Ashclaw: /* Max Damage */

Should we add the fact that only two Pokémon can get STAB from this move - Lickilicky and Smeargle? (I think so, anyway.) {{ani|281}}[[User:TinaTheKirlia|Tina]][[User:TinaTheKirlia/Sandbox|☆]][[User:TinaTheKirlia/Favorites|♥]][[User talk:TinaTheKirlia|♫]][http://freewebs.com/thepixelcafe δ]{{MS|281|Kirlia}} 03:17, 28 November 2007 (UTC)
*So you're implying that due to [[STAB]], Explosion will do 1000 damage, right? [[User:ht14|ht14]] 22:25, April 11, 2008 (GMT)
**No, the [[STAB]] would make it 750, not 1000, as the [[STAB]] multiplier is 1.5x not 2x.--[[User:Wikifixer|Wikifixer]] 15:45, 28 November 2008 (UTC)
***The [[STAB]] boosts the Base Power from 250 to 375, Silk Scarf further boosts it to 412.5, and i don't know how that translates into actual battle damage, but 412.5 BP sounds brill to me. Though a Blaze/Overgrowth Fire/Grass Type with Overheat/Leaf Storm and a Charcoal/Miracle Seed does more I think... like 600+ or something. [[user:494alex]] 23:19, May 13th, 2009 (GMT)
****I really think what keeps the record is Sunshine+STAB+Flash Fire+Choice Specs(+Heatran's Sp. Atk)+Overheat keeps the record. BP with all those multipliers is 1.5*1.5*1.5*1.5*140=708.75, and combined with Heatran, it's really terrible.

== Focus Sash ==

Does the [[Focus Sash]] save a Pokémon from fainting when it uses Explosion? [[User:Zesty Cactus|Zesty Cactus]] 04:50, 22 July 2009 (UTC)
:Yes of course it does. Stop posting this on every page. —'''darklord[[User talk:The dark lord trombonator|trom]]''' 20:44, 22 July 2009 (UTC)
::Are you sure? I'm pretty sure he means the user of explosion and that wouldnt make much sense to me. [[User:Dexington|Dexington]] 22:00, 22 July 2009 (UTC)
:::Focus Sash does not prevent it from fainting...Forretress killed Abra along with itself...--[[User:PsychicRider|'''Psychic''']][[User talk:PsychicRider|'''Rider''']]''''[[Special:Contributions/PsychicRider|'''☮''']]'' 22:14, 22 July 2009 (UTC)
::::Dexington's right, I meant "does it protect the USER of Explosion", I guess I should have made that clearer. Thanks guys.[[User:Zesty Cactus|Zesty Cactus]] 02:27, 25 July 2009 (UTC)

== Both trainers on their last Pokemon ==

If both trainers are on their last pokemon, and one uses Explosion/Selfdestruct, knocking the other out, who wins? In the following situations:
*In-game, the player's last pokemon uses Explosion/Self destruct and knocks out a wild pokemon.
*In-game, the player's last pokemon uses Explosion/Selfdestruct and knocks out an NPC trainer's last pokemon.
*In-game, a wild pokemon uses Explosion/Selfdestruct and knocks out the player's last pokemon.
*In-game, an NPC trainer's last pokemon uses Explosion/Selfdestruct and knocks out the player's last pokemon.
*Over the GTS/link cable, one player's last pokemon uses Explosion/Selfdestruct and knocks out the other player's last pokemon.
{{unsigned|The Void}}
:*Both die, no EXP given (unless the EXP share is on a different Pokémon)
:*Both die, it counts as the player losing the battle and blacks out
:*Both die, the player blacks out
:*Both die, it counts as the player losing the battle and blacks out
:*I haven't tried this, but I imagine it's a tie game

== Stunky/Skuntank ==

Actually, the part about Stunky and Skuntank exploding - which was recently removed - is true. It happened to me, at least. "Skuntank would like to join your team. <No> Skuntank exploded. Skuntank went away."
I think it's like that for Pokémon with the Aftermath ability. Needs confirmation, though. [[User:FireMeowth|FireMeowth]] 20:10, 22 October 2009 (UTC)

== Life Orb ==

Article states that "This attack can achieve up to 412.5 Base Power if powered up with Lickilicky's STAB and a Silk Scarf." Silk Scarf only boosts by 20% in Generation IV, as I recall. Does Life Orb (30% boost) not affect the power of Explosion because of the inability to remove HP? --[[User:Zukiedo|Zukiedo]] ''([[User talk:Zukiedo|Talk]])'' 05:12, 24 February 2010 (UTC)
:I think it does. If not, there's still Choice Band. --[[User:PLA|PLA]] 11:35, 16 May 2010 (UTC)

== Abilities ==

If an ability like Pure Power were Skill Swapped onto a Lickilicky holding a Silk Scarf, surely it would do even more damage? And would this be worth adding to the section about the maximum possible damage? [[User:Mattachu|Mattachu]] 15:41:45, 04 May 2010 (UTC)
:I don't think so, since that bit is more about move modifiers than ATK modifiers. Explosion would do even more damage with +6 ATK and -6 foe DEF, but that doesn't seem very noteworthy to me. Even in terms of most damage possible for any move (which would be more interesting), I think a calculation on Rollout still has the trophy anyway. --[[User:PLA|PLA]] 16:25, 4 May 2010 (UTC)
::Actually, I think the prize goes to Water Spout under Rain used by a Water-type with Adaptability on a Ground/Rock Pokémon. '''[[User:TTEchidna|''TTE'']][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]]''' 06:46, 5 June 2010 (UTC)

==Shedinja==

If Explosion was hacked onto a Shedinja, would it knock it out? [[User:Borg184|Borg184]] 04:36, 5 June 2010 (UTC)
:Explosion sets the user's HP to 0, then does damage. '''[[User:TTEchidna|''TTE'']][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]]''' 06:20, 5 June 2010 (UTC)

==Max Damage==

I used Pokemon.marriland's calculator with a lv100 golem against a lv100 chansey:
That attack will do between 2337 and 2749 damage!

'''Seel''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''パウワウ''' ''Pawou'') is a {{type2|Water}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolve]]s into {{p|Dewgong}} starting at [[level]] 34.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
The horn on Seel's head is exceptionally hard, and its made of toughened bone. Seel has a tan-colored muzzle with a small black nose, small tusks, round eyes and a tongue that is often seen outside of Seel's mouth. It lives in the frigid waters of the arctic, surviving because of its {{a|Thick Fat|thick blubber}}.

This hide of fat looks like it's covered with snow-white fur from a distance, but, when magnified, the fur is actually a very light blue that gives it a sea-water tinge whilst swimming. Seel's streamlined, curving body helps it to effortlessly swim through the cold seas, and its flippers propel it with ease. The flippers can also pull its body onto shore, but can only support its weight for a short time.

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

===Special abilities===
Seel uses its horn to puncture ice so it can breathe. It {{a|Hydration|becomes healthier when it rains}}. Its coarse hair can trap water and air to conserve body heat.

===Behavior===
The horn on the tip of Seel's head is used to chip away ice at the surface of the sea to create breathing holes. The small tusks can chip away at the ice too, and sometimes they engage in territorial fights where these tusks can be applied as weapons.

During the day, Seel can usually be spotted in shallow seas asleep on the sea bed, however it is additionally active during the evening hours, when it hunts and pursues prey effortlessly through the water. The colder the sea, the more active it is. When swimming, its nostrils close tightly when it swims. Seel only comes on land to give birth or socialize with others of its kind - it's exceptionally clumsy on land.

===Habitat===
[[File:Sea.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Sea Pokémon}}]]
Seel loves to live in extremely cold polar seas, which are often 40 degrees below 0. The frigid climate it lives in are full of ice floes. It exceptionally loves iceberg-filled oceans, where herds of Seel converge to play and socialize. It is found in [[Kanto]], [[Johto]], and [[Sinnoh]].

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}
Seel hunts for prey.

==In the anime==

===Major appearances===
Multiple Seel are owned by {{an|Misty}} and her sisters at the [[Cerulean Gym]]. One of them evolved into a {{OBP|Dewgong|Cerulean Gym}}.

===Minor appearances===
[[Misty]] is hypnotized to act like a Seel in ''[[EP027|Hypno's Naptime]]'', but no actual Seel is seen in the episode.

A Seel appeared in ''[[EP103|Misty Meets Her Match]]'', under the ownership of [[Rudy]]'s sister [[Mahri]].

A Seel is also briefly seen in ''[[AG191|Once More With Reeling!]]'', in the [[Terracotta Town]] contest. It created an ice sculpture of a {{p|Glalie}} using {{m|Ice Beam}}.

A Seel appeared in ''[[DP089|Up Close and Personable!]]''.

A Seel appeared in ''[[DP140|Historical Mystery Tour!]]'' under the ownership of a [[Clown]].

==In the manga==
In [[Pokémon Adventures]], Seel is the first Pokémon [[Lorelei]] owned. As a child, Lorelei saw her Seel become poisoned due to the effects of nearby industrialization. [[Agatha]], who was passing by, healed the Seel using her {{p|Gastly}}. This encounter with the negative effects that humanity had on Pokémon would be the motivation Lorelei had to join the [[Elite Four]] in a plot to destroy all humanity years later.

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

==Other appearances==
===[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]===
Seel is a Pokéfloat. After the second half of {{p|Venusaur}} is revealed, the screen moves continually to the right without stopping and so fighting does not stay on Seel for very long.

==Trivia==
* Seel is one of the three non-{{type2|Ice}}s which evolve into an Ice-type, together with {{p|Shellder}} and {{p|Eevee}}.
* Although Seel was introduced in [[Generation I]] as a pure {{type2|Water}}, it could not learn any Water-type attacks by level-up until [[Generation IV]].
* Even though the Pokédex states that Seel swims in water as cold as -40°C, the {{wp|Arctic Ocean}}'s water temperature is usually around the freezing point for sea water, which is -1.8°C.

===Origin===
Seel is based on seal pups, bearing resemblance to a newborn {{wp|Harp Seal}}.

====Name origin====
Seel's name is a corruption of the sea creature ''{{wp|seal (animal)|seal}}''. Its Japanese name may come from the onomatopoeia of a seal bark. It could also involve ''paw'', the foot of many {{wp|mammals}}.

==In other languages==
*[[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Jurob - Possibly from ''jung'' (young) and ''Robbe'' (seal).
*[[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Otaria - From ''otarie'' ({{wp|sea lion}}).
*[[List of Korean Pokémon names|Korean]]: 쥬쥬 ''Jyujyu''
*[[List of Chinese Pokémon names|Chinese (Taiwan)]]: 小海獅 ''Xiǎo Hǎi Shī'' - "Small sea lion".

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

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

Pikachu is popularly known as the mascot of the [[Pokémon]] franchise and a major representative of [[Nintendo]]'s collective mascots.

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

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

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

In ''[[DP074|Pika and Goliath!]]'', when [[Ash's Pikachu]] was injured, it was shown to have a heart rate of 156.
====Gender differences====
A female Pikachu has a small v-shaped "dent" at the end of its tail that resembles a heart. Male Pikachu do not have this dent. However, both genders' tails resemble a lightning bolt, fitting their Electric typing.

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

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

Pikachu and its evolution family, {{p|Pichu}} and {{p|Raichu}}, are the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] that can learn {{m|Volt Tackle}}. In a [[Pikachu variants#Surfing Pikachu|few rare cases]], Pikachu can learn to {{m|Rain Dance|manipulate}} {{t|Water}} and, with the help of a surfboard, perform the move {{m|Surf}}. [[Pikachu variants#Flying Pikachu|Other rare cases]] show that Pikachu can also learn, with the use of balloons, to perform the move {{m|Fly}}. Pikachu also have their own signature held item - the {{DL|Stat-enhancing item|Light Ball}}. This item boosts a Pikachu's Attack and Special Attack stat, and, when held by a Pikachu in the daycare center, causes the offspring to know the move Volt Tackle.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
{{main|Pika}}
{{main|Chuchu}}
Pikachu debuted in its own round in the {{chap|Red, Green & Blue}}, ''[[PS004|Wanted: Pikachu!]]''. Here, a [[Pika|Pikachu]] was stealing all the crops in a town. The townsfolk kept chasing it around, but end up getting shocked by it. {{adv|Red}} arrives and captures it, ending the chaos. Although extremely disobedient at first, even prone to regularly electrocuting its owner, the two eventually got over this enmity, and this Pikachu, nicknamed "Pika," became one of his most loyal and trusted fighters, being used in almost every major battle Red has had.

In the [[Pokémon Adventures volume 9|ninth volume]], {{adv|Yellow}} is seen to have a new addition to her team: a [[Chuchu|Pikachu]] she had found injured in the [[Viridian Forest]] and nursed back to health. When Pika is left behind by Red on his trip to [[Mt. Silver]], Pika joins Yellow and Chuchu on their trip to Johto.

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

Wild Pikachu also appeared in the [[Ruby & Sapphire chapter (Adventures)|R/S]] and [[Diamond & Pearl chapter (Adventures)|D/P]] arcs.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

==Trivia==
* The "secret" move for Pikachu's evolution line, {{m|Volt Tackle}}, is actually based on (and in the Japanese version, named after) {{wp|Pulseman}}'s signature move, Volteccer. To get this move, a {{p|Pichu}} must be bred from a parent Pikachu or {{p|Raichu}} holding a [[Light Ball]], though this can only happen in {{game|Emerald}} and on.
** A level 10 Pikachu knowing Surf and Volt Tackle can be obtained from [[Pokémon Battle Revolution]] by defeating [[Stargazer Colosseum]] for the first time.
** Another way to obtain a Pikachu with Volt Tackle is in the Pokéwalker course Yellow Forest.
*[[File:PikachuCostume3.0.jpg|thumb|The newest Pikachu mascot costume debuted at the 2010 Pokémon World Championshups in Hawaii in August of 2010.]]Pikachu is the smallest, lightest, and the weakest [[version mascot]], likely owing to the fact that it is neither fully evolved nor legendary, unlike the rest.
*[[File:Jessie-39.jpg|thumb|The original Pikachu balloon shown in August of 2006 at its final appearance in the "Party of the Decade".]] There have been two Pikachu balloons in the {{wp|Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade}}. The first, known as the "Flying Pikachu" was flown from 2001 through 2005, was used in a morning rush hour test of wind conditions in {{wp|Times Square}} after an accident in 2005's parade, and made its' farewell appearance at the [[Pokémon 10th Anniversary|Party of the Decade]] in August of 2006 in New York City's Bryant Park. The second version features glowing cheeks and chases a [[Poké Ball]] balloon, and debuted in the 2006 parade.
* In the games, Pikachu is the first Pokémon to have its [[cry]] changed to that of its anime counterpart. This only happened in {{game|Yellow}}. [[Junichi Masuda]] details the modification of [[Ikue Ohtani]]'s voice to a sound capable of being made by the low-tech [[Game Boy]] in his [http://www.gamefreak.co.jp/blog/dir_english/?p=144 Director's Column]. In some parts of the game, though, Pikachu's original cry was used.
* Pikachu is in all six regional [[Pokédex]]es, though it is only known to be native to Kanto. It is imported from Kanto to Hoenn's Safari Zone and Mr. Backlot's house in Sinnoh. However, it may also be native to Fiore and/or Almia, as their presence there is unexplained.
* Pikachu is the first {{type2|Electric}} Pokémon in [[National Pokédex]] order. It is also the first unevolved Pokémon in National Pokédex order not to have its name changed in the United States release of Pokémon.
* Pikachu is one of fourteen Pokémon that one can collect [[Meister|foreign Pokédex entries]] for in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}.
* Pikachu and {{p|Raichu}} share the same [[species]] name with {{p|Rattata}}, {{p|Raticate}}, {{p|Sandshrew}}, and {{p|Sandslash}}. They are all known as Mouse Pokémon, although Rattata and Raticate have also been called the Rat Pokémon.
* On {{ga|Red}}'s final team in [[Mt. Silver]] at the end of the [[Johto]] games, Pikachu was the highest leveled Pokémon to be faced in any Pokémon game, excluding the [[Pokémon Stadium series|Stadium]]/{{pkmn|Colosseum}}/{{pkmn|Battle Revolution}} series and the [[Battle Tower]]/[[Battle Frontier]], at level 81. This places it one level higher than the wild {{p|Arceus}} that appears at the [[Hall of Origin]]. In {{game|Platinum}}, {{ga|Barry}}'s final party includes several members that are higher leveled than {{ga|Red's Pikachu}}, and higher-level {{p|Magikarp}} can be found in the [[Resort Area]]'s pond. However, with the advent of {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, Red's Pikachu is once more the highest leveled trained Pokémon, at level 88, and highest leveled Pokémon after the Magikarp from the Resort Area and discounting Battle Frontier-esque facilities and games as noted above.
* Pikachu is the first Pokémon in the National Pokédex listing to have a {{pkmn2|baby}} relative.
** This also makes it the first Pokémon in National Pokédex order to be related to a Pokémon of another generation.
* Pikachu is also the first Pokémon in National Pokédex order that evolves by way of an [[evolutionary stone]].
* Pikachu is the only Pokémon included in the [[Pokémon Stadium (Japanese)|original Pokémon Stadium]] that was {{p|Raichu|capable of evolving further}} when the game was released. Strangely, Raichu was excluded from the said game.
* Pikachu is the only starter Pokémon which cannot be evolved in the game that it is the starter for.
** Pikachu is also the only [[main series]] [[starter Pokémon]] that does not have a 7:1 male to female gender ratio.
*In 2008, Japanese researchers discovered a new protein which helps carry electrical impulses from the eyes to the brain and named it {{wp|Pikachurin}}. According to the researchers, the decision was based on both Pokémon and protein possessing "lightning-fast moves and shocking electric effects".
* Pikachu has appeared in every non-special episode, as well as in every Pokémon movie.
* In {{game|Red and Blue|s}}, Pikachu's sprite shows it having a yellow stomach pouch. This is never shown again in later games.
* Pikachu is the only starter Pokémon to have, at the time, only had one evolution in its evolutionary family.
* Wild Pikachu are available in every region except Johto. A player would have to travel to Kanto in order to find wild Pikachu in [[Generation II]].
* On page 81 of Neil Gaiman's novella ''{{wp|Coraline}}'', there is a Pikachu doll among the other toys in the illustration.
* In the July 18, 2010 comic of [[wp:Foxtrot (comic)|Foxtrot]], Jason tries to dress up in cartoon characters for a comic convention. One of his choices was Pikachu.
*Pikachu's backsprite in Generation II shows the end of its tail pointing straight up and facing the wrong way. This never occurs again.
*Pikachu is the only playable Pokémon in the Super Smash Bros. series to have a gender difference.
**It and Pichu are also the only playable Pokémon in the series to have a 1:1 gender ratio.
===Origin===
Pikachu has physical aspects resembling several species of {{wp|rodent}}s. Although, due to the name and species of this Pokémon (Mouse), it may be based off a {{wp|pika}}.
====Name origin====
Pikachu is a combination of ピカピカ ''pikapika'' which is Japanese onomatopoeia for sparkle and チューチュー ''chūchū'' which is the sound of squeaking. It may be named after the {{wp|pika}}, a lagomorph, but this is less likely.

'''Mothim''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ガーメイル''' ''Gamale'') is a dual-type {{2t|Bug|Flying}} Pokémon.

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

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Mothim has four tan-colored wings, two large and two small, with orange circles adorning them. The wings split to three at the tip of the larger wings and splits in two at the tips of the smaller wings. Mothim has a black head, with orange eyes and two red and gray antennae above his head. Mothim's body is also black with a patch of orange on the underside and his legs are gray. He also has a small black tail that splits into two. It doesn't matter what form Burmy was in before it evolved; Mothim will always look the same. They also will have a small gray stripe running down their back.
====Gender differences====
Mothim is a male-only species. For its female counterpart, see {{p|Wormadam}}.

====Special abilities====
Like its female counterpart, Mothim is capable of learning a few {{type2|Psychic}} moves. Mothim is also capable of using moves considered standard for butterfly- or moth-like Pokémon, such as {{m|Bug Buzz}} and {{m|Silver Wind}}.

===Behavior===
Mothim is a nomadic, nocturnal Pokémon that always remains on the move, searching for honey. It tends to steal honey that {{p|Combee}} has collected.

===Habitat===
Mothim do not have a fixed habitat, as they migrate throughout the country searching for nectar.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}
Mothim love to eat [[honey]], and it is likely part of their daily diet as they're always flying around in search of some. Mothim have also been known to steal honey from {{p|Combee}} as well.

==In the anime==
[[File: Mothim Psybeam.png|thumb|250px|Mothim in the anime]]
[[Cheryl]] has a {{TP|Cheryl|Mothim}}, which assisted in finding the Amber Castle.
He appeared in episodes between ''[[DP030|Some Enchanted Sweetening]]'' and ''[[DP032|An Angry Combeenation]]''.

A Mothim appeared in ''[[DP078|Pruning a Passel of Pals!]]''.

A group of Mothim appeared in ''[[DP109|Leading a Stray!]]''.

A Mothim also appeared in ''[[DP140|Historical Mystery Tour!]]''.

Another one appeared in [[DP163]], where it battled [[Barry's Empoleon]].

==Trivia==
*Though there are three Pokémon based on moths ({{p|Venomoth}} and {{p|Dustox}} are the other two), Mothim is the only one that is part {{t|Flying}}.
**However, it may be supposed that {{p|Masquerain}} is a moth.
*As of [[Generation IV]], Mothim (along with {{p|Cherubi}}) is one of two Pokémon related to a Pokémon with [[form differences]] that does not have a form difference itself.
*Even though its body is black and orange, it is classed as being yellow in the Pokédex. This is probably because its wings are a tan-yellow color. A similar situation happens with {{p|Butterfree}}.
===Origin===
Mothim is based on an adult {{wp|Bagworm Moth}}, which only fully mature if male.
====Name origin====
Mothim's Japanese name is derived from 蛾 ''ga'', moth, and ''male''. Mothim comes from ''moth'' and ''him''.

==In other languages==
*[[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Moterpel - From ''Motte'' (moth).
*[[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Papilord - From ''papillon'' (butterfly) and ''lord''.
*[[List of Korean Pokémon names|Korean]]: 나메일 ''Namale'' - Combination of 나방 ''nabang'' (moth) and ''male''.
*[[List of Chinese Pokémon names|Chinese (Taiwan)]]: 紳士蛾 ''Shēn Shì É'' - Literally "Gentleman moth".

'''Porygon-Z''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ポリゴンZ''' ''PorygonZ'') is a {{type2|Normal}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Porygon2}} when [[trade]]d holding a {{DL|Evolution-inducing held item|Dubious Disc}}. It is the final evolution of {{p|Porygon}}.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Porygon-Z is a modification of {{P|Porygon2}}. Porygon-Z appears similar to Porygon2, albeit darker in color. Most notably, its head is detached from the body and upside down, much like {{P|Porygon}}'s legs, with no visible neck and yellow eyes with a dartboard pattern. Its bill is more round, and doesn't curve down as it did in its Porygon2 stage. Its legs are now wing-like, and its posture resembles that of a hummingbird. The tail is a little plumper, with the blue pattern on its chest no longer being isolated and now connecting to its legs/wings.

====Gender differences====
Porygon-Z is a genderless species.

====Special abilities====
Porygon-Z, and its pre-evolved forms, {{p|Porygon}}, and {{p|Porygon2}}, are the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] that can learn {{m|Conversion}} and {{m|Conversion 2}}.

Porygon-Z has significantly higher Special Attack power than Porygon2 and is slightly faster. However, Porygon-Z also has weaker defenses.

===Behavior===
Being a cybernetic Pokémon, it exhibits the behavior that was programmed into it as a Porygon. However, it may also display emotions and some erratic behavior that was not a part of its programming. Porygon-Z can sometimes be seen shaking rapidly for a short time. Whether this is intentional or a glitch is unknown.

===Habitat===
Porygon-Z normally live in cyberspace, but they can live practically anywhere due to the lack of the need to breathe.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}
Since it is a virtual Pokémon, it has no need to eat.

==In the anime==
As with {{p|Porygon2}}, it is currently believed that Porygon-Z will not appear in the anime as a result of the ''[[EP038|Electric Soldier Porygon]]'' incident, except possibly as a brief cameo. It is currently the only Generation IV Pokémon that has not appeared in the movies or anime yet.

Note: Porygon-Z can learn either {{m|Conversion}} or {{m|Conversion 2}}, which can allow Porygon-Z to change its type.

===Learnset===
Note: With the use of {{m|Conversion}} or {{m|Conversion 2}}, any damaging move can theoretically become a STAB for Porygon-Z.

==Trivia==
* Porygon-Z is the only Pokémon whose Japanese name is spelled with a character from a foreign alphabet.
* Porygon-Z is the only Pokémon that can learn {{m|Trick Room}} by leveling up.
* Porygon-Z shares the highest {{stat|Special Attack}} stat of all non-legendary Pokémon with {{p|Alakazam}}.
** This also means that Porygon-Z has the highest Special Attack of all Normal-type Pokémon.
*** As its ability, {{a|Adaptability}}, also raises its [[STAB]] to 2x, its {{m|Hyper Beam}} becomes one of the strongest attacks in the game.
* Porygon-Z weighs exactly as much as {{ga|Dawn}} .
* The {{DL|Evolution-inducing held item|Dubious Disc}}'s name implies that Porygon-Z, unlike its pre-evolution, was not authorized by [[Silph Co.]]
* Porygon-Z's pre-evolutions have their own [[signature move|signature]] Conversion move, but no new Conversion-style move was made for Porygon-Z.
* Porygon-Z is one of eight Pokémon whose name has a non-alphabetic character in it, the others being {{p|Nidoran♀}}, {{p|Nidoran♂}}, {{p|Farfetch'd}}, {{p|Mr. Mime}}, {{p|Porygon2}}, {{p|Ho-Oh}} and {{p|Mime Jr.}}
* Since no leveling up is required to evolve Porygon-Z, Porygon-Z is one of two fully evolved three-stage Pokémon capable of legitimately being level 1 ({{p|Roserade}} being the other), and the only one that can't skip its fully unevolved form.
* Porygon-Z is the only Pokémon that evolves from a Pokémon that evolves via [[trade|trading]] while [[held item|holding an item]]. It is also the only Pokémon who evolves from a Pokémon who already evolved from methods other than leveling up (not including evolutionary lines where baby Pokémon are the first stage).
*Porygon-Z only has 20 more total base stats than Porygon2. Porygon-Z has 30 more points in Special Attack and Speed, but 20 less in Defense and Special Defense.

===Origin===
Like Porygon and Porygon2, it is based on an origami crane made with 3D computer graphics. Its appearance with respect to Porygon2, as well as its unprogrammed behaviors, suggest that it may be based on the concept of a computer virus having infected Porygon2.

====Name origin====
Porygon-Z's name is a mix between ''{{wp|polygon}}'' and ''{{wp|origami}}''. It may also reflect the stereotype that Japanese people pronounce their 'L' sounds as 'R' sounds, Porygon being a mispronunciation of polygon. The "Z" could either refer to the {{wp|Z axis}} in [[wp:Three-dimensional space|3D]] coordination systems or that Porygon-Z is the last of its evolutionary line (since the letter Z is the last letter of the {{wp|Latin alphabet}}). It is also possible that the "Z" was used as a corruption of "2", due to the fact that Porygon-Z is a glitched version of Porygon2.

==In other languages==
*[[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Porygon-Z
*[[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Porygon-Z

Sacred Ash

2010-09-04T01:53:40Z

Ashclaw: /* Generation IV */

[[File:Bag Sacred Ash Sprite.png|frame|right]]
The '''Sacred Ash''' (Japanese: '''せいなるはい''' ''Sacred Ash'') is a healing item found in all games since Generation II. Unlike other items in general, which work on only one {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, the Sacred Ash, when used, is used on multiple Pokémon at a time. It is very rare, and can only be used once, making it a very popular item for {{pkmn|cloning}} [[glitch]]es or obtaining it by other illegitimate methods.

==Uses==
[[Generation II]]:
The Sacred Ash [[HP|heals]] and [[PP|restores]] ''all'' Pokémon in the party, as long as one Pokémon has fainted.

[[Generation III]] onwards:
The Sacred Ash heals and restores ''only'' Pokémon who have fainted.

==Locations==
The Sacred Ash is typically found only once per game, and will often have some relation to {{p|Ho-Oh}}.
===Generation II===
In {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}, the wild Ho-Oh that appears at the [[Bell Tower|Tin Tower]] will be holding a Sacred Ash, as will any other Ho-Oh encountered in the wild through hacking.

===Generation III===
In {{game2|FireRed|LeafGreen|Emerald}}, the Sacred Ash is found on [[Navel Rock]], if the player uses the [[Itemfinder]] after capturing or defeating Ho-Oh.

Sacred Ashes can be found through the ability [[Pickup]], or on the floor in Pokéballs in the {{DL|Battle Frontier (Generation III)|Battle Pyramid}}; however, they cannot be kept.

The Ho-Oh obtained from [[Pokémon Colosseum]] holds a Sacred Ash.

By defeating {{DL|Battle CD|Battle CD 46}}, the player can earn another Sacred Ash as a prize in {{Pokémon XD}}.

===Generation IV===
In {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}, players can obtain it by having a Pokémon hold it in [[Generation III]] and sending it through [[Pal Park]]. Wild Ho-Oh, which can only be encountered with a cheating device, will always be holding this item.

In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, there are up to two Sacred Ashes in the game. The first is obtained by talking to the Professor's aide in the right gatehouse on Route 2, while the second is held by the {{p|Ho-Oh}} at the top of the [[Bell Tower]], just as it was in Generation II.

==Note==
Since Sacred Ash cannot be used in battle (unlike [[Max Revive]]), its net effect can be achieved by applying at most 5 Revives followed by at most 6 Hyper/Max Potions, and so it is worth at most 22500 Poké in terms of utility alone.
