== What is the point of this? ==

I've never really gotten the point of why articles are titled like [[Pikachu (Pokémon)]] instead of just [[Pikachu]]. Can someone explain the reasoning behind this? [[User:CuteShaymin|CuteShaymin]] ([[User talk:CuteShaymin|talk]]) 21:27, 23 July 2024 (UTC)
:You can read up on our policy page here [[Bulbapedia:Disambiguation|here]]. The reasoning is also given a much more in depth explanation by the Editor in Chief of the time here: [[Help talk:Disambiguation/Archive 1#Why we use the (Pokémon) in the first place?]]. ''[[User:Maverick Nate|'''Maverick''']][[User talk:Maverick Nate|'''Nate''']]'' 23:34, 23 July 2024 (UTC)

==Upgraded Pokémon Infobox==
We are upgrading the Pokémon infobox to be more user and mobile friendly, prioritize useful data, and shift some obsolete items elsewhere in the species articles. Our current sample from {{u|Tiddlywinks}} is here: [[User:Tiddlywinks/PokemonDivbox/Sample/Gengar|Infobox Sample]]. Feedback is welcome, and opinions on what items should be included and why are appreciated. ''[[User:Maverick Nate|'''Maverick''']][[User talk:Maverick Nate|'''Nate''']]'' 04:02, 19 July 2024 (UTC)
:That is horribly useless it loses a whole bunch of data that isn't anywhere else. Catch Rate, Hatch Speed, EXP Yield, EXP Group, Color, Footprint, Friendship, Shape.[[User:AztecCroc|AztecCroc]] ([[User talk:AztecCroc|talk]]) 20:24, 19 August 2024 (UTC)
::I think we can reasonably move some of that info elsewhere without it needing to take up prime real estate in the infobox. Is there any info you've listed that you feel would be crucial for keeping at the top of the page? Personally, I think things like "footprint" really don't need to be there, and aren't useful/practical data that most players need or readers would be looking for. I'm happy to be proven wrong though. [[User:Landfish7|'''Land''']][[User talk:Landfish7|'''fish7''']] 10:52, 20 August 2024 (UTC)
:::Why should we move it elsewhere? As it stands currently you can get everything except moveset and stats just from looking at the infobox. Having everything about the Pokemon in one place is far more useful then having to jump around all over the place just because someone thought it looked better on mobile.[[User:AztecCroc|AztecCroc]] ([[User talk:AztecCroc|talk]]) 20:30, 25 August 2024 (UTC)
:::: This is just a draft, we might end up bringing some elements back, while moving others I think. In any case, the infobox will be remade not only for a better mobile experience, but also because it has a enormous technical debt under the hood. — [[User:Lakelimbo|'''Lake'''limbo]] ([[User talk:Lakelimbo|talk]]) 00:00, 26 August 2024 (UTC)

== Add tabbers for available Pokémon's learnsets by generation ==

Now that the [[mw:Extension:TabberNeue|TabberNeue]] has been set up, I am wondering if we can repurpose the learnset sections' structure using transcluded tabbers for available Pokémon's learnsets by generation.

Take the page {{p|Bulbasaur}} for example. If the proposal gets approved, then this is what the structure of the learnset section for the Bulbasaur page will look like:

<pre>
===Learnset===
<tabbertransclude>
Bulbasaur (Pokémon)/Generation IX learnset|Generation IX
Bulbasaur (Pokémon)/Generation VIII learnset|Generation VIII
Bulbasaur (Pokémon)/Generation VII learnset|Generation VII
Bulbasaur (Pokémon)/Generation VI learnset|Generation VI
Bulbasaur (Pokémon)/Generation V learnset|Generation V
Bulbasaur (Pokémon)/Generation IV learnset|Generation IV
Bulbasaur (Pokémon)/Generation III learnset|Generation III
Bulbasaur (Pokémon)/Generation II learnset|Generation II
Bulbasaur (Pokémon)/Generation I learnset|Generation I
</tabbertransclude>
</pre>

Next off is an example of the {{p|Oricorio}} page. Despite being unobtainable in [[Generation VIII]], Oricorio is obtainable in the [[Generation IX]] games {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}. As such, if the proposal gets approved, then this is what the structure of the learnset for the Oricorio page will look like:

<pre>
===Learnset===
<tabbertransclude>
Oricorio (Pokémon)/Generation IX learnset|Generation IX
Oricorio (Pokémon)/Generation VII learnset|Generation VII
</tabbertransclude>
</pre>

Here's an example of the {{p|Xerneas}} page. Despite being obtainable in the [[Generation VIII]] games {{g|Sword and Shield}}, Xerneas is unobtainable in the [[Generation IX]] games {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}. If the proposal gets approved, then this is what the structure of the learnset section for the Xerneas page will look like:

<pre>
===Learnset===
<tabbertransclude>
Xerneas (Pokémon)/Generation VIII learnset|Generation VIII
Xerneas (Pokémon)/Generation VII learnset|Generation VII
Xerneas (Pokémon)/Generation VI learnset|Generation VI
</tabbertransclude>
</pre>

Last but not least, an example of the {{p|Furfrou}} page. Furfrou is unobtainable in the [[Generation VIII]] games [[Pokémon Sword and Shield|Pokémon Sword, Shield]], [[Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl|Brilliant Diamond, and Shining Pearl]] and {{g|Legends: Arceus}} and the [[Generation IX]] games {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}. If the proposal gets approved, then this is what the structure of the learnset section for the Furfrou page will look like:

<pre>
===Learnset===
<tabbertransclude>
Furfrou (Pokémon)/Generation VII learnset|Generation VII
Furfrou (Pokémon)/Generation VI learnset|Generation VI
</tabbertransclude>
</pre>

It is important to know that the TabberNeue extension will be useful for learnset sections. That way, if the proposal gets approved, then we will not only create the Generation IX learnset subpages for Pokémon available in Scarlet and Violet, but also use the <code><nowiki><noinclude></nowiki></code> tags around the {{template|pokelinkback}} template. Would that be a great idea? [[User:SaturnMario|SaturnMario]], [[User talk:SaturnMario|his talk]] and [[Special:Contributions/SaturnMario|his contributions]] 01:43, 13 February 2025 (UTC)

:I already have a demo of this, over at [[User:SuperPikaPool13/Sandbox/Bulbasaur#Learnset|Sandbox/Bulbasaur → Learnset]].
:It uses [[User:SuperPikaPool13/Template:LearnsetTabber|<code><nowiki>{{LearnsetTabber}}</nowiki></code>]] as a template, instead of having to add the <code><nowiki><tabbertransclude></nowiki></code> tag to manually pages. Having a template would also be easy to update for future generations. Note: The Template will currently only work for Gen 1 Pokemon, only because I haven't added the conditional yet (which should just be a simple <code>#switch</code>). I also had't considered Pokemon that were unobtainable in a middle generation, such as your other 3 examples above, so thank you for pointing that out.
:I also suggest to wrap the actual learnset tables on learnset subpages in <code><nowiki><onlyinclude></nowiki></code>s, to exclude any header info like {{template|pokelinkback}}s, and any footer info like Categories or Interwiki links. (Examples: [[special:diff/4176005|1]], [[special:diff/4176007|2]], [[special:diff/4176008|3]], [[special:diff/4176009|4]], [[special:diff/4176010|5]], [[special:diff/4176011|6]], [[special:diff/4176013|7]], [[special:diff/4176014|8]]) As you said, we will need separate pages for the latest generation learnsets, which [[:Category:Pokémon learnsets (Generation IX)|we currently don't have]] and will need to create. → [[User:SuperPikaPool13|Super]][[User talk:SuperPikaPool13|Pika]][[Special:Contribs/SuperPikaPool13|Pool13]] 22:22, 16 February 2025 (UTC)
::However, there are a number of concerns with tabber-transcluding the learnsets this way:
::# With 9 (right now) different pages with learnset tables to be included on the main species pages, there are concerns that this might break the [[:Category:Pages where template include size is exceeded|max page size]].
::# The subheadings that are defined inside the <code><nowiki><tabbertransclude></nowiki></code> tag don't show up in the TOC. This includes the subheadings such as "[[User:SuperPikaPool13/Sandbox/Bulbasaur#By leveling up|By leveling up]]", "[[User:SuperPikaPool13/Sandbox/Bulbasaur#By TM|By TM]]", etc. This would cause issues when linking directly to the section.
::# The demo did not consistently function correctly on the mobile skin at the time it was tested.
::# Additionally, 9 tab headers would need horizontal scrolling on thinner screens, which is also something that is preferred to be prevented.
::# The Tabber functionality (regular tabs as well as transcludes) needs JavaScript (JS) to be enabled for it to work. We would need to also consider a workaround in the case some readers have disabled JavaScript.
::I would like to your hear thoughts on this, as well as concerns and possible solutions from the wider community. In the meantime, feel free to use the Sandbox Demo linked above (or your own) to test out this feature or suggest improvements to it. → [[User:SuperPikaPool13|Super]][[User talk:SuperPikaPool13|Pika]][[Special:Contribs/SuperPikaPool13|Pool13]] 22:23, 16 February 2025 (UTC)

== Pokemon Ranger Sprites and Wild Pokemon Attacks ==

I'd like to add the sprite images for Pokemon from the Ranger games, as well as maybe including the attacks wild/ controlled Pokemon can use during captures. I know similar information for other games are included.
Could the templates be updated so this information can be added? [[User:Drjwho|Drjwho]] ([[User talk:Drjwho|talk]]) 17:52, 20 July 2025 (UTC)

== Inconsistency in the Pokemon Infobox image(s) for species with forms and gender differences ==

I first mentioned this to [[User:Coffee|Coffee]] after noticing their name in some relevant page edit histories. After some discussion, they suggested I move the topic here. Our prior discussion can be found [[User talk:Coffee#Inconsistent formatting of the species infobox image for Pokemon with gender differences|here]].

In short, the images shown in the Pokemon Infobox are inconsistent across species and are misleading for some with multiple forms or gender differences.
I used Wooper, Milotic, Hippopotas, Hippowdon, and Combee as specific examples with Coffee, but there are many others.
Then there are Frillish, Unfezant, Meowstic, etc., which are inconsistent with the previous species by having their gender differences properly represented.

What is the rationale for this? [[User:Acetone15|Acetone15]] ([[User talk:Acetone15|talk]]) 17:23, 21 April 2026 (UTC)

:A lot of this may fall under a potential {{Template|Pokémon Infobox}} update or an overall organizational and formatting overhaul for species pages. Perhaps in the future we will have a default image, but some sort of toggle to show gender differences or other forms, or we may decide to show gender differences in the Biology section. I think you bring about an important discrepancy, but it would likely be best addressed down the line (hopefully soon) alongside some of the other issues that have been brought up recently with the infobox.
:For now though, I think it will provide the most stylistic consistency to use the official key artwork intended to represent the species. My concern otherwise is that we have cases like {{p|Torchic}} whose only different is a speck on its back sprite; I think most would agree that it would not be an excellent solution to prominently feature two back sprites of Torchic in the infobox at the top of the page to showcase this difference. [[User:Landfish7|'''Land''']][[User talk:Landfish7|'''fish7''']] 17:36, 21 April 2026 (UTC)
::Ah, yeah, Torchic is a good counterexample.
::And to be clear, I agree that consistent art style is a valid rationale. Regardless, my suggestion is just to have a clear indicator of the existence of forms and gender differences near the infobox image(s), whether that is in the infobox, the introductory text, or an overall organizational and formatting overhaul.
::Are the other issues with the infobox you mentioned documented somewhere and, if so, is that where this discussion should be? [[User:Acetone15|Acetone15]] ([[User talk:Acetone15|talk]]) 23:41, 22 April 2026 (UTC)

List of Pokémon by shape

2026-04-19T05:37:24Z

Acetone15: Added "Standard Mode" to Galarian Darmanitan's entry

This is a '''[[list of Pokémon]] by their shape''' (Japanese: '''{{ruby|形|かたち}}''' ''shape'') according to the [[Pokédex]]. This listing is available as a search method in the Pokédex from {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}} to {{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}}, as well as in [[Pokémon Bank]] and [[Pokémon HOME]]. The concept has also been referred to in-game as '''body style''' in [[Generation IV]], '''form''' in Generation IV and {{gen|V}}, and '''body shape''' in Pokémon HOME.

==List of shapes==
The games divide Pokémon into the following 14 categories based on their shape. Although the games only use symbols to define each group, they have unused Japanese names in the internal data of [[Pokédex 3D]] and [[Pokédex 3D Pro]]; the English titles below are simply fan-created descriptions. For each category, its [[index number]]s and the sprites used to represent it in each game are displayed in the table below.

The groups have been officially ordered in three distinct ways: one used in the internal data of the Generation IV games, one used in the Pokédex in Generation IV and V (laid out in three columns of five{{sup/4|DPPt}}, three rows of five{{sup/4|HGSS}}, or a single column{{sup/5|BWB2W2}}), and the current ordering used in both the internal data since Generation V and the Pokédex since [[Generation VI]].

==Form differences==
Starting from Generation V, the player can change which form is displayed in the main Pokédex entry for Pokémon with multiple [[form]]s. The following Pokémon have forms which differ drastically enough to be listed under different shapes.

==List of Pokémon by shape==
===[[File:Body01.png|32px|class=noviewer]] Pokémon consisting of only a head===
This is the simplest body shape a Pokémon can take. This body shape is the basis from which all other body shapes stem from. Pokémon within this group tend to have enormous faces in proportion to the rest of their bodies. If the Pokémon has what appears to be a torso (such as the {{p|Misdreavus}} line or {{p|Meltan}}) or pronounced limbs (such as {{p|Cosmog}} or the various tea Pokémon) they are typically non-corporeal and/or amorphous in nature. Pokémon in this group are generally based on either non-living objects, plants, or invertebrates encased within a shell or cocoon. {{p|Tadbulb}} appears to be the only one based on a vertebrate, although it heavily resembles a light bulb. The majority of these Pokémon locomote via floating, however some roll, bounce, or slide along the ground.

===[[File:Body07.png|32px|class=noviewer]] Pokémon consisting of a head and legs===
This body shape appears to add legs and/or feet to a base body ([[File:Body01.png|16px|link=#Pokémon consisting of only a head|Pokémon consisting of only a head]], [[File:Body05.png|16px|link=#Pokémon consisting of a head and a base|Pokémon consisting of a head and a base]], or [[File:Body02.png|16px|link=#Pokémon with serpentine bodies|Pokémon with serpentine bodies]]). Legs are one of the first forms a limb could take; they are used to propel the body primarily, but can be used to attack secondarily. Pokémon within this group tend to be very mobile compared to [[File:Body05.png|16px|link=#Pokémon consisting of a head and a base|Pokémon consisting of a head and a base]], or can at least move without awkward bounciness or jerkiness when walking or running.

===[[File:Body03.png|32px|class=noviewer]] Pokémon with fins===
This body shape appears to add fins to a base body ([[File:Body01.png|16px|link=#Pokémon consisting of only a head|Pokémon consisting of only a head]], [[File:Body05.png|16px|link=#Pokémon consisting of a head and a base|Pokémon consisting of a head and a base]], or [[File:Body02.png|16px|link=#Pokémon with serpentine bodies|Pokémon with serpentine bodies]]). Fins are limbs that are used to propel the body in liquids. There is no distinction between fins—pectoral fins, pelvic fins, dorsal fins, etc.—meaning this classification can be seen as a bodily distortion of [[File:Body04.png|16px|link=#Pokémon consisting of a head and arms|Pokémon consisting of a head and arms]], [[File:Body07.png|16px|link=#Pokémon consisting of a head and legs|Pokémon consisting of a head and legs]], or [[File:Body09.png|16px|link=#Pokémon with a single pair of wings|Pokémon with a single pair of wings]]. Pokémon within this group tend to be based on piscine, cetacean, or pinniped creatures.

This body shape appears to add legs and/or feet to [[File:Body08.png|16px|link=#Pokémon with a quadruped body|Pokémon with a quadruped body]], in addition to other details. Pokémon within this group tend to have 6-8 legs, segmented bodies, or both. The majority of Pokémon in this group are seemingly based on arthropods. Pokémon not based on arthropods appear to qualify for this group if there is no clear divide between their head and the rest of their body, such as {{p|Lotad}} and {{p|Corsola}}. With the exceptions of {{p|Vikavolt}} and {{p|Cutiefly}}, insectoid Pokémon appear to not fall under this classification if they have functional wings.

===[[File:Body13.png|32px|class=noviewer]] Pokémon with two or more pairs of wings===
This body shape appears to add wings to [[File:Body09.png|16px|link=#Pokémon with a single pair of wings|Pokémon with a single pair of wings]]. These extra limbs are usually used to accelerate flight and add more sharp, dynamic, and precise movement to the XYZ axis. These wings are often used to perform elaborate airborne dances for communication, to more proficiently hunt, or to avoid others. Pokémon can fall under this group even if their wings are no longer functional for flight upon evolving, as seen with {{p|Scizor}} and {{p|Kleavor}}. Insectoid Pokémon with wings appear to be grouped into this category regardless of wing count, as {{p|Ribombee}} and {{p|Frosmoth}} fall under this classification despite having only a single pair of wings. {{p|Crobat}} and Ultra {{p|Necrozma}} appear to be the only Pokémon in this category not based on insects.

===[[File:Body11.png|32px|class=noviewer]] Pokémon consisting of multiple bodies===
This body shape appears to consist of any body shape previously mentioned, but multiplied in quantity. As such, this body shape will only ever be as simple or as complex as the design of the base body. A Pokémon's body consisting of any body type multiplied can qualify, such as a group of six [[File:Body01.png|16px|link=#Pokémon consisting of only a head|Pokémon consisting of only a head]] or a group of three [[File:Body06.png|16px|link=#Pokémon with a bipedal, tailed form|Pokémon with a bipedal, tailed form]]. The bodies in this group can either be physically fused to one another or be detached life-forms that operate in tandem with one another. Pokémon appear to not qualify for this group if the different bodies they're comprised of work together to form a more defined body shape which they fall under instead, such as {{p|Metang}}, {{p|Stakataka}}, or {{p|Sandy Shocks}}.

===[[File:Body10.png|32px|class=noviewer]] Pokémon with tentacles or a multiped body===
This body shape appears to consist of either Pokémon with tentacles instead of traditional legs or any Pokémon with more than two legs whose pairs of legs are not separated by body segments, which would otherwise qualify them for [[File:Body08.png|16px|link=#Pokémon with an insectoid body|Pokémon with an insectoid body]]. {{p|Wimpod}} and the {{p|Sizzlipede}} line are possibly exceptions due to their more elongated body plan. Pokémon with exactly four typical legs appear to fall under this group if they also have an upright torso with fully functional arms, such as {{p|Buzzwole}} or Mega {{p|Golisopod}}.

===[[File:Body05.png|32px|class=noviewer]] Pokémon consisting of a head and a base===
This body shape appears to be a direct distortion of [[File:Body01.png|16px|link=#Pokémon consisting of only a head|Pokémon consisting of only a head]]; the head has become more oblong to give off the appearance of a torso. Pokémon within this group tend to have very poorly-optimized limbs, if they have any at all, which can limit their ability to walk or grasp. This category excludes Pokémon with bodies extended from their heads, such as {{p|Mismagius}}, for example, which seem to merely have pronounced "body appendages"—like hair/fur, nails/claws/hooves, feathers, scales, and antlers/horns—or vestigial limbs, meaning other parts are allowed on the body, but only if they have a minimal use, if any use at all. Some Pokémon whose body shape would seemingly qualify for another group fall in this category if the majority of their body is obscured by an object they reside in, such as {{p|Burmy}} or Chest Form {{p|Gimmighoul}}.

===[[File:Body06.png|32px|class=noviewer]] Pokémon with a bipedal, tailed form===
Alternatively labeled as Pokémon consisting of a head, a base, arms, legs, and a tail, this body shape appears to be a combination of previously stated body shapes ([[File:Body02.png|16px|link=#Pokémon with serpentine bodies|Pokémon with serpentine bodies]], [[File:Body04.png|16px|link=#Pokémon consisting of a head and arms|Pokémon consisting of a head and arms]] and [[File:Body07.png|16px|link=#Pokémon consisting of a head and legs|Pokémon consisting of a head and legs]]). Because of the collection of unique body parts, this body shape, even at its most basic variation, allows a Pokémon to access the widest range of physically-oriented moves by using the full capabilities of their body. This is the most common body shape for [[first partner Pokémon]], with nearly half of them and over half of their Evolved forms being classified in this group.

===[[File:Body12.png|32px|class=noviewer]] Pokémon with a bipedal, tailless form===
Alternatively labeled as Pokémon consisting of a head, arms, and legs or Pokémon consisting of a head, a base, arms, and legs, this body shape appears to be a combination of previously listed body shapes (([[File:Body01.png|16px|link=#Pokémon consisting of only a head|Pokémon consisting of only a head]] or [[File:Body05.png|16px|link=#Pokémon consisting of a head and a base|Pokémon consisting of a head and a base]]), [[File:Body04.png|16px|link=#Pokémon consisting of a head and arms|Pokémon consisting of a head and arms]] and [[File:Body07.png|16px|link=#Pokémon consisting of a head and legs|Pokémon consisting of a head and legs]]). Alternatively, this can be seen as a bodily distortion of [[File:Body08.png|16px|link=#Pokémon with a quadruped body|Pokémon with a quadruped body]], given how some organisms evolved from quadrupeds to four-limbed bipeds. Curiously, this body shape does not have a limit as to how many arms can be on a single body. This body shape is one of the most common forms for Pokémon.

===[[File:Body09.png|32px|class=noviewer]] Pokémon with a single pair of wings===
This body shape appears to add wings to a base body ([[File:Body01.png|16px|link=#Pokémon consisting of only a head|Pokémon consisting of only a head]], [[File:Body05.png|16px|link=#Pokémon consisting of a head and a base|Pokémon consisting of a head and a base]], or [[File:Body02.png|16px|link=#Pokémon with serpentine bodies|Pokémon with serpentine bodies]]). Wings are limbs that are used to propel the body off of the ground, also known as the XY axis, and allow movement in 3D spaces along the XYZ axis. If the limbs branch off from the pectoral area rather than the back, they can alternatively be seen as a distortion of [[File:Body04.png|16px|link=#Pokémon consisting of a head and arms|Pokémon consisting of a head and arms]]. Pokémon within this group tend to have feathered or membranous wings, but this group also include Pokémon based on coleopterans—also known as the beetle family. Note that although coleopterans have four wings like other insects, but two of those wings are used to form an exoskeleton, while the other two are used for actual flight.

===[[File:Body02.png|32px|class=noviewer]] Pokémon with serpentine bodies===
Alternatively labeled as Pokémon consisting of a head, a base, and a tail, this body shape appears to be a direct bodily distortion of [[File:Body05.png|16px|link=#Pokémon consisting of a head and a base|Pokémon consisting of a head and a base]]. The head has become even more oblong to give off the appearance of a slithering body. Pokémon within this group tend to be based on snakes, gastropods, and certain elongated arthropods.

===[[File:Body04.png|32px|class=noviewer]] Pokémon consisting of a head and arms===
This body shape appears to add arms to a base body ([[File:Body01.png|16px|link=#Pokémon consisting of only a head|Pokémon consisting of only a head]], [[File:Body05.png|16px|link=#Pokémon consisting of a head and a base|Pokémon consisting of a head and a base]], or [[File:Body02.png|16px|link=#Pokémon with serpentine bodies|Pokémon with serpentine bodies]]). Arms are prehensile limbs that are can be used to grab, attack, or propel the body. Pokémon within this group tend to have no legs or vestigial legs; as such, many of them travel by bouncing or floating. Curiously, almost none of the Pokémon in this group use their arms as movement. Many Pokémon in this group appear to be based on supernatural entities. Notably, all of [[forces of nature]] in their Incarnate Formes and all of [[Alola]]'s [[guardian deities]] have this body shape.

== New category ==

Good job creating a category for episodes focusing on the Explorers. I have been thinking of creating such a category myself too, last time just today, a few hours ago, and I was considering finally realizing it today. What a coincidence! --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] ([[User talk:FinnishPokéFan92|talk]]) 19:12, 30 August 2024 (UTC)

== Animation subheaders ==

Should an animation section have subheaders for 1) "Pokémon animated series" even if there's no other animation covered under the same main header, and 2) the separate series within the animated series? If yes with the latter, should they exist if only one series is covered in the section? --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] ([[User talk:FinnishPokéFan92|talk]]) 16:19, 13 October 2024 (UTC)
:While I haven't given it much thought myself, I would lean towards yes to all questions; it doesn't hurt to be thorough. - [[User:Chosen|Chosen]] ([[User talk:Chosen|Talk]]) 16:23, 13 October 2024 (UTC)
::I was expecting that kind of an answer. Now I feel uncomfortable about having done backwards progress on that with my flurry of edits earlier today. Should the animation sections on the move and Ability pages also receive these "Pokémon animated series" subheaders? --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] ([[User talk:FinnishPokéFan92|talk]]) 16:26, 13 October 2024 (UTC)
:::I suppose so. We do that when Pokémon Adventures is the only manga that showcases a move or Ability. - [[User:Chosen|Chosen]] ([[User talk:Chosen|Talk]]) 16:34, 13 October 2024 (UTC)
::::Yeah. We should probably establish a similar layout with all articles' animation sections, which is what your first response also aligns with. But there's so many move articles that I can't do it on my own. --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] ([[User talk:FinnishPokéFan92|talk]]) 17:41, 13 October 2024 (UTC)

== Ash's Charizard image ==
Hello. I wanted to nominate a new image for Ash's Charizard's infobox to replace the current one. But since the image can only be edited/changed by Admins (I assume), I reached out to see if this image is a good replacement. It shows Charizard's full body in a natural background. The episode in question is BW136.

== New Santalune City Image ==
The Santalune City Page says the image has too many markings. I photoshopped most of the markings out, and would like to propose a new picture. I had the same problem as the person submitting the Charizard one, and was just checking to see if this is fine.

== Inconsistent formatting of the species infobox image for Pokemon with gender differences ==

After noticing that [[List of Pokémon with gender differences|Pokemon with gender differences]] do not have a consistent formatting of the species infobox image, I looked into the edit history of some of the relevant pages for someone to ask about it and saw your username a few times.

The species pages of all Pokemon with gender differences since generation 5 use one image that shows both the male and the female (e.g. [[Indeedee]]).

The species pages of [[Hippopotas]] and [[Hippowdon]] use two images, one for the male and one for the female (seemingly labeling the male and the female as separate forms).

The species pages of all the other Pokemon with gender differences (those from before generation 5, other than Hippopotas and Hippowdon) use one image that shows either the male or the female, chosen seemingly at random (e.g. [[Wooper]] uses the male, [[Milotic]] uses the female).

It seems that you would probably agree these species should all abide by a consistent formatting. I lean towards the formatting of Hippopotas and Hippowdon, showing a separate image of each gender, as some species have more differences than just appearance and thus are essentially distinct forms, but what do you think? [[User:Acetone15|Acetone15]] ([[User talk:Acetone15|talk]]) 02:24, 10 April 2026 (UTC)
:Internally, Hippopotas and Hippowdon's female forms are not considered alternate forms, unlike gender differences in later generations. They also lack offical artwork, unlike {{p|Unfezant}} and the like. In my opinion, it should only show the male forms of each, like {{p|Bidoof}}. - [[User:Coffee|Coffee]] ([[User talk:Coffee|Talk]]) 02:34, 10 April 2026 (UTC)
::Having them all show the same gender seems reasonable, but I think you have Bidoof's genders confused. [[User:Acetone15|Acetone15]] ([[User talk:Acetone15|talk]]) 02:58, 10 April 2026 (UTC)
::Is the inconsistency between using the male or the female for the gen 1-4 species due to there being no "official artwork" for both genders of some species? [[User:Acetone15|Acetone15]] ([[User talk:Acetone15|talk]]) 22:37, 10 April 2026 (UTC)
:::Yes. As explained before, all gender differences introduced from Generation V onwards are considered separate forms internally by the game's code, and have artwork to match. - [[User:Coffee|Coffee]] ([[User talk:Coffee|Talk]]) 00:17, 11 April 2026 (UTC)
::::In your first reply, when saying "it should only show the male forms of each", were you specifically talking about species from gens 1-4?
::::If no, then presumably you meant species from all gens and, for those since gen 5, you would want to show an edited version of the official artwork that excludes the female?
::::If yes, since some species apparently lack official artwork for the male, then what you said was just wishful thinking for consistency's sake? I would agree, to an extent. I understand wanting all these images to share a source across all species, but that means giving the impression that some species don't have a gender difference when they do, which seems like a bigger problem. Well, it bothers me more, at least, although I would agree that the difference between the Hippopotas and Hippowdon images was fairly jarring. [[User:Acetone15|Acetone15]] ([[User talk:Acetone15|talk]]) 13:44, 11 April 2026 (UTC)
:::::I'm sorry if I wasn't clear. When I said "the male forms of each", I meant of Hippopotas and Hippowdon. The fact that I cited Bidoof, whose artwork depicts the female, is my fault. For the gender differences of Pokémon Generations V onward, we already display an image that has both forms on display, as they both have official art, which gender differences before that do not have. - [[User:Coffee|Coffee]] ([[User talk:Coffee|Talk]]) 03:16, 12 April 2026 (UTC)
::::::Okay, thanks for clarifying.
::::::A few more things I would like to have clarified are what exactly is "official artwork", why it was selected as the only source for infobox images, and what you (and/or others who made the decision) think of what I said previously about the choice of using only official artwork for infobox images giving the impression that some species don't have a gender difference when they do.
::::::Regarding the last thing, yes, the information about gender differences is elsewhere on the page, but the infobox image is big and right at the top of the page, being the first thing most people see.
::::::Thanks again for responding to my questions! [[User:Acetone15|Acetone15]] ([[User talk:Acetone15|talk]]) 23:19, 12 April 2026 (UTC)
::::::Is there somewhere else I should direct my previous questions? [[User:Acetone15|Acetone15]] ([[User talk:Acetone15|talk]]) 01:23, 17 April 2026 (UTC)
:::::::Official artwork is the stock artwork usually used by the francise in reference to a Pokémon, such as on the [https://zukan.pokemon.co.jp/ Japanese Pokémon Zukan website]. They're often attributed to Ken Sugimori alone, but it's a bit of a misnomer, as there are other known artists, see [[:File:PopplioLostThunder65.jpg|this Popplio]]. - [[User:Coffee|Coffee]] ([[User talk:Coffee|Talk]]) 02:21, 17 April 2026 (UTC)
::::::::Looking through that website, which seems to be an official Japanese language Pokedex, it seems like Bulbapedia is simply emulating its ignorance of gender differences prior to gen 5. Like I said before, I understand the desire to have all infobox images come from the same source (and thus have a consistent style), but my criticism of that being misleading about gender differences remains unaddressed. On mobile, you have to scroll down quite a long way and then read a paragraph to find any indication that most Combee don't look like the one pictured. [[User:Acetone15|Acetone15]] ([[User talk:Acetone15|talk]]) 16:40, 17 April 2026 (UTC)
{{Indent}}Honestly, I think this discussion might be more appropriate on the [[Bulbapedia talk:Project Pokédex|talk page for Project Pokédex]], where a more open discussion can be had. I don't think we'll be able to change the infobox as it is right now, but there might be a compromise that can be reached. - [[User:Coffee|Coffee]] ([[User talk:Coffee|Talk]]) 18:46, 17 April 2026 (UTC)

:Ah, yeah, that does seem like the right place. I'd wondered if such a page existed, but hadn't tried finding it. I'll write something there soon. Thanks! [[User:Acetone15|Acetone15]] ([[User talk:Acetone15|talk]]) 00:10, 19 April 2026 (UTC)

Genesect (Pokémon)

2026-04-11T13:52:33Z

Acetone15: Reverting the name of Genesect's default form (when not holding a Drive) from "Normal", which is only used in GO, to "Genesect", which is used in all other games, most recently Legends: ZA. The GO "Normal" name is still mentioned elsewhere (both in the intro paragraph and the Form data section).

'''Genesect''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ゲノセクト''' ''Genesect'') is a dual-type {{2t|Bug|Steel}} [[Mythical Pokémon]] introduced in [[Generation V]].

While it is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon, Genesect has four other [[#Form data|forms]], which are activated by inserting a [[Drive]] in the cannon on its back. The Drive's light is visibly different depending on which one Genesect is [[Held item|holding]], and it also changes the [[type]] of its [[signature move]], {{m|Techno Blast}}.
* When it is not holding any Drive (referred to in {{g|GO}} as its Normal form), the light is orange and Techno Blast is {{type|Normal}}.
* When it is holding the [[Douse Drive]], the light turns blue and Techno Blast is {{type|Water}}.
* When it is holding the [[Shock Drive]], the light turns yellow and Techno Blast is {{type|Electric}}.
* When it is holding the [[Burn Drive]], the light turns red and Techno Blast is {{type|Fire}}.
* When it is holding the [[Chill Drive]], the light turns white and Techno Blast is {{type|Ice}}.

Genesect was {{n|CoroCoro August issue reveals 'Genesect'|leaked}} in the August issue of [[CoroCoro]] magazine on July 11, 2012, and it was officially revealed on July 14, 2012. It is the last Pokémon in both versions of the [[List of Pokémon by Unova Pokédex number|Unova Pokédex]].

==Biology==
[[File:Genesect Douse Drive High-speed.png|thumb|left|170px|{{form|Genesect|Douse Drive}} Genesect in its high-speed flight configuration]]
Genesect is a bipedal, insectoid {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with a metal body and a saucer-shaped head. It is primarily purple with several gray markings. It has two large red eyes that are capable of glowing, and a small white part that could be either its mouth or a vent. It has thin arms with overlapping segments. Each arm ends with a single, pointed claw from which it can spin a sticky string to create structures. The claws are made of sharp steel. There is a gray circle on each shoulder and a gray band around its abdomen. Its segmented legs each end with a large, upward-curving claw.
[[File:Genesect silk.png|thumb|250px|Genesect producing a silk-like substance from its claw]]
Genesect is an [[artificial Pokémon]] that was revived from a [[Fossil]] and technologically enhanced by [[Team Plasma]] to create the most powerful Pokémon ever. [[N]] had the project canceled and the [[P2 Laboratory]] closed because he felt that Pokémon, who he thought to be perfect beings, would lose their beauty if modified by science. However, {{tc|Scientist}} Dudley kept working on it, angry that N denied his talent. This scientist reconstructed Genesect and installed the cannon on its back. According to a {{tc|Hiker}} in [[Ambrette Town]]'s Fossil Lab, there is a rumor that Genesect can be found in [[Glittering Cave]].

By folding up its limbs and connecting its head to the cannon on its back, Genesect assumes a disk-like form known as the '''high-speed flight configuration''' (Japanese: '''{{ruby|高|こう}}{{ruby|速|そく}}{{ruby|飛|ひ}}{{ruby|行|こう}}{{ruby|形|けい}}{{ruby|態|たい}}''' ''Kōsoku Hikō Keitai'', "high-speed flight configuration"),<ref>[[Top Secret Internal Team Plasma Genesect Video]]</ref> allowing it to fly at remarkable speeds. As seen in ''[[M16|Genesect and the Legend Awakened]]'', Genesect can breathe in outer space. In the movie, it can also produce a sticky silk-like substance that rapidly hardens into brownish stone-like substance. It uses that material to create its nest. The movie also shows that one Genesect may lead the others of its group, being even capable of controlling them to follow its orders. Genesect is known to be completely devoid of mercy towards its enemies. As depicted in [[Pokémon Adventures]], Genesect is capable of cutting down an entire building in half effortlessly.

Genesect is the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Techno Blast}}.

===Forms===
Genesect has four alternate forms determined by the [[Drive]] it holds: Shock Drive, Burn Drive, Chill Drive, and Douse Drive.

The four Drives each contain different elements: water energy, electric energy, fire energy, and ice energy. When either of the Drives is attached to Gensect's cannon, it grants it different elemental powers for its {{M|Techno Blast|light beam}} attacks launched by its cannon. The powerful cannon on its back and other enhancements were added as part of the modifications made to it by [[Team Plasma]]. Gensect's cannon can fire off projectile energy blasts. Even before Team Plasma modified Genesect, it was feared as the strongest of hunters. Genesect was said to have lived in the Paleozoic era before going extinct.

===Form data===
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}}.

*If no Drive is held, Techno Blast will be {{type|Normal}} and Genesect will appear to have a dark yellow Drive.
*If a [[Douse Drive]] is held, Techno Blast will be {{type|Water}} and Genesect will appear to have a blue Drive.
*If a [[Shock Drive]] is held, Techno Blast will be {{type|Electric}} and Genesect will appear to have a light yellow Drive.
*If a [[Burn Drive]] is held, Techno Blast will be {{type|Fire}} and Genesect will appear to have a red Drive.
*If a [[Chill Drive]] is held, Techno Blast will be {{type|Ice}} and Genesect will appear to have a cyan Drive.

Prior to {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, Genesect's alternate forms were not registered in the [[Pokédex]]. All of Genesect's forms originally used the form name "Genesect" in the Pokédex; in [[Pokémon Legends: Z-A]], this was changed, with its default form lacking a form name while its other forms are named "Douse Drive", "Shock Drive", "Burn Drive", and "Chill Drive". These are also the names used for its alternate forms in [[Pokémon GO]], but its default form also has a name in that game, being called "Normal". The Pokémon GO Pokédex lists the drive forms in the order Shock Drive, Burn Drive, Chill Drive, and Douse Drive, unlike the core series games where Douse Drive is listed before the others.

In {{g|Super Mystery Dungeon}}, Genesect can select a Drive upon being selected as a team member.

===Major appearances===
====[[Genesect Army]]====
The Genesect Army, a group of five Genesect led by a {{Shiny|Red}} Genesect, first appeared in ''[[BW119|Meowth, Colress and Team Rivalry!]]'', where {{an|N}} found the ruins of a building and learned the Genesect Army was responsible for the destruction by using his ability to hear the voices of Pokémon.

The Genesect Army played a major role in ''[[M16|Genesect and the Legend Awakened]]''. They went on a rampage in [[New Tork City]] while attempting to search for [[Genesect's home|their ancient habitat]], thus bringing them into conflict with a {{OBP|Mewtwo|M16}}.

===Movie adaptations===
{{main|Genesect Army}}
The Genesect Army plays a major role in ''[[M16|Genesect and the Legend Awakened]]''. Likewise, the group appears in the {{ma|Genesect and the Legend Awakened|manga adaptation}} of the film by [[Momota Inoue]].

===Pocket Monsters B2 W2 ~ A New Legend ~===
Genesect was a Pokémon created by [[Dr. Zeno]]. After it saved Dr. Zeno from being trapped in his lab, he decided to give it to [[Arata]] in order to bring out its full potential.

===Pokémon Adventures===
{{main|Blake's Genesect}}
A {{Shiny}} Genesect debuted as a silhouette at [[P2 Laboratory]] in ''[[PS515|The Shadow Triad]]'', where the [[Shadow Triad]] was seen testing its power. It reappeared at the {{un|Pokémon League}}, where it helped [[Colress|Hood Man]] escape. Later, in the {{MangaArc|Black 2 & White 2}}, it was revealed to be under the ownership of [[Colress]].

In ''[[PS526|Mr. Perfect]]'', Colress attacked [[Aspertia City]] with another Genesect, where it came into contact with {{adv|Blake}} and {{adv|Looker}}, the former of whom ultimately captured Genesect. Although Blake had initially reported Genesect to the [[International Police]], he was seen in possession of it in ''[[PS536|Cold Storage Battle]]'', riding it through the [[Relic Passage]]. In ''[[PS541|Pink Slip]]'', it was revealed that Blake had taken Genesect for his own use without permission, despite it having been under strict supervision, which was one of the reasons why he had been subsequently fired from the International Police.

==Other appearances==
===[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U]]===
[[File:Genesect_3DS_trophy_SSB4.png|thumb|150px|Genesect trophy in ''Super Smash Bros. for 3DS'']]
Genesect appears as a {{i|Poké Ball}} summon. In the 3DS version of the game, it is unlocked after playing Endless Smash at least once. It jumps around the stage, repeatedly firing four {{m|Techno Blast}} attacks, followed up by a wide beam. Both shots can go through walls.

Genesect also appears as a trophy in both versions of the game.

====Trophy information====
'''NA''': ''A Bug/Steel-type Pokémon, Genesect was created from a 300-million-year-old fossil and later altered to carry a giant cannon on its back. The type of Drive inserted into the cannon affects the attack type of its Techno Blast. It will follow up this attack with a long-range laser.''

'''PAL''': ''A Bug- and Steel-type Pokémon revived from a 300-million-year-old fossil, then modified to carry a giant cannon on its back. The type of Drive inserted into the cannon affects the attack type of its Techno Blast. After using this attack mid-jump, it attacks its target with a long-range laser that passes through obstacles.''

===[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]===
Genesect returns as a Pokémon summoned from the Poké Ball, retaining its behavior from the previous game. Genesect also appears as a {{sbw|Spirit}}.
{{left clear}}

==Trivia==
* Genesect is the only {{type|Bug}} [[Mythical Pokémon]], excluding {{p|Arceus}} when holding an [[Insect Plate]].
* Excluding [[Mega Evolution|Mega-Evolved]] Pokémon, Genesect has the highest base stat total of all {{type|Bug}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}.
* Genesect's backstory is similar to {{p|Mewtwo}}'s: both were created by a [[villainous team]] in at least one [[canon]], and they were genetically engineered to be more powerful than the Pokémon they were based on.
* Genesect is the only Pokémon whose [[Pokédex entry]] names a villainous team, in this case, [[Team Plasma]].
* Despite {{m|Techno Blast}} being its [[signature move]], Genesect cannot receive {{STAB}} from it unless its type is changed.
* The symbol for the {{TCG|Plasma Blast}} expansion ([[File:SetSymbolPlasma Blast.png|30px]]) resembles Genesect's head seen from above.
* There is some inconsistency in Genesect's Pokédex entries regarding whether or not Team Plasma ''upgraded'' the cannon on its back to be at least able to house the Drives, or if they ''attached'' the cannon, the latter of which implies Genesect's original appearance did not have said cannon.

===Origin===
Genesect is generally based on the giant insects of the {{wp|Paleozoic}} era, which existed for 300,000,000 years, making it as old as the {{wp|cockroach}}. Its Steel-type features that give it a somewhat robotic appearance may be a reference to alien robots or cyborgs in {{wp|science fiction}} media, but this may be due to Team Plasma's modifications. Its design might also be inspired by the "artillery mech" vehicles in various {{wp|mecha anime and manga}} while also resembling the enlarged pronona of {{wp|treehopper}}s (family Membracidae). They also share a similar head shape with many treehoppers.

====Name origin====
Genesect may be a combination of ''{{wp|gene}}'', ''{{wp|genetics}}'', ''{{wp|genome}}'', or ''{{wp|genesis}}''; and ''{{wp|insect}}''.

== Hisui sentence ==

That sentence regarding a Pokémon's region specific evolution is normally separated from the main sentence, as seen in every other case of region specific evolutions, regardless of Usrluna etc. not being a regional form.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 05:39, 4 February 2022 (UTC)

== Rainbow Swirl Alcremie ==

Any reason why "in real-time in {{gameabbrev8|SwSh}}" was removed from Rainbow Swirl Alcremie's evolution conditions in its section on the List of Pokémon with form differences page? In previous discussion in regards to similar evolutions, such as with Own Temp Rockruff into Dusk Form Lycanroc, users have agreed that we should be specific, as what "evening" means differs dramatically from game to game and may not be obvious to readers. Being specific will also help future proof it somewhat for if and when this form returns in a future game and "evening" ends up being defined differently. [[User:Landfish7|'''Land''']][[User talk:Landfish7|'''fish7''']] 21:36, 21 February 2023 (UTC)
:The section does define evening as 7:00 to 7:59 pm though, and since all of the times in that section are based on Sword and Shield's time system I figured it wouldn't make sense to only specify there. Anyone unsure what day and night or 7:00 to 7:59 refer to can click the link to [[time]] above. This is consistent with what's in Lycanroc's section, the only difference being that section has to list three different evening definitions whereas Alcremie's section only needs the one.

== Rei/Akari ==

Since I noticed you were the one that also removed the trivia on LA's page a year ago: Rei/Akari have never been listed on the Rival article even after over a year since the game's release. If you feel like they should be, you could make a case for it on the talk page... but for now, the trivia is currently valid as far as Bulbapedia's definition goes. [[User:PokemonMasterJamal3|PokemonMasterJamal3]] ([[User talk:PokemonMasterJamal3|talk]]) 18:15, 24 May 2023 (UTC)
:Also related to the LA page: "On its boxart" is grammatically correct. I have never heard the term "in its boxart" used before. [[User:PokemonMasterJamal3|PokemonMasterJamal3]] ([[User talk:PokemonMasterJamal3|talk]]) 19:51, 24 May 2023 (UTC)
::You are mistaken - "boxart" refers specifically to the artwork that is used on the box and not the box itself, so it should be "in its boxart" in the same way you'd say "in the artwork" rather than "on the artwork". [[User:Bandana Hewer Dee|Bandana Hewer Dee]] ([[User talk:Bandana Hewer Dee|talk]]) 20:10, 24 May 2023 (UTC)
:::Again, I'm pretty sure that "on its boxart"/"on the boxart" is still grammatically correct, and the wiki has always used this phrasing as well. [[User:PokemonMasterJamal3|PokemonMasterJamal3]] ([[User talk:PokemonMasterJamal3|talk]]) 21:02, 24 May 2023 (UTC)
::::"In its boxart" isn't used anywhere on the wiki. [[User:Landfish7|'''Land''']][[User talk:Landfish7|'''fish7''']] 23:34, 24 May 2023 (UTC)

== Forms ==

Hiya! Just letting you know that the form differences page is in the process of being split out into the species pages e.g. what you would find under Basculin is being moved to Basculin's species page under the section titled Form data. Before making updates to the form differences page, it might not hurt to check to see if that species has a Form data section, and apply the changes there instead. Let me know if you have any questions! [[User:Landfish7|'''Land''']][[User talk:Landfish7|'''fish7''']] 01:28, 1 June 2023 (UTC)

== The Preview Button again ==
Instead of editing a page several times in a row, try using the preview button to make sure your edit looks the way you want it to. It's right next to the Save Page button. Please try it out, so as not to clog up the Recent Changes. Also, if you want to edit multiple sections of the page, make sure that you click "edit this page" at the top of the page rather than editing it by section.

== Form differences ==

Given that the most common methods of achieving a specific form are through form change or Evolution, I believe it is appropriate and helpful to indicate on the [[Form]] article that some forms are not achieved through either, with Bloodmoon Ursaluna being just one example of such a case. In fact, official sources also felt like this was important to distinguish when explaining Bloodmoon Ursaluna's form: ''[https://scarletviolet.pokemon.com/en-us/pokemon/bloodmoon_ursaluna/ The Pokémon is unique in that its altered appearance cannot be attributed to Evolution or form change.]'' I also think we could expand the section to mention unique forms that are also gender differences, such as Meowstic and Basculegion. There's also Toxtricity, whose form is determined by Toxel's Nature. I'd appreciate it if you'd let me know if you feel this information would not enhance or help inform on the subject of the article, and why you may think so. Thanks! [[User:Landfish7|'''Land''']][[User talk:Landfish7|'''fish7''']] 01:49, 27 May 2024 (UTC)
:I feel like the only way Ursaluna could possibly be argued to be unique among form differences is the fact it can't be evolved into, and while worth noting regarding the actual form itself, I don't think it's notable enough to put in that blurb describing the basics of Pokémon forms and how some change while others don't. Those are the two main categories of forms, Ursaluna falls in the latter category, but giving it a special mention gives the misleading impression that it's somehow in its own separate category. Whether it can be evolved into is also a random reason for it to be worthy of a special mention, I'd sooner mention other differing factors like the varying ways Pokémon can change forms (e.g. in or out of battle, using items or other means), or if we're talking about evolution, there's Pokémon with one form that evolve into multiple and vice versa. But seeing as this is just a blurb, I think it's fine the way it is now, no need for it to get bloated when it's just an explanation of the basic concept of forms, and we explain the specifics of each individual one elsewhere. (Also mentioning gender differences in that section wouldn't really make sense since they're covered by the next section, and Toxtricity's form being determined by Nature is again a very random thing to deem noteworthy, there's all sorts of factors that can determine forms.)

== Blaine, Misty, and Brock: Trivia ==

Hi, I'm new to the Wiki. I have yet to fully read the guidelines, that's why I thought it best to speak to someone who last edited [[Blaine]]'s page. I would like you to add something to the Wiki regarding Blaine, Misty and Brock that I noticed in the [[Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver Versions]] as I played. It's about their respective days when they can be called for battles.

- For Blaine, I suspect he can be called on Tuesdays because the Japanese word for Tuesday, 火曜日 (kayōbi), is written with the character for fire: 火.

- For Misty, I suspect she can be called on Wednesdays because the Japanese word for Wednesday, 水曜日 (suiyōbi), is written with the character for water: 水.

- For Brock, I suspect he can be called on Saturdays because the Japanese word for Saturday, 土曜日 (doyōbi), is written with the character for earth: 土.

Feel free to verify what I just mentioned. Feel free to also take the credit. All I ask is for you to add this info on the rightful pages, if it is not already added, that is. I'm just a humble guy who's learning Japanese and playing their games. [[User:Samurai-D|Samurai-D]] ([[User talk:Samurai-D|talk]]) 02:39, 13 June 2025 (UTC)
:Considering that pre-National Pokédex Evolution stones at the [[Pokéathlon_Dome#Athlete_Shop|Athlete Shop]] also mostly correspond to the days of the week ('''Moon''' Stone on Mondays ('''月'''曜日), '''Water''' Stone on Wednesdays ('''水'''曜日), etc., and also both '''Metal''' Coat and ('''Gold''') Nugget on Fridays ('''金'''曜日), I think this really may have been a deliberate choice, and even if it wasn't, I still think it should be noted at least as a fun coincidence. There's also the fact that Clefairy dance at the Mt. '''Moon''' Square and leave a '''Moon''' Stone when they flee, on '''Mondays'''. [[User:Kikugi|Kikugi]] ([[User talk:Kikugi|talk]]) 23:38, 4 September 2025 (UTC)
::I agree. Since you're clearly more knowledgeable about this than me, you can feel free to add the information yourself. It would probably work fine as a trivia point on each character's page. [[User:Hewer|Hewer]] ([[User talk:Hewer|talk]]) 23:51, 4 September 2025 (UTC)

== Genesect's default form naming ==

I was going to edit the caption of the first infobox image from "Normal" back to "Genesect" to match other similar Pokemon (e.g. Kyogre, Magearna), but looked into the edit history and saw that you did some edits with that information.
Given that it would match the pages of other similar Pokemon and the data of the latest game (Legends: Z-A), it seems to me that the first infobox image caption should say "Genesect" instead of "Normal", but what do you think?

'''Darmanitan''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ヒヒダルマ''' ''Hihidaruma'') is a {{type|Fire}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation V]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Darumaka}} starting at [[level]] 35.

In [[Galar]], Darmanitan has an {{type|Ice}} [[regional form]]: '''{{rf|Galarian}} Darmanitan'''. It evolves from Galarian Darumaka when exposed to an [[Ice Stone]].

If Darmanitan's [[Ability]] is {{a|Zen Mode}} and its [[HP]] drops to half or below, it [[#Form data|changes]] from its '''Standard Mode''' into its '''Zen Mode'''. [[Unova]]n Zen Mode Darmanitan is dual-[[type]] {{2t|Fire|Psychic}}, while Galarian Zen Mode Darmanitan is dual-type {{2t|Ice|Fire}}.

==Biology==
In its normal state, Darmanitan is a mainly red, squat ape-like {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. It has long, bushy flame eyebrows that curl at the base, and round, black-ringed eyes. The upper portion of its tan face is separated from the lower portion by a diagonal red stripe, and its large mouth sports spiked teeth. All these facial features give the impression of a manic or angered expression. Its head has no discernible neck to distinguish it from the rest of the body and its rounded back, which culminates in a stubby tail. It has long arms with spiky hair fringes on the wrists and large tan hands, with a similar arrangement for its hind limbs. Additionally, Darmanitan has three tan ovals on its underside and two wavy lines on its back.

In its normal state, it has {{a|Sheer Force|immense physical strength}}; a single punch can destroy a dump truck. Its power level is proportional to the temperature of its internal fire, which can be as hot as 2,500 °F (1,400 °C). Darmanitan has a long lifespan, as one specimen in its Zen Mode was recorded living for 2,500 years as it was sleeping in the [[Relic Castle]].

Darmanitan is the [[Signature Ability|only known Pokémon]] that can have {{a|Zen Mode}} as an [[Ability]].

===Forms===
Both [[Unova]]n and {{rf|Galarian}} Darmanitan can change from their normal state, called Standard Mode, into Zen Mode.

====Zen Mode====
During Zen Mode, which is accessed by Darmanitan with the hidden Ability {{a|Zen Mode}}, its red fur and tan skin changes blue as it bears the resemblance of a Daruma doll. Its eyes turn blank, and its limbs fuse with its body, rendering them immobile. It also only has three toes, as opposed to normal Darmanitan having five.

In this state, it is hard as a rock. As it is rendered immobile, it enters a meditative trance to sharpen its mind, using it as strength emotionally and spiritually to battle and to perform everyday activities such as gather and eat food.

====Galarian Darmanitan====
Darmanitan has a [[regional form]]: Galarian Darmanitan.

Galarian Darmanitan has blue skin and a thicker coat than Unovan Darmanitan. Its fur is white, and is adorned with several ice gems; on its face, its fur makes the shape of a beard. Atop its head is a giant snowball that resembles an afro, which is also dotted with several ice crystals.

Galarian Darmanitan's biology is the result of it adapting to the cold of the [[Galar]] region. It develops an organ that produces cold air, while its flame sac becomes dormant. This also causes its nature to change, from a belligerent personality to a gentle and timid one. It becomes so timid that it will pretend to be a snowman when it senses humans nearby. It uses the snowball on its head to store food and other things it finds, preserving them for later. When in battle, it freezes its giant snowball in order to release powerful headbutts.<ref name=SwShsite/>

Galarian Darmanitan is the only known Pokémon that can have {{a|Gorilla Tactics}} as an Ability.

=====Galarian Darmanitan (Zen Mode)=====
Galarian Zen Mode Darmanitan resembles a snowman. Its false "head", located above its actual head, has glowing red-yellow eyes, a warped smile, and a flame sticking out at the center as its "carrot nose". Its face sports blank white eyes surrounded by a red mask-like pattern, and an angry grin showing razor-sharp teeth. Its hands become larger and orange, resembling mittens, and it has additional glowing red-yellow spots on its belly.

When Galarian Darmanitan enters Zen Mode, its dormant flame sac reignites back to life. This causes its disposition to change into a maddened rampaging state. It hops around in battle and unleashes fire everywhere without any care for its surroundings, nor if its body starts to melt, making it a threat to others and itself. It will continue rampaging indiscriminately until its rage is completely gone.<ref name=SwShsite>[https://swordshield.pokemon.com/en-us/pokemon-galar-region/darmanitan/ Galarian Darmanitan | Pokémon Sword and Pokémon Shield]</ref>

===Form data===
If 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 will only be in Zen Mode while in battle.

Standard Mode Darmanitan is {{type|Fire}} and red in color, while Zen Mode Darmanitan is {{2t|Fire|Psychic}}-type and blue in color. Galarian Darmanitan's Standard Mode is {{type|Ice}} and white in color with blue accents, while Galarian Darmanitan's Zen Mode is {{2t|Ice|Fire}}-type and white in color with red accents.

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.

===Main series===
====Major appearances====
=====[[Goh's Darmanitan]]=====
In ''[[JN014|Raid Battle in The Ruins!]]'', a Darmanitan was a guardian of the [[Colossus Ruins]] at the [[Desert Resort]]. [[Goh]] caught it after it was awakened. He later used Darmanitan in a [[Raid Battle (GO)#In animation|Raid Battle]] against a {{pkmn2|giant}} {{TP|Goh|Golurk}}, which he also caught after it was defeated.

=====Other=====
Darmanitan debuted in ''[[BW008|Saving Darmanitan From the Bell!]]'' alongside two Darumaka. Darmanitan and the Darumaka lived in a [[clock tower]]. When the tower started to break, Darmanitan stopped the loose bell from collapsing. However, due to fatigue, it transformed into its {{a|Zen Mode}} and used {{m|Psychic}} to keep the bell in midair, while the Darumaka stole food to keep its energy up.

In ''[[BW049|Enter Elesa, Electrifying Gym Leader!]]'', [[Bianca's father]] used a Darmanitan in a battle against {{Ash}}. It battled {{AP|Oshawott}} and came out victorious. It had the [[nickname]] of Red Flash Darmanitan, and both its Zen Mode and Standard Mode were featured.

In ''[[BW089|Iris and the Rogue Dragonite!]]'', a {{pkmn|Trainer}}'s Darmanitan was recruited by [[Officer Jenny]] to deal with a {{TP|Iris|Dragonite}} they believed had deliberately damaged a power plant.

In ''[[BW090|Jostling for the Junior Cup!]]'', [[Burgundy]]'s Darmanitan battled [[Trip's Serperior]] and lost.

In ''[[BW102|Team Eevee and the Pokémon Rescue Squad!]]'', [[Davy]] used a Darmanitan to free a {{p|Cryogonal}} that was trapped inside a building. It later teamed up with [[Virgil]]'s {{p|Flareon}} to melt the ice away from the frozen building.

{{rf|Galarian}} Darmanitan debuted in ''[[JN113|Chasing to the Finish!]]'', where one appeared under the ownership of [[Sterling]].

In ''[[HZ106|The Dusk Ball That Wouldn't Open]]'', a Unovan and a Galarian Darmanitan appeared under the ownership of [[Rubina]] and [[Indi]], respectively. In the [[HZ107|next episode]], they used each other's Darmanitan in their Zen Mode forms, marking the debut of Zen Mode Galarian Darmanitan.

In [[HZ126]], [[Rob]]'s Darumaka was shown to have evolve into Darmanitan.

====Minor appearances====
In ''[[BW022|A Venipede Stampede!]]'', a Trainer's Darmanitan was used in an attempt to stop a swarm of {{p|Venipede}}.

In a flashback in [[M14|''White—Victini and Zekrom'' and ''Black—Victini and Reshiram'']], multiple Darmanitan once lived at the now-relocated [[Sword of the Vale]].

In ''[[BW040|Cilan Versus Trip, Ash Versus Georgia!]]'', [[Scooter]]'s Darmanitan battled [[Luke]]'s {{p|Golett}} in the first round of the [[Club Battle]] and lost.

In a flashback in ''[[BW043|Meowth's Scrafty Tactics!]]'', a wild {{p|Scrafty}} tried to recruit a Darmanitan in an effort to reclaim its den.

In ''[[BW053|A Maractus Musical!]]'', three Zen Mode Darmanitan participated in the [[Pokémon Performance Competition]].

===Origin===
Darmanitan is based on a {{wp|Daruma doll}}, and its {{t|Fire}} typing is inspired by the traditional {{wp|Daruma doll#Daruma burning|Daruma burning ceremony}}. The Daruma dolls burned at the ceremony that Darmanitan's designer attended happened to resemble {{wp|gorilla}}s, which inspired its gorilla-like appearance.<ref name=ND204>''Nintendo Dream'' Vol. 204, April 2011 ([https://web.archive.org/web/20110704155314/http://shellspider.blog101.fc2.com/blog-entry-502.html Shellspider's blog (Japanese)], [http://lavacutcontent.com/ken-sugimori-nintendo-dream-2/ Translation by Dr. Lava])</ref> It may also be based on the adage of the {{wp|three wise monkeys}} — "See no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil" — as Darmanitan in their Zen Mode have their eyes become blank, their mouths shut tightly and their ears covered, sitting patiently in contrast to their bold posture in their Standard Mode. Its Zen Mode may be based on {{wp|Bodhidharma}}, achieving enlightenment. The varying presence of pupils between its Standard and Zen Modes reflects the practice of painting in the {{wp|Daruma doll#Eyes|eyes of a Daruma doll}}, and their symbolic value in relation to goal fulfillment.

{{rf|Galarian}} Darmanitan may be a mixture of a {{wp|snowman}}, known as 雪だるま ''yukidaruma'' in Japanese, and the {{wp|yeti}} (also known as the abominable snowman). In its Zen Mode, it resembles a traditional snowman with a {{wp|firecracker}} instead of the common carrot nose. Furthermore, where its original form draws its origin from {{wp|Buddhism}}, Galarian Darmanitan's design may be influenced by other {{wp|Dharmic religions}}, with its "beard" and "headpiece" bearing resemblance to those of {{wp|Hindu}} and {{wp|Sikh}} elders. Its {{type|Fire}} may be a reference to {{wp|atavism}}, the reappearance of an ancestral trait after having been lost through evolutionary change in previous generations.

====Name origin====
Darmanitan may be a combination of ''{{wp|Daruma doll|Dharma}}'' (alternate spelling of ''daruma'') and ''{{wp|orangutan}}''.

Hihidaruma may be a combination of 火 ''hi'' (fire), 緋 ''hi'' (scarlet), 狒々 ''hihi'' (baboon), ''Daruma'', and 火達磨 ''hidaruma'' (the state of being on fire).

'''Darmanitan''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ヒヒダルマ''' ''Hihidaruma'') is a {{type|Fire}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation V]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Darumaka}} starting at [[level]] 35.

In [[Galar]], Darmanitan has an {{type|Ice}} [[regional form]]: '''{{rf|Galarian}} Darmanitan'''. It evolves from Galarian Darumaka when exposed to an [[Ice Stone]].

If Darmanitan's [[Ability]] is {{a|Zen Mode}} and its [[HP]] drops to half or below, it [[#Form data|changes]] from its '''Standard Mode''' into its '''Zen Mode'''. [[Unova]]n Zen Mode Darmanitan is dual-[[type]] {{2t|Fire|Psychic}}, while Galarian Zen Mode Darmanitan is dual-type {{2t|Ice|Fire}}.

==Biology==
In its normal state, Darmanitan is a mainly red, squat ape-like {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. It has long, bushy flame eyebrows that curl at the base, and round, black-ringed eyes. The upper portion of its tan face is separated from the lower portion by a diagonal red stripe, and its large mouth sports spiked teeth. All these facial features give the impression of a manic or angered expression. Its head has no discernible neck to distinguish it from the rest of the body and its rounded back, which culminates in a stubby tail. It has long arms with spiky hair fringes on the wrists and large tan hands, with a similar arrangement for its hind limbs. Additionally, Darmanitan has three tan ovals on its underside and two wavy lines on its back.

In its normal state, it has {{a|Sheer Force|immense physical strength}}; a single punch can destroy a dump truck. Its power level is proportional to the temperature of its internal fire, which can be as hot as 2,500 °F (1,400 °C). Darmanitan has a long lifespan, as one specimen in its Zen Mode was recorded living for 2,500 years as it was sleeping in the [[Relic Castle]].

Darmanitan is the [[Signature Ability|only known Pokémon]] that can have {{a|Zen Mode}} as an [[Ability]].

===Forms===
Both [[Unova]]n and {{rf|Galarian}} Darmanitan can change from their normal state, called Standard Mode, into Zen Mode.

====Zen Mode====
During Zen Mode, which is accessed by Darmanitan with the hidden Ability {{a|Zen Mode}}, its red fur and tan skin changes blue as it bears the resemblance of a Daruma doll. Its eyes turn blank, and its limbs fuse with its body, rendering them immobile. It also only has three toes, as opposed to normal Darmanitan having five.

In this state, it is hard as a rock. As it is rendered immobile, it enters a meditative trance to sharpen its mind, using it as strength emotionally and spiritually to battle and to perform everyday activities such as gather and eat food.

====Galarian Darmanitan====
Darmanitan has a [[regional form]]: Galarian Darmanitan.

Galarian Darmanitan has blue skin and a thicker coat than Unovan Darmanitan. Its fur is white, and is adorned with several ice gems; on its face, its fur makes the shape of a beard. Atop its head is a giant snowball that resembles an afro, which is also dotted with several ice crystals.

Galarian Darmanitan's biology is the result of it adapting to the cold of the [[Galar]] region. It develops an organ that produces cold air, while its flame sac becomes dormant. This also causes its nature to change, from a belligerent personality to a gentle and timid one. It becomes so timid that it will pretend to be a snowman when it senses humans nearby. It uses the snowball on its head to store food and other things it finds, preserving them for later. When in battle, it freezes its giant snowball in order to release powerful headbutts.<ref name=SwShsite/>

Galarian Darmanitan is the only known Pokémon that can have {{a|Gorilla Tactics}} as an Ability.

=====Galarian Darmanitan (Zen Mode)=====
Galarian Zen Mode Darmanitan resembles a snowman. Its false "head", located above its actual head, has glowing red-yellow eyes, a warped smile, and a flame sticking out at the center as its "carrot nose". Its face sports blank white eyes surrounded by a red mask-like pattern, and an angry grin showing razor-sharp teeth. Its hands become larger and orange, resembling mittens, and it has additional glowing red-yellow spots on its belly.

When Galarian Darmanitan enters Zen Mode, its dormant flame sac reignites back to life. This causes its disposition to change into a maddened rampaging state. It hops around in battle and unleashes fire everywhere without any care for its surroundings, nor if its body starts to melt, making it a threat to others and itself. It will continue rampaging indiscriminately until its rage is completely gone.<ref name=SwShsite>[https://swordshield.pokemon.com/en-us/pokemon-galar-region/darmanitan/ Galarian Darmanitan | Pokémon Sword and Pokémon Shield]</ref>

===Form data===
If 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 will only be in Zen Mode while in battle.

Standard Mode Darmanitan is {{type|Fire}} and red in color, while Zen Mode Darmanitan is {{2t|Fire|Psychic}}-type and blue in color. Galarian Darmanitan's Standard Mode is {{type|Ice}} and white in color with blue accents, while Galarian Darmanitan's Zen Mode is {{2t|Ice|Fire}}-type and white in color with red accents.

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.

===Origin===
Darmanitan is based on a {{wp|Daruma doll}}, and its {{t|Fire}} typing is inspired by the traditional {{wp|Daruma doll#Daruma burning|Daruma burning ceremony}}. The Daruma dolls burned at the ceremony that Darmanitan's designer attended happened to resemble {{wp|gorilla}}s, which inspired its gorilla-like appearance.<ref name=ND204>''Nintendo Dream'' Vol. 204, April 2011 ([https://web.archive.org/web/20110704155314/http://shellspider.blog101.fc2.com/blog-entry-502.html Shellspider's blog (Japanese)], [http://lavacutcontent.com/ken-sugimori-nintendo-dream-2/ Translation by Dr. Lava])</ref> It may also be based on the adage of the {{wp|three wise monkeys}} — "See no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil" — as Darmanitan in their Zen Mode have their eyes become blank, their mouths shut tightly and their ears covered, sitting patiently in contrast to their bold posture in their Standard Mode. Its Zen Mode may be based on {{wp|Bodhidharma}}, achieving enlightenment. The varying presence of pupils between its Standard and Zen Modes reflects the practice of painting in the {{wp|Daruma doll#Eyes|eyes of a Daruma doll}}, and their symbolic value in relation to goal fulfillment.

{{rf|Galarian}} Darmanitan may be a mixture of a {{wp|snowman}}, known as 雪だるま ''yukidaruma'' in Japanese, and the {{wp|yeti}} (also known as the abominable snowman). In its Zen Mode, it resembles a traditional snowman with a {{wp|firecracker}} instead of the common carrot nose. Furthermore, where its original form draws its origin from {{wp|Buddhism}}, Galarian Darmanitan's design may be influenced by other {{wp|Dharmic religions}}, with its "beard" and "headpiece" bearing resemblance to those of {{wp|Hindu}} and {{wp|Sikh}} elders. Its {{type|Fire}} may be a reference to {{wp|atavism}}, the reappearance of an ancestral trait after having been lost through evolutionary change in previous generations.

====Name origin====
Darmanitan may be a combination of ''{{wp|Daruma doll|Dharma}}'' (alternate spelling of ''daruma'') and ''{{wp|orangutan}}''.

Hihidaruma may be a combination of 火 ''hi'' (fire), 緋 ''hi'' (scarlet), 狒々 ''hihi'' (baboon), ''Daruma'', and 火達磨 ''hidaruma'' (the state of being on fire).

'''Darmanitan''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ヒヒダルマ''' ''Hihidaruma'') is a {{type|Fire}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation V]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Darumaka}} starting at [[level]] 35.

In [[Galar]], Darmanitan has an {{type|Ice}} [[regional form]]: '''{{rf|Galarian}} Darmanitan'''. It evolves from Galarian Darumaka when exposed to an [[Ice Stone]].

If Darmanitan's [[Ability]] is {{a|Zen Mode}} and its [[HP]] drops to half or below, it [[#Form data|changes]] from its '''Standard Mode''' into its '''Zen Mode'''. [[Unova]]n Zen Mode Darmanitan is dual-[[type]] {{2t|Fire|Psychic}}, while Galarian Zen Mode Darmanitan is dual-type {{2t|Ice|Fire}}.

==Biology==
In its normal state, Darmanitan is a mainly red, squat ape-like {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. It has long, bushy flame eyebrows that curl at the base, and round, black-ringed eyes. The upper portion of its tan face is separated from the lower portion by a diagonal red stripe, and its large mouth sports spiked teeth. All these facial features give the impression of a manic or angered expression. Its head has no discernible neck to distinguish it from the rest of the body and its rounded back, which culminates in a stubby tail. It has long arms with spiky hair fringes on the wrists and large tan hands, with a similar arrangement for its hind limbs. Additionally, Darmanitan has three tan ovals on its underside and two wavy lines on its back.

In its normal state, it has {{a|Sheer Force|immense physical strength}}; a single punch can destroy a dump truck. Its power level is proportional to the temperature of its internal fire, which can be as hot as 2,500 °F (1,400 °C). Darmanitan has a long lifespan, as one specimen in its Zen Mode was recorded living for 2,500 years as it was sleeping in the [[Relic Castle]].

Darmanitan is the [[Signature Ability|only known Pokémon]] that can have {{a|Zen Mode}} as an [[Ability]].

===Forms===
Both [[Unova]]n and {{rf|Galarian}} Darmanitan can change from their normal state, called Standard Mode, into Zen Mode.

====Zen Mode====
During Zen Mode, which is accessed by Darmanitan with the hidden Ability {{a|Zen Mode}}, its red fur and tan skin changes blue as it bears the resemblance of a Daruma doll. Its eyes turn blank, and its limbs fuse with its body, rendering them immobile. It also only has three toes, as opposed to normal Darmanitan having five.

In this state, it is hard as a rock. As it is rendered immobile, it enters a meditative trance to sharpen its mind, using it as strength emotionally and spiritually to battle and to perform everyday activities such as gather and eat food.

====Galarian Darmanitan====
Darmanitan has a [[regional form]]: Galarian Darmanitan.

Galarian Darmanitan has blue skin and a thicker coat than Unovan Darmanitan. Its fur is white, and is adorned with several ice gems; on its face, its fur makes the shape of a beard. Atop its head is a giant snowball that resembles an afro, which is also dotted with several ice crystals.

Galarian Darmanitan's biology is the result of it adapting to the cold of the [[Galar]] region. It develops an organ that produces cold air, while its flame sac becomes dormant. This also causes its nature to change, from a belligerent personality to a gentle and timid one. It becomes so timid that it will pretend to be a snowman when it senses humans nearby. It uses the snowball on its head to store food and other things it finds, preserving them for later. When in battle, it freezes its giant snowball in order to release powerful headbutts.<ref name=SwShsite/>

Galarian Darmanitan is the only known Pokémon that can have {{a|Gorilla Tactics}} as an Ability.

=====Galarian Darmanitan (Zen Mode)=====
Galarian Zen Mode Darmanitan resembles a snowman. Its false "head", located above its actual head, has glowing red-yellow eyes, a warped smile, and a flame sticking out at the center as its "carrot nose". Its face sports blank white eyes surrounded by a red mask-like pattern, and an angry grin showing razor-sharp teeth. Its hands become larger and orange, resembling mittens, and it has additional glowing red-yellow spots on its belly.

When Galarian Darmanitan enters Zen Mode, its dormant flame sac reignites back to life. This causes its disposition to change into a maddened rampaging state. It hops around in battle and unleashes fire everywhere without any care for its surroundings, nor if its body starts to melt, making it a threat to others and itself. It will continue rampaging indiscriminately until its rage is completely gone.<ref name=SwShsite>[https://swordshield.pokemon.com/en-us/pokemon-galar-region/darmanitan/ Galarian Darmanitan | Pokémon Sword and Pokémon Shield]</ref>

===Form data===
If 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 will only be in Zen Mode while in battle.

Standard Mode Darmanitan is {{type|Fire}} and red in color, while Zen Mode Darmanitan is {{2t|Fire|Psychic}}-type and blue in color. Galarian Darmanitan's Standard Mode is {{type|Ice}} and white in color with blue accents, while Galarian Darmanitan's Zen Mode is {{2t|Ice|Fire}}-type and white in color with red accents.

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.

===Origin===
Darmanitan is based on a {{wp|Daruma doll}}, and its {{t|Fire}} typing is inspired by the traditional {{wp|Daruma doll#Daruma burning|Daruma burning ceremony}}. The Daruma dolls burned at the ceremony that Darmanitan's designer attended happened to resemble {{wp|gorilla}}s, which inspired its gorilla-like appearance.<ref name=ND204>''Nintendo Dream'' Vol. 204, April 2011 ([https://web.archive.org/web/20110704155314/http://shellspider.blog101.fc2.com/blog-entry-502.html Shellspider's blog (Japanese)], [http://lavacutcontent.com/ken-sugimori-nintendo-dream-2/ Translation by Dr. Lava])</ref> It may also be based on the adage of the {{wp|three wise monkeys}} — "See no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil" — as Darmanitan in their Zen Mode have their eyes become blank, their mouths shut tightly and their ears covered, sitting patiently in contrast to their bold posture in their Standard Mode. Its Zen Mode may be based on {{wp|Bodhidharma}}, achieving enlightenment. The varying presence of pupils between its Standard and Zen Modes reflects the practice of painting in the {{wp|Daruma doll#Eyes|eyes of a Daruma doll}}, and their symbolic value in relation to goal fulfillment.

{{rf|Galarian}} Darmanitan may be a mixture of a {{wp|snowman}}, known as 雪だるま ''yukidaruma'' in Japanese, and the {{wp|yeti}} (also known as the abominable snowman). In its Zen Mode, it resembles a traditional snowman with a {{wp|firecracker}} instead of the common carrot nose. Furthermore, where its original form draws its origin from {{wp|Buddhism}}, Galarian Darmanitan's design may be influenced by other {{wp|Dharmic religions}}, with its "beard" and "headpiece" bearing resemblance to those of {{wp|Hindu}} and {{wp|Sikh}} elders. Its {{type|Fire}} may be a reference to {{wp|atavism}}, the reappearance of an ancestral trait after having been lost through evolutionary change in previous generations.

====Name origin====
Darmanitan may be a combination of ''{{wp|Daruma doll|Dharma}}'' (alternate spelling of ''daruma'') and ''{{wp|orangutan}}''.

Hihidaruma may be a combination of 火 ''hi'' (fire), 緋 ''hi'' (scarlet), 狒々 ''hihi'' (baboon), ''Daruma'', and 火達磨 ''hidaruma'' (the state of being on fire).

'''Darmanitan''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ヒヒダルマ''' ''Hihidaruma'') is a {{type|Fire}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation V]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Darumaka}} starting at [[level]] 35.

In [[Galar]], Darmanitan has an {{type|Ice}} [[regional form]]: '''{{rf|Galarian}} Darmanitan'''. It evolves from Galarian Darumaka when exposed to an [[Ice Stone]].

If Darmanitan's [[Ability]] is {{a|Zen Mode}} and its [[HP]] drops to half or below, it [[#Form data|changes]] from its '''Standard Mode''' into its '''Zen Mode'''. [[Unova]]n Zen Mode Darmanitan is dual-[[type]] {{2t|Fire|Psychic}}, while Galarian Zen Mode Darmanitan is dual-type {{2t|Ice|Fire}}.

==Biology==
In its normal state, Darmanitan is a mainly red, squat ape-like {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. It has long, bushy flame eyebrows that curl at the base, and round, black-ringed eyes. The upper portion of its tan face is separated from the lower portion by a diagonal red stripe, and its large mouth sports spiked teeth. All these facial features give the impression of a manic or angered expression. Its head has no discernible neck to distinguish it from the rest of the body and its rounded back, which culminates in a stubby tail. It has long arms with spiky hair fringes on the wrists and large tan hands, with a similar arrangement for its hind limbs. Additionally, Darmanitan has three tan ovals on its underside and two wavy lines on its back.

In its normal state, it has {{a|Sheer Force|immense physical strength}}; a single punch can destroy a dump truck. Its power level is proportional to the temperature of its internal fire, which can be as hot as 2,500 °F (1,400 °C). Darmanitan has a long lifespan, as one specimen in its Zen Mode was recorded living for 2,500 years as it was sleeping in the [[Relic Castle]].

Darmanitan is the [[Signature Ability|only known Pokémon]] that can have {{a|Zen Mode}} as an [[Ability]].

===Forms===
Both [[Unova]]n and {{rf|Galarian}} Darmanitan can change from their normal state, called Standard Mode, into Zen Mode.

====Zen Mode====
During Zen Mode, which is accessed by Darmanitan with the hidden Ability {{a|Zen Mode}}, its red fur and tan skin changes blue as it bears the resemblance of a Daruma doll. Its eyes turn blank, and its limbs fuse with its body, rendering them immobile. It also only has three toes, as opposed to normal Darmanitan having five.

In this state, it is hard as a rock. As it is rendered immobile, it enters a meditative trance to sharpen its mind, using it as strength emotionally and spiritually to battle and to perform everyday activities such as gather and eat food.

====Galarian Darmanitan====
Darmanitan has a [[regional form]]: Galarian Darmanitan.

Galarian Darmanitan has blue skin and a thicker coat than Unovan Darmanitan. Its fur is white, and is adorned with several ice gems; on its face, its fur makes the shape of a beard. Atop its head is a giant snowball that resembles an afro, which is also dotted with several ice crystals.

Galarian Darmanitan's biology is the result of it adapting to the cold of the [[Galar]] region. It develops an organ that produces cold air, while its flame sac becomes dormant. This also causes its nature to change, from a belligerent personality to a gentle and timid one. It becomes so timid that it will pretend to be a snowman when it senses humans nearby. It uses the snowball on its head to store food and other things it finds, preserving them for later. When in battle, it freezes its giant snowball in order to release powerful headbutts.<ref name=SwShsite/>

Galarian Darmanitan is the only known Pokémon that can have {{a|Gorilla Tactics}} as an Ability.

=====Galarian Darmanitan (Zen Mode)=====
Galarian Zen Mode Darmanitan resembles a snowman. Its false "head", located above its actual head, has glowing red-yellow eyes, a warped smile, and a flame sticking out at the center as its "carrot nose". Its face sports blank white eyes surrounded by a red mask-like pattern, and an angry grin showing razor-sharp teeth. Its hands become larger and orange, resembling mittens, and it has additional glowing red-yellow spots on its belly.

When Galarian Darmanitan enters Zen Mode, its dormant flame sac reignites back to life. This causes its disposition to change into a maddened rampaging state. It hops around in battle and unleashes fire everywhere without any care for its surroundings, nor if its body starts to melt, making it a threat to others and itself. It will continue rampaging indiscriminately until its rage is completely gone.<ref name=SwShsite>[https://swordshield.pokemon.com/en-us/pokemon-galar-region/darmanitan/ Galarian Darmanitan | Pokémon Sword and Pokémon Shield]</ref>

===Form data===
If 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 will only be in Zen Mode while in battle.

Standard Mode Darmanitan is {{type|Fire}} and red in color, while Zen Mode Darmanitan is {{2t|Fire|Psychic}}-type and blue in color. Galarian Darmanitan's Standard Mode is {{type|Ice}} and white in color with blue accents, while Galarian Darmanitan's Zen Mode is {{2t|Ice|Fire}}-type and white in color with red accents.

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.

===Origin===
Darmanitan is based on a {{wp|Daruma doll}}, and its {{t|Fire}} typing is inspired by the traditional {{wp|Daruma doll#Daruma burning|Daruma burning ceremony}}. The Daruma dolls burned at the ceremony that Darmanitan's designer attended happened to resemble {{wp|gorilla}}s, which inspired its gorilla-like appearance.<ref name=ND204>''Nintendo Dream'' Vol. 204, April 2011 ([https://web.archive.org/web/20110704155314/http://shellspider.blog101.fc2.com/blog-entry-502.html Shellspider's blog (Japanese)], [http://lavacutcontent.com/ken-sugimori-nintendo-dream-2/ Translation by Dr. Lava])</ref> It may also be based on the adage of the {{wp|three wise monkeys}} — "See no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil" — as Darmanitan in their Zen Mode have their eyes become blank, their mouths shut tightly and their ears covered, sitting patiently in contrast to their bold posture in their Standard Mode. Its Zen Mode may be based on {{wp|Bodhidharma}}, achieving enlightenment. The varying presence of pupils between its Standard and Zen Modes reflects the practice of painting in the {{wp|Daruma doll#Eyes|eyes of a Daruma doll}}, and their symbolic value in relation to goal fulfillment.

{{rf|Galarian}} Darmanitan may be a mixture of a {{wp|snowman}}, known as 雪だるま ''yukidaruma'' in Japanese, and the {{wp|yeti}} (also known as the abominable snowman). In its Zen Mode, it resembles a traditional snowman with a {{wp|firecracker}} instead of the common carrot nose. Furthermore, where its original form draws its origin from {{wp|Buddhism}}, Galarian Darmanitan's design may be influenced by other {{wp|Dharmic religions}}, with its "beard" and "headpiece" bearing resemblance to those of {{wp|Hindu}} and {{wp|Sikh}} elders. Its {{type|Fire}} may be a reference to {{wp|atavism}}, the reappearance of an ancestral trait after having been lost through evolutionary change in previous generations.

====Name origin====
Darmanitan may be a combination of ''{{wp|Daruma doll|Dharma}}'' (alternate spelling of ''daruma'') and ''{{wp|orangutan}}''.

Hihidaruma may be a combination of 火 ''hi'' (fire), 緋 ''hi'' (scarlet), 狒々 ''hihi'' (baboon), ''Daruma'', and 火達磨 ''hidaruma'' (the state of being on fire).

'''Darmanitan''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ヒヒダルマ''' ''Hihidaruma'') is a {{type|Fire}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation V]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Darumaka}} starting at [[level]] 35.

In [[Galar]], Darmanitan has an {{type|Ice}} [[regional form]]: '''{{rf|Galarian}} Darmanitan'''. It evolves from Galarian Darumaka when exposed to an [[Ice Stone]].

If Darmanitan's [[Ability]] is {{a|Zen Mode}} and its [[HP]] drops to half or below, it [[#Form data|changes]] from its '''Standard Mode''' into its '''Zen Mode'''. [[Unova]]n Zen Mode Darmanitan is dual-[[type]] {{2t|Fire|Psychic}}, while Galarian Zen Mode Darmanitan is dual-type {{2t|Ice|Fire}}.

==Biology==
In its normal state, Darmanitan is a mainly red, squat ape-like {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. It has long, bushy flame eyebrows that curl at the base, and round, black-ringed eyes. The upper portion of its tan face is separated from the lower portion by a diagonal red stripe, and its large mouth sports spiked teeth. All these facial features give the impression of a manic or angered expression. Its head has no discernible neck to distinguish it from the rest of the body and its rounded back, which culminates in a stubby tail. It has long arms with spiky hair fringes on the wrists and large tan hands, with a similar arrangement for its hind limbs. Additionally, Darmanitan has three tan ovals on its underside and two wavy lines on its back.

In its normal state, it has {{a|Sheer Force|immense physical strength}}; a single punch can destroy a dump truck. Its power level is proportional to the temperature of its internal fire, which can be as hot as 2,500 °F (1,400 °C). Darmanitan has a long lifespan, as one specimen in its Zen Mode was recorded living for 2,500 years as it was sleeping in the [[Relic Castle]].

Darmanitan is the [[Signature Ability|only known Pokémon]] that can have {{a|Zen Mode}} as an [[Ability]].

===Forms===
Both [[Unova]]n and {{rf|Galarian}} Darmanitan can change from their normal state, called Standard Mode, into Zen Mode.

====Zen Mode====
During Zen Mode, which is accessed by Darmanitan with the hidden Ability {{a|Zen Mode}}, its red fur and tan skin changes blue as it bears the resemblance of a Daruma doll. Its eyes turn blank, and its limbs fuse with its body, rendering them immobile. It also only has three toes, as opposed to normal Darmanitan having five.

In this state, it is hard as a rock. As it is rendered immobile, it enters a meditative trance to sharpen its mind, using it as strength emotionally and spiritually to battle and to perform everyday activities such as gather and eat food.

====Galarian Darmanitan====
Darmanitan has a [[regional form]]: Galarian Darmanitan.

Galarian Darmanitan has blue skin and a thicker coat than Unovan Darmanitan. Its fur is white, and is adorned with several ice gems; on its face, its fur makes the shape of a beard. Atop its head is a giant snowball that resembles an afro, which is also dotted with several ice crystals.

Galarian Darmanitan's biology is the result of it adapting to the cold of the [[Galar]] region. It develops an organ that produces cold air, while its flame sac becomes dormant. This also causes its nature to change, from a belligerent personality to a gentle and timid one. It becomes so timid that it will pretend to be a snowman when it senses humans nearby. It uses the snowball on its head to store food and other things it finds, preserving them for later. When in battle, it freezes its giant snowball in order to release powerful headbutts.<ref name=SwShsite/>

Galarian Darmanitan is the only known Pokémon that can have {{a|Gorilla Tactics}} as an Ability.

=====Galarian Darmanitan (Zen Mode)=====
Galarian Zen Mode Darmanitan resembles a snowman. Its false "head", located above its actual head, has glowing red-yellow eyes, a warped smile, and a flame sticking out at the center as its "carrot nose". Its face sports blank white eyes surrounded by a red mask-like pattern, and an angry grin showing razor-sharp teeth. Its hands become larger and orange, resembling mittens, and it has additional glowing red-yellow spots on its belly.

When Galarian Darmanitan enters Zen Mode, its dormant flame sac reignites back to life. This causes its disposition to change into a maddened rampaging state. It hops around in battle and unleashes fire everywhere without any care for its surroundings, nor if its body starts to melt, making it a threat to others and itself. It will continue rampaging indiscriminately until its rage is completely gone.<ref name=SwShsite>[https://swordshield.pokemon.com/en-us/pokemon-galar-region/darmanitan/ Galarian Darmanitan | Pokémon Sword and Pokémon Shield]</ref>

===Form data===
If 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 will only be in Zen Mode while in battle.

Standard Mode Darmanitan is {{type|Fire}} and red in color, while Zen Mode Darmanitan is {{2t|Fire|Psychic}}-type and blue in color. Galarian Darmanitan's Standard Mode is {{type|Ice}} and white in color with blue accents, while Galarian Darmanitan's Zen Mode is {{2t|Ice|Fire}}-type and white in color with red accents.

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.

===Origin===
Darmanitan is based on a {{wp|Daruma doll}}, and its {{t|Fire}} typing is inspired by the traditional {{wp|Daruma doll#Daruma burning|Daruma burning ceremony}}. The Daruma dolls burned at the ceremony that Darmanitan's designer attended happened to resemble {{wp|gorilla}}s, which inspired its gorilla-like appearance.<ref name=ND204>''Nintendo Dream'' Vol. 204, April 2011 ([https://web.archive.org/web/20110704155314/http://shellspider.blog101.fc2.com/blog-entry-502.html Shellspider's blog (Japanese)], [http://lavacutcontent.com/ken-sugimori-nintendo-dream-2/ Translation by Dr. Lava])</ref> It may also be based on the adage of the {{wp|three wise monkeys}} — "See no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil" — as Darmanitan in their Zen Mode have their eyes become blank, their mouths shut tightly and their ears covered, sitting patiently in contrast to their bold posture in their Standard Mode. Its Zen Mode may be based on {{wp|Bodhidharma}}, achieving enlightenment. The varying presence of pupils between its Standard and Zen Modes reflects the practice of painting in the {{wp|Daruma doll#Eyes|eyes of a Daruma doll}}, and their symbolic value in relation to goal fulfillment.

{{rf|Galarian}} Darmanitan may be a mixture of a {{wp|snowman}}, known as 雪だるま ''yukidaruma'' in Japanese, and the {{wp|yeti}} (also known as the abominable snowman). In its Zen Mode, it resembles a traditional snowman with a {{wp|firecracker}} instead of the common carrot nose. Furthermore, where its original form draws its origin from {{wp|Buddhism}}, Galarian Darmanitan's design may be influenced by other {{wp|Dharmic religions}}, with its "beard" and "headpiece" bearing resemblance to those of {{wp|Hindu}} and {{wp|Sikh}} elders. Its {{type|Fire}} may be a reference to {{wp|atavism}}, the reappearance of an ancestral trait after having been lost through evolutionary change in previous generations.

====Name origin====
Darmanitan may be a combination of ''{{wp|Daruma doll|Dharma}}'' (alternate spelling of ''daruma'') and ''{{wp|orangutan}}''.

Hihidaruma may be a combination of 火 ''hi'' (fire), 緋 ''hi'' (scarlet), 狒々 ''hihi'' (baboon), ''Daruma'', and 火達磨 ''hidaruma'' (the state of being on fire).

'''Darmanitan''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ヒヒダルマ''' ''Hihidaruma'') is a {{type|Fire}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation V]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Darumaka}} starting at [[level]] 35.

In [[Galar]], Darmanitan has an {{type|Ice}} [[regional form]]: '''{{rf|Galarian}} Darmanitan'''. It evolves from Galarian Darumaka when exposed to an [[Ice Stone]].

If Darmanitan's [[Ability]] is {{a|Zen Mode}} and its [[HP]] drops to half or below, it [[#Form data|changes]] from its '''Standard Mode''' into its '''Zen Mode'''. [[Unova]]n Zen Mode Darmanitan is dual-[[type]] {{2t|Fire|Psychic}}, while Galarian Zen Mode Darmanitan is dual-type {{2t|Ice|Fire}}.

==Biology==
In its normal state, Darmanitan is a mainly red, squat ape-like {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. It has long, bushy flame eyebrows that curl at the base, and round, black-ringed eyes. The upper portion of its tan face is separated from the lower portion by a diagonal red stripe, and its large mouth sports spiked teeth. All these facial features give the impression of a manic or angered expression. Its head has no discernible neck to distinguish it from the rest of the body and its rounded back, which culminates in a stubby tail. It has long arms with spiky hair fringes on the wrists and large tan hands, with a similar arrangement for its hind limbs. Additionally, Darmanitan has three tan ovals on its underside and two wavy lines on its back.

In its normal state, it has {{a|Sheer Force|immense physical strength}}; a single punch can destroy a dump truck. Its power level is proportional to the temperature of its internal fire, which can be as hot as 2,500 °F (1,400 °C). Darmanitan has a long lifespan, as one specimen in its Zen Mode was recorded living for 2,500 years as it was sleeping in the [[Relic Castle]].

Darmanitan is the [[Signature Ability|only known Pokémon]] that can have {{a|Zen Mode}} as an [[Ability]].

===Forms===
Both [[Unova]]n and {{rf|Galarian}} Darmanitan can change from their normal state, called Standard Mode, into Zen Mode.

====Zen Mode====
During Zen Mode, which is accessed by Darmanitan with the hidden Ability {{a|Zen Mode}}, its red fur and tan skin changes blue as it bears the resemblance of a Daruma doll. Its eyes turn blank, and its limbs fuse with its body, rendering them immobile. It also only has three toes, as opposed to normal Darmanitan having five.

In this state, it is hard as a rock. As it is rendered immobile, it enters a meditative trance to sharpen its mind, using it as strength emotionally and spiritually to battle and to perform everyday activities such as gather and eat food.

====Galarian Darmanitan====
Darmanitan has a [[regional form]]: Galarian Darmanitan.

Galarian Darmanitan has blue skin and a thicker coat than Unovan Darmanitan. Its fur is white, and is adorned with several ice gems; on its face, its fur makes the shape of a beard. Atop its head is a giant snowball that resembles an afro, which is also dotted with several ice crystals.

Galarian Darmanitan's biology is the result of it adapting to the cold of the [[Galar]] region. It develops an organ that produces cold air, while its flame sac becomes dormant. This also causes its nature to change, from a belligerent personality to a gentle and timid one. It becomes so timid that it will pretend to be a snowman when it senses humans nearby. It uses the snowball on its head to store food and other things it finds, preserving them for later. When in battle, it freezes its giant snowball in order to release powerful headbutts.<ref name=SwShsite/>

Galarian Darmanitan is the only known Pokémon that can have {{a|Gorilla Tactics}} as an Ability.

=====Galarian Darmanitan (Zen Mode)=====
Galarian Zen Mode Darmanitan resembles a snowman. Its false "head", located above its actual head, has glowing red-yellow eyes, a warped smile, and a flame sticking out at the center as its "carrot nose". Its face sports blank white eyes surrounded by a red mask-like pattern, and an angry grin showing razor-sharp teeth. Its hands become larger and orange, resembling mittens, and it has additional glowing red-yellow spots on its belly.

When Galarian Darmanitan enters Zen Mode, its dormant flame sac reignites back to life. This causes its disposition to change into a maddened rampaging state. It hops around in battle and unleashes fire everywhere without any care for its surroundings, nor if its body starts to melt, making it a threat to others and itself. It will continue rampaging indiscriminately until its rage is completely gone.<ref name=SwShsite>[https://swordshield.pokemon.com/en-us/pokemon-galar-region/darmanitan/ Galarian Darmanitan | Pokémon Sword and Pokémon Shield]</ref>

===Form data===
If 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 will only be in Zen Mode while in battle.

Standard Mode Darmanitan is {{type|Fire}} and red in color, while Zen Mode Darmanitan is {{2t|Fire|Psychic}}-type and blue in color. Galarian Darmanitan's Standard Mode is {{type|Ice}} and white in color with blue accents, while Galarian Darmanitan's Zen Mode is {{2t|Ice|Fire}}-type and white in color with red accents.

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.

===Origin===
Darmanitan is based on a {{wp|Daruma doll}}, and its {{t|Fire}} typing is inspired by the traditional {{wp|Daruma doll#Daruma burning|Daruma burning ceremony}}. The Daruma dolls burned at the ceremony that Darmanitan's designer attended happened to resemble {{wp|gorilla}}s, which inspired its gorilla-like appearance.<ref name=ND204>''Nintendo Dream'' Vol. 204, April 2011 ([https://web.archive.org/web/20110704155314/http://shellspider.blog101.fc2.com/blog-entry-502.html Shellspider's blog (Japanese)], [http://lavacutcontent.com/ken-sugimori-nintendo-dream-2/ Translation by Dr. Lava])</ref> It may also be based on the adage of the {{wp|three wise monkeys}} — "See no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil" — as Darmanitan in their Zen Mode have their eyes become blank, their mouths shut tightly and their ears covered, sitting patiently in contrast to their bold posture in their Standard Mode. Its Zen Mode may be based on {{wp|Bodhidharma}}, achieving enlightenment. The varying presence of pupils between its Standard and Zen Modes reflects the practice of painting in the {{wp|Daruma doll#Eyes|eyes of a Daruma doll}}, and their symbolic value in relation to goal fulfillment.

{{rf|Galarian}} Darmanitan may be a mixture of a {{wp|snowman}}, known as 雪だるま ''yukidaruma'' in Japanese, and the {{wp|yeti}} (also known as the abominable snowman). In its Zen Mode, it resembles a traditional snowman with a {{wp|firecracker}} instead of the common carrot nose. Furthermore, where its original form draws its origin from {{wp|Buddhism}}, Galarian Darmanitan's design may be influenced by other {{wp|Dharmic religions}}, with its "beard" and "headpiece" bearing resemblance to those of {{wp|Hindu}} and {{wp|Sikh}} elders. Its {{type|Fire}} may be a reference to {{wp|atavism}}, the reappearance of an ancestral trait after having been lost through evolutionary change in previous generations.

====Name origin====
Darmanitan may be a combination of ''{{wp|Daruma doll|Dharma}}'' (alternate spelling of ''daruma'') and ''{{wp|orangutan}}''.

Hihidaruma may be a combination of 火 ''hi'' (fire), 緋 ''hi'' (scarlet), 狒々 ''hihi'' (baboon), ''Daruma'', and 火達磨 ''hidaruma'' (the state of being on fire).

'''Tauros''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ケンタロス''' ''Kentauros'') is a {{type|Normal}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation I]].

In [[Paldea]], Tauros has [[#Form data|three]] different [[regional form]]s:
* '''Combat Breed''', which is {{type|Fighting}}
* '''Blaze Breed''', which is dual-type {{2t|Fighting|Fire}}
* '''Aqua Breed''', which is dual-type {{2t|Fighting|Water}}

Neither Kantonian Tauros nor Paldean Tauros are known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon, but it is considered to be a counterpart of {{p|Miltank}}.

==Biology==
[[File:Tauros Charge VII OD.png|200px|thumb|left|Poké Ride Tauros]]
Tauros is a quadrupedal, {{wp|bovine}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. It is covered in light brown fur with a thick, darker brown mane around the neck. It has a hump on its shoulders, a rounded muzzle with a dark brown nose, small, triangular eyes, three gray bumps running vertically down its forehead, and a pair of curved, gray horns growing from atop its head. Each of its three black tails has a tuft of fur on the end, and there is a single gray hoof on each foot. Tauros is a male-only species.

Tauros is a violent, rowdy Pokémon that whips itself into a frenzy using its three tails. It serves as a warning to others that Tauros is about to charge with astonishing speed. Once it starts charging, it is unable to stop or change course until it hits something. Tauros are capable of smashing through large boulders when charging. It lives and travels in herds on {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Grassland Pokémon|plains and grasslands}}. It will lock horns with others of its kind, and the herd's protector takes pride in its battle-scarred horns.

While still ferocious, Tauros are calmer in [[Alola]] than elsewhere, likely due to the region's climate. It is believed that the practice of using Tauros as [[Poké Ride|Ride Pokémon]], which is done to this day, originated in Alola. In contrast, Tauros in [[Galar]] are more volatile and don't like to be ridden.

Tauros is the [[signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Raging Bull}}.

===Forms===
In [[Paldea]], Tauros has three separate [[regional form]]s: Combat Breed, Blaze Breed, and Aqua Breed.

All three forms of Paldean Tauros are covered in dark gray fur, and have a thick black mane, gray horns, black hooves, and dark gray tails with black tips. Each form also has three gray bumps running vertically on its forehead, increasing in size from top to bottom. The physical differences between the three forms are visible on the shapes of their horns, manes, and tails. The three forms of Paldean Tauros are known as "The Wild Bulls of Paldea".

====Combat Breed====
The Combat Breed of Paldean Tauros has short, rounded, almost straight horns, and its mane and tails are shaped similarly to Kantonian Tauros. Combat Breed Paldean Tauros is known for its thick, powerful muscles and aggressive nature. Thanks to its muscular body, it is skilled at close-quarters combat, able to use its horns to strike at an opponent's weak spots.

====Blaze Breed====
The Blaze Breed of Paldean Tauros has sharp horns, pointing forward and bent at right angles. Its mane is spiky with streaks of red, and its tails are intertwined. Blaze Breed Paldean Tauros earns its name from the hot air it breathes from its nostrils. When channeling its fire energy, the bumps and horns on Blaze Breed Paldean Tauros's head will glow red. The horns can reach a temperature of over 1,800 degrees Fahrenheit (1,000 degrees Celsius), causing anyone gored by them to suffer both wounds and burns.

====Aqua Breed====
The Aqua Breed of Paldean Tauros has horns that usually point upward but can rotate backward — each horn has two round, bulbous forms and a hole on its tip. Its mane flows downward and is shaped like a beard, with five teardrop-shaped blue accents on it. Its tails are usually straight, but can bend to form a propeller shape, which aids it in swimming. Aqua Breed Paldean Tauros is recognized for its high body fat, which allows it to float easily in the water. It swims by unleashing high-pressure jets of water from its horns, as well as using its tails to propel itself. It can use the same water jets to pierce right through any enemy it hits. The bumps and horns on Aqua Breed Paldean Tauros's head will glow light blue when it attacks.

===Form data===
{{rf|Paldean}} 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 dual-type {{2t|Fighting|Fire}}, and Aqua Breed being dual-type {{2t|Fighting|Water}}. 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.

In {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}, the Blaze Breed is found exclusively in Pokémon Scarlet, while the Aqua Breed is found exclusively in Pokémon Violet. The Combat Breed is the most common of the three and is found in both versions. Regular Tauros bred in Paldea without an [[Everstone]] will always produce Combat Breed Paldean Tauros.

====Major appearances====
=====[[Ash's Tauros]]=====
{{Ash}} {{pkmn2|caught}} a herd of 30 Tauros at the {{safari|Kanto}} in [[EP035]], an episode that was [[Banned episodes|banned]] everywhere outside of Asia due to the prolific use of [[Weaponry in the Pokémon world|guns]] in it, leading to confusion for many as to how he obtained them. They made their international [[dub]] debut in ''[[EP065|Showdown at the Po-ké Corral]]'', stampeding at [[Professor Oak's Laboratory]].

=====Other=====
In ''[[EP099|The Mandarin Island Miss-Match]]'', a {{pkmn|Trainer}}'s Tauros battled {{Ash}}'s Pokémon. He easily defeated {{AP|Squirtle}} with {{m|Tackle}} before being knocked out by {{AP|Charizard}}'s {{m|Flamethrower}}.

In ''[[EP101|Get Along, Little Pokémon]]'', {{OBP|Ethan|EP101}} used two Tauros to pull his stagecoach as he traverses [[Mandarin Island South]].

In ''[[EP146|Tricks of the Trade]]'', a "Running of the Tauros" event in [[Palmpona]] brought out many Tauros, including one belonging to [[Fernando]], a Trainer who managed to get ten consecutive victories in the tournament. Ash brought his from [[Professor Oak's Laboratory]] for this occasion as well, managing to defeat Fernando.

In ''[[EP166|Two Hits and a Miss]]'', a Trainer's Tauros went out of control. As a result, Ash had to use his {{AP|Bulbasaur}} to stop him.

In ''[[SM011|Young Kiawe Had a Farm!]]'', a herd of Tauros were living on [[Paniola Ranch]]. They then made further appearances in {{aniseries|SM}}.

In ''[[SM024|Alolan Open House!]]'', three Poké Ride Tauros were stolen from children at the [[Pokémon School]] by [[Tupp]], [[Rapp]], and [[Zipp]].

In ''[[SM031|The Island Whisperer!]]'', a Trainer's Tauros attacked [[Kiawe's Charizard]]. The fight was broken up by [[Olivia's Lycanroc]], and Tauros was calmed down by [[Olivia]] herself.

In ''[[SM033|Big Sky, Small Fry!]]'', Olivia used a Poké Ride Tauros to travel around [[Paniola Town]].

In ''[[JN021|Caring for a Mystery!]]'', [[Hayden]] used a Tauros in a [[World Coronation Series]] {{pkmn|battle}} against Ash. He went up against {{AP|Pikachu}}, only to be defeated.

In ''[[JN061|Searching for Service with a Smile!]]'', Ash, Goh, and [[Devi and Multa|Multa]] took care of multiple Tauros belonging to a Tauros enthusiast. Later, {{TRT}} stole some of them, but when {{MTR}} fell from a manhole along with the Tauros, they had to join forces to rescue them.

A {{fd|Tauros|Blaze Breed}} and {{fd|Tauros|Aqua Breed}} {{rf|Paldean}} Tauros appeared in ''[[HZ099|Orla, Grounded]]'', under the ownership of [[Rubina]] and [[Indi]], respectively.

* {{TFG|Next Quest}}: {{TFG ID|Next Quest|Tauros|36}}

==Trivia==
* In the original {{game|Red and Green|s}}, the Pokédex entry mistakenly states Tauros has 2 tails; this was corrected to 3 in FireRed.
* Tauros can be seen as a counterpart to {{p|Miltank}}. Both are bovine-like Pokémon with the same base stat total. While Tauros is a male-only species, Miltank is a female-only species.
** Despite not being associated with a certain group, both Tauros and Miltank are listed on the same [[Pokédex]] page in [[Pokémon Sun and Moon]]. The same trait is true with {{p|Oranguru}} and {{p|Passimian}}.
* According to {{g|Sun and Moon}}, Tauros was designed by [[Shigeki Morimoto]].
** Additionally, in Pokémon Sun and Moon, if the {{player}} brings a Tauros with a Game Boy [[origin mark]] to [[Game Freak]] Morimoto at [[Heahea City]], he will remark on how Tauros used to be one of the most powerful Pokémon in the [[Generation I]] [[core series]] {{pkmn|games}}, in part because it could learn {{m|Blizzard}}.
** All three forms of Paldean Tauros were designed by [[James Turner]].<ref>[https://twitter.com/JamesTurner_42/status/1639923490957545472 Tweet by James Turner (@JamesTurner_42).] Posted on March 26, 2023.</ref>
* Tauros is the only Pokémon to have more than one [[regional form]] within the same region; in the [[Paldea]] region, it has three different regional forms.
* Tauros forms a notable bug in [[Pokémon Play It!]], a game largely based on the Trading Card Game. Once the "Tauros" card appears, either in the player's own deck or that of the digital opponent, the game will shut down or freeze the player's computer.
* In {{game|Crystal}}, a [[List of glitches in Generation II#Heavy Ball junk data glitch|bug]] causes the capture formula for the [[Heavy Ball]] to incorrectly retrieve this Pokémon's weight, giving it a +40 catch rate modifier. This also affects {{p|Kadabra}} and {{p|Sunflora}}.
* Blaze Breed {{rf|Paldean}} Tauros is the only dual-type {{2t|Fighting|Fire}} Pokémon to not be an evolutionary relative of a [[first partner Pokémon]].
** Blaze Breed Paldean Tauros is the only dual-type Fighting/Fire Pokémon to have Fighting as its primary type instead of its secondary type.
* There is an entry for Kantonian Tauros in the [[List of Pokémon by Paldea Pokédex number|Paldean Pokédex]], even though it was not available in {{g|Scarlet and Violet}} unless transferred from {{g|HOME}}. The same entry was later made available through the [[List of Pokémon by Blueberry Pokédex number|Blueberry Pokédex]].
** The entry for Kantonian Tauros in Violet was edited slightly as of version 1.3.0. The original text is as follows: "They fight each other by locking horns. The herd's protector takes pride in its battle-scarred horns." It is identical to Kantonian Tauros's Pokédex entries in {{game|Gold}}, {{pkmn|Stadium 2}}, and {{game|HeartGold}}.

===Origin===
Tauros appears to be based on a {{wp|Cattle|bull}} or a {{wp|bison}} and may also be based on the constellation {{wp|Taurus (constellation)|Taurus}}. Its tails may be based on a {{wp|whip}}, more specifically the {{wp|cat o' nine tails}}.

Paldean Tauros's appearance, typing, and the fact that it is found in a region inspired by {{wp|Spain}} easily suggest inspiration from the {{wp|Spanish fighting bull}}. The black color could also be inspired by the {{wp|Osborne bull}}, which has become a cultural emblem of Spain. The two variations of Paldean Tauros being Fire and Water types specifically could be a reference to two of the most famous bullfighting practices in Spain: the {{wp|Toro embolado}}, mainly from the {{wp|Valencian Community}}, where the bull horns are set on fire; and the {{wp|es:Bous a la Mar|Bous a la Mar}}, from the Valencian region of {{wp|Dénia}}, where the bulls run down the Marqués de Campo street and end up swimming in the {{wp|Mediterranean Sea}}. The Aqua Breed form may also be loosely based on a {{wp|water buffalo}}, and the form of its tails could take inspiration from ship {{wp|propeller}}s or {{wp|water wheel}}s; as well as the {{wp|triskelion}}, a popular motif used by ancient European cultures, especially the {{wp|Celts}}.

====Name origin====
Tauros may be derived from its Japanese name, Kentauros. It may also be derived from ταῦρος ''tauros'' (Greek for bull).

Kentauros may be derived from Κένταυρος ''Kéntauros'' (Greek for {{wp|centaur}}).

'''Wooper''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ウパー''' ''Upah'') is a dual-type {{2t|Water|Ground}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation II]].

It [[Evolution|evolve]]s into {{p|Quagsire}} starting at [[level]] 20.

In [[Paldea]], Wooper has a dual-type {{t|Poison}}/{{t|Ground}} [[regional form]]. Paldean Wooper evolves into {{p|Clodsire}} starting at level 20.

==Biology==
Wooper is a mostly blue, {{wp|amphibian|amphibious}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that resembles an upright, armless {{wp|axolotl}}. Wooper's head is large compared to its body, and it has small, round, black eyes. It has purple, branching gills on either side of its head; the males have more branches in its gills than the females. Wooper stands on two small, round feet, and it has a large, thick tail. On its belly are dark blue curved markings.

It is implied in the {{aniseries|JN}} episode ''[[JN008|The Sinnoh Iceberg Race!]]'' that Wooper is a dull-witted Pokémon oblivious to its surroundings. Wooper lives in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Water's-edge Pokémon|cold water}} most of the time. When sleeping, it partially buries itself in the mud at the bottom. It will occasionally leave the water when the air cools in the evening to search for food along the shore. While walking on land, it coats its body with a slimy, toxic film that keeps its skin from dehydrating and insulates against the cold. The film causes a shooting pain if touched barehanded. It is a timid Pokémon and tends to stay close to {{p|Quagsire}}. {{p|Arbok}} is a natural predator of Wooper. As shown in [[Pokémon Sleep]], Wooper tends to bury half its body in the mud at the bottom of the water to sleep. When Wooper also does this while sleeping on land. By sleeping in the mud on land, Wooper can keep its skin wet and prevent dehydration.

===Forms===
Wooper has a [[regional form]]: {{rf|Paldean}} Wooper.

Wooper in the [[Paldea]] region has a brown coloration, with two pairs of bone-shaped gills branching from its head, as well as an eight-pronged pattern on its stomach. Paldean Wooper once lived in the water during ancient times until they were forced out of their territory. As a result, they gradually adapted to living on land, namely in marshes. Paldean Wooper employs two adaptations to allow it to survive on land: its gills have hardened, and it coats its body with a poisonous film that keeps it from drying out. However, these adaptations resulted in Paldean Wooper having heavy bodies and being only able to move really slowly. To defend itself, Paldean Wooper can use its gills to unleash a powerful poisonous liquid.<ref name=SVsite>[https://scarletviolet.pokemon.com/en-us/pokemon/paldean_wooper/ Paldean Wooper — Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet | Official Website]</ref> Paldean Wooper travel and work together in groups of three or four, and enlist the help of their evolutionary relative, {{p|Clodsire}}, to ferry them across water. Despite the adaptational change, Paldean Wooper can still float or swim in the water. Paldean Wooper usually lives in muddy wetlands. As mentioned in [[Pokémon Sleep]], Paldean Wooper has been observed sleeping with its whole body coated in mud.

===Evolution===
Wooper evolves into {{p|Quagsire}}.

{{rf|Paldean}} Wooper evolves into {{p|Clodsire}}.

While its head is small, {{player}}s can also stand on the gills.

===[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]===
Wooper appears as a {{sbw|Spirit}}. It gives fighters that use it more power for their Water and Ice Attacks, and is obtainable through the Spirit Board via battle and Vault Shop for 500G.

==Trivia==
* Wooper has the lowest base {{stat|Special Defense}} stat and the lowest base stat total of all {{type|Ground}} Pokémon.
* Wooper was one of the first Pokémon to have its [[List of Pokémon with gender differences|gender differences]] revealed, along with {{p|Scizor}}.
* Paldean Wooper is the only [[Paldean form]] to be revealed prior to the release of {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}. Consequently, it is also the only [[regional form]] to be revealed alone during a game's pre-release season.
* Paldean Wooper is currently the only regional form that appears in {{g|Pokopia}}.

===Origin===
{{bulbanews|On the Origin of Species: Wooper}}
Wooper appears to be based on a larval {{wp|salamander}}, which has a flat tail and feathery, external gills. Its gills seem to particularly bring to mind the {{wp|axlotl}}, a species of salamander that keeps its gills and remains in the water for all of its life because it never develops lungs. Many species of salamanders are known for their poisonous skin, which may be referenced in Wooper's Pokédex entries and Paldean Wooper's design. Wooper's {{Shiny}} sprite gives it a similar coloration to that of {{wp|Albinism|albino}}, {{wp|Leucism|leucistic}}, and flavistic color mutants.

Paldean Wooper's gills make the shape of a {{wp|skull and crossbones}}, a hazard symbol used as a warning for poisonous substances. These bone-shaped gills, combined with Paldean Wooper's brown coloration, rib-like pattern on its chest, and the fact that it is found in a region inspired by the {{wp|Iberian peninsula}}, together may be a direct reference to the {{wp|Iberian ribbed newt}}. This salamander species is known for puncturing its poison-coated ribs through its skin as a defense mechanism, much like how Paldean Wooper is able to secrete poison out of its bone-shaped gills. Paldean Wooper may also be inspired by {{wp|mudskipper}}s, which are fish that are capable of living outside of water.

Alternatively, the fact that Paldean Wooper was forced out of its ancient water habitat may be a reference to the ecological issues facing the axolotl in the wild, following the destruction of the Aztec capital of {{wp|Tenochtitlan}} and the draining of {{wp|Lake Texcoco}}.

====Name origin====
Wooper and Upah may be derived from ''wooper looper'' (Japanese: ウーパールーパー ''ūpārūpā''), a marketing term created in Japan that started a pet salamander raising fad. Wooper loopers are the Japanese term for the {{wp|axolotl}}, a species of {{wp|salamander}}.

'''Tauros''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ケンタロス''' ''Kentauros'') is a {{type|Normal}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation I]].

In [[Paldea]], Tauros has [[#Form data|three]] different [[regional form]]s:
* '''Combat Breed''', which is {{type|Fighting}}
* '''Blaze Breed''', which is dual-type {{2t|Fighting|Fire}}
* '''Aqua Breed''', which is dual-type {{2t|Fighting|Water}}

Neither Kantonian Tauros nor Paldean Tauros are known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon, but it is considered to be a counterpart of {{p|Miltank}}.

==Biology==
[[File:Tauros Charge VII OD.png|200px|thumb|left|Poké Ride Tauros]]
Tauros is a quadrupedal, {{wp|bovine}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. It is covered in light brown fur with a thick, darker brown mane around the neck. It has a hump on its shoulders, a rounded muzzle with a dark brown nose, small, triangular eyes, three gray bumps running vertically down its forehead, and a pair of curved, gray horns growing from atop its head. Each of its three black tails has a tuft of fur on the end, and there is a single gray hoof on each foot. Tauros is a male-only species.

Tauros is a violent, rowdy Pokémon that whips itself into a frenzy using its three tails. It serves as a warning to others that Tauros is about to charge with astonishing speed. Once it starts charging, it is unable to stop or change course until it hits something. Tauros are capable of smashing through large boulders when charging. It lives and travels in herds on {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Grassland Pokémon|plains and grasslands}}. It will lock horns with others of its kind, and the herd's protector takes pride in its battle-scarred horns.

While still ferocious, Tauros are calmer in [[Alola]] than elsewhere, likely due to the region's climate. It is believed that the practice of using Tauros as [[Poké Ride|Ride Pokémon]], which is done to this day, originated in Alola. In contrast, Tauros in [[Galar]] are more volatile and don't like to be ridden.

Tauros is the [[signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Raging Bull}}.

===Forms===
In [[Paldea]], Tauros has three separate [[regional form]]s: Combat Breed, Blaze Breed, and Aqua Breed.

All three forms of Paldean Tauros are covered in dark gray fur, and have a thick black mane, gray horns, black hooves, and dark gray tails with black tips. Each form also has three gray bumps running vertically on its forehead, increasing in size from top to bottom. The physical differences between the three forms are visible on the shapes of their horns, manes, and tails. The three forms of Paldean Tauros are known as "The Wild Bulls of Paldea".

====Combat Breed====
The Combat Breed of Paldean Tauros has short, rounded, almost straight horns, and its mane and tails are shaped similarly to Kantonian Tauros. Combat Breed Paldean Tauros is known for its thick, powerful muscles and aggressive nature. Thanks to its muscular body, it is skilled at close-quarters combat, able to use its horns to strike at an opponent's weak spots.

====Blaze Breed====
The Blaze Breed of Paldean Tauros has sharp horns, pointing forward and bent at right angles. Its mane is spiky with streaks of red, and its tails are intertwined. Blaze Breed Paldean Tauros earns its name from the hot air it breathes from its nostrils. When channeling its fire energy, the bumps and horns on Blaze Breed Paldean Tauros's head will glow red. The horns can reach a temperature of over 1,800 degrees Fahrenheit (1,000 degrees Celsius), causing anyone gored by them to suffer both wounds and burns.

====Aqua Breed====
The Aqua Breed of Paldean Tauros has horns that usually point upward but can rotate backward — each horn has two round, bulbous forms and a hole on its tip. Its mane flows downward and is shaped like a beard, with five teardrop-shaped blue accents on it. Its tails are usually straight, but can bend to form a propeller shape, which aids it in swimming. Aqua Breed Paldean Tauros is recognized for its high body fat, which allows it to float easily in the water. It swims by unleashing high-pressure jets of water from its horns, as well as using its tails to propel itself. It can use the same water jets to pierce right through any enemy it hits. The bumps and horns on Aqua Breed Paldean Tauros's head will glow light blue when it attacks.

===Form data===
{{rf|Paldean}} 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 dual-type {{2t|Fighting|Fire}}, and Aqua Breed being dual-type {{2t|Fighting|Water}}. 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.

In {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}, the Blaze Breed is found exclusively in Pokémon Scarlet, while the Aqua Breed is found exclusively in Pokémon Violet. The Combat Breed is the most common of the three and is found in both versions. Regular Tauros bred in Paldea without an [[Everstone]] will always produce Combat Breed Paldean Tauros.

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

==In the TFG==
One Tauros figure has been released.

* {{TFG|Next Quest}}: {{TFG ID|Next Quest|Tauros|36}}

==Trivia==
* In the original {{game|Red and Green|s}}, the Pokédex entry mistakenly states Tauros has 2 tails; this was corrected to 3 in FireRed.
* Tauros can be seen as a counterpart to {{p|Miltank}}. Both are bovine-like Pokémon with the same base stat total. While Tauros is a male-only species, Miltank is a female-only species.
** Despite not being associated with a certain group, both Tauros and Miltank are listed on the same [[Pokédex]] page in [[Pokémon Sun and Moon]]. The same trait is true with {{p|Oranguru}} and {{p|Passimian}}.
* According to {{g|Sun and Moon}}, Tauros was designed by [[Shigeki Morimoto]].
** Additionally, in Pokémon Sun and Moon, if the {{player}} brings a Tauros with a Game Boy [[origin mark]] to [[Game Freak]] Morimoto at [[Heahea City]], he will remark on how Tauros used to be one of the most powerful Pokémon in the [[Generation I]] [[core series]] {{pkmn|games}}, in part because it could learn {{m|Blizzard}}.
** All three forms of Paldean Tauros were designed by [[James Turner]].<ref>[https://twitter.com/JamesTurner_42/status/1639923490957545472 Tweet by James Turner (@JamesTurner_42).] Posted on March 26, 2023.</ref>
* Tauros is the only Pokémon to have more than one [[regional form]] within the same region; in the [[Paldea]] region, it has three different regional forms.
* Tauros forms a notable bug in [[Pokémon Play It!]], a game largely based on the Trading Card Game. Once the "Tauros" card appears, either in the player's own deck or that of the digital opponent, the game will shut down or freeze the player's computer.
* In {{game|Crystal}}, a [[List of glitches in Generation II#Heavy Ball junk data glitch|bug]] causes the capture formula for the [[Heavy Ball]] to incorrectly retrieve this Pokémon's weight, giving it a +40 catch rate modifier. This also affects {{p|Kadabra}} and {{p|Sunflora}}.
* Blaze Breed {{rf|Paldean}} Tauros is the only dual-type {{2t|Fighting|Fire}} Pokémon to not be an evolutionary relative of a [[first partner Pokémon]].
** Blaze Breed Paldean Tauros is the only dual-type Fighting/Fire Pokémon to have Fighting as its primary type instead of its secondary type.
* There is an entry for Kantonian Tauros in the [[List of Pokémon by Paldea Pokédex number|Paldean Pokédex]], even though it was not available in {{g|Scarlet and Violet}} unless transferred from {{g|HOME}}. The same entry was later made available through the [[List of Pokémon by Blueberry Pokédex number|Blueberry Pokédex]].
** The entry for Kantonian Tauros in Violet was edited slightly as of version 1.3.0. The original text is as follows: "They fight each other by locking horns. The herd's protector takes pride in its battle-scarred horns." It is identical to Kantonian Tauros's Pokédex entries in {{game|Gold}}, {{pkmn|Stadium 2}}, and {{game|HeartGold}}.

===Origin===
Tauros appears to be based on a {{wp|Cattle|bull}} or a {{wp|bison}} and may also be based on the constellation {{wp|Taurus (constellation)|Taurus}}. Its tails may be based on a {{wp|whip}}, more specifically the {{wp|cat o' nine tails}}.

Paldean Tauros's appearance, typing, and the fact that it is found in a region inspired by {{wp|Spain}} easily suggest inspiration from the {{wp|Spanish fighting bull}}. The black color could also be inspired by the {{wp|Osborne bull}}, which has become a cultural emblem of Spain. The two variations of Paldean Tauros being Fire and Water types specifically could be a reference to two of the most famous bullfighting practices in Spain: the {{wp|Toro embolado}}, mainly from the {{wp|Valencian Community}}, where the bull horns are set on fire; and the {{wp|es:Bous a la Mar|Bous a la Mar}}, from the Valencian region of {{wp|Dénia}}, where the bulls run down the Marqués de Campo street and end up swimming in the {{wp|Mediterranean Sea}}. The Aqua Breed form may also be loosely based on a {{wp|water buffalo}}, and the form of its tails could take inspiration from ship {{wp|propeller}}s or {{wp|water wheel}}s; as well as the {{wp|triskelion}}, a popular motif used by ancient European cultures, especially the {{wp|Celts}}.

====Name origin====
Tauros may be derived from its Japanese name, Kentauros. It may also be derived from ταῦρος ''tauros'' (Greek for bull).

Kentauros may be derived from Κένταυρος ''Kéntauros'' (Greek for {{wp|centaur}}).

'''Sneasel''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ニューラ''' ''Nyula'') is a dual-type {{2t|Dark|Ice}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation II]].

It [[Evolution|evolve]]s into {{p|Weavile}} when [[level]]ed up while holding a [[Razor Claw]] during the [[Time-based Evolution|night]].

In [[Hisui]], Sneasel has a dual-type {{2t|Fighting|Poison}} [[regional form]]. It evolves into {{p|Sneasler}} when [[level]]ed up while holding a Razor Claw during the day.

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

==Biology==
Sneasel is a bipedal {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that resembles both a cat and a weasel. It is primarily bluish-black with three bright red feathers for its tail and a single one on its left ear. The ear feather is shorter on the female than on the male. The other ear is short and pointed, and it has narrow red eyes. On its forehead and chest are oval, yellow gem-like protrusions. It has red eyes with black eyelash-like markings on the edges. It has long limbs with two large, white retractable claws on its hands and feet. It is perfectly capable of using its claws to do substantial damage. Its claws are also used for climbing trees in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Forest Pokémon|boreal or sub-alpine forests}} where it lives. It can also bring out its claws to startle foes that attacked it.

Sneasel is a smart, sneaky, and notoriously vicious Pokémon, and blends well into the night in order to ambush their prey. Sneasel feeds on {{pkmn|Eggs|eggs}}, such as those of {{p|Pidgey}}, that it steals from unattended nests. It uses its claws to poke a hole in the egg before slurping the contents out. It has been known to form pairs to hunt: one Sneasel will lure the parents away from their nest, while the other steals their eggs. Although the Sneasel pair works together, they will also fight over their hunt among themselves. As a result of its egg-based diet, Sneasel are despised by [[Pokémon Breeder (Trainer class)|Breeders]] to the point where they try to drive away or even outright eradicate them. Sneasel also preys on {{rf|Alolan}} {{p|Sandshrew}}, but the Sandshrew's skin is so hard that it can cause Sneasel's claws to snap off. As mentioned in [[Pokémon Sleep]], Sneasel has been observed sleeping peacefully on very rare occasions despite its savage personality. Additionally, it has been seen sleeping with its belly out and languidly washing its face.

Prior to [[Generation IV]], {{m|Beat Up}} was its [[signature move]], but other Pokémon could still inherit it via {{pkmn|breeding}}.

===Forms===
Sneasel has a [[regional form]]: {{rf|Hisuian}} Sneasel.

In [[Hisui]], Sneasel has a similar appearance to its [[Johto]]nian counterpart. It has a white body with purple colorations on its face, chest, shoulders, and forelimbs. The feathers on its tail and ear are light purple; like Johtonian Sneasel, the ear feather is shorter on the female than on the male. It has rounder eyes than its Johtonian form, although it shares the latter's gem-like protrusions, as well as the large claws on its hands and feet. The claws are tipped with poison, and are purple on its forelimbs and white on its feet.

Hisuian Sneasel's sturdy and curved claws allow it to climb and travel through the walls of precipitous cliffs where it lives. The venom from the tips of its claws is capable of invading the nervous system of any prey it scratches. It has been observed that Hisuian Sneasel lacks the spitefulness of its Johtonian counterpart, and it has been theorized that differences in their environments account for the differing personalities. As a result, Hisuian Sneasel evolves into {{p|Sneasler}} instead of {{p|Weavile}}.

===Evolution===
Sneasel evolves into {{p|Weavile}}.

{{rf|Hisuian}} Sneasel evolves into {{p|Sneasler}}.

==Trivia==
[[File:Cats by Kino Takahashi.png|right|thumb|Sneasel in Galarian Meowth merchandise by [[Kino Takahashi]].]]
* Sneasel is one of fourteen {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that one could collect [[foreign Pokédex entries]] for in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}.
* Sneasel can be seen as a counterpart to {{p|Gligar}}. Both of them have two [[type]]s which cause them to have a 4× [[Type#Type effectiveness|weakness]] to another type, have the same [[base stat]] total, evolve into Pokémon that were introduced in [[Generation IV]] ({{p|Weavile}} and {{p|Gliscor}}), and do so by leveling up at night while holding an [[Evolution item]] whose name includes the word ''razor'' ([[Razor Claw]] and [[Razor Fang]]). Additionally, both are available as [[Shadow Pokémon]] in [[Pokémon Colosseum]], and found in [[The Under Subway]].
* Sneasel has the highest base {{stat|Speed}} stat of all Pokémon that are capable of evolving.
* Despite Sneasel being possibly based on the ''kamaitachi'', which has the same Japanese name as {{m|Razor Wind}}, Sneasel cannot learn this move.
* Sneasel is the only Pokémon to have a [[gender difference]] in both its standard form and [[regional form]].
** Furthermore, Hisuan Sneasel is the only regional form to have gender differences.
* Sneasel is the only dual-type Pokémon to have a dual-type regional form that doesn't share either of its types.
* Sneasel is the only Pokémon with a Hisuian form to have its original form available in any capacity in [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]].
* {{rf|Hisuian}} Sneasel and {{p|Sneasler|its Evolution}} were designed by [[Hitoshi Ariga]].<ref>[https://twitter.com/ariga_megamix/status/1493600999038021632 Tweet by ありがひとし/ArigaHitoshi (@ariga_megamix).] Posted on February 16, 2022.</ref>
* In [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]]'s internal code, Hisuian Sneasel's Hidden Ability is {{a|Poison Touch}} instead of {{a|Pickpocket}}.
* Sneasel has been depicted with three variants in color. In {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}, Sneasel had a bronze coloration while its tail feathers were a dark cyan; while in [[Pokémon Stadium 2]], [[Pokémon Colosseum]] and [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]], Sneasel had a light purple body. The third color variant is its current bluish black color which has been consistently depicted in the main series games from {{game|Crystal}} onwards.
* Johtonian Sneasel and its evolved form, Weavile, are the only {{DL|List of Pokémon by color|black}} {{type|Ice}} Pokémon.

===Origin===
Sneasel's design appears to be based on a cross between a ''{{wp|kamaitachi}}'' and a {{wp|cat}}. More specifically, its feline aspect may have been inspired by {{wp|cat-sìth}}, black cat fae often depicted in {{wp|swashbuckler|swashbuckling}} {{wp|Puss in Boots}} fashion in Japanese media. This may also play on 構太刀 ''kamae tachi'' ("stance sword"), thought to be the origin of ''kamaitachi'', with the Japanese-flavored fairy's sword swapped for ''kamaitachi'' claws.

Hisuian Sneasel might be based on versions of the ''kamaitachi'' that are said to inflict diseases on those who encounter it instead of cuts, which could explain its Poison type. One of these version is called ''yama-misaki'', spirits of people who had accidental deaths that can be found deep into the mountains and in some versions are associated with cliffs, reflecting Hisuian Sneasel's usual habitat.

====Name origin====
Sneasel may be a combination of ''sneaky'' and ''weasel''. It may also derive from ''sneeze'', an action associated with having a cold or being cold, or ''sneesl'' (Scots for ''to begin to rain or snow''), both in reference to its Ice type.

Nyula may be a combination of 潜入 ''sennyū'' (sneaking), にゅー ''nyu'' (cat's purr), 鼬 ''yū'' (alternate reading of ''itachi'', weasel), and 拉 ''ra'' (to carry off). It may also involve 野良 ''nora'' (stray or feral).

'''Qwilfish''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ハリーセン''' ''Harysen'') is a dual-type {{2t|Water|Poison}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation II]].

In [[Hisui]], Qwilfish has a dual-type {{2t|Dark|Poison}} [[regional form]]. Hisuian Qwilfish evolves into {{p|Overqwil}} when [[level]]ed up while knowing {{m|Barb Barrage}}. [[Johto]]nian Qwilfish is not known to evolve into or from any other Pokémon.

In the modern day, Hisuian Qwilfish can be found in [[Blueberry Academy]]'s [[Terarium]].

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

==Biology==
[[File:QwilfishShiningLegends21.jpg|thumb|150px|left|Qwilfish inflating its body]]
Qwilfish is a {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Sea Pokémon|sea dwelling}} {{wp|fish|piscine}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with a spherical body and a flat, paddle-shaped tail. The upper half of its body is dark teal and the lower half is light greenish-yellow. Its tail is tall and thin with a dark teal outline, light greenish-yellow inside, and two dark teal dots in the center that resemble the Japanese character ハ ''Ha''. Its eyes are even with its body and are always seen slanted angrily. Below its eyes are its puffy pink lips. All around its body are sharp, conical spikes, which evolved from scales over time.

In order to attack, Qwilfish drinks over 2.6 gallons (10 litres) of water to inflate its body. It then uses the water pressure to shoot poisonous quills at its foe, which can cause fainting. Qwilfish is briefly left defenseless shortly after firing its quills; this is believed by some expert fishers to be the opportune moment to catch this Pokémon. Due to its round body, Qwilfish is not a great swimmer, and when filled with water it is even harder for it to swim. When Qwilfish faces a larger opponent, it will inflate its body to match its size as close as it can. If it is startled while inflated, it will spit out all its water, propelling itself away.

Qwilfish, Hisuian Qwilfish, and the latter's evolved form, {{p|Overqwil}}, are the [[signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Barb Barrage}}.
{{left clear}}

===Forms===
Qwilfish has a [[regional form]]: {{rf|Hisuian}} Qwilfish.

In [[Hisui]], its upper half is black, while its lower half is pale yellow. Its body is covered in spikes; the spikes on its upper body have dark purple tips, except for the two spikes on its forehead, which are also smaller in size. Hisuian Qwilfish can spray poison from these spines. There are crescent purple lines underneath Hisuian Qwilfish's eyes, and its lips are also colored purple. Its flat tail has a black outline with a light yellow inside, and a black pattern that resembles the lowercase letter "q".

Hisuian Qwilfish is despised by the fishermen of the Hisui region, due to its poison wreaking havoc in the seas it lives in. Its poisonous spikes are thicker and shorter than Qwilfish from other regions. Getting jabbed by Hisuian Qwilfish's poison will make a person feel pain and misery for three days and three nights. This form of Qwilfish absorbs poison from the food it consumes such as toxic minerals. The purple coloration on its body serves as evidence of its potent poison. In the present day, Hisuian Qwilfish and its Evolution are known to be found offshore in cold parts of the world and in Blueberry Academy, located somewhere in [[Unova]]'s ocean, specifically in the [[Terarium]]'s [[Polar Biome]]. It has also been seen inside [[Hyperspace Lumiose]].

===Evolution===
[[Hisuian form|Hisuian]] Qwilfish evolves into {{p|Overqwil}}. Johtonian Qwilfish cannot evolve.

==Trivia==
* Qwilfish shares its {{pkmn|category}} with {{p|Igglybuff}}, {{p|Jigglypuff}}, {{p|Wigglytuff}}, and {{p|Drifloon}}. They are all known as the Balloon Pokémon.
* Qwilfish can be seen as a parallel to {{p|Remoraid}}. Both of them are {{type|Water}} {{cat|Generation II Pokémon}}. Qwilfish is exclusive to {{game3|FireRed and LeafGreen|FireRed|s}}, while Remoraid is exclusive to {{game3|FireRed and LeafGreen|LeafGreen|s}}, with both Pokémon found in the same locations in their respective versions, and both being swarm Pokémon in [[Generation II]] and {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}.
* A [[Media:Capsule Monsters Papyo.jpg|pre-alpha sketch]] of an [[List of unused Pokémon and character designs|unused Pokémon]] depicts a Pokémon with the same Pokédex number as Qwilfish.
* Qwilfish and {{p|Overqwil|its Hisuian evolved form}} are the only {{type|Poison}} {{DL|List of Pokémon by shape|Pokémon with fins}}, and the only Poison-type Pokémon in the {{egg3|Water 2}}.
* According to several {{tc|Team Plasma Grunt}}s, [[Hugh]]'s hairstyle resembles a Qwilfish.
* Hisuian Qwilfish and its evolved form were first hinted in {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}} before their official reveal in {{g|Legends: Arceus}}, where they were mentioned in a [[Sinnoh myths#The Sea's Legend|book]] in the [[Canalave Library]] where Overqwil is referred to as "a Qwilfish with huge spikes".
* Hisuian Qwilfish is the first [[Hisuian form]] that can be caught outside of [[Hisui]] (excluding [[Poké Portal News]] event [[Tera Raid Battle]]s).
** Hisuian Qwilfish and {{rf|Galarian}} {{p|Slowpoke}} are the only [[Regional form]]s that can be caught in all [[Generation IX]] games (excluding [[Poké Portal News]] event [[Mass outbreak]]s).
* Qwilfish is the only Pokémon with a name beginning with the letter "Q" that is not followed by a "U" like most words in the English language.
**It is also one of only two Pokémon to have a "Q" in its name that is not followed by a "U", the other being its {{rf|Hisuian}} evolved form Overqwil.
* Hisuian Qwilfish and its evolved form are the only dual-type {{2t|Poison|Dark}} Pokémon to have Dark as their primary type instead of their secondary type.
* The [[Pokémon Gold and Silver Spaceworld '97 demo]] has an early design of Qwilfish named プクー ''Pukū'', whose name may be a corruption of 河豚 ''{{wp|fugu}}'' ({{wp|pufferfish}}). It was a pure Water type and would evolve into シビレフグ ''Shibirefugu'' at level 18.

===Origin===
Qwilfish seems to be based on {{wp|Tetraodontidae|pufferfish}} or {{wp|porcupinefish}}, which inflate their bodies when threatened and are covered in {{wp|spine}}s. Many species are incredibly toxic when ingested, which explains Qwilfish's {{t|Poison}} type. However, its ability to directly inject venom through its spines is similar to a {{wp|lionfish}}. It is also reminiscent of a {{wp|naval mine}} due to its round body and ability to explode.

Hisuian Qwilfish's {{t|Dark}} type and poisonous diet may be based on the illegalisation of the {{wp|fugu}} dish due to its toxicity. The law was put in place a few times in Japanese history, including the 1800s (which {{g|Legends: Arceus}} [[Pokémon world in relation to the real world#Sinnoh|appears to be based on]]), but the illegal fugu market continued and thrived for so long that the governing {{wp|shogun}}ate became incapable of enforcing the law. Hisuian Qwilfish and Overqwil appear to be rarer in recent times, which could be a reference to porcupinefish being threatened due to overfishing for the fugu dish.

====Name origin====
Qwilfish may be a combination of ''[[Wiktionary:quill#English|quill]]'' (the noun, meaning porcupine or hedgehog spikes, or the verb, meaning to pierce with quills) and ''{{wp|fish}}''.

Harysen may be derived from [[Wiktionary:針千本|針千本]] ''harisenbon'' ({{wp|porcupinefish}}). The Japanese name for porcupinefish, 針千本 (''harisenbon''), can be interpreted literally as "one thousand sewing needles".

'''Electrode''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''マルマイン''' ''Marumine'') is an {{type|Electric}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation I]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Voltorb}} starting at [[level]] 30.

In [[Hisui]], Electrode has an {{2t|Electric|Grass}} [[regional form]]. It [[Evolution|evolves]] from Hisuian {{p|Voltorb}} when exposed to a [[Leaf Stone]].

==Biology==
Electrode is a round {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} resembling an upside-down {{i|Poké Ball}} with a smile mouth, black slit eyes, prominent black eyebrows that are usually depicted with an angry expression and eyes. Its top half is white, while its lower half is red. The [[Bandai Pokémon Carddass Cards]] depict Electrode as hollow.

Electrode tends to live in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Urban Pokémon|power plants}} where fresh electricity is being generated, which it consumes. As a result, it often causes blackouts. The more electric energy Electrode consumes, the faster it moves. When full of stored electricity, it has been known to drift with the wind.

Electrode explodes in response to even the smallest stimulation, simply to entertain itself, or because it has taken in too much electricity. However, unlike Voltorb, Electrode can control its explosive ability at will. This unpredictable and explosive nature has earned it the nickname of "Bomb Ball". Because of its appearance, many Trainers try to pick Electrode up, mistaking it for an item. As seen in the anime, if Electrode explode to defend themselves, this also results in them using up their energy and becoming extremely worn out.

===Forms===
Electrode has a [[regional form]]: {{rf|Hisuian}} Electrode.

In [[Hisui]], Electrode also resembles an upside-down Poké Ball, specifically one of its time period, with a wooden upper half and a glossy, dark red lower half with a hole in the bottom. Its eyes are large black holes inside a debossed pattern, resembling an angry glare. Its mouth is in a constant frown, unlike its Kantonian counterpart's smile, giving the impression that it is drawn on. Interestingly, its surface texture is similar to that of an [[Apricorn]].

When enraged, Hisuian Electrode can unleash an electric current equivalent to about twenty lightning bolts. It can absorb and store chlorophyll energy along with electricity. Electrode can release this energy through the hole on its lower half. It can also climb up trees.

A special Hisuian Electrode is worshipped by the Hisui people due to it being descended from one of the ten ancient Pokémon who received a blessing from {{p|Arceus}} despite the fact that Poké Balls had not yet been invented. In particular, it is one of the [[Noble Pokémon]] who resides in the [[Coronet Highlands]], watched over by the [[Warden]] [[Melli]].

Hisuian Electrode is the [[signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Chloroblast}}.

===Evolution===
Electrode evolves from {{p|Voltorb}}.

{{rf|Hisuian}} Electrode evolves from Hisuian Voltorb.

==Other appearances==
[[File:Electrode SSBB.png|250px|thumb|An Electrode in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]]]
===[[Super Smash Bros.]]/[[Super Smash Bros. Melee|Melee]]/[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl|Brawl]]/[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U|3DS and Wii U]]/[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate|Ultimate]]===
In the original Smash Bros. Electrode would appear from the doorway atop the [[Silph Co.]] building on the [[Saffron City (stage)|Saffron City stage]] and use {{m|Explosion}}, damaging any players near it. In the sequels, it would be released randomly from a {{i|Poké Ball}}. When released, Electrode will pause for a few seconds before using Explosion. It can be picked up and thrown, though this is risky as Electrode will hurt everyone near it, including the player who threw the Poké Ball. Electrode functions in ''Brawl'' in much the same way as in ''Melee''; however, sometimes, it will fail to explode. Other times, Electrode will merely pretend to fail to explode, then explode suddenly after a few seconds. Electrode appears in the fourth and fifth installments, retaining its behavior from ''Brawl''.

====Melee trophy information====
''Electrode, an electric Ball Pokémon, is the evolved form of Voltorb. It has the tendency to explode with even the slightest provocation, which has earned it the nickname "Wrecking Ball." Electrode is the quickest Pokémon found to date, and its distinctive white-over-red coloring is the opposite of Voltorb's.''

====Brawl trophy information====
''"A Ball Pokémon. The more electricity stored in its body, the quicker it moves. One danger of storing that much electricity is the slightest stimulus may cause it to explode. Moves it specializes in are {{m|Selfdestruct}} and {{m|Explosion}}. Its love of electricity cause it to gather near power plants."''

====3DS/Wii U trophy information====
[[File:Electrode 3DS trophy SSB4.png|thumb|150px|Electrode trophy in Super Smash Bros. for 3DS]]
'''NA''': ''An Electric-type Pokémon that stores energy inside its body. Nicknamed "the Bomb Ball" by some, the slightest shock risks setting this Pokémon off. If you're feeling brave, you can throw Electrode at your foes before it detonates. Handle with care, or it'll go off in your hands instead! ''

'''PAL''': ''This Electric-type Pokémon stores huge amounts of electricity in its body. It is also known as the Bomb Ball due to the fact that even the lightest touch can make it blow up. Sometimes it takes a little while for Electrode to use its Explosion attack, so you might have enough time to throw it in someone else's direction! Feeling brave?''

===[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]===
Electrode appears as a {{sbw|Spirit}}.

==Trivia==
* In [[Generation I]] and [[Generation II]], Electrode is the only {{Type|Electric}} Pokémon to not learn a single Electric move in its level up learnset.
* In [[Pokémon Red and Blue Versions|Red, Blue]], [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions|FireRed, and LeafGreen]], {{player}}s can obtain an Electrode at a level as low as 3 by catching a {{p|Pikachu}} in [[Viridian Forest]], evolving it, and [[In-game trade|trading]] it to an old man at [[Cinnabar Island]]'s [[Cinnabar Lab|Pokémon Lab]].
* Electrode has a [[Oh Electrode|short song]] dedicated to it, sung by [[Suzukisan]].
* Electrode is the only non-playable Pokémon to use the same move in [[Pokkén Tournament]] and the [[Super Smash Bros.]] series.
* The author of [[Pokémon Adventures]], [[Hidenori Kusaka]], uses Electrode to represent himself in the volume's comment boxes.
* Hisuian Electrode has the highest base {{stat|Speed}} stat of all {{type|Grass}} Pokémon.
* Hisuian Electrode, {{p|Eelektross}}, {{p|Breloom}}, and {{p|Camerupt}} are the only Pokémon not compatible with {{g|Sword and Shield}} that are capable of [[Dynamax]]ing, being able to do so in {{g|Masters EX}}.
** Hisuian Electrode is the first Pokémon introduced after {{g|Sword and Shield}} capable of [[Dynamax]]ing in any Pokémon media.

===Origin===
Electrode seems to be based on the concept of a living {{i|Poké Ball}}, and is often mistaken for one. As such, its design may be inspired by ''{{wp|gashapon}}'' capsules, which often consist of a white half and a vibrant colored half. The idea of Voltorb and Electrode being mistaken for the standard Poké Balls that represent items is similar to a {{wp|Mimic (Dungeons & Dragons)|mimic}}, a monster archetype commonly found in RPGs. Its {{Shiny}} coloration is possibly based on a [[Great Ball]].

Electrode may also be based on a {{wp|ball lightning}}, as hinted by its spherical shape, type, explosive behavior, and tendency to drift on wind. Based on its Japanese name and its explosive tendencies, Electrode may have some connection to {{wp|land mine}}s or {{wp|bomb}}s.

The expressions on both Electrode and Voltorb may be a personification of the positive and negative charges associated with {{wp|electric charge}}. For their original forms, Voltorb has a negative angry look, where Electrode has a positive happy look. The polarity of these expressions, or charges, are reversed for their Hisuian forms.

Hisuian Electrode and its {{t|Grass}} typing may be based on the fact that Poké Balls were originally made from [[Apricorn]]s, which may be based on {{wp|Castanea crenata|Japanese chestnut}} or {{wp|acorn}}s. It may also be based on traditional Japanese fireworks: they are spherical in shape, with shells made of {{wp|papier-mâché}}, charges inside that are often made with rice husks, and a hole where the fuse goes. This can be seen in the [[TCG]] and its statue at the [[Temple of Sinnoh]], which all depict it emitting blasts from a hole on its bottom to launch itself. Its {{Shiny}} coloration may be based on an {{hi|Ultra Ball}} or a {{hi|Heavy Ball}}.

====Name origin====
Electrode may be a portmanteau of ''electric'' and ''explode'' or ''node'' (a computer or program), as well as a pun on ''{{wp|electrode}}'', a device through which electrical currents pass (although such a device is usually in the shape of a rod).

Marumine may be a combination of 丸 ''maru'' (circle) and ''{{wp|mine}}'', as in {{wp|landmine}}.

'''Voltorb''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ビリリダマ''' ''Biriridama'') is an {{type|Electric}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation I]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Electrode}} starting at [[level]] 30.

In [[Hisui]], Voltorb has a dual-type {{2t|Electric|Grass}} [[regional form]]. It evolves into Hisuian Electrode when exposed to a [[Leaf Stone]].

==Biology==
Voltorb is a spherical {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that resembles a buttonless {{i|Poké Ball}} with eyes. The top half is red, while the bottom half is white. Because of its resemblance to Poké Balls, it is thought that it was created when one was exposed to an energy pulse. This is supported by the fact that its components do not occur naturally.

Voltorb is generally found in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Urban Pokémon|power plants}} and other areas with electric fields where it feeds. It was first discovered in the plant where modern Poké Balls were invented. It has a volatile temperament and will explode if agitated or bumped by the slightest contact. Due to being constantly mistaken as a [[Poké Ball]], Voltorb has reportedly zapped many humans as a result.

===Forms===
Voltorb has a [[regional form]]: {{rf|Hisuian}} Voltorb.

Hisuian Voltorb, like its modern counterpart, resemble the [[Apricorn]]-made {{OBP|Poké Ball|Hisui}}s of the time period — both appear to be made of a grainy, woodlike substance, with a glossy surface and a hole on top. On the inside, Hisuian Voltorb's body contains numerous seeds, but it has been impossible to examine its interior due to it being pitch-black.<ref name=LAsite/> Hisuian Voltorb has a distinctive red wooden unibrow. Despite its resemblance to a Poké Ball, it can be inferred that Hisuian Voltorb's existence predates the device's invention, as evidenced by the fact that the ancient hero of Hisui legend had an {{p|Electrode}} companion which would become the ancestor of the region's [[Noble Pokémon|noble]] Electrode.

Hisuian Voltorb can store electric currents in its belly, which it discharges all at once from its hole. Unlike Kantonian Voltorb, Hisuian Voltorb have friendly and excitable temperaments, which leads them to cluster around people, causing them to be a nuisance when they discharge. It is known to let out a great, uproarious laugh whenever it discharges. There are stories of people temporarily plugging the holes of Hisuian Voltorb to prevent them from discharging before removing them from their settlements.<ref name=LAsite>[https://legends.arceus.pokemon.com/en-us/pokemon/voltorb/ Hisuian Voltorb | Pokémon Legends: Arceus Official Website]</ref> It has been seen in [[Paldea]] during the rare [[Poké Portal News|Mass outbreak]] events.

===Evolution===
Voltorb evolves into {{p|Electrode}}.

{{rf|Hisuian}} Voltorb evolves into Hisuian Electrode.

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

==In the TFG==
One Voltorb figure has been released.

* {{TFG|Next Quest}}: {{TFG ID|Next Quest|Voltorb|23}}

==Trivia==
* In the English and European versions of {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, a game called [[Voltorb Flip]] is introduced in place of [[slot machine]]s. The game is similar to Minesweeper and largely focuses on flipping over cards to multiply the coins currently earned. Some cards, however, have Voltorb on them which will cause the {{player}} to lose {{OBP|Coin|Game Corner}}s when flipped.
* Voltorb has the lowest base {{stat|Attack}} stat of all {{type|Electric}} Pokémon.
* According to [[Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver: Prima's Official Strategy Guide]], Voltorb is the only Pokémon recommended for the [[Pokéathlon|Disc Catch]] that is not a {{t|Flying}} type.
* In {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}, Voltorb will explode if the player walks too close to it and the Voltorb notices them.
* The Shadow Voltorb in {{g|XD: Gale of Darkness}} is [[List of permanently missable Pokémon|missable]] if players lose to Miror B in the first battle when he has the Voltorb in the Cave [[Poké Spot]], as there is not a flag to make it respawn unlike other Shadow Pokémon. This will lock the player out of catching Voltorb, and as snagging Shadow {{p|Dragonite}} requires snagging every other [[Shadow Pokémon]], the player will be locked out of Dragonite too.
* Unlike their [[Kanto]]nian counterpart, an [[Evolution stone]] is required for Hisuian Voltorb to [[Evolution|evolve]] rather than by leveling up. It shares this trait with {{p|Sandshrew}}.

===Origin===
Voltorb seems to be based upon the concept of a living {{i|Poké Ball}}, and is often mistaken for one. As such, its design may be inspired by ''{{wp|gashapon}}'' capsules, which often consists of a white half and a vibrant colored half. The idea of Voltorb and Electrode being mistaken for the standard Poké Balls that represent items is similar to a {{wp|Mimic (Dungeons & Dragons)|mimic}}, a monster archetype commonly found in RPGs. Its {{Shiny}} coloration is possibly based on a [[Great Ball]].

Voltorb may also be based on a {{wp|ball lightning}}, as hinted by its spherical shape, type, and explosive behavior. Given its tendency to explode and shape, it also shares similarities with common depictions of {{wp|bomb}}s. It may also be based on ''{{wp|tsukumogami}}'', where items acquire a spirit and come to life on their 100th birthday, which might be referenced by Voltorb's [[National Pokédex]] number, which is 100.

The expression on both Voltorb and Electrode may be a personification of the positive and negative charges associated with {{wp|electric charge}}. For their Kantonian forms, Voltorb has a negative angry look, where Electrode has a positive happy look. The polarity of these expressions, or charges, are reversed for their Hisuian forms.

Hisuian Voltorb and its {{t|Grass}} typing may be based on the fact that Poké Balls were originally made from [[Apricorn]]s, which may be based on {{wp|Castanea crenata|Japanese chestnut}} or {{wp|acorn}}s. It may also be based on traditional Japanese fireworks: they are spherical in shape, with shells made of {{wp|papier-mâché}}, charges inside that are often made with rice husks, and a hole where the fuse goes. The fact that it has numerous seeds inside its body may also be inspired by a {{wp|seed ball}} (also known as a seed bomb), which are made by rolling various seeds with clay, forming a ball. The seed ball is then planted or thrown into the ground where vegetation is sparse, so that the seeds will germinate and grow. Hisuian Voltorb's Shiny coloration may be based on an {{hi|Ultra Ball}} or a {{hi|Heavy Ball}}.

====Name origin====
Voltorb may be a combination of ''volt'' and ''orb''.

Biriridama may be a combination of ビリビリ ''biribiri'' (sound of electric shock) and 玉 ''tama'' (sphere).

Acetone15: Changed the sentence in the Base stats section to match the formatting of form names used in table and section headers and other pages (e.g. Darmanitan instead of regular Darmanitan), moved the sentence above the Standard Mode table, and removed the now unnecessary Galarian Darmanitan (Standard Mode) form header.

'''Darmanitan''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ヒヒダルマ''' ''Hihidaruma'') is a {{type|Fire}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation V]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Darumaka}} starting at [[level]] 35.

In [[Galar]], Darmanitan has an {{type|Ice}} [[regional form]]: '''{{rf|Galarian}} Darmanitan'''. It evolves from Galarian Darumaka when exposed to an [[Ice Stone]].

If Darmanitan's [[Ability]] is {{a|Zen Mode}} and its [[HP]] drops to half or below, it [[#Form data|changes]] from its '''Standard Mode''' into its '''Zen Mode'''. [[Unova]]n Zen Mode Darmanitan is dual-[[type]] {{2t|Fire|Psychic}}, while Galarian Zen Mode Darmanitan is dual-type {{2t|Ice|Fire}}.

==Biology==
In its normal state, Darmanitan is a mainly red, squat ape-like {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. It has long, bushy flame eyebrows that curl at the base, and round, black-ringed eyes. The upper portion of its tan face is separated from the lower portion by a diagonal red stripe, and its large mouth sports spiked teeth. All these facial features give the impression of a manic or angered expression. Its head has no discernible neck to distinguish it from the rest of the body and its rounded back, which culminates in a stubby tail. It has long arms with spiky hair fringes on the wrists and large tan hands, with a similar arrangement for its hind limbs. Additionally, Darmanitan has three tan ovals on its underside and two wavy lines on its back.

In its normal state, it has {{a|Sheer Force|immense physical strength}}; a single punch can destroy a dump truck. Its power level is proportional to the temperature of its internal fire, which can be as hot as 2,500 °F (1,400 °C). Darmanitan has a long lifespan, as one specimen in its Zen Mode was recorded living for 2,500 years as it was sleeping in the [[Relic Castle]].

Darmanitan is the [[Signature Ability|only known Pokémon]] that can have {{a|Zen Mode}} as an [[Ability]].

===Forms===
Both [[Unova]]n and {{rf|Galarian}} Darmanitan can change from their normal state, called Standard Mode, into Zen Mode.

====Zen Mode====
During Zen Mode, which is accessed by Darmanitan with the hidden Ability {{a|Zen Mode}}, its red fur and tan skin changes blue as it bears the resemblance of a Daruma doll. Its eyes turn blank, and its limbs fuse with its body, rendering them immobile. It also only has three toes, as opposed to normal Darmanitan having five.

In this state, it is hard as a rock. As it is rendered immobile, it enters a meditative trance to sharpen its mind, using it as strength emotionally and spiritually to battle and to perform everyday activities such as gather and eat food.

====Galarian Darmanitan====
Darmanitan has a [[regional form]]: Galarian Darmanitan.

Galarian Darmanitan has blue skin and a thicker coat than Unovan Darmanitan. Its fur is white, and is adorned with several ice gems; on its face, its fur makes the shape of a beard. Atop its head is a giant snowball that resembles an afro, which is also dotted with several ice crystals.

Galarian Darmanitan's biology is the result of it adapting to the cold of the [[Galar]] region. It develops an organ that produces cold air, while its flame sac becomes dormant. This also causes its nature to change, from a belligerent personality to a gentle and timid one. It becomes so timid that it will pretend to be a snowman when it senses humans nearby. It uses the snowball on its head to store food and other things it finds, preserving them for later. When in battle, it freezes its giant snowball in order to release powerful headbutts.<ref name=SwShsite/>

Galarian Darmanitan is the only known Pokémon that can have {{a|Gorilla Tactics}} as an Ability.

=====Galarian Darmanitan (Zen Mode)=====
Galarian Zen Mode Darmanitan resembles a snowman. Its false "head", located above its actual head, has glowing red-yellow eyes, a warped smile, and a flame sticking out at the center as its "carrot nose". Its face sports blank white eyes surrounded by a red mask-like pattern, and an angry grin showing razor-sharp teeth. Its hands become larger and orange, resembling mittens, and it has additional glowing red-yellow spots on its belly.

When Galarian Darmanitan enters Zen Mode, its dormant flame sac reignites back to life. This causes its disposition to change into a maddened rampaging state. It hops around in battle and unleashes fire everywhere without any care for its surroundings, nor if its body starts to melt, making it a threat to others and itself. It will continue rampaging indiscriminately until its rage is completely gone.<ref name=SwShsite>[https://swordshield.pokemon.com/en-us/pokemon-galar-region/darmanitan/ Galarian Darmanitan | Pokémon Sword and Pokémon Shield]</ref>

===Form data===
If 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 will only be in Zen Mode while in battle.

Standard Mode Darmanitan is {{type|Fire}} and red in color, while Zen Mode Darmanitan is {{2t|Fire|Psychic}}-type and blue in color. Galarian Darmanitan's Standard Mode is {{type|Ice}} and white in color with blue accents, while Galarian Darmanitan's Zen Mode is {{2t|Ice|Fire}}-type and white in color with red accents.

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.

===Origin===
Darmanitan is based on a {{wp|Daruma doll}}, and its {{t|Fire}} typing is inspired by the traditional {{wp|Daruma doll#Daruma burning|Daruma burning ceremony}}. The Daruma dolls burned at the ceremony that Darmanitan's designer attended happened to resemble {{wp|gorilla}}s, which inspired its gorilla-like appearance.<ref name=ND204>''Nintendo Dream'' Vol. 204, April 2011 ([https://web.archive.org/web/20110704155314/http://shellspider.blog101.fc2.com/blog-entry-502.html Shellspider's blog (Japanese)], [http://lavacutcontent.com/ken-sugimori-nintendo-dream-2/ Translation by Dr. Lava])</ref> It may also be based on the adage of the {{wp|three wise monkeys}} — "See no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil" — as Darmanitan in their Zen Mode have their eyes become blank, their mouths shut tightly and their ears covered, sitting patiently in contrast to their bold posture in their Standard Mode. Its Zen Mode may be based on {{wp|Bodhidharma}}, achieving enlightenment. The varying presence of pupils between its Standard and Zen Modes reflects the practice of painting in the {{wp|Daruma doll#Eyes|eyes of a Daruma doll}}, and their symbolic value in relation to goal fulfillment.

{{rf|Galarian}} Darmanitan may be a mixture of a {{wp|snowman}}, known as 雪だるま ''yukidaruma'' in Japanese, and the {{wp|yeti}} (also known as the abominable snowman). In its Zen Mode, it resembles a traditional snowman with a {{wp|firecracker}} instead of the common carrot nose. Furthermore, where its original form draws its origin from {{wp|Buddhism}}, Galarian Darmanitan's design may be influenced by other {{wp|Dharmic religions}}, with its "beard" and "headpiece" bearing resemblance to those of {{wp|Hindu}} and {{wp|Sikh}} elders. Its {{type|Fire}} may be a reference to {{wp|atavism}}, the reappearance of an ancestral trait after having been lost through evolutionary change in previous generations.

====Name origin====
Darmanitan may be a combination of ''{{wp|Daruma doll|Dharma}}'' (alternate spelling of ''daruma'') and ''{{wp|orangutan}}''.

Hihidaruma may be a combination of 火 ''hi'' (fire), 緋 ''hi'' (scarlet), 狒々 ''hihi'' (baboon), ''Daruma'', and 火達磨 ''hidaruma'' (the state of being on fire).

'''Darumaka''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ダルマッカ''' ''Darumakka'') is a {{type|Fire}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation V]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Darmanitan}} starting at [[level]] 35.

In [[Galar]], Darumaka has an {{type|Ice}} [[regional form]]. It evolves into Galarian Darmanitan when exposed to an [[Ice Stone]].

==Biology==
[[File:Darumaka sleeping.png|thumb|left|250px|Darumaka asleep]]
Darumaka is a round, red {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with short arms and legs and a stubby tail. It has an orange face and curly yellow eyebrows. It has three yellow ovals on its abdomen and a curvy yellow line on its back. Its hands and feet are orange with three digits each.

Darumaka has a flame inside its body. While this flame is burning, Darumaka is very active. It cannot calm down in this state, and thus becomes uncontrollable. As the flame shrinks, it falls asleep; at rest, its internal temperature is about 1,100 °F (600 °C). It tucks in its arms and legs when it rests; during that time, it slightly sways. While it is sleeping, it cannot be tipped over no matter how much it is pushed or pulled, like a {{wp|Tumbler toy|tumbler doll}}, which it resembles in this state. Darumaka is well known as a symbol of good luck. It is also known to have very warm [[Pokémon food#Pokémon droppings|droppings]], which ancient people put in their clothes to keep themselves warm. It prefers to live in a desert environment.

===Forms===
Darumaka has a [[regional form]]: Galarian Darumaka.

{{rf|Galarian}} Darumaka's snow-white coat is thicker than that of Unovan Darumaka. It has a pair of turquoise ice crystals in place of its eyebrows. Instead of oval-shaped markings, a pair of diamond-shaped ice crystals adorn its chest like buttons. Its face, hands, and feet are blue rather than orange. Unlike its Unovan counterpart, Galarian Darumaka has a timid frown instead of a mischievous smile.

Seismic shift in the [[Galar]] region long ago caused the warm climate to cool, and Darumaka in this region have adapted to this cooling. The fire that burned within their bodies went out, leaving an organ that produces cold air instead. The colder Galarian Darumaka gets, the more energetic it becomes. They can focus their internal energy to breathe out cold air in the form of snow, which they use to make snowballs for ammo in playful snowball fights with each other.<ref>[https://swordshield.pokemon.com/en-us/pokemon-galar-region/darumaka/ Galarian Darumaka | Official Website | Pokémon Sword and Pokémon Shield]</ref> Galarian Darumaka enjoys eating {{Berries}} produced by {{p|Snover}}. This leads it to prey on Snover, often causing it to be driven off by {{p|Abomasnow}}.

===Evolution===
Darumaka evolves into {{p|Darmanitan}}.

{{rf|Galarian}} Darumaka evolves into {{rf|Galarian}} Darmanitan.

==Trivia==
* Darumaka has the lowest {{stat|Special Attack}} base stat of all {{type|Fire}} Pokémon.
* In their debut games, {{game|Black and White|s}}, Darumaka lived in a [[Desert Resort|desert]] with constant [[Sandstorm (weather condition)|sandstorms]], despite having no [[type]]-based protection against sandstorm damage. In ''[[BW056|The Lonely Deino!]]'', Darumaka are shown to burrow under the sand, which may intend to clarify how they protect themselves in the sandstorm.

===Origin===
Darumaka is based on a {{wp|Daruma doll}}, and its {{t|Fire}} type is inspired by the traditional {{wp|Daruma doll#Daruma burning|Daruma burning ceremony}}.<ref name=ND204>''Nintendo Dream'' Vol. 204, April 2011 ([https://web.archive.org/web/20110704155314/http://shellspider.blog101.fc2.com/blog-entry-502.html Shellspider's blog (Japanese)], [http://lavacutcontent.com/ken-sugimori-nintendo-dream-2/ Translation by Dr. Lava])</ref> When it is resting, it resembles the {{wp|Roly-poly toy|type of Daruma doll that does not tip over}}.

{{rf|Galarian}} Darumaka may be based on a mixture of a {{wp|snowman}}, called 雪だるま ''yuki-daruma'' in Japanese, and a {{wp|yeti}}.

====Name origin====
Darumaka and Darumakka seem to be a combination of ''{{wp|Daruma doll|Daruma}}'' and 真赤 ''makka'' (crimson) or a corruption of ''{{wp|macaque}}''.

'''Linoone''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''マッスグマ''' ''Massuguma'') is a {{type|Normal}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation III]].

It [[Evolution|evolve]]s from {{p|Zigzagoon}} starting at [[level]] 20.

In [[Galar]], Linoone has a dual-type {{2t|Dark|Normal}} [[regional form]]. It evolves from Galarian Zigzagoon starting at level 20 and evolves into {{p|Obstagoon}} when leveled up starting at level 35 during the [[Time-based Evolution|night]]. [[Hoenn]]ian Linoone is not known to evolve into any other Pokémon.

==Biology==
Linoone is a slender-bodied, quadrupedal {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. Most of its fur is colored tan, but it has several brown stripes. One long stripe stretches the length of its body before ending in an arrowhead shape on its forehead. There are additional stripes on each side of its bushy tail and on its cheeks. It has sharp, elongated claws and small pointed teeth. It has small, tuft-like ears, long cheek fur, and blue eyes.

Linoone can run up to {{tt|60 miles per hour|100 kilometers per hour}}, but it can only run in a straight line, and has to stop before it can make a turn. Because of this behavior, it often fails to catch prey, and struggles on roads that are curving or winding. When it sees prey underwater in ponds, it leaps in and uses its razor-sharp claws to catch and take it down. Linoone's fur is strong and supple, and the shed hairs are used to make high-quality shaving brushes. As shown in the {{aniseries|AG}} episode ''[[AG112|Showdown at Linoone]]'', Linoone has an attraction to anything round and will grab any orb-shaped object it sees if given the chance. It often carries a snatched object in its expandable cheek pouches and deposits it in any of a number of secret stashes it keeps on its territory. Linoone tends to live in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Grassland Pokémon|grasslands}}.

===Forms===
Linoone has a [[regional form]]: Galarian Linoone.

Galarian Linoone has a black-and-white color scheme, with longer fur on its ears. Around its red eyes are patterned stripes shaped like a shooting star. It has longer claws with gray fur surrounding the front feet, and it has a long red tongue that sticks out of its mouth.

Galarian Linoone are known to be rash and fearless, preferring to recklessly challenge opponents that are stronger than itself. Linoone is known to use its long tongue to taunt opponents. Once the foe is fully enraged, Linoone will hurl itself at them, tackling them by force. These traits make Galarian Linoone very popular among unhappy and angry youths in [[Galar]], who have nowhere to take out their anger and frustrations. By charging at up to 60 miles per hour, it can deliver powerful {{m|Tackle}}s and {{m|Headbutt}}s with enough destructive force to even knock away a car. Linoone can be thrown off balance should it miss, however.<ref>[https://swordshield.pokemon.com/en-us/pokemon-galar-region/linoone/ Galarian Linoone | Official Website | Pokémon Sword and Pokémon Shield]</ref> The harsh environments in the Galar region, along with the fierce competition among the species, allows Linoone's survival instincts to improve, leading to the ability to evolve into {{p|Obstagoon}}.<ref>[https://swordshield.pokemon.com/en-us/pokemon-galar-region/obstagoon/ Obstagoon | Official Website | Pokémon Sword and Pokémon Shield]</ref>

==In animation==
===Main series===
[[File:Solana Linoone.png|thumb|250px|Linoone in {{aniseries|AG}}]]
====Major appearances====
Linoone made its animated series debut in ''[[AG112|Showdown at Linoone]]'', under the ownership of [[Kimmy Shoney]] and the [[nickname]] of Tokin. It had developed a bad habit of stealing anything in sight.

In ''[[AG155|The Green Guardian]]'', [[Solana]] used her [[Capture Styler]] on three Linoone so they could slash vines created by a {{p|Celebi}}.

In the original timeline in ''[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]'', a {{m|Hypnosis|hypnotized}} [[Damos]] commanded his five Linoone to attack {{OBP|Arceus|M12}} with {{m|Shock Wave}}. When Ash and {{ashfr}} traveled to the past to prevent this, [[Marcus]], the one responsible for hypnotizing Damos, managed to use the Linoone again to attack Arceus.

In ''[[XY046|The Clumsy Crier Quiets the Chaos!]]'', a {{tc|Pokémon Breeder}}'s Linoone was playing with a {{p|Bidoof}} and a {{p|Teddiursa}} when they were all attacked by a rampaging {{p|Salamence}}. Linoone was then taken to a [[Pokémon Center]] and healed with the help of [[Nurse Joy]] and her {{TP|Nurse Joy|Wigglytuff}}.

====Minor appearances====
Multiple Linoone debuted in ''[[M06|Jirachi: Wish Maker]]'', as residents of [[Forina]].

In ''[[DP005|Gettin' Twiggy With It!]]'', a Linoone was nursed back to health by [[Clara]].

A Linoone appeared in ''[[DP088|Camping It Up!]]''.

In ''[[M13|Zoroark: Master of Illusions]]'', a Linoone was living in [[Crown City]]. It worked with several other Pokémon in surrounding {{OBP|Zorua|M13}} in the park in order to attack him as retribution for what {{OBP|Zoroark|M13}} did to the city. Before a fight broke out, the Zigzagoon, along with the other Pokémon, were calmed down by {{OBP|Celebi|M13}}.

A Linoone appeared in ''[[XY002|Lumiose City Pursuit!]]'', ''[[XY041|Foggy Pokémon Orienteering!]]'', and ''[[XY137|Battling With a Clean Slate!]]''; and in flashbacks in ''[[XYS01|Mega Evolution Special I]]'' and ''[[XY068|Garchomp's Mega Bond!]]'' at {{an|Professor Sycamore}}'s lab.

In ''[[M17|Diancie and the Cocoon of Destruction]]'', multiple Linoone were living in [[Allearth Forest]].

In ''[[JN007|Serving Up the Flute Cup!]]'', a {{pkmn|Trainer}}'s Linoone competed in the [[Battle Frontier Flute Cup]], only to be defeated by {{AP|Pikachu}}.

====Pokédex entries====
{{Animedexheader|Hoenn}}
{{Animedexbody|AG112|Linoone|Ash's Pokédex|Linoone, the Rushing Pokémon. Linoone is the evolved form of {{p|Zigzagoon}}. It can run at speeds over {{tt|60 miles per hour|100 kilometers per hour}}, but does not handle curves well.}}

===Pokémon Generations===
[[File:Linoone PG.png|thumb|250px|Linoone in [[Pokémon Generations]]]]

[[File:Team Yell Linoone Adventures.png|thumb|200px|Galarian Linoone in Pokémon Adventures]]
===Ash & Pikachu===
Linoone appeared in ''[[SP35|A 'Thank You' That Transcends Time]]''.

===Movie adaptations===
A Linoone appeared in the {{ma|Diancie and the Cocoon of Destruction|manga adaptation}} of ''[[M17|Diancie and the Cocoon of Destruction]]'' as a resident of [[Allearth Forest]].

===Pokémon Adventures===
In ''[[PS306|Pinsir Me, I Must Be Dreaming]]'', {{adv|Emerald}} used a Linoone holding a [[Choice Band]] to breeze through the {{gdis|Battle Factory|III}}. Because he was a rental Pokémon he had just received, his extra-powerful {{m|Frustration}} went a long way before he challenged [[Noland]].

The Battle Factory rented a Linoone, which was stolen by [[Guile Hideout]] in ''[[PS315|Skirting Around Surskit I]]''.

A {{rf|Galarian}} Linoone debuted under the ownership of a {{tc|Team Yell Grunt}} in ''[[PASS04|Zap!! A Rising Beam of Light]]''.

{{main|Linoone (TCG)}}

==In the TFG==
One Linoone figure has been released.
* {{TFG|Groundbreakers}}: {{TFG ID|Groundbreakers|Linoone|19}}

==Trivia==
* Linoone is the only {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that can use the {{DL|Lookalike Item|Mix Elixir}} in [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky]]. This is a pun on its Japanese name as both contain the Japanese word for straight.
* Linoone has the same [[List of Pokémon by Hoenn Pokédex number|Hoenn Pokédex]] and [[List of Pokémon by Central Kalos Pokédex number|Central Kalos Pokédex]] numbers.

* Linoone, along with its pre-[[Evolution]] {{p|Zigzagoon}}, are the only Generation III Pokémon to have a [[regional form]].
* Galarian Zigzagoon and Galarian Linoone are the first regional variants to become [[Shadow Pokémon (GO)|Shadow Pokémon]] in [[Pokémon GO]] before their original forms.

===Origin===
Linoone's appearance may be a cross between the {{wp|European badger|European}} or {{wp|Japanese badger}} and a member of the {{wp|weasel}} and/or {{wp|ferret}} family, or it may possibly be based on the {{wp|ferret-badger}} or {{wp|striped polecat}}. It also shares the same color scheme of ''{{wp|raccoon dog|tanuki}}''. The word ''tanuki'' is used for both badgers and raccoon dogs in Japan, depending on the region. This may be the inspiration behind its mixture of traits, having similarities to both species. Its stripes slightly resemble flames and lightning, which may be a reference to {{wp|Auto Racing|race cars}}, who typically use these patterns on their vehicles for show. Linoone may also be based on the legendary {{wp|Kamaitachi}}, which is usually depicted as lightning-fast weasels who wield razor-sharp claws which tear into their victims. There is a arrow symbol on its head which alludes to its tendecy to run in a straight line. Linoone's obsession with round objects may be inspired by the {{wp|Ramidreju}}, a long, weasel-like creature who has a desire for gold; or by the ''tanuki'''s association with gold.


Galarian Linoone appears to be more explicitly based on European badgers. Taking its evolved form {{p|Obstagoon}} under consideration, Galarian Linoone's color scheme, pointed tongue, and star marking around its eyes may also be inspired by {{wp|Glam rock}} bands.

Linoone's evolutionary line shares a common theme of movement where {{p|Zigzagoon}} moves in a zigzag pattern, Linoone moves in a straight line, and {{p|Obstagoon}} blocks the way by obstructing it. This may be a reference to badgers' behaviour of habitually following the same foraging routes, leading to the formation of trodden paths.

====Name origin====
Linoone may be a combination of ''line'' (referring to its fur pattern and unusual habits) and ''{{wp|raccoon}}''.

Massuguma may be a combination of まっすぐ ''massugu'' (straight, as in a line) and アライグマ ''araiguma'' ({{wp|raccoon}}) or 穴熊 ''anaguma'' ({{wp|badger}}). ''Guma'' (from 熊 ''kuma'', "bear") as a suffix is often used for mammals that resemble bears.

Acetone15: Changed the sentence in the Base stats section to match the formatting of form names used in table and section headers and other pages (e.g. Zigzagoon instead of Hoennian Zigzagoon), moved the sentence above the table, and removed the now unnecessary form headers.

'''Zigzagoon''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ジグザグマ''' ''Jiguzaguma'') is a {{type|Normal}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation III]].

It [[Evolution|evolve]]s into {{p|Linoone}} starting at [[level]] 20.

In [[Galar]], Zigzagoon has a dual-type {{2t|Dark|Normal}} [[regional form]]. It evolves into Galarian Linoone starting at level 20, which evolves into {{p|Obstagoon}} when leveled up starting at level 35 during the [[Time-based Evolution|night]]. Hoennian Linoone is not known to evolve into any other Pokémon.

==Biology==
Zigzagoon is a quadrupedal mammalian {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} resembling a raccoon, raccoon dog, or badger, with bristly, zigzag-patterned fur. It has stripes formed by alternating layers of cream and brown fur. It has a brown head with spiky ears and a black nose. A black mask-like pattern surrounds its brown eyes. The upper half of its mouth is jagged, and when it is open, there are two pointed teeth in its lower jaw. Its feet have three claws and pink paw pads. Its fore feet are cream-colored, but the hind feet are brown. Its brush tail is spiky and bristly.

Zigzagoon is abundantly curious, as it wanders restlessly back and forth while rubbing its nose to the ground in search of something. It always moves in a zigzag fashion, and leaves behind distinct zigzag footprints as it runs. It rubs its bristly back hair against trees to mark its territory and plays dead to fool opponents in battle. The Zigzagoon found outside of [[Galar]] are friendlier and calmer compared to their Galarian relatives. Zigzagoon are capable of {{a|Pickup|finding items in the grass or ground}}, including items that were lost. It is found commonly in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Grassland Pokémon|grassy fields}}.

===Forms===
Zigzagoon has a [[regional form]]: [[Galarian form|Galarian]] Zigzagoon.

Zigzagoon native to [[Galar]] generally look similar to its Hoennian counterpart with a few differences, most notably its black-and-white fur. Its red eyes are surrounded by a black spiked mask-like pattern somewhat resembling stars. Its fore feet are black with white claws, while its hind feet are white with black claws. It has a long pink tongue that is constantly hanging outside of its mouth, between its lower teeth. This Galarian form of Zigzagoon is believed to be the earliest, and thus the original, instance of the species.

Much like the Zigzagoon found outside of Galar, Galarian Zigzagoon are known to be constantly on the move and never settling down. It is believed that Galarian Zigzagoon's restless temperament is what originated the zigzag movements observed on both forms of the species. Their known habitat stretches the entirety of Galar, being found in fields, forests, and towns. They enjoy battling to the point where they often attempt to provoke others into fighting them. While this succeeded with other Pokémon, humans instead tend to mistake it as wanting affection, much to the Zigzagoon's frustrations.<ref>[https://swordshield.pokemon.com/en-us/pokemon-galar-region/zigzagoon/ Galarian Zigzagoon | Official Website | Pokémon Sword and Pokémon Shield]</ref>

===Evolution===

==Trivia==
* Zigzagoon is one of the two Pokémon left out of the [[Hoenn Pokérap]]; the other is {{p|Relicanth}}.
* A {{Shiny}} Zigzagoon was distributed to {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}} via an interactive demo to patch the [[Berry glitch]].
** Due to this being available for over three years in North America, Zigzagoon has the honor of having the longest event.
* Zigzagoon has the same [[List of Pokémon by Hoenn Pokédex number|Hoenn Pokédex]] and [[List of Pokémon by Central Kalos Pokédex number|Central Kalos Pokédex]] numbers.
* According to [[Ken Sugimori]] in an interview, Zigzagoon's name was conceived first before its character design was created.<ref name=ND84>''Nintendo Dream'' Volume 84, February/March 2003 ([http://lavacutcontent.com/sugimori-masuda-gen-3-interview/ English translation] written by Jacob Newcomb and commissioned by Dr. Lava)</ref>
* Galarian Zigzagoon and its {{shiny}} form were designed by [[James Turner]].<ref>[https://twitter.com/JamesTurner_42/status/1348881864086478848 Tweet about designing Galarian Zigzagoon]</ref><ref>[https://twitter.com/JamesTurner_42/status/1354718268762824705 Tweet about designing shiny Galarian Zigzagoon]</ref>
* Zigzagoon, along with its Evolution {{p|Linoone}}, are the only Generation III Pokémon to have a [[regional form]].
* Galarian Zigzagoon and Galarian Linoone are the first regional variants to become [[Shadow Pokémon (GO)|Shadow Pokémon]] in {{g|GO}} before their original forms.

===Origin===
Zigzagoon's English and Japanese names, category, and fur pattern suggest it is based on a {{wp|raccoon}}, while its body shape and brown coloration were stated to be inspired by the {{wp|Japanese badger}}<ref name=Pokemon.com>(November 12, 2019). "[https://www.pokemon.com/us/pokemon-news/interview-with-game-freaks-ohmori-and-masuda-on-pokemon-sword-and-pokemon-shield/ Interview with GAME FREAK’s Ohmori and Masuda on ''Pokémon Sword'' and ''Pokémon Shield'']." Pokemon.com</ref> with its fur making a zigzag pattern. It may also be inspired by the {{wp|Japanese raccoon dog}} (''Nyctereutes procyonoides viverrinus''), also known as ''tanuki''. The word ''tanuki'' is used for both badgers and raccoon dogs in Japan, depending on the region. This may be the inspiration behind its mixture of traits, having similarities to both species. Japanese folklore and legend claim that ''tanuki'' are known for {{m|Belly Drum|drumming on their bellies}} with their front paws similar to how Zigzagoon has been known to do. Zigzagoon's body shape and appearance are also similar to certain small dog breeds such as {{wp|Pekingese}} and {{wp|Wheaten Terrier}}s.


Galarian Zigzagoon's fur coloration draws inspiration from the {{wp|European badger}}, which has a black-and-white color scheme unlike its Japanese relative.<ref name=Pokemon.com/> Taking its evolved form {{p|Obstagoon}} under consideration, Galarian Zigzagoon's color scheme, pointed tongue, and star marking around its eyes may also be inspired by {{wp|Glam rock}} bands.

Zigzagoon's evolutionary line shares a common theme of movement where Zigzagoon moves in a zigzag pattern, {{p|Linoone}} moves in a straight line, and {{p|Obstagoon}} blocks the way by obstructing it.

====Name origin====
Zigzagoon may be a combination of ''zigzag'' (referring to its fur pattern and unusual habits) and ''raccoon''.

Jiguzaguma may be a combination of ''zigzag'' and アライグマ ''araiguma'' ({{wp|raccoon}}) or 穴熊 ''anaguma'' ({{wp|badger}}). ''Guma'' (from 熊 ''kuma'', "bear") as a suffix is often used for mammals that resemble bears.

'''Weezing''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''マタドガス''' ''Matadogas'') is a {{type|Poison}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation I]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Koffing}} starting at [[level]] 35.

In [[Galar]], Weezing has a dual-type {{2t|Poison|Fairy}} [[regional form]]. It evolves from Koffing starting at level 35. All Koffing in Galar evolve into this form regardless of their origin.

==Biology==
Weezing is a purple {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} consisting of two spherical heads connected by a thin tube with another sphere in the center. The heads have different sizes and features. The left head is larger and has prominent eyebrows, pointed teeth protruding from its lower jaw, and two flat teeth in its upper jaw. The smaller, right head simply has two pointed teeth, one at each corner of its mouth. The larger head has a cream-colored skull-and-crossbones marking below its face, while the smaller head has a ring marking instead. It is covered with many geyser-like protrusions, which usually expel mustard-colored gases. Weezing is said to form when poisonous gases pool and two {{p|Koffing}} fuse over many years. Very rarely, two Koffing can become a Weezing in a short time span because of a sudden mutation. Triplet Weezing have been discovered, although they are extremely rare.

Each of Weezing's heads contains a different toxin. It mixes its gases by inflating one head and deflating the other. When its gases mix, Weezing becomes more toxic and putrid. Weezing can hover in midair, presumably due to gases lighter than air, as is the case for Koffing. Despite their stench and poison, Weezing's gases can be used to make top-grade perfume by diluting them to the highest level.

Weezing lives in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Urban Pokémon|urban areas}}. It seeks a dirty, unkempt house and nests there. At night, when the people in the house are asleep, it will go through the trash. Weezing feeds on the dust, microorganisms, and especially gases emitted by garbage and toxic waste. Weezing's body expands and smells worse upon inhaling poisonous gases. The Kantonian Weezing used to be common in [[Galar]] and created more potent toxins than their Galarian relatives.

Weezing and its pre-evolved form are the [[Signature Ability|only known Pokémon]] that can have {{a|Neutralizing Gas}} as an [[Ability]].

===Forms===
[[File:Galarian Weezing absorbing pollutant.png|thumb|left|250px|Galarian Weezing absorbing pollutants from a factory and expelling clean air]]

Weezing has a [[regional form]]: {{rf|Galarian}} Weezing.

In the [[Galar]] [[region]], its appearance has changed due to absorbing polluted air from factories. It has a gray body with the skull, crossbones, and ring patterns changed to the color yellow. Both heads have a hat-like tube located on top of them that constantly releases purified air. Five puffs of green poison gas clouds can be seen floating around it. The gas clouds also partly cover its faces: the larger head has a mustache-like cloud on its upper lip, while the smaller head has clouds on its face in the shape of eyebrows and a beard.

Galarian Weezing consumes particles from polluted air and expels clean air instead of droppings. The toxins within Galarian Weezing's body are accumulated into poison gas clouds that leak and drift around it. The gas is its best weapon in battle, being potent enough to stun and immobilize an opponent with just a whiff.<ref>[https://swordshield.pokemon.com/en-us/pokemon-galar-region/weezing/ Galarian Weezing | Official Website | Pokémon Sword and Pokémon Shield]</ref> Galarian Weezing preys on {{p|Trubbish}} for the fumes it produces.

Galarian Weezing is also the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Strange Steam}}. Additionally, in [[Generation IX]], Galarian Weezing is the [[Signature Ability|only known Pokémon]] that can have {{a|Misty Surge}} as an [[Ability]].

* {{TFG|Next Quest}}: {{TFG ID|Next Quest|Weezing|24}}

==Other appearances==
===[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]===
When released from a {{i|Poké Ball}}, Weezing will hover in place and emit {{m|Poison Gas}} that juggles any opponent who comes near it, essentially serving the function of its pre-Evolution, {{p|Koffing}}, from [[Super Smash Bros.]]

Weezing also makes an appearance as a float in the [[Poké Floats]] stage. It appears as {{p|Psyduck}} and {{p|Chikorita}} leave. Once {{p|Slowpoke}} appears, it will slowly deflate and move to the top of the screen.

====Trophy information====
''"The evolved form of Koffing, Weezing is basically a pair of Koffing fused together. They tend to float in the air and emit gas or noxious smoke from the outgrowths that cover their bodies. As strange as it may seem, diluting Weezing emissions as much as possible creates one of the most exquisite perfumes known to man."''

===[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]===
Weezing appears as a {{sbw|Spirit}}.

==Trivia==
* In the [[Pokémon Red and Green beta|Pokémon Red and Blue beta]], Weezing was originally known as "La", representing {{wp|Los Angeles}}' polluted air.
* Weezing is the only {{type|Poison}} Pokémon that {{DL|List of Pokémon by shape|Pokémon consisting of multiple bodies|consists of multiple bodies}}.
** Galarian Weezing is the only {{type|Fairy}} Pokémon that consists of multiple bodies.
* In certain instances in the {{pkmn|games}}, such as summary pages and [[Pokémon Contest]]s, a Pokémon's sprite is horizontally flipped, unless its body is asymmetrical. However, Weezing's sprite is flipped in all instances despite its asymmetrical body.
* The {{3v2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}} [[Pokédex entry|Pokédex entries]] for Weezing claim triplet forms have been discovered, but this variant has not been shown in any [[Pokémon]] media.
* Weezing shares similar traits to {{p|Muk}} and {{p|Garbodor}}. All three Pokémon are pure {{type|Poison}} Pokémon with a single pre-evolved form, roughly the same base stat totals and [[Evolution]] levels, and appear to be based on a different kind of pollution; Weezing being air pollution.
* Galarian Weezing is tied with {{p|Xerneas}} as the [[List of Pokémon by height|tallest]] {{type|Fairy}} Pokémon (excluding {{p|Arceus}}'s Fairy-type form).
* Although neither form of Weezing appears in {{g|Legends: Arceus}} or {{g|Legends: Z-A}}, the smoke tower on the rooftop of the [[Galaxy Hall]] resembles a Galarian Weezing, and there is a statue of a regular Weezing outside the [[Rust Syndicate Office]].
* Weezing and its pre-evolved form are the only Pokémon whose {{Abilities}} changed in [[Generation VIII]]. In previous [[generation]]s, their only Ability was {{a|Levitate}}.
* Galarian Weezing can learn more moves that cause it to faint than any other Pokémon ({{m|Self-Destruct}}, {{m|Explosion}}, {{m|Memento}}, and {{m|Misty Explosion}}).
* Galarian Weezing was the first [[Galarian form]] to be officially revealed.
* Galarian Weezing has the shortest duration of time out of all Pokémon between being made available in a mainline game and being made available in {{g|GO}}. It was made available in Pokémon GO in Raid Battles on November 16, 2019, just one day after the release of {{g|Sword and Shield}}.

===Origin===
Considering its looks, its ability to float, and its tendency to explode, Weezing may have been based upon a floating {{wp|naval mine}} or living meteorite. It is also based on smog and other forms of air pollution. It may also be based on the imagined fear that heavy pollution, caused by the leakage and/or improper disposal of toxic and/or radioactive waste, may result in the creation of new and undesirable life forms. Much like Koffing, the symbol under Weezing's larger face resembles the {{wp|skull and crossbones}}, a hazard symbol for poison. The three orbs connected by stems that constitute its body resemble a {{wp|molecule}}. Weezing's fused heads may also be based on {{wp|conjoined twins}} and the effects of pollution-induced birth defects.

Weezing's prominent eyebrow ridges and large bottom teeth evoke the unappealing appearance of mythical creatures like {{wp|troll}}s or {{wp|ogre}}s, often associated with polluted or unclean environments such as swamps, reinforcing its Poison typing. Its features also resemble those of the Japanese {{wp|oni}}, known for their imposing tusks and fearsome presence.

Galarian Weezing takes inspiration from {{wp|steam engine}}s.<ref>(November 15, 2019). "[https://www.4gamer.net/games/451/G045125/20191112090/ 「ポケットモンスターソード・シールド」インタビュー。「最強」をテーマに，子供たちが楽しめるものを目指して]." ''4Gamer.net''.</ref> Its appearance in particular seems to be based on a stereotypical {{wp|Victorian era}} British gentleman wearing a {{wp|Top hat|chimney hat}}, combined with actual {{wp|chimney}}s. Both its smog-based "facial hair" and its {{pkmn|Sword and Shield|Shield}} Pokédex entry, which describes Weezing taking the form as a result of heavy air pollution, likely draw reference from {{wp|Pea soup fog|the heavy smog}} that afflicted London during the Victorian era. Its ability to clean the air of pollutants may be based on air scrubbers, referring to the fact that they expel clean air as referenced in its {{pkmn|Sword and Shield|Sword}} Pokédex entry. The way Galarian Weezing feeds, absorbing polluted air and then releasing it through the chimney-like tubes on top of their heads as purified air, may have been based on the feeding method of {{wp|Porifera|sponges}}, which are animals that feed through filtration. Water enters the sponge's body bringing food particles (such as microorganisms) and, after being filtered by the animal, is eliminated through the {{wp|osculum}}, a hole in the free end of the animal. Its design may also draw inspiration from nuclear cooling towers, referring to the clouds that they make being steam and not smoke as evidenced by its signature move {{m|Strange Steam}}. Additionally, its {{t|Fairy}} type and appearance may be a reference to {{wp|leprechaun}}s. Galarian Weezing's {{Shiny}} form may be based on {{wp|sepia tone}} photography.

Galarian Weezing's resemblance to Victorian era British noblemen, along with its [[Ability]] {{a|Neutralizing Gas}}, may be a play on {{wp|noble gas}}es, which are gaseous elements known for being highly unreactive and are typically used to prevent unwanted reactions from occuring.

====Name origin====
Weezing may be a corruption of ''wheezing'' (producing a whistling sound while breathing with difficulty).

Matadogas may come from 又 ''mata'' (again) and 毒ガス ''doku-gasu'' (poison gas). It may also be derived from マスタードガス ''masutādogasu'' ({{wp|mustard gas}}).

Acetone15: Changed the sentence in the Base stats section to match the formatting of form names used in table and section headers and other pages (e.g. Slowpoke instead of Kantonian Slowpoke), moved the sentence above the table, and removed the now unnecessary form headers.

'''Slowpoke''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ヤドン''' ''Yadon'') is a dual-type {{2t|Water|Psychic}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation I]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Slowbro}} starting at [[level]] 37 or {{p|Slowking}} when [[Trade Evolution|traded]] while holding a [[King's Rock]].

In [[Galar]], Slowpoke has a pure {{type|Psychic}} [[regional form]], introduced in {{g|Sword and Shield}}'s 1.1.0 patch. It evolves into {{rf|Galarian}} Slowbro when exposed to a [[Galarica Cuff]] or Galarian Slowking when exposed to a [[Galarica Wreath]]. These Slowpoke can also be found in [[Blueberry Academy]]'s [[Terarium]].

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

Slowpoke and its evolved forms are associated with {{p|Shellder}}.

==Biology==
Slowpoke is a pink {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that resembles a cross between a {{wp|salamander}} and a {{wp|hippopotamus}}. It has vacant eyes that never seem focused, curled ears, and a rounded, tan muzzle. It has four legs, each of which ends in a single white claw. Its long, tapering tail has a white tip. This tail drips a sweet, sappy substance that is attractive to many species of fish. Slowpoke uses the tail as a fishing lure. The tail often breaks off, but it will grow back. In [[Detective Pikachu Returns]], it is shown to grow back very quickly. [[Slowpoke Tail|Slowpoke tails]] are considered a delicacy and commonly used as a cooking ingredient: in [[Alola]], they are often dried and used in home-cooked stews, while in [[Galar]], [[Smoke-Poke Tail|they are smoked and packaged]] as a [[curry]] ingredient. Slowpoke is also known to dive underwater to hunt, but is often itself caught instead.

Slowpoke has a notoriously dim intellect and often forgets what it was doing. It takes a long time to respond to outside stimuli. For example, it can take up to five seconds to process pain and can take an entire day to notice when its tail has been bitten. Slowpoke is commonly found at the {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Water's-edge Pokémon|water's edge}}. In some places, it is believed that Slowpoke's yawn causes rain. This Pokémon is worshipped in those areas. Its vacant expression is said to help some people relax, whilst causing irritation to others. It is posited that those who lead hectic lives are most likely to become relaxed. As mentioned in [[Pokémon Sleep]], researchers have debated if Slowpoke is either awake or asleep while it stands around doing nothing.<ref>[[Sleep style|Sleep Style Dex]]</ref>

===Forms===
Slowpoke has a regional form: {{rf|Galarian}} Slowpoke.

{{rf|Galarian}} Slowpoke's body is a slightly different shade of pink, and it has gained yellow colorations on its forehead and tail. This tail is always down and is said to have a spicy taste.

Galarian Slowpoke's diet consists of eating spices. Much like its Kantonian counterpart, Galarian Slowpoke is known to relax on seashores and riverbanks without a care in the world. However, sometimes it will get a very sharp look in its eyes as if it is about to think of something tremendous, although it will quickly forget and return to its normal expression afterward.

It is believed that this behavior, along with the spicy taste of its tail, is a result of Galarica particles built up from its diet of native [[Galarica Twig|Galarica]] seeds affecting its brain and body.<ref>[https://swordshield.pokemon.com/en-us/expansionpass/pokemon/slowpoke/ Galarian Slowpoke Discovered | Official Website | Pokémon Sword and Pokémon Shield]</ref> This diet also affects Slowpoke's two different Evolutions, including the {{p|Shellder}} that attaches to it, which is induced by either the [[Galarica Cuff]] or the [[Galarica Wreath]]. Due to the scent of the spice emanating from its tail, the Galarian Slowpoke often has difficulties while fishing. They can also be found in the [[Coastal Biome]] of [[Blueberry Academy]]'s [[Terarium]], where Galar's regional life is simulated.

===Evolution===
Slowpoke evolves into either {{p|Slowbro}} or {{p|Slowking}}.

{{rf|Galarian}} Slowpoke evolves into either Galarian Slowbro or Galarian Slowking.

===Evolution data===
====Slowpoke====
Slowpoke [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Slowbro}} starting at [[level]] 37 or {{p|Slowking}} when [[Trade Evolution|traded]] while holding a [[King's Rock]]. Slowpoke cannot evolve into Slowking in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} before the player obtains the [[National Pokédex]], as its Evolution will be interrupted. Slowpoke also cannot evolve into Slowking in {{LGPE}}, as Slowking is not present in those games.

==Trivia==
[[File:Bandai Aerodactyl card.jpg|150px|thumb|[[Ken Sugimori]] artwork showing Slowpoke's striped underside]]
* In the [[Generation I]] games, Slowpoke, {{p|Rhyhorn}}, and {{p|Magikarp}} are the only Pokémon to have their [[List of Pokémon icons in Generations I and II|icon]] changed upon [[Evolution]].
* In the [[Pokémon Red and Green beta|Pokémon Red and Blue beta]], Slowpoke was originally known as "Slowmo".
* The Japanese and international versions of {{game|Gold and Silver|s|Pokémon Silver}} have different sprites for Slowpoke, with the Japanese versions having a fatter and striped belly similar to that which {{p|Slowbro}} and {{p|Slowking}} sport. It is unknown why this was changed. However, its striped underside is still partially visible in all of its Gold and {{v2|Crystal}} sprites. This striped belly does not appear to be a true error, as it has been seen in artwork by [[Ken Sugimori]], though it is from Generation I.
* Like {{p|Mantyke}}, Slowpoke [[Evolution|evolves]] when another Pokémon is attached to it; however, this does not occur in the [[core series]] games, but has been shown in {{spin-off games}} such as {{g|Snap}}, as well as in {{aniseries|PTS}}. Proximity-based Evolution, such as requiring Mantyke and {{p|Remoraid}} to be in the same party, were not introduced until [[Generation IV]].
* Slowpoke is the only Pokémon whose multiple Evolutions have different total [[EV yield]]s: Slowbro has an EV yield of 2, while Slowking has an EV yield of 3.
* Despite numerous [[Pokédex entry|Pokédex entries]] stating its lack of response to a bite on its tail, in Pokémon Snap it is shown to quickly react to Shellder's bite.
* The Pokémon Company posted a Slowpoke-themed reggae music video onto their Japanese channel titled どないやねんヤドン (What's Going on, Yadon?). The song was later dubbed and posted to the English-language channel under the title of [[Slowpoke Song]].
* Though the species has appeared repeatedly, no Slowpoke has ever been seen using an attack in the animated series.
* Slowpoke has the lowest base {{stat|Speed}} stat of all {{type|Psychic}} Pokémon.
** It also has the lowest base Speed stat of all Pokémon introduced in Generation I.
* Slowpoke has the fewest move differences between [[regional form]]s, having almost identical learnsets with only two differences. The [[Galarian form]] learns {{m|Acid}} instead of {{m|Water Gun}} at level 6 and can learn [[TR81]], {{m|Foul Play}}. However, in [[Generation IX]], both forms are able to learn [[TM062]] Foul Play, resulting in there only being one difference between their learnsets.
* Slowpoke is the only Pokémon with a regional form with a branched Evolution.
** It is also the only Pokémon to not only not gain a new [[type]] in its regional form, but also lose one type without changing the other.
* When Galarian Slowpoke was first released, it was affected by the [[Eviolite]] despite being unable to evolve at the time (possibly because its Evolutions were still programmed in or planned).
* Galarian Slowpoke is the only Pokémon with a branched Evolution where both evolved forms share identical type combinations with each other, but not their pre-evolved form.
* Unlike most regional forms, Galarian Slowpoke has a different cry from its regular form.
* Slowpoke, its Galarian form, and their evolved forms are the only Psychic-type Pokémon in the {{egg3|Monster}}.
* Galarian Slowpoke is the first regional form Pokémon to be added in an update after the game's initial release.
* Galarian Slowpoke is the first [[Galarian form]] that can be caught outside of [[Galar]].
** Galarian Slowpoke and {{rf|Hisuian}} {{p|Qwilfish}} are the only [[Regional form]]s that can be caught in all [[Generation IX]] games (excluding [[Poké Portal News]] event [[Mass outbreak]]s).

===Origin===
{{bulbanews|On the Origin of Species: Slowpoke, Slowbro and Slowking}}
Slowpoke's appearance may be based on {{wp|hippopotamus}}es and {{wp|giant salamander}}s. Due to its marine nature, physical appearance, and association with {{wp|shellfish}}, Slowpoke may also be based on a {{wp|sea otter}}. Its ability to grow a new tail if it is cut off may be inspired by the biological processes of {{wp|autotomy}} and {{wp|regeneration (biology)|regeneration}} seen in some species of {{wp|lizard}}s and {{wp|salamander}}s.

====Name origin====
Slowpoke is literally ''[[Wiktionary:slowpoke|slowpoke]]'', an American informal word for someone who is slow.

Yadon may be a combination of [[Wiktionary:宿借り|宿借り]] ''yadokari'' ({{wp|hermit crab|hermit crab}}), [[Wiktionary:宿主#Japanese|宿主]] ''yadonushi'' (parasitic host), and [[Wiktionary:鈍#Japanese|鈍]] ''don'' (dull). It may also be a shortening of ヤドラン ''Yadoran'', {{p|Slowbro}}'s Japanese name.

'''Rapidash''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ギャロップ''' ''Gallop'') is a {{type|Fire}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation I]].

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

In [[Galar]], Rapidash has a dual-type {{2t|Psychic|Fairy}} [[regional form]]. It evolves from Galarian Ponyta starting at [[level]] 40.

==Biology==
[[File:Rapidash OS concept art.png|thumb|left|200px|Concept art of Rapidash from the [[original series]]]]
Rapidash is an {{wp|equine}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with cream-colored fur and a pointed horn on its forehead. It has small, red eyes and triangular ears with reddish interiors. Yellow and reddish-orange flames stream from the back of its head to form a long, flowing mane. A short version of the mane trails down its back to its equally fiery tail. Flames are also present on its {{wp|fetlock}}s. It has slender legs, each with a single black hoof.

Rapidash is a very agile Pokémon. It runs at about 150 mph (240 km/h), chasing everything that moves in hopes of racing it. With incredible acceleration, it reaches its top speed in only ten steps. At full gallop, its hooves barely touch the ground. The faster Rapidash goes, the longer the swaying flames of its mane will become. At an all-out gallop, its blazing mane sparkles, a feature that is said to enhance its beautiful appearance. Rapidash is capable of traveling an entire region like [[Hisui]] within a day and a half. Rapidash lives in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Grassland Pokémon|grasslands}}, but it can also be seen on mountains in [[Pokémon Snap]].

===Forms===
Rapidash has a [[regional form]]: {{rf|Galarian}} Rapidash.

In [[Galar]], Rapidash takes on a new form with a white coat, pale blue eyes, and a long, curly mane and tail colored in streaks of pastel cyan and pink. Its horn is much longer than that of Kantonian Rapidash and is deep violet in color with a spiraling white line running its length. Its fetlocks are adorned with long pink fur that stores psychic energy, which gives it a swift, airy gait, and it has deep violet hooves. When using psychic energy, its horn glows with a yellow aura, and its colored fur glows with seemly flowing color.

Galarian Rapidash lives in forests and is known for being brave and prideful. It can channel its psychic power into a powerful {{m|Psycho Cut}} from its horn that can pierce through sheet metal. Galarian Rapidash and its pre-Evolution are the [[Signature Ability|only known Pokémon]] that can have {{a|Pastel Veil}} as an [[Ability]].

===Evolution===
Rapidash evolves from {{p|Ponyta}}.

{{rf|Galarian}} Rapidash evolves from Galarian Ponyta.

{{-}}

==Trivia==
* In early English-language promotional material for [[Pokémon Red and Green beta|Pokémon Red and Blue]], it was revealed that Rapidash was to keep its romanized Japanese name "Gallop".
* Rapidash is the favorite Pokémon of the [[Kanto]] [[Pokémon Fan Club Chairman]]. When the {{player}} first speaks to him, he goes on about why Rapidash is his favorite Pokémon at length.
* Galarian Rapidash's {{pkmn|category}}, Unique Horn, sounds similar to "unicorn".
* In Galarian Rapidash's [[Pokédex]] entry in {{g|Sword}}, {{m|Psycho Cut}} is not properly capitalized, which was common for moves mentioned in early Pokédex entries but rarely done in later ones.

===Origin===
Rapidash's horn shows it may have been inspired by {{wp|unicorn}}s, but it also displays a lot of resemblance to a regular {{wp|horse}}. Both it and its pre-evolved form may also be based on fiery steeds in mythology, such as those of the Greek god {{wp|Helios}}, {{wp|Skinfaxi and Hrímfaxi|Skinfaxi}} of {{wp|Norse mythology}}, and the horses of the {{wp|Ashvins}} in {{wp|Hindu mythology}}. It may also be based on {{wp|Qilin}}, a legendary Chinese hooved chimerical creature sometimes depicted with parts of their bodies on fire.

Galarian Rapidash appears to be based on more modern depictions of unicorns. Its inclusion in [[Galar]] and the [[Crown Tundra]] may be inspired by the fact that the unicorn is the national animal of {{wp|Scotland}}, which the Crown Tundra is based on. Its signature Ability, {{a|Pastel Veil}}, may be inspired by the belief that unicorn horns can be used to cure diseases and neutralize poisons.

====Name origin====
Rapidash may be a combination of ''rapid'' and ''dash'' (referring to the high speed at which it runs) or ''ash'' (referencing its Fire type).

Gallop is literally ''gallop'', a form of running for hooved animals.

'''Ponyta''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ポニータ''' ''Ponyta'') is a {{type|Fire}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation I]].

It [[Evolution|evolve]]s into {{p|Rapidash}} starting at [[level]] 40.

In [[Galar]], Ponyta has a {{type|Psychic}} [[regional form]]. It evolves into Galarian Rapidash starting at [[level]] 40.

==Biology==
Ponyta is an {{wp|horse|equine}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with cream-colored fur that resembles a foal/filly. It has brown eyes and triangular ears with reddish interiors. Yellow and reddish-orange flames make up its mane and tail. The mane forms a short crest on top of its head and a short strip down its back to its tail. Additional flames are present behind its elbows and knees. The fire appears about an hour after hatching. It has four long legs, each ending in a single, gray hoof. These hooves are said to be ten times harder than diamonds and act as shock absorbers.

Ponyta are relatively lightweight for their size, as they have extraordinary jumping abilities and are capable of leaping tall buildings in a single bound. However, a newborn Ponyta is a weak runner and is actually barely able to stand. It gradually strengthens its legs and becomes faster by chasing after its parents and jumping over grass that grows taller by the day. In the ''[[Pokémon the Series]]'' episode ''[[EP033|The Flame Pokémon-athon!]]'', it is shown that Ponyta can control its flames so that its rider is not burned by them, and Ponyta only does this for those that it has accepted. Ponyta herds tend to live in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Grassland Pokémon|grasslands}}, plains, mountains, or anywhere that they can run freely.

===Forms===
Ponyta has a [[regional form]]: {{rf|Galarian}} Ponyta.

Ponyta has adapted in the forests of the [[Galar]] region, after generations of being exposed to the life energy found within.<ref name=SwShsite/> Galarian Ponyta has chalk-white fur covering most of its body. Instead of flames, its mane, tail and fetlocks are covered in a long, purple-and-blue, fluffy fur. Its eyes are purple with light-blue irises, and it has a small purple-and-white horn on top of its forehead.

Galarian Ponyta can absorb the life energy located in the atmosphere and store it in its mane, which will then become more colorful and potentially release a shining glow if there is a lot of energy to use.<ref name=SwShsite>[https://swordshield.pokemon.com/en-us/pokemon-galar-region/ponyta/ Galarian Ponyta | Official Website | Pokémon Sword and Pokémon Shield]</ref> Galarian Ponyta's horn has healing powers; it can heal any slight wound with a few rubs from its horn. By looking into the eyes of a person, Galarian Ponyta can read the contents of their heart. Should it find any evil, it will promptly go into hiding. As shown in the {{aniseries|JN}} episode ''[[JN055|The Tale of You and Glimwood Tangle!]]'', Galarian Ponyta can send pleas for help in the form of visions to people, even if they're from another region.

Galarian Ponyta and its Evolution are the [[Signature Ability|only known Pokémon]] that can have {{a|Pastel Veil}} as an [[Ability]].

==Trivia==
* In August 2007, employees of [[Game Freak]] put {{DL|List of GTS event Pokémon distributions|Psyduck|several Japanese Psyduck}} up on the [[Global Terminal|Global Trade Station]] for an American Ponyta.
* Ponyta is one of the fourteen Pokémon the player can collect [[foreign Pokédex entries]] for in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}.
* Ponyta's Stadium and FireRed [[Pokédex entry|Pokédex entries]] state that it can jump over the {{wp|Eiffel Tower}} and {{wp|Uluru|Ayers Rock}}, which exist in the [[Pokémon world in relation to the real world#Real-world locations mentioned|real world]]. {{wp|Tokyo Tower}} is referenced in Red and Green, as well as the Japanese versions of Stadium and FireRed.
* Galarian Ponyta's {{pkmn|category}}, Unique Horn, sounds similar to "unicorn".

===Origin===
Ponyta and its evolved form may be based on fiery steeds in mythology, such as those belonging to the Greek god {{wp|Helios}}, {{wp|Skinfaxi and Hrímfaxi|Skinfaxi}} of {{wp|Norse mythology}}, or the horses of the {{wp|Ashvins}} in {{wp|Hindu mythology}}. It may also be based on {{wp|Qilin}}, a legendary Chinese hooved chimerical creature sometimes depicted with parts of their bodies on fire. The fire in its {{Shiny}} coloration refers to blue {{wp|fire}}, which generally indicates a higher temperature than orange fire but may also be caused by certain chemicals burning at a normal temperature. Ponyta and its evolved form may also be based on the fire horse of the Chinese zodiac.

Galarian Ponyta may be based on a {{wp|Shetland pony}} and modern depictions of a {{wp|unicorn}}. The unicorn is the national animal of {{wp|Scotland}}, which is the inspiration for the [[Crown Tundra]], as well as being part of the {{wp|United Kingdom}}, the country that [[Galar]] is based on. Its signature Ability, {{a|Pastel Veil}}, may be inspired by the belief that unicorn horns can be used to cure diseases and neutralize poisons.

====Name origin====
Ponyta may be a combination of ''{{wp|pony}}'' and ''bonita'' (''pretty'' in various Iberian languages).

'''Marowak''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ガラガラ''' ''Garagara'') is a {{type|Ground}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation I]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Cubone}} starting at [[level]] 28.

In [[Alola]], Marowak has a dual-type {{2t|Fire|Ghost}} [[regional form]]. It evolves from Cubone when leveled up at [[Time|night]] starting at level 28. All Cubone in Alola evolve into this form regardless of their origin.

==Biology==
Marowak is a bipedal {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with light brown skin and a cream-colored underside. Two small claws, one on each hand, serve as its thumbs, and one large nail on each foot makes up its toes. It has a short tail with a small spike near the tip. Marowak's head is composed of the skull it once wore as a mask. It can no longer remove the skull, which has become part of its body. The skull has two pointed horns on the back and tiny nostrils on the tip of the snout. Marowak's triangular, brown eyes are also located in the skull.

Marowak is well known for its ferocity with its bone club, which it is said to collect from a hidden, unknown graveyard. Despite its small size, Marowak's body is as {{a|Battle Armor|sturdy as armor}}. Upon [[Evolution]], Marowak has overcome the grief of its mother's passing. Now ferocious and violent, Marowak is an adept combatant that uses the bone it carries as a weapon and a boomerang. Having evolved, it seeks vengeance on its natural enemy {{p|Mandibuzz}}, which prey on Cubone because of its naturally weak and timid demeanor. Marowak has also been recorded pounding on boulders with the bone club it carries to tap out messages to others. It lives in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Mountain Pokémon|mountains}} to test its skills. Rumor has it that somewhere in the world, there is a graveyard only for Marowak. As mentioned in {{g|Sleep}}, Marowak is known to sleep while using its bone similar to a pillow, possibly being at peace.<ref>[[Sleep style|Sleep Style Dex]]</ref> On occasion, it is seen affectionately holding onto the bone while sleeping.

Marowak and its pre-evolved form, {{p|Cubone}}, are the [[signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the moves {{m|Bone Club}} and {{m|Bonemerang}}. Marowak and Cubone are also the only known Pokémon capable of using the [[Thick Club]] item. In Generations {{gen|II}} and {{gen|III}}, {{m|Bone Rush}} was another one of their signature moves.

===Forms===
[[File:Alolan Marowak SM concept art.jpg|thumb|200px|left|Concept art of {{rf|Alolan}} Marowak for {{g|Sun & Moon}}]]
Marowak has a [[regional form]]: {{rf|Alolan}} Marowak.

In the [[Alola]] [[region]], Marowak was faced with an abundance of its natural enemies, {{type|Grass}} Pokémon. This harsh environment led it to bond closely with its friends, which is said to have created a sort of sixth sense and caused it to take a new form. Alolan Marowak's body is black and it has pale gray eyes. There is a dark, flamelike mark on its skull between the eyes. Compared to regular Marowak's squatter, thicker body, Alolan Marowak is relatively thin. White markings resembling shoulder blades, vertebrae, and hip bones are visible on its back. The bone Alolan Marowak uses is longer than the one regular Marowak uses. It customarily mourns its companions by burying them and dancing in mourning.

Alolan Marowak rubs the bone it wields against its forehead to light the ends in a green flame and then twirls the flaming bone. The flame is made from spirit of its deceased mother. The deceased mother has transformed into vengeful spirit that will protect Alolan Marowak. It specializes in an attack where it releases a weak ball of flame from its bone that will relentlessly pursue its foe. Alolans would fear it for a conjurer, due to its rarity and the fearful sight of it dancing with its bone.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20171003202801mp_/http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon/alolan-marowak/Pokémon Sun and Moon site | Alolan Marowak](Archived)</ref> The dance is also used as a way of mourning for its lost allies. Once its flames have spread onto an opponent, they are impossible to put out with water. The cursed flames are known to cause both mental and physical pain.

A special Alolan Marowak in [[Alola]] acts as the [[Totem Pokémon]] for [[Kiawe]]'s {{DL|Island challenge|trial}} in [[Wela Volcano Park]]. This Marowak possesses [[Z-Power]], an energy that originates from [[Ultra Wormhole]]s and takes the form of a golden, flaring aura. The reward for defeating Totem Marowak and completing the trial is a [[Firium Z]].

Alolan Marowak is the only known Pokémon capable of learning the move {{m|Shadow Bone}}.

===Evolution===
Marowak evolves from {{p|Cubone}}.

In [[Alola]], Marowak has a [[regional form]] that evolves from Cubone.

==Trivia==
* In the [[Pokémon Red and Green beta|Pokémon Red and Blue beta]], Marowak was originally known as "Guardia". This is the Spanish word for ''guardian''.
* According to some of Marowak's [[Generation II]] and {{gen|IV}} Pokédex entries, somewhere exists a legendary Marowak graveyard. This is a reference to the {{wp|elephants' graveyard}} of modern myth.
* {{rf|Alolan}} Marowak is the only dual-type Pokémon that shares no types with its pre-Evolution.
* Alolan Marowak is the only {{type|Ghost}} Pokémon in the {{egg3|Monster}}.
* Though Alolan Marowak shares the [[Ability]] {{a|Rock Head}} with Cubone, a Cubone with Rock Head cannot evolve into an Alolan Marowak with the same Ability, as Rock Head is Cubone's first Ability and Alolan Marowak's Hidden Ability.
* In the [[PO02|second episode]] of [[Pokémon Origins]], a mother Marowak is shown protecting her child Cubone from [[Team Rocket]]. Even though the Marowak is alive, the Cubone is still wearing a skull.

===Origin===
Marowak is reptilian in nature and may be loosely based on bipedal {{wp|dinosaur}}s. It also could be based on primitive cultures that wore bones for decoration and used them for weapons. The use of its bone {{m|Bonemerang|as a boomerang and as a weapon at the same time}} seems to be a reference to the {{wp|boomerang}}'s original use for hunting in {{wp|Indigenous Australians}} cultures.

Alolan Marowak's design may draw inspiration from a {{wp|fire performance|fire dancer}} holding a {{wp|fire staff}} or a {{wp|fire knife}}, a Samoan traditional dance implement. It may have also drawn inspiration from the Polynesian concept of {{wp|mana}}, a spiritual essence that exists in all objects and people. It also allows people to imbue their "spirit" into other people and objects for protection or vengeance. In addition, Alolan Marowak may have been inspired by {{wp|Nightmarchers}}, ghosts from {{wp|Hawaiian religion|Hawaiian mythology}} that march at night, are feared by the living, and traditionally are known for carrying torches as they march.

====Name origin====
Marowak may be a combination of ''{{wp|bone marrow}}'' and ''whack''.

Garagara may be derived from ガラガラ ''garagara'' (onomatopoeia for heavy clattering), contrasting with the カラカラ ''karakara'' (onomatopoeia for light clattering) in {{p|Cubone}}'s Japanese name.

'''Muk''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ベトベトン''' ''Betbeton'') is a {{type|Poison}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation I]].

It [[Evolution|evolve]]s from {{p|Grimer}} starting at [[level]] 38.

In [[Alola]], Muk has a dual-type {{2t|Poison|Dark}} [[regional form]]. It evolves from Alolan Grimer starting at level 38. These Muk can also be found in [[Blueberry Academy]]'s [[Terarium]].

==Biology==
[[File:Muk OS concept art.png|thumb|200px|left|Concept art of Muk for {{aniseries|OS}}]]
Muk is a large, sticky, amorphous {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} made of living purple sludge. It has two small eyes with beady black pupils. It also has an enormous mouth with a gray tongue and strands of ooze connecting its top and bottom jaws. While it has no visible legs, it does have two arms with three fingers on each hand. However, it typically keeps one hand tucked in while it extends the other hand.

Muk is a living biohazard, leaking toxins that instantly kill all plant life it touches. Even it being in close proximity to plants will cause them to wilt and die. Extreme caution is advised in avoiding any contact with this Pokémon, as an accidental brush-up can lead to severe sickness. The effects of this Pokémon can leave the landscape barren for three years. It will readily consume nearly any waste or refuse generated by people and Pokémon alike. Muk's body produces a powerful odor that can cause fainting. However, despite the risk Muk's stench contains, some fans of Muk believe its stench is a good thing.

Muk can be found in heavily polluted bodies of water, {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Urban Pokémon|factories and cities}}, where groups can gather to consume trash that people throw away into the streets. However, Muk's population has declined due to recent environmental improvements and extermination efforts. This has led some to believe that it will go extinct at some point; sludge ponds are being built to prevent its extinction.

Prior to [[Generation IV]], Muk and its pre-evolved form, Grimer, were the [[Signature Ability|only known Pokémon]] that could have {{a|Stench}} as an [[Ability]].

===Forms===
[[File:Alolan Muk SM concept art.jpg|thumb|200px|right|Concept art of {{rf|Alolan}} Muk for {{g|Sun and Moon}}]]
Muk has a [[regional form]]: {{rf|Alolan}} Muk.

{{rf|Alolan}} Muk has a more vibrant coloration, consisting of green, pink, and yellow stripes with thin blue bands in between. The green, yellow, and pink stripes are capable of shifting downwards while the blue stays in place. It has various white, crystallized poison shards protruding from parts of its body, especially from its mouth and fingers, giving the impression of claws and fangs. It has blue eyes with a black space behind them and a bright blue tongue. Its vivid coloration is a result of the garbage it eats, which causes chemical changes in its body. Its body contains over a hundred different kinds of poisons. Chemical reactions of different poisons occurring within its body is the source of Alolan Muk's vitality.

Alolan Muk is unexpectedly quiet and friendly. However, if it is not fed trash for a while, its hunger will compel it to destroy its Trainer's furnishings for food. It is thought that it cannot maintain its energy without a constant source of toxins, which causes its voracious appetite. The crystals covering its body have a tendency to break off, which makes it extremely difficult to deal with due to the concentrated toxins contained within them. Unlike Kantonian Muk, Alolan Muk does not produce a foul stench due to its toxins being contained within its body.<ref>[http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-ca/pokemon/alolan-muk/ Pokémon Sun and Moon site | Alolan Muk]</ref> Alolan Muk preys on {{p|Trubbish}} and {{p|Garbodor}}. They can also be found in the [[Coastal Biome]] of [[Blueberry Academy]]'s [[Terarium]], where Alola's island life is simulated.

Alolan Muk and its pre-evolved form, Alolan {{p|Grimer}}, are the [[Signature Ability|only known Pokémon]] that can have {{a|Power of Alchemy}} as an [[Ability]].

===Evolution===
Muk evolves from {{p|Grimer}}.

{{rf|Alolan}} Muk evolves from Alolan Grimer.

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

==Trivia==
* Muk shares similar traits to {{p|Weezing}} and {{p|Garbodor}}. All three {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} are pure {{type|Poison}} Pokémon with a single pre-[[Evolution|evolved]] form, roughly the same base stat totals and Evolution levels, and appear to be based on a different kind of pollution, Muk being water pollution.
* {{rf|Alolan}} Muk and its Alolan pre-evolved form were designed by [[Hitoshi Ariga]].<ref>[https://twitter.com/ariga_megamix/status/804500572967555072 Tweet by ありがひとし/ArigaHitoshi (@ariga_megamix).] Posted on December 2, 2016.</ref>
* Muk is tied with {{p|Mew}} for the shortest English name of all Pokémon.
* Alolan Muk and its pre-evolved form, Alolan {{p|Grimer}}, are the only {{type|Dark}} {{DL|List of Pokémon by shape|Pokémon consisting of a head and arms}}.

===Origin===
Muk appears to be a pile of living {{wp|sludge}}. It may also be based on the imagined fear that heavy pollution, caused by the leakage and/or improper disposal of toxic/radioactive waste, may result in the creation of new and undesirable life. It may also be based on ''Dorotabō'', a one-eyed, three-fingered ''{{wp|yōkai}}'' that rises from the mud of neglected, overgrown rice fields.

Alolan Muk may be based on an {{wp|oil slick}}, particularly the rainbow colors that are produced when a thin layer of oil floats on top of water; this is due to a phenomenon called {{wp|thin-film interference}}. In the real world, oil spills are a major threat to ecosystems in the world's oceans and particularly in Hawaii, which Alola is based on.

====Name origin====
Muk is a corruption of ''muck'' (generally something filthy).

Betbeton may be derived from べとべと ''betobeto'' (sticky) and ''ton''.

Acetone15: Changed the sentence in the Base stats section to match the formatting of form names used in table and section headers and other pages (e.g. Grimer instead of Kantonian Grimer), moved the sentence above the table, and removed the now unnecessary form headers.

'''Grimer''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ベトベター''' ''Betbeter'') is a {{type|Poison}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation I]].

It [[Evolution|evolve]]s into {{p|Muk}} starting at [[level]] 38.

In [[Alola]], Grimer has a dual-type {{2t|Poison|Dark}} [[regional form]]. It evolves into Alolan Muk starting at level 38. These Grimer can also be found in [[Blueberry Academy]]'s [[Terarium]].

==Biology==
[[File:Grimer OS concept art.png|thumb|200px|left|Concept art of Grimer for the [[original series]]]]
Grimer is a slimy, amorphous {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, born from sludge in dirty streams or seabeds that are exposed to lunar radiation. It has two large eyes with beady pupils and a gaping mouth with a gray tongue. While it lacks any visible legs, it does have two arms with three digits on each hand. Its purple sludge body contains a variety of pungent bacteria, which are so potent that it renders soil barren and incapable of supporting plant life. It is constantly oozing a bacteria-rich fluid from all parts of its body. Should it run out of internal germs, Grimer will die. Pieces of it often break off during travel and go on to become new Grimer. When combined with another Grimer, it produces new poisonous compounds.

Due to its lack of a solid form, Grimer is capable of squeezing into any space or crevices with relative ease. It uses this to penetrate sewage pipes and feed off of the filthy wastewater inside. Its population fluctuates based on the availability of waste, which is Grimer's main diet. It can be found in polluted lakes and streams, as well as within {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Urban Pokémon|cities and factories}} where trash and industrial waste can be found. In recent years, thanks to efforts in environmental improvements and a decrease in their food source of waste, Grimer is now facing extinction.

Prior to [[Generation IV]], Grimer and its evolved form, {{p|Muk}}, were the [[Signature Ability|only known Pokémon]] that could have {{a|Stench}} as an [[Ability]].

===Forms===
[[File:Alolan Grimer SM concept art.jpg|thumb|200px|right|Concept art of {{rf|Alolan}} Grimer for {{g|Sun and Moon}}]]
Grimer has a [[regional form]]: {{rf|Alolan}} Grimer.

Grimer was brought to Alola to deal with the excess waste generated by the region's increased population. Alolan Grimer eats solid garbage instead of sludge; this new diet has caused its body composition and form to change. Alolan Grimer's body is green with a line of yellow sludge along its lower lip that extends around behind its head, a bright blue tongue, and small black crescent-shaped spaces behind its eyes. It also has two blunt "teeth" in its upper jaw, which are actually crystallized toxins formed by its diet. It is not known how to break down these toxic crystals, but direct contact with them is known to be dangerous. Lethal poisons leak out of Alolan Grimer's body when these crystals fall out. Because it produces and stores toxins within its body, Alolan Grimer does not produce a foul stench like Kantonian Grimer.<ref>[https://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-ca/pokemon/alolan-muk/ Pokémon Sun and Moon site | Alolan Muk]</ref><ref>[[Samson Oak#Quotes|Samson Oak]]: "''Did you know that Alolan Grimer are in fact not native to the region at all, but instead are what we would call naturalized Pokémon? There is not so much sludge and pollution for Grimer to feed on here in Alola, though, so they have grown to feed on garbage instead. They do not give off a foul stench, thanks to the way they contain any poisons within their bodies, but their crystals are terribly poisonous!''"</ref>

There are usually about one hundred Alolan Grimer found living near waste-disposal sites in Alola, assisting people in dealing with garbage. Alolan Grimer is widely used and a very popular Pokémon used in garbage disposal facilities around the world. Alolan Grimer is perpetually hungry and must constantly eat trash. If no trash is readily available, it will eat other manufactured products instead.<ref>[https://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-ca/pokemon/alolan-grimer/ Pokémon Sun and Moon site | Alolan Grimer]</ref>
In addition to garbage, Alolan Grimer preys on {{p|Trubbish}} and {{p|Garbodor}}; its introduction to Alola caused their populations to decrease in the region. They can also be found in the [[Coastal Biome]] of [[Blueberry Academy]]'s [[Terarium]], where Alola's island life is simulated.

Alolan Grimer and its evolved form, Alolan {{p|Muk}}, are the [[Signature Ability|only known Pokémon]] that can have {{a|Power of Alchemy}} as an [[Ability]].

===Evolution===

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

==Trivia==
* In ''[[EP030|Sparks Fly for Magnemite]]'', Grimer's {{pkmn|animated series}} debut, Grimer had a very strong odor that made most people around the Grimer cover their noses from the smell. However, in later episodes, Grimer's smell has seemingly ceased to exist. This is most obvious in ''[[DP088|Camping It Up!]]'', where {{an|Dawn}} is given a Grimer to train, and it immediately hugs her, but no one complains about any smell.
* Grimer shares similar traits to {{p|Koffing}} and {{p|Trubbish}}. All three Pokémon are pure {{type|Poison}} Pokémon with a single evolved form, roughly the same base stat totals and Evolution levels, and appear to be based on a different kind of pollution; Grimer being water pollution.
* {{rf|Alolan}} Grimer and its Alolan Evolution were designed by [[Hitoshi Ariga]].<ref>[https://twitter.com/ariga_megamix/status/804500572967555072 Tweet by ありがひとし/ArigaHitoshi (@ariga_megamix).] Posted on December 2, 2016.</ref>
* Alolan Grimer had no [[Egg Move]]s in {{g|Scarlet and Violet}} prior to Version 2.0.1. This was presumably unintentional, as it regained them in said version. The same situation occurred with {{p|Luvdisc}} and {{p|Cacnea}}.
* Alolan Grimer and its evolved form, Alolan {{p|Muk}}, are the only {{type|Dark}} {{DL|List of Pokémon by shape|Pokémon consisting of a head and arms}}.

===Origin===
Grimer appears to be a pile of living {{wp|sludge}}, and may be based upon the general concept of living slime in popular culture. It may also be based on the imagined fear that heavy pollution, caused by the leakage and/or improper disposal of toxic/radioactive waste, may result in the creation of new and undesirable life. It may also be based on ''Dorotabō'', a one-eyed, three-fingered ''{{wp|yōkai}}'' that rises from the mud of neglected, overgrown rice fields.

Alolan Grimer may be based on an {{wp|oil slick}}, particularly the rainbow colors that are produced when a thin layer of oil floats on top of water; this is due to a phenomenon called {{wp|thin-film interference}}. In the real world, oil spills are a major threat to ecosystems in the world's oceans and particularly in Hawaii, which Alola is based on. Its reduced size may reference {{wp|insular dwarfism}} or, since its Alolan Form was brought about by human influence, {{wp|dwarfing}}.

====Name origin====
Grimer may be derived from ''grime'' (dirt or filth).

Betbeter may be derived from べとべと ''betobeto'' and べたべた ''betabeta'', both meaning sticky.

'''Golem''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ゴローニャ''' ''Golonya'') is a dual-type {{2t|Rock|Ground}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation I]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Graveler}} when [[Trade Evolution|traded]] or when exposed to a [[Linking Cord]]. It is the final form of {{p|Geodude}}.

In [[Alola]], Golem has a dual-type {{2t|Rock|Electric}} [[regional form]]. It evolves from {{rf|Alolan}} Graveler when traded. It is the final form of Alolan Geodude. These Golem can also be found in [[Blueberry Academy]]'s [[Terarium]].

(Refer to [[#Evolution data|Game data→Evolution data]] for more details.)

==Biology==
Golem is a bipedal tortoise-like {{wp|boulder}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with a spherical body covered by a shell of plated, green rocks. Its body is {{a|Sturdy|so hard}} that even dynamite cannot scratch it. Its head protrudes from the center of the shell. The head has a flat snout with two pointed teeth in the lower jaw and red eyes. It has short arms that have three claws and two legs with feet that have four claws in front and one in back. The head and limbs are light brown.

Golem grows bigger by shedding its skin once a year. The discarded shell immediately hardens when exposed to air, crumbling away and returning to the soil. Farmers are known to collect Golem's shells. Golem's soil is spread across fields to promote crop growth. However, it stops shedding with age and moss grows over its shell. As shown in the [[Bandai Pokémon Carddass Cards]], Golem's shell is hollow, despite it looking like it is not.

As shown in ''[[EP036|The Bridge Bike Gang]]'', Golem can withdraw its head and limbs into its shell and roll at high speeds. It is dangerous when doing this, as it is unable to see and may crash into or run over anything in its path. To prevent it from rolling into the homes of people downhill, grooves are dug into the sides of the mountains to divert the rolling Golem's course. It is seldom seen in the wild, but may rarely be sighted in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Mountain Pokémon|mountainous}} regions. Golem are known to detonate their own body. It uses this explosive force to jump from mountain to mountain. As mentioned in [[Pokémon Sleep]], Golem is known to occasionally sleep upside down.<ref>[[Sleep style|Sleep Style Dex]]</ref> It is believed that Golem rocks itself into a deep slumber, similar to a cradle. However, there's a chance a sleeping Golem may roll into anyone nearby it, hence why it is best to stay clear of Golem while it sleeps.

===Forms===
[[File:Alolan Golem SM concept art.jpg|thumb|200px|right|Concept art of {{rf|Alolan}} Golem for {{g|Sun and Moon}}]]
Golem has a [[regional form]]: {{rf|Alolan}} Golem.

In the [[Alola]] region, Golem has shorter forearms with two claws. The feet have only two claws as well. Its face attracts iron sand, creating the appearance of a mustache, eyebrows, and a large black beard. Jutting out of the top of its body are two large, black rocks with a smaller rock in between, forming the shape of a cannon. On the inner edge of the larger rocks are three golden dots.

The cannon prevents them from easily rolling into a ball like its Kantonian variant. Alolan Golem has a grumpy and stubborn personality. Should anyone make Alolan Golem upset, it will roar with a voice similar to thunder, discharging electricity from its body at the same time. Alolan Golem is capable of firing the small rock by using magnetism. The rock will be electrically charged, creating shocks across the whole area of impact.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20170919102848/http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon/alolan-golem | Alolan Golem (Archived)]</ref> Numbness and fainting can occur with even a glancing blow. If rocks are not available, it will fire nearby {{p|Geodude}} instead. They can also be found in the [[Canyon Biome]] of [[Blueberry Academy]]'s [[Terarium]], where Alola's island life is simulated.

Alolan Golem and its pre-evolved forms are the [[Signature Ability|only known Pokémon]] that can have {{a|Galvanize}} as an [[Ability]].

===Evolution===
Golem evolves from {{p|Graveler}} and is the final form of {{p|Geodude}}.

{{rf|Alolan}} Golem has a dual-type {{2t|Rock|Electric}} [[regional form]]. It evolves from Alolan Graveler and is the final form of Alolan Geodude.

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

==Trivia==
* In {{game2|Red|Blue|Yellow}}, Golem is the only Pokémon that cannot ever be seen without [[Trade|trading]].
** A hint to its existence can be found in the English versions of these games, where an [[Non-player character|NPC]] at the [[Celadon Department Store]] receives his friend's {{p|Graveler}} via trade and mentions it [[Evolution|evolving]]. In the Japanese version, the NPC speaks of his new {{p|Haunter}} evolving into a {{p|Gengar}} instead.
***However, since Golem can be obtained in Japanese Blue by trading Kadabra for Graveler in an in game trade at Cinnabar Lab, this does not hold true for the Japanese Gen 1 games.
** Either {{p|Electabuzz}} or {{p|Magmar}} (depending on the version), {{p|Kabutops}} or {{p|Omastar}} (depending on which [[Fossil]] the player chose) and {{p|Venusaur}} (if the player started with {{p|Charmander}} in Red and Blue or locked themselves out of {{p|Bulbasaur}} in Yellow) can be other Pokémon that cannot ever be seen, but only Golem is definitely missable.
** The remakes, {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, have a [[Ruin Maniac]] in [[Ruin Valley]] with a Golem, making it no longer impossible to see without trading.
* Golem's evolutionary line shares similarities with {{p|Gigalith}}'s evolutionary line. Both of them are {{type|Rock}}; have {{a|Sturdy}} as one of their {{Abilities}}; learn {{m|Stealth Rock}}, {{m|Smack Down}}, {{m|Explosion}}, {{m|Stone Edge}}, and {{m|Rock Blast}} by level-up; first evolve at level 25; and then reach the final evolutionary stage by [[trade|trading]].
* Golem's evolutionary line is the only three-stage evolutionary line in which all members have a [[regional form]].
* Alolan Golem has the highest base {{stat|Defense}} stat of all {{type|Electric}} Pokémon.
* Alolan Golem and its evolutionary relatives were designed by [[Hitoshi Ariga]].<ref>[https://twitter.com/ariga_megamix/status/804500572967555072 Tweet by ありがひとし/ArigaHitoshi (@ariga_megamix).] Posted on December 2, 2016.</ref>
* {{p|Burmy}}, {{p|Wormadam}}, {{p|Mothim}}, {{p|Geodude}}, {{p|Graveler}} and Golem are the only Pokémon in all five [[List of Pokémon by Hisui Pokédex number|Hisui Pokédex]] sublistings.
* In [[Generation IX]], Alolan Golem is unable to learn {{m|High Horsepower}} via [[TM]], while its pre-Evolutions can.

===Design variations===
{{main|Pokémon controversies#Four-fingered hands|Pokémon controversies → Four-fingered hands}}
In its original [[Generation I]] artwork, Golem had four claws instead of three.

===Origin===
Golem, as the name suggests, may be based on a {{wp|golem}}, an earth type {{wp|elemental}} creature, more specifically on representations in modern {{wp|role-playing game}}s, which usually are {{wp|ogre}}-like creatures whose bodies are covered in, or made of, stones. It could also have been inspired by the tsuchikorobi, a Japanese {{wp|yōkai}} known as the 'tumbling monster', for its habit of rolling over travelers and crushing them, as Golem does.

It might also be based on {{wp|tortoise}}s, which are believed to hold the world on their backs in many myths, including the {{wp|Hindu mythology|Hindu}}, {{wp|Chinese mythology|Chinese}}, and {{wp|Mythologies of the indigenous peoples of the Americas|Native American mythologies}}. Its "shell" may represent the {{wp|Plate tectonics|tectonic plates}} of Earth. It also resembles {{wp|Concretion#Septarian_concretions|septarian nodules}}, also known as "turtle stones."

Alolan Golem, like its predecessors, seems to have structures made of {{wp|Piezoelectricity#Materials|piezoelectric crystals}} or {{wp|magnetite}}, a subset of iron ore known for its black crystalline appearance and magnetic properties. The black structure on its back may be derived from an {{wp|electroshock weapon}} or a {{wp|railgun}}. This iron ore takes shape of a Golem's {{wp|beard}} and {{wp|eyebrows}}.

====Name origin====
Golem is literally ''golem''.

Golonya may be a combination of ゴロンゴロン ''goron-goron'' (onomatopoeia of rolling rocks) and ''montagna'' (Italian for ''mountain'').

Acetone15: Changed the sentence in the Base stats section to match the formatting of form names used in table and section headers and other pages (e.g. Graveler instead of Kantonian Graveler), moved the sentence above the table, and removed the now unnecessary form headers.

'''Graveler''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ゴローン''' ''Golone'') is a dual-type {{2t|Rock|Ground}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation I]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Geodude}} starting at [[level]] 25 and evolves into {{p|Golem}} when [[Trade Evolution|traded]] or when exposed to a [[Linking Cord]].

In [[Alola]], Graveler has a dual-type {{2t|Rock|Electric}} [[regional form]]. It evolves from {{rf|Alolan}} Geodude starting at level 25 and evolves into Alolan Golem when traded. These Graveler can also be found in [[Blueberry Academy]]'s [[Terarium]].

(Refer to [[#Evolution data|Game data→Evolution data]] for more details.)

==Biology==
[[File:Graveler OS concept art.png|thumb|200px|left|Concept art of Graveler for the [[original series]]]]
Graveler is a bipedal, {{wp|boulder}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. Its round body is covered with small bumps and it has a rocky crest above its small eyes and mouth. It has four arms, each with a three-fingered hand. Its second pair of arms is typically kept tucked against its chest. It was shown in [[Pokémon Snap]] that, despite having legs, it can revert to a legless form. This grants it the ability to float.

Graveler's preferred locomotion is rolling, as it is a slow walker. It often rolls down mountain paths at high speeds exceeding 60 mph (96.56 km/h), crushing objects in the way and stopping by running into huge rocks should it build up too much speed. It does not pay attention to obstacles, so it may potentially harm hikers as it rolls. However, it will {{m|Explosion|explode}} if it rolls into a river. Graveler is known to be generally free and uncaring, not minding if pieces of itself break off since they can regrow over time. It climbs a mountain from base to summit, feasting on rocks all the while. Graveler's favorite food is moss-covered rocks, regularly consumming tons of them and making loud noises while eating. Upon reaching the peak, it rolls down to the bottom. Graveler live in horizontal holes that they gouge out in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Mountain Pokémon|sheer cliff faces}}, and they are capable of withstanding volcanic temperatures. As mentioned in [[Pokémon Sleep]], Graveler is known to rock back and forth while sleeping. It is believed that it dreams about rolling down hilly paths.<ref>[[Sleep style|Sleep Style Dex]]</ref>

===Forms===
[[File:Alolan Graveler SM concept art.jpg|thumb|200px|right|Concept art of {{rf|Alolan}} Graveler for {{g|Sun and Moon}}]]

Graveler has a [[regional form]]: {{rf|Alolan}} Graveler.

In the [[Alola]] [[region]], Graveler looks similar to its regular counterpart, but with a silvery sheen. It lacks defined digits on its upper limbs and has two toes on each foot rather than three. There are several small, yellowish crystals scattered across its body and iron sand attracted by magnetism. This black sand creates crystal-like formations above its eyes, across the tops of the upper pair of arms, and on the sides of its face.

Alolan Graveler has a very quick-tempered personality. It feeds on rocks, with its preffered food being {{wp|dravite}}, which creates the yellow crystals on its body and grants it electrical abilities. It often fights with others over food, and when two smash together, they generate a flash of light and a booming sound; for this reason, people refer to it as "the fireworks of the earth".<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20170912111612/http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon/alolan-graveler/ | Alolan Graveler (Archived)]</ref> Similar to its [[Kanto]]nian counterpart, Alolan Graveler rolls down mountain paths; however, instead of flattening obstacles as it rolls, it sends them flying by zapping them with electricity. They can be found in the [[Canyon Biome]] of [[Blueberry Academy]]'s [[Terarium]], where Alola's island life is simulated.

Alolan Graveler and its evolutionary relatives are the [[Signature Ability|only known Pokémon]] that can have {{a|Galvanize}} as an [[Ability]].

===Evolution===
Graveler [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Geodude}} and evolves into {{p|Golem}}.

Alolan Graveler is a dual-[[type]] {{2t|Rock|Electric}} [[regional form]] of Graveler. It evolves from Alolan Geodude and evolves into Alolan Golem.

==Trivia==
* Graveler's {{v2|Crystal}} sprite is different from that of {{2v2|Gold|Silver}}, making it one of few Pokémon to have three distinctly different sprites in [[Generation II]].
* Graveler's {{2v2|Red|Blue}} sprite shows an incorrect number of limbs; only four are visible. This was corrected in {{game|Yellow}}.
** [[Mato]]'s rendition of the Pokémon in [[Pokémon Adventures]] also depicts {{adv|Yellow}}'s Graveler with four limbs, possibly for this reason. All other Graveler that have since appeared in Pokémon Adventures have shown the right amount.
* Graveler is the only Pokémon unavailable for use in the [[Pika Cup]] who can evolve, despite the fact that {{p|Golem}} is available.
* Graveler is very similar to {{p|Boldore}}. Both are {{type|Rock}} Pokémon introduced in an odd-numbered [[generation]] with a base stat total of 390, have {{a|Sturdy}} as one of their {{Abilities}}, evolve at level 25, and can evolve again by [[Trade|trading]].
* Graveler's evolutionary line is the only three-stage evolutionary line in which all members have a [[regional form]].
* Alolan Graveler and its evolutionary relatives were designed by [[Hitoshi Ariga]].<ref>[https://twitter.com/ariga_megamix/status/804500572967555072 Tweet by ありがひとし/ArigaHitoshi (@ariga_megamix).] Posted on December 2, 2016.</ref>
* {{p|Burmy}}, {{p|Wormadam}}, {{p|Mothim}}, {{p|Geodude}}, Graveler and {{p|Golem}} are the only Pokémon in all five [[List of Pokémon by Hisui Pokédex number|Hisui Pokédex]] sublistings.
* In [[Generation IX]], Kantonian Graveler cannot learn {{m|Gyro Ball}} via [[TM]], while its evolutionary relatives can.

===Origin===
Graveler appears to be based on a living {{wp|boulder}}, and thus it may be based on an earth {{wp|elemental}} creature like {{wp|golem}}. Its four arms may be based on Hindu gods such as {{wp|Shiva}} or {{wp|Vishnu}}. It could also have been inspired by the ''tsuchikorobi'', a Japanese {{wp|yōkai}} known as the "tumbling monster", for its habit of rolling over travelers and crushing them, as Graveler does.

Alolan Graveler seems to have dark structures made of {{wp|Piezoelectricity#Materials|piezoelectric crystals}} or {{wp|magnetite}}, a subset of iron ore known for its black crystalline appearance and magnetic properties. This iron ore takes the shape of Graveler's {{wp|eyebrow}}s. The golden gems may be also inspired by piezoelectric materials or by {{wp|amber}} and its electrostatic characteristics. This could possibly be an allusion to Ancient Greek {{lang|grc|ἤλεκτρον}} ''ēlektron'' ("amber"), from which words like ''electric'', ''electrical'', and ''electricity'' are derived.

====Name origin====
Graveler may be a combination of ''{{wp|gravel}}'' and ''traveler''.

Golone may be a combination of ゴロンゴロン ''goron-goron'' (onomatopoeia of rolling rocks) and ''stone''.

Acetone15: Changed the sentence in the Base stats section to match the formatting of form names used in table and section headers and other pages (e.g. Geodude instead of Kantonian Geodude), moved the sentence above the table, and removed the now unnecessary form headers.

'''Geodude''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''イシツブテ''' ''Isitsubute'') is a dual-type {{2t|Rock|Ground}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation I]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Graveler}} starting at [[level]] 25, which evolves into {{p|Golem}} when [[Trade Evolution|traded]] or when exposed to a [[Linking Cord]].

In [[Alola]], Geodude has a dual-type {{2t|Rock|Electric}} [[regional form]]. It evolves into {{rf|Alolan}} Graveler starting at level 25, which evolves into Alolan Golem when traded. These Geodude can also be found in [[Blueberry Academy]]'s [[Terarium]].

(Refer to [[#Evolution data|Game data→Evolution data]] for more details.)

==Biology==
[[File:Geodude OS concept art.png|thumb|200px|left|Reference sheet of Geodude for the [[original series]]]]
Geodude is a brownish-gray {{wp|boulder}}-like {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. It has bulging, rocky eyebrows, trapezoidal eyes with brown pupils, and a wide mouth. Its arms are muscular with five-fingered hands. Geodude uses its arms to climb steadily up steep mountain paths. As a result of their physical appearance, {{p|Rhyperior}} sometimes mistakes this Pokémon for an actual boulder and fires it through its hands.

Geodude is proud of its sturdy body and will bash against others of its kind in a contest of sorts to prove whose body is harder. It will even go as far as to compare itself with other species, such as {{p|Roggenrola}} and {{p|Carbink}}. The longer it lives, the more chipped and worn its body becomes. Geodude's roundness makes it easy to pick up, with some people even using it as a substitute for snowballs in snowball fights. However, its toughness and heaviness makes this dangerous for others. Long-lived Geodude are completely smooth and round and have a calm demeanor. However, its heart remains rugged and tough, no matter what. Geodude can be most often found on {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Mountain Pokémon|mountain trails and fields}}, with a scholar counting about 100 of them on just one route. It will sit still in these areas, which is why it is often mistaken for a rock. It is often stepped on and will sometimes swing its arms in anger when this occurs. When Geodude sleeps deeply, it buries itself halfway into the ground. Once buried, it will not awaken even if someone steps on it. In the morning, Geodude rolls downhill in search of food.

===Forms===
[[File:Alolan Geodude SM concept art.jpg|thumb|200px|right|Concept art of {{rf|Alolan}} Geodude for {{g|Sun and Moon}}]]
Geodude has a [[regional form]]: {{rf|Alolan}} Geodude.

In the [[Alola]] [[region]], Geodude is made of a magnetic rock with a more silvery appearance. There are areas on Alolan Geodude's body that are especially magnetic and attract iron sand, creating the appearance of black eyebrows and strands of short black hair.<ref>[http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon/alolan-geodude/ Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon | Alolan Geodude] ([https://web.archive.org/web/20170925010027mp_/http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon/alolan-geodude/ archived])</ref> Its fingers are fused together, leaving only the thumb and index finger free.

Stepping on Alolan Geodude results in an electrical shock and sometimes an angry headbutt. Like regular Geodude, it competes with other Alolan Geodude by bashing its head, with the iron sand sticking to the one with stronger magnetism. Alolan {{p|Golem}} will fire these Geodude from its back if real rocks are absent. They can also be found in the [[Canyon Biome]] of [[Blueberry Academy]]'s [[Terarium]], where Alola's island life is simulated.

Alolan Geodude and its evolved forms are the [[Signature Ability|only known Pokémon]] that can have {{a|Galvanize}} as an [[Ability]].

===Evolution===
Geodude evolves into {{p|Graveler}}, which evolves into {{p|Golem}}.

{{rf|Alolan}} Geodude has a dual-type {{2t|Rock|Electric}} [[regional form]]. It evolves into Alolan Graveler, which evolves into Alolan Golem.

* {{TFG|Groundbreakers}}: {{TFG ID|Groundbreakers|Geodude|8}}

==Other appearances==
===[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]===
Geodude is the final Poké Float to appear in the [[Poké Floats]] stage. As the {{p|Unown}} float around the top half of the screen, Geodude floats across the bottom with its arms outstretched, providing a solid base for fighting. After it leaves the screen, there will be no Poké Floats on the screen for a few seconds, before {{p|Squirtle}} pops up and restarts the cycle.

===[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]===
Geodude appears as a {{sbw|Spirits (characters)|Spirit}}.

==Trivia==
* In the Japanese game {{game|Blue|_(Japanese)}}, Geodude [[List of Pokémon by weight|weighs]] 2.0 kg instead of 20.0 kg (as it does in all other games). This has no mechanical significance, as no game mechanics use weight in the handheld [[Generation I]] games.
* Geodude is similar to {{p|Roggenrola}}: both are {{type|Rock}}, have {{a|Sturdy}} as one of their {{Abilities}}, evolve at level 25, and reach their final forms when [[trade]]d.
* Geodude is the only Rock type Pokémon to be part of a three-stage evolutionary line in Generation I.
** Although the Rock type {{p|Rhyhorn}} has a three-stage evolutionary line, its final Evolution, {{p|Rhyperior}}, was not introduced until [[Generation IV]].
* Geodude's evolutionary line is the only three-stage evolutionary line in which all members have a [[regional form]].
* Alolan Geodude has the lowest base {{stat|Special Attack}} stat of all {{type|Electric}} Pokémon.
* Alolan Geodude and its evolutionary relatives were designed by [[Hitoshi Ariga]].<ref>[https://twitter.com/ariga_megamix/status/804500572967555072 Tweet by ありがひとし/ArigaHitoshi (@ariga_megamix).] Posted on December 2, 2016.</ref>
* {{p|Burmy}}, {{p|Wormadam}}, {{p|Mothim}}, Geodude, {{p|Graveler}} and {{p|Golem}} are the only Pokémon in all five [[List of Pokémon by Hisui Pokédex number|Hisui Pokédex]] sublistings.

===Origin===
Geodude, being a living {{wp|Rock (geology)|rock}} or {{wp|boulder}}, may be based on an earth {{wp|elemental}} creature like a {{wp|golem}}.

Alolan Geodude seems to have dark structures made of {{wp|Piezoelectricity#Materials|piezoelectric crystals}} or {{wp|magnetite}}, a subset of iron ore known for its black crystalline appearance and magnetic properties. This iron ore takes shape of Geodude's {{wp|eyebrow}}s. Its {{t|Electric}} type may also be a pun on {{wp|thunderegg}}s.

====Name origin====
Geodude is a combination of ''[[Wiktionary:geo-|geo-]]'' (prefix for earth) and ''[[Wiktionary:dude|dude]]'' (slang word for a male person).<ref>'''{{DL|Television|PokéQuiz|ポケＱポン}}''' (PokéQuiz in Japanese): 正解はＧＥＯＤＵＤＥ！ジオドゥードです！ＧＥＯは地理に関すること　ＤＵＤＥは奴って意味なんですよ</ref> It may also involve ''{{wp|geode}}'' (hollow rock with crystals lined inside) and ''rude''.

Isitsubute is a combination of [[Wiktionary:石|石]] ''ishi'' (stone; rock) and [[Wiktionary:礫|礫]] ''tsubute'' (pebble, stone, or a small [[Wiktionary:throwing stone|throwing stone]]).<ref>'''{{DL|Television|PokéQuiz}}''': The correct answer’s Ishitsubute! I‑shee‑tsu‑bu‑te! “Ishi” means rock, and “tsubute” is like a throwing stone. Don’t try to throw a Geodude, though, because you will probably get hurt!</ref>
