'''Wallace''' (Japanese: '''ミクリ''' ''Mikuri'') is a {{pkmn|Master}} {{type|Water}} {{pkmn|Trainer}}. In the original {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}, as well as the remakes {{pkmn|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, he is the [[Gym Leader]] of [[Sootopolis City]]'s [[Gym]], known officially as the [[Sootopolis Gym]], wielding the {{Badge|Rain}}. In {{v2|Emerald}}, he becomes {{pkmn|Champion}} of the [[Elite Four]] after passing down the Gym to [[Juan]], his former instructor. He is apparently close to [[Steven Stone]], and assists him in the [[Cave of Origin]] quest in Ruby, Sapphire, Omega Ruby, and Alpha Sapphire. He is the only character in the games to have the [[Trainer class]] '''Sootopolitan''' (Japanese: '''ルネのたみ''').

==In the games==
In Ruby, Sapphire, Omega Ruby, and Alpha Sapphire, he runs the Sootopolis City Gym where he gives out the Rain Badge as well as {{TM|03|Water Pulse}}{{sup/3|RS}} or {{HM|05|Waterfall}}{{sup/6|ORAS}}. In Emerald, the storyline was revised so that he passes down the Gym to his mentor, and Wallace instead maintains a position as the Champion of the Elite Four. {{Steven}}, who was the Champion in the previous versions, is instead a legendary wandering Trainer.

In [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire]], Wallace occasionally enters [[Pokémon Contest Spectacular]]s. The {{player}} may compete against him in the [[Rank (Contest)|Master Rank]] of the [[Beautiful (condition)|Beauty category]] after entering the [[Pokémon League]]'s [[Hall of Fame]].

* If talked to again
:''"You must go together with your <sc>Red Orb</sc>{{sup/3|R}}/<sc>Blue Orb</sc>{{sup/3|S}}. You must go regardless of what awaits you inside the <sc>Cave</sc>…"''

=====[[Sootopolis Gym]]=====
* Before battle
:''"Allow me to formally introduce myself. I am <sc>Wallace</sc>. The <sc>Gym Leader</sc> of <sc>Sootopolis</sc>. There's something about you… A difference in your demeanor. I think I sense that in you. What happened inside the <sc>Cave of Origin</sc>, and what you did, I will likely learn through our upcoming battle. Now, show me. Show me the power you wield with your <sc>Pokémon</sc>. And I, in turn, shall present you with a performance of illusions in water by me and my <sc>Pokémon</sc>!"''

* Being defeated
:''"Bravo. I realize now your authenticity and magnificence as a <sc>Pokémon Trainer</sc>. I find much joy in having met you and your <sc>Pokémon</sc>. You have proven yourself worthy of the <sc>Rain Badge</sc>. Accept it."''

* After being defeated
:''"Having that <sc>Badge</sc> assures you full obedience of all your <sc>Pokémon</sc> to every command you make. The <sc>Badge</sc> also allows the use of the [[HM]] move <sc>{{m|Waterfall}}</sc> to scale walls of cascading water. And, so you never forget the battle we shared, take this…"''
:''"The [[TM]] I handed you contains <sc>{{m|Water Pulse}}</sc>. In use, it will occasionally confuse the target with ultrasonic waves."''

* If talked to once again and player skipped Fortree Gym
:''"There remains but one <sc>Badge</sc> to obtain in <sc>Hoenn</sc>. If you wish to challenge the <sc>Pokémon League</sc>, you must obtain the last <sc>Badge</sc> from the <sc>Gym</sc> in <sc>Fortree</sc>

* If all 8 Badges are collected
:''"Trainers who have gathered all the Gym Badges of Hoenn should make way for the ultimate destination. The Pokémon League. Travel to the easternmost reaches of Hoenn, to the island Ever Grande. The Pokémon League is there."''

===={{game|Emerald}}====
=====[[Cave of Origin]]=====
:''"Ah, so you are <{{player}}>? I've heard tales of your exploits. My name is <sc>Wallace</sc>. I was [[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire|once]] the <sc>Gym Leader</sc> of <sc>Sootopolis</sc>, but something came up. So now, I've entrusted my mentor <sc>Juan</sc> with the <sc>Gym</sc>'s operation. … … … … … … … … … … … … <sc>Groudon</sc> and <sc>Kyogre</sc>, the two <sc>Pokémon</sc> wreaking havoc here, are considered to be super-ancient <sc>Pokémon</sc>. But there aren't just two super-ancient <sc>Pokémon</sc>. There is one more somewhere. Somewhere, there is a super-ancient <sc>Pokémon</sc> named <sc>Rayquaza</sc>. It's said that it was <sc>Rayquaza</sc> that becalmed the two combatants in the distant past. But even I have no clue as to <sc>Rayquaza</sc>'s wherabouts…"''
:''"<Player>, do you perhaps know where <sc>Rayquaza</sc> is now? If you do, please tell me."''
::'''Cave of Origin''': ''"The <sc>Cave of Origin</sc>? But that's right here! I need you to do better than that! Please, I need you to think about where <sc>Rayquaza</sc> might be right now."''
::'''Mt. Pyre''': "''<sc>Mt. Pyre</sc>? But when I met the old lady there earlier, she made no mention of it. I very much doubt that the old lady would try to hide something from me… <player>, could you think about this more carefully for me?"''
::'''Sky Pillar''': ''"The <sc>Sky Pillar</sc>? That's it! It must be the <sc>Sky Pillar</sc>! <player>, there's no a moment to lose! We'll head to the <sc>Sky Pillar</sc> right away!"''
::'''Don't remember''': "''Huh? You don't remember? Hmm… That's a problem… Can't you remember somehow?"''

=====[[Sootopolis City]]=====
* After finding the Sky Pillar, before solving crisis
:''"Oh? <player>? Haven't you scaled the <sc>Sky Pillar</sc> yet? I'm sure that you can make it to the top of the <sc>Sky Pillar</sc>…
* After solving crisis
:''"<player>… The leaders of <sc>Team Magma</sc> and <sc>Aqua</sc>, I don't think they meant harm. It wouldn't hurt to hear what they have to say for themselves."''
* After solving crisis and talking to both Archie and Maxie.
:''"<player>… My eyes didn't deceive me. Thanks to your help, <sc>Sootopolis</sc>… No, all of <sc>Hoenn</sc> was saved. On behalf of the people, I thank you. This is a gift from me. Please accept it. That <sc>Hidden Machine</sc> contains <sc>{{m|Waterfall}}</sc>. If you have the <sc>Rain Badge</sc>, a <sc>Pokémon</sc> that has learned that HM move can force its way up waterfalls. And where does one get the <sc>Rain Badge</sc>? You know, don't you? That's right! You have to beat the <sc>Sootopolis Gym Leader</sc>. When you're all set to go, step through that door."''
* If talked to again
:''"I'm sure that you will be dazzled by my mentor's breathtakingly elegant battle style."''

=====[[Sky Pillar]]=====
:"''Oh, my, I'm terribly sorry! In my haste, I didn't noticed that I'd left you behind! I've opened the locked door of <sc>Sky Pillar</sc>. <player>, let's be on our way!"''
:"''It's an earthquake! There's not a moment to waste! We've got to hurry!"''
:"''Hmm… The situation is getting worse… This isn't good… The weather distortion is spreading even here… <player>. <sc>Rayquaza</sc> should be farther up from here. I'm worried about <sc>Sootopolis</sc>. I've got to go back. Everything is in your hands now. Don't fail us!"''

=====[[Ever Grande City]]=====
* Before battle
:''"Welcome, <player>. That incident in <sc>Sootopolis City</sc>… That was superb work, putting an end to that crisis all by yourself. Oops! It wouldn't be fair to say that you alone ended the crisis. You overcame that difficult situation by working as one with your <sc>Pokémon</sc>. We <sc>Trainers</sc> raise <sc>Pokémon</sc> by giving them items and by teaching them new techniques for battle. But we ourselves also learn many things from <sc>Pokémon</sc>. And this is where your achievements are put to the test against what others like you have achieved. Now! Who can most elegantly dance with their <sc>Pokémon</sc> in <sc>Hoenn</sc>? Show me right here and now!"''

* Being defeated
:''"I, the <sc>Champion</sc>, fall in defeat… That was wonderful work. You were elegant, infuriatingly so. And yet it was utterly glorious! Kudos to you, <player>! You are a truly noble <sc>Pokémon Trainer</sc>!"''

* After being defeated
:''"The <sc>Pokémon</sc> you sent into battle… At times they danced like a spring breeze, and at times they struck like lightning. It was with light, yet surefooted, elegance that you led your <sc>Pokémon</sc>. Even I felt bedazzled by your masterful performance! You now stand at the glorious peak of the <sc>Pokémon League</sc>. I now proclaim you to be the new <sc>Hoenn</sc> region…"''
:''"<Player>! No, let me rephrase that properly. The new <sc>Champion</sc>! Come with me."''
:''"I'm sorry, but… From here on, only those <sc>Trainers</sc> who have become <sc>Champions</sc> may enter. You'll have to wait outside with <sc>[[Professor Birch|Prof. Birch]]</sc>."''

* [[Hall of Fame]]
:''"This room… This is where we keep records of <sc>Pokémon</sc> that prevailed through harsh battles. It is here that the <sc>League Champions</sc> are honored."''

Yes, it is a mighty move… And yet it also has a certain elegance and can sometimes cause opponents to flinch. Now, with the power of the Rain Badge, you will become able to use this HM move, Waterfall, to scale walls of cascading water. Many paths are open to you now. One path would take you to the Pokémon League. It is the goal that all Trainers in Hoenn aspire to reach after obtaining all eight Gym Badges. If that is the path you chose, then you must find your way to the island said to be the most remote in Hoenn: {{color|00BFFF|Ever Grande}}. But if it is a different path you seek, and you would rather pursue Pokémon and a completed Pokédex… The rumors that reach me on the wind whisper that Professor Birch in {{color2|00BFFF|Littleroot Town|Littleroot}} has created a more powerful Pokédex. Visit him, obtain this new technology, and I have little doubt you will encounter more diverse Pokémon than ever before. …I will hope that a bright future waits for you, whatever path it is you choose."''

:''"Welcome again to Sootopolis, our new {{pkmn|Champion}}, <player>. Steven has told me everything. Do you wish to go to the Sky Pillar? It is true the cave that leads to the Sky Pillar can only be opened by the hand of someone descended from the ancient people of Sootopolis…as, indeed, am I. Or by one of the [[Draconid people|Draconids]], who have also lived in Hoenn since ancient times… The Sky Pillar is in fact an altar built for the ascension of Rayquaza—that Legendary Pokémon long said to be the protector of the Hoenn region. Only the ancient Draconid people know how to summon Rayquaza to the Sky Pillar. Steven has told me of the woman [[Zinnia]]. She must be trying to revive Rayquaza for some purpose. I shall go first to the Sky Pillar. When your preparations are complete, come join me.

Here and now. Prove to me that your power is great enough to face what lies ahead! Now tell me… Are you prepared?"''
::'''No''': ''"I see. I will wait. Prepare yourself."''
::'''Yes''': ''"Then let us begin… Champion of Hoenn. You, who should exhibit the most graceful art in battle with your Pokémon… I would have you show me your true strength!"''

* After being defeated
:''"As I have come to expect from you, <player>… You are an excellent Pokémon Trainer. The Pokémon that you sent out in that battle… At times dancing as lightly as an elusive spring breeze… Yet striking with the sudden surety of lightning from the blue. Watching you command the battle with such ease and grace… Even I might succumb to your charm. Now go forth. Find the truth that you seek. As one of the ancient people of Sootopolis, I cannot intrude upon this holy place. I will return to Sootopolis for now and try to lay plans in case the worst should come to pass despite all our efforts. I'm sorry that we always seem to be leaving the fate of all the world in your hands. Yet there it lies once again. Good luck to you, young Champion!"''

=====Any [[Contest Hall]]=====
* After defeating [[Lisia]] in a [[Rank (Contest)|Master Rank]] {{pkmn|Contest}}
:''"No introductions necessary, Lisia. I would say that <player> and I… know each other quite well already.
:''"{{tt|He|If the player is a boy}}/{{tt|She|If the player is a girl}} defeated me when we battled. And if that were not enough, {{tt|he|If the player is a boy}}/{{tt|she|If the player is a girl}} is also a great Trainer who carried out splendid deeds for Hoenn. That is who <player> is."''
:''"You appear to be well."''
:''"Lisia has been so enraptured by the contest spectacles that I felt compelled to see them for myself. It has been many years since I last took part in the likes of a contest… And here I find you once more. It is not only in my own Gym that you have defeated me, but you have bested me in contests as well. It seems I still have much to learn…"''
:''"I suppose you're right."''
:''"<player>, I'm sure you've grown to understand this already. No matter whether you stand in a Pokémon Gym or a Contest Hall, a Trainer who holds to {{tt|his|If the player is a boy}}/{{tt|her|If the player is a girl}} belief in the Pokémon beside {{tt|him|If the player is a boy}}/{{tt|her|If the player is a girl}}… The Pokémon that battles on, believing in the Trainer with whom it stands together… The settings may differ, but their labors come to fruition in a way that honors their bond! There is equal beauty in both!"''
:''"Yes… And confoundedly elegant!"''
:''"…Glorious!"''
:''"You two have shown yourselves to be fine Trainers, with bright futures ahead of you."''

* If talked to again
:''"What is it?"''
::'''Tell me about Lisia.''': ''"Lisia is the daughter of my elder sister and does not live in Sootopolis any longer. She was tucked safely away during that infamous incident, so she would probably be quite shocked to learn your part in it."''
::'''So you did contests?''': ''"Yes, I once tried my hand at contests. But Lisia has a natural talent for them that greatly surpasses mine. She became an idol almost overnight. As a result, I was able to apply myself fully to my role as Gym Leader. After this, I almost feel as though I should give Contests another try. Or perhaps I should steal the title of Pokémon League Champion from you. That could be quite amusing…"''

* After exhausting both options
:''"I imagine Steven must be gnashing his teeth over missing today's Contest Spectacular."''

[[File:Wallace anime.png|thumb|left|250px|Wallace in the anime]]
Wallace first appeared in ''[[DP075|Our Cup Runneth Over!]]'' as a {{pkmn|Contest}} Master in [[Sinnoh]]. The gang found him relaxing near a lake with his Milotic. After watching {{Ash}} and {{an|Dawn}}'s practice match against each other, he asks Ash to enter the [[Wallace Cup]] with his {{AP|Buizel}}. He also does a practice appeal in the episode with his {{p|Milotic}} for Ash and the others.

He makes further appearances in ''[[DP077|Staging a Heroes Welcome]]'', ''[[DP078|Pruning a Passel of Pals!]]'', and ''[[DP079|Strategy With a Smile!]]'' acting as the judge for the Wallace Cup. He awarded {{an|Dawn}} the {{DL|Ribbon|Aqua Ribbon}} following her win at the Contest.

It is mentioned that, like in the games, Wallace is the former [[Sootopolis City]] Gym Leader and later the [[Hoenn]] {{pkmn|Champion}}. It was revealed in ''[[DP095|Battling the Generation Gap!]]'' that the [[Pokémon Stylist]] [[Lila]] designed his outfit for Contests.

He made a brief cameo in [[SS024]] in Dawn's dream, and in ''[[BW093|Goodbye, Junior Cup - Hello Adventure!]]'', when he was mentioned by Dawn to Ash, {{an|Iris}} and {{an|Cilan}}.

|epname=Our Cup Runneth Over!
|desc={{p|Milotic}} is Wallace's only known Pokémon in the anime. It first appeared with its Trainer at "Sinnoh Now", when Dawn was watching TV. Previously, Milotic had helped Wallace become a Contest Master with the help of its beauty and skill. It first debuted in ''[[DP075|Our Cup Runneth Over!]]'' when Wallace had a secret training session with it out on a lake. {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} came across them and were impressed with its beauty and graceful moves. Milotic even gave {{AP|Pikachu}} and {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}} a ride around the lake on its back. Later, Wallace did a practice appeal with his Pokémon for the gang and the Team Rocket trio.

Milotic helped Wallace make his sensational entrance to the [[Wallace Cup]]. It is clear that Wallace's fans also have a great love for Milotic as they went wild when it appeared. It even helped pass out the Ribbon to {{an|Dawn}} after she won the Wallace Cup.

Milotic's known [[move]]s are {{m|Aqua Ring}}, {{m|Dragon Pulse}}, {{m|Safeguard}}, {{m|Twister}}, and {{m|Hydro Pump}}.}}

[[File:Winona Wallace Adventures.png|thumb|right|220px|Wallace in Pokémon Adventures]]
Wallace debuts in the {{chap|Ruby & Sapphire}}. He first shows up when [[Flannery]] calls all of the Gym Leaders to Fortree City to have a meeting about the mysterious organizations [[Team Magma]] and [[Team Aqua]]. Due to having business elsewhere, Wallace is forced to attend via video rather than be there in person. When the other Gym Leaders begin taking sides on whether one team is evil and the other on the side of good, Wallace sides with Team Aqua due to him being a Water-type Trainer. After the discussion had ended, Wallace talks to [[Winona]] about the death of [[Mt. Chimney]] causing the sea levels to rise. Wallace reveals that he is heading to [[Fallarbor Town]] to discuss the changes in climate with [[Professor Cozmo]]. In addition to his quest, Wallace also participates in a Pokémon Contest. He manages to win easily, which gains the attention of {{adv|Ruby}}, who challenges Wallace to show off his skills. Ruby is defeated easily, but he was so impressed by Wallace that he demanded that Wallace become his master and train him in the art of Pokémon Contests. Wallace initially refuses, but changes his mind after seeing how strong Ruby is and finding out that he is the son of a Gym Leader. Once Wallace had finished his mission in Fallarbor Town, he went to Fortree City to meet with the other Gym Leaders and took Ruby there with him.

After some discussions occurred, Wallace saw Ruby suddenly running away. He follows after, only to find [[Slateport City]] flooded. Wallace helps the rescue the populace and eventually finds Ruby participating in a Pokémon Contest. Wallace enters the Contest as a mystery competitor and has it rigged so that Ruby would lose. Ruby is angered by this and takes his frustrations out on his {{p|Feebas}}, [[Feefee]]. Wallace reveals himself and berates Ruby for his horrible behavior. When Ruby realizes his mistake, he finds that Feefee had run away and that it was too late for him to apologize. Wallace continues to tell Ruby how horrible his behavior was, but the stress causes Ruby to pass out crying as he apologizes to his runaway Pokémon.

When {{p|Groudon}} and {{p|Kyogre}} are awakened, they begin causing {{a|Drought|droughts}} and {{a|Drizzle|downpours}} throughout Hoenn. Wallace decides to help battle against one of the Legendary Pokémon, but Winona informs him that the people behind the attacks are controlling Kyogre and Groudon at the [[Seafloor Cavern]]. After deciding to join in the fight, Ruby reveals that with Sapphire's {{p|Relicanth|Relly}}, he and Sapphire will be able to go to the Seafloor Cavern. After Ruby and Sapphire leave, Wallace heads off to help [[Brawly]] and [[Roxanne]] combat Groudon. Soon after arriving, all three are interrupted by the Three Fires of Team Magma, [[Blaise]], [[Tabitha]], and {{FB|Magma Admin|Courtney}}. The three grab Wallace, Brawly, and Roxanne and takes each of them to [[Lilycove City]] to prevent the Gym Leaders from stopping Groudon any further. Wallace is taken by Tabitha to the top of the [[Lilycove Department Store]].

Wallace manages to nearly defeat Tabitha, but an earlier exposure to the Blue Orb caused Tabitha to temporarily go crazy. Tabitha starts attacking Wallace in an unpredictable frenzy, forcing Wallace to try and escape. At the last second, {{Steven}} arrives to save Wallace and take his place in fighting Tabitha. Steven reveals that he has a plan to stop Groudon and Kyogre and has gathered all of the Hoenn Elite Four to enact it. Steven gives up his title as Champion and hands Wallace the Champion's Cloak.

With the other Gym Leaders too injured to continue battling, Wallace and Winona both head to Sootopolis City to help Ruby and Sapphire against Groudon and Kyogre. When he arrives, Wallace finds Ruby beaten and worried that they won't be able to win. Wallace snaps Ruby out of it by reminding him that he is fighting for the people he loves. Ruby thanks Wallace for helping bring back his confidence and goes to continue the battle alongside Sapphire. Together, Ruby and Sapphire force the Red and Blue Orbs out of [[Maxie]] and [[Archie]]'s bodies, but the explosion caused by the attack sends them to [[Mirage Island]], where they are trained by [[Juan]]. In the meantime, Wallace, Steven, and the Elite Four use the Legendary Pokémon {{p|Regirock}}, {{p|Regice}}, and {{p|Registeel}} to contain the energy created by Groudon and Kyogre clashing with each other. After Ruby and Sapphire return, Groudon and Kyogre are defeated and return to their long slumber. However, the strain of controlling the three Legendary Pokémon put too much strain on Steven, and he eventually dies from exhaustion. Despite the loss of Groudon and Kyogre, Archie and Maxie come out of hiding to kill Ruby and retrieving the Red and Blue Orbs to reenact their plans. Wallace and Sapphire head inside the battleground to stop the villains.

Once they arrive, Wallace realizes that Steven gave him the Champion's Cloak because he knew he would die after his plan succeeded. Wallace puts on the cloak and proceeds to attack Archie and Maxie. He manages to easily defeat them, but they reveal they had captured Winona and hold her hostage. Having no choice, Wallace is forced to lay down his Poké Balls and allow the villains to defeat him. After both Team Magma and Team Aqua are defeated, Wallace celebrated the victory with his allies and thanked Ruby and Sapphire for their assistance in the battle. With the help of Ruby's {{p|Celebi}}, those who died in the battle were revived.

In the {{chap|Emerald}}, Wallace appears at the wedding between [[Wanda]] and {{adv|Riley}} alongside Winona, Ruby, and Sapphire. He and Winona stay behind to attend the reception while Ruby and Sapphire go to their mission at the {{gdis|Battle Frontier|III}}.

He and Winona had a romantic relationship in the past. When Wallace beat the Pokémon League, he turned down the position of Champion to take over the Sootopolis Gym after his master, Juan. However, he also had the intention of staying close to Winona. Winona was apposed to this act, as she found the idea of a man much stronger than constantly around her to be smothering, which led to her breaking off their relationship.

==Trivia==
* Wallace is the only [[Gym Leader]] that appeared in the anime, but not in his home region, appearing only in [[Sinnoh]] during the [[Wallace Cup]] arc.
** Prior to Emerald's creation, artwork existed promoting Wallace as the Sootopolis Gym Leader. He was later replaced by Juan before the Sootopolis episodes.
* Wallace's Pokémon in {{2v2|Ruby|Sapphire}} are the same Pokémon used by Juan against {{Ash}} in the anime.
* In Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, he is the only Gym Leader to hand out a [[Hidden Machine]] as a prize for defeating him. This is due to [[Water Pulse (move)|Water Pulse]] no longer existing as a [[Technical Machine]] in [[Generation VI]].
* A number of Wallace's lines before, during and after the player's battle with him in Pokémon Emerald are extremely similar to [[Steven Stone]]'s at the same time periods in Ruby and Sapphire. In particular, the line Wallace says upon defeat is the same as Steven's, only with references to elegance added.
* In the [[Pokémon Black and White Versions|Pokémon White]] canon, Wallace and [[Iris]] are very similar: they were both trained by Gym Leaders, and both were the eighth [[Gym Leader]] in their respective regions, and afterwards, became the Champion, while their mentors took their places in their Gyms.
** However, this is not true in the [[Pokémon Black and White Versions|Pokémon Black]] canon, where, despite having been trained by a Gym Leader, Iris was never one herself before becoming the Champion.
* Wallace is the only Champion whose Pokémon are all of {{t|Water|his specialty type}}.
* In Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, when he is battled in the Delta Episode, he uses his Champion team from Emerald, with almost the exact same levels.
**Additionally, after completing the Delta Episode, Steven mentions to Wallace that he will relinquish his position as Champion sometime in order to travel the world, and asks Wallace if he will become Champion in his place, referencing their roles in Emerald.
* Wallace is the only {{pkmn|Coordinator}} in the {{pkmn|games}} who does not [[nickname|name]] his Pokémon.

'''Wallace''' (Japanese: '''ミクリ''' ''Mikuri'') is a {{pkmn|Master}} {{type|Water}} {{pkmn|Trainer}}. In the original {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}, as well as the remakes {{pkmn|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, he is the [[Gym Leader]] of [[Sootopolis City]]'s [[Gym]], known officially as the [[Sootopolis Gym]], wielding the {{Badge|Rain}}. In {{v2|Emerald}}, he becomes {{pkmn|Champion}} of the [[Elite Four]] after passing down the Gym to [[Juan]], his former instructor. He is apparently close to [[Steven Stone]], and assists him in the [[Cave of Origin]] quest in Ruby, Sapphire, Omega Ruby, and Alpha Sapphire. He is the only character in the games to have the [[Trainer class]] '''Sootopolitan''' (Japanese: '''ルネのたみ''').

==In the games==
In Ruby, Sapphire, Omega Ruby, and Alpha Sapphire, he runs the Sootopolis City Gym where he gives out the Rain Badge as well as {{TM|03|Water Pulse}}{{sup/3|RS}} or {{HM|05|Waterfall}}{{sup/6|ORAS}}. In Emerald, the storyline was revised so that he passes down the Gym to his mentor, and Wallace instead maintains a position as the Champion of the Elite Four. {{Steven}}, who was the Champion in the previous versions, is instead a legendary wandering Trainer.

In [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire]], Wallace occasionally enters [[Pokémon Contest Spectacular]]s. The {{player}} may compete against him in the [[Rank (Contest)|Master Rank]] of the [[Beautiful (condition)|Beauty category]] after entering the [[Pokémon League]]'s [[Hall of Fame]].

* Being defeated
:''"Bravo. I realize now your authenticity and magnificence as a <sc>Pokémon Trainer</sc>. I find much joy in having met you and your <sc>Pokémon</sc>. You have proven yourself worthy of the <sc>Rain Badge</sc>. Accept it."''

* After being defeated
:''"Having that <sc>Badge</sc> assures you full obedience of all your <sc>Pokémon</sc> to every command you make. The <sc>Badge</sc> also allows the use of the [[HM]] move <sc>{{m|Waterfall}}</sc> to scale walls of cascading water. And, so you never forget the battle we shared, take this…"''
:''"The [[TM]] I handed you contains <sc>{{m|Water Pulse}}</sc>. In use, it will occasionally confuse the target with ultrasonic waves."''

* If talked to once again and player skipped Fortree Gym
:''"There remains but one <sc>Badge</sc> to obtain in <sc>Hoenn</sc>. If you wish to challenge the <sc>Pokémon League</sc>, you must obtain the last <sc>Badge</sc> from the <sc>Gym</sc> in <sc>Fortree</sc>

:''"<player>… The leaders of <sc>Team Magma</sc> and <sc>Aqua</sc>, I don't think they meant harm. It wouldn't hurt to hear what they have to say for themselves."''
* After solving crisis and talking to both Archie and Maxie.
:''"<player>… My eyes didn't deceive me. Thanks to your help, <sc>Sootopolis</sc>… No, all of <sc>Hoenn</sc> was saved. On behalf of the people, I thank you. This is a gift from me. Please accept it. That <sc>Hidden Machine</sc> contains <sc>{{m|Waterfall}}</sc>. If you have the <sc>Rain Badge</sc>, a <sc>Pokémon</sc> that has learned that HM move can force its way up waterfalls.

One path would take you to the Pokémon League. It is the goal that all Trainers in Hoenn aspire to reach after obtaining all eight Gym Badges. If that is the path you chose, then you must find your way to the island said to be the most remote in Hoenn: {{color|00BFFF|Ever Grande}}. But if it is a different path you seek, and you would rather pursue Pokémon and a completed Pokédex… The rumors that reach me on the wind whisper that Professor Birch in {{color2|00BFFF|Littleroot Town|Littleroot}} has created a more powerful Pokédex.

Or by one of the [[Draconid people|Draconids]], who have also lived in Hoenn since ancient times… The Sky Pillar is in fact an altar built for the ascension of Rayquaza—that Legendary Pokémon long said to be the protector of the Hoenn region. Only the ancient Draconid people know how to summon Rayquaza to the Sky Pillar. Steven has told me of the woman [[Zinnia]]. She must be trying to revive Rayquaza for some purpose.

=====Any [[Contest Hall]]=====
* After defeating [[Lisia]] in a [[Rank (Contest)|Master Rank]] {{pkmn|Contest}}
:''"No introductions necessary, Lisia. I would say that <player> and I… know each other quite well already.

:''"You appear to be well."''
:''"Lisia has been so enraptured by the contest spectacles that I felt compelled to see them for myself. It has been many years since I last took part in the likes of a contest… And here I find you once more. It is not only in my own Gym that you have defeated me, but you have bested me in contests as well. It seems I still have much to learn…"''
:''"I suppose you're right."''
:''"<player>, I'm sure you've grown to understand this already. No matter whether you stand in a Pokémon Gym or a Contest Hall, a Trainer who holds to {{tt|his|If the player is a boy}}/{{tt|her|If the player is a girl}} belief in the Pokémon beside {{tt|him|If the player is a boy}}/{{tt|her|If the player is a girl}}… The Pokémon that battles on, believing in the Trainer with whom it stands together… The settings may differ, but their labors come to fruition in a way that honors their bond! There is equal beauty in both!"''
:''"Yes… And confoundedly elegant!"''
:''"…Glorious!"''
:''"You two have shown yourselves to be fine Trainers, with bright futures ahead of you."''

* If talked to again
:''"What is it?"''
::'''Tell me about Lisia.''': ''"Lisia is the daughter of my elder sister and does not live in Sootopolis any longer. She was tucked safely away during that infamous incident, so she would probably be quite shocked to learn your part in it."''
::'''So you did contests?''': ''"Yes, I once tried my hand at contests. But Lisia has a natural talent for them that greatly surpasses mine. She became an idol almost overnight. As a result, I was able to apply myself fully to my role as Gym Leader. After this, I almost feel as though I should give Contests another try. Or perhaps I should steal the title of Pokémon League Champion from you. That could be quite amusing…"''

* After exhausting both options
:''"I imagine Steven must be gnashing his teeth over missing today's Contest Spectacular."''

[[File:Wallace anime.png|thumb|left|250px|Wallace in the anime]]
Wallace first appeared in ''[[DP075|Our Cup Runneth Over!]]'' as a {{pkmn|Contest}} Master in [[Sinnoh]]. The gang found him relaxing near a lake with his Milotic. After watching {{Ash}} and {{an|Dawn}}'s practice match against each other, he asks Ash to enter the [[Wallace Cup]] with his {{AP|Buizel}}. He also does a practice appeal in the episode with his {{p|Milotic}} for Ash and the others.

He makes further appearances in ''[[DP077|Staging a Heroes Welcome]]'', ''[[DP078|Pruning a Passel of Pals!]]'', and ''[[DP079|Strategy With a Smile!]]'' acting as the judge for the Wallace Cup. He awarded {{an|Dawn}} the {{DL|Ribbon|Aqua Ribbon}} following her win at the Contest.

It is mentioned that, like in the games, Wallace is the former [[Sootopolis City]] Gym Leader and later the [[Hoenn]] {{pkmn|Champion}}. It was revealed in ''[[DP095|Battling the Generation Gap!]]'' that the [[Pokémon Stylist]] [[Lila]] designed his outfit for Contests.

He made a brief cameo in [[SS024]] in Dawn's dream, and in ''[[BW093|Goodbye, Junior Cup - Hello Adventure!]]'', when he was mentioned by Dawn to Ash, {{an|Iris}} and {{an|Cilan}}.

|epname=Our Cup Runneth Over!
|desc={{p|Milotic}} is Wallace's only known Pokémon in the anime. It first appeared with its Trainer at "Sinnoh Now", when Dawn was watching TV. Previously, Milotic had helped Wallace become a Contest Master with the help of its beauty and skill. It first debuted in ''[[DP075|Our Cup Runneth Over!]]'' when Wallace had a secret training session with it out on a lake. {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} came across them and were impressed with its beauty and graceful moves. Milotic even gave {{AP|Pikachu}} and {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}} a ride around the lake on its back. Later, Wallace did a practice appeal with his Pokémon for the gang and the Team Rocket trio.

Milotic helped Wallace make his sensational entrance to the [[Wallace Cup]]. It is clear that Wallace's fans also have a great love for Milotic as they went wild when it appeared. It even helped pass out the Ribbon to {{an|Dawn}} after she won the Wallace Cup.

Milotic's known [[move]]s are {{m|Aqua Ring}}, {{m|Dragon Pulse}}, {{m|Safeguard}}, {{m|Twister}}, and {{m|Hydro Pump}}.}}

[[File:Winona Wallace Adventures.png|thumb|right|220px|Wallace in Pokémon Adventures]]
Wallace debuts in the {{chap|Ruby & Sapphire}}. He first shows up when [[Flannery]] calls all of the Gym Leaders to Fortree City to have a meeting about the mysterious organizations [[Team Magma]] and [[Team Aqua]]. Due to having business elsewhere, Wallace is forced to attend via video rather than be there in person. When the other Gym Leaders begin taking sides on whether one team is evil and the other on the side of good, Wallace sides with Team Aqua due to him being a Water-type Trainer. After the discussion had ended, Wallace talks to [[Winona]] about the death of [[Mt. Chimney]] causing the sea levels to rise. Wallace reveals that he is heading to [[Fallarbor Town]] to discuss the changes in climate with [[Professor Cozmo]]. In addition to his quest, Wallace also participates in a Pokémon Contest. He manages to win easily, which gains the attention of {{adv|Ruby}}, who challenges Wallace to show off his skills. Ruby is defeated easily, but he was so impressed by Wallace that he demanded that Wallace become his master and train him in the art of Pokémon Contests. Wallace initially refuses, but changes his mind after seeing how strong Ruby is and finding out that he is the son of a Gym Leader. Once Wallace had finished his mission in Fallarbor Town, he went to Fortree City to meet with the other Gym Leaders and took Ruby there with him.

After some discussions occurred, Wallace saw Ruby suddenly running away. He follows after, only to find [[Slateport City]] flooded. Wallace helps the rescue the populace and eventually finds Ruby participating in a Pokémon Contest. Wallace enters the Contest as a mystery competitor and has it rigged so that Ruby would lose. Ruby is angered by this and takes his frustrations out on his {{p|Feebas}}, [[Feefee]]. Wallace reveals himself and berates Ruby for his horrible behavior. When Ruby realizes his mistake, he finds that Feefee had run away and that it was too late for him to apologize. Wallace continues to tell Ruby how horrible his behavior was, but the stress causes Ruby to pass out crying as he apologizes to his runaway Pokémon.

When {{p|Groudon}} and {{p|Kyogre}} are awakened, they begin causing {{a|Drought|droughts}} and {{a|Drizzle|downpours}} throughout Hoenn. Wallace decides to help battle against one of the Legendary Pokémon, but Winona informs him that the people behind the attacks are controlling Kyogre and Groudon at the [[Seafloor Cavern]]. After deciding to join in the fight, Ruby reveals that with Sapphire's {{p|Relicanth|Relly}}, he and Sapphire will be able to go to the Seafloor Cavern. After Ruby and Sapphire leave, Wallace heads off to help [[Brawly]] and [[Roxanne]] combat Groudon. Soon after arriving, all three are interrupted by the Three Fires of Team Magma, [[Blaise]], [[Tabitha]], and {{FB|Magma Admin|Courtney}}. The three grab Wallace, Brawly, and Roxanne and takes each of them to [[Lilycove City]] to prevent the Gym Leaders from stopping Groudon any further. Wallace is taken by Tabitha to the top of the [[Lilycove Department Store]].

Wallace manages to nearly defeat Tabitha, but an earlier exposure to the Blue Orb caused Tabitha to temporarily go crazy. Tabitha starts attacking Wallace in an unpredictable frenzy, forcing Wallace to try and escape. At the last second, {{Steven}} arrives to save Wallace and take his place in fighting Tabitha. Steven reveals that he has a plan to stop Groudon and Kyogre and has gathered all of the Hoenn Elite Four to enact it. Steven gives up his title as Champion and hands Wallace the Champion's Cloak.

With the other Gym Leaders too injured to continue battling, Wallace and Winona both head to Sootopolis City to help Ruby and Sapphire against Groudon and Kyogre. When he arrives, Wallace finds Ruby beaten and worried that they won't be able to win. Wallace snaps Ruby out of it by reminding him that he is fighting for the people he loves. Ruby thanks Wallace for helping bring back his confidence and goes to continue the battle alongside Sapphire. Together, Ruby and Sapphire force the Red and Blue Orbs out of [[Maxie]] and [[Archie]]'s bodies, but the explosion caused by the attack sends them to [[Mirage Island]], where they are trained by [[Juan]]. In the meantime, Wallace, Steven, and the Elite Four use the Legendary Pokémon {{p|Regirock}}, {{p|Regice}}, and {{p|Registeel}} to contain the energy created by Groudon and Kyogre clashing with each other. After Ruby and Sapphire return, Groudon and Kyogre are defeated and return to their long slumber. However, the strain of controlling the three Legendary Pokémon put too much strain on Steven, and he eventually dies from exhaustion. Despite the loss of Groudon and Kyogre, Archie and Maxie come out of hiding to kill Ruby and retrieving the Red and Blue Orbs to reenact their plans. Wallace and Sapphire head inside the battleground to stop the villains.

Once they arrive, Wallace realizes that Steven gave him the Champion's Cloak because he knew he would die after his plan succeeded. Wallace puts on the cloak and proceeds to attack Archie and Maxie. He manages to easily defeat them, but they reveal they had captured Winona and hold her hostage. Having no choice, Wallace is forced to lay down his Poké Balls and allow the villains to defeat him. After both Team Magma and Team Aqua are defeated, Wallace celebrated the victory with his allies and thanked Ruby and Sapphire for their assistance in the battle. With the help of Ruby's {{p|Celebi}}, those who died in the battle were revived.

In the {{chap|Emerald}}, Wallace appears at the wedding between [[Wanda]] and {{adv|Riley}} alongside Winona, Ruby, and Sapphire. He and Winona stay behind to attend the reception while Ruby and Sapphire go to their mission at the {{gdis|Battle Frontier|III}}.

He and Winona had a romantic relationship in the past. When Wallace beat the Pokémon League, he turned down the position of Champion to take over the Sootopolis Gym after his master, Juan. However, he also had the intention of staying close to Winona. Winona was apposed to this act, as she found the idea of a man much stronger than constantly around her to be smothering, which led to her breaking off their relationship.

Registeel then left to part unknown and was later captured by {{FB|Pyramid King|Brandon}}.}}

==Trivia==
* Wallace is the only [[Gym Leader]] that appeared in the anime, but not in his home region, appearing only in [[Sinnoh]] during the [[Wallace Cup]] arc.
** Prior to Emerald's creation, artwork existed promoting Wallace as the Sootopolis Gym Leader. He was later replaced by Juan before the Sootopolis episodes.
* Wallace's Pokémon in {{2v2|Ruby|Sapphire}} are the same Pokémon used by Juan against {{Ash}} in the anime.
* In Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, he is the only Gym Leader to hand out a [[Hidden Machine]] as a prize for defeating him. This is due to [[Water Pulse (move)|Water Pulse]] no longer existing as [[TM03]] in [[Generation VI]].
* A number of Wallace's lines before, during and after the player's battle with him in Pokémon Emerald are extremely similar to [[Steven Stone]]'s at the same time periods in Ruby and Sapphire. In particular, the line Wallace says upon defeat is the same as Steven's, only with references to elegance added.
* In the [[Pokémon Black and White Versions|Pokémon White]] canon, Wallace and [[Iris]] are very similar: they were both trained by Gym Leaders, and both were the eighth [[Gym Leader]] in their respective regions, and afterwards, became the Champion, while their mentors took their places in their Gyms.
** However, this is not true in the [[Pokémon Black and White Versions|Pokémon Black]] canon, where, despite having been trained by a Gym Leader, Iris was never one herself before becoming the Champion.
* Wallace is the only Champion whose Pokémon are all of {{t|Water|his specialty type}}.
* In Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, when he is battled in the Delta Episode, he uses his Champion team from Emerald, with almost the exact same levels.
**Additionally, after completing the Delta Episode, Steven mentions to Wallace that he will relinquish his position as Champion sometime in order to travel the world, and asks Wallace if he will become Champion in his place, referencing their roles in Emerald.
* Wallace is the only {{pkmn|Coordinator}} in the {{pkmn|games}} who does not [[nickname|name]] his Pokémon.

Talk:Slurpuff (Pokémon)

2014-01-25T05:03:06Z

Blueknightex: /* Changes on Origin section */ new section

Seems way more likely to be some sort of cream pfuf, than ice cream...--[[User:Pyleic|Pyleic]] ([[User talk:Pyleic|talk]]) 08:07, 25 October 2013 (UTC)

== Changes on Origin section ==

I added the 'meringue' bit and placed it on the first few lines of the paragraphs. It's quite obvious that its based on the {{wp|meringue}} as the Dex entries in-game states. It has red-dot on top resembles a strawberry which they often put on meringue nests. Besides, I rarely see cream-puffs with fruits on them. I moved the profiterole/cream puff part onto the name-origin section because its Japanese and English names contains the words 'puff' and 'cream'. Feel free to comment about my edit here [[User:Blueknightex|Blueknightex]] ([[User talk:Blueknightex|talk]]) 05:03, 25 January 2014 (UTC)

==Trivia==
* Slurpuff and {{p|Aromatisse}} can be seen as parallels to each other; both are version exclusive pure Fairy types, with Slurpuff being exclusive to X, and Aromatisse to Y, both have Abilities exclusive to them that affect themselves as well as their allies, and both are evolved from their previous forms by being traded while holding certain items.

===Origin===
Slurpuff is based on the {{wp|meringue}}, a desert made from whipped egg whites and sugar. It is often topped with {{wp|whipped cream}} and fruits to create a meringue nest. The red spot on its head resembles a fruit topping such as a strawberry or cherry. Meringue is also used as a sweet base on other various deserts such as cakes, pies and pastries. It may also be based on {{wp|cupcake}}s or Japanese-style {{wp|mille-feuille}}. Cupcakes are sometimes referred to as fairy cakes, which may be an inspiration for its type. Considering its lolling tongue, nose, paws, and ear-like circular extensions on its head, it may also be based on a {{wp|dog}}, possibly a {{wp|Bichon Frise}} or {{wp|poodle}}.

====Name origin====
Slurpuff may be a combination of ''slurp'' and ''puff''. It may also be a play on the word ''surplus''.

Peroream may be a combination of ペロペロ ''peropero'' (onomatopoeic sound for licking) and ''cream''.

Both names may refer to the {{wp|profiterole}} (cream puff), a pastry desert filled with whipped cream and then topped with {{wp|ganache}}, and a {{wp|sauce}}.

'''Ampharos''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''デンリュウ''' ''Denryu'') is an {{type|Electric}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Flaaffy}} starting at [[level]] 30. It is the final form of {{p|Mareep}}.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Ampharos appear vastly different to its pre-evolutions, but it retains many of their features. For example, it remains {{DL|List of Pokémon by body style|Pokémon with a bipedal, tailed form|bipedal}} like {{p|Flaaffy}}. It also retains the orb on the end of its tail, and the conical ears shared by both its pre-evolutions. The wool it had is now entirely gone, and its body is now mostly yellow in coloration with a white belly. It has black stripes on its neck, ears, and tail. The orb on its tail is now red, and it has gained another smaller orb on its forehead. Its stubby arms resemble flippers.

As Mega Ampharos, it retains the wool that it had lost from its pre-evolutions which has now grown on the head and tail. Its long wooly tail has many orbs attached to it.

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

===Special abilities===
Ampharos gives off so much light that it can be seen even from space. People once used the light of this Pokémon as a beacon, or to send signals across the ocean.

Through the use of a [[Mega Stone]], Ampharos can use Mega Evolution to become Mega Ampharos.

===Behavior===
Ampharos is a gentle Pokémon that spends most of its time grazing in flocks of other Ampharos and its pre-evolutions, Mareep and Flaaffy. Because its tail glows brightly, in times of emergency it uses its tail as a beacon in the place of a lighthouse.

===Habitat===
[[File:Grassland Habitat.png|thumb|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Grassland Pokémon}}]]
Ampharos can be generally found in grasslands along with their pre-evolutions, but are an uncommon sight.

===Diet===

==Trivia==
* Ampharos shares the same [[species]] name with {{p|Lanturn}}. They are both known as the Light Pokémon.

===Origin===
Ampharos resembles a sheared {{wp|sheep}} that its evolution line leads up to as they lose wool with each evolution. It also shares traits with a {{wp|lighthouse}}, such as its height, stripes and the beacon on the top; the two also share a name. It, as well as its pre-evolutions, may have been based on the title of the science fiction novel ''{{wp|Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?}}''.

====Name origin====
Ampharos is a combination of ''ampere'' or ''{{wp|amp}}'' (a measure of electrical current) and ''pharos'' (Greek for ''lighthouse'').

Denryu can be taken to mean 電流 ''denryū'' (electric current) or 電竜 ''denryū'' (electric dragon), and it may incorporate 電球 ''denkyū'' (light bulb), referring to its tail.

'''Ampharos''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''デンリュウ''' ''Denryu'') is an {{type|Electric}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Flaaffy}} starting at [[level]] 30. It is the final form of {{p|Mareep}}.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Ampharos appear vastly different to its pre-evolutions, but it retains many of their features. For example, it remains {{DL|List of Pokémon by body style|Pokémon with a bipedal, tailed form|bipedal}} like {{p|Flaaffy}}. It also retains the orb on the end of its tail, and the conical ears shared by both its pre-evolutions. The wool it had is now entirely gone, and its body is now mostly yellow in coloration with a white belly. It has black stripes on its neck, ears, and tail. The orb on its tail is now red, and it has gained another smaller orb on its forehead. Its stubby arms resemble flippers.

As Mega Ampharos, it retains the wool that it had lost from its pre-evolutions which has now grown on the head and tail. Its long wooly tail has many orbs attached to it.

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

===Special abilities===
Ampharos gives off so much light that it can be seen even from space. People once used the light of this Pokémon as a beacon, or to send signals across the ocean.

===Behavior===
Ampharos is a gentle Pokémon that spends most of its time grazing in flocks of other Ampharos and its pre-evolutions, Mareep and Flaaffy. Because its tail glows brightly, in times of emergency it uses its tail as a beacon in the place of a lighthouse.

===Habitat===
[[File:Grassland Habitat.png|thumb|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Grassland Pokémon}}]]
Ampharos can be generally found in grasslands along with their pre-evolutions, but are an uncommon sight.

==Trivia==
* Ampharos shares the same [[species]] name with {{p|Lanturn}}. They are both known as the Light Pokémon.

===Origin===
Ampharos resembles a sheared {{wp|sheep}} that its evolution line leads up to as they lose wool with each evolution. It also shares traits with a {{wp|lighthouse}}, such as its height, stripes and the beacon on the top; the two also share a name. It, as well as its pre-evolutions, may have been based on the title of the science fiction novel ''{{wp|Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?}}''.

====Name origin====
Ampharos is a combination of ''ampere'' or ''{{wp|amp}}'' (a measure of electrical current) and ''pharos'' (Greek for ''lighthouse'').

Denryu can be taken to mean 電流 ''denryū'' (electric current) or 電竜 ''denryū'' (electric dragon), and it may incorporate 電球 ''denkyū'' (light bulb), referring to its tail.

==In other languages==

== Tentacool ==

I need help changing one of the type effects of Tentacool over to somewhere else. I am a new member so I don't know how to do all these changes so if someone can help that will be nice.

what needs to be changed is electric needs to be taken out of tentacool's weakness column and put in the regular effect column. if someone can tell me how to do that then that will be nice thanks again.
([[User:Roadmaster84|Roadmaster84]] 23:29, 21 December 2011 (UTC))
:Tentacool is a {{t|Water}}/{{t|Poison}} Pokémon. Water is weak to Electric and Poison is neutral to Electric. Therefore Tentacool is weak to Electric moves and the existing chart is correct. [[User:Werdnae|Werdnae]] [[User talk:Werdnae|(talk)]] 23:38, 21 December 2011 (UTC)

== Recycle restoring Air Balloon ==

The page [[Recycle]] doesn't mention anything about being able/unable to restore a popped Air Balloon. Shouldn't that be changed? [[User:PC-Reviver|PC-Reviver]] 15:59, 28 January 2012 (UTC)
:No, because a popped Air Balloon is an item that's been consumed, and thus falls under the category of consumed items. - ''signed comment from [[User:BisumitoIsSnazzy|q~Bisumito is Snazzy~p]] ([[User talk:BisumitoIsSnazzy|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/BisumitoIsSnazzy|contribs]])'' 20:31, 30 August 2012 (UTC)

== how do i get permission to make pages ==

hi im new and wondering how to make pages [[User:Xspeedx|Xspeedx]] 18:05, 4 February 2012 (UTC)
:You need to make a (top secret) number of edits to the mainspace (i.e. articles) and have had your account for a short (also top secret) length of time. This is done so that you get a chance +to learn our rules and styles before trying to build a page on your own. [[User:Werdnae|Werdnae]] [[User talk:Werdnae|(talk)]] 03:54, 5 February 2012 (UTC)

== I need advice ==

Hi, I saw the Anville town Article and saw the section at the top said you can get to anvillle town using the Anville town line in the battle subway. I was thinking that changing it to the Brown line because it's colour is brown? I'm not sure if i should but please tell me if i'm right! [[User:SkyAltaria1|SkyAltaria1]] 14:16, 17 April 2012 (UTC)
:Perhaps it would be more precise to change it the brown line instead of just saying "Anville line". I don't think there's any harm in changing it. [[User:Pokemaster97|--Pokemaster]][[User talk:Pokemaster97|97]] 15:38, 17 April 2012 (UTC)
Ok Thanks :) [[User:SkyAltaria1|SkyAltaria1]] 06:49, 18 April 2012 (UTC)

Hey, I need advice too. I know of a glitch that is fairly well-known, yet this wiki doesn't have a page for it. I notice that most glitches have their own pages as well as appearing on the List of Glitches section of the Glitch page. However, I don't have permission to make pages yet. Should I just add this glitch to the List of Glitches and hope someone else makes a page for it, or should I request that a page for it be made, or what? [[User:HappyGasGames|HappyGasGames]] ([[User talk:HappyGasGames|talk]]) 17:06, 3 August 2012 (UTC)
:If you have a question on a topic that's glitch related, you should talk to {{u|SnorlaxMonster}}. He's the leader of Project:Glichdex and would probably have the answers you're looking for. '''''[[User:Pokemaster97|--Pokemaster]][[User talk:Pokemaster97|97]]''''' 17:10, 3 August 2012 (UTC)

== Romanization ==
I'm not entirely fond of how Bulbapedia handles their Japanese names for things, primarily how we use the trademarked name and completely ignore the rōmaji. Yes, I think it's important to have the trademarked Japanese names, but I think it's also equally important to have the bare rōmaji, too. I think it would be effective to use the <nowiki>{{tt}}</nowiki> template around the Japanese text itself to show the rōmaji alongside the trademarked name. For example, it would look like this: {{tt|ラルトス|Rarutosu}} ''Ralts'' or {{tt|カメックス|Kamekkusu}} ''Kamex''. Would anyone object to me going around and doing this? [[User:Mitsuru|Mitsuru]] 23:13, 12 May 2012 (UTC)
:[[List of Japanese Pokémon names]]. This does that. I personally do not like the idea for esthetic reasons. --[[Tracey Sketchit|'''ケンジ''']][[User talk:Kenji-girl|'''の''']][[User:Kenji-girl|'''ガール''']] 23:19, 12 May 2012 (UTC)
::Alright, but it applies to more than just Pokémon themselves. Many pages unrelated to Pokémon suffer the same ([[Snag Machine]], [[N]], etc.). And I disagree; I don't think it's too much of an eyesore, and it's hardly invasive. [[User:Mitsuru|Mitsuru]] 03:06, 13 May 2012 (UTC)

'''Relic Song''' (Japanese: '''いにしえのうた''' ''Ancient Song'') is a damage-dealing {{type|Normal}} [[move]] introduced in [[Generation V]]. It is only learned by {{p|Meloetta}} through a tutor in [[Castelia City]], and cannot be selected by {{m|Metronome}}.

==Effect==
Relic Song deals damage and has a 10% chance of putting the target to {{status|sleep}}. Relic Song hits all adjacent opponents.

When used by {{p|Meloetta}} in battle, it will also cause it to change between its [[Form differences#Meloetta|Aria and Pirouette Formes]].

==Description==
{{movedesc|normal}}
{{movedescentry|{{gameabbrev3|BWB2W2}}|The user sings an ancient song and attacks by appealing to the hearts of those listening. It may also induce sleep.}}
|}
|}{{left clear}}

==Learnset==
===By [[Move Tutor]]===
In {{4v|Black|White}}, a {{tc|musician}} in {{DL|Castelia City|Café Sonata}} will make Meloetta remember the move, which, story-wise, it had forgotten.

==Trivia==
* Relic Song is the only move that deals damage and can put the target to {{status|sleep}}, regardless of battle location.
** {{m|Secret Power}} can also do damage and put the opponent to sleep, but only when used in {{DL|Tall grass|long grass}}{{sup/3|RSE}} or [[tall grass]]{{sup/4|DPPtHGSS}}{{sup/5|BWB2W2}}.
* If Meloetta forgets the move, the player can return to the musician again to re-learn it. This will also repeat the cutscene.

==Title defence==
"''It is assumed that the Champion must defend their title against challengers, although this is never explicitly stated.''"

What about when you fight Blue in R/B. They say he's the champion, then you have to fight him to become champion, you beat him and oh noes he is no longer the top-dog. That looks to me like a title defence. - [[User:Ferret|Ferret]] 03:39, 21 Apr 2005 (UTC)

As someone else noted in another article - the problem with that is FireRed and LeafGreen alone - where when you fight the Elite Four the second time (and in terms of the story - they recognize it's the second time, too) and Blue is the champion agian. - Zeta

That is a problem. But to me that would say that in the game, that it's possible to have more than one champion at the same time, no? Or maybe Game Freak just screwed up. Maybe the translators screwed up, does the original Japanese version share the same not-champion, now-chamption mixup? - [[User:Ferret|Ferret]] 03:56, 21 Apr 2005 (UTC)

What I don't understand is why, in the games, the main goals are: catch all Pokémon, and '''BECOME THE CHAMPION'''. Yet when you beat the Elite Four/Champion, you can go back and re-chalenge the Champion, even though the game '''says''' you are the Champ, and the Champion has the same speech and is called '''"Champion''' *blank*". It is a '''HUGE''' loophole in the games. Why not retire the old Champ or have them say that you are the Champ now in their pre-battle speech?

Was it ever mentioned that winning the Pokémon League makes you that region's Champion in the anime? Tobias and Cynthia seem to be extremely different cases. In fact, I would think that winning the league would allow access to the Champion League, which as far as I understand it, is an invite-only tournament for Elite Four members, the regional Champion, and probably "Sinnoh League Victors" to compete in. That is speculation, but so is assuming that winning the league automatically makes them the Champion. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 11:14, 24 November 2011 (UTC)

I know Ataro's version is higher resolution, but the mask pretty much gives the whole thing away. I wouldn't really move the spoiler tag any higher, since an encyclopedia is full of spoilers by nature, and the reader might not necessarily realise that the spoiler regards Pokémon Adventures if they see it at the very top of the page (or they are more likely to ignore it) so i prefer the spoiler tag at the very top of the Adventures section, but maybe we could change the image because you see that picture before you see the spoiler tag anyways :P [[Special:Contributions/Zesty Cactus|--]][[User:Zesty Cactus|'''Zesty''']][[User talk:Zesty Cactus|'''Cactus''']] 23:03, 12 December 2011 (UTC)

''"* Pryce is the first Gym Leader who both specializes in the Ice type and is the 7th [[Gym Leader]], the others being [[Candice]] and [[Brycen]]."''

There is a pattern though but I decided to turn it into this statement to make it more clear and precise. Besides we're talking about '''two points''' in one sentence. In other bulbapedia articles, I've seen people divide it into this format.

* Pryce was the first Gym Leader to be introduced in the series who specializes with {{type2|Ice}} Pokémon, the others that followed were [[Candice]] and [[Brycen]].
**Coincidentally, they were also the seventh [[Gym Leader]]s whom the player faces in their respective regions.

So I suggest that it should be kept this way.

Or maybe this way:

* Pryce was the first Gym Leader to be introduced in the series who specializes with {{type2|Ice}} Pokémon, the others that followed were [[Candice]] and [[Brycen]]. Coincidentally, they were also the seventh [[Gym Leader]]s whom the player faces in their respective regions.

** Since we're talking about two points in one sentence. [[User:Blueknightex|Blueknightex]] 22:07, 4 May 2012 (UTC)

:No. It's fine the way it is.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 03:42, 5 May 2012 (UTC)

:: Well to you it is (probably). Anyways your trivia information has been removed now. I do agree its not that notable that's why I found it difficult to comprehend and I created this section.

'''Candice''' (Japanese: '''スズナ''' ''Suzuna'') is the [[Gym Leader]] of [[Snowpoint City]]'s [[Gym]], known officially as the [[Snowpoint Gym]]. She hands out the {{Badge|Icicle}} to {{pkmn|Trainer}}s who defeat her. She specializes in {{type2|Ice}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}.

==In the games==
Candice uses {{type2|Ice}} Pokémon in her battles. Trainers who defeat her will receive the {{badge|Icicle}}, {{TM|72|Avalanche}}, and will be able to use {{m|Rock Climb}} outside of battle. Candice teaches that before battling with Pokémon, a person needs to befriend them first. Candice has an interest in fashion and romance as well as Pokémon, and believes a person should put all their focus into whatever they do. She sometimes muses that she acts the opposite of the way people would expect an Ice-type Gym Leader to behave - warm and friendly instead of [[Pryce|cold and distant]]. She also seems to enjoy talking in third person.

She later allows the player entry into the [[Snowpoint Temple]], and, in {{v2|Platinum}}, will appear occasionally for rematches at the [[Battleground]].

In Platinum, [[Maylene]] mentions in Snowpoint's [[Pokémon Center]] that she admires Candice for being studious. She also mentions that Candice wanted to practice against her to learn about the {{type|Fighting}} because of it being a weakness of {{type|Ice}} Pokémon.

==In the anime==
[[File:Candice anime.png|250px|Candice in the anime|thumb|left]]
Candice made her debut appearance in ''[[DP126|Classroom Training!]]'' where she was revealed to be a teacher in [[Snowpoint City]]'s Trainers' School. She is also a childhood friend of [[Zoey]] and calls her by the nickname "Zo-Zo" (Japanese: '''ノゾチ''' ''Nozotchi'').

Ash battled her in ''[[DP127|Sliding Into Seventh!]]'', where he defeated her and earned the {{badge|Icicle}}. She also appeared in ''[[DP128|A Pyramiding Rage!]]''. [[Paul]] challenged her to a Gym battle in ''[[DP128|A Pyramiding Rage!]]'' where it took place off-screen between the aforementioned episode and ''[[DP131|Pedal to the Mettle!]]'' The winner of the match was Paul as said in the next episode.
[[File:Candice Sweater.png|250px|Candice with her sweater on|thumb|right]]
She made another appearance in ''[[DP155|Double-Time Battle Training!]]'' where she watches Zoey win the Brussel Town Contest, and her 5th Contest Ribbon. She helps Dawn prepare for the Daybreak Contest with Zoey. In ''[[DP161|Yes, in Dee Dee It's Dawn!]]'' she and Zoey were watching Dawn's performance on TV.

She also made another brief cameo in ''[[DP177|A Grand Fight for Winning!]]'' watching {{an|Dawn}} and Zoey compete in the [[Sinnoh Grand Festival]] on television.

Her trademark is using the term "{{wp|kiai}}" in regular speech (instead of as a sound effect), such as in the line, "Get your kiai on!"

===In the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga===
[[File:Volkner Candice Adventures.png|thumb|215px|Candice and her {{p|Froslass}} with [[Volkner]] and his {{p|Electivire}}]]
She first appeared in {{rt|217|Sinnoh}} saving {{adv|Platinum}} when she fell from her skis after angering a pack of {{p|Graveler}}. Eventually, Platinum challenged her to a gym battle, where her {{p|Snover}} double-KO'd with [[Platinum's Empoleon]], and her {{p|Froslass}} took over to fight [[Platinum's Rapidash]]. At first, the newly evolved Fire Horse Pokémon seemed to take the lead against Froslass' ineffective {{t|Ice}} attacks, but Candice soon realized that Platinum's real objective wasn't to win the gym badge sincerely, but rather to get it over with so she can protect {{p|Uxie}} at [[Lake Acuity]]. Upon this realization, she ordered Froslass to attack with a {{m|Wake-Up Slap}} and deal massive damage on the {{m|Rest|sleeping}} Rapidash, and then withdrew Froslass before switching out to Abomasnow. Losing motivation, she asked the [[Sinnoh]] Pokémon League chairman if she could stop the battle, but ended up continuing anyway. With Rapidash close to fainting, Platinum switched out to her new capture, {{p|Lopunny}}, who was surprisingly able to defeat the massive bulk, but eventually was beaten by Froslass. As Candice gloated over her seeming victory, however, it was discovered that Lopunny used {{m|Healing Wish}} to revitalize Rapidash (fainting in the process), who, with a surprise attack, took out Candice's last Pokémon, winning the battle.

Afterwards, she awarded Platinum the Icicle Badge, and the two traveled together to Lake Acuity with [[Maylene]] to protect Uxie, only to be promptly defeated by [[Jupiter]]'s superior brawn and tactics. She later called Byron and told him to send them someone to train them in so that they can become stronger. After some difficulty with their new trainer, Volkner, Platinum managed to convince him to train them. At the Spear Pillar she, along with Maylene, fought Jupiter a second time, this time defeating her. She along with her fellow Gym Leaders fought Cyrus and managed to break his Red Chain but brought upon themselves the wrath of Cyrus with it and were defeated.

Afterwords, she was used in her Gym match and was Candice's third Pokémon, against Platinum's newly caught Lopunny. She first successfully hit the Rabbit Pokémon with an {{m|Ice Shard}}, but it could stand it. Despite being an inexperienced member of her team, Lopunny was swiftly able to avoid the massive Pokémon's {{m|Focus Blast}}s, and to defeat her with a nimble {{m|Jump Kick}}.

After switching with Abomasnow, and the latter being defeated, she went against Lopunny, and stopped its jumping strategy and defeated it, but just before she could claim victory, she was defeated by Rapidash who had it energy restored by Lopunny's {{m|Healing Wish}}, earning Platinum the battle. After the Gym battle, she was taken to [[Lake Acuity]] where she was defeated by [[Jupiter]]. Later, at the Spear Pillar, Candice gave her to Platinum.

Froslass's known moves are {{m|Blizzard}} and {{m|Wake-Up Slap}}.}}

===In the [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Adventure!]] manga===
[[File:Candice DPA.png|thumb|right|100px|Candice in Diamond and Pearl Adventure!]]

Candice makes an appearance in ''[[DPA10|A Novel Test!]]'', where she gives [[Hareta]] a test to see if he can defeat [[Team Galactic]]. Candice sends out all three of her golems. She uses Regice and Regirock in a double battle. Candice was a tough opponent that Hareta faced as her golems's {{a|Clear Body|ability}} negated {{p|Luxio}}'s {{a|Intimidate}}. In the myst of the battle, her Regirock buries Hareta's {{p|Riolu}} in an avalanche. However, just when Candice was about to walk away, Riolu [[Evolution|evolves]] into a {{p|Lucario}} and defeats both of her golems single-handedly. After the battle, Candice takes Hareta to the Snowpoint Temple. It turns out that the test that Candice gave to Hareta was to determine if he was able to obtain {{TP|Hareta|Regigigas}}

==Trivia==
* Even though Candice lives in the snowy north of Sinnoh, the only protection she seemingly has from the weather is the sweater tied around her waist and her long socks.
* In {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}, Candice is the only Sinnoh [[Gym Leader]] to use two Pokémon within the same [[evolution|evolutionary line]] on her team ({{p|Snover}} and {{p|Abomasnow}}).
* All of Candice's Pokémon in Diamond and Pearl are Pokémon that have [[gender differences]].
* The highest-leveled Pokémon in Candice's team differs between every battle.
* In {{v2|Platinum}}, Candice is the only Gym Leader whose [[Battleground]] rematch team contains only Pokémon which are in the [[List of Pokémon by Sinnoh Pokédex number|Sinnoh Dex]].
* Candice's speaking of herself in the third person is somewhat a mistranslation: in Japanese, a person using their own name in place of "I" indicates femininity, whereas in English it is typically considered {{wp|illeism}}.
* Despite Candice stating that she is different than other Ice-type Gym Leaders in that she is warm and friendly instead of cold and distant, this is exactly how she acts in the [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Adventure!]] manga.

Blueknightex: /* Champions are Elite Four members? */

==Sprites==
Where are the sprites of Will and Karen from? Rahin 19:00, 2 October 2007 (UTC)

:Probably Pie. [[User:TinaTheKirlia|Tina]][[User talk:TinaTheKirlia|The]][[Kirlia (Pokémon)|Kirlia]] ♥ 01:38, 1 October 2007 (UTC)

:::::::That's true [[User:Yinyang1195|Rahin]][[User talk:Yinyang1195|Talk]] 21:14, 3 October 2007 (UTC)

Wait, those sprites are by Coronis. They're from Serebii.net's manga bios section. I hope we have permission to use them... --[[User:Manga-in-a-bottle|Manga-in-a-bottle]] 21:25, 3 October 2007 (UTC)

:I don't see why we're using the FR/LG sprites (and some fan-made ones as well) in the GSC section when we use the game-specific sprites in ''every other trainer class''. [[User:IIMarckus|IIMarckus]] 04:31, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

==Type relationships==
Dark - Ghost - Ice - Dragon = Dark beats Ghost, Ghost doesn't beat any type here or is resistant to any, Ice beats Dragon, Dragon does not have a type advantage

Bug - Ground - Fire - Psychic = Bug beats Psychic, Ground beats Fire, Fire beats Bug, Psychic has no advantage.

So technically, if Generation III has a missing link (Ghost and Ice), and considering Generation IV does not have a consistent relationship (i.e. the type before beats the previous or the type after beats next type) and also has a missing link (Psychic)then shouldn't both Generations' Elite Fours' types be considered to have a relationship? They're both pretty loose relationships. {{unsigned|Evvy}}

== Needs to be less ambiguous ==

From the article:
*[[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire|Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire and]] [[Pokémon Emerald|Emerald]] are the only games in the series where only the champion has Pokémon of a different type. Though [[Wallace]] is the champion in Emerald and all his Pokémon are {{t|water}}.
This needs to be made clearer. If by "different type" it means "not one consistent type", then Emerald shouldn't be included, but all of the Kanto and Sinnoh games should. I can't see any meaning of the phrase which would only include the Hoenn games and nothing else. But I'm posting it here before editing in case I've misunderstood. [[User:Flicky|Fli]][[User talk:Flicky|cky]][[User:Flicky/Latin|1991]] 19:31, 13 August 2008 (UTC)

== Lance's Deviation from Dragon-types. ==

In Generation II, Lance has a Charizard (Fire/Flying-type) even though he is a Dragon-type trainer. I added that to the Trivia. [[User:Sting the Trainer|Sting the Trainer]] 22:37, 18 March 2009 (UTC)
:Due to the lack of X-type Pokemon, the Generation II Elite Four often has Y-type Pokemon with X-type characteristics. See whats-her-face and the Vileplume, and Bruno with half of his. — [[User talk:The dark lord trombonator|THE TROM]] — 22:51, 18 March 2009 (UTC)

Still, Lance's speciality in G/S/C is undenably FLYING. His ENTIRE TEAM is made of Flying types. If they wanted him to be Dragon, they could have given him a Dragonair or a Kingdra in place of one of his Dragonite Trio.[[User:Raikaria|Raikaria]] 09:02, 14 April 2011 (UTC)

==Note==
I seem to notice that {{game|Crystal}}'s the only game not mentioned on the Generation II and IV section for the Johto Elite Four. -[[User:Tyler53841|Tyler53841]] 16:38, 23 September 2009 (UTC)
:It is now. [[User:Diablocon|Diablocon]] 17:25, 23 September 2009 (UTC)

For Generation I elite four members, we don't have any challenge sprites for them, because the game hasn't provided them yet. But can't we use Lance's, Bruno's, and Blue's challenge sprites from Generation IV? ----[[User:Zewis29|Zewis29]] ([[User talk:Zewis29|Talk]], [[Special:Contributions/Zewis29|Contribs]]) 17:00, 5 July 2010 (UTC)

This misinformation is so bizarre that I didn't want to delete it, as someone must have a reason to believe it. Normal? Rock? Grass? Am I misunderstanding this? [[User:Colintron|Colintron]] 14:56, 10 October 2010 (UTC)
:Flint has a Lopunny, Bruno has an Onix, and Cynthia has a Roserade.

Even so, the trivia's wrong. Blue can have Jolteon in Yellow.--[[User:Cold|Cold]] ([[User talk:Cold|talk]]) 14:59, 10 October 2010 (UTC)
::OH, 'represented' in that fashion. I thought it meant as the leader's favoured type. I'd suggest we improve the wording, but the Jolteon thing trumps it anyway. [[User:Colintron|Colintron]] 15:05, 10 October 2010 (UTC)

==Psuedo-legendary Pokémon==
Is it worth noting that the Isshu Elite Four/Champion is the only one not to use a psuedo-legendary Pokémon anywhere in their parties on the first battle? --[[User:Nebula|Nebula]] 01:43, 12 October 2010 (UTC)

== Do we need...? ==

First, do we really need the Pokémon list for each member? And the Japanese name? (Except for the Isshu ones for now, of course.) It's information that's better suited for each character's individual page (and of course it's already there), and it just seems to serve as a way to make the tables bigger so they don't look too thin on the page. I suggest we just drop both of those and leave only sprite,( English) name, and specialty type, and make the tables horizontal (sort of like the templates we already use, but with the type).
Less trivially, should we include the [[Champion]]s here? AFAIK they're not actually members of the Elite Four, and they ''do'' have their own page...s (We should do something about that too.) --'''[[User:Memo326|Memo]]'''[[User talk:Memo326|326]] 23:49, 18 October 2010 (UTC)
:What's wrong with their original names being there? [[User:Ataro|Ataro]] 23:59, 18 October 2010 (UTC)
::I agree with both Memo and Ataro, I think that we should drop the Pokemon Lists (sprites) for each member, as they are just taking up space. However, I think that we should leave the Japanese names there. The games originate in Japan, so having their Japanese (original) names there is important. Also I think that we should include the Champions here, as they need to be battled to defeat the game, and are therefore, honorary members of the Elite Four (and sometimes former members of the Elite Four). So in closing, I think that we should include their Sprite, Japanese Name, English Name, and Specialty Type. --[[User:Jediknightdtv|JediKnight]][[User talk:Jediknightdtv|DTV]] 00:12, 19 October 2010 (UTC)
:::Not taking either side here, but some people just type in "Elite Four" when looking for information and trying to beat their game. The party lists save them the trouble of clicking to get to the individual pages.--[[User:Cold|Cold]] ([[User talk:Cold|talk]]) 00:16, 19 October 2010 (UTC)

== gen v rematch addons ==

in the rematches vs the isshu elite four, they each get one gen iii pokémon and one gen iv pokémon, with the exception of shikimi who has frosslass (which is from a gen iii family) instead. also pre-rematch rembu's team is all pure fighting, that's a first right? [[User:Kanjo|Kanjo]] 13:53, 12 November 2010 (UTC)

== Gen V Elite Four Trivia ==

Let's take the numbers of previous Elites who used the types used in Gen V, in order of appearance:

Ghost- Agatha (third) and Phoebe (second) 3+2=5

Dark- Karen (fourth) and Sidney (first) 4+1=5

Psychic- Will (first) and Lucian (fourth) 1+4=5

Fighting- Bruno (second) and Bruno again (third) 2+3=5

All of them sum up to 5. Fifth generation.

Is this enough to appear in trivia?--[[User:Saxton Hale|Saxton Hale]] 22:57, 3 December 2010 (UTC)
:You make no sense. Agatha is the third what? Phoebe is the second what? You need to be more specific. --[[User:HoennMaster|Hoenn]][[User talk:HoennMaster|Master]] 00:18, 4 December 2010 (UTC)
::Order of appearance in the Elite 4, it makes sense. [[User:Miscs|Miscs]] 11:48, 13 December 2010 (UTC)

== Inconsistancy Between Steven and Alder ==

Steven's speciality is listed as Steel. He has a team of 6, and only 3 are Steel Types.

Alder is listed as Various. He has a Team of 6, and 3 are Bugs.

Notice the inconsistancy here? Either Steven should be listed as Various, or Alder should be listed as Bug.[[User:Raikaria|Raikaria]] 09:01, 14 April 2011 (UTC)
:Steven specializing in Steel-type Pokémon is openly stated (for example, see his Trainer's Eyes or Match Call). Alder is never stated to specialize in Bug-type Pokémon. Also, not that it really affects anything, but as a tag partner Steven only uses Steel-type Pokémon. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 10:37, 14 April 2011 (UTC)

== Unova Elite Four order ==

The current ordering we have appears to be from left to right. But it is unofficial, and the closest thing to an official ordering is the order described on the statue at the Pokemon League (which goes Shauntal, Marshall, Grimsley, then Caitlin. Shouldnt this one be used? '''X'''[[User:Vuvuzela2010|'''Vuvuzela2010''']]'''X''' 17:09, 14 August 2011 (UTC)

::This elite four has no particular order so why does it matter.

== Champions are Elite Four members? ==

"''The Elite Four (Japanese: 四天王 Four Heavenly Kings) are four Pokémon Trainers who are regarded as the toughest in their regional Pokémon League,...''"

Then why are the Champions included here? They're not part of the Elite Four nor are they members. We should say that Elite Four members must be defeated before facing the Pokemon League champion of each region. They we could put the Pokemon that they used on the [[Pokémon Champion]] article.[[User:Blueknightex|Blueknightex]] 08:15, 2 May 2012 (UTC)

They may not be Elite Four per say, but they do head the Pokemon League and are battled directly after the Elite Four, so they are pretty much Elite Four in everything but name. Besides people are going to go to the Elite Four page and expect to be able to see each league's Champion. Trying to change this now on a technicality seems foolish and unnecessary.
[[User:CoolDudeAl|CoolDudeAl]] 22:51, 4 May 2012 (UTC)
:How do they head the Pokemon League? Is it said in the Manga or anime that they head them?
: ''"Besides people are going to go to the Elite Four page and expect to be able to see each league's Champion"''
:- But isn't this site an encyclopedia? Not a strategy guide or anything? So who cares what people want to see. The information listed should at least be accurate. Its not foolish and unnecessary when this site should be aiming to be more resourceful as an online encyclopedia. [[User:Blueknightex|Blueknightex]] 00:43, 6 May 2012 (UTC)

I see that the other editors have finally made changes on this page. Thank you :) [[User:Blueknightex|Blueknightex]] 00:49, 6 May 2012 (UTC)

== Champion/Elite Four thoughts ==

Champions may not technically be Elite Four members, but should still be one the page as they are battled directly after the Elite Four and are an Elite Four Member in everything but name. Lance even moved up from the final Elite Four member to Champion from Red/Blue to Gold/Silver. Thus, they should be on the page.
[[User:CoolDudeAl|CoolDudeAl]] 23:04, 4 May 2012 (UTC)
:I beg to differ. The Champion has been isolated from the Elite Four in the games so we should treat it as such. This statement is supported from a quote by [[Lucian]] ''Congratulations. You have beaten the Elite Four.''. Several other final Elite Four members have said quotes along those lines as well. Just because the champion is battled directly after, it does not mean it should be included here. That's what the [[Champion]] page is for.

==Psuedo-legendary Pokémon==
Is it worth noting that the Isshu Elite Four/Champion is the only one not to use a psuedo-legendary Pokémon anywhere in their parties on the first battle? --[[User:Nebula|Nebula]] 01:43, 12 October 2010 (UTC)

== Do we need...? ==

First, do we really need the Pokémon list for each member? And the Japanese name? (Except for the Isshu ones for now, of course.) It's information that's better suited for each character's individual page (and of course it's already there), and it just seems to serve as a way to make the tables bigger so they don't look too thin on the page. I suggest we just drop both of those and leave only sprite,( English) name, and specialty type, and make the tables horizontal (sort of like the templates we already use, but with the type).
Less trivially, should we include the [[Champion]]s here? AFAIK they're not actually members of the Elite Four, and they ''do'' have their own page...s (We should do something about that too.) --'''[[User:Memo326|Memo]]'''[[User talk:Memo326|326]] 23:49, 18 October 2010 (UTC)
:What's wrong with their original names being there? [[User:Ataro|Ataro]] 23:59, 18 October 2010 (UTC)
::I agree with both Memo and Ataro, I think that we should drop the Pokemon Lists (sprites) for each member, as they are just taking up space. However, I think that we should leave the Japanese names there. The games originate in Japan, so having their Japanese (original) names there is important. Also I think that we should include the Champions here, as they need to be battled to defeat the game, and are therefore, honorary members of the Elite Four (and sometimes former members of the Elite Four). So in closing, I think that we should include their Sprite, Japanese Name, English Name, and Specialty Type. --[[User:Jediknightdtv|JediKnight]][[User talk:Jediknightdtv|DTV]] 00:12, 19 October 2010 (UTC)
:::Not taking either side here, but some people just type in "Elite Four" when looking for information and trying to beat their game. The party lists save them the trouble of clicking to get to the individual pages.--[[User:Cold|Cold]] ([[User talk:Cold|talk]]) 00:16, 19 October 2010 (UTC)

== gen v rematch addons ==

in the rematches vs the isshu elite four, they each get one gen iii pokémon and one gen iv pokémon, with the exception of shikimi who has frosslass (which is from a gen iii family) instead. also pre-rematch rembu's team is all pure fighting, that's a first right? [[User:Kanjo|Kanjo]] 13:53, 12 November 2010 (UTC)
:Froslass counts as Gen IV, so that trivia can be added. However, Renbu's trivia can go on his own page. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 08:03, 27 December 2010 (UTC)

== Gen V Elite Four Trivia ==

Let's take the numbers of previous Elites who used the types used in Gen V, in order of appearance:

Ghost- Agatha (third) and Phoebe (second) 3+2=5

Dark- Karen (fourth) and Sidney (first) 4+1=5

Psychic- Will (first) and Lucian (fourth) 1+4=5

Fighting- Bruno (second) and Bruno again (third) 2+3=5

All of them sum up to 5. Fifth generation.

Is this enough to appear in trivia?--[[User:Saxton Hale|Saxton Hale]] 22:57, 3 December 2010 (UTC)
:You make no sense. Agatha is the third what? Phoebe is the second what? You need to be more specific. --[[User:HoennMaster|Hoenn]][[User talk:HoennMaster|Master]] 00:18, 4 December 2010 (UTC)
::Order of appearance in the Elite 4, it makes sense. [[User:Miscs|Miscs]] 11:48, 13 December 2010 (UTC)
:::That is interesting. I think that it could be added, as long as it is explained clearer than you did there (see HoennMaster's confusion). --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 08:03, 27 December 2010 (UTC)

== Inconsistancy Between Steven and Alder ==

Steven's speciality is listed as Steel. He has a team of 6, and only 3 are Steel Types.

Alder is listed as Various. He has a Team of 6, and 3 are Bugs.

Notice the inconsistancy here? Either Steven should be listed as Various, or Alder should be listed as Bug.[[User:Raikaria|Raikaria]] 09:01, 14 April 2011 (UTC)
:Steven specializing in Steel-type Pokémon is openly stated (for example, see his Trainer's Eyes or Match Call). Alder is never stated to specialize in Bug-type Pokémon. Also, not that it really affects anything, but as a tag partner Steven only uses Steel-type Pokémon. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 10:37, 14 April 2011 (UTC)

== Unova Elite Four order ==

The current ordering we have appears to be from left to right. But it is unofficial, and the closest thing to an official ordering is the order described on the statue at the Pokemon League (which goes Shauntal, Marshall, Grimsley, then Caitlin. Shouldnt this one be used? '''X'''[[User:Vuvuzela2010|'''Vuvuzela2010''']]'''X''' 17:09, 14 August 2011 (UTC)
:Yeah, I'd follow the order listed on the statue. [[User:Han Ji-Wan|Han Ji-Wan]] 17:12, 14 August 2011 (UTC)
::This elite four has no particular order so why does it matter. Besides I think it's listed in this order because the official game guide lists the elite four in that order (Shantal, Grimsley, Caitlin, and Marshall). So I think the way it is is fine. [[User:Pokemaster97|--Pokemaster]][[User talk:Pokemaster97|97]] 17:53, 14 August 2011 (UTC)
:::Completely in favour of this. Also, [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Elite_Four&diff=1214297&oldid=1212787 apparently] that is the order they are in internally as well. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 11:38, 15 August 2011 (UTC)

== Alder ==
I think that Alder's type should be '''Bug and Various''' Because he has three Bug-type Pokémon, we can deduce it as a preference.

== Champions are Elite Four members? ==

"''The Elite Four (Japanese: 四天王 Four Heavenly Kings) are four Pokémon Trainers who are regarded as the toughest in their regional Pokémon League,...''"

Then why are the Champions included here? They're not part of the Elite Four nor are they members. We should say that Elite Four members must be defeated before facing the Pokemon League champion of each region. They we could put the Pokemon that they used on the [[Pokémon Champion]] article.[[User:Blueknightex|Blueknightex]] 08:15, 2 May 2012 (UTC)

They may not be Elite Four per say, but they do head the Pokemon League and are battled directly after the Elite Four, so they are pretty much Elite Four in everything but name. Besides people are going to go to the Elite Four page and expect to be able to see each league's Champion. Trying to change this now on a technicality seems foolish and unnecessary.
[[User:CoolDudeAl|CoolDudeAl]] 22:51, 4 May 2012 (UTC)
:How do they head the Pokemon League? Is it said in the Manga or anime that they head them?
: ''"Besides people are going to go to the Elite Four page and expect to be able to see each league's Champion"''
:- But isn't this site an encyclopedia? Not a strategy guide or anything? So who cares what people want to see. The information listed should at least be accurate. Its not foolish and unnecessary when this site should be aiming to be more resourceful as an online encyclopedia. [[User:Blueknightex|Blueknightex]] 00:43, 6 May 2012 (UTC)

== Champion/Elite Four thoughts ==

Champions may not technically be Elite Four members, but should still be one the page as they are battled directly after the Elite Four and are an Elite Four Member in everything but name. Lance even moved up from the final Elite Four member to Champion from Red/Blue to Gold/Silver. Thus, they should be on the page.
[[User:CoolDudeAl|CoolDudeAl]] 23:04, 4 May 2012 (UTC)
:I beg to differ. The Champion has been isolated from the Elite Four in the games so we should treat it as such. This statement is supported from a quote by [[Lucian]] ''Congratulations. You have beaten the Elite Four.''. Several other final Elite Four members have said quotes along those lines as well. Just because the champion is battled directly after, it does not mean it should be included here. That's what the [[Champion]] page is for.

'''Candice''' (Japanese: '''スズナ''' ''Suzuna'') is the [[Gym Leader]] of [[Snowpoint City]]'s [[Gym]], known officially as the [[Snowpoint Gym]]. She hands out the {{Badge|Icicle}} to {{pkmn|Trainer}}s who defeat her. She specializes in {{type2|Ice}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}.

==In the games==
Candice uses {{type2|Ice}} Pokémon in her battles. Trainers who defeat her will receive the {{badge|Icicle}}, {{TM|72|Avalanche}}, and will be able to use {{m|Rock Climb}} outside of battle. Candice teaches that before battling with Pokémon, a person needs to befriend them first. Candice has an interest in fashion and romance as well as Pokémon, and believes a person should put all their focus into whatever they do. She sometimes muses that she acts the opposite of the way people would expect an Ice-type Gym Leader to behave - warm and friendly instead of [[Pryce|cold and distant]]. She also seems to enjoy talking in third person.

She later allows the player entry into the [[Snowpoint Temple]], and, in {{v2|Platinum}}, will appear occasionally for rematches at the [[Battleground]].

In Platinum, [[Maylene]] mentions in Snowpoint's [[Pokémon Center]] that she admires Candice for being studious. She also mentions that Candice wanted to practice against her to learn about the {{type|Fighting}} because of it being a weakness of {{type|Ice}} Pokémon.

==In the anime==
[[File:Candice anime.png|250px|Candice in the anime|thumb|left]]
Candice made her debut appearance in ''[[DP126|Classroom Training!]]'' where she was revealed to be a teacher in [[Snowpoint City]]'s Trainers' School. She is also a childhood friend of [[Zoey]] and calls her by the nickname "Zo-Zo" (Japanese: '''ノゾチ''' ''Nozotchi'').

Ash battled her in ''[[DP127|Sliding Into Seventh!]]'', where he defeated her and earned the {{badge|Icicle}}. She also appeared in ''[[DP128|A Pyramiding Rage!]]''. [[Paul]] challenged her to a Gym battle in ''[[DP128|A Pyramiding Rage!]]'' where it took place off-screen between the aforementioned episode and ''[[DP131|Pedal to the Mettle!]]'' The winner of the match was Paul as said in the next episode.

She made another appearance in ''[[DP155|Double-Time Battle Training!]]'' where she watches Zoey win the Brussel Town Contest, and her 5th Contest Ribbon. She helps Dawn prepare for the Daybreak Contest with Zoey. In ''[[DP161|Yes, in Dee Dee It's Dawn!]]'' she and Zoey were watching Dawn's performance on TV.

She also made another brief cameo in ''[[DP177|A Grand Fight for Winning!]]'' watching {{an|Dawn}} and Zoey compete in the [[Sinnoh Grand Festival]] on television.

===[[Pokémon Adventures]]===
[[File:Volkner Candice Adventures.png|thumb|215px|Candice and her {{p|Froslass}} with [[Volkner]] and his {{p|Electivire}}]]
She first appeared in {{rt|217|Sinnoh}} saving {{adv|Platinum}} when she fell from her skis after angering a pack of {{p|Graveler}}. Eventually, Platinum challenged her to a gym battle, where her {{p|Snover}} double-KO'd with [[Platinum's Empoleon]], and her {{p|Froslass}} took over to fight [[Platinum's Rapidash]]. At first, the newly evolved Fire Horse Pokémon seemed to take the lead against Froslass' ineffective {{t|Ice}} attacks, but Candice soon realized that Platinum's real objective wasn't to win the gym badge sincerely, but rather to get it over with so she can protect {{p|Uxie}} at [[Lake Acuity]]. Upon this realization, she ordered Froslass to attack with a {{m|Wake-Up Slap}} and deal massive damage on the {{m|Rest|sleeping}} Rapidash, and then withdrew Froslass before switching out to Abomasnow. Losing motivation, she asked the [[Sinnoh]] Pokémon League chairman if she could stop the battle, but ended up continuing anyway. With Rapidash close to fainting, Platinum switched out to her new capture, {{p|Lopunny}}, who was surprisingly able to defeat the massive bulk, but eventually was beaten by Froslass. As Candice gloated over her seeming victory, however, it was discovered that Lopunny used {{m|Healing Wish}} to revitalize Rapidash (fainting in the process), who, with a surprise attack, took out Candice's last Pokémon, winning the battle.

Afterwards, she awarded Platinum the Icicle Badge, and the two traveled together to Lake Acuity with [[Maylene]] to protect Uxie, only to be promptly defeated by [[Jupiter]]'s superior brawn and tactics. She later called Byron and told him to send them someone to train them in so that they can become stronger. After some difficulty with their new trainer, Volkner, Platinum managed to convince him to train them. At the Spear Pillar she, along with Maylene, fought Jupiter a second time, this time defeating her. She along with her fellow Gym Leaders fought Cyrus and managed to break his Red Chain but brought upon themselves the wrath of Cyrus with it and were defeated.

She first successfully hit the Rabbit Pokémon with an {{m|Ice Shard}}, but it could stand it. Despite being an inexperienced member of her team, Lopunny was swiftly able to avoid the massive Pokémon's {{m|Focus Blast}}s, and to defeat her with a nimble {{m|Jump Kick}}.

After the Gym battle, she was taken to [[Lake Acuity]] where she was defeated by [[Jupiter]]. Later, at the Spear Pillar, Candice gave her to Platinum.

===[[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Adventure!|Pokémon DP]]===
[[File:Candice DPA.png|thumb|right|100px|Candice in Diamond and Pearl Adventure!]]

Candice makes an appearance in ''[[DPA10|A Novel Test!]]'', where she gives [[Hareta]] a test to see if he can defeat [[Team Galactic]]. Candice sends out all three of her golems. She uses Regice and Regirock in a double battle. Candice was a tough opponent that Hareta faced as her golems's {{a|Clear Body|ability}} negated {{p|Luxio}}'s {{a|Intimidate}}. In the myst of the battle, her Regirock buries Hareta's {{p|Riolu}} in an avalanche. However, just when Candice was about to walk away, Riolu [[Evolution|evolves]] into a {{p|Lucario}} and defeats both of her golems single-handedly. After the battle, Candice takes Hareta to the Snowpoint Temple. It turns out that the test that Candice gave to Hareta was to determine if he was able to obtain {{TP|Hareta|Regigigas}}

====Pokémon====
These are the Pokémon that Candice is known to have:

==Trivia==
* Even though Candice lives in the snowy north of Sinnoh, the only protection she seemingly has from the weather is the sweater tied around her waist and her long socks.
* Candice was the only Gym Leader from Sinnoh that {{Ash}} had a 4-on-4 battle with.
* In {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}, Candice is the only Sinnoh [[Gym Leader]] to use two Pokémon within the same [[evolution|evolutionary line]] on her team ({{p|Snover}} and {{p|Abomasnow}}).
* All of Candice's Pokémon in Diamond and Pearl are Pokémon that have [[gender differences]].
* The highest-leveled Pokémon in Candice's team differs between every battle.
* In {{v2|Platinum}}, Candice is the only Gym Leader whose [[Battleground]] rematch team contains only Pokémon which are in the [[List of Pokémon by Sinnoh Pokédex number|Sinnoh Dex]].
* Candice's speaking of herself in the third person is somewhat a mistranslation: in Japanese, a person using their own name in place of "I" indicates femininity, whereas in English it is typically considered {{wp|illeism}}.
* Despite Candice stating that she is different than other Ice-type Gym Leaders in that she is warm and friendly instead of cold and distant, this is exactly how she acts in the [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Adventure!]] manga.

'''Pryce''' (Japanese: '''ヤナギ''' ''Yanagi'') is the [[Gym Leader]] of [[Mahogany Town]]'s [[Gym]], known officially as the [[Mahogany Gym]]. He is an expert in {{type2|Ice}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. He gives the {{Badge|Glacier}} to {{pkmn|Trainer}}s who defeat him at his Gym.

==In the games==
[[Image:Gold Silver Pryce.png|140px|thumb|left|Headshot of Pryce from {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}]]
Pryce appears in {{game5|Gold|Silver|Crystal|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, where he is the seventh Gym Leader to be challenged in the Johto region. A specialist of the {{type2|Ice}}, Pryce is known as "The Teacher of Winter's Harshness". Pryce is the oldest Gym Leader players will face in the games: he has been training Pokémon for over fifty years, and the Pokémon he battles with have been with him since before {{ga|Ethan}}, {{ga|Kris}}, and {{ga|Lyra}} were born. The secret behind his power is—like [[Chuck]]—his daily meditation under a waterfall. Pryce claims that this strengthens both his body and his mind.

Pryce's [[Mahogany Gym]] cannot be challenged the first time the player arrives in [[Mahogany Town]]. A man is blocking entry to the Gym: he will only leave once [[Team Rocket]] has been defeated at their [[Team Rocket HQ|headquarters]] and the {{p|Gyarados}} at the nearby [[Lake of Rage]] have been calmed. Once an icy maze inside the Gym has been traversed, Pryce will battle with the player. Upon defeat, he will yield both the {{badge|Glacier}}, and an Ice-type Technical Machine. This varies from generation to generation: {{TM|16|Icy Wind}} will be given in Generation II, and {{TM|07|Hail}} is given in Generation IV.

Like all Gym Leaders in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, Pryce will often travel outside of his Gym. Every morning between 7:00 AM and 10:00 AM, he will head north to the Lake of Rage's west shore. Here, he awaits the player and will give out his [[Pokégear]] phone number so the two can battle again in future. This battle will take place on Monday mornings, in [[Saffron City]]'s [[Fighting Dojo]].

Pryce also appears in [[Pokémon Stadium 2]]'s Johto [[Gym Leader Castle]]. Like other Gym Leaders' teams in this game, he uses a variety of Pokémon not of his specialist type. Uniquely, Pryce uses a [[legendary Pokémon]]: the {{2t|Ice|Flying}} [[legendary bird]], {{p|Articuno}}.

*Pryce calling the player:
:''"Yes, this is Pryce. How are you doing? Just like one of my children... No. You’re more like one of my grandchildren... There’s such an age difference between myself and the Trainers who defeat me nowadays... But you know, the strange thing is that when I lose, I don’t feel disappointed. I just feel happy. Just happy that such talented Trainers have come to see me. ...I just wanted to talk to someone about that, so I called you. That’s all."''

:''"Yes, this is Pryce. How are you doing? Do you know why they call me the winter Trainer? Do you recall that my middle name is “Willow”? The willow tree looks like it withers in winter’s cold.

==In the anime==
[[File:Pryce anime.png|thumb|left|Pryce in the anime]]
Pryce appeared in three episodes of the [[Pokémon anime]]. He had a cameo appearance in ''[[EP236|Rage of Innocence]]'', and he was featured as the Gym Leader of Mahogany Town in ''[[EP237|As Cold as Pryce]]'' and ''[[EP238|Nice Pryce, Baby!]]''.

In the anime, Pryce was a champion Trainer in his youth, but was severely burned in a battle. While he was bedridden, his {{TP|Pryce|Piloswine}} went out the door during a severe snow storm and never came back. He believed it had abandoned him, and he grew bitter. He became more cold-hearted and believed that Pokémon are for battling and nothing more. Because of this, he refused to fight {{Ash}}, thinking him to be a weak {{pkmn|Trainer}}. When Ash compelled him to a battle, Pryce finally accepted. Using his {{p|Dewgong}}, he beat [[Ash's Donphan|Ash's Phanpy]] easily.

[[File:Young Pryce.png|thumb|Pryce in his youth]]
Later when Ash again tried to talk Pryce into a battle, they stumbled onto a cave where they found Pryce's Piloswine frozen in ice. It had some plants that aided in the healing of burns. It was then that Pryce realized that Piloswine had gone in search of medicine for him, and only the snow storm trapping the Pokémon in ice prevented it from returning to him. Piloswine was defrosted and on being reunited with Piloswine, Pryce lost his cold-heartedness and became happy again.

The next morning, Ash battled Pryce in a gym battle. After a fierce battle, Pryce forfeited as his Piloswine became tired and he knew it would serve no purpose to keep going.

In ''[[EP238|Nice Pryce, Baby!]]'' Pryce used Piloswine during his Gym battle with Ash. It easily defeated [[Ash's Quilava|Ash's Cyndaquil]] and fought fiercely against [[Ash's Pikachu]] until Pryce forfeited as Piloswine was becoming tired, earning Ash the {{badge|Glacier}}.}}

==In the Pokémon Adventures manga==
{{spoilers}}
[[File:Pryce Adventures.png|right|thumb|Pryce in Pokémon Adventures]]
Pryce is a frail man confined to a wheelchair. He rarely leaves his gym, and uses his Pokémon to create fantastic ice sculptures. With the use of his Pokémon, he also makes it appear like the sculptures can move and attack. That is how he simulated a battle against {{p|Suicune}} while fooling those who were invited over to watch, including [[Whitney]] and [[DJ Mary]].

Despite his frailness, he is still the representative of the Johto Gym Leaders and was thus automatically pitted against [[Erika]], who represented Kanto's Gym Leaders, in the exhibition match which he won.

However, he has a sinister side—he is also the criminal mastermind [[Masked Man]].

He kidnapped {{adv|Silver}}, {{adv|Green}}, [[Sham]], and [[Carl]] ([[Will]] and [[Karen]] willingly joined him) when they were children. Pryce raised them to be his servants. Even though Green and Silver escaped, he continued to raise the other four as his slaves.

Then, after {{adv|Giovanni}} disbanded [[Team Rocket]], he was able to recruit the now-leaderless Rocket Grunts as his underlings. Some came willingly; others were mind-controlled with masks.

In his youth, Pryce had lost two of his {{p|Lapras}} in an avalanche. He never got over the traumatic event, and it seemed to scar him emotionally. He stopped at nothing to gain {{p|Celebi}}'s power so that he could travel through time and be reunited with his Pokémon.

Unfortunately, the power of Celebi's time travel almost caused the world to freeze over. Apparently, time travel causes temperatures to plummet. {{adv|Gold}} followed Pryce through time and his {{p|Pichu}} destroyed the GS Ball, freeing Celebi.

Pryce vanished in the time vortex. To this day, no one knows what became of him.

==Trivia==
* His Japanese Leader title is {{tt|冬の厳しさを教える者|Teacher of Winter's Harshness}}.
* Pryce is the only Gym Leader that forfeited to {{Ash}}.
* In the games, Pryce is the only male Johto Gym Leader to have a {{cat|Generation II Pokémon}}. Each of the other four male Johto Gym Leaders have only {{cat|Generation I Pokémon}}.
* He is one of two Johto Gym Leaders to have lost to Ash in a second battle; him in an official Gym battle (via TKO; the first was an unofficial one-on-one battle—Dewgong vs. Phanpy); the other being Whitney in a Gym battle rematch.
* Pryce appears as an opponent in [[Pokémon Puzzle Challenge]]. He uses a {{p|Seel}} in battle.
* Pryce is the only Gym Leader whose highest-leveled Pokémon is at a lower level than the highest-leveled Pokémon of [[Jasmine|the Gym Leader before him]].
* As stated by in-battle dialogue in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, and later during random calls on the [[Pokégear]], Pryce's middle name is Willow, which also happens to be his Japanese name's translation.
* In [[Generation II]], a {{tc|Boarder}} in Pryce's Gym states that the secret to Pryce's power is his daily meditation under a waterfall. In [[Generation IV]], this is changed to his sitting on top of "very cold ice".
** This may be because in [[Generation IV]] [[Chuck]] trains through meditation under a waterfall.
* Pryce was the first Gym Leader to be introduced in the series who specializes with {{type2|Ice}} Pokémon, the others that followed were [[Candice]] and [[Brycen]]. Coincidentally, all three are also the seventh [[Gym Leader]]s whom the player faces in their respective regions.

'''Brycen''' (Japanese: '''ハチク''' ''Hachiku'') is the [[Gym Leader]] of [[Icirrus City]]'s Gym, known officially as the [[Icirrus Gym]]. He specializes in {{type2|Ice}} Pokémon. He gives the {{badge|Freeze}} to Trainers who defeat him.

==In the games==
Brycen appears in {{game|Black and White|s}} as the [[Gym Leader]] of Icirrus City's Gym. This Gym will be the seventh to be challenged by the player. Trainers who defeat Brycen will receive the Freeze Badge, along with {{TM|79|Frost Breath}}. He also reappears at [[N's Castle]] where he and the other [[Unova]] Gym Leaders hold off the [[Seven Sages]].

After successfully defeating Brycen in a Gym battle, [[Cheren]] and [[Bianca]] are waiting for the player outside of the Gym. Brycen notices Shadow Triad, who are invisible to everyone else, and demands they reveal themselves. The Shadow Triad does so and tells the player to head to [[Dragonspiral Tower]].

Once at the Dragonspiral Tower, the player must battle through Team Plasma Grunts to reach the top. At one point Brycen and Cheren stay behind to hold off Team Plasma while the player goes ahead. After the player reaches the top floor and N flies away with Zekrom{{sup|Bl}}/Reshiram{{sup|W}}, Brycen arrives and asks what happened. Later, Brycen helps [[Cedric Juniper]] investigate Dragonspiral Tower.

In the past, Brycen was a movie star, but grew bored of making films. Unsure of what to do with himself, he took the advice of [[Alder]] and became a {{pkmn|Trainer}}. He traveled alone to an icy cave and trained in silence to gain as much knowledge as possible. Brycen also places importance on concealing his true identity from others.

[[File:Brycen Adventures.png|thumb|right|130px|Brycen in Pokémon Adventures]]
Brycen, along with his fellow Gym Leaders, appears at the [[Celestial Tower]] to discuss what to do about Team Plasma. Later, he and the other Gym Leaders faced the [[Shadow Triad]] in [[Nacrene City]] to protect the Dark Stone from being stolen. Despite having the upper hand with his techniques, Brycen and the other Gym Leaders fell to the Shadow Triad's trump card, the [[Kami trio]].

However, Brycen managed to escape the tornado created by the Kami trio while the other Gym Leaders were taken away. After finding an unconscious Black after he was knocked out by a Team Plasma member, he takes the boy with the intent to train him.

==Trivia==
* His Japanese Leader title is {{tt|アイスマスク|Ice mask}}.
* Brycen is the third Gym Leader who specializes in the {{type2|Ice}} Pokémon, along with [[Pryce]] and [[Candice]]. Coincidentally, they were also the seventh Gym Leaders whom the player faces in their respective regions.
** All three Gym Leaders have their names based around the word "ice."
* Brycen is the only {{type|Ice}} [[Type specialist|specialist]] to have a team consisting of only pure Ice-type Pokémon.
* Incidentally, in the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga, the villain codenamed "[[Masked Man|Mask of Ice]]" has a name similar to Brycen's leader title.

'''Pryce''' (Japanese: '''ヤナギ''' ''Yanagi'') is the [[Gym Leader]] of [[Mahogany Town]]'s [[Gym]], known officially as the [[Mahogany Gym]]. He is an expert in {{type2|Ice}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. He gives the {{Badge|Glacier}} to {{pkmn|Trainer}}s who defeat him at his Gym.

==In the games==
[[Image:Gold Silver Pryce.png|140px|thumb|left|Headshot of Pryce from {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}]]
Pryce appears in {{game5|Gold|Silver|Crystal|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, where he is the seventh Gym Leader to be challenged in the Johto region. A specialist of the {{type2|Ice}}, Pryce is known as "The Teacher of Winter's Harshness". Pryce is the oldest Gym Leader players will face in the games: he has been training Pokémon for over fifty years, and the Pokémon he battles with have been with him since before {{ga|Ethan}}, {{ga|Kris}}, and {{ga|Lyra}} were born. The secret behind his power is—like [[Chuck]]—his daily meditation under a waterfall. Pryce claims that this strengthens both his body and his mind.

Pryce's [[Mahogany Gym]] cannot be challenged the first time the player arrives in [[Mahogany Town]]. A man is blocking entry to the Gym: he will only leave once [[Team Rocket]] has been defeated at their [[Team Rocket HQ|headquarters]] and the {{p|Gyarados}} at the nearby [[Lake of Rage]] have been calmed. Once an icy maze inside the Gym has been traversed, Pryce will battle with the player. Upon defeat, he will yield both the {{badge|Glacier}}, and an Ice-type Technical Machine. This varies from generation to generation: {{TM|16|Icy Wind}} will be given in Generation II, and {{TM|07|Hail}} is given in Generation IV.

Like all Gym Leaders in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, Pryce will often travel outside of his Gym. Every morning between 7:00 AM and 10:00 AM, he will head north to the Lake of Rage's west shore. Here, he awaits the player and will give out his [[Pokégear]] phone number so the two can battle again in future. This battle will take place on Monday mornings, in [[Saffron City]]'s [[Fighting Dojo]].

Pryce also appears in [[Pokémon Stadium 2]]'s Johto [[Gym Leader Castle]]. Like other Gym Leaders' teams in this game, he uses a variety of Pokémon not of his specialist type. Uniquely, Pryce uses a [[legendary Pokémon]]: the {{2t|Ice|Flying}} [[legendary bird]], {{p|Articuno}}.

*When defeated

*After battle

:''"And this... This is a gift from me! That TM contains Hail. It summons a hailstorm that lasts for five turns. The hailstorm damages all types except Ice."''

*Pryce calling the player:
:''"Yes, this is Pryce. How are you doing? Just like one of my children... No. You’re more like one of my grandchildren... There’s such an age difference between myself and the Trainers who defeat me nowadays... But you know, the strange thing is that when I lose, I don’t feel disappointed. I just feel happy. Just happy that such talented Trainers have come to see me. ...I just wanted to talk to someone about that, so I called you. That’s all."''

:''"Yes, this is Pryce. How are you doing? Do you know why they call me the winter Trainer? Do you recall that my middle name is “Willow”? The willow tree looks like it withers in winter’s cold. But really, it sprouts dozens of new buds. My fighting style is also strong just like that... It’s written in old books, you know. You should look it up sometime."''

*Calling him:
:''"Hello... Oh, hi, how are you? I'm doing fine, thanks. You know, there are Gym Leaders out there who are stronger than me. You should try battling them. I don't think you'll lose."''

:''"Hello... Oh, hi, how are you? I'm doing fine, thanks. I usually get up pretty early... If we're going to battle, I'm at my best in the morning... How about you give me a call on Monday morning!"''

*On Monday mornings:
:''"Hello... Oh, hi, how are you? I'm doing fine, thanks. Oh, perfect timing... I was starting to get bored... Do you want to battle again?"''
::No: ''"I see. Well, that's how it's got to be... If you ever change your mind, give me a call. Remember, I'm free on Monday mornings."''
::Yes: ''"Honesty is good. So I'll meet you at the Fighting Dojo in Saffron City, then?"''

:''"What? I can’t hear you very well. I think we’ve got a bad connection. Well, if you have something you want to talk to me about, go somewhere else and try calling again."''

==In the anime==
[[File:Pryce anime.png|thumb|left|Pryce in the anime]]
Pryce appeared in three episodes of the [[Pokémon anime]]. He had a cameo appearance in ''[[EP236|Rage of Innocence]]'', and he was featured as the Gym Leader of Mahogany Town in ''[[EP237|As Cold as Pryce]]'' and ''[[EP238|Nice Pryce, Baby!]]''.

In the anime, Pryce was a champion Trainer in his youth, but was severely burned in a battle. While he was bedridden, his {{TP|Pryce|Piloswine}} went out the door during a severe snow storm and never came back. He believed it had abandoned him, and he grew bitter. He became more cold-hearted and believed that Pokémon are for battling and nothing more. Because of this, he refused to fight {{Ash}}, thinking him to be a weak {{pkmn|Trainer}}. When Ash compelled him to a battle, Pryce finally accepted. Using his {{p|Dewgong}}, he beat [[Ash's Donphan|Ash's Phanpy]] easily.

[[File:Young Pryce.png|thumb|Pryce in his youth]]
Later when Ash again tried to talk Pryce into a battle, they stumbled onto a cave where they found Pryce's Piloswine frozen in ice. It had some plants that aided in the healing of burns. It was then that Pryce realized that Piloswine had gone in search of medicine for him, and only the snow storm trapping the Pokémon in ice prevented it from returning to him. Piloswine was defrosted and on being reunited with Piloswine, Pryce lost his cold-heartedness and became happy again.

The next morning, Ash battled Pryce in a gym battle. After a fierce battle, Pryce forfeited as his Piloswine became tired and he knew it would serve no purpose to keep going.

In ''[[EP238|Nice Pryce, Baby!]]'' Pryce used Piloswine during his Gym battle with Ash. It easily defeated [[Ash's Quilava|Ash's Cyndaquil]] and fought fiercely against [[Ash's Pikachu]] until Pryce forfeited as Piloswine was becoming tired, earning Ash the {{badge|Glacier}}.}}

[[File:Pryce Adventures.png|right|thumb|Pryce in Pokémon Adventures]]
Pryce is a frail man confined to a wheelchair. He rarely leaves his gym, and uses his Pokémon to create fantastic ice sculptures. With the use of his Pokémon, he also makes it appear like the sculptures can move and attack. That is how he simulated a battle against {{p|Suicune}} while fooling those who were invited over to watch, including [[Whitney]] and [[DJ Mary]].

Despite his frailness, he is still the representative of the Johto Gym Leaders and was thus automatically pitted against [[Erika]], who represented Kanto's Gym Leaders, in the exhibition match which he won.

However, he has a sinister side—he is also the criminal mastermind [[Masked Man]].

He kidnapped {{adv|Silver}}, {{adv|Green}}, [[Sham]], and [[Carl]] ([[Will]] and [[Karen]] willingly joined him) when they were children. Pryce raised them to be his servants. Even though Green and Silver escaped, he continued to raise the other four as his slaves.

Then, after {{adv|Giovanni}} disbanded [[Team Rocket]], he was able to recruit the now-leaderless Rocket Grunts as his underlings. Some came willingly; others were mind-controlled with masks.

In his youth, Pryce had lost two of his {{p|Lapras}} in an avalanche. He never got over the traumatic event, and it seemed to scar him emotionally. He stopped at nothing to gain {{p|Celebi}}'s power so that he could travel through time and be reunited with his Pokémon.

Unfortunately, the power of Celebi's time travel almost caused the world to freeze over. Apparently, time travel causes temperatures to plummet. {{adv|Gold}} followed Pryce through time and his {{p|Pichu}} destroyed the GS Ball, freeing Celebi.

Pryce vanished in the time vortex. To this day, no one knows what became of him.

==Trivia==
* His Japanese Leader title is {{tt|冬の厳しさを教える者|Teacher of Winter's Harshness}}.
* Pryce is the only Gym Leader that forfeited to {{Ash}}.
* In the games, Pryce is the only male Johto Gym Leader to have a {{cat|Generation II Pokémon}}. Each of the other four male Johto Gym Leaders have only {{cat|Generation I Pokémon}}.
* He is one of two Johto Gym Leaders to have lost to Ash in a second battle; him in an official Gym battle (via TKO; the first was an unofficial one-on-one battle—Dewgong vs. Phanpy); the other being Whitney in a Gym battle rematch.
* Pryce appears as an opponent in [[Pokémon Puzzle Challenge]]. He uses a {{p|Seel}} in battle.
* Pryce is the only Gym Leader whose highest-leveled Pokémon is at a lower level than the highest-leveled Pokémon of [[Jasmine|the Gym Leader before him]].
* As stated by in-battle dialogue in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, and later during random calls on the [[Pokégear]], Pryce's middle name is Willow, which also happens to be his Japanese name's translation.
* In [[Generation II]], a {{tc|Boarder}} in Pryce's Gym states that the secret to Pryce's power is his daily meditation under a waterfall. In [[Generation IV]], this is changed to his sitting on top of "very cold ice".
** This may be because in [[Generation IV]] [[Chuck]] trains through meditation under a waterfall.
* Pryce was the first Gym Leader to be introduced in the series who specializes with {{type2|Ice}} Pokémon, the others that followed were [[Candice]] and [[Brycen]].
**Coincidentally, they were also the seventh [[Gym Leader]]s whom the player faces in their respective regions.

'''Pryce''' (Japanese: '''ヤナギ''' ''Yanagi'') is the [[Gym Leader]] of [[Mahogany Town]]'s [[Gym]], known officially as the [[Mahogany Gym]]. He is an expert in {{type2|Ice}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. He gives the {{Badge|Glacier}} to {{pkmn|Trainer}}s who defeat him at his Gym.

==In the games==
[[Image:Gold Silver Pryce.png|140px|thumb|left|Headshot of Pryce from {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}]]
Pryce appears in {{game5|Gold|Silver|Crystal|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, where he is the seventh Gym Leader to be challenged in the Johto region. A specialist of the {{type2|Ice}}, Pryce is known as "The Teacher of Winter's Harshness". Pryce is the oldest Gym Leader players will face in the games: he has been training Pokémon for over fifty years, and the Pokémon he battles with have been with him since before {{ga|Ethan}}, {{ga|Kris}}, and {{ga|Lyra}} were born. The secret behind his power is—like [[Chuck]]—his daily meditation under a waterfall. Pryce claims that this strengthens both his body and his mind.

Pryce's [[Mahogany Gym]] cannot be challenged the first time the player arrives in [[Mahogany Town]]. A man is blocking entry to the Gym: he will only leave once [[Team Rocket]] has been defeated at their [[Team Rocket HQ|headquarters]] and the {{p|Gyarados}} at the nearby [[Lake of Rage]] have been calmed. Once an icy maze inside the Gym has been traversed, Pryce will battle with the player. Upon defeat, he will yield both the {{badge|Glacier}}, and an Ice-type Technical Machine. This varies from generation to generation: {{TM|16|Icy Wind}} will be given in Generation II, and {{TM|07|Hail}} is given in Generation IV.

Like all Gym Leaders in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, Pryce will often travel outside of his Gym. Every morning between 7:00 AM and 10:00 AM, he will head north to the Lake of Rage's west shore. Here, he awaits the player and will give out his [[Pokégear]] phone number so the two can battle again in future. This battle will take place on Monday mornings, in [[Saffron City]]'s [[Fighting Dojo]].

Pryce also appears in [[Pokémon Stadium 2]]'s Johto [[Gym Leader Castle]]. Like other Gym Leaders' teams in this game, he uses a variety of Pokémon not of his specialist type. Uniquely, Pryce uses a [[legendary Pokémon]]: the {{2t|Ice|Flying}} [[legendary bird]], {{p|Articuno}}.

:''"Pokémon have many experiences in their lives, just like we do. I, too, have seen and suffered much in my life. Since I am your elder, let me show you what I mean. I have been training Pokémon since before you were born. I do not lose easily. I, Pryce - the Winter Trainer - shall demonstrate my power!"''

*Sending out the last Pokémon
:''"Humph... You are quite the Trainer."''

*During the battle
:''"Willow is my middle name. Willow is flexible and not easily broken. I'm not giving up yet."''

*When defeated
:''"Hmm. Seems as if my luck has run out."''

*After battle
:''"I am impressed by your prowess. With your strong will, I know you will overcome all life's obstacles. You are worthy of this Badge! That Badge will raise the Special stats of Pokémon. It also lets your Pokémon use Whirlpool to get across real whirlpools."''

:''"And this... This is a gift from me! That TM contains Hail. It summons a hailstorm that lasts for five turns. The hailstorm damages all types except Ice."''

:''"When the ice and snow melt, spring arrives. You and your Pokémon will be together for many years to come. Cherish your time together!"'

=====[[Fighting Dojo]]=====
*Before battle
:''"Finally. No need for words. A Pokémon battle is the way for us to communicate."''

*After being defeated
:''"Mmm... Impressive!"''

=====[[Pokégear]] Registering ([[Lake of Rage]])=====
:''"The strong rain falling on the surface seems to be agitating the raging lake. This must have some purpose that we meet again. Why don't we exchange our phone numbers?"''
::Yes: ''"I make it a habit to train myself on Monday mornings to give this lazy body a spine. You could be a good training partner. I'll be waiting for your call!"''
::No: ''"That's OK, too. People ought to have their own ideas. That's the way it is."''
:''"So? Will you exchange numbers with me?"''

=====Pokégear Phone=====
*Pryce calling the player:
:''"Yes, this is Pryce. How are you doing? Just like one of my children... No. You’re more like one of my grandchildren... There’s such an age difference between myself and the Trainers who defeat me nowadays... But you know, the strange thing is that when I lose, I don’t feel disappointed. I just feel happy. Just happy that such talented Trainers have come to see me. ...I just wanted to talk to someone about that, so I called you. That’s all."''

:''"Yes, this is Pryce. How are you doing? Do you know why they call me the winter Trainer? Do you recall that my middle name is “Willow”? The willow tree looks like it withers in winter’s cold. But really, it sprouts dozens of new buds. My fighting style is also strong just like that... It’s written in old books, you know. You should look it up sometime."''

*Calling him:
:''"Hello... Oh, hi, how are you? I'm doing fine, thanks. You know, there are Gym Leaders out there who are stronger than me. You should try battling them. I don't think you'll lose."''

:''"Hello... Oh, hi, how are you? I'm doing fine, thanks. I usually get up pretty early... If we're going to battle, I'm at my best in the morning... How about you give me a call on Monday morning!"''

*On Monday mornings:
:''"Hello... Oh, hi, how are you? I'm doing fine, thanks. Oh, perfect timing... I was starting to get bored... Do you want to battle again?"''
::No: ''"I see. Well, that's how it's got to be... If you ever change your mind, give me a call. Remember, I'm free on Monday mornings."''
::Yes: ''"Honesty is good. So I'll meet you at the Fighting Dojo in Saffron City, then?"''

:''"What? I can’t hear you very well. I think we’ve got a bad connection. Well, if you have something you want to talk to me about, go somewhere else and try calling again."''

==In the anime==
[[File:Pryce anime.png|thumb|left|Pryce in the anime]]
Pryce appeared in three episodes of the [[Pokémon anime]]. He had a cameo appearance in ''[[EP236|Rage of Innocence]]'', and he was featured as the Gym Leader of Mahogany Town in ''[[EP237|As Cold as Pryce]]'' and ''[[EP238|Nice Pryce, Baby!]]''.

In the anime, Pryce was a champion Trainer in his youth, but was severely burned in a battle. While he was bedridden, his {{TP|Pryce|Piloswine}} went out the door during a severe snow storm and never came back. He believed it had abandoned him, and he grew bitter. He became more cold-hearted and believed that Pokémon are for battling and nothing more. Because of this, he refused to fight {{Ash}}, thinking him to be a weak {{pkmn|Trainer}}. When Ash compelled him to a battle, Pryce finally accepted. Using his {{p|Dewgong}}, he beat [[Ash's Donphan|Ash's Phanpy]] easily.

[[File:Young Pryce.png|thumb|Pryce in his youth]]
Later when Ash again tried to talk Pryce into a battle, they stumbled onto a cave where they found Pryce's Piloswine frozen in ice. It had some plants that aided in the healing of burns. It was then that Pryce realized that Piloswine had gone in search of medicine for him, and only the snow storm trapping the Pokémon in ice prevented it from returning to him. Piloswine was defrosted and on being reunited with Piloswine, Pryce lost his cold-heartedness and became happy again.

The next morning, Ash battled Pryce in a gym battle. After a fierce battle, Pryce forfeited as his Piloswine became tired and he knew it would serve no purpose to keep going.

In ''[[EP238|Nice Pryce, Baby!]]'' Pryce used Piloswine during his Gym battle with Ash. It easily defeated [[Ash's Quilava|Ash's Cyndaquil]] and fought fiercely against [[Ash's Pikachu]] until Pryce forfeited as Piloswine was becoming tired, earning Ash the {{badge|Glacier}}.}}

==In the Pokémon Adventures manga==
{{spoilers}}
[[File:Pryce Adventures.png|right|thumb|Pryce in Pokémon Adventures]]
Pryce is a frail man confined to a wheelchair. He rarely leaves his gym, and uses his Pokémon to create fantastic ice sculptures. With the use of his Pokémon, he also makes it appear like the sculptures can move and attack. That is how he simulated a battle against {{p|Suicune}} while fooling those who were invited over to watch, including [[Whitney]] and [[DJ Mary]].

Despite his frailness, he is still the representative of the Johto Gym Leaders and was thus automatically pitted against [[Erika]], who represented Kanto's Gym Leaders, in the exhibition match which he won.

However, he has a sinister side—he is also the criminal mastermind [[Masked Man]].

He kidnapped {{adv|Silver}}, {{adv|Green}}, [[Sham]], and [[Carl]] ([[Will]] and [[Karen]] willingly joined him) when they were children. Pryce raised them to be his servants. Even though Green and Silver escaped, he continued to raise the other four as his slaves.

Then, after {{adv|Giovanni}} disbanded [[Team Rocket]], he was able to recruit the now-leaderless Rocket Grunts as his underlings. Some came willingly; others were mind-controlled with masks.

In his youth, Pryce had lost two of his {{p|Lapras}} in an avalanche. He never got over the traumatic event, and it seemed to scar him emotionally. He stopped at nothing to gain {{p|Celebi}}'s power so that he could travel through time and be reunited with his Pokémon.

Unfortunately, the power of Celebi's time travel almost caused the world to freeze over. Apparently, time travel causes temperatures to plummet. {{adv|Gold}} followed Pryce through time and his {{p|Pichu}} destroyed the GS Ball, freeing Celebi.

Pryce vanished in the time vortex. To this day, no one knows what became of him.

==Trivia==
* His Japanese Leader title is {{tt|冬の厳しさを教える者|Teacher of Winter's Harshness}}.
* Pryce is the only Gym Leader that forfeited to {{Ash}}.
* In the games, Pryce is the only male Johto Gym Leader to have a {{cat|Generation II Pokémon}}. Each of the other four male Johto Gym Leaders have only {{cat|Generation I Pokémon}}.
* He is one of two Johto Gym Leaders to have lost to Ash in a second battle; him in an official Gym battle (via TKO; the first was an unofficial one-on-one battle—Dewgong vs. Phanpy); the other being Whitney in a Gym battle rematch.
* Pryce appears as an opponent in [[Pokémon Puzzle Challenge]]. He uses a {{p|Seel}} in battle.
* Pryce is the only Gym Leader whose highest-leveled Pokémon is at a lower level than the highest-leveled Pokémon of [[Jasmine|the Gym Leader before him]].
* As stated by in-battle dialogue in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, and later during random calls on the [[Pokégear]], Pryce's middle name is Willow, which also happens to be his Japanese name's translation.
* In [[Generation II]], a {{tc|Boarder}} in Pryce's Gym states that the secret to Pryce's power is his daily meditation under a waterfall. In [[Generation IV]], this is changed to his sitting on top of "very cold ice".
** This may be because in [[Generation IV]] [[Chuck]] trains through meditation under a waterfall.
* Pryce was the first Gym Leader to be introduced in the series who specializes with {{type2|Ice}} Pokémon, the others that followed were [[Candice]] and [[Brycen]]. Coincidentally, they were also the 7th [[Gym Leader]]s whom the player faces in their respective regions.

'''Jasmine''' (Japanese: '''ミカン''' ''Mikan'') is the [[Gym Leader]] of [[Olivine City]]'s [[Gym]], known officially as the [[Olivine Gym]]. Her specialty is {{type2|Steel}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, and she gives the {{badge|Mineral}} to {{pkmn|Trainer}}s who defeat her in {{pkmn|battle}}. She also appears in [[Sinnoh]] to give Trainers {{HM|07|Waterfall}} and to compete in Sinnoh's {{pkmn|Super Contest}}s.

==In the games==

Jasmine appears in {{game5|Gold|Silver|Crystal|HeartGold|SoulSilver}} as the Gym Leader of the [[Olivine Gym]]. Her title in these games is "The Steel-Clad Defense Girl." She also appears in {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}.

Jasmine is a very shy girl and has trouble speaking. She is a compassionate girl, and when the {{p|Ampharos}} in [[Glitter Lighthouse]] (nicknamed [[Amphy]]) falls ill, Jasmine is so worried she cannot even smile. Amphy and Jasmine appear to be close, because once medicine is brought for Amphy, it will only take it from her.

Typically Jasmine is the sixth Gym Leader to be challenged in the [[Johto]] region, although she is the fifth to be encountered. When she is first met she will refuse to battle the player, as she is busy taking care of a sick Ampharos. She requests that a [[SecretPotion|special medicine]] be brought from the [[Cianwood City]] pharmacy. When it is retrieved, she will heal the Ampharos and return to the Gym. In battle, she uses the newly-discovered {{type2|Steel}} Pokémon, but it's said that she used to train a different type until recently. A {{tc|Gentleman}} in the Lighthouse says she used to train {{type2|Rock}} Pokémon, like {{p|Onix}}. Once defeated she will yield the {{badge|Mineral}} and {{tm|23|Iron Tail}}.
[[File:Gold Vs Jasmine.png|thumb|left|200px|{{ga|Ethan}} about to fight Jasmine in {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}]]
In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, Jasmine can be fought multiple times in [[Saffron City]]'s [[Fighting Dojo]]. She will use a stronger team here but will not appear until her [[Pokégear]] phone number has been obtained at the Olivine City diner. She goes there every afternoon, between 1:00 PM and 2:00 PM, and will afterwards travel to [[Kanto]] for battles on Wednesday afternoons. After defeating her in a rematch, visiting Jasmine at her Gym in Olivine will cause her to offer to make a trade with the player. However, the player will need to talk to Jasmine a second time because she will be nervous. She offers a {{p|Steelix}} nicknamed '''Rusty''' (Japanese: '''ネール''' ''Neil'') that holds a {{DL|Held item|Soothe Bell}}. She will accept any Pokémon in exchange, being the only in-game trade where this is possible. Rusty isn't the same as her battling Steelix, as Rusty is female whereas the other is male.

[[File:Jasmine Pt.png|thumb|right|Jasmine in {{3v2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}]]
In {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}, Jasmine is staying in [[Sunyshore City]] for a while, which she says reminds her of home with [[Vista Lighthouse|its lighthouse]] and its location on the sea. She also occasionally enters {{pkmn|Super Contest}}s with her Steelix, which is nicknamed '''Rusty''' (Japanese: '''ネール''' ''Neil''). She gives the player {{HM|07|Waterfall}} after defeating the eighth [[Gym Leader]], [[Volkner]]. A conversation with [[Erika]] in HeartGold and SoulSilver places Jasmine's appearance in [[Sinnoh]] after the main plot of the Johto games.

==In the anime==
[[File:Jasmine Sinnoh.png|thumb|left|220px|Jasmine in the {{series|Diamond & Pearl}}.]]
Jasmine appears in ''[[EP208|Fight for the Light]]'', ''[[EP224|Nerves of Steelix]]'' and ''[[DP180|Four Roads Diverged in a Pokémon Port!]]''.

In the {{pkmn|anime}}, Jasmine runs the [[Glitter Lighthouse]] in Olivine City. She used her [[Amphy|Ampharos]] to light the way over the shore, but when it became ill, she asked {{Ash}} to fetch it some medicine from [[Cianwood City]]. Ash and his friends retrieved the medicine and sent it back with one of Jasmine's young apprentices, [[Janina]].

Several weeks later, Ash and his friends returned from the [[Whirl Islands]] and Ash challenged Jasmine to a [[Gym]] battle. Ash used {{AP|Cyndaquil}} and was able to defeat Jasmine's {{p|Steelix}}.
[[File:Jasmine Johto.png|thumb|220px|Jasmine's first appearance]]
In her first appearance, Jasmine is closer to her game personna; gentle and soft-spoken. But in her second appearance, Jasmine is markedly more confident, and even aggressive during the Gym battle. She makes a powerful introduction, leaping from a cliff and gracefully landing on her Steelix. She is not afraid to take on {{TRT}}, and is quite vocal in letting Ash know she won't go easy on him during battle.

She reappeared in ''[[DP180|Four Roads Diverged in a Pokémon Port!]]'' in her HeartGold and SoulSilver outfit, where she is having a special training session with {{si|Kenny}}. She later asked {{e4|Flint}} if she could battle him and he accepted. The battle resulted in his {{p|Infernape}} knocking out her Steelix.

===Pokémon===
This is a listing of Jasmine's known Pokémon in the anime:

|vaen=Eric Stuart
|desc=Jasmine's {{p|Magnemite}} was seen for the first time in ''[[EP208|Fight for the Light!]]'', riding on Jasmine's shoulder through the whole episode. It was also the first Pokémon that Jasmine used in her Gym battle with Ash in ''[[EP224|Nerves of Steelix!]]'', sending it against [[Ash's Pikachu]]. Despite proving itself very fast and pretty strong, it was finally knocked out by {{p|Pikachu}}'s {{m|Quick Attack}}.

Magnemite's only known move is {{m|Thunder Wave}}.}}

It first appeared sick, as Amphy does in Gold, Silver, and Crystal. {{Ash}}, {{ashfr| his friends}}, and Jasmine's assistant [[Janina]] travel to [[Cianwood City]] to get a medicine to heal Sparkle. When they return to challenge Jasmine, Sparkle has been cured, but is not used in battle.

It later appeared in one of {{an|Lyra}}'s presentations about the Johto region in ''[[DP143|An Egg Scramble!]]''.}}

==In the Pokémon Adventures manga==
[[File:Janine and Jasmine.png|right|thumb|230px|Jasmine and her Steelix (right) with Janine and her Ariados (left)]]
Jasmine initially left her Gym to see [[Togebo]], the egg of her two Togetic that {{adv|Gold}} hatched for her. However, on her way Jasmine was caught in an {{m|earthquake}} caused by {{TRT}} while traveling through [[Ecruteak City]]. Gold was to journey there to help her as instructed by the elderly couple at the Day Care. She had climbed the [[Bell Tower|Tin Tower]] to get away from the shaking and had been caught in some rubble. Using Ampharos to send off a distress flare, she caught the attention of both {{adv|Gold}} and {{adv|Silver}}. Silver originally saved her, but Gold believed that Silver had in some way contributed to her injuries. Silver handed her over to Gold and was later given to Amphy, who rushed her out of the tower under Gold's orders before it collapsed, leaving the young rivals trapped in the tower.

Jasmine later managed to recover, unaware of Gold and Silver's efforts to rescue her (as she had not the consciousness to have any memory of the events). At the Pokémon League Tournament, she fought against [[Brock]]. She covered her Steelix in rubble to make it look like an {{p|Onix}}, thinking that the newly-discovered Steel Pokémon would be too horrifying for people to see. Steelix's type advantage gave it away, and the rubble was eventually cleared off to reveal her Steelix's nature. She later reasoned that she doesn't like to show off.

Jasmine once specialized in {{type2|Rock}} Pokémon before {{adv|Crystal}} and {{adv|Professor Oak}} discovered Steel-type Pokémon.

Jasmine's two {{p|Togetic}} are the parents of Gold's [[Togebo]].

In ''[[PS351|VS. Pachirisu]]'', Jasmine appears briefly in the background with [[Fantina]], entering the Master Rank Super Contest.

Although not the main focus of the card, Jasmine and [[Amphy]] also appear on {{TCG ID|EX Unseen Forces|Mary's Request|86}} in the {{TCG|EX Unseen Forces}} set.

==Trivia==
* Her Japanese Leader title is {{tt|鉄壁ガードの女の子|Iron wall-guarded girl}}.
* She is the only female Johto Gym Leader that is not voiced by [[Megan Hollingshead]] in English.
* Jasmine appears in the audience of the {{pkmn|Contest}}s in Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald and in Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum. [[Pryce]] appear in the audience as well.
* The Olivine City Gym is the only Gym in Johto that does not have any Trainers other than its leader.
* Jasmine is the first Gym Leader to appear outside of her home region in the games.
* When rematched in {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, Jasmine's levels are the highest of all of the Johto leaders, despite her typically being the sixth leader; her Steelix reaches level 62, while the maximum of any other Johto leader is level 60.
* Jasmine is currently the only female Steel-type specialist.
* As in HeartGold and SoulSilver, Jasmine's [[Trainer ID number]] is 26491.

'''Pryce''' (Japanese: '''ヤナギ''' ''Yanagi'') is the [[Gym Leader]] of [[Mahogany Town]]'s [[Gym]], known officially as the [[Mahogany Gym]]. He is an expert in {{type2|Ice}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. He gives the {{Badge|Glacier}} to {{pkmn|Trainer}}s who defeat him at his Gym.

==In the games==
[[Image:Gold Silver Pryce.png|140px|thumb|left|Headshot of Pryce from {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}]]
Pryce appears in {{game5|Gold|Silver|Crystal|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, where he is the seventh Gym Leader to be challenged in the Johto region. A specialist of the {{type2|Ice}}, Pryce is known as "The Teacher of Winter's Harshness". Pryce is the oldest Gym Leader players will face in the games: he has been training Pokémon for over fifty years, and the Pokémon he battles with have been with him since before {{ga|Ethan}}, {{ga|Kris}}, and {{ga|Lyra}} were born. The secret behind his power is—like [[Chuck]]—his daily meditation under a waterfall. Pryce claims that this strengthens both his body and his mind.

Pryce's [[Mahogany Gym]] cannot be challenged the first time the player arrives in [[Mahogany Town]]. A man is blocking entry to the Gym: he will only leave once [[Team Rocket]] has been defeated at their [[Team Rocket HQ|headquarters]] and the {{p|Gyarados}} at the nearby [[Lake of Rage]] have been calmed. Once an icy maze inside the Gym has been traversed, Pryce will battle with the player. Upon defeat, he will yield both the {{badge|Glacier}}, and an Ice-type Technical Machine. This varies from generation to generation: {{TM|16|Icy Wind}} will be given in Generation II, and {{TM|07|Hail}} is given in Generation IV.

Like all Gym Leaders in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, Pryce will often travel outside of his Gym. Every morning between 7:00 AM and 10:00 AM, he will head north to the Lake of Rage's west shore. Here, he awaits the player and will give out his [[Pokégear]] phone number so the two can battle again in future. This battle will take place on Monday mornings, in [[Saffron City]]'s [[Fighting Dojo]].

Pryce also appears in [[Pokémon Stadium 2]]'s Johto [[Gym Leader Castle]]. Like other Gym Leaders' teams in this game, he uses a variety of Pokémon not of his specialist type. Uniquely, Pryce uses a [[legendary Pokémon]]: the {{2t|Ice|Flying}} [[legendary bird]], {{p|Articuno}}.

I have been with Pokémon since before you were born. I do not lose easily. I, Pryce--the winter trainer-- shall demonstrate my power!"''

''"Ah, I am impressed by your prowess. With your strong will, I know you will overcome all life's obstacles. You are worthy of this Badge!"''

''"When the ice and snow melt, spring arrives. You and your Pokémon will be together for many years to come. Cherish your time together!"''

:''"Pokémon have many experiences in their lives, just like we do. I, too, have seen and suffered much in my life. Since I am your elder, let me show you what I mean. I have been training Pokémon since before you were born. I do not lose easily. I, Pryce - the Winter Trainer - shall demonstrate my power!"''

*Sending out the last Pokémon
:''"Humph... You are quite the Trainer."''

*During the battle
:''"Willow is my middle name. Willow is flexible and not easily broken. I'm not giving up yet."''

*When defeated
:''"Hmm. Seems as if my luck has run out."''

*After battle
:''"I am impressed by your prowess. With your strong will, I know you will overcome all life's obstacles. You are worthy of this Badge! That Badge will raise the Special stats of Pokémon. It also lets your Pokémon use Whirlpool to get across real whirlpools."''

:''"And this... This is a gift from me! That TM contains Hail. It summons a hailstorm that lasts for five turns. The hailstorm damages all types except Ice."''

:''"When the ice and snow melt, spring arrives. You and your Pokémon will be together for many years to come. Cherish your time together!"'

=====[[Fighting Dojo]]=====

:''"Finally. No need for words. A Pokémon battle is the way for us to communicate."''

*After being defeated
:''"Mmm... Impressive!"''

=====[[Pokégear]] Registering ([[Lake of Rage]])=====
:''"The strong rain falling on the surface seems to be agitating the raging lake. This must have some purpose that we meet again. Why don't we exchange our phone numbers?"''
::Yes: ''"I make it a habit to train myself on Monday mornings to give this lazy body a spine. You could be a good training partner. I'll be waiting for your call!"''
::No: ''"That's OK, too. People ought to have their own ideas. That's the way it is."''
:''"So? Will you exchange numbers with me?"''

=====Pokégear Phone=====
*Pryce calling the player:
:''"Yes, this is Pryce. How are you doing? Just like one of my children... No. You’re more like one of my grandchildren... There’s such an age difference between myself and the Trainers who defeat me nowadays... But you know, the strange thing is that when I lose, I don’t feel disappointed. I just feel happy. Just happy that such talented Trainers have come to see me. ...I just wanted to talk to someone about that, so I called you. That’s all."''

:''"Yes, this is Pryce. How are you doing? Do you know why they call me the winter Trainer? Do you recall that my middle name is “Willow”? The willow tree looks like it withers in winter’s cold. But really, it sprouts dozens of new buds. My fighting style is also strong just like that... It’s written in old books, you know. You should look it up sometime."''

*Calling him:
:''"Hello... Oh, hi, how are you? I'm doing fine, thanks. You know, there are Gym Leaders out there who are stronger than me. You should try battling them. I don't think you'll lose."''

:''"Hello... Oh, hi, how are you? I'm doing fine, thanks. I usually get up pretty early... If we're going to battle, I'm at my best in the morning... How about you give me a call on Monday morning!"''

*On Monday mornings:
:''"Hello... Oh, hi, how are you? I'm doing fine, thanks. Oh, perfect timing... I was starting to get bored... Do you want to battle again?"''
::No: ''"I see. Well, that's how it's got to be... If you ever change your mind, give me a call. Remember, I'm free on Monday mornings."''
::Yes: ''"Honesty is good. So I'll meet you at the Fighting Dojo in Saffron City, then?"''

:''"What? I can’t hear you very well. I think we’ve got a bad connection. Well, if you have something you want to talk to me about, go somewhere else and try calling again."''

==In the anime==
[[File:Pryce anime.png|thumb|left|Pryce in the anime]]
Pryce appeared in three episodes of the [[Pokémon anime]]. He had a cameo appearance in ''[[EP236|Rage of Innocence]]'', and he was featured as the Gym Leader of Mahogany Town in ''[[EP237|As Cold as Pryce]]'' and ''[[EP238|Nice Pryce, Baby!]]''.

In the anime, Pryce was a champion Trainer in his youth, but was severely burned in a battle. While he was bedridden, his {{TP|Pryce|Piloswine}} went out the door during a severe snow storm and never came back. He believed it had abandoned him, and he grew bitter. He became more cold-hearted and believed that Pokémon are for battling and nothing more. Because of this, he refused to fight {{Ash}}, thinking him to be a weak {{pkmn|Trainer}}. When Ash compelled him to a battle, Pryce finally accepted. Using his {{p|Dewgong}}, he beat [[Ash's Donphan|Ash's Phanpy]] easily.

[[File:Young Pryce.png|thumb|Pryce in his youth]]
Later when Ash again tried to talk Pryce into a battle, they stumbled onto a cave where they found Pryce's Piloswine frozen in ice. It had some plants that aided in the healing of burns. It was then that Pryce realized that Piloswine had gone in search of medicine for him, and only the snow storm trapping the Pokémon in ice prevented it from returning to him. Piloswine was defrosted and on being reunited with Piloswine, Pryce lost his cold-heartedness and became happy again.

The next morning, Ash battled Pryce in a gym battle. After a fierce battle, Pryce forfeited as his Piloswine became tired and he knew it would serve no purpose to keep going.

In ''[[EP238|Nice Pryce, Baby!]]'' Pryce used Piloswine during his Gym battle with Ash. It easily defeated [[Ash's Quilava|Ash's Cyndaquil]] and fought fiercely against [[Ash's Pikachu]] until Pryce forfeited as Piloswine was becoming tired, earning Ash the {{badge|Glacier}}.}}

==In the Pokémon Adventures manga==
{{spoilers}}
[[File:Pryce Adventures.png|right|thumb|Pryce in Pokémon Adventures]]
Pryce is a frail man confined to a wheelchair. He rarely leaves his gym, and uses his Pokémon to create fantastic ice sculptures. With the use of his Pokémon, he also makes it appear like the sculptures can move and attack. That is how he simulated a battle against {{p|Suicune}} while fooling those who were invited over to watch, including [[Whitney]] and [[DJ Mary]].

Despite his frailness, he is still the representative of the Johto Gym Leaders and was thus automatically pitted against [[Erika]], who represented Kanto's Gym Leaders, in the exhibition match which he won.

However, he has a sinister side—he is also the criminal mastermind [[Masked Man]].

He kidnapped {{adv|Silver}}, {{adv|Green}}, [[Sham]], and [[Carl]] ([[Will]] and [[Karen]] willingly joined him) when they were children. Pryce raised them to be his servants. Even though Green and Silver escaped, he continued to raise the other four as his slaves.

Then, after {{adv|Giovanni}} disbanded [[Team Rocket]], he was able to recruit the now-leaderless Rocket Grunts as his underlings. Some came willingly; others were mind-controlled with masks.

In his youth, Pryce had lost two of his {{p|Lapras}} in an avalanche. He never got over the traumatic event, and it seemed to scar him emotionally. He stopped at nothing to gain {{p|Celebi}}'s power so that he could travel through time and be reunited with his Pokémon.

Unfortunately, the power of Celebi's time travel almost caused the world to freeze over. Apparently, time travel causes temperatures to plummet. {{adv|Gold}} followed Pryce through time and his {{p|Pichu}} destroyed the GS Ball, freeing Celebi.

Pryce vanished in the time vortex. To this day, no one knows what became of him.

==Trivia==
* His Japanese Leader title is {{tt|冬の厳しさを教える者|Teacher of Winter's Harshness}}.
* Pryce is the only Gym Leader that forfeited to {{Ash}}.
* In the games, Pryce is the only male Johto Gym Leader to have a {{cat|Generation II Pokémon}}. Each of the other four male Johto Gym Leaders have only {{cat|Generation I Pokémon}}.
* He is one of two Johto Gym Leaders to have lost to Ash in a second battle; him in an official Gym battle (via TKO; the first was an unofficial one-on-one battle—Dewgong vs. Phanpy); the other being Whitney in a Gym battle rematch.
* Pryce appears as an opponent in [[Pokémon Puzzle Challenge]]. He uses a {{p|Seel}} in battle.
* Pryce is the only Gym Leader whose highest-leveled Pokémon is at a lower level than the highest-leveled Pokémon of [[Jasmine|the Gym Leader before him]].
* As stated by in-battle dialogue in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, and later during random calls on the [[Pokégear]], Pryce's middle name is Willow, which also happens to be his Japanese name's translation.
* In [[Generation II]], a {{tc|Boarder}} in Pryce's Gym states that the secret to Pryce's power is his daily meditation under a waterfall. In [[Generation IV]], this is changed to his sitting on top of "very cold ice".
** This may be because in [[Generation IV]] [[Chuck]] trains through meditation under a waterfall.
* Pryce was the first Gym Leader to be introduced in the series who specializes with {{type2|Ice}} Pokémon, the others that followed were [[Candice]] and [[Brycen]]. Confidently, they were the 7th [[Gym Leader]]s whom the player faces in their respective regions.

'''Elesa''' (Japanese: '''カミツレ''' ''Kamiture'') is the [[Gym Leader]] of [[Nimbasa City]]'s Gym, known officially as the [[Nimbasa Gym]]. She specializes in {{type2|Electric}} Pokémon. She gives the {{badge|Bolt}} to Trainers who defeat her.

==In the games==
Elesa makes her debut in {{game|Black and White|s}}, serving as the Nimbasa City Gym Leader. This Gym is the fourth that the player may challenge. The player can challenge her to a battle after riding a series of roller coasters to her location, a process involving the flipping of multiple switches so the tracks take the player to her.

Elesa specializes in Electric-type Pokémon. She utilizes a strategy that involves using {{m|Volt Switch}} between her two {{p|Emolga}}, and later {{p|Zebstrika}}. Upon defeating her, she will reward the player with a Bolt Badge and {{TM|72|Volt Switch}}.

Outside of battle, Elesa is a supermodel. She appears when [[Bianca]] attempts to convince her father to allow her to become a Pokémon Trainer. Elesa aids her, convincing Bianca's father to give his daughter the permission to follow her dream. When the player leaves Nimbasa City, it is Elesa who appears briefly on {{rt|5|Unova}} and tells the bridge guard to lower the [[Driftveil Drawbridge]] so the player may cross it. She then appears at [[N's Castle]], where she and the other [[Unova]] Gym Leaders hold off the [[Seven Sages]] while the player goes after N. While not strictly relevant to the plot, Elesa also visits [[Cynthia]] in the summer at [[Undella Town]], as do the other female Gym Leaders and Elite Four members.

===Quotes===
===={{game|Black and White|s}}====
'''[[Nimbasa City]]'''
:''"Sweetie, you keep going on your travels."''
:''"My name is Elesa. I'm this town's Gym Leader. I also happen to be a model."''
:''"You know, there are many people in this world. There are people whose way of thinking may be completely different from yours. Sometimes, this means you may get hurt."''
:''"But it's important to keep trying, to learn about the differences between yourself and others... To learn that being different is OK. And you shouldn't worry. Trainers always have Pokémon at their side. Pokémon are wonderful. It's not only how cute they can be, but also how much you can depend on them..."''
:''"I'm sure he traveled as a Trainer himself, in the past... Being a parent must be hard."''
:''"Did I meddle unnecessarily? You looked troubled, so I decided to chime in."''
:''"By the way, if you're Trainers, please stop by the Pokémon Gym. I'll teach you a little something about how tough a journey can get."''{{tt|*|If Elesa has not been defeated}}
:''"I'm sorry, <player>. I'll be waiting on Route 5."''{{tt|*|If Elesa is already defeated}}

'''[[Nimbasa Gym]]'''
* Before battle
:''"Did the fantastic speed leave you dizzy? My beloved Pokémon will be the next one to make your head spin!"''

*During battle (the first non-KO hit)
:''"You and your Pokémon... are shining brilliantly!"''

* After sending out last Pokémon
:''"A properly dramatic victory requires a dash of danger and a pinch of peril."''

* When defeated
:''"I meant to make your head spin, but you shocked me instead."''

* After being defeated
:''"My, oh my... You have a sweet fighting style. I mean, you're a great Trainer! Excuse me, I...uh... Oh, here! I want you to have this!"''
:''"If you have four [[Badge]]s, including this {{badge|Bolt}}, Pokémon up to Lv. 50, including traded Pokémon, will obey you. Also, here's this move I like. Feel free to use it, um, if you want to."''
:''"{{m|Volt Switch}} lets the Pokémon switch with a different Pokémon after attacking. Of course, if you don't have another Pokémon in your party, you can't switch."''
:''"You're going to [[Driftveil City]] next? Of course. There is a Pokémon Gym there, after all. Oh... I bet you won't be able to get there. You know what? I'll fix it so you can cross. Wait for me on {{rt|5|Unova}}."''
:''"What you'd like to do... What your Pokémon would like to do... Don't you think it could be amazing if those are aligned?"''

* Post game:
:''"I think the real me is the one who battles with Pokémon as a [[Gym Leader]]. A model's job is to make someone else's vision look like a reality. It's interesting but it's not easy..."''

'''[[Unova Route 5]]'''
:''"Oh, you two are friends... That's nice, how you're helping each other get better by competing. OK, let's go."''
:''"This is [[Alder]], the Unova region's {{pkmn|Champion}}."''
:''"Let's roll. The [[Driftveil Drawbridge]] is just ahead."''
:''"Now to contact him... It's me, Elesa. Please lower the drawbridge. I have a couple of Trainers here who want to challenge you. OK... Thanks. Now, watch this! I have a TV gig, so I've got to go. The Gym Leader of the next town may take some getting used to... Do your best, both of you."''

'''[[N's Castle]]'''
:''"Ignoring [[Team Plasma]]... That would be a terrible thing for us Gym Leaders to do."''
:''"I do not appreciate stubborn people."''

'''[[Cynthia]]'s villa'''
:''"I must say it's difficult for people to draw out a Pokémon's charm if they don't have any themselves."''
:''"You know [[Nimbasa City]]? You know it runs on energy generated by {{type|Electric}} Pokémon? ...Just kidding!"''
:''"Getting wrapped up in worries is bad for your body and spirit. That's when you must short out your logic circuits and reboot your heart."''
:''"Without a word... Without even a whisper... My Pokémon connect me to other {{pkmn|Trainer}}s, transmitting the current of my feelings."''
:''"Put bluntly, swimsuits are nothing but cloth, right?"''

'''Badge Case'''
:''May you always continue to be a person who brightens your surroundings.''

===National Gymquirer===
:Jingle: ''"Woo hoo! All right! It's 'The National Gymquirer'!"''
:Page: ''"That's right! We collect the hottest gossip about Gym Leaders seen around town! Here is today's letter. From someone going by the name Shocking Supermodel... Hmmm, that sounds like a Gym Leader I know. Well, let's see... 'The Gym Leader Elesa said that Nimbasa's Pokémon can dance a nimble bossa! Nobody laughed, but I thought it was really funny! What do you think?' Hmmm... It really seems like Elesa needs to come up with a sneakier pen name. Well, whatever! 'The National Gymquirer'! We eagerly await your letters!"''

[[File:Elesa anime.png|thumb|right|250px|Elesa in the anime]]
Elesa made her debut appearance in ''[[BW049|Enter Elesa, Electrifying Gym Leader!]]'', when {{Ash}} and {{an|Bianca}} went to one of her modelling shows in order to request a Gym Battle. Elesa was excited to see [[Ash's Pikachu]] and even left the runway just so she could get a closer look. Later, Elesa battled Bianca in a three-on-three match and easily defeated all of Bianca's Pokémon with her powerful {{p|Zebstrika}}.

Elesa battled {{Ash}} in ''[[BW050|Dazzling the Nimbasa Gym!]]''. Although Ash proved to be a far tougher opponent than Bianca had, she still gave the young {{pkmn|Trainer}} a tough time in her Gym. However Ash was able to pull through and earn himself a {{badge|Bolt}}.

Elesa appeared in a flashback in [[BW069]].

Zebstrika proved itself to be extremely powerful, knocking out all three of Bianca's Pokémon with little effort.

In ''[[BW050|Battle-Dazzling the Nimbasa Gym!]]'', Zebstrika was used against {{Ash}}'s {{AP|Palpitoad}} during his challenge for a badge. However, as Palpitoad was part {{type|Ground}}, {{m|Wild Charge}} would not work and {{m|Flame Charge}} did little damage. Although Zebstrika's {{m|Double Kick}} was powerful against Palpitoad, it was hit with Palpitoad's {{m|Supersonic}}, leaving it confused. A combination of {{m|Mud Shot}} and {{m|Hydro Pump}} finally knocked it out.

Zebstrika's known moves are {{m|Flame Charge}}, {{m|Double Kick}}, {{m|Wild Charge}}, and {{m|Quick Attack}}.}}

As both Pokémon were female, Attract could not work; however, Emolga was able to defeat Snivy using Aerial Ace and {{m|Acrobatics}}—moves Snivy was weak against. Finally, Emolga was sent up against {{AP|Pikachu}}, but since the recent battles had taken their toll, Emolga was knocked out with a single {{m|Quick Attack}}.

Elesa worked around Tynamo's inability to learn more than a few moves by training her so her {{m|Tackle}} was extremely powerful, causing Pikachu to struggle. However, Pikachu was able to pull himself together and knocked out Tynamo with {{m|Iron Tail}} after repetitively using {{m|Thunderbolt}} on the field.

Tynamo's only known move is {{m|Tackle}}.}}

She is briefly seen with other Nimbasa City officials when talking to White and negotiating with the [[BW Agency]] about the [[Pokémon Musical]] since Nimbasa City was starting to dwindle with its tourism, although Elesa didn't appear to be very interested. Later, when the Musical was being set up, Elesa was seen dressing up her Zebstrika in support of it. She informs {{adv|Black}} that their Gym Battle will have to wait until the Musical ends. Later, Black and Elesa have their Gym battle despite the fact that Black becomes stuck in her Gym's coaster car. Eventually, Black manages to defeat her but before he can take the badge, he is sent to the outside of the Gym from a thunderstorm caused by the Pokémon {{p|Thundurus}}.

Elesa, along with her fellow Gym Leaders, appears at the [[Celestial Tower]] to discuss what to do about Team Plasma. Later, she and the other Gym Leaders battle the [[Shadow Triad]] in [[Nacrene City]] to protect the Dark Stone from being stolen. Despite their teamwork, Elesa and the other Gym Leaders fell to the Shadow Triad's trump card, the [[Kami trio]].

'''Brycen''' (Japanese: '''ハチク''' ''Hachiku'') is the [[Gym Leader]] of [[Icirrus City]]'s Gym, known officially as the [[Icirrus Gym]]. He specializes in {{type2|Ice}} Pokémon. He gives the {{badge|Freeze}} to Trainers who defeat him.

==In the games==
Brycen appears in {{game|Black and White|s}} as the [[Gym Leader]] of Icirrus City's Gym. This Gym will be the seventh to be challenged by the player. Trainers who defeat Brycen will receive the Freeze Badge, along with {{TM|79|Frost Breath}}. He also reappears at [[N's Castle]] where he and the other [[Unova]] Gym Leaders hold off the [[Seven Sages]].

After successfully defeating Brycen in a Gym battle, [[Cheren]] and [[Bianca]] are waiting for the player outside of the Gym. Brycen notices Shadow Triad, who are invisible to everyone else, and demands they reveal themselves. The Shadow Triad does so and tells the player to head to [[Dragonspiral Tower]].

Once at the Dragonspiral Tower, the player must battle through Team Plasma Grunts to reach the top. At one point Brycen and Cheren stay behind to hold off Team Plasma while the player goes ahead. After the player reaches the top floor and N flies away with Zekrom{{sup|Bl}}/Reshiram{{sup|W}}, Brycen arrives and asks what happened. Later, Brycen helps [[Cedric Juniper]] investigate Dragonspiral Tower.

In the past, Brycen was a movie star, but grew bored of making films. Unsure of what to do with himself, he took the advice of [[Alder]] and became a {{pkmn|Trainer}}. He traveled alone to an icy cave and trained in silence to gain as much knowledge as possible. Brycen also places importance on concealing his true identity from others.

:''"Only those who are weak need to flaunt their strength."''

==Trivia==
* Out of all Pokémon that evolve by a set level, Larvesta evolves later than any other Pokémon who have not yet evolved, at level 59.
* No other Pokémon has the same [[type]] [[List of Pokémon with unique type combinations|combination]] as Larvesta and its {{p|Volcarona|evolution}}.
* Larvesta is the last Pokémon in the [[National Pokédex]] that can evolve into another Pokémon.
* Larvesta learns a new move every ten levels. It would share this trait with its evolved form, but Volcarona also learns {{m|Quiver Dance}} at level 59.
* For reasons unknown, Larvesta and Volcarona cannot learn {{m|Attract}}, despite having genders and being compatible with other TMs. They share this trait with {{p|Nincada}}, although Nincada's inability to learn the move is likely due to a desire to keep the genderless {{p|Shedinja}} from learning it. They also share this trait with {{p|Ferroseed}} and {{p|Ferrothorn}}.
* Larvesta, along with its evolution, are the only known Pokémon with a double weakness to the {{type|Rock}} that are not {{type|Flying}}s.

===Origin===
Larvesta is based on a {{wp|moth}} and the famed Japanese monument, the {{wp|Tower of the Sun}}. Larvesta appears to be based on an {{wp|Attacus atlas|Atlas moth}} larva. The way its red growths are shaped and positioned on its circular body may be a reference to the sun. It may also be based on a {{wp|torch}}.

====Name origin====
Larvesta's name is derived from ''larva'', a term for an infant insect, and ''{{wp|Vesta (mythology)|Vesta}}'', Roman goddess of the hearth and home, symbolised and represented by an eternally-burning fire located in her {{wp|Temple of Vesta|temple}}. It may also come from ''lava'', referring to it being the larva stage of its {{p|Volcarona|evolved form}} whose name is derived from ''volcano''

Merlarva may derive from めらめら ''meramera'', onomatopoeia for flaring, and ''larva''.

'''Shedinja''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ヌケニン''' ''Nukenin'') is a dual-type {{2t|Bug|Ghost}} Pokémon.

It is considered a "special" evolution of {{p|Nincada}}, appearing only when Nincada evolves into {{p|Ninjask}}, starting at [[level]] 20, and there is an extra space in the player's [[party]] and the player has an extra {{DL|Poké Ball|Poké Ball}}. An extra Poké Ball is not necessary to obtain Shedinja in Generation III.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Shedinja's body is based on an insect's shed exoskeleton. Therefore, its body is completely hollow (it possesses no internal organs). The shell consists of chitin and is entirely incapable of movement. As it is the shed shell of a fully developed {{p|Ninjask}}, it has a similar shape to the latter. Shedinja's entire body is brown in color; the abdomen is of a darker shade. There are four protrusions where Ninjask's limbs were growing. What appears to be its eyes are actually slits; perhaps formerly for the Ninjask the shell housed to look through. Shedinja has one pair of what appear to be tattered "wings" on its back, which is actually where the exoskeleton was torn by Ninjask to break free of the shell. Between its "wings" there is a hole, out of which the Ninjask escaped. Each "wing" divides into three smaller pieces. These "wings" actually don't perform any function, as Shedinja's body is immobile and levitates. Two horizontal lines circle its abdomen. A white halo constantly floats above its head.

====Gender differences====
Shedinja is a genderless species.

===Special abilities===
It is rumored that if a human peers into its back, the human's soul will be stolen. This rumor was never mentioned in the anime.

Shedinja is impervious to direct-damage from all attacks that its type combination isn't weak to due to its [[signature Ability]], {{a|Wonder Guard}}. However, any direct damage from attacks that Shedinja is weak to or any form of indirect damage will always knock it out.

===Behavior===
Shedinja appear to be wise and intelligent Pokémon. They are also very quiet and stealthy, like a ninja. They are protective over Ninjask but otherwise very little is known about them.

===Habitat===
[[File:Forest.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Forest Pokémon}}]]
Shedinja probably live in forests, anywhere where there are Nincada and Ninjask and many other bug Pokémon.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

==In the anime==
[[File:Hansen Shedinja.png|thumb|right|210px|Shedinja in the anime]]
===Major appearances===
Shedinja made its debut appearance in ''[[AG044|The Princess and the Togepi]]'' under the ownership of [[Colonel Hansen]]. It also appeared in ''[[AG045|A Togepi Mirage!]]''

===Minor appearances===
It has made a number of cameo appearances in some [[Pokémon Contest]]s, such as in ''[[AG143|The Saffron Con]]''.

===Pokédex entries===
{{Animedexheader|Hoenn}}
{{Animedexbody|AG044|Shedinja|May's Pokédex|Shedinja, the Shed Pokémon. Shedinja possesses a hard, powerful body, giving it {{a|Wonder Guard|strong defenses}}.}}
{{Animedexfooter/Pokémon|''Advanced Generation''|Hoenn}}

==In the manga==
[[File:Amber Shedinja Adventures.png|thumb|125px|Shedinja in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
===Pokémon Adventures===
Shedinja first appeared when [[Aqua Admin Amber]], having been deprived of his Pokémon after being abandoned by [[Archie]], borrows a Nincada from his comrade [[Shelly]], which then immediately evolves into a {{p|Ninjask}}, putting [[Wattson]] in quite a pinch with the incredible speed it gained by the minute. Although the old Gym leader eventually managed to defeat it, a Shedinja formed from the shell Ninjask shed and attacked him from behind, sending him sinking into the ocean.

Several more volumes down the line, both {{adv|Emerald}} and {{FB|Arena Tycoon|Greta}} used Shedinja to exploit its Wonder Guard ability, as well as the fact that it has one base HP, requiring no items to resuscitate itself.

===Pokédex entries===
{{Dex

|sapphiredex=Shedinja is a peculiar Pokémon. It seems to appear unsought in a [[Poké Ball]] after a {{p|Nincada}} evolves. This bizarre Pokémon is entirely immobile - it doesn't even breathe.
|emeralddex=A peculiar Pokémon that floats in air even though its wings remain completely still. The inside of its body is hollow and utterly dark.
|frlgdex=A most peculiar Pokémon that somehow appears in a Poké Ball when a Nincada evolves.

Shedinja can also be damaged by {{m|Struggle}} and any of the [[Shadow moves]] from [[Pokémon Colosseum]] and {{Pokémon XD}}. The moves {{m|Beat Up}}, {{m|Future Sight}}, and {{m|Doom Desire}} can hit Shedinja prior to [[Generation V]].

In the [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon]] series, the standard A-button tackle will do one HP damage. In [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team|Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team]], foe Shedinja always has a maximum of 5 HP, whereas in [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness|Explorers of Time, Explorers of Darkness]] and [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky|Explorers of Sky]], foe Shedinja always has a maximum of 10 HP. However, as a team member, Shedinja's HP is not capped.

==Trivia==
* From [[Generation IV]] onwards, a basic [[Poké Ball]] (a requirement for evolution) is removed from the [[bag]] upon evolution to produce a Shedinja. In [[Generation III]], Shedinja instead copied the ball Nincada was in; this is the only legitimate way to get a Shedinja in a non-standard Poké Ball.
* No other Pokémon has the same [[type]] [[List of Pokémon with unique type combinations|combination]] as Shedinja.
* Shedinja has the lowest base stat total of all fully evolved Pokémon.
** Shedinja is also the only fully evolved Pokémon that has lower base stat total than its {{p|Nincada|pre-evolved form}}.
* Shedinja is one of only three Pokémon (other than [[baby Pokémon]]) to have a different [[egg group]] than its evolutionary relatives, being in the {{egg3|Mineral}} while {{p|Nincada}} and {{p|Ninjask}} are in the {{egg3|Bug}}. It cannot breed normally with Mineral group Pokémon either way, however, as it {{egg|Gender unknown|has no gender}}. The other two Pokémon that share this trait are {{p|Nidorina}} and {{p|Nidoqueen}}, which are both in the {{egg|Undiscovered}} group.
* Shedinja inherits the same [[personality value]], {{IV}}s, {{EV}}s, [[original Trainer|OT]] and [[Trainer ID number|ID number]] as the Nincada that shed it. Among other things, due to retaining personality value, if the Nincada was {{Shiny}}, Shedinja will be Shiny as well.
* The Shedinja shed from a Nincada has no [[nickname]], and the player is not given an opportunity to nickname it. The only way to give Shedinja a nickname is for the Nincada's original Trainer to take it to a [[Name Rater]].
* Shedinja's Ability renders it immune to 12 of 17 attack types, the most of any Pokémon. This also gives it a number of further distinctions:
** Shedinja is the only Pokémon immune to {{m|Dragon Rage}}, which otherwise has the same effect against all types.
** Even if {{m|Foresight}} is used, Shedinja is still immune to {{t|Normal}} and {{type2|Fighting}} attacks.
** If {{m|Soak}} is used to make Shedinja a {{t|Water}} type, it will have immunities to 15 of 17 attack types.
* Prior to [[Generation V]], if Nincada learns a move upon evolving into {{p|Ninjask}}, Shedinja will also know this move. This means that Shedinja can learn any of Ninjask's level up moves starting at level 20, but only the ones learned at the same level. In Generation V, Shedinja starts with the moves Nincada knew prior to evolution.
* Shedinja is the only genderless Pokémon that can learn egg moves (as a Nincada). However, {{p|Staryu}} and {{p|Starmie}} could also learn moves via breeding in Gold and Silver.
* Shedinja and {{p|Froslass}} are the only two {{t|Ghost}} types that evolve from a Pokémon that isn't a Ghost type.
* Even though looking into the crack on Shedinja's back is said to steal one's spirit, all of Shedinja's back sprites display it perfectly, yet no negative effects happen to the {{player}} in-game.

===1 HP trivia===
Shedinja has many unique characteristics derived from the fact that it has only 1 HP:
* Shedinja is the only Pokémon to have a stat not calculated by the [[Stats#Formula|standard formula]]; if it were, Shedinja would have at least 10 HP, even at [[level]] 1 with an HP {{IV}} of 0 and no HP {{EV}}s.
* Shedinja's HP IV and base stat cannot be determined experimentally; one must find out the HP IV of the Ninjask that shed it, as Shedinja shares those IVs.
* Shedinja is the only Pokémon who cannot gain any additional HP {{EV}}s.
** Shedinja gives 2 HP EVs when defeated in battle, despite having the lowest HP of all Pokémon.
* Shedinja will immediately faint if it receives any form of indirect damage, such as from [[status ailment]]s, [[weather conditions]] or [[entry hazard]]s. This is demonstrated in ''[[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]]'' with [[Battle CDs 11-20|Battle CD 11]], which requires the user to defeat six Shedinja in only one turn of combat by using a combination of {{m|Spikes}} and {{m|Rock Slide}} or {{m|Sandstorm}}.
** Outside of battle, Shedinja immediately recovers from {{status|Poison}} after four steps in [[Generation IV]] onwards, whereas in [[Generation III]] it will immediately faint after four steps.
* Despite it being able to learn {{m|Substitute}} and {{m|Rest}}, they will always fail; however, Shedinja can receive another Pokémon's {{m|Substitute}} through {{m|Baton Pass}}.
* Shedinja's {{stat|Defense}} and {{stat|Special Defense}} stats normally have no purpose in battle, as any damage will invariably cause Shedinja to faint. However, if Shedinja receives a {{m|Substitute}} through {{m|Baton Pass}}, its Defense and Special Defense are factored into damage the Substitute takes. Shedinja's Defense and Special Defense stats are also used when a Pokémon uses {{m|Transform}} on a Shedinja, and when Shedinja uses {{m|Power Trick}} (via {{m|Mimic}}).
* Shedinja is the only Pokémon that has its HP restored to maximum when leveled up with a {{DL|Vitamin|Rare Candy}} or revived with a {{DL|Revive|Revive}}.
* Shedinja's {{m|Final Gambit}} will always do 1 HP of damage to an opponent.
* If Shedinja holds a [[Focus Sash]] and it is triggered, the item will be consumed and leave Shedinja at full HP. Similarly, if Shedinja uses {{m|Endure}}, it will receive no damage from the attack whatsoever.
* If Shedinja obtains in [[Generation V]], it can survive any direct attack.
** Shedinja can obtain {{a|Sturdy}} if its ability is changed with {{m|Simple Beam}}, {{m|Entrainment}}, or {{m|Worry Seed}}, then using {{m|Skill Swap}}.
* If Shedinja were to use {{m|Endeavor}}, it would always reduce the opponent's HP to 1.
* If Shedinja were to use {{m|Pain Split}}, it would cut target's HP in half, similarly to {{m|Super Fang}}.

===Origin===
{{Bulbanews|On the Origin of Species: Nincada, Ninjask and Shedinja}}
It is based on the {{wp|Exuvia|shed husk}} that {{wp|cicada}}s leave behind when they finish their {{wp|metamorphosis}} into adults. It may also be based on a guardian angel, due to the halo-like object floating above its head. Its Ability {{a|Wonder Guard}} probably alludes to this.

====Name origin====
Shedinja is a combination of ''shed'' (to cast off skin or exoskeleton) and ''{{wp|ninja}}''.

Nukenin is a combination of 抜け殻 ''nukegara'' (casting off skin) and ''ninja''. ''Nukenin'' is also a term describing ninja who have abandoned their clan and lord.

Where are the sprites of Will and Karen from? Rahin 19:00, 2 October 2007 (UTC)

:Probably Pie. [[User:TinaTheKirlia|Tina]][[User talk:TinaTheKirlia|The]][[Kirlia (Pokémon)|Kirlia]] ♥ [[Image:281MS.gif]] 01:38, 1 October 2007 (UTC)

:::Ah. ^^; [[User:TinaTheKirlia|Tina]][[User talk:TinaTheKirlia|The]][[Kirlia (Pokémon)|Kirlia]] ♥ [[Image:281MS.gif]] 01:44, 1 October 2007 (UTC)
::::But aren't they fake? Rahin 19:00, 2 October 2007 (UTC)

::::::Better than the older G/S sprites, I think. Sure it's fake, but it blends in better with the two FR/LG sprites. Besides, the older G/S ones are a little... low on the colors. [[User:TinaTheKirlia|Tina]][[User talk:TinaTheKirlia|The]][[Kirlia (Pokémon)|Kirlia]] ♥ [[Image:281MS.gif]] 20:33, 2 October 2007 (UTC)
:::::::That's true [[User:Yinyang1195|Rahin]][[User talk:Yinyang1195|Talk]] 21:14, 3 October 2007 (UTC)

Wait, those sprites are by Coronis. They're from Serebii.net's manga bios section. I hope we have permission to use them... --[[User:Manga-in-a-bottle|Manga-in-a-bottle]] 21:25, 3 October 2007 (UTC)

:I don't see why we're using the FR/LG sprites (and some fan-made ones as well) in the GSC section when we use the game-specific sprites in ''every other trainer class''. [[User:IIMarckus|IIMarckus]] 04:31, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

==Type relationships==
Dark - Ghost - Ice - Dragon = Dark beats Ghost, Ghost doesn't beat any type here or is resistant to any, Ice beats Dragon, Dragon does not have a type advantage

Bug - Ground - Fire - Psychic = Bug beats Psychic, Ground beats Fire, Fire beats Bug, Psychic has no advantage.

So technically, if Generation III has a missing link (Ghost and Ice), and considering Generation IV does not have a consistent relationship (i.e. the type before beats the previous or the type after beats next type) and also has a missing link (Psychic)then shouldn't both Generations' Elite Fours' types be considered to have a relationship? They're both pretty loose relationships. {{unsigned|Evvy}}

== Needs to be less ambiguous ==

From the article:
*[[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire|Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire and]] [[Pokémon Emerald|Emerald]] are the only games in the series where only the champion has Pokémon of a different type. Though [[Wallace]] is the champion in Emerald and all his Pokémon are {{t|water}}.
This needs to be made clearer. If by "different type" it means "not one consistent type", then Emerald shouldn't be included, but all of the Kanto and Sinnoh games should. I can't see any meaning of the phrase which would only include the Hoenn games and nothing else. But I'm posting it here before editing in case I've misunderstood. [[User:Flicky|Fli]][[User talk:Flicky|cky]][[User:Flicky/Latin|1991]] 19:31, 13 August 2008 (UTC)

== Lance's Deviation from Dragon-types. ==

In Generation II, Lance has a Charizard (Fire/Flying-type) even though he is a Dragon-type trainer. I added that to the Trivia. [[User:Sting the Trainer|Sting the Trainer]] 22:37, 18 March 2009 (UTC)
:Due to the lack of X-type Pokemon, the Generation II Elite Four often has Y-type Pokemon with X-type characteristics. See whats-her-face and the Vileplume, and Bruno with half of his. — [[User talk:The dark lord trombonator|THE TROM]] — 22:51, 18 March 2009 (UTC)

Still, Lance's speciality in G/S/C is undenably FLYING. His ENTIRE TEAM is made of Flying types. If they wanted him to be Dragon, they could have given him a Dragonair or a Kingdra in place of one of his Dragonite Trio.[[User:Raikaria|Raikaria]] 09:02, 14 April 2011 (UTC)

==Note==
I seem to notice that {{game|Crystal}}'s the only game not mentioned on the Generation II and IV section for the Johto Elite Four. -[[User:Tyler53841|Tyler53841]] 16:38, 23 September 2009 (UTC)

This misinformation is so bizarre that I didn't want to delete it, as someone must have a reason to believe it. Normal? Rock? Grass? Am I misunderstanding this? [[User:Colintron|Colintron]] 14:56, 10 October 2010 (UTC)
:Flint has a Lopunny, Bruno has an Onix, and Cynthia has a Roserade.

Even so, the trivia's wrong. Blue can have Jolteon in Yellow.--[[User:Cold|Cold]] ([[User talk:Cold|talk]]) 14:59, 10 October 2010 (UTC)
::OH, 'represented' in that fashion. I thought it meant as the leader's favoured type. I'd suggest we improve the wording, but the Jolteon thing trumps it anyway. [[User:Colintron|Colintron]] 15:05, 10 October 2010 (UTC)

==Psuedo-legendary Pokémon==
Is it worth noting that the Isshu Elite Four/Champion is the only one not to use a psuedo-legendary Pokémon anywhere in their parties on the first battle? --[[User:Nebula|Nebula]] 01:43, 12 October 2010 (UTC)

== Do we need...? ==

First, do we really need the Pokémon list for each member? And the Japanese name? (Except for the Isshu ones for now, of course.) It's information that's better suited for each character's individual page (and of course it's already there), and it just seems to serve as a way to make the tables bigger so they don't look too thin on the page. I suggest we just drop both of those and leave only sprite,( English) name, and specialty type, and make the tables horizontal (sort of like the templates we already use, but with the type).
Less trivially, should we include the [[Champion]]s here? AFAIK they're not actually members of the Elite Four, and they ''do'' have their own page...s (We should do something about that too.) --'''[[User:Memo326|Memo]]'''[[User talk:Memo326|326]] 23:49, 18 October 2010 (UTC)
:What's wrong with their original names being there? [[User:Ataro|Ataro]] 23:59, 18 October 2010 (UTC)
::I agree with both Memo and Ataro, I think that we should drop the Pokemon Lists (sprites) for each member, as they are just taking up space. However, I think that we should leave the Japanese names there. The games originate in Japan, so having their Japanese (original) names there is important. Also I think that we should include the Champions here, as they need to be battled to defeat the game, and are therefore, honorary members of the Elite Four (and sometimes former members of the Elite Four). So in closing, I think that we should include their Sprite, Japanese Name, English Name, and Specialty Type. --[[User:Jediknightdtv|JediKnight]][[User talk:Jediknightdtv|DTV]] 00:12, 19 October 2010 (UTC)
:::Not taking either side here, but some people just type in "Elite Four" when looking for information and trying to beat their game. The party lists save them the trouble of clicking to get to the individual pages.--[[User:Cold|Cold]] ([[User talk:Cold|talk]]) 00:16, 19 October 2010 (UTC)

== gen v rematch addons ==

in the rematches vs the isshu elite four, they each get one gen iii pokémon and one gen iv pokémon, with the exception of shikimi who has frosslass (which is from a gen iii family) instead. also pre-rematch rembu's team is all pure fighting, that's a first right? [[User:Kanjo|Kanjo]] 13:53, 12 November 2010 (UTC)
:Froslass counts as Gen IV, so that trivia can be added. However, Renbu's trivia can go on his own page. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 08:03, 27 December 2010 (UTC)

== Gen V Elite Four Trivia ==

Let's take the numbers of previous Elites who used the types used in Gen V, in order of appearance:

Ghost- Agatha (third) and Phoebe (second) 3+2=5

Dark- Karen (fourth) and Sidney (first) 4+1=5

Psychic- Will (first) and Lucian (fourth) 1+4=5

Fighting- Bruno (second) and Bruno again (third) 2+3=5

All of them sum up to 5. Fifth generation.

Is this enough to appear in trivia?--[[User:Saxton Hale|Saxton Hale]] 22:57, 3 December 2010 (UTC)

== Inconsistancy Between Steven and Alder ==

Steven's speciality is listed as Steel. He has a team of 6, and only 3 are Steel Types.

Alder is listed as Various. He has a Team of 6, and 3 are Bugs.

Notice the inconsistancy here? Either Steven should be listed as Various, or Alder should be listed as Bug.[[User:Raikaria|Raikaria]] 09:01, 14 April 2011 (UTC)
:Steven specializing in Steel-type Pokémon is openly stated (for example, see his Trainer's Eyes or Match Call). Alder is never stated to specialize in Bug-type Pokémon.

== Unova Elite Four order ==

:::{{m|Hidden Power}}'s type and power depend on every stat IV.

[[User:Diby esp|Gabriel Rocha (Diby esp)]] 00:43, 3 June 2009 (UTC)
::::No, it wouldn't. The formula for calculating the strength and type of Hidden Power relies only on the IVs modulo 2 and modulo 4. For example, if you could change a Shedinja's HP IV from 1 to 29, the type and power of Hidden Power would not change. This is because 1 and 29 are congruent modulo 2 and modulo 4.

If you breed a Shedinja with a Ditto, will you get a Nincada or another Shedinja? It doesn't say anywhere on the page.

::Ditto can breed with the genderless, otherwise we'd have no {{p|Phione}}, no baby {{p|Porygon}}, and a heck of a lot of problems. It's the genderless that can't interbreed.

== Belly Drum ==

There is a website where you can "hack" certain moves onto a Pokémon that couldn't normally learn it. I was wondering what would happen if you hack Belly Drum on to Shedinja and then try to use it. My guess is that it would fail, but i want to be sure. {{unsigned|Benboy803}}

::Ok thank you. {{unsigned|Benboy803}}

== Trivia ==

When adding trivia is allowed, shouldn't it be noted that it is (theoretically) possible to make a Shedinja immune to all forms of direct damage? This can be done by done by entering a [[double battle]]/[[triple battle]] with {{p|Staryu}} knowing {{m|Reflect Type}} and a Shedinja knowing {{m|Mimic}}.
*Staryu uses Reflect Type. Shedinja, who is slower than Staryu, uses Mimic on Staryu. The foes do anything but [[faint]] Shedinja
*Staryu switches out into {{p|Sableye}}/{{p|Spiritomb}}. Shedinja uses Mimic-Reflect Type on Spiritomb. The foes do anything but faint Shedinja before it uses Mimic-Reflect Type
*Shedinja is now invincible to any means of direct damage.
And then, Shedinja starts destroying the entire world during the battle. --[[User:Enervation|Enervation]] 00:07, 7 September 2011 (UTC)
:It could be done with any Pokemon. Have a Pokemon use Skill Swap to obtain Wonder Guard, then dothe res. I dont think its notable. '''X'''[[User:Vuvuzela2010|'''Vuvuzela2010''']]'''X''' 08:16, 7 September 2011 (UTC)

== 1 HP trivia: composed of assumptions? ==

''"If Shedinja obtains Sturdy in Generation V, it can survive any direct attack"''

Impossible because:
* A Pokemon can only have one ability. It cannot have two. For this to happen you would need both Wonder Guard and Sturdy.
* Trivia implies that this will only be possible if the game introduces two abilities for a single Pokemon.

This is an assumption based on personal thoughts. Its like saying that "if GameFreak introduced this feature, this Pokemon would be the most strongest one in the entire world". Trivia implies that maybe if GameFreak changes its game-engines this is possible. Can Trivia's be composed of assumptions? [[User:Blueknightex|Blueknightex]] 11:15, 28 April 2012 (UTC)
:You're wrong; Shedinja doesn't need Wonder Guard anymore if it gets Sturdy.--'''[[User:Dennou Zenshi|電禅]][[User talk:Dennou Zenshi|Den Zen]]''' 11:22, 28 April 2012 (UTC)

::: I interpreted it wrong when I first read the statement. Before Gen V, sturdy only blocks [[One-hit knockout move]]s which is not just 'any' attack. However on Gen V, when a Pokemon is brought from full HP to 0 HP, instead of being KO'd it has 1HP remaining instead. In a way it acts like an auto-[[Endure]] that is immediately in effect when the Pokemon is brought to battle and has a 100% of working :-) [[User:Blueknightex|Blueknightex]] 11:37, 28 April 2012 (UTC)

*Staryu switches out into {{p|Sableye}}/{{p|Spiritomb}}. Shedinja uses Mimic-Reflect Type on Spiritomb. The foes do anything but faint Shedinja before it uses Mimic-Reflect Type

== Trivia ==

When adding trivia is allowed, shouldn't it be noted that it is (theoretically) possible to make a Shedinja immune to all forms of direct damage? This can be done by done by entering a [[double battle]]/[[triple battle]] with {{p|Staryu}} knowing {{m|Reflect Type}} and a Shedinja knowing {{m|Mimic}}.
*Staryu uses Reflect Type. Shedinja, who is slower than Staryu, uses Mimic on Staryu. The foes do anything but [[faint]] Shedinja
*Staryu switches out into {{p|Sableye}}/{{p|Spiritomb}}. Shedinja uses Mimic-Reflect Type on Spiritomb. The foes do anything but faint Shedinja before it uses Mimic-Reflect Type
*Shedinja is now invincible to any means of direct damage.
And then, Shedinja starts destroying the entire world during the battle. --[[User:Enervation|Enervation]] 00:07, 7 September 2011 (UTC)
:It could be done with any Pokemon. Have a Pokemon use Skill Swap to obtain Wonder Guard, then dothe res. I dont think its notable. '''X'''[[User:Vuvuzela2010|'''Vuvuzela2010''']]'''X''' 08:16, 7 September 2011 (UTC)

== 1 HP trivia: composed of assumptions? ==

''"If Shedinja obtains Sturdy in Generation V, it can survive any direct attack"''

Edit:
:Opps I interpreted it wrong when I first read the statement. Please ignore what I wrote before. So Gen V, sturdy only blocks [[One-hit knockout move]]s which is not just 'any' attack. However on Gen V, when a Pokemon is brought from full HP to 0 HP, instead of being KO'd it has 1HP remaining instead. In a way it acts like an auto-[[Endure]] that is immediately in effect when the Pokemon is brought to battle and has a 100% of working :-) [[User:Blueknightex|Blueknightex]] 11:37, 28 April 2012 (UTC)

:::{{m|Hidden Power}}'s type and power depend on every stat IV.

[[User:Diby esp|Gabriel Rocha (Diby esp)]] 00:43, 3 June 2009 (UTC)
::::No, it wouldn't. The formula for calculating the strength and type of Hidden Power relies only on the IVs modulo 2 and modulo 4. For example, if you could change a Shedinja's HP IV from 1 to 29, the type and power of Hidden Power would not change. This is because 1 and 29 are congruent modulo 2 and modulo 4.

== Trivia ==

When adding trivia is allowed, shouldn't it be noted that it is (theoretically) possible to make a Shedinja immune to all forms of direct damage? This can be done by done by entering a [[double battle]]/[[triple battle]] with {{p|Staryu}} knowing {{m|Reflect Type}} and a Shedinja knowing {{m|Mimic}}.
*Staryu uses Reflect Type. Shedinja, who is slower than Staryu, uses Mimic on Staryu. The foes do anything but [[faint]] Shedinja
*Staryu switches out into {{p|Sableye}}/{{p|Spiritomb}}. Shedinja uses Mimic-Reflect Type on Spiritomb. The foes do anything but faint Shedinja before it uses Mimic-Reflect Type
*Shedinja is now invincible to any means of direct damage.
And then, Shedinja starts destroying the entire world during the battle. --[[User:Enervation|Enervation]] 00:07, 7 September 2011 (UTC)
:It could be done with any Pokemon. Have a Pokemon use Skill Swap to obtain Wonder Guard, then dothe res. I dont think its notable. '''X'''[[User:Vuvuzela2010|'''Vuvuzela2010''']]'''X''' 08:16, 7 September 2011 (UTC)

== 1 HP trivia: composed of assumptions? ==

''"If Shedinja obtains Sturdy in Generation V, it can survive any direct attack"''

Edit:
:Opps I interpreted it wrong when I first read the statement. Please ignore what I wrote before. So Gen V, sturdy only blocks [[One-hit knockout move]]s which is not just 'any' attack. However on Gen V, when a Pokemon is brought from full HP to 0 HP, instead of being KO'd it has 1HP remaining instead. In a way it acts like an auto-[[Endure]] that is immediately in effect when the Pokemon is brought to battle and has a 100% of working :-) [[User:Blueknightex|Blueknightex]] 11:37, 28 April 2012 (UTC)

:::{{m|Hidden Power}}'s type and power depend on every stat IV.

[[User:Diby esp|Gabriel Rocha (Diby esp)]] 00:43, 3 June 2009 (UTC)
::::No, it wouldn't. The formula for calculating the strength and type of Hidden Power relies only on the IVs modulo 2 and modulo 4. For example, if you could change a Shedinja's HP IV from 1 to 29, the type and power of Hidden Power would not change. This is because 1 and 29 are congruent modulo 2 and modulo 4.

== Trivia ==

When adding trivia is allowed, shouldn't it be noted that it is (theoretically) possible to make a Shedinja immune to all forms of direct damage? This can be done by done by entering a [[double battle]]/[[triple battle]] with {{p|Staryu}} knowing {{m|Reflect Type}} and a Shedinja knowing {{m|Mimic}}.
*Staryu uses Reflect Type. Shedinja, who is slower than Staryu, uses Mimic on Staryu. The foes do anything but [[faint]] Shedinja
*Staryu switches out into {{p|Sableye}}/{{p|Spiritomb}}. Shedinja uses Mimic-Reflect Type on Spiritomb. The foes do anything but faint Shedinja before it uses Mimic-Reflect Type
*Shedinja is now invincible to any means of direct damage.
And then, Shedinja starts destroying the entire world during the battle. --[[User:Enervation|Enervation]] 00:07, 7 September 2011 (UTC)

For example, if you could change a Shedinja's HP IV from 1 to 29, the type and power of Hidden Power would not change. This is because 1 and 29 are congruent modulo 2 and modulo 4. For more information, see the "Number of possible Hidden Powers" section of the Hidden Power calculation article. [[User:Ali 247|Ali 247]] 17:53, 17 August 2009 (UTC)

== Best type? ==

Due to Shedinja's ability, Wonder Guard, is there any combined set of types that would leave it immune to damage (not counting status-affecting moves and weather)? [[User:Casmith 789|Casmith 789]] 15:18, 17 August 2007 (UTC)
:Dark/Ghost and Ghost/Dark, the types of {{p|Spiritomb}} and {{p|Sableye}}, combine to have no weakness (except when Foresight, Odor Sleuth, and/or Miracle Eye are used). Neither of them have Wonder Guard, though. '''[[User:TTEchidna|T]][[User talk:TTEchidna|T]][[wp:Echidna|Echidna]]''' 03:09, 18 August 2007 (UTC)
::Thanks, after finally catching a Spiritomb I figured this out for myself! [[User:Casmith 789|Casmith 789]] 08:46, 8 September 2007 (UTC)

there would be no such thing as a super effective attack.
:::It's completely impossible to be immune from damage, no matter what one does. Even a (hacked, let's say) Dark/Ghost-type with Wonder Guard would be hurt by weather attacks.

== Breeding ==

If you breed a Shedinja with a Ditto, will you get a Nincada or another Shedinja? It doesn't say anywhere on the page. Since Shedinja is just Nincada's old exoskeleton brought to life, it would be weird if it could produce a whole new Nincada on its own. - [[User:Buddy Christ|Buddy Christ]] 22:44, 22 April 2008 (UTC)
:Last time I checked Shedinja doesn't have a gender, and I somehow doubt that a Ditto can breed the genderless as it has gender last time I remember. You can prove me wrong, it has been a long time since I last checked. [[User:TheBlazikenMaster|TheBlazikenMaster]] 22:32, 22 April 2008 (UTC)
::Ditto can breed with the genderless, otherwise we'd have no {{p|Phione}}, no baby {{p|Porygon}}, and a heck of a lot of problems. It's the genderless that can't interbreed. Ditto makes it all possible (unless you're in the {{egg2|No eggs}}). It results in a Nincada, same as if you bred the Ninjask. The only odd thing is... Shedinja is in the {{egg2|Mineral}}...

== Gender ==
When I use the name rater, despite being genderless, Shedinja will have a gender when we write a new nickname. Wouldn't that be a nice information for trivia? [[User:Diby esp|Gabriel Rocha (Diby esp)]] 02:19, 5 June 2009 (UTC)

== Belly Drum ==

There is a website where you can "hack" certain moves onto a Pokémon that couldn't normally learn it. I was wondering what would happen if you hack Belly Drum on to Shedinja and then try to use it. My guess is that it would fail, but i want to be sure. {{unsigned|Benboy803}}

== Trivia ==

When adding trivia is allowed, shouldn't it be noted that it is (theoretically) possible to make a Shedinja immune to all forms of direct damage? This can be done by done by entering a [[double battle]]/[[triple battle]] with {{p|Staryu}} knowing {{m|Reflect Type}} and a Shedinja knowing {{m|Mimic}}.
*Staryu uses Reflect Type. Shedinja, who is slower than Staryu, uses Mimic on Staryu. The foes do anything but [[faint]] Shedinja
*Staryu switches out into {{p|Sableye}}/{{p|Spiritomb}}. Shedinja uses Mimic-Reflect Type on Spiritomb. The foes do anything but faint Shedinja before it uses Mimic-Reflect Type
*Shedinja is now invincible to any means of direct damage.
And then, Shedinja starts destroying the entire world during the battle. --[[User:Enervation|Enervation]] 00:07, 7 September 2011 (UTC)
:It could be done with any Pokemon. Have a Pokemon use Skill Swap to obtain Wonder Guard, then dothe res. I dont think its notable. '''X'''[[User:Vuvuzela2010|'''Vuvuzela2010''']]'''X''' 08:16, 7 September 2011 (UTC)

== Can Trivia entries be composed of assumptions? ==

''"If Shedinja obtains Sturdy in Generation V, it can survive any direct attack"''

Impossible because:
* A Pokemon can only have one ability. It cannot have two. For this to happen you would need both Wonder Guard and Sturdy.
* Trivia implies that this will only be possible if the game introduces two abilities for a single Pokemon.

This is an assumption based on personal thoughts. Its like saying that "if GameFreak introduced this feature, this Pokemon would be the most strongest one in the entire world". Trivia implies that maybe if GameFreak changes its game-engines this is possible. Can Trivia's be composed of assumptions? [[User:Blueknightex|Blueknightex]] 11:15, 28 April 2012 (UTC)

==Trivia==
* Out of all Pokémon that evolve by a set level, Larvesta evolves later than any other Pokémon who have not yet evolved, at level 59.
* No other Pokémon has the same [[type]] [[List of Pokémon with unique type combinations|combination]] as Larvesta and its {{p|Volcarona|evolution}}.
* Larvesta is the last Pokémon in the [[National Pokédex]] that can evolve into another Pokémon.
* Larvesta learns a new move every ten levels. It would share this trait with its evolved form, but Volcarona also learns {{m|Quiver Dance}} at level 59.
* For reasons unknown, Larvesta and Volcarona cannot learn {{m|Attract}}, despite having genders and being compatible with other TMs. They share this trait with {{p|Nincada}}, although Nincada's inability to learn the move is likely due to a desire to keep the genderless {{p|Shedinja}} from learning it. They also share this trait with {{p|Ferroseed}} and {{p|Ferrothorn}}.
* Larvesta, along with its evolution, are the only known Pokémon with a double weakness to the {{type|Rock}} that are not {{type|Flying}}s.

===Origin===
Larvesta is based on a {{wp|moth}} and the famed Japanese monument, the {{wp|Tower of the Sun}}. Larvesta appears to be based on an {{wp|Attacus atlas|Atlas moth}} larva. The way its red growths are shaped and positioned on its circular body may be a reference to the sun. It may also be based on a {{wp|torch}}.

====Name origin====
Larvesta's name is derived from ''larva'', a term for an infant insect, and ''{{wp|Vesta (mythology)|Vesta}}'', Roman goddess of the hearth and home, symbolised and represented by an eternally-burning fire located in her {{wp|Temple of Vesta|temple}}. It may also come from ''lava'', molten rock expelled by a volcano during an eruption, referring to it being the larva stage of its {{p|Volcarona|evolved form}} whose name is derived from ''volcano''.

Merlarva may derive from めらめら ''meramera'', onomatopoeia for flaring, and ''larva''.

'''Azurill''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ルリリ''' ''Ruriri'') is a {{type2|Normal}} [[baby Pokémon]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Marill}} when [[level]]ed up with high [[happiness]], which evolves into {{p|Azumarill}} starting at [[level]] 18.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Azurill's ball tail appears to be the biggest of its evolution family; this is due to Azurill's body itself being small. It is large and bouncy, and packed full of the nutrients this Pokémon needs to grow. Azurill can be seen bouncing and playing on its big, rubbery tail. The tail is a flotation device in water. It is the only one of its evolutions with white to the side of its cheeks (similar to {{p|Pikachu}}), not under its chest. It also has no arms; however, this does not affect its mobility.
====Gender differences====
None.

===Special abilities===
Azurill spins its tail as if it were a lasso, then hurls it far. The momentum of the throw sends its body flying, too. Using this unique action, one of these Pokémon managed to hurl itself a record 33 feet.

Battling-wise, Azurill are incredibly weak due to their infantile state, having very little potential.

===Behavior===
On sunny days, they gather at the edge of water and splash about for fun. Azurill will spin its tail as if it were a lasso, then hurl it far. The momentum of the throw sends its body flying, too.

===Habitat===
[[File:Watersedge.gif|left|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Water's-edge Pokémon}}]]
Azurill live by the water.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}
Azurill are {{a|Sap Sipper|herbivores}}.

Azurill and his older brother, {{p|Marill}}, continue to search for the item Water Float, hearing that there's one at the beach. Soon after, Azurill and Marill find out that it is at [[Amp Plains]], and ask if the player and his/her partner could get it. Later on, Azurill falls into an unwakeable nightmare, and the player has to get Drowzee's help to look into his dream.

==Trivia==
* Azurill is the first Generation III Pokémon by National Pokédex order to be related to a Pokémon of a previous generation.
*Azurill is, by statistical average, the second-weakest Pokémon in the games, stronger only than {{p|Sunkern}}.
*Azurill and {{p|Wynaut}} are the first two Pokémon which are only breedable from their evolved forms if the parent is holding a certain [[incense]].
**They are also, coincidentally, the only {{cat|Generation III Pokémon}} related to Pokémon of a previous generation.
*Azurill is one of only two Pokémon to change its type completely upon evolution. The other is {{p|Eevee}}.
**Coincidentally, both these Pokémon are {{type2|Normal}}, and can evolve into a {{type2|Water}}.
* Polka dots are known in Japan as 水玉 ''mizutama'', literally meaning water balls. This may explain why Azurill is known as the Polka Dot Pokémon.
** This name also reflects the way Azurill is indirectly related with {{t|Water}}.
*Azurill is currently the only Pokémon which does not evolve based on gender whose gender ratio does not match that of its evolved forms, being female 75% of the time while Marill and Azumarill are female only 50% of the time. Due to this, one of every three female Azurill evolve into a male Marill (whether or not this will happen is determined by the hidden [[personality value]]). It is unknown if this is an error in programming or if it was intentional to reference real-world animals that change sex under specific conditions.
*Azurill, along with {{p|Wailmer}} and {{p|Kecleon}}, was one of the first {{cat|Generation III Pokémon}} revealed, in early March of 2001.
**This is similar to how its evolved form {{p|Marill}} was introduced before [[Generation II]].
*Azurill has the lowest base stat total of all baby Pokémon.
*Azurill is the only Pokémon which evolves through [[happiness]] whose evolution evolves by level.
*With Huge Power, Azurill can reach the highest Attack stat of all Baby Pokémon, capping at a maximum of 304.
*Azurill is the only non-{{type|Water}} to learn {{m|Soak}}, but only through breeding.
** However, it does evolve into a Water-type Pokémon.
* Azurill is the only Pokémon that has a base stat total of 190.

===Origin===
Azurill appears to be a {{wp|mouse}} combined with a {{wp|beach ball}} or possibly a {{wp|personal flotation device}} or {{wp|lifebuoy}}.

====Name origin====
Azurill's name is a combination of ''{{wp|azure}}'' or azul, referring to its color, and ''rill''. ''Ruriri'' seems to be a corruption of 瑠璃 ''ruri'', {{wp|lapis lazuli}}, which is probably in its evolution's, {{p|Marill}}'s, name, or it could be a variation of {{wp|azurite}}, a blue rock.

'''Electivire''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''エレキブル''' ''Elekible'') is an {{type2|Electric}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Electabuzz}} when [[trade]]d holding an {{DL|Evolution-inducing held item|Electirizer}}. It is the final form of {{p|Elekid}}.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Electivire is a humanoid creature covered in yellow fur with black stripes, and five black fingers on each of its hands. It lacks a neck, similarly to its baby form, {{p|Elekid}}, and has red eyes, a black spot on its forehead and the same antennae as {{p|Electabuzz}}. There is a pattern on Electivire's back that resembles an electric outlet that would accept a plug similar to the one on Elekid's head, and it has two black tails that each have a red tip. Electivire has black feet with three toes in the front.

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

====Special abilities====
Electivire can use attacks that its pre-evolutions can use, except that Electivire's attacks will be more powerful. However, Electivire is also capable of knowing {{m|Flamethrower}}, {{m|Earthquake}} and {{m|Rock Slide}}. {{t|Electric}}al attacks are unable to do any damage to Electivire, but will instead {{a|Motor Drive|increase its speed}}.

===Behavior===

===Habitat===
Electivire hide away in complex power plants. Some also live atop cliffs and mountains, while some nest in dark, dense forests.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

Electivire usually feed off electric currents. In the last episode of the [[Advanced Generation series]], when [[Team Rocket]] first saw Gary's Electivire, it was eating fruits that it got off the trees.

==In the anime==
[[File:Volkner Electivire.png|250px|thumb|Electivire in the anime]]

====[[Paul's Electivire]]====
[[Paul]] had an {{p|Electabuzz}} which evolved into {{TP|Paul|Electivire}} prior to ''[[DP184|Casting a Paul on Barry!]]''.

==In the manga==
[[Mars]] of [[Team Galactic]] is shown in possession of an Electivire. However, it is only present in the graphic novel releases, replacing the {{p|Luxray}} that occupied the role of transferring electric power needed for the completion of the Galactic Bomb.

When hit with an Electric-type attack, it takes no damage, and its Speed increases. Electabuzz evolves into Electivire if you trade it while it's holding an Electirizer. Electivire is famed for having the strongest physical attacks of Electric-type Pokémon."''

==Trivia==
[[File:Voldon.png|thumb|Voldon's Electivire Costume]]
* Electivire has the highest {{stat|Attack}} and base stat total of all non-legendary {{type2|Electric}} Pokémon.
* Electivire shares the same [[species]] name with {{p|Zebstrika}}. They are both known as Thunderbolt Pokémon.
** It is one of a few Pokémon whose species name in English is the same as the name of a {{m|Thunderbolt|move}}.
* Electivire, along with {{p|Magmortar}}, {{p|Gliscor}}, and {{p|Tangrowth}}, are the only {{cat|Generation IV Pokémon}} that explicitly required the use of a [[Generation III]] game in order to be available until the release of {{game|Platinum}}. In this case, both the {{DL|Evolution-inducing held item|Electirizer}} and {{p|Elekid}} are only available through [[dual-slot mode]] with {{game3|FireRed and LeafGreen|Pokémon FireRed|s}}.
** This excepts the special Electivire available through Battle Revolution.
* An Electivire Costume is worn by [[Voldon]] in Pokémon Battle Revolution.
*Electivire was the only [[Generation IV]] Pokémon in the {{pkmn|anime}} that [[AG192|debuted]] before the [[Diamond & Pearl series]] not to have debuted in a {{pkmn|movie}} first.
* Electivire can learn {{m|Fire Punch}}, a move not of its type, in three different ways: as a starting move, by tutoring, and as an egg move. It shares this trait with its counterpart, {{p|Magmortar}}, who learns {{m|ThunderPunch}} in this manner.
**{{p|Magmortar}} and Electivire's relation is reminiscent of that of {{p|Reshiram}} and {{p|Zekrom}}, since both are oppositions between fire and electricity.

===Origin===
Electivire was likely based on a {{wp|gorilla}} due to it being two-legged and its hairy features. It may also be based on a {{wp|Yeti}}, an ape-like {{wp|cryptid}} that was said to inhabit the {{wp|Himalaya Mountains}}. Unlike a gorilla, it can walk with its large bare-feet much like how an Electivire can. Its Motor Drive Ability is similar to an electric motor.

====Name origin====
''Electivire'' is a combination of the words ''electricity'' and ''wire'', referring to its cord-like tails.

Elekible appears to be a combination of エレキテル ''erekiteru'', electricity, and ケーブル ''kēburu'', cable.

==Trivia==
* Out of all Pokémon that evolve by a set level, Larvesta evolves later than any other Pokémon who have not yet evolved, at level 59.
* No other Pokémon has the same [[type]] [[List of Pokémon with unique type combinations|combination]] as Larvesta and its {{p|Volcarona|evolution}}.
* Larvesta is the last Pokémon in the [[National Pokédex]] that evolves into another Pokémon.
* Larvesta learns a new move every ten levels. It would share this trait with its evolved form, but Volcarona also learns {{m|Quiver Dance}} at level 59.
* For reasons unknown, Larvesta and Volcarona cannot learn {{m|Attract}}, despite having genders and being compatible with other TMs. They share this trait with {{p|Nincada}}, although Nincada's inability to learn the move is likely due to a desire to keep the genderless {{p|Shedinja}} from learning it. They also share this trait with {{p|Ferroseed}} and {{p|Ferrothorn}}.
* Larvesta, along with its evolution, are the only known Pokémon with a double weakness to the {{type|Rock}} that are not {{type|Flying}}s.

===Origin===
Larvesta is based on a {{wp|moth}} and the famed Japanese monument, the {{wp|Tower of the Sun}}. Larvesta appears to be based on an {{wp|Attacus atlas|Atlas moth}} larva. The way its red growths are shaped and positioned on its circular body may be a reference to the sun. It may also be based on a {{wp|torch}}.

====Name origin====
Larvesta's name is derived from ''larva'', a term for an infant insect, and ''{{wp|Vesta (mythology)|Vesta}}'', Roman goddess of the hearth and home, symbolised and represented by an eternally-burning fire located in her {{wp|Temple of Vesta|temple}}. It may also come from ''lava'', molten rock expelled by a volcano during an eruption, referring to it being the larva stage of its {{p|Volcarona|evolved form}} whose name is derived from ''volcano''.

Merlarva may derive from めらめら ''meramera'', onomatopoeia for flaring, and ''larva''.
