'''Sakura''' (Japanese: '''サクラ''' ''Sakura''), known as '''Sayo''' in the English language versions of the games, is a [[Pokémon Trainer]] who lives with her sisters, the [[Kimono Girl|Kimono Sisters]], in [[Ecruteak City]].

==In the anime==
===Main series===
[[File:Sakura Kimono.png|thumb|left|220px|Sakura in full costume]]
Sakura debuted in ''[[EP183|Trouble's Brewing]]''. She struck a friendship with {{an|Misty}} after learning both were both the youngest in their families and had similar experiences with their older sisters. While she was training to be a [[Kimono Girl]] like her sisters, she dreamed of becoming a [[Pokémon Trainer]] instead and looked forward to challenging the [[Johto League]]. She even considered joining {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} on their {{pkmn|journey}}. However, after witnessing Ash's group battling her sisters, she decided she wanted to train by herself first before embarking on her own journey.

In ''[[EP226|Espeon, Not Included]]'', Sakura reunited with the group while passing through [[Ecruteak City]]. By this time, her {{p|Eevee}} had [[Evolution|evolved]] into an {{TP|Sakura|Espeon}}. She used Espeon in a battle against [[Misty's Corsola]], though she lost the match. She later helped the group to save her sisters' stolen Pokémon from {{TRT}}. Afterwards, she decided she was ready to go on her own journey, and with her sisters' permission, she began her journey towards [[Violet City]].

In ''[[HS05|The Blue Badge of Courage]]'', Sakura was revealed to be challenging Gyms. She visited Misty in [[Cerulean City]] and mentioned that she already had three Gym Badges by that point: the {{badge|Storm}}, the {{badge|Zephyr}}, and the {{badge|Hive}}. After she helped Misty in rescuing [[Kinso]]'s stolen Badges from the [[Gym Badge thieves]], Sakura had a battle against Misty's Corsola once again. This time, Espeon was victorious, thus earning Sakura her fourth Badge, the {{badge|Cascade}}.

====Character====
Sakura shares a lot of parallels with {{an|Misty}}. In particular, she desired independence because she felt she never fit in with many of her sisters' activities and training regiments as [[Kimono Girl]]s. Her encounter with Misty eventually motivated her to go on her own journey. By the end of ''[[EP226|Espeon, Not Included]]'', Sakura put her training into practice, leading the offensive against {{TRT}} and recovering her sisters' stolen Pokémon, in the process showing how far she had come as a Trainer compared to her old lifestyle.

===Pokémon Evolutions===
[[File:PE07.png|thumb|250px|Sayo in [[Pokémon Evolutions]]]]
Sayo appeared in ''[[PE07|The Show]]'', where she and the other Kimono Girls reenacted the tale of {{p|Lugia}} and the destruction of the [[Burned Tower|Brass Tower]].

==In the games==
In {{3v2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}, Sayo can be battled in the Ecruteak Dance Theater, along with her four fellow Kimono Girls. Once she and the remaining Kimono Girls are defeated, a man will give the player {{HM|03|Surf}}.

Sayo makes an appearance in the Gold and Silver remakes, {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, as well. Unlike before, but as with other Kimono Girls in these games, she can be encountered outside of the Ecruteak Dance Hall. She first meets the player in the [[Ice Path]] when her sandals get stuck to the ice. She can be fought after the player receives the [[Rainbow Wing]] or the [[Silver Wing]]. Unlike before, she is in ownership of a Jolteon. Once she and the other Kimono Girls are defeated in a consecutive battle, the player receives either the [[Clear Bell]] or the [[Tidal Bell]].

'''Ritchie''' (Japanese: '''ヒロシ''' ''Hiroshi''), occasionally spelled '''Richie''', is a recurring character who appeared in the [[Pokémon anime]]. He is a [[Pokémon Trainer]] from [[Frodomar City]] and a [[rival]] of {{Ash}}. He first appeared in ''[[EP078|A Friend In Deed]]''.

==In the anime==
===Main series===
[[File:Ritchie.png|left|thumb|220px|Ritchie]]
=====[[Original series]]=====
Ritchie first appeared in ''[[EP078|A Friend In Deed]]'' and quickly befriended his fellow [[Indigo Plateau Conference]] competitor, [[Ash Ketchum]], in an elevator. When the elevator went out, he plugged in a device to [[Ash's Pikachu]] and got the elevator running again. Ritchie met up with Ash again outside. While {{TRT}} had {{pkmn|Trainer}}s put in their [[Poké Ball]]s in a sack, Ritchie discovered their scheme and he and Ash went after them. The two were unable to catch up to Team Rocket and camped out until the next day. Ritchie saw tire tracks and led them to Team Rocket's van. When he went inside, he was spotted by Team Rocket and the trio trapped him and Ash in the van. They were able to escape with the Poké Balls retrieved from Team Rocket.

Their friendship led to problems in ''[[EP079|Friend or Foe Alike]]'', since the two were pitted against each other in the next round. Ritchie waited for Ash on the battlefield even though Ash was unable to get there right away due to Team Rocket's meddling. Their match began when Ash was able to finally arrive. Ritchie won the match, since at the very end [[Ash's Charizard]] refused to fight [[Sparky]] and took a nap on the battlefield instead. Even though he lost in the next match to [[Assunta]], Ritchie made it to the Top 8 position in the League.

[[File:EP220.png|thumb|220px|Ritchie and Ash diving with {{jo|Silver}}]]
Sometime after the League and when Ash and {{ashfr}} went to [[Johto]], Ritchie became fascinated with a mysterious {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that can be found [[Whirl Islands]], which turned out to be a {{an|Lugia}}.

Ritchie met up with Ash and friends again on [[Ogi Isle]], starting in ''[[EP220|The Mystery is History]]''. After spotting a {{jo|Silver|baby Lugia}} named Silver with {{jo|Oliver}}, [[Butch]] and [[Cassidy]] attacked with their Pokémon and Ritchie and Ash defended Silver with their Pokémon. Their actions caused Butch and Cassidy to retreat until later when a submarine was dispatched to capture Silver.

In ''[[EP221|A Parent Trapped!]]'', Ritchie told the parent Lugia about what happened to Silver which caused it to briefly attack them. Ritchie and the group later found Silver in a cage on a base. Ritchie and Ash battled Butch and Cassidy in an attempt to stall them. They were badly beaten and the parent Lugia was captured.

In ''[[EP222|A Promise is a Promise]]'', Ritchie and the group was freed from a cage by Oliver. Ritchie and Ash took on Butch, Cassidy, and some {{tc|Team Rocket Grunt}}s with their Pokémon and easily swept through them. They went to the room where Silver was being held, but were stopped by [[Dr. Namba]]. Ritchie and Ash battled him with their Pikachu. Ritchie was also able to destroy the controller of the rage machine that was powering Dr. Namba's {{p|Electabuzz}}, defeat the Team Rocket scientist and take Silver away from him. With both Lugia reunited, Ritchie remained on the island with Oliver, to continue exploring the Whirl Islands, while Ash and his friends departed to [[Olivine City]].

=====[[Pokémon Chronicles]]=====
[[File:EP080.png|thumb|left|220px|Ritchie and Ash]]
Ritchie visited [[Professor Oak's Laboratory]] in ''[[HS08|Oaknapped!]]''. He and {{Tracey}} found out that {{an|Professor Oak}} had disappeared from the {{an|Seafoam Island}} TV station where he was supposed to have his live TV appearance. They later found him in an abandoned warehouse with the help of Ritchie's {{p|Taillow}}, Rose. They battled Butch and Cassidy and when [[Tracey's Scyther]] was beaten by Butch's {{p|Mightyena}}, Ritchie took care of the two Team Rocket agents and won. Professor Oak was grateful and even asked Ritchie to come back to [[Pallet Town]] to help install a security system in his lab.

In ''[[HS13|Celebi and Joy!]]'', Ritchie was passing through [[Marion Town]] when he saw some [[Demolition crew|construction workers]] demolishing an old [[Pokémon Center]]. He sent out [[Zippo]] and [[Sparky]] to prevent them from damaging the Pokémon Center any further, and the resident [[Nurse Joy]]s were grateful. They invited Ritchie inside, revealing the Center's history, including the passing of the elder Nurse Joy's childhood friend {{OBP|Nick|HS13}}. The Center also had an association with {{p|Celebi}}, who later appeared before Ritchie and [[Time travel|took him back in time]]. Ritchie arrived in a forest where he saved a young Nurse Joy from falling off a cliff. He and Nurse Joy then arrived in the Marion Town of the past. Ritchie discovered the same Celebi from before. He also met Nick and [[Nick's father|his father]].

Nurse Joy went missing during a storm, and Ritchie went with Nick to find her. Ritchie soon found Nurse Joy by the Celebi shrine lying down unconscious. Just as a lightning bolt was about to strike, Celebi appeared and protected Ritchie, Nick, and Nurse Joy. The next day, Ritchie went after Nick and his father on Nurse Joy's {{p|Ponyta}} which was the day that a rock slide would have killed them. However, as Ritchie convinced the two to come back to Marion Town to be there for a party held by Nurse Joy, the rock slide that occurred passed right behind Ritchie.

With that done, Ritchie was sent back to the present with the timeline altered. He saw the same construction crew from before, who were now restoring the Pokémon Center instead of demolishing it. Nick was also alive and now the mayor of Marion Town.

In ''[[HS18|The Search for the Legend]]'', Ritchie was aboard the [[S.S. Anne]] when he met {{OBP|Silver|HS18}} and a pair of mysterious doctors who were actually Butch and Cassidy. During a pit stop at [[One Island]], he learned more of the trio's plan to see a {{p|Moltres}}, and climbed to the summit of [[Mt. Ember|Mt. Magma]] with them. When Moltres revealed itself the following day, the doctors revealed their true identities, and attempted to nab Moltres. Ritchie and Silver battled together and defeated the duo. After Silver battled with Moltres, Mt. Magma erupted and when he had Silver's {{p|Salamence}} fly him and Ritchie out of there, Moltres flew off. Silver was willing to wait a little longer until Moltres came back. Ritchie parted ways with Silver on a boat while Silver stayed behind on One Island.

[[File:Ritchie JN.png|250px|thumb|Ritchie in ''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]'']]
====''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]''====
In ''[[JN116|Pride of a Champion!]]'', Ritchie appeared watching the [[Masters Eight Tournament]] match between {{an|Lance}} and [[Diantha]] on TV.

====Character====
Ritchie is a kindhearted and sincere boy. His courageous actions helped him to develop bonds and gain respect from other characters, including {{an|Professor Oak}} and [[Marion Town]]'s [[Nurse Joy]]. He values his friendships, even waiting for {{Ash}} despite his delayed arrival for their [[Indigo Plateau Conference]] match in ''[[EP079|Friend or Foe Alike]]''.

Ritchie balanced out Ash's more reckless approach with his cautious manner in ''[[EP078|A Friend In Deed]]''. He thinks ahead, as seen when he packs extra supplies, and his problem-solving skills lend themselves well to his traveling lifestyle. After his Indigo League loss to [[Assunta]], Ritchie noted that defeats were invaluable and this helped Ash to overcome his own sadness after his loss.

He is passionate about {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, and like Ash, he dreams of becoming a [[Pokémon Master]]. Ritchie and Ash are often compared to each other, and in ''[[HS08|Oaknapped!]]'', Ritchie joked that he and Ash tend to catch many of the same Pokémon. Ritchie's battling strategy focuses on his Pokémon's stamina, and he uses attacks like [[Zippo]]'s {{m|Flamethrower}} and {{p|Pupitar|Cruise}}'s {{m|Sandstorm}} to repel his opponent's Pokémon away before attacking. His appearance near [[Ogi Isle]] in ''[[EP220|The Mystery is History]]'' also revealed Ritchie's interest in Pokémon research and folklore.

====Pokémon====
[[File:Ritchie Poké Balls.png|thumb|220px|Ritchie's {{i|Poké Ball}}s]]
Ritchie's Pokémon coincidentally tend to be similar to {{Ash}}'s first captures, either in [[Kanto]] or [[Hoenn]]. Despite this, Ritchie is also seen battling with a few different Pokémon, such as {{p|Pupitar}} and others shown during his [[Full Battle]] with [[Assunta]]. Also, Ritchie's Pokémon tend to be more obedient to their Trainer, largely due to Ritchie being a little more experienced than Ash at that time. [[Zippo]], for example, was shown to be more obedient to Ritchie [[Ash's Charmeleon|than]] [[Trevor's Charmeleon|other]] {{p|Charmeleon}} shown in the anime.

Ritchie puts stickers on his {{i|Poké Ball}}s to differentiate his Pokémon between others and is one of Ash's only [[rival]]s to give [[nickname]]s to his Pokémon.

After meeting Ash, Ritchie is often seen accompanied by [[Sparky]] at his side, in a way similar to the relationship between Ash and his {{AP|Pikachu}}.

Ash and Ritchie decided to use their Pokémon to help them land safely. Ash used his {{AP|Pidgeotto}}, while Ritchie sent out Happy. Thanks to their Pokémon, the two Trainers were able to land safely.

Happy reappeared in ''[[EP079|Friend and Foe Alike]]'' during Ash and Ritchie's battle at [[Indigo Plateau]]. It was up against {{AP|Squirtle}}. It easily defeated the {{t|Water}} type by using {{m|Sleep Powder}}, which caused Squirtle to become disqualified. Happy was then defeated by {{AP|Pikachu}} using his {{m|Thunder Shock}}.

Happy was last seen in ''[[EP080|Friends to the End]]'' during Ritchie's battle with [[Assunta]].

It was very strong in battle, and it caused the two [[Team Rocket]] members to retreat.

Ritchie later used Cruise in ''[[EP222|A Promise is a Promise]]''. Butch and Cassidy were once again trying to prevent the Trainers from rescuing Silver and its {{an|Lugia|mother}}, so Ritchie called upon it to take care of them and the other {{tc|Team Rocket Grunt}}s in the area. After it defeated them, Cruise helped Ash and {{an|Misty}} free Silver from its cage by tackling the bars after [[Ash's Cyndaquil]], {{AP|Totodile}}, and {{TP|Misty|Poliwhirl}} had weakened them.

Cruise's known moves are {{m|Headbutt}}{{tt|*|Incorrectly referred to as Take Down in the dub}} and {{m|Sandstorm}}.}}

During the fourth round, he was paired with Ash's rival, {{Gary}}. After Ash defeated [[Jeanette Fisher]], he ran to see if Ritchie won or not and to his surprise, Ritchie was able to defeat Gary.

Ritchie was then paired with Ash in the fifth round. They battled with {{p|Butterfree}} and {{AP|Squirtle}} first, which resulted in a tie. The two sent out their Pikachu and tied again. When Ritchie sent out [[Zippo|Charley]] against [[Ash's Charizard]], but his Pokémon was badly hurt by Ash's. Despite Ash winning, he resigned from the battle and made Ritchie the winner automatically. Ritchie apologized to Ash for challenging him.

He briefly reappeared with [[Sparky|Chuchino]] after Ash won his match with {{OBP|Drake|Orange League}}.

List of major animated series ships

2023-01-23T05:06:27Z

ArceusVsMew: fixed and added some of the Japanese pairing names

Within the Pokémon anime, there are several times that certain emphasis is focused on two characters more than others and this can lead to fans imagining characters being in a relationship together. These can develop deeper over several seasons or arcs of the show or even be entirely based on individual episodes. The majority of these ships are based around {{Ash}} and [[Ash's friends|his friends]], or [[rival]] pairings within the series.

==Main cast ships==
[[Image:BoulderShipping.png|thumb|250px|Ash taking care of Brock]]
===Ash x Brock===
Commonly referred to as BoulderShipping (Japanese: '''サトタケ''' ''SatoTake''), referring to the {{badge|Boulder}} that Brock gives to {{pkmn|Trainers}} upon his defeat.

Serving as {{Ash}}'s longest travelling companion the {{an|Brock}} and Ash have a long history together, from the {{series|Original}} in [[Kanto]] through to [[Sinnoh]] in the {{series|Diamond and Pearl}} (with the exception of the [[S02|Orange Archipelago arc]]). Many of their interactions that BoulderShippers support revolves around the two characters caring for each other when sick or injured, such as in ''[[EP193|Sick Daze]]'' or ''[[DP156|A Meteoric Rise to Excellence!]]''. They are shown to work well together as well in [[Multi Battle|Tag Battles]], speaking to the strength of their relationship, as seen in ''[[AG177|Grating Spaces!]]'' and ''[[DP076|A Full Course Tag Battle!]]''.
{{-}}

[[File:Pearlshipping.png|thumb|250px|left||Ash and Dawn holding hands in ''[[M10|The Rise of Darkrai]]'']]
===Ash x Dawn===
Commonly known as PearlShipping (Japanese: '''サトヒカ''' ''SatoHika''), which originates from the belief that {{an|Dawn}}'s {{ga|Dawn|game persona}} would be linked to the {{ga|Barry|Pearl}} name upon {{2v2|Diamond|Pearl}}'s release before much was known about either the anime saga or Dawn's character.

Travelling with {{Ash}} through the Sinnoh region, it was through a lot of guidance from Ash and {{an|Brock}} that Dawn was able to develop into a capable {{pkmn|Trainer}}. PearlShippers commonly cite the many similarities between the two characters first journeys across their respective region, highlighting, in particular, the similarities in their Pokémon's behavior towards them, such as {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}} and {{TP|Ash|Pikachu}}'s initial mistrust of their partner, and the [[obedience|issues]] that they had getting their {{TP|Ash|Charizard}} and {{TP|Dawn|Mamoswine}} to obey them after evolving. In the Japanese version, it features one of the first opening theme duets in the form of [[High Touch!]], which is sung by Ash and Dawn's voice actors. This theme is frequently used as background music in moments of victory between the two, specifically highlighting the significance of a high five between them and the importance it has on their relationship.
{{-}}

[[File:NegaiShipping1.png|thumb|250px|Iris and Ash]]
===Ash x Iris===
Commonly known as NegaiShipping (Japanese: '''サトアイ''' ''SatoAi''), with Negai meaning ‘wish', linking to ''[[Pokémon the Series: Black & White]]''.

Although their relationship started off rocky with a lot of fighting, throughout the series, {{an|Iris}} came to trust {{Ash}}. As well as this, she was the first female traveling companion to follow Ash of her own accord, and not due to her bike being destroyed or being invited along on his journey. {{an|Cilan}}, a {{pkmn|Connoisseur}} has noted on several different occasions that Ash and Iris give off an interesting flavor when they are together and have also pointed out their similarities. This usually causes them to lash out at him aggressively in disagreement.
{{-}}

[[File:SM005.png|250px|thumb|left|Ash and Lana hanging out in ''[[SM005|Yo, Ho, Ho! Go, Popplio!]]'']]

===Ash x Lana===
Commonly known as BlueAngelShipping (Japanese: '''サトスイ''' ''SatoSui''), referring to the color of {{an|Lana}}'s hair and her calm and gentle personality.

{{Ash}} and Lana are good friends, helping teach each others Pokémon and building upon the skills together as can be seen in ''[[SM005|Yo, Ho, Ho! Go, Popplio!]]''. Multiple times over the course of the {{series|Sun and Moon}} it was questioned by others as to whether they were a couple, such as [[Harper and Sarah]] in ''Yo, Ho, Ho! Go, Popplio!'' and [[Olivia]] in ''[[SM033|Big Sky, Small Fry!]]''.
{{-}}

[[File:Aether Paradise House anime.png|250px|thumb|Ash and Lillie in Lillie's room at Aether Paradise]]
===Ash x Lillie===
Commonly known as AureliaShipping (Japanese: '''サトリー''' ''SatoRī'') where ''Aurelia'' is derived from the jellyfish species {{wp|Aurelia aurita}}, in reference to {{an|Lillie}}'s resemblance to {{p|Nihilego}}.

Ash and Lillie both joined the [[Pokémon School]] at the same time, quickly bonding with each other and their classmates. Ash admires Lillie's knowledge on Pokémon of the [[Alola]] region, and it was thanks to him that she was able to overcome her fear of touching Pokémon. In the opening theme [[Alola!!]] the two are parallelled as well with Ash being used to symbolise the sun and Lille to symbolize the moon.
{{-}}

[[File:Ash May Split Ribbon.png|thumb|220px|left|Ash and May with the ribbon halves]]
===Ash x May===
Commonly known as AdvanceShipping (Japanese: '''サトハル''' ''SatoHaru''), named for the anime series based in [[Hoenn]] [[S06|Pokémon Advanced]].

{{an|May}} is {{Ash}}'s first full time female companion after {{an|Misty}} left as a main character and accompanied him across both [[Hoenn]] and [[Kanto]]. She is a {{pkmn|Coordinator}} and the first companion of his to have a frequently visited goal in the series, aiming to win the [[Grand Festival]]. Throughout the series, characters mistakenly believed they were a couple as seen primarily in ''[[AG072|The Bicker The Better]]''. Their companionship is cemented during the ending of the [[Terracotta Town]] {{pkmn|Contest}} in ''[[AG192|Home is Where the Start Is]]'' where the final battle results in a draw and they split the winning [[ribbon]].
{{-}}

[[File:Ash Misty Hold Hands.png|250px|thumb|Ash and Misty holding hands in ''[[EP020|The Ghost of Maiden's Peak]]'']]

===Ash x Misty===
{{main|PokéShipping}}

{{-}}

[[File:Entertainment Kiss.png|thumb|200px|left|Valentine's Day poster with Ash and Serena]]
===Ash x Serena===
{{main|AmourShipping}}
Commonly known as AmourShipping (Japanese: '''サトセレ''' ''SatoSere''), deriving from the French word for love, the region that [[Kalos]] is based on. This ship gained a lot of attention due to the revelation of the two characters knowing each other since their childhood. This was further assisted when the characters went their separate ways and it is heavily implied a kiss occurred between them.
{{-}}

[[File:ShoppingShipping.png|250px|thumb|May and Brock]]
===Brock x May===
Commonly known as ShoppingShipping (Japanese: '''タケハル''' ''TakeHaru''), originating from the fact that {{an|Brock}} and {{an|May}} both enjoy shopping together. This was seen in ''[[AG009|Taming of the Shroomish]]'' and ''[[AG036|The Spheal of Approval]]''.
{{-}}

[[File:Jessie James AG.png|220px|thumb|left|Jessie and James choose flight over fight in ''[[AG040|Watt's with Wattson?]]'']]

===Jessie x James===
{{main|RocketShipping}}
Commonly known as RocketShipping (Japanese: '''コジムサ''' ''KojiMusa''), based upon their careers as [[Team Rocket]] members. This ship has a lot of implied and creator confirmed evidence regarding it that appears in the other adaptations of the anime.
{{-}}

[[File:GymShipping Hint.png|250px|thumb|Brock pulling Misty's ear]]
===Misty x Brock===
Commonly known as GymShipping (Japanese: '''タケカス''' ''TakeKasu'') as both Misty and Brock are [[Gym Leader]]s.

{{an|Misty}} and {{an|Brock}} have shared many adventures with {{Ash}} over the course of the Pokémon series. As a result, they've also had many close moments, such as in ''[[EP013|Mystery at the Lighthouse]]'' where the two of them waltzed to {{p|Dragonite}}'s music, or in ''[[Snow Way Out!]]'' when they found a hot spring when they were separated from Ash. During the [[SS03|Johto]] arc of the anime, a running gag is developed where Brock, whenever confessing his feelings toward a female character, is pulled back into line by Misty.
{{-}}

[[File:OrangeShipping.png|thumb|250px|left|Misty and Tracey holding hands]]

===Misty x Tracey===
Commonly known as OrangeShipping (Japanese: '''ケンカス''' ''KenKasu''), named for the [[S02|second English series]] where {{Tracey}} debuted.

This pairing whilst given some evidence during the [[Orange Archipelago]] arc, mostly in their admiration of each other's knowledge and abilities, had their relationship primarily showcased in the Side Story episodes. Both {{an|Casey}} and [[Sakura]] mistook them for being a couple in their [[HS05|respective]] [[HS11|episodes]]. {{Daisy}} also asked Tracey to play a prince, opposite {{an|Misty}} as a mermaid, in a production by the [[Cerulean Gym]]. Tracey, gave Misty an {{pkmn|Egg}} that contained an {{TP|Misty|Azurill}} to hatch and care for. Finally, in ''[[BW142|The Dream Continues!]]'' when Ash is looking for Tracey, [[Professor Oak]] tells him that he is currently visiting Misty.
{{-}}

[[File:Clemontic Gear Pokémon Power Meter.png|thumb|250px|Clemont showing an invention off to Serena]]

===Serena x Clemont===
Commonly known as GeekChicShipping (Japanese: '''シトセレ''' ''CitSere'') named after the [[wp:Geek#Geek chic|geek chic]] fashion trend, and reflects their personalities: Clemont is geeky and Serena is {{wp|chic}}.

{{an|Serena}} and {{an|Clemont}} share a very positive friendship, with Clemont excited to teach and show Serena new things and Serena showing a lot of kindness and generosity in return. When [[Meyer]], Clemont's father, meets Serena in ''[[XY009|Clemont's Got a Secret!]]'', he teased Clemont by calling her his “beautiful girlfriend”. Clemont also trusts Serena enough to leave Bonnie in her care when he has to leave the group temporarily during ''[[XY062|The Future Is Now, Thanks to Determination!]]''. In ''[[XY105|Party Dancecapades!]]'', Serena asks Clemont to be her date to the party and invites him to dance.
{{-}}

==Rival ships==
[[File:PalletShipping.png|250px|thumb|Ash and Gary in ''[[EP063|The Battle of the Badge]]'']]
===Ash x Gary===
Commonly known as PalletShipping (Japanese: '''シゲサト''' ''ShigeSato''), as both characters originate from [[Pallet Town]].

The pair have always had a rivalry with [[Gary Oak|Gary]] frequently poking fun at {{Ash}} and bragging about his victories over Ash. Whereas Ash's drive and determination derive heavily from his rivalry with Gary. To the point where early on in the series Ash actually follows Gary to new regions, even after he decides to start being a [[Pokémon Professor|Pokémon Researcher]]. [[Delia Ketchum|Delia]] and {{an|Professor Oak}} also comment during the [[Silver Conference]] that the two share a very close friendship. This is solidified by the matching broken {{i|Poké Ball}} halves they share.
{{-}}

[[File:Cilan Burgundy.png|thumb|250px|left|Burgundy and Cilan]]
===Cilan x Burgundy===
Commonly known as SommelierShipping (Japanese: '''デンカベ''' ''DenCabe''), named for the Japanese name of their specialization as [[Pokémon Connoisseur]]s.

[[Burgundy]] considers {{an|Cilan}} to be one of her biggest rivals, determined to one day better him in competition, both as a {{pkmn|Trainer}} and as a Connoisseur. Despite her abrasiveness, Cilan has been shown to be nothing but pleasant to her even when the ire is directed towards him. In ''[[BW091|Battling Authority Once Again!]]'', [[Georgia]] questions her jealousy towards him and implies that she may have deeper feelings, which causes Burgundy to get flustered.
{{-}}

[[Image:HeatTag Dawn.png|thumb|right|300px|Dawn is impressed and Conway blushes]]
===Dawn x Conway===
Commonly known as HeatTagShipping (Japanese: '''コウヒカ''' ''KouHika''). The name comes from its original coiner always missing the 'r' in Hearthome, coming out with the word 'Heat'. 'Tag' is short for tag team.

Dawn first met Conway in [[Hearthome City]] in ''[[DP050|Tag, We're It!]]''. Both joined the [[Hearthome City Tag Battle Competition]] and were partnered where Dawn was impressed with Conway's battling ability. The two met again in ''[[DP088|Camping It Up!]]'' when both enrolled as students in [[Professor Rowan]]'s [[Pokémon Summer Academy]] where Conway promises to protect Dawn.
{{-}}

[[File:Drew and May AG113.png|250px|thumb|left|May and Drew]]
===May x Drew===
Commonly known as ContestShipping (Japanese: '''シュウハル''' ''ShuuHaru''), as both {{an|May}} and [[Drew]] compete in [[Pokémon Contest]]s.

The relationship between May and Drew is very similar to that of {{Ash}} and [[Gary Oak|Gary]] in the way they acted towards each other. With Drew being critical and arrogant towards May, and May being irked by his actions, constantly striving to better him. Early on, Drew made a habit of gifting May roses with the excuse they were for her Pokémon, this is even played for comedy later when May receives a rose from an unknown person and she assumes it's from Drew. Multiple characters over the course of the series tease the pair about their potential interest in each other including [[Harley]], {{an|Brock}}, [[Caroline]], [[Brianna]], [[Jessie]], [[Max]] and [[Solidad]].
{{-}}

==One-sided canon ships==
[[File:Ash Angie Summit Medal.png|thumb|250px|Ash and Angie with the Summit Medal]]
===Ash x Angie===
Commonly known as MorpheusShipping (Japanese: '''サトアオ''' ''SatoAo''), which originates from [[wp:Morpheus (mythology)|Morpheus]], the Greek god of dreams, to represent their mutual feelings for their lessons (by sleeping through them).

It is confirmed on [[Angie]]'s side that she developed feelings for {{Ash}} over the course of the [[Pokémon Summer Academy]] arc after Ash saves her from falling down a cliff and protects her from the [[ghost girl]]. During ''[[DP098|If the Scarf Fits, Wear It!]]'' Ash defends Angie's actions to her parents, and after the conclusion of the episode, her parents joke about the two of them getting married.
{{-}}

[[File:Diamond Pearl 2009 14.png|thumb|250px|left|DVD cover featuring Ash, Dawn, Khoury and Lyra]]

===Ash x Lyra===
Commonly known as PokéSilverShipping (Japanese: '''サトコト''' ''SatoKoto''), and is likely to be derived from the fact that {{ga|Lyra|Lyra's game counterpart}} is the female playable character of {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}. It was formerly a one-sided canon ship on {{an|Lyra}}'s side until she developed feelings for [[Khoury]].

It is implied in ''[[DP144|Gone With the Windworks!]]'' that Lyra has an interest in {{Ash}} when she considers him a potential marriage candidate. She admires his bravery and wishes [[Khoury]] acted more like him. Lyra has even asked {{an|Dawn}} if she and Ash are a couple, though Dawn informed her that they are just friends. In ''[[DP145|A Rivalry to Gible On!]]'', Lyra attempted to pair Khoury and Dawn together as a couple, despite Dawn's refusal, before eventually realizing she had feelings for Khoury.
{{-}}

===Ash x Miette===
Commonly known as PoffleShipping (Japanese: '''サトミル''' ''SatoMiru'') and is likely to be derived from the fact that in [[Miette]]'s debut episode she was featured in a [[Poké Puff Contest]]. It is a one-sided canon ship on Miette's side when she announced her feelings to {{an|Serena}} indicating they were rivals not just in competition, but also for {{Ash}}'s affection.

During ''[[XY026|A Battle by Any Other Name!]]'' Miette admires {{Ash}}'s bravery against {{TRT}}, and in the end tells {{an|Serena}} about her feelings for {{Ash}}. Later in ''[[XY079|Performing with Fiery Charm!]]'', Miette reminds Serena she hasn't forgotten about their "other" competition, referring to Ash. She asks to dance with him as well during ''[[XY105|Party Dancecapades!]]''.

{{-}}

[[File:TeenCareShipping.png|thumb|250px|Holly admiring Brock]]
===Brock x Holly===
Commonly known as TeenCareShipping.

{{an|Brock}} first met [[Holly]] during the [[Hearthome City Tag Battle Competition]], where they were [[Multi Battle|Tag Battle]] partners in the tournament. Despite her initial disinterest she quickly began admiring him as the tournament progressed, and even getting jealous when Brock expressed interest in [[Nurse Joy]]. After their loss in ''[[DP052|Smells Like Team Spirit!]]'' Brock comforts her and afterward, she leaves so that she can become a better partner for him. Brock is saddened to find she left without saying goodbye and that he may have lost his chance at love.
{{-}}

[[File:TraumaShipping.png|thumb|250px|left|Ivy and Brock]]
===Brock x Ivy===
Commonly known as TraumaShipping, which originated from how {{an|Brock}} develops a depressive fright just at the mention of [[Professor Ivy]]'s name.

It was formerly a one-sided canon relationship on Brock's side, going above and beyond in helping her with her research, however, he is no longer interested in her.
{{-}}

[[File:Suzy Vulpix.png|thumb|250px|Suzie and the Vulpix that she gave to Brock]]
===Brock x Suzie===
Commonly known as BreederShipping, as [[Suzie]] is a [[Pokémon Breeder]] by profession and {{an|Brock}}'s original goal was to become a Pokémon Breeder before he focused on becoming a [[Pokémon Doctor]].

In ''[[EP028|Pokémon Fashion Flash]]'' Brock initially wanted to be one of Suzie's students, but she said she was too busy to take on pupils, greatly admiring her skills and wanting to learn more himself. He takes to heart her philosophy of [[Friendship|close personal relationships]] with Pokémon was the most important thing in [[Pokémon training|raising]] them. At the culmination of the episode, she leaves her Vulpix in her care and leaves to begin her own journey. They're reunited in ''[[EP169|Beauty and the Breeder]]'' when she requests to meet up with Brock and Vulpix again. After seeing Suzie and [[Zane]] work together, Brock realizes that he and Suzie would never be anything more than good friends and he decides to leave Vulpix back with Suzie saying he was just looking after it for some time.

[[File:PenguinShipping.png|thumb|220px|left|Kenny and Dawn]]
===Dawn x Kenny===
Commonly known as PenguinShipping (Japanese: '''ケンヒカ''' ''KenHika''), originating from the fact that both of them have members of the {{p|Piplup}} [[evolution]] family. Due to being childhood friends and now contest rivals, it has been shown that he and Dawn know each other well. As a running gag in the series, Kenny calls Dawn ''Dee-Dee'' (Japanese: '''ピカリ''' ''Pikari'').

Over the course of the {{series|Diamond and Pearl}} Kenny's frequently shown to be flustered towards Dawn, and overly concerned for her wellbeing despite their rivalry. This culminates in {{an|Brock}} recognizing Kenny's affections during ''[[DP180|Four Roads Diverged in a Pokémon Port!]]'' and trying to give him advice on talking to Dawn about his feelings. When Kenny tells Dawn that he wants to go on a journey with her, he says, "I know this is a bit sudden, but I ''had'' to tell you how I feel!" He then runs off, and Dawn seems to be conflicted about Kenny's offer to go back to Twinleaf Town with him or going to the Sinnoh League with Ash. When Dawn sees how upset Kenny is after agreeing to let her go with Ash, she becomes saddened. Later, she leaves a note—as well as a Piplup figurine—behind at the [[Vista Lighthouse]], wishing Kenny luck in the future. She then waves goodbye to Kenny while she's on the boat heading to [[Lily of the Valley Island]] as he stands at the lighthouse.

[[File:QuestShipping.png|thumb|220px|right|Jimmy and Marina]]
===Jimmy x Marina===
Commonly known as QuestShipping (Japanese: '''ケンマリ''' ''KenMari'').

Appearing during ''[[The Legend of Thunder!]]'' specials, it is heavily implied that there is mutual unspoken interest between {{jo|Jimmy}} and {{jo|Marina}}, despite other characters, such as [[Vincent]] and [[Jimmy's Typhlosion]] noticing and taunting Jimmy about it. During the third part when Marina is rescued, Jimmy and Marina share a knowing look, and when they part ways, Marina calls Vincent on her [[Pokégear]] to make sure he has her number. Also Jimmy and Marina is based on {{ga|Ethan}} and {{ga|Kris}} from {{game|Crystal}}.

[[File:ValleyShipping.png|thumb|250px|Charla standing with Ash's Charizard affectionately]]
===Ash's Charizard x Charla===
Commonly known as ValleyShipping, named for the [[Charicific Valley]], where both {{p|Charizard}} live for a length of time.

When {{AP|Charizard}}, {{jo|Liza}} and [[Charla]] return in ''[[EP253|Great Bowls of Fire!]]'', [[Clair]] points out how close the two Charaizard are, with {{an|Misty}} even calling them lovebirds after Charla cuddles up to Charizard.
{{-}}

[[File:PikachuBuneary.png|thumb|250px|left|Buneary and Pikachu]]
===Buneary x Pikachu===
Commonly known as LagomorphShipping, which originates from {{wp|Lagomorpha}}, the order that rabbits and {{wp|pika}}s belong to, connecting to {{p|Buneary}} being based on real-world rabbits, and "pika" being in {{p|Pikachu}}'s name.

This is one-sided canon on {{TP|Dawn|Buneary}}'s side, whose crush on {{TP|Ash|Pikachu}} was a running feature in the {{series|Diamond and Pearl}}, frequently fawning over him and appearing with hearts in her eyes and blushing during their interactions. The crush was noted by {{Ash}}, {{an|Brock}} and {{an|Dawn}} in Buneary's debut in ''[[DP009|Setting the World on Its Buneary!]]'' and is also noticed by {{an|May}} in ''[[DP076|A Full Course Tag Battle!]]''
{{-}}

===Meowth x Meowzie===
Commonly known as NekoShipping, in reference to the Japanese word for a cat, neko.

This pairing is one-sided canon on {{MTR}}'s side and is brought up multiple times throughout the series. It is explored primarily in ''[[EP070|Go West Young Meowth]]''. Meowth fell in love with [[Meowzie]] but had nothing to offer her that her owner couldn't provide, so to impress her he learned to speak and walk on two legs. Upon doing so, however, she considered him a freak regardless of his motivations.
{{-}}

[[File:KrazyShipping.png|250px|thumb|left|Meowth and Pikachu dancing, in the [[Polka O Dolka]] ending theme]]

===Pikachu x Meowth===
Commonly known as KrazyShipping (Japanese: '''ニャピカ''' ''NyaPika''), which references ''{{wp|Krazy Kat}}'', a comic strip from the early 20th century about a cat who was in love with a mouse, while the mouse hated the cat.

Despite the differences between {{MTR}} and {{AP|Pikachu}} fans of this pairing think that there is some basis for a relationship and have been shown to work well together when they have to, such as in ''[[EP017|Island of the Giant Pokémon]]'' and ''[[EP104|Bound for Trouble]]''. In ''[[AG089|A Scare to Remember]]'', Pikachu gets amnesia and is actually caught by the Rocket trio. Although Meowth does trick Pikachu into thinking it was raised by {{TRT}}, throughout the episode, Meowth admits he feels guilty about tricking Pikachu. Finally, in the [[Polka O Dolka]] ending, Meowth and Pikachu are seen dancing together.

==Blurb==

As Ash heads back to Hearthome City for his long-delayed Gym battle, he's concerned about his own Gligar's battle woes. Even though Ash gives Gligar lots of special training, it just can't get its act together. Gligar finally gives up and flies away, only to run into Gary Oak. Gary offers to help with Gligar's problem, starting by having a friendly battle between Gligar and Gary's Umbreon. Once the battle starts, Gligar panics, and Gary realizes what the problem is: Gligar is overcome by fear whenever it tries to fight.

Gary thinks Gligar should use a Razor Fang to evolve into Gliscor, and Gary just happens to have a Razor Fang he can give to Ash. Once Gligar is a powerful Gliscor, its fear will be a thing of the past! Gligar loves this idea, but Ash says no; he wants Gligar to conquer its fear before it evolves. Poor Gligar gets another shock when Team Rocket springs an ambush with their giant Gliscorbot, snatching Gligar and making a getaway. Ash manages to leap onto the Gliscorbot before it escapes, but that just means Ash and Gligar end up stuck in the same cage!

While Team Rocket celebrates their catch by eating themselves into a stupor, Ash coaches Gligar to break them out of the cage with X-Scissor. With Gligar's help, the two of them then escape across a chasm, and Gligar's confidence begins to build. Just in time, too, because Team Rocket has caught up with their escaped captives! Ash tosses Gligar the Razor Fang and it evolves just in time to save them both from Team Rocket's clutches. In fact, by the time Gary and the others catch up to Ash, Gliscor has Team Rocket pretty well beat! Gary says his farewells and our heroes get back on the road to Hearthome City, now accompanied by a confident new Gliscor!

==Plot==
{{cleanup|section}}
{{Ash}}, {{an|Dawn}} and {{an|Brock}} begin eating. As they do, Brock seems happy at how well the group of Pokémon are getting along and how they seem to be enjoying the food. On ground level, {{TP|Dawn|Swinub}} starts to take too much of a liking to {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}}'s food portion but is stopped by the no-nonsense penguin who pushes it back. {{AP|Turtwig}} gets between the two bickering Pokémon and stops the fight before it starts, while Ash and Dawn laugh at the squabbling duo. Ash then realizes that {{p|Gligar}} is nowhere to be found, and gets up and starts to look around for the missing Pokémon. Ash calls out its name, and is replied instantly by an affectionate Gligar who drops down from the sky and lands straight on top of Ash, slamming him to the ground. Ash wonders where Gligar went to, and Gligar starts to use {{m|X-Scissor}} to show Ash that it has been training. Ash is impressed, and Brock wonders if maybe it's trying harder to get stronger after [[DP081|being defeated]] by [[Paul]]'s {{p|Gliscor}}. Dawn tells Brock to hush as he's hurting Gligar's feelings, and Ash comforts the upset Pokémon by telling it that they'll do some training together soon.

After the group finish their meal, a practice battle between Gligar and {{AP|Buizel}} is set up so Gligar can practice some of its moves. Gligar seems confident, before Buizel starts to look at it with an evil smirk. Gligar's confidence starts to waver, but Ash tells it that everything will be fine and that a battle like this is just what it needs. Gligar is satisfied by this, and Ash starts the battle off by telling Gligar to use X-Scissor. Gligar tries hitting Buizel with the attack, but the Sea Weasel proves too fast for it and keeps dodging every attack. Ash then tells Buizel to use {{m|Aqua Jet}}, which it does jumping into the air and speeding towards Gligar with a high powered water attack. Gligar falls to the ground and starts crying, before jumping into Ash's arms and clinging to his head. Buizel continues its attack and smashes straight into Ash, who is far from impressed. Ash irritatedly asks Gligar what's wrong with it, causing Gligar to get discouraged. Dawn tells Ash that he's going about it the wrong way and kneels down to Gligar's level. She then starts comforting it by stroking it and gives it a hug, which makes Gligar blush and stop crying. Ash says that he doesn't want Gligar to get spoiled from being treated that way, but Brock notes that being so harsh on it won't get him anywhere, either.

[[File:Ash scolding Gligar.png|thumb|220px|Ash scolding Gligar]]
Ash then calls out Turtwig to battle against Gligar instead. Ash tells Turtwig to use {{m|Energy Ball}}, which Gligar manages to dodge but only because it's trying to run away. As it flies into the air, Ash tells Gligar to use {{m|Steel Wing}}, which it does, but falters when Turtwig stares at it ferociously, ready to defend. Gligar then spins around and starts chasing after Ash, who starts to run away. Gligar swoops down, knocking over Ash again with its weight. Ash starts to scold the Pokémon, saying that it's going to have to start toughening up and stop crying. Gligar takes it a little too harshly, and it flies away sobbing. Watching all of this happen is {{TRT}} who are hiding in the bushes nearby. [[James]] thinks that this is the perfect chance to steal Gligar, who will now be alone and defenseless. {{MTR}} explains that they could capture Gligar and send it to {{an|Giovanni|the Boss}}, who could use it to shield his eyes in the morning when the sun peeks in through the window. [[Jessie]] thinks this is a great idea, and the three celebrate at their latest plan.

Meanwhile, Ash, Dawn, and Brock are calling out for the missing Gligar to no avail. {{AP|Staravia}} then flies onto the scene, and Ash asks if the bird Pokémon has seen Gligar. Staravia nods, and the gang follow it to a forest clearing, where they find Gligar along with a familiar face: Ash's old [[rival]] turned {{pkmn|Professor|Pokémon Researcher}}, [[Gary Oak]]. The two greet each other, and Dawn is instantly awe-struck by seeing {{an|Professor Oak|the poetry guy}}'s grandson again. Ash asks Gary what he's doing here, and he explains that he was on his way to [[Lake Valor]] to check out the [[Legendary_Pokémon|Legendary]] [[Lake_guardians_(anime)#Azelf|Pokémon]] that Ash and his friends saw [[DP078|earlier]], because [[Professor Rowan]] asked that he do so. Gary asks about Gligar, to which Ash replies that it is his. Gary makes a guess that they were in the middle of training when it ran off, to which Ash is surprised that he knew. Gary smirks playfully at Ash and suggests that his training methods aren't working. Ash takes the bait and gets offended by his assumption, to which Gary clarifies that he was only offering to help him. Ash refuses his offer and tries to call Gligar back to him, but Gligar recoils in fright and hides behind Gary. Ash then grabs ahold of Gligar, trying to pull it away, but Gligar refuses to budge and continues to hide in fear. Dawn suggests to Ash that maybe he should let Gary help him with Gligar's training. Brock agrees, and says that he should do it for Gligar's sake, and that it would be best for everyone. Gary agrees, and Ash grits his teeth in frustration.

Not soon after, the two begin a battle to try to figure out why Gligar is having problems training. Gary sends out {{TP|Gary|Umbreon}} against Ash's Gligar, and Ash starts the battle off by telling Gligar to use Steel Wing, which is followed by Gary who tells Umbreon to use its {{m|Shadow Ball}}. The attack misses Gligar, but the scared Pokémon recoils in fear anyway, and it falls back down and lands on Ash. Gary takes note that Gligar easily gets frightened when facing an opponent. Brock adds that even though Gligar wants to get stronger, it can't because of its fear of battling. Gary says that the first step they have to take is to try and overcome that fear, and Dawn asks how they can do that. Ash pipes up and says that you just have to focus and concentrate, to which Gary quickly shuts him down, saying that he'll never change. He then says that to use Steel Wing effectively, the Pokémon using it needs to jump up in the air as high as possible beforehand, and if they can work on that then Gligar's confidence would surely return. Dawn is amazed by how Gary explained it, and remarks that he's much better at giving instructions than Ash is, to which Ash takes offense. Taking in some of the conversation between the group, Gligar starts warming up to the battle by bouncing on its tail like a spring, before jumping up to fly. However, once in the air, Gligar becomes scared at how high it is and falls back down to the ground, landing on Ash again.

At that, Gary says that they've definitely got a problem on their hands if Gligar is afraid of heights, too. He then asks how much battling Gligar has actually done, and Dawn explains to him that it's not very much, as Gligar got beaten pretty badly by Paul's Gliscor. She adds that maybe that's the reason why Gligar is so scared to battle now. Gary thinks on it for a moment, and then has an idea that he says may help Gligar, and pulls out a [[Razor Fang]] from his pocket. He hands it to Ash, telling him the Razor Fang will make Gligar [[Evolution|evolve]] into Gliscor, and if they evolve it, it'll feel a lot better about its abilities. Gligar excitedly tries to grab the item from Ash's hand but Ash stops it, pulling his hand away from the over-eager Pokémon. He tells it that evolution is no substitute for hard work, and that it can evolve after it conquers its fear. Suddenly, a large noise is heard from nearby and Team Rocket emerge from the trees in a [[Team_Rocket%27s_mechas|Gliscor-shaped balloon]]. The team then recite their usual motto, followed up by {{TP|Jessie|Wobbuffet}} who pops out of its Poké Ball as usual. Gary isn't impressed to see Team Rocket again, who he regards as lame, which annoys the trio to no end. In retaliation to those words, they release the spike of the Gliscor balloon which shoots out and grabs onto Gligar, pulling it in. Ash runs after it and jumps onto the tail, being pulled towards the balloon along with it, much to Team Rocket's annoyance. Ash then calls out Staravia, which is followed by Jessie sending out {{TP|Jessie|Seviper}} to use {{m|Haze}} and {{TP|Jessie|Yanmega}} to use {{m|Silver Wind}}. Seviper appears out of its Poké Ball and releases a dark smoke which blinds Staravia and the others, and it's followed up by Yanmega using its Silver Wind to send it plummeting down to the ground.

[[File:DP085_Gliscor_Bot.png|thumb|left|220px|Team Rocket's Gliscor Bot]]
Soon after, we find Ash and Gligar trapped in a cage with Team Rocket standing nearby their balloon, celebrating their victory. Jessie plans to send for Team Rocket's {{TR|Delibird}} to come pick up Gligar and take it straight to the boss. The three then dig into a large pile of tinned fruit in celebration. While all this is happening, Gary, Dawn and Brock are busy searching for Ash, with Staravia flying above them keeping lookout as the sun sets. Dawn takes note that it's getting dark and they still haven't found Ash and his Pokémon yet. Gary replies that he knows this area like the back of his hand, and there aren't that many places where Team Rocket's balloon could have landed. He begins to lead the way and the others follow right behind him.

Later that night, Team Rocket are sound asleep, which Ash tells Gligar is their chance to escape. Gligar nods, and Ash tells it to use X-Scissor to break open the bars on the cage. Gligar does so, but the attack isn't strong enough, so Ash tells it to use it again but this time with as much power as possible. Gligar fails again however, and its claw starts to glow red with pain. Ash tells it not to worry, and starts to smash into the cage bars himself. Gligar watches this in amazement. Gligar then resolves to try as hard as possible to get out of the cage and starts to use X-Scissor again. This time Ash notices a change in the strength of the bar, as it appears wobbly at the top. At this, Ash tells Gligar that they need to work together to get out, and they both attack the cage bars at the same time, which breaks them open. The two then escape from the clearing where Team Rocket had landed and head out on their way back to the gang. On the way they come across an old, rickety bridge, and Gligar jumps on Ash's back as they try to get across it. The wind makes this difficult, as well as the various holes in the bridge which Ash jumps between. The bridge then falls apart, sending Ash and Gligar falling, but Ash manages to grab a hold of the rope holding the bridge together and merely swings and hits the rock facing.

Back at Team Rocket's camp, James wakes up from a peaceful sleep and is horrified to find Ash and Gligar gone. He then tries to wake up Jessie and Meowth. Back with Ash, we find that he and Gligar have managed to climb their way back up to the top of the cliff. Ash looks around for a way to cross the chasm, and notices a tree near the edge of the cliff not far from where the bridge used to stand. He tells Gligar to try to knock it over, which it tries to but fails. Ash asks Gligar if it's okay, but Gligar simply gets back up and tries again, jumping into the air and smashing into the tree again. This time, Gligar finally succeeds and the tree falls, forming as a bridge between the two cliff edges. Ash is proud of Gligar, and tells it that it's earned the Razor Fang that Gary gave him before. Gligar is overwhelmed with happiness and hugs Ash, but the happy moment is interrupted by Team Rocket who appear in their Gliscor balloon. Ash tells them to leave them alone, but is ignored as Team Rocket is set on stealing Gligar for Giovanni. The Gliscor tail shoots out again, but Ash jumps in the way of it and is captured instead. Holding Gligar in his arms, he tells it that he's going to let it go so it can escape. He then does so, and Gligar falls down below. Ash then falls himself, and falls past Gligar due to being less air-resistant. Gligar notices Ash falling below and dives after him to grab him, but isn't fast enough. Ash throws Gligar the Razor Fang, which Gligar catches, causing it to instantly evolve into {{AP|Gliscor}}. Ash smiles at seeing his Pokémon evolve, but then remembers he's falling and starts to scream uncontrollably. However Gliscor is now a lot faster than before and manages to catch Ash, using its tail to cushion the blow to the ground. Ash thanks his new Gliscor for saving him. Team Rocket then float down from above, and the team seem confident that they can still capture Gligar in its evolved state.

Ash tells Team Rocket that Gliscor belongs to him and isn't going anywhere with them, and then has Gliscor to use X-Scissor, which smashes into the Gliscor balloon tail and knocks it back. At this, Gary, Dawn and Brock run onto the scene and call out to Ash. Dawn is amazed to see that Gligar has evolved, and Brock congratulates it for doing so. Team Rocket then shout out to the group below angry at being ignored, and Meowth sends out the claws of the Gliscor balloon mecha. This is deflected once again by the real Gliscor's X-Scissor attack. Ash then tells it to grab a hold of a tree branch and charge up its power, which it does, before flinging itself of the tree and using Steel Wing aimed at Team Rocket. James smirks, saying that Gliscor can't beat their mecha balloon's power. Meowth then activates the balloon's Steel Wing mode, which emulates the real Pokémon's attack. The two 'Gliscor' face off, both hitting each other at the same time. Ash's Gliscor wins out, and Team Rocket's splits into two halves and falls down to the ground. Meowth gloomily remarks that they won't have a Pokémon to give to Giovanni after all, but Jessie screams at it to help them get the mecha back together again. Ash then tells {{AP|Pikachu}} to use {{m|Thunderbolt}}, which causes the Gliscor balloon to explode and sending Team Rocket blasting off again. The group are relieved to have sent Team Rocket packing, and the sun then rises as if to agree with them. Ash and Gliscor watch the sunrise and give each other a smile, the rift between them healed and with a stronger bond than before.

Soon after, we find Ash, Dawn and Brock saying their goodbyes to Gary. The young researcher seems impressed with Ash, and Ash thanks Gary for the help he has given them, including giving him the Razor Fang earlier. Gary humbly says that he didn't do anything, and Ash was the one who really saved the day, not him. Brock says to Gary that he hopes he can see that Legendary Pokémon at Lake Valor. Gary casually replies, but accidentally rhymes his sentence in the process, causing Dawn to suddenly freak out. When asked what's wrong, she says that what Gary just said sounded just like a poem, but that's to be expected when he's the grandson of a poet. Everybody seems embarrassed by this, but Gary only chuckles and follows it up with another poem, which makes Dawn happy. After that, Gary bids the group farewell, wishing everyone good luck in their goals. They then wave goodbye to him, before heading out on the road to their next adventure.

F.E.A.R.

2016-04-19T21:12:08Z

ArceusVsMew: /* F.E.A.R.-capable Pokémon */

'''F.E.A.R.''' is a last-resort strategy used in competitive battling, normally usable only once per battle. A "F.E.A.R. Pokémon" is a Pokémon compatible with a certain moveset capable of defeating a full-HP opponent at virtually any level (most notably level 100) while it itself is only at level 1 or 2, the reason for this strategy's bragging rights.

F.E.A.R. generally stands for:
*{{DL|In-battle effect item|Focus Sash}}
*{{m|Endeavor}}
*{{m|Quick Attack|(Quick) Attack}}
*{{p|Rattata}} (Rattata are not the only Pokémon that can use F.E.A.R; multiple Pokémon can fit this role.)

The original term, coined by strategists as humor, was "'''F'''***ing '''E'''vil '''A'''nnoying '''R'''odent".

The strategy (and original profanity-laden term) was originally conceived on GameFAQs' Pokémon Diamond [http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/gentopic.php?board=925601 message board] in early 2007.

==How to use F.E.A.R.==
After one of the player's Pokémon faints, the F.E.A.R. Pokémon can be sent out against an opponent's Pokémon with (preferably) full HP. During the first turn, the F.E.A.R. Pokémon will use Endeavor, and the opponent will most likely use an offensive attack to try to defeat the F.E.A.R. Pokémon (assuming, of course, that the opponent isn't aware of this strategy). The F.E.A.R. Pokémon would indeed faint, if it were not holding the Focus Sash, which allows the user to hold on to 1 HP after a hit which would otherwise knock it out from max-HP. When the Pokémon uses Endeavor, the HP of the opponent's Pokémon will equal the HP of its own (which is now, assuming Focus Sash triggered, equal to 1). During the following turn, the F.E.A.R. Pokémon can use Quick Attack to wipe out the remaining 1 HP of the opponent's Pokémon. Focus Sash will not work twice, so a Pokémon can only use this strategy once.

From Generation V onward, the Ability {{a|Sturdy}} was altered to function like a Focus Sash, but can activate multiple times providing the Pokémon regains all of its HP. With this change came new notable users of F.E.A.R.; a level 2 {{p|Probopass}} can use {{m|Pain Split}} to wear down the opponent's HP whilst healing itself, while {{p|Aron}} can use a combination of Endeavor and a held {{DL|In-battle effect item|Shell Bell}} for multiple uses of Endeavor. Generation V also introduced {{p|Solosis}}, a Pokémon able to combine {{a|Magic Guard}} and Endeavor, but also set up {{m|Trick Room}} for its allies.

==Countering F.E.A.R.==
While an impressive strategy, F.E.A.R. is simple to counter. The following are several ways to counter the F.E.A.R. strategy:
* Knowledge: The simplest strategy and perhaps the most effective. If the opponent knows the F.E.A.R. strategy, they won't attack as needed for it to work (a damaging move), or they will switch out for a Pokémon immune to it or easily able to counter it. Besides the other counters listed here, a player could switch out after the opponent's F.E.A.R. uses Endeavor, leaving it with 1 HP and another Pokémon to sweep the F.E.A.R. However, if the F.E.A.R.-using player predicts correctly, this problem can be solved using {{m|Pursuit}}.
* {{t|Ghost}} Pokémon: As Ghost types are immune to {{t|Normal}}- and {{type|Fighting}} attacks, Endeavor and Quick Attack are useless against them.
** It should be noted however, that a F.E.A.R. {{p|Kangaskhan}} or {{p|Taillow}}{{tt|*|Generation V on, Hidden Ability}} with {{a|Scrappy}} will still be able to use Endeavor against a Ghost-type Pokémon.
* A Pokémon with {{m|Quick Attack}}, {{m|Extreme Speed}}, {{m|Sucker Punch}}, {{m|Ice Shard}}, or other automatic, first-hit effects: If the opponent uses an increased-[[priority]] move at the same time as the F.E.A.R. Pokémon does, the large difference in level will almost always result in the opponent's Pokémon landing the hit first, leaving the opponent with little HP, but leaving the F.E.A.R. player with one Pokémon down. However, from Generation V onward, {{m|Feint}} and {{m|Extreme Speed}} have +2 priority, and are not countered by +1 priority moves.
* If the foe acts last due to battling in {{m|Trick Room}}{{tt|*|assuming the foe is faster than the F.E.A.R. Pokémon}}, holding a {{DL|Incense|Full Incense}}, using a decreased-priority move, or doing something similar, its attack will leave the F.E.A.R. Pokémon with approximately 12 hit points after the first turn and the F.E.A.R. Pokémon will only have 1 hit point, causing an easy sweep on the second turn.
* A move that damages foes upon switching in (like {{m|Spikes}} or {{m|Stealth Rock}}) can cancel out the Focus Sash effect, thus causing the foe to be unable to withstand a one-hit KO. This only works if the F.E.A.R. Pokémon isn't released prior to that move.
** Note that Doduo, Taillow, Starly, Togekiss, and Shaymin in its Sky Forme are immune to Spikes.
* Moves, [[status condition]]s, Abilities, and weather that deal damage every turn (like {{weather|sandstorm}} or {{status|burn}}) can cancel out Focus Sash's effect. This can also work without using a turn if a Pokémon like {{p|Tyranitar}} or {{p|Abomasnow}} activates its Ability.
** Note that F.E.A.R. Phanpy, Aron, Corsola, Wormadam (Sandy and Trash Cloaks) and Swinub are immune to sandstorm (and the last one to {{weather|hail}} as well.)
* {{m|Embargo}} and {{m|Magic Room}} prevent the foe from using any item, in this case Focus Sash.
** Do note that, somewhat counter-intuitively, {{m|Knock Off}} will '''NOT''' serve to KO a F.E.A.R. Pokémon if it is at 100% HP unless Embargo is in effect. The F.E.A.R. Pokémon's Focus Sash will be knocked off ''after'' it has been successfully activated, and the Pokémon will still be able to use Endeavor to reduce the foe's HP.
* {{DL|In-battle effect item|Black Sludge}}{{tt|*|in the case of Poison-type foes}}, {{DL|In-battle effect item|Leftovers}}, and a {{stat|HP}}-restoring [[Berry]] return some HP to the user's Pokémon, and more than likely, more than the opposing F.E.A.R. can deal with its increased-priority move.
* F.E.A.R.: Ironically, a way to combat a F.E.A.R. Pokémon is having it face another F.E.A.R. Pokémon (or some other low-level Pokémon). Having roughly the same HP, both F.E.A.R.s would do little damage towards each other. It isn't, however, practical or useful to carry a F.E.A.R. Pokémon just for the sake of combating another F.E.A.R., as both Pokémon are about evenly-matched.
* {{p|Shedinja}} and its {{a|Wonder Guard}} Ability will make Endeavor unable to hit.
** Note that Sucker Punch and {{m|Shadow Sneak}} can be used to KO Shedinja, but only after its probably existent Focus Sash has been activated or otherwise rendered useless.
* [[Multi-strike move]]s, such as {{m|Bullet Seed}} and {{m|Triple Kick}}, will continue hitting after the Focus Sash or Sturdy triggers, causing the strategy to fail.
* In [[Double Battle|Double]] and [[Triple Battle]]s, having multiple Pokémon use moves that will hit the F.E.A.R. Pokémon will cause it to faint, since the Focus Sash will only activate for the first attack. However, {{m|Follow Me}}, {{m|Rage Powder}}, and {{p|Greninja}}'s {{m|Mat Block}} can aid the F.E.A.R. Pokémon.
* Although Sturdy acts like a Focus Sash from Generation V onward, the Abilities {{a|Mold Breaker}}, {{a|Turboblaze}} and {{a|Teravolt}} ignore this effect, countering any attempt to use F.E.A.R. with Sturdy.
* If the F.E.A.R. Pokémon is holding a {{DL|In-battle effect item|Shell Bell}} with the Ability {{a|Sturdy}}, moves which remove or negate items, such as {{m|Magic Room}} or {{m|Trick}}, can disrupt the strategy.
* As Endeavor makes contact, the F.E.A.R. Pokémon can be finished off when its opponent is carrying a {{DL|In-battle effect item|Rocky Helmet}} or has the Ability {{a|Rough Skin}} or {{a|Iron Barbs}}.

== Catching Pokémon with F.E.A.R. ==

By using F.E.A.R. while skipping the priority move, players can lower a target Pokémon's HP to 1, similar to using {{m|False Swipe}}, and more easily catch it than by battling it normally. After the wild Pokémon's HP has been lowered to 1, the player may freely begin throwing [[Poké Ball]]s and have a high chance of successfully capturing the Pokémon. A {{p|Cottonee}} may also inflict a priority paralysis (with {{a|Prankster}}) to further increase the [[catch rate]].

Some users seem to think that ''which'' can replace ''that'' in this instance because I see it often, but this is folly. For instance, the phrasing "The book, which I read last night, was exciting" must use ''which'' and not ''that'', while "The book that I read last night was exciting" is the opposite (but may also omit ''that'' entirely). —[[User:IWannaBeTheVeryBest|The]]Very[[User talk:IWannaBeTheVeryBest|Best]] (UTC) 09:26, 8 May 2014 (UTC)

==New information from Serebii==

we should include this info from todays news: http://www.serebii.net/index2.shtml

"Following its reveal yesterday, there has been some question as to the actual content of Pokémon Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire, as to whether they're remakes or new versions due to the wording of the announcement. During the Investor Briefing today, Satoru Iwata confirmed that Pokémon Omega Ruby & Pokémon Alpha Sapphire are full-remakes of the 2002 releases, Pokémon Ruby & Sapphire. We'll bring more on these games as it comes
Edit @ 15:38: The Japanese arm of The Pokémon Company sent out an e-mail to all Daisuki Club members which ends up pointing out the differences to Groudon & Kyogre on the box-art, stating that they're showcasing "never before seen Pokémon", the same terminology they used for Black & White Kyurem, as well as Mega Mewtwo Y upon their reveal, indicating that they are more than stylised artwork of the Pokémon. We'll bring more on this as it comes"

== Use of the word Remake ==

Should we really use the word "remake" quite yet?

I know from previous patterns, the naming of the games and all that points to remakes, but at this point in time they might just be sequels or new games entirely. They even mention a new world, and the guy who gives the idol mentions a new region, so this might not take place in Hoenn at all.

I'm really just playing devil's advocate here, but we should watch the wording on the article for now. [[User:Yamitora1|Yamitora1]] ([[User talk:Yamitora1|talk]]) 06:59, 9 May 2014 (UTC)

The name of the games is likely a play on the letters theme started with XY (ie. the Greek letters 'Α' and 'Ω'), and the Lithuanian word for weather, [https://translate.google.com/#en/lt/weather Oras] -- weather being one of the prominent elements of RSE.

:It could also be a reference to the phrase "I am the Alpha and the Omega" in the Book of Revelation. Usually the phrase refers to Christ or God and typically is taken as meaning "I am the Beginning and the End". Possibly a hint that the story could involve Pokemon gods in some way. Interesting to note that Arceus is the 'Alpha' Pokemon according to the Pokedex and is the closest thing to a Pokemon 'God' we've seen as it was supposedly the creator of the Pokemon world.

==No evident that Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire are in the Generation VI==
We should at least wait for the announcement of cross-game communication of Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire to be sure if they are indeed Generation VI. And according to this:
:"A generation, in terms of the Pokémon franchise, is a subset of the series that debuted or is set around the same time, focusing on the same region, and featuring the same Pokémon."
I don't think they are Generation VI at all if we go by this definition. We should probably change that. Besides, Generations may be separated by their methods of inter-game communications. I don't think, currently, there is anything we can say about battling or sending Pokemon from or to these games from or to X and Y.

:::It's obviously generation VI. That is a guaranteed fact. Sure, it hasn't been stated, but it doesn't need to be stated. Generation VI is the current generation. Each generation starts with a brand new game in a brand new region with brand new Pokémon. It won't start with a remake. It's only logical that this is a Generation VI game. Also, it's being released on the same generation console as other Gen VI games which further backs up this point. It's Gen VI and although it hasn't been stated, there is enough evidence to make that claim. ☆[[User:Solar Dragon|The]] [[User talk:Solar Dragon|Solar]] [[Special:Contributions/Solar Dragon|Dragon]]☆ 12:36, 10 May 2014 (UTC)

::::: In my honest opinion (although everyones views are different as I can see on here lol) but until Nintendo/GameFreak/Pokemon says it's NOT part of Generation VI, it should be considered Generation VI games until further notice, and also, a lot of clues and hints in Pokemon X and Y further hinted that Pokemon Ruby & Sapphire would be remade, so it makes sense (to me anyways), but also Generation VI is not completed yet (that we know of) as we have seen in all other generations that either a 3rd game (Yellow, Crystal, Emerald, Platinum) or in the case of Generation V (Black 2 and White 2) were released to complete a Generation. And just like Generation III we had Ruby & Sapphire release first followed by FireRed & LeafGreen then Emerald, then in Generation IV we had Diamond, Pearl, Platinum then followed by HeartGold & SoulSilver. So far it seems that Generation VI is following the pattern of Generation III (so far, that is). But mind you, thats just my opinion, but like I said at the start of my "rant" (lol) until Nintendo/GameFreak/Pokemon says it's NOT part of Generation VI, it should still be considered Generation VI until further notice. Demers-Vachon 10:44, 11 May 2014 (UTC)

:::I agree. They never start a generation with remakes. They only start a generation with a new region full of new Pokémon. Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire would more likely focus on the Generation III Pokémon than to introduce new ones. In FireRed and LeafGreen, you only met the original 150 Pokémon before getting the National Pokédex to catch Johto Pokémon and trade with Hoenn for the then-current Pokémon. FireRed LeafGreen didn't introduce any new Pokémon. They only brought back the classic Pokémon. HeartGold and SoulSilver did tweak the Johto Pokédex a bit to include five Gen IV evolutions that resulted from moves (although, I don't get why they didn't just put a move tutor in Kanto.) So HeartGold and SoulSilver didn't introduce any Pokémon. And X and Y had just came out last October. That was only 7 months ago, so if Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire started Generation VII, Gen 6 would be the shortest generation ever. The possibility of Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire starting a new generation is slim. [[User:SeanWheeler|SeanWheeler]] ([[User talk:SeanWheeler|talk]]) 11:16, 11 May 2014 (UTC)

:::::I agree that these should be considered Generation VI, at least until we discover otherwise. While it is possible that we may get a new generation, the odds are incredibly small. Additionally, Pokémon tends to keep all of its media together. Even if X and Y are the only video games in Generation VI, I find it unlikely that Nintendo would push for a Generation VII when Ash Ketchum still has to finish his journey through Kalos in the anime, the Pokémon Adventures X and Y chapter is just getting started, and not even all Generation VI Pokémon have been made available as TCG cards. Heck, we still have yet to see the release of Diancie, Volcanion, and Hoopa in the video games, so even the video games cannot be finished here. Finally, I must correct you on something, SeanWheeler. FireRed and LeafGreen did actually introduce a new Pokémon: Deoxys. There were no events for it prior to the release of FRLG and when the events occurred, it could only be obtained in FRLG, not in Ruby and Sapphire. --[[User:GoldenSandslash15|GoldenSandslash15]] ([[User talk:GoldenSandslash15|talk]]) 22:37, 11 May 2014 (UTC)

Also, please remind me if "Generations" are the official creations or simply how it is defined in the fandom? I think we should judge if certain titles are in a certain generation according to an objective definition. I understand that it is highly probable to see it released as in the Generation VI. But this is not a confirmed fact or official announcement, but a derived theory. -[[User:Iosue|Iosue]] ([[User talk:Iosue|talk]]) 22:52, 11 May 2014 (UTC)
:The term generation has been used by official sources, such as Pokemon.com and the boxes of DP. Several traits that typically signify a new generation are not present, like no new region and no new Pokémon. Frankly, I think this whole argument is pointless. It's obvious that it's going to be released within this generation and at this rate we'll only keep going around in circles. It's really not worth continuing.

::: I agree with what "Pokemaster" had said earlier, this topic is just going around in circles until the games are released in November. I do firmly believe that Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire is part of Generation VI. If those games were to begin Generation VII, then I highly doubt they would have had Ash in Kalos, or if they did, he would have gotten 6 to 7 gym badges by now (more in reference to the Japan episodes that has aired already not the English ones) and from what I have seen, he so far only has one gym badge obtained and caught 2 pokemon (Froakie & Fletchling). But thats just my thoughts about it. Demers-Vachon 08:56, 12 May 2014 (UTC)

::::::It's possible they will add more pokemon, but only gen VI ones, I doubt they'll touch the original gens ones...

It is going in circles and no conclusion can be drawn. This is precisely what I wanted to say: We don't have official confirmation on which Generation this is in. On the page, there is this row: part of Generation VI. It looks like some official words. No matter how logical the derivations are, they are just speculations. There is not any canonical material or announcement making this claim. I have not been questioning its correctness. I have been questioning its validity. -[[User:Iosue|Iosue]] ([[User talk:Iosue|talk]]) 03:14, 14 May 2014 (UTC)

::While there is no concrete 100% proof that it is Generation VI, there is no concrete 100% proof that it is Generation VII either. It could be either one. So the article should use whichever is more likely, which is Generation VI. You may think that we shouldn't make assumptions like that, but you have to remember that Nintendo never said that X and Y were a part of Generation VI. Or any of the other games were part of their respective Generations. So we will never have any official proof, because the very idea of generations is unofficial. (The boxes of Diamond/Pearl did say "A new generation", but that's just marketing crap. It could have just as easily said "a new adventure". And either way, "a new generation" doesn't necessarily mean Generation IV. For all we know, Nintendo classified every game before DP as a single generation, and every game since then is Generation II). This being the case, even when the games come out, it's likely that we won't know what generation to put. It's entirely fan-made. So, we do the logical thing of putting what most fans would classify this as. And in that regard, there's no reason why we can't put Generation VI now. Of course, when the games come out, if we see that there is enough separating it from X and Y, such as incompatibility, new Pokémon, a new region (technically the "Hoenn Confirmed!" meme is wrong - Hoenn has not been confirmed), etc., then fans may choose to reclassify it as Generation VII. If that's the case, we can edit the article at the time to reflect the shift in the fans's views. --[[User:GoldenSandslash15|GoldenSandslash15]] ([[User talk:GoldenSandslash15|talk]]) 03:39, 14 May 2014 (UTC)

I was not questioning if there is any probability of it coming out as Generation VII. I was questioning, even if it is very probable to be Generation VI, the validity is that it is deduced or speculated, even based on many objective observations. But none of the quoted are as valid as an official release. If "Generation" is The Pokemon Company's official terms, we cannot say something is or is not without the company first says so. If, instead, "Generation" is what the fandom creates, "official" means the stance de facto in the fandom, hence, verifiable and objective criteria and definitions. -[[User:Iosue|Iosue]] ([[User talk:Iosue|talk]]) 05:30, 14 May 2014 (UTC)
:We don't need them to flat out state they are part of Generation VI.

Until Nintendo Australia confirms it's release date, I really do think we should change the release date for Australia to '''November 2014'''.[[User:Platinum Lucario|Platinum Lucario]] ([[User talk:Platinum Lucario|talk]]) 18:41, 13 June 2014 (UTC)
:The Australian version of [http://www.pokemonrubysapphire.com/en-au/ the official site] clearly says "Coming November 21, 2014!"--'''[[User:Dennou Zenshi|電禅]][[User talk:Dennou Zenshi|Den Zen]]''' 18:53, 13 June 2014 (UTC)

== Change in infobox ==

Should the info in the infobox be changed from:
"Pokémon Omega Ruby's boxart, featuring Groudon"
to:
"Pokémon Omega Ruby's boxart, featuring Primal Groudon"
and also in the case of Primal Kyogre? Thanks.

== Add trivia section? ==

I have a few things to add now

-These are the second pairs of games to not have "version" at the end.

-These are the second remakes after the Game Corner controversy

-These are the first remakes after the Pokémon Center and Pokémart being merged

I could think of a few more, but these will do.

[[User:SuperShroom63|SuperShroom63]] ([[User talk:SuperShroom63|talk]]) 01:52, 22 June 2014 (UTC)
:The first two aren't notable. In the case of the last one, images seem to have shown that the Poké Mart and Pokémon Center are no longer merged, so imo, it doesn't seem too notable. --[[User:Funktastic~!|'''It's''' '''Funktastic~!''']][[User talk:Funktastic~!|''話してください'']] 01:57, 22 June 2014 (UTC)
::Oh, this is the first pair of remakes with [insert change made in [[Generation V]] or [[Generation VI]]]! Yeah, not too notable. Although, if there were anything that were notable, this will be the first pair of remakes with {{type|Fairy}} Pokémon and [[Mega Evolution]]s. [[User:Black Metal Warrior|Black Metal Warrior]] ([[User talk:Black Metal Warrior|talk]]) 22:53, 2 July 2014 (UTC)
:::FireRed and LeafGreen were the first pair of remakes to have Steel type Pokémon, but we don't note that. It should be obvious.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 23:40, 2 July 2014 (UTC)

== "To" to "for". ==

I noticed the article says "... Steven Stone, the Mach Bike, and the Acro Bike will return '''to''' the first time since...", when I presume that "for" is meant to be in there instead of "to." Would someone fix this for me, please? [[User:Uncle Edit|He's here! The one and only...Uncle Edit!]] ([[User talk:Uncle Edit|talk]]) 03:19, 9 August 2014 (UTC)
:Corrected. Thanks for pointing that out. '''''[[User:Pokemaster97|--Pokemaster]][[User talk:Pokemaster97|97]]''''' 03:26, 9 August 2014 (UTC)

== Not all Mega Evolutions are on this page that have been revealed ==
Mega Salamence, Mega Metagross, Mega Altaria, and Mega Lopunny all need to be mention after Mega Sableye.--[[User:Hydreigonfan1|Hydreigonfan1]] ([[User talk:Hydreigonfan1|talk]]) 11:13, 10 August 2014 (UTC)
:Taken care of. [[User:Berrenta|Berrenta]] ([[User talk:Berrenta|talk]]) 12:43, 10 August 2014 (UTC)
::But they weren't revealed in July issue, only in August, it should be noted in the new paragraph, with the return of Horde Encounters, new Pikachu forms... [[User:Asmod96|Asmod96]] ([[User talk:Asmod96|talk]]) 15:00, 10 August 2014 (UTC)
:::To chime in on this discussion without making another section, it has been a few days since Mega Sharpedo, Mega Gallade, and Mega Camerupt were revealed. Are the admins waiting for confirmation from, for example, Pokemon.com before this makes it into the article? If the CoroCoro leak from this month is enough confirmation, could somebody with access add this to the article? [[User:Superbreeder|Super]][[User talk:Superbreeder|breeder]] 19:27, 15 September 2014 (UTC)

== More Mega Evolutions? ==

Yesterday, the official Pokémon website of Korea accidentally revealed two new mega evolution Pokémon; Mega Slowbro and Mega Audino. Many people like myself questioned if this was real or a scam. It's the official Pokémon site of Korea. More information will come as we get it.
{{unsigned|DJMander}}

== Another Mega Evo Tidbit ==

Sorry to add onto the trend of mentioning the new megas, but currently the paragraph states at least eight Mega Evolutions and then lists ten. I'd fix it myself but of course I can't so could someone just do that for me XD [[User:Azure42|Azure/ChromeVoid42]] ([[User talk:Azure42|talk]]) 18:24, 20 August 2014 (UTC)

== No Steven Stone since Emerald? ==

Um, didn't he appear in B2W2 as a Champion? [[User:Starscream|Starscream]] ([[User talk:Starscream|talk]]) 23:13, 28 August 2014 (UTC)

== Multilingual ==

Could someone add that Nintendo HK and Taiwan have both confirmed the games will (like X/Y) contain all languages on the one card? http://www.nintendo.tw/pressrelease/3ds_20140915oras.htm http://www.nintendo.com.hk/pressrelease/3ds_20140915oras.htm Nowhere seems to have picked up on this, probably because only Nintendo HK/TW bothered to clarify this (since only HK and TW are in a region of their own, without having a local translation). - [[User:BZD|BZD]] ([[User talk:BZD|talk]]) 03:43, 22 September 2014 (UTC)

== Noteworthy Trivia? ==

I know remake trivia is usually ignored, but I think it would be good to add that Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire are the first remakes (Of course, not counting things like Emerald or Platinum) to not feature the original mascot? [[User:ArtistKyurem|ArtistKyurem]] ([[User talk:ArtistKyurem|talk]]) 02:59, 5 October 2014 (UTC)

== Demo version link ==

I think a link to the [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Pokémon Alpha Sapphire Special Demo Version]] should be ''somewhere'' on this page... Maybe just in a See also section at the bottom. Or possibly even as part of [[Template:Core series]]. [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 17:20, 20 November 2014 (UTC)

It looks like in the Blurb section it says "Pikachu likes to display?!" but on the box it says "Pikachu likes to cosplay?!" I assume this is a typo? --[[User:ArceusVsMew|avm :^)]] ([[User talk:ArceusVsMew|talk]]) 19:16, 2 December 2014 (UTC)

'''Sharpedo''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''サメハダー''' ''Samehader'') is a dual-type {{2t|Water|Dark}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolve]]s from {{p|Carvanha}} starting at [[level]] 30. It can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into '''Mega Sharpedo''' using the {{DL|Mega Stone|Sharpedonite‎}}.

==Biology==
Sharpedo is a torpedo-shaped shark Pokémon covered with tiny, sharp {{wp|denticles}}. It has a large mouth filled with triangular, sharp teeth. Its eyes are a deep red color and glow in the dark. It has two gill slits situated directly behind each eye. It is mostly dark blue with a white underbelly. There is a yellow star-shaped marking on its snout, and another star marking on its rear. It has a tall {{wp|dorsal fin}} with two notches cut into it, with a {{wp|Fish anatomy#Fins|pelvic fin}} directly opposite it. Its two pectoral fins are arranged so that they resemble the fins on the back of a torpedo.

Sharpedo can shoot out a jet of water, which allows it to swim 75 to 80 miles per hour. However, it is unable to swim long distances. It is feared and known as Bully of the Sea, or Gangs of the Sea as a group, due to its sharp teeth. Its fangs can rip through iron and steel, being able to tear apart a supertanker into pieces. When its fangs fall out, they grow back immediately. It lives in the {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Sea Pokémon|sea.}}

As Mega Sharpedo, the fangs in its mouth have transformed, and the horns that have sprouted from its nose can be regrown countless times. The yellow patterns on its body are scars carved into it in battle. With explosive propulsion, it can exceed 125mph in an instant.

==Trivia==
* On April Fool's Day, 2002, Mizuado, a {{2t|Steel|Water}} hammerhead shark Pokémon was "revealed", but it turned out to be a {{pkmn2|fake}}. This Pokémon was also sometimes called Samehadaa, which is similar to Sharpedo's Japanese name.
* Sharpedo shares its [[species]] name with {{p|Hydreigon}}. They are both known as the Brutal Pokémon.
* In a demo version of Ruby and Sapphire shown at Pokémon Festa 2002 in Japan, players started with a level 12 Sharpedo with no Ability. This was most likely done for the purpose of the demo only.
* Sharpedo's evolutionary line can be seen as a parallel to {{p|Camerupt}}'s family. Both of them are dual-type Pokémon, both lines have identical base stat totals per evolutionary stage, both of their final evolutions are used by [[Team Aqua]] Leader [[Archie]] and [[Team Magma]] Leader [[Maxie]], respectively, and both of their final evolutions can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]].
* In [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness]], there is an area called [[Sharpedo Bluff]].

===Origin===
Sharpedo is based on a {{wp|shark}} with the body of a {{wp|torpedo}}. It also looks like a shark that has been cut in half. Its general body shape is also similar to an {{wp|ocean sunfish}}. Both fish are known for their sandpaper-like skin.

====Name origin====
Sharpedo is a combination of ''{{wp|shark}}'' and ''{{wp|torpedo}}''. It may also involve ''sharp'', referring to its fins and {{a|Rough Skin}} Ability.

Samehader may be a combination of 鮫 ''same'' (shark) and 肌荒れ ''hada-are'' (rough skin). It may also be a corruption of 鮫肌 ''samehada'' (rough skin), referring to its Ability.

For instance, the phrasing "The book, which I read last night, was exciting" must use ''which'' and not ''that'', while "The book that I read last night was exciting" is the opposite (but may also omit ''that'' entirely). —[[User:IWannaBeTheVeryBest|The]]Very[[User talk:IWannaBeTheVeryBest|Best]] (UTC) 09:26, 8 May 2014 (UTC)

==New information from Serebii==

we should include this info from todays news: http://www.serebii.net/index2.shtml

"Following its reveal yesterday, there has been some question as to the actual content of Pokémon Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire, as to whether they're remakes or new versions due to the wording of the announcement.

We'll bring more on these games as it comes
Edit @ 15:38: The Japanese arm of The Pokémon Company sent out an e-mail to all Daisuki Club members which ends up pointing out the differences to Groudon & Kyogre on the box-art, stating that they're showcasing "never before seen Pokémon", the same terminology they used for Black & White Kyurem, as well as Mega Mewtwo Y upon their reveal, indicating that they are more than stylised artwork of the Pokémon.

== Use of the word Remake ==

Should we really use the word "remake" quite yet?

I know from previous patterns, the naming of the games and all that points to remakes, but at this point in time they might just be sequels or new games entirely. They even mention a new world, and the guy who gives the idol mentions a new region, so this might not take place in Hoenn at all.

I'm really just playing devil's advocate here, but we should watch the wording on the article for now. [[User:Yamitora1|Yamitora1]] ([[User talk:Yamitora1|talk]]) 06:59, 9 May 2014 (UTC)

=='Oras' is the Lithuanian word for 'Weather'==
The name of the games is likely a play on the letters theme started with XY (ie. the Greek letters 'Α' and 'Ω'), and the Lithuanian word for weather, [https://translate.google.com/#en/lt/weather Oras] -- weather being one of the prominent elements of RSE. Sounds like a interesting fact to add to the Trivia section. --[[User:Ash Pokemaster|Ash Pokemaster]] ([[User talk:Ash Pokemaster|talk]]) 13:07, 9 May 2014 (UTC)

:It could also be a reference to the phrase "I am the Alpha and the Omega" in the Book of Revelation. Usually the phrase refers to Christ or God and typically is taken as meaning "I am the Beginning and the End". Possibly a hint that the story could involve Pokemon gods in some way. Interesting to note that Arceus is the 'Alpha' Pokemon according to the Pokedex and is the closest thing to a Pokemon 'God' we've seen as it was supposedly the creator of the Pokemon world. Perhaps we might see the 'Omega' Pokemon, or in other words, the 'End' or destroyer. (Basically the Pokemon Satan) - [[User:PsychoP|PsychoP]] ([[User talk:PsychoP|talk]]) 18:01, 11 May 2014 (UTC)

Idk, better wait for CoroCoro. {{unsigned|Espurr101}}

I think Bob Ross said it best, and what we have on our hands here is "a little happy mistake." It's just pure coincidence I am sure. Also Delta Emerald has been registered, and if they broke the mold and released that, it would be ORASDE which means nothing at all.

==No evident that Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire are in the Generation VI==
We should at least wait for the announcement of cross-game communication of Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire to be sure if they are indeed Generation VI. And according to this:
:"A generation, in terms of the Pokémon franchise, is a subset of the series that debuted or is set around the same time, focusing on the same region, and featuring the same Pokémon."
I don't think they are Generation VI at all if we go by this definition. We should probably change that. Besides, Generations may be separated by their methods of inter-game communications. I don't think, currently, there is anything we can say about battling or sending Pokemon from or to these games from or to X and Y.

:::It's obviously generation VI. That is a guaranteed fact. Sure, it hasn't been stated, but it doesn't need to be stated. Generation VI is the current generation. Each generation starts with a brand new game in a brand new region with brand new Pokémon. It won't start with a remake. It's only logical that this is a Generation VI game. Also, it's being released on the same generation console as other Gen VI games which further backs up this point. It's Gen VI and although it hasn't been stated, there is enough evidence to make that claim. ☆[[User:Solar Dragon|The]] [[User talk:Solar Dragon|Solar]] [[Special:Contributions/Solar Dragon|Dragon]]☆ 12:36, 10 May 2014 (UTC)

::::: In my honest opinion (although everyones views are different as I can see on here lol) but until Nintendo/GameFreak/Pokemon says it's NOT part of Generation VI, it should be considered Generation VI games until further notice, and also, a lot of clues and hints in Pokemon X and Y further hinted that Pokemon Ruby & Sapphire would be remade, so it makes sense (to me anyways), but also Generation VI is not completed yet (that we know of) as we have seen in all other generations that either a 3rd game (Yellow, Crystal, Emerald, Platinum) or in the case of Generation V (Black 2 and White 2) were released to complete a Generation. And just like Generation III we had Ruby & Sapphire release first followed by FireRed & LeafGreen then Emerald, then in Generation IV we had Diamond, Pearl, Platinum then followed by HeartGold & SoulSilver. So far it seems that Generation VI is following the pattern of Generation III (so far, that is). But mind you, thats just my opinion, but like I said at the start of my "rant" (lol) until Nintendo/GameFreak/Pokemon says it's NOT part of Generation VI, it should still be considered Generation VI until further notice. Demers-Vachon 10:44, 11 May 2014 (UTC)

:::I agree. They never start a generation with remakes. They only start a generation with a new region full of new Pokémon. Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire would more likely focus on the Generation III Pokémon than to introduce new ones. In FireRed and LeafGreen, you only met the original 150 Pokémon before getting the National Pokédex to catch Johto Pokémon and trade with Hoenn for the then-current Pokémon. FireRed LeafGreen didn't introduce any new Pokémon. They only brought back the classic Pokémon. HeartGold and SoulSilver did tweak the Johto Pokédex a bit to include five Gen IV evolutions that resulted from moves (although, I don't get why they didn't just put a move tutor in Kanto.) So HeartGold and SoulSilver didn't introduce any Pokémon. And X and Y had just came out last October. That was only 7 months ago, so if Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire started Generation VII, Gen 6 would be the shortest generation ever. The possibility of Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire starting a new generation is slim. [[User:SeanWheeler|SeanWheeler]] ([[User talk:SeanWheeler|talk]]) 11:16, 11 May 2014 (UTC)

:::::I agree that these should be considered Generation VI, at least until we discover otherwise. While it is possible that we may get a new generation, the odds are incredibly small. Additionally, Pokémon tends to keep all of its media together. Even if X and Y are the only video games in Generation VI, I find it unlikely that Nintendo would push for a Generation VII when Ash Ketchum still has to finish his journey through Kalos in the anime, the Pokémon Adventures X and Y chapter is just getting started, and not even all Generation VI Pokémon have been made available as TCG cards. Heck, we still have yet to see the release of Diancie, Volcanion, and Hoopa in the video games, so even the video games cannot be finished here. Finally, I must correct you on something, SeanWheeler. FireRed and LeafGreen did actually introduce a new Pokémon: Deoxys. There were no events for it prior to the release of FRLG and when the events occurred, it could only be obtained in FRLG, not in Ruby and Sapphire. --[[User:GoldenSandslash15|GoldenSandslash15]] ([[User talk:GoldenSandslash15|talk]]) 22:37, 11 May 2014 (UTC)

Also, please remind me if "Generations" are the official creations or simply how it is defined in the fandom? I think we should judge if certain titles are in a certain generation according to an objective definition. I understand that it is highly probable to see it released as in the Generation VI. But this is not a confirmed fact or official announcement, but a derived theory. -[[User:Iosue|Iosue]] ([[User talk:Iosue|talk]]) 22:52, 11 May 2014 (UTC)
:The term generation has been used by official sources, such as Pokemon.com and the boxes of DP. Several traits that typically signify a new generation are not present, like no new region and no new Pokémon. Frankly, I think this whole argument is pointless. It's obvious that it's going to be released within this generation and at this rate we'll only keep going around in circles. It's really not worth continuing.

::: I agree with what "Pokemaster" had said earlier, this topic is just going around in circles until the games are released in November. I do firmly believe that Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire is part of Generation VI. If those games were to begin Generation VII, then I highly doubt they would have had Ash in Kalos, or if they did, he would have gotten 6 to 7 gym badges by now (more in reference to the Japan episodes that has aired already not the English ones) and from what I have seen, he so far only has one gym badge obtained and caught 2 pokemon (Froakie & Fletchling). But thats just my thoughts about it. Demers-Vachon 08:56, 12 May 2014 (UTC)

::::::It's possible they will add more pokemon, but only gen VI ones, I doubt they'll touch the original gens ones...

[[User:ADCK|ADCK]] ([[User talk:ADCK|talk]]) 01:55, 14 May 2014 (UTC)

It is going in circles and no conclusion can be drawn. This is precisely what I wanted to say: We don't have official confirmation on which Generation this is in. On the page, there is this row: part of Generation VI. It looks like some official words. No matter how logical the derivations are, they are just speculations. There is not any canonical material or announcement making this claim. I have not been questioning its correctness. I have been questioning its validity. -[[User:Iosue|Iosue]] ([[User talk:Iosue|talk]]) 03:14, 14 May 2014 (UTC)

::While there is no concrete 100% proof that it is Generation VI, there is no concrete 100% proof that it is Generation VII either. It could be either one. So the article should use whichever is more likely, which is Generation VI. You may think that we shouldn't make assumptions like that, but you have to remember that Nintendo never said that X and Y were a part of Generation VI. Or any of the other games were part of their respective Generations. So we will never have any official proof, because the very idea of generations is unofficial. (The boxes of Diamond/Pearl did say "A new generation", but that's just marketing crap. It could have just as easily said "a new adventure". And either way, "a new generation" doesn't necessarily mean Generation IV. For all we know, Nintendo classified every game before DP as a single generation, and every game since then is Generation II). This being the case, even when the games come out, it's likely that we won't know what generation to put. It's entirely fan-made. So, we do the logical thing of putting what most fans would classify this as. And in that regard, there's no reason why we can't put Generation VI now. Of course, when the games come out, if we see that there is enough separating it from X and Y, such as incompatibility, new Pokémon, a new region (technically the "Hoenn Confirmed!" meme is wrong - Hoenn has not been confirmed), etc., then fans may choose to reclassify it as Generation VII. If that's the case, we can edit the article at the time to reflect the shift in the fans's views. --[[User:GoldenSandslash15|GoldenSandslash15]] ([[User talk:GoldenSandslash15|talk]]) 03:39, 14 May 2014 (UTC)

I was not questioning if there is any probability of it coming out as Generation VII. I was questioning, even if it is very probable to be Generation VI, the validity is that it is deduced or speculated, even based on many objective observations. But none of the quoted are as valid as an official release. If "Generation" is The Pokemon Company's official terms, we cannot say something is or is not without the company first says so. If, instead, "Generation" is what the fandom creates, "official" means the stance de facto in the fandom, hence, verifiable and objective criteria and definitions. -[[User:Iosue|Iosue]] ([[User talk:Iosue|talk]]) 05:30, 14 May 2014 (UTC)
:We don't need them to flat out state they are part of Generation VI.

::Even though Game Freak/Nintendo may or may not use the "Delta Emerald" trademark, I think it warrants some sort of mention (a single sentence would suffice, and there are [http://www.ign.com/articles/2014/05/29/pokemon-delta-emerald-trademark-surfaces other sources]/[http://mynintendonews.com/2014/05/29/nintendo-trademarks-pokemon-delta-emerald/ websites] covering it as well), primarily due to the term apparently being registered around the same time as "OmegaRuby/AlphaSapphire" (and it is the only trademark that is a feasible parallel to the OmegaRuby/AlphaSapphire names with the "Greek letter + precious gemstone" construct). I personally think ''WaterBlue'' merits a similar mention -- due to its same-time registration with ''FireRed/LeafGreen'' (and being the closest parallel to those terms with the "element + color" construct) and the matter that Game Freak actually addressed the "LeafGreen title retaining" issue at one point.

Well, I found the actual glitch for the Icirrus gym glitch. However, since I had no access to a camcorder at the time, Zowayixx created a video. I later recorded my own glitch and put it on this page, but someone keeps reverting it back. I did discover that glitch.(see Zow's video description) [[User:Pupcakepup|Pupcakepup]] 15:36, 17 July 2011 (UTC)

== Double battle glitch ==

I encountered this one glitch today in White, or so I think it's a glitch, and was wondering if it could be investigated into and maybe added. I was in a double battle, and both of my Pokemon had fainted on the exact same turn. I went to 'Shift' my Beartic out. But when I went to pick my second choice, which was a healthy Emboar, it wouldn't let me. I tried the other healthy Pokemon, and nothing. It kept telling me "____ cannot be sent out" despite them being perfectly healthy. In the end, it wouldn't let me send out anything, and I was basically just stuck there and forced to turn off the DS. So yeah, that's it. [[User:Rai Marshall|Rai Marshall]] 05:27, 24 July 2011 (UTC)

::From memory, I believe you have to select which Pokémon you wish to exchange it with. it isn't a glitch just a bit counter-intuitive.

:::::Ill see if I can explain. This occurs if the two simultaneous fainting pokemon are in the first and second slot. In order to fix it, select one of your pokemon that isnt knocked out. At the Summery/Check moves/Shift screen, hit "Shift" as normal. You will be returned to the main pokemon selection screen. At this point, tap the fainted first-slot pokemon. This will shift the non-fainted pokemon into the first slot, as if you had changed its order out of battle. At this point you can proceed normally. Hope that cleared it up.

Hey, I've just encountered a glitch while on the BS. I was using my Dusknoir and Banette (Dream World abilities) in the Double Train and used Curse and Toxic on the foe Ducklett.

I was battling the elite four trying to evolve yanma, and he had already leveled up so i switched him out so he would stop getting exp. and an attack that should have killed him didn't and he was left with 1 hp but i couldn't attack or switch out or use items or anything so i had to turn my 3ds off. this happened again today when i was training a duskull to evolve and i was trying to purposely lose so i could check on a pokemon in gts but the game acted like he fainted but he had 1 hp left and i switched to my volcarona and the game froze. sorry for no capitalization or punctuation im just typing this really fast.

== Walk through NPCs glitch ==

I was playing Pokemon White on the school bus and I accidently walked through a NPC.
It happened when I walked onto the same spot as someone else at the exact same time as they did.
It happened twice, actually, once with the guy in the house on route 14, and once with the old lady that tells stories
in Lacunosa town, but inside of the house.
The NPCs did not move, but I could walk out of them. Also, there isn't any way to do this glitch other than just timing it right.

== Wrong Pokemon Glitch? ==

Hi guys. I found a glitch where if you hatch a traded level 1 Zorua in the front of your party, have an Archen at the back of your party, and enter a wild Pokemon battle, the Zorua will be called "Archen" and have Archen's sprite, but still function as Zorua.

That's Zorua's ability, [[Illusion]]. [[User:Yamiidenryuu|Yamiidenryuu]] 23:23, 11 March 2012 (UTC)

== PP Glitch ==

I found a glitch in Pokémon White where if you replace a move with less PP than the move the Pokémon is trying to learn, then the new move will only have that much PP until you heal it at the Pokémon Center. For example, if you get rid of Sheer Cold, which has 5 PP, and replace it with Surf, which has 15 PP, Surf's PP will be 5/15 instead of 15/15 until you heal at a Pokémon Center. Is this worth mentioning? It can happen with any move. ([[User:Charizard101|Charizard101]] 23:19, 7 April 2012 (UTC))

== Is this considered a Glitch? ==

When leveling up against the Elite Four, in the middle of the battle the Pokémon I am leveling up has a messed up HP level. For example, instead of saying HP 150/150, It would say HP 151/150. If my Pokémon does not have the ability Sturdy, and then is KO'd by a Pokémon; it will freeze my game and say that the Pokémon has fainted with 1 HP remaining.

==Bronzong "glitch"==

The fact that Bronzong's eyes flash when on the field but not in the summary or Pokedex screens is not a glitch. If you'll notice, Pokemon will always blink randomly on the field but only perform their set animations elsewhere. This likely isn't a glitch because the blinking is random and an addition to the Pokemon's set animation; it is likely a mechanic that is intentionally activated only during battle.

The flashing of Bronzong's eyes IS its blinking. It just can't close its eyes as most Pokemon can, so they flash white. That runs on the same generator that causes Pokemon's eyes to randomly blink in battle but not in the summary or Pokedex. It is not a glitch. [[User:Kianglo|Kianglo]] 02:15, 28 May 2012 (UTC)

:I can see the reasoning behind [[User:Kianglo|Kianglo]]'s view on the 'glitch'. If one were to look at spritesheets for the Pokemon in Gen V, there are several 'parts' that make up the whole sprite and some are stored differently (see here for example: http://spriters-resource.com/ds/pokemonblackwhite/sheet/34139 ). One of the main parts stored differently are the Pokemon's eyes, which is used for making them close when put to sleep. Because it's independent from the main sprite we'd see, different things can be applied to them during battle or out of battle, such as blinking.

:In short I'd like to second that this isn't a glitch, but rather just differing sprite behavior. [[User:Chicobo329|Chicobo329]] 05:35, 28 May 2012 (UTC)

:Nope, it's all glitches: some may be more minor than others, but it's all glitches! Once a list of minor glitches used to exist on Bulbapedia, but then it was deleted and now it redirects to [[Glitch]]. I think such thing happened because of controversy about how to tell one from another, and also, this page is supposed to show all the glitches, but with the main ones (not meaning that all the other ones shoulkd be considered minor) being on a separate article, redirected to as the main page on the section from here.

:<s>Just don't be ridiculous!</s> Yeah, it also happens to me a lot, but not because it's a glitch.

For me, it either happens when I drop my DS, or when I take out the card during gameplay.
Talking of dropping DS's, I accidentally dropped mine out of the top bunk. Big cracks appeared on the top screen and then some big black blotches appeared. I actually got really sad and started crying like a 2 yr old with its hand cut off.

There a possible glitch that's being talked about that I've seen where Breeders battle you every time leave re-enter a route eg Route 4. Is this a glitch or simply a characteristic of the trainer?

== Glitches or features? ==
I'm not sure that all of the things listed here would actually count as glitches. For instance, the "N glitch" doesn't seem like a glitch at all; rather, it's very likely that Game Freak didn't intend for you to get into battles or leave the area until you'd finished with N. The "Biker speed bug" is debatable; it could very well be a feature to prevent the player from just running to evade Trainers (similarly to how trainers who rotate in place do so faster when running). --[[User:AndyPKMN|AndyPKMN]] [[User talk:AndyPKMN|(talk)]] 13:38, 7 November 2012 (UTC)
:The "N glitch" is my fault since I thought at the time that you were stuck with N following the player if N appeared in two spots. (I will fix that in a bit though it would be nice if an english video can be found.) --[[User:Super goku|Super goku]] ([[User talk:Super goku|talk]]) 20:23, 7 November 2012 (UTC)
::I've said before that the "B-button glitches" in general likely aren't glitches- there's trainers in most of the games that look right at you if you try to run past them. It's not even the B-button that does it, since auto-run in HGSS will get their attention as well. BW just expanded on it. [[User:Yamiidenryuu|Yamiidenryuu]] ([[User talk:Yamiidenryuu|talk]]) 01:14, 8 November 2012 (UTC)
:::The only thing that stops me short on the B button glitch is that it happens even if you press B without moving anywhere. If you just hold B while standing still there will still be a speed increase. And this behavior only happens with certain NPC types rather than all of them. This doesn't seem like consistent behavior to me and it reminds me a lot of a similar run-button bug in the Earthbound Zero US prototype/Mother 1+2 compilation. Not having encounters while N is with is likely because N has no backsprite and entering a battle with him following you can potentially mess up the game or cause strange behavior; this makes it more of a failsafe rather than a glitch.[[User:Chicobo329|Chicobo329]] ([[User talk:Chicobo329|talk]]) 06:59, 8 November 2012 (UTC)
::::(N glitch - Two Ns can appear. If this occurs, then it appears that the player is stuck as N will not be able to leave and the player cannot leave. See the video for more information.) <-- That is the best I can explain what the N Glitch should mean. Maybe it should be renamed something else to help since N glitch wasn't a good choice now that I think about it. --[[User:Super goku|Super goku]] ([[User talk:Super goku|talk]]) 01:39, 9 November 2012 (UTC)

== OT Change Glitch? ==
Along time ago when Black and White first came out, I was visiting my cousin and we were both playing Black. (English version BTW). I was around Pinwheel forest while she was already at Route 4. We were playing around, and we would catch Pokemon, give them weird nicknames and trade them to each other. Later when I came home my brother was looking at the Pokemon my cousin traded to me. I was telling him she caught them, but he said "No, they're yours, it says that the OT is you" and I was like what? Sure enough, two of the Pokemon my cousin traded to me had me as the OT. It didn't make sense since I wasn't at that part of the game yet, and she gave them the nicknames. I was able to rename them in my game too, and they didn't get boosted EXP. the two Pokemon were Sandile and Darumaka. I think this glitch only appeared on my game and I don't think it happened on my cousin's. We have both restarted our games by now and the Pokemon are gone, but I still find this really odd. Nothing has happened like this since.
Tl;dr, the Pokemon my cousin traded to me somehow got the OT and ID switched to mine. --[[User:Ondelez46regigigas|Ondelez46regigigas]] ([[User talk:Ondelez46regigigas|talk]]) 06:14, 14 November 2012 (UTC)

== "Biker Speed Glitch" not a glitch ==

As far as I can tell, the "Biker Speed Glitch" is not a glitch at all. It only happens with trainers who are either actively playing a sport (the smashers and hoopsters at the Village Bridge) or are on some sort of vehicle (bikers and cyclists). This suggests, to me at least, that it is a feature, to make it seem like the bikers are speeding up and the people playing sports are running faster at the same time you do.

Besides, the effect is incredibly obvious, so I would think it would be one of the first things fixed for Black and White 2 if it was a glitch.--[[User:Pkmn|Pkmn]] ([[User talk:Pkmn|talk]]) 07:14, 6 January 2013 (UTC)

: I really don't know why there's such a debate over this particular glitch. People against the idea that it's a glitch say it's just a way to make it harder for players to avoid the trainers. However the fact they exhibit this abnormal behavior when you hold B, even while sitting still (this is important!), suggest otherwise. There have been games with NPC speed glitches related to a run button before, the best example off the top of my head is Mother/Earthbound Zero. [[User:Chicobo329|Chicobo329]] ([[User talk:Chicobo329|talk]]) 11:11, 7 January 2013 (UTC)
::The bike speed behaviour alone does appear to be a glitch; however, when you see that there are all these other B button behaviours, many of which are complex enough that they couldn't be unintentional (such as the Celestial Tower Trainers skipping facing the wall and all the different ways the Wellspring Cave Trainers respond to the B button), there is sufficient evidence that the cyclists speeding up due to pressing B is intentional. Even if it is, it is better to assume things are not glitches until there is sufficient reason to believe so. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 15:55, 7 January 2013 (UTC)

==2 New PokéStar Studios glitches==

Excuse me for my lack of wikicode knowledge, but I have discovered 2 new glitches, which are:
*1st, PokéStar Studios U-turn/Volt Switch glitch: When the Pokémon uses U-turn/Volt Switch in a film instead of giving the message "(Pokémon)-went-back-to-(Trainer's name)." it will say instead "(Pokémon)-went-back-to--." (I used - for spaces to show that the name becomes a blank space). This happens whether or not the name is changed in the film. I do not know if this happens with Baton Pass.
*2nd, PokéStar Studios Illusion glitch: When doing a film where your name is based off of the lead Pokémon name, you aloud bring 2 or more Pokémon, and you bring a Pokémon with the ability Illusion in the lead, then the name will change 1-3 times in the film. Times that the name changes are: when the battle starts(becomes copied Pokémon's name), when Illusion is broken (becomes the Pokémon who is using Illusion), when a line choice comes up (becomes copied Pokémon again), and at the end of the film (becomes the name of the Pokémon on the field). The film preview, the film intro, and the credits will still show the correct name though. [[User:TrainerX493|TrainerX493]] ([[User talk:TrainerX493|talk]]) 19:48, 20 February 2013 (UTC)

ArceusVsMew: /* Double Battle fainted Pokémon glitch */

This is a '''list of glitches''' that occur in the [[Generation V]] [[main series]] [[Pokémon games]].
==In Pokémon Black and White==

===Café Warehouse glitch===
The tiles on the center and right of the door on the inside of the Café Warehouse say "It looks like a cabinet full of Pokémon goods." when the A Button is pressed while facing them.

===Double Battle fainted Pokémon glitch===
{{incomplete|section|checking if it occurs in B2W2}}
If the player is in a Double Battle and both Pokémon faint at the same time, they cannot switch Pokémon out. The player selects one Pokémon, then selects another, and when it is shifted out, the game says the Pokémon cannot be switched out. This causes the player to reset the game.

===Card Album cry glitch===
{{incomplete|section|checking if it occurs in B2W2}}
If the player has a Wonder Card for a Pokémon in the first slot on the next page, moves the cursor to "Exit" and taps the screen, the cry of the first card on that page will be heard.

===Dreamyard invisible wall glitch===
The row of tiles immediately west of the staircase to the [[Dreamyard]]'s basement cannot be walked on, despite these type of tiles being able to be walked on in other locations.

===Fainted Pokémon glitch===
{{incomplete|section|cause; checking if it occurs in B2W2}}
Sometimes in a battle a Pokémon will survive a would-be one-hit KO with one {{stat|HP}} left, but will still [[Fainting|faint]]. This occurs more often to low level Pokémon.

In a [[Single Battle]], this prevents the player from switching out Pokémon or attack. The only way out of this is to reset the game.


In a [[Rotation Battle]], the Pokémon can still be rotated out to a different Pokémon.

===Gear Station glitch===
{{incomplete|section|checking if it occurs in B2W2}}
When returning to Gear Station after riding a train from a location other than Gear Station, the location name "Gear Station" is not displayed until entering the center of the station, despite the platform itself being considered to be Gear Station by the game. This includes when the player reaches the rest area after seven wins in a row, since it is considered to be the [[Battle Subway]] by the game, but all other parts of the Battle Subway do not trigger this.

===GTS freeze glitch===
{{incomplete|section|checking if it occurs in B2W2}}
This glitch appears to happen when the game does not display the sprites of Trainers that have the sought Pokémon for trade. When selecting a Trainer after an empty space the [[game freeze]]s. Tapping on a Trainer after a space will cause the game to display that an error has occurred.

{{youtubevid|DKKAjdlF7Kk|wtfhloser|normal}}

===GTS morphing glitch===
{{main|Global Terminal#Morphing glitch|Global Terminal}}

{{youtubevid|k0VFZvtyBbc|wtfhloser|normal}}

===Gym Leader music glitch===
{{incomplete|section|checking if it occurs in B2W2}}
If the player is in the middle of a move that inflicts damage over several turns consecutively (such as {{m|Rollout}}) and the [[Gym Leader]] sends out their last Pokémon, the battle music will not change until after the duration of the move ends. This is because the Gym Leader does not come out to speak, which is what cues the music change.

{{youtubevid|HfNG6yPQpL8|chicobo329|Flying}}

===Landing on person or item===
When {{m|Surf}}ing, by moving towards a tile directly adjacent to an NPC or item that is adjacent to [[water tile|water]], then pressing the D-pad to dismount onto the NPC or item, the player will be standing on top of it. However, this won't occur if the person is moving.

{{youtubevid|1Z6LeM3Pq5w|mmxmm246|Water}}

===Liberty Garden Fly glitch===
When selecting Liberty Garden while using Fly, its green dot is filled red as if it could be flown to, unlike other locations represented by the same symbol. This indicates that it may have been intended to be a location which could be flown to in the [[beta]] versions.

In the [[Pokémon Black and White Versions 2|sequels]] however, all locations marked by green squares turn red.

===Nacrene Gym bookcase glitch===
After the bookcase in [[Nacrene Gym]] has been moved to reveal the secret stairs, it is still possible to read the book on the bookshelf from the stepladder. If the player stands on the stepladder, [[Saving|saves]], then resets, upon resuming it is possible to read the book as if the bookcase had not moved. It is possible to do this until the player leaves the room.

{{youtubevid|XlrPJPUCUv0|Zowayixx|Normal}}

===Nimbasa Gym Trainer glitch===
In Japanese versions of {{game|Black and White|s}}, if the player loses to {{tc|Lady}} Colette in [[Nimbasa Gym]] while directly facing her when encountered, this glitch will occur. When the player comes back in she will be standing on the same spot and will battle the player. After she is defeated, she still remains on the tracks of the roller coaster, and can be passed through while riding the roller coaster to [[Elesa]].

{{youtubevid|VD1HxV0Q9mQ|NaiJPC|Electric}}

===Opelucid Gym air walk glitch===
[[File:Opelucid Gym glitch.png|thumb|The player floating one tile to the north of the slope]]
On the sloping part of the path before the first dragon's tail in [[Opelucid Gym]], the two tiles directly up and down can be walked on, leaving the player walking on the air.
{{-}}

===Opelucid Gym pedestal glitch===
In front of both of the "certified Trainers" pedestals in the [[Opelucid Gym]] is an empty tile that cannot be walked on. This tile is considered by the game to be the pedestal and can be interacted with rather than the pedestal itself, and acts just like it. Despite this, the space taken by the visible pedestal cannot be walked on.

===Opelucid Gym shadowed tiles glitch===
In Opelucid Gym, all of the tiles behind the [[warp tile]] behind the [[Gym Leader]] can't be walked on.

===Relic Castle glitch===
On B3F of the [[Relic Castle]] near the drop point from the hole closest to the correct drop point to B2F there is a non-solid wall tile. It is on the wall one tile to the left of the wall directly to the south of this drop point.

{{youtubevid|bOLcm3SbC38|GamingMasterErnest|ground}}

===Sitrus Berry glitch===
If a Pokémon holding a [[Sitrus Berry]] hurts itself from confusion and reaches under half of its max HP through the damage, then its Sitrus Berry will not activate until another form of damage is dealt.

===Sky Drop glitch===
{{main|Sky Drop glitch}}
Due to this glitch, the move Sky Drop was banned in Wi-Fi Random Matches starting November 10, 2010.

This glitch can only occur in [[Double Battle|Double]] and [[Triple Battle]]s. It is activated when Gravity is used while two Pokémon are in the semi-invulnerable state after Sky Drop is used. Gravity will bring the user of Sky Drop down while the target will be stuck in the semi-invulnerable state, unable to move until it is knocked out.

===Text speed glitch===
An old woman in [[Driftveil City]] talks one text speed slower than the selected text speed. If the text speed is set to slow, she speaks even slower than usual in the slow speed setting. This is due to her missing a large section of code, and is not intentional.

{{youtubevid|I40tO6KokoM|Zowayixx|White}}

===TM67 Retaliate glitch===
[[File:TM67 Retaliate glitch.png|frame|Menu screen of TM67 in the Japanese versions]]
In Japanese versions of {{game|Black and White|s}}, {{TM|67|Retaliate}} appears as a {{type|Dark}} TM, despite the move being {{type|Normal}}.
{{-}}

===Trick Room glitch===
{{incomplete|section|checking if it occurs in B2W2}}
If a Pokémon has an effective speed greater than 1809, it will ignore the effects of {{m|Trick Room}} and act before slower Pokémon.

{{youtubevid|TmZHKZJMnBc|NaiJPC|speed}}

===Walking Trainer glitch===
When blocking the path of certain Trainers who walk in a loop, if their path is blocked at a corner so that they cannot change direction, they will continue walking in the direction they were slowly and without turning, so as to appear to be walking into nothing but behaving as if they are walking into a wall.

{{youtubevid|NMvSGFzN-QU|blahperson15|black}}

==Pokémon Black 2 and White 2==

===Floccesy Ranch grass glitch===
In [[Floccesy Ranch]] there is a tile that appears to be a [[tall grass]] tile, but is instead a normal tile. Wild Pokémon cannot be encountered in it (even with {{m|Sweet Scent}} or [[Honey]]). Unlike actual tall grass tiles, the bottom of the player's sprite is not covered by the grass when standing on it, and it does not make a noise when the player steps on it.

{{youtubevid|lXTeeiPNcwk|Mucrush|grass}}

===Frozen Zoroark glitch===
In the Japanese versions of Pokémon Black 2 and White 2, if the player begins following [[N]]'s {{p|Zoroark}} through {{OBP|Victory Road|Black 2 and White 2}} then leaves the area, Zoroark will appear in its initial position and will not move. This prevents the player from meeting [[N]]. This bug was fixed in international releases.

{{youtubevid|cZPfeBxQa4g|elvistny|dark}}

===Giant Chasm tree glitch===
In the [[Giant Chasm]], there is a row of trees that can be walked through.

{{youtubevid|ALd8EAHSkc4|djtrfigo|grass}}

===Mail Ability description glitch===
If the player reads [[Mail]] held by a Pokémon, then views the summary of any Pokémon in their party, the description of its Ability will disappear. The description returns if the player changes to any screen but the one displaying that Pokémon's Ability.

{{youtubevid|Rz9ATutPWv0|MrSuperHeatran|mail}}

===Marlon glitch===
{{incomplete|section|Specific timing of the glitch}}
In the Japanese versions of Pokémon Black 2 and White 2, if the player talks to [[Marlon]] in the [[Humilau Gym]] before the events of [[Ghetsis]] but after beating the [[Shadow Triad]] at the [[Plasma Frigate]], he will have blank dialogue boxes. This has been fixed in international releases.

{{youtubevid|NV9FeVv58OQ|grandmaster101587458|water}}

===N glitch===
{{incomplete|section|cause}}
In the ruins of [[N's Castle]], the player can get a copy of N to appear. One N will follow the player around while the other will stand still and can be talked to as normal. Since the player is being followed by a copy of N, this glitch prevents the player from flying or fighting in battles.

{{youtubevid|KBkxYmLNQCA|kewlbdude|bulba}}

===Pokéstar Studios surfable tree===
In the Pokéstar Studios area, there is a tree on the right side that can be {{m|surf}}ed on. No wild Pokémon can be found here.

The beginning of the glitch is at 2:00 and ends at 2:42, with the results of the glitch being shown from 2:26 to 2:42.

{{youtubevid|tkJI2TfBc3k|EverChangerDelta|water}}

===Pokémon World Tournament glitch===
A minor bug occurs in the Pokémon World Tournament building. In a section of the building, there is a spot for the last important NPC the player has battled in for the Semifinals, Quarterfinals, and the Opening Round. If a player battles an important NPC, then in the next tournament battles the same NPC but in a different position and an unimportant NPC in the same position as the important NPC was in the first round, the important NPC will be shown in two different spots.

The beginning of the glitch is at 0:14 and ends at 1:59, with the results of the glitch being shown from 1:51 to 1:59.

{{youtubevid|tkJI2TfBc3k|EverChangerDelta|ice}}

===Rondez-View Ferris Wheel glitch===
{{incomplete|section|video, specifics}}
In certain cases, if the player [[saving|saves]] the game in the {{ci|Nimbasa}} Amusement Park, then resumes play on a later date, the NPC in front of the Rondez-View Ferris Wheel can change to a different NPC but keep the sprite of the old NPC.

For example, [[N]] can be observed speaking about [[Hugh]]'s younger sister as if they were his, and then turns into Hugh when riding the Ferris Wheel, then turns back into N when he gets off.

===Rough Skin Substitute glitch===
{{incomplete|section|Further research (experiments with Iron Barbs and using Substitute while behind the fake one); checking if it occurs in BW}}
If a Pokémon behind a {{m|substitute}} faints from {{a|Rough Skin}} or [[Rocky Helmet]], the defending Pokémon will appear to be behind a substitute, but will function as normal.

{{youtubevid|MKfijhME_TU|TrainerOfDistinction|Dragon}}

===Route 19 non-solid wall===
On {{rt|19|Unova}}, in the area to the northeast that requires {{m|Surf}} to access, there are two non-solid wall tiles next to the staircase. Only one of these wall tiles can be accessed from the staircase; this tile is located in the wall adjacent to the first tile from the bottom of the staircase. The other tile can be accessed by taking one step east from that tile.

{{youtubevid|8I2pMi5niK0|Kaphotics|rock}}

===Skyla animation glitch===
[[File:Spr B2W2 Skyla.png|thumb|right|{{tt|Note: this image is an animated PNG.|Some browsers do not support animated PNGs, so the glitch will not be visible unless using a compatible browser}}]]
When challenging [[Skyla]] to a battle, a few of the beginning frames of her Trainer sprite lack the blue leg holster that is located just above the knee on her right leg. It is not there initially, but her left leg covers the area, and it is present once the leg moves away.
{{-}}

===Tag Battle victory music glitch===
Defeating a pair of [[wild Pokémon]] while the player has a partner will play the Trainer defeated jingle rather than wild Pokémon defeated jingle.

{{youtubevid|Fzypi6vyt5k|chicobo329|white}}

===White and Black flashback glitch===
If the player has used the [[Memory Link]] and defeated [[N]] and [[Ghetsis]] in the Black or White version which the game is linked to, the [[Memory Link#White_and_Black|White and Black flashback]] will be unlocked. The description from the Memory List says that in order to make it happen, the player needs to first participate in the [[Pokémon World Tournament]]. However, it is possible to watch the flashback before doing so, just after having gone to [[Rood]]'s house in [[Driftveil City]] for the first time.

===White Forest shadow glitch===
[[File:White Forest tree glitch.png|thumb|right|200px|The tree lacking a shadow as seen in the upper left corner]]
One of the trees in [[White Forest]] to the left of the entrance to the White Treehollow does not have a shadow underneath it.
{{-}}

==In all Generation V games==
===Assist Egg glitch===
When {{m|Assist}} is used, it can use the moves of unhatched {{pkmn|Egg}}s in the party.

{{youtubevid|I3Ifoeh9n3o|wtfhloser|Normal}}

===Box change glitch===
{{incomplete|section|Needs a video, cause}}
If a Pokémon is selected, then the Box is changed by tapping the Box name and using the "Switch Box" option, when changing back to the original Box the selected Pokémon's menu sprite will be invisible.

If the space where the Pokémon was is tapped, a red silhouette of the last Pokémon to be in the same spot when the PC was opened will appear. So if the Pokémon was not moved and there was no other Pokémon in the same spot when the box was changed then a red silhouette of the Pokémon will appear. If a different box was viewed ether before or during the glitch with a Pokémon in the same spot or the Pokémon was moved to a spot that had another Pokémon was before while not looking at another Pokémon in a different box in the same spot then it will be a copy of that Pokémon. If the Pokémon is moved to a spot where another Pokémon was before and switch to another box with no Pokémon also appering in the same spot the no silhouette will appear when the Pokémon is selected.

If put in the party, it temporarily takes the colored menu sprite of the silhouette after reopening the party; if the space was empty, it reverts to its original menu sprite. If the Pokémon did not copy another Pokémon silhouette then it will remain invisible. If left in a Box and the Box is changed (except using the "Switch Box" method initially used before), its menu sprite will revert to normal; if left in the party it will remain in its false menu sprite. It will return to its regular sprite if the PC is closed, a Pokémon status screen is examined, the bag screen is opened or if the search screen is selected.

If a Pokémon that has its form changed by an item ({{p|Giratina}}, {{p|Arceus}}, or {{p|Genesect}}) and its item is removed while it is under the effect of the glitch then the proper menu sprite will show, ending the glitch.

===Icirrus Gym glitch===
In [[Icirrus Gym]], there are three rocks which are not solid—they can be walked on. Using one of these rocks, in {{2v2|Black|White}} it is possible to reach [[Brycen]] without battling {{tc|Black Belt}} Thomas.

{{youtubevid|fIvh7lsarUA|Zowayixx|Ice}}

===Kadabra trade glitch===
If a {{p|Kadabra}} is traded while it is holding an [[Everstone]], it will still evolve into {{p|Alakazam}}.

===Low HP cry glitch===
While Pokémon with a yellow HP bar have a distorted [[cry]] to match their low {{stat|HP}}, Pokémon with a red HP bar have the same cry as Pokémon with a green HP bar.

===Music memory glitch===
{{incomplete|section|Needs a video}}
If the player goes below the first floor in the [[Dreamyard]], [[Wellspring Cave]], [[Chargestone Cave]] or [[Challenger's Cave]], the music will usually play with a lower pitch and tempo. This is deliberate and is meant to set the atmosphere. However, if the player [[Saving|saves]] and resets, the music will play as if the player was on the top floor.

Likewise, if the player rides to a different area after getting on the [[bicycle]], the music will change from the cycling theme to that location's music. However, if the player then saves and resets, the cycling music will play.

Variable scoring is not affected by this.

===Shed Shell glitch===
{{incomplete|section|Specifics on when it occurs}}
Sometimes in in-game battles, if the player's lead Pokémon holds a [[Shed Shell]], it will be unable to switch out. This glitch does not occur in link battles.

{{youtubevid|ZV74uPW0PiU|wtfhloser|bug}}

===Music speed glitch===
When the player uses {{m|Dig}} or an [[Escape Rope]] while [[Bicycle|cycling]] (cycling music must be playing) or {{m|surf}}ing while below the first floor in [[Wellspring Cave]], [[Chargestone Cave]] or [[Challenger's Cave]] and travels to [[Pinwheel Forest]], [[Moor of Icirrus]] or the [[Desert Resort]], the music will play with a lower pitch and tempo, as if the player was in an underground floor. Reentering the affected area will revert the music back to normal, as will surfing or using the bicycle.

{{youtubevid|fp5JI-n2Gps|hervoheebo|rock}}

===Prize money glitch===
[[File:Prize money glitch.jpg|thumb|Receiving more than {{pdollar}}9999 in prize money]]
If the player wins a battle with an [[Amulet Coin]] and a [[Entralink#List of Pass Powers|Prize Money Power ↑, ↑↑ or ↑↑↑]], so that the resulting [[payout|prize money]] is an amount greater than {{pdollar}}9999, it will be displayed with a question mark before the last four digits. This happens because the game is only designed to display four digits of the prize money.
{{-}}
===TM94 Rock Smash glitch===
[[File:TM94 Rock Smash glitch.png|thumb|230px|left|Menu screen of TM94 in Black and White]]
[[File:TM94 Rock Smash glitch B2W2.png|thumb|230px|right|Menu screen of TM94 in Black 2 and White 2]]
In {{4v|Black|White}}, {{TM|94|Rock Smash}} appears as a {{type|Rock}} TM, despite the move being {{type|Fighting}}.
{{-}}

===Variable scoring glitch===
This glitch only works in cities and towns that can be {{m|Fly|flown}} or {{m|teleport}}ed to with variable scoring dependent on the player's location in the area; specifically, [[Nacrene City]] (accordion player), [[Icirrus City]] (clapping group walking in a circle), and [[Opelucid City]] (keytar/erhu player). If the player is in the area that the variable scoring is active, and flies or teleports to that same city or town, the variable scoring will be active until the music is changed, regardless of the player's location within the city or town. Likewise, if the player is in an area where the variable score is not active and flies or teleports to that city or town, the variable score will not activate until the music is changed.

In the ruins of [[N's Castle]], the player can get a copy of N to appear. One N will follow the player around while the other will stand still and can be talked to as normal. Since the player is being followed by a copy of N, this glitch prevents the player from flying or fighting in battles.

===Pokéstar Studios surfable tree===
In the Pokéstar Studios area, there is a tree on the right side that can be {{m|surf}}ed on. No wild Pokémon can be found here.

The beginning of the glitch is at 2:00 and ends at 2:42, with the results of the glitch being shown from 2:26 to 2:42.

{{youtubevid|tkJI2TfBc3k|EverChangerDelta|water}}

===Pokémon World Tournament glitch===
A minor bug occurs in the Pokémon World Tournament building. In a section of the building, there is a spot for the last important NPC the player has battled in for the Semifinals, Quarterfinals, and the Opening Round. If a player battles an important NPC, then in the next tournament battles the same NPC but in a different position and an unimportant NPC in the same position as the important NPC was in the first round, the important NPC will be shown in two different spots.

The beginning of the glitch is at 0:14 and ends at 1:59, with the results of the glitch being shown from 1:51 to 1:59.

{{youtubevid|tkJI2TfBc3k|EverChangerDelta|ice}}

===Rondez-View Ferris Wheel glitch===
{{incomplete|section|video, specifics}}
In certain cases, if the player [[saving|saves]] the game in the {{ci|Nimbasa}} Amusement Park, then resumes play on a later date, the NPC in front of the Rondez-View Ferris Wheel can change to a different NPC but keep the sprite of the old NPC.

For example, [[N]] can be observed speaking about [[Hugh]]'s younger sister as if they were his, and then turns into Hugh when riding the Ferris Wheel, then turns back into N when he gets off.

===Rough Skin Substitute glitch===
{{incomplete|section|Further research (experiments with Iron Barbs and using Substitute while behind the fake one); checking if it occurs in BW}}
If a Pokémon behind a {{m|substitute}} faints from {{a|Rough Skin}} or [[Rocky Helmet]], the defending Pokémon will appear to be behind a substitute, but will function as normal.

{{youtubevid|MKfijhME_TU|TrainerOfDistinction|Dragon}}

===Route 19 non-solid wall===
On {{rt|19|Unova}}, in the area to the northeast that requires {{m|Surf}} to access, there are two non-solid wall tiles next to the staircase. Only one of these wall tiles can be accessed from the staircase; this tile is located in the wall adjacent to the first tile from the bottom of the staircase. The other tile can be accessed by taking one step east from that tile.

{{youtubevid|8I2pMi5niK0|Kaphotics|rock}}

===Skyla animation glitch===
[[File:Spr B2W2 Skyla.png|thumb|right|{{tt|Note: this image is an animated PNG.|Some browsers do not support animated PNGs, so the glitch will not be visible unless using a compatible browser}}]]
When challenging [[Skyla]] to a battle, a few of the beginning frames of her Trainer sprite lack the blue leg holster that is located just above the knee on her right leg. It is not there initially, but her left leg covers the area, and it is present once the leg moves away.
{{-}}

===Tag Battle victory music glitch===
Defeating a pair of [[wild Pokémon]] while the player has a partner will play the Trainer defeated jingle rather than wild Pokémon defeated jingle.

{{youtubevid|Fzypi6vyt5k|chicobo329|white}}

===White and Black flashback glitch===
If the player has used the [[Memory Link]] and defeated [[N]] and [[Ghetsis]] in the Black or White version which the game is linked to, the [[Memory Link#White_and_Black|White and Black flashback]] will be unlocked. The description from the Memory List says that in order to make it happen, the player needs to first participate in the [[Pokémon World Tournament]]. However, it is possible to watch the flashback before doing so, just after having gone to [[Rood]]'s house in [[Driftveil City]] for the first time.

===White Forest shadow glitch===
[[File:White Forest tree glitch.png|thumb|right|200px|The tree lacking a shadow as seen in the upper left corner]]
One of the trees in [[White Forest]] to the left of the entrance to the White Treehollow does not have a shadow underneath it.
{{-}}

==In all Generation V games==
===Assist Egg glitch===
When {{m|Assist}} is used, it can use the moves of unhatched {{pkmn|Egg}}s in the party.

{{youtubevid|I3Ifoeh9n3o|wtfhloser|Normal}}

===Box change glitch===
{{incomplete|section|Needs a video, cause}}
If a Pokémon is selected, then the Box is changed by tapping the Box name and using the "Switch Box" option, when changing back to the original Box the selected Pokémon's menu sprite will be invisible.

If the space where the Pokémon was is tapped, a red silhouette of the last Pokémon to be in the same spot when the PC was opened will appear. So if the Pokémon was not moved and there was no other Pokémon in the same spot when the box was changed then a red silhouette of the Pokémon will appear. If a different box was viewed ether before or during the glitch with a Pokémon in the same spot or the Pokémon was moved to a spot that had another Pokémon was before while not looking at another Pokémon in a different box in the same spot then it will be a copy of that Pokémon. If the Pokémon is moved to a spot where another Pokémon was before and switch to another box with no Pokémon also appering in the same spot the no silhouette will appear when the Pokémon is selected.

If put in the party, it temporarily takes the colored menu sprite of the silhouette after reopening the party; if the space was empty, it reverts to its original menu sprite. If the Pokémon did not copy another Pokémon silhouette then it will remain invisible. If left in a Box and the Box is changed (except using the "Switch Box" method initially used before), its menu sprite will revert to normal; if left in the party it will remain in its false menu sprite. It will return to its regular sprite if the PC is closed, a Pokémon status screen is examined, the bag screen is opened or if the search screen is selected.

If a Pokémon that has its form changed by an item ({{p|Giratina}}, {{p|Arceus}}, or {{p|Genesect}}) and its item is removed while it is under the effect of the glitch then the proper menu sprite will show, ending the glitch.

===Icirrus Gym glitch===
In [[Icirrus Gym]], there are three rocks which are not solid—they can be walked on. Using one of these rocks, in {{2v2|Black|White}} it is possible to reach [[Brycen]] without battling {{tc|Black Belt}} Thomas.

{{youtubevid|fIvh7lsarUA|Zowayixx|Ice}}

===Kadabra trade glitch===
If a {{p|Kadabra}} is traded while it is holding an [[Everstone]], it will still evolve into {{p|Alakazam}}.

===Low HP cry glitch===
While Pokémon with a yellow HP bar have a distorted [[cry]] to match their low {{stat|HP}}, Pokémon with a red HP bar have the same cry as Pokémon with a green HP bar.

===Music memory glitch===
{{incomplete|section|Needs a video}}
If the player goes below the first floor in the [[Dreamyard]], [[Wellspring Cave]], [[Chargestone Cave]] or [[Challenger's Cave]], the music will usually play with a lower pitch and tempo. This is deliberate and is meant to set the atmosphere. However, if the player [[Saving|saves]] and resets, the music will play as if the player was on the top floor.

Likewise, if the player rides to a different area after getting on the [[bicycle]], the music will change from the cycling theme to that location's music. However, if the player then saves and resets, the cycling music will play.

Variable scoring is not affected by this.

===Shed Shell glitch===
{{incomplete|section|Specifics on when it occurs}}
Sometimes in in-game battles, if the player's lead Pokémon holds a [[Shed Shell]], it will be unable to switch out. This glitch does not occur in link battles.

{{youtubevid|ZV74uPW0PiU|wtfhloser|bug}}

===Music speed glitch===
When the player uses {{m|Dig}} or an [[Escape Rope]] while [[Bicycle|cycling]] (cycling music must be playing) or {{m|surf}}ing while below the first floor in [[Wellspring Cave]], [[Chargestone Cave]] or [[Challenger's Cave]] and travels to [[Pinwheel Forest]], [[Moor of Icirrus]] or the [[Desert Resort]], the music will play with a lower pitch and tempo, as if the player was in an underground floor. Reentering the affected area will revert the music back to normal, as will surfing or using the bicycle.

{{youtubevid|fp5JI-n2Gps|hervoheebo|rock}}

===Prize money glitch===
[[File:Prize money glitch.jpg|thumb|Receiving more than {{pdollar}}9999 in prize money]]
If the player wins a battle with an [[Amulet Coin]] and a [[Entralink#List of Pass Powers|Prize Money Power ↑, ↑↑ or ↑↑↑]], so that the resulting [[payout|prize money]] is an amount greater than {{pdollar}}9999, it will be displayed with a question mark before the last four digits. This happens because the game is only designed to display four digits of the prize money.
{{-}}
===TM94 Rock Smash glitch===
[[File:TM94 Rock Smash glitch.png|thumb|230px|left|Menu screen of TM94 in Black and White]]
[[File:TM94 Rock Smash glitch B2W2.png|thumb|230px|right|Menu screen of TM94 in Black 2 and White 2]]
In {{4v|Black|White}}, {{TM|94|Rock Smash}} appears as a {{type|Rock}} TM, despite the move being {{type|Fighting}}.
{{-}}

===Variable scoring glitch===
This glitch only works in cities and towns that can be {{m|Fly|flown}} or {{m|teleport}}ed to with variable scoring dependent on the player's location in the area; specifically, [[Nacrene City]] (accordion player), [[Icirrus City]] (clapping group walking in a circle), and [[Opelucid City]] (keytar/erhu player). If the player is in the area that the variable scoring is active, and flies or teleports to that same city or town, the variable scoring will be active until the music is changed, regardless of the player's location within the city or town. Likewise, if the player is in an area where the variable score is not active and flies or teleports to that city or town, the variable score will not activate until the music is changed.

{{bulbanews|CoroCoro October reveals information regarding new Mystery Dungeon}}
(Japanese: '''{{tt|ポケモン不思議のダンジョンマグナゲートと∞迷宮|ポケモンふしぎのダンジョンマグナゲートとむげんだいめいきゅう}}''' ''Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Magnagate and the Infinite Labyrinth'') is an upcoming [[Nintendo 3DS]] title that is a part of the Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series. It was released in Japan on November 23, 2012.

==New features==
This game implements full 3D gameplay via the 3DS's 3D capabilities. It also takes advantage of the 3DS's AR functions. By recognizing different round objects, it transforms them into a Magnagate (Japanese: マグナゲート ''Magnagate''), leaving an infinite labyrinth of dungeons to be explored.

Many [[Unova]] Pokémon such as {{p|Gurdurr}}, {{p|Virizion}}, and {{p|Hydreigon}} are included in the game.

One of the other prominent features is mini-games, one of which is run by {{p|Beartic}}, though their purpose is currently unknown.

==Plot==
Gameplay begins with a dream of {{p|Munna}} being chased by {{p|Hydreigon}} before switching to the dream background. The player begins the game as a character that becomes a Pokémon which the player has chosen, The Pokémon that is chosen enters a blue Magnagate and falls from the sky to the ground. The Pokémon wakes up dizzy and confused, as the player gets to choose their partner Pokémon. The partner Pokémon that can be chosen are {{p|Snivy}}, {{p|Tepig}}, {{p|Oshawott}}, {{p|Pikachu}} and {{p|Axew}}. Both The playable and partner Pokémon start out at Level 7. The player is able to choose the gender of the Pokémon chosen. The playable Pokémon wakes up, which startles the partner Pokémon. The playable Pokémon explains to their partner that they fell from the sky.

The partner Pokémon brings them into the first dungeon called (Japanese: でこぼこ山 ''Bumpy Mountain''). As the Pokémon enter the first dungeon, a view of the whole dungeon is shown. The Pokémon come to a bridge, as they try and figure out how to cross it. They enter a cave opening, as a tutorial on how to use the controls is shown. More tutorials are displayed, as the Pokémon move through the dungeon. As the Pokémon reach the 3rd floor, they come upon a sparkling tree. The Pokémon hits the tree to create a bridge to cross. As the Pokémon reach the 5th floor, they have made it to the other side of the dungeon and may now exit the dungeon.

The Pokémon take the crossroad to a barren wasteland, where the are met by a {{p|Quagsire}}. Quagsire walks away, as the partner Pokémon decides to permanently team up. The player then chooses a name for their partner Pokémon. The playable Pokémon recalls the dream they had about Hydreigon chasing after a Munna, as a flashback is shown. The Pokémon sleep through the night in front of a tree stump. The next morning, Quagsire returns and brings them through the crossroads to the (Japanese: ポケモンパラダイス ''Pokémon Paradise''). A view of the different shops and locations inside of the Pokémon Paradise are shown.

Quagsire shows the treasure chest that can be used to store Poké and items and explains that {{p|Kecleon}} runs the shop to buy [[items]]. A {{p|Roggenrola}} and {{p|Ducklett}} have an argument and then go their separate ways. Quagsire introduces the Pokémon to a pair of {{p|Timburr}}, as they enter {{p|Swanna}}'s store. Quagsire introduces them to {{p|Swanna}} and {{p|Gurdurr}}, as Gurdurr decides to help them build the Pokémon Paradise. The Timburr make a request for them to obtain rocks, as the Pokémon enter the next dungeon called (Japanese: 石の洞窟 ''Stone Cave'')

When the Pokémon reach the B3F, they will come upon a locked door that will require a key to open. As the Pokémon reach the end of the dungeon, there are blue shining rocks. The Pokémon take some of the rocks for the {{p|Timburr}}, and then head back to the Pokémon Paradise. As the Pokémon return to the Pokémon Paradise, a {{p|Scraggy}} bumps into them. Scraggy runs off, as the Pokémon return to where Timburr and Gurdurr are. The Pokémon try to give Timburr and Gurdurr the rocks, but realize that they have been stolen. Gurdurr does not appear to be upset, as the Pokémon exit the store.

The Pokémon see Scraggy again at the Pokémon Paradise entrance, as Scraggy runs off again. The Pokémon head off to the next dungeon called (Japanese: カゲロウ峠 ''Mayfly Pass''). After reaching the 6F, the Pokémon run into Scraggy, as they hide and notice that Gurdurr is also in the dungeon and speaks to Scraggy. The Pokémon confront Gurdurr and Scraggy, as the boss battle begins. After defeating Scraggy and Gurdurr, Scraggy runs away. The pair of Timburr show up, as Gurdurr becomes angry and knocks both Timburr down before walking away. The Pokémon and Timburr go after Gurdurr.

After reaching the top, the Pokémon see Gurdurr looking out at the moon. The Pokémon begin another battle against Gurdurr. After the battle, Gurdurr shows the Pokémon the back scratch that it had received. The Timburr show up, as they cry along with Gurdurr. The next day, it is shown that the Timburr and Gurdurr built the Pokémon a house. The next day, the Pokémon wake up inside of their home, and head outside. Quagsire brings them to the notice board and introduces them to {{p|Azumarill}}. The partner Pokémon looks at the board and chooses a mission, as the gate opens. Quagsire sells some items at this time prior to the Pokémon going on the mission.

The Pokémon enter the dungeon called (Japanese: トントン山 ''Tapping Mountain''). After reaching the logs with the shining stars, the Pokémon hits the logs and they fall down the waterfall. An Emolga appears and greets them before leaving. The Pokémon try to climb down a ladder, but the ladder breaks and they crash to the ground. As the Pokémon navigate through the dungeon and end up on the other side of the dungeon, they come upon more logs with shining stars. The Pokémon hits the logs, as they move down the waterfall and complete the bridge needed to cross the water. The Pokémon move further through the dungeon until they find crystals and bring some with them. At the end of the dungeon, the Pokémon run into a {{p|Dunsparce}}, as Emolga arrives and the dungeon is cleared.

After the mission, the Pokémon are given a {{DL|Seed|Blast Seed}}, a Red Key, and 100 Poké. A flashback is shown of the Pokémon finding and obtaining the crystals, as the Pokémon show Dunsparce and Emolga the crystals. The crystals are handed over, as Dunsparce turns red. A {{p|Virizion}} shows up with a sparkling background, as other Pokémon fall in love with it. Virizion goes into Swanna's store, as everyone follows inside. A scene is shown with two crossing rainbows in the sky with a sparkling background. Dunsparce expresses its love to Virizion by handing over a shining crystal. Dunsparce gets rejected and runs off, as Emolga gets angry and also runs off. Virizion walks out of the store. A couple of suspicious {{p|Pawniard}} look on at what is going on, and walk away.

Quagsire tells the Pokémon that it saw Dunsparce speaking to the pair of suspicious Pawniard before all three walked toward a dungeon. The Pokémon decide to go after them, as Virizion looks on. The Pokémon head off to the dungeon named (Japanese:荒れ果て谷 ''Desolate Valley''). After progressing through the dungeon, Pawniard and Dunsparce are shown in the cliff opening. The Pawniard make some demands, as Dunsparce tries to get away but is stopped by them. Emolga and the other Pokémon arrive to confront the Pawniard and save Dunsparce. A pair of {{p|Venipede}} and a pair of {{p|Galvantula}} appear, as the Pokémon get set to battle. Before the Pokémon can battle, Virizion, the pair of Timburr, and Gurdurr appear. The Pokémon, Virizion, Emolga, and Dunsparce have a battle with the Pawniard, Venipede, and Galvantula. After defeating the boss Pokémon, Galvantula, Venipede, and Pawniard run away. Emolga, Dunsparce, and Virizion decide to join the other Pokémon. Emolga isn't happy about Virizion joining. The Pokémon exit the dungeon.

The next day, Emolga, Virizion, Dunsparce, and {{p|Pelipper}} greet the Pokémon outside of their home. The player then chooses a team name for the Pokémon and Pelipper flies away. Quagsire appears and shows the Pokémon that Scraggy now owns a shop at the crossroad area where Pokémon can forget and remember their moves. Pelipper drops a treasure chest, as the Pokémon open it up. The chest contains a team bag, a one-page letter, and a team badge for using ''Everyone Attack''. The Pokémon head to the next dungeon called (Japanese:林の横穴 ''Forest Cave'') for their next mission. On the 7F, the Pokémon use the newly usable ''Everyone Attack'' prior to exiting the dungeon.

The next day, an explosion is heard. Gurdurr sees that Scraggy now owns a shop. Gurdurr shows the Pokémon that it has its own shop now as well. Gurdurr lets the Pokémon know that they can check the notice board for other missions they can take. The player decides on a mission to go on, and goes to a previous dungeon to complete it. After completing a mission, there is a message on the screen that says "Great Job". After doing two missions, Gurdurr tells the Pokémon that additional shops can now be built after completing missions and giving Poké and certain items for them.

After completing several missions, A fireball goes across the sky prior to the Pokémon waking up the next day. colorful circles float through the air, as the Pokémon exit their home. Other Pokémon in the Pokémon Paradise also see the colorful circles floating around. Emolga brings the Pokémon to a bulletin that the Pokémon are unsure of what it is for. The ground shakes, as the fireball heads toward the Pokémon. The Pokémon run away, as the fireball crashes to the ground. {{p|Victini}} appears inside of its own shop after the impact. Victini is displayed with a colorful background during its appearance.

Victini explains that it has a V-Roulette wheel that Poké can be wagered. Victini poses and wants to be a part of Pokémon Paradise. The other Pokémon become annoyed by the posing, but Victini is allowed to stay. Victini does some dancing and spinning around. The Pokémon can now go to a dungeon called (Japanese: 山あいの小道 ''Ravine Path'') for a mission.

'''Sharpedo''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''サメハダー''' ''Samehader'') is a dual-type {{2t|Water|Dark}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolve]]s from {{p|Carvanha}} starting at [[level]] 30.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Sharpedo's body is torpedo-shaped, much like the head and trunk section of a real shark. It has a large mouth filled with triangular, sharp teeth. Its body is covered in tiny, sharp {{wp|denticle}}s which reduce {{wp|Drag (physics)|drag}} when it swims as well as {{a|Rough Skin|cause damage to foes to that attack it with physical moves}}. Sharpedo is mostly dark blue in color, with a white underbelly. The yellow star marking it had as a {{p|Carvanha}} has migrated to its snout, and another star marking is on its rear. Sharpedo has a tall {{wp|dorsal fin}} with two notches cut into it, with a {{wp|Fish anatomy#Fins|pelvic fin}} directly opposite it, and the two pectoral fins arranged so that they resemble the fins on the back of a torpedo. Sharpedo's eyes are a deep red color and glow in the dark. It has two gill slits situated directly behind each eye.

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

===Special abilities===
Sharpedo's abilities are a modified, stronger version of Carvanha's. Sharpedo can now use {{m|Poison Jab}}, {{m|Slash}}, {{m|Night Slash}}, and {{m|Earthquake}}. Sharpedo are capable of swimming at 75 miles per hour (120 kilometers per hour) in {{m|pursuit}} of their prey, though they are unable to swim far distances. Their jaws are powerful enough to {{m|bite}} through metal with ease. If a Sharpedo's tooth breaks off, a new tooth will replace it immediately.

Since Sharpedo is a fully evolved Pokémon, it can use {{m|Hyper Beam}} and {{m|Giga Impact}}.

===Behavior===
Sharpedo is a generally dreaded and distrusted Pokémon. Sharpedo moves through the sea by swimming at speeds of up to {{tt|75 mph|120 km/h}} by {{m|Aqua Jet|forcing water out of its rear}}. Despite its vigor, Sharpedo has relatively low stamina, and is unable to swim great distances. Its teeth are strong enough to bite through metal, and they grow back rapidly if they snap off. Sharpedo is driven by an unruly, caustic urge to attack and destroy anything that enters its domain. As a result of its temperament and its armament, just one Sharpedo can effectively tear apart an oil tanker.

===Habitat===
[[File:Sea.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Sea Pokémon}}]]
Sharpedo live in the upper regions of the oceans.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}
Just like Carvanha, Sharpedo are predatory Pokémon that will prey upon any creature they can sink their teeth into.

==In the anime==
[[File:J henchmen Sharpedo.png|thumb|220px|right|Sharpedo in the anime]]
===Major appearances===
Sharpedo's first major appearance was in ''[[AG019|Sharpedo Attack!]]''. A pod of Sharpedo attacked {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}}, plus [[Mr. Briney]], while they were at an uncharted, crescent-shaped island. They gained the pod's trust when {{an|Brock}} healed their leader's injury when it came across {{TRT}}.

===Minor appearances===

==Trivia==
* On April Fool's Day, 2002, Mizuado, a {{2t|Steel|Water}} hammerhead shark Pokémon was "revealed", but it turned out to be a {{pkmn2|fake}}. This Pokémon was also sometimes called Samehadaa, which is similar to Sharpedo's Japanese name.
* Sharpedo shares the same [[species]] name with {{p|Hydreigon}}. They are both known as Brutal Pokémon.
* Despite primarily being a {{type|Water}}, Sharpedo could not learn any Water-type moves by level up in [[Generation III]], and in [[Generation IV]] onward, it only learns {{m|Aqua Jet}} by level up.
* In a demo version of Ruby and Sapphire shown at Pokémon Festa 2002 in Japan, players started with a level 12 Sharpedo, suggesting it wasn't related to Carvanha by evolution, Carvanha evolved at a lower level or other means (such as an evolutionary stone or trading), or that Carvanha didn't exist.
** Aside from seemingly lacking evolutionary relatives, this Sharpedo also lacked an Ability, suggesting not all Pokémon were supposed to have Abilities, or that it wasn't programmed in at the time.
* Despite being the evolved form of Carvanha, it appears in more locations than Carvanha in {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}, the games they debuted in.
* Sharpedo's evolutionary line can be seen as a parallel to {{p|Camerupt}}'s family. Both of them are dual-type Pokémon, and both of their final evolutions are used by [[Team Aqua]] Leader [[Archie]] and [[Team Magma]] Leader [[Maxie]], respectively.
* In [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness]], in the title screen cutscene, the two Pokémon stand on a Sharpedo-shaped cliff.

===Origin===
Sharpedo is based on a {{wp|shark}} with the body of a {{wp|torpedo}}. It also looks like a shark that has been cut in half. Its general body shape is also similar to an {{wp|Ocean Sunfish}}. Both fish are known for their sandpaper-like skin.

====Name origin====
Sharpedo is a combination of the words ''{{wp|shark}}'' and ''{{wp|torpedo}}''. It may also involve ''sharp'', referring to its fins and Rough Skin Ability.

Samehader may be a combination of 鮫 ''same'' (shark) and 肌荒れ ''hada-are'' (rough skin). It may also be a corruption of 鮫肌 ''samehada'' (sharkskin), perhaps referring to its {{a|Rough Skin}} Ability.

'''Weavile''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''マニューラ''' ''Manyula'') is a dual-type {{2t|Dark|Ice}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Sneasel}} when [[level]]ed up at [[Time|night]] while holding a {{DL|Evolution-inducing held item|Razor Claw}}.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Weavile is a weasel-like Pokémon whose appearance also looks like that of a bluish-black bipedal feline, clad in a bright red crown, and collar. Weavile has two tails, instead of three like its pre-evolved form. Unlike its pre-evolved form, there is no gem on its chest, and it has three claws on each paw, as opposed to just two. They have highly acrobatic, ninja-like bodies, which allows them to do individual maneuvers and lightning-fast attacks.

====Gender differences====
A female Weavile has smaller ear feathers than a male.

===Special abilities===
Weavile mostly knows the same moves that its pre-evolution can know, but Weavile is more adept with attacking moves than {{P|Sneasel}}. In addition to the moves that its pre-evolution can learn, Weavile can learn {{m|Night Slash}} and {{m|Dark Pulse}}. Weavile are very fast, and are naturally agile and athletic. They are a little bit more durable than their pre-evolution, and are also faster and stronger, making them nasty assaulting threats.

===Behavior===
Weavile are very snide Pokémon. Though Weavile flourish in packs, they show little to no remorse, respect, and/or mercy to their fellow Weavile. Weavile have very perplexing relationships with each other which researchers still study. Though Weavile are naturally hostile and cold, they are compatible with any {{pkmn|Trainer}} nonetheless. With this in mind, however, many experienced Trainers believe a Weavile cannot fight at its peak without a matching Trainer that complements Weavile's natural behavior.

===Habitat===
Packs of Weavile love to live in cold habitats. Weavile are rare in most other areas because of this, though they are quite common in icy areas. Weavile seem to prosper in tree-filled areas. Researchers believe this to be because Weavile's living habitat revolves around their ability to hunt and steal eggs. They love snowy areas because of their ability to deceive their prey in the snow. Being that they communicate through markings on trees, ice and boulders, it is crucial that they hunt and live in areas that can benefit their abilities.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}
Weavile have been stated to eat eggs.

==Trivia==
* Weavile's English name was revealed on May 28, 2006, along with {{p|Mime Jr.}}.
* Weavile weighs as much as {{ga|Dawn}}. It shares this similarity with {{p|Porygon-Z}}.
* Weavile has the highest [[base stats|base]] {{stat|Speed}} stat of any {{type|Ice}} Pokémon and is tied for the fastest {{type|Dark}} Pokémon with {{p|Darkrai}}.
* Apart from its pre-evolution, {{p|Sneasel}}, no other Pokémon has the same [[type]] [[List of Pokémon with unique type combinations|combination]] as Weavile.
* Weavile appeared in the opening of [[Pokémon: Advanced Battle]], [[Unbeatable]], which was set in [[Hoenn]], along with {{p|Mime Jr.}} and {{p|Lucario}}, despite these Pokémon being part of [[Generation IV]].
* Despite being an Ice-type Pokémon, Weavile can only learn one Ice-type {{m|Icy Wind|move}} via level up.
* Weavile and its {{p|Sneasel|pre-evolution}} are the only Ice-type Pokémon in the {{DL|List of Pokémon by color|Black|black color group}}.

===Origin===
Weavile may be based on {{wp|cat}}s and {{wp|weasel}}s, but it also seems to draw inspiration from 鎌鼬 ''{{wp|kamaitachi}}'', weasel demons with sickles on their front legs. It can also be based on black cat demons from both Western and Asian culture that have various backgrounds but are all known for their trickery and cunning. Its appearance seems to be based on old Egyptian fashion, as it "wears" a headdress, collar, and earrings similar to what Egyptian deities wear. Its "eyeshadow" also resembles Egyptian makeup.
It is possible that Weavile has some influence from {{wp|Bastet}} or {{wp|Sekhmet}} in its design, being somewhat feline based, and having a very Egyptian style and garb. In addition, both these deities were famous for using their claws in warfare. It also bears slight resemble to Inca stone idols.

====Name origin====
Weavile may be a combination of ''weasel'' and ''vile''.

Manyula is a combination of 魔 ''ma'' (demon), 潜入 ''sennyū'' (sneaking in), and 鼬 ''yū'' (weasel, an alternate reading of ''itachi''). ''Nyu'' itself may be a combination of ニャー ''nya'' (the sound a cat makes) and 鼬 ''yū''.

How is Sealeo a "Ball Roll" Pokémon? Does it curl in a ball? I would think that Spheal would be a Ball Roll Pokémon since it is basically a ball itself... Maybe I'm not reading a certain part of the page? Please respond. {{unsigned|ArceusVsMew}}

'''Meowth''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ニャース ''' ''Nyarth'') is a {{type2|Normal}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolve]]s into {{p|Persian}} starting at [[level]] 28.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Meowth has a distinctly feline appearance, resembling a small house cat. It has cream-colored fur, which turns brown at its paws and tail tip. Its oval-shaped head features four prominent whiskers, no nose, black-and-brown ears, and a glimmering gold oval coin (also known as a "charm") embedded in its forehead. Like Persian and "real-life" cats, Meowth is capable of retracting the claws on its fore- and hind-paws and bringing them out again when needed.

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

====Special abilities====
Meowth are valued for their ability to collect coins using {{m|Pay Day}}, as it is the [[signature move|only Pokémon that learns it]]. Meowth are also capable of dealing relatively powerful scratching attacks like {{m|Fury Swipes}} or {{m|Night Slash}}.

===Behavior===
Meowth are very fond of anything round and shiny. As such, they have been known to wander about city streets and {{a|Pickup|pick up}} anything that is round and shiny—coins in particular. Although they are apparently not nocturnal, they spend most of the daytime napping. Meowth are considered rivals of {{p|Murkrow}}, because Murkrow are also known for stealing round and shiny objects and these two Pokémon have been known to steal from each other's hordes.

Wild Meowth tend to live in groups in urban areas.

===Habitat===
[[Image:Urban.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Urban Pokémon}}]]
Meowth usually live in towns and cities. They can also occasionally be found in vibrant forests or near beaches. It is normally native to [[Kanto]] and [[Johto]], with some rare appearances in [[Sinnoh]].

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}
Meowth is a canivore. However, {{TR|Meowth}} have been seen eating fruit, which could indicate that it is also an omnivore.

==In the anime==
[[Image:Meowth.png|200px|thumb|right|Meowth in the anime]]
===Major appearances===
====[[Meowth (Team Rocket)|Team Rocket's Meowth]]====
Meowth is one of the two main Pokémon in the series (the other being [[Ash's Pikachu]]). Meowth is a member of [[Team Rocket]], and he is unlike ordinary Meowth in that he can [[talking Pokémon|speak human language]] and walk on two legs instead of four. His first appearance was in ''[[EP002|Pokémon Emergency!]]''.

His background story, including another female Meowth named [[Meowzie]], was told in ''[[EP070|Go West Young Meowth]]''.

Meowth was cloned in ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'', but his clone couldn't talk or walk on two legs, just like an ordinary Meowth, likely due to the fact that Meowth needed to ''learn'' how to do this. The Meowth clone is encountered again in ''[[Mewtwo Returns]]''.

====[[Tyson's Meowth]]====
Tyson's Meowth debuted in ''[[AG125|Like a Meowth to a Flame]]''. This Meowth was dressed up like {{wp|Puss in Boots (fairy tale)|Puss in Boots}}.

====Other====
Over 100 years ago, [[The Black Arachnid]] had a Meowth.

In ''[[EP053|The Purr-fect Hero]]'', {{ka|Timmy}} was reunited with a Meowth that saved him from a {{p|Beedrill}}.

===Minor appearances===
{{Ash}} used a Meowth during the Pokémon League entrance exam in ''[[EP056|The Ultimate Test]]''. The Meowth was defeated by the instructor's {{p|Vaporeon}}.

===In the Electric Tale of Pikachu manga===
{{main|Meowth (Team Rocket)}}
{{MTR}} appears in the [[Electric Tale of Pikachu]] manga series along with his teammates [[Jessie]] and [[James]]. He first appears in the chapter ''[[ET07|Pikachu's Excellent Adventure]]''.

In ''[[ET11|Days of Gloom and Glory]]'', an unnamed Meowth based on [[Meowzie]] appears. Like in the anime, Meowzie finds Meowth's ability to speak human language "creepy". In the manga, she has at least one kitten, which she captures into a stolen Poké Ball to protect it from an impending flood.

===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
Meowth's first appearance is a cameo in ''[[PS002|Bulbasaur, Come Home!]]'' as one of the Pokémon that escapes from [[Professor Oak's Laboratory]].

==Other appearances==

===[[Pokémon Snap]]===
Multiple Meowth can be found during the [[Pokémon Island Beach|Beach]] level. These Meowth are prone to accident and injury, as {{P|Pidgey}} is easily evoked to use {{M|Gust}} on them. Snap can also knock Meowth off a rock, making it fall to the ground.

===[[Super Smash Bros.]]===
Meowth appears from a Poké Ball. It attacks opponents with {{m|Pay Day}}.

[[Image:SSBB Meowth.png|200px|thumb|right|Meowth using Pay Day in Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]

==Trivia==
* In the [[Pokémon anime]] episode ''[[EP070|Go West, Young Meowth]]'', it was stated that {{MTR}} of [[Team Rocket]] had to learn and practice standing on his hind legs like a human, implying that Meowth as a species are not naturally able to stand on their hind legs. However, almost all sprites in the {{pkmn|games}} and the [[Pokédex]] in the anime depict it standing on its hind legs, suggesting Meowth has the natural ability to walk on two legs. [[Tyson's Meowth]] is also able to walk on two legs, seemingly naturally.
* Meowth is the first Pokémon in the [[Pokémon anime]] to [[Talking Pokémon|talk]].

===Origin===
{{Bulbanews|On the Origin of Species: Meowth}}
[[Junichi Masuda]] states that Meowth is based on [[Satoshi Tajiri]]'s own pet cat. Meowth seems to be based upon the Japanese legend of the 招き猫 ''{{wp|Maneki Neko}}'', also known as the lucky cat or beckoning cat. According to one legend, a cat raised its paw to welcome a lord and saved his life when a lightning bolt hit the spot where he had been standing. Maneki Neko are often used as charms in restaurants and shops to bring customers or fortune and good luck. Statues of the cat are usually depicted holding a ''koban'', an ancient coin used in Japan, like the one on Meowth's head.

====Name origin====
Meowth's name appears to be a combination of ''meow'', the sound a cat makes, as well as ''mouth'', possibly referring to the [[Meowth (Team Rocket)|anime version's]] [[talking Pokémon|gift of gab]]. ''Nyarth'' likely originates from the Japanese word for Siam (シャム ''Syamu'') with the sounds switched around, yielding ''Myasu'' and in turn ニャース ''Nyāsu'' when said in a Meowth-type voice—in the Japanese anime, Team Rocket's Meowth tends to work ''nyā'', the Japanese equivalent of ''meow'', into his dialogue quite often.

How is Sealeo a "Ball Roll" Pokémon? Does it curl in a ball? I would think that Spheal would be a Ball Roll Pokémon since it is basically a ball itself... Maybe I'm not reading a certain part of the page? Please respond. ~~~~

==Emerald==
Why does Pokémon Emerald reference it as the 'Gangster of the Sea' if, as every older fan knows, Tentacreul was also deemed the 'Gangster of the Sea' a long time ago in the pokédex and in the episode ''Tentacool and Tentacreul''? Is Sharpedo more mischevious or more feared now? (I predict a challenge.) -[[User:Professor DJM|Professor DJM]]

:I highly doubt a resembelance between Sharpedo and the Gameshark logo is intentional, but the Gameshark came first. The Gameshark was available when [[Generation I]] was released, and since Sharpedo is a [[Generation III]] Pokémon, it's obvious the Gameshark was first. --[[User:Shiningpikablu252|Shiningpikablu252]] 19:32, 9 August 2008 (UTC)

'''Sharpedo''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''サメハダー''' ''Samehader'') is a dual-type {{2t|Water|Dark}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolve]]s from {{p|Carvanha}} starting at [[level]] 30.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Sharpedo's body is {{wp|torpedo}} shaped, much like the head and trunk section of a real shark. Its body is covered in tiny, sharp {{wp|denticle}}s which create hydrodynamic advantages by reducing turbulence when swimming, as well as causing damage to foes to that attack it with physical moves. Sharpedo is colored blue with a white underbelly. The yellow star marking it had as a Carvanha has migrated to its snout. Another star marking is on its rear. Sharpedo has a tall {{wp|dorsal fin}} with two notches cut into it, with a {{wp|Fish anatomy#Fins|pelvic fin}} directly opposite it, and the two pectoral fins arranged so that they resemble the fins on the back of a torpedo. Sharpedo's eyes are a deep red color and give off a light red glow in the dark. It has two gill slits situated directly behind each eye.
====Gender differences====
None.

====Special abilities====
Sharpedo's abilities are a modified, stronger version of Carvanha's. Sharpedo can now use {{m|Poison Jab}}, {{m|Slash}}, {{m|Night Slash}}, and {{m|Earthquake}}. Sharpedo are capable of swimming at 75 miles per hour in {{m|pursuit}} of their prey, though they are unable to swim far distances. Their jaws are powerful enough to {{m|bite}} through metal with ease. If a Sharpedo's tooth breaks off, a new tooth will replace it immediately.

Since Sharpedo is a fully evolved Pokémon, it can use {{m|Hyper Beam}} and {{m|Giga Impact}}.

===Behavior===
Sharpedo is a generally dreaded and distrusted Pokémon. Sharpedo moves through the sea by swimming at speeds of up to 120 km/h (75 mph) by {{m|Aqua Jet|forcing water out of its rear}}. Despite its vigor, Sharpedo has relatively low stamina, and is unable to swim great distances. Its teeth are strong enough to bite through metal, and they grow back rapidly if they snap off. Sharpedo is driven by an unruly, caustic urge to attack and destroy anything that enters its domain. As a result of its temperament and its armament, just one Sharpedo can effectively tear apart an oil tanker.

===Habitat===
[[File:Sea.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Sea Pokémon}}]]
Sharpedo live in the upper regions of the oceans.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}
Just like Carvanha, Sharpedo are predatory Pokémon that will prey upon any creature they can sink their teeth into.

==In the anime==
[[File:Sharpedo anime.png|thumb|right|220px|Sharpedo in the anime]]
===Major appearances===
Sharpedo's first major appearance was in ''[[AG019|Sharpedo Attack!]]''. A pod of Sharpedo attacked {{Ash}} and co, plus [[Mr. Briney]], while they were at an uncharted, crescent-shaped island. They gained the pod's trust when {{an|Brock}} healed their leader's injury when it came across [[Team Rocket]].

A group of Sharpedo were used by [[J's henchmen]] to attack Ash and co, along with [[Kellyn]], in ''[[DP071|Pokémon Ranger and the Kidnapped Riolu! Part One]]''.

{{an|Dawn}} can be seen riding on a Sharpedo in ''[[DP091|One Team, Two Team, Red Team, Blue Team]]''.

===Minor appearances===
Sharpedo debuted in ''[[EP272|Johto Photo Finish]]''. It later appeared in''[[EP274|Hoenn Alone!]]''.

A Sharpedo appeared in ''[[DP145|A Rivalry to Gible On]]'', who scared off Team Rocket.

A Sharpedo appeared in the beginning of ''[[M13|Zoroark: Master of Illusions]]''.

==Trivia==
* On April Fool's Day, 2002, Mizuado, a {{2t|Steel|Water}} hammerhead shark Pokémon was "revealed", but it turned out to be a [[Fake Pokémon|fake]]. This Pokémon was also sometimes called Samehadaa, which is similar to Sharpedo's Japanese name.
* Despite primarily being a {{type2|Water}}, Sharpedo could not learn any Water-type moves by level up in [[Generation III]], and in [[Generation IV]] onward, it only learns {{m|Aqua Jet}} by level up.
* In a demo version of Ruby and Sapphire shown at Pokémon Festa 2002 in Japan, players started with a level 12 Sharpedo, suggesting it wasn't related to Carvanha by evolution, Carvanha evolved at a lower level or other means (such as an evolutionary stone or trading), or that Carvanha didn't exist.
** Aside from seemingly lacking evolutionary relatives, this Sharpedo also lacked an ability, suggesting not all Pokémon were supposed to have abilities, or that it wasn't programmed in at the time.
* Sharpedo's evolutionary line can be seen as a parallel to {{p|Camerupt}}'s family. Both of them are dual-typed Pokémon, as well as have the same base stat total for each respective evolutionary stages. Furthermore, both of their final evolutions are used by [[Team Aqua]] Leader [[Archie]] and [[Team Magma]] Leader [[Maxie]], respectively.

===Origin===
Sharpedo is based on a {{wp|shark}} with the body of a {{wp|torpedo}}. It also looks like a shark that has been cut in half. Its general body shape is also similar to an {{wp|Ocean Sunfish}}. Both fish are known for their sandpaper-like skin.

====Name origin====
Sharpedo's name is a combination of the words ''shark'' and ''torpedo''. The first part of its name may also be derived from ''sharp'', referencing its fins and Rough Skin ability.

''Samehader'' may be a corruption of 鮫肌 ''samehada'', sharkskin, perhaps referring to its {{a|Rough Skin}} ability. In addition, its name may be a combination of 鮫 ''same'', shark, and 肌荒れ ''hada-are'', rough skin. Samehada may also reference a creature from Japanese mythology of the same name. Samehada, in the myth, was the partner to the three-tailed demon shark Isonade.
