Benpiano800: /* Cooldown */ new section

==What this still really needs==

---
1) If move is a TM/HM, and if so what # in each version. 
2) Generation of Creation (I, II, or III) 
3) Perhaps: % of causing side-efffect/what side effect it has. 

[[User:Evkl|Evkl]] 04:31, 25 Feb 2005 (UTC)

===In addition===

How about adding a box that shows what generation that move was introduced in? That's a fairly valuable piece of information for anyone planning movesets for the older generation games.

''That's what I meant by Generation of Creation--guess I wasn't specific enough. ~Ev''

Here's an excerpt from DarkBot:

[15:35:02] <DarkBot> [NUMBER] 289 
[15:35:02] <DarkBot> [NAME] SNATCH 
[15:35:02] <DarkBot> [DESCRIPTION] Steals the effects of the move the foe uses next. 
[15:35:02] <DarkBot> [TYPE] DARK 
[15:35:02] <DarkBot> [BASE PP] 10 
[15:35:02] <DarkBot> [BASE DAMAGE] 0 
[15:35:02] <DarkBot> [BASE ACCURACY] 100% 
[15:35:02] <DarkBot> [TARGET] Last opponent who moved 
[15:35:02] <DarkBot> [EFFECT] If the opponent is using a move to boost itself, cancels the opponent's turn and the user uses the move instead, uses a priority modifier 
[15:35:02] <DarkBot> [PRIORITY] This move by default goes first (4) 
[15:35:02] <DarkBot> [TOUCH] No [CAN MISS] No [CAN MAGIC COAT] No [CAN SNATCH] No [USES KING'S ROCK] No [SOUND MOVE] No 

All of this information is important and should be shown somewhere, either in the infobox or elsewhere on the move pages.

== Picture ==

Should we include a picture with each move? Just a thought. Also, the stuff like touches and misses is now covered under the Template:MoveProperties.

== King's Rock ==

I don't know how to change this, but when it says whether or not to use the King's Rock, the link should be the following, not whatever it is now:

http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Items#King.E2.80.99s_Rock

→[[User:Evin290|Evin290]] 23:51, 28 June 2006 (UTC)
:Better question... why in the world are there so many weird apostrophes on that page? It's the difference between ’, which I think is what some programs like word might use by default for apostrophes, and ', which is what the text editors on Bulbapedia use when you hit the apostrophe key. I mean, I think, anyway. You can't even tell 'em apart unless you look at them in the Bulbapedia's text editor thing whatever I'm typing in now. Let me see if I can do something about that. --[[User:Pie|Pie]] 00:08, 29 June 2006 (UTC)
:Okay. Are things fixed now? =D --[[User:Pie|Pie]] 00:13, 29 June 2006 (UTC)

== Cool, Smart, Tough, etc. Images ==
Do you think we might be able to get the little coloured box images for the Contest Categories?
They're a nice little aesthetic touch, I think. ~ [[User:Megalomania|Megalomania]] 23:23, 31 March 2007 (UTC)

== External MoveDex Links ==
I'd like to inquire as to why the Serebii.net Attackdex's are excluded from the links. Its included on the Pokémon so why not here? --[[User:Serebii|Serebii]] 20:20, 24 November 2007 (UTC)
:Why aren't we linking to Serebii's Attackdex? Is it just because Serebii's URL's don't have spaces in them for multi-word moves? Aren't there string manipulation wiki functions we can use to remove spaces from a parameter? Same question for the Legendary Pokémon URLs–is there no way to just replace spaces with +'s instead of requiring another parameter to the template? — [[User:Laoris|Laoris]] ([[User_Talk:Laoris|Blah]]) 21:49, 24 November 2008 (UTC)

== Mystery Dungeon Data ==

The following should be added to the infobox to better reflect data in [[Mystery Dungeon]]:
* PP (this is typically different from the main games)
* Accuracy (this is typically different from the main games)
* Critical (base critical hit probability)
* Target Type (one of the following)
** Enemies only
** Player and allies only
** Any Pokémon
** User
** User, then foe
** All except user
** All allies except user
* Range Type (one of the following)
** Tile in front
** 3 tiles diagonally and in front
** 1-tile range
** All in room
** Up to 2 tiles ahead
** All on floor
** User
** Tile in front, cuts corners
* Flags
** affected by {{m|Magic Coat}}
** affected by {{m|Snatch}}
** affected by Muzzled status
** does not damage [[Frozen]] Pokémon
** affected by Taunted status
** affected by [[Ginseng]]

This is needed to better improve {{m|Wide Slash}} and {{m|Vacuum-Cut}}.

== Move targets ==

I really think this template should have a field that specifies the targets of the move in a double battle (one target, both foes, user, all but user, random foe). Some of the non-single-target moves say so in their article, but some don't and it's not standardized. If we don't put it in this template, we should at least devise a standardish way to specify it in the article. — [[User:Laoris|Laoris]] ([[User_Talk:Laoris|Blah]]) 16:45, 25 November 2008 (UTC)

== Contact ==

There is now an article on [[contact]]. The infobox mentions contact but does not contain a link to the article [[contact]]. Should this be added to the info box? -[[User:TIMMY|TIMMY]] 11:17, 12 December 2008 (UTC)

== PP ==

Please change the <nowiki>[[PP]]</nowiki> on this template to <nowiki>{{PP}}</nowiki>. PP is a redirect to Power points, and the PP template links automatically to Power points with PP text.

:As in, move number? We could, but at the same point, how many people search for a move based on it's number?

== Suggestion ==

Any way to merge some of the AbilityInfobox and TownInfobox styles and put it on here? What I mean is, add flavor text per generation, provide screenshots from each generation, etc? I'm not that great with templating and began attempting it, but it's not up to my/BP's standards... See [[User:ht14/mt|this]] for a vague idea of what I'm talking about. The latter has yet to be implemented so as not o crowd the image section, but I think it'd be pretty successful. [[User:Ht14|'''''ht''''']][[User talk:Ht14|''14'']] 22:53, 24 May 2010 (UTC)

== Edit request ==

Can we make the default image scale none at all? So if the parameter is left out, the image is shown as its actual size? Most screenshot are 256 × 192 pixels, and even png thumbnails don't look too flash. [[User:Takharii|'''たか''']][[User talk:Takharii|'''はり''']][[Special:Contributions/Takharii|'''い''']] 10:13, 30 August 2010 (UTC)

Given the Triple Battle layout, wouldn't it make more sense to have the user in the Triple Battle grid at the lower left or lower right rather than the lower center? If it's it the lower center, it doesn't show if a Pokémon can hit a foe's Pokémon on the other end of the battle.

==Brightpowder Flag ==

This should be that it can be copied by Mirror Move. '''Why''' is this listed as Brightpowder?

Could someone please fix this because this error is pervasive and embarrassing. [[User:Surskitty|surskitty]] 00:19, 12 December 2010 (UTC)

== Links ==

You should at least add the links to Magic Coat and such even if the move isn't affected by them. What if someone saw that a move wasn't affected by Magic Coat and didn't know what it was? --I [[User:HideInTheDark|hide in the dark]]! 13:33, 11 May 2011 (UTC)

== Description ==

I noticed that description differs between generations. Eg. {{m|Explosion}}:

*II:''Very powerful but makes user faint.
*III:''Inflicts severe damage but makes the user faint.
*IV:(from article)''The user explodes to inflict damage on those around it. The user faints upon using this move.''
*V:Unknown. Anyone has info about it?

or {{m|Selfdestruct}}:

*II:''Powerful, but makes the user faint.
*III:''Inflicts severe damage but makes the user faint{{tt|.|Yeah, in this Generation, description is the same for Explosion and Selfdestruct}}
*IV:(again from article)''The user attacks everything around it by causing an explosion. The user faints upon using this move.
*V:I don't know it. Again.

See Gen II and Gen III [http://img692.imageshack.us/img692/5139/descriptionjx.png there].

(note - That stuff under Selfdestruct in Gen III is thing informing that Pokémon has Pokérus)

Note that description does not exist in Generation I. [[User:Marked +-+-+|Marked +-+-+]] 10:30, 24 June 2011 (UTC)

== Links to Smogon movedex broken for renamed moves ==

Hello.

It would appear that the links to Smogon's movedex on [[List_of_modified_moves#Name_changes|moves that have been renamed]] are broken, as Smogon uses the original name of the move (e.g. [http://www.smogon.com/gs/moves/Conversion2 Conversion2] and [http://www.smogon.com/rs/moves/Faint_Attack Faint Attack]) while the template here links to the new name ([http://www.smogon.com/gs/moves/Conversion_2 Conversion 2 (broken link)] and [http://www.smogon.com/rs/moves/Feint_Attack Feint Attack (broken link)]. I went through both lists (II-III and V-VI), and all but a single move are affected (Smokescreen still works as it was only a caps change).

I don't suppose the template has a parameter for overriding these links, does it? :)

For what it's worth, as I went through the list, I produced a table of corrected link names... although I'm not sure how best to share it. I can confirm, however, that for all 22 entries in the [[List_of_modified_moves#Name_changes|tables I linked above]], a working link to the move on Smogon can be produced by taking the old name, and substituting spaces with underscores.

== Suggestion: "Affected by {{m|Crafty Shield}}" Move property ==

Not sure if I had mentioned this previously, but I was thinking we should have a "Affected by {{m|Crafty Shield}}" move property since we have one for {{m|Protect}}, which Crafty Shield is similar to. [[User:Superjustinbros.|Superjustinbros.]] ([[User talk:Superjustinbros.|talk]]) 00:01, 18 January 2015 (UTC)
:Actually, never mind; I noticed that some moves that "block/protect" other moves like {{m|Wide Guard}} don't have move properties in the template. [[User:Superjustinbros.|Superjustinbros.]] ([[User talk:Superjustinbros.|talk]]) 00:09, 18 January 2015 (UTC)

== Z-move effects ==

Perhaps there should be an entry for Z-moves, particurly for Z-status moves? Since (almost) all of them have a corresponding effect when in Z-form. --[[User:FIQ|FIQ]] ([[User talk:FIQ|talk]]) 12:01, 28 February 2017 (UTC)
:I'd like to mention that the German Pokéwiki has done this (for all moves). While I believe it's useful for status moves, the way they did it, for damaging moves, I repeatedly confused their power as a Z-Move with their regular power. So if we do this, I believe we should make the difference clearly visible. [[User:Nescientist|Nescientist]] ([[User talk:Nescientist|talk]]) 17:02, 28 February 2017 (UTC)

== Flag reform ==

I think we seriously need to reform the "flags" in the infobox. This post is going to be long, so my most basic ideas here:
# It really shouldn't matter whether something is implemented as an actual flag by the developers; it is either useful, or it is not.
# I think a move's infobox should complement other parts of the wiki, most notably the move's own Effect section. It can condense, sure, but if you'd have to read the Effect section anyway, having it in the infobox isn't really that useful on its own.
So, this is a list of "flags" I think are worth discussing:
:{| class="roundy expandable" style="background:#{{White color}}; border: 3px solid #{{Red color}}"
!Flag
!Detail
|-
|aromaveil
|Prevented by {{a|Aroma Veil}}
|-
|authentic
|Ignores a target's substitute (unless target=self)
|-
|bite
|Power is multiplied by 1.5 when used by a Pokemon with {{a|Strong Jaw}}. {{cat|Biting moves}}
|-
|bullet
|Has no effect on Pokemon with {{a|Bulletproof}}. {{cat|Ball and bomb moves}}
|-
|charge
|The user is unable to make a move between turns.
|-
|contact ("touches")
|Makes [[contact]].
|-
|dance
|Copied by {{a|Dancer}}. {{cat|Dance moves}}
|-
|defrost
|Thaws the user if executed successfully while the user is frozen. {{cat|Moves that thaw out the user}}
|-
|distance
|Can target non-adjacent Pokémn in Triple Battles. Apparently realized as a flag internally.
|-
|field
|Was a [[field move]].
|-
|gravity
|Prevented from being selected and executed during {{m|Gravity|intense gravity}}
|-
|heal
|Prevented when {{m|Heal Block}} is in effect
|-
|kingsrock
|Affected by [[King's Rock]]. Only an actual flag in GenIII+IV. (See King's Rock article.)
|-
|magiccoat
|Bounced back to the original user by {{m|Magic Coat}} or the Ability {{a|Magic Bounce}}.
|-
|mirror
|Can be copied by {{m|Mirror Move}}
|-
|naturalobject
|Can destroy a [[natural object]]
|-
|nonsky
|Prevented from being executed or selected in a [[Sky Battle]]
|-
|powder
|From GenVI onward, has no effect on Grass-type Pokemon, Pokemon with the Ability Overcoat, and Pokemon holding Safety Goggles. {{cat|powder and spore moves}}
|-
|protect
|Blocked by {{m|Protect}} etc.
|-
|pulse
|Power is multiplied by 1.5 when used by a Pokemon with {{a|Mega Launcher}}. {{cat|Aura and pulse moves}}
|-
|punch
|Power is multiplied by 1.2 when used by a Pokemon with {{a|Iron Fist}}. {{cat|Punching moves}}
|-
|recharge
|If this move is successful, the user must recharge on the following turn and cannot make a move.
|-
|snatch
|Can be stolen from the original user and instead used by another Pokemon using Snatch.
|-
|sound
|Has no effect on Pokemon with {{a|Soundproof}}. {{cat|Sound-based moves}} (Note: does not automatically mean "authentic from GenVI onwards")
|-
|any other [[additional effect]]
|We ''could'' do it here (e.g. "burn=yes" etc.), including categories
|-
|various modifiers
|We ''could'' do it here. (''This move is stronger if the target has used Minimize'' etc.)
|}
And here are a few more considerations:
* I think the Effect section should always contain the most defining aspects of the move. (That includes additional effects, charge/recharge etc.) We would not need it in the infobox as well.
* We factor in distance in our target parameter (and I think that's better).
* Many of these change between generations, and if they're important, we should note those in Effect sections anyway. Currently, we (try to) stick to GenVII behavior for the parameter (except for field, which is yes if it ever was a field move).
* I don't think all of them ''are'' important enough for Effect sections. I really like how [[Snatch (move)]] or [[King's Rock]] have a table, and if you want to know whether something is affected by that, you'd be looking there anyway.
** protect is quite trivial; except a very status moves (noted at [[Protect (move)]]), it depends on the target (more specifically, on the hit target), unless it is a defining feature of a move (that needs to be in the Effect section)
* Just saying "is a <X> move" (sound-based, for example) covers many effects that are elsewhere on the wiki (categories in particular). Outsourcing it there (with a link) reduces the need to update any <X> move. And it also removes fluff from Effect sections{{tt|*|for example, compare the current Effect sections of Poison Jab (poison; concise), Hypnosis (sleep, authentic in GenI; concise), and Sing (sleep, sound, authentic in GenI and GenVI+; not concise, and I have no idea how to add that authentic stuff)}}.
So, I'm leaning towards including (only) the following parameters:
:aromaveil, authentic*, bite, bullet, contact, dance, field, gravity, heal, mirror*, (naturalobject), (nonsky), powder, pulse, punch, sound
I also think each of those should have a category. naturalobject and nonsky are for a few past games only, but I tend to think these should also be in the infobox. kingsrock, magiccoat and snatch change quite often, so I'm inclined to believe maybe they're better off at their respective pages only, with neat tables of affected moves per generation. I think mirror only changes for the few cases we already list at [[List of modified moves]], and most authentic changes are due to them making sound moves hit through substitute in GenVI, so maybe we ''can'' include them, if we want to. I believe protect may not really need a param, but if it does, it should certainly bold "no".

So, I think this seriously requires some very open mind. I'm hoping for some input. (And then, I'm hoping for an implementation of our results.) [[User:Nescientist|Nescientist]] ([[User talk:Nescientist|talk]]) 14:45, 22 April 2017 (UTC)
:One thing I'll say is, it may be wise to just make the template with your desired modifications in your userspace. I mean, for one thing, that's less work for someone else if it's accepted. For another...I, for one, can't really deal with that blob of text above well enough to give any sort of "real" answers, and examples could only help.

:::Yeah, that's what the "''kingsrock, magiccoat and snatch change quite often''" part was about.
:::For this discussion, I imagine actually reading my line of reasoning will help more than potential examples can. (Though I admit examples could help.) The template itself will ''work'' either way; I guess it's not rocketscience to add or remove yes/no params at will. Basically, what this is about is: which ones? [[User:Nescientist|Nescientist]] ([[User talk:Nescientist|talk]]) 11:01, 23 April 2017 (UTC)

== New template ==

I created one [[User:Nescientist/Template:MoveInfobox|here]] that addresses the last two sections and some other ideas (see [[User talk:Nescientist/Template:MoveInfobox|here]]). I would happily take feedback, before eventually working toward launching it. [[User:Nescientist|Nescientist]] ([[User talk:Nescientist|talk]]) 15:38, 22 June 2017 (UTC)

== Targetting color changes ==

This template has always been super confusing with the targetting colors. This is mostly because moves that ''may'' affect some targets and others that ''will'' affect specific targets use colors that are way too similar, it's almost indistinguishable. I think a more proper distinction should be made to ease up on the confusion. Maybe something like #FFBF00 could be used for attacks that have choice of targets could make things so much clearer, without being too clashing with the rest of the color scheme. '''[[User:Hfc2x|hfc]][[User talk:Hfc2x|2X]]''' 05:01, 9 October 2019 (UTC)

== TR ==

"Not a TM, HM, or Move Tutor move." should be changed to "Not a TM, HM, TR, or Move Tutor move." [[User:Pikcahu|Pikcahu]] ([[User talk:Pikcahu|talk]]) 18:59, 26 December 2019 (UTC)

== Adding a Field for Z-Power and Max Power ==

Just a sugguestion, there should be some (optional) field to include the Z-Power and Max Power for each move. [[User:TehPerson|TehPerson]] ([[User talk:TehPerson|talk]]) 02:57, 10 January 2020 (UTC)

== Update ==

I think this template has to be updated to support 3 graphics. I think we'll need 3 graphics for {{m|Eternabeam}}. --[[User:TheICTLiker4|'''TheI''']][[Special:Contributions/TheICTLiker4|'''CTLi''']][[User talk:TheICTLiker4|'''ker4''']] 07:38, 7 March 2020 (UTC)
:I'd really rather not do that. Ideally we would only have one image for each move, but at least two makes sense in a lot of cases (e.g. Solar Beam). Three is too much, so we'll just have to pick two frames for complex animations like Eternabeam. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 08:33, 7 March 2020 (UTC)

== Priority bug ==

I noticed that some pages render the priority value red and somewhat bigger. My guess is that the recent update has the expression error style take over, whenever the #ifexpr gives an error (compare {{m|Bide}} and {{m|Quick Attack}}). For this template, just replacing the #ifexpr by an #ifeq should suffice. [[User:Nescientist|Nescientist]] ([[User talk:Nescientist|talk]]) 16:33, 28 April 2021 (UTC)
:Ah, yes I can see what happened there. I've applied that fix (and replaced all of the cases of #ifexpr with #ifeq when just checking equality). I doubt this is the only template with this kind of issue, so be sure to point it out when you see another. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 11:14, 29 April 2021 (UTC)

== Usable/Unusable Categories ==

This template should includes lgpe, swsh, and bdsp parameters that contain categories, rather than putting the usable move categories manually. [[Special:Random|'''AKUro?''']] [[User talk:ShiroKuro-chan|あくロ]][[Special:Contributions/ShiroKuro-chan|ちゃん]] 02:48, 25 November 2021 (UTC)

== Super Contest Shows ==

It looks like there isn't a section for Super Contest Show move information (from BD/SP). Ideally that would include the number of Hype Points and a description. [[User:Spoonlord57|Spoonlord57]] ([[User talk:Spoonlord57|talk]]) 07:31, 17 January 2022 (UTC) ''SpoonLord57''

== Arceus Generation ==
Besides a Super Contest Show move infos I think we should add a Legends: Arceus Move tutor category, modifying a moves' stats with "Standard Move" and "Mastered Move", and add a category "Category:Moves unusuable/usable in Legends: Arceus". A last edited was almost 10 months ago, and so much time its a good reason to update this template. --[[User:Modikisha|Modikisha]] ([[User talk:Modikisha|talk]]) 20:20, 12 February 2022 (UTC)

== Outdated for BDSP ==

Moves like (say) {{m|Round}} currently have the text "TM76 in Generation VIII". This should be changed to "TM76 in Sword and Shield", and an extra parameter should be added for TMs in BDSP, similar to the Let's Go split. [[User:Blueapple128|Blueapple128]] ([[User talk:Blueapple128|talk]]) 09:56, 19 June 2022 (UTC)

== Linking ==

Several of the sections of this template include links to the relevant pages, however, Magic Coat, Snatch, and King's Rock do not. I think links should be added to these parts of the template. [[User:Exempt-Medic|Exempt-Medic]] ([[User talk:Exempt-Medic|talk]]) 16:03, 18 October 2022 (UTC)

== King's Rock Iconsistencies ==

What is the King's Rock section supposed to convey? There are errors no matter what the answer is: If it's meant to list how moves were affected in Gen II, then {{m|Absorb}} is wrong; if it's meant to list how moves were affected in Gen III, then {{m|Present}} is wrong; if they're meant to list how moves were affected in Gen IV, then {{m|Dragon Rage}} is wrong. If they're meant to list how moves were affected in Gen V onward, then {{m|Smelling Salts}} and {{m|Fiery Wrath}} are wrong. These lists are not exhaustive, there are numerous errors regardless of what the information is supposed to be. Should it list information from the most recent Generation, namely, "all attacking moves that do not already have a chance to flinch"? What should be done about the King's Rock portion of this infobox? [[User:Exempt-Medic|Exempt-Medic]] ([[User talk:Exempt-Medic|talk]]) 16:09, 18 October 2022 (UTC)
:I would assume it's supposed to be the most recent generation. Comparing Gen IV as listed on [[King's Rock]] with what the infoboxes say, I found the following differences:
* Pound, Absorb, Counter, Leech Life, Mega Drain, Present, Pursuit, Thief, Twineedle, Dragon Rage, Gust, Bug Buzz, Flare Blitz, Fling, Heat Wave, Secret Power, and Wring Out are affected
* Sky Attack, Snore, Waterfall, Rolling Kick, Twister, Brick Break, Revenge, Air Slash, Dark Pulse, Draco Meteor, Dragon Rush, Fire Fang, Ice Fang, Iron Head, and Thunder Fang are not affected

:I will assume Smelling Salts is meant to be affected as of Gen V based on your comment, since it is not affected in prior Gens. Are there any other changes from Gen IV that are missing from this list, or any that are inaccurate? Has what moves are affected changed at all since Gen V?
:Been going through these flags as listed on the wiki and there's a lot of information gaps in general. Mirror Move (as noted on its page) does not have a list of what moves are affected, yet alone per-Gen. What other moves are actually affected by the Protect flag? Do King's Rock and Razor Fang share their list of moves affected? Magic Bounce is listed in this template for the "Yes" argument on Magic Coat, but not on the "No" argument. In general, almost no move lists on its page that it has been changed in regards to whether or not these features affect them. :V [[User:WOLKsite|WOLKsite]] ([[User talk:WOLKsite|talk]]) 11:54, 18 November 2023 (UTC)

== Cooldown ==

Should there be an part the infobox listing the move's cooldown in Legends Z-A, if applicable? [[User:Benpiano800|Benpiano800]] ([[User talk:Benpiano800|talk]]) 02:00, 23 October 2025 (UTC)

The '''Kalos''' region (Japanese: '''カロス{{tt|地方|ちほう}}''' ''Kalos {{tt|region|chihō}}'') is a [[region]] of the [[Pokémon world]]. It was the sixth [[core series]] region to be introduced and is the setting of {{g|X and Y}} and {{g|Legends: Z-A}}.

It is shaped like a five-pointed star, with one of its biggest cities being [[Lumiose City]] in the north-central part of the region. It features a vast network of rivers and waterways snaking through much of its landscape, cities and towns. North-east of Lumiose City lies a mountain range where more frigid temperatures exist, extending down into the plains below. Western Kalos features a vast ocean, where the shoreside city of [[Shalour City]] lies in the middle of a cove.

==Etymology and design concept==
[[File:Pokemon-to-real-world-Europe.png|thumb|left|250px|The map of Europe showing the Kalos region as northern {{wp|France}}.]]
===Etymology===
According to [[Junichi Masuda]], Kalos's name is derived from the Greek word κάλλος ''kállos'', meaning beauty.<ref name=Honedge>[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5pG-q-WIYTs Pokémon X and Pokémon Y: Honedge Revealed!] (YouTube)</ref>

===Design concept===
{{main|Pokémon world in relation to the real world#Kalos|Pokémon world in relation to the real world → Kalos}}
Kalos is based on {{wp|France}};<ref name=Honedge/><ref>[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GrL3I38VO3o Pokémon X and Pokémon Y Developer Roundtable Recap] (YouTube)</ref> specifically, it most closely resembles the northern half of {{wp|Metropolitan France}}. According to Junichi Masuda, France was chosen as a basis for Kalos because the development team considered it a good fit for Pokémon X and Y's theme of "beauty".<ref>Nutt, Christian (September 19, 2013).

==History==
{{spoilers}}
===Prehistory===
3,000 years prior to {{g|X and Y}}, a war broke out between Kalos and another [[region]], which eventually caused the death of the [[AZ#Befriended|Floette]] that belonged to the king of Kalos, [[AZ]]. Determined to bring the Pokémon back to life, AZ built a machine that, using [[Infinity Energy]], ressurected his Floette. Unable to forgive those who took it from him, AZ turned the machine into the [[ultimate weapon]] and blasted the battlefield, killing many humans and Pokémon and ending the war as a result. As a side effect of the blast, both AZ and Floette were given eternal life. Horrified for what AZ has done, the Floette left him. AZ soon left Kalos and started wandering aimlessly around the {{pkmn|world}}. AZ's younger brother had wished to claim Kalos out of his own greed, but after the incident, his brother realized the error of his ways and sought to make amends for his actions by burying the weapon where [[Geosenge Town]] was built on, in an attempt to prevent it from ever being used again.

800 years prior, {{p|Xerneas}} released{{sup/6|X}}/{{p|Yveltal}} absorbed{{sup/6|Y}} life energy throughout the Kalos region upon reaching the end of its life cycle. Afterward, it withdrew into hibernation deep within a forest{{sup/6|X}}/mountain range{{sup/6|Y}}. 300 years prior, [[Parfum Palace]] was built by a king who wished to display his power to all.

===Contemporary history===
The contemporary history of Kalos differs slightly based on the title of the game being played.
===={{g|X and Y}}====
{{ga|Calem}}/{{ga|Serena}} leaves their home in [[Vaniville Town]], meeting [[Shauna]] and Serena/Calem (not chosen as [[Player character|player]]), who invite them to join the pair for a meeting in [[Aquacorde Town]]. Calem, Serena, and Shauna receive their [[first partner Pokémon]] from [[Tierno]] and a [[Pokédex]] from [[Trevor]] on behalf of [[Professor Sycamore]]. After delivering a letter to their {{kal|Grace|Mom}} from Professor Sycamore, they head on an adventure traveling across Kalos challenging [[Gym]]s in order to earn eight [[Badge]]s to then challenge the {{kal|Pokémon League}}. Over the course of their {{pkmn|journey}}, they come into contact with [[Team Flare]], an organization whose goal is to create a "beautiful and better" world while making money. They try to do this by stealing [[Fossil]]s from [[Glittering Cave]], siphoning electricity from the [[Kalos Power Plant]], stealing the [[Poké Ball]]s from the [[Poké Ball Factory]] in [[Laverre City]], and attempting to agitate and capture an {{p|Abomasnow}}. Calem/Serena also encounters a mysterious giant called [[AZ]] on several occasions, initially on [[Kalos Route 13]]. After earning their seventh Badge from [[Olympia]], Calem/Serena is contacted by [[Lysandre]], a man introduced by Professor Sycamore, who reveals both himself as the leader of Team Flare, and his intention to use the "[[ultimate weapon]]" to eliminate all life in the world except for those in Team Flare. Calem/Serena battle Lysandre, first in [[Lysandre Labs]], and again in the [[Team Flare Secret HQ]], before making their way down to the basement where they find {{p|Xerneas}}{{sup/6|X}}/{{p|Yveltal}}{{sup/6|Y}} and battle them, before battling against Lysandre once more. Even though Lysandre is defeated, and Calem/Serena and their friends reason with him, he still fires the ultimate weapon. The blast the weapon emits destroys it and buries Lysandre and the HQ, ultimately disbanding Team Flare. Calem/Serena then heads to the Pokémon League where they defeat the [[Elite Four]] and [[Diantha]], becoming {{pkmn|Champion}} of Kalos. Professor Sycamore then holds a grand ceremony in Kalos to celebrate Calem/Serena's victory, and all of their friends' efforts in defeating [[Team Flare]]. During the ceremony, a large mysterious man challenges Calem/Serena to a battle and is defeated, but is grateful to them, for in the battle, he finally felt free from the sorrow and rage he felt in creating the ultimate weapon. As such, the man is revealed to be the ancient king [[AZ]], and having once again become the man who loved Pokémon with all his heart, his long lost partner {{p|Floette}} returns to him, resulting in a tearful reunion.

After the ceremony, Calem/Serena is invited to [[Kiloude City]] to partake in its [[Battle Maison]], and is given a train pass for it by Professor Sycamore. After partaking in a few battles there, they are informed by Professor Sycamore that the Anistar sundial can radiate special energy, and their [[Mega Ring]] is upgraded to be able to locate Mega Stones hidden across Kalos during twilight. Calem/Serena then returns to [[Lumiose City]], where they are contacted by [[Looker]], who has a series of cases he wants them to investigate. Calem/Serena takes part in a series of trials across Lumiose and become's Looker's second-in-command. During the investigations, Calem/Serena and Looker meet an orphan girl named [[Emma]] and her {{p|Espurr}} named Mimi, who are living in the alleys of Lumiose. Eventually, Looker offers to let Emma live in the {{DL|North Boulevard|Looker Bureau}}. However, soon after, a mysterious figure vandalizes the [[Lumiose Museum]] and also lures Trainers in to steal their Pokémon. Upon investigating these cases, and through the help of [[Malva]], they learn that the crimes are being committed by [[Essentia]], who is actually Emma in a suit that enhances her power, but she is unconscious in doing this: she is actually being controlled by [[Xerosic]]. Calem/Serena and Looker track Xerosic down to a secret floor in Lysandre Labs, and manage to defeat Essentia in a series of battles. Looker captures Xerosic, and takes him away, and parts ways with Calem/Serena and Emma, and despite the latter's hesitance, Looker reassures her that their bonds will always be strong no matter how far apart they are.

====Between X and Y and Legends: Z-A====
[[AZ]] becomes the owner of [[Hotel Z]]. [[Quasartico Inc.]] is founded in [[Lumiose City]] and begins an urban redevelopment plan to turn the city into a place where [[human]]s and {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} can live together in harmony. [[Emma]] takes over [[Looker]]'s position as a detective. [[Mable]] becomes the leader of the Pokémon Research Lab.

===={{g|Legends: Z-A}}====
{{ga|Paxton}}/{{ga|Harmony}} visits [[Lumiose City]] and befriends [[Urbain]]/[[Taunie]], [[Lida]], and [[Naveen]].

==Geography==
[[File:Gloire City Castle.png|thumb|250px|left|One of the region's many castles in {{aniseries|XY}}]]
[[File:Kalos Pokédex map.png|thumb|250px|right|Map of the Kalos region, with its three primary divisions highlighted]]
The geography of Kalos varies greatly within the region. The region is naturally bordered by a vast ocean to the west and northwest, and the eastern and southern borders are formed by mountain ranges. These borders give the region its signature star-like shape, as a large peninsula reaches out to the sea in the northwest, creating one point, and elsewhere the coastline, mountain ranges and rivers create the remaining four points. Kalos is made up of three distinct divisions, all with their own unique characteristics in both geography and Pokémon: Central Kalos, Coastal Kalos, and Mountain Kalos. The bustling [[Lumiose City]] is located near the point where all three divisions meet.

Central Kalos is located in the centric and southern parts of the region. The area is dominated by large forested plains with multiple rivers crossing it, with very few changes in elevation. Several towns are surrounded by walls of some sort, and there are also many old castles and {{wp|château}}s. Many important human settlements and landmarks are located here, such as [[Vaniville Town]], [[Santalune City]], a portion of Lumiose City, and the [[Parfum Palace]].

Coastal Kalos is located by the vast sea in the western parts of Kalos. The mainly explored area is a strip between mountains and the sea. This area is dominated by rocky shores in the southwest and lush beaches and forests in the northwest. Most human settlements are located by the sea. The peninsula in the northwest is known for its {{wp|menhir}} stones. There are many important locations, such as the [[Reflection Cave]], [[Geosenge Town]], and [[Shalour City]] with its [[Tower of Mastery]].

Mountain Kalos is located in the eastern reaches of the region. The area is largely mountainous and the temperatures tend to be cooler than in the other parts, with some routes and settlements having snow covering them. To the north there is a marshy area that is said to be haunted. However, the settlements are plentiful, and there are some important landmarks, such as the [[Kalos Power Plant]] that is built on a harsh wasteland, the [[Poké Ball Factory]] in [[Laverre City]], and the {{kal|Pokémon League}}.

[[Kiloude City]] is located outside the three divisions, and is only reachable by train from Lumiose City. The city is relatively isolated from the other parts of the region, being completely surrounded by mountains.
{{-}}

===Demographics===
The Kalos region has a total population of 1288 including all the towns, cities, routes, and areas. Upon its introduction in [[Generation VI]], it was the largest region by population. Currently it is second largest region by population 

===Notable locations===
Kalos has sixteen cities and towns, and a Pokémon League.

Like in Unova, the routes of Kalos start counting again from 1, likely to represent its geographical isolation from the previously introduced regions. There are 22 routes in total.

In {{aniseries|PTS}}, like Unova, Kalos was far enough away from Kanto, Johto, Hoenn, and Sinnoh to require traveling via airplane (as evidenced by how {{Ash}} and [[Alexa]] arrived in the region, as well as how Ash and Serena left the region for Kanto and Hoenn, respectively).

==Trivia==
* The English and Japanese names of cities and towns in Kalos are derived from various ingredients used in fragrances. Likewise, the names in the European versions are derived from various terminologies related to art.
* Kalos is the only [[region]] in which:
** All Gym Leaders and Elite Four members use teams consisting entirely of Pokémon of the type they use.
** All Routes have alternate names.
** There is more than one status-healing local specialty food item: the [[Lumiose Galette]] and the [[Shalour Sable]], although the latter cannot be obtained in {{g|X and Y}} without trading.
* The Kalos region has the largest regional [[Pokédex]] of all regions.
* Kalos has the largest population of any region, with 1,288 inhabitants living in its cities, towns, and other areas.
* The {{wp|Demonym|adjectival form}} of Kalos is "Kalosian", as seen in [[Kiloude City]]'s map description.
* The Kalos region is shaped like a pentagon, a design also reflected in the Kalos Pokédex. This may be a nod to how France is often referred to as "L'Hexagone" due to its roughly hexagonal shape.

The '''Kalos''' region (Japanese: '''カロス{{tt|地方|ちほう}}''' ''Kalos {{tt|region|chihō}}'') is a [[region]] of the [[Pokémon world]]. It was the sixth [[core series]] region to be introduced and is the setting of {{g|X and Y}} and {{g|Legends: Z-A}}.

It is shaped like a five-pointed star, with one of its biggest cities being [[Lumiose City]] in the north-central part of the region. It features a vast network of rivers and waterways snaking through much of its landscape, cities and towns. North-east of Lumiose City lies a mountain range where more frigid temperatures exist, extending down into the plains below. Western Kalos features a vast ocean, where the shoreside city of [[Shalour City]] lies in the middle of a cove.

==Etymology and design concept==
[[File:Pokemon-to-real-world-Europe.png|thumb|left|250px|The map of Europe showing the Kalos region as northern {{wp|France}}.]]
===Etymology===
According to [[Junichi Masuda]], Kalos's name is derived from the Greek word κάλλος ''kállos'', meaning beauty.<ref name=Honedge>[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5pG-q-WIYTs Pokémon X and Pokémon Y: Honedge Revealed!] (YouTube)</ref>

===Design concept===
{{main|Pokémon world in relation to the real world#Kalos|Pokémon world in relation to the real world → Kalos}}
Kalos is based on {{wp|France}};<ref name=Honedge/><ref>[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GrL3I38VO3o Pokémon X and Pokémon Y Developer Roundtable Recap] (YouTube)</ref> specifically, it most closely resembles the northern half of {{wp|Metropolitan France}}. According to Junichi Masuda, France was chosen as a basis for Kalos because the development team considered it a good fit for Pokémon X and Y's theme of "beauty".<ref>Nutt, Christian (September 19, 2013).

==History==
{{spoilers}}
===Prehistory===
3,000 years prior to {{g|X and Y}}, a war broke out between Kalos and another [[region]], which eventually caused the death of the [[AZ#Befriended|Floette]] that belonged to the king of Kalos, [[AZ]]. Determined to bring the Pokémon back to life, AZ built a machine that, using [[Infinity Energy]], ressurected his Floette. Unable to forgive those who took it from him, AZ turned the machine into the [[ultimate weapon]] and blasted the battlefield, killing many humans and Pokémon and ending the war as a result. As a side effect of the blast, both AZ and Floette were given eternal life. Horrified for what AZ has done, the Floette left him. AZ soon left Kalos and started wandering aimlessly around the {{pkmn|world}}. AZ's younger brother had wished to claim Kalos out of his own greed, but after the incident, his brother realized the error of his ways and sought to make amends for his actions by burying the weapon where [[Geosenge Town]] was built on, in an attempt to prevent it from ever being used again.

800 years prior, {{p|Xerneas}} released{{sup/6|X}}/{{p|Yveltal}} absorbed{{sup/6|Y}} life energy throughout the Kalos region upon reaching the end of its life cycle. Afterward, it withdrew into hibernation deep within a forest{{sup/6|X}}/mountain range{{sup/6|Y}}. 300 years prior, [[Parfum Palace]] was built by a king who wished to display his power to all.

===Contemporary history===
The contemporary history of Kalos differs slightly based on the title of the game being played.
===={{g|X and Y}}====
{{ga|Calem}}/{{ga|Serena}} leaves their home in [[Vaniville Town]], meeting [[Shauna]] and Serena/Calem (not chosen as [[Player character|player]]), who invite them to join the pair for a meeting in [[Aquacorde Town]]. Calem, Serena, and Shauna receive their [[first partner Pokémon]] from [[Tierno]] and a [[Pokédex]] from [[Trevor]] on behalf of [[Professor Sycamore]]. After delivering a letter to their {{kal|Grace|Mom}} from Professor Sycamore, they head on an adventure traveling across Kalos challenging [[Gym]]s in order to earn eight [[Badge]]s to then challenge the {{kal|Pokémon League}}. Over the course of their {{pkmn|journey}}, they come into contact with [[Team Flare]], an organization whose goal is to create a "beautiful and better" world while making money. They try to do this by stealing [[Fossil]]s from [[Glittering Cave]], siphoning electricity from the [[Kalos Power Plant]], stealing the [[Poké Ball]]s from the [[Poké Ball Factory]] in [[Laverre City]], and attempting to agitate and capture an {{p|Abomasnow}}. Calem/Serena also encounters a mysterious giant called [[AZ]] on several occasions, initially on [[Kalos Route 13]]. After earning their seventh Badge from [[Olympia]], Calem/Serena is contacted by [[Lysandre]], a man introduced by Professor Sycamore, who reveals both himself as the leader of Team Flare, and his intention to use the "[[ultimate weapon]]" to eliminate all life in the world except for those in Team Flare. Calem/Serena battle Lysandre, first in [[Lysandre Labs]], and again in the [[Team Flare Secret HQ]], before making their way down to the basement where they find {{p|Xerneas}}{{sup/6|X}}/{{p|Yveltal}}{{sup/6|Y}} and battle them, before battling against Lysandre once more. Even though Lysandre is defeated, and Calem/Serena and their friends reason with him, he still fires the ultimate weapon. The blast the weapon emits destroys it and buries Lysandre and the HQ, ultimately disbanding Team Flare. Calem/Serena then heads to the Pokémon League where they defeat the [[Elite Four]] and [[Diantha]], becoming {{pkmn|Champion}} of Kalos. Professor Sycamore then holds a grand ceremony in Kalos to celebrate Calem/Serena's victory, and all of their friends' efforts in defeating [[Team Flare]]. During the ceremony, a large mysterious man challenges Calem/Serena to a battle and is defeated, but is grateful to them, for in the battle, he finally felt free from the sorrow and rage he felt in creating the ultimate weapon. As such, the man is revealed to be the ancient king [[AZ]], and having once again become the man who loved Pokémon with all his heart, his long lost partner {{p|Floette}} returns to him, resulting in a tearful reunion.

After the ceremony, Calem/Serena is invited to [[Kiloude City]] to partake in its [[Battle Maison]], and is given a train pass for it by Professor Sycamore. After partaking in a few battles there, they are informed by Professor Sycamore that the Anistar sundial can radiate special energy, and their [[Mega Ring]] is upgraded to be able to locate Mega Stones hidden across Kalos during twilight. Calem/Serena then returns to [[Lumiose City]], where they are contacted by [[Looker]], who has a series of cases he wants them to investigate. Calem/Serena takes part in a series of trials across Lumiose and become's Looker's second-in-command. During the investigations, Calem/Serena and Looker meet an orphan girl named [[Emma]] and her {{p|Espurr}} named Mimi, who are living in the alleys of Lumiose. Eventually, Looker offers to let Emma live in the {{DL|North Boulevard|Looker Bureau}}. However, soon after, a mysterious figure vandalizes the [[Lumiose Museum]] and also lures Trainers in to steal their Pokémon. Upon investigating these cases, and through the help of [[Malva]], they learn that the crimes are being committed by [[Essentia]], who is actually Emma in a suit that enhances her power, but she is unconscious in doing this: she is actually being controlled by [[Xerosic]]. Calem/Serena and Looker track Xerosic down to a secret floor in Lysandre Labs, and manage to defeat Essentia in a series of battles. Looker captures Xerosic, and takes him away, and parts ways with Calem/Serena and Emma, and despite the latter's hesitance, Looker reassures her that their bonds will always be strong no matter how far apart they are.

==Geography==
[[File:Gloire City Castle.png|thumb|250px|left|One of the region's many castles in {{aniseries|XY}}]]
[[File:Kalos Pokédex map.png|thumb|250px|right|Map of the Kalos region, with its three primary divisions highlighted]]
The geography of Kalos varies greatly within the region. The region is naturally bordered by a vast ocean to the west and northwest, and the eastern and southern borders are formed by mountain ranges. These borders give the region its signature star-like shape, as a large peninsula reaches out to the sea in the northwest, creating one point, and elsewhere the coastline, mountain ranges and rivers create the remaining four points. Kalos is made up of three distinct divisions, all with their own unique characteristics in both geography and Pokémon: Central Kalos, Coastal Kalos, and Mountain Kalos. The bustling [[Lumiose City]] is located near the point where all three divisions meet.

Central Kalos is located in the centric and southern parts of the region. The area is dominated by large forested plains with multiple rivers crossing it, with very few changes in elevation. Several towns are surrounded by walls of some sort, and there are also many old castles and {{wp|château}}s. Many important human settlements and landmarks are located here, such as [[Vaniville Town]], [[Santalune City]], a portion of Lumiose City, and the [[Parfum Palace]].

Coastal Kalos is located by the vast sea in the western parts of Kalos. The mainly explored area is a strip between mountains and the sea. This area is dominated by rocky shores in the southwest and lush beaches and forests in the northwest. Most human settlements are located by the sea. The peninsula in the northwest is known for its {{wp|menhir}} stones. There are many important locations, such as the [[Reflection Cave]], [[Geosenge Town]], and [[Shalour City]] with its [[Tower of Mastery]].

Mountain Kalos is located in the eastern reaches of the region. The area is largely mountainous and the temperatures tend to be cooler than in the other parts, with some routes and settlements having snow covering them. To the north there is a marshy area that is said to be haunted. However, the settlements are plentiful, and there are some important landmarks, such as the [[Kalos Power Plant]] that is built on a harsh wasteland, the [[Poké Ball Factory]] in [[Laverre City]], and the {{kal|Pokémon League}}.

[[Kiloude City]] is located outside the three divisions, and is only reachable by train from Lumiose City. The city is relatively isolated from the other parts of the region, being completely surrounded by mountains.
{{-}}

===Demographics===
The Kalos region has a total population of 1288 including all the towns, cities, routes, and areas. Upon its introduction in [[Generation VI]], it was the largest region by population. Currently it is second largest region by population 

===Notable locations===
Kalos has sixteen cities and towns, and a Pokémon League.

Like in Unova, the routes of Kalos start counting again from 1, likely to represent its geographical isolation from the previously introduced regions. There are 22 routes in total.

In {{aniseries|PTS}}, like Unova, Kalos was far enough away from Kanto, Johto, Hoenn, and Sinnoh to require traveling via airplane (as evidenced by how {{Ash}} and [[Alexa]] arrived in the region, as well as how Ash and Serena left the region for Kanto and Hoenn, respectively).

==Trivia==
* The English and Japanese names of cities and towns in Kalos are derived from various ingredients used in fragrances. Likewise, the names in the European versions are derived from various terminologies related to art.
* Kalos is the only [[region]] in which:
** All Gym Leaders and Elite Four members use teams consisting entirely of Pokémon of the type they use.
** All Routes have alternate names.
** There is more than one status-healing local specialty food item: the [[Lumiose Galette]] and the [[Shalour Sable]], although the latter cannot be obtained in {{g|X and Y}} without trading.
* The Kalos region has the largest regional [[Pokédex]] of all regions.
* Kalos has the largest population of any region, with 1,288 inhabitants living in its cities, towns, and other areas.
* The {{wp|Demonym|adjectival form}} of Kalos is "Kalosian", as seen in [[Kiloude City]]'s map description.
* The Kalos region is shaped like a pentagon, a design also reflected in the Kalos Pokédex. This may be a nod to how France is often referred to as "L'Hexagone" due to its roughly hexagonal shape.

'''South Boulevard''' (Japanese: '''サウスサイド　ストリート''' ''Southside Street'') is a street lining the southern half of [[Lumiose City]] in the [[Kalos]] region. It connects to [[North Boulevard]], [[Estival Avenue]], and [[Vernal Avenue]]. This is the first part of Lumiose City that the {{player}} can explore in {{g|X and Y}}, along with Vernal Avenue. The other parts are blocked until the player has defeated [[Team Flare]] at the [[Kalos Power Plant]] and watched [[Clemont]] relight the [[Lumiose Gym]].

South Boulevard has three gates connecting it to outside routes. In the southwest is the {{rt|4|Kalos}} Gate, in the southeast the {{rt|5|Kalos}} Gate, and in the northwest the {{rt|13|Kalos}} Gate.

==Places of interest==
===PR Video Studio===
{{main|Trainer PR Video}}
A purple building where Trainer PR Videos can be created, located directly across from the South Boulevard [[Pokémon Center]]. PR Videos filmed here can be shared with passers-by and people who have been given the player's [[Nintendo 3DS]] [[Friend Code]].

When the player reaches a sufficient amount of {{OBP|style|Lumiose City}}, the woman at the right counter will add new video effects for PR Videos. She will add two different sets: one if the player has at least 25 points of style, and the other for at least 90 points of style.

===Sycamore Pokémon Lab===
[[Professor Sycamore]]'s Pokémon research lab is located directly opposite Vernal Avenue. It is here where the player can receive either {{p|Bulbasaur}}, {{p|Charmander}}, or {{p|Squirtle}} upon defeating Professor Sycamore in a [[Pokémon battle]] early in the game, as well as their corresponding [[Mega Stone]]. After the player enters the [[Hall of Fame]], they can return to the lab to get the [[Poké Radar]] from one of the scientists on the second floor.

On the second floor, the player can change {{p|Rotom}}'s {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Rotom|forms}}.

In [[Pokémon Legends: Z-A]], [[Mable]] operates the lab.

===Coiffure Clips===
A small hairdresser located opposite the {{rt|5|Kalos}} Gate. The player can have their hair colored and styled here.

The prices and options are slightly different for male and female players. If a female player requests a styling, she may choose to have the stylist style only her front hair or all of her hair (including her front hair, as a secondary option).
*Styling and color: {{PDollar}}3,000 ({{female}}, front style only: {{PDollar}}2,500)
*Styling: {{PDollar}}1,500 ({{female}}, front only: {{PDollar}}500)
*Color: {{PDollar}}2,000

For both male and female players, the options for colors are the same. In order from lightest to darkest, they are: Blond{{male}}/Blonde{{female}}, Orange, Honey, Brown, and Black.

The styling options differ significantly for male and female players. If the player has at least 50 points of {{OBP|style|Lumiose City}}, additional styling options will be available.
*Male: Very Short, Short, Medium. '''Additional''': Medium Perm
*Female: Short, Bobbed, Medium, Long. '''Additional''': Ponytail, Pigtails
*Female (front): Sideswept, Bangs

At any point, instead of choosing a specific color or style themselves, the player may leave the decision to the stylist by selecting the "Surprise me" option. If this option is chosen, the stylist will pick a random style or color different from the player's current one.

===Restaurant Le Nah===
[[File:Restaurant Le Nah.png|thumb|250px|Interior of Restaurant Le Nah]]
{{main|Lumiose City restaurants}}
One of four restaurants in Lumiose City where the player can pay to be served a meal and the server will battle the player before each course. After finishing a meal at the Restaurant Le Nah, the player will receive a reward of up to 15 [[Tiny Mushroom]]s depending on how well the player did.

The Restaurant Le Nah is the cheapest restaurant to get into, but only offers [[Double Battle]]s. It is the first restaurant the player is able to access.

===Lumi Cab===
{{main|Lumi Cab}}
Lumi Cab is a taxi service that lets the player travel between many stops around Lumiose City for a fee; destinations that are farther away cost more. If the player has enough {{OBP|style|Lumiose City}}, the fare will be half price. If the player does not have enough money to pay for the ride, the {{tc|driver}} will challenge them to a battle.

From South Boulevard, fares range from {{PDollar}}710 to {{PDollar}}4,200 before any discount.

Signposts located around South Boulevard, where the player can ride a {{p|Gogoat}} that will take them to South Boulevard East or South Boulevard West. The fare is flat at {{Pdollar}}200.

{{-}}
==Style==
{{main|Style (Lumiose City)}}
Within Lumiose City, the player has a degree of style which can be raised by doing things around the city. If the player has a high style, prices may be lower, more items and services may be offered, and certain establishments may be accessible that were not before.

The effects of style on this street are noted in the sections above. Additionally, the {{DL|O-Power|Hatching Power}} O-Power can be obtained at Café Introversion with high enough style:
{| class="roundy sortable" style="background:#{{kalos color}}; border:2px solid #{{kalos color dark}}" cellpadding="3px"

| [[Mr. Bonding]] will give {{DL|O-Power|Hatching Power}} if the player has all other O-Powers
| style="{{roundybr|5px}}" | 190
|}

====Non-player characters====
In addition to the above benefits, some [[Non-player character|NPCs]] will change their dialogue as the player's style increases, and several new NPCs will appear in various places (mostly cafés) around the city as well. On South Boulevard, at 25 points of style, more people will appear in Café Introversion, and at 50 points of style, more people will appear in Shutterbug Café.

'''Lumiose City''' (Japanese: '''ミアレシティ''' ''Miare City'') is a large city acting as a prominent central hub located in the north-central part of the [[Kalos]] [[region]], known for being the second most populous city in the [[Pokémon world]].

Famous for its landmarks like [[Lumiose Gym|Prism Tower]] and the [[Lumiose Museum]], the city attracts many tourists. Its diverse shops, cafés, and [[Lumiose City restaurants|restaurants]] are popular among both visitors and residents. The city's architecture features tall office buildings and wide boulevards on the outskirts, with smaller {{wp|Paris}}ian-style buildings lining the inner avenues. A large canal runs diagonally through the city, and the roadways accommodate both automobiles and {{p|Gogoat}} traffic.

The city has five gates connecting it to outside routes. In the southeast is the {{rt|4|Kalos}} Gate, in the southwest the {{rt|5|Kalos}} Gate, in the northwest the {{rt|13|Kalos}} Gate, in the north the {{rt|14|Kalos}} Gate, and in the northeast the {{rt|16|Kalos}} Gate. It is connected to [[Kiloude City]] via train from {{DL|North Boulevard|Lumiose Station}}.

Initially in {{g|X and Y}}, a blackout restricts access to most of the city, leaving only the South Boulevard open and suspending the [[Lumi Cab]] service. Full access is restored once the blackout is resolved.

It is the setting for [[Pokémon Legends: Z-A]],<ref>[https://twitter.com/NintendoAmerica/status/1762487295859405151 Tweet from @NintendoAmerica: ''Watch to see the reveal trailer for #PokemonLegendsZA, a new adventure set entirely within Lumiose City, coming to #NintendoSwitch in 2025.'']</ref> where the city is undergoing redevelopment by [[Quasartico Inc.]] to create a harmonious environment for [[human]]s and {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}.

==Slogan==
'''''The City of Light''''' (Japanese: '''{{Ruby|光の都|ひかりの　みやこ}}''' ''The city of light.'')

</tabber>
</div>

In {{g|X and Y}} Many small shops and cafés line the many streets and avenues of Lumiose City.

The city is shaped like a spoked wheel. The outside "wheel" is split into [[North Boulevard|North]] and [[South Boulevard]]s, while the spokes are divided among several avenues and plazas. The boulevards and avenues are lined with the city's many establishments, while the plazas are primarily open gathering spaces, with an occasional establishment or two on the outskirts. The center hub is a wide, open area with Prism Tower at its center.

In {{g|Legends: Z-A}}, Lumiose City is undergoing an urban redevelopment plan, driven by a large corporation called [[Quasartico Inc.]]. The city has been outfitted with "[[wild zone]]s" in an effort to help humans and Pokémon share the city.

===South Boulevard===
{{main|South Boulevard}}
[[File:Lumiose City South Boulevard Map icon.png|thumb|Location of South Boulevard]]
South Boulevard is the southern half of the outer rim of the Lumiose City. The two boulevards are divided by the river that runs through the middle of the city. Locations on South Boulevard include the [[Trainer PR Video|PR Video Studio]], [[Professor Sycamore]]'s laboratory, and Coiffure Clips.

South Boulevard and [[Vernal Avenue]] are the first parts of Lumiose City that the player can explore in Pokémon X and Y; due to a blackout affecting Lumiose City, the other parts are blocked until the player has defeated [[Team Flare]] at the [[Kalos Power Plant]] and watched [[Clemont]] relight the [[Lumiose Gym]].

Café Soleil and the {{rt|5|Kalos}} gate are inaccessible until the player has talked to Professor Sycamore at the Sycamore Pokémon Lab. This is the first area to be unblocked during the course of the story.

South Boulevard is laid out as follows, moving along the street in a clockwise direction:

Lumiose City has six different plazas: Centrico Plaza is a large plaza located at the very center of the city, while the other five smaller plazas are arranged as the points of a pentagon centered on Centrico Plaza. The plazas are connected as a pentagon by small alleys that cut across the avenues. The alley between Vert Plaza and Jaune Plaza includes a bridge over the southeast end of the river; Magenta Plaza itself is built on a bridge over the northwest end of the river.

Each of the small plazas is named after a color in French. All of the small plazas contain an obelisk of the same color as the name of that plaza.

===Gates===
Lumiose City has five gates connecting it to outside routes.

{{rt|4|Kalos}} Gate, in the southwest the {{rt|5|Kalos}} Gate, in the northwest the {{rt|13|Kalos}} Gate, in the north the {{rt|14|Kalos}} Gate, and in the northeast the {{rt|16|Kalos}} Gate.

==Transportation==
===Lumi Cab===
{{main|Lumi Cab}}
Lumi Cab is a taxi service that lets the player travel between many stops around Lumiose City for a fee, with destinations that are farther away costing more. If the player has 140 or more {{OBP|style|Lumiose City}}, the fare will be half price. If the player does not have enough money to pay for the ride, the {{tc|driver}} will challenge them to a battle.

===Gogoat Shuttle===
[[File:XY Riding Gogoat.png|thumb|right|300px|Artwork of Calem riding the Gogoat Shuttle]]
Gogoat Shuttle is a service where the player can travel between many stops around Lumiose City for a flat fee of {{Pdollar}}200. The service allows people to ride a {{p|Gogoat}} around [[North Boulevard]] or [[South Boulevard]]. The Gogoat Shuttle stops are marked by black signs with blue screens located on the outer side of the boulevards; the player can initiate the service by interacting with the Gogoat Shuttle stop signs.

When the player boards the service, they are asked whether they want to travel east or west along their current boulevard; however, if they are already at the eastmost or westmost stop in that boulevard, they are only given the option to travel to the opposite end. The Gogoat Shuttle cannot cross between boulevards. The Gogoat Shuttle stops at each shuttle stop along its path, giving the rider the option to dismount at each one, until it reaches the final stop at the far end of the boulevard, when the rider is forced to dismount. The Gogoat moves automatically between stops, without the rider being able to control it. The name of each stop is announced by the Audio Guide in the Gogoat Shuttle stop signs.

The following is the list of Gogoat Shuttle stops in each boulevard, listed from east to west (i.e. the order the stops will be presented in when choosing to travel west).

Battles are conducted in special formats—[[Double Battle]], [[Triple Battle]]s, or [[Rotation Battle]]s—with the player's pool of options depending on the restaurant. After finishing a meal, the player will receive a reward: a number of some [[valuable item]], depending on which restaurant the player is in and how well they did.

==== Lysandre Café ====
A red café located near Magenta Plaza. It grants the player access to [[Lysandre Labs]], one of [[Team Flare]]'s hideouts in the Kalos region. Despite the small size, it serves as an important location in both the main plot line and the after story sideline plot with [[Xerosic]].

===''Pokémon the Series''===
===={{aniseries|XY}}====
{{Ash}} arrived at an airport in Lumiose City with [[Alexa]] in ''[[XY001|Kalos, Where Dreams and Adventures Begin!]]'' as his first destination in the Kalos region. Ash wanted to challenge the [[Gym]] there, but was denied access by [[Clembot]] for not having enough [[Badge]]s. He then fell several feet, where he was saved by {{an|Clemont}} and {{an|Bonnie}}. This is also where Ash had his first Kalos {{pkmn|battle}}, using {{AP|Pikachu}} against [[Clemont's Bunnelby]]. However, the battle was interrupted by {{TRT}}, who was trying to snatch Pikachu. The group was saved by a {{pkmn2|wild}} {{AP|Froakie}}, who was injured in the process, and taken to {{an|Professor Sycamore}}'s lab. Following the events of Professor Sycamore's {{p|Garchomp}} going out of control, in ''[[XY002|Lumiose City Pursuit!]]'', Ash and {{ashfr}} left Lumiose City in ''[[XY003|A Battle of Aerial Mobility!]]''. {{an|Serena}} first arrived at Lumiose City at the end of the episode, where she chose {{TP|Serena|Fennekin}} as her first partner Pokémon at Professor Sycamore's lab in [[XY004|the next episode]].

Ash and his friends along with {{an|Serena}} arrived again at Lumiose City in ''[[XY008|Grooming Furfrou!]]'', where they went to a grooming salon owned by [[Sherman]]. In ''[[XY009|Clemont's Got a Secret!]]'', the group went to the Lumiose Gym for Clemont to get the ownership of the Gym back from [[Clembot]]. Finally, in ''[[XY010|Mega-Mega Meowth Madness!]]'', the group went back to Professor Sycamore's lab, where Clemont was given a {{TP|Clemont|Chespin}}, after which they left the city again.

In ''[[XY062|The Future Is Now, Thanks to Determination!]]'', Clemont returned to Lumiose City on his own via helicopter to train for his upcoming Gym battle with Ash.

Ash, Serena, and Bonnie reunited with Clemont in ''[[XY066|Confronting the Darkness!]]'' for Ash's Gym battle against Clemont. However, the match was interrupted by [[Officer Jenny]] who arrested Clembot for the crimes committed by [[Dark Clembot]] and [[Belmondo]], who were eventually found outside [[Lumiose Museum]]. Lumiose University, an electronics store, a high-end boutique, and a 3 star hotel were also featured in this episode. In ''[[XY067|The Moment of Lumiose Truth!]]'', Ash eventually had his Gym battle against Clemont and his Bunnelby, {{TP|Clemont|Heliolisk}}, and {{TP|Clemont|Luxray}}, and won with his {{TP|Ash|Pikachu}}, {{TP|Ash|Hawlucha}}, and {{TP|Ash|Goodra}}. This victory earned Ash the {{badge|Voltage}}, his fifth Kalos League Badge overall. Following the Gym battle, the group took a visit to Professor Sycamore again in ''[[XY068|Garchomp's Mega Bond!]]'', after which they left the city.

[[File:Lumiose City cliffside anime 1.png|thumb|left|250px|Full night view of Lumiose City from a cliff]]
As revealed in ''[[XY121|Seeing the Forest for the Trees!]]'', Lumiose City would be the site of the Kalos League. The [[Lumiose Conference]] began in ''[[XY125|A League of His Own!]]'' and ended in ''[[XY131|Down to the Fiery Finish!]]'', with [[Alain]] as the victor. As the closing ceremonies were underway, [[Team Flare]], having secretly taken over the Prism Tower, took control of [[Z2]] and forced it to transform into its 50% Forme. After doing so, it attacked the city with massive roots, causing serious damage to it, Prism Tower, and the stadium where the Lumiose Conference was taking place.

Lumiose City was put under siege by Team Flare, using the roots created by Zygarde, from ''[[XY132|A Towering Takeover!]]'' to ''[[XY136|Forming a More Perfect Union!]]''. In ''[[XY137|Battling with a Clean Slate!]]'' and ''[[XY138|The First Day of the Rest of Your Life!]]'', after the Team Flare crisis ended, Lumiose City began a process of rebuilding. In ''[[XY140|Till We Compete Again!]]'', Ash and the gang returned to Lumiose City to bid farewell to Alain, Mairin, and Professor Sycamore before Ash and Serena left the Kalos region for [[Pallet Town]] and [[Hoenn]], respectively. After both Ash and Serena departed through the Lumiose airport, Clemont and Bonnie returned to Prism Tower.

In [[XYS06]], {{an|Cilan}} visited Lumiose City for a [[fishing]] tournament, where he met Clemont and Bonnie, asking the former to take him to Prism Tower. On the way, the trio also explored the Lumiose Subway system. After getting to see the tower, Cilan departed to go see the [[Tower of Mastery]] in [[Shalour City]].

===={{aniseries|JN}}====
Lumiose City appeared briefly in ''[[JN025|A Festival Reunion!]]'' as Ash and [[Goh]] flew over it on their way to Shalour City.

In ''[[JN103|The Future is Now, Thanks to Strategy!]]'', Ash and Goh traveled to Lumiose City for Ash next [[World Coronation Series]] battle against [[Elite Four]] member [[Drasna]]. In order to prepare him for it, they visited Clemont and Bonnie at the Lumiose Gym, where [[Ash's Sirfetch'd]] and {{AP|Dracovish}} ended up learning {{m|Meteor Assault}} and {{m|Dragon Rush}}, respectively. The battle between Ash and Drasna took place [[JN104|the next day]] at the Lumiose Conference stadium. The tough battle eventually ended in Ash's victory, increasing his tournament ranking.

Lumiose City made a brief cameo in a fantasy during Team Rocket's {{motto}} in ''[[JN141|A Squad's Worth of Passion!]]''.

In ''[[PG16|The Beauty Eternal]]'', many citizens in many areas of Lumiose City were going about their daily lives after the release of the [[Holo Caster]]. Café Soleil was also shown, with [[Lysandre]] discussing with [[Diantha]] about the concept of eternal beauty.

In ''[[PG17|The Investigation]]'', [[Looker]] confronted and chased down Essentia through Lumiose City, before eventually cornering her in Lysandre Café and revealing her as [[Emma]].

In ''[[PG18|The Redemption]]'', a parade was held in Lumiose City to celebrate the new [[Kalos League]] {{pkmn|Champion}}, {{ga|Calem}}. During the parade, [[AZ]] appeared and challenged Calem to battle. He lost, but was still relieved of having freed from the part of him that had built the [[ultimate weapon]] 3000 years earlier. Hearing this, his long-lost {{p|Floette}} returned to him, causing him to break into tears.

==In the manga==
===Pokémon Adventures===
[[File:Lumiose City Adventures.png|thumb|250px|Lumiose City in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
===={{MangaArc|X & Y}}====
Lumiose City first appeared in ''[[PS552|They Have a Flare for a Li'l Kanga-Napping]]'' and ''[[PS554|Kangaskhan...Kangascan't]]'', where [[Professor Sycamore]] showed [[Lysandre]] the footage of [[Xerxer|Xerneas]] and {{p|Yveltal}}'s battle in [[Vaniville Town]], sent to him by {{adv|Trevor}}.

The city reappared in ''[[PS558|What Does Charmander Do When It Dozes]]'', where {{adv|X}}, {{adv|Y}}, {{adv|Tierno}}, Trevor, {{adv|Shauna}} arrived in the city. Following Trevor's suggestion, the group decided to visit Professor Sycamore, delivering his lost [[Salamè|Charmander]], which they had found on {{rt|4|Kalos}}, back to him in the process. Seeing X's negative mood, Sycamore decided to cheer him up by challenging him to a {{pkmn|battle}}. After the battle, Sycamore gave Charmander to X, and was also surprised to find out that X had come to accept the [[Marisso|Chespin]] he had sent to him.

Meanwhile, Trevor had his broken [[Holo Caster]] fixed by Lysandre, although he felt himself extremely nervous around the man's presence, having recognized his figure from one of the pictures taken during Vaniville Town's destruction. Lysandre later sent his Pokémon to surround the children, but they were saved by the arrival of [[Diantha]].

The group later visited the [[Lumiose Gym|Prism Tower]] in order to ask Professor Sycamore about something they forgot before, not aware that the interview Professor Sycamore had gone to have at the tower was already over. Once there, the group found [[Alexa]] being attacked by the [[Lumiose Press editor-in-chief]], who, having allied with [[Team Flare]], was trying to silence Alexa to keep her from spilling out the truth about the destruction of Vaniville Town. X battled and defeated the editor-in-chief, allowing the group to escape the city. An [[Élec|Electrike]] from the tower became interested in X during the battle and subsequently started following him as the group left Lumiose City.

The group returned to Lumiose City in ''[[PS593|Xerneas Gives]]''. Much to their shock, the people of Lumiose City seemed to be completely unaware of the recent events involving Team Flare and treated them like scum in spite of their role in stopping the [[villainous team]]. Despite this, they stopped AZ's seeming attempt to use the [[ultimate weapon]] again, leading to the weapon's key getting destroyed. AZ then revealed that he was merely testing them to see if they'd choose the same path as Team Flare. Having felt a change in AZ's heart, his long-lost {{p|Floette}} then returned to him. Professor Sycamore suggested a parade for the group to celebrate them saving the Kalos region, but they declined the offer. Three months later, Shauna, Tierno, and Trevor had all moved to Lumiose City, with Shauna becoming a {{p|Furfrou}} stylist, Tierno teaching the {{tc|Lumiose Gang Member|Lumiose Gang}} how to dance, and Trevor taking over [[Sina]] and [[Dexio]]'s role as Sycamore's {{TP|Professor|assistant}}, while the duo headed to the [[Alola]] region to study the sightings of {{adv|Zygarde}} made there.

In ''[[PS595|Magearna Moves]]'', [[Emma|Essentia]] seemed to resurface in Lumiose City by attacking the [[Lumiose Museum]]. As surveillance camera footage showed the culprit with the {{pkmn|category|Artificial Pokémon}} {{p|Magearna}}, they were initially assumed to be working together, but Trevor soon realized that Magearna was innocent. The [[Mythical Pokémon]] also helped him to defeat the culprit and expose them as a robot constructed by [[Xerosic]] that had reactivated on its own after being abandoned.

==Trivia==
* If the player enters Lumiose City and gets on their [[bicycle]], the music does not change.
* At the Magenta Plaza [[Pokémon Center]], a young man [[List of cross-generational references|mentions]] [[Team Plasma]] "making news a {{game|Black and White|s|while back}} in the [[Unova]] region," while a young woman mentions [[Professor Oak]]'s {{ga|Blue|grandson}} having visited Kalos to study abroad. She also tells how he used to say "Bonjour" while meeting and "Smell ya later!" while leaving. The first quote refers to the way how Blue greets the player while visiting [[S.S. Anne]] in the original {{game|Red and Blue|s|Generation I}} {{game|Yellow||games}} and {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s|their remakes}}, while the latter one was used whenever he left the player's presence.
* On the second floor of the Fighting Dojo's building, a {{tc|Hex Maniac}} will appear, say "No, you're not the one," and float away.<ref>[https://www.pokemon.jp/special/kowapoke/horrorspot/horrorspot002/ Real Stories - Pokémon Horror Spot | Are they really Scary? | Pokémon Daisuki Club]</ref>
* The shape and colors of the plazas closely resemble the logo of the {{gdis|Battle Frontier|IV}} in [[Generation IV]].
* Lumiose City is tied with [[Hammerlocke]] for having the most [[Pokémon Center]]s in a single city, with three.
* In Jaune Plaza, there are two girls who are mimicking the sounds of Pokémon. In the Japanese version, one girl is mimicking the sound of {{p|Heatran}} while the other is complimenting her. However, this is mistranslated in the English version to imply that a Lava Dome Pokémon appears in Jaune Plaza.

===Glitches===
====Lumiose City save glitch====
[[File:Lumiose City Save Glitch Map.png|thumb|Map of Lumiose City by Nintendo indicating areas unsafe to load saves in]]
{{main|Lumiose City save glitch}}
At the time of release of {{g|X and Y}}, many players reported being unable to move after loading a save within Lumiose City. According to Nintendo.com, if the player saves the game in certain areas of Lumiose City, then ends the game, the controls will not respond when the saved game is reloaded. They provided a map indicating known areas where the glitch can occur, which includes the entire outer boulevards. On October 25, 2013, Nintendo released a patch for this glitch via the Nintendo eShop.
====Fire Blast camera clipping glitch====
When a Pokémon with a large hitbox (such as {{p|Rayquaza}}) uses {{m|Fire Blast}} in a battle in one of the back alleys of Lumiose City, when the camera pans backwards, it will clip through the building to the right side of the Pokémon, causing it to completely disappear momentarily.

===Origin===
{{main|Pokémon world in relation to the real world#Kalos|Pokémon world in relation to the real world → Kalos}}
Lumiose City is based on {{wp|Paris}}, the capital and largest city of {{wp|France}}.<ref>[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5pG-q-WIYTs Pokémon X and Pokémon Y: Honedge Revealed!] (YouTube)</ref> Its radial layout with Centrico Plaza in the center is similar to the real-life {{wp|Place Charles de Gaulle}}, in which the {{wp|Arc de Triomphe}} stands in its center. However, the building in Centrico Plaza, [[Lumiose Gym|Prism Tower]], is based on the {{wp|Eiffel Tower}} instead.

The architecture style of Lumiose City is very similar to its real counterpart; Paris itself consists mostly of buildings dating back up to several centuries and the outskirts (also called the Parisian suburbs) were recently urbanized, dating back to the 1960s. Also, like Paris, Lumiose City has roads connecting to all parts of Kalos. The only difference is that Paris' connections to all parts of France are used by {{wp|List of railway stations in Paris|railroads}}.

The renovation project of Lumiose City in [[Pokémon Legends: Z-A]], is partially based on the {{wp|Haussmann's renovation of Paris}}, an urban renewal project led by architect Eugene Haussmann, which consisted of widening the streets of Paris, demolishing medieval buildings and creating a more appropriate urban layout with drainage and the construction of more elegant buildings. The [[Quasartico Inc.]] building it's based in the {{wp|Tour Montparnasse}} and the Lumiose shopping gallery is based in the {{wp|Galeries Lafayette}}, a luxurious shopping gallerie builded by Eugene Haussmann.

'''Emma''' (Japanese: '''マチエール''' ''Matiere'') is a character introduced in {{g|X and Y}} who plays a major role in the post-game side story with [[Looker]] in [[Lumiose City]]. She is the only character in the games to have the {{DL|Pokémon Trainer|Trainer class}}es '''Suspicious Woman''' (Japanese: '''あやしいおとな''' ''Suspicious Adult''), '''Suspicious Child''' (Japanese: '''あやしいこども''' ''Suspicious Child''), and '''Suspicious Lady''' (Japanese: '''あやしいおねえさん''' ''Suspicious Miss''). She is set to play a role as a detective in {{g|Legends: Z-A}}.

==In the core series games==

=== [[Pokémon X and Y]] ===
{{spoilers}}
[[File:Emma and Looker XY.png|left|250px|thumb|Looker offering Emma a place to stay]]

In X and Y, Emma is a young girl living in the dark alleyways of [[Lumiose City]] with her {{p|Espurr}} friend Mimi (Japanese: '''もこお''' ''Mokō''). She is initially an illiterate orphan who doesn't even have enough money to buy [[Poké Ball]]s. She meets Looker and the player during their first case, where concerned mothers reported that their children have been hanging out in suspicious alleyways. In reality, the children were playing with and protecting Emma and Mimi. Looker invites Emma to live at the {{DL|North Boulevard|Looker Bureau}} and work as his assistant. Though she is interested, Emma doesn't want to leave Mimi behind. Looker extends the invitation to Mimi as well, but Mimi is terrified of adults and runs off. After the player has found and befriended Mimi, Emma is much friendlier towards Looker and accepts his invitation, heading back to the Looker Bureau with him, Mimi, and the player. Emma then begins to learn how to read, write, and do basic arithmetic under Looker's tutelage.

During the following case, Emma returns to the Bureau to find a hysterical {{tc|Tourist}} angrily shouting insults in English (Japanese if the language is set to English) about Looker, who had left moments ago under the assumption that the woman wanted tea. Speaking in the language of the tourist, Emma defends Looker while Mimi translates their conversation telepathically for the player and Looker, revealing that the woman had her Pokémon stolen at the {{DL|North Boulevard|Lumiose Station}}. When Looker returns and learns of the situation, Emma tries to discourage him from helping the woman, but Looker insists that anyone in distress deserves their help and quickly leaves for the station. Emma then begs for the player to help Looker, revealing that he is defenseless because his {{p|Croagunk|only Pokémon}} died during a past case.
The culprits at the station turn out to be the {{tc|Lumiose Gang Member|Lumiose Gang}}, a trio of gangsters, who stole the Pokémon in order to lure Looker to their turf for a challenge. Emma had unintentionally become their boss after beating them in a fight, and they recognized her strength as leadership, but she stopped hanging around them once she took up residence at the Looker Bureau. Once the gangsters are defeated by the player, Emma shows up and demands that they return the stolen Pokémon and apologize to Looker.

Emma steadily grows worried that she and Mimi are a financial burden on Looker, though he assures her that they have enough money to get by and encourages her to focus on her studies. Still feeling guilty, Emma sets off to look for part-time work at a café that she saw was hiring. It turns out that the café was actually {{DL|Lumiose City|Lysandre Café}} and Emma was tricked into being a test subject for [[Xerosic]]'s invention, the Expansion Suit. This leads to her disappearing for long stretches of time, which worries Looker greatly.

When in the Expansion Suit, Emma is given the codename '''Essentia''' (Japanese: '''エスプリ''' ''Esprit''). The suit enhances her physical abilities to superhuman levels, gives her the ability to override a Poké Ball's programming, and allows her to change her appearance. While running his tests, Xerosic finds that Emma has no experience as a {{pkmn|Trainer}} and teaches her the basics, also allowing her to borrow his Pokémon. However, the Pokémon prefer playing with Emma instead of battling, which forces Xerosic to control the suit remotely. Emma falls unconscious while the remote-control function is engaged, and she has no memory of anything that happens while she is "asleep".

During her tests as Essentia, she behaves like a robot and follows Xerosic's every command. The first test has her sneak into the [[Lumiose Museum]] and vandalize a painting. Afterwards, she begins lurking in dark alleys and challenging unsuspecting people to battle, stealing their Poké Balls afterwards. This catches the attention of Looker, who works with the player to bait and catch the perpetrator. When she gets cornered, Mimi runs in, tipping Looker off to Essentia's true identity. Xerosic's control over the suit starts to malfunction after Essentia tries to attack Mimi, only to accidentally hurt Looker. Essentia flees the scene and the tests are temporarily suspended.
[[File:Xerosic Essentia XY.png|250px|thumb|Xerosic controlling Essentia]]
The following day, the player is sent to apprehend Xerosic at Lysandre Labs. After the player defeats Essentia in a series of battles, Looker arrives and demands that Xerosic release Emma. After the suit's remote-control function starts glitching again, Xerosic agrees, letting Emma go and allowing Looker to take him into custody.

After Xerosic is brought to justice, Looker reveals to Emma that he is a member of the [[International Police]] and that he must leave to continue his civic duty. However, he feels strongly towards Emma and in order to ensure that she has a bright future, purchases the entire building where Looker Bureau was located, and instructs Emma to use it however she sees fit. As the new head detective, Emma vows to keep Lumiose City safe with her identity as Essentia, using the suit and Pokémon that Xerosic gave her.
{{endspoilers}}

After completing the Looker storyline, the player can have a [[rematch]] with Emma in her Expansion Suit once per day on Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday. On Monday, Wednesday, Friday, and Sunday, she will not be wearing the Expansion Suit and talk about her duties as the head of the Looker Bureau.

===Pokémon Generations===
Emma appeared in ''[[PG17|The Investigation]]''. She was first seen as Essentia, stealing three {{p|Furfrou}} from a Trainer she had beaten before being confronted by [[Looker]]. When Mimi seemed to recognize Essentia, Looker quickly came to realize the thief's true identity. Looker and Mimi pursued Essentia to {{DL|Lumiose City|Lysandre Café}}, where Mimi attacked her, destroying the Expansion Suit's helmet and freeing Emma from its control.

===Pokémon Adventures===
[[File:Cassius Grace Emma Adventures.png|thumb|250px|Emma in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
[[File:Lumiose Gang Adventures.png|thumb|200px|left|Emma as a member of the Lumiose Gang]]
[[File:Essentia Adventures.png|thumb|left|250px|Essentia in Pokémon Adventures]]
Emma debuted in ''[[PS560|Trevenant Pokes]]''. She was originally a normal child that lived with cruel parents, but ran away from home to live as a street urchin in the [[Lumiose City]] alleyways. She banded together with other children and Pokémon that had similar experiences, eventually forming the Lumiose Gang. Emma would later end up befriending [[Cassius]] and joined his group, but due to her lack of computer skills, she took on odd jobs to support her friends and avoid feeling like a burden.

Emma first appeared as Essentia at [[Shalour City]], where she attacked the [[Tower of Mastery]] to obtain the secrets of [[Mega Evolution]]. She attempted to steal the building by covering the surrounding area with her {{p|Trevenant}}'s roots. To prevent Mega Evolution from falling into the wrong hands, [[Korrina]] and [[Gurkinn]] were forced to activate the tower's self-destruct mechanism, destroying the building and allowing them to escape.

Emma debuted as herself in ''[[PS567|Morphing Manectric]]'', where she was introduced to {{adv|X}} and his friends. Emma traveled with Cassius and his gang as they traveled around [[Kalos]] maintaining the [[Pokémon Storage System]] in various places like the [[Battle Chateau]]. In ''[[PS572|Shooting Frogadier]]'', Cassius was informed that Emma went missing, which he noted had happened before.

In ''[[PS574|Tying Trevenant]]'', Essentia provided support for [[Celosia]], who used mind-controlled residents of [[Vaniville Town]] to move the dormant tree form of [[Xerxer|Xerneas]] to the [[Team Flare Secret HQ]]. X and his friends confronted the villains, but the former's attempt to Mega Evolve two of his Pokémon at once ended in failure, giving Essentia the opportunity to capture them. The heroes were freed by Gurkinn, who came to help alongside Korrina and [[Diantha]]. With the {{p|Gengar}} he received from Gurkinn, X defeated Essentia, forcing her to flee under Xerosic's orders.

In ''[[PS578|Gyarados Changes]]'', Emma followed X to [[Geosenge Town]] after finding out her {{p|Espurr|Mimi}} crawled into X's [[Kanga and Li'l Kanga|Kanga]]'s pouch. They went inside the Team Flare Secret HQ, but were separated when X stepped on a [[warp panel]] and was teleported away. Emma continued on by herself, eventually reaching the underground section. There, Emma found a very tall man named [[AZ]] locked in a jail cell and befriended him. In ''[[PS580|Flabébé Blooms]]'', {{adv|Trevor}}, {{adv|Tierno}}, and {{adv|Shauna}} managed to sneak inside the Secret HQ. After Emma introduced everyone to each other, Tierno freed AZ from his cell. The group headed towards the [[ultimate weapon]]'s control room, where they found that X failed to defeat [[Lysandre]], but was able to free Xerneas. Trevor, Tierno, and Shauna tried removing the ultimate weapon's key, but couldn't pull it out in time before it fired. To Lysandre's frustration, the combined efforts of X, his friends, and the [[Kalos]] [[Gym Leader]]s successfully weakened the ultimate weapon and prevented it from taking any innocent lives.

In ''[[PS581|Rhyhorn Charges]]'', AZ let himself be captured, buying time for Xerneas and allowing it to take Emma and the others back to the surface. Xerneas joined {{adv|Y}}'s team and was [[nickname]]d Xerxer. Y ordered Xerxer to destroy the ultimate weapon, but were interrupted by [[Malva]] and her {{p|Yveltal}}. Due to Xerneas and Yveltal being evenly matched, Xerosic announced that Lysandre ordered a ceasefire. Xerneas confirmed this and retreated, taking Y and the others with it.

In ''[[PS584|Hawlucha Attacks]]'', [[Professor Sycamore]] was attacked by a group of {{p|Hawlucha}} under Essentia's command. When X's group rescued the professor, they realized the Hawlucha had a Trainer and went around to find them. Upon being found by Y, Essentia used her suit's Poké Ball Jack function to take control of Y's Xerxer. X and Y fought with their Mega-Evolved Pokémon, but the battle was interrupted by the arrival of {{adv|Zygarde}}, who aimed to suppress Xerxer's power. While Zygarde charged itself with the power of nature, it was left defenseless, giving Essentia the chance to catch it, losing control of Xerxer in the process. Essentia fled, but the repeated damage to her suit prevented Xerosic from being able to communicate or control her.

In ''[[PS590|Yveltal Steals]]'', Lysandre summoned Essentia and Zygarde to battle X, {{adv|Blue}}, and {{adv|Blaine}} at the [[Pokémon Village]]. With a remote control device designed by Xerosic, Lysandre controlled Essentia's body like a puppet instead of her usual AI and forced her to command Zygarde's attacks. While Zygarde fought {{adv|Mewtwo}}, X decided to take out Essentia to stop her from controlling it. He had [[Marisso]] attack Essentia, shattering her helmet, only to be horrified to learn it was Emma in the suit. X tried to help Emma out the suit, but she refused, noting how the suit made her feel safe and protected. When asked if defeating Team Flare would make people treat Emma better, X was left speechless.

In ''[[PS592|Zygarde Agitated]]'', X told Emma that despite how hard life is, she still has people who care about her. Hearing X's words, Emma became encouraged to fight Lysandre, but she was still under his control. Cassius arrived and destroyed the remote, freeing Emma. Before Emma could give a command to Zygarde, she was attacked by Lysandre, who took Zygarde's Poké Ball and used it to send everyone flying away. Emma and Cassius survived, but were left unable to continue fighting.

In ''[[PS593|Xerneas Gives]]'', after the defeat of Team Flare, Cassius gave X and his friends a ride back to Lumiose City. After they arrived, Emma and Cassius waved X's group goodbye as they parted ways.

|desc={{p|Trevenant}} is Essentia's first known Pokémon and was taken from a Trainer through the usage of the Poké Ball Jack function. It was used to attack [[Gurkinn]] and [[Korrina]] at the [[Tower of Mastery]]. It kept Korrina distracted while Essentia talked to Gurkinn. Due to its typing, Korrina's Mega {{TP|Korrina|Lucario}} was unable to do any damage to it. When Trevenant began covering the tower in its roots, Gurkinn and Korrina destroyed the tower to protect it from being taken by Essentia. While overseeing the plan to move {{p|Xerneas}} to Team Flare's base, Trevenant was used to patrol the forest and keep out any intruders. There, it battled X and Y and managed to defeat them both by binding them and their Pokémon with the forest's plants. After being freed, X fought Trevenant with his newly-obtained {{p|Gengar}}, Garma. By Mega Evolving Garma into Mega Gengar, Trevenant was easily defeated.

Trevenant's known moves are {{m|Horn Leech}}, {{m|Bulldoze}}, and {{m|Will-O-Wisp}}.}}

X sent out his {{p|Pinsir|Rute}}, which easily dodged the Hawlucha's moves before sending out the rest of his team to battle all the Hawlucha at once. During her battle against Y, Emma used a single Hawlucha to battle her. By throwing stones, it managed to knock Y out of the air. Without their team member, the other three Hawlucha lost their teamwork and were easily defeated by X's team.

When Essentia attempted to capture it by having Trevenant bind it with vines, Zygarde attempted to retaliate by summoning the forces of nature and absorbing them into its body. Doing so left it completely defenseless, allowing Essentia to easily capture it and escape. At the Pokémon Village, Lysandre controlled Essentia so that he may use Zygarde to battle against X, {{adv|Blue}}, and {{adv|Blaine}}. As it battled {{adv|Mewtwo}}, X had his [[Marisso]] smash Essentia's helmet in the hopes that it may sever Lysandre's connection to Zygarde. After Emma decides to fight Lysandre, he steals Zygarde's Poké Ball, allowing him to directly command it.}}

When Zygarde interrupts the battle, Essentia focuses her attention on capturing it, causing her to lose control over Xerneas entirely.}}

The '''Kalos''' region (Japanese: '''カロス{{tt|地方|ちほう}}''' ''Kalos {{tt|region|chihō}}'') is a [[region]] of the [[Pokémon world]]. It was the sixth [[core series]] region to be introduced and is the setting of {{g|X and Y}} and {{g|Legends: Z-A}}.

It is shaped like a five-pointed star, with one of its biggest cities being [[Lumiose City]] in the north-central part of the region. It features a vast network of rivers and waterways snaking through much of its landscape, cities and towns. North-east of Lumiose City lies a mountain range where more frigid temperatures exist, extending down into the plains below. Western Kalos features a vast ocean, where the shoreside city of [[Shalour City]] lies in the middle of a cove.

==Etymology and design concept==
[[File:Pokemon-to-real-world-Europe.png|thumb|left|250px|The map of Europe showing the Kalos region as northern {{wp|France}}.]]
===Etymology===
According to [[Junichi Masuda]], Kalos's name is derived from the Greek word κάλλος ''kállos'', meaning beauty.<ref name=Honedge>[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5pG-q-WIYTs Pokémon X and Pokémon Y: Honedge Revealed!] (YouTube)</ref>

===Design concept===
{{main|Pokémon world in relation to the real world#Kalos|Pokémon world in relation to the real world → Kalos}}

==History==
{{spoilers}}
===Prehistory===
3,000 years prior to {{g|X and Y}}, a war broke out between Kalos and another [[region]], which eventually caused the death of the [[AZ#Befriended|Floette]] that belonged to the king of Kalos, [[AZ]]. Determined to bring the Pokémon back to life, AZ built a machine that, using [[Infinity Energy]], ressurected his Floette. Unable to forgive those who took it from him, AZ turned the machine into the [[ultimate weapon]] and blasted the battlefield, killing many humans and Pokémon and ending the war as a result. As a side effect of the blast, both AZ and Floette were given eternal life. Horrified for what AZ has done, the Floette left him. AZ soon left Kalos and started wandering aimlessly around the {{pkmn|world}}. AZ's younger brother had wished to claim Kalos out of his own greed, but after the incident, his brother realized the error of his ways and sought to make amends for his actions by burying the weapon where [[Geosenge Town]] was built on, in an attempt to prevent it from ever being used again.

800 years prior, {{p|Xerneas}} released{{sup/6|X}}/{{p|Yveltal}} absorbed{{sup/6|Y}} life energy throughout the Kalos region upon reaching the end of its life cycle. Afterward, it withdrew into hibernation deep within a forest{{sup/6|X}}/mountain range{{sup/6|Y}}. 300 years prior, [[Parfum Palace]] was built by a king who wished to display his power to all.

===Contemporary history===
The contemporary history of Kalos differs slightly based on the title of the game being played.
===={{g|X and Y}}====
{{ga|Calem}}/{{ga|Serena}} leaves their home in [[Vaniville Town]], meeting [[Shauna]] and Serena/Calem (not chosen as [[Player character|player]]), who invite them to join the pair for a meeting in [[Aquacorde Town]]. Calem, Serena, and Shauna receive their [[first partner Pokémon]] from [[Tierno]] and a [[Pokédex]] from [[Trevor]] on behalf of [[Professor Sycamore]]. After delivering a letter to their {{kal|Grace|Mom}} from Professor Sycamore, they head on an adventure traveling across Kalos challenging [[Gym]]s in order to earn eight [[Badge]]s to then challenge the {{kal|Pokémon League}}. Over the course of their {{pkmn|journey}}, they come into contact with [[Team Flare]], an organization whose goal is to create a "beautiful and better" world while making money. They try to do this by stealing [[Fossil]]s from [[Glittering Cave]], siphoning electricity from the [[Kalos Power Plant]], stealing the [[Poké Ball]]s from the [[Poké Ball Factory]] in [[Laverre City]], and attempting to agitate and capture an {{p|Abomasnow}}. Calem/Serena also encounters a mysterious giant called [[AZ]] on several occasions, initially on [[Kalos Route 13]]. After earning their seventh Badge from [[Olympia]], Calem/Serena is contacted by [[Lysandre]], a man introduced by Professor Sycamore, who reveals both himself as the leader of Team Flare, and his intention to use the "[[ultimate weapon]]" to eliminate all life in the world except for those in Team Flare. Calem/Serena battle Lysandre, first in [[Lysandre Labs]], and again in the [[Team Flare Secret HQ]], before making their way down to the basement where they find {{p|Xerneas}}{{sup/6|X}}/{{p|Yveltal}}{{sup/6|Y}} and battle them, before battling against Lysandre once more. Even though Lysandre is defeated, and Calem/Serena and their friends reason with him, he still fires the ultimate weapon. The blast the weapon emits destroys it and buries Lysandre and the HQ, ultimately disbanding Team Flare. Calem/Serena then heads to the Pokémon League where they defeat the [[Elite Four]] and [[Diantha]], becoming {{pkmn|Champion}} of Kalos. Professor Sycamore then holds a grand ceremony in Kalos to celebrate Calem/Serena's victory, and all of their friends' efforts in defeating [[Team Flare]]. During the ceremony, a large mysterious man challenges Calem/Serena to a battle and is defeated, but is grateful to them, for in the battle, he finally felt free from the sorrow and rage he felt in creating the ultimate weapon. As such, the man is revealed to be the ancient king [[AZ]], and having once again become the man who loved Pokémon with all his heart, his long lost partner {{p|Floette}} returns to him, resulting in a tearful reunion.

After the ceremony, Calem/Serena is invited to [[Kiloude City]] to partake in its [[Battle Maison]], and is given a train pass for it by Professor Sycamore. After partaking in a few battles there, they are informed by Professor Sycamore that the Anistar sundial can radiate special energy, and their [[Mega Ring]] is upgraded to be able to locate Mega Stones hidden across Kalos during twilight. Calem/Serena then returns to [[Lumiose City]], where they are contacted by [[Looker]], who has a series of cases he wants them to investigate. Calem/Serena takes part in a series of trials across Lumiose and become's Looker's second-in-command. During the investigations, Calem/Serena and Looker meet an orphan girl named [[Emma]] and her {{p|Espurr}} named Mimi, who are living in the alleys of Lumiose. Eventually, Looker offers to let Emma live in the {{DL|North Boulevard|Looker Bureau}}. However, soon after, a mysterious figure vandalizes the [[Lumiose Museum]] and also lures Trainers in to steal their Pokémon. Upon investigating these cases, and through the help of [[Malva]], they learn that the crimes are being committed by [[Essentia]], who is actually Emma in a suit that enhances her power, but she is unconscious in doing this: she is actually being controlled by [[Xerosic]]. Calem/Serena and Looker track Xerosic down to a secret floor in Lysandre Labs, and manage to defeat Essentia in a series of battles. Looker captures Xerosic, and takes him away, and parts ways with Calem/Serena and Emma, and despite the latter's hesitance, Looker reassures her that their bonds will always be strong no matter how far apart they are.

====Between X and Y and Legends: Z-A====
[[AZ]] became the owner of [[Hotel Z]]. [[Quasartico Inc.]] was also based on [[Lumiose City]] and began an urban redevelopment plan for it to turn the city into a place where [[human]]s and {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} can live together in harmony.

===={{g|Legends: Z-A}}====
{{ga|Paxton}}/{{ga|Harmony}} visited [[Lumiose City]].

==Geography==
[[File:Gloire City Castle.png|thumb|250px|left|One of the region's many castles in {{aniseries|XY}}]]
[[File:Kalos Pokédex map.png|thumb|250px|right|Map of the Kalos region, with its three primary divisions highlighted]]
The geography of Kalos varies greatly within the region. The region is naturally bordered by a vast ocean to the west and northwest, and the eastern and southern borders are formed by mountain ranges. These borders give the region its signature star-like shape, as a large peninsula reaches out to the sea in the northwest, creating one point, and elsewhere the coastline, mountain ranges and rivers create the remaining four points. Kalos is made up of three distinct divisions, all with their own unique characteristics in both geography and Pokémon: Central Kalos, Coastal Kalos, and Mountain Kalos. The bustling [[Lumiose City]] is located near the point where all three divisions meet.

Central Kalos is located in the centric and southern parts of the region. The area is dominated by large forested plains with multiple rivers crossing it, with very few changes in elevation. Several towns are surrounded by walls of some sort, and there are also many old castles and {{wp|château}}s. Many important human settlements and landmarks are located here, such as [[Vaniville Town]], [[Santalune City]], a portion of Lumiose City, and the [[Parfum Palace]].

Coastal Kalos is located by the vast sea in the western parts of Kalos. The mainly explored area is a strip between mountains and the sea. This area is dominated by rocky shores in the southwest and lush beaches and forests in the northwest. Most human settlements are located by the sea. The peninsula in the northwest is known for its {{wp|menhir}} stones. There are many important locations, such as the [[Reflection Cave]], [[Geosenge Town]], and [[Shalour City]] with its [[Tower of Mastery]].

Mountain Kalos is located in the eastern reaches of the region. The area is largely mountainous and the temperatures tend to be cooler than in the other parts, with some routes and settlements having snow covering them. To the north there is a marshy area that is said to be haunted. However, the settlements are plentiful, and there are some important landmarks, such as the [[Kalos Power Plant]] that is built on a harsh wasteland, the [[Poké Ball Factory]] in [[Laverre City]], and the {{kal|Pokémon League}}.

[[Kiloude City]] is located outside the three divisions, and is only reachable by train from Lumiose City. The city is relatively isolated from the other parts of the region, being completely surrounded by mountains.
{{-}}

===Demographics===
The Kalos region has a total population of 1288 including all the towns, cities, routes, and areas. Upon its introduction in [[Generation VI]], it was the largest region by population. Currently it is second largest region by population 

===Notable locations===
Kalos has sixteen cities and towns, and a Pokémon League.

Like in Unova, the routes of Kalos start counting again from 1, likely to represent its geographical isolation from the previously introduced regions. There are 22 routes in total.

In {{aniseries|PTS}}, like Unova, Kalos was far enough away from Kanto, Johto, Hoenn, and Sinnoh to require traveling via airplane (as evidenced by how {{Ash}} and [[Alexa]] arrived in the region, as well as how Ash and Serena left the region for Kanto and Hoenn, respectively).

==Trivia==
* The English and Japanese names of cities and towns in Kalos are derived from various ingredients used in fragrances. Likewise, the names in the European versions are derived from various terminologies related to art.
* Kalos is the only [[region]] in which:
** All Gym Leaders and Elite Four members use teams consisting entirely of Pokémon of the type they use.
** All Routes have alternate names.
** There is more than one status-healing local specialty food item: the [[Lumiose Galette]] and the [[Shalour Sable]], although the latter cannot be obtained in {{g|X and Y}} without trading.
* The Kalos region has the largest regional [[Pokédex]] of all regions.
* Kalos has the largest population of any region, with 1,288 inhabitants living in its cities, towns, and other areas.
* The {{wp|Demonym|adjectival form}} of Kalos is "Kalosian", as seen in [[Kiloude City]]'s map description.
* The Kalos region is shaped like a pentagon, a design also reflected in the Kalos Pokédex. This may be a nod to how France is often referred to as "L'Hexagone" due to its roughly hexagonal shape.

[[File:Mable Frost Cavern XY.png|thumb|250px|Mable tormenting the Abomasnow in the Frost Cavern]]
===={{g|X and Y}}====
;[[Frost Cavern]]
* First meeting
:''"This {{p|Abomasnow}} is a fine specimen! It's absolutely brimming with energy. The more we agitate it, the stronger its {{a|Snow Warning}} Ability becomes, making the snow fall even more furiously. Let's catch it swiftly and get out of here."''
:''"What does it look like? We're catching Pokémon. Why else would we have grabbed all of those [[Poké Ball]]s? It was all so we could catch powerful Pokémon like this Abomasnow. It's full of potent energy!"''
:''"You're not the brightest one, are you? Whoever has the most Pokémon and the most energy will come out on top! Lazy people who just wait for things to be handed to them don't get to have these resources!"''
:''"Allow me to spell it out for you! It's so Team Flare--and only Team Flare--can survive! After all, why should we care about saving people who aren't on our side? Anyway, I don't mind a healthy curiosity, but I'm afraid I just don't have any more time for you."''
:''"You two--hurry up and send these kids packing!"''

* Before battle
:''"Hmm... You're more powerful than you look. I wonder how much energy there is inside you."''

* Being defeated
:''"Not just strong... TOO strong! Not ordinary, indeed..."''

* After being defeated
:''"Hrmph! I've no patience for losing. Let's get out of here!"''

;[[Lysandre Labs]]
* Before battle
:''"Oh, oh, oh, oh? You're that kid from the Frost Cavern... On your lonesome this time?"''
::'''Yes:''' ''"Oooh, that's cold! Colder than that cavern! ♪ Your Pokémon don't even count for anything?''
::'''No:''' ''"Oh! Well, of course you're not! You have your Pokémon, huh?''
:::'''Either way:''' ''We gather data all about the Trainers in the region through the [[Holo Caster]], so we know all about you guys. And you know how the [[Mega Ring]] is used to awaken a Pokémon's power, right? Just like how the [[ultimate weapon]] can max out a Pokémon's power. Heheh... Looks like you and me are practically after the same thing, yeah?"''

* Being defeated
:''"Oooh, you are strong! You and your Pokémon are most certainly not ordinary!"''

* After being defeated
:''"Ding-ding-ding! Yup, you did it! To the victor goes the spoils! Here! An [[Elevator Key|elevator key]] for you!"''
:''"The power of the {{p|Xerneas|Legendary}} {{p|Yveltal|Pokémon}}... The power to grant life to all around it...{{sup/6|X}}/The power to steal life from all around it...{{sup/6|Y}} It's a mysterious ability that even scientists like us haven't been able to really decode. What d'you think will happen to the world if we fuel the ultimate weapon with something like that?"''

===''Pokémon the Series''===
====History====
In the past, Mable, alongside [[Lysandre]] and the other [[Team Flare]] Scientists, would help those in need, until Lysandre became disillusioned with the [[human]] race and sought to restart the world.

Mable debuted in ''[[XY094|From A to Z!]]''. She was first seen leading a group of {{tc|Team Flare Grunt}}s in [[Terminus Cave]], where they attempted to capture {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Zygarde|50%}} {{p|Zygarde}}. However, all of their Pokémon's combined attacks didn't even phase the [[Legendary Pokémon]], which used {{m|Land's Wrath}} on the [[villainous team]] members before disappearing. Mable was later seen informing Lysandre and [[Xerosic]] of the failure of her mission.

Mable briefly appeared in ''[[XY102|Meeting at Terminus Cave!]]'' in a video call with Xerosic, where she and [[Aliana]] were ordered to head to [[Z2]] after Team Flare discovered its location thanks to their sensors.
[[File:Team Flare Scientists Young.png|thumb|left|250px|A younger Mable (far left)]]
In ''[[XY107|An Explosive Operation!]]'', she, Aliana, and several Team Flare Grunts were trying to capture Z2. She managed to hit Z2 with a beam from her specialized gun, preventing Z2 from camouflaging itself. When she and Aliana ordered their Pokémon, {{p|Weavile}} and {{p|Druddigon}}, to attack Z2, it transformed into its {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Zygarde|10% Forme}} and used its powerful attacks to defeat Team Flare and managed to escape. She and Aliana caught up to it, only to face {{TRT}}, who wanted Z2 for themselves. Due to Team Rocket's intervention, Z2 managed to escape once again. Team Flare, however, quickly found them and a battle between both teams took place. After a prolonged struggle, Team Flare emerged victorious and managed to corner Z2. This, however, triggered Z2 to transform to its 50% Forme and it easily blew Mable and the others back. As Z2 was about to finish them off, [[Alain]] and his {{TP|Alain|Charizard}} interfered and battled Z2 to buy her and Aliana time. While Z2 was battling, she and Aliana surprised it by shooting it with their laser guns, finally bringing it down and captured it, completing their mission.

During Team Flare's attack on [[Lumiose City]], Mable had been ordered to stay at [[Lysandre Labs]]. In ''[[XY133|Coming Apart at the Dreams!]]'', she and Celosia saw a helicopter containing {{an|Serena}}, [[Mairin]], [[Professor Sycamore]], and Team Rocket nearing Lysandre Labs through their security cameras. In [[XY134|the following episode]], Mable tried taking down the helicopter with her Weavile, but she was attacked by {{Steven}} and his {{TP|Steven|Metagross}}. She and several Team Flare Grunts then faced Steven in battle, but were presumably defeated. In ''[[XY135|Rocking Kalos Defenses!]]'', Mable joined Celosia in her battle against Team Rocket. However, the two Scientists were quickly defeated and subdued.

When Z2 transformed to its {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Zygarde|10% Forme}}, it was easily beaten back. It was later used twice against {{TRT}} to try to retrieve Z2. While it failed to defeat their Pokémon the first time it succeeded the second time and managed to corner Z2. It, however, was blown back once more when Z2 transformed to its {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Zygarde|50% Forme}}. After Z2 was brought down, Weavile and Druddigon were used to blast Team Rocket off.

In ''[[XY134|The Right Hero for the Right Job!]]'', Mable used Weavile to attack the helicopter that {{an|Serena}}, Team Rocket, [[Mairin]], and [[Professor Sycamore]] were using to approach [[Lysandre Labs]]. After the arrvial of {{Steven}}, Weavile and several Team Grunt's Pokémon battled [[Steven's Metagross]], but were presumably defeated. Weavile appeared again in [[XY135|the next episode]], where it aided [[Celosia]]'s {{p|Drapion}} in its battle against Team Rocket. After its and Drapion's attacks were countered by [[Jessie's Wobbuffet]]'s {{m|Mirror Coat}}, the two Pokemon and their Trainer's were subdued by Team Rocket's net.

Weavile's known moves are {{m|Metal Claw}}, {{m|Ice Beam}}, {{m|Icy Wind}}, and {{m|Ice Shard}}.}}

===Pokémon Adventures===
[[File:Team Flare Scientists Adventures.png|thumb|right|300px|Mable in Pokémon Adventures]]
Mable debuted in ''[[PS550|X-actly What They Wanted]]''. She, [[Aliana]], and a group of {{tc|Team Flare Grunt}}s traveled to [[Vaniville Town]] to steal {{adv|X}}'s [[Mega Ring]]. While protecting her {{pkmn|Trainer}} from the two scientists, X's [[Kanga and Li'l Kanga|Kanga]] was injured. This angered Kanga's baby, Li'l Kanga, who reacted to the Mega Ring and [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolved]] into Mega Kangaskhan and easily drove the villains off.

In ''[[PS551|Inn-teresting Developments]]'', X's friends stayed at an [[Aquacorde Town]] inn while he slept in the tent on {{adv|Y}}'s {{p|Rhyhorn}}'s back. The inn was a trap designed to keep Y and the others inside while Mable and Aliana tried to steal Li'l Kanga when X wasn't looking. Y broke out and informed X of the situation, but when he tried to Mega Evolve Li'l Kanga again, it failed. With no other options, X and Y teamed up with [[Marisso|Chespin]] and [[Croaky|Froakie]] to defeat the scientists. X had Chespin pin Mable and Aliana to a tree with {{m|Pin Missile}}, preventing them from chasing the Vaniville children as they fled to a nearby forest.

In ''[[PS555|The Aegislash Agenda]]'', Mable and Aliana met with [[Bryony]] and [[Xerosic]] at the [[Team Flare Secret HQ]]. They were informed that their repeat failures have led to [[Celosia]] taking over their duties.

In ''[[PS578|Gyarados Changes]]'', Mable and the other female scientists witnessed X trying to break into the Secret HQ. Noting Celosia hadn't slept since she brought [[Xerxer|Xerneas]] back to base, Mable and Aliana offered to stop X in her place, only for Bryony to tell them to return to their stations. Later, after the [[ultimate weapon]] was stopped by X and his friends, Mable and Aliana helped Bryony up after she was defeated by Y and her newly caught Xerxer.

In ''[[PS589|Charizard Transforms]]'', Mable and the other female scientists each intercepted Y and her friends to prevent them from reaching the [[Pokémon Village]]. Mable picked {{adv|Tierno}} as her opponent. Although Mable proved to be powerful, she was defeated when Tierno's {{p|Corphish}} evolved into {{p|Crawdaunt}}, giving it the power to take down Mable and her {{p|Houndoom}} at the same time.

At Aquacorde Town, she was used to try and capture X's Li'l Kanga. While X and [[Marisso|Chespin]] fought Aliana and her {{p|Diggersby}}, [[Croaky|Froakie]] fought Houndoom. Later, she was used to fight Tierno's {{p|Corphish}} on the route to Pokémon Village. After Corphish evolved into a {{p|Crawdaunt}}, it defeated both Houndoom and her Trainer with a powerful {{m|Guillotine}}.

Houndoom's known moves are {{m|Flamethrower}} and {{m|Inferno}}.}}

Talk:Blueberry Academy

2024-07-24T02:02:43Z

Benpiano800: /* Artwork or models of characters? */

==Infobox==
I understand the desire to give Blueberry Academy an infobox to parallel Naranja and Uva Academies' infoboxes, but given the lack of information we have about Blueberry Academy's geographic location, the infobox doesn't seem very helpful. A map of the school doesn't tell me where it is in Unova, nor does saying it's in the ocean. In addition, when comparing the infobox directly to the other schools' infoboxes, it looks odd that Uva and Naranja Academy have images of the front of the school while Blueberry Academy just has some key art. I'm open to hearing arguments in defense of the infobox, but at the moment, I don't think that it's a positive addition to this page and I would like to see it removed. [[User:Storm Aurora|'''Storm Aurora''']] ([[User talk:Storm Aurora|talk]]) 18:31, 4 January 2024 (UTC)

:I understand your point, and i'm also trying to get a good photo of the school's front, besides, even though we the map does not show where in Unova it is located in, it does give off a really good of where the school as a whole is, including the entrace and Terarium under it. [[User:Trainersurrel0409|Trainersurrel0409]] ([[User talk:Trainersurrel0409|talk]]) 18:40, 4 January 2024 (UTC)
::I kinda do like the consistency of having an infobox on this page as well. Since the map has been supressed, that issue is solved, but maybe we could use an image similar to [https://oyster.ignimgs.com/mediawiki/apis.ign.com/pokemon-scarlet-violet/8/84/Welcome_Blueberry_Academy_7.png?width=640 this] for the infobox? We should be able to get similar assets for [https://www.serebii.net/pokearth/maps/paldea/25.jpg Naranja] and Uva Academy as well. → [[User:SuperPikaPool13|Pika]][[User talk:SuperPikaPool13|Tepig]][[Special:Contribs/SuperPikaPool13|999]] 21:56, 4 January 2024 (UTC)

:::I'm not sure about that image though, maybe it'd be better put in some other part of the page, i feel like the infobox's image should be a presentation to the building, so i think a picture of the academy's entrace would suit it better.

::::I disagree. The entrance shows very little of the academy considering most of it is located under the entrance.

:::::Yes, i understand that, i just think that instead of having it in the infobox, have the map of the Blueberry Academy somewhere in the page as i still think it's better have the academy's entrace in the infobox, just like in the Naranja and Uva Academy's pages.

::::::The infobox looks much better with the region map suppressed, so I'm OK with keeping it now. As far as the image used in it, I [https://www.destructoid.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/A4.jpg compared] [https://img.gamewith.jp/img/d24f0cf79c5ca3b6c9580194e3aaa0e4.png screenshots] of the Naranja and Uva Academy layouts, and they appear to be the same regardless of the version. The only difference is the background color of the menu that lists all the locations in the school, but I wouldn't want to include that menu in the infobox image. So I think each academy having a screenshot of the front works best. If the image is taken from the side of the battle court furthest from the entrance, I think it'd be a satisfactory introductory image to the school.

== Artwork or models of characters? ==

Currently, the article shows in-game models of most of the characters associated with Blueberry Academy. Should it use artwork instead, for consistency with the article on [[The Indigo Disk]]? [[User:Benpiano800|Benpiano800]] ([[User talk:Benpiano800|talk]]) 02:02, 24 July 2024 (UTC)

Benpiano800: /* between sinnoh and kanto */

== Could Kitakami be close by Johto and Kanto? ==
I think this thought came along mainly due to the return of a Japanese setting. But also due to a majority of pokémon found being originally from the two regions. Namely Ekans, Koffing, Geodude, Sandshrew, Vulpix Slugma, Johtonian Wooper, etc.

Mainly a guess though {{unsigned|WhaddonCraig}}
:It seems to be mainly based on northern Japan, so kind of but not really. [[User:Anzasquiddles|'''Anzasquiddles''']] 2222(:D)SSSS ([[User_talk:Anzasquiddles|talk page]]) 12:47, 29 September 2023 (UTC)

== Is Kitakami a new region? ==

Looking at the way Kitakami was presented in the Pokemon Presents (8.8.2023), it sounds like it may be a new [[region]] rather than just an expansion (like the [[Isle of Armor]] and [[Crown Tundra]] were). They describe the DLC as "extend[ing] beyond the Paldea region" to a new land, and the cultural vibe seems more Japanese than Iberian. The "school trip" piece also reminds me of the anime trip from Alola to Kanto, so I don't think we can assume that having a joint school trip implies that the two academies are in the same region. Should we assume (until it's clarified) that Kitakami is a new region? [[User:Butterfreeism|'''–Butterfreeism''']] ([[User talk:Butterfreeism|talk]]) 20:57, 8 August 2023 (UTC)

::Yeah, I'm unsure about the article calling Kitakami a "region" when the map seemingly goes out of its way to call it the "land" of Kitakami.

== Kitakami: Return to Japan ==

There seems to be very strong evidence to show that Kitakami is an area inspired by Japan. It seems that since Gen IV, the mainline series has returned back to Japan.
--> Clothes: They are wearing a Jimbe
--> Architecture: The houses resemble the houses found in Japan, particularly Okinawa/some island.
--> Culture: They are celebrating at a Matsuri, the shrine hosts statue with red bibs that look exactly like the foxes guarding the inari gates...

The mini float for the Aomori Nebuta was displayed at this year's Pokemon World Championships in Yokohama to promote the Teal Mask.

Kitakami has many similarities to '''both''' Sinnoh and Kanto. White Striped Basculin and Basculegion can only be found in the wild in Hisui,Sinnoh of the past, and Kitakami. Kitakami is also named after a real place in Japan, and guess which other region is named after a real Japanese place. If you said Kanto, you were right!

Unova

The '''Unova''' region (Japanese: '''イッシュ{{tt|地方|ちほう}}''' ''Isshu {{tt|region|chihō}}'') is a [[region]] of the [[Pokémon world]]. It is the setting of {{game|Black and White|s}} and [[Pokémon Black and White Versions 2|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2]], while a school in Unova called [[Blueberry Academy]] was introduced as the setting of [[The Indigo Disk]] [[The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero|expansion]] of [[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet]]. It was the fifth [[core series]] region to be introduced.

Unova is stated to be far away from [[Kanto]], [[Johto]], [[Hoenn]], and [[Sinnoh]]; the Pokémon which inhabit Unova are diverse and different from those of other regions. According to [[Junichi Masuda]], the geographical and social background for Unova draws inspiration from the {{wp|New York City metropolitan area}}.<ref>[http://www.gamefreak.co.jp/blog/dir_english/?p=242 Hidden Power of Masuda: Director's Columns]</ref><ref>"This new region was inspired by New York's Manhattan. I visited New York when Diamond and Pearl launched and I had the chance to wander around the town. When I walked through the streets, I saw a lot of different people having festivals and community events—Italian people, French people—they're coming from different countries and coexisting in one community", [[Junichi Masuda]], [[Official Nintendo Magazine]] Issue 65 page 30.</ref> Although it is geographically based on New York City, it draws inspiration for its landmarks from the entire state of New York, which features a mixture of rural locations and urban areas as well as factory towns and industrial complexes. The region also has several cultural references to the country where this state is located, the {{wp|United States of America}}.

==Etymology and design concept==
===Etymology===
Unova's Japanese name, イッシュ ''Isshu'', is derived from the Japanese word for "one variety", '''一種''' ''isshu'', or '''１種類''' ''isshurui''. According to the game director Masuda, this is to express that although the region is diverse in species and race, they are all the same as living creatures when seen from a distance.<ref name=Iwata>Iwata Asks - Pokémon Black and Pokémon White Versions - Page 2 ([https://iwataasks.nintendo.com/interviews/ds/pokemon-black-white/0/1/ English], [http://www.nintendo.co.jp/ds/interview/irbj/vol1/index2.html Japanese])</ref>

The region's English name likely comes from the Spanish word ''uno'' or the Latin word ''unum'' (one), or the English word ''united'' (as in the United States), and the Latin word ''nova'' (new). The name also sounds like parts of the phrase "'''Un'''ited States '''of''' '''A'''merica".

===Design concept===
{{main|Pokémon world in relation to the real world#Unova|Pokémon world in relation to the real world → Unova}}
[[File:Pokemon-to-real-world-North America.png|thumb|left|250px|The map of {{wp|North America}} showing the Unova region as the {{wp|New York metropolitan area}}.]]
Although some of Unova is geographically based on New York, the creators of the region took some liberties in regards to the surrounding areas. One of the largest cities in Unova, [[Castelia City]], is based on {{wp|Lower Manhattan}}, but to the immediate north of Castelia is (as opposed to a continuing metropolis as in real life) a [[Desert Resort|vast desert]]. [[Nimbasa City]], which is to the north of Castelia City, could be a reference to {{wp|Broadway (New York City)|Broadway}}, which is located in Manhattan. [[Nacrene City]], with its restored storehouses, is reminiscent of the ubiquitous lofts in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. The division of Unova may also be a reference to the {{wp|Borough (New York City)|Boroughs of New York City}}. The [[Skyarrow Bridge]] is a reference to the {{wp|Brooklyn Bridge}}, which connects Brooklyn and Manhattan. The [[Battle Subway]] is a reference to the {{wp|New York City Subway}}, which is the most extensive public transit system in the world, as well as one of the oldest.

==History==
[[File:Unova world map.png|250px|thumb|Location of Unova in the [[Pokémon world]], according to the anime]]
===Dated history===
* 3,000 years prior to the events of Pokémon Black and White, the {{cat|Relic items}} were created.
* 2,500 years prior to the events of Pokémon Black and White, the [[Relic Castle]] was flourishing and the {{p|Darmanitan}} in front of it went to {{status|sleep}}.
* 200 years prior to the events of Pokémon Black and White, an ultra-rich family purchased and named the [[Liberty Garden]].
* 200 years prior to the events of Pokémon Black and White, [[Village Bridge]] was constructed after the local river burst its banks, flooding the settlement that stood there previously.
* 100 years prior to the events of Pokémon Black and White, the warehouses of [[Nacrene City]] were constructed.
* 100 years prior to the events of Pokémon Black and White, {{p|Klink}} started appearing in [[Chargestone Cave]].
* 50 years prior to the events of Pokémon Black and White, {{p|Elgyem}} was seen for the first time when it appeared from far in the [[desert]].

===Undated history===
* "Thousands of years ago"
** In mythology, Unova was created by uniting the warring peoples of the land by [[Heroes of Truth and Ideals|twin heroes]] using [[List of disputed and unidentified Pokémon#Original Dragon|a single powerful dragon]], however, the brothers started to argue over their beliefs; the elder brother sought truth and the younger brother sought ideals. Their arguments somehow split the single dragon into {{p|Reshiram}}, who sided with the older brother, and {{p|Zekrom}}, who sided with the younger brother. Since they were both born from the same dragon neither could defeat the other and the brothers declared that there was no right side. However, eventually their sons continued the fight and both the dragons started to battle again, destroying the Unova region with their {{t|fire}} and {{t|Electric|lightning}} powers before disappearing.
** Sometime after the original dragon had been split into Reshiram and Zekrom, one of the two brothers and their respective dragon created the Relic Castle, which was the seat of a new civilization for people and Pokémon.
* At some point in the distant past, a civil war broke out in Unova that caused an intense forest fire. The many Pokémon that lived in the forest became trapped, though luckily the [[Swords of Justice]] came in to save them—{{p|Terrakion}} moved away boulders that blocked their escape route, {{p|Virizion}} used its nimble movements to protect Pokémon from looming flames, and {{p|Cobalion}} led the scared Pokémon out of the forest. These Pokémon would later become responsible for ending the war before disappearing into myths. However, the forest was still burned to the ground in the end, resulting in the trio finding a lone Pokémon; {{p|Keldeo}}, that they decided took in as their own.
* A legend says that in the past, {{p|Thundurus}} and {{p|Tornadus}} once raced across Unova, tearing up the lands with their respective weather-controlling powers, not caring about settlements and creatures in their path. {{p|Landorus}}, seeing the massive destruction the pair had brought to the region and its inhabitants, is said to have punished them so that they would never repeat their actions.
* It's said that {{p|Meloetta}} once entertained the people of Unova with song and dance, but when sorrow filled the hearts of people, Meloetta lost both this melody and its red shoes.

===Contemporary history===
{{spoilers}}
====Pokémon Black and White====
In contemporary history, a present containing three [[first partner Pokémon]]—one each for [[Cheren]], [[Bianca]], and {{ga|Hilda}}/{{ga|Hilbert}}—was sent to Hilda/Hilbert's house in [[Nuvema Town]] by [[Professor Juniper]] on their mothers' request, so that they could each start their Pokémon journeys through the Unova region, challenging each of Unova's eight Gyms in order to collect Badges and eventually reach the {{un|Pokémon League}}. During their travels, Hilda/Hilbert met and battled with the members of [[Team Plasma]] many times, including their king, [[N]], and encountered the mysterious [[Shadow Triad]], with events coming to a head at [[Dragonspiral Tower]], where N managed to capture one of the members of the [[Tao trio]] and invited Hilda/Hilbert to face him after they had beaten the Pokémon League and resurrected the complementary dragon from the [[Light Stone]]{{sup/5|B}}/[[Dark Stone]]{{sup/5|W}}. On retrieving the appropriate stone from [[Nacrene Museum]] and defeating the [[Elite Four]], Hilda/Hilbert reached the Champion's room, where N was waiting for them, having just defeated [[Alder|the Champion]]. N then summoned [[N's Castle|his castle]], which rose out of the earth surrounding the Pokémon League; Team Plasma had been working tirelessly for years prior to build the fortress around the Pokémon League right under their nose, overworking the Pokémon gifted to them by Trainers they had emotionally manipulated into doing so for this purpose. N then invites Hilda/Hilbert into the castle to battle him in order to test the strength of their convictions.

On entering the castle, Hilda/Hilbert are ambushed by all of the [[Seven Sages]] (except [[Ghetsis]]), who planned to defeat them so that their king's reign would be unopposed. Fortunately, Bianca arrived, bringing all the [[Gym Leader]]s of the region that she was able find with her (which includes all of them except for [[Chili]], [[Cress]], and [[Cilan]], whom Bianca claimed she could not contact in time). The Gym Leaders then opted to engage the Seven Sages in battle on Hilda/Hilbert's behalf, so that they were able to ascend through the castle and defeat N. Eventually, Hilda/Hilbert reached Team Plasma's King in the throne room, where N summoned his member of the Tao trio, who subsequently came crashing through the farthest wall of the room. The presence of Reshiram{{sup/5|W}}/Zekrom{{sup/5|B}} then activated the player's dormant stone, which emerged from the [[Bag]] and transformed into its counterpart, Zekrom{{sup/5|W}}/Reshiram{{sup/5|B}}. The latter then allowed Hilda/Hilbert to attempt to capture them and after doing so, Hilda/Hilbert proceeded to defeat N in the ensuing battle.

N's loss to his opponent caused Ghetsis to storm into the room in rage, insisting that N was a complete failure and a freak and revealing his true motivation for Team Plasma. By separating all other Pokémon from their Trainers, while Team Plasma retained their own, he, as leader of the group (acting through N), would have been left in a position of power from which he could have dominated the world. However, his delusions of grandeur were cut short by his defeat in a final Pokémon battle at the hands of Hilda/Hilbert followed by his arrest.

N, however, was not arrested and subsequently flew from the land on Reshiram{{sup/5|W}}/Zekrom{{sup/5|B}} in order to do some soul searching in light of Ghetsis's revelations. He was not seen again in Unova, but there is a rumor that someone with a strong resemblance to N was spotted somewhere in a far-off region. Hilda/Hilbert then continued the rest of their journey, managing to also cover eastern Unova, (becoming the first person to successfully operate the [[Poké Transfer]]), locate and aid in the arrest of the remaining Seven Sages, and eventually return to the League to defeat the Pokémon League Champion Alder themselves. Afterwards, after some time reflecting, Bianca decides to become an assistant to Professor Juniper to aid in her research, and Hilda/Hilbert leaves Unova to search for N.

====Between Pokémon Black and White and Pokémon Black 2 and White 2====
During the two years between the events of Pokémon Black and White and Pokémon Black 2 and White 2, construction of [[Unova Route 4|the road]] between [[Castelia City]] and [[Nimbasa City]] through the [[desert]] was either completed and a small settlement was established on this road{{sup/5|B2}}, or abandoned after ancient ruins were discovered in the sand and excavated{{sup/5|W2}}. The [[gate]] between {{rt|4|Unova}} and Nimbasa City was expanded into [[Join Avenue]]. The construction in the south of [[Driftveil City]] was completed, with the [[Pokémon World Tournament]] taking the place of the [[Cold Storage]]. The [[Entralink]]'s moat was drained or dried up, and a different type of Entree now grows in the center. A section was taken out of a [[Reversal Mountain|mountain]] to the east, with [[Lentimas Town]] built in the new space.

Significant construction occurred in [[Undella Town]], with {{tc|the Riches}} moving away (except for the father) and their house being demolished; in its place, many new villas were built. In this construction effort, the mountain was dug away to the point where construction workers dug an entrance into [[Reversal Mountain]]. In addition, the [[Marine Tube]] was constructed between Undella Town and [[Humilau City]].

Furthermore, {{OBP|Victory Road|Black and White}} has collapsed. As a result, {{rt|10|Unova}} is closed and replaced by another path, {{rt|22|Unova}} and {{rt|23|Unova}}. Also, the entrance to [[Challenger's Cave]] has collapsed.

Additionally, the coastline of Unova has changed between the games.

As revealed via [[Memory Link]], Ghetsis reforms Team Plasma during this period.

====Pokémon Black 2 and White 2====
{{ga|Nate}}/{{ga|Rosa}} receives their first Pokémon from Bianca in their hometown of [[Aspertia City]]. Together with [[Hugh]], who hopes to take back his sister's {{p|Purrloin}} from [[Team Plasma]], the duo takes on the new lineup of Gyms in the Unova region. After Nate/Rosa earns the {{badge|Legend}} from [[Drayden]], Team Plasma attacks [[Opelucid City]], covering the city in unbreakable ice. The [[Shadow Triad]] takes the opportunity to steal the [[DNA Splicers]] from [[Opelucid Gym]]. Nate/Rosa and Hugh chase Team Plasma to [[Humilau City]], where after earning their final badge, the {{badge|Wave}}, they confront [[Zinzolin]], [[Colress]], and the Shadow Triad at the [[Giant Chasm]]. After the Triad releases Hugh's sister's Purrloin, now a {{p|Liepard}}, Hugh tells Nate/Rosa to go ahead and confront Team Plasma's leader, [[Ghetsis]].

Just before Ghetsis freezes Nate/Rosa alive with {{p|Kyurem}}'s {{m|Glaciate}}, [[N]] flies in on {{p|Reshiram}}/{{p|Zekrom}}, saving them. However, Ghetsis uses Kyurem's power to turn Reshiram/Zekrom back into an orb, then uses the DNA Splicers to fuse it with Kyurem, turning it into [[List of Pokémon with form differences#Kyurem|Black]]{{sup/5|B2}}/[[List of Pokémon with form differences#Kyurem|White]]{{sup/5|W2}} Kyurem. Nate/Rosa knocks out Kyurem, causing the two {{type|Dragon}} Pokémon to separate, then defeats an enraged Ghetsis. Thankful, N suggests that Nate/Rosa proceed to the {{un|Pokémon League}}. Heeding his words, Nate/Rosa ascend {{OBP|Victory Road|Black 2 and White 2}}, defeats the Elite Four, and emerges victorious in battle with the new {{pkmn|Champion}}, [[Iris]].

After returning home, Hugh's sister thanks the player for helping her big brother, and tells Nate/Rosa that she has been dreaming of a {{p|Zoroark}} calling Nate/Rosa's name. At Hugh's suggestion, Nate/Rosa returns to Victory Road, finding a Zoroark that leads them to the ruins of [[N's Castle]], where N and Reshiram/Zekrom challenge them to battle. After being defeated, N says goodbye to his dragon and releases it by asking it to turn back into an orb to give to Nate/Rosa. Nate/Rosa climbs to the top of [[Dragonspiral Tower]], and faces Reshiram{{sup/5|W2}}/Zekrom{{sup/5|B2}} again, this time, in an attempt to capture it. After this is done, N returns and tells the player that Kyurem has reawakened. With this, Nate/Rosa heads to the Giant Chasm again, catches Kyurem in its normal form, and recovers the lost DNA Splicers.

====Between Pokémon Black 2 and White 2 and Pokémon Scarlet and Violet====
[[Blueberry Academy]] was established by [[Cyrano]], located underwater off the coast of Unova, and formed close ties with the historic [[Naranja Academy]]{{sup/9|S}}/[[Uva Academy]]{{sup/9|V}} in [[Paldea]] by becoming its sister school.

====Pokémon Scarlet and Violet====
=====The Teal Mask=====
An annual school trip is held by the two sister schools. Four students of [[Paldea]]'s Naranja Academy{{sup/9|S}}/Uva Academy{{sup/9|V}}, which includes {{ga|Florian}}/{{ga|Juliana}}, and two students of Unova's Blueberry Academy, [[Kieran]] and [[Carmine]], alongside their teacher, [[Briar]], participate in the trip to the siblings's homeland, [[Kitakami]]. After meeting Florian/Juliana and continuously losing to them, and having the [[Legendary Pokémon]] he's long idolized, {{ga|Ogerpon}}, choose them over him, Kieran develops an overwhelming compulsion to become stronger and defeat them. He, Carmine, and Briar return to Blueberry Academy a little early due to developments concerning the [[Great Crater of Paldea]].

=====Between The Teal Mask and The Indigo Disk=====
Pushing himself to grow stronger in order to defeat his [[rival]], Kieran conquers the {{DL|Blueberry Academy|BB League}} and becomes Blueberry Academy's new {{pkmn|Champion}} after defeating [[Drayton]], at the cost of making the atmosphere in the school's [[League Club Room|League Club]] unpleasant for everyone else. Meanwhile, [[Briar]], thanks to her discoveries about {{Tera}}stallization, installs a giant sphere called Terarium Core in the ceiling of the school's undersea [[Terarium]] dome, enabling the students and staff members to start utilizing the Terastal phenomenon.

=====The Indigo Disk=====
Florian/Juliana is invited to Blueberry Academy as an exchange student. [[Drayton]], the school's former Champion and a member of its [[Elite Four]], invites the new exchange student to participate in the BB League, hoping to restore the genuine love Kieran once had for battling. After clearing the four Elite Trials and defeating the Elite Four, Florian/Juliana is granted the right to challenge Kieran. They emerge victorious, becoming the new BB League Champion. Although Kieran initially retains his obsession to defeat his rival, a subsequent adventure in Paldea's [[Area Zero]] makes him see the error of his ways and become friends with Florian/Juliana once again.

At some point, the photographer [[Perrin]] started working at Blueberry Academy to take snapshots of the [[Terarium]] and students for upcoming marketing. She meets Florian/Juliana again in the Terarium and thanks them for the help they gave her in tracking down the {{p|Ursaluna|Bloodmoon Beast}} in [[Kitakami]]. She also reveals them a "hot tip" after taking candid shots of them catching 200 Pokémon in the Terarium, the hot tip are pictures of {{p|Gouging Fire}}{{sup/9|S}}/{{p|Iron Boulder}}{{sup/9|V}} and {{p|Raging Bolt}}{{sup/9|S}}/{{p|Iron Crown}}{{sup/9|V}} in [[Paldea]]'s [[Area Zero]]. After Florian/Juliana find and catch both of them, they speak to Perrin again, who's surprised to see both [[Paradox Pokémon]] were indeed real before taking some photos of them as well.

Unova is divided by two rivers that lead into an ocean to the south of it. These rivers cannot be surfed on, with the exception of the river directly below [[Village Bridge]]. It divides Unova into central and eastern peninsulas and a western landmass. These three landmasses are connected by five bridges: the [[Skyarrow Bridge]], the [[Driftveil Drawbridge]], the [[Tubeline Bridge]], [[Marvelous Bridge]], and the Village Bridge. The eastern part of Unova is further divided by mountains that makes a southeast part and northeast part. The southeastern part is important to Trainers who want to compete in the Pokémon League since two Gyms are located there, but the northeastern part is not since there are no Gyms there and it mostly has tourism, as evidenced by the amount of people speaking foreign languages. Further away from this bundle of towns is where the {{un|Pokémon League}} is located. Interestingly, the northeastern part is the only place in the region to find Pokémon species foreign to Unova outside of Swarms. The central peninsula of Unova consists of two of the largest cities in the Pokémon world, [[Castelia City]] and [[Nimbasa City]], as well as [[Opelucid City]] further north, all of which contain Gyms. Every bridge in Unova connects to the central part of the region from either the east or west. The western side contains medium-sized towns and more varied landscapes but it also has three Gyms there, making it another destination to visit for any Pokémon Trainer.

Unova is a mixture of urban and rural land. The region features 21 settlements which reflect the diversity of the region. Many cities have buildings that resemble real-world buildings, such as [[Striaton City]] and [[Castelia City]]. However, some cities remain the way buildings in the past do, such as [[Humilau City]], which has mostly wooden buildings on platforms above the ocean. [[Castelia City]], a sprawling metropolis, is one of the largest cities in the Pokémon world. [[Nuvema Town]], which is inhabited by the Pokémon expert [[Professor Juniper]], is smaller and quieter. [[Black City]] is a version-exclusive city found only in Pokémon Black. Unova's landscape also features several forests (one of which, [[White Forest]], is also version-exclusive), a [[Desert Resort|desert]], a [[Chargestone Cave|magnetic cave]] and areas where the move {{m|Dive}} can be used outside of battle. Although Unova appears in some ways more technologically advanced than the previous regions, this development is not spread across the whole of the region. There are several aesthetic differences in the region depending on the version; in Pokémon White and White 2, these changes make the geography more rural looking, while in Pokémon Black and Black 2, these changes are more technological in appearance.

===Climate===
{{main|Season (game mechanic)}}
The climate of Unova, unlike other regions, solely depends on the time of the year.

Unlike previous regions, where climatic change was experienced locally (that is to say, some routes would always feature snow, and some routes would always feature rain), Unova is susceptible to national seasonal change. Spring, summer, autumn, and winter each last approximately thirty days, and recur three times each within a year. Each season brings with it different weather patterns, unlocks different events, and presents altered Pokémon availabilities.

===Demographics===
The Unova region has a total population of 949, including all the towns, cities and areas. Upon its introduction in [[Generation V]], it was the largest region by population and is currently the third largest region by population.

=====Bridges and tunnels=====
[[File:Driftveil Drawbridge anime.png|thumb|Driftveil Drawbridge, as seen in the anime]]
Given that Unova is spread across three strips of land divided by two rivers, a number of bridges and an underwater tunnel exist to allow free movement across the region. Each of them has its own characteristic features and are even popular tourist attractions; they are:
* [[Skyarrow Bridge]]
* [[Driftveil Drawbridge]]
* [[Tubeline Bridge]]
* [[Village Bridge]]
* [[Marvelous Bridge]]
* [[Marine Tube]]{{sup/5|B2W2}}

====Routes====
Unlike previous regions, Unova's routes do not follow the same numbering system, with a jump to 301, but are numbered {{rtn|1|Unova}}-{{rtn|23|Unova}}, paralleling the [[Kanto]] region's numbering system and emphasizing Unova's dissociation from the previous four regions.

In the anime, it is also far enough away from Kanto, Johto, Hoenn, and Sinnoh that travelling to or from the region required either via airplane (as Ash and Delia did to arrive in Unova) or by ship (as evidenced by the return journey), the latter also requiring passage through the [[Decolore Islands]] to reach Kanto.

==BB League==
{{main|Blueberry Academy#BB League|Blueberry Academy → BB League}}
[[Blueberry Academy]] has its own unofficial [[Pokémon League]], referred to as the BB League, which is used as a ranking system to determine the strongest Trainer in the school. Unlike the [[Unova League]], this League has no [[Gym Leader]]s. Instead, a Trainer of a high-enough rank may take on an [[Elite Four]] member's Elite Trial, then the Elite Four member themselves, and, if victorious against all four of them, the {{pkmn|Champion}}.

==Trivia==
* Unova is the first [[core series]] [[region]] to be based on a real-world region outside of Japan.
** Unova is also the region that has the most settlements, with 21.
* Unova is the only region without:
** an actual or former {{type|Rock}} [[Gym]] in the generations that introduced Gyms.
** a new {{type|Psychic}} specialist, as [[Caitlin]] was introduced in [[Generation IV]], although she could not be battled until Generation V.
** a regional [[Pokédex]] that starts with a {{type|Grass}} [[first partner Pokémon]] (although the Grass-type first partner Pokémon is still entry #001, its Pokédex starts with {{p|Victini}} as #000).
** the [[List of Pokémon by evolutionary line|evolutionary lines]] of {{p|Pikachu}} and/or {{p|Magikarp}} in its regional Pokédex.
** an [[origin mark]].
* Unova is the only main series region which does not use a romanization of the Japanese name as its English name, and the only region whose name is different among all translations of the games.
** According to [[Junichi Masuda]], Unova's Japanese name was translated into different languages of the games so that players who do not speak Japanese can still understand the meaning behind the name.<ref>(February 10, 2011). [https://www.bisafans.de/spiele/editionen/schwarz-weiss/gamefreak2.php Interview with Game Freak in London] by Bisafans (Page 2) (German)</ref>
* Except [[Black City]] and [[White Forest]], all English names of cities and towns in Unova come from different types of cloud or cloud phenomena. Likewise, except Black City and White Forest, all Japanese names of cities and towns in Unova come from traditional patterns.
* In some pre-release material in {{pmin|the United Kingdom}}, Unova was referred to as '''Alleos'''.
* Unova is tied with [[Galar]] with the most [[Gym Leader]]s in a single region, with 14 in total.
* Unova has the most [[Gym]]s in cities, with all eleven of them. [[Sinnoh]] and [[Kalos]] both also have all of their Gyms in cities, but only have eight Gyms each.
* Unova is the only region in which multiple gyms specialize in the same type: the [[Striaton Gym]] (which also specializes in {{t|Grass}} and {{t|Fire}}) and the [[Humilau Gym]] both specialize in {{t|Water}} types, and the [[Nacrene Gym]] and [[Aspertia Gym]] both specialize in {{t|Normal}} types.
* Unova is the only region to have two [[Victory Road]]s.
* The {{wp|Demonym|adjectival form}} of Unova is "Unovan", as mentioned in {{p|Terrakion}}'s [[Pokémon Sword and Shield|Pokémon Shield]] Pokédex entry.
* The northwestern and northeastern portions of Unova are, in-game, incongruous with one another; the western side is larger in the north-south direction than the eastern side.
* Junichi Masuda chose New York as the basis for the Unova region with Pokémon musical concerts in mind; he had his music arranged and performed in Pokémon-themed concerts held in {{wp|Kantō region|Kantō}}, {{wp|Kansai region|Kansai}}, {{wp|Kyushu}}, and {{wp|Hokkaidō}} (the real-life basis for the regions Kanto, Johto, Hoenn, and Sinnoh respectively), and he had wanted to hold a similar concert in New York due to the many musical theaters found in Manhattan. Ultimately, the plan never came through due to complications, such as having to fly all the musicians and instruments to the United States.<ref name=Iwata/>

Super-ancient Pokémon

2023-12-09T00:04:42Z

Benpiano800: /* In the games */ Added availability in Indigo Disk

[[File:Super-ancient Pokémon.png|thumb|250px|Groudon and Kyogre battle as Rayquaza arrives.]]
[[File:Super-ancient Pokémon 2.png|thumb|250px|The super-ancient Pokémon in their alternative forms in the anime.]]
The '''super-ancient Pokémon''' (Japanese: '''超古代ポケモン''' ''super-ancient Pokémon'') is a term applied to the three ancient [[Legendary Pokémon]] from [[Hoenn]] legend—{{p|Kyogre}}, {{p|Groudon}}, and {{p|Rayquaza}}. This trio has historically been called the '''weather trio''' by fans.

The three Pokémon represent separate elemental spheres, Kyogre having dominion over the {{wp|hydrosphere}}, Groudon over the {{wp|lithosphere}}, and Rayquaza over the {{wp|atmosphere}}. These roles are reflected in their types. The members all have some physiological similarities, with similar symbols on their bodies as well as yellow eyes. The three Pokémon could be references to creatures from Hebrew myth: {{wp|Leviathan}}, a sea monster; {{wp|Behemoth}}, a land beast; and {{wp|Ziz}}, a giant bird.

In their reprised roles in the [[remake]]s of {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}, {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, Groudon and Kyogre gained the ability to undergo [[Primal Reversion]] and Rayquaza the ability to [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]]. Primal Reversion is said to be a process whereby the Pokémon return to their original power. Meanwhile, Rayquaza is said to be the first Pokémon to have Mega Evolved.

In their original appearance in Generation III, Groudon, Kyogre, and Rayquaza's {{cat|Abilities with effects on weather conditions|weather-changing}} {{Abilities}} belonged exclusively to them. Though several non-Legendary Pokémon have other Abilities that can alter the [[weather]], only {{a|Cloud Nine}}'s effect overlaps with the effects of the trio's Abilities (with Rayquaza's {{a|Air Lock}}). Upon undergoing Primal Reversion or Mega Evolution, Groudon, Kyogre, and Rayquaza gain new exclusive Abilities, enhanced versions of their original Abilities.

Though moves such as {{m|Sunny Day}} and {{m|Rain Dance}} have acted just like Groudon's and Kyogre's Abilities since Generation III, causing the weather to change for only five turns, originally, Groudon's and Kyogre's Abilities caused their weather effect for the remainder of the battle or until the weather was changed again in some way. However, Primal Groudon and Primal Kyogre's new, enhanced Abilities render it impossible for the weather to be changed by most other means, though the effect lasts only as long as they remain in battle. By contrast, Rayquaza's Ability—which removes the battle effects of any weather on the field, leaving only its visual effect—only lasts as long as Rayquaza remains active, as does Mega Rayquaza's enhanced version of the Ability.

Rayquaza, the [[Legendary group|trio master]], was shown quelling a violent confrontation between the other two Pokémon during the events of {{game|Emerald}}.

==History==
The super-ancient Pokémon's history was first revealed in the [[Hoenn]] [[Generation III]] games and expanded upon in {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}. The Draconids tribe kept recorded history of the trio through mural paintings at [[Sky Pillar]].

2,000 years ago, during Hoenn's primal age, the world was overflowing with natural energy. Groudon and Kyogre were born from that natural energy. [[Primal Reversion|Primal]] {{p|Groudon}} and Primal {{p|Kyogre}} fought over that energy in long clashes, creating natural disasters in the process. The Hoenn region was created from these clashes. In the face of their great power, people could do nothing. But {{p|Rayquaza}} intervened, and its power overwhelmed that of the two primal Pokémon, ending their conflict and returning peace to the world.

A thousand years later, a meteoroid hit the earth, creating what would become [[Sootopolis City]]. This impact caused cracks in the ground that unleashed natural energy, causing Primal Groudon and Primal Kyogre to battle each other again, threatening to destroy the world in the process. Humans had a collective memory of how Rayquaza saved their race long ago, and their wish for this to happen again combined with the power of the Meteorite allowed Rayquaza to [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] for the first time and calm the other two Pokémon. Stripped of their primal forms, Groudon and Kyogre entered a deep slumber in their respective homes while Rayquaza returned to the sky.

Sky Pillar was then created by the [[Draconid]]s people to honor and preserve the super-ancient Pokémon's history. They also prepared for the day when Rayquaza would be needed again upon the eventual appearance of the [[Grand Meteor Delta]]. The [[Red Orb]] and [[Blue Orb]] were created in case Groudon and Kyogre returned, with the power to calm down the two of them without the aid of Rayquaza.

==In the anime==
[[File:Kyogre Groudon legend.png|thumb|250px|An ancient mural depicting the clash between Groudon and Kyogre]]
All three super-ancient Pokémon have appeared in the {{pkmn|anime}}. {{DL|Kyogre and Groudon (Ruby and Sapphire series)|Kyogre}} and {{DL|Kyogre and Groudon (Ruby and Sapphire series)|Groudon}} both debuted in ''[[AG097|Gaining Groudon]]''. Kyogre had been captured by [[Team Magma]], who was also in possession of the [[Blue Orb]]. Groudon was in [[Team Aqua]]'s possession along with the [[Red Orb]]. The two teams were planning on swapping Groudon and Kyogre, but Kyogre was released by {{tc|Aqua Admin|Team Aqua commander}} [[Shelly]], who had infiltrated Team Magma. [[Archie]] then proceeded to take control of Kyogre using the Red Orb. In the [[AG098|following episode]], Archie threatened to use Kyogre's power to flood the island both teams had met at. At this time the now awakened Groudon came and began to battle with Kyogre. During this time, {{Ash}}, {{ashfr}}, and [[Lance]] managed to snap Archie out of the Red Orb's possession. Now free from the Orbs' possession Kyogre and Groudon retreated into the ocean and a volcano, respectively. {{OBP|Rayquaza|M07}} debuted separately from the other members of its trio. It first appeared in ''[[M07|Destiny Deoxys]]'', where it defended its territory from a {{OBP|Deoxys|M07}}.

In ''[[XYS02|Mega Evolution Special II]]'', [[Super-ancient Pokémon (XY series)#Rayquaza|Rayquaza]] appeared after [[Alain]] and {{Steven}} used their [[Mega Ring]] and [[Key Stone|Mega Stickpin]], respectively, to open one of Hoenn's ancient ruins and reveal the legendary [[Giant Rock]]. The energy emitted by the rock not only brought Rayquaza to the ruins, but it also awoke [[Super-ancient Pokémon (XY series)#Groudon|Groudon]] and [[Super-ancient Pokémon (XY series)#Kyogre|Kyogre]] from their slumbers. Rayquaza, in a fit of rage, began attacking the people responsible for unlocking the Giant Rock. Seeing that, Alain and Steven sent out {{TP|Alain|Charizard}} and {{TP|Steven|Metagross}} to stop the {{pkmn|category|Sky High Pokémon}}, but to no avail. Rayquaza destroyed the ruins by using {{m|Draco Meteor}}, disintegrating the Giant Rock in the process before returning to the ozone layer.

In ''[[XYS03|Mega Evolution Special III]]'', Alain and Steven were monitoring the area around [[Rustboro City]] when they noticed that Groudon had awakened and was seemingly moving towards the coastline. Steven wondered if Kyogre could also appear, and just at that moment, they received footage of the {{pkmn|category|Sea Basin Pokémon}}. Lysandre then commented on the possibility of the [[Pokémon world]] being destroyed, scaring Mairin. After that, Steven explained to her that there is a legend in the [[Hoenn]] [[region]] that has been told since ancient times. According to Steven, the legend says that in the prehistoric era, Primal Groudon expanded the continents and Primal Kyogre expanded the seas. The two [[Legendary Pokémon]] were locked in a fierce struggle to obtain a source of enormous energy. That struggle shook the land and the skies, nearly destroying the world in the process. He also added that some people believe the energy source they were searching for was the Giant Rock.

Steven and Lysandre soon discovered that both Groudon and Kyogre were following an energy similar to that of the Giant Rock. Suspecting the rock would materialize in the place Groudon and Kyogre were headed, Lysandre ordered Alain to protect it from the super-ancient Pokémon. After that, Alain and Steven flew over the area on a plane and, when the two [[Primal Reversion|Primal Pokémon]] started fighting for the source of energy, they sent out their Charizard and Metagross to prevent them from consuming the rock's energy. However, Charizard and Metagross had trouble fighting against the Legendary Pokémon, but their combined efforts protected the Giant Rock long enough for Rayquaza to step in and put an end to the conflict between Groudon and Kyogre, causing them to return to their regular forms. After that, [[Team Flare|Lysandre's employees]] appeared to take away the Giant Rock, blocking its energy and placing it in a submarine. With the rock away, all three super-ancient Pokémon retreated.

Primal Kyogre, Primal Groudon, and a {{Shiny}} Mega Rayquaza all made a major appearance in ''[[M18|Hoopa and The Clash of Ages]]''. Primal Kyogre and Primal Groudon were summoned by a dark entity of {{an|Hoopa}}'s {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Hoopa|Unbound}} form, along with the [[Pokémon of Myth]] and {{p|Kyurem}}, and were controlled by the evil shadow in order to terrorize [[Dahara City]]. It was revealed that long ago, Kyogre and Groudon engaged in a battle with Hoopa in its Unbound form to entertain the citizens of Dahara City, but this ended when Hoopa's power was sealed by [[Ghris]]. Mega Rayquaza was summoned by Hoopa along with {{p|Latias}} and {{p|Latios}} in order to stop the entity of Hoopa's Unbound form from terrorizing Dahara City.

==In the manga==
===Pokémon Adventures===
{{main|Super-ancient Pokémon (Adventures)}}
All three super-ancient Pokémon have appeared in Pokémon Adventures. Archie and Maxie took control of Kyogre and Groudon respectively, and Norman awakened Rayquaza in order to calm the two.
