'''Baby Pokémon''' are the lowest stage of [[evolution|Pokémon evolution]]. The concept was introduced in [[Generation II]], along with {{pkmn|breeding}}.
'''Baby Pokémon''' (Japanese: '''ベイビィポケモン''' ''baby Pokémon'') are Pokémon at the lowest stage of {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} [[Evolution]] that cannot themselves [[Pokémon breeding|breed]]. The concept was introduced in [[Generation II]], along with breeding. Specifically, baby Pokémon can be classified by the following criteria:
*Must be obtainable by breeding.
*Must be the lowest form in a family chain and must be able to evolve at least once.
*Must belong to the {{egg|Undiscovered}} [[Egg Group]].


Baby Pokémon can be classified as such by these four rules:
The only baby Pokémon introduced alongside their evolutions are {{p|Togepi}} and {{p|Riolu}}; the rest were introduced in generations after their evolutions were. To achieve evolution, many require maximized [[friendship]].
#Can be obtainable by hatching an Egg.
#Must be the lowest form in a family chain.
#Must be able to evolve at least once.
#In {{egg|Undiscovered}} Egg Group.


The majority of baby Pokémon were introduced after their first-stage evolutions, with the exceptions of {{p|Togepi}} and {{p|Riolu}}. To achieve evolution, many require maximized [[friendship]]. Others will evolve by level up, but as the generations passed more complex [[methods of evolution]] were introduced.
In the games, most baby Pokémon are only obtainable through breeding. On occasion, [[non-player character]]s will give the {{player}} an {{pkmn|Egg}} containing a baby Pokémon, and this Pokémon typically cannot be obtained by any other method except by breeding. [[Generation III]] introduced the first baby Pokémon able to be caught in the wild: {{p|Wynaut}} on [[Mirage Island]]. In [[Generation IV]], many other baby Pokémon were also available in the wild.


In the video game series, the only way to obtain most baby Pokémon is through breeding. On occasion, [[non-player character]]s will give the {{player}} an Egg containing a baby Pokémon, and this Pokémon typically cannot be obtained in any other method, except for breeding. [[Generation III]] introduced the first baby Pokémon able to be caught in the wild: {{p|Wynaut}} on [[Mirage Island]]. In [[Generation IV]], many other baby Pokémon were also available, relatively easily, in the wild. Players may still find it preferable to breed though, for the benefit of [[Egg move]]s (as many baby Pokémon have very limited movepools).
From [[Generation III]] on, in order to breed most newly introduced baby Pokémon, the parent in their evolutionary line must hold a specific [[Incense]] before breeding, which provides a rationale for why those parent Pokémon could not produce these Eggs in previous generations. For example, {{p|Marill}}, who was introduced in [[Generation II]], could not produce Azurill Eggs until the introduction of the Sea Incense in Generation III.


All baby Pokémon are unable to breed unless they evolve into one of their higher forms, and are all in the {{egg|Undiscovered}} Egg Group. This is presumably due to their infantile state.
In {{g|X and Y}}, baby Pokémon caught in the wild are guaranteed to have three random [[IV]]s of 31 due to their inclusion in the Undiscovered Egg Group.
 
From [[Generation III]] onwards, most new baby Pokémon can only be obtained by making the parent in their evolutionary line hold a specific [[Incense]] before breeding, explaining why parent Pokémon available in previous generations were unable to produce these Eggs in those generations. For example, {{p|Marill}}, who was introduced in [[Generation II]], could not produce Azurill Eggs until the introduction of the Sea Incense in Generation III.
 
About half of all baby Pokémon are part of a {{cat|Pokémon that are part of a three-stage evolutionary line|three-stage evolutionary line}}, that is, they evolve again after evolving from their baby form. {{p|Azumarill|Only one of these}}, however, is achieved by level up, with most of the others requiring use of an [[evolutionary stone]] or [[held item]] to evolve a second time.
 
Baby Pokémon were eventually introduced in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] as well.

All of the baby Pokémon appeared in the anime so far, with some of them belonging to the main characters.

All baby Pokémon have appeared in the anime so far, with some belonging to main characters. While most of them appear in the [[Pikachu short]]s regularly, all have had major appearances in the anime. In some cases, other newborn Pokémon are called baby Pokémon as well.  


Several Baby Pokémon are first shown with a quite childish personality, other ones after some experience or evolution begin to show signs of maturity, such as Brock's Bonsly giving up in being fed with a bottle. However there are several exceptions, such as Paul's Elekid showing to have inherit Paul's harsh personality. This is not limited to Pokémon owned by someone, as in ''[[DP142|Where No Togepi Has Gone Before!]]'' portrays a rare case where Togepi's personality is completely different from what is known.

== In the TCG ==
Baby pokemon appeared in the TCG in HGSS as pokemon with 30 HP, the Sweet Sleeping Face Pokebody, and a free cost attack that would make the user asleep as a side effect.

Revision as of 18:44, 29 August 2015

Baby Pokémon (Japanese: ベイビィポケモン baby Pokémon) are Pokémon at the lowest stage of Pokémon Evolution that cannot themselves breed. The concept was introduced in Generation II, along with breeding. Specifically, baby Pokémon can be classified by the following criteria:

  • Must be obtainable by breeding.
  • Must be the lowest form in a family chain and must be able to evolve at least once.
  • Must belong to the Undiscovered Egg Group.

The only baby Pokémon introduced alongside their evolutions are Togepi and Riolu; the rest were introduced in generations after their evolutions were. To achieve evolution, many require maximized friendship.

In the games, most baby Pokémon are only obtainable through breeding. On occasion, non-player characters will give the player an Egg containing a baby Pokémon, and this Pokémon typically cannot be obtained by any other method except by breeding. Generation III introduced the first baby Pokémon able to be caught in the wild: Wynaut on Mirage Island. In Generation IV, many other baby Pokémon were also available in the wild.

From Generation III on, in order to breed most newly introduced baby Pokémon, the parent in their evolutionary line must hold a specific Incense before breeding, which provides a rationale for why those parent Pokémon could not produce these Eggs in previous generations. For example, Marill, who was introduced in Generation II, could not produce Azurill Eggs until the introduction of the Sea Incense in Generation III.

In Pokémon X and Y, baby Pokémon caught in the wild are guaranteed to have three random IVs of 31 due to their inclusion in the Undiscovered Egg Group.

In the anime

Several baby Pokémon and a Teddiursa in The Brockster Is In!

All baby Pokémon have appeared in the anime so far, with some belonging to main characters. While most of them appear in the Pikachu shorts regularly, all have had major appearances in the anime. In some cases, other newborn Pokémon are called baby Pokémon as well.

Baby Pokémon usually have childish personalities, but some begin to show signs of maturity after gaining experience or evolving, such as when Brock's Bonsly gave up bottle-feeding. However, Paul's Elekid was shown to have inherited his harsh personality. This is not limited to owned Pokémon, as Where No Togepi Has Gone Before! portrays a wild Togepi with mischievous intentions.

Pichu first appeared in The Apple Corp stealing apples from Charmaine's apple orchard.

In Wish Upon a Star Shape, a Cleffa fell from a spaceship that belonged to the kleptomaniac Clefairy from Clefairy Tales.

Igglybuff twins belonging to Brittany appeared in Same Old Song and Dance practicing for a concert.

An abandoned Tyrogue appeared in A Tyrogue Full of Trouble.

In The Screen Actor's Guilt, Brad Van Darn owned a Smoochum. His agent is afraid that Brad's image as an action star would be ruined if this was made public.

A Trainer named Satchel was trying to get his Magby to evolve for the Silver Conference in You're A Star, Larvitar and succeeded. It reappeared in Address Unown! where it was part of an Unown's dimension.

Three Chingling appeared in The Bells Are Singing! under Francesca's ownership.

Ash used a Mantyke for the second leg of the Pokémon Triathlon in One Team, Two Team, Red Team, Blue Team!.

Several baby Pokémon including Pichu, Cleffa, Wynaut, Smoochum, Igglybuff and Azurill appeared in The Brockster Is In!.

She evolved into a Chansey in The Brockster Is In!.

Trivia

Three baby Pokémon interacting with each other.
  • Out of eighteen baby Pokémon, seven of them evolve into Pokémon belonging to the Fairy Egg Group and six others evolve into Pokémon that belong to the Human-Like Egg Group.
  • Of all post-Generation II baby Pokémon, only Azurill and Munchlax evolve by friendship alone (not requiring a certain time of day). In the anime, these two baby Pokémon are owned by two of Ash Ketchum's previous traveling companions, Misty and May.
  • All baby Pokémon that were introduced in Generation II that evolve by friendship can evolve further using evolutionary stones.
  • Tyrogue is the only baby Pokémon with a branched evolution.
  • Riolu is the only baby Pokémon introduced after Generation II that can be bred without requiring one of its parents to be holding an incense.
  • Most baby Pokémon can learn Uproar via Move Tutor, while their evolved forms cannot.
  • May, James, and Brock got their baby Pokémon (Munchlax, Mime Jr., and Bonsly respectively) following the pattern of premiering in a movie and then being captured by one of the main characters. In all cases, the premiered Pokémon is not the same character as the one caught, just the same species. In some cases, this may be a result of the writers deciding a Pokémon works well with the group after they are shown together. Munchlax came after Destiny Deoxys and Mime Jr. and Bonsly came after Lucario and the Mystery of Mew.
