BobBot321: /* History */

'''Gigantamax''' (Japanese: '''キョダイマックス''' ''Kyodaimax'') is a special kind of [[Dynamax]] introduced in [[Generation VIII]]. Like other Dynamaxing, Gigantamaxing increases a Pokémon's size drastically and its HP in battle. Only certain species of Pokémon can Gigantamax, and when they do, their appearance changes significantly, unlike regular Dynamaxing. As revealed by [[Professor Magnolia]], the Pokémon distorts space to change its size while affecting the world around them while altering their appearance drastically.

==History==
Like [[Dynamax]], the Gigantamax transformation originated from {{p|Eternatus}}, who provides the [[Galar]] region with Power Spots where the transformation can be triggered. The Galar Particles left by Eternatus affected the Pokémon living in [[Galar]], giving few of them the Gigantamax Factor needed for transformation. These Pokémon may only be found in [[Wild Area|Pokémon Dens]]. Like Dynamax, a [[Wishing Star]] and [[Dynamax Band]] are required to use the Gigantamax transformation.

==Gigantamax Factor==
Even within species that are capable of Gigantamaxing, only certain individuals can Gigantamax. Pokémon that can Gigantamax are said to have the '''Gigantamax Factor'''.<ref>[https://www.pokemon.com/us/strategy/train-raid-and-hatch-pokemon-to-breed-victories-in-pokemon-sword-and-pokemon-shield/ Train, Raid, and Hatch Pokémon to Breed Victories in ''Pokémon Sword and Pokémon Shield'']</ref> Pokémon with the Gigantamax Factor can be seen having the [[File:Dynamax icon.png|24px]] symbol next to their name on the summary screen.

When a Pokémon Dynamaxes, if it has the Gigantamax Factor and is of a species that has a '''Gigantamax form''' (Japanese: '''キョダイマックスのすがた'''), it will turn into its Gigantamax form. If it does not have the Gigantamax Factor it will simply Dynamax as normal; if it has the Gigantamax Factor but does not have its own Gigantamax form (e.g. because it evolves into a Pokémon that does), it will also Dynamax as normal.

Unlike others of their species, {{p|Pikachu}}, {{p|Meowth}}, and {{p|Eevee}} with the Gigantamax Factor cannot [[evolution|evolve]].

===Acquisition===
In {{g|Sword and Shield}}, Pokémon with the Gigantamax Factor can typically be caught in [[Max Raid Battle]]s, but have a rare encounter rate and typically a lower [[catch rate]]. If the wild Pokémon has the Gigantamax Factor, it will appear in its Gigantamax form in the Max Raid Battle. Some Gigantamax Max Raid Battles can only be encountered through limited-time [[Max Raid Battle#Wild Area News|Wild Area Event]]s. In addition, {{p|Machamp}} and {{p|Coalossal}} with the Gigantamax Factor are exclusive to Pokémon Sword, and {{p|Gengar}} and {{p|Lapras}} with the Gigantamax Factor are exclusive to Pokémon Shield. Online players with the opposite game may still join Max Raid Battles to obtain these forms.

{{p|Pikachu}}, {{p|Eevee}}, and {{p|Charmander}} with the Gigantamax Factor can be obtained as [[gift Pokémon]]. {{p|Meowth}} with the Gigantamax Factor must be obtained via [[Mystery Gift]].

[[Pokémon breeding|Bred]] Pokémon cannot inherit the Gigantamax Factor.

==Effects==
In its Gigantamax form, a Pokémon can use a [[G-Max Move]]. Each G-Max Move is exclusive to a specific species of Gigantamax Pokémon. All of a Gigantamax Pokémon's moves of a certain type turn into G-Max Moves instead of their corresponding [[Max Move]]. Outside of G-Max Moves, Gigantamax is functionally identical to Dynamax; Pokémon's HP increases according to its Dynamax Level, while all other stats and its [[Ability]] remain the same.

The Gigantamax Factor cannot be copied using {{m|Transform}} or {{a|Imposter}}. Instead, if done so, the user would only [[Dynamax]] to its standard form.

In the [[Pokédex]], Gigantamax forms are all listed with [[List of Pokémon by height|heights]] ending in a plus, suggesting that the recorded height is only a minimal estimate, and [[List of Pokémon by weight|weights]] of "???", suggesting that their weights are immeasurable. A Gigantamax Pokémon must be used in battle in order to register the Gigantamax entry in the player's Pokédex; this is in contrast to other [[List of Pokémon with form differences|form differences]], whereby the form difference only has to be seen in order to register the entry as long as at least one of the other forms of the Pokémon is registered as owned.

==In the anime==
[[File:Gigantamax Snorlax anime.png|thumb|250px|A Gigantamax Snorlax in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]
Gigantamaxing debuted in [[SS005]], where {{Ash}} and {{an|Go}} witnessed a {{p|Snorlax}} Gigantamaxing in the [[Wild Area]] and had to figure out a way to stop an incoming train from colliding with it.
{{-}}

==Trivia==
* There is at least one Gigantamax form and G-Max Move of every type.
* Currently, almost all Pokémon who can Gigantamax are from either [[Generation I]] or [[Generation VIII]].
** The only exceptions to this are {{p|Garbodor}} and {{p|Melmetal}}, who are from [[Generation V]] and [[Generation VII]], respectively.
* {{p|Flapple}} and {{p|Appletun}} are the only Pokémon who share a Gigantamax form, although their G-Max Moves are different.
* Although {{p|Toxtricity}} and {{p|Alcremie}} have [[List of Pokémon with form differences|multiple alternate forms]], they each have only one Gigantamax form. Additionally, only one of Alcremie's forms can Gigantamax.
* {{p|Melmetal}} is the only [[Mythical Pokémon]] with a Gigantamax form.
* There are no [[Legendary Pokémon]] with a Gigantamax form.
* {{p|Charizard}} and {{p|Gengar}} are the only Pokémon who can both Gigantamax and [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]].

====Malie Library====
The Malie Library is a two-story building located in the north off the city's west road where the public can come to read any of the books in the library. The upper floor contains several books on Alola's past, touching on the [[guardian deities]], [[Island Kahuna]]s, and [[Legendary Pokémon]].

===Outer Cape===
====Recycling Plant====
The Recycling Plant at the cape processes all of the garbage produced in Alola. Human {{tc|Janitor}}s gather the garbage which is then consumed by {{p|Grimer}} and {{p|Muk}}.

====Battle styles====
An old man named [[Gester]] teaches battle styles here and allows the player to change their battle style to any style they've learned. Battle styles refer to how the player sends out a Pokémon at the beginning of a battle and are purely for aesthetic.

===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
Malie City first appeared in the {{chap|Sun & Moon}}. After breaking out of [[Po Town]]'s barrier, a group of [[Ultra Beasts]] began causing havoc all over Ula'ula Island. A {{p|Guzzlord}} and {{p|Celesteela}} made their way to Malie City Outer Cape, where they destroyed the Recycling Plant and burned down a boat from a nearby dock. Afterward, they headed down to the city itself. Innocent civilians caught up in the danger were transported to [[Hokulani Observatory]] for shelter.

==Trivia==
* In [[Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon]], the man in the Ula'ula Ferry Terminal who gives the player a [[Nugget]] says that he dug up lots of Nuggets on the [[Sevii Islands]]. This heavily suggests that this man [[List_of_cross-generational_references|is the same one]] who can be found mining for gold at [[Three Isle Path]] in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, further supported by their similar dialogue.
* Arabella, the Trainer referenced by {{tc|Rising Star}} Nainoa, is a Gym Trainer who appears in the [[Viridian Gym]] in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}.

[[File:Poké Balls GL.png|thumb|250px|The 27 Poké Ball variants found in the [[core series]]]]
[[File:Poké Ball sketch.png|thumb|250px|Original concept]]
A '''Poké Ball''' (Japanese: '''モンスターボール''' ''Monster Ball'') is a type of [[item]] that is critical to a {{pkmn|Trainer}}'s quest, used for {{pkmn2|caught|catching}} and storing {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. Both a general term used to describe the various kinds as well as a specific term to refer to the most basic among these variations, Poké Balls are ubiquitous in the modern Pokémon world. Up to six Pokémon can be carried with a {{pkmn|Trainer}} in Poké Balls, while more Poké Balls can be held in the [[Bag]] for later use. These six Pokémon in the Poké Balls can be attached to the user's belt for carrying them around. Some Pokémon do not like to be carried around in Poké Balls, such as [[Ash's Pikachu]].

The strength of a Poké Ball is determined by how much it raises a [[wild Pokémon]]'s [[catch rate]], and may in fact vary depending on the conditions of the battle. Poké Balls limit the power of Pokémon contained inside, taming them, though they do not cause the Pokémon inside to always obey the Trainer.

Stylized Poké Balls are used in many places to symbolize Pokémon in general: the logos of the [[Battle Frontier]]s, the [[Pokémon Contest]]s, the [[Pokéathlon]], and the [[Pokémon Musical]] all feature a Poké Ball in their design, while several Poké Balls can be seen in every Pokémon Center. The headgear of the protagonists of [[Kanto]], [[Hoenn]], [[Sinnoh]], and [[Unova]]-based games feature Poké Ball designs, as do the [[Bag]]s of the protagonists of [[Johto]]-based games. {{ga|Ethan}}'s headgear is also similar to the top half of an Ultra Ball, and {{ga|Lucas}}'s Bag prominently features a Poké Ball.

==History==
{{main|History of Poké Balls}}
The invention of Poké Balls occurred in the [[Johto]] region, where [[Apricorn]]s grow; these fruit were cut apart and carved out, then fitted with a special device, and used to catch wild Pokémon prior to the mass production of the Balls that occurs in modern times under [[Silph Co.]], the [[Devon Corporation]], and the Kalos [[Poké Ball Factory]]. Some Trainers still use Poké Balls made from Apricorns, while [[Kurt]], a resident of [[Azalea Town]], still constructs them. In the games, in the [[Memory Link]] event {{DL|Memory Link|A New Light}}, [[Drayden]] claims that Poké Balls did not exist during his childhood. In the anime, in ''[[EP095|A Shipful of Shivers]]'', Poké Balls are found in the [[ghost ship]], implying that Poké Balls were first made at least 300 years ago. According to the [[Encyclopedia Pokemonica]] and a [[Pokémon Daisuki Club]] site describing the [[Pokémon world]], modern Poké Balls were developed in 1925 from the research of [[Professor Westwood V|Professor Westwood]] of [[Celadon University]].

According to ''[[Pocket Monsters: The Animation]]'', Poké Balls were developed to allow for various trainers to efficiently capture and train Pokémon in relatively little risk to themselves, as the act of training a Pokémon often results in severe injuries and even death. It also claims that the Pokémon {{p|Primeape}} and its notoriously violent nature was directly responsible for their creation.

Prior to the invention of Poké Balls, Pokémon were referred to as magical creatures (Japanese: {{tt|魔獣|まじゅう}} ''majū''), indicating that the name Pokémon, short for Pocket Monster, did not come into common parlance as a term until Poké Balls allowed the various magical creatures to be stored easily.

==Mechanics and design==
[[File:Anime Poke Ball Mechanics.jpg|thumb|220px|A schematic displaying Poké Ball size, storage, and mechanics]]
Though the technology behind a Poké Ball remains unknown and has evolved through the centuries to accommodate the diverse requirements of their creators, the basic mechanics are simple enough to understand and tend to remain constant: in a [[Pokémon battle]], once an opposing wild Pokémon has been weakened, the Pokémon Trainer can throw a Poké Ball at it. When a Poké Ball hits the Pokémon, as long as it is not deflected, the Poké Ball will open, convert the Pokémon to a form of energy, pull it into its center, and close. A Pokémon in this state is given a chance to struggle to attempt to break free from the ball and escape, being instantly re-converted from energy into matter. Should a Pokémon escape a Poké Ball, the device will either be destroyed (in the games and some manga) or will return to the Trainer (anime), who can attempt once again to catch the Pokémon. A Pokémon who does not escape the Ball will be {{pkmn2|caught}}.

Poké Balls are specifically constructed for Pokémon capture, transport and training. As well as being physically difficult to escape from (as they seal tightly shut as soon as a Pokémon is taken into them) the environment of a Poké Ball is designed to be attractive to Pokémon also; according to Lucian of the [[Sinnoh]] [[Elite Four]], weakened Pokémon instinctively curl up tight in an attempt to heal themselves, an action that the environment of the Poké Ball encourages. Furthermore, while it is not known how caught Pokémon perceives their time inside their Ball, the device is said to replicate a "Pokémon-friendly" environment that is "designed for comfort". All of these factors strongly discourage Pokémon from escaping their Balls. In the manga, Bugsy refers to his "capture net" as being the net that is supposedly inside a Poké Ball, but visible and already deployed. According to Kurt, this invisible net captures and physically stores a Pokémon.

[[File:Poke Ball Interior.png|thumb|left|220px|Interior of a Poké Ball from the anime]]
Poké Balls are not always at full size. Pressing the button on the front will convert it between its full size, about the size of a {{wp|Baseball (object)|baseball}}, to a smaller size, about that of a {{wp|Table tennis#The ball|ping-pong ball}}, and back again. The larger size makes throwing the ball easier, while the smaller one makes for easier storage on a belt clip, in pockets, and in Bags.

As mentioned, the generic Poké Ball design is not constant and has been remodeled and altered innumerable times in order to create new Poké Balls that are adapted for specific conditions. For example, it is seen in several anime episodes such as ''[[AG065|Gulpin it Down!]]'' and ''[[AG104|Claydol Big and Tall]]'' that normal Poké Balls have difficulty catching Pokémon which are extremely large or extremely heavy. In the latter episode, it is revealed that ancient civilizations overcame this issue by constructing immense Poké Balls many times the size of the standard model known today, and made from stone instead. Other civilizations such as [[Pokémopolis]] also discovered new technologies that more closely resembled modern Poké Ball technology, such as the [[Pokémopolis#Pokémopolis artifacts|Dark Device]] and the [[Pokémopolis#Pokémopolis artifacts|Unearthly Urn]], which were also adapted for the capture and storage of massive Pokémon but in small containers. However, devices like these became lost to the ages and their roles were subsequently supplanted by Heavy Balls in the modern world.

[[File:Paul Chimchar release.png|thumb|220px|[[Paul]] releasing {{TP|Paul|Chimchar}}]]
When a Pokémon is sent out from a Poké Ball, it will be accompanied by a distinctive sound effect and a bright light as it returns from its energy form and materialize nearby, often on the ground. This bright light has been shown to vary depending on the type of Ball in which the Pokémon is contained in the games, while it has always been shown to be white in the anime. Pokémon are recalled to their Poké Ball by holding up the Poké Ball with its button pointed at the Pokémon. A beam of red, white, or blue light will shoot from the button, converting the Pokémon back into energy and returning it to the Ball. The beam, however, has a limited range, and can be dodged by the Pokémon. If the beam hits a person, they will be stunned for a moment, but aside from that no ill effects will make themselves apparent.

[[Released Pokémon|Releasing]] a Pokémon from a Trainer's ownership, unlike normally sending the Pokémon out, will bathe the Pokémon in a blue glow, and the Poké Ball will no longer mark it, making it able to be caught by another Trainer's Poké Ball.

A Poké Ball can also be broken, which will release it from ownership, as seen when Jessie releases her Dustox in ''[[DP073|Crossing Paths]]''. If a Trainer has done so accidentally, it must somehow be fixed before the Pokémon can be recalled. This was seen in ''[[EP107|Pokémon Food Fight!]]'', where Ash becomes unable to recall Snorlax after its Poké Ball is broken. In the manga, if a Poké Ball is broken before a Pokémon is sent out, then that particular Pokémon cannot be used until their Poké Ball has been repaired. This happened several times in the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga, such as during {{adv|Red}}'s battle against {{adv|Giovanni}}, where the opening mechanism for the Poké Balls of Red's [[Saur|Venusaur]] and [[Gyara]]dos were damaged, preventing either of them from being used in the match.

Pokémon appear to be conscious while inside Poké Balls. Several Pokémon have shown the ability to leave and return to their Poké Balls at will, most notably among them [[Jessie's Wobbuffet]], [[Misty's Psyduck]], [[Ash's Oshawott]], [[Brock's Croagunk]], and [[Clemont's Chespin]] which tend to do so in every episode they appear in. In ''[[EP031|Dig Those Diglett!]]'', many Pokémon belonging to [[Gary Oak]], as well as other Trainers, including Ash Ketchum, demonstrated the ability to prevent themselves from being sent from their Poké Balls, as they refused to fight against the Diglett, though this has not been demonstrated since. Pokémon have also shown to be able to hear orders given by their Trainer right before they are sent out.

[[File:Iris Dragonite inside Poké Ball.png|thumb|left|250px|[[Iris's Dragonite]] inside a Poké Ball in the anime]]
Poké Balls are able to communicate with a Trainer's [[Pokédex]], as the system updates itself with information on newly-caught Pokémon, and keeps track of how many Pokémon the Trainer has with them. If a Trainer catches a new Pokémon with the full six already with them, the Pokédex will automatically send the newly-caught Pokémon in its Poké Ball to the [[Pokémon Storage System]] that the Trainer is using. As shown in ''[[DP002|Two Degrees of Separation]]'', a Pokémon caught by a Poké Ball is "marked" by it, and thus most Poké Balls thrown at it will have no effect aside from temporarily stunning it. In the games, as well as in ''[[EP073|Bad to the Bone]]'', however, the Trainer of the Pokémon will block a Poké Ball thrown by another, though it is possible that this is more out of courtesy to their Pokémon than to prevent capture outright. In ''[[EP011|Charmander – The Stray Pokémon]]'', Ash was able to catch his {{AP|Charmander}} in a Poké Ball despite his previous ownership by [[Damian|another Trainer]], though it may have lost its "mark" when it abandoned its previous Trainer by refusing to return to its old Poké Ball. Earlier in the same episode, Ash failed to catch the same Charmander while it still held its loyalty, despite its weak condition.

Other wireless capabilities of Poké Balls are shown in ''[[M07|Destiny Deoxys]]'', as when the electricity of the city is down, {{OBP|Rebecca|M07}} claims that the "Poké Ball Management System" was no longer working without power. There has been no mention of any such system since.

Poké Balls are able to be decorated to no ill effect, with several Poké Balls that have been painted with special colors being seen in the anime. Additionally, a [[Ball Capsule]] can be used in combination with [[Seal]]s to create special effects when the Pokémon is sent out.

==Poké Ball accuracy==
In some scenarios, a Poké Ball can miss the wild Pokémon completely (in contrast to breaking if the Poké Ball does not successfully capture the Pokémon):
* In the [[Generation I]] games, it was possible for a ball to miss the Pokémon when the likelihood of catching the Pokémon in question was particularly low—rather than the ball throwing animation playing and the ball wiggling zero times, a message would come up stating "You missed the <sc>Pokémon</sc>!".
* In the Generation I games and {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, the {{OBP|ghost|literal}}s in [[Lavender Town]]'s [[Pokémon Tower]] dodge any ball thrown at them before being unmasked by the [[Silph Scope]]. The [[Marowak (ghost)|Marowak ghost]] will dodge all Poké Balls even if it is unmasked.

In other scenarios, it is simply not possible to use Poké Balls in the first place:
* In the Generation I and II core series games, if both the player's party and their current [[Pokémon Storage System|Box]] are full, the player cannot throw a Poké Ball.
* In the [[core series]] games, in {{pkmn2|wild}} battles the player cannot throw a Poké Ball if there are multiple opponents—such as in wild [[Double Battle]]s, [[Horde Encounter]]s, or [[SOS Battle]]s—with the game claiming that it's impossible to aim.
** In {{g|Colosseum}} and {{g|XD: Gale of Darkness}}, it is possible to snag a [[Shadow Pokémon]] even if there are two on the opposing side of the field.
* From {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}} onward, it is not possible to throw a Poké Ball if the opposing Pokémon is in the {{cat|Moves with a semi-invulnerable turn|semi-invulnerable state}} of a move (such as {{m|Fly}} or {{m|Dig}}).
* Starting in [[Generation V]], in [[Double Battle|Double]] and [[Triple Battle]]s, it is not possible to issue a command to one Pokémon and then throw a Poké Ball as the second Pokémon's turn. However, it is still possible to throw a Poké Ball if one Pokémon is in the middle of a two-turn move.
* In {{2v2|Black|White|2}}, [[Ghetsis]] uses his cane to control a wild {{p|Kyurem}} and orders it to attack the {{player}}. The cane also emits signals that disrupt the use of empty Poké Balls, preventing Kyurem from being captured during the climax.
* In [[Generation VII]], the player is forbidden from throwing Poké Balls at wild Pokémon in a [[Island challenge|trial]] site until the trial has been cleared.
* In Generation VII, a signal that prevents the use of empty Poké Balls is broadcast throughout [[Aether Paradise]] to protect the Pokémon living there. This prevents the player from capturing the wild {{p|Nihilego}} that attacks them on their first visit to the facility.
* In {{pkmn|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}}, the player cannot use a Poké Ball on a {{p|Necrozma}} that has [[List of Pokémon with form differences#Necrozma|fused]] with a {{p|Solgaleo}} or {{p|Lunala}}.

==Types of Poké Balls==
[[File:PBR Battle Start.jpg|thumb|right|A Double Battle beginning in [[Pokémon Battle Revolution]]]]
In the Pokémon games so far, there have been 27 different varieties of Poké Balls, all differing from each other in some effect, whether it be an increased ability to catch a Pokémon from the wild or an effect which occurs only after the Pokémon has been caught. From Generation III onward, each variety of the Poké Ball has a unique animation when they open to draw in a Pokémon and when a Pokémon is sent out, and the type of Poké Ball used to catch the Pokémon is preserved on its status screen.

Prior to Generation VI, all hatched Pokémon are in a standard Poké Ball. In [[Generation VI]], a [[Pokémon breeding|bred]] Pokémon will be in the same Poké Ball as its mother, unless its mother was in a Cherish Ball or Master Ball in which case the Pokémon will be in a Poké Ball; Pokémon bred from a male or genderless Pokémon and {{p|Ditto}} will hatch in a standard Poké Ball. In [[Generation VII]], Pokémon bred from a male and a Ditto will inheret the father's ball as well and if two Pokémon of the same species in different balls are bred, the resulting offspring will be in either the mothers or father's ball.

===Introduced in Generation I===
The following Poké Balls were introduced in {{game|Red and Green|s}}, and have appeared and been available in all games since then, with the exception of the Safari Ball, which is only available in Generations I, III, and IV. They were developed by [[Silph Co.]], with the development of the [[Master Ball]] factoring into the plot of the Generation I games and their remakes heavily.

===Introduced in Generation II===
The following Poké Balls were introduced in {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}. These Poké Balls were not available in [[Generation III]] or in {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}, but made their return in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}. Seven of them are made from [[Apricorn]]s by [[Kurt]], while the last, which is not made from Apricorns, is seen by some to be a counterpart to the Safari Ball, since is only used in the [[Bug-Catching Contest]] in [[National Park]]. All eight of these Poké Balls have the same animation as a normal Poké Ball when sending out or recalling a Pokémon, rather than the variety of colors and special effects the Poké Ball variants released in other generations have.

When a Pokémon in one of these Balls is used in a link battle in Generation IV, it will appear as an ordinary Poké Ball, regardless of if the link is made with a Johto or Sinnoh-based game. Using a Pokémon in one of these Balls in one of the {{gdis|Battle Frontier|IV}} facilities will show it as it should appear during the battle, but as an ordinary Poké Ball if the battle is saved to the [[Vs. Recorder]] and played back. Trading a Pokémon in one of these Poké Ball variations into {{3v2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}} or registering it in [[Pokémon Battle Revolution]] will cause it to display as a normal Poké Ball, though if the Pokémon is traded back into a Johto-based game or transferred forward into Generation V, it will regain its variant Ball.

In Generation IV, none of these Poké Balls can be held due to not existing in Pokémon Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum.

In Pokémon data, information for these Poké Balls on the status screen and in battle is stored in a separate location from the variants introduced in other generations, so that the Pokémon can be traded back to Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum from HeartGold and SoulSilver and display an ordinary Poké Ball there (the data space for these balls being ignored in the earlier games).

In Generation VII, one of each ball (barring the Sport Ball) can be obtained, either on [[Mount Hokulani]] or from [[Samson Oak]], but they cannot be sold. In addition, in [[Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon]] only, one of each ball can be obtained from a [[Game Freak]] employee in [[Heahea City]] if the player shows him a Pokémon from a [[Virtual Console]] version of a Generation II game.

===Introduced in Generation III===
The following Poké Balls were introduced in {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}. While the main four Poké Balls and the Safari Ball returned to central usage, these specialty Balls were only available at certain [[Poké Mart]]s in the Hoenn region, and the Luxury Ball only available via completion of certain quests in the games. Generally, they can be seen to be counterparts to Generation II's Apricorn Balls, which were not available in the Generation III games, with the Nest Ball and Level Ball, Net Ball and Lure Ball, and Luxury Ball and Friend Ball being very similar in effect to each other.

The Premier Ball is functionally identical to the standard Poké Ball; it is simply a premium (hence the name) given with the purchase of ten Poké Balls. Only one is given with each purchase of ten or more, so buying 20 or more Poké Balls still only yields one gift Premier Ball. To obtain multiple Premier Balls, the Poké Balls must be purchased in separate transactions of 10 at a time.

These Ball variants continued to be available in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, though most must be traded in from a Hoenn-based game, with only the Timer Ball and Repeat Ball available to be bought, and even then, only in {{OBP|Two Island|town}}. The Dive Ball's effect was altered, with it now having greater chance to catch Pokémon encountered on water rather than under it, as Hoenn-based games are the only ones where wild Pokémon can be encountered while using {{m|Dive}}. In Generation IV, all but the Dive Ball are readily available to be bought, though the Dive Ball can still be obtained through use of [[Pal Park]] and other special events. The Johto-based HeartGold and SoulSilver make the Timer, Repeat, and Luxury Balls hard to find once more, though the returning Apricorn Balls help to take their place. All of these Poké Balls can be purchased in Generation V. Additionally, the Timer Ball's effectiveness now increases much more quickly as the battle goes on.

Unlike the Poké Balls introduced in Generation I, these Poké Balls were developed by the [[Devon Corporation]].

}}

===Introduced in Generation V===
Only one new Poké Ball was introduced in {{game|Black and White|s}}, though all Poké Balls of previous generations are programmed into the game, both as items and on the status screen. If the {{player}} cheats to get them into the game, the Apricorn Balls, Sport Ball, and Park Ball cannot be used to catch wild Pokémon, though the Safari Ball and Cherish Ball can. If a Pokémon is transferred to Generation V from an earlier generation with the [[Poké Transfer]], it will appear to have the same ball it was originally caught with.

In the [[Entralink|Entree Forest]], when a player "speaks" to a Pokémon, a Dream Ball appears in the player's Bag. As Poké Balls never fail in the Entree Forest and the Dream Ball can only be used there, the Dream Ball effectively never fails. However, any Poké Ball in the Bag can be used in the Entree Forest, not just the Dream Ball. Pokémon transferred from [[Pokémon Dream Radar]] are obtained in Dream Balls.

===Introduced in Generation VII===
Much like in [[Generation V]], only one new type of Poké Ball was introduced in [[Pokémon Sun and Moon]]: the Beast Ball, specifically designed to catch [[Ultra Beast]]s. Other Poké Balls (except the Master Ball) will only work as well as a standard Poké Ball when used against [[Ultra Beast]]s{{fact}}. Conversely, Beast Balls are barely effective against Pokémon other than Ultra Beasts, only being 10% as effective as a regular Poké Ball. Beast Balls were apparently developed by [[Faba]], building on the work of a predecessor.

In addition, the Apricorn Balls are once again available in Generation VII, although only one{{sup/7|SM}}/two{{sup/7|USUM}} of each can be obtained per game without trading.

==In other games==
===Pokémon GO===
Using Poké Balls in [[Pokémon GO]] is a more detailed process than in most other games. The primary factor is the player's aim. The player must press their finger on the Ball, move it, and release it in order to throw the Ball. The Ball and Pokémon exist in a 3D environment, so if the player moves their finger too far or too quickly, the ball can go past the Pokémon, or the Ball can fall short or go to either side if the player otherwise misjudges.

So long as a thrown Ball hits a Pokémon's model, the game will attempt to catch it, in much the same random process influenced by the Ball type as in the core games. A shrinking colored circle over the Pokémon indicates how easy the Pokémon will be to catch (given the type of Ball currently being used), with green being easiest and red being hardest; usually this corresponds to the Pokémon's {{DL|Statistic|CP}} (higher being harder). Hitting the Pokémon is complicated by the Pokémon's actions, however. Every few seconds, the Pokémon has a chance to jump or move around the area, potentially making a throw miss, or they may attack, temporarily making them invulnerable to capture.

Two factors can also improve the chances of catching a Pokémon based on the player's technique. One is aiming for the shrinking colored circle over the Pokémon. If the player's throw lands inside this circle, they will get a ‘nice’, ‘great’ or ‘excellent’ throw bonus depending on how small the circle was. When the circle shrinks to nothing, it resets to its widest and continues to shrink again. The other factor is throwing a curveball. If the player spins the Ball while holding it, it will temporarily retain the spin and curve left or right when thrown.

Using Berries can also help the player catch a Pokémon. The player can select a Berry (if they have any) with the button in the lower-left corner of the screen. Only one Berry can be used at a time, and if the Pokémon breaks out of a thrown Ball, the Berry's effect will disappear. A [[Razz Berry]] will improve the chance of the Pokémon being caught, while a Golden Razz Berry will increase the chance by a greater amount. A [[Nanab Berry]] will cause the Pokémon to move and attack less, making it easier to hit. A [[Pinap Berry]] will double the amount of of [[Candy]] the player receives if it is caught.

Additionally, [[medal]]s can improve the player's chances to catch Pokémon of a specific [[type]]. If a Pokémon has two types, the bonus of both applicable medals is averaged.

When the player catches a Pokémon, they earn [[Trainer level|XP]], [[Candy]], and [[Stardust (GO)|Stardust]].

Three types of Poké Balls are primarily available in Pokémon GO: regular Poké Balls, Great Balls, and Ultra Balls. They can be found by searching [[PokéStop]]s or {{OBP|Gym|GO}}s or as rewards for [[Trainer level|leveling up]]. Regular Poké Balls are available immediately from level 1, while Great Balls become available starting at level 12 and Ultra Balls at level 20. Regular Poké Balls can also be bought with [[PokéCoin]]s at the {{DL|PokéCoin|Shop}}; all three types of balls have also been available in limited-time Box deals.

Premier Balls are also available in Pokémon GO exclusively for use in catching [[Raid Battle|Raid Bosses]]; Raid Bosses can only be caught with Premier Balls and if the player runs out, the Raid Boss will flee. A number of Premier Balls are awarded to the player after a Raid Battle based on how well they battled. Even if the player does not use some of their Premier Balls, they will not retain any when they fight the next Raid Boss.

Master Balls are also coded into Pokémon GO, but they have not yet been made available.

==In the anime==
===In the main series===
[[File:Ashball.png|thumb|240px|{{Ash}} pulling out a Poké Ball, preparing to catch a Pokémon]]
In the {{pkmn|anime}}, the basic Poké Ball is the most commonly used of all varieties, with other varieties appearing either very few times or not at all. A vast majority of Pokémon are shown to be stored in regular Poké Balls, to the point that large collections of Poké Balls can be seen with no variation among them. Even [[Ash's Pikachu]], the most prominent Pokémon in the anime which spends all its time [[walking Pokémon|outside with Ash]], has a plain Poké Ball that differs from others only by the small yellow lightning bolt symbol on it, as seen in ''[[EP001|Pokémon - I Choose You!]]''.

Despite this, the various other types of Poké Ball have been seen in the anime, usually to illustrate a special property about that particular ball. The lack of the different types is unsurprising, however, due to the fact that, when the anime was first created, the games themselves did not even keep track of the Poké Ball that a Pokémon was caught in, and thus, it made no difference in sending a Pokémon out.

The first time that a Poké Ball aside from the normal variation was seen was in [[EP035]], where Ash was given 30 Safari Balls in order to compete in the Safari Game. With these 30 Safari Balls, Ash attempted to catch various rare Pokémon; however, he only managed to capture an entire herd of {{AP|Tauros}}. They appeared in Safari Balls in ''[[EP065|Showdown at the Po-Ké Corral]]''; however, whenever Ash uses one of his Tauros in a battle, it is sent out from a standard Poké Ball.

[[File:Poké Ball success.png|thumb|240px|left|A Poké Ball after catching a Pokémon in the {{series|Sun & Moon}}]]
The [[GS Ball]] was the second of the variant Poké Balls to [[EP083|appear in the anime]], this time with a special purpose. This mysterious ball was unable to be opened by [[Professor Ivy]], and served as the reason for Ash's journeys to the [[Orange Archipelago]] (to pick it up) and [[Johto]] (to deliver it to [[Kurt]]), so that what was contained within it could be discovered. {{p|Celebi}} was long rumored to be related to the ball, something which the [[Pokémon Adventures]] and game canons verify, while [[Masamitsu Hidaka|a director of the anime]] confirmed that, had it not been insisted that {{OBP|Celebi|M04}} appear in a central role in [[M04|the fourth movie]], the GS Ball arc would have concluded with Celebi being released from the ball and traveling with Ash and his friends.

Also related to Kurt, as in the games, the first non-standard Poké Ball variants, the [[Apricorn]] balls, made an appearance in the anime, and several were given to the members of the main cast. All three members of the main cast received a Fast Ball each in ''[[EP143|Going Apricorn!]]'', with {{an|Brock}} using his to catch a {{TP|Brock|Pineco}} shortly after receiving it. Many other Apricorn Poké Balls also appeared in a fantasy in this episode. In the [[EP144|next episode]], Brock received a Heavy Ball, while Ash and {{an|Misty}} received a Lure Ball each. While Brock's Heavy Ball and Ash and Misty's Fast Balls would remain unused (and have not been mentioned since), both Ash and Misty would use their Lure Balls to capture a {{AP|Totodile}} and {{TP|Misty|Corsola}}, respectively. Another Heavy Ball appeared in ''[[AG065|Gulpin It Down]]'', where it was used to capture a {{pkmn2|giant}} {{p|Gulpin}}, though this was not the one belonging to Brock. In ''[[EP183|Trouble's Brewing]]'', the {{DL|Kimono Girl|In the anime|Kimono Sisters}} (excluding [[Sakura]]) were shown keeping their [[Eeveelution]]s inside Apricorn Poké Balls, with Satsuki's {{p|Jolteon}}'s ball being a Moon Ball, Sumomo's {{p|Vaporeon}}'s ball being a Lure Ball, and Satsuki's {{p|Umbreon}}'s ball being a Fast Ball. While Koume's {{p|Flareon}}'s ball wasn't shown, her kimono pattern indicates it being a Love Ball.
[[File:Ash Poké Ball.png|thumb|240px|Ash calling out a Pokémon]]
The Master Ball itself has only appeared once as an actual Poké Ball, in ''[[AG075|Whiscash and Ash]]'', where it was used by [[Sullivan]] in a last resort attempt to catch a wild {{p|Whiscash}} called "[[Nero]]". Despite the fact that a Master Ball cannot be escaped from, the Whiscash ''swallowed'' the Master Ball, thus preventing capture, and disappeared back into the water. While not a Poké Ball itself, Misty owns a beach ball that is designed like the Master Ball, which can be seen in ''[[EP018|Beauty and the Beach]]'' and ''[[EP167|A Hot Water Battle]]''.

The Generation III specialty balls have mostly been seen in cameos. The Repeat Ball and Luxury Ball appeared in the opening of ''[[M06|Jirachi: Wish Maker]]''. These balls contained {{ga|Brendan}}'s {{p|Shiftry}} and {{p|Aggron}}, respectively.

The debut of most of the specialty balls, both from Generation III and IV, came in the ending [[Which One ~ Is It?]], which contained the first appearance of the Great Ball and Ultra Ball, as well as the first anime appearance of the Premier, Heal, Net, Dusk, Nest, Quick, Timer, and Dive Balls.

The first proper appearance of the Great, Ultra, Net, Nest, Dusk, Dive, Repeat, Premier, and Heal Balls was in ''[[XY079|A Frenzied Factory Fiasco!]]'', where these balls were seen being manufactured at the [[Poké Ball Factory]], in addition to normal Poké Balls, Luxury Balls, and Safari Balls, although the last one was not shown. Although [[James]] did mention a Quick Ball in the Japanese version, one was never shown in the episode (a fact that was picked up by the [[dub]], which removed the Quick Ball reference). {{TRT}} tried to steal many of these Poké Balls, but were foiled by Ash and his friends.

[[File:Dawn Poké Ball.png|thumb|left|240px|{{an|Dawn}}'s Poké Balls with Ball Capsules and Seals]]
It was revealed in ''[[SM004|First Catch in Alola, Ketchum-Style!]]'' that James had been collecting Poké Balls. When Jessie's attempt to catch a {{TP|Jessie|Mimikyu}} with a typical Poké Ball failed, she grabbed the Luxury Ball James had been polishing and used it instead, capturing Mimikyu, much to James's dismay. The rest of James's collection appeared in [[SM062]], where it was revealed to also contain a Great, Ultra, Premier, Dusk, Heal, and Quick Ball, marking the first proper anime appearance of a Quick Ball.

[[Gladion]] keeps all of his known Pokémon in special Poké Balls. His {{p|Lycanroc}} is kept in an Ultra Ball (as first seen in ''[[SM027|A Glaring Rivalry!]]''), his {{p|Silvally}} is kept in a Premier Ball (as first seen in ''[[SM037|Rising from the Ruins!]]''), and his Umbreon is kept in a Heal Ball (as first seen in ''[[SM053|Rescuing the Unwilling!]]'').

[[File:James Poké Ball collection.png|thumb|240px|James's Poké Ball collection]]
In ''[[SM055|The Professors' New Adventure!]]'', a chandelier stand based on a Love Ball was seen during [[Professor Kukui]] and [[Professor Burnet]]'s wedding.

Beast Balls debuted in [[SM061]], in which the [[Aether Foundation]] provided multiple of them for Ash and {{ashcl}} to use during their [[Ultra Guardians|Ultra Guardian]] missions. In the same episode, Ash used one of them to temporarily catch a {{p|Buzzwole}}. In [[SM067]], Ash used almost every Beast Ball provided to the group to try and catch a {{AP|Poipole}}, but eventually succeeded with the last one in the box.

Many other Poké Balls have been shown in the anime; however, most of these are cosmetic alterations alone, such as Poké Balls with gold plating, diamond studded Poké Balls, and Poké Balls with stickers or special designs on them, usually to denote an organization. [[Ball Capsule]]s and [[Seal]]s can also be used to customize a Poké Ball's appearance, and they add special effects when the Pokémon is sent out. In the anime, they are mostly used by {{pkmn|Coordinator}}s during [[Pokémon Contest]]s to create a showy entrance and ensure that the Pokémon will make a good impression right out of the Poké Ball.

Notably, a broken Poké Ball, snapped in half at its rusted hinges, was kept by both Ash and {{Gary}}, symbolizing their rivalry. After Ash defeated Gary during the [[Silver Conference]], Gary gave his half of the Ball to Ash as a sign of ending their rivalry.

In ''[[EP013|Mystery at the Lighthouse]]'', it was shown that if a Trainer catches a Pokémon while they already have six on hand, it is automatically sent to the regional {{pkmn|Professor}}. ''[[BW018|Sewaddle and Burgh in Pinwheel Forest]]'' shows a major difference in what happens after a Pokémon is captured. Instead of being automatically sent to the regional Professor, the Poké Ball is sealed and the button becomes red. The Pokémon is kept inactive until it is switched out by another actively in the Trainer's party.

===In Pokémon Origins===
Besides the regular Poké Ball, the other Generation I variations of it were also seen during the [[Pokémon Origins]] mini-series. In ''[[PO03|File 3: Giovanni]]'', it was shown that [[Giovanni]] kept his strongest Pokémon, {{p|Rhyhorn}} and {{p|Rhydon}}, within Ultra Balls. In ''[[PO04|File 4: Charizard]]'', {{OBP|Red|Origins}} was seen catching an {{p|Arbok}} with a Great Ball and a {{p|Chansey}} with a Safari Ball. He also used Ultra Balls to capture the [[Legendary Pokémon]] {{p|Articuno}}, {{p|Zapdos}}, {{p|Moltres}}, and {{p|Mewtwo}}.

The Master Ball only appeared in a demonstration in ''[[PO03|File 3: Giovanni]]'', as it was still under development at the time. After [[Team Rocket]] was driven out of the [[Silph Co.]] building by Red, the development of the Master Ball was put on hold for a while.

Additionally, in Pokémon Origins, the sound effects and bright light used when a Trainer is catching, sending out, or recalling a Pokémon differ in comparison to the sound effects and lights that are used in the main Pokémon anime, more resembling the effects seen in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}.

===In Pokémon Generations===
[[File:Ultra Ball PG.png|thumb|230px|An Ultra Ball in [[Pokémon Generations]]]]
The only Poké Ball variant seen in [[Pokémon Generations]] was an Ultra Ball, which appeared in ''[[PG09|The Scoop]]''. It was shown being used by {{player|a Trainer}} to catch a {{p|Deoxys}}.
{{-}}

==In the manga==
[[File:Poké Ball EToP.png|thumb|200px|A Poké Ball in [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]]]]
In the various [[Pokémon manga]], Poké Balls have been shown to appear differently, as an attempt to explain how a Trainer knows which Pokémon is in which ball, as most Pokémon manga series were, like the anime, developed at a time when the games could not keep track of the ball a Pokémon was contained in.

===In The Electric Tale of Pikachu manga===
In the manga [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]], the rules are more similar to the anime; however, Poké Balls are numbered on the outside, on the button, so that a Trainer knows which member of their team they are sending into battle. In The Electric Tale of Pikachu, Trainers must obtain a license before they are legally allowed to purchase Poké Balls.

It is also possible for a Pokémon to be placed inside a Poké Ball without it being owned by a Trainer. In ''[[ET11|Days of Gloom and Glory]]'', [[Meowzie]] steals a Poké Ball from a shop and puts her kitten in it so that it will not be hurt by a flood affecting the city.

===In the Magical Pokémon Journey manga===
In [[Magical Pokémon Journey]], the main characters generally do not capture Pokémon, rather, they befriend them. Although [[Almond]], one of the main characters, is known to be a [[Pokémon Trainer]], he is not actually depicted capturing or raising any Pokémon. In fact, in the bonus materials of {{Vol|Magical Pokémon Journey|2}}, in which the cast of the manga meet {{Ash}}, {{an|Misty}} and {{an|Brock}} in a series of crossovers, it is revealed that [[Hazel]] and [[Coconut]] do not even know what Poké Balls are. When Ash and Misty explain that they are used to capture Pokémon, they both proceed to attempt to use them to capture Almond, as he is each of their love interest.

===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
[[File:Yellow Seadra Poké Ball.png|thumb|200px|{{adv|Yellow}}'s {{p|Seadra}} inside his Poké Ball in Pokémon Adventures]]
In the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga, the tops of Poké Balls are semitransparent, allowing the Pokémon inside, which is miniaturized, to be seen through the ball, while the Pokémon can likewise see out of the ball it is contained in. In this manga, unlike in the anime, Pokémon already captured can be recaught in another Poké Ball, as is seen when {{adv|Red}} recatches Misty's Gyarados (though {{adv|Blue}} states that catching a Pokémon that belongs to another is not possible in ''[[PS050|Lapras Lazily]]''). Like in the anime and games, specialty balls do exist, and {{adv|Gold}} and {{adv|Silver}} received a Friend Ball and Heavy Ball, respectively. {{adv|Crystal}} and {{adv|Emerald}} have also been shown using special balls to catch Pokémon. Like in the games, but unlike the anime, Pokémon placed in their balls don't recover from status conditions nor regain lost health, no matter how much time passes. Additionally, the three original types of Poké Ball are used to identify the Trainer's rank; most Trainers keep their Pokémon in Poké Balls, [[Gym Leader]]s use Great Balls, and [[Elite Four]] members and [[Frontier Brain]]s use Ultra Balls.

===In the Pokémon Gotta Catch 'Em All manga===
In [[Pokémon Gotta Catch 'Em All]], Poké Balls are depicted as solid, with no visual identification as to which Poké Ball is which. In ''[[GDZ15|Special Chapter - Get Pikachu!]]'', it is revealed that when [[Shu]] met {{TP|Shu|Pikachu}}, Pikachu's Poké Ball had been abandoned in a forest because it was defective and it was causing Pikachu's electricity to be released throughout the surrounding area.

===In the Pokémon Pocket Monsters manga===
In [[Pokémon Pocket Monsters]], Poké Balls are often shown as transparent to identify when a Pokémon is inside. They usually have their typical appearance from far away, suggesting that they may not always be transparent, or are only see-through from up close. Pokémon appear to be able to see the world outside of their Poké Balls, as shown in ''[[PM003|Bring Down the Powerful Opponent Onix!!]]'', when {{TP|Red|Clefairy}} sees [[Red's Pikachu (Pocket Monsters)|Pikachu]] inside his Poké Ball, and they talk to each other. In ''[[PM001|Introducing the Pokémon Clefairy!!]]'', when {{PPM|Green}} is choosing Charmander as his [[starter Pokémon]], he is shown to be able to pick up and lift Charmander directly from the Poké Ball without throwing it first.

==In the TCG==
[[File:Rocket Sneak Attack artwork.png|thumb|Ultra Ball]]
Several variants of Poké Ball have been released in card form in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]], ranging from the standard variants found in the games and other media to variants specific to the TCG.

* The standard {{TCG ID|Jungle|Poké Ball|64}} card, which was the first released, debuted in the {{TCG|Jungle}} expansion and has since been featured in many others. It features a TCG-centric mechanic, requiring a {{TCG|coin}} flip to search the deck for a {{TCG|Pokémon}} to be put in the hand. Most of the Poké Ball variants, both adapted from the games and exclusive to the TCG, are similar to this, with several requiring coin flips to use their effect.
* The Ultra Ball can be seen in the artwork of {{TCG ID|Team Rocket|Rocket's Sneak Attack|16}}, from the {{TCG|Team Rocket}} expansion. The 'H' on this Ultra Ball is derived from its Japanese name, ''Hyper Ball''. The {{TCG ID|Dark Explorers|Ultra Ball|102}} itself would appear in {{TCG|Dark Explorers}}, with its effect requiring the player to discard 2 cards from the hand to search the deck for a Pokémon.
* The {{TCG ID|EX FireRed & LeafGreen|Great Ball|92}}, which first appeared in the {{TCG|EX FireRed & LeafGreen|TCG expansion}} coinciding with the {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s|remakes}} of the [[Generation I]] games, is somewhat of an upgrade to the Poké Ball, and does not require the coin flip that the Poké Ball does, instead restricting the search to Basic Pokémon. Later, in {{TCG|Emerging Powers}}, {{TCG ID|Emerging Powers|Great Ball|93}}'s effect was changed to have the player search the top 7 cards of the deck for any one Pokémon card and put it in the hand.
* The {{TCG ID|Gym Challenge|Master Ball|116}}, first appearing in the {{TCG|Gym Challenge}} expansion, and in the games the most powerful of the Poké Balls, provides a vastly different effect than the standard. Rather than searching the entire deck, only the top seven cards may be searched. One {{TCG|Pokémon}} found in these seven can be put into the hand, while the rest must be shuffled back into the deck. In {{TCG|Plasma Blast}}, the {{TCG ID|Plasma Blast|Master Ball|94}} was changed to an [[Ace Spec]] that allowed the player to search the entire deck for any one Pokémon.
* Debuting in the {{TCG|Skyridge}} expansion, the {{TCG ID|Skyridge|Lure Ball|128}} is different from the basic Poké Balls in that it draws from the {{TCG|discard pile}} rather than the deck. For each heads flipped, with a maximum of three, an {{TCG|Evolution card}} can be returned from the discard pile and put into the hand. It has not appeared since.
* Also debuting in Skyridge, the {{TCG ID|Skyridge|Friend Ball|126}}, another [[Apricorn]] Ball, has a unique effect entirely, allowing the user to search their deck for a Pokémon of the same {{TCG|type}} as one of the opponent's Pokémon, making it effective in decks that typically match up well against their own type. It also has not appeared since.
* The {{TCG ID|Skyridge|Fast Ball|124}} allows the player to go through their deck, turning over cards one at a time until they find the first evolution card, and then taking that into their hand, shuffling afterward. Like the other two Apricorn Balls, it debuted in Skyridge and has not appeared since.
* The {{TCG ID|Great Encounters|Premier Ball|101}}, debuting in the {{TCG|Great Encounters}} expansion, is special, much as in the games, and allows the player to search either the deck ''or'' the discard pile for a {{TCG|Pokémon LV.X}} to put into their hand.
* The {{TCG ID|Stormfront|Luxury Ball|86}}, first found in the {{TCG|Stormfront}} expansion, is among the rarest of the Poké Ball varieties in the games, though its catch rate is the same as that of a normal Poké Ball. Likewise it is so with the TCG, allowing a non-{{TCG|Pokémon LV.X|LV.X}} Pokémon to be searched from the deck, but only if another Luxury Ball card is not in the discard pile.
* The {{TCG ID|Mysterious Treasures|Quick Ball|114}} released in the {{TCG|Mysterious Treasures}} expansion has a similar effect to the Fast Ball released in Skyridge, allowing the player to uncover cards from their deck until they find a Pokémon. An expansion of the Fast Ball's use, any Pokémon can be found, though this may prove an issue if the player is looking for an Evolution card specifically and finds a Basic Pokémon first, and vice versa.
* The {{TCG ID|Mysterious Treasures|Dusk Ball|110}}, also first found in Mysterious Treasures, features an effect somewhat opposite from the Master Ball's: Instead of the top seven cards being searched, only the bottom seven cards may be, and a Pokémon found there may be put into the player's hand.
* The {{TCG ID|Next Destinies|Heavy Ball|88}}, first found in {{TCG|Next Destinies}}, allows the player to search through their deck for a Pokémon who has a retreat cost of 3 or more and put it in their hand, whereas the {{TCG ID|Next Destinies|Level Ball|89}}, also found in {{TCG|Next Destinies}}, allows them to do the same with a Pokémon that has 90 HP or less.

==In the Super Smash Bros. series==
[[File:Poké Ball SSBB.png|thumb|right|Render of a Poké Ball from [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]]]
In the {{sbw|Super Smash Bros. series}}, Poké Balls mainly appear as items which a character can pick up and throw to release a random Pokémon. Most Pokémon will perform a direct attack against the characters on the stage, but some may have other effects. Like many other items, the Poké Balls also do damage simply by hitting other characters. The fourth game in the series also introduced a Master Ball variant on the Poké Ball, which essentially functions the same as a Poké Ball except that it usually contains a {{pkmn2|Legendary}} or [[Mythical Pokémon]].

The Pokémon that can appear from Poké Balls differ between the games. The {{DL|Super Smash Bros.|Poké Ball Pokémon}} in [[Super Smash Bros.]] all come from Generation I, the {{DL|Super Smash Bros. Melee|Poké Ball Pokémon}} in [[Super Smash Bros. Melee]] come from up to Generation II, the {{DL|Super Smash Bros. Brawl|Poké Ball Pokémon}} in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]] come from up to Generation IV, and the {{DL|Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U|Poké Ball Pokémon}} in [[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U]] come from up to Generation VI. The only Pokémon that have appeared in all four games are {{p|Goldeen}}, {{p|Snorlax}}, and {{p|Mew}}.

The Poké Ball also features in a couple of other ways in the Super Smash Bros. series. In Brawl, in [[The Subspace Emissary]], {{SSB|Pokémon Trainer}} is shown to push the button on the Poké Ball to send out his Pokémon, a mechanic that has not been shown in the anime. A Poké Ball logo is also used to represent the Pokémon games in the Super Smash Bros. series. In the third and fourth games, this logo is updated to match Generation IV's redesigned icon.

===[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]] Trophy information===
''These balls are used to catch and contain wild Pokémon. Most Pokémon must be weakened in some way before they can be caught, but once they're inside a Poké Ball, they enjoy their new home, since Poké Balls contain an environment specially designed for Pokémon comfort. [[Master Ball]]s are the strongest type.''

===[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]] Trophy information===
''"An item used for capturing Pokémon and calling them out into battle. Pokémon live in these items which despite appearances, actually contain a wide, comfortable Pokémon-friendly world inside them. In Super Smash Bros., Pokémon give temporary support to who calls them out. You never know which you will get, but some are devastatingly powerful."''

===[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U]] Trophy information===
====Poké Ball====
[[File:Poké Ball SSB4.png|thumb|240px|The Poké Ball in Super Smash Bros. for 3DS]]
'''NA''': ''An item used to call out different Pokémon. Which Pokémon emerges is a mystery, but it will aid whoever threw the Poké Ball. Some of the Pokémon contained inside are extremely powerful and will really intensify the battle. It's definitely worth beating your opponents to these!''

'''PAL''': ''A ball holding one of any number of Pokémon just waiting to burst out and help you in battle. Which kind will it be? Well, that's a surprise, but whichever one it is, it'll definitely up the intensity of the battle! If you see one, make sure you're the one to grab it!''
{{-}}

====Master Ball====
[[File:Master Ball SSB4.png|thumb|240px|The Master Ball in Super Smash Bros. for 3DS]]
'''NA''': ''These valuable, powerful balls can capture any wild Pokémon. In Smash Bros., hard- to-find Pokémon often pop out of them. You can easily identify a Master Ball by the distinct purple appearance and large M on the top. A Pokémon within a Master Ball may turn the tide of battle.''

'''PAL''': ''A rare type of Poké Ball that never fails to catch a Pokémon. Throw one in this game, and the Mythical or Legendary Pokémon inside will come to your aid. Master Balls are easy to identify due to their purple colour and the large M on them. Use one to quickly turn the tide of any battle!''
{{-}}

==Other variants==
The following Poké Ball variants are found outside of the standard games. They are often very unusual compared to the 27 types found in the games, and it is sometimes questionable whether or not they even qualify as Poké Balls. Many have separate articles, where their unique properties are described in greater detail.

===In the games===
* [[Pester Ball]]s: These objects, which appear similar to Poké Balls at a glance, are not used to catch Pokémon, and instead will release a Pokémon repellent on contact. They are only found in {{g|Snap}}.
* The [[GS Ball]] is an event item that appears only in {{game|Crystal}}, where it was part of a giveaway on the [[Pokémon Mobile System GB]] for Japanese games, similar to [[event item]]s given out via [[Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection]] and [[Nintendo Network]] from [[Generation IV]] onward. It was not used to catch any Pokémon, and was placed in the [[Key Items]] pocket. If given to [[Kurt]] for inspection, it will activate an event where the player can catch a {{p|Celebi}} in [[Ilex Forest]].
* A [[Snag Ball]] is a Poké Ball variant that has been "unlocked" by the Snag Machine, allowing it to [[snagging|snag]] an already-[[caught Pokémon]] during a {{pkmn|battle}}. While it is ''able'' to be used on any Pokémon, [[Rui]] will only allow [[Wes]] to use it on [[Shadow Pokémon]], while [[Michael]]'s Aura Reader will render the Snag Machine inoperable when a Pokémon other than a Shadow Pokémon is targeted.
* When transferring Pokémon via [[Poké Transfer]], a blue-colored Poké Ball is used to catch the Pokémon in the mingame. They are shot using a bow.
* Typing Balls are used in [[Learn with Pokémon: Typing Adventure]]. They are thrown after one successfully types a Pokémon's name. It has the overall design like that of a normal Poké Ball, only having an additional vertical line at the bottom, resembling the letter "T".
* In the [[Timegate Traveler Series]] featured in [[Pokéstar Studios]], the future is ruled by {{type|Bug}} Pokémon that capture wild humans in Human Balls (Japanese: '''ヒューマンボール''' ''Human Ball'') instead of the other way around.

===In the anime===
* A green Poké Ball appeared in ''[[EP001|Pokémon - I Choose You!]]''. Interestingly, the cover of the book {{OBP|Grass Pokédex|book}} greatly resembles this Poké Ball, and is labeled as a Safari Ball.
** In addition to this, the artwork of {{ga|Brendan}}, in {{2v2|Ruby|Sapphire}}, features Brendan holding a green Poké Ball.
* Several objects were used to contain and control Pokémon before Poké Balls themselves were developed. Large monumental objects have been shown several times in episodes to be containers for large ancient Pokémon, as seen most notably in ''[[EP072|The Ancient Puzzle of Pokémopolis]]''. Smaller objects have also been used, such as the staff belonging to [[Sir Aaron]], which contained his partner, {{mov|Lucario|Lucario|8}}, until {{Ash}} released it in the current era. Special armor developed by [[Marcus]] was used to control Pokémon in ancient [[Michina Town]], though it did not directly ''contain'' the Pokémon; unlike other methods of using Pokémon, these Pokémon were enslaved, instead of befriended, and they turned against him the moment the armor was broken.
* {{OBP|Mewtwo|original series}} had a collection of strange Poké Balls in ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'', which incorporated an eye into their design, and were used primarily to capture Pokémon to be cloned. These balls had no trouble catching Pokémon which were already captured—even if they were already inside of Poké Balls. They have been called by several names by fans, such as "Mewtwo Balls" and "Clone Balls".
* [[Molly Hale]], whose imagination caused the power of the {{mov|Unown|Unown|3}} to change the world around them, was able to use strange, crystalline Poké Balls when she challenged {{an|Brock}} and {{an|Misty}} in ''[[M03|Spell of the Unown: Entei]]''. The Pokémon sent from these appeared normally, but dissolved into crystal, rather than being recalled. These crystal Poké Balls only appeared when used by her imagined older selves, and do not appear to actually exist.
* A special variant of Poké Ball, the Lake Ball, was used during the [[Seaking Catching Day|Seaking Catching Competition]] in ''[[EP168|Hook, Line, and Stinker]]''; this is viewed by many to be similar to the Sport Ball used in the [[Bug-Catching Contest]]. They appear as blue and white Poké Balls, with a fish pattern around the edge, and a yellow arrow on the top and bottom of the ball. They don't shake after capture, implying an automatic catch.
* Older Poké Balls have also appeared in the anime, specifically the one carried by [[Sam]]my in ''[[M04|Celebi: The Voice of the Forest]]'', which was colored differently, and it had a knob that needed to be twisted before the Pokémon inside could be sent out. While it is unknown how these types were manufactured, it is likely that they were made by hand using Apricorns, prior to the standardization and mass production of modern-day Poké Balls.
* The [[Iron-Masked Marauder]], an agent of [[Team Rocket]], used special [[Dark Ball]]s that corrupted Pokémon caught inside them and made them into mindless servants of the Trainer, as well as raising their power significantly. Multiple Pokémon were caught in these Poké Balls, including the {{pkmn2|Mythical}} {{mov|Celebi|Celebi|4}} and a powerful {{p|Tyranitar}}. They seem capable of catching any Pokémon without fail.
* As in the games, the [[GS Ball]] appeared in the anime, and was the primary motivation for Ash's trip to the [[Orange Archipelago]], where he would compete in his second Pokémon League. It also served as the catalyst for his journey to [[Johto]], as he needed to deliver the ball to [[Kurt]]. Former director [[Masamitsu Hidaka]] revealed that a shelved storyline, that would have concluded the GS Ball's arc, involved a {{p|Celebi}} that would have traveled with Ash and his friends through at least part of Johto. The storyline was viewed as redundant after the decision was made to introduce Celebi in the fourth movie instead.
* ''[[AG104|Claydol, Big and Tall]]'' featured the "Stone Ball", a huge Poké Ball made of stone used to keep an evil, giant {{p|Claydol}} that levied destruction everywhere. This Poké Ball is about the size of a 2-story house.
* In ''[[AG178|Battling the Enemy Within!]]'', an ancient relic resembling a Poké Ball was first mentioned by {{FB|Pyramid King|Brandon}}, who told Ash and his friends a story about the [[King of Pokélantis]], who had once tried to control {{p|Ho-Oh}} for his own evil purposes. When Ash later found the relic, it was revealed that the King of Pokélantis's spirit was actually sealed within it, and it possessed Ash until it was banished from his body and resealed back inside the relic.
* In ''[[BW037|A Fishing Connoisseur in a Fishy Competition!]]'', a specially marked Poké Ball, called the "Fishing Poké Ball", was used in the fake fishing contest set up by {{TRT}}. This Poké Ball highly resembled the regular red and white Poké Ball, except that it had a dark fish mark on its red part.

===In the manga===
====In The Electric Tale of Pikachu manga====
* In ''[[ET04|Haunting My Dreams]]'', a giant Poké Ball named the Enormo Poké Ball-X1 (Japanese: '''ビッグモンスターボールX1''' ''Big Monster Ball-X1'') or EPB-X1 for short, was created to capture the gigantic {{p|Haunter}}, [[Black Fog]]. It was destroyed when the Black Fog used {{m|Explosion}} to free itself after being captured.

====In the Pokémon Adventures manga====
In addition to various Poké Balls introduced in the games, Pokémon Adventures also has several Trainers modifying their Poké Balls to suit their fighting styles.

* [[Bruno]] has modified his Poké Balls so that they are fitted onto the ends of his {{wp|Nunchaku|nunchucks}}. By swinging them quickly and throwing the nunchuck forward, Bruno can have his Pokémon quickly attack his opponent, giving him the advantage.
* [[Koga]] and his daughter [[Janine]] modified their Poké Balls into {{wp|shuriken}} to fit their ninja theme. In addition to being used as weapons, they can also be used to have their Pokémon pop up from different locations to surprise the opponent or to hold items to help an ally.
* [[Bugsy]] had [[Kurt]] modify his butterfly net into something he calls a Capture Net. His net has a Poké Ball nested into the middle of it. The bag of the net is made of the same material of the inside of a Poké Ball. Once a Pokémon is covered in the bag, they will automatically be sucked into the Poké Ball.
* [[Falkner]] has modified his Poké Balls into boomerangs using the feathers of his {{p|Skarmory}}. Because of Skarmory's feathers being transparent, they have the tendency to turn invisible, confusing enemies when Falkner throws them in random directions only for them to turn around and go straight for them.
* [[Erika]] modified her Poké Balls to be at the end of her arrows.

===In the TCG===
* The {{TCG ID|Expedition|Dual Ball|139}} is merely two Poké Balls together, and has a similar effect to using two plain Poké Ball cards, requiring two coin flips to search for up to two Pokémon, depending on how many heads appear.
* The {{TCG ID|EX Team Magma vs Team Aqua|Team Magma Ball|80}} is [[Team Magma]]'s Poké Ball variant, found only in the {{TCG|EX Team Magma vs Team Aqua}} expansion. It works similarly to a Poké Ball, however, it only can be used to find Team Magma's Pokémon, and will still allow a player to find a Pokémon, though only a {{TCG|Basic Pokémon|Basic one}}, if the coin flip results in tails.
* The {{TCG ID|EX Team Magma vs Team Aqua|Team Aqua Ball|75}} is [[Team Aqua]]'s Poké Ball variant, also found only in the {{TCG|EX Team Magma vs Team Aqua}} expansion. It works ''exactly'' the same as the Team Magma Ball, with the exception that it can only search out Team Aqua's Pokémon instead.
* The {{TCG ID|EX Team Rocket Returns|Rocket's Poké Ball|89}} is the [[Team Rocket]] variation on the Poké Ball, found in the {{TCG|EX Team Rocket Returns}} expansion. No coin flip is required, and it simply allows the player to search for a {{TCG|Dark Pokémon}}.
* The {{TCG ID|Plasma Freeze|Team Plasma Ball|105}} is the [[Team Plasma]] variant of the Poké Ball, found in the {{TCG|Plasma Freeze}} expansion. It allows the user to search for a Team Plasma Pokémon without a coin flip required.

==Item balls==
{{main|Item#Obtaining items|Item → Obtaining items}}
[[File:Itemball.png|thumb|200px|left|{{ga|Red}} finds an item ball on {{rt|2|Kanto}}]]
[[File:Rice Ball Poké Ball.png|right|200px|thumb|Ash catches a [[rice ball]] thrown by a wild {{p|Mankey}}]]
In both the anime and games, it has been shown that [[item]]s can be contained in Poké Balls, apparently able to be captured in much the same way as a Pokémon. The anime has used this as a gag on several occasions, most notably in ''[[EP025|Primeape Goes Bananas]]'', where {{Ash}} accidentally catches a rice ball when he throws a Poké Ball in an attempt to catch a wild Mankey.

Items contained in Poké Balls have been present from the very first games, with many items that are found on the field being found in Poké Balls in conspicuous locations. These items are sometimes important, and usually will be among the required items for pickup along the way. Sometimes, even Poké Ball variants can be found in item balls, though it may be that the item ball itself is supposed to represent the ball that is found. Many other items, however, are hidden, and are not in item balls, instead being directly on the field, and can be found more easily using an Itemfinder or [[Dowsing Machine]].

{{p|Voltorb}}, {{p|Electrode}}, {{p|Foongus}}, and {{p|Amoonguss}} often appear as item balls in the overworld, but attack when interacted with except the Foongus in [[Accumula Town]].

====Generation V====
The Apricorn Poké Balls, the Safari Ball, and the Sport Ball, while programmed into the game, cannot be used to catch Pokémon and can be seen only in the Pokémon summary screen or when sending out a Pokémon. Sprites seen below are at full size as they are seen as they are when player's Pokémon is sent out after a switch.

==Trivia==
* {{an|Professor Oak}} has written {{wp|senryū}} about the Poké Ball in two of his lectures:
** For ''[[DP003|When Pokémon Worlds Collide!]]'', the [[Professor Oak's Big Pokémon Encyclopedia]] featured this senryū: 「ゲットだぜ　なげかたいろいろ　モンスターボール」 ''"I caught a Pokémon! {{tt|Monster Balls|Poké Balls}} can be thrown in all sorts of ways."''
** For ''[[BW002|Enter Iris and Axew!]]'', the [[Professor Oak's Pokémon Live Caster]] featured this senryū: 「あっポケモン　モンスターボール　わすれずに」 ''"Oh, a Pokémon; don't forget to bring your {{tt|Monster Balls|Poké Balls}}."''
* Only the {{p|Scyther}} family and {{p|Pinsir}} can legitimately be obtained in all of the 27 in-game Poké Ball variants.
* In {{g|Pinball}}, the Poké Balls serve as the balls in the machine; they can be used to capture Pokémon and are upgraded depending on the multiplier bonus at the time.
* In Generation II, the Park Ball's name is written as one word on the in-battle menu during the [[Bug-Catching Contest]], where it takes the place of the Pack command. However, when the ball is used, its name is formatted properly.
* In some early artwork for {{game|Red and Green|s}}, Poké Balls are shown on the ground in two pieces while the Pokémon are in battle, rather than in the more familiar hinged form they take now. This may be a carryover from when Pokémon was known as Capsule Monsters, as the Poké Ball sprites in Generation I also do not show the button on the ball. In [[Generation II]], Poké Balls split in half when capturing a Pokémon as part of their animation, while the anime had been using the hinge style since the very first episode.
* Poké Balls are inspired by the capsules for {{wp|gashapon}} machines, which contain small, handheld toys.
* In HeartGold and SoulSilver and the {{Trading Card Game}}, Lure Balls are shown to have a green outer coloring; however, in official artwork and the anime, they are shown to have a blue outer coloring. In later games, the Lure Ball's color is changed to the official blue color.
** Similarly, the Fast Ball is shown to be red in official art; however, it is orange in its Bag and status screen sprites, and only appears red in battle in Generation V.
* In Generation II, after catching a Pokémon, the Poké Ball's color palette changes to that of the Pokémon that was just caught. It then changes back to normal thereafter.
* Both the Safari Ball and Generation II Park Ball appeared in the anime prior to sprites being introduced for items in the games, in [[EP035]] and ''[[EP161|The Bug Stops Here]]'', respectively. In these appearances, their designs were vastly different from their later-introduced in-game sprites.
* When the player uses a Master Ball in Generation II, stars appear and a sound effect is played before the ball closes and captures the Pokémon.
** A similar effect would later be used in subsequent generations for all Poké Ball captures (regardless of the variety of Poké Ball used), beginning with {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}.
* Starting in [[Generation III]], all Poké Ball types have a special effect that appears whenever the ball is opened. These special effects also can be seen in [[Pokémon Colosseum]] and [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]]. In [[Generation IV]], customizable special effects are available through [[Seal]]s.
* Although the Hyper Ball was renamed the Ultra Ball in the English versions of the games, its design still incorporates a stylized H on the top half.
* In [[Pokémon Shuffle]], the Great Ball is twice as effective as the Poké Ball.
* In Pokémon Sun and Moon only, a Heavy Ball will always fail to catch a Pokémon whose weight is less than {{tt|220.46 lbs|100.0 kg}} and whose catch rate is less than or equal to 20. This is because the game will set the catch rate to 0 when the catch rate becomes negative due to the -20 modifier that is applied. The only catchable Pokémon that this affects are {{p|Beldum}} and the [[guardian deities]].
* The [[Pokémon Global Link|Global Link]] artwork for the Sport Ball has the letter S on the top dome instead of an image of a Poké Ball.

Talk:Helping Hand (move)

2017-10-25T20:05:25Z

BobBot321: /* Base Power or Damage Output? */ new section

==Helping Hand user fainting==
Does the effect of Helping Hand still work if the Pokémon that used it is KO'd before it's team mate attacks? --[[User:Phred|Phred]] 21:47, 11 March 2008 (UTC)
:I always wondered that myself. '''[[User:TTEchidna|''TTE'']][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]]''' 22:16, 11 March 2008 (UTC)
::Does anyone know the answer to this? I came to this talk page to ask the exact same question. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 14:49, 9 December 2013 (UTC)
:::Just tested in Emerald and the effect appears to stick even if HH's user faints before their ally can attack. Took me long enough to figure that out, since the CPU wasn't cooperating well with what I wanted, so if I double-check RuSa or FRLG, or test later generations, it'll be later. [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 17:23, 9 December 2013 (UTC)

==Failure==
In the Pokemon Emerald game I have, Helping Hand fails if the teammate Pokemon has used it first. Should this be documented? --[[User:Alex S.|Alex S.]] 00:09, 3 December 2008 (UTC)

== Damage raised by Helping Hand? ==

While it is known to us what Helping Hand is used for, does anyone know exactly how much it raises the affected partner Pokémon's attack by? -- [[User:HechEff|HechEff]] 10:05, 19 January 2009 (UTC)
:Smogon says Base Power increases by 50%. — [[User talk:The dark lord trombonator|THE TROM]] — 10:32, 19 January 2009 (UTC)
::How long or how many turns does the effect of Helping Hand last? --[[User talk:Venomoth|☯ ]][[User:Venomoth|*Ɣℯ№ӎօṫհ*]][[User talk:Venomoth| ☯]] 19:59, 3 November 2010 (UTC)

== Additional effect? ==

i just used Helping Hand in a double battle while the target pokemon was asleep and it woke up before receiving the damage boost. i did no t use a priority move before you ask. is this intended or what?--[[User talk:Relicant|The]] [[Special:Contributions/Relicant|Truth]] aka Relicant 18:22, 19 March 2014 (UTC)
:Sounds like a coincidence, unless you think you can replicate it. [[User:Schiffy|Schiffy (瀬藤健二)]] ([[User talk:Schiffy|Talk]] [[Special:Contributions/Schiffy|Contribs]]) 20:27, 3/19/2014 (UTC)

== Targeting ==

In Gen III, it [http://upcarchive.playker.info/0/upokecenter/dex/index.html%3Flang=en&move=270.html apparently] targets the user ("self"). I guess it makes no difference whatsoever (it still boost the ally's moves), so I chose to just let it slide for convenience/clarity. If anyone wants to have it changed, they should not only say it here, but also remove it for Substitute in Gen III (the main reason why I let it slide), and [[list of modified moves]]. [[User:Nescientist|Nescientist]] ([[User talk:Nescientist|talk]]) 12:37, 17 April 2017 (UTC)
:Since Pressure affects allies in Gen III and IV, this might actually have some relevance. I would need to confirm that though. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 14:38, 17 April 2017 (UTC)

== Base Power or Damage Output? ==

Anyone know if the move increases the actual base power or just the final damage output. For example, if one helping hands an ariel ace used by a technician pokemon, does it still receive the boost from technician or does the 50% boost increase the Base power to 90, thus negating the boost?

Solaceon Ruins

}}
The '''Solaceon Ruins''' (Japanese: '''ズイの{{tt|遺跡|いせき}}''' ''Zui Ruins'') is the set of ruins where the player can find the {{p|Unown}} in [[Sinnoh]]. It is found east of [[Solaceon Town]]. If the player captures an Unown, then shows it to a boy in the town, the [[Seal]] corresponding to its letter will become available.

==Geography==
[[File:Solaceon Ruins exterior DP.png|thumb|Solaceon Ruins exterior in {{v2|Diamond and Pearl|s}}]]
This map is the same in Pokémon Diamond, Pearl and Platinum versions.

The first room has a plaque/inscription in the Unown alphabet that indicates which exits to take to get to the last room. It reads:

{| class="roundy" style="background: #{{locationcolor/med|ruins}}; border: 3px solid #{{locationcolor/dark|ruins}}"
|-
! style="background: #{{locationcolor/light|ruins}}; {{roundytl|5px}}" | Unown

| style="background: #fff; {{roundybr|5px}}" | Lower left
|}

The second room has only Unown of the "F" variety, the third has "R" and so on, spelling out the word "friend". The dead-end rooms (reached by not following the Unown alphabet instructions) house the other twenty varieties of Unown. The last room holds four items and an inscription written in Unown script. In {{game|Platinum}} one of the items is {{HM|05|Defog}}. The writing reads as follows:
{| class="roundy" style="background: #{{locationcolor/med|ruins}}; border: 3px solid #{{locationcolor/dark|ruins}}"
|-

| style="background: #fff; {{roundybr|5px}}" | anew and alive
|}

The Japanese version of this writing is the same featured in ''[[DP040|Top-Down Training!]]'' and in ''[[DP060|Journey to the Unown!]]''.

The room above the rest of the ruins, only accessible after the Ruin Maniac has finished digging the [[Maniac Tunnel]] through from {{rt|214|Sinnoh}} (which occurs after obtaining one of each alphabetic Unown), has both "!" and "?" varieties. The inscription in there reads:
{| class="roundy" style="background: #{{locationcolor/med|ruins}}; border: 3px solid #{{locationcolor/dark|ruins}}"
|-
! style="background: #{{locationcolor/light|ruins}}; {{roundytl|5px}}" | Unown

==In the anime==
[[File:Solaceon Ruins anime.png|thumb|220px|The Solaceon Ruins in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]
In the {{pkmn|anime}}, the Solaceon Ruins appeared in ''[[DP060|Journey to the Unown!]]'', in which they were visited by {{Ash}}, {{an|Dawn}}, {{an|Brock}}, and {{si|Kenny}}. In this [[canon]], the ruins are a temple dedicated to {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Palkia}} rather than a [[cave]], and statues of the [[Legendary Pokémon]] can be found in front of the temple. There is also a stone tablet that reads ''"When every life meets another life, something will be born"'' — a direct translation of the Japanese version of this writing instead of the English version that is used in the {{pkmn|games}}.

After arriving in the ruins, Ash and Kenny decided to have a {{pkmn|battle}}, but it had to be interrupted when the stairs where Dawn was sitting on began to lift, causing {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}} and {{TP|Dawn|Aipom}} to tumble down the steps and Dawn to jump off to save {{cat|Dawn's Pokémon|her Pokémon}}. Seeing that, Ash, Brock, and Kenny rushed to rescue Dawn and everyone ended up inside the ruins, where they encountered several {{p|Unown}}. The {{pkmn|category|Symbol Pokémon}} living there guarded [[Spear Key|a gold-colored cube]] that was stolen by {{tc|Commander}} [[Saturn]] of [[Team Galactic]].

Following the theft of the cube, Saturn ordered his {{p|Bronzor}} to use {{m|Confuse Ray}} on all the Unown, leaving them {{status|Confusion|confused}} and making them attack {{TRT}}, as well as Ash and {{ashfr}}. The group's Pokémon began attacking the Unown as well in order to defend themselves and their {{pkmn|Trainer}}s. Their [[Move|attacks]] managed to snap the Unown out of their confusion and the Unown eventually calmed down, allowing Ash and the others to safely leave the ruins.

This is also the place where Dawn's {{p|Aipom}} [[Evolution|evolved]] into {{TP|Dawn|Ambipom}}.

==In the manga==
===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
The ruins are featured in ''[[PS354|Knowledge of the Unown I]]'' and ''[[PS355|Knowledge of the Unown II]]'' and are the main setting of the latter one. {{adv|Diamond}}, {{adv|Pearl}}, and {{adv|Platinum}} encountered two {{p|Unown}}, later named by Platinum as Grumpy and Flaky, who led them into the ruins. The main trio helped the Unown free their friends who had been trapped.

'''Swords Dance''' (Japanese: '''つるぎのまい''' ''Swords Dance'') is a non-damaging {{type|Normal}} [[move]] introduced in [[Generation I]]. It was [[TM03]] in Generation I and is [[TM75]] in [[Generation IV]] onwards.

==Effect==
===Generations I to V===
Swords Dance increases the user's {{stat|Attack}} stat by two stages.

Swords Dance can also be used as part of a [[Contest combination|Pokémon Contest combination]], with certain moves ({{m|Crabhammer}}, {{m|Crush Claw}}, {{m|Cut}}, {{m|False Swipe}}, {{m|Fury Cutter}} and {{m|Slash}}) having their base appeal points doubled if they are used in the next turn.

Talk:Oricorio (Pokémon)

2017-01-21T13:45:35Z

BobBot321: /* Trivia */

About the different forms: Wouldn't Rotom's way of showing forms work? (I got ninja'd by admin blocking the article from being edited. :p) [[User:Eridanus|Eridanus]] ([[User talk:Eridanus|talk]]) 14:33, 1 August 2016 (UTC)
:It's temporary, it's only defaulted like that just to get the article out.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 14:37, 1 August 2016 (UTC)
::Oh, I see. [[User:Eridanus|Eridanus]] ([[User talk:Eridanus|talk]]) 14:42, 1 August 2016 (UTC)

== The Dance's the form's are based on ==

Okay, so, the style of dance's of the forms are based on:

'''Pom-Pom Style''' = Cheer leader,
'''Pa'u Style''' = Hula,
'''Sensu Style''' = The Dance Geisha practice and perform. (I dunno what it's currently called, but i know it's related to that, given how it's feathers look like a Geisha hair piece.),

But I can't figure out what Baile Style is.
Is it Flamenco? Tango? or Salsa? They all have similar red and black dresses, which make it hard to figure out. --[[User:Atlantahammy|Atlantahammy]] ([[User talk:Atlantahammy|talk]]) 20:03, 1 August 2016 (UTC)
:I would guess flamenco. The artwork strongly resembles [https://www.google.com/search?q=flamenco+pose&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwifo9yEj6HOAhWC4yYKHSewBKoQsAQIHQ&biw=1366&bih=643 a flamenco pose]. Plus, it takes two to tango and all the other dances are largely solo (cheerleader is arguable, but we'll ignore it for my case), and salsa is the same. (Although, salsa would be funny, because salsa as a food is often spicy and it's a fire-type... no? okay) [[User:Nutter Butter|Nutter Butter]] ([[User talk:Nutter Butter|talk]]) 21:06, 1 August 2016 (UTC)
::It would seem you are right! I just googled it and apparently Flamenco even has a type of dance called "''[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flamenco#Baile_.28dance.29 Baile]''" Man now I feel a lil' dumb xD --[[User:Atlantahammy|Atlantahammy]] ([[User talk:Atlantahammy|talk]]) 21:14, 1 August 2016 (UTC)

== Possible Real-World Inspiration ==

Oricorio appears to be based on the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bird-of-paradise birds-of-paradise] of Indonesia, Papua New Guinea, and eastern Australia. These birds are all close relatives, but because of their island habitat, they've evolved to have wildly diverse appearances and mating rituals (which often include dancing). This [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W7QZnwKqopo segment] from BBC's Planet Earth describes them pretty well.
[[User:Co-nl-on|Co-nl-on]] ([[User talk:Co-nl-on|talk]]) 21:26, 1 August 2016 (UTC)

It could also take some inspiration from honeycreepers, as they live in Hawaii, which Alola is based on, have curved beaks, like Oricorio, and they have variations based on what island they are on, just like Oricorio. [[User:Logo7|Logo7]] ([[User talk:Logo7|talk]]) 21:52, 1 August 2016 (UTC)

:I would think that the fact that Oricorio changes forms by drinking the nectar of flowers to also indicate that it's based on honeycreepers, for they too drink nectar. Plus, certain species of honeycreepers have very similar color schemes to Oricorio.[[User:Nintendo101|Nintendo101]] ([[User talk:Nintendo101|talk]]) 23:48, 1 August 2016 (UTC)

== Name origin ==

I’ve taken it upon myself to investigate the naming of the latest batch of Pokémon, and I think I’ve come up with something! Starting with Oricorio, its Japanese name “Odoridori” derives from “odori” – a traditional Japanese dance – and irodori (彩り) – the Japanese word for “color”.

“Oricorio” seems to also derive from “irodori” at least partially, but the “corio” part sounds similar to the pronunciation for “choreography”, a sequence of steps to dancing. It is the “choreo” portion of the word that specifically means “dance”, deriving from the Greek word “khoros”.

If anyone seems to agree with me or has additional suggestions, feel free to bring them up! [[User:Nintendo101|Nintendo101]] ([[User talk:Nintendo101|talk]]) 23:37, 1 August 2016 (UTC)

:Just gonna put this one out there, but did no one think of "[http://www.dictionary.com/browse/oratorio oratorio]" as a possible root word? [[User:Schiffy|I don't even give a Schif]] ([[User talk:Schiffy|Talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Schiffy|Contribs]]) 17:19, 1 December 2016 (UTC)

== Oricorio's styles in Russian ==

Baile Style: Бальный стиль ''Bal'nyy stil'''

Pom-Pom Style: Стиль Пом-Пом ''Stil' Pom-Pom''

Pa'u Style: Стиль Пау ''Stil' Pau''

Sensu Style: Чувственный стиль ''Chuvstvennyy stil'''

could someone on in the staff please add this? --[[User:Raltseye|Raltseye]] [[User talk:Raltseye|prata med mej]] 09:50, 3 August 2016 (UTC)
:Added. --[[User:Abcboy|Abcboy]] ([[User talk:Abcboy|talk]]) 10:02, 3 August 2016 (UTC)

== Fixing the Pa'u etymology description ==

Pāʻū is not the Hawaiian word for a Grass Skirt, it is a term for any sort of skirt worn during Hula, whether it is Grass, Ti leaves, or even modern cotton skirts. Oricorio's pāʻū design more resembles Lā‘ī (Cordyline fruticosa), not grass.—[[User:Naui|Naui]] ([[User talk:Naui|talk]]) 18:51, 10 August 2016 (UTC)
:{{wp|Grass skirt}}s don't have to be made of "grass", per se. I'm not sure if you know Hawaiian well, but after looking into it a bit more closely, I believe that the word, all by itself, primarily just refers to any kind of skirt, so I've simply generalized it. [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 19:06, 10 August 2016 (UTC)
::I'm fluent in Hawaiian and have been since I was little. Technically pāʻū can be used for the word skirt in general. However, from a Hawaiian cultural and hula standpoint, it is used more to signify the skirts worn during hula. Palekoki is more the generic word for any kind of skirt.—[[User:Naui|Naui]] ([[User talk:Naui|talk]]) 20:32, 10 August 2016 (UTC)
:::Alright then. I've tried to point up that significance then. [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 20:43, 10 August 2016 (UTC)

== Polish names of styles ==

*Styl Baile
*Styl Pomponowy
*Styl Pa’u
*Styl Sensu

== Kāmaʻo ==

is it possible there may be some inspiration from the now extinct Kāmaʻo? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/K%C4%81ma%CA%BBo [[User:Yamitora1|Yamitora1]] ([[User talk:Yamitora1|talk]]) 10:14, 24 August 2016 (UTC)

== Evolution ==

It was pointed out on [[Talk:Type: Null (Pokémon)]] that Oricorio's page says it is not known to evolve into or from any Pokémon, even though we aren't supposed to list that on prerelease Pokémon. Admin? [[User:Nutter Butter|Nutter Butter]] ([[User talk:Nutter Butter|talk]]) 19:48, 12 October 2016 (UTC)
:Will an admin please remove that sentence, explain why it is necessary, or unlock the page so that I can do it for them if they don't have time? [[User:Nutter Butter|Nutter Butter]] ([[User talk:Nutter Butter|talk]]) 15:48, 15 October 2016 (UTC)
::I don't know what's wrong with it at all. AFAIK it's a true statement. [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 15:52, 15 October 2016 (UTC)
:::In that case, can that statement please be added to [[Komala]], [[Pikipek]], [[Tapu Koko]], [[Drampa]], [[Bruxish]], [[Togedemaru]], [[Salandit]], [[Mimikyu]], [[Wimpod]], [[Comfey]], [[Pyukumuku]], [[Morelull]], [[Turtonator]], [[Crabrawler]], [[Passimian]], and [[Oranguru]]? [[User:Nutter Butter|Nutter Butter]] ([[User talk:Nutter Butter|talk]]) 16:02, 15 October 2016 (UTC)
::::That's a lot of names you've thrown out, and at this pre-release stage, I don't (personally) think it's really worth bothering with. It's not a problem that the sentence is here; nor is it a problem that it's not on those pages. When the games come out, everything will be edited exactly as it should be. [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 16:10, 15 October 2016 (UTC)
:::::I like consistency. But I suppose that makes sense too. [[User:Nutter Butter|Nutter Butter]] ([[User talk:Nutter Butter|talk]]) 16:14, 15 October 2016 (UTC)

== Form order ==

Is there a reason we're listing the forms in a different order than how they're encounterable in-game? [[User:Pumpkinking0192|Pumpkinking0192]] ([[User talk:Pumpkinking0192|talk]]) 21:11, 10 December 2016 (UTC)
:It's the order used in the internal data and on [http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon/ the] [http://www.pokemon.co.jp/ex/sun_moon/pokemon/160801_01.html official] [http://www.nintendo.com.hk/pressrelease/3ds_20160801_sun_moon_release_2.htm sites]. --[[User:Abcboy|Abcboy]] ([[User talk:Abcboy|talk]]) 21:22, 10 December 2016 (UTC)
::Ah! Makes sense. Then, since it's slightly obscure to figure out without already knowing, would it be worth noting somewhere (Biology? Game locations?) which island each form can be natively found on? As far as I can tell, as things stand currently, one has to go to the [[Nectar]] page (and then follow the links to each individual location page, if the reader hasn't memorized which locations are on which island), which is a bit overcomplicated for a very simple piece of information. [[User:Pumpkinking0192|Pumpkinking0192]] ([[User talk:Pumpkinking0192|talk]]) 05:55, 11 December 2016 (UTC)
:::I think the Pokedex ''actually'' shows them in the island order. I'm not 100% sure because I'm currently missing the Poni form. [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 05:58, 11 December 2016 (UTC)
:: ^ Correct, the Alolan Pokedex lists their forms from left to right as Pom-Pom, Pa'u, Baile, and Sensu. --''[[User:Stratelier|Stratelier]]'' 04:03, 23 December 2016 (UTC)
== Trivia ==
I would like to point out that Sensu Style Oricorio is the only style that does not shar eit's primary typing with the guaridan deity of the island it is found in. Is this notable? [[User:Sirspykerks|Sirspykerks]] ([[User talk:Sirspykerks|talk]]) 03:04, 26 December 2016 (UTC)
:Baile Style doesn't match its deity, either. (since there's no Fire-type tapu) [[User:TechSkylander1518|TechSkylander1518]] ([[User talk:TechSkylander1518|talk]]) 03:08, 26 December 2016 (UTC)

::It's not a problem at all, I personally think that's a pretty interesting fact, I'm glad you pointed it out!

== How do I add Thousand Arrows to that Iron Ball/Gravity/Smack Down note? ==

If Gravity is in effect, this Pokémon is given an Iron Ball or a Ring Target, or it is affected by Smack Down or Ingrain, the effectiveness of Ground-type moves is 2×.

I want to add Thousand Arrows to this, but I can't because the text isn't actually in the article. I see newground=1, but I'm still not sure what to do. [[User:Unowninator|Unowninator]] ([[User talk:Unowninator|talk]]) 05:16, 29 December 2016 (UTC)
:[[Template:TypeEffectiveness]] is locked, so you'll have to ask a staff member to do it. But instead of having them add it, it's probably better to have them change the whole thing to just "If this Pokémon is [[grounded]], the effectiveness of Ground-type moves is 2x", or something like that.

Talk:Professor Kukui

2017-01-18T20:39:34Z

BobBot321:

== Speech ==
His [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5K3Cs7WyAxE Japanese trailer] has a lot more dialog from him than the English version. One immediately obvious character trait is that he speaks in an ''extremely'' casual style for a man of his age and position. The lone English line of his in the US/UK trailer shows its maintained in the English text. This seems a prominent enough character trait to add to the page. --[[User:Deuxhero|Deuxhero]] ([[User talk:Deuxhero|talk]]) 00:36, 3 June 2016 (UTC)

He was shown to own a Rockruff today in footage from Pokenchi. [[User:Nutter Butter|Nutter Butter]] ([[User talk:Nutter Butter|talk]]) 23:49, 2 July 2016 (UTC)
:It looks like it could very easily have just been a clip from the game's intro. I.e., that'd be like saying Sycamore [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t12aJ2WjVCg&t=45s owns a Gogoat]. [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 00:29, 3 July 2016 (UTC)

::::Is there ever a point in the rest of the game that shows the Old Man from Kanto's Weedle again? Or Calem/Serena's Bunnelby that they catch in the tutorial? But those are listed.

:::::I'm really not sure about that... Go back and watch Sycamore's intro. Are you gonna tell me that's part of the "real (Pokemon) world"? At the end, you go through a door of light in the middle of the room. It's just an abstract thing. I don't think hardly ''any'' of the intros make strict sense (especially the professors' dialogue) if you try to imagine it as actually happening "for real". Maybe ORAS, but it's still presented in a relatively unique circumstance.

== Kukui's Demo Version Dialogues ==

So out of boredom, I decided to collect all of Kukui's dialogue in the game before realizing that I don't have the authority to edit this page yet. I gathered them all in the pastebin [http://pastebin.com/MptRMscK here], and coded them already to the usual character dialogue style. I hope anyone finds this useful. --[[User:Aozora210|Aozora210]] ([[User talk:Aozora210|talk]]) 21:12, 19 October 2016 (UTC)

== Name version and starter pokemon ==

Professor Kukui is the first and only professor to not change the name from japanese version to the US version, also he is the first professor to not give the player his/her starter pokémon or having someone related to him(like an assistant) do it.[[User:Robin Maximo|Robin Maximo]] ([[User talk:Robin Maximo|talk]]) 10:15, 9 December 2016 (UTC)

== Primarina's gender ==
Right now, Kukui's Primarina's gender is shown as male. But I'm defending my title against Kukui right now and his Primarina is female. Is there a possibility, that his Pokémon can be of either gender (retaining their gender on subsequent battles, of course)? [[User:Kikugi|Kikugi]] ([[User talk:Kikugi|talk]]) 10:40, 3 January 2017 (UTC)

==Spoilers?==

Is it worth putting a spoiler tag on the story part of the article? Personally I found it more exciting when I didn't know who I was going to face in the final battle. [[User:BobBot321|BobBot321]] ([[User talk:BobBot321|talk]]) 20:39, 18 January 2017 (UTC)

====Pokémon Center Café====
{{main|Pokémon Center Café}}
At the Pokémon Center Café, the owner will give the player two gifts the first time they buy a drink each day: an item and a dozen [[Poké Bean]]s.

He will also give the player a {{DL|Vitamin|Rare Candy}} if they have fed certain amounts of Poké Beans to their Pokémon.

====Berry pile====
The [[Berry]] pile can have two sizes: a small pile that yields three random Berries or a large pile that yields four to five Berries. The first Berry in a large pile is fixed. In large piles, the player will always find a high level {{p|Crabrawler}} hiding among the Berries that the player must defeat in order to collect them; small piles only occasionally have low level Crabrawler hiding among the Berries. The Berry pile regenerates daily.

Talk:Pokémon breeding

BobBot321:

OOps. [[User:Evkl|Evkl]] 01:45, 1 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Should this be listed under Pokémon Breeding or simply Breeding? -[[user:greengiant|greengiant]]

Probably Poke breeding with a redirect from "breeding"

A picture says more than tousand words

== Strange Breeding: How did these things happen? ==

A couple of strange things happened to me when I was breeding a male Blaziken with a female Phanpy (which is strange enough in itself, I guess)
#When the egg hatched, the Phanpy knew Rock Smash. This shouldn't have been able to happen because I had previously deleted Rock Smash from Blaziken via the Move Deleter guy.
#The Phanpy hatched holding a PP Up! Needless to say, I was thrilled, but is there any reason for this occurance? Is it random or predictable?
Thanks a lot →[[User:Evin290|Evin290]] 12:18, 30 June 2006 (UTC)

:I don;t know about the first, but I believe the second is because of Phanphy's ability "Pickup".--[[User:Skully Collins|Skully Collins]] 08:42, 5 September 2007 (UTC)

Yeah the PP Up is definetly a result of the pick-up. As for the rock smash, no clue. --[[User:Blaziken=Tahu|Blaziken=Tahu]] 02:58, 29 January 2009 (UTC)

Could be something intentional. I would assume that Phanpy could learn Strength if you taught that to Blaziken then removed it. [[User:Learner4|Learner4]] 20:26, 24 November 2009 (UTC)

Im actually thinking that Phanphy can learn Rock Smash, so if Blaziken knew it then there are still "reminints" of Rock Smash there, as shown by the move relearner guy. Maybe when the breeding happened the data some how got mixed and BAM, you have a Phanphy that knows Rock Smash. Did you use any cheats (earlier on) at all?--[[User:Sorou|sorou]] 17:11, 30 December 2009 (UTC)

== Abilities ==
I have seen, and the D/P Nintendo power guide states that, you can pass on abilities via breeding. This would be important to note, wouldn't it? It seems like something that big should be listed. Especially when you consider the possibilities! (I personally love my wonder-guarded sableye) Also, I think this should possibly be noted in the "chain breeding" section as well.
--[[User:TheCakeIsALie|TheCakeIsALie]] 02:51, 7 January 2008 (UTC)

True. Good eye. You may place it in the article in the appropriate place. And don't forget your sig or people won't know who you are.[[User:Pokemaniac102|<big>'''''Poke'''''</big>]][[User talk:Pokemaniac102|'''''Maniac''''']][[Special:Contributions/Pokemaniac102|<big>'''''102'''''</big>]] 06:28, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

:Plus, the only Pokémon with Wonder Guard can't breed with anything but Ditto, so it'd never pass it on to Sableye. If you got that thing in a trade, it's hacked, man. '''[[User:TTEchidna|''TTE'']][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]][[User:TTEchidna/GSDS|GSDS!]]''' 06:51, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

Crap, thanks for pointing that out. Dang... But on another note, you CAN pass abilities legitimately, but I misread: they are passed along by the mother, so it would stay in the proper species. (the example given in NP's guide is 2 bibarel breed. Mother has Simple, father has Unaware, so offspring is a Bidoof with Simple.) So I was halfway right, but again, thanks for poiinting that out. I guess I ought to not use it much then, huh?--[[User:TheCakeIsALie|TheCakeIsALie]] 02:51, 7 January 2008 (UTC)
:I just did a test run breeding two Kadabras, both with the ability [[Inner Focus (ability)|Inner Focus]]. They successfully bred an Abra with the ability [[Synchronize (ability)|Synchronize]]. This proves that, at least for HeartGold, ability is ''not'' passed down by either parent. --[[User:Kerrick|Kerrick]] 17:23, 22 April 2010 (UTC)

I can't actually PROVE this, but in my experience, the Everstone seems to have a similar effect on Abilities to the one it has on Natures. So, assuming that the mother is not a Ditto, and there is a chance between the two Abilities, and the mother is holding an Everstone, there appears to be a better than 50% chance that the child will have the same ability. I have no idea how to formally prove this, but if someone could either explain to me how to prove it, or simply look into it themselves, it would be appreciated.--[[User:Xatu|Xatu]] 03:49, 24 January 2010 (UTC)

== Tauros & Miltank ==

Can anybody confirm for certain that their eggs are supposed to be 50% Tauros and 50% Miltank? I've personally hatched 11 eggs from a Tauros and a Ditto, and all of them were Tauros, which means I must be exceptionally unlucky if half of them are supposed to be Miltank. FYI, I'm playing Diamond where Miltank are rarer than Tauros (the opposite is true in Pearl). I thought it would be easier to breed a Miltank than catch one. [[User:Drapion|Drapion]] 17:28, 11 July 2007 (UTC)

I think the 50-50 chance thing is only if you breed a Miltank with Ditto; all of Tauros's kids with Ditto will be Tauros. [[User:Fsilone|Fsilone]] 22:29, 6 October 2007 (UTC)

:There is no way in any of the games for Tauros to hatch from a Miltank egg, or for Miltank to hatch from a Tauros egg. MorningStar edited this page with a note indicating otherwise as early as in March 2006, which is to say without knowledge of Diamond and Pearl. I believe no one bothered to fix it then due to the possibility of that holding true in the upcoming games, and since their release everyone has assumed the statement to be true because it was on the page so early on. Regardless of the reason, this note should have long been removed; it is easy to verify that even when breeding Miltank and Tauros ''together'' in the latest games, the product is still always a Miltank. I have done so for the sake of being on the safe side. [[User:Unown Lord|Unown Lord]] 13:30, 8 November 2007 (UTC)

::I've changed this section of the page. I can confirm empirically (hatched 41 eggs: 28 from a Miltank + Ditto, 13 from a Miltank + various Ground-group Pokes) that you cannot hatch a Tauros from a Miltank egg in Pokemon Pearl, and I assume the same goes for Diamond; based on Unown Lord's comments I am assuming this applies to all the games. If it turns out you can, then feel free to revert the page - I haven't hacked the code, this is entirely based on testing, so it's possibly that I was ''extremely'' unlucky and happened to get 41 eggs that all hatched Miltank purely by chance, but I think that's unlikely.

::The only sources I can find online that support the Miltank/Tauros breeding line are either questionable (user FAQs on the Marriland forum that contain other errors) or based on this site. [[User:Castorquinn|Castorquinn]] 22:30, 20 May 2008 (UTC)

== Ditto + Ditto? ==

Someone settle something for me: Can you breed Ditto with Ditto? - [[User:Cassius335|Cassius335]]

No. I tried. - [[User:MacGyver|MacGyver]]

Thanks. *notices the Discussion page for Ditto and wonders why he didn't look there in the first place*. - [[User:Cassius335|Cassius335]]

Then how are there wild ditto if they can't breed together?
Do they spontaneously appear or something? [[User:Chuck67322|Chuck67322]] 05:14, 4 August 2009 (UTC)

Ditto looks like a big pile of goo, maybe over time they split in half like bacteria. [[User:Darkcloud1111|Darkcloud1111]] 00:57, 17 August 2009 (UTC)

== Technical Question ==

Do the natures of the parents make any difference on whether or not they will produce an egg? I'm trying to get my Dragonite to give Outrage to a new Gible, and the old man in Solaceon says they don't like eachother at all... Obviously that's not good, but why, and what can I do to change it?
:At all? ..are you sure you're breeding a Dragonite with a <s>complete haxxmacheen</s> Garchomp? Cause I do believeth that Garchomp and Dragonite can breed. o_o; [[User:TinaTheKirlia|Tina]][[User:TinaTheKirlia/Sandbox|☆]][[User:TinaTheKirlia/Favorites|♥]][[User talk:TinaTheKirlia|♫]] 04:07, 8 November 2007 (UTC)
::Not at all? You sure? Pretty much always when they're in the same egg group, they'll breed. '''[[User:TTEchidna|TTE]][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]]''' 05:42, 8 November 2007 (UTC)
:I have had similar problems. Sometimes I always make sure to check the Egg Groups before I attempt breeding, but every once in a while, the Daycare Man in Diamond tells me that they dislike each other. (oops, forgot to sign) --[[User:Dual|Dual]] 05:09, 16 November 2007 (UTC)

There's no problem at all, peeps! If 'They don't like each other very much' it doesn't matter! AS long as they don't totally despise each other that's okay. I tried Ditto with my Lucario (TTE said it would work) and it worked altough they didn't like each other! '''[[User:Optimus35|Agent]] [[User talk:Optimus35|#448]]''' [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?limit=50&title=Special%3AContributions&contribs=user&target=Optimus35&namespace=0&year=&month=-1 ☆] | [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qZPMmUEHFIU ♥] 09:52, 16 November 2007 (UTC)
::Why do I feel compelled to respond to this comment by saying "Rape!"[[User:Mystrich|Mystrich]] 06:06, 24 February 2008 (UTC)

The message “They don´t seem to like each other much.” indicates that the Pokémon are of different species but have the same trainer IDs, which means that out of all breedable Pokémon pairs, they have the lowest chance of producing an egg. This lower chance translates to a statistically longer period of waiting until the Daycare man hands you the egg, but nothing beyond that. [[User:Unown Lord|Unown Lord]] 10:25, 16 November 2007 (UTC)

I think it means that it's sort of like when two people pretend to hate each other but they really love each other but don't know it themselves.

== Question ==

"However, there are two pairs of Pokémon species where the male and female are treated as different Pokémon. In these cases, the egg may hatch into either the male or female species:

*[[Nidoran♀ (Pokémon)|Nidoran♀]] and [[Nidoran♂ (Pokémon)|Nidoran♂]]
*[[Illumise (Pokémon)|Illumise]] and [[Volbeat (Pokémon)|Volbeat]]"

Would this also be true in the case of Tauros and Miltank? Could a Miltank have an egg containing Tauros? Just asking cause it's not listed in the article. --[[Special:Contributions/Kenji-girl|☆]][[Tracey Sketchit|ケンジ]][[User:Kenji-girl|ガール]] 10:17, 18 November 2007 (UTC)

Would it be true to say that only the female can lay and egg that could be either? I tried breeding a Nidoran♂ with a Ditto to get a [[Nidoran♀ (Pokémon)|♀]] but I just ended up with a dozen [[Nidoran♂ (Pokémon)|♂]]s. I did succesfully get a [[Volbeat (Pokémon)|Volbeat]] from an [[Illumise (Pokémon)|Illumise]].

:Your first assertion is correct, and has thus been added to the page. As noted in a paragraph above by myself, Tauros and Miltank are simply not linked. It seems to me that the disillusion of not having a calf-like Pokémon as a pre-evolution to both, has caused a multitude of fans to believe in some fabricated indication that one is forthcoming.

Inbreeding is when closely related individuals mate and have children. It's very taboo in human culture but animal breeders do this with certain breeds of an animal, like dogs.

Uhm. This is weird, but i've had two weird things happen with breeding that make little sense. Like, first, this happened today, i put my Shieldon and Cranidos in the day-care (one female, the other male) and the old man said "These two prefer too play with other Pokémon" and i like, i came back too get them and they'd had an egg, and last time i checked, "They prefer too play with other Pokémon" meant they weren't going too have an egg (i took the egg anyway). Uhm, the second thing, which is really weird, happened a few months ago on my Pokémon Emerald, i put my male Charizard and male Blaziken in the Daycare (cos i'm too lazy too train them myself) ...and they had an egg |: Last time i checked, Guy + Guy does not = baby/egg |: I'm 100% sure they we're both male. I was pretty sure it was just a glitch in the game, but i was wondering if it's happened too anyone else?

I've been hatching several eggs at a time (getting three eggs, storing the parents, and then running up and down), and the number of steps in between hatches is always a multiple of 255, with 510 as the minimum (recent numbers are 510 and 1275). The steps between picking up the eggs are as low as 256, and I was carrying around Camerupt with Magma Armor. The numbers don't make sense unless there's some delay added to the other eggs when picking up eggs or hatching them, or some other weird hidden factor.

:::The article is a bit ambiguous on this point, it says "And starting in crystal, move tutor moves" in brackets under section 1.3.3 (passing moves down) - which could mean "only in crystal", or it could mean "from crystal onwards". Currently, in Soul Silver, I'm breeding a Cyndaquil with extrasensory, and I tried to teach it heat wave at the same time (to save me tutoring it later) by breeding a Vulpix that knows it from Growlithe (egg move). Vulpix had Extrasensory and Heat Wave (and flamethrower and fire spin) when I bred it with Quilava, but the resulting Cyndaquil only knew extrasensory and flamethrower, despite the fact that Cyndaquil can be tutored Heat Wave (I wasn't expecting Fire Spin though). I think this means that move tutor moves are NOT passed down, but TMs are passed down no problem. I'd quite like to hear from anyone who's done a bit more research into this though - it might just be a flaw in the way I did the breeding (though I doubt it, since Extrasensory worked out fine). Oh - and I think that section should also include information about ditto-move-breeding. I know moves held by females aren't carried down when breeding with ditto - do male+ditto couples pass on moves held by the male, like normal? [[User:NLawson|NLawson]] 04:20, 5 April 2010 (UTC)

== A question about IVs... ==

In HGSS, by using the EV Enhancers you can choose to pass a specific IV from a parent to their offspring. My question is this: Is it possible to have the passed down IV overwriten if the other parent passes down a higher IV of the same stat? For example, If I was trying to breed a Bronzong with a speed IV of zero and I used a Power Anklet to pass the zero stat from one parent, could the other parent then pass down it's higher speed IV, overwriting the IV I actually wanted? ~ [[User:Ender Phoenix|Ender Phoenix]] 00:46, 11 March 2010 (UTC)
:Yes. Me and some friends confirmed this by accident a while back when trying to breed for IVs. Furthermore, a lower IV can replace a higher one, which is what actually happened in our experiences. In my case, I was trying to breed a perfect Attack/Speed Scyther with Jolly nature from a perfect attack Scyther (holding a Power Bracer) and a perfect speed Volbeat (holding a Power Anklet). The first Jolly Scyther I got had perfect speed, but imperfect attack. Upon checking the Volbeat's IVs, it had indeed inherited the Volbeat's attack IV, overwriting the IV passed on by the Power Bracer. I think what this means is that the EV training items just force the first one or two IVs that are chosen (depending on how many you;re using) and then the last one/two is/are chosen randomly with the possibility of overwriting the previously passed IV(s). Anyway, I'm gonna go ahead and edit this into the article (minus the details of the experiment). - [[User:Sensei Hanzo|Sensei Hanzo]] 15:16, 26 May 2010 (UTC)

== Everstone and Nature inheritance from non-Ditto males in Diamond/Pearl ==
Under the "Inheriting Natures" section, it says: "In Generation IV inheriting Nature was changed a little. Whichever Pokémon is holding an Everstone will pass down its nature, '''regardless of gender''', or whether it is breeding with a ditto."

The "regardless of gender" bit is problematic. It contradicts Smogon University's Breeding Guide (Part II), which states:

"In EDP, if a '''female''' Pokémon is holding the item Everstone and breeds with a male Pokémon, the baby will have a 50% chance of having the same nature as the female Pokémon. This also works if the Pokémon holding Everstone is Ditto."

I am playing Diamond. To test, I've attempted to breed a Cubone with the Lonely nature by using a male Nidoran (Lonely nature) and a female Cubone (Hardy nature). The male Nidoran is holding an Everstone while in the Daycare. So far, it has produced '''29''' Cubones, spanning '''17''' different natures, '''none of which have the Lonely nature'''.

While some players may have been successful with this method on HG/SS, I think the page should say that it may work in HG/SS but not in D/P. [[User:Fyda|Fyda]] 22:10, 4 June 2010 (UTC)
:I think you might just be misreading the paragraph... it's pretty widely known and obvious that males will never have a 50% chance of passing natures, in any game.

I think the offending sentence on the page is just plain ''wrong'', but there's a ''citation'' for it, which points to a forum thread where people claim to have gotten the Everstone trick to work on males for passing down their natures. Assuming they're not posting misinformation, I was wondering if this was a recent change to the Everstone trick that only occurred in HG/SS, while still not working in D/P/Pt. Right now the paragraph needs to be changed, and what I'd like to determine is whether it's A) completely false for any game in the series, or B) true only for specific games. [[User:Fyda|Fyda]] 07:18, 5 June 2010 (UTC)

Yeah, something's definitely wrong with the Generation IV natures part. On HeartGold I've had an adamant Ditto holding an Everstone and an Adamant Croagunk breeding. I hatched countless eggs and none of the Croagunks had an adamant nature. I get the feeling that breeding two pokemon with the same nature will '''NEVER''' result in a pokemon with that nature. I tried using a Croagunk with a naughty nature. none of the four Croagunks had an adamant nature. So that part where it talks about an everstone always passing on a nature is wrong.

== Lists of egg moves ==

(Not actually about this page, rather about lists of moves learned by breeding, e.g. [[Pichu (Pokémon)#By breeding]].) Two questions:

Firstly, where does the list of fathers come from? Is it programmed into the game that a given Pokémon can have a move passed down from X, Y or Z, or is it simply a list of all Pokémon that could both father this Pokémon and legitimately have the move?

Secondly, why do we have lists of egg moves for Pokémon which cannot be the product of breeding, e.g. [[Raichu (Pokémon)#By breeding]]? Does this data exist in the game, and if so, how would one exploit it? Or have we merely copied the egg moves of its pre-evolved form? In the former case the list seems unnecessary, in the latter it seems both unnecessary and erroneous.

The second one I can more or less answer. I would assume that it's there for convenience.--[[User:Black Yin Zekrom|Black Yin Zekrom]] 22:38, 10 October 2010 (UTC)

:The answer to your first question is that yes, it's just a list of all Pokémon which could both father the Pokémon and legitimately obtain the move. The answer to your second question is that the list is indeed copied from the pre-evolution's egg moves.
:Both of these are for convenience, as Black Yin Zekrom explained. The lists of potential fathers would otherwise need to be obtained by comparing the list of Pokémon which could have the move and the list of which egg moves the desired Pokémon would have, which would be a lot of work which ought to be done by us beforehand, if we intend for people to use this site as a resource. The lists of egg moves for evolved Pokémon helps people who are building a competitive team to find which moves a fully-evolved Pokémon would have, without having to reference its first stage. It is extraneous, but it's also helpful for people who use Bulbapedia to make decisions regarding their games. --[[User:AndyPKMN|AndyPKMN]] 23:04, 10 October 2010 (UTC)

::The first part is as I suspected. For the second part, I understand the reasoning, however it doesn't work completely.

== Generation II breeding ==

Is Parent/offspring breeding COMPLETELY off the table in these games? Seems to me the only check is the IV one, but there are scenarios where it could be bypassed. For example, a male breeds with Ditto and produces a female. The male and Ditto obviously have different Defense and Special IVs (or Special +/- 8), and so the male parent and female offspring should also have different Defense and Special IVs. In this case, since they'd share the same egg groups, the game should allow them to breed, correct? [[User:Starscream|Starscream]] 22:00, 8 December 2010 (UTC)

== Abilities Redux: Hidden abilities ==

As mentioned [[Talk:Pokémon breeding#Abilities|at the beginning of the talk page]] there was previous rumors abilities could be passed down, but according to [[Pokémon Dream World#Breeding mechanics|this]], with the new hidden abilities this actually seems to be the case. So shouldn't this be included on the page? [[User:Tasty Salamanders|Tasty Salamanders]] 09:27, 14 December 2010 (UTC)

:Out of 16 eggs with a Ditto and a Nidoran Female with Hustle, none of them hatched to have Hustle. Not impossible, but improbable. I have also not had it occur for any of my other Pokemon with Dream World abilities, out of 60-ish eggs total.

::They don't, it was also researched by Smogon as far as I remember.

I'm curious about the probability of the child inheriting the mother's Dream World ability, too. To test it, I've bred and hatched 30 {{p|Shinx}} eggs from my female {{p|Luxray}} (originally from the Dream World) and a traded male {{p|Stoutland}}. My personal results are as follows:

* Genders: 14 male, 16 female
* Abilities: 4 {{a|Intimidate}}, 9 {{a|Rivalry}}, 18 {{a|Guts}}

The gender split is typical for their species, and so is the Intimidate/Rivalry split. But I also happen to have 60% of them born with the mother's Dream World ability, Guts. (All 30 were born with the father's specific moveset of Fire/Ice/Thunder Fang and Crunch.) This implies that the chance of a mother passing down her Dream World ability via breeding is somewhere in the range of 1 in 2, 2 in 3, or 3 in 5. Does anyone have (or know of) more samples to establish the probability with? --''[[User:Stratelier|Stratelier]] 20:38, 17 May 2011 (UTC)''

:::::The number of steps taken for an egg to hatch is determined in cycles of 256, each 256 steps you take makes the number of cycles still needed decrease by one, so if for example you receive an egg when the game is in the 1st step of a cycle and then get another egg within the same cycle (within 255 steps) the two eggs' will reach a cycle of 0 at the same time, and since two eggs can't hatch at the same time, the game hatches it on the next step.

In White, I have definitely bred a Nidoran♂ (received from the Dream World and definitely not hacked) with Ditto and received the female counterpart.

:My guess is that you are just unlucky. In order to speed up the process, you can try to find an Calm Abra with Synchronize, and then put that at the front of the party and find a Ditto.

:Did he give you them literally one after the other? Or did you walk around a bit to produce another? For me, in Emerald, I hatched about ten of a couple different Pokémon (Charmander, Squirtle, Bulbasaur, & Beldum) and each species was almost all the same gender (usually only 1 different). I guess with the same parents, the ratio usually amounts to the same stats and stuff. -- [[User:Pringles|Pringles]] 22:47, 19 June 2012 (UTC)

I walked around, but the very next egg he have me was identical to the first - everything the same. With the Starter Pokemon, they are usually male anyways, and Beldum doesn't have a gender, so their genders should be the same except for the occasional female starter.

== Breeding moves glitch? ==

Recently, on my Black version, I was breeding Dratini's with the moves Extremespeed and Dragon Dance, and I noticed something peculiar about how moves are passed down. I started with a male, level 90 Dragonite and a Ditto for parents (the father knew both Extremespeed and Dragon Dance), and the pair produced Dratini's that knew both of these moves. The strange part occurred after I found a more suitable father (for IV's). It was a level 1 Dratini that knew both Extremespeed and Dragon Dance. While it was in the daycare breeding eggs, it also leveled up. I eventually found a better father when the Dratini in the daycare was well over level 30, so it had been forced to forget both Extremespeed and Dragon Dance. However, it never once failed to breed its entire original moveset onto any of the new Dratini's. That is, every Dratini that my parents produced, even when the parents didn't know any of these moves, knew Wrap, Leer, Extremespeed, and Dragon Dance.

I also tested this while breeding Dragon Dance onto Scraggy's. I used one father, from level 1 and with Dragon Dance, to breed until it reached level 18, when it has forgotten Dragon Dance. I checked by saving my game, pulling the Pokemon out, checking its moves, and resetting the DS. Then, I rode around until I received another egg and hatched it. It knew Dragon Dance.

I know my friends struggle to avoid Pokemon forgetting important moves, by taking the Pokemon out at the right time and leveling it up outside of the daycare, but this glitch (or possibly not?) seems to make that unnecessary. I also can't say I've ever seen this discussed specifically on any breeding information guide. True, most guides say the father will pass down moves, but none that I've read say that it will pass down moves it knew and then forgot.

Thoughts? Similar experiences? [[User:Brilliance360|Brilliance360]] ([[User talk:Brilliance360|talk]]) 17:34, 20 July 2012 (UTC)brilliance360

:This is a well-known (or so I thought) mechanic. It will always pass down moves according to what it knew when you put it in there.

:Not a glitch. From personal experience, this also occurs in Emerald, and I'm going to extrapolate that it probably occurs in breeding for all games Generation III and onwards. Apparently a Pokemon's moveset is recalculated only upon removal from the daycare, and not while it levels up, and it's calculated by taking the Pokemon's current moveset as a list, adding at the end of the list all moves it would've learned while levelling up in order, and then taking the last 4 moves, although I guess that's common knowledge.

Female Clefairy holding a Power Anklet{{tt|*|It was before I realised that only one EV-enchancing item worked, not both}} the following IV:

== Black/White 2 - strange IV inheritance behaviour ==

When I attempted to start IV breeding, I came across some weird things. For example, I was breeding two Horsea with the following IV's:

Horsea 1 (holding Power Weight): '''19''' / 27 / 20 / 22 / 8 / 23

Horsea 2 (holding Power Lens): 5 / 30 / 20 / '''17''' / 30 / 19

So imagine my confusion when I leveled up the child a fair bit{{tt|*|IV calculation results are extremely ambiguous for a Lv1}} and calculated it's IV's:

Horsea 3: 3-6 / 29-31 / 19-22 / 16-18 / 21-23 / 31

It's clear that HP (erroneously), Attack and Special Attack were inherited from Horsea 2, but only Defense was inherited from Horsea 1. So, what's with the IV values for Special Attack and especially Speed?! Certainly in the case of the latter, there was no clear place where these IV's were inherited from.

Were the mechanics changed in B2W2? Or perhaps the ambiguous wording of the article misled me? [[User:InterrobangPie|InterrobangPie]] ([[User talk:InterrobangPie|talk]]) 22:00, 6 December 2012 (UTC)

::So what is "generated normally?"

Do you mean to say that if an EV item is held, only 1 EV is derived from the parent, and the other 2 EV's are regenerated - i.e. are given a new value between 0-31?

I'd bike back and forth, picking up 5 eggs (while watching TV :P ) and hatching them, and every single one had the exact same EV and gender -- both in the SUMMARY screen and based on what the EV rater said. I had to take the Everstone off to get random stats (and a female). About an hour later, I got a near-perfect male Snivy with a bad nature, so I tried this again, and it worked. I got my desired nature from the Ditto -and- I duplicated the good stats from the Snivy.

The hatchlings are coming out with {{m|Poison Sting}}, {{m|String Shot}}, {{m|Sucker Punch}} and {{m|Psychic}}, in that order.

== Ditto will act as the male when breeding with genderless Pokes ==

There is a method (which I'm not going to explain) floating around online (and I have used it, it works like a charm) on how to get perfect IVs a lot easier, having to do with using the in-game boosting to level 50 function and breeding magikarps...but that's not what is important. The important part relevant to this discussion is which pokemon acts as which gender.

I think its important to note that Ditto will act as the Male when breeding with a genderless pokemon. The method I mentioned before is very gender-specific.
[[User:Jibbyjackjoe|Jibbyjackjoe]] ([[User talk:Jibbyjackjoe|talk]]) 07:20, 19 November 2013 (UTC)
:I think it might help if you linked to the method, just in case others want to test for similar results...? Additionally, the gender that Ditto "acts" as during breeding needs some clarification and/or testing (possibly in all generations, excluding Generation 1). By happenstance, in ''Pokémon Emerald Version'', I recently bred a Starmie (with the moveset of [[Ice Beam]], [[Thunderbolt]], [[Surf]], and [[Recover]], 3 of which are TMs in Generation 3) with a Ditto, and the Staryu offspring surprisingly had this moveset: Surf, Ice Beam, Thunderbolt, and [[Harden]]. I switched the Day-Care "slots" of the Ditto and the Starmie (meaning that Starmie acted as "Parent A" for one breeding session, and "Parent B" for another breeding session); the resulting Staryu offspring also had Surf, Ice Beam, Thunderbolt, and Harden. This surprising occurrence leads me to believe that, '''for [[Move]] Inheritance purposes''' (at least in ''Emerald Version''), when breeding a genderless Pokémon with Ditto, the genderless Pokémon acts as the "male", being able to pass down [[TM]]s and [[HM]]s that it knows. I'd like to see what the results are in other generations, though. [[User:Fenyx4|Fenyx4]] ([[User talk:Fenyx4|talk]]) 19:36, 23 January 2014 (UTC)

== Destiny Knot + Power item breeding? ==

I find the current page description confusing; exactly how does it work again and what's this part about one item overriding the other?

I'm trying to visualize it from a procedural standpoint ... e.g:
# Baby is initialized with a default set of random IVs.
# Overwrite three (or with Destiny Knot, five) IVs with values from either parent.
# Power Item overrides one selected value with the corresponding value from the parent.
# This is the final set of IVs the baby will be born with.

If I look at it this way, a Destiny Knot absolutely guarantees 5 IV's and a Power Item could potentially pass down the sixth (a 1/6 probability), but I'm sure this is not an accurate explanation of the mechanics.... --''[[User:Stratelier|Stratelier]]'' 02:00, 3 February 2014 (UTC)

== Destiny Knot influences gender of the baby? ==

I'm doing some IV breeding with the Power items and Destiny Knot in my [[Pokemon Y]] when I noticed something strange -- at first I thought it was just a fluke, but then it starts happening repeatedly ... under the same conditions....
* While trying to breed some {{p|Litleo}}, I hatched almost 20 female eggs ''in a row'' before getting even one male baby (after which I took the parents back). I think the mother was holding a Destiny Knot.
* I bred about a dozen {{p|Smeargle}} eggs and ''all but one'' were female (again, at which point I took the parents back). From a species known to have a 50/50 gender ratio. And the mother was the one holding a Destiny Knot.
* Out of curiosity, I swap the parents' items and try again, and a quick batch of five eggs turn out to be four males and one female. I'm going back to run some more, but the father was most definitely holding a Destiny Knot this time.

'''Hypothesis:''' Thinking there's a 50% chance that if one parent is holding a Destiny Knot, the baby will inherit their gender.

Anyone else want to experiment with this and post what you get? --''[[User:Stratelier|Stratelier]]'' 06:07, 6 February 2014 (UTC)
:I've looked around online, and several other people have made the same hypothesis as you. I think it's likely, but I certainly don't feel comfortable giving a specific probability. It's possible that it's just that the [[personality value]] is affected in a specific way and there is no universal probability, or the probability could be dependent on gender ratio. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 06:43, 6 February 2014 (UTC)
::Well Ratio aside, I did notice something like this with breeding Charmander. We know the species favors males, however when I first started, the Gender ratio was 50-50 for my hatchlings. This might have been because I kept giving Destiny Knot to both parents not knowing who was suppose to hold it ^^;

::But once I had a 4IV female on stats where I wanted them, I bred her with my Timid WT Japanese 5IV Charizard Stud (which feels so weird saying/typing that, but that's the technical term when breeding) Later egg batches produced 3 females two 2 males, 4 females to 1 male and switch between. Sometimes I only get 2 females and 3 males, but if my understanding of the ratio is correct, I am more likely to get 4-5 males and 0-1 females. That's not to say I always get at least to females, or even a female at all.

:::Ratios cannot switch unless you switch the conditions. The ratio applies to your whole sample.

:Well, I've given it a few more breeding runs and it looks like my previous runs are indeed just random flukes (though it does imply Litleo are clearly biased towards females) -- a run of 25 Smeargle (father holding Destiny Knot) produced 14 males and 11 females (56:44%, but this is close to standard) and a run of 25 {{p|Fennekin}} (mother holding Destiny Knot) produced only 3 females (~7:1). So I'm equal parts disappointed (it would've made breeding for gender much easier) and relieved (I can hopefully stop testing it now and get back to normal breeding).

:(Mathematical sidenote: Given X trials of a 1-in-X probability, the chances of said probability never happening in that run are roughly 1/e (or 38%). So if you hatched 8 Eevees, expect a 1-in-3 chance you won't have a single female among the whole lot.) --''[[User:Stratelier|Stratelier]]'' 20:23, 8 February 2014 (UTC)
I think this deserves a little more investigating. I think to some degree the Destiny Knot does effect gender, just not really big.

::I've been looking over the Pokemon I have hatched in the last month, and it seems that the females (Regardless of which parent held the Destiny Knot) all inherited more stats from their mother than their father. This might be the catalyst or just a very bizarre coincidence.

::But the difference between the males and females is that they usually always have the stat(s) that favor the parent with their gender. I mean this isn't 100%, but I have no females that seem to favor the father's inherited stats. Again, this could all be coincidence and circumstantial evidence.

::Anyways, of the Pokémon, I noticed that the Charmanders I so diligently hatched over the month which came from nearly identical 5IV parents had a large volume of females in them. The only stat the parents did not have perfect was Attack. They both had the same moves (Flamethrower, Flare Blize, Slash and Dragon Rush) and nature (Timid) so only their Attack stat (which was different for both) and the male being Japanese were the wild cards.

::Unfortunately I discovered that the kind of Charizard I wanted (Timid 5IV Shinny with max Speed and Sp. Atk) could not use Dragon Rush to its fullest due to it being a Physical move. Thats when I Bred out Dragon Rush and Bred in Dragon Pulse. This lead to a new problem, I would need a 5IV female with Dragon Pulse to breed with the 5IV japenese Charizard male to produce the 5IV Shiny I wanted so badly. I was able to get a 5IV male Charmander with Dragon Pulse instead of Dragon Rush from 5th generation 3IV parents, However I couldn't get a female. So I started breeding the 5IV male with a 4IV female in hopes of siring a 5IV female with Dragon Pulse so I could resume my attempts for a Timid 5IV Shiny.

::This new pair noticeably produced less daughters, and if my theory about inherited stats and the Destiny Knot is correct, this is because the father's stats would always be statically favored. Plus, none of the females in this batch would go beyond 4IV and always were born with stats identical to or close (3IV) to their mother. I bread for 3 days trying to get a female with 5IVs, and had 0 Luck. I had lots of 5IV males and one 6IV males, but no 5IV females.

::So after going through all this and reviewing the results.... I am pretty much convinced that which parent holds the Destiny Knot has nothing to do with gender, but instead its what stats are inherited when Destiny Knot is in play. Again this might just be circumstantial.

::Hopefully we can get into the game's coding and (no pun intended) decode the mysteries of breeding in gen VI.

:I'd like to once again bring this topic back up with another hypothesis. I think the gender of the baby is influenced by which parent it inherits its IVs from. In other words, inheriting an IV from a parent increases the chance of the baby sharing its gender with that parent. If this hypothesis is correct, it means you have direct influence over what gender the baby has by giving it a power item. (The exact numbers I do not know.)

:I've been breeding hundreds of Snorlaxes; the father has 5 perfect IVs, and the mother has 1, 2, or 3 in each case that I've tested. In each case, I used a power item to guarantee an IV was passed down from the father that the mother didn't have, and the results I've seen are around 80% male when Snorlax should be 50% male-female. This is after breeding around 100 Snorlaxes. (Note: The species of the male didn't appear to matter, as I saw the same results when I started with a Whismur as the father.)

:To further confirm this, I have hatched 8 male Snorlaxes with 5 perfect IVs, and not a single 5 perfect IV female. The females I did hatch tended to have less perfect IVs (generally having at least one of their mother's perfect IVs plus the IV guaranteed to come from the father due to the power item). Whereas, the males usually had 3+ perfect IVs. However, this particular bit of data is unconvincing to me as my sample size for females was quite small due to the fact that I only had around 20% female hatch rate.

:As a secondary hypothesis, I would say that the IVs inherited might influence the personality value of the baby. In other words, this might not only influence gender, but everything influenced by the personality value, such as ability, nature, shininess and Wurmple's evolution. I have only tested this in Omega Ruby, so it may be a new mechanic to ORAS. I'll also mention that the mother was holding a Destiny Knot in each case and both parents had the same OT in what I tested if anyone was interested. I wonder if anyone else has come across similar results, and I will probably do some further testing to see what I can find.

::Snorlax is 87.5% male, 12.5% female; your data actually has slightly more females than you would expect.

== Receive an Egg, go inside, find there is another waiting outside ==

I'm not sure if this is a glitch or what, but sometimes I will receive an egg from the daycare man, go inside and deposit it, come back out and there he is with another egg. Sometimes I don't even go to the PC, sometimes I try to withdraw the parents so no more eggs are found, only to get told by the daycare lady that her husband was looking for me and outside he has another egg. Is this normal, a glitch or something new? [[User:Yamitora1|Yamitora1]] ([[User talk:Yamitora1|talk]]) 18:19, 20 March 2014 (UTC)
:This has pretty much always happened, so I doubt it's a glitch. --[[User:Funktastic~!|'''It's''' '''Funktastic~!''']][[User talk:Funktastic~!|''話してください'']] 18:25, 20 March 2014 (UTC)

== Gen VI first Egg deterministic? ==

I bred the same pair of Wurmple 10+ times in XY (both from the same/another (ORAS) player, both newly caught in ORAS). I'd grab a couple Eggs, hatch them, and then evolve them (to see if they became Cascoon or Silcoon), then reset afterwards to before I left the Wurmple at the Day Care. And for a while I noticed that the first Egg seemed to always be Cascoon (when both of the parents could evolve into Cascoon; but this may be coincidence), and when I started paying attention, I noticed that in 10 resets, all 10 times, the first Egg hatched into a female/Careful/Mischievous/Cascoon-evolution Wurmple (and the last 6 times, I also noted the stats at lv8, and they were the same). Their second Egg was apparently random.

This raises a number of questions.
* Is this new to Gen VI?
* Is this at all variable? I.e., maybe there's a random factor, but maybe it only randomizes when a new day starts.
* Is it reliant on a "fresh" pair of Pokemon, or at least one "fresh" Pokemon? I.e., if one (or if both) have bred before, will the first Egg when they are left at the Day Care be random? Or is the logic that, ''any time'' two Pokemon are left at the Day Care, the first Egg will always be set and only the second and later Eggs will actually be random?
I may not have the patience/time to get to these questions, but I wanted to put this out here for someone to look into maybe. [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 04:02, 15 February 2015 (UTC)
:Seems to me the first egg might have been produced before you saved, so when you reset it you just got the same egg over and over [[User:Litwick96|Litwick96]] ([[User talk:Litwick96|talk]]) 04:45, 15 February 2015 (UTC)
::I think one of us isn't understanding something (and I'm open to it being either of us, really)... At the point where I saved, I had no Pokemon deposited in the Day Care. And after I deposited both Wurmple, it still took random amounts of time for me to receive an Egg. Were you thinking that I had actually saved with Pokemon in the Day Care, or did you mean something else?

== event moves ==

I couldn't find this on the article, but do event moves pass down. like for example an endeavor pikachu from the Pikachu cup, can it pass down endeavor? [[User:Yamitora1|Yamitora1]] ([[User talk:Yamitora1|talk]]) 17:31, 3 September 2015 (UTC)
:A Pokémon can only pass down level-up moves, TM/HM moves (in Gen II-V), Tutor moves (in Crystal), and Egg Moves for that specific species. Some Pokémon (Snorlax and Dratini) have moves that can only be bred from event Pokémon in the first place, but you cannot pass down moves unless the Pokémon's species specifically allows it.
:Since Pichu does not have Endeavor as an Egg Move or level-up move, it is not possible for the Pikachu Cup Pikachu to pass down Endeavor. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 01:46, 4 September 2015 (UTC)

== New breeding technique possible? ==

I read somewhere (I don't remember where) that the PID for an egg in [[Generation VI]] is determined after the previous egg is picked up. If this is indeed the case, then IV passing techniques (like the Destiny Knot) probably don't apply for the current egg, but rather the next one (since the PID and therefore IVs have already been determined) -- if you breed a 31/31/31/31/31/31 IV spread with a Destiny Knot, the first offspring might not have any perfect IVs, but the one following it will have at least 5 of them perfect, even if the parents are different. Theoretically, this would allow breeding up any breedable Pokémon with almost perfect IVs (at least a 1/32 chance) by alternating between a "perfect pair" (which will pass down 5 perfect IVs) and a "desired pair" (which will determine species, egg moves, ball, etc.). I don't have much capacity to really test this theory at this time (nothing close to 5 perfect IVs right now, let alone the best of 6), but if someone can validate it, it should probably be described on the page. I'll continue to look for a citation for the initial statement. [[User:TruePikachu|--TruePikachu]] ([[User talk:TruePikachu|talk]]) 00:08, 25 November 2015 (UTC)
:Beaten to the punch. A similar (and slightly better) technique is described on [http://www.azurilland.com/forums/pokemon-6th-generation/pokemon-x-y/454281-6th-gen-rng-egg-abuse-found-by-japanese-community Azurilland] and confirmed by Smogon (according to the linked thread).

== Destiny Knot Clarification ==

Are the extra IVs passed down unaffected by which parent holds the Destiny Knot? Like, if I have a 5IV Pokémon and a 0IV Pokémon, the 0IV one could hold it and the offspring will have the same chance of inheriting the perfect IVs? If so, I feel that the article could stand to be slightly clearer (like ", regardless of which parent holds it," or something), because that would have saved me a lot of time in the process of breeding my Naive Froakie. -- [[User:EnosShayrem|EnosShayrem]][[User_talk:EnosShayrem|talk]] 02:37, 11 October 2016 (UTC)

== Inheriting pokeball effects ==

Do pokeball effects on inherited balls carry down?

e.g. two parents with friend balls, the hatched pokemon starts with the friend ball effect of increased friendship.

[[User:Kubi|Kubi]] ([[User talk:Kubi|talk]]) 02:57, 4 December 2016 (UTC)

So I don't think so.

Bred a Pichu and Rilou egg, Pichu in a friend ball (for potential 200 base friendship) and Rilou not (for standard 70 friendship), and both of them hit their friendship evolutions in the low 20's.

Both parent's bred with the same Ditto, leveled via exp share, and no berries were used.

[[User:Kubi|Kubi]] ([[User talk:Kubi|talk]]) 17:10, 13 December 2016 (UTC)

== new section - Inheriting Forms? ==

Is it now time to add a section on inheriting forms for the breeding mechanics of pokemon like deerling, oricorio, burmy etc? Most of the time the pokemon inherits the form of the mother/non-ditto parent, but there's a few exceptions like vivillon, gen v deerling/sawsbuck and kantonian form pokemon bred in alola without everstone. Most of this is on other pages already, but I think it makes sense for it to be here too. [[User:Jmvb|JMVB - I don't what to put here.]] ([[User talk:Jmvb|talk]]) 12:19, 14 December 2016 (UTC)

==Genderless Ability Inheritance Odds==

While I was breeding a Porygon with download with a ditto I noticed a distinct lack of trace offsprings. After ~30 eggs I only received one trace Porygon. Needless to say this is far less then the normal 60% chance that the female normally has. Am I just really unlucky?

'''Liquid Ooze''' (Japanese: '''ヘドロえき''' ''Oozing Liquid'') is an [[Ability]] introduced in [[Generation III]]. All {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that have this Ability are {{t|Poison}} types.

==Effect==
===In battle===
Liquid Ooze causes {{cat|HP-draining moves}} to cause injury. If a Pokémon with Liquid Ooze is hit by an HP-draining move such as {{m|Giga Drain}} or {{m|Leech Life}}, or takes damage from the effect of {{m|Leech Seed}}, the amount of HP that would be recovered by the opponent is dealt as damage instead. The damage dealt by the move is not affected. If the user of the HP-draining move is holding a {{DL|In-battle effect item|Big Root}} the damage dealt to themselves is increased by 30%. Prior to [[Generation V]], {{m|Dream Eater}} is not affected by this Ability.

Even if the user of the HP-draining move cannot heal from its effect due to having full HP or the effect of {{m|Heal Block}}, it will still take damage.

'''Metagross''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''メタグロス''' ''Metagross'') is a dual-type {{2t|Steel|Psychic}} [[pseudo-legendary Pokémon]] introduced in [[Generation III]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Metang}} starting at [[level]] 45. It is the final form of {{p|Beldum}}. It can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into '''Mega Metagross''' using the {{DL|Mega Stone|Metagrossite}}.

==Biology==
Metagross is a robotic Pokémon with a turquoise, disc-shaped body and four legs. The main body appears to serve as both head and body, and this Pokémon's overall construction gives it the appearance of a mechanized arachnid. It uses its heavy body to pin down its prey before consuming them with its large mouth. A large, metallic cross is situated in the center of its face. On either side of the cross, a red eye peers out from a space in Metagross's metallic armor. Its four legs are joined to the main body by ball-and-socket joints. While the upper portion of the legs is relatively thin, they are considerably thicker below the knee. Each leg has three short claws on the end and a flat, blunt protrusion extending over the knee. The legs can be tucked in, allowing Metagross to float in the air.

As Mega Metagross, it constantly floats, and its legs become arms. The cross on its face turns pale gold, and it gains two small holes and a spike immediately below the cross, giving the impression of a goatee. Its multiple brains process information simultaneously, enabling it to calmly assess the tide of a battle and defeat its opponent with accuracy. Mega Metagross also uses the psychic power inside its body to launch powerful attacks. Its claws are hard as steel and can easily smash even large chunks of rocks. When it Mega Evolves, Metagross becomes a ruthless Pokémon that will use any means to win in battle.

Metagross is the result of two {{p|Metang}} fusing together. This gives Metagross four brains in total, all connected by a complex network of neurons. Because of these complex connections and the number of brains, this Pokémon is capable of complex calculations and is more intelligent than a supercomputer. It uses its intelligence to analyze its opponents during battle. This Pokémon can be found on {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Rough-terrain Pokémon|rough terrains}}.

===Major appearances===
====[[Steven's Metagross]]====
A {{Shiny}} Metagross that can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into Mega Metagross first appeared in ''[[SS031|Mega Evolution Special II]]'' under the control of {{Steven}}.

====Other====
Metagross was first seen in ''[[M07|Destiny Deoxys]]'' under the ownership of {{OBP|Rebecca|M07}}.

Metagross's anime debut was in ''[[AG125|Like a Meowth to a Flame]]'' as one of {{ho|Tyson}}'s Pokémon.

{{FB|Salon Maiden|Anabel}}'s Metagross was seen in ''[[AG169|Talking a Good Game!]]'' and ''[[AG170|Second Time's the Charm!]]''.

A Metagross also appeared in ''[[DP051|Glory Blaze!]]'' belonging to a {{OBP|Psychic|Trainer class}}.

A wild Shiny Metagross appeared in ''[[DP117|Noodles! Roamin' Off!]]'' where it attacked {{TRT}}.

A wild Metagross appeared in ''[[DP158|Regaining the Home Advantage!]]'', where it battled non-stop with a {{p|Magnezone}}. These two Pokémon normally battled with each other on a regular basis until their "battle arena" (a deep crater) became filled with water. Since their crater was no longer usable, they took their battle to the streets of a nearby town, and continued fighting, causing much collateral damage.

In ''[[XY127|Analysis Versus Passion!]]'', it was revealed that [[Alain]]'s Metang had evolved into a Metagross. It first appeared on a display screen, but together with his {{TP|Alain|Charizard}} had apparently knocked out the majority of the opponent's team. It later battled [[Ash's Pikachu]] in ''[[XY130|Finals Not for the Faint-Hearted!]]'' and lost.

===Minor appearances===
Another Metagross appeared in ''[[M13|Zoroark: Master of Illusions]]'' under the ownership of a [[Pokémon Baccer World Cup]].

A normal Metagross that can Mega Evolve into Mega Metagross appeared in ''[[SS031|Mega Evolution Special II]]''.

Upon its release from its [[Poké Ball]], it will stay in one place and repeatedly use {{m|Earthquake}}. Anyone caught underneath the Pokémon will be buried into the ground and thus unable to move for a few moments, until Metagross uses its attack and all the hit characters are blasted upwards.

Metagross was featured as one of the Pokémon released from a Poké Ball in the demo of [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]] at Jumpfesta; however, it hovered above the stage before attacking, unlike in the actual game.

====Trophy information====
''"An Iron Leg Pokémon. When two Beldum combine, they evolve into Metang. In the same way, Metagross is the result of two Metang combining. It's said to have the intelligence to match a supercomputer. Though it weighs 1,212.5 pounds, it is somehow able to fold up its legs and float."''

===[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U]]===
[[File:Metagross SSB4.png|thumb|240px|Metagross in Super Smash Bros. for 3DS.]]
Metagross reappears as a Poké Ball summon in these games, working the same as in ''Brawl''.

====Trophy information====
'''NA''': ''A hulking Steel/Psychic Pokémon, Metagross weighs in at around 1,212.5 lb. Even Snorlax isn't that heavy! It uses Earthquake by stomping its powerful legs on the ground, sending nearby fighters flying and burying those who come too close. You'll be safe in the air, so use careful timing to stay that way. ''

'''PAL''': ''A Steel- and Psychic-type Pokémon known as the Iron Leg Pokémon. At 550kg in weight, it's heavier than your average Snorlax. When its Earthquake hits, you'd better hope your far away (or at least in mid-air), because the tremors can launch anybody on the ground. And watch out for its legs! They can stomp you right into the ground! ''

==Trivia==
* Due to the way damage is calculated for {{m|Grass Knot}} and {{m|Low Kick}}, Metagross will take the same amount of damage from these moves with or without its Hidden Ability, {{a|Light Metal}}.
* Mega Metagross has the highest base stat total of all Steel-type Pokémon.
* Metagross's number in the [[List of Pokémon by Hoenn Pokédex number (Generation III)|Hoenn Pokédex]] in Generation III and the [[List of Pokémon by Fiore Browser number|Fiore Browser]] are the same: 192.
* Despite being a genderless species, Metagross is referred to as a male in [[PokéPark Wii: Pikachu's Adventure]].
* Metagross is the only genderless pseudo-legendary Pokémon.
** It is also the only pseudo-legendary not weak to the {{type|Fairy}}.
***It is also the only pseudo-legendary to not share a type with a different pseudo-legendary
===Origin===
Metagross is similar to a {{wp|robot}}. It also appears to be based on a {{wp|super computer}}, given its mechanical structure and sheer intelligence, and a spider. It is also reminiscent of a UFO and a {{wp|Lander (spacecraft)|lander}}.

Metagross may be a combination of ''metal'' and ''cross'' (referring to its facial feature), ''{{wp|gross (unit)|gross}}'' (referring to its weight of 1212 lbs., as a gross is 12×12), or groß ''gross'' (German for ''large'').

Egg Move

2017-01-07T23:02:49Z

BobBot321: /* Breeding */

An '''Egg Move'''<ref>[http://www.pokemon.com/us/strategy/the-details-of-discovering-pokemon-eggs/ The Details of Discovering Pokémon Eggs | Pokemon.com]</ref> (Japanese: '''タマゴわざ''' ''Egg Move'') is a special [[move]] that a {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} is able to inherit through {{pkmn|breeding}} from only one parent. Egg Moves often (but not always) cannot be learned through other ways.

Egg Moves are one of several ways of inheriting moves from parents. Prior to Generation VI, a bred Pokémon will inherit any [[TM]]/[[HM]] moves which its father knows, if it is compatible with that TM/HM. In Pokémon Crystal, a bred Pokémon will inherit any compatible [[Move Tutor]] moves which its father knows. Additionally, if both parents know a move that the bred Pokémon can learn via level-up, it will inherit that move. From {{game|Emerald}} onward, a bred {{p|Pichu}} will know {{m|Volt Tackle}} if either of its parents are holding a [[Light Ball]]. However, inheriting moves in these ways is distinct from inheriting moves as Egg Moves.

==Mechanics==
===Breeding===
If either parent (male Pokémon only prior to Generation VI) knows a move that is an Egg Move for the child's [[Pokémon (species)|species]], that child will be born knowing the move.

For example, if a male {{p|Dragonite}} that knows {{m|Outrage}} is bred with a female {{p|Charizard}} that knows {{m|Flare Blitz}}, the resulting {{p|Charmander}} will know Outrage and Flare Blitz (or only Outrage, prior to Generation VI).

===Obtaining Pokémon with Egg Moves===
In {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, it is also possible to encounter {{DL|DexNav|Hidden Pokémon}} that already know a random Egg Move as their first move. A few special Hidden Pokémon even appear on {{rt|102|Hoenn}} in fixed areas, and these particular Pokémon always have a particular Egg Move for their first move.

In {{g|Sun and Moon}}, Pokémon obtained via {{DL|Rotom Pokédex|Island Scan}} will know a certain move they would normally only know as an Egg Move. The exceptions, {{p|Klink}} and {{p|Eelektross}}, do not have any accessible Egg Moves.

===Relearning Egg Moves===
In Generation VI, if a Pokémon has a move it learned as an Egg Move in Generation VI and forgets it, it can be taught to the Pokémon again at the [[Move Reminder]]. Forgotten Egg Moves will be listed at the top of the list of moves that can be relearned, above the Pokémon's forgotten level-up moves.

==Quirks==
===Mutually-exclusive Egg Moves===
Prior to [[Generation VI]], Egg Moves can only be inherited from the father Pokémon during breeding, making certain combinations of moves impossible to possess. Starting in Generation VI, this is no longer an issue, due to both parents being able to pass down Egg Moves at the same time.

For example, {{p|Tentacool}} can learn both {{m|Rapid Spin}} and {{m|Mirror Coat}} as Egg Moves, but no Pokémon in the {{egg|Water 3}} [[Egg Group]] can possess both moves at the same time in any game prior to Generation VI, so it is impossible for Tentacool to inherit both moves together. However, starting in Generation VI, both parents are able to pass down Egg Moves at the same time, making it possible for a Tentacool to inherit these moves if each of its parents knows one of the moves.

===Chain breeding===
{{main|Chain breeding}}
In some cases, a Pokémon species has an Egg Move, but other Pokémon in its Egg Group can also only learn that move as an Egg Move. In such cases, the move must be bred through a series of intermediate Pokémon that are in multiple Egg Groups. This process is referred to by fans as chain breeding.

For example, {{p|Spinda}} can learn {{m|Wish}} as an Egg Move and is in the {{egg|Field}} and {{egg3|Human-Like}}s, but the other Pokémon in those Egg Groups can only learn Wish as an Egg Move. To solve this, a Pokémon like {{p|Skitty}} could learn the move as an Egg Move from {{p|Togetic}}, then breed it onto a Spinda.

==In other games==
===Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time, Darkness and Sky===
In [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon]]: [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Darkness|Explorers of Time, Darkness]] and [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky|Sky]], Pokémon hatched from {{pkmn|Egg}}s will know Egg Moves.

[[File:Sinnoh Route 205 DP.png|thumb|Route 205 in {{2v2|Diamond|Pearl}}]]
'''Route 205''' (Japanese: '''２０５ばんどうろ''' ''Route 205'') is a route in western [[Sinnoh]], connecting [[Eterna City]] and [[Floaroma Town]]. [[Eterna Forest]] lies in the middle of the route, dividing it into two sections. The route also gives access to the [[Valley Windworks]] and [[Fuego Ironworks]].

==Route description==
===Before the Eterna Forest===
Heading south from the [[Eterna Forest]], the route will turn rocky. On the left, there will be a ledge, where the route comes from [[Fuego Ironworks]], while on the right is a pathway up to the northern segment, but it is blocked by a {{m|Cut}} tree. A bit further down is a house containing a lady that will heal the player's Pokémon. After that, there will be two paths to choose from. One is to continue going up on the hillside, or the other is to go down the stairs and continue along the path. The right path is not reachable when going up the route, due to a series of ledges going down the hill face. The right path is an easy walk down, where there are few Trainers and a patch of [[soft soil]]. The left path is more complex, with a large patch of [[tall grass]], and several Trainers ready for battle. Going further south on the left side, there will be a small bridge reaching the end of the hilly section. There will be large patch of grass and a [[Honey|honey tree]] beside a flowing stream that leads north to the Fuego Ironworks, and east to the [[Valley Windworks]]. The route comes further south past a bridge crossing the stream, the route splits into two directions, [[Floaroma Town]] to the left, Valley Windworks to the right. [[Galactic Grunt]]s block access to the route north of the stream until the team is defeated in the Valley Windworks.

After the player has the ability to {{m|Cut}} trees down, a path to the right of the south entrance of the Eterna Forest becomes accessible. This path allows players to completely bypass the large amount of tall grass in the Eterna Forest, and get to the other part of Route 205 more quickly.

===After the Eterna Forest===
[[File:Sinnoh Route 205 Honey tree DP.png|thumb|A Honey tree on Route 205]]
The northern segment of Route 205 is a small area. It starts off from the west, exiting the [[Eterna Forest]], the player has two options of reaching [[Eterna City]]. The first is to go across a bridge across a large pond. There will be three {{tc|Fisherman|Fishermen}} fishing, ready to battle if the player talks to them. The other way of getting across is to go around the pond through a large patch of [[tall grass]]. When the player gets through the tall grass, there is a patch of soft soil where [[Berry|Berries]] can grow. There is also a [[Honey|honey tree]] when the player goes further. By going south, then west again the player will reach Eterna City.

==In the anime==
[[File:Sinnoh Route 205 anime.png|thumb|250px|Route 205 in the anime]]
[[File:Sinnoh Route 205 signpost.png|thumb|left|250px|Route 205 [[signpost]]]]
In the [[Pokémon anime]], Route 205 is a straight path covered in an abundance of flowers. It was featured in ''[[DP150|Unlocking the Red Chain of Events!]]'', in which {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} were seen traversing the route while on their way to [[Daybreak Town]] for {{an|Dawn}}'s next [[Pokémon Contest]].

[[Ash's Pikachu]] and [[Dawn's Piplup]] were walking happily together when they spotted something in the flowers. They went to investigate and found an injured {{MTR}}. After that, {{an|Brock}} used a [[Potion]] to treat Meowth's wounds and applied a bandage on his foreleg. Meowth then explained that he, along with [[Jessie]] and [[James]], saw one of [[Team Galactic]]'s helicopters while wandering about in a [[forest]].

The [[Team Rocket trio|trio]] started following them and, when they arrived on [[Fuego Ironworks]], they saw that [[Looker]] was in trouble and decided to help him out. However, they were unable to do so as [[Jupiter]] commanded a swarm of {{p|Golbat}} to attack them, which resulted in Meowth blasting off alone while Jessie and James got caught.

After hearing this, the group accompanied Meowth to the Fuego Ironworks in order to help Team Rocket and Looker.

==In the manga==
===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
Route 205 was where {{adv|Pearl}} began his solo journey in the {{chap|Diamond & Pearl}}. There, he [[PS383|battled two Wingull]].

==Trivia==
* Route 205 is one of only three routes in the Pokémon world to have five different junctions, the others being {{rt|36|Johto}} in [[Johto]] and {{rt|2|Alola}} in [[Alola]].
* Two Trainers on this route have essentially the same name in English, with only a minor spelling difference: Zackary and Zachary.

Poké Mart

2017-01-02T19:46:17Z

BobBot321: /* Other shops that sell items */

[[File:Poké Mart HGSS.png|frame|Poké Mart in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}]]
[[File:Mart Sketch.jpg|200px|thumb|[[Ken Sugimori]]'s original concept of a Poké Mart]]
A '''Pokémon Mart''' (Japanese: '''フレンドリィショップ''' ''Friendly Shop''), commonly referred to as the '''Poké Mart''', is a convenience store that sells supplies necessary for [[Pokémon training]]. All Poké Marts will sell standard adventure supplies (such as {{stat|HP}} and [[Status condition|status]] restorants and [[Poké Ball]]s), but some stores will also sell special items that are often unique to the store (such as {{ball|Net}}s in [[Blackthorn City]] and {{ball|Quick}}s in [[Lavender Town]]). Much of the merchandise sold at Poké Marts is produced by either [[Silph Co.]] or the [[Devon Corporation]]. Poké Marts will also buy many items from customers, usually at half their normal sale price.

Before [[Generation IV]], each Poké Mart's stock was immutable, and stores further along in the {{player}}'s journey would generally offer more advanced items. Since Generation IV, however, all Poké Marts will upgrade their standard stock when the player gains a new [[Badge]] (or completes a [[island challenge|trial]] in [[Pokémon Sun and Moon]]), so that all stores always sell the same standard items. Also since Generation IV, any Poké Mart that sells specialty items will sell those items at a second register, so that the first register always sells whatever standard adventure supplies are currently unlocked.

Almost all cities, both major and minor, have Poké Marts, the exception being some which have local medicine shops. Notably, the town players start at in each main game usually does not have a Poké Mart. Poké Marts do not seem to be as ubiquitous in the {{pkmn|anime}} as they are in the games.

When the [[Mystery Gift]] function on a game cartridge is used, a delivery person may appear in Poké Marts with gifts for the player. The deliveryperson only appears when a Mystery Gift is received by the cartridge. In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, another deliveryman will deliver a range of items from the player's {{jo|Mom}}, such as [[Potion]]s, [[Berry|Berries]], and battle items like the {{DL|EV-enhancing item|Macho Brace}}, which she buys when the player's savings reach certain points.

As of [[Generation V]], the Poké Mart is not its own separate store, but is instead located inside the [[Pokémon Center]], to the right of the entrance. {{pkmn|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}} are the only exception to this due to them being [[remake]]s.

==Generation I==
[[File:Poké Mart interior RBY.png|thumb|Poké Mart in {{game|Red and Blue|s}}]]
The first Poké Mart in the Generation I games can be found in [[Viridian City]]. When the player enters the Viridian City Poké Mart for the first time, the clerk will ask the player to deliver {{key|I|Oak's Parcel|a package}} to [[Professor Oak]] in [[Pallet Town]]. Until the player does so, the store will not sell [[Poké Ball]]s, and the player will not be able to travel beyond the city due to an {{ka|old man}} who blocks the way.

On {{rt|1|Kanto}}, a man who works at the Poké Mart in Viridian City will give out a free sample of {{DL|Potion|Potion}} to Trainers who chat with him.

==Generation II==
[[File:Poké Mart GSC interior.png|frame|Poké Mart in {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}]]
The first Poké Mart is encountered in [[Cherrygrove City]], where all basic items are available aside from [[Poké Ball]]s, which they will not have in stock until after the player completes the errand to [[Mr. Pokémon]]'s house, fights {{ga|Silver}}, and returns to [[New Bark Town]] to report to [[Professor Elm]].

Every Poké Mart in Generation II has a different appearance, each based on the style used in its hometown, making the most of the transition from the original [[Game Boy]] to the [[Game Boy Color]].

==Generation III==
[[File:Poké Mart interior RS.png|thumb|Poké Mart in {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}]]
[[File:Poké Mart interior E.png|thumb|Poké Mart in {{game|Emerald}}]]
[[File:Poké Mart interior FRLG.png|thumb|Poké Mart in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}]]
In {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}, the Poké Mart is introduced by a salesman in [[Oldale Town]], who directs the player to the local Poké Mart before giving the player a [[Potion]] as a gift. Like in {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}, there is no supply of [[Poké Ball]]s, and they will not be in stock until after the player challenges their [[rival]] on {{rt|103|Hoenn}} and visits [[Professor Birch]] for the second time.

In {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, all situations are the same as in [[Generation I]], with Poké Balls only becoming available in the Viridian City Poké Mart once {{key|III|Oak's Parcel}} is delivered.

A new feature is introduced to Poké Marts in Generation III, the ability to answer surveys inside the Poké Mart. These surveys will allow the activation of [[Mystery Gift]]. To activate the Mystery Gift feature in the Generation III games, players need only to walk up to the clipboard found at any Poké Mart and enter a phrase. The clerk behind the counter will then inform them that the Mystery Gift feature has been activated, and it will be available on the main menu from that point on.

==Generation IV==
[[File:Poké Mart interior Pt.png|thumb|Poké Mart in {{game|Platinum}}]]
[[File:Poké Mart interior HGSS.png|thumb|Poké Mart in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}]]
In {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}, the Poké Mart is introduced by the [[rival]] after taking their tour of [[Sandgem Town]]. Poké Marts expand their stock as the player wins [[Badge|Gym Badges]]. There are two cashiers in this generation: the one on the right sells standard adventure items and is the same in any town, while the one on the left sells goods unique to that location, such as specialty [[Poké Ball]]s or [[mail]]. Unlike in other regions, Poké Balls are available immediately in Sandgem Town.

Whenever the player receives an [[event item|item]] or {{pkmn2|event}} from a Nintendo event, a deliveryman in a green uniform will appear next to the counter to give the player the item.

In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, all Poké Marts are the same as in Generation II. The sales method, however, carries over from Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum. In these games, if the player opted to have their {{jo|Mom}} save some money, an item will occasionally be delivered by a deliveryman in red.

===Stock===
The lower cashier will always sell the same items regardless of which Poké Mart the player is in. The items for sale at any given time are based on the number of Gym [[Badge]]s that the {{player}} has. These items are consistent between the [[Kanto]], [[Johto]], and [[Sinnoh]] regions.

==Generation V==
In {{game|Black and White|s}}, the Poké Mart has been combined with the [[Pokémon Center]]. Like Generation IV, there continue to be two salesmen. If the player receives a [[Mystery Gift]], a man in a blue uniform will be in the Pokémon Center to give the gift to the player.

In [[Pokémon Sun and Moon]], the Poké Mart is once again part of the [[Pokémon Center]]. Each Poké Mart contains one or two clerks.

The [[Po Town]] Pokémon Center contains an area where a Poké Mart would be located, but it is abandoned.

==Other shops that sell items==
===Department Stores===
[[File:Celadon Department Store.png|thumb|Celadon Department Store]]
A Department Store is the largest shop in a region, selling a variety of different items, including items that are not sold in a regular Poké Mart, such as [[TM]]s. Most regions have Department Stores, usually in the region's largest city. Department Stores have several levels, usually selling a different type of item on each level.

===Cianwood City Pharmacy===
{{main|Cianwood City#Cianwood City Pharmacy|Cianwood City → Pharmacy}}
The Cianwood City Pharmacy is a small pharmacy located in [[Cianwood City]], [[Johto]]. It is over 500 years old and it sells a variety of rare goods. The Cianwood City Pharmacy sells remedies exclusive to the town. [[Jasmine]] will ask the player to fetch [[Amphy|her Ampharos]] some [[SecretPotion|medicine]] from there. After giving Jasmine the medicine, players can return to the Pharmacy to find that Potions and Full Heals are in stock.

===Mahogany Town shop===
{{main|Mahogany Town#Shop and hideout|Mahogany Town → Shop}}
Mahogany Town, as a result of its small population, does not have a Poké Mart. Instead, a small convenience store is run which stocks basic supplies for Pokémon Trainers. This shop is secretly a cover for a [[Team Rocket]] operation at the [[Lake of Rage]]; a [[Team Rocket HQ|secret basement]] is their base of operations. Once they have been defeated, the shop remains simply a shop.

===Mt. Moon Square shop===
{{main|Mt. Moon Square#Shop|Mt. Moon Square → Shop}}
There is a shop in [[Mt. Moon Square]] that is only open from 10:00AM until 5:59PM.

===Two Island Market stall===
{{main|Two Island (town)#Market Stall|Two Island → Market Stall}}
{{OBP|Two Island|town}}, rather than having a Poké Mart, has a market stall that sells special items. Similar to the Poké Marts in {{3v2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}, the variety of items increases with each advancement into the story. After beating the [[Kanto Elite Four]], certain items originating in Johto and Hoenn are available. Notably, the stall is mentioned as selling [[Rage Candy Bar]]s, though they are never in stock in-game.

===Lavaridge Town Herb Shop===
{{main|Lavaridge Town#Pokémon Herb Shop|Lavaridge Town → Herb Shop}}
In the southern part of the town, there is an [[Herb Shop]] that sells {{DL|Herbal medicine|Heal Powder}}, {{DL|Herbal medicine|EnergyPowder}}, {{DL|Herbal medicine|Energy Root}}s, and {{DL|Herbal medicine|Revival Herb}}s.

===Celestic Town Shop===
{{main|Celestic Town#Shop|Celestic Town → Shop}}
In [[Celestic Town]], there is no Poké Mart, so an elderly couple runs a shop out of their house. A man standing in the shop gives away three pairs of glasses to the {{player}} depending on the time of day. He gives away {{DL|In-battle effect item|Choice Specs}} in the morning, {{DL|Type-enhancing item|BlackGlasses}} during the day, and {{DL|In-battle effect item|Wise Glasses}} at night.

===Safari Zone Gate stalls===
{{main|Safari Zone Gate#Shops|Safari Zone Gate → Shops}}
There are two stalls at the [[Safari Zone Gate]], one selling [[Poké Ball]]s, the other [[vitamin]]s.

===Eterna City Herb Shop===
{{main|Eterna City#Herb Shop|Eterna City → Herb Shop}}
In the far east near the Pokémon statue in [[Eterna City]], there is a lady who sells {{DL|Herbal medicine|Heal Powder}}, {{DL|Herbal medicine|EnergyPowder}}, {{DL|Herbal medicine|Energy Root}}s, and {{DL|Herbal medicine|Revival Herb}}s.

===Aquacorde Town shops===
{{main|Aquacorde Town#Places of interest|Aquacorde Town → Shops}}
In [[Aquacorde Town]], unlike in most other cities or towns with shopping opportunities, the purchasable items are scattered to specialized shops that sell only one type of product.

===Thrifty Megamart===
In addition to the Poké Mart, [[Royal Avenue]] also has the Thrifty Megamart where the player can buy a few items at half price using a discount coupon.

==Shops in spin-off games==
===Kecleon Shop===
{{main|Kecleon Shop}}
[[File:Kecleon Shop PMD1.png|thumb|200px|The Kecleon Shop in Pokémon Square]]
In the Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team|Red and Blue Rescue Team]], [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness|Explorers of Time, Darkness]], [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky|Sky]] and [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Gates to Infinity|Gates to Infinity]] there are no Poké Marts, as it takes place in an alternate [[Pokémon world (Mystery Dungeon)|world]]. Instead two {{p|Kecleon}} run [[Kecleon Shop|their own shop]] based in [[Pokémon Square]], [[Treasure Town]], and local dungeons, but in Gates to Infinity in {{pkmn|Paradise}} there is only one Kecleon. These shops have the same basic purpose as a Poké Mart, selling common items, as well as selling [[Wonder Orb]]s and other items that can be held in the {{player}}'s [[Toolbox]] or [[Treasure Bag]]. The Kecleon shop is run by two Kecleon brothers. The younger sells items like {{OBP|food|Mystery Dungeon}} and [[toss items]] and the older sells Wonder Orbs and [[TM]]s.

Kecleon Shops can also be found in dungeons. The shop is made up of a number of carpeted tiles on the floor in certain dungeons. These tiles have items on them. Invariably, a Kecleon will be standing on one of these tiles. When the player steps on a carpeted tile, the music changes and the player is greeted by the Kecleon. To buy an item, the player must pick it up and talk to the Kecleon to pay for them. To sell items, the player simply places them on empty shop tiles, and then receives the money from the Kecleon. Occasionally, these shops sell rare items that are not available from the Kecleon Shop in Pokémon Square or Treasure Town. If the player picks up an item from the shop and leaves the carpeted area, {{p|Kecleon}} will warp to the player's side, and demand payment. If the player refuses to pay, or tries to pay but has insufficient funds, Kecleon will label the {{player}} as a thief and begin to attack, as well as causing multiple high-speed Kecleon to appear on that floor to attack the player until they leave that floor; the {{DL|Wonder Orb|Escape Orb}} cannot be used on a floor if the player has been labelled a thief. The player will also be labelled a thief if they use a {{DL|Wonder Orb|Trawl Orb}} to remove items from the store. Defeating a Kecleon that is attacking the player due to being labelled as a thief is the only way to recruit Kecleon (except in Gates to Infinity, in which Kecleon cannot be recruited).

===Shops in Orre===
{{incomplete|section|Exterior images, locations}}
In {{g|Colosseum}} and {{XD}}, throughout [[Orre]], many Poké Marts can be found. However, in Colosseum, none of these Poké Marts sell [[Poké Ball]]s. The only place they are available in this game is the [[Outskirt Stand]], where most variations of Poké Ball from [[Generation III]] are sold.

In Pokémon XD, [[Agate Village]] and [[Pyrite Town]]'s Poké Marts sell Poké Balls and Great Balls, while [[Phenac City]] and [[Gateon Port]]'s Poké Marts sell Poké Balls, Great Balls, and Ultra Balls.

==In the anime==
[[File:Poké Mart anime.png|thumb|240px|A Poké Mart in the anime]]
Poké Marts in the anime work the same as the ones in the games, where {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} buy [[item]]s for their Pokémon or sometimes [[Seal]]s through the {{series|Diamond & Pearl}}. What is different from the games is that some stores contain phones with which to call people, most commonly {{an|Professor Oak}}. In the {{series|Best Wishes}}, although Poké Marts are now part of the [[Pokémon Center]] in the games, it has been shown that Poké Marts still exist separately in the anime.

==Trivia==
* In [[Generation III]], the poster behind the Poké Mart clerk's desk says "It's an advertising poster about all kinds of products."
* There are leftover door tiles for the Poké Marts in Hoenn.
* Unique background music for Poké Marts wasn't introduced until [[Generation III]]. In [[Generation I]] and {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, they instead shared their background music with [[Pokémon Center]]s, while in [[Generation II]], they shared it with whichever city or town that the {{player}} was in.
** In [[Generation V]] and [[Pokémon X and Y]], the theme isn't heard in Poké Marts due to them being merged with Pokémon Centers, but a remixed version is used in [[Shopping Mall Nine]] in Generation V, and the shops of [[Aquacorde Town]] and [[Lumiose City]] in [[Pokémon X and Y]]
** The theme for the Poké Marts in [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire]] was used as the Nintendo eShop background music following the games' release in Europe.
* While English-language versions of Pokémon have signs on the front saying "Mart", many non-English versions have the English word "Shop" instead.

Poké Mart

2017-01-02T17:52:32Z

BobBot321: /* Generation III */

[[File:Poké Mart HGSS.png|frame|Poké Mart in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}]]
[[File:Mart Sketch.jpg|200px|thumb|[[Ken Sugimori]]'s original concept of a Poké Mart]]
A '''Pokémon Mart''' (Japanese: '''フレンドリィショップ''' ''Friendly Shop''), commonly referred to as the '''Poké Mart''', is a convenience store that sells supplies necessary for [[Pokémon training]]. All Poké Marts will sell standard adventure supplies (such as {{stat|HP}} and [[Status condition|status]] restorants and [[Poké Ball]]s), but some stores will also sell special items that are often unique to the store (such as {{ball|Net}}s in [[Blackthorn City]] and {{ball|Quick}}s in [[Lavender Town]]). Much of the merchandise sold at Poké Marts is produced by either [[Silph Co.]] or the [[Devon Corporation]]. Poké Marts will also buy many items from customers, usually at half their normal sale price.

Before [[Generation IV]], each Poké Mart's stock was immutable, and stores further along in the {{player}}'s journey would generally offer more advanced items. Since Generation IV, however, all Poké Marts will upgrade their standard stock when the player gains a new [[Badge]] (or completes a [[island challenge|trial]] in [[Pokémon Sun and Moon]]), so that all stores always sell the same standard items. Also since Generation IV, any Poké Mart that sells specialty items will sell those items at a second register, so that the first register always sells whatever standard adventure supplies are currently unlocked.

Almost all cities, both major and minor, have Poké Marts, the exception being some which have local medicine shops. Notably, the town players start at in each main game usually does not have a Poké Mart. Poké Marts do not seem to be as ubiquitous in the {{pkmn|anime}} as they are in the games.

When the [[Mystery Gift]] function on a game cartridge is used, a delivery person may appear in Poké Marts with gifts for the player. The deliveryperson only appears when a Mystery Gift is received by the cartridge. In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, another deliveryman will deliver a range of items from the player's {{jo|Mom}}, such as [[Potion]]s, [[Berry|Berries]], and battle items like the {{DL|EV-enhancing item|Macho Brace}}, which she buys when the player's savings reach certain points.

As of [[Generation V]], the Poké Mart is not its own separate store, but is instead located inside the [[Pokémon Center]], to the right of the entrance. {{pkmn|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}} are the only exception to this due to them being [[remake]]s.

==Generation I==
[[File:Poké Mart interior RBY.png|thumb|Poké Mart in {{game|Red and Blue|s}}]]
The first Poké Mart in the Generation I games can be found in [[Viridian City]]. When the player enters the Viridian City Poké Mart for the first time, the clerk will ask the player to deliver {{key|I|Oak's Parcel|a package}} to [[Professor Oak]] in [[Pallet Town]]. Until the player does so, the store will not sell [[Poké Ball]]s, and the player will not be able to travel beyond the city due to an {{ka|old man}} who blocks the way.

On {{rt|1|Kanto}}, a man who works at the Poké Mart in Viridian City will give out a free sample of {{DL|Potion|Potion}} to Trainers who chat with him.

==Generation II==
[[File:Poké Mart GSC interior.png|frame|Poké Mart in {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}]]
The first Poké Mart is encountered in [[Cherrygrove City]], where all basic items are available aside from [[Poké Ball]]s, which they will not have in stock until after the player completes the errand to [[Mr. Pokémon]]'s house, fights {{ga|Silver}}, and returns to [[New Bark Town]] to report to [[Professor Elm]].

Every Poké Mart in Generation II has a different appearance, each based on the style used in its hometown, making the most of the transition from the original [[Game Boy]] to the [[Game Boy Color]].

==Generation III==
[[File:Poké Mart interior RS.png|thumb|Poké Mart in {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}]]
[[File:Poké Mart interior E.png|thumb|Poké Mart in {{game|Emerald}}]]
[[File:Poké Mart interior FRLG.png|thumb|Poké Mart in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}]]
In {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}, the Poké Mart is introduced by a salesman in [[Oldale Town]], who directs the player to the local Poké Mart before giving the player a [[Potion]] as a gift. Like in {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}, there is no supply of [[Poké Ball]]s, and they will not be in stock until after the player challenges their [[rival]] on {{rt|103|Hoenn}} and visits [[Professor Birch]] for the second time.

In {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, all situations are the same as in [[Generation I]], with Poké Balls only becoming available in the Viridian City Poké Mart once {{key|III|Oak's Parcel}} is delivered.

A new feature is introduced to Poké Marts in Generation III, the ability to answer surveys inside the Poké Mart. These surveys will allow the activation of [[Mystery Gift]]. To activate the Mystery Gift feature in the Generation III games, players need only to walk up to the clipboard found at any Poké Mart and enter a phrase. The clerk behind the counter will then inform them that the Mystery Gift feature has been activated, and it will be available on the main menu from that point on.

==Generation IV==
[[File:Poké Mart interior Pt.png|thumb|Poké Mart in {{game|Platinum}}]]
[[File:Poké Mart interior HGSS.png|thumb|Poké Mart in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}]]
In {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}, the Poké Mart is introduced by the [[rival]] after taking their tour of [[Sandgem Town]]. Poké Marts expand their stock as the player wins [[Badge|Gym Badges]]. There are two cashiers in this generation: the one on the right sells standard adventure items and is the same in any town, while the one on the left sells goods unique to that location, such as specialty [[Poké Ball]]s or [[mail]]. Unlike in other regions, Poké Balls are available immediately in Sandgem Town.

Whenever the player receives an [[event item|item]] or {{pkmn2|event}} from a Nintendo event, a deliveryman in a green uniform will appear next to the counter to give the player the item.

In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, all Poké Marts are the same as in Generation II. The sales method, however, carries over from Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum. In these games, if the player opted to have their {{jo|Mom}} save some money, an item will occasionally be delivered by a deliveryman in red.

==Other shops that sell items==
===Department Stores===
[[File:Celadon Department Store.png|thumb|Celadon Department Store]]
A Department Store is the largest shop in a region, selling a variety of different items, including items that are not sold in a regular Poké Mart, such as [[TM]]s. Most regions have Department Stores, usually in the region's largest city. Department Stores have several levels, usually selling a different type of item on each level.

===Cianwood City Pharmacy===
{{main|Cianwood City#Cianwood City Pharmacy|Cianwood City → Pharmacy}}
The Cianwood City Pharmacy is a small pharmacy located in [[Cianwood City]], [[Johto]]. It is over 500 years old and it sells a variety of rare goods. The Cianwood City Pharmacy sells remedies exclusive to the town. [[Jasmine]] will ask the player to fetch [[Amphy|her Ampharos]] some [[SecretPotion|medicine]] from there. After giving Jasmine the medicine, players can return to the Pharmacy to find that Potions and Full Heals are in stock.

===Mahogany Town shop===
{{main|Mahogany Town#Shop and hideout|Mahogany Town → Shop}}
Mahogany Town, as a result of its small population, does not have a Poké Mart. Instead, a small convenience store is run which stocks basic supplies for Pokémon Trainers. This shop is secretly a cover for a [[Team Rocket]] operation at the [[Lake of Rage]]; a [[Team Rocket HQ|secret basement]] is their base of operations. Once they have been defeated, the shop remains simply a shop.

===Mt. Moon Square shop===
{{main|Mt. Moon Square#Shop|Mt. Moon Square → Shop}}
There is a shop in [[Mt. Moon Square]] that is only open from 10:00AM until 5:59PM.

===Two Island Market stall===
{{main|Two Island (town)#Market Stall|Two Island → Market Stall}}
{{OBP|Two Island|town}}, rather than having a Poké Mart, has a market stall that sells special items. Similar to the Poké Marts in {{3v2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}, the variety of items increases with each advancement into the story. After beating the [[Kanto Elite Four]], certain items originating in Johto and Hoenn are available. Notably, the stall is mentioned as selling [[Rage Candy Bar]]s, though they are never in stock in-game.

===Lavaridge Town Herb Shop===
{{main|Lavaridge Town#Pokémon Herb Shop|Lavaridge Town → Herb Shop}}
In the southern part of the town, there is an [[Herb Shop]] that sells {{DL|Herbal medicine|Heal Powder}}, {{DL|Herbal medicine|EnergyPowder}}, {{DL|Herbal medicine|Energy Root}}s, and {{DL|Herbal medicine|Revival Herb}}s.

===Celestic Town Shop===
{{main|Celestic Town#Shop|Celestic Town → Shop}}
In [[Celestic Town]], there is no Poké Mart, so an elderly couple runs a shop out of their house. A man standing in the shop gives away three pairs of glasses to the {{player}} depending on the time of day. He gives away {{DL|In-battle effect item|Choice Specs}} in the morning, {{DL|Type-enhancing item|BlackGlasses}} during the day, and {{DL|In-battle effect item|Wise Glasses}} at night.

===Safari Zone Gate stalls===
{{main|Safari Zone Gate#Shops|Safari Zone Gate → Shops}}
There are two stalls at the [[Safari Zone Gate]], one selling [[Poké Ball]]s, the other [[vitamin]]s.

===Eterna City Herb Shop===
{{main|Eterna City#Herb Shop|Eterna City → Herb Shop}}
In the far east near the Pokémon statue in [[Eterna City]], there is a lady who sells {{DL|Herbal medicine|Heal Powder}}, {{DL|Herbal medicine|EnergyPowder}}, {{DL|Herbal medicine|Energy Root}}s, and {{DL|Herbal medicine|Revival Herb}}s.

===Aquacorde Town shops===
{{main|Aquacorde Town#Places of interest|Aquacorde Town → Shops}}
In [[Aquacorde Town]], unlike in most other cities or towns with shopping opportunities, the purchasable items are scattered to specialized shops that sell only one type of product.

==Shops in spin-off games==
===Kecleon Shop===
{{main|Kecleon Shop}}
[[File:Kecleon Shop PMD1.png|thumb|200px|The Kecleon Shop in Pokémon Square]]
In the Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team|Red and Blue Rescue Team]], [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness|Explorers of Time, Darkness]], [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky|Sky]] and [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Gates to Infinity|Gates to Infinity]] there are no Poké Marts, as it takes place in an alternate [[Pokémon world (Mystery Dungeon)|world]]. Instead two {{p|Kecleon}} run [[Kecleon Shop|their own shop]] based in [[Pokémon Square]], [[Treasure Town]], and local dungeons, but in Gates to Infinity in {{pkmn|Paradise}} there is only one Kecleon. These shops have the same basic purpose as a Poké Mart, selling common items, as well as selling [[Wonder Orb]]s and other items that can be held in the {{player}}'s [[Toolbox]] or [[Treasure Bag]]. The Kecleon shop is run by two Kecleon brothers. The younger sells items like {{OBP|food|Mystery Dungeon}} and [[toss items]] and the older sells Wonder Orbs and [[TM]]s.

Kecleon Shops can also be found in dungeons. The shop is made up of a number of carpeted tiles on the floor in certain dungeons. These tiles have items on them. Invariably, a Kecleon will be standing on one of these tiles. When the player steps on a carpeted tile, the music changes and the player is greeted by the Kecleon. To buy an item, the player must pick it up and talk to the Kecleon to pay for them. To sell items, the player simply places them on empty shop tiles, and then receives the money from the Kecleon. Occasionally, these shops sell rare items that are not available from the Kecleon Shop in Pokémon Square or Treasure Town. If the player picks up an item from the shop and leaves the carpeted area, {{p|Kecleon}} will warp to the player's side, and demand payment. If the player refuses to pay, or tries to pay but has insufficient funds, Kecleon will label the {{player}} as a thief and begin to attack, as well as causing multiple high-speed Kecleon to appear on that floor to attack the player until they leave that floor; the {{DL|Wonder Orb|Escape Orb}} cannot be used on a floor if the player has been labelled a thief. The player will also be labelled a thief if they use a {{DL|Wonder Orb|Trawl Orb}} to remove items from the store. Defeating a Kecleon that is attacking the player due to being labelled as a thief is the only way to recruit Kecleon (except in Gates to Infinity, in which Kecleon cannot be recruited).

===Shops in Orre===
{{incomplete|section|Exterior images, locations}}
In {{g|Colosseum}} and {{XD}}, throughout [[Orre]], many Poké Marts can be found. However, in Colosseum, none of these Poké Marts sell [[Poké Ball]]s. The only place they are available in this game is the [[Outskirt Stand]], where most variations of Poké Ball from [[Generation III]] are sold.

In Pokémon XD, [[Agate Village]] and [[Pyrite Town]]'s Poké Marts sell Poké Balls and Great Balls, while [[Phenac City]] and [[Gateon Port]]'s Poké Marts sell Poké Balls, Great Balls, and Ultra Balls.

==In the anime==
[[File:Poké Mart anime.png|thumb|240px|A Poké Mart in the anime]]
Poké Marts in the anime work the same as the ones in the games, where {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} buy [[item]]s for their Pokémon or sometimes [[Seal]]s through the {{series|Diamond & Pearl}}. What is different from the games is that some stores contain phones with which to call people, most commonly {{an|Professor Oak}}. In the {{series|Best Wishes}}, although Poké Marts are now part of the [[Pokémon Center]] in the games, it has been shown that Poké Marts still exist separately in the anime.

==Trivia==
* In [[Generation III]], the poster behind the Poké Mart clerk's desk says "It's an advertising poster about all kinds of products."
* There are leftover door tiles for the Poké Marts in Hoenn.
* Unique background music for Poké Marts wasn't introduced until [[Generation III]]. In [[Generation I]] and {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, they instead shared their background music with [[Pokémon Center]]s, while in [[Generation II]], they shared it with whichever city or town that the {{player}} was in.
** In [[Generation V]] and [[Pokémon X and Y]], the theme isn't heard in Poké Marts due to them being merged with Pokémon Centers, but a remixed version is used in [[Shopping Mall Nine]] in Generation V, and the shops of [[Aquacorde Town]] and [[Lumiose City]] in [[Pokémon X and Y]]
** The theme for the Poké Marts in [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire]] was used as the Nintendo eShop background music following the games' release in Europe.
* While English-language versions of Pokémon have signs on the front saying "Mart", many non-English versions have the English word "Shop" instead.

'''Acerola''' (Japanese: '''アセロラ''' ''Acerola'') is the [[Trial Captain]] of {{OBP|Thrifty Megamart|Abandoned Site}}, which is located on [[Ula'ula Island]]. She is also a {{type|Ghost}} {{pkmn|Trainer}} and a member of the [[Alola]] [[Elite Four]].

==In the games==
Acerola is a friendly young girl who is the Captain of the [[Island challenge|trial]] of the [[Thrifty Megamart (Abandoned Site)|Thrifty Megamart's abandoned site]] on [[Ula'ula Island]]. She also frequently visits the [[Aether House]] to play with the children and Pokémon there. Acerola claims to be descended from Alolan royalty.

Acerola first appears in [[Malie City]]'s library, which her father owns, where she helps the {{player}} and [[Lillie]] find a book about Alolan [[Legendary Pokémon]]. Afterwards, she directs the player to their next trial on top of [[Mount Hokulani]].

In her trial, Acerola asks the player to investigate the abandoned site, using their [[Poké Finder]] to take photos of the Ghost-type Pokémon making mischief there. At the end, they must defeat a powerful [[Totem Pokémon]], a {{p|Mimikyu}}.

She later appears as a member of the Alola Elite Four, having taken on the position after [[Island Kahuna]] [[Nanu]] turned it down.

:''"Is this what you’re looking for, Princess?"''
:''"Give it a read!"''
:''"Isn’t it great? My dad’s books are all great!"''
:''"Yeah, it belonged to my dad. I know I don’t look it, but my family used to be pretty much royalty. I had to have all my dad’s books moved here so they didn’t get ruined by the Pokémon. I can tell you lots of other [[Alola myths|old stories]] about [[Alola]], too! You interested?"''
:''"Oh! You’re a trial-goer! You’re just a few steps away from the [[Island challenge|trial]] at [[Mount Hokulani]]! Well, a few steps and a bus ride, that is. You can catch the bus from [[Alola Route 10|Route 10]]."''
:''"She’s just like a real princess, don’t you think? All frilly and sweet smelling..."''

;[[Malie Garden]]
:''"And so is Acerola!"''
:''"<Player>! You made it through [[Sophocles]]’s trial, huh? That’s really great! You can take on the next trial up past [[Alola Route 11|Route 11]]. Through [[Tapu Village]], you know? If you get lost on your way, ask a police officer for directions. They’re here to serve, right?"''
:''"Now, Lillie, you’re coming with me to do some shopping!"''

;[[Aether House]] (first time)
:''"I’m ba-a-ack, everybody! Ha ha ha! Looks like I finished up my shopping spree right on time! You’ve already met everyone?"''
:''"I left her with [[Hapu]]. They should be coming soon. So why don’t we get those trials done first? You did know I’m the [[Trial Captain|captain]], right?"''
:''"My trial takes place at the abandoned site where the supermarket used to be. I’ll wait out front of Aether House to show you the way, if you’d like!"''

;[[Alola Route 15|Route 15]]
:''"Oh! [[Lillie]]! What’s the matter? You look all worn out. Do you want to rest at Aether House awhile?"''
:''"And you, <player>! We can reach my trial site from [[Tapu Village]]. Come on, follow me!"''

;[[Tapu Village]]
:''"The old supermarket where I hold my trial is right down this way. Down Route 14!"''

;[[Alola Route 14|Route 14]]
:''"Here we are! Climb up these steps and my trial begins!"''

;[[ Thrifty Megamart (Abandoned Site)]]
:''"The time has finally come, <player>! So, I guess I should explain what kind of trial this is, huh?"''
:''"This old building is full of lots of {{Type|Ghost}} Pokémon. Did you know? Here’s where the trial part comes in. You’ve got to find the [[Totem Pokémon]] of this site and snap a shot of it with a [[Rotom Pokédex#Poké Finder|Poké Finder]]!"''
:''"The totem is a bit of a trickster, and it likes to play hide-and-seek and mess around. If you take pictures of the other Ghost-type Pokémon inside, it’ll definitely come out to get in on the fun and have its photo taken, too! So, if you see something weird happening inside this old place, try to check it out. I bet you’ll find a Ghost-type Pokémon causing the mischief, so get its photo before it’s gone!"''
:''"I’ll just borrow your Poké Finder for a sec. Hee hee! And your {{p|Rotom}} is a Ghost type, too!"''
:''"We just do this, and... There! I’ve set it up to use a special shooting mode just for this trial. You’ll only be able to use it at this site, though."''
:''"As soon as you enter the building, your trial will begin. Got it? And you can’t catch any of the Pokémon, either. And you can’t leave without giving up, too, so make sure you’re ready for anything!"''

* If the player wants to gives up on the trial
:''"You want to give up on my trial?"''
::'''Yes:''' ''"Got it! Then make sure you’re ready and try again!"''
::'''No''' ''"Got it! Then do your best!"''

* If the player attempts the trial again
:* If the player gives up in the middle of the trial
::''"Hey, <player>! You gave up last time in the middle of my trial, huh?"''
::''"The Ghost types in that old place are pretty tough to take on, huh? Remember that Ghost types are weak to other Ghost types and Dark types, too! I’m sure you’ll make it this time! Don’t give up on my trial yet! I believe in you!"''

:* If the player fails the Totem Pokémon fight
::''"So, <player>! You gave up on my trial last time, huh?"''
::''"{{p|Mimikyu}} is a pretty tough opponent, isn’t it? It’s a Ghost- and {{Type|Fairy}} Pokémon. Did you know? Neither type has a lot of weaknesses, so it’s tricky to beat. You probably want to try Ghost- or {{Type|Steel}} moves against it. I’m sure you’ll beat it this time! Don’t give up on my trial yet! I believe in you!"''

* Upon completing the trial
:''"Welcome back, <player>! I can check your pictures right away. Now let’s see how you did..."''
:''"Yup! That’s Mimikyu all right! It’s pretty hard to catch it on film, so this is a really great attempt! Which means..."''
:''"If you want to use a Ghost-type [[Z-Move|Z-Power]], then you’ve got to move like this!"''
:''"And since you passed my trial, <player>, you now have my permission to catch Pokémon in the trial site. So, in that old building there. Here you go!"''
:''"It’s not a bad idea to have some Ghost-type Pokémon on your team!"''
:''"What’s that? You say the Poké Finder just started up on its own, during your trial? Oooh, cut it out, <player>! You’re trying to scare me, huh? You’ll have to come up with something a bit more believable than that! There’s not even any room in the back of that shop, for starters! How gullible do you think I am?"''

'''Acerola''' (Japanese: '''アセロラ''' ''Acerola'') is the [[Trial Captain]] of {{OBP|Thrifty Megamart|Abandoned Site}}, which is located on [[Ula'ula Island]]. She is also a {{type|Ghost}} {{pkmn|Trainer}} and a member of the [[Alola]] [[Elite Four]].

==In the games==
Acerola is a friendly young girl who is the Captain of the [[Island challenge|trial]] of the [[Thrifty Megamart (Abandoned Site)|Thrifty Megamart's abandoned site]] on [[Ula'ula Island]]. She also frequents the [[Aether House]] to play with the children and Pokémon there. Acerola claims to be descended from Alolan royalty.

Acerola first appears in [[Malie City]]'s library, which her father owns, where she helps the {{player}} and [[Lillie]] find a book about Alolan [[Legendary Pokémon]]. Afterwards, she directs the player to their next trial on top of [[Mount Hokulani]].

In her trial, Acerola asks the player to investigate the abandoned site, using their [[Poké Finder]] to take photos of the Ghost-type Pokémon making mischief there. At the end, they must defeat a powerful [[Totem Pokémon]], a {{p|Mimikyu}}.

She later appears as a member of the Alola Elite Four, having taken on the position after [[Island Kahuna]] [[Nanu]] turned it down.

===Quotes===
;[[Malie City|Malie]] Library
:''"Is this what you’re looking for, Princess?"''
:''"Give it a read!"''
:''"Isn’t it great? My dad’s books are all great!"''
:''"Yeah, it belonged to my dad. I know I don’t look it, but my family used to be pretty much royalty. I had to have all my dad’s books moved here so they didn’t get ruined by the Pokémon. I can tell you lots of other [[Alola myths|old stories]] about [[Alola]], too! You interested?"''
:''"Oh! You’re a trial-goer! You’re just a few steps away from the [[Island challenge|trial]] at [[Mount Hokulani]]! Well, a few steps and a bus ride, that is. You can catch the bus from [[Alola Route 10|Route 10]]."''
:''"She’s just like a real princess, don’t you think? All frilly and sweet smelling..."''

;[[Malie Garden]]
:''"And so is Acerola!"''
:''"<Player>! You made it through [[Sophocles]]’s trial, huh? That’s really great! You can take on the next trial up past [[Alola Route 11|Route 11]]. Through [[Tapu Village]], you know? If you get lost on your way, ask a police officer for directions. They’re here to serve, right?"''
:''"Now, Lillie, you’re coming with me to do some shopping!"''

;[[Aether House]] (first time)
:''"I’m ba-a-ack, everybody! Ha ha ha! Looks like I finished up my shopping spree right on time! You’ve already met everyone?"''
:''"I left her with [[Hapu]]. They should be coming soon. So why don’t we get those trials done first? You did know I’m the [[Trial Captain|captain]], right?"''
:''"My trial takes place at the abandoned site where the supermarket used to be. I’ll wait out front of Aether House to show you the way, if you’d like!"''

;[[Alola Route 15|Route 15]]
:''"Oh! [[Lillie]]! What’s the matter? You look all worn out. Do you want to rest at Aether House awhile?"''
:''"And you, <player>! We can reach my trial site from [[Tapu Village]]. Come on, follow me!"''

;[[Tapu Village]]
:''"The old supermarket where I hold my trial is right down this way. Down Route 14!"''

;[[Alola Route 14|Route 14]]
:''"Here we are! Climb up these steps and my trial begins!"''

;[[ Thrifty Megamart (Abandoned Site)]]
:''"The time has finally come, <player>! So, I guess I should explain what kind of trial this is, huh?"''
:''"This old building is full of lots of {{Type|Ghost}} Pokémon. Did you know? Here’s where the trial part comes in. You’ve got to find the [[Totem Pokémon]] of this site and snap a shot of it with a [[Rotom Pokédex#Poké Finder|Poké Finder]]!"''
:''"The totem is a bit of a trickster, and it likes to play hide-and-seek and mess around. If you take pictures of the other Ghost-type Pokémon inside, it’ll definitely come out to get in on the fun and have its photo taken, too! So, if you see something weird happening inside this old place, try to check it out. I bet you’ll find a Ghost-type Pokémon causing the mischief, so get its photo before it’s gone!"''
:''"I’ll just borrow your Poké Finder for a sec. Hee hee! And your {{p|Rotom}} is a Ghost type, too!"''
:''"We just do this, and... There! I’ve set it up to use a special shooting mode just for this trial. You’ll only be able to use it at this site, though."''
:''"As soon as you enter the building, your trial will begin. Got it? And you can’t catch any of the Pokémon, either. And you can’t leave without giving up, too, so make sure you’re ready for anything!"''

* If the player wants to gives up on the trial
:''"You want to give up on my trial?"''
::'''Yes:''' ''"Got it! Then make sure you’re ready and try again!"''
::'''No''' ''"Got it! Then do your best!"''

* If the player attempts the trial again
:* If the player gives up in the middle of the trial
::''"Hey, <player>! You gave up last time in the middle of my trial, huh?"''
::''"The Ghost types in that old place are pretty tough to take on, huh? Remember that Ghost types are weak to other Ghost types and Dark types, too! I’m sure you’ll make it this time! Don’t give up on my trial yet! I believe in you!"''

:* If the player fails the Totem Pokémon fight
::''"So, <player>! You gave up on my trial last time, huh?"''
::''"{{p|Mimikyu}} is a pretty tough opponent, isn’t it? It’s a Ghost- and {{Type|Fairy}} Pokémon. Did you know? Neither type has a lot of weaknesses, so it’s tricky to beat. You probably want to try Ghost- or {{Type|Steel}} moves against it. I’m sure you’ll beat it this time! Don’t give up on my trial yet! I believe in you!"''

* Upon completing the trial
:''"Welcome back, <player>! I can check your pictures right away. Now let’s see how you did..."''
:''"Yup! That’s Mimikyu all right! It’s pretty hard to catch it on film, so this is a really great attempt! Which means..."''
:''"If you want to use a Ghost-type [[Z-Move|Z-Power]], then you’ve got to move like this!"''
:''"And since you passed my trial, <player>, you now have my permission to catch Pokémon in the trial site. So, in that old building there. Here you go!"''
:''"It’s not a bad idea to have some Ghost-type Pokémon on your team!"''
:''"What’s that? You say the Poké Finder just started up on its own, during your trial? Oooh, cut it out, <player>! You’re trying to scare me, huh? You’ll have to come up with something a bit more believable than that! There’s not even any room in the back of that shop, for starters! How gullible do you think I am?"''
:''"Brrr! I feel like I’m getting chicken skin... Like a chill going through me for some reason..."''
* If spoken to again
:''"That supermarket... It was destroyed by our [[Guardian deities|guardian deity]]. Yup, that was {{p|Tapu Bulu}} all right. This area used to be real important to people, but some folks only thought of making money, so they went and built a store here... Tapu Bulu may be all about growing things, but this place isn’t what it wants to see growing."''

Hyper Training

'''Hyper Training''' (Japanese: '''すごいとっくん''' ''Amazing Intensive Training'') is a method of Pokémon training that allows the player to maximize one or more of a Pokémon's {{IV}}s through intensive training. This feature was introduced in [[Pokémon Sun and Moon]].

Hyper Training is conducted by a man known as [[Mr. Hyper]], who can be found in the [[Hau'oli City#Mall|Hau'oli City shopping mall]] after the player has become the league champion. In exchange for a [[Bottle Cap]], he will train one of the player's Pokémon, so long as it has reached [[level]] 100. A regular Bottle Cap can increase one of a Pokémon's IVs to 31 (the maximum value), while a Gold Bottle Cap will increase all of a Pokémon's IVs to 31.

Rather than actually changing a Pokémon's IVs, Hyper Training sets a modifier for the game to treat that stat as if it had an IV of 31. As a result, it does not affect the type of {{m|Hidden Power}} the Pokémon has and the IVs it can pass down when breeding are those it had when it was generated.

'''Pokémon Platinum Version''' (Japanese: '''ポケットモンスタープラチナ''' ''Pocket Monsters Platinum'') is the third game to {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}, and is the third [[Generation IV]] [[core series]] game.

The game was first seen on May 11, 2008 when a low-resolution cell-phone picture of an upcoming issue of [[CoroCoro]] magazine was leaked around the Internet. On May 15, the magazine was officially released and the game was also officially confirmed by [[Nintendo]]. The game was released in Japan on September 13, 2008, in North America on March 22, 2009, in Australia on May 14, 2009, in Europe on May 22, 2009 and in Korea on July 2, 2009.

Like previous third versions, the region and starting area remain the same as in previously released paired versions; in Platinum, the player begins his or her journey from [[Twinleaf Town]] and travels across all of [[Sinnoh]].

==Blurb==
Another world has emerged in the [[Sinnoh]] region... ...A world where time and space are altered! Catch, train, and battle your favorite Pokémon, and discover ancient, mythical Pokémon in this exciting new adventure!

==Changes from Pokémon Diamond and Pearl==
===Gameplay===
* The Wi-Fi area has been enhanced with the [[Wi-Fi Plaza]], which supports up to 20 people at a time. The new area seems to focus exclusively on mini-games, which include '' Wobbuffet Pop'', where players hit a {{p|Wobbuffet}}, ''Mime Jr. Top'', where players can balance {{p|Mime Jr.}} on a ball and ''Swalot Plop'' where players throw Berries at a {{p|Swalot}} machine.
* There is a new [[Key Item]] called the [[Vs. Recorder]] (given by [[Looker]] when the player first meets him in [[Jubilife City]]), which allows players to record battles in {{gdis|Battle Frontier|IV}} and Wi-Fi, and share the records with other players at the [[Global Terminal]]. Players can also take pictures of their [[PC]] boxes and share them with other players in a similar fashion.
* The [[Global Trade System]] has incorporated an e-mail system that allows players to be notified of completed trades. Notification messages are sent to the player's e-mail account, which can be viewed through the player's PC, mobile phone, or Wii system.
** In non-Japanese versions, however, the system was downgraded to Wii messaging only. Thus, in these versions, notification messages are sent and must be viewed through the Wii's Message Board.
* The Sinnoh starters and their evolutions are now allowed in an expanded [[Amity Square]], making a total of 20 Pokémon allowed in the Square.
* Over local wireless, there is a new feature called ''Spin Trade'' where the player and their friends can put their Pokémon Eggs in and randomly swap. Trainers that obtain Eggs that land on the ''Bonus Area'', the spotted ones, get a Berry too.
* {{HM|05|Defog}} is now located inside the [[Solaceon Ruins]] instead of the [[Great Marsh]].
* The player now receives {{HM|04|Strength}} from [[Riley]] on [[Iron Island]] instead of in the [[Lost Tower]].
* Strength is no longer needed to access [[Wayward Cave]]'s Hidden Area.
* The player can now challenge other Trainers in certain [[Pokémon Center]]s. The Trainer(s) are located in front of the desk. These Trainers change location every day.
* During a {{pkmn|Trainer}} {{pkmn|battle}} when the opponent Trainer is about to send out his (or her) next [[Pokémon]] the message has changed from "Will <the player> change Pokémon?" in all games up to [[Diamond and Pearl]] to "Will you switch your Pokémon?". This was kept in subsequent core series games.
* In addition to the Move Tutors in Diamond and Pearl, three new [[Move Tutor]]s are added, in [[Snowpoint City]], on {{rt|212|Sinnoh}} and in the [[Survival Area]].
* The {{stat|accuracy}} of {{m|Hypnosis}} was [[List of modified moves|changed]] back to 60.
* The game's speed with some features is faster compared to Diamond and Pearl, particularly while {{m|Surf|surfing}} and during {{pkmn|battle}}s. However, the player still walks slower than in [[Generation III]]. The {{wp|Frame rate|frame rate}} of Platinum remains 30 frames per second (FPS).
* Poffins can be made with other players via Wi-Fi.
* A man in the [[Veilstone Game Corner]]'s Prize Exchange House can tell the player the type of {{m|Hidden Power}} their Pokémon has, and a man in the {{Gdis|Battle Tower|IV}} is able to judge the [[Individual values]] of the player Pokémon.
* The price of the [[Accessory|Accessories]] at [[Pick a Peck of Colors Flower Shop]] in [[Floaroma Town]] has been reduced.
* European versions of the game are no longer able to play [[slot machine]]s. These versions of the game replace slot machines with [[Slot machine#European Platinum|game machines]], a machine that simply gives coins to the player with little interactivity. This is the result of changes in the classification standards at {{wp|Pan European Game Information|PEGI}}<ref>[http://www.gamesradar.com/european-pokemon-platinums-missing-game-corner-explained/ European Pokemon Platinum's missing Game Corner explained | GamesRadar]</ref>.
* As in [[Generation II|Generations II]] and III, it is possible to ride a [[Bicycle]] in [[Gate|gatehouses]] separating cities or towns and routes, something that was not possible in Diamond and Pearl.
* When the player uses his or her radar while in [[the Underground]], it takes two seconds before another radar signal can be used. In Diamond and Pearl, it only took one second.
* The Lustrous and Adamant Orbs are no longer found on the [[Spear Pillar]] as in Diamond and Pearl, instead they must be found in a cave somewhere in the snowfields of [[Mt. Coronet]] which requires {{m|Waterfall}}. To be able to catch Dialga and Palkia, the player must have obtained the items in that cave and must have faced Giratina, whether it was caught or not. Then the player can go up [[Mt. Coronet]] to where Giratina took the player and Cyrus in to the [[Distortion World]].
* If a Legendary or Mythical Pokémon is not captured, it will reappear after defeating the [[Elite Four]].
* The level progression of the average opponent's Pokémon has been increased. An example of this is that in Diamond and Pearl, Barry's starter Pokémon in the battle at Pastoria City is at level 28. In Platinum, it is at level 36. Almost every Trainer's roster in the game has had their levels increased by at least one. However, the Elite Four's Pokémon have been lowered by four levels the first time the player faces them.
* In locations where certain unevolved Pokémon can be found (like {{p|Numel}} on [[Sinnoh Route 227|Route 227]] and [[Stark Mountain]]), they are near the levels of the rest of the Pokémon in the area, whereas in Diamond and Pearl they were usually in the high 10s or low 20s.

====Obtainable Pokémon====
* 59 more Pokémon have been added to the [[List of Pokémon by Sinnoh Pokédex number|Sinnoh Pokédex]] to give it a grand total of 210 entries, with all non-Legendary Pokémon introduced in Generation IV now included, along with their pre-evolved forms and several other Pokémon. The added Pokémon, such as {{p|Rotom}} and {{p|Giratina}}, are now available prior to the [[Elite Four]] challenge.
* Giratina has received a new Forme known as the ''Origin Forme'', with its previous Forme named the ''Altered Forme''. Giratina will appear in Origin Forme while in the [[Distortion World]], and in Altered Forme outside. A {{DL|Timespace orbs|Griseous Orb}} is required to transform it to its Origin Forme outside of the Distortion World.
** The [[Ability]] of Origin Forme is {{a|Levitate}} and its [[Stats|base stats]] mirror those of Altered Forme, with the offensive stats switched with their respective defensive stats.
* {{p|Shaymin}}'s new Forme is called ''Sky Forme'' and takes on a canine appearance. Its [[Ability]] is {{a|Serene Grace}} and the Forme is focused on {{stat|Speed}} and {{stat|Special Attack}}. It is able to learn new moves like {{m|Quick Attack}}, {{m|Air Slash}} and {{m|Leaf Storm}}.
** Shaymin is able to change between its two forms via the use of the [[Gracidea]]. Its Sky Forme will revert to Land Forme at [[Time#Times of day|night]], if Shaymin is {{status|Freeze|frozen}}, or when deposited into the [[PC]].
* {{p|Rotom}} has new forms as well. Each of the five forms is a Rotom that has possessed an electrical appliance. Despite having visual characteristics of other types, the five forms share the original Rotom's {{t|Electric}} and {{t|Ghost}} types; however, their [[base stats]] are significantly higher. They also share the original Rotom's Ability of {{a|Levitate}}. The item to unlock these Pokémon in the game, the {{OBP|Secret Key|Generation IV}}, is an event-only item. As these Pokémon are not normally available in this game, they were therefore banned from official tournaments{{fact}} until the release of HeartGold and SoulSilver which allowed Rotom to transform without the requirement of an event-only item.
* {{p|Regirock}}, {{p|Regice}} and {{p|Registeel}} can be caught at level 30 with the help of an event {{p|Regigigas}} that has been distributed in Nintendo events.
* {{p|Regigigas}} is now found at level 1, making it the lowest-[[level]] non-glitch wild Pokémon in any game along with {{p|Magikarp}}, as well as the lowest-level non-glitch Legendary in any game.
* The [[Legendary birds]] can be found as roaming Pokémon after the [[National Pokédex]] is obtained. They roam Sinnoh much like {{p|Mesprit}} and {{p|Cresselia}} do. The player has to talk to [[Professor Oak]] in [[Eterna City]] to trigger their appearance. They are all found at level 60.
* {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Palkia}} appear on the [[Spear Pillar]] one at a time after the player has spoken with Cynthia's grandmother in [[Celestic Town]], and obtained the [[Timespace orbs#Adamant Orb|Adamant]] and {{DL|Timespace orbs|Lustrous Orb}}s in [[Mt. Coronet]].
* [[Cynthia]] now gives the player a [[Pokémon Egg]] containing {{p|Togepi}} after the player has defeated Team Galactic at the [[Team Galactic Eterna Building]], replacing the {{p|Happiny}} Egg previously obtainable in [[Hearthome City]].
* [[Bebe]] now gives the player an {{p|Eevee}} before the player receives the [[National Pokédex]]; Eevee can now be obtained from the first time the player arrives in [[Hearthome City]]. It is at level 20.
* A man in [[Veilstone City]] gives the player a level 25 {{p|Porygon}} as a gift.
* {{p|Manaphy}}, while still uncatchable in-game, is now required to obtain the [[National Pokédex]]. It can be added to the [[List of Pokémon by Sinnoh Pokédex number|Sinnoh Pokédex]] from finding its picture in a book in the {{OBP|Pokémon Mansion|Sinnoh}}.
* Certain Pokémon are obtainable through events- {{p|Shaymin}} in [[Flower Paradise|a secret area near Route 224]], {{p|Darkrai}} and {{p|Cresselia}} through an event in [[Canalave City]].

===Areas===
* Much like the [[Pokémon Emerald Version|third version of the previous generation]], a new {{Gdis|Battle Frontier|IV}} takes the place of the {{si|Battle Park}}. It has the {{Gdis|Battle Tower|IV}}, {{DL|Battle Frontier (Generation IV)|Battle Factory}}, {{DL|Battle Frontier (Generation IV)|Battle Castle}}, {{DL|Battle Frontier (Generation IV)|Battle Arcade}} and {{DL|Battle Frontier (Generation IV)|Battle Hall}} as venues.
* [[Twinleaf Town]] and nearby routes now have snow patches.
** This and other things provide evidence that this version takes place in winter, as opposed to {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s|the previous Sinnoh installments}} which do not have a definite season.
* [[Jubilife City]] has been refurbished with new pathways and some buildings have animated roof lights.
* The [[Global Terminal|Global Trade Station]] in [[Jubilife City]] has been redesigned and now includes a bigger global terminal. It has been renamed as the ''Global Terminal''.
* [[Oreburgh Mine]] now has twin coal transporters starting from the entrance and ending at the entrance to the last section of the mine and are now moving.
* An arch now represents the entrances to [[Floaroma Town]].
* The trees in the [[Eterna Forest]], as well as [[Fullmoon Island]] and [[Newmoon Island]], cast shadows that cover the ground.
* [[Eterna City]] has been refurbished with new foliage and pathways. Also the [[Team Galactic Eterna Building]] has had a complete redesign, inside and out. It now contains a secret room where Rotom can switch between its forms.
* [[Sinnoh Route 206|Cycling Road]] has been redesigned and now has tunnel-like shelters in the middle of the Cycle Route, as well as lights along the sides of it.
* [[Hearthome City]] has been refurbished with new pathways.
* [[Amity Square]] has been completely remodeled. It now includes a small pond, more paths and more upper levels. The old buildings that previously inhabited Amity Square now contain Warp Panels which transport the player to the other old buildings within Amity Square.
* [[Lost Tower]] has had its color scheme changed and now has fog on three of its five floors, which can be cleared by {{HM|05|Defog}}.
* [[Solaceon Town]]'s houses have been remodeled and the [[Pokémon Day Care]] now has a trough filled with water and tent-like shelters.
* [[Veilstone City]] has been refurbished with new pathways. The [[Team Galactic HQ|Galactic Veilstone Building]] has been redesigned, inside and out. The [[Veilstone Department Store]] now has a basement, in which Contest [[poffin]]s can be sold and bought. Berries and Lava Cookies can be bought as well.
* The [[Hotel Grand Lake]] has been refurbished with new pathways.
* [[Pastoria City]]'s houses have been remodeled and now also includes a board with a {{p|Croagunk}} on it which is located in front of the [[Great Marsh]]. Occasionally, if the player stands behind the Croagunk Wall with the player's head sticking out of it, a wild Croagunk will come, but it will just cry and walk into the Great Marsh building.
* The [[Great Marsh]] has had its color scheme changed and has also had foliage changed and added.
* [[Celestic Town]]'s houses have been remodeled.
* [[Canalave City]] has been refurbished with new pathways and its houses and library have also been remodeled.
* The player now needs to use {{HM|08|Rock Climb}} to reach [[Lake Acuity]].
* The area of water to the south of [[Snowpoint City]] where the player can get a boat to the [[Battle Zone]] now contains a small amount of icebergs. These can also be seen in the ocean when the boat is crossing to the Battle Zone. The boat has also been redesigned, most likely due to the icebergs in the sea.
* The back area of [[Spear Pillar]] has been slightly redesigned to allow more room for the [[Creation trio]] when they appear.
* [[Sunyshore City]] has been refurbished with new pathways and its houses have been remodeled.
* The entrance and exit of {{si|Victory Road}} have become wider, having a [[Poké Ball]] at the center of the arch.
* The [[Battle Zone]] is now warmer, and palm trees can be found there.
* [[Stark Mountain]] now has more features evocative of a {{wp|volcano}}, such as crags and pits of lava.
* The {{si|Pokémon Mansion}} is surrounded by golden railings.

===Storyline===
* The story seen on TV at the start of the game is now about [[Professor Rowan]] having just returned from a trip to [[Kanto]].
* The player meets [[Professor Rowan]] and the opposite gender character earlier, and obtains his or her [[starter Pokémon]] on {{rt|201|Sinnoh}}.
** Instead of being attacked by {{p|Starly|wild Pokémon}} at [[Verity Lakefront]], the player and his/her rival are attempting to reach [[Sandgem Town]] through tall grass when the Professor stops them and offers them a starter.
* The first battle is against the player's rival, who, as always, has chosen the starter Pokémon which has a type advantage against the player's.
* The player and the rival now encounter [[Cyrus]] at [[Lake Verity]] at the start of the game. The player can also meet Cyrus at different venues such as the [[Eterna City]] statue.
* Both {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Palkia}} appear on the [[Spear Pillar]]. {{p|Giratina}}, the mascot of Platinum, then phases into [[Pokémon universe|the world]] in front of [[Cyrus]].
* A new area known as the [[Distortion World]] is playable. It has floor-like sections floating at ninety-degree angles from each other, creating an effect similar to the art of {{wp|M. C. Escher}}. It disobeys the {{wp|laws of physics}}, making things like {{m|Surf}}ing down a waterfall going up possible. The camera angle switches between perspective and isometric views to suit the angle of the player. It also has moving platforms with jumpable gaps between them. Giratina, when here, will be in its Origin Forme and is also the only wild Pokémon located here.
* Two new characters to the main storyline were added. One is [[Charon]], a professor and Commander of [[Team Galactic]], and the other is a police officer spying on Team Galactic, using the codename "[[Looker]]".
* A Tag Battle between the player and his or her {{ga|Barry|rival}} against {{EF|Flint}} and [[Volkner]] takes place at the entrance to the {{gdis|Battle Frontier|IV}} when the player first arrives there.
* [[Team Galactic]]'s plans to re-create the world have changed slightly. The layouts of their HQs, such as the one in Eterna, have been changed. Team Galactic now utilizes more resources in order to reach their goal, as well as explaining why, in-game, such as the power from the [[Valley Windworks]], as well as planting a bomb on the [[Great Marsh]] for attention in order to allow more people to realize what they're trying to do. [[Team Galactic]] also has a [[Charon|fourth commander]] who appears throughout the game, but does not take on a significant role until after the main story events.
* Some of the [[Gym Leader]]s have been reordered: [[Fantina]] is now the third Gym Leader, [[Maylene]] is the fourth and [[Crasher Wake]] is the fifth. The appearance of players' Gym Badge case stays the same.
* {{ga|Dawn}}/{{ga|Lucas}} no longer gives the player the {{DL|Pokétch|Dowsing Machine}} or the [[Vs. Seeker]] near the {{rt|206|Sinnoh}} junction; instead he/she meets the player at the entrance to [[Mt. Coronet]].
* [[Team Galactic]] appears in [[Stark Mountain]] under the command of [[Charon]], who seeks to use the destructive power of the volcano to extort money from the people of Sinnoh. The player, with help from [[Buck]], must defeat them. During this event, [[Mars]] and [[Jupiter]] quit Team Galactic because Charon does not share the same ideals as ex-boss [[Cyrus]]. Ultimately, Charon and his two accompanying grunts are apprehended by [[Looker]] and two policemen.
* After the aforementioned event, the player is able to challenge all the [[Gym Leader]]s of Sinnoh to rematches in the [[Battleground]]. The player's [[Stat Trainers|Tag Battle partners]] from throughout the game ([[Cheryl]], [[Buck]], [[Marley]], [[Mira]], and [[Riley]]) are also able to be challenged in this place. Each of the 13 characters has a team of five Pokémon, whose levels are between 61 and 65 (except for [[Maylene]], whose team instead ranges from level 62 to 66).
* The {{si|Elite Four}} increase their Pokémon's levels after the player has completed the [[Stark Mountain]] event. Their levels are now between 65 and 78.
* When one finishes the [[Stark Mountain]] quest, instead of the [[rival]] appearing at the [[Fight Area]] on weekends, he now appears at the [[Survival Area]] in front of the [[Battleground]]. During the first battle, the levels of the Pokémon in his party range from 59-65, second battle 69-75, and third and beyond 79-85. In these last battles, he was the Trainer with the highest-leveled Pokémon in all core series games, until {{ga|Red}}'s remade team in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}.
* When first visiting the [[Resort Area]], the player receives a [[Villa]]. Inside on a table is a catalog that lists items that can be purchased to furnish the house in the same manner as decorating a secret base. The player will be visited by NPCs such as the Sinnoh Gym Leaders, the player's [[mother]], [[Professor Rowan]], and the rival.

===Graphics===
* {{ga|Lucas}}, {{ga|Dawn}}, and {{ga|Barry}} have different outfits designed for colder weather, as the entire Sinnoh region has changed in temperature.
* The player's house now has wallpaper in their room.
* The template for the [[level]], {{stat|HP}}, and name of Pokémon in battle is a dark gray instead of white, and its shape has changed.
* The [[Pokétch]] has been redesigned. Players can now move up and down between apps instead of having to go through all of them to return to a previous one.
* Some of the [[move]]s have been redesigned and have a different animation, such as {{m|Razor Leaf}} and {{m|Spacial Rend}}.
* When Pokémon are sent out from their [[Poké Ball]]s, their back sprites now animate much like their front sprites have since {{v2|Emerald}} (i.e., multiple frames of animation in addition to the various distortions and filters already used).
* Front sprites for {{cat|Generation IV Pokémon}} and other Pokémon in the [[List of Pokémon by Sinnoh Pokédex number|Sinnoh Pokédex]] have also changed. Certain Pokémon not in the Sinnoh Pokédex, like {{p|Meowth}}, also received a change in sprites. The {{2v2|Diamond|Pearl}} sprites are still used when the player dresses up the Pokémon either in {{pkmn|Super Contest}}s or in the [[Jubilife TV]] station.
* When battling certain {{pkmn|Trainer}}s such as [[Gym Leader]]s, [[Frontier Brain]]s and {{ga|Barry}}, the Trainers' sprites are now animated to move in the same manner as Pokémon.
* Some Trainers now use [[Seals]] when sending out some of their Pokémon.
* The {{gy|Eterna}}, {{gy|Hearthome}}, and [[Veilstone Gym]]s have all had complete redesigns in the interior.
* Closeups of Gym Leaders, just before a battle, have been changed from enlarged sprites to higher-quality drawings and the terms VS; the Frontier Brains also have this feature. The Elite Four have this as well, but the animation includes the player on the left side of the "VS." and the Elite Four member on the right side.
* The rooms where the player battle the {{si|Elite Four}} have been redesigned. {{EF|Aaron}} now has logs and foliage in his room. [[Bertha]] now has rocks in her room. {{EF|Flint}} now has lava pits in his room. [[Lucian]]'s room has only had minor changes to now include four large lights or glowing orbs on the floor. [[Cynthia]]'s room has changed its color scheme and the lift leading up to the [[Hall of Fame]] is now partially contained. The [[Pokémon Center]] at the Elite Four has also been redesigned.
* When entering new areas, the location "labels" on the top-left corner have been redesigned, much like they were between {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}} and {{game|Emerald}}.
* All Gyms now only have Pokémon of their type specialty.
* {{p|Pikachu}} and {{p|Pachirisu}} are now featured when entering Wi-Fi.
* The [[Pal Pad]] has been given a new design.
* The [[Junichi Masuda|game director]] at [[Hotel Grand Lake]] now has an overhead sprite of his own. The [[Diploma]] also was redesigned.
* When the player starts the battle with the Giratina in the [[Distortion World]], instead of displaying "A wild GIRATINA appeared!", it displays "The Distortion World's GIRATINA appeared!". It is referred to as "the wild GIRATINA" in other instances, such as attacking, however.
* The trees in West Sinnoh have sharper angles and a point at the top, compared to rounded branches and a rounded top in Diamond and Pearl, and are also slightly darker. The trees in East Sinnoh are also slightly darker, but are now a completely different hue than the trees in West Sinnoh, and are more rounded than in Diamond and Pearl, while the Battle Zone has completely new trees altogether.

* The battle menu was redesigned.
* When Spiritomb appears in the wild or comes out of a Trainer's [[Poké Ball]], the [[Odd Keystone]] is seen for a few seconds in its battle animation.

===Sound===
* Giratina's cry will be heard when "Start" or "A" are pressed at the title screen, unlike in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}} which just play a snippet of the title theme's melody. It shares this trait with some other games.
* The [[Mystery Gift]] theme has changed from a rendition of the [[FireRed and LeafGreen|Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions]] theme to a new theme.

==Missing Pokémon==
These Pokémon are unavailable in Platinum. To be obtained they must be [[trade]]d from the other games of [[Generation IV]] or [[Pal Park|imported]] from a game from [[Generation III]].

==Reception==
Upon its release, Pokémon Platinum received very good review scores from critics. IGN gave the game a "Great" score with an 8.8 out of 10 stating that, "Yes, it's still good. Even two years later".<ref>[http://ds.ign.com/articles/965/965092p1.html IGN: Pokemon Platinum Version Review] (retrieved December 21, 2009)</ref> It currently holds an 83% rating on Gamerankings.com, while being reviewed by a total of 34 sources.<ref>[http://www.gamerankings.com/ds/946308-pokemon-platinum-version/index.html Gamerankings: Pokemon Platinum Version] (retrieved January 18, 2010)</ref>

{{wp|Famitsū}}, a Japanese video game magazine, noted that Platinum was the fastest selling game released for the Nintendo DS. It also had the tenth highest selling figures of any game for 2009, and was the only game for the DS to place in the top ten.<ref>[http://videogames.yahoo.com/events/plugged-in/nintendo-call-of-duty-dominate-09-game-sales-figures/1385597] Game sales data 2009 (retrieved January 16, 2010)</ref>

==Compatibility==
The game can connect automatically to {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}} and {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} once players have access to a [[Pokémon Center]]. It can also connect to [[Pokémon Ranger: Shadows of Almia]] and obtain Pokémon received from [[Ranger Net]] Special Missions. It retains the same compatibility with [[Generation III]] games and [[Pokémon Battle Revolution]] as its predecessors, but [[My Pokémon Ranch]] requires a Japan-only update to work with Platinum. Pokémon Battle Revolution also wasn't programmed to be compatible with Platinum, so new formes will not appear.

Like Diamond and Pearl, the issue with Korean characters remains: non-Korean versions of [[Generation IV]] games did not include a way to view Korean characters, and therefore Korean versions of any Generation IV game can't normally trade with any non-Korean game. If a Pokémon with a Korean name or Korean Trainer name was somehow traded to a non-Korean game, the data for their name would be converted to something else. In Diamond and Pearl, empty spaces were used in lieu of Korean characters. However, Platinum—and subsequently HeartGold and SoulSilver—show dashes instead; this is likely to prevent any issues that may come from a completely blank name.

==Staff==
{{main|Staff of Pokémon Platinum}}

==Music==
{{main|Pokémon Diamond & Pokémon Pearl: Super Music Collection}}
The soundtrack contains all of the background music used in Pokémon Diamond and Pearl (the basis for a majority of the music in Pokémon Platinum). However, the soundtrack does not include [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl beta#Music|the remastered title theme music]] from {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}} or the other unused music, all of which are present in the internal data of Diamond and Pearl, as well as Platinum.

{{main|Pokémon Black 2 & Pokémon White 2: Super Music Collection}}
Several music tracks exclusive to Platinum went officially unreleased until 2012, when they were included with the official soundtrack of {{game|Black and White|s 2|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2}}. These Platinum-exclusive tracks comprise tracks 17-48 of Disc 4 of the soundtrack.

==Errors==
* Normally, when the player picks up an item on the ground, it disappears and the message saying "[Player] received a(n)/the [item]" displays. However, when the player approaches the Poké Ball containing the {{DL|Type-enhancing item|Griseous Orb}}, it displays "<Player> received a Griseous Orb!" ''before'' it disappears. This mistake was corrected in the localizations. This oversight also occurs in the [[Turnback Cave]] with the item in the last room by the portal in every release of the game.

==Trivia==
* The instruction manual included with the game claims there are 493 Pokémon to be discovered. However, the game was released before {{p|Arceus}}, the 493rd Pokémon, was officially revealed.
* This is the first game where the player can battle an [[Non-player character|NPC]] in a Pokémon Center.
* Platinum removed the "©(publishing year) GAME FREAK inc." notice present on the title screen in Diamond and Pearl and preceding games, instead having a notice saying "Developed by {{tt|GAME FREAK Inc.|Says "GAME FREAK." only in the original Japanese version}}" similar to the notices found on the title screens of recent games developed by {{wp|tri-Ace}}.
* This is the only solitary core series version to be released in South Korea.
* This is the most recent solitary core series version to be released.

Fishing

BobBot321: /* Generation V */

[[File:Zoey fishing rod.png|thumb|220px|[[Zoey]] with a fishing rod in the anime]]
'''Fishing''' is a recreation that is commonly seen in the [[Pokémon world]].

==In the games==
Fishing is a way to {{pkmn2|caught|catch}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} in the water. In fact, some Pokémon can only be caught by using a fishing rod. There are three fishing rods that are given out throughout the course of most {{pkmn|games}}, and each one is given out by a [[Fishing Brothers|Fishing Brother]]. [[Generation V]] includes only the Super Rod, which is given out by [[Looker]]{{sup/5|BW}} or [[Cedric Juniper]]{{sup/5|B2W2}}. In [[Generation VII]], [[Pokémon Sun and Moon]] include only a Fishing Rod, given out by [[Lana]]. The Fishing Rod may additionally reel in items instead of Pokémon.

===Catching Pokémon===
====Generation I and Generation II====
In Generation {{gen|I}} and {{gen|II}}, fishing is simply a matter of standing next to water and using the rod. Sometimes, it will hook a Pokémon and start a {{pkmn|battle}}. Other times, it will catch nothing. There is a random chance of either happening, so if the rod catches nothing, players can cast it out again. The player can only fish from land, not while surfing.

====Generation III====
Starting with [[Generation III]], the fishing mechanic became more complicated, as the {{player}} would have to pay attention and confirm as soon as the rod hooked a Pokémon, or else it would get away. A series of ellipses appear prior to the text "Oh! A bite!", which is when the player should press the A Button. In {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}, this required a series of confirmations to reel in better Pokémon. [[Generation III]] also introduced the ability for [[Pokémon Trainer]]s to fish off the back of a {{m|surf}}ing Pokémon, which may be required to catch {{p|Feebas}}. This also made fishing on {{rt|4|Kanto}} possible. Starting from Emerald, if the first Pokémon in the player's party has the ability {{a|Suction Cups}} or {{a|Sticky Hold}}, the player is more likely to get a bite.

====Generation IV====
In [[Generation IV]], when the {{player}} uses the rod, an exclamation mark-like sign pops up above the {{player}}, noting that they should push the A button to start the battle with the Pokémon they've encountered. As with [[Generation III]], the Pokémon will go away if the player takes too long.

====Generation V====
[[File:Key Super Rod Sprite.png|thumb|right|Super Rod's Key Item obtain sprite from Generation V]]
In [[Generation V]], fishing mechanics are mostly unchanged from [[Generation IV]]. However, by fishing in {{DL|Phenomenon|rippling water}}, different Pokémon can be caught, generally being rare Pokémon or the evolved forms of the Pokémon normally found. As such, this allows certain Pokémon such as {{p|Milotic}} and {{p|Poliwrath}} to be caught in the wild, while normally they would not. Furthermore, the Old and Good Rods are no longer available, only providing the {{player}} with a single rod to fish for Pokémon with.

====Generation VI====
In [[Generation VI]], fishing mechanics remain mostly unchanged, with the removal of rippling water and the addition of consecutive fishing. The Old and Good Rods return in this Generation.

Consecutive fishing describes fishing repeatedly without moving from a given spot and repeatedly hooking a Pokémon. Hooking multiple Pokémon in a row increases the chances of hooking a [[Shiny Pokémon]], reaching a maximum chance of approximately 1% for a streak of 20 or more Pokémon. The game increases the chances of finding a Shiny Pokémon by generating extra [[personality value]]s in an attempt to find one that results in a Shiny Pokémon, with the number of attempts depending on the size of the current streak. For every Pokémon added to the streak up to 20 Pokémon, the game will make two extra attempts to find a Shiny personality value; i.e., the number of attempts at any given point in the streak is <code>1 + 2 * streak_size</code>, and caps at a maximum of 41 attempts when the streak is at least 20 Pokémon long. This effect stacks with the [[Shiny Charm]]'s effect.<ref>[http://mrnbayoh.github.io/pkmn6gen/chain_fishing_shiny/ Pokemon 6G Chain Fishing Probability Analysis]</ref>

Fishing near rocks and other impassable spaces (not including spaces occupied by Trainers) will raise the chances of hooking Pokémon. The more sides (north, south, east, or west) around the space where the bobber lands that are blocked by such obstacles, the higher the chances of hooking a Pokémon are. A space of land may also count as an obstacle on one side of the bobber, so long as it is not the only one. If three sides are blocked, every cast will hook a Pokémon.

====Generation VII====
In [[Generation VII]], the player can no longer fish in any body of water. Instead, in certain areas, there are piles of rocks at the bottom of the water where the player can fish to find Pokémon. Sometimes when the player reels in their line, they may find an item instead of a Pokémon. In each area with fishing spots, at least one of the rock piles will have bubbles rising from it to the surface, and if the player fishes at that spot, they will be able to find Pokémon that would be rare at the other spots more commonly. As soon as the player reels in a Pokémon or item from such spots, the bubbles will disappear until the player re-enters the area. The bubbles will also disappear if the player moves too quickly near the spot or if they move over it.

The different types of fishing rods are also all replaced by a single "Fishing Rod" in Generation VII. This Fishing Rod cannot be used from the Bag, but instead, when the player approaches a fishing spot, the game prompts the player with the option to press the A button to use the Fishing Rod. Some fishing spots may be accessible from land, while others may only be accessible from water. If the player wishes to fish at a spot in the middle of water, they can only do so using the [[Poké Ride]] {{p|Lapras}} Paddle.

{{main|PokéPark: Fishing Rally DS}}
[[File:PokéPark Fishing Rally fishing ocean.jpg|thumb|150px|Fishing in PokéPark: Fishing Rally DS]]
[[PokéPark: Fishing Rally DS]] is a game focused on fishing for Pokémon. Points are earned for the size, rarity, and species of the caught Pokémon. Up to five Pokémon can be stored at once, and high scores could be seen at {{OBP|Pokémon Center|store}}s, while the game was still available for download.

==In the anime==
===In the main series===
[[File:Super Rod anime.png|thumb|left|250px|Iris holding a Super Rod]]
[[File:Cilan fishing rod.png|thumb|250px|Cilan holding a fishing rod]]
Numerous episodes of the {{pkmn|anime}} have featured the group fishing.

In the first epsiode of the anime, ''[[EP001|Pokémon - I Choose You!]]'', [[Misty]] is shown fishing shortly before Ash runs in to her.

At the {{safari|Kanto}}, a fishing rod is distributed with the {{ball|Safari}}s, as seen in [[EP035]].

Rather than using bait, lures with Pokémon designs are used. In ''[[AG075|Whiscash and Ash]]'', a [[Sullivan|fisherman]] believed that the secret to catching the [[Nero|Whiscash]] he was looking for, was finding the right lure. {{an|Misty}} has a collection of lures, including a [[Misty's special lure|special lure]] based on herself that she believes is the best. She sent it to {{Ash}} as a gift in ''[[AG187|The Unbeatable Lightness of Seeing]]''. Ash used this lure in ''[[DP034|Buizel Your Way Out of This]]'' to try to catch a powerful {{AP|Buizel}}.

In ''[[AG152|On Olden Pond]]'', Ash and his friends visited a lake, which had used to be a popular fishing resort. Ash, {{an|Brock}}, and {{an|May}} tried fishing from the lake, with Ash eventually hooking up a {{p|Crawdaunt}}. Ash attempted to battle the Crawdaunt with his {{AP|Corphish}}, but the Ruffian Pokémon was soon defeated by its evolved form, which then proceeded to destroy the group's loaned fishing rods. It was later revealed that the Crawdaunt belonged to a man named [[Mr. Saridakis]], who had once tried to purchase the lake in order to build an amusement park over it, but {{OBP|Tiffany|AG152}}, the owner of the lake, had refused to sell it. As a result, he had unleashed his Crawdaunt to the lake to scare off the people who came to fish there. After being saved from drowning by a {{p|Dragonair}} living in the lake, Mr. Saridakis decided to cancel his plans.

In ''[[BW032|Facing Fear with Eyes Wide Open!]]'', {{an|Cilan}} used his fishing skills to catch a {{TP|Cilan|Stunfisk}} that was preventing Ash and {{AP|Oshawott}} from retrieving plants at the bottom of a lake to cure their {{status|poison}}ed Pokémon. Like others before him, Cilan uses a fishing lure based on himself. In ''[[BW037|A Fishing Connoisseur in a Fishy Competition!]]'', Cilan showed his fishing skills again by catching a {{p|Basculin}} in {{TRT}}'s fake fishing competition. In [[SS027]], Cilan was seen using his fishing rod once again, this time hooking up a wild {{p|Gyarados}}. Later in the episode, he used his rod in an attempt to pull Gyarados back to its home lake, but was disturbed by [[Amer]] and his robotic {{p|Qwilfish}}.

A Super Rod made its debut in the anime in ''[[BW069|Climbing the Tower of Success!]]'' as the item {{an|Iris}} had to find for a scavenger hunt.

In ''[[BW141|Best Wishes Until We Meet Again!]]'', Cilan mentioned that [[Mr. Briney]] from [[Dewford Town]] was going to host the Old Rod Fishing Rally soon, prompting him to depart for [[Johto]] in order to participate in the said competition.

In ''[[XY022|Going for the Gold!]]'', Ash and his friends met a fisherman named [[Rodman]], who was trying to fish up a {{Shiny}} {{p|Magikarp}} with a Magikarp-shaped lure. Ash, {{an|Serena}}, and {{an|Clemont}} decided to try fishing too, with Ash giving the inexperienced Serena instructions of how to do it correctly. While fishing, Serena hooked up a {{p|Corsola}}, which she tried to battle with her {{TP|Serena|Fennekin}}, but it simply hid itself behind Serena when Corsola tried to use {{m|Water Gun}} on it, causing the Coral Pokémon to get away. Afterwards, Rodman let Ash and his friends keep the fishing rods he had loaned them. The same rods reappeared in ''[[XY024|An Undersea Place to Call Home!]]'', where Ash used one of them to hook up a {{p|Skrelp}}.

A fishing competition was a part of the [[Pokémon Summer Camp]], as shown in ''[[XY040|Day Three Blockbusters!]]''. The Pokémon hooked up during the competition included Ash's {{p|Alomomola}}, Serena's {{p|Staryu}}, Clemont's {{p|Corphish}}, {{an|Tierno}}'s Magikarp, {{an|Shauna}}'s {{p|Tentacool}}, and {{an|Trevor}}'s {{p|Wailord}}. {{an|Bonnie}} also participated the competition, but her possible catch wasn't shown.

===In Pokémon Origins===
[[File:Red Psyduck PO.png|250px|thumb|Red fishing with a Super Rod]]
Fishing was featured a couple of times during [[Pokémon Origins]].

{{OBP|Red|Origins}} obtained an Old Rod from the Vermilion Fishing Guru in ''[[PO02|File 2: Cubone]]'', and a Super Rod from the Silence Bridge Fishing Guru in ''[[PO03|File 3: Giovanni]]''. Soon after obtaining the latter, he was seen using it to capture himself a {{p|Psyduck}}.

Red was also seen fishing with the Super Rod in ''[[PO04|File 4: Charizard]]'', although he did so merely to get some time to think about {{p|Mewtwo|the mysterious Pokémon}} in [[Cerulean Cave]].

==Trivia==
[[File:Walking Pokémon fishing exclamation.png|thumb|200px|The exclamation point above the [[walking Pokémon]]]]
* In [[Generation I]], it is possible to fish in the bottom of the statues in [[Gym]]s (except for the [[Saffron Gym|Saffron]] and [[Cinnabar Gym]]s) or any room of the [[Elite Four]] at [[Indigo Plateau]]. However, when using the Super Rod in any [[Gym]] or [[Elite Four]] room other than [[Cerulean Gym]] or [[Lorelei]]'s room, the game will say "''Looks like there's nothing here.''"
* In [[Generation I]], the only Pokémon that can be fished out by the Old Rod is {{p|Magikarp}}, all of which would be Level 5.
**It even lures Magikarp where wild Pokémon can't normally be caught, such as Lorelei's room at the [[Indigo Plateau]].
* In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, the exclamation point will occasionally appear above the partner Pokémon instead of above the {{player}}'s sprite.
* The Super Rod is the only fishing rod that is obtainable in [[Generation V]]. The Old and Good Rods, while still existent in the game's programming, cannot be obtained without hacking and cannot be used; if hacked in, they can be also be [[held item|held]] by a Pokémon unlike legitimate [[Key Item]]s.

Valuable item

2016-12-29T22:12:47Z

BobBot321: /* Valuable items that can be sold in Poké Marts */

{{redirect|Gold Leaf|the item in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}|Shiny Leaf}}
{{redirect|Stardust|the currency in [[Pokémon GO]]|Stardust (GO)}}
A '''valuable item''' is an [[item]] which generally serves no practical purpose other than to be sold, usually for a high price.

In [[Generation II]] and {{gen|IV}}, it is possible to buy some of these items for a discount (but only one of each per day) on Mondays in the morning in the [[Goldenrod Tunnel]]. In [[Pokémon Black and White Versions|Pokémon Black]], some of these items are sold in [[Black City]], albeit for prices much higher than they can be sold for. Often, these items later become [[exchangeable item]]s. In [[Generation V]], [[mulch]]es and [[flute]]s became valuable items due to losing their function. While most of these items can be sold at [[Poké Mart]]s, those introduced in [[Generation V]] can only be sold to certain [[item maniac]]s. Besides Big Nuggets, Pearl Strings and Comet Shards, the player can also sell normal Nuggets, Pearls and Big Pearls, Stardust and Star Pieces to the maniac inside the Icirrus Pokémon Center, for double the price presented below.

==In the anime==
[[File:Big Mushroom anime.png|thumb|200px|Big Mushrooms in the anime]]
In ''[[XY069|Defending the Homeland!]]'', {{an|Clemont}} mentioned having used Big Mushrooms as a part of the new food he had just made for {{ashfr|the group}}.
{{-}}

==In the manga==
===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
In ''[[PS102|Ursaring Major]]'', [[Team Rocket]] had cut off the tails of a herd of {{p|Slowpoke}} by the [[Slowpoke Well]] near [[Azalea Town]], planning to sell them for profit. However, they were stopped by {{adv|Silver}} and his {{p|Ursaring}} before they could do so.

A Big Pearl appeared in ''[[PS136|Crossing Crobat]]'', where it was retrieved by [[Janine]] as part of a test to check the security of the {{ci|Goldenrod}} Museum.

A Big Mushroom appeared in ''[[PS506|A Week to Go and Old Wounds]]'', where [[Shoko]] gave it to one of her {{p|Patrat}} to hold while demonstrating her [[Marvelous Bridge]] Partrat Show to {{adv|Black}}.

==Trivia==
* The SlowpokeTail is actually a useless item with no function past its monetary value. Although it is said that a Slowpoke will use its tail for fishing, a SlowpokeTail has no effect on fishing at all, nor does it have any effect on {{p|Shellder}} despite the fact that contact with a Slowpoke's tail usually induces a spiral change.
* The first time that humans eating Pokémon is mentioned explicitly in the games is when a [[Team Rocket]] member mentions the SlowpokeTail's value as a delicacy. In Pokémon X and Y, Slowpoke Tail is one of the dishes served by {{DL|Lumiose City restaurants|Restaurant Le Yeah}} in [[Lumiose City]].
* The Japanese name for nugget, きんのたま ''kin no tama'', literally means "golden ball", which is also a colloquial term for testicles. The man offering his "golden ball" is a frequent joke amongst Japanese fans. As this pun would be lost in translation, as well as the fact that it would not go over well with parent groups, it was translated as "nugget of wisdom".
* The Rare Bone and {{DL|Stat-enhancing item|Thick Club}} share the same Bag sprite.

The '''Shady House''' (Japanese: '''いかがわしき{{tt|屋敷|やしき}}''' ''Suspicious Mansion'') is a location on [[Ula'ula Island]] in [[Alola]], located at the north end of [[Po Town]]. [[Team Skull]] is headquartered here.

==Geography==
The Shady House is a messed-up mansion covered in graffiti and grime. It has two floors, with one of the second story bedrooms serving as [[Guzma]]'s makeshift throne room. The {{player}} must collect three secret passwords from around the mansion in order to be able to reach Guzma.

==Trivia==
* If the player sits down on Guzma's chair after defeating him, a Team Skull Grunt will rush in, momentarily mistaking the player for his boss before realizing his mistake and leaving.
* Upon entering the room on the west side of the second floor, the player will observe two female grunts arguing with one another over mistaking each other's clothing. One of the grunts offers a solution that they should write their names on the tags. This is immediately dismissed by the other who says "our names are all 'Grunt'", defeating the purpose. This is a joke on the fact that no [[villainous team]] grunts are given unique names, even with the introduction of trainer names in [[Generation II]].

'''Celesteela''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''テッカグヤ''' ''Tekkaguya'') is a dual-type {{2t|Steel|Flying}} Pokémon.

It is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon.

It is one of the [[Ultra Beast]]s and is known by the code name '''UB-04 Blaster''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|UB04 BLASTER|ユービーゼロヨンブラスター}}''').

==Biology==
According to the [[Aether Foundation]], its most distinctive feature is the energy that it stores within itself: a flammable gas that it can shoot from its two huge arms. This is mostly used to propel itself in flight and for battle, but it is thought to have sufficient power and lift to even fly into space. Its bodily construction closely resembles that of a plant, and it absorbs nutrients from the soil.

===Origin===
Celesteela may be based on both {{wp|The Tale of the Bamboo Cutter|Princess Kaguya}} and the spacecraft {{wp|SELENE|SELENE}} (nicknamed "Kaguya" in Japan), which orbited the Moon between 2007 and 2009.

====Name origin====
Celesteela may be a combination of ''celestial'', ''steel'', and ''stella'' (Latin for star).

Tekkaguya may be a combination of 鉄火 ''tekka'' (gunfire) and かぐや姫 ''Kaguya-hime'' ({{wp|The Tale of the Bamboo Cutter|Princess Kaguya}}).

Talk:Parental Bond (Ability)

2016-06-30T23:33:18Z

BobBot321: /* Round */ new section

==Giga Impact==
--[[User:Darkmaster|Darkmaster]] ([[User talk:Darkmaster|talk]]) 04:39, 1 November 2013 (UTC)How would this ability affect a move like, say, Giga Impact? Would it attack once, then rest, making it a one turn move? Would it attack twice and rest for 2 turns? Or would it be attack twice, then rest one turn? I am just curious.
:Just tested. They both hit on the same round, and then recharge on the next turn, and are able to act again on the turn after. So, it works exactly like it would with any other Pokemon. When using an attack with Parental Bond, it will say "Hit 2 times!" as if it were a move like Double Hit. [[User:PowerPlantRaichu|PowerPlantRaichu]] ([[User talk:PowerPlantRaichu|talk]]) 18:42, 1 November 2013 (UTC)

== Power-Up Punch ==

Power up Punch and similar moves give their bonuses twice when used with Parental Bond. [[User:PowerPlantRaichu|PowerPlantRaichu]] ([[User talk:PowerPlantRaichu|talk]]) 19:24, 2 November 2013 (UTC)

== Damage Reduction ==

Does anyone know the exact damage reduction for the second hit. I have read 50% on Smogon but I'm not sure how reliable that number is. [[User:Ctom42|Ctom42]] ([[User talk:Ctom42|talk]]) 15:18, 4 November 2013 (UTC)
It is 50%. But not the damage is reduced, but the power of the move is halved. It still can do an own critical hit and fixed damage is not affected. I guess it also has its own random factor in the damage calculation. - Pokémon [[User:Pokémon|Questions?]] -- 03:34, 11 January 2014 (UTC)

== Earthquake ==

The article currently mentions earthquake only hitting once in horde and triple battles. What about double battles? And is it just earthquake or is it all moves which hit multiple opponents? Or is it all moves which hit both opponents and allies? Also do those type of moves have a specific name I can tag them as, similar to how multi-hit moves are tagged right now? [[User:Ctom42|Ctom42]] ([[User talk:Ctom42|talk]]) 15:20, 4 November 2013 (UTC)

== Status Moves ==

Are Status moves also performed twice? Recover, Sword Dance, even Protect...? - Pokémon [[User:Pokémon|Questions?]] -- 03:30, 11 January 2014 (UTC)
:Only moves that do damage are affected. [[User:Glik|Glik]] ([[User talk:Glik|talk]]) 03:40, 11 January 2014 (UTC)
::Thank you. But the sentence "This only affects moves that do damage." is confusing. What does it mean then? If is meant, that it must not miss, that is explained in the last paragraph. - Pokémon [[User:Pokémon|Questions?]] -- 03:56, 11 January 2014 (UTC)
:::What about it is confusing? It can't be any more straightforward; moves that deal damage are affected, moves that don't, aren't. [[User:Glik|Glik]] ([[User talk:Glik|talk]]) 04:05, 11 January 2014 (UTC)
::::The context is confusing: "with the second attack being half as strong as the first. This only affects moves that do damage." Of course damage (actually it is the power and not the damage) can only be halved by offensive moves. But it does not sound unambiguous. Nowhere in the description cleary stands that Status Moves are excluded. Perpaps it would be good to write "This ''ablility'' only affects moves that do damage." instead. - Pokémon [[User:Pokémon|Questions?]] -- 15:11, 11 January 2014 (UTC)
:::::How is it not clear that status moves aren't affected? You just said that it's obvious only damage can be halved. The first sentence makes it apparent that it only affects damaging moves, the second sentence clarifies it. It doesn't matter if "This" is referring to the Ability or its effect, there's no difference between them. If the Ability had a second affect, further clarification would be needed but it doesn't. The Ability only affects damaging moves, so it's effects must only apply to damaging moves and vice versa. [[User:Glik|Glik]] ([[User talk:Glik|talk]]) 16:04, 11 January 2014 (UTC)
::::::I know I'm late to the party, but if I may interject? To put a long story short, moves like Howl, Swords Dance, Recover, and those moves within the Status category are only performed once with a Parental Bond wielding Pokemon. --[[User:IM-T-MAN2|IM-T-MAN2]] ([[User talk:IM-T-MAN2|talk]]) 01:38, 30 October 2015 (UTC)

== Moves mentioned that can't even be legitimately learned ==

Why are so many moved mentioned, moves that aren't even possible for Kangaskhan to learn?

Dragon Tail, U-turn and Volt Switch
Bug Bite and Pluck
Smelling Salts, Wake-Up Slap and Knock Off all to name a few.

Why are these moves even mentioned? [[User:Yamitora1|Yamitora1]] ([[User talk:Yamitora1|talk]]) 08:25, 18 April 2014 (UTC)
:Kangashan can use all of the listed moves via Mimic, and PB can be moved to other Pokémon with Skill Swap.--'''[[User:Dennou Zenshi|電禅]][[User talk:Dennou Zenshi|Den Zen]]''' 09:05, 18 April 2014 (UTC)
::And it's not like there can't be more Pokemon who have Parental Bond in the future. [[User:Ataro|Ataro]] ([[User talk:Ataro|talk]]) 09:14, 18 April 2014 (UTC)

== Multi-Hit Moves ==

The description says that it doesn't affect multi-strike moves, but I've been using mega kangaskhan for a while now, and I noticed something odd: it seems that Parental bond causes all multi-hit attacks to hit exactly twice? From what I've seen. Has anyone else noticed this?
[[User:Harumei|Harumei]] ([[User talk:Harumei|talk]]) 15:52, 5 December 2014 (UTC)
:I tried with Comet Punch, and got it to hit 2, 3, 4, and 5 times with Parental Bond. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 03:27, 10 January 2015 (UTC)

== Multi target moves ==

Does moves like earthquake that hit friend and foe hit twice if there is only one target?

I know Dazzling Gleam will hit twice if there is only one opponent. [[User:Yamitora1|Yamitora1]] ([[User talk:Yamitora1|talk]]) 02:16, 10 January 2015 (UTC)
:Yeah, I tried it, and if the move only hits one Pokémon it will hit twice in a Double Battle, but if it strikes more than one (including an ally) then it will only strike once. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 03:27, 10 January 2015 (UTC)
::What about if it cannot strike all targets for some reason, Like if earthquake is used and only one target is able to be effected due to being flying or something else? [[User:Yamitora1|Yamitora1]] ([[User talk:Yamitora1|talk]]) 03:57, 10 January 2015 (UTC)
:::NVM I see it now lol ^^; [[User:Yamitora1|Yamitora1]] ([[User talk:Yamitora1|talk]]) 04:00, 10 January 2015 (UTC)

== Round ==

Does anyone know if using round with parental bond increases the damage output (does it count as it being used multiple times in one turn)? [[User:BobBot321|BobBot321]] ([[User talk:BobBot321|talk]]) 23:33, 30 June 2016 (UTC)
