'''Exeggutor''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ナッシー''' ''Nassy'') is a dual-type {{2t|Grass|Psychic}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Exeggcute}} when exposed to a {{evostone|Leaf Stone}}.

In [[Alola]], Exeggutor has a [[regional variant]] that is {{2t|Grass|Dragon}}. It evolves from {{p|Exeggcute}} when exposed to a {{evostone|Leaf Stone}}.

==Biology==
Exeggutor is a tall, bipedal Pokémon that strongly resembles a coconut or pineapple tree. Its legs and body resemble a tree trunk, and its legs are thick with two-toed feet and a light yellow paw pad on each foot's underside. It has leaves sprouting from the top of its body, and Exeggutor has three to six round, light yellow heads that resemble coconuts, each with differing facial expressions. Each head thinks independently of the others, so it makes a lot of noise as each head speaks its mind. If one of these heads grows too large, it falls off and groups back together to become an {{p|Exeggcute}}. [[EP043|In the anime]], Exeggutor also has been seen in groups of its own kind, meaning that it is not a solitary Pokémon. It lives in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Forest Pokémon|forests and jungles}}.

Due to the abundance of sunlight in the Alola region, Exeggutor grows over five times taller than in other regions. Its neck is thinner and much longer, causing it to resemble a {{wp|arecaceae|palm tree}}. This variant of Exeggutor has a long, tapering tail with two leaves and a fourth head on the tip. This extra head can act on its own and defend the rear. Its long neck can be used like a whip to attack enemies with its hard head. However, its neck can also be a weak point. The people of Alola claim that Alolan Exeggutor is this Pokémon's true form. <ref>[http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon/alolan-exeggutor/ Pokémon Sun and Moon]</ref>

Exeggutor and its pre-evolved form are the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] that can learn {{m|Barrage}}.

==Trivia==
[[File:JPJungleBoosterbox.jpg|thumb|An elongated Exeggutor]]
* Two of {{Ash}}'s Pokémon in the anime have evolved after fighting and defeating Exeggutor. [[Ash's Charmander]] evolved into {{p|Charmeleon}} after defeating several Exeggutor, with some help from [[Melvin]]'s fire power. Later on, [[Ash's Krabby]] evolved into Kingler after defeating [[Mandi]]'s Exeggutor in the first round of the [[Indigo Plateau Conference]].
* Exeggutor is [[Tsunekazu Ishihara]]'s favorite Pokémon. He used it all throughout the debugging and testing of {{game|Red and Green|s}}.
* The artwork for the Japanese [[Jungle (TCG)]] booster box depicts Exeggutor with an elongated body and no visible legs.
* Alolan Exeggutor is the tallest {{Type|Grass}} and {{Type|Dragon}} Pokémon.
** Alolan Exggutor is also the heaviest {{Type|Grass}} Pokémon.

===Origin===
It appears to be based on a {{wp|coconut}} tree, a young {{wp|dracaena cinnabari}}, or possibly the Japanese monster {{wp|Jinmenju}}, a tree that grows human heads (that are always smiling). It might also be inspired by a {{wp|Hura crepitans|sandbox tree}}.

Exeggutor's Alola Form more closely resembles a coconut tree. Its type my be a reference to the {{wp|dracaena}}, also called "dragons blood plant." It may also be a pun inspired by the {{wp|Coco_(folklore)#Physical_representations|Coca}}, a dragon whose name shares the same origins as the word ''coconut''.

====Name origin====
Exeggutor may be a combination of ''egg'' and ''executor''.

Nassy is derived from ココナッツ ''kokonattsu'' (coconuts) and 椰子 ''yashi'' (palm tree).

'''Cottonee''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''モンメン''' ''Monmen'') is a dual-type {{2t|Grass|Fairy}} Pokémon. Prior to [[Generation VI]], it was a pure {{type|Grass}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Whimsicott}} when exposed to a {{evostone|Sun Stone}}.

==Biology==
Cottonee is a white, circular Pokémon. It has white, puffy sections on the top of its head and its underside. Behind it is a green, star shaped section similar to the area where a plant connects to its produce. It has orange, oval-shaped eyes, and furled, notched leaves on the sides of its body.

Cottonee is blown around by the wind because of its lightweight composition. The only circumstance in which it cannot be blown by wind is when it has been soaked by rain, which weighs it down and makes it soggy. Afterwards, this Pokémon will stay under a tree until it dries, so that it may be blown by the wind again. [[BW029|During the mating season]], Cottonee blow in the wind in large groups. Its cotton can be used as a defensive mechanism that aids its self-defense.

==In the anime==

Part 1]]'', ''[[BW060|Stopping the Rage of Legends!

'''Sandshrew''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''サンド''' ''Sand'') is a {{type|Ground}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolve]]s into {{p|Sandslash}} starting at [[level]] 22.

In [[Alola]], Sandshrew has a [[regional variant]] that is {{2t|Ice|Steel}}. It evolves into Alolan Sandslash when exposed to an {{evostone|Ice Stone}}.

==Biology==
[[File:Sandshrew Camouflage.png|thumb|200px|left|Sandshrew blending in with its surroundings]]
Sandshrew is a bipedal mammalian Pokémon, but runs on all fours [[EP008|in the anime]]. Its yellow hide is dry, tough, blends in with desert sand, and has a brick pattern, but its underbelly and muzzle are white. Sandshrew has blue, almond-shaped eyes, a pointed snout, and triangular ears with white insides. Its tail is thick and conical. It has two long claws on each foot and three sharp claws on its forepaws, which are used to burrow.

Sandshrew spends much of its time hidden underground in deep burrows. It only emerges to hunt, which it does by waiting within its burrow to instantly lunge out and drag in passing prey. Sandshrew can quickly curl into a tight ball to protect itself from great falls and opponents, but may also throw sand at attackers. While its body can efficiently absorb water to facilitate life in the {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Rough-terrain Pokémon|desert}}, Sandshrew [[EP006|has been found]] in caves as well.

In the Alola region, Sandshrew migrated to snowy mountains due to the volcanic activity near the desert areas. Its body is a light, icy blue and with a cream-colored belly and muzzle. Its head now resembles an {{wp|igloo}}. Thicker plates form a dome around its head and its ears resemble an igloo's entrances. In adapting to this cold climate, its body became larger and heavier with a shell of ice covering its hide. The steel-like covering grants it extra defense, but it is unable to curl into a ball like its desert counterpart. Alolan Sandshrew's claws allow it to move without slipping on icy surfaces, but it slides on its stomach when it needs to move quickly.<ref>[http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon/alolan-sandshrew/ Pokémon Sun and Moon]</ref>

* Alolan Sandshrew has the lowest base {{stat|Special Attack}} of any Pokémon, tied with {{p|Shuckle}}, {{p|Feebas}} and {{p|Bonsly}}.

===Origin===
{{bulbanews|On the Origin of Species: Sandshrew and Sandslash}}
Sandshrew is based on the {{wp|armadillo}}, a mammal that curls up into a ball, has sharp claws, and lives in desert regions. Both Sandshrew and {{p|Sandslash}} are mentioned to have poisonous claws, similar to how some species of the {{wp|shrew}} are poisonous. Sandshrew also closely resembles an {{wp|pangolin}}.

Alolan Sandshrew seems to also be based on an {{wp|igloo}}.

====Name origin====
Sandshrew is a combination of ''sand'' and ''{{wp|shrew}}''.

Sand is simply ''sand''.

'''Dartrix''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''フクスロー''' ''Fukuthrow'') is a dual-type {{2t|Grass|Flying}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Rowlet}} starting at [[level]] 17 and evolves into {{p|Decidueye}} starting at level 34.

==Biology==
Dartrix is an avian Pokémon that resembles an owl. Most of its plumage is white, but it has a dark brown hood covering its head, shoulders, and back. Its heart-shaped, {{wp|facial disc}} is also white, and it has large eyes with dark irises that usually appear closed, a stubby beak that has a white upper jaw and orange-brown lower jaw, and two short tufts of feathers on the back of its head. Two green leaves curve around its face, resembling an {{wp|asymmetric cut}}; the leaf on its right is longer than the one on the left. Under its chin are two smaller leaves that resemble a bowtie, and there are two pointed ones on its rear that form its tail. Its wings have two tan spots on the upper side and leafy plumage close to the body on the underside. Within the leaves under its wings are two orange-brown objects similar to seeds. Dartrix has orange-brown talons with two toes facing forward and one facing backward.

This alert Pokémon is sensitive to the presence of others around it, and is capable of launching attacks on unseen enemies behind it. Razor-sharp quills are stored inside its wings, and it can propel them with astounding precision. By bending the feathers, it can even alter the trajectory of its strikes. Dartrix also spends a great deal of time grooming its feathers to maintain its appearance. This compulsion will occasionally lead to it losing focus when its plumage is ruffled or dirty, even retiring from battle to preen. It has been described as a bit of a birdbrain as it has a tendency to bungle things up. Its desperate struggle to cover its mistakes sometimes makes the situation messier than ever. A Trainer who helps this Pokémon through this difficult stage will allow it to reach its full strength.<ref>http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon/dartrix/</ref>

'''Rowlet''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''モクロー''' ''Mokuroh'') is a dual-type {{2t|Grass|Flying}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Dartrix}} starting at [[level]] 17, which evolves into {{p|Decidueye}} starting at level 34.

Along with {{p|Litten}} and {{p|Popplio}}, Rowlet is one of three [[starter Pokémon]] of [[Alola]] available at the beginning of [[Pokémon Sun and Moon]].

Along with {{p|Litten}} and {{p|Popplio}}, it was the second [[Generation VII]] Pokémon to be revealed to the public on May 10, 2016.

==Biology==
Rowlet is a small, avian Pokémon resembling a young owl with a round body and short legs. Its plumage is primarily brown with a white underside and {{wp|facial disc}}. The facial disc itself is in the shape of two overlapping circles. It has large black eyes and stubby beak. The top part of its beak is white, while the lower half is an orange-brown. Its feet have two forward-facing toes and one backward facing toe; they are the same color as the lower half of its beak. Two leaves sprout form its chest, arranged so that they resemble a bowtie. Additional leaves line the undersides of its wings and form its tail. A nocturnal Pokémon, it stores energy during the day through photosynthesis. It approaches opponents by silently gliding, before unleashing a volley of kicks. This Pokémon is able to rotate its head almost 180 degrees, and has excellent night vision. <ref>http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon/rowlet/</ref>

'''Primarina''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''アシレーヌ''' ''Ashirene'') is a dual-type {{2t|Water|Fairy}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Brionne}} starting at [[level]] 34. It is the final form of {{p|Popplio}}.

==Biology==
Primarina is a marine Pokémon that resembles a cross between a sea lion and a mermaid. Most of its body is white, but it has a long, fish-like tail. It has a long snout with round, pink nose, bright blue eyes with long white eyelashes, and long light blue hair trailing off the back of its head. A {{wp|tiara}}-like structure rests on its forehead, consisting of a line of pearls with a pink sea star at one corner and a thin, transparent blue fin extending back over its hair. Its hair is contained to a {{wp|ponytail}} by two strings of pearls. There are three fins similar to the one on its crown on its body: one that drapes around its shoulders and chest, one around its waist where the fishtail begins, and one near the tip of its tail. It has long front fins with three digits. Primarina's long fish tail is bright blue with small pointed, pink fins around its hips. The tip of the tail is white.

Primarina uses water balloons and its voice as its main weapons. Water balloons are releases as it dances, and are controlled by its voice. In the moonlight, the balloons glitter and create a beautiful scene. However, some of the balloons are explosive and triggered by touch. This Pokémon uses the non-explosive balloons as platforms to tease opponents.<ref>http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon/primarina/</ref> Because its voice is instrumental in its battle strategy, its care should be a priority for Trainers. The melody it uses has been passed down for generations.

'''Brionne''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''オシャマリ''' ''Osyamari'') is a {{type|Water}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Popplio}} starting at [[level]] 17 and evolves into {{p|Primarina}} starting at level 34.

==Biology==
Brionne is a light blue, {{wp|pinniped}} Pokémon with three ruffle-like growths around its body. The first ruffle is just under its front flippers, while the last is shortly before the tail. The ruffles alternate white and pale blue. Its long ears are made up of three segments that lighten and increase in size towards the tip; the first segment is ovoid, while the latter two are spherical. It has a long, conical snout with a white tip, a spherical pink nose, and large dark eyes with pinkish pupils. Its front flippers are much longer than its tail flippers, although both have white tips. There are three digits on the front flippers.

While Brionne normally learns to dance from members of colony, it can also learn to dance from humans. It works hard to memorize each dance through imitation. It is capable of dancing in perfect time with others, even if it’s never danced with them before. Large groups of Brionne can be seen dancing together on moonlit nights. Its battle strategy consists of dancing while creating water balloons. The dance confuses the opponent, and during this weakness, Brionne slaps the balloons toward the target where they explode. Only those who have earned its trust can see this Pokémon when it is sad. It will otherwise always act cheerful and never allow its sorrow to show.<ref>http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon/brionne/</ref>

'''Popplio''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''アシマリ''' ''Ashimari'') is a {{type|Water}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Brionne}} starting at [[level]] 17, which evolves into {{p|Primarina}} starting at level 34.

Along with {{p|Rowlet}} and {{p|Litten}}, Popplio is one of three [[starter Pokémon]] of [[Alola]] available at the beginning of [[Pokémon Sun and Moon]].

Along with {{p|Rowlet}} and {{p|Litten}}, it was the second [[Generation VII]] Pokémon to be revealed to the public on May 10, 2016.

==Biology==
Popplio is a {{wp|pinniped}} Pokémon that is primarily blue. It has large eyes, a long, white snout with black whiskers, and round, pink nose. There is a small, rounded earflap on each side of its head. Around its neck is a light blue ruff, which extends past its shoulders. It has four flippers. The front flippers are larger than the hind, and have white markings separating its toes. Popplio is able to snort bubbles of water from its nose, which it uses as part of its battle strategy, and it can swim at 25 mph (40 km/h). On land, it uses the elasticity of its bubbles to perform acrobatic stunts and jumps.<ref> http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon/popplio/</ref>

==Trivia==
===Origin===
While known as the {{wp|sea lion}} Poke'mon, Popplio is closer in appearance to the {{wp|eared seal}} since it possesses pinnae and hind flippers that point away from the body.
====Name origin====
Popplio may be a combination of ''sea lion pup'', ''pop'', ''pōpō'' (Hawaiian for ball), and ''ʻīlio-holo-i-ka-uaua'' (Hawaiian for the {{wp|Hawaiian monk seal}}; meaning "dog that runs in rough water").

Ashimari may be a combination of 海驢 ''ashika'' (sea lion), 鞠 ''mari'' (ball), and ''marine''.

Akarroa: /* Intro */

I'm user Akarroa and for some reason forums don't load for me so I'm trapped in a purgatory of being unable to justify my edits or have discussions so I look like a 12-year-old troll to everyone.
@mods end my suffering.

== Small group ==

Pumpkinking, early Normal-type Pokémon like Patrat and Bunnelby is too small of a group to note right so I hidden a piece of trivia on each of the Pokémon pages anyway. --[[User:Cinday123|Cinday123]] ''([[User talk:Cinday123|Talk]])'' 04:38, 22 March 2014 (UTC)

== Japanese seiyū ==

Hello, I've noticed that you've changed the term "seiyū" to "voice actor" on [[Becky]]'s page twice. I won't undo your revision because we really shouldn't get into an edit war, but I have to remind you that the term "seiyū" is used when referring to Japanese voice actors in order to distinguish them from English voice actors. It's also a rule {{u|Kenji-girl}} established on the [[Project VA#Article Structure|Project VA]] page.

Also, you suggested that the "[[List of Japanese voice actors]]" page use the term "seiyū" but then it'd be inconsistent with Becky's page...either we'd have to change both uses of "seiyū" to "voice actor" for both Becky's and the list's pages, or else we'd have to do the opposite for all other VA articles. [[Special:Contributions/GamerGeek|☆]][[User:GamerGeek|Gamer]][[User talk:GamerGeek|Geek]][[Steelix (Pokémon)|☆]] 22:15, 25 March 2014 (UTC)
:I didn't change it twice. After my first edit, I saw your edit summary pointing out Project VA's guideline, and [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Becky&diff=2094489&oldid=2094488 as you can see,] my second edit was merely to add a Wikipedia link. I don't see how using one or the other ("seiyu" or "voice actor") on all pages is inconsistent; if anything, the way we have it now is inconsistent, as we use two different terms on different parts of the wiki. We should pick one and be consistent with it across all pages. [[User:Pumpkinking0192|Pumpkinking0192]] ([[User talk:Pumpkinking0192|talk]]) 02:45, 26 March 2014 (UTC)

== Evolution ==

Evolution and its derivatives are always capitalized according to the Pokémon Syntax, what's wrong with it? --[[User:Cinday123|Cinday123]] ''([[User talk:Cinday123|Talk]])'' 00:49, 6 April 2014 (UTC)
:It'd be nice if you had cited that source in the first place. [[User:Pumpkinking0192|Pumpkinking0192]] ([[User talk:Pumpkinking0192|talk]]) 00:50, 6 April 2014 (UTC)
::And please check {{u|SnorlaxMonster/Pokémon Syntax|the Pokémon Syntax}} if you noticed. --[[User:Cinday123|Cinday123]] ''([[User talk:Cinday123|Talk]])'' 00:53, 6 April 2014 (UTC)
:::Don't patronize me. I already acknowledged that I saw your source. [[User:Pumpkinking0192|Pumpkinking0192]] ([[User talk:Pumpkinking0192|talk]]) 00:55, 6 April 2014 (UTC)

== Aqua Ribbon/Wallace Cup ==

([http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Dawn_(anime)&diff=2104717&oldid=2104703 link]) It does, but I was going for with a '''Ctrl+F''''ble solution here. And perhaps speaking just for myself, but I initially didn't even know the winner gets an Aqua Ribbon, so I wouldn't even know where to look.

Would you agree with simply moving it to the end, meaning while not getting in the way, we'd still have it easily noticeable? ([http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Dawn_(anime)&action=edit&section=10 edit link]):
* {{to|Floaroma}} [[Ribbon]] (''[[DP027|Settling a Not-So-Old Score!]]'')
* {{DL|Ribbon|Aqua}} Ribbon (''[[DP079|Strategy with a Smile!]]'') (winner of the [[Wallace Cup]])
* {{to|Celestic}} Ribbon (''[[DP095|Battling The Generation Gap!]]'')
* {{to|Chocovine}} Ribbon (''[[DP114|Another One Gabites the Dust!]]'')
* {{to|Daybreak}} Ribbon (''[[DP162|Playing the Performance Encore!]]'')
--'''[[User:Det|Det]][[User talk:Det|talk]]''' 16:19, 14 April 2014 (UTC)
:The Aqua Ribbon is not the winner of the Wallace Cup, though, so that's not grammatically accurate. Would either "Aqua Ribbon for winning the Wallace Cup (Strategy with a Smile!)" or "Aqua Ribbon (Strategy with a Smile!) (for winning the Wallace Cup)" be sufficient? [[User:Pumpkinking0192|Pumpkinking0192]] ([[User talk:Pumpkinking0192|talk]]) 17:18, 14 April 2014 (UTC)
::Well, I've learnt not fight you people too much over what ''I'' think is right, so as long as it mentions that "Wallace Cup", I'm happy with what you think is best.
::But to me the first suggestion seems a little "clumsy", though, as it [[Dawn_(anime)#Contests|deviates]] a bit too much from the rest and as a sentence might make you think <nowiki>'</nowiki>''well, why not name all the other Cups too?''<nowiki>'</nowiki> (which I don't think even have names).
::I'd personally go with either of these (the first one is yours):
::* {{DL|Ribbon|Aqua}} Ribbon (''[[DP079|Strategy with a Smile!]]'') (for winning the [[Wallace Cup]])
::* {{DL|Ribbon|Aqua}} Ribbon (for winning the [[Wallace Cup]] in ''[[DP079|Strategy with a Smile!]]'')

== Logical quotes ==

Should we just leave it the way it was when added, first come/first serve? [[User:Pikachu Bros.|Pikachu Bros.]] ([[User talk:Pikachu Bros.|talk]]) 15:18, 15 April 2014 (UTC)
:I don't normally believe in compromising on ideological grounds, but in this case it's in my favor, so I suppose so. [[User:Pumpkinking0192|Pumpkinking0192]] ([[User talk:Pumpkinking0192|talk]]) 15:26, 15 April 2014 (UTC)

== Scientific Trivia ==

Sorry to bother you, but could you help me understand a little better why you thought the piece of trivia on Steelix's page shouldn't have been there? I know it's no big deal, but pointing out something that is scientifically incorrect seems like a valid thing to put in a trivia section to me. [[User:Aggron989|''AGG'']][[User talk:Aggron989|''RON'']][[Special:Contributions/Aggron989|''989'']] 00:54, 28 April 2014 (UTC)
:For the same reason that trivia about {{p|Wailord}} being less dense than air has been repeatedly removed from its page — it has to make assumptions about the Pokemon world working the same way as ours, when it clearly doesn't. Aside from the existence of Pokemon themselves, there are tons and tons of other completely ridiculous things in the Pokedex — Alakazam having an IQ of 5000, Ponyta's hooves being harder than diamonds, etc. Simply put, the Pokedex is just not a place for any kind of scientific data that makes sense in our world. [[User:Pumpkinking0192|Pumpkinking0192]] ([[User talk:Pumpkinking0192|talk]]) 03:12, 28 April 2014 (UTC)
::I hope you'll pardon the intrusion, but I'd also note that Steelix's entries only say its composition is diamond''like'', not that it is necessarily ''made of'' diamonds. (Others even say it is ''harder'' than diamonds, which should imply that it ''cannot'' be made of them.) So the trivia point was off the mark in the first place. [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 03:29, 28 April 2014 (UTC)

== Shuckle trivia ==

Couldn't Shuckle potentially get Ice Ball through Mimic?--[[User:Cold|Cold]] ([[User talk:Cold|talk]]) 20:47, 29 April 2014 (UTC)
:True. That wasn't listed in any of the original discussion about the trivium, though, so I hope it's understandable that I overlooked it, especially since Shuckle can't even get Mimic unless it's migrated forward all the way from FRLG or XD. [[User:Pumpkinking0192|Pumpkinking0192]] ([[User talk:Pumpkinking0192|talk]]) 21:52, 29 April 2014 (UTC)

==Mega stat trivia==
Just so you know, Dennou made it [[User talk:Dennou Zenshi#Type/stat superlative trivia|pretty clear]] that that was just an opinion and is by no means binding. Now, I've seen SnorlaxMonster remove such trivia as well, so it's basically a ''de facto'' rule. I only decided to add the exclusion rather than remove the whole trivia because there has been no official rule. In my opinion, Mega Evolutions are not like pseudo-legendaries for several reasons: they are alternate forms, not just unusually strong Pokémon; they are not just a fan designation based on stats; and they are temporary, in-battle-only changes, which basically makes them no different than a stat-boosting move. As you can see from [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Archeops_(Pok%C3%A9mon)&curid=116027&diff=2114172&oldid=2114166 our edits], someone thought it notable that Archeops had the highest BST of all Fossil Pokémon, a group with only 11 members. I'd say that small groups like Fossils or Babies or starters should only note the highest BST, while larger groups like types and legendaries should note each highest stat as well. (Sorry for the essay, lol). --[[User:IWannaBeTheVeryBest|The]]Very[[User talk:IWannaBeTheVeryBest|Best]] 05:21, 4 May 2014 (UTC)
:And in my opinion, any opinion by a staff member, even if explicitly non-binding, is better than having no policy at all, and is thus good enough to apply until another staff member disagrees. But I see your point, and agree that small groups shouldn't note such things. [[User:Pumpkinking0192|Pumpkinking0192]] ([[User talk:Pumpkinking0192|talk]]) 05:58, 4 May 2014 (UTC)

==Pokédex trivia==
Nice work on dealing with removing all the trivia from those Pokédex trivia pages. Just so you are aware the only reason I added that trivia piece for the Kanto Pokédex regarding Magnemite and Magneton was that my attempt to alter the template itself regarding that information itself failed when I previewed it, so I decided to add that trivia piece instead. -[[User:Tyler53841|Tyler53841]] ([[User talk:Tyler53841|talk]]) 22:48, 7 May 2014 (UTC)

== Bestow ==

I am quite surprised this happened! What I did on Bestow's page was remove 'In other generations' section, for the reason that it is still the image from Generation V which goes in the main infobox and it is hence pointless to create a separate section for the same image. As you might check with moves like {{m|Snarl}}, and {{m|Simple Beam}}, and {{m|Entrainment}}, no 'In other generations' has been mentioned on their pages as well due to the same reason. So I would like to ask what prompted you to revert my edits (and call me a vandal on the top of that; it really hurt me!) when a similar pattern is followed for other Generation V moves. [[User:Harryghost|Harryghost]] ([[User talk:Harryghost|talk]]) 11:47, 6 May 2016 (UTC)
:My bad. Somehow I managed to think the infobox image was from Gen VI — although now I can't comprehend why I would think that, as it's clearly pixelated rather than a 3D model. Vandalism was the only reason that occurred to me for why someone would remove what I thought was not a redundant image. I humbly apologize.

== Nature Power revert ==

How is that self evident? The point of the articles is to educate the reader on the intricacies of the moves, and it can't do that if information is left up in the air. in your rationel, it should be evident that Hidden Power is affected by the abilities, however that is not the case. Hidden Power is a normal type move, but it is not treated as one by the ability.

Moves behave in all kinds of unpredictable ways, like how Curse places a curse on the user if they have protean.

For all the reader knows, if a Pokemon has acquired Refrigerate and then uses Nature Power while Electric Terrain is on the field, the move would be a Ice-type thunderbolt just like how Normalize makes Thunderwave a normal-type move that can bypass ground's immunity. The problem is, it won't, so if you try to use Nature Power against a ground type in this scenario, all you're going to do is throw away a move because it'll still be immune. [[User:Yamitora1|Yamitora1]] ([[User talk:Yamitora1|talk]]) 21:51, 29 May 2016 (UTC)
:It's self-evident because Nature Power is merely "calling" the other move in the same way Metronome does. Since "called moves act the same as they do if they're used normally" is a general rule, it's only exceptions to that rule that need to be noted, since a reader can always easily navigate to the called move's page to read about it. If we wrote about every called move's interactions with everything else in the game (especially, god forbid, on a page like Metronome) it would balloon out of control.

== Zygarde ==

Bringing this up here before I do any further edits. The Zygarde section seems to put a lot of emphasis on trying to justify the Loki's children theory, and Norse mythology in general. Leaving little room for other interpretations. If you want to trim down the section I suggest removing a lot of the justification for these theories too. Like how are long lines fine like this one: ''Zygarde Complete Forme may be based on Hel, the ruler of {{wp|Hel (location)|Helheim}}, the realm of the dead in Nordic myth. She is often depicted as a half alive and half dead being, which may have inspired Zygarde's theme of balance between life and death.'' But a short note that Complete may be based on a combined Mecha not? Complete has a very strong physical appearance and generally looks inorganic, this in contrast to Hel who is frail. The Mecha note can help give insight into that.

Flatworms being able to form into bigger multi-cellular creatures is incorrect, they can just split into several individuals if cut in two, but not actually merge. Flatworms should either be left out of that sentence completely or get their own specifying that case. I support the first. Also I think Euglena is worth mentioning because they are the creatures that visually look the most like Zygarde Core, on top of the photosynthesis link.

:I'm just trying to avoid excessive detail. Which interpretations get focus and which don't are something that I have no particular stance on.

==Reggie==
Hi there! Would you please explain why you removed [[Reggie]] from the "Other participants" section in the article for the [[Lily of the Valley Conference]]? The reason you gave in the edit summary is really not good enough.

As you must know, our articles can be {{cat|Articles needing more information|incomplete}}. It's not because Reggie's participation in the League isn't mentioned on his article that you should go and remove it from other pages. Your edit created an inconsistency because Reggie is still listed as a participant in the pages for the [[Indigo Plateau Conference|Indigo]], [[Silver Conference|Silver]], and [[Ever Grande Conference]]s.

As a rule of thumb, you should always look for a source or watch the episodes yourself instead of guessing. And if I had to guess, I'd say the chances of him having participated in these League tournaments are high considering he got eight Badges from Kanto, Johto, Hoenn, and Sinnoh. --[[User:Mikuri|'''Mi''']][[User talk: Mikuri|'''ku''']][[Special:Contributions/Mikuri|'''ri''']] 00:20, 29 July 2016 (UTC)
:True, our articles can be incomplete. But the same user who added it had just had [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Lily_of_the_Valley_Conference&diff=2474800&oldid=2474773 other contributions to the same article reverted], so I thought the odds were more likely that it was another bad contribution than that several of our pages were wrong. We can't simply rely on "the chances" of him having participated based on the number of his Badges; someone must cite the episode in which it's explicitly stated that he had participated in the past. The onus of proof is on the side trying to change the status quo, and the status quo for years has been that he hasn't been listed as a prior participant.

== Eggs in Pokemon GO ==

You asked me to put sources there, but I wasn't sure if you wanted them on the page or just wanted to see them, so I'm showing them to you first.
http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2016-08-08-pokemon-go-eggs-chart-hatching-2km-5km-10km-eggs
http://www.serebii.net/pokemongo/eggs.shtml (doesn't mention anything about it being possible)
https://www.reddit.com/r/TheSilphRoad/comments/4w9d00/have_you_hatched_eggs_great_i_want_you_to_tell_me/ (about region exclusives)
https://www.reddit.com/r/TheSilphRoad/comments/4wmkdt/ign_is_claiming_higher_km_eggs_have_the_potential/ (throwing this one up too)

Let me explain. Basically, you don't get an a bulletproof source, since Niantic haven't said anything themselves. But all evidence points towards what I edited into the two pages. The last reddit dicussion I posted clears the misunderstanding. IGN was incorrect about it in their initial article because they based it on surveys. Players might have claimed to have seen the same species hatch in Eggs with different hatching distances in those surveys, but today, more than a month after release, it has yet to be proved that they can and most sites and players have caught up on that now so I thought it was time for Bulbapedia to do the same thing. They also incorrectly put Mr. Mime down as a Pokemon that can hatch from 5km Eggs. This was likely because the other three region exlcusives comes from 5km Eggs and thus it was a good assumption, but nevertheless it's not true, which you'll once again learn by looking more into it.

In short, what I edited can't be proved 100%, but neither could what I edited out and now that all evidence points towards what I edited in to be correct, I fully believe that's what the articles should go by. I hope this is enough to convince you. [[User:Ctesjbuvf|Ctesjbuvf]] ([[User talk:Ctesjbuvf|talk]]) 16:25, 9 August 2016 (UTC)
:Well, that's about as bulletproof as we can expect, considering Niantic's hush-hush nature.

== Mini-Noses ==

Hi! I realise that you removed the Mini-Noses origin theory, and I wanted to discuss about it with you. The Tangata Manu was a competition on Easter Island, and it's unknown if Tangata Manu had co-existed with Moai heads and [http://media.offexploring.co.uk/photos/tanya_claudia/photos/DSC05698.jpg the rock art resembles the Mini-Noses]. In the other hand, {{wp|Makemake_(deity)|Make-Make}} resembles more the design and it is other deity on the Rapa Nui mithology.

Exists another possibility, but it's more unknown: [https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/1/1d/Navel-of-the-World-2013.jpg The Navel of the World], a lithic site near Ahu Te Pito Kura.

== Why did you delete Poke'mon that can't learn Power Gem ==

I get that you said "it's not our place to judge who should learn what moves" but it didn't say they ''should'' know Power Gem, just that they couldn't despite the first impressions one might have based on appearance. Also handy as a quick list for someone wondering why their Poke isn't learning it even if it has more jewels on it than Rebecca Sugar. I should ''also'' point out in this same vein of logic you may want to then edit the Trivia section of the Tail Glow page that says Manaphy can learn Tail Glow despite not having a tail and in Ice Punch where it say Wooper can learn this move despite not having hands.

::In any case, "can-but-shouldn't" is an assumption, true, but it's a pretty clear-cut logistical one... meanwhile, "can't-but-should" fails to acknowledge that biology is not the sole reason that the developers allow certain Pokemon to learn certain moves (game balance is another).

While I can understand your point, my argument was that it was not to say "hey they should be able to learn this" but rather "while, as a new trainer, you would assume they could, here's a bit of info" and that it was merely stating fact and not implying fault with the game or design anything of the like. I also feel it ''is'' quite similar to trivia of what they can learn as both make assumptions of their capabilities based on what our perceptions of their physiology would be like based on what we know from our world that are then thrown out due to the way their world works.

== Japanese seiyū ==

Hello, I've noticed that you've changed the term "seiyū" to "voice actor" on [[Becky]]'s page twice. I won't undo your revision because we really shouldn't get into an edit war, but I have to remind you that the term "seiyū" is used when referring to Japanese voice actors in order to distinguish them from English voice actors. It's also a rule {{u|Kenji-girl}} established on the [[Project VA#Article Structure|Project VA]] page.

Also, you suggested that the "[[List of Japanese voice actors]]" page use the term "seiyū" but then it'd be inconsistent with Becky's page...either we'd have to change both uses of "seiyū" to "voice actor" for both Becky's and the list's pages, or else we'd have to do the opposite for all other VA articles.

Would you agree with simply moving it to the end, meaning while not getting in the way, we'd still have it easily noticeable? ([http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Dawn_(anime)&action=edit&section=10 edit link]):

Sorry to bother you, but could you help me understand a little better why you thought the piece of trivia on Steelix's page shouldn't have been there?

:For the same reason that trivia about {{p|Wailord}} being less dense than air has been repeatedly removed from its page — it has to make assumptions about the Pokemon world working the same way as ours, when it clearly doesn't. Aside from the existence of Pokemon themselves, there are tons and tons of other completely ridiculous things in the Pokedex — Alakazam having an IQ of 5000, Ponyta's hooves being harder than diamonds, etc. Simply put, the Pokedex is just not a place for any kind of scientific data that makes sense in our world.

==Mega stat trivia==
Just so you know, Dennou made it [[User talk:Dennou Zenshi#Type/stat superlative trivia|pretty clear]] that that was just an opinion and is by no means binding. Now, I've seen SnorlaxMonster remove such trivia as well, so it's basically a ''de facto'' rule. I only decided to add the exclusion rather than remove the whole trivia because there has been no official rule. In my opinion, Mega Evolutions are not like pseudo-legendaries for several reasons: they are alternate forms, not just unusually strong Pokémon; they are not just a fan designation based on stats; and they are temporary, in-battle-only changes, which basically makes them no different than a stat-boosting move. As you can see from [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Archeops_(Pok%C3%A9mon)&curid=116027&diff=2114172&oldid=2114166 our edits], someone thought it notable that Archeops had the highest BST of all Fossil Pokémon, a group with only 11 members. I'd say that small groups like Fossils or Babies or starters should only note the highest BST, while larger groups like types and legendaries should note each highest stat as well. (Sorry for the essay, lol). --[[User:IWannaBeTheVeryBest|The]]Very[[User talk:IWannaBeTheVeryBest|Best]] 05:21, 4 May 2014 (UTC)

==Pokédex trivia==
Nice work on dealing with removing all the trivia from those Pokédex trivia pages.

== Bestow ==

I am quite surprised this happened! What I did on Bestow's page was remove 'In other generations' section, for the reason that it is still the image from Generation V which goes in the main infobox and it is hence pointless to create a separate section for the same image. As you might check with moves like {{m|Snarl}}, and {{m|Simple Beam}}, and {{m|Entrainment}}, no 'In other generations' has been mentioned on their pages as well due to the same reason. So I would like to ask what prompted you to revert my edits (and call me a vandal on the top of that; it really hurt me!) when a similar pattern is followed for other Generation V moves. [[User:Harryghost|Harryghost]] ([[User talk:Harryghost|talk]]) 11:47, 6 May 2016 (UTC)
:My bad. Somehow I managed to think the infobox image was from Gen VI — although now I can't comprehend why I would think that, as it's clearly pixelated rather than a 3D model.

== Nature Power revert ==

How is that self evident? The point of the articles is to educate the reader on the intricacies of the moves, and it can't do that if information is left up in the air. in your rationel, it should be evident that Hidden Power is affected by the abilities, however that is not the case. Hidden Power is a normal type move, but it is not treated as one by the ability.

Moves behave in all kinds of unpredictable ways, like how Curse places a curse on the user if they have protean.

For all the reader knows, if a Pokemon has acquired Refrigerate and then uses Nature Power while Electric Terrain is on the field, the move would be a Ice-type thunderbolt just like how Normalize makes Thunderwave a normal-type move that can bypass ground's immunity. The problem is, it won't, so if you try to use Nature Power against a ground type in this scenario, all you're going to do is throw away a move because it'll still be immune. [[User:Yamitora1|Yamitora1]] ([[User talk:Yamitora1|talk]]) 21:51, 29 May 2016 (UTC)
:It's self-evident because Nature Power is merely "calling" the other move in the same way Metronome does. Since "called moves act the same as they do if they're used normally" is a general rule, it's only exceptions to that rule that need to be noted, since a reader can always easily navigate to the called move's page to read about it. If we wrote about every called move's interactions with everything else in the game (especially, god forbid, on a page like Metronome) it would balloon out of control.

== Zygarde ==

Bringing this up here before I do any further edits. The Zygarde section seems to put a lot of emphasis on trying to justify the Loki's children theory, and Norse mythology in general. Leaving little room for other interpretations. If you want to trim down the section I suggest removing a lot of the justification for these theories too. Like how are long lines fine like this one: ''Zygarde Complete Forme may be based on Hel, the ruler of {{wp|Hel (location)|Helheim}}, the realm of the dead in Nordic myth. She is often depicted as a half alive and half dead being, which may have inspired Zygarde's theme of balance between life and death.'' But a short note that Complete may be based on a combined Mecha not? Complete has a very strong physical appearance and generally looks inorganic, this in contrast to Hel who is frail. The Mecha note can help give insight into that.

Flatworms being able to form into bigger multi-cellular creatures is incorrect, they can just split into several individuals if cut in two, but not actually merge. Flatworms should either be left out of that sentence completely or get their own specifying that case. I support the first. Also I think Euglena is worth mentioning because they are the creatures that visually look the most like Zygarde Core, on top of the photosynthesis link.

But you're more than welcome to try to do so yourself if you want. As for flatworms, sorry about that. I'll adjust that clause.

==Reggie==
Hi there! Would you please explain why you removed [[Reggie]] from the "Other participants" section in the article for the [[Lily of the Valley Conference]]? The reason you gave in the edit summary is really not good enough.

As you must know, our articles can be {{cat|Articles needing more information|incomplete}}. It's not because Reggie's participation in the League isn't mentioned on his article that you should go and remove it from other pages. Your edit created an inconsistency because Reggie is still listed as a participant in the pages for the [[Indigo Plateau Conference|Indigo]], [[Silver Conference|Silver]], and [[Ever Grande Conference]]s.

As a rule of thumb, you should always look for a source or watch the episodes yourself instead of guessing. And if I had to guess, I'd say the chances of him having participated in these League tournaments are high considering he got eight Badges from Kanto, Johto, Hoenn, and Sinnoh. --[[User:Mikuri|'''Mi''']][[User talk: Mikuri|'''ku''']][[Special:Contributions/Mikuri|'''ri''']] 00:20, 29 July 2016 (UTC)

We can't simply rely on "the chances" of him having participated based on the number of his Badges; someone must cite the episode in which it's explicitly stated that he had participated in the past. The onus of proof is on the side trying to change the status quo, and the status quo for years has been that he hasn't been listed as a prior participant.

== Eggs in Pokemon GO ==

You asked me to put sources there, but I wasn't sure if you wanted them on the page or just wanted to see them, so I'm showing them to you first.
http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2016-08-08-pokemon-go-eggs-chart-hatching-2km-5km-10km-eggs
http://www.serebii.net/pokemongo/eggs.shtml (doesn't mention anything about it being possible)
https://www.reddit.com/r/TheSilphRoad/comments/4w9d00/have_you_hatched_eggs_great_i_want_you_to_tell_me/ (about region exclusives)
https://www.reddit.com/r/TheSilphRoad/comments/4wmkdt/ign_is_claiming_higher_km_eggs_have_the_potential/ (throwing this one up too)

Let me explain. Basically, you don't get an a bulletproof source, since Niantic haven't said anything themselves. But all evidence points towards what I edited into the two pages. The last reddit dicussion I posted clears the misunderstanding. IGN was incorrect about it in their initial article because they based it on surveys. Players might have claimed to have seen the same species hatch in Eggs with different hatching distances in those surveys, but today, more than a month after release, it has yet to be proved that they can and most sites and players have caught up on that now so I thought it was time for Bulbapedia to do the same thing. They also incorrectly put Mr. Mime down as a Pokemon that can hatch from 5km Eggs. This was likely because the other three region exlcusives comes from 5km Eggs and thus it was a good assumption, but nevertheless it's not true, which you'll once again learn by looking more into it.

In short, what I edited can't be proved 100%, but neither could what I edited out and now that all evidence points towards what I edited in to be correct, I fully believe that's what the articles should go by. I hope this is enough to convince you. [[User:Ctesjbuvf|Ctesjbuvf]] ([[User talk:Ctesjbuvf|talk]]) 16:25, 9 August 2016 (UTC)

Hi! I realise that you removed the Mini-Noses origin theory, and I wanted to discuss about it with you. The Tangata Manu was a competition on Easter Island, and it's unknown if Tangata Manu had co-existed with Moai heads and [http://media.offexploring.co.uk/photos/tanya_claudia/photos/DSC05698.jpg the rock art resembles the Mini-Noses]. In the other hand, {{wp|Makemake_(deity)|Make-Make}} resembles more the design and it is other deity on the Rapa Nui mithology.

Exists another possibility, but it's more unknown: [https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/1/1d/Navel-of-the-World-2013.jpg The Navel of the World], a lithic site near Ahu Te Pito Kura.

I get that you said "it's not our place to judge who should learn what moves" but it didn't say they ''should'' know Power Gem, just that they couldn't despite the first impressions one might have based on appearance. Also handy as a quick list for someone wondering why their Poke isn't learning it even if it has more jewels on it than Rebecca Sugar.

==In the anime==
[[File:MGM parody.png|thumb|right|Zorua mimicking MGM's logo]]
* The dub title of ''[[EP018|Beauty and the Beach]]'' is a reference to the fairytale ''{{wp|Beauty and the Beast}}''.
* In [[EP035]], [[Kaiser]]'s appearance, demeanor and handgun bear a resemblance to a character portrayed by {{wp|Clint Eastwood}} in the Spaghetti Western ''{{wp|Man with No Name}}''.
* The plot of ''[[EP042|Showdown at Dark City]]'' is based on the events of {{wp|Akira Kurosawa}}'s ''{{wp|Yojimbo (film)|Yojimbo}}''.
* In ''[[M01|Pokémon: The First Movie - Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'', when Team Rocket are disguised as Vikings, Brock says he was not aware that they existed anymore. Ash replies that they mostly live in {{wp|Minnesota}}, a reference to the {{wp|Minnesota Vikings}} {{wp|National Football League|NFL}} team.
** In the {{pmin|Denmark|Danish version}}, Brock says '''{{tt|Jeg vidste ikke at vikingerne stadig fandtes.|I didn't know that the Vikings still existed.}}''', and Ash replies '''{{tt|Jo, men de turnere mest i Sverige.|Yes, but they are mostly touring in Sweden.}}''' This is probably because at the time {{wp|Vikings}} existed, the Danes were also Vikings.
*** In the Danish subtitles, Ash says '''{{tt|Vikingerne er et band.|The Vikings is a band.}}''' The Vikings are an old Swedish band, which is probably what Ash and Brock are referring to.
** In the {{pmin|Norway|Norwegian version}}, Brock says '''{{tt|Jeg visste ikke at vikinger fantes ennå.|I didn't know that the Vikings still existed.}}''', and Ash replies '''{{tt|Jo, men de turnerer mest i Sverige.|Yes, but they are mostly touring in Sweden.}}''' This makes it likely that both the Norwegian and Danish versions reference the Swedish band as there were Vikings in Norway for at least as long as in Sweden.
** In the {{pmin|Sweden|Swedish dub}}, Brock says '''{{tt|Jag visste inte att vikingar fortfarande existerade.|I didn't know that the Vikings still existed.}}''', and Ash replies '''{{tt|Jo, men de hänger mest i Norge.|Yes, but they mostly hang out in Norway}}'''. Real Vikings existed in both Sweden and Norway.
* The ''{{wp|Indiana Jones (franchise)|Indiana Jones franchise}}'' is referred in several episodes, [[Gary]]'s outfit in ''[[EP046|Attack of the Prehistoric Pokémon]]'' is very similar to the titular's and the giant boulder scene from ''{{wp|Raiders of the Lost Ark}}'' is reenacted in ''[[AG178|Battling the Enemy Within!]]'' and ''[[BW064|Explorers of the Hero's Ruin!]]''.
* In ''[[EP069|Lights, Camera, Quack-tion]]'', {{an|Brock}} mentions that [[Cleavon Schpielbunk]] directed ''{{DL|Movies in the Pokémon world|I Saw What You Ate Last Tuesday}}'', a reference to ''{{wp|I Know What You Did Last Summer}}''.

* The dub title of ''[[EP100|Wherefore Art Thou, Pokémon?]]'' is a reference to the line "Wherefore art thou Romeo?" from ''{{wp|Romeo and Juliet}}''. The names of the two Nidoran in love, Tony and Maria, are references to ''{{wp|West Side Story}}'', which was based on Romeo and Juliet. In the dub, at the end of the episode the narrator makes reference to ''{{wp|All's Well That Ends Well}}'', another {{wp|William Shakespeare|Shakespeare}} play.
* In ''[[EP138|The Superhero Secret]]'', Gligarman is based on {{wp|Batman}}. His civilian name, [[Mr. Parker]], is likely based on Peter Parker, the alter ego of the superhero {{wp|Spider-Man}}. When the video of Gligarman is shown, "''Look up in the sky, is it a {{p|Pidgeotto}}, a {{p|Charizard}}, a {{p|Dragonite}}? No, it's the crime fighting superhero Gligarman!''" is heard, a reference to the famous {{wp|Superman}} line "''Look, up in the sky! It's a bird, it's a plane, it's Superman!''"
* The dub title of ''[[EP209|Machoke, Machoke Man!]]'' is a reference to the {{wp|Village People}} song ''{{wp|Macho Man (song)|Macho Man}}''.
* In ''[[AG086|Lights, Camerupt, Action!]]'', {{an|May}} describes a movie about a luxurious spaceship with a {{p|Natu}} and {{p|Xatu}} in love who are separated because of an ice asteroid, which is a parody of the movie ''{{wp|Titanic (1997 film)|Titanic}}'', while the ship displayed in the film is similar in design to the titular spaceship from ''{{wp|Space Battleship Yamato}}''.
** [[Max]] describes a movie about a giant {{p|Meowth}} destroying a city and battling against {{p|Pichu}} fighter pilots and a giant {{p|Marshtomp}}, which is based on the Japanese television show {{wp|Ultraman}}.
* [[Tyson's Meowth]] that debuted in ''[[AG125|Like a Meowth to a Flame]]'' is loosely based on the fairytale character [[wp:Puss in Boots (fairy tale)|Puss in Boots]].
* [[Hamilton]], a [[character of the day]] in ''[[DP082|Cream of the Croagunk Crop!]]'' is based on a character named Hiroshi from the anime and manga {{wp|Dokonjō Gaeru}}. His {{p|Croagunk}}, Craig, is a reference to the frog known as Pyonkichi, as it spent a lot of time on the front of his shirt.
** Hamilton's appearance and even the Japanese names of both himself and Craig were changed shortly after the episode's initial airing in Japan, possibly to avoid a lawsuit from the producers of Dokonjō Gaeru.
* In ''[[DP077|Staging a Heroes' Welcome!]]'', two girls near the beginning look like {{wp|Sakura Kinomoto}} and {{wp|Tomoyo Daidōji}} from {{wp|Cardcaptor Sakura}}. This is most likely a joke on how their hats resemble the one [[Wallace]] wears.
* In ''[[DP133|Uncrushing Defeat!]]'', before the group attack, the way Ash and his Sinnoh team ({{TP|Ash|Pikachu}}, {{TP|Ash|Staraptor}}, {{TP|Ash|Grotle}}, {{TP|Ash|Monferno}}, {{TP|Ash|Buizel}} and {{TP|Ash|Gliscor}}) pose, strongly resembles the {{wp|Super Sentai}} pose.
* The plot of ''[[BW022|A Venipede Stampede!]]'' references the story of the {{wp|Pied Piper of Hamelin}} when [[Burgh]] uses his bug flute to lead the {{p|Venipede}} out the city at the request of [[Mayor of Castelia City|the mayor]].
* In ''[[BW038|Movie Time! Zorua in "The Legend of the Pokémon Knight"!]]'', {{an|Cilan}} mentioned ''{{DL|Movies in the Pokémon world|Yamask of the Opera}}'', a reference to ''{{wp|The Phantom of the Opera}}''.
* In ''[[BW044|Purrloin: Sweet or Sneaky?]]'', when {{MTR}} tries to ask {{p|Purrloin}} out for a date, he says "''Come on baby, don't say maybe!''", referring to {{wp|Jackson Browne}}'s song ''Take It Easy''.
* In ''[[BW057|The Mighty Accelguard to the Rescue!]]'', [[Charles]] has the alter ego of The Mighty Accelguard (Japanese: 快傑ア☆ギルダー ''{{tt|Kaiketsu|swift hero}} A☆Gilder''), which most likely draws inspiration from ''{{wp|Kaiketsu Zubat}}''. Certain other aspects of his alter ego, like his A☆Gilder Kick attack, draw inspiration from the titular characters of the {{wp|Kamen Rider Series}}.
* In ''[[BW058|A Call for Brotherly Love]]'', during {{TP|Chili|Pansear}}'s training montage, it is seen running up a flight of stairs and throwing its arms into the air in victory. This is a reference to the film ''{{wp|Rocky}}'' where {{wp|Sylvester Stallone}}'s character does exactly the same thing.
* The plot of ''[[BW065|Battling the Bully!]]'' is a tribute to {{wp|Doraemon}}, with {{OBP|Mick|BW065}}, [[Glenn]] and [[Sean]] having similar roles to that of {{wp|List of Doraemon characters|Nobita, Gian and Suneo}}.
* In ''[[BW076|A Restoration Confrontation! Part 2]]'', when {{TRT}} attacks {{Ash}} and the group under a tree, [[Jessie]] has a communication device over her eye. After Ash and [[Ferris]] refuse to give up {{p|Tirtouga}}, Jessie says "Resistance is futile." This line is the catchphrase of the Borg from ''{{wp|Star Trek: The Next Generation}}'', who commonly wore similar devices.
* In ''[[BW082|An Epic Defense Force]]'', there is a parody of the {{wp|Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer|MGM}} logo, with {{p|Zorua}} in place of {{wp|Leo the Lion (MGM)|Leo the Lion}}.
**Similarly, in ''[[XY021|A PokéVision of Things to Come!]]'' and ''[[XY078|Lights! Camera! Pika!]]'' with {{MTR}} and {{AP|Pikachu}} respectly.
* In ''[[BW045|Beheeyem, Duosion, and the Dream Thief!]]'', the character [[Leon]]'s design and mannerisms, are based on the character Iyami from the manga and anime ''{{wp|Osomatsu-kun}}'' He even adds "zansu" to his speech and does Iyami's trademark "Sheeh" pose.

==In the manga==
===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
*[[Jet]], a competitor in the [[Pokéathlon]], is based on Jet Link (or Cyborg 002) from {{wp|Cyborg 009}}, having a near identical resemblance and his reputation for being fast.

* In [[Pokémon Stadium 2]], when the player views the entire room, if a [[game system]] other than the {{wp|Virtual Boy}} is set up, screenshots from several games for that system (such as {{zw|The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time}} for the [[Nintendo 64|N64]]) will appear on the player's TV.
* In [[Pokémon Colosseum]], before he is battled [[Fein]] will say "''I am you and you are me and we are all together''", referencing a line from {{wp|The Beatles}} song "{{wp|I Am the Walrus}}."
* In [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Gates to Infinity]], after the player's first meeting with {{mdc|Swanna|gti}}, she says "''You can call me Swanna if you want. Just don't call me maybe.''", referencing the {{wp|Carly Rae Jepsen}} song "{{wp|Call Me Maybe}}."

==In the anime==
[[File:MGM parody.png|thumb|right|Zorua mimicking MGM's logo]]
* The dub title of ''[[EP018|Beauty and the Beach]]'' is a reference to the fairytale ''{{wp|Beauty and the Beast}}''.
* In [[EP035]], [[Kaiser]]'s appearance, demeanor and handgun bear a resemblance to a character portrayed by {{wp|Clint Eastwood}} in the Spaghetti Western ''{{wp|Man with No Name}}''.
* The plot of ''[[EP042|Showdown at Dark City]]'' is based on the events of {{wp|Akira Kurosawa}}'s ''{{wp|Yojimbo (film)|Yojimbo}}''.
* In ''[[M01|Pokémon: The First Movie - Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'', when Team Rocket are disguised as Vikings, Brock says he was not aware that they existed anymore. Ash replies that they mostly live in {{wp|Minnesota}}, a reference to the {{wp|Minnesota Vikings}} {{wp|National Football League|NFL}} team.
** In the {{pmin|Denmark|Danish version}}, Brock says '''{{tt|Jeg vidste ikke at vikingerne stadig fandtes.|I didn't know that the Vikings still existed.}}''', and Ash replies '''{{tt|Jo, men de turnere mest i Sverige.|Yes, but they are mostly touring in Sweden.}}''' This is probably because at the time {{wp|Vikings}} existed, the Danes were also Vikings.
*** In the Danish subtitles, Ash says '''{{tt|Vikingerne er et band.|The Vikings is a band.}}''' The Vikings are an old Swedish band, which is probably what Ash and Brock are referring to.
** In the {{pmin|Norway|Norwegian version}}, Brock says '''{{tt|Jeg visste ikke at vikinger fantes ennå.|I didn't know that the Vikings still existed.}}''', and Ash replies '''{{tt|Jo, men de turnerer mest i Sverige.|Yes, but they are mostly touring in Sweden.}}''' This makes it likely that both the Norwegian and Danish versions reference the Swedish band as there were Vikings in Norway for at least as long as in Sweden.
** In the {{pmin|Sweden|Swedish dub}}, Brock says '''{{tt|Jag visste inte att vikingar fortfarande existerade.|I didn't know that the Vikings still existed.}}''', and Ash replies '''{{tt|Jo, men de hänger mest i Norge.|Yes, but they mostly hang out in Norway}}'''. Real Vikings existed in both Sweden and Norway.
* The ''{{wp|Indiana Jones (franchise)|Indiana Jones franchise}}'' is referred in several episodes, [[Gary]]'s outfit in ''[[EP046|Attack of the Prehistoric Pokémon]]'' is very similar to the titular's and the giant boulder scene from ''{{wp|Raiders of the Lost Ark}}'' is reenacted in ''[[AG178|Battling the Enemy Within!]]'' and ''[[BW064|Explorers of the Hero's Ruin!]]''.
* In ''[[EP069|Lights, Camera, Quack-tion]]'', {{an|Brock}} mentions that [[Cleavon Schpielbunk]] directed ''{{DL|Movies in the Pokémon world|I Saw What You Ate Last Tuesday}}'', a reference to ''{{wp|I Know What You Did Last Summer}}''.
* The plot of ''{{DL|Movies in the Pokémon world|Pokémon in Love}}'', which was first mentioned in ''[[EP069|Lights, Camera, Quack-tion]]'', is based on ''{{wp|Romeo and Juliet}}''.
* In ''[[EP070|Go West Young Meowth]]'', the movie ''{{DL|Movies in the Pokémon world|That Darn Meowth!}}'' is shown at [[Camp Pokéhearst]], a reference to ''{{wp|That Darn Cat! (1965 film)|That Darn Cat!}}''.
* The dub title of ''[[EP100|Wherefore Art Thou, Pokémon?]]'' is a reference to the line "Wherefore art thou Romeo?" from ''{{wp|Romeo and Juliet}}''. The names of the two Nidoran in love, Tony and Maria, are references to ''{{wp|West Side Story}}'', which was based on Romeo and Juliet. In the dub, at the end of the episode the narrator makes reference to ''{{wp|All's Well That Ends Well}}'', another {{wp|William Shakespeare|Shakespeare}} play.
* In ''[[EP138|The Superhero Secret]]'', Gligarman is based on {{wp|Batman}}. His civilian name, [[Mr. Parker]], is likely based on Peter Parker, the alter ego of the superhero {{wp|Spider-Man}}. When the video of Gligarman is shown, "''Look up in the sky, is it a {{p|Pidgeotto}}, a {{p|Charizard}}, a {{p|Dragonite}}? No, it's the crime fighting superhero Gligarman!''" is heard, a reference to the famous {{wp|Superman}} line "''Look, up in the sky! It's a bird, it's a plane, it's Superman!''"
* The dub title of ''[[EP209|Machoke, Machoke Man!]]'' is a reference to the {{wp|Village People}} song ''{{wp|Macho Man (song)|Macho Man}}''.
* In ''[[AG086|Lights, Camerupt, Action!]]'', {{an|May}} describes a movie about a luxurious spaceship with a {{p|Natu}} and {{p|Xatu}} in love who are separated because of an ice asteroid, which is a parody of the movie ''{{wp|Titanic (1997 film)|Titanic}}'', while the ship displayed in the film is similar in design to the titular spaceship from ''{{wp|Space Battleship Yamato}}''.
** [[Max]] describes a movie about a giant {{p|Meowth}} destroying a city and battling against {{p|Pichu}} fighter pilots and a giant {{p|Marshtomp}}, which is based on the Japanese television show {{wp|Ultraman}}.
* [[Tyson's Meowth]] that debuted in ''[[AG125|Like a Meowth to a Flame]]'' is loosely based on the fairytale character [[wp:Puss in Boots (fairy tale)|Puss in Boots]].
* [[Hamilton]], a [[character of the day]] in ''[[DP082|Cream of the Croagunk Crop!]]'' is based on a character named Hiroshi from the anime and manga {{wp|Dokonjō Gaeru}}. His {{p|Croagunk}}, Craig, is a reference to the frog known as Pyonkichi, as it spent a lot of time on the front of his shirt.
** Hamilton's appearance and even the Japanese names of both himself and Craig were changed shortly after the episode's initial airing in Japan, possibly to avoid a lawsuit from the producers of Dokonjō Gaeru.
* In ''[[DP077|Staging a Heroes' Welcome!]]'', two girls near the beginning look like {{wp|Sakura Kinomoto}} and {{wp|Tomoyo Daidōji}} from {{wp|Cardcaptor Sakura}}. This is most likely a joke on how their hats resemble the one [[Wallace]] wears.
* In ''[[DP133|Uncrushing Defeat!]]'', before the group attack, the way Ash and his Sinnoh team ({{TP|Ash|Pikachu}}, {{TP|Ash|Staraptor}}, {{TP|Ash|Grotle}}, {{TP|Ash|Monferno}}, {{TP|Ash|Buizel}} and {{TP|Ash|Gliscor}}) pose, strongly resembles the {{wp|Super Sentai}} pose.
* The plot of ''[[BW022|A Venipede Stampede!]]'' references the story of the {{wp|Pied Piper of Hamelin}} when [[Burgh]] uses his bug flute to lead the {{p|Venipede}} out the city at the request of [[Mayor of Castelia City|the mayor]].
* In ''[[BW038|Movie Time! Zorua in "The Legend of the Pokémon Knight"!]]'', {{an|Cilan}} mentioned ''{{DL|Movies in the Pokémon world|Yamask of the Opera}}'', a reference to ''{{wp|The Phantom of the Opera}}''.
* In ''[[BW044|Purrloin: Sweet or Sneaky?]]'', when {{MTR}} tries to ask {{p|Purrloin}} out for a date, he says "''Come on baby, don't say maybe!''", referring to {{wp|Jackson Browne}}'s song ''Take It Easy''.
* In ''[[BW057|The Mighty Accelguard to the Rescue!]]'', [[Charles]] has the alter ego of The Mighty Accelguard (Japanese: 快傑ア☆ギルダー ''{{tt|Kaiketsu|swift hero}} A☆Gilder''), which most likely draws inspiration from ''{{wp|Kaiketsu Zubat}}''. Certain other aspects of his alter ego, like his A☆Gilder Kick attack, draw inspiration from the titular characters of the {{wp|Kamen Rider Series}}.
* In ''[[BW058|A Call for Brotherly Love]]'', during {{TP|Chili|Pansear}}'s training montage, it is seen running up a flight of stairs and throwing its arms into the air in victory. This is a reference to the film ''{{wp|Rocky}}'' where {{wp|Sylvester Stallone}}'s character does exactly the same thing.
* The plot of ''[[BW065|Battling the Bully!]]'' is a tribute to {{wp|Doraemon}}, with {{OBP|Mick|BW065}}, [[Glenn]] and [[Sean]] having similar roles to that of {{wp|List of Doraemon characters|Nobita, Gian and Suneo}}.
* In ''[[BW076|A Restoration Confrontation! Part 2]]'', when {{TRT}} attacks {{Ash}} and the group under a tree, [[Jessie]] has a communication device over her eye. After Ash and [[Ferris]] refuse to give up {{p|Tirtouga}}, Jessie says "Resistance is futile." This line is the catchphrase of the Borg from ''{{wp|Star Trek: The Next Generation}}'', who commonly wore similar devices.
* In ''[[BW082|An Epic Defense Force]]'', there is a parody of the {{wp|Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer|MGM}} logo, with {{p|Zorua}} in place of {{wp|Leo the Lion (MGM)|Leo the Lion}}.
**Similarly, in ''[[XY021|A PokéVision of Things to Come!]]'' and ''[[XY078|Lights! Camera! Pika!]]'' with {{MTR}} and {{AP|Pikachu}} respectly.
* In ''[[BW045|Beheeyem, Duosion, and the Dream Thief!]]'', the character Leon's design and mannerisms, are based on the character Iyami from the manga and anime ''{{wp|Osomatsu-kun}}'' He even adds "zansu" to his speech and does Iyami's trademark "Sheeh" pose.

==In the manga==
===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
*[[Jet]], a competitor in the [[Pokéathlon]], is based on Jet Link (or Cyborg 002) from {{wp|Cyborg 009}}, having a near identical resemblance and his reputation for being fast.

Leon (BW045)

Akarroa: /* Intro */

{{search|[[character of the day]] from [[BW045|Beheeyem, Duosion, and the Dream Thief!]]|the Pokémon with the Japanese name of Leon|Sparky}}
----
[[Image:Leon.png|thumb|220px|Leon]]
'''Leon''' (Japanese: '''レオン''' ''Leon''), referred to by [[Officer Jenny]] as the '''Dream Thief''', is the [[character of the day]] in ''[[BW045|Beheeyem, Duosion, and the Dream Thief!]]''. He is very strongly based on the character Iyami from Fujio Akatsuka's {{wp|Osomatsu-kun}}.

Leon used his {{p|Beheeyem}} to use its {{t|Psychic}} powers to trick {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} in to thinking he can grant any wish. After Beheeyem grants Cilan's wish for a bed, Leon stole all the Pokémon. [[Officer Jenny]] was on to his plan and tracked him down, with the help of her {{p|Duosion}}, to the fake resort created by Beheeyem. However, because {{AP|Pikachu}}, {{TP|Iris|Axew}}, and {{MTR}} are still asleep, Beheeyem's dream still has control over their minds. Once the Pokémon wake up, they manage to escape the dream, but because Meowth kept falling asleep, their escapes kept failing. Finally when Meowth managed to stay awake, he attacks Leon with {{m|Fury Swipes}}, giving Officer Jenny a chance to arrest him.

In the original Japanese version, Leon peppers his speech with {{wp|French language|French}} phrases.

However, since the battle takes place in a [[cave]], it is possible the move Diancie used was actually {{m|Nature Power}}.

'''Scizor''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ハッサム''' ''Hassam'') is a dual-type {{2t|Bug|Steel}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Scyther}} when [[trade]]d holding a {{DL|Type-enhancing item|Metal Coat}}. It can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into '''Mega Scizor''' using the {{DL|Mega Stone|Scizorite}}.

==Biology==
[[File:Gary Scizor.png|thumb|200px|left|Scizor with its wings retracted]]
Scizor is a bipedal, insectoid Pokémon with a red, metallic exoskeleton. It has gray, retractable forewings and hind wings with simple, curved venation. Its head is kite-shaped with three blunt horns extending above its forehead, and dark yellow eyes. Scizor's neck and part of its thorax give the appearance of being exposed: they show black skin, and are surrounded by its raised exoskeleton. Scizor has a large abdomen with three black, pointed stripes below the waist; the female has a larger abdomen than the male. Scizor has broad shoulders and thin, segmented arms ending in large, round pincers. Scizor's legs are defined by large hip joints, thin thighs, and wide calves, its feet ending in one clawed toe in front and another in the back.

Mega Scizor's pincers lengthen and develop serrations. The lower half of the claws turns white and gain three pointed spikes on the underside. The barbs on Mega Scizor's claws can stab through concrete, and opponents caught in them are unable to escape.<ref>http://www.pokemonxy.com/en-us/pokemon/mega_pokemon/#Scizor</ref> Its eyespots are now blue with a thin black rim. Though they lack the black rim, its real are blue as well. Additional pieces of black armoring appear on various area of its body: a three-pointed crest on its forehead, striated coverings on its shoulders, and unmarked coverings on its thighs. Mega Scizor's legs are less detailed and resemble large, tapered spikes with white tips.

'''Scyther''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ストライク''' ''Strike'') is a dual-type {{2t|Bug|Flying}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Scizor}} when [[trade]]d holding a {{DL|Evolution-inducing held item|Metal Coat}}.

==Biology==
Scyther is a bipedal, insectoid creature. It is primarily green with cream accents between its body segments. On the back of its somewhat reptilian head are three points, and it has narrow eyes. Its forearms consist of large, white scythes, which it uses for hunting as well as fighting. On its thighs are spikes of fur, and it has three clawed toes on its large feet. Two pairs of cream-colored wings extend from its back. While these wings do allow Scyther to fly, it is rarely seen doing so. The abdomen of a female will be slightly larger than that of the male.

Scyther's blade-like forearms are capable of slicing through logs, and become sharper by cutting through hard materials. Using swift movements, it camouflages itself and enhances the effectiveness of its scythes. [[EP09|The anime]] has shown that wild Scyther form groups. If a challenger Scyther wins a battle against the leader of the Scyther swarm, the original Scyther leader will depart and the challenger will take place as the new leader. [[EP042|It has also been shown]] that some Scyther despise the color red, and become aggressive when confronted with this color. Although it is rare, Scyther can be found in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Grassland Pokémon|grasslands.}}

==In the anime==
[[File:Jeanette Scyther.png|220px|thumb|Scyther in the anime]]
===Major appearances===
====[[Tracey's Scyther]]====
{{Tracey}} {{pkmn2|caught}} an elderly Scyther in ''[[EP097|Tracey Gets Bugged]]''. Even in its old age it is very aggressive, but for the same reasons, Tracey tries not to use it.

====Other====
Scyther first appeared in ''[[EP042|Showdown at Dark City]]'' under the ownership of [[Yas]]. It was one of the Pokémon used during the feuds between the {{DL|Gym|Kas Gym|Kas}} and {{DL|Gym|Yas Gym}}s of [[Dark City]]. It is the Yas Gym's primary Pokémon.

In ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'', a Scyther owned by [[Corey]] was one of the Pokémon that was captured and cloned by {{OBP|Mewtwo|original series}}. When {{TRT}} saw this Pokémon being cloned, it was mistaken for an {{p|Alakazam}}. The Scyther clone was seen again in ''[[Mewtwo Returns]]''.

A Scyther appeared during the [[Indigo Plateau Conference]] in ''[[EP077|The Fourth Round Rumble]]'', under the ownership of [[Jeanette Fisher]]. [[Ash's Bulbasaur]] battled the Scyther, and despite the type disadvantage, Bulbasaur came out the winner. It reappeared in a flashback in [[EP078|the following episode]] and in ''[[EP225|Bulbasaur... the Ambassador!]]''.

A Scyther has also been used by the [[Gym Leader]] of [[Navel Island]], [[Danny]] in ''[[EP093|Navel Maneuvers]]''. It was seen helping Danny's {{p|Machoke}} and {{p|Nidoqueen}} carve Danny's sled and later competed in the sled race alongside Danny's {{p|Electrode}} and {{p|Geodude}}. It reappeared in a flashback in ''[[EP098|A Way Off Day Off]]'' and in another flashback in ''[[EP111|Hello, Pummelo!]]''.

[[Bugsy]] used a Scyther against {{Ash}} in ''[[EP144|Gettin' The Bugs Out]]''. This Scyther was trained to block {{Type|Fire}} attacks by using {{m|Swords Dance}} as a fan. Ash discovered that this defensive strategy doesn't work if a Fire-type move is used from above, which allowed his {{AP|Cyndaquil}} to win in his Gym match.

A Pokémon Hunter had a Scyther and {{p|Houndoom}} which he had used to chase after {{OBP|Celebi|M04}} in ''[[M04|Celebi: Voice of the Forest]]''.

A Scyther was under the ownership of a girl in ''[[DP050|Tag, We're It!]]'' and was partnered with a man's {{p|Koffing}} against [[Dawn's Piplup]] and [[Conway]]'s {{p|Slowking}}.

In ''[[SS020|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time & Darkness]]'', Scyther was a member of Team Razor Wind, along with {{p|Sandslash}} and {{p|Zangoose}}. The trio of clawed Pokémon were first seen being blasted out of the [[Wigglytuff's Guild|Wigglytuff Guild]]. Team Razor Wind overheard that [[Team Poképals]] were assigned with the task of traveling to the [[Labyrinth Cave]] to get a [[Gabite Scale]] for an ailing {{p|Shinx}}, and decided to attempt beating [[Team Poképals]] to the item. Unfortunately for Team Razor Wind, Gabite defeated them easily. It reappeared alongside its team in ''[[SS021|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky - Beyond Time & Darkness]]''.

A Scyther was also owned by a [[demolition crew]] (which was changed into a construction crew due to [[Ritchie]] changing the past) in ''[[SS013|Celebi and Joy]]''.

==Trivia==
* In the [[Pokémon Red and Green beta|Pokémon Red and Blue beta]], Scyther's prototype name was "Stryke". This is a corruption of the word "strike", which is also its romanized Japanese name.
* Despite having different base stats, Scyther and its evolution, {{p|Scizor}}, both have a base stat total of 500. This makes Scyther the only pre-evolutionary form that has the same base stat total as its evolution.
* Scyther has the highest base stat total of all Pokémon that have not evolved but can still evolve, with 500.
* Scyther can be seen as a parallel to {{p|Pinsir}}. Both of them are {{type|Bug}} {{cat|Generation I Pokémon}}. Scyther is exclusive to [[Pokémon Red and Blue Versions|Pokémon Red]], [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions|FireRed]] and [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Versions|Diamond]], while Pinsir is exclusive to [[Pokémon Red and Blue Versions|Pokémon Blue]], [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions|LeafGreen]] and [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Versions|Pearl]].
* Scyther's weight and National Pokédex number are the same: 123.

===Origin===
Scyther draws much inspiration from a {{wp|praying mantis}} and more likely {{wp|mantidflies}} based on its agile mobility. However, its face is more {{wp|reptile|reptilian}}, with similarities to {{wp|dinosaur}}s and {{wp|dragon}}s.

====Name origin====
Scyther is a combination of ''scythe'' and the suffix ''{{tt|-er|thing that does an action}}'', in reference to its sharp blades.

Strike is literally ''strike''.

'''Scyther''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ストライク''' ''Strike'') is a dual-type {{2t|Bug|Flying}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Scizor}} when [[trade]]d holding a {{DL|Evolution-inducing held item|Metal Coat}}.

==Biology==
Scyther is a bipedal, insectoid creature. It is primarily green with cream accents between its body segments. On the back of its somewhat reptilian head are three points, and it has narrow eyes. Its forearms consist of large, white scythes, which it uses for hunting as well as fighting. On its thighs are spikes of fur, and it has three clawed toes on its large feet. Two pairs of cream-colored wings extend from its back. While these wings do allow Scyther to fly, it is rarely seen doing so. The abdomen of a female will be slightly larger than that of the male.

Scyther's blade-like forearms are capable of slicing through logs, and become sharper by cutting through hard materials. Using swift movements, it camouflages itself and enhances the effectiveness of its scythes. [[EP09|The anime]] has shown that wild Scyther form groups. If a challenger Scyther wins a battle against the leader of the Scyther swarm, the original Scyther leader will depart and the challenger will take place as the new leader. [[EP042|It has also been shown]] that some Scyther despise the color red, and become aggressive when confronted with this color. Although it is rare, Scyther can be found in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Grassland Pokémon|grasslands.}}

==In the anime==
[[File:Jeanette Scyther.png|220px|thumb|Scyther in the anime]]
===Major appearances===
====[[Tracey's Scyther]]====
{{Tracey}} {{pkmn2|caught}} an elderly Scyther in ''[[EP097|Tracey Gets Bugged]]''. Even in its old age it is very aggressive, but for the same reasons, Tracey tries not to use it.

====Other====
Scyther first appeared in ''[[EP042|Showdown at Dark City]]'' under the ownership of [[Yas]]. It was one of the Pokémon used during the feuds between the {{DL|Gym|Kas Gym|Kas}} and {{DL|Gym|Yas Gym}}s of [[Dark City]]. It is the Yas Gym's primary Pokémon.

In ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'', a Scyther owned by [[Corey]] was one of the Pokémon that was captured and cloned by {{OBP|Mewtwo|original series}}. When {{TRT}} saw this Pokémon being cloned, it was mistaken for an {{p|Alakazam}}. The Scyther clone was seen again in ''[[Mewtwo Returns]]''.

[[Bugsy]] used a Scyther against {{Ash}} in ''[[EP144|Gettin' The Bugs Out]]''. This Scyther was trained to block {{Type|Fire}} attacks by using {{m|Swords Dance}} as a fan. Ash discovered that this defensive strategy doesn't work if a Fire-type move is used from above, which allowed his {{AP|Cyndaquil}} to win in his Gym match.

A Pokémon Hunter had a Scyther and {{p|Houndoom}} which he had used to chase after {{OBP|Celebi|M04}} in ''[[M04|Celebi: Voice of the Forest]]''.

In ''[[SS020|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time & Darkness]]'', Scyther was a member of Team Razor Wind, along with {{p|Sandslash}} and {{p|Zangoose}}. The trio of clawed Pokémon were first seen being blasted out of the [[Wigglytuff's Guild|Wigglytuff Guild]]. Team Razor Wind overheard that [[Team Poképals]] were assigned with the task of traveling to the [[Labyrinth Cave]] to get a [[Gabite Scale]] for an ailing {{p|Shinx}}, and decided to attempt beating [[Team Poképals]] to the item. Unfortunately for Team Razor Wind, Gabite defeated them easily. It reappeared alongside its team in ''[[SS021|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky - Beyond Time & Darkness]]''.

==Trivia==
* In the [[Pokémon Red and Green beta|Pokémon Red and Blue beta]], Scyther's prototype name was "Stryke". This is a corruption of the word "strike", which is also its romanized Japanese name.
* Despite having different base stats, Scyther and its evolution, {{p|Scizor}}, both have a base stat total of 500. This makes Scyther the only pre-evolutionary form that has the same base stat total as its evolution.
* Scyther has the highest base stat total of all Pokémon that have not evolved but can still evolve, with 500.
* Scyther can be seen as a parallel to {{p|Pinsir}}. Both of them are {{type|Bug}} {{cat|Generation I Pokémon}}. Scyther is exclusive to [[Pokémon Red and Blue Versions|Pokémon Red]], [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions|FireRed]] and [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Versions|Diamond]], while Pinsir is exclusive to [[Pokémon Red and Blue Versions|Pokémon Blue]], [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions|LeafGreen]] and [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Versions|Pearl]].
* Scyther's weight and National Pokédex number are the same: 123.

===Origin===
Scyther draws much inspiration from a {{wp|praying mantis}} and {{wp|mantidflies}}. However, its face is more {{wp|reptile|reptilian}}, with similarities to {{wp|dinosaur}}s and {{wp|dragon}}s.

====Name origin====
Scyther is a combination of ''scythe'' and the suffix ''{{tt|-er|thing that does an action}}'', in reference to its sharp blades.

Strike is literally ''strike''.

'''Scyther''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ストライク''' ''Strike'') is a dual-type {{2t|Bug|Flying}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Scizor}} when [[trade]]d holding a {{DL|Evolution-inducing held item|Metal Coat}}.

==Biology==
Scyther is a bipedal, insectoid creature. It is primarily green with cream accents between its body segments. On the back of its somewhat reptilian head are three points, and it has narrow eyes. Its forearms consist of large, white scythes, which it uses for hunting as well as fighting. On its thighs are spikes of fur, and it has three clawed toes on its large feet. Two pairs of cream-colored wings extend from its back. While these wings do allow Scyther to fly, it is rarely seen doing so. The abdomen of a female will be slightly larger than that of the male.

Scyther's blade-like forearms are capable of slicing through logs, and become sharper by cutting through hard materials. Using swift movements, it camouflages itself and enhances the effectiveness of its scythes. [[EP09|The anime]] has shown that wild Scyther form groups. If a challenger Scyther wins a battle against the leader of the Scyther swarm, the original Scyther leader will depart and the challenger will take place as the new leader. [[EP042|It has also been shown]] that some Scyther despise the color red, and become aggressive when confronted with this color. Although it is rare, Scyther can be found in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Grassland Pokémon|grasslands.}}

==In the anime==
[[File:Jeanette Scyther.png|220px|thumb|Scyther in the anime]]
===Major appearances===
====[[Tracey's Scyther]]====
{{Tracey}} {{pkmn2|caught}} an elderly Scyther in ''[[EP097|Tracey Gets Bugged]]''. Even in its old age it is very aggressive, but for the same reasons, Tracey tries not to use it.

====Other====
Scyther first appeared in ''[[EP042|Showdown at Dark City]]'' under the ownership of [[Yas]]. It was one of the Pokémon used during the feuds between the {{DL|Gym|Kas Gym|Kas}} and {{DL|Gym|Yas Gym}}s of [[Dark City]]. It is the Yas Gym's primary Pokémon.

In ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'', a Scyther owned by [[Corey]] was one of the Pokémon that was captured and cloned by {{OBP|Mewtwo|original series}}. When {{TRT}} saw this Pokémon being cloned, it was mistaken for an {{p|Alakazam}}. The Scyther clone was seen again in ''[[Mewtwo Returns]]''.

A Scyther appeared during the [[Indigo Plateau Conference]] in ''[[EP077|The Fourth Round Rumble]]'', under the ownership of [[Jeanette Fisher]]. [[Ash's Bulbasaur]] battled the Scyther, and despite the type disadvantage, Bulbasaur came out the winner. It reappeared in a flashback in [[EP078|the following episode]] and in ''[[EP225|Bulbasaur... the Ambassador!]]''.

A Scyther has also been used by the [[Gym Leader]] of [[Navel Island]], [[Danny]] in ''[[EP093|Navel Maneuvers]]''. It was seen helping Danny's {{p|Machoke}} and {{p|Nidoqueen}} carve Danny's sled and later competed in the sled race alongside Danny's {{p|Electrode}} and {{p|Geodude}}. It reappeared in a flashback in ''[[EP098|A Way Off Day Off]]'' and in another flashback in ''[[EP111|Hello, Pummelo!]]''.

[[Bugsy]] used a Scyther against {{Ash}} in ''[[EP144|Gettin' The Bugs Out]]''. This Scyther was trained to block {{Type|Fire}} attacks by using {{m|Swords Dance}} as a fan. Ash discovered that this defensive strategy doesn't work if a Fire-type move is used from above, which allowed his {{AP|Cyndaquil}} to win in his Gym match.

A Pokémon Hunter had a Scyther and {{p|Houndoom}} which he had used to chase after {{OBP|Celebi|M04}} in ''[[M04|Celebi: Voice of the Forest]]''.

A Scyther was under the ownership of a girl in ''[[DP050|Tag, We're It!]]'' and was partnered with a man's {{p|Koffing}} against [[Dawn's Piplup]] and [[Conway]]'s {{p|Slowking}}.

In ''[[SS020|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time & Darkness]]'', Scyther was a member of Team Razor Wind, along with {{p|Sandslash}} and {{p|Zangoose}}. The trio of clawed Pokémon were first seen being blasted out of the [[Wigglytuff's Guild|Wigglytuff Guild]]. Team Razor Wind overheard that [[Team Poképals]] were assigned with the task of traveling to the [[Labyrinth Cave]] to get a [[Gabite Scale]] for an ailing {{p|Shinx}}, and decided to attempt beating [[Team Poképals]] to the item. Unfortunately for Team Razor Wind, Gabite defeated them easily. It reappeared alongside its team in ''[[SS021|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky - Beyond Time & Darkness]]''.

===Minor appearances===
A {{DL|List of alternately colored Pokémon in the anime|Pink Pokémon|pink}} Scyther appeared in Team Rocket's fantasy in ''[[EP088|In the Pink]]''.

A Scyther appeared in the opening of ''[[M05|Pokémon Heroes: Latios & Latias]]''.

A Scyther was also owned by a [[demolition crew]] (which was changed into a construction crew due to [[Ritchie]] changing the past) in ''[[SS013|Celebi and Joy]]''.

[[Luna]] from ''[[AG166|Curbing the Crimson Tide]]'' had a Scyther that eventually evolved into a {{p|Scizor}}.

==Trivia==
* In the [[Pokémon Red and Green beta|Pokémon Red and Blue beta]], Scyther's prototype name was "Stryke". This is a corruption of the word "strike", which is also its romanized Japanese name.
* Despite having different base stats, Scyther and its evolution, {{p|Scizor}}, both have a base stat total of 500. This makes Scyther the only pre-evolutionary form that has the same base stat total as its evolution.
* Scyther has the highest base stat total of all Pokémon that have not evolved but can still evolve, with 500.
* Scyther can be seen as a parallel to {{p|Pinsir}}. Both of them are {{type|Bug}} {{cat|Generation I Pokémon}}. Scyther is exclusive to [[Pokémon Red and Blue Versions|Pokémon Red]], [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions|FireRed]] and [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Versions|Diamond]], while Pinsir is exclusive to [[Pokémon Red and Blue Versions|Pokémon Blue]], [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions|LeafGreen]] and [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Versions|Pearl]].
* Scyther's weight and National Pokédex number are the same: 123.

===Origin===
Scyther draws much inspiration from a {{wp|praying mantis}} and {{wp|mantidlflies}}. However, its face is more {{wp|reptile|reptilian}}, with similarities to {{wp|dinosaur}}s and {{wp|dragon}}s.

====Name origin====
Scyther is a combination of ''scythe'' and the suffix ''{{tt|-er|thing that does an action}}'', in reference to its sharp blades.

Strike is literally ''strike''.

==Trivia==
* Power Gem is notable for being exclusive to Pokémon with designs that incorporate gemlike features, thus being distributed among Pokémon independent of [[type]].
* Despite possessing jeweled features, {{p|Golduck}}, {{p|Tentacool}}, {{p|Tentacruel}}, {{p|Cloyster}}, {{p|Dragonair}}, {{p|Espeon}}, {{p|Clamperl}}, {{p|Deoxys}}, {{p|Uxie}}, {{p|Mesprit}}, {{p|Azelf}}, {{p|Manaphy}}, {{p|Phione}}, {{p|Arceus}}, {{p|Amaura}}, {{p|Aurorus}}, and {{p|Diancie}} can not learn Power Gem.
* Power Gem is the only Rock-type {{OBP|Beauty|condition}} move.
* Despite [[game move errors|not being able]] to learn it, {{p|Diancie}} is seen using Power Gem on {{pkmn|X and Y}}'s [http://www.pokemonxy.com/en-us/pokemon/diancie/ official website]. However, since the battle takes place in a [[cave]], it is possible the move Diancie used was actually {{m|Nature Power}}.

([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ジャローダ''' ''Jalorda'') is a {{type2|Grass}} Pokémon introduced in [[Generation V]].

It evolves from {{p|Janovy}} starting at [[level]] 36. It is the final form of {{p|Tsutarja}}.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Jalorda is a primarily pale-green, snake-like Pokémon. Jalorda has curled pale-green patterns on the sides of its face and snout, and small, pointed yellow extensions on the back of their heads. Its face and upper neck are white-colored, and curled, tendril-like darker green extensions spread out from the sides of its lower neck, forming a curling pattern lower down the body, resembling a fancy collar. It has narrow red eyes. The upper section of its body is dark green, and the lower pale green. Curled yellow patterns adorn its body, and a sprig-like feature of several leaves tip its tail. It has lost its legs completely, and now only has small, stubby hands.

====Gender differences====
None

===Special abilities===
Jalorda is able to amplify sunlight inside its body. Its piercing stare can stop opponents in their tracks.

===Behavior===
Jalorda holds its head high pretentiously while fighting. It doesn't take most opponents seriously, unless said opponent is particularly powerful.

==Trivia==
* Jalorda is the tallest [[starter Pokémon]].
* Jalorda is the only starter Pokémon without legs.
* Jalorda (and to a lesser extent, {{p|Tsutarja}} and {{p|Janovy}}) is the only snake-based Pokémon not part of the {{egg3|Dragon}}, instead being part of the {{egg|Ground}} and {{egg|Plant}} groups.

===Origin===
Jalorda is based off multiple species of non-venomous {{wp|snakes}} and limbless lizards, such as the {{wp|Green Vine Snake}}, the {{wp|Emerald Tree Boa}}, the {{wp|Royal Python}} or the snake-like {{wp|Lialis burtonis}}, Its design was based off of {{wp|Strelitzia}}s, most likely either the {{wp|strelitzia juncea}} and/or the {{wp|strelitzia reginae}}. Its appearence may have also been inspired by the {{wp|Quetzalcoatl}}; a green, {{wp|Feathered Serpent (deity)|feathered serpent deity}}. Jalorda's appearance may have been based on the {{wp|acanthus (ornament)|acanthus leaf}} motifs used specially during the 18th century. It and its pre-evolutions were confirmed to have been inspired from European, specifically French, royalty. The fact that Jalorda amplifies sunlight in its body, as stated in its Pokédex entry, may be an allusion to King {{wp|Louis XIV}}, a famous French king who referred to himself as the "Sun King". Jalorda's white face also alludes to the {{wp|skin whitening}} fashion, mostly used by the European aristocracy in the 17th century. {{p|Tsutarja}} and its evolutionary line may also be based off of the {{wp|Serpent (Bible)|Serpent}} in the {{wp|Garden of Eden}} story from the {{wp|Old Testament}}. {{wp|God in Christianity|God}} had cursed the serpent to crawl on its belly and lose its legs for leading mankind into sin. Jalorda's {{a|Antagonist|Dream World ability}} also suggests this. The fact that Jalorda can seize opponents with its piercing stare makes a reference to the {{wp|Basilisk}}, king of serpents in European legends.

====Name origin====
Jalorda's name is derived from "Ja", meaning snake, and lord.

([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ビクティニ''' ''Victini'') is a dual-type {{2t|Psychic|Fire}} [[legendary Pokémon]] introduced in [[Generation V]].

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

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Victini is a small, rodent-like Pokémon. Its large, pointed ears are shaped like the letter V, possibly for its name or the generation it was introduced in. Its head is comparatively large for its small body, and cream-colored, while the tops of its ears and extremities are all orange. Its arms and legs are rounded to make a sort of "cuff" before ending with small hands and feet. Victini has two tails which appear to be winglike.

====Gender differences====
Victini are a genderless species.

===Special abilities===
Victini are said to bring victory to the Trainer that owns it. It produces infinite energy within itself and shares it with others by touching them.

Victini is the only Pokémon that can use the move {{m|Ball of Flame}}, as well as {{m|V-Generate}}.

==Trivia==
* Victini was first shown in a preview for the [[M14|14th Pokémon movie]] at the end of ''[[M13|Zoroark: Master of Illusions]]''.
* Victini's [[List of Pokémon by Isshu Pokédex number|Isshu Pokédex]] number is 000, making it the first Pokémon to legitimately have the number 000 in any Pokédex listing.
* Not including Forme changes, Victini is [[List of Pokémon with unique type combinations|the only]] Pokémon to have the type combination of {{2t|Psychic|Fire}}.
* Victini is the only Pokémon to be listed before the [[starter Pokémon]] of its native region.
** Consequently, Victini is the only legendary Pokémon of a later generation to appear next to legendary Pokémon of an earlier generation in the National Pokédex.

===Origin===
Victini's appearance, especially in its shiny form, seems to be based on [http://recipe.gourmet.yahoo.co.jp/E211234/ うさぎリンゴ ''usagi-ringo''], a method of cutting apple slices to make them look similar to rabbits. Conceptually, it might draw inspiration from {{wp|Nike (mythology)|Nike}}, the Greek, winged goddess of victory, or {{wp|Victoria (mythology)|Victoria}}, the Roman equivalent of Nike. Its tail wings may be a reference to Nike's wings.

====Name origin====
Victini possibly comes from ''victory'', ''destiny'', and ''teeny''.

'''Pikachu''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ピカチュウ''' ''Pikachu'') is an {{type2|Electric}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Pichu}} by [[happiness]], and evolves into {{p|Raichu}} when exposed to a {{evostone|Thunderstone}}.

Pikachu is popularly known as the mascot of the [[Pokémon]] franchise.

It is the [[version mascot]] of {{game|Yellow}}, where it is the only [[starter Pokémon]] in that game, and has made numerous appearences on the boxes of spin-off titles.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
A Pikachu is a short, chubby, ground-dwelling rodent notable for its Electric abilities. Pikachu have short, yellow fur with brown stripes on the back, black-tipped ears, along with an unusually shaped tail, resembling a lightning bolt. Besides its evolution and pre-evolution, it may be related to {{p|Plusle}}, {{p|Minun}}, and {{p|Pachirisu}}, due to notable physical similarities.

Pikachu are known to have acute senses of hearing, thanks to their large ears. Most domestic Pikachu are able to understand and interpret human speech at levels far surpassing those of any pet dog.

In ''[[DP074|Pika and Goliath!]]'', when [[Ash's Pikachu]] was injured, it was shown to have a heart rate of 156.
====Gender differences====
A female Pikachu has a small "dent" at the end of its tail that resembles a heart.

===Special abilities===
Exclusive to Pikachu is the ability to release electric {{m|discharge}}s of varying intensity, at will, through electric sacs in its cheeks. This electric energy can be manipulated into a variety of [[Moves|techniques]] which are mostly used in {{pkmn|battle}}, but which can be used to roast berries as well.

As Pikachu build up energy in their electricity glands, it often needs to discharge, as to not result in a short, or worse, which can lead to physical {{status|Paralysis|Paralysis}}, or in severe cases, death. Pikachu release the built-up energy through their tail, which acts as a grounding rod, to safely remove unneeded energy. A sure sign to tell if a location is inhabited by Pikachu is to look for patches of burnt grass, which is the result of the discharge. Through an inability to release a buildup of electricity, a Pikachu may develop a rare condition similar to the human flu. This illness is most often caused by strong nearby electro-magnetic forces, which severely impact the electric glands. If a Pikachu is introduced to a magnet, it will be attracted towards its cheeks, and display other common attributes of magnetism.

Pikachu and its evolution family, {{p|Pichu}} and {{p|Raichu}}, are the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] that can learn {{m|Volt Tackle}}. In a [[Pikachu variants#Surfing Pikachu|few rare cases]], Pikachu can learn to {{m|Rain Dance|manipulate}} {{t|Water}} and, with the help of a surfboard, perform the move {{m|Surf}}. [[Pikachu variants#Flying Pikachu|Other rare cases]] show that Pikachu can also learn, with the use of balloons, to perform the move {{m|Fly}}.

===Behavior===
In the wild, Pikachu often travel in packs, and are rarely territorial. However, when threatened, a group can generate an intense electrical offensive, and the electro-magnetic forces exerted by the resulting field can even produce a short lived, localized thunderstorm. Pikachu can be harmful pests, eating and sometimes destroying telephone poles, wires, and other electronic equipment.

Despite this, it is a popular pet, and relatively easy to maintain, with little exercise necessary for its well being. However, it is important to discharge the electricity in its cheeks periodically.

As many know, pulling on a Pikachu's tail will result in a severe shock to the offender. Another defense of Pikachu's is the use of its nasty {{m|Bite}} which has been known to leave quite a mark.

===Habitat===
[[File:Forest.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Forest Pokémon}}]]
They are found mostly in forests, but possibly because of their attraction to their electricity or simply because they are not afraid of people, Pikachu commonly show up in civilized areas. They may even enter houses, presumably attracted by the electrical output generated by the dwellers' appliances. Pikachu are native only to the [[Kanto]] region, although they have been introduced to many other regions.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}
Living in wooded areas, Pikachu often are found foraging for [[berry|berries]]. Instead of climbing trees, they use small electrical shocks to release the berries from the tree, roasting them at the same time.

As pets, they can be fed a variety of processed food. Alternatively, like most Pokémon, Pikachu are tolerant to most "human" foods, and sometimes enjoy them more than the more nutritional food designed for their biology. An example of this is the fact that [[Ash's Pikachu]] has been known to have a fondness of ketchup, probably due to to the fact that Ash's last name, Ketchum, sounds like a mix of catch 'em of "gotta catch 'em all" and ketchup.

==In the anime==
[[File:Ash_Pikachu_HD.png|thumb|Pikachu in the anime]]
===Major appearances===
====[[Ash's Pikachu]]====
[[Ash Ketchum]] has a Pikachu that he [[Starter Pokémon|obtained]] from [[Professor Oak]] in ''[[EP001|Pokémon - I Choose You!]]'', the first episode of the Pokémon anime series. It has appeared in every non-special episode and every Pokémon movie since.

Ash was given the opportunity to release Pikachu in ''[[EP039|Pikachu's Goodbye]]'', though Pikachu chose to stay with him. This episode also featured many other wild Pikachu.

A Pikachu named Sugar belonging to the owners of a restaurant went missing prior to ''[[DP024|Cooking up a Sweet Story!]]'', and Ash's Pikachu had to fill in for it so that its owner would have the confidence to win a cooking competition. At the end of the episode, the Pikachu returns, however, it has evolved into a {{p|Raichu}}.

====[[Sparky|Ritchie's Pikachu]]====
[[Ritchie]] also has a Pikachu nicknamed [[Sparky]], who debuted in ''[[EP078|A Friend In Deed]]''. Sparky, unlike most Pikachu, has a tuft of fur on the top of its head.

====[[Ashachu]]====
Ash gets turned into a Pikachu in ''[[EP241|Hocus Pokémon]]'' by a Pokémon magician named {{Jo|Lily}}. He reverts to his human form at the beginning of [[EP242|the next episode]].

====Other====
At least 20 other Pikachu appeared in ''[[EP002|Pokémon Emergency!]]'' to help Ash's Pikachu defeat [[Team Rocket]]'s [[Jessie]], [[James]], and {{MTR}} to send them blasting off for the first time.

Another Pikachu nicknamed '''[[Puka]]''' was owned by a man named {{ka|Victor}} on [[Seafoam Islands|Seafoam Island]] in ''[[EP067|The Pi-Kahuna]]''. This blue-eyed Pikachu had the ability to sense tidal waves approaching.

A Pikachu has also been owned by [[Luana]]'s son, [[Travis]]. Luana mistook Ash for Travis when she saw Pikachu on Ash's shoulder.

In ''[[AG086|Lights, Camerupt, Action]]'', [[Elijah]] used a Pikachu in one of his movies. This Pikachu helped {{p|Plusle}} and {{p|Minun}} on their mission to rescue Princess {{p|Kirlia}} from the evil {{p|Exploud}}.

In ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'', {{an|Mewtwo}} clones Ash's Pikachu. This Pikachu can be told apart from Ash's due to spikes on the black marks at the tips of its ears. It is also comparatively more aggressive than Ash's Pikachu and slurs its speech, defects possibly caused by Ash tampering with Mewtwo's cloning machine during the cloning process.

A Pikachu also had a part in ''[[SS019|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Team Go-Getters out of the Gate!]]''. He was kidnapped by a {{p|Skarmory}} and Team Go-Getters set out to rescue him as their first mission. Pikachu provided them with some items in the battle.

===Minor appearances===
Aside from Ash's Pikachu, Pokémon of this species, wild and Trainers' alike, are rarely seen in the anime. This is most likely due to the fact that Ash's Pikachu is seen in every episode.

[[James]] used a Pikachu in the Pokémon League Entrance Exam in ''[[EP056|The Ultimate Test]]'', but it was defeated by the instructor's {{p|Graveler}}. James, after interfering with a battle {{Ash}} was having with the instructor, later tried to steal this Pikachu, only for that Pikachu to zap James instead, as instructed by its instructor.

A Pikachu belonging to an unnamed Aura Guardian appeared in a flashback in ''[[DP056|The Keystone Pops!]]''.

==In the manga==
[[Electric Tale of Pikachu]] prominently features a Pikachu.

A {{MPJ|Pikachu}} is one of the main characters in [[Magical Pokémon Journey]].

A more mouse-like {{TP|Isamu Akai|Pikachu}} that communicates through pantomime is one of [[Isamu Akai]]'s Pokémon in {{OBP|Pocket Monsters|manga}}.

{{Zensho|Satoshi}} has a Pikachu as one of the members of his team in [[Pokémon Zensho]]. It later evolves into a {{p|Raichu}}.

[[Shū]]'s first Pokémon was a {{OBP|Pikachu|Get da ze!}} he found abandoned in the forest in [[Pokémon Get da ze!]].

Ash's Pikachu was the main character in the short-lived [[Pokémon Newspaper Strip]].

A story called "Akari and Pikachu's Birthday" is featured in the final volume of [[How I Became a Pokémon Card]].

In [[Pokémon Gold & Silver: The Golden Boys|Golden Boys]], {{OBP|Gold|Golden Boys}} was in possession of a Pikachu, which ended up being [[Eusine]]'s.

A Pikachu makes a cameo in [[Pokémon Battle Frontier]] during one of the battles. Also, a photo album owned by {{FB|Salon Maiden|Anabel}} has a Pikachu on the cover.
===Pokémon Adventures===
[[File:PSPikachu.jpg|thumb|right|Pikachu in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
Pikachu debuted in its own round in the {{chap|Red, Green & Blue}}, ''[[PS004|Wanted: Pikachu!]]''. Here, a [[Pika|Pikachu]] was stealing all the crops in a town. The townsfolk kept chasing it around, but end up getting shocked by it. {{adv|Red}} arrives and captures it, ending the chaos.

In the ninth volume, {{adv|Yellow}} is seen to have a new addition to her team: a [[Chuchu|Pikachu]] she had found injured in the [[Viridian Forest]] and nursed back to health. When Pika is left behind by Red on his trip to [[Mt. Silver]], Pika joins Yellow and Chuchu on their trip to Johto.

Pika and Chuchu share a loving relationship, one that is so strong that even [[Jasmine]] noticed, prompting her to hand Yellow a slip with the Pokémon Daycare's address on it. In Volume 13, after Yellow and Wilton are brought to the Daycare after being shipwrecked, Yellow finds that Pika and Chuchu now have an egg shortly after they were "put together." The egg eventually hatches into {{adv|Gold}}'s Pichu.

Wild Pikachu also appeared in the R/S and D/P sagas.

{{Mangadexfooter}}

==In the TCG==
{{main|Pikachu (TCG)}}
Pikachu somehow manages to find its way into many of the expansions, causing there to be {{PAGESINCATEGORY:Pikachu (TCG)}} known non-reprint Pokémon cards featuring Pikachu. There are also various Trainer cards with Pikachu in the card's artwork too, including the very sought-after tournament promos such as {{OBP|No.1 Trainer|Tournament promo}}.

The first Pikachu that appeared in the TCG was {{TCG ID|Base Set|Pikachu|58}} in the {{TCG|Base Set}} (which was reprinted in {{TCG|Base Set 2}} and in {{TCG|POP Series 2}} with different artwork). It was followed in {{TCG|Jungle|the next set}} by another {{TCG ID|Jungle|Pikachu|60}} (which was also reprinted in the {{TCG|Legendary Collection}}). The third Pikachu card released was the first-ever English {{TCG|Wizards Black Star Promos|promo card}}, {{TCG ID|Wizards Promo|Pikachu|1}}. The original Base Set Pikachu was also released as a special promotional card at {{wp|E3}}.

In the early days of the TCG, several notable errors were made regarding the Pikachu cards. The Base Set Pikachu was released with altered artwork at first, depicting it with red cheeks, instead of the original yellow. While this matched [[Ken Sugimori]]'s artwork, the yellow color on its cheeks was intentional by the artist, who depicted Pikachu using {{m|ThunderShock}}. This error appeared in both the E3 promotional version and the normal Base Set release. A second error was made in the production of Jungle set booster packs, which, instead of the Jungle set's Pikachu, contained, at times, first edition versions of the Pikachu that was released as a promo card.

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

==Other appearances==
===[[Super Smash Bros.]]===
Pikachu is a playable character and the only Pokémon that is playable from the start of the game. Its main stage is [[Saffron City]].

In the hands of a skilled player, Pikachu is not to be taken lightly. Alongside electrical attacks, it has very good aerial attacks and superb recovery. Because of this, top-level SSB players have placed Pikachu at the top of their list, theoretically making it the best character in the game.

{{SmashMoves|type=Electric|game=Smash|Spe=Thunder Jolt|SpeU=Quick Attack|SpeUM=yes|SpeD=Thunder|SpeDM=yes}}

===[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]===
Pikachu is a returning playable character and the only Pokémon that is playable from the start of the game. Its main stage is [[Pokémon Stadium (stage)|Kanto: Pokémon Stadium]].

While Pikachu's play style remained the same, it was powered down in the sequel. The tier lists for Melee place Pikachu in either the Middle or Low tier.

{{SmashMoves|type=Electric|game=Melee|Spe=Thunder Jolt|SpeS=Skull Bash|SpeSM=yes|SpeU=Quick Attack|SpeUM=yes|SpeD=Thunder|SpeDM=yes}}

====Trophy information====
=====Classic Mode=====
It's safe to say that Pikachu is the most famous and popular of all Pokémon. It has electric pouches in both cheeks; when in danger, it shoots electricity at its enemies. Although Pikachu can evolve into Raichu by exposure to a Thunderstone, many Trainers like Pikachu so much that they don't let it evolve.

=====Adventure Mode=====
While its electrical attacks, such as {{m|Thunder}} and Thunder Jolt, are powerful, Pikachu is at its best speeding around the fray and waiting for its chance to strike. You can control the path of Pikachu's two-directional {{m|Quick Attack}}, allowing you to jump twice. Hold down the B Button to charge up {{m|Skull Bash}}.

=====All-Star Mode=====
The angle of the Control Stick controls the direction of Pikachu's Quick Attack. Pikachu will move blindingly fast, and it will also cause damage to any character it runs into. Move the Control Stick during Quick Attack and Pikachu will move in up to two directions. Be sure to check out the ceilings on the level when you use Thunder.

===[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]===
[[File:Pikachu_Brawl.jpg|140px|thumb|right|Pikachu in Brawl]]
Pikachu is a returning playable character to the franchise. Its Final Smash move is {{m|Volt Tackle}}.
It has different designs for hats including Red's hat from {{game|Red and Blue|s}}.

{{SmashMoves|type=Electric|game=Brawl|Spe=Thunder Jolt|SpeS=Skull Bash|SpeSM=yes|SpeU=Quick Attack|SpeUM=yes|SpeD=Thunder|SpeDM=yes|FS=Volt Tackle|FSM=yes}}

====Subspace Emissary====
Pikachu is first seen in the "Research Facility" stage where it is being used to power a generator. Responding to its shrieks of pain, {{wp|Samus Aran|Zero Suit Samus}} saves it by destroying the generator. The two then face a group of {{wp|R.O.B}} Sentries. Pikachu then joins Samus to search for her stolen power suit. The suit is soon recovered and then are soon confronted by {{wp|Metroid (series)#Recurring characters|Ridley}}. He grabs Samus and begins dragging her across the walls. It is now that Pikachu returns the favor as it zaps Ridley with a powerful Thunder attack. After, Pikachu can be used to battle the final boss.

====Trophy information====
''"A Mouse Pokémon. Its lightning-bolt tail and round cheeks are its trademarks. When danger draws near, it uses tiny electric pouches within its cheeks to discharge electricity. When it's really fired up, it unleashes thunderbolts on its rivals. It's said to recharge when it's {{status|Sleep|sleeping}}. It evolves into {{p|Raichu}}."''

====Smash Bros.-only moves====
'''Thunder Jolt''' (Japanese: '''でんげき''' ''Electric Attack'') is {{p|Pikachu}}'s standard special move in all three ''Smash Bros.'' games. When used, Pikachu will release a small, blue bolt that slowly jumps across the platform. It can also turn around at some corners.

When used in midair, Pikachu will instead make a white ball that will travel in a downward diagonal line until it reaches a platform. In ''Brawl'', there is a purple sphere around the white ball.

==Trivia==
* The "secret" move for Pikachu's evolution line, {{m|Volt Tackle}}, is actually based on (and in the Japanese version, named after) {{wp|Pulseman}}'s signature move, Voltteccer. To get this move, a {{p|Pichu}} must be bred from a parent Pikachu or {{p|Raichu}} holding a [[Light Ball]], though this can only happen in {{game|Emerald}} and on.
** A Pikachu knowing Surf and Volt Tackle can be obtained from [[Pokémon Battle Revolution]] by defeating [[Stargazer Colosseum]] for the first time.
** Another way to obtain a Pikachu with Volt Tackle is in the Pokéwalker course Yellow Forest.
* Pikachu is the smallest, lightest, and the weakest [[version mascot]], likely owing to the fact that it is neither fully evolved nor legendary, unlike the rest.
* There is a Pikachu balloon with glowing cheeks in the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade.
* In the games, Pikachu is the first Pokémon to have its [[cry]] changed to that of its anime counterpart. This only happened in {{game|Yellow}}. [[Junichi Masuda]] details the modification of [[Ikue Ohtani]]'s voice to a sound capable of being made by the low-tech [[Game Boy]] in his [http://www.gamefreak.co.jp/blog/dir_english/?p=144 Director's Column]. In some parts of the game, though, Pikachu's original cry was used.
* Pikachu is in all six regional [[Pokédex]]es, though it is only known to be native to Kanto. It is imported from Kanto to Hoenn's Safari Zone and Mr. Backlot's house in Sinnoh. However, it may also be native to Fiore and/or Almia, as their presence there is unexplained.
* Pikachu is the first {{type2|Electric}} Pokémon in [[National Pokédex]] order.
* Pikachu is one of fourteen Pokémon that one can collect [[Meister|foreign Pokédex entries]] for in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}.
* Pikachu and {{p|Raichu}} share the same [[species]] name with {{p|Rattata}}, {{p|Raticate}}, {{p|Sandshrew}}, and {{p|Sandslash}}. They are all known as Mouse Pokémon, although Rattata and Raticate have also been called the Rat Pokémon.
* On {{ga|Red}}'s final team in [[Mt. Silver]] at the end of the [[Generation II]] games, Pikachu was the highest leveled Pokémon to be faced in any Pokémon game, excluding the [[Pokémon Stadium series|Stadium]]/{{pkmn|Colosseum}}/{{pkmn|Battle Revolution}} series and the [[Battle Tower]]/[[Battle Frontier]], at level 81. This places it one level higher than the wild {{p|Arceus}} that appears at the [[Hall of Origin]]. In {{game|Platinum}}, {{ga|Barry}}'s final party includes several members that are higher leveled than {{ga|Red's Pikachu}}, and higher-level {{p|Magikarp}} can be found in the [[Resort Area]]'s pond. However, with the advent of {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, Red's Pikachu is once more the highest leveled trained Pokémon, at level 88, and highest leveled Pokémon after the Magikarp from the Resort Area and discounting Battle Frontier-esque facilities and games as noted above.
* Pikachu is the first Pokémon in the National Pokédex listing to have a {{pkmn2|baby}} relative.
** This also makes it the first Pokémon in National Pokédex order to be related to a Pokémon of another generation.
* Pikachu is also the first Pokémon in National Pokédex order that evolves by way of an [[evolutionary stone]].
* Pikachu is the only Pokémon included in the [[Pokémon Stadium (Japanese)|original Pokémon Stadium]] that was {{p|Raichu|capable of evolving further}} when the game was released. Strangely, Raichu was excluded from the said game.
* Pikachu is the only starter Pokémon which cannot be evolved in the game that it is the starter for.
** Pikachu is also the only [[main series]] [[starter Pokémon]] that does not have a 7:1 male to female gender ratio.
*In 2008, Japanese researchers discovered a new protein which helps carry electrical impulses from the eyes to the brain and named it {{wp|Pikachurin}}. They based themselves on Pikachu for the choice of the name because they noticed that both Pikachu and the protein have amazing speed and agility.
* Pikachu has appeared in every non-special episode, as well as in every Pokémon movie.
* In {{game|Red and Blue|s}}, Pikachu's sprite shows it having a yellow stomach pouch. This is never shown again in later generations.
* In {{wp|The Simpsons}} episode 294, Bart begins to hallucinate from watching too much TV. During his hallucination, he is lifted up and serenaded with {{wp|Hava Nagila}} by several television characters he had seen while watching. One of them was Pikachu. Also, the {{wp|couch gag}} in episode 320 depicts the family as popular anime characters, with Maggie being shown as Pikachu. Finally, in episode 455, Bart is seen watching an episode of the Poke'mon anime, as Pikachu just dances around the screen saying it's name repeatedly. Bart then comments, "Man, how do they manage to keep this show so fresh over the years?" (The Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver games were released on the same day this episode first went to air in North America.)
* In the third season of {{wp|Heroes}}, {{wp|Hiro Nakamura}} is nicknamed "Pikachu" by {{wp|Daphne Millbrook}}, and later again by {{wp|Tracy Strauss}}.

===Origin===
Pikachu has physical aspects resembling several species of {{wp|rodent}}s, such as mice.
====Name origin====
Pikachu is a combination of ピカピカ ''pikapika'' which is Japanese onomatopoeia for sparkle and チューチュー ''chūchū'' which is the sound of squeaking. It may be named after the {{wp|pika}}, a lagomorph, but this is less likely. "Pika" also means "quick" in {{wp|Finnish}}.

'''Pikachu''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ピカチュウ''' ''Pikachu'') is an {{type2|Electric}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Pichu}} by [[happiness]], and evolves into {{p|Raichu}} when exposed to a {{evostone|Thunderstone}}.

Pikachu is popularly known as the mascot of the [[Pokémon]] franchise.

It is the [[version mascot]] of {{game|Yellow}}, where it is the only [[starter Pokémon]] in that game, and has made numerous appearences on the boxes of spin-off titles.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
A Pikachu is a short, chubby, ground-dwelling rodent notable for its Electric abilities. Pikachu have short, yellow fur with brown stripes on the back, black-tipped ears, along with an unusually shaped tail, resembling a lightning bolt. Besides its evolution and pre-evolution, it may be related to {{p|Plusle}}, {{p|Minun}}, and {{p|Pachirisu}}, due to notable physical similarities.

Pikachu are known to have acute senses of hearing, thanks to their large ears. Most domestic Pikachu are able to understand and interpret human speech at levels far surpassing those of any pet dog.

In ''[[DP074|Pika and Goliath!]]'', when [[Ash's Pikachu]] was injured, it was shown to have a heart rate of 156.
====Gender differences====
A female Pikachu has a small "dent" at the end of its tail that resembles a heart.

===Special abilities===
Exclusive to Pikachu is the ability to release electric {{m|discharge}}s of varying intensity, at will, through electric sacs in its cheeks. This electric energy can be manipulated into a variety of [[Moves|techniques]] which are mostly used in {{pkmn|battle}}, but which can be used to roast berries as well.

As Pikachu build up energy in their electricity glands, it often needs to discharge, as to not result in a short, or worse, which can lead to physical {{status|Paralysis|Paralysis}}, or in severe cases, death. Pikachu release the built-up energy through their tail, which acts as a grounding rod, to safely remove unneeded energy. A sure sign to tell if a location is inhabited by Pikachu is to look for patches of burnt grass, which is the result of the discharge. Through an inability to release a buildup of electricity, a Pikachu may develop a rare condition similar to the human flu. This illness is most often caused by strong nearby electro-magnetic forces, which severely impact the electric glands. If a Pikachu is introduced to a magnet, it will be attracted towards its cheeks, and display other common attributes of magnetism.

Pikachu and its evolution family, {{p|Pichu}} and {{p|Raichu}}, are the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] that can learn {{m|Volt Tackle}}. In a [[Pikachu variants#Surfing Pikachu|few rare cases]], Pikachu can learn to {{m|Rain Dance|manipulate}} {{t|Water}} and, with the help of a surfboard, perform the move {{m|Surf}}. [[Pikachu variants#Flying Pikachu|Other rare cases]] show that Pikachu can also learn, with the use of balloons, to perform the move {{m|Fly}}.

===Behavior===
In the wild, Pikachu often travel in packs, and are rarely territorial. However, when threatened, a group can generate an intense electrical offensive, and the electro-magnetic forces exerted by the resulting field can even produce a short lived, localized thunderstorm. Pikachu can be harmful pests, eating and sometimes destroying telephone poles, wires, and other electronic equipment.

Despite this, it is a popular pet, and relatively easy to maintain, with little exercise necessary for its well being. However, it is important to discharge the electricity in its cheeks periodically.

As many know, pulling on a Pikachu's tail will result in a severe shock to the offender. Another defense of Pikachu's is the use of its nasty {{m|Bite}} which has been known to leave quite a mark.

===Habitat===
[[File:Forest.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Forest Pokémon}}]]
They are found mostly in forests, but possibly because of their attraction to their electricity or simply because they are not afraid of people, Pikachu commonly show up in civilized areas. They may even enter houses, presumably attracted by the electrical output generated by the dwellers' appliances. Pikachu are native only to the [[Kanto]] region, although they have been introduced to many other regions.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}
Living in wooded areas, Pikachu often are found foraging for [[berry|berries]]. Instead of climbing trees, they use small electrical shocks to release the berries from the tree, roasting them at the same time.

As pets, they can be fed a variety of processed food. Alternatively, like most Pokémon, Pikachu are tolerant to most "human" foods, and sometimes enjoy them more than the more nutritional food designed for their biology. An example of this is the fact that [[Ash's Pikachu]] has been known to have a fondness of ketchup, probably due to to the fact that Ash's last name, Ketchum, sounds like a mix of catch 'em of "gotta catch 'em all" and ketchup.

==In the anime==
[[File:Ash_Pikachu_HD.png|thumb|Pikachu in the anime]]
===Major appearances===
====[[Ash's Pikachu]]====
[[Ash Ketchum]] has a Pikachu that he [[Starter Pokémon|obtained]] from [[Professor Oak]] in ''[[EP001|Pokémon - I Choose You!]]'', the first episode of the Pokémon anime series. It has appeared in every non-special episode and every Pokémon movie since.

Ash was given the opportunity to release Pikachu in ''[[EP039|Pikachu's Goodbye]]'', though Pikachu chose to stay with him. This episode also featured many other wild Pikachu.

A Pikachu named Sugar belonging to the owners of a restaurant went missing prior to ''[[DP024|Cooking up a Sweet Story!]]'', and Ash's Pikachu had to fill in for it so that its owner would have the confidence to win a cooking competition. At the end of the episode, the Pikachu returns, however, it has evolved into a {{p|Raichu}}.

====[[Sparky|Ritchie's Pikachu]]====
[[Ritchie]] also has a Pikachu nicknamed [[Sparky]], who debuted in ''[[EP078|A Friend In Deed]]''. Sparky, unlike most Pikachu, has a tuft of fur on the top of its head.

====[[Ashachu]]====
Ash gets turned into a Pikachu in ''[[EP241|Hocus Pokémon]]'' by a Pokémon magician named {{Jo|Lily}}. He reverts to his human form at the beginning of [[EP242|the next episode]].

====Other====
At least 20 other Pikachu appeared in ''[[EP002|Pokémon Emergency!]]'' to help Ash's Pikachu defeat [[Team Rocket]]'s [[Jessie]], [[James]], and {{MTR}} to send them blasting off for the first time.

Another Pikachu nicknamed '''[[Puka]]''' was owned by a man named {{ka|Victor}} on [[Seafoam Islands|Seafoam Island]] in ''[[EP067|The Pi-Kahuna]]''. This blue-eyed Pikachu had the ability to sense tidal waves approaching.

A Pikachu has also been owned by [[Luana]]'s son, [[Travis]]. Luana mistook Ash for Travis when she saw Pikachu on Ash's shoulder.

In ''[[AG086|Lights, Camerupt, Action]]'', [[Elijah]] used a Pikachu in one of his movies. This Pikachu helped {{p|Plusle}} and {{p|Minun}} on their mission to rescue Princess {{p|Kirlia}} from the evil {{p|Exploud}}.

In ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'', {{an|Mewtwo}} clones Ash's Pikachu. This Pikachu can be told apart from Ash's due to spikes on the black marks at the tips of its ears. It is also comparatively more aggressive than Ash's Pikachu and slurs its speech, defects possibly caused by Ash tampering with Mewtwo's cloning machine during the cloning process.

A Pikachu also had a part in ''[[SS019|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Team Go-Getters out of the Gate!]]''. He was kidnapped by a {{p|Skarmory}} and Team Go-Getters set out to rescue him as their first mission. Pikachu provided them with some items in the battle.

===Minor appearances===
Aside from Ash's Pikachu, Pokémon of this species, wild and Trainers' alike, are rarely seen in the anime. This is most likely due to the fact that Ash's Pikachu is seen in every episode.

[[James]] used a Pikachu in the Pokémon League Entrance Exam in ''[[EP056|The Ultimate Test]]'', but it was defeated by the instructor's {{p|Graveler}}. James, after interfering with a battle {{Ash}} was having with the instructor, later tried to steal this Pikachu, only for that Pikachu to zap James instead, as instructed by its instructor.

A Pikachu belonging to an unnamed Aura Guardian appeared in a flashback in ''[[DP056|The Keystone Pops!]]''.

==In the manga==
[[Electric Tale of Pikachu]] prominently features a Pikachu.

A {{MPJ|Pikachu}} is one of the main characters in [[Magical Pokémon Journey]].

A more mouse-like {{TP|Isamu Akai|Pikachu}} that communicates through pantomime is one of [[Isamu Akai]]'s Pokémon in {{OBP|Pocket Monsters|manga}}.

{{Zensho|Satoshi}} has a Pikachu as one of the members of his team in [[Pokémon Zensho]]. It later evolves into a {{p|Raichu}}.

[[Shū]]'s first Pokémon was a {{OBP|Pikachu|Get da ze!}} he found abandoned in the forest in [[Pokémon Get da ze!]].

Ash's Pikachu was the main character in the short-lived [[Pokémon Newspaper Strip]].

A story called "Akari and Pikachu's Birthday" is featured in the final volume of [[How I Became a Pokémon Card]].

In [[Pokémon Gold & Silver: The Golden Boys|Golden Boys]], {{OBP|Gold|Golden Boys}} was in possession of a Pikachu, which ended up being [[Eusine]]'s.

A Pikachu makes a cameo in [[Pokémon Battle Frontier]] during one of the battles. Also, a photo album owned by {{FB|Salon Maiden|Anabel}} has a Pikachu on the cover.
===Pokémon Adventures===
[[File:PSPikachu.jpg|thumb|right|Pikachu in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
Pikachu debuted in its own round in the {{chap|Red, Green & Blue}}, ''[[PS004|Wanted: Pikachu!]]''. Here, a [[Pika|Pikachu]] was stealing all the crops in a town. The townsfolk kept chasing it around, but end up getting shocked by it. {{adv|Red}} arrives and captures it, ending the chaos.

In the ninth volume, {{adv|Yellow}} is seen to have a new addition to her team: a [[Chuchu|Pikachu]] she had found injured in the [[Viridian Forest]] and nursed back to health. When Pika is left behind by Red on his trip to [[Mt. Silver]], Pika joins Yellow and Chuchu on their trip to Johto.

Pika and Chuchu share a loving relationship, one that is so strong that even [[Jasmine]] noticed, prompting her to hand Yellow a slip with the Pokémon Daycare's address on it. In Volume 13, after Yellow and Wilton are brought to the Daycare after being shipwrecked, Yellow finds that Pika and Chuchu now have an egg shortly after they were "put together." The egg eventually hatches into {{adv|Gold}}'s Pichu.

Wild Pikachu also appeared in the R/S and D/P sagas.

==In the TCG==
{{main|Pikachu (TCG)}}
Pikachu somehow manages to find its way into many of the expansions, causing there to be {{PAGESINCATEGORY:Pikachu (TCG)}} known non-reprint Pokémon cards featuring Pikachu. There are also various Trainer cards with Pikachu in the card's artwork too, including the very sought-after tournament promos such as {{OBP|No.1 Trainer|Tournament promo}}.

The first Pikachu that appeared in the TCG was {{TCG ID|Base Set|Pikachu|58}} in the {{TCG|Base Set}} (which was reprinted in {{TCG|Base Set 2}} and in {{TCG|POP Series 2}} with different artwork). It was followed in {{TCG|Jungle|the next set}} by another {{TCG ID|Jungle|Pikachu|60}} (which was also reprinted in the {{TCG|Legendary Collection}}). The third Pikachu card released was the first-ever English {{TCG|Wizards Black Star Promos|promo card}}, {{TCG ID|Wizards Promo|Pikachu|1}}. The original Base Set Pikachu was also released as a special promotional card at {{wp|E3}}.

In the early days of the TCG, several notable errors were made regarding the Pikachu cards. The Base Set Pikachu was released with altered artwork at first, depicting it with red cheeks, instead of the original yellow. While this matched [[Ken Sugimori]]'s artwork, the yellow color on its cheeks was intentional by the artist, who depicted Pikachu using {{m|ThunderShock}}. This error appeared in both the E3 promotional version and the normal Base Set release. A second error was made in the production of Jungle set booster packs, which, instead of the Jungle set's Pikachu, contained, at times, first edition versions of the Pikachu that was released as a promo card.

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

==Other appearances==
===[[Super Smash Bros.]]===
Pikachu is a playable character and the only Pokémon that is playable from the start of the game. Its main stage is [[Saffron City]].

In the hands of a skilled player, Pikachu is not to be taken lightly. Alongside electrical attacks, it has very good aerial attacks and superb recovery. Because of this, top-level SSB players have placed Pikachu at the top of their list, theoretically making it the best character in the game.

{{SmashMoves|type=Electric|game=Smash|Spe=Thunder Jolt|SpeU=Quick Attack|SpeUM=yes|SpeD=Thunder|SpeDM=yes}}

===[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]===
Pikachu is a returning playable character and the only Pokémon that is playable from the start of the game. Its main stage is [[Pokémon Stadium (stage)|Kanto: Pokémon Stadium]].

While Pikachu's play style remained the same, it was powered down in the sequel. The tier lists for Melee place Pikachu in either the Middle or Low tier.

{{SmashMoves|type=Electric|game=Melee|Spe=Thunder Jolt|SpeS=Skull Bash|SpeSM=yes|SpeU=Quick Attack|SpeUM=yes|SpeD=Thunder|SpeDM=yes}}

====Trophy information====
=====Classic Mode=====
It's safe to say that Pikachu is the most famous and popular of all Pokémon. It has electric pouches in both cheeks; when in danger, it shoots electricity at its enemies. Although Pikachu can evolve into Raichu by exposure to a Thunderstone, many Trainers like Pikachu so much that they don't let it evolve.

=====Adventure Mode=====
While its electrical attacks, such as {{m|Thunder}} and Thunder Jolt, are powerful, Pikachu is at its best speeding around the fray and waiting for its chance to strike. You can control the path of Pikachu's two-directional {{m|Quick Attack}}, allowing you to jump twice. Hold down the B Button to charge up {{m|Skull Bash}}.

=====All-Star Mode=====
The angle of the Control Stick controls the direction of Pikachu's Quick Attack. Pikachu will move blindingly fast, and it will also cause damage to any character it runs into. Move the Control Stick during Quick Attack and Pikachu will move in up to two directions. Be sure to check out the ceilings on the level when you use Thunder.

===[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]===
[[File:Pikachu_Brawl.jpg|140px|thumb|right|Pikachu in Brawl]]
Pikachu is a returning playable character to the franchise. Its Final Smash move is {{m|Volt Tackle}}.
It has different designs for hats including Red's hat from {{game|Red and Blue|s}}.

{{SmashMoves|type=Electric|game=Brawl|Spe=Thunder Jolt|SpeS=Skull Bash|SpeSM=yes|SpeU=Quick Attack|SpeUM=yes|SpeD=Thunder|SpeDM=yes|FS=Volt Tackle|FSM=yes}}

====Subspace Emissary====
Pikachu is first seen in the "Research Facility" stage where it is being used to power a generator. Responding to its shrieks of pain, {{wp|Samus Aran|Zero Suit Samus}} saves it by destroying the generator. The two then face a group of {{wp|R.O.B}} Sentries. Pikachu then joins Samus to search for her stolen power suit. The suit is soon recovered and then are soon confronted by {{wp|Metroid (series)#Recurring characters|Ridley}}. He grabs Samus and begins dragging her across the walls. It is now that Pikachu returns the favor as it zaps Ridley with a powerful Thunder attack. After, Pikachu can be used to battle the final boss.

====[[wp:Metal Gear|Codec]] information (on Shadow Moses Island)====
*'''[[wp:List of recurring Metal Gear characters#Mei Ling|Mei Ling]]:''' ''"Ooh! How cuute!"''
*'''{{wp|Solid Snake}}:''' ''"What? The [[List of Pokémon by color#Yellow|yellow thing]]?"''
*'''Mei Ling:''' ''"That's Pikachu. It's a [[List of Pokémon by National Pokédex number|Pokémon]]. They're popular all over the {{pkmn|world}}, you know. And it may look cute, but be careful. It can store large amounts of {{t|electric}}ity in those adorable little cheeks. It'll try to pepper you with [[Pikachu (Pokémon)#Smash Bros.-only moves|electric shocks]]."''
*'''Solid Snake:''' ''"Couldn't be much worse than [[wp:Ocelot (Metal Gear)|Ocelot's]] old torture device..."''
*'''Mei Ling:''' ''"Oh, and, Snake?"''
*'''Solid Snake:''' ''"What?"''
*'''Mei Ling:''' ''"I was wondering, could you maybe try and {{pkmn2|caught|catch}} Pikachu for me? Pleeeeease?"''
*'''Solid Snake:''' ''"Give me a break! What do I look like, a [[Pokémon Trainer]]?"''
*'''Mei Ling:''' ''"Fine... Sorry I asked."''

====Trophy information====
''"A Mouse Pokémon. Its lightning-bolt tail and round cheeks are its trademarks. When danger draws near, it uses tiny electric pouches within its cheeks to discharge electricity. When it's really fired up, it unleashes thunderbolts on its rivals. It's said to recharge when it's {{status|Sleep|sleeping}}. It evolves into {{p|Raichu}}."''

==Game data==
===NPC appearances===
* {{eng|Pokémon Stadium}}: Pikachu stars in the mini-game "Thundering Dynamo" alongside {{p|Voltorb}}. This mini-game involves charging up electric power.
* [[Pokémon Stadium 2]]: Pikachu can be used in "Pichu's Power Plant" if one is detected in a Transferred Pokémon game.

====Smash Bros.-only moves====
'''Thunder Jolt''' (Japanese: '''でんげき''' ''Electric Attack'') is {{p|Pikachu}}'s standard special move in all three ''Smash Bros.'' games. When used, Pikachu will release a small, blue bolt that slowly jumps across the platform. It can also turn around at some corners.

When used in midair, Pikachu will instead make a white ball that will travel in a downward diagonal line until it reaches a platform. In ''Brawl'', there is a purple sphere around the white ball.

==Trivia==
* The "secret" move for Pikachu's evolution line, {{m|Volt Tackle}}, is actually based on (and in the Japanese version, named after) {{wp|Pulseman}}'s signature move, Voltteccer. To get this move, a {{p|Pichu}} must be bred from a parent Pikachu or {{p|Raichu}} holding a [[Light Ball]], though this can only happen in {{game|Emerald}} and on.
** A Pikachu knowing Surf and Volt Tackle can be obtained from [[Pokémon Battle Revolution]] by defeating [[Stargazer Colosseum]] for the first time.
** Another way to obtain a Pikachu with Volt Tackle is in the Pokéwalker course Yellow Forest.
* Pikachu is the smallest, lightest, and the weakest [[version mascot]], likely owing to the fact that it is neither fully evolved nor legendary, unlike the rest.
* There is a Pikachu balloon with glowing cheeks in the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade.
* In the games, Pikachu is the first Pokémon to have its [[cry]] changed to that of its anime counterpart. This only happened in {{game|Yellow}}. [[Junichi Masuda]] details the modification of [[Ikue Ohtani]]'s voice to a sound capable of being made by the low-tech [[Game Boy]] in his [http://www.gamefreak.co.jp/blog/dir_english/?p=144 Director's Column]. In some parts of the game, though, Pikachu's original cry was used.
* Pikachu is in all six regional [[Pokédex]]es, though it is only known to be native to Kanto. It is imported from Kanto to Hoenn's Safari Zone and Mr. Backlot's house in Sinnoh. However, it may also be native to Fiore and/or Almia, as their presence there is unexplained.
* Pikachu is the first {{type2|Electric}} Pokémon in [[National Pokédex]] order.
* Pikachu is one of fourteen Pokémon that one can collect [[Meister|foreign Pokédex entries]] for in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}.
* Pikachu and {{p|Raichu}} share the same [[species]] name with {{p|Rattata}}, {{p|Raticate}}, {{p|Sandshrew}}, and {{p|Sandslash}}. They are all known as Mouse Pokémon, although Rattata and Raticate have also been called the Rat Pokémon.
* On {{ga|Red}}'s final team in [[Mt. Silver]] at the end of the [[Generation II]] games, Pikachu was the highest leveled Pokémon to be faced in any Pokémon game, excluding the [[Pokémon Stadium series|Stadium]]/{{pkmn|Colosseum}}/{{pkmn|Battle Revolution}} series and the [[Battle Tower]]/[[Battle Frontier]], at level 81. This places it one level higher than the wild {{p|Arceus}} that appears at the [[Hall of Origin]]. In {{game|Platinum}}, {{ga|Barry}}'s final party includes several members that are higher leveled than {{ga|Red's Pikachu}}, and higher-level {{p|Magikarp}} can be found in the [[Resort Area]]'s pond. However, with the advent of {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, Red's Pikachu is once more the highest leveled trained Pokémon, at level 88, and highest leveled Pokémon after the Magikarp from the Resort Area and discounting Battle Frontier-esque facilities and games as noted above.
* Pikachu is the first Pokémon in the National Pokédex listing to have a {{pkmn2|baby}} relative.
** This also makes it the first Pokémon in National Pokédex order to be related to a Pokémon of another generation.
* Pikachu is also the first Pokémon in National Pokédex order that evolves by way of an [[evolutionary stone]].
* Pikachu is the only Pokémon included in the [[Pokémon Stadium (Japanese)|original Pokémon Stadium]] that was {{p|Raichu|capable of evolving further}} when the game was released. Strangely, Raichu was excluded from the said game.
* Pikachu is the only starter Pokémon which cannot be evolved in the game that it is the starter for.
** Pikachu is also the only [[main series]] [[starter Pokémon]] that does not have a 7:1 male to female gender ratio.
*In 2008, Japanese researchers discovered a new protein which helps carry electrical impulses from the eyes to the brain and named it {{wp|Pikachurin}}. They based themselves on Pikachu for the choice of the name because they noticed that both Pikachu and the protein have amazing speed and agility.
* Pikachu has appeared in every non-special episode, as well as in every Pokémon movie.
* In {{game|Red and Blue|s}}, Pikachu's sprite shows it having a yellow stomach pouch. This is never shown again in later generations.
* In {{wp|The Simpsons}} episode 294, Bart begins to hallucinate from watching too much TV. During his hallucination, he is lifted up and serenaded with {{wp|Hava Nagila}} by several television characters he had seen while watching. One of them was Pikachu. Also, the {{wp|couch gag}} in episode 320 depicts the family as popular anime characters, with Maggie being shown as Pikachu. Finally, in episode 455, Bart is seen watching an episode of the Poke'mon anime, as Pikachu just dances around the screen saying it's name repeatedly. Bart then comments, "Man, how do they keep this show so fresh?"
* In the third season of {{wp|Heroes}}, {{wp|Hiro Nakamura}} is nicknamed "Pikachu" by {{wp|Daphne Millbrook}}, and later again by {{wp|Tracy Strauss}}.

===Origin===
Pikachu has physical aspects resembling several species of {{wp|rodent}}s, such as mice.
====Name origin====
Pikachu is a combination of ピカピカ ''pikapika'' which is Japanese onomatopoeia for sparkle and チューチュー ''chūchū'' which is the sound of squeaking. It may be named after the {{wp|pika}}, a lagomorph, but this is less likely. "Pika" also means "quick" in {{wp|Finnish}}.

'''Exploud''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''バクオング''' ''Bakuong'') is a {{type2|Normal}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Loudred}} starting at [[level]] 40. It is the final form of {{p|Whismur}}.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Exploud is a large blue creature whose most obvious feature is its huge mouth, which sports two hippopotamus-like teeth on each jaw. It also has extruding tubes with holes along its body: seven along its head-crest, four on its elbows and knees, two along its back and two on the end of its two tails. These holes serve a dual-purpose: They can suck in air to increase Exploud's noise based attacks and they can make noise themselves. The holes along its head-crest and tails are tipped with yellow, and the holes along it back have yellow semicircular patterns at the sides. Exploud’s red eyes also add to its look of intimidation. There is also a half-circle on its belly, which is rarely seen because of its giant mouth. Its arms have three thin stripes below its elbow and three fingers. Exploud’s feet have four claws, three in front and one in back, and a yellow paw pad on its underside.

====Gender differences====
None.

====Special abilities====
Exploud can be an extremely loud Pokémon, capable of triggering earthquakes with the tremors made by raising its voice. Its loud cries can even be heard from six miles away. However, it only raises its voice when in battle. Otherwise, it produces a variety of flute-like noises to communicate with others.

===Behavior===
It uses sound from the sound-generating organs over its body to communicate its feelings, adjusting the tone and volume to produce the variety of whistle-like cries it emits. It only uses its voice for battle since it is too loud to use in normal situations. In the cases that it does, an Exploud violently inhales from the points on its body before it looses a bellow.

===Habitat===
[[Image:Cave.gif|right|frame|[[List of Pokémon by habitat#Cave Pokémon|Cave Pokémon]]]]

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

==In the anime==
[[Image:Exploud anime.jpg|thumb|{{Ho|Guy}}'s Exploud in the anime]]
{{Ho|Guy}}'s {{p|Loudred}} evolved into Exploud in ''[[AG066|Exploud and Clear]]''. After it evolved, it disobeyed {{Ho|Guy|its trainer}}, in a similar fashion as [[Ash's Charizard]]. It left Guy (knocking him to the side in the process). Later in the episode, [[Team Rocket]] tried to kidnap the Exploud and Guy tried to stop them from capturing it. When the Exploud saw what Guy was doing for it, the Exploud began to listen to him once again.

In, ''[[DP101|Barry's Busting Out All Over!]]'', {{an|Dawn}} remembered that {{an|Barry}} sang a duet with an Exploud at [[Twinleaf Town]]'s town festival.

===Pokédex entries===
{{Animedexheader|Hoenn}}
{{Animedexbody|AG066|Exploud|May's Pokédex| Exploud, the Loud Noise Pokémon. Exploud is able to incite {{m|Earthquake|Earthquakes}} with its powerful voice. Once it sucks in air through the holes all over its body, a {{m|Hyper Voice|loud attack}} is sure to follow.}}
{{Animedexfooter/Pokémon|''Advanced Generation''|Hoenn}}

==In the manga==
In the manga adaption for [[Arceus and the Jewel of Life (manga)|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]], [[Marcus]] owned an Exploud and along with his other Pokémon, he used them to attack and weaken {{an|Arceus}}.

==Trivia==
*Despite Exploud's name being similar to the word "explode", it is unable to learn {{m|Explosion}} legally.
===Origin===
Exploud is based on a {{wp|boombox}}, a portable music system that can play music at a relatively high volume. It also shares some features with the hippopotamus. The tubes on its body seem to be based on a {{wp|pipe organ}}, a musical instrument known for its loud volume..
====Name origin====
Exploud's name is a combination of ''explode'' and ''loud''.

''Bakuong'' may be a combination of the Japanese word for {{wp|explosion}}, ''bakuha'', and 音楽 ''ongaku'', music. It might also involve ''back'', referring to the openings on Exploud's back which allow it to create loud bellowings.

==In other languages==
*[[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Krawumms

'''Fearow''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''オニドリル ''' ''Onidrill'') is a dual-type {{2t|Normal|Flying}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Spearow}} starting at [[level]] 20.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Fearow is a large, mostly brown cormorant-like bird with a vulturine neck. It has a large, long, pink pointed beak and a red {{wp|coxcomb_(ornithology)|coxcomb}} upon its head. It has shaggy feathers on the base of its neck and in a vaguely cape-like pattern between its two huge wings. The cape itself is cream in color, as are the tips of its wings. Its nailed talons are pink, with three toes pointing forward and one pointing backward.
====Gender differences====
None.

====Special abilities====
They have large, strong beaks, giving them strong attacks such as {{m|Drill Peck}} and {{m|Fury Attack}}. It also can fly very quickly and very elegantly when it senses danger.

===Behavior===
Fearow builds its nest on highly elevated areas; they are commonly seen on the peaks of rock spires near canyons. Very tall trees can make a useful substitute for their nests. They are highly territorial and quick to anger, often attacking those who tread too near to their nests.
===Habitat===
[[Image:Roughterrain.gif|left|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Rough-terrain Pokémon}}]]
Fearow naturally live in badlands consisting of rough terrain, such as desolate wastelands and fields. Its natural range includes [[Kanto]], [[Johto]] and [[Sinnoh]].

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}
Fearow are vicious predators and swoop down from above, grabbing their prey and taking it to their nests. They generally eat bugs and rodents, as they prefer to avoid any type of plant. Fearow have been known to attack {{P|Pichu}}, {{P|Rattata}}, and {{P|Pidgey}}, it is presumed that they may prey on these Pokémon. Fearow also eat Pokémon food.

==In the anime==

==Trivia==
* In [[Generation IV]], Fearow weighs as much as the {{ga|Lucas|male protagonist}} of the game. It shares this characteristic with {{p|Skuntank}}, {{p|Togekiss}}, {{p|Sudowoodo}}, and {{p|Yanma}}.
* In [[Generation III]], it was the only Pokémon who could not learn {{m|Aerial Ace}} by leveling up while its pre-evolution could.
* The English names of the {{p|Spearow}} family and {{p|Beedrill}} are almost reversed from the Japanese in that Beedrill is named Spear and Fearow, Spearow's evolution, is called Onidrill.
*Fearow's cry is very similar to {{p|Cloyster}}, aside from some differences in pitch and volume.

===Origin===
Its appearance may be vaguely based off of the {{wp|cormorant}}, or even more closely to that of an {{wp|anhinga}}, despite being birds of the water. It also shares characteristics with {{wp|chickens}} and {{wp|snipe}}.

====Name origin====
Fearow's name is a combination of the words ''fear'' and ''{{wp|sparrow}}''. Its Japanese name can be taken to mean 鬼ドリル, demon drill, although it is worth noting that the first four syllables can be taken to mean 鬼鳥 ''onidori'', demon bird.

==In other languages==
*[[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Ibitak - From ''{{wp|Ibis}}'' and ''Attacke'' (attack).
*[[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Rapasdepic - From ''rapace'' (predatory) and ''piquer'' (to swoop). Effectively translates as "swooping predator".
*[[List of Korean Pokémon names|Korean]]: 깨비드릴조 ''Kkaebideuriljo''
* [[List of Chinese Pokémon names|Chinese (Taiwan)]]: 大嘴雀 ''Dài Zűi Qîao'' - Means "big-mouthed sparrow".
* [[List of Chinese Pokémon names|Chinese (Hong Kong)]]: 魔雀 ''Mó Que'' - Means "monster (or devil) sparrow".

'''Substitute''' (Japanese: '''みがわり''' ''Scapegoat'') is a non-damaging {{type2|Normal}} [[move]] introduced in [[Generation I]].

==Effect==
===Generation I===
Using 25% of its maximum [[HP]], the user creates a Substitute with 1 HP more than the amount of HP lost by the user. If the user's maximum HP is 3 or less, it will not lose any HP when the Substitute is made. A Substitute will have the same current type(s) and current stats of the Pokémon that created it.

Once created, all stat modifying attacks and side effects of attacks used by the opponent against the user will fail, though all current stat modifiers will remain in effect and any stat modifiers used by the user will also be applied to the Substitute. Until it breaks, a Substitute will absorb all damage done by the opponent (even if the damage done exceeds the remaining HP of the Substitute), but will not reduce the actual amount of damage that the opponent's attacks do. A one-hit KO move, if it hits, will always break a Substitute.

Substitute will not protect the user from self-inflicted [[status ailment]]s, but it will protect it from any status ailment generated by an opponent move and damage due to those status ailments.

Substitute will not alter the execution of {{m|Bide}}, {{m|Counter}}, {{m|Disable}}, {{m|Haze}}, {{m|Leech Seed}}, {{m|Super Fang}}, {{m|Transform}}, or partial trapping moves, and it will not absorb crash damage, recoil damage, or recurrent damage. However, a Substitute will absorb self-inflicted confusion damage and prevent the user from {{status|Flinch|flinching}}.

If a Pokémon breaks a Substitute with {{m|Hyper Beam}}, it will not need to recharge. If a Pokémon breaks a Substitute with {{m|Explosion}} or {{m|Selfdestruct}}, it will not faint, though its picture will no longer be visible until it switches out or uses Substitute. If a Pokémon breaks a Substitute with a recoil move, it will not take any recoil damage. If a Pokémon breaks a Substitute with a draining move, no HP will be restored to it. Note that in each of these cases, the Substitute has to be broken, not merely damaged, by the referenced attack.

If the user's current HP is less than 25% (rounded down) of its maximum HP, it will be too weak to make a Substitute. If the user's current HP is exactly equal to 25% (rounded down) of its maximum HP, faint upon creating the Substitute.

In Stadium, Substitute will protect the user from {{m|Absorb}}, {{m|Dream Eater}}, {{m|Leech Life}}, {{m|Leech Seed}}, {{m|Mega Drain}}, and all status ailments inflicted by the opponent. If the user's current HP is exactly equal to 25% (rounded down) of its maximum HP, it will be too weak to create a Substitute. If a Pokémon breaks a Substitute with {{m|Explosion}} or {{m|Selfdestruct}}, it will faint.

===Generation II and on===
The effects of Substitute are the same as the previous generation; however, if the user has a status ailment, they will still take any damage from that status ailment after they have used Substitute.

If the Substitute is broken by a target's {{m|Selfdestruct}} or {{m|Explosion}}, the user of that move will faint.

If the user of Substitute has 25% or less of its max HP (rounded down), or it only has a maximum of 1 HP, such as {{p|Shedinja}}, it will be unable to make a Substitute.

A Substitute can be {{m|Baton Pass}}ed, and can absorb damage due to partial-trapping moves.

==Trivia==
[[Image:SubFly.jpg|thumb|right|A Substitute "Levitating"]]
*In most games, the Substitute and the Pokémon will switch places when the Pokémon is attacking. The only exception is in Pokémon Battle Revolution, where the battle animations play out as if the Substitute was the one performing the attack. It generally remains stationary, except for when using moves like Fly or Bounce.
*Substitutes are interpreted differently throughout all forms of Pokémon canon. In the games, Substitutes are seen as a plush-like decoy which simply replaces the Pokémon. In the anime, Substitutes are seen to be exact clones of the user. In the manga, Substitutes are like the anime representation, but more spectral and transparent, as shown by [[Pika|Red's Pikachu]] in ''[[PS028|Peace of Mime]]''.
* {{p|Shedinja}} is capable of learning Substitute by both {{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}} [[move tutor]] as well as by [[TM90]] in [[Generation IV]] (as well as inheriting it from its pre-evolution). Despite this, it cannot use it, as its HP is too low to make a substitute.
*In the Generation I-II games the plush resembles the [[Pokémon]] {{p|Rhydon}}. In subsequent generations, the plush slightly resembles {{p|Tyranitar}}.
*In the Ystery Dungeon series, if the player eats an X-Eye Seed, all other Poke'mon appear as a Substitute.

'''Pikachu''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ピカチュウ''' ''Pikachu'') is an {{type2|Electric}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Pichu}} by [[happiness]], and evolves into {{p|Raichu}} when exposed to a {{evostone|Thunderstone}}.

Pikachu is popularly known as the mascot of the [[Pokémon]] franchise.

It is the [[version mascot]] of {{game|Yellow}}, where it is the only [[starter Pokémon]] in that game, and has made numerous appearences on the boxes of spin-off titles.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
A Pikachu is a short, chubby, ground-dwelling rodent notable for its Electric abilities. Pikachu have short, yellow fur with brown stripes on the back, black-tipped ears, along with an unusually shaped tail, resembling a lightning bolt. Besides its evolution and pre-evolution, it may be related to {{p|Plusle}}, {{p|Minun}}, and {{p|Pachirisu}}, due to notable physical similarities.

Pikachu are known to have acute senses of hearing, thanks to their large ears. Most domestic Pikachu are able to understand and interpret human speech at levels far surpassing those of any pet dog.

In ''[[DP074|Pika and Goliath!]]'', when [[Ash's Pikachu]] was injured, it was shown to have a heart rate of 156.
====Gender differences====
A female Pikachu has a small "dent" at the end of its tail that resembles a heart.

===Special abilities===
Exclusive to Pikachu is the ability to release electric {{m|discharge}}s of varying intensity, at will, through electric sacs in its cheeks. This electric energy can be manipulated into a variety of [[Moves|techniques]] which are mostly used in {{pkmn|battle}}, but which can be used to roast berries as well.

As Pikachu build up energy in their electricity glands, it often needs to discharge, as to not result in a short, or worse, which can lead to physical {{status|Paralysis|Paralysis}}, or in severe cases, death. Pikachu release the built-up energy through their tail, which acts as a grounding rod, to safely remove unneeded energy. A sure sign to tell if a location is inhabited by Pikachu is to look for patches of burnt grass, which is the result of the discharge. Through an inability to release a buildup of electricity, a Pikachu may develop a rare condition similar to the human flu. This illness is most often caused by strong nearby electro-magnetic forces, which severely impact the electric glands. If a Pikachu is introduced to a magnet, it will be attracted towards its cheeks, and display other common attributes of magnetism.

Pikachu and its evolution family, {{p|Pichu}} and {{p|Raichu}}, are the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] that can learn {{m|Volt Tackle}}. In a [[Pikachu variants#Surfing Pikachu|few rare cases]], Pikachu can learn to {{m|Rain Dance|manipulate}} {{t|Water}} and, with the help of a surfboard, perform the move {{m|Surf}}. [[Pikachu variants#Flying Pikachu|Other rare cases]] show that Pikachu can also learn, with the use of balloons, to perform the move {{m|Fly}}.

===Behavior===
In the wild, Pikachu often travel in packs, and are rarely territorial. However, when threatened, a group can generate an intense electrical offensive, and the electro-magnetic forces exerted by the resulting field can even produce a short lived, localized thunderstorm. Pikachu can be harmful pests, eating and sometimes destroying telephone poles, wires, and other electronic equipment.

Despite this, it is a popular pet, and relatively easy to maintain, with little exercise necessary for its well being. However, it is important to discharge the electricity in its cheeks periodically.

As many know, pulling on a Pikachu's tail will result in a severe shock to the offender. Another defense of Pikachu's is the use of its nasty {{m|Bite}} which has been known to leave quite a mark.

===Habitat===
[[File:Forest.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Forest Pokémon}}]]
They are found mostly in forests, but possibly because of their attraction to their electricity or simply because they are not afraid of people, Pikachu commonly show up in civilized areas. They may even enter houses, presumably attracted by the electrical output generated by the dwellers' appliances. Pikachu are native only to the [[Kanto]] region, although they have been introduced to many other regions.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}
Living in wooded areas, Pikachu often are found foraging for [[berry|berries]]. Instead of climbing trees, they use small electrical shocks to release the berries from the tree, roasting them at the same time.

As pets, they can be fed a variety of processed food. Alternatively, like most Pokémon, Pikachu are tolerant to most "human" foods, and sometimes enjoy them more than the more nutritional food designed for their biology. An example of this is the fact that [[Ash's Pikachu]] has been known to have a fondness of ketchup, probably due to to the fact that Ash's last name, Ketchum, sounds like a mix of catch 'em of "gotta catch 'em all" and ketchup.

==In the anime==
[[File:Ash_Pikachu_HD.png|thumb|Pikachu in the anime]]
===Major appearances===
====[[Ash's Pikachu]]====
[[Ash Ketchum]] has a Pikachu that he [[Starter Pokémon|obtained]] from [[Professor Oak]] in ''[[EP001|Pokémon - I Choose You!]]'', the first episode of the Pokémon anime series. It has appeared in every non-special episode and every Pokémon movie since.

Ash was given the opportunity to release Pikachu in ''[[EP039|Pikachu's Goodbye]]'', though Pikachu chose to stay with him. This episode also featured many other wild Pikachu.

A Pikachu named Sugar belonging to the owners of a restaurant went missing prior to ''[[DP024|Cooking up a Sweet Story!]]'', and Ash's Pikachu had to fill in for it so that its owner would have the confidence to win a cooking competition. At the end of the episode, the Pikachu returns, however, it has evolved into a {{p|Raichu}}.

====[[Sparky|Ritchie's Pikachu]]====
[[Ritchie]] also has a Pikachu nicknamed [[Sparky]], who debuted in ''[[EP078|A Friend In Deed]]''. Sparky, unlike most Pikachu, has a tuft of fur on the top of its head.

====[[Ashachu]]====
Ash gets turned into a Pikachu in ''[[EP241|Hocus Pokémon]]'' by a Pokémon magician named {{Jo|Lily}}. He reverts to his human form at the beginning of [[EP242|the next episode]].

====Other====
At least 20 other Pikachu appeared in ''[[EP002|Pokémon Emergency!]]'' to help Ash's Pikachu defeat [[Team Rocket]]'s [[Jessie]], [[James]], and {{MTR}} to send them blasting off for the first time.

Another Pikachu nicknamed '''[[Puka]]''' was owned by a man named {{ka|Victor}} on [[Seafoam Islands|Seafoam Island]] in ''[[EP067|The Pi-Kahuna]]''. This blue-eyed Pikachu had the ability to sense tidal waves approaching.

A Pikachu has also been owned by [[Luana]]'s son, [[Travis]]. Luana mistook Ash for Travis when she saw Pikachu on Ash's shoulder.

In ''[[AG086|Lights, Camerupt, Action]]'', [[Elijah]] used a Pikachu in one of his movies. This Pikachu helped {{p|Plusle}} and {{p|Minun}} on their mission to rescue Princess {{p|Kirlia}} from the evil {{p|Exploud}}.

In ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'', {{an|Mewtwo}} clones Ash's Pikachu. This Pikachu can be told apart from Ash's due to spikes on the black marks at the tips of its ears. It is also comparatively more aggressive than Ash's Pikachu and slurs its speech, defects possibly caused by Ash tampering with Mewtwo's cloning machine during the cloning process.

A Pikachu also had a part in ''[[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Team Go-Getters out of the Gate!]]''. He was kidnapped by a {{p|Skarmory}} and Team Go-Getters set out to rescue him as their first mission. Pikachu provided them with some items in the battle.

===Minor appearances===
Aside from Ash's Pikachu, Pokémon of this species, wild and Trainers' alike, are rarely seen in the anime. This is most likely due to the fact that Ash's Pikachu is seen in every episode.

[[James]] used a Pikachu in the Pokémon League Entrance Exam in ''[[EP056|The Ultimate Test]]'', but it was defeated by the instructor's {{p|Graveler}}. James, after interfering with a battle {{Ash}} was having with the instructor, later tried to steal this Pikachu, only for that Pikachu to zap James instead, as instructed by its instructor.

A Pikachu belonging to an unnamed Aura Guardian appeared in a flashback in ''[[DP056|The Keystone Pops!]]''.

==In the manga==
[[Electric Tale of Pikachu]] prominently features a Pikachu.

A {{MPJ|Pikachu}} is one of the main characters in [[Magical Pokémon Journey]].

A more mouse-like {{TP|Isamu Akai|Pikachu}} that communicates through pantomime is one of [[Isamu Akai]]'s Pokémon in {{OBP|Pocket Monsters|manga}}.

{{Zensho|Satoshi}} has a Pikachu as one of the members of his team in [[Pokémon Zensho]]. It later evolves into a {{p|Raichu}}.

[[Shū]]'s first Pokémon was a {{OBP|Pikachu|Get da ze!}} he found abandoned in the forest in [[Pokémon Get da ze!]].

Ash's Pikachu was the main character in the short-lived [[Pokémon Newspaper Strip]].

A story called "Akari and Pikachu's Birthday" is featured in the final volume of [[How I Became a Pokémon Card]].

In [[Pokémon Gold & Silver: The Golden Boys|Golden Boys]], {{OBP|Gold|Golden Boys}} was in possession of a Pikachu, which ended up being [[Eusine]]'s.

A Pikachu makes a cameo in [[Pokémon Battle Frontier]] during one of the battles. Also, a photo album owned by {{FB|Salon Maiden|Anabel}} has a Pikachu on the cover.
===Pokémon Adventures===
[[File:PSPikachu.jpg|thumb|right|Pikachu in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
Pikachu debuted in its own round in the {{chap|Red, Green & Blue}}, ''[[PS004|Wanted: Pikachu!]]''. Here, a [[Pika|Pikachu]] was stealing all the crops in a town. The townsfolk kept chasing it around, but end up getting shocked by it. {{adv|Red}} arrives and captures it, ending the chaos.

In the ninth volume, {{adv|Yellow}} is seen to have a new addition to her team: a [[Chuchu|Pikachu]] she had found injured in the [[Viridian Forest]] and nursed back to health. When Pika is left behind by Red on his trip to [[Mt. Silver]], Pika joins Yellow and Chuchu on their trip to Johto.

Pika and Chuchu share a loving relationship, one that is so strong that even [[Jasmine]] noticed, prompting her to hand Yellow a slip with the Pokémon Daycare's address on it. In Volume 13, after Yellow and Wilton are brought to the Daycare after being shipwrecked, Yellow finds that Pika and Chuchu now have an egg shortly after they were "put together." The egg eventually hatches into {{adv|Gold}}'s Pichu.

Wild Pikachu also appeared in the R/S and D/P sagas.

==In the TCG==
{{main|Pikachu (TCG)}}
Pikachu somehow manages to find its way into many of the expansions, causing there to be {{PAGESINCATEGORY:Pikachu (TCG)}} known non-reprint Pokémon cards featuring Pikachu. There are also various Trainer cards with Pikachu in the card's artwork too, including the very sought-after tournament promos such as {{OBP|No.1 Trainer|Tournament promo}}.

The first Pikachu that appeared in the TCG was {{TCG ID|Base Set|Pikachu|58}} in the {{TCG|Base Set}} (which was reprinted in {{TCG|Base Set 2}} and in {{TCG|POP Series 2}} with different artwork). It was followed in {{TCG|Jungle|the next set}} by another {{TCG ID|Jungle|Pikachu|60}} (which was also reprinted in the {{TCG|Legendary Collection}}). The third Pikachu card released was the first-ever English {{TCG|Wizards Black Star Promos|promo card}}, {{TCG ID|Wizards Promo|Pikachu|1}}. The original Base Set Pikachu was also released as a special promotional card at {{wp|E3}}.

In the early days of the TCG, several notable errors were made regarding the Pikachu cards. The Base Set Pikachu was released with altered artwork at first, depicting it with red cheeks, instead of the original yellow. While this matched [[Ken Sugimori]]'s artwork, the yellow color on its cheeks was intentional by the artist, who depicted Pikachu using {{m|ThunderShock}}. This error appeared in both the E3 promotional version and the normal Base Set release. A second error was made in the production of Jungle set booster packs, which, instead of the Jungle set's Pikachu, contained, at times, first edition versions of the Pikachu that was released as a promo card.

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

==Other appearances==
===[[Super Smash Bros.]]===
Pikachu is a playable character and the only Pokémon that is playable from the start of the game. Its main stage is [[Saffron City]].

In the hands of a skilled player, Pikachu is not to be taken lightly. Alongside electrical attacks, it has very good aerial attacks and superb recovery. Because of this, top-level SSB players have placed Pikachu at the top of their list, theoretically making it the best character in the game.

{{SmashMoves|type=Electric|game=Smash|Spe=Thunder Jolt|SpeU=Quick Attack|SpeUM=yes|SpeD=Thunder|SpeDM=yes}}

===[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]===
Pikachu is a returning playable character and the only Pokémon that is playable from the start of the game. Its main stage is [[Pokémon Stadium (stage)|Kanto: Pokémon Stadium]].

While Pikachu's play style remained the same, it was powered down in the sequel. The tier lists for Melee place Pikachu in either the Middle or Low tier.

{{SmashMoves|type=Electric|game=Melee|Spe=Thunder Jolt|SpeS=Skull Bash|SpeSM=yes|SpeU=Quick Attack|SpeUM=yes|SpeD=Thunder|SpeDM=yes}}

====Trophy information====
=====Classic Mode=====
It's safe to say that Pikachu is the most famous and popular of all Pokémon. It has electric pouches in both cheeks; when in danger, it shoots electricity at its enemies. Although Pikachu can evolve into Raichu by exposure to a Thunderstone, many Trainers like Pikachu so much that they don't let it evolve.

=====Adventure Mode=====
While its electrical attacks, such as {{m|Thunder}} and Thunder Jolt, are powerful, Pikachu is at its best speeding around the fray and waiting for its chance to strike. You can control the path of Pikachu's two-directional {{m|Quick Attack}}, allowing you to jump twice. Hold down the B Button to charge up {{m|Skull Bash}}.

=====All-Star Mode=====
The angle of the Control Stick controls the direction of Pikachu's Quick Attack. Pikachu will move blindingly fast, and it will also cause damage to any character it runs into. Move the Control Stick during Quick Attack and Pikachu will move in up to two directions. Be sure to check out the ceilings on the level when you use Thunder.

===[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]===
[[File:Pikachu_Brawl.jpg|140px|thumb|right|Pikachu in Brawl]]
Pikachu is a returning playable character to the franchise. Its Final Smash move is {{m|Volt Tackle}}.
It has different designs for hats including Red's hat from {{game|Red and Blue|s}}.

{{SmashMoves|type=Electric|game=Brawl|Spe=Thunder Jolt|SpeS=Skull Bash|SpeSM=yes|SpeU=Quick Attack|SpeUM=yes|SpeD=Thunder|SpeDM=yes|FS=Volt Tackle|FSM=yes}}

====Subspace Emissary====
Pikachu is first seen in the "Research Facility" stage where it is being used to power a generator. Responding to its shrieks of pain, {{wp|Samus Aran|Zero Suit Samus}} saves it by destroying the generator. The two then face a group of {{wp|R.O.B}} Sentries. Pikachu then joins Samus to search for her stolen power suit. The suit is soon recovered and then are soon confronted by {{wp|Metroid (series)#Recurring characters|Ridley}}. He grabs Samus and begins dragging her across the walls. It is now that Pikachu returns the favor as it zaps Ridley with a powerful Thunder attack. After, Pikachu can be used to battle the final boss.

====[[wp:Metal Gear|Codec]] information (on Shadow Moses Island)====
*'''[[wp:List of recurring Metal Gear characters#Mei Ling|Mei Ling]]:''' ''"Ooh! How cuute!"''
*'''{{wp|Solid Snake}}:''' ''"What? The [[List of Pokémon by color#Yellow|yellow thing]]?"''
*'''Mei Ling:''' ''"That's Pikachu. It's a [[List of Pokémon by National Pokédex number|Pokémon]]. They're popular all over the {{pkmn|world}}, you know. And it may look cute, but be careful. It can store large amounts of {{t|electric}}ity in those adorable little cheeks. It'll try to pepper you with [[Pikachu (Pokémon)#Smash Bros.-only moves|electric shocks]]."''
*'''Solid Snake:''' ''"Couldn't be much worse than [[wp:Ocelot (Metal Gear)|Ocelot's]] old torture device..."''
*'''Mei Ling:''' ''"Oh, and, Snake?"''
*'''Solid Snake:''' ''"What?"''
*'''Mei Ling:''' ''"I was wondering, could you maybe try and {{pkmn2|caught|catch}} Pikachu for me? Pleeeeease?"''
*'''Solid Snake:''' ''"Give me a break! What do I look like, a [[Pokémon Trainer]]?"''
*'''Mei Ling:''' ''"Fine... Sorry I asked."''

====Trophy information====
''"A Mouse Pokémon. Its lightning-bolt tail and round cheeks are its trademarks. When danger draws near, it uses tiny electric pouches within its cheeks to discharge electricity. When it's really fired up, it unleashes thunderbolts on its rivals. It's said to recharge when it's {{status|Sleep|sleeping}}. It evolves into {{p|Raichu}}."''

==Game data==
===NPC appearances===

* [[Pokémon Stadium 2]]: Pikachu can be used in "Pichu's Power Plant" if one is detected in a Transferred Pokémon game.
* [[Pokémon Pinball]]: Pikachu serves as a Ball-Saver, but it will only work if the Lightning Meter is full.

====Smash Bros.-only moves====
'''Thunder Jolt''' (Japanese: '''でんげき''' ''Electric Attack'') is {{p|Pikachu}}'s standard special move in all three ''Smash Bros.'' games. When used, Pikachu will release a small, blue bolt that slowly jumps across the platform. It can also turn around at some corners.

When used in midair, Pikachu will instead make a white ball that will travel in a downward diagonal line until it reaches a platform. In ''Brawl'', there is a purple sphere around the white ball.

==Trivia==
* The "secret" move for Pikachu's evolution line, {{m|Volt Tackle}}, is actually based on (and in the Japanese version, named after) {{wp|Pulseman}}'s signature move, Voltteccer. To get this move, a {{p|Pichu}} must be bred from a parent Pikachu or {{p|Raichu}} holding a [[Light Ball]], though this can only happen in {{game|Emerald}} and on.
** A Pikachu knowing Surf and Volt Tackle can be obtained from [[Pokémon Battle Revolution]] by defeating [[Stargazer Colosseum]] for the first time.
* Pikachu is the smallest, lightest, and the weakest [[version mascot]], likely owing to the fact that it is neither fully evolved nor legendary, unlike the rest.
* There is a Pikachu balloon with glowing cheeks in the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade.
* In the games, Pikachu is the first Pokémon to have its [[cry]] changed to that of its anime counterpart. This only happened in {{game|Yellow}}. [[Junichi Masuda]] details the modification of [[Ikue Ohtani]]'s voice to a sound capable of being made by the low-tech [[Game Boy]] in his [http://www.gamefreak.co.jp/blog/dir_english/?p=144 Director's Column]. In some parts of the game, though, Pikachu's original cry was used.
* Pikachu is in all six regional [[Pokédex]]es, though it is only known to be native to Kanto. It is imported from Kanto to Hoenn's Safari Zone and Mr. Backlot's house in Sinnoh. However, it may also be native to Fiore and/or Almia, as their presence there is unexplained.
* Pikachu is the first {{type2|Electric}} Pokémon in [[National Pokédex]] order.
* Pikachu is one of fourteen Pokémon that one can collect [[Meister|foreign Pokédex entries]] for in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}.
* Pikachu and {{p|Raichu}} share the same [[species]] name with {{p|Rattata}}, {{p|Raticate}}, {{p|Sandshrew}}, and {{p|Sandslash}}. They are all known as Mouse Pokémon, though Rattata and Raticate have also been called the Rat Pokémon.
* On {{ga|Red}}'s final team in [[Mt. Silver]] at the end of the [[Generation II]] games, Pikachu was the highest leveled Pokémon to be faced in any Pokémon game, excluding the [[Pokémon Stadium series|Stadium]]/{{pkmn|Colosseum}}/{{pkmn|Battle Revolution}} series and the [[Battle Tower]]/[[Battle Frontier]], at level 81. This places it one level higher than the wild {{p|Arceus}} that appears at the [[Hall of Origin]]. In {{game|Platinum}}, {{ga|Barry}}'s final party includes several members that are higher leveled than {{ga|Red's Pikachu}}, and higher-level {{p|Magikarp}} can be found in the [[Resort Area]]'s pond. However, with the advent of {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, Red's Pikachu is once more the highest leveled trained Pokémon, at level 88, and highest leveled Pokémon after the Magikarp from the Resort Area and discounting Battle Frontier-esque facilities and games as noted above.
* Pikachu is the first Pokémon in the National Pokédex listing to have a {{pkmn2|baby}} relative.
** This also makes it the first Pokémon in National Pokédex order to be related to a Pokémon of another generation.
* Pikachu is also the first Pokémon in National Pokédex order that evolves by way of an [[evolutionary stone]].
* Pikachu is the only Pokémon included in the [[Pokémon Stadium (Japanese)|original Pokémon Stadium]] that was {{p|Raichu|capable of evolving further}} when the game was released. Strangely, Raichu was excluded from the said game.
* Pikachu is the only starter Pokémon which cannot be evolved in the game that it is the starter for.
** Pikachu is also the only [[main series]] [[starter Pokémon]] that does not have a 7:1 male to female gender ratio.
*In 2008, Japanese researchers discovered a new protein which helps carry electrical impulses from the eyes to the brain and named it {{wp|Pikachurin}}. They based themselves on Pikachu for the choice of the name because they noticed that both Pikachu and the protein have amazing speed and agility.
* Pikachu has appeared in every non-special episode, as well as in every Pokémon movie.
* In {{game|Red and Blue|s}}, Pikachu's sprite shows it having a yellow stomach pouch. This is never shown again in later generations.
* In {{wp|The Simpsons}} episode 294, Bart begins to hallucinate from watching to much TV and is lifted up and sung {{wp|Hava Nagila}} to by several television characters he had seen while watching, one of them being Pikachu. Also, the {{wp|couch gag}} in episode 320 depicts the family as popular anime characters, Maggie is shown as Pikachu.
* Pikachu is the 'guest star' the the third internet webisode of {{wp|The Critic}}.
* In the third season of {{wp|Heroes}}, {{wp|Hiro Nakamura}} is nicknamed 'Pikachu' by {{wp|Daphne Millbrook}}.

===Origin===
Pikachu has physical aspects resembling several species of {{wp|rodent}}s, such as mice.
====Name origin====
Pikachu is a combination of ピカピカ ''pikapika'' which is Japanese onomatopoeia for sparkle and チューチュー ''chūchū'' which is the sound of squeaking. It may be named after the {{wp|pika}}, a lagomorph, but this is less likely. "Pika" also means "quick" in {{wp|Finnish}}.

'''Magnezone''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ジバコイル''' ''Jibacoil'') is a dual-type {{2t|Electric|Steel}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Magneton}} via [[level]]-up in [[Mt. Coronet]]. It is the final form of {{p|Magnemite}}.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Magnezone is the result of Magneton leveling up in the presence of a special magnetic field that has only been discovered at [[Mt. Coronet]]. The center {{p|Magnemite}} of {{p|Magneton}} has grown bigger and more oval-shaped than the other two upon evolution. The middle Magnemite also has a red pupil in its eye instead of a black one and a yellow antenna on top of it. Magnezone as a whole is a darker color gray than its pre-evolutions, surrounded by a thin, metal rim and two dark-gray horse-shoe magnets that are positioned to look like metal claws. There is also a third horse-shoe magnet on the back of the middle Magnemite that is positioned like a tail. Unlike Magnemite and Magneton, Magnezone has been recognized as an {{2t|Electric|Steel}} Pokémon ever since it was discovered. Even though Magnezone and its pre-evolutions are seemingly-mechanical creatures, they still have emotions, the need to eat, and some way of reproducing. Magnezone could possibly be related to {{p|Metagross}}, who is also a half Steel-type Pokémon that floats by using electromagnetic waves.

====Gender differences====
Magnezone is genderless.

====Special abilities====
Magnezone use the same moves that Magnemite and Magneton can learn, except that its attacks are stronger than Magnemite and Magneton. However, Magnezone is slower than its previous evolution, most likely due to the added weight. Magnezone is also the only member of its evolutionary line that can learn {{m|Barrier}} and {{m|Mirror Coat}}.

===Behavior===

If frightened, Magnezone will discharge electricity uncontrollably.

===Habitat===
Magnezone can sometimes be found living in power plants, but they are significantly rarer than either {{p|Magnemite}} or {{p|Magneton}}. Sometimes, Magnezone take up permanent residence at [[Mt. Coronet]], but they are still significantly hard to find.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

Magnezone feed off of electrical charges.

==In the anime==
[[File:Magnezone anime.png|thumb|250px|Magnezone in the anime]]
===Major appearances===
Magnezone made its debut in the movie ''[[M11|Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]'' under the ownership of the main antagonist, [[Zero]]. Despite Zero's maniacal behavior, Magnezone was very loyal to him. Magnezone generally acted as a leader to the {{p|Magnemite}}/{{p|Magneton}} army.

A wild Magnezone appeared in [[DP158]], where it battled non-stop with a {{p|Metagross}}. These two Pokémon normally battled with each other on a regular basis until their "battle arena" (a deep crater) became filled with water. Because their crater was no longer usable, they took their battle to the streets of a nearby town, and continued fighting, causing much collateral damage.

===Minor appearances===

==In the manga==
===In [[Pokémon Adventures]]===
[[Cyrus]] took his {{p|Magneton}} to [[Mt. Coronet]] to evolve it. He ordered it and his {{p|Nosepass}} to attack {{adv|Diamond}}, {{adv|Pearl}}, and {{adv|Platinum}}; as they attacked, they evolved into Magnezone and {{p|Probopass}}, respectively.

==In the TCG==

==Trivia==
* Magnezone and its evolutionary line have twelve resistances and one immunity, making them the most resistant Pokémon to date. With the addition of {{m|Magnet Rise}}, which makes them immune to {{type2|Ground}} attacks for a short period of time, their only double weakness is negated.
* Magnezone's [[Ken Sugimori|Sugimori]] artwork and in-game menu sprite show that the poles of its magnets are red and blue, but in its {{v2|Diamond and Pearl|s}} sprite and in its anime appearances, none of its magnets have color on the end.
** In {{game|Platinum}} this oversight was corrected. The blue in its sprite is deeper than in the art and on its pre-evolutions, however.
** As seen in the [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon]] games, Magnezone may have the capability to "turn on and off" the colors.
* Magnezone and its pre-evolution {{p|Magneton}} have National Pokédex numbers that differ by 380, more than any other two Pokémon related by evolution.
* Magnezone has the highest {{stat|Special Attack}} of any {{type2|Electric}} Pokémon, and highest Special Attack of any non-legendary {{type2|Steel}} Pokémon.
* Magnezone loses the ability to learn {{m|Tri Attack}} upon evolution. This references the fact that the Magnemite were exposed to magnetic waves causing them to fuse, rather than all three of them working together.
* Magnezone and its pre-evolved forms are the only {{type2|Electric}} Pokémon to learn Zap Cannon naturally.
* Magnezone's role in Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness is often thought to be a reference to {{wp|Robocop}}.

===Origin===
Magnezone is based on the concept of a living magnet that bears a resemblance to a {{wp|flying saucer}} or a {{wp|UFO}}.

====Name origin====
Magnezone is derived from a shortening and portmanteau of "magnetic zone", an alternative name for a magnetic field. Jibacoil's name is from 磁場 ''jiba'', the Japanese word for magnetic field, and the ''coil'' part refers to an electro-magnetic coil.

===Major appearances===
====[[Gary's Arcanine]]====
[[Gary Oak]] has an Arcanine. The first time it was seen was in ''[[EP063|The Battle of the Badge]]'' battling [[Giovanni]]. He used it again to battle {{Ash}} and his {{AP|Bayleef}} in ''[[EP228|Extreme Pokémon!]]''.

[[File:Arcanine-anime.jpg|right|thumb|Arcanine in the anime]]

====Other====
Arcanine and its pre-evolution, {{p|Growlithe}}, have often been seen being used as [[Officer Jenny's Growlithe|police dogs]].

{{Ash}} battled an Arcanine in ''[[EP076|Fire and Ice]]''. This Arcanine was under the ownership of [[Pete Pebbleman]] and was his final Pokémon. Despite the type disadvantage, Pete's Arcanine easily defeated [[Ash's Kingler]] by dodging its {{m|Bubble}} attack and using {{m|Dragon Rage}}. {{AP|Pikachu}} managed to defeat the Arcanine with a {{m|Thunderbolt}} attack after the Ice Field melted due to Arcanine's {{m|Fire Blast}}.

In ''[[EP190|The Stolen Stones]]'', two Trainers named [[Ramona]] and [[Keegan]] had three Arcanine, one under the ownership of Keegan and two under his sister Ramona. They were using the {{type2|Fire}} Pokémon to deliver some {{evosto|Fire}}s to be used as prizes for a local Fire-Pokémon tournament. The two Trainers used their Arcanine to save Ash, [[Misty]] and [[Brock]] from falling off a cliff.

In ''[[AG139|On Cloud Arcanine]]'', [[Drew]] and {{an|May}} wanted to capture an Arcanine for using in a [[Pokémon Contest]]. When it was discovered that the Pokémon had a litter of {{p|Growlithe}} puppies to take care of, the two rivals decided to leave Arcanine alone.

In ''[[AG153|Tactics Theatrics!!]]'', {{FB|Dome Ace|Tucker}} used an Arcanine and a {{p|Swampert}} to {{pkmn|battle}} against [[Ash's Swellow]] and {{AP|Corphish}}.

===Minor appearances===
In ''[[DP020|Mutiny in the Bounty!]]'', [[Officer Jenny]] used an Arcanine to track down [[J|Pokémon Hunter J]].

An Arcanine appeared in ''[[DP086|Arriving in Style!]]''.

As explained in a flashback in {{PAV|11}}, Arcanine was a [[wild Pokémon]] from [[Mt. Mortar]] whose left eye was injured five years ago.

==Trivia==
* Arcanine originally had the name "Blaze."
* Arcanine is the only Pokémon with a stat total of 555.
** Arcanine has the highest base stats of any Pokémon that has only evolved once.
* Arcanine has the second-highest base stat average of any non-legendary and non-[[pseudo-legendary]] Pokémon, next to {{p|Slaking}}.
* Arcanine's Pokédex entry for Pokémon Yellow connects the Pokémon world with our own. It says "A legendary Pokémon in {{wp|China}}. Many people are charmed by its grace and beauty while running."
* In [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon]], it describes itself as having a speed that no one can match, but it is tied at the 68th fastest Pokémon with 20 others.
*Although its species is the Legendary Pokémon, it is not a true [[Legendary Pokémon|legendary]], and is not even considered a [[pseudo-legendary]].

===Origin===
Arcanine is based on the Ryukyuan {{wp|Shisa|シーサー ''shisa''}}, or ''koma-inu''. They are mythical creatures that take inspiration from lions, tigers, and dogs. Statues of them in pairs are used as guardians and to invite good luck. It could also be based on the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haetae Haetae], a mythical fire-eating dog with similarities to lions and tigers.

===Name origin===
Arcanine's name is a combination of ''arcane'', meaning mysterious, and ''{{wp|canine}}'', meaning dog. Windie may refer to wind, because this Pokémon runs like a wind as if it was flying and at great speed.

'''Charizard''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''リザードン''' ''Rizaadon'') is a dual-type {{2t|Fire|Flying}} Pokémon.

Charizard comes with the [[ability]] {{a|Blaze}}, which increases the power of Fire-type attacks by 50% once the Pokémon has less than one-third of its maximum [[HP]].

Charizard [[evolve]]s from {{p|Charmeleon}} starting at [[Level]] 36.

Charizard is the [[version mascot]] of [[Pokémon Red and Blue Versions|Pokémon Red]] and [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions|FireRed]] Versions. It also makes an appearance on the [[Pokémon Ranger]] and [[Pokémon Stadium (English)|Pokémon Stadium]] boxarts.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Unlike its pre-evolution cousins, it has powerful wings that can allow it to {{m|fly}} at blinding speeds, although the faster it flies, the more strain is put on the Pokémon, and it must rest for a good while after doing so. It is also more vulnerable to attacks the more outspread its wings are, so its newfound flying ability should be treated with as much care as a flying Pokémon. It has a considerably higher defense than its cousins, though as noted before caution should be used about its wings, which have little defense. Its physical strength now matches the strength of its fire attacks, and it can withstand mid-high altitude pressure, allowing it to fly above mountains, and can even withstand the high pressure and extreme heat of volcanoes.
====Gender differences====
None.
===Special abilities===
Because of the wings it has grown, Charizard can {{M|fly}} and can use many other {{Type2|Flying}} abilities. As its pre-evolutions could, it can use {{type2|Fire}} moves.

===Behavior===
Generally, a Charizard will be competitive. It loves to battle and spend a great amount of time training or looking for opponents. Its competitive spirit is also noteworthy, since it will never spit flames at a weaker foe. When it gets very angered, the flames on its tail become a blueish-white color. It spits fire that is hot enough to melt boulders. It is known to have unintentionally caused massive forest fires. The more experienced a Charizard, the more intense its tail flame and breath are.

===Habitat===
[[Image:Mountain.gif|right|frame|[[List of Pokémon by habitat#Mountain Pokémon|Mountain Pokémon]]]]
Charizard is mercifully rare in the wild; however, there is [[Charicific Valley|a valley]] somewhere in [[Johto]] wherein many Charizard reside. Charizard also inhabit craggy mountains and active volcanoes.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

==In the anime==
[[Image:AG136 022.jpeg|frame|left|Ash's Charizard using {{m|DragonBreath}}.]]
[[Ash Ketchum]] has a {{AP|Charizard}} that he obtained as a Charmander in ''[[EP011|Charmander the Stray Pokémon]]''. It evolved into Charmeleon in ''[[EP043|March of the Exeggutor Squad]]'' and quickly evolved again into Charizard in ''[[EP046|Attack of the Prehistoric Pokémon]]''. From the time of its becoming Charmeleon to the [[Orange Islands]] episode ''[[EP105|Charizard Chills]]'', Charizard refused to obey Ash. After ''Charizard Chills'', however, it became one of Ash's strongest Pokémon, perhaps even stronger than {{AP|Pikachu}}. Ash left Charizard in the [[Charicific Valley]] with {{jo|Liza}} in ''[[EP134|Charizard's Burning Ambition]]''. It has returned to visit and battle for him on several occasions since then, however.

When [[James]] was in the Pokémon League Entrance Exam in ''[[EP056|The Ultimate Test]]'', he used a Charizard that he eventually tried to steal.

A Charizard was used by Team Rocket in a battle against [[Ash's Totodile]] as part of an elaborate plan to capture Pikachu in ''[[EP248|One Trick Phony!]]''.
[[Image:JnJCharizardAggron.jpg|thumb|right|Jessie and James with their {{TP|Jessie|Charizard}} and {{TP|James|Aggron}}.]]
A trainer used a Charizard in the {{to|Verdanturf}} [[Pokémon Contest]] in ''[[AG051|Come What May]]''.

In ''[[H017|Those Darn Electabuzz]]'', {{an|Casey}} had to help Corey Demario and his Charizard named Don get their fighting spirit back so that Corey could start pitching for The Electabuzz Baseball Team.

[[Clark]] used a Charizard and {{p|Quilava}} against [[Ash's Grovyle]] and {{AP|Glalie}} in ''[[AG128|Shocks and Bonds]]''. Clark's Charizard defeated Ash's Grovyle and lost to Ash's Glalie.

In ''[[AG176|Grating Spaces]]'', {{OBP|Delibird|Team Rocket}} gave [[Jessie]] and [[James]] a Charizard and {{p|Aggron}}, with Jessie getting {{TP|Jessie|Charizard}} and James getting {{TP|James|Aggron}}, respectively. However, Delibird took the two Pokémon away at the end of the episode as the Charizard and Aggron were meant for [[Cassidy]] and [[Butch]].

==In the manga==
In [[Pokémon Special]], one of {{Special|Green}}'s main Pokémon is a Charizard, evolved from his {{p|Charmander}}. [[Dome Ace Tucker|Tucker]] also has a Charizard in the [[Battle Frontier]] storyline.

In [[Electric Tale of Pikachu]], [[Ritchie]] has [[Zippo|a Charizard]], which he pitted against Ash's Charizard in their battle in the [[Indigo League]].

In [[Pocket Monsters Emerald: Challenge!! Battle Frontier]], [[Rald]], the main character's mentor has a Charizard.

In [[Pokémon Zensho]], [[Satoshi (Zensho)|Satoshi]] has a Charizard that was originally a Charmander he received from Professor Oak.

==In the TCG==
{{main|Charizard (TCG)}}
Charizard's [[Charizard (Base Set 4)|first-released TCG card]], which as part of the {{TCG|Base Set}}, was widely regarded at the height of popularity of Pokémon as the best card ever. This was because of its powerful attack, Fire Spin, and useful Pokémon Power, Energy Burn, which allowed it to convert any Energy attached to it to {{TCG|Fire}} Energy. {{m|Fire Spin}} needed four Fire Energy and could deal 100 damage, knocking out the majority of Pokémon cards. Individual Charizard cards were sold up to as much as $150. This Charizard card was reprinted in [[Wizards of the Coast]]'s {{TCG|Base Set 2}} and {{TCG|Legendary Collection}} sets, and rereleased in the {{TCG|Intense Fight in the Destroyed Sky}} expansion.

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

==Other appearances==
[[Image:Charizard Rock Smash.jpg|right|thumb|[[Red (game)|Pokémon Trainer]] commanding Charizard to use {{m|Rock Smash}} in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]].]]
===[[Super Smash Bros.]]/[[Super Smash Bros. Melee|Melee]]/[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl|Brawl]]===
Charizard makes an appearance as a Pokémon released randomly from a [[Poké Ball]]. When summoned, Charizard will utilize {{m|Flamethrower}} alternating between the left and right. In Melee, the flames have more of a downward angle.

Charizard is a playable Pokémon used by {{ga|Red|Pokémon Trainer}} in the third game in the series, Brawl. It can use {{m|Flamethrower}} and {{m|Rock Smash}}. It also uses {{m|Fly}} and has the ability to glide. Charizard is a Heavyweight and attacks with various physical attacks. It uses {{m|Fire Blast}} in Pokémon Trainer's Final Smash, [[Final Smash#Triple Finish|Triple Finish]].

====Melee trophy information====
It's hard to believe, but this massive Flame Pokémon evolves from the tiny Charmander. Not only can it fly at heights of over 4,500 feet, but its flaming breath is hot enough to reduce almost anything to ashes in seconds. The flames at the end of a Charizard's tail are said to be a fairly accurate barometer of its power.

====Brawl trophy information====
A Flame Pokémon. Its fiery breath is hot enough to burn up rocks, and its wings let it fly up to 4,600 feet into the air. It's a proud Pokémon that will never use its flame breath on an opponent weaker than itself. The flame on its tail is a barometer of how much vitality it has remaining. Its signature move, Flamethrower, is a reliable technique.

==Trivia==
* Even though Charizard is supposed to evolve from {{p|Charmeleon}} through leveling up, in [[Pokémon Snap]], a Charmeleon evolves by falling into a pit of lava. This may be due to the fact that Snap based more on the anime than the handheld games.
* Charizard is the only evolution of a [[starter Pokémon]] that can learn {{m|Fly}} through [[HM02]], but it can't in Red and Blue. This was changed starting with Yellow, making it possible to still get a Charizard with Fly in the original games, by trading one from a later version.
* Charizard has the same cry as {{p|Rhyhorn}}.
* Charizard has the same base stats as {{p|Typhlosion}}.
* Charizard is the first {{t|Flying}} Pokémon in [[National Dex]] order.
* Charizard is the only non-legendary Pokémon that is a dual-type {{2t|Fire|Flying}} Pokémon. The other known Pokémon with this combination are {{p|Moltres}} and {{p|Ho-Oh}}, both of which are legendary Pokémon and that resemble a phoenix.
* Charizard shares the same [[species]] name as {{p|Charmeleon}}, {{p|Flareon}}, {{p|Moltres}}, and {{p|Infernape}}. They are all known as Flame Pokémon.
* Charizards shiny form is commonly mistaken for black, but a shiny Charizard action figure confirmed it to be blue. Also, Charizard is of a few Pokémon whose shiny form is of a vastly different palette from its previous forms. In this case, Charmander's and Charmeleon's shiny form are golden while Charizard's shiny form is a deep navy blue.
* Charizard and its pre-evolutions are similar to the Pokémon {{p|Bagon}}, {{p|Shelgon}}, and {{p|Salamence}}, as both evolutionary lines end with the final being able to {{m|fly}} and being more draconic.
* Charizard is the first Pokémon in National Dex order to have a double weakness to a certain type, namely {{type2|Rock}}.
* Charizard, together with {{p|Gyarados}}, resembles a dragon, even though it is not a {{type2|Dragon}}.
* Charizard is the only non {{type2|Dragon}} to learn {{m|Dragon Claw}} by level-up.
===Origin===
Charizard resembles the {{wp|European dragon}}, which had many forms in the legends that described it. Although it is a {{type2|Fire}} Pokémon, it can learn {{type2|Dragon}} attacks, such as {{m|Dragon Rage}}.

====Name origin====
Charizard's name is a combination of the words ''char'', to burn, and ''lizard''. ''Lizardon'', on the other hand, is a combination of ''lizard'' and ''don'', which is a suffix commonly used in {{wp|dinosaur}} names.

==In other languages==
* [[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Glurak - Comes from ''{{tt|Glut|ember}}'' and ''{{tt|Drache|dragon}}''.
* [[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Dracaufeu - Effectively translates as ''Fire Dragon''.
* [[List of Korean Pokémon names|Korean]]: 리자몽 ''Rijamong'' (Lizamon)
* [[List of Chinese Pokémon names|Chinese (Taiwan and Hong Kong)]]: 噴火龍 Pēn Hǔo Lóng ("fire spurting dragon")
