'''Rhyhorn''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''サイホーン''' ''Sihorn'') is a dual-type {{2t|Ground|Rock}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation I]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Rhydon}} starting at [[level]] 42, which evolves into {{p|Rhyperior}} when [[Trade Evolution|traded]] while holding a [[Protector]].

(Specifics may differ in past games. Refer to [[#Evolution data|Game data→Evolution data]] for these details.)

==Biology==
Rhyhorn is a {{wp|rhinoceros}}-like {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with a body covered in gray, rocky plates. Its underside and rear are smooth, and it has four short legs with two claws on each foot. It has a triangular head with narrow, red eyes, two fangs protruding from its upper jaw, small, triangular openings on the upper sides, and a horn on the tip of its snout. A female will have a shorter horn than a male. A spiked ridge runs along its back. In addition to its rocky hide, its bones are a thousand times harder than human bones.

Rhyhorn's brain is very small, giving it a one-track mind. When it runs, it forgets why it started and continues until it falls asleep. However, it may recall the reason for demolishing something. Due to its short legs, it is inept at turning and can only run in straight lines. It does not care if obstacles get in the way, merely smashing through them or sending them flying, although it may feel pain the day after a collision. This personality is how Rhyorn expands its territory. Rhyhorn is powerful enough to shatter skyscrapers or mountains instantly after charging forward with head tackles. Rhyhorn lives in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Rough-terrain Pokémon|rough terrain}}. A Rhyhorn's territory expands to six miles.

===Evolution===
Rhyhorn evolves into {{p|Rhydon}}, which evolves into {{p|Rhyperior}}.

(For specifics on this Pokémon's Evolution in the games, refer to [[#Evolution data|Game data→Evolution data]].)

===NPC appearances===
* {{g|X and Y}}: In X and Y, the {{player}}'s [[mother]], {{kal|Grace}}, is a retired Rhyhorn racer. Her Rhyhorn partner lounges outside her house. The player can ride it, but cannot take it outside the small front lawn. The player can ride another Rhyhorn on {{rt|9|Kalos}}, which is the only way to cross the jagged, rocky terrain to [[Glittering Cave]].

{{main|Rhyhorn (TCG)}}

==Trivia==
* In the [[Generation I]] games, Rhyhorn, {{p|Slowpoke}}, and {{p|Magikarp}} are the only Pokémon to have their [[List of Pokémon icons in Generations I and II|icon]] changed upon [[Evolution]].
** This makes Rhyhorn the only Pokémon that is not a {{type|Water}} Pokémon to have its icon changed upon Evolution in the Generation I games.
* Prior to [[Generation VI]], Rhyhorn and {{p|Charizard}} had an identical [[cry]].
* In several games from Generation I onwards, the [[Pokédex]] states that Rhyhorn has powerful tackles. However, Rhyhorn was unable to learn {{m|Tackle}} until [[Generation VIII]].
** This was first said in Rhyhorn's Pokédex entry from Japanese {{game|Red and Green|s}}, although this entry was left untranslated until it was reused in [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions|Pokémon FireRed]]. Rhyhorn's Japanese Pokédex entries correctly use Tackle's Japanese name 「たいあたり」, or its equivalent 「体当た」 in kanji mode.
* Rhyhorn and its evolutionary relatives are the only dual-type Rock/Ground Pokémon to have Ground as their primary type instead of their secondary type.
* In [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]], Rhyhorn and {{p|Rhydon}} cannot learn {{m|Thunderbolt}}, even though they were able to in all other games in which Thunderbolt could be learned outside of leveling up.

===Origin===
Rhyhorn's design appears to be inspired by an {{wp|Indian rhinoceros}}, which has similar plated armor; and an ''{{wp|Uintatherium}}'', from whom it may have taken its flat head and horn. Its design also has elements of {{wp|Ceratopsidae|ceratopsids}}.

====Name origin====
Rhyhorn may be a combination of ''{{wp|rhinoceros}}'', ''{{wp|rhyolite}}'' (a type of rock, referring to its {{t|Rock}} type), and ''horn''.

Sihorn may be a combination of 犀 ''sai'' (rhinoceros) and ''horn''.

'''Kabutops''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''カブトプス''' ''Kabutops'') is a dual-type {{2t|Rock|Water}} [[Fossil|Fossil Pokémon]] introduced in [[Generation I]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Kabuto}} starting at [[level]] 40.

==Biology==
Kabutops is a bipedal prehistoric {{wp|arthropod}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with a skeletal, {{a|Battle Armor|well-armored}} build. It has a flat, half-circular head with a point on each side and two small eyes on the front. It is mostly brown, except for its light gray chest and abdomen. There is a ridge down its back with three flat spines on either side and it has a flat, pointed tail. Instead of hands, its forearms have large, sharp, gray scythes. Its thin legs are brown lead to small feet with two large gray claws.

Before it went extinct, Kabutops was in the process of evolving into a land dweller as evident by changes in its gills and legs. This change is thought to be due to its prey moving onto land as well. In its {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Sea Pokémon|ocean home}}, Kabutops could tuck up its limbs to help it swim extremely fast, up to roughly 29 knots. It used its sharp scythes to slice enemies and drink their internal fluids. Any leftovers left behind by Kabutops are consumed by other Pokémon. It is unknown what led to Kabutops's extinction.

===Evolution===
Kabutops evolves from {{p|Kabuto}}.

(For specifics on this Pokémon's Evolution in the games, refer to [[#Evolution data|Game data→Evolution data]].)

==Trivia==

* In the [[Pokémon Red and Green beta|Pokémon Red and Blue beta]], Kabutops was originally known as "Lantis". This is derived from the word "{{wp|Atlantis}}".
* The radio drama ''[[The Birth of Mewtwo]]'' contains an announcement about Kabutops's discovery by a Pokémon academic circle, where it is believed to be the oldest Pokémon discovered and said to have retained its original form since 2 million years ago.
* Kabutops has a scientific name, ''Kabutops maximus'', which was stated in ''[[EP163|Fossil Fools]]''. The only other Pokémon with a known scientific name is {{p|Oddish}}, with ''Oddium wanderus''. The name ''Kabutops maximus'' does have real meaning; when translated, it means "the largest kabuto-face", referring to the size and shape of Kabutops's head.
* Kabutops and its pre-evolved form share their {{pkmn|category}} name with {{p|Blastoise}}. They are all known as the Shellfish Pokémon.

===Origin===
Kabutops appear to be based on {{wp|eurypterid}}s, prehistoric arthropods that hunted in seas and rivers and are believed to have been related to modern horseshoe crabs. The large head is also identical to the cephalon in {{wp|trilobite}}s and the spines down the back resemble their thoracic sections, though the scythes and predatory nature closely resemble eurypterids more. Because of the cross-similarities, it may also be based on the ''{{wp|Cheirurus}}'' genus of trilobites.

====Name origin====
Kabutops may be derived from 兜蝦 ''kabutoebi'' (''{{wp|Triops}}''), 兜 ''{{wp|kabuto}}'' (helmet), ''Triops'', and ''‑ops'' (common suffix in names of prehistoric animals derived from the Ancient Greek word for face).

'''Aerodactyl''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''プテラ''' ''Ptera'') is a dual-type {{2t|Rock|Flying}} [[Fossil|Fossil Pokémon]] introduced in [[Generation I]].

It is revived from an [[Old Amber]]. While it is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon, Aerodactyl can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into '''Mega Aerodactyl''' using the [[Aerodactylite]].

==Biology==
[[File:Aerodactyl OS concept art.png|thumb|200px|left|Reference sheet of Aerodactyl for the [[original series]]]]
Aerodactyl is a {{wp|reptile|reptilian}}, bipedal prehistoric {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that resembles a {{wp|pterosaur}} with several draconic features. It has small sharply pointed ears, narrow dark green eyes, a ridged snout, a gaping mouth, and a strong lower jaw full of serrated fangs. Its body is covered in light blue-gray skin and it has large, violet membranous wings. The clawed hands at the end of each wing allow it to grasp objects. There is a hump-like ridge with a spike on its back, and it has a strong tail with an arrow-shaped tip. Its talon-like feet have two toes in front and one in the back, and are capable of scooping up and tightly clutching its prey in flight.

Aerodactyl's serrated saw-like fangs and ferocious attitude were very imposing in its time. Its fangs can rip out throats and tear through the skin of any Pokémon to pieces, even {{type|Steel}} Pokémon. By spreading its wings, Aerodactyl is believed to have flown by gliding through the skies, freely letting out its high-pitched cries. However, it is slow to walk on land. It liked to nest in the {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|mountains}}, where it enjoyed both safety and seclusion. Aerodactyl lived in prehistoric times, and was theorized to have gone extinct because of a giant meteor impact. It was restored in modern times using genetic material extracted from amber; some casualties occurred during these attempts. Even still, this restoration is not considered perfect.

===Forms===
Aerodactyl can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into Mega Aerodactyl.

As Mega Aerodactyl, its eyes turn bright green and parts of its body turn to stone, which some researchers believe to be its original appearance before fossilization.<ref>[http://www.pokemonxy.com/en-us/pokemon/mega_pokemon/#Mega%20Aerodactyl Mega Aerodactyl | Pokémon X and Pokémon Y] ([https://web.archive.org/web/20160406143554/http://www.pokemonxy.com/en-us/pokemon/mega_pokemon/#Mega%20Aerodactyl archived])</ref>It grows larger and sprouts jagged black spiky rocks all over its body: five spikes at the wrist joint of each wing replacing its hands, three small spikes along its tail, one spike on each ear, and a long spike on its chin. The spike on its back and its rear talons have also become black and stony. Rocky plates cover its eyebrows and the corners of its jaw. Similar stone ornaments are present on its chest on its torso: two small ridges flanking a longer ridge.

The power of [[Mega Evolution]] allows some of Aerodactyl's dormant genes to reawaken. Some scholars claim that Mega Aerodactyl is Aerodactyl's true appearance from prehistory before it was revived. Some of the rocks on Mega Aerodactyl's body are harder than diamond. Because of the burden of Mega Evolution, Mega Aerodactyl is fiercer and more irritable than before. As a result, Mega Aerodactyl attacks anything that moves.

====Major appearances====

In ''[[JN038|Restore and Renew!]]'', [[Goh]] found an [[Old Amber]] in the [[Pewter Museum of Science]], which was revived into an Aerodactyl due to Team Rocket's intervention. It went berserk as a result, but Goh caught it after calming it down.

====Other====
Aerodactyl debuted in ''[[EP046|Attack of the Prehistoric Pokémon]]'', where it scared off the other [[Kanto]]nian Fossil Pokémon that were chasing {{Ash}} and {{TRT}}.

In ''[[HS15|Putting the Air Back in Aerodactyl!]]'', an Aerodactyl was revived by [[Gary Oak]]. It seemed to enjoy eating a pear-like fruit that grew in the forests of an island. [[Team Rocket]] agents [[Butch]] and [[Cassidy]] wanted to steal this Aerodactyl and present it to [[Dr. Namba]], but were stopped by [[Gary's Umbreon]] and {{p|Dodrio}}, and the Aerodactyl itself, who sent the two Rockets flying with a {{m|Hyper Beam}}.

In ''[[DP017|Wild in the Streets]]'', Team Rocket accidentally revived an Aerodactyl from its fossil. Angered and confused, it terrorized [[Oreburgh City]]. It was eventually stopped by [[Dawn's Piplup]] and {{TP|Dawn|Buneary}} before [[Dr. Kenzo]] {{pkmn2|caught}} it

In ''[[XY125|A League of His Own!]]'', {{an|Trevor}} was revealed to have caught an Aerodactyl. It was used in his battle against [[Alain]] in the [[Lumiose Conference]], where it went up against {{TP|Alain|Charizard}} but was soon defeated.

==Trivia==
* Aerodactyl shares its {{pkmn|category}} with {{p|Arctovish}}, {{p|Arctozolt}}, {{p|Dracovish}}, and {{p|Dracozolt}}. They are all known as the Fossil Pokémon.
* Aerodactyl is the only [[Fossil|Fossil Pokémon]] capable of [[Mega Evolution]].
** Prior to [[Generation VIII]], it was also the only Fossil Pokémon obtainable in any way other than reviving its fossil, breeding, or via the {{pkmn|Dream World}}, as it was available through an [[in-game trade]] in [[Generation II]], as a {{pkmn2|gift}} in [[Generation VII]], and was one of [[Hayley's trades]].
* Mega Aerodactyl has the highest base {{stat|Speed}} stat of all {{type|Rock}} Pokémon.
* Aerodactyl is the only Pokémon owned by [[Lance]] and [[Clair]] in the [[core series]] who is not a {{type|Dragon}} Pokémon nor a Pokémon belonging to the {{egg|Dragon}} [[Egg Group]].
** This is likely due to pterosaurs being known as "winged dragons" (翼竜 ''yokuryū'') in Japanese, further explaining why it is called a "dragon" by an old man in [[Pewter Museum of Science]] in [[Generation I|Generations I]], {{gen|III}}, and {{gen|VII}}, as well as suggesting why its appearance is influenced by that of {{wp|wyvern}}s.
* Aerodactyl was available through an in-game trade in {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}, but not in {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, likely because the [[Old Amber]] could be obtained and revived in these games.
* Aerodactyl is the first Fossil Pokémon to have its {{pkmn|Egg}} shown in the {{pkmn|animated series}}.
* Aerodactyl is one of four non-Hoenn Dex Pokémon available in [[Pokémon Pinball: Ruby & Sapphire]]. The others are {{p|Chikorita}}, {{p|Cyndaquil}}, and {{p|Totodile}}.
* In the [[Pokémon Red and Green beta]], Aerodactyl was revived from a Wing Fossil instead of an Old Amber.
* In the [[Pokémon Red and Green beta|Pokémon Red and Blue beta]], Aerodactyl was originally known as "Ptera", its Japanese name.
* In the ''[[Pocket Monsters Encyclopedia]]'', Aerodactyl was stated to be the predecessor of birds. This, alongside many facts in the book, would be retconned by future content in the games, specifically by the introduction of {{p|Archeops}}.
* Aerodactyl was [[List of references to Pokémon in science|the inspiration for the naming]] of ''{{wp|Aerodactylus}}'', a genus of {{wp|pterosaur}}s. The genus name was chosen in reference to Aerodactyl having traits derived from various pterosaur species.<ref>Vidovic, S. U. & Martill, D. M. (2014). "[https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4206445/ ''Pterodactylus scolopaciceps'' Meyer, 1860 (Pterosauria, Pterodactyloidea) from the Upper Jurassic of Bavaria, Germany: The Problem of Cryptic Pterosaur Taxa in Early Ontogeny]". PLOS ONE. 9 (10): e110646.</ref>

===Origin===
Aerodactyl's design may based on {{wp|Pterodactyloidea|pterodactyloids}}, a family of {{wp|pterosaur}}s that lived in the {{wp|Jurassic}} period. Its long tail, however, may be derived from {{wp|Rhamphorhynchoidea|rhamphorhynchids}}. Additionally, its pointed wings, spaded tail, and robust jaws give it the resemblance of a {{wp|dragon}}, specifically {{wp|wyvern}}s.

The rocks that appear on Mega Aerodactyl's body may be a reference to {{wp|atavism}} whereby an ancestral genetic trait reappears after having been lost through evolutionary change in previous generations. The rock on Mega Aerodactyl's chin resembles a {{wp|goatee}}. Mega Aerodactyl's design might also be inspired by revisioned paleoart that depicts species with feathers or quills, unlike older paleoart that only shows those species with scales or smooth skin.

====Name origin====
Aerodactyl may be a combination of ἀέρος ''aéros'' ({{wp|Greek language|Greek}} for ''air'') or aeroplane, and ''{{wp|Pterosaur|pterodactyl}}''.

Ptera may be derived from ''{{wp|pterosaur}}'' or ''{{wp|Pteranodon}}''.

'''Crocalor''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''アチゲータ''' ''Achigator'') is a {{type|Fire}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation IX]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Fuecoco}} starting at [[level]] 16 and evolves into {{p|Skeledirge}} starting at level 36.

==Biology==
Crocalor is a bipedal, crocodilian Pokémon. Its stout, melon-shaped body is primarily red, but its face and chest are white simulating a mask; its hands and feet are black with three digits each. It has yellow rectangular scales covering its back and tail, and a pattern of black and yellow stripes on its chest. Its face has a long snout, red square cheeks, a pattern of two red triangles resembling nostrils, and a hook-like upper jaw. When Crocalor opens its mouth, three pairs of sharp teeth can be seen lining its lower jaw.

Atop Crocalor's head is an orange mass of fire energy shaped like a nest, with yellow squares patterning it. This "nest" contains a yellow, glowing, egg-shaped fireball on top, borne out of Crocalor's fire energy and overflowing vitality. Crocalor can control the fireball, sending it out and using it for its moves.<ref name=SVsite/> As shown in Pokémon Sleep, Crocalor and its evolutionary relatives are known to sometimes sleep with one eye open. The fireball on Crocalor's head never falls off even as the Pokémon sways rhythmically in its sleep.

Crocalor's internal flame sac has a valve that connects to its vocal cords. As a result, Crocalor lets out guttural cries as it releases fire from its mouth. Its voice can hardly be described as beautiful; moreover, its voice becomes more destructive as it breathes more powerful fire.<ref name=SVsite>[https://scarletviolet.pokemon.com/en-us/pokemon/crocalor/ Crocalor — Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet | Official Website]</ref>

===Main series===
====Major appearances====
=====[[Roy's Crocalor]]=====
Crocalor physically debuted in the main series in ''[[HZ067|Shine on, Terastallization! Liko vs. Roy!]]'', after [[Roy]]'s {{p|Fuecoco}} [[Evolution|evolved]] during his battle against [[Liko]] in the [[Tera Training Student Battle Tournament]]. In the same episode, he {{Tera}}stallized into a {{t|Fire}} [[type]] for the first time as a Crocalor. He evolved into {{p|Skeledirge}} during [[HZ119]].

====Minor appearances====
An image of a Crocalor appeared on an advertisement in ''[[HZ016|Quaxly, We Can Do It]]''. The same advertisement later reappeared in ''[[HZ049|Dot and Nidothing]]''.

===Dragonite and the Special Delivery===
[[File:Hana Crocalor.png|250px|thumb|Crocalor in ''[[Dragonite and the Special Delivery]]'']]
In the epilogue of ''[[Dragonite and the Special Delivery]]'', it was revealed that [[Hana (Dragonite and the Special Delivery)|Hana]]'s {{p|Fuecoco}} evolved into a Crocalor.

==In the manga==
[[File:Violet Crocalor.png|220px|thumb|Crocalor in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
===Pokémon Adventures===
Crocalor debuted in [[PASV10]], where {{Violet}}'s Fuecoco evolved into one.
{{-}}

==In the TCG==
{{main|Crocalor (TCG)}}
==Trivia==
* In [[Generation IX]], prior to the Version 2.0.1 update of {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}, Crocalor was unable to learn {{m|Encore}} via [[TM]], while its evolutionary relatives could.

===Origin===
Crocalor resembles a {{wp|crocodile}} with a {{wp|calavera}} pattern. In {{g|Sleep}}, Crocalor and its evolutionary relatives are revealed to sleep with one eye open, just like real-life crocodiles. Its {{t|Fire|Fire type}} may be inspired by the fact that crocodiles release excess heat through their mouths.

The fire decorations on Crocalor's head resembles a nest for the egg-shaped fireball. This may reference certain crocodilian behaviors such as them {{wp|Crocodilia#Cognition|balancing sticks and branches on their heads to lure nest-building birds}}; or how some bird species benefit from nearby crocodilians predating ovivores, thus protecting their nests. Additionally, it may be based on {{wp|Trochilus (crocodile bird)|trochilus}}, a legendary bird (speculated to be a {{wp|Egyptian plover}} or a {{wp|Spur-winged lapwing}}) depicted as having a {{wp|cleaning symbiosis}} relationship with a {{wp|Nile crocodile}}. The decorations also resemble a {{wp|sombrero}} or a {{wp|Easter mona}}, a Spanish Easter cake served with a hard-boiled egg or egg-shaped confectionery on top.

The white calavera pattern on Crocalor's may suggest it being based on certain hat-wearing {{wp|calaca}}s associated with the Mexican holiday of the {{wp|Day of the Dead}}, such as a stereotypical skeleton {{wp|mariachi}} or {{wp|La Calavera Catrina}}. The former could also explain Crocalor's association with singing. Additionally, the "nest" atop its head vaguely resembles a bouquet of {{wp|Tagetes erecta|Mexican marigold}}, put on display to honor the dead. Its body shape and variegated body markings may be loosely inspired by a {{wp|piñata}}.

Crocalor may also be a reference to some crocodile legends in the {{wp|Iberian Peninsula}}, such as the {{wp|ca:Drac_de_na_Coca|Drac de Na Coca}}, whose preserved body with an exposed skull may have inspired Crocalor's skeletal appearance, and whose presence in pyrotechnical {{wp|correfoc}} festivities may have inspired Crocalor's Fire type. It may also be based on {{wp|Coco (folklore)#Mythical_animals|Cucafera}}, depicted as a crocodilian dragon creature with round body.

====Name origin====
Crocalor may be a combination of ''crocodile'' and ''calor'' (Spanish and Portuguese for heat). It may also involve ''vocal'' or ''{{wp|coloratura}}'' (an ornamentation of vocal melody).

Achigator may be a combination of あちち ''achichi'' ("hot!"), ''{{wp|mariachi}}'', and ''alligator''.

'''Fuecoco''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ホゲータ''' ''Hogator'') is a {{type|Fire}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation IX]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Crocalor}} starting at [[level]] 16, which evolves into {{p|Skeledirge}} starting at level 36.

Along with {{p|Sprigatito}} and {{p|Quaxly}}, Fuecoco is one of the three [[Paldea first partner Pokémon|first partner Pokémon of Paldea]] available at the beginning of [[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet]]. They were also the first Generation IX Pokémon to be revealed to the public on February 27, 2022, through a [[Pokémon Presents]] video presentation.

==Biology==
[[File:Fuecoco emiting light.png|250px|thumb|left|Fuecoco emitting light from the tufts on its head]]
[[File:Sleep Style 0909-1.png|thumb|right|200px|Fuecoco sleeps with one eye open]]
Fuecoco is a bipedal crocodilian Pokémon with a mostly red body and a white stomach and face. Its body contains a small flame sac, which constantly leaks fire energy due to its size. The energy releases in the form of two bright yellow tufts of flame on top of its head; should Fuecoco get excited, more of these tufts of flame may emerge.<ref name=SVsite/> As shown in the in the {{aniseries|HZ}} episode ''[[HZ022|Charge! Galar Mine!]]'', Fuecoco's tufts can emit light. Fuecoco has black eyes and triangular nostrils, and its mouth has three teeth, with one in the upper jaw and two in the lower jaw. It has stubby arms and large feet with two black toes on each foot. Fuecoco has yellow square scales on its stomach, back, tail, and the soles of its feet. These scales are warm to the touch, although they can become heated. The scales absorb external heat, such as from warm rocks where it lies on, to be turned into fire energy.<ref name=SVsite>[https://scarletviolet.pokemon.com/en-us/pokemon/fuecoco/ Fuecoco — Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet | Official Website]</ref>

Fuecoco is laid-back and does things at its own pace. It enjoys eating, and it will rush towards any food it sees.<ref name=SVsite/> As shown in Pokémon Sleep, Fuecoco and its Evolutions are known to sometimes sleep with one eye open. While asleep, Fuecoco sometimes moves its mouth as if it is chewing.

==In the TCG==
{{main|Fuecoco (TCG)}}
==Trivia==
* Fuecoco is tied with {{p|Slugma}}, {{p|Litten}}, {{p|Salandit}}, {{p|Scorbunny}}, and {{p|Charcadet}} for the lowest base {{stat|Special Defense}} stat of all Fire-type Pokémon.

===Origin===
Fuecoco appears to be based on a baby {{wp|crocodile}}, although it has some similarities to {{wp|theropod}} dinosaurs and crocodile-shaped toys. In {{g|Sleep}}, Fuecoco and its Evolutions are revealed to sleep with one eye open, just like real-life crocodiles. Its {{t|Fire|Fire typing}} may be inspired by the fact that crocodiles release excess heat through their mouths. Alternatively, The fiery tufts on its head, its coloration, and its overall body shape together make it resemble a {{wp|bell pepper}} or a {{wp|chili pepper}}, like the {{wp|ghost pepper}}.

Given its final [[Evolution]], the light color of its face might be inspired by a {{wp|calavera}} design, commonly found in celebrations of the Mexican holiday of the {{wp|Day of the Dead}}. Fuecoco may also reference to some crocodile legends in the {{wp|Iberian Peninsula}}, such as the {{wp|ca:Drac_de_na_Coca|Drac de Na Coca}}, whose preserved body with an exposed skull may have inspired a skeletal appearance, and whose presence in pyrotechnical {{wp|correfoc}} festivities may have inspired its Fire type. It may also be based on {{wp|Coco (folklore)#Mythical_animals|Cucafera}}, depicted as a crocodilian dragon creature with a round body.

====Name origin====
Fuecoco may be a combination of ''fuego'' (Spanish for fire) and ''cocodrilo'' (Spanish for crocodile). It may also come from ''fuocoso'' (Italian for fiery, especially relating to music).

Hogator may be a combination of 火 ''ho'' (fire), ほげー ''hogē'' (onomatopoeia for being dumbfounded), ''fogata'' (Spanish for campfire) or ''hoguera'' (Spanish for bonfire), and ''{{wp|alligator|gator}}''. It may also involve ''{{wp|Malagueta pepper|malagueta}}'' (type of chili pepper) or ''{{wp|Aframomum melegueta|melegueta}}'' (grains of paradise; a spice).

'''Unown''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''アンノーン''' ''Unknown'') is a {{type|Psychic}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation II]].

While it is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon, as of [[Generation III#Kanto|Generation III]], Unown has [[List of Pokémon with form differences#Unown|28 derivative shapes]], chronicled in the [[Unown Mode]] in [[Generation II]] and the [[Unown Report]] in {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}. There are 26 Latin alphabet characters, plus ''?'' (question mark) and ''!'' (exclamation mark) introduced in [[Generation III]]. In Generation II, its shape is determined by its [[individual values]]; in Generation III, it is determined by its [[personality value]]; from Generation IV onward, it is determined by a separate form identifier.

==Biology==
Unown is a flat, thin {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} shaped like an eye with appendages that make it resemble a letter or a punctuation mark. It is entirely black, except for its white sclerae. All twenty-six alphabetic forms of Unown have fully open eyes while the two punctuation Unown have half-closed eyes. Though each of its forms has a counterpart in the Latin alphabet, Unown is said to resemble ancient writing and hieroglyphs. It is a mystery whether Unown predates or postdates written language, and therefore which one is based on the other.

The Pokédex and Professor Oak's research disagree on whether Unown communicates using electromagnetic waves or telepathy. Either way, it can be detected by the [[Pokégear]] radio, which interprets it as the melody of the [[Azure Flute]]. It is said that an "odd power" emerges when more than one Unown come together. [[M03|In the anime]], it is capable of reading the thoughts of other life forms. Great numbers of Unown are capable of distorting the reality to suit the dreams and wishes of whoever is in control of the Unown. However, they can only do this when more Unown are present, so it could be a shared effort rather than an ability unique to each Unown.

Unown is an extremely {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Rare Pokémon|rare Pokémon}} that lives in [[Unown Dimension|its own dimension]] and rarely ventures outside. When it moves to the [[Pokémon world]], Unown tends to stick to walls like engravings of ancient texts or orbit other Unown.

In [[Generation VIII]], {{m|Hidden Power}} is Unown's [[signature move]].

==In the anime==
[[File:Unown anime.png|thumb|250px|Unown in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]
===Major appearances===
====[[Unown (M03)]]====
Unown played a large role in ''[[M03|Spell of the Unown: Entei]]'', creating the illusions that drive the plot.

Notes about Unown can be seen on {{an|Professor Oak}}'s computer at the beginning of the movie. The information (as presented in the Japanese version) has been cleaned up and transcribed here:
* Because of their very timid and careful character, Unown do not want to go out to the external world.
* Unown have the power to perceive the feelings of other creatures (including human beings).
* Unown communicate with each other over electromagnetic waves but cannot use telepathy.
* Given all this, Unown are still classified as a species of Pokémon, as opposed to any other sort of creature.

====Other====
In ''[[EP263|Address Unown!]]'', an Unown G fell out of the [[Unown Dimension]]. After it was healed by the group, it helped defend them against {{TRT}}, and its mind merged with that of [[Ash's Larvitar]] so that the group could help it address its inner pain.

[[File:Tablet DP060.png|thumb|250px|The tablet]]
Markings of Unown were observed on a tablet in ''[[DP040|Top-Down Training]]''. The tablet reads:

In ''[[DP060|Journey to the Unown!]]'', [[Saturn]] had his {{p|Bronzor}} use {{m|Confuse Ray}} on multiple Unown, causing trouble for {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}}. The tablet from ''Top-Down Training'' also appeared in this episode. The Unown reappeared in a flashback in ''[[DP069|Enter Galactic!]]''.

In [[PK21]], an Unown F fell out of the [[Unown Dimension]] following an unspecified incident, and {{AP|Pikachu}} and his friends had to help it return to the Unown Dimension so it could reunite with the other Unown.

In [[JN083]], five Unown covered a town in [[Johto]] with an endless night in order to help [[Kirara]] accept parting ways with her {{p|Cleffa}}. Once she finally realised it was time to say goodbye, the Unown returned day to the town and departed.

===Minor appearances===
In ''[[The Mastermind of Mirage Pokémon]]'', a {{pkmn2|Mirage}} Unown G was created by the [[Dr. Yung|Mirage Master]].

In ''[[M10|The Rise of Darkrai]]'', multiple Unown fled from {{mov|Dialga}} and {{mov|Palkia}} in the Unown Dimension. Others appeared during the opening sequence.

===={{chap|Gold, Silver & Crystal}}====
Unown first appeared in ''[[PS100|Into the Unown]]'' at the [[Ruins of Alph]]. During a battle with [[Team Rocket]], {{adv|Gold}} has his {{p|Sunkern|Sunbo}} use {{m|Flash}}, accidentally awakening the Unown from their slumber. Angered, the Unown retaliated on the [[Team Rocket Elite Trio]], defeating them. [[Bugsy]] later returns to study the Ruins further in ''[[PS134|Hurray for Heracross]]'', where he captures an Unown G and gave to one of his colleagues. Later as he searches for Suicune he finds two chambers with Unown markings. Using his device to translate them, they read the following.

Three Unown appeared in a flashback in ''[[PS139|Raising Raichu]]'', being the N, G, and U forms.

===={{chap|FireRed & LeafGreen}}====
In ''[[PS280|Some Things Are Better Left Unown]]'', [[Sird]] gains the control of a small army of Unown after awakening them in the [[Tanoby Ruins]]. She initially uses them as a distraction against [[Lorelei]], allowing her to defeat the [[Elite Four]] member. Sird later uses them to impede the progress of {{adv|Red}}, {{adv|Blue}} and {{adv|Green}} as they head to the [[Trainer Tower]]. Also, two Unown of the ! and ? forms followed {{adv|Giovanni}} to [[Birth Island]] to relay his successful capture of {{adv|Deoxys}} back to the [[Rocket Warehouse|Team Rocket Warehouse]].

===={{chap|Diamond & Pearl}}====
In ''[[PS384|Knowledge of the Unown I]]'', a D and P Unown befriended {{adv|Diamond}}, {{adv|Pearl}} and {{adv|Platinum}} in [[Solaceon Town]]. The two enlisted the help of the Pokédex holders to free their friends from a chamber in the [[Solaceon Ruins]]. Later, they helped battle [[Team Galactic]] at [[Veilstone City]].

Multiple Unown appeared in ''[[PS406|Halting Honchkrow]]'' and ''[[PS407|Chancing Upon Chingling]]''.

===={{chap|HeartGold & SoulSilver}}====
In ''[[PS455|All About Arceus IV]]'', a massive group of Unown were spawned at the [[Sinjoh Ruins]] when {{adv|Arceus}} created {{DL|Creation trio (Adventures)|Dialga}}, {{DL|Creation trio (Adventures)|Palkia}}, and {{DL|Creation trio (Adventures)|Giratina}}.

===Pokémon Gotta Catch 'Em All===
Multiple Unown appeared in [[GDZ58]].

An Unown appeared in [[GDZ59]].

===Pokémon Pocket Monsters===
Multiple Unown appeared in all of the species' forms in ''[[PM072|Rampage at the Ruins of Alph!!]]''.

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

The English [[Pokédex]] data for Unown cards in the {{TCG|Neo Destiny}} expansion say that it is believed that the variety of types of Unown is a result of {{wp|adaptation|evolutionary adaptation}}, but this is not present in the original Japanese text.

==Other appearances==
===[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]===
When one Unown is released from a {{i|Poké Ball}}, it will fly off the screen. It then returns with a large swarm, similar to what {{p|Beedrill}} did in the original [[Super Smash Bros.]] The only difference is that Beedrill only attacks from left or right while Unown can come from any direction. Any opponent caught in this barrage is damaged and juggled.

There are also a number of Unown Poké Floats featured in the [[Poké Floats]] stage. In the second half of the stage's cycle, numerous Unown fly across the screen. Towards the end of the cycle, staying on the stage relies on hopping between the Unown.

====Trophy information====
''These Psychic-type symbol Pokémon resemble ancient hieroglyphics found on rocks, a resemblance that's said to be more than superficial. Quite a few different shapes of Unown have been confirmed, and it's believed that each type has unique abilities. These enigmatic Pokémon can be found in the [[Ruins of Alph]].''

===[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]===
Unown does not return as a Poké Ball Pokémon, though it is a {{sbw|Spirits (characters)|Spirit}}, appearing in its F form.

==Trivia==
[[File:Composite Unreleased Unown.png|thumb|The Unown featured in ''[[M03|Spell of the Unown: Entei]]'']]
* In ''[[M03|Spell of the Unown: Entei]]'', {{an|Professor Oak}} had some pictures of Unown on his computer which have never appeared in any other media. Some resemble {{wp|Greek alphabet}} letters, particularly σ (lowercase {{wp|sigma}}), Σ (capital sigma), Π (capital {{wp|pi (letter)|pi}}), and Ω (capital {{wp|omega}}). The top left large image also resembles the Greek ligature, Ȣ ({{wp|ou (ligature)|ou}}). Others resemble the {{wp|Cyrillic script|Cyrillic}} letters ю ({{wp|yu (Cyrillic)|yu}}) and б (lowercase {{wp|be (Cyrillic)|be}}). The Unown in the top-middle large image resembles the Cyrillic я ({{wp|ya (Cyrillic)|ya}}).
* If a player does not have Unown's Pokédex data on a [[Generation II]] game when in Oak's lab in [[Pokémon Stadium 2]], Unown's Pokédex number is listed as 252 instead of 201. This happens regardless of which Pokédex display mode is selected.
* Unown is the only Pokémon with a base stat total of 336.
* Unown currently is represented in the {{pkmn|Trading Card Game}} by the most cards of any Pokémon after Pikachu, with {{#expr: {{PAGESINCATEGORY:Unown (TCG)}} - 1}} unique cards.
* Unown is the only [[Generation II Pokémon]] that has [[List of Pokémon that do not appear in any regional Browser|not been featured]] in a Ranger series game.
** It is also the only Generation II Pokémon obtainable in Generation VII that cannot have the {{DL|Origin mark|Black clover|black clover}} as its [[origin mark]].
* Due to Unown's letter and [[Shiny Pokémon|Shininess]] both being determined by {{IV}}s in Generation II, Shiny Unown will always be either an I or V in these games.
** This in turn matches the acronym for IVs, which determined its Shiny status. However, this is only a coincidence, as "Indivdiual Values" (IVs) is a fan-originated term.
* Unown is the only Pokémon in the [[List of Pokémon by Sinnoh Pokédex number|Sinnoh Pokédex]] (that is not a {{pkmn2|Legendary}} or [[Mythical Pokémon]]) not used by any Trainer in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}.
* The two main official artworks for Unown represent [[:File:201Unown GS.png|a G-shaped Unown]] (for Pokémon Gold and Silver Versions) and [[:File:201Unown.png|an F-shaped one]] (for Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire Versions onward), which may allude to the acronym for [[Game Freak]].
* Despite Unown being able to use [[TM10]] in [[Generation VI]] and [[Generation VII]], it still cannot do so legitimately because it will always already know {{m|Hidden Power}}.
* Unown is the only Pokémon that cannot learn any [[status move]]s.
* Starting in [[Generation IV]], where moves were split into [[damage category|categories]] based on themselves and not their types, Unown can only use its Attack (not Special Attack) stat for {{status|confusion}} damage and {{m|Struggle}}.
* Excluding {{pkmn2|starter}}, {{pkmn2|Legendary}}, and [[Mythical Pokémon]], the Unown evolution family is the only:
** Generation II evolution family that was never obtainable via the [[Pokémon Dream World]] in [[Generation V]].
** Generation I, II, III, or IV evolution family that was never obtainable via the Generation V [[Pokémon Global Link]].
* While most Pokémon have a right-facing menu sprite that is a mirror image of their left-facing sprite, most forms of Unown are asymmetrical and have a unique sprite for both. The ones that do not are A, I, M, O, T, U, W, X, Y, and !.

===Origin===
Unown's appearances are corruptions of the 26 letters of the modern {{wp|Latin alphabet}}, as well as the {{wp|exclamation mark|exclamation}} and {{wp|question mark}}s. The G form of Unown specifically is based on a double-story lowercase {{wp|G}}. The shapes of the Unown are used like graphic symbols in the [[Pokémon world]], although in [[Hoenn]] and the [[Sevii Islands]], their place is taken by {{wp|Braille}}. Unown being weak alone and strong together may be inspired by the idea that a single letter can not convey much information, but many letters forming a sentence can communicate a hypothetically infinite number of interpretations and ideas.

====Name origin====
Unown is a corruption of ''unknown''.

Unknown is literally ''unknown''.
