'''Jynx''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ルージュラ''' ''Rougela'') is a dual-type {{2t|Ice|Psychic}} Pokémon.

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

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Jynx is a humanoid Pokémon that resembles a bulky woman. Jynx wears a red gown (it may or may not have feet), has white arms and purple hands. Jynx has a purple face, pink lips, saucer-like eyes and long blond hair. It seems to resemble a Nordic princess, as seen in various operas. Originally, its face was colored black, causing many to think of it as racist.
====Gender differences====
Jynx is a female-only species with no male counterpart.

====Special abilities====
Jynx can use {{m2|Psychic|telepathy}} to transfer visions of what they've seen into a another being's mind. In battle, Jynx have the power to {{m2|Blizzard|control ice and snow}} and can also use physical force to some degree.

Jynx is the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] that learns {{m|Lovely Kiss}}.

===Behavior===
===Habitat===
[[Image:Urban.gif|left|frame|[[List of Pokémon by habitat#Urban Pokémon|Urban Pokémon]]]]
Jynx tend to prefer icy climates, such as caves in snowy mountains. In [[Holiday Hi-Jynx]], various Jynx are seen in [[Santa Claus|Santa]]'s toy factory.

===Diet===
''Main article: [[Pokémon food]]''

==In the anime==
[[Image:Jynx anime.jpg|right|thumb|Jynx in the anime]]
Jynx first appeared in ''[[Holiday Hi-Jynx]]''. One of [[Santa Claus]]'s Jynx was separated from him. [[Ash Ketchum|Ash]] and [[Ash's friends|co.]] helped to return the Jynx to her owner.

Jynx was also in a Pokémon stage show for ''[[EP090|Stage Fight]]''.

[[Lorelei|Prima]] owns a Jynx. She used it to send [[Team Rocket]] flying in ''[[EP099|The Mandarin Island Miss Match]]''.

A [[Nurse Joy]] from the unaired episode, ''[[EP250|The Ice Cave!]]'', owned a Jynx. [[Brock]] almost kissed this Human-Shaped Pokémon during his sickly state.

A Jynx was also used by a girl named [[Erica]] in the [[Pacifidlog Town]] Contest in ''[[AG115|Mean With Envy]]'' and ''[[AG116|Pacifidlog Jam]]''.

A trio of Jynx sisters were in ''[[AG168|Three Jynx and a Baby]]''. These three Jynx were overly-protective towards their sister, a {{p|Smoochum}}. The Smoochum evolved into a Jynx at the end of the episode.

==In the manga==
Jynx's most notable role is being under the ownership of [[Lorelei]] in [[Pokémon Special]]. Lorelei's Jynx is noted for having the ability to generate voodoo dolls out of ice using its {{m|Ice Beam}}. When Lorelei draws crosses on any part of the dolls using her lipstick, ice shackles form on the specified body parts of her targets, eventually freezing the victim over completely. Even after the victims are broken free, the freeze induces lasting numbness in the areas where it was applied. Both {{Special|Red}} and [[Sabrina]] suffered this condition and had to seek a cure atop [[Mt. Silver]] by bathing in the hotsprings there.

Another ability of Lorelei's Jynx is revealed in the [[Sevii Islands]] saga: it can create a wispy band of ice around targets, with which Lorelei can use to track down using her powder case.

==Trivia==
* Before Generation IV, Jynx was the only Ice-type Pokémon that was able to learn {{m|Ice Punch}} by leveling up.
* Jynx is one of the few Pokémon who naturally learn a [[move]] in a game in one generation, but then never learn it again in another generation, in this case the move is {{m|Thrash}} in Generation I.
*Jynx's name consists of no vowels.
* For a time it was believed that the black representing Jynx's face in the original [[Generation I]] games was actually a nothingness, a lack of form instead of Jynx's actual body (kind of like {{P|Gastly}} and {{P|Cloyster}} in its main body being composed of only a rather featureless black orb with various decoration on it, in this case, a dress, wig, and possibly gloves held up by Jynx's psychic power). This is more apparent in the original {{eng|Pokémon Stadium}} when after being defeated, Jynx's body would suddenly disappear leaving only a empty dress and blond wig to fall to the floor in a pile.
* Jynx and its pre-evolution, {{p|Smoochum}}, are the only Pokémon that learn {{m|Avalanche}} by leveling up.
* Jynx's {{stat|Defense}} stat is the lowest of all fully-evolved Ice-types.
* In Generation II, Jynx' shiny sprite is almost the same color as it was.

===Controversy===
[[Image:Controversial Jynx.jpg|thumb|right|Jynx's original design, that is considered to be a racist stereotype of African-Americans.|150px]]
Jynx originally bore a striking, but possibly coincidental, resemblance to entertainers in [[wp:blackface|blackface]]. A strong case can be made for Jynx being a parody of or homage to the Japanese [[wp:Ganguro|Ganguro]] and Yamanba fashion trends, which were extremely popular when Pokémon was first released, but it can't be denied that blackface-influenced characters have appeared elsewhere in anime and manga - examples can be found near the beginning of Osamu Tezuka's early graphic novel, [[wp:Metropolis (manga)|Metropolis]] and also can be found with Dragon Ball Z's Mr. Popo.

As Pokémon became more popular in the US, this perceived similarity to a racist image from America's past offended some. In particular, it had offended children's book author Carole Boston Weatherford, who accused Jynx of being a racist stereotype in an article titled Politically Incorrect Pokémon in the magazine Black World Today, shortly after the anime episode ''[[Holiday Hi-Jynx]]'' aired. Episodes later on are also either banned or cut in USA.

In response to this controversy, in 2002, [[Nintendo]] changed Jynx's face from black to purple and its hands from blue to purple in Pokémon games, a change which would be reflected in the anime three years later in Advanced Generation.

===Origin===
What Jynx is based on is a controversial topic within the fandom, although common interpretations are a Nordic woman (possibly [[wp:Hel (goddess)|Hel]], goddess of the underworld), or ガン黒 ''[[wp:Ganguro|ganguro]]'', ''face-black''. Also, the fact that Jynx are depicted as Santa's helpers in the anime can be a proof that Jynx is based on [[wp:Zwarte Piet|Zwarte Piet]].

Jynx may also have origins in the Japanese spirits known as [[wp:Yuki Onna|Yuki Onna]] (who has no feet like Jynx) or [[wp:Yama Uba|Yama Uba]], the latter of which is described as always wearing a tattered red kimono and having whitish-blonde hair (all traits shared by Jynx).
====Name origin====
A ''[[wp:Jinx|jinx]]'' is a curse or hex of bad luck. ''Rougela'' appears to be a feminized version of ''[[wp:Rouge|rouge]]'', a type of makeup.

[[Image:TheGreatEightFate.jpg|thumb|right|Juan's Seaking using {{m|Horn Drill}} on [[Ash's Corphish]].]]
[[Ash Ketchum]], [[Misty]], and [[Professor Oak]] have owned Seaking in the past, though Ash and Misty released theirs only a short time after capturing it, due to the rules of the competition.

[[Juan]] also owns a Seaking, which was used in a Gym Battle against Ash in ''[[AG110|The Great Eight Fate]]''. Juan's Seaking was able to block {{t|electric}}al attacks with {{m|Horn Drill}} and send them back at its opponent.

==Trivia==
*Seaking's prototype name was "Neptune", named after the god of the sea in Roman mythology.
*In its {{game3|Red and Green|Red, Green|s}}, and {{game3|Red and Blue|Blue|s}} sprites, its horn is twice as long as normal.
*Seaking is the subject of a meme on the *chan sites, known as "F*** YEAH SEAKING", in which it destroys things. Many declare it a forced meme, and use {{p|Mudkip}} as its remedy. An example is [http://www.snafu-comics.com/?strip_id=290 here.]
*If Seaking is based upon "sea" and "king", and {{p|Goldeen}} "queen of the sea", then a queen is evolving into a king.
*Seaking and Goldeen are the only Pokémon that can learn {{m|Waterfall}} through leveling up. This makes it one of few Pokémon released to be able to learn an HM move by level-up.
*Despite being called '''Sea'''king, it is found in fresh water, like real life {{wp|goldfish}}.
**In the [[Pal Park]], it is found in the Pond Area.
===Origin===
It seems to be based on a species of {{wp|goldfish}} known as Azuma Nishiki (東錦). The horn part may be based on Matsya, an avatar that the hindu god {{wp|Vishnu}} assumed, which is sometimes depicted as a fish with a horn.
====Name origin====
Seaking's name is simply a combination of ''sea'' and ''king'' (seeking?). Its Japanese name may be based on 小豆鱒 ''azukimasu'', {{wp|rock cod}} and 魔王 ''ma-ō'', devil king. Interestingly enough, its Japanese name may also be taken to literally mean 東王 ''azuma-ō'', East king. Furthermore, an アズマニシキ ''azumanishiki'' is a kind of goldfish. Likely the name is meant to compliment Goldeen's "queenliness" with a combination of the Azuma Nishiki (東錦) goldfish and the Japanese word for king, ''ou'' (王).

==In other languages==
* [[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Golking
* [[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Poissoroy - ''Poisson'' means fish. ''Roy'' could be a mispelling of ''roi'' meaning king.
* [[List of Korean Pokémon names|Korean]]: 왕콘치 ''Wangkonchi''

'''Goldeen''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''トサキント''' ''Tosakinto'') is a {{type2|Water}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolve]]s into {{p|Seaking}} at [[level]] 33.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Goldeen is a white fish Pokémon with orange markings on its tail, fins and along the top of its body. Goldeen's tail fin is admired by many for its beauty as it billows very much like a ballroom dress. Goldeen has a large horn on its forehead.
====Gender differences====
A female has a smaller horn.

====Special abilities====
Goldeen's large and dangerous horn is its main weapon. Although not known as an aggressive Pokémon, people swimming in waters that Goldeen are known to inhabit should be wary of being rammed.
===Behavior===
Goldeen can be seen swimming upstream in large schools during the breeding season of Spring. Goldeen swims at a steady speed of five knots. Goldeen love to frolic and dance in bodies of water and dislike being kept in captivity. A Goldeen in an aquarium will use its powerful horn to smash its way to freedom.
===Habitat===
[[Image:Watersedge.gif|left|frame|[[List of Pokémon by habitat#Water's-edge Pokémon|Water's-edge Pokémon]]]]
Goldeen are a very common sight in any water body.

===Diet===
''Main article: [[Pokémon food]]''

==In the anime==
[[Image:Misty_goldeen.jpg|right|thumb|[[Misty's Goldeen]]]]
[[Misty's Goldeen]] first appeared in ''[[EP002|Pokémon Emergency!]]''.

Another Goldeen appeared in ''[[EP012|Here Comes the Squirtle Squad]]''. [[Ash's Squirtle|A Squirtle]] knocked {{AP|Pikachu}} into a lake which angered the Goldeen. It proceeded to attack Pikachu with a {{m|Horn Attack}} which severely injured it.

A Goldeen appeared in [[DP089]].

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

==Other appearances==
===[[Super Smash Bros.]]===
When released from a [[Poké Ball]], Goldeen will use {{m|Splash}}, not being much of a threat.

===[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]===
When released from a [[Poké Ball]], Goldeen will use {{m|Splash}}, not being much of a threat.

Goldeen is also a Pokéfloat. It will appear from the bottom of the screen but quickly drop down to the bottom again, K.O.ing any character it hits.

====Trophy information====
These Water-types are often referred to as "water dancers," as their elegant fins make them incredible agile underwater. They can even travel upstream in rapids at a speed of five knots; of course, they're not quite as nimble on dry land. Goldeen's {{M|Horn Drill}} is so strong that it can KO an enemy with one strike if it connects.

===[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]===
Goldeen will sometimes be found in a Poké Ball and will use {{m|Splash}} when released. It still does nothing to affect the battle. On the official blog, Masahiro Sakurai commented that Goldeen appearing at the most critical of times is in keeping with {{wp|Murphy's Law}}.

==Trivia==
* In its {{game3|Red and Green|Red, Green|s}}, and {{game3|Red and Blue|Blue|s}} sprites, its horn is twice as long as normal.
* Goldeen was originally going to be called "Gold''y''".
* Goldeen, as well as Seaking, has been in all regional [[Pokédex]]es.
* Goldeen and Seaking are the only two Pokémon that can learn {{m|Waterfall}} through [[level]] up.
* Goldeen has the same in-game cry as {{p|Caterpie}}.
===Origin===
It seems to be based on a {{wp|goldfish}}. The horn part may be based on Matsya, an avatar that the hindu god {{wp|Vishnu}} assumed, which is sometimes depicted as a fish with a horn.
====Name origin====
Goldeen's name may be a combination of ''goldfish'' and ''queen''. Its Japanese name stems from とさきん ''tosakin'', a kind of goldfish.

==In other languages==
*[[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Goldini
*[[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Poissirene - ''Poisson'' means fish, and ''sirène'' means siren or mermaid.

'''Cubone''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''カラカラ''' ''Karakara'') is a {{type2|Ground}} Pokémon.

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

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Cubone appears to be a small brown dinosaur-like Pokémon, that constantly wears a skull (supposedly the skull of its mother) like a helmet, which masks its true face from view, a puzzlement for many trainers and researchers. It carries another bone, which it uses to attack with moves like {{m|Bone Club}}.

Cubone has a plump body, with strong limbs to carry its bone as a weapon around wherever it goes. A small tail is also present for balance, but it can be used for attacking.

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

====Special abilities====
It has the ability to wield its bone as an effective weapon, or throw it in the same manner as a {{m2|Bonemerang|boomerang}}.

Cubone, and its evolved form, {{p|Marowak}}, are the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] that learn {{m|Bone Club}} and {{m|Bonemerang}}.

===Behavior===
It is constantly lonely, for one reason or another, and moans plaintively. It dislikes keeping company or making new friends, and its social skills are almost non-existant.

During the night, it cries for its lost mother and it is unable to let go of the memory of her. Its cries echo within the skull and it comes out as a pained and sad melody that can travel for miles around its mountain homeland. Sometimes, it can emit mournful sounds during the day. On the night of a full moon, its cries are the loudest - for it seems to recognize its mother's face in the moon.

It is largely unknown where the mothers go after birth, but it is speculated that it dies almost immediately after childbirth. This death may set the basis of personality for all Cubone.

===Habitat===
[[Image:Mountain.gif|right|frame|[[List of Pokémon by habitat#Mountain Pokémon|Mountain Pokémon]]]]
Cubone live in rocky areas where they can easily find bones in old sediment that can be millions of years old. This is where they find the bones they often use as weapons. Sometimes, they prefer to live in dark caves where they can mourn alone.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

==In the anime==
[[Image:Cubone anime.gif|right|thumb|A sad [[Giselle]] with her just as sad Cubone.]]
Cubone first appeared in ''[[EP009|The School of Hard Knocks]]'' under the ownership of [[Giselle]]. She used Cubone against [[Ash's Pikachu]].

Cubone also appeared in ''[[EP047|A Chansey Operation]]'' as an injured Pokémon.

A Cubone was among the four Pokémon that were causing trouble for {{p|Pikachu}} and co. during ''[[Pikachu's Vacation]]''.

A Cubone was helping {{MTR}} preparing his party in [[Pichu Bros. in Party Panic]]. This Cubone played drums in Meowth's band and got easily sad and gloomy when Meowth chewed it out, but it was also easily consolable.

==In the manga==
===In the Pokémon Special manga===
Cubone makes a cameo in ''[[PS005|Onix is On!]]'', part of the [[Red, Green & Blue chapter (Special)|Red, Green & Blue]] chapter, battling against {{Special|Red}}'s Bulbasaur as a [[Pewter Gym]] trainer's Pokémon.

{{Special|Crystal}} owns a Cubone, who has a star-shaped crack in its skull. Cubone's main role in the team is to take out targets from afar using its bone-based attacks.

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

==Other appearances==
===[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]===
*In the [[Pokémon Stadium 2 (stage)|Pokémon Stadium 2]] stage, a Cubone can be seen on the {{t|Ground}} Terrain standing atop the highest platform built into a rock. {{p|Dugtrio}} and Pokémon [[fossil]]s can also be seen on the Ground Terrain.

==Merchandise==
Cubone was one of the first four Pokémon designs revealed when the [[Pokémon 151]] brand was first announced. In the shirt design, Cubone's skull is in the center of the shirt, with two [[Thick Club]]s in crossing below it.

==Trivia==
*Cubone's name for English audiences was originally going to be "Orphon," a reference to how it's orphaned at birth.
*Despite wearing the skull of its dead mother, Cubone can be bred in the games with no ill effects on its mother.
*In Pokemon Red (Japanese), Green and Silver, Cubone's sprites depict it holding its bone in its left hand.
*Cubone is one of the five Pokémon to appear in the [[Pokémon 151]] clothing line so far.
===Origin===
It may be based on the {{wp|Australian Aborigines|aboriginal Australians}} who throw {{wp|boomerang}}s to catch food.
====Name origin====
Cubone's name might be a combination of ''cute'' and ''bone'', ''cub'' and ''bone'', or ''{{wp|Billiard ball|cue ball}}'' (a reference to its pale white head) and ''bone''. ''Karakara'' may be taken to mean からから, clattering. It is worth noting that ''karakara'' denotes lighter clattering than ''{{p2|Marowak|garagara}}''.

==In other languages==
*[[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Tragosso - A combination of ''{{tt|tragen|To carry or wear}}'' or ''{{tt|tragisch|Dramatically}}'' and ''oss'', a form of the Latin word for bone.
*[[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Osselait - A combination of ''{{tt|osselet|Small bone}}'' and ''{{tt|lait|Milk}}'', referring to the young age and need for a mother.

'''Exeggcute''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''タマタマ''' ''Tamatama'') is a dual-type {{2t|Grass|Psychic}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolve]]s into {{p|Exeggutor}} by {{evostone|Leaf Stone}}.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Exeggcute resemble light pink eggs. The shells have some cracks on them (and may even have their yolk/brain exposed). Despite obviously looking like eggs, Exeggcute are actually similar to plant seeds.
====Gender differences====
None.

====Special abilities====
Exeggcute are capable of several {{t|Grass}}- and {{type2|Psychic}} moves, like {{m|Dream Eater}}, which combines well with its two sleep moves, {{m|Sleep Powder}} and {{m|Hypnosis}}. Exeggcute use a special kind of telepathy that always makes them form groups of six.

Exeggcute, and its evolved form, {{p|Exeggutor}}, are the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] that learn {{m|Barrage}}.

Unusually for {{type2|Psychic}} Pokémon, Exeggcute and {{p|Exeggutor}} are unable to learn {{m|Calm Mind}} without a cheating device.

===Behavior===
These Pokémon gather together in swarms of six. They communicate with each other by using a form of telepathy that only they can understand.

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

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

==In the anime==
[[Image:Animexeggcute.jpg|frame|right|Exeggcute in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]Exeggcute first appeared in ''[[EP043|The March of the Exeggutor Squad]]''. The Egg Pokémon was owned by an incompetent magician named [[Melvin]]. Exeggcute managed to hypnotize {{Ash}} and Melvin forced Ash to capture a bunch of {{p|Exeggutor}}. Melvin's Exeggcute managed to [[evolve]], but without using a [[Leaf Stone]].

Exeggcute also appeared in ''[[Pikachu's Rescue Adventure]]''. {{AP|Pikachu}} and company, plus an {{p|Elekid}}, found [[Misty's Togepi]] hanging around an Exeggcute that was missing a member of its batch. It evolved when all the eggs were back together, standing on a Leaf Stone.

==In the manga==
[[Bill]] is seen with an Exeggcute in [[Pokémon Special]]. Prior to the events of {{PSV|23}}, it has since evolved into {{p|Exeggutor}}.

==In the TCG==

==Trivia==
*Exeggcute is one of five Pokémon with seven weaknesses, the others being its evolution {{p|Exeggutor}}, {{p|Snover}} and {{p|Abomasnow}}, and the [[Legendary Pokémon|legendary]] {{p|Celebi}}.
*Most of Exeggcute's sprites show the middle "egg" being larger than the rest, particularly in the {{2v2|Red|Blue}} sprite.
*Exeggcute shares the same [[species]] name with {{p|Chansey}}. They are both known as Egg Pokémon.
*Every sprite to this very date (excluding back sprites) has shown at least one ''broken'' egg, which is shown most prominently in the {{2v2|Diamond|Pearl}} backsprites. The other eggs are 'cracked'.
*Its sprite for Ruby/Sapphire/Emerald is the reverse of its Silver sprite.
*Exeggcute's broken egg has a face on the back of its head, as shown in [[My Pokémon Ranch|Pokémon Ranch]].
*In ''Pikachu's Rescue Adventure'', it's hinted that each of Exeggcute's members may have an individual sense of identity, even though they are all considered to be just one Pokémon.
*The only backsprites featuring all six of Exeggcute's eggs were generations {{gen|I}} and {{gen|IV}}. The others only feature four eggs.

===Origin===
It appears to be a mixture of a batch of eggs as well as a set of coconuts.

====Name origin====
Exeggcute's name is a play on the phrase "eggs are cute." It is also a play on the word ''execute''. ''Tamatama'' could be taken to mean 偶々, unexpectedly, although it is more likely to be derived from 玉 ''tama'', sphere, doubled. It is worth noting that the Japanese word for egg is 卵 ''tamago''.

==In other languages==
*[[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Owei
*[[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Noeunoeuf - Comes from the word ''oeuf'' pronounced twice. ''Oeuf'' means egg.
*[[List of Korean Pokémon names|Korean]]: 아라리 ''Arari''

Kingler's first major role was in ''[[EP063|The Battle of the Badge]]'', under the ownership of [[Giovanni]]. He used it in his Gym battle against {{Gary}}'s {{TP|Gary|Nidoking}} and {{TP|Gary|Arcanine}}. Despite the type disadvantage, Giovanni's Kingler was defeated by Gary's Arcanine. Giovanni had loaned his Kingler to [[Jessie]], [[James]] and {{MTR}} when he put them in charge of the [[Viridian Gym]] while he was out.

==Trivia==
* Kingler has one claw much larger than the other, but in the Red/Blue sprite they are the same size and width. However, this may be due to Kingler holding one claw closer than the other.
*Kingler's Red and Blue sprites are symmetrical.
* With the exception of the afformentioned Red/Blue sprite, Kingler's left claw (''right'' to viewers') is always the larger of the two, however, in Kingler's [[Generation I]] back sprite, the claws are reversed. Its right claw becomes the bigger one.
*Kingler shares the same [[species]] name with {{p|Scizor}}. They are both known as Pincer Pokémon, though Scizor has also been called the Scissors Pokémon.
*Kingler and its pre-evolution {{p|Krabby}} are two of the four [[Pokémon]] that can learn {{m|Crabhammer}} by level up ({{p|Corphish}} and {{p|Crawdaunt}} being the other two Pokémon).
*With a [[base stat|base attack]] of 130, Kingler has the highest {{Stat|attack}} stat of any {{type2|Water}} Pokémon.

===Origin===
Kingler is very similar to a fiddler crab.
====Name origin====
Kingler's name might be a combination of ''{{wp|King crab|king}}'' and ''{{wp|Fiddler crab|fiddler}}'' - both species of {{wp|crab}}.

==In other languages==
*[[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Kingler
*[[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Krabboss - From "crabe" that means crab, and "boss", the same word as in English.
*[[List of Korean Pokémon names|Korean]]: 킹크랩 ''Kingkeuraep'' - A combination of translitterations of ''King'' and ''crab''

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

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

==Biology==
===Physiology===
The horn on Seel's head is exceptionally hard, and its made of toughened bone. Seel lives in the frigid waters of the arctic, surviving because of its thick {{a2|Thick Fat|blubber}}.

This hide of fat looks like its 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 {{a2|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===
[[Image:Sea.gif|left|frame|[[List of Pokémon by habitat#Sea Pokémon|Sea Pokémon]]]]
Seel loves to live in extremely cold seas, such as in the Arctic, 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.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

==In the anime==
[[Image:Mahri.jpg|thumb|right|Mahri and her Seel, caught in the whirlpool]]
Multiple [[Seel (Cerulean Gym)|Seel]] are owned by [[Misty]] and her sisters at the [[Cerulean Gym]].

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]].

==In the manga==
In [[Pokémon Special]], 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==
* Its [[Generation I]] back sprite doesn't show its tail and instead shows its tongue out. Its tongue is visible in all the frontal sprites.
* Seel's muzzle was originally white in the [[Generation I]] and [[Generation II]] games. Starting in [[Generation III]], its muzzle turned a peach color.
* Seel is one of the three non-{{type|Ice}}s which evolve into an Ice-type, together with {{p|Shellder}} and {{p|Eevee}}.
* Even though the Pokédex states that Seel swims in water as cold as -40C, the {{wp|Arctic Ocean}}'s water temperature is usually around the freezing point for sea water, which is -1.8C.

===Origin===
Seel is based on seal cups, 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
*[[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Otaria - ''Otarie'' means sealion.

'''Dodrio''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ドードリオ''' ''Dodorio'') is a dual-type {{2t|Normal|Flying}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolve]]s from {{p|Doduo}} at [[level]] 31.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Dodrio are bird Pokémon with three heads. They have very small wings hidden under the fluffy brown feathers that cover their black underside. Because their wings are so small, they have little to no flying ability, but can jump incredibly high. Dodrio's long legs allow it to deal devastating kicks, but only frontward. However, to protect its back, one of the necks can turn around and fiercely peck the opponent.

====Gender differences====
A female Dodrio has brown necks, while the male has black ones.

===Special abilities===

Dodrio have long legs which allow it to jump incredibly high, which makes up for its lack of flight. These legs also allow it to run incredibly fast. It can deliver devastating blows with its sharp beaks.

===Behavior===

Dodrio love to [[Early Bird (ability)|wake up early]] and call their cries every morn, and also love to run. They are usually very crotchety, arguing with themselves on a constant basis.

===Habitat===
[[Image:Grassland.gif|left|frame|[[List of Pokémon by habitat#Grassland Pokémon|Grassland Pokémon]]]]
Dodrio can be found living in deserts and plains.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}
Dodrio mainly eat seeds and berries.

==In the anime==
[[Image:Dodrio_riding.jpg|right|200px|thumb|{{Ash}} and {{AP|friends}} riding Dodrio with [[Kellyn]]]]
Dodrio first appeared in ''[[EP001|Pokémon - I Choose You!]]'', where it has a brief appearance, while shouting its cry to the rising sun like a rooster. Its next appearance was in ''[[EP033|The Flame Pokémon-athon!]]''. [[Dario]] used the three-headed bird to compete in a race, but was beaten by {{Ash}} who was riding [[Lara Laramie]]'s {{p|Ponyta}}, after it evolved into {{p|Rapidash}}.

Dodrio also made a cameo in ''[[EP047|A Chansey Operation]]''. This Dodrio had its necks tied in a knot.

[[Falkner]], the [[Gym Leader]] of [[Violet City]], used a Dodrio to battle Ash in ''[[EP131|Fighting Flyer with Fire]]''.

[[Gary Oak]]'s Doduo evolved into a Dodrio some time before ''[[H015|Putting the Air Back in Aerodactyl]]''. Gary used it to attack [[Team Rocket]]'s helicopter when they made a second attempt to capture {{p|Aerodactyl}}.

Dodrio was used in ''[[DP072|Pokémon Ranger and the Kidnapped Riolu! Part Two]]'' by {{Ash}}, {{OBP|Hajime|Pokémon Ranger}}, {{an|Dawn}} and [[Brock]] to get to the {{p|Riolu}} that [[J]] had kidnapped.

A Dodrio appeared in [[DP088]].

{{an|Dawn}} used a Dodrio in the First leg of the Pokémon Triatholon in [[DP091]].

==In the manga==
{{Special|Yellow}}'s Doduo evolved into Dodrio in {{PSV|7}} of [[Pokémon Special]]. It was seen again in {{PSV|12}}, managing to save [[Pika]] and {{p2|Pikachu|Chuchu}} from a {{m|surf}}ing accident.

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

==Game data==
===NPC appearances===
*[[Pokémon Ranger]]: Dodrio is [[Joel]]'s partner Pokémon.

===Pokédex entries===
{{Dex
|type=flying
|gen=1
|redbluedex=Uses its three brains to execute complex plans. While two heads sleep, one head is said to stay awake.
|yellowdex=One of Doduo's 2 heads splits to form a unique species. It runs close to 40 MPH in prairies.
|stadiumdex=The three heads express joy, sorrow and anger as they plan strategy together. When it sleeps, one head remains awake.
|golddex=It collects data and plans three times as wisely, but it may think too much and become immobilized.
|silverdex=If one of the heads gets to eat, the others will be satisfied, too, and they will stop squabbling.
|crystaldex=An enemy that takes its eyes off any of the three heads--even for a second--will get {{m2|Peck|pecked}} severely.
|stadium2dex=It collects data and plans three times as wisely, but it may think too much and become immobilized.
|rubydex=Watch out if Dodrio's three heads are looking in three separate directions. It's a sure sign that it is on its guard. Don't go near this Pokémon if it's being wary - it may decide to {{m|peck}} you.
|sapphiredex=Apparently, the heads aren't the only parts of the body that Dodrio has three of. It has three sets of hearts and lungs as well, so it is capable of running long distances without rest.
|emeralddex=A peculiar Pokémon species with three heads. It vigorously races across grassy plains even in arid seasons with little rainfall.
|firereddex=An odd species that is rarely found. The three heads respectively represent joy, sadness, and anger.
|leafgreendex=Uses its three brains to execute complex plans. While two heads sleep, one head is said to stay awake.
|diamonddex=When Doduo evolves into this odd breed, one of its heads splits into two. It runs at nearly 40 mph.
|pearldex=When Doduo evolves into this odd breed, one of its heads splits into two. It runs at nearly 40 mph.

==Trivia==
* While one of its heads is saying something in [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon]], the others say ''me too'' or ''mine too'', but its pre-evolved form's other head won't.
* Doduo and Dodrio are the only Pokémon that receive the ability {{a|Run Away}} that aren't in the {{egg3|Ground}}.
* Before [[Generation IV]], the normal necks of Dodrio is the color of the female's (brown), while its pre-evolution's is based on the male's (black).
*Dodrio is one of the four Pokémon having three 'heads'. The others include Dugtrio, Magneton and (probably) Magnezone. For obvious reasons, these pokemon are able to learn the move Tri-attack.
* Dodrio ties with {{p|Snorlax}} for the highest base {{stat|Attack}} stat of any [[Generation I]] {{type2|Normal}}, at 110.

===Origin===
Despite its name, it seems like it has more in common with {{wp|ostrich}}es or {{tt|Chocobos|A bird of Final Fantasy fame}} than dodos.

====Name origin====
Dodrio's name seems to be a combination of ''{{wp|dodo}}'', an extinct, flightless, bird, and ''trio'', meaning a group of three. The ''dori'' in its Japanese name may also come from 鳥 ''tori'', bird, or it may be a combination of ドードー ''dodo'' and トリオ ''trio'' because of its three heads.

'''Magneton''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''レアコイル''' ''Rarecoil'') is a dual-type {{2t|Electric|Steel}} Pokémon. However, in [[Generation I]], it was pure Electric-type.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Magnemite}} starting at [[level]] 30, and evolves into {{p|Magnezone}} by level-up in [[Mt. Coronet]].

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Magneton is the result of three Magnemite being linked together by a strong magnetic force, although a single Magnemite can evolve by itself when no other Magnemite are in the vicinity. There are several ways that the three Magnemite that Magneton consists of can be linked. Magneton was originally thought to be a pure {{type2|Electric}} Pokémon, but it was eventually discovered to have traits of a {{type2|Steel}} Pokémon as well. Even though Magneton, its pre-evolution and its evolution are all mechanical creatures, they share traits with non-mechanical creatures: Magneton are able to feel emotions, get hungry, and reproduce. Magneton has been considered to be related to {{p|Metang}} and {{p|Bronzong}} since both are also half Steel-type Pokémon that float by using electromagnetic waves. In the anime, the size of Magnetons magnets changes in dfferent episodes.

====Gender differences====
This Pokémon is genderless.

===Special abilities===
Magneton emits strange radio waves that can greatly damage various electronic equipment, raise air temperatures by 3.6 degrees Fahrenheit within a 3,300-foot radius and cause earaches to anyone that gets too close to it. Magneton mostly learns attacks that Magnemite is capable of learning. However, unlike Magnemite, Magneton can learn {{m|Tri Attack}}. Even though Magneton is not yet fully evolved, it can learn {{m|Hyper Beam}} and {{m|Giga Impact}}. On very rare occasions, Magneton can know {{m|Refresh}}.

===Behavior===

===Habitat===
[[Image:Roughterrain.gif|right|frame|[[List of Pokémon by habitat#Rough-terrain Pokémon|Rough-terrain Pokémon]]]]
Magneton usually live in power plants, but they're harder to find than Magnemite. On rare occasions, groups of Magneton migrate to [[Mt. Coronet]] so they can evolve into {{p|Magnezone}}.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

Magneton feed off of electrical charges.

==In the anime==
[[Image:EP101.jpg|thumb|right|[[Ethan]]'s Magneton.]]
[[Image:244.jpg|thumb|175px|left|A Magneton in ''[[All Torkoal, No Play!]]'']]
Magneton first appeared in ''[[EP030|Sparks Fly for Magnemite]]''. They, along with {{p|Magnemite}}, saved {{Ash}} and company from a {{p|Grimer}} attack.

A Magneton is shown in ''[[The Rivals]]'' and ''[[Pokémon World (song)|Pokémon World]]''.

A Magnemite that belonged to [[Ethan]] in ''[[EP101|Get Along, Little Pokémon]]'' evolved into a Magneton to save Ash and his {{AP|Pikachu}} from [[Team Rocket]].

Several Magneton attacked the Pokémon Center in ''[[EP195|The Poké Spokesman]]''.

[[Jackson]] used a {{shiny2}} Magneton against Ash during the [[Silver Conference]] in ''[[EP268|Tie One On!]]''.

[[Wattson]] used a Magneton in his brief Gym Battle with Ash in ''[[AG040|Watt's with Wattson?]]''.

In ''[[AG058|All Torkoal, No Play!]]'', Magneton was one of the {{t|Steel}}-typed Pokémon in [[Steel Valley]] picking on a wild {{AP|Torkoal}}.

Magneton is one of the unseen Pokémon [[Sho]] offers to trade with Ash in ''[[DP074|Pika and Goliath]]''.

Several Magneton are seen under the control of [[Zero]] in ''[[Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]''.

==In the manga==
===In the Pokémon Special manga===
Magneton makes a cameo aboard the [[S.S. Anne]] in ''[[PS010|Danger: High Voltorb]]'' as one of [[Lt. Surge]]'s Pokémon ready to attack {{Special|Red}}. However, it debuts in the next round, ''[[PS011|Buzz Off, Electabuzz!]]'', when some of them torture Red with {{m|Thunderbolt}}. Lt. Surge has a quad of Magneton, capable of using electromagnetism to create a tetrahedral aura. This aura is able to ferry people as well as attack and trap anything within, as seen in Volumes [[Pokémon Special volume 3|3]], [[Pokémon Special volume 10|10]] and [[Pokémon Special volume 12|12]].

==Trivia==
* The original English name for Magneton was going to be "Recoil".
*On some Pokémon art, Magneton's magnets are small in relation to body size. But on others, the magnets are larger in contrast.
* Although it is said that Magneton is made up of three Magnemite, there is no visible evidence of this. In the only anime episode to date showing a Magnemite evolution, ''[[EP101|Get Along, Little Pokémon]]'', when [[Ethan]]'s Magnemite #6 evolves into Magneton, it "creates" two Magnemite during evolution, instead of getting together with two real Magnemite. This is similar to the games. However, in [[Pokémon Snap]], a Magneton ''is'' created by three Magnemite.
*Magneton is one of the four Pokémon having three 'heads'. The others include Dugtrio, Dodrio and (probably) Magnezone. For obvious reasons, these pokemon are able to learn the move Tri-attack.
* Magneton is supposedly composed of three Magnemite, however, after evolution, it becomes 10 times heavier. Magnemite weighs 13.2 lbs, while Magneton weighs 132.0 lbs.
* Despite Magnemite and Magneton's various Pokédex entries saying they can cause damage to any electronic devices in their vicinity, in all of their appearances in the anime, they have not disrupted any electronic devices. In fact, the opposite happens in the episodes in which this evolution family has been the focus, and they actually ''save'' towns.
* Magneton's {{2v2|Red|Blue}} sprite is the only instance where one of the Magnemite's faces on Magneton is not facing the same direction as the other two.
* Magneton and its evolution Magnezone have National Dex numbers that differ by 380, more than any other Pokémon related by evolution.
* Magneton and its evolutionary family possess 12 resistances, more than any other Pokémon.
* Magneton, and its pre-evolution {{p|Magnemite}}, are one of few Pokémon that had their [[cry]] changed slightly in [[Generation III]]. This was due to Generation III utilizing a better sound effects game engine and [[Game Boy Advance|newer game system]].
* Magneton's [[Generation II]] shiny sprite, incorrectly shows the ends of the magnets being colored, unlike later generations' sprites.

===Origin===
Magneton appears to be a magnetic robot.

====Name origin====
Magneton's name may be a combination of ''{{wp|magnet}}'' and ''ton'' — indicating that it is larger than Magnemite. A magneton is also a unit of magnetic movement, and a {{wp|magnetron}} forms the core of a {{wp|microwave oven}}. The ''rare'' in ''Rarecoil'' may be a reference to the fact that some {{wp|rare earth elements}} have interesting magnetic properties, or it may simply be alluding to the fact that it is rarer than Magnemite.

*[[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Magneton - Derived from magnetic moments.

==Trivia==
* Only the [[Generation II]] sprites and official {{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}} artwork, show it as not having an angry expression in its eyes.
*Dugtrio is one of the four Pokémon having three 'heads'. The others include Magneton, Dodrio and (probably) Magnezone. For obvious reasons, these pokemon are able to learn the move Tri-attack.
*Up until {{2v2|Diamond|Pearl}}, Dugtrio could only be caught in [[Diglett's Cave]].
*Dugtrio and its pre-evolution can learn {{m|Scratch}} and {{m|Slash}} despite not seeming to have hands.
*Dugtrio is the fastest {{type2|Ground}} Pokémon.

===Origin===
Dugtrio appears to be very similar to the artificial moles used in the [[wp:Whac-A-Mole|Whac-A-Mole]] arcade games, as well as [http://www.youkaimura.org/dosojin.htm Dosojin], a Japanese fertility spirit.
====Name origin====
Dugtrio's name is a combination of ''dug'', the past tense of ''dig'', and ''trio'', meaning three.

==In other languages==
*[[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Digdri - Appears to be a combination of ''dig'' and ''tri'', as in a prefix that means ''three''.
*[[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Triopikeur - ''Trio'' means a group of three, and ''piqueur'' is a word sometimes used to mean the foreman of a mine.
*[[List of Korean Pokémon names|Korean]]: 닥트리오 ''Dakteurio''
*[[List of Chinese Pokémon names|Chinese (Taiwan/China)]]: 三地鼠 ''san di shu'' ("three ground rodent")
*[[List of Chinese Pokémon names|Chinese (Hong Kong)]]: 三頭地鼠 ("three headed ground rodent")

'''Farfetch'd''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''カモネギ''' ''Kamonegi'') is a dual-type {{2t|Normal|Flying}} Pokémon.

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

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Farfetch'd resemble ducks. They have glossy brown plumage with a small crest. It also bears black plumage on its forehead that resembles eyebrows.

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

===Special abilities===
Its wings are a bit more versatile than most birds' as their feathers can be used as "fingers", allowing it to carry a leek, or spring onion.

===Behavior===
Farfetch'd are always seen carrying a leek stalk, or spring onion. They carry it in their wings and sometimes choose to hold it in their beaks instead. Farfetch'd cannot live without its stick for unknown reasons, and will defend their stick with their life. The stick is also known to be used as nesting material and as a weapon. In case of an emergency situation where the Farfetch'd is starving, it will eat its own stick and hurry off to find a new one.

They are known to be picky in the kinds of sticks they accept. Farfetch'd have been known to fight each other over one 'good' stalk.

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

Farfetch'd are found in grasslands, but it always has to be near water. Farfetch'd are also very good swimmers and are often found swimming in ponds.

===Diet===

Farfetch'd made its first appearance in ''[[EP049|So Near, Yet So Farfetch'd]]'' under the ownership of [[Keita]].

In ''[[EP098|A Way Off, Day Off]]'', Farfetch'd live on a deserted island which is the home of many different fruit trees.

It was also showcased in ''[[EP145|A Farfetch'd Tale]]'' where [[Team Rocket]] plans to eat it, an aspect of [[Pokémon world]] rarely touched on in the anime.

In ''[[H015|Putting the Air Back in Aerodactyl]]'', multiple Farfetch'd appear when {{an|Crystal}} whistles.

In ''[[DP052|Smells Like Team Spirit]]'', a Farfetch'd was used by [[Brock]]'s battle partner [[Holly]] against {{Ash}} and [[Paul]].

==In the manga==
Farfetch'd is the Pokémon owned by an [[Azalea Town|Azalean]] boy as seen in {{PSV|8}} of [[Pokémon Special]]. Both boy and Farfetch'd fell victim to the onslaught of [[Pryce]]'s Pokémon in the depths of [[Ilex Forest]].

==Trivia==
*In numerical order, Farfetch'd is the first Pokémon in the [[National Pokédex]] that does not have an [[List of Pokémon by evolution family|evolution family]]. It is also one of the few remaining {{cat|Generation I Pokémon}}, excluding legendaries, that does not evolve into or from something in later generations, along with {{p|Kangaskhan}}, {{p|Pinsir}}, {{p|Tauros}}, {{p|Lapras}}, {{p|Ditto}}, and {{p|Aerodactyl}}.
*Farfetch'd is seen holding its stick in its hand in Generation IV frontal sprites. While in other generations, it holds the stick in its beak.
*Farfetch'd can learn {{m|Fury Cutter}} by level up in [[Generation III]], but it is incompatible with the Generation III [[move tutor]] that teaches the same move. It can, however, learn it through a move tutor in {{v2|Platinum}}.

===Origin===
Farfetch'd's origin might come from legends of a duck that carries a leek coming to lost and starving travelers in forests, offering itself to be eaten.

====Name origin====
Farfetch'd's name comes from the word ''farfetched'', which means unbelievable. It could also refer to the game of {{wp|fetch}}, which animals play using sticks. Its Japanese name is a combination of 鴨 ''kamo'', {{wp|wild duck}}, and 葱 ''negi'', {{wp|spring onion}}. Additionally, 鴨葱 ''kamonegi'' is an abbreviation of 鴨が葱をしょって来る, a duck comes bearing spring onions.

==In other languages==
*[[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Porenta - A combination of ''Porree'' and ''Ente'', meaning "duck".
*[[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Canarticho - ''Canard'' means duck, ''artichau'' means artichoke, in reference to the vegetable in its hand.
*[[List of Korean Pokémon names|Korean]]: 파오리 ''Paori'' - from "파" (pa, onion/scallion) and "오리" (ori, duck).

Graveler first appeared in ''[[EP009|The School of Hard Knocks]]''. [[Giselle]] used it against [[Misty's Starmie]] to prove that [[Misty]]'s victory despite a type advantage against her favor was not a fluke.

Graveler made an appearance in ''[[EP056|The Ultimate Test]]'' as one of the Pokémon used in a [[Pokémon League]] entrance exam.

In ''[[EP188|Spring Fever]]'', [[Rory]] had a Graveler that he used to {{m|dig}} for hot springs.

==Trivia==
*Graveler has two pairs of arms, which was for some reason not visible in its [[Pokémon Red and Green Versions|Pokémon Red and Green]] sprite; likewise, its legs are not visible in its [[Pokémon Blue Version (Japanese)|Blue]] sprite. Also, its second pair of arms are a little smaller than the first pair and don't seem to be used as they are always seen on its chest.
*Graveler is one of the two Pokémon having a total of four arms. The other being Machamp.
*Graveler's [[Generation I]] back sprites are the only ones showing two arms instead of one in subsequent generations. The same goes to its evolved form, Golem.
===Origin===
Graveler doesn't share much in common with anything but boulders.
====Name origin====
Graveler's name is possibly derived from ''{{wp|gravel}}''. It could also be a corruption of ''groveler'', someone who bows at the feet of a superior. Its Japanese name may be a combination of ''{{wp|golem}}'' and ''stone''. Additionally, ゴロゴローン ''gorogoroon'' is the sound of rolling, a pastime of Graveler.

'''Geodude''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''イシツブテ''' ''Isitsubute'') is a dual-type {{2t|Rock|Ground}} Pokémon. It was introduced in [[Generation I]] and has been available in every game since.

Geodude evolves via level, starting at level 25, into {{p|Graveler}}, and then into {{p|Golem}} at any time via link trade.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Geodude basically looks like a gray rock with arms and a face.
====Gender differences====
None.

====Special abilities====
It has a {{a2|Rock Head|hard head}} and a {{a2|Sturdy|sturdy body}}.
===Behavior===
Geodude usually sit still on mountain paths or in caves, which is why they are often mistaken for rocks.

===Habitat===
[[Image:Mountain.gif|right|frame|[[List of Pokémon by habitat#Mountain Pokémon|Mountain Pokémon]]]]
Geodude can be most often found on mountain trails under rocks or in caves.

===Diet===
''Main article: [[Pokémon food]]''

==In the anime==
[[Image:Roark's Geodude.jpg|thumb|right|Roark's Geodude]][[Brock]] had a {{TP|Brock|Geodude}} that he used in Kanto and Johto before giving it to his brother, [[Forrest]], on his departure to Hoenn.

Other [[Gym Leader]]s have also used Geodude:

[[Danny]], the Naval Island Gym Leader, used one to help create and ride a sledge as part of the challenges in ''[[EP093|Navel Maneuvers]]''.

[[Roxanne]] used one in her battle with Ash in ''[[AG016|Winner by a Nosepass]]''.

Geodude and its evolved forms were the loyal subjects of King {{p|Onix}} in ''[[AG137|Hooked on Onix]]''.

[[Roark]] used his Geodude against [[Paul]] in ''[[DP015|Shapes of Things to Come]]'' and {{Ash}} in ''[[DP018|O'er the Rampardos we Watched]]''.

==In the manga==
===In the Pokémon Special manga===
Geodude makes cameos in the [[Red, Green & Blue chapter (Special)|Red, Green & Blue]] chapter in ''[[PS005|Onix is On!]]'' standing next to [[Brock]], suggesting that he is its owner and in ''[[PS007|Raging Rhydon]]'' as a [[wild Pokémon]].

Brock is seen with no less than eight Geodude on the jacket of {{PSV|8}}. The Geodude octet is later seen in {{PSV|14}}, attempting to halt the [[Magnet Train]] with a combined {{m|Magnitude}}.

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

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

==Game data==
===Pokédex entries===
{{Dex
|type=rock
|gen=1
|redbluedex=Found in fields and mountains. Mistaking them for boulders, people often step or trip on them.
|yellowdex=Commonly found near mountain trails, etc. If you step on one by accident, it gets angry.
|stadiumdex=When traveling uphill, if it encounters a raised step, it cleverly hoists itself up and over using its two arms.
|golddex=Most people may not notice, but a closer look should reveal that there are many Geodude around.
|silverdex=It uses its arms to steadily climb steep mountain paths. It swings its fists around if angered.
|crystaldex=Proud of their sturdy bodies, they bash against each other in a contest to prove whose is harder.
|stadium2dex=Most people may not notice, but a closer look should reveal that there are many Geodude around.
|rubydex=The longer a Geodude lives, the more its edges are chipped and worn away, making it more rounded in appearance. However, this Pokémon's heart will remain hard, craggy, and rough always.
|sapphiredex=When Geodude sleeps deeply, it buries itself halfway into the ground. It will not awaken even if hikers step on it unwittingly. In the morning, this Pokémon rolls downhill in search of food.
|emeralddex=It climbs mountain paths using only the power of its arms. Because they look just like boulders lining paths, hikers may step on them without noticing.
|firereddex=Its round form makes it easy to pick up. Some people have used them to hurl at each other in a snowball fight.
|leafgreendex=Found in fields and mountains. Mistaking them for boulders, people often step or trip on them.
|diamonddex=Many live on mountain trails and remain half buried while keeping an eye on climbers.
|pearldex=It is impossible to distinguish from rocks. It slams against others in contests of hardness.

'''Slowpoke''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ヤドン''' ''Yadon'') is a dual-type {{2t|Water|Psychic}} Pokémon. It first appeared in the [[Generation I]] games.

Slowpoke can evolve into one of two Pokémon: into {{p|Slowbro}} starting at Level 37; or into {{p|Slowking}} via link trade while holding a [[King's Rock]].

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Slowpoke are large pink creatures which resemble a cross between a salamander and a hippopotamus. Their tails grow lighter towards the tip, and they have tan muzzles.
====Gender differences====
None.

===Special abilities===
Slowpoke have unusual tails which drip a sweet-tasting sappy substance. This substance is attractive to many species of fish, and can be used as a lure. Unfortunately, Slowpoke are extremely stupid, and tend to forget what they are doing.

Unlike most {{type2|Water}} Pokémon, Slowpoke are capable of using {{type2|Fire}} attacks, like {{m|Flamethrower}}.

===Behavior===
Slowpoke are amphibious creatures of notoriously dim intellect. They take a long time to respond to outside stimuli, it takes as much as five seconds for it to process pain. Its tail is particularly numb to pain, it takes more than a day for it to feel when it has been bitten on its tail. Although they are generally seen as being extraordinarily stupid, they are skilled fishermen. Unfortunately, they are easily distracted and forget what they were doing. Although many view Slowpoke as largely useless creatures, many folktales surround Slowpoke, including the belief that their yawns cause rain.

===Habitat===
[[Image:Watersedge.gif|right|frame|[[List of Pokémon by habitat#Water's-edge Pokémon|Water's-edge Pokémon]]]]
Slowpoke are commonly found at the water's edge.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

==In the anime==
[[Image:A Crowning Achievement.jpg|right|thumb|A pair of lazy Slowpoke.]]
Slowpoke's first appearance was a brief one in ''[[EP017|Island of the Giant Pokémon]]''. {{Ash}}'s Pokémon asked it for help, but it didn't respond. It evolved into a Slowbro at the very end of the episode.

Slowpoke's first major role was in ''[[EP066|The Evolution Solution]]''. Ash and {{ashfr|co.}} asked for the help of [[Professor Westwood]] to help figure out why Slowpoke only evolved into Slowbro when a {{p|Shellder}} {{m|clamp}}ed on its tail (a question that was giving [[Professor Oak]] a headache). Westwood's Slowpoke evolved when a Shellder that [[Jessie]] caught clamped on to the Dopey Pokémon's tail.

''[[EP142|A Shadow of a Drought]]'' revealed that [[Azalea Town]] considers Slowpoke sacred due to legends claiming that Slowpoke's {{m|yawn}}ing can summon rain.

''[[EP244|Enlighten Up!]]'' introduced practitioners of a religion similar to {{wp|Buddhism}} that see Slowpoke's empty head as a sign of enlightenment and worship by meditating along with Slowpoke and Slowbro.

A group of Slowpoke were trying to reach a [[King's Rock]] to evolve to Slowking in ''[[EP260|A Crowning Achievement]]''. One finally succeeded at the end.

==In the manga==
In {{PSV|8}} of [[Pokémon Special]], a herd of Slowpoke has their tails cut off by [[Team Rocket]], causing the [[Slowpoke Well]] to stop providing water. {{Special|Gold}} proceeds to tire one out with his {{p|Aipom}}, prompting it to yawn and therefore cause the well to start flowing again.

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

==Other appearances==
===[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]===
Slowpoke is a Pokéfloat. It initially has its tail curled towards its body but the tail lazily becomes straight and fighting moves there until {{p|Wooper}} appears.

==Game data==
===NPC appearances===
*[[Pokémon Channel]]: A Slowpoke is the very slow weatherman.
*[[Pokémon Ranger]]: Slowpoke is [[Murph]]'s partner Pokémon.
* [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon 2]]: Slowpoke and Slakoth are the members of Team Slacker, the zero-motivation exploration team.

==Trivia==
*Slowpoke's original English name was "Slow''mo''".
*In the anime, Slowpoke evolves into a Slowbro if a Shellder bites its tail. It will evolve into a Slowking if one bites its head while it has the [[King's Rock]] on it.
*On *chan sites, if a poster mentions out-of-date events or old memes, the next poster will likely award them with a picture of Slowpoke, a nod to its slow reaction time.
* In the [[Generation III]] games, Slowpoke and its evolutions are only obtainable in {{g|LeafGreen}}, the only case in the generation where an entire evolutionary line is exclusive to only one game.
* Slowpoke is seen lying upside down in Pokemon Silver sprites.
*Like {{p|Mantyke}}, Slowpoke evolves when another Pokémon attaches to it. However due to this type of evolution beginning in [[Generation IV]] it is not required for a {{p|Shellder}} to be around for evolution.
*Slowpoke has been shown having a white tip on its tail and also without the white tip. [[Pokémon Channel]] and [[Pokémon Yellow Version|Yellow]] show it without a white tip.
*During [[Generation II]], a shiny Slowpoke was depicted as being purple. The color was changed to grayish-pink in subsequent games.
*Due to Slowpoke's need of Shellder to evolve, and the fact that if Shellder bites a different area, Slowpoke evolves differently, some fans wonder what would happen if Shellder bit Slowpoke's body or arm.
===Origin===
Slowpoke vaguely resembles a {{wp|hippopotamus}}.

====Name origin====
A ''slowpoke'' is simply a term for someone who is slow. The ''yado'' in ''Yadon'' may be from 宿借り ''yadokari'', {{wp|hermit crab}}. Alternatively, it may also be derived from 宿主 ''yadonushi'', (parasitic) host. Also, 鈍感 ''donkan'' means thickheaded or stolid, and 鈍 ''don'' means slow, dull, or stupid.

==In other languages==
*[[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Flegmon
*[[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Ramoloss - This is probably from ''ramolli'' meaning soft, and ''molosse'' meaning big dog.
*[[List of Korean Pokémon names|Korean]]: 야돈 ''Yadon''
*[[List of Chinese Pokémon names|Chinese (Hong Kong)]]: 小呆獸 - Literally "little slow-witted creature"

'''Machamp''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''カイリキー''' ''Kairiky'') is a {{type2|Fighting}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Machoke}} by [[trade]]. It is the final form of {{p|Machop}}.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Machamp is a bipedal Pokémon and is notable for being extremely muscled and having four arms. Its skin color is bluish-gray and it has red colored eyes. On its head, there are three ridges right above it eyes, which are also right above its frog-like mouth. It has two arms on each side of its body, a pair located where its arms were in its pre-evolved form, and another pair directly above that attached and the top of the shoulder. It wears a leg-less black girdle along with the power-save belt that it wore as a Machoke. Its legs are also quite muscled and its feet only have two toes.

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

====Special abilities====
It punches extremely fast, throwing thousands of punches within a couple seconds. Its attacks send foes flying over mountains. Because it has four arms, it can hit from a multitude of angles.

===Behavior===
===Habitat===
[[Image:Mountain.gif|left|frame|[[List of Pokémon by habitat#Mountain Pokémon|Mountain Pokémon]]]]
Machamp live in mountains, in forbidding areas where they can hone their skills.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

==In the anime==
[[Image:Machamp anime.jpg|right|thumb|A Machamp from ''[[DP057|Bibarel Gnaws Best!]]''.]]
[[Giovanni]], the leader of [[Team Rocket]] and the former [[Gym Leader]] of [[Viridian City]], has a Machamp. He loaned it to [[Jessie]], [[James]] and {{MTR}} after he put them in charge of the gym.

A Machamp was used by [[Raymond]] to battle [[Ash's Squirtle]] during the opening of [[Mewtwo Strikes Back]].

A Machamp is used in the Sumo contest in ''[[EP194|The Ring Masters]]''. It loses to [[Ash's Snorlax]] in the semifinals.

[[Morrison]] battled against a Machamp and {{p|Marowak}} belonging to a very muscular Trainer named [[Gavin]] during the Hoenn League in ''[[AG127|From Brags to Riches]]''. Morrison's {{p|Gligar}} managed to defeat Gavin's Machamp.

A Machamp belonging to [[Factory Head Noland|Noland]] made a cameo appearance in ''[[AG135|Numero Uno Articuno]]''.

In ''[[AG140|Sitting Psyduck]]'', {{ka|Emily}} used Machamp and its two pre-evolved forms to chase after her runaway {{p|Psyduck}}.

Several Machamp and Machoke appear as construction workers in ''[[DP057|Bibarel Gnaws Best!]]''.

==In the manga==
In [[Pokémon Special]], {{Special|Green}} has a Machamp that evolved when it was under {{Special|Red}}'s ownership, reflecting Machoke's evolution being triggered by [[trading|trade]]. It was later seen in {{PSV|3}}, fighting Red's {{p|Snorlax}} at [[Indigo Plateau]], blocking its attacks and even managing to lift its huge bulk. Ultimately, Machamp was knocked out after Snorlax came back with an aerial {{m|Double-Edge}}.

Machamp was also one of the Pokémon used by [[Chuck]] against Green's {{p|Rhydon}} in {{PSV|13}}.

Green later brings Machamp to the [[Sevii Islands]], in which Machamp makes extremely short work of Red's Snorlax during the training session on [[Boon Island|Two Island]].

==Trivia==
[[Image:MachampBelt.jpg|right|thumb|The P on Machoke's belt is the same as Machamp's.]]
* Machamp's original English name was Ju-Doh.
* As of [[Generation IV]], Machamp's belt has the letter '''P''' on it.
* As depicted in Machamp's [[Generation I]] sprite, it originally had one 'ridge' on its head and two horns. This seems to have been dropped for three ridges instead. This can be easily seen in Machamp's back sprite. Strangely, Machamp's back sprite for this generation seems not to have four arms.
* The [[Generation III]] sprites don't have a belt on it.
*Machamp is one of the two Pokémon having a total of four arms. The other being Graveler.
* In [[Pokémon Yellow]], a NPC will trade a Cubone for Machoke, which will then evolve to Machamp.
*Machamp has had its color changed a lot. In Generation I, it was brown. In [[Generation II]], it remained brown with its {{shiny2}} form being dark green. In Generation III, its regular form became a blueish-green with its shiny form being a slightly darker green than its regular form. And most recently in [[Generation IV]], it has become a gray color with its shiny form remaining the same.
*Machamp is the first fully evolved Pokémon in the [[National Pokédex]] who can learn {{m|Superpower}} and also receive a [[STAB]] bonus.
** Despite being the ''Superpower'' Pokémon, Machamp could not learn Superpower until {{game|Platinum}}.
*Machamp has the highest {{Stat|Attack}} stat of all {{type2|Fighting}} Pokémon.
*In 3D games, Machamp's legs are smaller than in its official artwork and game sprites.

===Origin===
Machamp appears to be based on a {{wp|bodybuilder}} or wrestler. Also, due to having four arms, it could have been inspired by {{wp|Kintaro (Mortal Kombat)|Kintaro}}, a boss character from {{wp|Mortal Kombat II}}. Seeing as it has more than two arms, and blue skin, Machamp might also be based on a Hindu god, perhaps {{wp|Shiva}} or {{wp|Vishnu}}. Also, due to having four arms, it could have been inspired by Tienshinhan, a character from the Dragonball Series, in the series, Tienshinhan has the ability to grow an additional set of arms.
====Name origin====
Machamp's name may be a combination of ''champion'' and ''macho'', which is {{wp|Spanish (language)|Spanish}} for overly masculine or chauvinist. ''Macho'' has come to mean tough or masculine in English. Like {{p|Mr. Mime}}, this is not reflected in the gender distribution. ''Kairiky'' is a corruption of 怪力 ''kairiki'', superhuman strength. It is worth noting that ''kairiki'' is the Japanese name of {{m|Strength}}.

==In other languages==
*[[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Machomei
*[[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Mackogneur - ''Macho'' has a similar meaning as in English. ''Cogneur'' means slugger. The ''ch'' was likely replaced by the ''ck'' to keep the sound of ''cogneur'' intact.
*[[List of Korean Pokémon names|Korean]]: 괴력몬 ''Gwiryeokmon''
*[[List of Chinese Pokémon names|Chinese (Taiwan and Hong Kong)]]: 怪力 - Literally "Strange Strength"

==Trivia==
*Graveler has two pairs of arms, which was for some reason not visible in its [[Pokémon Red and Green Versions|Pokémon Red and Green]] sprite; likewise, its legs are not visible in its [[Pokémon Blue Version (Japanese)|Blue]] sprite. Also, its second pair of arms are a little smaller than the first pair and don't seem to be used as they are always seen on its chest.
*Graveler is one of the two Pokémon having a total of four arms. The other being Machamp.
*Graveler's [[Generation I]] back sprites are the only ones showing two arms instead of one in subsequent generations.
===Origin===
Graveler doesn't share much in common with anything but boulders.
====Name origin====
Graveler's name is possibly derived from ''{{wp|gravel}}''. It could also be a corruption of ''groveler'', someone who bows at the feet of a superior. Its Japanese name may be a combination of ''{{wp|golem}}'' and ''stone''. Additionally, ゴロゴローン ''gorogoroon'' is the sound of rolling, a pastime of Graveler.

'''Geodude''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''イシツブテ''' ''Isitsubute'') is a dual-type {{2t|Rock|Ground}} Pokémon. It was introduced in [[Generation I]] and has been available in every game since.

Geodude evolves via level, starting at level 25, into {{p|Graveler}}, and then into {{p|Golem}} at any time via link trade.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Geodude basically looks like a gray rock with arms and a face.
====Gender differences====
None.

====Special abilities====
It has a {{a2|Rock Head|hard head}} and a {{a2|Sturdy|sturdy body}}.
===Behavior===
Geodude usually sit still on mountain paths or in caves, which is why they are often mistaken for rocks.

===Habitat===
[[Image:Mountain.gif|right|frame|[[List of Pokémon by habitat#Mountain Pokémon|Mountain Pokémon]]]]
Geodude can be most often found on mountain trails under rocks or in caves.

===Diet===
''Main article: [[Pokémon food]]''

==In the anime==
[[Image:Roark's Geodude.jpg|thumb|right|Roark's Geodude]][[Brock]] had a {{TP|Brock|Geodude}} that he used in Kanto and Johto before giving it to his brother, [[Forrest]], on his departure to Hoenn.

Other [[Gym Leader]]s have also used Geodude:

[[Danny]], the Naval Island Gym Leader, used one to help create and ride a sledge as part of the challenges in ''[[EP093|Navel Maneuvers]]''.

[[Roxanne]] used one in her battle with Ash in ''[[AG016|Winner by a Nosepass]]''.

Geodude and its evolved forms were the loyal subjects of King {{p|Onix}} in ''[[AG137|Hooked on Onix]]''.

[[Roark]] used his Geodude against [[Paul]] in ''[[DP015|Shapes of Things to Come]]'' and {{Ash}} in ''[[DP018|O'er the Rampardos we Watched]]''.

==In the manga==
===In the Pokémon Special manga===
Geodude makes cameos in the [[Red, Green & Blue chapter (Special)|Red, Green & Blue]] chapter in ''[[PS005|Onix is On!]]'' standing next to [[Brock]], suggesting that he is its owner and in ''[[PS007|Raging Rhydon]]'' as a [[wild Pokémon]].

Brock is seen with no less than eight Geodude on the jacket of {{PSV|8}}. The Geodude octet is later seen in {{PSV|14}}, attempting to halt the [[Magnet Train]] with a combined {{m|Magnitude}}.

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

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

==Game data==
===Pokédex entries===
{{Dex
|type=rock
|gen=1
|redbluedex=Found in fields and mountains. Mistaking them for boulders, people often step or trip on them.
|yellowdex=Commonly found near mountain trails, etc. If you step on one by accident, it gets angry.
|stadiumdex=When traveling uphill, if it encounters a raised step, it cleverly hoists itself up and over using its two arms.
|golddex=Most people may not notice, but a closer look should reveal that there are many Geodude around.
|silverdex=It uses its arms to steadily climb steep mountain paths. It swings its fists around if angered.
|crystaldex=Proud of their sturdy bodies, they bash against each other in a contest to prove whose is harder.
|stadium2dex=Most people may not notice, but a closer look should reveal that there are many Geodude around.
|rubydex=The longer a Geodude lives, the more its edges are chipped and worn away, making it more rounded in appearance. However, this Pokémon's heart will remain hard, craggy, and rough always.
|sapphiredex=When Geodude sleeps deeply, it buries itself halfway into the ground. It will not awaken even if hikers step on it unwittingly. In the morning, this Pokémon rolls downhill in search of food.
|emeralddex=It climbs mountain paths using only the power of its arms. Because they look just like boulders lining paths, hikers may step on them without noticing.
|firereddex=Its round form makes it easy to pick up. Some people have used them to hurl at each other in a snowball fight.
|leafgreendex=Found in fields and mountains. Mistaking them for boulders, people often step or trip on them.

'''Geodude''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''イシツブテ''' ''Isitsubute'') is a dual-type {{2t|Rock|Ground}} Pokémon. It was introduced in [[Generation I]] and has been available in every game since.

Geodude evolves via level, starting at level 25, into {{p|Graveler}}, and then into {{p|Golem}} at any time via link trade.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Geodude basically looks like a gray rock with arms and a face.
====Gender differences====
None.

====Special abilities====
It has a {{a2|Rock Head|hard head}} and a {{a2|Sturdy|sturdy body}}.
===Behavior===
Geodude usually sit still on mountain paths or in caves, which is why they are often mistaken for rocks.

===Habitat===
[[Image:Mountain.gif|right|frame|[[List of Pokémon by habitat#Mountain Pokémon|Mountain Pokémon]]]]
Geodude can be most often found on mountain trails under rocks or in caves.

===Diet===
''Main article: [[Pokémon food]]''

==In the anime==
[[Image:Roark's Geodude.jpg|thumb|right|Roark's Geodude]][[Brock]] had a {{TP|Brock|Geodude}} that he used in Kanto and Johto before giving it to his brother, [[Forrest]], on his departure to Hoenn.

Other [[Gym Leader]]s have also used Geodude:

[[Danny]], the Naval Island Gym Leader, used one to help create and ride a sledge as part of the challenges in ''[[EP093|Navel Maneuvers]]''.

[[Roxanne]] used one in her battle with Ash in ''[[AG016|Winner by a Nosepass]]''.

Geodude and its evolved forms were the loyal subjects of King {{p|Onix}} in ''[[AG137|Hooked on Onix]]''.

[[Roark]] used his Geodude against [[Paul]] in ''[[DP015|Shapes of Things to Come]]'' and {{Ash}} in ''[[DP018|O'er the Rampardos we Watched]]''.

==In the manga==
===In the Pokémon Special manga===
Geodude makes cameos in the [[Red, Green & Blue chapter (Special)|Red, Green & Blue]] chapter in ''[[PS005|Onix is On!]]'' standing next to [[Brock]], suggesting that he is its owner and in ''[[PS007|Raging Rhydon]]'' as a [[wild Pokémon]].

Brock is seen with no less than eight Geodude on the jacket of {{PSV|8}}. The Geodude octet is later seen in {{PSV|14}}, attempting to halt the [[Magnet Train]] with a combined {{m|Magnitude}}.

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

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

==Game data==
===Pokédex entries===
{{Dex
|type=rock
|gen=1
|redbluedex=Found in fields and mountains. Mistaking them for boulders, people often step or trip on them.
|yellowdex=Commonly found near mountain trails, etc. If you step on one by accident, it gets angry.
|stadiumdex=When traveling uphill, if it encounters a raised step, it cleverly hoists itself up and over using its two arms.
|golddex=Most people may not notice, but a closer look should reveal that there are many Geodude around.
|silverdex=It uses its arms to steadily climb steep mountain paths. It swings its fists around if angered.
|crystaldex=Proud of their sturdy bodies, they bash against each other in a contest to prove whose is harder.
|stadium2dex=Most people may not notice, but a closer look should reveal that there are many Geodude around.
|rubydex=The longer a Geodude lives, the more its edges are chipped and worn away, making it more rounded in appearance. However, this Pokémon's heart will remain hard, craggy, and rough always.
|sapphiredex=When Geodude sleeps deeply, it buries itself halfway into the ground. It will not awaken even if hikers step on it unwittingly. In the morning, this Pokémon rolls downhill in search of food.
|emeralddex=It climbs mountain paths using only the power of its arms. Because they look just like boulders lining paths, hikers may step on them without noticing.
|firereddex=Its round form makes it easy to pick up. Some people have used them to hurl at each other in a snowball fight.
|leafgreendex=Found in fields and mountains. Mistaking them for boulders, people often step or trip on them.
|diamonddex=Many live on mountain trails and remain half buried while keeping an eye on climbers.
|pearldex=It is impossible to distinguish from rocks. It slams against others in contests of hardness.

[[Image:Kenny Alakazam 2.JPG|right|thumb|{{Si|Kenny}}'s Alakazam]]
A [[Giant Pokémon|giant]] Alakazam was awakened near the site of the Pokémopolis ruins in ''[[EP072|The Ancient Puzzle of Pokémopolis]]''.

An Alakazam belonging to [[Rudy]] made a cameo appearance in ''[[EP103|Misty Meets Her Match]]''.

[[Gary Oak]] was seen battling an Alakazam with his new {{p|Umbreon}} in ''[[EP171|Power Play]]''. He has an Alakazam that he may or may not have caught as an Abra or a Kadabra. This Alakazam was seen in Gary's profile in ''[[EP269|The Ties that Bind!]]''.

Alakazam appeared under the ownership of [[Eusine]] in ''[[EP227|For Ho-Oh the Bells Toll]]'' and ''[[The Legend of Thunder!]]''.

{{Si|Kenny}} uses his Alakazam in the first round of the Floaroma Pokémon Contest in ''[[DP027|Settling a Not-So-Old Score!]]''. It made a wonderful performance using {{m|Light Screen}}, {{m|Shadow Ball}}, {{m|Teleport}}, and {{m|Hidden Power}} which helped Kenny get through to the next round.

==In the manga==
===In the Pokémon Special manga===
Alakazam debuts in ''[[PS011|Buzz Off, Electabuzz!]]'' when {{Special|Red}} frees the Pokémon kidnapped by [[Lt. Surge]]; instead of his beloved {{p|Abra}}, the [[Pokémon Fan Club Chairman|President of the Pokémon Fan Club]] finds himself with a not-so-cute Alakazam.

In {{PSV|9}}, after {{Special|Red}}'s aptitude test to be the [[Gym Leader]] of [[Viridian City]], a swarm of [[wild Pokémon]] suddenly appear outside the [[Gym]] after being attracted by Pokémon March music, one of which is an Alakazam. {{Special|Green}} captures all of them with his {{p|Scizor}}. Alakazam is seen again in {{PSV|13}} as part of Green's team for the [[Gym Leader]] faceoff, and again in {{PSV|24}} as one of the Pokémon in [[Viridian Gym]]. It defeated {{Special|Chuchu}} easily using a combination of {{m|Role Play}} and {{m|ThunderPunch}}.

==Trivia==
*Alakazam weighs less than {{p|Kadabra}}. The reason could be that Alakazam lacks a tail, which Kadabra has.
**Although it doesn't have a tail, Alakazam is able to learn the move {{m|Iron Tail}} in [[Generation III]].
*Alakazam is believed to be the second smartest Pokémon, after {{p|Uxie}}.
*Although somewhat hard to see, Alakazam had the {{wp|Star of David}} on its forehead in its [[Pokémon Red and Green]] frontal sprite.
*In Generation I backsprites, the two spoons of Alakazam are not visible. But its one spoon is seen in its Generation II and III backsprites and both spoons in Generation IV backsprites.
===Origin===
Alakazam's spoons are a reference to the magician {{wp|Uri Geller}}, who claimed to have the ability to bend spoons with his mind. See the article on [[Kadabra (Pokémon)#Trivia|Kadabra]] for more information.
Like {{p|Abra}} and Kadabra, Alakazam shares physical traits with [[wp:Fox|foxes]].
====Name origin====
Alakazam's name is another incantation used in [[wp:magic (illusion)|stage magic]], similar to ''{{wp|Abracadabra}}''. Its Japanese name can be spelled ''Houdin'', and is probably a reference to {{wp|Jean Eugène Robert-Houdin}} or {{wp|Harry Houdini}}, who were both famous magicians.

'''Kadabra''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ユンゲラー''' ''Yungerer'') is a {{type2|Psychic}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Abra}} starting at [[level]] 16, and evolves into {{p|Alakazam}} by [[trade]].

==Biology==
===Physiology===
A Kadabra is characterized by its human-like body structure and its somewhat fox-like appearance. It has two large ears of the top of either side of its head, a red star-shaped symbol of its forehead (derived from Zener cards), and two somewhat sinister looking eyes in the middles of its face. Its eyes lead down to its nose and mouth and its relatively large mustache that grows out on the narrower section of its face. On both of its arms, there are brown colored pauldron shape sections that are located on the shoulder region of its body. Its arms are fairly thin and consist of Kadabra's regular yellow-hued skin. Its hands each have three fingers, of which all each have a large white claw attached. Its torso consists of a brown colored section of body similar to a fauld and an insect like abdomen below it, which has three red wavy lines (also derived from the Zener cards). Attached to this abdomen is a huge, thick tail, which is mostly yellow with a band of brown circling it. Its legs are very thin and also yellow colored. Its feet each have three toes, two in the front on each side, and one in the back near the ankle. Each of these toes has a large white claw attached to it.

====Gender differences====
A female has a shorter moustache.

====Special abilities====
Kadabra, and its evolution, {{p|Alakazam}}, are the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] that learn {{m|Kinesis}}.

===Behavior===
===Habitat===
[[Image:Urban.gif|left|frame|[[List of Pokémon by habitat#Urban Pokémon|Urban Pokémon]]]]
Kadabra live in urban areas, close to humans. Mostly they are found in abandoned buildings left to disrepair.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

==In the anime==
[[Image:Anime Episode 22 Screenshot - 1.png|thumb|right|[[Sabrina's Kadabra]] just after it evolved]]
[[Sabrina]], the [[Gym Leader]] of [[Saffron City]], has a {{TP|Sabrina|Kadabra}} that evolved from an Abra in ''[[EP022|Abra and the Psychic Showdown]]''.

In ''[[AG146|Fear Factor Phony]]'', a Kadabra was living in an abandoned mining colony with several other Psychic-type Pokémon.

==In the manga==
Like her {{pkmn|anime}} counterpart, [[Sabrina]] in [[Pokémon Special]] also owns a Kadabra, that makes its first appearance in chapter 27.

==In the TCG==

==Trivia==
* "Pocus" was Kadabra's original English name.
* Kadabra is one of the few Pokémon that loses weight after it evolves. Others include {{p|Porygon}} to {{p|Porygon2}}, {{p|Gloom}} to {{p|Bellossom}}, and {{p|Gligar}} to {{p|Gliscor}}.
* Kadabra has what appears to be a bulge in the back of its head in [[Generation I]] sprites. This seems to have been dropped in subsequent generations. On the other hand, it may have been a side effect of the poor quality of the backsprites in the first generation.
*In Pokémon Red (Japanese), Green and Silver sprites, Kadabra is holding its spoon in its left hand, while in the other sprites it is holding in the other hand.
* In Kadabra's {{3v2|Red|Green|Blue}} sprites, the red five-pointed star is missing from its forehead.
===Origin===
Kadabra is based on a magician or someone who purports to bend spoons psychically, such as Uri Geller. It also has similarities to {{wp|foxes}}.
====Name origin====
Kadabra's name is part of an incantation used in {{wp|magic (illusion)|stage magic}}, ''{{wp|Abracadabra}}''. Its Japanese name is a reference to the magician {{wp|Uri Geller}}, replacing the ''ri'' character with the visually similar ''n'' character. Uri Geller claimed to have the ability to bend spoons with his mind, which is probably why Kadabra carries a spoon.

'''Kadabra''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ユンゲラー''' ''Yungerer'') is a {{type2|Psychic}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Abra}} starting at [[level]] 16, and evolves into {{p|Alakazam}} by [[trade]].

==Biology==
===Physiology===
A Kadabra is characterized by its human-like body structure and its somewhat fox-like appearance. It has two large ears of the top of either side of its head, a red star-shaped symbol of its forehead (derived from Zener cards), and two somewhat sinister looking eyes in the middles of its face. Its eyes lead down to its nose and mouth and its relatively large mustache that grows out on the narrower section of its face. On both of its arms, there are brown colored pauldron shape sections that are located on the shoulder region of its body. Its arms are fairly thin and consist of Kadabra's regular yellow-hued skin. Its hands each have three fingers, of which all each have a large white claw attached. Its torso consists of a brown colored section of body similar to a fauld and an insect like abdomen below it, which has three red wavy lines (also derived from the Zener cards). Attached to this abdomen is a huge, thick tail, which is mostly yellow with a band of brown circling it. Its legs are very thin and also yellow colored. Its feet each have three toes, two in the front on each side, and one in the back near the ankle. Each of these toes has a large white claw attached to it.

====Gender differences====
A female has a shorter moustache.

====Special abilities====
Kadabra, and its evolution, {{p|Alakazam}}, are the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] that learn {{m|Kinesis}}.

===Behavior===
===Habitat===
[[Image:Urban.gif|left|frame|[[List of Pokémon by habitat#Urban Pokémon|Urban Pokémon]]]]
Kadabra live in urban areas, close to humans. Mostly they are found in abandoned buildings left to disrepair.

===Diet===

==In the anime==
[[Image:Anime Episode 22 Screenshot - 1.png|thumb|right|[[Sabrina's Kadabra]] just after it evolved]]
[[Sabrina]], the [[Gym Leader]] of [[Saffron City]], has a {{TP|Sabrina|Kadabra}} that evolved from an Abra in ''[[EP022|Abra and the Psychic Showdown]]''.

In ''[[AG146|Fear Factor Phony]]'', a Kadabra was living in an abandoned mining colony with several other Psychic-type Pokémon.

==In the manga==
Like her {{pkmn|anime}} counterpart, [[Sabrina]] in [[Pokémon Special]] also owns a Kadabra, that makes its first appearance in chapter 27.

'''Poliwag''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ニョロモ ''' ''Nyoromo'') is a {{type2|Water}} Pokémon.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Poliwag resembles a blue, spherical tadpole. It has large eyes, a pink mouth, and a long, mostly transparent tail. It has newly developed legs that still are not used to walking. Poliwag's most famous feature is the black and white swirl on its abdomen, which is actually its innards showing through its semitransparent skin. This skin is also very elastic so that it won't break if the Pokémon is bitten.

====Gender differences====
None.
====Special abilities====
Along with the standard {{t|Water}}-related abilities, it is capable of making its opponent drowsy with {{m|Hypnosis}}. It is also much more at home in the water, as it can be healed by water using {{a|Water Absorb}}. Its skin is also quite {{a|Damp}}.

===Behavior===
They are most likely found swimming then on dry land.
===Habitat===
[[Image:Watersedge.gif|left|frame|[[List of Pokémon by habitat#Water's-edge Pokémon|Water's-edge Pokémon]]]]
Poliwag can be found in small freshwater ponds and lakes that have an abundance of lily pads, as well as along the banks of tropical rivers.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

In the anime, Poliwag feed on [[salveyo weed]], which can only be found on clear lake bottoms.

==In the anime==
[[Image:EP110.jpg|thumb|right|[[Misty]] with [[Misty's Poliwag|her Poliwag]].]]
[[Misty]] had a {{TP|Misty|Poliwag}} that eventually evolved into a {{p|Poliwhirl}} and then a {{p|Politoed}}.

One of the Pokémon used at the {{g|Trainer's School}} in ''[[AG015|Gonna Rule The School]]'' was a Poliwag. [[Max]] used it in a battle but lost to a {{p|Magby}}. However, it did help defeat Team Rocket.

A Poliwag appeared in [[DP089]].

==In the manga==
===In the Pokémon Special manga===
Poliwag makes a cameo in ''[[PS002|Bulbasaur, Come Home!]]'' as one of the Pokémon that escapes from [[Professor Oak's Laboratory]] and in ''[[PS010|Danger: High Voltorb]]'' in a Red's flashback remembering his journey with his {{p|Poliwhirl}}.

{{Special|Gold}} has a Poliwag as of {{PSV|8}}. It was lost when [[Team Rocket]] stole Gold's [[bag|backpack]] and its [[Poké Ball]] fell into the water. Gold eventually retrieved Poliwag at the Famous [[Fishing]] Zone. It [[evolution|evolved]] into {{p|Poliwhirl}} in {{PSV|9}}.

==Trivia==
*Poliwag and {{p|Ditto}} have extremely similar cries.
*Curiously, the swirl on Poliwag's stomach is in the opposite direction to Poliwhirl's and Poliwrath's, but in the same direction of the light green swirl on the stomach of Politoed.
*In Generation I's sprites, the swirl on Poliwag's stomach is in anti-clockwise direction. This was dropped in later generations as the direction was reversed.
*In its FireRed Pokédex entry, it is stated Poliwag has black skin. The Ruby and Sapphire Pokédex entry for {{p|Poliwhirl}} states that Poliwhirl's skin is covered in oily fluid - if the same applies to Poliwag, it might be a case similar to common bilberry: the berry itself is black but covered in a wax-like coating that makes it look blue.
*Despite having a visible tail, it cannot learn any [[moves]] that require a tail.
*Poliwag's eyes, nose and the swirl on its stomach are visible in Generation I and IV's backsprites, but the tail is not. The opposite is true for the Generation II and III backsprites.
*In Pokémon Gold and Silver its sprite has very big eyes but in other games its eyes are normally small.
*In ''[[The Official Pokémon Handbook]]'', published by {{wp|Scholastic Corporation}}, the back cover says "Did you know that the swirls on {{p|Poliwhirl}}'s stomach changes direction when it [[evolves]] into Poliwag?" This should be reversed.

===Origin===
Poliwag has the appearance of a tadpole. The spiral pattern on its belly is supposed to represent how the intestines of tadpoles are sometimes seen through their transparent skin.
====Name origin====
Poliwag appears to be a misspelling of ''{{wp|polliwog}}'', outdated English for tadpole. The ''wag'' may refer to its tail, although it is worth noting that ''polliwog'' literally means head-wiggle. Its Japanese name may come in part from ニョロニョロ ''nyoronyoro'', the sound of slithering, and 子供 ''kodomo'', child.

==In other languages==
*[[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Quapsel
*[[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Ptitard - ''P'tit'' is a contraction of ''petit'' meaning small, ''têtard'' means tadpole.
*[[List of Korean Pokémon names|Korean]]: 발챙이 ''Balchaengi''
*[[List of Chinese Pokémon names|Chinese (Taiwan and Hong Kong)]]: 蚊香蝌蚪 - 蚊香 is a kind of mosquito repellent used in China that is shaped like a spiral (like poliwag's belly). Literally 'mosquito repellent tadpole'

'''Poliwrath''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ニョロボン''' ''Nyorobon'') is a dual-type {{2t|Water|Fighting}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Poliwhirl}} by {{stone|Water Stone}}. It is one of the final forms of {{p|Poliwag}}.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Poliwrath looks superficially similar to Poliwhirl. However, it has gained more muscle, especially around its arms, which are now quite thick. Its eyes have changed from having wide pupils to small ones. It also appears to have a scowl.

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

====Special abilities====
In addition to the {{type2|Water}} abilities it had as {{p|Poliwag}} and {{p|Poliwhirl}}, Poliwrath has now gained the powers of a {{type2|Fighting}}. It can swim for vast distances without getting tired.

===Behavior===
With its newly gained fighting abilities, Poliwrath is more aggresive then its pre-evolutions, and is more willing to pick fights with others.

===Habitat===
[[Image:Watersedge.gif|left|frame|[[List of Pokémon by habitat#Water's-edge Pokémon|Water's-edge Pokémon]]]]
Poliwrath live in small freshwater ponds and lakes, usually ones that have an abundance of lily pads.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

==In the anime==
[[Image:EP105.jpg|thumb|right|{{AP|Charizard}} battling [[Tad|Tad's]] Poliwrath.]]Poliwrath's first non-cameo appearance was in ''[[EP105|Charizard Chills]]''. An expert trainer named [[Tad]] had one and it defeated [[Ash's Charizard]] easily when {{Ash}} challenged him. Charizard managed to defeat the Poliwrath in a rematch.

In ''[[EP168|Hook, Line and Stinker]]'', [[Andreas]] in a {{p|Seaking}} Catching contest owned a Poliwrath.

[[Chuck]] used a Poliwrath against Ash in his Gym Battle in ''[[EP209|Machoke, Machoke Man]]''.

In ''[[EP247|Outrageous Fortunes]]'', Misty challenged another trainer named [[Delaney]] whose main Pokémon was Poliwrath. After seeing it in action, [[Team Rocket]] tricked Delaney into giving his Poliwrath to them.

==In the manga==
===In the Pokémon Special manga===
Poliwrath debuts in ''[[PS011|Buzz Off, Electabuzz!]]'' when {{Special|Red}}'s ''[[Poli]]'' evolves into one to save its trainer from drowning. It's a muscular Pokémon who sends its enemies flying with {{m|Seismic Toss}}.

==Trivia==
* Despite being classified as a tadpole Pokémon, its form resembles a froglet's and is presumably full grown.
*In Pokémon Yellow sprites, the swirl on Poliwrath's stomach goes in clockwise direction. But in other sprites, it is in the anti-clockwise direction. The same goes for Poliwhirl.
* No other Pokémon has the same [[type]] [[List of Pokémon with unique type combinations|combination]] as Poliwrath.
* Poliwrath has a lower {{stat|Speed}} stat than {{p2|Poliwhirl|its pre-evolution}}.
===Origin===
Poliwrath seems to be based on some amphibians that can stay as a tadpole their whole life. The spiral pattern on its belly is supposed to represent how the intestines of tadpoles can sometimes be seen through their transparent skin.
====Name origin====
Poliwrath's name appears to be a combination of ''{{wp|polliwog}}'' and ''wrath'', meaning anger. Its Japanese name may come in part from ニョロニョロ ''nyoronyoro'', the sound of slithering, and an alternate reading of the Japanese word for deluge or flood, 洪 ''kō'', is ''hon'' (in this case, ''bon'').

==In other languages==
*[[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Quappo
*[[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Tartard - This name could come from ''tartarin'' meaning braggart, as well as ''têtard'' for tadpole.
*[[List of Korean Pokémon names|Korean]]: 강챙이 ''Gangchaengi''
*[[List of Chinese Pokémon names|Chinese (Taiwan and Hong Kong)]]: 蚊香蛙 - 蚊香 is a kind of mosquito repellent used in China that is shaped in a spiral (like poliwrath's belly). Literally 'mosquito repellent frog'

'''Poliwhirl''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ニョロゾ ''' ''Nyorozo'') is a {{type2|Water}} Pokémon.

It evolves from {{p|Poliwag}} at [[level]] 25, and then into either {{p|Poliwrath}} when exposed to a {{stone|Water Stone}} or {{p|Politoed}} when [[trade]]d holding a [[King's Rock]].

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Poliwag undergoes through a dramatic change when it evolves to Poliwhirl. The most notable difference is that it has become bigger and gained arms with gloved hands while losing its tail. The eyes have moved to the top of its head and it apparently looses its visible mouth. Its nostrils are now visible. Curiously, the swirl on its abdomen as {{p|Poliwag}} reverses when it evolves.

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

====Special abilities====
In addition to the abilities it had as Poliwag, Poliwhirl can now walk and {{m2|Surf|swim}} even better then before.

===Behavior===
===Habitat===
[[Image:Watersedge.gif|left|frame|[[List of Pokémon by habitat#Water's-edge Pokémon|Water's-edge Pokémon]]]]
Poliwhirl live in small freshwater ponds and lakes, usually ones that have an abundance of lily pads.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

==In the anime==
[[Image:Hook, Line and Stinker.jpg|thumb|right|Poliwhirl with its evolved form, {{p|Poliwrath}}.]]
[[Misty]] had a Poliwhirl that she caught as a Poliwag; it eventually evolved into a {{TP|Misty|Politoed}} in ''[[EP247|Outrageous Fortunes]]''.

A Poliwhirl was one of the Water Pokémon feuding with the {{type2|Grass}}s in ''[[EP225|Bulbasaur...the Ambassador]]''.

In ''[[EP268|Tie One On!]]'', [[Vincent]] used a Poliwhirl in his battle with [[Macey]].

==In the manga==
===In the Pokémon Special manga===
''Nyoro'' was {{Special|Red}}'s first Pokémon. It debuted in the first round of the [[Red, Green & Blue chapter (Special)|Red, Green & Blue chapter]], ''[[PS001|A Glimpse of the Glow]]'' as Poliwhirl, however was captured before the start of the chapter as a Poliwag. It gained more importance in [[Lt. Surge]]'s story arc, in fact it evolved in ''[[PS011|Buzz Off, Electabuzz!]]'' while saving Red from drowning in the sea due to the specks of [[Water Stone]] present in the water.

{{Special|Gold}}'s Poliwag evolved into Poliwhirl in {{PSV|9}} when Gold and {{Special|Silver}} were trapped inside [[Tin Tower]]. With Silver's knowledge of Pokémon [[trading]], Gold temporarily traded Poliwhirl to Silver via their Pokédexes, prompting Poliwhirl to evolve into Politoed when the effects of its [[Evolution-inducing held item|King's Rock]] activated from the trade, triggering the evolution.

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

==Other appearances==
===[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]===
Poliwhirl only appears as a random trophy.
====Trophy information====
Poliwhirl is a Tadpole Pokémon able to live on either land or in the water. When on dry land, it's constantly sweating to keep its skin nice and slimy. When in danger, it spins the whirlpool marking on its stomach to put enemies into a deep sleep, then it runs away. It evolves into either Poliwrath or Politoed.

==Trivia==
[[Image:Pokemon Center Tokyo Logo.gif|right|thumb|Poliwhirl in the original Tokyo Pokémon Center logo.|100px]]
* The logo for the Pokémon Center in Tokyo featured Poliwhirl until it was replaced by {{p|Piplup}} in July 2007.
* Poliwhirl was also featured prominently on the center of the November 22nd, 1999 issue of Time Magazine
*Poliwhirl is creator [[Satoshi Tajiri]]'s favorite Pokémon.
*Poliwhirl's sprites and artwork are inconsistent with respect to its gloves. Sometimes they are depicted as mittens, while other times they have separate fingers.
*In Pokémon Yellow sprites, the swirl on Poliwhirl's stomach goes in clockwise direction. But in other sprites, it is in the anti-clockwise direction. The same goes for Poliwrath.
* Poliwhirl loses its mouth during [[evolution]] from {{p|Poliwag}}.
*Poliwhirl is the first Pokémon in [[National Dex]] order to evolve by trading while holding [[evolution-inducing held item|an item]].

===Origin===
Poliwhirl seems to be based on a tadpole. The spiral pattern on its belly is supposed to represent how the intestines of tadpoles can sometimes be seen through their transparent skin.
====Name origin====
Poliwhirl appears to be a combination of ''{{wp|polliwog}}'' and ''whirl'', referring to the spiral on its stomach. Its Japanese name may come in part from ニョロニョロ ''nyoronyoro'', the sound of slithering.

==In other languages==
*[[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Quaputzi
*[[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Tetarte - ''Têtard'' means tadpole. The remainder likely comes from ''arte'', meaning art.
*[[List of Korean Pokémon names|Korean]]: 수륙챙이 ''Suryukchaengi''
*[[List of Chinese Pokémon names|Chinese (Taiwan and Hong Kong)]]: 蚊香蝌蚪

'''Poliwhirl''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ニョロゾ ''' ''Nyorozo'') is a {{type2|Water}} Pokémon.

It evolves from {{p|Poliwag}} at [[level]] 25, and then into either {{p|Poliwrath}} when exposed to a {{stone|Water Stone}} or {{p|Politoed}} when [[trade]]d holding a [[King's Rock]].

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Poliwag undergoes through a dramatic change when it evolves to Poliwhirl. The most notable difference is that it has become bigger and gained arms with gloved hands while losing its tail. The eyes have moved to the top of its head and it apparently looses its visible mouth. Its nostrils are now visible. Curiously, the swirl on its abdomen as {{p|Poliwag}} reverses when it evolves.

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

====Special abilities====
In addition to the abilities it had as Poliwag, Poliwhirl can now walk and {{m2|Surf|swim}} even better then before.

===Behavior===
===Habitat===
[[Image:Watersedge.gif|left|frame|[[List of Pokémon by habitat#Water's-edge Pokémon|Water's-edge Pokémon]]]]
Poliwhirl live in small freshwater ponds and lakes, usually ones that have an abundance of lily pads.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

==In the anime==
[[Image:Hook, Line and Stinker.jpg|thumb|right|Poliwhirl with its evolved form, {{p|Poliwrath}}.]]
[[Misty]] had a Poliwhirl that she caught as a Poliwag; it eventually evolved into a {{TP|Misty|Politoed}} in ''[[EP247|Outrageous Fortunes]]''.

A Poliwhirl was one of the Water Pokémon feuding with the {{type2|Grass}}s in ''[[EP225|Bulbasaur...the Ambassador]]''.

In ''[[EP268|Tie One On!]]'', [[Vincent]] used a Poliwhirl in his battle with [[Macey]].

==In the manga==
===In the Pokémon Special manga===
''Nyoro'' was {{Special|Red}}'s first Pokémon. It debuted in the first round of the [[Red, Green & Blue chapter (Special)|Red, Green & Blue chapter]], ''[[PS001|A Glimpse of the Glow]]'' as Poliwhirl, however was captured before the start of the chapter as a Poliwag. It gained more importance in [[Lt. Surge]]'s story arc, in fact it evolved in ''[[PS011|Buzz Off, Electabuzz!]]'' while saving Red from drowning in the sea due to the specks of [[Water Stone]] present in the water.

{{Special|Gold}}'s Poliwag evolved into Poliwhirl in {{PSV|9}} when Gold and {{Special|Silver}} were trapped inside [[Tin Tower]]. With Silver's knowledge of Pokémon [[trading]], Gold temporarily traded Poliwhirl to Silver via their Pokédexes, prompting Poliwhirl to evolve into Politoed when the effects of its [[Evolution-inducing held item|King's Rock]] activated from the trade, triggering the evolution.

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

==Other appearances==
===[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]===
Poliwhirl only appears as a random trophy.
====Trophy information====
Poliwhirl is a Tadpole Pokémon able to live on either land or in the water. When on dry land, it's constantly sweating to keep its skin nice and slimy. When in danger, it spins the whirlpool marking on its stomach to put enemies into a deep sleep, then it runs away. It evolves into either Poliwrath or Politoed.

==Trivia==
[[Image:Pokemon Center Tokyo Logo.gif|right|thumb|Poliwhirl in the original Tokyo Pokémon Center logo.|100px]]
* The logo for the Pokémon Center in Tokyo featured Poliwhirl until it was replaced by {{p|Piplup}} in July 2007.
* Poliwhirl was also featured prominently on the center of the November 22nd, 1999 issue of Time Magazine
*Poliwhirl is creator [[Satoshi Tajiri]]'s favorite Pokémon.
*Poliwhirl's sprites and artwork are inconsistent with respect to its gloves. Sometimes they are depicted as mittens, while other times they have separate fingers.
*In Pokémon Yellow sprites, the swirl on Poliwhirl's stomach goes in clockwise direction. But in other sprites, it is in the anti-clockwise direction.
* Poliwhirl loses its mouth during [[evolution]] from {{p|Poliwag}}.
*Poliwhirl is the first Pokémon in [[National Dex]] order to evolve by trading while holding [[evolution-inducing held item|an item]].

===Origin===
Poliwhirl seems to be based on a tadpole. The spiral pattern on its belly is supposed to represent how the intestines of tadpoles can sometimes be seen through their transparent skin.
====Name origin====
Poliwhirl appears to be a combination of ''{{wp|polliwog}}'' and ''whirl'', referring to the spiral on its stomach. Its Japanese name may come in part from ニョロニョロ ''nyoronyoro'', the sound of slithering.

==In other languages==
*[[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Quaputzi
*[[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Tetarte - ''Têtard'' means tadpole. The remainder likely comes from ''arte'', meaning art.
*[[List of Korean Pokémon names|Korean]]: 수륙챙이 ''Suryukchaengi''
*[[List of Chinese Pokémon names|Chinese (Taiwan and Hong Kong)]]: 蚊香蝌蚪

'''Poliwhirl''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ニョロゾ ''' ''Nyorozo'') is a {{type2|Water}} Pokémon.

It evolves from {{p|Poliwag}} at [[level]] 25, and then into either {{p|Poliwrath}} when exposed to a {{stone|Water Stone}} or {{p|Politoed}} when [[trade]]d holding a [[King's Rock]].

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Poliwag undergoes through a dramatic change when it evolves to Poliwhirl. The most notable difference is that it has become bigger and gained arms with gloved hands while losing its tail. The eyes have moved to the top of its head and it apparently looses its visible mouth. Its nostrils are now visible. Curiously, the swirl on its abdomen as {{p|Poliwag}} reverses when it evolves.

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

====Special abilities====
In addition to the abilities it had as Poliwag, Poliwhirl can now walk and {{m2|Surf|swim}} even better then before.

===Behavior===
===Habitat===
[[Image:Watersedge.gif|left|frame|[[List of Pokémon by habitat#Water's-edge Pokémon|Water's-edge Pokémon]]]]
Poliwhirl live in small freshwater ponds and lakes, usually ones that have an abundance of lily pads.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

==In the anime==
[[Image:Hook, Line and Stinker.jpg|thumb|right|Poliwhirl with its evolved form, {{p|Poliwrath}}.]]
[[Misty]] had a Poliwhirl that she caught as a Poliwag; it eventually evolved into a {{TP|Misty|Politoed}} in ''[[EP247|Outrageous Fortunes]]''.

A Poliwhirl was one of the Water Pokémon feuding with the {{type2|Grass}}s in ''[[EP225|Bulbasaur...the Ambassador]]''.

In ''[[EP268|Tie One On!]]'', [[Vincent]] used a Poliwhirl in his battle with [[Macey]].

==In the manga==
===In the Pokémon Special manga===
''Nyoro'' was {{Special|Red}}'s first Pokémon. It debuted in the first round of the [[Red, Green & Blue chapter (Special)|Red, Green & Blue chapter]], ''[[PS001|A Glimpse of the Glow]]'' as Poliwhirl, however was captured before the start of the chapter as a Poliwag. It gained more importance in [[Lt. Surge]]'s story arc, in fact it evolved in ''[[PS011|Buzz Off, Electabuzz!]]'' while saving Red from drowning in the sea due to the specks of [[Water Stone]] present in the water.

{{Special|Gold}}'s Poliwag evolved into Poliwhirl in {{PSV|9}} when Gold and {{Special|Silver}} were trapped inside [[Tin Tower]]. With Silver's knowledge of Pokémon [[trading]], Gold temporarily traded Poliwhirl to Silver via their Pokédexes, prompting Poliwhirl to evolve into Politoed when the effects of its [[Evolution-inducing held item|King's Rock]] activated from the trade, triggering the evolution.

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

==Other appearances==
===[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]===
Poliwhirl only appears as a random trophy.
====Trophy information====
Poliwhirl is a Tadpole Pokémon able to live on either land or in the water. When on dry land, it's constantly sweating to keep its skin nice and slimy. When in danger, it spins the whirlpool marking on its stomach to put enemies into a deep sleep, then it runs away. It evolves into either Poliwrath or Politoed.

==Trivia==
[[Image:Pokemon Center Tokyo Logo.gif|right|thumb|Poliwhirl in the original Tokyo Pokémon Center logo.|100px]]
* The logo for the Pokémon Center in Tokyo featured Poliwhirl until it was replaced by {{p|Piplup}} in July 2007.
* Poliwhirl was also featured prominently on the center of the November 22nd, 1999 issue of Time Magazine
*Poliwhirl is creator [[Satoshi Tajiri]]'s favorite Pokémon.
*Poliwhirl's sprites and artwork are inconsistent with respect to its gloves. Sometimes they are depicted as mittens, while other times they have separate fingers.
*In Pokémon Yellow sprites, the swirl on Poliwhirl's stomach goes in anti-clockwise direction. But in other sprites, it is in the clockwise direction.
* Poliwhirl loses its mouth during [[evolution]] from {{p|Poliwag}}.
*Poliwhirl is the first Pokémon in [[National Dex]] order to evolve by trading while holding [[evolution-inducing held item|an item]].

===Origin===
Poliwhirl seems to be based on a tadpole. The spiral pattern on its belly is supposed to represent how the intestines of tadpoles can sometimes be seen through their transparent skin.
====Name origin====
Poliwhirl appears to be a combination of ''{{wp|polliwog}}'' and ''whirl'', referring to the spiral on its stomach. Its Japanese name may come in part from ニョロニョロ ''nyoronyoro'', the sound of slithering.

==In other languages==
*[[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Quaputzi
*[[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Tetarte - ''Têtard'' means tadpole. The remainder likely comes from ''arte'', meaning art.
*[[List of Korean Pokémon names|Korean]]: 수륙챙이 ''Suryukchaengi''
*[[List of Chinese Pokémon names|Chinese (Taiwan and Hong Kong)]]: 蚊香蝌蚪

'''Poliwag''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ニョロモ ''' ''Nyoromo'') is a {{type2|Water}} Pokémon.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Poliwag resembles a blue, spherical tadpole. It has large eyes, a pink mouth, and a long, mostly transparent tail. It has newly developed legs that still are not used to walking. Poliwag's most famous feature is the black and white swirl on its abdomen, which is actually its innards showing through its semitransparent skin. This skin is also very elastic so that it won't break if the Pokémon is bitten.

====Gender differences====
None.
====Special abilities====
Along with the standard {{t|Water}}-related abilities, it is capable of making its opponent drowsy with {{m|Hypnosis}}. It is also much more at home in the water, as it can be healed by water using {{a|Water Absorb}}. Its skin is also quite {{a|Damp}}.

===Behavior===
They are most likely found swimming then on dry land.
===Habitat===
[[Image:Watersedge.gif|left|frame|[[List of Pokémon by habitat#Water's-edge Pokémon|Water's-edge Pokémon]]]]
Poliwag can be found in small freshwater ponds and lakes that have an abundance of lily pads, as well as along the banks of tropical rivers.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

In the anime, Poliwag feed on [[salveyo weed]], which can only be found on clear lake bottoms.

==In the anime==
[[Image:EP110.jpg|thumb|right|[[Misty]] with [[Misty's Poliwag|her Poliwag]].]]
[[Misty]] had a {{TP|Misty|Poliwag}} that eventually evolved into a {{p|Poliwhirl}} and then a {{p|Politoed}}.

One of the Pokémon used at the {{g|Trainer's School}} in ''[[AG015|Gonna Rule The School]]'' was a Poliwag. [[Max]] used it in a battle but lost to a {{p|Magby}}. However, it did help defeat Team Rocket.

A Poliwag appeared in [[DP089]].

==In the manga==
===In the Pokémon Special manga===
Poliwag makes a cameo in ''[[PS002|Bulbasaur, Come Home!]]'' as one of the Pokémon that escapes from [[Professor Oak's Laboratory]] and in ''[[PS010|Danger: High Voltorb]]'' in a Red's flashback remembering his journey with his {{p|Poliwhirl}}.

{{Special|Gold}} has a Poliwag as of {{PSV|8}}. It was lost when [[Team Rocket]] stole Gold's [[bag|backpack]] and its [[Poké Ball]] fell into the water. Gold eventually retrieved Poliwag at the Famous [[Fishing]] Zone. It [[evolution|evolved]] into {{p|Poliwhirl}} in {{PSV|9}}.

==Trivia==
*Poliwag and {{p|Ditto}} have extremely similar cries.
*Curiously, the swirl on Poliwag's stomach is in the opposite direction to Poliwhirl's and Poliwrath's, but in the same direction of the light green swirl on the stomach of Politoed.
*In its FireRed Pokédex entry, it is stated Poliwag has black skin. The Ruby and Sapphire Pokédex entry for {{p|Poliwhirl}} states that Poliwhirl's skin is covered in oily fluid - if the same applies to Poliwag, it might be a case similar to common bilberry: the berry itself is black but covered in a wax-like coating that makes it look blue.
*Despite having a visible tail, it cannot learn any [[moves]] that require a tail.
*Poliwag's eyes, nose and the swirl on its stomach is only visible in Generation I and IV's backsprites. But the tail of Poliwag is not visible in these backsprites.
*In Pokémon Gold and Silver its sprite has very big eyes but in other games its eyes are normally small.
*In The Official Pokémon Handbook published by Scholastic Books, the back cover says "Did you know that the swirls on {{p|Poliwhirl}}'s stomach changes direction when it [[evolves]] into Poliwag?" This should be reversed.

===Origin===
Poliwag has the appearance of a tadpole. The spiral pattern on its belly is supposed to represent how the intestines of tadpoles are sometimes seen through their transparent skin.
====Name origin====
Poliwag appears to be a misspelling of ''{{wp|polliwog}}'', outdated English for tadpole. The ''wag'' may refer to its tail, although it is worth noting that ''polliwog'' literally means head-wiggle. Its Japanese name may come in part from ニョロニョロ ''nyoronyoro'', the sound of slithering, and 子供 ''kodomo'', child.

==In other languages==
*[[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Quapsel
*[[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Ptitard - ''P'tit'' is a contraction of ''petit'' meaning small, ''têtard'' means tadpole.
*[[List of Korean Pokémon names|Korean]]: 발챙이 ''Balchaengi''
*[[List of Chinese Pokémon names|Chinese (Taiwan and Hong Kong)]]: 蚊香蝌蚪 - 蚊香 is a kind of mosquito repellent used in China that is shaped like a spiral (like poliwag's belly). Literally 'mosquito repellent tadpole'

'''Poliwag''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ニョロモ ''' ''Nyoromo'') is a {{type2|Water}} Pokémon.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Poliwag resembles a blue, spherical tadpole. It has large eyes, a pink mouth, and a long, mostly transparent tail. It has newly developed legs that still are not used to walking. Poliwag's most famous feature is the black and white swirl on its abdomen, which is actually its innards showing through its semitransparent skin. This skin is also very elastic so that it won't break if the Pokémon is bitten.

====Gender differences====
None.
====Special abilities====
Along with the standard {{t|Water}}-related abilities, it is capable of making its opponent drowsy with {{m|Hypnosis}}. It is also much more at home in the water, as it can be healed by water using {{a|Water Absorb}}. Its skin is also quite {{a|Damp}}.

===Behavior===
They are most likely found swimming then on dry land.
===Habitat===
[[Image:Watersedge.gif|left|frame|[[List of Pokémon by habitat#Water's-edge Pokémon|Water's-edge Pokémon]]]]
Poliwag can be found in small freshwater ponds and lakes that have an abundance of lily pads, as well as along the banks of tropical rivers.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

In the anime, Poliwag feed on [[salveyo weed]], which can only be found on clear lake bottoms.

[[Misty]] had a {{TP|Misty|Poliwag}} that eventually evolved into a {{p|Poliwhirl}} and then a {{p|Politoed}}.

One of the Pokémon used at the {{g|Trainer's School}} in ''[[AG015|Gonna Rule The School]]'' was a Poliwag. [[Max]] used it in a battle but lost to a {{p|Magby}}. However, it did help defeat Team Rocket.

A Poliwag appeared in [[DP089]].

==In the manga==
===In the Pokémon Special manga===
Poliwag makes a cameo in ''[[PS002|Bulbasaur, Come Home!]]'' as one of the Pokémon that escapes from [[Professor Oak's Laboratory]] and in ''[[PS010|Danger: High Voltorb]]'' in a Red's flashback remembering his journey with his {{p|Poliwhirl}}.

{{Special|Gold}} has a Poliwag as of {{PSV|8}}. It was lost when [[Team Rocket]] stole Gold's [[bag|backpack]] and its [[Poké Ball]] fell into the water. Gold eventually retrieved Poliwag at the Famous [[Fishing]] Zone. It [[evolution|evolved]] into {{p|Poliwhirl}} in {{PSV|9}}.

==Trivia==
*Poliwag and {{p|Ditto}} have extremely similar cries.
*Curiously, the swirl on Poliwag's stomach is in the opposite direction to Poliwhirl's and Poliwrath's, but in the same direction of the light green swirl on the stomach of Politoed.
*In its FireRed Pokédex entry, it is stated Poliwag has black skin. The Ruby and Sapphire Pokédex entry for {{p|Poliwhirl}} states that Poliwhirl's skin is covered in oily fluid - if the same applies to Poliwag, it might be a case similar to common bilberry: the berry itself is black but covered in a wax-like coating that makes it look blue.
*Despite having a visible tail, it cannot learn any [[moves]] that require a tail.
*Poliwag's eyes, nose and the swirl on its stomach is only visible in Generation I and IV's backsprites.
*In Pokémon Gold and Silver its sprite has very big eyes but in other games its eyes are normally small.
*In The Official Pokémon Handbook published by Scholastic Books, the back cover says "Did you know that the swirls on {{p|Poliwhirl}}'s stomach changes direction when it [[evolves]] into Poliwag?" This should be reversed.

===Origin===
Poliwag has the appearance of a tadpole. The spiral pattern on its belly is supposed to represent how the intestines of tadpoles are sometimes seen through their transparent skin.
====Name origin====
Poliwag appears to be a misspelling of ''{{wp|polliwog}}'', outdated English for tadpole. The ''wag'' may refer to its tail, although it is worth noting that ''polliwog'' literally means head-wiggle. Its Japanese name may come in part from ニョロニョロ ''nyoronyoro'', the sound of slithering, and 子供 ''kodomo'', child.

==In other languages==
*[[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Quapsel
*[[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Ptitard - ''P'tit'' is a contraction of ''petit'' meaning small, ''têtard'' means tadpole.
*[[List of Korean Pokémon names|Korean]]: 발챙이 ''Balchaengi''
*[[List of Chinese Pokémon names|Chinese (Taiwan and Hong Kong)]]: 蚊香蝌蚪 - 蚊香 is a kind of mosquito repellent used in China that is shaped like a spiral (like poliwag's belly). Literally 'mosquito repellent tadpole'
