<div style="clear: right; float:right">__TOC__</div><br />
Some Pokémon have major [[Variant Pokémon|variations]] between individuals, known as '''forms''' (Japanese: '''すがた''' ''form''). These variations all have differing appearances and are recognized by the [[Pokédex]]. Some Pokémon with form differences can change between their forms (e.g. {{p|Castform}}), while others are fixed and cannot be changed (e.g. {{p|Unown}}).<br />
<br />
Form differences were introduced in [[Generation II]], in which Unown was the only Pokémon to have them. All subsequent [[generation]]s have introduced multiple Pokémon with form differences. Pokémon able to change between their forms were first introduced in [[Generation III]].<br />
<br />
At times, these differences are purely cosmetic and have no bearing on the Pokémon's attributes besides its appearance; however, several Pokémon differ in [[stat]]s, [[type]], [[Ability]], [[move]]s they can learn, etc. depending on their form. Among these are several {{pkmn2|Legendary}} and [[Mythical Pokémon]], whose alternate forms are usually spelled as '''Formes''' (Japanese: '''フォルム''' ''Forme'').<br />
<br />
Starting in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, every official different form has a name given by the [[Pokédex]], though {{p|Arceus}}, {{p|Genesect}}, and {{p|Furfrou}}'s alternate forms were not recognized separately in the Pokédex until [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire]]. In [[Generation II|Generations II]], {{gen|III}}, and {{gen|IV}}, whichever form is encountered first will be the sprite displayed in the Pokédex by default; for example, if West Sea {{p|Shellos}} was encountered first, its sprite will appear in the Pokédex by default, whereas if East Sea Shellos was encountered first, its sprite will. In Generation II, the Pokédex has a separate [[Unown Mode]] to show the forms of Unown. In Generation IV, the "forms" section was added to the individual entries of each Pokémon, showing form differences that have been encountered, as well as [[List of Pokémon with gender differences|gender differences]]. In [[Generation V]], the forms section returns and displays [[Shiny Pokémon]] as separate forms (if they have been encountered); additionally, the sprite displayed in the Pokédex can be changed using the forms section. In {{game|Black and White|s}}, the forms section is only available after interacting with [[Cedric Juniper]] in [[Mistralton City]], while in {{game|Black and White|s 2|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2}}, it is available from the start. Starting in [[Generation VI]], the Pokédex does not have a separate forms section; instead, a Pokémon's forms (including Shiny forms and gender differences) that have been encountered can be switched between in the Pokémon's entry, and this changes the sprite shown in the Pokédex.<br />
<br />
==Pokémon with multiple forms==<br />
===Regional forms===<br />
{{main|Regional form}}<br />
In [[Pokémon Sun and Moon]], regional forms (formerly called regional variants) were introduced. These are Pokémon that have adapted specifically for the environment of the [[region]] they reside in and thus differ in appearance, as well as possibly other attributes such as [[type]], [[move]]s, [[Ability]], or [[base stats]], from the same species of Pokémon as found in other regions. Four regions are known to have their own regional forms: Alolan Forms are found in [[Alola]], Galarian Forms are found in [[Galar]], Hisuian Forms are found in [[Hisui]], and Paldean Forms are found in [[Paldea]].<br />
<br />
===Gender differences===<br />
{{main|List of Pokémon with gender differences}}<br />
Though the majority of Pokémon have no visual distinction between their [[gender]]s, there are some that do. Gender differences were introduced in [[Generation IV]], with multiple Pokémon from earlier generations having been updated to have these differences in addition to new Pokémon having them. Most gender differences affect nothing beyond the Pokémon's appearance; however, there are a number of exceptions, with {{p|Meowstic}}, {{p|Indeedee}}, and {{p|Oinkologne}} also differing in the [[move]]s they can learn and their [[Ability|Abilities]], and Indeedee, {{p|Basculegion}}, and Oinkologne differing in [[base stats]].<br />
<br />
===Mega Evolutions===<br />
{{main|Mega Evolution}}<br />
In [[Pokémon X and Y]], Mega Evolution was introduced, allowing certain Pokémon to achieve a more powerful form in battle. Mega Evolution may only be achieved if the Pokémon's {{pkmn|Trainer}} possesses a [[Key Stone]] and the Pokémon [[Held item|holds]] the [[Mega Stone]] corresponding to its species (with the sole exception of {{p|Rayquaza}}), and a Trainer can only Mega Evolve their Pokémon once per battle. In addition to altering the Pokémon's appearance, Mega Evolution changes its [[base stats]], and may also change its [[type]] and [[Ability]]. Mega Evolution has been removed from the core series as of [[Generation VIII]].<br />
<br />
===Gigantamax forms===<br />
{{main|Gigantamax}}<br />
Gigantamax is a mechanic featured only in [[Pokémon Sword and Shield]]. It is a special type of [[Dynamax]] that causes the Pokémon's appearance to change beyond simply an increase in size. Only certain species of Pokémon can Gigantamax, and even among Pokémon with Gigantamax forms, only those possessing a trait known as the Gigantamax Factor may Gigantamax. Gigantamaxing has many of the same effects as regular Dynamaxing; however, when a Pokémon Gigantamaxes, its attacking moves of a certain [[type]] are replaced with that Pokémon's exclusive [[G-Max Move]], rather than regular [[Max Move]]s.<br />
<br />
===Pikachu===<br />
====Cosplay Pikachu====<br />
{{main|Cosplay Pikachu}}<br />
Cosplay Pikachu is a unique [[Gender|female]] {{p|Pikachu}} who has a black heart-shaped mark at the end of its tail. It only appears in [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire]], in which it is obtained from a {{tc|Pokémon Breeder}} after the player takes part in their first {{pkmn|Contest|Pokémon Contest Spectacular}}. It is able to be dressed up into different costumes corresponding to each of the five [[Contest condition|conditions]] ({{OBP|Cool|condition|Coolness}}, {{OBP|Beautiful|condition|Beauty}}, {{OBP|Cute|condition|Cuteness}}, {{OBP|Clever|condition|Cleverness}}, and {{OBP|Tough|condition|Toughness}}) and learn a [[move]] associated with that condition that it otherwise could not learn. Cosplay Pikachu can change or remove its costume at any [[Contest Hall]], forgetting the move it learned with the last costume (if it still knows it) and learning the move from the new costume (if applicable). If Cosplay Pikachu removes its costume while the only move it knows is the move tied to its costume, it learns {{m|Thunder Shock}}.<br />
<br />
Unlike other Pikachu, it cannot [[Evolution|evolve]] or [[Pokémon breeding|breed]]. It also cannot be [[trade]]d via the [[Global Trade System|GTS]] or [[Wonder Trade]]. Additionally, as it is not present in any games besides Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, Cosplay Pikachu cannot be deposited into [[Pokémon Bank]], and does not register as a separate form in Pokémon Bank's [[Pokédex]] despite it registering separately in the Pokédex of Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire.<br />

====Pikachu in a cap====<br />
{{main|Pikachu in a cap}}<br />
These cap-wearing Pikachu are {{pkmn2|event}}-exclusive Pokémon that debuted in [[Pokémon Sun and Moon]]. Like [[Ash's Pikachu]], these Pikachu are always [[gender|male]] and cannot [[evolution|evolve]] or {{pkmn|breeding|breed}}. They are also able to use the event-exclusive [[Z-Crystal]] [[Pikashunium Z]] and its corresponding [[Z-Move]] {{m|10,000,000 Volt Thunderbolt}}. Their [[cry]] differs from that of regular Pikachu.<br />
<br />
Six variants exist in Sun and Moon, one for each of [[Ash's hat]]s from the anime's [[original series]] to ''[[Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon]]''. A seventh variant debuted in [[Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon]], wearing the Partner Cap, Ash's hat from ''[[M20|Pokémon the Movie: I Choose You!]]''. An eighth variant debuted in the Version 1.2.0 update of [[Pokémon Sword and Shield]], wearing the World Cap, Ash's hat from ''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]''.<br />
<br />
The original six Pikachu in caps were distributed via [[serial code]]s in Pokémon Sun and Moon in celebration of the [[Pokémon anime]]'s 20th movie, and by extension, the anime's 20th anniversary. Partner Cap Pikachu was distributed in Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon via a [[QR Code]] that can be [[QR Scanner|scanned]]. All eight Pikachu in caps (including World Cap Pikachu) were distributed via serial codes in Pokémon Sword and Shield to commemorate the anime's [[JN040|timeslot change]] to Fridays in Japan; uniquely, the Pikachu from this distribution can learn {{m|Volt Tackle}} from the [[Move Reminder]], {{OBP|Jack|Galar}}.<br />

<br />
===Tauros===<br />
{{anchor|Paldean Tauros}}<br />
{{rf|Paldean}} {{p|Tauros}} has three non-interchangeable forms: Combat Breed, Blaze Breed, and Aqua Breed. Visually, each breed has different horns, manes, and tails. The breeds have different [[type]]s, with Combat Breed being {{type|Fighting}}, Blaze Breed being {{2t|Fighting|Fire}}-type, and Aqua Breed being {{2t|Fighting|Water}}-type. They also learn different [[move]]s, and the type of Tauros's [[signature move]] {{m|Raging Bull}} changes based on the user's form, being Fighting-type for Combat Breed, Fire-type for Blaze Breed, and Water-type for Aqua Breed.<br />

===Pichu===<br />
{{main|Spiky-eared Pichu}}<br />
Spiky-eared Pichu is a unique [[Gender|female]] {{p|Pichu}} that has a tuft of hair on the end of its left ear. It only appears in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}. Spiky-eared Pichu cannot [[Evolution|evolve]], and its [[Pokéathlon]] [[performance]] stats differ from those of a normal Pichu.<br />
<br />
The [[List of event Pokémon with in-game effects#Pichu|Pikachu-colored Pichu]] is a {{Shiny}} Pichu distributed in [[Event Pokémon|event]]s in {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}; if it is [[trade]]d to Pokémon HeartGold or SoulSilver and taken to the [[Ilex Forest]], Spiky-eared Pichu will join the player (this will still happen even if the Pikachu-colored Pichu evolves before or after being traded). This is the only way to obtain Spiky-eared Pichu, and it cannot be traded, so only one can be obtained per game. It also cannot be [[transfer]]red to the [[Generation V]] games.<br />

|}<br />
<br />
===Unown===<br />
{{p|Unown}} has many forms, each of them corresponding to a typographical character. All Unown forms are known as "One form" (Japanese: あるすがた ''a form''), as seen in the Pokédex from [[Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl]] onwards, as well as in [[Pokémon HOME]].<br />
<br />
It was the first Pokémon to have multiple forms in the games. From its debut in [[Generation II]], there are 26 forms of Unown, each corresponding to each of the 26 letters of the {{wp|Latin alphabet}}. Starting in the [[Generation III]] games, Unown has two additional forms, corresponding to the {{wp|question mark}} and {{wp|exclamation mark}}. These forms are not interchangeable.<br />
<br />
In {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}, there is a special [[Unown Mode]], an upgrade to the Pokédex that was developed by the researchers at the [[Ruins of Alph]] to record the different forms of Unown, which is available after the player has caught several Unown. In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, there is the [[Unown Report]], which is obtainable after the player completes the first tile puzzle in the Ruins of Alph.<br />
<br />
In the Generation II games, Unown's form is determined by its {{IV}}s, which results in some strange phenomena; for example, in Generation II, only Unown I and V can be {{Shiny}} due to Shininess also being determined by IVs in these games. In the [[Generation III]] games, Unown's form is determined by its [[personality value]]. From the Generation IV games onward, Unown's letter is determined by a [[Pokémon data structure (Generation IV)#Alternate forms|separate form identifier]], unrelated to the personality value.<br />
<br />
Though the form has no bearing on [[base stats]], punctuation Unown have different [[performance]] stats to alphabetical Unown.<br />

<br />
===Castform===<br />
{{p|Castform}} has four different interchangeable forms, which it switches between based on the [[weather]] in {{pkmn|battle}}s due to its [[Ability]] {{a|Forecast}}. Each of its forms has a different [[type]] to match the weather. Castform was the first Pokémon to have interchangeable forms.<br />
<br />
By default, Castform is {{type|Normal}} and has a plain appearance with a gray body. It is always in this form outside of battle, and it begins battles in this form. It remains in this form in clear weather, in any weather without a specific form, or if the weather has its effects negated by an active Ability.<br />
<br />
In [[harsh sunlight]], Forecast changes Castform into its Sunny Form, which is {{type|Fire}} and resembles the sun. In [[rain]], Forecast changes Castform into its Rainy Form, which is {{type|Water}} and resembles a raindrop. In {{weather|hail}}, Forecast changes Castform into its Snowy Form, which is {{type|Ice}} and resembles a snowy cloud. Castform reverts to its normal form when [[Recall|withdrawn]] from battle.<br />
<br />
In [[Generation III|Generations III]] and {{gen|IV}}, if Forecast is suppressed or replaced, Castform will remain in its current form (regardless of the weather). From [[Generation V]] onward, if Forecast is suppressed or replaced, Castform will revert to its normal form (regardless of the weather).<br />
<br />
Prior to [[Generation VIII]], {{Shiny}} Castform only appeared Shiny in its normal form.<br />

===Kyogre and Groudon===<br />
{{anchor|Kyogre}}<br />
{{anchor|Groudon}}<br />
In [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire]], {{p|Kyogre}} and {{p|Groudon}} gained new forms, which they achieve through a phenomenon called [[Primal Reversion]]. When sent out in battle, Kyogre will change into Primal Kyogre if holding a [[Blue Orb]], while Groudon will change into Primal Groudon if holding a [[Red Orb]]. Unlike [[Mega Evolution]], these changes happen automatically once they become active in battle, and the player is not prompted for them. They revert back to their regular forms after the battle ends. These forms returned in [[Generation VII]], but have been removed from the core series as of [[Generation VIII]], like Mega Evolution.<br />
<br />
The forms differ in [[base stats]], [[Ability]], [[cry]], and, in Groudon's case, [[type]].<br />

<br />
===Deoxys===<br />
{{p|Deoxys}} has four different forms which it can switch between. It was the first Pokémon whose [[base stats]] and the [[move]]s it could learn differed depending on its form.<br />
<br />
In [[Generation III]], Deoxys's forms are game-specific, such that it will always be in one particular form while in the player's possession (although it will always be in Normal Forme in the {{pkmn2|wild}}). Its form can only be changed by [[Trade|trading]] it to a different game.<br />
*In {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}, {{g|Colosseum}}, and [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]], it will be in Normal Forme.<br />
*In {{game3|FireRed and LeafGreen|Pokémon FireRed|s}}, it will be in Attack Forme.<br />
*In {{game3|FireRed and LeafGreen|Pokémon LeafGreen|s}}, it will be in Defense Forme.<br />
*In {{game|Emerald}}, it will be in Speed Forme.<br />
<br />
From [[Generation IV]] onward, the player can switch between its forms by interacting with certain meteorites while it is in the [[party]]:<br />
*In [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Versions|Pokémon Diamond, Pearl]], [[Pokémon Platinum Version|Platinum]], [[Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl|Brilliant Diamond, and Shining Pearl]], using meteorites outside in [[Veilstone City]].<br />
*In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, using meteorites outside on {{rt|3|Kanto}}.<br />
*In [[Pokémon Black and White Versions|Pokémon Black, White]], [[Pokémon Black and White Versions 2|Black 2, and White 2]], using the meteorite in the {{DL|Nacrene City|Nacrene Museum}} in [[Nacrene City]].<br />
*In {{g|X and Y}}, using meteorites in the {{DL|Ambrette Town|Fossil Lab}} in [[Ambrette Town]].<br />
*In {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, using the meteorite in [[Professor Cozmo]]'s house in [[Fallarbor Town]].<br />
*In [[Pokémon Sun and Moon|Pokémon Sun, Moon]], [[Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon]], using the meteorite next to [[Sophocles]] in the [[Hokulani Observatory]] on [[Mount Hokulani]].<br />
<br />
Deoxys's Normal Forme is the default form it takes. In this form, it has very high {{stat|Attack}}, {{stat|Special Attack}}, and {{stat|Speed}}, but low {{stat|Defense}} and {{stat|Special Defense}}, alongside a low {{stat|HP}} stat (which remains the same in all of its forms).<br />
<br />
Deoxys's Attack Forme has even higher {{stat|Attack}} and {{stat|Special Attack}} than its other forms (having the highest {{stat|Special Attack}} and second highest {{stat|Attack}} of any non-Mega Evolved, non-Primal Pokémon) and learns more offensive moves. Its {{stat|Defense}} and {{stat|Special Defense}} are abysmal, much lower than its Normal Forme. Its {{stat|Speed}} remains the same as its Normal Forme.<br />
<br />
Deoxys's Defense Forme has much higher {{stat|Defense}} and {{stat|Special Defense}} than its other forms and learns more defensive moves. Its {{stat|Attack}}, {{stat|Special Attack}}, and {{stat|Speed}} are much lower than its Normal Forme.<br />
<br />
Deoxys's Speed Forme has much higher {{stat|Speed}} than its other forms (being the Pokémon with the second-highest Speed) and learns many increased [[priority]] moves. Additionally, its {{stat|Defense}} and {{stat|Special Defense}} are higher than its Normal Forme, while its {{stat|Attack}} and {{stat|Special Attack}} are lower than its Normal Forme.<br />

===Burmy and Wormadam===<br />
{{anchor|Burmy}}<br />
{{anchor|Wormadam}}<br />
Both {{p|Burmy}} and its female evolution, {{p|Wormadam}}, have three separate forms. Burmy can change form freely, changing its cloak depending on the environment in which it last participated in a battle (so [[Exp. Share]] alone will not change its form). Wormadam cannot change form; when a Burmy evolves into Wormadam, it retains its cloak.<br />
<br />
Apart from {{pkmn|breeding}} and [[evolution]], Burmy's cloak is purely cosmetic; conversely, different cloaks of Wormadam have different [[type]]s, [[stat]]s, and learnsets. Bred Burmy will have the same cloak as the mother, will be in the same cloak as a Burmy or Wormadam bred with {{p|Ditto}}, or will be in Plant Cloak if bred from a {{p|Mothim}} and a Ditto.<br />
<br />
If a Burmy last battled in a grassy area or water, it changes into its Plant Cloak. If female, Plant Cloak Burmy will evolve into Plant Cloak Wormadam, which is a {{2t|Bug|Grass}} Pokémon. This cloak is composed of leaves and twigs.<br />
<br />
If a Burmy last battled in a sandy or rocky area, it changes into its Sandy Cloak. If female, Sandy Cloak Burmy will evolve into Sandy Cloak Wormadam, which is a {{2t|Bug|Ground}} Pokémon. This cloak is composed of sand and rocks.<br />
<br />
If a Burmy last battled in a building or urban area, it changes into its Trash Cloak. If female, Trash Cloak Burmy will evolve into Trash Cloak Wormadam, which is a {{2t|Bug|Steel}} Pokémon. This cloak is composed of pink {{wp|building insulation|insulation}}.<br />

<br />
===Cherrim===<br />
{{p|Cherrim}} changes form depending on the [[weather]] in battle. During [[harsh sunlight]] (and without an active [[Ability]] nullifying the weather), it changes into Sunshine Form; otherwise, it is in its Overcast Form. Due to its Ability {{a|Flower Gift}}, its {{stat|Attack}} and {{stat|Special Defense}} increase in its Sunshine Form. Outside of battle, it is always in Overcast Form.<br />
<br />
In [[Generation IV]], Cherrim changes form independently of its Ability. Starting in [[Generation V]], it is Cherrim's Ability that changes its form, except in [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]], in which Cherrim's form and stats change without Flower Gift due to the game's lack of Abilities.<br />
<br />
In Japanese, the names of Cherrim's forms use 「フォルム」 ''form'', the term otherwise primarily used in the names of forms localized as Forme in English.<br />

===Shellos and Gastrodon===<br />
{{anchor|Shellos}}<br />
{{anchor|Gastrodon}}<br />
{{p|Shellos}} and {{p|Gastrodon}} each have two different forms: West Sea and East Sea. In most cases, where they are encountered in the {{pkmn2|wild}} determines their form. This is purely a cosmetic difference, and these Pokémon cannot change between forms.<br />
<br />
West Sea Shellos is pink and white in color, with West Sea Gastrodon being pink and brown, whereas East Sea Shellos and Gastrodon are both blue and green in color. There is also a slight difference in shape depending on the form.<br />
<br />
In [[Sinnoh]] and [[Hisui]], West Sea Shellos and Gastrodon are encountered west of [[Mount Coronet]], while East Sea Shellos and Gastrodon are encountered east of Mount Coronet. In other [[region]]s, only one form appears in the wild per game (with the other only obtainable via [[trade|trading]] or [[transfer]]): Gastrodon only appears in its West Sea form in [[Kalos]]'s [[Friend Safari]]; in [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire]], Shellos appears as a {{DL|DexNav|hidden Pokémon}}, with West Sea appearing in Omega Ruby and East Sea appearing in Alpha Sapphire; and in [[Alola]] and [[Galar]], only East Sea Shellos and Gastrodon appear in the wild.<br />
<br />
[[Pokémon breeding|Bred]] Shellos are always the same form as their mother, or the same form as the Shellos or Gastrodon parent if bred with {{p|Ditto}}.<br />

===Rotom===<br />
{{redirect|Heat|the Badge given by [[Flannery]]|Badge#Heat Badge|Badge → Heat Badge}}<br />
[[File:Rotom parts.png|thumb|Rotom and the appliances]]<br />
{{p|Rotom}} has five alternate forms it can change between, in addition to its normal form. To take on these alternate forms, Rotom possesses a different {{wp|household appliance}}, and each has its own special [[move]]. These alternate forms were introduced in {{game|Platinum}}.<br />
*When Rotom has not possessed an appliance (or, in [[Generation VIII]], is possessing a {{wp|Electric light|light bulb}}), it is {{2t|Electric|Ghost}}.<br />
*Heat Rotom, which has possessed a {{wp|microwave oven}}, knows {{m|Overheat}}, and is {{2t|Electric|Fire}}.<br />
*Wash Rotom, which has possessed a {{wp|washing machine}}, knows {{m|Hydro Pump}}, and is {{2t|Electric|Water}}.<br />
*Frost Rotom, which has possessed a {{wp|refrigerator}}, knows {{m|Blizzard}}, and is {{2t|Electric|Ice}}.<br />
*Fan Rotom, which has possessed an {{wp|Fan (machine)|electric fan}}, knows {{m|Air Slash}}, and is {{2t|Electric|Flying}}.<br />
*Mow Rotom, which has possessed a {{wp|lawn mower}}, knows {{m|Leaf Storm}}, and is {{2t|Electric|Grass}}.<br />
<br />
In [[Generation IV]], all forms of Rotom are {{2t|Electric|Ghost}}-type; from Generation V onward, the appliance forms replace the Ghost type with the type of their associated move. All appliance forms have the same [[base stats]], with a higher total than that of Rotom's regular form; the only base stat of normal Rotom that is higher than its appliance forms is its Speed.<br />
<br />
*In {{game|Platinum}}, [[Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl|Brilliant Diamond, and Shining Pearl]], the appliances are located in [[Rotom's Room]] in the [[Team Galactic Eterna Building]], which can only be accessed by using the {{si|Secret Key}}.<br />
*In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, the appliances are located in [[Rotom's Room]] in [[Silph Co.]], which can be accessed when entering the broken elevator with Rotom as the [[walking Pokémon]].<br />
*In [[Pokémon Black and White Versions|Pokémon Black, White]], [[Pokémon Black and White Versions 2|Black 2, and White 2]], the appliances are located in boxes in the basement of [[Shopping Mall Nine]].<br />
*In {{g|X and Y}}, the appliances are located in boxes on the second floor of the Sycamore Pokémon Lab in [[Lumiose City]].<br />
*In {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, the appliances are located in boxes in [[Professor Birch]]'s lab in [[Littleroot Town]].<br />
*In [[Pokémon Sun and Moon|Pokémon Sun, Moon]], [[Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon]], the appliances are located in boxes in [[Professor Kukui]]'s lab in [[Alola Route 1|Hau'oli Outskirts]].<br />
*In [[Pokémon Sword and Shield|Pokémon Sword, Shield]], [[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet|Scarlet, and Violet]], the [[Rotom Catalog]] appears as a [[Key Item]] that allows the player to change Rotom's form at will wherever they are. It can be obtained in [[Wyndon]] in Sword and Shield and can be purchased from an auction in [[Porto Marinada]] if the player owns a Rotom in Scarlet and Violet.<br />
*In [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]], an appliance may sometimes be sold by [[Ginter]] of the [[Ginkgo Guild]]; after being purchased, it is placed in the player's [[Jubilife Village#Your Quarters|quarters]].<br />
Using these locations, Rotom can also return the appliance to change back to its normal form (with the exception of Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl, in which the Rotom Catalog is used instead, obtained in Rotom's Room after Rotom enters one of the appliances). In [[Generation IV]], Rotom changes back to its normal form when taken into the [[Union Room]] or [[Wi-Fi Club]], or when deposited in the [[Pokémon Day Care]].<br />
<br />
[[Pokémon Egg|Hatched]] Rotom are always in their normal form.<br />
<br />
Upon changing into an appliance form, Rotom will learn the special move associated with the form, and upon changing from an appliance form, it will forget that special move. When changing form, if Rotom knows four moves but not the special move of its previous form, the player will be prompted to replace a move with the new exclusive move (Rotom cannot change to an appliance form unless it does). If Rotom's only known move is its special move and it changes to its normal form, then the Rotom will learn {{m|Thunder Shock}}. In [[Generation IV|Generations IV]] and {{gen|V}}, if Rotom forgets the move that is tied to its appliance form, it changes back into its normal form. Starting in Generation VI, Rotom can remain in an appliance form even if it forgets the associated special move.<br />
<br />
Rotom's appliance forms first appeared as silhouettes in August 2008, shortly before the Japanese release of {{game|Platinum}}, with a statement that indicated that these Pokémon would be in the game. Days before the game's release, it was revealed that these Pokémon were the alternate forms of Rotom. These new forms made their debut in Pokémon Platinum, and have been included in every [[core series]] game since.<br />

<br />
There are more forms that Rotom assumes when possessing other appliances such as the [[Rotom Pokédex]], [[Rotom Phone]], [[Rotomi]], and {{DL|Battle judge|Drone Rotom}}. These forms do not have battle abilities and are not obtainable as actual Pokémon, instead functioning as [[non-player character]]s. These Rotom enhance the functions of the devices they inhabit and usually have the ability to [[Talking Pokémon|speak]]. The Rotom Pokédex appears in Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon, the Rotom Phone appears in Sword, Shield, Scarlet, and Violet, and the Rotomi and Drone Rotom appear in Sword and Shield.<br />

===Creation trio===<br />
{{anchor|Dialga}}<br />
{{anchor|Palkia}}<br />
{{anchor|Giratina}}<br />
The [[creation trio]] have the ability to switch to a second form: Origin Forme. Giratina is unique, as its standard form is called Altered Forme.<br />
<br />
The base forms of Dialga and Palkia, and Giratina's Altered Forme, first debuted in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}. {{p|Giratina}}'s Origin Forme was first introduced in {{game|Platinum}} while {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Palkia}}'s Origin Formes were introduced in [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]]. Dialga, Palkia, and Giratina can switch between their two forms by being exposed to the [[Adamant Crystal]], [[Lustrous Globe]], and [[Griseous Orb]]/[[Griseous Core]] respectively. If any of the three is deposited in [[Pokémon HOME]] in Origin Forme, it will revert to its base form.<br />
<br />
The forms differ in their [[base stats]]: Dialga's Origin Forme has decreased {{stat|Attack}} and increased {{stat|Special Defense}}, Palkia's Origin Forme has decreased {{stat|Attack}} and increased {{stat|Speed}}, and Giratina's Origin Forme has its {{stat|Defense}} and {{stat|Special Defense}} switched with its {{stat|Attack}} and {{stat|Special Attack}} (in all cases, the base stat totals are unchanged). In Pokémon Legends: Arceus, all three [[Legendary Pokémon]]'s signature moves have modified base power and accuracy when used by their Origin Formes as well as unique animations.<br />
<br />
In the [[Pokémon world]], Giratina is in its Altered Forme, while in the [[Distortion World]] or while holding a Griseous Orb, it is in its Origin Forme.<br />

<br />
===Shaymin===<br />
{{p|Shaymin}} has two forms it can change between. The Sky Forme was introduced in {{game|Platinum}}.<br />
<br />
Normally, Shaymin is in its Land Forme, which is {{type|Grass}} and resembles a hedgehog. When exposed to a [[Gracidea]], Shaymin transforms into its Sky Forme, which is {{2t|Grass|Flying}}-type and white in color.<br />
<br />
Sky Forme Shaymin will revert back into and remain in its Land Forme at night or if it is {{status|frozen}}; Shaymin also changes back to Land Forme when deposited in the [[PC]] (prior to [[Generation VII]]), when withdrawn from the PC (Generation VII onward), when deposited in [[Pokémon Bank]] (but not [[Pokémon HOME]]), or when deposited in the [[Pokémon Day Care]] or [[Pokémon Nursery]]. In [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]], Sky Forme Shaymin will also revert to Land Forme when exposed to a Gracidea again, and will not revert back into its Land Forme at night unless it enters a {{pkmn|battle}} during the night.<br />
<br />
The two forms have different [[base stats]], {{Abilities}}, [[type]]s, [[move]]s they can learn, and [[cry|cries]].<br />

<br />
===Arceus===<br />
{{p|Arceus}} has multiple different forms that it switches between with its Ability {{a|Multitype}}, with each of its forms having a different [[type]]. In total, it has eighteen different forms, one for each type. Though most of its forms were introduced in [[Generation IV]], its {{type|Fairy}} form was introduced in [[Generation VI]], along with the Fairy type as a whole.<br />
<br />
By default, Arceus is in its {{type|Normal}} form. If it [[held item|hold]]s (or, in [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]], is exposed to) a [[Plate]] or type-specific [[Z-Crystal]], it changes its form to be the same type as the type the Plate or Z-Crystal corresponds to.<br />
<br />
In games prior to Legends: Arceus, Arceus's [[signature move]] {{m|Judgment}} is Normal-type by default, but changes to match the type of the Plate that it holds (being unaffected by Z-Crystals). In Legends: Arceus, the type of Judgment is directly determined by Arceus's form, such that its type always matches that of Arceus; additionally, Arceus can change its form during a {{pkmn|battle}} using the [[Legend Plate]]. After being exposed to the Legend Plate, it will be in its Normal-type form by default and change its form before using {{m|Judgment}} to have a type advantage over the target (prioritizing any double weaknesses the target may have); this also changes Judgment's type to match Arceus's. It reverts back to its Normal-type form when the battle ends. If Arceus is deposited into [[Pokémon HOME]] while in any of its alternate forms, it reverts to its Normal-type form; if it is under the effects of the Legend Plate when deposited into Pokémon HOME, these effects wear off.<br />
<br />
In addition to its changing type, Arceus's [[Pokéathlon]] performance differs depending on its form, and it can only learn {{m|Draco Meteor}} while in its {{type|Dragon}} form.<br />
<br />
In the [[Generation IV]] games, there is an unused {{type|???}} Arceus, but it cannot be obtained in the games as there is no ???-type Plate. This form was removed in [[Generation V]] due to the removal of the ??? type.<br />
<br />
Prior to [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire]], Arceus's alternate forms were not registered separately in the [[Pokédex]].<br />

===Basculin===<br />
{{p|Basculin}} has three different forms: Red-Striped Form, Blue-Striped Form, and White-Striped Form. The Red-Striped Form has red stripes with wide, red eyes and spiky fins; the Blue-Striped Form has blue stripes with blue, squinted eyes and smooth fins; and the White-Striped Form has a combination of both fin styles with cyan stripes and wide, cyan eyes. These forms are non-interchangeable.<br />
<br />
*In {{game|Black and White|s|Pokémon Black}} and {{game|Black and White|s 2|Black 2}}, Red-Striped Basculin can be encountered normally, while Blue-Striped Basculin can only be encountered by {{m|surf}}ing on or [[fishing]] in [[Phenomenon|rippling water]].<br />
*In {{game|Black and White|s|Pokémon White}} and {{game|Black and White|s 2|White 2}}, Blue-Striped Basculin can be encountered normally, while Red-Striped Basculin can only be encountered by surfing on or fishing in rippling water.<br />
*In {{pkmn|X and Y|Pokémon X}}, Blue-Striped Basculin can only be encountered using a [[Good Rod]] while Red-Striped Basculin can only be encountered using a [[Super Rod]]. This order is reversed in Pokémon Y, with Red-Striped Basculin requiring a Good Rod and Blue-Striped Basculin requiring a Super Rod. {{rt|21|Kalos}} is the exception, where only Red-Striped Basculin can be caught with either rod.<br />
*In [[Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon]], Red-Striped Basculin are found [[Version-exclusive Pokémon|exclusively]] in Ultra Sun, while Blue-Striped Basculin are found exclusively in Ultra Moon.<br />
*In [[Pokémon Sword and Shield]], Red-Striped Basculin are found exclusively in Sword, while Blue-Striped Basculin are found exclusively in Shield.<br />
*White-Striped Basculin were not introduced until [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]]. They are the only form encountered in this game.<br />
<br />
[[Pokémon breeding|Bred]] Basculin are the same form as their mother, or the same form as the Basculin parent if bred with {{p|Ditto}}.<br />
<br />
The three forms differ in their {{Abilities}}, with {{a|Reckless}} being exclusive to Red-Striped Basculin, {{a|Rock Head}} being exclusive to Blue-Striped Basculin, and {{a|Rattled}} being exclusive to White-Striped Basculin, though all three forms share {{a|Adaptability}} as a possible Ability and {{a|Mold Breaker}} as a {{DL|Ability|Hidden Abilities|Hidden Ability}}. Additionally, wild Red-Striped Basculin have a 5% chance of holding a [[Deep Sea Tooth]], while wild Blue-Striped Basculin have a 5% chance of holding a [[Deep Sea Scale]]. White-Striped Basculin differ from the other two forms in the [[move]]s they can learn, and are also the only one of the forms that can evolve into {{p|Basculegion}}.<br />
<br />
White-Striped Basculin is considered to be a {{rf|Hisuian|Form}} in [[Pokémon HOME]], though it is unique in that its name does not use the "Hisuian" prefix.<br />
<br />
In Pokémon Black and White, Blue-Striped Basculin have the same two standard possible Abilities as Red-Striped Basculin, {{a|Reckless}} and {{a|Adaptability}} (and are listed as such in [[Pokédex 3D]]); however, the Blue-Striped Basculin that can be obtained via in-game trade in Pokémon White has the Ability {{a|Rock Head}}. In Pokémon Black 2 and White 2, wild Blue-Striped Basculin's two standard possible Abilities were changed to {{a|Rock Head}} and {{a|Adaptability}}, while Red-Striped Basculin's stay the same (and are listed as such in [[Pokédex 3D Pro]]); however, Blue-Striped Basculin [[Pokémon breeding|bred]] in Pokémon Black 2 and White 2 have Reckless and Adaptability as their two standard Abilities. When a Blue-Striped Basculin with Reckless is [[transfer]]red from [[Generation V]] to [[Pokémon Bank]], its Ability is changed to Rock Head.<br />

===Darmanitan===<br />
If {{p|Darmanitan}} has {{a|Zen Mode}} as its Ability, it changes from Standard Mode into Zen Mode when its {{stat|HP}} drops to or below half in {{pkmn|battle}}s. It is in Zen Mode in battle only.<br />
<br />
Standard Mode Darmanitan is {{type|Fire}} and red in color. Zen Mode Darmanitan is {{2t|Fire|Psychic}}-type and blue in color. Galarian Darmanitan is {{type|Ice}} and white in color with blue accents, while Galarian Zen Mode Darmanitan is {{2t|Ice|Fire}}-type and white in color with red accents.<br />
<br />
The original two forms have different stats, such that Zen Mode Darmanitan swaps the Attack and Special Attack of Standard Mode, and has higher defenses but lower Speed. On the other hand, Galarian Darmanitan, in its Zen Mode, simply has increased Attack and Speed compared to its Standard Mode.<br />

===Deerling and Sawsbuck===<br />
{{anchor|Deerling}}<br />
{{anchor|Sawsbuck}}<br />
{{Incomplete|needs=Needs more Gen 9 details (how exactly the form changes, breeding, etc.)}}<br />
{{p|Deerling}} and {{p|Sawsbuck}} have four different forms, each corresponding to a {{OBP|season|mechanic}}. These forms are interchangeable in [[Generation V]] and [[Generation IX]] but not in other games. They are purely cosmetic.<br />
<br />
In the Generation V games, Deerling and Sawsbuck will change their form to match the current season if they are in the [[party]] when the season changes. All {{pkmn2|wild}}, [[Pokémon breeding|bred]], and NPC Trainer-owned Deerling and Sawsbuck will match the current season, with the exception of those owned by NPC Trainers in the [[Battle Subway]] and the [[Pokémon World Tournament]], which are always in Spring Form.<br />
<br />
In [[Generation VI|Generations VI]] through {{gen|VIII}}, with the abandonment of seasons as a mechanic, Deerling and Sawsbuck are unable to change their form. All wild and NPC Trainer-owned Deerling and Sawsbuck are in Spring Form, while bred Deerling are in the same form as their mother, or the same form as the Deerling or Sawsbuck parent if bred with {{p|Ditto}}. The Summer, Autumn, and Winter forms are only obtainable via [[transfer]] from a [[Generation V]] game or from [[Pokémon GO]].<br />
<br />
In Generation IX, Deerling and Sawsbuck are once again able to change forms, but the form they will become is now based on the location that the game was loaded in rather than the season. Wild Deerling and Sawsbuck also vary in form based on location. In [[Paldea]], Spring Form corresponds to the South Province, Summer Form to the East Province, Autumn Form to the West Province, and Winter Form to the North Province.<br />

===Forces of Nature===<br />
{{anchor|Tornadus}}<br />
{{anchor|Thundurus}}<br />
{{anchor|Landorus}}<br />
{{anchor|Enamorus}}<br />
The [[Forces of Nature]]—{{p|Tornadus}}, {{p|Thundurus}}, {{p|Landorus}}, and {{p|Enamorus}}—have two interchangeable forms each.<br />
<br />
By default, they are in their Incarnate Formes. When exposed to the [[Reveal Glass]], they change into Therian Forme; if exposed to the Reveal Glass again, they revert back to Incarnate Forme. Their Therian Formes were introduced in {{game|Black and White|s 2|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2}}, except for in the case of Enamorus, which had both of its forms introduced in [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]].<br />
<br />
The two forms have different [[base stats]], {{Abilities}}, and [[cry|cries]]. Each Therian Forme only has one possible Ability, despite the Incarnate Formes having different Hidden Abilities.<br />
<br />
In the [[Generation V]] games, these Pokémon cannot be [[trade]]d while in Therian Forme. This prevents Therian Formes from being traded to {{g|Black and White}}, where they don't exist.<br />

|}<br />
<br />
===Kyurem===<br />
{{p|Kyurem}}, in addition to its normal form, has two other forms: White Kyurem and Black Kyurem. They are the [[game mascot]]s of {{game|Black and White|s 2|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2}}, which they were introduced in.<br />
<br />
Kyurem changes its form through the use of the [[DNA Splicers]], which fuses it with {{p|Reshiram}} or {{p|Zekrom}}. The combination retains Kyurem's attributes, such as its [[level]], [[Poké Ball]], [[held item]], [[game of origin]], [[personality value]], {{IV}}s, {{EV}}s, [[nickname]], [[original Trainer|OT]], [[Trainer ID number|Trainer ID number, secret ID number]], met location, [[Pokérus]], and so on. This fusion can be reversed by using the DNA Splicers again, with Reshiram or Zekrom remaining unaltered from before being fused, including whatever item it may have been holding. The DNA Splicers can only fuse one Kyurem at a time. White Kyurem and Black Kyurem cannot be deposited into [[Pokémon Bank]] or [[Pokémon HOME]], nor can they be [[trade]]d or [[release]]d without having the fusion undone first.<br />
<br />
White Kyurem has the [[Ability]] {{a|Turboblaze}} and learns the [[move]]s {{m|Fusion Flare}} and {{m|Ice Burn}} by leveling up, and its [[cry]] is a combination of normal Kyurem and Reshiram's cries. Black Kyurem has the Ability {{a|Teravolt}} and learns the moves {{m|Fusion Bolt}} and {{m|Freeze Shock}} by leveling up, and its cry is a combination of normal Kyurem and Zekrom's cries.<br />
<br />
When Kyurem becomes fused with or separated from either Reshiram or Zekrom while it knows certain moves, Kyurem's moveset will automatically be updated without prompting the player. Fusing Kyurem will replace {{m|Scary Face}} with either Fusion Bolt or Fusion Flare, and replace {{m|Glaciate}} with either Freeze Shock or Ice Burn, if one or both of these moves are present. Reversing the fusion will perform the inverse of these move transformations. In [[Generation VIII]], it is possible for Kyurem to learn Scary Face by [[TM]] after becoming fused; in these games, if Kyurem becomes unfused while it knows both Scary Face and the fusion move, the fusion move will change back to Scary Face and then all but the earliest instance of Scary Face will be deleted from the moveset, to prevent having duplicate copies of the same move.<br />

===Keldeo===<br />
{{p|Keldeo}} has two interchangeable forms: Ordinary Form and Resolute Form. These forms are mostly cosmetic. The Resolute Form was introduced in {{game|Black and White|s 2|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2}}.<br />
<br />
If Keldeo is taught {{m|Secret Sword}} in Pokémon Black 2 or White 2, or in any game in [[Generation VI]] or later, it will change into Resolute Form. If it forgets Secret Sword, it returns to Ordinary Form. Keldeo taught Secret Sword in {{game|Black and White|s}} remain in Ordinary Form when [[trade]]d or [[transfer]]red to later games, though in [[Pokémon Sword and Shield]], an Ordinary Form Keldeo that knows Secret Sword will change to Resolute Form if it is in the [[party]] at the end of a {{pkmn|battle}}, or upon learning or forgetting any [[move]] other than Secret Sword.<br />

Their [[base stats]] also differ, with Pirouette Forme having higher {{stat|Attack}}, {{stat|Defense}} and {{stat|Speed}} but lower {{stat|Special Attack}} and {{stat|Special Defense}} than Aria Forme.<br />
<br />
Meloetta starts {{pkmn|battle}}s in Aria Forme. If it uses the move {{m|Relic Song}}, it changes between the two forms. It reverts to Aria Forme if withdrawn. Outside of battle, Meloetta is always in its Aria Forme.<br />

{{p|Genesect}} has five interchangeable forms. Its form changes to match the [[Drive]] it [[held item|hold]]s, which also changes the type of its [[signature move]], {{m|Techno Blast}}.<br />
<br />
*If no Drive is held, Techno Blast will be {{type|Normal}} and Genesect will appear to have a dark yellow Drive.<br />
*If a [[Shock Drive]] is held, Techno Blast will be {{type|Electric}} and Genesect will appear to have a light yellow Drive.<br />
*If a [[Burn Drive]] is held, Techno Blast will be {{type|Fire}} and Genesect will appear to have a red Drive.<br />
*If a [[Chill Drive]] is held, Techno Blast will be {{type|Ice}} and Genesect will appear to have a cyan Drive.<br />
*If a [[Douse Drive]] is held, Techno Blast will be {{type|Water}} and Genesect will appear to have a blue Drive.<br />
<br />
Prior to [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire]], Genesect's alternate forms were not registered in the [[Pokédex]].<br />

===Greninja===<br />
{{redirect|Ash-Greninja|the Greninja that belonged to [[Ash Ketchum]]|Ash's Greninja}}<br />
In the [[S19|''XY&Z'' arc]] of the {{pkmn|anime}}'s ''[[Pokémon the Series: XY]]'', [[Ash's Greninja]] gained the ability to transform into a stronger form known as "Ash-Greninja" through an occurrence referred to as [[Bond Phenomenon]]. This form was introduced to the games in [[Pokémon Sun and Moon]].<br />
<br />
In the [[Generation VII]] games, a {{p|Greninja}} with the Ability {{a|Battle Bond}} will transform into Ash-Greninja after it directly causes an opponent to [[fainting|faint]] without ending the battle. It will remain in this form until either it faints or the battle ends; in the former case, this prevents it from changing back into Ash-Greninja for the remainder of the battle. Ash-Greninja has different [[base stats]] than regular Greninja, with increased {{stat|Attack}}, {{stat|Special Attack}}, and {{stat|Speed}}; additionally, the [[move]] {{m|Water Shuriken}} will be more [[power]]ful and always hit 3 times. Ash-Greninja is not present in {{g|Scarlet and Violet|s}} due to Battle Bond having its effect changed.<br />
<br />
Internally, normal Greninja with Battle Bond are considered to be a separate form to Greninja with {{a|Torrent}} or {{a|Protean}}. These Greninja are always [[gender|male]], cannot {{pkmn|breeding|breed}}, and, like [[Special Pokémon]], are banned from the [[Battle Spot]]. A Greninja with Battle Bond can be transferred to [[Pokémon Sun and Moon]] from the [[Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon Special Demo Version|Special Demo Version]]. This is the only way to obtain it, meaning it will become unobtainable for players who do not have the demo downloaded after the discontinuation of the 3DS Nintendo eShop on March 27, 2023.<br />

===Vivillon===<br />
{{incomplete|section|Do countries such as Ukraine and Myanmar has a 3DS set country option for their Vivillon forms?; map of the entire world about locations of Vivillon forms that is obtainable}}<br />
{{p|Vivillon}} has 18 different patterns that it can have on its wings. In [[Generation VI]] and [[Generation VII]], its pattern depends on the set geographic location of the [[Nintendo 3DS]] system on which it was generated (for {{pkmn|Egg}}s, this means the game in which the Egg was created, regardless of parents). This form cannot be changed. {{p|Scatterbug}} and {{p|Spewpa}} have the pattern of Vivillon they will evolve into already set. The pattern of Vivillon encountered within a game is determined from the system's set geographic location when the save file is created and cannot be changed later unless the game is reset.<br />

In [[Generation IX]], all Spewpa evolve into the Fancy Pattern regardless of the set geographic location of the [[Nintendo Switch]] system, though other Vivillon still appear under the ownership of [[Non-player character|NPCs]]. The Fancy Pattern was originally an {{pkmn2|event}}-exclusive Pokémon and was [[GTS Fancy Pattern Vivillon|distributed]] in [[Pokémon X and Y]] via the [[Nintendo Network]] from July 8 to 31, 2014 to celebrate the GTS's 100 millionth Pokémon [[trade]].<br />

{{anchor|Flabébé}}<br />
{{anchor|Floette}}<br />
{{anchor|Florges}}<br />
{{p|Flabébé}}, {{p|Floette}}, and {{p|Florges}} have one of five different flower colors: red, yellow, orange, blue, and white. The flower color is maintained through [[evolution]] and cannot be changed.<br />
<br />
In {{g|X and Y}}, Flabébé appear in the {{pkmn2|wild}} in {{DL|Tall grass|flowers}}, with the colors of Flabébé's flower available depending on the flower patch (although each flower patch has multiple Flabébé flower colors). In {{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}}, wild Yellow Flower Flabébé appear in [[Melemele Meadow]], with Orange and White Flower Flabébé appearing as its allies called in an [[SOS Battle]]; wild Red Flower Floette appear in [[Ula'ula Meadow]], with Orange and White Flower Floette appearing as its allies called in an SOS Battle; and wild Blue Flower Floette appear in [[Poni Meadow]] and do not call for help.<br />
<br />
[[Pokémon breeding|Bred]] Flabébé have the same color flower as their mother, or the same form as the Flabébé, Floette, or Florges parent if bred with {{p|Ditto}}.<br />
<br />
In [[Generation VI]], since only Blue Flower, Red Flower, and Yellow Flower Floette can appear in the [[Friend Safari]], only these forms of Flabébé, Floette, and Florges can have their {{DL|Ability|Hidden Abilities|Hidden Ability}} {{a|Symbiosis}}. In [[Generation VII]], all forms of the Flabébé evolutionary line can have their Hidden Ability, though the Blue Flower forms cannot be caught with it and must be [[transfer]]red with it from a prior game in order to have it.<br />

[[File:AZ's Floette.png|thumb|200px|AZ's unique Floette]]<br />
In the storyline of {{g|X and Y}}, there is also a unique Floette who [[AZ]] befriended 3,000 years ago. The flower it wields has a different design than normal, resembling the structure of the ancient [[ultimate weapon]] constructed by AZ; the form also has a blue, red, and white color scheme instead of green, yellow, and white, reflecting the colors of the {{wp|Flag of France|French tricolor}}. The [[Generation VI]] and {{gen|VII}} games include unused data for this Floette as a usable form known as Eternal Flower Floette, but it is unobtainable. Unlike the other forms, it cannot [[Evolution|evolve]] or [[Pokémon breeding|breed]], does not have the {{Hidden Ability}} {{a|Symbiosis}}, and can learn the otherwise unused move {{m|Light of Ruin}} at [[level]] 50, being the [[Signature move|only Pokémon able to do so]]. Additionally, all of its [[base stats]] are greater than those of a regular Floette.<br />

===Furfrou===<br />
{{p|Furfrou}} can be groomed into one of nine different trims. It can only remain with one of these trims for five days after being groomed. Furfrou will also lose its trim when it is deposited in a [[Pokémon Storage System|Box]] (in [[Generation VI]]), withdrawn from a Box (in [[Generation VII]]), deposited in [[Pokémon Bank]], or deposited in the [[Pokémon Day Care]] or [[Pokémon Nursery]]. It is in its Natural Form by default, and will revert to this form if it loses its trim. However, it is possible to deposit trimmed Furfrou in [[Pokémon HOME]] by [[GO Transporter|transferring]] them from [[Pokémon GO]].<br />
<br />
The location at which Furfrou can be groomed differs between games:<br />
*In {{g|X and Y}}, Furfrou can be groomed at {{DL|Lumiose City|Friseur Furfrou}} in [[Lumiose City]] for {{PDollar}}500. The player gains access to more trims as they become more [[Lumiose City#Style|stylish]].<br />
*In {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, Furfrou can be groomed at the [[Pokémon Fan Club]] in [[Slateport City]] for {{PDollar}}500.<br />
*In [[Pokémon Sun and Moon|Pokémon Sun, Moon]], [[Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon]], Furfrou can be groomed for {{PDollar}}500 by a {{tc|Punk Girl}} at [[Malie City]]'s salon or a {{tc|Beauty}} at [[Hau'oli City]]'s salon{{sup/7|USUM}}.<br />
<br />
In Pokémon X and Y only, Furfrou's trims are not registered in the [[Pokédex]].<br />

===Aegislash===<br />
{{p|Aegislash}}, due to its [[Ability]] {{a|Stance Change}}, can change forms in {{pkmn|battle}} depending on the [[move]]s it uses. It starts battles in its Shield Forme; using a damaging move will change it to Blade Forme, and using {{m|King's Shield}} will change it back into Shield Forme (both form changes take place immediately before the move is used). It reverts to Shield Forme when [[Recall|switched out]]. Outside of battle, it is always in Shield Forme.<br />
<br />
The two forms have different [[base stats]], with Shield Forme Aegislash having high {{stat|Defense}} and {{stat|Special Defense}} while Blade Forme Aegislash instead has high {{stat|Attack}} and {{stat|Special Attack}}.<br />

===Pumpkaboo and Gourgeist===<br />
{{anchor|Pumpkaboo}}<br />
{{anchor|Gourgeist}}<br />
{{p|Pumpkaboo}} and {{p|Gourgeist}} each have four different sizes: Small, Average, Large, or Super. Larger sizes of Pumpkaboo are rarer to encounter in the {{pkmn2|wild}}. These forms are non-interchangeable.<br />
<br />
Different sizes have different [[base stats]]. For Pumpkaboo, with each increase in size, its base {{stat|HP}} stat increases by 5 points while its base {{stat|Speed}} stat decreases by 5 points. For Gourgeist, with each increase in size, its base HP stat increases by 10 points and its base {{stat|Attack}} stat increases by 5 points while its base Speed stat decreases by 15 points. Consequently, the base stat total of a Pumpkaboo or Gourgeist does not vary with size.<br />
<br />
[[Pokémon breeding|Bred]] Pumpkaboo are the same size as their mother, or the same size as the Pumpkaboo or Gourgeist parent if bred with {{p|Ditto}}.<br />
<br />
Wild Super Size Pumpkaboo will always hold a [[Miracle Seed]], whereas other sizes will never hold an [[item]] in the wild. Super Size variants have different, lower-pitched [[Cry|cries]] than the other forms, and are also the only Pokémon to have the XXL size designation in [[Pokémon GO]].<br />
<br />
Previously, only Average Size and Super Size Pumpkaboo and Gourgeist could have their {{DL|Ability|Hidden Abilities|Hidden Ability}} {{a|Insomnia}}. Average Size can be obtained with its Hidden Ability from the [[Friend Safari]]; Super Size could be obtained with its Hidden Ability from {{pkmn2|event}}s. Since Version 1.2.0 of [[Pokémon Sword and Shield]], all sizes can be obtained with their Hidden Abilities via [[Ability Patch]]es.<br />
<br />
The different sizes of Pumpkaboo and Gourgeist do not use different menu sprites, except in [[Pokémon HOME]].<br />

===Xerneas===<br />
{{p|Xerneas}} has two forms: Neutral Mode and Active Mode. There is no gameplay difference between them; Xerneas appears in Active Mode in {{pkmn|battle}}s and [[Pokémon Contest|Pokémon Contest Spectacular]]s, and appears in Neutral Mode in other situations, such as in cutscenes, the [[party]] and [[summary]] screens, the [[Pokémon Storage System]], [[Pokémon-Amie]], [[Pokémon Refresh]], [[Pokémon Camp]], and as a [[walking Pokémon]]. According to the Pokédex, Xerneas shares everlasting life while it is in Active Mode.<br />
<br />
Xerneas's horns and some highlights in its fur are light blue in Neutral Mode and light gold in Active Mode. In Active Mode, the protrusions on its horns and the spots on its back light up in several different colors.<br />

<br />
===Zygarde===<br />
{{p|Zygarde}} has three different Formes, as well as two distinct constituent parts. The 50% Forme debuted in [[Pokémon X and Y]]. The other two Formes and both constituent parts debuted in the {{pkmn|anime}} during the ''{{DL|List of Pokémon the Series: XY episodes|XY&Z}}'' arc of ''[[Pokémon the Series: XY]]'', and made their [[core series]] debut in [[Pokémon Sun and Moon]].<br />
<br />
A Zygarde Cell is a single cell of Zygarde. They can be found scattered throughout the [[Alola]] region. They do not have thoughts or will, and can communicate with Zygarde Cores via telepathy. They are incapable of performing [[move]]s.<br />
<br />
A Zygarde Core is a "brain" of Zygarde. They can communicate with Zygarde Cells and other Cores via telepathy. They take action when the region's ecosystem is threatened.<br />
<br />
Zygarde 10% Forme is a Zygarde with 10% of its cells. It has razor-sharp teeth, and can reach speeds up to 60&nbsp;mph (100&nbsp;km/h). It can change into Complete Forme with its [[Ability]] {{a|Power Construct}}.<br />
<br />
Zygarde 50% Forme is a Zygarde with 50% of its cells. It watches over and maintains the local ecosystem. It can change into Complete Forme with its Ability Power Construct.<br />
<br />
A Zygarde with the Power Construct Ability will change into Complete Forme when its HP falls below half in a {{pkmn|battle}}.<br />
<br />
Zygarde Complete Forme is a Zygarde with 100% of its cells. Zygarde only takes on this form when the ecosystem is under threat and it believes Zygarde 50% Forme is unable to deal with it. Its power is said to exceed that of {{p|Xerneas}} and {{p|Yveltal}}.<br />
<br />
In [[Pokémon Sun and Moon|Pokémon Sun, Moon]], [[Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon]], the Aether Base on {{rt|16|Alola}} on [[Ula'ula Island]] contains a Reassembly Unit, which can be used to create Zygarde 10% Forme and Zygarde 50% Forme from Zygarde Cells and Cores in the player's [[Zygarde Cube]], or disassemble Zygarde with Aura Break back into Cells and Cores (Zygarde with Power Construct cannot be separated).<br />
<br />
The player can create any number of Zygarde using the Reassembly Unit as long they have enough Cores and Cells. A Zygarde 10% Forme with Aura Break can be assembled with 10 Cells and Cores, a Zygarde 50% Forme with Aura Break can be assembled with 50 Cells and Cores, and a Zygarde 50% Forme with Power Construct can be assembled with 100 Cells and Cores. The Zygarde Cube can be used to change a Zygarde with Power Construct between 10% Forme and 50% Forme; Zygarde with Aura Break cannot change forms.<br />
<br />
While only 100 Cells and Cores are normally available in one save file, the player can obtain more by separating Zygarde with Aura Break from other save files. A Zygarde separated into Cells will be lost forever.<br />
<br />
In Pokémon Sun and Moon, the player can collect Zygarde Cells and Cores in the overworld throughout the Alola region after obtaining the Zygarde Cube. There are a total of 5 Cores and 95 Cells throughout the region.<br />
<br />
In Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon, the player can catch a wild Zygarde 50% Forme in [[Resolution Cave]] on [[Poni Island]]; after the player catches this Zygarde, [[Dexio]] will battle the player on {{rt|16|Alola}}, and upon being defeated, he will give the player the Zygarde Cube (containing 40 Zygarde Cells) and Zygarde 10% Forme.<br />

<br />
===Hoopa===<br />
{{p|Hoopa}} has two forms it can change between using the [[Prison Bottle]].<br />
<br />
By default, Hoopa Confined is the form taken by Hoopa, which is {{2t|Psychic|Ghost}}. When exposed to a Prison Bottle, Hoopa Confined transforms into Hoopa Unbound, which is {{2t|Psychic|Dark}}. Hoopa Unbound was introduced in [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire]].<br />
<br />
Hoopa Unbound will change back into Hoopa Confined after three days have passed since using the Prison Bottle; Hoopa also changes back to Hoopa Confined when deposited in the [[PC]] (prior to [[Generation VII]]), when withdrawn from the PC (Generation VII), or when deposited in the [[Pokémon Day Care]] or [[Pokémon Nursery]].<br />
<br />
The two forms have different [[base stats]], [[type]]s, learnsets, and [[cry|cries]]. Additionally, the [[move]] {{m|Hyperspace Fury}} is usable only by Hoopa Unbound (or a Pokémon that has transformed into Hoopa Unbound with {{m|Transform}} or {{a|Imposter}}), and will fail if Hoopa Confined (or any other Pokémon) attempts to use it.<br />

===Oricorio===<br />
{{p|Oricorio}} has four distinct styles. Each island of [[Alola]] has a different form of Oricorio in the [[Wild Pokémon|wild]]: Baile Style is found on [[Ula'ula Island]], Pom-Pom Style on [[Melemele Island]], Pa'u Style on [[Akala Island]], and Sensu Style on [[Poni Island]]. Oricorio can change between its forms by sipping [[Nectar]], with [[Red Nectar]] changing it to Baile Style, [[Yellow Nectar]] changing it to Pom-Pom Style, [[Pink Nectar]] changing it to Pa'u Style, and [[Purple Nectar]] changing it to Sensu Style. Each of Oricorio's four styles has a different primary [[type]]; Oricorio's [[signature move]] {{m|Revelation Dance}} changes type to match the user's primary type. The forms also have different [[cry|cries]].<br />

===Lycanroc===<br />
{{anchor|Rockruff}}<br />
{{Incomplete|needs=Gen IX mechanics}}<br />
{{p|Lycanroc}} has three non-interchangeable forms: Midday Form, Midnight Form, and Dusk Form. In {{pkmn|Sun and Moon|Pokémon Sun}} and {{pkmn|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Pokémon Ultra Sun}}, {{p|Rockruff}} will only [[Evolution|evolve]] into Midday Form Lycanroc and can only do so in the [[Time|day]], while in {{pkmn|Sun and Moon|Pokémon Moon}} and {{pkmn|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Pokémon Ultra Moon}}, Rockruff will only evolve into Midnight Form Lycanroc and can only do so at [[Time|night]] (though both Midday Form and Midnight Form can be caught in the {{pkmn2|wild}} in all versions). In [[Generation VIII]] onward, Rockruff's evolution depends solely on the time of day rather than what game it is in, with it evolving into Midday Form in the day and Midnight Form at night.<br />
<br />
Dusk Form debuted in [[Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon]]; only special Rockruff with the [[Ability]] {{a|Own Tempo}} can evolve into Dusk Form Lycanroc (and are unable to evolve into the other two forms), and this evolution can only happen from 5:00 PM to 5:59 PM in [[Generation VII]] or from 7:00 PM to 7:59 PM in [[Generation VIII]]. Internally, the games consider Rockruff with Own Tempo to be a separate form than Rockruff with {{a|Keen Eye}}, {{a|Vital Spirit}}, or {{a|Steadfast}}, and Rockruff with Own Tempo and Dusk Form Lycanroc can [[Pokémon breeding|breed]] to produce more Rockruff with Own Tempo. After initially being {{pkmn2|event}}-exclusive, Own Tempo Rockruff and Dusk Form Lycanroc were later made available through normal means in [[Pokémon Sword and Shield]].<br />
<br />
Lycanroc's forms have different [[base stats]], {{Abilities}}, learnsets, and [[cry|cries]].<br />

===Wishiwashi===<br />
{{p|Wishiwashi}} has two interchangeable forms: Solo Form and School Form. It can change between them using its {{a|Schooling}} [[Ability]] if it is at least [[level]] 20. Its two forms have different [[base stats]], with School Form having significantly higher {{stat|Attack}}, {{stat|Defense}}, {{stat|Special Attack}}, and {{stat|Special Defense}}, but lower {{stat|Speed}} and identical {{stat|HP}}. The two forms also have different [[Cry|cries]]. Outside of battle, Wishiwashi is always in Solo Form.<br />
<br />
Wishiwashi starts {{pkmn|battle}}s in its Solo Form. If it is at least level 20 and has above 25% of its maximum {{stat|HP}} remaining when it enters battle, it will change into its School Form. If its remaining HP is at or below 25% of its maximum HP at the end of a turn, it will revert back to Solo Form; however, if it subsequently has above 25% of its maximum HP remaining at the end of a turn, it will change back into School Form. If it is switched out while in School Form, it will revert to its Solo Form.<br />

<br />
===Silvally===<br />
{{p|Silvally}} has multiple different forms that it switches between with its [[Ability]] {{a|RKS System}}, with each of its forms having a different [[type]]. In total, it has eighteen different forms, one for each type.<br />
<br />
By default, Silvally is in its {{type|Normal}} form. If it [[held item|hold]]s a [[memory]], it changes its form to be the same type as the type the memory corresponds to.<br />
<br />
In [[Generation VII]], Silvally can only learn {{m|Draco Meteor}} while in its {{type|Dragon}} form; however, in [[Generation VIII]], it can learn Draco Meteor regardless of its form.<br />

===Minior===<br />
{{p|Minior}} has two forms: Meteor Form and Core Form, and changes between them with its [[Ability]] {{a|Shields Down}}. It is always in Core Form outside of battle. In {{pkmn|battle}}s, it starts in Meteor Form, but if its {{stat|HP}} is at or below 50% of its maximum HP at the end of a turn, its shell breaks and it changes into Core Form. It changes back into Meteor Form at the end of a turn if its HP is above 50% of its maximum HP.<br />
<br />
Meteor Form and Core Form have different stats:<br />
*Meteor Form Minior has lower attacking stats and {{stat|Speed}}, but higher defenses.<br />
*Core Form Minior has higher attacking stats and Speed, but lower defenses.<br />
<br />
Due to its Ability Shields Down, Meteor Form Minior cannot be afflicted by [[status condition]]s or become drowsy due to {{m|Yawn}}.<br />

|}<br />
<br />
Minior's Core Form can be one of seven different colors, each corresponding to one of the colors of a {{wp|rainbow}}. These forms are purely cosmetic and are non-interchangeable. [[Pokémon breeding|Bred]] Minior will always have the same color as their parent.<br />

===Mimikyu===<br />
{{p|Mimikyu}} has two interchangeable forms: Disguised Form and Busted Form. It is always in Disguised Form outside of {{pkmn|battle}}s.<br />
<br />
Mimikyu starts battles in its Disguised Form. When it is hit by a damaging [[move]], its [[Ability]] {{a|Disguise}} reduces the damage it takes from it: in [[Generation VII]], it takes no damage from it at all, and in [[Generation VIII]] onward, it nullifies the attack's damage but then loses 1/8 of its maximum {{stat|HP}}. Afterwards, its disguise slumps to the side and it changes into Busted Form. While in Busted Form, it can be damaged normally. Mimikyu will stay in Busted Form until either it [[fainted|faint]]s or the battle ends.<br />

<br />
===Necrozma===<br />
{{p|Necrozma}} has three additional forms: Dusk Mane Necrozma, Dawn Wings Necrozma, and Ultra Necrozma. All three of these forms were introduced in [[Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon]].<br />
<br />
Dusk Mane Necrozma is the form it attains from absorbing {{p|Solgaleo}}. The player can induce and undo this fusion with the [[N-Solarizer]]. After fusing, Necrozma will attempt to learn {{m|Sunsteel Strike}}, and can hold [[Solganium Z]] to access Solgaleo's exclusive [[Z-Move]], {{m|Searing Sunraze Smash}}. Its [[cry]] is a combination of normal Necrozma and Solgaleo's cries.<br />
<br />
Dawn Wings Necrozma is the form it attains from absorbing {{p|Lunala}}. The player can induce and undo this fusion with the [[N-Lunarizer]]. After fusing, Necrozma will attempt to learn {{m|Moongeist Beam}}, and can hold [[Lunalium Z]] to access Lunala's exclusive Z-Move, {{m|Menacing Moonraze Maelstrom}}. Its cry is a combination of normal Necrozma and Lunala's cries.<br />
<br />
If Necrozma separates from Solgaleo or Lunala while it knows the borrowed move (Sunsteel Strike or Moongeist Beam), that move will be forgotten. If the borrowed move was its only [[move]], Necrozma will learn {{m|Confusion}}.<br />
<br />
Due to the mechanics of the N-Solarizer and N-Lunarizer, each player can have a maximum of one Dusk Mane Necrozma and one Dawn Wings Necrozma at a time per game (though having both at the same time requires [[Trade|trading]] or [[transfer]]ring for a second Necrozma). If it is fused with Solgaleo or Lunala, Necrozma cannot be traded, [[release]]d, or deposited into [[Pokémon Bank]] or [[Pokémon HOME]].<br />
<br />
Ultra Necrozma is a third form Necrozma can attain if it enters a {{pkmn|battle}} in its Dusk Mane or Dawn Wings form while holding its exclusive [[Z-Crystal]], [[Ultranecrozium Z]], at which point the player can use the [[Ultra Burst]] command from the move menu to transform it into Ultra Necrozma. Once transformed, Ultra Necrozma can also use the Ultranecrozium Z on a subsequent turn to upgrade {{m|Photon Geyser}} into its exclusive Z-Move, {{m|Light That Burns the Sky}}. Ultra Necrozma will revert to its previous form when it [[Fainting|faints]] or when the battle ends. Ultra Burst can only be used once per battle, even if the player has multiple Necrozma or revives a fainted Necrozma. Ultra Necrozma has been removed from the core series as of [[Generation VIII]].<br />

<br />
===Magearna===<br />
{{p|Magearna}} has an alternate form called Original Color Magearna. The two forms are non-interchangeable, and the difference between them is purely aesthetic: the Original Color form is red and gold. Prior to the launch of [[Pokémon HOME]], Original Color Magearna was not able to be legitimately obtained, and it only appeared in an official capacity in ''[[M19|Volcanion and the Mechanical Marvel]]''. Since Pokémon HOME's release in February 2020, if a player completes the [[National Pokédex]] (up to {{p|Eternatus}}, including [[Mythical Pokémon]]), they will receive a [[Mystery Gift]] containing an Original Color Magearna.<br />

<br />
===Cramorant===<br />
{{p|Cramorant}} has three forms. It is always in its standard form outside of {{pkmn|battle}}, while its other two forms are activated in battle by its [[Ability]], {{a|Gulp Missile}}.<br />
<br />
Cramorant starts battle in its standard form. If it uses {{m|Surf}} or {{m|Dive}} in this form while it has over 50% of its maximum {{stat|HP}} remaining, it will change into Gulping Form, which has an {{p|Arrokuda}} caught in its beak. If Gulping Form Cramorant is hit by a damaging [[move]], then Cramorant will spit the Arrokuda out at the attacker, which deals damage equal to 25% of their maximum HP, lowers their {{stat|Defense}} by one stage, and reverts Cramorant back to its standard form.<br />
<br />
If Cramorant uses {{m|Surf}} or {{m|Dive}} in its standard form while it is at or below 50% of its maximum HP, it will change into Gorging Form, which has a {{p|Pikachu}} caught in its beak. If Gorging Form Cramorant is hit by a damaging move, then Cramorant will spit the Pikachu out at the attacker, which deals damage equal to 25% of their maximum HP, {{status|Paralyzed|paralyzes}} them, and reverts Cramorant back to its standard form.<br />

<br />
===Toxtricity===<br />
{{p|Toxtricity}} has two non-interchangeable forms: Amped Form and Low Key Form. When {{p|Toxel}} [[Evolution|evolves]] into Toxtricity, the form it evolves into depends on its [[Nature]] (unaffected by [[mint]]s):<br />
*Toxel will evolve into Amped Form Toxtricity if its Nature is Hardy, Brave, Adamant, Naughty, Docile, Impish, Lax, Hasty, Jolly, Naive, Rash, Sassy, or Quirky.<br />
*Toxel will evolve into Low Key Form Toxtricity if its Nature is Lonely, Bold, Relaxed, Timid, Serious, Modest, Mild, Quiet, Bashful, Calm, Gentle, or Careful.<br />
<br />
Both forms of Toxtricity have the same [[base stats]], but learn slightly different [[move]]s, and have different possible {{Abilities}}. Both forms have access to the same [[Gigantamax]] form.<br />

===Sinistea and Polteageist===<br />
{{anchor|Sinistea}}<br />
{{anchor|Polteageist}}<br />
{{p|Sinistea}} and {{p|Polteageist}} each have two non-interchangeable forms: Phony Form and Antique Form<ref name="guide">[[Pokémon Sword & Pokémon Shield: The Official Galar Region Strategy Guide]]</ref>. The Antique Form is rarer and has a stamp of authenticity hidden on the underside of its base. The only functional difference between the two forms is the [[Evolution item]] used by Sinistea to [[Evolution|evolve]] into Polteageist: Phony Form Sinistea require a [[Cracked Pot]], while Antique Form Sinistea require a [[Chipped Pot]]. [[Pokémon breeding|Bred]] Sinistea will always be in Phony Form.<br />
<br />
In Japanese, the names of Sinistea and Polteageist's forms use 「フォルム」 ''form'', the term otherwise primarily used in the names of forms localized as Forme in English.<br />

===Alcremie===<br />
{{p|Alcremie}}'s form depends on two different parameters: its cream and type of [[Sweet]]. Cream affects the color of Alcremie's body, while the Sweet affects its eye color and head ornaments. There are nine different types of cream and seven different types of Sweet. Any type of cream can be paired with any Sweet, resulting in 63 different non-[[Gigantamax]] forms of Alcremie, not including its {{Shiny}} coloration. Each of Alcremie's creams have different menu sprites and Pokédex entries, while Sweets only affect the appearance of Alcremie's 3D model; all of Alcremie's menu sprites show it with a [[Strawberry Sweet]], regardless of its actual Sweet. Alcremie's forms are purely aesthetic.<br />
<br />
Alcremie's form is non-interchangeable and is decided when it evolves from {{p|Milcery}}. Milcery evolves into Alcremie while holding a [[Sweet]] when its Trainer spins and strikes a pose while it is in the [[party]]. The type of Sweet on Alcremie is dependent on which Sweet it was holding, while the cream color varies depending on the [[Time|time of day]], the length of the spin, and whether the Trainer was spinning clockwise or counterclockwise.<br />
<br />
All Alcremie forms have access to the same Gigantamax form. Normally, the only Gigantamax Alcremie that can be encountered in [[Max Raid Battle]]s have Vanilla Cream and the Strawberry Sweet. However, all types of cream appeared as Gigantamax Alcremie in limited-time [[Wild Area News]], but only with the Strawberry Sweet. Additionally, Milcery with the Gigantamax Factor were also available in limited-time Wild Area News, enabling players to obtain a Gigantamax Alcremie with any Sweet and cream combination. [[Max Soup]] can also be used to give any Alcremie the Gigantamax Factor.<br />
<br />
Shiny Alcremie always has the same color, regardless of its actual cream type (which is still visible in its menu sprite).<br />

{{p|Eiscue}} has two interchangeable forms: Ice Face and Noice Face. It switches between them with its [[Ability]] {{a|Ice Face}}. It is always in its Ice Face form outside of {{pkmn|battle}}.<br />
<br />
Eiscue starts battles in Ice Face form. When it is hit by a [[physical move]], it does not take damage and instead transforms into Noice Face form. In this form, it has decreased {{stat|Defense}} and {{stat|Special Defense}} and increased {{stat|Speed}}, and it can be damaged by normal means. When in Noice Face form, Eiscue will change back to Ice Face form if {{weather|hail}} or [[snow]] begins while it is on the field, or if it is sent out into battle while it is hailing or snowing.<br />

===Zacian and Zamazenta===<br />
{{anchor|Zacian}}<br />
{{anchor|Zamazenta}}<br />
The [[Legendary Pokémon]] {{p|Zacian}} and {{p|Zamazenta}} each have two forms that change their appearance, [[stat]]s, [[type]]s, and [[Cry|cries]]. Their default forms are both called Hero of Many Battles; they are always in this form outside of {{pkmn|battle}}. In battle, Zacian will be in its Crowned Sword form if it is holding a [[Rusted Sword]], while Zamazenta will be in its Crowned Shield form if it is holding a [[Rusted Shield]]. In these forms, they both gain {{t|Steel}} as a secondary type; additionally, Zacian has increased {{stat|Attack}} and {{stat|Speed}}, while Zamazenta has increased {{stat|Defense}} and {{stat|Special Defense}} but decreased Speed.<br />
<br />
If Zacian knows {{m|Iron Head}}, then it will be replaced with {{m|Behemoth Blade}} while it is in its Crowned Sword form; if Zamazenta knows Iron Head, then it will be replaced with {{m|Behemoth Bash}} while it is in its Crowned Shield form.<br />

===Eternatus===<br />
During the climax of [[Pokémon Sword and Shield]], the player confronts a powered-up version of {{p|Eternatus}} known as Eternamax Eternatus, which is fought in a semi-scripted [[Max Raid Battle]] and uses [[Max Move]]s like a [[Dynamax]]ed Pokémon. This form is unobtainable, but briefly appears in the move animation for {{m|Eternabeam}}. Its [[cry]] and [[base stats]] are different to those of its regular form (with it having the highest base stats of any Pokémon to date). If a Pokémon targets Eternamax Eternatus with {{m|Transform}} or {{a|Imposter}}, it will instead transform into Eternatus's regular form.<br />

===Urshifu===<br />
{{p|Urshifu}} has two non-interchangeable forms. When {{p|Kubfu}} [[Evolution|evolve]]s, the form of Urshifu it evolves into is dependent on which of the [[Towers of Two Fists]] it evolved at. Urshifu's Single Strike Style is {{2t|Fighting|Dark}} and is obtained by evolving Kubfu at the [[Tower of Darkness]], whereas its Rapid Strike Style is {{2t|Fighting|Water}} and is obtained by evolving Kubfu at the [[Tower of Waters]]. Both forms have the same [[base stat]]s, but different learnsets, types, and [[Gigantamax]] forms.<br />

===Zarude===<br />
{{p|Zarude}} has an alternate form called Dada Zarude. It wears a pink, ripped cape bearing {{p|Celebi}}'s [[National Pokédex]] number, and it was reported to have left its pack to raise {{OBP|Koko|M23|a human child}}, as seen in the 23rd movie, ''[[M23|Secrets of the Jungle]]''. Zarude's forms are purely cosmetic and are non-interchangeable.<br />

<br />
===Calyrex===<br />
{{p|Calyrex}} has two alternate forms, Ice Rider and Shadow Rider, which were introduced in [[The Crown Tundra]] expansion for [[Pokémon Sword and Shield]]. The [[Reins of Unity]] can be used to combine Calyrex with either {{p|Glastrier}} or {{p|Spectrier}}, with the former resulting in its Ice Rider form and the latter its Shadow Rider form; the same item can also be used to undo the fusion and revert Calyrex to its standard form. Each fused form has its own [[Ability]] that combines Calyrex's base {{a|Unnerve}} Ability with either Glastrier's {{a|Chilling Neigh}} or Spectrier's {{a|Grim Neigh}}, but in both cases, the combined Ability is called {{a|As One}}.<br />
<br />
*Ice Rider Calyrex is the result of combining with Glastrier and is {{2t|Psychic|Ice}}. After combining, Calyrex will learn {{m|Glacial Lance}}. Its [[cry]] is a combination of regular Calyrex and Glastrier's cries.<br />
*Shadow Rider Calyrex is the result of combining with Spectrier and is {{2t|Psychic|Ghost}}. After combining, Calyrex will learn {{m|Astral Barrage}}. Its cry is a combination of regular Calyrex and Spectrier's cries.<br />
<br />
The forms differ in [[base stats]] and learn different [[move]]s from each other. If Calyrex separates from Glastrier or Spectrier, it will forget Glacial Lance or Astral Barrage, along with any other moves it knows that Calyrex can't learn in its base form. If this process would leave Calyrex without any moves, it will learn {{m|Confusion}}.<br />
<br />
If Calyrex is combined with Glastrier or Spectrier, it cannot be [[trade]]d, [[release]]d, or deposited into [[Pokémon HOME]]. Due to this and the mechanics of the Reins of Unity, it is only possible to have a single mounted Calyrex at a time.<br />

===Dudunsparce===<br />
{{p|Dudunsparce}} has two non-interchangeable forms: Two-Segment Form and Three-Segment Form. Aside from a weight difference, the difference between the two forms is purely aesthetic. The form {{p|Dunsparce}} [[Evolution|evolves]] into is determined based on its [[personality value#Dudunsparce's form|encryption constant]], with a 99% chance of it evolving into the Two-Segment Form and a 1% chance of it evolving into the Three-Segment Form. This is not the case for [[Wild Pokémon|wild]] Dudunsparce obtained via [[Tera Raid Battle]]s, as these may be either form regardless of their encryption constant value. Despite being visually different, these two forms share the same menu sprite.<br />

{{p|Palafin}} has two interchangeable forms: Zero Form and Hero Form. It is always in Zero Form outside of {{pkmn|battles}}.<br />

Palafin starts battles in its Zero Form. When it is [[Recall|switched out]] without [[Fainted|fainting]], it changes into Hero Form with its [[Ability]] {{a|Zero to Hero}}, and remains in that form until the battle ends. The two forms have different [[base stats]], with Hero Form having increased {{stat|Attack}}, {{stat|Defense}}, {{stat|Special Attack}}, and {{stat|Special Defense}} but identical {{stat|HP}} and {{stat|Speed}} compared to Zero Form.<br />

===Revavroom===<br />
{{p|Revavroom}} has six forms in total, consisting of its normal form and five Starmobile forms, one for each of the [[Team Star]] bosses. These forms are non-interchangeable.<br />
<br />
In its normal form, Revavroom is {{2t|Steel|Poison}} and can have {{a|Overcoat}} or {{a|Filter}} as its [[Ability]] (the latter only as its [[Ability#Hidden Abilities|Hidden Ability]]). The Starmobile forms were created by [[Ortega]] and are only seen in battles against the bosses of Team Star in [[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet]], being unobtainable by the player. They each have different [[type]]s and Abilities and their own [[signature move]]s.<br />
* The Segin Starmobile, used by [[Giacomo]], is a {{t|Dark}} type with the Ability {{a|Intimidate}} and the signature move {{m|Wicked Torque}}.<br />
* The Schedar Starmobile, used by [[Mela]], is a {{t|Fire}} type with the Ability {{a|Speed Boost}} and the signature move {{m|Blazing Torque}}.<br />
* The Navi Starmobile, used by [[Atticus]], is a {{t|Poison}} type with the Ability {{a|Toxic Debris}} and the signature move {{m|Noxious Torque}}.<br />
* The Ruchbah Starmobile, used by Ortega, is a {{t|Fairy}} type with the Ability {{a|Misty Surge}} and the signature move {{m|Magical Torque}}.<br />

The forms differ in their [[Ability|Abilities]], with Chest Form having {{a|Rattled}} and Roaming Form having {{a|Run Away}}, as well as their [[base stats]], with Chest Form having higher {{stat|Defense}} and {{stat|Special Defense}} but lower {{stat|Speed}} compared to Roaming Form.<br />

==Form-like transformations==<br />
Some Pokémon have transformations that may resemble forms and have official names, but they do not register as discrete forms in the [[Pokédex]].<br />
===Reshiram, Zekrom, and Kyurem===<br />
{{p|Reshiram}}, {{p|Zekrom}}, [[#Kyurem|White Kyurem, and Black Kyurem]] enter Overdrive mode when their emotions surge, lighting parts of their bodies in flames or electricity in the process. Reshiram and Zekrom enter Overdrive mode when using their [[signature move]]s ({{m|Fusion Flare}} and {{m|Blue Flare}} for Reshiram, {{m|Fusion Bolt}} and {{m|Bolt Strike}} for Zekrom) and are usually not in Overdrive mode otherwise. Black and White Kyurem, however, are always in Overdrive mode in battle.<br />

<br />
===Solgaleo and Lunala===<br />
{{p|Solgaleo}} and {{p|Lunala}} enter special phases when using their powers, shining brighter than normal. Solgaleo's phase is called the Radiant Sun phase, while Lunala's is the Full Moon phase. They both enter this phase while in [[Ultra Space]] (although not while in battle) or when using their [[signature move]]s. For Solgaleo, these moves are {{m|Sunsteel Strike}} and {{m|Searing Sunraze Smash}}; for Lunala, these are {{m|Moongeist Beam}} and {{m|Menacing Moonraze Maelstrom}}.<br />

<br />
===Marshadow===<br />

===Koraidon and Miraidon===<br />
{{p|Koraidon}} and {{p|Miraidon}} can enter one of three different forms when they travel the [[Paldea]] region and two forms based on how much power they have. They can change their forms to better suit what they are doing or what terrain they are traveling over. <br />

==In other games==<br />
===Pokémon Shuffle===<br />
{{main|List of Pokémon by Pokémon Shuffle list number}}<br />
In [[Pokémon Shuffle]], Pokémon with different forms have different [[Skill]]s and can have different Attack Powers and max levels.<br />
<br />
Most Pokémon with forms in the core series games also have those forms in Pokémon Shuffle. Many Pokémon have a "Winking" form, notably including most of the [[starter Pokémon]]. There are also a few Pokémon with a "Spooky" or "Holiday" form. Pikachu has a large variety of forms, mostly unique to Pokémon Shuffle.<br />
<br />
===Pokémon GO===<br />
{{main|List of Pokémon with form differences (GO)}}<br />
The majority of Pokémon in [[Pokémon GO]] have their forms determined at the time of capture and impossible to change, with the exceptions of {{p|Shaymin}}, {{p|Furfrou}}, and {{p|Hoopa}}. Although every species has one [[Pokédex]] entry each, a Pokémon is considered different from any of its alternate forms; this means that even if a player has one form of the Pokémon species registered in the Pokédex, an alternate form will still appear as a silhouette in the Nearby screen, and receiving one in a [[trade]] will be considered a Special Trade.<br />
<br />
==Trivia==<br />
* As of [[Generation IX]], five Pokémon have form differences that remain unobtainable. These are:<br />
** ???-type {{p|Arceus}}, which only existed in the code for the [[Generation IV]] games and is unavailable without hacking.<br />
** Eternal Flower {{p|Floette}}, which only exists in the code for the [[Generation VI]] and [[Generation VII]] games, and remains in the data of [[Pokémon HOME]].<br />
** Eternamax {{p|Eternatus}}, which is only seen in the climax of [[Pokémon Sword and Shield]] and when Eternatus uses {{m|Eternabeam}}.<br />
** Rotomi and Rotom Drone, which are NPCs and have never been in the code of any game in a usable form.<br />
** {{p|Revavroom}}'s Starmobile forms, which are only seen being used by the bosses of [[Team Star]].<br />
* Some of the Pokémon with form differences have unique distinctions:<br />
** {{p|Darmanitan}} and {{p|Tauros}} are the only Pokémon whose [[regional form]]s have further form differences.<br />
** {{p|Urshifu}} is the only Pokémon whose [[Gigantamax]] form has form differences.<br />
*** Although {{p|Toxtricity}} and {{p|Alcremie}} have multiple alternate forms, they each have only one Gigantamax form.<br />
** {{p|Koraidon}} and {{p|Miraidon}} have the highest number of forms that are obtainable in some capacity yet unusable in battle, as they each use three forms solely for travel and are obtained in their fourth ‘low-power’ forms, yet can only battle in their ‘high-power’ forms.<br />
*** {{p|Rotom}} has five forms that are unusable in battle (Pokédex, Phone, Bike, Rotomi, Drone), but Rotomi and Rotom Drone are completely unobtainable.<br />

<br />
'''Lance''' (Japanese: '''ワタル''' ''Wataru'') is a {{type|Dragon}} {{pkmn|Trainer}}, a member of the [[Indigo Plateau|Indigo]] [[Elite Four]] in [[Generation I]], [[Generation III]], and [[Generation VII]], and the [[Pokémon Champion]] of the [[Indigo Plateau]] in [[Generation II]] and [[Generation IV]].<br />
<br />
==In the games==<br />
In [[Generation I|Generations I]], {{gen|III}}, and {{gen|VII}}, Lance is the fourth and final member of the [[Kanto]] [[Elite Four]]. He must be defeated before facing {{ga|Blue}}{{sup/1}}{{sup/3|FRLG}}/{{ga|Trace}}{{sup/7|PE}}, the [[Pokémon Champion|Pokémon League Champion]]. In [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], it is revealed he has a [[Key Stone]] and [[Charizardite X]], which he uses in [[rematch]]es against the {{player}} after they become Champion. By the [[Generation II]] and {{gen|IV}} games, he has proceeded to become Pokémon League Champion, due to {{ga|Red}} taking a leave of absence from his position to continue his training at [[Mt. Silver]], and leaving Lance to take Red's place as Champion.<br />
He raises {{type|Dragon}} Pokémon, which are both hard to catch and raise. He prefers the superiority of Dragon-type Pokémon, believing them to be virtually indestructible. At an unknown point in time, Lance, either as an Elite Four member or Champion, had a battle with [[Professor Kukui]], which he apparently won.<br />
<br />
Known as a cool and heroic Trainer, Lance has a large fan-following. Lance also seems to have a liking for capes, as he is often seen buying identical capes at the [[Celadon Department Store]].<br />
<br />
Lance's grandfather is the [[Master (Dragon Tamer clan)|elder]] of a famous clan of Dragon Masters. [[Clair]] is his cousin, and his hometown is [[Blackthorn City]].<br />
<br />
In Generation II and their remakes, the player first encounters Lance at the [[Lake of Rage]] where he watches the player battle the [[Red Gyarados]]. Lance also appears in [[Mahogany Town]] to help the player fight Team Rocket at the [[Team Rocket HQ]]. Lance rewards the player with the {{m|Whirlpool}} [[HM]] for helping him put an end to Team Rocket's sinister plans.<br />
<br />
Lance also appears in {{eng|Pokémon Stadium}} and {{pkmn|Stadium 2}}'s [[Gym Leader Castle]]s. In Stadium, he is the final member of the Elite Four, and in Stadium 2, he is the final Trainer in the Johto Gym Leader Castle, and must be defeated in order to gain access to the Kanto Gym Leader Castle. Notably, Stadium is the only game to date where Lance isn't seen using his {{TP|Lance|Dragonite}}.<br />

Lance debuted in a cameo in {{jo|Marina}}'s fantasy in ''[[The Legend of Thunder!]]''. He later physically debuted in ''[[EP235|Talkin' 'Bout an Evolution]]'', where he was sent to investigate [[Team Rocket]]'s scheme at the [[Lake of Rage]]. He met {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} there, saving the trio from some {{tc|Team Rocket Grunt}}s. Ash wanted to help Lance in his mission, but Lance said it was too dangerous.<br />
[[File:Lance TR Disguise.png|left|200px|thumb|Lance disguised as a {{tc|Team Rocket Grunt}}]]<br />
Lance went on to infiltrate Team Rocket's base, and stole a Grunt uniform to remain undiscovered. He went on to learn that Team Rocket was trying to investigate the properties of a [[Red Gyarados]] so that they could force Pokémon to [[Evolution|evolve]]. Ash and his friends were later captured by [[Professor Sebastian]] and Tyson after they tried to intervene in their plans. Lance remained undetected, joining Team Rocket's convoy and helping them transport the Red Gyarados away from the Lake of Rage.<br />
<br />
In ''[[EP236|Rage of Innocence]]'', Lance helped Ash's group escape and defeated the [[Team Rocket trio]] with his {{TP|Lance|Dragonite}}. Lance was then able to destroy Team Rocket's machine and blow up their laboratory. Lance also battled {{TR|Tyson}} and defeated his two {{p|Fearow}}. Meanwhile, Ash was able to calm the Red Gyarados at first, but it continued to go berserk. Finally, Lance used his Dragonite to {{status|Paralysis|paralyze}} Gyarados and he then {{pkmn2|caught}} it to keep it from destroying [[Mahogany Town]]. Before leaving, Lance promised Ash that he would take care of Gyarados.<br />
<br />
He reappeared in a flashback in ''[[EP251|Beauty is Skin Deep]]''. [[Clair]] informed Ash and his friends that Lance had previously trained for several months at the [[Blackthorn Gym]] in order to perfect his experience with {{t|Dragon}} Pokémon.<br />
<br />
====={{series|Advanced Generation}}=====<br />
In ''[[AG097|Gaining Groudon]]'' and ''[[AG098|The Scuffle of Legends]]'', Lance helped stop the rampage of {{DL|Recurring wild Pokémon in the anime|Kyogre (AG)|Kyogre}} and {{DL|Recurring wild Pokémon in the anime|Groudon AG)|Groudon}}. Lance infiltrated [[Team Magma]]'s submarine and confronted [[Shelly]], who suspected that he wasn't really a {{tc|Team Magma Grunt}}. Shortly after, he freed Ash, who had been captured after Pikachu absorbed the [[Red Orb]] that controls Groudon. Lance's Pokémon were later sent into battle to help try to calm the two feuding Legendary Pokémon.<br />
<br />
====Character====<br />
Lance cares deeply for his Pokémon, and he regards them as friends. He takes his role as a part of the [[Pokémon G-Men]] seriously and maintains his conviction towards keeping the {{pkmn|world}} at peace. Lance often disguises himself to infiltrate evil organizations in order to gain valuable information before leaping into action.<br />
<br />
Lance is largely independent, but still receives assistance from allies like [[Officer Jenny]]. He quickly befriended {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} in ''[[EP236|Rage of Innocence]]'', after realizing that they were also concerned for [[Red Gyarados]]'s safety. He then enlisted their assistance to deal with [[Team Rocket]] and the [[Lake of Rage]] crisis. Lance was surprised to re-encounter Ash and the others in the [[Hoenn]] [[region]], and worked with them to disrupt [[Team Aqua]] and [[Team Magma]]'s plans in ''[[AG097|Gaining Groudon]]'' and ''[[AG098|The Scuffle of Legends]]''.<br />

<br />

===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===<br />
[[File:Lance Adventures.png|250px|thumb|Lance on his {{p|Aerodactyl}}]]<br />
====History====<br />
====={{chap|Yellow}}=====<br />
Lance debuts in [[Vermilion City]] before the start of the Vermilion City Surfing Competition. He took control of the {{p|Dragonair}} that was to be offered as a prize to the winner. He then attacked Vermilion City and destroyed it, saying he was looking for something. When Yellow came after him he tried to capture [[Pika]] to please Agatha and Lorelei but once Pikachu learned {{m|Surf}} he too failed. Before the battle could continue, he mysteriously disappeared.<br />
<br />
He next appeared on [[Cerise Island]] battling [[Blaine]] and Yellow. When Blaine released {{adv|Mewtwo}}, Blaine and Yellow were able to gain the upper hand against Lance's Aerodactyl and his two Dragonair. However, due to Blaine's link with Mewtwo they could only battle together for about three minutes and with time running out Blaine decided to target Lance's Poké Balls so he couldn't call out any other Pokémon and would have to battle with his weakened Pokémon that were already out. He succeeded in destroying the balls only for Blaine to be knocked unconscious due to Mewtwo's time out being too long. Lance then chuckled to himself, revealing that he had called his Pokémon out of their balls before the battle even began.<br />
<br />
[[File:Lance HGSS Adventures.png|left|thumb|210px|Lance during the ninth chapter]]<br />
During Lance's battle with Yellow both of them were equally matched, Lance luring the battle out onto the top of Cerise Island, a volcano. Lance then once again gained the upper hand by having his Gyarados and Dragonair make green, red, and blue bubbles so they could not be detected in sunlight. Just when it seemed when Yellow was about to lose, {{adv|Giovanni}} arrived and helped subdue Lance, using his {{p|Rhyhorn}} to create a sandstorm to make the bubbles visible. But this capturing only proved to be part of his plan, as he needed Giovanni's Badge since it was the last Badge he needed for the Badge Energy Amplifier to summon {{DL|Tower duo (Adventures)|Lugia}}, so he lured Giovanni to the middle of the island so the Earth Badge would be automatically ripped from him and the Amplifier would automatically activate, summoning Lugia. Lance wanted Lugia to help accomplish his goals, but Yellow's Pokémon were able to drive Lugia away once they evolved and Yellow was able to channel their power into Pika's [[Moves not in the Pokémon games|Megavolt]]. This interested Lance, as he wanted to find out who Lugia's real owner was. It wasn't often that he lost control of dragon-like Pokémon.<br />
<br />
====={{chap|Gold, Silver & Crystal}}=====<br />
Lance disappeared for a while, investigating Lugia and working behind the scenes. He gave {{adv|Silver}} advice on how to defeat Team Rocket in [[Johto]], as well as a Pupitar (which Silver promptly returned, now evolved as a Tyranitar, after awakening from his comatose state following the incident at the [[Lake of Rage]]). Working through Silver, Lance tried to help defeat the [[Masked Man]]. After this was fulfilled, Lance is briefly seen flying on his {{p|Aerodactyl}} watching the horizon during part of {{adv|Professor Oak}}'s speech on the radio.<br />
<br />
====={{chap|HeartGold & SoulSilver}}=====<br />
Lance calls Professor Oak to tell him about the newly revived Team Rocket's plan to obtain the [[Mythical Pokémon]], {{p|Arceus}}. He requests that a [[Pokédex holder]] be sent to meet him at the [[Pokéathlon Dome]], so Professor Oak sends {{adv|Gold}}, as he was out of available people. Although he arrives there, Lance never shows up, but his Dragonite attacks the area in an injured frenzy. Gold manages to defeat Dragonite and sets off to find out what happened to its Trainer.<br />
<br />
After chasing Arceus to the [[Ruins of Alph]], Gold encounters an injured Lance there. Lance reveals that he was ambushed by [[Petrel|someone]] earlier and wasn't able to meet with him. When Gold tries to calm the rampaging Alpha Pokémon, Lance tells him that Arceus is angry at humanity and will only be stopped by someone who can open their heart to it. Because of this, Lance states that Gold will not be able to connect with Arceus until he is able to connect with his [[Togebo|own Pokémon]]. Annoyed, Gold sets off to face Arceus anyway and has [[Bugsy]] take care of Lance in the meantime. Before [[Togebo]] leaves, Lance hands it a [[Shiny Stone]], just in case. He also reveals that Gold hadn't connected with his Togebo.<br />
<br />
As Gold continues to battle Arceus, Lance sets off to find someone else who can help with the battle. Later, he returns with Giovanni and [[Pryce]] to combat the {{adv|Creation trio|Dialga, Palkia, and Giratina}} which {{adv|Arceus}} had created on the [[Sinjoh Ruins|Mystri Stage]]. There, Lance faces Palkia while Giovanni battles Giratina, and Pryce battles Dialga. With his Dragonite's ability to redirect its Hyper Beam, Palkia's ability to manipulate space with {{m|Spacial Rend}} is rendered useless as all redirected attacks are sent back to its original target.<br />
<br />
It is later revealed that when Lance went to go find help, he arrived at the [[Ilex Forest]], where he heard the voice of Pryce, who was trapped in the crack in time. Upon arriving, he found Giovanni, who was attacking Pryce in a fit of rage. He asks the two men to put aside their differences and help him stop the destruction of Johto. After the battle had ended, Gold asks how Lance was defeated by a coward like Petrel. Lance reveals that Petrel defeated him by disguising himself as {{adv|Yellow}}, the person with the same powers and birthplace as him. At the end of the chapter, Giovanni entrusts the training of Silver to Lance and Pryce, his two former teachers, so that he can one day face his son.<br />
<br />
====Character====<br />
Lance is primarily a villain. As the leader of the Elite Four, he wishes to exterminate the human race, save for a few people who he deems to be kind enough to Pokémon. Apparently also from [[Viridian Forest]], Lance was blessed with the powers of the Viridian Forest, just like {{adv|Yellow}} was. Lance has the power to telepathically communicate with Pokémon, as well as heal their wounds. Lance also has the ability to control or brainwash any Dragon-type Pokémon, as well as most Pokémon similar to Dragons (such as Aerodactyl or Tyranitar).<br />

Yellow finds out that Lance was responsible for this and battles his Dragonair and loses. Lance used these Dragonair to shield himself from the lava on Cerise Island by using bubbles. Yellow is once again in his clutches as they, along with Gyarados were responsible for the shaking of the mountain. The two Dragonair have four unique abilities: the first is to cross the seas and skies, the second is changing the direction of energy blasts, the third is controlling the weather (which is used in Lance's first fight against Yellow), and the fourth is combining their attacks. Lance usually uses only the first two when fighting opponents, the third against stronger ones, and all four only a few times.<br />

While Red did well on the first two, Lance managed to get on the space shuttle while Red and the gang was on.

Lance reappeared in ''[[PM038|The Final Battle!!]]'' where he destroyed a village. The villagers ask Red and his Pokémon to defeat Lance. During the match, Clefairy was still no match for his Dragonite, even the weapons that he threw at it. However, when Lance was about to get beaten, Dragonite reveals its story about how he met Lance. However, the story is later found out to be a lie, and Lance ran off with his Dragonite, with Red and his Pokémon chasing him from behind.<br />

Clefairy tied {{OBP|Red's Pikachu|Pocket Monsters}} to a fishing line and threw him to the pool of water to find Gyarados.

[[File:Lance Team Magma.png|200px|thumb|Lance disguised as a Team Magma Grunt]]<br />
* Lance has two Pokémon with moves they [[Game move errors|cannot normally learn]]: the {{p|Dragonite}} that knows {{m|Barrier}} that he uses in {{game3|Red and Green|Red, Green|s}}, and {{game3|Red and Blue|Blue|s}}, as well as the {{p|Aerodactyl}} that knows {{m|Rock Slide}} that he uses in {{3v2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}.<br />
** In 2016, a Dragonite with Barrier was released to participants of the "Kanto Classic" Wi-Fi tournament to commemorate this.<br />
* Starting in {{game|Yellow}}, Lance has red hair, while a card depicting him in {{OBP|Monopoly: Pokémon Edition|1999}}, which was made prior to Yellow, shows artwork of him with purple hair.<br />
* In the {{pkmn|anime}}, Lance has disguised himself as a member of a [[villainous teams|villainous team]] twice: as a {{tc|Team Rocket Grunt}} in ''[[EP235|Talkin' Bout an Evolution]]'' and later as a {{tc|Team Magma Grunt}} in ''[[AG097|Gaining Groudon]]''.<br />
* Lance is the only Trainer the {{player}} can battle with in a Double Battle ([[Team Rocket HQ]]), against in a Double Battle ([[Dragon's Den]]), and against in a Single Battle (as {{pkmn|Champion}}).<br />
* In the {{pkmn|manga}}, Lance and the [[Elite Four]]'s motivations are similar to the plans of [[N]] and [[Team Plasma]]. Both pretend to summon a Legendary Pokémon ({{p|Lugia}} or {{p|Reshiram}} and {{p|Zekrom}} respectively) in order to create an utopia for Pokémon.<br />
* Lance is the only character that appears in the [[Pokémon World Tournament]] who is or used to be an Elite Four member.<br />

'''Lance''' (Japanese: '''ワタル''' ''Wataru'') is a {{type|Dragon}} {{pkmn|Trainer}}, a member of the [[Indigo Plateau|Indigo]] [[Elite Four]] in [[Generation I]], [[Generation III]], and [[Generation VII]], and the [[Pokémon Champion]] of the [[Indigo Plateau]] in [[Generation II]] and [[Generation IV]].<br />
<br />
==In the games==<br />
In [[Generation I|Generations I]], {{gen|III}}, and {{gen|VII}}, Lance is the fourth and final member of the [[Kanto]] [[Elite Four]]. He must be defeated before facing {{ga|Blue}}{{sup/1}}{{sup/3|FRLG}}/{{ga|Trace}}{{sup/7|PE}}, the [[Pokémon Champion|Pokémon League Champion]]. In [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], it is revealed he has a [[Key Stone]] and [[Charizardite X]], which he uses in [[rematch]]es against the {{player}} after they become Champion. By the [[Generation II]] and {{gen|IV}} games, he has proceeded to become Pokémon League Champion, due to {{ga|Red}} taking a leave of absence from his position to continue his training at [[Mt. Silver]], and leaving Lance to take Red's place as Champion.<br />
He raises {{type|Dragon}} Pokémon, which are both hard to catch and raise. He prefers the superiority of Dragon-type Pokémon, believing them to be virtually indestructible. At an unknown point in time, Lance, either as an Elite Four member or Champion, had a battle with [[Professor Kukui]], which he apparently won.<br />
<br />
Known as a cool and heroic Trainer, Lance has a large fan-following. Lance also seems to have a liking for capes, as he is often seen buying identical capes at the [[Celadon Department Store]].<br />
<br />
Lance's grandfather is the [[Master (Dragon Tamer clan)|elder]] of a famous clan of Dragon Masters. [[Clair]] is his cousin, and his hometown is [[Blackthorn City]].<br />
<br />
In Generation II and their remakes, the player first encounters Lance at the [[Lake of Rage]] where he watches the player battle the [[Red Gyarados]]. Lance also appears in [[Mahogany Town]] to help the player fight Team Rocket at the [[Team Rocket HQ]]. Lance rewards the player with the {{m|Whirlpool}} [[HM]] for helping him put an end to Team Rocket's sinister plans.<br />
<br />
Lance also appears in {{eng|Pokémon Stadium}} and {{pkmn|Stadium 2}}'s [[Gym Leader Castle]]s. In Stadium, he is the final member of the Elite Four, and in Stadium 2, he is the final Trainer in the Johto Gym Leader Castle, and must be defeated in order to gain access to the Kanto Gym Leader Castle. Notably, Stadium is the only game to date where Lance isn't seen using his {{TP|Lance|Dragonite}}.<br />

They’re hard to catch and raise, but their powers are superior! They’re virtually indestructible! Well, are you ready to lose? Your <sc>League</sc> challenge ends with me, <player>!"''<br />
<br />
* Being defeated<br />
:''"That’s it! I hate to admit it, but you are a <sc>Pokémon</sc> master!"''<br />
<br />
* After being defeated<br />
:''"I still can’t believe my dragons lost to you, <player>! You’re now the <sc>Pokémon League</sc> champion! …Or, you would have been, but you have one more challenge ahead. You have to face another trainer! His name is… <[[rival]]>! He beat the <sc>Elite Four</sc> before you. He is the real <sc>Pokémon League</sc> champion!"''<br />

I'm <sc>Lance</sc>, a trainer like you. I heard some rumors, so I came to investigate… I saw the way you battled earlier, <player>. I can tell that you're a trainer with considerable skill. If you don't mind, could you help me investigate?"''<br />
::'''Yes''': ''"Excellent! It seems that the <sc>Lake</sc>'s <sc>Magikarp</sc> are being forced to evolve. A mysterious radio broadcast coming from <sc>{{to|Mahogany}}</sc> is the cause. I'll be waiting for you, <player>.<br />

:''"It takes two passwords to get into the [[Petrel|boss]]'s quarters. Those passwords are known only to a few <sc>Rockets</sc>. That <sc>Rocket</sc> there very graciously told me so. <Player>, let's go get the passwords."''<br />
<br />
*After entering the generator room<br />
:''"Hey! Don't be so selfish. Spread the fun around."''<br />
<br />
*After defeating Ariana<br />
:''"That did it. We defeated all the <sc>Rockets</sc> here. But I'm concerned about the {{ga|Silver|young guy}} I battled in the process… Sorry, <player>. I saw how well you were doing, so I just hung back. Now all there is left to do is to turn off that odd radio signal. It's this machine that's causing all the problems. I don't see a switch on it… We have no choice. We have to make all the <sc>{{p|Electrode}}</sc> faint. That should stop this machine from transmitting that strange signal. It's no fault of the <sc>Pokémon</sc>, so it makes me feel guilty. <Player>, let's split the job."''<br />

===In the main series===<br />
[[File:Lance anime.png|250px|thumb|Lance in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]<br />
====History====<br />
=====[[Original series]]=====<br />
Lance is a {{pkmn|Master}} {{pkmn|Trainer}} and the {{pkmn|Champion}} of the Indigo [[Elite Four]]. He is also a member of [[Pokémon G-Men]] detective organization.<br />
<br />
Lance debuted in a cameo in {{jo|Marina}}'s fantasy in ''[[The Legend of Thunder!]]''. He later physically debuted in ''[[EP235|Talkin' 'Bout an Evolution]]'', where he was sent to investigate [[Team Rocket]]'s scheme at the [[Lake of Rage]]. He met {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} there, saving the trio from some {{tc|Team Rocket Grunt}}s. Ash wanted to help Lance in his mission, but Lance said it was too dangerous.<br />
[[File:Lance TR Disguise.png|left|200px|thumb|Lance disguised as a {{tc|Team Rocket Grunt}}]]<br />
Lance went on to infiltrate Team Rocket's base, and stole a Grunt uniform to remain undiscovered. He went on to learn that Team Rocket was trying to investigate the properties of a [[Red Gyarados]] so that they could force Pokémon to [[Evolution|evolve]]. Ash and his friends were later captured by [[Professor Sebastian]] and Tyson after they tried to intervene in their plans. Lance remained undetected, joining Team Rocket's convoy and helping them transport the Red Gyarados away from the Lake of Rage.<br />
<br />
In ''[[EP236|Rage of Innocence]]'', Lance helped Ash's group escape and defeated the [[Team Rocket trio]] with his {{TP|Lance|Dragonite}}. Lance was then able to destroy Team Rocket's machine and blow up their laboratory. Lance also battled {{TR|Tyson}} and defeated his two {{p|Fearow}}. Meanwhile, Ash was able to calm the Red Gyarados at first, but it continued to go berserk. Finally, Lance used his Dragonite to {{status|Paralysis|paralyze}} Gyarados and he then {{pkmn2|caught}} it to keep it from destroying [[Mahogany Town]]. Before leaving, Lance promised Ash that he would take care of Gyarados.<br />
<br />
He reappeared in a flashback in ''[[EP251|Beauty is Skin Deep]]''. [[Clair]] informed Ash and his friends that Lance had previously trained for several months at the [[Blackthorn Gym]] in order to perfect his experience with {{t|Dragon}} Pokémon.<br />
<br />
====={{series|Advanced Generation}}=====<br />
In ''[[AG097|Gaining Groudon]]'' and ''[[AG098|The Scuffle of Legends]]'', Lance helped stop the rampage of {{DL|Recurring wild Pokémon in the anime|Kyogre (AG)|Kyogre}} and {{DL|Recurring wild Pokémon in the anime|Groudon AG)|Groudon}}. Lance infiltrated [[Team Magma]]'s submarine and confronted [[Shelly]], who suspected that he wasn't really a {{tc|Team Magma Grunt}}. Shortly after, he freed Ash, who had been captured after Pikachu absorbed the [[Red Orb]] that controls Groudon. Lance's Pokémon were later sent into battle to help try to calm the two feuding Legendary Pokémon.<br />
<br />
====Character====<br />
Lance cares deeply for his Pokémon, and he regards them as friends. He takes his role as a part of the [[Pokémon G-Men]] seriously and maintains his conviction towards keeping the {{pkmn|world}} at peace. Lance often disguises himself to infiltrate evil organizations in order to gain valuable information before leaping into action.<br />
<br />
Lance is largely independent, but still receives assistance from allies like [[Officer Jenny]]. He quickly befriended {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} in ''[[EP236|Rage of Innocence]]'', after realizing that they were also concerned for [[Red Gyarados]]'s safety. He then enlisted their assistance to deal with [[Team Rocket]] and the [[Lake of Rage]] crisis. Lance was surprised to re-encounter Ash and the others in the [[Hoenn]] [[region]], and worked with them to disrupt [[Team Aqua]] and [[Team Magma]]'s plans in ''[[AG097|Gaining Groudon]]'' and ''[[AG098|The Scuffle of Legends]]''.<br />

===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===<br />
[[File:Lance Adventures.png|250px|thumb|Lance on his {{p|Aerodactyl}}]]<br />
====History====<br />
====={{chap|Yellow}}=====<br />
Lance debuts in [[Vermilion City]] before the start of the Vermilion City Surfing Competition. He took control of the {{p|Dragonair}} that was to be offered as a prize to the winner. He then attacked Vermilion City and destroyed it, saying he was looking for something. When Yellow came after him he tried to capture [[Pika]] to please Agatha and Lorelei but once Pikachu learned {{m|Surf}} he too failed. Before the battle could continue, he mysteriously disappeared.<br />
<br />
He next appeared on [[Cerise Island]] battling [[Blaine]] and Yellow. When Blaine released {{adv|Mewtwo}}, Blaine and Yellow were able to gain the upper hand against Lance's Aerodactyl and his two Dragonair. However, due to Blaine's link with Mewtwo they could only battle together for about three minutes and with time running out Blaine decided to target Lance's Poké Balls so he couldn't call out any other Pokémon and would have to battle with his weakened Pokémon that were already out. He succeeded in destroying the balls only for Blaine to be knocked unconscious due to Mewtwo's time out being too long. Lance then chuckled to himself, revealing that he had called his Pokémon out of their balls before the battle even began.<br />
<br />
[[File:Lance HGSS Adventures.png|left|thumb|210px|Lance during the ninth chapter]]<br />
During Lance's battle with Yellow both of them were equally matched, Lance luring the battle out onto the top of Cerise Island, a volcano. Lance then once again gained the upper hand by having his Gyarados and Dragonair make green, red, and blue bubbles so they could not be detected in sunlight. Just when it seemed when Yellow was about to lose, {{adv|Giovanni}} arrived and helped subdue Lance, using his {{p|Rhyhorn}} to create a sandstorm to make the bubbles visible. But this capturing only proved to be part of his plan, as he needed Giovanni's Badge since it was the last Badge he needed for the Badge Energy Amplifier to summon {{DL|Tower duo (Adventures)|Lugia}}, so he lured Giovanni to the middle of the island so the Earth Badge would be automatically ripped from him and the Amplifier would automatically activate, summoning Lugia. Lance wanted Lugia to help accomplish his goals, but Yellow's Pokémon were able to drive Lugia away once they evolved and Yellow was able to channel their power into Pika's [[Moves not in the Pokémon games|Megavolt]]. This interested Lance, as he wanted to find out who Lugia's real owner was. It wasn't often that he lost control of dragon-like Pokémon.<br />
<br />
====={{chap|Gold, Silver & Crystal}}=====<br />
Lance disappeared for a while, investigating Lugia and working behind the scenes. He gave {{adv|Silver}} advice on how to defeat Team Rocket in [[Johto]], as well as a Pupitar (which Silver promptly returned, now evolved as a Tyranitar, after awakening from his comatose state following the incident at the [[Lake of Rage]]). Working through Silver, Lance tried to help defeat the [[Masked Man]]. After this was fulfilled, Lance is briefly seen flying on his {{p|Aerodactyl}} watching the horizon during part of {{adv|Professor Oak}}'s speech on the radio.<br />
<br />
====={{chap|HeartGold & SoulSilver}}=====<br />
Lance calls Professor Oak to tell him about the newly revived Team Rocket's plan to obtain the [[Mythical Pokémon]], {{p|Arceus}}. He requests that a [[Pokédex holder]] be sent to meet him at the [[Pokéathlon Dome]], so Professor Oak sends {{adv|Gold}}, as he was out of available people. Although he arrives there, Lance never shows up, but his Dragonite attacks the area in an injured frenzy. Gold manages to defeat Dragonite and sets off to find out what happened to its Trainer.<br />
<br />
After chasing Arceus to the [[Ruins of Alph]], Gold encounters an injured Lance there. Lance reveals that he was ambushed by [[Petrel|someone]] earlier and wasn't able to meet with him. When Gold tries to calm the rampaging Alpha Pokémon, Lance tells him that Arceus is angry at humanity and will only be stopped by someone who can open their heart to it. Because of this, Lance states that Gold will not be able to connect with Arceus until he is able to connect with his [[Togebo|own Pokémon]]. Annoyed, Gold sets off to face Arceus anyway and has [[Bugsy]] take care of Lance in the meantime. Before [[Togebo]] leaves, Lance hands it a [[Shiny Stone]], just in case. He also reveals that Gold hadn't connected with his Togebo.<br />
<br />
As Gold continues to battle Arceus, Lance sets off to find someone else who can help with the battle. Later, he returns with Giovanni and [[Pryce]] to combat the {{adv|Creation trio|Dialga, Palkia, and Giratina}} which {{adv|Arceus}} had created on the [[Sinjoh Ruins|Mystri Stage]]. There, Lance faces Palkia while Giovanni battles Giratina, and Pryce battles Dialga. With his Dragonite's ability to redirect its Hyper Beam, Palkia's ability to manipulate space with {{m|Spacial Rend}} is rendered useless as all redirected attacks are sent back to its original target.<br />
<br />
It is later revealed that when Lance went to go find help, he arrived at the [[Ilex Forest]], where he heard the voice of Pryce, who was trapped in the crack in time. Upon arriving, he found Giovanni, who was attacking Pryce in a fit of rage. He asks the two men to put aside their differences and help him stop the destruction of Johto. After the battle had ended, Gold asks how Lance was defeated by a coward like Petrel. Lance reveals that Petrel defeated him by disguising himself as {{adv|Yellow}}, the person with the same powers and birthplace as him. At the end of the chapter, Giovanni entrusts the training of Silver to Lance and Pryce, his two former teachers, so that he can one day face his son.<br />
<br />
====Character====<br />
Lance is primarily a villain. As the leader of the Elite Four, he wishes to exterminate the human race, save for a few people who he deems to be kind enough to Pokémon. Apparently also from [[Viridian Forest]], Lance was blessed with the powers of the Viridian Forest, just like {{adv|Yellow}} was. Lance has the power to telepathically communicate with Pokémon, as well as heal their wounds. Lance also has the ability to control or brainwash any Dragon-type Pokémon, as well as most Pokémon similar to Dragons (such as Aerodactyl or Tyranitar).<br />

During the contest, Lance brainwashes the Dragonair and it starts launching Whirlpools at the surfers, bringing them down to the sea. Yellow finds out that Lance was responsible for this and battles his Dragonair and loses. Lance used these Dragonair to shield himself from the lava on Cerise Island by using bubbles. Yellow is once again in his clutches as they, along with Gyarados were responsible for the shaking of the mountain. The two Dragonair have four unique abilities: the first is to cross the seas and skies, the second is changing the direction of energy blasts, the third is controlling the weather (which is used in Lance's first fight against Yellow), and the fourth is combining their attacks. Lance usually uses only the first two when fighting opponents, the third against stronger ones, and all four only a few times.<br />

While Red did well on the first two, Lance managed to get on the space shuttle while Red and the gang was on.

Lance reappeared in ''[[PM038|The Final Battle!!]]'' where he destroyed a village. The villagers ask Red and his Pokémon to defeat Lance. During the match, Clefairy was still no match for his Dragonite, even the weapons that he threw at it. However, when Lance was about to get beaten, Dragonite reveals its story about how he met Lance. However, the story is later found out to be a lie, and Lance ran off with his Dragonite, with Red and his Pokémon chasing him from behind.<br />

[[File:Lance Team Magma.png|200px|thumb|Lance disguised as a Team Magma Grunt]]<br />
* Lance has two Pokémon with moves they [[Game move errors|cannot normally learn]]: the {{p|Dragonite}} that knows {{m|Barrier}} that he uses in {{game3|Red and Green|Red, Green|s}}, and {{game3|Red and Blue|Blue|s}}, as well as the {{p|Aerodactyl}} that knows {{m|Rock Slide}} that he uses in {{3v2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}.<br />
** In 2016, a Dragonite with Barrier was released to participants of the "Kanto Classic" Wi-Fi tournament to commemorate this.<br />
* Starting in {{game|Yellow}}, Lance has red hair, while a card depicting him in {{OBP|Monopoly: Pokémon Edition|1999}}, which was made prior to Yellow, shows artwork of him with purple hair.<br />
* In the {{pkmn|anime}}, Lance has disguised himself as a member of a [[villainous teams|villainous team]] twice: as a {{tc|Team Rocket Grunt}} in ''[[EP235|Talkin' Bout an Evolution]]'' and later as a {{tc|Team Magma Grunt}} in ''[[AG097|Gaining Groudon]]''.<br />
* Lance is the only Trainer the {{player}} can battle with in a Double Battle ([[Team Rocket HQ]]), against in a Double Battle ([[Dragon's Den]]), and against in a Single Battle (as {{pkmn|Champion}}).<br />
* In the {{pkmn|manga}}, Lance and the [[Elite Four]]'s motivations are similar to the plans of [[N]] and [[Team Plasma]]. Both pretend to summon a Legendary Pokémon ({{p|Lugia}} or {{p|Reshiram}} and {{p|Zekrom}} respectively) in order to create an utopia for Pokémon.<br />
* Lance is the only character that appears in the [[Pokémon World Tournament]] who is or used to be an Elite Four member.<br />
** Lance is also the only Champion in the Pokémon World Tournament who can be battled [[Challenge the Champion Lance!|outside]] the [[Champions Tournament]].<br />
* Lance appears as an opponent in [[Pokémon Puzzle Challenge]]. He uses a {{p|Dragonite}} to battle.<br />

In Gen. III, only Charizard, Venusaur and Blastoise could learn [[Blast Burn]], [[Frenzy Plant]] and [[Hydro Cannon]], respectively. The Johto starters could learn it too, but only by being traded from XD (just like [[Lugia]] and [[Psycho Boost]]). Should the 3 HB variations be included in this list, since other "former" signature moves are also included?--[[User:Darthrai|Darthrai]] 02:12, 28 September 2008 (UTC)<br />

==Skarmory?==<br />
Should Skarmory with Steel Wing be included here? After all, it is the only Pokemon that can learn it naturally.<br />

== About evolved forms ==<br />
<br />
Should stone-induced evolved forms be listed? {{p|Pikachu}} and {{p|Raichu}} appear in the article. However, the species that actually learns {{m|Volt Tackle}} is {{p|Pichu}} (making the [[Pokémon Battle Revolution#Colosseums|Battle Revolution Pikachu]] a [[Signature move#Trivia|trivia section]] material). If Raichu can appear in the list, then {{p|Togekiss}} and {{p|Mismagius}} should, too. --[[User:Johans|Johans]] 20:36, 22 September 2007 (UTC)<br />
:No, I think that only the Pokémon that learns the move should be listed. So Pichu should be listed, but it's evolutions shouldn't. Only if the evolution learns the move then they an be listed. So both Cubone and Marowak learn Bonemerang, therefore both should be listed. <small>[[User:Tesh|<span style="color:#FF594F;">'''TESH'''</span>]]</small><small>[[User Talk:Tesh|<span style="color:#5FA7C6;">'''TALK'''</span>]]</small> 15:57, 28 October 2007 (UTC)<br />
<br />
==Splash?==<br />
<br />
Would [[Splash (move)|Splash]] be eligible for inclusion here? A bunch of Pokémon can learn the move nowadays, but back in Generation I it was very much [[Magikarp (Pokémon)|Magikarp]]'s trademark. A similar case is already included on the list (Petal Dance, which was exclusive to the Oddish line in Generation I). [[User:Bikini Miltank|Bikini Miltank]] 08:48, 20 November 2007 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:You're right, according to the current status of the article. But I think that kind of moves shouldn't appear in the list. IMO, in any case, [[Generation III]] stuff is the only past generation that should be mentioned, as it's compatible with [[Generation IV]], but I still don't like the idea.<br />
:I take it this all started with the ExtremeSpeed Dratini from the trivia section, right? Well, that Dratini is obsolete, too. I propose we get rid of ExtremeSpeed Dratini and there won't be need for the ExtremeSpeed Arcanine and the other obsolete groups. --[[User:Johans|Johans]] 16:18, 20 November 2007 (UTC)<br />
<br />
NO! Lol, we should split this article into each Generation, with a trivia section for Pokémon that do not learn a move naturally. Like Dratini in GenII. I think this would be better. <big><sub>[[User:Tesh|<span style="color:#F05030;">'''TESH'''</span>]]</sub><sub>[[User Talk:Tesh|<span style="color:#5C8CFA;">'''TALK'''</span>]]</sub> <sub>[[User:Tesh/Other|<span style="color:#EEC226;">'''FUN'''</span>]]</sub></big> 16:20, 20 November 2007 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:Yeah... one of the things I was going to suggest was listing the likes of Splash, ExtremeSpeed and so on in a seperate table, for moves that were once exclusive to a single line, but aren't anymore. I think these moves are certainly worth mentioning somewhere in the article, as they might still be relevant to someone who's playing any of the older games.

This article NEEDS some cleanup... some signature moves don't make sense and some are in a lot of pokemon, so they should be removed. I think if a pokemon prior to Gen IV now learns a GEN IV move, it shouldn't be mentioned, 'cause it's obvious that another pokemon will learn the same move (for example Relicanth that learns [[Head Smash (move)|Cranidos' signature]]. in that case Relicanth should be removed).

===Moves===<br />
I'll add Splash becoz only Magikarp had Splash in Gen I with an asterix sign, while Meteor Mash also becoz there are some moves listed here that have more than one move per pokémon, usally two. And who said that only one family needs a signature move and when it has two it's not. I've never seen any official guide saying that. And Icicle Spear, Smelligsalt and Vacuum Wave I'll add becoz Octazooka is here which can also be bred. These moves are VERY free to undo if u wish.

== Stop Removing Relicanth, Cranidos, Rampardos, and Mothim ==<br />

I quote, from the top of the page: "Signature moves are moves that can only be learned by a single Pokémon '''or a very small select group of Pokémon by level-up''' (with the exception of Pikachu's Volt Tackle), usually in the same evolutionary line."<br />

==This page is in need of SERIOUS clean-up.==<br />
<br />
Some moves are counted as signature when they're limited to one Pokémon. Some are counted when they're limited to two Pokémon. Some three Pokémon. Where's the limit? I think two families should be the most.(Branched families are fine.) I'd prefer only one family, but I'll accept anything, just agree on something.<br />
<br />
Some moves are counted as "signature" if they're limited to one(or a few) Pokémon NATURALLY...other moves are counted if they're limited OVERALL. I think that TMs/HMs/tutors/"bonus" moves should not matter, Waterfall is still Goldeen and Seaking's signature move. I'd accept the other way too, but it needs to be CONSISTENT.<br />
<br />
Not to mention a few of the asterisks are wrong...and some without asterisks could use some. Or it could be split to generations, but I think asterisks work just fine.<br />
<br />
The Pikachu that knows Volt Tackle doesn't need to be in the one-off section. Yes, it's only Pichu's signature move...but Pikachus can normally learn it by evolving from Pichu! Pikachu shouldn't be in the table, that is correct, but it doesn't need to be in the one-off either. That should be for examples that COULD NOT happen otherwise, like the Dratini with ExtremeSpeed.[[User:Flint A|Flint A]] 20:09, 20 June 2009 (UTC)<br />
:My opinion is that if a move can be learned by any or all of the Pokémon of '''one''' family naturally or by TM, it is a signature move. If a move is shared with an other family or it is a TM that can be used or a move tutor move that can be taught on more than the family in question, it is not a signature move. Event Pokémon are obviously excluded. <font color="#3fff00">'''UltimateSephiroth'''</font> <sup>([[User:UltimateSephiroth|<font color="#3f7f00">about me</font>]] · [[User talk:UltimateSephiroth|<font color="#3f7f00">chat</font>]] · [[Special:Contributions/UltimateSephiroth|edits]])</sup> 22:48, 20 June 2009 (UTC)<br />
::That sounds fine to me, a more "exclusive" definition of signature move. Although if something was a signature move at one point, I'd expect it there with an asterisk.

==GrassWhistle==<br />
In GenerationIII, Roselia was the only one who could learn GrassWhistle by leveling up(to lv 29). There are many other pokemon that can learn it now in Generation IV, but it used to be a move unique only to Roselia(by level up). --[[User:PKFL 531|PKFL 531]] 01:38, 30 October 2009 (UTC)<br />
<br />
==Removing moves==<br />
<br />
Before I edit the actual page, I want to see if everyone agrees to this. <br />
<br />
I was thinking of removing the following moves since they're "Signature" titles are questionable:<br />
<br />
-----------------------<br />
-{{m|Petal Dance}}<br />
<br />
-{{m|Crush Claw}}<br />
<br />
-{{m|Splash}}<br />
<br />
-{{m|Super Fang}}<br />
<br />
-{{m|Beat Up}}<br />
<br />
-{{m|Pain Split}}<br />
<br />
-{{m|FeatherDance}} <br />
<br />
-{{m|Assist}}<br />
<br />
-{{m|ExtremeSpeed}}<br />
<br />
-{{m|Weather Ball}}<br />
<br />
-{{m|Extrasensory}}<br />
<br />
-{{m|Megahorn}}<br />
<br />
-{{m|Waterfall}}<br />
<br />
-{{m|Leaf Blade}}<br />
--------------------------<br />
<br />
Yes yes, I know that's quite a lot of moves to pick out. But let's be honest, These moves are a little too common to be "Signature" thanks to other Pokémon showing up or Pokémon learning said moves via Breeding, Level up, Move tutor, TM/HM etc.<br />
<br />
If you don't agree with this, I'll ignore this. Or if you want only a specific move or two gone, I'll only get rid of those instead.<small>- ''unsigned comment from {{u|Ninterror}} ([[User talk:Ninterror|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Ninterror|contribs]]) ''</small><br />

<br />
Many of those moves are already noted as being signature moves prior to a Generation, as the person above said. However, Beat Up, Crush Claw, Pain Split, Feather Dance, Assist and Extrasensory, are different. They're signature moves in that only a select few Pokémon learn ''by level up'', but can be taught in other ways. In the "Other signature move examples" section, such things are noted, where a move is learned by more than one Pokémon but only by one by level up. I say we move the mentioned moves to a whole new section for "Level Up Signature Moves", where we list the signature moves if we go by moves learned through level and not by tutor or TM or breeding.

== Former Signature moves! ==<br />

<br />
== Overhaul ==<br />
<br />
Alright, I went for it and changed the main body to only refer to Generation IV signature moves. The list of former signature moves near the bottom might be better as some sort of table, but I'm not good at making tables and it wouldn't be like just copying the first table, as we'd need "unsignature" dates. Also, that list should not be considered comprehensive; it's just the ones that were there already plus the ones from the old list. There might be some missing.<br />
<br />
The only controversial change I think is that I specifically limited signature moves to one evolutionary family only, but I seem to see quite a bit of support for that on the talk page and I feel it's the only sensible decision myself.<br />

<br />
== "prior to gen ..." signature moves ==<br />
<br />
If, according to te article, Signature moves are by definition only learned by either a single Pokémon or a small group of Pokémon, then a lot of the moves listed that say they were signature moves prior to a certain generation were still signature moves, (in cases such as extemespeed, for at least until the generation after) as the definition in no way implies that the pokémon that can learn it have to be related by evolution it just states either that the move can be learned only as a level up move and even then, only by a small number of Pokémon or that the move can only be learned by level up by a small number of pokémon (in which case almost all, if not all are still signature moves). because even though the way the definition is phrased it can be rephrased either way it most certainly can't be rephrased both ways because they are different from meanings from eachother but are synonyms to different definitions of the phrase that defines signature moves. [[User:Juarmo|Juarmo]] 05:07, 11 October 2010 (UTC)<br />
<br />
==Ultimate Starter Type Moves==<br />
techinically, the elemental hyper beams would be no less signature moves of the gen 1 starter evolutions in gen 3 than deoxys and its psycho boost (as purified shadow Lugia knew it). In fact, probably less of one as you catch the Lugia but you recieve the XD Jhoto starters from an event (albeit an in game one but still) also if Oddish and Glooms signature that ceased to be a signature by Gen 2 is on the list shouldn't arcanine and his extremespeed be on the list too. if i remember correctly dragon's den dratini didn't count towards extremespeed not still being arcanine's signature move in gen 2 so why should the XD Jhoto starters they're both in game events.

== Another idea ==<br />
<br />
I had an idea for a new column. I would like to mention what kind of signature move they are. <br />
*Exclusive means: Only available to the poke himself, or the evolutionary line of that poke.<br />
*Limited means: A few other pokes can learn it as well by leveling up or by breeding.<br />
*LU exclusive means: The move is exclusive to a certain poke line by leveling up, but several other pokes can learn it by breading or tutoring.<br />
*Common means: The move is now available to a plenty of pokes. Only mentioned if the move used to be exclusive.<br />
*N/A means: it didn't exist that gen.<br />

<br />
== My definition of 'Signature Move' ==<br />
<br />
I say the definition should be "A move that a Pokémon is best known for." As a result, this means that a move that is common can be the signature move of another Pokémon (for example, Rollout can be learned by several different kinds of Pokémon, but Geodude's evolutionary family may have it as their signature move, because Graveler is said to use it often down mountains in Firered's description of it). Another example is Psycho Cut - Gallade would most likely have the attack as its signature move had this description of signature move been used. --[[User:Psyblade|Psyblade]] 18:43, 27 January 2011 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:I think it's a very good point, however, Pokédex entries sometimes state misleading facts, such as Dusclops learning {{m|Hypnosis}}, which it actually can't. So, although a good definition of "signature move", I don't think it's good enough to point Pokédex entries in the article.

<br />
== Current definition is SERIOUSLY flawed! ==<br />
<br />
The current definition of signature move here is '''seriously''' flawed. The definition should be the move the Pokémon is most known for, not any random move that is exclusive to it. While at times moves that a Pokémon is most known for may also be exclusive to it (such as Smeargle's Sketch), that is not always the case. For example, even though Charizard was the only Pokémon able to learn Blast Burn prior to XD, Charizard is never shown using it in any Pokémon media; usually Charizard is shown using Flamethrower, and in the anime, Seismic Toss. Furthermore, Charizard is a Gen I Pokémon, and it is absurd to say that a Gen III move is its signature move, considering Charizard predates Gen III.<br />
<br />
I really think the definition should be corrected here. [[User:Andros 1337|Andros 1337]] 00:05, 10 August 2011 (UTC)<br />
:I don't think it's flawed at all. A signature move exclusive to that Pokémon. Meaning that the move can only be learned by that Pokémon. While Rollout is well know for a Miltank for example that doesn't make it a signature move. Sketch is a signature move because only one Pokémon can learn it and that is Smergle. This was discussed before. [[User:Pokemaster97|<span style="color:Blue;">--Pokemaster</span>]][[User talk:Pokemaster97|<span style="color:Blue;">97</span>]] 00:09, 10 August 2011 (UTC)<br />

:Random move? How is it a random move when it's '''a move that can only be learned by a single Pokémon or its family'''? Just because a certain move is showed off more by a certain Pokémon does not mean it's its signature. Signature refers to a Pokémon's exclusive move which means it can only be learned by a certain Pokémon or at a certain time.<br />
<br />
:Your definition seems to be judged by what you have seen in the anime which is biased to all other media. All things should relate to the game which are used universally.

::What about Ditto's Transform, which is obviously Ditto's signature move because it is Ditto's ONLY move, despite the fact that Mew can learn Transform as well?

== V-create still a signature move? ==<br />
Now that {{p|Rayquaza}} knows {{m|V-create}} via event (the same way that Victini learns it), is V-create still Victini's signature move, is it both Victini's and Rayquaza's, or is it not a signature move at all? Personally, I'd remove it from the list for now, since now it's a one-off move for both Victini ''and'' Rayquaza. --[[User:Darthrai|Darthrai]] 19:35, 20 January 2012 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:You make a lot of sense, and I'd certainly wait for more people to weigh in. However, I think that the name of V-Create certainly points it to it being a signature move of Victini, since many things about Victini are closely associated with the letter ''V''. There isn't really a set standard to which we can hold a "signature move," so I think claiming its status as "debatable" is appropriate. --[[User:Politoed666|<span style="color:#00B7EB">''P''</span> <span style="color:#008080">''o''</span>]] [[User talk:Politoed666|<span style="color:#0095B6">''L''</span> <span style="color:#00CCCC">''i''</span>]] 20:27, 20 January 2012 (UTC)<br />

::There's a bunch a moves on the list that are like that. Why change it now? Personally, I don't think we should change the status of a signature move just because of an event. They do that all the time. Like the Victini from the movie with Zekrom and Reshiram's moves and the Lugia from XD with Deoxys's move. Rayquaza cannot normally get that move and unless it is normal, then we shouldn't worry about it. --[[Tracey Sketchit|<span style="color:#33CC66;">'''ケンジ'''</span>]][[User talk:Kenji-girl|<span style="color:#6600CC;">'''の'''</span>]][[User:Kenji-girl|<span style="color:#FF00CC;">'''ガール'''</span>]] 00:22, 21 January 2012 (UTC)<br />

<br />
::: Agreed - V-create was made for Victini (and I think that I made that clear on the page), but neither Victini nor Rayquaza can learn it through normal gameplay (both of them learn it via event). As for it being a signature move because it was made for Victini, I think {{m|Megahorn}} presents a similar case (though not to the same degree). It was made for {{p|Heracross}} in Generation II (why else would a generic horn attack be Bug-type?) until they made all sorts of other Pokémon, both old and new, able to learn it in future generations. Now, V-create is much more "characteristic" of Victini and probably won't become a widespread move, but having aesthetics and themes associated with a certain Pokémon doesn't seem like a criterion for being a signature move at the moment according to the page's description (we can always change it though). [[User:Darthrai|Darthrai]] 04:15, 21 January 2012 (UTC)<br />
:::: I personally don't feel it applies to what the meaning of signature move is as it says it can be learned by level up '''or other means'''. Think of it this way. If Relic Song is given by event to another Pokémon, say Cresselia, does that mean it's not Meloetta's signature move anymore because it doesn't learn it by level up even though that's what changes its form? Some common sense should be used in these instead of following the definition so strictly. If the Pokémon itself has an obvious connection to the move we should take that into consideration. --[[Tracey Sketchit|<span style="color:#33CC66;">'''ケンジ'''</span>]][[User talk:Kenji-girl|<span style="color:#6600CC;">'''の'''</span>]][[User:Kenji-girl|<span style="color:#FF00CC;">'''ガール'''</span>]] 00:35, 24 January 2012 (UTC)<br />

The thing is, Meloetta can learn Relic Song via tutor; if the same tutor could be used to teach it to Cresselia, I wouldn't personally consider it Meloetta's signature move anymore (since they can both obtain the move on ''equally'' favorable terms). However, if Cresselia got the move via event, I'd still personally consider it Meloetta's signature move, since Meloetta obtains it on ''more'' favorable terms. Right now, Victini and Rayquaza both know V-create on ''equally'' favorable terms (a one-off move for both Pokémon); however, you're right that we should consider if the Pokémon has an obvious connection to the move, so we should make that clear.

::::By the definition of signature move, V-create is not Victini's signature move. However, it is a move that is associated with Victini. So based on Victini's associations with the move, you could say that it is its "signature move", but that is not the definition of signature move. To keep the definition firm, we cannot consider it to be Victini's signature move unless it learns it via a method other than event, like how we didn't consider it Victini's signature move until it was distributed with it. So what should happen is this; V-create should not be listed as a signature move of Victini, but it should most certainly be listed under "Other signature move examples". --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|<span style="color:#A70000">'''Snorlax'''</span>]][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|<span style="color:#0000A7">'''Monster'''</span>]] 14:54, 30 January 2012 (UTC)<br />
Can I suggest that, perhaps, V-Create isn't a Signature Move, so much as an Event Move? It's a move that cannot be known by any pokemon except perhaps via an Event, at least at a certain point. Another example would be Volt Tackle, which, until the release of Pokemon Emerald, couldn't be learned by any pokemon, or Kinesis, which couldn't be learned by any pokemon until Pokemon Yellow. Note that an "Event Move" wouldn't necessarily have been released via Event, it's just that, without an event, it would be unavailable up to a certain time (this could include moves only found as egg moves up to a certain point, if any exist). And on a side note, if a pokemon uses Metronome, and then Smeargle Sketches it, will it learn Metronome, or the resulting move? I ask because, if Smeargle sketches the metronomed move, then it would be possible for it to sketch Volt Tackle in RS/FRLG, or V-Create in DP. [[User:Aielyn|Aielyn]] 15:19, 1 February 2012 (UTC)<br />
:Another example of an Event move is a little more literal than the others - Snarl. At this time, it is only available through obtaining an Event Zoroark, and then breeding it to other pokemon from there. However, once another event, the Lock Capsule, is made available, it will be available as a TM... but still, it's an Event Move, since you need an event to access it in either case. [[User:Aielyn|Aielyn]] 06:56, 2 February 2012 (UTC)<br />
:Those are more "delayed release moves" than "event" moves. And I don't think it is really that relevant (by your definition, {{m|Kinesis}} is both a signature move and an "event move").

::Isn't "delayed release" just another word for "event", in this context? After all, you can catch Mew in Emerald, but you can't do so until a delayed release event. When Ruby/Sapphire were released, one couldn't legitimately get Volt Tackle. Not knowing how they'd give you access to the move, wouldn't it be reasonable to consider it an event-exclusive move? That the "event" ended up being "the release of Emerald" is irrelevant to this point. And yes, Kinesis would be both an event move and a signature move - nothing wrong with that. It was an event move in Red/Blue, and then a signature move after that. Volt Tackle was an event move in RS/FRLG, and a signature move after that. V-Create is currently an event move. It may happen that, with the "third version" release, Victini will be able to learn V-Create by move tutor or level up, in which case it would be a signature move. Until the move can be "learned", it really can't be called a signature move. It is ''speculated'' that the move was made for Victini, but it's only speculation, it hasn't been confirmed. It's entirely possible that, come the next pokemon game, it will be Rayquaza that learns it naturally, and not Victini... would that make it a Rayquaza signature move? [[User:Aielyn|Aielyn]] 04:37, 3 February 2012 (UTC)<br />
:::The reason I used "delayed release" over "event" is because event specifically refers to things only available via event distributions, which is not true of things like Kinesis and Volt Tackle. It is unreasonable to assume a move is an event move if it has not been released yet—those are "unreleased moves" ({{m|Sacred Sword}} and {{m|Relic Song}} of course are exceptions due to being triggered by events, and {{m|Snarl}} was as well before it was available due to the event TM). However, I'm not really sure how this "event move" argument is relevant here anyway. And Mew in Emerald is still event-exclusive. However, I agree with you that it is not currently a signature move, and that it may become one again in the next game. Also, I highly doubt Rayquaza will learn it outside of events if Victini doesn't—however, it is possible that if there is a move tutor, they would both be able to learn it. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|<span style="color:#A70000">'''Snorlax'''</span>]][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|<span style="color:#0000A7">'''Monster'''</span>]] 10:03, 3 February 2012 (UTC)<br />
::::The relevance is that it gives an argument towards ''not'' including V-Create on this page. Indeed, I'd argue that, even prior to the event Rayquaza, it was not a Signature Move, because the move was only available through an event, and thus couldn't be reliably associated with Victini, even if Victini was the only one that had gotten it. Let me give you a hypothetical analogy. Suppose that, during Gen III, an event occurred for FRLG, where you got a Voltorb that knows Volt Tackle. Would that make Volt Tackle a Voltorb signature move? I mean, it has "Volt" in it, and only Voltorb would have it. I'd argue that, until the move is part of a pokemon's available moveset without an event, it cannot be a signature move.

==I'm sorry...==<br />
...but your definition of "signature move" is seriously flawed. Any definition of the term that doesn't allow Transform and Moonlight to be categorized as Ditto and Umbreon's respective signature moves is just wrong. So what if there were few other Pokémon who learned it in the generation it was introduced on? We're too worried about following rules and guidelines to the point that we're sacrificing common sense. Everyone considers Transform to Ditto's signature move despite Mew (who is only a event Pokémon and thus didn't even exist for the average player back in the Gen I days) learning it, too. And considering that Espeon's signature move is Morning Sun, it's obvious that the developers intended Moonlight to be considered the signature move of his counterpart, Umbreon. - [[User:Ericss|Ericss]] 17:53, 3 March 2012 (UTC)<br />
:I can see Ditto being an exception. But Umbereon and Moonlight? I never once thought of it being a signature move for Umbreon. And they only reason we consider it a signature for Espeon in Gen II is because it was the only Pokémon that could learn it.<br />

:Anyway, please look a few sections up to see the definition of "signature". It means ''distinctive''.

<br />
Ok, "Also, some of these moves can be passed down via breeding to other Pokémon or are known by certain event Pokémon." Well how about Signature Move recovery? Sometimes there's only one Pokémon able to learn a move in that generation: Skarmory and Steel Wing for exemple, but because many Pokémon can learn it in a previous generation it isn't a Signature Move. This means that if TM 47 hadn't existed in gen 3 and 4 but in gen 5, Steel Wing would've been Skarmory's Signature Move for two generations and it would've lost this status in gen 5. But now its reversed and so it means Steel Wing isn't Skarmory's Signature Move in any generation!? I personally don't think so. And by the way Mega Kick is Hitmonlee's Signature Move, but there many Pokémon able to learn it in Firered and Leafgreen. So that's why Steel Wing (still for exemple) has to be Skarmory Signature Move. [[User:Nickvang|Nickvang]] ([[User talk:Nickvang|talk]]) 14:40, 12 June 2012 (UTC)<br />

== Do skill swap and steel wing really count as signature moves? ==<br />
<br />
I think something should only be considered a signature more IF only one Pokémon or only the Pokémon from one evolutionary line can learn it since the beginning. But I wouldn't say that steel wing is really Skarmory's signature move since it was a TM earlier on. Yeah, it's no longer a TM, but that doesn't make it Skarmory's signature move all of a sudden.<br />
<br />
Also regarding skill swap, that's also a move that used to be a TM, so I wouldn't say it's a signature move either. What do you guys think? [[User:TheBlazikenMaster|TheBlazikenMaster]] ([[User talk:TheBlazikenMaster|talk]]) 15:18, 22 March 2013 (UTC)<br />
:Steel Wing is definitely a signature move, because even though it was a TM for several generations, Skarmory learned it by level up in all those generations as well, and was the ''only'' Pokemon to learn it by level up. If anything, I think it should be listed as Skarmory's signature move in Gen 2-5 instead of just 5. Skill Swap is a slightly trickier matter that will probably require a more refined definition of "signature move" to resolve satisfactorily one way or the other.<br />
:Personally, I think we should refine the definition so that it doesn't matter if a plethora of Pokemon can learn a move by a "lower"/"less common" method (i.e. TMs, Move Tutors, events); as long as only one family can learn it by level up, that is its signature move. (And if nothing learns it by level up and only one thing learns it by another method, that's also a signature move, of course.) But that's just my opinion. [[User:Pumpkinking0192|Pumpkinking0192]] ([[User talk:Pumpkinking0192|talk]]) 16:01, 22 March 2013 (UTC)<br />
::In that case would you say that {{m|return}} is {{p|Lopunny}}'s signature move? Sure, that move was introduced long before Loponny was but Lopunny is the only Pokémon that learns it by level up. [[User:TheBlazikenMaster|TheBlazikenMaster]] ([[User talk:TheBlazikenMaster|talk]]) 16:12, 22 March 2013 (UTC)<br />
:::That's why I said Skill Swap (which is in the same boat) is a tricky matter. There should probably be a provision where widely/universally-available TMs like Return aren't signature moves unless the one Pokémon that learns it by level up has been able to learn it at least as long as the move has been a TM. On the other hand, something like Softboiled was obviously Chansey's signature move even in Gen 1, in which nothing learned it by level up and the TM was only learnable by Chansey and Mew (which, of course, can learn anything). Of course, those are both extremes on opposite sides of the spectrum, and examples that are somewhere in the middle (like Skill Swap) are more difficult to figure.

<br />
== A few things... ==<br />
<br />
First... Why don't egg moves disqualify a signature move? Due to them, moves like Present and Beat Up are VERY widespread, compared to moves like Softboiled and Needle Arm that get disqualified for very small numbers of other Pokemon.<br />
Second... Why does Volt Tackle count as a Pikachu signature when it can't learn it by any means itself? (It can only get it by evolving a Pichu that knows it <which should also qualify Raichu and a bunch of other families' Pokemon if this counts> or by events <which have been noted to generally not count>.)<br />
Third... Why does Sacred Sword (and relatedly, Fusion Flare/Bolt) count as a signature move for the Swords of Justice (who aren't technically related by family) when Rolling Kick (which only Hitmonlee and Hitmontop, who are related, can learn, excluding egg moves) doesn't from Generation 2 onwards?<br />
Fourth... Needle Arm isn't learned by anything other than Cacnea/Cacturne in Generation 4, either. (It's only marked as being signature in Generation 3.)<br />
Fifth... Only the Whismur line learned Sleep Talk, except by breeding, in Ruby and Sapphire.<br />

:That seems notable, I guess, but I'm going to say no. It's like how Glare is only learnable by snake-based Pokémon (excluding breeding). Since all those rodents are unrelated by evolution, it just comes down to specifics on how the move is actually used (description involves "electrified cheeks"). --[[User:Kianglo|<span style="color:#6900FF"><b>KiANGLO</b></span>]] <sup>''([[User talk:Kianglo|<span style="color:#cc00aa">TALK</span>]])''</sup> 15:22, 18 November 2013 (UTC)<br />

== Definition ==<br />
<br />
This article doesn't give a clear definition of what conditions we consider a move to be a signature move and what conditions we don't. All it says is that ''Most are learned by leveling up but some can be learned through other means when no Pokémon can learn the move by leveling up''. There's no addressing what disqualifies a signature move: do TMs? do Egg moves? do event moves? do all of these disqualify in all cases, or are there special circumstances? There's been a lot of disagreement on this talk page about what constitutes a signature move, so we need to actually state ''our definition'' in the article so it's clear to readers. I would do so myself, but I don't know what that definition is to me because {{tt|our criteria make no sense to me|Really, Soft-Boiled is disqualified from Gen I Chansey on this page because it's a TM, but there's no mention of ''since Generation II'' in Soft-Boiled's article?}}.

== Solosis line and Skill Swap? ==<br />
<br />
Does Skill Swap really count as being a signature move for the Solosis line? Sure, they were the first ones to be able to learn it by level up, but many others could learn it through other means. Heck, the move itself appeared two generations before the Pokémon did. If no one has any objections, I think it should be removed. --[[User:RiverAura|<font color="#00CCFF">River</font>]][[User_Talk:RiverAura|<font color="#00FFCC">Aura</font>]] 00:16, 15 January 2014 (UTC)<br />
:Yeah, it definitely doesn't fit since it can be taught by Move Tutor in the same Generation it's listed as being a signature move in. [[User:Glik|Glik]] ([[User talk:Glik|talk]]) 00:31, 15 January 2014 (UTC)<br />
<br />
== Event moves... ==<br />
<br />
Should Hold Back and Happy Hour really be considered signature moves? They're not naturally known by any Pokemon, and several moves that otherwise qualify as Signature moves on this list, such as Shift Gear, Spacial Rend and Fusion Bolt have been given to event Pokemon. The fact they're only known by 1 Pokemon seems meaningless since any Pokemon could (and in all probability, will) be given them. (And again, no Pokemon actually learns them naturally.)<br />
<br />
Incidentally, the list of "One-off signature moves" is rather incomplete. (Being both outdated, and lacking some earlier ones like XD's Frenzy Plant/Blast Burn/Hydro Cannon Gen 2 starters.)<br />
<br />
Given Egg Moves seem to be ignored, Whismur/Loudred/Exploud should have Sleep Talk as a signature move in Ruby/Sapphire and Spoink/Grumpig should have Magic Coat as a signature move in the entirety of Gen 3. If Hold Back and Happy Hour are deemed to be valid signature moves, then Snarl should be a signature move of Zoroark in Black/White since TM95 wasn't legitimately obtainable, and thus event Zoroark (or a trade back from BW2, which also shouldn't count, since otherwise it would disqualify things like Meowth's Gen 2 Pay Day) is the only Pokemon that can know it outside breeding in those games. [[User:RiverShock|RiverShock]] ([[User talk:RiverShock|talk]]) 23:54, 30 March 2014 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:In order for a Pokémon to qualify as having a signature move, it must meet one of the following conditions: (1) It must be the only Pokémon (or Pokémon family) to learn the move (excluding Smeargle using Sketch), or (2) It must be the only Pokémon (or Pokémon family) to learn the move by Level Up. At the time of this writing, Celebi's Hold Back and Inkay's Happy Hour qualify them for condition #1. If a later event is released giving the move to a different Pokémon, then they will cease being signature moves, and they will be removed. If a later game is released where the moves are available to more Pokémon, the same will occur. Celebrate and V-Create are good examples of this. They are event-exclusive moves, but they are available to multiple evolution lines, with Celebrate being found on both Pikachu and Eevee (plus evolutions), and V-Create being available to both Victini and Rayquaza. Shift Gear, Spacial Rend, Fusion Bolt, etc. are considered signature moves because their users qualify for condition #2, they are the only Pokémon capable of learning the move through Level Up. Snarl on Zoroark was a signature move of Zoroark in Black/White, however, it isn't listed because we don't list things by games, we list them by generation, and the move is not exclusive to Zoroark when you look at Generation V as a whole - which would include Black 2/White 2. Meowth's Gen 2 Pay Day is a signature move because it qualifies for both conditions in Gen 2. --[[User:GoldenSandslash15|GoldenSandslash15]] ([[User talk:GoldenSandslash15|talk]]) 04:14, 31 March 2014 (UTC)<br />
::Actually, GoldenSandslash, we do frequently list things by game instead of generation. See, for example, the Alakazam line's Kinesis in Yellow or Hitmonchan's Vacuum Wave in Diamond/Pearl. Also, your condition #2 is wrong; a TM is also enough to disqualify it, even if only one family can learn it by level up. (I strongly disagree with this criterion, but for some reason it exists.) In any case, I agree that TM95 being unobtainable in BW shouldn't make Snarl Zoroark's signature move, because if you do get a TM95 in BW somehow (tradeback or cheating), it is programmed to be compatible with tons of Pokemon, so it's ''technically'' in their movesets, and it's not programmed to be in Zoroark's level up moveset at all. [[User:Pumpkinking0192|Pumpkinking0192]] ([[User talk:Pumpkinking0192|talk]])<br />
:::TMs aren't tradeable in Gen 5, so there has never been (and never will be) a way to teach a Pokemon a move via TM95 in Black/White without cheating. The only way TM95's compatibility is referred to at all in Black/White is by breeding a tradeback or this Zoroark. (Or a Smeargle that Sketched from this Zoroark or a tradeback, I guess.) And breeding doesn't disqualify a signature move. Why should unobtainable moves in a Pokemon's potential learnset count towards disqualifying a signature move?

:Yeah... one of the things I was going to suggest was listing the likes of Splash, ExtremeSpeed and so on in a seperate table, for moves that were once exclusive to a single line, but aren't anymore. I think these moves are certainly worth mentioning somewhere in the article, as they might still be relevant to someone who's playing any of the older games.

This article NEEDS some cleanup... some signature moves don't make sense and some are in a lot of pokemon, so they should be removed.

==This page is in need of SERIOUS clean-up.==<br />
<br />
Some moves are counted as signature when they're limited to one Pokémon. Some are counted when they're limited to two Pokémon. Some three Pokémon. Where's the limit? I think two families should be the most.(Branched families are fine.) I'd prefer only one family, but I'll accept anything, just agree on something.<br />
<br />
Some moves are counted as "signature" if they're limited to one(or a few) Pokémon NATURALLY...other moves are counted if they're limited OVERALL. I think that TMs/HMs/tutors/"bonus" moves should not matter, Waterfall is still Goldeen and Seaking's signature move. I'd accept the other way too, but it needs to be CONSISTENT.<br />
<br />
Not to mention a few of the asterisks are wrong...and some without asterisks could use some. Or it could be split to generations, but I think asterisks work just fine.<br />
<br />
The Pikachu that knows Volt Tackle doesn't need to be in the one-off section. Yes, it's only Pichu's signature move...but Pikachus can normally learn it by evolving from Pichu! Pikachu shouldn't be in the table, that is correct, but it doesn't need to be in the one-off either. That should be for examples that COULD NOT happen otherwise, like the Dratini with ExtremeSpeed.[[User:Flint A|Flint A]] 20:09, 20 June 2009 (UTC)<br />
:My opinion is that if a move can be learned by any or all of the Pokémon of '''one''' family naturally or by TM, it is a signature move. If a move is shared with an other family or it is a TM that can be used or a move tutor move that can be taught on more than the family in question, it is not a signature move. Event Pokémon are obviously excluded. <font color="#3fff00">'''UltimateSephiroth'''</font> <sup>([[User:UltimateSephiroth|<font color="#3f7f00">about me</font>]] · [[User talk:UltimateSephiroth|<font color="#3f7f00">chat</font>]] · [[Special:Contributions/UltimateSephiroth|edits]])</sup> 22:48, 20 June 2009 (UTC)<br />
::That sounds fine to me, a more "exclusive" definition of signature move. Although if something was a signature move at one point, I'd expect it there with an asterisk.

==GrassWhistle==<br />
In GenerationIII, Roselia was the only one who could learn GrassWhistle by leveling up(to lv 29). There are many other pokemon that can learn it now in Generation IV, but it used to be a move unique only to Roselia(by level up). --[[User:PKFL 531|PKFL 531]] 01:38, 30 October 2009 (UTC)<br />

==Removing moves==<br />
<br />
Before I edit the actual page, I want to see if everyone agrees to this. <br />
<br />
I was thinking of removing the following moves since they're "Signature" titles are questionable:<br />
<br />
-----------------------<br />
-{{m|Petal Dance}}<br />
<br />
-{{m|Crush Claw}}<br />
<br />
-{{m|Splash}}<br />
<br />
-{{m|Super Fang}}<br />
<br />
-{{m|Beat Up}}<br />
<br />
-{{m|Pain Split}}<br />

-{{m|FeatherDance}} <br />

-{{m|Assist}}<br />

-{{m|ExtremeSpeed}}<br />
<br />
-{{m|Weather Ball}}<br />
<br />
-{{m|Extrasensory}}<br />
<br />
-{{m|Megahorn}}<br />
<br />
-{{m|Waterfall}}<br />
<br />
-{{m|Leaf Blade}}<br />
--------------------------<br />
<br />
Yes yes, I know that's quite a lot of moves to pick out. But let's be honest, These moves are a little too common to be "Signature" thanks to other Pokémon showing up or Pokémon learning said moves via Breeding, Level up, Move tutor, TM/HM etc.<br />
<br />
If you don't agree with this, I'll ignore this. Or if you want only a specific move or two gone, I'll only get rid of those instead.<small>- ''unsigned comment from {{u|Ninterror}} ([[User talk:Ninterror|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Ninterror|contribs]]) ''</small><br />

<br />
Many of those moves are already noted as being signature moves prior to a Generation, as the person above said. However, Beat Up, Crush Claw, Pain Split, Feather Dance, Assist and Extrasensory, are different. They're signature moves in that only a select few Pokémon learn ''by level up'', but can be taught in other ways. In the "Other signature move examples" section, such things are noted, where a move is learned by more than one Pokémon but only by one by level up. I say we move the mentioned moves to a whole new section for "Level Up Signature Moves", where we list the signature moves if we go by moves learned through level and not by tutor or TM or breeding.

== Former Signature moves! ==<br />

<br />
== Overhaul ==<br />
<br />
Alright, I went for it and changed the main body to only refer to Generation IV signature moves. The list of former signature moves near the bottom might be better as some sort of table, but I'm not good at making tables and it wouldn't be like just copying the first table, as we'd need "unsignature" dates. Also, that list should not be considered comprehensive; it's just the ones that were there already plus the ones from the old list. There might be some missing.<br />
<br />
The only controversial change I think is that I specifically limited signature moves to one evolutionary family only, but I seem to see quite a bit of support for that on the talk page and I feel it's the only sensible decision myself.<br />

== "prior to gen ..." signature moves ==<br />
<br />
If, according to te article, Signature moves are by definition only learned by either a single Pokémon or a small group of Pokémon, then a lot of the moves listed that say they were signature moves prior to a certain generation were still signature moves, (in cases such as extemespeed, for at least until the generation after) as the definition in no way implies that the pokémon that can learn it have to be related by evolution it just states either that the move can be learned only as a level up move and even then, only by a small number of Pokémon or that the move can only be learned by level up by a small number of pokémon (in which case almost all, if not all are still signature moves). because even though the way the definition is phrased it can be rephrased either way it most certainly can't be rephrased both ways because they are different from meanings from eachother but are synonyms to different definitions of the phrase that defines signature moves. [[User:Juarmo|Juarmo]] 05:07, 11 October 2010 (UTC)<br />
<br />
==Ultimate Starter Type Moves==<br />
techinically, the elemental hyper beams would be no less signature moves of the gen 1 starter evolutions in gen 3 than deoxys and its psycho boost (as purified shadow Lugia knew it). In fact, probably less of one as you catch the Lugia but you recieve the XD Jhoto starters from an event (albeit an in game one but still) also if Oddish and Glooms signature that ceased to be a signature by Gen 2 is on the list shouldn't arcanine and his extremespeed be on the list too. if i remember correctly dragon's den dratini didn't count towards extremespeed not still being arcanine's signature move in gen 2 so why should the XD Jhoto starters they're both in game events.

*Limited means: A few other pokes can learn it as well by leveling up or by breeding.<br />
*LU exclusive means: The move is exclusive to a certain poke line by leveling up, but several other pokes can learn it by breading or tutoring.<br />
*Common means: The move is now available to a plenty of pokes. Only mentioned if the move used to be exclusive.<br />
*N/A means: it didn't exist that gen.<br />

<br />
== My definition of 'Signature Move' ==<br />
<br />
I say the definition should be "A move that a Pokémon is best known for." As a result, this means that a move that is common can be the signature move of another Pokémon (for example, Rollout can be learned by several different kinds of Pokémon, but Geodude's evolutionary family may have it as their signature move, because Graveler is said to use it often down mountains in Firered's description of it). Another example is Psycho Cut - Gallade would most likely have the attack as its signature move had this description of signature move been used. --[[User:Psyblade|Psyblade]] 18:43, 27 January 2011 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:I think it's a very good point, however, Pokédex entries sometimes state misleading facts, such as Dusclops learning {{m|Hypnosis}}, which it actually can't.

The trivia says, that Vespiquen is the only Pokémon with 3 signature moves, while the same is true for Kyurem (as the table says). Shouldn't it be edited? --[[User:KingisNitro|KingisNitro]] 08:46, 7 May 2011 (UTC)<br />

==Cubone and Marowak==<br />
Both of these are only listed under Former Signature Moves, however both have two current signature moves. Bone Rush, out. Bone Club and Bonemerang, good. So why aren't Cubone and Marowak under the current signature moves? [[User:Ikarishipper900|Ikarishipper900]] 01:10, 13 July 2011 (UTC)<br />
<br />
== Current definition is SERIOUSLY flawed! ==<br />
<br />
The current definition of signature move here is '''seriously''' flawed. The definition should be the move the Pokémon is most known for, not any random move that is exclusive to it. While at times moves that a Pokémon is most known for may also be exclusive to it (such as Smeargle's Sketch), that is not always the case. For example, even though Charizard was the only Pokémon able to learn Blast Burn prior to XD, Charizard is never shown using it in any Pokémon media; usually Charizard is shown using Flamethrower, and in the anime, Seismic Toss. Furthermore, Charizard is a Gen I Pokémon, and it is absurd to say that a Gen III move is its signature move, considering Charizard predates Gen III.<br />
<br />
I really think the definition should be corrected here. [[User:Andros 1337|Andros 1337]] 00:05, 10 August 2011 (UTC)<br />
:I don't think it's flawed at all. A signature move exclusive to that Pokémon. Meaning that the move can only be learned by that Pokémon. While Rollout is well know for a Miltank for example that doesn't make it a signature move. Sketch is a signature move because only one Pokémon can learn it and that is Smergle. This was discussed before. [[User:Pokemaster97|<span style="color:Blue;">--Pokemaster</span>]][[User talk:Pokemaster97|<span style="color:Blue;">97</span>]] 00:09, 10 August 2011 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:Random move? How is it a random move when it's '''a move that can only be learned by a single Pokémon or its family'''? Just because a certain move is showed off more by a certain Pokémon does not mean it's its signature. Signature refers to a Pokémon's exclusive move which means it can only be learned by a certain Pokémon or at a certain time.<br />
<br />
:Your definition seems to be judged by what you have seen in the anime which is biased to all other media. All things should relate to the game which are used universally. Might as well say BubbleBeam is Piplup's signature move and Thunderbolt is Pikachu's. --[[Tracey Sketchit|<span style="color:#33CC66;">'''ケンジ'''</span>]][[User talk:Kenji-girl|<span style="color:#6600CC;">'''の'''</span>]][[User:Kenji-girl|<span style="color:#FF00CC;">'''ガール'''</span>]] 00:18, 10 August 2011 (UTC)<br />
::What about Ditto's Transform, which is obviously Ditto's signature move because it is Ditto's ONLY move, despite the fact that Mew can learn Transform as well? The fact is, Charizard is never shown using Blast Burn in the anime or any other Pokémon media besides the main games. Also, consider that Blast Burn is a tutored move, not a level-up move.

:::Leveling up has nothing to do with it. Volt Tackle is an egg move that is bred on to Pichu. There's also Meloetta who can only learn its signature move through tutoring. And again, the amount of times the move is shown in the anime has nothing to do with it. In the defense of Transform, Mew has the capability of learning every move through the move tutor in XD from Generation III and below. Though I'll give you that Mew can learn that one by level up. Not to mention that it's Ditto's only move. --[[Tracey Sketchit|<span style="color:#33CC66;">'''ケンジ'''</span>]][[User talk:Kenji-girl|<span style="color:#6600CC;">'''の'''</span>]][[User:Kenji-girl|<span style="color:#FF00CC;">'''ガール'''</span>]] 01:03, 10 August 2011 (UTC)<br />

I think you're not understanding here. Not all Pokémon have signature moves. A signature move is a move only that Pokémon or it's family can learn.

== V-create still a signature move? ==<br />
Now that {{p|Rayquaza}} knows {{m|V-create}} via event (the same way that Victini learns it), is V-create still Victini's signature move, is it both Victini's and Rayquaza's, or is it not a signature move at all? Personally, I'd remove it from the list for now, since now it's a one-off move for both Victini ''and'' Rayquaza. --[[User:Darthrai|Darthrai]] 19:35, 20 January 2012 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:You make a lot of sense, and I'd certainly wait for more people to weigh in. However, I think that the name of V-Create certainly points it to it being a signature move of Victini, since many things about Victini are closely associated with the letter ''V''. There isn't really a set standard to which we can hold a "signature move," so I think claiming its status as "debatable" is appropriate. --[[User:Politoed666|<span style="color:#00B7EB">''P''</span> <span style="color:#008080">''o''</span>]] [[User talk:Politoed666|<span style="color:#0095B6">''L''</span> <span style="color:#00CCCC">''i''</span>]] 20:27, 20 January 2012 (UTC)<br />

::There's a bunch a moves on the list that are like that. Why change it now? Personally, I don't think we should change the status of a signature move just because of an event. They do that all the time. Like the Victini from the movie with Zekrom and Reshiram's moves and the Lugia from XD with Deoxys's move. Rayquaza cannot normally get that move and unless it is normal, then we shouldn't worry about it. --[[Tracey Sketchit|<span style="color:#33CC66;">'''ケンジ'''</span>]][[User talk:Kenji-girl|<span style="color:#6600CC;">'''の'''</span>]][[User:Kenji-girl|<span style="color:#FF00CC;">'''ガール'''</span>]] 00:22, 21 January 2012 (UTC)<br />

<br />
::: Agreed - V-create was made for Victini (and I think that I made that clear on the page), but neither Victini nor Rayquaza can learn it through normal gameplay (both of them learn it via event). As for it being a signature move because it was made for Victini, I think {{m|Megahorn}} presents a similar case (though not to the same degree). It was made for {{p|Heracross}} in Generation II (why else would a generic horn attack be Bug-type?) until they made all sorts of other Pokémon, both old and new, able to learn it in future generations. Now, V-create is much more "characteristic" of Victini and probably won't become a widespread move, but having aesthetics and themes associated with a certain Pokémon doesn't seem like a criterion for being a signature move at the moment according to the page's description (we can always change it though). [[User:Darthrai|Darthrai]] 04:15, 21 January 2012 (UTC)<br />
:::: I personally don't feel it applies to what the meaning of signature move is as it says it can be learned by level up '''or other means'''. Think of it this way. If Relic Song is given by event to another Pokémon, say Cresselia, does that mean it's not Meloetta's signature move anymore because it doesn't learn it by level up even though that's what changes its form? Some common sense should be used in these instead of following the definition so strictly. If the Pokémon itself has an obvious connection to the move we should take that into consideration. --[[Tracey Sketchit|<span style="color:#33CC66;">'''ケンジ'''</span>]][[User talk:Kenji-girl|<span style="color:#6600CC;">'''の'''</span>]][[User:Kenji-girl|<span style="color:#FF00CC;">'''ガール'''</span>]] 00:35, 24 January 2012 (UTC)<br />

The thing is, Meloetta can learn Relic Song via tutor; if the same tutor could be used to teach it to Cresselia, I wouldn't personally consider it Meloetta's signature move anymore (since they can both obtain the move on ''equally'' favorable terms). However, if Cresselia got the move via event, I'd still personally consider it Meloetta's signature move, since Meloetta obtains it on ''more'' favorable terms. Right now, Victini and Rayquaza both know V-create on ''equally'' favorable terms (a one-off move for both Pokémon); however, you're right that we should consider if the Pokémon has an obvious connection to the move, so we should make that clear.

::::And Dialga and Palkia know Roar of Time and Spacial Rend via level-up, whereas Darkrai and Arceus only know it via event. It's not the same.

::::By the definition of signature move, V-create is not Victini's signature move. However, it is a move that is associated with Victini. So based on Victini's associations with the move, you could say that it is its "signature move", but that is not the definition of signature move. To keep the definition firm, we cannot consider it to be Victini's signature move unless it learns it via a method other than event, like how we didn't consider it Victini's signature move until it was distributed with it. So what should happen is this; V-create should not be listed as a signature move of Victini, but it should most certainly be listed under "Other signature move examples". --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|<span style="color:#A70000">'''Snorlax'''</span>]][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|<span style="color:#0000A7">'''Monster'''</span>]] 14:54, 30 January 2012 (UTC)<br />
Can I suggest that, perhaps, V-Create isn't a Signature Move, so much as an Event Move? It's a move that cannot be known by any pokemon except perhaps via an Event, at least at a certain point. Another example would be Volt Tackle, which, until the release of Pokemon Emerald, couldn't be learned by any pokemon, or Kinesis, which couldn't be learned by any pokemon until Pokemon Yellow. Note that an "Event Move" wouldn't necessarily have been released via Event, it's just that, without an event, it would be unavailable up to a certain time (this could include moves only found as egg moves up to a certain point, if any exist). And on a side note, if a pokemon uses Metronome, and then Smeargle Sketches it, will it learn Metronome, or the resulting move? I ask because, if Smeargle sketches the metronomed move, then it would be possible for it to sketch Volt Tackle in RS/FRLG, or V-Create in DP. [[User:Aielyn|Aielyn]] 15:19, 1 February 2012 (UTC)<br />
:Another example of an Event move is a little more literal than the others - Snarl. At this time, it is only available through obtaining an Event Zoroark, and then breeding it to other pokemon from there. However, once another event, the Lock Capsule, is made available, it will be available as a TM... but still, it's an Event Move, since you need an event to access it in either case. [[User:Aielyn|Aielyn]] 06:56, 2 February 2012 (UTC)<br />
:Those are more "delayed release moves" than "event" moves. And I don't think it is really that relevant (by your definition, {{m|Kinesis}} is both a signature move and an "event move"). And to answer your question, Smeargle will Sketch Metronome. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|<span style="color:#A70000">'''Snorlax'''</span>]][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|<span style="color:#0000A7">'''Monster'''</span>]] 12:48, 2 February 2012 (UTC)<br />
::Isn't "delayed release" just another word for "event", in this context? After all, you can catch Mew in Emerald, but you can't do so until a delayed release event. When Ruby/Sapphire were released, one couldn't legitimately get Volt Tackle. Not knowing how they'd give you access to the move, wouldn't it be reasonable to consider it an event-exclusive move? That the "event" ended up being "the release of Emerald" is irrelevant to this point. And yes, Kinesis would be both an event move and a signature move - nothing wrong with that. It was an event move in Red/Blue, and then a signature move after that. Volt Tackle was an event move in RS/FRLG, and a signature move after that. V-Create is currently an event move. It may happen that, with the "third version" release, Victini will be able to learn V-Create by move tutor or level up, in which case it would be a signature move. Until the move can be "learned", it really can't be called a signature move. It is ''speculated'' that the move was made for Victini, but it's only speculation, it hasn't been confirmed. It's entirely possible that, come the next pokemon game, it will be Rayquaza that learns it naturally, and not Victini... would that make it a Rayquaza signature move? [[User:Aielyn|Aielyn]] 04:37, 3 February 2012 (UTC)<br />
:::The reason I used "delayed release" over "event" is because event specifically refers to things only available via event distributions, which is not true of things like Kinesis and Volt Tackle. It is unreasonable to assume a move is an event move if it has not been released yet—those are "unreleased moves" ({{m|Sacred Sword}} and {{m|Relic Song}} of course are exceptions due to being triggered by events, and {{m|Snarl}} was as well before it was available due to the event TM). However, I'm not really sure how this "event move" argument is relevant here anyway. And Mew in Emerald is still event-exclusive. However, I agree with you that it is not currently a signature move, and that it may become one again in the next game. Also, I highly doubt Rayquaza will learn it outside of events if Victini doesn't—however, it is possible that if there is a move tutor, they would both be able to learn it. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|<span style="color:#A70000">'''Snorlax'''</span>]][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|<span style="color:#0000A7">'''Monster'''</span>]] 10:03, 3 February 2012 (UTC)<br />
::::The relevance is that it gives an argument towards ''not'' including V-Create on this page. Indeed, I'd argue that, even prior to the event Rayquaza, it was not a Signature Move, because the move was only available through an event, and thus couldn't be reliably associated with Victini, even if Victini was the only one that had gotten it. Let me give you a hypothetical analogy. Suppose that, during Gen III, an event occurred for FRLG, where you got a Voltorb that knows Volt Tackle. Would that make Volt Tackle a Voltorb signature move? I mean, it has "Volt" in it, and only Voltorb would have it. I'd argue that, until the move is part of a pokemon's available moveset without an event, it cannot be a signature move.

==I'm sorry...==<br />
...but your definition of "signature move" is seriously flawed. Any definition of the term that doesn't allow Transform and Moonlight to be categorized as Ditto and Umbreon's respective signature moves is just wrong. So what if there were few other Pokémon who learned it in the generation it was introduced on? We're too worried about following rules and guidelines to the point that we're sacrificing common sense. Everyone considers Transform to Ditto's signature move despite Mew (who is only a event Pokémon and thus didn't even exist for the average player back in the Gen I days) learning it, too. And considering that Espeon's signature move is Morning Sun, it's obvious that the developers intended Moonlight to be considered the signature move of his counterpart, Umbreon. - [[User:Ericss|Ericss]] 17:53, 3 March 2012 (UTC)<br />
:I can see Ditto being an exception. But Umbereon and Moonlight? I never once thought of it being a signature move for Umbreon. And they only reason we consider it a signature for Espeon in Gen II is because it was the only Pokémon that could learn it.<br />

:Anyway, please look a few sections up to see the definition of "signature". It means ''distinctive''. It's not distinctive when other Pokémon can learn it too. --[[Tracey Sketchit|<span style="color:#33CC66;">'''ケンジ'''</span>]][[User talk:Kenji-girl|<span style="color:#6600CC;">'''の'''</span>]][[User:Kenji-girl|<span style="color:#FF00CC;">'''ガール'''</span>]] 05:44, 4 March 2012 (UTC)<br />

== Signature Move recovery ==<br />
<br />
Ok, "Also, some of these moves can be passed down via breeding to other Pokémon or are known by certain event Pokémon." Well how about Signature Move recovery? Sometimes there's only one Pokémon able to learn a move in that generation: Skarmory and Steel Wing for exemple, but because many Pokémon can learn it in a previous generation it isn't a Signature Move. This means that if TM 47 hadn't existed in gen 3 and 4 but in gen 5, Steel Wing would've been Skarmory's Signature Move for two generations and it would've lost this status in gen 5. But now its reversed and so it means Steel Wing isn't Skarmory's Signature Move in any generation!? I personally don't think so. And by the way Mega Kick is Hitmonlee's Signature Move, but there many Pokémon able to learn it in Firered and Leafgreen. So that's why Steel Wing (still for exemple) has to be Skarmory Signature Move. [[User:Nickvang|Nickvang]] ([[User talk:Nickvang|talk]]) 14:40, 12 June 2012 (UTC)<br />

== One table more. ==<br />
<br />
In 'Other signature move examples' are many exemples of moves which only one evolutionary line can learn by leveling up, but can be learned by other Pokémon too via TM. Could we give those exemples their own table? Just like the one for the real signature moves. This would make the page a little more clear. [[User:Nickvang|Nickvang]] ([[User talk:Nickvang|talk]]) 19:42, 28 July 2012 (UTC)<br />
:Squirtle's evolutionary family and Sharpedo are the only Pokémon to learn Skull Bash by leveling up, but other Pokémon could learn it through TM40 in Generation I.<br />
Sudowoodo is the only Pokémon to learn Mimic by leveling up in Generation II, but other Pokémon could learn it through TM31 in Generation I and Move Tutor in Generation III.<br />
In Generations II, IV and V and Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire, Hitmonlee is the only Pokémon who can learn Mega Kick. However, in Generation I and Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen, others could learn it through TM and Move Tutor respectively.<br />
Unown can learn only Hidden Power; however, almost every other Pokémon can learn it via TM10 in Generation II and beyond.<br />
Although several Pokémon can learn it by TM, until Generation III only Diglett and Dugtrio could learn Dig by level up.<br />
Prior to Generation V, Vigoroth is the only Pokémon to learn Focus Punch by leveling up, although many other Pokémon can learn it via TM01.<br />
Porygon-Z is the only Pokémon to learn Trick Room by leveling up, although that move can be learned via TM92.<br />
Almost every Pokémon is able to learn Facade via TM42. However, Chimchar is the only one to learn it by leveling up prior to Generation V.<br />
Although only Panpour and its evolution are the only Pokémon to learn Scald by leveling up, other Pokémon can learn it via TM55.<br />
Also, Pansage is currently the only Pokémon to learn Grass Knot by leveling up, yet other Pokémon can learn it via TM86.<br />
Kadabra and Alakazam are the only Pokémon to learn Ally Switch by leveling up, but other Pokémon can learn it through TM51 in Generation V.<br />
Sawk is the only Pokémon to learn Rock Smash by leveling up, but other Pokémon can learn it through TM94 in Generation V.<br />
Emolga is the only Pokémon to learn Volt Switch by leveling up, but other Pokémon can learn it through TM72 in Generation V. [[User:Nickvang|Nickvang]] ([[User talk:Nickvang|talk]]) 19:47, 28 July 2012 (UTC)<br />

== Do skill swap and steel wing really count as signature moves? ==<br />
<br />
I think something should only be considered a signature more IF only one Pokémon or only the Pokémon from one evolutionary line can learn it since the beginning. But I wouldn't say that steel wing is really Skarmory's signature move since it was a TM earlier on. Yeah, it's no longer a TM, but that doesn't make it Skarmory's signature move all of a sudden.<br />
<br />
Also regarding skill swap, that's also a move that used to be a TM, so I wouldn't say it's a signature move either. What do you guys think? [[User:TheBlazikenMaster|TheBlazikenMaster]] ([[User talk:TheBlazikenMaster|talk]]) 15:18, 22 March 2013 (UTC)<br />
:Steel Wing is definitely a signature move, because even though it was a TM for several generations, Skarmory learned it by level up in all those generations as well, and was the ''only'' Pokemon to learn it by level up. If anything, I think it should be listed as Skarmory's signature move in Gen 2-5 instead of just 5. Skill Swap is a slightly trickier matter that will probably require a more refined definition of "signature move" to resolve satisfactorily one way or the other.<br />
:Personally, I think we should refine the definition so that it doesn't matter if a plethora of Pokemon can learn a move by a "lower"/"less common" method (i.e. TMs, Move Tutors, events); as long as only one family can learn it by level up, that is its signature move. (And if nothing learns it by level up and only one thing learns it by another method, that's also a signature move, of course.) But that's just my opinion. [[User:Pumpkinking0192|Pumpkinking0192]] ([[User talk:Pumpkinking0192|talk]]) 16:01, 22 March 2013 (UTC)<br />
::In that case would you say that {{m|return}} is {{p|Lopunny}}'s signature move? Sure, that move was introduced long before Loponny was but Lopunny is the only Pokémon that learns it by level up. [[User:TheBlazikenMaster|TheBlazikenMaster]] ([[User talk:TheBlazikenMaster|talk]]) 16:12, 22 March 2013 (UTC)<br />
:::That's why I said Skill Swap (which is in the same boat) is a tricky matter. There should probably be a provision where widely/universally-available TMs like Return aren't signature moves unless the one Pokémon that learns it by level up has been able to learn it at least as long as the move has been a TM. On the other hand, something like Softboiled was obviously Chansey's signature move even in Gen 1, in which nothing learned it by level up and the TM was only learnable by Chansey and Mew (which, of course, can learn anything). Of course, those are both extremes on opposite sides of the spectrum, and examples that are somewhere in the middle (like Skill Swap) are more difficult to figure.

<br />
== A few things... ==<br />
<br />
First... Why don't egg moves disqualify a signature move? Due to them, moves like Present and Beat Up are VERY widespread, compared to moves like Softboiled and Needle Arm that get disqualified for very small numbers of other Pokemon.<br />
Second... Why does Volt Tackle count as a Pikachu signature when it can't learn it by any means itself? (It can only get it by evolving a Pichu that knows it <which should also qualify Raichu and a bunch of other families' Pokemon if this counts> or by events <which have been noted to generally not count>.)<br />
Third... Why does Sacred Sword (and relatedly, Fusion Flare/Bolt) count as a signature move for the Swords of Justice (who aren't technically related by family) when Rolling Kick (which only Hitmonlee and Hitmontop, who are related, can learn, excluding egg moves) doesn't from Generation 2 onwards?<br />
Fourth... Needle Arm isn't learned by anything other than Cacnea/Cacturne in Generation 4, either. (It's only marked as being signature in Generation 3.)<br />
Fifth... Only the Whismur line learned Sleep Talk, except by breeding, in Ruby and Sapphire.<br />

::Breeding is ignored for signature moves. Because by that logic, eg. {{m|Pay Day}} would be signature only in G3-G4 (G1 has TM, G2 has breed from TM and G5 has breed), when it's signature since G2. [[User:Marked +-+-+|Marked +-+-+]] ([[User talk:Marked +-+-+|talk]]) 09:04, 27 June 2013 (UTC)<br />

:That seems notable, I guess, but I'm going to say no. It's like how Glare is only learnable by snake-based Pokémon (excluding breeding). Since all those rodents are unrelated by evolution, it just comes down to specifics on how the move is actually used (description involves "electrified cheeks"). --[[User:Kianglo|<span style="color:#6900FF"><b>KiANGLO</b></span>]] <sup>''([[User talk:Kianglo|<span style="color:#cc00aa">TALK</span>]])''</sup> 15:22, 18 November 2013 (UTC)<br />
<br />
== Definition ==<br />
<br />
This article doesn't give a clear definition of what conditions we consider a move to be a signature move and what conditions we don't. All it says is that ''Most are learned by leveling up but some can be learned through other means when no Pokémon can learn the move by leveling up''. There's no addressing what disqualifies a signature move: do TMs? do Egg moves? do event moves? do all of these disqualify in all cases, or are there special circumstances? There's been a lot of disagreement on this talk page about what constitutes a signature move, so we need to actually state ''our definition'' in the article so it's clear to readers. I would do so myself, but I don't know what that definition is to me because {{tt|our criteria make no sense to me|Really, Soft-Boiled is disqualified from Gen I Chansey on this page because it's a TM, but there's no mention of ''since Generation II'' in Soft-Boiled's article?}}.

<br />
== Solosis line and Skill Swap? ==<br />
<br />
Does Skill Swap really count as being a signature move for the Solosis line? Sure, they were the first ones to be able to learn it by level up, but many others could learn it through other means. Heck, the move itself appeared two generations before the Pokémon did. If no one has any objections, I think it should be removed. --[[User:RiverAura|<font color="#00CCFF">River</font>]][[User_Talk:RiverAura|<font color="#00FFCC">Aura</font>]] 00:16, 15 January 2014 (UTC)<br />
:Yeah, it definitely doesn't fit since it can be taught by Move Tutor in the same Generation it's listed as being a signature move in. [[User:Glik|Glik]] ([[User talk:Glik|talk]]) 00:31, 15 January 2014 (UTC)<br />
<br />
== Event moves... ==<br />
<br />
Should Hold Back and Happy Hour really be considered signature moves? They're not naturally known by any Pokemon, and several moves that otherwise qualify as Signature moves on this list, such as Shift Gear, Spacial Rend and Fusion Bolt have been given to event Pokemon. The fact they're only known by 1 Pokemon seems meaningless since any Pokemon could (and in all probability, will) be given them. (And again, no Pokemon actually learns them naturally.)<br />
<br />
Incidentally, the list of "One-off signature moves" is rather incomplete. (Being both outdated, and lacking some earlier ones like XD's Frenzy Plant/Blast Burn/Hydro Cannon Gen 2 starters.)<br />
<br />
Given Egg Moves seem to be ignored, Whismur/Loudred/Exploud should have Sleep Talk as a signature move in Ruby/Sapphire and Spoink/Grumpig should have Magic Coat as a signature move in the entirety of Gen 3. If Hold Back and Happy Hour are deemed to be valid signature moves, then Snarl should be a signature move of Zoroark in Black/White since TM95 wasn't legitimately obtainable, and thus event Zoroark (or a trade back from BW2, which also shouldn't count, since otherwise it would disqualify things like Meowth's Gen 2 Pay Day) is the only Pokemon that can know it outside breeding in those games.

<hr />
<div>== What, exactly, does Trick-or-Treat do? ==<br />
<br />
Turns out that, unlike {{m|Soak}} in [[Generation V]], Trick-or-Treat does not change or negate the Pokemon's original typing -- use it against a dual-typed Pokémon and that Pokémon is now effectively '''triple-typed'''.<br />
<br />
I conducted the following experiment to evaluate this:<br />
# Find a wild {{type|Normal}} Pokemon (because Normal is immune to Ghost) and use Trick-or-Treat.<br />
# Test Ghost, Dark, and other types against the affected Pokemon.<br />
<br />
My results:<br />
* vs. pure Normal ({{p|Bidoof}}, {{p|Dunsparce}}):<br />
** Shadow Sneak had no effect (Normal influence).<br />
** {{m|Night Slash}} was supereffective (Ghost influence). {{m|Signal Beam}} was not very effective.<br />
<br />
* vs. Normal+Flying ({{p|Fletchling}} and {{p|Pidgey}}):<br />
** Shadow Sneak had no effect (Normal influence).<br />
** Discharge proved supereffective (Flying influence).<br />
** Night Slash proved supereffective (Ghost influence).<br />
<br />
* vs. {{p|Azurill}} (Normal+{{t|Fairy}}):<br />
** {{m|Shadow Sneak}} had no effect (Normal influence).<br />
** {{m|Night Slash}} inflicted neutral damage and was NOT supereffective (Fairy resists Dark).<br />
<br />
* vs. {{p|Litleo}} (Fire+Normal):<br />
** Surf proved supereffective (Fire influence).<br />
** Shadow Sneak failed to affect Litleo (Normal influence).<br />
** Night Slash proved supereffective (Ghost influence).<br />
<br />
* vs. {{p|Pumpkaboo}} (Ghost+Grass):<br />
** Trick-or-Treat failed outright.<br />

'''Pokémon Snap''' (Japanese: '''ポケモンスナップ''' ''Pokémon Snap'') is a [[Spin-off Pokémon games|spin-off]] [[Pokémon games|Pokémon game]] for the [[Nintendo 64]].<br />
<br />
In Pokémon Snap, the famous Pokémon Researcher, [[Professor Oak]], is studying Pokémon on [[Pokémon Island]], and invites [[Todd Snap]], a talented young [[photography|photographer]], to assist in his research. The only current inhabitants of Pokémon Island are wild Pokémon, making it the perfect place to study Pokémon in their natural habitat. Whereas a Trainer may not be able to resist catching the wild Pokémon of the island, Todd's photography skills may equally aid in the Professor's research to complete his {{OBP|Pokémon Report|Pokémon Snap}}.<br />
<br />
Rather than catching and training Pokémon, the goal is to explore Pokémon Island and photograph its inhabitant Pokémon. Travel is restricted to tracks designed for the [[ZERO-ONE]], and Todd's equipment includes his [[camera]], apples to use as [[Pokémon food]], [[Pester Ball]]s to knock out or stun Pokémon, and a [[Poké Flute]] to wake sleeping Pokémon. Some of these items Todd gains further into his journey, as well as earning the [[Dash Engine]] to increase the speed of the ZERO-ONE.<br />
<br />
==Blurb==<br />
Professor Oak needs your help!<br />
<br />
Professor Oak has asked you to capture the Wild Pokémon of Pokémon Island on film! Tour the Island in your ZERO-ONE vehicle and snap pictures of Pokémon in their natural habitat. Wild Pokémon are often camera-shy, so you'll have to use special items to bring them out in the open. Only the best shots will do for Professor's Pokémon Report so sharpen your photography skills and get ready to SNAP!<br />
<br />
* The first-ever N64 game to feature the world-famous Pokémon - fully rendered in 3-D!<br />
* Explore the many environments of Pokémon Island, like the sunny beach, the mysterious caves, and even a red-hot volcano!<br />
* Many different types of Pokémon inhabit the island. See how many you can catch on film!<br />

Pokémon Snap was re-released for the [[Wii]]'s Virtual Console on December 4, 2007 in Japan, December 10, 2007 in the US, December 11, 2007 in Europe, and December 14, 2007 in Australia. This version can upload pictures from the game to the {{wp|Wii Menu#Message Board|Wii's Message Board}}, where they can be transferred to people on the Wii's Address Book. <br />
<br />
In this rerelease, {{p|Jynx}} were recolored purple from the black they were in the original game, to reflect the changes in its design.<br />
<br />
==Reception==<br />
Fans were disappointed by the small number of courses, along with the fact that only 63 of the original 151 Pokémon were included. Despite this, the game received good reviews in the media, scoring a 7.8 on IGN, an 8.0 on GameSpot, and a 77 on Metacritic.<br />
<br />
==Trivia==<br />
* This game is one of two games that show Magnemite's evolution that is true to the Pokédex (the other being [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon]]). In Pokémon Snap, in order to evolve Magnemite, three Magnemite have to be gathered. This differs from the RPG Pokémon games and the anime, where three individual Magnemite are not needed. Ironically, this game also shows a form of Magneton that is not touched on in the anime. In the anime, Magneton is always seen in a connected triangle pattern. In Pokémon Snap, Magneton is seen as three Magnemite floating by themselves, totally unconnected, but in a perfect triangle.<br />
* Even though [[legendary Pokémon]] cannot be bred (at least, not in a breeding center), it is clearly shown that {{p|Articuno}}, {{p|Zapdos}}, and {{p|Moltres}} are in eggs, which shows they were bred in some sort of way.<br />
* Magikarp can be found in every course in the game (with the exception of [[Rainbow Cloud]]).<br />
* Despite being a Nintendo 64 title, only 63 of the then 151 Pokémon are in this game. {{p|Ekans}} can be seen in pre-release screenshots, indicating the number may have been 64 at some point in development.<br />
** Also, a few Pokémon were included without their evolved forms, most notably Pikachu.<br />
* This game was adapted into a {{book|Pokémon Snap|novel}} for the [[Pathways to Adventure]] series.<br />
* Although the game features voice acting from the TV series, certain Pokémon that were given new voices for the dub still have their original Japanese voice acting in the game. These include Metapod, Diglett, Dugtrio, Psyduck and Porygon who, at the time of the game's release, did not have a dub voice.<br />
* Originally, the game that would become Pokémon Snap was not a Pokémon game. Nintendo President Satoru Iwata himself mentioned that the game was originally "a normal game in which you took photos, but the motivation for playing the game wasn't clear." It wasn't until they introduced Pokémon into the game that HAL's Masanobu Yamamoto thought they had a clarified direction. "That time, adopting the Pokémon world clarified what we should do and the direction we should head, and I came to like Pokémon, so I felt like that had saved us."<ref>[http://iwataasks.nintendo.com/interviews/#/wii/kirbysepicyarn/0/3 Iwata Asks]</ref><br />
* In the [[Pokémon Island River|River]] course, {{p|Shellder}} are shown to be capable of levitating, an ability that is not demonstrated by them in any other media.<br />

So the name IS Ho-oh?<br />
<br />
<br />
Anybody got a screenshot to lay it down one way or another? [[User:Evkl|Evkl]] 19:48, 24 Feb 2005 (UTC)<br />
<br />
<br />
Evkl, the name is Ho-Oh. Check it out here:<br />
<br />
http://www.pokemon.com<br />
<br />
It also says that name in the Nintendo Power Pokémon Colosseum strategy guide, the Pokémon Official Pokédex book, Prima's strategy guide, Nintendo.com... The name *IS* Ho-Oh.<br />
<br />
Ledian_X<br />
<br />
All online refrences I've seen put a lowercase O. The games are utterly inconclusive, being in all caps... [[User:Evkl|Evkl]] 20:27, 24 Feb 2005 (UTC)<br />
<br />
Ditto to that. [[User:Surskitty|surskitty]]<br />
<br />
<br />
Don't forget the NP FireRed/LeafGreen guide and a poster from a fairly recent issue of Nintendo Power, which both use an uppercase "O". However, older official material, such as the NP Pokémon Crystal guide, say "Ho-oh", so I guess NOA changed its mind as some point. Right now I'm *considering* moving the article and updating all related pages to reflect this.<br />
[[User:Woopert|Woopert]] 20:41, 24 Feb 2005 (UTC)<br />
------------------------------------------------------------<br />
<br />
Uhh run that past Evkl first. I also got a screenshot confirmation that it is Ho-Oh. It was from the anime. The episode title screen and it says "For Ho-Oh, the Bell Tolls". It's also Ho-Oh in the Prima guide with the (TM) at the top. IIt's officially confirmed as Ho-Oh.<br />
<br />
Ledian_X<br />
<br />
Chris has shown me a screencap which includes a capital O, which is the closest to a canon source I've been able to find up until now. So I'm leaning towards Ho-Oh. [[User:Evkl|Evkl]] 20:53, 24 Feb 2005 (UTC)<br />
<br />
'''Note by evkl: The Prima guide is NOT Canon.'''<br />
<br />
Despite what I've said on AIM about its spelling, Pokemon.com [[http://www.pokemon.com/media/television/index.asp?ep=298 shows it as "Ho-oh"]] whereas I thought it listed otherwise. --[[User:Meowth346|Meowth346]] 00:09, 25 Feb 2005 (UTC)<br />
<br />
And to add the anime episode title, there's the GBA Video's page for [[https://www.nintendo.com/gamemini?gameid=2da810b1-52cf-48e7-bc01-a3f5ba83f95e the episode]] which uses "Ho-Oh" as said above. --[[User:Meowth346|Meowth346]] 04:22, 25 Feb 2005 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:What about in the cards? As in TCG? It says "Ho-oh"... [[User:Ht14|<span style="color:#D5AA00"><sup>''ht''</sup></span>]][[User talk:Ht14|<span style="color:#C0C0C0"><small>''14''</small></span>]] 03:13, 28 February 2009 (UTC)<br />
::They switched it to the Ho-Oh capitalization in {{TCG|EX Unseen Forces}} and never went back. Some people assumed this capitalization to be a mistake at first, but Mystery Dungeon 1 proved that "Ho-Oh" was now indeed the correct capitalization for the Pokémon's name. Just for the record: "Ho-oh" and "Ho-Oh" are considered the same name in the TCG for numbering purposes. --[[User:Shiningpikablu252|Shiningpikablu252]] 03:22, 28 February 2009 (UTC)<br />
<br />
==Ho-Oh in the anime==<br />
<br />
We know that Ho-Oh was the first Pokémon seen in the animé, in the first episode. This always led me to believe that Ho-Oh was infact invented by the animé creators, when making the sequals, they attempted to cash in on it by making it a proper Pokémon. (Highly similar to the release of Yellow infact) I also always thought that Marill was also created the same way, by the animé guys and then used in the games. (Although the showing of Marill and release of G/S are not half as far apart as the Ho-Oh appearance.) Anyway, I was wondering if there is any evidence at all to suggest Ho-Oh was made by the animé guys? And if maybe this is worth mentioning in the article, I always thought it was fishy at least. - [[User:Ferret|Ferret]] 10:29, 1 Apr 2005 (UTC)<br />
<br />
The stylistic similarities between the RBY generation of Pokemon and the GSC are high and so its likely that the first 251 pokemon were conceived at the same time hence why Ho-oh appears in the first episode. Afterall, there is apparently about 1000 original concept drawings by the original creator of pokemon so that suggests that a lot about the pokemon world was already finalised before the anime was in production.<br />
--[[User:Ainohuyuah|Ainohuyuah]] 12:24, 1 Apr 2005 (UTC)<br />
<br />
Why isnt this actually in the infomation? That it is the "Unknown Pokemon" from episodes 1-2 Indego League, I think it should be included --[[User:Denty|Denty]] 19:06 11 Mar 2010<br />
<br />
==Pronounciation== <br />
How is Ho-Oh pronounced? I think it's ''hutt-o'' or ''Ho-ho'' Well? [[User:Strong Intelligent|Strong Intelligent]]<br />
:I say 'Ho' and then 'Oh' as in 'Oh no'. But thats just me [[User:Takoto|<span style="color:#2E0854"><b>Takoto タコト</b></span>]]|<span style="color:#F4C2C2"> サソデイ = 愛</span> 09:54, 6 August 2008 (UTC)<br />

==Move Tutor in Crystal Version==<br />
<br />
I looked up Ho-oh in the Library at Earl's Pokémon Academy on Pokémon Stadium 2, and it says that Ho-oh can learn Flamethrower and Thunderbolt from the Move Tutor in Crystal. Is there any way of putting this in the article? [[User:Superbreeder|Superbreeder]] 21:20, 13 October 2008 (UTC)<br />
:That is already on Ho-Oh's Gen II learnset. That learnset can be found [[Ho-Oh_%28Pok%C3%A9mon%29/Generation_II_learnset#By_tutoring|here]].- [[User:Kogoro|<span style="color:#DA70D6;">'''Kogoro'''</span>]] '''|''' [[User talk:Kogoro|<span style="color:#FFB6C1;">'''Talk to me'''</span>]] '''|''' 21:22, 13 October 2008 (UTC)<br />
<br />
Okay, at least it's somewhere on BP. But why are'nt the Generation II moves that Pokémon used to learn but don't anymore (i.e. Hoppip had Pay Day on its Breeding Moveset in Generation II, but it doesn't anymore.) get included in the articles? If they were, it could be noted elsewhere. [[User:Superbreeder|Superbreeder]] 00:13, 15 October 2008 (UTC)<br />

==Platinum Sprite==<br />
There appears to be a Platinum Sprite on the page, practicly the same as the D/P sprite, should it be removed, or is there a difference? [[User:Lucario12|Lucario12]] 18:28, 3 December 2008 (UTC)<br />
:It is the exact same sprite. The Platinum sprite is a redirect to the Diamond & Pearl sprite.

== Edit War. ==<br />
<br />
People, could you ''please'' stop changing the trivia '''over and over''' again? You're making us decent Bulbapedians look bad. Thank you.<br />
:Love, [[User:ShinjiLover|ShinjiLover]], who is still trying to think of a better siggy.<br />
<br />
But it isn't good trivia. It's not unique, it isn't notable (IMO), and what about Spritomb? Why isn't it listed too? [[User:The Dark Fiddler|The Dark Fiddler]] - [[User talk:The Dark Fiddler|Smarter than the average bear!]] 21:21, 13 December 2008 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:Trivia is considered to be something that is interesting or something you might not have know/might not have thought about before. I asked TTEChidna what he thought and he said it was kind of interesting. The trivia is unique in that only the 2nd Generation of non-trio ūbers have this common and not with any other Pokémon. I don't really see why it's such a problem. <br />
:And Spiritomb only has 1 other Pokémon before it to have the same type as it. What makes Lugia's, Ho-Oh's, and Celebi's trivia interesting is that they all 3 are from generation 2, and that the 2 Pokémon with the same type combos come before them. Plus, Spiritomb does not have another Pokémon simliar to it (like Lugia and Ho-Oh are), and Sableye is Dark/Ghost while Spiritomb is Ghost/Dark. The types are not reversed for Charizard/Moltres/Ho-Oh, Natu/Xatu/Lugia, and Exeggcute/Exeggutor/Celebi. --'''[[User:InuMimi|<span style="color:#CC99CC">いぬ</span>]][[User talk:InuMimi|<span style="color:#CCCCCC">みみ</span>]]''' 21:40, 13 December 2008 (UTC)<br />

<br />
::::Now that you mention it...you're right. But Spiritomb was just released with the current generation while Ho-Oh's, Lugia's, and Celebi's type-combinations haven't been released with a Pokemon since generation 2. If in the next generation there are no ghost/dark (or vice versa), then we can mention this same kind of thing in Sableye's and Spiritomb's trivia section I guess. --'''[[User:InuMimi|<span style="color:#CC99CC">いぬ</span>]][[User talk:InuMimi|<span style="color:#CCCCCC">みみ</span>]]''' 23:55, 15 February 2009 (UTC)<br />
<br />
==Species?==<br />
<br />
I'm wondering if Ho-Oh is a species of Pokémon(The Anime proves there are multiple {{p|Lugia}}) or if there is only one of them? Does anyone have a canon source to verify this? [[User:Auxia|<span style="color:#B2958D"><sub>'''AUXIA'''</sub></span>]] <sub>(</sub>[[User talk:Auxia|<span style="color:#B2958D"><sub>''talk''</sub></span>]]<sub>)</sub> 00:26, 20 February 2009 (UTC)<br />
: Well, there is usually only one in each game, but I doubt the one that lives in Orre is the same one that is found in Johto. And then there's another one in the Sevii island too! Add to that the one in the anime and I'd say there's at least four of them. Just my oppinion. [[User:Taromon777|Taromon777]] 10:59, 13 May 2009 (UTC)<br />
: I've always gone under the impression that there are more than one of any Legendary Pokémon and you could just only ever meet one in the games. I mean, practically, no species can really exist indefinitely with only one member. Also, and this may be a bit of a stupid way of looking at it - but if they only had one of each species battling two on Wi-Fi would be impossible. So therefore by game canon, there must be more. But that's just what I think. <small>- ''[[User:Lucadan|Lucadan]] ([[User talk:Lucadan|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Lucadan|contribs]])''</small> 15:35, 22 June 2009 (UTC)<br />
:: I'm not sure about that, I think there are some legendaries which there are only one of, and there can only be one of (such as Arceus, Dialga, Mesprit etc). These Legendaries have to be unique, the storyline says that they have to be. I think that Ho-oh isn't unique though, although there's no way of really telling. It is a flying type, so it could well appear in each of the aforementioned reigons. [[User:Ggled|Ggled]] 20:15, 26 June 2009 (UTC)<br />
<br />
== 13th Movie ==<br />
<br />
Has anyone paid attention to Bulba News? Ho-Oh and Lugia have both been contirmed to be it the movie via tseaser after the movie. Could someone add info about this and take out the piece of trivia about Ho-Oh being one of two Pokémon not to be in a feature movie? [[User:ShinyPikachu|ŚĥîΠŶPî₭₳ĉĥŭ]] 00:28, 6 July 2009 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:Technically, nothing's really confirmed. Early data about [[Giratina and the Sky Warrior|movie 11]] suggested {{an|Palkia}} was going to play a major role in it. Jump to the finished product, and Palkia's got nothing but a few minor cameos. In the case of movie 13, we've only got a teaser trailer, one not even released to the public, to work on. My [[$1|2¢]]: It's still way too early to say anything's for certain. For all we know, a [[Generation V]] legendary or legendary wannabe steals the show, even if teaser trailer elements do turn out to be accurate. --[[User:Shiningpikablu252|Shiningpikablu252]] 00:48, 6 July 2009 (UTC)<br />

:That's not a bad idea, but it'd require a much larger page. Add that to the fact that many have that situation, such as Hippopotas (though minor) and Kyogre (major).

Ho-Oh on this page is using the Generation II Sugimori art, not the HG/SS art it should be using. Who switched it back to the outdated art? Several other Generation II Pokémon pages have similar errors but if this was meant for some kind of anniversary whatever it was is over now so the art should be changed back to the 4th Gen art for them, among the others with this problem include Magcargo as well as Ho-Oh, though Magcargo's art was just fine a while ago...

== Learnset - Weather Ball ==<br />
<br />
Ho-Oh learns Weather Ball, which can change type to Fire-Type, allowing Ho-Oh to have STAB from the attack. However, the attack is italicised in the Generation IV learnset list, which is supposed to indicate it gets STAB when it used by an evolution of Ho-Oh, which doesn't exist. I am not sure if the Weather Ball attack ought to be unitalicised or the template should be changed so that the text below the learnset list can be edited to allow for variations in Pokémon learnsets, so it could specify the requirements for Weather Ball to have STAB.<br />

==Dragon's Den?==<br />
<br />
It says in the anime section that a flame of Ho-oh burns in the Dragons den but I'm sure that flame is not from Ho-Oh, however there is one at Mt. Silver correct?

== Ho-Oh could be Ash's dad?? ==<br />
<br />
In the section about Ho-Oh's anime appearances there is this line: "Ho-Oh is said to be a very important character in the anime storyline and although it is a pokemon is rumoured to be a possible candidate for being Ash's father." Could someone tell me what the source of this information is, because it seems ridiculous. [[User:Whitewater257|Whitewater257]] 01:31, 22 April 2012 (UTC)<br />

<br />
== Name origin ==<br />
<br />
This is almost certainly blatantly wrong, but I have a thought about Ho-Oh's name origin. His name spells out the exact chemical structure of hydrogen peroxide, two hydroxide ions bonded together, the bond usually represented by a dash. In addition, hydrogen peroxide has medical purposes, and is used for healing; this could be analogous to Ho-Oh's revival of the Legendary Beasts in Ecruteak City. [[User:Tk3141|Tk3141]] 16:34, 1 May 2012 (UTC)<br />
:The part about it being used for healing is completely fallacious. Hydrogen Peroxide is a powerful oxidising agent. That may make it an effective bactericide, but it also makes it extremely toxic to human cells, causing scarring and chemical burns even with relatively dilute solutions. Any use as a bactericide is restricted to items.<br />
<br />
:I would find the name origin more plausible if it were a Water type, given Hydrogen Peroxide naturally decomposes to water. <span class="sc">[[User:Werdnae|<span style="color:#2D4B98;">Werdnae</span>]]</span> <small>[[User talk:Werdnae|<span style="color:#009000;">(talk)</span>]]</small> 00:01, 2 May 2012 (UTC)<br />

::Okay. The idea was pretty {{p|Farfetch'd}} anyway. [[User:Tk3141|Tk3141]] 21:54, 25 May 2012 (UTC)<br />
<br />
The etymology of Ho-oh is not derived from the Chinese FengHuang, but rather the Japanese equivalent which is simply called the Hō-ō. The mythologies of both oriental phoenixes are quite similar, the only difference is the name. Ho-oh is simply a morphed version of Hō-ō, which is the real Japanese version of the phoenix. Regards, [[User:Ashfire|Ashfire]] ([[User talk:Ashfire|talk]]) 04:49, 30 July 2012 (UTC)<br />
<br />
== Mythological Origin == <br />
<br />
I've been doing some reading, and research, and I personally believe that Ho oh is more closely related to the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vermilion_Bird Vermilion Bird], which I find is interesting, as in the page that discusses the origin of the bird, mentions nothing even remotely about the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vermilion_Bird Vermilion Bird]. but the mention of the bird is actually associated with {{p|Moltres}} who has much less in common with the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vermilion_Bird Vermilion Bird] than Ho oh does, and I think it's a pertinent reference, as the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vermilion_Bird Vermilion Bird] and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feng_Huang Feng Huang] are often confused on their own, and even visually, I think ho oh more likely resembles the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vermilion_Bird Vermilion Bird] rather than [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feng_Huang Feng Huang]. I'd like to hear other peoples thoughts on this and whether this should be incorporated or changed. [[User:Nehari|Nehari]] ([[User talk:Nehari|talk]]) 03:41, 19 March 2013 (UTC)<br />
:Honestly, aside from its body build, the Feng Huang seems to have more in common with Ho-Oh, particularly the fact it's multi-coloured (linking to the frequent mentions of Ho-Oh being rainbow coloured), unlike the red Vermilion Bird. Wikipedia's article also notes that Feng Huang are said to appear only in places of utmost peace, which ties in with its Crystal, Diamond/Pearl/Platinum and Generation V Pokedex entries. Plus the whole Dragon/Feng Huang relationship, since Lugia's likely primarily based on a dragon of some sort. And Ho-Oh's name. Also, I'm not even sure the Vermilion Bird is classed as a kind of phoenix (it's not mentioned in Wikipedia's Phoenix article at all, aside from in the "see also", and it's not mentioned to be a phoenix in its own article, either), whereas the Feng Huang is. I see no real evidence that it's based on a Vermilion Bird at all, aside from possible visual design influences.

o_O Why on Earth does Struggle have a Contest description? --Ketsuban<br />

1) There's one template that encompasses both move and contest info. 2) Maybe Struggle just happens to have those statistics in-built anyway? - [[User:Ferret|Ferret]] 19:00, 23 Apr 2005 (UTC)<br />
<br />
That's what was in Meowth's database anyway. I had some discussion with him on how to prove it, and he suggested {{m|Sketch}}ing it - but in light of recent data, that wouldn't work. - [[User:Zhen Lin|振霖]]<sub>[[User talk:Zhen Lin|T]]</sub> 00:37, 24 Apr 2005 (UTC)<br />
<br />
Oops, I meant that if you have, say, a Smeargle with only one move, Sketch, and use it, and after using it in the contest, it wouldn't have any PP, so Struggle would be forced next. But since contests don't use PP, it wouldn't work to do. --[[User:Meowth346|Meowth346]] 03:36, 24 Apr 2005 (UTC)<br />

* {{p|Piloswine}}, which evolves into {{p|Mamoswine}} when leveled up knowing this move, has been able to learn it by breeding since the move's introduction. This trait is shared with {{m|Rollout}}, which has had a similar history with {{p|Lickitung}}.<br />
* There are only seven Pokémon that can learn AncientPower and both of its [[Move variations|variations]]: {{p|Mew}}, {{p|Togetic}}, {{p|Togekiss}}, {{p|Yanma}}, {{p|Yanmega}}, {{p|Giratina}}, and {{p|Smeargle}} (via {{m|Sketch}}).<br />

In Gen. III, only Charizard, Venusaur and Blastoise could learn [[Blast Burn]], [[Frenzy Plant]] and [[Hydro Cannon]], respectively. The Johto starters could learn it too, but only by being traded from XD (just like [[Lugia]] and [[Psycho Boost]]).

== About evolved forms ==<br />
<br />
Should stone-induced evolved forms be listed? {{p|Pikachu}} and {{p|Raichu}} appear in the article. However, the species that actually learns {{m|Volt Tackle}} is {{p|Pichu}} (making the [[Pokémon Battle Revolution#Colosseums|Battle Revolution Pikachu]] a [[Signature move#Trivia|trivia section]] material). If Raichu can appear in the list, then {{p|Togekiss}} and {{p|Mismagius}} should, too. --[[User:Johans|Johans]] 20:36, 22 September 2007 (UTC)<br />
:No, I think that only the Pokémon that learns the move should be listed. So Pichu should be listed, but it's evolutions shouldn't. Only if the evolution learns the move then they an be listed. So both Cubone and Marowak learn Bonemerang, therefore both should be listed. <small>[[User:Tesh|<span style="color:#FF594F;">'''TESH'''</span>]]</small><small>[[User Talk:Tesh|<span style="color:#5FA7C6;">'''TALK'''</span>]]</small> 15:57, 28 October 2007 (UTC)<br />
<br />
==Splash?==<br />
<br />
Would [[Splash (move)|Splash]] be eligible for inclusion here? A bunch of Pokémon can learn the move nowadays, but back in Generation I it was very much [[Magikarp (Pokémon)|Magikarp]]'s trademark. A similar case is already included on the list (Petal Dance, which was exclusive to the Oddish line in Generation I). [[User:Bikini Miltank|Bikini Miltank]] 08:48, 20 November 2007 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:You're right, according to the current status of the article. But I think that kind of moves shouldn't appear in the list. IMO, in any case, [[Generation III]] stuff is the only past generation that should be mentioned, as it's compatible with [[Generation IV]], but I still don't like the idea.<br />
:I take it this all started with the ExtremeSpeed Dratini from the trivia section, right? Well, that Dratini is obsolete, too. I propose we get rid of ExtremeSpeed Dratini and there won't be need for the ExtremeSpeed Arcanine and the other obsolete groups. --[[User:Johans|Johans]] 16:18, 20 November 2007 (UTC)<br />
<br />
NO! Lol, we should split this article into each Generation, with a trivia section for Pokémon that do not learn a move naturally. Like Dratini in GenII. I think this would be better. <big><sub>[[User:Tesh|<span style="color:#F05030;">'''TESH'''</span>]]</sub><sub>[[User Talk:Tesh|<span style="color:#5C8CFA;">'''TALK'''</span>]]</sub> <sub>[[User:Tesh/Other|<span style="color:#EEC226;">'''FUN'''</span>]]</sub></big> 16:20, 20 November 2007 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:Yeah... one of the things I was going to suggest was listing the likes of Splash, ExtremeSpeed and so on in a seperate table, for moves that were once exclusive to a single line, but aren't anymore. I think these moves are certainly worth mentioning somewhere in the article, as they might still be relevant to someone who's playing any of the older games.

This article NEEDS some cleanup... some signature moves don't make sense and some are in a lot of pokemon, so they should be removed.

I'll add Splash becoz only Magikarp had Splash in Gen I with an asterix sign, while Meteor Mash also becoz there are some moves listed here that have more than one move per pokémon, usally two.

And Icicle Spear, Smelligsalt and Vacuum Wave I'll add becoz Octazooka is here which can also be bred. These moves are VERY free to undo if u wish.

==This page is in need of SERIOUS clean-up.==<br />
<br />
Some moves are counted as signature when they're limited to one Pokémon. Some are counted when they're limited to two Pokémon. Some three Pokémon. Where's the limit? I think two families should be the most.(Branched families are fine.) I'd prefer only one family, but I'll accept anything, just agree on something.<br />
<br />
Some moves are counted as "signature" if they're limited to one(or a few) Pokémon NATURALLY...other moves are counted if they're limited OVERALL. I think that TMs/HMs/tutors/"bonus" moves should not matter, Waterfall is still Goldeen and Seaking's signature move. I'd accept the other way too, but it needs to be CONSISTENT.<br />
<br />
Not to mention a few of the asterisks are wrong...and some without asterisks could use some. Or it could be split to generations, but I think asterisks work just fine.<br />
<br />
The Pikachu that knows Volt Tackle doesn't need to be in the one-off section. Yes, it's only Pichu's signature move...but Pikachus can normally learn it by evolving from Pichu! Pikachu shouldn't be in the table, that is correct, but it doesn't need to be in the one-off either. That should be for examples that COULD NOT happen otherwise, like the Dratini with ExtremeSpeed.[[User:Flint A|Flint A]] 20:09, 20 June 2009 (UTC)<br />
:My opinion is that if a move can be learned by any or all of the Pokémon of '''one''' family naturally or by TM, it is a signature move. If a move is shared with an other family or it is a TM that can be used or a move tutor move that can be taught on more than the family in question, it is not a signature move. Event Pokémon are obviously excluded. <font color="#3fff00">'''UltimateSephiroth'''</font> <sup>([[User:UltimateSephiroth|<font color="#3f7f00">about me</font>]] · [[User talk:UltimateSephiroth|<font color="#3f7f00">chat</font>]] · [[Special:Contributions/UltimateSephiroth|edits]])</sup> 22:48, 20 June 2009 (UTC)<br />
::That sounds fine to me, a more "exclusive" definition of signature move. Although if something was a signature move at one point, I'd expect it there with an asterisk.

==GrassWhistle==<br />
In GenerationIII, Roselia was the only one who could learn GrassWhistle by leveling up(to lv 29). There are many other pokemon that can learn it now in Generation IV, but it used to be a move unique only to Roselia(by level up). --[[User:PKFL 531|PKFL 531]] 01:38, 30 October 2009 (UTC)<br />
<br />
==Removing moves==<br />
<br />
Before I edit the actual page, I want to see if everyone agrees to this. <br />
<br />
I was thinking of removing the following moves since they're "Signature" titles are questionable:<br />
<br />
-----------------------<br />
-{{m|Petal Dance}}<br />
<br />
-{{m|Crush Claw}}<br />
<br />
-{{m|Splash}}<br />
<br />
-{{m|Super Fang}}<br />
<br />
-{{m|Beat Up}}<br />

-{{m|Pain Split}}<br />

-{{m|FeatherDance}} <br />

-{{m|Weather Ball}}<br />

-{{m|Extrasensory}}<br />
<br />
-{{m|Megahorn}}<br />
<br />
-{{m|Waterfall}}<br />
<br />
-{{m|Leaf Blade}}<br />
--------------------------<br />
<br />
Yes yes, I know that's quite a lot of moves to pick out. But let's be honest, These moves are a little too common to be "Signature" thanks to other Pokémon showing up or Pokémon learning said moves via Breeding, Level up, Move tutor, TM/HM etc.<br />
<br />
If you don't agree with this, I'll ignore this. Or if you want only a specific move or two gone, I'll only get rid of those instead.<small>- ''unsigned comment from {{u|Ninterror}} ([[User talk:Ninterror|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Ninterror|contribs]]) ''</small><br />

<br />
Many of those moves are already noted as being signature moves prior to a Generation, as the person above said. However, Beat Up, Crush Claw, Pain Split, Feather Dance, Assist and Extrasensory, are different. They're signature moves in that only a select few Pokémon learn ''by level up'', but can be taught in other ways. In the "Other signature move examples" section, such things are noted, where a move is learned by more than one Pokémon but only by one by level up. I say we move the mentioned moves to a whole new section for "Level Up Signature Moves", where we list the signature moves if we go by moves learned through level and not by tutor or TM or breeding.

== Former Signature moves! ==<br />

<br />
== Overhaul ==<br />
<br />
Alright, I went for it and changed the main body to only refer to Generation IV signature moves. The list of former signature moves near the bottom might be better as some sort of table, but I'm not good at making tables and it wouldn't be like just copying the first table, as we'd need "unsignature" dates. Also, that list should not be considered comprehensive; it's just the ones that were there already plus the ones from the old list. There might be some missing.<br />
<br />
The only controversial change I think is that I specifically limited signature moves to one evolutionary family only, but I seem to see quite a bit of support for that on the talk page and I feel it's the only sensible decision myself.<br />

<br />
== "prior to gen ..." signature moves ==<br />
<br />
If, according to te article, Signature moves are by definition only learned by either a single Pokémon or a small group of Pokémon, then a lot of the moves listed that say they were signature moves prior to a certain generation were still signature moves, (in cases such as extemespeed, for at least until the generation after) as the definition in no way implies that the pokémon that can learn it have to be related by evolution it just states either that the move can be learned only as a level up move and even then, only by a small number of Pokémon or that the move can only be learned by level up by a small number of pokémon (in which case almost all, if not all are still signature moves). because even though the way the definition is phrased it can be rephrased either way it most certainly can't be rephrased both ways because they are different from meanings from eachother but are synonyms to different definitions of the phrase that defines signature moves. [[User:Juarmo|Juarmo]] 05:07, 11 October 2010 (UTC)<br />
<br />
==Ultimate Starter Type Moves==<br />
techinically, the elemental hyper beams would be no less signature moves of the gen 1 starter evolutions in gen 3 than deoxys and its psycho boost (as purified shadow Lugia knew it). In fact, probably less of one as you catch the Lugia but you recieve the XD Jhoto starters from an event (albeit an in game one but still) also if Oddish and Glooms signature that ceased to be a signature by Gen 2 is on the list shouldn't arcanine and his extremespeed be on the list too. if i remember correctly dragon's den dratini didn't count towards extremespeed not still being arcanine's signature move in gen 2 so why should the XD Jhoto starters they're both in game events.

*Limited means: A few other pokes can learn it as well by leveling up or by breeding.<br />
*LU exclusive means: The move is exclusive to a certain poke line by leveling up, but several other pokes can learn it by breading or tutoring.<br />
*Common means: The move is now available to a plenty of pokes. Only mentioned if the move used to be exclusive.<br />
*N/A means: it didn't exist that gen.<br />

<br />
== My definition of 'Signature Move' ==<br />
<br />
I say the definition should be "A move that a Pokémon is best known for." As a result, this means that a move that is common can be the signature move of another Pokémon (for example, Rollout can be learned by several different kinds of Pokémon, but Geodude's evolutionary family may have it as their signature move, because Graveler is said to use it often down mountains in Firered's description of it). Another example is Psycho Cut - Gallade would most likely have the attack as its signature move had this description of signature move been used. --[[User:Psyblade|Psyblade]] 18:43, 27 January 2011 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:I think it's a very good point, however, Pokédex entries sometimes state misleading facts, such as Dusclops learning {{m|Hypnosis}}, which it actually can't. So, although a good definition of "signature move", I don't think it's good enough to point Pokédex entries in the article.

Both of these are only listed under Former Signature Moves, however both have two current signature moves. Bone Rush, out. Bone Club and Bonemerang, good. So why aren't Cubone and Marowak under the current signature moves? [[User:Ikarishipper900|Ikarishipper900]] 01:10, 13 July 2011 (UTC)<br />

== Current definition is SERIOUSLY flawed! ==<br />
<br />
The current definition of signature move here is '''seriously''' flawed. The definition should be the move the Pokémon is most known for, not any random move that is exclusive to it. While at times moves that a Pokémon is most known for may also be exclusive to it (such as Smeargle's Sketch), that is not always the case. For example, even though Charizard was the only Pokémon able to learn Blast Burn prior to XD, Charizard is never shown using it in any Pokémon media; usually Charizard is shown using Flamethrower, and in the anime, Seismic Toss. Furthermore, Charizard is a Gen I Pokémon, and it is absurd to say that a Gen III move is its signature move, considering Charizard predates Gen III.<br />
<br />
I really think the definition should be corrected here. [[User:Andros 1337|Andros 1337]] 00:05, 10 August 2011 (UTC)<br />
:I don't think it's flawed at all. A signature move exclusive to that Pokémon. Meaning that the move can only be learned by that Pokémon. While Rollout is well know for a Miltank for example that doesn't make it a signature move. Sketch is a signature move because only one Pokémon can learn it and that is Smergle. This was discussed before. [[User:Pokemaster97|<span style="color:Blue;">--Pokemaster</span>]][[User talk:Pokemaster97|<span style="color:Blue;">97</span>]] 00:09, 10 August 2011 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:Random move? How is it a random move when it's '''a move that can only be learned by a single Pokémon or its family'''? Just because a certain move is showed off more by a certain Pokémon does not mean it's its signature. Signature refers to a Pokémon's exclusive move which means it can only be learned by a certain Pokémon or at a certain time.<br />
<br />
:Your definition seems to be judged by what you have seen in the anime which is biased to all other media. All things should relate to the game which are used universally. Might as well say BubbleBeam is Piplup's signature move and Thunderbolt is Pikachu's. --[[Tracey Sketchit|<span style="color:#33CC66;">'''ケンジ'''</span>]][[User talk:Kenji-girl|<span style="color:#6600CC;">'''の'''</span>]][[User:Kenji-girl|<span style="color:#FF00CC;">'''ガール'''</span>]] 00:18, 10 August 2011 (UTC)<br />
::What about Ditto's Transform, which is obviously Ditto's signature move because it is Ditto's ONLY move, despite the fact that Mew can learn Transform as well? The fact is, Charizard is never shown using Blast Burn in the anime or any other Pokémon media besides the main games. Also, consider that Blast Burn is a tutored move, not a level-up move.

<br />
:::Leveling up has nothing to do with it. Volt Tackle is an egg move that is bred on to Pichu. There's also Meloetta who can only learn its signature move through tutoring. And again, the amount of times the move is shown in the anime has nothing to do with it. In the defense of Transform, Mew has the capability of learning every move through the move tutor in XD from Generation III and below. Though I'll give you that Mew can learn that one by level up.

== V-create still a signature move? ==<br />
Now that {{p|Rayquaza}} knows {{m|V-create}} via event (the same way that Victini learns it), is V-create still Victini's signature move, is it both Victini's and Rayquaza's, or is it not a signature move at all? Personally, I'd remove it from the list for now, since now it's a one-off move for both Victini ''and'' Rayquaza. --[[User:Darthrai|Darthrai]] 19:35, 20 January 2012 (UTC)<br />
<br />
:You make a lot of sense, and I'd certainly wait for more people to weigh in. However, I think that the name of V-Create certainly points it to it being a signature move of Victini, since many things about Victini are closely associated with the letter ''V''. There isn't really a set standard to which we can hold a "signature move," so I think claiming its status as "debatable" is appropriate. --[[User:Politoed666|<span style="color:#00B7EB">''P''</span> <span style="color:#008080">''o''</span>]] [[User talk:Politoed666|<span style="color:#0095B6">''L''</span> <span style="color:#00CCCC">''i''</span>]] 20:27, 20 January 2012 (UTC)<br />

::There's a bunch a moves on the list that are like that. Why change it now? Personally, I don't think we should change the status of a signature move just because of an event. They do that all the time. Like the Victini from the movie with Zekrom and Reshiram's moves and the Lugia from XD with Deoxys's move. Rayquaza cannot normally get that move and unless it is normal, then we shouldn't worry about it. --[[Tracey Sketchit|<span style="color:#33CC66;">'''ケンジ'''</span>]][[User talk:Kenji-girl|<span style="color:#6600CC;">'''の'''</span>]][[User:Kenji-girl|<span style="color:#FF00CC;">'''ガール'''</span>]] 00:22, 21 January 2012 (UTC)<br />

<br />
::: Agreed - V-create was made for Victini (and I think that I made that clear on the page), but neither Victini nor Rayquaza can learn it through normal gameplay (both of them learn it via event). As for it being a signature move because it was made for Victini, I think {{m|Megahorn}} presents a similar case (though not to the same degree). It was made for {{p|Heracross}} in Generation II (why else would a generic horn attack be Bug-type?) until they made all sorts of other Pokémon, both old and new, able to learn it in future generations. Now, V-create is much more "characteristic" of Victini and probably won't become a widespread move, but having aesthetics and themes associated with a certain Pokémon doesn't seem like a criterion for being a signature move at the moment according to the page's description (we can always change it though). [[User:Darthrai|Darthrai]] 04:15, 21 January 2012 (UTC)<br />
:::: I personally don't feel it applies to what the meaning of signature move is as it says it can be learned by level up '''or other means'''. Think of it this way. If Relic Song is given by event to another Pokémon, say Cresselia, does that mean it's not Meloetta's signature move anymore because it doesn't learn it by level up even though that's what changes its form? Some common sense should be used in these instead of following the definition so strictly. If the Pokémon itself has an obvious connection to the move we should take that into consideration. --[[Tracey Sketchit|<span style="color:#33CC66;">'''ケンジ'''</span>]][[User talk:Kenji-girl|<span style="color:#6600CC;">'''の'''</span>]][[User:Kenji-girl|<span style="color:#FF00CC;">'''ガール'''</span>]] 00:35, 24 January 2012 (UTC)<br />

::::::Actually, it's not as simple as that. The thing is, Meloetta can learn Relic Song via tutor; if the same tutor could be used to teach it to Cresselia, I wouldn't personally consider it Meloetta's signature move anymore (since they can both obtain the move on ''equally'' favorable terms). However, if Cresselia got the move via event, I'd still personally consider it Meloetta's signature move, since Meloetta obtains it on ''more'' favorable terms. Right now, Victini and Rayquaza both know V-create on ''equally'' favorable terms (a one-off move for both Pokémon); however, you're right that we should consider if the Pokémon has an obvious connection to the move, so we should make that clear.

::::And Dialga and Palkia know Roar of Time and Spacial Rend via level-up, whereas Darkrai and Arceus only know it via event. It's not the same. Still, the current definition and status is good, I just think it's worth noting that Rayquaza and Victini both get V-create through similar methods despite it being Victini's signature move.

::::By the definition of signature move, V-create is not Victini's signature move. However, it is a move that is associated with Victini. So based on Victini's associations with the move, you could say that it is its "signature move", but that is not the definition of signature move. To keep the definition firm, we cannot consider it to be Victini's signature move unless it learns it via a method other than event, like how we didn't consider it Victini's signature move until it was distributed with it. So what should happen is this; V-create should not be listed as a signature move of Victini, but it should most certainly be listed under "Other signature move examples". --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|<span style="color:#A70000">'''Snorlax'''</span>]][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|<span style="color:#0000A7">'''Monster'''</span>]] 14:54, 30 January 2012 (UTC)<br />
Can I suggest that, perhaps, V-Create isn't a Signature Move, so much as an Event Move? It's a move that cannot be known by any pokemon except perhaps via an Event, at least at a certain point. Another example would be Volt Tackle, which, until the release of Pokemon Emerald, couldn't be learned by any pokemon, or Kinesis, which couldn't be learned by any pokemon until Pokemon Yellow. Note that an "Event Move" wouldn't necessarily have been released via Event, it's just that, without an event, it would be unavailable up to a certain time (this could include moves only found as egg moves up to a certain point, if any exist). And on a side note, if a pokemon uses Metronome, and then Smeargle Sketches it, will it learn Metronome, or the resulting move? I ask because, if Smeargle sketches the metronomed move, then it would be possible for it to sketch Volt Tackle in RS/FRLG, or V-Create in DP. [[User:Aielyn|Aielyn]] 15:19, 1 February 2012 (UTC)<br />
:Another example of an Event move is a little more literal than the others - Snarl. At this time, it is only available through obtaining an Event Zoroark, and then breeding it to other pokemon from there. However, once another event, the Lock Capsule, is made available, it will be available as a TM... but still, it's an Event Move, since you need an event to access it in either case. [[User:Aielyn|Aielyn]] 06:56, 2 February 2012 (UTC)<br />
:Those are more "delayed release moves" than "event" moves. And I don't think it is really that relevant (by your definition, {{m|Kinesis}} is both a signature move and an "event move").

::Isn't "delayed release" just another word for "event", in this context? After all, you can catch Mew in Emerald, but you can't do so until a delayed release event. When Ruby/Sapphire were released, one couldn't legitimately get Volt Tackle. Not knowing how they'd give you access to the move, wouldn't it be reasonable to consider it an event-exclusive move? That the "event" ended up being "the release of Emerald" is irrelevant to this point. And yes, Kinesis would be both an event move and a signature move - nothing wrong with that. It was an event move in Red/Blue, and then a signature move after that. Volt Tackle was an event move in RS/FRLG, and a signature move after that. V-Create is currently an event move. It may happen that, with the "third version" release, Victini will be able to learn V-Create by move tutor or level up, in which case it would be a signature move. Until the move can be "learned", it really can't be called a signature move. It is ''speculated'' that the move was made for Victini, but it's only speculation, it hasn't been confirmed. It's entirely possible that, come the next pokemon game, it will be Rayquaza that learns it naturally, and not Victini... would that make it a Rayquaza signature move? [[User:Aielyn|Aielyn]] 04:37, 3 February 2012 (UTC)<br />
:::The reason I used "delayed release" over "event" is because event specifically refers to things only available via event distributions, which is not true of things like Kinesis and Volt Tackle. It is unreasonable to assume a move is an event move if it has not been released yet—those are "unreleased moves" ({{m|Sacred Sword}} and {{m|Relic Song}} of course are exceptions due to being triggered by events, and {{m|Snarl}} was as well before it was available due to the event TM). However, I'm not really sure how this "event move" argument is relevant here anyway. And Mew in Emerald is still event-exclusive. However, I agree with you that it is not currently a signature move, and that it may become one again in the next game. Also, I highly doubt Rayquaza will learn it outside of events if Victini doesn't—however, it is possible that if there is a move tutor, they would both be able to learn it. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|<span style="color:#A70000">'''Snorlax'''</span>]][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|<span style="color:#0000A7">'''Monster'''</span>]] 10:03, 3 February 2012 (UTC)<br />
::::The relevance is that it gives an argument towards ''not'' including V-Create on this page. Indeed, I'd argue that, even prior to the event Rayquaza, it was not a Signature Move, because the move was only available through an event, and thus couldn't be reliably associated with Victini, even if Victini was the only one that had gotten it. Let me give you a hypothetical analogy. Suppose that, during Gen III, an event occurred for FRLG, where you got a Voltorb that knows Volt Tackle. Would that make Volt Tackle a Voltorb signature move? I mean, it has "Volt" in it, and only Voltorb would have it. I'd argue that, until the move is part of a pokemon's available moveset without an event, it cannot be a signature move.

==I'm sorry...==<br />
...but your definition of "signature move" is seriously flawed. Any definition of the term that doesn't allow Transform and Moonlight to be categorized as Ditto and Umbreon's respective signature moves is just wrong. So what if there were few other Pokémon who learned it in the generation it was introduced on? We're too worried about following rules and guidelines to the point that we're sacrificing common sense. Everyone considers Transform to Ditto's signature move despite Mew (who is only a event Pokémon and thus didn't even exist for the average player back in the Gen I days) learning it, too. And considering that Espeon's signature move is Morning Sun, it's obvious that the developers intended Moonlight to be considered the signature move of his counterpart, Umbreon. - [[User:Ericss|Ericss]] 17:53, 3 March 2012 (UTC)<br />
:I can see Ditto being an exception. But Umbereon and Moonlight? I never once thought of it being a signature move for Umbreon. And they only reason we consider it a signature for Espeon in Gen II is because it was the only Pokémon that could learn it.<br />

:Anyway, please look a few sections up to see the definition of "signature". It means ''distinctive''.

== Signature Move recovery ==<br />
<br />
Ok, "Also, some of these moves can be passed down via breeding to other Pokémon or are known by certain event Pokémon." Well how about Signature Move recovery? Sometimes there's only one Pokémon able to learn a move in that generation: Skarmory and Steel Wing for exemple, but because many Pokémon can learn it in a previous generation it isn't a Signature Move. This means that if TM 47 hadn't existed in gen 3 and 4 but in gen 5, Steel Wing would've been Skarmory's Signature Move for two generations and it would've lost this status in gen 5. But now its reversed and so it means Steel Wing isn't Skarmory's Signature Move in any generation!? I personally don't think so. And by the way Mega Kick is Hitmonlee's Signature Move, but there many Pokémon able to learn it in Firered and Leafgreen. So that's why Steel Wing (still for exemple) has to be Skarmory Signature Move. [[User:Nickvang|Nickvang]] ([[User talk:Nickvang|talk]]) 14:40, 12 June 2012 (UTC)<br />
:I agree. They have been added. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|<span style="color:#A70000">'''Snorlax'''</span>]][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|<span style="color:#0000A7">'''Monster'''</span>]] 11:22, 16 June 2012 (UTC)<br />
<br />
== One table more. ==<br />
<br />
In 'Other signature move examples' are many exemples of moves which only one evolutionary line can learn by leveling up, but can be learned by other Pokémon too via TM. Could we give those exemples their own table? Just like the one for the real signature moves. This would make the page a little more clear. [[User:Nickvang|Nickvang]] ([[User talk:Nickvang|talk]]) 19:42, 28 July 2012 (UTC)<br />
:Squirtle's evolutionary family and Sharpedo are the only Pokémon to learn Skull Bash by leveling up, but other Pokémon could learn it through TM40 in Generation I.<br />
Sudowoodo is the only Pokémon to learn Mimic by leveling up in Generation II, but other Pokémon could learn it through TM31 in Generation I and Move Tutor in Generation III.<br />
In Generations II, IV and V and Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire, Hitmonlee is the only Pokémon who can learn Mega Kick. However, in Generation I and Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen, others could learn it through TM and Move Tutor respectively.<br />
Unown can learn only Hidden Power; however, almost every other Pokémon can learn it via TM10 in Generation II and beyond.<br />
Although several Pokémon can learn it by TM, until Generation III only Diglett and Dugtrio could learn Dig by level up.<br />
Prior to Generation V, Vigoroth is the only Pokémon to learn Focus Punch by leveling up, although many other Pokémon can learn it via TM01.<br />
Porygon-Z is the only Pokémon to learn Trick Room by leveling up, although that move can be learned via TM92.<br />
Almost every Pokémon is able to learn Facade via TM42. However, Chimchar is the only one to learn it by leveling up prior to Generation V.<br />
Although only Panpour and its evolution are the only Pokémon to learn Scald by leveling up, other Pokémon can learn it via TM55.<br />
Also, Pansage is currently the only Pokémon to learn Grass Knot by leveling up, yet other Pokémon can learn it via TM86.<br />
Kadabra and Alakazam are the only Pokémon to learn Ally Switch by leveling up, but other Pokémon can learn it through TM51 in Generation V.<br />
Sawk is the only Pokémon to learn Rock Smash by leveling up, but other Pokémon can learn it through TM94 in Generation V.<br />
Emolga is the only Pokémon to learn Volt Switch by leveling up, but other Pokémon can learn it through TM72 in Generation V. [[User:Nickvang|Nickvang]] ([[User talk:Nickvang|talk]]) 19:47, 28 July 2012 (UTC)<br />
<br />
== Do skill swap and steel wing really count as signature moves? ==<br />
<br />
I think something should only be considered a signature more IF only one Pokémon or only the Pokémon from one evolutionary line can learn it since the beginning. But I wouldn't say that steel wing is really Skarmory's signature move since it was a TM earlier on. Yeah, it's no longer a TM, but that doesn't make it Skarmory's signature move all of a sudden.<br />
<br />
Also regarding skill swap, that's also a move that used to be a TM, so I wouldn't say it's a signature move either. What do you guys think? [[User:TheBlazikenMaster|TheBlazikenMaster]] ([[User talk:TheBlazikenMaster|talk]]) 15:18, 22 March 2013 (UTC)<br />
:Steel Wing is definitely a signature move, because even though it was a TM for several generations, Skarmory learned it by level up in all those generations as well, and was the ''only'' Pokemon to learn it by level up. If anything, I think it should be listed as Skarmory's signature move in Gen 2-5 instead of just 5. Skill Swap is a slightly trickier matter that will probably require a more refined definition of "signature move" to resolve satisfactorily one way or the other.<br />
:Personally, I think we should refine the definition so that it doesn't matter if a plethora of Pokemon can learn a move by a "lower"/"less common" method (i.e. TMs, Move Tutors, events); as long as only one family can learn it by level up, that is its signature move. (And if nothing learns it by level up and only one thing learns it by another method, that's also a signature move, of course.) But that's just my opinion. [[User:Pumpkinking0192|Pumpkinking0192]] ([[User talk:Pumpkinking0192|talk]]) 16:01, 22 March 2013 (UTC)<br />
::In that case would you say that {{m|return}} is {{p|Lopunny}}'s signature move? Sure, that move was introduced long before Loponny was but Lopunny is the only Pokémon that learns it by level up. [[User:TheBlazikenMaster|TheBlazikenMaster]] ([[User talk:TheBlazikenMaster|talk]]) 16:12, 22 March 2013 (UTC)<br />
:::That's why I said Skill Swap (which is in the same boat) is a tricky matter. There should probably be a provision where widely/universally-available TMs like Return aren't signature moves unless the one Pokémon that learns it by level up has been able to learn it at least as long as the move has been a TM. On the other hand, something like Softboiled was obviously Chansey's signature move even in Gen 1, in which nothing learned it by level up and the TM was only learnable by Chansey and Mew (which, of course, can learn anything). Of course, those are both extremes on opposite sides of the spectrum, and examples that are somewhere in the middle (like Skill Swap) are more difficult to figure. [[User:Pumpkinking0192|Pumpkinking0192]] ([[User talk:Pumpkinking0192|talk]]) 17:24, 22 March 2013 (UTC)<br />
<br />
== A few things... ==<br />
<br />
First... Why don't egg moves disqualify a signature move? Due to them, moves like Present and Beat Up are VERY widespread, compared to moves like Softboiled and Needle Arm that get disqualified for very small numbers of other Pokemon.<br />
Second... Why does Volt Tackle count as a Pikachu signature when it can't learn it by any means itself? (It can only get it by evolving a Pichu that knows it <which should also qualify Raichu and a bunch of other families' Pokemon if this counts> or by events <which have been noted to generally not count>.)<br />
Third... Why does Sacred Sword (and relatedly, Fusion Flare/Bolt) count as a signature move for the Swords of Justice (who aren't technically related by family) when Rolling Kick (which only Hitmonlee and Hitmontop, who are related, can learn, excluding egg moves) doesn't from Generation 2 onwards?<br />
Fourth... Needle Arm isn't learned by anything other than Cacnea/Cacturne in Generation 4, either. (It's only marked as being signature in Generation 3.)<br />
Fifth... Only the Whismur line learned Sleep Talk, except by breeding, in Ruby and Sapphire.<br />

'''Shellder''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''シェルダー''' ''Shellder'') is a {{type|Water}} Pokémon.<br />
<br />
It [[Evolution|evolve]]s into {{p|Cloyster}} when exposed to a {{evostone|Water Stone}}.<br />
<br />
==Biology==<br />
===Physiology===<br />
Shellder have a two-piece, purplish-blue shell with four spikes, two on the top shell and two on the bottom shell. They use their shell for propulsion in swimming by rapidly closing and opening the two halves. Shellder have a large, red tongue which they use for burrowing. Their inner body is round, black, and {{DL|List of Pokémon by body style|Pokémon consisting of only a head|shaped similar to a pearl}}. The body of a Shellder is known to be soft and tender.<br />
<br />
After attaching to a {{p|Slowpoke}}'s tail and evolving into {{p|Slowbro}}, Shellder's shell becomes a cement-grey color. It transforms into a spiny, spiraled cone with four tiers. In this form, Shellder has a circular mouth lined with sharp teeth, which securely anchor it onto the host Slowbro's tail. On the top side of the lowest segment of its shell, it has two aggressive-looking eyes peeking out and facing Slowbro's back. As can be seen when they blink, the color of the eyelids matches its shell. Slowbro's tail seems to be lodged down its throat, where the Shellder enjoys the sweet taste of Slowbro's sap secretions. Despite having Slowbro's tail in its mouth, it is capable of pronouncing its name. It also seems to possess some ability to manipulate and move Slowbro's tail on its own, possibly by somehow shifting its own weight.<br />
<br />
After attaching to a Slowpoke's head and evolving into a {{p|Slowking}}, Shellder's shell becomes a light grey color. It also becomes a spiny, spiraled cone, but with three tiers. In this form, Shellder has a circular mouth lined with several sharp teeth, which securely anchor it onto the host Slowking's head, with at least two pressed into its forehead. On the bottom side of the lowest segment of its shell, it has two aggressive looking eyes peeking out and facing the opposite direction of Slowking. As can be seen when they blink, the color of the eyelids matches its shell.<br />
<br />
====Gender differences====<br />
None.<br />
<br />
===Special abilities===<br />
Shellder's shell is harder than a diamond and can withstand powerful attacks. When sand combines with the body fluids inside of Shellder, beautiful pearls are formed. As {{m|clamp}}ing on to an opponent reveal their vulnerable parts, they use the move only as a last resort. When a Shellder latches onto the tail of a fishing {{p|Slowpoke}}, the two Pokémon undergo a fusion evolution as a {{p|Slowbro}} is created and the Shellder changes in appearance. Likewise, if a Shellder bites a Slowpoke on the head due to the attraction of a {{DL|Evolution-inducing held item|King's Rock}} or some other reason, that Slowpoke will instead become a {{p|Slowking}}, the poison secreted by the Shellder reaches its head making it extremely intelligent.<br />
<br />
===Behavior===<br />
Its tongue is always hanging out, as it sits on the sea floor. Shellder swims facing backward by opening and closing its two-piece shell. When Shellder sleeps it uses its broad tongue to burrow a hole in the sand and then sleeps in it. While Shellder is sleeping, it closes its shell, but leaves its tongue hanging out. Attaching to a Slowpoke and evolving into either Slowbro or Slowking causes the Shellder to become parasitic and using the Slowbro or Slowking as a host. It feeds on Slowbro's sap secretions which taste so sweet it refuses to let go. It will also feed off Slowbro's leftovers. Shellder are apparently attracted to the King's Rock since it is this item that makes the Shellder bite Slowpoke on the head and transform it into a {{p|Slowking}}. Slowking's yawn provokes it to release more toxins, thus causing the Slowking host to become more intelligent.<br />
<br />
===Habitat===<br />
[[File:Sea.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Sea Pokémon}}]]<br />
Shellder lives on the sea floor. Their native range includes [[Kanto]] and [[Johto]], but it can be fished up in [[Sinnoh]] and [[Unova]] as well. It can also parasitically inhabit the head of a Slowking or the tail of a Slowbro.<br />
<br />
===Diet===<br />
{{main|Pokémon food}}<br />
When Shellder's mouth is clamped on {{p|Slowbro}}'s tail, it will feed on Slowbro's sap secretions, as well as the leftovers of food eaten by the host {{p|Slowbro}}. When it's on its own, Shellder is most likely a filter feeder. The Pokédex entry in Pokémon Stadium states that it hides in sand on the seafloor and catches prey with its soft tongue. It is unknown if or how it feeds while attached to Slowking's head.<br />

==Trivia==<br />
[[File:Evolution anime.png|thumb|Shellder and {{p|Slowpoke}} evolving into {{p|Slowking}} in ''[[EP260|A Crowning Achievement]]'']]<br />
* In the anime, Shellder is required to evolve {{p|Slowpoke}} into {{p|Slowbro}} or {{p|Slowking}}. Shellder clamps onto a Slowpoke's tail to evolve into Slowbro, or onto its head while wearing the [[King's Rock]] to evolve into a Slowking. Even though Shellder changes form drastically when it bonds with Slowpoke to evolve (see above), it is not considered an evolution in and of itself.<br />
* Some of Slowbro's [[Pokédex]] entries states that if the Shellder becomes detached, it will [[devolution|devolve]] back into a Slowpoke, one of the very few references to devolution.<br />
** It is also mentioned that if the Shellder on Slowking's head comes off, it forgets everything it knows. However, unlike Slowbro's entries there is no indication of devolution. It's possible that the Slowking evolution is irreversible for both Pokémon, and that Shellder is not detachable like a crown.<br />
* Though {{p|Slowbro}} and {{p|Slowking}}'s Silver Pokédex entries mentions that Shellder secretes venom, it cannot learn any {{type|Poison}} attacks by leveling up. However, it is still able to learn {{m|Toxic}} via [[TM]].<br />
* Shellder and {{p|Cloyster}} share the same [[species]] name with {{p|Clamperl}}. They are all known as the Bivalve Pokémon.<br />
* Shellder are one of the few Pokémon to show their entire body in a backsprite before [[Generation V]], which it does in [[Generation II]].<br />
* Shellder were shown to be capable of floating through the air in [[Pokémon Snap]], a trait that has been seen in no other media.<br />
* In the episode ''[[EP066|The Evolution Solution]]'', it's revealed that Shellder is still capable of speech as the shell of a Slowbro.<br />
<br />
===Origin===<br />
Shellder is similar to {{wp|bivalve}}s, more specifically the {{wp|clam}}, with its tongue representing a clam's "foot".<br />
<br />
Its parasitic relationship to Slowpoke may be inspired by leeches. Interesting enough, Slowbro is known as the Hermit Crab Pokémon and many real-world parasites, including leeches, often target crabs.<br />
<br />
====Name origin====<br />
Shellder is derived from ''shell''. It also may be a pun on ''shelter'', referring to the fact that it lives in a shell.<br />

'''Cloyster''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''パルシェン''' ''Parshen'') is a dual-type {{2t|Water|Ice}} Pokémon.<br />
<br />
It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Shellder}} when exposed to a {{evostone|Water Stone}}.<br />
<br />
==Biology==<br />
===Physiology===<br />
Cloyster has a large shell covered in spikes. Six of the spikes are long and conical, resembling turrets, and are used to protect its soft insides from foes. However, the shell offers a lack of protection against special attacks. Cloyster has an inner, gray-colored layer inside its purple shell. Its {{DL|List of Pokémon by body style|Pokémon consisting of only a head|"head"}} and face resemble a black pearl, and there is a jutting, horn-like white spike above its "head". Its face is similar to {{p|Gastly}}, though the two Pokémon are not related.<br />
====Gender differences====<br />
None.<br />
<br />
===Special abilities===<br />
Cloyster have strong defenses and moderate offenses, both thanks to their sturdy shell. They fight by clamping their shell tightly shut while launching spikes from their shell to strike opponents.<br />
<br />
===Behavior===<br />
Cloyster are sneaky and clever Pokémon, viciously rushing at prey while shooting spikes. They fight roughly because of the hostile nature of their habitat and the protection of their shell, allowing them to withstand physical blows easily. Cloyster swim by means of propulsion, doing so by first swallowing water, and then jetting it out toward the rear. Cloyster may also shoot spikes from their shell using the same system.<br />
<br />
===Habitat===<br />
[[File:Sea.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Sea Pokémon}}]]<br />
Cloyster live deep under the sea, usually on the seabed or amongst coral and rocks. Their range is basically the same as {{p|Shellder}}'s.<br />

==In the manga==<br />
[[File:Lorelei Cloyster Adventures.png|thumb|200px|Cloyster in Pokémon Adventures]]<br />
===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===<br />
{{main|Lorelei's Cloyster}}<br />
First seen against {{adv|Yellow}} in conjunction with her {{p|Dewgong}}. Later, in the battle on [[Cerise Island]], it kept the voodoo dolls of {{adv|Green}} and [[Sabrina]] (which kept their arms bound by an ice cuff) safely out of reach while Lorelei {{pkmn|battle}}d them. Although it initially seemed that with Green out cold, Sabrina stood little chance, she feigned attacking repeatedly and slowly sapped Cloyster's strength using {{m|Mega Drain}}, eventually fainting it. Lorelei realized this, and quickly took back the dolls.<br />
<br />
Cloyster reappeared again in Lorelei's attempt to defend [[Quest Island|Seven Island]]. It is then remarked that Cloyster is the strongest fighter Lorelei has in her arsenal due to the tough shell it possesses, said to withstand the damage of a Napalm Bomb. However, though they fought valiantly and pushed [[Sird]] to her limits, ultimately the insidious villain won by having her {{p|Starmie}} {{m|camouflage}} itself and attack where they couldn't defend.<br />
<br />
The boss of Team Rocket, {{adv|Giovanni}}, is shown in several rounds using Cloyster. He used it to freeze two {{p|Magmar}} after having a chat with {{adv|Red}}. Then, when Red came to beat him, he used it to freeze [[Poli]].<br />
<br />
In the Pokémon Adventures manga, Cloyster is drawn by [[Mato]] as having a blue marking like a jewel on its head, beneath the spike. The official art by [[Ken Sugimori]], however, does not. This is likely because the white circle seen on Cloyster's head in most early sprites was interpreted by Mato as a jewel, but was actually intended just to be glare. [[Satoshi Yamamoto]], who took over starting at {{PAV|10}}, did not make the same error.<br />

[[Lorelei]]'s Cloyster is the first opponent {{Zensho|Satoshi}} faces in the Pokémon League.<br />

==Trivia==<br />
* Cloyster has the highest {{stat|Defense}} of both Water and Ice-types.<br />
* Cloyster's {{2v|Red|Blue}}' sprite shows its shell positioned horizontally instead of vertically.<br />
* Cloyster is the only {{type|Ice}} Pokémon in the {{DL|List of Pokémon by color|Purple|purple color group}}.<br />
<br />
===Origin===<br />
It appears to be based on a {{wp|bivalve}}, more specifically the genus {{wp|spondylus}}, with a black {{wp|pearl}} as its head.<br />
<br />
====Name origin====<br />
Cloyster may be a combination of ''cloister'' (to seclude or shelter oneself) and ''{{wp|oyster}}''. It could also be a portmanteau of ''{{wp|clam}}'' and ''oyster'', as a pun on ''cloister''.<br />
<br />
Parshen may be a combination of パール ''{{wp|pearl}}'' and シェル ''shell''.<br />

<br />
== Worthless Page? ==<br />
<br />
Hybrid Pokemon are the equiv of playing an executable like an mp3 file. The reason they act they way they do is because the game does not have type control, boxing, or boundaries. If the National Dex ID is too high, it will use the same math to point to the data, which will be garbage.<br />
<br />
Of course if you point variables to garbage data, you will get "interesting" and "garbage" results. I personally don't see the merit in this page.[[User:Sabresite|Sabresite]] 07:34, 17 March 2009 (UTC)<br />
: I's the same thing as most glitch pokemon in R/B/Y/G. The game reads non pokemon data(possibly sprites in this case) and interpits it as pokemon data. [[User:Foper|Foper]] 04:41, 24 March 2009 (UTC)<br />
<br />
== How do you obtain a hybrid? ==<br />
<br />
This arrticle obviously explains that an Action Replay is needed, but no such code exists to my knowledge. If I had a code to obtain one of these special glitches, maybe I could help with the researching? <small>- ''unsigned comment from {{u|Adsalt1}} ([[User talk:Adsalt1|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Adsalt1|contribs]]) ''</small><br />

Use 8000 - 8493<br />
<br />
On another note, someone needs to try 8494 and 8495. {{unsigned|Foper}}<br />
<br />
::Does this give you one or make them appear in the wild or fossils or what? I wanna try it, but I wanna know what it does first. --[[User:~Poke~|~Poke~]] 07:50, 11 May 2009 (UTC)<br />
<br />
@ Foper; hexadecimal identifiers 8494 and 8495 just crash the game I'm afraid --[[User:Chickasaurus|Chickasaurus]] 11:55, 10 January 2010 (UTC)<br />
<br />
There are a number of ARDS codes you could use. I use the Mining Museum Modifier code. I have a list of all the hybrid and non hybrid pokemon mining museum codes from 8000-8200(hybrid) and 0000-0200(non-hybrid). You could also contact me for other codes such as migrating pokemon, or wild pokemon.[[User:SchattenMajora|SchattenMajora]] 01:53, 8 November 2010 (UTC)<br />
<br />
== Negative index numbers? ==<br />
<br />
Maybe the D/P hybrids' index numbers aren't so arbitrary after all. I realized that hex 8000 (32,768), the value that they start at, is halfway between 0 and the maximum possible value, hex FFFF (65,535). This alone is interesting. In signed (able to be positive or negative) values, the values representing the negative numbers also start halfway between 0 and the maximum. Could it be that the game is partially accessing the normal Pokémon data through a negative index number? <span style="color:#404040;">'''~Dark'''</span><span style="color:#0054FF;">'''Storm'''</span><span style="color:#FFA200;">☆</span> 23:17, 17 December 2009 (UTC)<br />
<br />
@ DarkStorm: All working glitches (in the ROM) have some form of 'important' purpose in the game, if you changed the information for them you'd be changing information about another byte. Take Q for example in Pokémon Yellow and ????? (FF) in G/S/C; they have a 'cloaking ability' to make all Pokémon below it appear invisible in the party. If you happen to view the first party member through the use of a code just after starting a new game it will likely display Q or ????? on these games to signifiy there is no valid code.<br />
<br />
The typical 40 or so varients of missingno also seem to correspond to data which has partially been deleted whilst the 'pure glitches' such as LM4 are not like 'taking an mp3 file as an executable' because those account for actual coding in the game even though it may not be very apparant in the game. One of the first glitches discovered was the Doko-Kashira door glitch in Pokémon Green which involved a player taking advantage of the fact that they were able to 'temporarily switch both pokémon and item data at the same time.' in this glitch the player would eventually end up switching items with very high index numbers corresponding to item slots and manipulate the byte corresponding to where the trainer is to 'warp the trainer' to the hall of fame.<br />
<br />
Since DS games have a larger ROM and a much more complex structure it is no surprise most glitches will crash the game because it is extremely unlikely the game would not run into any invalid opcodes before the Pokémon data was loaded. One could try an index number of 12345 and it would most likely crash; if your theory is correct it would be trying to read a glitch pokemon with a very large index number backwards but that would not mean it was arbitary; perhaps the game was trying to read item data or data from the next closest byte but that would most likely make the game crash.<br />
<br />
That is a very good point you have there though; maybe to prevent glitchy sprites, cries and other factors the game will take one values' 'negative equivalent' value for sprite data alone hence why all the DP hybrids seem to have the same cry and moves. That glitchy move it has probably has a hexadecimal identifier of 0, or whatever the glitch was trying to refer to.<br />

== Some informations about DP hybrids ==<br />
<br />
I play in DeSmuME emulator and I saw and captured some hybrids in my Platinum and in my HeartGold. I did some other testings and got the following informations:<br />
<br />
;Nickname<br />
You may not give a nickname. If you do, the game will freeze after you accept the nickname.<br />
<br />
;Type Combination<br />
Its actual type is {{tt|Normal|Appears glichy.}}/Flying, but if the hybrid is wild or is the first non-fainted non-egg pokémon in your Party, it will copy the type combination of the first foe.<br />
<br />
;Footprints<br />
In the Pokédex registration, one of the few useful things is the footprint, which are different between Platinum and HeartGold versions.<br />

'''Cubone''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''カラカラ''' ''Karakara'') is a {{type|Ground}} Pokémon.<br />
<br />
It [[Evolution|evolve]]s into {{p|Marowak}} starting at [[level]] 28.<br />
<br />
==Biology==<br />
[[File:Bandai Cubone card.jpg|thumb|left|150px|Cubone with its face partially revealed]]<br />
===Physiology===<br />
Cubone is a small Pokémon that {{DL|List of Pokémon by body style|Pokémon with a bipedal, tailed form|stands up on two legs}}. Its golden-brown hide covers its arms, legs, tail, and most of its body, including both dorsal spikes. Cubone’s belly is a very light brown. Two small claws, one on each hand, serve as thumbs for Cubone, and two large nails make up its toes. On its head, Cubone wears the skull of its dead mother, so much of its actual face has never actually been seen. The skull is worn like a helmet in such a way that the only visible part of Cubone’s face is its eyes and a small area surrounding them. Cubone's eyes are triangular and white with black irises. The skull has two rounded horns on the top of its head, and under the skull, Cubone has a brown snout, with two fangs protruding from its mouth.<br />
<br />
====Gender differences====<br />
None.<br />
<br />
===Special abilities===<br />
The exceedingly small Cubone survives only through the immense skill it possesses in wielding its bone as a weapon. Though a naturally simple Pokémon, Cubone can be taught {{t|Ice}}- and {{type|Fire}} attacks through the technology of [[TM|Technical Machines]]. Cubone is a {{type|Ground}} Pokémon, however the only Ground-type attacks Cubone learns by leveling up are {{m|Bone Club}}, {{m|Bonemerang}}, and {{m|Bone Rush}}, the first two of which are [[Signature move|exclusive]] to Cubone and its evolution {{p|Marowak}}.<br />
<br />
===Behavior===<br />
It is called the Lonely Pokémon because of its tendency to keep to itself and avoid sociality. It was apparently traumatized by the death of its mother, and has now entirely removed itself from society. Cubone will often weep at night in mourning of its mother. When Cubone cries, the skull that it wears on its head vibrates and emits “a plaintive and mournful sound.” On the night of a full moon, the cries are said to be especially terrible. Cubone seems to recognize its mother in the moon, and so it howls with a particular sadness.<br />
<br />
===Habitat===<br />
[[File:Mountain.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Mountain Pokémon}}]]<br />
Cubone live in rocky areas, usually on mountains or in caves. They also once inhabited the Pokémon Tower in {{to|Lavender}} Town where deceased Pokémon were buried and mourned. It is infamous for seclusion and clandestine activity, so sightings are obviously very rare, limiting information about Cubone and its preferred habitat. It is known that Cubone is predominantly a [[Kanto]]-native Pokémon, but sightings in [[Sinnoh]] have been reported as well.<br />

==== Trophy Information ====<br />
<br />
''"A Lonely Pokémon. It wears its mother's skull as a helmet--for this reason, no one has ever seen its face. It sometimes sees its departed mother's face in the full moon, which causes it to grow sad and cry. The stains on the skull are tracks of its tears. When it cries, the skull shakes and emits a mournful sound. When it levels up, it evolves into Marowak."''<br />
<br />

==Trivia==<br />
* In the [[Pokémon Red and Green beta|Pokémon Red and Blue beta]], Cubone was originally known as "Orphon," a corruption of the word "orphan," based on its abandonment at birth.<br />
* Cubone is [[Midori Harada]]'s favorite Pokémon.<br />
* Despite the Pokédex's statement that it wears the skull of its dead mother, Cubone can be [[Pokémon breeding|bred]] in the games with no ill effects on its mother. This is due to Cubone being created before breeding in the games was possible.<br />
* Cubone is one of the Pokémon that appears in the [[Pokémon 151]] clothing line.<br />
* Despite not being a {{type|Ghost}} Pokémon, it is still encountered as a {{OBP|Ghost|literal|ghost}} in the [[Pokémon Tower]] without the aid of a [[Silph Scope]].<br />
* Every one of Cubone's Pokédex entries mentions the skull it wears.<br />
<br />
===Origin===<br />
Cubone is possibly based on a dinosaur or a dinosaur fossil, and, like dinosaurs, nobody has ever seen a Cubone's real face; only its mother's skull. It also could be based on primitive cultures that wore bones for decoration and used them for weapons.<br />
<br />
====Name origin====<br />
Cubone may be a combination of ''cute'' and ''bone'', ''cub'' and ''bone'', or ''{{wp|Billiard ball|cue ball}}'' (a reference to its pale white head or that its bone resembles a billiards or snooker cue) and ''bone''. It could also be a combination of the Latin word ''cubo'' (recluse) and ''bone''; this can refer to its lonely nature.<br />
<br />
Karakara may be taken to mean からから (clattering). It is worth noting that ''karakara'' denotes lighter clattering than がらがら ''{{p|Marowak|garagara}}''.<br />

'''Articuno''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''フリーザー''' ''Freezer'') is a dual-type {{2t|Ice|Flying}} [[legendary Pokémon]]. <br />
<br />
It is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon.<br />
<br />
Along with {{p|Zapdos}} and {{p|Moltres}}, it is one of the three [[legendary birds]] of [[Kanto]].<br />
<br />
==Biology==<br />
===Physiology===<br />
Articuno takes the form of a large bird with predominantly blue plumage. Its coloring is a cyan on its long streamer-like tail and head crest. Its head crest is simple, consisting of three rhombus-shaped feathers on its forehead. Its body is a sky blue, growing lighter on its chest and belly. Its most distinctive feature is its {{DL|List of Pokémon by body style|Pokémon with a single pair of wings|large wings}}, which look like they are made of ice. It has a small gray beak and thin, similarly colored legs. <br />
<br />
====Gender differences====<br />
Articuno is a genderless species.<br />
<br />
===Special abilities===<br />
When Articuno flaps its wings, it can chill the moisture in the air around it, making snow fall.<br />
<br />
===Behavior===<br />
Articuno is one of the [[legendary birds]] of Kanto. Articuno is more passive than its counterparts are; due to its isolation in the highest mountains, Articuno dislikes battling. It also flies from icy mountain to icy mountain. It is a poorly understood species, believed by many to be pure myth. According to legend, it appears before doomed travelers lost in icy regions. It is impossible to tell if these are valid sightings, as doomed travelers would have no way of passing on their story of the sighting, or merely delusions of the dying. It is described as being spectacular in flight: with its long tail streaming behind it, and its wings shining like ice. It is said to cause snow to fall when it flies, and has the potential ability to create {{m|blizzard}}s.<br />
<br />
===Habitat===<br />
[[File:Rare.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Rare Pokémon}}]]<br />
Articuno lives in cold, isolated locations, such as mountain peaks. Articuno are known to roost inside the [[Seafoam Islands]] of Kanto, [[Frosty Forest]] and [[Mt. Avalanche]] in the Pokémon Mystery Dungeon world, and [[Mt. Sorbet]] in Oblivia. Articuno is an extremely rare Pokémon. In {{v2|Platinum}}, it roams around Sinnoh, showing that it can withstand warmer temperatures.<br />

<br />
====Other====<br />
Articuno made its anime debut in the episode ''[[EP189|Freeze Frame]]''. It appears to{{TRT}} early in the episode, and then to {{Ash}}, {{Todd}}, {{an|Misty}}, and {{an|Brock}}. Travelers say that the Articuno watch over them on their journeys through the mountains of [[Johto]].

==In the manga==<br />
===In the Magical Pokémon Journey manga===<br />
[[File:Articuno MPJ.jpg|thumb|150px|right|Articuno in front of its Snowcone shop]]<br />
Articuno appears in the eighth chapter of the Magical Pokémon Journey manga, ''[[PPP08|The Legendary Articuno!]]''. In ''The Legendary Articuno!'', there is an Articuno atop a mountain used by a ski resort. This Articuno is rumored to spirit away the lives of lost travelers, but in reality, it is a friendly Pokémon that runs a Snowcone shop. {{MPJ|Pikachu}}, {{MPJ|Clefairy}} and {{MPJ|Jigglypuff}} enter a Snowcone-eating contest at Articuno's shop, and Articuno also rescues an injured [[Hazel]].<br />
<br />
===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===<br />
Articuno is shown to seal itself in a block of ice when it senses the presence of an enemy. It strongly dislikes confrontation. However, in [[Pokémon Adventures volume 3]], [[Team Rocket]] was able to temporary get hold of it, together with {{p|Moltres}} and {{p|Zapdos}}. It was used by the then-Rocket Executive [[Koga]] to try to finish {{adv|Red}} and {{adv|Blue}} and succeeded in freezing them, but that turned out to be a strategy to let the ninja master's guard down and attack him from behind when [[Blue's Charizard]] unfroze them. After his defeat, it is called upon by [[Sabrina]]'s {{p|Kadabra}} with Zapdos and merged to form [[Zapmolcuno]], a combination that proved almost unstoppable until [[Saur]], the {{p|Ivysaur}} it knocked out of the wall, saved its Trainers with a web created using {{m|Vine Whip}} and evolved to {{p|Venusaur}} to deliver the final blow with [[Blue's Charizard|Charizard]] and [[Blasty]]. It at last regains its freedom after the defeat and splits from its fellow birds.<br />
<br />
Much later, in the [[Gold, Silver, & Crystal chapter (Adventures)|GSC saga]], it reappears under {{adv|Green}}'s possession with its fellow birds and is lent to Red in the battle against [[Will]] and [[Karen]], who nearly overwhelmed the three with {{p|Ho-Oh}} and {{p|Lugia}}. Since it has not been seen since, it has either been kept in the box or released, its true status unknown.<br />
<br />
===In the Pokémon Pocket Monsters manga===<br />
Articuno debuted in ''[[PM012|Will You Risk Your Life To Play The Magic Game?!]]'' and was caught by {{OBP|Red|Pocket Monsters}} in the [[PM013|next chapter]].<br />
<br />
===In the Pokémon Zensho manga===<br />
[[Blaine]] catches an Articuno with [[Satoshi (Zensho)|Satoshi]]'s help.<br />
<br />
===In the Pokémon Gold & Silver: The Golden Boys manga===<br />
Falkner has an Articuno which debuted in ''[[GB03|The Legendary Pokémon Appears!]]''. It went up against {{GnB|Gold}}'s {{p|Pikachu}} after it came from another time.<br />
<br />
==In the TCG==<br />
{{main|Articuno (TCG)}}<br />
<br />
==Merchandise==<br />
Articuno was one of the first four Pokémon designs revealed when the [[Pokémon 151]] brand was first announced. In the shirt design, an Articuno is rising out of the right side with the number 144 on its chest.<br />
<br />
==Other appearances==<br />
===[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]===<br />
When released from a [[Poké Ball]], Articuno will use a {{m|Blizzard}} attack that freezes any opponent that is caught in it for a few seconds.<br />
<br />
====Trophy information====<br />
''Clouds gather, the barometer plunges, and fresh snow falls from the frigid air when this [[legendary Pokémon]] takes wing. Graceful and elegant, it boasts long tail feathers that flap in the wind and are lovely to behold. As would be expected, its combat moves are based on its cold nature; they include {{m|Ice Beam}} and {{m|Blizzard}}.''<br />

==Trivia==<br />
* In the [[EP002|second episode]] of the anime, there is an engraving on a wall in the Viridian City Pokémon Center that depicts the [[legendary birds]]. Ash mistakes the Articuno engraving as {{p|Ho-Oh}}. While the blue coloration of the stone indicates the {{t|Ice}} type, and the wings and crest feathers are those of Articuno, the multiple tail feathers look nothing like Articuno's tail, being more similar in appearance to those of Ho-Oh.<br />
* In {{3v2|Red|Blue|Yellow}}, as well as {{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}}, there are binoculars in the [[gate]] separating [[Fuchsia City]] from {{rt|15|Kanto}}, through which Articuno can be seen flying toward the sea. In a bout of continuity, or possibly an oversight by the designers, it is still visible in the binoculars if it is captured or defeated in the [[Seafoam Islands]].<br />
* In the opening of ''[[EP188|Spring Fever]]'', {{Todd}} points out a tall mountain that is Articuno's home. This mountain is, on the outside, the same as {{DL|Shamouti Island|Ice Island|Articuno's home}} in ''[[M02|The Power of One]]''.<br />
* In {{g|Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness}}, it is the only one in its trio that cannot be encountered unless the player enters an event password.<br />
** Also, it is the only {{t|Ice}} Pokémon in IQ group C.<br />
* Articuno is the first legendary Pokémon in [[National Pokédex]] order, and the first Pokémon in National Pokédex order to make its anime debut in a movie.<br />
* Articuno was the last [[Generation I]] Pokémon to be introduced in the anime, and the only one that did not appear in Season 1, if movies and banned episodes are included ({{p|Mew}} is the last if its appearances in movies are not counted).<br />
* Articuno is the only Pokémon other than {{p|Smeargle}} and {{p|Poliwrath}}{{tt|*|Only in Generation II}} that is able to learn an accuracy-focusing move and a OHKO move, learning {{m|Mind Reader}} and {{m|Sheer Cold}}. An Articuno using this combination can be fought in the [[Battle Subway]].<br />
<br />
===Origin===<br />
This Pokémon's appearance is based on the {{wp|Simurgh}} , deriving from the Persian رخ {{wp|Roc (mythology)|rokh}}, which is that of a giant arctic bird. Also, its long tail and small body may be reference to the rare bird, the {{wp|quetzal}}. It is also anatomically very similar to the {{wp|White-throated Magpie-jay}}.<br />
<br />
===Name origin===<br />
Articuno is a combination of ''arctic'' (far northern regions of the globe) and ''uno'' ({{wp|Spanish language|Spanish}} for ''one'', indicating that it is the first in the series of [[Kanto]] [[legendary birds]]). <br />
<br />
Freezer is literally ''freezer'' (that which freezes).<br />

:There is one major difference though. The ammount of information we have. The Rustboro, Jubilife and Violet City schools are all in the games, so they are notable. Snowpoint school is the location for an episode in the anime, so it gets an anime location article. Celadon university was ''mentioned'' in one episode.

:: Actually, it was mentioned (perhaps indirectly, I'm not sure) in ''two'' of the anime, "Chikorita's big upset" and "Fossil fools". In addition to that, it is featured in a chapter of the Pokemon Adventures manga. And if that is not enough, we could add a section on the known teachers and their classes (Erika, Nurse Joy, Oak) and it can also be mentioned that Bill was a student there. And even if there is not enough information to create a seperate page, there is definately enough to create at least a "Places of interest" section on ''this'' page, as apposed to it only being mentioned in the manga/anime sections.--[[User:Bonslywizard10|Bonslywizard10]] 15:57, 29 June 2010 (UTC)<br />

<br />
Isn't Arceus the master of Trio masters?--[[User:Kuki|<span style="color:#b00000;">Kuki</span>]][[User talk:Kuki|<span style="color:#2c40a4;">Ta</span><span style="color:#049440;">lk</span>]] 16:31, 4 May 2008 (UTC)<br />
:All we know is it's the master of the lake trio. Ho-Oh, Lugia, and Regigigas... well, they actually seem to be overlords of sky, sea, and land. '''[[User:TTEchidna|<span style="color:#FF0000">''TTE''</span>]][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]]''' 16:45, 4 May 2008 (UTC)<br />
<br />
i thought Groudon, Kyogre, and Rayquaza were the overlords of the land, sea, and sky. I kind of pictured Ho-Oh and Lugia as guardians. and i'm not even sure what to think of Regigigas as of yet. [[User:InuMimi|InuMimi]] 12:39, 19 July 2008 (UTC)<br />
<br />
<br />
Remember that while Kyogre expanded the seas, Groudon expanded the continents, and Rayquaza brought neutral ground (and not ground as in Groudon, but you get what I mean) with the sky, they are very much beings of these domains, and have never been shown to watch over the effects of the domains they represent. Rayquaza may keep the balance between Kyogre and Groudon, but it seems to simply be a leader of the Sky World, rather than its Guardian. The Hebrew mythological/legendary/Biblical creatures known as Behemoth, Leviathan, and Ziz are seen as the Great Beasts of the Earth, Sea, and Sky (respectively), but not as the Guardians of these domains. They simply are the Greatest of the inhabitants of these domains. I'm not saying that Pokémon has to adhere to the stories that its Legendaries are based on, but they do provide a hint. Now, granted, Kyogre and Groudon's information in the version they do not appear in is important in that is states that Kyogre brought the relief of rain to those caught in drought, and Groudon brought and end to the monsoon-like rains that tormented various regions. But these are born from aspects of their nature - the ability to expand the seas or earth with Drizzle and Drought respectively. This would seem to state that Kyogre is actually the guardian of the Earth - as it brought balance back to regions suffering drought, the negative aspects of Groudon - and that Groudon is the guardian of the Seas, for precisely the equal and opposite reasons. Of course, they are not the guardians of each others' domains, though they do keep each other in check somewhat, when they're not sleeping, that is. And when they are both awake - well it seemed that they actually didn't want to fight each other in the games at least, and that it was the Orbs that drove them out of control. The citizens of Sootopolis in Emerald state that the two look like they actually don't want to be fighting each other, as if they are being forced to by the Red and Blue Orbs (which may or may not be man-made). And Rayquaza has been seen to keep them in check when this does happen (though somehow Lance and Ash and co. were able to stop them without Rayquaza in the anime). But even Rayquaza has been seen as very defensive of its area - in Movie 7 it attacked Deoxys on sight simply because Deoxys entered it's domain. That's more like an attack dog than a guardian trying to keep the balance of the skies. <br />
<br />
Lugia has shown multiple times that if it existed in the sky, it would cause catastrophic events that could effect the entire world, but by maintaining its powers beneath the sea it is able to keep the balance of the world's water, and therefore the source of life (as seen in a traditional Buddhist sense, as well as in, say, Movies 1, 2, 4, 5, and 9). Ho-oh has been seen as the maker of Rainbows and the being that ends the storms that could cause pain and suffering to the world, so it is the guardian of the Sky World. Ironically, the Legendary Birds and their actions affect the sea and are governed by Lugia, while the Legendary beasts are governed by Ho-oh. <br />
<br />
The Regi trio seem to have been made by Man, the class of beings often associated with the Earth, as bone and muscle and flesh are very Earthy substances. But Regigigas has been known as the being that pulled the Continents together by towing them with ropes, and it is also seen in Movie 11 as providing its phenomenal strength and its mastery over the great beasts that walk the Earth (here being Mammoswine) to prevent catastrophes such as that of the Glacidia glacier moving and causing much devastation across the Earth. Regigigas is perhaps the most Deus ex Machina a Pokémon movie character could get (though Kyogre in Movie 9 comes close), as he basically solves the final crisis of the movie, when Ash and co. couldn't. Regigigas' role of herding Megafauna is very Earth-based as well - see the Ground egg group, and it's role with Mammals (or HSOWA). Mammals almost define Earth and its denizens, though they certainly are not the only ones; but their association with humans and agriculture and also with the ancient Megafauna that dominated this world in the early Cenozoic are definitely indications that Regigigas is like a human of the ancient world, and how humans see themselves as the Stewards of Earth (or at least should...). <br />
<br />
So my point here is that while Groudon, Kyogre, and Rayquaza represent the elemental energies that empower the three domains of Earth, Sea, and Sky, respectively, it is Regigigas, Lugia, and Ho-oh (again respectively) that are the stewards of these domains. Groudon, Kyogre, and Rayquaza represent a trio (though a statistically imbalanced trio as Rayquaza is stronger than the other two), but one without a Trio Master because they keep each other in-balance ability-wise (and if Kyogre has some possible connection with "the Beast of the Sea", than it may be that the Trio Masters each keep the Weather Trio member in their domain balanced as well, though that's getting more into speculation). Regigigas, Lugia, and Ho-oh are Trio Masters because of their Pokédex and series lore about their roles, which connect them with both the Trios they control and their domains of Land, Sea, and Sky. The association with Lugia and the Moon and Ho-oh and the Sun - that's another story that has absolutely no basis save the opening screens of Silver and Gold versions. <br />
<br />
Arceus has yet to have been shown as the Master of Trio Masters, as has he yet to have been shown as the Master of the Dragon Trio (though this will probably be revealed next summer with Movie 12). So until then, Arceus remains as the Trio Master of the Lake Trio, only. But having created the entire world and its planes, I would assume he could be considered the master of the Weather Trio, the Dragon Trio, as well as relegating the Beast Trio, Bird Trio, and Regi Trio to Ho-oh, Lugia, and Regigigas. That, however, is speculation for now. Thank you for your time. [[User:Kumori Satosuke|Satosuke]] 03:53, 16 October 2008 (UTC)<br />

== Arceus ==<br />
<br />
Isn't he the trio master of the dragons as well.We know for sure he created Dialga and Palkia (and he probably created Giratina to start the reverse world but that is just speculation) which is like how Ho-oh created the Beasts and Ho-oh is the beast master so Arceus should be noted as the Dragon Trio Master or as Master of Dialga and Palkia.<br />
[[User:Sailor Earth|Sailor Earth]] 16:22, 16 May 2008 (UTC)<br />
<br />
True, but if he's only the master of Dialga and Palkia, then he's not a Trio Master, just a Duo Master, so to speak.<br />
<br />
:Please add your sig with the four tildes after you comment. Arceus is almost certainly the Trio Master of the Dragon Trio as well; however, his relationship with Giratina is still not yet confirmed, while it's been established that he either created Dialga and Palkia or else they are warring aspects of himself (sorry for using the masculine noun-forms). Until Movie 12 comes out, we probably won't have an answer to that, so for now, Arceus remains only as the Trio Master of the Lake Trio.

:::I agree with Maxim here. The article is inconsistent and attempts to reveal patterns that don’t exist. Lugia definitely isn’t the master of the birds in the games, for example, and Ho‐oh is not the master of the beasts in the anime (AFAIK; bear in mind that I haven’t watched the show in years).

== Real History ==<br />
<br />
I'm from Portugal and when they distributed Arceus for Diamond, Pearl and Platinum versions they gave me a booklet telling the history. I quote:<br />
<br />
''Arceus is regarded as the Pokémon God, the creator of the Pokémon universe''.<br />
<br />
''This is a legendary Pokémon, Alpha species and normal type. ''Though, if it have some elemental plates it can be transformed in one of 17 types of Pokémon.'' This is its powerful multi-type ability.''<br />
<br />
''The story goes that Arceus was born from an egg in chaos even before the outbreak of the cosmos.''<br />
<br />
''Arceus began creating Pokémon to put everything in place. The first thing he did was to create Mew to take account of the universe, this one and Arceus are the Pokémon that accompanied the formation process of the cosmos.''<br />
<br />
''Then he had to create Shaymin so that nature arise and to maintain balance. Arceus created Dialga, which in turn gave rise to time, and Palkia, which led to the space. Giratina created to control the death and, if necessary, act as mediator between Dialga and Palkia.''<br />
<br />
''After that, it created Jirachi that put the stars on firmament. Once created light, thanks to Jirachi, immediatly Darkrai could be seen in Arceus' shadow. Arceus thought to give a mystic touch to the universe and created Cresselia, the first Pokémon with feelings. This created the moon and, thanks to the feelings, wanted some help and company, so it created the legendary trio formed by Uxie, Mesprit and Azelf and later the Clefairy. This legendary trio was later charged with providing living beings with feelings, like emotion, knowledge and will, basic features that represent each.<br />
'''Welcome to the Pokémon Universe.'''''<br />
<br />
That means Arceus created Mew, Shaymin, Dialga, Palkia, Giratina, Jirachi and Cresselia. Cresselia created Clefairy, Uxie, Mesprit and Azelf. Darkrai was created by Arceus' shadow.<br />
<br />
For people who knows portuguese:<br />
<br />
''Arceus é considerado como o Pokémon Deus, criador do universo Pokémon.''<br />
<br />
''Trata-se de um Pokémon lendário, da especie Alpha e de tipo Normal. No entanto, se possuir algumas das elemental plates pode transformar-se num dos 17 tipos de Pokémon. esta é a sua poderosa capacidade multi-tipo.''<br />
<br />
''Reza a história de que Arceus nasceu de um ovo imerso no caos ainda antes de eclodir o cosmos.''<br />
<br />
''Arceus começou a criar Pokémon para colocar tudo no seu lugar. A primeira coisa que fez foi criar Mew para que tomassse conta do universo, pelo que este último e Arceus são os Pokémon que acompanharam o processo de formação do cosmos.''<br />
<br />
''Depois teve de criar Shaymin para que a natureza surgisse e para manter o equilibrio. Arceus criou Dialga, que por sua vez deu origem ao tempo, e Palkia, que deu origem ao espaço. Criou Giratina para que controlasse a morte e, se necessário, agisse como mediador entre Dialga e Palkia.''<br />
<br />
''Posteriormente criou Jirachi que colocou as estrelas no firmamento. Uma vez criada a luz, graças a Jirachi, imediatamente foi possível ver Darkrai na sombra de Arceus. Arceus pensou dar ao universo um toque místico pelo que criou Cresselia, o primeiro Pokémon com sentimentos. Este criou a lua e, graças aos seu sentimentos, desejou ter ajuda e companhia, pelo que criou o trio lendário formado por Uxie, Mesprit e Azelf e posteriormente os Clefairy, este trio lendário ficou encarregue de mais tarde dotar os seres vivos de sentimentos, como a emoção, a sabedoria e a vontade, cracterísticas básicas que representam cada um dele.''<br />

well that means that Crescelia is a the trio master of the pixie trio, denouncing Arceus as their trio masters, that also means that the trio hatched from the same crescelia egg.--[[User:Nobody777|Nobody777]] 14:16, 26 May 2010 (UTC)<br />
<br />
Probably<br />
<br />
the only possible explanation is that nintendo wanted to release this as a surprise goodie to stir things up along with the figures, so they cancelled it in all over world but forgot potugal, so its a company mistake, although that thing revealed alot such as creation of darkrai, one can see the two having some slight resemblance only by the shape of the head (somewhat), and thus arceus and darkrai are somewhat of a duo, somewhat, and some what of a trio if a crescelia is considered, and if so this is the first time that a trio master is part of a trio, but i'm still sceptical, didnt anybody else get such a booklet in portugal??? {{unsigned|Nobody777}}<br />

Here is my quote from the Musketeer's page: "If, as we have noted, Keldeo is not truly part of the trio, and it is (semi) far apart from the others in the Pokedex, wouldn't Keldeo be qualified for Trio Master? This would also save us from the trio/musketeers/quartet dilemma." So, how about it? [[User:Mewtwo777|I am Darth Mewtwo...

Seems to me it's probably meant to be the trio master, consider: It's the "Boundary pokemon," probably meaning the one who maintains balance between Reshiram and Zekrom and apparently the game creators made it the one that could use {{m|Cold Flare}} and {{m|Freeze Bolt}} (though apparently not officially), moves containing both types of the other two, they can't. Also it has higher HP. --<span style="color:#91A3B0">—</span>[[User:Venomoth|<span style="color:black; font-size: 13pt">'''''V'''e<small>№</small>moth''</span>]][[User talk:Venomoth| ♦]] 20:37, 21 December 2010 (UTC)<br />

It seems they also used the same shades of the above colors. In addition, they are all Psychic type. [[User:Mewtwo777|I am Darth Mewtwo...

<br />
Since this new movie is featuring Kyurem and the musketeer Pokemon, is it possible that Kyurem is their master? Or is it to early to tell?

:Besides the movie, what does Kyurem have in common with the musketeers? The types don't coincide ({{t|Flying}} for the [[Legendary birds]]), there is no historical connection ({{p|Ho-Oh}} bringing back the [[Legendary beasts]] after their death, Landorus stopping Thundurus and Tornadus, Arceus creating the creation trio and the lake guardian trio), there is no name similarity to make them slot straight in (Regi- Rock, Steel, Ice, Gigas), and there is no ability connection (Rayquaza's Air Lock to neutralise Kyogre and Groudon).

== duo+master=/=trio ==<br />
<br />
Doesn't "trio" imply three equal parts?<br />
For example I find it silly that it's the "weather trio" when 2 of them cause weather, and the stronger one neutralizes it (not to mention the dozen other ways Rayquaza is superior to them, including a more intelligent guardian-like role, instead of wreaking havoc). A weather-duo with an anti-weather-guardian would be the right direction. Same for the cloud demons. And the musketeers; if anything Cobalion is at least part of the trio, Keldeo the adoptee is the one whos place in it is in the air for now. But even then, Cobalion being their master, based on its vague role in the family, with nothing else that would make it stick out in any way (unlike Keldeo) is too much. They don't have a master, just a student. Also the word master feels so misleading (it's not like they own or control each other), but.. there is no fitting word for meaningless obvious connections between legendaries that I know of.<br />
<br />
I also want to note that the pokemon fanbase is exaggerating the creation myths/legends part of legendary pokemon when it comes to this kind of speculation (which may be what GF were aiming for though XD). The only things that really presents these creatures as supernatural beings with godlike powers, are their myths. The facts are simply that pokemon exist, who are stronger than usual and have some neat abilities (affecting the weather, manipulating dimensions a bit). They don't even show any sign of near human-like intelligence, actually they can happen to get caught into pokeballs by strong trainers and battle for them like usual (unless one considered anime canon, but its kind of hard to take serious when they disregard lots of things from the games and make up just as much own crap as they go along). Think of it that way; in the old times, some people witnessed a legendary like Groudon or Arceus, saw water evaporating wherever it went/saw it call a bunch of Unowns to make an egg or two fall out of the sky, and as they passed the info on, it turned into myth starring Groudon as the landmass god or Arceus as the creator of the universe.

:: Well alright, but what makes the difference between the Regis being a trio with master instead of being a quartet, if not that the three share more similarities between each other than with Regigigas? If the Regis aren't a quartet then Groudon and Kyogre are a duo with a master/guardian (as they have so many similarities while Rayquaza sticks out as superior on multiple levels, even design-wise), same for the Kami. Also at the moment we have no idea what will become of Kyurem and how it really relates to the other 2, but in the current state they're not a trio by that logic (even if Kyurem gets buffed up, itd be a Rayquaza situation in the end).--[[User:Saiph charon|Saiph charon]] 11:03, 23 January 2012 (UTC)<br />
:::Rayquaza doesn't really stick out from Groudon and Kyogre to me. They all have something to do with weather (neutralizing weather still involves weather), have similar markings, their movesets are even slightly similar. I can see how the Regis and Regigigas could be a quartet, except that Regigigas came out in a different generation. I feel like that sets it farther apart from the other Regis than Rayquaza is from Groudon and Kyogre. Plus, I find that the reference to Regigigas creating the Regi trio also sets it apart. If it created them, shouldn't it be their master and not part of their group? Like Ho-oh and the Legendary Beasts. These are just my opinions, though.

::::It could have caused Sandstorm or Hail but instead it neutralizes weather, that is clearly superior. It doesnt wreak havoc, it steps in to calm the idiots down. It has 3 different colors of markings (red, black AND yellow) instead of just 1 (red or black). It has 2 types instead of 1.

Well B2W2 have been out for a while and I think it's safe to say {{p|Kyurem}} is the Tao Trio master.[[User:Micamike45|Micamike45]] ([[User talk:Micamike45|talk]]) 04:31, 18 November 2012 (UTC)<br />
:Do you have any reason why it would be the master? [[User:Ataro|Ataro]] ([[User talk:Ataro|talk]]) 06:46, 18 November 2012 (UTC)<br />
::Well, {{p|Kyurem}} seems to be the corpse of the original dragon. Kyurem can be combined with {{p|Zekrom}} to form Black Kyurem or with {{p|Reshiram}} to form White Kyurem with the DNA Splicers, which makes Kyrem seem dominant over the other two. It represents a boundary of some sort. It also wants to reunite with Zekrom and Reshiram. [[User:Micamike45|Micamike45]] ([[User talk:Micamike45|talk]]) 19:08, 18 November 2012 (UTC)<br />
:::I disagree, it didn't display that it could have "dominated" them on its own. It was only with Team Plasma's intervention that it was able to, as otherwise it would not have had the DNA Splicers necessary for that to occur, nor the power to track down Reshiram/Zekrom. Black Kyurem and White Kyurem are more "proof" of Ghetsis (and later the player character) ruling over Reshiram/Zekrom than Kyurem doing so. Personally, I've never really liked the concept of "trio masters". People seem too eager to force things into these roles when they may or may not be fitting.

:All we know is it's the master of the lake trio. Ho-Oh, Lugia, and Regigigas... well, they actually seem to be overlords of sky, sea, and land. '''[[User:TTEchidna|<span style="color:#FF0000">''TTE''</span>]][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]]''' 16:45, 4 May 2008 (UTC)<br />
<br />
i thought Groudon, Kyogre, and Rayquaza were the overlords of the land, sea, and sky. I kind of pictured Ho-Oh and Lugia as guardians. and i'm not even sure what to think of Regigigas as of yet. [[User:InuMimi|InuMimi]] 12:39, 19 July 2008 (UTC)<br />
<br />
<br />
Remember that while Kyogre expanded the seas, Groudon expanded the continents, and Rayquaza brought neutral ground (and not ground as in Groudon, but you get what I mean) with the sky, they are very much beings of these domains, and have never been shown to watch over the effects of the domains they represent. Rayquaza may keep the balance between Kyogre and Groudon, but it seems to simply be a leader of the Sky World, rather than its Guardian. The Hebrew mythological/legendary/Biblical creatures known as Behemoth, Leviathan, and Ziz are seen as the Great Beasts of the Earth, Sea, and Sky (respectively), but not as the Guardians of these domains. They simply are the Greatest of the inhabitants of these domains. I'm not saying that Pokémon has to adhere to the stories that its Legendaries are based on, but they do provide a hint. Now, granted, Kyogre and Groudon's information in the version they do not appear in is important in that is states that Kyogre brought the relief of rain to those caught in drought, and Groudon brought and end to the monsoon-like rains that tormented various regions. But these are born from aspects of their nature - the ability to expand the seas or earth with Drizzle and Drought respectively. This would seem to state that Kyogre is actually the guardian of the Earth - as it brought balance back to regions suffering drought, the negative aspects of Groudon - and that Groudon is the guardian of the Seas, for precisely the equal and opposite reasons. Of course, they are not the guardians of each others' domains, though they do keep each other in check somewhat, when they're not sleeping, that is. And when they are both awake - well it seemed that they actually didn't want to fight each other in the games at least, and that it was the Orbs that drove them out of control. The citizens of Sootopolis in Emerald state that the two look like they actually don't want to be fighting each other, as if they are being forced to by the Red and Blue Orbs (which may or may not be man-made). And Rayquaza has been seen to keep them in check when this does happen (though somehow Lance and Ash and co. were able to stop them without Rayquaza in the anime). But even Rayquaza has been seen as very defensive of its area - in Movie 7 it attacked Deoxys on sight simply because Deoxys entered it's domain. That's more like an attack dog than a guardian trying to keep the balance of the skies. <br />
<br />
Lugia has shown multiple times that if it existed in the sky, it would cause catastrophic events that could effect the entire world, but by maintaining its powers beneath the sea it is able to keep the balance of the world's water, and therefore the source of life (as seen in a traditional Buddhist sense, as well as in, say, Movies 1, 2, 4, 5, and 9). Ho-oh has been seen as the maker of Rainbows and the being that ends the storms that could cause pain and suffering to the world, so it is the guardian of the Sky World. Ironically, the Legendary Birds and their actions affect the sea and are governed by Lugia, while the Legendary beasts are governed by Ho-oh. <br />
<br />
The Regi trio seem to have been made by Man, the class of beings often associated with the Earth, as bone and muscle and flesh are very Earthy substances. But Regigigas has been known as the being that pulled the Continents together by towing them with ropes, and it is also seen in Movie 11 as providing its phenomenal strength and its mastery over the great beasts that walk the Earth (here being Mammoswine) to prevent catastrophes such as that of the Glacidia glacier moving and causing much devastation across the Earth. Regigigas is perhaps the most Deus ex Machina a Pokémon movie character could get (though Kyogre in Movie 9 comes close), as he basically solves the final crisis of the movie, when Ash and co. couldn't. Regigigas' role of herding Megafauna is very Earth-based as well - see the Ground egg group, and it's role with Mammals (or HSOWA). Mammals almost define Earth and its denizens, though they certainly are not the only ones; but their association with humans and agriculture and also with the ancient Megafauna that dominated this world in the early Cenozoic are definitely indications that Regigigas is like a human of the ancient world, and how humans see themselves as the Stewards of Earth (or at least should...). <br />
<br />
So my point here is that while Groudon, Kyogre, and Rayquaza represent the elemental energies that empower the three domains of Earth, Sea, and Sky, respectively, it is Regigigas, Lugia, and Ho-oh (again respectively) that are the stewards of these domains. Groudon, Kyogre, and Rayquaza represent a trio (though a statistically imbalanced trio as Rayquaza is stronger than the other two), but one without a Trio Master because they keep each other in-balance ability-wise (and if Kyogre has some possible connection with "the Beast of the Sea", than it may be that the Trio Masters each keep the Weather Trio member in their domain balanced as well, though that's getting more into speculation). Regigigas, Lugia, and Ho-oh are Trio Masters because of their Pokédex and series lore about their roles, which connect them with both the Trios they control and their domains of Land, Sea, and Sky. The association with Lugia and the Moon and Ho-oh and the Sun - that's another story that has absolutely no basis save the opening screens of Silver and Gold versions. <br />
<br />
Arceus has yet to have been shown as the Master of Trio Masters, as has he yet to have been shown as the Master of the Dragon Trio (though this will probably be revealed next summer with Movie 12). So until then, Arceus remains as the Trio Master of the Lake Trio, only. But having created the entire world and its planes, I would assume he could be considered the master of the Weather Trio, the Dragon Trio, as well as relegating the Beast Trio, Bird Trio, and Regi Trio to Ho-oh, Lugia, and Regigigas. That, however, is speculation for now. Thank you for your time. [[User:Kumori Satosuke|Satosuke]] 03:53, 16 October 2008 (UTC)<br />

== Arceus ==<br />
<br />
Isn't he the trio master of the dragons as well.We know for sure he created Dialga and Palkia (and he probably created Giratina to start the reverse world but that is just speculation) which is like how Ho-oh created the Beasts and Ho-oh is the beast master so Arceus should be noted as the Dragon Trio Master or as Master of Dialga and Palkia.<br />
[[User:Sailor Earth|Sailor Earth]] 16:22, 16 May 2008 (UTC)<br />

True, but if he's only the master of Dialga and Palkia, then he's not a Trio Master, just a Duo Master, so to speak.<br />
<br />
:Please add your sig with the four tildes after you comment. Arceus is almost certainly the Trio Master of the Dragon Trio as well; however, his relationship with Giratina is still not yet confirmed, while it's been established that he either created Dialga and Palkia or else they are warring aspects of himself (sorry for using the masculine noun-forms). Until Movie 12 comes out, we probably won't have an answer to that, so for now, Arceus remains only as the Trio Master of the Lake Trio.

:::I agree with Maxim here. The article is inconsistent and attempts to reveal patterns that don’t exist.

== Real History ==<br />
<br />
I'm from Portugal and when they distributed Arceus for Diamond, Pearl and Platinum versions they gave me a booklet telling the history. I quote:<br />
<br />
''Arceus is regarded as the Pokémon God, the creator of the Pokémon universe''.<br />
<br />
''This is a legendary Pokémon, Alpha species and normal type. ''Though, if it have some elemental plates it can be transformed in one of 17 types of Pokémon.'' This is its powerful multi-type ability.''<br />
<br />
''The story goes that Arceus was born from an egg in chaos even before the outbreak of the cosmos.''<br />
<br />
''Arceus began creating Pokémon to put everything in place. The first thing he did was to create Mew to take account of the universe, this one and Arceus are the Pokémon that accompanied the formation process of the cosmos.''<br />
<br />
''Then he had to create Shaymin so that nature arise and to maintain balance. Arceus created Dialga, which in turn gave rise to time, and Palkia, which led to the space. Giratina created to control the death and, if necessary, act as mediator between Dialga and Palkia.''<br />
<br />
''After that, it created Jirachi that put the stars on firmament. Once created light, thanks to Jirachi, immediatly Darkrai could be seen in Arceus' shadow. Arceus thought to give a mystic touch to the universe and created Cresselia, the first Pokémon with feelings. This created the moon and, thanks to the feelings, wanted some help and company, so it created the legendary trio formed by Uxie, Mesprit and Azelf and later the Clefairy. This legendary trio was later charged with providing living beings with feelings, like emotion, knowledge and will, basic features that represent each.<br />
'''Welcome to the Pokémon Universe.'''''<br />
<br />
That means Arceus created Mew, Shaymin, Dialga, Palkia, Giratina, Jirachi and Cresselia. Cresselia created Clefairy, Uxie, Mesprit and Azelf. Darkrai was created by Arceus' shadow.<br />
<br />
For people who knows portuguese:<br />
<br />
''Arceus é considerado como o Pokémon Deus, criador do universo Pokémon.''<br />
<br />
''Trata-se de um Pokémon lendário, da especie Alpha e de tipo Normal. No entanto, se possuir algumas das elemental plates pode transformar-se num dos 17 tipos de Pokémon. esta é a sua poderosa capacidade multi-tipo.''<br />
<br />
''Reza a história de que Arceus nasceu de um ovo imerso no caos ainda antes de eclodir o cosmos.''<br />
<br />
''Arceus começou a criar Pokémon para colocar tudo no seu lugar. A primeira coisa que fez foi criar Mew para que tomassse conta do universo, pelo que este último e Arceus são os Pokémon que acompanharam o processo de formação do cosmos.''<br />
<br />
''Depois teve de criar Shaymin para que a natureza surgisse e para manter o equilibrio. Arceus criou Dialga, que por sua vez deu origem ao tempo, e Palkia, que deu origem ao espaço. Criou Giratina para que controlasse a morte e, se necessário, agisse como mediador entre Dialga e Palkia.''<br />
<br />
''Posteriormente criou Jirachi que colocou as estrelas no firmamento. Uma vez criada a luz, graças a Jirachi, imediatamente foi possível ver Darkrai na sombra de Arceus. Arceus pensou dar ao universo um toque místico pelo que criou Cresselia, o primeiro Pokémon com sentimentos. Este criou a lua e, graças aos seu sentimentos, desejou ter ajuda e companhia, pelo que criou o trio lendário formado por Uxie, Mesprit e Azelf e posteriormente os Clefairy, este trio lendário ficou encarregue de mais tarde dotar os seres vivos de sentimentos, como a emoção, a sabedoria e a vontade, cracterísticas básicas que representam cada um dele.''<br />

well that means that Crescelia is a the trio master of the pixie trio, denouncing Arceus as their trio masters, that also means that the trio hatched from the same crescelia egg.--[[User:Nobody777|Nobody777]] 14:16, 26 May 2010 (UTC)<br />
<br />
Probably<br />
<br />
the only possible explanation is that nintendo wanted to release this as a surprise goodie to stir things up along with the figures, so they cancelled it in all over world but forgot potugal, so its a company mistake, although that thing revealed alot such as creation of darkrai, one can see the two having some slight resemblance only by the shape of the head (somewhat), and thus arceus and darkrai are somewhat of a duo, somewhat, and some what of a trio if a crescelia is considered, and if so this is the first time that a trio master is part of a trio, but i'm still sceptical, didnt anybody else get such a booklet in portugal??? {{unsigned|Nobody777}}<br />

::::I agree with Zekasaur. Here is my quote from the Musketeer's page: "If, as we have noted, Keldeo is not truly part of the trio, and it is (semi) far apart from the others in the Pokedex, wouldn't Keldeo be qualified for Trio Master? This would also save us from the trio/musketeers/quartet dilemma." So, how about it? [[User:Mewtwo777|I am Darth Mewtwo...

Seems to me it's probably meant to be the trio master, consider: It's the "Boundary pokemon," probably meaning the one who maintains balance between Reshiram and Zekrom and apparently the game creators made it the one that could use {{m|Cold Flare}} and {{m|Freeze Bolt}} (though apparently not officially), moves containing both types of the other two, they can't. Also it has higher HP. --<span style="color:#91A3B0">—</span>[[User:Venomoth|<span style="color:black; font-size: 13pt">'''''V'''e<small>№</small>moth''</span>]][[User talk:Venomoth| ♦]] 20:37, 21 December 2010 (UTC)<br />

It seems they also used the same shades of the above colors. In addition, they are all Psychic type. [[User:Mewtwo777|I am Darth Mewtwo...

== Kyurem vs Cobalion ==<br />
<br />
Since this new movie is featuring Kyurem and the musketeer Pokemon, is it possible that Kyurem is their master? Or is it to early to tell?

:Besides the movie, what does Kyurem have in common with the musketeers? The types don't coincide ({{t|Flying}} for the [[Legendary birds]]), there is no historical connection ({{p|Ho-Oh}} bringing back the [[Legendary beasts]] after their death, Landorus stopping Thundurus and Tornadus, Arceus creating the creation trio and the lake guardian trio), there is no name similarity to make them slot straight in (Regi- Rock, Steel, Ice, Gigas), and there is no ability connection (Rayquaza's Air Lock to neutralise Kyogre and Groudon).

<br />
== duo+master=/=trio ==<br />
<br />
Doesn't "trio" imply three equal parts?<br />
For example I find it silly that it's the "weather trio" when 2 of them cause weather, and the stronger one neutralizes it (not to mention the dozen other ways Rayquaza is superior to them, including a more intelligent guardian-like role, instead of wreaking havoc). A weather-duo with an anti-weather-guardian would be the right direction. Same for the cloud demons. And the musketeers; if anything Cobalion is at least part of the trio, Keldeo the adoptee is the one whos place in it is in the air for now. But even then, Cobalion being their master, based on its vague role in the family, with nothing else that would make it stick out in any way (unlike Keldeo) is too much. They don't have a master, just a student. Also the word master feels so misleading (it's not like they own or control each other), but.. there is no fitting word for meaningless obvious connections between legendaries that I know of.<br />
<br />
I also want to note that the pokemon fanbase is exaggerating the creation myths/legends part of legendary pokemon when it comes to this kind of speculation (which may be what GF were aiming for though XD). The only things that really presents these creatures as supernatural beings with godlike powers, are their myths. The facts are simply that pokemon exist, who are stronger than usual and have some neat abilities (affecting the weather, manipulating dimensions a bit). They don't even show any sign of near human-like intelligence, actually they can happen to get caught into pokeballs by strong trainers and battle for them like usual (unless one considered anime canon, but its kind of hard to take serious when they disregard lots of things from the games and make up just as much own crap as they go along). Think of it that way; in the old times, some people witnessed a legendary like Groudon or Arceus, saw water evaporating wherever it went/saw it call a bunch of Unowns to make an egg or two fall out of the sky, and as they passed the info on, it turned into myth starring Groudon as the landmass god or Arceus as the creator of the universe. Same for the rest. They didn't create anything, they're just very rare/gone/hidden and best at manipulating specific things. Thanks for anyone who actually reads this, just had to vent it somewhere already Dx --[[User:Saiph charon|Saiph charon]] 15:14, 22 January 2012 (UTC)<br />
:In regards to your opening sentence, the word "trio" just means "group of three", and in no way implies equality within the group. <span class="sc">[[User:Werdnae|<span style="color:#2D4B98;">Werdnae</span>]]</span> <small>[[User talk:Werdnae|<span style="color:#009000;">(talk)</span>]]</small> 04:02, 23 January 2012 (UTC)<br />
:: Well alright, but what makes the difference between the Regis being a trio with master instead of being a quartet, if not that the three share more similarities between each other than with Regigigas? If the Regis aren't a quartet then Groudon and Kyogre are a duo with a master/guardian (as they have so many similarities while Rayquaza sticks out as superior on multiple levels, even design-wise), same for the Kami. Also at the moment we have no idea what will become of Kyurem and how it really relates to the other 2, but in the current state they're not a trio by that logic (even if Kyurem gets buffed up, itd be a Rayquaza situation in the end).--[[User:Saiph charon|Saiph charon]] 11:03, 23 January 2012 (UTC)<br />
:::Rayquaza doesn't really stick out from Groudon and Kyogre to me. They all have something to do with weather (neutralizing weather still involves weather), have similar markings, their movesets are even slightly similar. I can see how the Regis and Regigigas could be a quartet, except that Regigigas came out in a different generation. I feel like that sets it farther apart from the other Regis than Rayquaza is from Groudon and Kyogre. Plus, I find that the reference to Regigigas creating the Regi trio also sets it apart. If it created them, shouldn't it be their master and not part of their group? Like Ho-oh and the Legendary Beasts. These are just my opinions, though.

::::It could have caused Sandstorm or Hail but instead it neutralizes weather, that is clearly superior. It doesnt wreak havoc, it steps in to calm the idiots down. It has 3 different colors of markings (red, black AND yellow) instead of just 1 (red or black). It has 2 types instead of 1. It has superior stats.... either everything ends up being part of a single octagesimaltet or its grouped by sharing the same amount of similarities. lol.--[[User:Saiph charon|Saiph charon]] 15:26, 23 January 2012 (UTC)<br />

::Well, {{p|Kyurem}} seems to be the corpse of the original dragon. Kyurem can be combined with {{p|Zekrom}} to form Black Kyurem or with {{p|Reshiram}} to form White Kyurem with the DNA Splicers, which makes Kyrem seem dominant over the other two. It represents a boundary of some sort. It also wants to reunite with Zekrom and Reshiram. [[User:Micamike45|Micamike45]] ([[User talk:Micamike45|talk]]) 19:08, 18 November 2012 (UTC)<br />
:::I disagree, it didn't display that it could have "dominated" them on its own. It was only with Team Plasma's intervention that it was able to, as otherwise it would not have had the DNA Splicers necessary for that to occur, nor the power to track down Reshiram/Zekrom. Black Kyurem and White Kyurem are more "proof" of Ghetsis (and later the player character) ruling over Reshiram/Zekrom than Kyurem doing so. Personally, I've never really liked the concept of "trio masters". People seem too eager to force things into these roles when they may or may not be fitting.

:I think we should go a bit further and addend the "unknown" and add "likely male" since all of Mewtwo's voice actors (even the Japanese ones) have been men. Also, I believe Mewtwo was referred to as a 'he' in the anime; and in the article Mewtwo is referred to as male. -Lord Hyren 04:44, 21 June 2008 (UTC)<br />
::Well, if Mewtwo was referred to as a "He" in the anime, go ahead and change it.

If Mewtwo's gender is listed as "Unknown" in the infobox, then why is he constantly referred to as "he" in the actual article?

"The cloned Squirtle, Charmander, and Bulbasaur look extremely similar to their cloned evolved forms.

<br />
I am questioning this, because as far as I remember, when the first movie was done (July 1998 Japan), the prequel about his childhood didn't exist yet. The prequel story first aired as a radio drama (September 1999) and much later as a short anime. Furthermore, in the prequel it says that all memories from his childhood were erased. {{unsigned|Aicona}}<br />
:That "prequel" was part of the original Japanese movie that the failsacks at 4Kids cut to make Mewtwo "more evil". I mean, come now, we can't give something like that a heart.

==Mewtwo's attacks==<br />
This says that Mewtwo used Counter and Disable in Mewtwo Strikes Back... I don't remember either of them being used. I have no idea when he would have used Counter... and as for Disable, I guess that's referring to the fact that he stopped all of the Pokémon from using special attacks in the fight? I'll admit, that did happen, but I wouldn't say that that's "Disable". Disable "disables" one attack from one Pokémon, not all the special attacks of every Pokémon in range. Unless its effect differs in the anime (which is possible, since a few attacks have been shown to have different effects in the anime than the games). But another reason I don't think that it was "Disable" was because Ash's Pikachu was able to use an electric attack on Ash after Ash was turned to stone. If Pikachu was "disabled" then he wouldn't have been able to do that. Unless the disable wore off, but if that was the case I'd think that the other Pokémon who were fighting would have had their disables worn off as well and would have started using special attacks on each other.

::But as for Disable, like I said, it wasn't used unless you consider everything I said about blocking everyone's special attacks to be "Disable". I don't think that it was... it seemed more to me like him using his powers to do so, but not specifically using any attack (like how he used his powers to make a storm, yet he wasn't using "Rain Dance"). Unless there was some other instance of him using Disable, but I really don't remember it ever being used. [[User:Dannyjenn|Dannyjenn]] 00:13, 20 March 2012 (UTC)<br />

Aside from being bursts of wind and normal Trainer cards, they're nothing alike. It should perhaps mention Tool Scrapper, though.

<div>== Pokémon Diamond & Pearl Saving Failsafe ==<br />
<br />
Though I have only witnessed this once, it appears that the games Pokémon Diamond and Pearl have a failsafe in the event that anything happens in the middle of saving (e.g. Power Cut, cartridge removed, random crash, etc).<br />
<br />
When this happens and the game is restart, a system message informs the player that the intended save file is corrupted, and would use the previous save file instead. As a result, important game data would not be lost so easily.<br />
<br />
If this is truly the case, I hope it puts some minds at ease. --[[User:HechEff|HechEff]] 13:24, 24 January 2009 (UTC)<br />
:Yes, Pokemon Diamond and Pearl has a backup memory. So whenever your save file becomes corrupt the game will back it up. This however will make it hard to glitch the game and use like the cloning glitch.--[[User:Clarky13|<span style="color:#0000FF;">'''Clarky'''</span>]][[User talk:Clarky13|<span style="color:#000000;">'''13'''</span>]] 19:12, 24 January 2009 (UTC)<br />

I'm not entirely sure but I think you can't turn off a generation V game while saving. Unless of course the battery dies or is removed, or if the game card is removed. [[User:Hyper Shadow|Hyper Shadow]] 17:50, 2 June 2011 (UTC)<br />

<br />
The instructions for how to delete a saved game—"Press Up + SELECT + B Button on the title screen if you want to erase the current saved game file." follow after both messages in Pokémon Diamond and Pearl, but not in Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver.<br />

==Pelipper's body shape==<br />
<br />
If you look at it carefully, it kind of looks like a stylised trawling boat. Its feet look like propellers, its head looks like a boat's cockpit and its general body shape looks very boat-esque. The fact that it catches fish in its bill kind of alludes to why I'm seeing it. What does everyone else think? [[User:LordHeinz|LordHeinz]] ([[User talk:LordHeinz|talk]]) 13:05, 19 October 2012 (UTC)<br />
:I agree that its head and body do resemble one (well a boat of some sort, anyway, not sure about specifically a trawling boat) and that it's probably deliberate. (The head is too odd a shape not to be, and its backside is oddly shaped, too.) The feet resembling propellers seems a little farfetched, though. They look like regular waterbird feet to me. Still, I don't think every visual design element needs to be stated in articles. 'tis a tad interesting, however. Good eye.

== Ultra Ball in Platinum ==<br />
<br />
This article states that Ultra Balls are sold after earning 7 badges. However, I'm playing Platinum, have only 6 badges, but pokemarts already sell Ultra Balls to me (as I remember, they began it after 5 badges). [[User:Ruxax|Ruxax]] 14:48, 5 February 2012 (UTC)<br />
<br />
== 27th type of pokéball? ==<br />
<br />
So browsing through my PC boxes full of pokémon I noticed what seems to be a 27th type of pokéball. Its pattern appears similar to that of an ultra ball but with a teal coloring in place of the black/gray and white in place of the yellow. The only pokémon in this "new" pokéball which I can confirm the sources of are my Dreamworld Arceus and Fateful encounter Zorua. I know I can't be the first to notice this, but from my "extensive" googling (10 minutes) and looking through this talk page and the archive I can't find any mention of it.

:Are you sure you're not just seeing things? Or maybe it's some weird glitch, although I don't know how it'd be possible for the game to draw a non-existant sprite.

::They either memorize them or they mark them (like you said, the Starter Pokémon and Pikachu all had their names or a symbol on them). Usually it's done through memory, as seen by Missingno. Master's coment... and remember the second (?) episode when they were in the Pokémon Center and Team Rocket attacked and Misty had the idea to use the Pokémon to fight Team Rocket... and tehy were unable to tell which Pokémon were in which Pokéball (or if the ball was even occupied)? And in that one episode toward the end of the season no one's Pokéballs could be told apart except for Ritchie's, because he put stickers on them.<br />

== Heavy Ball ==<br />
<br />
What does a "+30 modifier" mean? For example, if I throw a Heavy Ball at a Wailord (weight 877.4 lb, modifier +30, original catch rate 60) then I assume that the catch rate will go up to 90. However, will this be equivalent to using a Poke Ball on a Zangoose (catch rate 90)? In other words, after the catch rate of the Pokemon is modified, what is the catch rate of the ball?

::Sorry for being so obtuse, but I still don't quite understand. There is a formula for the probability of a Pokemon being caught, involving both the multiplier of the ball and the catch rate of the Pokemon. On this page (and the [[catch rate]] page), most Poke Balls are given a multiplier (such as "x2" for the Ultra Ball). However, the Heavy Ball is given a "catch rate modifier" which varies depending on the weight of the Pokemon. For example, if a Pokemon has a catch rate of 100 and a heavy ball modifier of +20, the number 120 will be plugged into the formula as the Pokemon's catch rate. However, what will go in as multiplier of the ball? [[User:Tk3141|Tk3141]] 21:40, 4 April 2012 (UTC)<br />

:::Not exactly ABSOLUTE proof, but I think the fact I just caught 8 undamaged/unstatused Staryu (from Surfing in Humilau City) in a row first-time with Dive Balls (in White 2) seems to make the fact it still works on Surf Pokémon likely.

"Poké Balls are not always at full size. Pressing the button on the front will convert it between its full size, about the size of a baseball, to a smaller size, about that of a ping-pong ball, and back again. The larger size makes throwing the ball easier, while the smaller one makes for easier storage on a belt clip, in pockets, and in bags." <br />
<br />
I always thought pressing the button makes the Pokémon come out, like on the toys. Is this true? Also, in Pokémon Adventures it seems that Balls have letters on them, for some reason. -- [[User:Pringles|Pringles]] 00:15, 20 June 2012 (UTC)<br />

== Timer Ball Approximate Catch Rates Chart (Gen V) ==<br />
<br />
I decided to take the time to figure out what the Timer Ball's approximate catch rates are. I'm most likely wrong, since I'm no big math person, and I probably misinterpreted some stuff, but here it is.<br />
<br />
The formula I used for the increment was '''1229/((4096(.3))''t'')''' (and then 1× + this), where '''''t'' = turns passed.''' Then I added this to the total increment before rounding up to the catch rate. I didn't do it exactly as I should've/could've, since I just entered what was on the calculator exactly (hence the ≈'s), but I don't have that much time. The Turn # column is to remind you which turn it is at that point in time.<br />

<br />
So, taking into account I didn't do things as exactly as I could've, we're right--after ten turns, you're gonna have a 4× catch rate with a Timer Ball. If I'm totally right (which I'm not), you can bet you'll be able to have a 4× catch rate on your 12th turn.<br />
<br />
Regardless, it appears that, if you don't have any better ball to use than an Ultra Ball (i.e., catching a non-Water or -Bug Legendary in the daytime), you might want to start chucking Timer Balls after 2 or more turns, since you'll already be getting a better catch rate than a normal Ultra Ball. (The only issue there is how much money you have to ''buy'' said Timer Balls...)<br />

== What moves are recognised by Conversion? ==<br />
<br />
What moves does conversion recognise? I know if a Pokemon has Worry Seed, it will turn into a Grass-type. However, I've tried using the weather moves (Rain Dance, etc), and conversion never selects them. So cloud it be that only moves that target the opponent that are selected? <small><span style="color:white; background-color:#007FFF">'''X'''</span>[[User:Vuvuzela2010|<span style="color:#007FFF; background-color:white">'''Vuvuzela2010''']]</span><span style="color:white; background-color:#007FFF">'''X'''</span></small> 23:56, 15 June 2011 (UTC)<br />
<br />
I got curious about this question (and despite it being old, it hadn't been answered), so I decided to do a little testing in Black. As of Generation V, EVERY move, INCLUDING the now Ghost-Type Curse can be "targeted" by Conversion. I specifically tested Curse, Agility, Sunny Day and Trick Room. *goes to edit how it works in Generation V* [[User:RiverShock|RiverShock]] ([[User talk:RiverShock|talk]]) 16:01, 15 October 2012 (UTC)</div>RiverShockhttps://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Talk:Vanilluxe_(Pok%C3%A9mon)&diff=1289490Talk:Vanilluxe (Pokémon)2010-12-20T15:35:07Z<p>RiverShock: /* Egg Moves */</p>

==Egg Moves==<br />
There are a number of egg moves for Baibanira which say they need to be chain-bred from another Pokémon from its evolution family. Is this because nothing else from the Mineral egg group can have these moves? And would this even count as chain-breeding in that case? It's quite confusing. --[[User:AndyPKMN|Andy<sup>P</sup><sub>K</sub><sup>M</sup><sub>N</sub>]] 17:54, 15 October 2010 (UTC)<br />

:: To be honest, saying they're from chain breeding is misleading. They are not. Not exactly. They require you to breed Baibanira with a Pokemon that learned the move from a Generation IV game, like Glalie.

<div>==If Ash and co. met Lucian...==<br />
If Ash and co. met [[Lucian]], it was likely they'll meet Cynthia later in the anime. And I was right, because Cynthia is scheduled to make her first anime appearance in [[DP040]]!<br />

== Quotes ==<br />
<br />
In the quotes section, it says:<br />
<br />
Before battle:<br><br />
''"One look at you tells me many things about you. Together, you and your Pokémon overcame all the challenges you faced, however difficult. It means that you've triumphed over any personal weaknesses, too. The power you learned... I can feel it emanating from you. That's enough talking. Let's get on with why you're here. I, Cynthia, accept your challenge as the Pokémon League Champion! There won't be any letup from me!"''<br />
<br />
OR<br />
<br />
''"Have you been keeping well? Thank you for Mt. Coronet. I'm truly grateful. Together, you and your Pokémon overcame all the challenges you faced, however difficult. It means that you've triumphed over any personal weaknesses, too. The power you learned... I can feel it emanating from you. But that's enough talk. Let's get on with why you're here.

== In the trivia... ==<br />
<br />
The trivia states: Cynthia's team also has at least one attack that matches the type themes of every member of the Kanto, Johto, and Hoenn Elite Four plus three members of Sinnoh's Elite Four. Flint is the only member not represented as none of Cynthia's Pokémon have Fire-type attacks.<br />
<br />
Cynthia has a Fire-type attack: Flamethrower. It's on Garchomp before National Pokedex.

== Pokédex ==<br />
In Platinum, Cynthia tells the player character that she went on an adventure with a Pokédex when she was younger (she says this when you meet her in Celestic Town). This isn't mentioned on her page, and I think it is kind of important. [[User:Adam 148|Adam 148]] 09:31, 4 April 2009 (UTC)<br />

Unless Cynthia is only thirteen years old (which she'd have to be to start out with a Pokédex [invented three years before Generation II and IV]) it's possible Cynthia started out with a forerunner/prototype of the Pokédex, such as the P*DA.

::::::In fact, when you beats her the first time (in Platinum at least) and Rowan shows up, he states it has been a long time since he has been at the Hall of Fame, and Cynthia comments that if the last time he had been there was when she had become champion, then it was a long time ago.

== 3 years ==<br />
<br />
In Cynthia's trivia section, there is a bullet saying "Although Cynthia mentions she started with a Pokédex, in Generation I (approximately three years before the events of Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum) Professor Oak mentions that it is his newest invention." How do we know that the events of Gold, Silver, and Crystal are happening at the same time as Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum? Jasmine is actually in Sinnoh during generation IV, so how could she be in Sinnoh and in Johto at her gym at the same time? --'''[[User:InuMimi|<span style="color:#CC99CC">いぬ</span>]][[User talk:InuMimi|<span style="color:#CCCCCC">みみ</span>]]''' 19:17, 28 April 2009 (UTC)<br />
:The Red Gyarados happens after you beat Jasmine. It is highly possible that she goes to Sinnoh to recover after her loss; there is nothing to deny this. It could also happen shortly before she is faced by the player of GSC. While the two generations appear to happen within the same time frame, they don't appear to be concurrent. &mdash; <small>[[User talk:The dark lord trombonator|<font color="#0000C8">THE TROM</font></small>]] &mdash; 21:18, 28 April 2009 (UTC)<br />
<br />
==Platinum and Arceus reference==<br />
<br />
In Platinum, I specifically remember that if you went and checked the cave painting in the Celestic Ruins again after beating the Elite Four, Cynthia showed up and gave a big lecture on the dragon trio, lake trio, and speculation on Arceus. Somebody should go and check that, and put it in the quotes section.

== The Pokedex trivia ==<br />
<br />
Could Cynthia just be a newish trainer? [[User:Lovely Rose|Lovely Rose]] 03:58, 3 July 2009 (UTC)<br />
:As mentioned earlier, Cynthia is said to be quite experienced. Also, both Cynthia and Prof. Rowan both state that it was some time since Rowan had been to the Hall of Fame, which means that Cynthia has been a trainer for quite some time. [[User:Adam 148|Adam 148]] 11:05, 5 August 2009 (UTC)<br />

== In two places at once ==<br />
<br />
After defeating Cyrus for the last time, she's at the entrance to Turnback Cave and at the League. Did anyone else notice this? --[[User:Sting the Trainer|Sting the Trainer]] 19:04, 5 August 2009 (UTC)<br />
:Unless you're also in two places at once, you can't verify that claim. She leaves the League a lot earlier in the game; chances are she's doing the same here. &mdash;'''<span style="font-family:Verdana"><span style="color:#000">darklord</span>[[User talk:The dark lord trombonator|<span style="color:#0047AB">trom</span>]]</span>''' 20:15, 5 August 2009 (UTC)<br />
::After accompanying the player to the Distortion World, she stands around outside the cave but isn't there after you complete the E4 challenge. Platinum has actual cases of Gym Leaders being in three places at once (Gym + Cafe + Villa) but this doesn't count. --[[User:Fabu-Vinny|FabuVinny]] <sup>|[[User talk:Fabu-Vinny|Talk Page]]|</sup> 20:22, 24 August 2009 (UTC)<br />
<br />
== First Timers ==<br />
<br />
I was looking at the different Champions, and it's occured to me that Cynthia is the only one to be Champion in both the games and the anime. Blue was Champion in Gen. I & their remakes and is Ash's rival in the anime, Lance was Elite Four in Gen. I, but Champion in Gen.II. Steve and Wallace are not the Champions of Hoenn in the anime, and both where Champions in different games.--[[User:Spritemaster|Spritemaster]] 20:12:20, 24 August 2009 (UTC)<br />
:Actually, the anime stated that Wallace is the Champion of the Hoenn League. --[[Tracey Sketchit|<span style="color:#33CC66;">'''ケンジ'''</span>]][[User talk:Kenji-girl|<span style="color:#6600CC;">'''の'''</span>]][[User:Kenji-girl|<span style="color:#FF00CC;">'''ガール'''</span>]] 20:17, 24 August 2009 (UTC)<br />
<br />
== Cynthia the only one to remain champion ==<br />
<br />
Should it be mentioned in the Trivia section that Cynthia is the ''only'' Champion to remain Champion of her League in all games set in that region?<br />
Kanto/Johto Elite Four has had Blue, later replaced by Lance.<br />
Hoenn Elite Four has had Steven, later replaced by Wallace.<br />
But Sinnoh has only EVER had Cynthia as a Champion.<br />
<br />
Though this might change come Black and White and their third version, do you think it's still worth a mention? [[User:Bttsstewart|Bttsstewart]] 03:00, 30 July 2010 (UTC)<br />
<br />
Yes, it should be. [[User:Pokemon26|Pokemon26]] 01:14, 2 August 2010.--[[User:Pokemon26|Pokemon26]] 01:15, 3 August 2010 (UTC)<br />
:Actually, that isn't true. Red takes the champion title from Blue in Red, Blue, Yellow, Green, FireRed, or LeafGreen, and remains the true champion in Gold, Silver, Crystal, HeartGold, or SoulSilver. He just isn't fought in the league. And besides, every champion has lost the title; the player beats the champion in every game.

<br />
Wait, so what was Lance then if not the Champion of the Indigo Plateau? [[User:Bttsstewart|Bttsstewart]] 14:01, 16 October 2010 (UTC)<br />
:Lance was the Johto Champion. Red is the Kanto Champion. You simply don't have to fight another Elite Four to battle Kanto's Champion.--[[User:Purimpopoie|Purimpopoie]] 14:28, 16 October 2010 (UTC)<br />
<br />
== Isshu House... ==<br />
<br />
In Pokemon Platinum, Cynthia mentions about having a house, but where she said is a secret. Having a look at the Black/White games I realize there is a hosue with Cynthia in it. Any possible connections? I can't read other languages so if you can please find out if she claims it as her house.--[[User:Scepie|Scepie]] 08:44, 7 October 2010 (UTC)<br />
:The villa of isshu is not a house of Cynthia. The villa that exists in Sazanami Town is belongings of Caitlin. Cynthia borrows the villa from Caitlin. [[User:Sawamular101|Sawamular101]] 12:24, 20 October 2010 (UTC)<br />
<br />
<br />
== Black & White Rematch Problem ==<br />
I was able to fight her in Spring, but ever since Summer started, all she'll do is talk about swimsuits. Is there something I have to do to get her to fight me again? --[[User:The Great Butler|The Great Butler]] 06:48, 22 October 2010 (UTC)<br />
:I believe it she only battles in certain season(s). --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|<span style="color:#444444">'''Snorlax'''</span>]][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|<span style="color:#C3C3C3">'''Monster'''</span>]] 08:07, 27 October 2010 (UTC)<br />
<br />
== Cynthia's Pokémon's IVs ==<br />
<br />
They are NOT 31, at least not in Platinum's rematch. I won't edit that piece of trivia, as I have no means of confirming her IVs in games other than that. My brother used a catch trainers' Pokemon cheat on a Pokemon from each E4 member. (Their "signature Pokemon" <Drapion/Rhyperior/Magmortar/Garchomp> and Lucian's Espeon) They APPEAR to be all 30. (EVERY E4 member's Pokemon, not just Cynthia's.) I ran their stats through an IV checker. For reference, I'll put their details down here (Order of HP/Attack/Defence/Special Attack/Special Defence/Speed): Aaron's Drapion: Lv. 69, Lonely - 196/163/159/108/129/156; Bertha's Rhyperior: Lv. 71, Lonely - 265/247/189/104/104/83; Flint's Magmortar: Lv. 73, Timid - 214/148/124/209/165/162; Lucian's Espeon: Lv. 71, Calm - 194/106/111/210/177/182; Cynthia's Garchomp: Lv. 78, Bold - 279/207/193/153/161/187.<br />

'''Pokémon TCG: ''HeartGold & SoulSilver''''' (Japanese: '''ハートゴールドコレクション''' ''HeartGold Collection'' and '''ソウルシルバーコレクション''' ''SoulSilver Collection'') is the name given to the first expansion of cards from the ''HeartGold & SoulSilver'' era of the Pokémon Trading Card Game. The set brings several new mechanics and features to the game.<br />
<br />
==Information==<br />
''HeartGold & SoulSilver'' is the first expansion of the Pokémon Trading Card Game series of the same name, though often shortened to ''HGSS'' (the same abbreviation is also used for the expansion itself). Based on {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} themselves, the expansion includes mostly Pokémon from [[Generation II]], which itself includes all Pokémon from [[Generation I]]. Unlike its predecessor, ''{{TCG|Neo Genesis}}'', ''HeartGold & SoulSilver'' also consists of many Pokémon from the first generation, whereas ''Neo Genesis'' included only those related to new Pokémon (such as {{p|Horsea}} and {{p|Seadra}}, which had to be included for {{p|Kingdra}}'s sake). In Japan, the expansion heralded the start of the ''Pokémon Card Game LEGEND'' series as two subsets, titled ''HeartGold Collection'' and ''SoulSilver Collection''.<br />
<br />
''HeartGold & SoulSilver'' was the first expansion to use a revamped card design, which included multiple changes:<br />
<br />
* The card border is now gold and silver as opposed to yellow.<br />
* The illustrator's bar, the Pokémon stage bar and the Pokédex data strip all include tinges of gold.<br />
* The evolution circle returns to the extreme top-left of the card. The stage name strip is extended further to the left due to this.<br />
* An unfinished circle is present on Basic Pokémon cards where the evolution circle would be present on Stage 1 and 2 Pokémon cards.<br />
* The flavor text area has been compressed further down with the illustrator's bar shortened in length to compensate.<br />
* The top-right corner is now gold and silver to display the Hit Points more prominently.<br />
<br />
''HeartGold & SoulSilver'' also introduced two new mechanics, as well as discontinuing two other mechanics. {{TCG|Pokémon SP|Pokémon ''SP''}} cards and {{TCG|Pokémon LV.X|Pokémon LV.''X''}} are no longer present, the latter due to the removal of levels on the cards. Pokémon LV.''X'' were replaced by a new mechanic in the form of {{TCG|Pokémon Prime}} (Great Pokémon in Japan), Pokémon that are considerably rarer and more powerful than any of their regular counterparts. Pokémon Prime do not play home to any new mechanics: they do not have special names, there are no drawbacks to their use and they evolve the same as any other Pokémon. They have a holographic gold border, much like the silver border of Pokémon LV.''X'' and {{TCG|Pokémon-ex}} before them, and additional graphics around the illustration box and the card name (which is also holographic gold). They also lack Pokédex data in order to free up space for more Pokémon Powers and attacks.<br />
<br />
The second new mechanic to be introduced by the set was {{TCG|Pokémon LEGEND}}, named after the series in Japan. Pokémon LEGEND are comprised of two cards - a top half and a bottom half - and can include either one or two Pokémon. They can be put into play only during the game itself and only when both halves of the card are ready to be played at the same time. There are no real drawbacks; both halves of the card have the same name so only two of each have can be used in a 60-card deck. As well as that, Pokémon LEGEND cards depicting two Pokémon cause the opponent to take two Prize cards upon its defeat, much like with Pokémon-ex. Pokémon LEGEND cards are entirely holographic and three-quarters of the overall card is comprised of the illustration.<br />
<br />
The Japanese version of the expansion also brings about a change to the long-standing {{TCG|Trainer card}}: The three different types of Trainer are now classified as Goods, Supporter and Stadium, though Goods cards retain their title of Trainer cards in English regions. Similarly to {{TCG|Supporter card}}s and {{TCG|Stadium card}}s, which were color-coded orange and green respectively after their reclassification in the ''{{TCG|Diamond & Pearl}}'' expansion, Goods cards (including Trainer cards in English) are now color-coded blue. As with Pokémon cards, Trainer cards have also been redesigned: the illustration box now has a gold outline and the text area is metallic silver.<br />
<br />
Japan's set also introduced a type of card that had been present in English regions since the launch of ''{{TCG|Expedition Base Set}}'' in the form of reverse holographic cards, known in Japan as '''mirror cards''' (ミラーカード). These feature the same holofoil treatment as reverse holographic cards that has been present since ''Diamond & Pearl'' in English.<br />
<br />
=== Trivia ===<br />
* This expansion marks the first instance in the TCG in which one generation of cards has included three distince series; these are referred to as the DP Series, the PL Series and the HGSS Series (Pokémon Card Game DP, DPt and LEGEND respectively in Japan).<br />
* The card revamp for this series of expansions marks only the second time in the TCG that the card layout has been revamped mid-generation, following the shift from Neo to e-Card in Generation II.<br />
* Six evolutionary items are featured in multiple different artworks from the expansion:<br />
** A {{evostone|Thunderstone}} can be seen on {{p|Raichu}}'s artwork;<br />
** A {{evostone|Fire Stone}} can be seen on {{p|Arcanine}}'s and {{p|Ninetales}}'s artworks;<br />
** A {{evostone|Water Stone}} can be seen on {{p|Starmie}}'s artwork;<br />
** A {{evostone|Leaf Stone}} can be seen on {{p|Exeggutor}}'s artwork;<br />
** A {{evostone|Moon Stone}} can be seen on {{p|Wigglytuff}}'s and {{p|Clefable}}'s artworks; and<br />
** A {{DL|Evolution-inducing held item|King's Rock}} can be seen on {{p|Slowking}}'s artwork.<br />
* The Energy cards were the first ones that featured Pokémon:<br />
**{{TCG|Fighting Energy}} features {{p|Sudowoodo}}<br />
**{{TCG|Fire Energy}} features {{p|Ho-Oh}} and the [[Tin Tower]]<br />
**{{TCG|Grass Energy}} features {{p|Celebi}}<br />
**{{TCG|Lightning Energy}} features {{p|Ampharos}} and the [[Glitter Lighthouse]]<br />
**{{TCG|Psychic Energy}} features {{p|Espeon}}<br />
**{{TCG|Water Energy}} features {{p|Lugia}} and the [[Whirl Islands]]<br />
**{{TCG|Darkness Energy}} features {{p|Umbreon}} <br />
**{{TCG|Metal Energy}} features {{p|Steelix}} and the [[Goldenrod Radio Tower]]<br />

'''Jessie''' (Japanese: '''ムサシ''' ''Musashi'') is one member of of the [[Team Rocket]] trio also consisting of [[James]] and {{MTR}}, that follows around {{Ash}} and {{ashfr|friends}} in the [[Pokémon anime]], usually trying to steal [[Ash's Pikachu]], but always failing. <br />
<br />
==In the anime==<br />
{{incomplete|section}}<br />
===Character===<br />
[[image:DPJessie.png|left|thumb|280px|Jessie]]<br />
Jessie's mother, [[Miyamoto]], was a high-ranking Team Rocket agent. When Jessie was around the age of three, Miyamoto left on a mission to the {{wp|Andes}} to record the voice of the elusive Pokémon {{p|Mew}}. However, after Miyamoto disappeared, Jessie was put into a foster home which had very little money. There were times when she had no choice but to eat snow because of a lack of more nourishing food. <br />
<br />
When she was old enough, she left home to become a Pokémon nurse in [[Johto]]. However, the school she was enrolled in was literally for ''Pokémon'' nurses (i.e. {{p|Chansey}}), so she failed to graduate and left, leaving behind a [[Nurse Joy's Blissey|Chansey]] she had befriended there. In the episode ''[[EP129|Ignorance is Blissey]]'', Jessie was reunited with that same Chansey, which had since evolved into a {{p|Blissey}}. It is assumed that she then traveled back to [[Kanto]], where she enrolled in [[Pokémon Tech]], a {{pkmn|Trainer}}'s school, she met [[James]], and subsequently failed and dropped out. After this, Jessie and James joined a bicycle gang in [[Sunny Town]], where Jessie was known for swinging a chain above her head as she rode her bike, acquiring the nickname "Chainer Jess".<br />
<br />
Due to conflicts in canon between Kanto and Johto episodes and the special episode ''[[H012|Training Daze]]'', what happened between Jessie and James after the bike gang is unknown. What ''is'' known, as shown in the special episode, is that they joined Team Rocket separately and were on initially unfriendly terms after being grouped with {{MTR}} but they quickly made up and became good friends.<br />
[[File:Jessie hair.png|thumb|Jessie after beating up her Seviper for biting off her hair|220px]]<br />
Sometime before joining Team Rocket, and it is not known when, Jessie obtained a [[Contest Pass]] in the [[Hoenn]] region. Also during the years before Team Rocket, she had several boyfriends, all of whom left her and/or treated her badly. In ''[[EP234|Xatu the Future]]'', she revealed that she had once worked at a T.V. station as the weathergirl. In ''[[AG156|From Cradle to Save]]'', it was revealed that she once was a ninja. In [[Crossing Paths]], it was revealed that she had a crush on a boy she had gone to school with named [[Astin]], who has a current-day counterpart [[Austin|with a similar name]]. <br />
<br />
She has a long-standing bitter rivalry with [[Cassidy]], another member of Team Rocket. And Team Rocket member {{an|Wendy}} held a grudge against Jessie for failing to pay for a drink (making Wendy pay), but got her revenge when she added the charge to Jessie's overall Team Rocket bill.<br />
<br />
Jessie seems to have a special preference for snake-like Pokémon, owning both an {{TP|Jessie|Arbok}} and a {{TP|Jessie|Seviper}}. In ''[[EP032|The Ninja Poké Showdown]]'', she expressed a preference for {{type2|Poison}} Pokémon in general.<br />
<br />
It is revealed in [[EP048|Holy Matrimony!]] that Jessie is almost identical in appearance to James's fiancée, [[Jessiebelle]], with the two of them having virtually identical faces and only noticeable physical differences between them being eye color, hairstyle, and slightly different hair colors. Meowth in particular takes notice of this and frequently reminds Jessie of the fact throughout the episode, something she takes strong offense to due to Jessiebelle's reprehensible personality. Interestingly enough by the time the subject of Jessiebelle is breached again in [[DP002|Two Degrees of Separation!]] she seems to have forgotten about her doppelganger and needs Meowth to remind her of who she is. The resemblance between the two was further explored in [[DP153]] when she disguised herself as Jessiebelle in order to grant herself, James, and Meowth, entrance one of James's family mansions without James having to do so himself.<br />
<br />
Jessie is also known to be very vain and is also prone to explosive anger. She values her appearance, and she can get furious when her face or hair is damaged, such as in ''[[EP023|The Tower of Terror]]'', ''[[EP117|Don't Touch That 'dile!]]'' and ''[[AG008|A Tail with a Twist]]''. When this happens, she may do things like beat up a Pokémon such as {{MTR}} or her {{TP|Jessie|Seviper}}. Furthermore, Jessie goes into a violent outrage whenever someone insults her beauty by calling her old, such as the episode ''[[EP040|The Battling Eevee Brothers]]'' when [[Misty]] calls Jessie an "old hag" (Japanese: ''oba-san''). She spitted fire in extreme anger after Misty called her that name in that episode. She is also angered (compared to her companions, who are usually depressed when they fail at something) when missions are either failed or botched, which is a regular thing. This anger was intensely demonstrated in the Indigo League, Orange Islands and part of the Johto League story arcs. However, her anger tantrums started to become less intense over the next two story arcs, and her anger has always appeared far more intense in the dub than in the original, which is a contrast of Lillis's vocal performance to Hayashibara's.<br />
[[File:Jessie Jessebella.png|thumb|As Jessebella]]<br />
Starting in [[Hoenn]], Jessie became a [[Pokémon Coordinator]], entering every contest that she could. She frequently made it to the battle round, but usually lost there. However, in ''[[DP022|Borrowing on Bad Faith]]'', she finally succeeded in winning an (unofficial) contest by using [[Ash's Aipom]], which she had saved earlier in the episode. And, in ''[[DP061|Team Shocker!]]'', she won an official contest with her Dustox at [[Solaceon Town]]. Later in ''[[DP102|Shield with a Twist]]'', she won a ribbon with help of her Yanmega. She has [[Contest Pass]]es to compete in the Hoenn, Kanto, and Sinnoh regions.<br />
<br />
In the Kanto contests, Jessie [[List of Team Rocket's disguises|disguised]] herself as ''Jessebella'' (Japanese: '''ムサぴょん''' ''Musa-pyon'') wearing a red dress and glasses. Eventually, Ash, Brock, Max and May found out her true identity in the last contest.<br />
[[File:Jessalina.png|thumb|left|220px|Jessie disguised as Jessalina]]<br />
During the [[Kanto Grand Festival]], Jessie dressed up as ''Jessadia'' (Japanese: '''プリティ・ムサリン''' ''Pretty Musalin'') and wore glasses, long white socks, a yellow and orange dress, and had her hair in pigtails. She worked there as an announcer and [[Lilian Meridian]]'s assistant; Lilian herself said she did not really like "Jessadia"'s style, but recognized her talent. <br />
[[File:Jessadia.png|thumb|As Jessadia]]<br />
In Sinnoh {{pkmn|Super Contest}}s, Jessie disguised herself as ''Jessalina'' (Japanese: '''キャンディ・ムサリーナ''' ''Candy Musalina''), using big glasses and an orange dress. She was notable for the fact that, in the appeals round of a contest, Jessie tended to use her Pokémon to show herself off, rather than showing them off. In the Latin American dub, she entered Super Contests under the name Jessiebella (referencing Jessiebelle again).<br />
<br />
In ''[[DP078|Pruning a Passel of Pals!]]'' and ''[[DP079|Strategy With a Smile!]]'' she once again used her Jessadia disguise to report on the [[Wallace Cup]].<br />
<br />
Although Jessie entered mostly every contest in Hoenn and Kanto, she lost in all of them, whether it was the first match of the Battle Rounds or the finals. However, in the Sinnoh region, so far she has won two ribbons herself using her {{TP|Jessie|Dustox}} and {{TP|Jessie|Yanmega}}, and obtained a third ribbon after James won a contest in her place.<br />
<br />
She's also used other aliases to disguise herself under, such as ''Jessilinda'' during her time at the [[Pokémon Summer Academy]] and ''Jessilynlyn'' while competing in the [[Pokémon Ping Pong Tournament]]. Against [[Marilyn]] in ''[[DP125|Battling a Cute Drama!]]'', she used the alias ''Jessirilyn''.<br />
<br />
===Pokémon===<br />
As with the standards set by the Team Rocket organization, Jessie initially started off with mainly {{type2|Poison}}s. However, as the anime continued onward, her team has diversified. However, she is still strongly associated with Poison-type serpentine Pokémon, such as Arbok and Seviper. Most of her other Pokémon tend to be unusual in appearance and don't usually fit the general image of "cute". However, she does display a desire to obtain Pokémon that are considered "adorable" when the opportunity presents itself, especially feminine Pokémon such as {{p|Happiny}} or {{p|Smoochum}}. Her attraction towards Smoochum is actually shown in several episodes, such as ''[[AG168|Three Jynx and a Baby]]'' and ''[[AG178|Battling the Enemy Within!]]''. She was also attracted to a {{p|Weavile}} in ''[[AG185|Duels of the Jungle!]]''. Occasionally, she manages to take control of some powerful Pokémon, but due to either inexperience or hubris, this often backfires and loses control of them. She doesn't appear to train her Pokémon that often. Instead, they are often used to fight against Ash and his friends. When she enters contests, she tends to involve herself in her Pokémon's appeals. She is also very fond of {{p|Dratini}}, as evidenced in [[EP035]] and ''[[EP252|Fangs For Nothin!]]''.<br />

==In the games==<br />
==={{game|Yellow}}===<br />
Both Jessie and James appear in Pokémon Yellow as in-game bosses. They first attack the main character in [[Mt. Moon]], while trying to take one of the rare [[fossil]]s uncovered there.<br />
<br />
Later, in [[Celadon City]]'s [[Rocket Game Corner]], Jessie and James guard Giovanni's room in the Team Rocket base. During that time, as the player runs into them, they are eager for revenge after the main character busted up their plans at Mt. Moon.<br />
<br />
They hold Mr. Fuji hostage at [[Pokémon Tower]]. They attack the {{ga|Red|main character}} on the seventh floor.<br />
<br />
Finally, at [[Silph Co.]] in [[Saffron City]], Jessie and James make their final appearance, once again trying to stall the main character from reaching [[Giovanni|their Boss]].<br />
<br />
Unlike in the anime, Jessie and James do not follow the main character around and come up with their usual evil plans to capture Pikachu.<br />

===Pokémon Puzzle League===<br />
Along with many other anime characters, both Jessie and James appeared in [[Pokémon Puzzle League]].<br />
<br />
==In the TCG==<br />
Jessie and James appear on both versions of the card {{TCG ID|Team Rocket|Here Comes Team Rocket!|15}}, which originally released in the {{TCG|Team Rocket}} set; it was re-released with different artwork in {{TCG|EX Team Rocket Returns}}. In that expansion, there was also a preconstructed [[Theme Deck]] based on {{TCG|Jessie}}.<br/><br />
<br />
==In the manga==<br />
{{incomplete|section}}<br />
===[[Electric Tale of Pikachu]]===<br />
Jessie and James both made an appearance in the [[Electric Tale of Pikachu]] {{pkmn|manga}}, which was based off of the anime. <br />
<br />
While Jessie's role in the Pokémon anime has not yet ended, in this manga, she ended up [[RocketShipping|married to James]] and having a baby on the way.<br />
====Pokémon====<br />
=====On hand=====<br />
{|border="1" style="border: 1px solid #000; border-collapse: collapse;" width=200px cellspacing="0"<br />
| align=center | [[Image:023.png]] → [[Image:024.png]]<br>{{TP|Jessie|Ekans → Arbok|Arbok}}<br />
|}<br />
<br />
==Trivia==<br />
* Both Jessie and [[James]] have used a {{p|Charizard}} at separate times. They used a third one together as well. None of the three remained in their care, however.<br />
[[Image:Jessie's_Lure.jpg|Jessie's special lure|thumb]]<br />
* In Sinnoh, she dressed up as a cowgirl and she was called Catherine Jessieburn. This is a direct reference to the legendary Hollywood actress {{wp|Katharine Hepburn}}.<br />
* Jessie is currently the only member of the anime's main cast who is traveling with a Pokémon not in the extended Sinnoh Dex. In fact, she has two; {{TP|Jessie|Wobbuffet}} and {{TP|Jessie|Seviper}}.<br />
* Much like [[Misty's special lure|Misty's]], Jessie also has a special lure being modeled after her, like seen in ''[[EP168|Hook, Line, and Stinker]]''.<br />
* In ''[[AG093|Clamperl of Wisdom!]]'', Jessie had {{wp|sinusitis}}.<br />
* In the main series games, Jessie and [[James]] are the only characters from [[Generation I]] to appear only in that generation, as they do not reappear in [[Generation II]] and [[Generation IV]] when [[Kanto]] is revisited, and (being exclusive to [[Pokémon Yellow Version|Pokémon Yellow]]) were not adapted into the [[Generation III]] [[Pokémon_FireRed_and_LeafGreen_Versions|FireRed and LeafGreen]] remakes.<br />
* Jessie's hair color changed from red to magenta in ''[[EP261|Here's Lookin at You, Elekid]]''. This was because this episode was the first to feature digital colored animation, and was possibly due to Jessie's updated Sugimori artwork featuring magenta hair. In all the hand-colored cel animated episodes before the latter, Jessie's hair color was red.<br />
* Jessie is currently the only main character whose Pokémon on hand are all fully evolved.<br />
<br />
===Name origin===<br />
[[File:Jessie and James.png|thumb|200px|James and Jessie]]<br />
Jessie's English name is taken from {{wp|Jesse James}}, an American outlaw. Her Japanese name, Musashi, is taken from 宮本武蔵 ''{{wp|Miyamoto Musashi}}'', a famous Japanese swordsman. In his most famous duel, he defeated his rival, 佐々木小次郎 ''{{wp|Sasaki Kojirō}}'', after whom James got his Japanese name. However, one can argue that she is also named after the Japanese battleship {{wp|Musashi}}, as her rival [[Cassidy]]'s Japanese name is based off of the Japanese battleship {{wp|Yamato}}.<br />
<br />
She is based on a combination of [[Takeshi Shudō]]'s old girlfriend from when he was in school and the female antagonist of the ''[http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=1472 Time Bokan]'' anime series.<br />
