'''Mythical Pokémon''' (Japanese: '''{{ruby|幻|まぼろし}}のポケモン''' ''Maboroshi no Pokemon'', "Illusory Pokémon") are a group of rare {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} obtained through special means.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20141019114239/http://www.pokemon.co.jp/ex/pokescrap2014/pokemon もらえるプレゼントを詳しく紹介｜ポケモンスクラップ　オメガルビー・アルファサファイア　幻のポケモンたちをもらおう！　キャンペーン] (Japanese, archive)</ref> Mythical Pokémon are related to [[Legendary Pokémon]] but are a distinct group.

Traditionally, in the [[core series]] Pokémon games, Mythical Pokémon were exclusively available via {{pkmn2|event|event distributions}}. However, starting with [[Generation VI]], several Mythical Pokémon can also be obtained during normal gameplay, or from event distributions that are available indefinitely. As of [[Pokémon Legends: Z-A]], the only Mythical Pokémon that cannot be obtained in the core series games outside of limited-time events are {{p|Victini}}, the Original Color form of {{p|Magearna}}, and both forms of {{p|Zarude}}.

As of {{CURRENTGEN}}, there are currently 23 Mythical Pokémon.

==Terminology==
{{main|Terminology of Legendary and Mythical Pokémon}}

In Japanese media, Mythical Pokémon and [[Legendary Pokémon]] have always been presented as distinct groups. In non-Japanese media prior to [[Generation V]], Mythical Pokémon and Legendary Pokémon were both considered to be Legendary Pokémon, and the term Mythical Pokémon was unused. The first time a group of Mythical Pokémon was consistently distinguished from Legendary Pokémon in non-Japanese media was in {{g|Ranger: Guardian Signs}}, where they were referred to as '''Rare Pokémon'''.

Since Generation V, Legendary Pokémon and Mythical Pokémon are presented as two distinct groups in all official media. For example, several games have promoted that every Legendary Pokémon can be obtained in a particular set of games, even though not all Mythical Pokémon can be.<ref>[[Media:CoroCoro November 2014 Mythical Places.jpg|November 2014 CoroCoro Comic]] ([[bulbanews:Mega Beedrill, Mega Pidgeot revealed|Bulbanews]])</ref><ref>[https://swordshield.pokemon.com/en-us/expansionpass/features/#legendary-pokemon New features to spice up your adventure | Official Website | Pokémon Sword and Pokémon Shield]</ref>

==List of Mythical Pokémon==
Of the {{numpkmn}} Pokémon species, 23 are Mythical Pokémon ({{#expr:(23/{{numpkmn}}*100) round2}}%). Each released [[generation]] has introduced at least one Mythical Pokémon.

===Generation I===
Only one Mythical Pokémon was introduced in [[Generation I]].

====Mew====
{{p|Mew}} is a Mythical Pokémon {{pkmn|discovery|first discovered}} in the [[Kanto]] region. It is believed to contain the genetic codes of all Pokémon in its DNA. {{p|Mewtwo}} was created after a series of experiments based on Mew, which resulted in a mutated clone of it.

Mew's base stat total of 600 and a stat distribution of 100 to each stat created a trend followed by several Mythical Pokémon released later in the series, including {{p|Celebi}}, {{p|Jirachi}}, {{p|Manaphy}}, {{form|Shaymin|Land Forme}} {{p|Shaymin}}, and {{p|Victini}}.

===Generation II===
One Mythical Pokémon was introduced in [[Generation II]].

====Celebi====
{{p|Celebi}} is a Mythical Pokémon {{pkmn|discovery|first discovered}} in the [[Johto]] region. It is referred to as the guardian of forests, protecting and nourishing them as it [[Time travel|travels through time]]. Celebi shares a special connection with the [[Ilex Forest]] in [[Johto]] and the [[Agate Village]]'s {{DL|Agate Village|Relic Forest}} in [[Orre]], having the [[Ilex Forest shrine]] and the [[Relic Stone]] as monuments to honor it in those respective areas.

A {{Shiny}} {{mdc|Celebi|2}} plays a major role in [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time, Darkness]], and [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky|Sky]], serving as a friend and ally to {{mdc|Grovyle|2}}.

===Generation III===
Two Mythical Pokémon were introduced in [[Generation III]].

====Jirachi====
{{p|Jirachi}} is a Mythical Pokémon {{pkmn|discovery|first discovered}} in the [[Hoenn]] region. It is said to be able to grant any wishes written on the tags on its head when it wakes up, which it only does for seven days once every thousand years. If in danger, however, it can fight without waking up.

<gallery class="c" heights="200" widths="200">

====Deoxys====
{{p|Deoxys}} is a Mythical Pokémon {{pkmn|discovery|first discovered}} in the [[Hoenn]] region. It mutated from a space virus when exposed to a laser beam. It is able to change its {{form|Deoxys|form}}, altering its appearance and traits. The crystal on its chest acts as its brain, as well as a defense mechanism.

Although it retained a base stat total of 600, Deoxys was the first Mythical Pokémon to have a base stat distribution other than 100 in every stat.

While Deoxys originally had little impact on the story of [[Generation III]], {{pkmn|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}} introduced the [[Delta Episode]], a mission following the {{player}}'s first completion of the [[Hoenn League]] in which the player must stop a meteor from hitting the planet by destroying it with a befriended {{p|Rayquaza}}, revealing a Deoxys within. This marked the first time a Mythical Pokémon was available in-game without the need to attend an event or use a download code.

===Generation IV===
Five Mythical Pokémon were introduced in [[Generation IV]].

====Manaphy and Phione====
{{main|Sea guardians}}
The sea guardians—{{p|Manaphy}} and {{p|Phione}}—are a duo of Mythical Pokémon {{pkmn|discovery|first discovered}} in the [[Sinnoh]] region. Manaphy are born on cold seafloors, also swimming great distances to return to their birthplace, and are born with a wondrous power to bond with any kind of Pokémon. Phione live in warm seas, using the inflation sac on their heads to search for food and to drift in packs, always returning to the place of their birth.

Manaphy and Phione have the unique ability among Mythical Pokémon to {{pkmn|breeding|breed}} with {{p|Ditto}} in captivity to produce Phione. Phione cannot, however, [[Evolution|evolve]] into Manaphy. {{g|Legends: Arceus}} is the only game in which Phione can be caught; in all other games, the only legitimate way to obtain one in-game is to breed a Manaphy or another Phione.

====Darkrai====
{{p|Darkrai}} is a Mythical Pokémon {{pkmn|discovery|first discovered}} in the [[Sinnoh]] region. It chases people and Pokémon away from its territory by causing them to experience deep, nightmarish slumbers. However, it is merely protecting itself and means no harm. It is particularly active on moonless nights.

In the [[Mega Dimension]] DLC for {{g|Legends: Z-A}}, Darkrai has gained the ability to [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] through the use of its [[Mega Stone]], the [[Darkranite]].

====Shaymin====
{{p|Shaymin}} is a Mythical Pokémon {{pkmn|discovery|first discovered}} in the [[Sinnoh]] region. Shaymin live in flower patches and avoid detection by curling up to look like a flowering plant. Shaymin are able to dissolve toxins in the air to transform ruined land into a lush field of flowers. When sensing gratitude, the flowers all over its body burst into bloom. When exposed to the blooming [[Gracidea|Gracidea flower]] during the daytime, Shaymin becomes {{form|Shaymin|Sky Forme}} Shaymin. Shaymin will revert to its Land Forme at night, while {{status|frozen}} or, before [[Generation VII]], when deposited into the [[Pokémon Storage System]].

====Arceus====
{{p|Arceus}} is a {{type|Normal}} Mythical Pokémon {{pkmn|discovery|first discovered}} in the [[Sinnoh]] region. According to mythology, Arceus emerged from an Egg before the universe even existed and then shaped the world with its 1,000 arms. Arceus's [[signature Ability]], {{a|Multitype}}, allows it to {{form|Arceus|change its form}} and [[type]] depending on which Plate it [[held item|holds]]. This will also change the type of its [[signature move]], {{m|Judgment}}.

As the creator of the [[lake guardians]] and the three [[Pokémon of myth]], it is often viewed by fans as the [[Legendary leader|leader]] of both trios. It is unique in this regard, as it is the only Mythical Pokémon to be considered the master of a Legendary trio, and the only Pokémon to be considered the master of two.

===Generation V===
Four Mythical Pokémon were introduced in [[Generation V]].

====Victini====
{{p|Victini}} is a Mythical Pokémon {{pkmn|discovery|first discovered}} in the [[Unova]] region. It is said that this Pokémon brings victory. It creates an unlimited supply of energy inside its body, which it shares with those who touch it.

Victini is notable for appearing before the first partner Pokémon of its [[Generation V|debut generation]], giving it the [[List of Pokémon by Unova Pokédex number|Unova Pokédex number]] #000, a first in the Pokémon series.

====Keldeo====
{{p|Keldeo}} is a Mythical Pokémon {{pkmn|discovery|first discovered}} in the [[Unova]] region. Keldeo is also the fourth member of the [[Swords of Justice]]. In {{g|Black 2 and White 2}}, Keldeo gained a {{form|Keldeo|second form}}, its Resolute Form. After triggering an event in the [[Pledge Grove]], the other Swords of Justice—{{p|Cobalion}}, {{p|Virizion}}, and {{p|Terrakion}}—will teach Keldeo {{m|Secret Sword}}. It will remain in its Resolute Form as long as it knows Secret Sword.

====Meloetta====
{{p|Meloetta}} is a Mythical Pokémon {{pkmn|discovery|first discovered}} in the [[Unova]] region. Meloetta has two different {{form|Meloetta|Formes}}: Aria Forme and Pirouette Forme. Legend says that it once played a song and danced so lightly, it filled people's hearts with joy. However, when sorrow darkened the world, it lost the melody. Using {{m|Relic Song}} changes its form.

====Genesect====
{{p|Genesect}} is a Mythical Pokémon {{pkmn|discovery|first discovered}} in the [[Unova]] region. Originally an ancient insect Pokémon who was feared as the strongest of hunters more than 300 million years ago, Team Plasma revived it from a [[Fossil]] in an attempt to create the strongest Pokémon in existence. However, after learning of the project, [[N]] had it canceled along with [[P2 Laboratory]] shut down because he felt that Pokémon, who he thought to be perfect beings, would lose their beauty if modified by science. A {{tc|Scientist}} named Dudley secretly kept working on it, angry that N denied his talent. This scientist reconstructed Genesect and installed the cannon on its back. Genesect uses special [[Drive]]s to make variations to its signature move, {{m|Techno Blast}}.

===Generation VI===
Three Mythical Pokémon were introduced in [[Generation VI]].

====Diancie====
{{p|Diancie}} is a Mythical Pokémon {{pkmn|discovery|first discovered}} in the [[Kalos]] region. While never shown in the games, it is said to be the result of a {{p|Carbink}} that underwent a mutation. It can create diamonds to protect itself. It's implied that Diancie is somehow related to [[Mega Crystal]]s, the [[Anistar City]] [[Anistar City#Sundial|Sundial]], and by extension, [[Mega Stone]]s.

In {{g|Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire}}, Diancie gained the ability to [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] through the use of its [[Mega Stone]], the [[Diancite]].

====Hoopa====
{{p|Hoopa}} is a Mythical Pokémon {{pkmn|discovery|first discovered}} in the [[Kalos]] region. In {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, Hoopa gained two {{form|Hoopa|Formes}}: Confined Form and Unbound Form. It is said to be able to use its gold rings to open {{M|Hyperspace Hole}}s to warp space and take things it likes and carry them away into other [[Dimension]]s.

Long ago, Hoopa had its power sealed in the [[Prison Bottle]], Hoopa Unbound became Hoopa Confined, using it again allows Hoopa to regain its Unbound Form and remain in it for three days, after which it transforms back to Hoopa Confined. It will also transform back if deposited in the PC.

====Volcanion====
{{p|Volcanion}} is a Mythical Pokémon {{pkmn|discovery|first discovered}} in the [[Kalos]] region. It uses steam from arms on its back to disappear in fog and blow away mountains. It lives in mountains uninhabited by humans. According to the editor of the {{DL|Estival Avenue|Lumiose Press}}, Volcanion may have an organ unique to it inside its body that is hot enough to instantly vaporize water into steam to use in attacks. There is also a report that suggests that Volcanion may have used its power to destroy a mountain range where Kalos was founded. Volcanion is also worshiped in several regions, as a "nation-building Pokémon" due to its ability to alter the landscape for people to live on.

===Generation VII===
Five Mythical Pokémon were introduced in [[Generation VII]].

====Magearna====
{{p|Magearna}} is a Mythical Pokémon {{pkmn|discovery|first discovered}} in the [[Alola]] region. It is an [[Artificial Pokémon|artificially made Pokémon]] created by a scientist for a king's daughter 500 years ago. Its body contains tricky machinery and acts as a vessel for the secret hidden inside its chest. Its core, known as a {{A|Soul-Heart}}, is its true body, an artificial soul. Magearna has the ability to understand emotions and feelings with people. Magearna has a {{form|Magearna|second form}} known as its Original Color form, which is purely cosmetic. This form is stated to be its original appearance, before its paint decomposed overtime.

In the [[Mega Dimension]] DLC for {{g|Legends: Z-A}}, Magearna has gained the ability to [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] through the use of its [[Mega Stone]], the [[Magearnite]]. This Mega Stone can trigger a mechanism that has lain secretly within Magerna to remove its limitations, activating a previously hidden mode which hides away the emotions Magearna had begun to feel.

====Marshadow====
{{p|Marshadow}} is a Mythical Pokémon {{pkmn|discovery|first discovered}} in the [[Alola]] region. Its very existence is the stuff of myth, as very few people have ever seen it. Marshadow is known to travel through the shadows of humans and Pokémon in order to become stronger by copying the power of movements within said shadows. It has a [[List of Pokémon with form differences#Form-like transformations|second form]] known as Zenith Marshadow, which is triggered when its fighting spirit starts burning.

====Zeraora====
{{p|Zeraora}} is an {{type|Electric}} Mythical Pokémon {{pkmn|discovery|first discovered}} in the [[Alola]] region. Zeraora was first introduced in {{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}}. Zeraora can channel a powerful magnetic field through the electric currents located in its paw-pads. The magnetic field allows it to levitate and fly through the sky and travel as fast as a lightning strike.

In the [[Mega Dimension]] DLC for {{g|Legends: Z-A}}, Zeraora has gained the ability to [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] through the use of its [[Mega Stone]], the [[Zeraorite]]. Mega Evolution removes an internal limiter within Zeraora's body that contains the electricity in its body, allowing Mega Zeraora to accumulate and store electric energy equivalent to 10 bolts of lightning, allowing Its stored energy to be potent enough for it to easily fell multiple nearby opponents in a single strike.

====Meltan and Melmetal====
{{p|Meltan}} and its evolved form {{p|Melmetal}} are a pair of Mythical Pokémon. The pair were introduced in the core series in {{LGPE}}, although it first appeared in {{g|GO}}, by way of large numbers of {{p|Ditto}} disguised as Meltan. Later, it was revealed that Meltan can [[Evolution|evolve]] into {{p|Melmetal}}.

Meltan is known to be curious and expressive. It is instinctively drawn to metal that it could dissolve and absorb, including other Meltan. This behavior allows them to combine and evolve into Melmetal. Melmetal was worshiped in ancient times for creating metal. After its lifespan reached its end 3,000 years ago, it turned into several Meltan, however its worshipers stored the Meltan in Mystery Boxes where they can be kept safe until they can fuse into a Melmetal once again.

In [[Pokémon Sword and Shield]], Melmetal gained the ability to [[Gigantamax]]. In a distant land, legends tell about a cyclopean giant, which was, In fact, a Melmetal that was flooded with [[Galar particles|Gigantamax energy]].

===Generation VIII===
One Mythical Pokémon was introduced in [[Generation VIII]]. Unlike previous generations, there were no new Mythical Pokémon in the game data or code of {{g|Sword and Shield}} when the games were released. However, a new Mythical Pokémon was added to the game in update 1.2.0.

====Zarude====
{{p|Zarude}} is a Mythical Pokémon {{pkmn|discovery|first discovered}} in the [[Galar]] region. It can use the vines from its body for a variety of purposes, such as healing. It is known to live in packs, residing in dense forests. Zarude has a quick wit which it uses in battle along with its claws and other means of attacking.

===Generation IX===
One Mythical Pokémon was introduced in [[Generation IX]]. Like the previous generation, there were no new Mythical Pokémon in the game data or code of {{g|Scarlet and Violet}} when the games were released. However, a new Mythical Pokémon was added to the game in update 3.0.0 and was officially released in [[The Hidden Treasure of Area Zero]] [[Mochi Mayhem|Epilogue: Mochi Mayhem]].

====Pecharunt====
{{p|Pecharunt}} is a Mythical Pokémon {{pkmn|discovery|first discovered}} in [[Kitakami]]. It produces [[Mochi|Binding mochi]], which it feeds to other Pokémon and humans. The mochi draws out one's desires and potential abilities, but those who taste it become chained to Pecharunt's will.

Pecharunt is the master of the [[Loyal Three]]; it met {{p|Okidogi}}, {{p|Munkidori}}, and {{p|Fezandipiti}} on separate occasions, using its Binding Mochi and {{a|Toxic Chain}}s to not only tame them, but also transform them into the [[Legendary Pokémon]] known in the present day, granting them their wishes; strength, cleverness, and beauty respectively, and turning them into its retainers. It led the trio to Kitakami to steal {{ga|Ogerpon}}'s masks for its caretakers back home. After heavily injuring Ogerpon's partner and stealing three of their masks, Ogerpon became enraged and engaged the trio in combat, defeating and slaying them. Unable to defend itself, Ogerpon defeated Pecharunt as well, but it managed to survive by retreating into its shell, rolling deep into the forest.

==In the core series games==
Mythical Pokémon are regarded as among the rarest in [[Pokémon world]] [[Myths and legends involving Legendary and Mythical Pokémon|mythology]]. Some are seemingly unknown to most people, while others are worshiped as deities. They typically receive minimal exposure during normal gameplay, usually alluded to in vague hints. They are then revealed to players months or years after the debut of their respective [[generation]]. Upon being revealed, they are celebrated across the numerous media, often starring in {{pkmn|movie}}s and being featured prominently in {{pkmn|merchandise}}.

Mythical Pokémon can typically only be obtained by [[Mystery Gift]], either directly, or through use of an [[event item]]. Mystery Gift distributions of Mythical Pokémon are often held on special occasions, such as screenings of Pokémon movies, events in retail stores, online distributions, etc. Some Mythical Pokémon can be obtained via {{spin-off games}} that feature special connectivity.

All Mythical Pokémon are [[gender unknown]]. Almost all Mythical Pokémon cannot [[Evolution|evolve]], with the sole exception of {{p|Meltan}}. Almost all Mythical Pokémon cannot {{pkmn|breeding|breed}}, except for {{p|Manaphy}} and {{p|Phione}}, which can breed with {{p|Ditto}} to produce Phione {{pkmn|Egg}}s. Some Mythical Pokémon are part of a [[Groups of Legendary and Mythical Pokémon|group of Legendary Pokémon]].

Much like how [[first partner Pokémon]] appear at the beginning of each [[regional Pokédex]] and their generation's portion of the [[National Pokédex]], Mythical Pokémon typically appear at the very end, and Legendary Pokémon immediately before them. The Mythical Pokémon {{p|Victini}} is the only exception, which appears at the start of the [[Unova Pokédex]] as #000, coming before the region's first partner Pokémon.

Mythical Pokémon are not required to complete the [[Pokédex]] for rewards such as the [[diploma]], except for {{p|Deoxys}} in {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}} and {{p|Arceus}} in {{g|Legends: Arceus}}, which are available as part of the story.

===Availability===
Originally, Mythical Pokémon were exclusively [[Pokémon availability|available]] via event distributions, or other special means such as spin-off games. Over time, however, most Mythical Pokémon have become available within the core series games themselves during the course of regular gameplay. In [[Generation VIII]], several Mythical Pokémon are obtainable in-game by having save files from other Pokémon games on the [[Nintendo Switch]].

{{p|Victini}} and {{p|Zarude}} remain exclusive to limited time events in the core series. {{p|Celebi}} can be caught only on [[Nintendo 3DS]], and the Nintendo eShop's closure has limited the ability to obtain and transfer it.

* {{p|Phione}} (can be {{Shiny}}), via [[breeding]] Manaphy obtained from Pokémon Ranger

===History===
Despite the first Mythical Pokémon, Mew, being added to the original games right before release, the concept of "illusory monsters" (Mythical Monsters) already existed in [[Satoshi Tajiri]]'s pitch for [[Capsule Monsters]]. They were said to be hard to encounter, hard to catch, or be impossible to catch if the player missed their chance. For example, there would be a "Green Dragon" that could only be found rarely in a specific area of a dungeon, and it would have taken around two hours to find and catch.<ref name="ref1">[http://www.glitterberri.com/pokemon-red-blue/early-concept-art/2/ GlitterBerri's Game Translations » Early Concept Art]</ref>

===Statistical average===

==In animation==
===''Pokémon the Series''===
Mythical Pokémon typically make their debut in a {{pkmn|movie}}, rather than first appearing in an {{pkmn|animated series}} episode. Most are held in very high regard in all forms of [[canon]], though their status varies between the {{pkmn|games}} and animated series-related media.

In the animated series and related media, they are often only seen by special {{pkmn|Trainer}}s, such as [[Ash Ketchum]] and people who have a special connection to them. Ill-intentioned people often seek to possess them, due to their power and rarity. The first {{pkmn|Trainer}} seen owning a Mythical Pokémon in an animated series-related release was the [[Iron-Masked Marauder]], the antagonist of ''[[M04|Celebi: The Voice of the Forest]]'', who managed to catch the titular {{OBP|Celebi|M04}} with a [[Dark Ball]], until it was later freed from his control. In the TV series, {{si|Tobias}} holds the distinction of being the first person seen to own a Mythical Pokémon, using a {{p|Darkrai}} to easily defeat most of his opponents in the [[Lily of the Valley Conference]], with Ash being the only Trainer in the tournament to have succeeded in defeating it. {{al|Dia}}, an inhabitant of the [[Ultra Ruin]], befriended the Mythical Pokémon {{p|Zeraora}} with a bond so close that it allowed him to command it in battle. Ash owns a Mythical Pokémon, {{AP|Melmetal}}, which he {{pkmn2|caught}} as a {{p|Meltan}} in the {{aniseries|SM}} episode ''[[SM112|Got Meltan?]]'' after it befriended his {{AP|Rowlet}}.

==Trivia==
*In the [[List of Pokémon by Alola Pokédex number in Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Alola Pokédex]], Mythical Pokémon and other [[Special Pokémon]] are marked by a special golden background in their [[Pokédex]] page instead of a regular blue one.
*{{p|Meltan}} is the only Mythical Pokémon that is capable of [[Evolution]].
*{{p|Melmetal}} is the only Mythical Pokémon that has a [[Gigantamax]] form.
*Not counting [[Mega Evolution]]s and Gigantamax forms, {{type|Fairy}} {{p|Arceus}} is the only [[form]] of a Mythical Pokémon that was introduced in a later generation than the Pokémon itself, as it was introduced in [[Generation VI]]. However, {{p|Magearna}}'s Original Color form, despite being present in [[Generation VII]], was not obtainable until [[Generation VIII]].
*Excluding {{p|Arceus}}'s alternate forms, there are no {{t|Ground}}-, {{t|Ice}}-, or {{t|Dragon}}-type Mythical Pokémon.
*{{t|Psychic}} is the most common type among Mythical Pokémon, with seven of them being either pure or part Psychic type.
*All Mythical Pokémon only have one possible Ability in each form.
*{{p|Pecharunt}} is the only Mythical Pokémon to have never been made available in a [[Cherish Ball]].
*[[Pokédex entry|Pokédex entries]] for {{p|Dratini}} state that it was believed to be a Mythical Pokémon until it was caught by a {{tc|fisher|fisherman}}.
*In [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions|Pokémon FireRed, LeafGreen]], [[Pokémon Emerald Version|Emerald]], [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Versions|Diamond, Pearl]], and [[Pokémon Platinum Version|Platinum]], {{p|Lugia}} and {{p|Ho-Oh}} are treated similarly to Mythical Pokémon. They cannot be obtained through normal gameplay in these games (except in Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum by [[Trade|trading]] with the later-released {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}), and they are not required for Pokédex completion.
*The core series Pokémon game with the most Mythical Pokémon obtainable without limited-time events is [[Pokémon Legends: Z-A]], with twelve Mythical Pokémon being obtainable.
*The [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series]] does not follow Mythical Pokémon being gender unknown. Several Mythical Pokémon are referred to with gendered pronouns, such as [[Celebi (Explorers of Time, Darkness, and Sky)|Celebi]] in [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness|Explorers of Time and Darkness]] being called female, and [[Keldeo (Gates to Infinity)|Keldeo]] and [[Victini (Gates to Infinity)|Victini]] in [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Gates to Infinity|Gates to Infinity]] being called males.
*In the internal data of {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}, {{p|Shiinotic}} is defined as a Mythical Pokémon instead of {{p|Marshadow}}. This is likely due to a typo between their internal names, with 「マシェード」 ''Mashēdo'' (Shiinotic) being mistaken for 「マーシャドー」 ''Māshadō'' (Marshadow).<ref>https://twitter.com/Sibuna_Switch/status/1613414136079323137</ref>

'''Professor Turo''' (Japanese: '''フトゥー''' ''Futu'') is a [[Pokémon Professor]] in [[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet|Pokémon Violet]]. His counterpart in [[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet|Pokémon Scarlet]] is [[Professor Sada]].

==In the core series games==
Before the events of Pokémon Violet, Professor Turo was part of the team that explored the [[Paldea|Great Crater of Paldea]], setting up the [[Zero Lab]] in [[Area Zero]]. There, Turo discovered and named the [[Terastal phenomenon]]. Turo was able to develop a prototype for the [[Tera Orb]], earning him corporate backing for his projects and allowing him to set up a second laboratory in a lighthouse near Cabo Poco. Furthermore, he was able to harness more of the unstable energy, despite concern from his funders, and moved the majority of his research back to the Zero Lab. Turo, fascinated with the idea of Pokémon from other ages, succeeded in developing a [[Time travel|time machine]] that would allow him to reach out to [[Paradox Pokémon]], Pokémon from the distant future, by transporting Poké Balls to different points on the timeline to catch them and bring them into modern time. These included {{p|Miraidon}}, a futuristic descendant of {{p|Cyclizar}}. Additionally, a former associate of Turo had begun expecting his child.

However, Turo began to become obsessed with his research, continuing the influx of Paradox Pokémon into the modern day in his pursuit of a paradise for his family. Shortly after [[Arven]] was born, Turo was left without help, driving him deeper into his work and ironically causing him to begin neglecting the very people he had made plans for. Arven ended up growing up in the lighthouse laboratory on [[Poco Path]] on his own, never seeing or connecting with Turo due to the latter's newfound devotion to the Tera Project. This estrangement was intensified by Turo's search for a more suitable assistant, leading to him creating an {{wp|artificial intelligence}} copy of himself using the Zero Lab's crystals to double productivity as humanity does not possess the knowledge to develop a sophisticated AI in the time period the game takes place in which is why the AI cannot leave Area Zero. Together, they were able to transport a second, more aggressive Miraidon to the present day, in hopes that the two Miraidon could survive and thrive in their new surroundings. At some point, Turo also developed the [[Poké Ball]] Lock System, an ID-based defense mechanism for his lab.

Turo was determined to maintain his dream of present and future Pokémon existing in harmony. Unfortunately, Turo's research was cut short when he attempted to stop a territorial battle between the two Miraidon, defending the passive one and taking a mortal blow from the aggressive one. This also led to the destruction of Research Station No. 4, and Turo eventually passed away, leaving his AI to manage the remnants of his work in his place. However, the AI did not agree with accepting the ecological consequences of Turo's dream, and began impersonating him, reaching out to Turo's associates in hopes of finding a way to end the Tera Project once and for all.

===Path of Legends===
The AI first contacts the {{player}} when they enter the [[Uva Academy]] for the first time, impersonating Turo and asking them to take care of the {{ga|Miraidon}} that was once under his possession. Throughout the game, the AI frequently contacts the player as Miraidon gradually regains the powers it once lost. Once Miraidon is fully powered, the AI asks the player to travel to Turo's laboratory at the Great Crater of Paldea. As the player, [[Nemona]], [[Arven]], and [[Penny]] traverse the area to reach Turo's laboratory, they discover the history of the two Miraidon and Turo's time machine in notebooks left behind in each research station.

===The Way Home===
At the [[Zero Lab]], the AI reveals its nature to the player and the fate that befell its creator. While Turo wished to let Pokémon of the future keep entering the modern day through the time machine, the AI refuses to let the [[Paldea]] region's ecosystem be ruined by these time-displaced Pokémon and asks for the player's help in shutting down the time machine. The AI is, however, programmed to protect the time machine, so the player is forced to battle it and the Paradox Pokémon it wields against the AI's will.

After the AI is defeated, the security system initiates the '''Paradise Protection Protocol''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|楽園防衛|らくえんぼうえい}}プログラム''' ''Paradise Defense Program''), sends out the AI's Miraidon, and activates the Poké Ball Lock System, preventing the player from using any of their Pokémon due to lacking Turo's ID. Thus, the player uses their Miraidon, whose [[Miraidon's Poké Ball|Poké Ball]] has Turo's ID associated, to battle against the AI's Miraidon. Once the Paradise Protection Protocol has been defeated, the AI understands that the time machine cannot be shut down as long as it remains present to reboot the system, so it chooses to travel to the distant future its creator had hoped to see, bidding farewell to the player and their friends as it disappears into the time machine.

===Pokémon===
AI Turo's Pokémon are contained in [[Master Ball]]s.

'''Professor Sada''' (Japanese: '''オーリム''' ''Olim'') is a [[Pokémon Professor]] in [[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet|Pokémon Scarlet]]. Her counterpart in [[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet|Pokémon Violet]] is [[Professor Turo]].

Before the events of Pokémon Scarlet, Professor Sada was part of the team that explored the [[Paldea|Great Crater of Paldea]], setting up the [[Zero Lab]] in [[Area Zero]]. There, Sada discovered and named the [[Terastal phenomenon]]. Sada was able to develop a prototype for the [[Tera Orb]], earning her corporate backing for her projects and allowing her to set up a second laboratory in a lighthouse near Cabo Poco. Furthermore, she was able to harness more of the unstable energy, despite concern from her funders, and moved the majority of her research back to the Zero Lab. Sada, fascinated with the idea of Pokémon from other ages, succeeded in developing a [[Time travel|time machine]] that would allow her to reach out to [[Paradox Pokémon]], Pokémon from the ancient past, by transporting Poké Balls to different points on the timeline to catch them and bring them into modern time. These included {{p|Koraidon}}, an ancient ancestor of {{p|Cyclizar}}. Additionally, she had begun expecting a child.

However, Sada began to become obsessed with her research, continuing the influx of Paradox Pokémon into the modern day in her pursuit of a paradise for her family. Shortly after [[Arven]] was born, Sada was left without help, driving her deeper into her work and ironically causing her to begin neglecting the very people she had made plans for.

At some point, Sada also developed the [[Poké Ball]] Lock System, an ID-based defense mechanism for her lab.

Unfortunately, Sada's research was cut short when she attempted to stop a territorial battle between the two Koraidon, defending the passive one and taking a mortal blow from the aggressive one. This also led to the destruction of Research Station No. 4, and Sada eventually passed away, leaving her AI to manage the remnants of her work in her place.

:''"My name is Professor Sada. I carry out Pokémon research within the Great Crater of Paldea—at a site known as [[Area Zero]]."''
:''"Well. Allow me to get straight to the point. <player>, student ID number 805C393... You are the student who travels with the unusual Pokémon Koraidon, is that correct?"''
::'''Yes''': ''"Thank you. I appreciate that you were honest in confirming the facts."''
::'''No''': ''"Why would you attempt to lie? You appear in any number of clips from security camera footage together with Koraidon."''
:''"Ah, not that I— I do not mean to offend you. In fact, I wish to ask for your assistance."''
:''"Oh. How good to see that you are well. It has been quite a while since we last met. Koraidon was once in my care, you see."''
:''"Its Poké Ball was also originally mine. I assume you received it from a young man called Arven. I am no longer in any position to be able to manage that Pokémon myself. This is what I would ask of you: Will you continue looking after Koraidon on my behalf?"''
::'''Yes''': ''"I do appreciate your agreement."''
::'''No''': ''"And yet, it is clear to see from the way Koraidon reacts to you that you must be a kind Trainer. Your bond seems quite undeniable."''
:''"Koraidon has been greatly weakened and is currently incapable of battle. It can, however, take on a form specialized for mobility. In all likelihood, it will require some time to fully regain the capabilities it once had."''
:''"I will provide you with my contact information. If you would please get out your phone?"''
:''"I will be in regular contact going forward to keep tabs on your status. Until then."''

;[[South Province (Area Three)]]
*After defeating Klawf the Stony Cliff Titan
:''"Hello, <player>. This is Sada."''
:''"I detect that Koraidon has regained some of its original power. It seems it will now be able to dash at high speeds while you're riding upon it."''
:''"I hope you will continue to explore Paldea with Koraidon, as you have done here. Your route is not fixed but open before you. Seek out your own path, using your map and the tools you have at hand. Whenever you find your curiosity piqued, you should go and explore as your heart desires. All that you experience will help you grow in some way, great or small."''
:''"Go forth on your journey...and take good care of Koraidon for me."''

;[[East Province (Area Three)]]
*After defeating Orthworm the Lurking Steel Titan
:''"Hello, <player>. This is Sada."''
:''"I detect that Koraidon has regained some of its original power. While you're riding upon it, it seems it can now jump higher if you press and hold the B button."''
:''"I am relying on you to continue taking good care of Koraidon."''

** To serve as the main antagonist, as well as the final main game opponent in a core series game.
* Unlike previous Trainer battles in which the opponent battles the player with more than six Pokémon, the player also uses a seventh Pokémon against AI Sada. This is also the case when battling her counterpart AI Turo.
* AI Sada's eye color changes from blue to brown after she is battled for the first time, and remains brown for the remainder of her appearance in Pokémon Scarlet.

'''Volo''' (Japanese: '''ウォロ''' ''Volo'') is one of the [[Ginkgo Guild]] merchants. He is the {{cat|Trainers with unique classes|only character}} in the {{pkmn|games}} to have the {{DL|Pokémon Trainer|Trainer class}}es '''Ginkgo Guild Member''' (Japanese: '''イチョウしょうかい''' ''Ginkgo Merchant Guild'') and '''Pokémon Wielder''' (Japanese: '''ポケモンつかい''' ''Pokémon User'').

He bears a striking resemblance to [[Cynthia]] and by extension [[Cogita]], but the relationship between them, if any is unknown.

==In the games==
{{spoilers}}
Volo is first met in {{g|Legends: Arceus}} after the {{player}} gets their {{pkmn2|starter}}. Upon leaving the village Volo will offer to battle with his {{p|Togepi}} and reward the player with five [[Potion]]s for their victory. During the player's mission to meet [[Mai]] from [[Fieldlands Camp]], Volo appears to tell the player about Back Strikes and how to use them in Pokémon capturing and battle. Later, when the player is about to leave [[Jubilife Village]] in order to calm Lord {{p|Kleavor}}, Volo arrives to wish the player good luck, prays they used Back Strike right, and gives them [[Super Potion]]s. After calming down the first [[Noble Pokémon]], Volo greets the player upon their return to the village and asks to see the two [[Plate]]s the player obtained from {{p|Wyrdeer}} and {{p|Kleavor}}, respectively.

Volo makes minor appearances throughout the game, delivering items to others as part of the Ginkgo Guild and encouraging the player's efforts to complete the [[Pokédex]].

When [[Kamado]] exiles the player from Jubilife Village, Volo seeks them out and offers his aid. He brings the player to the [[Ancient Retreat]] and introduces them to Cogita, a descendant of the Celestica people who has been teaching Volo the mythology of Hisui. Volo accompanies the player to [[Lake Verity]], [[Lake Valor]] and [[Lake Acuity]] as they follow Cogita's advice to seek out the [[Red Chain]]. He also takes up temporary residence at the Ancient Retreat, offering to sell the player items due to their inability to access [[Choy]]'s shop in the village. Once the Red Chain is assembled, Volo — eager for a chance to see history unfold — follows the player to the [[Temple of Sinnoh]] on their mission to prevent Kamado from attacking {{p|Dialga}}/{{p|Palkia}} in a misguided attempt to close the space-time rift. He again sells items just before the final ascent to the temple.

After Origin Forme {{p|Dialga}}/{{p|Palkia}} is captured, Volo enlists the player for a mission to locate the remaining [[Plate]]s. He splits up with the player to conduct his own research while the player seeks out various [[legendary Pokémon]] and assembles the missing Plates. They later meet up at the Ancient Retreat again, where they discover that Cogita possessed one of the Plates all along, using it as a cutting board while unaware of its true significance. With only the [[Spooky Plate]] remaining, Volo asks the player to meet him at the [[Celestica Ruins]]. There, he muses about the existence of a Pokémon that could equal Dialga and Palkia, yet was banished to [[Distortion World|a world on the opposite side of the real one]], named {{p|Giratina}}. He grows excited and begins to lose his composure at the thought of how close to uncovering the truth about Hisui's mythology he is. Expressing frustration at the state of the world, he explains that he always sought answers when he faced difficulty in his life and asks the player where a creature like Giratina that wants to fight {{ga|Arceus}} might appear, deducing that it would be the Temple of Sinnoh.

At the temple, Volo observes that it is now ruined, turned into a site where [[Spear Pillar|"pillars turned into spears stab into the heavens"]]. Dropping his false persona, Volo confesses that in order to meet Arceus, he contacted Giratina and had it tear open the space-time rift, which directly caused the Noble Pokémon to rampage and led to the player's arrival in Hisui. He discards his Ginkgo Guild uniform and reveals that he possessed the Spooky Plate all along, demanding that the player hand over the rest so that he may meet and subjugate Arceus, then use its power to destroy and recreate the world. Although he offers the player a chance to stop him by defeating him in battle, he adds that he will not hesitate to use force to collect the Plates for himself. After a long, difficult battle, Volo angrily lashes out at the player, furious that they seemingly arrived from the space-time rift solely to get in his way. However, he excitedly notes the creeping presence of an eldritch being arriving at the ruined temple. Giratina emerges from a portal, and Volo takes control of it, commanding it to strike the player down. A battle against Giratina ensues, but just as it is seemingly defeated, it unleashes its true strength and transforms into its {{form|Giratina|Origin Forme}}.

When Giratina finally falls in battle, it reverts into its {{form|Giratina|Altered Forme}} and flees, causing Volo to fully lose his composure. Denouncing Giratina for fleeing from a human, he cries out in vain to Arceus, desperate to know what qualities it sees him as lacking and wondering if his defeat means the world does not need to be remade. Volo surrenders the Spooky Plate to the player, telling them that his story ended when he was defeated by them. However, when the player's [[Celestica Flute]] transforms into the [[Azure Flute]], Volo realizes Arceus has chosen the player over him and lashes out again, refusing to stay and watch as they realize his dream of meeting Arceus. Before departing, Volo swears that he will discover all of Hisui's mythological secrets and conquer Arceus, no matter how many years, decades or centuries it takes him.

He is not seen again for the rest of the game. However, [[Professor Laventon]] later reveals that Volo visited him to encourage him to finish work on the Pokédex as well as telling him that Giratina had a change of heart after losing to to the player and tells him that it would likely be the last time they would ever meet.

=====Third battle=====
Volo summons {{p|Giratina}} in its {{form|Giratina|Altered Forme}} immediately after his main team is defeated. [[Experience]] is awarded for battling his main team before Volo summons Giratina, but the player is not given a chance to heal. If the player is defeated by Giratina, they must also battle Volo's initial team again. During this battle, {{p|Giratina}} is filled with '''terrible might''' (Japanese: '''すさまじい力''' ''Tremendous Strength'') — All Giratina's stats are boosted, and it will take reduced indirect damage, such as from poisoning and splinters. Upon being defeated for the first time, Giratina changes into its Origin Forme and heals itself completely, effectively making the second part of the battle against two Pokémon, and the entire battle against eight.

==Quotes==
{{Main|Volo/Quotes}}

==In the anime==
===Pokémon: Hisuian Snow===
Volo makes a cameo appearance in ''[[HIS02|Fiery Reflections in Snow]]''. He is talking to another Ginkgo Guild member at [[Jubilife Village|Prelude Beach]]'s docks.

==In the TCG==
[[File:VoloLostOrigin196.jpg|200px|thumb|Full Art print of Volo]]
{{main|Volo (Lost Origin 169)}}
'''Volo''' was introduced as a {{TCG|Supporter card}} in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] during the English Sword & Shield Series (the Japanese Sword & Shield Era). It was first released in the Japanese {{TCG|Dark Phantasma}} subset and the English {{TCG|Lost Origin}} expansion, with artwork by [[kirisAki]]. It was also released as a {{TCG|Full Art card}} and {{TCG|Secret card}} in the same Japanese and English expansions, with artwork by the same artist. It allows the player to discard one of their Benched {{TCG|Pokémon V}} and all attached cards.

==Trivia==
* Volo shares many similarities with [[Cynthia]]:
** {{DL|Task|Missions|Mission}} 20, where the player must meet up with Volo, is called The Researcher of Myths, a title by which Cynthia also refers to herself.
** In his final battle, Volo wears a necklace with a teardrop-shaped ornament that resembles the ornament on Cynthia's coat.
** In the final battle against him, Volo shares five Pokémon with Cynthia's {{game|Platinum}} team: {{p|Spiritomb}}, {{p|Garchomp}}, {{p|Togekiss}}, {{p|Roserade}}, and {{p|Lucario}}.
*** The only Pokémon that Volo does not use from said team is {{p|Milotic}}, as it is not present in Legends: Arceus. He instead uses {{rf|Hisuian}} {{p|Arcanine}}. Interestingly, Gastrodon, which is in Cynthia's {{2v2|Diamond|Pearl}} team, is available in Pokémon Legends: Arceus.
*** Similarly, Volo will always begin the battle by sending out Spiritomb.
** The music that plays before Volo's final battle begins is an arrangement of Cynthia's battle theme. His final battle theme is an arrangement of Cynthia's encounter theme.
** After his final battle, Volo vows to meet {{p|Arceus}}, and in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, Cynthia meets Arceus during the [[Sinjoh Ruins]] event.
* Volo is 6'3" (190 cm) tall.<ref>Concept art from {{g|Legends: Arceus}}.</ref>
* If Giratina's two forms, battled one after the other, are counted as two Pokémon, Volo effectively uses eight Pokémon to battle the player.
* Volo is the first main story antagonist to be fought in the post-game.
** He is also the first main antagonist of a main series game to not be affiliated with a [[villainous team]] or equivalent organization like the [[Aether Foundation]] or [[Macro Cosmos]], as the Ginkgo Guild does not have any role in his scheme and his only allies are Giratina and his own Pokémon.
* Volo's claim that he's willing to even take centuries to locate and conquer Arceus, and his goal to subjugate Arceus in order to create a peaceful new world, is similar to [[Team Galactic]] and their ambitions. In Platinum, [[Cyrus]]'s plans to accomplish this goal using {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Palkia}} are disrupted by the intervention of Giratina, Volo's ally in the past.
* Volo's appearance once he removes his Ginkgo Guild uniform makes a number of references to Arceus.
** His hair is styled after Arceus' head.
** He wears golden accessories reminiscent of Arceus' own markings.
** He dons clothing called a chiton similar to that worn by ancient Greeks. {{wp|Zeus}}, the central God of the Greek pantheon, is believed to be one of the inspirations for Arceus.
*** In addition, the [[Pokémon movie|movie]] ''[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]'', which stars {{OBP|Arceus|M12}}, has a Greek-inspired setting.
** Volo's haircut and outfit, in various colors, can be purchased by the [[player character]] after obtaining {{p|Arceus}}: the Sinnoh Outfit, Sinnoh Sandals, and Sinnoh-style haircut.

'''Ghetsis Harmonia Gropius''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|ゲーチス・ハルモニア・グロピウス|Gēchisu Harumonia Guropiusu}}''' ''G-Cis Harmonia Gropius'') is one of the [[Seven Sages]] and the true mastermind behind [[Team Plasma]].

==In the core series==
{{spoilers}}
Ghetsis first appears in {{game|Black and White|s}}, holding a speech in [[Accumula Town]], where he is trying to rally its citizens. After that, he appears at several points in the game, trying to warn the citizens of the oncoming change, and he is often the one that comes to rescue other [[Seven Sages]] if they are nearing arrest. After the player and [[Alder]] come to the Relic Castle he is already there and tells them that if they are to battle N, they must retrieve the [[Light Stone]]{{sup/5|Bl}}/[[Dark Stone]]{{sup/5|W}}. He also appears making a similar speech to his one in Accumula Town in [[Opelucid City]]. He later appears at the castle during [[N]]'s takeover and taunts the player before battling N. After the player defeats N, he reveals he has been using N and revived {{p|Zekrom}}{{sup/5|Bl}}/{{p|Reshiram}}{{sup/5|W}} for N to use, and calls N a disappointment. He reveals that his and Team Plasma's motive for stealing Pokémon was a lie all along and that Ghetsis wanted to ensure that he was the only person in Unova with Pokémon, so he could dominate the region (this was previously foreshadowed by him referring to himself during speeches referring to Team Plasma's goals before correcting himself and saying Team Plasma). According to a Grunt in the castle, he was even learning of ways to manipulate hearts of people. Alder and [[Cheren]] both hear the truth from Ghetsis. Ghetsis battles the player in a rage, despite N's protest. After the battle, Alder and Cheren arrest Ghetsis and take him away. He is not seen again in this game.

During the post-game, Cheren reveals that the [[Shadow Triad]] had helped Ghetsis to escape. When the player meets the Shadow Triad for the final time on [[Marvelous Bridge]], they reveal that Ghetsis is currently on the run. He has lost everything, including his Pokémon, and only the Shadow Triad are still loyal to him. For some reason, he has ordered the Shadow Triad to stop looking for him and deliver the player the [[Adamant Orb|Adamant]], [[Lustrous Orb|Lustrous]], and [[Griseous Orb]]s.

In {{game|Black and White|s|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2|2}}, Ghetsis is revealed to be the true mastermind behind the new Team Plasma, which had seemingly been led by [[Zinzolin]], [[Colress]], and the Shadow Triad. After Colress is defeated, Ghetsis confronts the player and angrily denounces Colress as being more interested in science than in Team Plasma's ambitions, even after being appointed as the organization's official leader. He leaves the player to fight the Shadow Triad while he enters the [[Giant Chasm]] with {{p|Kyurem}}. By the time the player catches up with him, Ghetsis has prepared his plan to freeze all of [[Unova]]. He summons Kyurem to his side and orders it to use {{m|Glaciate}} on the player, only for N to arrive with Zekrom{{sup/5|B2}}/Reshiram{{sup/5|W2}} and interfere. This however was part of Ghetsis's plan, and while berating N for causing what will happen to Unova as a result of N's refusal to be his pawn in the previous games, Ghetsis uses the [[DNA Splicers]] to forcibly revert Zekrom{{sup/5|B2}}/Reshiram{{sup/5|W2}} into its [[Dragon Stones|stone form]]. Kyurem then fuses with the stone, creating Black Kyurem{{sup/5|B2}}/White Kyurem{{sup/5|W2}}. Ghetsis challenges the player to fight Black Kyurem{{sup/5|B2}}/White Kyurem{{sup/5|W2}}, preventing it from being captured via a signal from his cane that disrupts the function of [[Poké Ball]]s. Upon the defeat of Kyurem, its Absofusion is reversed, separating it back into Kyurem and Zekrom{{sup/5|B2}}/Reshiram{{sup/5|W2}}. Ghetsis flies into a rage and attacks the player, starting a final battle. When he is defeated, he suffers a mental breakdown and violently rejects the compassion N shows him. The Shadow Triad take him away from the Giant Chasm and later inform the player that Ghetsis has lost his heart and is no longer mentally capable of any further criminal deeds, finally ending his threat to Unova.

An [[Pokémon multiverse|alternate universe]] version of Ghetsis, as he appears in Pokémon Black and White, appears as a member of [[Team Rainbow Rocket]] in {{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}}. This Ghetsis, like the other members of Team Rainbow Rocket, was brought from a world where his plans succeeded (successfully separating Pokémon from humans). After arriving in the game's world, Ghetsis began pondering the reasons for his being summoned. He then concluded that his purpose was to travel between worlds and liberate all Pokémon from people, consolidating power in himself so that he may rule over all of existence. For this purpose, he intends to use [[Giovanni]] as a pawn, reasoning that a human with an evil nature will be easier to manipulate than [[N|a freak without a human heart]]. Refusing to allow the player to reach Giovanni and interfere with his plans, Ghetsis challenges the player, using Zekrom{{sup/7|US}}/Reshiram{{sup/7|UM}} as part of his team. After being beaten, he refuses to accept his loss and strikes [[Lillie]], taking her as a hostage. Ghetsis demands that the player throw down their Poké Balls if they wish to ensure Lillie's safety. No matter the player's choice, [[Colress]] appears in the room, rescues Lillie, and recognizes Ghetsis as not being the Ghetsis he knows. Ghetsis recognizes him as the Colress of the game's world, but fails to understand why he is opposing his plans, prompting Colress to declare that he simply hates Ghetsis altogether. Colress then utilizes a newly developed device to warp Ghetsis back to his original world.

==In the anime==
===Main series===
[[File:Ghetsis anime.png|thumb|left|220px|Ghetsis in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]
Ghetsis is the head and founder of Team Plasma, often referred to as "Lord Ghetsis" by his underlings. He serves as the main antagonist of the ''Best Wishes! Season 2: Episode N'' arc.

Prior to the events of the anime, Ghetsis, the [[Seven Sages]] and the rest of Team Plasma resided in [[N's Castle|a mansion]] where {{an|N}}, [[Anthea and Concordia]] were raised in isolation from humanity, only allowing them contact with each other and Pokémon that had been abused by humans. Ghetsis, presenting himself as a fatherly figure to N, informed the boy that he would grow up to become Team Plasma's greatest leader in their crusade against Pokémon oppression. These plans ultimately came to a head two years before the events of ''[[Pokémon the Series: Black & White]]'', when Ghetsis summoned N to stand before the Seven Sages in a ceremony on the mansion's balcony. However, sensing Ghetsis's corrupt intent, {{an|Reshiram}} interrupted the ceremony and destroyed the mansion before flying away. In the confusion, N escaped with Anthea and Concordia, all three realizing Ghetsis's deception as a result of these events.

Ghetsis first appeared in ''[[BW112|Team Plasma's Pokémon Power Plot!]]'', where he contacted [[Colress]] via hologram transmitter for an update on the Pokémon control experiments being conducted at the [[Floccesy Town]] observatory. During their conversation, {{Ash}}, {{ashfr}} and [[Looker]] approached the observatory, and Ghetsis gave Colress permission to test the Pokémon being used in the experiment on them.

Ghetsis made his physical debut in ''[[BW117|Team Plasma's Pokémon Manipulation!]]'', receiving another update on the Pokémon control experiment from Colress. Later, from his command center, Ghetsis spoke to several {{tc|Team Plasma Grunt}}s, who had separated into groups to spy on [[Cedric Juniper]]'s excavation of the {{an|White Ruins}}, search for N and the mysterious "[[Genesect Army|Project G]]" and develop "Project F" in eastern [[Unova]]. He again conferenced with Colress and [[Aldith]] in [[BW118|the next episode]], and appeared in flashbacks to the past that N revealed to Ash and his friends.
[[File:BW121 Ceremony.png|thumb|250px|Conducting the Ceremony of Revival]]
In ''[[BW119|Meowth, Colress and Team Rivalry!]]'', Ghetsis met with Colress, Aldith, and [[Barret]] via hologram, revealing his plans for the [[Light Stone]] and telling Colress that his control device would soon need to control its most powerful target yet.

Ghetsis briefly appeared via communicator with Colress in ''[[BW120|Ash and N: A Clash of Ideals!]]'' before arriving at the White Ruins in ''[[BW121|Team Plasma and the Awakening Ceremony!]]''. With his followers having subdued Team Plasma's enemies, Ghetsis took the Light Stone and placed it on a pedestal in the ruins, then used his staff to initiate the ritual leading to Reshiram's awakening. In ''[[BW122|What Lies Beyond Truth and Ideals!]]'', Ghetsis successfully summoned Reshiram and, with the help of Colress's machine, took control of it. He turned its power against his enemies and sent it on a rampage, but when {{AP|Pikachu}} managed to resist the control device and shock Reshiram, it escaped Ghetsis's control. He angrily reproached Reshiram for its rebellion, only to have his escape route cut off when Reshiram destroyed Team Plasma's aircraft. Ghetsis and his henchmen were ultimately arrested by Looker, and he was last seen in the back of a police van with Colress, Aldith and Barret, slumped over in defeat.

====Character====
While Ghetsis frequently projects a calm demeanor, it is an act designed to mask his true nature as a mad, power-hungry tyrant. His persona is seen to easily slip when his goals are delayed or he feels frustrated, such as by Colress's more casual attitude towards Team Plasma's objectives, causing him to become much more serious and demanding. He cares little for even his most faithful followers, allowing them to be caught up in Reshiram's rampage once he gained control of it via Colress's device. When he faces opposition he easily flies into an enraged state that causes him to take reckless action, even screaming angrily at Reshiram after losing control over it despite having no way to subdue it. After facing defeat, however, he finally gave up and was left silent by his failure as the police took him away.

|desc={{main|Reshiram (anime)}}

Ghetsis first summoned {{p|Reshiram}} in a ceremony two years prior to the events in the anime. However, his plan to control it failed, as his goals led Reshiram to become enraged and destroy Team Plasma's mansion before flying away. These events were recounted by N in a flashback in ''[[BW118|Secrets From Out of the Fog!]]''.

In ''[[BW121|Team Plasma and the Awakening Ceremony!]]'', N surrendered the Light Stone to Team Plasma in exchange for Colress releasing Ash's Pikachu from his control. Ghetsis then arrived at the White Ruins and initiated the ceremony, resulting in Reshiram's resurrection in ''[[BW122|What Lies Beyond Truth and Ideals!]]''. This time, Ghetsis had Colress use his Pokémon Control Device on Reshiram, placing it under Team Plasma's control. Ghetsis ordered it to go on a rampage, turning its power on both his enemies and his own followers, but when Pikachu fought Colress's control and shocked it, Reshiram began to regain its free will.

Reshiram helped Pikachu destroy the machine, freeing all the controlled Pokémon, but then went on an even more violent rampage, stopping only when N managed to talk it down. Ghetsis still refused to admit defeat, however, admonishing Reshiram for disobeying him. After Ghetsis was captured along with the other members of Team Plasma, N came to understand Reshiram's motivations, and it departed peacefully.}}

Ghetsis appeared in ''[[PE04|The Plan]]'', narrating his plan to control the [[Unova]] region through the manipulation of people and Pokémon. Through flashbacks, he was seen taking [[N]] as a child, crowning him as [[Team Plasma]]'s king, and telling [[Accumula Town]] about the liberation of Pokémon. Eventually, with N having controlled {{p|Zekrom}}, Ghetsis met with {{ga|Hilda}} and dared her to battle N.

====History====
====={{chap|Black & White}}=====
Ghetsis debuted in ''[[PS466|An Odd Speech]]''. At [[Accumula Town]], Ghetsis introduced [[Team Plasma]] and their campaign to the general public. He gave a speech encouraging the townspeople to liberate their Pokémon and return them to the wild. While some chose to ignore his words, several people were swayed by Ghetsis's words and proceeded to release their Pokémon.

In ''[[PS495|The Battle Within]]'', the [[Seven Sages]] watched as the [[Shadow Triad]] and Unova [[Gym Leader]]s battled for possession of the [[Dark Stone]]. Ghetsis left, revealing he was going to [[Nacrene City]] to join the battle. In ''[[PS497|Finding Truth]]'', Black was tricked by a {{tc|Team Plasma Grunt}} in disguise into revealing where the Dark Stone was kept. Once the stone was located, Ghetsis attacked Black with his {{p|Eelektross}}, knocking him unconscious. Ghetsis took the Dark Stone to N at the [[Dragonspiral Tower]], where he proceeded to awaken the [[Legendary Pokémon]] {{DL|Tao trio (Adventures)|Zekrom}}.

In ''[[PS520|Cold Hard Truth]]'', Team Plasma launched their attack on the {{un|Pokémon League}}, surrounding the building with [[N's Castle]]. As a form of mockery and display of Team Plasma's power, the [[Gym Leader]]s were hoisted on cross-like fixtures and displayed in front of the masses. While Black went ahead to face N, a group of regular Trainers led by {{tc|Hiker}} Andy fought the sages in his place, eventually succeeding in freeing the Gym Leaders. Outnumbered, the sages fled, but Ghetsis chose to sneak into the castle, where N and Black were having their final battle.

In ''[[PS523|The Power of Dreams]]'', Ghetsis found N unconscious, having already lost to Black. Ghetsis revealed his connection to N and that he had been manipulating his adoptive son as a pawn in his scheme to make Pokémon illegal for everyone other than Team Plasma. He attacked Black, hoping to silence him and prevent the public from ever learning of N's defeat. Black struggled initially due to Ghetsis's team being tailored to counter his own, but with his {{p|Musharna}}, [[Musha]], Black uncovered and defeated Ghetsis's secret weapon—a {{p|Volcarona}}. Once the rest of Ghetsis' team had fallen, Black had the sage trapped in a prison of {{m|Stone Edge}} pillars, putting an end to Team Plasma's ideals.

In ''[[PS524|A Difficult Parting]]'', Ghetsis watched as N bid his farewells to Black and {{adv|White}} before leaving. Once N left, Black's {{DL|Tao trio (Adventures)|Reshiram}} began reverting into the [[Light Stone]]. Ghetsis used [[Colress]]'s {{p|Beheeyem}} to free himself from the prison and send Black flying towards Reshiram, preventing him from being trapped inside of the Light Stone as well.

====={{chap|Black 2 & White 2}}=====
In ''[[PS528|Innocent Scientist]]'', Colress revealed that Ghetsis is still an active member of Team Plasma, though he had given up his leadership to the scientist.

In ''[[PS538|Therian Forme III]]'', Ghetsis arrived at [[Driftveil City]], where he found Colress in battle with {{adv|Blake}}. Using his [[Colress Machine]], Colress took control of [[Zinzolin]]'s {{DL|Tao trio (Adventures)|Kyurem}} and had it loaded onto Team Plasma's flying ship, the [[Plasma Frigate]]. The frigate was flown to [[Castelia City]], where it used a special Kyurem-powered cannon to freeze several buildings and people solid.

In ''[[PS542|N Returns]]'', Ghetsis and Colress found that N had returned to Unova due to Zekrom being attracted to Kyurem's growing power. Ghetsis took command of Kyurem and set out to battle with his former son. Upon being warned to not let his paternal feelings get the better of him, Ghetsis assured Colress that he never felt any sort of attachment towards N.

In ''[[PS543|Abyssal Ruins]]'', Ghetsis obtained the [[DNA Splicers]], which allowed Kyurem to revert Zekrom back into the Dark Stone, trapping N inside with it. Kyurem absorbed the Dark Stone, transforming it into {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Kyurem|Black Kyurem}}. Reacting to Zekrom's absorption, the Light Stone reverted into Reshiram, freeing Black in the process. Black and White briefly fought Kyurem, but were distracted when N was ejected from the Dark Stone, giving Ghetsis the chance to attack and escape. Not wanting N to interfere with his control over Kyurem, Ghetsis knocked him off of Kyurem's back, sending him into the ocean below. Unbeknownst to Ghetsis, Colress secretly took N aboard the Plasma Frigate, curious about his ability to hear the voices of Pokémon.

In ''[[PS545|Deduction Time]]'', Ghetsis and Colress followed Kyurem, who had started moving towards the [[Giant Chasm]] of its own free will. Noticing the {{adv|Swords of Justice}} were giving chase, Ghetsis ordered the Shadow Triad to attack them.

In ''[[PS547|The Final Battle: Crushed Ambition]]'', Ghetsis was confronted by {{adv|Whitley}}, N, [[Alder]], and {{adv|Looker}} deep within the Plasma Frigate. N stated he intended to take all the Pokémon stolen by Team Plasma and return them to where they properly belonged. Ghetsis denied this, declaring that he'd rather die along with his dream than live as a prisoner. He activated a self-destruct mechanism, causing an explosion that tore the Plasma Frigate apart from the inside, sending everyone flying. Ghetsis was saved by N, who stated that despite everything, he still loved Ghetsis as a father. Disgusted, Ghetsis rejected N's love, calling him a monster while beating his former son unconscious and bleeding. As he plummeted towards the ground, Ghetsis laughed at his villainy, only to be surprised when he was caught by Zekrom, who delivers him into Looker's custody.

Later, as he was being arrested by the [[International Police]], Ghetsis swore to one day return and restart his ambition to manipulate and lead the people. Whitley assured Ghetsis that his schemes would never succeed, stating that even if he were to somehow fool humans into following him, the Pokémon hurt by Team Plasma wouldn't be tricked and would never forgive him. Noticing the liberated Pokémon had begun to glare at him with anger in their eyes, Ghetsis fearfully broke down and walked into the police helicopter for his own safety.

==Trivia==
[[File:Ghetsis right arm.png|thumb|Ghetsis's right arm in the {{game|Black and White|s}} [[game intro]]]]
* During a fan meeting event held in the Yokohama Pokémon Center on August 5, 2012, [[Junichi Masuda]] revealed that Ghetsis's full name was initially '''G-Cis Harmonia Gropius''' (ゲーツィス・ハルモニア・グロピウス). Note the different Katakana spelling for his first name.
* The top of Ghetsis's robes in his {{2v2|Black|White}} appearance resemble the {{wp|battlement}}s of a castle.
* Ghetsis has several unique attributes:
** He is the only [[villainous team]] leader in the [[core series]] games that uses a [[pseudo-legendary Pokémon]].
** He is the only villainous team leader in the core series to wield a full team of six Pokémon against the player.
** He is the only antagonist in the core series games to try to incapacitate the player. In Pokémon Black 2 and White 2, he attempts to have Kyurem {{status|freeze}} the player with {{m|Glaciate}}, but that move cannot cause freezing when used in battle. Before the English releases of Pokémon Black 2 and White 2, this threat was mistranslated by various sources as a threat to kill and impale the player using Kyurem's icicles.
** He is the only villainous team leader in the anime to be arrested successfully at the conclusion of his plot.
** He is the only one out of all the core series villainous team leaders who is never battled more than once per game.
** He is the only villainous team leader to serve as the final main game opponent in a core series game.
*** He was also the first final main game opponent to not be a Champion in the core series games.
* Ghetsis is one of five Trainers to battle the player with more than six Pokémon. The others are [[Greevil]] in [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]], [[Volo]] in [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]], [[Professor Sada|AI Sada]] in [[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet|Pokémon Scarlet]], and [[Professor Turo|AI Turo]] in [[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet|Pokémon Violet]].
* Ghetsis is 2.00 m (6'6") tall.
* In Black 2 and White 2, all of Ghetsis's Pokémon he also had in Black and White are two levels lower in Normal Mode and six levels lower in Easy Mode. However, they are two levels higher in Challenge Mode.
* Ghetsis's right arm is almost always concealed. In the games, it is only seen in Pokémon Black and White's [[game intro]], where it is shaded darker than his left arm, while in the {{pkmn|anime}}, it is not seen at all. In [[Pokémon Generations]], both of his arms appear to be fully functional, albeit he still primarily uses the left one. In [[Pokémon Evolutions]], which features animated adaptations of many scenes from Black and White, he is depicted with both arms intact, but is seen wearing a dark glove over his right hand and arm.
** In Black 2 and White 2, Ghetsis mentions that he is going to take the player down with his "own hand" in singular, instead of "hand'''s'''" in plural.
** If {{mas|Ghetsis}}'s model in [[Pokémon Masters EX]] is viewed with his cape removed, it can be seen that his right arm is intact and is usually held behind his back. The model cannot be viewed in this fashion in normal gameplay, but his right arm can be glimpsed in some animations.<ref>https://twitter.com/PokeMasModels/status/1404594315364651013</ref> The [[Pokémon Center (store)|Pokémon Center]] Boss Pikachu plush of Ghetsis also has its right arm in a similar position.
** In addition to this, his right eye remains hidden by an eyepiece. In the games, he also appears to have trouble moving the right side of his mouth, as shown by his in-game sprites and models.
** Early concept art for Ghetsis depicts him without his eyepiece and shows that his right eye has a scar around it.
* Ghetsis's anime incarnation appears to combine traits of his two video game incarnations. His personality is similar to his characterization in Black and White, but his outfit and open motives are taken from Black 2 and White 2.
* Ghetsis bears some resemblance to Giovanni in his goals of world domination, a focus on Pokémon theft, uncaring and selfish parenthood, and the degradation of his sanity after being twice defeated by a child. However, Giovanni is shown to have mentally recovered in Black 2 and White 2, whereas it is left unclear if Ghetsis will ever recover.
* In Black and White, Ghetsis's Hydreigon has a super effective move against all of N's Pokémon in his final team.
* Ghetsis's Hydreigon is the only NPC Pokémon to have minimum [[friendship]], and is, therefore, the only one to use {{m|Frustration}} with maximum power.
* Until the release of the music video [[GOTCHA!]] in September 2020, all of Ghetsis's appearances in animation depicted his {{game|Black and White|s|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2|2}} design. His original design was seen as a shadow in the music video, and later made its first full appearance in [[Pokémon Evolutions]].
* Ghetsis's cloak in Black and White and the fact he always has one eye covered may be inspired by {{wp|Balor}}, a figure in Irish folklore. Some tales state that Balor has anywhere from one to three eyes, one of which is described as "poisonous." Balor's grandson {{wp|Lugh}} is said to always put out this evil eye, which may be reflected in the eye Ghetsis keeps covered by his monocle.

'''Greevil''' (Japanese: '''デスゴルド''' ''Deathgold'') is the leader of the criminal group [[Cipher]]. He is the only character in the game to have the {{DL|Pokémon Trainer|Trainer class}} '''Grand Master''' (Japanese: '''シャドー{{tt|総帥|そうすい}}''' ''{{tt|Shadow|Cipher}} Leader'').

==In the games==
Although it seemed that [[Cipher]] was destroyed with the defeat of [[Evice]], that was not the case. [[Chief Sherles]] comes across some evidence that Evice was only in charge of Cipher's activities in [[Orre]], and that the true leader was still at large. Indeed, five years after Evice's arrest, Cipher returns under the leadership of its Grand Master, Greevil.

Under the guise of a man named [[Mr. Verich]], Greevil wins the favor of the {{tc|Sailor}}s of [[Gateon Port]] by providing free food and drinks every time he visited {{DL|Gateon Port|The Krabby Club}}. On one of his visits, he comes across a Thug by the name of [[Zook]] who is pushing around the [[Michael|player]] and his sister [[Jovi]]. After having one of his bodyguards, [[Ardos]], defeat him in battle, Verich chastises Zook for his actions and leaves.

After the player shuts down the Cipher Key Lair and defeats [[Gorigan]], Greevil appears on a TV monitor and reveals himself as the leader of Cipher. He taunts the player by claiming that he would never reach his HQ on [[Citadark Isle]].

At the very end of the game, the player infiltrates Citadark Island and defeats all the Cipher members inside, including Greevil's bodyguards; Ardos and [[Eldes]]. The player then challenges Greevil himself. Greevil begins by summoning the much-mentioned [[Shadow Lugia|XD001]], a {{p|Lugia}} turned into the ultimate, unpurifiable [[Shadow Pokémon]] by Cipher. However, the player is able to snag it. Enraged, Greevil then fights the player himself with a complete team of six Shadow Pokémon.

After the player defeats or snags all his Pokémon, Greevil is mentally broken, unable to comprehend his defeat. Ardos tries to encourage Greevil to blow up Citadark Isle, but Eldes protests and claims that Greevil is going too far, also revealing himself and Ardos to actually be Greevil's sons. Eventually, Greevil listens to Eldes's reasoning and agrees to accept defeat graciously, much to Ardos's anger. It is implied that Greevil turns himself in afterwards, although the battle against him can be repeated at any time.

==Trivia==
* Greevil is one of five Trainers to battle the player with more than six Pokémon. The others are [[Ghetsis]] in [[Pokémon Black 2 and White 2]], [[Volo]] in [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]], [[Professor Sada|AI Sada]] in [[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet|Pokémon Scarlet]], and [[Professor Turo|AI Turo]] in [[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet|Pokémon Violet]].
* Greevil's name is a combination of ''greedy'' and ''evil''.
* [[Grand Master]]s also exist in the {{OBP|Pokémon Trading Card Game|game}} game for the [[Game Boy]], though they have a different Japanese title, グランドマスター ''Grand Master''.
* Four of the {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} used by Greevil in his rematch with [[Michael]] are used by the {{tc|Cipher Admin}}s on [[Citadark Isle]].
* Greevil uses the [[Legendary birds]], of which Lugia is the trio master. Interestingly, the [[Legendary beasts]] and its counterpart {{p|Ho-Oh}} are also obtainable in {{g|Colosseum}}.
* If the player fights Greevil after purifying every Shadow Pokémon in the game, an alternate ending will play where [[Michael]] puts away the Snag Machine as he no longer needs it.
* In Pokémon Colosseum, a resident of [[The Under]] speaks of a man who made a fortune in the city's mines that he hopes used his money for good. This originally appeared to be referring to [[Evice]], but may have been referring all along to Greevil instead. As a result, it is unclear if Greevil always was intended to be the supreme leader of Cipher or if his rank over Evice was a {{wp|retcon}} introduced in XD.
* Despite being the ultimate leader of Cipher, Greevil's team is significantly lower-leveled than Evice's.

'''Greevil''' (Japanese: '''デスゴルド''' ''Deathgold'') is the leader of the criminal group [[Cipher]]. He is the only character in the game to have the {{DL|Pokémon Trainer|Trainer class}} '''Grand Master''' (Japanese: '''シャドー{{tt|総帥|そうすい}}''' ''{{tt|Shadow|Cipher}} Leader'').

==In the games==
Although it seemed that [[Cipher]] was destroyed with the defeat of [[Evice]], that was not the case. [[Chief Sherles]] comes across some evidence that Evice was only in charge of Cipher's activities in [[Orre]], and that the true leader was still at large. Indeed, five years after Evice's arrest, Cipher returns under the leadership of its Grand Master, Greevil.

Under the guise of a man named [[Mr. Verich]], Greevil wins the favor of the {{tc|Sailor}}s of [[Gateon Port]] by providing free food and drinks every time he visited {{DL|Gateon Port|The Krabby Club}}. On one of his visits, he comes across a Thug by the name of [[Zook]] who is pushing around the [[Michael|player]] and his sister [[Jovi]]. After having one of his bodyguards, [[Ardos]], defeat him in battle, Verich chastises Zook for his actions and leaves.

After the player shuts down the Cipher Key Lair and defeats [[Gorigan]], Greevil appears on a TV monitor and reveals himself as the leader of Cipher. He taunts the player by claiming that he would never reach his HQ on [[Citadark Isle]].

At the very end of the game, the player infiltrates Citadark Island and defeats all the Cipher members inside, including Greevil's bodyguards; Ardos and [[Eldes]]. The player then challenges Greevil himself. Greevil begins by summoning the much-mentioned [[Shadow Lugia|XD001]], a {{p|Lugia}} turned into the ultimate, unpurifiable [[Shadow Pokémon]] by Cipher. However, the player is able to snag it. Enraged, Greevil then fights the player himself with a complete team of six Shadow Pokémon.

After the player defeats or snags all his Pokémon, Greevil is mentally broken, unable to comprehend his defeat. Ardos tries to encourage Greevil to blow up Citadark Isle, but Eldes protests and claims that Greevil is going too far, also revealing himself and Ardos to actually be Greevil's sons. Eventually, Greevil listens to Eldes's reasoning and agrees to accept defeat graciously, much to Ardos's anger. It is implied that Greevil turns himself in afterwards, although the battle against him can be repeated at any time.

[[File:2016 Mythical Pokémon Distributions artwork.png|thumb|350px|Artwork depicting a variety of Mythical Pokémon]]
'''Mythical Pokémon''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|幻|まぼろし}}のポケモン''' ''Illusory Pokémon'') are a group of {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} seen so rarely in the [[Pokémon world]] that some question their very existence.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20141019114239/http://www.pokemon.co.jp/ex/pokescrap2014/pokemon もらえるプレゼントを詳しく紹介｜ポケモンスクラップ　オメガルビー・アルファサファイア　幻のポケモンたちをもらおう！　キャンペーン] (Japanese, archive)</ref>

In Japanese media, Mythical Pokémon and [[Legendary Pokémon]] have always been presented as distinct groups. In non-Japanese media prior to [[Generation V]], Mythical Pokémon and Legendary Pokémon were both considered to be Legendary Pokémon (and the term Mythical Pokémon was unused, with some fans calling Mythical Pokémon "Event Legendaries", reflecting how they usually must be obtained at an event, but they are not a subset of them<ref>[https://swordshield.pokemon.com/en-us/expansionpass/features/#legendary-pokemon | New features added in The Isle of Armor and The Crown Tundra | Pokémon Sword and Shield Offical Website]</ref>); since Generation V, the two groups are presented as distinct groups in all official media. In [[Pokémon Ranger: Guardian Signs]], Mythical Pokémon are referred to as '''rare Pokémon'''.

==Overview==
===In the core series===
Mythical Pokémon are regarded as among the rarest in [[Pokémon world]] mythology. Some are seemingly unknown to most people, while others are thought of as stuff of legends. They typically receive minimal exposure during normal gameplay, usually alluded to in vague hints. They are then revealed to players months or years after the debut of their respective [[generation]]. Upon being revealed, they are celebrated across the numerous media, often starring in {{pkmn|movie}}s and being featured prominently in {{pkmn|merchandise}}.

When they are first revealed, Mythical Pokémon cannot be obtained in the [[core series]] games in the course of normal gameplay. They can typically only be obtained by [[Mystery Gift]] (either directly, or using an [[event item]]). They are distributed to players via [[Mystery Gift]] on special occasions such as screenings of Pokémon movies, events in retail stores, online distributions, the [[Pokémon 20th Anniversary]], etc., or may be received via [[Spin-off Pokémon games|spin-off games]] that feature special connectivity. Mythical Pokémon are usually unobtainable in regular gameplay, with the vast majority of them only being obtainable via these events.

The [[gender]] of every Mythical Pokémon is unknown. Almost all Mythical Pokémon cannot [[Evolution|evolve]], with the exception of {{p|Meltan}}, and most cannot {{pkmn|breeding|breed}}, although {{p|Manaphy}} and {{p|Phione}} can be bred with {{p|Ditto}} to produce Phione {{pkmn|Egg}}s.

Much like how [[starter Pokémon]] appear at the beginning of each [[regional Pokédex]] and their generation's portion of the [[National Pokédex]], Mythical Pokémon typically appear at the very end, and Legendary Pokémon immediately before them. The Mythical Pokémon {{p|Victini}} is the only exception, which appears at the start of the [[Unova Pokédex]] as #000, coming before the region's starter Pokémon.

No Mythical Pokémon is required to complete the [[Pokédex]] for rewards such as the [[diploma]], except in {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, which require the player to obtain {{p|Deoxys}} for the [[National Pokédex]] diploma due to it being available as part of the [[Delta Episode]].

====History====
Despite the first Mythical Pokémon, Mew, being added to the original games right before release, the concept of "illusory monsters" (Mythical Monsters) already existed in [[Satoshi Tajiri]]'s pitch for [[Capsule Monsters]]. They were said to be hard to encounter, hard to catch or be impossible to catch if the player missed their chance. For example, there would be a "Green Dragon" that could only be found rarely in a specific area of a dungeon, and it would have taken around two hours to find and catch.<ref name="ref1">[http://www.glitterberri.com/pokemon-red-blue/early-concept-art/2/ GlitterBerri's Game Translations » Early Concept Art]</ref>

====Multiple Mythical Pokémon====
Sometimes, the player is able to acquire multiple Mythical Pokémon of the same species by trading or transferring them from multiple games, or by attending multiple real-life distributions. There are other instances of multiple Mythical Pokémon:

* It is possible to acquire multiple {{p|Phione}} [[Pokémon Egg|Eggs]] by {{pkmn|breeding}} {{p|Manaphy}} with {{p|Ditto}}.
* The Pokédex states that at the end of {{p|Melmetal}}'s lifespan, its small shards left behind will eventually be reborn as {{p|Meltan}}. This indicates that multiple Meltan are born, but also there could potentially be multiple Melmetal if they [[evolution|evolve]]. Additionally, multiple Meltan are seen together in promotional videos.
* {{p|Zarude}} lives deep within dense forests in a pack with others of its kind.

===In the anime===
Mythical Pokémon typically make their {{pkmn|anime}} debut in a {{pkmn|movie}}, rather than first appearing in a normal episode. Most are held in very high regard in all forms of canon, though their status varies between the {{pkmn|games}} and anime.

In the anime, they are often only seen by special {{pkmn|Trainer}}s, such as [[Ash Ketchum]] and people who have a special connection to them. Ill-intentioned people often seek to possess them, due to their power and rarity. {{si|Tobias}} is the first {{pkmn|Trainer}} seen to own a Mythical Pokémon in the anime, using the Mythical Pokémon {{p|Darkrai}} and the Legendary Pokémon {{p|Latios}} in the [[Lily of the Valley Conference]]. Another character to own a Mythical Pokémon was {{al|Dia}}, an inhabitant of the [[Ultra Ruin]], who owns the Mythical Pokémon {{p|Zeraora}}. Ash owns a Mythical Pokémon, {{AP|Melmetal}}, which he {{pkmn2|caught}} as a {{P|Meltan}} in ''[[SM112|Got Meltan?]]'' after it befriended his {{AP|Rowlet}}.

==List of Mythical Pokémon==
Of the {{numpkmn}} Pokémon species, 21 are Mythical Pokémon ({{#expr:(21/{{numpkmn}}*100) round2}}%). Including Phione, there are 22 Mythical Pokémon ({{#expr:(22/{{numpkmn}}*100) round2}}%). Each [[generation]] has introduced at least one Mythical Pokémon.

===Generation I===
One Mythical Pokémon was introduced in [[Generation I]].

====Mew====
[[File:Faraway Island Mew.png|thumb|300px|[[May (game)|May]] encountering {{p|Mew}} on [[Faraway Island]]]]
{{p|Mew}} is a {{type|Psychic}} Mythical Pokémon. It is believed to contain the genetic codes of all Pokémon in its DNA. Initially thought to be extinct, a {{ka|Pokémon Mansion|scientific team}} has reported sightings of it in [[Guyana]]. {{p|Mewtwo}} was created after a series of experiments based on Mew, and is thus considered to be part of a [[Legendary duo]] with it.

Mew established the convention of Mythical Pokémon with its release in {{game|Red and Green|s}}. Its base stat total of 600 and the stat distribution of 100 to each stat also created a trend followed by several Mythical Pokémon released later in the series. Pokémon following this trend include {{p|Celebi}}, {{p|Jirachi}}, {{p|Manaphy}}, [[List of Pokémon with form differences#Shaymin|Land Forme]] {{p|Shaymin}}, and {{p|Victini}}.

Designed by [[Shigeki Morimoto]], it was initially unavailable and unknown to players, before being revealed by [[Satoshi Tajiri]] in the spring of 1996 in an issue of [[CoroCoro]]. Initially, a lottery was held to distribute the Pokémon experimentally to a limited number of players, and a [[Mew (Wizards Promo 47)|promotional card]] was included in the January issue of CoroCoro. Supposed [[Easter egg#Truck|methods]] of obtaining Mew, passed on through word-of-mouth, contributed to the success of the Pokémon series. Its success was mirrored in the west with the eventual release of {{game|Red and Blue|s}}, making Mew a prominent character of the first generation, co-starring in the first animated movie, ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]''.

In {{game|Emerald}}, with the [[Old Sea Chart]] [[event item]], the player can travel to [[Faraway Island]], where they can encounter a wild Mew, after they complete a game of hide-and-seek with it. This is the only time Mew has appeared in the wild (excluding [[glitch]]es).

In {{g|Sun and Moon}}, it can use a unique [[Z-Crystal]] known as the [[Mewnium Z]], which allows it to perform the [[Z-Move]] {{m|Genesis Supernova}}. In Sun and Moon, the Mewnium Z was only available through a [[Pokémon Bank]] promotion, but it is available in {{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}} by showing a Mew to a man in the Tide Song Hotel in Heahea City.

===Generation II===
One Mythical Pokémon was introduced in [[Generation II]].

====Celebi====
[[File:Celebi Shrine.png|thumb|left|140px|{{p|Celebi}} sitting on the [[Ilex Forest shrine]]]]
{{p|Celebi}} is a {{2t|Psychic|Grass}}-type Mythical Pokémon. It is referred to as the guardian of forests, protecting and nourishing them as it [[Time travel|travels through time]].

Celebi shares a special connection with the [[Ilex Forest]] in [[Johto]] and the [[Agate Village]]'s {{DL|Agate Village|Relic Forest}} in [[Orre]], having the [[Ilex Forest shrine]] and the [[Relic Stone]] as monuments to honor it in those areas.

Introduced in {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}, Celebi was the second Mythical Pokémon to be released. Created by [[Ken Sugimori]], it was dubbed the "New Mew" soon after being revealed because of its similar size and stats with Mew, as well as the status of being the last in the [[National Pokédex]] as of its generation and being unobtainable through normal gameplay. It first became available in Nintendo Space World 2000 in Japan, with numerous other events coming in the following years worldwide.

In {{game|Crystal}}, if the player has the [[GS Ball]] [[Key Item]], they can encounter a wild Celebi in [[Ilex Forest]]. In the original [[Game Boy Color]] release of Pokémon Crystal, this item was distributed via [[Mobile System GB]] in Japan (it was not available outside of Japan). In the [[Nintendo 3DS]] [[Virtual Console]] release, the player can obtain the GS Ball in normal gameplay in [[Goldenrod City]] after entering the [[Hall of Fame]], making this the second time a Mythical Pokémon can be encountered in normal gameplay (after {{p|Deoxys}} in {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}).

In {{g|Colosseum}}, Celebi appears if the player uses a [[Time Flute]] at the [[Relic Stone]], descending from above and then flying around a [[Shadow Pokémon]] to instantly [[purification|purify]] it. In the Japanese version of the [[Pokémon Colosseum Bonus Disc]], the player can obtain Celebi after purifying all 48 Shadow Pokémon in the game.

It starred in the fourth Pokémon movie, ''[[M04|Celebi: The Voice of the Forest]]''. A Celebi also had a central role in ''[[M13|Zoroark: Master of Illusions]]''. A {{Shiny}} Celebi appeared in ''[[M23|Secrets of the Jungle]]''.
{{-}}

===Generation III===
Two Mythical Pokémon were introduced in [[Generation III]].

====Jirachi====
[[File:Jirachi Encounter.png|thumb|240px|Encountering {{p|Jirachi}}]]
{{p|Jirachi}} is a {{2t|Steel|Psychic}}-type Mythical Pokémon. It is said to able to grant any wishes written on the tags on its head once awake. It only wakes up for seven days once every thousand years. If in danger, it will fight without waking up.

Jirachi was introduced in {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}} and it, like Mew and Celebi, is a {{type|Psychic}} Mythical Pokémon with 100 for each [[base stat]]. It was revealed in 2003 in the context of the sixth movie, ''[[M06|Jirachi: Wish Maker]]'', in which it starred. It first became available in Japan to players who pre-ordered tickets to the movie, with other limited distribution events following throughout the year. Its distribution in the west was altered, as it was included in the [[Pokémon Colosseum Bonus Disc]] in the United States and in [[Pokémon Channel]] in Europe and Australia. Unlike its predecessors, Jirachi does not have an extensive story or event in the core games, with its lore limited to a few indirect [[Mossdeep City|references]].

Jirachi is heavily connected to the real-world Japanese festival of {{wp|Tanabata}}, with several [[List of Tanabata event Pokémon|distributions]] occurring in celebration of the event.
{{-}}
====Deoxys====
[[File:Ranger 3 Deoxys mission art.png|thumb|240px|left|{{p|Deoxys}} surrounded by {{OBP|Pokémon Ranger|Ranger series}}s]]
{{p|Deoxys}} is a {{type|Psychic}} Mythical Pokémon. It mutated from a space virus when exposed to a laser beam. It is able to change its form, altering its appearance and traits. The crystal on its chest acts as its brain, as well as a defense mechanism.

Although it retained a base stat total of 600, Deoxys was the first Mythical Pokémon to have a base stat distribution other than 100 in every stat. Additionally, Deoxys introduced the concept of [[List of Pokémon with form differences|Formes]] which altered the distribution of stats.

In spite of being included in the preceding games, {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}, Deoxys was first made available in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}. Officially revealed in late 2003 as a leading character in ''[[M07|Destiny Deoxys]]'', players were first able to capture Deoxys by use of the [[AuroraTicket]], which provided access to Birth Island, where it appears in-game.

While Deoxys originally had little impact on the story of [[Generation III]], {{pkmn|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}} introduced the [[Delta Episode]], a mission following the {{player}}'s first completion of the [[Hoenn League]] in which the player must stop a meteor from hitting the planet by destroying it with a befriended {{p|Rayquaza}}, revealing a Deoxys within. This marked the first time a Mythical Pokémon was available in-game without the need to attend an event or use a download code.

Contrary to its classification in Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, [http://www.pokemoncenter.com/info/Pokemon_Characters PokémonCenter.com] as well as the [[Scholastic]] book ''[[Official Guide to Legendary and Mythical Pokémon]]'' call Deoxys a Legendary Pokémon rather than a Mythical Pokémon.
{{-}}

===Generation IV===
Four Mythical Pokémon were introduced in [[Generation IV]] (five including {{p|Phione}}).

====Manaphy and Phione====
{{main|Sea guardians}}
[[File:Manaphyphione.png|thumb|200px|right|Artwork of {{p|Manaphy}} and {{p|Phione}} from {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}]]
{{p|Manaphy}} is a {{type|Water}} Mythical Pokémon, and {{p|Phione}} is a {{type|Water}} Pokémon. Manaphy are born on cold seafloors, also swimming great distances to return to their birthplace, and are born with a wondrous power to bond with any kind of Pokémon. Phione live in warm seas, using the inflation sac on their heads to search for food and to drift in packs, always returning to the place of their birth. Together, these two Pokémon species make up a Mythical duo of a parent and child.

Manaphy and Phione have the unique ability among Mythical Pokémon to [[Pokémon breeding|breed]] with {{p|Ditto}} in captivity to produce Phione. Phione, cannot, however, [[evolution|evolve]] into Manaphy. The only legitimate way to obtain a Phione in-game is to breed a Manaphy or another Phione. Phione is the weaker of the two Pokémon, having 80 distributed into each stat instead of 100. It is impossible to get a Manaphy Egg through this method.

Phione's status as a Mythical Pokémon is disputed, with even official sources contradicting one another. Further information can be found [[Phione (Pokémon)#Mythical status|here]].

Manaphy was first made available to those who pre-ordered tickets for ''[[M09|Pokémon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea]]'' in Japan. Anyone who pre-ordered tickets received a voucher which could be redeemed from June 17 to August 31, 2006, to access {{ga|Pokémon Ranger}}'s [[Ranger Net]] mission, "Recover the Precious Egg!". Once completed, a Manaphy Egg could be transferred to {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}} and hatched. Pokémon Ranger's sequel games, [[Pokémon Ranger: Shadows of Almia]] and [[Pokémon Ranger: Guardian Signs]] have similar downloadable missions where Manaphy Eggs can be transferred to not only Diamond and Pearl but {{g|Platinum}} and {{g|HeartGold and SoulSilver}} as well. Manaphy has since been released through distribution as most other Mythical Pokémon.
{{-}}
====Darkrai====
[[File:Darkrai Newmoon Island.png|thumb|240px|left|{{p|Darkrai}} on [[Newmoon Island]]]]
{{p|Darkrai}} is a {{type|Dark}} Mythical Pokémon. It chases people and Pokémon away from its territory by causing them to experience deep, nightmarish slumbers. However, it is merely protecting itself and means no harm. It is particularly active on moonless nights.

Darkrai is heavily connected with the {{status|sleep}} [[status condition]], as reflected by its [[signature Ability]], {{a|Bad Dreams}}, and its [[signature move]] {{m|Dark Void}}. It also learns related moves, such as {{m|Nightmare}}. From [[Generation VII]] onward, Dark Void fails if used by any other Pokémon.

Darkrai has appeared with an antagonistic role in [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness]] and [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky]], specifically as an enemy of the Legendary Pokémon {{p|Cresselia}}. In {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}, and {{game|Platinum}}, the player must also cure {{tc|Sailor}} [[Eldritch]]'s son of a nightmare using a [[Lunar Feather|Lunar Wing]] from Cresselia. The two Pokémon's relationship is further cemented in the anime episode ''[[DP104|Sleepless in Pre-Battle!]]'', in which Cresselia is revealed to actively drive Darkrai away from [[Canalave City]]. Collectively, the two Pokémon are known by a fan designator, the [[lunar duo]].

Darkrai was officially revealed in February 2007, and was first made available to those who owned Pokémon Diamond and Pearl and watched ''[[M10|Pokémon: The Rise of Darkrai]]'' in Japan from release to September 9, 2007. Other distributions were made available afterward. Notably, in {{game|Platinum}}, an event gave the [[Member Card]] to players over [[Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection]], activating an in-game event which allowed for capture of Darkrai on [[Newmoon Island]].
{{-}}

====Shaymin====
[[File:Shaymin Gracideas.png|thumb|240px|{{p|Shaymin}} in a field of [[Gracidea]] flowers]]
{{p|Shaymin}} is a {{type|Grass}} Mythical Pokémon. Shaymin live in flower patches and avoid detection by curling up to look like a flowering plant. Shaymin are able to dissolve toxins in the air to transform ruined land into a lush field of flowers. When sensing gratitude, the flowers all over its body burst into bloom.

When exposed to the blooming [[Gracidea|Gracidea flower]] during the daytime, Shaymin becomes Sky Forme Shaymin. Sky Forme has altered stats from its original Land Forme and takes on the {{t|Flying}} type as a secondary type. Shaymin will revert to its Land Forme at night, while {{status|frozen}} or, before [[Generation VII]], when deposited into the [[Pokémon Storage System]].

Shaymin was officially revealed in February 2008 as a star of ''[[M11|Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]'', and in early June 2008, its Sky Forme was revealed. Shaymin was first made available to owners of Pokémon {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}} during the theatrical showing of the movie in Japan from July 19 to September 30, 2008. Other distributions were later made available, but a notable distribution occurred for North American and PAL players from September 28 to November 8, 2009, through the distribution of the [[List of Key Items (Generation IV)|Key Item]] [[Oak's Letter]]. This item allowed players to access [[Seabreak Path]] and capture a Shaymin in [[Flower Paradise]].
{{-}}
====Arceus====
[[File:Arceus ruins art.png|thumb|left|240px|{{p|Arceus}} at the [[Sinjoh Ruins]]]]
{{p|Arceus}} is a {{type|Normal}} Mythical Pokémon. According to mythology, Arceus emerged from an Egg before the universe even existed, then shaped the world with its 1,000 arms.

Arceus is said to have created the regions of [[Sinnoh]] and [[Ransei]], and may have created the entire [[Pokémon universe]]. According to legend, Arceus also created two [[Legendary trio]]s. First, it created the [[creation trio]]: Dialga, Palkia, and Giratina, to balance time, space, and antimatter. Then, it created the [[lake guardians]]: {{p|Uxie}}, {{p|Mesprit}}, and {{p|Azelf}}, and created spirit, and has since been residing in the [[Hall of Origin]], which will connect to [[Spear Pillar]] when the Azure Flute is played there. As their creator, it is both trios' [[trio master]]. It is unique in this regard, as it is the only Mythical Pokémon to be the master of a Legendary trio, and the only Pokémon to be the master of two.

Arceus is often referenced in [[Sinnoh myths|Sinnoh's mythology]] as the "Original One". Both [[Canalave City]]'s [[Canalave Library|library]] and the [[Plate]]s scattered across Sinnoh describe Arceus' creation of the universe. It receives more exposure in-game than Mythical Pokémon traditionally find. It is the titular character of the upcoming {{g|Legends: Arceus}}, and a major focus of the [[Generation V]] [[Spin-off Pokémon games|spin-off game]] {{g|Conquest}}.

Arceus' [[signature Ability]], {{a|Multitype}}, allows it to [[List of Pokémon with form differences#Arceus|change its form]] and [[type]] depending on which plate it [[held item|holds]]. This will also change the type of its [[signature move]], {{m|Judgment}}.

Arceus was officially revealed on February 14, 2009, and first made available to players on July 18 of that year, the day when ''[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]'' premiered in Japan. Arceus was revealed to international audiences on August 3, 2009.
{{-}}

===Generation V===
Four Mythical Pokémon were introduced in [[Generation V]].

====Victini====
[[File:Victini-Liberty Garden Island.png|thumb|200px|{{p|Victini}} on [[Liberty Garden]]]]
{{p|Victini}} is a {{2t|Psychic|Fire}}-type Mythical Pokémon. It is said that this Pokémon brings victory and that trainers with Victini always win, regardless of the type of encounter. It creates an unlimited supply of energy inside its body, which it shares with those who touch it. When it shares the energy it creates, that being's entire body will be overflowing with power.

Victini is notable for appearing before the starter Pokémon of its [[Generation V|debut generation]], giving it the [[List of Pokémon by Unova Pokédex number|Unova Pokédex number]] #000, a first in the Pokémon series.

Victini was revealed in a preview for [[M14|the fourteenth Pokémon movie]] which was shown at the end of ''[[M13|Zoroark: Master of Illusions]]''. It was made available in-game by use of the [[Liberty Pass]], an [[event item]] which was distributed across varying time periods worldwide. The Liberty Pass allowed players to travel to [[Liberty Garden]]. Once there, the player would be challenged by members of [[Team Plasma]] and could find Victini in the basement of the lighthouse.
{{-}}
====Keldeo====
[[File:Keldeo event art.png|thumb|200px|left|Artwork of {{p|Keldeo}}'s Ordinary Form]]
{{p|Keldeo}} is a {{2t|Water|Fighting}}-type Mythical Pokémon and the fourth member of the [[Swords of Justice]]. Its initial appearance in {{game|Black and White|s}} as well as the default in [[Pokémon Black and White Versions 2|Black 2 and White 2]] is its Ordinary Form. In Black 2 and White 2, Keldeo has a [[List of Pokémon with form differences#Keldeo|second form]], its Resolute Form. After triggering an event in the [[Pledge Grove]], the other Swords of Justice—{{p|Cobalion}}, {{p|Virizion}}, and {{p|Terrakion}}—will teach Keldeo {{m|Secret Sword}}. It will remain in its Resolute Form as long as it knows Secret Sword.

In [[The Crown Tundra]], Keldeo can be found in [[Ballimere Lake]] after completing [[Sonia]]'s sidequest to catch the other three Swords of Justice. Placing the other Swords of Justice in the player's party and cooking [[curry]] on the small island in the middle of the lake with the cooking pot on it will cause a wild Keldeo to appear, making it the third Mythical Pokémon available in regular gameplay without an event.

Keldeo debuted in the fifteenth Pokémon film ''[[M15|Kyurem VS. The Sword of Justice]]'', along with the other Swords of Justice.
{{-}}

====Meloetta====
[[File:Meloetta formes.png|thumb|200px|{{p|Meloetta}}'s two Formes]]
{{p|Meloetta}} is a Mythical Pokémon with two different Formes, Aria Forme and Pirouette Forme. Aria Forme is {{2t|Normal|Psychic}}-type while Pirouette Forme is {{2t|Normal|Fighting}}-type. Legend says that it once played a song and danced so lightly, it filled people's hearts with joy. However, when sorrow darkened the world, it lost the melody. At the same time, its red shoes were lost somewhere. Using {{m|Relic Song}} changes its form.

Upon entering the cafe in [[Castelia City]] in the [[core series]] {{pkmn|games}}, a guitarist, who knows of the story, remembers Meloetta's melody. Upon playing it, Meloetta remembers the song that it had danced to.

Meloetta made its anime debut in [[PK23]]. It debuted on TV in its Aria Forme in ''[[BW082|An Epic Defense Force!]]'' and its Pirouette Forme debuted in ''[[BW087|Expedition to Onix Island!]]''.
{{-}}

====Genesect====
[[File:Genesect promotional art.png|thumb|left|200px|{{p|Genesect}} using {{m|Techno Blast}}]]
{{p|Genesect}} is a {{2t|Bug|Steel}}-type Mythical Pokémon. Originally an ancient insect Pokémon who was feared as the strongest of hunters more than 300 million years ago, Team Plasma revived it from a [[Fossil]] and altered it with cybernetic upgrades in an attempt to create the strongest Pokémon in existence. It uses special [[Drive]]s to make variations to its signature move, {{m|Techno Blast}}.

Genesect had its anime debut in a group called the [[Genesect Army]] that had escaped from Team Plasma's [[P2 Laboratory]]. They were first seen in {{an|N}}'s visions in ''[[BW110|The Name's N!]]'', and later on starred in the sixteenth Pokémon movie ''[[M16|Genesect and the Legend Awakened]]'', in which they battled Mewtwo in [[New Tork City]].
{{-}}
===Generation VI===
Three Mythical Pokémon were introduced in [[Generation VI]].

====Diancie====
[[File:Diancie movie artwork.png|thumb|240px|{{p|Diancie}} running from thieves]]
{{p|Diancie}} is a {{2t|Rock|Fairy}}-type Mythical Pokémon. While never shown in the games, it is said to be the result of a {{p|Carbink}} that underwent a mutation. It can create diamonds to protect itself.

Diancie appeared in ''[[M17|Diancie and the Cocoon of Destruction]]'', where it is the princess of the [[Diamond Domain]]. It is given the objective to create a new Heart Diamond for the domain, as the current one is faltering, and seeks Xerneas and its Fairy Aura to gain the power to do so. It is sought after by multiple thieves who desire its diamonds and ultimately gains the power to make a Heart Diamond in an attempt to protect its friends from Yveltal. It appears with three [[Carbink servants]] and an elder Carbink named Dace.

It is the only Mythical Pokémon with the ability to [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]], which allows it to transform into Mega Diancie.
{{-}}
====Hoopa====
[[File:M18 Hoopa distribution artwork.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Obtaining {{p|Hoopa}} on a [[New Nintendo 3DS]] via [[Mystery Gift]]]]
{{p|Hoopa}} is a Mythical Pokémon that has two Formes. Hoopa Confined, the Mischief Pokémon, is a {{2t|Psychic|Ghost}}-type Pokémon, while Hoopa Unbound, the Djinn Pokémon, is a {{2t|Psychic|Dark}}-type Pokémon. It is said to be able to be able to use its gold rings to warp space in order to take things it likes and carry them away into alternate dimensions. It is also said to have carried away an entire castle in an attempt to steal all of its treasure according to some legends. Using an item known as a [[Prison Bottle]], Hoopa Confined can transform into Hoopa Unbound and remain so for three days, after which it transforms back to Hoopa Confined. It will also transform back if deposited in the PC. Hoopa Unbound was first introduced in {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}. {{m|Hyperspace Fury}} fails if used by any Pokémon other than Hoopa Unbound, such as if used by Hoopa Confined.

Hoopa appeared in ''[[M18|Hoopa and the Clash of Ages]]'' in both its Confined and Unbound forms.
{{-}}
====Volcanion====
[[File:Volcanion movie artwork.png|thumb|200px|{{p|Volcanion}}]]
{{p|Volcanion}} is a {{2t|Fire|Water}}-type Mythical Pokémon. It uses steam from arms on its back to disappear in fog and blow away mountains. It lives in mountains uninhabited by humans. According to the editor of the [[Lumiose Press]], Volcanion may have an organ unique to it inside its body that is hot enough to instantly vaporize water into steam to use in attacks. There is also a report that suggests that Volcanion may have used its power to destroy a mountain range where Kalos was founded.

It made its anime debut in ''[[M19|Volcanion and the Mechanical Marvel]]'', in which it went on a mission to rescue {{p|Magearna}} from a power-hungry man named [[Alva]]. It initially did not trust humans, but it changed its mind after seeing how Ash was determined to protect Magearna.
{{-}}

===Generation VII===
Five Mythical Pokémon were introduced in [[Generation VII]].

====Magearna====
[[File:801Magearna.png|thumb|left|200px|{{p|Magearna}}]]
{{p|Magearna}} is a {{2t|Steel|Fairy}}-type Mythical Pokémon. It was made by humans 500 years ago. Its body is entirely metallic and contains tricky machinery and a secret hidden inside. Its core, known as a Soul-Heart, is its true body.

It was first revealed in the March 2016 issue of CoroCoro. It is available via a [[List of in-game event Pokémon (Sun and Moon)#Magearna QR Code|QR Code event in Sun, Moon]], [[List of in-game event Pokémon (Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon)#Magearna QR Code|Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon]], making it the only Mythical Pokémon available through an indefinitely active event.

Magearna has a [[List of Pokémon with form differences#Magearna|second form]] known as its Original Color form. The difference in this form is purely cosmetic; it is gold and red. This form existed in the Generation VII games but was not distributed until [[Generation VIII]], where it can be received as a reward for completing the [[National Pokédex]] in [[Pokémon HOME]].

It acted as one of the main stars of ''[[M19|Volcanion and the Mechanical Marvel]]''. In the film, it is said to have been created by a brilliant scientist named [[Nikola]] five centuries ago. In the present day, it was kidnapped by [[Alva]], a corrupt minister of the [[Azoth Kingdom]] who sought to use Magearna's powers for his own selfish purposes.

====Marshadow====
[[File:Marshadow Z Move artwork.png|thumb|right|200px|{{p|Marshadow}} using its exclusive [[Z-Move]], {{m|Soul-Stealing 7-Star Strike}}]]
{{p|Marshadow}} is a {{2t|Fighting|Ghost}}-type Mythical Pokémon. Its very existence is the stuff of legends, as very few people have ever seen it. Marshadow is known to travel through the shadows of humans and Pokémon in order to become stronger by copying the power of movements within said shadows. It has a form-like transformation known as Zenith Marshadow which is triggered when its fighting spirit starts burning.

It can utilize a unique Z-Crystal, the [[Marshadium Z]], which allows it to use the Z-Move [[Soul-Stealing 7-Star Strike]]. This Z-Crystal came with a promotional Marshadow in Pokémon Sun and Moon but is also available in Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon by showing Marshadow to a man in the Tide Song Hotel in Heahea City.

Marshadow was officially revealed on April 7, 2017.

Marshadow appeared in ''[[M20|I Choose You!]]'' where it acted as a guide to Ash and his friends.

====Zeraora====
[[File:Fula City Zeraora.png|thumb|left|200px|{{p|Zeraora}} using {{m|Plasma Fists}}]]
{{p|Zeraora}} is an {{type|Electric}} Mythical Pokémon introduced in {{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}}. Zeraora can channel a powerful magnetic field trough the electric currents located in its paw-pads. The magnetic field allows it to levitate and fly through the sky and travel as fast as a lightning strike.

It was revealed on April 8, 2018.

Zeraora was again made available for a limited time to celebrate the release of [[The Isle of Armor]] {{FB|Pokémon Sword and Shield|Expansion Pass}} for [[Pokémon Sword and Shield]]. If one million players defeated Zeraora in [[Max Raid Battle]]s on the [[Isle of Armor]], players would get a commemorative {{Shiny}} Zeraora in [[Pokémon HOME]].

Zeraora appeared in ''[[M21|The Power of Us]]''.

====Meltan and Melmetal====
[[File:Melmetal and Meltan.png|thumb|right|200px|{{p|Meltan}} and {{p|Melmetal}}]]
{{p|Meltan}} is a {{type|Steel}} Mythical Pokémon introduced in [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]]. It first appeared in [[Pokémon GO]] on September 21, 2018, by way of large numbers of {{p|Ditto}} disguised as Meltan. Meltan's identity was revealed on September 25, 2018. On October 24, 2018, it was revealed that Meltan can [[evolution|evolve]] into another Steel-type Mythical Pokémon, {{p|Melmetal}}.

Meltan is known to be curious and expressive. It is instinctively drawn to metal that it could absorb, as well as other Meltan, in order to combine and form Melmetal. Melmetal was worshiped in ancient times for creating metal.

Meltan can be caught when opening the [[Mystery Box]] in Pokémon GO, which causes many Meltan to spawn around the player for a limited time. Meltan can only evolve into Melmetal in Pokémon GO, requiring 400 Meltan Candies.

Meltan is the only Pokémon, and by extension the only Mythical Pokémon, that is only obtainable in Pokémon GO. Melmetal was once the same, but has since been distributed as a gift in [[Pokémon HOME]] given for transferring Pokémon from GO using the [[GO Transporter]], this gift is a special Melmetal capable of Gigantamaxing in [[Pokémon Sword and Shield]].

A group of {{OBP|Meltan|recurring}} first appeared in ''[[SM106|Evolving Research!]]''. In ''[[SM112|Got Meltan?]]'', one of them was {{pkmn2|caught}} by {{Ash}}. In ''[[SM138|Final Rivals!]]'', Ash's Meltan evolved into {{AP|Melmetal}} by combining with the other Meltan.
{{-}}

===Generation VIII===
Unlike previous generations, there were no new Mythical Pokémon in the game data or code of [[Pokémon Sword and Shield]] when the games were released. However, a new Mythical Pokémon was added to the game in update 1.2.0.
====Zarude====
[[File:Forest of Okoya Zarude.png|thumb|left|200px|{{p|Zarude}}]]
{{p|Zarude}} is a {{2t|Dark|Grass}}-type Mythical Pokémon. It can use the vines from its body for a variety of purposes such as healing. It is known to live in packs, residing in dense forests. Zarude has a quick wit which its uses in battle along with its claws and other means of attacking.

{{p|Zarude}} was officially revealed on [[Pokémon Day]] 2020. Its silhouette was officially teased by [[The Pokémon Company International]] and [[CoroCoro]].

Zarude was heavily featured in ''[[M23|Secrets of the Jungle]]''.

==Trivia==
* If {{p|Phione}} is not considered a Mythical Pokémon:
** {{p|Manaphy}} is the only Mythical Pokémon that can breed; as such, it is also the only Mythical Pokémon that is not a member of the {{egg3|Undiscovered}}.
** {{p|Keldeo}} has the lowest base stat total of all of the fully-evolved Mythical Pokémon at 580.
* Every Mythical Pokémon along with [[Special Pokémon]] in [[List of Pokémon by Alola Pokédex number (Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon)|Alola Pokédex]] is marked by a special golden background in its [[Pokédex]] page instead of a regular blue one.
* Mythical Pokémon are almost always unavailable in a regular playthrough of the main series Pokémon games. The only Pokémon to lose this exclusivity are:
** {{p|Deoxys}}, in {{game|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire|s}}
** {{p|Celebi}}, in the [[Virtual Console]] release of {{game|Crystal}}
** {{p|Keldeo}}, in [[The Crown Tundra]]
** {{p|Mew}}, in {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}} (if save data from {{g|Let's Go Pikachu and Let's Go Eevee}} is detected)
** {{p|Jirachi}}, in {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}} (if save data from {{g|Sword and Shield}} is detected)
* {{p|Meltan}} is the only Mythical Pokémon that is capable of [[evolution]].
* {{p|Melmetal}} is the only Mythical Pokémon that has a [[Gigantamax]] form.
* {{p|Diancie}} is the only Mythical Pokémon that is capable of [[Mega Evolution]].
* Excluding {{p|Arceus}}'s alternate forms, there are no {{t|Ground}}-, {{t|Ice}}-, {{t|Poison}}-, or {{t|Dragon}}-type Mythical Pokémon.
* All Mythical Pokémon only have a single possible Ability in each form.
* [[Generation VIII]] is the only generation in which a new Mythical Pokémon was not present in the debut [[core series]] games' data at launch.
* [[Pokédex]] entries for {{p|Dratini}} state that it was believed to be a mythical Pokémon until it was caught by a {{tc|fisher|fisherman}}.
* {{p|Mew}}'s Pokédex entry in {{eng|Pokémon Stadium}} uses the words 'mythical Pokémon' in its English entry prior to the term being officially used outside Japan.
* {{p|Lugia}} and {{p|Ho-Oh}} were treated similarly to Mythical Pokémon in the core [[Generation III]] games and Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum. They cannot be obtained through normal gameplay in these games, nor are they required to complete any Pokédex. Lugia and Ho-Oh have been treated the same as other [[Legendary Pokémon]] in all games starting with {{g|HeartGold and SoulSilver}}.
* Even though {{p|Rotom}} is not a {{pkmn2|Legendary}} or Mythical Pokémon, it is mentioned in the list of Sinnoh's Legendary and Mythical Pokémon from [[Charon]]'s notebook in the chapter ''[[PS430|Unplugging Rotom (Heat, Wash, Mow, Fan, Frost)]]'' from the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga.
* In the Japanese version of {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}, [[Professor Rowan]] refers to {{p|Uxie}}, {{p|Mesprit}}, and {{p|Azelf}} as Mythical Pokémon (Japanese: まぼろしのポケモン), at the [[Canalave Library]]. This was translated as "mirage Pokémon" in English. However, he also refers to them as a Legendary Pokémon later, at [[Lake Verity]].
* In {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}, [[Cyrus]] refers to {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Palkia}} as "mythical Pokémon" (Japanese: 神話のポケモン ''mythical Pokémon''). However, this predates the use of the term Mythical Pokémon in English and has a different Japanese name. The same translation is used in {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}}.

Trivia
* Yanappu was first seen in an image despicting Toys in the month of July, but it wasn't named and nothing was known about it. In the beggining of August a ''false'' leak of the September issue of CoroCoro showed this Pokémon again with more information about it, but it was proven false, even though this Pokémon is now know as real. This could prove the leak had actually some true ''leaked'' information about the upcoming games and that some of the rest of the Pokémon shown are real too.

(yes.. it needs links xD.. I've been away a while so I'm a little ..off). Thanks in advance. [[User:YukitoOoO|YukitoOoO]] 03:20, 22 August 2010 (UTC)

Serebii just revealed the 3 monkey's english names, which were released via English Display Boxes sent to game retailers. There's a picture, but it's low quality. As such, I'm just wondering if an admin may want to protect the 3 elemental monkey's pages, as Serebii isn't a reliable source for Bulba, as posted on multiple pages, or if they think the picture is reliable enough, rename. Just thought I'd post because obviously people will see it and attempt to change it. [[User:Myzou|Myzou]] 22:14, 24 December 2010 (UTC)
:It's not just Serebii - it's all unofficial sources of information. We'll just watch the pages for now. I'd rather not lock editing for everyone just in case.

Looks like there is disagreement about Tsutarja's move. In my opinion, it can't be Grass Mixer. Just compare it with Shooti's Tsutarja's GM.

::: Did anyone consider "Grass Oath" and Adyniz, they aren't going to change the animation of a move only a few episodes later especially when it's of the same species. If this was Carnivine doing the attack (or insert grass Pokemon that can learn grass mixer if Carnivine can't) then I might be able to see the argument. But yeah two different Tsutarja's with the same move with different animations, doesn't quite make any sense. Personally it's either Grass Oath (since we have yet to see its animation, assuming this isn't it), and Leaf Storm (the only other grass attack that can be remotely redone in animation this "soon"). Air Cutter is a bad example since this is a new series so it likely changed, however a few episodes later and Grass Mixer changes drastically? Not only is the color different, so is its animation. Shooti's Tsutarja's tail controlled the attack Grass Mixer. It looked like Ash's Tsutarja's whole body was controlling this attack (assuming it didn't launch like a normal attack, it's not that fresh in my mind, if Tsutarja was in the swirling leaves as well when trying to hit Mamepato or it was an attack already launched) --[[User:Dman dustin|Dman dustin]] 12:00, 28 October 2010 (UTC)

==Trivia==

Could you say that Paul stole the idea of the counter shield and used it with his Gastrodon (East) with Muddy Water...? [[User:Chomi|Chomi]] 17:10, 5 August 2010 (UTC)
:Getting ideas regarding a move isn't stealing and it doesn't sound like a trivia line either. However, we can mention it while writing the detailed summary. ♫♪[[User:Adyniz|'''Ady''']][[User talk:Adyniz|'''Niz''']]♪♫ 17:13, 5 August 2010 (UTC)

== Worth Mentioning? ==

It it worth noting that this episode is the first time that Counter Shield and Ice Aqua Jet, this generation's improvised moves, were used in the same episode (as well as the large amount of episodes since the last time these moves even showed up)?

== Another Shinji ==

There's another Shinji in the Pokémon Anime. He's the Hitmonlee Trainer from Legend Of Raikou movie. He was unnamed in English Version. Should there be a disambiguation? And it's pretty possible that Hitmonlee Shinji's dub name is Sean because Chronicles characters's names are taken from the trainers from GSC and there is Cooltrainer named Shinji in the game, and his name Sean in English Version. The same rule was used for Kenta/Jimmy, Jun'ichi/Vincent, Takumi/Jared, Tsuyoshi/Corey and every other character from Chronicles who shared the name with trainer in GSC (except Tsutomu/Georgio, for some reason). --[[User:Maxim|Maxim]] 18:11, 1 March 2007 (UTC)

:It makes sense, but I'm against it. Recently, [[May]] was turned into a disambig page. I've since been going through every article linking to the correct one. I suppose with Shinji it wouldn't be that big of a deal, since he hasn't been in that many episodes, but it's such a time-consuming task to do that. --[[User:PAK Man|PAK Man]] 22:03, 1 March 2007 (UTC)

Should it be included in the Status Unknown? Since he was seen trying to catch one. He looked annoyed after it fled. He wouldn't be annoyed if he only wants to battle it, right?-[[User:Billy4b2004|Billy4b2004]] 09:11, 15 November 2008 (UTC)
: Well if it Fled, It shouldn't be there. --[[User:Force Fire|Force]] [[User talk:Force Fire|''Fire'']] 09:13, 15 November 2008 (UTC)
::Fearow had also fled but we still have it there. And we don't know if he'll try catching it again like what he did with Fearow. -[[User:Billy4b2004|Billy4b2004]] 09:15, 15 November 2008 (UTC)
::: That's because we don't know if he successfully caught it or even caught it at all.

== Fearow ==

Why does it keep getting removed?--[[User:Kuki|Kuki]][[User talk:Kuki|Talk]] 16:50, 20 November 2008 (UTC)

:Probably due to a question in the Pokémon.com mailbag that states that Paul did not succeed in catching the Fearow. Of course, that answer is more than likely dub-biased, there's no such statement made concerning the original Japanese version, and if Paul suddenly shows up with a Fearow in hand...--[[User:Shiningpikablu252|Shiningpikablu252]] 17:07, 20 November 2008 (UTC)

Why does it say that Electabuzz and Ursaring are in "status unknown"? In Lost leader strategy, Reggie told Ash that Paul lets him breed some of his pokemon till Paul needs them in a battle or something. Is it possible, that Electabuzz and Ursaring are at home, but can be called upon at any time (like Ash's Sqirte and Charizard)?--[[User:Tomas|Tomas]] 17:27, 21 April 2009 (UTC)

== We're gonna have to change the "On Hand" section again... ==

After watching the DP128 preview, it is clear that Paul uses Hariyama, Magmar, Electabuzz, Nidoking and Ursaring in battle against Brandon. I don't think he would get rid of Torterra, but we're gonna have to move Gliscor, Weavile and Honchkrow to the "Status Unknown" section.

To be fair, since Hariyama is already shown as on hand shouldn't the list be updated with Electabuzz and Ursaring. You can't show one Pokémon being on hand based on a preview and not the other two... [[User:Watchermark|Watchermark]] 18:03, 19 May 2009 (UTC)

== Page for Magmar? ==

Isn't it about damn time Paul's Magmar gets a page? Seriously, how many times does it have to appear to get its own page? It appeared in DP066 defeating Maylene's Lucario, it appeared in DP100, it will appear in DP128 fighting against Brandon's Registeel, and according to the latest Bulbanews item, it will even evolve and fight against Ash. That's more than Gliscor and Weavile ever did, and yet they do have pages and Magmar doesn't. [[User:Dilophosaurus Rex|Dilophosaurus Rex]] 18:07, 19 May 2009 (UTC)

:::: Even if it was a different Magmar, why would there be more than one article? I mean the only reason would be if hypothetically Tauros gets an evolution, and one of Ash's Tauros evolves, the Tauros article would remain but a new article would be created for the new evolution. Of course this isn't the case with Paul, it's highly unlikely Paul has more than a few Magmar. --[[User:Dman dustin|Dman dustin]] 12:27, 21 May 2009 (UTC)
:::::Yeah, and maybe Paul's using a new Torterra because his old one lost to Cynthia's Garchomp. I think that you're just speculating too far. Also, it's going to be a Magmortar by [[DP131]], so we might as well give it a page then. -- [[User:ElectricArbok|ElectricArbok]]

==Pokémon Order==

Considering that Paul rotates his main team between 7 pokémon, meaning that at least one of them is always under status unknown, shouldn't those ones be kept up under his on hand pokémon? --[[User:HoennMaster|Hoenn]][[User talk:HoennMaster|Master]] 00:32, 17 June 2009 (UTC)

==Changing "On Hand" to "Rotated in Team"==

:The preferred format for anime images is PNG. That's why the unsatisfactory tag is up.

== Generation II ==
The instance about the majority of Paul's pokemon being related to generation 2 has a mistake, because his magmar is already a magmortar, it should go like this:

"The majority of the Pokémon that Paul has on his team are part of an evolution family related to Generation II.
* Ursaring was introduced in Generation II.
* Honchkrow, Weavile, Gliscor and Magmortar are Generation IV Pokémon, but evolve from Generation II
*:Pokémon (Murkrow, Sneasel and Gligar, respectively; In the case of Magmortar, its [[Magby|base form]] is from generation II).
* Electabuzz was introduced in Generation I, but evolve from a [[Elekid|Generation II Pokémon.]]"

'''Ash's Primeape''' (Japanese: '''サトシのオコリザル''' ''Satoshi's Okorizaru'') was the eighth [[Pokémon]] caught by [[Ash Ketchum]] during his travels through [[Kanto]]. Its voice actor in both English and Japanese is 大竹宏 ''Hiroshi Ōtake''; however, [[Michael Haigney]] provided its English voice in ''[[EP029|The Punchy Pokémon]]''.

==History==
[[File:Mankey anime.png|200px|left|thumb|As a {{p|Mankey}} (before capture)]]
Ash caught Primeape on {{rt|7}} in the episode ''[[EP025|Primeape Goes Bananas]]''. On the road to [[Celadon City]], Ash learned that {{Gary}} had already captured 30 Pokémon. Upon hearing this, Ash aspired to capture more for himself.

Soon afterwards, a friendly wild Mankey ate some of {{an|Brock}}'s [[rice ball|food]]. Ash took this opportunity to try to capture the little Pokémon, but the [[Poké Ball]] failed, and Mankey was angered. It chased the group, beat up Ash, and stole [[Ash's hat]]. Mankey gleefully teased Ash as the young trainer fumed about having his beloved cap stolen.

[[Team Rocket]] took this opportunity to try to capture {{AP|Pikachu}}. Mankey came up to Team Rocket, then [[James]] kicked it out of sight. The angry Pig Monkey evolved into {{p|Primeape}}, punched [[Jessie]] in the face sending her face-first into a rock, then viciously attacked the Team Rocket members as well as Jessie again. After it beat up Brock, chased Ash and {{an|Misty}} down Route 7 and followed Ash into one of Team Rocket's pitfalls, Ash made several attempts to capture the {{m|Thrash|berserking}} Primeape, and eventually, his {{AP|Charmander|Charizard}} was finally able to defeat it. Ash captured it and unleashed it upon Team Rocket, where it brutalized them and sent them blasting off into a nest full of wild Primeape.

In ''[[EP029|The Punchy Pokémon]]'', after leaving Celadon City, Ash and his friends met a man named {{Ka|Anthony}} who was training to win the [[P1 Grand Prix]], a tournament for {{type2|Fighting}} Pokémon. Anthony's daughter, {{Ka|Rebecca}}, wanted him to stop spending so much time away from home training. Brock and Ash volunteered to enter the tournament to discourage Anthony. Ash entered Primeape.

In the first match, Ash saved Primeape from a nasty fall, which caused the usually angry Pokémon to become closer to Ash. Primeape eventually won the tournament. Anthony asked to train Primeape, so Ash gave it to him.

Primeape was only around for a few of episodes, but it had a lot of personality. It was very mischievous, mercilessly vicious, extremely violent, almost always out of control, had a very short fuse and was prone to an explosive rage. This notably caused Ash to audibly reconsider using Primeape in a [[gym]] {{pkmn|battle}} against [[Erika]]. Despite this, it was given away after only five episodes and only appeared in the episode it was caught and the episode it was given away in. But under the explosively violent personality, it had a softer side, which allowed it to bond with Ash.

==Trivia==
[[File:EP025.png|right|thumb|200px|Primeape wearing [[Ash's hat]]]]
* This was the first Pokémon that took [[Ash's hat]].
* Primeape shares some similarities with another of Ash's primate Pokémon, [[Dawn's Ambipom|Aipom]].
**Both evolved while not owned by him - Primeape in the wild and Ambipom with Dawn.
**Both of these Pokémon have annoyed Ash by stealing his {{TP|Ash|hat}}.
**Both were also given to another Trainer for training, Primeape to Anthony and Ambipom to [[O]].
* This is Ash's second Pokémon that refused to obey him. The first was {{AP|Pikachu}} and the third would eventually be {{AP|Charizard}}, who, ironically, was the Pokémon that defeated Primeape when Ash captured it.
* Primeape was the first {{type2|Fighting}} Pokémon caught by Ash, as well as the only pure Fighting-type owned by a main character so far in the anime.
* Primeape is the only one of Ash's Pokémon that evolved prior to its capture in the same episode.
* During [[Pokémon Sunday]] of June 27th, 2010, presenter [[Shokotan]] chose Primeape in her ideal team for Ash.

'''Viridian City''' (Japanese: '''トキワシティ''' ''Tokiwa City'') is a small city located in western [[Kanto]]. In the [[Generation I]] and [[Generation III]] [[Pokémon games|games]], [[Team Rocket]] leader [[Giovanni]] serves as [[Gym Leader|Leader]] of the {{t|Ground}}-specialist [[Viridian Gym]], but the [[Gym]] is locked until the {{player}} can gain all seven other [[Badge#Kanto|League Badges]]. {{ga|Blue}} becomes the Gym Leader in the [[Generation II]] and [[Generation IV]] games and trains a variety of {{obp|Pokémon|species}}.

Three paths, all major, lead from the city center. To the north is {{rt|2}}, as well as [[Viridian Forest]], which lies in the middle of Route 2 south of [[Pewter City]]. To the south is {{rt|1}}, which leads to [[Pallet Town]]. To the west is {{rt|22}}, leading to the [[Indigo Plateau]] and the [[Pokémon League]].

==Places of interest==
===Pokémon Academy===
{{main|Pokémon academy|Pokémon Academy}}
A Pokémon academy is a school where students and [[Pokémon Trainer|trainers]] can learn more about {{obp|Pokémon|species}}. Most beginning trainers visit at least one of them, and common trainers who study extensively at these locations are [[Lass]]es, [[School Kid]]s, and [[Scientist]]s. Much like the Pokémon Academy in [[Violet City]], this building, located in the center of Viridian in [[Generation III]] only, is dedicated to teaching the basics of Pokémon to inexperienced trainers. Many trainers that pass through Viridian fall under this category, making the city an ideal location. In [[Generation II]] this school was rebuilt as the [[Trainer House]].

===Old man===
{{main|Old man (Kanto)}}
[[File:Old man.png|thumb|left|The old man lying down in the middle of the road]]
There is a grumpy old man that lives in central Viridian City that will not let Trainer's pass through to {{rt|2}}, until he has had his coffee for the day. In the original Japanese games, the old man is not grumpy from lack of coffee, but is rather drunk and has passed out in the middle of the road much to the dismay of his grandchild. This is just a barrier in the game, so players will not wander past Viridian City until the player goes to the Viridian [[Poké Mart]] and delivers a [[List of key items in Generation III#Oak's Parcel|parcel]] to [[Professor Oak]].

After that, he starts to lighten up and help the player by teaching them how to catch a Pokémon using a [[Poké Ball]]. This is a guide for novice players in {{game2|Red|Blue|Yellow}}, and {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}. He will also give the player a [[Teachy TV]] in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, which teaches the player a variety of things about battling and catching Pokémon.

He appears again in {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}, and {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} saying that he had his cup of coffee and also tells the player he was once an expert at catching Pokémon. This is a reference to the events that happened [[Generation I|three years]] before [[Generation II]].

===Trainer House===
{{main|Trainer House}}
[[File:Trainerhouse.png|thumb|right|The Trainer House in Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver]]
A unique attraction in Generation II-era Viridian is the Trainer House, a location where trainers from far and wide can battle one trainer per day. On entry, the first floor has a few people and a small desk. Speaking to the woman behind the desk enables entry into the lower basement, where a lone trainer can be found. The basement is mostly comprised of a large open area with only a desk located at the top of the room and an open battlefield on the lower portion. The game takes control of the player, leading them to where the player is automatically engaged in their battle against their opponent. After the battle, the game once again takes control of the player, taking them back to the desk. After the battle, the player cannot re-enter the battlefield until the next day.

In Generation II, this trainer will either be {{ga|Cal}}, if the {{player}} has never used [[Mystery Gift]] with anyone, or the last player he or she has used Mystery Gift with. If it is Cal, his team will consist of the final forms of all three [[Johto]] [[starter Pokémon]] at [[level]] 50, namely {{p|Meganium}}, {{p|Typhlosion}} and {{p|Feraligatr}}. If it is another player that has been Mystery Gifted with, their team will consist of whatever Pokémon were in their party at the time of Mystery Gifting, including [[held item]]s, [[move]]s, levels, and so on. No matter what, however, the opponent trainer's sprite will be of {{ga|Ethan}}.

In Generation IV, the player will initially encounter only [[Ace Trainer]] Cal. However, because Mystery Gift no longer requires communicating with other players, more trainers can be encountered through the use of the [[Pokéwalker]]. Up to 10 trainers may be encountered in this way. When the player meets someone in the Pokéwalker and re-syncs it back to the player's game, the trainer and their Pokémon will appear in the basement. Unlike Generation II, levels are not retained above level 50 and will revert both player's Pokémon to a maximum level of level 50, just like a [[Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection|Wi-Fi]] battle.

==Viridian Gym==
{{main|Viridian Gym}}
[[Image:Viridian Gym FRLG.png|thumb|180px|Viridian Gym in {{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}}]]
The Viridian Gym is the official [[gym]] of Viridian City. It is based on {{type2|Ground}} {{obp|Pokémon|species}}. The [[Gym Leader]] is [[Giovanni]], the head of [[Team Rocket]]. {{pkmn|Trainer}}s who defeat him receive the {{Badge|Earth}}. Viridian Gym appears in all games set in the [[Kanto]] region. In [[Generation I]] and {{gen|III}}, when the {{player}} makes their first encounter with the gym, it is locked because of the absence of the Gym Leader. With this acknowledged, the player journeys off onto other Gyms to challenge them. Once this has been accomplished and the player has collected the other seven [[Gym Badges]], the Viridian Gym reopens.

Inside the Gym, the floor uses the same transporting tiles as in the {{OBP|Rocket Hideout|Celadon City}}. The player must use these tiles to navigate through the Gym to reach Giovanni. In [[Generation II]] and {{gen|IV}}, Blue takes over the gym. In Generation II, the gym is completely remodeled and the tiles are now gone. In Generation IV, the tiles are put back up. The maze of tiles is roughly the same shape of the original Generation II gym. The colors of the Gym's exterior are based on the colors most associated with the type that the Gym specializes in. Viridian Gym, however, is both green and blue, likely referring to its Gym Leader's name.

In [[Generation I]], a Revive can be found, while a [[Macho Brace]] replaces it in [[Generation III]], making it the only gym with items in it. This is the only gym to be based on 3 different types throughout the games and anime and the only one to not have a type for a generation. In all generations aside from [[Generation III]], at least one Trainer in the Viridian Gym owned a {{p|Rhydon}}, while in [[Generation III]], all of Giovanni's Pokémon knew {{m|Earthquake}}.

[[Image:Viridian City Pokémon Center.jpg|thumb|right|Viridian City's Pokémon Center.]]
Viridian City is first visited in ''[[EP002|Pokémon Emergency!]]'', when [[Ash Ketchum]] takes his injured {{AP|Pikachu}} to the [[Pokémon Center]] here. When entering the town, Ash is stopped by Viridian City's [[Officer Jenny]], who finds him suspicious, due to the fact he is carrying Pikachu in his arms and not a [[Poké Ball]]. While staying overnight at the Pokémon Center, Ash has his first encounter with the [[Team Rocket]] Trio: [[Jessie]], [[James]], and {{MTR}}. Ash and Pikachu foil their plot to steal all the {{obp|Pokémon|species}} in the Pokémon Center, thus beginning Team Rocket's obsession with capturing Ash's Pikachu.

Sometime later, Ash and friends revisit Viridian City. They discover the [[Viridian Gym]], and Ash decides to fight the [[Gym Leader]], but {{Gary}} ends up fighting him first (forcing Ash to wait outside due to the one-trainer-at-a-time policy that Viridian Gym apparently has). After {{TP|Misty|Togepi}} is carried off by a {{p|Fearow}}, Ash and friends go looking for it, only to find it in the Gym. They then notice that Gary and his [[Gary's cheerleaders|girlfriends]] were badly injured due to {{an|Mewtwo}}'s attacks. After Ash fights and wins a difficult and dangerous battle with Team Rocket, the Gym collapses due to Togepi blowing up the stands. Afterwards, Ash and friends leave.

After the [[Silver Conference]], Viridian is once again revisited, only some things have changed. Most notably, the [[Nurse Joy]] who worked at the Viridian Center in ''Pokémon Emergency!'' had retired, {{an|Misty}}'s [[bike]] had been fixed, and Misty had to return to the gym in [[Cerulean City|Cerulean]] because her [[The Sensational Sisters|sisters]] were going away for three months. After a battle with Team Rocket, as well as [[Invincible Pokémon Brothers|a trio of hired thugs]], they leave Viridian City.

Ash later passes through Viridian on the way home after the [[Ever Grande Conference]]. Visiting the site of the rebuilt Viridian Gym, circumstances end up bringing him to the battlefield for a friendly one-on-one challenge with the temporary Gym Leader. While he doesn't fight [[Giovanni]], he does end up fighting [[Agatha]] of the [[Elite Four]].

===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
Viridian City is first visited in the ''[[PS002|Bulbasaur, Come Home!]]'' round of the [[Red, Green & Blue chapter (Adventures)|Red, Green & Blue]] chapter when {{adv|Red}} and [[Professor Oak]] chase the {{obp|Pokémon|species}} that escaped from his laboratory. They enter the abandoned [[Viridian City Gym]] and fight with the only current resident of that building, an angry {{p|Machoke}}.

Viridian City made a brief appearance at the end of ''[[PS022|A Hollow Victreebel]]'' and at the beginning of ''[[PS023|Make Way For Magmar!]]'' in the [[Red, Green & Blue chapter (Adventures)|Red, Green & Blue Chapter]] where citizens where asking about where [[Giovanni]] had gone.

==Differences between generations==
===Generation I and III===
Viridian City is very consistent in the way of layout throughout each generation. There are no notable differences between the Generation I and Generation III games, except for houses being slightly bigger and some buildings repositioned. Trees have become bigger, flowers are more visible, and most other sprites have been upgraded to Generation III standards. Most of the towns residence remain the same, and will tell Trainers the same message. Items that are given out, however, are different from generation to generation.

===Generation II and IV===
The differences between the Generation II and IV and Generation I and III games are more noticeable. The [[Pokémon Academy]] seen in Generation III has been replaced with the giant [[Trainer House]], and other buildings were added as well. Within the Trainer House in Generation II, Trainer's will battle either {{ga|Cal}}, if the player has never used [[Mystery Gift]] with anyone, or the last player he or she has used Mystery Gift with. In Generation IV, the player may either battle Cal or upto 10 trainers who they met on their Pokéwalker.

==Trivia==
*Its Japanese motto is {{tt|トキワはみどりえいえんのいろ|Tokiwa is the color of green eternity}}.
*An {{pkmn|anime}} song [[Viridian City (song)|of the same name]] is centered on its status as the location of the final [[Gym]] in [[Kanto]].
*It is the only town that is the first visited in the game that has a Gym after the starting location, though the Gym is closed until the other seven [[Badge|Badges]] have been obtained.

'''Pokémon TCG: ''HeartGold & SoulSilver''''' (Japanese: '''ハートゴールドコレクション''' ''HeartGold Collection'' and '''ソウルシルバーコレクション''' ''SoulSilver Collection'') is the name given to the first expansion of cards from the ''HeartGold & SoulSilver'' era of the Pokémon Trading Card Game. The set brings several new mechanics and features to the game.

== Information ==
*Based on {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, this set predominantly includes [[Generation II]] Pokémon and features from the re-envisioned [[Johto]] region.
*For only the second time in the TCG, the card layout was redesigned mid-generation (the first was the transition from Neo to e-Card during Generation II). Changes include:
**The card border, as well as some of the graphics on the card have a gold and silver tinge, a direct reference to the games.
**The evolution box graphic returns to the upper left corner of the card next to the card name, as it was on cards released before the EX era. The stage name graphic remains on the top of the illustration window, albeit shifted slightly to the left. Basic Pokémon cards also have a small graphic added where the evolution box is on evolved Pokémon.
**The illustrator credit graphic is shorter in length, allowing more space for the Pokédex entry text, which has also been moved further down.
**As with the mid-Generation II redesign, levels are no longer shown.
**Another graphic has been added in the top right corner of the card, making the HP and card type more prominent.
*{{TCG|Pokémon LV.X}} are no longer present, now replaced by {{TCG|Pokémon Prime}}. Reflecting the namesake of the new TCG era, {{TCG|Pokémon LEGEND}} were another type of powerful Pokémon introduced. However, unlike the next set, only one Pokémon is present as opposed to two.
*{{TCG|Trainer card}}s are now reclassified as Goods cards in Japan, resulting in three separate classes of what used to be Trainer cards. Similarly to {{TCG|Supporter card}}s and {{TCG|Stadium card}}s, which were color-coded orange and green respectively after their reclassification in {{TCG|Diamond & Pearl}}, Goods cards are now color-coded blue. For the purpose of this and future checklists, Goods cards are marked as "G". The illustration window on all of these cards is now also gold instead of silver.
*In Japan, this set introduced a parallel alternate foil set, a feature that has been part of the English version of the TCG since {{TCG|Legendary Collection}}. In Japan, these cards are called '''Mirror Cards''' (ミラーカード) and feature a similar foil treatment to the alternate foil cards in English sets.

=== Trivia ===
*As mentioned above, this is the second time the card layout has been changed mid-generation as opposed to changing it at the start of a new one, but it is the first time the TCG has featured three distinct eras in one generation: DP, PL (DPt in Japan) and LEGEND.

'''Pokémon TCG: ''HeartGold & SoulSilver''''' (Japanese: '''ハートゴールドコレクション''' ''HeartGold Collection'' and '''ソウルシルバーコレクション''' ''SoulSilver Collection'') is the name given to the first expansion of cards from the ''HeartGold & SoulSilver'' era of the Pokémon Trading Card Game. The set brings several new mechanics and features to the game.

== Information ==
*Based on {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, this set predominantly includes [[Generation II]] Pokémon and features from the re-envisioned [[Johto]] region.
*For only the second time in the TCG, the card layout was redesigned mid-generation (the first was the transition from Neo to e-Card during Generation II). Changes include:
**The card border, as well as some of the graphics on the card have a gold and silver tinge, a direct reference to the games.
**The evolution box graphic returns to the upper left corner of the card next to the card name, as it was on cards released before the EX era. The stage name graphic remains on the top of the illustration window, albeit shifted slightly to the left. Basic Pokémon cards also have a small graphic added where the evolution box is on evolved Pokémon.
**The illustrator credit graphic is shorter in length, allowing more space for the Pokédex entry text, which has also been moved further down.
**As with the mid-Generation II redesign, levels are no longer shown.
**Another graphic has been added in the top right corner of the card, making the HP and card type more prominent.
*{{TCG|Pokémon LV.X}} are no longer present, now replaced by {{TCG|Pokémon Prime}}. Reflecting the namesake of the new TCG era, {{TCG|Pokémon LEGEND}} were another type of powerful Pokémon introduced. However, unlike the next set, only one Pokémon is present as opposed to two.
*{{TCG|Trainer card}}s are now reclassified as Goods cards in Japan, resulting in three separate classes of what used to be Trainer cards. Similarly to {{TCG|Supporter card}}s and {{TCG|Stadium card}}s, which were color-coded orange and green respectively after their reclassification in {{TCG|Diamond & Pearl}}, Goods cards are now color-coded blue. For the purpose of this and future checklists, Goods cards are marked as "G". The illustration window on all of these cards is now also gold instead of silver.
*In Japan, this set introduced a parallel alternate foil set, a feature that has been part of the English version of the TCG since {{TCG|Legendary Collection}}. In Japan, these cards are called '''Mirror Cards''' (ミラーカード) and feature a similar foil treatment to the alternate foil cards in English sets.

=== Trivia ===
*As mentioned above, this is the second time the card layout has been changed mid-generation as opposed to changing it at the start of a new one, but it is the first time the TCG has featured three distinct eras in one generation: DP, PL (DPt in Japan) and LEGEND.

'''Kadabra''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ユンゲラー''' ''Yungerer'') is a {{type2|Psychic}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Abra}} starting at [[level]] 16, and evolves into {{p|Alakazam}} when [[trade]]d.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
A Kadabra is characterized by its human-like body structure and its somewhat fox-like appearance. It has two large ears of the top of either side of its head, a red star-shaped symbol of its forehead (derived from {{wp|Zener cards}}), and two somewhat sinister-looking eyes in the middles of its face. Its eyes lead down to its nose and mouth and its relatively large mustache that grows out on the narrower section of its face. On both of its arms, there are brown sections that are located on the shoulder region of its body. Its arms are fairly thin and consist of Kadabra's regular yellow-hued skin. Its hands each have three fingers, of which all each have a large white claw attached. Its torso consists of a brown section of body similar to a {{wp|fauld}} and an insect-like abdomen below it, which has three red wavy lines (also derived from the Zener cards). Attached to this abdomen is a huge, thick tail, which is mostly yellow with a band of brown circling it. Its legs are very thin and also yellow. Its feet each have three toes: two in the front on each side, and one in the back near the ankle. Each of these toes has a large white claw attached to it. Kadabra wields one spoon which is used to amplify its [[Special Attack|telekinetic powers]].
====Gender differences====
A female has a shorter mustache.

====Special abilities====
Kadabra emits {{wp|alpha waves}} when using its psychic powers that induce headaches to those near it. These waves strangely cause clocks to run backwards and machines to malfunction. The amplitude of the waves are doubled when Kadabra is holding its spoon and increased even further when Kadabra closes its eyes.

Kadabra, and its evolution, {{p|Alakazam}}, are the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] that learn {{m|Kinesis}}.

===Behavior===
Kadabra, like {{p|Abra}}, sleep for around 18 hours a day. However, they are less peaceful and are more devoted to fighting than their pre-evolution. However, if they are outnumbered, they will still use {{m|Teleport}} to escape.

===Habitat===
[[Image:Urban.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Urban Pokémon}}]]
Kadabra live in urban areas, close to humans. Mostly they are found in abandoned buildings left to disrepair.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

==In the anime==
[[Image:Anime Episode 22 Screenshot - 1.png|thumb|right|{{TP|Sabrina|Kadabra}} in the anime]]
===Major Appearances===
[[Sabrina]], the [[Gym Leader]] of [[Saffron City]], has a {{TP|Sabrina|Kadabra}} that evolved from an Abra in ''[[EP022|Abra and the Psychic Showdown]]''.

===Minor Appearances===
In ''[[AG146|Fear Factor Phony]]'', a Kadabra was living in an abandoned mining colony with several other {{type2|Psychic}} Pokémon.

==In the manga==
Like her {{pkmn|anime}} counterpart, [[Sabrina]] in [[Pokémon Adventures]] also owns a Kadabra, making its first appearance in chapter 27.

==Trivia==
* "Pocus" was Kadabra's original English name.
* Kadabra is one of the few Pokémon that loses weight after it evolves. Others include {{p|Porygon}} to {{p|Porygon2}}, {{p|Gloom}} to {{p|Bellossom}}, and {{p|Gligar}} to {{p|Gliscor}}. Of the few, Kadabra and Alakazam are the only ones introduced in the same Generation.
* In Kadabra's {{3v2|Red|Green|Blue}} sprites, the red five-pointed star is missing from its forehead.
* It is currently impossible to search for Kadabra on the [[GTS]] website.
* In Kadabra's {{3v2|Red|Green|Blue}} sprites, it has its spoon in its right hand, but in {{game|Yellow}} it has its spoon in its left hand. In {{3v2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}, Kadabra holds the spoon with its right hand in Gold and Crystal and in its left in Silver. Beginning with [[Generation III]], all of Kadabra's sprites have shown it holding its spoon in its right hand.
* Kadabra has never been printed in the [[TCG]] since the [[Skyridge (TCG)|Skyridge]] set. This may be due to the {{wp|Uri Geller}} case.

===Origin===
Kadabra is based on a magician or someone who purports to bend spoons psychically, such as Uri Geller. It also has similarities to {{wp|foxes}}.

====Name origin====
Kadabra's name is part of an incantation used in {{wp|magic (illusion)|stage magic}}, ''{{wp|Abracadabra}}''. Its Japanese name is a reference to the magician {{wp|Uri Geller}}, replacing the ''ri'' character with the visually similar ''n'' character. Uri Geller claimed to have the ability to bend spoons with his mind, which is probably why Kadabra carries a spoon. Geller attempted to make a case against [[Nintendo|Nintendo of America]] for using his likeness in a character and lost.

==In other languages==

'''Ash's Pikachu''' (Japanese: '''サトシのピカチュウ''' ''Satoshi's Pikachu'') was the [[starter Pokémon|first Pokémon]] obtained by {{Ash}} on his journey as a [[Pokémon Trainer]]. Its universal voice actress is ''[[Ikue Ohtani]]''. However, in some episodes during the first season of the English dub, [[Rachael Lillis]] provided its voice when the original Japanese track couldn't be saved.

==In the anime==
===History===
[[Image:Ash'sHatAG.jpg|left|thumb|{{Ash}} and Pikachu]]
In the first episode of the [[Pokémon anime]], ''[[EP001|Pokémon - I Choose You!]]'', Ash woke up late the day he was supposed to go to [[Professor Oak]]'s laboratory to obtain his first Pokémon. When he arrived at the lab, the three available starter Pokémon, {{p|Bulbasaur}}, {{p|Charmander}}, and {{p|Squirtle}} had already been taken by other trainers who arrived earlier. Seeing that Ash was disappointed, Professor Oak gave him Pikachu, which did not take a liking to its new trainer. It refused to go into a [[Poké Ball]], and when Ash failed to catch a wild Pokémon, it laughed at him. However, by the end of the episode, Ash gained Pikachu's trust by protecting it from an attack by a flock of {{p|Spearow}} and rushing it to the [[Pokémon Center]]. Pikachu and Ash soon became inseparable. In ''[[EP039|Pikachu's Goodbye]]'', Ash gave Pikachu his consent to remain in a forest filled with Pikachu, but Pikachu returned to Ash's side.
 
[[Image:Ashs 1st pokeball.JPG|thumb|right|200px|Pikachu's [[Poké Ball]], which has a special lightning bolt mark. Ash carries it around but it hasn't been used since the very first episode]]
In general, Pikachu as a species are not particularly powerful, but Ash's Pikachu is an anomaly, overcoming odds in {{pkmn|battle}} numerous times. In ''[[EP005|Showdown in Pewter City]]'', it defeated [[Brock's Onix]] with an {{type2|Electric}} attack that triggered the sprinkler system causing Onix to be drenched in water, one of its weaknesses. In ''[[EP014|Electric Shock Showdown]]'', Pikachu fought [[Lt. Surge]]'s {{TP|Lt. Surge|Raichu}} and lost. During a resulting hospital stay, it refused to become Raichu's equal by evolving via a {{evostone|Thunderstone}}, and in the second battle, Pikachu overcame Raichu by using its superior speed. In ''[[EP002|Pokémon Emergency!]]'', {{MTR}} remarked that Pikachu's power "far exceeds its evolutionary level." Ash's Pikachu has also defeated very high level Pokémon that Ash's other Pokémon were unable to, such as {{p|Dragonite}} and {{p|Metagross}}. It has helped Ash win innumerable battles and [[Gym]] and {{pkmn|League}} matches.

However, at times, {{p|Pikachu}} has lived up to its species' frail and brittle strengths, particularly in Gym battles where it was defeated with relative ease by its opponent; for example, it was overpowered very easily by [[Lt. Surge's Raichu]] (in their first battle), [[Sabrina's Kadabra]], [[Blaine's Magmar]] (Thanks to its use of the 'Air Lens' technique, which heated the air around Magmar to deflect electric attacks), [[Falkner's Pidgeot]] (Having already defeated his {{p|Hoothoot}} and {{p|Dodrio}}), [[Bugsy's Scyther]] (after already battling his {{p|Metapod}}), [[Whitney's Miltank]] (Defeating it in the rematch thanks to Ash's strategy and it being worn down by {{AP|Cyndaquil}} and {{AP|Totodile}}), [[Clair's Dragonair]], [[Roark's Rampardos]] ''and'' [[Fantina's Drifblim]]. It also drew against [[Winona]]'s {{p|Pelipper}}, which would have been an easy match considering Pikachu's enormous type advantage, due to Pelipper's technique of using {{m|Steel Wing}} to ground electric attacks. It also struggled against [[Crasher Wake's Floatzel]] too.

Pikachu is extremely loyal to Ash, and while it is not always immediately trusting of strangers, it is generally friendly to humans and Pokémon alike. It acted as a guardian and big sibling to [[Misty's Togepi]], and has been seen mediating and even breaking up fights among other Pokémon, such as in ''[[PK01|Pikachu's Vacation]]''. In ''[[Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'', Pikachu, {{MTR}}, and Meowth's clone were the only Pokémon not to participate in the giant battle; Pikachu stood motionless as its clone repeatedly slapped its face.

However, even Pikachu has had exceptions to this rule. During the Hoenn Saga, Pikachu developed amnesia at one point and sided with [[Team Rocket]] for a while. Later within the same series, Pikachu was possessed by the Red Orb and controlled by Groudon, nearly causing a disaster. On several occasions, Pikachu has developed an "electric flu" causing it to become overcharged, and extremely powerful. (A similar incident occured with [[Dawn's Pachirisu]].) During these instances, Pikachu will sometimes attack its friends and Ash. In all of these cases, Pikachu did not intentionally mean harm upon anyone and Pikachu is always extremely sorry for what happened.

Since Ash's first encounter with [[Team Rocket]] in ''[[EP002|Pokémon Emergency!]]'', Pikachu has been pursued by the trio of [[Jessie]], [[James]], and {{MTR}}. Throughout the series, it has been Jessie, James and Meowth's desire to steal this Pokémon from Ash and present it to [[Giovanni|their boss]]. To do this, they have come up with many schemes. Though they try, try, and try some more, every last one of their plots fail, usually with the help of Ash, his friends, other Trainers, an [[Officer Jenny]], or even themselves (such as in the [[DP001|first episode]] of the {{series|Diamond & Pearl}}).

As shown in a handful of episodes, the first being ''[[EP042|Showdown at Dark City]]'', Pikachu has a special fondness for ketchup, but it will eat and enjoy almost any other human or Pokémon food. A running joke in the anime also seems to be the destruction of a female character's [[bike]] with one of Pikachu's {{m|Thunderbolt}}s at the beginning of each series, which then causes her to {{ashfr|follow Ash}} for the remainder of the series. This has happened to [[Misty]], {{an|May}}, and {{an|Dawn}} so far.

Pikachu is the primary mascot of the Pokémon franchise, mostly due to Ash's ownership of it. It appears on nearly all merchandise and promotional material for the series, and became, due to the anime, the [[version mascot]] of and only [[starter Pokémon]] in {{game|Yellow}}.

Pikachu became the second non-legendary Pokémon to defeat a [[legendary Pokémon]] in the anime after {{AP|Charizard}}, beating [[Brandon's Regice]] in ''[[AG190|Pace - The Final Frontier]]'', giving Ash his final [[Symbol|Frontier Symbol]].

Pikachu was also the only Pokémon to come with Ash to [[Hoenn]], and just the same one of only two Pokémon to join Ash on his journey to [[Sinnoh]]. It is worth noting that Ash tried to bring only Pikachu again but {{AP|Aipom}} snuck on board the ship. Up until the capture of [[Dawn's Pachirisu]], Pikachu was the only {{type2|Electric}} Pokémon in the anime owned by a main character.

In Hoenn, Pikachu learned how to surf. It also learned how to box from Ash in ''[[EP029|The Punchy Pokémon]]''.

In Sinnoh, it defeated [[Roark]]'s Onix in the [[Oreburgh Gym]] rematch. Pikachu battled again the [[Pastoria Gym]] battle, where it battled [[Crasher Wake]]'s Gyarados and defeated it with a {{m|Volt Tackle}} to the face. It also battled [[Crasher Wake's Floatzel]] for a moment, allowing [[Ash's Buizel]] a moment to recover. In ''[[DP102|A Shield with a Twist]]'' Pikachu lost to [[Fantina's Drifblim]] after a fierce battle.

[[Image:May'sEgg-cellentAdventure.jpg|thumb||175px|Pikachu using Volt Tackle]]
====Moves improvised====
An attack where Pikachu stored electricity in its tail similar to {{m|Tail Whip}} (although Tail Whip doesn't do any damage) was used to defeat [[Lt. Surge's Raichu]] in ''[[EP014|Electric Shock Showdown]]''

Thunder Armor was a one-time technique in the episode ''[[AG100|Solid as a Solrock]]'', Pikachu is seen using Thunder on itself while riding Ash's Swellow. This increased their attack power greatly, and they easily overpowered their opponents.

Volt Tail was used in ''[[DP074|Pika and Goliath!]]'' against [[Sho]]'s {{p|Raichu}}. This is merely a combination of {{m|Volt Tackle}} and {{m|Iron Tail}}.

Pikachu also used "Counter Shield" when facing Fantina.

==In the games==
Pikachu was one of {{Ash}}'s three Pokémon in {{g|Puzzle League}}. {{ga|Red's Pikachu}} in {{game|Yellow}} and the [[Generation II]] games also seems to be based off of it. The Pikachu in the Super Smash Bros. series may be based on Ash's Pikachu.

==In the manga==
Pikachu has appeared in two mangas based on the anime, namely ''[[Ash & Pikachu]]'' and ''[[Electric Tale of Pikachu]]''. In both, it was Ash's [[starter Pokémon]], much like the [[EP001|first anime episode]], though in ''Electric Tale'', it was found in Ash's house, not given to him by Oak.

==Trivia==
* Ash's Pikachu is the subject of many 'gamebreaking' abilities that normally do not fit in the general stasis of the games. This includes Pikachu's ability to sometimes hurt ground types with Electric moves (sparking the meme "Aim for the Horn!"), and using moves that do not exist, or moves in a way that do not work in the games, such as the infamous "Thunder Armor".
* Pikachu is Ash's only {{type2|Electric}} Pokémon and was the only Electric-type owned by a main character in the anime until the capture of {{TP|Dawn|Pachirisu}} by Dawn.
* For ''[[DP013|A Staravia is Born]]'', [[Professor Oak's lecture]] is about Ash's Pikachu. He writes this [[Pokémon senryū]] about it: パートナー　サトシとピカチュウ　いいかんじ ''Partners Satoshi and Pikachu: a pleasant feeling''.
* Out of all five regions that Ash visited, [[Kanto]] and [[Hoenn]] are the only ones that Ash started out with just Pikachu. He did try to go to [[Sinnoh]] with Pikachu alone but Aipom followed him. At the beginning of each, Pikachu was also, in some way, injured, and ended up destroying the [[bike]] of [[Misty|a]] {{an|May|particular}} {{an|Dawn|girl}} who would later [[Ash's friends|travel with Ash]].
* Pikachu was the first of Ash's Pokémon to disobey him. Other Pokémon that would do so, and be better remembered for their disobedience than Pikachu, are {{AP|Primeape}} and {{AP|Charizard}}.
* Although Pikachu has battled all the members of the {{p|Electabuzz}} evolutionary family at one time or another, ([[Rudy]]'s Electabuzz, [[Gary's Electivire]] and [[Paul's Elekid]]) it has not won even once. However Pikachu has defeated an Electabuzz ([[Dr. Namba]]'s) with the help of [[Sparky]]. On every other occasion, Pikachu fought one-on-one and either tied or lost.
* Ash's act of keeping Pikachu outside its Poké Ball on a permanent basis has been mimicked by several other characters in the anime.
** [[Ritchie]], when he first meets Ash, keeps [[Sparky]] inside of its ball, but later is shown to carry it on his shoulder much like Ash does.
** Dawn, likewise, does the same with her {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}}.
* Pikachu is the second Pokémon in the entire {{pkmn|anime}} series to have managed to defeat a [[legendary Pokémon]], which it did by defeating [[Brandon's Regice]] in ''[[AG190|Pace - The Final Frontier!]]''. [[Ash's Charizard]] was the first Pokémon to have achieved this feat, against {{p|Articuno}}. [[Dawn's Buneary]] has also managed to defeat a {{p|Phione}}.
* Whenever Pikachu faces a Gyarados, up until it learned [[Volt Tackle]], it always finished off the Gyarados by ramming into its face while using [[Thunderbolt]]. This looked similar to Volt Tackle, which was used as a finisher against all Gyarados [[Ash]] faced after Pikachu learned the move.

===Pikachu's language===
[[Image:PikachuDP.png|thumb|right|Pikachu]]
Some of Pikachu's speech is consistent enough that it seems that some phrases actually mean something. For instance, Pikachu always uses "Pikapi" when referring to Ash (notice that it sounds somewhat similar to "Satoshi"). Other speech includes:
*PikaPikachu: ''My name is Pikachu''. When Ash and his friends are introducing themselves to the [[characters of the day]], it says this.
*Pi-Kachu: It says this during the sponsor spots in the original Japanese.
*Pikachu-Pi: ''[[Misty|Kasumi-chan]]'' (Misty)
*Pika-Chu: ''[[Brock|Takeshi]]'' (Brock)
[[image:Pikachu as ash.png|thumb|left|Pikachu Imitating [[Ash]]]]
*PiPiPi: ''{{TP|Misty|Togepi}}'' (Togepi)
*PikakaPika: ''[[Ash's Bulbasaur|Fushigidane]]'' (Bulbasaur)
*PikaPika: ''[[Ash's Squirtle|Zenigame]]'' (Squirtle) or ''[[Ash's Staravia|Mukubird]]'' (Staravia) or ''[[Ash's Chimchar|Hikozaru]]'' (Chimchar)
*PiPikachu: ''[[Team Rocket|Rocket-dan]]'' (Team Rocket). It also says this after Ash wins a badge, catches a new Pokémon or anything similar.
*Pi-ka: Used for multiple things such as "eiga" (movie) as seen during trailers for each upcoming [[Pokémon movie]]. Can also be used for "yes".
*Pi-ka-chu?: ''Are you alright?'': When a character or Pokémon is injured, Pikachu says this.
*Specific names for {{Tracey}}, {{an|May}}, [[Max]], and {{an|Dawn}} have not been heard.
[[File:Pikachu wobbuffet.png|thumb|Pikachu as a {{p|Wobbuffet}}]]
*Chuuu-Pika: ''{{m|Iron Tail}}''. It says this when using {{m|Iron Tail}}.
*Pika-Chuuuuuuuu: ''{{m|Thunderbolt}}''. It says this when using {{m|Thunderbolt}}, "Pika" when charging up and "Chuuuuu" when discharging.
*PikaPikaPika...Pi-ka: ''{{m|Volt Tackle}}''. It says this when using {{m|Volt Tackle}}.
*ChuChuChu...: ''{{m|Quick Attack}}''. It may also say this when using {{m|Agility}}.
*PiPiPiPiPi...: ''{{m|Quick Attack}}''. It may also say this when using {{m|Agility}}.
*Pikachu will occasionally use pantomime to specify what it is talking about. In particular, it has a face to represent {{AP|Turtwig}}. Pikachu can also mime many other Pokémon which it demonstrated during [[DP033|a cosplay competition]].
*Pikachu has also used his face to tell when a character is in Trouble.

===Gender debate===
Pikachu is the most seen Pokémon in the anime and fans have often wondered what gender Pikachu is. While this debate has existed since [[Generation II|gender was introduced]], it recently flared up due to [[gender differences]] being [[Generation IV|introduced in recent games]]. For the sake of neutrality, this article will assume Pikachu's gender is male in the dub only, but unknown until explicitly stated.

*Because there is no indent on Pikachu's tail, many cite this as proof that it is indeed male. Others disagree, noting Pikachu is from [[Kanto]] (which has not yet been shown to have Pikachu with indented tails in the games besides by transferring a Pikachu from {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} to Generation IV through Pal Park), and was introduced during the time of the [[Generation I]] games, before gender itself was even known for any Pokémon.
** Some also cite a crush that [[Dawn's Buneary]], who is female, has on Pikachu as proof.
** Also, Ash has, on several occasions, referred to his Pikachu as his "buddy".
**In the song ''[[Pikachu (I Choose You)]]'', Pikachu is referred to as Ash's brother.
**In ''[[DP061|Team Shocker!]]'', {{TP|Dawn|Pachirisu}}, {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}} and {{TP|Dawn|Buneary}} are cheering for Dawn in cheerleader outfit, while Pikachu is wearing a male kimono. This may suggest Pachirisu, Piplup and Buneary are female, while Pikachu is male.
**In ''[[DP062|Tanks for the Memories!]]'', it, {{AP|Turtwig}}, and {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}} also look embarrassed being in maid outfits, much like Ash himself is, which may indicate that Pikachu, Turtwig, and Piplup are male.
**In the episode ''[[EP052|Princess vs. Princess]]'' Pikachu is carrying the shopping packages with Ash and Brock due to the Princess Festival rules, it may symbolize that he is a male too.
**In Latin America, the pronoun used to refer to Pikachu is 'he'.
**In the episode ''[[DP039|Steamboat Willies!]]'', Pikachu isn't in a dress along with the confirmed female Pokémon, but in the band with the confirmed male Ash's Buizel and the unconfirmed Pokémon.
**In the movie ''[[Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]'', after Pikachu dressed up in a clown suit, May asks to the rest of the gang "Doesn't ''he'' look cute?" This is only confirmed in the dub at this point.
**In [[EP005|Showdown at Pewter City]], Brock explicitly calls Pikachu "He".
**In the Dutch and German dubs Ash calls Pikachu a boy.
There is also some evidence supporting the theory that Pikachu might be female.
* Gender differences don't seem to apply consistently to Pokémon caught outside [[Sinnoh]].
** Misty has on at least one occasion pictured Pikachu in dresses.
** [[Dawn's Buneary]]'s relation with Pikachu is one sided, meaning the Buneary might not know Pikachu's gender.
** [[Ash's Bayleef]]'s extreme rivalry with Pikachu for Ash might point to Pikachu being female too.

'''Ash's Pikachu''' (Japanese: '''サトシのピカチュウ''' ''Satoshi's Pikachu'') was the [[starter Pokémon|first Pokémon]] obtained by {{Ash}} on his journey as a [[Pokémon Trainer]]. Its universal voice actress is ''[[Ikue Ohtani]]''. However, in some episodes during the first season of the English dub, [[Rachael Lillis]] provided its voice when the original Japanese track couldn't be saved.

==In the anime==
===History===
[[Image:Ash'sHatAG.jpg|left|thumb|{{Ash}} and Pikachu]]
In the first episode of the [[Pokémon anime]], ''[[EP001|Pokémon - I Choose You!]]'', Ash woke up late the day he was supposed to go to [[Professor Oak]]'s laboratory to obtain his first Pokémon. When he arrived at the lab, the three available starter Pokémon, {{p|Bulbasaur}}, {{p|Charmander}}, and {{p|Squirtle}} had already been taken by other trainers who arrived earlier. Seeing that Ash was disappointed, Professor Oak gave him Pikachu, which did not take a liking to its new trainer. It refused to go into a [[Poké Ball]], and when Ash failed to catch a wild Pokémon, it laughed at him. However, by the end of the episode, Ash gained Pikachu's trust by protecting it from an attack by a flock of {{p|Spearow}} and rushing it to the [[Pokémon Center]]. Pikachu and Ash soon became inseparable. In ''[[EP039|Pikachu's Goodbye]]'', Ash gave Pikachu his consent to remain in a forest filled with Pikachu, but Pikachu returned to Ash's side.

In general, Pikachu as a species are not particularly powerful, but Ash's Pikachu is an anomaly, overcoming odds in {{pkmn|battle}} numerous times. In ''[[EP005|Showdown in Pewter City]]'', it defeated [[Brock's Onix]] with an {{type2|Electric}} attack that triggered the sprinkler system causing Onix to be drenched in water, one of its weaknesses. In ''[[EP014|Electric Shock Showdown]]'', Pikachu fought [[Lt. Surge]]'s {{TP|Lt. Surge|Raichu}} and lost. During a resulting hospital stay, it refused to become Raichu's equal by evolving via a {{evostone|Thunderstone}}, and in the second battle, Pikachu overcame Raichu by using its superior speed. In ''[[EP002|Pokémon Emergency!]]'', {{MTR}} remarked that Pikachu's power "far exceeds its evolutionary level." Ash's Pikachu has also defeated very high level Pokémon that Ash's other Pokémon were unable to, such as {{p|Dragonite}} and {{p|Metagross}}. It has helped Ash win innumerable battles and [[Gym]] and {{pkmn|League}} matches.

However, at times, {{p|Pikachu}} has lived up to its species' frail and brittle strengths, particularly in Gym battles where it was defeated with relative ease by its opponent; for example, it was overpowered very easily by [[Lt. Surge's Raichu]] (in their first battle), [[Sabrina's Kadabra]], [[Blaine's Magmar]] (Thanks to its use of the 'Air Lens' technique, which heated the air around Magmar to deflect electric attacks), [[Falkner's Pidgeot]] (Having already defeated his {{p|Hoothoot}} and {{p|Dodrio}}), [[Bugsy's Scyther]] (after already battling his {{p|Metapod}}), [[Whitney's Miltank]] (Defeating it in the rematch thanks to Ash's strategy and it being worn down by {{AP|Cyndaquil}} and {{AP|Totodile}}), [[Clair's Dragonair]], [[Roark's Rampardos]] ''and'' [[Fantina's Drifblim]]. It also drew against [[Winona]]'s {{p|Pelipper}}, which would have been an easy match considering Pikachu's enormous type advantage, due to Pelipper's technique of using {{m|Steel Wing}} to ground electric attacks. It also struggled against [[Crasher Wake's Floatzel]] too.

Pikachu is extremely loyal to Ash, and while it is not always immediately trusting of strangers, it is generally friendly to humans and Pokémon alike. It acted as a guardian and big sibling to [[Misty's Togepi]], and has been seen mediating and even breaking up fights among other Pokémon, such as in ''[[PK01|Pikachu's Vacation]]''. In ''[[Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'', Pikachu, {{MTR}}, and Meowth's clone were the only Pokémon not to participate in the giant battle; Pikachu stood motionless as its clone repeatedly slapped its face.

However, even Pikachu has had exceptions to this rule. During the Hoenn Saga, Pikachu developed amnesia at one point and sided with [[Team Rocket]] for a while. Later within the same series, Pikachu was possessed by the Red Orb and controlled by Groudon, nearly causing a disaster. On several occasions, Pikachu has developed an "electric flu" causing it to become overcharged, and extremely powerful. (A similar incident occured with [[Dawn's Pachirisu]].) During these instances, Pikachu will sometimes attack its friends and Ash. In all of these cases, Pikachu did not intentionally mean harm upon anyone and Pikachu is always extremely sorry for what happened.

Since Ash's first encounter with [[Team Rocket]] in ''[[EP002|Pokémon Emergency!]]'', Pikachu has been pursued by the trio of [[Jessie]], [[James]], and {{MTR}}. Throughout the series, it has been Jessie, James and Meowth's desire to steal this Pokémon from Ash and present it to [[Giovanni|their boss]]. To do this, they have come up with many schemes. Though they try, try, and try some more, every last one of their plots fail, usually with the help of Ash, his friends, other Trainers, an [[Officer Jenny]], or even themselves (such as in the [[DP001|first episode]] of the {{series|Diamond & Pearl}}).

As shown in a handful of episodes, the first being ''[[EP042|Showdown at Dark City]]'', Pikachu has a special fondness for ketchup, but it will eat and enjoy almost any other human or Pokémon food. A running joke in the anime also seems to be the destruction of a female character's [[bike]] with one of Pikachu's {{m|Thunderbolt}}s at the beginning of each series, which then causes her to {{ashfr|follow Ash}} for the remainder of the series. This has happened to [[Misty]], {{an|May}}, and {{an|Dawn}} so far.

Pikachu is the primary mascot of the Pokémon franchise, mostly due to Ash's ownership of it. It appears on nearly all merchandise and promotional material for the series, and became, due to the anime, the [[version mascot]] of and only [[starter Pokémon]] in {{game|Yellow}}.

Pikachu became the second non-legendary Pokémon to defeat a [[legendary Pokémon]] in the anime after {{AP|Charizard}}, beating [[Brandon's Regice]] in ''[[AG190|Pace - The Final Frontier]]'', giving Ash his final [[Symbol|Frontier Symbol]].

Pikachu was also the only Pokémon to come with Ash to [[Hoenn]], and just the same one of only two Pokémon to join Ash on his journey to [[Sinnoh]]. It is worth noting that Ash tried to bring only Pikachu again but {{AP|Aipom}} snuck on board the ship. Up until the capture of [[Dawn's Pachirisu]], Pikachu was the only {{type2|Electric}} Pokémon in the anime owned by a main character.

In Hoenn, Pikachu learned how to surf. It also learned how to box from Ash in ''[[EP029|The Punchy Pokémon]]''.

In Sinnoh, it defeated [[Roark]]'s Onix in the [[Oreburgh Gym]] rematch. Pikachu battled again the [[Pastoria Gym]] battle, where it battled [[Crasher Wake]]'s Gyarados and defeated it with a {{m|Volt Tackle}} to the face. It also battled [[Crasher Wake's Floatzel]] for a moment, allowing [[Ash's Buizel]] a moment to recover. In ''[[DP102|A Shield with a Twist]]'' Pikachu lost to [[Fantina's Drifblim]] after a fierce battle.

[[Image:May'sEgg-cellentAdventure.jpg|thumb||175px|Pikachu using Volt Tackle]]
====Moves improvised====
An attack where Pikachu stored electricity in its tail similar to {{m|Tail Whip}} (although Tail Whip doesn't do any damage) was used to defeat [[Lt. Surge's Raichu]] in ''[[EP014|Electric Shock Showdown]]''

Thunder Armor was a one-time technique in the episode ''[[AG100|Solid as a Solrock]]'', Pikachu is seen using Thunder on itself while riding Ash's Swellow. This increased their attack power greatly, and they easily overpowered their opponents.

Volt Tail was used in ''[[DP074|Pika and Goliath!]]'' against [[Sho]]'s {{p|Raichu}}. This is merely a combination of {{m|Volt Tackle}} and {{m|Iron Tail}}.

Pikachu also used "Counter Shield" when facing Fantina.

==In the games==
Pikachu was one of {{Ash}}'s three Pokémon in {{g|Puzzle League}}. {{ga|Red's Pikachu}} in {{game|Yellow}} and the [[Generation II]] games also seems to be based off of it. The Pikachu in the Super Smash Bros. series may be based on Ash's Pikachu.

==In the manga==
Pikachu has appeared in two mangas based on the anime, namely ''[[Ash & Pikachu]]'' and ''[[Electric Tale of Pikachu]]''. In both, it was Ash's [[starter Pokémon]], much like the [[EP001|first anime episode]], though in ''Electric Tale'', it was found in Ash's house, not given to him by Oak.

==Trivia==
* Ash's Pikachu is the subject of many 'gamebreaking' abilities that normally do not fit in the general stasis of the games. This includes Pikachu's ability to sometimes hurt ground types with Electric moves (sparking the meme "Aim for the Horn!"), and using moves that do not exist, or moves in a way that do not work in the games, such as the infamous "Thunder Armor".
* Pikachu is Ash's only {{type2|Electric}} Pokémon and was the only Electric-type owned by a main character in the anime until the capture of {{TP|Dawn|Pachirisu}} by Dawn.
* For ''[[DP013|A Staravia is Born]]'', [[Professor Oak's lecture]] is about Ash's Pikachu. He writes this [[Pokémon senryū]] about it: パートナー　サトシとピカチュウ　いいかんじ ''Partners Satoshi and Pikachu: a pleasant feeling''.
* Out of all five regions that Ash visited, [[Kanto]] and [[Hoenn]] are the only ones that Ash started out with just Pikachu. He did try to go to [[Sinnoh]] with Pikachu alone but Aipom followed him. At the beginning of each, Pikachu was also, in some way, injured, and ended up destroying the [[bike]] of [[Misty|a]] {{an|May|particular}} {{an|Dawn|girl}} who would later [[Ash's friends|travel with Ash]].
* Pikachu was the first of Ash's Pokémon to disobey him. Other Pokémon that would do so, and be better remembered for their disobedience than Pikachu, are {{AP|Primeape}} and {{AP|Charizard}}.
* Although Pikachu has battled all the members of the {{p|Electabuzz}} evolutionary family at one time or another, ([[Rudy]]'s Electabuzz, [[Gary's Electivire]] and [[Paul's Elekid]]) it has not won even once. However Pikachu has defeated an Electabuzz ([[Dr. Namba]]'s) with the help of [[Sparky]]. On every other occasion, Pikachu fought one-on-one and either tied or lost.
* Ash's act of keeping Pikachu outside its Poké Ball on a permanent basis has been mimicked by several other characters in the anime.
** [[Ritchie]], when he first meets Ash, keeps [[Sparky]] inside of its ball, but later is shown to carry it on his shoulder much like Ash does.
** Dawn, likewise, does the same with her {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}}.
* Pikachu is the second Pokémon in the entire {{pkmn|anime}} series to have managed to defeat a [[legendary Pokémon]], which it did by defeating [[Brandon's Regice]] in ''[[AG190|Pace - The Final Frontier!]]''. [[Ash's Charizard]] was the first Pokémon to have achieved this feat, against {{p|Articuno}}. [[Dawn's Buneary]] has also managed to defeat a {{p|Phione}}.

===Pikachu's language===
[[Image:PikachuDP.png|thumb|right|Pikachu]]
Some of Pikachu's speech is consistent enough that it seems that some phrases actually mean something. For instance, Pikachu always uses "Pikapi" when referring to Ash (notice that it sounds somewhat similar to "Satoshi"). Other speech includes:
*PikaPikachu: ''My name is Pikachu''. When Ash and his friends are introducing themselves to the [[characters of the day]], it says this.
*Pi-Kachu: It says this during the sponsor spots in the original Japanese.
*Pikachu-Pi: ''[[Misty|Kasumi-chan]]'' (Misty)
*Pika-Chu: ''[[Brock|Takeshi]]'' (Brock)
[[image:Pikachu as ash.png|thumb|left|Pikachu Imitating [[Ash]]]]
*PiPiPi: ''{{TP|Misty|Togepi}}'' (Togepi)
*PikakaPika: ''[[Ash's Bulbasaur|Fushigidane]]'' (Bulbasaur)
*PikaPika: ''[[Ash's Squirtle|Zenigame]]'' (Squirtle) or ''[[Ash's Staravia|Mukubird]]'' (Staravia) or ''[[Ash's Chimchar|Hikozaru]]'' (Chimchar)
*PiPikachu: ''[[Team Rocket|Rocket-dan]]'' (Team Rocket). It also says this after Ash wins a badge, catches a new Pokémon or anything similar.
*Pi-ka: Used for multiple things such as "eiga" (movie) as seen during trailers for each upcoming [[Pokémon movie]]. Can also be used for "yes".
*Pi-ka-chu?: ''Are you alright?'': When a character or Pokémon is injured, Pikachu says this.
*Specific names for {{Tracey}}, {{an|May}}, [[Max]], and {{an|Dawn}} have not been heard.
[[File:Pikachu wobbuffet.png|thumb|Pikachu as a {{p|Wobbuffet}}]]
*Chuuu-Pika: ''{{m|Iron Tail}}''. It says this when using {{m|Iron Tail}}.
*Pika-Chuuuuuuuu: ''{{m|Thunderbolt}}''. It says this when using {{m|Thunderbolt}}, "Pika" when charging up and "Chuuuuu" when discharging.
*PikaPikaPika...Pi-ka: ''{{m|Volt Tackle}}''. It says this when using {{m|Volt Tackle}}.
*ChuChuChu...: ''{{m|Quick Attack}}''. It may also say this when using {{m|Agility}}.
*PiPiPiPiPi...: ''{{m|Quick Attack}}''. It may also say this when using {{m|Agility}}.
*Pikachu will occasionally use pantomime to specify what it is talking about. In particular, it has a face to represent {{AP|Turtwig}}. Pikachu can also mime many other Pokémon which it demonstrated during [[DP033|a cosplay competition]].
*Pikachu has also used his face to tell when a character is in Trouble.

===Gender debate===
Pikachu is the most seen Pokémon in the anime and fans have often wondered what gender Pikachu is. While this debate has existed since [[Generation II|gender was introduced]], it recently flared up due to [[gender differences]] being [[Generation IV|introduced in recent games]]. For the sake of neutrality, this article will assume Pikachu's gender is male in the dub only, but unknown until explicitly stated.

*Because there is no indent on Pikachu's tail, many cite this as proof that it is indeed male. Others disagree, noting Pikachu is from [[Kanto]] (which has not yet been shown to have Pikachu with indented tails in the games besides by transferring a Pikachu from {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} to Generation IV through Pal Park), and was introduced during the time of the [[Generation I]] games, before gender itself was even known for any Pokémon.
** Some also cite a crush that [[Dawn's Buneary]], who is female, has on Pikachu as proof.
** Also, Ash has, on several occasions, referred to his Pikachu as his "buddy".
**In the song ''[[Pikachu (I Choose You)]]'', Pikachu is referred to as Ash's brother.
**In ''[[DP061|Team Shocker!]]'', {{TP|Dawn|Pachirisu}}, {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}} and {{TP|Dawn|Buneary}} are cheering for Dawn in cheerleader outfit, while Pikachu is wearing a male kimono. This may suggest Pachirisu, Piplup and Buneary are female, while Pikachu is male.
**In ''[[DP062|Tanks for the Memories!]]'', it, {{AP|Turtwig}}, and {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}} also look embarrassed being in maid outfits, much like Ash himself is, which may indicate that Pikachu, Turtwig, and Piplup are male.
**In the episode ''[[EP052|Princess vs. Princess]]'' Pikachu is carrying the shopping packages with Ash and Brock due to the Princess Festival rules, it may symbolize that he is a male too.
**In Latin America, the pronoun used to refer to Pikachu is 'he'.
**In the episode ''[[DP039|Steamboat Willies!]]'', Pikachu isn't in a dress along with the confirmed female Pokémon, but in the band with the confirmed male Ash's Buizel and the unconfirmed Pokémon.
**In the movie ''[[Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]'', after Pikachu dressed up in a clown suit, May asks to the rest of the gang "Doesn't ''he'' look cute?" This is only confirmed in the dub at this point.
**In [[EP005|Showdown at Pewter City]], Brock explicitly calls Pikachu "He".
**In the Dutch and German dubs Ash calls Pikachu a boy.
There is also some evidence supporting the theory that Pikachu might be female.
* Gender differences don't seem to apply consistently to Pokémon caught outside [[Sinnoh]].
** Misty has on at least one occasion pictured Pikachu in dresses.
** [[Dawn's Buneary]]'s relation with Pikachu is one sided, meaning the Buneary might not know Pikachu's gender.
** [[Ash's Bayleef]]'s extreme rivalry with Pikachu for Ash might point to Pikachu being female too.

'''Jessie''' (Japanese: '''ムサシ''' ''Musashi'') is one member of of the [[Team Rocket]] trio also consisting of [[James]] and {{MTR}}, that follows around {{Ash}} and {{ashfr|friends}} in the [[Pokémon anime]], usually trying to steal [[Ash's Pikachu]], but always failing.

==In the anime==
===Character===
[[Image:currentjessie.jpg|left|thumb|220px|Jessie in the anime]]
Jessie's mother, [[Miyamoto]], was a high-ranking Team Rocket agent. When Jessie was around the age of three, Miyamoto left on a mission to the {{wp|Andes}} to record the voice of the elusive Pokémon {{p|Mew}}. However, after Miyamoto disappeared, and Jessie was put into a foster home which had very little money. There were times when she had no choice but to eat snow because of a lack of more nourishing food.

When she was old enough, she left home to become a Pokémon nurse in [[Johto]]. However, the school she was enrolled in was literally for ''Pokémon'' nurses (i.e. {{p|Chansey}}), so she failed to graduate and left, leaving behind a Chansey she had befriended there. It is assumed that she then traveled back to [[Kanto]], where she enrolled in [[Pokémon Tech]], a trainer's school, met [[James]], and subsequently failed and dropped out. After this, Jessie and James joined a bicycle gang in Sunny Town, where Jessie was known for swinging a chain above her head as she rode her bike (nicknamed "Chainer Jess").
 
Due to conflicts in canon between Kanto and Johto episodes and the special episode ''[[H012|Training Daze]]'', what happened between Jessie and James after the bike gang is unknown. What ''is'' known, as shown in the special episode, is that they joined Team Rocket separately and were on initially unfriendly terms after being grouped with {{MTR}}. However, they quickly made up and the rest is history.

Sometime before joining Team Rocket, and it is not known when, Jessie obtained a [[Contest Pass]] in the [[Hoenn]] region. Also during the years before Team Rocket, she had several boyfriends, all of whom left her and/or treated her badly. In ''[[EP234|Xatu the Future]]'', she revealed that she had once worked at a T.V. station as the Weathergirl. In ''[[AG156|From Cradle to Save]]'' is also revealed that she once was a ninja.

She has a long-standing bitter rivalry with [[Cassidy]], another member of Team Rocket. Another member, {{an|Wendy}}, held a grudge against Jessie for failing to pay for a drink (making Wendy pay), but got her revenge when she added the charge to Jessie's overall Team Rocket bill.
[[File:Jessie hair.png|thumb|Jessie beat up her Seviper for doing that to her hair|220px]]
In the episode ''[[EP129|Ignorance is Blissey]]'', Jessie was reunited with her friend {{TP|Nurse Joy|Chansey}} from the Pokémon nurse school; Chansey had since evolved into a {{p|Blissey}}.

Starting in [[Hoenn]], Jessie has become a [[Pokémon Coordinator]], entering every contest that she could. She frequently makes it to the battle round, but usually loses there. However, in ''[[DP022|Borrowing on Bad Faith]]'', she finally succeeded in winning an (unofficial) contest by using [[Ash's Aipom]], which she had saved earlier in the episode. And, in ''[[DP061|Team Shocker!]]'', she finally wins an official contest with her Dustox in at [[Solaceon City]]. Later in ''[[DP102|A Shield with a Twist]]'' she also won a ribbon with help of her Yanmega. She has [[Contest Pass]]es to compete in the Hoenn, Kanto, and Sinnoh regions.

Jessie seems to have a special preference for snake-like [[Pokémon]], owning both an {{TP|Jessie|Arbok}} and a {{TP|Jessie|Seviper}}. In ''[[EP032|The Ninja Poké Showdown]]'', she expressed a preference for {{type2|Poison}} Pokémon in general.

Jessie values her hair a lot. She get really angry whenever it gets damaged or bitten, such as in ''[[EP117|Don't Touch That 'dile!]]'' and ''[[AG008|A Tail with a Twist]]''. When this happens, she may do things like beat up a [[Jessie's Seviper|Pokémon]].

For unknown reasons, she, James and Meowth mostly use [[Transportation in Pokémon|hot air balloons]] instead of faster ways of transportation.

In the Kanto contests, Jessie [[List of Team Rocket's disguises|disguises]] herself as ''Jessebella'' (which is similar to James former fiancee [[Jessiebelle]]) wearing a red dress and glasses. Eventually, Ash, Brock, Max and May finds out her true identity at the last contest.
[[File:Jessalina.png|thumb|left|220px|Jessie disguised as ''Jessalina'']]
During the [[Kanto Grand Festival]], Jessie dresses up as ''Jessadia'' and wears glasses, long white socks, a yellow and orange dress, and has her hair in pigtails. She works there as an announcer and [[Lilian Meridian]]'s assistant; Lilian herself says she may not really like "Jessadia"'s style, but recognizes her talent.

In Sinnoh {{pkmn|Super Contest}}s, Jessie disguises herself as ''Jessalina'' (Japanese: '''キャンディ・ムサリーナ''' ''Candy Musalina''), using big glasses and an orange dress. She is notable for the fact that, in the appeals round of a contest, Jessie tends to use her Pokémon to show herself off, rather than showing them off. In the Latin American dub, she enters Super Contests under the name Jessiebella (referencing Jessiebelle again).

In ''[[DP078|Pruning a Passel of Pals!]]'' and ''[[DP079|Strategy With a Smile!]]'' she once again used her Jessadia disguise to report on the [[Wallace Cup]].

Although Jessie had entered mostly every contest in Hoenn & Kanto, she lost in every single one, whether it was the first match of the Battle Rounds or the finals. But in the Sinnoh Region, she has so far won 2 ribbons using her Dustox and Yanmega.

===Pokémon===
As with the standards set by the Team Rocket organization, Jessie initially started off with mainly {{type2|Poison}}s. However, as the anime continued onward, her team has diversified. However, she is still strongly associated with poison-type serpentine Pokémon, such as Arbok and Seviper. Most of her other Pokémon tend to be unusual in appearance and don't usually fit the general image of "cute". However, she does display a desire to obtain Pokémon that are considered "adorable" when the opportunity presents itself, especially feminine Pokémon such as {{p|Happiny}} or {{p|Smoochum}}. Occasionally, she manages to take control of some powerful Pokémon, but due to either inexperience or hubris, this often backfires and loses control of them. She doesn't appear to train her Pokémon that often. Instead, they are often used to fight against Ash and his friends. When she enters contests, she tends to involve herself in her Pokémon's appeals.

==In the games==
==={{game|Yellow}}===
Both Jessie and James appear in Pokémon Yellow as in-game bosses. They first attack the main character in [[Mt. Moon]], while trying to take one of the rare [[fossil]]s uncovered there.

Later, in [[Celadon City]]'s [[Rocket Game Corner]], Jessie and James guard Giovanni's room in the Team Rocket base. During that time, as the player runs into them, they are eager for revenge after the main character busted up their plans at Mt. Moon.

They hold Mr. Fuji hostage at [[Pokémon Tower]]. They attack the {{ga|Red|main character}} on the seventh floor.

Finally, at [[Silph Co.]] in [[Saffron City]], Jessie and James make their final appearance, once again trying to stall the main character from reaching [[Giovanni|their Boss]].

Unlike in the anime, Jessie and James do not follow the main character around and come up with their usual evil plans to capture Pikachu.

===Pokémon Puzzle League===
Along with many other anime characters, both Jessie and James appeared in [[Pokémon Puzzle League]].

==In the TCG==
Jessie and James appear on both versions of the card {{TCG ID|Team Rocket|Here Comes Team Rocket!|15}}, which originally released in the {{TCG|Team Rocket}} set; it was re-released with different artwork in {{TCG|EX Team Rocket Returns}}. In that expansion, there was also a preconstructed [[Theme Deck]] based on {{TCG|Jessie}}.

==In the manga==
===[[Electric Tale of Pikachu]]===
Jessie and James both made an appearance in the [[Electric Tale of Pikachu]] {{pkmn|manga}}, which was based off of the anime.

While Jessie's role in the Pokémon anime has not yet ended, in this manga, she ended up {{s|RocketShipping|married to James}} and having a baby on the way.

==Trivia==
* Both Jessie and [[James]] have used a {{p|Charizard}} at separate times. They used a third one together as well. None of the three remained in their care, however.
[[Image:Jessie's_Lure.jpg‎|Jessie's special lure|thumb]]
* In Sinnoh, she dressed up as a cowgirl and she was called Catherine Jessieburn. This is a direct reference to Hollywood actress {{wp|Katharine Hepburn}}.
* Jessie is currently the only member of the anime's main cast who is traveling with a Pokémon not in the extended Sinnoh Dex. In fact, she has two; {{TP|Jessie|Wobbuffet}} and {{TP|Jessie|Seviper}}.
* Much like [[Misty's special lure|Misty's]], Jessie also has a special lure being modeled after her, like seen in ''[[EP168|Hook, Line, and Stinker]]''.
* In ''[[AG093|Clamperl of Wisdom!]]'', Jessie had {{wp|sinusitis}}.
* In the main series games, Jessie and [[James]] are the only characters from [[Generation I]] to appear only in that generation, as they do not reappear in [[Generation II]] when [[Kanto]] is revisited, and (being exclusive to [[Pokémon Yellow Version|Pokémon Yellow]]) were not adapted into the [[Pokémon_FireRed_and_LeafGreen_Versions|FireRed and LeafGreen]] remakes.
* Jesse is currently the only character in the entire series to have used an attack, using both [[Fury Swipes]] and [[Mega Kick]] to weaken Seviper before catching it.

===Name origin===
Jessie's English name is taken from {{wp|Jesse James}}, an American outlaw. Her Japanese name, Musashi, is taken from 宮本武蔵 ''{{wp|Miyamoto Musashi}}'', a famous Japanese swordsman. In his most famous duel, he defeated his rival, 佐々木小次郎 ''{{wp|Sasaki Kojirō}}'', after whom James got his Japanese name. However, one can argue that she is also named after the Japanese battleship {{wp|Musashi}}, as her rival [[Cassidy]]'s Japanese name is based off of the Japanese battleship {{wp|Yamato}}.

She is based on a combination of [[Takeshi Shudō]]'s old girlfriend from when he was in school and the female antagonist of the ''[http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=1472 Time Bokan]'' anime series.

'''Ash's Gliscor''' (Japanese: '''サトシのグライオン''' ''Satoshi's Glion'') is the fourth Pokémon {{pkmn2|captured}} by [[Ash Ketchum]] in the [[Sinnoh]] region. Its Japanese voice actor is 小西克幸 ''[[Katsuyuki Konishi]]'' and its English voice actor is [[Marc Thompson]]. As a Gligar, it was voiced by ''Katsuyuki Konishi'' in both Japanese and English.

==History==
Ash caught Gliscor as a Gligar in ''[[DP064|Riding the Winds of Change!]]'' It, along with many other {{p|Gligar}} and a {{TP|Paul|Gliscor}} had become trapped in a city after being blown there by a violent windstorm. Gliscor's attempts at using sonar to navigate out of the city were blocked by the tall buildings, and only served to attract more Gligar and the Pokémon soon formed a pack.
[[Image:Ash's Gligar 2.jpg|thumb|183px|left|As a Gligar]]
The pack survived by picking fruit from trees, and stealing food from humans. After Ash and his friends helped the pack, {{p|Gligar}} decided to travel with Ash, allowing him to capture it.

Gligar seems to have a habit of sticking out its tongue and winking when appearing. It also has the tendency to crash land on top of Ash due to its inability to glide properly. It would also cry when scolded by Ash as shown in ''[[DP081|Chim - Charred! ]]'' and ''[[DP085|Fighting Fear With Fear!]]''. Not only that, Gligar seems to be a crybaby of sorts, tearing up very often, especially in fear. Additionally, Gligar seems to be extremely eager to win Ash's attention and approval.

It evolved into a Gliscor in ''[[DP085|Fighting Fear With Fear!]]'' in order to save Ash from a fall. It used the {{DL|Evolution-inducing held item|Razor Fang}} Ash received from {{Gary}} after Gligar had a practice battle with {{TP|Gary|his Umbreon|Umbreon}}. It appears to have kept its personality traits even after evolution, as it still cries when scolded by Ash and also winks and sticks its tongue out.

Since evolution, Gliscor has been used in more battles. In ''[[DP100|Aiding the Enemy]]'', Gliscor was used as a sparring partner by {{TP|Paul|Torterra}} to help illustrate how {{AP|Grotle}} could deal with its reduced speed. In [[DP101]], Gliscor battled {{an|Jun}}'s {{p|Roserade}} and the battle ended in a tie, with both Pokémon knocking each other out at the same time. In [[DP106]], Gliscor learned {{m|Fire Fang}} after being hit by an {{m|Ice Shard}} from {{TP|Dawn|Piloswine|Mamoswine}}, and is revealed to have learned {{m|Screech}} some time off-screen. In [[DP108]] it was used in its first gym battle, against [[Byron]], defeating his {{TP|Byron|Bastiodon}}.

==Moves used==
[[Image:AshGliscorXScissor.jpg|right|thumb|215px|Ash's Gliscor using {{m|X-Scissor}}]]
* {{m|X-Scissor}}
* {{m|Sand-Attack}}
* {{m|Steel Wing}}
* {{m|Screech}}
* {{m|Fire Fang}}

==Trivia==
* Ash's capture of Gligar brought another {{cat|Generation II Pokémon}} to the protagonists in the [[Diamond & Pearl series]], the others being {{TP|Dawn|Aipom}} and {{TP|Brock|Sudowoodo}}. Gligar has since evolved into Gliscor, a {{cat|Generation IV Pokémon}}.
* Gliscor and [[Dawn's Mamoswine]] are the only Pokémon in the party of Ash and his friends that aren't in the original [[Sinnoh Pokédex]]. [[Jessie]], however, has {{TP|Jessie|Seviper}}, {{TP|Jessie|Wobbuffet}} and {{TP|Jessie|Yanmega}}.
* Gligar's means of capture was similar to [[Ash's Squirtle]], in that it was part of a group of Pokémon of its species causing trouble for a town, joined because it wanted to go with Ash, filled Ash's [[party]] with six members, and was captured shortly before Ash met up with the region's third [[Gym Leader]].
* Gligar appeared on {{rt|215}}, a route where it is possible to catch Gligar via the [[Dual-slot mode|dongle method]] using {{game|Emerald}}.
* Gligar was the fourth Pokémon caught by Ash to debut with no revealed attacks, after {{AP|Krabby}}, {{AP|Muk}}, and {{AP|Tauros}}. Its battle debut wasn't until ''[[DP070|The Bells are Singing!]]'', revealing three attacks at once.
* In [[DP068]], [[Professor Oak's lecture]] is about Ash's Gligar.
* ''[[DP085|Fighting Fear With Fear!]]'', the episode in which Gligar evolved into Gliscor, first aired in Japan on the Thursday of the same week that the dub of ''[[DP064|Riding the Winds of Change]]'', the episode in which Gligar is captured, first aired in the United States. The same thing happened to [[Dawn's Piloswine]].
* Gliscor is Ash's only Pokémon and the third of a main character's Pokémon to evolve via an item ({{DL|Evolution-inducing held item|Razor Fang}}). The first one was [[Misty's Politoed]] ({{DL|Evolution-inducing held item|King's Rock}}) and the second was [[Brock's Ludicolo]] ({{evostone|Water Stone}}). Coincidentally, all these Pokémon evolved with items that belonged to someone else, and the Pokémon belong to the anime's original three protagonists. In addition, each happened one series apart from one another (Original, Advance Generation, and Diamond and Pearl, respectively.)
[[Image:AshridingGliscor.jpg|220px|Gliscor carrying Ash and {{AP|Pikachu}}|thumb|right]]
* Gliscor now shares a trait with {{AP|Glalie}} as the Pokémon that filled up Ash's sixth party slot in [[Hoenn]] and Sinnoh, respectively, and evolving soon after.
* Ash's Gliscor is smaller than [[Paul's Gliscor]], a relationship similar to that which [[Ash's Krabby]] shared with a {{p|Krabby}} that another [[Gary Oak|rival]] of Ash's caught.
*Gliscor is the only one in Ash's current team who can have more than one ability, which is still currently unknown.
*Similar to {{AP|Corphish}}, Gliscor mostly functions as the comedic relief on Ash's team (i.e. crash landing, getting left behind by [[Brock]], bouncing around on its tail, etc.), although {{AP|Staravia|Staraptor}} shares this role at times.
* Two of Ash's rivals have had one of Gligar's evolution stages. [[Morrison]] has a {{p|Gligar}}, while Paul has a [[Paul's Gliscor|Gliscor]].
* In ''[[DP085|Fighting Fear With Fear!]]'', it is revealed that Gliscor was afraid of heights as a Gligar.
===Similarities to Ash's other Pokémon===
* Gliscor appears to show behavior that is like [[Ash's Bayleef]] and {{TP|Dawn|Aipom|Ambipom}}. This is shown in ''[[DP070|The Bells are Singing!]]'' when Gligar hugs Ash.
** In ''[[DP075|Our Cup Runneth Over!]]'', Gligar appeared to be blushing just moments before it tackled Ash to the floor; why it did so is unclear, but may be further evidence that it might be female, or evidence it may just be young and affectionate, as seen several times, even as a Gliscor, as it cries a lot.
** Further, in ''[[DP081|Chim - Charred!]]'' Gligar repeatedly goes to Ash for hugs and affection. Gligar listens very intently and contemplatively to Ash's encouragement, seeming to drink in his every word, and is even startled when the other Pokémon encourage it. This behavior is also calls to mind [[Ash's Bayleef]] and [[Dawn's Ambipom|Ash's Aipom]], both of whom showed interest in Ash and are both female Pokémon. Also, the three Pokémon have English names which are also similar to their respective Japanese names, and each has evolved once.
** Yet another parallel between the three Pokémon is that they each evolved to save their trainers from danger; Chikorita evolved into Bayleef to save Ash, Aipom evolved into Ambipom to save Dawn, while Gligar evolved into Gliscor to save Ash.
** Another interesting relationship to note of is that these three Pokémon have run away from Ash (due to a conflict between them) at various points of time (Bayleef did so in ''[[EP200|Turning Over a New Bayleef]]'', Aipom did so in ''[[AG183|Aipom and Circumstance]]'', while Gliscor did so in ''[[DP085|Fighting Fear With Fear!]]'', when it was still a Gligar), but they patch things up with him pretty quickly, usually strengthening their bond at the end of the episode.

'''Ash's Lapras''' (Japanese: '''サトシのラプラス''' ''Satoshi's Laplace'') was the first Pokémon obtained by [[Ash Ketchum]] in the [[Orange Islands]]. It had been separated from its family, so Ash promised to reunite them. It served as the main transportation through the islands until its family was found on the way back to [[Pallet Town]]. Its voice actress in both Japanese and English is 愛河里花子 ''[[Rikako Aikawa]]''.

==History==
Ash first met Lapras on [[Tangelo Island]] when he and {{ashfr|his friends}} saw it being abused by three boys who were trying to get it ready to fight the [[Orange Crew]]. {{AP|Pikachu}}'s {{m|ThunderShock}} was able to send the trio running. {{Tracey}} examined Lapras and realized it needed help. He gave Ash medicine to give it while he went to tell [[Nurse Joy]]. However, Lapras refused to take the medicine from Ash. They then took it to the [[Pokémon Center]], where [[Nurse Joy]] explained that Lapras was afraid of humans. Soon Ash gained Lapras' trust after he saved it from [[Team Rocket]]. Later during that episode, Lapras decided to be a part of Ash's [[team]].

Lapras was used extensively as a mean of transportation. Ash, [[Misty]] and Tracey rode on its back as it carried them through the seas from one [[Orange Archipelago|Orange island to another]].

Ash won a race against [[Cissy]] riding on Lapras in ''[[EP085|Fit to be Tide]]'' against Cissy and her {{TP|Cissy|Blastoise}}, gaining his first Orange League [[badge]] in the process.

[[Image:Ash_Lapras.jpg|thumb|left|215px|Ash reuniting with his Lapras which is now an adult]]
Lapras was also used against a {{p|Gengar}} in the final battle against {{oi|Drake}} in the Orange League. The cliffhanger of ''[[EP111|Hello Pummelo]]'' was the collision of attacks between the two. ''[[EP112|Enter the Dragonite]]'' began with the revelation that the collision had knocked out both Pokémon.

In ''[[EP113|Viva Las Lapras]]'', Ash and {{ashfr|friends}} found the school that Lapras got separated from. However, its school wanted nothing to do with Lapras because it was accompanied by humans. They gained a hatred towards humans because of [[Captain Crook]] who hunted the Lapras. After Ash and his Lapras defeated the large school of {{p|Tentacruel}} belonging to the captain, the Lapras began to trust humans and Ash's Lapras was able to rejoin the school, as well as its mother. Ash and Lapras went separate ways from that point.

Ash was briefly reunited with Lapras in the episode ''[[EP257|Lapras of Luxury]]'', during which it was revealed to have become the leader of its herd.

==Moves used==
*{{m|Ice Beam}}
*{{m|Water Gun}}
* {{m|Surf}}

==Trivia==
*Lapras is the third of Ash's Pokémon that was caught off-screen and the third in the English version if [[Ash's Tauros|Ash's 30 Tauros]] are counted as one Pokémon. [[Ash's Squirtle|Ash's Squirtle]] was the first.
*Lapras was the first Pokémon that Ash had that got separated from its mother and then returned to her later on. The second is {{AP|Larvitar}}.
**Coincidentally, Lapras reunited with Ash in the [[EP257|same episode]] that he received Larvitar's [[Pokémon egg|egg]].

'''Ash's Staraptor''' (Japanese: '''サトシのムクホーク''' ''Satoshi's Mukuhawk'') is the first [[Pokémon]] that [[Ash Ketchum]] [[captured Pokémon|caught]] in the [[Sinnoh]] region. In Japanese, it is voiced by 古島清孝 ''[[Kiyotaka Furushima]]'' as a Starly and Staravia, and by 小西克幸 ''[[Katsuyuki Konishi]]'' as a Staraptor. In English, it is voiced by [[Sarah Natochenny]] as a Starly and a Staravia.

==History==
[[Image:Ash's Starly.png|As a Starly|200px|thumb|left]]

Ash caught it as a {{p|Starly}} in ''[[DP002|Two Degrees of Separation]]'' while searching for {{AP|Pikachu}}, who was missing due to the antics of [[Team Rocket]]. {{AP|Aipom}} was swinging through the trees and accidentally bumped into Starly, so the two Pokémon battled. Weakened by Aipom, Starly was captured and immediately used in the search for Pikachu.

In ''[[DP013|A Staravia is Born]]'', Starly evolved into a {{p|Staravia}} during a battle with [[Team Rocket]]. Immediately after its evolution Staravia had perfectly learned {{m|Aerial Ace}}. Evolving has also allowed it to grow much stronger and become very useful in searches.

Staravia was the only of Ash's Pokémon who didn't participate in Ash's first Sinnoh [[Gym]] battle against [[Roark]]; however, Staravia helped out in Ash's second Sinnoh Gym battle, defeating [[Gardenia]]'s {{p|Cherubi}}. After seeing [[Reggie]]'s {{p|Staraptor}} use the powerful {{m|Brave Bird}} attack, Ash was inspired to teach it to Staravia. In the third Sinnoh [[Gym]] {{pkmn|battle}}, Staravia defeated [[Maylene]]'s {{p|Machoke}} and {{p|Meditite}}, as well as successfully mastering Brave Bird.

In [[DP118]], a [[PokéRinger]] competition was held in [[Wind Town]] where Ash entered and won with Staravia, who evolved into a Staraptor in the process. Shortly after its evolution, Staraptor learned {{m|Close Combat}} and defeated [[Paul's Honchkrow]], earning Ash his first victory over [[Paul]].

Unlike {{AP|Pidgeot}} or {{AP|Noctowl}}, Staraptor is closer in use to {{AP|Swellow}} in that, while Pidgeot and Noctowl were mainly used for scouting purposes, Staraptor is occasionally used in battles and is one of Ash's most reliable team members.

==Trivia==
* Despite the fact Ash's Staraptor and other members of his evolution family know {{m|Gust}}, it is impossible for {{p|Starly}}, {{p|Staravia}}, or {{p|Staraptor}} to learn it in the games. This error was also present in the Japanese version. The dub changed it to {{m|Whirlwind}} in Starly's initial appearance, but left it as Gust until ''[[DP038|One Big Happiny Family]]'', when it was dubbed as Whirlwind again, and has been since.
* As seen in ''[[DP085|Fighting Fear with Fear!]]'', Staravia is Ash's first Pokémon to wear his bag.
* For ''[[DP015|Shapes of Things to Come]]'', [[Professor Oak's lecture]] is about Ash's Staravia. He writes this [[Pokémon senryū]] about it: ムックルが　ムクムクしんか　ムクバード ''{{tt|Mukkuru|Starly}} mukumuku-evolved; {{tt|Mukubird|Staravia}}''
* Judging by the pattern on Staraptor's head, it can be assumed that this Pokémon is male. However, the pattern does change shape occasionally in some scenes, therefore it cannot be properly determined.
** However, in [[DP103]], it falls in love with a Staravia doll that was designed to appear female, showing that Staraptor is male. It is noteworthy that Staravia's "dot" is noticeably larger than that of the doll's.
** In the Czech dub, Staraptor is constantly referred as a female Pokémon.
** In the Latin American dub, Staraptor is referred to as a male Pokémon.
* Staraptor was the 40th Pokémon species Ash has owned, counting {{AP|Larvitar}}, {{AP|Haunter}}, and {{AP|Raticate}}.
* Staraptor's method of evolving to its final stage is similar to [[Ash's Swellow]], through a [[PokéRinger]] competition.
** The evolution is also similar to that of [[Ash's Grotle]], having evolved against [[Paul's Honchkrow]].
* Upon its final evolution, Staraptor became the 50th Pokémon that Ash has obtained, including evolutions and counting {{AP|Seaking}}, {{TP|Casey|Beedrill}}, {{TP|Sabrina|Haunter}} and {{AP|Raticate}}, even though Haunter was not officially his, Beedrill was given away nearly immediately, and Seaking was released as part of contest rules.
*After Staravia's evolution into a Staraptor followed a common theme in the series. All of Ash's bird Pokémon eventually reach their final evolutionary stage.
