== Masters EX dialogue ==

Team Rocket trio's quotes page is missing quotes from the event where James is recruited. Can you help add the quotes from that event? --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] ([[User talk:FinnishPokéFan92|talk]]) 22:35, 23 April 2023 (UTC)
:Sure, I'd be happy to! I don't have James myself, but I can find the event story on YouTube pretty easily. [[User:Storm Aurora|Storm Aurora]] ([[User talk:Storm Aurora|talk]]) 23:24, 23 April 2023 (UTC)

== Masters model of Gigantamax Pokémon ==
I've seen that you have been adding/updating some of the images from Pokémon Masters EX. I was wondering if you could add models of the Gigantamax forms of Pokémon from Masters EX. Right now the images that I have been using for the Dynamax page are the official artwork of the G-Max Pokémon, not the models of the Gigantamax Pokémon in Masters EX. Also, the images that I have been using for the G-Max page are from Pokémon Home. I would like the images to be actually from the game, so if it is possible, could you please get the models of the Gigantamax Pokémon from Masters?

If you do upload the images, please tell me so I can update the pages myself, that way you won't have to update the pages yourself. I know you are busy with editing other pages, so I wouldn't mind lightening the workload on that small task. [[User:TBR2001]] ([[User talk:TBR2001|talk]]) 22:35, 12 September 2023 (UTC)

:Unfortunately all the "models" I have are the ones that appear in the in-game menus, since those are actually just sprites. Gigantamax forms only appear during the Max Move/G-Max Move cutscenes, not menus. I don't know how to extract or construct the models myself, so the best I could do is take screenshots of the Pokémon before they use their moves. If that's acceptable, I could get a screenshot of every Gigantamax Pokémon except Pikachu. [[User:Storm Aurora|'''Storm Aurora''']] ([[User talk:Storm Aurora|talk]]) 00:37, 13 September 2023 (UTC)

::It's alright, I think it is better to leave it the way it is. Otherwise, the background will look jarring when you compare them to their original forms, which have no background. However, I could add the screenshots of the Gigantamax Pokémon to the Gigantamax page if you still want to take those screenshots.

== Neo Champion tournaments ==

In your edit summary, you mentioned that every tournament has featured a rival beating a player character (Calem beating Serena, Hop/Bede/Marnie beating Gloria/Victor, and Blue beating Leaf). However, I don't think it makes sense to count both Calem/Serena and Blue/Leaf at the same time.

The character based on the player character in the Kanto games is Red, so it feels weird to count Blue beating Leaf just because you can play as her in the games when the same is also true for Calem. [[User:PokemonMasterJamal3|PokemonMasterJamal3]] ([[User talk:PokemonMasterJamal3|talk]]) 20:00, 14 September 2023 (UTC)
:OK, I'll give you that, the Kanto NC tournament doesn't really feature a rival beating the player character because Red is the clear canon protag from the Kanto games. However, I maintain that saying it happens "often" is still accurate if it happens in 2 out of 3 tournaments. Perhaps we could combine the two statements? "Every tournament to date has featured only [[player character]]s and [[rival]]s, and they often feature a rival triumphing over a player character."

== about the images of the characters ==

[[User:Hikaru_Wazana/Masters_Eight#Gallery]]

Should the size of these images be like this? I found the quality and resolution of the images a little low. Do you have them in a better size?--[[User:Hikaru Wazana|Hikaru Wazana]] ([[User talk:Hikaru Wazana|talk]]) 17:44, 5 October 2023 (UTC)
: Yeah, they should be bigger. I have them at 1457x2048, but when converted to .png the file size is too large to be uploaded to the Archives (they're .jpgs when I download them from Twitter). I can try saving them with more compression and see if that gets the file sizes smaller. If I can get them small enough to upload, would you like me to replace the images you uploaded with them? [[User:Storm Aurora|'''Storm Aurora''']] ([[User talk:Storm Aurora|talk]]) 18:45, 5 October 2023 (UTC)
::I use https://imagecompressor.com/ to compress, been quite handy.--[[User:BigDocFan|BigDocFan]], Junior Admin Bulbapedia ([[User talk:BigDocFan|talk]]) 19:03, 5 October 2023 (UTC)
::::Yes, I will upload it, Storm. If you prefer, you can send me the images via discord in a personal message, and I will try to help.--[[User:Hikaru Wazana|Hikaru Wazana]] ([[User talk:Hikaru Wazana|talk]]) 19:40, 5 October 2023 (UTC)
:::::Sounds good. I'll look into it when I get home from work. [[User:Storm Aurora|'''Storm Aurora''']] ([[User talk:Storm Aurora|talk]]) 20:09, 5 October 2023 (UTC)
::::::Compressed and DM'ed to you, Hikaru. Thanks for the website suggestion, BigDocFan - it was super effective at compressing the images! [[User:Storm Aurora|'''Storm Aurora''']] ([[User talk:Storm Aurora|talk]]) 23:29, 5 October 2023 (UTC)

== Creating templates ==

This is going to be ambitious and complicated. Yet, I thank you for reading this comment! As I stated in FinnishPokéFan92's talk page, I wish to create templates that show attributes of moves and sync moves featured in Pokémon Masters EX, please. (Examples: the following link's two blocks for [[Aeroblast_(move)#Pok.C3.A9mon_Masters_EX|Aeroblast]].) How much are able to teach me? I appreciate any knowledge and experience that you are willing to share! [[User:Solemn Mac|Solemn Mac]] ([[User talk:Solemn Mac|talk]]) 15:23, 2 November 2023 (UTC)
:Well, the way I learned to create templates is by looking at other templates to see how they work! [[Template:MastersEventInfobox]] and [[Template:MastersMissionTable]] are good examples of what you can do with templates (I created both of those myself, so I might be biased :P). [[:Category:Other templates]] has some templates for attacks in other spin-offs, so that might be a good place to start building the specific template you have in mind. If you click the "edit this page" or "view source" button on a template page, you can view the source code and see how it's constructed.
:A couple basic tips to help with reading template code: parameters are denoted with triple curly braces, like <code>{{{this}}}</code>. If there's a word in between the braces, that parameter is a named parameter, so you'll have to specify the name of the parameter in the template call (i.e. <code><nowiki>{{incomplete|needs=Missing image}}</nowiki></code>). If there's a number in between the braces, that's an unnamed parameter, which just need to be placed in a specific order in the template call. For example, the 2nd parameter in the template call is automatically passed to the <code>{{{2}}}</code> parameter. Lastly, if you see a parameter like <code><nowiki>{{{this|example}}}</nowiki></code>, "example" is the default value of the "this" parameter. If you don't specify a value for "this", then "example" will be used by default. [[User:Storm Aurora|'''Storm Aurora''']] ([[User talk:Storm Aurora|talk]]) 18:54, 2 November 2023 (UTC)
::This next part is going to make me look ignorant, but first, I thank you for all the info that you gave to me in your messages! So, I am told that I should create a new template in a user subpage, and I do that by "mak[ing] an article at User:<yourname>/<pagename>." I can find my own talk and user pages, and I know how to make a new section, but I'm afraid that making a user subpage is out of my element now. So, how I find this ''User:<yourname>/<pagename>''? I am confident that your expertise in user subpages will be a wonderful guiding star! [[User:Solemn Mac|Solemn Mac]] ([[User talk:Solemn Mac|talk]]) 06:32, 3 November 2023 (UTC)
:::Oh, it's the same as making a new page! There are a few ways to do that:
:::* Type the name of the page into any editing form, put brackets around it, and preview your edit. Click on the link you created, and it'll automatically bring you to the page creation form.
:::* Type the name of the page into the search bar and click "search". A prompt will appear at the top of the search list giving you the option to create the page.
:::* Edit the URL of the page directly, typing the name of the page after "/wiki/". Make sure you use underscores instead of spaces, though.
:::So, you just create a page called "User:<yourname>/<pagename>" and the wiki will recognize it as a subpage of your user page. [[User:Storm Aurora|'''Storm Aurora''']] ([[User talk:Storm Aurora|talk]]) 21:46, 4 November 2023 (UTC)
::::I thank you so much for all that information, Storm Aurora! Soon, I will use these facts to make my first template! [[User:Solemn Mac|Solemn Mac]] ([[User talk:Solemn Mac|talk]]) 23:37, 5 November 2023 (UTC)
:::::Not a problem, good luck! And you can just call me Storm~ [[User:Storm Aurora|'''Storm Aurora''']] ([[User talk:Storm Aurora|talk]]) 02:53, 6 November 2023 (UTC)
::::::As I was removing some of my tool tips, I have created my first finished template. It is located here: [[User:Solemn_Mac/MG_Slot|link]]. So, how do I get it approved for general use? [[User:Solemn Mac|Solemn Mac]] ([[User talk:Solemn Mac|talk]]) 16:04, 21 February 2024 (UTC)
{{indent}}First things first, userspace pages/templates shouldn't use categories intended for mainspace pages, so I've gone ahead and hidden the category on that template for you. Second, it needs to be reviewed and approved by staff. Normally that's done by putting {{template|mainspace}} on the page with the <code><nowiki>{{{status}}}</nowiki></code> parameter set to <code>complete</code>, but since you've brought it up to me directly, I can look it over for you.

My primary concern about this template is where/how you intend it to be used. If it's just going to be used in a template for Masters moves, it's best to just paste the code you're using for this template into the other template, rather than calling a template within the other template (that ends up inflating the include size of the other template).

I also don't think it's necessary to use a switch statement here. When the only difference between the options is a single word (one, two, three, or four), it's simpler to just make that word the parameter so that you're just inserting that word into the file name (<code><nowiki>[[File:Move gauge {{{1|four}}} slots.png]]</nowiki></code>). As for the slot/slots thing, we could change the image names so that they're all using the same name scheme (<code>Move gauge one slot</code>, <code>Move gauge two slot</code>, etc. or <code>Move gauge one slots</code>, <code>Move gauge two slots</code>, etc.) or use an if statement to determine if "slot" or "slots" is used. The if statement is cheaper to use performance-wise, since it's just one comparison compared to four or five for the switch statement. [[User:Storm Aurora|'''Storm Aurora''']] ([[User talk:Storm Aurora|talk]]) 21:01, 22 February 2024 (UTC)
:I can tell that these templates don't look promising now. You are probably believing that they will harm Pokémon Masters EX's image. I assure you that I will use your feedback to make templates that '''bolster''' this game's impression! How does that sound? With all sincerity, [[User:Solemn Mac|Solemn Mac]] ([[User talk:Solemn Mac|talk]]) 16:15, 23 February 2024 (UTC)

: Excuse me, Storm. Is this a bad day to ask you some questions? [[User:Solemn Mac|Solemn Mac]] ([[User talk:Solemn Mac|talk]]) 12:59, 27 February 2024 (UTC)
::Nah, other people have the new information from the Presents under control. What's up? [[User:Storm Aurora|'''Storm Aurora''']] ([[User talk:Storm Aurora|talk]]) 15:20, 27 February 2024 (UTC)

:::Thank you! One, how do I delete a needless template? Two, how can I limit a parameter's values (e.g., numbers 11-21 or five certain strings)? [[User:Solemn Mac|Solemn Mac]] ([[User talk:Solemn Mac|talk]]) 17:12, 27 February 2024 (UTC)
::::To answer your first question, most users can't delete pages (including template pages); that ability is restricted to admin or higher staff members. You'll need to put the {{template|delete}} template at the top of the page you want deleted, and an admin will come by later and delete it for you. To answer your second question, there's no way to limit a parameter's values; if the template doesn't work with a certain value, it doesn't work. Editors need to be careful that they're using acceptable values for the templates they call. Template documentation exists to help users know what the acceptable values for a parameter are. {{template|MastersRoleCell}} and {{template|MastersMissionTable}} are good examples of templates that require specific values for some of their parameters, and they have good documentation to help editors use them properly. [[User:Storm Aurora|'''Storm Aurora''']] ([[User talk:Storm Aurora|talk]]) 19:13, 27 February 2024 (UTC)

:::::Thank you for teaching me new things! I learned a lot! [[User:Solemn Mac|Solemn Mac]] ([[User talk:Solemn Mac|talk]]) 21:32, 27 February 2024 (UTC)
::::::I'm sorry; this will look like more work, and I'm afraid that the latter question is going to look weird. But I wish to present four certain icons in a way that makes all of us happy!
::::::# Is it a ridiculous idea to change the names of the four move-gauge pictures to the following: <code>Move gauge 1-slot icon</code>, <code>Move gauge 3-slot icon</code>, etc.?
::::::# For each aforementioned picture, are you against placing a hyphen between the number and the word ''slot'' (example: '''1-slot''') due to those two forming one compound modifier that comes before the noun it describes, the word ''icon''? Very humbly, [[User:Solemn Mac|Solemn Mac]] ([[User talk:Solemn Mac|talk]]) 19:49, 28 February 2024 (UTC)
:::::::Hmmm. I'm not really a fan of using the term "icon" for a screenshot of the move gauge. I wonder, maybe it would be easier to just use the sprite that's used to represent move gauge slots in the in-game menus? Then the template could just display the image multiple times to represent multiple move gauge slots. That would make it easier to update the template later if they ever decide to add five- or six-gauge moves. If you're good with that solution, I can upload that image. [[User:Storm Aurora|'''Storm Aurora''']] ([[User talk:Storm Aurora|talk]]) 05:55, 29 February 2024 (UTC)
::::::::Thank you for sharing your thoughts before implementing your plan! So, how will you upload that image? [[User:Solemn Mac|Solemn Mac]] ([[User talk:Solemn Mac|talk]]) 15:22, 29 February 2024 (UTC)

::::::::::::I have some bad news. I'm afraid that one outdated MG picture is being used in Boblers's [[User:Boblers/MastersMove|MastersMove]] template, which has not been updated since Nov. 2, 2023.
::::::::::::On the plus side, though, I removed such images from everywhere else! So, you can at least delete the October-2023 one-, two-, and three-slot MG photographs now! By the way, what template allows me to repeat inputting a file X number of times? [[User:Solemn Mac|Solemn Mac]] ([[User talk:Solemn Mac|talk]]) 09:58, 1 March 2024 (UTC)
:::::::::::::It's OK to edit another user's userspace page to remove redirect links, red links, and the like, so I've gone ahead and deleted the images and updated that template accordingly.
:::::::::::::As for a template that allows you to repeatedly add a file...if this were any other coding language, I'd say just use a loop. Unfortunately, I don't know of any way to do loops in wikicode, so a switch statement will have to do. You can copy the one I just modified in Boblers' MastersMove template, if you like.

== Masters EX story appearances ==

I've been adding some missing story appearances to Masters EX characters' lists on said appearances. Namely, I've been adding non-speaking appearances. I presume those still count for the purposes of those lists, correct? --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] ([[User talk:FinnishPokéFan92|talk]]) 22:38, 21 November 2023 (UTC)
:Yes, they do! I've added non-speaking appearances for some recent events as I play through them, but my lists are primarily sourced from the characters' quote pages, so non-speaking appearances generally slip through the cracks. You adding non-speaking appearances has really been a big help in that regard, so thank you! [[User:Storm Aurora|'''Storm Aurora''']] ([[User talk:Storm Aurora|talk]]) 02:52, 22 November 2023 (UTC)

:::In the newest Neo Champions event, there's one character appearance that only happens in a flashback without any dialogue. I also recall at least one similar incident in an earlier event (though I can't recall which event exactly). Are these appearances listed like any one appearance?

::::I've just been listing characters that appear in flashbacks like any other appearance, but perhaps a note that they only appeared in a flashback would be more appropriate. "Event type: Event name (flashback)", or something like that. There's one instance I can think of where a character never appears onscreen but has speaking lines, and I believe I just listed that as a normal appearance as well...I should probably add a note to that one, too.

== SV Adventures ==

Regarding [[Special:Diff/3897097]], I meant to say that while most other media (games, anime, etc) have depicted only one academy, and the academies are mostly depicted as exclusive to each other, Adventures was the first where both were confirmed to exist within the same continuity. Do you think this theory holds true or if there is a better way to word it? → [[User:SuperPikaPool13|Pika]][[User talk:SuperPikaPool13|Tepig]][[Special:Contribs/SuperPikaPool13|999]] 22:41, 3 January 2024 (UTC)
:Since I can't read Japanese, I don't know how much is said about Naranja Academy other than the fact that Scarlet supposedly transferred from there, and I don't think the academy itself appeared. So I don't know if it's really been "confirmed to exist", and I'd rather play it safe in case there's a plot twist that Naranja Academy isn't the school she transferred from or something.
:If you want to keep the trivia in, I'd suggest making it a sub-bullet point, since "This is the first media to show Uva and Naranja Academy coexisting" is a separate but related piece of trivia. [[User:Storm Aurora|'''Storm Aurora''']] ([[User talk:Storm Aurora|talk]]) 23:23, 3 January 2024 (UTC)
::I guess there's no harm in waiting for the next chapter for more info, then.

== Template:Masters ==

Since you work on Masters pages the most, I thought I'd bring this to you. I wrote up [[Special:Redirect/page/301484|documentation for the Masters Pokémon template]]. Can you check if it is correct and ready for the mainspace/templatespace? → [[User:SuperPikaPool13|Pika]][[User talk:SuperPikaPool13|Tepig]][[Special:Contribs/SuperPikaPool13|999]] 07:32, 5 January 2024 (UTC)
:Looks good overall. The suggestions I'd make are:
:* In the "ndex" and "ndex2" parameter notes, it'd make more sense to link to the category for Masters Pokémon models. The suffixes should all be the same, but there are fewer Masters models to click through, so it's easier to find the specific Pokémon you're looking for. It also wouldn't hurt to mention something about the fact that the numbers should be padded to 4 digits (we recently moved all the Masters models and icons to use 4-digit padding).
:* There are no unknown type Pokémon or moves in Masters, so "Unknown" doesn't need to be listed as an allowed value for parameters involving type.
:* An explanation of the "moveX" parameter would be helpful. I think it's currently only used for Gladion, but if somebody ever forms a sync pair with Arceus, this parameter would probably be used for them too.
:* For the "base" parameter, the inputs aren't entirely self-explanatory, so it'd be helpful to explain the difference between # and #EX, and that 6 is the same as 5EX.
:* Is "—" really a valid input for stats? I can't think of any instances where a Pokémon doesn't have a stat.
:* Can we make "yes" the intended input for "mega" instead of "1"? It's a more intuitive input to someone who's unfamiliar with code, and it'd be consistent with how moveX works.
:There's a few minor wording tweaks I'd like to make, but those can wait until it's mainspaced. [[User:Storm Aurora|'''Storm Aurora''']] ([[User talk:Storm Aurora|talk]]) 21:25, 5 January 2024 (UTC)
::Feel free to edit the page while it is in my userspace as well. I actually used most of the existing docs as a starting point, so customizing this documentation with the Masters category is a GREAT idea. (I should probably also do that for the Unite documentations too.)
::* For the stats if the stats parameter is not enter, it displays "—". It should be removed though, so that the stats can be treated as necessary parameters.
::* I did search a lot for what the "moveX" meant, couldn't figure out how it exactly worked.
::* The "mega" parameter uses the #ifexpr keyword, so I think it requires a number. Either way, the template itself will be needed to be changed.
::I've made these changes, if you have any more feel free to edit the page directly. Also let me know if there are any more Masters templates in need of documentation, I enjoy working on them. → [[User:SuperPikaPool13|Pika]][[User talk:SuperPikaPool13|Tepig]][[Special:Contribs/SuperPikaPool13|999]] 21:50, 5 January 2024 (UTC)
:::Swapped the "mega" parameter to use #ifeq instead of #ifexpr, so now "yes" and "1" are equally acceptable parameters. I've updated the documentation accordingly (along with those other wording tweaks I mentioned earlier), so I think it's good to be mainspaced. The default parameter being "—" is just so the template page displays nicely, same reason why the default name is "Pikachu", the type is "Electric", and so on.
:::If you'd like to write up some other Masters template documentation, it looks like {{template|MastersInfobox}} and {{template|MastersEventInfobox}} don't have any. {{template|MastersMissionTable}} has documentation, but it's not the most user-friendly (have fun trying to find the purpose of a specific parameter). It's lovely prose, but template documentation is not the place for that, lol. So if you want to convert that to a table, that'd be helpful too.

{{Indent}}Hello again. Do you think it'd be good idea to make the <code>size</code> parameter in {{Template|MastersInfobox}} optional? Most pages use <code>200px</code> anyway, and it'd be a lot easier to just have that as the default value in there, instead of having to specifiy that for every template call. → [[User:SuperPikaPool13|Pika]][[User talk:SuperPikaPool13|Tepig]][[Special:Contribs/SuperPikaPool13|999]] 19:59, 14 March 2024 (UTC)
:That makes sense, though in practice I'd imagine it doesn't make much of a difference because it'd be easier to copy the template from another page/elsewhere on the page instead of writing it out from scratch. I don't think it hurts anything, though, so I've gone ahead and added <code>200px</code> as the default value for <code>size</code>. Does the TemplateData need to be modified or anything?

:::I suspected that was the case, lol.

It could have taken me a while to see your message, or I could have decided not to make the change, for example.

== Masters EX moves ==

Good job with all those edits on move articles. Are you also adding missing moves to them as you go? I try to help out on any Masters-related thing I happen to come across. --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] ([[User talk:FinnishPokéFan92|talk]]) 20:10, 23 January 2024 (UTC)
:Yes, I'm working through all the moves on the list of moves in Masters in alphabetical order to make sure the individual move pages match it, including adding moves that are missing. There's a bunch of Masters-related formatting stuff that I've been working on lately, and if you want to help with any of them, that'd be great!
:* We recently moved all the Masters Pokémon images to use four-digit padding. The old filenames are preserved as redirects so that previous revisions of pages don't break completely, but since four-digit numbers are the new standard, we need to change all those images to link to the current name. (I've seen you doing some of this on pages that use the PairDex template, and that's super helpful!)
:* We have a new template, {{template|sync}}, that's used for linking directly to a specific Pokémon section on a character's page. The documentation explains how to use it, if you're unsure. This template can replace all instances of a Trainer and Pokémon being linked to individually, such as in the tables on the [[sync move]] page, as well as being a cleaner way to write direct links, such as what I did on the [[story event]] page.
:* I recently moved the [[sygna suit]] page to match its in-game capitalization, and there's still a lot of pages that need to be relinked so they're not linking to the redirect. In particular, there's a ton of quotes pages that still need relinking.
:* Not specifically Masters-related, but we're trying to move away from using tooltips as much as possible, since they're unusable on mobile. Information in tooltips should generally be removed (if it's superfluous) or moved somewhere else. (I have not removed the tooltips used in availability sections yet because I haven't been able to figure out a good way to indicate when a banner is paid-gem-only or to indicate when a character is battling in a different outfit than usual.)
:* Speaking of availability sections, at Tiddlywinks' suggestion, we're moving availability (how/when a sync pair can be obtained) into the section for that sync pair, between the Pokémon's infobox and moves. The former availability section is being renamed "appearances". Also on sync pair pages, we've made some tweaks to {{template|Masters}} so that an alternate form (such as a Mega Evolution) can be displayed inside the infobox, rather than having its own section underneath. In addition, the article that the Pokémon name links to can now be overridden, so a Trainer's Pokémon page can be linked to instead of the generic species page. Lastly, I've started renaming the "Other" section to "Other Pokémon", so it's a little more clear when reading the table of contents what that section is about.
:It's a lot, so obviously I don't expect you to help with all of it... But if you can make some of these changes while you're editing a page for some other reason, that'd be a big help <3 [[User:Storm Aurora|'''Storm Aurora''']] ([[User talk:Storm Aurora|talk]]) 21:23, 23 January 2024 (UTC)
::Good to hear. Just wanted to make sure.
::* Yeah, notice the four-digit thing, which honestly didn't come as a surprise, after it has already been out to use elsewhere on the site. As soon as Paldea Pokémon started appearing in Masters EX, it was pretty much inevitable. As you've mentioned, I've been adding this new format to PairDex lists, usually going systematically with one region at a time.
::* Noticed the new "sync" template being used too, and have already tried it out at least once. Took me about a literal minute for me to get over the fact that this template removes links to individual Pokémon articles of such exist, but that was over quickly, and I'm more than fine with using this template as well.
::* Yeah, noticed the multitude of Sygna Suit redirect links that still need fixing. A daunting task, but we should get it done little by little.
::* As a user who mainly relies on a mobile device, I can completely understand.
::* Also noticed the relocation of the availability sections, which is perfectly fine by me, and have helped to move it on a couple pages already. And the "Other" to "Other Pokémon" change is perfectly fine by me too.
::So overall, yeah, I'm familiar with all these changes, as well as the sheet multitude of pages that must be edited to fully put them in effect, but I'm more than ready to help whenever and wherever I can. --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] ([[User talk:FinnishPokéFan92|talk]]) 22:29, 23 January 2024 (UTC)

== Holiday sync pairs ==

Around last Christmas, I figured that since the holiday sync pairs are released around Christmas time, they'd fit right in on Bulbapedia's Christmas article. So I added them there. During the last few days, I've started to think if the word "Holiday" could be linked to "Christmas" whenever used in reference to a holiday sync pair, like on the sync pair list, for example. I just wanted to ask what you think of the idea before I started doing it. --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] ([[User talk:FinnishPokéFan92|talk]]) 18:09, 5 March 2024 (UTC)
:I completely forgot we even had a Christmas article, lol. I think it's fine to put the list of holiday sync pairs there, but I don't know about linking to it every time "Holiday" is mentioned, since the in-universe holiday isn't really named. It'd make more sense if all the seasonal pairs linked to the seasonal event page, which is currently not a page and just a section on the story event page. It'd need to be made into a full page before we start linking to it. [[User:Storm Aurora|'''Storm Aurora''']] ([[User talk:Storm Aurora|talk]]) 19:47, 5 March 2024 (UTC)
::Your points make sense. I'll just leave things as they are (to be specific, I only intended to mention it at the sync pair list and the intro of every character article that has a holiday sync pair). --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] ([[User talk:FinnishPokéFan92|talk]]) 21:15, 5 March 2024 (UTC)

== Masters EX topics ==

Creating a genetic header to talk about Masters EX things without always having to create a new header. My first idea is something in honestly surprised hadn't crossed my mind until just now. For every Masters EX character, their core series counterpart's page lists what sync pairs they can form, while the list matches the color of their first sync pair's type. However, while this is fine for type expert sync pairs, what about sync pairs who are not type specialists? Should their list colors match the general color theme of their article instead of the type of their sync pair? And if a type expert sync pair's primary sync pair's type doesn't match their specialty type, should it be changed to match their specialty type instead? --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] ([[User talk:FinnishPokéFan92|talk]]) 09:41, 18 March 2024 (UTC)
:After taking a look at a few articles of non-type specialists, it seems like all tables on their pages have the same color scheme except the TCG tables (which use TCG colors), tables for individual Pokémon (which use that Pokémon's type), and the Masters tables. With that in mind, I feel like it'd make the most sense for the Masters tables' color scheme to match the color scheme of the whole page, unless the character only forms one sync pair, in which case it should be treated like an individual Pokémon's table and have a color scheme matching the sync pair's type. This would apply to both non-type specialists and type specialists. So in the case of type specialists whose primary sync pair doesn't match their specialty type, it'd be changed to match their specialty type if they form multiple sync pairs (i.e. Raihan) and stay as the sync pair's type if they only form one sync pair (i.e. Hala). That's my suggestion, but as always you're welcome to disagree. [[User:Storm Aurora|'''Storm Aurora''']] ([[User talk:Storm Aurora|talk]]) 17:45, 18 March 2024 (UTC)
::Sounds good to me. I'll get to it, then. And speaking of Hala, he's the only type specialist in Masters EX who doesn't form a sync pair with a Pokémon me matching his specialty type, so I'm not sure how we should deal with him. With everything else, I agree with you completely. --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] ([[User talk:FinnishPokéFan92|talk]]) 21:53, 18 March 2024 (UTC)
:::Like I said, since he only forms one sync pair, I think it makes sense to keep using the Ice color for his table.

:::::::::That was a really big EX role and sync grid expansion drop we got yesterday, so good job adding them all. I'd add the sync grid expansions to the sync grid article, but I don't really know how to distinguish horizontal and vertical expansions from each other based on just the added content. And another thing: I'm wondering if the two Poké Kids from the newest story event are actually Petey and Eve. Their Pokémon's genders match, at least, and I recall you adding an earlier Poké Kid appearance under their names. --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] ([[User talk:FinnishPokéFan92|talk]]) 08:47, 28 April 2024 (UTC)
::::::::::Oh, that wasn't me. I've been super busy with work and other irl stuff, so I've barely had time to keep up with all the new/rerunning events... I haven't even watched the event story yet, just skipped through it so I could unlock all the battles. So I'm not sure what kids you're referring to, I'll get back to you on that once I've done the event story. It's really easy to tell the difference between horizontal and vertical grid expansions, though - vertical grid expansions are for Poké Fairs only, and they include tiles that are unlocked at move level 4 or 5. Horizontal grid expansions can be for anyone, and they include tiles that can be unlocked at move level 1. All the recent grid expansions were vertical expansions. [[User:Storm Aurora|'''Storm Aurora''']] ([[User talk:Storm Aurora|talk]]) 23:51, 28 April 2024 (UTC)
:::::::::::Update, I've done the event story. My previous rule of thumb has been that, like you said, if they have the exact same partner Pokémon, it's meant to be the playable character and not just a generic background NPC. However, with the Poké Kids specifically, I feel like it makes sense that character who dresses up like Eevee to use an Eevee, and a character who dresses up like Pikachu to wear a Pikachu. I've been a little hesitant to say that any female Poké Kid with a male Eevee is Eve because male is typically the "default" appearance; the Eevee Egg event featured battles against a female Poké Kid with a male Eevee who was not Eve, for example. However, a male Poké Kid with a female Pikachu involves a deliberate change to the "default" appearance, so I'm more inclined to think it's meant to be Petey specifically. That's why I counted the male Poké Kid with a female Pikachu who appeared in this year's AFD event as an appearance for Petey, while I haven't counted the female Poké Kid with a male Eevee who appears in Penny's sync pair story as an appearance for Eve. In the case of Rika's event, the male Poké Kid seems pretty likely to be Petey, and it'd be silly for the male Poké Kid to be Petey and the female one is just a generic kid, so I'm OK counting them both (and I plan to add the quotes to their respective quote pages). Now that I'm saying it out loud, though, I feel like maybe I'm being a little too cautious, and I should just give Eve the appearances for Penny's sync pair story and the AFD event too... [[User:Storm Aurora|'''Storm Aurora''']] ([[User talk:Storm Aurora|talk]]) 04:24, 29 April 2024 (UTC)
::::::::::::Thanks. I'll add their appearance from Rika's event to their pages, and I'm personally leaning on adding the other events Eve appeared in to her page too. --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] ([[User talk:FinnishPokéFan92|talk]]) 08:12, 29 April 2024 (UTC)
:::::::::::::After sleeping on it, yeah, I think I'm good with counting the Poké Kid in Penny's sync pair story as Eve—the biggest reason I didn't add it at the time was because Eve hadn't been officially released yet, but they did the same thing with Grusha (giving him a cameo in an event prior to his official debut) so it'd make sense for this to be the same situation. I don't think I wanna count the AFD event as an Eve appearance, though, since the female Poké Kid who appears in that event isn't shown with a partner Pokémon.

"Pie" is not an inappropriate nickname or username, in fact, it is a dessert for eating. Why? [[User:PMat331|PMat331]] ([[User talk:PMat331|talk]]) 10:17, 21 April 2024 (UTC)

Other wikis allow "Pie", but only this page does not. {{unsigned|PMat331}}
:{{u|Pie}} is already taken, and that user was a former staff member.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 13:34, 21 April 2024 (UTC)

== Recovering an edit ==

I'm so sorry; I need your help! I'm about to ask you to wave your magic wand, please!

I'm afraid my browser crashed at today about 5:02 p.m. UTC before I could save my hours-long edits in [[Egg Pokémon (Masters)]]. Is it impossible for you to recover my progress? Very humbly, [[User:Solemn Mac|Solemn Mac]] ([[User talk:Solemn Mac|talk]]) 17:21, 27 May 2024 (UTC)
:Unfortunately I don't believe there is a way for us to recover the edit. However, you may be able to fetch your last preview from your browser history. In the future, I'd also recommend saving large edits on your computer by periodically copying and pasting the code into a text document. Hope this helps! [[User:Landfish7|'''Land''']][[User talk:Landfish7|'''fish7''']] 18:50, 27 May 2024 (UTC)
::I'm so sorry! Like Landfish said, we don't have a magic wand to wave and recover your progress. The most I can offer is helping you redo the edit; I'm guessing you were adding information about the new Caterpie sync pairs? I could give it a shot adding that information, if you'd like. [[User:Storm Aurora|'''Storm Aurora''']] ([[User talk:Storm Aurora|talk]]) 20:12, 27 May 2024 (UTC)
:::Well, I thank you both all the same for those suggestions! Landfish, I'll follow your advice by saving large edits on my computer moving forward! Storm, I'll redo the edits from scratch, but if I can't go on go on, I'll reach out to you! Thank you both again! I will use this situation to become more of an editor that make you both proud! The very best regards, [[User:Solemn Mac|Solemn Mac]] ([[User talk:Solemn Mac|talk]]) 01:16, 28 May 2024 (UTC)

== Assistance with the Hoenn League Page ==

Hello Storm Aurora. A little over a week ago, you showed approval for a change I proposed on the [[Pokémon League (Hoenn)]] page. I completed the change, and I haven't received any reversions. However, there is one touch that I have had two people revert without any dialogue, and I was wondering if you could weigh in on the talk page. I haven't reverted it back again since I don't want to start an editing war, but I definitely do want some authority to decide which way makes more sense. Essentially, I have the trainer names listed in bolded, enlarged text so that the contents table isn't loaded with 20 pointless links. If you could take a look at the page and see which way you think is better for navigation, I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you! [[User:Cinder24|Cinder24]] ([[User talk:Cinder24|talk]]) 06:52, 31 May 2024 (UTC)
:Hi, sorry for the delay! I had a super busy day today, but I'm taking a look at the situation now. [[User:Storm Aurora|'''Storm Aurora''']] ([[User talk:Storm Aurora|talk]]) 05:14, 1 June 2024 (UTC)
::Thank you again for your resolution! That seemed like the perfect compromise, and I think both Finnish and I can both be happy with how the page looks now. I also suggested the same rearrangement on the [[Pokémon League (Sinnoh)]] page since DPPtBDSP all crowd up each E4 member in the same way as RSEORAS, so I'll use your decision as a precedent if it goes through on that talk page as well. [[User:Cinder24|Cinder24]] ([[User talk:Cinder24|talk]]) 22:12, 1 June 2024 (UTC)

== Name Change ==
Hey there, I'm not sure if this is the correct place to ask, but may I have my username changed to just Aeon? Thank you! [[User:ZeroExalted|ZeroExalted]] ([[User talk:ZeroExalted|talk]]) 12:41, 6 June 2024 (UTC)
:Hi! Unfortunately I don't have the permissions to change usernames, but I've forwarded your request to the people who do <3 Someone should be in touch soon. [[User:Storm Aurora|'''Storm Aurora''']] ([[User talk:Storm Aurora|talk]]) 15:16, 6 June 2024 (UTC)

'''Dondozo''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ヘイラッシャ''' ''Heyrusher'') is a {{type|Water}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation IX]].

It is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon.

Dondozo interacts with {{p|Tatsugiri}} in [[Double Battle]]s via its [[signature move]], {{m|Order Up}}, and Tatsugiri's [[signature Ability]], {{a|Commander}}.

==Biology==
[[File:Dondozo tongue.jpg|thumb|left|250px|Dondozo's tongue, with three Tatsugiri on top<ref>[https://twitter.com/poke_times/status/1643176584415682564 Tweet by 【公式】ポケモン情報局 (@poke_times).] Posted on April 4, 2023.</ref>]]
Dondozo is a giant piscine Pokémon. Its body has three colors: light blue at the top; dark blue in the middle; and white on its belly, upper lip, and fins. It has a pair of pectoral fins and its rear half is flanked on either side by elongated anal fins, ending at a large, fan-like tail fin. On top of its head is a ring of six frills arranged in a circle: the two rightmost frills are much longer and end in flat tips, resembling a {{wp|hachimaki}}, while the other four are shorter and rounded. It has three gills on either side of its body. Its face has a short protrusion resembling a nose, along with dark blue lips, a blue tongue, a pair of long {{wp|Barbel (anatomy)|barbels}} above its upper lip, and five barbels on its lower jaw, with one of them being longer and curled, located just below its lower lip. Dondozo's tongue is long and rectangular with two blocky protrusions below it, altogether resembling a ''{{wp|ja:寿司下駄|sushi geta}}'' (wooden serving tray for sushi).

Dondozo is [[List of Pokémon by height|one of the biggest Pokémon]] ever discovered, and is a heavy eater. Although powerful, Dondozo is dull and not very good at hunting, so it teams up with {{p|Tatsugiri}} to catch prey. The Tatsugiri would bait their prey by playing dead, and then commands Dondozo to attack. Dondozo is loyal to Tatsugiri and acts as its subordinate, protecting it inside its mouth from enemies. {{p|Basculin}} is among the species Dondozo preys upon.

Dondozo is the [[signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Order Up}}.

A {{pkmn2|giant}} Dondozo, together with a giant Tatsugiri, are both known as the False Dragon Titan, one of the [[Titan Pokémon]] found in the [[Paldea]] region.

==Trivia==
* Dondozo is the [[list of Pokémon by height|tallest Pokémon]] introduced in [[Generation IX]].
* Dondozo and its {{Shiny}} coloration were designed by [[James Turner]].<ref>[https://twitter.com/JamesTurner_42/status/1634814245027172352 James Turner on Twitter]</ref><ref>[https://twitter.com/JamesTurner_42/status/1634841181858459648 James Turner on Twitter]</ref>

===Origin===
Dondozo seems to be based on the {{wp|wels catfish}}, a large species of {{wp|catfish}} that is native to Europe and was introduced to Spain. Its {{Shiny}} coloration resembles an {{wp|albino}} wels catfish. The presence of bird Pokémon in Dondozo's diet may be inspired by the wels catfish's hunting behavior, as some individuals have been known to successfully hunt terrestrial birds by beaching themselves. Dondozo may also be based on a {{wp|sushi}} chef, considering its relationship with {{p|Tatsugiri}}, the frills on its head which resemble a bandana or headband commonly worn as part of a sushi chef's uniform, and its tongue which resembles a ''{{wp|ja:寿司下駄|sushi geta}}''. Its face also somewhat resembles that of a {{wp|smooth-head blobfish}}.

Dondozo keeping Tatsugiri inside its mouth may be a reference to {{wp|Mouthbrooder|mouthbrooding}}, a parenting style performed by many species of fish–including some catfish species–where the parent fish will keep their offspring safe by holding them inside their mouth. Dondozo's low smarts and larger size compared to Tatsugiri, combined with their synergy together, seem to reference the common [https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/BrainsAndBrawn "Brains and Brawn" team-up] trope in media. Tatsugiri acting as the boss supports this, as the "Brains" is most often the leader in these team-ups.

====Name origin====
Dondozo may be a combination of ''don'' (Spanish for lord) and どうぞ ''dōzo'' (Japanese for "please (help yourself)"; typically said when offering something). ''Don'' also refers to a crime boss, which may allude to Dondozo's relationship with Tatsugiri, who acts as its {{wp|consigliere}}. It may also derive from ''bozo'', in reference to Dondozo's dimwitted nature.

Heyrusher may be a combination of へいらっしゃい ''heirasshai'' ("Hey, come on in"; typically said by sushi restaurant chefs when greeting customers) and the agentive suffix ～者 ''-sha'' or ''-er''. It may also refer to {{wp|Rusher Itamae}}, a Japanese comedian. 板前 ''Itamae'' is a Japanese word referring to a chef of traditional Japanese cuisine, and can refer to a sushi chef.

The '''Magikarp salesman''' (Japanese: '''コイキング売り''' ''Koiking salesman'') is a con man who is always getting people, usually [[James]], to buy one of his worthless {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}.

==In the anime==
===In the main series===
====History====
[[File:Young Magikarp salesman.png|thumb|left|The Magikarp salesman in his youth]]
His first appearance in the anime was on the [[S.S. Anne|St. Anne]] in ''[[EP015|Battle Aboard the St. Anne]]'' selling {{p|Magikarp}} to anyone foolish enough to buy one. He would tell them that they would reproduce and make the buyer rich. [[James]] was foolish enough to buy one which later [[evolution|evolved]] into a {{DL|List of Pokémon temporarily owned by the Team Rocket trio|Gyarados}}. Some time after he appeared with the same "selling strategy" in ''[[EP146|Tricks of the Trade]]'' and ''[[EP201|Doin' What Comes Natu-rally]]''. Later, in ''[[EP261|Here's Lookin' at You, Elekid]]'', he would trade his [[List of Pokémon temporarily owned by the Team Rocket trio#Victreebel|Weepinbell]] for [[James's Victreebel]]. He has also appeared in [[Hoenn]], selling {{DL|List of Pokémon temporarily owned by the Team Rocket trio|Hoppip}} disguised as {{p|Chimecho}} when James was searching for a Chimecho. He was also selling Magikarp disguised as {{p|Feebas}} for a {{an|Spoink}}'s [[Valuable item#Pearl and Big Pearl|pearl]] which {{TRT}} stole. Both of them were successfully sold to Team Rocket.

He tried his golden Magikarp scam on {{Tracey}} in ''[[SS004|Showdown at the Oak Corral]]'' claiming that the Magikarp could lay golden {{pkmn|Egg}}s. However, unlike Team Rocket, Tracey was too smart to fall for this trick. The Magikarp Salesman ran off when he discovered that he had knocked on the door of [[Professor Oak's Laboratory]].

He made a cameo when {{Ash}} {{pkmn2|caught|captured}} {{AP|Aipom}} in ''[[AG182|Channeling the Battle Zone]]''.

His latest major appearance was in ''[[DP021|Ya See We Want An Evolution!]]''. He sold an Evolution machine/Mecha-bot to Team Rocket. While he did inform Team Rocket that the machine must warm up for at least a week before use, Team Rocket forgot to follow his instructions, which resulted in failure in evolving Pokémon and sustaining its Mecha-bot form. Therefore, it is unknown if this was another one of his scams, or if the machine would truly have worked. However, considering he ran off after telling them, it may have been another lie to keep them from following him.

He made a cameo appearance in ''[[BW116|The Fires of a Red-Hot Reunion!]]'', being one of the many people seen at the [[Kanto Fair]] that Ash and his friends were visiting.

====Personality and charasteristics====
He is the main reason why Jessie has a {{TP|Jessie|Wobbuffet}}. In ''[[EP146|Tricks of the Trade]]'', he tries to sell a Magikarp to James, but James recognizes him as the one who tricked him into buying a Magikarp on the St. Anne and chases after him, causing him to bump into Jessie, which sends her flying over to the trading machine. When she bumped into it, the Poké Ball containing her {{TP|Jessie|Lickitung}} fell onto the trading machine, trading it with {{jo|Benny}}'s Wobbuffet, which he was trying to trade throughout the episode.

|desc=The Magikarp salesman, as his title implies, has a large amount of these {{p|Magikarp}} to sell to [[James|foolish customers]] for ridiculously high prices. He usually manages to sell them by telling the customer that he or she could sell the Magikarp hatched from this Magikarp's {{pkmn|Egg}}s, as well as Magikarp hatched from ''those'' Magikarp's eggs and so forth, resulting in the potential customer getting rich. In reality, however, Magikarp is a completely useless Pokémon which cannot provide riches to anyone except for the Magikarp salesman himself, due to the ridiculous prices at which he sells his Magikarp.

Sometimes the Magikarp salesman has also tried to sell his Magikarp by disguising them as {{p|Feebas}} and telling to the customer that it would evolve into {{p|Milotic}}, the most beautiful Pokémon in the world. Oddly, he has never tried any sort of similar tactic with selling Magikarp as is, by informing the customer that it would evolve into the powerful {{p|Gyarados}}. In ''[[DP021|Ya See We Want an Evolution!]]'' he also tried to offer some special gifts for the customer if he or she buys a Magikarp.}}

[[File:Magikarp salesman FRLG.png|thumb|200px|The Magikarp salesman in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}]]
In {{game2|Red|Blue|Yellow}}, as well as the [[remake]]s {{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}}, the Magikarp salesman appears in {{rt|4|Kanto}}'s [[Pokémon Center]] and sells the {{player}} a {{p|Magikarp}} for {{PDollar}}500. He does not offer a refund.

Though he does not make an appearance, the Magikarp salesman is briefly alluded to in {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}, as well as the remakes of {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}. In the [[Poké Mart]] in [[Pewter City]] (which is adjacent to Route 4), a boy will offer to show his {{p|Gyarados}} to anyone who speaks to him. Speaking to a girl nearby causes her to remark how the boy had purchased a Magikarp from a "weird old man" three years prior, and trained until it evolved into a Gyarados.

In {{4v|Black|White|2}}, the Magikarp salesman appears again on [[Marvelous Bridge]] to sell a Magikarp for {{PDollar}}500. However, unlike in Kanto, Magikarp are not native to [[Unova]] and can only be found in the [[Nature Preserve]]{{sup/5|B2W2}}.

==Trivia==
* The Magikarp salesman was given a Hispanic accent in all of the dubbed episodes except for ''[[SS004|Showdown at the Oak Corral]]'' and ''[[BW116|The Fires of a Red-Hot Reunion!]]'' where he speaks without an accent. This may have been an oversight of both the [[Pokémon Chronicles]] and [[The Pokémon Company International]] production teams, since after TPCi took over the dub, his Hispanic accent returned only in ''[[DP021|Ya See We Want an Evolution!]]''.
* In most of the Magikarp salesman's appearances, the Team Rocket Trio ends up losing and gaining a Pokémon:
** In ''[[EP015|Battle Aboard the St. Anne]]'', James gains a Magikarp and loses it soon after.
** In ''[[EP146|Tricks of the Trade]]'', Jessie loses her {{TP|Jessie|Lickitung}} and gains a {{TP|Jessie|Wobbuffet}}.
** In ''[[EP261|Here's Lookin' at You, Elekid!]]'', James loses his {{TP|James|Victreebel}} but gains a {{p|Weepinbell}} that evolves into another {{p|Victreebel}} (and loses that one soon after).
** In ''[[AG079|Pearls are a Spoink's Best Friend]]'', Jessie gains and loses a {{p|Magikarp}} after thinking it was a {{p|Feebas}}.
** In ''[[AG084|Who's Flying Now?]]'', James gains a {{p|Hoppip}} and loses it soon after (he also gains a {{TP|James|Chimecho}} in the same episode).
* [[Trade]]s often occur in episodes that the Magikarp salesman appears in.

'''Genesect''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ゲノセクト''' ''Genesect'') is a dual-type {{2t|Bug|Steel}} [[legendary Pokémon]]. Along with {{p|Keldeo}} and {{p|Meloetta}}, Genesect has not been officially revealed by Nintendo.

It is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon, though the light on its Photon Blaster [[Form differences#Genesect|changes color]] and the type of its [[signature move]] {{m|Techno Blast}} changes depending on the [[Drive]] it is [[Held item|holding]].
* When it is not holding any Drive, the light is orange, and Techno Blast is {{type2|Normal}}.
* When it is holding the {{DL|Drive|Burn Drive}}, the light turns red, and Techno Blast is {{type2|Fire}}.
* When it is holding the {{DL|Drive|Douse Drive}}, the light turns blue, and Techno Blast is {{type2|Water}}.
* When it is holding the {{DL|Drive|Shock Drive}}, the light turns yellow, and Techno Blast is {{type2|Electric}}.
* When it is holding the {{DL|Drive|Chill Drive}}, the light turns white, and Techno Blast is {{type2|Ice}}.

It is currently the final Pokémon in both the [[List of Pokémon by Unova Pokédex number|Unova Pokédex]] and the [[List of Pokémon by National Pokédex number|National Pokédex]].

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Genesect has a purple metal body with a UFO-shaped head, two large red eyes and a small white part that could either be its mouth or a vent. Its body is similar to {{p|Scizor}}, but more articulate. It has a powerful cannon (named in the {{m|Techno Blast}} move as Photon Blaster) on its back that was apparently added as part of the bizarre modifications made to it by [[Team Plasma]]. It could possibly be a sort of cyborg, due to its given enhancements and Steel-typing.

====Gender differences====
Genesect is genderless.

===Special abilities===
Being modified by Team Plasma, Genesect is equipped with a powerful cannon that can shoot down everything around it. It is the [[signature move|only Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Techno Blast}}, which changes its type of blast depending on the [[Drive]] it holds. Genesect's cannon also give Genesect the ability to learn a variety of projectile-based moves like {{m|Zap Cannon}}, {{m|Energy Ball}}, or {{m|Flash Cannon}} or beam-based moves like {{m|Ice Beam}}, {{m|Hyper Beam}}, and {{m|Signal Beam}}. Genesect's sharp claws also allow it to learn moves like {{m|Fury Cutter}} and {{m|Slash}}. Genesect can also utilize {{type|Flying}} moves like {{m|Fly}} and {{m|Aerial Ace}}. It is indicated that even before Team Plasma powered up Genesect, it was a skilled and ruthless hunter.

===Behavior===

===Habitat===

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

==History==
Genesect was revived from a [[Fossil]] and technology-enhanced by [[Team Plasma]] to create the most powerful Pokémon ever, but [[N]] had the project cancelled and the [[P2 Laboratory]] closed because he felt that Pokémon modified by science, who he thought to be perfect beings, lose their natural beauty. 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.

==Trivia==
* Genesect is currently the last Pokémon in [[National Pokédex]] order.
* Genesect has the highest base stat total of all Bug-type Pokémon.
* Genesect is the only {{type|Bug}} [[legendary Pokémon]], excluding {{p|Arceus}} holding the {{DL|Plate|Insect Plate}}.
* Genesect's backstory is similar to {{p|Mewtwo}}'s; both were created by [[villainous teams]] in at least one canon, and genetically engineered and enhanced to be more powerful.
** Unlike Mewtwo, however, the unaltered form of Genesect is unknown.
* Genesect is the only Pokémon which names a [[Villainous teams|villainous team]] in its Pokédex entry, in this case, Team Plasma.
* Genesect can learn {{m|Fly}}, despite having no visible wings or known method of flight.
** It is one of only two {{type|Bug}} Pokémon that can learn Fly. The other is {{p|Volcarona}}.
*** Neither of these Pokémon are {{type|Flying}}, nor can they have the ability {{a|Levitate}}, and were both introduced in Generation V.
** Genesect is the only Pokémon which ends a [[generation]] in National Pokédex order that is not {{type|Psychic}} in at least one [[Form differences|form]].
* Of the Generation V event legendary Pokémon, Genesect is the only one that does not have an event [[signature move]]. {{p|Victini}}, {{p|Keldeo}} and {{p|Meloetta}} obtain their respective signature moves through events, whereas Genesect has {{m|Techno Blast}} as a starting move.
* Despite its [[Pokédex]] entries stating that it is a resurrected prehistoric Pokémon, it is not a {{type|Rock}} like most [[fossil]] Pokémon. This is most likely due to the modifications made to it by [[Team Plasma]], which set it apart from the fossil Pokémon that can be resurrected by the {{player}}.
* Despite it being its [[signature move]], Genesect cannot receive STAB from {{m|Techno Blast}}.
* Genesect's different sprites are not recognized as [[form differences]] by the Pokédex. {{p|Arceus}} shares the same distinction.

===Origin===
Genesect is generally based on the giant insects of the {{wp|Paleozoic}} era, which existed for 300 million 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 in science fiction media, however this may be because of Team Plasma's modifications. Its design is also possibly inspired from the "Artillery Mech" concept used in various {{wp|science fiction|Sci-Fi}} {{wp|mecha|animes}} produced in Japan.

====Name origin====
Genesect's name may be a combination of the English words ''{{wp|gene}}'', ''{{wp|genetics}}'', ''{{wp|genome}}'', ''{{wp|genesis}}'', and/or ''{{wp|insect}}''.

The '''Magikarp salesman''' (Japanese: '''コイキング売り''' ''Koiking salesman'') is a con man who is always getting people, usually [[James]], to buy one of his worthless {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}.

==In the anime==
His first appearance in the anime was on the [[S.S. Anne|St. Anne]] in ''[[EP015|Battle Aboard the St. Anne]]'' selling {{p|Magikarp}} to anyone foolish enough to buy one. He would tell them that they would reproduce and make the buyer rich. [[James]] was foolish enough to buy one which later [[evolution|evolved]] into a {{DL|List of Pokémon temporarily owned by Team Rocket|Gyarados}}. Some time after he appeared with the same "selling strategy" in ''[[EP146|Tricks of the Trade]]'' and ''[[EP201|Doin' What Comes Natu-rally]]''. Later, in ''[[EP261|Here's Lookin' at You, Elekid]]'', he would trade his [[List of Pokémon temporarily owned by Team Rocket#Victreebel|Weepinbell]] for [[James's Victreebel]]. He has also appeared in [[Hoenn]], selling a {{DL|List of Pokémon temporarily owned by Team Rocket|Hoppip}} disguised as {{p|Chimecho}} when James was searching for a Chimecho, and also selling Magikarp disguised as a {{p|Feebas}} for a {{an|Spoink}}'s [[Valuable item#Pearl and Big Pearl|pearl]] which [[Team Rocket]] stole. Both of them were successfully sold to Team Rocket.

He tried his golden Magikarp scam on {{Tracey}} in ''[[SS004|Showdown at the Oak Corral]]'' claiming that the Magikarp could lay golden {{pkmn|egg}}s. However, unlike Team Rocket, Tracey was too smart to fall for this trick. The Magikarp Salesman ran off when he discovered that he had knocked on the door of [[Professor Oak's Laboratory]].

He made a cameo when {{Ash}} {{pkmn2|caught|captured}} {{TP|Dawn|Aipom|Ambipom}} in ''[[AG182|Channeling the Battle Zone]]''.

His latest appearance was in ''[[DP021|Ya See We Want An Evolution!]]''. He sold an Evolution machine/Mecha-bot to Team Rocket. While he did inform Team Rocket that the machine must warm up for at least a week before use, Team Rocket forgot to follow his instructions, which resulted in failure in evolving Pokémon and sustaining its Mecha-bot form. Therefore, it is unknown if this was another one of his scams, or if the machine would truly have worked. However, considering he ran off after telling them, it may have been another lie to keep them from following him.

He is the main reason why Jessie has a {{TP|Jessie|Wobbuffet}}. In ''[[EP146|Tricks of the Trade]]'', he tries to sell a Magikarp to James, but James recognizes him as the one who tricked him into buying a Magikarp on the St. Anne, and chases after him, causing him to bump into Jessie, which sends her flying over to the trading machine. When she bumped into it, the Poké Ball containing her {{TP|Jessie|Lickitung}} fell onto the trading machine, trading it with {{jo|Benny}}'s Wobbuffet, which he was trying to trade throughout the episode.

He usually manages to sell them by telling the customer that he or she could sell the Magikarp hatched from this Magikarp's {{pkmn|egg}}s, and Magikarp hatched from ''those'' Magikarp's eggs and so forth, resulting in the potential customer getting rich. In reality, however, Magikarp is a completely useless Pokémon which cannot provide riches to anyone except for the Magikarp salesman himself, due to the ridiculous prices at which he sells his Magikarp.

Sometimes the Magikarp salesman has also tried to sell his Magikarp by disguising them as {{p|Feebas}} and telling to the customer that it would evolve into {{p|Milotic}}, the most beautiful Pokémon in the world. Oddly, he has never tried any sort of similar tactic with selling Magikarp as is, by informing the customer that it would evolve into the powerful {{p|Gyarados}}. In ''[[DP021|Ya See We Want an Evolution!]]'' he also tried to offer some special gifts for the customer if he or she buys a Magikarp.

==In the games==
In {{game2|Red|Blue|Yellow}}, as well as the [[remake]]s {{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}}, the Magikarp salesman appears in {{rt|4|Kanto}}'s [[Pokémon Center]] and sells the {{player}} a {{p|Magikarp}} for {{PDollar}}500. He does not offer a refund.

The Magikarp salesman is briefly mentioned in both {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}, as well as the remakes of {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, though he does not make an appearance. In the Pokemon Center in Pewter City (which is adjacent to Route 4), a boy will offer to show his Gyarados to anyone who speaks to him. Speaking to a girl nearby will cause her to remark how the boy had purchased a Magikarp from a "weird old man" three years prior, and trained until it evolved into a Gyarados.

In {{game|Black and White|s}}, the Magikarp salesman appears again on [[Wonder Bridge]] to sell a Magikarp for {{PDollar}}500. Unlike in Kanto, Magikarp are not native to [[Unova]].

==Trivia==
*The Magikarp salesman was given a Hispanic accent in all of the dubbed episodes except for ''[[SS004|Showdown at the Oak Corral]]'' where he speaks without an accent. This may have been an oversight of the [[Pokémon Chronicles]] production team, as after [[The Pokémon Company International|Pokémon USA]] took over the dubbing, his Hispanic accent returned in ''[[DP021|Ya See We Want an Evolution]]''.

'''Ash's Pikachu''' (Japanese: '''サトシのピカチュウ''' ''Satoshi's Pikachu'') was the [[starter Pokémon|first Pokémon]] obtained by {{Ash}} on his journey as a [[Pokémon Trainer]]. His universal voice actress is [[Ikue Ohtani]]. However, in some episodes during the first season of the English dub series, [[Rachael Lillis]] provided Pikachu's voice when the original Japanese track couldn't be saved.

==History==
[[File:First Meeting.png‎|200px|left|thumb|{{Ash}} and Pikachu meeting for the first time]]
In the first episode of the [[Pokémon anime]], ''[[EP001|Pokémon - I Choose You!]]'', Ash woke up late the day he was supposed to go to [[Professor Oak]]'s laboratory to obtain his first Pokémon. When he arrived at the lab, the three available starter Pokémon, {{p|Bulbasaur}}, {{p|Charmander}}, and {{p|Squirtle}}, had already been taken by other Trainers who arrived earlier. Seeing that Ash was disappointed, Professor Oak gave him Pikachu, which did not take a liking to his new Trainer, constantly zapping him and anyone else nearby. He refused to go into its [[Poké Ball]], and when Ash failed to catch a wild Pokémon, he laughed at him. However, by the end of the episode, Ash gained Pikachu's trust by protecting him from an attack by a flock of {{p|Spearow}} and rushing him to the [[Pokémon Center]]. Pikachu and Ash soon became inseparable. In ''[[EP039|Pikachu's Goodbye]]'', Ash gave Pikachu his consent to remain in a forest filled with Pikachu, but Pikachu decided to stay by Ash's side.

[[File:Ash 1st Poke Ball.png|thumb|right|200px|The Poké Ball Professor Oak stored Pikachu in has a special lightning bolt mark. This Poké Ball has never been owned by Ash as he uses a regular Poké Ball to try to recall Pikachu, and the other three Poké Balls that held Bulbasaur, Charmander, and Squirtle were still on the podium but empty, implying that Pikachu's first Poké Ball has been left empty as well.]]
In general, Pikachu as a species are not particularly powerful, but Ash's Pikachu is an anomaly, overcoming odds in {{pkmn|battle}} numerous times. In ''[[EP005|Showdown in Pewter City]]'', he defeated [[Brock's Steelix|Brock's Onix]] with an {{type2|Electric}} attack that triggered the sprinkler system causing Onix to be drenched in water, one of its weaknesses. In ''[[EP014|Electric Shock Showdown]]'', Pikachu fought [[Lt. Surge]]'s {{TP|Lt. Surge|Raichu}} and lost. During a resulting hospital stay, he refused to become Raichu's equal by evolving via a {{evostone|Thunderstone}}, and in the second battle, Pikachu overcame Raichu by using his superior speed. The same situation happened in ''[[DP074|Pika and Goliath!]]'' where Pikachu reaffirmed its decision not to evolve. In ''[[EP002|Pokémon Emergency!]]'', {{MTR}} remarked that Pikachu's power "far exceeds its evolutionary level". Ash's Pikachu has also defeated very powerful Pokémon that Ash's other Pokémon were unable to, such as {{p|Dragonite}} and {{p|Metagross}}. He has helped Ash win innumerable battles and [[Gym]] and {{pkmn|League}} matches.

However, at times, {{p|Pikachu}} has lived up to his species' frail and brittle strengths, particularly in Gym battles where he was defeated with relative ease by his opponent; for example, he was overpowered very easily by [[Lt. Surge's Raichu]], [[Sabrina's Kadabra]], [[Blaine's Magmar]], [[Bugsy]]'s {{p|Scyther}}, [[Whitney's Miltank]], [[Roark's Rampardos]], [[Fantina's Drifblim]], and [[Corn]]'s {{p|Panpour}}. He also drew against [[Winona]]'s {{p|Pelipper}} and [[Norman]]'s {{p|Vigoroth}}, and struggled against [[Crasher Wake]]'s {{p|Floatzel}}. Furthermore, he has lost twice to Shooti's Janovy, despite Shooti being a starting trainer and recently having obtained Janovy.
[[File:Ash with Pikachu.png|thumb|left|Ash and Pikachu, as seen in the original artwork]]
Pikachu is extremely loyal to Ash, and while he is not always immediately trusting of strangers, he is generally friendly to humans and Pokémon alike. He acted as a guardian and big brother to [[Misty's Togepi]], and has been seen mediating and even breaking up fights among other Pokémon, such as in ''[[PK01|Pikachu's Vacation]]''. In ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'', Pikachu, {{MTR}}, and Meowth's clone were the only Pokémon not to participate in the giant battle; Pikachu stood motionless as his clone repeatedly slapped his face. Contrary to his distrusting nature, Pikachu took a liking to Misty very early in the series, and he has retained this liking of Misty throughout the series, such as when he was very happy to see her in ''[[AG132|The Scheme Team]]''.

However, even Pikachu has had exceptions to this rule. In ''[[EP086|Pikachu Re-Volts]]'', Pikachu was controlled by Butch and Cassidy, which caused him to become evil and disobey Ash's commands. During the Hoenn saga, Pikachu [[AG089|developed amnesia at one point]] and sided with [[Team Rocket]] for a while. Later within the same series, Pikachu was possessed by the Red Orb and controlled by Groudon, nearly causing a disaster. On several occasions, Pikachu has developed an "electric flu" causing him to become overcharged, and extremely powerful. During these instances, Pikachu will sometimes attack his friends, including Ash. In all of these cases, Pikachu did not intentionally mean harm upon anyone.

Since Ash's first encounter with [[Team Rocket]] in ''[[EP002|Pokémon Emergency!]]'', Pikachu has been pursued by the trio of [[Jessie]], [[James]], and {{MTR}}. Throughout the series, it has been Jessie, James and Meowth's desire to steal this Pokémon from Ash and present him to [[Giovanni|their boss]]. To do this, they have come up with many schemes. Though they have tried and continue to try hundreds of times, every last one of their plots fail, usually with the help of Ash, his friends, other Trainers, an [[Officer Jenny]], or even themselves (such as in the [[DP001|first episode]] of the {{series|Diamond & Pearl}}).
[[File:Pikachu Bad Mood.png|thumb|240px|right|Pikachu in a bad mood.]]
As shown in a handful of episodes, the first being ''[[EP042|Showdown at Dark City]]'', Pikachu has a special fondness for ketchup, but he will eat and enjoy almost any other human or Pokémon food. A running joke in the anime also seems to be the destruction of a female character's [[bike]] with one of Pikachu's {{m|Thunderbolt}}s at the beginning of each series, which then causes her to {{ashfr|follow Ash}} for the remainder of the series. This has happened to {{an|Misty}}, {{an|May}}, and {{an|Dawn}} so far, but did not happen to {{an|Iris}}.

Pikachu is the primary mascot of the Pokémon franchise, mostly due to Ash's ownership of him. A Pikachu appears on nearly all merchandise and promotional material for the series, and became, due to the anime, the [[version mascot]] of and only [[starter Pokémon]] in {{game|Yellow}}.

Pikachu became the second non-legendary Pokémon to defeat a [[legendary Pokémon]] in the anime after {{AP|Charizard}}, beating {{FB|Pyramid King|Brandon}}'s {{DL|Brandon's Regis|Regice}} in ''[[AG190|Pace - The Final Frontier]]'', giving Ash his final [[Symbol|Frontier Symbol]].

Pikachu is the primary protagonist of several [[Pikachu shorts|short films]] that feature only Ash and his friends' Pokémon. He was seen helping {{p|Delibird}} collect his missing presents, helped to build the {{p|Snorlax}} snowman, helping to put up a Christmas tree and help reunite the baby {{p|Kangaskhan}} to its parent. It was also seen in a dream that {{an|Misty}} had.

Pikachu is also the only one of Ash's Pokémon to accompany him to the [[Hoenn]] and [[Unova]] regions, and was intended to be the only Pokémon to accompany him to [[Sinnoh]] before [[Dawn's Ambipom|Aipom]] was discovered to have stowed away on the ship Ash was taking. Up until the capture of [[Dawn's Pachirisu]], Pikachu was the only {{type2|Electric}} Pokémon in the anime owned by a main character.

Even with its high level of electrical power, Pikachu has not stopped learning new attacks. Upon learning that [[Roxanne]], the Rustboro Gym Leader used Rock-types, Ash had Pikachu begin learning [[Iron Tail]] in ''[[AG013|All Things Bright and Beautifly!]]''. After training hard, Pikachu finally perfected it in ''[[AG016|The Winner by a Nosepass]]'', where he used it to defeat Roxanne's {{p|Nosepass}} and earn Ash his first Hoenn badge. In addition to giving Pikachu an advantage over Rock-types, Iron Tail has allowed Pikachu to defeat many powerful opponents. In ''[[AG150|May's Egg-Cellent Adventure]]'', during a battle with Team Rocket, Ash ordered Pikachu to do a {{m|Quick Attack}}. Much to the surprise of Ash and his friends, the Quick Attack morphed into {{m|Volt Tackle}} which sent Team Rocket blasting off. Since then, it has become one of Pikachu's signature moves.

In Hoenn, Pikachu learned how to surf. He also learned how to punch from Ash in ''[[EP029|The Punchy Pokémon]]''. In Sinnoh, Ash used him during the [[Pokémon Ping Pong Tournament]].
[[File:PikachuStatic.png‎|250px|left|thumb|Pikachu activating his {{a|Static}} ability]]
In Sinnoh, he defeated [[Roark]]'s {{p|Onix}} in the [[Oreburgh Gym]] rematch. Pikachu battled again in the [[Pastoria Gym]] battle, where he battled [[Crasher Wake]]'s {{p|Gyarados}} and defeated it with a Volt Tackle to the face. He also battled [[Crasher Wake's Floatzel]] for a moment, allowing {{AP|Buizel}} time to recover. In ''[[DP102|Shield with a Twist!]]'', Pikachu lost to [[Fantina's Drifblim]] after a fierce battle.

Pikachu's next major battle after Fantina, was when he was used against [[Paul]] in ''[[DP132|Evolving Strategies!]]''. First he went up against {{TP|Paul|Magmortar}}; however, when he attacked with {{m|Quick Attack}}, he was {{status|burn}}ed by Magmortar's {{a|Flame Body}} and Pikachu was recalled. Later, he went up against Paul's very powerful {{TP|Paul|Ursaring}} and {{status|Paralysis|paralyzed}} it with {{a|Static}}. This actually made things worse for Pikachu as being paralyzed activated Ursaring's {{a|Guts}} ability, and Pikachu found himself completely outmatched by Ursaring's massive power and was defeated and thrown into [[Lake Acuity]], taking him out of the match as well as injuring him. This defeat meant that Ash had to defeat Paul's remaining five Pokémon with only {{AP|Chimchar}}.
[[File:Ash and his Pikachu.png|thumb|250px|Ash and Pikachu]]
Later, in ''[[DP165|Flint Sparks the Fire!]]'', Pikachu battled {{EF|Flint}}'s {{p|Infernape}}, but it was defeated after a long fight.

In ''[[DP179|The Eighth Wonder of the Sinnoh World!]]'', Pikachu battled against [[Volkner]]'s Electivire and won, giving him his first victory over a Pokémon in the Electabuzz evolutionary line. However, he was defeated by Volkner's {{p|Luxray}}.

In the [[Lily of the Valley Conference]], Ash used Pikachu in his battle against Paul in ''[[DP186|Familiarity Breeds Strategy!]]''. It was used against Paul's {{p|Aggron}}, where it put up a good fight and weakened Aggron before it was recalled in place of Infernape. Pikachu was also used in the continuation of Ash's battle against Paul in ''[[DP187|A Real Rival Rouser!]]''. It went against Paul's {{p|Froslass}} where he was seen having some trouble at first, but by the end, he was able to pull through and defeat Froslass with a powerful Volt Tackle attack. This gave Pikachu his first win against one of Paul's Pokémon and also gave Ash the lead in the battle. In ''[[DP188|Battling a Thaw in Relations!]]'', he battled Paul's Electivire, but had trouble due to Electivire's {{a|Motor Drive}} ability, and was soon defeated by a {{m|Brick Break}}. In ''[[DP189|The Semi-Final Frontier!]]'', Pikachu was the last Pokémon chosen by Ash to battle [[Tobias]] in the semi-finals. Despite Ash losing five of his Pokémon, Pikachu tried its best to defeat Tobias's {{p|Latios}}. Almost none of the attacks hit or did any damage to Latios in the beginning, however, Pikachu finally managed to jump on top of Latios and used Thunderbolt several times before he was shaken off. As Pikachu is about to land, Latios used Luster Purge. Pikachu used Volt Tackle and Iron Tail, taking against the force of the Luster Purge. However, it was tied with Latios as both fainted. As Ash's last Pokémon also fainted, Tobias was crowned the winner of their battle.

In [[BW001]], Pikachu had an encounter with {{p|Zekrom}}, which unaware by Ash, caused Pikachu to lose its ability to use Electric-type moves. Ash finally noticed this when it battled [[Shooti]]'s {{TP|Shooti|Snivy|Janovy}}, losing in the process. In [[BW002]], it regained its ability to use Electric-type attacks and was used in battle which lead to the capture of {{AP|Pidove}}. In [[BW005]], Ash used Pikachu in his gym battle at the [[Sanyou Gym]], where he faced [[Corn]] and his {{p|Panpour}}. Even though he tried his best, Pikachu was just not as fast as Panpour and was defeated without landing a single hit. In [[BW010]], he battled Shooti's {{p|Hatooboo}}, who had already taken out [[Ash's Oshawott]] and {{AP|Tepig}}. It took a beating from multiple Aerial Aces, but showed Shooti the power of its electrical attacks by defeating Hatooboo with Volt Tackle. It then battled Snivy again, who by then had evolved into Janovy. However, despite not being incapacitated, he was once again defeated. In [[BW013]], Ash used Pikachu in a battle against {{ga|Bianca}} and her {{p|Chaoboo}}. Even though he had some trouble at first, Pikachu was able to pull through in the end and defeat Chaoboo with a powerful {{m|Volt Tackle}}.

=====Moves improvised=====
[[File:Pikachu's Counter Shield.png|thumb|right|250px|Pikachu using Counter Shield]]
*'''Leer''' was first seen in ''[[EP009|The School of Hard Knocks]]''. When Giselle called for Cubone to use Leer, Ash told Pikachu to 'Leer right back' by making funny faces. Ash also told Pikachu to use Leer in ''[[EP150|Hour of the Houndour]]'', when a {{p|Houndour}} used its own Leer on Pikachu.

*An attack where Pikachu stored electricity in his tail similar to {{m|Slam}} was used to defeat [[Lt. Surge's Raichu]] in ''[[EP014|Electric Shock Showdown]]''. A similar move, referred to as "Shocking Tail" by the MC, was used to defeat Drake's Ditto in ''[[EP111|Hello Pummelo!]]''.

*'''Rocket Punch''' was a move that Pikachu used while "boxing" {{ka|Anthony}}'s {{p|Hitmonchan}} in ''[[EP029|The Punchy Pokémon]]''. Pikachu glowed red and shot off his boxing gloves, leaving off a trail of smoke. Once the smoke disappears, Pikachu still has his boxing gloves on and flies towards Hitmonchan at high speed.
[[File:Pikachu Volt Tail.png|thumb|right|250px|Pikachu using Volt Tail]]
*'''Thunder Armor''' was a one-time technique in the episode ''[[AG100|Solid as a Solrock]]'', Pikachu is seen using Thunder on himself while riding Ash's Swellow. This increased their attack power greatly, and they easily overpowered their opponents.

*'''Spin''', originally made by {{an|Dawn}} and first used by her Piplup and Buneary, was also used by Turtwig and Aipom in the episode ''[[DP018|O'er the Rampardos We Watched!]]'', where he was able beat Roark and obtain the Coal Badge.

*'''Volt Tail''', a combination of {{m|Volt Tackle}} and {{m|Iron Tail}}, was used in ''[[DP074|Pika and Goliath!]]'' against [[Sho]]'s {{p|Raichu}} and once again in ''[[DP189|The Semi-Final Frontier!]]'' against [[Tobias]]'s {{p|Latios}}.

*'''[[Counter Shield]]''' can be used by Pikachu by utilizing {{m|Thunderbolt}}, similar to [[Ash's Buizel]] and {{AP|Infernape}} who can do the technique with their own moves.

*'''Hydro Volt Tackle''' is used as a finishing blow against [[Team Rocket]] in ''[[DP191|Memories are Made of Bliss!]]''. It is a combination of Pikachu's {{m|Volt Tackle}} and [[Dawn's Piplup]]'s {{m|Hydro Pump}} creating a massive Electric-Water shot.

{{bulbanews|Satoshi's Pikachu to be distributed via Wi-Fi}}
{{bulbanews|Toys 'R' Us to distribute Ash's Pikachu}}
Pikachu was one of {{Ash}}'s three Pokémon in {{g|Puzzle League}}. The Pikachu in the Super Smash Bros. series may be based on Ash's Pikachu.

In the main series, {{ga|Red's Pikachu}} is noticeably based on Ash's Pikachu: not only does {{ga|Red}} receive it from Professor Oak after his rival, Oak's grandson, takes the last starter Pokémon, but in {{game|Yellow}}, it [[walking Pokémon|follows Red around]] rather than being kept in a Poké Ball. In [[Generation II]] and {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, Pikachu is the highest-leveled member of Red's team when he is encountered at Mt. Silver, and the highest leveled Pokémon owned by a Trainer in the entire series excluding battle arenas. His moves, notably in HeartGold and SoulSilver, are the four moves used most recently by Ash's Pikachu, as well.

A Japanese event distributed an in-game representation of Ash's Pikachu via Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection and at participating Japanese {{wp|McDonald}}'s locations which was held from July 15th through August 10, 2010. This Pikachu will soon be distributed at participating American {{wp|Toys 'R' Us}} locations from January 30 to February 13, 2011.

===In the Ash and Pikachu manga===
Ash's Pikachu is a starring character in the [[Ash and Pikachu]] {{pkmn|manga}} series, which is based on the [[Johto]] saga of the Pokémon anime.

===In the Electric Tale of Pikachu manga===
[[File:Ash Pikachu EToP.png|thumb|right|Ash's Pikachu in The Electric Tale of Pikachu]]
Ash's Pikachu is a starring character in the {{pkmn|manga}} series
[[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]], which is loosely based on the Pokémon anime. Pikachu appears in every chapter of the manga.

Like in the anime, Pikachu was Ash's first Pokémon. However, Ash did not receive Pikachu from [[Professor Oak]] - instead, he finds Pikachu under the floorboards of his home, chewing on wires to eat the electricity. His [[Delia Ketchum|mother]] asks him to take Pikachu outside, but when [[Gary Oak]] taunts Ash about how he has not yet become a [[Pokémon Trainer]], Ash decides to keep Pikachu as his first Pokémon.

Like in the anime, Pikachu was originally unwilling to obey Ash, but after Ash protects Pikachu from a herd of wild {{p|Spearow}} and {{AP|Fearow}}, Pikachu gains respect for Ash, and after Ash defeats Brock, he is named Jean Luc Pikachu.

Later on, when Ash is in a gym battle with Misty, Pikachu is petrified by the sight of her Gyarados and does not battle, while in his gym battle with Sabrina, it is easily bested by her Abra.

Pikachu likes {{an|Misty}} and greets her enthusiastically whenever she appears, often ignoring Ash in the process.

==Trivia==
[[File:Pikachu loves ketchup.png|200px|thumb|right|Pikachu and his love of ketchup]]
* Ash's Pikachu is the subject of many 'gamebreaking' abilities that normally do not fit in the general stasis of the games. This includes Pikachu's ability to sometimes hurt {{type2|Ground}} Pokémon with Electric moves (sparking the meme "Aim for the Horn!"), and using moves that do not exist, or moves in a way that do not work in the games, such as the infamous "Thunder Armor".
* Despite the fact that {{m|Volt Tackle}}, the signature move of his evolutionary line, is in fact an egg move, Ash's Pikachu learned the move "by accident," when using an electrically-charged {{m|Quick Attack}}.
* Pikachu is Ash's only {{type2|Electric}} Pokémon and was the only Electric-type owned by a main character in the anime until the capture of {{TP|Dawn|Pachirisu}} by Dawn. However, Pikachu is the only Electric-type Pokémon owned by a main character that can evolve.
* For ''[[DP013|A Staravia is Born]]'', [[Professor Oak's lecture]] is about Ash's Pikachu. He writes this [[Pokémon senryū]] about him: パートナー　サトシとピカチュウ　いいかんじ ''Partners Satoshi and Pikachu: a pleasant feeling''.
* Out of all six regions that Ash visited, [[Kanto]], [[Hoenn]] and [[Unova]] are the only ones that Ash started out with just Pikachu. He did try to go to [[Sinnoh]] with Pikachu alone but Aipom followed him. At the beginning of all three, Pikachu was also, in some way, injured, and in the case of Kanto, Hoenn, and Sinnoh, ended up destroying the [[Bicycle|bike]] of a particular girl who would later [[Ash's friends|travel with Ash]].
** Coincidentally, the three regions he started with only Pikachu were all from odd-numbered generations.
* Pikachu was the first of Ash's Pokémon to disobey him. Other Pokémon that would do so, and be better remembered for their disobedience than Pikachu, are {{AP|Primeape}} and {{AP|Charizard}}.
* Ash's act of keeping Pikachu [[Walking Pokémon|outside his Poké Ball]] on a permanent basis has been mimicked by several other characters in the anime.
** [[Ritchie]], when he first meets Ash, keeps [[Sparky]] inside of its ball, but later is shown to carry it on his shoulder much like Ash does.
** {{an|Misty}} never put {{TP|Misty|Togepi}} inside a Poké Ball and was always shown carrying it in her arms.
** Dawn, likewise, does the same with her {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}}.
** {{an|Iris}} also does this with her {{TP|Iris|Axew}} and keeps it in her hair.
* Out of Ash's Pokémon, Pikachu was the first one to defeat a [[pseudo-legendary]] Pokémon during battle in the anime, defeating {{OBP|Drake|Orange League}}'s {{TP|Drake|Dragonite}} in ''[[EP112|Enter the Dragonite]]'' and {{ho|Tyson}}'s {{p|Metagross}} during the [[Ever Grande Conference]] of the Hoenn League in ''[[AG131|At the End of the Fray]]''. However, in both occasions, the two [[pseudo-legendary]] Pokémon had been weakened by other Pokémon in Ash's team at the time; {{AP|Squirtle}}, {{AP|Charizard}} and {{AP|Tauros}} had weakened {{TP|Drake|Dragonite}} while {{AP|Swellow}} and {{AP|Grovyle|Sceptile}} had weakened {{p|Metagross}}.
* Pikachu is the second Pokémon in the entire {{pkmn|anime}} series to have managed to defeat a [[legendary Pokémon]], which he did by defeating {{FB|Pyramid King|Brandon}}'s {{DL|Brandon's Regis|Regice}} in ''[[AG190|Pace - The Final Frontier!]]''. [[Ash's Charizard]] was the first Pokémon to have achieved this feat, against {{TP|Noland|Articuno}}. Pikachu also tied with Tobias's Latios in [[DP189]].
* Most of the moves Pikachu used in the [[original series]] were first used in an episode with the word ''showdown'' in its title.
* In ''[[EP030|Sparks Fly for Magnemite]]'', it was revealed that Pikachu has a fear of Ash leaving him.
[[File:PikachuDP.png|200px|thumb|right|Pikachu]]
* In many new episodes, Pikachu's tail sparks instead of his cheeks when using {{m|Thunderbolt}}.
* In ''[[DP142|Where No Togepi Has Gone Before!]]'' it was confirmed that Pikachu is male. When a {{p|Togepi}} used {{m|Attract}} on Pikachu, {{MTR}}, {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}}, {{TP|Brock|Croagunk}} and {{TP|Jessie|Yanmega}}, all but Yanmega were affected (coincidentally, this also revealed Yanmega as being female). Voice actress Ikue Ohtani stated prior to this episode that the writers had intended to keep Pikachu's gender ambiguous so the fanbase can connect with him more easily.
** Ash also referred to Pikachu as a male in the dub of ''[[EP086|Pikachu Re-Volts]]''. Shortly after [[Officer Jenny]] first arrives, Ash proclaims in dismay, "You just gotta find him, Officer Jenny!"
** Pikachu's gender can also be inferred from Buneary's infatuation with Pikachu, first seen in ''[[DP009|Setting the World on Its Buneary!]]''.
** His gender was also implied long before, in the Japanese version of ''[[EP017|Island of the Giant Pokémon]]'', where he refers to himself, {{AP|Charmander|Charizard}}, {{AP|Squirtle}} and {{AP|Bulbasaur}} as ぼくたち ''{{wp|Japanese pronouns|boku-tachi}}'', which is a male speaker-only pronoun meaning "we", also used by characters such as [[Max]] and {{an|Dent}} in the Japanese version.
* Pikachu was the only member of Ash's Sinnoh team that did not learn a new move in the Sinnoh region.
* It is the only Pokémon of Ash's to be used in every gym battle in a [[Johto|region]].
*In {{pmin|Latin America}}, Cartoon Network has a "Biografia Toon" segment, which consists of biographies and histories of cartoon characters. This segment has done a two-part feature on Ash's Pikachu. According to the segment, Pikachu is the result of an experiment conducted by [[Professor Oak]] and allegedly destroyed the lab where he was created in a momentary loss of control.
* ''[[DP170|An Elite Coverup!]]'' has been the only time when Ash does not use Pikachu against an [[Elite Four]] member.
*The defeat of [[Volkner]]'s {{p|Electivire}} marks the first time Pikachu has defeated a member of the {{p|Electabuzz}} evolutionary line one on one. All previous times it has either tied or lost, with the exception of [[Dr. Namba]]'s Electabuzz, where Pikachu teamed up with [[Ritchie]]'s Pikachu, [[Sparky]], to defeat it.
*Pikachu seems to have a talent for mimicking Pokémon, as seen from his performance during [[DP033|a cosplay competition]]. He will occasionally use pantomime to specify what he is talking about. He can contort his face and his ears to imitate {{Ash}}, his {{AP|Turtwig|Torterra}}, {{TP|Jessie|Wobbuffet}}, among others.
*Pikachu has also used his face to tell when a character is in trouble by imitating people and Pokémon.
* Pikachu is one of two Pokémon owned by Ash to have a [[baby Pokémon|baby form]] introduced in a generation after its capture, the other being {{AP|Snorlax}}.

===Pikachu's language===
Some of [[Pokémon language|Pikachu's speech]] is consistent enough that it seems that some phrases actually mean something. (In ''[[DP115|Stealing The Conversation]]'', [[Team Rocket]] refers to this language as "PikaSpeak," however, this most likely isn't official.) For instance, Pikachu always uses "Pikapi" when referring to Ash (notice that it sounds somewhat similar to "Satoshi"). Other speech includes:
*Pika Pikachu or Pika-Pika Pikachu: ''My name is Pikachu''. When Ash and his friends are introducing themselves to the [[characters of the day]], he says this.
[[File:Pikachu wobbuffet.png|200px|thumb|Pikachu as a {{p|Wobbuffet}} in ''[[DP033|All Dressed Up With Somewhere to Go!]]'']]
*Pi-Kachu: He says this during the sponsor spots in the original Japanese.
*Pikachu-Pi: ''{{an|Misty|Kasumi}}'' (Misty)
*Pika-Chu: ''{{an|Brock|Takeshi}}'' (Brock)
*Pikaka: ''{{an|Dawn|Hikari}}'' (Dawn)
[[File:Pikachu as ash.png|200px|thumb|left|Pikachu imitating {{Ash}} in ''[[EP110|The Stun Spore Detour]]'' ]]
*Pi?: Used when addressing something unknown. Can mean, "What?"
*PiPiPi: ''{{TP|Misty|Togepi}}'' (Togepi)
*PikakaPika: ''[[Ash's Bulbasaur|Fushigidane]]'' (Bulbasaur)
*PikaPika: ''[[Ash's Squirtle|Zenigame]]'' (Squirtle) or ''[[Ash's Staraptor|Mukuhawk]]'' (Staraptor) or ''[[Ash's Infernape|Goukazaru]]'' (Infernape)
*Pi-kachu: ''[[Dawn's Piplup|Pochama]]'' (Piplup)
*PiPi-kachu: ''[[Team Rocket|Rocket-dan]]'' (Team Rocket).
*Pi-Pikachu: ''[[Gotta catch 'em all!|Get da ze!]]'' He says this after Ash wins a badge, catches a new Pokémon or anything similar.
*Pi-ka: Used for multiple things such as "eiga" (movie) as seen during trailers for each upcoming [[Pokémon movie]]. Can also be used for "yes".
*Pi-ka-chu?: ''Are you alright?'': When a character or Pokémon is injured, Pikachu says this.
*Specific names for {{Tracey}}, {{an|May}}, and [[Max]] have not been heard.
[[File:Pikachu Imitating Turtwig.png|200px|thumb|right|Ash's Pikachu imitating his Turtwig to alert him that it is missing in ''[[DP044|Mass-Hip-Po-Sis!]]'']]

'''Volt Tackle''' (Japanese: '''ボルテッカー''' ''Volteccer'') is a damage-dealing {{type2|Electric}} [[move]] introduced in [[Generation III]]. It is the [[signature move]] of the {{p|Pichu}} [[Evolution|evolutionary]] line.

==Effect==
Volt Tackle inflicts damage, and the user receives [[recoil]] damage equal to 1/3 of the damage done to the target. This move has a 10% chance of {{status|Paralysis|paralyzing}} the target.

==Learnset==
===[[Generation III]]===
====By {{pkmn|breeding}}====
While Volt Tackle can be performed in ''any'' of the Generation III games, it can only be obtained via {{game|Emerald}} or later. There is only one method of obtaining Volt Tackle, which involves breeding a female {{p|Pikachu}} or {{p|Raichu}} holding a {{DL|Stat-enhancing item|Light Ball}} with any Pokémon in the same [[egg group]] (or breed a Pikachu or Raichu of any gender holding a Light Ball with a Ditto). If the Pikachu or Raichu and its mating partner are put into the daycare and they meet the [[Pokémon breeding|conditions]] to produce an egg, the hatched {{p|Pichu}} will have Volt Tackle.
Since this will not work in any game prior to Emerald, trading is the only (legitimate) way of obtaining Volt Tackle in an older game (like [[Sapphire]]).

====Special====
A {{p|Pikachu}} that knows Volt Tackle (as well as {{m|Surf}}) can be obtained from [[Pokémon Battle Revolution]] after beating all of the colosseums once. The move can also be obtained in the same way as in Generation III. Also, in [[Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver versions]] when the [[player]] goes to the shrine with a Pikachu-Colored Pichu, he/she will receive Spiky-eared Pichu, who comes knowing Volt Tackle.

==[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]==

In Super Smash Bros. Brawl, Volt Tackle is Pikachu's [[Final Smash]]. When used, Pikachu will be enveloped by a blue ball of electricity. The ball does major damage and can even pass through platforms, though it is very hard to control.

===Trophy information===
''"Pikachu, transformed into a ball of light that can slam into foes. It can also fly to chase down those who try to jump out of range. Sparks get stronger when you press the attack button. However, its increased inertia makes midair movement tough. If you get carried away flying, the effect will end, and you'll destroy yourself. Be careful it doesn't happen to you."''

==Trivia==
* Volt Tackle's Japanese name, ''Volteccer'', comes from an attack that [[List of references to Pulseman|Pulseman]], the protagonist of {{wp|Pulseman|a Game Freak game of the same name}}, could use. Both attacks are a reference to {{wp|Tekkaman}}, whose signature attack was also called Voltekka.
* Volt Tackle is the only move that causes [[recoil]] to have ever been a [[special move]], due to it being an Electric-type move introduced in [[Generation III]] (had {{m|Flare Blitz}} and {{m|Wood Hammer}} existed in Generation III, they would have been special as well).
*Volt Tackle is the only non-TM, non-move tutor move that cannot be learned via leveling up by any Pokémon.
*[[Ash's Pikachu]] simply learned Volt Tackle simply by accident. This is impossible, because only [[Pichu]], its pre-evolution, can legitmatley learn Volt Tackle.

== Add a quote from HGSS? ==
When you encounter Steven in HGSS, he mentoins that he couldn't have met you before, since all of the trainers that battle with him seem to look the same. Was wondering if this would be worthy of mentioning; it seemed interesting to me, at least, that he acknowledged the fact that all of us look the same in-game. [[User:Vhazhiphor|Vhazhiphor]] 06:27, 28 May 2010 (UTC)
:Rather than anything meta-related, I think it's more evidence of his aloofness - this, along with at the end of the Enigma Crystal event when he reveals that ''he hasn't even bothered to learn your name''. However, this could just be me fanwanking over the tiniest bits of information about my favorite character, so I'll just put that out there and let other, less biased people be the judge. :V [[User:Umeko|梅子]][[User talk:Umeko|❀]][[Special:Contributions/Umeko|✿]] 15:02, 28 May 2010 (UTC)

== NPC of Kanto? ==

In the tag listing the NPCs of Kanto and the Sevii Islands it includes Steven Stone. Shouldn't he be in NPCs of Hoenn? Because I'm sure he never appears in FRLG. [[User:Pawsrent|Pawsrent]] 16:13, 23 August 2010 (UTC)
:Have played HGSS?--[[User:Dennou Zenshi|でんのう]] ☢ [[User talk:Dennou Zenshi|'''Z'''えんし]] 16:16, 23 August 2010 (UTC)
::Oh, yeah, forgot about that. But they could make it a little bit clearer. [[User:Pawsrent|Pawsrent]] 20:21, 23 August 2010 (UTC)

== HG/SS ==

Steven still considers himself the Champion in these games. So would Brendan/May have already beaten him (I guess suggested by what he says?) since Gen II should take place afterwards, and where would Wallace and Emerald be in all of this?

Trade

2010-11-08T22:06:24Z

Aeon:

{{outdated}}
[[File:Trade Pt.png|frame|Trading confirmation screen in {{v2|Platinum}}]]
A '''trade''' is a process in which a [[Pokémon Trainer]] sends one of his or her {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} to another trainer in exchange for one of the other trainer's Pokémon. In every Pokémon game, trading is necessary to collect all Pokémon.

Starting from [[Generation II]], [[items]] can be attached to Pokémon when traded. Certain items, when held by the correct Pokémon, will trigger an evolution when traded to another player. [[Mail]] may also be attached to send a message.

==Benefits of trading==
[[File:Platinum trade.png|frame|Trading a Buizel for a Chatot in {{v2|Platinum}}]]
Trading is necessary in order to collect every Pokémon in the [[Pokédex]], as some Pokémon aren't available in each edition. For example, Meowth cannot be found in Pokémon Red, and the player must trade with someone who has a copy of Pokémon Blue. Some Pokémon only [[Evolution|evolve]] after being traded. Trading away a Pokémon will not remove its Pokédex entry.

Traded Pokémon gain 1.5× the normal [[experience]] after a [[Pokémon battle]]. Pokémon traded from another country will gain 1.7× experience.

Trading may also be used to transfer additional instances of limited and rare items, such as [[Master Ball]]s or [[Soul Dew]]s, from one game to another by making a Pokémon [[Held item|hold them]].

==Drawbacks of trading==
A traded Pokémon is referred to as an [[outsider Pokémon]], and will only obey a trainer with the sufficient number of gym badges. In addition, a traded Pokémon's nickname cannot be changed except if traded back to the original trainer. Even if a Pokémon wasn't given a nickname by its original trainer, then the trainer to whom it was traded still cannot change its name.

Traded Pokémon are identified by the Pokémon's [[Original Trainer]] name and a five-digit [[Trainer ID number|ID Number]]. Starting in [[Generation III]], even if two games have the same name and ID number, each trainer also has a [[secret ID number]]. The odds of two trainers having the same secret ID numbers is 1/65536 or approximately 0.002%, making it extremely unlikely that an outsider Pokémon will be treated as a regular Pokémon on a different cartridge.

In Generations I and II, an outsider Pokémon does not gain as many stats upon leveling up as a regular Pokémon.

==Limitations on trading==

===Trading between game generations===
Pokémon can be traded between [[Generation I]] and [[Generation II]] games using the [[Time Capsule]] feature. For compatibility purposes, the Pokémon to be traded from the Generation II game must be {{cat|Generation I Pokémon|a species that existed in Generation I}} and cannot have any {{cat|Generation II moves|moves introduced in Generation II}}.

Using [[Pal Park]], players can transfer Pokémon from their [[Generation III]] games to [[Generation IV]] games, however, Pokémon cannot be returned from Generation IV to Generation III. Additionally, Pokémon sent through Pal Park cannot know any Generation III [[HM]] moves. Similarly, using the Shift Factory, transfer is possible from Generation IV to [[Generation V]], although as well as the limitation on HM moves, the Pokémon must not be holding any items. It is also possible to use a method called the Transfer Machine to transfer specific event Pokémon before reaching the Shift Factory, although the same restrictions apply.

Trading between Generations I and II and Generations III and IV (and soon likely V) is impossible due to the vastly different data structures that were introduced in Generation III (such as [[Individual Values]] ranging from 0 to 31), as well as the difficulty in linking a Game Boy Color game to a Game Boy Advance game and the lack of any link cable ports on later systems.

===International trading===
Trading between Japanese and non-Japanese games is not recommended in Generations I and II, mostly due to the different memory locations within the RAM. While possible, these trades will result in the corruption of save files, forcing a player to restart their game from the beginning.<ref>http://www.nintendo.com/consumer/systems/gameboy/trouble_specificgame.jsp#erasing</ref> Trading between games released outside of Japan, such as between a Spanish {{game|Crystal}} and a French {{game|Yellow}}, does not result in any corruption.

Trading became possible between all versions of the games in [[Generation III]], where the English language text was programmed in even in Japanese games. Due to the relatively low chance of English and other language games coming into contact with Japanese games, however, precautions were not taken in the Japanese games to preserve a Pokémon or Trainer's name when traded in, as their maximum lengths are different. While games released outside Japan will display a Pokémon's OT and nickname fully, Japanese games will only display the first five letters.

International trading became full-fledged in Generation IV, and was a much touted feature, with the linkage of the games to the [[Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection]]. Pokémon from foreign-language games would unlock international Pokédex entries if traded to a game of a different language; at first, only 14 Pokémon could do this, however, from Platinum onward, all Pokémon can potentially allow for foreign entries.

Interestingly, Pokémon traded from Korean-language Generation IV games will not display their names nor OTs in other language variants, because the characters are not programmed into non-Korean Generation IV games. Korean games, however, will display names from all other games.

===Hardware requirements===
Trading requires two game consoles and two Pokémon games of compatible generations. Nintendo's intention is that players trade with friends, although some serious players purchase two consoles and two copies of the game.

Prior to [[Generation IV]], trading required a [[link cable]] or a [[GBA Wireless Adapter]]. Although the Nintendo DS supports [[Generation III]] games, it cannot be used to trade between those games as the DS lacks hardware support for the link cable.

The [[Pal Park]] feature of [[Generation IV]] games uses the GBA slot of the Nintendo DS, so unlike other trading requires only one game console. However, it is not compatible with the [[Nintendo DSi]] or [[Nintendo DSi XL|DSi XL]], which do not have a GBA slot.

==Requirements for trading==
===Generation I===
The {{player}} cannot trade Pokémon before getting a [[Pokédex]] from [[Professor Oak]] at [[Pallet Town]].

===Generation II===
The player cannot trade Pokémon before transporting the {{DL|List of key items in Generation II|Mystery Egg}} to [[Professor Elm]]. The [[Time Capsule]] cannot be used until the player has met [[Bill]] at [[Ecruteak City]]'s [[Pokémon Center]], and waiting until the next day when setup is completed.

===Generation III===
===={{3v|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}====
The player cannot trade Pokémon before getting a [[Pokédex]] from [[Professor Birch]] at [[Littleroot Town]]. To trade, the player must have at least two Pokémon in the party. In Emerald, trading with {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} is prohibited unless the National Pokédex has been obtained, while trading with FireRed and LeafGreen in Ruby and Sapphire will itself activate the National Pokédex automatically.

===={{2v|FireRed|LeafGreen}}====
The player cannot trade Pokémon before getting a [[Pokédex]] from Professor Oak at Pallet Town. The player must have at least two Pokémon in the party in order to trade. Trades with Ruby, Sapphire and Emerald are possible only after bringing the {{DL|List of key items in Generation III|Ruby}} and {{DL|List of key items in Generation III|Sapphire}} key items to complete [[Celio]]'s [[Network Machine]], which can be done only after the player has become the champion and obtained the National Pokédex.

====[[Pokémon Colosseum]] and [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]]====
The player cannot trade Pokémon with the GBA games in Colosseum until [[Evice]] has been defeated, while the player must have defeated [[Greevil]] in Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness to trade. Trading any unpurified [[Shadow Pokémon]] is completely prohibited, as data for Shadow moves doesn't exist in the GBA games, nor the ability to purify them.

It is not possible to directly trade between Colosseum and XD.

===Generation IV===
[[File:Platinum trade ball.png|frame|A trade in Generation IV]]
===={{3v|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}====
The player cannot trade Pokémon before getting a [[Pokédex]] from [[Professor Rowan]] at [[Sandgem Town]]. Also, the player has to have at least two Pokémon in the party. Migrating Pokémon from the Generation III games through [[Pal Park]] cannot be done until the [[National Pokédex]] has been obtained. There is no prerequisite to obtain a non-regional Pokémon when trading Pokémon from another Generation IV game. In Platinum, the player is now able to press B to select the "CANCEL" button.

====[[My Pokémon Ranch]]====
Hayley will only offer to trade with the player after they have completed a wanted request, and will only trade specific Pokémon and only if she has already brought one of them to the Ranch.

===={{2v|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}====
Similar to Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum, trading cannot occur until the player has obtained his or her Pokédex from [[Professor Oak]] at [[Mr. Pokémon|Mr. Pokémon's house]]. The player must have at least two Pokémon in the party; but no additional prerequisite is needed to trade with the Sinnoh games: this can be done at the very beginning of the game. Migrating Pokémon from Generation III games through Pal Park is also possible later in the game if the player has a Nintendo DS or DS Lite.

===Generation V===

===={{2v|Black|White}}====
Trading cannot occur until the player has defeated the first gym leader and obtained the [[C-Gear]].

==Pokémon which evolve when traded==

==Trades in the anime==
[[File:Trade machine.png|thumb|{{an|Dawn}} and {{Ash}} preparing to trade]]
Despite it being one of the key aspects of the games, trading is unusually rare in the {{pkmn|anime}}. Only a few trades have taken place, and only four of them thus far have been truly significant. Fans have often speculated about the reason for this. Rather than simply exchanging Pokémon, most trades are carried out by placing [[Poké Ball]]s into a specialized [[Trade machine|trading machine]], with a monitor that displays silhouettes of the two Pokémon as they pass each other.
* In ''[[EP015|Battle Aboard the St. Anne]]'', {{Ash}} traded his {{AP|Butterfree}} for a [[Gentleman]]'s {{AP|Raticate}}. He wasn't happy with the trade, however, so he traded it back by the end of the episode.
* In ''[[EP146|Tricks of the Trade]]'', [[Jessie]] unintentionally traded her {{TP|Jessie|Lickitung}} for {{jo|Benny}}'s {{tp|Jessie|Wobbuffet}}.
* In ''[[EP261|Here's Lookin' at You, Elekid]]'', James is forced by Jessie to trade his {{TP|James|Victreebel}} for the [[Magikarp salesman]]'s {{p|Weepinbell}}.
*In ''[[DP055|Throwing the Track Switch]]'', {{Ash}} traded his {{AP|Aipom}} for {{an|Dawn}}'s {{TP|Dawn|Buizel}}.

The trade machine used in the anime has seemingly been adapted into the game canon, with [[Professor Oak]]'s laboratory in both {{en|Pokémon Stadium}} and [[Pokémon Stadium 2]] having this type of machine for trades. In the same way, when link cables were finally able to accept the data of two Pokémon being sent at once (rather than one at a time as in [[Generation I|Generations I]] and {{gen|II}}), the Pokémon are shown passing each other in the link space.

==Trivia==
* In {{game|Red and Blue|s}}, there is a [[Scientist]] at the [[Pokémon Lab]] in [[Cinnabar Island]] that would trade a Raichu for an {{p|Electrode}}. If the player talked to him after the trade, he would mention that the Raichu evolved, which is not possible. This mistake, which was due to the original translation of the [[Pokémon Blue Version (Japanese)|Japanese Blue]]'s script, was corrected in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}.
*Every trade in the anime that involves a main character has resulted in at least one of the traded Pokémon later being released, except for the trade between {{jo|Benny}} and [[Jessie]].
*{{p|Porygon}} is the only Pokémon to evolve twice via trading.
**In addition, {{p|Porygon2}} is the only Pokémon to have evolved from trading that can evolve further.
**Both evolutions require a held item to succeed, namely the [[Up-Grade]] and the [[Dubious Disc]].
*{{p|Clamperl}} is the only Pokémon that can evolve into one of two Pokémon where both evolutions are achieved by trading.
* Pokémon traded between languages in Generation III, if not nicknamed, will preserve their foreign-language species name even through evolution as if it were a nickname. Thus, a Japanese Charmander named ヒトカゲ if traded to an English game for a Pichu named PICHU will evolve and keep the name ヒトカゲ even as a Charmeleon, when its Japanese species name would be リザード. Likewise, a Pichu evolved in the Japanese game would keep the name PICHU even as a Pikachu. This was solved with a bit that determined whether or not a Pokémon had been nicknamed in the Generation IV games.
** Interestingly, however, this bit's existence undoes a previous feature, where a Pokémon that evolved twice (such as Oddish), if nicknamed in all-caps the name of its evolved form (in this case, "GLOOM"), when evolved through that stage to its final form will become un-nicknamed again (taking the name "BELLOSSOM" or "VILEPLUME").
* All trading animations are shown using the standard Poké Ball, regardless of what type of ball the Pokémon being traded was actually caught in.

Aeon:

Ok... who honestly believes that this movie would be rated PG-12 in Japan? [[User:Goldchaos|Goldchaos]] 17:52, 30 October 2005 (CST)
:Possibly...A source on that would be good, though. [[User:Fabu-Vinny|FabuVinny]] 10:27, 31 October 2005 (CST)

:I don't believe it. I don't even believe that Japan uses the same rating system as USA ... --[[User:Nyoo|nYoo]] 10:29, 31 October 2005 (CST)

:I'm wondering if they even rate movies on that kind of scale. Here in Malaysia we only have 3 basic levels - '''U'''niversal, '''18''' or above, and '''R'''estricted. So most of the PG-13 movies and series that come here get cut (further). According to Wikipedia: [[wp:Motion picture rating systems#Japan|]]. Hmm, it even mentions Pokémon:
:"since Pokémon: Destiny Deoxys, the Pokémon Advanced movies for their sci-fi violence (i.e. the tsunami in Mew and the Castle of Chaos and the final battle with the Regis.)" (Castle of Chaos, huh?) - [[User:Zhen Lin|振霖]][[User talk:Zhen Lin|T]] 08:30, 1 November 2005 (CST)

::What do R-ratings cover in Malaysia if 18 is obviously 18-and-up? --[[User:Argy|Argy]] 16:12, 1 November 2005 (CST)

::I'm guessing they took whatever info that was posted on the IMDB as fact, since that's is the only source of the PG-12 rating for Destiny Deoxys in Japan. Problem is, IMDB also says Fox distributed the movie in Japan. As for the Mew and Castle of Chaos bit, one word: Movietome. [[User:Goldchaos|Goldchaos]] 19:43, 1 November 2005 (CST)

Shouldn't we include an article on the Deoxys here? I don't have the DVD but I think one of you guys can write an Article on the two Deoxys and the one in Deoxys Crisis.

it did, i think we should remove that trivia [[User:SpecialK|SpecialK Leiks Lucario and The Celebi Glitch]] 11:15, 1 January 2010 (UTC)

==Plusle and Minun==

Hi this duo of plusle and minun actully appear in earlier and later episodes, even some DP ones. and it is the same plusle and minun, as it said on Pokemon.com, shall i make a page like "Plusle and Minun: Anime" or "Plusle and Minun: Movie 8 and anime" or what...?

== nz rating ==

Im trying to find the new zealand rating.It would either be g or pg.Ive search through all auction sites but they dont mention rating.--[[User:Solidstate|Solid!]] 08:49, 26 January 2010 (UTC)

== So is it Jan 22 or Feb 15 for the home video? ==

The info box says Jan 22 for home video, while the cover says feb 15. Is that right or did i miss something?--'''[[User:Midnight Blue|Midnight]] [[User talk:Midnight Blue|''Blue'']]''' 20:57, 26 February 2010 (UTC)

:I think there was a mix-up somewhere. As far as I can tell, the home video date is indeed February 15, which in 2005 was a Tuesday, the standard day of the week for new DVD releases. January 22 was a Saturday in 2005. Odds are someone mistook the January 22 airdate, which is when it first aired on television, and labelled it as the DVD release date without knowing better. --[[User:Shiningpikablu252|Shiningpikablu252]] 22:25, 26 February 2010 (UTC)

== Dutch dub cast ==

I've watched the movie in Dutch, and I noticed that the whole main voice cast was different from the series and other movies, except Brock's voice. It's the same with Wish Maker. I'll recheck, but I'm sure this is a totally different cast. Should this be noted in the trivia section? Like the mention of the different voice cast of the Latin American dub. [[User:Alexjuuhh|Alexjuuhh]] 13:31, 12 July 2010 (UTC)

== Search and Rescue mission ==

When Ash, Max, and Brock go to retrieve food for the others, they find that hot-dog machine. But when the Deoxys clones attack, they visibly drop ALL of their hot dogs and run. Then they lose Minun and find a storage room full of water, but there didn't seem to be any food left. How'd they manage to get some back to the hideout?

'''LaRousse City''' (Japanese: '''ラルース''' ''LaRousse'') is an {{pkmn|anime}}-exclusive city located in the [[Hoenn]] region and was the setting for the seventh [[Pokémon movie]], ''[[M07|Destiny Deoxys]]'', and makes a cameo in ''[[M08|Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]] ''.
It is a technologically advanced city with moving walkways and a large presence of "[[Block Bot|Blocky]]" robots. The city's main power source seems to be its windmills. The most famous attraction in LaRousse is the [[Battle Tower]].

==Location==
[[Image:Aurora at Night.png|thumb|right|250px|LaRousse City at night, with {{mov|Deoxys|Deoxys|7}}'s aurora in the sky]]
According to the promotional map handed out with ''Destiny Deoxys'' Japanese release, LaRousse City is located in northern [[Hoenn]], near [[Fortree City]].

==Geography==
[[Image:Deoxys overlooking LaRousse.png|250px|thumb|left|{{mov|Deoxys|Deoxys|7}} overlooking LaRousse City]]
The city is located at the {{wp|Confluence (geography)|confluence}} of two rivers in northern [[Hoenn]]. The city mainly lies on an island, including the huge park, the Battle Tower, and most of the business districts.

On the shores of the river, presumably mainland Hoenn, lies more areas of the city, though not much. Access to the island is via monorail, which wraps around the island, and a bridge over the northern part of the island.

'''Morrison''' (Japanese: '''マサムネ''' ''Masamune'') is a [[Pokémon Trainer]] who is dressed in traditional Japanese attire.

==History==

He first appeared in ''[[AG118|Less is Morrison]]'' and he returned to compete in the [[Ever Grande Conference]]. He and {{Ash}} became friends and they declared themselves as rivals for the tournament.

Morrison has a very spirited personality and he likes to challenge other people to almost everything. Due to this, he always challenges Ash to various events such as Pokémon battles or even a food eating contest. Like Ash, he too is determined and never gives up in battle.

In ''[[AG130|Choose it or Lose It!]]'', Ash and Morrison battled in the [[Ever Grande Conference]]. Morrison was confused and even depressed to battle his new friend; he refused to fight at first, and let two of his Pokémon faint, but when Ash told him he wouldn't be angry at him and that he wanted Morrison to do his best, he battled with full spirit. The battle eventually came down to both Morrison and Ash having one Pokémon left, and in the end he was defeated by Ash.

==Pokémon==

It appeared for the first time as a {{p|Beldum}} in ''[[AG118|Less is Morrison]]'', where Morrison used it in a battle against [[Ash's Pikachu]], and tied with it. Later in the episode, Morrison used Beldum along with {{p|Pikachu}} to send [[Team Rocket]] blasting off.

Morrison later used Beldum during the [[Hoenn League]]. He used it to battle against [[Jump]]'s {{p|Electabuzz}}. The fact that Beldum only knew {{m|Take Down}}, almost caused Morrison to lose. However, in the middle of the battle, Beldum [[Evolution|evolved]] into Metang and defeated Electabuzz with its newly gained {{t|Psychic}} powers.

Morrison later used Metang in his battle against Ash, sending it as his last Pokémon to battle against [[Ash's Glalie]]. Despite of a type advantage, {{p|Glalie}} was finally able to defeat Metang with a spinning {{m|Headbutt}}, winning the match for Ash.}}

As Morrison was unwilling to battle against Ash, he wasn't seen giving Girafarig so much commands to attack, and it was quickly defeated by [[Ash's Corphish]]'s {{m|Crabhammer}}.

Girafarig's known moves are {{m|Light Screen}}, {{m|Tackle}} and {{m|Iron Tail}}.}}

Later Morrison sent Growlithe out in his battle with Ash to face Ash's {{p|Corphish}}. Being unwilling to battle with his friend, Morrison just kept Growlithe dodging attacks, but it was quickly knocked out by a Crabhammer.

Growlithe's known moves are {{m|Take Down}}, {{m|Flamethrower}} and {{m|Agility}}.}}

Ash's next Pokémon was {{AP|Grovyle|Sceptile}}, which was too fast for Steelix and finally knocked it out with {{m|Leaf Blade}}.

It then battled against Gavin's Marowak and won against it as well.

Later Morrison used Gligar in his battle against Ash. It defeated Ash's {{p|Grovyle}} and tied with [[Ash's Swellow]].

==Trivia==
[[File:Morrison party 1.png|thumb|200px|Morrison's party prior to Beldum's evolution]]
* Coincidentally, both Morrison's Japanese and English voice actors have also voiced {{wp|Goku}} of {{wp|Dragon Ball}} and {{wp|Dragon Ball Z}}. The Brazilian voice actor also voiced a Dragon Ball Z character, but he voiced {{wp|Gohan}} (as a teenager), not Goku.
**Morrison also has many similarities with another character in the Dragon Ball francise: Yajirobe. They have both been portrayed to love food, they seem to dress similarly, and they both befriended their rival (the main character) at one point.
* Ash has had at least one Pokémon that Morrison has: {{AP|Gligar}}. This has happened before with Ash having the same Pokémon or Pokémon of the same evolutionary line as one of his rivals in the Pokémon League Conferences outside of [[Ritchie]]; {{AP|Grovyle}} while {{ho|Tyson}} had {{p|Sceptile}}, {{AP|Phanpy}} while Tyson had {{p|Donphan}}, he and {{Gary}} having a {{AP|Krabby}} as well as Ash having {{AP|Squirtle}} while Gary has {{TP|Gary|Blastoise}}, having {{AP|Quilava}} while [[Macey]] has {{p|Quilava}}, and having {{AP|Bayleef}} while [[Vincent]] has {{TP|Vincent|Meganium}}.
*Morrison is the second rival of Ash's to have a Steelix. The first was Harrison.
*Morrison's name is also similar to that of Ash's Silver Conference opponents [[Vincent|Jackson]] and {{jo|Harrison}}. Their names all end with "-son", and share their names with famous singers ({{wp|George Harrison}}, {{wp|Jim Morrison}}, and {{wp|Michael Jackson}} respectively).
*A running gag was created with Morrison that involved him chasing his runaway [[rice ball]] (sandwich in the dub).
**Interestingly, each time he chased it he always met up with Ash, who happened to be training his {{TP|Ash|Snorunt}}/{{TP|Ash|Glalie}} at the time. Both Snorunt and Glalie have physical similarities with rice balls.

{{Merge|Pokémon champion}}
A '''Champion''' (Japanese: '''チャンピオン''' ''Champion'') is a type of [[Pokémon Trainer]] that first debuted in the [[Generation I]] {{pkmn|games}}. It is the name given for the Trainer who last defeated the [[Elite Four]] and the previous [[Pokémon champion]].

Although the player character is always introduced to the Champion before challenging the Elite Four, there is often nothing to suggest their status, so it is often a "surprise" to find out that that person is the Champion.

After becoming Champion, the player returns home, rather than staying at the Pokémon League to fight challengers. The previous Champion keeps his/her position. This may be a decision of the player character and his/her family rather than official Pokémon League rules, as Champion {{ga|Blue}} also keeps his position.

==Trivia==
*Unlike the Elite Four, all five Champions have appeared in the {{pkmn|anime}} at some point ({{Gary}} counting in {{ga|Blue}}'s place).
*As of {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, all the Champions (excluding Wallace) own at at least one [[pseudo-legendary]] Pokémon at some point in their respective games, and have them all amongst themselves (Lance has {{p|Dragonite}}, {{p|Salamence}}, and {{p|Garchomp}} in the rematch against him in HeartGold and SoulSilver, Steven has a {{p|Metagross}} in {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}, Blue has a {{p|Tyranitar}} in the rematch against him in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} and Cynthia has a Garchomp in {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}).
*All the champions (excluding Wallace) has at least one relative that appears their respective games. Lance is related to [[Clair]], Blue is related to [[Daisy]], Steven is related to [[Mr. Stone]], and Cynthia is related to her [[Professor Carolina|grandmother]].
* In HeartGold and SoulSilver, all Champions from [[paired versions]] appear. Blue, the Champion from {{game|Red and Green|s}}, is the [[Viridian Gym|Viridian]] [[Gym Leader]], Lance from {{game|Gold and Silver|s}} is of course the current Indigo Plateau Champion, Steven from {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}} alerts the player to {{p|Latias}}/{{p|Latios}}'s roaming and later gives the player a [[Hoenn]] [[starter Pokémon|starter]], and Cynthia from {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}} appears in the [[Sinjoh Ruins]]. Only [[Wallace]] does not appear; however, he was Champion only in a third version ({{v2|Emerald}}), while all others aside from Steven were Champions in all games of their region.
**{{ga|Red}}, although not a Champion at the time, also appears and can be fought at [[Mt. Silver]]. He is the only [[player character]] Champion to appear.
*The gym leaders in the French versions are called ''Champions'', while the champion is called ''maitre''. ''Maitre'' means master, while ''Champion'' simply means champion.

==In other languages==
*'''Chinese:''' 冠軍 (''Guànjūn'')
*'''French:''' ''Maitre''
*'''German:''' ''Champ''
*'''Italian:''' ''Campione''
*'''Korean:''' 챔피언 (''Champion'')
*'''Spanish:''' ''Campeón''

'''Wallace''' (Japanese: '''ミクリ''' ''Mikuri'') is a {{pkmn|master}} {{type2|Water}} {{Pkmn|Trainer}}. He was once the [[Gym Leader]] of [[Sootopolis City]]'s [[Gym]], known officially as the [[Sootopolis Gym]], in {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}, wielding the {{badge|Rain}}. He was promoted to {{pkmn|Champion}} of the [[Elite Four]] in {{v2|Emerald}}. He is apparently close to [[Steven Stone]], and assists him in the [[Cave of Origin]] quest in Ruby/Sapphire. He was taught by [[Juan]], who takes his place as Gym Leader in Emerald.

==In the games==
In Ruby and Sapphire, he runs Sootopolis City Gym where he gives out the Rain Badge as well as {{TM|03|Water Pulse}}. By the time of Emerald, [[Steven]] has left his post as champion and Wallace challenges the league, becoming champion himself, while his mentor, Juan, becomes Gym Leader. His Pokémon as Champion are also Water-types.

===Quotes===
[[File:WallaceGymLeader.png|right|th|thumb|190px|Wallace as a Gym Leader in Ruby and Sapphire]]
====Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire====
''"Allow me to formally introduce myself. I am Wallace. The Gym Leader of Sootopolis. There's something about you... A difference in your demeanor. I think I sense that in you. What happened inside the Cave of Origin, and what you did, I will likely learn through our upcoming battle. Now, show me. Show me the power you wield with your Pokémon. And I, in turn, shall present you with a performance of illusions in water by me and my Pokémon!"''

''"Bravo. I realize now your authenticity and magnificence as a Pokémon Trainer. I find much joy in having met you and your Pokémon. You have proven yourself worthy of the Rain Badge. Accept it."''

====Pokémon Emerald====
''"Welcome, [[player character|<name>]]. That incident in Sootopolis City... That was superb work, putting an end to that crisis all by yourself. Oops! It wouldn't be fair to say that you alone ended the crisis. You overcome that difficult situation by working as one with your Pokémon. We Trainers raise Pokémon by giving them items and by teaching them new techniques for battle. But we ourselves also learn many things from Pokémon. And this is where your achievements are put to the test against what others like you have achieved. Now! Who can most elegantly dance with their Pokémon in Hoenn? Show me right here and now!"''

''"I, the Champion, fall in defeat... That was wonderful work. You were elegant, infuriatingly so. And yet it was utterly glorious! Kudos to you, [[player character|<name>]]! You are a truly noble Pokémon Trainer!"''

''"The Pokémon you sent into battle... At times they danced like a spring breeze, and at times they struck like a lightning. It was with light, yet surefooted, elegance that you led your Pokémon. Even I felt bedazzled by your masterful performance! You now stand at the glorious peak of the Pokémon League. I now proclaim you to be the new Hoenn region... ...[[player character|<name>]]! No, let me rephrase that properly. The new Champion! come with me. ''[to {{ga|May}}/{{ga|Brendan}}]'' I'm sorry, but... From here on, only those Trainers who have become Champions may enter. You'll have to wait outside with Prof. Birch. ''[to the player]'' This room... This is where we keep records of Pokémon that prevailed through harsh battles. It is here that the League Champions are honored. Come on, let's record your name as a Trainer who triumphed over the Pokémon League, and the names of the partners who battled with you."''

==In the anime==
[[Image:WallaceWithMilotic.png|thumb|left|240px|Wallace and his {{p|Milotic}} in the anime]]
Wallace first appeared in ''[[DP075|Our Cup Runneth Over!]]'' as a {{pkmn|Contest}} Master in [[Sinnoh]]. After watching {{Ash}} and {{an|Dawn}}'s practice match against each other, he asks Ash to enter the [[Wallace Cup]] with his {{AP|Buizel}}. He also does a practice appeal in the episode with his {{p|Milotic}} for Ash and the others.

He makes further appearances in ''[[DP077|Staging a Heroes Welcome]]'', ''[[DP078|Pruning a Passel of Pals!]]'', and ''[[DP079|Strategy With a Smile!]]'' acting as the judge for the [[Wallace Cup]]. He also awarded {{an|Dawn}} the [[Aqua Ribbon]] following her win at the Contest.

It is mentioned that, like in the game, Wallace is the former [[Sootopolis City]] Gym Leader and later the [[Hoenn]] {{pkmn|champion|Champion}}. It was revealed in ''[[DP095|Battling the Generation Gap!]]'' that the [[Pokémon stylist]] [[Lila]] designed his outfit for Contests.

|desc={{p|Milotic}} is currently Wallace's only known Pokémon in the anime. Previously, Milotic had helped Wallace become Contest Master with the help of its beauty and skill. It first debuted in ''[[DP075|Our Cup Runneth Over!]]'' when Wallace had a secret training session with it out on a lake. {{Ash}} and {{ashfr|company}} came across them and were impressed. Milotic even gave {{AP|Pikachu}} and {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}} a ride around the lake on its back.

Milotic helped Wallace make his sensational entrance to the [[Wallace Cup]]. It's clear that Wallace's fans also have a great love for Milotic as they went wild when it appeared. It even helped pass out the ribbon to {{an|Dawn}} after she won the Wallace Cup.

So far, Milotic has been shown to know six different [[move]]s: {{m|Aqua Ring}}, {{m|Dragon Pulse}}, {{m|Safeguard}}, {{m|Twister}}, {{m|Surf}}, and {{m|Hydro Pump}}.}}

==In the Pokémon Adventures manga==
{{spoiler}}
[[File:Wallace Special.png|thumb|right|Wallace and Elizabeth]]
In [[Pokémon Adventures]], he is the Sootopolis Gym Leader, in addition to being a [[Pokémon Contest|contest]] master as well as the protector of the [[Cave of Origin]]. Wallace also takes {{adv|Ruby}} under his wing, much like how [[Winona]] did for {{adv|Sapphire}}. Despite having aligned himself with [[Team Aqua]], he has a strong sense of justice, and is the first of the aligned Gym Leaders to renounce his loyalty, convincing [[Winona]] of the [[Team Magma|Magmas]] to do the same.

It was revealed in {{PAV|21}} that Wallace was the Hoenn League Champion who had entered the Hall of Fame. However, he renounced the title as he expressed his wish of following his mentor, [[Juan|Juan's]], footstep of becoming a Gym Leader of his city. According to [[Steven Stone|Steven]], what Wallace did not mention to the director of the Pokémon Association is that there is a second reason for his renouncement: He was trying to stay with [[Winona]], the Fortree Gym Leader.

He and [[Winona]] apparently had some sort of relationship in the past, speculated by most fans to have been romantic. Although it is largely unconfirmed whether [[Winona]] still has feelings for him, it is quite obvious that he still has feelings for her, based on the scene where the two say their goodbyes before they leave to fight {{p|Kyogre}} and {{p|Groudon}} in {{PAV|20}}.

Wallace regained the title of Champion after Steven had a premonition that he would die in the upcoming battle between Groudon and Kyogre.

Wallace usually travels on an "Air Car", which can travel on both the land and the air. He is also the only [[Hoenn]] Gym Leader who nicknamed his Pokémon.

'''Registeel''': Originally with [[Steven Stone|Steven]]; however, as of Steven's apparent death, Registeel and the other Regis vanished to the mountains, where they have been caught by {{FB|Pyramid King|Brandon}}.

==Trivia==
* Wallace is the only [[Gym Leader]] that did not appear in his home region in the anime. He makes his first appearance in ''[[DP075|Our Cup Runneth Over!]]''.
* Wallace's Pokémon in {{2v2|Ruby|Sapphire}} are the same Pokémon used by Juan against {{Ash}} in the anime.
* A number of Wallace's lines before, during and after the player's battle with him in Pokémon Emerald are extremely similar to [[Steven Stone]]'s at the same time periods in Ruby and Sapphire. In particular, the line Wallace says upon defeat is the same as Steven's, only with references to elegance added.
* While Wallace's hair, cape and top half of his clothing are colored teal in his official Sugimori artwork and the anime, they are colored blue in his gamesprites and the manga.
* Wallace goes from [[Gym Leader]] to [[Champion]] making the opposite movement to {{ga|Blue}} who goes from [[Champion]] to [[Gym Leader]].
* He is the second Champion to use the same type as one of the regional Gym Leaders, the first being [[Lance]] and [[Clair]].
* He is the only Champion with no known relatives. ([[Juan]] is a close aquaintance, but they are not related.)
* Wallace is the only champion who does not make an appearance in {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}.
* He is the only Champion whose entire team is his specialty type.
* Wallace is the only Champion who does not use any pseudo-legendary Pokémon at any point in the games.
* Wallace kept two Pokémon when he was promoted to Champion of the Elite Four: Whiscash and Milotic.
** Interestingly, his only known Pokémon in the anime was Milotic, while he had Whiscash, but not Milotic in the manga.

'''Regigigas''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''レジギガス''' ''Regigigas'') is a {{type2|Normal}} [[legendary Pokémon]]. It is the [[trio master|master]] of [[Hoenn]]'s [[legendary golems]].

It is not known to evolve into or from any other Pokémon.

It comes to life only when {{p|Regirock}}, {{p|Regice}}, and {{p|Registeel}} are gathered. Therefore, it requires the three to be in the player's [[party]] to awaken it within [[Snowpoint Temple]], where it sleeps. It still appears on the map if they are absent, but does not awaken and the player regards it as a statue.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Regigigas shares several traits with the [[Legendary golems|Regis]]. For instance, it has seven dot-like "eyes" arranged in a specific pattern. The braille pattern is Regigigas's way of showing emotion (red if angry, blue if sad, etc.). It has six spots that are apart from its eyes, which seem to be gemstones. These gemstones seem to represent the Regis, with the red gems representing {{p|Regirock}}, the blue gems representing {{p|Regice}} and the silver gems representing {{p|Registeel}}. It has a golem-like shape and is primarily white in coloration, possessing long arms, with three fairly human-like white fingers, and short legs. It has large yellow-colored bands on its shoulders and wrists, with a sloping section on its chest that appears to be its head also being yellow. Its body is covered in black stripes, and it has moss growing in its back and feet, which may indicate it has been asleep for a long time.
====Gender differences====
Regigigas is a genderless species.

====Special abilities====
Regigigas has the ability {{a|Slow Start}}, which causes Regigigas's Attack and Speed to be halved the first five turns. According to its [[Pokédex]] entries, the legends say that its extremely high attack stat, combined with its colossal strength, enables it to move continents.

Regigigas is capable of communicating via telepathy.

Regigigas is also capable of controlling the [[legendary golems]], even if they already belong to a {{pkmn|Trainer}}.

===Behavior===
When Regigigas is disturbed on its slumber on [[Snowpoint Temple]], it goes on a rampage and shoots powerful {{m|Hyper Beam}}s. But when it is befriended, it is calm and gentle, as seen in [[DP129|Pillars of Friendship]].

===Habitat===
It resides in the [[Snowpoint Temple]], having done so for hundreds, maybe thousands of years. According to the [[braille]] in the [[Generation III]] games, it was sealed away in order to protect people, and three keys (the [[legendary golems]]) were created so that only one with the power of {{p|Regirock}}, {{p|Regice}}, and {{p|Registeel}} would be able to catch it.

==In the anime==

[[File:Regigigasanime.png|right|thumb|250px|Regigigas in the anime]]
Regigigas appeared in ''[[M11|Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]''. In the movie, it lives in a temple in the mountains of [[Gracidea]]. It had been asleep for centuries, for so long that moss began to grow on its body. However, when [[Zero]] entered the [[Reverse World]] and began shattering pillars of ice within it, the glacier in front of Regigigas' temple suffered catastrophic explosions and began moving. This disturbed the great titan's slumber, rousing it into action.

When [[Dawn's Buneary]] and {{TP|Dawn|Swinub}} failed to stop the glacier with the help of a large group of wild Pokémon, Regigigas appeared in the command of a herd of dozens of {{p|Mamoswine}} and together, they began pushing on the glacier to hold it back. Though at first they managed to still its movement and move it back slightly, in the end they too failed. It was only when {{an|Giratina}} healed the broken ice pillars in the Reverse World that the glacier stopped. Regigigas returned to its temple at the end of the movie, where it is seen using {{m|Hyper Beam}} on [[Team Rocket]] during the credits.

Another Regigigas appeared in ''[[DP129|Pillars of Friendship]]'' at [[Snowpoint Temple]]. [[J]] wanted to steal it so it was rudely awakened by her. She shattered the pillars of ice, rock, and steel surrounding it and then she used her Salamence's {{m|Flamethrower}} on it. It went on a rampage after, using {{m|Hyper Beam}} on practically anything. It even used {{m|Confuse Ray}} to control [[Pyramid King Brandon]]'s set of [[legendary golems]] to help it. At the end of the episode, it healed Brandon and his golems using {{m|Hidden Power}} to restore them from their petrification. It was then taken back to the temple to return to its slumber.

A Regigigas appeared as part of Meowth's [[boss fantasy]] in [[DP173]], alongside Giratina.

==Trivia==
* Due to {{a|Slow Start|its ability}} reducing its potential, Regigigas has more in common with {{p|Slaking}} than it does with other [[Legendary Pokémon|legendaries]]. They share the same base stat total of 670, the same base {{stat|Attack}} stat of 160, and [[ability|abilities]] that limit their power.
* Although it is thought to be unique, it is possible to see and fight another, under the ownership of {{FB|Tower Tycoon|Palmer}} along with a {{p|Heatran}} and {{p|Cresselia}} in the 49th consecutive battle in the Battle Tower. [[Riley]] uses one too, confirming that Regigigas is, like {{p|Cresselia}}, {{p|Heatran}}, {{p|Shaymin}} and the other [[legendary golems]], a slightly more common legendary species than that of others.
* It is the only Pokémon who can learn TMs that cannot learn {{TM|17|Protect}} or {{TM|44|Rest}}. This is probably to prevent people from countering its own ability by avoiding damage or healing itself.
* Regigigas is the only one of the [[Legendary Golems|Regis]] not to have its type in its name. {{p|Regirock}} is a {{type2|Rock}}, {{p|Regice}} is an {{type2|Ice}}, and {{p|Registeel}} is {{type2|Steel}}.
** Regigigas is also the only one of the Regis that does not use the remix of the legendary golem battle theme in Platinum. Instead, it uses the legendary battle theme, much like in {{2v2|Diamond|Pearl}}.
* Regigigas is one of the few [[Trio master|Trio masters]] to not be in the same generation as its trio, along with [[Lugia]].
*Due to their [[Type|typings]], Regigigas and the other legendary golems all share a common weakness to {{type2|Fighting}} moves.
* Regigigas and {{p|Slaking}} have the highest [[base stats|base stat]] in {{stat|Attack}} of all {{type2|Normal}} Pokémon. They have the third highest attack of all Pokémon, after {{p|Deoxys}}'s Attack Forme and {{p|Rampardos}}.
* Despite being called the Colossal Pokémon, Regigigas is only the fourteenth tallest Pokémon and only the eighth heaviest.
* Regigigas is one of only two Normal-type legendary Pokémon (the other is {{p|Arceus}}, but its type can change).
* By hacking to obtain Cherish Balls, it is possible to trick the game into opening [[Rock Peak Ruins|Rock Peak]], [[Iceberg Ruins|Iceberg]], and [[Iron Ruins]]: by catching the in-game Regigigas in a Cherish Ball, the game thinks the Regigigas was obtained at a Nintendo event.
* An [[Nintendo Event|event]] Regigigas unlocks the [[Regi trio]] to be caught in normal gameplay in hidden caves across the Sinnoh region.
*Regigigas' strength is exaggerated in the legend that it towed the continents with ropes. However, in its first appearance in the movie Giratina and the Sky Warrior, Regigigas failed to push back a glacier even with the help of many Mamoswine, despite its legendary strength. This could be due to its {{a|Slow Start|ability}} though, as it has just awoken when it went to stop the glacier.
*"Regi" is latin for king or royalty and purple is considered the color of royalty. [[Shiny]] Regigigas are speculated to be colored purple to further relate Regigigas with these aspects.
*Regigigas also holds the records for the highest and lowest leveled legendary met in any Pokémon game, at Level 100 and Level 1 respectively.

===Origin===
This [[Pokémon]] is based on the {{wp|golem}}s of Hebrew legend. The legends cast them as servants of higher powers and are said to have writing on their heads. When the writing is removed, the creature would be weakened.
====Name origin====
The first part of its name is ''Regi'', ''kings'' or ''to rule, govern or control'', or possibly ''regius'', ''royal''. The last part of its name, ''gigas'', means ''giant''. This means it is the King of the [[Legendary Golems|Giants]].

Trio master

2010-07-08T20:47:26Z

Aeon:

A Pokémon that is a '''trio master''' is one who, in some way, oversees a [[legendary trio]] of Pokémon.

The trio master and the trio itself may relate in different ways. For example, {{p|Lugia}} is the trio master of the [[legendary birds]]; it is the only one who can quell their fighting when [[Lawrence III]] captures one of them in ''[[M02|The Power of One]]''.

==Capturing Trio Masters==
In the {{pkmn|games}}, the trio master sometimes will require that the members of its legendary trio be captured beforehand.
===Pokémon Crystal===
In {{v2|Crystal}}, {{p|Ho-Oh}} cannot be captured until all three of the [[legendary beasts]] have been captured.
===Pokémon Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum===
In {{3v2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}, {{p|Regigigas}} will not awaken unless the {{player}} has the [[legendary golems]] in his or her party. Conversely, an [[List_of_Nintendo_event_Pokémon_in_2009#Toys_.22R.22_Us_Regigigas|event Regigigas]] unlocks the legendary golems in Platinum.

===Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver===
In {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, {{p|Rayquaza}} is only obtainable after both {{p|Kyogre}} and {{p|Groudon}} have been obtained.

==Other References to Trio Masters==
*In [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team]], the [[legendary birds]] must all be befriended before the player can enter [[Silver Trench|Lugia's dungeon]], and before encountering
Ho-Oh, the three [[legendary beasts]] must contribute their power to create the {{DL|List of key items in Generation IV|Rainbow Wing}}.
*In [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness]] and [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky|Explorers of Sky]], [[Aegis Cave]] has four bosses: Regirock, Regice, Registeel and Regigigas. The golems must be beaten first before Regigigas can be challenged at the end of the cave.
*In order to get {{p|Ho-Oh}} in {{g|Colosseum}}, the player must first capture and purify all the Shadow Pokémon, which includes the legendary beasts, as one of the two requirements.
*In {{Pokémon XD}}, the legendary birds are encountered after the player encounters Shadow Lugia.
* In [[Pokémon Ranger: Shadows of Almia]], the player needs to befriend all the Pokémon in the regional Browser which includes the legendary golems, to battle Regigigas. The golems themselves are also required in order to open the door to its domain.
*In [[Pokémon Ranger: Guardian Signs]], the player needs to befriend all 300 Pokémon in the regional Browser which includes the three legendary birds, to battle Lugia.

==Trivia==
* Arceus is the only trio master that is related to more than one legendary trio.
* Rayquaza is the only trio master that is also a part of a trio. In the case of Rayquaza, it is the master of its own trio. However, Ho-Oh and Lugia are part of their own duo.
* Lugia and Regigigas are two trio masters who are not present in the same generation as their trio.
* The weather trio may be a reference to the three Jewish creatures, the Behemoth, Ziz, and Leviathan, as these Pokémon fit the description of them and have a similar role.

Trio master

2010-07-08T20:38:14Z

Aeon:

A Pokémon that is a '''trio master''' is one who, in some way, oversees a [[legendary trio]] of Pokémon.

The trio master and the trio itself may relate in different ways. For example, {{p|Lugia}} is the trio master of the [[legendary birds]]; it is the only one who can quell their fighting when [[Lawrence III]] captures one of them in ''[[M02|The Power of One]]''.

==Capturing Trio Masters==
In the {{pkmn|games}}, the trio master sometimes will require that the members of its legendary trio be captured beforehand.
===Pokémon Crystal===
In {{v2|Crystal}}, {{p|Ho-Oh}} cannot be captured until all three of the [[legendary beasts]] have been captured.
===Pokémon Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum===
In {{3v2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}, {{p|Regigigas}} will not awaken unless the {{player}} has the [[legendary golems]] in his or her party. Conversely, an [[List_of_Nintendo_event_Pokémon_in_2009#Toys_.22R.22_Us_Regigigas|event Regigigas]] unlocks the legendary golems in Platinum.

===Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver===
In {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, {{p|Rayquaza}} is only obtainable after both {{p|Kyogre}} and {{p|Groudon}} have been obtained.

==Other References to Trio Masters==
*In [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team]], the [[legendary birds]] must all be befriended before the player can enter [[Silver Trench|Lugia's dungeon]], and before encountering
Ho-Oh, the three [[legendary beasts]] must contribute their power to create the {{DL|List of key items in Generation IV|Rainbow Wing}}.
*In [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness]] and [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky|Explorers of Sky]], [[Aegis Cave]] has four bosses: Regirock, Regice, Registeel and Regigigas. The golems must be beaten first before Regigigas can be challenged at the end of the cave.
*In order to get {{p|Ho-Oh}} in {{g|Colosseum}}, the player must first capture and purify all the Shadow Pokémon, which includes the legendary beasts, as one of the two requirements.
*In {{Pokémon XD}}, the legendary birds are encountered after the player encounters Shadow Lugia.
* In [[Pokémon Ranger: Shadows of Almia]], the player needs to befriend all the Pokémon in the regional Browser which includes the legendary golems, to battle Regigigas. The golems themselves are also required in order to open the door to its domain.
*In [[Pokémon Ranger: Guardian Signs]], the player needs to befriend all 300 Pokémon in the regional Browser which includes the three legendary birds, to battle Lugia.

'''Regigigas''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''レジギガス''' ''Regigigas'') is a {{type2|Normal}} [[legendary Pokémon]]. It is the [[trio master|master]] of [[Hoenn]]'s [[legendary golems]].

It is not known to evolve into or from any other Pokémon.

It comes to life only when {{p|Regirock}}, {{p|Regice}}, and {{p|Registeel}} are gathered. Therefore, it requires the three to be in the player's [[party]] to awaken it within [[Snowpoint Temple]], where it sleeps. It still appears on the map if they are absent, but does not awaken and the player regards it as a statue.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Regigigas shares several traits with the [[Legendary golems|Regis]]. For instance, it has seven dot-like "eyes" arranged in a specific pattern. The braille pattern is Regigigas's way of showing emotion (red if angry, blue if sad, etc.). It has six spots that are apart from its eyes, which seem to be gemstones. These gemstones seem to represent the Regis, with the red gems representing {{p|Regirock}}, the blue gems representing {{p|Regice}} and the silver gems representing {{p|Registeel}}. It has a golem-like shape and is primarily white in coloration, possessing long arms, with three fairly human-like white fingers, and short legs. It has large yellow-colored bands on its shoulders and wrists, with a sloping section on its chest that appears to be its head also being yellow. Its body is covered in black stripes, and it has moss growing in its back and feet, which may indicate it has been asleep for a long time.
====Gender differences====
Regigigas is a genderless species.

====Special abilities====
Regigigas has the ability {{a|Slow Start}}, which causes Regigigas's Attack and Speed to be halved the first five turns. According to its [[Pokédex]] entries, the legends say that its extremely high attack stat, combined with its colossal strength, enables it to move continents.

Regigigas is capable of communicating via telepathy.

Regigigas is also capable of controlling the [[legendary golems]], even if they already belong to a {{pkmn|Trainer}}.

===Behavior===
When Regigigas is disturbed on its slumber on [[Snowpoint Temple]], it goes on a rampage and shoots powerful {{m|Hyper Beam}}s. But when it is befriended, it is calm and gentle, as seen in [[DP129|Pillars of Friendship]].

===Habitat===
It resides in the [[Snowpoint Temple]], having done so for hundreds, maybe thousands of years. According to the [[braille]] in the [[Generation III]] games, it was sealed away in order to protect people, and three keys (the [[legendary golems]]) were created so that only one with the power of {{p|Regirock}}, {{p|Regice}}, and {{p|Registeel}} would be able to catch it.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

==In the anime==
[[File:Regigigas.png|left|thumb|250px|Regigigas's first appearance, from ''[[M11|Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]'']]
[[File:Regigigasanime.png|right|thumb|250px|Regigigas in the anime]]
Regigigas appeared in ''[[M11|Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]''. In the movie, it lives in a temple in the mountains of [[Gracidea]]. It had been asleep for centuries, for so long that moss began to grow on its body. However, when [[Zero]] entered the [[Reverse World]] and began shattering pillars of ice within it, the glacier in front of Regigigas' temple suffered catastrophic explosions and began moving. This disturbed the great titan's slumber, rousing it into action.

When [[Dawn's Buneary]] and {{TP|Dawn|Swinub}} failed to stop the glacier with the help of a large group of wild Pokémon, Regigigas appeared in the command of a herd of dozens of {{p|Mamoswine}} and together, they began pushing on the glacier to hold it back. Though at first they managed to still its movement and move it back slightly, in the end they too failed. It was only when {{an|Giratina}} healed the broken ice pillars in the Reverse World that the glacier stopped. Regigigas returned to its temple at the end of the movie, where it is seen using {{m|Hyper Beam}} on [[Team Rocket]] during the credits.

Another Regigigas appeared in ''[[DP129|Pillars of Friendship]]'' at [[Snowpoint Temple]]. [[J]] wanted to steal it so it was rudely awakened by her. She shattered the pillars of ice, rock, and steel surrounding it and then she used her Salamence's {{m|Flamethrower}} on it. It went on a rampage after, using {{m|Hyper Beam}} on practically anything. It even used {{m|Confuse Ray}} to control [[Pyramid King Brandon]]'s set of [[legendary golems]] to help it. At the end of the episode, it healed Brandon and his golems using {{m|Hidden Power}} to restore them from their petrification. It was then taken back to the temple to return to its slumber.

A Regigigas appeared as part of Meowth's [[boss fantasy]] in [[DP173]], alongside Giratina.

==Trivia==
* Due to {{a|Slow Start|its ability}} reducing its potential, Regigigas has more in common with {{p|Slaking}} than it does with other [[Legendary Pokémon|legendaries]]. They share the same base stat total of 670, the same base {{stat|Attack}} stat of 160, and [[ability|abilities]] that limit their power.
* Although it is thought to be unique, it is possible to see and fight another, under the ownership of {{FB|Tower Tycoon|Palmer}} along with a {{p|Heatran}} and {{p|Cresselia}} in the 49th consecutive battle in the Battle Tower. [[Riley]] uses one too, confirming that Regigigas is, like {{p|Cresselia}}, {{p|Heatran}}, {{p|Shaymin}} and the other [[legendary golems]], a slightly more common legendary species than that of others.
* It is the only Pokémon who can learn TMs that cannot learn {{TM|17|Protect}} or {{TM|44|Rest}}. This is probably to prevent people from countering its own ability by avoiding damage or healing itself.
* Regigigas is the only one of the [[Legendary Golems|Regis]] not to have its type in its name. {{p|Regirock}} is a {{type2|Rock}}, {{p|Regice}} is an {{type2|Ice}}, and {{p|Registeel}} is {{type2|Steel}}.
** Regigigas is also the only one of the Regis that does not use the remix of the legendary golem battle theme in Platinum. Instead, it uses the legendary battle theme, much like in {{2v2|Diamond|Pearl}}.
* Regigigas is one of the few [[Trio master]] pokemon to not be in the same generation as its trio.
*Due to their [[Type|typings]], Regigigas and the other legendary golems all share a common weakness to {{type2|Fighting}} moves.
* Regigigas and {{p|Slaking}} have the highest [[base stats|base stat]] in {{stat|Attack}} of all {{type2|Normal}} Pokémon. They have the third highest attack of all Pokémon, after {{p|Deoxys}}'s Attack Forme and {{p|Rampardos}}.
* Despite being called the Colossal Pokémon, Regigigas is only the fourteenth tallest Pokémon and only the eighth heaviest.
* Regigigas is one of only two Normal-type legendary Pokémon (the other is {{p|Arceus}}, but its type can change).
* By hacking to obtain Cherish Balls, it is possible to trick the game into opening [[Rock Peak Ruins|Rock Peak]], [[Iceberg Ruins|Iceberg]], and [[Iron Ruins]]: by catching the in-game Regigigas in a Cherish Ball, the game thinks the Regigigas was obtained at a Nintendo event.
* An [[Nintendo Event|event]] Regigigas unlocks the [[Regi trio]] to be caught in normal gameplay in hidden caves across the Sinnoh region.
*Regigigas' strength is exaggerated in the legend that it towed the continents with ropes. However, in its first appearance in the movie Giratina and the Sky Warrior, Regigigas failed to push back a glacier even with the help of many Mamoswine, despite its legendary strength. This could be due to its {{a|Slow Start|ability}} though, as it has just awoken when it went to stop the glacier.
*"Regi" is latin for king or royalty and purple is considered the color of royalty. [[Shiny]] Regigigas are speculated to be colored purple to further relate Regigigas with these aspects.
*Regigigas also holds the records for the highest and lowest leveled legendary met in any Pokémon game, at Level 100 and Level 1 respectively.

===Origin===
This [[Pokémon]] is based on the {{wp|golem}}s of Hebrew legend. The legends cast them as servants of higher powers and are said to have writing on their heads. When the writing is removed, the creature would be weakened.
====Name origin====
The first part of its name is ''Regi'', ''kings'' or ''to rule, govern or control'', or possibly ''regius'', ''royal''. The last part of its name, ''gigas'', means ''giant''. This means it is the King of the [[Legendary Golems|Giants]].

'''Selfdestruct''' (Japanese: '''じばく''' ''Suicide Bombing'') is a damage-dealing {{type2|Normal}} [[move]] introduced in [[Generation I]].

==Effect==
===Generation I===
Resembling a weaker version of [[Explosion]], Selfdestruct inflicts damage, and causes the user to faint. Though its power is listed as 130, the target's {{stat|Defense}} will be halved when damage from this attack is calculated, giving it an effective power of 260. The game will bump 0 up to 1 to avoid infinite damage, so Selfdestruct will then effectively have a power of 130 if used against a target with a defense value of 1.

If Selfdestruct breaks a target's {{m|Substitute}}, the user will not faint, though its image will be replaced by a blank image. Additionally, if the user of Selfdestruct had a Substitute at the time of such a situation, uses Substitute later, or switches out, its regular image will once again become visible.

If the user of Selfdestruct attacks first and faints itself, the target will not attack or be subjected to recurrent damage during that round.

In Stadium, if Selfdestruct breaks a target's Substitute, the user will faint.

===Generation II and on===
The move's power is [[List of moves that changed in attack power|bumped up]] to 200 instead. The target's Defense is still halved, giving it an effective power of 400. If the user uses the move on a target using a substitute, regardless if the substitute is broken or not, the user will always faint.

==Synopsis==
{{spoilers}}

===Prologue===
A mysterious {{pkmn|egg}} floats by in the ocean teeming with [[Pokémon]]. It glides along the water, going through a school of {{p|Remoraid}}, past a few {{p|Clamperl}}, {{p|Cloyster}}, and whatnot. The egg finally settles down as a group of {{p|Lanturn}} and {{p|Chinchou}} have a look. Suddenly the school of fish-like Pokémon swim away as spotlights shine upon the egg. Above the water, three helicopters hover low over the surface, scanning the egg. Confirmation of the "treasure" is relayed to a large submarine underwater; where aboard [[Captain Phantom]] of the Phantom Troop executes his plan to secure the egg. His {{p|Chatot}} flies onto the shoulder of the Captain's right-hand man, squawking the Captain's words.

Once the submarine gets close enough, a mechanical arm goes out to encase the egg in a glass case and brings it back. With the operation a success, Captain Phantom heads down to the room where the egg sits on a stand, still encased by the glass container. He marvels at his prize, and just before he could grab it, one of his pirates snatches it. Angered by the traitor, the Captain sends his men after him, but the mysterious traitor dodges their lunges. Escaping down a corridor, he is sandwiched at either end. Fortunately, there is a ladder on a vertical conveyor that he uses to escape. Getting to a higher floor, he jumps off the ladder, kicking the guardrail so that his pursuers can't find a way up without bumping their head on it. He makes a quick stop to the mess hall kitchen. While securing the egg in a carrying bag, he makes contact with his "mission coordinator", [[Judy]], to tell her he's secured the egg. But just as he was ending the transmission, the pirates found him and began surrounding him. The traitor makes his move by jumping on pots, landing in a way that they fly onto the heads of the others as he makes his escape. On his way out, he pours a sack of potatoes onto the floor to keep the ones behind him busy.

Finding his way outside, the traitor finds himself yet again chased down by the persistent crew of the submarine. He runs to the other side of the sub, jumping over a trapdoor that was opening to reveal Captain Phantom. The traitor reaches the bow of the submarine, finding himself trapped. The Captain releases a {{p|Pinsir}} and a {{p|Parasect}} and demands his name and threatens him to return the egg, otherwise his Pokémon will attack. The traitor introduces himself as [[Jack Walker|Jack "Jackie" Walker]]. He jumps up to the roof of the front part of the sub, just barely avoiding Pinsir's attack. At the very edge of the boat, he finds a few {{p|Mantine}} swimming about, feeling lucky they followed. Pulling out a [[Capture Styler]], he manages to catch a Mantine just before Captain Phantom makes his way on top. Phantom threatens Jackie to return the egg shortly before Jackie jumps off the boat, landing on the Mantine and escapes with it using {{m|Confuse Ray}} before {{m|Dive|diving}} into the ocean. Angry, Phantom tells Pinsir to use a {{m|Hyper Beam}} at the water, but by the time, Jackie swims off with the captured Mantine to safety.

===Opening title===
The opening title starts off zoomed in upon a molecule linked up to others, before zooming out to reveal a diamond. Then the camera flies by a lava stream, then to a stormy sky, before the sky clears to reveal an ocean. Diving down, it shows water molecules before coming towards the main title.

{{Ash}}, [[Brock]], {{an|May}}, and [[Max]] are traveling down a bright road. It's very hot and everyone is sweaty, tired, and desperate to find shelter. But where they're traveling on is nothing more than a dirt road with an expansive grass field and just a tree here and there and Max's [[PokéNav]] can't get a signal from their current location. Max stops to ask May for some water as he ran out. May gives her thermos to Max, who finds out that it's empty as well. Both collapse in shock while Ash looks back. He sees a ball of water floating in the distance, and is a bit confused before he mentions "Water". Max and May both perk up to see before Max begins running off towards where the water ball's direction.

They come across what appears to be several water balls, with {{type2|Water}} Pokémon in them, and in the middle of it all stands a female teenager. Max goes up to her and asks if he can have some water, to which she gives permission. Max then goes to a nearby water ball and begins sucking some water from it, but a {{p|Gorebyss}} pokes Max away. The rest of the gang comes by, and the teenager asks who they are. {{ashfr|The gang}} introduce themselves, except Brock who takes a good look at her and finally declares out that the teenager is [[Lizabeth]]. Brock then pulls out his little book of women he admires, and then pulls up Lizabeth's page. He explains that Lizabeth and her family run an outside circus show with water Pokémon. {{AP|Pikachu}} wanders off a bit to find a {{p|Meditite}} and {{p|Medicham}} duo with a couple of {{p|Poliwag}} and a {{p|Poliwhirl}}. They greet Pikachu with the water Pokémon {{m|Water Gun|shooting some water out}} while the Meditite and Medicham use {{m|Psychic}} to form it into a Pikachu-shaped figure. The gang understands how the how the water balls are formed.

Several people soon come out of the trailer, wondering who Ash and company were. Lizabeth says that they're acquaintances and are just looking for some water. They all introduce themselves, the family of performers that runs the circus. The mother is [[Meredith]], the father is {{mov|Kyle}}, and the grandfather is [[Ship]]. They also have a clown who just joined them recently. May comments on how young Meredeth looks, thinking she was Lizabeth's older sister. Meredith laughs and accidentally smacks May on her head a little too hard as she does.

Inside the trailer, Max enjoys a glass of water he needed. Afterward, a friendly {{p|Buizel}} comes by to play with him for a bit. As the others discuss things, May notices the Buizel hopping up to a bunk bed, going up to the top bunk where a canister lays. It presses a button and it clears up, revealing the mysterious egg from before. May stares at it for a while before Kyle comes by and closes the curtain that was partially covering the bunk before excusing himself. To lighten up the mood, Lizabeth invites everyone to a free show they'll be performing in the next town. Everyone is happy to accept.

The show starts off with one large sphere of water being created, as a {{p|Seaking}} and {{p|Dewgong}} are let inside. Then the Meditite and Medicham then split the sphere into two, and soon Kyle and Meredith join in the act by diving in. Several more spheres are created with an assortment of Water Pokémon getting inside them. Lizabeth jumps in and rides the Dewgong to the top, clearing out and then jumping back in. Meanwhile, the clown walks around, wearing a {{p|Sharpedo}} get-up. As he's juggling a few balls, a group of {{p|Goldeen}} in small water spheres come near him. He uses the Sharpedo costume to "eat" the Goldeen, but then acts out as if he has indigestion and the Goldeen pop out on the other side. The gang was watching from the trailer nearby, and soon they were pushed into water spheres of their own, with everything combining into one. Then the Meditite and Medicham began surrounding the large water sphere with energy, before it exploded into steam, with the performing family and the gang at the bottom, and all the water Pokémon in their own bubbles, ending the show.

The Buizel was busy in the trailer, finding his way up to the bunk with the container. He takes a look at it again before it tips it over the edge. Grabbing it, he also tries to save himself before falling over onto the floor. He carries the container between the trailer and the circus-style decorated vehicle up front. May happens to be there when she spots Buizel, and sees the container once again. Up on the rooftops however, are [[Jessie]], [[James]], and {{MTR}} of [[Team Rocket]], spying on what the gang and the circus troupe were up to. James happens to notice the container only for a split moment until the clown comes by to take it away from Buizel, and then leaves without a word, giving it to Lizabeth who then puts it upon a shelf, and closes a curtain around it. Later as the troupe was packing, the gang was invited to travel with them to the next town.

Meanwhile, Jessie, James, and Meowth relax at a fountain, when Jessie and Meowth notice James looking at a "Team Rocket Magazine". James mentions he saw the circus crew having an object he found in the magazine. And then he finds the page with a picture of the Egg and Captain Phantom. They plan on following the trailer, and will eventually make their attack. After the troupe packs up, the gang is invited to ride along until the next town, since it's a mountainous region. They take the offer and are soon off. As they pass by, the Team Rocket trio hides out in an alley. James is attempting to make a call, but had to cut the line when they realize they can just hitchhike on the troupe's trailer.

That night, while everyone was asleep, Buizel walked about the trailer, finding the shelf where the container was. He climbed up and presses the button, revealing the egg once again. Moonlight shines through it and it begins to glow red. The light shines upon May, which creates dream of her being in an undersea world. Numerous water Pokémon swim by her before a mysterious one suddenly swims up to her. It was small, and looked very friendly and playful. Then up ahead, May could see what looked like an underwater palace surrounded by a bubble. The mysterious Pokémon soon swims past her and she screams out "Wait!". At that moment, she wakes up and also screams "Wait!". Lizabeth is sitting nearby wondering what happened before telling her good morning.

The trailer has stopped at a nearby river in a mountainous region, stopping for a late breakfast. A table is set up outside near the river and they enjoy their meal of Italian dishes. During the meal May talks about her mysterious dream last night, mentioning seeing a Pokémon she never saw before and a strange palace under the sea. Mysterious as it sounded to Ash and the others, the circus crew seemed to act out as if it was mysterious too, that is until Lizabeth and Minamo said that they had the same dream, and it's related to a legend, but Ship tells them to not tell right now. As they begin packing up after the meal, Jessie, James, and Meowth make their move. Jessie successfully finds the egg after looking around in the trailer. But as they gather to get a closer look, the egg begins to glow. A red lightning trails out and passes through each of their heads. When the odd experience ends, they begin freaking out. Jessie is now Meowth, Meowth is now James, and James is now Jessie!

They continue to freak out about the swapping of minds until everyone comes back from their meal. They spot the Team Rocket members just as they leave. They begin to recite their {{motto}}, but end with a feeling that it doesn't feel right since their bodies are switched. They make a run for it with the egg with Ash following them. But before Ash can reach the Rockets; they escape to a [[Transport in Pokémon|balloon]], with a cycle driven propeller. They make their get away and Ash was about to have Pikachu take them down with {{m|Thunderbolt}}, but the clown suddenly comes up telling him to stop. If the balloon blows up, it'll damage the egg. He takes out a Capture Styler from his pocket and finds a nearby {{p|Fearow}}. He uses it to catch the Fearow to pursue Team Rocket. Just as Fearow takes off, Pikachu hops on Fearow's back and the two Pokémon soon catch up. Pikachu lands on the cycling mechanism in front and begins sparking up. Then it snags the egg and drops down, landing on Fearow. The bird Pokémon then flies up, threatening to poke the balloon as the Rockets panic, wanting the James Meowth to do something but he can't, and the Fearow {{m|peck}}s at the balloon, sending the Rockets away.

Fearow delivers Pikachu back to Ash, with May, Max, Brock, and Lizabeth nearby. Lizabeth takes the case with the egg away before the clown shows up. Ash recognized the Capture Styler he used, and concludes he must be a {{ga|Pokémon Ranger}}. The clown nods before taking off his disguise to reveal that was Jackie. Jackie shows the gang the egg when things finally settle down, but his cover was compromised, as Team Rocket figured out about the egg. But just as they were about to head back, several helicopters begin to show up on the horizon. And upon closer inspection, those helicopters bore the Phantom Troop's insignia. Jackie warns them of who they are and begins to make a run for it in a rocky path. Captain Phantom releases two {{p|Beedrill}} to chase after them, and soon the gang is making an attempt to run. They split up in order to split their pursuers up, with Ash following Jackie, and Max, May, Brock, and Lizabeth taking another route. Along the path Ash and Jackie take, Captain Phantom jumps down from his chopper and proceeds to chase after them. At some point, Jackie covers the egg container with a towel and along with Ash, goes behind a rock just before the Captain could make it. Jackie is seen running off with the towel, and the Captain begins chasing after him. But Ash sneaks off in the other direction with the egg.

Meanwhile Max and May split up from Brock and Lizabeth. Eventually Max and May cross paths with Ash, only to find that the Captain's right hand man was right behind them with a Beedrill. The Beedrill attacks with {{m|Pin Missile}}, Pikachu countering with Thunderbolt. Then the three try to escape, but Beedrill uses {{m|Sludge Bomb}} to block their path. Ash decides to stay behind to take care of the Beedrill, while May and Max run off with the egg. Meanwhile, Captain Phantom manages to catch up with Jackie, only to have Jackie reveal that what he was carrying was a pair of juggling balls. He throws one at Phantom, in which he smacks it towards a nearby cliff wall. The ball simply bounces back and smacks Phantom in his face. Taking advantage of the odd but fortunate turn of things, Jackie runs off, jumping on a boulder. But somehow Phantom begins picking it up, and tosses it. Jackie jumps off however, but the Captain isn't interested in him anymore and begins searching for the egg.

Max and May find themselves at split in their path, hoping that everyone is okay. Suddenly the Captain appears from behind and tries to pry the egg container from May's hands. As May struggles to keep a grip, Max jumps on Phantom, stretching out his mouth. But Phantom was pulling on the lid, and soon it popped off, sending the egg flying. May drops the container and dives in to catch the egg. Ash manages to catch up at this point, but the egg begins to shine a red light! Then the entire egg glows white before two antennae come out, and when the glow fades away, {{mov|Manaphy|Manaphy|9}} is finally born. It opens its eyes to see May, but begins crying. May tries to calm the newly born Manaphy while the Captain is disappointed that something like Manaphy was the treasure he was looking for. But even so, he's not about to give up that easily and begins to make his move. Jackie comes in time to keep Phantom busy enough for Ash, May, and Max to escape. Jackie follows shortly afterwards and the four find the trailer (which Brock and Lizabeth managed to get back to beforehand). Jackie stays behind as the others get on to ambush Phantom to delay him once more.

The trailer takes off, leaving everyone to wonder about Manaphy. It slept in May's lap, happy and peacefully. Meredith wanted to try holding it, but as soon as she held it, Manaphy began crying. After Meredith gave Manaphy back to May, it stopped crying and was happy once again. They begin to wonder if Manaphy has imprinted May as its mother, considering that it was the first thing it saw. However, Phantom is once more on their tail, and two helicopters launch grappling rods to keep themselves affixed, and also to slow the trailer down. Ship comes in from the front car, telling the others inside to get in. Meredith first goes in; helping May so she doesn't fall. Brock then steps out to help Lizabeth, followed by Max and Ash. Ship gets out last as he unlatches the trailer. This sends the helicopters flying backwards, momentarily losing control as the trailer careens off a cliff. The choppers manage to cut their grappling lines and regain control.

Meanwhile, Jessie, James, and Meowth wake up from after crashing. They find themselves on top of a ruin. Jessie mentions having a weird "dream" that she was Meowth; the Meowth mentions that he was James, and James mentions he was Jessie. They suddenly realize that it wasn't a dream and that Pokémon egg must've done something. The find {{TP|Jessie|Wobbuffet}} and {{TP|James|Mime Jr.}} standing on the edge, "agreeing" with the weird occurrences that happened. But they soon see the circus crew pulling up to the ruin. After everyone gets out, the Phantom Troop soon arrives. Jessie, James, and Meowth decide to try to get Phantom to "recruit" them so that they can let Phantom do all the work in getting the egg, and they'll steal it at an opportune time.

The gang heads down into to ruins, deeper until they reach what appears to be a dead end. Ship however holds his bracelet of seashells near a gem in the end wall. It glows to resemble a combination lock. He slides it to the right combination and a door opens up. Kai asks everyone if they have water Pokémon, since they'll be traveling down a canal. A few minutes later, Phantom steps down into the ruins, coming across the same dead end. However Phantom knows of this somehow and he pulls out a similar bracelet from his pocket. To his disappointment however, he comes across the canal, but there's no way for him to go. Getting back to the surface, Phantom finds the Rocket Trio washing his helicopter. After asking what they were doing and wanted, Jessie, James, and Meowth offer their cleaning services to Phantom, to which he promptly refuses. However, with stubbornness, the Rockets get to go along with Phantom as cleaners.

As the gang swims down the canal, Manaphy is enjoying its time in the water. They soon come up to another wall, in which is decorated with murals that tell a legend. Ship explains that there was once Ocean Temple named [[Samiya]] where water Pokémon and "people of water" had resided, and where a "King of the Sea" lived. However, evil spirits began invading, and so the king used his power to protect the temple, he encased it in a bubble and took it below the ocean. However normally it cannot be seen, but when its time for the "Prince of the Sea" to return, the moon will glow red for a brief period and Samiya will be visible. But there's a time limit once the Prince is born to return. Manaphy is this "Prince of the Sea", and so Ship plans on leading them to a port town, where he'll have a boat waiting to take Manaphy to Samiya.

Meanwhile, Phantom tries to find a possible idea to where the gang could've gone. But as his right hand man attempts to map out the route, the canal suddenly branches off into many different paths. They'll just have to spend their time finding out where they've gone.

The gang reaches a port town, where they wait for a while as Ship's boat comes along. They take a moment to rest and enjoy ice cream. Manaphy is now asleep in a bassinet, probably tired after all the swimming. Ship quickly finishes his cone as he spots his ship coming in, and warns the others that it's arrived. At the port, three of Ship's old shipmates [[Gabu]], [[Dabu]], and [[Sabu]] step out to greet their old friend, and they want to go with Ship on the expedition to Samiya (though he doesn't tell them that specifically). Ship of course introduces the gang to his old shipmates, as he used to be an avid adventurer of the seas in his boat Blue Lagoon. However, Ship only takes his family, Jackie, and Manaphy along. May is upset at this, but she knows that it's for the better that Manaphy gets released. Gabu, Dabu, and Zabu though encourage May to stop them so she could get on, and Ash, not willing to put off an adventure like this, also joins in with May to stop the boat.

Manaphy on board soon wakes up and Jackie tries to comfort it. But it soon shoots out a red lighting that hits Jackie, and then trails down into the ocean back to the port. It travels towards Ash and May, and then suddenly Ash gets his foot caught by the lightning. Then, Jackie and Ash switch bodies, leaving them confused. Manaphy is happy though to see the Jackie Ash, but the real Jackie continues running towards the end of the port.

Later on, the gang gets on the boat, Jackie and Ash exchanging comments about that weird experience they just had. Jackie however says that this is one of Manaphy's powers, {{m|Heart Swap}}. Ship then tells May that Manaphy is referred to as the Prince of the Sea. May asks Manaphy if the reason he switched Ash and Jackie was so they wouldn't leave without her. Manaphy nods happily while May gives him a nuzzle on the cheek, saying he makes her happy. Manaphy then says happy, leaving everyone to the excitement that Manaphy can talk. Meredith recalls Lizabeth's first word which was apparently "Fu Fu," meaning food. Ship then says she loved to eat and Meredith chuckles. Ash and Max try to get Manaphy to say their names, but Manaphy resumes speaking out its name. Manaphy then rubs his flipper on May's cheek and she hugs it, saying that its cute. Jackie looks at them bonding, obviously not pleased about Manaphy getting close to May. Ship says that Manaphy needs to guide them to Samiya, and that Manaphy has to be released into the water. May lets Manaphy back into the ocean, and it jumps around swimming freely.

As Manaphy swims by, Ship brings the gang down to a lower part of the boat. After releasing a hatch, a dome in front of them opens up to reveal an underwater forward observation room. And they see Manaphy swim by with the various ocean faring Pokémon. Manaphy sees May and tries to swim up to her, but it hits hard on the glass dome. It begins crying but May tries to comfort it and Manaphy is once more a happy camper. Days pass, Manaphy still following the Blue Lagoon, trying to call out to May every so often. Jackie still sees some disproving in this, as if Manaphy gets too close to May, he may not go back to Samiya. Jackie though is scouting out of the ocean, probably looking for both the location of where Samiya is or perhaps looking out for Phantom. In one instance, he was parasailing to get a much better view. Ash watched him from below, commenting how cool it must be to be a Pokémon Ranger.

The boat makes a stop over a coral reef and the gang decides to take a swim. Although May seems still a bit preoccupied on the boat still, with Manaphy sleeping in her arms. Ash gets back on the boat to find Jackie, who hands him a towel as he comes up. Ash asks Jackie how he would decide to become a Pokémon Ranger. When Jackie was much younger, he got caught in a blizzard in his homeland. He found refuge in a cave, stumbling in and shivering from the cold. A {{p|Swablu}} comes down next to him, and he realizes that the cave is filled with Swablu, {{p|Altaria}}, {{p|Sentret}}, and {{p|Furret}}. They all huddle next to him to keep warm, and he stays the night there. The next morning, the storm has cleared up and all the Pokémon begin moving out of the cave. After seeing the flock of bird Pokémon take off, he was interested in Pokémon life, and wanted to defend such, and so he's been on adventures. After hearing that story, Ash gets a bit excited and he soon jumps back into the ocean, with Buizel. May goes in as well with Manaphy, and the both of them explore the coral reef together. They both resurface and May cuddles Manaphy lovingly.

Later that night, May is sleeping outside with Manaphy on a hammock. She tells Manaphy that she loves him, and asks Manaphy if he can say "I love you." Manaphy looks at her with a questioned look on his face. May then helps him out by saying "you." Manaphy almost said it, so May repeats "you" one more time. Manaphy finally learns and says "looove you!" May praises Manaphy, and Manaphy says happy. May affectionately hugs Manaphy while Manaphy tells May he loves her. Jackie is watching from above, and is upset that Manaphy has such a loving relationship with May.

Later the next day, Brock is cooking a meal with Meredith, who finds his cooking to be very impressive. May is seen walking down the hallway towards the underwater observation when she hears Jackie talking with Ash. He tells Ash that Manaphy being all cuddly with May isn't such a good thing. After all, Manaphy is supposed to be the Prince of the Sea, a leader. How's a leader going to look if it acts how it does to May? At that, May suddenly comes in, telling Jackie that Manaphy will still do a fine job being a leader, and then she rushes out just as Lizabeth was about to enter. Manaphy is outside the boat, trying to get May's attention as May is curled up against a hallway wall. Lizabeth finds her and tries to console her, as May doesn't seem to want to let Manaphy go. To help her feel better, Lizabeth gives May her sea shell bracelet. Later that night, Manaphy sits on a rock, looking at the moon. It begins to {{m|sing}}, and as it does, Pokémon begin crowding near Manaphy. It seems Manaphy has influence on the Pokémon and perhaps its relationship with May hasn't hindered its position.

The next day, the boat comes to a stop at a crescent shaped island. Ash says that its time for Manaphy to eat. Manaphy jumps out of the water, and began looking around calling for May, for Manaphy really missed her and wanted to play with her. Ash decides to lighten up the mood by releasing his Pokémon out to play. Manaphy begins playing with Ash's Pokémon and begins playing a chasing game with {{AP|Corphish}}. Feeling much better after yesterday, May begins putting on her [[List of clothing in the anime#May|bandanna]], but it gets caught in a breeze and flies off into the ocean. Manaphy sees this and begins swimming after it as the bandanna gets caught on a Sharpedo, before falling onto a {{p|Relicanth}}. Above the surface, Corphish is still having a blast dancing in the small bay of the island before realizing everyone is back on the ship. It's already evening and everyone notices that Manaphy isn't back yet. Getting worried that something happened; Ship reveals another surprise of the Blue Lagoon. Towards the back at the bottom deck was a submarine bay. It's tethered to the boat for communication. Meredith takes the gang into the sub as Kai, Meredith, Ship, and Jackie stay behind to watch their progress.

Meanwhile in the distance, Captain Phantom has tracked down the location of the Blue Lagoon, and decides to play the waiting game. He'll simply wait for Jackie or the others to reveal where Samiya is, and then he'll make his move. Jessie, James, and Meowth, who are scrubbing the floor behind the Captain, begin confirming their plot on capturing Manaphy as well, waiting for the Captain to go into Samiya.

Meanwhile Manaphy explorers a crevice on the ocean bottom, passing by a Cloyster that has May's bandanna. But Manaphy goes a little too far out, and runs into a rough current stream before retreating back to the crevice. Manaphy notices the Bandana on its way back and the Cloyster opens up to let Manaphy take it. It hugs the bandanna for a moment before swimming back towards where the boat would be. May begins to worry that Manaphy either went away for good, or got lost. But just then, Manaphy appears outside the window of the submarine holding her bandanna. May asks Manaphy if that was what he was looking for. Manaphy affectionately cuddles the bandanna saying that it loves May. May leans up against the glass of the window saying that she loves Manaphy too. As they begin to go back though, they hit a high speed current that Manaphy ran into and lose control of the sub. The tether to the Blue Lagoon snaps and they disappear out of the Blue Lagoon's sonar. For a while, Lizabeth struggles with the controls until they see Manaphy swimming off as if wanting them to follow. Lizabeth follows Manaphy and soon afterwards, they come out of the current, but Manaphy still leads them off somewhere.

The Blue Lagoon spots the sub on sonar once again and they begin to follow it. However they notice another sub tailing them. Behind the Blue Lagoon's submarine is a smaller one belonging to Phantom. At some point, the Blue Lagoon's submarine blips out of sonar again. Underwater, it appears that it went through some kind of barrier. And then, the moon begins to transition into a red color. Soon, the water temple of Samiya appears right in front of the Blue Lagoon's submarine, with Manaphy still wanting them to follow. They find a "port" where they dock at. It appears that Samiya is encased in a bubble, with half of it full of water and is a complete water palace. Jackie fears however that the follower of the Blue Lagoon's sub is Phantom, and he dives in, capturing a Mantyke along the way to speed the process of getting down to Samiya.

As Manaphy leads the gang down a corridor, which is blocked by a waterfall. Manaphy steps up and begins to sing once more, with the temple repeating the notes in a lower tone. Then, the waterfall splits, and several more behind it split as well, opening the pathway deeper into the temple. Just then, Phantom docks at Samiya, making a little dance as he's found the temple. As he dashes onward, a pod connected at the back of the sub suddenly opens to reveal Jessie, James, and Meowth who snuck on to follow Phantom. The gang reaches what appears to be a dead end, but there's a small obelisk with some ancient writing on it. Meredith says that Ship can read it, and maybe they could go onward if he was here. Just then, Phantom makes his appearance, boasting that he could read it. It read that beyond is a treasure room of those who lived here had slept. He takes out his own bracelet and a similar combination mechanism shows. Phantom lines it up and doors open up ahead. Everyone follows after him and soon they reach a large hollow chasm of a room with openings for the many canals. A platform in the middle has an alter with crystals embedded in it, with water flowing up towards the top. Phantom begins exclaiming that he was after the crystals, but soon Manaphy decides to swim in the flow of water. But this doesn't stop Phantom, as he pulls out a crystal. Suddenly the water stops and Manaphy falls to May. The temple begins rumbling in an ominous manner. Water begins spurting out of the openings, and it's soon realized that Samiya has become unstable. At this rate, there's no time to stop Phantom, the gang heads back for the submarine. Along the way they meet up with Jackie, who tells everyone to just go back, he'll take care of Phantom.

Everyone heads back for the sub, while back in the treasure room, Phantom is plucking out more crystals. By now the water level in the room has reached about a quarter way, though the alter is safe for now from flooding. Jackie comes in, stopping Phantom from plucking out another crystal. Jackie taunts the pirate, using his acrobatic techniques to evade Phantom, while grabbing a crystal and placing it back in its place. Phantom manages to corner Jackie as he tries to place another crystal, but a column of water splash nearby, throwing both off the platform and they soon land into the flooded area. Both are taken into two different canals. Phantom pops up out onto a canal, finding the crystal just ahead of him. He rushes towards it but the crystal slips away into a smaller opening.

Ash and May worry about Jackie, wondering if he's alright. Suddenly Manaphy jumps out of May's arms and lands in the water. It wants to lead the two somewhere, but Lizabeth is worried that they might not make it back. Ash tells Lizabeth to take off, but stay nearby just in case. Manaphy then leads Ash and May up into the temple once more.

Meanwhile, Phantom decides to call it the quits about the crystals and heads back for his sub, which due to the flooding has drifted elsewhere. By the time he reaches it, Jessie, James, and Meowth are there and they plan on taking sub before Phantom can get in. However just before they can close the latch, Phantom gets a good grip on it and pulls it open, sending the three flying off into the waters to be carried away somewhere. Jackie catches up with Phantom before he could get aboard his sub. Not giving up Jackie so easily, he fights him for control of the sub, which ends up Phantom getting pushed off, and Jackie taking off with the sub, but not before Phantom could grab onto a torpedo to use to escape.

Ash and May find themselves in the treasure room, where Manaphy leaps off ahead to pull on a crystal. Ash and May gets that if all the crystals are in place, then Samiya can be saved. So they begin placing the remaining few crystals into the holes, but they are one short. The water has now begun to flood the platform, and deciding to take no more chances, the three decide to flee. But along the way, Pikachu spots a crystal that found its way on a fountain. Ash picks it up while May runs off ahead towards the edge, hoping to see Lizabeth's sub somewhere. But the flooding is showing no signs of stopping. Luckily the pod that the Rockets took happened to be near by. Ash opens it up and puts May, Manaphy and Pikachu inside. He says he'll put the last crystal in and save Samiya. Despite protests from May, Ash closes the door and runs off.

Jackie reaches the surface to where the Blue Lagoon lies. He asks if Lizabeth and the others have surfaced yet, but Ship says they're still down there since Ash and May went back inside. Jackie's a bit shocked at that, but he stays on the surface since there isn't enough time to save them.

Ash begins his route back to the treasure room by climbing up on the rafters, as the hallway he and May previously took began flooding. He finds the hallway to treasure room, but it's flooded. Taking a deep breath, he dives in and swims into the treasure room. By the time he gets there, he runs out of breath, making him drop the crystal as he frantically scrambles to reach the top of the treasure room, which by now is almost flooded. He catches site of where the crystal lands, and finds it embedded in a crack at the bottom. He swims down, taking a hold of the crystal but has trouble pulling it out. When he finally gets the crystal, he swims back up but once more his breath runs out and loses consciousness, dropping the crystal.

May begins to worry about Ash, and she hopes for his safety and wishes him luck. Manaphy uses Heart Swap to relay this to Ash, who suddenly gets a burst of energy, enough to get him back to the top of the room once more. Locating the crystal once more at the bottom, he dives down to retrieve, and ignoring how much air he has left, he swims around the alter, setting the last crystal inside. Suddenly a yellow glow fills the room. Samiya in its collapsing state, was about to collide into an ocean cliff, with the crystals in place, the temple barely misses and begins floating upwards. Meanwhile, yellow energy beams begin to snake out from the treasure room, and wrap around Samiya as it floats upwards. At the surface, everyone is back on the Blue Lagoon, and soon sees Samiya rise as the sun is rising as well.

When the temple finally settles on the surface of the ocean, May opens up the pod door. Ash has saved Samiya, but May is afraid that he drowned in the process. But something comes from the ocean behind May. Phantom pops up from the surface from his torpedo, grabbing Manaphy and soon makes a getaway. Phantom has an easy time at first, but then a yellow energy beam shoots out from the water and begins following Phantom. There's someone inside the energy beam though, and it's Ash! He pursues Phantom while the water Pokémon in the ocean begin gathering. As Phantom dives down beneath in hopes to avoid Ash, he's blocked by a school of Remoraid that limits his movement. Taking advantage of the pirate's surprise, Ash takes Manaphy away. He swims away, surprised at how many Pokémon have gathered; even the [[Legendary Pokémon|legendary]] {{p|Kyogre}} has appeared!

But not all is well; Phantom makes one last effort in capturing Manaphy by staging an attack with his large submarine. Manaphy however hops off from Ash's arms to take control. Manaphy summons all the nearby water Pokémon in the vicinity to launch a counter attack against Phantom's submarine. Most of them gather to hinder its movements while Chinchou slip into an exposed circuitry. They short out the submarine, leaving it a sitting duck. Taking this chance, Manaphy hops onto Kyogre, and Kyogre jumps out of the water, only to launch a Hyper Beam attack on the submarine, critically damaging it and all useful equipment. After the battle, Jackie, using Phantom's personal sub, finds his way to Phantom, where he's seeing him in tattered clothing holding up a heavy piece of a collapsed pillar. Behind the clothing reveals a mechanized suit, in which Jackie figures out how the old pirate was able to have superhuman strength like lifting a boulder up. Phantom's suit though overloads and the column collapses on him. Jackie climbs up on top of the wrecked sub, contacting the Ranger's Base that his mission is complete.

The crew aboard Blue Lagoon are excited to see Ash, especially having been granted the power the King had. To celebrate, Ash takes the others along in their own energy beams to explore the underwater depths around Samiya, to see all the water Pokémon that have gathered around to see the Prince of the Sea. At the end of the day, Samiya sinks down into the ocean once more to be hidden from the world. On the Blue Lagoon, May is with Manaphy, about to release it back into the ocean, this time for good. Though she has a hard time, she manages to say goodbye. Manaphy actually speaks out May's name, expressing how it loves May before jumping off into the ocean. Manaphy then swims towards Samiya as it fades away from view.

===Ending credits===
The Blue Lagoon reaches the port town, with Gabu, Dabu, and Zabu greeting them excitedly at the dock. Ash and company part ways with the circus crew as they head off to their next destination. Jackie, with the help of Officer Jenny finds and arrest Captain Phantom and his crew from the Phantom Troop. In a later adventure, Zapdos is seen flying through a mountainous region, and is captured by Jackie so he can hitch a ride on it. Ash and the gang are seen at camp during the night, conversing, and the camera pans off towards the sky.

==Manga Adaption==

[[Pokémon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea (manga)]]
 

== Trivia ==
[[Image:Cast of characters.png|thumb|right|310px|The main characters (excluding Jackie and Phantom)]]
* This movie premiered in Japan between the episodes ''[[AG183|Aipom and Circumstance]]'' and ''[[AG184|Strategy Tomorrow - Comedy Tonight!]]''.
*[[Professor Sebastian]], [[Attila]], and [[Hun]] make a cameo during The World of Pokémon scene, with a captured {{p|Rayquaza}}.
* Yuyama Kunihiko traveled to {{wp|Italy}} to visit the ruins of {{wp|Rome}}, the city of {{wp|Naples}} and the island of {{wp|Capri}} to get ideas for the setting of the movie.
* The Korean dub of the movie premiered on July 20, 2006, only 5 days after the Japanese premiere.
* The title card animation sequence begins with a depiction of the [[wp:Hexagonal lattice|hexagonal crystal lattice]] of [[wp:Ice Ih|ice]], however, the orientation of some water molecules is wrong: there should only be one hydrogen atom on every edge and one oxygen atom at every vertex.
* An ''{{wp|a capella}}'' version of ''[[Spurt!]]'' is played as the background music in the scenes where Jackie explained why he protects Pokémon and when Ash and May are swimming with {{p|Manaphy}} and {{p|Buizel}}.
* This was the last time that any sort of Pokémon anime franchise was produced using hand-painted cels.
** Because of this, this is the last time Jessie is seen with red hair.
* This was the first Pokémon movie to be dubbed by Pokémon USA, and the only one made by [[TAJ Productions]] since [[DuArt]] made ''[[The Rise of Darkrai]]''.
* In the dub, when diamonds and pearls are mentioned for the first time in the movie, Meowth says " Hey, that sounds like a [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Versions|good name for a game]]!". When they get mentioned second time, he says "Let's get through [[Pokémon: Battle Frontier|this season]]...first." Obviously he is referencing the games {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}} and the [[Pokémon: Diamond and Pearl|next season]].
**On a related note, this is the third Pokémon movie to feature a character breaking the fourth wall, the first two being ''[[The Power of One]]'' and ''[[Spell of the Unown]]''.
* Although the posters and DVD cover show Ash controlling some kind of ship, he never actually does this in the movie.
* The clothes Jackie wears during his flashback resemble {{ga|Gold}}'s.
* Jackie captures a {{p|Fearow}} with his styler, which is most likely a reference to [[Ringtown]]'s Ranger Leader {{ra|Spenser}} and his Fearow.
* Near the climax of the movie, Ash turns his hat backwards for the first time in several seasons.
*The movie aired on Cartoon Network in the UK, along with ''[[Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]'', before ''[[Destiny Deoxys]]'' was released on DVD.
*Teaser scenes that were used in the movie trailer shown at the end of the Japanese version of ''[[AG171|Pokémon Ranger - Deoxys Crisis!]]'' ultimately did not make it into the movie; such as a scene where {{Ash}} is washed away while calling for {{AP|Pikachu}}, a scene where {{an|May}}'s and [[Lizabeth]]'s bracelets glow, and a scene which shows an alternate version of the architecture of the Sea Temple, as well as a nighttime scene where {{p|Kyogre}} leaps out of the water and back in.
*In a sneak peek of the movie on a [[Pokémon Sunday]] Segment, Ash made a reference to ''[[AG155|The Green Guardian]]''. When he first meets Jack Walker in the preview, he says {{tt|セレビィに負けないくらい森とポケモンを愛してる人だったな～|It's the person who took care of the Celebi in the dark forest}}.
* This movie shares many similarities with ''[[Jirachi: Wish Maker]]''. These include {{an|May}}'s relationship with {{mov|Manaphy|Manaphy|9}} when compared to [[Max]]'s relationship with {{mov|Jirachi|Jirachi|6}}, and {{p|Kyogre}} appearing in this movie while {{p|Groudon}} appeared in Wish Maker.
* The dubbed version of this movie was the first movie to be premiered in the original widescreen format.
* This is the first dubbed version of this movie not to use the "Pokémon" logo despite the title containing the word "Pokémon". Even though fourth and fifth movie did use the logo, the colors were blue instead.
*In the {{pmin|Latin America}}n dub, when May teaches Manaphy how to talk, May speaks in Spanish and Manaphy repeats it in English. May seems to understand it anyway.
*{{ga|Brendan}} makes a cameo at the beginning of the movie, controlling a {{p|Swampert}}. This is most likely to keep in theme with the [[Rival]]'s Pokémon having a type advantage over the main character's (in this case, [[May's Blaziken]]).
* At {{wp|Target Corporation|Target}} stores in the United States, a [[Movie 9 bonus CD|bonus CD]] was bundled with the DVD release of this movie.

===Errors===
* When a bird's eye view of the young Jackie surrounded by Pokémon was shown, the long feathers on the Altaria's heads were white instead of the normal blue.
* When Ash releases his Pokémon to play with Manaphy, he has six Poké Balls in his hands. Though at the time he had six Pokémon with him ({{AP|Pikachu}}, {{AP|Swellow}}, {{AP|Sceptile}}, {{AP|Corphish}}, {{AP|Donphan}}, and {{AP|Aipom}}), Pikachu is never inside its Poké Ball.

'''Morrison''' (Japanese: '''マサムネ''' ''Masamune'') is a [[Pokémon Trainer]] who is dressed in traditional Japanese attire.

He first appeared in ''[[AG118|Less is Morrison]]'' and he returned to compete in the [[Ever Grande Conference]]. He and {{Ash}} became friends and they declared themselves as rivals for the tournament.

Morrison has a very spirited personality and he likes to challenge other people to almost everything. Due to this, he always challenges Ash to various events such as Pokémon battles or even a food eating contest. Like Ash, he too is determined and never gives up in battle.

In ''[[AG130|Choose it or Lose It!]]'', Ash and Morrison battled in the [[Ever Grande Conference]]. Morrison was confused and even depressed to battle his new friend; he refused to fight at first, and let two of his Pokémon faint, but when Ash told him he wouldn't be angry at him and that he wanted Morrison to do his best, he battled with full spirit. The battle eventually came down to both Morrison and Ash having one Pokémon left, and in the end he was defeated by Ash.

==Pokémon==
This listing is of Morrison's known [[Pokémon]]:

|vaen=Katsuyuki Konishi
|desc={{p|Metang}} is Morrison's main Pokémon. It appeared for the first time as a {{p|Beldum}} in ''[[AG118|Less is Morrison]]'', where Morrison used it in a battle against [[Ash's Pikachu]], and tied with it. Later in the episode, Morrison used Beldum along with {{p|Pikachu}} to send [[Team Rocket]] blasting off.

Morrison later used Beldum during the [[Hoenn League]]. He used it to battle against [[Jump]]'s {{p|Electabuzz}}. The fact that Beldum only knew {{m|Take Down}}, almost caused Morrison to lose. However, in the middle of the battle, Beldum [[Evolution|evolves]] into Metang and defeats Electabuzz with its newly gained {{t|Psychic}} powers.

Morrison later used Metang in his battle against Ash, sending it as his last Pokémon to battle against [[Ash's Glalie]]. Despite of a type advantage, {{p|Glalie}} was finally able to defeat Metang with a spinning {{m|Headbutt}}, winning the match for Ash.}}

As Morrison was unwilling to battle against Ash, he wasn't seen giving Girafarig so much commands to attack, and it was quickly defeated by [[Ash's Corphish]].

Girafarig's known moves are {{m|Light Screen}}, {{m|Tackle}} and {{m|Iron Tail}}.}}

In the battle, Growlithe took Gavin's Marowak as its main target. Despite pulling a good battle, Growlithe was knocked out by Marowak's {{m|Bone Club}}.

Later Morrison sent Growlithe out in his battle with Ash to face Ash's {{p|Corphish}}. Being unwilling to battle with his friend, Morrison just kept Growlithe dodging attacks, but it was quickly knocked out.

Growlithe's known moves are {{m|Flamethrower}} and {{m|Agility}}.}}

Swampert's only known move is {{m|Focus Punch}}.}}

In his battle against Ash, Morrison first sent his Steelix out against Ash's {{p|Pikachu}}, which the Iron Snake Pokémon easily defeated. Next Ash called out {{AP|Torkoal}}, but despite having a type advantage, the Coal Pokémon was finally knocked out. Ash's next Pokémon was {{AP|Grovyle|Sceptile}}, which was too fast for Steelix and finally knocked it out with {{m|Leaf Blade}}.

Steelix's known moves are {{m|DragonBreath}}, {{m|Dig}} and {{m|Iron Tail}}.}}

It then battled against Gavin's {{p|Marowak}} and won against it as well.

Later Morrison used Gligar in his battle against Ash. It defeated Ash's {{p|Grovyle}} and tied with [[Ash's Swellow]].

Gligar's known moves are {{m|Guillotine}}, {{m|Steel Wing}}, {{m|Iron Tail}} and {{m|Hidden Power}}.}}

==Trivia==
[[File:Morrison party 1.png|thumb|200px|Morrison's party prior to Beldum's evolution]]
* Coincidentally, both Morrison's Japanese and English voice actors have also voiced {{wp|Goku}} of {{wp|Dragon Ball}} and {{wp|Dragon Ball Z}}. The Brazilian voice actor also voiced a Dragon Ball Z character, but he voiced {{wp|Gohan}} (as a teenager), not Goku.
*He also bears similarities to {{wp|Yajirobe}}.
* Ash has had at least one Pokémon that Morrison has: {{AP|Gligar}}. This has happened before with Ash having the same Pokémon or Pokémon of the same evolutionary line as one of his rivals in the Pokémon League Conferences outside of [[Ritchie]]; {{AP|Grovyle}} while {{ho|Tyson}} had {{p|Sceptile}}, {{AP|Phanpy}} while Tyson had {{p|Donphan}}, he and {{Gary}} having a {{AP|Krabby}} as well as Ash having {{AP|Squirtle}} while Gary has {{TP|Gary|Blastoise}}, having {{AP|Cyndaquil}} while [[Macey]] has {{p|Quilava}}, and having {{AP|Bayleef}} while [[Vincent]] has {{TP|Vincent|Meganium}}.
*Morrison's name is also similar to that of Ash's Silver Conference opponents [[Vincent|Jackson]] and {{jo|Harrison}}. Their names all end with "-son", and share their names with famous singers ({{wp|George Harrison}}, {{wp|Jim Morrison}}, and {{wp|Michael Jackson}} respectively).
*A running gag was created with Morrison that involved him chasing his runaway [[rice ball]] (sandwich in the dub).
**Interestingly, each time he chased it he always met up with Ash, who happened to be training his {{TP|Ash|Snorunt}}/{{TP|Ash|Glalie}} at the time. Both Snorunt and Glalie have physical similarities with rice balls.

|caption=Sky view of LaRousse City
|region=Hoenn
|epicode=Destiny Deoxys}}
'''LaRousse City''' (Japanese: '''ラルース''' ''LaRousse'') is an {{pkmn|anime}}-exclusive city located in the [[Hoenn]] region and was the setting for the seventh [[Pokémon movie]], ''[[Destiny Deoxys]]'', and makes a cameo in ''[[Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]] ''.
It is a technologically advanced city with moving walkways and a large presence of "[[Block Bot|Blocky]]" robots. The city's main power source seems to be its windmills. The most famous attraction in LaRousse is the [[Battle Tower]].

==Location==
[[Image:Aurora at Night.png|thumb|right|250px|LaRousse City at night, with {{mov|Deoxys|Deoxys|7}}'s aurora in the sky]]
According to the promotional map handed out with ''Destiny Deoxys'' Japanese release, LaRousse City is located in northern [[Hoenn]], near [[Fortree City]].

==Geography==
[[Image:Deoxys overlooking LaRousse.png|250px|thumb|left|{{mov|Deoxys|Deoxys|7}} overlooking LaRousse City]]
The city is located at the {{wp|Confluence (geography)|confluence}} of two rivers in northern [[Hoenn]]. The city mainly lies on an island, including the huge park, the Battle Tower, and most of the business districts.

On the shores of the river, presumably mainland Hoenn, lies more areas of the city, though not much. Access to the island is via monorail, which wraps around the island, and a bridge over the northern part of the island.
{{-}}
==In the TCG==
In the Movie Promo set of [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]], there are cards containing Pokémon from LaRousse City. The cards on the following list all belong to Larousse.

==Trivia==
* LaRousse City is also the hometown of {{an|May}}'s rival, [[Drew]].
* This is the second time a movie-made city was based off a real city outside of Japan.
* The city itself seems to be eco-friendly; as well as being highly efficient.

===Origin===
LaRousse is based off {{wp|Vancouver}}, {{wp|British Columbia}}, {{wp|Canada}}.

==Trivia==
*Ampharos is one of only two second stage {{TCG|Lightning}} Pokémon in the TCG that was released in the same generation as its evolutionary relatives, the other being {{p|Luxray}}.
*Unlike most Electric-types, Ampharos has Speed as its lowest stat. It shares this trait with {{p|Luxray}} and {{p|Magnezone}}.
*Ampharos shares the same [[species]] name with {{p|Lanturn}}. They are both known as Light Pokémon.
*The ball on the end of Ampharos's tail became a deeper red through the generations. It wasn't originally red due to the Game Boy Color's limitations.
*Despite all of its Pokédex entries mentioning that its tail glows as a beacon, it cannot learn the move {{m|Tail Glow}}.
** This might be because, Tail Glow's Japanese name is Firefly Light and Ampharos isn't a Firefly.
===Origin===
It appears to resemble a sheep, only without the wool. Ampharos also draws some details from dragons, being most similar to the {{wp|Disney}} movie, Pete's Dragon, and even giraffes. The appearance and in-game role of this Pokémon show a connection to citadels and the ocean. Its {{p|Mareep|pre}}-{{p|Flaaffy|evolutions}} can only be caught in grassy areas near water and may possibly be a personification of a lighthouse with an {{wp|ovine}} base.
====Name origin====
An ''ampere'', or ''{{wp|amp}}'', is a measure of electrical current. ''Pharos'' is the Greek word for "lighthouse". Ampharos's Japanese name can be taken to mean 電流 ''denryū'', electric current, or 電竜 ''denryū'', electric dragon, and may include 電球 ''denkyū'', light bulb in its name, referring to its tail. Its name is also partly based on Amparo, the legendary barber/sheep-shearer of Italian myth.

==In other languages==

*[[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Pharamp - A combination of ''{{wp|Lighthouse|phare}}'' and ''amp''.
