==Synopsis==
{{Ash}} eagerly runs into a town hoping it to be [[Driftveil City]], but unfortunately {{an|Cilan}} and {{an|Iris}} tell him it's not. Nearby Ash sees a trainer with three {{p|Maractus}} performing a performance routine. The trainer decides it time to execute their routine called "Over the Rainbow." All three start off by using {{m|Round}} which mesh together to form a rainbow circle. Two of the Maractus named Marra and Racca leaps into the air and uses {{m|Petal Dance}}. Marra and Racca high-five then join hands in the air and proceed to use {{m|Pin Missile}} while spinning. Finally the trainer commands the final Maractus, Tussy, who is noticeably smaller than Marra and Racca, to leap and "Cross the Rainbow." Tussy leaps into the air and tries to land on Marra and Racca's arms but it messes up the move and all three Maractus crash into the ground. Ash, Cilan, And Iris run over to help check up on them, luckily they are all okay.

Ash and his friends introduce themselves to him. [[Toby]] introduces himself as well as each of his Maractus as the unit "Maractus the Trio." They are practicing their routine in hopes of one day performing in the [[Pokémon Musical]] in [[Nimbasa City]]. In the meantime he wants to participate in the Pokémon Performance Contest that's held in town in order to gain confidence before they audition for the musical. Toby describes the "Over the Rainbow" performance that they are practicing. What was supposed to happen is after Marra and Racca high-five then join hands, Tussy is to then land on their arms and use {{m|Sunny Day}} causing the Pin Missile and Petal Dance to shine and create a rainbow. Ash, Iris, and Cilan volunteer to help them master the routine.

Toby firsts need some rhythm. As Ash ponders which of his Pokémon can provide good rhythm, {{AP|Oshawott}} pops out of his Poké Ball. Oshawott taps his Scalchop making a drum noise, Toby thinks it's perfect. Cilan sends out his {{TP|Cilan|Pansage}}. Toby gives Pansage a tambourine. Pansage enthusiastically plays a rhythm on it. Iris recommends that {{TP|Iris|Axew}} has rhythm too. After a bit of fun dancing, they settle down. Pansage and Pikachu both have tambourines, Axew with maracas, and Oshawott with a castanet. Unfortunately they cannot sync their rhythm and a fight between them unfolds. Toby instead decides to play some music on a boom box. Toby once again executes the same routine as before. Marra and Racca starts off "Over the Rainbow" but once again, when Tussy tries to land on Marra and Racca's arms, it fails the jump and landing and all three Maractus crash to the ground.

Toby knows that Tussy is the one that is messing up the routine, so he wants Tussy to improve its jump. Iris decides to bring out her jumping expert {{TP|Iris|Emolga}}. Emolga shows Tussy how to do a simple jump by jumping from the ground onto Iris' head. Tussy tries to jump onto Toby's head but it doesn't jump high enough and thus they both fall to the ground. Emolga coaches Tussy a little bit more and, once Tussy gets focused, Tussy jumps high into the air and lands perfectly on Toby's head. With the successful jump now mastered, Toby has his three Maractus perform the jump with Marra and Racca on the ground. Tussy does the jump correctly but it cannot keep its balance on their arms. Cilan concludes that they need to sync better. Ash suggests that they have a battle to improve their synchronization. Cilan suggests a triple battle.

The battle sets up with Toby and his three Maractus and Ash with {{AP|Pikachu}}. {{AP|Tepig}}, and {{AP|Snivy}}. Pikachu starts off with a {{m|Thunderbolt}} but all three Maractus dodges. All three Maractus attacks with Round, hitting all three of Ash's Pokémon. Snivy attacks with {{m|Leaf Storm}} but the Maractus counters with Pin Missile. Tepig attacks with {{m|Flamethrower}} but Marra and Racca blocks the attack with Petal Dance. Marra and Racca join hands and unleashes Pin Missile just like their routine, but Snivy blocks the attack with {{m|Vine Whip}}. Tussy leaps up into the air and lands perfectly on Marra and Racca's arms, but as it looks down, it begins to panic and all three Maractus fall to the ground. Cilan decides to end the battle.

Toby figures that Tussy is afraid of heights. He tells him that he can overcome it if he puts a little effort into it. Despite the fact that their performance isn't complete, Toby decides it's time to go to the Performance Contest. Toby tells Ash, Iris, and Cilan that he hopes his town, which is a small town in the middle of wasteland next to a coal mine, will one day watch his performance. As a child he was amazed by a Pokémon performance held their once, and coincidentally, a rainbow was over the performance. However as time had passed and the coal mine was sealed, everyone in town left. Toby eventually left as well. As he traveled across the desert he saw Marra, Racca, and Tussy playing together. At that moment another rainbow shone overhead, and Toby vowed that he would use those three Maractus to perform. He asked if they'd join him and they all agreed.

Toby decides to have one last practice before they start. However, once again, after landing on Marra and Racca's arms, Tussy's fear of heights causes all three to fall to the ground. Toby yells at Tussy to stop messing up as the future success of the "Maractus the Trio" relies upon their next performance. Upset by his failure and Toby's scolding, Tussy runs off. As they try to find Tussy the Pokémon Performance Contest begins. Toby and Ash continue to search for Tussy while Iris and Cilan go to the competition. Toby and Ash finally find Tussy, but Tussy continues to run until it bumps into a {{p|Scolipede}}. Tussy freezes in fear but Toby runs in front of Tussy to protect it, telling it to run away. Tussy instead jumps onto the Scolipede's head. Ash has Pikachu use {{m|Electro Ball}} on Scolipede's feet. Tussy jumps off of Scolipede before the attack hits and Tussy lands perfectly on Marra and Racca's arms for the first time without falling. Toby apologizes to Scolipede as they run away.

Toby congratulates Tussy on its first successful jump and also apologizes to Tussy for being so hard on it. He realizes that Tussy was doing its best all along and he was wrong to scold it. Back at the Performance Contest, Iris stalls them long enough for Toby to return. Toby enters as the last performer. Marra, Racca, and Tussy starts off the performance with their dance with maracas. Toby decides its time to perform "Over the Rainbow." Marra, Racca, and Tussy starts off with Round creating a rainbow circle. Marra and Racca then jumps up with Petal Dance and high-five then join hands. They continue by spinning together while using Pin Missile. Tussy still is nervous about doing the performance but Toby tells Tussy that he believes that it can do it just like earlier. Tussy enthusiastically jumps and lands perfectly on Marra and Racca's arms. Tussy uses Sunny Day, completing the performance perfectly by making a rainbow just like Toby had envisioned.

Toby runs on to the stage happy that the performance was finally a success. Afterwards, Toby is announced the winner of the contest. Toby announces that, with their performance perfected, he will continue on to Nimbasa City to audition. Toby hopes that he'll be able to make a troupe and one day restore his hometown to its former glory. Ash, Iris, and Cilan wishes him well as he prepares to leave, however Toby's Maractus notice a rainbow in the sky, before they all finally leave to continue their respective journeys.

==Trivia==
* Umbreon is tied with {{p|Vaporeon}} and {{p|Leafeon}} for the tallest Eevee evolution.
* Although it is often mentioned that it is able to spray poison, the only {{type2|Poison}} move Umbreon can learn is {{m|Toxic}}, and only through [[TM06]].
* Umbreon was the first and only pure {{type2|Dark}} until the introduction of {{p|Poochyena}}, {{p|Mightyena}}, and {{p|Absol}} in [[Generation III]].
* Umbreon is not obtainable in {{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}} due to lack of a time system. In order to be obtained and added to the [[Pokédex]] in these versions, an Eevee must be traded to {{3v2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}, evolved and then traded back or traded from [[Pokémon Colosseum|Colosseum]] or [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness|Gale of Darkness]].
* By [[National Pokédex]] order, Umbreon is the first {{type2|Dark}} Pokémon, and the last Pokémon to not share a type with a Pokémon of a lower number.
* Umbreon is the only non-{{type2|Psychic}} Pokémon with the ability {{a|Synchronize}}.
* Umbreon is one of two Pokémon that can be obtained via more than one evolution method in the main series of games. The other one is Umbreon's counterpart, {{p|Espeon}}.
* Umbreon has the highest Special Defense of all Dark-types.
* In [[Pokémon Stadium 2]], [[Pokémon Colosseum]], and {{Pokémon XD}}, Umbreon glows between its regular and shiny colorations.
* Umbreon is the only [[Eeveelution]] with a type immunity (without counting abilities).
* According to the {{2v2|Diamond|Pearl}} Pokédex, Umbreon, {{p|Glaceon}}, and {{p|Leafeon}} have identical footprints.

===Origin===
Some of its traits are similar to those of a {{wp|hare}}; Numerous East Asian legends concern a {{wp|Moon rabbit}}. In old European stories, the {{wp|Moon gazing hare}} also has roots tied to folklore sources containing references to the Moon, hares, and night-time. It also has very similar looks to a {{wp|Black Cat}}, with slitted eyes and a feline-shaped skull. This would make sense to its type being Dark; black cats in most cultures are associated with deception and trickery. The rings on its body look like Egytian lunar markings and jewelry that have been associated with cat sculpture as well.

====Name origin====
Umbreon's name is derived from ''{{wp|umbra}}'', Latin for ''shadow'' and ''ghost''. The ''-eon'' suffix, common to all {{p|Eevee}} [[evolution]]s, comes from Eevee's prototype English name and possibly refers to the ending suffix of ''evolution'' itself.
Umbreon's name may also be derived from the color ''{{wp|umber}}'', seeing that it is a shade of brown very close to black.

Its Japanese name, Blacky, could be a mix of 黒 (black) and 運が良い (lucky), tributing the black cat in Japan that is considered lucky. It may also simply refer to the color of its coat.

==In other languages==
*[[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Nachtara - From ''Nacht'' (night). Ends with ''-a'' like every [[Eeveelution]] in German.
*[[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Noctali - From ''nocturne'' (nocturnal). Ends with ''-li'' like every [[Eeveelution]] in French.
*[[List of Korean Pokémon names|Korean]]: 블래키 ''Beullaeki''
*[[List of Chinese Pokémon names|Chinese (Taiwan)]]: 月精靈 ''Yuè Jīng Líng'' - Literally means "Moon Spirit". Ends with ''-精靈''(spirit) like every [[Eeveelution]] in Chinese.

==Trivia==
* Umbreon is tied with {{p|Vaporeon}} and {{p|Leafeon}} for the tallest Eevee evolution.
* Although it is often mentioned that it is able to spray poison, the only {{type2|Poison}} move Umbreon can learn is {{m|Toxic}}, and only through [[TM06]].
* Umbreon was the first and only pure {{type2|Dark}} until the introduction of {{p|Poochyena}}, {{p|Mightyena}}, and {{p|Absol}} in [[Generation III]].
* Umbreon is not obtainable in {{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}} due to lack of a time system. In order to be obtained and added to the [[Pokédex]] in these versions, an Eevee must be traded to {{3v2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}, evolved and then traded back or traded from [[Pokémon Colosseum|Colosseum]] or [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness|Gale of Darkness]].
* By [[National Pokédex]] order, Umbreon is the first {{type2|Dark}} Pokémon, and the last Pokémon to not share a type with a Pokémon of a lower number.
* Umbreon is the only non-{{type2|Psychic}} Pokémon with the ability {{a|Synchronize}}.
* Umbreon is one of two Pokémon that can be obtained via more than one evolution method in the main series of games. The other one is Umbreon's counterpart, {{p|Espeon}}.
* Umbreon has the highest Special Defense of all Dark-types.
* In [[Pokémon Stadium 2]], [[Pokémon Colosseum]], and {{Pokémon XD}}, Umbreon glows between its regular and shiny colorations.
* Umbreon is the only [[Eeveelution]] with a type immunity (without counting abilities).
* According to the {{2v2|Diamond|Pearl}} Pokédex, Umbreon, {{p|Glaceon}}, and {{p|Leafeon}} have identical footprints.

===Origin===
Some of its traits are similar to those of a {{wp|hare}}; Numerous East Asian legends concern a {{wp|Moon rabbit}}. In old European stories, the {{wp|Moon gazing hare}} also has roots tied to folklore sources containing references to the Moon, hares, and night-time. It also has very similar looks to a {{wp|Black Cat}}, with slitted eyes and a feline-shaped skull. This would make sense to its type being Dark; black cats in most cultures are associated with deception and trickery. The rings on its body look like Egytian lunar markings and jewelry that have been associated with cat sculpture as well.

====Name origin====
Umbreon's name is derived from ''{{wp|umbra}}'', Latin for ''shadow'' and ''ghost''. The ''-eon'' suffix, common to all {{p|Eevee}} [[evolution]]s, comes from Eevee's prototype English name and possibly refers to the ending suffix of ''evolution'' itself.
Umbreon's name may also be derived from the color ''{{wp|umber}}'', seeing that it is a shade of brown very close to black.

Its Japanese name, Blacky, could be a mix of 黒 (black) and 運が良い (lucky), tributing the black cat in Japan that is considered lucky. It may also simply refer to the color of its coat.

==In other languages==
*[[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Nachtara - From ''Nacht'' (night). Ends with ''-a'' like every [[Eeveelution]] in German.
*[[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Noctali - From ''nocturne'' (nocturnal). Ends with ''-li'' like every [[Eeveelution]] in French.
*[[List of Korean Pokémon names|Korean]]: 블래키 ''Beullaeki''
*[[List of Chinese Pokémon names|Chinese (Taiwan)]]: 月精靈 ''Yuè Jīng Líng'' - Literally means "Moon Spirit". Ends with ''-精靈''(spirit) like every [[Eeveelution]] in Chinese.

{{spoilers}}

== Synopsis ==
Our heroes are wandering through the forest without a compass, trying to find the path to [[Vermilion City]]. {{Ash}} and {{an|Misty}} are fighting, as usual, this time over who led them astray, while {{an|Brock}} is trying to get them to cool down.

They pause for a rest, and Ash sees an {{p|Oddish}} taking a drink. Misty sends her {{TP|Misty|Starmie}} to fight the Oddish so she can {{pkmn2|Caught|catch}} it. The Oddish is defeated, but Misty's [[Poké Ball]] is deflected by the appearance of a {{p|Bulbasaur}} before she can claim it. The Bulbasaur attacks and defeats the Starmie; Ash sends his {{AP|Butterfree}} after the Bulbasaur with a {{m|Sleep Powder}} attack, but the Bulbasaur blows the powder back at Butterfree. Both the Oddish and the Bulbasaur run off into the underbrush.

The trio attempt to cross a rope bridge, but a wind starts to rip the bridge apart. Brock falls into the river below, while Misty and Pikachu cling to Ash. Ash ultimately manages to pull them up, and the three make their way to the end of the bridge. They make their way down to water level and go looking for Brock. At once, Misty falls through a dead fall into a pit. Ash pulls her out, and they go on looking. As they walk along, Misty's toe catches a rope, and they find themselves suspended in a net. They're found by the Bulbasaur.

[[Team Rocket]] appears, looking for a village across the bridge.

Ash speculates that Brock has been washed to sea and shanghaied by pirates; moments later, Brock appears and cuts them down. Brock relates his experience in the river; he was rescued from the rapids by an "incredibly beautiful" girl. Brock takes them to a village and introduces them to the girl, [[Melanie]].

Ash and Misty notice the large number of Pokémon in the village and wonder if they belong to Melanie. Brock explains that this [[Hidden Village]] is a place for abandoned or injured Pokémon to come to rest and relax. Melanie cares for them until they're better, then they leave. Melanie collects plants to use for medicine, though she says she's unqualified to be a Pokémon doctor. Misty teases Brock for falling in love with Melanie; he reacts a little violently, fearing Melanie might overhear.

Melanie explains that she set the traps they fell into to prevent [[Pokémon Trainer]]s from reaching the village. She is trying to protect the injured Pokémon from being captured while they are too ill to escape.

[[Jessie]], [[James]] and {{MTR}} try to cross the remains of the bridge, but it collapses under them, dumping them into the river.

Brock promised Melanie they wouldn't capture any of the Pokémon in the village; Misty asks if he sealed the promise with a kiss, and Brock thumps her hard on the top of her head. Misty agrees anyway, saying, "Only bad guys try to capture sick Pokémon." Ash worries if the traps are enough to keep robbers away, saying, "You'd have to be pretty stupid to fall into one of those holes." Cut to Team Rocket as Jessie says, "That's the third hole we've fallen into!" They get out only to immediately get caught in a net.

Brock and Ash are tending to a {{p|Staryu}}, while Misty apologizes to the Oddish. She and Ash begin quarreling, and the Bulbasaur tackles Misty, thinking Oddish was in danger. Melanie explains that Bulbasaur volunteered to protect the whole village. Bulbasaur tries to push Ash out of the village because it doesn't trust Pokémon Trainers. Ash wishes he had a Pokémon that brave.

Team Rocket appears from behind a cloud, standing on a balloon-lifted platform, reciting their mantra. They land in a clearing outside the village, and try to collect all the Pokémon in the village with a massive vacuum. Brock herds everyone into the cabin, but Oddish gets caught in the suction. Bulbasaur rescues Oddish with its {{m|Vine Whip}}, and Ash helps block the wind so it can carry Oddish to the cabin. The vacuum starts to actually pull the roof off the cabin, so Bulbasaur uses its vine whips to smack the hose around. Ash releases his {{AP|Pidgeotto}} with instructions to start a {{m|Gust}} attack. The resultant tornado tosses Team Rocket and their platform into the distance.

Melanie asks Ash to take the Bulbasaur with him; the village is too small for its bulb to grow. She says the Pokémon are staying in the village too long, because the Bulbasaur has done too good a job of protecting them. She feels Ash will be a good Trainer for Bulbasaur. Bulbasaur agrees to go with Ash, on condition that they battle first. Ash sends Pikachu, and the two trade rams. Bulbasaur uses its vine whips to toss Pikachu around, but Ash calls for a {{m|Thunderbolt}}, which shocks Bulbasaur into submission, allowing Ash to [[Ash's Bulbasaur|catch it]]. Brock offers to stay and help, but Melanie refuses, telling him to continue on his adventures.

== Trivia ==
* This is the first episode of a three-episode arc where Ash gets each of [[Kanto]]'s [[starter Pokémon]].
* [[Eric Stuart]] takes over for [[Ted Lewis]] in the role of James as of this episode.
* James makes a reference to the Japanese baseball player {{wp|Nomo Hideo}} in the Japanese version when Pidgeotto blows the stadium away.
* The dub title sounds similar to the Japanese title. It shares this trait with [[EP006|other]] [[DP076|episodes]].
* This is one of the few times a knife (in this case, a {{wp|hunting knife}}) is seen in the anime.
*This episode is featured on the ''Volume 7: Bulbasaur'' copy of [[Pokémon All-Stars]].

=== Errors ===
* Before Ash helps Bulbasaur, part of Bulbasaur's bulb disappears.
* When [[Team Rocket]] falls down into a hole, {{MTR}}'s paws turn dark brown and his lower body turns darker.
* When Team Rocket got caught in the net, Meowth's ears turn light brown.
* After Ash captures Bulbasaur, Melanie's shirt is red instead of pink.
* Ash's gloves turn completely lime green after he pulls Misty, Pikachu and himself up from the broken bridge.
* After Team Rocket's motto, James's gloves are missing.
* After being released from the net trap by Brock, Ash's gloves disappeared.
* When Ash and co. sit on the rock, the back of Ash's cap is white.

=== Dub edits ===
* The exchange between Ash and Misty at the bridge was different: In the dub versions, Ash was losing confidence, while Misty was encouraging him, while in the original version, Ash says Misty is far too heavy, and Misty berates Ash for implying that she's fat.
* Another different exchange is when they are caught in the net, they are obviously cramped. In the dub, Ash attempts to break out of the net and Misty tells him his plan isn't working; and in the Japanese version, Ash attempts to break the net but the shaking of the net starts when Misty tells Ash his attempts to break out are leading to him touching her in inappropriate places.
* Also, when Ash was guessing about what happened to Brock, he speculates that he was picked up by pirates in the dub, while in the original he was actually guessing that he was picked up by an ugly old hag washing clothes in the river.

'''Chikorita''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''チコリータ''' ''Chicorita'') is a {{type2|Grass}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Bayleef}} starting at [[level]] 16, who evolves into {{p|Meganium}} starting at level 32.

Along with {{p|Cyndaquil}} and {{p|Totodile}}, it is one of the three [[starter Pokémon]] available at the beginning of {{game3|Gold and Silver|Pokémon Gold, Silver|s}}, {{v2|Crystal}}, {{game3|HeartGold and SoulSilver|HeartGold, and SoulSilver|s}}.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Chikorita is a small Pokémon, primarily a pale green color with darker green accentuations on its plant portions. Chikorita has a large head in proportion to the rest of its body, with large red eyes that appear to have no pupils. Chikorita has four short legs with a single nailed toe each, and a small tail. Chikorita’s most distinguishing feature is the large leaf on the top of its head, which is usually longer than the rest of its body. It has a "necklace" of small green buds around its neck.
====Gender differences====
None.
====Special abilities====
Chikorita can spawn vines from its neck and create leaves from the big leaf on its head. Like many Grass-type Pokémon, its foliage emits a {{m|Sweet Scent|sweet odor}} that has calming and {{M|Aromatherapy|healing}} properties. This leaf also has the ability to check the temperature and humidity of the surrounding air.

===Behavior===
Chikorita, like many Grass Pokémon, are very docile. It prefers to avoid fights by using the aromatherapeutic properties of the large leaf on its head. It spends most of its time sunbathing, although it is unclear if this is because it needs to photosynthesize, or if it is because Chikorita is cold blooded and needs to warm itself up. It appears to be sensitive to changes in its environment, and can use the leaf on its head to help purify the air around it. Chikorita are also sensitive emotionally, and become very upset when misunderstood.

===Habitat===
[[Image:Grassland.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Grassland Pokémon}}]]
Chikorita are rare Pokémon mostly found in large open plains or small forests with other Chikorita, Bayleef, and Meganium. They prefer warmer climates.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}
Chikorita spend a lot of time basking in the sun, so they may use photosynthesis to feed themselves.

==In the anime==
[[File:Kotone Chikorita.png|thumb|250px|right|Lyra with her Chikorita]]
===Major appearances===
====[[Ash's Bayleef|Ash's Chikorita]]====
{{Ash}} captured a {{AP|Chikorita}} in ''[[EP126|The Chikorita Rescue]]''. It had such high affections for Ash that sometimes came to a few faults, such as refusing to be switched out for {{AP|Pikachu}}. Ash's Chikorita evolved in ''[[EP199|Current Events]]''.

====[[Casey's Meganium|Casey's Chikorita]]====
Casey's Chikorita was first seen in ''[[EP118|The Double Trouble Header]]''. It was {{an|Casey}}'s [[starter Pokémon]]. It evolved into a {{p|Bayleef}} in ''[[EP161|The Bug Stops Here]]''.

[[File:Casey Chikorita.png|thumb|250px|right|Casey's Chikorita]]

====Other====
[[Vincent]] received a Chikorita as his starter Pokémon as seen in the opening of ''[[The Legend of Thunder!]]''.

{{an|Silver}} also owns a Chikorita, as seen in ''[[H018|The Search for the Legend]]''. It behaves much in the same way to him as {{AP|Pikachu}} does to {{Ash}}, including traveling on his shoulder.

A Chikorita was a member of [[Team Go-Getters]] in ''[[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Team Go-Getters out of the Gate!]]''.

Another Chikorita, under the ownership of {{an|Lyra}}, appears along with {{p|Totodile}} and {{p|Cyndaquil}} in ''[[DP143|An Egg Scramble!]]''. It battled [[Dawn's Piplup]]. It also subsequently appeared in [[DP147]]. It participated in the tag battle.

===Minor appearances===

A Chikorita appeared in ''[[AG159|Off The Unbeaten Path!]]''. It was in a field with Aron, Azurill, Smoochum and Igglybuff.

Another Chikorita has appeared in the [[Hearthome Collection]] in ''[[DP086|Arriving in Style!]]''.

Chikorita has a role in ''[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]'' alongside the other [[Johto]] starters, {{p|Cyndaquil}} and {{p|Totodile}}.

A Chikorita was used by one of the participants of [[Pokémon Ping Pong Tournament]] in ''[[DP124|To Thine Own Pokémon Be True!]]''.

==In the manga==
In [[Pokémon Adventures]], Chikorita is the last of the three starter Pokémon to get a trainer. It escapes from [[Professor Elm]] and follows {{adv|Crystal}} until she decides to accept it to her team, where it had to pass a test. Crystal's Chikorita wears a star pendant, formerly owned by {{p|Smoochum}}, who accepted Chikorita when its trainer did. It later evolves into a {{P|Bayleef}} to protect Crys from a {{P|Larvitar}}, then into {{p|Meganium}} during a fight with {{p|Lugia}}. Crys nicknamed it Megapon.

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

==Other appearances==
===[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]===
When released from a Poké Ball, Chikorita unleashes a {{m|Razor Leaf}} that hits any opponent in its path.

Chikorita is also a Pokéfloat. It is one of the smallest and floats around {{p|Psyduck}}.

====Trophy information====
Chikorita was one of the first three Pokémon available in [[Generation II|Pokémon Gold, Silver, and Crystal]]. A Grass-type Pokémon, it emits a delightful fragrance from the leaves on its head and loves to spend its time leisurely sunbathing. When called into battle, it uses its {{M|Razor Leaf}} move to strike at opponents' weak points.

[[Image:ChikoritaGame.jpg|thumb|right|Chikorita in Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]

===[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]===
Chikorita returns to do the same as it did in Melee, unleashing {{m|Razor Leaf}} on release from a Poké Ball. It swings its leaf around violently until the green blades fly directly in front of it for a few seconds.

====Trophy information====
A Leaf Pokémon. It loves sunbathing and can use the leaf on its head to check the temperature and humidity around it. Chikorita releases a sweet aroma from its leaf to becalm opponents into a slumber. It can also learn moves to help recover all Pokémon allies. Chikorita evolves into Bayleef by leveling up.

==Game data==
===NPC appearances===
* [[Pokémon Pinball: Ruby & Sapphire]]: When the ball hits the button in front of Chikorita on the Ruby Field, it will unleash a Razor Leaf that causes the two {{p|Linoone}} to pop out.

==Trivia==
* The Chikorita family is the only evolution family of a [[starter Pokémon]] to not have their names changed for the English release.
* In the anime, Chikorita has had the most Trainers out of the Johto starters. It has been trained by {{Ash}}, {{an|Casey}}, [[Vincent]], {{an|Silver}}, and {{an|Lyra}}. However, Ash is the only one who is confirmed to not have received Chikorita as a starter.
* Chikorita is the tallest out of the unevolved starters at 2 feet 11 inches (0.9 meters).
** Due to this, it is the only starter Pokémon from Generations I-III that cannot be used in the [[Pokémon Jump]] minigame.
*In {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}, Chikorita's body was yellow. It was changed to being light green in {{game|Crystal}} to match its official artwork.
===Origin===
Chikorita has similarities to {{wp|sauropod}}s.

====Name origin====
Chikorita's name is derived from ''{{wp|chicory}}'', a flowering plant and ''-ita'' the feminine form of the Spanish suffix for something small or young.

==In other languages==

'''Chikorita''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''チコリータ''' ''Chicorita'') is a {{type2|Grass}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Bayleef}} starting at [[level]] 16, who evolves into {{p|Meganium}} starting at level 32.

Along with {{p|Cyndaquil}} and {{p|Totodile}}, it is one of the three [[starter Pokémon]] available at the beginning of {{game3|Gold and Silver|Pokémon Gold, Silver|s}}, {{v2|Crystal}}, {{game3|HeartGold and SoulSilver|HeartGold, and SoulSilver|s}}.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Chikorita is a small Pokémon, primarily a pale green color with darker green accentuations on its plant portions. Chikorita has a large head in proportion to the rest of its body, with large red eyes that appear to have no pupils. Chikorita has four short legs with a single nailed toe each, and a small tail. Chikorita’s most distinguishing feature is the large leaf on the top of its head, which is usually longer than the rest of its body. It has a "necklace" of small green buds around its neck.
====Gender differences====
None.
====Special abilities====
Chikorita can spawn vines from its neck and create leaves from the big leaf on its head. Like many Grass-type Pokémon, its foliage emits a {{m|Sweet Scent|sweet odor}} that has calming and {{M|Aromatherapy|healing}} properties. This leaf also has the ability to check the temperature and humidity of the surrounding air.

===Behavior===
Chikorita, like many Grass Pokémon, are very docile. It prefers to avoid fights by using the aromatherapeutic properties of the large leaf on its head. It spends most of its time sunbathing, although it is unclear if this is because it needs to photosynthesize, or if it is because Chikorita is cold blooded and needs to warm itself up. It appears to be sensitive to changes in its environment, and can use the leaf on its head to help purify the air around it. Chikorita are also sensitive emotionally, and become very upset when misunderstood.

===Habitat===
[[Image:Grassland.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Grassland Pokémon}}]]
Chikorita are rare Pokémon mostly found in large open plains or small forests with other Chikorita, Bayleef, and Meganium. They prefer warmer climates.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}
Chikorita spend a lot of time basking in the sun, so they may use photosynthesis to feed themselves.

==In the anime==
[[File:Kotone Chikorita.png|thumb|250px|right|Lyra with her Chikorita]]
===Major appearances===
====[[Ash's Bayleef|Ash's Chikorita]]====
{{Ash}} captured a {{AP|Chikorita}} in ''[[EP126|The Chikorita Rescue]]''. It had such high affections for Ash that sometimes came to a few faults, such as refusing to be switched out for {{AP|Pikachu}}. Ash's Chikorita evolved in ''[[EP199|Current Events]]''.

====[[Casey's Meganium|Casey's Chikorita]]====
Casey's Chikorita was first seen in ''[[EP118|The Double Trouble Header]]''. It was {{an|Casey}}'s [[starter Pokémon]]. It evolved into a {{p|Bayleef}} in ''[[EP161|The Bug Stops Here]]''.

[[File:Casey Chikorita.png|thumb|250px|right|Casey's Chikorita]]

====Other====
[[Vincent]] received a Chikorita as his starter Pokémon as seen in the opening of ''[[The Legend of Thunder!]]''.

{{an|Silver}} also owns a Chikorita, as seen in ''[[H018|The Search for the Legend]]''. It behaves much in the same way to him as {{AP|Pikachu}} does to {{Ash}}, including traveling on his shoulder.

A Chikorita was a member of [[Team Go-Getters]] in ''[[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Team Go-Getters out of the Gate!]]''.

Another Chikorita, under the ownership of {{an|Lyra}}, appears along with {{p|Totodile}} and {{p|Cyndaquil}} in ''[[DP143|An Egg Scramble!]]''. It battled [[Dawn's Piplup]]. It also subsequently appeared in [[DP147]]. It participated in the tag battle.

===Minor appearances===
Another Chikorita has appeared in the [[Hearthome Collection]] in ''[[DP086|Arriving in Style!]]''.

Chikorita has a role in ''[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]'' alongside the other [[Johto]] starters, {{p|Cyndaquil}} and {{p|Totodile}}.

A Chikorita was used by one of the participants of [[Pokémon Ping Pong Tournament]] in ''[[DP124|To Thine Own Pokémon Be True!]]''.

==In the manga==
In [[Pokémon Adventures]], Chikorita is the last of the three starter Pokémon to get a trainer. It escapes from [[Professor Elm]] and follows {{adv|Crystal}} until she decides to accept it to her team, where it had to pass a test. Crystal's Chikorita wears a star pendant, formerly owned by {{p|Smoochum}}, who accepted Chikorita when its trainer did. It later evolves into a {{P|Bayleef}} to protect Crys from a {{P|Larvitar}}, then into {{p|Meganium}} during a fight with {{p|Lugia}}. Crys nicknamed it Megapon.

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

==Other appearances==
===[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]===
When released from a Poké Ball, Chikorita unleashes a {{m|Razor Leaf}} that hits any opponent in its path.

Chikorita is also a Pokéfloat. It is one of the smallest and floats around {{p|Psyduck}}.

====Trophy information====
Chikorita was one of the first three Pokémon available in [[Generation II|Pokémon Gold, Silver, and Crystal]]. A Grass-type Pokémon, it emits a delightful fragrance from the leaves on its head and loves to spend its time leisurely sunbathing. When called into battle, it uses its {{M|Razor Leaf}} move to strike at opponents' weak points.

[[Image:ChikoritaGame.jpg|thumb|right|Chikorita in Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]

===[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]===
Chikorita returns to do the same as it did in Melee, unleashing {{m|Razor Leaf}} on release from a Poké Ball. It swings its leaf around violently until the green blades fly directly in front of it for a few seconds.

====Trophy information====
A Leaf Pokémon. It loves sunbathing and can use the leaf on its head to check the temperature and humidity around it. Chikorita releases a sweet aroma from its leaf to becalm opponents into a slumber. It can also learn moves to help recover all Pokémon allies. Chikorita evolves into Bayleef by leveling up.

==Trivia==
* The Chikorita family is the only evolution family of a [[starter Pokémon]] to not have their names changed for the English release.
* In the anime, Chikorita has had the most Trainers out of the Johto starters. It has been trained by {{Ash}}, {{an|Casey}}, [[Vincent]], {{an|Silver}}, and {{an|Lyra}}. However, Ash is the only one who is confirmed to not have received Chikorita as a starter.
* Chikorita is the tallest out of the unevolved starters at 2 feet 11 inches (0.9 meters).
** Due to this, it is the only starter Pokémon from Generations I-III that cannot be used in the [[Pokémon Jump]] minigame.
*In {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}, Chikorita's body was yellow. It was changed to being light green in {{game|Crystal}} to match its official artwork.
===Origin===
Chikorita has similarities to {{wp|sauropod}}s.

====Name origin====
Chikorita's name is derived from ''{{wp|chicory}}'', a flowering plant and ''-ita'' the feminine form of the Spanish suffix for something small or young.

==In other languages==
*[[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Endivie - From ''{{wp|endive}}'', a vegetable related to the daisy.
*[[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Germignon - From ''germe'' (seed) and ''mignon'' (cute).
*[[List of Korean Pokémon names|Korean]]: 치코리타 ''Chikorita''
*[[List of Chinese Pokémon names|Chinese]]: 菊草葉

'''Ash's Bayleef''' (Japanese: '''サトシのベイリーフ''' ''Satoshi's Bayleaf'') was the second [[Pokémon]] that [[Ash Ketchum]] {{pkmn2|caught}} in the [[Johto]] region. Her voice actress in both Japanese and English is ''[[Mika Kanai]]''.

==History==
[[Image:ChikoritaRescue.jpg|thumb|left|As a Chikorita]]
Bayleef was introduced in ''[[EP126|The Chikorita Rescue]]'' as a {{p|Chikorita}}. Chikorita was especially stubborn, going so far as to fight against [[Ash's Charizard]] despite obvious overwhelming odds; she was injured in the process. [[Team Rocket]] tried to convince the stubborn Pokémon to join them, but Ash eventually won her confidence.

Chikorita later was used in ''[[EP127|Once In a Blue Moon]]'' to try getting the [[GS Ball]] back. However, Chikorita only wanted to be affectionate, so when Ash told Chikorita not to, Chikorita got angry and hit Ash with its leaf.

Chikorita developed what seemed to be a crush on Ash, constantly fighting for his attention and trying to get his approval. In Gym Battles, she lost to [[Falkner]]'s {{p|Hoothoot}} and defeated [[Bugsy]]'s {{p|Spinarak}}.

In ''[[EP199|Current Events]]'', Chikorita evolved into Bayleef to protect Ash from Team Rocket. However, it took a while for the amorous Pokémon to realize that she had grown so much - she continued to act as though she was still small enough to leap into Ash's arms for quite some time.

In Ash's Gym Battle against [[Chuck]], Bayleef defeated his Poliwrath and {{p|Machoke}}. At the Silver Conference she lost to [[Gary's Blastoise]] despite a type advantage, but made up for it the next day by defeating {{jo|Harrison}}'s {{p|Houndoom}}, against whom she had a type disadvantage. Ash left Bayleef with Professor Oak when he left for Hoenn.

Bayleef's personality is stubborn, sometimes violent, and passionate. She easily gets jealous of the attention Ash's other Pokémon receive - especially {{AP|Pikachu}}. Some of her more extreme personality traits seemed to have mellowed with evolution, however.

==Trivia==
* Chikorita was the only Pokémon that Ash owned that evolved during the Johto saga. Despite this, he also had another evolved Pokémon: {{AP|Noctowl}}.
**Bayleef is the only Pokémon that Ash currently owns that is in its middle evolution, outside of his current party. The Pokémon in his party in this same state are Pikachu and Grotle.
* Chikorita took as many episodes to evolve as another Pokémon that had a crush on Ash: {{TP|Dawn|Aipom}}. They were both {{cat|Generation II Pokémon}} before their evolution as well, and their Japanese names are both very similar to their English names. Both are also confirmed to be female, and both Pokémon also use their Japanese voices in the dub.
* Bayleef is the only one of Ash's current Pokémon to be confirmed as a female. Aipom is also a female, but was traded to {{an|Dawn}} and then left under [[O]]'s care for training.
* Bayleef is the 25th Pokémon species that Ash obtained, including evolutions and not counting {{TP|Sabrina|Haunter}} as it was not officially his.
* Bayleef was the second starter Pokémon caught by Ash to evolve, the first being Charizard.

Bayleef's personality is stubborn, sometimes violent, and passionate. She easily gets jealous of the attention Ash's other Pokémon receive - especially {{AP|Pikachu}}. Some of her more extreme personality traits seemed to have mellowed with evolution, however.

==Trivia==
* Chikorita was the only Pokémon that Ash owned that evolved during the Johto saga. Despite this, he also had another evolved Pokémon: {{AP|Noctowl}}.
**Bayleef is the only Pokémon that Ash currently owns that is in its middle evolution, outside of his current party. The Pokémon in his party in this same state are Pikachu and Grotle.
* Chikorita took as many episodes to evolve as another Pokémon that had a crush on Ash: {{TP|Dawn|Aipom}}. They were both {{cat|Generation II Pokémon}} before their evolution as well, and their Japanese names are both very similar to their English names. Both are also confirmed to be female, and both Pokémon also use their Japanese voices in the dub.
* Bayleef is the only one of Ash's current Pokémon to be confirmed as a female. Aipom is also a female, but was traded to {{an|Dawn}} and then left under [[O]]'s care for training.
* Bayleef is the 25th Pokémon species that Ash obtained, including evolutions and not counting {{TP|Sabrina|Haunter}} as it was not officially his.
* Bayleef was the second starter Pokémon caught by Ash to evolve, the first being Charizard.

'''Kenny's Prinplup''' (Japanese: '''ケンゴのポッタイシ''' ''Kengo's Pottaishi'') is {{Si|Kenny}}'s main [[Pokémon]] in the {{pkmn|anime}}. It is also his [[starter Pokémon]]. It is voiced by 小西克幸 ''[[Katsuyuki Konishi]]'' in Japanese and by [[Bill Rogers]] in English.

==History==
Prinplup was first seen in ''[[DP026|Getting the Pre-Contest Titters!]]''. It proved to be very strong when it was battling against {{Ash}}'s {{AP|Pikachu}} despite its disadvantage. In [[DP027|the next episode]], it put up a good fight against [[Dawn's Piplup]]. At first Prinplup didn't want to be friends with its weaker, pre-evolved form, but after being saved by Piplup, they soon became friends.

Prinplup appears in a flashback in ''[[DP034|Buizel Your Way Out of This!]]''.

Prinplup also made a cameo with Kenny in ''[[DP055|Throwing the Track Switch]]''. It won Kenny a ribbon on TV.

It appeared in ''[[DP060|Journey to the Unown!]]''. It appeared at the start with Kenny.

Prinplup was next seen in ''[[DP061|Team Shocker!]]'' where it helped Kenny get to the final round of the [[Solaceon Town]] {{pkmn|Contest}}, but eventually lost to [[Jessie's Dustox]].

Prinplup again made a cameo with Kenny on [[television]] in ''[[DP106|A Breed Stampede!]]''. It is shown that it has helped him earned his third [[ribbon]].

It also appeared in ''[[DP122|Stopped in the Name of Love]]'', alongside [[Barry's Empoleon]] and [[Dawn's Piplup]]. In [[DP123|the following episode]], it defeated [[Dawn's Ambipom]] in the [[Sandalstraw Town]] {{pkmn|Contest}}, earning Kenny his fourth ribbon.

'''Paul's Torterra''' (Japanese: '''シンジのドダイトス''' ''Shinji's Dodaitose'') is a {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} owned by [[Paul]]. It is his strongest Pokémon and his {{pkmn2|starter}} as well. It is voiced by ''[[Unshō Ishizuka]]'' in Japanese and [[Jimmy Zoppi|Billy Beach]] in English.

==History==
Torterra made its first appearance in ''[[DP040|Top-Down Training!]]'' where it was used in a battle against [[Cynthia]]'s {{TP|Cynthia|Garchomp}}. Despite having many powerful attacks such as {{m|Giga Drain}} and {{m|Frenzy Plant}}, it was defeated easily.

In ''[[DP051|Glory Blaze!]]'', it was attacking {{AP|Chimchar}}.

It also appeared in ''[[DP052|Smells Like Team Spirit!]]'' where it was used in the semi-finals of the [[Hearthome City Tag Battle Competition]]. It was paired off with {{AP|Ash's Staravia|Staraptor}} and was up against [[Brock's Croagunk]] and [[Holly]]'s {{p|Farfetch'd}}. It defeated both its opponents single-handedly.
[[File:PaulTurtwig.png|left|thumb|220px|As a Turtwig in a flashback]]
Torterra appeared again in ''[[DP100|Aiding the Enemy!]]'' where it saw the battle between [[Ash's Grotle|Ash's Turtwig]] and [[Paul's Honchkrow]]. It also witnessed the evolution of Turtwig and its loss of speed. While Grotle was training to become faster, Torterra came forwards on its own to show it that a Pokémon could still be powerful by coping with its lack of speed with strong defense. To prove this, it battled against [[Ash's Gliscor]] in a practice match. After teaching this, Torterra returned to Paul's camp. Paul, while curious as to where Torterra had gone, did not push the issue.

In ''[[DP127|Sliding Into Seventh!]]'', Torterra appeared in a flashback after Gliscor defeated [[Candice|Candice's]] [[Sneasel (Pokemon)|Sneasel]].

Torterra appeared as a {{p|Turtwig}} in a flashback in ''[[DP128|A Pyramiding Rage!]]'' watching [[Reggie]]'s battle against {{FB|Pyramid King|Brandon}} at the {{DL|Battle Frontier (Generation III)|Battle Pyramid}}.

It appeared again during Ash and Paul's [[full battle]] in ''[[DP131|Pedal to the Mettle!]]''. It fought against Ash's Gliscor and Ash's Staraptor before being recalled. In ''[[DP132|Evolving Strategies!]]'', it fought against [[Ash's Monferno|Ash's Chimchar]], where it was shown to control its {{m|Stone Edge}} at will to mow down its faster opponents. It then defeated Gliscor before being recalled when [[Ash's Pikachu]] was sent out.

It appeared again in a flashback in ''[[DP133|Uncrushing Defeat!]]'' when Ash was remembering it battling Gliscor. He later had another flashback of this at the end of ''[[DP141|Challenging a Towering Figure!]]''.

From what's been seen of its personality, it appears to be calmer and kinder than Paul or his other Pokémon, as it actually went out of its way, and likely against Paul's wishes, to help Ash's Grotle improve its fighting skill.

* This is the second time one of Ash's rivals have had an evolved form of a starter Pokémon that Ash owns. The first is {{Gary}} who owned a {{TP|Gary|Blastoise}}. It could also be noted that both Pokémon were the rival's starter Pokémon, they are both turtle-like Pokémon, they both were seen for the first time in their final form, have never been seen in their mid-evolved forms which are also seen to be owned by a main character and were seen in their first form in flashbacks.

'''Paul's Torterra''' (Japanese: '''シンジのドダイトス''' ''Shinji's Dodaitose'') is a {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} owned by [[Paul]]. It is his strongest Pokémon and his {{pkmn2|starter}} as well. It is voiced by ''[[Unshō Ishizuka]]'' in Japanese and [[Jimmy Zoppi|Billy Beach]] in English.

==History==
Torterra made its first appearance in ''[[DP040|Top-Down Training!]]'' where it was used in a battle against [[Cynthia]]'s {{TP|Cynthia|Garchomp}}. Despite having many powerful attacks such as {{m|Giga Drain}} and {{m|Frenzy Plant}}, it was defeated easily.

In ''[[DP051|Glory Blaze!]]'', it was attacking [[AP|Infernape|Chimchar]].

It also appeared in ''[[DP052|Smells Like Team Spirit!]]'' where it was used in the semi-finals of the [[Hearthome City Tag Battle Competition]]. It was paired off with {{AP|Ash's Staravia|Staraptor}} and was up against [[Brock's Croagunk]] and [[Holly]]'s {{p|Farfetch'd}}. It defeated both its opponents single-handedly.
[[File:PaulTurtwig.png|left|thumb|220px|As a Turtwig in a flashback]]
Torterra appeared again in ''[[DP100|Aiding the Enemy!]]'' where it saw the battle between [[Ash's Grotle|Ash's Turtwig]] and [[Paul's Honchkrow]]. It also witnessed the evolution of Turtwig and its loss of speed. While Grotle was training to become faster, Torterra came forwards on its own to show it that a Pokémon could still be powerful by coping with its lack of speed with strong defense. To prove this, it battled against [[Ash's Gliscor]] in a practice match. After teaching this, Torterra returned to Paul's camp. Paul, while curious as to where Torterra had gone, did not push the issue.

In ''[[DP127|Sliding Into Seventh!]]'', Torterra appeared in a flashback after Gliscor defeated [[Candice|Candice's]] [[Sneasel (Pokemon)|Sneasel]].

Torterra appeared as a {{p|Turtwig}} in a flashback in ''[[DP128|A Pyramiding Rage!]]'' watching [[Reggie]]'s battle against {{FB|Pyramid King|Brandon}} at the {{DL|Battle Frontier (Generation III)|Battle Pyramid}}.

It appeared again during Ash and Paul's [[full battle]] in ''[[DP131|Pedal to the Mettle!]]''. It fought against Ash's Gliscor and Ash's Staraptor before being recalled. In ''[[DP132|Evolving Strategies!]]'', it fought against [[Ash's Monferno|Ash's Chimchar]], where it was shown to control its {{m|Stone Edge}} at will to mow down its faster opponents. It then defeated Gliscor before being recalled when [[Ash's Pikachu]] was sent out.

It appeared again in a flashback in ''[[DP133|Uncrushing Defeat!]]'' when Ash was remembering it battling Gliscor. He later had another flashback of this at the end of ''[[DP141|Challenging a Towering Figure!]]''.

From what's been seen of its personality, it appears to be calmer and kinder than Paul or his other Pokémon, as it actually went out of its way, and likely against Paul's wishes, to help Ash's Grotle improve its fighting skill.

'''Empoleon''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''エンペルト''' ''Emperte'') is a dual-type {{2t|Water|Steel}} Pokémon.

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

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Empoleon is a large penguin-like Pokémon. In terms of color, it has a closer resemblance to a "real-world" penguin than its pre-evolved forms have because it is mostly navy blue as opposed to being a lighter blue. Its feet actually appear to have webbing on them. Its wings are tipped with blue metal and have three golden claws sticking out at the bottom. It has a short, blue, metal "fin" sticking out of its back and another "fin" that's on the front of its body that extends to where its chin would be then splits to form some sort of collar. There is a lace-like pattern of white coloration on its front, and it has two gold-colored spots on its upper-back. Its most prominent feature is the three-horned trident-like crest that extends from its beak. This crest represents an Empoleon's power and the leader of a colony of Empoleon, Prinplup, and Piplup will have the largest horns.
====Gender differences====
None.

====Special abilities====
Empoleon can swim faster than a jet boat and, by using its razor sharp wings, can cut huge glaciers in a matter of seconds. It can also learn any attack that its pre-evolutions can learn, but Empoleon's attacks are stronger. As a fully-evolved Pokémon (and the final evolution of a {{type2|Water}} [[starter Pokémon]]), Empoleon can learn {{m|Hyper Beam}}, {{m|Giga Impact}}, and {{m|Hydro Cannon}}.

===Behavior===
Given their immense pride, Empoleon are surprisingly social creatures. They live in large colonies led by the oldest and most powerful male. The leader has the largest horns on its head.

===Habitat===
Wild Empoleon live in ice shelves in very cold climates.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

==In the anime==
[[File:Kai's Empoleon.png‎|thumb|right|250px|Empoleon in the anime]]
Empoleon first appeared in the {{pkmn|movie}} ''[[M10|The Rise of Darkrai]]'' under the ownership of a {{pkmn|Trainer}} named {{mov|Kai}}. He used it to battle [[Brock's Croagunk]].

{{TP|Barry|Empoleon}} made its debut appearance in the {{pkmn|anime}} in ''[[DP101|Barry's Busting Out All Over!]]'' under the ownership of {{an|Barry}}.

==Trivia==
* No other Pokémon has the same [[Elemental type|type]] [[List of Pokémon with unique type combinations|combination]] as Empoleon.
* Empoleon is the only [[starter Pokémon]] that loses both its weakness and resistance against the initial types of the other two starter Pokémon in its final evolution, having no weakness or resistance against {{type2|Grass}} and {{type2|Fire}} attacks. It instead gains weakness to both {{p|Torterra}} (a {{type2|Ground}}) ''and'' {{p|Infernape}} (a {{type2|Fighting}}). Perhaps to compensate for this, Empoleon is tied for the fourth most resistant Pokémon of all, as explained below.
* Empoleon has the highest base {{Stat|Special Attack}} of any final-form starter Pokémon, being just one point above {{p|Blaziken}}'s.
* Empoleon is tied with {{p|Swampert}} for the second lowest base {{stat|Speed}} of all final evolution starter Pokémon (with the only slower one being {{p|Torterra}}).
**However, all three (Empoleon, {{p|Swampert}}, and {{p|Torterra}}) have considerably higher Defense and Special Defense compared to the other final evolution starter Pokémon of their regions ({{P|Sceptile}}'s Defense and both of {{P|Blaziken}}'s defensive stats are considerably lower than Swampert's, while both of Infernape's defensive stats are low compared to either Empoleon or Torterra in Sinnoh).
* Empoleon is the only {{type2|Steel}} Pokémon related to a starter Pokémon.
* Empoleon has eleven resistances and one immunity, the second most resistances of any Pokémon. It is surpassed only by {{p|Magnemite}} and its evolutions, who have twelve resistances and one immunity. It shares this position with {{p|Mawile}} and two legendary Pokémon, {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Registeel}}.
* Empoleon is one of the only two {{type2|Steel}} Pokémon that resist {{t|Water}} attacks, together with Dialga.
** Empoleon is also one of the only two non-Ice-types that doubly resist {{t|Ice}}, together with {{P|Heatran}}.
* Empoleon is one of the three Pokémon that get [[Same-type attack bonus|STAB]] from {{m|Steel Wing}}. The other two are {{p|Scizor}} and {{p|Skarmory}}.
* Empoleon, along with Prinplup, are the only Pokémon that can learn both {{m|Pound}} and {{m|Tackle}}.
* Out of all the starter Pokémon of all the regions, Empoleon can learn the most HM moves with seven. The only one it can't learn is {{m|Fly}}, even though it has wings, probably due to it being based on a penguin, a flightless bird.
===Origin===
Empoleon is based on an {{wp|emperor penguin}} and an emperor-in reference to its crown (which also resembles an anchor) and royal appearance. Also, the crown has the appearance of a {{wp|trident}}. It also bears some resemblance to the {{wp|royal penguin}}.
====Name origin====
Empoleon's name comes from ''Emperor'' (being as it is based on an emperor penguin) and {{wp|Napoleon Bonaparte|Napoleon}}, Emperor of France. Its Japanese name comes from ''emperor'' and ''Bonaparte'', Napoleon's last name.

==In other languages==

'''Piplup''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ポッチャマ''' ''Pochama'') is a {{type2|Water}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Prinplup}} starting at [[level]] 16, who evolves into {{p|Empoleon}} starting at [[level]] 36.

Along with {{p|Turtwig}} and {{p|Chimchar}}, it is one of the three [[starter Pokémon]] the {{player}} can choose at the beginning of {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Piplup resembles a penguin chick and also looks a little bit like {{p|Torchic}}. It has yellow feet and a light-blue body. There are two white spots on its chest that seem to resemble buttons on a suit. It also appears to have a blue cape. It has a circular, blue head with white circles around its eyes and a small, yellow beak.

====Gender differences====
None.
====Special abilities====
Piplup mainly know how to use Water attacks such as {{m|Bubble}}, but they also know {{m|peck}}ing moves.

===Behavior===
Piplup have a large sense of self-pride. Because of this, a Piplup has a hard time accepting food from humans. Piplup is a poor walker, and often falls down. Its pride, however, makes it puff up its chest without a care. It is a skilled swimmer, diving for over ten minutes to hunt. In the anime, it can sometimes fly short distances, despite penguins not being able to fly.

===Habitat===
Piplup live along the sea shore in colder climates. However, Piplup are quite rare and they're usually given out by [[Professor Rowan]] to new [[Pokémon Trainer]]s in the [[Sinnoh]] region.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}
Piplup dives for over ten minutes to hunt, presumably fish like its 'real-world' basis, the penguin.

==In the anime==
[[Image:Piplup.jpg|thumb|{{TP|Dawn|Piplup}} in the anime]]
{{an|Dawn}} began her journey in [[Sinnoh]] with a {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}}. In ''[[DP001|Following a Maiden's Voyage]]'', Piplup and the starter {{p|Chimchar}} got into a fight over their food, with Piplup causing chaos by using BubbleBeam on the interior of [[Professor Rowan]]'s lab in pursuit of Chimchar. The two escape, and Dawn is given the task of finding them. She finds Piplup, and the two narrowly escape an {{p|Ariados}} attack. Back at Rowan's lab, Chimchar having been found by Rowan's {{p|Staraptor}}, Dawn chooses Piplup.

As the {{series|Diamond & Pearl}} continued, Dawn kept Piplup out of its [[Poké Ball]] more and more often, much like {{Ash}} does with his {{AP|Pikachu}}.

{{Si|Kenny}} also had a Piplup at one time. It evolved into {{TP|Kenny|Prinplup}} before his first appearance.

[[Tyler]], a rookie {{pkmn|Trainer}} that appears in ''[[DP080|The Thief That Keeps on Thieving!]]'', has a Piplup which appears to be female. He uses it to try capturing a [[Yanma (Pokemon)|Yanma]].

A Piplup, who used to be a human, is also one of the two main members of [[Team Poképals]] in the ''[[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time & Darkness]]''.

===Pokédex entries===

{{Animedexbody|DP003|Piplup|Ash's Pokédex|Piplup, the Penguin Pokémon. It's very proud, and its thick down protects it from the cold.}}
{{Animedexbody|DP143|Piplup|Lyra's Pokédex|Piplup, the Penguin Pokémon. Although not the most sure-footed, it is proud nonetheless, getting right back up after a fall with head held high. }}
{{Animedexfooter/Pokémon|''Diamond & Pearl''|Sinnoh}}

==In the manga==
===Pokémon Adventures===
Much like her anime counterpart, {{adv|Platinum}} of [[Pokémon Adventures]] began her journey with a Piplup. Unlike Dawn's, however, it eventually [[Evolution|evolved]] into a {{p|Prinplup}}, and later, into an {{p|Empoleon}}.

===Pokémon Diamond and Platinum Adventure!===
[[Hareta]] randomly selects Piplup to battle the enraged {{p|Onix}} in the [[DPA01|first chapter]]. After their first encounter with Onix, Hareta chooses Piplup as his first [[Pokémon]]. Piplup is originally disobedient to Hareta, but listens to him in order to defeat the Onix in their second battle.

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

==Other appearances==
[[File:Piplup Brawl 2.jpg|thumb|Piplup in Super Smash Bros. Brawl.]]
===[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]===
On being released from a [[Poké Ball]], Piplup slides along the stage using {{m|Surf}}. Anyone caught in it will be pushed, possibly off the stage.

==Trivia==
* Piplup is the only Water-type starter Pokémon that can't learn {{m|Water Gun}}.
* Piplup is the second [[starter Pokémon]] based on a bird, the first being {{p|Torchic}}. Coincidentally, neither evolve into a {{type2|Flying}}, as both are based on flightless birds.
* Piplup is the most selected [[Sinnoh]] starter in the {{pkmn|anime}}. It has been the starter of {{an|Dawn}}, {{si|Kenny}}, and [[Tyler]]. 

===Origin===
Piplup is based on a baby {{wp|penguin}} or a Blue penguin.

====Name origin====
Piplup may be derived from "Pip", a stage of growth in baby birds immediately before they hatch from the eggshell, and possibly "plop" or "plup", the sound of hitting the water.

Also, the name "Piplup" may come from the Greek noun, "Piplos", which means "cloth" or "robe", which may refer to {{p|Empoleon|Piplup's final evolved form}} being based on an Emperor Penguin - as Greek Emperors used to wear robes.

Pochama may be derived from 坊っちゃま ''botchama'', meaning {{wp|child}}, with the ''P'' perhaps coming from ''{{wp|penguin}}''. It may also be based on ぽちゃぽちゃ ''pochapocha'', which means either splashing in water or having a plump appearance. Alternatively, it may be derived from おぼっちゃま ''obotchama'', a term that refers to children with wealthy parents.

==In other languages==
*[[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Plinfa - From ''plip'' (the sound of something small hitting a water surface) and ''infant''.
*[[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Tiplouf

==Trivia==
* Infernape is the only final form [[Sinnoh]] [[starter Pokémon]] not to have a unique [[Elemental type|type combination]].
**It is also the only final form of a Sinnoh starter not to be immune to {{m|Sandstorm}}.
** It is also the only dual-typed starter that shares its typing with another starter, {{p|Blaziken}}.
* Infernape has the second-highest Speed of the starters ({{p|Sceptile}} ranks first).
* Although its [[Pokédex]] entry says that "this Pokémon is beaten by none in terms of quickness" its base Speed is the 34th highest of all Pokémon.
* Infernape shares the same [[species]] name as {{p|Charmeleon}}, {{p|Charizard}}, {{p|Flareon}}, and {{p|Moltres}}. They are all known as Flame Pokémon.
* Infernape is the first fully evolved form of a [[starter Pokémon]] to be used by a {{EF|Flint|member}} of any [[Elite Four]], not counting the Champion.
* Infernape is both the fastest Fire-type and the fastest Fighting-type Pokémon, with a base speed of 108.
* It is the shortest fully evolved main series starter Pokémon to date, being only three feet and eleven inches tall.
* Infernape is the only final form Sinnoh starter Pokémon not to have an immunity, as {{p|Empoleon}} is immune to {{t|Poison}} attacks and {{p|Torterra}} is immune to {{t|Electric}} attacks.

===Origin===
Infernape is based on a {{wp|monkey}}. The gold elements in his design seem to indicate this, and his name can also be linked to Japanese interpretations of the character (e.g. Son '''Goku'''). Infernape is most likely based off the martial art {{wp|Muay Thai}} which uses all the limbs. It also seems to reference the {{wp|Monkey Kung Fu}}, another type of martial arts.
====Name origin====
Goukazaru is a combination of 業火 ''gōka'', hellfire or inferno, and 猿 ''saru'', ape. Infernape is a combination of ''inferno'' and ''ape''.

==In other languages==
*[[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Panferno - From ''Schimpanse'' (chimpanzee) and ''inferno''.
*[[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Simiabraz - From ''{{wp|simian}}'' and ''braise'' (ember).

[[Image:Ash Infernape.png|250px|thumb|right|Ash's Infernape in the anime]]
Infernape made its first appearance in ''[[M10|The Rise of Darkrai]]'', under the ownership of [[Allegra]]. It battled against [[Brock's Croagunk]], and alongside [[Maury]]'s Torterra and {{mov|Kai}}'s Empoleon to stop the consequences of {{an|Dialga}} and {{an|Palkia}}'s battle.

An Infernape appears in one of the bubbles in the very beginning of [[Arceus and the Jewel of Life]].

[[Ash's Infernape|Ash's Monferno]] evolved into an Infernape in [[DP163]]. Along with that, an Infernape under [[Flint]]'s command is likely to appear in [[DP165]].

==In the manga==
In the ''[[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Adventure!]]'' manga, [[Mitsumi]] is shown to have an Infernape.
===Pokémon Adventures===
{{adv|Pearl}} owns a {{p|Chimchar}}, named [[Chimhiko]] who later evolves into a {{p|Monferno}}, and then into an Infernape.

==Trivia==
* Infernape is the only final form [[Sinnoh]] [[starter Pokémon]] not to have a unique [[Elemental type|type combination]].
**It is also the only final form of a Sinnoh starter not to be immune to {{m|Sandstorm}}.
** It is also the only dual-typed starter that shares its typing with another starter, {{p|Blaziken}}.
* Infernape has the second-highest Speed of the starters ({{p|Sceptile}} ranks first).
* Although its [[Pokédex]] entry says that "this Pokémon is beaten by none in terms of quickness" its base Speed is the 34th highest of all Pokémon.
* Infernape shares the same [[species]] name as {{p|Charmeleon}}, {{p|Charizard}}, {{p|Flareon}}, and {{p|Moltres}}. They are all known as Flame Pokémon.
* Infernape is the first fully evolved form of a [[starter Pokémon]] to be used by a {{EF|Flint|member}} of any [[Elite Four]], not counting the Champion.
* Infernape is both the fastest Fire-type and the fastest Fighting-type Pokémon, with a base speed of 108.
* It is the shortest fully evolved main series starter Pokémon to date, being only three feet and eleven inches tall.
* Infernape is the only final form Sinnoh starter Pokémon not to have an immunity, as {{p|Empoleon}} is immune to {{t|Poison}} attacks and {{p|Torterra}} is immune to {{t|Electric}} attacks.

===Origin===
Infernape is based on a {{wp|monkey}}. The gold elements in his design seem to indicate this, and his name can also be linked to Japanese interpretations of the character (e.g. Son '''Goku'''). Infernape is most likely based off the martial art {{wp|Muay Thai}} which uses all the limbs. It also seems to reference the {{wp|Monkey Kung Fu}}, another type of martial arts.
====Name origin====
Goukazaru is a combination of 業火 ''gōka'', hellfire or inferno, and 猿 ''saru'', ape. Infernape is a combination of ''inferno'' and ''ape''.

==In other languages==
*[[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Panferno - From ''Schimpanse'' (chimpanzee) and ''inferno''.
*[[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Simiabraz - From ''{{wp|simian}}'' and ''braise'' (ember).

'''Monferno''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''モウカザル''' ''Moukazaru'') is a dual-type {{2t|Fire|Fighting}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Chimchar}} starting at [[level]] 14, and evolves into {{p|Infernape}} starting at level 36.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Monferno is a chimpanzee-like Pokémon with baboon-like features. Much of Monferno's hair is a bright orange color, appearing shaggier on the top of Monferno's feet. Monferno now has an evident tail, unlike its {{p|Chimchar|previous form}}. Its tail is similar to those of {{p|Charmander}}, {{p|Charmeleon}}, and {{p|Charizard}}, all of whom have flames at the tips, although the flame on Monferno’s tail is much more spindly, and the base of the tail has a patch of red coloration. Monferno’s snout, ears, belly, three-toed feet, five fingers and the circular marking on its palms are all a shade of beige. It has a spiky ruff of white hair around its neck and gold arm bands. Monferno has blue markings above its eyes and red markings between them on its face. Monferno has small fangs, orange eyelids and a small crest of orange hair.
====Gender differences====
None.

====Special abilities====
Monferno's abilities are similar to Chimchar's, only stronger. Monferno is capable of a few [[Fighting-type]] moves; such as {{m|Close Combat}} and {{m|Focus Blast}}, as well as {{m|Flare Blitz}}.

===Behavior===
As the ''playful Pokémon'', Monferno are naturally playful. However, they use fierce martial arts techniques. Monferno often uses its tail flame as a weapon. When threatened, it increases the size of its flame in order to appear larger than it really is, which is useful in scaring off attacking foes.

==Trivia==
*Much like the Charmander family, the flame on Monferno's tail will become smaller when it's not feeling well.
===Origin===
Monferno may be based on a {{wp|mandrill}}, a creature similar to a baboon. It also appears to be a direct impression of the {{wp|Monkey Kung Fu}}, a type of martial arts, which could explain its {{type2|Fighting}} half.
====Name origin====
Moukazaru is a combination of the words 猛火 ''mōka'', roaring flames, and 猿 ''saru'', {{wp|ape}}. Monferno is a combination of ''monkey'' and ''inferno''.

'''Monferno''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''モウカザル''' ''Moukazaru'') is a dual-type {{2t|Fire|Fighting}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Chimchar}} starting at [[level]] 14, and evolves into {{p|Infernape}} starting at level 36.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Monferno is a chimpanzee-like Pokémon with baboon-like features. Much of Monferno's hair is a bright orange color, appearing shaggier on the top of Monferno's feet. Monferno now has an evident tail, unlike its {{p|Chimchar|previous form}}. Its tail is similar to those of {{p|Charmander}}, {{p|Charmeleon}}, and {{p|Charizard}}, all of whom have flames at the tips, although the flame on Monferno’s tail is much more spindly, and the base of the tail has a patch of red coloration. Monferno’s snout, ears, belly, three-toed feet, five fingers and the circular marking on its palms are all a shade of beige. It has a spiky ruff of white hair around its neck and gold arm bands. Monferno has blue markings above its eyes and red markings between them on its face. Monferno has small fangs, orange eyelids and a small crest of orange hair.
====Gender differences====
None.

====Special abilities====
Monferno's abilities are similar to Chimchar's, only stronger. Monferno is capable of a few [[Fighting-type]] moves; such as {{m|Close Combat}} and {{m|Focus Blast}}, as well as {{m|Flare Blitz}}.

===Behavior===
As the ''playful Pokémon'', Monferno are naturally playful. However, they use fierce martial arts techniques. Monferno often uses its tail flame as a weapon. When threatened, it increases the size of its flame in order to appear larger than it really is, which is useful in scaring off attacking foes.

===Diet===

==In the anime==

==Trivia==
*Much like the Charmander family, the flame on Monferno's tail will become smaller when it's not feeling well.
===Origin===
Monferno may be based on a {{wp|mandrill}}, a creature similar to a baboon. It also appears to be a direct impression of the {{wp|Monkey Kung Fu}}, a type of martial arts, which could explain its {{type2|Fighting}} half.
====Name origin====
Moukazaru is a combination of the words 猛火 ''mōka'', roaring flames, and 猿 ''saru'', {{wp|ape}}. Monferno is a combination of ''monkey'' and ''inferno''.

'''Chimchar''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ヒコザル''' ''Hikozaru'') is a {{type2|Fire}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Monferno}} starting at [[level]] 14, who evolves into {{p|Infernape}} starting at [[level]] 36.

Along with {{p|Turtwig}} and {{p|Piplup}}, it is one of the three [[starter Pokémon]] the {{player}} can choose at the beginning of {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}.

==Biology==
[[Image:No flame Chimchar.jpg|right|thumb|A sleeping Chimchar - note the lack of a flame]]
===Physiology===
Chimchar are chimpanzee-like Pokémon, primarily a shade of orange, but with light yellow on its face, outer ears, underbelly, hands and feet. The flames on their rears are produced by burning gas in their stomachs. The flames do not go out in the rain, and, unlike the tail flames of Charmander, those of Chimchar go out when they go to sleep. Although difficult to spot (due to Chimchar’s tail flame usually obscuring it), Chimchar has a small, rounded patch of red coloration on its rear. Chimchar’s ears are large in comparison to its head size, and have red ear insides. Chimchar have red markings above and to the sides of their eyes, a swirl-like symbol on its chest and five fingers on its hands with three toes on its feet.
====Gender differences====
None.

====Special abilities====
Chimchar is capable of several Fire-typed moves such as {{m|Ember}} and {{m|Flame Wheel}}. It also knows a few {{t|Fighting}} and {{type2|Dark}} moves such as {{m|Brick Break}}, {{m|Vacuum Wave}}, {{m|Nasty Plot}} and {{m|Taunt}}. Unlike its fellow Fire-types, Chimchar can learn {{m|Grass Knot}}.

===Behavior===
Much like their real world counterpart, Chimchar are very inquisitive and are prone to mischief, but can show bravery when push comes to shove. Being very agile, Chimchar are able to climb the rocky ledges of tall mountains, where they live. Despite being based on chimpanzees, Chimchar's [[cry]] is actually much more similar to that of a spider monkey.

===Habitat===
Chimchar are very rare and only make their nests in cliffsides and rocky mountains.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

==In the anime==
[[Image:Chimchar-anime.jpg|right|thumb|210px|{{AP|Chimchar}} in the anime]]
Chimchar first appeared in ''[[DP001|Following a Maiden Voyage]]''. The little fire-monkey was teasing a {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}} after stealing food from it. Piplup then started firing a {{m|Bubble}} attack, but Chimchar kept jumping out of the way. {{p|Staraptor}} was hit in Piplup's line of fire and created a {{m|Gust}} that wrecked everything in [[Professor Rowan]]'s lab. Chimchar jumped out of a broken window with Piplup chasing after it.

When [[Paul]] first appeared, he commanded a {{TP|Paul|Chimchar}} in ''[[DP003|When Pokémon Worlds Collide]]''. Paul released it in ''[[DP051|Glory Blaze]]'', allowing {{Ash}} to catch it in ''[[DP052|Smells Like Team Spirit]]''. It evolved into {{AP|Monferno}} in ''[[DP132|Evolving
Strategies!]]''.

In ''[[DP004|Dawn of a New Era!]]'', a Trainer at the Pokemon Center had a Chimchar.

[[Alice]] from ''[[The Rise of Darkrai]]'' owns a Chimchar. She uses it to power her hot air balloon with [[Flamethrower (move)|Flamethrower]]. It later appeared in the end credits of [[Arceus and the Jewel of Life]].

Chimchar is also one of the two main members of [[Team Poképals]] of ''[[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time & Darkness]]''.

A Chimchar also appeared in ''[[DP126|Classroom Training!]]''. It was battling a [[Turtwig (Pokemon)|Turtwig]] at the Trainers School.

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

==Other appearances==
===Super Smash Bros. Brawl===
Chimchar is a trophy in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]].
====Trophy information====
A Chimp Pokémon. With a flaming tail, Chimchar is skilled in [[Fire-type]] moves. Its light body affords it the ability to scale steep cliffs and live atop rocky mountains. Some say that the fiery tail is fueled by gas made in its stomach. Not even rain can put out the flames, but Chimchar always puts out the fire when asleep. Chimchar evolves into {{P|Monferno}}.

==Trivia==
* Chimchar is the only [[starter Pokémon]] in the {{egg3|Humanshape}}.
* Chimchar is the only Pokémon to learn {{m|Facade}} by level up.
* Although Chimchar has no evident tail, it can be taught {{m|Iron Tail}}.
* Chimchar, along with {{p|Cyndaquil}}, are the only two starter Pokémon that evolve at level 14, the lowest level starters evolve at. Coincidentally, both are the Fire-type choice in the regions introduced in an even-numbered generation, and both are the only mammal-inspired starter Pokémon in any generation
* Chimchar's color palette was changed slightly in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, despite it being a non-Johto Pokémon. This also happened to {{p|Torterra}}, {{p|Registeel}}, {{p|Stunky}}, {{p|Skuntank}}, {{p|Glameow}}, {{p|Purugly}}, and {{p|Chatot}}.
* Chimchar is the only unevolved non-legendary {{type2|Fire}} Pokémon to be introduced in Generation IV.
* Chimchar is the only Sinnoh starter Pokémon that does not learn a move that affects both foes in a double battle: {{p|Turtwig}} learns {{m|Razor Leaf}}, while {{p|Piplup}} learns {{m|Bubble}}.

===Origin===
Chimchar appears to be based on a young {{wp|monkey}}. The fiery tail mirrors {{p|Charmander}}, and the two Pokémon share the root ''char'' in their name. This is mirrored in their Japanese names, '''Hi'''kozaru (Chimchar) and '''Hi'''tokage (Charmander), sharing the element 火 ''hi'', meaning "fire".

====Name origin====
Hikozaru's name is derived from 火 ''hi'', or ''{{wp|fire}}'', 子 ''ko'', or ''{{wp|child}}'', and 猿 ''saru'', or ''{{wp|monkey}}''. ''Zaru'' is used to describe an {{wp|ape}}. Chimchar comes from ''{{wp|chimp}}'' and ''char'' or ''{{wp|charcoal}}''.

==In other languages==
*[[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Panflam - From ''Schimpanse'' (chimpanzee) and ''Flamme'' (flame).
*[[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Ouisticram - From ''ouistiti'' ({{wp|marmoset}}) and ''cramé'' (burnt).
*[[List of Korean Pokémon names|Korean]]: 불꽃숭이 ''Bulkkotsung'i'' - From the words 불꽃 ''Bulkkot'' (flame) and 원숭이 ''Wonsung'i'' (monkey).

'''Turtwig''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ナエトル''' ''Naetle'') is a {{type2|Grass}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Grotle}} starting at [[level]] 18, who evolves into {{p|Torterra}} starting at [[level]] 32.

Along with {{p|Chimchar}} and {{p|Piplup}}, it is one of the three [[starter Pokémon]] the {{player}} can choose at the beginning of {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Turtwig's appearance is characteristic of a turtle or tortoise, and it is primarily light green in coloration. Its prominent, yellow-colored jawbone may denote a relationship to the snapping turtle. Its green and yellow body is covered by a shell. A small seedling grows on a brown-colored patch on its head, similar to the plant bulb on {{p|Bulbasaur}}'s back and the leaf on {{p|Chikorita}}'s head, the plant part revealing its Grass-type nature. The brown shell on its back has a thick black stripe and rim, and is apparently made of {{t|Ground|earth}}. Turtwig’s eyes are yellow, as are its feet, and Turtwig’s tail is small.

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

====Special abilities====
Turtwig can utilize the [[Weather conditions#Intense sunlight|Sun]] in order to use moves like {{m|Synthesis}} and {{m|SolarBeam}}. Its rock hard shell provides great defense but reduces its speed. Turtwig receives a huge {{a|Overgrow|power boost}} to its {{type2|Grass}} moves when it is weary from battle. Turtwig are also capable of many other Grass-type moves such as {{m|Razor Leaf}} and {{m|Giga Drain}}.

===Behavior===
Turtwig is a Pokémon that tends to be non-violent. As a show of affection, some Turtwig have been known to chomp their trainer's head. The leaf on its head will wilt if it becomes thirsty. As a result, it lives in areas that are close to lakes.

Turtwig is also sometimes either shy and lazy, or outgoing and protective.

===Habitat===
Turtwig are somewhat scarce in the wild. They're usually given to young [[Pokémon Trainer]]s as a [[starter Pokémon]] by [[Professor Rowan]]. Turtwig can be found living along lakes in dense forests.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}
As a plant-based Pokémon, Turtwig usually nourishes itself through photosynthesis. It can eat [[berry|berries]] like other Pokémon. It also drinks water, which hardens its soil-based shell. On a very healthy Turtwig, the shell should feel moist.

==In the anime==
[[Image:Turtwig-anime.jpg|thumb|210px|[[Ash's Grotle|Ash's Turtwig]]]]
Turtwig made its debut appearance in ''[[DP001|Following a Maiden Voyage]]''. It was a starter Pokemon [[Professor Rowan]] was giving out. It had a relaxing nature.

Another Turtwig appeared in ''[[DP004|Dawn of a New Era!]]''. It was under the ownership of a trainer at the [[Pokemon Center]].

{{Ash}} obtained his {{AP|Turtwig|Grotle}} in ''[[DP005|Gettin' Twiggy With It]]''. It eventually evolved in ''[[DP100|Aiding the Enemy!]]''.

The [[Gym Leader]] [[Gardenia]] has a {{TP|Gardenia|Turtwig}} that first appeared in ''[[DP031|The Grass-Type is Always Greener!]]''. It was used in the gym battle against Ash in ''[[DP037|The Grass Menagerie]]''. It defeated {{AP|Staravia|Staraptor}}, but lost to Ash's Turtwig.

Another Turtwig also appeared in ''[[DP126|Classroom Training!]]''. A young boy was using it at the Trainers School to battle a {{p|Chimchar}}.

[[Paul]]'s starter was a Turtwig, which has fully evolved into a {{TP|Paul|Torterra}}. It appeared as a Turtwig in a flashback with Paul in ''[[DP128|A Pyramiding Rage!]]'' where it was watching [[Reggie]] battle [[Pyramid King Brandon|Brandon]].

{{Animedexfooter/Pokémon|''Diamond & Pearl''|Sinnoh}}

==In the manga==
{{adv|Diamond}} owns a Turtwig, which he nicknamed "[[Wig]]" in [[Pokémon Adventures]], which evolved into a {{p|Grotle}} simultaneously with [[Chimhiko]] ({{adv|Pearl}}'s {{p|Chimchar}}), and {{adv|Platinum}}'s {{p|Piplup}} in [[Eterna City]], and then again in [[Veilstone City]] into a {{p|Torterra}} along with Chimhiko.

'''Turtwig''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ナエトル''' ''Naetle'') is a {{type2|Grass}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Grotle}} starting at [[level]] 18, who evolves into {{p|Torterra}} starting at [[level]] 32.

Along with {{p|Chimchar}} and {{p|Piplup}}, it is one of the three [[starter Pokémon]] the {{player}} can choose at the beginning of {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Turtwig's appearance is characteristic of a turtle or tortoise, and it is primarily light green in coloration. Its prominent, yellow-colored jawbone may denote a relationship to the snapping turtle. Its green and yellow body is covered by a shell. A small seedling grows on a brown-colored patch on its head, similar to the plant bulb on {{p|Bulbasaur}}'s back and the leaf on {{p|Chikorita}}'s head, the plant part revealing its Grass-type nature. The brown shell on its back has a thick black stripe and rim, and is apparently made of {{t|Ground|earth}}. Turtwig’s eyes are yellow, as are its feet, and Turtwig’s tail is small.

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

====Special abilities====
Turtwig can utilize the [[Weather conditions#Intense sunlight|Sun]] in order to use moves like {{m|Synthesis}} and {{m|SolarBeam}}. Its rock hard shell provides great defense but reduces its speed. Turtwig receives a huge {{a|Overgrow|power boost}} to its {{type2|Grass}} moves when it is weary from battle. Turtwig are also capable of many other Grass-type moves such as {{m|Razor Leaf}} and {{m|Giga Drain}}.

===Behavior===
Turtwig is a Pokémon that tends to be non-violent. As a show of affection, some Turtwig have been known to chomp their trainer's head. The leaf on its head will wilt if it becomes thirsty. As a result, it lives in areas that are close to lakes.

Turtwig is also sometimes either shy and lazy, or outgoing and protective.

===Habitat===
Turtwig are somewhat scarce in the wild. They're usually given to young [[Pokémon Trainer]]s as a [[starter Pokémon]] by [[Professor Rowan]]. Turtwig can be found living along lakes in dense forests.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}
As a plant-based Pokémon, Turtwig usually nourishes itself through photosynthesis. It can eat [[berry|berries]] like other Pokémon. It also drinks water, which hardens its soil-based shell. On a very healthy Turtwig, the shell should feel moist.

==In the anime==
[[Image:Turtwig-anime.jpg|thumb|210px|[[Ash's Grotle|Ash's Turtwig]]]]
Turtwig made its debut appearance in ''[[DP001|Following a Maiden Voyage]]''. It was a starter Pokemon [[Professor Rowan]] was giving out. It had a relaxing nature.

Another Turtwig appeared in ''[[DP004|Dawn of a New Era!]]''. It was under the ownership of a trainer at the [[Pokemon Center]].

{{Ash}} obtained his {{AP|Turtwig|Grotle}} in ''[[DP005|Gettin' Twiggy With It]]''. It eventually evolved in ''[[DP100|Aiding the Enemy!]]''.

The [[Gym Leader]] [[Gardenia]] has a {{TP|Gardenia|Turtwig}} that first appeared in ''[[DP031|The Grass-Type is Always Greener!]]''. It was used in the gym battle against Ash in ''[[DP037|The Grass Menagerie]]''. It defeated {{AP|Staravia|Staraptor}}, but lost to Ash's Turtwig.

Another Turtwig also appeared in ''[[DP126|Classroom Training!]]''. A young boy was using it at the Trainers School to battle a {{p|Chimchar}}.

[[Paul]]'s starter was a Turtwig, which has fully evolved into a {{TP|Paul|Torterra}}. It appeared as a Turtwig in a flashback with Paul in ''[[DP128|A Pyramiding Rage!]]'' where it was watching [[Reggie]] battle [[Pyramid King Brandon|Brandon]].

==In the manga==
{{adv|Diamond}} owns a Turtwig, which he nicknamed "[[Wig]]" in [[Pokémon Adventures]], which evolved into a {{p|Grotle}} simultaneously with [[Chimhiko]] ({{adv|Pearl}}'s {{p|Chimchar}}), and {{adv|Platinum}}'s {{p|Piplup}} in [[Eterna City]], and then again in [[Veilstone City]] into a {{p|Torterra}} along with Chimhiko.

'''Turtwig''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ナエトル''' ''Naetle'') is a {{type2|Grass}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Grotle}} starting at [[level]] 18, who evolves into {{p|Torterra}} starting at [[level]] 32.

Along with {{p|Chimchar}} and {{p|Piplup}}, it is one of the three [[starter Pokémon]] the {{player}} can choose at the beginning of {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Turtwig's appearance is characteristic of a turtle or tortoise, and it is primarily light green in coloration. Its prominent, yellow-colored jawbone may denote a relationship to the snapping turtle. Its green and yellow body is covered by a shell. A small seedling grows on a brown-colored patch on its head, similar to the plant bulb on {{p|Bulbasaur}}'s back and the leaf on {{p|Chikorita}}'s head, the plant part revealing its Grass-type nature. The brown shell on its back has a thick black stripe and rim, and is apparently made of {{t|Ground|earth}}. Turtwig’s eyes are yellow, as are its feet, and Turtwig’s tail is small.

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

====Special abilities====
Turtwig can utilize the [[Weather conditions#Intense sunlight|Sun]] in order to use moves like {{m|Synthesis}} and {{m|SolarBeam}}. Its rock hard shell provides great defense but reduces its speed. Turtwig receives a huge {{a|Overgrow|power boost}} to its {{type2|Grass}} moves when it is weary from battle. Turtwig are also capable of many other Grass-type moves such as {{m|Razor Leaf}} and {{m|Giga Drain}}.

===Behavior===
Turtwig is a Pokémon that tends to be non-violent. As a show of affection, some Turtwig have been known to chomp their trainer's head. The leaf on its head will wilt if it becomes thirsty. As a result, it lives in areas that are close to lakes.

Turtwig is also sometimes either shy and lazy, or outgoing and protective.

===Habitat===
Turtwig are somewhat scarce in the wild. They're usually given to young [[Pokémon Trainer]]s as a [[starter Pokémon]] by [[Professor Rowan]]. Turtwig can be found living along lakes in dense forests.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}
As a plant-based Pokémon, Turtwig usually nourishes itself through photosynthesis. It can eat [[berry|berries]] like other Pokémon. It also drinks water, which hardens its soil-based shell. On a very healthy Turtwig, the shell should feel moist.

==In the anime==
[[Image:Turtwig-anime.jpg|thumb|210px|[[Ash's Grotle|Ash's Turtwig]]]]
Turtwig made its debut appearance in ''[[DP001|Following a Maiden Voyage]]''. It was a starter Pokemon [[Professor Rowan]] was giving out. It had a relaxing nature.

Another Turtwig appeared in ''[[DP004|Dawn of a New Era!]]''. It was under the ownership of a trainer at the [[Pokemon Center]].

{{Ash}} obtained his {{AP|Turtwig|Grotle}} in ''[[DP005|Gettin' Twiggy With It]]''. It eventually evolved in ''[[DP100|Aiding the Enemy!]]''.

The [[Gym Leader]] [[Gardenia]] has a {{TP|Gardenia|Turtwig}} that first appeared in ''[[DP031|The Grass-Type is Always Greener!]]''. It was used in the gym battle against Ash in ''[[DP037|The Grass Menagerie]]''. It defeated {{AP|Staravia|Staraptor}}, but lost to Ash's Turtwig.

Another Turtwig also appeared in ''[[DP126|Classroom Training!]]''. A young boy was using it at the Trainers School to battle a {{p|Chimchar}}.

[[Paul]]'s starter was a Turtwig, which has fully evolved into a {{TP|Paul|Torterra}}. It appeared as a Turtwig in a flashback with Paul in ''[[DP128|A Pyramiding Rage!]]'' where it was watching [[Reggie]] battle [[Pyramid King Brandon|Brandon]].

==In the manga==
{{adv|Diamond}} owns a Turtwig, which he nicknamed "[[Wig]]" in [[Pokémon Adventures]], which evolved into a {{p|Grotle}} simultaneously with [[Chimhiko]] ({{adv|Pearl}}'s {{p|Chimchar}}), and {{adv|Platinum}}'s {{p|Piplup}} in [[Eterna City]], and then again in [[Veilstone City]] into a {{p|Torterra}} along with Chimhiko.

===Origin===
Turtwig is based on a {{wp|snapping turtle}} with plant characteristics.
====Name origin====
Turtwig is a combination of ''{{wp|turtle}}'' and ''twig''. Naetle is derived from 苗 ''nae'', the Japanese word for ''{{wp|Sprouting|sprout}}'', and ''turtle''.

'''Turtwig''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ナエトル''' ''Naetle'') is a {{type2|Grass}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Grotle}} starting at [[level]] 18, who evolves into {{p|Torterra}} starting at [[level]] 32.

Along with {{p|Chimchar}} and {{p|Piplup}}, it is one of the three [[starter Pokémon]] the {{player}} can choose at the beginning of {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Turtwig's appearance is characteristic of a turtle or tortoise, and it is primarily light green in coloration. Its prominent, yellow-colored jawbone may denote a relationship to the snapping turtle. Its green and yellow body is covered by a shell. A small seedling grows on a brown-colored patch on its head, similar to the plant bulb on {{p|Bulbasaur}}'s back and the leaf on {{p|Chikorita}}'s head, the plant part revealing its Grass-type nature. The brown shell on its back has a thick black stripe and rim, and is apparently made of {{t|Ground|earth}}. Turtwig’s eyes are yellow, as are its feet, and Turtwig’s tail is small.

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

====Special abilities====
Turtwig can utilize the [[Weather conditions#Intense sunlight|Sun]] in order to use moves like {{m|Synthesis}} and {{m|SolarBeam}}. Its rock hard shell provides great defense but reduces its speed. Turtwig receives a huge {{a|Overgrow|power boost}} to its {{type2|Grass}} moves when it is weary from battle. Turtwig are also capable of many other Grass-type moves such as {{m|Razor Leaf}} and {{m|Giga Drain}}.

===Behavior===
Turtwig is a Pokémon that tends to be non-violent. As a show of affection, some Turtwig have been known to chomp their trainer's head. The leaf on its head will wilt if it becomes thirsty. As a result, it lives in areas that are close to lakes.

Turtwig is also sometimes either shy and lazy, or outgoing and protective.

===Habitat===
Turtwig are somewhat scarce in the wild. They're usually given to young [[Pokémon Trainer]]s as a [[starter Pokémon]] by [[Professor Rowan]]. Turtwig can be found living along lakes in dense forests.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

As a plant-based Pokémon, Turtwig usually nourishes itself through photosynthesis. It can eat [[berry|berries]] like other Pokémon. It also drinks water, which hardens its soil-based shell. On a very healthy Turtwig, the shell should feel moist.

==In the anime==
[[Image:Turtwig-anime.jpg|thumb|210px|[[Ash's Grotle|Ash's Turtwig]]]]
Turtwig made its debut appearance in ''[[DP001|Following a Maiden Voyage]]''. It was a starter Pokemon [[Professor Rowan]] was giving out. It had a relaxing nature.

Another Turtwig appeared in ''[[DP004|Dawn of a New Era!]]''. It was under the ownership of a trainer at the ''[[Pokemon Center]]''.

{{Ash}} obtained his {{AP|Turtwig|Grotle}} in ''[[DP005|Gettin' Twiggy With It]]''. It eventually evolved in ''[[DP100|Aiding the Enemy!]]''.

The [[Gym Leader]] [[Gardenia]] has a {{TP|Gardenia|Turtwig}} that first appeared in ''[[DP031|The Grass-Type is Always Greener!]]''. It was used in the gym battle against Ash in ''[[DP037|The Grass Menagerie]]''. It defeated {{AP|Staravia|Staraptor}}, but lost to ''[[Ash|Ash's Turtwig.

Another Turtwig also appeared in ''[[DP126|Classroom Training!]]''. A young boy was using it at the Trainers School to battle a [[Chimchar (Pokemon)|Chimchar]].

[[Paul]]'s starter was a Turtwig, which has fully evolved into a {{TP|Paul|Torterra}}. It appeared as a Turtwig in a flashback with Paul in ''[[DP128|A Pyramiding Rage!]]'' where it was watching [[Reggie]] battle [[Pyramid King Brandon|Brandon]].

==Trivia==
*Turtwig is the heaviest of the basic forms of all of the {{pkmn2|starter}}s.
*Turtwig, along with {{p|Totodile}}, are the only starters who evolve at level 18. This is also the highest level a starter Pokémon evolves through level-up.
*Turtwig is the only starter Pokémon that knows {{m|Withdraw|a move}} that is neither {{type2|Normal}} nor its primary type when given to the player.

===Origin===
Turtwig is based on a {{wp|snapping turtle}} with plant characteristics.
====Name origin====
Turtwig is a combination of ''{{wp|turtle}}'' and ''twig''. Naetle is derived from 苗 ''nae'', the Japanese word for ''{{wp|Sprouting|sprout}}'', and ''turtle''.

'''Turtwig''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ナエトル''' ''Naetle'') is a {{type2|Grass}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Grotle}} starting at [[level]] 18, who evolves into {{p|Torterra}} starting at [[level]] 32.

Along with {{p|Chimchar}} and {{p|Piplup}}, it is one of the three [[starter Pokémon]] the {{player}} can choose at the beginning of {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Turtwig's appearance is characteristic of a turtle or tortoise, and it is primarily light green in coloration. Its prominent, yellow-colored jawbone may denote a relationship to the snapping turtle. Its green and yellow body is covered by a shell. A small seedling grows on a brown-colored patch on its head, similar to the plant bulb on {{p|Bulbasaur}}'s back and the leaf on {{p|Chikorita}}'s head, the plant part revealing its Grass-type nature. The brown shell on its back has a thick black stripe and rim, and is apparently made of {{t|Ground|earth}}. Turtwig’s eyes are yellow, as are its feet, and Turtwig’s tail is small.

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

====Special abilities====
Turtwig can utilize the [[Weather conditions#Intense sunlight|Sun]] in order to use moves like {{m|Synthesis}} and {{m|SolarBeam}}. Its rock hard shell provides great defense but reduces its speed. Turtwig receives a huge {{a|Overgrow|power boost}} to its {{type2|Grass}} moves when it is weary from battle. Turtwig are also capable of many other Grass-type moves such as {{m|Razor Leaf}} and {{m|Giga Drain}}.

===Behavior===
Turtwig is a Pokémon that tends to be non-violent. As a show of affection, some Turtwig have been known to chomp their trainer's head. The leaf on its head will wilt if it becomes thirsty. As a result, it lives in areas that are close to lakes.

Turtwig is also sometimes either shy and lazy, or outgoing and protective.

===Habitat===
Turtwig are somewhat scarce in the wild. They're usually given to young [[Pokémon Trainer]]s as a [[starter Pokémon]] by [[Professor Rowan]]. Turtwig can be found living along lakes in dense forests.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

As a plant-based Pokémon, Turtwig usually nourishes itself through photosynthesis. It can eat [[berry|berries]] like other Pokémon. It also drinks water, which hardens its soil-based shell. On a very healthy Turtwig, the shell should feel moist.

==In the anime==
[[Image:Turtwig-anime.jpg|thumb|210px|[[Ash's Grotle|Ash's Turtwig]]]]
Turtwig made its debut appearance in ''[[DP001|Following a Maiden Voyage]]''. It was a starter Pokemon [[Professor Rowan]] was giving out. It had a relaxing nature.

Another Turtwig appeared in ''[[DP004|Dawn of a New Era!]]''. It was under the ownership of a trainer at the ''[[Pokemon Center]]''.

{{Ash}} obtained his {{AP|Turtwig|Grotle}} in ''[[DP005|Gettin' Twiggy With It]]''. It eventually evolved in ''[[DP100|Aiding the Enemy!]]''.

The [[Gym Leader]] [[Gardenia]] has a {{TP|Gardenia|Turtwig}} that first appeared in ''[[DP031|The Grass-Type is Always Greener!]]''. It was used in the gym battle against Ash in ''[[DP037|The Grass Menagerie]]''. It defeated {{AP|Staravia|Staraptor}}, but lost to ''[[Ash|Ash's Turtwig.

Another Turtwig also appeared in ''[[DP126|Classroom Training!]]''. A young boy was using it at the Trainers School to battle a [[Chimchar (Pokemon]|Chimchar]].

[[Paul]]'s starter was a Turtwig, which has fully evolved into a {{TP|Paul|Torterra}}. It appeared as a Turtwig in a flashback with Paul in ''[[DP128|A Pyramiding Rage!]]'' where it was watching [[Reggie]] battle [[Pyramid King Brandon|Brandon]].

==In the manga==
{{adv|Diamond}} owns a Turtwig, which he nicknamed "[[Wig]]" in [[Pokémon Adventures]], which evolved into a {{p|Grotle}} simultaneously with [[Chimhiko]] ({{adv|Pearl}}'s {{p|Chimchar}}), and {{adv|Platinum}}'s {{p|Piplup}} in [[Eterna City]], and then again in [[Veilstone City]] into a {{p|Torterra}} along with Chimhiko.

==Trivia==
*Turtwig is the heaviest of the basic forms of all of the {{pkmn2|starter}}s.
*Turtwig, along with {{p|Totodile}}, are the only starters who evolve at level 18. This is also the highest level a starter Pokémon evolves through level-up.
*Turtwig is the only starter Pokémon that knows {{m|Withdraw|a move}} that is neither {{type2|Normal}} nor its primary type when given to the player.

===Origin===
Turtwig is based on a {{wp|snapping turtle}} with plant characteristics.
====Name origin====
Turtwig is a combination of ''{{wp|turtle}}'' and ''twig''. Naetle is derived from 苗 ''nae'', the Japanese word for ''{{wp|Sprouting|sprout}}'', and ''turtle''.

==In other languages==

'''Turtwig''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ナエトル''' ''Naetle'') is a {{type2|Grass}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Grotle}} starting at [[level]] 18, who evolves into {{p|Torterra}} starting at [[level]] 32.

Along with {{p|Chimchar}} and {{p|Piplup}}, it is one of the three [[starter Pokémon]] the {{player}} can choose at the beginning of {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Turtwig's appearance is characteristic of a turtle or tortoise, and it is primarily light green in coloration. Its prominent, yellow-colored jawbone may denote a relationship to the snapping turtle. Its green and yellow body is covered by a shell. A small seedling grows on a brown-colored patch on its head, similar to the plant bulb on {{p|Bulbasaur}}'s back and the leaf on {{p|Chikorita}}'s head, the plant part revealing its Grass-type nature. The brown shell on its back has a thick black stripe and rim, and is apparently made of {{t|Ground|earth}}. Turtwig’s eyes are yellow, as are its feet, and Turtwig’s tail is small.

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

====Special abilities====
Turtwig can utilize the [[Weather conditions#Intense sunlight|Sun]] in order to use moves like {{m|Synthesis}} and {{m|SolarBeam}}. Its rock hard shell provides great defense but reduces its speed. Turtwig receives a huge {{a|Overgrow|power boost}} to its {{type2|Grass}} moves when it is weary from battle. Turtwig are also capable of many other Grass-type moves such as {{m|Razor Leaf}} and {{m|Giga Drain}}.

===Behavior===
Turtwig is a Pokémon that tends to be non-violent. As a show of affection, some Turtwig have been known to chomp their trainer's head. The leaf on its head will wilt if it becomes thirsty. As a result, it lives in areas that are close to lakes.

Turtwig is also sometimes either shy and lazy, or outgoing and protective.

===Habitat===
Turtwig are somewhat scarce in the wild. They're usually given to young [[Pokémon Trainer]]s as a [[starter Pokémon]] by [[Professor Rowan]]. Turtwig can be found living along lakes in dense forests.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

As a plant-based Pokémon, Turtwig usually nourishes itself through photosynthesis. It can eat [[berry|berries]] like other Pokémon. It also drinks water, which hardens its soil-based shell. On a very healthy Turtwig, the shell should feel moist.

==In the anime==
[[Image:Turtwig-anime.jpg|thumb|210px|[[Ash's Grotle|Ash's Turtwig]]]]
Turtwig made its debut appearance in ''[[DP001|Following a Maiden Voyage]]''. It was a starter Pokemon [[Professor Rowan]] was giving out. It had a relaxing nature.

Another Turtwig appeared in ''[[DP004|Dawn of a New Era!]]''. It was under the ownership of a trainer at the ''[[Pokemon Center]]''.

{{Ash}} obtained his {{AP|Turtwig|Grotle}} in ''[[DP005|Gettin' Twiggy With It]]''. It eventually evolved in ''[[DP100|Aiding the Enemy!]]''.

The [[Gym Leader]] [[Gardenia]] has a {{TP|Gardenia|Turtwig}} that first appeared in ''[[DP031|The Grass-Type is Always Greener!]]''. It was used in the gym battle against Ash in ''[[DP037|The Grass Menagerie]]''. It defeated {{AP|Staravia|Staraptor}}, but lost to ''[[Ash|Ash's Turtwig.

Another Turtwig also appeared in ''[[DP126|Classroom Training!]]''. A young boy was using it at the Trainers School to battle a ''[[Chimchar (Pokemon]|Chimchar.

[[Paul]]'s starter was a Turtwig, which has fully evolved into a {{TP|Paul|Torterra}}. It appeared as a Turtwig in a flashback with Paul in ''[[DP128|A Pyramiding Rage!]]'' where it was watching [[Reggie]] battle ''[[Pyramid King Brandon|Brandon]]''.

==In the manga==
{{adv|Diamond}} owns a Turtwig, which he nicknamed "[[Wig]]" in [[Pokémon Adventures]], which evolved into a {{p|Grotle}} simultaneously with [[Chimhiko]] ({{adv|Pearl}}'s {{p|Chimchar}}), and {{adv|Platinum}}'s {{p|Piplup}} in [[Eterna City]], and then again in [[Veilstone City]] into a {{p|Torterra}} along with Chimhiko.

==Trivia==
*Turtwig is the heaviest of the basic forms of all of the {{pkmn2|starter}}s.
*Turtwig, along with {{p|Totodile}}, are the only starters who evolve at level 18. This is also the highest level a starter Pokémon evolves through level-up.
*Turtwig is the only starter Pokémon that knows {{m|Withdraw|a move}} that is neither {{type2|Normal}} nor its primary type when given to the player.

===Origin===
Turtwig is based on a {{wp|snapping turtle}} with plant characteristics.
====Name origin====
Turtwig is a combination of ''{{wp|turtle}}'' and ''twig''. Naetle is derived from 苗 ''nae'', the Japanese word for ''{{wp|Sprouting|sprout}}'', and ''turtle''.

===Synopsis===

Ho-Oh is flying in the sky and Ash and Pikachu are running after it. The logo appears. Ash throws a Poke Ball and out comes Infernape in a tornado of flames. It then faces off against Entei, which uses [[Flamethrower]]. Buizel uses [[SonicBoom]] against a Darkrai. Darkrai then uses [[Dark Pulse]]. Pikachu is up against a Lucario. Lucario fires an [[Aura Sphere]]. Pikachu dodges and uses [[Iron Tail]]. Brock's Croagunk uses [[Brick Break]]. Dawn appears. All of her Pokemon come out of Poke Balls. First Piplup and Pachirisu, then Mamoswine and Cyndaquil, and lastly Buneary and Togekiss. Zoey, Ursula, Nando, Kenny and Jessalina. Brock looks up in the sky and sees Latios, Latias, Articuno, Zapdos and Moltres. Then they fly overhead as Ash, Pikachu, Dawn, Brock, Infernape, Torterra, Buizel, Gible, Staraptor, Sudowoodo, Croagunk, Happiny, Piplup, Pachirisu, Buneary, Mamoswine and Cyndaquil. Team Rocket are on their Magikarp sub when a Kyogre jumps out of the water. So does a Lugia. Groudon bursts out of the ground. It then fires a [[Hyper Beam]]. Lugia fires [[Aeroblast]] and Kyogre uses [[Ice Beam]]. They collide and cause an explosion. Team Rocket are floating in space and Mew and Mewtwo fly past. Then Rayquaza knocks them away. Deoxys then flies past. Ash, Dawn, Brock, Pikachu, and Piplup are in a meadow. Jirachi and Celebi are flying over a pond that Manaphy jumps out of. Ash and co. are talking to Uxie, Mesprit and Azelf.

'''Rattata''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''コラッタ''' ''Koratta'') is a {{type2|Normal}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolve]]s into {{p|Raticate}} starting at [[level]] 20.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Rattata is a small, but unspecialized rodent. Its most notable feature is its large teeth. Like most rodents their teeth grow continuously throughout its life, and must be constantly worn down by gnawing. It has long whiskers and a long, slightly curled tail. Rattata has purple fur on its back, and cream colored fur on its stomach. This coloration (dark on top, light on bottom) is a common protective mechanism for many small animals.
====Gender differences====
A female has shorter whiskers.

====Special abilities====
Rattata have very basic survival needs, permitting them to thrive in nearly any environment. Because they reproduce so quickly, a pair of Rattata can quickly colonize an area. Rattata are also very quick, and their teeth grow constantly.

===Behavior===
Rattata have a fast metabolism. As a result, it spends most of its fast-paced life looking for food. Thanks to their sharp fangs, they are able to eat nearly anything. However, because they constantly need to chew on hard material to keep their teeth at a manageable length, it is hard to tell if they are actually eating something, or merely gnawing on it. When they are threatened, Rattata can deliver a powerful bite. In addition to its highly unspecialized diet, Rattata will also build their nests virtually anywhere. They are a common sight in many places, and can become a nuisance due to their rapid reproductive rate. It is said that for every one Rattata, forty other are hidden somewhere. Most young {{pkmn|Trainer}}s will train Rattata due to their easy accessibility.
===Habitat===
[[Image:Grassland.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Grassland Pokémon}}]]
Rattata naturally live in plains and savannas. However, they are found in most areas due to their ability to survive nearly any environment.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

Rattata are not picky when it comes to food, and will eat nearly anything edible. However, they're sometimes found in possession of the {{OBP|Chilan Berry|Generation IV}}.

In the [[EP001|first episode]] of the anime series, Ash's Pokédex also states that Rattata "likes cheese, nuts, fruit and berries... [and will] steal food from [[Ash Ketchum|''stupid'' travelers]]."

==In the anime==
[[Image:Rattatanime.jpg|200px|thumb|right|Rattata in [[EP001|the first episode]]]]
===Major appearances===
Rattata debuted in the [[EP001|first episode]] of the [[Pokémon anime|series]], trying to steal food from {{Ash}}'s bag.

[[A.J.]] has three Rattata, as shown in ''[[EP008|The Path to the Pokémon League]]''.

{{an|Casey}} also has a Rattata, whose only appearance was in ''[[EP118|The Double Trouble Header]]''. It is unknown what became of this Rattata in her later appearances.

===Minor appearances===
A Rattata was used by one of the students of the [[Pokémon Trainer's School]] in ''[[AG015|Gonna Rule The School!]]''.

Rattata appeared in ''[[DP061|Team Shocker!]]'' under the ownership of a coordinator.

Many Rattata appeared in ''[[DP071|Pokémon Ranger and the Kidnapped Riolu! Part One]]''.

A Rattata appeared in ''[[DP088|Camping It Up!]]''.

Groups of several Rattata appeared in ''[[DP109|Leading a Stray!]]'' and ''[[DP110|Steeling Peace of Mind!]]''.

A Rattata also appeared in [[DP140]].

Several Rattata appeared in [[Arceus and the Jewel of Life]] in the fight against [[Marcus]], joining Chikorita, Cyndaquil and Totodile.

===Pokédex entries===
{{Animedexheader|Kanto}}
{{Animedexbody|EP001|Rattata|Ash's Pokédex|A Forest Pokémon, Rattata. It likes [[Pokémon food|cheese, nuts, fruits]], and [[Berry|berries]]. It also comes out into open fields to steal food from {{Ash|stupid travelers}}.}}
{{Animedexfooter/Pokémon|original|Kanto}}

==In the manga==
===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
Rattata's first appearance is a cameo in the {{chap|Red, Green & Blue}} in ''[[PS002|Bulbasaur, Come Home!]]'' as one of the Pokémon that escapes from [[Professor Oak's Laboratory]]. However Rattata doesn't debut until ''[[PS009|...But Fearow Itself!]]'' when [[Bill]] is transformed into one in an accident with his Pokémon transporter.

A Rattata is {{adv|Yellow}}'s first Pokémon (nicknamed "[[Ratty]]") that later evolves into a {{p|Raticate}}. Also, {{adv|Gold}} has a friend that specializes in training Rattata, based on the {{game|Gold and Silver|s}} character, [[Youngster]] [[Joey]].

==Trivia==
* Rattata's name originally had a "K" at the end, but it was dropped.
* Rattata is notorious for being associated with the [[Appendix:F.E.A.R.|F.E.A.R.]] strategy.
* Rattata and {{p|Raticate}} share the same [[species]] name with {{p|Pikachu}}, {{p|Raichu}}, {{p|Sandshrew}}, and {{p|Sandslash}}. They are all known as Mouse Pokémon, though Rattata and Raticate have also been called Rat Pokémon in Generations I and II. Rattata and Raticate's species name was changed to 'Mouse' in Generation III onwards.
* Rattata and its evolution comprise the first two-stage evolutionary family in National Dex order.
* Out of all the {{type2|Normal}} Pokémon found in the first [[route]] of each [[region]] (Rattata, {{p|Sentret}}, {{p|Zigzagoon}}, and {{p|Bidoof}}), Rattata has the highest [[base stats|base stat total]].
* Rattata is the first pure {{type2|Normal}} in National Dex order.
===Origin===
It is obviously based on a {{wp|rat}}.

====Name origin====
Rattata's name obviously incorporates ''rat'' into it, and the etymology of ''tata'' is most likely a combination of ''rat'' and ''attack'', especially when compared to its beta name, "Rattatak". ''Koratta'' is derived from the prefix 小 ''ko'', small, and ''rat''.

==In other languages==
*[[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Rattfratz - A combination of ''Ratte'' (rat) and ''Fratz'' (rascal).
*[[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Rattata
*[[List of Korean Pokémon names|Korean]]: 꼬렛 ''Kkoret''
*[[List of Chinese Pokémon names|Chinese (Taiwan)]]: 小拉達 ''Xiǎolādá'' - Transliteration of Rattata's Japanese name, Koratta. Literally “little Ratta (Raticate's Japanese name).”
*[[List of Chinese Pokémon names|Chinese (Hong Kong)]]: 小哥達 ''Xiǎogēdá'' - "Little Koratta" which is a little redundant since ''ko'' in Koratta already means little.

'''Palkia''' is a major character from ''[[The Rise of Darkrai]]''. Palkia reappeared alongside the other members of [[dragon trio|its trio]] in ''[[Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]''.

In ''The Rise of Darkrai'', Palkia engages in a massive battle with its enemy, {{an|Dialga}} in [[Alternate dimension|another dimension]]. Palkia ends up getting injured by Dialga's {{m|Roar of Time}} and flees to the normal dimension, its destination being [[Alamos Town]]. Due to this, all the Pokémon having nightmares wake up. Simultaneously, the presence of Palkia causes the dimension Dialga and Palkia were fighting in to disintegrate the normal dimension little by little.

Dialga later arrives, enraged that Palkia was a coward for fleeing. The two engage battle, causing enormous damage to Alamos Town. Ash and Dawn manage to magnify the volume of the song "[[Oración]]", soothing Dialga and Palkia mid-fight. After that, {{Ash}} and {{an|Dawn}} insisted Palkia repair the town and send it to [[Pokémon world|the correct dimension]]. Palkia then flew away.

In ''[[Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]'', Palkia was mentioned in a flashback of its battle in [[Alamos Town]]. However, its counterpart {{an|Dialga}} played a minor role in the movie.

In ''[[Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]'', Palkia helps to protect Ash and friends from {{an|Arceus}}'s attacks.

Bulbasurturtwig: /* Participants */

[[Image:Project Pokédex logo.png|right|200px]]
Some Bulbapedia members have formed a [[Bulbapedia:Project|project]] to better organize efforts to write and improve articles about '''Pokémon species'''. If you would like to help, please inquire on the [[{{NAMESPACE}} talk:{{PAGENAME}}|talk page]] or the [http://bmgf.bulbagarden.net/forumdisplay.php?f=195 Bulbapedia forum] and see the [[{{NAMESPACE}}:{{PAGENAME}}/To-do list]].

==Project Pokédex==
===Scope and aims===
'''Project Pokédex''' covers all articles about Pokémon species. Its goal is to produce the most comprehensive database on all Pokémon, from basic information on to the most technical aspects possible. It will also encompass any Pokémon Trading Card Game information, any relevant Anime information, and any other canon information which is relevant.

===Structure===
The best example articles for structure are {{p|Bulbasaur}}, {{p|Charmander}}, and {{p|Squirtle}}.

The Pokémon species articles are increasingly complex. However, to keep articles organized, the names, order and content of the sections should be according to the model below.

'''Refer to this model frequently when adding sections to a Pokémon species article, as the names, order and content of sections are all being standardized in all species articles. If you would like to update the model, please do so with regard to both the flow of the article and the standards set forth in Bulbapedia's {{bp|manual of style}}. Please consult other participants of the project on the talk page before making major changes to the model, particularly any regrouping or reorganizing of categories.'''

====Article model====

=====Full=====
The article should start off with the [[Template:PokémonPrevNext]] bar, followed by the Pokémon Infobox, followed by a general description of the Pokémon, including any special points (such as if it's a starter Pokémon in any games), a brief description of its abilities, and levels or ways in which the Pokémon evolves.

After this, it can be broken into three sections: general information, game statistics, and other information. Note that it is not broken down into these three sections within the articles themselves. Also note that the text for sections should not be indented within the text editor - it is merely indented here to aid in showing the hierarchy of sections.

'''General information'''
----

'''<nowiki>==Biology==</nowiki>'''
 Information in these subsections '''must''' be derived from a canon source, such as the Pokédex entries or the Pokémon anime. '''All speculative information will be removed.''' 
:'''<nowiki>===Physiology===</nowiki>'''
:A description of the Pokémon's physical structure, possible related Pokémon based on similarities, and any physical adaptations the Pokémon has made to its surroundings. Physical variations among members or groups of the species can also be noted here.
::'''<nowiki>====Gender differences====</nowiki>'''
::Any notable difference between males and females in the species, as one would note by comparing the Diamond and Pearl sprites. Alternate gender counterparts, such as with the two genders of Nidoran, are also linked to in this section.
::'''<nowiki>====Special abilities====</nowiki>'''
::A description of any unusual or elemental abilities the Pokémon often displays, such as those related to its elemental type. This is not a place for listing its [[ability]], despite the name; the ability should only be mentioned if it is relevant to this topic.
:'''<nowiki>===Behavior===</nowiki>'''
:A description of the Pokémon's behavior, both in the wild and after being captured.
:'''<nowiki>===Habitat===</nowiki>'''
:A description of regions where the Pokémon is commonly found.
:'''<nowiki>===Diet===</nowiki>'''
:'''<nowiki>''Main article: [[Pokémon food]]''</nowiki>'''
:All articles should link to the Pokémon food article rather than detail diet characteristics considered universal among Pokémon. Instead, this section should contain a description of any notable or unusual points about the Pokémon's diet. Use <nowiki>{{main|Pokémon food}}</nowiki> for this part.
'''<nowiki>==In the anime==</nowiki>'''
 Only added if the Pokémon appears in the anime. Please link to the Pokémon anime article at the start of this section.
 First, any details about the Pokémon species exclusive to the anime. Then, any episodes, movies, and specials from the Pokémon anime where the Pokémon has made an appearance, and a detailed description of their importance and role. For recurring Pokémon, only their first appearance, last appearance, and any particularly important appearances should be listed, with links to the specific Pokémon's article where further details can be found. Appearances should be listed chronologically, regardless of importance. 
'''<nowiki>==In the manga==</nowiki>'''
 Only added if the Pokémon appears in a manga series.
 This section should be broken down by manga series, divided and listed in the order of Pokémon Special, Electric Tale of Pikachu, Pokémon PiPiPi Adventure, Pokémon Chamo-Chamo ☆ Pretty ♪, and then any other Pokémon manga.
 For each series: Please link to the series in the subsection header. First, any details about the Pokémon species exclusive to that manga series. Then, volumes of Pokémon manga in which the Pokémon has made an appearance, and a detailed description of their importance and role. For recurring Pokémon, only their first appearance, last appearance, and any particularly important appearances should be listed, with links to the specific Pokémon's article where further details can be found. Appearances should be listed chronologically, regardless of importance. 
'''<nowiki>==In the TCG==</nowiki>'''
 Only added if the Pokémon appears in the TCG. Please link to the Pokémon Trading Card Game article at the start of this section.
 All cards in the TCG featuring members of the Pokémon species. Details universal to all of the Pokémon's cards may be added, but essentially, this section should be more or less a list with links to the cards' articles themselves. (To expand said card articles, please see the {{bp|Project TCGDex}}.) 
'''<nowiki>==In the TFG==</nowiki>'''
 Only added if the Pokémon appears in the TFG. Please link to the Pokémon Trading Figure Game article at the start of this section.
 All figures in the TFG featuring members of the Pokémon species. Details universal to all of the Pokémon's figures may be added, but essentially, this section should be more or less a list with links to the figures' articles themselves. (To expand said figure articles, please see the {{bp|Project TFG}}.) 
'''<nowiki>==Other appearances==</nowiki>'''
 Places where the Pokémon has been featured in non-Pokémon canon, such as the Super Smash Bros. series. Only added if the Pokémon appears outside of canon. If there is an article on the series in Bulbapedia, please link to it in the subsection header. Otherwise, please link to the appropriate article on Wikipedia in the subsection header.

'''Game statistics'''
----
'''<nowiki>==Game data==</nowiki>'''
:'''<nowiki>===NPC appearances===</nowiki>'''
:Details of Pokémon in all games (sans Smash Bros. series) which are seen but cannot be caught. Only add as necessary.
:'''<nowiki>===Pokédex entries===</nowiki>'''
:A list of the Pokédex entries for the Pokémon in every game which it appears. Please link to the different games' articles, coupling the paired games when the information for them is the same, as well as the Pokédex article itself. 
:'''<nowiki>===Game locations===</nowiki>'''
:Details on the location and rarity of Pokémon in the primary games. Please link to the different games' articles, coupling the paired games when the information for them is the same, as well as the Rarity article. Please link to all locations named in the table, since articles will have the specific rates of appearance for the area. Named locations are listed first in order of appearance in the game, followed by Routes in numerical order with each number linking to the appropriate route. Different methods of capturing, such as in the wild versus fishing, have a break between them.
::'''<nowiki>====In side games====</nowiki>'''
::Details on the location in non-standard games like Pokémon Snap, Pokémon Mystery Dungeon, and Pokémon Ranger. Please have the games in a bulleted list with details. For the Stadium games, assume regular rental Pokémon are common knowledge; do not add it to the list unless it has more information about its appearance, such as prizes, special Pokémon, ones in minigames, or if the moveset information for rentals within the individual Cups is provided as well.
:'''<nowiki>===Base statistics===</nowiki>'''
:The Pokémon's base statistics, presented in a bar graph form. 
:''Note: This section may be undergoing changes soon, due to complaints about the bar graph format.''

:How well types affect the Pokémon, based on its own type and base stats. Currently, all articles should follow the DP Type Effectiveness format.
:'''<nowiki>===Learnset===</nowiki>'''
:Moves the Pokémon can learn. ''Sections should not be added if the Pokémon learns no moves in such a manner. In particular, this applies to the Special moves subsection - do not add this section to an article if there are currently no moves the Pokémon can learn through a special method.''

'''Other information'''
----

'''<nowiki>==Trivia==</nowiki>'''
 Any facts which do not fit well into any other section. This includes beta names and relations to any glitch Pokémon, such as if a glitch uses pieces of its sprite or will evolve into it. Leave out the section if there is no trivia. 
:'''<nowiki>===Origin===</nowiki>'''
:Plants, animals, myths, and anything else which may have served as inspiration for the Pokémon's design.
::'''<nowiki>====Name origin====</nowiki>'''
::Possible base words and inspirations for the Pokémon's name in English and Japanese.
'''<nowiki>==In other languages==</nowiki>'''
:The Pokémon's name in languages besides English and Japanese. Possible base words and inspirations for these names may also be added.
'''<nowiki>==Related articles==</nowiki>'''
 A bulleted list of any relevant articles, such as specific characters of the Pokémon in the anime or manga. TCG and TFG link lists should remain in their own sections and not be included in this subsection. 
'''<nowiki>==Notes==</nowiki>'''
 A bulleted list of <ref> citations from the article. This list is automatically created by simply inserting the <tt><references/></tt> tag. 
'''<nowiki>==External links==</nowiki>'''
 A bulleted list of links to other pages, such as the Pokémon's entry on Wikipedia, or fan shrines for the Pokémon. Links to the Pokémon's entry in a Pokédex section of another website should be included in the infobox, not the external links section. 

After this, there should be another [[Template:PokémonPrevNext]] bar, followed by a [[Template:Project Pokédex notice]] box to finish the article.

====Tables within the articles====
Basic formatting for a Pokémon species article table is as follows:

<nowiki>{| border="1" style="border: 1px solid #999; border-collapse: collapse; background: white; margin: auto;" cellspacing="1" cellpadding="2"</nowiki>
 |- style="background: #COLOR;"
 ! Heading
 ! Heading
 |-
 | Content
 | Content
 |}

Replace the "COLOR" with the template for the color code of the Pokémon's primary type - or, if their primary type is Normal and they have a secondary type, the color code of the Pokémon's secondary type. The template's name is the type name and "color". For example, <nowiki>{{grass color}}</nowiki> is the template for a Grass-type Pokémon.

===Goals===
# Expand Pokémon pages to have at least a paragraph of information about a Pokémon, preferably background information on that Pokémon. The {{p|Bulbasaur}} page is a good example of a simple introduction paragraph.
# Add all locations in all games, including the side games ([[Pokémon Snap]], [[Pokémon Pinball]], [[Pokémon Pinball: Ruby/Sapphire]], [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon]], [[Pokémon Trozei!]], and [[Pokémon Ranger]], to name some of the more important ones).
# Add all movelists.
# Add [[Pokédex]] text info from games, where applicable.
# Add Biology information to each Pokémon species article.
# Add information on any appearances in the anime, including the specific episodes.
# Add information on any appearances in all manga, including the series and volume.
# List all released cards of the Pokémon.

===Infoboxes===
When entering information into any of the infoboxes, make sure to preview before saving the page, to make sure that you've entered everything right. If you don't know something, leave it blank.

Rarity and Area refer to how common or uncommon a Pokémon is. What precedes them are the initials of the versions that the specific instance applies to, [[Pokémon Red and Blue Versions|RB]], [[Pokémon Yellow Version|Y]], [[Pokémon Gold and Silver Versions|GS]], [[Pokémon Crystal Version|C]], [[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire Versions|RS]], [[Pokémon Emerald Version|E]], [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions|FRLG]], [[Pokémon Colosseum|Colo]], [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness|XD]], [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Versions|DP]], [[Pokémon Platinum Version|Pt]], [[Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver Versions|HGSS]]. For example, whatever is entered into the frlgarea should be where the Pokémon can be found in FireRed and LeafGreen. Likewise, frlgrarity should be how rare the Pokémon is in FireRed and LeafGreen. If only one is found, such as is the case with {{p|Mewtwo}}, put "One". If it can only be found through evolution, put "None" and for the area prompt put "[[Evolution|Evolve]] (pre-evolution)", replacing (pre-evolution) with the name of the Pokémon it evolves from. Likewise, if it is only available through breeding, put "None" and in the area prompt put "[[Pokémon breeding|Breed]] (evolutions)", replacing (evolutions) with the Pokémon that must produce the egg.

Rarity defaults to "None", Area defaults to "[[Trade]]". Therefore, if it can only be found through [[Pal Park]] in Diamond and Pearl, this must be entered in the dparea prompt. If a Pokémon is only available in one of a pair of versions, put the version it is available in in parentheses after the area.

{{Dex

To make the above appear, copy and paste what follows in the article:
<pre>
{{Sprite
|type=
|gen=
|gender=
|ndex=
|name=

</pre>
Type should be the Pokémon's primary type (or Flying if the Pokémon is {{t|Normal}}/{{t|Flying}}). Gen should be the Pokémon's introduction generation (1 for Pokémon #001-151, 2 for Pokémon #152-251, 3 for Pokémon #252-386, 4 for Pokémon #387-493). If the Pokémon have a gender difference, put 'both', otherwise put 'none'. Ndex should be the Pokémon's [[National Dex]] number, and name should be the name of the Pokémon.

Note: We have relatively few of the sprites uploaded to the Bulbagarden Archives. Please, if you can, try to upload some before adding the template to the page. Make sure, of course, to upload them to the correct, standardized filename.

Bulbasurturtwig: /* Participants */

[[Image:Project Pokédex logo.png|right|200px]]
Some Bulbapedia members have formed a [[Bulbapedia:Project|project]] to better organize efforts to write and improve articles about '''Pokémon species'''. If you would like to help, please inquire on the [[{{NAMESPACE}} talk:{{PAGENAME}}|talk page]] or the [http://bmgf.bulbagarden.net/forumdisplay.php?f=195 Bulbapedia forum] and see the [[{{NAMESPACE}}:{{PAGENAME}}/To-do list]].

==Project Pokédex==
===Scope and aims===
'''Project Pokédex''' covers all articles about Pokémon species. Its goal is to produce the most comprehensive database on all Pokémon, from basic information on to the most technical aspects possible. It will also encompass any Pokémon Trading Card Game information, any relevant Anime information, and any other canon information which is relevant.

===Structure===
The best example articles for structure are {{p|Bulbasaur}}, {{p|Charmander}}, and {{p|Squirtle}}.

The Pokémon species articles are increasingly complex. However, to keep articles organized, the names, order and content of the sections should be according to the model below.

'''Refer to this model frequently when adding sections to a Pokémon species article, as the names, order and content of sections are all being standardized in all species articles. If you would like to update the model, please do so with regard to both the flow of the article and the standards set forth in Bulbapedia's {{bp|manual of style}}. Please consult other participants of the project on the talk page before making major changes to the model, particularly any regrouping or reorganizing of categories.'''

====Article model====

=====Full=====
The article should start off with the [[Template:PokémonPrevNext]] bar, followed by the Pokémon Infobox, followed by a general description of the Pokémon, including any special points (such as if it's a starter Pokémon in any games), a brief description of its abilities, and levels or ways in which the Pokémon evolves.

After this, it can be broken into three sections: general information, game statistics, and other information. Note that it is not broken down into these three sections within the articles themselves. Also note that the text for sections should not be indented within the text editor - it is merely indented here to aid in showing the hierarchy of sections.

'''General information'''
----

'''<nowiki>==Biology==</nowiki>'''
 Information in these subsections '''must''' be derived from a canon source, such as the Pokédex entries or the Pokémon anime. '''All speculative information will be removed.''' 
:'''<nowiki>===Physiology===</nowiki>'''
:A description of the Pokémon's physical structure, possible related Pokémon based on similarities, and any physical adaptations the Pokémon has made to its surroundings. Physical variations among members or groups of the species can also be noted here.
::'''<nowiki>====Gender differences====</nowiki>'''
::Any notable difference between males and females in the species, as one would note by comparing the Diamond and Pearl sprites. Alternate gender counterparts, such as with the two genders of Nidoran, are also linked to in this section.
::'''<nowiki>====Special abilities====</nowiki>'''
::A description of any unusual or elemental abilities the Pokémon often displays, such as those related to its elemental type. This is not a place for listing its [[ability]], despite the name; the ability should only be mentioned if it is relevant to this topic.
:'''<nowiki>===Behavior===</nowiki>'''
:A description of the Pokémon's behavior, both in the wild and after being captured.
:'''<nowiki>===Habitat===</nowiki>'''
:A description of regions where the Pokémon is commonly found.
:'''<nowiki>===Diet===</nowiki>'''
:'''<nowiki>''Main article: [[Pokémon food]]''</nowiki>'''
:All articles should link to the Pokémon food article rather than detail diet characteristics considered universal among Pokémon. Instead, this section should contain a description of any notable or unusual points about the Pokémon's diet. Use <nowiki>{{main|Pokémon food}}</nowiki> for this part.
'''<nowiki>==In the anime==</nowiki>'''
 Only added if the Pokémon appears in the anime. Please link to the Pokémon anime article at the start of this section.
 First, any details about the Pokémon species exclusive to the anime. Then, any episodes, movies, and specials from the Pokémon anime where the Pokémon has made an appearance, and a detailed description of their importance and role. For recurring Pokémon, only their first appearance, last appearance, and any particularly important appearances should be listed, with links to the specific Pokémon's article where further details can be found. Appearances should be listed chronologically, regardless of importance. 
'''<nowiki>==In the manga==</nowiki>'''
 Only added if the Pokémon appears in a manga series.
 This section should be broken down by manga series, divided and listed in the order of Pokémon Special, Electric Tale of Pikachu, Pokémon PiPiPi Adventure, Pokémon Chamo-Chamo ☆ Pretty ♪, and then any other Pokémon manga.
 For each series: Please link to the series in the subsection header. First, any details about the Pokémon species exclusive to that manga series. Then, volumes of Pokémon manga in which the Pokémon has made an appearance, and a detailed description of their importance and role. For recurring Pokémon, only their first appearance, last appearance, and any particularly important appearances should be listed, with links to the specific Pokémon's article where further details can be found. Appearances should be listed chronologically, regardless of importance. 
'''<nowiki>==In the TCG==</nowiki>'''
 Only added if the Pokémon appears in the TCG. Please link to the Pokémon Trading Card Game article at the start of this section.
 All cards in the TCG featuring members of the Pokémon species. Details universal to all of the Pokémon's cards may be added, but essentially, this section should be more or less a list with links to the cards' articles themselves. (To expand said card articles, please see the {{bp|Project TCGDex}}.) 
'''<nowiki>==In the TFG==</nowiki>'''
 Only added if the Pokémon appears in the TFG. Please link to the Pokémon Trading Figure Game article at the start of this section.
 All figures in the TFG featuring members of the Pokémon species. Details universal to all of the Pokémon's figures may be added, but essentially, this section should be more or less a list with links to the figures' articles themselves. (To expand said figure articles, please see the {{bp|Project TFG}}.) 
'''<nowiki>==Other appearances==</nowiki>'''
 Places where the Pokémon has been featured in non-Pokémon canon, such as the Super Smash Bros. series. Only added if the Pokémon appears outside of canon. If there is an article on the series in Bulbapedia, please link to it in the subsection header. Otherwise, please link to the appropriate article on Wikipedia in the subsection header.

'''Game statistics'''
----
'''<nowiki>==Game data==</nowiki>'''
:'''<nowiki>===NPC appearances===</nowiki>'''
:Details of Pokémon in all games (sans Smash Bros. series) which are seen but cannot be caught. Only add as necessary.
:'''<nowiki>===Pokédex entries===</nowiki>'''
:A list of the Pokédex entries for the Pokémon in every game which it appears. Please link to the different games' articles, coupling the paired games when the information for them is the same, as well as the Pokédex article itself. 
:'''<nowiki>===Game locations===</nowiki>'''
:Details on the location and rarity of Pokémon in the primary games. Please link to the different games' articles, coupling the paired games when the information for them is the same, as well as the Rarity article. Please link to all locations named in the table, since articles will have the specific rates of appearance for the area. Named locations are listed first in order of appearance in the game, followed by Routes in numerical order with each number linking to the appropriate route.

 A bulleted list of <ref> citations from the article. This list is automatically created by simply inserting the <tt><references/></tt> tag. 
'''<nowiki>==External links==</nowiki>'''
 A bulleted list of links to other pages, such as the Pokémon's entry on Wikipedia, or fan shrines for the Pokémon. Links to the Pokémon's entry in a Pokédex section of another website should be included in the infobox, not the external links section. 

After this, there should be another [[Template:PokémonPrevNext]] bar, followed by a [[Template:Project Pokédex notice]] box to finish the article.

====Tables within the articles====
Basic formatting for a Pokémon species article table is as follows:

<nowiki>{| border="1" style="border: 1px solid #999; border-collapse: collapse; background: white; margin: auto;" cellspacing="1" cellpadding="2"</nowiki>
 |- style="background: #COLOR;"
 ! Heading
 ! Heading
 |-
 | Content
 | Content
 |}

Replace the "COLOR" with the template for the color code of the Pokémon's primary type - or, if their primary type is Normal and they have a secondary type, the color code of the Pokémon's secondary type. The template's name is the type name and "color". For example, <nowiki>{{grass color}}</nowiki> is the template for a Grass-type Pokémon.

===Goals===
# Expand Pokémon pages to have at least a paragraph of information about a Pokémon, preferably background information on that Pokémon. The {{p|Bulbasaur}} page is a good example of a simple introduction paragraph.
# Add all locations in all games, including the side games ([[Pokémon Snap]], [[Pokémon Pinball]], [[Pokémon Pinball: Ruby/Sapphire]], [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon]], [[Pokémon Trozei!]], and [[Pokémon Ranger]], to name some of the more important ones).
# Add all movelists.
# Add [[Pokédex]] text info from games, where applicable.
# Add Biology information to each Pokémon species article.
# Add information on any appearances in the anime, including the specific episodes.
# Add information on any appearances in all manga, including the series and volume.
# List all released cards of the Pokémon.

===Infoboxes===
When entering information into any of the infoboxes, make sure to preview before saving the page, to make sure that you've entered everything right. If you don't know something, leave it blank.

Rarity and Area refer to how common or uncommon a Pokémon is. What precedes them are the initials of the versions that the specific instance applies to, [[Pokémon Red and Blue Versions|RB]], [[Pokémon Yellow Version|Y]], [[Pokémon Gold and Silver Versions|GS]], [[Pokémon Crystal Version|C]], [[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire Versions|RS]], [[Pokémon Emerald Version|E]], [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions|FRLG]], [[Pokémon Colosseum|Colo]], [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness|XD]], [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Versions|DP]], [[Pokémon Platinum Version|Pt]], [[Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver Versions|HGSS]]. For example, whatever is entered into the frlgarea should be where the Pokémon can be found in FireRed and LeafGreen. Likewise, frlgrarity should be how rare the Pokémon is in FireRed and LeafGreen. If only one is found, such as is the case with {{p|Mewtwo}}, put "One". If it can only be found through evolution, put "None" and for the area prompt put "[[Evolution|Evolve]] (pre-evolution)", replacing (pre-evolution) with the name of the Pokémon it evolves from. Likewise, if it is only available through breeding, put "None" and in the area prompt put "[[Pokémon breeding|Breed]] (evolutions)", replacing (evolutions) with the Pokémon that must produce the egg.

Rarity defaults to "None", Area defaults to "[[Trade]]". Therefore, if it can only be found through [[Pal Park]] in Diamond and Pearl, this must be entered in the dparea prompt. If a Pokémon is only available in one of a pair of versions, put the version it is available in in parentheses after the area.

{{Dex

To make the above appear, copy and paste what follows in the article:
<pre>
{{Sprite
|type=
|gen=

</pre>
Type should be the Pokémon's primary type (or Flying if the Pokémon is {{t|Normal}}/{{t|Flying}}). Gen should be the Pokémon's introduction generation (1 for Pokémon #001-151, 2 for Pokémon #152-251, 3 for Pokémon #252-386, 4 for Pokémon #387-493). If the Pokémon have a gender difference, put 'both', otherwise put 'none'. Ndex should be the Pokémon's [[National Dex]] number, and name should be the name of the Pokémon.

Note: We have relatively few of the sprites uploaded to the Bulbagarden Archives. Please, if you can, try to upload some before adding the template to the page. Make sure, of course, to upload them to the correct, standardized filename.

==Lyrics

'''TV Version'''

<ab>''Sometimes it's hard to know,
Which way you're supposed to go.
But deep inside, you know you're strong.
If you follow your heart, you can't be wrong.
Stand Up!
(Stand Up!)
For what is right.
Be brave!
Get ready to fight.
Hold On!
(Hold On!)
We're {{ashfr|friends}} for life.
And if we come, together as one.
Complete the [[Pokémon Master|quests]] we've begun.
We will win the [[Pokémon battle|battle]]!

'''Movie Version'''

''Sometimes it's hard to know,''
''Which way you're supposed to go.''
''But deep inside, you know you're strong.''
''If you follow your heart, you can't be wrong.''

''Together we will fight as one!''
''Each of us will know the way,''
''And make this world a better place.''

==Trivia==
* This opening was originally made up of scenes from ''[[DP105|Get Your Rotom Running!]]'', ''[[DP106|A Breed Stampede!]]'', ''[[DP108|Dealing With Defensive Types!]]'', ''[[DP109|Leading a Stray!]]'', ''[[DP110|Steeling Peace of Mind!]]'', ''[[DP111|Saving the World From Ruins!]]'', and ''[[DP114|Another One Gabites the Dust!]]''. This made it the only opening thus far to be made entirely of scenes from episodes, containing no clips from Japanese openings or endings.
* In ''[[DP121|The Lonely Snover!]]'', the opening was updated to feature scenes from ''[[High Touch!]]'' and ''[[DP129|Pillars of Friendship!]]''. {{AP|Pikachu}}, {{AP|Gliscor}}, {{AP|Chimchar|Monferno}}, and {{AP|Buizel}} calling out their names at the end of the theme was also removed.
** In the second version's closed captioning, Ash's Pokémon cheering is left out from the first version.
** Among English themes, only [[Unbeatable]] had a running change prior to this. However, this remains the only English theme to have two very distinct versions.
* This is the longest opening [[The Pokémon Company International|TPCi]] (formerly PUSA) has produced to date.
* Although the opening sequenced changed on August 22, 2009, it did not become High-Definition until the airing of ''[[DP126|Classroom Training!]]'' on October 3, 2009.

Be brave!
Get ready to fight.

==Lyrics==
<ab>''Sometimes it's hard to know,
Which way you're supposed to go.
But deep inside, you know you're strong.
If you follow your heart, you can't be wrong.
Stand Up!
(Stand Up!)
For what is right.
Be brave!
Get ready to fight.
Hold On!
(Hold On!)
We're {{ashfr|friends}} for life.
And if we come, together as one.
Complete the [[Pokémon Master|quests]] we've begun.
We will win the [[Pokémon battle|battle]]!
[[Team Galactic|Galactic]] Battles! Pokémon!''</ab>

==Trivia==
* This opening was originally made up of scenes from ''[[DP105|Get Your Rotom Running!]]'', ''[[DP106|A Breed Stampede!]]'', ''[[DP108|Dealing With Defensive Types!]]'', ''[[DP109|Leading a Stray!]]'', ''[[DP110|Steeling Peace of Mind!]]'', ''[[DP111|Saving the World From Ruins!]]'', and ''[[DP114|Another One Gabites the Dust!]]''. This made it the only opening thus far to be made entirely of scenes from episodes, containing no clips from Japanese openings or endings.
* In ''[[DP121|The Lonely Snover!]]'', the opening was updated to feature scenes from ''[[High Touch!]]'' and ''[[DP129|Pillars of Friendship!]]''. {{AP|Pikachu}}, {{AP|Gliscor}}, {{AP|Chimchar|Monferno}}, and {{AP|Buizel}} calling out their names at the end of the theme was also removed.
** In the second version's closed captioning, Ash's Pokémon cheering is left out from the first version.
** Among English themes, only [[Unbeatable]] had a running change prior to this. However, this remains the only English theme to have two very distinct versions.
* This is the longest opening [[The Pokémon Company International|TPCi]] (formerly PUSA) has produced to date.
* Although the opening sequenced changed on August 22, 2009, it did not become High-Definition until the airing of ''[[DP126|Classroom Training!]]'' on October 3, 2009.
* Not counting [[The Rise of Darkrai]], this is the first time a song has been used in a movie ([[Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]).

'''Ecruteak City''' ('''エンジュシティ''' ''Enju City'') is located in northern [[Johto]], northeast of [[National Park]], northwest of [[Violet City]], and west of [[Mt. Mortar]], and is surrounded by wooded terrain.

[[Pokémon Trainer]]s often come to Ecruteak City in order to win the {{badge|Fog}} from [[Morty]], the Ecruteak [[Gym Leader]] who specializes in {{type2|Ghost}} [[Pokémon]].

Ecruteak is known as "A Historical City Where the Past Meets the Present", a fitting title, reflected in its buildings' traditional Japanese architecture. It has a role in many legends, such as those of {{p|Raikou}}, {{p|Entei}}, {{p|Suicune}}, {{p|Lugia}}, and {{p|Ho-Oh}}.

In the [[Generation II]] games, it is mentioned that in ancient times, Ho-Oh and Lugia lived in two grand towers. But when one of them burned down, becoming what is known today as the [[Brass Tower|Burned Tower]], both flew away, never to be seen again in Ecruteak.

In the {{pkmn|anime}}, Morty tells Ash and company of how in ancient times, Ho-Oh lived in a great tower in Ecruteak. But when war struck and the tower was burned down, it created Raikou, Entei, and Suicune from creatures who had perished in the fire, and all four disappeared. Later, a new tower, [[Tin Tower]], was built, but Ho-Oh never returned.
==Places of interest==
===Kimono Dance Theater===
The Kimono Dance Theater is where the [[Kimono Girl]]s dance and battle. The director will give the player the [[HM]] for {{m|Surf}}: in [[Generation II]], after defeating the Kimono Girls; in [[Generation IV]], after defeating the [[Rocket Grunt]]. Each of the five Kimono Girls has an evolution of {{p|Eevee}}: {{p|Vaporeon}}, {{p|Flareon}}, {{p|Jolteon}}, {{p|Espeon}}, and {{p|Umbreon}}.

===Burned Tower===
{{main|Brass Tower}}
The Brass Tower, with gleaming {{game3|Gold and Silver|silver-colored|s}} panels, was, according to legend, the perch of {{p|Lugia}}. Once as majestic as the {{game3|Gold and Silver|gold-colored|s}} Tin Tower, the Brass Tower was burned to the ground after a mysterious fire. This chased the two [[legendary Pokémon]] away, but not before Ho-Oh gave new life to three Pokémon killed when the tower was destroyed: {{p|Entei}}, {{p|Raikou}}, and {{p|Suicune}}. {{p|Lugia}} left its home of the Brass Tower to live forevermore in the depths of the [[Whirl Islands]], while Ho-Oh began to fly around the world, searching and waiting for a day when it would find a trainer with a pure heart.
[[Image:Ecruteak City Landscape.png|right|245px|thumb|Promotional artwork by [[Midori Harada]] for HGSS]]
In {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}, the player encounters {{p|Raikou}}, {{p|Entei}}, and {{p|Suicune}}, who then flee, for the first time in the burned-out remains of the Brass Tower. This is also where {{ga|Silver|the player's rival}} will challenge him or her once again, with the second form of the {{pkmn2|starter}} he stole.

===Tin Tower===
{{main|Tin Tower}}
The Tin Tower is a location in [[Johto]]. In {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}, the trainer finally comes to the Tin Tower, holding the [[Rainbow Wing]]. At this point, the player will be allowed to ascend the remaining eight levels of the tower, up to the roof, where Ho-Oh itself waits. However, in {{game|Crystal}}, players with a {{DL|List of key items in Generation II|Clear Bell}} will be able to capture {{p|Suicune}} here, and only after catching each of the [[legendary beasts]] will a trainer be able to ascend the steps above the first floor to get to Ho-Oh.

==Items==
===Generation II===
* {{DL|Potion|Hyper Potion}}: Near the [[Tin Tower]] building.
* [[HM03]] ([[Surf (move)|Surf]]) (Inside Kimono Dance Theater)

===Generation IV===
* {{DL|Ether|Ether}} (hidden)
* [[Ultra Ball]] (hidden)
* [[HM03]] ([[Surf]]) (Kimono Dance Theater)

{{spoilers}}
== Synopsis ==
During the night, [[James]] looks down at a [[Pokémon Center]], still very depressed at [[DP054|giving]] {{TP|James|Cacnea}} away. [[Jessie]] and {{MTR}} try to cheer him up with his favorite fruit, but it fails, which affects all of them since James’s attitude is weighing [[Team Rocket]] down.

Inside the Center, {{an|Dawn}} watches the [[television]], which displays {{si|Kenny}} and {{TP|Kenny|Prinplup}} winning their second [[ribbon]]. [[Zoey]] enters the Center and greets them before noticing {{Ash}} and {{AP|Pikachu}} spread out across the bench, lacking energy after eating too much. While [[Brock]] and {{TP|Brock|Sudowoodo}} make a [[Herbal medicine|herbal remedy]] for them, Dawn glances at her only ribbon, upset that Kenny is passing her. Ash gives her encouragement as [[Marian]] announces that [[Solaceon Town]] is the next {{pkmn|Super Contest|Contest}} location, which Zoey mentions is on the same route as [[Veilstone City]]. Dawn decides to {{pkmn|training|train}} for that Contest, asking Zoey if she is entering as well, but Zoey decides to pass in order to improve one of her combinations. Still, Dawn asks to train with her tomorrow, which she agrees to. Brock and Sudowoodo finish making the herbal remedy for Ash and Pikachu. Brock gives Ash his dose as a powder while Pikachu’s dose is mixed with liquid [[Poffin]] batter, sticking it on Pikachu’s nose. When both take the herbs, they find it very disgusting, causing both to run around the room.

The next morning, Dawn decides to prepare {{p|Buizel}} for a Contest debut by {{pkmn|battle|battling}} [[Zoey's Glameow]]. Ash is also inspired to train, deciding to practice with {{p|Aipom}} and {{AP|Chimchar}}. While Brock studies Ash’s battle, Dawn commands Buizel to use {{m|Water Gun}}. Glameow uses {{m|Iron Tail}} to dissipate the attack into a fine mist sparkle, creating an appeal. Aipom watches a little too intently and doesn’t hear Ash’s first command, but quickly gets back into battle. Brock notices the behavior as Ash and Aipom try to get back on track. Dawn critiques Buizel's Water Gun and how it made Glameow look appealing but not Buizel. As Buizel tries to get into the Contest flow, Ash tells Aipom to use {{m|Focus Punch}}, which Chimchar easily dodges. The battle grabs Buizel's attention, which Zoey notices. Dawn gets Buizel’s attention back and has it use {{m|Aqua Jet}}. Glameow uses {{m|Shadow Claw}} in an attempt to cancel, but ends up going over the attack, using the water mist to create another appeal before landing. Buizel lands and shakes off the water, which Dawn also critiques. Buizel tries to take it in, but drifts to watching Ash’s battle. Chimchar launches {{m|Flame Wheel}} as Aipom dodges and fires {{m|Swift}}, which Chimchar charges right into with Flame Wheel. Zoey notices Buizel’s interest as Aipom breaks the Flame Wheel with Focus Punch. Aipom suddenly launches a Swift attack towards the sky and jumps on the stars as an [[Appeals round|appeal move]]. Zoey notes the appeal as Dawn mentions that Aipom watches Dawn train a lot. Ash and Dawn prepare to continue training, but Zoey stops both of them and brings up [[DP012|the time when she told Ash to let Dawn raise Aipom]], pointing out that Aipom likes Contests while Buizel isn’t as receptive to it. Zoey suggest for Ash and Dawn to [[trade]] Aipom and Buizel to each other, which surprises everyone. Team Rocket listens in nearby and decides to steal both [[Pokémon]], but James is still depressed.

Inside the Center, Ash and Dawn watch as [[Nurse Joy]] helps two {{pkmn|Trainer}}s conduct a trade with a {{p|Ponyta}} and a {{p|Munchlax}}. As the trade finishes and the Trainers leave, Nurse Joy asks if they are ready to trade. Ash and Dawn appear reluctant as they realize how they have already [[Happiness|bonded]] to their Pokémon. Dawn knows Aipom has been with Ash a long time, while Ash knows that Dawn has already put time into training with Buizel. Joy mentions that Trainers need to adapt to their Pokémon in the same way Pokémon bond to Trainers. Ash suggests that he should have a practice battle with Buizel against Brock while Dawn practices with Aipom against Zoey. Brock realizes that it will simulate the trade effects and if it will really work.

Outside, they prepare for the practice matches as Zoey summons Glameow while Brock chooses Sudowoodo. Before anything starts, however, a disguised Team Rocket, minus James, shows up as a fake Pokémon au pair service, where they train Pokémon for a Trainer. However, James shows up without a disguise, which destroys the plan. After realizing that they did it to help him, James has {{TP|James|Carnivine}} attack alongside {{TP|Jessie|Seviper}} and {{TP|Jessie|Dustox}}. Dustox fires {{m|Psybeam}} and Carnivine uses {{m|Bullet Seed}}, the attacks hitting Ash and his friends, creating an explosion. Seviper follows up with a blinding {{m|Haze}}, but Ash is quick to bring out {{AP|Staravia}} to {{m|Whirlwind}} it away. After reciting their [[Team Rocket mottos|motto]], Team Rocket realizes that Carnivine and Seviper took Sudowoodo and Glameow instead of Aipom and Buizel. Ash and Dawn step in with their new practice partners to stop Team Rocket.

Carnivine fires Bullet Seed and Dustox fires Psybeam. Aipom uses Swift to create a giant star Swift shield to block the attack and demonstrate Contest appeal as well. Dustox uses Whirlwind, but Buizel hits Dustox with {{m|SonicBoom}} before [[Unable to battle|knocking it out]] with Aqua Jet. Seviper fires Haze as Aipom uses {{m|Double Team}} to surround Buizel before using Focus Punch to disperse the Haze. Buizel fires Water Gun, sending Team Rocket blasting off. As Zoey and Brock hug their Pokémon, Ash and Dawn applaud their partner Pokémon's abilities. Brock and Zoey mentions that it is a match, which the Trainers agree to, so the trade is set.

At the Center, Ash and Dawn place Aipom and Buizel’s [[Poké Ball]]s into the trade machine and pull the lever together, conducting the trade. After it finishes, Ash and Dawn pick up their new Poké Balls and summon their new Pokémon, {{AP|Buizel}} and {{TP|Dawn|Aipom}}. Ash vows to use Buizel at the next [[Gym]] while Aipom will participate in Dawn’s next Contest.

Marilyn

2009-10-05T22:34:37Z

Bulbasurturtwig: /* Trivia */

[[File:Marilyn.png|right|thumb|250px|Marilyn]]
'''Marilyn''' (Japanese: '''マリリン''' ''Marilyn'') is a [[character of the day]] who appeared in ''[[DP125|Battling a Cute Drama!]]''. She is voiced by 後藤麻衣 ''Mai Goto'' in Japanese and [[Bella Hudson]] in English.

Marilyn is a {{pkmn|Trainer}} who believes only [[Pokémon]] she finds to be cute are worthwhile. Beyond that, she prefers things being cuter in their own right, calling Dawn and Brock "Dawny" (Japanese: ''Hikarin'') and "Brocky" (Japanese: ''Takerin'') because she believed they were cuter names.

She only believes that a Pokémon is cute if its height is no more than 2 feet and if it has not evolved. Even then, she doesn't consider everything that meets that criteria to be cute, including {{TP|James|Mime Jr.}} and {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}}. {{MTR}} also meets the height and evolutionary standards, although Marilyn didn't even seem to notice Meowth at any point.

After seeing [[Dawn's Buneary]], she fawns over how cute it is (dismissing {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}} as not cute enough), and challenges Dawn to a battle. During the battle, she orders her Cherubi not to attack, in order to stall and keep the battling going so she could witness a "valiant battle". [[Brock]] gets irritated by Marilyn's superficial attitude towards Pokémon, and decides to teach her about the inner strength and beauty of Pokémon with a battle.

Marilyn claims her perception of "cute Pokémon" was altered to fit in more with normal convention, because she was teased as a child for believing the cutest Pokémon ever was {{p|Shellder}}, a sentiment none of her friends agreed with.

==Pokémon==
This listing is of Marilyn's known Pokémon:

| align=center | [[Image:Marilyn's Chingling.png]] {{p|Chingling}}
| align=center | [[Image:090.png]] {{p|Shellder}}
|}

Marilyn is in possession of a fourth Pokémon as its [[Poké Ball]] is seen, but she replaces it with Shellder instead during her and Brock's battle.

==Trivia==
* Marilyn dresses in the {{wp|Sweet Lolita}} clothing style.
* Marilyn owns two round Pokémon whose names start with "Ch".
* She also has two Sinnoh Pokemon that start with "Ch".
* Another character, {{an|Kotone}}, referred to Dawn as ''Hikarin'' in the original version.
* She is one of the few characters who has her Japanese name her English name.

(Japanese: '''ライバルトレーナー・ジュン登場！！''' ''Enter Rival Trainer {{tt|Jun|Barry}}!!'') is the 101st episode of the {{series|Diamond & Pearl}}, and the 567th episode of the [[Pokémon anime]]. It first aired in Japan on November 6, 2008 and in the United States on April 11, 2009.
{{spoilers}}
==Synopsis==

{{Ash}} and {{ashfr|his friends}} have returned to [[Hearthome City]] for Ash’s fifth [[gym]] {{pkmn|battle}}. Ash runs off to the [[Hearthome Gym]] excited as his friends follow. As Ash steps up to the gym’s front doors, someone on the inside opens the door on Ash, knocking him and {{AP|Pikachu}} down the stairs. The {{pkmn|Trainer}} also fell and manages to get up in a hurry, criticizing Ash as if it were his fault before proclaiming himself as a powerful trainer and running off almost immediately. Pikachu notices a [[badge]] case that the guy dropped and Ash retrieves it, noticing three badges inside. As his friends finally catch up to him, [[Fantina]] steps out and greets him, noticing the badge case that her previous challenger was holding, mentioning that he came from [[Twinleaf Town]], the note getting {{an|Dawn}}’s attention. Ash is quick to ask for his official battle, but her [[Pokémon]] have to rest after battling, putting off the duel for the next day and upsetting Ash.

Ash and his friends decide to head to the [[Pokémon Center]] to rest as well. The same trainer Ash saw at the gym runs straight into Ash again, both getting knocked down. The trainer notices his badge case and reclaims it, think Ash stole it, but he suddenly recognizes Ash from the [[Hearthome City Tag Battle Competition]], battling with [[Paul]] and labeling Ash as weaker than Paul, which irritates Ash. Dawn suddenly remembers who the trainer is, identifying him as [[Barry]], remembering him from a former duet with an {{p|Exploud}} in the [[Twinleaf Festival]], but Barry doesn't know Dawn. Suddenly, he also associates her from the Hearthome battle, terming her as the “hopelessly geeky” trainer that lost to Paul, which irritates her as well. [[Brock]] mentions that he was in the battle, but Barry doesn't know him either. He reverts back to snubbing Ash for his inferiority to Paul. Ash identifies himself to Barry and challenges him to a battle, but Dawn spots Barry’s new [[Pokétch]]. He discusses how he got it before getting frantic and blaming Dawn for going off topic about the battle.

Ash sends out {{AP|Chimchar}}, which Barry immediately recognizes it as Paul’s and thinks that Ash [[trade]]d to get it. Even after Ash mentions that Paul abandoned it, Barry refuses to believe Paul abandoned it and thinks Ash wants to become as strong as Paul, which Barry is also trying to do. Barry gloats about getting three badges, but Ash mentions that he has four, which slightly stuns Barry, but he still believes he's stronger. Barry tries to summon a Pokémon to battle, but he realizes that he left his [[Poké Ball]]s in storage, running off to get them as Ash follows.

Meanwhile, [[Team Rocket]] sets up a fake {{pkmn|storage system}} booth, their real goal being to steal trainer’s Pokémon. They prepare to leave when Barry shows up to reclaim his Pokémon. Team Rocket heads into the back as Brock notices something amiss. Fantina shows up and also notices something fishy. The booth falls away as Team Rocket tries to escape in {{TP|Team Rocket|their balloon|mechas}}, reciting their {{TP|Team Rocket|motto}}, but Barry cuts them off. Ash sends out {{AP|Gliscor}} and [[James]] sends out {{TP|James|Carnivine}}, which promptly latches onto him, forcing [[Jessie]] to deploy her {{TP|Jessie|Seviper}}. Fantina sends {{p|Mismagius}} to use {{m|Psybeam}}, stopping and {{status|confusion|confusing}} Seviper. Gliscor uses {{m|X-Scissor}} to pop the balloon and send it crashing to the ground.

The bag of Poké Balls lands nearby, Barry quickly searching for his Poké Balls and quickly finding them. Seviper and Carnivine charge but {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}} and Pikachu race forward. Carnivine’s {{m|Bullet Seed}} stalls the duo as Seviper lunges forward with a {{m|Bite}} [[Move|attack]]. Barry summons his {{TP|Barry|Empoleon}} and uses {{m|Hydro Cannon}} to blast Seviper back. He shows off that Hydro Cannon helped him beat [[Gardenia]] and earn the {{badge|Forest}}, mentioning how powerful her {{TP|James|Cacnea}} was. James knows that the Cacnea Barry mentioned was his, amazed that it mastered {{m|Drain Punch}}, and rushes to Barry, asking more questions about Cacnea. {{MTR}} and {{TP|Jessie|Wobbuffet}} drag him away as Team Rocket prepares to attack again, Carnivine using Bite and Seviper using {{m|Poison Tail}}. Piplup uses {{m|BubbleBeam}} and Pikachu uses {{m|Thunderbolt}} to send them back as Empoleon uses {{m|Hyper Beam}} to send Team Rocket blasting off.

Fantina takes the job of giving the Pokémon back to the trainers as she looks forward to her next battle with Ash, applauding his improved battle performance. Barry follows Ash and the group as Ash prepares for his battle, Barry also wanting to prepare. Barry states that if his Empoleon isn't strong enough he will simply find more powerful Pokémon, similar to Paul’s ideology. Ash stops and questions his thinking, mentioning that cooperative {{pkmn|training}} and [[Happiness|bonding]] is important to growing as a trainer, which Barry doesn't recognize. Barry acknowledges his impatience, wanting to be as strong as Paul as quickly as possible. As Barry is aspiring to be similar to Paul, it irritates Ash more. Dawn mentions that Ash battled Paul several times. When Barry makes fun of Ash not being able to defeat Paul, Ash’s temper flares again, and Barry decides to battle Ash.

At the Pokémon Center, Brock officiates the three on three battle. The first round pits Ash’s Chimchar against Barry’s {{p|Staraptor}}. Staraptor uses {{m|Tackle}} as Chimchar dodges and fires {{m|Flamethrower}}. Staraptor dodges and comes around to use {{m|Close Combat}}. Chimchar dodges most of the strikes, but Chimchar takes a few hits and gets thrown back. Staraptor charges with {{m|Wing Attack}}, but Chimchar uses {{m|Dig}} to escape before coming up and using Flamethrower to [[Unable to battle|knock out]] Staraptor.

Barry sends out {{p|Roserade}} and uses {{m|Poison Jab}} to knock Chimchar back. Barry orders multiple Poison Jabs as Chimchar dodges. However, Roserade uses its legs to lower Chimchar’s guard and managing to get in clean strikes, eventually knocking out Chimchar with one powerful strike. Ash sends out Gliscor, striking with X-Scissor. Roserade uses Poison Jab to block. Both Pokémon use their attacks to strike and block continually. Barry tells Roserade to keep attacking as both Pokémon stop defending and go for complete offense, eventually winding up with both Pokémon knocked out.

Knowing that this battle will determine his chance of winning against Fantina, Ash pits Pikachu against Empoleon. Pikachu charges with Thunderbolt as Empoleon uses Hydro Cannon to block. Pikachu dodges the blast as Empoleon rushes with {{m|Steel Wing}}, Pikachu countering with {{m|Iron Tail}}. Empoleon uses Steel Wing again as Pikachu repeats Iron Tail. Pikachu lands a few hits before getting knocked back. Empoleon fires Hyper Beam as Pikachu gets hit, flying up in the air, seemingly defeated. Ash's plea for courage snaps Pikachu back to action, ready to continue. Knowing that Empoleon is vulnerable after firing Hyper Beam, Pikachu hits with Thunderbolt, knocking Empoleon down before Pikachu follows up with {{m|Volt Tackle}}, knocking out Empoleon and giving Ash the win. Pikachu hugs Ash as Dawn and Brock congratulate him. Barry, stunned at losing to Ash, sinks to his knees but quickly shaking it off, thinking Ash got lucky and that he is still stronger. Ash tells him to watch his battle against Fantina. The next day, Ash enters the Hearthome Gym for his next battle.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Turtwig}} starting at [[level]] 18, and evolves into {{p|Torterra}} starting at level 32.

===Physiology===
[[Image:Grotle acorn.png|Grotle with acorns|220px|thumb|right]]
The shell possessed by Turtwig has grown to protect Grotle's entire head and back. Turtwig's sprout has migrated to Grotle's back and grown into full bushes. Grotle will sometimes start to roll around in dirt and mud. This allows minerals to seep in and make its shell even harder. Grotle may also carry nut-like acorns on its bushes.

None.

Grotle has the ability to sense where pure water wells up.

==Trivia==
* Grotle is the heaviest of any of the middle evolutions of the starters and heavier than all of the final stages of the starters except for {{p|Venusaur}}, {{p|Meganium}} and {{p|Torterra}}. Interestingly, all of these Pokémon are Grass-type.
* {{AP|In the anime|Grotle}}, Grotle is said to be slower now that it has evolved. However, Grotle has a higher base Speed than {{p|Turtwig|its pre-evolved form}}.

===Origin===
Grotle is based on a {{wp|snapping turtle}}.
====Name origin====
"Grotle" comes from ''grove'', ''grow'', or ''ground'' and ''turtle''. Its Japanese name, Hayashigame, derives from 林 ''hayashi'', forest or grove, and 亀 ''kame'', turtle.

==In other languages==

==Synopsis==
[[Byron]], the Gym Leader of [[Canalave City]], has finally returned from his training on [[Iron Island]]. {{Ash}} and his {{ashfr|friends}} come to the gym in order for Ash to have his gym battle with Byron. However, they are once again met by the Gym's referee who informs Ash that Byron cannot accept a challenge as he is currently arguing with his son. Upon entering the gym Ash and co. find Byron's son is none other than [[Roark]], the [[Gym Leader]] of [[Oreburgh City]]. He greets Ash and friends, but then gets back to fighting with his father over who loves fossils more. In an attempt to prove his love of fossils Byron shows Roark, Ash, [[Brock]] and {{an|Dawn}} his collection of fossils, including his special {{p|Anorith}} fossil which is three times the size of a normal Anorith. Byron and Roark then begin to fight over who has the better revived fossil Pokémon, [[Byron's Bastiodon]] or [[Roark's Rampardos]]. Ash suggests they battle to see whose fossil Pokémon is better.

Before the battle Ash and friends are speaking to Roark where it is revealed that Roark is there to convince his dad to come home to [[Oreburgh City]] for his parent's anniversary. A flashback is shown in which Byron is shown leaving Oreburgh to go to Canalave City as the Pokémon League asked him to take over the gym there. He also states that Iron Island will be a good place for him to find more fossils. He leaves Roark in charge of the Oreburgh Gym where he was formerly the gym leader. He also leaves his wife behind in his move.

Roark starts the fight by having Rampardos repeatedly using {{m|Zen Headbutt}}, while Byron instructs Bastiodon to counter with {{m|Iron Defense}}. Ash notes how powerful Zen Headbutt looks, and Brock replies that he thinks Byron actually has the upper hand. Byron instructs his Bastiodon to use {{m|Flamethrower}}, which Rampardos dodges. Roark then has his Rampardos use Flamethrower and Byron counters with {{m|Flash Cannon}}.

Meanwhile, Team Rocket has dug a hole into Byron's fossil collection. James and Meowth recognize how valuable the fossils are and the group decides to steal them.

Back at the battle Roark has Rampardos use {{m|Head Smash}}, which Byron combats with {{m|Iron Head}}. After the collision, Bastiodon seems to have the upper hand. All of a sudden an alarm goes off and Byron calls off the battle to go check on his fossils. Upon entering the fossil room the first thing Byron notices is how expertly Team Rocket dug their entry hole and doesn't even notice that his fossils are missing. He then goes on to talk about Team Rocket's escape hole which he concludes must have been dug by a machine. Roark has to point out that all of his fossils are missing before he notices. The group then jumps down Team Rocket's escape hole in an attempt to retrieve the stole fossils.

At the other end of the hole Team Rocket is seen emerging with a drill mecha carrying the fossils. They begin to walk away when Byron, Roark, Ash, Brock and Dawn peek their heads out from inside the hole. The group confronts Team Rocket. Team Rocket does a modified version of their theme. After they finish Byron begins a speech where instead of getting mad at them for stealing his fossils he tells them they should only dig their holes by hand and not use machines. Roark points out to him that these are bad people who stole his fossils and Byron doesn't believe that such good hole diggers could have taken his fossils. Team Rocket then admits to stealing the fossils.

Roark sends out his Rampardos and Byron sends out his {{TP|Byron|Bastiodon}} to attempt to get the fossils back from Team Rocket. They attack the mecha which takes almost no damage. Meowth, who is controlling the mecha, then has it start throwing chunks of earth at Rampardos and Bastiodon. Roark instructs Rampardos to use {{m|Zen Headbutt}} on the mecha. It is stopped by some of the chunks of earth that are being thrown at it by the mecha. The mecha then picks up some larger chunks and throws them at Rampardos. As it seems Rampardos is about to be seriously hurt by the tossed chunks of earth Byron has Bastiodon jump in the way and use Iron Defense which blocks the chunks of earth. Byron tells [[Roark]] that his is why he wants Roark to worry about defense more. He then tells Roark to have Rampardos use {{m|Head Smash}}. The attack knocks over the mecha and Ash then has Pikachu use Thunderbolt. The mecha appears unaffected and gets back on its treads. Meowth says the Thunderbolts can't hurt the mecha but he is a little worried about all the head butts. Team Rocket begins to leave and Roark and Byron have their Pokémon use Head Smash and Iron Head respectively. The attacks create two small holes in the back of the mecha. Brock then suggests to Ash that he have Pikachu use {{m|Thunderbolt}} on the holes in the mecha. Ash does and the mecha explodes sending Team Rocket blasting off. The fossils were also launched but not as far and as they fall back down near the group Roark and Byron are both worried about the safety of the fossils. After they have landed the pair goes to make sure they are safe. Roark says they are all safe.

Byron then shows Roark his most prized fossil, a fossil of a Sunkern leaf. There is a flashback in which it is revealed that the {{p|Sunkern}} [[fossil]] was found by Roark as a child. It was the first fossil he found and he gave it to his father. Back in the present, Byron and Roark make amends. Dawn tells Ash and Brock that seeing Roark and Byron making up makes her miss [[Johanna|her mom]]. Brock tells Dawn he was thinking of giving his family a call since its long overdue, and Ash agrees that he should phone [[Delia Ketchum|his mom]] too. Byron then tells Ash that he is sorry he has kept him waiting for his gym battle but he will have to wait longer as his Bastiodon needs time to rest. Ash agrees and the gym battle is scheduled for the next day.

==Trivia==
[[File:Shield and spear.png|thumb|The shield and the spear]]
* [[Professor Oak's Pokémon lecture]]: {{p|Shiftry}}
* This marks the second time two offical [[Gym Leader]]s battle each other. The first time was [[Brock]] against [[Lola|his mother]] in ''[[H001|A Family That Battles Together Stays Together]]''. Coincidentally, it was also a parent-child battle.
** Also, [[Misty]] had a battle against an [[Dorian|unofficial Gym Leader]] in ''[[EP256|Just Add Water]]''.
* The legend of the sharpest spear that could break any shield and the strongest shield that couldn't be broken is referenced in the battle, as {{p|Rampardos}} has the highest Attack stat of any non-legendary Pokémon and {{p|Bastiodon}} has one of the highest Defense stats. This parallels the {{wp|irresistible force paradox}} in Western philosophy.
*[[:a:File:DP107 size.png|The image]] found nearby [[Byron]]'s giant {{p|Anorith}} [[fossil]] is similar to the feature in the [[Pokédex#Sinnoh|Pokédex]] given in [[Sinnoh]].

===Errors===
* When [[Roark]] and [[Byron]] are fighting, for a split second, Byron's beard disappears.

==Synopsis==
[[Byron]], the Gym Leader of [[Canalave City]], has finally returned from his training on [[Iron Island]]. {{Ash}} and his {{ashfr|friends}} come to the gym in order for Ash to have his gym battle with Byron. However, they are once again met by the Gym's referee who informs Ash that Byron cannot accept a challenge as he is currently arguing with his son. Upon entering the gym Ash and co. find Byron's son is none other than [[Roark]], the [[Gym Leader]] of [[Oreburgh City]]. He greets Ash and friends, but then gets back to fighting with his father over who loves fossils more. In an attempt to prove his love of fossils Byron shows Roark, Ash, [[Brock]] and {{an|Dawn}} his collection of fossils, including his special {{p|Anorith}} fossil which is three times the size of a normal Anorith. Byron and Roark then begin to fight over who has the better revived fossil Pokémon, [[Byron's Bastiodon]] or [[Roark's Rampardos]]. Ash suggests they battle to see whose fossil Pokémon is better.

Before the battle Ash and friends are speaking to Roark where it is revealed that Roark is there to convince his dad to come home to [[Oreburgh City]] for his parent's anniversary. A flashback is shown in which Byron is shown leaving Oreburgh to go to Canalave City as the Pokémon League asked him to take over the gym there. He also states that Iron Island will be a good place for him to find more fossils. He leaves Roark in charge of the Oreburgh Gym where he was formerly the gym leader. He also leaves his wife behind in his move.

Roark starts the fight by having Rampardos repeatedly using {{m|Zen Headbutt}}, while Byron instructs Bastiodon to counter with {{m|Iron Defense}}. Ash notes how powerful Zen Headbutt looks, and Brock replies that he thinks Byron actually has the upper hand. Byron instructs his Bastiodon to use {{m|Flamethrower}}, which Rampardos dodges. Roark then has his Rampardos use Flamethrower and Byron counters with {{m|Flash Cannon}}.

Meanwhile, Team Rocket has dug a hole into Byron's fossil collection. James and Meowth recognize how valuable the fossils are and the group decides to steal them.

Back at the battle Roark has Rampardos use {{m|Head Smash}}, which Byron combats with {{m|Iron Head}}. After the collision, Bastiodon seems to have the upper hand. All of a sudden an alarm goes off and Byron calls off the battle to go check on his fossils. Upon entering the fossil room the first thing Byron notices is how expertly Team Rocket dug their entry hole and doesn't even notice that his fossils are missing. He then goes on to talk about Team Rocket's escape hole which he concludes must have been dug by a machine. Roark has to point out that all of his fossils are missing before he notices. The group then jumps down Team Rocket's escape hole in an attempt to retrieve the stole fossils.

At the other end of the hole Team Rocket is seen emerging with a drill mecha carrying the fossils. They begin to walk away when Byron, Roark, Ash, Brock and Dawn peek their heads out from inside the hole. The group confronts Team Rocket. Team Rocket does a modified version of their theme. After they finish Byron begins a speech where instead of getting mad at them for stealing his fossils he tells them they should only dig their holes by hand and not use machines. Roark points out to him that these are bad people who stole his fossils and Byron doesn't believe that such good hole diggers could have taken his fossils. Team Rocket then admits to stealing the fossils.

Roark sends out his Rampardos and Byron sends out his {{TP|Byron|Bastiodon}} to attempt to get the fossils back from Team Rocket. They attack the mecha which takes almost no damage. Meowth, who is controlling the mecha, then has it start throwing chunks of earth at Rampardos and Bastiodon. Roark instructs Rampardos to use {{m|Zen Headbutt}} on the mecha. It is stopped by some of the chunks of earth that are being thrown at it by the mecha. The mecha then picks up some larger chunks and throws them at Rampardos. As it seems Rampardos is about to be seriously hurt by the tossed chunks of earth Byron has Bastiodon jump in the way and use Iron Defense which blocks the chunks of earth. Byron tells [[Roark]] that his is why he wants Roark to worry about defense more. He then tells Roark to have Rampardos use {{m|Head Smash}}. The attack knocks over the mecha and Ash then has Pikachu use Thunderbolt. The mecha appears unaffected and gets back on its treads. Meowth says the Thunderbolts can't hurt the mecha but he is a little worried about all the head butts. Team Rocket begins to leave and Roark and Byron have their Pokémon use Head Smash and Iron Head respectively. The attacks create two small holes in the back of the mecha. Brock then suggests to Ash that he have Pikachu use {{m|Thunderbolt}} on the holes in the mecha. Ash does and the mecha explodes sending Team Rocket blasting off. The fossils were also launched but not as far and as they fall back down near the group Roark and Byron are both worried about the safety of the fossils. After they have landed the pair goes to make sure they are safe. Roark says they are all safe.

Byron then shows Roark his most prized fossil, a fossil of a Sunkern leaf. There is a flashback in which it is revealed that the {{p|Sunkern}} [[fossil]] was found by Roark as a child. It was the first fossil he found and he gave it to his father. Back in the present, Byron and Roark make amends. Dawn tells Ash and Brock that seeing Roark and Byron making up makes her miss [[Johanna|her mom]]. Brock tells Dawn he was thinking of giving his family a call since its long overdue, and Ash agrees that he should phone [[Delia Ketchum|his mom]] too. Byron then tells Ash that he is sorry he has kept him waiting for his gym battle but he will have to wait longer as his Bastiodon needs time to rest. Ash agrees and the gym battle is scheduled for the next day.

==Trivia==
[[File:Shield and spear.png|thumb|The shield and the spear]]
* [[Professor Oak's Pokémon lecture]]: {{p|Shiftry}}
* This marks the second time two offical [[Gym Leader]]s battle each other. The first time was [[Brock]] against [[Lola|his mother]] in ''[[H001|A Family That Battles Together Stays Together]]''. Coincidentally, it was also a parent-child battle.
** Also, [[Misty]] had a battle against an [[Dorian|unofficial Gym Leader]] in ''[[EP256|Just Add Water]]''.
* The legend of the sharpest spear that could break any shield and the strongest shield that couldn't be broken is referenced in the battle, as {{p|Rampardos}} has the highest Attack stat of any non-legendary Pokémon and {{p|Bastiodon}} has one of the highest Defense stats. This parallels the {{wp|irresistible force paradox}} in Western philosophy.
*[[:a:File:DP107 size.png|The image]] found nearby [[Byron]]'s giant {{p|Anorith}} [[fossil]] is similar to the feature in the [[Pokédex#Sinnoh|Pokédex]] given in [[Sinnoh]].

===Errors===
When [[Roark]] and [[Byron]] are fighting, for a split second, Byron's beard disappears.

Bulbasurturtwig: /* New member */

I'd be happy to help out with Project Anime. I'm not very good at writing synopses, but I'll be able to create the character lists for many episodes from Master Quest through Advanced Battle, as well as some Orange Islands episodes and a few Johto Journies episodes. I can also put in errors and dub edits for the episodes. --[[User:PAK Man|PAK Man]] 23:50, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

I'm also interested in participating in this project. Specifically, I was wondering if we could add for each episode a "Notes" and "References to past canon" section, similar to the format that the Battlestar Wiki [http://en.battlestarwiki.org/wiki/33 episode guides] have. Other than that, I'm more than willing to provide the usual episode summaries and screenshots. --[[User:Swifty|Swifty]] 13:07, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

I'd be okay, since I can predict when this episode is going to air in the U.S, and I might be right, when I see the episode air, I'll put the actual date in. --[[User:NeverReturn|NeverReturn]]
16:33, 27 February 2007 (GMT)
:Please avoid all predictions or speculative information. Just because you "might be" right doesn't mean you are, unfortunately, and until we are certain of the real date it's best to have no date at all. --[[User:Pie|Pie]] ~[[User talk:Pie|♪]][[Special:Contributions/Pie|♫]] 22:58, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

What am I gonna do? --[[User:NeverReturn|NeverReturn]]
16:33, 27 February 2007 (GMT)
:If you want to know what you can do to help this project, I can whip up a to-do list in a while. --[[User:Pie|Pie]] ~[[User talk:Pie|♪]][[Special:Contributions/Pie|♫]] 23:08, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

Darn it! --[[User:NeverReturn|NeverReturn]]
16:33, 27 February 2007 (GMT)

I'd like to help as well. I've already done a few synopsis sections in the original series. --[[User:Farfetch'd|Dux]]
16:16, 2 January 2008 (GMT)

== Synopsis ==
Okay, after the lack of reformatting on one tipped me off, I'm noting that there are several articles which had the same summary as can be found on Serebii.net. However, they are apparently being credited to Altomare Latias. Do we have permission to use this work? (Even if we do, they need editing - they came up because the @#$@#()% things don't use the é in Pokémon...) --[[User:Pie|Pie]] ~[[User talk:Pie|♪]][[Special:Contributions/Pie|♫]] 01:01, 7 April 2007 (UTC)

I'm going to start adding synopses and any other information I can fill in; I've just started watching the series recently, and am only up to Episode 6, ''[[EP006|Clefairy and the Moon Stone]]'', for which I just finished the synopsis. -- [[User:DrGaellon|DrGaellon]] ([[User talk:DrGaellon|talk]] | [[Special:Contributions/DrGaellon|contribs]]) 19:20, 8 August 2007 (UTC)

I see a different problem. The synopses seem to have WAY too much text now. [[User:Ht14|''ht'']][[User talk:Ht14|''14'']] 22:45, 3 March 2009 (UTC)

== Quotes ==
I just had an idea... maybe a Quotes section should be added to episode articles, split into subsection for English and Japanese? Sort of like what Pokemopolis has for their episode guides, except with quotes that are significant for any reason, not just for dodginess. --[[User:Pie|Pie]] ~[[User talk:Pie|♪]][[Special:Contributions/Pie|♫]] 16:52, 13 May 2007 (UTC)

== Pokemon anime section ==

I would also like to help with this. I could do a Pokemon featured in this episode and battles section. You know like a list of Pokemon used in the episode and the moves and pokemon used in various battles. Unsigned comment by {{u|Slyraccoon007}}
:We already have a list of the Pokémon in the episode. --[[User:Fabu-Vinny|FabuVinny]] [[User talk:Fabu-Vinny|T]]-[[Special:Contributions/Fabu-Vinny|C]]-[[User:Fabu-Vinny/Sandbox|S]] 21:46, 14 May 2007 (UTC)

Well I guess I could do the battles and maybe some synopsises. By slyraccoon007 Could you send me a to do list aswell.

== Timeline of events notice ==

See the template I added to [[EP001#Major events|episode 1]]. Yes, this is partially to give the users more exposure to that article, since I noticed only a few articles link to it when it's relevant to pretty much all anime articles. Anyway, thoughts or comments on the template, before I add it to more articles and find that everyone hates it or something? --[[User:Pie|Pie]] ~[[User talk:Pie|♪]][[Special:Contributions/Pie|♫]] 19:01, 26 July 2007 (UTC)
:Hmm, I definitely don't hate it, but do you think it's worth the time to put it in on all the articles? The important events for that particular episode are listed there, where they should be. Is it necessary to see all the other events too? --[[User:Greengiant|Greengiant]] 19:45, 26 July 2007 (UTC)
::Well, the idea is that if someone wants the information of the major events of many different episodes, but doesn't know about the timeline, that's the section they'll be looking in for all episode articles. --[[User:Pie|Pie]] ~[[User talk:Pie|♪]][[Special:Contributions/Pie|♫]] 22:54, 26 July 2007 (UTC)

==Shortcut Templates==
I created a couple of templates to make typing synopses easier:
*<nowiki>{{AP|Pokémon}}</nowiki> creates a link to Ash's Pokémon, but only shows the Pokémon's name: <nowiki>[[Ash's Pokémon|Pokémon]]</nowiki>
*<nowiki>{{BrockP|Pokémon}}</nowiki> does the same thing for Brock
*<nowiki>{{MistyP|Pokémon}}</nowiki> does the same thing for Misty
*<nowiki>{{TP|Trainer|Pokémon}}</nowiki> does the same thing for any trainer: <nowiki>[[Trainer's Pokémon|Pokémon]]</nowiki>
*<nowiki>{{MTR}}</nowiki> is a shortcut to <nowiki>[[Meowth (Team Rocket)|Meowth]]</nowiki>: {{MTR}}
I generally prefer to subst: shortcut templates like these; that way, the final code saved in the wiki is unambiguous.
:::--[[User:DrGaellon|DrGaellon]] ([[User talk:DrGaellon|talk]] | [[Special:Contributions/DrGaellon|contribs]]) 04:41, 9 August 2007 (UTC)

== I think this Project needs to include more articles. ==

Well, there is no project that has goal on the anime characters, (like [[Ash Ketchum]]) so I think this project should also help on the articles about the pokémon characters, and their pokémon's pages (like [[Ash's Charizard]]), that would make this project so much more useful. I can't see any reason why it should only focus on the episode articles. After all, it's Project Anime, not Project Episodes. What do you guys think about that idea? [[User:TheBlazikenMaster|TheBlazikenMaster]] 15:51, 18 August 2007 (UTC)

== Anime Definitions ==
Should we add anime definitions of [[Pokémon]] and moves? I mean the [[Pokédex]] has identifyed almost every Pokémon and in some epiosdes Brock or someone else identifyed moves. --[[User:Theryguy512|Ryguy]].

== I got an idea for the character pages. ==

Attack used should also include the first use of the move. I will make a fake profile for "Darklord's Rayquaza" just to give you an example:

===Moves used===

* {{m|Fly}}
First used: The hell of heaven in that episode Darklord noticed that he didn't need a helicopter and could just use Rayquaza to fly.

*{{m|Hyper Beam}}
First used: Strong training is a good one It trained for 2 episodes, in this one he get's it when he beats the class.

*{{m|ExtremeSpeed}}
First used: Wow, that's fast Rayquaza noticed it can go so fast, in that episode the Rayquaza went extremely fast after Felk's Fearow.

===Back to the discussion===
So what do you guys think? Would that work? [[User:TheBlazikenMaster|TheBlazikenMaster]] 22:49, 7 September 2007 (UTC)

Great idea!!! [[User:Misty-may-dawn rulz|Misty-may-dawn rulz]] 08:15, 11 June 2008 (UTC)

==How to help==

HI!I'd like to help, how can I?--[[Image:May.png|30px]][[User:Haruka uzumaki|Haruka]] [[User talk:Haruka uzumaki|uzumaki]] [[Image:Ani038MS.gif|32px]] 01:03, 13 October 2007 (UTC)

Can I help too?--[[User:Dawnfan47|Dawnfan47]] 20:16, 8 December 2007 (UTC)[[Image:Spr 3e 370.gif]]

I like to help too. I've already wrote the synopsis for some episodes. [[Image:Ani448MS.gif]][[User:Jmath|'''Jmath''']][[Image:Ani447MS.gif]][[User talk:Jmath|'''Talk''']][[Image:Ani448MS.gif]] 20:27, 8 December 2007 (UTC)

== Broadcast date ==

Don't you think that placing the broadcasted date in the first paragraph is kind of redundant because in the infobox of each episode, it says it right under the picture [[user:Moldy orange|Moldy orange]]

== www.serebii.net ==

May we use the synopsis provided by Serebii? [[User:Misty-may-dawn rulz|Misty-may-dawn rulz]] 08:18, 11 June 2008 (UTC)
:No, because that would be copying someone else's hard work. [[User:TheBlazikenMaster|TheBlazikenMaster]] 10:58, 11 June 2008 (UTC)
::But most of the pages have exactly the same synopsis as in Serebii, especially the movies! If you don't believe me, then compare the two for yourself. :'''[[User:Misty-may-dawn rulz|Misty-May-Dawn]] [[User talk:Misty-may-dawn rulz|rulz]]''' 06:19, 12 June 2008 (UTC)
:::Then they should be rewritten, I have noticed more than once synopsis copied from somewhere else being removed from here. Just because most articles have something doesn't make it right. Likewise, just because many people believe something is right doesn't make it so.[[User:TheBlazikenMaster|TheBlazikenMaster]] 07:55, 12 June 2008 (UTC)
::::I do believe you, but I also know that copying someone else's work without permission is not alright. That's exactly why there is an FBI warning on each DVD. [[User:TheBlazikenMaster|TheBlazikenMaster]] 08:02, 12 June 2008 (UTC)
:::::ok, ok, I understand... :'''[[User:Misty-may-dawn rulz|Misty-May-Dawn]] [[User talk:Misty-may-dawn rulz|rulz]]''' 10:02, 12 June 2008 (UTC)
::::::Some of the summaries on this site were given to both Bulbapedia and Serebii to use. (For example, the summaries Altomare Latios did around the Master Quest era. The movie ones also fall under this, though they are far too large for our purposes.) However, we must not take any other synopsis without the writer's permission and Serebii does put a disclaimer to not copy from his site. --[[User:Fabu-Vinny|FabuVinny]] |[[User talk:Fabu-Vinny|Talk Page]]| 09:57, 13 June 2008 (UTC)
:::::::I promised you all that I am not going to copy Serebii's synopsis. I mean to keep my promise, so don't worry. '''[[User:Misty-may-dawn rulz|Misty-May-Dawn]] [[User talk:Misty-may-dawn rulz|rulz]]''' 10:07, 13 June 2008 (UTC)
::::::::I just wanted to make sure the situation was clear for everyone, especially concerning the ones that are the same. --[[User:Fabu-Vinny|FabuVinny]] |[[User talk:Fabu-Vinny|Talk Page]]| 10:12, 13 June 2008 (UTC)

== Project Anime ==

I would like to sign up for this project please, and on the main article it said I should enquire on the talk page.

== Battle Dimension Synopses ==

Can I do some of the synopses of Battle Dimension?
I'm writing them for my website anyway so it wouldn't be too much trouble. [[User:Rpp|Rpp]] 22:21, 30 August 2008 (UTC)Rpp
:Do you really need to ask? if there isn't a synopsis, feel free to write one for the episode! ''[[User:Moldy orange|'''Moldy''']][[User talk:Moldy orange|'''Orange''']]'' 22:29, 30 August 2008 (UTC)
I just want to be an official member of Project Anime. That's why I asked. [[User:Rpp|Rpp]] 02:13, 1 September 2008 (UTC)Rpp

Lol. I could watch this go on but thank you. [[User:Rpp|Rpp]] 00:20, 3 September 2008 (UTC)Rpp

== Paragrahs ==

I've been noticing that a lot of anime episode articles have long paragraphs in the Synopsis and I find it pretty uncomfortable. Shouldn't there be put a limit on how long a paragraph can be in each episode article? Each paragraph should take short time to read, but really I've seen too many episode articles with long paragraphs. What I suggest is a limit, I suggest a limit to how long each paragraph in episode articles can be, what do you guys think? [[User:TheBlazikenMaster|TheBlazikenMaster]] 22:57, 22 September 2008 (UTC)
:Ther is no limit on Paragraphs written in books and English, The problem here is that so few of them are written well... the ones that are written well have an adequate paragraph length. It is the ones that need revized anyway that poae the problem, but when they are revised for actual content, they can have the paragraph length reduced. It isn't something we can really pose a limit on. ''[[User:Moldy orange|'''Moldy''']][[User talk:Moldy orange|'''Orange''']]'' 23:01, 22 September 2008 (UTC)

== I'm in! ==

I decided to put my name on the list and become a participant of this project. I'm myself watching the whole series from the beginning again, and I'm now running at EP074, so I thought I could write synopses for the episodes that are missing one. I also made a list about the episode articles needing help with the synopsis, if you'd like to see if you could help with any of those episodes. List: [[User:UltimateSephiroth/Anime episodes with missing or partial synopses]].

== Standards askew ==

If we cannot confirm abilities of Pokémon who only have one ability in the games, how can we confirm genders for single-gendered or non-gendered Pokémon? — [[User talk:The dark lord trombonator|THE TROM]] — 06:49, 1 January 2009 (UTC)

I'm [[User:DarkSally|DarkSally]] . I've joined this project because I write the Italian titles of the Battle Dimension Italian episodes. --18:42, 17 April 2009 (UTC)

Count me in. I have written several Pokédex entries and plan to get them all done for the episodes I have seen. I can also write some synopsis when I have time. -[[User:MasterKenobi|MasterKenobi]] 00:57, 5 June 2009 (UTC)

== Future dates for Pokemon season 12 edited ==

I'm just telling you that I edited all future dates of the pokemon episodes. However I do not know the dubs, I'm just being accurate on the weekly schedule. If that isn't allowed, I'm sorry. Just trying to contribute to something. - ''unsigned comment from {{u|Piplup}} ([[User talk:Piplup|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Piplup|contribs]]) ''
:Yeah, never just assume an airdate like that. PUSA hasn't even given us a title for Season 12 yet, and it looks as though Season 12 might not even start on May 9. --[[User:HoennMaster|Hoenn]][[User talk:HoennMaster|Master]] 17:37, 26 April 2009 (UTC)

== Present tense to Past tense. ==

I have been putting in the <nowiki>{{tense}}</nowiki> template on every episode that needs it and . . . EVERY EPISODE SEEMS TO NEED IT!!! I have been doing this to help Project Anime a ''little'', but turns out this is almost like one big task. I think it's about time I get some help on this. Nearly every episode needs this tag and I can't do this all on my {{tt|own|well I could but it would take forever}}. So can someone who has the time help me out with this. And then once every eposide that needs the tensing template has the tensing template we need to fix the pages which I will need help with. *puff* This is almost like a project in itself. Then of course I'll be working on completing incomplete synopsises that need to be completed. '''''Someone HELP me'''''

::::::Why does it matter what tense they are in? It should only matter when it goes back and forth for the same episode. It does not matter which tense is used, as long as it is consistent throughout its entirety. Maybe, since every episode page already has it in the present tense, why are we changing every episode page to the past tense? why not change the couple of pages from the past to the present if you ''have'' to do something.

I agree with Nate. As long as the tense stays constant through an article, it should be well as is. An episode shouldn't be spoken of in the past anyway, for the same reason why a the contents of a novel aren't spoken of in the past tense.

== Movies ==

Heya anime peeps. Any reason why the movies don't seem to be covered by Project Anime? They are, technically, anime, afterall. —'''darklord[[User talk:The dark lord trombonator|trom]]''' 02:59, 5 August 2009 (UTC)

I think all characters should be covered by either Project COD or Project CharacterDex (since almost all non-COD characters appeared in at least one other canon other than the anime). If we put too many things under the Project Anime umbrella it will be too hard to handle. I agree with the anime locations, though. --[[User:ElectAbuzzzz|'''electAbuzz''']][[User talk:ElectAbuzzzz|'''z''']][[Special:Contributions/ElectAbuzzzz|'''z''']] 16:56, 15 August 2009 (UTC)
