Hi. I'm '''Blue Ninjakoopa,''' otherwise known as '''BNK''', '''Binky''', or simply '''Blue.'''

==Introduction==
My history with Pokemon dates all the way back to 1999 when I got [[Yellow Version]] for my birthday. I got into the series however when I got [[Sapphire Version]] in 2003 and since then the series is of interest to me. My sister got [[Ruby Version]] and we oftentimes traded cartridges until late 2004, when it was finalized that Ruby was mine and Sapphire was hers (which I was more than OK with, since Ruby had better Pokemon imo and the [[wikipedia:ruby|ruby]] is my birthstone).

Generation IV's new mechanics (the separation of physical and special moves by what kind of move they were rather than their type for example) were necessary landmark changes. However, I dislike the lack of creativity for some of the names, namely [[Infernape]] and [[Monferno]]; I also thought that some of the designs were lacking ([[Croagunk]], [[Toxicroak]], the [[Lake guardians]] to provide some examples). In the game department, the [[cry]] of [[Dialga]] was a very large disappointment. The sprites were a small improvement in comparison to the previous generation (bar sprites for Kanto region Pokemon + [[Teddiursa]] in [[Pokemon FireRed and LeafGreen|FireRed & LeafGreen]]), and the 3D-scale game [[Battle Revolution]] was very successful, though it wouldn't have been too hard for them to redesign ''all'' of the graphics for the Pokemon ([[Nidoking]] looked like it did in the [[Pokemon Stadium]] games, for example).

===Other notes===
I'm from Texas, but I used to say I was "from California" because I thought that "sounded cool."

==Pokemon==
===Games===
I have the [[Pokemon Yellow|Yellow]], [[Pokemon Silver|Silver]], [[Pokemon Ruby|Ruby]], [[Pokemon LeafGreen|LeafGreen]], [[Pokemon Emerald|Emerald]], [[Pokemon Diamond|Diamond]], [[Pokemon Platinum|Platinum]], [[Pokemon Soul Silver|SoulSilver]], [[Pokemon Black|Black]], [[Black 2]], [[Pokemon Omega Ruby|Omega Ruby]], and [[Pokemon X|X]] versions, as well as [[Stadium 2]], [[Gale of Darkness]], [[Pokemon Colosseum|Colosseum]], and [[Battle Revolution]]. I used the [[Red|Pokemon Trainer]] in ''[[Brawl]]'' until I got tired of his impractical gimmick (3 characters in 1, which greatly hinders skill development). Behind Mario and Kirby, Pokemon is the franchise I'm third most familiar with.

I bought [[Pokemon Blue|Blue]] on the 3DS virtual console in March 2016. I'm currently training my team of Blastoise, Fearow, Machamp, Alakazam, Jolteon, and Nidoking in Victory Road so I don't have to rely on "game over" experience by repeatedly battling (and losing to) the Elite 4. I caught two of the Legendary Birds (Articuno and Moltres), and I plan to catch the third and transfer them all to [[Pokemon Sun]]. I also played through [[Sapphire Version]], which had belonged to my sister previously.
====Teams (under construction)====
These are my "on-hand" teams for each game. Many aren't actually "on-hand", but they are the Pokemon that were on my team when I beat the Elite 4 and Champion.

===TV show===
I watched the TV show actively from 1999 to early 2004, right before the theme song was changed to ''[[This Dream]]''. After that, I infrequently watched the episodes as they would come on on Cartoon Network. The primary reasons I dislike the anime as it is (as it became in the late 00's) are the lack in effort for the voice acting (James sounds like a nasally congested [[Wikipedia:Barney & Friends|Barney the Dinosaur]], the voices of the Pokemon all sound the same and the voice actor portraying them does a very lousy job), removal of trademark themes and tunes, and poor opening songs. One thing that is a step up are the graphics, but that's it.

In general, having taken off my nostalgia goggles, the anime really wasn't anything spectacular. The conclusion of most episodes was always some variant of Pikachu being stolen by Team Rocket and Ash using one of his other Pokemon to pop their hot air balloon. Additionally, the physics weren't accurate to the games, with Ash having defeated several ground-type Pokemon with his Pikachu's electric attacks. This wasn't fixed until the D/P arc. It was also annoying that Ash never evolved many of his Pokemon, but that didn't matter, since any of Ash's under-leveled Pokemon could take on fully-evolved Pokemon owned by expert trainers thanks to plot armor.
==Random Thoughts Dump==
Here, I'll list trivial things I've realized while looking through my refrigerator or taking a shower that don't really belong on any article. It's a work in progress.
===Kangeiko reference in Diamond/Pearl/Platinum===
I think the availability of Machoke and Meditite/Medicham in Sinnoh Routes [[Sinnoh Route 216|216]] and [[Sinnoh Route 217|217]] seems to be a reference to "[https://www.japanese-wiki-corpus.org/culture/Kangeiko.html Kangeiko]" (I think it means "cold training"), which is when athletes or martial artists train in the cold prevalent in the middle of the winter. It's one of those little things that makes you appreciate these games more. It could also be a coincidence that the Machoke and Medicham are there as convenient options to aid in the fight against Candice's Ice-type Pokemon, but it's fun to think about it in a more intricate context.
===Gorebyss and Huntail's Defense===
Stats are usually straightforward. [[Rapidash]] is a horse. Horses are fast. Rapidash thus has a high speed stat. Stats can also be weird... but there's often logic behind them still. Usually, stats are dictated by a need for balance. This is why [[Purugly]]'s HP is so low while its speed is so high, even though you wouldn't think of a "fat" Pokemon being fast (it having too much HP wouldn't have differentiated it enough from its counterpart, [[Skuntank]], and would have been hell to deal with in the early part of D/P). Anyway, back to Gorebyss and Huntail. You've probably noticed that they both have base 105 defense. And you might be thinking it's strange, considering their previous evolution, [[Clamperl]], has a SHELL and only has base 80 defense. But there's a reason for this, and it's not balance. Both Gorebyss and Huntail are based on deep-sea fish: the snipe eel and gulper eel, respectively. Deep underwater, there's a lot of pressure, and animals that live there either need sturdy bones/shells or soft, flexible skin to resist said pressure. Gorebyss and Huntail's high defense stats reference their ability to resist deep-sea pressure.
===Trapinch's Attack===
This one should be more obvious to seasoned players of R/S and fans of the [[Flygon]] line. Nintendo is known for having a fascination with antlion larvae, which have appeared in some capacity across multiple franchises. Off the top of my head, there's {{smw|Priscilla the Peckish}} from the Mario universe, {{wk|Snipper}} from Kirby, and the {{smw|Sandworm}} from Wario. [[Trapinch]] is one such antlion larvae-based creation, and a lot of people love it. As many of you were, I was puzzled the first time I evolved my Trapinch into [[Vibrava]] and noticed its attack had decreased significantly. One might assume an error or glitch, but there's a reference in all of it. And it's a simple one... you see, antlion larvae are notorious predators that create sand pits (hence [[Sand Tomb]] being one of Trapinch's earliest known moves) that trap prey (usually ants, hence the name) by making it difficult for the prey to climb out. The trap's effectiveness is achieved thanks to the physics of sand... on an incline, the tiny grains of sand roll off of each other as the prey tries to climb out, and eventually the prey slips into the jaws of the larvae. When antlion larvae grow up, however, they're not nearly as aggressive (if I'm not mistaken, they don't even prey on other animals or aren't really able to), hence the attack drop.
===Trainer Team Explanations===
I was playing Platinum the other day and fought a [[Cameraman (Trainer class)|cameraman]] who had two [[Magneton]], a [[Mr. Mime]], and a [[Machamp]], and I thought about how the Pokemon on a trainer's team will often represent in some way their respective trainer's occupation. Cameramen use electric cameras; Magneton is machine-like and an electric-type. When filming, they may use gestures (voiceless, needless to say) to guide someone like a reporter or actor; [[Mr. Mime]] is based on mimes, who are known for these kinds of movements. Cameras and other recording equipment are very heavy; [[Machamp]] is very strong and can lift such equipment. The [[Reporter (Trainer class)|reporter]] similarly used Pokemon relevant to her tasks; her [[Drifblim]] referenced the phenomenon of broadcasting news on blimps and being "everywhere at once", and her [[Luxray]] referenced her showiness and the moves Luxray learns like [[Roar]] and [[Swagger]] complement the reporter's use of their voice to effect their audiences (I did not misspell affect there, by the way).

Some are more obvious, such as [[Biker (Trainer class)|bikers]] using Koffing and Weezing in reference to the gas emissions from their bikes and Grimer and Muk to reference the lubricants bikes and other vehicles require, as well as the sludge that occurs as a byproduct of these lubricants burning and mixing with fragments of plastic and iron inside the bike's engine.
===Aerodactyl===
This is a quick one. Apparently, a species of pterosaur called "Thapunngaka shawi" was discovered in the early 2010s. [[Aerodactyl]] predates this creature (rather, it predates its discovery), but I can't help but notice that its jaws strongly resemble Thapunngaka shawi's. That's where the similarities end, however; Thapunngaka shawi lacks a tail and "horns."
===Suicune Rant===
I wanted to vent my frustration here so that it's somewhere in the ether. I'm not sure I've ever been as disappointed in the Pokemon series as I was with the removal of [[Bubble Beam]] and [[Aurora Beam]] from [[Suicune]]'s moveset in ''Sword'' and ''Shield''. I know those games were really bad and this is an old wound, but for some reason those attacks felt like they were part of Suicune's DNA, and poof... they were gone. It felt like they removed the giant crystal that crested Suicune's head. When you think of those moves, you think of Suicune. A silly thing to rant over, admittedly, especially since these moves aren't particularly useful, but it's still a vexing decision considering the moves still existed in the game's code and could be learned by other Pokemon. This happened with other attacks and Pokemon too, but I can't think of them right now.
===Interesting Aggron Lore===
[[Aggron]] is based on the pulgasari, a monster from Korean legend that lived on the mountains and consumed iron. Its appearance in the Pokemon games is derived from the iteration of the pulgasari that appeared in the Korean film, ''{{wp|Pulgasari|Pulgasari}}''. One can observe this in its upright stance, horns on its head, spikes on its shoulders, and metal armor. Parenthetically, [[Lairon]] more closely resembles the original quadrupedal pulgasari, but with armor added to reflect its relationship with Aggron. The film which inspired Aggron became extremely popular in Japan (and was developed partly by Japanese producers), possibly due to the immense success of ''Godzilla'', and this is why Aggron looks the way it does. However, the film ''Pulgasari'' technically would not exist had it not been for the kidnapping of the film's producer, Shin Sang-ok, by North Korean dictator Kim Jong Il. Aggron as we know it would probably look a lot different if it was based purely on the original pulgasari design, or on its appearance in the 1960s ''Pulgasari'' film.
===Moveset anomalies: Wailord and Self-Destruct===
[[Wailord]] and its pre-evolution [[Wailmer]] are capable of learning the move [[Self Destruct]] via tutor in ''[[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]].'' As part of my unorganized series on why Pokemon have the stats and learn the moves that they do, I thought I'd give an explanation for this. There are two possible reasons Wailord learns this move... and both are kinda morbid. Reason one is that it could be referencing the phenomenon of exploding whales. Thankfully, whales only explode when they're dead, but it's still kinda gross. When a whale dies, its body decomposes and fills up with gas. Once its skin can no longer contain this gas, it explodes. You may have seen pictures of a whale carcass on the cusp of exploding; the skin on the underside (the "Thanos chin" part) expands like one of those stretchy squeeze toys filled with liquid that you might find in a dollar store. The explosions can be devastating if the whale is beached near a town, as its guts and blubber will rain down on nearby structures. Reason two is that it's a reference to blimps or airships (hot-air balloons in Wailmer's case) and their propensity to explode, due to being filled with flammable air (at least in earlier models). The most infamous example of this happening is the Hindenburg, a blimp that exploded in a disaster that killed tens of people. Hydrogen used to be the gas of choice because it lifted high, but its flammability made it prone to explode and it was replaced; hydrogen is coincidentally one of the elements that makes up water (along with oxygen), and Wailord is a Water-type Pokemon. While it's unlikely that this is the motivation for Wailord having access to Self Destruct, it's a funny coincidence.

===TV show===
I watched the TV show actively from 1999 to early 2004, right before the theme song was changed to ''[[This Dream]]''. After that, I infrequently watched the episodes as they would come on on Cartoon Network. The primary reasons I dislike the anime as it is (as it became in the late 00's) are the lack in effort for the voice acting (James sounds like a nasally congested [[Wikipedia:Barney & Friends|Barney the Dinosaur]], the voices of the Pokemon all sound the same and the voice actor portraying them does a very lousy job), removal of trademark themes and tunes, and poor opening songs. One thing that is a step up are the graphics, but that's it.

In general, having taken off my nostalgia goggles, the anime really wasn't anything spectacular. The conclusion of most episodes was always some variant of Pikachu being stolen by Team Rocket and Ash using one of his other Pokemon to pop their hot air balloon. Additionally, the physics weren't accurate to the games, with Ash having defeated several ground-type Pokemon with his Pikachu's electric attacks. This wasn't fixed until the D/P arc. It was also annoying that Ash never evolved many of his Pokemon, but that didn't matter, since any of Ash's under-leveled Pokemon could take on fully-evolved Pokemon owned by expert trainers thanks to plot armor.
==Refrigerator Realization Dump==
Here, I'll list trivial things I've realized while looking through my refrigerator or taking a shower that don't really belong on any article. It's a work in progress.
===Kangeiko reference in Diamond/Pearl/Platinum===
I think the availability of Machoke and Meditite/Medicham in Sinnoh Routes [[Sinnoh Route 216|216]] and [[Sinnoh Route 217|217]] seems to be a reference to "[https://www.japanese-wiki-corpus.org/culture/Kangeiko.html Kangeiko]" (I think it means "cold training"), which is when athletes or martial artists train in the cold prevalent in the middle of the winter. It's one of those little things that makes you appreciate these games more. It could also be a coincidence that the Machoke and Medicham are there as convenient options to aid in the fight against Candice's Ice-type Pokemon, but it's fun to think about it in a more intricate context.
===Gorebyss and Huntail's Defense===
Stats are usually straightforward. [[Rapidash]] is a horse. Horses are fast. Rapidash thus has a high speed stat. Stats can also be weird... but there's often logic behind them still. Usually, stats are dictated by a need for balance. This is why [[Purugly]]'s HP is so low while its speed is so high, even though you wouldn't think of a "fat" Pokemon being fast (it having too much HP wouldn't have differentiated it enough from its counterpart, [[Skuntank]], and would have been hell to deal with in the early part of D/P). Anyway, back to Gorebyss and Huntail. You've probably noticed that they both have base 105 defense. And you might be thinking it's strange, considering their previous evolution, [[Clamperl]], has a SHELL and only has base 80 defense. But there's a reason for this, and it's not balance. Both Gorebyss and Huntail are based on deep-sea fish: the snipe eel and gulper eel, respectively. Deep underwater, there's a lot of pressure, and animals that live there either need sturdy bones/shells or soft, flexible skin to resist said pressure. Gorebyss and Huntail's high defense stats reference their ability to resist deep-sea pressure.
===Trapinch's Attack===
This one should be more obvious to seasoned players of R/S and fans of the [[Flygon]] line. Nintendo is known for having a fascination with antlion larvae, which have appeared in some capacity across multiple franchises. Off the top of my head, there's {{smw|Priscilla the Peckish}} from the Mario universe, {{wk|Snipper}} from Kirby, and the {{smw|Sandworm}} from Wario. [[Trapinch]] is one such antlion larvae-based creation, and a lot of people love it. As many of you were, I was puzzled the first time I evolved my Trapinch into [[Vibrava]] and noticed its attack had decreased significantly. One might assume an error or glitch, but there's a reference in all of it. And it's a simple one... you see, antlion larvae are notorious predators that create sand pits (hence [[Sand Tomb]] being one of Trapinch's earliest known moves) that trap prey (usually ants, hence the name) by making it difficult for the prey to climb out. The trap's effectiveness is achieved thanks to the physics of sand... on an incline, the tiny grains of sand roll off of each other as the prey tries to climb out, and eventually the prey slips into the jaws of the larvae. When antlion larvae grow up, however, they're not nearly as aggressive (if I'm not mistaken, they don't even prey on other animals or aren't really able to), hence the attack drop.
===Trainer Team Explanations===
I was playing Platinum the other day and fought a [[Cameraman (Trainer class)|cameraman]] who had two [[Magneton]], a [[Mr. Mime]], and a [[Machamp]], and I thought about how the Pokemon on a trainer's team will often represent in some way their respective trainer's occupation. Cameramen use electric cameras; Magneton is machine-like and an electric-type. When filming, they may use gestures (voiceless, needless to say) to guide someone like a reporter or actor; [[Mr. Mime]] is based on mimes, who are known for these kinds of movements. Cameras and other recording equipment are very heavy; [[Machamp]] is very strong and can lift such equipment. The [[Reporter (Trainer class)|reporter]] similarly used Pokemon relevant to her tasks; her [[Drifblim]] referenced the phenomenon of broadcasting news on blimps and being "everywhere at once", and her [[Luxray]] referenced her showiness and the moves Luxray learns like [[Roar]] and [[Swagger]] complement the reporter's use of their voice to effect their audiences (I did not misspell affect there, by the way).

Some are more obvious, such as [[Biker (Trainer class)|bikers]] using Koffing and Weezing in reference to the gas emissions from their bikes and Grimer and Muk to reference the lubricants bikes and other vehicles require, as well as the sludge that occurs as a byproduct of these lubricants burning and mixing with fragments of plastic and iron inside the bike's engine.
===Aerodactyl===
This is a quick one. Apparently, a species of pterosaur called "Thapunngaka shawi" was discovered in the early 2010s. [[Aerodactyl]] predates this creature (rather, it predates its discovery), but I can't help but notice that its jaws strongly resemble Thapunngaka shawi's. That's where the similarities end, however; Thapunngaka shawi lacks a tail and "horns."
===Suicune Rant===
I wanted to vent my frustration here so that it's somewhere in the ether. I'm not sure I've ever been as disappointed in the Pokemon series as I was with the removal of [[Bubble Beam]] and [[Aurora Beam]] from [[Suicune]]'s moveset in ''Sword'' and ''Shield''. I know those games were really bad and this is an old wound, but for some reason those attacks felt like they were part of Suicune's DNA, and poof... they were gone. It felt like they removed the giant crystal that crested Suicune's head. When you think of those moves, you think of Suicune. A silly thing to rant over, admittedly, especially since these moves aren't particularly useful, but it's still a vexing decision considering the moves still existed in the game's code and could be learned by other Pokemon. This happened with other attacks and Pokemon too, but I can't think of them right now.
===Interesting Aggron Lore===
[[Aggron]] is based on the pulgasari, a monster from Korean legend that lived on the mountains and consumed iron. Its appearance in the Pokemon games is derived from the iteration of the pulgasari that appeared in the Korean film, ''{{wp|Pulgasari|Pulgasari}}''. One can observe this in its upright stance, horns on its head, spikes on its shoulders, and metal armor. Parenthetically, [[Lairon]] more closely resembles the original quadrupedal pulgasari, but with armor added to reflect its relationship with Aggron. The film which inspired Aggron became extremely popular in Japan (and was developed partly by Japanese producers), possibly due to the immense success of ''Godzilla'', and this is why Aggron looks the way it does. However, the film ''Pulgasari'' technically would not exist had it not been for the kidnapping of the film's producer, Shin Sang-ok, by North Korean dictator Kim Jong Il. Aggron as we know it would probably look a lot different if it was based purely on the original pulgasari design, or on its appearance in the 1960s ''Pulgasari'' film.

Hi. I'm '''Blue Ninjakoopa,''' otherwise known as '''BNK''', '''Binky''', or simply '''Blue.'''

==Introduction==
My history with Pokemon dates all the way back to 1999 when I got [[Yellow Version]] for my birthday. I got into the series however when I got [[Sapphire Version]] in 2003 and since then the series is of interest to me. My sister got [[Ruby Version]] and we oftentimes traded cartridges until late 2004, when it was finalized that Ruby was mine and Sapphire was hers (which I was more than OK with, since Ruby had better Pokemon imo and the [[wikipedia:ruby|ruby]] is my birthstone).

Generation IV's new mechanics (the separation of physical and special moves by what kind of move they were rather than their type for example) were necessary landmark changes. However, I dislike the lack of creativity for some of the names, namely [[Infernape]] and [[Monferno]]; I also thought that some of the designs were lacking ([[Croagunk]], [[Toxicroak]], the [[Lake guardians]] to provide some examples). In the game department, the [[cry]] of [[Dialga]] was a very large disappointment. The sprites were a small improvement in comparison to the previous generation (bar sprites for Kanto region Pokemon + [[Teddiursa]] in [[Pokemon FireRed and LeafGreen|FireRed & LeafGreen]]), and the 3D-scale game [[Battle Revolution]] was very successful, though it wouldn't have been too hard for them to redesign ''all'' of the graphics for the Pokemon ([[Nidoking]] looked like it did in the [[Pokemon Stadium]] games, for example).

===Other notes===
I'm from Texas, but I used to say I was "from California" because I thought that "sounded cool."

==Pokemon==
===Games===
I have the [[Pokemon Yellow|Yellow]], [[Pokemon Silver|Silver]], [[Pokemon Ruby|Ruby]], [[Pokemon LeafGreen|LeafGreen]], [[Pokemon Emerald|Emerald]], [[Pokemon Diamond|Diamond]], [[Pokemon Platinum|Platinum]], [[Pokemon Soul Silver|SoulSilver]], [[Pokemon Black|Black]], [[Black 2]], [[Pokemon Omega Ruby|Omega Ruby]], and [[Pokemon X|X]] versions, as well as [[Stadium 2]], [[Gale of Darkness]], [[Pokemon Colosseum|Colosseum]], and [[Battle Revolution]]. I used the [[Red|Pokemon Trainer]] in ''[[Brawl]]'' until I got tired of his impractical gimmick (3 characters in 1, which greatly hinders skill development). Behind Mario and Kirby, Pokemon is the franchise I'm third most familiar with.

I bought [[Pokemon Blue|Blue]] on the 3DS virtual console in March 2016. I'm currently training my team of Blastoise, Fearow, Machamp, Alakazam, Jolteon, and Nidoking in Victory Road so I don't have to rely on "game over" experience by repeatedly battling (and losing to) the Elite 4. I caught two of the Legendary Birds (Articuno and Moltres), and I plan to catch the third and transfer them all to [[Pokemon Sun]]. I also played through [[Sapphire Version]], which had belonged to my sister previously.

A silly thing to rant over, admittedly, especially since these moves aren't particularly useful, but it's still a vexing decision considering the moves still existed in the game's code and could be learned by other Pokemon. This happened with other attacks and Pokemon too, but I can't think of them right now.
===Interesting Aggron Lore===
[[Aggron]] is based on the pulgasari, a monster from Korean legend that lived on the mountains and consumed iron. Its appearance in the Pokemon games is derived from the iteration of the pulgasari that appeared in the Korean film, ''{{wp|Pulgasari (film)|Pulgasari}}''. One can observe this in its upright stance, horns on its head, spikes on its shoulders, and metal armor. Parenthetically, [[Lairon]] more closely resembles the original quadrupedal pulgasari, but with armor added to reflect its relationship with Aggron. The film which inspired Aggron became extremely popular in Japan (and was developed partly by Japanese producers), possibly due to the immense success of ''Godzilla'', and this is why Aggron looks the way it does. However, the film ''Pulgasari'' technically would not exist had it not been for the kidnapping of the film's producer, Shin Sang-ok, by North Korean dictator Kim Jong Il. Aggron as we know it would probably look a lot different if it was based purely on the original pulgasari design, or on its appearance in the 1960s ''Pulgasari'' film.

Hi. I'm '''Blue Ninjakoopa,''' otherwise known as '''BNK''', '''Binky''', or simply '''Blue.'''

==Introduction==
My history with Pokemon dates all the way back to 1999 when I got [[Yellow Version]] for my birthday. I got into the series however when I got [[Sapphire Version]] in 2003 and since then the series is of interest to me. My sister got [[Ruby Version]] and we oftentimes traded cartridges until late 2004, when it was finalized that Ruby was mine and Sapphire was hers (which I was more than OK with, since Ruby had better Pokemon imo and the [[wikipedia:ruby|ruby]] is my birthstone).

Generation IV's new mechanics (the separation of physical and special moves by what kind of move they were rather than their type for example) were necessary landmark changes. However, I dislike the lack of creativity for some of the names, namely [[Infernape]] and [[Monferno]]; I also thought that some of the designs were lacking ([[Croagunk]], [[Toxicroak]], the [[Lake guardians]] to provide some examples). In the game department, the [[cry]] of [[Dialga]] was a very large disappointment. The sprites were a small improvement in comparison to the previous generation (bar sprites for Kanto region Pokemon + [[Teddiursa]] in [[Pokemon FireRed and LeafGreen|FireRed & LeafGreen]]), and the 3D-scale game [[Battle Revolution]] was very successful, though it wouldn't have been too hard for them to redesign ''all'' of the graphics for the Pokemon ([[Nidoking]] looked like it did in the [[Pokemon Stadium]] games, for example).

===Other notes===
I'm from Texas, but I used to say I was "from California" because I thought that "sounded cool."

==Pokemon==
===Games===
I have the [[Pokemon Yellow|Yellow]], [[Pokemon Silver|Silver]], [[Pokemon Ruby|Ruby]], [[Pokemon LeafGreen|LeafGreen]], [[Pokemon Emerald|Emerald]], [[Pokemon Diamond|Diamond]], [[Pokemon Platinum|Platinum]], [[Pokemon Soul Silver|SoulSilver]], [[Pokemon Black|Black]], [[Black 2]], [[Pokemon Omega Ruby|Omega Ruby]], and [[Pokemon X|X]] versions, as well as [[Stadium 2]], [[Gale of Darkness]], [[Pokemon Colosseum|Colosseum]], and [[Battle Revolution]]. I used the [[Red|Pokemon Trainer]] in ''[[Brawl]]'' until I got tired of his impractical gimmick (3 characters in 1, which greatly hinders skill development). Behind Mario and Kirby, Pokemon is the franchise I'm third most familiar with.

I bought [[Pokemon Blue|Blue]] on the 3DS virtual console in March 2016. I'm currently training my team of Blastoise, Fearow, Machamp, Alakazam, Jolteon, and Nidoking in Victory Road so I don't have to rely on "game over" experience by repeatedly battling (and losing to) the Elite 4. I caught two of the Legendary Birds (Articuno and Moltres), and I plan to catch the third and transfer them all to [[Pokemon Sun]]. I also played through [[Sapphire Version]], which had belonged to my sister previously.
====Teams (under construction)====
These are my "on-hand" teams for each game. Many aren't actually "on-hand", but they are the Pokemon that were on my team when I beat the Elite 4 and Champion.

===TV show===
I watched the TV show actively from 1999 to early 2004, right before the theme song was changed to ''[[This Dream]]''. After that, I infrequently watched the episodes as they would come on on Cartoon Network. The primary reasons I dislike the anime as it is (as it became in the late 00's) are the lack in effort for the voice acting (James sounds like a nasally congested [[Wikipedia:Barney & Friends|Barney the Dinosaur]], the voices of the Pokemon all sound the same and the voice actor portraying them does a very lousy job), removal of trademark themes and tunes, and poor opening songs. One thing that is a step up are the graphics, but that's it.

In general, having taken off my nostalgia goggles, the anime really wasn't anything spectacular. The conclusion of most episodes was always some variant of Pikachu being stolen by Team Rocket and Ash using one of his other Pokemon to pop their hot air balloon. Additionally, the physics weren't accurate to the games, with Ash having defeated several ground-type Pokemon with his Pikachu's electric attacks. This wasn't fixed until the D/P arc. It was also annoying that Ash never evolved many of his Pokemon, but that didn't matter, since any of Ash's under-leveled Pokemon could take on fully-evolved Pokemon owned by expert trainers thanks to plot armor.
==Refrigerator Realization Dump==
Here, I'll list trivial things I've realized while looking through my refrigerator or taking a shower that don't really belong on any article. It's a work in progress.
===Kangeiko reference in Diamond/Pearl/Platinum===
I think the availability of Machoke and Meditite/Medicham in Sinnoh Routes [[Sinnoh Route 216|216]] and [[Sinnoh Route 217|217]] seems to be a reference to "[https://www.japanese-wiki-corpus.org/culture/Kangeiko.html Kangeiko]" (I think it means "cold training"), which is when athletes or martial artists train in the cold prevalent in the middle of the winter. It's one of those little things that makes you appreciate these games more. It could also be a coincidence that the Machoke and Medicham are there as convenient options to aid in the fight against Candice's Ice-type Pokemon, but it's fun to think about it in a more intricate context.
===Gorebyss and Huntail's Defense===
Stats are usually straightforward. [[Rapidash]] is a horse. Horses are fast. Rapidash thus has a high speed stat. Stats can also be weird... but there's often logic behind them still. Usually, stats are dictated by a need for balance. This is why [[Purugly]]'s HP is so low while its speed is so high, even though you wouldn't think of a "fat" Pokemon being fast (it having too much HP wouldn't have differentiated it enough from its counterpart, [[Skuntank]], and would have been hell to deal with in the early part of D/P). Anyway, back to Gorebyss and Huntail. You've probably noticed that they both have base 105 defense. And you might be thinking it's strange, considering their previous evolution, [[Clamperl]], has a SHELL and only has base 80 defense. But there's a reason for this, and it's not balance. Both Gorebyss and Huntail are based on deep-sea fish: the snipe eel and gulper eel, respectively. Deep underwater, there's a lot of pressure, and animals that live there either need sturdy bones/shells or soft, flexible skin to resist said pressure. Gorebyss and Huntail's high defense stats reference their ability to resist deep-sea pressure.
===Trapinch's Attack===
This one should be more obvious to seasoned players of R/S and fans of the [[Flygon]] line. Nintendo is known for having a fascination with antlion larvae, which have appeared in some capacity across multiple franchises. Off the top of my head, there's {{smw|Priscilla the Peckish}} from the Mario universe, {{wk|Snipper}} from Kirby, and the {{smw|Sandworm}} from Wario. [[Trapinch]] is one such antlion larvae-based creation, and a lot of people love it. As many of you were, I was puzzled the first time I evolved my Trapinch into [[Vibrava]] and noticed its attack had decreased significantly. One might assume an error or glitch, but there's a reference in all of it. And it's a simple one... you see, antlion larvae are notorious predators that create sand pits (hence [[Sand Tomb]] being one of Trapinch's earliest known moves) that trap prey (usually ants, hence the name) by making it difficult for the prey to climb out. The trap's effectiveness is achieved thanks to the physics of sand... on an incline, the tiny grains of sand roll off of each other as the prey tries to climb out, and eventually the prey slips into the jaws of the larvae. When antlion larvae grow up, however, they're not nearly as aggressive (if I'm not mistaken, they don't even prey on other animals or aren't really able to), hence the attack drop.
===Trainer Team Explanations===
I was playing Platinum the other day and fought a [[Cameraman (Trainer class)|cameraman]] who had two [[Magneton]], a [[Mr. Mime]], and a [[Machamp]], and I thought about how the Pokemon on a trainer's team will often represent in some way their respective trainer's occupation. Cameramen use electric cameras; Magneton is machine-like and an electric-type. When filming, they may use gestures (voiceless, needless to say) to guide someone like a reporter or actor; [[Mr. Mime]] is based on mimes, who are known for these kinds of movements. Cameras and other recording equipment are very heavy; [[Machamp]] is very strong and can lift such equipment. The [[Reporter (Trainer class)|reporter]] similarly used Pokemon relevant to her tasks; her [[Drifblim]] referenced the phenomenon of broadcasting news on blimps and being "everywhere at once", and her [[Luxray]] referenced her showiness and the moves Luxray learns like [[Roar]] and [[Swagger]] complement the reporter's use of their voice to effect their audiences (I did not misspell affect there, by the way).

Some are more obvious, such as [[Biker (Trainer class)|bikers]] using Koffing and Weezing in reference to the gas emissions from their bikes and Grimer and Muk to reference the lubricants bikes and other vehicles require, as well as the sludge that occurs as a byproduct of these lubricants burning and mixing with fragments of plastic and iron inside the bike's engine.

'''Sceptile''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ジュカイン''' ''Jukain'') is a {{type|Grass}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation III]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Grovyle}} starting at [[level]] 36. It is the final form of {{p|Treecko}}.

Sceptile can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into '''Mega Sceptile''' using the [[Sceptilite]].

==Biology==
[[File:Sceptile wall.png|thumb|left|250px|Sceptile climbing a wall]]
Sceptile is a reptilian, bipedal {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. Its neck is somewhat long, and it has two crests on its head. It has semicircular, yellow eyes with red rims. Its lower jaw and a belt-like band across its waist are also red. Along its back, it has two lines running down the middle and two rows of yellow nodules that are described as seeds. Its tail is shaped similar to that of a palm tree's branch. Both of its long arms have two sharp, elongated leaves and three claws. In [[Generation III]], {{m|Leaf Blade}} was its [[signature move]].

As Mega Sceptile, its head crests become more pointed with a round portion missing from the middle. Red marking surrounds its eyes, which become smaller and more narrow. The yellow seeds down its back grow larger. The last pair of seeds turn red, while the pair above it turns orange. Red stripes encircle the base of its tail and run across its lower belly. The leaves on its wrists become more pointed, and the upper ones have red tips and half-circles cut out of the middles. Covering its chest and shoulders are plates of leaves similar to those that form its tail. Mega Sceptile's tail grows longer and develops a red stinger at the tip. Mega Sceptile can cut off a portion of its tail to fire it like a missile at an opponent. Its lost tail will continue regenerating as long as it still has the energy required for Mega Evolution.<ref name="Mega">https://web.archive.org/web/20150207095123/http://www.pokemonrubysapphire.com/en-us/pokemon/starter-pokemon/starter-pokemon</ref>

Sceptile is a {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Forest Pokémon|jungle}} Pokémon. The seeds on its back contain nutrients, which are said to be able to revitalize trees. It is capable of leaping freely from branch to branch. While it has the ability to slice down thick trees, it is known to care lovingly for the plants in the forest. This Pokémon regulates its body temperature by basking in the sunlight.

==Trivia==
* [[Mega Evolution|Mega]] Sceptile has the highest base {{stat|Special Attack}} stat and base stat total of all {{type|Grass}} Pokémon, as well as the highest base {{stat|Speed}} stat of all {{type|Dragon}} Pokémon.

===Origin===
{{bulbanews|On the Origin of Species: Treecko, Grovyle and Sceptile}}
Appearance-wise, this Pokémon resembles ''{{wp|Dilophosaurus}}'', a {{wp|dinosaur}}. The orbs of nutrients on its back may be based on the reproductive spores of {{wp|fern}} species or based on the fact that many {{wp|legume|leguminous plants}} have nitrogen stored in nodes on their roots. The leaves on the tail in combination with the brightly-colored orbs on its back also create a strong resemblance to both the {{wp|yew|yew tree}} and various members of the genus ''{{wp|Podocarpus}}''. The Treecko line's appearance and mannerisms are also strongly derived from {{wp|Uroplatus|leaf-tailed geckos}}. Sceptile's green skin and red jaw seem to take inspiration from {{wp|Anolis carolinensis|male green anoles}}, whose dewlaps inflate and turn red to show dominance.

Its ability to launch its tail while in its [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolved]] form may be a reference to {{wp|autotomy}}, a method of self-defense in which many animals, like reptiles, shed off their own appendages, which they can later regenerate. It may also be a reference to {{wp|rocket launcher}}s, with its tree-like tail also resembling a rocket.

====Name origin====
Sceptile may be a combination of ''{{wp|sceptre|scepter}}'', referring to its status as the "forest king"; ''{{wp|scissors}}'', referring to the blades on its wrists; or ''{{wp|Sceptridium}}'', a genus of grape-ferns; and ''{{wp|reptile}}''.

Jukain may derive from 樹海 ''jukai'' (abundant leafage; dense woodland).

'''Grovyle''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ジュプトル''' ''Juptile'') is a {{type|Grass}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation III]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Treecko}} starting at [[level]] 16 and evolves into {{p|Sceptile}} starting at level 36.

==Biology==
Grovyle is a bipedal {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} similar in appearance to a {{wp|Theropoda|theropod}} dinosaur. It is primarily green with a red underside. There is a belt-like green stripe across its belly. Grovyle's hands have two clawed fingers and powerful legs with birdlike feet. Its well-developed muscles make it an expert climber and allow it to leap quickly from branch to branch. Grovyle has three long leaves on its wrists, a large leaf on top of its head, and two tails that have a leafy appearance. This leafy appearance allows it to be camouflaged in the {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Forest Pokémon|forests}} where it lives. In [[Generation III]], {{m|Leaf Blade}} was its [[signature move]].

==In the anime==
===Main series===
[[File:Sawyer Grovyle.png|thumb|250px|Grovyle in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]
====Major appearances====
=====[[Ash's Grovyle]]=====

=====[[Grovyle (Explorers of Time, Darkness, and Sky)]]=====
At the start of ''[[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time & Darkness]]'', a Grovyle stole one of the [[Time Gear]]s. He later had a much larger role in ''[[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky - Beyond Time & Darkness]]''.

=====[[Sawyer's Grovyle]]=====
In ''[[XY075|Rivals: Today and Tomorrow!]]'', [[Sawyer]]'s Treecko evolved into Grovyle during a {{pkmn|battle}} against {{Ash}} and his {{AP|Frogadier}}. It was later revealed to have evolved into a Sceptile before ''[[XY106|A Meeting of Two Journeys!]]''.

=====Other=====
In ''[[AG041|What You Seed is What You Get]]'', [[Natasha]] used a Grovyle and a {{p|Slugma}} in a [[Double Battle]] against [[Ash's Corphish]] and Treecko. Working as a team, they were able to defeat Ash's Pokémon.

===Pokémon Adventures===
{{main|Emerald's Sceptile}}
The Treecko meant to be handed to {{adv|Emerald}} was recovered by {{adv|Wally}} and became a Grovyle in ''[[PS241|Dreadful Dealing with Dusclops]]'' to rescue his temporary owner when a wild {{p|Dusclops}} threatened to suck them into its infinite cavity. After a few more weeks of training at the [[Sky Pillar]] under [[Norman]], he was able to awaken the ancient legendary Pokémon {{p|Rayquaza}}, but the huge gust of wind sent him flying miles away into a distant island where he evolved again to a Sceptile and was this time caught by [[Guile Hideout]], who smuggled him into the {{OBP|Battle Factory|Generation III}} to try to drive the nosy press away. He ended up being stolen by his legitimate owner, Emerald, and became a fixed member of his team.

Emerald had borrowed a Grovyle during his Factory challenge in ''[[PS306|Pinsir Me, I Must Be Dreaming]]'', it should not be confused with his Sceptile. This Grovyle, like the other Factory Pokémon, is at [[level]] 50.

==Trivia==

===Origin===
{{bulbanews|On the Origin of Species: Treecko, Grovyle and Sceptile}}
Appearance-wise, Grovyle resembles the {{wp|dinosaur}} known as the ''{{wp|Dromaeosaurus}}''. It is believed that the dinosaur had feathers, much like how Grovyle has leaves on its body - the leaves on its tail are especially similar to the tails of {{wp|Epidexipteryx}}, which only had short tails that supported much larger feathers. Its design could be based on a ''{{wp|Protarchaeopteryx}}''. Like the other members of its evolutionary line, Grovyle's design shares some similarities with the {{wp|Uroplatus|leaf-tailed gecko}}, a species of {{wp|lizard}} that blends in with plantlike appendages. Its green skin and red underside seem to take inspiration from {{wp|Anolis carolinensis|male green anoles}}, whose dewlaps inflate and turn red to show dominance.

====Name origin====
Grovyle may be a combination of ''grove'' (a group of trees), ''reptile'', and possibly ''vine'' or ''ivy''.

Juptile may be a combination of 樹 ''ju'' (tree) and ''reptile'' or ''{{wp|Dromaeosauridae|raptor}}''.

'''Treecko''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''キモリ''' ''Kimori'') is a {{type|Grass}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation III]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Grovyle}} starting at [[level]] 16, which evolves into {{p|Sceptile}} starting at [[level]] 36.

Along with {{p|Torchic}} and {{p|Mudkip}}, Treecko is one of three [[starter Pokémon]] of [[Hoenn]] available at the beginning of [[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire Versions|Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire]], {{v2|Emerald}}, [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire|Omega Ruby, and Alpha Sapphire]].

==Biology==
Treecko is a small, green, bipedal reptilian {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. It has yellow eyes with long, narrow pupils. Treecko's hands and feet each have three digits covered with tiny spikes. These spikes allow it to scale vertical walls with ease. Its stomach and throat are red. It also has a line across its stomach resembling a pouch. Treecko has a large, dark green tail with two separate lobes that it uses to sense humidity. This ability allows it to predict the next day's weather.

Treecko is rarely found in the wild and is more common in captivity. However, when in the wild, Treecko lives inside {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Forest Pokémon|overgrown forests}}. It makes its home in tall trees and will attack anyone that comes near its nest. Because of its territorial nature, it is known to be the protector of the forest's trees. Treecko is known for its calm and collected personality. It will never panic under any circumstances, even when faced with a bigger foe.

When he was finally destined to meet his partner, the huge rainstorms caused by {{p|Kyogre}} sent him and the final Hoenn Pokédex drifting away, and after he had finally been recovered by {{adv|Wally}} and evolved, he was sent flying away and was lost again, even after the Pokédex was returned. Evolving again into a Sceptile, he was this time caught in the wild by [[Guile Hideout]] and stolen by his proper owner, {{adv|Emerald}}.

==Trivia==
[[Image:Treecko concept art.png|thumb|200px|Concept art of Treecko]]
* Concept art showed numerous designs of Treecko resembling real-world geckos.

===Origin===
{{bulbanews|On the Origin of Species: Treecko, Grovyle and Sceptile}}
Treecko resembles a {{wp|gecko}}. Its design specifically shares some similarities with the {{wp|Uroplatus|leaf-tailed gecko}}, a species of {{wp|lizard}} that blends in with plantlike appendages and can also climb up flat surfaces. Its green skin and red underside seem to take inspiration from {{wp|Anolis carolinensis|male green anoles}}, whose dewlaps inflate and turn red to show dominance.

====Name origin====
Treecko may be a combination of ''tree'' and ''{{wp|gecko}}''.

Kimori may be a combination of 木 ''ki'' (tree) and 森 ''mori'' (forest), 守宮 ''yamori'' (gecko), or 守り ''mori'' (keeper).

'''Ursaring''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''リングマ''' ''Ringuma'') is a {{type|Normal}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation II]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Teddiursa}} starting at [[level]] 30.

In [[Hisui]], it evolves into {{p|Ursaluna}} when exposed to a [[Peat Block]] during a [[Time#Time-based evolutions|full moon]]. It is not known to evolve into any other Pokémon in other regions.

==Biology==
Ursaring is a bipedal, {{wp|bear|ursine}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. Its broad body is covered in brown fur, except for its muzzle, inner ears, and paw pads, which are a light tan. It has narrow eyes, a triangular, black nose, and a wide mouth with small, visible fangs in the upper jaw. The fur on Ursaring's shoulders is longer and more structured, with rectangular extensions. A female Ursaring has longer fur on its shoulders than a male. There is a large, tan, ring-shaped mark shaped like a new moon on its chest. Ursaring's forelimbs are long, ending in five claws each, while its hind legs are short and thick, ending in three claws each. Its tail is large and spherical in shape.

Ursaring lives in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Mountain Pokémon|mountainous forests}}, sleeping in treetops and gathering food throughout the day. While it is skilled at climbing trees, it gathers food by snapping them and collecting whatever {{berries}} or fruits fall down. It will mark trees bearing delicious fruit in its territory with its claws. Ursaring is also known to regularly eat honey, which is its favorite food. Ursaring's sense of smell can distinguish any aroma, and as such, it can find food buried deep underground or in streams. It will also search for food during the winter season. As demonstrated [[AG057|in the anime]], Ursaring is highly protective of its cubs, and [[EP155|has been shown]] to become more aggressive during mating season. It also becomes more ferocious when it is hungry. Ursaring are known to get into fights with {{p|Primeape}} when they encounter each other while searching for berries. When exposed to [[Peat Block|peat]] found in [[Hisui]] during a full moon, Ursaring can evolve into {{p|Ursaluna}}.

==Trivia==
* Ursaring and {{p|Donphan}}, along with their pre-evolved forms, are the only Pokémon to swap version-exclusive status between localizations. While Teddiursa and Ursaring are found only in the Japanese and Korean Silver, they are not found in Silver in other languages, being found in the Gold Version of those languages instead, with Phanpy and Donphan getting the opposite treatment. This is changed in the remakes {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, where they follow the Japanese and Korean Gold and Silver.
* Ursaring's number of claws has changed over time and between [[canon]]s. In its original artwork, Ursaring has four visible claws; however, in the anime and in its HeartGold and SoulSilver artwork, it has five claws. In the Generation II games, it has three claws. From {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}} up to and including {{game|Platinum}}, it has four claws. From HeartGold and SoulSilver onwards, Ursaring has had five claws in its game sprites. In the anime, it has always had five claws.
* Ursaring, {{p|Stantler}}, and [[Regional form|Hisuian]] {{p|Qwilfish}}'s evolution requirements, as well as {{p|Scyther}}'s evolution into {{p|Kleavor}} are all programmed into [[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet]] and are even affected by the [[Eviolite]] item. However, the methods are turned off, preventing the Pokémon from evolving. Ursaring is programmed to evolve into Ursaluna through usage of a Peat Block.

===Origin===
Ursaring appears to be based on {{wp|bear}}s, such as the {{wp|brown bear}} and {{wp|Asian black bear}}. The latter is known in Japanese as ツキノワグマ ''tsukinowaguma'', literally "ring-of-the-moon bear". Ursaring's rectangular shoulder fur resemble [[wikipedia:Fringe (trim)|fringe]]s of {{wp|buckskins}} or {{wp|epaulette}}s.

====Name origin====
Ursaring may be a combination of ''ursa'' (Latin for bear) and ''ring''.

'''Iron Treads''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''テツノワダチ''' ''Tetsunowadachi'') is a dual-type {{2t|Ground|Steel}} [[Paradox Pokémon]] introduced in [[Generation IX]].

It is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon, but it appears to be a futuristic relative of {{p|Donphan}}.

==Biology==
Iron Treads is a large quadrupedal Pokémon with a spherical gray metallic body and a black underbelly. On its face are a pair of short black tusks and a black half-moon pixelated screen, which usually displays a pattern of a pair of angry red eyes; underneath them is a metal plate that can be retracted to reveal its mouth. Its most prominent physical feature is a segmented tread jutting out from its back, and extending to the front of its face. This tread is black in color, and has bright red glowing patterns accenting it. Iron Treads also has long black plate-like earlobes, and metal plates covering its legs.

Iron Treads is said to have a cruel nature. Iron Treads is capable of curling its body and rolling like a wheel to attack. The trails it leaves behind is described to be similar to scorched earth.<ref>(November 8, 2022). "[https://scarletviolet.pokemon.com/en-us/news/books/ The Scarlet Book and the Violet Book]." Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet Official Website</ref> It also reportedly fatally injuring one of the explorers of an expedition in the past. According to the paranormal magazine "Occulture", Iron Treads resembles a scientific weapon that is said to be sent by aliens.

A {{pkmn2|giant}} Iron Treads, known as the Quaking Earth Titan, is one of the [[Titan Pokémon]] found in the [[Paldea]] region.

Talk:Move variations/Archive 1

2022-12-02T02:36:00Z

Blue Ninjakoopa: /* Concept of move variations is too broad */

== Template? ==

This page was an excellent idea, but I wonder if there's a way to indicate in each move's article when it belongs to one of these "archetypes". --[[User:Johans|Johans Nidorino]] 21:10, 19 May 2007 (UTC)

I suggested it but it was forgotten later on; and unfortunately, I don't know how to make templates. -([[User:Llxwarbirdxll|Llxwarbirdxll]] 02:35, 29 May 2007 (UTC))
:Template namespace. I'll whip one up. --'''[[User:TTEchidna|T]][[User talk:TTEchidna|T]][[wp:Echidna|Echidna]]''' 02:53, 29 May 2007 (UTC)
::Maybe this is not the right place to suggest, but take a look at the template (Flamethrower as an example):
{| align="center" class="toccolours" cellspacing="2" style="border: 3px solid #88a; border-radius:20px; -moz-border-radius:20px;"
|-
! colspan="2" style="background: #ccf; border: border-radius:20px; -moz-border-radius:20px; padding: 2px 15px;" | [[Move variations|Variations]] of the move {{m|Flamethrower}}
|- style="font-size:90%;" align="center"
| {{ic|Special}}
| {{mcolor|Flamethrower|{{fire color}}}} | {{mcolor|Ice Beam|{{ice color dark}}}} | {{mcolor|Sludge Wave|{{poison color dark}}}} | {{mcolor|Thunderbolt|{{electric color dark}}}}
|}
::Flamethrower mentioned twice, while there is no actual link to ''Variations of Flamethrower''. I believe it will be better this way:

{| align="center" class="toccolours" cellspacing="2" style="border: 3px solid #88a; border-radius:20px; -moz-border-radius:20px;"
|-
! colspan="2" style="background: #ccf; border: border-radius:20px; -moz-border-radius:20px; padding: 2px 15px;" | [[Move_variations#Variations_of_Flamethrower|Variations of the move Flamethrower]]:
|- style="font-size:90%;" align="center"
| {{ic|Special}}
| {{mcolor|Flamethrower|{{fire color}}}} | {{mcolor|Ice Beam|{{ice color dark}}}} | {{mcolor|Sludge Wave|{{poison color dark}}}} | {{mcolor|Thunderbolt|{{electric color dark}}}}
|}
::--[[User:ЫъГЬ|ЫъГЬ]] 11:09, 10 December 2010 (UTC)
:::I agree. It does make more sense that way. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 11:12, 10 December 2010 (UTC)

== New Variation ==

There neeeds to be a Move Variation for the Following moves:
* {{m|Psybeam}}
* {{m|BubbleBeam}}
* {{m|Aurora Beam}}
* {{m|Sludge}}
* {{m|Spark}}
I have checked them all out and they each have:
* Power: 65
* Accuracy: 100%
* PP: 20
P.S. I don't know how to do this myself so really I'm asking for somebody to do this for me!
[[User:Tesh|Tesh]] 16:53, 13 July 2007 (UTC)

Actually, I'm not sure if this should be counted as they each have a different added effect, either a [[status ailment]] or a [[stat]] change. Somebody gie me their:view...[[User:Tesh|Tesh]] 20:32, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
:Maybe keep the status-changing ones together, and keep the stat-changing ones together, but keep them separate. That means {{m|Psybeam}}, {{m|Sludge}}, and {{m|Spark}} go together, and {{m|BubbleBeam}} and {{m|Aurora Beam}} go together.
:And don't forget to use the {{template|m}} template for moves. '''[[User:TTEchidna|T]][[User talk:TTEchidna|T]][[wp:Echidna|Echidna]]''' 00:22, 17 July 2007 (UTC)
By the way, I think you've got the wrong idea. I'm not sure on how to create the move variation. I only realised they were similar... [[User:Tesh|Tesh]] 15:34, 18 July 2007 (UTC)

== "Or" ==

Is "10 or 15" valid [[Move variations#Variations of Shadow Ball|here]]? I'd say the use of every possible move variation no matter the amount of PPs it has would require a redefinition. BTW, {{m|Ice Beam}} and {{m|Thunder}} don't belong in the tables they've been introduced in if following the original criterion. --[[User:Johans|Johans]] 05:04, 22 July 2007 (UTC)

Sorry, I put those there. I'll have them removed. [[User:Llxwarbirdxll|Llxwarbirdxll]] 08:20, 28 July 2007 (UTC)

:LOL, now somebody else did the same with variations of Slash, Waterfall, and Shadow Ball :P --[[User:Johans|Johans]] 16:08, 7 September 2007 (UTC)

People are no longer respecting the "PPs" part of the definition. With "Variations of Flamethrower" the article mentions neither 15 nor 10 now. If this is going to continue, maybe Bulbapedia's definition on "move variations" should no longer include PPs, which seems to be the least important of the three columns. --[[User:Johans|Johans]] 18:35, 5 July 2008 (UTC)

== Seismic Toss and Night Shade? ==

Those belong on the list, right?
[[User:Angerman|Angerman]] 20:10, 15 August 2007 (UTC)
:Doesn't {{m|Night Shade}} do somewhere from 1 to 1.5x the level? I know {{m|Seismic Toss}} does the level. '''[[User:TTEchidna|T]][[User talk:TTEchidna|T]][[wp:Echidna|Echidna]]''' 23:07, 15 August 2007 (UTC)
::No, Psywave does from 0.5 to 1.5x the level. But Night Shade always does damage equal to the level. --[[User:Shiny Noctowl|Shiny Noctowl]] 23:11, 15 August 2007 (UTC)
:Still, they don't have the same amout of default total PPs. --[[User:Johans|Johans]] 01:53, 16 August 2007 (UTC)
::They're stretching it nowadays though. Hmm...{{m|Zap Cannon}} and {{m|DynamicPunch}}... [[User:Ht14|'''''ht''''']][[User talk:Ht14|''14'']] 22:11, 19 July 2009 (UTC)
Well, I'm sure {{m|Stone Edge}} and {{m|Cross Chop}} are variations. [[User:Angerman|Angerman]] 07:00, 24 August 2007 (UTC)
:Definitely ^_^ --[[User:Johans|Johans]] 16:46, 24 August 2007 (UTC)

==Stub?==
Is it Still a stub?--[[User:Torchic-ken|Torchic-ken]] 2:58, 28 August 2007 (UTC)
:Yeah, there's a few missing bits. [[User:Angerman|Angerman]] 00:10, 6 September 2007 (UTC)

== Mean Look/Block/Spider Web? ==

I noticed there isn't a section for these three moves, and while Block and Mean Look fit a "5 PP, Prevents foe from escaping" description, Spider Web only has one thing setting them apart and that's the PP issue. Should I add it anyway? [[User:TinaTheKirlia|TinaTheKirlia]] 01:47, 7 September 2007 (UTC)
:Add only Mean Look and Block. That's what has been done in these cases to agree with the current definition of "move archetypes". --[[User:Johans|Johans]] 08:01, 7 September 2007 (UTC)

== Counter and Mirror Coat? ==

I'm really surprised no one did this - they both have 10PP, varying power, 100% accuracy and they both go last and counter the foe's attack at two times the power. I was trying to find a good way to summarize it though - how's this? "Goes last and counters the move used by the foe at twice the power". [[User:TinaTheKirlia|Tina]][[User talk:TinaTheKirlia|The]][[Kirlia (Pokémon)|Kirlia]] ♥ 21:23, 6 October 2007 (UTC)
:That works. '''[[User:TTEchidna|TTE]][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]]''' 23:41, 6 October 2007 (UTC)

== Softboiled and Milk Drink ==

Even though they're listed under variations of Recover.. they both can do something Recover can not -- heal other Pokémon's HP outside of battle. I think this deserves a mention. :P [[User:Tina|Tina]] [[Special:Contributions/Tina|δ]][[User talk:Tina|♫]] 18:58, 29 December 2007 (UTC)

== Contests? ==

I think it would be incredibly useful to have a version of this page for contests, since many of the moves do the exact same things.
Thoughts...? [[User:Maki|Maki]] 13:47, 19 March 2008 (UTC)
:I agree. However it'd have to be set up differently. It'd be like... effect, cute moves, beauty moves, smart moves, tough moves, cool moves. '''[[User:TTEchidna|''TTE'']][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]]Fire echy''' 20:49, 21 March 2008 (UTC)

== Blizzard ==

Are Magma Storm and Focus Blast ''really'' variations of Blizzard? Neither inflict a status ailment and Magma Storm sounds more like a multi-turn move. The only similarities seem to be 120 power

Also, I think Thunder should be added as a variation. It has 10 PP, not 5, but it causes a status ailment, has 120 power and 70 accuracy. [[User:Drake Clawfang|Drake Clawfang]] 20:28, 21 March 2008 (UTC)
:Thunder and Blizzard also have their accuracy at 100% when used during a specific weather condition. Magma Storm seems most like Outrage, though that goes 2-3 turns, and Focus Blast is just... its own thing. Not ''every'' move has a counterpart, that's what people need to remember. '''[[User:TTEchidna|''TTE'']][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]]Fire echy''' 20:38, 21 March 2008 (UTC)
::That's what I mean, a lot of the moves I mentioned, as well as Hydro Pump, Seed Flare and Fire Blast are all ''similar'', but variations of each other? I'd say they're similar moves, but not direct variations. [[User:Drake Clawfang|Drake Clawfang]] 20:40, 21 March 2008 (UTC)
:::Yes. Variations: Do the same thing. Similarity: have the same PP, power, or accuracy but don't do the same thing. Outrage and Thrash are variations, despite Outrage now being 120 power. Focus Blast and Blizzard are not because all they share is accuracy and power. '''[[User:TTEchidna|''TTE'']][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]]Fire echy''' 21:21, 21 March 2008 (UTC)
::::So, should we move some of the moves I mentioned around? That's what I've been suggesting. I think Magma Storm should be grouped with Outrage and Thrash, and Blizzard, Thunder and Gunk Shot should be in a group. Maybe Seed Flare and Focus Blast too, their effects are identical except for accuracy. [[User:Drake Clawfang|Drake Clawfang]] 00:39, 22 March 2008 (UTC)

==Order==
Why aren't they in alphabetical order? {{u|MathijsP}}
:Beats me. Last time I organized them I put them in order by damage. '''[[User:TTEchidna|''TTE'']][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]]''' 01:59, 20 April 2008 (UTC)

==Dragon Claw, X-Scissor, Seed Bomb==

Aren't these all variations? They all do 80 damage, have 15 PP, and no added effect. Can I add them? --[[User:Dark Sage|Dark Sage]] 18:25, 12 June 2008 (UTC)
:You forget to mention the accuracy, but it happens that it's the same! So yeah, they're move variations. --[[User:Johans|Johans]] 18:20, 12 June 2008 (UTC)
Great. I guess I'll add them now. --[[User:Dark Sage|Dark Sage]] 18:25, 12 June 2008 (UTC)

Actually, I don't think I know how to do the template. Can someone else do that? --[[User:Dark Sage|Dark Sage]] 18:27, 12 June 2008 (UTC)

== This page needs work ==

First of all, should PP be accounted for or not? Right now, some do and some don't. I don't really care which one we go with, so long as it's consistent.

Second, effects are not being grouped together consistently either. Example: Spark has a 30% chance of inducing Paralyze. Psybeam has a 10% chance of inducing Confusion. 30 != 10. Another example: Flamethrower has a 10% chance of inducing Burn. Surf has 0% chance of inducing anything at all, and has a different target range on top of that. Also, the diffence between "Acid Armor variations" and "Amnesia variations"? Ignoring the PP difference (the Acid Armor variations already do this anyway), who really cares if they raise Special stats or not? You could just as easily group them by Defense or Attack stats. On the other hand, I say just go with "raises a stat by two stages" and leave it at that.

Third, I do not think "non-[http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/volatile volatile]" means what you think it means. Why not just put "non-damaging effect" or something else a bit more clear and grammatically correct? [[User:Dragoness|Dragoness]] 04:57, 12 January 2009 (UTC)

:I never thought PP should be accounted for. A lot of the moves might have the same PP but if all the important other stuff is the same, the moves are pretty much variations! [[User:Toastypk|'''''~Toastypk''''']] - [[User_Talk:Toastypk|'''Loom.''']] 05:06, 12 January 2009 (UTC)

::If there's only one thing different about a move variation, it can still be considered a variation.

[[User:Chocolate|Chocolate]] ([[User talk:Chocolate|Chat with Me]]) 00:44, 13 January 2009 (UTC)
:::Actually, you could argue that Surf is a variation of Earthquake, since they have the same range and the same effect (none). Surf has more PP and less power, but it also has two things different from Flamethrower: range and effect. See? You can't just go "Oh they're close ENOUGH", you have to pick your criteria and stick with it. Either effect counts or it doesn't count. Either range counts or it doesn't count. Either PP counts or it doesn't count. If you start flubbing things, that's only going to make things more complicated down the line. [[User:Dragoness|Dragoness]] 03:23, 13 January 2009 (UTC)

::::I don't think there needs to be a set of rigid rules for move variations. By definition, variation implies differing conditions, character, and degree. That said, I do think that a move variations should have identical or ''very'' similar effects. PP and base power are relatively unimportant to me, when two moves have unique identical effects. Consider Bind, Fire Spin, and Whirlpool: they are all multi-turn attacks that trap their foe. They work exactly the same, and have relatively unique effects (only a handful of moves work like this). However, Bulbapedia currently only considers Fire Spin and Whirlpool as "variations". — [[User:Laoris|Laoris]] ([[User_Talk:Laoris|Blah]]) 03:18, 14 January 2009 (UTC)
:::::I think that trapping should have its own page. It's not as if the creators sat around and thought, "Hey, wouldn't it be cool to have a clone of this move for that element?" I think the process was more like, "Hey, why not have this as a mechanic?" --[[User:Raijinili|Raijinili]] 05:12, 14 January 2009 (UTC)
:::::Minor problem with that though. Ember, Flamethrower and Fire Blast (and probably others but those are the big ones) all have a 10% chance of causing burn. Moreover, they're all Fire attacks. If we go solely by effect, then that makes them variations of each other. So then we have moves that are multiple variations in one. Is that really ok? I mean, I can see it going either way...

:::::One possibility is to split it into two things, where there are moves that are strictly exact copies of each other minus type and specific effect (not % chance of effect though, that has to say the same), and then other moves that just do the same thing but are not exact copies. Like, if I want to look for moves that cause Burn, there could be a category that I could go to and look there, and likewise for moves that cause trapping, or moves that hit everyone on the field. Does that sound reasonable? [[User:Dragoness|Dragoness]] 01:14, 15 January 2009 (UTC)

::::::I'm not talking about secondary effects like 10% of burn or confusion. I agree that there should be a [[list of moves that burn]] (not a category, unfortunately), but I don't think they should be considered variations. In my mind, examples of move variations are moves that have some unique game mechanic, such as {{m|Wrap|multi-turn}} {{m|Magma Storm|trapping}} {{m|Sand Tomb|moves}}, {{m|Fly|moves with}} {{m|Dig|an initial}} {{m|Shadow Force|invulnerable}} {{m|Dive|turn}}, {{m|Block|moves that}} {{m|Spider Web|prevent}} {{m|Mean Look|escape}}, or {{m|Protect|moves that can negate}} {{m|Detect|all negative effects}}—Moves that work so similarly that there are, for example, abilities that negate the set of them or moves that counter-act a set of them. These should be considered move variations. — [[User:Laoris|Laoris]] ([[User_Talk:Laoris|Blah]]) 01:33, 15 January 2009 (UTC)

Starting tabs over.

I've always considered anything that does not cause damage on an otherwise damaging move to be a secondary effect so I think we are going to differ in thought there, unfortunately. Example: Razor Wind requires charging, has a high crit rate and deals damage, so the charging and high crit rate are both secondary effects. Screech causes only Defense down, so Defense down is the primary effect.

Taking each thing in turn, I don't think that just because Wrap and Magma Storm both cause multi-turn trapping is enough for them to be considered variations. They ought to have a page specifying this, but this does not make them variations, in the same way as Ember and Flamethrower. Ditto with with the semi-invulnerable moves. They are different enough (note which moves can hit which during the invulnerable turn, not to mention Power) to warrant an obviously acknowledged ''similarity'' but not actual variations.

As for your last two examples, those moves DO essentially do the exact same thing in every way, with the exception of PP, so I think, if we decide to exclude PP from the criteria (which I am fairly convinced we ought to do by now), then yes, I would consider those move variations.

(Somewhat off-topic, why not a category instead of a page? Then there would be links from the moves pages themselves, so they can actually be found... The Pokédex has tons of categories, I've noticed...) [[User:Dragoness|Dragoness]] 02:14, 15 January 2009 (UTC)
:Also, {{m|Mud-Slap}} and {{m|Sand-Attack}} are both Ground moves with a 100% chance of lowering Accuracy, and this can be prevented by abilities such as {{a|Keen Eye}}, but they're still clearly not variations of each other, right? (Asking because I consider Wrap and Bind and the like to be moves with 100% chance of causing trapping) [[User:Dragoness|Dragoness]] 02:24, 15 January 2009 (UTC)
::Why aren't Wrap and Magma Storm variations? They have the same primary effects (inflict damage over several turns at the end of each turn) and secondary effects (trap target during those turns). (Though there's no official source ordering those as primary and secondary; they could just as easily be reversed.) I realize that Ember and Flamethrower also have the same primary and secondary effects, but another issue I pointed out above is ''unique game-mechanics''. There are a hundred moves that have the same primary effect as Ember and Flamethrower (inflict damage) and very similar secondary effects (10% of a major status ailment). However, there are only 5 moves that work like Wrap and Magma Storm. I think that makes them remarkable enough to be noted as move variations.
::Since the definition of variation means details can vary. That means we could consider numerous damaging moves to be variations of each other. But I don't think it's notable if they don't have something that sets them apart from other moves.

:::It seems to me like what you want would be better expressed in a different page, like "Moves that cause the same unique effects" ...Okay, "same unique" is a bit oxymoronic, but you know what I mean. ^^;

:::The reason I chose Mud-Slap and Sand-Attack as examples is because they ARE unique, in that Accuracy is not a standard stat, and there are only 5 moves that lower accuracy (and none that raise it, I think): Mud-Slap, Sand-Attack, {{m|Flash}}, {{m|Mirror Shot}}, and {{m|Muddy Water}}, but these are clearly not similar in any other way but that. (Asides from Flash and Sand-Attack, I would consider those variations of the other, with Gen IV's de-nerfing of Flash.) This page seems to have been created to illustrate which moves have only minor differences, with Power, Accuracy and % effect and PP cited specifically as things that must be the same. No matter which way you cut it, the only thing Wrap and Magma Storm have in common is their secondary multi-turn trapping effect, and I consider multi-turn trapping damage to be a single secondary effect (You are never going to have one of those moves inflict one without the other). Primary effect defaults to damage except for moves that do not ever deal damage. The game even categorizes them as Physical [[Image:PhysicalIC.gif]] and Special [[Image:SpecialIC.gif]], not Status [[Image:StatusIC.gif]]. You can cite their uniqueness, but there are only so many moves that do unique, specific things, like Burn, or charge, or high-crit, but then you'll end up with almost every move out there having at least one if not multiple variations. If you want to get really unique, {{m|Flame Wheel}} and {{m|Sacred Fire}} are the only moves that can thaw out their user. That makes them variations according to your definition, but they have nothing in common according to the definition already defined on this page.

There's more to this page than just "Oh, it looks similar or has similar accuracy/PP/Power/type!" There's reasons that most of these aren't on there.

And yeah, Leaf Blade ''used'' to be in both categories. It's not anymore. It has more power than Slash. The only ones that I can find that have different powers as of Gen IV are the Petal Dance variations. I'll see what I can do about that too.

Peck and Tackle aren't variations. Especially in generation V, where Tackle received a BP of 50. Myself, I would put Peck with Vine Whip, because they both have 35 BP, 100% accuracy and no special effect. Their PP, however, differs significantly, but does that really matter?

== Definition ==

The definition isn't specific enough. "Move variations are moves that are identical to each other in terms of damage, PP, and accuracy, but have different elemental types, damage categories, or secondary effects." The definition works for damaging moves but according to it almost all status moves that have the same PP are variations of each other.

:How about something like, Status move variations are moves that raise or decrease the same number of stats by the same number of levels.

== Thrash, Petal Dance, and Outrage ==

Here's my question. Thrash and Petal Dance are grouped together, but Outrage is not included only because is has 15 PP instead of 10. This difference seems minor to me, and so I think Outrage should be insluded in this group, with a note on it. If this doesn't work, then it doesn't work, but I know for a fact that most people focos on the actual move and its effects, not the PP it has. There are even people in this talk (although from 2 years ago lol) that group them together, and I know that most people think they are the same move with different types, especially now that they have the same power in Gen V. --[[User:Jdthebud|Jdthebud]] 23:11, 8 November 2010 (UTC)

== PP shouldn't be taken into account ==

Taking the PP into account makes the list messier and more incomplete. They are also not the most important aspect anyway ingame: it doesn't really matter if a move has 35 PP or 40 PP. Seperating Night Slash from Slash, for example, causes an unnecesary amount of slots.--[[User:Grrgrrgrr1000|Grrgrrgrr1000]] 15:44, 14 November 2010 (UTC)
:I agree 100%. PP is such a minor detail, it shouldn't even matter. The important thing is base power, similar or identical side effects, and accuracy. Any move that only serves to boost a stat by two stages is a variation of Acid Armor. Well, I'm not entirely sure on Body Purge, given its other effect of halving the user's weight, but still. My point is, PP shouldn't be taken into account. - ''unsigned comment from [[User:Missingno. Master|Missingno. Master]] ([[User talk:Missingno.

Hasn't it been confirmed that the Oath moves can be used in any order to produce the same effect? Each individual page should be updated accordingly.

== Ignore base power differences, if the rest of the move is similar? ==

There may be one or two other examples of this, but the main one I'm thinking about is Zap Cannon in relation to DynamicPunch and Purgatory. Just because the base power of Zap was increased to 120 shouldn't disqualify it from being a variation of the other two moves, because they all have the same, and probably more important and notable properties of 50% accuracy and the guaranteed infliction of a status ailment (type/ability permitting).

Also, as an aside, why disqualify Surf from being similar to Tbolt, Flamer, Ice Beam and Slime Wave? It's also the Base 95, fully accurate move of it's type... '''[[User:TheChrisD|TheChrisD]]''' [[User_talk:TheChrisD|Rants]]•[[Special:Contributions/TheChrisD|Edits]] 02:21, 25 January 2011 (UTC)

::Still though, it does mean that they all have a secondary effect, simply because one of those effects does not actually inflict a status ailment shouldn't be enough to disqualify it from being considered a move variation, when in that case, the real important points to note of those moves are that they are the Base 95 move of their type.
::While Zap is currently being taken as a ''former'' variation, that's simply because of the change in Base Power - but in the case of their group, the most notable feature of them is their 50% accuracy and the infliction of the status ailment. Just because one of them was upgraded (for some unknown reason) really shouldn't be enough to disqualify it. I'm not sure of any other cases where this could apply - Leaf Blade's base power increase was a different thing, because the other aspects of the group probably weren't as notable since it was just the "high crit rate" factor.

== Sludge Bomb ==

Now that Flamethrower and its variations have been reduced to 90 base power, they all now have the same base power as Sludge Bomb. On top of that, Sludge Bomb has the same amount of PP as Ice Beam, and they've all had the same accuracy the entire time. Would this not qualify Sludge Bomb as a Flamethrower variation now? - ''unsigned comment from [[User:Missingno. Master|Missingno. Master]] ([[User talk:Missingno.

== PP variation in both directions ==

After some debate about whether or not PP should matter, it was agreed upon that it wouldn't as long as it was within 5. This created a problem in Generation VI with variations of {{m|Strength}}. Strength has 15 PP, some of its variations have 20 PP, but {{m|Dazzling Gleam}} has 10 yet is similar enough in every other way to be rightly included. It only differs from the "base" move by 5; however it is in a different direction than the other variations. Excluding Dazzling Gleam would be as absurd as adding it but excluding {{m|Power Gem}} and {{m|Drill Peck}}. For this reason, I've added it, and strongly feel it should stay. (This issue may arise with other moves I haven't looked at yet, in which case I'll do the same thing). Some may point out that Dazzling Gleam differs in being able to affect multiple targets. However, this has never been an issue with variations, because {{m|Blizzard}} does the same thing. I see no reason not to include it. — [[User:Kianglo|KiANGLO]] [[User talk:Kianglo|TALK]] 05:05, 8 June 2016 (UTC)

I don't think it would make sense to do this, as these are all still variations in every other way. And targeting shouldn't be terribly relevant here, as it is irrelevant in single battles, which comprise an ''extreme'' majority of all in-game battles. Perhaps if there are only two moves in question and they have different targeting, it might make more sense.

== Remove "similar PP" as a criteria ==

The similar PP criteria is not only arbitrary, it creates several cases where A is a variant of both B and C, but B and C are not variants of each other...

For instance, {{m|Dragon Breath}} (20 PP) is a variant of {{m|Needle Arm}} (15 PP), which is a variant of {{m|Force Palm}} (10 PP). However, because of the arbitrary PP criteria, {{m|Dragon Breath}} is NOT a variant of {{m|Force Palm}}. This violates a transitivity that is implied with move variations. The only way to address the transitivity issue is to ensure strict PP equality or not have PP as a criteria at all.

It also creates cases where moves that obviously should be variants are not classified as such (e.g. {{m|Reflect}} (20 PP) and {{m|Light Screen}} (10 PP)), but for the case of the barrier moves, an [[Template:Light Screen|arbitrary exception]] was made anyways. Other examples include {{m|Spirit Shackle}} and {{m|Anchor Shot}} (10 PP vs 20 PP), and more glaringly... {{m|Fury Attack}} and {{m|Double Slap}}- which are identical in every way except PP.

Obviously the fact that field moves no longer exist may make it a bit obsolete, and a few of these moves aren't even field moves during certain generations, which is why I'm proposing it here.

[[User:HeatEdgeSword|HeatEdgeSword]] 11:44, 6 May 2022 (UTC)

== Concept of move variations is too broad ==

I think that the concept of move variations should really be aiming to encompass moves that are "the same" except for their typing and physicality/speciality. Like yeah for this page to be maximally useful, allowing minor variations in PP, secondary effect, and so on is necessary and perhaps even desirable in some cases (e.g. different non-volatile status effect inflicted by each elemental fang) but I think many of the sets of move variations on this page go too far. The main problem I see is that the degree to which a secondary effect constitutes the fundamental identity of a move is being underweighted, and its resulting in a lot of unnecessary grouping of moves that I just do not think should be called variations.

Variations of Brine- doubling damage under 50% HP is totally different from doubling damage on opponents with a status condition (as Hex and Venoshock do). There are plenty of moves that double damage under some condition, Brine should not be grouped with these two just because it happens to also be 65BP. Variations of Stomping Tantrum I have a similar issue with

Variations of Earthquake- this one is awful. Calling "hits all adjacent Pokemon" a special effect is very silly, and even if it weren't, Judgement's type-changing function meaningfully sets it apart from any move that doesn't do that regardless

Variations of Sacred Fire- these secondary effects are just too different, Diamond Storm and Sacred Fire being some of the only moves that happens to have a 50% chance to have their effect does not automatically make them variations

Variations of Leaf Blade- ok this one is actually fine but the fact that it lists "signature move (at any point in time)" as a commonality factor is unnecessary and frustrating because it reveals the level of arbitraryness in some of these grouping decisions. The fact that the Sceptile line was the only one that could learn Leaf Blade in Gen III and Vespiquen still has Attack Order as a signature move is just not a meaningful similarity at all

Variations of Acid Armor/Bulk Up/Charm etc- Boosting a stat by two stages or two stats by one stage are not grounds to consider a move a variation in my opinion. Agility and Swords Dance are completely different things, as are Bulk Up and Dragon Dance. at most you might consider moves whose stat changing effects are mirrored in the physical/special realm to be variations, a la Bulk Up and Calm Mind

Variations of Destiny Bond- the fact that Grudge and Destiny Bond both require the user to faint is a surface level similarity, they have completely different effects

I think that's enough good examples. I realize that the degree of allowed differences before something doesn't count as a variation anymore is subjective but I do think that the link of similarity between say, Giga Impact and Hyper Beam is of a totally different kind than that between like, Spikes and Stealth Rock or whatever, and that this page should really be sticking to the first one. My philosophy in considering this is that, other than differences in type and damage type, if moves with different secondary effects etc. are going to be considered variations of one another, then there needs to be some additional justifying similarity between those moves. Like Thunderbolt/Flamethrower/Ice Beam, those all inflict a different status but they're related to the type, and the % chance is the same- the moves also have an additional reason to be considered as a group, in that their TM's are frequently sold together in-game. But in this grouping: Aurora Beam, Bubble Beam, Psybeam, Sludge, Spark- Sludge and Spark share a different % chance for their secondary effect, and those effects are also different. Even the inclusion of Psybeam is questionable, as rather than lowering a stat it inflicts Confusion, which is a different sort of thing, but at least it's still a 10% chance and it has beam in the name lol. Consider how Water Pulse is not grouped with Psybeam, despite also having a 10% chance of inflicting confusion, because it has 60BP instead of 65BP. Is the 10% confusion chance not a more meaningful similarity than just, being 65BP and having any secondary effect? I think it is. I'm not advocating for moves with different base powers to suddenly be considered variations, my point is that the details of how the move works and what its secondary effects are matter a lot too, and base power and accuracy shouldn't be privileged over these things just because they're more easily comparable as simple numbers.

And like, I get it, categorizing things is really satisfying etc. but even if you were to say something like "this page covers more than just simple type variations" I would say, well if it's meant to encompass broader sorts of conceptual similarities, then its not doing a good job. Obvious groupings like U-turn/Volt Switch/Flip Turn and Stun Spore/Poisonpowder/Sleep Powder are incomplete because of surface level differences in base power and PP respectively. I think the best solution is to get strict with what constitutes a variation on this page, and then address the utility of conceptual move groupings in other ways. For example, there already various pages such as: "List of moves that cause entry hazards" "Category:Punching Moves". If you want to know the moves boosted by Mega Launcher, you have to visit the Mega Launcher ability page, but the list is there. Maybe, just like how there's a box for move variations at the bottom of a move page, there can also be a box if the move belongs to a useful battle category like that, and it can be higher up on the page. There's already a tiny section at the veery bottom showing what categories a page belongs to, but this always contains a lot of stuff that is usually not particularly specific to the move like: Physical Moves, Smart Moves, Moves Usable in Generation VIII, etc. so its usually not useful to look at. Maybe a designation called "similar moves" can be used, for moves that are not quite variations but are still appreciably similar in some way not obviously covered by an established category, and it could be a bit broader than the current scope of this article. I dunno, I just signed up, I've never edited Bulbapedia before, but I feel like there's a better way.

[[User:Lumpfriend|lumpy]] ([[User talk:Lumpfriend|talk]]) 17:15, 21 November 2022 (UTC)
:I think the concept of "move variations" is unnecessary and the criteria has to be modified constantly so some moves can fit (like the arbitrary thresholds for effectiveness percentages, accuracies, PP, etc.). Even when some moves are obviously variations of each other (Iron Tail, Dragon Rush, Egg Bomb; Dragon Breath, Needle Arm, Water Pulse, Force Palm, etc.), they still miss the cut because one of them doesn't have an added effect or whatever. Can't we just get rid of it altogether? And this is coming from an annoying "add every little detail to the trivia section" guy. It seems like with situations like this, less is more and you need to have an all or nothing approach to make everything make sense. Not every single thing needs to be categorized.

::See to me, your examples of moves that are 'obviously variations' are not obviously that (besides Dragon Breath & Force Palm). Perhaps I'm the only one who cares about secondary effects that much, but in any case, it speaks to the broader point that what constitutes a variation is subjective enough that maybe no single set of criteria can satisfy most people. As for getting rid of it altogether, well personally I'm a huge fan of when wikis have sections with links to related material like this, I think its cool how you can go from Hyper Beam to Giga Impact or whatever by going to a box at the bottom of the page and stuff, and probably some others feel that way too. But when I think about it from that angle, there being any standardization and the particularities of what qualifies as a move variation or doesn't isn't really the point, so maybe the concept of move variations is unnecessary after all. If it were to be gotten rid of though, I think it would be a shame if nothing replaced it- like a "similar moves" box that doesn't have restrictive criteria as for what can be included, or something like that, would be fun I think.

Is "10 or 15" valid [[Move variations#Variations of Shadow Ball|here]]? I'd say the use of every possible move variation no matter the amount of PPs it has would require a redefinition.

People are no longer respecting the "PPs" part of the definition. With "Variations of Flamethrower" the article mentions neither 15 nor 10 now.

Are Magma Storm and Focus Blast ''really'' variations of Blizzard? Neither inflict a status ailment and Magma Storm sounds more like a multi-turn move. The only similarities seem to be 120 power

Also, I think Thunder should be added as a variation. It has 10 PP, not 5, but it causes a status ailment, has 120 power and 70 accuracy. [[User:Drake Clawfang|Drake Clawfang]] 20:28, 21 March 2008 (UTC)
:Thunder and Blizzard also have their accuracy at 100% when used during a specific weather condition.

:::Yes. Variations: Do the same thing. Similarity: have the same PP, power, or accuracy but don't do the same thing. Outrage and Thrash are variations, despite Outrage now being 120 power.

== This page needs work ==

First of all, should PP be accounted for or not? Right now, some do and some don't. I don't really care which one we go with, so long as it's consistent.

Second, effects are not being grouped together consistently either. Example: Spark has a 30% chance of inducing Paralyze. Psybeam has a 10% chance of inducing Confusion. 30 != 10. Another example: Flamethrower has a 10% chance of inducing Burn. Surf has 0% chance of inducing anything at all, and has a different target range on top of that. Also, the diffence between "Acid Armor variations" and "Amnesia variations"? Ignoring the PP difference (the Acid Armor variations already do this anyway), who really cares if they raise Special stats or not? You could just as easily group them by Defense or Attack stats. On the other hand, I say just go with "raises a stat by two stages" and leave it at that.

Third, I do not think "non-[http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/volatile volatile]" means what you think it means. Why not just put "non-damaging effect" or something else a bit more clear and grammatically correct? [[User:Dragoness|Dragoness]] 04:57, 12 January 2009 (UTC)

:I never thought PP should be accounted for. A lot of the moves might have the same PP but if all the important other stuff is the same, the moves are pretty much variations! [[User:Toastypk|'''''~Toastypk''''']] - [[User_Talk:Toastypk|'''Loom.''']] 05:06, 12 January 2009 (UTC)

::If there's only one thing different about a move variation, it can still be considered a variation.

[[User:Chocolate|Chocolate]] ([[User talk:Chocolate|Chat with Me]]) 00:44, 13 January 2009 (UTC)
:::Actually, you could argue that Surf is a variation of Earthquake, since they have the same range and the same effect (none). Surf has more PP and less power, but it also has two things different from Flamethrower: range and effect. See? You can't just go "Oh they're close ENOUGH", you have to pick your criteria and stick with it. Either effect counts or it doesn't count. Either range counts or it doesn't count. Either PP counts or it doesn't count. If you start flubbing things, that's only going to make things more complicated down the line. [[User:Dragoness|Dragoness]] 03:23, 13 January 2009 (UTC)

::::I don't think there needs to be a set of rigid rules for move variations. By definition, variation implies differing conditions, character, and degree. That said, I do think that a move variations should have identical or ''very'' similar effects. PP and base power are relatively unimportant to me, when two moves have unique identical effects. Consider Bind, Fire Spin, and Whirlpool: they are all multi-turn attacks that trap their foe. They work exactly the same, and have relatively unique effects (only a handful of moves work like this). However, Bulbapedia currently only considers Fire Spin and Whirlpool as "variations". — [[User:Laoris|Laoris]] ([[User_Talk:Laoris|Blah]]) 03:18, 14 January 2009 (UTC)
:::::I think that trapping should have its own page. It's not as if the creators sat around and thought, "Hey, wouldn't it be cool to have a clone of this move for that element?"

:::::Minor problem with that though. Ember, Flamethrower and Fire Blast (and probably others but those are the big ones) all have a 10% chance of causing burn. Moreover, they're all Fire attacks. If we go solely by effect, then that makes them variations of each other. So then we have moves that are multiple variations in one. Is that really ok? I mean, I can see it going either way...

:::::One possibility is to split it into two things, where there are moves that are strictly exact copies of each other minus type and specific effect (not % chance of effect though, that has to say the same), and then other moves that just do the same thing but are not exact copies. Like, if I want to look for moves that cause Burn, there could be a category that I could go to and look there, and likewise for moves that cause trapping, or moves that hit everyone on the field. Does that sound reasonable? [[User:Dragoness|Dragoness]] 01:14, 15 January 2009 (UTC)

::::::I'm not talking about secondary effects like 10% of burn or confusion. I agree that there should be a [[list of moves that burn]] (not a category, unfortunately), but I don't think they should be considered variations.

These should be considered move variations. — [[User:Laoris|Laoris]] ([[User_Talk:Laoris|Blah]]) 01:33, 15 January 2009 (UTC)

Starting tabs over.

I've always considered anything that does not cause damage on an otherwise damaging move to be a secondary effect so I think we are going to differ in thought there, unfortunately. Example: Razor Wind requires charging, has a high crit rate and deals damage, so the charging and high crit rate are both secondary effects. Screech causes only Defense down, so Defense down is the primary effect.

Taking each thing in turn, I don't think that just because Wrap and Magma Storm both cause multi-turn trapping is enough for them to be considered variations. They ought to have a page specifying this, but this does not make them variations, in the same way as Ember and Flamethrower. Ditto with with the semi-invulnerable moves. They are different enough (note which moves can hit which during the invulnerable turn, not to mention Power) to warrant an obviously acknowledged ''similarity'' but not actual variations.

As for your last two examples, those moves DO essentially do the exact same thing in every way, with the exception of PP, so I think, if we decide to exclude PP from the criteria (which I am fairly convinced we ought to do by now), then yes, I would consider those move variations.

(Somewhat off-topic, why not a category instead of a page? Then there would be links from the moves pages themselves, so they can actually be found... The Pokédex has tons of categories, I've noticed...) [[User:Dragoness|Dragoness]] 02:14, 15 January 2009 (UTC)
:Also, {{m|Mud-Slap}} and {{m|Sand-Attack}} are both Ground moves with a 100% chance of lowering Accuracy, and this can be prevented by abilities such as {{a|Keen Eye}}, but they're still clearly not variations of each other, right? (Asking because I consider Wrap and Bind and the like to be moves with 100% chance of causing trapping) [[User:Dragoness|Dragoness]] 02:24, 15 January 2009 (UTC)
::Why aren't Wrap and Magma Storm variations? They have the same primary effects (inflict damage over several turns at the end of each turn) and secondary effects (trap target during those turns). (Though there's no official source ordering those as primary and secondary; they could just as easily be reversed.) I realize that Ember and Flamethrower also have the same primary and secondary effects, but another issue I pointed out above is ''unique game-mechanics''. There are a hundred moves that have the same primary effect as Ember and Flamethrower (inflict damage) and very similar secondary effects (10% of a major status ailment). However, there are only 5 moves that work like Wrap and Magma Storm. I think that makes them remarkable enough to be noted as move variations.
::Since the definition of variation means details can vary. That means we could consider numerous damaging moves to be variations of each other. But I don't think it's notable if they don't have something that sets them apart from other moves.

:::It seems to me like what you want would be better expressed in a different page, like "Moves that cause the same unique effects" ...Okay, "same unique" is a bit oxymoronic, but you know what I mean. ^^;

:::The reason I chose Mud-Slap and Sand-Attack as examples is because they ARE unique, in that Accuracy is not a standard stat, and there are only 5 moves that lower accuracy (and none that raise it, I think): Mud-Slap, Sand-Attack, {{m|Flash}}, {{m|Mirror Shot}}, and {{m|Muddy Water}}, but these are clearly not similar in any other way but that. (Asides from Flash and Sand-Attack, I would consider those variations of the other, with Gen IV's de-nerfing of Flash.) This page seems to have been created to illustrate which moves have only minor differences, with Power, Accuracy and % effect and PP cited specifically as things that must be the same. No matter which way you cut it, the only thing Wrap and Magma Storm have in common is their secondary multi-turn trapping effect, and I consider multi-turn trapping damage to be a single secondary effect (You are never going to have one of those moves inflict one without the other). Primary effect defaults to damage except for moves that do not ever deal damage. The game even categorizes them as Physical [[Image:PhysicalIC.gif]] and Special [[Image:SpecialIC.gif]], not Status [[Image:StatusIC.gif]]. You can cite their uniqueness, but there are only so many moves that do unique, specific things, like Burn, or charge, or high-crit, but then you'll end up with almost every move out there having at least one if not multiple variations. If you want to get really unique, {{m|Flame Wheel}} and {{m|Sacred Fire}} are the only moves that can thaw out their user.

Same effect, PP, accuracy and power (or the lack of it), varies on type only . These are variations, so I'll add them, but I don't know how to put the template on the move pages... {{u|Mr. Charlie}} 22:57, 14 March 2009 (UTC)

== Strength as first in a variation ==

I've realized that Dragon Claw and the others are exactly like Strength but in type, so i've changed that, and made Strength as the first in the variation. This is my first edit, i hope it's all-right, I don't know if the move wasn't in there because it is a HM.

::Okay, I made a change that in hindsight I'm unsure of. In Gen 3, Leaf Blade fit the requirements to be considered a variation of Slash - 70 power, 15 pp, 100% accuracy, high chance for critical.

Dark Pulse has more accuracy than Zen Headbutt. Bind, Wrap, and Fire Spin all have differnt accuracies. There's more to this page than just "Oh, it looks similar or has similar accuracy/PP/Power/type!" There's reasons that most of these aren't on there. The ones that don't seem like they fit are included because they either were the same, or are now the same. And Leaf Blade doesn't count, because it's already in a category that's more specific. '''[[Team Rocket|R.A.]] [[User:Rocket Admin Hunter Blade|Hunter]] [[User Talk:Rocket Admin Hunter Blade|Blade]]''' 20:15, 18 September 2009 (UTC)

Why does Leaf Blade not count? It fit all the requirements before it's power was changed, if it doesn't count than neither does Zap Cannon as a variation of Dynamic Punch. [[User:Drake Clawfang|Drake Clawfang]] 20:26, 18 September 2009 (UTC)

:I went through the list, here's some examples of the above:
::Blizzard's requirements are "5 or 10 PP", because otherwise Thunder wouldn't qualify. Also, Focus Blast doesn't qualify because it doesn't cause a status ailment
::Zap Cannon is listed as a variation of Dynamic Punch, but it has different power.
::Seed Flare is listed as a variation of Fire Blast, but it doesn't cause a status ailment.
::Surf is listed as a variation of Flamethrower but doesn't cause a status, and it says so right on the page

:::::Moves can't be in more than one category, which is why Leaf Blade is with Attack Order, since they match exactly except for type. And you're still missing what I've been saying.

I am paying attention to what you're saying. Now pay attention to what I'm saying. Focus Blast does not cause a status ailment as the other variations do, and Seed Flare doesn't either. Zap Cannon and Focus Blast have different powers. So why are they listed? And again, ''Leaf Blade can count as a variation of both Slash and Attack Order'', so why do we count one over the other?

:No, I don't think you are. Focus Blast has a ''secondary effect'' like the others do, it's not limited to status or stat changes. As for Zap Cannon and Focus Blast, I just realized that yeah, it shouldn't be there. I'll change that too. If we put Leaf Blade in the Slash variations, then there wouldn't be one for Attack Order. And yeah, Leaf Blade ''used'' to be in both categories. It's not anymore. It has more power than Slash. The only ones that I can find that have different powers as of Gen IV are the Petal Dance variations. I'll see what I can do about that too.

Peck and Tackle aren't variations. Especially in generation V, where Tackle received a BP of 50. Myself, I would put Peck with Vine Whip, because they both have 35 BP, 100% accuracy and no special effect. Their PP, however, differs significantly, but does that really matter?

== Definition ==

The definition isn't specific enough. "Move variations are moves that are identical to each other in terms of damage, PP, and accuracy, but have different elemental types, damage categories, or secondary effects." The definition works for damaging moves but according to it almost all status moves that have the same PP are variations of each other.

:How about something like, Status move variations are moves that raise or decrease the same number of stats by the same number of levels.

== Thrash, Petal Dance, and Outrage ==

Here's my question. Thrash and Petal Dance are grouped together, but Outrage is not included only because is has 15 PP instead of 10. This difference seems minor to me, and so I think Outrage should be insluded in this group, with a note on it. If this doesn't work, then it doesn't work, but I know for a fact that most people focos on the actual move and its effects, not the PP it has. There are even people in this talk (although from 2 years ago lol) that group them together, and I know that most people think they are the same move with different types, especially now that they have the same power in Gen V. --[[User:Jdthebud|Jdthebud]] 23:11, 8 November 2010 (UTC)

== PP shouldn't be taken into account ==

Taking the PP into account makes the list messier and more incomplete. They are also not the most important aspect anyway ingame: it doesn't really matter if a move has 35 PP or 40 PP. Seperating Night Slash from Slash, for example, causes an unnecesary amount of slots.--[[User:Grrgrrgrr1000|Grrgrrgrr1000]] 15:44, 14 November 2010 (UTC)
:I agree 100%. PP is such a minor detail, it shouldn't even matter. The important thing is base power, similar or identical side effects, and accuracy. Any move that only serves to boost a stat by two stages is a variation of Acid Armor. Well, I'm not entirely sure on Body Purge, given its other effect of halving the user's weight, but still. My point is, PP shouldn't be taken into account. - ''unsigned comment from [[User:Missingno. Master|Missingno. Master]] ([[User talk:Missingno.

There may be one or two other examples of this, but the main one I'm thinking about is Zap Cannon in relation to DynamicPunch and Purgatory. Just because the base power of Zap was increased to 120 shouldn't disqualify it from being a variation of the other two moves, because they all have the same, and probably more important and notable properties of 50% accuracy and the guaranteed infliction of a status ailment (type/ability permitting).

Also, as an aside, why disqualify Surf from being similar to Tbolt, Flamer, Ice Beam and Slime Wave? It's also the Base 95, fully accurate move of it's type... '''[[User:TheChrisD|TheChrisD]]''' [[User_talk:TheChrisD|Rants]]•[[Special:Contributions/TheChrisD|Edits]] 02:21, 25 January 2011 (UTC)
:{{m|Surf}} hit all opponents in double battles, while {{m|Ice Beam}} can freeze, {{m|Flamethrower}} inflict burn and so on, there is the difference. It's noted that {{m|Zap Cannon}} '''was''' a variation. Is there any other moves, which are similar except for base power really? --[[User:ЫъГЬ|ЫъГЬ]] 09:36, 25 January 2011 (UTC)
::Still though, it does mean that they all have a secondary effect, simply because one of those effects does not actually inflict a status ailment shouldn't be enough to disqualify it from being considered a move variation, when in that case, the real important points to note of those moves are that they are the Base 95 move of their type.
::While Zap is currently being taken as a ''former'' variation, that's simply because of the change in Base Power - but in the case of their group, the most notable feature of them is their 50% accuracy and the infliction of the status ailment. Just because one of them was upgraded (for some unknown reason) really shouldn't be enough to disqualify it. I'm not sure of any other cases where this could apply - Leaf Blade's base power increase was a different thing, because the other aspects of the group probably weren't as notable since it was just the "high crit rate" factor.

:Looks and damage category don't matter, but with such all over the place effects, I agree. The wide range of chances mean that they are similar, but not variations as far as I'm concerned. That said, 20/25PP is probably close enough that the 30% chance ones could be considered variations. (I discussed this with several admins about a year ago, and viewpoints ranged from them needing to be identical PP, to PP not mattering. We reached an agreement that 5PP different was the maximum allowable, provided that they are the same in other aspects (power, accuracy, target and side effect chance). 5PP and 10PP would probably not be acceptable though.)

== PP variation in both directions ==

After some debate about whether or not PP should matter, it was agreed upon that it wouldn't as long as it was within 5. This created a problem in Generation VI with variations of {{m|Strength}}. Strength has 15 PP, some of its variations have 20 PP, but {{m|Dazzling Gleam}} has 10 yet is similar enough in every other way to be rightly included. It only differs from the "base" move by 5; however it is in a different direction than the other variations. Excluding Dazzling Gleam would be as absurd as adding it but excluding {{m|Power Gem}} and {{m|Drill Peck}}. For this reason, I've added it, and strongly feel it should stay. (This issue may arise with other moves I haven't looked at yet, in which case I'll do the same thing). Some may point out that Dazzling Gleam differs in being able to affect multiple targets. However, this has never been an issue with variations, because {{m|Blizzard}} does the same thing. I see no reason not to include it. — [[User:Kianglo|KiANGLO]] [[User talk:Kianglo|TALK]] 05:05, 8 June 2016 (UTC)

== Remove "similar PP" as a criteria ==

The similar PP criteria is not only arbitrary, it creates several cases where A is a variant of both B and C, but B and C are not variants of each other...

For instance, {{m|Dragon Breath}} (20 PP) is a variant of {{m|Needle Arm}} (15 PP), which is a variant of {{m|Force Palm}} (10 PP). However, because of the arbitrary PP criteria, {{m|Dragon Breath}} is NOT a variant of {{m|Force Palm}}. This violates a transitivity that is implied with move variations. The only way to address the transitivity issue is to ensure strict PP equality or not have PP as a criteria at all.

It also creates cases where moves that obviously should be variants are not classified as such (e.g. {{m|Reflect}} (20 PP) and {{m|Light Screen}} (10 PP)), but for the case of the barrier moves, an [[Template:Light Screen|arbitrary exception]] was made anyways. Other examples include {{m|Spirit Shackle}} and {{m|Anchor Shot}} (10 PP vs 20 PP), and more glaringly... {{m|Fury Attack}} and {{m|Double Slap}}- which are identical in every way except PP.

== Concept of move variations is too broad ==

I think that the concept of move variations should really be aiming to encompass moves that are "the same" except for their typing and physicality/speciality. Like yeah for this page to be maximally useful, allowing minor variations in PP, secondary effect, and so on is necessary and perhaps even desirable in some cases (e.g. different non-volatile status effect inflicted by each elemental fang) but I think many of the sets of move variations on this page go too far. The main problem I see is that the degree to which a secondary effect constitutes the fundamental identity of a move is being underweighted, and its resulting in a lot of unnecessary grouping of moves that I just do not think should be called variations.

Variations of Brine- doubling damage under 50% HP is totally different from doubling damage on opponents with a status condition (as Hex and Venoshock do). There are plenty of moves that double damage under some condition, Brine should not be grouped with these two just because it happens to also be 65BP. Variations of Stomping Tantrum I have a similar issue with

Variations of Earthquake- this one is awful. Calling "hits all adjacent Pokemon" a special effect is very silly, and even if it weren't, Judgement's type-changing function meaningfully sets it apart from any move that doesn't do that regardless

Variations of Sacred Fire- these secondary effects are just too different, Diamond Storm and Sacred Fire being some of the only moves that happens to have a 50% chance to have their effect does not automatically make them variations

Variations of Leaf Blade- ok this one is actually fine but the fact that it lists "signature move (at any point in time)" as a commonality factor is unnecessary and frustrating because it reveals the level of arbitraryness in some of these grouping decisions. The fact that the Sceptile line was the only one that could learn Leaf Blade in Gen III and Vespiquen still has Attack Order as a signature move is just not a meaningful similarity at all

Variations of Acid Armor/Bulk Up/Charm etc- Boosting a stat by two stages or two stats by one stage are not grounds to consider a move a variation in my opinion. Agility and Swords Dance are completely different things, as are Bulk Up and Dragon Dance. at most you might consider moves whose stat changing effects are mirrored in the physical/special realm to be variations, a la Bulk Up and Calm Mind

Variations of Destiny Bond- the fact that Grudge and Destiny Bond both require the user to faint is a surface level similarity, they have completely different effects

I think that's enough good examples. I realize that the degree of allowed differences before something doesn't count as a variation anymore is subjective but I do think that the link of similarity between say, Giga Impact and Hyper Beam is of a totally different kind than that between like, Spikes and Stealth Rock or whatever, and that this page should really be sticking to the first one. My philosophy in considering this is that, other than differences in type and damage type, if moves with different secondary effects etc. are going to be considered variations of one another, then there needs to be some additional justifying similarity between those moves. Like Thunderbolt/Flamethrower/Ice Beam, those all inflict a different status but they're related to the type, and the % chance is the same- the moves also have an additional reason to be considered as a group, in that their TM's are frequently sold together in-game. But in this grouping: Aurora Beam, Bubble Beam, Psybeam, Sludge, Spark- Sludge and Spark share a different % chance for their secondary effect, and those effects are also different. Even the inclusion of Psybeam is questionable, as rather than lowering a stat it inflicts Confusion, which is a different sort of thing, but at least it's still a 10% chance and it has beam in the name lol. Consider how Water Pulse is not grouped with Psybeam, despite also having a 10% chance of inflicting confusion, because it has 60BP instead of 65BP. Is the 10% confusion chance not a more meaningful similarity than just, being 65BP and having any secondary effect? I think it is. I'm not advocating for moves with different base powers to suddenly be considered variations, my point is that the details of how the move works and what its secondary effects are matter a lot too, and base power and accuracy shouldn't be privileged over these things just because they're more easily comparable as simple numbers.

And like, I get it, categorizing things is really satisfying etc. but even if you were to say something like "this page covers more than just simple type variations" I would say, well if it's meant to encompass broader sorts of conceptual similarities, then its not doing a good job. Obvious groupings like U-turn/Volt Switch/Flip Turn and Stun Spore/Poisonpowder/Sleep Powder are incomplete because of surface level differences in base power and PP respectively. I think the best solution is to get strict with what constitutes a variation on this page, and then address the utility of conceptual move groupings in other ways. For example, there already various pages such as: "List of moves that cause entry hazards" "Category:Punching Moves". If you want to know the moves boosted by Mega Launcher, you have to visit the Mega Launcher ability page, but the list is there. Maybe, just like how there's a box for move variations at the bottom of a move page, there can also be a box if the move belongs to a useful battle category like that, and it can be higher up on the page. There's already a tiny section at the veery bottom showing what categories a page belongs to, but this always contains a lot of stuff that is usually not particularly specific to the move like: Physical Moves, Smart Moves, Moves Usable in Generation VIII, etc. so its usually not useful to look at. Maybe a designation called "similar moves" can be used, for moves that are not quite variations but are still appreciably similar in some way not obviously covered by an established category, and it could be a bit broader than the current scope of this article. I dunno, I just signed up, I've never edited Bulbapedia before, but I feel like there's a better way.

:I think the concept of "move variations" is unnecessary and the criteria has to be modified constantly so some moves can fit (like the arbitrary thresholds for effectiveness percentages, accuracies, PP, etc.). Even when some moves are obviously variations of each other (Iron Tail, Dragon Rush, Egg Bomb; Dragon Breath, Needle Arm, Water Pulse, Force Palm, etc.), they still miss the cut because one of them doesn't have an added effect or whatever. Can't we just get rid of it altogether? And this is coming from an annoying "add every little detail to the trivia section" guy. It seems like with situations like this, less is more and you need to have an all or nothing approach to make everything make sense. Not every single thing needs to be categorized.

== unrelated suggestion ==

Completely unrelated to everything I just said above, I think it would be nice if the variation sets containing moves primarily exclusive to legendaries were listed separately below all the other damaging moves.

Hi. I'm '''Blue Ninjakoopa,''' otherwise known as '''BNK''', '''Binky''', or simply '''Blue.'''

==Introduction==
My history with Pokemon dates all the way back to 1999 when I got [[Yellow Version]] for my birthday. I got into the series however when I got [[Sapphire Version]] in 2003 and since then the series is of interest to me. My sister got [[Ruby Version]] and we oftentimes traded cartridges until late 2004, when it was finalized that Ruby was mine and Sapphire was hers (which I was more than OK with, since Ruby had better Pokemon imo and the [[wikipedia:ruby|ruby]] is my birthstone).

Generation IV's new mechanics (the separation of physical and special moves by what kind of move they were rather than their type for example) were necessary landmark changes. However, I dislike the lack of creativity for some of the names, namely [[Infernape]] and [[Monferno]]; I also thought that some of the designs were lacking ([[Croagunk]], [[Toxicroak]], the [[Lake guardians]] to provide some examples). In the game department, the [[cry]] of [[Dialga]] was a very large disappointment. The sprites were a small improvement in comparison to the previous generation (bar sprites for Kanto region Pokemon + [[Teddiursa]] in [[Pokemon FireRed and LeafGreen|FireRed & LeafGreen]]), and the 3D-scale game [[Battle Revolution]] was very successful, though it wouldn't have been too hard for them to redesign ''all'' of the graphics for the Pokemon ([[Nidoking]] looked like it did in the [[Pokemon Stadium]] games, for example).

===Other notes===
I'm from Texas, but I used to say I was "from California" because I thought that "sounded cool."

==Pokemon==
===Games===
I have the [[Pokemon Yellow|Yellow]], [[Pokemon Silver|Silver]], [[Pokemon Ruby|Ruby]], [[Pokemon LeafGreen|LeafGreen]], [[Pokemon Emerald|Emerald]], [[Pokemon Diamond|Diamond]], [[Pokemon Platinum|Platinum]], [[Pokemon Soul Silver|SoulSilver]], [[Pokemon Black|Black]], [[Black 2]], [[Pokemon Omega Ruby|Omega Ruby]], and [[Pokemon X|X]] versions, as well as [[Stadium 2]], [[Gale of Darkness]], [[Pokemon Colosseum|Colosseum]], and [[Battle Revolution]]. I used the [[Red|Pokemon Trainer]] in ''[[Brawl]]'' until I got tired of his impractical gimmick (3 characters in 1, which greatly hinders skill development). Behind Mario and Kirby, Pokemon is the franchise I'm third most familiar with.

I bought [[Pokemon Blue|Blue]] on the 3DS virtual console in March 2016. I'm currently training my team of Blastoise, Fearow, Machamp, Alakazam, Jolteon, and Nidoking in Victory Road so I don't have to rely on "game over" experience by repeatedly battling (and losing to) the Elite 4. I caught two of the Legendary Birds (Articuno and Moltres), and I plan to catch the third and transfer them all to [[Pokemon Sun]]. I also played through [[Sapphire Version]], which had belonged to my sister previously.
====Teams (under construction)====

===TV show===
I watched the TV show actively from 1999 to early 2004, right before the theme song was changed to ''[[This Dream]]''. After that, I infrequently watched the episodes as they would come on on Cartoon Network. The primary reasons I dislike the anime as it is (as it became in the late 00's) are the lack in effort for the voice acting (James sounds like a nasally congested [[Wikipedia:Barney & Friends|Barney the Dinosaur]], the voices of the Pokemon all sound the same and the voice actor portraying them does a very lousy job), removal of trademark themes and tunes, and poor opening songs. One thing that is a step up are the graphics, but that's it.

In general, having taken off my nostalgia goggles, the anime really wasn't anything spectacular. The conclusion of most episodes was always some variant of Pikachu being stolen by Team Rocket and Ash using one of his other Pokemon to pop their hot air balloon. Additionally, the physics weren't accurate to the games, with Ash having defeated several ground-type Pokemon with his Pikachu's electric attacks. This wasn't fixed until the D/P arc. It was also annoying that Ash never evolved many of his Pokemon, but that didn't matter, since any of Ash's under-leveled Pokemon could take on fully-evolved Pokemon owned by expert trainers thanks to plot armor.
==Refrigerator Realization Dump==
Here, I'll list trivial things I've realized while looking through my refrigerator or taking a shower that don't really belong on any article. It's a work in progress.
===Typhlosion being able to learn Crush Claw is a Marvel reference===
<s>Typhlosion is a wolverine, honey badger, or an amalgamation of various mustelids. This is probably the biggest stretch I've ever made analyzing Pokemon... but I think that Typhlosion's ability to acquire [[Crush Claw]] through breeding is an ever-so-subtle nod to Logan, the Wolverine from ''X-Men,'' who uses claws extending from his knuckles to attack his enemies. Typhlosion, as a special attack, has no reason to use a non-STAB physical move that only does 75 damage and honestly, a lot of breeding moves are useless on Pokemon such as Exploud with [[Extrasensory]]. But the thing about Exploud and Extrasensory is that it serves to be a reference to Exploud's behavior and anatomy more than being functional or remotely competitively viable. There's a lot to unpack with why Pokemon learn certain moves, but here, I'm going to say that someone on the Game Freak development team liked the X-Men films or read the comics.</s>

'''EDIT''' - So... it's actually more likely a reference to badgers being known for burrowing. Lol.
===Kangeiko reference in Diamond/Pearl/Platinum===
I think the availability of Machoke and Meditite/Medicham in Sinnoh Routes [[Sinnoh Route 216|216]] and [[Sinnoh Route 217|217]] seems to be a reference to "[https://www.japanese-wiki-corpus.org/culture/Kangeiko.html Kangeiko]" (I think it means "cold training"), which is when athletes or martial artists train in the cold prevalent in the middle of the winter. It's one of those little things that makes you appreciate these games more. It could also be a coincidence that the Machoke and Medicham are there as convenient options to aid in the fight against Candice's Ice-type Pokemon, but it's fun to think about it in a more intricate context.
===Gorebyss and Huntail's Defense===
Stats are usually straightforward. [[Rapidash]] is a horse. Horses are fast. Rapidash thus has a high speed stat. Stats can also be weird... but there's often logic behind them still. Usually, stats are dictated by a need for balance. This is why [[Purugly]]'s HP is so low while its speed is so high, even though you wouldn't think of a "fat" Pokemon being fast (it having too much HP wouldn't have differentiated it enough from its counterpart, [[Skuntank]], and would have been hell to deal with in the early part of D/P). Anyway, back to Gorebyss and Huntail. You've probably noticed that they both have base 105 defense. And you might be thinking it's strange, considering their previous evolution, [[Clamperl]], has a SHELL and only has base 80 defense. But there's a reason for this, and it's not balance. Both Gorebyss and Huntail are based on deep-sea fish: the snipe eel and gulper eel, respectively. Deep underwater, there's a lot of pressure, and animals that live there either need sturdy bones/shells or soft, flexible skin to resist said pressure. Gorebyss and Huntail's high defense stats reference their ability to resist deep-sea pressure.
===Trapinch's Attack===
This one should be more obvious to seasoned players of R/S and fans of the [[Flygon]] line. Nintendo is known for having a fascination with antlion larvae, which have appeared in some capacity across multiple franchises. Off the top of my head, there's {{smw|Priscilla the Peckish}} from the Mario universe, {{wk|Snipper}} from Kirby, and the {{smw|Sandworm}} from Wario. [[Trapinch]] is one such antlion larvae-based creation, and a lot of people love it. As many of you were, I was puzzled the first time I evolved my Trapinch into [[Vibrava]] and noticed its attack had decreased significantly. One might assume an error or glitch, but there's a reference in all of it. And it's a simple one... you see, antlion larvae are notorious predators that create sand pits (hence [[Sand Tomb]] being one of Trapinch's earliest known moves) that trap prey (usually ants, hence the name) by making it difficult for the prey to climb out. The trap's effectiveness is achieved thanks to the physics of sand... on an incline, the tiny grains of sand roll off of each other as the prey tries to climb out, and eventually the prey slips into the jaws of the larvae. When antlion larvae grow up, however, they're not nearly as aggressive (if I'm not mistaken, they don't even prey on other animals or aren't really able to), hence the attack drop.

I have the [[Pokemon Yellow|Yellow]], [[Pokemon Silver|Silver]], [[Pokemon Ruby|Ruby]], [[Pokemon LeafGreen|LeafGreen]], [[Pokemon Emerald|Emerald]], [[Pokemon Diamond|Diamond]], [[Pokemon Platinum|Platinum]], [[Pokemon Soul Silver|SoulSilver]], [[Pokemon Black|Black]], [[Black 2]], [[Pokemon Omega Ruby|Omega Ruby]], and [[Pokemon X|X]] versions, as well as [[Stadium 2]], [[Gale of Darkness]], [[Pokemon Colosseum|Colosseum]], and [[Battle Revolution]]. I used the [[Red|Pokemon Trainer]] in ''[[Brawl]]'' until I got tired of his impractical gimmick (3 characters in 1, which greatly hinders skill development). Behind Mario and Kirby, Pokemon is the franchise I'm third most familiar with.

I bought [[Pokemon Blue|Blue]] on the 3DS virtual console in March 2016. I'm currently training my team of Blastoise, Fearow, Machamp, Alakazam, Jolteon, and Nidoking in Victory Road so I don't have to rely on "game over" experience by repeatedly battling (and losing to) the Elite 4. I caught two of the Legendary Birds (Articuno and Moltres), and I plan to catch the third and transfer them all to [[Pokemon Sun]]. I also played through [[Sapphire Version]], which had belonged to my sister previously.
====Teams (under construction)====
These are my "on-hand" teams for each game. Many aren't actually "on-hand", but they are the Pokemon that were on my team when I beat the Elite 4 and Champion.

===TV show===
I watched the TV show actively from 1999 to early 2004, right before the theme song was changed to ''[[This Dream]]''. After that, I infrequently watched the episodes as they would come on on Cartoon Network. The primary reasons I dislike the anime as it is (as it became in the late 00's) are the lack in effort for the voice acting (James sounds like a nasally congested [[Wikipedia:Barney & Friends|Barney the Dinosaur]], the voices of the Pokemon all sound the same and the voice actor portraying them does a very lousy job), removal of trademark themes and tunes, and poor opening songs. One thing that is a step up are the graphics, but that's it.

In general, having taken off my nostalgia goggles, the anime really wasn't anything spectacular. The conclusion of most episodes was always some variant of Pikachu being stolen by Team Rocket and Ash using one of his other Pokemon to pop their hot air balloon. Additionally, the physics weren't accurate to the games, with Ash having defeated several ground-type Pokemon with his Pikachu's electric attacks. This wasn't fixed until the D/P arc. It was also annoying that Ash never evolved many of his Pokemon, but that didn't matter, since any of Ash's under-leveled Pokemon could take on fully-evolved Pokemon owned by expert trainers thanks to plot armor.
==Refrigerator Realization Dump==
Here, I'll list trivial things I've realized while looking through my refrigerator or taking a shower that don't really belong on any article. It's a work in progress.
===Typhlosion being able to learn Crush Claw is a Marvel reference===
Typhlosion is a wolverine, honey badger, or an amalgamation of various mustelids. This is probably the biggest stretch I've ever made analyzing Pokemon... but I think that Typhlosion's ability to acquire [[Crush Claw]] through breeding is an ever-so-subtle nod to Logan, the Wolverine from ''X-Men,'' who uses claws extending from his knuckles to attack his enemies. Typhlosion, as a special attack, has no reason to use a non-STAB physical move that only does 75 damage and honestly, a lot of breeding moves are useless on Pokemon such as Exploud with [[Extrasensory]]. But the thing about Exploud and Extrasensory is that it serves to be a reference to Exploud's behavior and anatomy more than being functional or remotely competitively viable. There's a lot to unpack with why Pokemon learn certain moves, but here, I'm going to say that someone on the Game Freak development team liked the X-Men films or read the comics.
===Kangeiko reference in Diamond/Pearl/Platinum===
I think the availability of Machoke and Meditite/Medicham in Sinnoh Routes [[Sinnoh Route 216|216]] and [[Sinnoh Route 217|217]] seems to be a reference to "[https://www.japanese-wiki-corpus.org/culture/Kangeiko.html Kangeiko]" (I think it means "cold training"), which is when athletes or martial artists train in the cold prevalent in the middle of the winter. It's one of those little things that makes you appreciate these games more. It could also be a coincidence that the Machoke and Medicham are there as convenient options to aid in the fight against Candice's Ice-type Pokemon, but it's fun to think about it in a more intricate context.
===Gorebyss and Huntail's Defense===
Stats are usually straightforward. [[Rapidash]] is a horse. Horses are fast. Rapidash thus has a high speed stat. Stats can also be weird... but there's often logic behind them still. Usually, stats are dictated by a need for balance. This is why [[Purugly]]'s HP is so low while its speed is so high, even though you wouldn't think of a "fat" Pokemon being fast (it having too much HP wouldn't have differentiated it enough from its counterpart, [[Skuntank]], and would have been hell to deal with in the early part of D/P). Anyway, back to Gorebyss and Huntail. You've probably noticed that they both have base 105 defense. And you might be thinking it's strange, considering their previous evolution, [[Clamperl]], has a SHELL and only has base 80 defense. But there's a reason for this, and it's not balance. Both Gorebyss and Huntail are based on deep-sea fish: the snipe eel and gulper eel, respectively. Deep underwater, there's a lot of pressure, and animals that live there either need sturdy bones/shells or soft, flexible skin to resist said pressure. Gorebyss and Huntail's high defense stats reference their ability to resist deep-sea pressure.
===Trapinch's Attack===
This one should be more obvious to seasoned players of R/S and fans of the [[Flygon]] line. Nintendo is known for having a fascination with antlion larvae, which have appeared in some capacity across multiple franchises. Off the top of my head, there's {{smw|Priscilla the Peckish}} from the Mario universe, {{wk|Snipper}} from Kirby, and the {{smw|Sandworm}} from Wario. [[Trapinch]] is one such antlion larvae-based creation, and a lot of people love it. As many of you were, I was puzzled the first time I evolved my Trapinch into [[Vibrava]] and noticed its attack had decreased significantly. One might assume an error or glitch, but there's a reference in all of it. And it's a simple one... you see, antlion larvae are notorious predators that create sand pits (hence [[Sand Tomb]] being one of Trapinch's earliest known moves) that trap prey (usually ants, hence the name) by making it difficult for the prey to climb out. The trap's effectiveness is achieved thanks to the physics of sand... on an incline, the tiny grains of sand roll off of each other as the prey tries to climb out, and eventually the prey slips into the jaws of the larvae. When antlion larvae grow up, however, they're not nearly as aggressive (if I'm not mistaken, they don't even prey on other animals or aren't really able to), hence the attack drop.

'''Fury Swipes''' (Japanese: '''みだれひっかき''' ''Fury Swipes'') is a damage-dealing {{type|Normal}} [[multi-strike move]] introduced in [[Generation I]].

==Effect==
===Generation I===
Fury Swipes inflicts damage, hitting the target 2-5 times per use. There is a 37.5% chance that it will hit 2 times, a 37.5% chance that it will hit 3 times, a 12.5% chance that it will hit 4 times, and a 12.5% chance that it will hit 5 times. Provided that the move does not miss, it will hit 3 times on average, giving it an average power of 54. Although only the first strike can be a [[critical hit]], each successive one will deal the same amount of damage.

Fury Swipes will end immediately if it breaks a {{m|substitute}}. {{m|Bide}} and {{m|Counter}} will only acknowledge the last strike of this move.

===Generation II===
All strikes now do damage independently, enabling any of them to be critical hits. Fury Swipes may now continue attacking after breaking a substitute.

If the user is holding a [[King's Rock]], the final strike has a chance to cause the opponent to [[flinch]].

===Generations III and IV===
If the target has [[Contact#Abilities|an Ability that activates upon contact]], each strike counts individually, enabling the Ability to activate multiple times.

Fury Swipes can also be used as part of a [[Contest combination|Pokémon Contest combination]], with the user gaining extra two appeal points if move {{m|Scratch}} was used in the prior turn.

Pokémon with the Ability {{a|Skill Link}} will always hit five times when using Fury Swipes if it does not miss.

If the user is holding a [[King's Rock]] or [[Razor Fang]], each consecutive hit has an equal chance to cause the opponent to [[flinch]].

===Generation V onwards===
There is now a ~33.3% chance that it will hit 2 times, a ~33.3% chance it will hit 3 times, a ~16.7% chance it will hit 4 times, and a ~16.7% chance it will hit 5 times. Provided that the move does not miss, it will hit ~3.167 times on average, giving it an average power of 57.

If a [[Focus Sash]], [[Focus Band]], or {{a|Sturdy}} activates before the last strike is dealt, the following strike will cause the defending Pokémon to faint. A Focus Band can still activate repeatedly to prevent fainting, but each chance is independent of the previous one.

If the target has {{a|Weak Armor}} or {{a|Stamina}}, each strike will activate it.

If the target is holding a [[Rocky Helmet]], the user is damaged for each strike.

'''Fury Attack''' (Japanese: '''みだれづき''' ''Disturbed Stab'') is a damage-dealing {{type|Normal}} [[multi-strike move]] introduced in [[Generation I]].

==Effect==
===Generation I===
Fury Attack inflicts damage, hitting the target 2-5 times per use. There is a 37.5% chance that it will hit 2 times, a 37.5% chance that it will hit 3 times, a 12.5% chance that it will hit 4 times, and a 12.5% chance that it will hit 5 times. Provided that the move does not miss, it will hit 3 times on average, giving it an average power of 45. Although only the first strike can be a [[critical hit]], each successive one will deal the same amount of damage.

Fury Attack will end immediately if it breaks a {{m|substitute}}. {{m|Bide}} and {{m|Counter}} will only acknowledge the last strike of this move.

===Generation II===
All strikes now do damage independently, enabling any of them to be critical hits. Fury Attack may now continue attacking after breaking a substitute.

If the user is holding a [[King's Rock]], the final strike has a chance to cause the opponent to [[flinch]].

===Generations III and IV===
If the target has [[Contact#Abilities|an Ability that activates upon contact]], each strike counts individually, enabling the Ability to activate multiple times.

Fury Attack can also be used as part of a [[Contest combination|Pokémon Contest combination]], with the user gaining extra two appeal points if either the move {{m|Horn Attack}} or {{m|Peck}} was used in the prior turn.

Pokémon with the Ability {{a|Skill Link}} will always hit five times when using Fury Attack unless it misses.

If the user is holding a [[King's Rock]] or [[Razor Fang]], each consecutive hit has an equal chance to cause the opponent to [[flinch]].

===Generation V onwards===
There is now a ~33.3% chance that it will hit 2 times, a ~33.3% chance it will hit 3 times, a ~16.7% chance it will hit 4 times, and a ~16.7% chance it will hit 5 times. Provided that the move does not miss, it will hit ~3.167 times on average, giving it an average power of 47.5.

If a [[Focus Sash]], [[Focus Band]], or {{a|Sturdy}} activates before the last strike is dealt, the following strike will cause the defending Pokémon to faint. A Focus Band can still activate repeatedly to prevent fainting, but each chance is independent of the previous one.

If the target has {{a|Weak Armor}} or {{a|Stamina}}, each strike will activate it.

If the target is holding a [[Rocky Helmet]], the user is damaged for each strike.

'''Furret''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''オオタチ''' ''Ootachi'') is a {{type|Normal}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation II]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Sentret}} starting at [[level]] 15.

==Biology==
Furret is a long, slim-bodied {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with cream-colored fur and dark brown rings along the length of its body. The back of its head and neck are also dark brown; this marking extends to below its arms where the first ring is formed. It has cream-colored tips on its ears, two brown, whisker-like markings on each cheek, and round, black eyes. Its four limbs are stubby; the forepaws are brown and the hind paws cream-colored. Furret is capable of standing on its hind legs, but prefers to move on all fours. Its body and tail are so similar in structure that it is impossible to tell where its tail begins.

Despite its short limbs, Furret is very quick and agile. Its speed allows it to catch prey such as {{p|Rattata}}. It tends to burrow under the ground of meadows and other {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Grassland Pokémon|temperate grasslands}}. Its narrow burrows are well-suited for its slim body and are very difficult for other Pokémon to enter. The burrows also become more maze-like deeper inside, which makes it even harder to find Furret's nest. A mother Furret curls itself around its offspring to help them sleep.

==Trivia==

===Origin===
Furret appears to be based on a {{wp|ferret}}.

====Name origin====
Furret is a combination of ''fur'' and ''{{wp|ferret}}''. It is likely also a play on ''{{wp|turret}}'', upon which sentries (Sentret's namesake) usually stand. It is more similar in body to a ferret than {{p|Sentret}}. Its name could also be inspired by the word ''furrow'', a verb that means to make a rut, groove, or trail in, referring to Furret's body shape and gait.

Ootachi is a combination of 大 ''ō'' (big) and 鼬 ''itachi'' (weasel), and it may also include 尾 ''o'' (tail) and 立つ ''tatsu'' (stand), just like Sentret's Japanese name, Otachi.

'''Diglett''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ディグダ''' ''Digda'') is a {{type|Ground}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation I]].

It [[Evolution|evolve]]s into {{p|Dugtrio}} starting at [[level]] 26.

In [[Alola]], Diglett has a {{2t|Ground|Steel}}-type [[regional form]]. It evolves into Alolan Dugtrio starting at level 26.

==Biology==
Diglett is a tiny, brown Pokémon that seems to be perpetually buried within the earth, leaving only its head visible. Its small stature makes it both the [[List of Pokémon by weight|lightest]] and [[List of Pokémon by height|shortest]] {{type|Ground}}. It has beady black eyes and a large, round, pink nose. A Diglett in [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team]] mentions that it has feet, though their size and appearance are unknown. It spends much of its time underground and has very thin skin. If Diglett is exposed to sunlight, its blood will heat up and cause it to grow weak.

Diglett lives in tunnels and {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Cave Pokémon|caves}} under the earth, where it feeds on tree roots and vegetables. It also sometimes lives in burrows near forests and has even [[PK04|been shown]] to live inside of trees. Diglett digs regularly through the earth at a shallow depth, leaving perfectly tilled soil in its wake. Some farmers welcome Diglett because it tills their fields and its droppings enrich the soil, but others consider it a pest for eating their vegetables. For a brief time, {{m|Fissure}} was its [[signature move]]. {{p|Druddigon}} is a natural predator of Diglett.

In a [[Alola]], Diglett has developed three fine gold whiskers on its head from living in soil with high iron content. These whiskers function as sensors and allow it to monitor its surroundings without coming above ground, though it will still occasionally poke its head out to monitor its surroundings. The whiskers can also be used for communication, wobbling around to relay mood or emotion. They stand straight up for anger, swing around for happiness, and droop for sadness.<ref>[https://www.Pokémon-sunmoon.com/en-us/Pokémon/alolan-diglett/ Pokémon Sun and Moon site | Alolan Diglett]</ref> Needing to be able to dig through Alola's volcanic rock, Alolan Diglett is notably stronger than its non-Alolan counterparts. However, they are still very small, tying with {{p|Klefki}} and {{p|Meltan}} as the shortest {{type|Steel}}.

==Trivia==
[[File:Diglett feet reference PMD.png|frame|Diglett mentioning having feet in Pokémon Mystery Dungeon]]
* In the [[Pokémon Red and Green beta|Pokémon Red and Blue beta]], Diglett was originally to use its Japanese name, "Digda", as its English name. This name was retained in the German localization of the games.
* Diglett and {{rf|Alolan}} Diglett have the second lowest base HP of any Pokémon, after {{p|Shedinja}}.
* Diglett has the lowest base {{stat|Defense}} of all {{type|Ground}} Pokémon.
** Alolan Diglett has the lowest base stat total and the lowest base Defense of all {{type|Steel}} Pokémon.
* In [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team]] and their [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Rescue Team DX|remake]], after the first [[Mt. Steel]] mission, Diglett mentions having feet. It is mentioned again as being one of the seven mysteries of Pokémon in a letter, alongside {{p|Arbok}}'s pattern changes and the inside of {{p|Forretress}}'s shell.
* Due to being embedded in the ground, Diglett and Dugtrio have special interactions with certain mechanics in the [[Pokémon games]].
** In the [[Pokéathlon]], Diglett and Dugtrio are unable to jump. In Hurdle Dash they dig under hurdles instead of jumping them, in Lamp Jump they cannot move, and in Disc Catch they can only move but not jump to catch the discs.
** Since [[Generation V]], when Diglett and Dugtrio are sent out, they merely fade onto the screen instead of dropping down like all other Pokémon.
** In the [[Poké Transfer]], Diglett and Dugtrio run between bushes rather than jump.
** On the "Compare" screen of {{g|X and Y}}'s Pokédex, if the player taps the menu sprite of Diglett, Dugtrio, or {{me|Gengar}}, the Flying-type Pokémon will give up and disperse before even trying to lift it.
** Diglett, Dugtrio, {{p|Sandygast}}, {{p|Palossand}}, and {{me|Gengar}} are immune to {{m|Telekinesis}}.
** If a [[Z-Move]] animation, such as {{m|Supersonic Skystrike}}, results in showing Diglett or Dugtrio in the air, it is shown still embedded in the ground.
* Diglett and its evolved form share their {{pkmn|category}} with {{p|Drilbur}}. They are all known as the Mole Pokémon.
* In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, if Diglett is the {{player}}'s [[Walking Pokémon|partner Pokémon]], and the player goes to the [[Pokémon Center]], Diglett jumps to its [[Poké Ball]] to be healed.
* In the {{pkmn|anime}}, {{Gary}} claims Diglett is able to pull its head underground faster than the speed of light. In the English dub, this is changed to simply ''at'' the speed of light.
* Diglett is listed in {{Eng|Pokémon Stadium}} as having {{m|Acid}} as a valid move, despite not being able to learn the move.<ref>[https://tcrf.net/index.php?title=Pok%C3%A9mon_Stadium_(International)&oldid=337303#Unused_Event_Move Pokémon Stadium (International) - The Cutting Room Floor]</ref>
* According to {{g|Sun and Moon}}, Diglett was designed by [[Shigeki Morimoto]].

===Origin===
Diglett appears to be very similar to the artificial moles used in {{wp|Whac-A-Mole}} arcade games, as referenced by its full health phrase in [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team]]. There is also some similarity to {{wp|worm}}s.

Alolan Digett's hair may be based on {{wp|Pele's hair}}, a thin {{wp|volcanic glass}} formed near Hawaiian volcanoes.

====Name origin====
Diglett may be a combination of ''dig'' and the diminutive suffix ''[[wiktionary:-let|-let]]'', which is used to denote small size.

Digda refers to the word ''dig''.

Sun2020's writing style for [https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Ash_Ketchum&type=revision&diff=3088750&oldid=3088687 this edit] to [[Ash Ketchum]] is extremely reminiscent of Kittystyler's old writing style for [https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Ash_Ketchum&type=revision&diff=2955518&oldid=2955392 this edit] to the same article. Do you think you can look into it? Thank you! [[User:GrammarFreak01|GrammarFreak01]] ([[User talk:GrammarFreak01|talk]]) 21:20, 5 January 2020 (UTC)

== Template approval ==

If you have the time, please let me know if {{red link|User:Daniel Carrero/Puzzle}} needs anything to be approved (any change in contents, layout, etc.). If/when possible, I'd like it to be moved back to the template namespace. I also asked about aproving it on Discord, though I'm still waiting to see if anyone will reply there.

I created that template and used it in these pages:

* [[List of puzzles (PPC)]]

== Pseudo-legendary ==

Hi Force Fire, thanks for adding Dragapult to the [[Pseudo-legendary Pokémon]] article (which I requested on Discord since I don't have edit access). The box for Dragapult is bigger than the other boxes in the first section, though. [[User:Qzekrom|Qzekrom]] ([[User talk:Qzekrom|talk]]) 18:55, 9 January 2020 (UTC)
:You're welcome. I'm aware that the Dragapult image is large, I did try to resize it to make it smaller (as to make the template even with the others) but felt that it made the image look too small and unidentifiable, so I just left it as is.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 05:57, 10 January 2020 (UTC)
:: Is there a way make it smaller for the section that shows all [[Pseudo-legendary Pokémon]] together? It jsut getting clutter up and hard to see them all.--[[User:Jacob9594|Jacob Kogan]] ([[User talk:Jacob9594|talk]]) 05:59, 10 January 2020 (UTC)

== What's the point? ==

Why did you revert my episode title changes? SM003 is CLEARLY a pun, that's not difficult to see at all. We've added pun titles before. So why not now? And the others were put in the correct order of the Japanese title (not the translations of them) and added with words that needed to be added, like "region", when region is clearly in the title and has been included in other episode titles that had the Japanese characters for the word "region" in them before? Why stop now? We don't NEED to rely off translations from people over at Serebii. Other people CAN add titles as well. If there's a problem with them, at the very least explain why, I'm so annoyed with you being angry at me. [[User:Playerking95|Playerking95]] ([[User talk:Playerking95|talk]]) 09:43, 12 January 2020 (UTC)
:And I've done nothing wrong to deserve this from just a single admin. [[User:Playerking95|Playerking95]] ([[User talk:Playerking95|talk]]) 09:45, 12 January 2020 (UTC)
::I rolled back your edit on the episode list article based off your SM003 edit. The other changes, while questionable, were fine. As for SM003, as we discussed before, not everything is a pun. "Fushigi da ne" can be an actual phrase. Just because "fushigi" is in the title, doesn't automatically make it a pun.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 10:01, 12 January 2020 (UTC)

== Template edit request ==

Given the fact that Go is on a pretty constant catching spree, should the category for episodes in which a main character obtains a new Pokémon be included in the new episode template? Kinda like how the category for Mythical Pokémon appearances was included in it while Ash had Meltan/Melmetal in his active team? --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] ([[User talk:FinnishPokéFan92|talk]]) 15:24, 12 January 2020 (UTC)
:I've brought up the suggestion with the other staff members.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 16:43, 12 January 2020 (UTC)
::Having the category there before the episode airs is a bit assumptious, especially if said episode isn't an episode where Go catches anything. So the category is not going in the template.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 06:23, 13 January 2020 (UTC)

== Noise Reduction on Gen 8 Pokemon images ==

I've done some easy experimenting with noise reduction on the grainy Pokemon images in photoshop, with much improved quality. Was wondering if there was any reason this hasn't been done already. [[User:Lanthanum|Lanthanum]] ([[User talk:Lanthanum|talk]]) 05:42, 15 January 2020 (UTC)

== Pichu Posse members ==

Dear ForceFire,

I've been in the process of reviewing the appearances of the Pichu Brothers and their associates in the anime. However I noticed there were some Pokémon listed on the Pichu Brothers page as members of the Posse who wouldn't fit the description of being a "friend" and are simply recurring wild Pokémon such as Snorlax, Houndour and the Squirtle Squad. Feraligatr and Murkrow other recurring wild Pokémon, that are yet to have a mention anywhere, however their appearances are brief like the others. Should they have separate sections on the [[Recurring wild Pokémon in the anime]] page or should all the recurring Big Town Pokémon be listed on one page with the subsections "Pichu Brothers", "Pichu Posse" and "Other Big Town Pokémon"? Regards, [[User:PardescanSlowbro|PardescanSlowbro]] ([[User talk:PardescanSlowbro|talk]]) 13:41, 16 January 2020 (UTC)

== Why did you undo my Wedgehurst edit? ==

[https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Wedgehurst&diff=3097122&oldid=3097003 You didn't even leave a reason why.]] [[User:Unowninator|¿¡Unowninator?!]] ([[User talk:Unowninator|talk]]) 17:05, 16 January 2020 (UTC)
:It's not notable. The other trainers "not noticing the Slowpoke" isn't notable either. The nurse knowing it isn't suppose to be some in-universe thing. Just like the bulletin boards in Black and White announcing the Pokemon outbreaks, it's not meant to be an in-universe thing where everyone in that universe knows about the outbreak (I don't recall other NPC characters commenting on the B/W outbreaks).--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 12:25, 17 January 2020 (UTC)

== Origins Corrections ==

Hello! I am new to bulbapedia and I saw you reverted some of my changes to the verb conjugation implying uncertainty in two different articles. You mentioned that I would be allowed to do this in the future in the case that I have an official source. What constitutes an official source in this case? I ask because I would be willing to write to someone (maybe a developer?) in order to get confirmation but I do not wish to do this if it is unlikely written confirmation would not count as an official source. Are interviews with developers acceptable? Ideally, if you could link me to some sort of list that includes examples of acceptable sources that would be very helpful for me. Thank you for your time. [[User:DeterministicSpaceRichard|DeterministicSpaceRichard]] ([[User talk:DeterministicSpaceRichard|talk]])
:An interview with the original Japanese (or Western, in James Turner's case) designer is the absolute source. An example would be the interview with Pikachu's designer where she revealed its origin. We don't have a list because interviews with the designers regarding Pokemon origins are scarce.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 04:54, 18 January 2020 (UTC)

== why did you revert my edit? ==

I'm completely new to editing this wiki and was wondering why you [https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Ponyta_(Pok%C3%A9mon)&diff=3097546&oldid=3097545 undid my first edit]? You didn't leave a reason in the reversion's edit summary and I didn't think my edit was "bad". Is there some policy about the trivia/name origin section I don't know about? {{unsigned|Twisted Code}}
:I had already removed that previously, as I felt that it was not really necessary to point out.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 05:28, 20 January 2020 (UTC)
::By that standard, what makes anything else on this wiki "necessary", especially stuff in the trivia section? I don't really understand the line you're drawing, as it seems like it could go either way. Then again, I'm new here so what do I know?¯\_(ツ)_/¯--[[User:Twisted Code|Twisted Code]] ([[User talk:Twisted Code|talk]]) 18:33, 20 January 2020 (UTC)
:::If you don't mind me inserting myself, I think that that's a worthy trivia point. I didn't realize it until reading it here. It's the exact kind of thing I'd expect to see in a trivia section. --[[User:Celadonkey|celadonk]] ([[User talk:Celadonkey|talk]]) 19:31, 20 January 2020 (UTC)
::::Trivia point, sure. Just don't think it's worth pointing out in the name origin section as the line before already conveys what is being said well enough without trying to be witty.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 07:32, 21 January 2020 (UTC)
:::::maybe we could move the "based on a unicorn" trivia point altogether then? Seems that point being in *specifically* the name origin subsection is the issue. I'd like to point out the pun one way or another, as I thought it was a clever quip from the developers.--[[User:Twisted Code|Twisted Code]] ([[User talk:Twisted Code|talk]]) 13:46, 21 January 2020 (UTC)
::::::Uh... no. That line is meant to be in the origins sections as it's detailing what Galarian Ponyta might be based off. The extra bit about "unique horn" isn't necessary.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 06:38, 22 January 2020 (UTC)
:::::::... And "unique horn" supports that point that it "might be" based on a unicorn. I don't see what the big deal is here, or why one piece of trivia is more "necessary" than any other piece? Is there some sort of rule against acknowledging puns (even to support another point) or something? --[[User:Twisted Code|Twisted Code]] ([[User talk:Twisted Code|talk]]) 13:21, 26 January 2020 (UTC)
:::::::After a bit of thought and reading [[WP:WP:WIN|one of Wikipedia's (a.k.a. the mother of all wikis or "MOAW") policies concerning impasses like this]], I've decided I'm willing to just leave it go. Mostly because I know you're an admin and I don't feel like challenging the "staff won't bite" claim in the [[template:welcome]] message, but also because this impasse is such an enigma to me that it doesn't feel worthwhile trying to understand it — especially in light of the policy I mentioned (which presumably also applies to any wiki created in the same spirit of collaboration). That said, please register and take into account my STRONG objection to your decision in this matter, and on that note, have a nice day :-)--[[User:Twisted Code|Twisted Code]] ([[User talk:Twisted Code|talk]]) 22:43, 2 February 2020 (UTC)
::::::::Apologies for the late response. It saying that Galarian Ponyta might be based of a Unicorn is suffice enough, without the need to be witty or smart. Like I said, if anything, the pun goes in the main trivia section, not the name origin section. As for the Wikipedia policy, we are not Wikipedia. We do not share the same rules or guidelines (well, we might share some, but not all, and definitely not that one).--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 04:32, 3 February 2020 (UTC)
:::::::::I accept that explanation, though I'm struggling slightly to reconcile it with my original thinking (though in any case, my initial question is settled). As for the thing about Wikipedia: yes I realize this is not Wikipedia, nor is it a project belonging to Wikimedia; what I meant by what I said was that, as both wikis are, by nature, collaborative projects and that policy is conducive to cooperation, I felt it could be applicable here, not that it would actually be enforced because, as you said, this isn't Wikipedia. Sorry about that, I should've been more clear.--[[User:Twisted Code|Twisted Code]] ([[User talk:Twisted Code|talk]]) 19:10, 3 February 2020 (UTC)

== Sobble's Origin for Trivia Section ==

We know Sobble is based on a chameleon and it says that's it's Water-typing is based on the basilisk lizard, but here's another thing you could add which makes a lot of sense (like how it also connects to water). Below are the reasons/facts and links.

Because of its color scheme and type, Sobble could be based on the Veiled chameleon. Even though it's not aquatic, it has a special adaption to collect water in its habitat where there is little water. This species of chameleon has a casque (the helmet-like protrusion on top of its head) that collects water. At night, droplets of moisture roll down the casque and into the chameleon's mouth.

The way the droplets flow down the Veiled chameleon's face could give the illusion that it's crying which could explain the teardrop markings on Sobble's face. The adult males of this species have defined bands of blue and yellow. Those two colors are part of Sobble's color scheme.

Here are the links for more information: https://animals.sandiegozoo.org/animals/chameleon (As you scroll down, start reading where is says "A water-catching casque.") https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Veiled_chameleon

Here is a picture of the adult male Veiled chameleon: https://flchams.com/chameleon/adult-veiled-chameleons-for-sale/ [[User:Macpika|Macpika]] ([[User talk:Macpika|talk]]) 04:02, 23 January 2020 (UTC)
:Its behavior and appearance is similar enough, you can add it if you want to, just remember to use "may be based off" or "appears to be based off" rather than "is based off", since it's still speculation.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 05:11, 23 January 2020 (UTC)

I'm confused. Please explain why {{MTR}} was removed from the recurring wild Pokémon in the anime page?

== BW058? ==

I saw the change made to BW058. However I based those additions on the fact that Gym Leader's Pokémon evolving like [[Roark's Cranidos]] has been listed in the past, plus Chili is a recurring character and also the brother of Cilan. {{unsigned|PardescanSlowbro}}
:Roark's Cranidos evolving is notable as it effects Ash's battle with him. The additions you made to BW058 weren't that major and didn't need to be elaborated on.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 09:54, 2 February 2020 (UTC)

== About Dinamax/Gigantamax in the anime ==

When a Poké evolves, here it usually says "x took y episodes to evolve" or something. How will you do with Pokémon that reach that level?For example, I'm doing a Gyarados'page for Lance. I put something like Lance's Gyarados took xxx episodes to dinamax (is that the name we should put?)? Where is this kind of information going to be?

== Process for reporting an admin ==

Hey! Is there a formal process to report an admin for shirking their duties? [https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/User_talk:Ataro#Iris_edit I've been trying] [https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/User_talk:Ataro#Iris_edit.2C_continued for months] to talk with {{U|Ataro}} about an editing style that I strongly disagree with, which led to what I believe to be an unnecessary three-day block on my end. Ataro [https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=User_talk%3AAtaro&type=revision&diff=3032795&oldid=3031944 responded], and this was [https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=User_talk%3AAtaro&type=revision&diff=3032886&oldid=3032814 my response]. For months, I haven't received another response from them. I am led to believe Ataro is ignoring me on purpose because [https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=User_talk%3AAtaro&type=revision&diff=3068489&oldid=3068474 they] [https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=User_talk%3AAtaro&type=revision&diff=3068499&oldid=3068496 have] [https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=User_talk%3AAtaro&type=revision&diff=3107287&oldid=3107274 responded] to other talk page messages, but not mine. They have also been active many times since that initial response, so it would've been absolutely difficult for them not to see all the talk page notifications that were sent by my many attempts to contact them.

I find it hard to believe they were unaware of all of that. If there was supposed to be another, more appropriate way to reach them, then my apologies; I didn't know. But nevertheless, I find it absolutely disgusting that this admin would engage in such selective behavior. Trying to contact them even before they initially responded was an extremely tedious debacle, and by this point, I am absolutely done with their conduct.

== Gary's Journey ==

Hi, please, I wanted to understand why the change was reversed with Gary's page. Why no other human character has the separation between Kanto / Johto / Hoenn or anything like that anymore. The marking says "Orange Islands", but Gary was never said to have been on the islands. And the page is about Gary's point of view, isn't it? What's the point of keeping that with Gary only?Shouldn't that be standard for everyone?[[User:Hikaru Wazana|Hikaru Wazana]] ([[User talk:Hikaru Wazana|talk]]) 15:17, 2 March 2020 (UTC)

== List of references to Pokémon in popular culture edit ==
Hello there. May I ask as to why you have deleted my writing on [[Difference between revisions of "List of references to Pokémon in popular culture"|this page]]? If you would have given me some more time, I would have fixed up my own work, rather than someone else deleting it. Could you please explain as to why you have deleted this specific section? I recognise that some of my information is incorrect, and I would have fixed it up myself. If there is an alternate section where you want me to put it under, I will be more than happy to do this change. Thank you for taking the time to read this, and I hope you recosider your reversion.

== Appearance info for Series-exclusive Recurring Characters: ==

Hello,

I wish to clarify whether all appearances for recurring characters in a particular series should be documented. This comes in the wake of GrammarFreak01 restoring deletions made to [[Abe]], [[Sarah and Harper]] and [[Anela]]'s pages of otherwise unimportant or minor appearances, plus Poké Problem scenes which have little to do with the respective episode plots. As such I'd prefer for these changes to be reverted to make for a succinct article. [[User:PardescanSlowbro|PardescanSlowbro]] ([[User talk:PardescanSlowbro|talk]]) 09:15, 5 March 2020 (UTC)

:I disagree with making articles such as those succinct. It needs material to fill it up, otherwise it'll be painfully short. [[User:GrammarFreak01|GrammarFreak01]] ([[User talk:GrammarFreak01|talk]]) 09:16, 5 March 2020 (UTC)
::Only major appearances should be noted, if they didn't do much and was simply a background character, then it's not notable. And the Poke Problem segments are clearly not notable at all. It doesn't matter if it's too short, Reggie has appeared quite a few times and his article isn't that long. Quality over quantity.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 12:22, 5 March 2020 (UTC)

::::So would this have to apply to ''every'' recurring character article, including those who only had major roles in just two episodes like [[Savannah]] and [[Sandra]]?

== User YayBoy7 vandalizing the site. ==

== Feedback ==

Hi, I'm putting together a custom template for the characters that will be in the world competition. Some details are still needed, but I would like to know the opinion of the site staff. Is there any chance of being approved? Is it worth it to keep doing this?My inspiration is something that I saw on sports websites. I thought it might be interesting given the importance of the event.
Here is an example:
---------------
This marks the position that Trainer _____ took in the world ranking:

! [[File:Bag Ultra Ball Sprite.png]] Hyper Class
! style="{{roundytr|5px}}" | [[File:Bag Master Ball Sprite.png]] Master Class
|- style="background: #FFF"
| Ranking position
| {{color2|000|JN018|Not Avaliable}}

*[[User:PardescanSlowbro/Pokémon Training Center]]
*[[User:PardescanSlowbro/Unnamed Island (EP060)]] - We have other unnamed island pages like the ones featured during the Orange and Decolore sagas
*[[User:PardescanSlowbro/Big Town Pokémon]] - This one needs further discussion as these are the recurring Pokémon that aren't part of the Pichu Posse, as to whether this should be a separate page or rather the Pichu Posse page gets reconfigured to account for this.
*[[User:PardescanSlowbro/Pershie]]

Regards [[User:PardescanSlowbro|PardescanSlowbro]] ([[User talk:PardescanSlowbro|talk]]) 08:55, 10 March 2020 (UTC)
:*Legend festival should be fine.
:*The PokeStar competition article should detail its competitors like the other competition articles.
:*Same as above.
:*Marina group should be fine.
:*(not sure why it's a subpage of Pershie) Protectors is fine, though is looking bare without a navigation template.
:*Bloom Canyon could do with a bit more, but if nothing else major happens there, then I guess it'd do.
:*Flower Garden Troupe is fine.
:*Pokemon Training Center is fine.
:*Unnamed Island is fine, again navigation template would help it look nicer.
:*Big Town Pokemon needs further discussion about splitting it off from Pichu Brothers.
:*Pershie didn't do much, and didn't really have an impact in any of the episodes it was in. Not notable.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 12:14, 10 March 2020 (UTC)

:Do not edit war. Wait for a response. No response does not mean you can just add it back. Have patience.
:I already said why on Relicanth's talk page. It's an opinion. Relicanth's body design looks nothing like the map of Hoenn.

::I'm not saying it's a map of Hoenn, but it surely is a map. Being brown (like old maps), having unexpleined by any other mean red spot, being unchanged for centuries and always placed sideway instead of heading the player in game sprites, all these things together suggest that.

== Raichu's gender ==

May I ask why the gender of Visquez's Raichu can't be confirmed? It's a Raichu that was first seen after gender differences were implemented, we've seen Pikachu's gender differences before, and her Raichu's tail clearly was that of a male Raichu. I personally fail to see the reason to not consider its gender confirmed based on its tail. --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] ([[User talk:FinnishPokéFan92|talk]]) 21:58, 23 March 2020 (UTC)
:That's Pikachu's gender difference. Not Raichu's gender difference. Just because one gender difference has been acknowledged, does not mean the others exist. They still need to be acknowledged by the animators. They could easily acknowledge one difference but not the other, because they can just be like that sometimes.
:A female Raichu has appeared in the anime, but it was drawn with a male tail (Tierno's). So we still can't use gender differences, until the female variant Raichu appears in the anime. Other than that, it needs to be explicitly stated or hit with attract/cute charm. But you know that already.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 01:39, 24 March 2020 (UTC)

I'm bringing this up now as he's starting making more work on this side of Bulbapedia, notably the [[Elite Four‎‎]] and [[Casey's Meganium]] pages.--[[User:BigDocFan|BigDocFan]] ([[User talk:BigDocFan|talk]]) 22:38, 25 March 2020 (UTC)
::I didn’t upload anything to Casey’s Meganium page, the only thing I did was expand the page, which YEARS passed without anyone putting anything relevant about her role. The other uploads I made with images with the best quality I got, unfortunately I can't change them with the standard quality. If the images of the E4 you are talking about are those of the Pokemon Puzzle League, unfortunately I couldn't get any better, so I wondered if it was better to add content or not. I chose to add the content.

What should I do? There is a page that, as notable as it is, no one takes the trouble to update. It seems that people care more about putting Trivia than really supporting the site. The other day I sent you the screencaptures of a hosted site, but doing that for all the ones I get is an extra job. I don't want to give extra work to the people who collaborate here,[[User:Hikaru Wazana|Hikaru Wazana]] ([[User talk:Hikaru Wazana|talk]]10:15, 31 March 2020 (UTC)
:I don't pay too much attention to the archives side of things, so any issues should be brought up with someone that spends more time over there. As for Hikaru's edits here, they're fine. If they feel like a page can be expanded, they are free to expand it to the best of their abilities.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 12:05, 31 March 2020 (UTC)

== Gender ==

So why exactly you reverted back the table for Pokemon that evolve depending on gender? It wasn't big edit, not even mine.--'''[[User:Team Rocket Grunt|Rocket Grunt]] ([[User talk:Team Rocket Grunt|Report To Me]])''' 17:02, 26 March 2020 (UTC)
:Because it wasn't necessary. Not every page have to have the same template design. You also made a large scale edit without consulting others on the talk page, like you usually do. If you want to suggest a drastic change, always propose it on the talk page first. Don't just do as you please.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 08:00, 27 March 2020 (UTC)
::I'm too convinced that Bulbapedia's style should be precise and consistent as it is on most of pages already. Do you have any reason for this page to not be like the others? Because there is one reason for and zero against. Also, I do many bigger changes by myself because my questions and suggestions are rarely answered and when they do there is almost no reason presented. For example you still haven't answered my question about Tierno's Raichu.--'''[[User:Team Rocket Grunt|Rocket Grunt]] ([[User talk:Team Rocket Grunt|Report To Me]])''' 16:31, 28 March 2020 (UTC)
:::Don't just go ahead with making largescale edits just because no one responds, that does not give you the privilege to just make the edit anyway. Wait for a response. The evolution chain is not the point of that section of the article, so there is not needs for a template that showcases an entire evolutionary line. The article is about gender, so it shows the different gender specific Pokemon. Evolutionary line has nothing to do with the article. And Tierno's Raichu is confirmed female because the original version stated that Attract failed on Blastoise because Blastoise was male.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 16:55, 28 March 2020 (UTC)
::::If there is no point in showing whole evolutionary line, then why don't you simplify it in the same way on other pages? And if Tierno's Raichu is confirmed female then why don't you mention that on page of Visquez's Raichu that it is the reason for not giving him gender.

:::::Just leave it. It's fine the way it is and gets the point across just as well. The point is to show the evolution method and the gender specific forms, since the section is titled "gender based evolution", and using the artwork shows the differences much more clearly than a minisprite. That and your template makes it inconsistent in design with the template right below it.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 16:17, 1 April 2020 (UTC)

== Urshifu ==
Honestly just a small issue I spotted regarding Urshifu's page, where the Tower of Darkness and Tower of Waters are referred to as the Temple of Darkness and Temple of Waters in the evolution box. It's a minor error, but it bothered me, so I made an account specifically to try to fix it, but of course it was protected, which I didn't realize was a thing because I didn't ever consider it. Anyway, just something I felt obligated to point out for the sake of accuracy.

== List Grammar ==

On the Normal (type) page, you reverted my edit to the sentence, "Their inability to hit Ghost-type Pokémon can be nullified by using Foresight, Odor Sleuth, or by Pokémon with the Ability Scrappy." That's a list of two nouns (''Foresight'' and ''Odor Sleuth'') and a prepositional phrase ("by Pokémon with the Ability Scrappy"), which just doesn't work, or a list of two prepositional phrases ("by using Foresight" and "by Pokémon with the Ability Scrappy") and a noun (''Odor Sleuth''), which also just doesn't work. (At least, it doesn't work in American English; I don't know about other major dialects.)

== "In the movies"? ==

Dear ForceFire,

I noticed several of the anime characters that have been featured in the Pokémon movies have sections titled "In the movies", while most are "In the anime". Is there a reason for this, or should it all be standardized to one format?[[User:PardescanSlowbro|PardescanSlowbro]] ([[User talk:PardescanSlowbro|talk]]) 07:28, 30 March 2020 (UTC)
:If they've featured in both the main series and the movie series, then it should have two subsections for anime and movies (order goes by whichever they first appeared in). Movie exclusive characters get a history section.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 08:59, 31 March 2020 (UTC)

== Pokémon seen sections for anime locations ==

Dear ForceFire,

I would also like to clarify what Pokémon are typically included in the Pokémon seen sections of the location pages. While I think we can do away with these sections entirely due to differences in formatting and non-specific images as some appearance have only occurred in a group. I've noticed that some Trainer owned Pokémon are included in these segments, especially locations that hosted Contests, should it only be wild Pokémon and Pokémon known to actually reside in the area with their Trainer? [[User:PardescanSlowbro|PardescanSlowbro]] ([[User talk:PardescanSlowbro|talk]]) 07:34, 30 March 2020 (UTC)
:I think the section is necessary to showcase what Pokemon reside in the area. Multiple images of the same thing for individual Pokemon isn't a problem. It should ideally just be for wild Pokemon. I don't think a trainer's Pokemon being at a location counts, since it technically doesn't reside there (not sure why a contest location would have a section for that).--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 08:59, 31 March 2020 (UTC)

== [[Tracey's Scyther]] ==

The Grammarfreak user insists on putting a "Johto" section for Tracey's Scyther. Since Tracey didn't have a "Johto Journey", does that make any sense?I mean, the Johto and Kanto level is not separated with Kanto arc and Johto arc unless the respective Pokémon has a journey in such a place (Gary's Eevee, Gary Arcanine they are like that as far as I'm concerned, right?).

Doesn't the page just list the point of view of that respective character?Even if you allow me, I think the division should be just in the anime saga (something like Original Series, Advance, Diamond and so on). As is done even in the manga section. In this case of Tracey, what is the point in creating a section to detail a journey it did not take?I don't know I managed to put my point of view correctly, I apologize if you may have been a little confused.[[User:Hikaru Wazana|Hikaru Wazana]] ([[User talk:Hikaru Wazana|talk]]10:30, 31 March 2020 (UTC)
:The history is only separated by region if they have appeared in that region, yes. Though, in the case of Scyther, it did appear after the Orange Island arc but in Kanto and not Johto. I think renaming the section "Kanto", "Other", or "post Orange Islands" would be more appropriate.
:The region specific separation should only be for Pokemon that appeared in two different regions in an arc (so Hoenn and Kanto for AG, Kanto, Orange, and Johto for OS, so on so forth). If the Pokemon has done something notable or important in a region, then it should be noted.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 12:05, 31 March 2020 (UTC)

:Sorry to use another user's conversation, but as the subject is the same ... Well, I started creating a [[User:Hikaru_Wazana/Korrina_(anime)|page for Korrina]]. I wanted your opinion, should I continue with it? I think that here I could start making more exclusive pages for the counterparts of some characters, mainly to relieve the space of some "official" pages of some. Because here there are a lot of pages I could gain from this, as the tidy could be more detailed and the main page would stay with only the basics.
:I think the site has a problem that many people prefer to fill the pages of Trivias, but do not put relevant content on the same page. This happens very often on trainer's Pokémon pages ([[Maylene's Lucario]] for example). But even relevant characters went through this, the page of the matriarch of Village of Dragons was almost a summary and did not even have all the character's participation. Bulbapedia could create a stricter rule for placing Trivias on the pages.

== Blast Burn, etc. ==

Hey, if I recall I don't think I repeatedly edited the pages for Blast Burn and similar moves to state that they were the Kanto starters' signature moves - I think I only edited each of them once (or possibly twice to correct mistakes). But in any case, before XD was released, the Kanto starters ''were'' the only Pokémon that could learn those moves, similar to Greninja with {{m|Water Shuriken}} before ORAS. They're even listed on the [[signature move]] page as such.

Do I need to become an autoconfirmed user first, or do I need some other privileges? Thanks for your help.

== Lickitung's Lick ==

In 2016, you said on Jessie's Lickitung's talk page that the action of licking does not equal the move Lick. However, the announcer in Lickitung's debut episode clearly refers to the action as "Lick attack", as in "Lick the move". If you ask me, this is just an example of an anime move error than an "improvised" move. --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] ([[User talk:FinnishPokéFan92|talk]]) 19:24, 20 April 2020 (UTC)

== Pokérap backwards ==

Hello Force Fire, I was browsing through my previous contributions to the Wiki and decided to look at the controversy page, I noticed that the point about the Pokérap had an inadequate source. After doing a search for "Pokérap" and "Satan" I found no first had source, I reckon this could be a myth like Lavender Town and the Vikings wearing horns on their helmets so removed it but you want a discussion so I'm starting one. The point doesn't have a valid source and makes Christians come across as overly paranoid, I don't think this site should allow misconceptions to spread, I mean after all the Lavender Town point isn't on the page which is a similar myth so why should this one?[[User:Great Bear|Great Bear]] ([[User talk:Great Bear|talk]]) 21:53, 4 May 2020 (UTC)
:The Lavender town myth was actually busted. The Pokerap thing hasn't been busted. Does it make Christians look bad? Maybe? But people from other religions have said stuff about the franchise, so Christians saying such things wouldn't be too far off. I've already had a discussion about this with another user years ago, but it most likely happened during the 90s when Pokemon was at the height of its craze. Stuff like this probably wasn't documented at the time, and if it was, most likely died along with the 90s.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 05:29, 5 May 2020 (UTC)
::Your response comes down to "I speculate that it happened even though there's no evidence to support thid from the time, but I think it happened, therefore it must remain". Just because you think it MIGHT have happened doesn't mean it did and if a source died in the 90s we should assume it didn't happen (evidence must exist to confirm something). I think it seems quite a stretch because why would people decide to play specifically the Kanto Pokérap backwards. This is exactly like the Vikings with horned helmets, no account at the time yet believed to have happened because people spread their ideas after the time. Could it not be reworded to remove the piece about Christian fundamentalist, as we have no evidence that they specifically complained about this and instead just say that people (not Christians) have noticed (not complained) that you might be able to hear "I love you Satan" essentially showing that it's a rumour on the internet.[[User:Great Bear|Great Bear]] ([[User talk:Great Bear|talk]]) 11:09, 5 May 2020 (UTC)
:::I will agree with ForceFire on this one. Given that there was a "Satanic Panic" starting in the 1980s and lasting well into the 1990s before it finally stopped for the most part. I would assume that there was a lot of overly zealous christians at the time trying to say ANYTHING they could to get people to stop being fans of the franchise, including making up lyrics and such that they may have heard in the songs when played backwards. The earliest record I could find making mention of this "backmask message" was from a forum thread documented in 2004 where someone asked if others had heard of this rumor before and if they thought they heard the message as well. So while it has been pretty much impossible to find videos or articles where christian folks are flat out stating this, it likely had been stated at one point in time during the late 90s - early 00s before the website was removed. Given most early internet websites were poorly archived, it would likely be impossible to find records of older christian websites making note of it these days. That being said, as youtuber SteveTerreberry has shown, if you try hard enough, you can hear whatever you want out of a song in reverse, even though 99% of the time, there is nothing there in the lyrics anyways. ''[[User:Frozen Fennec|Frozen]] [[User talk:Frozen Fennec|Fennec]]'' 12:30, 5 May 2020 (UTC)
::::I completely disagree, it all boils down to did Christians specifically say that you could hear "I love Satan" in the Pokérap played backwards. The answer is "we don't know, we have no evidence to show that they ever did" and Frozen Fennec saying that it wasn't properly archived is not an excuse, it needs to be proved and saying that it could have happened but we have no evidence is NOT an excuse. Just because they may have complained about other recordings doesn't mean that they did about this one and shows them as overzealous people who complain about a children's entertainment franchise (which really doesn't portray them as good people, and some people might find this unproven information offensive). Force Fire saying that this hasn't been debunked is also not an excuse because you need to prove that something happened, not assume that something happened because of something that appeared on the internet after the time. Finally it's not opinion it's about objectivity and fact and you need information to prove a FACT otherwise it should only belong on speculative forums and not an encyclopedia.[[User:Great Bear|Great Bear]] ([[User talk:Great Bear|talk]]) 14:58, 5 May 2020 (UTC)

:Tiddlywinks already explained on the Ultra Beasts talk page that they're not legendary Pokemon, but that's obviously not an answer you like. There are multiple sources stating that the Ultra Beasts are not legendary.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 13:43, 25 May 2020 (UTC)

== What are the rules? ==

What are the rules for trivia? It seems all over the place and I get the feeling speculation isn't allowed, but some pages have it in their trivia while others don't. And do administrators here answer to non-admin users? Just so I don't have to deal with asking questions on talk pages and never getting an answer, or making edits and then having them undone without an explanation, I'm posing this [possibly futile] question. If you don't want to answer that's okay, but we're gonna bump heads again in the future and I think it's fair I give you notice.

'''Route 46''' (Japanese: '''４６ばんどうろ''' ''Route 46'') is a route in eastern [[Johto]], connecting {{rt|45|Johto}} and {{rt|29|Johto}}.

==Route description==
Early in the game, {{player}}s can only access the southern part of the route, below the ledges that can be jumped over. The northern part of the route can be accessed via [[Dark Cave]], or the one-way {{rt|45|Johto}} south of [[Blackthorn City]]. At least three [[Badge]]s are required for access via Dark Cave; in [[Generation II]], {{m|Rock Smash}} isn't given out until the player clears the {{p|Sudowoodo}} blocking {{rt|36|Johto}}, while in [[Generation IV]], {{m|Strength}} is now required to clear the path through the cave.

Eiscue (Pokémon)

2020-05-12T20:10:09Z

Blue Ninjakoopa: perhaps it shouldn't focus on dialect, but "Noice" is a corruption of the word "nice" otherwise it wouldn't be one word. not sure how to add it in here without it sounding awkward though

'''Eiscue''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''コオリッポ''' ''Korippo'') is an {{type|Ice}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation VIII]].

While it is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon, Eiscue can change forms with its {{a|Ice Face}} [[Ability]].

==Biology==
Eiscue is a small penguin-like Pokémon with a large ice cube on its head. This ice cube is a light blue, with specks of white seen dotting the surface of it. Two oval-shaped eyes and a beak are seen on the front of it, with a long, antennae-like hair sticking out of the cube. Eiscue's body has two flippers and yellow feet, with three toes on each. Its true face within ice is colored light blue with two white eyes. It has two black eyebrows and a white beak.

Eiscue originates from extremely cold areas. It can produce cold air from inside its head to create ice to protect its head from heat. The ice, however, is not very durable, as a strong blow can shatter it, after which it goes on to create new ice. Eiscue are easygoing and are often seen aimlessly floating in the ocean with just its ice-covered head floating on the surface, occasionally washing up on distant shores. It never panics or gets upset when it ends up in a new land. It simply carries on thanks to its ability to adapt.<ref>https://swordshield.pokemon.com/en-us/pokemon-galar-region/eiscue/</ref> People love the face silly worried expression Eiscue shows when the head ice shatters. Eiscue's hair is connected to the surface of brain, which then chills the air around it when it has something on its mind. The hair is also used to catch prey in the sea.

==Trivia==
* Eiscue shares its {{pkmn|category}} with {{p|Piplup}} and {{p|Prinplup}}. They are all known as the Penguin Pokémon.

===Origin===
Eiscue seems to be based on a {{wp|penguin}} with an {{wp|ice cube}} for a head. It may also draw inspiration from the {{wp|great auk}}, a {{wp|flightless bird}} that used to inhabit the {{wp|British Islands}} before their extinction. Great auks were known for floating with their heads exposed above water and were hunted to be used as fish bait. Their heads would get whiter during winters.

====Name origin====
Eiscue may be derived from ''ice cube''.

Korippo may be a combination of 氷 ''kōri'' (ice) and 立方 ''rippō'' (cube).

'''Electro Ball''' (Japanese: '''エレキボール''' ''Elecball'') is a damage-dealing {{type|Electric}} [[move]] introduced in [[Generation V]]. It is [[TR80]] in Generation VIII.

==Effect==
Electro Ball inflicts more damage the faster the user is compared to the target.

Electro Ball's power is calculated as follows:

{| class="roundy" style="background: #{{Electric color light}}; border: 3px solid #{{Electric color}}"
! style="{{roundytl|5px}}" | Target's Speed
! style="{{roundytr|5px}}" | Power
|- style="background:#FFF"
| More than 100%, or exactly 0
| 40
|- style="background:#FFF"
| 50.01% - 100%
| 60
|- style="background:#FFF"
| 33.34% - 50%
| 80
|- style="background:#FFF"
| 25.01% - 33.33%
| 120
|- style="background:#FFF"
| 0.01% - 25%
| 150
|} 

The Speed values used take all modifiers into account (including stat stages, {{status|paralysis}}, held items such as the [[Iron Ball]], and Abilities such as {{a|Slush Rush}}).

Electro Ball has no effect on Pokémon with {{a|Bulletproof}}.

Electro Ball can also be used as part of a [[Contest combination|Contest Spectacular combination]], with the user gaining extra three appeal points if a certain move ({{m|Agility}}, {{m|Autotomize}}, {{m|Calm Mind}}, {{m|Charge}}, {{m|Rock Polish}}, or {{m|Shell Smash}}) was used in the prior turn.

==In other games==
===[[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series]]===
In [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Gates to Infinity|Gates to Infinity]], as the {{stat|Speed}} stat does not exist in the game, the difference of the user's [[Travel Speed]] and the target's Travel Speed affects damage inflicted to the target. The faster the user is (comparing Travel Speed), the more damage it does.

From {{pkmn|Super Mystery Dungeon}} onward, it compares the Speed stats between the user and the target. The higher the user's Speed stat is compared to the target's, the more damage it does.

'''Eiscue''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''コオリッポ''' ''Korippo'') is an {{type|Ice}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation VIII]].

While it is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon, Eiscue can change forms with its {{a|Ice Face}} [[Ability]].

==Biology==
Eiscue is a small penguin-like Pokémon with a large ice cube on its head. This ice cube is a light blue, with specks of white seen dotting the surface of it. Two oval-shaped eyes and a beak are seen on the front of it, with a long, antennae-like hair sticking out of the cube. Eiscue's body has two flippers and yellow feet, with three toes on each. Its true face within ice is colored light blue with two white eyes. It has two black eyebrows and a white beak.

Eiscue originates from extremely cold areas. It can produce cold air from inside its head to create ice to protect its head from heat. The ice, however, is not very durable, as a strong blow can shatter it, after which it goes on to create new ice. Eiscue are easygoing and are often seen aimlessly floating in the ocean with just its ice-covered head floating on the surface, occasionally washing up on distant shores. It never panics or gets upset when it ends up in a new land. It simply carries on thanks to its ability to adapt.<ref>https://swordshield.pokemon.com/en-us/pokemon-galar-region/eiscue/</ref> People love the face silly worried expression Eiscue shows when the head ice shatters. Eiscue's hair is connected to the surface of brain, which then chills the air around it when it has something on its mind. The hair is also used to catch prey in the sea.

==Trivia==
* Eiscue shares its {{pkmn|category}} with {{p|Piplup}} and {{p|Prinplup}}. They are all known as the Penguin Pokémon.

===Origin===
Eiscue seems to be based on a {{wp|penguin}} with an {{wp|ice cube}} for a head. It may also draw inspiration from the {{wp|great auk}}, a {{wp|flightless bird}} that used to inhabit the {{wp|British Islands}} before their extinction. Great auks were known for floating with their heads exposed above water and were hunted to be used as fish bait. Their heads would get whiter during winters.

====Name origin====
Eiscue may be derived from ''ice cube''. The name of its alternate form, "Noice Face", is a reference to {{wp|British English}} dialect.

Korippo may be a combination of 氷 ''kōri'' (ice) and 立方 ''rippō'' (cube).

'''Eiscue''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''コオリッポ''' ''Korippo'') is an {{type|Ice}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation VIII]].

While it is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon, Eiscue can change forms with its {{a|Ice Face}} [[Ability]].

==Biology==
Eiscue is a small penguin-like Pokémon with a large ice cube on its head. This ice cube is a light blue, with specks of white seen dotting the surface of it. Two oval-shaped eyes and a beak are seen on the front of it, with a long, antennae-like hair sticking out of the cube. Eiscue's body has two flippers and yellow feet, with three toes on each. Its true face within ice is colored light blue with two white eyes. It has two black eyebrows and a white beak.

Eiscue originates from extremely cold areas. It can produce cold air from inside its head to create ice to protect its head from heat. The ice, however, is not very durable, as a strong blow can shatter it, after which it goes on to create new ice. Eiscue are easygoing and are often seen aimlessly floating in the ocean with just its ice-covered head floating on the surface, occasionally washing up on distant shores. It never panics or gets upset when it ends up in a new land. It simply carries on thanks to its ability to adapt.<ref>https://swordshield.pokemon.com/en-us/pokemon-galar-region/eiscue/</ref> People love the face silly worried expression Eiscue shows when the head ice shatters. Eiscue's hair is connected to the surface of brain, which then chills the air around it when it has something on its mind. The hair is also used to catch prey in the sea.

'''Snowpoint City''' (Japanese: '''キッサキシティ''' ''Kissaki City'') is a snow-covered city located at the far north of [[Sinnoh]], where snow blows down from the top of [[Mt. Coronet]] causing low temperatures. Snowpoint City and the three routes that lead to it ({{rt|216|Sinnoh}}, {{rt|217|Sinnoh}}, and [[Acuity Lakefront]]) are also completely covered in snow. To the northeast of Route 217, [[Lake Acuity]] can be found. A cave, which houses {{p|Uxie}}, is located in the middle of Lake Acuity. Given the snow which affects every battle on the two routes leading to the city, as well as the fact that to get to Route 216 from the rest of Sinnoh one must pass through [[Mt. Coronet]], the most convenient way to get to the city is to {{m|Fly}}. There is a port here from which the {{player}} can board the [[S.S. Spiral]] (known as S.S. Sinnoh in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}) to access the [[Fight Area]] at the [[Battle Zone]], but only after entering the [[Hall of Fame]]. Its [[Snowpoint Temple|temple]] is home to the [[Legendary Pokémon]] {{p|Regigigas}}. There is also a [[Move Tutor]] in Snowpoint in {{game|Platinum}}.

==Slogan==
'''''City of Snow''''' (Japanese: '''{{j|こおりきらめくゆきのまち}}''' ''The city of snow and glittering ice.'')

==Places of interest==
===Snowpoint Temple===
{{main|Snowpoint Temple}}
[[File:Snowpoint Temple DPPt.png|thumb|200px|left|The Snowpoint Temple]]
Although Snowpoint City is not home to much, a noticeable landmark in the area is [[Snowpoint Temple]], which can only be accessed after the Sinnoh [[Elite Four]] have been beaten and the [[National Pokédex]] has been obtained. The temple contains five floors, with odd bits of slippery ice. At the very bottom of the temple lies a dormant Regigigas. To awaken this Legendary Pokémon, the player must bring all three of the [[Legendary titans]] along with them, which are all only available normally in the [[Generation III]] games. Through an event Regigigas, the Legendary titans can also be obtained in {{v2|Platinum}} and will activate the in-game Regigigas.

===Northeast house===
Snowpoint's north-easternmost house is home to the place where {{DL|Trend|Generation IV|trendy phrases}} are obtained. Every day, players can go to the farthest house in the northeast and receive a new trendy phrase. A trendy phrase is an additional phrase which can be used in the [[easy chat system]]. It appears in the "Tough Words" category. There are thirty-two different possibilities, all obtainable from an elderly man in the northeasternmost house in the city. Only one may be obtained daily, and receiving a new trendy phrase will not alter any {{cat|game mechanics}}. They typically refer to {{wp|science}}, {{wp|business}} and {{wp|the arts}}.

In Pokémon Platinum, a Move Tutor may also be found here.

===In-game trade===
In the north-westernmost house, a girl named Mindy will [[In-game trade|trade]] a {{p|Haunter}} holding an [[Everstone]] (which prevents it from evolving into {{p|Gengar}}) for a {{p|Medicham}}. The Haunter is nicknamed "Gaspar" and the OT is "Mindy". The Haunter's ID number is 19248.

===Diamond dust===
[[File:Diamond Dust IV.png|frame|right|Diamond dust in Platinum]]
{{main|Easter egg#Diamond dust|Easter egg → Easter eggs in the games → Diamond dust}}
On January 10, 2008, [[Junichi Masuda]] posted a blog entry urging players to play their Diamond or Pearl on January 12. On that day, the same day as Masuda's [[birthday]], a [[weather]] effect called {{wp|diamond dust}} occurred in Snowpoint City, replacing the usual snow. It resembles glitter in the air. It is purely aesthetic, since it only occurs within the city where no battles are possible.

===Snowpoint Gym===
{{main|Snowpoint Gym}}
The '''Snowpoint Gym''' is the official [[Gym]] of Snowpoint City. It is based on {{type|Ice}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. The [[Gym Leader]] is [[Candice]]. {{pkmn|Trainer}}s who defeat her receive the {{Badge|Icicle}}. The Snowpoint City Gym is a Gym consisting of a three-tier ice rink with slides connecting the various tiers and snowballs blocking progress through the Gym. To reach the Gym Leader, Trainers have to slide around the Gym and destroy the balls of snow blocking the way. For defeating [[Candice]], Trainers receive the {{Badge|Icicle}}, {{TM|72|Avalanche}}, and the ability to use {{m|Rock Climb}} outside of battle.

==Demographics==
[[File:Snowpoint City DP.png|thumb|200px|right|Snowpoint City in {{2v2|Diamond|Pearl}}]]
===Pokémon Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum===
In {{3v2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}} the population of Snowpoint City is 31. This is very noteworthy considering its northern location and isolation from other cities in Sinnoh.

==In the anime==
[[File:Snowpoint City anime.png|thumb|250px|Snowpoint City in the anime]]
[[File:Snowpoint City SS.png|thumb|250px|Snowpoint City in the [[new series]]]]
In the {{pkmn|anime}}, Snowpoint City is the [[hometown]] of {{an|Dawn}}'s [[rival]] [[Zoey]]. According to [[Nurse Joy]], it is [[Sinnoh]]'s northernmost city. It has a [[Pokémon academy]] that offers classes for both kids and adults wishing to learn more about {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. The city was first mentioned in ''[[DP075|Our Cup Runneth Over!]]'', when {{Ash}} was informed that someone had contacted him from there. It was later revealed that {{an|May}} had placed a call to him from there; after coming to Sinnoh to compete in the [[Wallace Cup]], she decided to stop by Snowpoint City first to evolve her {{p|Eevee}} into {{TP|May|Glaceon}} in front of an [[Ice Rock]] that was located near the city.

Ash and {{ashfr}} first arrived in Snowpoint City in ''[[DP126|Classroom Training!]]'', with Ash intending to challenge the local [[Gym Leader]], [[Candice]]. However, before their {{pkmn|battle}}, Ash spent some time at the [[Pokémon academy|Snowpoint Trainers' School]] where Candice teaches. In the [[DP127|next episode]], Ash defeated Candice and earned himself the {{badge|Icicle}}, his seventh [[Sinnoh League]] Badge overall.

Just as Ash finished his battle with Candice, his rival [[Paul]] arrived, wanting to challenge Candice for the Icicle Badge as well. Before he did, the [[Battle Pyramid]] flew into Snowpoint City, and Paul battled [[Pyramid King Brandon]] to see if he could win against the one [[Kanto]] [[Frontier Brain]] his brother [[Reggie]] failed to defeat. Their battle took place in ''[[DP128|A Pyramiding Rage!]]'', and just like his brother, Paul lost to Brandon, being unable to defeat his {{TP|Brandon|Legendary titans}}.

After this battle, in ''[[DP129|Pillars of Friendship!]]'', it was discovered that {{pkmn|poacher|Pokémon Hunter}} [[J]] had broken into [[Snowpoint Temple]] in an attempt to steal the {{p|Regigigas}} that lives there. According to legend, long ago, there had been a violent volcanic eruption that had turned the once-beautiful Snowpoint Forest into a sea of lava. Out of a bright blue light, {{p|Regigigas}} had appeared with the [[Legendary titans]] and the four had stopped the volcanic eruption, saving Snowpoint City. Afterwards, Regigigas had gone into a deep sleep in the Snowpoint Temple, protected by {{p|Regirock}}, {{p|Regice}}, and {{p|Registeel}}, who had transformed into guardian pillars. In the episode, J was defeated but the temple was nearly destroyed in the battle. Brandon left his three titans behind as protectors and promised to rebuild the temple.

Snowpoint City appeared again in ''[[DP161|Yes in Dee Dee, It's Dawn!]]'', where Zoey and Candice were shown watching Dawn's [[Double Performance]] in the [[Daybreak Town]] [[Pokémon Contest]] on [[television]]. It appeared once more in ''[[DP177|A Grand Fight for Winning!]]'' with Candice, [[Jeremiah]], and other students watching the [[Contest Battle]] between Dawn and Zoey in the finals of the [[Sinnoh Grand Festival]]. After the competition, Zoey headed back to her hometown, where Candice was throwing a party in celebration of Zoey fulfilling her goal of becoming a [[Top Coordinator]].

Throughout their time in Snowpoint City, Ash and his friends wore winter clothing, which they received earlier from [[Johanna]] in ''[[DP125|Battling a Cute Drama!]]''.

In [[SS008]], Ash and {{an|Go}} traveled to Snowpoint City to return a {{p|Piplup}} that had swam all the way to [[Vermilion City]] to its {{pkmn|Trainer}}, {{OBP|Misaki|SS008}}. During this visit, Go {{pkmn2|caught}} a {{p|Mantyke}}, and both Ash and Go took part in the annual [[Pokémon Drift Ice Race]], although the race was later cancelled following an interruption by {{TRT}}.

==In the manga==
===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
{{incomplete|section}}
{{adv|Platinum}} visited Snowpoint City by herself, after agreeing with {{adv|Diamond}} and {{adv|Pearl}} that she should investigate [[Lake Acuity]]. Platinum challenged the city's [[Gym Leader]] [[Candice]] to a battle, which was watched by [[Maylene]], and won. The two Gym Leaders then agreed to go to Lake Acuity with Platinum.

After a crushing defeat to {{tc|Commander}} [[Jupiter]], the three woke up at Snowpoint City's [[Pokémon Center]]. Candice then requested [[Byron]] to find someone to train her, Maylene and Platinum.

==Trivia==
* Snowpoint is home to the northernmost point of access in the games — the entrance of Snowpoint Temple is very slightly north of the northernmost point that can be accessed in the [[Flower Paradise]].
* Snowpoint City is one of only two cities or towns that is connected to another location that does not connect directly to a route; before reaching a route one must pass through [[Acuity Lakefront]] first. The other is [[Lentimas Town]] in [[Unova]].
* Because of the snow, Snowpoint is one of two locations where bicycles cannot be ridden, though the only one in Sinnoh. The other is [[Pacifidlog Town]] in [[Hoenn]].
* Snowpoint is the hometown of {{an|Dawn}}'s rival, [[Zoey]].
* Snowpoint is similar to [[Mahogany Town]] in [[Johto]] and [[Icirrus City]] in [[Unova]]. All three have the 7th Gym to their regions which are all {{t|Ice}} type. They are also near a lake (Snowpoint is near Lake Acuity, whereas Mahogany Town is near the Lake of Rage, and Icirrus City has several lakes surrounding the city.) All places are also near a location that has something to do with snow, hail, or ice (Snowpoint is near the Acuity Lakefront, where it's always snowing; Mahogany Town is near the Ice Path; Icirrus City experiences snowfalls in the winter time.)
* The traversable area of Snowpoint City is shaped like a snowflake when viewed from above.
** Snowpoint's snowflake shape, however, has eight points. Because of the properties of water molecules, real snowflakes only ever have 6 points or sides.

'''Hearthome City''' (Japanese: '''ヨスガシティ''' ''Yosuga City'') is a city in the [[Sinnoh]] [[region]]. Hearthome City is the fifth-largest city in the [[Pokémon world]]. Hearthome City is home to the [[Contest Hall|Super Contest Hall]], where one can take part in the {{pkmn|Super Contest}}, a [[Gym]], the [[Pokémon Fan Club]], and the [[Poffin House]], among other things. A hiker will give the {{player}} a {{p|Happiny}} {{pkmn|Egg}} here in {{2v2|Diamond|Pearl}}. Hearthome City started as a place where people and {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} gathered and grew into a center of commerce, and is consistently voted as the most desirable place to live in all of Sinnoh. It is also a gateway to nearby [[Solaceon Town]] and [[Pastoria City]].

Hearthome City is a child-friendly city; there are many families and young mothers living there, some of whom can be seen with prams. Most of the buildings use elevators instead of stairs so that small children and Pokémon can move through the houses. The citizens scrupulously keep their city clean.

In {{v2|Platinum}}, the road paving was given an update so it is now all beige. The tree's sprites were changed to match those in Platinum's [[Eterna Forest]]. In addition, the appearance of the entrances to [[Amity Square]] was modified so that the arch features a Psyduck, a Torchic and a Drifloon, and a Pikachu on its back.

==Slogan==
'''''Warm & Kind''''' (Japanese: '''{{j|こころがふれあうばしょ}}''' ''Where hearts touch each other.'')

==Places of interest==
===Super Contest Hall===
[[File:Super Contest Hall DPPt.png|thumb|280px|right|The Super Contest Hall]]
{{main|Contest Hall}}
The biggest attraction, garnering contestants from all throughout the region, is the Super Contest Hall. The Super Contest Hall is an expanded format of the [[Pokémon Contest]]s within [[Hoenn]]. In it, Pokémon are rated on their appearance and performance, rather than strength. They are different from the previous generation's competitions in that not only do they have more rounds, but rounds from the earlier games have been altered. The city's [[Gym Leader]], [[Fantina]], is a self-proclaimed master at Pokémon Super Contests.

In {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}, access to {{rt|209|Sinnoh}} is blocked until the player visits the Super Contest Hall.

===Amity Square===
{{main|Amity Square}}
[[File:Amity Square entrance Pt.png|thumb|200px|The entrance to Amity Square in Platinum]]
A notable attraction is Amity Square, where {{pkmn|Trainer}}s relax with their Pokémon. Eleven different types of cute Pokémon will follow the player about in Amity Square, and many Pokémon wander about the city outside of their [[Poké Ball]]s. Amity Square is located north of Hearthome City. The setup in Amity Square is identical to the {{p|Pikachu}} interaction system that was in {{game|Yellow}}. Only certain small Pokémon can be taken for walks in Amity Square, usually of a "cute" appearance. Pokémon will fetch [[Accessory|Accessories]] or [[Berry|Berries]] for their owners every 200 steps. In {{game|Platinum}}, more Pokémon are allowed in than before, and the area has been expanded and redesigned. It now includes a rather large pool of water.

===Pokémon Fan Club===
{{main|Pokémon Fan Club}}
The Sinnoh's Pokémon Fan Club is located in the eastern area of Hearthome City. The Fan Club is basically a place for people to meet and chat about their favorite Pokémon and to show off their collections to each other. In general, the members are usually more oriented to unevolved, cute Pokémon and [[Pokémon Contest]]s than [[Pokémon battle]]s. The Sinnoh Pokémon Fan Club Chairman says that his Fan Club is number one nationwide because he brags more than anyone. However, he doesn't do it anymore because of people's complaints. This may also explain why only two other members are found in his club. Inside the Pokémon Fan Club, the player will receive the [[Poffin Case]], needed to bake [[Poffin]]s. Another member of the club will rate the [[friendship]] of first Pokémon in the player's party.

===Poffin House===
{{main|Poffin House}}
The Poffin House is also here, where {{pkmn|Coordinator}}s can bake [[Poffin]]s to boost their Pokémon's [[Contest condition|condition]] for [[Pokémon Super Contest]]s, either alone or through DS Wireless Communications with people nearby. Up to four people may bake at a time. The Poffin House is located west of the [[Poké Mart]] where the {{player}} can make [[Poffin]]s, which are the replacement of [[Pokéblock]]s from {{3v2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}. The player has to speak to the lady a little to the left of the entrance, throw in his or her selected [[Berry]] and start stirring the liquid to begin creating their own Poffin. The Poffin's level depends on the amount of time consumed cooking the Poffin, the number of burns, and the number of spills.

===Bebe's House===
[[Bebe]], the system administrator for Sinnoh's [[Pokémon Storage System]] who will also give the player an {{p|Eevee}} living in the midst of Hearthome City. Her house, which is next to the [[Pokémon Center]] in Hearthome, is not quite as cluttered as Lanette's. Bebe is good friends with [[Hayley]], who owns a [[My Pokémon Ranch|ranch in which Pokémon can be stored]], and they still keep in contact with each other. After the player obtains the [[National Pokédex]] in {{2v2|Diamond|Pearl}}, she will give them a [[level]] 5 {{p|Eevee}}. This Eevee came from a [[Bill|good friend in Johto]] before being passed onto the player. In {{game|Platinum}}, the Eevee is available right away at level 20, without the need of the National Pokédex.

===Mr. Goods===
{{main|Mr. Goods}}
[[Mr. Goods]] lives on the street of Hearthome, although he claims he can't remember who he is or his real name. He is a bemused man dedicated to rarities who gives out [[goods]] to decorate the [[Secret Base]] in the [[Sinnoh Underground]] with upon completion of certain tasks, such as using the [[Global Terminal|GTS]] or defeating all eight [[Gym]]s. Mr. Goods will also reward a Trainer for other miscellaneous achievements.

===Foreign Building===
[[File:Foreign Building DPPt.png|thumb|200px|right|The Foreign Building]]
The Foreign Building (Japanese: いぶんかのたてもの ''Foreign Culture Building'') is a building located in the western side of Hearthome City. It has six benches and stained glass windows. All the people there talk about the grace of life in the [[Pokémon world]], supernatural powers, and the balance of spirit and nature. It seems to be loosely based on a church or cathedral, and is the first building in all the Pokémon games to be so. Respectfully, no music can be heard in the building. In the morning, one can see a piece of the wall jutting out behind the stone tablets on either side of the inside.

===Pokémon Hotel===
In the middle of the city, next to the Pokémon Fan Club, is a hotel called the Pokémon Hotel. There are only two accessible floors within the hotel. These can be accessed to by a large, automatic elevator. Many visitors come from all parts of the world to enter the Super Contest, or visit Amity Square. Visitors can stay here for a while to enjoy the parts of Hearthome. The landlord inhibits the first floor, and on the second floor lives a woman and a {{p|Clefairy}}. She will give the player a [[Shell Bell]], saying that she was given it on vacation, but already had one.

===Hearthome Gym===
{{main|Hearthome Gym}}
The Hearthome Gym is the official [[Gym]] of Hearthome City. It is based on {{type|Ghost}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. The [[Gym Leader]] is [[Fantina]]. {{pkmn|Trainer}}s who defeat her receive the {{Badge|Relic}}. In {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}, the Hearthome Gym is the fifth Gym and Fantina cannot be challenged until after the player has received {{HM|03|Surf}} from [[Cynthia]]'s grandmother in [[Celestic Town]]. In {{game|Platinum}}, however, the Hearthome Gym is the third Gym and can be challenged immediately.

In Diamond and Pearl, the Gym consists of five stories, with a mathematical puzzle on each floor and three doors corresponding to a potential answer, with the correct door leading to the next floor and the wrong doors leading only to a battle with a Trainer. In Platinum, the inside of the Gym is shrouded in darkness and the player must navigate using a flashlight.

For defeating Fantina, Trainers receive the Relic Badge and {{TM|65|Shadow Claw}}. They also gain the ability to use {{m|Surf}} outside of battle in Diamond and Pearl, or {{m|Defog}} in Platinum.

==Demographics==
[[File:Hearthome City DP.png|thumb|300px|Hearthome City in Diamond and Pearl]]
===Pokémon Diamond and Pearl===
In {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}, the population of Hearthome City is 91 people. It is [[Sinnoh]]'s largest city and one of the largest cities in the [[Pokémon world]]. Given that it is the only town in the Pokémon world to feature babies, it probably has the lowest age distribution too.

===Pokémon Platinum===
In {{game|Platinum}}, the population of Hearthome City has decreased to 81 people. Despite the drop, it is still one of the largest cities in the [[Pokémon world]].

==In the anime==
[[File:Hearthome City anime.png|thumb|250px|right|Hearthome City in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]
{{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} first arrived in Hearthome City in ''[[DP049|Dawn's Early Night!]]''. Ash was excited at the opportunity to win his third [[Sinnoh]] [[Gym]] [[Badge]] and went running through the city along with {{cat|Ash's Pokémon|his Pokémon}} to get to the [[Hearthome Gym]]. However, the [[Gym Leader]] was not present, and they were instead greeted by [[Nando]], who informed them about the [[Hearthome City Tag Battle Competition]]. This got Ash and {{an|Brock}} interested and they decided to enter the tournament together as a team. Later, {{an|Dawn}} and Nando headed to the [[Contest Hall]] to compete in the city's [[Pokémon Contest]]. On their way, they met up with [[Zoey]], another one of Dawn's [[rival]]s who was also entering the Hearthome Contest.

As Zoey explained to Dawn in ''[[DP041|A Stand-Up Sit-Down!]]'', the Hearthome City Pokémon Contest follows the [[Double Performance]] format, meaning that all {{pkmn|Coordinator}}s have to show off two {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} at once in the [[Appeal|Performance Stage]] in order to advance to the second round, which consists of [[Double Battle|two-on-two]] [[Contest Battle]]s. The event began later that day, with [[Jessie|Jessilina]] also participating. For the first round, Dawn called out her {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}} and {{TP|Dawn|Pachirisu}}. Although their performance received positive reviews from all three [[Contest Judge|judges]], it was not enough to send Dawn to the Battle Stage. As a result, Dawn was eliminated from the competition while her rivals moved on to the second round. There, Nando was seen depleting all of Jessilina's points to advance to the finals, where he faced off against Zoey. He was able to defeat her with the help of his {{TP|Nando|Kricketune}} and {{TP|Nando|Roselia}}, thus earning the Hearthome Ribbon, his second {{pkmn|Contest}} [[Ribbon]] overall.

[[File:Hearthome Ribbon.png|thumb|left|220px|The Hearthome Ribbon]]
The city's [[Multi Battle|Tag Battle]] tournament began in ''[[DP050|Tag! We're It...!]]'', where it was revealed that the competing {{pkmn|Trainer}}s would be randomly paired up by a computer. For this reason, Ash, Dawn, and Brock got tagged with [[Paul]], [[Conway]], and [[Holly]], respectively. During the first round, they all managed to defeat their opponents and, in ''[[DP051|Glory Blaze!]]'', they proved successful once again by winning their battles in the second round. Before the semifinals, Paul {{pkmn2|released}} his {{TP|Paul|Chimchar}} due to its inability to activate {{a|Blaze}} during their last battle. Chimchar was then invited to join Ash's [[Party|team]]. In ''[[DP052|Smells Like Team Spirit!]]'', Dawn and Conway made it to the finals while Paul and Ash went up against Brock and Holly. [[Brock's Croagunk]] and Holly's {{p|Farfetch'd}} were no match for [[Paul's Torterra]] and they were easily defeated, bringing Ash and Paul to the finals. There, Ash and Paul sent out {{AP|Chimchar}} and {{TP|Paul|Elekid}} while Dawn and Conway called out {{TP|Dawn|Buizel}} and {{p|Heracross}}. During their battle, Paul's {{p|Elekid}} [[Evolution|evolved]] into {{p|Electabuzz}}, which helped Ash and Paul win the competition.

In ''[[DP086|Arriving in Style!]]'', the group returned to Hearthome City for Ash's [[Gym]] {{pkmn|battle}}, only to find out the Gym Leader was still out of town, developing a new battling style. While in the city, Ash and Dawn were invited by [[Paris]] to enter the [[Hearthome Collection]], a fashion show for {{pkmn|Stylist}}s and their Pokémon where the winner gets to work on a photo shoot for the {{DL|Magazines in the Pokémon world|Poké Chic}} magazine. Together with [[Cocoa]] and [[Jessie|Jessilina]], Ash and Dawn entered the event. In the end, Ash, Dawn, and Cocoa were chosen by Paris and [[Hermione]] as the three finalists. When the results were announced, it was revealed that Ash and {{AP|Pikachu}} had placed third and would be given the Unique Award for their originality, while Cocoa and {{p|Mismagius}} would receive the Accessory Award as a prize for getting to second place. Dawn and {{TP|Dawn|Buneary}} were declared as the big winners, but Dawn said she wouldn't be taking part in the Poké Chic campaign in order to focus on her {{pkmn|Coordinator}} {{pkmn|training}}.

Ash met with [[Fantina]] upon returning to Hearthome City in ''[[DP101|Barry's Busting Out All Over!]]'', and finally had an official Gym battle against her in ''[[DP102|Shield with a Twist!]]''. He managed to defeat her and earn the {{Badge|Relic}}, his fifth [[Sinnoh League]] Badge overall.

==In the manga==
===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
{{adv|Platinum}}, {{adv|Diamond}}, and {{adv|Pearl}} arrive in Hearthome City in ''[[PS350|Booying with Buneary]]'' and stumble upon [[Keira]]'s Buneary. They follow it to the Super Contest Hall, where they meet Keira. With the help of Sinnoh's [[Pokémon Fan Club Chairman]], the trio prepare for Platinum's upcoming Normal Rank [[Super Contest]], which Platinum wins. The next day, the trio meet [[Fantina]], the city's [[Gym Leader]], who helps them out of the city by air when [[Paka and Uji]] spot them.

The trio later return to Hearthome City together with Fantina from [[Celestic Town]], and Platinum later challenges her in a Gym battle. After winning the battle, Platinum learns that her father was captured, and Fantina lends her {{p|Drifblim}} so that the trio can get to [[Canalave City]] quickly.

The city is a fashion capital according to Platinum's Sinnoh travel guide.

==Trivia==
* In the English dub of the {{pkmn|anime}}, {{an|Enta}} is the mayor of Hearthome City.
* Only in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}, Hearthome is one of the three cities that are more populous than the largest city in its home region, the others being [[Celadon City]] in [[Kanto]] and [[Nimbasa City]] in [[Unova]]. They are more populous than [[Jubilife City]], [[Saffron City]] and [[Castelia City]] respectively.
* In Pokémon Platinum, Hearthome City seems to push the limits of what the DS can handle, and tends to lag when the player runs outside of a building.

'''Hearthome City''' (Japanese: '''ヨスガシティ''' ''Yosuga City'') is a city in the [[Sinnoh]] [[region]]. Hearthome City is the fifth-largest city in the [[Pokémon world]]. Hearthome City is home to the [[Contest Hall|Super Contest Hall]], where one can take part in the {{pkmn|Super Contest}}, a [[Gym]], the [[Pokémon Fan Club]], and the [[Poffin House]], among other things. A hiker will give the {{player}} a {{p|Happiny}} {{pkmn|Egg}} here in {{2v2|Diamond|Pearl}}. Hearthome City started as a place where people and {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} gathered and grew into a center of commerce, and is consistently voted as the most desirable place to live in all of Sinnoh. It is also a gateway to nearby [[Solaceon Town]] and [[Pastoria City]].

Hearthome City is a child-friendly city; there are many families and young mothers living there, some of whom can be seen with prams. Most of the buildings use elevators instead of stairs so that small children and Pokémon can move through the houses. The citizens scrupulously keep their city clean.

In {{v2|Platinum}}, the road paving was given an update so it is now all beige. The tree's sprites were changed to match those in Platinum's [[Eterna Forest]]. In addition, the appearance of the entrances to [[Amity Square]] was modified so that the arch features a Psyduck, a Torchic and a Drifloon, and a Pikachu on its back.

==Slogan==
'''''Warm & Kind''''' (Japanese: '''{{j|こころがふれあうばしょ}}''' ''Where hearts touch each other.'')

==Places of interest==
===Super Contest Hall===
[[File:Super Contest Hall DPPt.png|thumb|280px|right|The Super Contest Hall]]
{{main|Contest Hall}}
The biggest attraction, garnering contestants from all throughout the region, is the Super Contest Hall. The Super Contest Hall is an expanded format of the [[Pokémon Contest]]s within [[Hoenn]]. In it, Pokémon are rated on their appearance and performance, rather than strength. They are different from the previous generation's competitions in that not only do they have more rounds, but rounds from the earlier games have been altered. The city's [[Gym Leader]], [[Fantina]], is a self-proclaimed master at Pokémon Super Contests.

In {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}, access to {{rt|209|Sinnoh}} is blocked until the player visits the Super Contest Hall.

===Amity Square===
{{main|Amity Square}}
[[File:Amity Square entrance Pt.png|thumb|200px|The entrance to Amity Square in Platinum]]
A notable attraction is Amity Square, where {{pkmn|Trainer}}s relax with their Pokémon. Eleven different types of cute Pokémon will follow the player about in Amity Square, and many Pokémon wander about the city outside of their [[Poké Ball]]s. Amity Square is located north of Hearthome City. The setup in Amity Square is identical to the {{p|Pikachu}} interaction system that was in {{game|Yellow}}. Only certain small Pokémon can be taken for walks in Amity Square, usually of a "cute" appearance. Pokémon will fetch [[Accessory|Accessories]] or [[Berry|Berries]] for their owners every 200 steps. In {{game|Platinum}}, more Pokémon are allowed in than before, and the area has been expanded and redesigned. It now includes a rather large pool of water.

===Pokémon Fan Club===
{{main|Pokémon Fan Club}}
The Sinnoh's Pokémon Fan Club is located in the eastern area of Hearthome City. The Fan Club is basically a place for people to meet and chat about their favorite Pokémon and to show off their collections to each other. In general, the members are usually more oriented to unevolved, cute Pokémon and [[Pokémon Contest]]s than [[Pokémon battle]]s. The Sinnoh Pokémon Fan Club Chairman says that his Fan Club is number one nationwide because he brags more than anyone. However, he doesn't do it anymore because of people's complaints. This may also explain why only two other members are found in his club. Inside the Pokémon Fan Club, the player will receive the [[Poffin Case]], needed to bake [[Poffin]]s. Another member of the club will rate the [[friendship]] of first Pokémon in the player's party.

===Poffin House===
{{main|Poffin House}}
The Poffin House is also here, where {{pkmn|Coordinator}}s can bake [[Poffin]]s to boost their Pokémon's [[Contest condition|condition]] for [[Pokémon Super Contest]]s, either alone or through DS Wireless Communications with people nearby. Up to four people may bake at a time. The Poffin House is located west of the [[Poké Mart]] where the {{player}} can make [[Poffin]]s, which are the replacement of [[Pokéblock]]s from {{3v2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}. The player has to speak to the lady a little to the left of the entrance, throw in his or her selected [[Berry]] and start stirring the liquid to begin creating their own Poffin. The Poffin's level depends on the amount of time consumed cooking the Poffin, the number of burns, and the number of spills.

===Bebe's House===
[[Bebe]], the system administrator for Sinnoh's [[Pokémon Storage System]] who will also give the player an {{p|Eevee}} living in the midst of Hearthome City. Her house, which is next to the [[Pokémon Center]] in Hearthome, is not quite as cluttered as Lanette's. Bebe is good friends with [[Hayley]], who owns a [[My Pokémon Ranch|ranch in which Pokémon can be stored]], and they still keep in contact with each other. After the player obtains the [[National Pokédex]] in {{2v2|Diamond|Pearl}}, she will give them a [[level]] 5 {{p|Eevee}}. This Eevee came from a [[Bill|good friend in Johto]] before being passed onto the player. In {{game|Platinum}}, the Eevee is available right away at level 20, without the need of the National Pokédex.

===Mr. Goods===
{{main|Mr. Goods}}
[[Mr. Goods]] lives on the street of Hearthome, although he claims he can't remember who he is or his real name. He is a bemused man dedicated to rarities who gives out [[goods]] to decorate the [[Secret Base]] in the [[Sinnoh Underground]] with upon completion of certain tasks, such as using the [[Global Terminal|GTS]] or defeating all eight [[Gym]]s. Mr. Goods will also reward a Trainer for other miscellaneous achievements.

===Foreign Building===
[[File:Foreign Building DPPt.png|thumb|200px|right|The Foreign Building]]
The Foreign Building (Japanese: いぶんかのたてもの ''Foreign Culture Building'') is a building located in the western side of Hearthome City. It has six benches and stained glass windows. All the people there talk about the grace of life in the [[Pokémon world]], supernatural powers, and the balance of spirit and nature. It seems to be loosely based on a church or cathedral, and is the first building in all the Pokémon games to be so. Respectfully, no music can be heard in the building. In the morning, one can see a piece of the wall jutting out behind the stone tablets on either side of the inside.

===Pokémon Hotel===
In the middle of the city, next to the Pokémon Fan Club, is a hotel called the Pokémon Hotel. There are only two accessible floors within the hotel. These can be accessed to by a large, automatic elevator. Many visitors come from all parts of the world to enter the Super Contest, or visit Amity Square. Visitors can stay here for a while to enjoy the parts of Hearthome. The landlord inhibits the first floor, and on the second floor lives a woman and a {{p|Clefairy}}. She will give the player a [[Shell Bell]], saying that she was given it on vacation, but already had one.

===Hearthome Gym===
{{main|Hearthome Gym}}
The Hearthome Gym is the official [[Gym]] of Hearthome City. It is based on {{type|Ghost}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. The [[Gym Leader]] is [[Fantina]]. {{pkmn|Trainer}}s who defeat her receive the {{Badge|Relic}}. In {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}, the Hearthome Gym is the fifth Gym and Fantina cannot be challenged until after the player has received {{HM|03|Surf}} from [[Cynthia]]'s grandmother in [[Celestic Town]]. In {{game|Platinum}}, however, the Hearthome Gym is the third Gym and can be challenged immediately.

In Diamond and Pearl, the Gym consists of five stories, with a mathematical puzzle on each floor and three doors corresponding to a potential answer, with the correct door leading to the next floor and the wrong doors leading only to a battle with a Trainer. In Platinum, the inside of the Gym is shrouded in darkness and the player must navigate using a flashlight.

For defeating Fantina, Trainers receive the Relic Badge and {{TM|65|Shadow Claw}}. They also gain the ability to use {{m|Surf}} outside of battle in Diamond and Pearl, or {{m|Defog}} in Platinum.

==Demographics==
[[File:Hearthome City DP.png|thumb|300px|Hearthome City in Diamond and Pearl]]
===Pokémon Diamond and Pearl===
In {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}, the population of Hearthome City is 91 people. It is [[Sinnoh]]'s largest city and one of the largest cities in the [[Pokémon world]]. Given that it is the only town in the Pokémon world to feature babies, it probably has the lowest age distribution too.

===Pokémon Platinum===
In {{game|Platinum}}, the population of Hearthome City has decreased to 81 people. Despite the drop, it is still one of the largest cities in the [[Pokémon world]].

==In the anime==
[[File:Hearthome City anime.png|thumb|250px|right|Hearthome City in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]
{{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} first arrived in Hearthome City in ''[[DP049|Dawn's Early Night!]]''. Ash was excited at the opportunity to win his third [[Sinnoh]] [[Gym]] [[Badge]] and went running through the city along with {{cat|Ash's Pokémon|his Pokémon}} to get to the [[Hearthome Gym]]. However, the [[Gym Leader]] was not present, and they were instead greeted by [[Nando]], who informed them about the [[Hearthome City Tag Battle Competition]]. This got Ash and {{an|Brock}} interested and they decided to enter the tournament together as a team. Later, {{an|Dawn}} and Nando headed to the [[Contest Hall]] to compete in the city's [[Pokémon Contest]]. On their way, they met up with [[Zoey]], another one of Dawn's [[rival]]s who was also entering the Hearthome Contest.

As Zoey explained to Dawn in ''[[DP041|A Stand-Up Sit-Down!]]'', the Hearthome City Pokémon Contest follows the [[Double Performance]] format, meaning that all {{pkmn|Coordinator}}s have to show off two {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} at once in the [[Appeal|Performance Stage]] in order to advance to the second round, which consists of [[Double Battle|two-on-two]] [[Contest Battle]]s. The event began later that day, with [[Jessie|Jessilina]] also participating. For the first round, Dawn called out her {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}} and {{TP|Dawn|Pachirisu}}. Although their performance received positive reviews from all three [[Contest Judge|judges]], it was not enough to send Dawn to the Battle Stage. As a result, Dawn was eliminated from the competition while her rivals moved on to the second round. There, Nando was seen depleting all of Jessilina's points to advance to the finals, where he faced off against Zoey. He was able to defeat her with the help of his {{TP|Nando|Kricketune}} and {{TP|Nando|Roselia}}, thus earning the Hearthome Ribbon, his second {{pkmn|Contest}} [[Ribbon]] overall.

[[File:Hearthome Ribbon.png|thumb|left|220px|The Hearthome Ribbon]]
The city's [[Multi Battle|Tag Battle]] tournament began in ''[[DP050|Tag! We're It...!]]'', where it was revealed that the competing {{pkmn|Trainer}}s would be randomly paired up by a computer. For this reason, Ash, Dawn, and Brock got tagged with [[Paul]], [[Conway]], and [[Holly]], respectively. During the first round, they all managed to defeat their opponents and, in ''[[DP051|Glory Blaze!]]'', they proved successful once again by winning their battles in the second round. Before the semifinals, Paul {{pkmn2|released}} his {{TP|Paul|Chimchar}} due to its inability to activate {{a|Blaze}} during their last battle. Chimchar was then invited to join Ash's [[Party|team]]. In ''[[DP052|Smells Like Team Spirit!]]'', Dawn and Conway made it to the finals while Paul and Ash went up against Brock and Holly. [[Brock's Croagunk]] and Holly's {{p|Farfetch'd}} were no match for [[Paul's Torterra]] and they were easily defeated, bringing Ash and Paul to the finals. There, Ash and Paul sent out {{AP|Chimchar}} and {{TP|Paul|Elekid}} while Dawn and Conway called out {{TP|Dawn|Buizel}} and {{p|Heracross}}. During their battle, Paul's {{p|Elekid}} [[Evolution|evolved]] into {{p|Electabuzz}}, which helped Ash and Paul win the competition.

In ''[[DP086|Arriving in Style!]]'', the group returned to Hearthome City for Ash's [[Gym]] {{pkmn|battle}}, only to find out the Gym Leader was still out of town, developing a new battling style. While in the city, Ash and Dawn were invited by [[Paris]] to enter the [[Hearthome Collection]], a fashion show for {{pkmn|Stylist}}s and their Pokémon where the winner gets to work on a photo shoot for the {{DL|Magazines in the Pokémon world|Poké Chic}} magazine. Together with [[Cocoa]] and [[Jessie|Jessilina]], Ash and Dawn entered the event. In the end, Ash, Dawn, and Cocoa were chosen by Paris and [[Hermione]] as the three finalists. When the results were announced, it was revealed that Ash and {{AP|Pikachu}} had placed third and would be given the Unique Award for their originality, while Cocoa and {{p|Mismagius}} would receive the Accessory Award as a prize for getting to second place. Dawn and {{TP|Dawn|Buneary}} were declared as the big winners, but Dawn said she wouldn't be taking part in the Poké Chic campaign in order to focus on her {{pkmn|Coordinator}} {{pkmn|training}}.

Ash met with [[Fantina]] upon returning to Hearthome City in ''[[DP101|Barry's Busting Out All Over!]]'', and finally had an official Gym battle against her in ''[[DP102|Shield with a Twist!]]''. He managed to defeat her and earn the {{Badge|Relic}}, his fifth [[Sinnoh League]] Badge overall.

==In the manga==
===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
{{adv|Platinum}}, {{adv|Diamond}}, and {{adv|Pearl}} arrive in Hearthome City in ''[[PS350|Booying with Buneary]]'' and stumble upon [[Keira]]'s Buneary. They follow it to the Super Contest Hall, where they meet Keira. With the help of Sinnoh's [[Pokémon Fan Club Chairman]], the trio prepare for Platinum's upcoming Normal Rank [[Super Contest]], which Platinum wins. The next day, the trio meet [[Fantina]], the city's [[Gym Leader]], who helps them out of the city by air when [[Paka and Uji]] spot them.

The trio later return to Hearthome City together with Fantina from [[Celestic Town]], and Platinum later challenges her in a Gym battle. After winning the battle, Platinum learns that her father was captured, and Fantina lends her {{p|Drifblim}} so that the trio can get to [[Canalave City]] quickly.

The city is a fashion capital according to Platinum's Sinnoh travel guide.

==Trivia==
* In the English dub of the {{pkmn|anime}}, {{an|Enta}} is the mayor of Hearthome City.
* Only in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}, Hearthome is one of the three cities that are more populous than the largest city in its home region, the others being [[Celadon City]] in [[Kanto]] and [[Nimbasa City]] in [[Unova]]. They are more populous than [[Jubilife City]], [[Saffron City]] and [[Castelia City]] respectively.
* In Pokémon Platinum, Hearthome City seems to push the limits of what the DS can handle, and tends to lag when the player runs outside of a building.

Does anyone know why, when the Cooltrainer's Zangoose in the [[Petalburg Gym]] uses Dire Hit, the blurb is [sic] "Foe's Zangoose put Dire Hit to hustle!" instead of "Foe's Zangoose is getting pumped!"?

Blue Ninjakoopa: /* Relearning moves known at evolution */

Should we add Mystery Dungeon on here? [[User:Ht14|ht14]] 01:38, 24 September 2008 (UTC)

==Eevee, Take-down, and Relearning==

This whole thing has been bugging me for quite some time now.

Eevee is a poor example of the limitations of the Move Relearner; in fact, Take-Down is just the sort of move the Move Relearner is made for. You level Eevee up until it learns Take-Down, then evolve, then use the Move Relearner to get the evolution's moves that you want. So rather than being an example of restrictions on the Move Relearner, it is in fact an example of HOW to use a Move Relearner. The only other true purpose of the Move Relearner is to gain 1st level moves (and, I guess, to remember moves you were forced to forget for an HM or something, but that's just poor planning and not a necessary problem). [[User:Kumori Satosuke|Satosuke]] 06:31, 5 November 2008 (UTC)

Actually what makes Eevee special is that it is the only known Pokémon to use 3 different types of evolution methods, Take Down is the example of something that only Eevee can learn, though technically any Eevee-exclusive move will qualify. -[[User:Tyler53841|Tyler53841]] 06:34, 15 November 2009 (UTC)

== More specific? ==

The article leaves me a tad confused by "species". Does it mean, literally, the listed species of a pokémon? For instance, Chimchar and Infernape are both of the species "Blaze" pokémon. Chimchar can learn Flamethrower or Slack Off by levelling up, but Infernape can't. If you took an Infernape to the move relearner, could it learn these moves? It hasn't changed species, but it has evolved, and they aren't in its learnset any more. At present the article doesn't seem to answer this question for me. [[User:Darien Shields|Darien Shields]] 22:49, 21 April 2009 (UTC)
:No. Species here means the [[Pokémon#Species|Pokémon species]]. So, no, Infernape cannot learn Slack Off or Flamethrower unless it learns them at the Chimchar stage. I'll add a link to the article to avoid further confusion. — [[User talk:The dark lord trombonator|THE TROM]] — 23:23, 21 April 2009 (UTC)
::1. So if Chimchar learns Slack Off for example, then evolves up to Infernape, then Infernape forgets Slack Off, can Slack Off be relearnt?
::2. How about bred moves that are forgotten? E.g. If I breed Blaze Kick to Chimchar, then he forgets it, can Blaze Kick be relearnt? --[[User talk:Qwertyasdf|(QQ)∞wertyasdf]] 05:40, 15 November 2009 (UTC)
:::I don't believe so. You can't relearn TM moves once you delete them, right? It'll act the same. —'''darklord[[User talk:The dark lord trombonator|trom]]''' 05:52, 15 November 2009 (UTC)
::::So no to both my questions? --[[User talk:Qwertyasdf|(QQ)∞wertyasdf]] 05:59, 15 November 2009 (UTC)
:::::Pretty much anything that is deleted which is not listed in that Pokémon's level up moveset can't be relearned and unless if it is not a one-of-a kind move then you have to start over with the process with TM's, HM's, Breeding, and Move Tutors plain and simple which is why I conduct research to avoid these problems. So just research the level up movesets more closely and if you want take precautions thats the best advice I can give.-[[User:Tyler53841|Tyler53841]] 06:05, 15 November 2009 (UTC)

== Number of uses? ==

I have thought for a few years that any particular move could only be relearned once by any particular pokemon, specifically that a pokemon could not relearn a level list move that it had already relearned once before but later forgotten. Was this ever really the case? [[User:PLA|PLA]] 09:40, 7 March 2012 (UTC)
: No. --[[User:HeroicJay|HeroicJay]] 09:47, 7 March 2012 (UTC)
:: Thank you. [[User:PLA|PLA]] 09:48, 7 March 2012 (UTC)

== Character name ==

I wonder if there is an official (i.e: consistent) English term for the move-relearning character yet?

I remember Back in Hoenn the guy merely introduced himself as a "move tutor", being different from others in Emerald because he claimed to know "all" Pokemon moves but would only do so in exchange for collecting Heart Scales.

In Black 2 and White 2, the move relearner (now set up at the Pokemon World Tournament) actually calls herself "the reminder girl"; when you check the PWT on your Town Map, she is listed as the "Move Reminder". --''[[User:Stratelier|Stratelier]]'' 17:00, 16 October 2012 (UTC)
:Bringing this back up. All of this is true, and should be on the article. --[[User:Abcboy|Abcboy]] ([[User talk:Abcboy|talk]]) 02:34, 9 December 2012 (UTC)
::Totally agreed. [[User:Mathfreak231|Mathfreak231 is a bawse :)]] ([[User talk:Mathfreak231|talk]]) 23:40, 13 January 2013 (UTC)
:::The Sevii Islands guy calls himself the "POKéMON MOVE MANIAC". However, I think "Move Reminder", the most recent official term, should be used for the page title. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 07:11, 29 January 2013 (UTC)
::::I agree, the most recent term should be used. However, an auto-redirect from "Move Relearner" shoud be added. --[[User:Csaint482|Csaint482]] ([[User talk:Csaint482|talk]]) 16:40, 11 February 2013 (UTC)
:::::Csaint's idea sounds like the best idea to me. --[[User:WyndFox|Wynd]] [[User talk:WyndFox|Fox]] 01:43, 19 February 2013 (UTC)
Done. [[User:Pumpkinking0192|Pumpkinking0192]] ([[User talk:Pumpkinking0192|talk]]) 22:41, 19 August 2013 (UTC)

== Dream World Moves ==

If a Pokémon came from the dream world with a special move (ex. a Tangela with Leech Seed), will that move be available to relearn if it is removed? [[User:SoItBegins|SoItBegins]] ([[User talk:SoItBegins|talk]]) 03:48, 27 February 2013 (UTC)

== Actually Forgotten Moves ==

I just corrected the {{p|Eevee}} page, which erroneously stated that Swift was a starting move in Generation VI. I think what actually happened was that an Eevee was bred and the father knew Swift, meaning the resulting offspring also knew Swift. Why is this important? Because in Generation VI, if you delete a move that a Pokémon knows at a too-low level due to breeding, you can still "remember" it through the Move Reminder. For me, I noticed that Bite was in the list after I deleted it, and the Eevee was still level 1. --[[User:GuyPerfect|GuyPerfect]] ([[User talk:GuyPerfect|talk]]) 04:44, 24 October 2013 (UTC)

: Note that in Generation VI, Eevees naturally learn Swift at level 10 and can be found in the wild knowing it, so it's easy to pass down. And on a related tangent, it is being anecdotally reported that the Generation VI Move Reminder can teach egg moves (like {{m|Wish}} for Eevee) back to a Pokemon, but only if the Pokemon ''actually knew the move when it hatched''. This seems an interesting detail to note.... --''[[User:Stratelier|Stratelier]]'' 19:59, 29 October 2013 (UTC)

:: Right, it's the same deal. A hatched Eevee that knows, say, Bite, or Swift, then forgets it, can be taught it again at a Move Reminder. A hatched Eevee that did not know those moves cannot be "reminded" of them, and they'll need to reach the appropriate level to learn them. --[[User:GuyPerfect|GuyPerfect]] ([[User talk:GuyPerfect|talk]]) 16:53, 30 October 2013 (UTC)

== Egg Moves ==

Sorry about my edit. I had a moment of stupidity. Derp. [[User:Jwisser|Jwisser]] ([[User talk:Jwisser|talk]]) 21:06, 14 December 2013 (UTC)

== A Question ==

I am wondering if a move reminder will work on a [[move]] a Pokémon learned at [[level]] 100. For an example, Mewtwo learns {{m|Psystrike}} at level 100. Or if a Pokémon is transferred to another [[generation]], will it be able to learn an old move on that generation. Thanks. ----[[User:Ethan7|Ethan]] ''([[User talk:Ethan7|Discussion]])'' 22:17, 15 January 2014 (UTC)
:It's yes for the first question. For the second, is the old move a move it can learn through level up (or an egg move in Generation VI) in that generation? If so then yes, if not, no. --[[User:Funktastic~!|'''It's''' '''Funktastic~!''']][[User talk:Funktastic~!|''話してください'']] 22:22, 15 January 2014 (UTC)

== Global Link Rewards ==

It should be noted that Heart Scales can be obtained in Generation VI by exchanging Poké Miles for them at the Pokémon Global Link website. [[User:NerfPlayeR135|NerfPlayeR135]] ([[User talk:NerfPlayeR135|talk]]) 20:20, 10 February 2014 (UTC)
:Heart Scales are already readily available in-game. [[User:Glik|Glik]] ([[User talk:Glik|talk]]) 20:40, 10 February 2014 (UTC)

== Something Odd ==

I hatched an Oshawott that only knew Tackle, then took him to the Generation VI Move Reminder. It said that Oshawott could "relearn" Water Sport, even though it never knew the move. Any explanation? [[User:NerfPlayeR135|NerfPlayeR135]] ([[User talk:NerfPlayeR135|talk]]) 20:24, 10 February 2014 (UTC)

== Clarification on Moves Exclusive to Pre-Evolved Forms ==

Because it seems the mechanics have changed since last someone asked, If a Pokemon learns a move, evolves into a Pokemon that can't learn that move, and then forgets said move, Can it be reminded of it? I ask because you can now remember egg and event-exclusive moves (if said Pokemon had actually known them at some point), implying to me that the Move Reminder can now also literally remind Pokemon of any move they've ever learned; so while a Vaporeon that evolved before it learned Take Down as an Eevee obviously wouldn't be able to learn Take Down ''for the first time'', but could a Vaporeon that HAD learned Take Down as an Eevee before evolving use Move Reminder to relearn Take Down? [[User:Masternachos|Masternachos]] ([[User talk:Masternachos|talk]]) 17:13, 9 March 2017 (UTC)
:Still no. My Ninetales knows Icy Wind, and cannot relearn it when it forgets it. [[User:Nescientist|Nescientist]] ([[User talk:Nescientist|talk]]) 17:27, 9 March 2017 (UTC)
::Thank you. [[User:Masternachos|Masternachos]] ([[User talk:Masternachos|talk]]) 17:20, 10 March 2017 (UTC)
:::When a Pokémon is generated as an Egg or obtained via Mystery Gift (or obtained with a special moves as hidden Pokémon/Island Scan Pokémon), there are four slots which can store moves that can be relearned as special moves from the Move Reminder. The special relearnable moves are only set when the Pokémon is obtained, so moves known by pre-evolutions are not included this way.
:::However, if you were to breed a Pokémon with a female Vulpix that both knew Icy Wind, since the baby Vulpix will inherit the move Icy Wind rather than knowing it due to leveling up, I believe that even a Ninetales evolved from such a baby Vulpix would be able to relearn the move if it forgot it. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 10:31, 11 March 2017 (UTC)
::::So if I understand, Pokemon can remember egg moves they inherited because they're egg moves [that they were bred with], NOT simply because they're moves they actually knew. So if a Pokemon transferred from an earlier generation knows a move it can't learn this generation and forgets it, it is now forever lost, correct? [[User:Masternachos|Masternachos]] ([[User talk:Masternachos|talk]]) 17:45, 11 March 2017 (UTC)
:::::Yes, that's correct. Although it's not only Egg Moves that can be taught again if forgotten, but any move that is inherited if bred in Gen VI onward (so including Volt Tackle and level-up moves known by both parents). --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 01:22, 12 March 2017 (UTC)
Maybe I missed it somehow the first time, but the way it is explained in the "Teachable Moves" sector is now (or always was?) very clear and precise, covering just about every possibility. [[User:Masternachos|Masternachos]] ([[User talk:Masternachos|talk]]) 19:30, 7 May 2017 (UTC)

"Additionally, starting in Generation VI, a Pokèmon can be taught a move that it can not normally learn via level up if its previous evolution evolved into it knowing said move. For example, if a player evolves a {{p|Numel}} that knows {{m|Double-Edge}} into a {{p|Camerupt}}, that Camerupt will have access to Double-Edge if it ever forgets the move, even though it does not normally learn it."

This latest edit seems to contradict all of what we know about the relearn moves mechanic and this whole discussion. Can we just be consistent here? --[[User:Flametix|Flametix]] ([[User talk:Flametix|talk]]) 13:52, 5 October 2018 (UTC)

Agreed, Flametix. I just tested it in Gen VI, and the statement is incorrect. (Evolved Magneton into Magnezone, had it forget Tri Attack, then tried to reteach it Tri Attack, but was not able to.) Can someone test it in Gen VII? --[[User:Firepanda|Firepanda]] ([[User talk:Firepanda|talk]]) 12:46, 10 October 2018 (UTC)
:In addition to my Ninetales' inability to relearn Icy Wind (which I already mentioned), I just tested that my Butterfree cannot relearn the level-up move Harden (SM), even though it was caught a level 3 Caterpie. [[User:Nescientist|Nescientist]] ([[User talk:Nescientist|talk]]) 09:28, 13 October 2018 (UTC)

== Relearning moves known at evolution ==

BlueNinjaKoopa [[Special:Diff/2835175|added]] that if a Pokémon knows a move when it evolved, it can relearn this move if it forgets it (even if the move isn't in its normal movepool). The two examples given were Camerupt with Numel's Double-Edge and Raichu with Pikachu's Agility.

I tested Pikachu/Raichu and Agility in Y, Alpha Sapphire, and Moon, and found that in all three cases this does not work. I ensured Pikachu knew Agility, evolved it, then replaced Agility with a TM. When I went to the Move Reminder, Agility was not an option to teach. This was not surprising, as Pokémon only have 4 Move Reminder slots, which are normally taken up by Egg Moves (and other inherited moves) or event moves (although [[DexNav|Hidden Pokémon]] and [[Island Scan]]'s special moves use these too).

BlueNinjaKoopa, if you include some more details about the specific circumstances under which you observed Raichu being able to relearn Agility, it might be possible to identify specifically what the cause was. I apologize for not responding on my talk page when you left me a message there, but I think this is a better place to discuss it. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 03:43, 29 June 2019 (UTC)
:I can e-mail you proof that if a Pokemon evolves knowing a move that is exclusive to any of its pre-evolution, then later forgets that move, it can be re-learned. I made a mistake in the name; although I'm sure that if it did evolve knowing Agility it would have access to it, but the actual move is Charm, which is exclusive to Pichu in the evolutionary line. It doesn't get it from breeding. I can send you a picture via e-mail (uploading it here would violate image policy). [[User:Blue Ninjakoopa|BNK]][[User talk:Blue Ninjakoopa|Talk]] 04:12, 30 June 2019 (UTC)
:Also, the game I was playing was Ultra Sun, so maybe that is a very recent change to the mechanics. [[User:Blue Ninjakoopa|BNK]][[User talk:Blue Ninjakoopa|Talk]] 04:13, 30 June 2019 (UTC)
::Okay, so assuming that your Pichu was bred, if both of Pichu's parents knew Charm, then Pichu would inherit the move Charm due to breeding because it's a level-up move for Pichu. (The move doesn't need to be an Egg Move to be inherited in this way.) In this case, the move is relearnable because Pichu inherited the move from its parents. If Pichu wasn't obtained by breeding, I'm not sure what the cause would be. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 04:41, 30 June 2019 (UTC)
:::The Pichu was bred, but neither parent knew Charm. I used a female Pikachu with the Lightning Rod ability and a male Furret imported from Pokemon Silver on the 3DS Virtual Console. How do you explain that? [[User:Blue Ninjakoopa|BNK]][[User talk:Blue Ninjakoopa|Talk]] 06:28, 30 June 2019 (UTC)

{{search|[[Non-player character|NPCs]] who teach moves Pokémon can learn by leveling up|the NPCs who teach moves outside a Pokémon's normal learnset|Move Tutor}}
A '''Move Reminder''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|技思い出し|わざおもいだし}}''' ''Move Reminder'', also '''わざおしえマニア''' ''Move-Teaching Maniac''), sometimes called a '''move relearner''' by fans, is a character who can teach a {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} any [[move]] that its species is able to learn at an earlier [[level]] ([[Generation]]s {{gen|II}} to {{gen|VI}}) or at any level ([[Generation VII]]), usually in exchange for a [[Heart Scale]]. From Generation VI onward, the Move Reminder can also teach [[Egg Move]]s and special moves it had previously forgotten.

==Teachable moves==
From Generation II to VI, the Move Reminder can teach a Pokémon any move that its species is able to learn at an earlier [[level]]. In [[Generation VII]], the Move Reminder can teach a Pokémon any move it can learn via level-up, including moves it would learn at higher levels.

From [[Generation VI]] onward, any Pokémon hatched in Generation VI onward may also be taught any move it knew when it hatched; this includes [[Egg Move]]s, level-up moves bred onto a Pokémon, and {{m|Volt Tackle}} bred onto {{p|Pichu}}. Also in these games, Pokémon obtained via [[Mystery Gift]] can learn any specifically flagged move it knew when it was obtained; older events only flag {{pkmn2|event}}-exclusive moves (such as the {{DL|List of local Japanese event Pokémon distributions in Generation VI|Pokémon Center Tokyo Bay Inkay}}'s {{m|Happy Hour}}) and Egg Moves, whereas more recent distributions flag all moves the Pokémon knows when obtained except moves that do not exist in {{g|X and Y}}. Also, a special move known due to being a {{DL|DexNav|hidden Pokémon}} in {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}} or an {{DL|QR Scanner|Island Scan}} Pokémon in {{pkmn|Sun and Moon|Pokémon Sun, Moon}}, {{pkmn|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon}} can also be taught by the Move Reminder if forgotten. Additionally, a Pokèmon can be taught a move that it can not normally learn via level up if its previous evolution evolved into it knowing said move. For example, if a player evolves a {{p|Numel}} that knows {{m|Double-Edge}} into a {{p|Camerupt}}, that Camerupt will have access to Double-Edge if it ever forgets the move, even though it does not normally learn it.

The Move Reminder can only teach a Pokémon moves that its {{OBP|Pokémon|species|species}} can learn; they cannot teach moves exclusive to a pre-[[evolution]]. In particular, many Pokémon that evolve by [[evolutionary stone]] have a very restricted set of level-up moves in their evolved forms compared to their unevolved forms. For example, {{p|Eevee}} can learn {{m|Take Down}} by leveling up, but none of its evolutions can; this means that an Eevee could be taught Take Down by a Move Reminder (if it has the appropriate level prior to Generation VII), but a {{p|Vaporeon}} or other [[Eeveelution]] could not.

Certain Pokémon may also be taught moves via the Move Reminder that they would not normally learn until a later level or at all by leveling up. For example, while {{p|Lopunny}} could normally only learn {{m|Healing Wish}} at level 63 by leveling up, a Move Reminder can teach the move to Lopunny before then since it also counts as one of Lopunny's starting moves. The move {{m|Rototiller}} can also be taught to Lopunny by a Move Reminder, and this is the only way for Lopunny to learn this move. Other moves can only be taught this way for reasons such as the Pokémon not being able to be obtained at a low enough level (e.g., {{p|Zapdos}} and {{m|Ancient Power}} starting in [[Generation IV]]) or the species having more than four starting moves (e.g., {{p|Kecleon}}).

==Restrictions==
Like all methods of teaching moves (other than [[Pokémon Day Care]]), the Move Reminder cannot overwrite [[HM]] moves.

In [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness|Pokémon XD]], if a Pokémon has four moves, the Move Reminder will not be able to teach it a move until the [[Move Deleter]] deletes one of the Pokémon's current moves.

==Locations==
While [[Generation II]] has no formal Move Reminder, in [[Pokémon Stadium 2]], after defeating the [[Elite Four]] and {{pkmn|Champion}} at the [[Gym Leader Castle]], the player will be allowed to reteach a move to one of the Pokémon that was involved in the battle.

Move Reminder

Blue Ninjakoopa: Undo revision 2991276 by SnorlaxMonster (talk) I just confirmed it happened in Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon, and why use the talk page when no one will respond?

Move Reminder

2019-06-29T02:24:49Z

Blue Ninjakoopa: /* Teachable moves */ almost a year later and no response from Snorlax man, and there was no breeding involved in my analysis

Spore (move)

2019-06-29T02:20:24Z

Blue Ninjakoopa: /* Trivia */ That's kinda obvious. Per the talk page for Quash, something like that isn't really noteworthy. Quiver Dance for example doesn't note that most learners are "elegant dancers or butterflies"

'''Spore''' (Japanese: '''キノコのほうし''' ''Mushroom Spore'') is a non-damaging {{type|Grass}} [[move]] introduced in [[Generation I]]. Prior to [[Generation III]], it was the [[signature move]] of {{p|Paras}} and {{p|Parasect}}.

==Effect==
===Generations I-V===
Spore puts the target to {{status|sleep}}. Spore cannot affect targets with {{a|Insomnia}} or {{a|Vital Spirit}} as their [[Ability]].

In the Generation I handheld games only, Spore can affect a target behind a {{m|substitute}}.

===Generation VI onwards===
{{type|Grass}} Pokémon, Pokémon with {{a|Overcoat}}, and Pokémon holding the [[Safety Goggles]] are now immune to Spore. Pokémon under the effect of {{a|Sweet Veil}} are also unaffected by Spore.

Spore can also be used as part of a [[Contest combination|Contest Spectacular combination]], causing certain moves ({{m|Dream Eater}}, {{m|Hex}}, {{m|Nightmare}} and {{m|Wake-Up Slap}}) to give an extra three appeal points if used in the next turn.

If powered up by a [[Grassium Z]] into Z-Spore, all of the user's lowered stats are reset.

==Description==

{{movedescentry|{{gameabbrevss|Stad}}|Special spores are scattered from mushrooms. If the opponent inhales the spores, it will fall asleep.}}

== Continued from my questions ==
Sorrry, I couldn't find the archived talk where I originally posted this. Anyway, why can't the Generation VI sprites just be treated like 120 by 120 still images? [[User:Sumwun|sumwun]] ([[User talk:Sumwun|talk]]) 18:43, 14 August 2016 (UTC)
:The archive is [[User talk:SnorlaxMonster/Archive/8|here]]. You can find it by mousing over "Pokémon" in the template at the top of the page (maybe I should make that clearer).
:Anyway, there are no sprites in Gen VI, only models. Models just don't work the same way, so we decided to use artwork instead. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 00:35, 15 August 2016 (UTC)

Hi, I saw [[User:SnorlaxMonster/Anime ordering]] and I would suggest that you check out this (not made by me): https://github.com/mal/pokemon/blob/gh-pages/data/anime.md --[[User:PannenkoekenNL|PannenkoekenNL]] ([[User talk:PannenkoekenNL|talk]]) 13:57, 17 August 2016 (UTC)
:We already have the air dates on Bulbapedia. Having a list of them isn't really helpful in constructing that page. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 01:45, 18 August 2016 (UTC)

== Super Mystery Dungeon Move Descriptions ==

I'm planning to begin adding Super Mystery Dungeon's move descriptions to each of the move pages. However, each move has two separate descriptions, one on the move's basic info box, and another one that goes into more detail if needed, and I'd like your opinion (others are welcome too) on which should be used before I start. Most of the time, they're either the same or they managed to fit the most important details fit into the shorter one, but occasionally not; for example, Stockpile's short description doesn't mention its Defense/Sp. Defense raising effect. I've included example images of Stockpile and three others in this [http://imgur.com/a/x3e8U imgur album]–Feint (expanded detail example), Extrasensory (where the 'short' one is actually longer), and Splash (another 'expanded detail' one, but both have a fair amount of fluff). There have been a few descriptions added already (mainly starter moves) and they've all used the short one, but I wanted to make sure I'm doing the most desirable thing before I put the effort into documenting them all. [[User:VioletPumpkin|VioletPumpkin]] ([[User talk:VioletPumpkin|talk]]) 00:57, 18 August 2016 (UTC)
:I don't really know. I haven't played Super Mystery Dungeon or very much of Gates to Infinity, so I haven't really helped with their coverage. In the older Mystery Dungeon games there are two descriptions for items (one very short, one full length), and I had been using the full-length descriptions on item pages. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 01:45, 18 August 2016 (UTC)
::I see. I'm not familiar with the older Mystery Dungeon games, so it's interesting that something similar existed there. I noticed earlier today while working on the item pages that the people who had been editing those pages had been using the short descriptions for SMD, though in most cases those descriptions are very similar. That said, after looking at the entries for old games and comparing them to the SMD ones, it looks like the full-length ones were used for the old games, and more information than I thought was being lost with the shorter ones, so I think I'll go with the full-length ones. Thanks for answering! [[User:VioletPumpkin|VioletPumpkin]] ([[User talk:VioletPumpkin|talk]]) 04:27, 18 August 2016 (UTC)
:::Just to chime in, I've been using the long descriptions for the items I've been editing. At first, I wasn't aware of the short version so while I was editing I was confused about where people had gotten a different item description than me, so I changed them. I only realised later, but I've stuck to the long ones for now, but many of the item descriptions haven't been reverted to the long version. I agree that going for the long one has less risk of losing information.--[[User:Wowy|'''Wowy''']][[User talk:Wowy|'''(토크)''']] 08:44, 18 August 2016 (UTC)
::::Ah, I didn't realize that, so thanks for the heads up. I'll probably be doing more SMD additions today, so I'll be sure to double-check the Health Drink page (where I made those edits) first. [[User:VioletPumpkin|VioletPumpkin]] ([[User talk:VioletPumpkin|talk]]) 15:42, 22 August 2016 (UTC)

== Struggle and recoil ==

UPC says that Struggle does not have recoil damage from Gen IV onward, and every other effect we have that affects recoil does not affect the self-inflicted HP loss from Struggle. And Struggle's effect contradicts our definition of recoil, as it is not depending on the damage dealt. Struggle's description never says recoil, and the in-game description does not call it recoil. So I could only imagine you mean/checked the message, and that that's just the standard recoil message that says "recoil"? In which case, I guess we should separate Struggle recoil from any other recoil, and just say that Struggle is also said to have recall, even though it... hasn't. [[User:Nescientist|Nescientist]] ([[User talk:Nescientist|talk]]) 10:14, 18 August 2016 (UTC)
:When you use Struggle in battle, it says "''<Pokémon> was damaged by the recoil''", just like every other recoil move. Its recoil damage is calculated in a different way to other recoil moves (except {{m|Shadow End}}) and it's not affected by Abilities that affect other recoil moves, but the game calls it recoil so that's what it is. Struggle is clearly a special-case move, so I think it being an exception to these effects makes perfect sense.
:It's also worth noting that the move descriptions for recoil moves are worded the same way as Struggle's (not that you can ever see Struggle's move description in-game). --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 10:24, 18 August 2016 (UTC)
::Ok, fair point. Well, technically, it isn't the same recoil than the others; so Rock Head's description, for example, is either refering to specifically the non-Struggle "recoil" variant, or does only refer to "some" recoil it can protect from. Does that mean that you think we should do what I just proposed, or do you think we should redefine our recoil definition (and make a special case for Struggle post-GenIII)?
::Worth noting that {{m|Overheat}} and its variations also mention "recoil" in their descriptions. Would you prefer to include that on the page? [[User:Nescientist|Nescientist]] ([[User talk:Nescientist|talk]]) 10:37, 18 August 2016 (UTC)
:::Ability descriptions tend to try to be very concise because they don't have much room (particularly in older games). Struggle is an exception, but Ability descriptions don't tend to note exceptions; the Shadow moves that inflict recoil are also both exceptions to Rock Head. Also, Struggle calculated recoil damage the same way as other recoil moves did in Gen III, but it still wasn't affected by Rock Head.
:::I don't think Overheat is referring to the same concept (notably it doesn't say "recoil ''damage''", just "recoil"). I wouldn't be surprised if the description didn't consistently use the word used for recoil damage across languages (although it might anyway).
:::As for what to do, my suggestion would be to fix the recoil page to correct the definition of recoil. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 10:45, 18 August 2016 (UTC)
::::Descriptions seem to be consistent across languages (checked Japanese and German). I guess the concepts may be related (negative effect of using a move), but they obviously aren't all the same. Anyway, our description says it's damage, as does the pokemon.com glossary that we encountered at Multi Battle.

:::::Not that it matters anymore since we seem to have reached a consensus, but that page also says ''Struggle also causes recoil damage equal to 25% of the attacking Pokémon's maximum HP.'' --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 11:08, 18 August 2016 (UTC)

If it's not too much trouble, could I ask you to please take a look at the last few revisions of [[Ash's Donphan]] and give your opinion?

:I agree that the previous trivium was both vague and too specific (although those terms seem contradictory). I think [[Special:Diff/2493233|this edit]] brings it to a reasonable point. I'm not sure about restricting it to just Oak's lab though: Charizard's return from Charific Valley was certainly in the same spirit.; it also excludes Pokémon the Series: Black and White, in which Ash effectively has more than 6 Pokémon on hand by rotating them between his party and Juniper's lab. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 06:40, 25 August 2016 (UTC)

== Stadium 2 Pokédex data ==

I am fairly sure Stadium 2 does not have its own entries. It loads Generation II entries; in case of Gold and Silver it seems to load the opposite version's (Crystal uses Gold's, apparently); using Red seems to load Gold's, Yellow has Silver's; haven't checked Blue yet. I am not sure if it depends on the game version or it randomizes for each Trainer ID (considering Crystal loads Gold's, even though Stadium 2 and Crystal had simultaneous release in Japan, so was it a translation thing?) [[User:Eridanus|Eridanus]] ([[User talk:Eridanus|talk]]) 13:02, 1 September 2016 (UTC)
:I believe you've mentioned this before. In any case, there's not much to do about it until we actually know how it gets them. It's also worth noting that [[Pikachu (Pokémon)#Pokédex entries_3|our article for Pikachu]] has different capitalizations for "Berries" between Gold and Stadium 2. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 13:21, 1 September 2016 (UTC)

== Uploading images in Bulbagarden Archives ==

Hi. I am recently contributing on Pokemon Adventures articles -- mostly with Vietnamese translation. I notice that there are missing covers for some volumes and would love to contribute by uploading/adding cover pictures of these volumes, but then Bulbagarden Archives stated that I am not an autoconfirmed user there so I cannot really do that. But since that place is a place to add pictures (it seems so to me, sorry if I am wrong), what should I do to become an autoconfirmed user there?

== Effect sections etc. ==

This is a bunch of things, but I'll try to keep this short. I would kindly ask you to answer the first question, and I would appreciate if you took some time to answer any of the others, too.
# Do you believe that it would be worth the effort/time to go through all "Effect" sections (or those of moves) in an attempt to standardize them better? (That's not a leading question!)
# I've been creating [[User:Nescientist/Effect section guideline|this]], and I believe that's what it should ''ideally'' be. (It's delibarately non-strict for some aspects, but it still seems incompatible with the current state of Effect sections sometimes.) Eridanus notified me he [[User_talk:SnorlaxMonster/Archive/7#Moves_articles|talked to you]] earlier, so if there's any go-to guy, it might be you. Do you agree?
# What's the current guidelines that are implicitly in effect? (I hope you get what I mean.)
# I intend to edit some Effect sections in the near future (if you're interested and not already aware, you could check Tiddlywinks' talk). So I've been thinking I could try to simultaneously standardize/simplify them better. If the "current guidelines" are not the "ideal" ones, which ones should I use? (I guess this question might be question 1 actually, and sneakily asks for some coordination/assistance. ''If'' there's plans/desire to change "current" to "ideal" for move effects, now might be a good opportunity.)

Additionally, while I'm here, could I ask you to possibly reply [[Bulbapedia talk:Project ItemDex#Item template inclusion|over here]] (you're listed as a contact)? It's not a top priority, and I won't start a lengthy discussion if you just don't know, but I would like to ensure this didn't simply go unnoticed. Thanks!

== Policy question regarding mid-generation egg move parent updates on Pokémon pages ==

Recently, an edit was made on {{p|Alomomola}} that (correctly) added Corsola as a possible parent to pass Endure. Corsola could not learn Endure by level up until B2W2, but by checking Alomomola's Gen V learnset page, I saw that Corsola was not listed as a possible parent there, nor is it listed in the Gen V learnset page of most other Pokémon it could pass its 'new' B2W2 moves to. A similar situation arose with ORAS, where many Pokémon became new potential parents of some moves, but only some pages added them. As you know, the move pages have split columns to better note things like this, but the by breeding sections on the species pages do not. Since I couldn't find information on the correct way to handle this, and because I'd like to help keep things consistent, I'd like to ask if you know what the correct way is (either including the new parents, not including them, or something else)? Thanks! [[User:VioletPumpkin|VioletPumpkin]] ([[User talk:VioletPumpkin|talk]]) 16:57, 16 October 2016 (UTC)

== Moves that power up ==

Could you align the category's wording and the moves that are in that category (one way or the other)? You may or may not be aware, but doubling in damage is not ''exactly'' doubling in power. And you may or may not be aware of [[User:Nescientist/Damage|this]], where I've also been collecting info like that. If I knew what the deal was, I'd be willing to help (also see the above section). [[User:Nescientist|Nescientist]] ([[User talk:Nescientist|talk]]) 11:33, 20 October 2016 (UTC)
:Could you go through and correct the wordings of appropriate moves to either "power" or "damage"? (Or just pick one, as you seem to be suggesting I do.) You're clearly much more familiar with the distinction than I am. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 11:59, 20 October 2016 (UTC)
::The wording you just added was fine. (And I plan to go through all of them at some point.) It's just that the category "Moves that power up" currently says they "increase in base power". I was wondering if that wording should be changed, or whether the moves that actually double ''in damage'' should be in another category or something. [[User:Nescientist|Nescientist]] ([[User talk:Nescientist|talk]]) 12:07, 20 October 2016 (UTC)
:::If the moves are more accurately described as ''increasing in damage'' than ''increasing in power'', then please change that; I don't know which it is. If you know which applies for each move, then I think splitting the category into those two would be reasonable. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 12:40, 20 October 2016 (UTC)
::::Ok, thanks, then let's stick to "Moves that power up" only including moves that are most accurately described as increasing in power; I will edit your additions where appropiate.

[[User:Nescientist|Nescientist]] ([[User talk:Nescientist|talk]]) 14:26, 20 October 2016 (UTC)
:::::Keep in mind that there were already moves in "Moves that power up" that were equivalent to the moves I added, such as {{m|Gust}} and {{m|Twister}}.
:::::I don't get why you're categorizing {{m|Stored Power}} as both variable power and a move that powers up: what is different about it to all the other moves? It's the only move in the "Moves with variable power" category that has a fixed power (i.e. not — in-game).
:::::I think you may as well categorize them now, so we don't have to go find them again later whenever Tiddlywinks wants to make his new category. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 15:27, 20 October 2016 (UTC)
::::::Ah, that's what made you add it to the others!? I don't know why Tiddlywinks added them; I presume he was just mistaken when he did (as he ''explicitly'' didn't add Earthquake). I didn't see them when I checked; I will remove those.
::::::For Stored Power, Tiddlywinks might have added "Moves with variable power" for a technical reason: it's a trigger that modifies its ''power'' (see [http://www.smogon.com/bw/articles/bw_complete_damage_formula here]). You added the "powers up" because it gets greater than advertised. I've kinda said to Tiddlywinks that I'd prefer to go that label-route; but I also don't like to ''undo'' what others have done without their consent (if it's a debatable thing).
::::::For the category, I'm gonna create it once I can come up with an idea for its name. [[User:Nescientist|Nescientist]] ([[User talk:Nescientist|talk]]) 16:20, 20 October 2016 (UTC)
:::::::Now I recall/know: Tiddlywinks wasn't in error, Gust and Twister apparently technically ''do'' work differently than Earthquake etc. I've reworded their prose. (They work like Earthquake, Magnitude, Surf and Whirlpool have worked in the past; I edited their prose as well and also added them to the category.)
:::::::And on Stored Power, you were right; if Gust isn't variable power, neither is Stored Power.
:::::::And if it's ok, I would like to wait for the category until I/we get to more/all moves; for now, it's just Earthquake, Magnitude, Surf and Whirlpool, and the complete list of "increases damage (directly)" is on my user page already (well, hopefully). [[User:Nescientist|Nescientist]] ([[User talk:Nescientist|talk]]) 21:38, 20 October 2016 (UTC)
::::::::{{m|Stored Power}} is not (or was not, I'll go back to it in a moment) the only move in {{cat|Moves that have variable power}} with a numeric power value, {{m|Water Spout}} has it as well and would probably be a terrible fit for moves that "power up". IMO, moves that power up should basically be something that's either "X" power (normally) or "X*mult" power (in most cases *2, but the multiplier itself should not really ''vary''). I consider moves like {{m|Rollout}} and {{m|Fury Cutter}} close enough because they "power up" with successive uses, building very steadily/reliably. Stored Power's power '''varies''' based on however many stat stages the target has. You could use Stored Power for the first time and you might get its base power or its base power times 2 or 3 or 43; to me, that's very much "variable". Stored Power does not at all fit an image of a move that's "powering up" IMO. [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 22:46, 20 October 2016 (UTC)
:::::::::I forgot, but it seems you (SnorlaxMonster) also wanted to sort out these categories "neatly" so you could use them on {{a|Forewarn}}. If it weren't for {{m|Eruption}} and Water Spout, I'd be happy to agree with you, but it's ''very'' hard to reasonably exclude them from a category for "variable power". I was a little unhappy that it couldn't be that neat myself, but I also consider it more valuable to actually have a place where the moves that can truly have varying power can all be found together. I think if we want a category for only physical/special moves with "—" for power, that should perhaps be something like ''Moves that do not have a fixed power''. On the other hand, though, if the table on Forewarn is going to list all the applicable moves anyway, then linking to a category/categories is probably kind of pointless anyway; you can just describe them as "Moves that have a power of '—'" without actually losing anything vital. [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 23:50, 20 October 2016 (UTC)
::::::::::There was another reason (strange factor); had I known, I wouldn't have removed it. Anyway, just focusing on Stored Power, I still feel like "higher than the label says" might be "powered up" (and it uses ''the user's'' stat stages). Unless I'm mistaken, that's the case for all moves that power up, but not for any other move. Unless they're meant to be mutually exclusive, I would suggest we include both.
::::::::::The new power page looks splendid! (No, really!) Unless someone's faster, I would be taking care of Gen VI Abilities and moves within the next days. [[User:Nescientist|Nescientist]] ([[User talk:Nescientist|talk]]) 01:09, 21 October 2016 (UTC)
:::::::::::What I basically meant the "power up" category for was for moves that have a binary condition: multiplier or none. The core of these is very much the things like {{m|Pursuit}}, {{m|Acrobatics}}, {{m|Smelling Salts}}. Rollout and Fury Cutter are a moderate extension therefrom. But Stored Power is very different from these. And "variable power" is basically "the rest".
:::::::::::And it really should be one category or the other. [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 01:39, 21 October 2016 (UTC)
::::::::::::I think the only reasonable way to divide moves between "powering up"/"powering down" and "having variable power" is to split based on whether or not the move has a fixed base power. Anything else and we're getting too subjective. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 17:18, 28 October 2016 (UTC)
{{indent}}I think there's ''something'' valuable in that "subjectivity" that that strict division doesn't allow for. (In part, like I said before, the division you want is really better described like "moves without a fixed power". "Variable" inherently ''invites'' subjective judgement. Better to use something less ambiguous if that's what you really want.) {{m|Magnitude}} is a very interesting case: it normally has variable power, but can also receive a 2x modifier, so a strict division between the current categories wouldn't allow both effects to be noted.

I'll propose this instead: Moves that power up should be a category '''only''' for moves ''exactly'' like {{m|Pursuit}} and {{m|Acrobatics}}: they double in power under a specific condition and never go any higher (i.e., no Rollout/Fury Cutter, no Echoed Voice, no Pledges). (Maybe it would be called something else too, if it's going to be so strictly defined.) Then, ''everything'' else goes under "Moves with variable power", and "Moves that power up" is categorized under that as well. The only possible hitch here is, it may be weird if Magnitude is categorized both as having "variable power" and "powering up", if powering up is itself a subclass of variable power. [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 17:49, 28 October 2016 (UTC)
:Wouldn't a category with Pursuit but without the Pledges be pointless?
:I think we only really need the {{tt|categories|I think we don't actually have to have multiple ones, but we should anyway}} for the [[power]] page. In my opinion, "Power up" should be meant to be for those that have a "standard" case but can power up, "variable"/"{{tt|varying|probably better, taken from Magnitude description — it's weird to have "Moves that have variable power" listed under "Variable-power moves"}}" (an unrelated category) for those that do not. How to define what a standard case is in an objective manner is tricky (on the other hand, we do not ''need'' to define that strictly, I guess).
:In my mind, moves with multiple standard cases ({{m|Magnitude}}, {{m|Present}}) and those with a continuous scale ({{m|Eruption}}, {{m|Reversal}}, {{m|Crush Grip}}) are "varying" (that's some kind of definition already, I guess). {{m|Rollout}} and {{m|Magnitude}} should be in both. For {{m|Punishment}}, {{m|Spit Up}} and {{m|Stored Power}}, I don't really care — they could be in either, or both.

Something that has been bugging me is the [[Regional variant]] and how this affects the Game locations area of the pages for the Pokémon who have Alola variants and how I think they need minor improvements to help make it easier for people to understand that information on finding that Pokémon is not for the original version, but for the Alola version which would therefore require trade. The biggest issue regards the original Raichu, Exeggutor, and Marowak as none of them can be found without trading as it is impossible evolve into those forms in Sun and Moon.

What was wrong with my edit for the Pokémon sun and moon section of the Pokémon 20th anniversary page? [[User:Awesomevenustoise101|Awesomevenustoise101]] ([[User talk:Awesomevenustoise101|talk]]) 17:58, 16 December 2016 (UTC)
:Edit: Nevermind, It's just a restructuring of my edit.

== New pages notability ==

I was wondering, imagine some very abstract Bulbapedia editor is dreaming of (high-quality) mainspace articles on subjects such as
* Nebby,
* Aura (game mechanic, the UB and Totem thing),
* Confusion (status condition; just imagine there'd be a whole lotta details),
* Affection (may be a possibility to intersect Amie and Refresh),
* Template:ZMoveInfobox (in a similar vein to {{de|Perfektes Pika-Projektil|how the German wiki handles that}}),
* Target,
* anything, in general/by extension,
and that they're also able and willing to provide at least one of that, but they'd like to avoid putting in work for articles that turn out to be either unnotable or userspace endlessly, what would they be supposed to do? Asking for a friend, of course. [[User:Nescientist|Nescientist]] ([[User talk:Nescientist|talk]]) 12:29, 17 December 2016 (UTC)
:Normally, if there's a topic of questionably notability, I like to build it in the userspace to establish notability (although I do have a lot of pages that are intended for mainspace but have sat in my userspace for ages). If you can build a detailed page in the userspace that's not just full of fluff and within scope (i.e. related to Pokémon), it's unlikely to get rejected. (Fun fact: Confusion is on a list of page ideas on a post-it note that has sat next to my desktop approximately since [[Talk:Status condition#Each major status ailment in its own article?|we gave status conditions their own pages back in 2010/2011]].) If you want to make sure your userspace page you think should be mainspaced doesn't get forgotten, it's a good idea to poke a staff member (feel free to come to me with this kind of thing, although depending on the topic you might be more successful by asking the appropriate Editorial Board member). --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 12:45, 17 December 2016 (UTC)
::Thanks. While I do understand that, for Aura for example, I'm not 100% sure it is notable myself. That's a case where someone should do research quite a bit, which is a potential waste of time. And for others one might not be able to judge how notable it ''turns out to be'' beforehand. And even if ''I'' think it turned out to be notable, is there some way I can ensure the EB thinks the same and it wasn't all a waste of time (I'm likely biased if I invested time and effort)?
::So, in case of doubt, I can ask an appropriate staff member beforehand, on a case by case basis, and that staff member then might be able to guarantee that, if the article is of decent quality, it ''will'' get mainspaced?
::Can you tell me how notable/relevant/sensible you think the things I've listed are? (For me to maybe scratch them off my list of "should be created... eventually".)
::Status conditions are what I want to do next, so once I've started a userpage on confusion, please be my guest. [[User:Nescientist|Nescientist]] ([[User talk:Nescientist|talk]]) 13:19, 17 December 2016 (UTC)
:::Normally, if a page requires a lot of research but isn't notable, then the information would simply be placed on other pages, so it wouldn't be entirely a waste.
:::You can certainly ask beforehand, but if they're unsure, what's typically going to happen is the staff member will tell you to create a draft to show how such a page could look. For example, I really don't see what content you could even have on an "Aura" page, so right now I don't think it's notable, but if you went and did a lot of research and actually made a page of a decent length, you could convince me it is.
:::For my personal opinions on your list:
:::*Nebby: would certainly be notable
:::*Aura: Convince me there is actually content that would be on this page. I can imagine a list of the auras each Totem Pokémon/Ultra Beast has, but I don't really know what else there would be.
:::*Confusion: As I mentioned earlier, I certainly think there's enough information there for a page.
:::*Affection: I was the one who [[Talk:Pokémon-Amie#Affection split|nominated the split]] last year, but since it only applied to Amie it didn't happen. Now that it's some shared stat between Amie and Refresh I think there is more of an argument, but the same could be said about of lot of the mechanics of both minigames.
:::*Template:ZMoveInfobox: I think Z-Moves are probably fine using the same infobox as other moves for now.
:::*Target: Assuming this refers to attack targets, I think a page detailing the game mechanics of targeting would be interesting, although I believe the official term for possible targets is "range" whereas "target" is specifically the Pokémon chosen. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 13:34, 17 December 2016 (UTC)
::::Thanks!
::::*For Aura, I think there wouldn't be a lot information, but we do seem to have independent articles for virtually all other {{cat|game mechanics}} (as far as I know, at least). I'm not trying to convice you, though (and I'm not willing to do research atm), but I had imagined it ''might'' (ideally) be a nice page being linked to.
::::*For Z-Moves, I don't like how messy the type-specific Z-Moves' templates look like, with half the template basically just confusing readers, screaming "READ THE TEXT!" instead of helping.
::::*For target/range, I'd imagined that page to be about both what you select '''and''' what you actually hit/affect, and to differentiate/explain a little.

For example, [http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon/tapu-fini/ Tapu Fini's official site entry] makes sure to mention "status conditions or confusion"; while effects like Full Heal do remove confusion despite only specifying that they heal status conditions, I think we can consider that to be a case of incomplete effect descriptions, like Water Bubble or Gen VI Flower Veil; compare {{a|Guts}}, {{a|Shed Skin}} or {{a|Marvel Scale}}, which are not affected by confusion. There's also stuff like {{a|Leaf Guard}} to consider, which prevent the Pokémon becoming drowsy due to Yawn. Despite that concern, I don't really have an alternative name beyond "status". For the same reason, I'm not entirely sure it belongs on the status condition navigation template. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 14:23, 26 December 2016 (UTC)

== Increased priority ==

I thought I'd check this with you before I edit multiple pages all of which you might want to edit afterwards. I'd like to improve the priority moves' wording, they seem to be pretty Gen I centric, and have likely carried over to where they don't fit. Assuming we want to be this specific at individual move pages (which is not what I'd personally be going for), I suggest:
Quick Attack inflicts damage, and is an increased [[priority]] move. If no other Pokémon uses an increased priority move during the turn Quick Attack is used, Quick Attack will go first regardless of the user's {{stat|Speed}}. If multiple Pokémon use a move with an increased priority of +1 during the same turn, their move order will be determined normally.
I have no idea what that other paragraph with sleep and freeze is supposed to say. Do you know? (I'm inclined to believe it's only for Gen I, and also not important?) [[User:Nescientist|Nescientist]] ([[User talk:Nescientist|talk]]) 13:37, 26 December 2016 (UTC)
:I think most of the explanation can be left on the priority page. Maybe even just:
Quick Attack inflicts damage. It has a [[priority]] of +1, so is used before all moves that do not have increased priority.
:I remember reading about that sleep/freeze thing for Gen I recently, actually. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pvk_8yTyscU Here's a video explaining it.] From Gen II onward, you can actually select moves while asleep/frozen, so you move at the priority of the selected move rather than the last selected move. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 13:56, 26 December 2016 (UTC)
::Yes, great, that's what I'd personally be going for; so that's what I'll do then. I'll remove virtually everything but a link to priority, and that extra paragraph at Quick Attack.

[http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Wela_Volcano_Park&diff=2572703&oldid=2572700]

Can you direct me to the guideline where ''The italics is supposed to be the translation of the Japanese name'' is laid out? As I mentioned in my edit summary, I have been unable to find it. [[BP:MOS]] doesn't appear to say anything like that.

''The Hepburn romanization is not particularly useful for anyone'' also doesn't appear to be mentioned there, and as far as I can tell it simply is not true. This is an English-language wiki that does not appear to assume Japanese literacy on the part of its readers, so the Japanese text without a romanization is illegible to our readers and therefore practically useless (and depending on encoding might not even display properly, although I have never had this problem myself). There's actually a control for this -- why do we give the HP and RR for the Chinese and Korean names, respectively, at the bottom of the article? The only difference is that those languages aren't relevant to the topic except as random trivia.

:BTW, I notice you say that Gen VII is coming soon. I've actually got a spreadsheet detailing the whole game, but haven't put it on Bulbapedia yet (and it's missing Secret Power for everything but Ultra Space, since the only way to use it right now is via Metronome, as well as Burmy). The main reason I haven't put it up yet is due to not playing the post-game yet.

If the official Pokémon website isn't a reliable, accurate source of information, then what is? Bulbapedia is a useful resource but when the official Pokémon site directly contradicts it, the Official Pokémon site is probably the more reliable source in any given case, so I'm going to place my edit back until such a time you can link to a source about the disputed detail that proves the information on the official Pokémon website is incorrect, because there was no source given about the detail prior to my edit.

When I contacted ForceFire about SS036, which I believe has evidence proving Zygarde is indeed part of the trio, he said "I have an extremely limited understanding of the Japanese language and am not going to follow what fansubs say, since they usually take liberties. But I will bring it up with the other staff members and we will discuss it". (This was when there was no English dub.) Now that there is an English dub, I tried contacting him two or three days ago, and he hasn't responded. Could you give some feedback?"

::::::::Well, there goes my credibility. What they say makes sense, and I agree to that. It was a month ago, and I thought I had tracked it down to that function straight from the AI, but it appears I have not (correctly). I'm sorry for the confusion.

:::::::::As demonstrated by the Nightmare glitch, Claire definitely uses Full Heals.

== The Tapu ==

A few things about the Tapu/Guardian Deities/Land Spirits:

1. We really should come up with a consensus on whether we move Guardian Deities to Tapu or not. Personally, I think we should, because "Tapu" is used frequently in game AND is used frequently by the fans.

2. We should add the Tapu (and the UBs and Type:Null/Silvally, for the matter) to the Legendary and Mythical Pokémon template. We know that all of those Pokémon are either Legendary or Mythical, and the template does not differentiate between the two.

What do you think? --[[User:Celadonkey|Celad]][[User_talk:Celadonkey|onkey]] 14:17, 10 February 2017 (UTC)

== Regarding Present ==

Just a few thoughts and questions. First, considering that the behavior of healing is different between GS, C, and Stad2, shouldn't that be noted or am I misunderstanding the wording that is being used? Secondly, I figured that it would be better to start with how Present works in GS and then go to C and Stad2. May I ask why that is incorrect? (Additionally, there is now duplicated text in the Generation II section, but what should be changed could depend on the answer to my first question.) --[[User:Super goku|Super goku]] ([[User talk:Super goku|talk]]) 08:25, 15 February 2017 (UTC)
:The page does start with how it works in Gold and Silver now; you changed it so a key part of the Gold and Silver functionality was labelled as exclusive to Crystal. Present can still heal the target in Gold and Silver (as is obvious due to the message given when the target's HP is full), but if it damages the target it uses that unusual damage formula in Gold and Silver only. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 12:20, 15 February 2017 (UTC)

== Follow up ==

I spoke to an admin a couple of months ago regarding a situation with user Pikablu and I was instructed to talk it out with the user, and I did so, but I don't believe what he is saying and my suspicions keep rising even after I talked with him. I keep seeing him undo posts of mine, whether it is by editing the page or actually pressing the undo button, when they shouldn't have been done and several minutes ago, I noticed that he added back on SM015 that Professor Kukui's Rockruff is revealed to know Bite and learns Rock Throw, even know I've already said in one of the edits that he never owned Rockruff and that we don't even know if it knows Bite or not. Could you please look into this. I forget what the other example were back then, but I can assure you, they were edits that were done, even though they were not meant to be there, edits that added wrong or speculative information.

Would you mind moving your [[User:SnorlaxMonster/Pokémon GO moves]] page into the mainspace preferably under [[List of learnsets in Pokémon GO]]?

== Grammar dispute mediation ==

May I ask for a staff opinion from you, please? Tiddlywinks has asked me to go to someone higher ranked than Force Fire.

Tiddlywinks and Force Fire have been aggressively retaining usage of the incorrect "comprised of." I have numerous sources ([http://grammarist.com/usage/compose-comprise/ 1] [http://www.quickanddirtytips.com/education/grammar/comprise-versus-compose 2] [http://www.businesswritingblog.com/business_writing/2015/01/comprised-of-vs-composed-of-a-test.html 3] for starters, and plenty more can be found with a quick Google search) stating that despite its prevalence, such usage is grammatically wrong. They have not produced even a single source in favor of their argument that it's acceptable. I would be willing to drop this fight if even a single such source is presented, but Tiddlywinks is refusing to do so and unilaterally saying that on this matter, their unresearched ''opinion'' trumps correctness.

== Template ==

Hello SnorlaxMonster!

I see you've been updating templates and I was wondering if you were going to update template:catalogue? I raised a few issues about it a year ago and I don't know much about templates to fix the issue myself. I've copied-pasted what I wrote on the discussion page for [[List of Pokémon Global Link promotions/Dream World]] here:
* The links to the Pokémon Doll catalogue and Plain catalogue actually lead to another redirect. So I suggest the template should be changed to allow for a direct link.
* (This is not really a template issue, but I should raise the issue before changing it) Many of the dolls are grouped according to how they were released in the English Global Link, such as Reshiram, Zekrom and Keldeo, as well as Meloetta, Black Kyurem and White Kyurem. However, many of the Japanese and Korean releases had them released differently. For example, in Japan, while Reshiram and Zekrom were distributed together, Keldeo was actually given out with Meloetta, with Black and White Kyurem coming together in another distribution. In Korea, Reshiram and Zekrom actually came with Pikachu not Keldeo, while Meloetta, Keldeo, Black and White Kyurem all came together. So my suggestion would be split the groups into Meloetta, Keldeo, Reshira & Zekrom, and Black Kyurem & White Kyurem.

== Baby Pokémon ==

:It's possible that there is some handbook, guidebook, or page on an official site which defines the term, but I think the Undiscovered evolving into non-Undiscovered Egg Group is a good definition. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 03:13, 3 March 2017 (UTC)

== Page suggestion: a list of city slogans ==

Hey there! I had an idea earlier today for a page that collects all the city slogans so readers can browse them all in one place, instead of having to click on every city's page to see them one by one. I've started a mockup at [[User:Pumpkinking0192/List of city slogans]] and [[User:Pumpkinking0192/Template:CitySlogan]], but it's only filled out enough to be a proof of concept.

I think it's a good idea, but if there's not going to be any staff interest in mainspacing such a page, then I'd rather abandon it now instead of spending an hour or two filling it out. So before I expend that effort, I'd like to ask: do you think it's a good idea? Are the staff likely to be willing to mainspace this concept, or something like it, once it's eventually complete? Are there any structural changes that you want to suggest, especially those that would be easier to make now rather than after all the data's collected? Thanks for your input!

::Two things: 1) The page in my userspace is done and ready to go through the Editorial Board's approval process.
::2) As I was gathering the data, I noticed that all Kalos cities have either an "origin" section or a bullet point about the origin, detailing the real-world locations the cities may have been based on. However, no other city articles have this, and in fact in the past couple of months I had removed such a section from a couple of Alola city articles, thinking the precedent was that it should be excluded from city articles and put on [[Pokémon world in relation to the real world]], but in fact it appears there is no consistent precedent. What should be done about this? Should we remove it from the Kalos articles, or add it to all the others?

::::With all due respect, I understand your reasoning, but I'd rather wait and see whether I get a definite yes or no from the EB first, for three reasons:
::::1) That was a lot of work to compile, and I'm not exactly eager to immediately turn around and do a lot more work, especially after I specifically asked SM about "structural changes ... that would be easier to make now rather than after all the data's collected". If the EB asks it, sure, I'll do it, but in the meantime...
::::2) In your suggested layout, certain cities (Azalea most egregiously, but most Kanto/Johto cities tbh) would stretch the table horizontally so far that the table would be considerably wider than most readers' screen resolutions, even on desktops/laptops. Our wiki already has a plethora of tables that are too wide to read easily on mobile; I'd strongly prefer to avoid spreading that problem to desktop view.
::::3) In a perfect hypothetical future, I would love to see the page expanded with all the slogans in every language that the games have been officially released in. That would require the layout I've done (or something like it), with my initial "In other languages" section restored. For now, though, I recognize that's just a pipe dream.
::::But thanks for your concern! None of my three concerns are absolute deal-breakers, so if the EB rejects this layout I'm happy to work with you to try to find a way to reconcile our ideas. Thanks!

1) Why do the party templates for Gen VI use the art for the Pokémon and not their sprites? I understand why the Gen VII templates use the art, because not all the sprites are updated, but it seems kind of silly when the other templates use sprites.

== Lillie's quotes ==

Hi. I'm currently doing Lillie's quotes. I saw what happened with Looker having a separate Quote article. I'm wondering if Lillie should be the same too, because I'm not sure the requirements for a separate Quote article. Whether if it's due to being too long, or is it because Looker appears in many different generations of games. If it's due to the length, I think Lillie's quotes are too long to incorporate into her article. So should just I save it on [[Lillie]] first before the decision is made? — '''[[User:Ruixiang95|Ruixiang]][[User talk:Ruixiang95|95]]''' 09:28, 19 April 2017 (UTC) [Edits made on 09:53, 19 April 2017 (UTC)]

== A couple things I wanted ask you about ==

Originally, I was going to ask an admin about only one thing, but while going through the thought process of how to put it, another question came into my mind as well. So, here we go: 
1) A short while ago, I went through different Pokémon character articles to see if there were any capture locations I could pinpoint more accurately than what was already given. In most of the few cases I ran into this, that was pretty easy. But with [[Ash's Gible]] I wasn't 100% sure. Its capture location had apparently been listed as just "Sinnoh" since the article was created, and after some thought, I changed it to "Around {{rt|222|Sinnoh}}". However, since the group was on their way from Mt. Coronet to Sunyshore, which isn't exactly a straight route, I wasn't able to shake off the feeling that it wasn't completely accurate (hence the "around" part). And whenever I'm in doubt, I look for reassurance from someone else. So, what do you think? Is it accurate enough now, or should it be changed? 
2) Speaking of locations, my second question can also be seen as a request. I wondered if a Pokémon was obtained as an Egg, could it be OK to list the location where the Egg was obtained besides just the location where it hatched? Just a thought, but I hope you'll at least consider it. 
Yours truly, [[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] ([[User talk:FinnishPokéFan92|talk]]) 07:17, 23 April 2017 (UTC).
:1) I think it would be better not to make assumptions about locations that are not explicitly named. There are a lot of anime-exclusive locations. Maybe it would be better just to write "Between Mt. Coronet and Sunnyshore City"?
:2) I can see value in having the Egg obtain location in the infobox. For now, it would at least be a good idea to make sure it is explicitly stated in the article's prose (I noticed that this was not the case for [[Ash's Donphan]]). --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 08:48, 23 April 2017 (UTC)
::1) Yup. Thought as much. I'll give it some thought and change it (as a side note, I changed [[May's Munchlax]]'s capture location from just "Hoenn" to "An island between Pacifidlog and Slateport" since they were traveling between those two settlements at the time, but I didn't want to make assumptions about which one of the several routes present there they were on at the time).
::2) I'm glad to hear you support that idea. How soon do you think it can be put into proper use? --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] ([[User talk:FinnishPokéFan92|talk]]) 05:20, 24 April 2017 (UTC)
:::Not meaning to be pushy, but do you have answer to my question? Also, I changed Gible's capture location to "Between Route 210 and Daybreak Town", since the group was traveling from [[Wilma]]'s place to Daybreak Town at the time. I think it's accurate enough. Do you agree? --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] ([[User talk:FinnishPokéFan92|talk]]) 06:25, 30 April 2017 (UTC)
::::1) Was it ever stated in the anime that Wilma lives on Route 210? Couldn't you instead put something like "Near Wilma's house"?
::::2) I've added the <code>eggmet</code> parameter to the infobox, and put it into use on [[Ash's Donphan]] as an example. Feel free to put it into widespread use. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 04:08, 2 May 2017 (UTC)
:::::1) A lot of routes don't get mentioned by name in the anime, but if we have two in-game locations and an episode takes place in between them, it's pretty safe to say that it takes place on the route between them. I just figured out that since Wilma's house is located east of Mt. Coronet, the direction Ash and co. were traveling at the time, I figured that they were traveling between its location on 210 and their next destination, Daybreak Town. If this doesn't convince you, I can change it.
:::::2) Thanks. I've already put it into good use. Also, while these are rare cases, I've seen a couple of other things that I feel could be improved as well. First: Some Pokémon hatched in a different location than where they were caught, most notably perhaps [[Ash's Greninja]], whose hatching location can only be pointed to somewhere in [[Kalos]], while its capture location can be accurately be pinpointed at [[Lumiose City]]. Is this notable enough to warrant a template edit so that the capture location can also be added for a Pokémon hatched from an Egg in case it's not the same as the hatching location, or can it be defined more accurately? Second: In the case of Fossil Pokémon, could there be a part in the template that reads when and where the Fossil was obtained and when it was revived, similar to how Eggs are obtained and hatched? --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] ([[User talk:FinnishPokéFan92|talk]]) 13:29, 2 May 2017 (UTC)
::::::What do you think? Do you think these suggestions are notable enough to be put into use? --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] ([[User talk:FinnishPokéFan92|talk]]) 09:43, 5 May 2017 (UTC)
:::::::1) You're better off asking Pokemaster97 about this. I'm not entirely happy just assuming routes without being explicitly referred to as such (or having a sign with a route number on it show up in the episode), but I can see your point about it being obvious that that is the intent.
:::::::2a) My intent with the <code>eggmet</code> parameter was for when a Trainer obtains the Egg. If it hatched from an Egg in the wild, it doesn't make sense to consider when and where the Egg was "obtained" because it never was (including for the episode that the Egg is obtained in). Additionally, I think it would be a good idea to have separate "Hatched at" and "Caught at" locations usable for Pokémon that hatched from Eggs in the wild.
:::::::2b) Are there actually any anime fossil Pokémon that have their own pages such that this functionality would be useful? I don't remember any owned by major characters. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 10:02, 5 May 2017 (UTC)
::::::::1) Thanks for the hint. I'll contact him about the subject.
::::::::2a) Separate hatching and capture locations were pretty much what I was going after. Thanks for agreeing.
::::::::2b) I can think of [[Roark's Rampardos]] and [[Aero|Red's Aero]]. With the latter, the debut appearance currently listed there is the round where the fossil was obtained, and the resurrection round is listed under the "evolved in" segment of the template, which seems inaccurate in my opinion. --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] ([[User talk:FinnishPokéFan92|talk]]) 10:53, 5 May 2017 (UTC)

== Parting Shot ==

Excuse me, but could you possibly revisit it? I don't mean the parts where I just copied U-Turn (oops), but the dependencies: I now realize it may be supposed to say that the user will switch even if the target has Clear Body, is at -6 etc.?? I had removed that part because it sounded like the user also switches when the move misses, which is not the case (and I can't seem to find a nice way to make that distinction, but maybe you could make it clearer). Also, I removed the "even if it cannot switch out" part because a) U-Turn doesn't have it, b) the sentence is really awkward then (grammatically and information-presentation-wise), and c) imo it's clear anyway.

== Sky Attack ==

Are you sure about the contents of [[Special:Diff/2190530|this edit]], specifically that the high crit ratio started in Gen V (not Gen III)? It doesn't seem to have a high critical hit ratio in Gens I+II, but the descriptions also don't say that. (Fun fact: Apparently has an explicit 0% flinch chance in Gen II.) UPC, Showdown and the in-game descriptions contradict Gen V. But you could have more info, and I can't access [http://www.smogon.com/forums/showthread.php?t=26660&highlight=rock&page=4 this thread] from the edit history (but I imagine it could just confirm no increased ratio in Gen I or II). And in case there's nothing substantial: can we change it? [[User:Nescientist|Nescientist]] ([[User talk:Nescientist|talk]]) 16:40, 2 May 2017 (UTC)

:::Oh, Flinch ≠ Crit? Got it!
:::If you think that confirms it, could you reference it somehow?
:::But maybe let me say: I'm not entirely convinced by that (thx for the pastebin btw); I wouldn't rule out that it was just bad luck. They don't usually outright lie; they're Japanese! (I also do see a slim chance that they just screwed it up in Gen IV, but that it used to work in Gen III.)
:::Explanation: I believe in Gen III, high critical hit ratio also increases the rate from 1/16 to 1/8 (unlike what we currently say; see [http://upcarchive.playker.info/0/upokecenter/content/pokemon-ruby-version-sapphire-version-and-emerald-version-critical-hit-method.html UPC]). Assuming the first test was in Gen III (do you have context?), if there was an 1/16 CH chance, there is a 12.9% chance to observe 8/108 CHs; but there is also a 3.3% chance to observe that if there was a 1/8 crit chance (per multinomial distributions, and also assuming I did the math correctly). In other words, there is a chance that this is misinterpreted bad luck. For the smaller DP sample, bad luck appears to be a little bit less likely (21.1% vs. 3.3%). (I'm not sure how to extract the exact chance/likelihood/whatever that it's a 1/8 CH chance rather than the assumed 1/16, but I think it wouldn't be enough ''for me'' to overrule the description, and to say it is wrong). [[User:Nescientist|Nescientist]] ([[User talk:Nescientist|talk]]) 17:01, 5 May 2017 (UTC)
::::Yes, from the context it is clear that the first test is in Gen III.
::::That's interesting point about the probability of it being a high critical hit ratio move still not being vanishingly small, although my suggestion would be to try testing it yourself if you're still not convinced. To me, it seems entirely feasible that Game Freak intended to make Sky Attack a high critical hit ratio move, but because it's a two-turn move something about that didn't work (e.g. it only has a high critical hit ratio on the turn it is initially used rather than the turn it hits, so Power Herb might give different results), then when they rebuilt the game engine in Gen V the bug didn't get programmed in again. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 04:15, 6 May 2017 (UTC)
:::::Hm, I think this is about whether you're (still?) convinced. I'm not convinced either way, but as I said, I wouldn't have said "they're wrong, I know better". On the other hand, maybe they ''are'' wrong.
:::::I thought about that, too, but then what about {{m|Razor Wind}}? [[User:Nescientist|Nescientist]] ([[User talk:Nescientist|talk]]) 09:13, 6 May 2017 (UTC)
::::::Ok, after discussing some of it with friends, I'm almost sure the Smogon guys just unterestimated probabilities. I believe I found out how to "extract" properly, and that their Gen III observations are 20.5% likely to stem from a 1/16 CH ratio (and 79.5% from a 1/8 one; assuming it needs to be one of them), while the Gen IV observations are 13.6% likely (in contrast to 86.4%). That's not really much.
::::::In addition, I tested in Generation III (I'm not easily able to in Gen IV). Out of 50 hits, 9 were critical hits. Despite being a small sample, my apparent "luck" boosts the same measure to 96.8% likely 1/8 chance (and only 3.2% 1/16).
::::::That's not compelling evidence for me that UPC is correct with everything (in particular, whether high CH chance moves are only boosted by 1 stage!), but it is enough for me to seriously doubt the "No increased CH ratio, wrong description" thesis.

== Image Replacement Permission ==

Hello! I'm trying to change the Pokédex entry image on [[ゥ/ 4ァ 4,|this page]], but it seems that I must ask for permission from an administrator to do that.

== Generation II AI misses ==

I've repeatedly postponed mainspacing this, hoping for some bright idea: In Generation II, battle mechanics are biased. [https://github.com/pret/pokecrystal/blob/master/battle/effect_commands.asm#L5850 Stat-lowering], [https://github.com/pret/pokecrystal/blob/master/battle/effect_commands.asm#L5047 sleep-inducing], [https://github.com/pret/pokecrystal/blob/master/battle/effect_commands.asm#L7733 paralyzing] and [https://github.com/pret/pokecrystal/blob/master/battle/effect_commands.asm#L5147 poisoning] status moves used by AI opponents have a 1/4 of failing, before applying accuracy tests (except in the Battle Tower or after Lock-On/Mind-Reader). This seems to also affect stat-lowering effects of damaging moves, whose real chance of activating their effects should be 1/4 lower for opponents, except for Mud-Slap and Octazooka. So, for example, opponents' {{m|Growl}} can miss at neutral accuracy/evasion levels (which I've re-confirmed on a Silver cartridge), but yours can't; your {{m|Aurora Beam}} should have a 10% of lowering their Atk, but theirs has a 7.5% chance of lowering yours.

That's problematic enough, but my real problem is: Where does this belong? I don't have anything I'm 100% comfortable with: I can't seem to find a way to have it fit smoothly anywhere, but it's important enough that it should probably be on multiple pages, somehow. So, my bright idea is to ask for bright ideas. Do you have any? [[User:Nescientist|Nescientist]] ([[User talk:Nescientist|talk]]) 22:37, 1 June 2017 (UTC)
:Well, we could certainly create a {{redlink|Miss}} article and include them there. Otherwise, I don't really have any good ideas.

::That'd be a good place for it, yes. Have you also considered a more general article on hitting, that would include things like accuracy tests (and their bypass), "miss", "fail", "ineffective", "protection", and "lack of target"? I guess all but "ineffective" could even redirect there, and we could even try to include something on additional effects, possibly even target/range. The title isn't as straightforward (maybe the lack of a good title is the main counterargument), but I guess a more general page could be more useful!? (I don't really like our current [[accuracy]] article, especially if we relocate the Gen I glitch, so maybe we should keep in mind to also improve it along the way!?)

== I'm willing to put a Gen VII Shiny Photo on the [[Shiny Pokémon]] Page! ==

Hi, SnorlaxMonster, I'm new to Bulbapedia but even knowing that newbies get very little access to doing anything on Bulbapedia, I want to get permisson to put an image on the [[Shiny Pokemon]] Page! But not just any image. Just like the Generation [[Generation II|2]], [[Generation III|3]], [[Generation IV|4]], and [[Generation V|5]] images that look like GIFs, I recently made a Generation [[Generation VII|Generation 7]] GIF that I want to get permission to do.

It even says this on the page:
<code><nowiki>{{incomplete|needs=info and images for Generation VII}}</nowiki></code>

Since it's been several months without a Generation VII Image and after the [[Generation VI]] image is not a GIF, I am willing to bring back the GIF Photos with [[Generation VII]]!

Would it be okay if I uploaded the [[Shiny Pokémon]] [[Generation VII]] Sparkling Photo?

I already made it[http://i.imgur.com/ejDltKf.gifv] --[[User:JohnKroozie|JohnKroozie]] ([[User talk:JohnKroozie|talk]]) 17:44, 6 August 2017 (UTC)
:Did you capture the image yourself, or did you create this GIF from someone else's video?

If I could, I'd tell you how I captured it! As I was recording [[Pokemon Sun]] on my Nintendo 3DS, I unexpectedly encountered a [[Shiny]] the regular way! That's when I used Premiere Pro to edit out everything in the recording EXCEPT for the [[Shiny]] Part. Then I took advantage of Premiere Pro's "Export" setting to convert the video to a GIF File! Then I used an online website to make it a real GIF.
And I'm sorry I kinda replied late! --[[User:JohnKroozie|JohnKroozie]] ([[User talk:JohnKroozie|talk]]) 18:37, 12 August 2017 (UTC)

Anyway, we normally don't use animated images for 3D games because the filesizes end up too large; we have a maximum filesize of 2 MB, which I would surprised if you were able to get that image to fit inside (either as a GIF or animated PNG). However, a still image of the sparkle effect would certainly be useful.
::Anyway, before I give you the go-ahead to upload such a still image, just to make sure you did actually capture the image yourself, would you mind taking a screenshot of a Pikachu nicknamed "KroozieBP" and uploading it to an external image host (like Imgur)?

== Guidance ==

Hey, so I found you via recent changes as a big time user, so you're probably my best bet to answer a question. I'm a long-time Pokemon fan, Bulbapedia reader, and Wiki contributor; but, with regards to that latter point, I've never edited on this particular wiki. I've noticed some things I can improve here, but I can't. My ideas require an additional MediaWiki extension. What I mostly need to know is the best possible place to post a fully fleshed-out proposal. I think my ideas will improve on every aspect of how things operate. My phrasing here was kind of vague, so if you require more info about my ideas, I'd be happy to elaborate a little.

As I said, I'm not new to wiki editing in general. I do know the difficulties of being in a new community though.

== 3DS image uploads and Miiverse ==

I am interested in uploading images from Rumble World and Super Mystery Dungeon, mainly of moves and status conditions, but also anything else that might need an image from those games. However, since I lack 3DS capture capability, I would first have to upload the images to Miiverse, then save them from there and upload them to the archives. Images uploaded to Miiverse are initially .jpg, which I understand isn't ideal, so I was wondering if it was still fine to use them as long as I converted them to png before uploading to the archives.

== Category update problem ==

As you're the first person I tend to think about when I encounter a problem in Bulbapedia (sorry about that, BTW), I decided to ask you if you know anything about this thing. For some reason, about a month ago, Bulbapedia started acting weird for me for a short time (like logging me out whenever I left the site etc.), after which 1) all links that I had used on Bulbapedia turned from "used" to "unused", and, more importantly, 2) categories started refusing to update. Now whenever a page is added to a category, or even when a category is created with a page already listed in that category, the page does not show up in that category. Sorry if this sounds like rambling, but do you know about anything that could've caused this? Oh, and in case this subject is talked about at the Bulbagarden forums, just a heads-up: I don't use that. --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] ([[User talk:FinnishPokéFan92|talk]]) 11:34, 11 September 2017 (UTC)

There hasn't been a decision about how to deal with Poké Ball yet (due to the specific item and overall class sharing a name), so that's currently on hold. TMs and HMs are fine how they are for now and won't be getting the new item template.
:::Regarding relinking, I've been linking directly to the item names [[Special:Diff/2190548|for years]] ([[Special:Diff/1298372|originally even replacing section links with plain links]]), although another user would usually change them to section links after my edits. I don't see any point in not relinking pages that will need to be in the near future, so when I edit pages I have been turning all item links into plain links (except <code><nowiki>{{ball|Poké}}</nowiki></code>, <code><nowiki>{{DL|Potion|Potion}}</nowiki></code>, and <code><nowiki>{{DL|Revive|Revive}}</nowiki></code>) even when the items don't have individual pages yet. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 16:22, 21 September 2017 (UTC)
::::Thanks. That seems reasonable, I think I'll adopt that, then. I've very recently thought about a related issue, and with the items split, I think I might try to rid myself of the habit of ''always'' using direct links.

:Yes, those examples would be correct, although there hasn't really been any specific discussion on Colo/XD-exclusive items. Unobtainable items probably won't, although the [[Teru-sama]] is going to keep the page it already has. For key items, the plain page name is often a disambig and not a redirect (e.g. [[S.S.

== A totally random thing that I need someone's help for ==

As I've noticed that Bulbapedia seems to have allowed adding the actual type of type-changing moves (like {{m|Hidden Power}} or {{m|Multi-Attack}}), as opposed to them just being listed as {{type|Normal}} moves, into in-game moveset templates, I've been in the process of adding those missing types wherever I can. Unfortunately, since Hidden Power is a rather common move in [[Pokémon Stadium 2]], a game I do not own, I've been restricted into using YouTube videos while figuring them out, and those videos are a rather limited resource. They've only helped me in figuring out the type of a handful of them, but many still remain unsolved. Which brings me to my point: is there any way of figuring these out? Since you're my go-to guy when it comes to problems I face in Bulbapedia (an honest apology if that bothers you, BTW), I though about asking this from you. So, do you or anybody else you might think of have a way of figuring this out? Thank you for reading. --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] ([[User talk:FinnishPokéFan92|talk]]) 09:42, 28 September 2017 (UTC)
:I imagine you could check the game data of Stadium 2 to find out, but I don't really have the ability to do that. The easier alternative would just be to get someone who does have the game to check, rather than relying on YouTube videos. I don't have the game, but you could check the category {{cat|Pokémon Stadium 2 players}} and ask an active user there. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 09:47, 28 September 2017 (UTC)
::I thought about that possibility, too. I agree that checking the game's code would be the easiest way of find this stuff out.

:I believe [http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/ultra/en-us/gallery-detail-3.html the context] makes it clear that "as well" means "in addition to its regular form".

== Ability Capsule and Category:Items ==

While I am not one to argue with Admins or otherwise authority, stating that Category:Items is used for only items in the Item pocket is 100% false. Category:Items currently (and as far as I am aware has always) contained subcategoried for Key Items, Berries, and Medicine, and contains unlistable number of items that are not just "Item Pouch" items. Category:Medicine itself is entirely part of Category:Items, and all items within it use the dual category classification that you just undid, which is why I was correcting it the Ability Capsule page.

No disrespect intended, but I feel this change to be both incorrect and counterproductive
--[[User:13akoors|13akoors]] ([[User talk:13akoors|talk]]) 05:45, 4 March 2018 (UTC)

EDIT: After re-looking, it seeks that only subcategories follow the system I was using. That said, Ability Capsules do not fit within any subcategory, so I would argue an exception should be made for it
:I think I might have been a bit unclear. Only items in the items pocket should be ''directly'' placed in Category:Items. The Medicine category is in Category:Items, but the items in Category:Medicine are not also placed directly in Category:Items.
:There was discussion about creating a new category specifically for the items pocket (so that no items would be placed directly in Category:Items), although we hadn't agreed on a name. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 05:50, 4 March 2018 (UTC)

== A bunch of things ==

Hi there. I've got several things:
#[[User talk:Kogoro#Template:MoveInfobox]]: Any idea what to do about it? I've really tried hard, and Kogoro is(/was) aware but continues to ignore me. (Also, do you know anything regarding BulbaBot? I'm not even sure it's intended to be fixed.)
#[[Talk:Pokémon outbreak#Generation III outbreaks]]: FYI.
#The fossil pages: I guess pages named "X and Y Fossils" are supposed to end up deleted? If so, I guess the procedure would be to first de-link them, then move them onto "X Fossil" (to preserve history) and split off "Y Fossil"? If that's right/reasonable, if ''someone'' went and took care of links, would you be able to do the rest (as Lanthanum has started to create individual pages in their userspace, I guess it'll require <code>delete</code> and <code>mergehistory</code>)?
#[[#New pages notability]]/[[User:Nescientist/Confusion (status condition)]]: Any progress there?
#[[Template talk:Sup/t#Link target]]: Could you have a look, please?
#[[Template:Movelist]]: I'd like to have movelists like those at {{m|Snatch}} be sortable. But the template creates and hides up to four columns, causing the Gen.VII column to order by Gen.III etc., which makes me wonder: what was wrong with [[Special:Diff/2656742|this edit]] that caused you to develop some workaround (that breaks the sorting)? (And also, why are there even optional generic columns at all?) You're more into it, plus you stated reasons in that workaround edit summary that I think I fail to understand thoroughly.
Thanks. [[User:Nescientist|Nescientist]] ([[User talk:Nescientist|talk]]) 17:19, 6 March 2018 (UTC)
:Bumping, and expanding:
::7. Could you do the Bottle Caps Lanthanum started in their userspace?
::8. Can I do [[Potion]] in a similar way than [[Revive]] (and change <code><nowiki>{{DL|Potion|Potion}}</nowiki></code> be changed to <code><nowiki>[[Potion]]</nowiki></code> in the process?)
::9. What also came to my mind is [[legendary artifacts]]: Akurochan recently created articles on many of them, and when considering how to fix their introductions, I came to the conclusion that I think we shouldn't deliberately link there at all, but delete the page!? It's basically just a list of {{template|Item}} templates for largely unrelated items, and you said at its talk that it was just a title that describes that list. I don't know how much deleting pages with histories (and talk pages) is frowned upon (and I don't like it much), so maybe we just move the article onto the category?? (Should I address this on the articles talk page? Or else, if you give me a go, I guess I can do the rest even without admin powers!?)

== Separate shiny images for Diancie and Mega Diancie (for use on long-overdue Diancie usertag) ==

Given that you uploaded [[:File:Shiny Diancie Mega Evolution.png]], can you please carefully extract the Shiny Diancie and Shiny Mega Diancie images from the background and upload them as individual, transparent-background images of the same size as their non-shiny Global Link counterparts ([[:File:719Diancie Dream.png]] and [[:File:719Diancie Mega Dream.png]])? I am trying to make a usertag for Diancie using the Dream images (because Diancie has no Black/White-style sprites) and want to accommodate both Shiny and Shiny Mega images into the coding. I cannot use the Spr_6x_, Spr_6o_, or Spr_7s_ images because they have too much transparent padding around and the MediaWiki software does not allow for cropping images invoked using the <code><nowiki>[[File:image.png|size]]</nowiki></code> construct.

== "Fainted shouldn't be considered a status condition" ==

It is though. And that's not our decision to make, it's the game's. Revives have been classified as Status Restore since Generation IV. [[User:TehPerson|TehPerson]] ([[User talk:TehPerson|talk]]) 17:58, 7 January 2019 (UTC)
: Also see [[Fainting]] and [[Template:StatusNav]] if you still disagree. [[User:TehPerson|TehPerson]] ([[User talk:TehPerson|talk]]) 18:01, 7 January 2019 (UTC)
::I agree, fainting has always been treated as a status condition both in the games and on BP... --[[User:Celadonkey|Celadonkey]] ([[User talk:Celadonkey|talk]]) 18:25, 7 January 2019 (UTC)
:::Status restore includes items that restores status conditions (such as Awakening and Full Restore) as well as items that do not (such as the Red Flute and Revives). The games define status conditions as sleep, poison, freeze, paralysis, and burn. Fainted and Pokérus sometimes use the same position in the user interface for display purposes, but they are not status conditions. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 08:50, 8 January 2019 (UTC)
::::That's more like a personal interpretation that something official, which should be kept out of articles. As far as the game is concerned, Revives have been classified under Status Restore, even though I personally think it belongs under HP Restore, and still sometimes look in the wrong pocket for the Revive. Just because I personally think a Revive better fits an HP Restore, I wouldn't put that in BP because that's just personal interpretation. [[User:TehPerson|TehPerson]] ([[User talk:TehPerson|talk]]) 17:41, 8 January 2019 (UTC)
:::::The point I'm making is that it's confirmed that the "Status Restore" category isn't exclusively a category for items that restore status conditions, so it provides no indication of whether a given status is a status condition or not. FireRed and LeafGreen's help menu gives a fairly clear definition of "Status Problem" (what status conditions were called at the time).
<blockquote><ab>Status problems include:
Sleep: Can't use moves.
Poison: Causes steady HP loss.
Paralysis: May prevent moves.
Burn: HP loss and lowers ATTACK.
Freeze: Can't use moves.
These can be healed with items, etc.</ab></blockquote>
:::::There are plenty of other cases make it pretty clear that fainting is not a status condition. The descriptions of {{m|Safeguard}}, [[Full Heal]], [[Full Restore]], etc. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 11:20, 9 January 2019 (UTC)

These include items to heal HP or PP, such as Potions and Elixirs, items that boost stats or levels, such as vitamins and Rare Candy, and items that help Pokémon recover from '''status conditions or fainting''', such as Antidotes and Revives.

== School/College usertags ==

I made two generic usertags identifying the user as either a student or an alumnus of a user-specified school, college, or university (with a user-specified Pokémon image standing in for the school's mascot):
* [[User:SilSinn9801/User Student]]
* [[User:SilSinn9801/User Alumnus]]

The usertag policy states that a usertag template may only be moved to templatespace if at least five users transclude it into their userpages. But given that almost everybody in Bulbapedia either attends or has attended school, and given that most schools use animal-based mascots and many Pokémon resemble such animals, it might not be too long before these usertags become popular (perhaps as popular as political tags, if not more). ‑‑[[User:SilSinn9801|''SilSinn'']] ([[TID]]s: '''768426[[Pokémon Sun|S]]''', '''123446[[Pokémon Ultra Moon|UM]]''') ([[User talk:SilSinn9801|talk]]) 21:50, 28 January 2019 (UTC)

== Religion usertag ==

I also made a new [[:Category:Religion tags|religious usertag]] that you might like to check out:
* [[User:SilSinn9801/User Freemason]]

It is still subject to the usertag policy that requires at least five users before being moved to templatespace. But it's still a cool usertag (that doesn't mean I am a Freemason, however). ‑‑[[User:SilSinn9801|''SilSinn'']] ([[TID]]s: '''768426[[Pokémon Sun|S]]''', '''123446[[Pokémon Ultra Moon|UM]]''') ([[User talk:SilSinn9801|talk]]) 00:23, 29 January 2019 (UTC)

== Automatically updating GO stats on all the pages ==

Most of the stats for older-generation Pokémon are grossly outdated, and it doesn't seem like anyone wants to manually go through all the pages to update them, so I created a simple solution to kill hundreds of birds with one stone.

I left the information and test cases [[Template_talk:Spindata/GO#Automatic_way_to_update_all_stats|here]]. Basically a lookup template that, when placed into [[Template:Spindata/GO]], will instantly update all the stats.

== Move Reminder stuff ==

I see you reverted my edit to the Move Reminder page. I just want to say that there wasn't any breeding involved on my end. When I got my Numel to learn Double-Edge and it evolved into Camerupt, eventually I replaced Double-Edge with Earthquake and when I took it to the Move Reminder, Double-Edge was one of the moves that it could re-learn. The same thing happened with a Pikachu that I evolved into a Raichu. The Pikachu had known Agility, which Raichu cannot learn, but upon evolving the Raichu, Agility was available to be re-learned. I didn't undo your edit because I want you to perhaps see for yourself, and because I'm unsure of which generation this phenomenon began. It's very easy to do with Pikachu if you've got some Thunder Stones. [[User:Blue Ninjakoopa|BNK]][[User talk:Blue Ninjakoopa|Talk]] 02:11, 7 February 2019 (UTC)

So, why is the MLP bit listed here? All that happens in the actual episode is that Twilight gets angry and turns into a Rapidash-like figure.

It wasn't meant to be a Pokémon reference, I don't think. It's seriously Twilight, not Rapidash, so I'm betting that there was a brony who was being annoying (big surprise) and just added it for the sake of adding it, so I'm removing it now. --[[User:GoldenSandslash15|GoldenSandslash15]] ([[User talk:GoldenSandslash15|talk]]) 19:40, 25 June 2013 (UTC)

They made fun of Pokémon in the show Strip Mall, which aired on Comedy Central in the 90's. Its super long ago, but I remember the show was about adult movies being filmed in a strip mall.

She says she accidentally bought it for her kids and on the cover the guy is a Pikachu. At some point he wakes up from the coma and is then knocked back out by the enraged and sickened girlfriend.

==Put My Little Pony Back in!==
I think it's obvious that the joke in My Little Pony was a parody of Rapidash. It may be a joke about her getting so mad that she catches fire. But try comparing this [http://mlp.wikia.com/wiki/File:Twilight_angry_S1E15.png shot] to Twilight's normal form and Rapidash. Who does she look more like? She looks more like Rapidash than herself. Really. Let's compare. Normally Twilight has purple fur. This Twilight has light yellow fur like Rapidash. Normal Twilight has purple eyes. This Twilight has red eyes. Normal Twilight has straight black mane with a pink streak. This Twilight has fiery mane like Rapidash. Her cutie mark is gone. And there are other ways that they could have used this effect. One is to make her completely engulfed in flames like Human Torch. She could get an aura of flame without changing color. She can just turn red. Or she can get mad with out any exaggeration. They can even take that scene out. It's not that important to leave it in. Twilight finally accepts the Pinkie Sense immediately after that Rapidash freak-out. While her body shape, height and art-style remained the same and her mane flames higher than Rapidash, she still obviously resembles Rapidash. How can that be unintentional? How would you know if some of the references on this page were intentional? Did the companies state they were? I think if an image obviously screams Pokémon like this, it should be added intentional or not. It doesn't matter if it's brief. It doesn't matter if it's just a character looking that way. It's obvious that Hasbro took advantage of Rapidash's unicorn look, the cartoon physics of bursting into flames when your angry and the fact that their show was attracting a broader audience than intended. I want that My Little Pony reference back in! And My Little Pony had later references for the bronies, like non-anthropomorphic versions of Mordekei and Rigby from Regular Show appearing as Fluttershy's animals. Sure, Regular Show may not have anything to do with Pokémon, but it shows a pattern and helps my Rapidash case.

Let the picture speak for itself. Thank you Twilight. Oh shoot, I just made my first brony meme! Oh well, not like this joke was DONE TO DEATH!

Here's a comparison between Twilight Sparkle and Rapidash. Now tell me, doesn't that moment when Twilight got mad make her look a lot like Rapidash? Red eyes, check. Fire mane check. Whitish yellow fur, check. Lack of cutie mark, check. She looked like a hybrid of herself and Rapidash. In fact the Rapidash is more noticeable than Twilight. She looks like a Rapidash that was transported into MLP universe. Also, how do we know that it was unintentional? Did you know what other ways she could get angry without turning into Rapidash? In fact the anger didn't need to be there in the first place because Twilight instantly calmed down and accepted the Pinkie Sense. Look at her original look. She's purple! And has straight hair with magenta streaks. And she has a cutie mark. She briefly loses that when she turned into Rapidash. And I have to disagree with Golden Sandslash when he pointed out that it was not meant to be a Pokémon reference. It obviously was a Pokémon reference. Why else would Twilight look like that? I mean look at the context. Pinkie Pie has this "Pinkie Sense". She shivered and sensed that a really big "doozy" would happen. The mane 6 get chased by a hydra. They escape the Hydra, but Pinkie's Sense kept tingling, meaning the Hydra wasn't the doozy. Twilight was surprised and confused at what could be doozier than a hydra. Pinkie told her she don't know. Twilight then turned into Rapidash for a second and quickly calmed down and finally believed in the Pinkie Sense. While it wasn't really Rapidash in-story, she clearly resembled one. Was it needed in the episode? No. Did Hasbro know of the Brony fandom? Possibly. Was it intentional? Most likely. Were there other references in My Little Pony to other franchises? Yep. So I'm very convinced that this was meant to be a Poké reference. And very fitting since the pre-evolved form of Rapidash was '''''Pony'''''ta. [[User:SeanWheeler|SeanWheeler]] ([[User talk:SeanWheeler|talk]]) 04:28, 3 July 2014 (UTC)
:It is not obviously a Pokemon reference. I saw the episode once upon a time and the thought that she looked like Rapidash never crossed my mind. Anger and fiery/red go hand-in-hand. She got angry so she got bitchin' flames for hair and red eyes against a red background. I'm not an artist, but I can see the white fur being because it just looks better than keeping the purple; or maybe it's just keeping in line with the fire theme: white hot. And the cutie mark could have been forgotten or could have been deemed trivial or in-the-way.

Her turning into Rapidash wasn't. And was it that necessary for her to turn into that Rapidash-like pony for a second right before believing in Pinkie Pie? Your playing a guessing game too.

::::::::::Also, if you thought something like this was unintentional, how do you know if all the other references were intentional? I mean, what if a kid from Kids Next Door cosplayed as Ash was an accident? That may be unlikely but I have a hard time believing that a state of anger that makes Twilight look more like Rapidash than herself. I know there is a cartoon effect of bursting into flames when angry, but I think Hasbro took advantage of the fiery anger effect and thought of Rapidash. After all, Rapidash was one of the original Kanto Pokémon. And even if some of you didn't get the joke at first, a lot of bronies who know about Pokémon got the joke. And the Togepi speculation template is there for a reason. Twilight didn't have to turn white when on fire. She could have turned red. Her pupils didn't have to turn red and merge with her irises. Her mane didn't have to be totally replaced with flames. There is no reason to think it was unintentional and excuses are only good for preventing Nintendo from suing Hasbro, and considering it's really just Twilight getting fiery mad and is a lot shorter and her mane is rising higher, I think Hasbro was already safe. Ling-Ling from Drawn Together doesn't look that much like Pikachu. I think Twilight flaring up really deserves a mention. It's blatantly obvious to me. If it's not obvious, that's your opinion. But many bronies agree that she turned into Rapidash. It was even joked about in [http://mlp.wikia.com/wiki/Twilight_Sparkle/Gallery/Season_1_episodes_14-26#Feeling_Pinkie_Keen Twilight's gallery on My Little Pony Wiki], as well as the [http://mlp.wikia.com/wiki/Feeling_Pinkie_Keen/Gallery episode gallery].

I think something so noticed that it achieves meme status should be listed here, don't you? In fact, Rapidash helped the joke. So I do not think this is an accident.

(reset indent) You know, it gets boring when I become the only one talking on a talk page and no one is commenting. The resemblence is too uncanny for a coincidence. It's so obvious that there's a meme. Thinking of Rapidash would help out the joke. Turning her into Rapidash wasn't a coincidence, it was a clever joke. And it was unnecessary to the episode. Based on all of my reasons, are we still going to ignore it and brush it off as a coincidence or accept it as a sneaky Rapidash cameo? How does it feel like a coincidence?

==Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends==
Someone deleted the reference to the "Cuckoo for Coco Cards" episode when Bloo said he had all 150 of the original set. I think they were going for a Pokémon reference there. The plot of the episode involved Coco making "Foster's Cards", which were basically trading cards of Foster's friends. Bloo became desperate for some cards, and after whining to get them, he said, "I've collected all 150 Foster's cards!" shortly before Coco announced she was making a "Series 2". This sounds like a blatant parody of how Pokémon fans were; whining and becoming desperate for them, and then when they collected them all, Generation II came out. Many of the Pokémon parodies seem to use this, so I wouldn't be surprised if that were the case here. [[User:Matty|Matty]] ([[User talk:Matty|talk]]) 06:54, 4 July 2014 (UTC)

==Jokamal==
On the episode "Mexican Day" of TV Funhouse (a short lived show on Comedy Central based off the SNL cartoon shorts) their was a cartoon short called Jokamal. The plot was that RJ Reynolds has agreed to stop using Joe Camel to advertise cigarette to children. Instead, the company has decided to make a tobacco free cartoon called Jokamal. It is a parody of the Pokemon cartoon with Joe Camel as Pikachu. Throughout the show, the audience is told to buy Jokamal merchandise and is given subliminal messages to buy camel cigarettes.

In today's Zits' comic, there is a Pokemon reference.

Would it be a good idea to save the image of this comic strip in another website or this website?

== This article will be cleaned up ==

This article, as it stand, is a complete mess. Many references aren't references at all ; others are far too debatable, and every little background appearance is mixed in without rhyme or reason with explicit, clear references. As a result, this is what the staff intends to do with this article :

-"List of Pokémon Parodies" will be split off as its own article. Anything that is not actually Pokémon but instead a disguised version of Pokémon (eg, chin-poko-extra-mon, the seizure anime in the Simpsons) will go there.

-"List of background references to Pokémon in popular culture" will be made into a child of this article. Background references are those where the Pokémon reference is something that the main characters don't comment or interact with: a secondary character or extra wearing a pikachu shirt ; a charmander figure sitting on a shelf ; a pokémon poster in the background in a store, etc.

-In all cases, a reference need to be absolutely clear. A red and white circular form ; an unspecified blue wrestler and so forth are not clear (unless you have a a reliable source saying the creators deliberately put that in to refer to Pokémon).

-For TV, fiction and non-fiction (including wrestling and reality shows as well as comedy show and gaming show) are to be split in separate sections.

-For Real World references, only lasting, long-term references. Naming something after Pokémon (a life form, an asteroid, a product, etc) is a reference : mentioning Pokémon in an interview or theming an occasional event after Pokémon isn't.

-For music, explicit, clear pokémon references in a song (or in the band's name) belong in the main article ; background references in the video clip, in the band's fashion styles, etc, go into background references. (Parodies still go into parodies).

-Please don'T add any further websites. We haven't yhet decided how to handle those, but we don't want further additions for now.

Please keep those in mind before adding anything new. Changes will be implemented over the next while. --[[User:Evil Figment|Evil Figment]] ([[User talk:Evil Figment|talk]]) 07:31, 27 December 2016 (UTC)

==New Criteria - Respect them! ==

Now that the page is in the process of being cleaned up, the following are the ''requirements'' for any new entries.
*The reference must be explicit. It can't be that something "looks like" a Pokémon character, Pokémon logo, etc.
**If you're not sure whether something is Pokémon, or feel that you need to ask, or feel that you need to say it "resemble" a Pokémon: do not include it.
*The reference must be ''significant'': Minor mentions and background appearances are to be listed separately.
**It can't be just a mention of the existence of the Pokémon franchise (like "Pokémon? That used to be popular here" or "Pokémon is going to be on TV soon!")
**It must be something lasting: a celebrity or politician name-dropping Pokémon in a speech or interview is not significant unless the reference itself become particularly important.
**It must be more than costuming or accessories: characters wearing Pokémon clothes, or Pokémon items appearing in the background of a scene, or one-shot sight gags are background references.
*Game shows questions and factual mentions of Pokémon in news and similar shows are not references or mentions.
*People mentioning Pokémon in an interview (or in a speech, etc) is not a reference, unless the speech's mention of Pokémon become particularly notable
*The reference must actually be to Pokémon itself. Parodies of Pokémon (things that look very much like the Pokémon franchise, but deliberately have another name, like Chinpokomon) are listed separately.
*Websites can only be included if the website itself (not its creator) has its own Wikipedia entry.

:It's been pointed out to me that a useful rule of thumbs to distinguish between mention and reference is asking yourself whether you can easily replace Pokémon with Digimon (or with a random specific digimon) in the sentence. If the dialogue still works largely the same after making the change, then it's a mention (and doesn't warrant inclusion). If this significantly alter the sense of the dialogue, ruin the joke, require altering a lot of lines, or require hunting down a very specific digimon (instead of using any random digimon) to keep the sense intact, then what you have is a reference, and may warrant inclusion on the list.

:Examples:
:*The Doctor flooding downstairs with Pokémon to distract people: here, "I flooded downstairs with Digimon" does not work, because the joke and plot rely on the specific Pokémon Go game and its mechanisms. This is a reference.
:*The "Arceus" comment in House: here, "Agumon invented hundreds of poison" doesn't make much sense. A specific Digimon might work for the joke, but since we have to figure out a very specific digimon, this joke relies on the characteristics of a specific pokémon: it is a reference.
:*In the Ghost Stories example, a broadcast "begins right after Pokémon". Changing this to "right after Digimon" result in a sentence that means the same thing: it's a ''mention'', and should be left out.

Where would references within a webcomic go in this page? Comics? Websites? A new section entirely? --[[User:Lone Gaurumon|Lone_]][[User talk:Lone Gaurumon|Garurumon]] 07:26, 2 May 2018 (UTC)
:Website, if they meet the condition (eg, the specific webcomic must have its own wikipedia entry). --[[User:Evie|Evie]] ([[User talk:Evie|talk]]) 18:20, 3 May 2018 (UTC)

In the "Gamer" minigame in ''Game & Wario'', one of the screens on 9-Volt's TV features a bear that strongly resembles [[Teddiursa]] running alongside two rabbits. Is this noteworthy?

Move Reminder

2018-08-17T06:43:56Z

Blue Ninjakoopa: /* Teachable moves */ just confirmed this with Numel -> Camerupt as well as Pikachu -> Raichu (to get Agility onto it). not sure if this started in Gen VII or VI

{{search|characters who teach moves Pokémon can learn at previous levels|the characters who teach Pokémon moves outside of their normal learnsets|Move Tutor}}
A '''Move Reminder''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|技思い出し|わざおもいだし}}''' ''Move Reminder'', also '''わざおしえマニア''' ''Move-Teaching Maniac''), sometimes called a '''move relearner''' by fans, is a character who can teach a {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} any [[move]] that its species is able to learn at an earlier [[level]] ([[Generation]]s {{gen|II}} to {{gen|VI}}) or at any level ([[Generation VII]]), usually in exchange for a [[Heart Scale]]. From Generation VI onward, the Move Reminder can also teach [[Egg Move]]s and special moves it had previously forgotten.

==Teachable moves==
From Generation II to VI, the Move Reminder can teach a Pokémon any move that its species is able to learn at an earlier [[level]]. In [[Generation VII]], the Move Reminder can teach a Pokémon any move it can learn via level-up, including moves it would learn at higher levels.

From [[Generation VI]] onward, any Pokémon hatched in Generation VI onward may also be taught any move it knew when it hatched; this includes [[Egg Move]]s, level-up moves bred onto a Pokémon, and {{m|Volt Tackle}} bred onto {{p|Pichu}}. Also in these games, Pokémon obtained via [[Mystery Gift]] can learn any specifically flagged move it knew when it was obtained; older events only flag {{pkmn2|event}}-exclusive moves (such as the {{DL|List of local Japanese event Pokémon distributions in Generation VI|Pokémon Center Tokyo Bay Inkay}}'s {{m|Happy Hour}}) and Egg Moves, whereas more recent distributions flag all moves the Pokémon knows when obtained except moves that do not exist in {{g|X and Y}}. Also, a special move known due to being a {{DL|DexNav|hidden Pokémon}} in {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}} or an {{DL|QR Scanner|Island Scan}} Pokémon in {{pkmn|Sun and Moon|Pokémon Sun, Moon}}, {{pkmn|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon}} can also be taught by the Move Reminder if forgotten.

The Move Reminder can only teach a Pokémon moves that its {{OBP|Pokémon|species|species}} can learn; they cannot teach moves exclusive to a pre-[[evolution]]. In particular, many Pokémon that evolve by [[evolutionary stone]] have a very restricted set of level-up moves in their evolved forms compared to their unevolved forms. For example, {{p|Eevee}} can learn {{m|Take Down}} by leveling up, but none of its evolutions can; this means that an Eevee could be taught Take Down by a Move Reminder (if it has the appropriate level prior to Generation VII), but a {{p|Vaporeon}} or other [[Eeveelution]] could not.

Certain Pokémon may also be taught moves via the Move Reminder that they would not normally learn until a later level or at all by leveling up. For example, while {{p|Lopunny}} could normally only learn {{m|Healing Wish}} at level 63 by leveling up, a Move Reminder can teach the move to Lopunny before then since it also counts as one of Lopunny's starting moves. The move {{m|Rototiller}} can also be taught to Lopunny by a Move Reminder, and this is the only way for Lopunny to learn this move. Other moves can only be taught this way for reasons such as the Pokémon not being able to be obtained at a low enough level (e.g., {{p|Zapdos}} and {{m|Ancient Power}} starting in [[Generation IV]]) or the species having more than four starting moves (e.g., {{p|Kecleon}}). Additionally, starting in Generation VI, a Pokèmon can be taught a move that it can not normally learn via level up if its previous evolution evolved into it knowing said move. For example, if a player evolves a {{p|Numel}} that knows {{m|Double-Edge}} into a {{p|Camerupt}}, that Camerupt will have access to Double-Edge if it ever forgets the move, even though it does not normally learn it.

==Restrictions==
Like all methods of teaching moves (other than [[Pokémon Day Care]]), the Move Reminder cannot overwrite [[HM]] moves.

In [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness|Pokémon XD]], if a Pokémon has four moves, the Move Reminder will not be able to teach it a move until the [[Move Deleter]] deletes one of the Pokémon's current moves.

==Locations==
While [[Generation II]] has no formal Move Reminder, in [[Pokémon Stadium 2]], after defeating the [[Elite Four]] and {{pkmn|Champion}} at the [[Gym Leader Castle]], the player will be allowed to reteach a move to one of the Pokémon that was involved in the battle.

Move Reminders can be found in the following locations:

'''Electro Ball''' (Japanese: '''エレキボール''' ''Elecball'') is a damage-dealing {{type|Electric}} [[move]] introduced in [[Generation V]].

==Effect==
Electro Ball inflicts more damage the faster the user is compared to the target. Therefore, the larger the relative difference between the user's and target's {{stat|Speed}} stat, the greater the damage. Thus, the move takes into account paralysis, boosts or drops to the either Pokémon's Speed through moves such as [[Agility]] or [[String Shot]], and items that affect Speed such as the [[Macho Brace]] and the [[Iron Ball]]. Electro Ball's power is calculated as follows:

{| class="roundy" align="left" style="background: #{{Electric color light}}; border: 3px solid #{{Electric color}}"
|- align=center
! style="{{roundytl|5px}}" | Target's Speed
! style="{{roundytr|5px}}" | Power
|- style="background:#FFF"
| More than 100%, or exactly 0
| 40
|- style="background:#FFF"
| 50.01% - 100%
| 60
|- style="background:#FFF"
| 33.34% - 50%
| 80
|- style="background:#FFF"
| 25.01% - 33.33%
| 120
|- style="background:#FFF"
| 0.01% - 25%
| 150
|}
 

Electro Ball has no effect on Pokémon with {{a|Bulletproof}}.

Electro Ball can also be used as part of a [[Contest combination|Contest Spectacular combination]], with the user gaining extra three appeal points if a certain move ({{m|Agility}}, {{m|Autotomize}}, {{m|Calm Mind}}, {{m|Charge}}, {{m|Rock Polish}} or {{m|Shell Smash}}) was used in the prior turn.

[[File:Veilstone City DP.png|thumb|300px|Veilstone City in {{2v2|Diamond|Pearl}}]]
'''Veilstone City''' (Japanese: '''トバリシティ''' ''Tobari City'') is a city in eastern [[Sinnoh]]. It is the eighth largest city in the [[Pokémon world]]. It is situated near the sea to the north, with {{rt|214|Sinnoh}} and [[Pastoria City]] to the south, and {{rt|215|Sinnoh}} to the west. It houses [[Maylene]], the Veilstone City [[Gym Leader]], along with the headquarters for [[Team Galactic]].

Veilstone is carved out of steep and rocky mountains, giving the city rock walls that project a cold atmosphere. It is fairly isolated and has little contact with other cities. Team Galactic also constructed the [[Team Galactic HQ|Galactic Warehouse]] and their headquarters, the [[Team Galactic HQ|Galactic Veilstone Building]] there. This city is also home to the Sinnoh region's [[Veilstone Department Store|department store]], much like [[Celadon City]] in [[Kanto]], [[Goldenrod City]] in [[Johto]], [[Lilycove City]] in [[Hoenn]], and {{rt|9|Unova}} in [[Unova]]. The [[Veilstone Game Corner]] also has slot machines that people can play to try to win coins to buy [[TM]]s. Veilstone is famous for its stones, including its meteorites, which can change {{p|Deoxys}} between its many forms.

In {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}, as the {{player}} leaves the [[Veilstone Gym|Gym]], {{ga|Dawn}}/{{ga|Lucas}} will be waiting outside and will tell the player that Team Galactic stole her/his [[Pokédex]]. The player has to team up with her/him to defeat two {{tc|Galactic Grunt}}s.

==Slogan==
'''''Hewn from Rock''''' (Japanese: '''{{j|いしにかこまれたくうかん}}''' ''A space surrounded by rock.'')

==Places of interest==
===Veilstone Department Store===
{{main|Veilstone Department Store}}
The Veilstone Department Store is located in the middle of Veilstone City, west of the [[Pokémon Center]]. It is the main shopping district in the city. Veilstone lacks a regular [[Poké Mart]], but its department store sells all the usual items and more. This department store is similar to the [[Celadon Department Store]], the [[Goldenrod Department Store]], and the [[Lilycove Department Store]]. The store offers a wide variety of [[item]]s on its five floors. When players enter the store, there is a woman to the left of the entrance who will give away a mask to be put in the [[Fashion Case]]. The people at the reception counter sell items commonly found in [[Poké Mart]]s. On the second floor a man behind the counter will give away the {{DL|Pokétch|Counter}} Pokétch app. Battle items and vitamins are sold here as well. [[TM]]s are sold on the third floor, while [[Secret Base]] decorations are sold on the fourth floor. Inexpensive healing items, [[Lemonade]], [[Soda Pop]], and [[Fresh Water]], can be bought on the top floor from vending machines. A basement floor, added in {{game|Platinum}}, sells [[Poffin]]s, [[Berry|Berries]], and [[Lava Cookie]]s.

===Galactic Veilstone Building===
[[File:Team Galactic HQ Pt.png|thumb|Team Galactic HQ in {{game|Platinum}}]]
{{main|Team Galactic HQ}}
The Galactic Veilstone Building is a front for what is really the Team Galactic HQ. The building is a large, multi-story building in northern Veilstone City. Along with the [[Team Galactic Eterna Building]], it is one of the main centers for [[Team Galactic]]'s operations. It housed the [[Legendary Pokémon]] {{p|Uxie}}, {{p|Azelf}}, and {{p|Mesprit}} for a brief time.

At first, the player can only roam the lobby of the first floor of the building. A locked door in the lobby can only be opened with the [[Galactic Key]]. A portion of the headquarters can also be accessed via an underground passageway behind a locked door in the Galactic Warehouse. On the top floor of the headquarters, the player will find and battle [[Cyrus]], who gives away a [[Master Ball]] on his defeat.

===Veilstone Game Corner===
{{main|Veilstone Game Corner}}
The Veilstone Game Corner is located in the southern Veilstone City near the Gym. The woman behind the counter to the left of the slots sells [[coin]]s to the player: 50 coins for {{PDollar}}1000, or 500 coins for {{PDollar}}10000. There are sixteen slot machines in the Game Corner, with four of them having people already seated at them. Each spin of the machine takes 3 coins, which are inserted by pressing the X button. Reels will start spinning either when the D-pad is pressed down or the X button is pressed again. Y stops the left reel, B stops the middle, and A stops the right. The Bonus Round occurs when a {{p|Clefairy}} pops out of the Poké Ball on the touch screen. Once the Clefairy appears, players must continue spinning the reels until they get a 100-coin bonus. The odds of getting the bonus seem to improve if the slots are activated to the beat of Clefairy's clapping. Prizes are sold in the house to the right of the Game Corner.

===Galactic Warehouse===
{{main|Team Galactic HQ}}
The Galactic Warehouse is a small storage facility found on the northwest side of Veilstone City. The warehouse is connected to the [[Team Galactic HQ]] by an underground passageway behind a locked door. The door can only be opened with the [[Storage Key]]. In Diamond and Pearl, one Galactic Grunt stays here, keeping his guard status throughout the game. In Platinum, Looker stays behind after the player and Lucas/Dawn beat the grunts and getting the Pokédex back. {{HM|02|Fly}} can be found here along with a rare [[Dusk Stone]].

===Massage Girl===
{{main|Massage Girl}}
The Massage Girl is a [[Pokémon groomer]] who lives in southern Veilstone City, in the house nearest [[Veilstone Gym|the Gym]]. Once a day, the Massage Girl massages the player's Pokémon for free and finds [[Accessory|Accessories]] for dressing up in [[Pokémon Super Contest|Pokémon Contests]]. It is said massages make the massaged Pokémon [[friendship|friendlier]]. The Massage Girl lives with her brother and a {{p|Pachirisu}}. Her boyfriend is the [[Scarf Guy]] in [[Pastoria City]], whom she keeps in contact with through mail, which she lets Pokémon deliver.

===Gift Pokémon===
In {{game|Platinum}}, the man in the house directly behind the Pokémon Center will offer the player a {{p|Porygon}} that he found.

===Meteorites===
Four meteorites can be seen on the east side of Veilstone City. If the player has any {{p|Deoxys}} in their party, they will change form when the meteorites are inspected.

===Prize Exchange===
A man in the Prize Exchange will tell the player what type {{m|Hidden Power}} will act as for any Pokémon he is shown.

===Veilstone Gym===
[[File:Veilstone Gym Pt.png|thumb|200px|right|Veilstone Gym in {{v2|Platinum}}]]
{{main|Veilstone Gym}}

The Veilstone Gym is the official [[Gym]] of Veilstone City. It is based on {{type|Fighting}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. The [[Gym Leader]] is [[Maylene]]. {{pkmn|Trainer}}s who defeat her receive the {{Badge|Cobble}}. In {{2v2|Diamond|Pearl}}, Veilstone Gym is a dojo made up of several smaller rooms intersected with mobile walls. Trainers wait in the tiny cubicles. To get to Maylene, the walls must be shifted in and out of the cubicles so that the empty spaces in the walls line up with each other and a path is clear. Maylene's students are four brothers who call themselves the "Karate Quads" and insist they fight "for LOVE!" "for COURAGE!" "for HOPE!" and "for TEARS!". In {{v2|Platinum}}, the player must push around {{wp|punching bag}}s, in order to knock over obstacles in the player's path. After [[Gym Leader|Leader]] [[Maylene]] is defeated, she will give the player the {{Badge|Cobble}}, {{TM|60|Drain Punch}}, and the ability to use {{m|Fly}} outside of battle.

==Demographics==
===Pokémon Diamond and Pearl===
The population of Veilstone City is 77 people, only ten people behind [[Jubilife City]], making it the third largest city in [[Sinnoh]].

===Pokémon Platinum===
The population of Veilstone City increased to 82 people, making it the second largest city in Sinnoh.

==In the anime==
[[File:Veilstone City anime.png|thumb|left|250px|Veilstone City in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]
In the {{pkmn|anime}}, Veilstone City is the [[hometown]] of [[Paul]] and his brother [[Reggie]]. The city is said to have been built around meteorites which are situated near the center of the city. In the games, the meteorites are on the far right of the city, not in the center.

Veilstone City first appeared in ''[[DP066|Lost Leader Strategy!]]'', where {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} met up with [[Maylene]], the local [[Gym Leader]], and Reggie, a {{tc|Pokémon Breeder}} who looks after {{cat|Paul's Pokémon}}. It was revealed that Paul had challenged Maylene to a [[Gym]] {{pkmn|battle}} and, upon defeating her, said she was the weakest Gym Leader he had ever battled. This left Maylene very upset and made her doubt herself, something which angered her {{TP|Maylene|Lucario}} and worried her assistant [[Connally]].

{{an|Dawn}}, coming from two consecutive losses in the [[Appeal|Performance Stage]] of the [[Hearthome City]] and [[Solaceon Town]] [[Pokémon Contest]]s, could relate to Maylene's doubts and fears. The two became friends and spent an afternoon chatting about their insecurities. Meanwhile, Ash and {{an|Brock}} went to Reggie's house, where Ash had a battle with Reggie and won. At the end of the day, Dawn announced her intention of challenging Maylene to an official Gym battle.

[[File:Ash Cobble Badge.png|thumb|220px|Ash holding the Cobble Badge]]
In ''[[DP067|Crossing the Battle Line!]]'', Reggie taught [[Ash's Staravia]] the [[move]] {{m|Brave Bird}} and Dawn battled Maylene at the [[Veilstone Gym]]. Despite making use of her [[Contest Battle]] techniques to confuse Maylene, Dawn was unable to defeat her. However, Maylene thanked Dawn for helping her and then accepted Ash's request for a Gym battle, which took place in ''[[DP068|A Triple Fighting Chance!]]''. Ash was also unable to defeat Maylene and their battle ended in a draw, but Maylene decided to give Ash the {{Badge|Cobble}} as she recognized his skills as a {{pkmn|Trainer}}.

In ''[[DP069|Enter Galactic!]]'', Reggie led the group to a field full of ancient meteorites that are considered the guardians of the city. [[Saturn]], one of [[Team Galactic]]'s {{tc|Commander}}s, arrived in Veilstone City and, together with several {{tc|Galactic Grunt}}s, attempted to steal the meteorites. They sent magnetic waves from the [[Team Galactic HQ|Galactic Veilstone Building]], disrupting everything from the communications grid to the medical equipment at the [[Pokémon Center]], to operate without being noticed. However, their plans were foiled by Ash, Dawn, Brock, Reggie, and Maylene.

==In the manga==
===In the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga===
In the {{chap|Diamond & Pearl}}, {{adv|Diamond}}, {{adv|Pearl}} and {{adv|Platinum}} visited Veilstone City, though only because the alternative path to [[Mt. Coronet]] from [[Solaceon Town]] was blocked by a group of {{p|Psyduck}}. Upon arriving, Platinum mistook the city's Game Corner for a hotel, and ended up hooked on the slots. She did, however, earn enough Coins to exchange for a [[Zoom Lens]]. When the trio tried out the item for the first time using [[Chimler]], it fired a precise shot which caught the attention of [[Maylene]], the city's [[Gym Leader]]. Maylene accepted the trio's challenge, and also allowed Diamond and Pearl in the Gym building. During the battle, Platinum discovered that her Pokédex went missing. However, she had an idea of where it might be, and sent Diamond to look for it, without letting Pearl know.

After winning the Gym battle, Platinum, along with Pearl, started to make their way to a warehouse in which Diamond had found Platinum's Pokédex. However, something then ambushed Platinum from behind. They were revealed to be Platinum's real bodyguards, [[Paka and Uji]], who placed their client inside the city's Department Store before rushing back out to face a swarm of {{tc|Galactic Grunt}}s. They bumped into Diamond and Pearl, and, after clearing up initial misunderstandings, began to work together to fend off the grunts. {{tc|Commander}} [[Saturn]], seeing the lack of progress made by the grunts, took matters into his own hands and fired a beam from a mysterious device to strike Paka and Uji, who slowly disappeared from Diamond and Pearl's sight.

The [[Galactic HQ]] at Veilstone City was where Diamond, Pearl and Platinum eventually reunited after splitting up at [[Canalave City]]. When faced with the [[Advanced level Grunt]] once more, the trio sacrificed their [[Pokédex]]es in order to free the captured [[Lake guardians]]. In the {{chap|Platinum}}, [[Cynthia]] returned to Veilstone, where she had lost to [[Cyrus]] during the previous arc. Under [[Professor Carolina|her grandmother's]] tutelage, Cynthia mastered her {{p|Garchomp}}'s use of {{m|Draco Meteor}}.

==Trivia==
* On the way to Veilstone Gym, the player will run into Professor Rowan's assistant. If the player is playing as Lucas, Dawn will respond that she has been shopping at the department store. Conversely, if the player is playing as Dawn, Lucas will respond that he has been playing at the Game Corner.
* In the Japanese version of {{game|Platinum}}, there is an [[Non-player character|NPC]] who speaks to the player in English. He is next to the pillar where {{m|Rock Climb}} can be used. In the English version, the NPC speaks in French instead. In the Spanish version, he once again speaks in English. He basically asks whether the player likes Pokémon or not and responds positively or negatively, based on whether the player says "yes" or "no". In the English versions, if the player says "Yes," he says in French, "Me too! It's great!", and if the player says "No," he says, "I cannot believe you... one only has to look at you!"
* The clown that gives the player the [[Coin Case]] says the famous Internet phrase, "A winner is you," provided that the player answers correctly to his question.
* Much like the shop in {{OBP|Two Island|town}}, the Veilstone Department Store's basement has Rage Candy Bars for sale. Like in the Sevii Islands, the shop is completely sold out, and the item cannot be bought.
** The mention of this item in both games fueled much speculation of eventual remakes of {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}, where it was originally introduced. This has come true with {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, though, as the Rage Candy Bar is not programmed into its predecessors, it appears as a Key Item to be traded for TM64 to an NPC in the underground path between Route 5 and 6.
* Two important [[Non-player character|NPC]]s appear in Veilstone City post-Elite Four in Pokémon Platinum. [[Professor Rowan]] will appear in the basement floor of the department store, while [[Looker]] will appear in the Game Corner (after the Stark Mountain story arc).
* Veilstone City is similar to [[Goldenrod City]] in [[Johto]] in several aspects.
** Both are where the third Gyms of their regions are located (in {{2v2|Diamond|Pearl}}; it is the fourth Gym in {{v2|Platinum}}).
** Both have a [[Goldenrod Department Store|Department Store]] and a [[Goldenrod Game Corner|Game Corner]].
** Both of their Gym Leaders are female, have pink hair and eyes and, in the anime, have been shown to have a Pokémon that stays out of its Poké Ball on a regular basis ({{p|Clefairy}} for [[Whitney]] and {{TP|Maylene|Lucario}} for [[Maylene]]).

'''Cerulean City''' (Japanese: '''ハナダシティ''' ''Hanada City'') is a seaside city located in northern [[Kanto]]. It is situated near a sea inlet to the north, with [[Saffron City]] to the south, and [[Mt. Moon]] to the west. It is home to [[Misty]], the Cerulean City [[Gym Leader]].

The city is one of only two cities in [[Kanto]] to have four different [[route]]s enter the city, the other being [[Saffron City]]. Cerulean is a mid-sized city with a few attractions, including the [[Miracle Cycle|Bike Shop]] and the [[Berry Powder]] man.

==Slogan==
===Generations I-III===
'''''A Mysterious, Blue Aura Surrounds It''''' (Japanese: '''ハナダは　みずいろ　しんぴのいろ''' ''Hanada is the color of aqua mysteries.'')

===Generation IV===
'''''The Floral Lagoon City''''' (Japanese: '''はなさく　みずの　まち''' ''The town of bursting water.'')

==Places of interest==
===Bike Shop===
[[File:Miracle Cycle FRLG inside.png|thumb|200px|The Bike Shop in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}]]
{{main|Miracle Cycle}}

In the [[Generation I]] games and {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, the Bike Shop sells Bicycles produced by the company. Designs range from a plain city bike to a fast mountain bike; however, the {{player}} can only ever get one: the [[Bicycle]]. It can be bought for {{PDollar}}1,000,000 or exchanged for a [[Bike Voucher]]. As only {{PDollar}}999,999 can be held at maximum, there is no way for the player to obtain a Bicycle without a Bike Voucher. The [[Pokémon Fan Club Chairman]] in [[Vermilion City]] will hand over his Bike Voucher if the player listens to him talk about his {{p|Rapidash}}.

In [[Generation II]], the shop is closed because the owner decided to move the shop to [[Goldenrod City]] in the [[Johto]] region. In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, however, the shop in [[Kanto]] is also open, although nothing is obtainable inside. The manager mentions that since all the bicycles have been shipped to Johto for sale, all he has left to sell are inflatable tubes. The ''That Town, These People'' radio show profile of Cerulean City mentions this as well.

The name "Miracle Cycle" only appears in the Japanese {{pkmn|games}}. In the English versions, the Miracle Cycle Shops are just called "Bike Shops" and no mention of Miracle Cycle is made at all.

===Cerulean Cave===
{{main|Cerulean Cave}}
On the outskirts of Cerulean City lies Cerulean Cave, also known as the Unknown Dungeon. It is said to be home to "horribly strong {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}". The player can capture the [[level]] 70 {{p|Mewtwo}} in the [[Generation]] {{gen|I}}, {{gen|III}}, and {{gen|IV}} games. Only {{pkmn|Trainer}}s who compete and win in the [[Pokémon League]] at [[Indigo Plateau]] may enter due to the strength of the Pokémon in the cave. Mewtwo lies at the end of the cave, the only one of its species in the game.

Another addition in {{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}} is that Trainers are now required to further prove themselves before entering the cave by completing the quest on the [[Sevii Islands]] and restoring the Network Machine of the [[Pokémon Network Center]] to operational status. This stipulation may or may not have been added due to the addition of {{p|Wobbuffet}} to the cave's selection of wild Pokémon, and the old set of requirements that would have allowed players to enter the cave before obtaining the National Pokédex.

In Generation II, the Dungeon has collapsed, but Mewtwo's [[Berserk Gene]] has been left behind. In HeartGold and SoulSilver, however, the cave is still open. The [[Pokégear]] map mentions that it once collapsed but was rebuilt, and Mewtwo can still be found inside.

===Cerulean Gym===
{{main|Cerulean Gym}}
[[File:Cerulean Gym FRLG.png|thumb|200px|Cerulean Gym in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}]]
The Cerulean Gym is the official [[Gym]] of Cerulean City. It is based on {{type|Water}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. The [[Gym Leader]] is [[Misty]]. {{pkmn|Trainer}}s who defeat her will receive the {{Badge|Cascade}}. Other known Gym members include {{tc|Swimmer}} Briana, Swimmer Parker, Swimmer Diana, Swimmer Luis, and {{tc|Picnicker}} Diana. The Cerulean Gym is designed like an indoor swimming pool, with platforms above the water for the player to walk on. There are no puzzles to solve in this Gym.

===Berry Powder man===
In Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen, there is a man in a cottage in the northern part of town who concocts a variety of medicines from [[Berry Powder]] and will exchange Berry Powder for [[herbal medicine]] and [[vitamin]]s. When he is first visited, he gives the player the [[Powder Jar]], and will ask the player to make some Berry Powder from the new machine that crushes Berries in the [[Pokémon Center]] upstairs. There is also a sign on his wall that keeps a record of pressing-speed ranking the player achieves.

{{shopfooter}}

===Gym Badge man===
In Generations I and III, there is a man in a cottage in the northwest corner of the city who will explain exactly what the effects are for each of the eight {{DL|Badge|Indigo League}} [[Badge|Gym Badges]]. He also has a small backyard, where a [[Rare Candy]] can be found hidden among the flowers.

===Dontae/Melanie's house===
There is a residential house located to the west of the Pokémon Center.

In Pokémon Red, Blue, Gold, Silver, Crystal, FireRed, LeafGreen, HeartGold, and SoulSilver, this house belongs to Dontae and his wife. In Generation I and III, Dontae will offer to trade the player his {{p|Jynx}} for their {{p|Poliwhirl}}. In Generation II and IV, he is satisfied with the Pokémon he has received from trades over the years.

In Pokémon Yellow, this house belongs to [[Melanie]]. She is taking care of an {{p|Oddish}}, {{p|Sandshrew}}, and {{p|Bulbasaur}}. If the player's [[friendship]] with the [[Red's Pikachu (game)|starter Pikachu]] is 147 or higher, she will offer to give the player her Bulbasaur.

===Burgled house===
In Generations I and III, a {{tc|Team Rocket Grunt}} stole {{TM|28|Dig}} from its owner, leaving the house a mess. After defeating the Grunt, the player will receive the [[TM]] from him. The owner then says that since the TM was stolen, he'll find a way of teaching Dig to {{p|Diglett}} without a TM.

The house is initially inaccessible because a Cerulean {{tc|Police Officer}} ([[Officer Jenny]] in {{v2|Yellow}}) blocks the door. The officer will only move aside from the door after the player talks to [[Bill]] at his [[Sea Cottage]] on {{rt|25|Kanto}}.

In Generations II and IV, the man is actively fighting against robbers so the situation that occurred to him and his wife three years prior does not happen again. When he learns about the Team Rocket Grunt who stole the [[Machine Part]], he gets upset and claims that he won't even reconsider not reporting the Team Rocket Grunt if he turns out to be the same thief from three years ago.

A notice outside the house in [[Generation II]] and {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}} reads:

{{sign|DPtip|header}}
{{sign|DPtip|There's a notice here...}}
{{sign|DPtip|Stamp out thievery and make the city}}
{{sign|DPtip|a friendlier, more cheerful place!}}
{{sign|DPtip|Cerulean Police}}
{{sign|DPtip|footer}}

==Demographics==
===Pokémon Red, Blue, and Yellow===
In {{game2|Red|Blue|Yellow}}, the population of Cerulean City is 27.

===Pokémon Gold, Silver, and Crystal===
In {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}, the population of Cerulean City is 24. The decrease in population is due to the Bike Shop moving to Goldenrod City.

===Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen===
In {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, the population of Cerulean City is 32.

===Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver===
In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, the population of Cerulean City is 33, having increased by one since {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}.

==In the spin-off games==
===In Pokémon Pinball===
In {{g|Pinball}}, Cerulean City appears on the Red and Blue tables; catchable Pokémon include {{p|Caterpie}}, {{p|Oddish}}, {{p|Meowth}}, {{p|Psyduck}}, {{p|Mankey}}, {{p|Abra}}, {{p|Bellsprout}}, {{p|Krabby}}, {{p|Goldeen}} and {{p|Jynx}}.

==In the anime==
===In the main series===
[[File:Cerulean City anime.png|thumb|250px|Cerulean City in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]
Cerulean City first appeared in ''[[EP007|The Water Flowers of Cerulean City]]'', where {{Ash}} decided to challenge the Cerulean Gym. At the Gym, he found out that {{Gary}} and the other two Trainers from [[Pallet Town]] had already beaten the Gym. As their only remaining Pokémon after those challengers was a {{p|Goldeen}}, [[the Sensational Sisters]] were ready to give Ash the {{badge|Cascade}} without a battle, until {{an|Misty}} appeared, revealing herself to be one of the Cerulean [[Gym Leader]]s as well. Ash and Misty started a Gym battle, but just when Ash was about to win, {{TRT}} busted their way into Gym, interrupting the battle. After Team Rocket had been defeated, the Sensational Sisters decided to give Ash the Cascade Badge as thanks for saving the Gym.

Cerulean City made a reappearance in ''[[EP061|The Misty Mermaid]]'', where Misty reluctantly agreed to help her sisters in a new underwater ballet performance. However, in the middle of the act, Team Rocket appeared again, once more trying to steal the Gym's Pokémon. A battle between Ash and company and Team Rocket ensued, during which Cerulean Gym's {{p|Seel}} evolved into a {{OBP|Dewgong|Cerulean Gym}}. Once the situation was solved and Ash and company prepared to leave, Misty left her {{TP|Misty|Horsea}} and {{TP|Misty|Starmie}} at the Gym, the latter due to her sisters' request.

Cerulean City was also featured in the [[Pokémon Chronicles]] episodes ''[[SS002|Cerulean Blues]]'', ''[[SS005|The Blue Badge of Courage]]'', ''[[SS011|A Date With Delcatty]]'', and ''[[SS016|Luvdisc is a Many Splendored Thing!]]'', which mostly focused on the Cerulean Gym and Misty. In ''A Date With Delcatty'', Cerulean City is revealed to have a container port, baseball stadium, and a lighthouse.

Cerulean City was visited another time by the end of ''[[SM042|Alola, Kanto!]]'' by Ash, {{ashcl}}, Misty, and {{an|Brock}}, along with {{an|Professor Oak}}. In the [[SM043|following episode]], the city hosted Gym battles between Brock and {{an|Kiawe}}, as well as Ash and Misty.

===In Pokémon Origins===
Cerulean City was seen briefly in ''[[PO02|File 2: Cubone]]'', where {{OBP|Red|Origins}} recalled having visited the city during his journey. During his visit, he managed to retrieve the stolen [[TM]] for {{m|Dig}} from a member of [[Team Rocket]] and earn the {{badge|Cascade}} by defeating Misty at the Cerulean Gym.
{{-}}

==In the manga==
[[File:Cerulean City Adventures.png|thumb|250px|Cerulean City in Pokémon Adventures]]
===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
Cerulean City was first featured in ''[[PS008|Suddenly Starmie]]'' as the place where [[Misty]]'s mansion and the [[Cerulean Gym]] are located. Its streets surround a canal full of boats, resembling {{wp|Venice}}. {{adv|Red}} and Misty trained at the Gym together for a while in order to be able to fight [[Team Rocket]] more effectively.

In the {{chap|Yellow}}, Cerulean City was attacked by an army of {{t|Ghost}} Pokémon, sent there by [[Agatha]]. Misty, while protecting her Gym, found out that the [[Elite Four]] were after her Badge. After {{adv|Yellow}} defeated [[Lance]] at [[Cerise Island]], the Ghost army lost all of its strength.

===In the Pokémon Zensho manga===
Cerulean City appeared in ''[[PZ03|Cerulean City]]'', where {{zensho|Satoshi}} visited the city. Shortly after his arrival, he saved the bike shop from a {{tc|Team Rocket Grunt}}, before heading to the Gym. However, before Satoshi could even properly start a battle with Misty, another Team Rocket Grunt attacked the Gym with a {{p|Gyarados}}. Satoshi defeated the Gyarados, receiving a {{badge|Cascade}} from Misty as thanks.
{{-}}

==Trivia==
[[File:Cerulean City Slowbro SonicBoom FRLG.png|thumb|200px|The girl commanding her Slowbro to use SonicBoom in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}]]
* In [[Generation]]s {{gen|II}} and {{gen|IV}}, a {{tc|School Kid}} with an Itemfinder{{sup/2|GSC}}/[[Dowsing Machine|Dowsing MCHN]]{{sup/4|HGSS}} hints at an item outside of [[Cerulean Cave]]. However, his machine will keep responding even after the player has picked up the item.
* The [[Badge|Gym Badge]] man is the only character in [[Generation III]] to define the {{Badge|Marsh}} and {{Badge|Volcano}} as having the effect of allowing the {{player}} to use the post-[[Generation I]] [[HM]] moves {{m|Rock Smash}} and {{m|Waterfall}} outside of battle, since [[Sabrina]] and [[Blaine]] do not explain it themselves.
* In {{game|Red and Blue|s}} and [[Generation III]], when talked to, a girl will command her {{p|Slowbro}} to use {{m|Withdraw}} or {{m|Sonic Boom|SonicBoom}}, or to punch. However, while Slowbro learns Withdraw by leveling up and can be taught a {{cat|Punching moves|punching move}}, Slowbro is unable to learn SonicBoom by any legitimate means.
** In {{game|Yellow}}, the girl owns an {{p|Electrode}} instead, commanding it to use either {{m|Tackle}}, SonicBoom, or {{m|Swift}}, all being moves that Electrode can learn.
*In Generation II, this city shares its music with Viridian, Pewter, and Saffron instead of with Fuchsia City like in all other games.

'''Gardevoir''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''サーナイト''' ''Sirnight'') is a dual-type {{2t|Psychic|Fairy}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation III]]. Prior to [[Generation VI]], it was a pure {{type|Psychic}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Kirlia}} starting at [[level]] 30. It is one of {{p|Ralts}}'s final forms, the other being {{p|Gallade}}. It can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into '''Mega Gardevoir''' using the {{DL|Mega Stone|Gardevoirite}}.

==Biology==
Gardevoir is a bipedal, humanoid Pokémon whose body resembles a flowing gown. Most of its body is white, but its hair, arms, and the underside of its gown are green. Its hair curls over its face and down the sides of its head. Behind its red eyes are short spikes, resembling a masquerade mask. It has long arms with three fingers on each hand and slender white legs. A red, fin-like horn extends from its chest, and a shorter, more rounded horn extends from the back. A band of green on its chest extends to the center of the front horn and connects to its sleeve-like arms.

As Mega Gardevoir, it turns almost completely white; only its hair remains green. Its gown becomes longer and wider, resembling a bridal gown. The forearms are slightly thicker with a pointed extension above the elbow. Its facial spikes are larger and now curl upwards. In contrast, its hair is now shorter and more tightly curled. There are now two horns in the center of its chest, extending to either side. These horns are said to be a physical manifestation of this Pokémon's heart, and it is able to use tremendous psychic power now that it is open.<ref>http://www.pokemonxy.com/en-us/pokemon/mega_pokemon/#Gardevoir</ref>

Gardevoir is able to see the future using its psychic powers. Additionally, it is able to create small black holes, distort dimensions, and support itself without feeling the pull of gravity. Its power reaches its peak when protecting its {{pkmn|Trainer}}, whom it will protect with its life. This Pokémon inhabits {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Urban Pokémon|urban areas}}.

It's a brave Pokémon who will risk its own life to protect its trainer. It uses the ability Synchronize to pass on status problems like paralysis, poison, and burns to the foe."''

===[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U]]===
Gardevoir reappears as a Poké Ball summon in both versions of the fourth iteration of the series. Once again, it will use Reflect to bounce off projectiles.

====Trophy information====
'''NA''': ''Gardevoir is a Psychic/Fairy-type Pokémon, bearing an elegant appearance that male and female Gardevoir share. In Smash Bros., it uses Reflect to turn back projectiles and items launched toward it. Helpfully, it won't affect any of the shots from the player who summoned it. Take advantage of this!''

'''PAL''': ''This Psychic- and Fairy-type may look like a woman in a long dress, but there are both male and female Gardevoir out there! If you get one in battle, it'll use Reflect, creating a barrier that stops projectiles from hitting you and your allies. It won't block any of your shots, though, so feel free to fire all the projectiles you like! ''

* Gardevoir's {{stat|Attack}} and {{stat|Special Attack}} are the reverse of {{p|Gallade}}'s.

===Origin===
Gardevoir resembles a {{wp|principal dancer}}. Its exaggerated head with minimal facial expression and an overall frail, featureless physique could also be attributed to ''anesama ningyou'', a style of traditional Japanese {{wp|paper doll}}. Its protective nature over its Trainer may suggest that it is based on a {{wp|guardian angel}}, though its ghost-like characteristics could also suggest that it is based on {{wp|ghosts}} that refuse to leave the physical world.

====Name origin====
Gardevoir may be a combination of ''garde'' (French for ''guard'') and ''devoir'' (French for ''duty''). It may also be a combination of ''garder'' (French verb for ''to keep'') and ''voir'' (French verb for ''to see''), reflected in its Pokédex data, which explains how Gardevoir will protect its Trainer even at the cost of its own life and that Gardevoir has the ability to see into the future.

Sirnight may be taken to mean さあ、ナイト ''saa, naito'' ("come, knight") or ''Sir Knight''.
