'''Goodra''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ヌメルゴン''' ''Numelgon'') is a {{type|Dragon}} [[pseudo-legendary Pokémon]].

It [[evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Sliggoo}} starting at level 50 when leveled up during rain in the overworld. Rain instigated by {{m|Rain Dance}} or {{a|Drizzle}} will not trigger this evolution. It is the final evolution of {{p|Goomy}}.

==Biology==
Goodra is a pudgy bipedal {{type|Dragon}} Pokémon that appears to be made of goo. Its ventral portion is mauve, while its dorsal side is lavender. It has bright green eyes, and two green spots on either side of its face and three on either side of its thick tail which curls inward. Goodra have two sets of antennae atop their head that are capable of retracting. The front pair of antennae are short, skinny and stand upright, while the back pair are long and thick, drooping downward behind its head and curling upward toward their tapering ends. A pale green slime drips from Goodra's chin and arms. Goodra is capable of throwing very strong punches. It is very affectionate and, when it hugs its Trainer, leaves them covered in goo.

==Trivia==
* Goodra is the only [[Pseudo-legendary Pokémon|pseudo-legendary]] of a single type.
** It is also the only pseudo-legendary that is immune to a type only because of {{a|Sap Sipper|one of its possible Abilities}}; all other pseudo-legendaries have at least one type immunity because of their own types.
* Goodra has the highest base {{stat|Special Defense}} of all {{type|Dragon}} Pokémon.
* Goodra shares the same [[species]] name with {{p|Horsea}}, {{p|Dratini}}, their evolutions, and {{p|Salamence}}. They are all known as the Dragon Pokémon.
* Goodra's base stats are all twice those of {{p|Goomy}}, with {{p|Sliggoo}}'s being half way in between (rounded up).

===Origin===
Goodra, due to its Dragon type, elongated body shape, and retractable tentacles used for battling is probably based on the {{wp|Lou Carcolh}}, a mythical serpent/mollusk creature from French folklore. Like its pre-evolutions, it could also be based on soft bodied gastropods, such as {{wp|slugs}} and {{wp|nudibranch}}; in particular, the {{wp|Glaucus atlanticus|"blue dragon" sea slug}}; Goodra's Pokédex entry may be a reference to slug's retractable eyes, which retract when they are in danger. Another possible basis is the youkai called {{jwp|出世螺|Shussebora}}, or "ascended trumpet shell": a trumpet shell snail that lives 1000 years in the mountains, 1000 on the plains and 1000 at sea will ascend and turn into a dragon.

====Name origin====
Goodra is a combination of ''goo'' and ''dragon''. It may also be a play on ''good'' or ''hydra''.

Numelgon may be a combination of 滑る ''numeru'' (to be slippery), ''gel'', and ''dragon''.

'''Venusaur''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''フシギバナ''' ''Fushigibana'') is a dual-type {{2t|Grass|Poison}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Ivysaur}} starting at [[level]] 32. It is the final form of {{p|Bulbasaur}}.

Venusaur is the [[version mascot]] of both {{game|Green}} and {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s|LeafGreen}}, appearing on the boxart of both.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Venasaur's coloring is more similar to Ivysaur's, and it has retained the three toes (claws), but has four additional fangs. It is considerably larger and heavier than both of its pre-evolutions are, and as such, it moves slower than the two when it is not in {{pkmn|battle}}, though it retains its {{DL|List of Pokémon by body style|Pokémon with a quadruped body|quadruped form}}. The bud on its back has since bloomed into a large red flower with six expansive, white-spotted petals, supported on a brown trunk somewhat like that of a palm tree. Instead of patches on its skin, Venusaur appears to have frog-like warts. Additionally, the insides of Venusaur's ears now appear to be red in coloration.

====Gender differences====
The female has a "seed" protruding from its flower; possibly representing a fertile Venusaur.

===Special abilities===
Venusaur are able to manipulate nature, as seen in ''[[EP051|Bulbasaur's Mysterious Garden]]'' by making the flowers on a tree bloom, controlling roots and branches to attack enemies or form a defensive wall around the garden. In addition, they are able to make Bulbasaur evolve by making their bulbs grow.

As with its pre-evolutions, most of Venusaur's attacks involve the plant on its back, but the attacks are clearly stronger than those from Bulbasaur and Ivysaur are. The flower on its back has a {{m|Sweet Scent|pleasant aroma}} that may attract other Pokémon. The aroma can also sooth people's emotions and calm Pokémon engaged in battle. The fragrance is stronger after a rainy day. The flower also absorbs sunlight to convert it into energy, thus making it far stronger during summertime.

It is also able to charge at its enemies to gain speed, then perform moves such as {{m|Skull Bash}} and {{m|Body Slam}} with a force more powerful than a speeding armored truck. Additionally, it is capable of making incredible leaps for such a heavy Pokémon, and it is able to dodge attacks and jump across close rock formations. Its only downside is that its weight causes a small quake as it lands (of which appears to be the means that Venusaur uses the move {{m|Earthquake}}) which can break the platform it’s trying to land on, or cause it to get buried in mud or sand. Since Venusaur is a fully evolved Pokémon (and the final evolution of a Grass-type [[starter Pokémon]] for that matter), it can use {{m|Hyper Beam}}, {{m|Giga Impact}}, and {{m|Frenzy Plant}}.

===Behavior===
Rarely in the wild, Venusaur usually lead the evolution rituals of Bulbasaur and Ivysaur every year, away from human eyes. A Trainer must be well experienced when around Venusaur because it is so powerful.

They still have a loyalty streak, though this isn't seen much, since most Venusaur act as the Trainer's bodyguard and are rarely abandoned, if ever. For some unknown reason, possibly from age, Venusaur are very calm and collected Pokémon, even after being caught, similar to {{P|Torterra}}.

===Habitat===
[[File:Grassland Habitat.png|thumb|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Grassland Pokémon}}]]
Venusaur's natural habitat seems to consist of plains with access to large amounts of sunshine and fresh water; they can be found in forests and jungles. As with the rest of its evolutionary family, it is mainly found in [[Kanto]].

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}
Venusaur gets most, if not all, of its energy from the flower on its back. The flower engages in photosynthesis, which provides energy for Venusaur. During this time, it remains completely still. Due to this, it prefers sunny areas and is more powerful in the summertime. It is unknown if Venusaur have to eat at all.

==In the anime==
[[File:May Venusaur.png|thumb|right|250px|Female Venusaur in the anime]]

===Major appearances===
====[[May's Venusaur]]====

====[[Spenser's Venusaur]]====
{{FB|Palace Maven|Spenser}}'s {{TP|Spenser|Venusaur}} debuted in ''[[AG163|Cutting the Ties that Bind]]''. Spenser had Venusaur use {{m|Sweet Scent}} to drive away the furious {{p|Beedrill}}. Venusaur was the second Pokémon that the Palace Maven used in his battle with Ash in ''[[AG164|Ka Boom with a View!]]''. The Seed Pokémon won against [[Ash's Heracross]], but lost to his {{AP|Swellow}}. It made another appearance in a flashback in ''[[AG165|King and Queen for a Day!]]''.

====Other====
A Venusaur leading an evolution ceremony for {{p|Bulbasaur}} appeared in ''[[EP051|Bulbasaur's Mysterious Garden]]''.

A Venusaur nicknamed Bruteroot was under the ownership of a Trainer named [[Corey]] in ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]''. Like Corey's other Pokémon, it was cloned by {{an|Mewtwo}}. Its clone made another appearance in ''[[Mewtwo Returns]]''.

{{OBP|Drake|Orange League}} of the [[Orange Archipelago|Orange Islands]] used a Venusaur in his battle against {{Ash}} and his {{AP|Tauros}} in ''[[EP112|Enter The Dragonite]]''.

{{ka|Jeremy}} used a Venusaur that knew {{m|Frenzy Plant}} in the second half of the Silver Town [[Pokémon Contest]] in ''[[AG151|Weekend Warrior]]''. Jeremy's Venusaur came very close to defeating [[May's Combusken]], but the Young Fowl Pokémon came through and pulled off a come-from-behind victory.

===Minor appearances===
A giant robot Venusaur was at the amusement park in ''[[EP017|Island of the Giant Pokémon]]''.

In ''[[EP020|The Ghost of Maiden's Peak]]'', a {{p|Gastly}} created an illusion of Venusaur in order to frighten [[Ash's Bulbasaur]]. Gastly subsequently combined this Venusaur with an illusionary {{p|Blastoise}} to create a ''[[Venustoise]]'', which terrified both Squirtle and Bulbasaur out of battling.

The first time a real Venusaur made an appearance was a cameo in ''[[EP043|March of the Exeggutor Squad]]''.

Venusaur also appeared in ''[[M02|The Power of One]]''.

A Venusaur was seen in a Gym on [[Kumquat Island]] in ''[[EP108|Pokémon Double Trouble]]''. However, this scene was removed from the dub due to the appearance of {{p|Jynx}}.

A Venusaur was one of the Pokémon seen in a field of flowers in ''[[EP180|Houndoom's Special Delivery]]''. It tried to use {{m|Sleep Powder}} on [[Misty's Togetic|Misty's Togepi]], but {{p|Houndoom}} blocked the attack, causing itself to fall {{status|sleep|asleep}}.

An [[Gan Gogh|artist]] has a Venusaur as a long-time friend, which he used to battle Team Rocket to blast off in ''[[EP185|The Light Fantastic]]''.

A Venusaur was seen in a [[Pokémon Center]] in ''[[EP187|Moving Pictures]]''.

Two Venusaur appeared in the intro of ''[[M07|Destiny Deoxys]]''.

As seen in ''[[AG135|Numero Uno Articuno]]'', one of the Pokémon {{FB|Factory Head|Noland}} offers for challengers to battle is a Venusaur. However, Ash instead chose to battle {{TP|Noland|Articuno}}.

A Venusaur appeared in ''[[AG180|May, We Harley Drew'd Ya!]]''.

A Venusaur appeared in the opening scenes of ''[[M13|Zoroark: Master of Illusions]]''.

Bulbasaur evolved into {{p|Ivysaur}} in ''[[PS015|Wartortle Wars]]'' after defeating a wild {{p|Primeape}}, and into Venusaur in ''[[PS033|The Winged Legends]]'' while fighting against [[Thu-Fi-Zer|the merged version]] of {{p|Zapdos}}, {{p|Moltres}}, and {{p|Articuno}} along [[Blue's Charizard]] and [[Blasty]], defeating it with its augmented {{m|SolarBeam}} while the others used {{m|Flamethrower}} and {{m|Hydro Pump}}, respectively. With the unusual help of [[Poli]] and [[Pika]] he was able to defeat Blue's Charizard at the Pokémon League, winning the battle and the tournament. At [[Boon Island]], Saur learned {{m|Frenzy Plant}} from [[Kimberly]], and was able to destroy {{adv|Mewtwo}}'s restrictive M2 Bind, again with the help of the other two starters. During this incident, it was temporarily traded to {{adv|Blue}}, but was given back to its owner soon afterward.

==Other appearances==
===[[Super Smash Bros.]]===
Venusaur is one of the Pokémon that can appear from the gate on the rooftop of [[Silph Co.]] in the [[Saffron City]] stage. Venusaur will occasionally fire {{m|Razor Leaf|Razor Leaves}} at any character in front of it.

===[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]===
When Venusaur is released from a [[Poké Ball]], it uses the move {{m|Frustration}} to cause an {{m|earthquake}}, similar to {{dk|Donkey Kong}}'s Down + B attack. Any player caught in this will be sent flying.

Venusaur is also a Pokéfloat. The front half will push itself onto the screen first and play will then begin to move to the right after {{p|Snorlax}} leaves the screen.

====Trophy information====
''Evolving from Ivysaur, this deceptively toxic Pokémon has a huge flower on its back that emits a cloying fragrance: the scent lulls its enemies into a state of calmness. Venusaur's flower synthesizes sunshine into pure energy for its {{m|SolarBeam}} move. Think of Grass-type Pokémon, and Venusaur comes first.''

==Trivia==
* Venusaur is exactly the same size as another {{type|Grass}} Pokémon, {{p|Tropius}}. Both have a height of {{tt|6'7<nowiki>''</nowiki>|2.0m}} and a weight of {{tt|220.5 pounds|100.0kg}}.
* Venusaur's number in the [[National Pokédex]] and the [[List of Pokémon by Fiore Browser number|Fiore Browser]] are the same: 003.
* Due to [[List of censored words in Generation V|the censor]] that prevents Pokémon with offensive [[nickname]]s being traded on the [[GTS]], an English language Venusaur cannot be traded on the GTS without a nickname in [[Generation V]].
* Venusaur shares its [[species]] name with {{p|Bulbasaur}}, {{p|Ivysaur}}, and {{p|Sunkern}}. They are all known as the Seed Pokémon.

===Origin===
Venusaur appears to be based primarily on some form of {{wp|reptile}}, specifically the {{wp|tuatara}} or any of the mammal-like reptiles known as ''{{wp|Dicynodonts}}'' from the {{wp|Permian}} period or the {{wp|Kannemeyeria}}'' from the {{wp|Triassic}} period.

Other than a lack of a tail, and with visible ears and no genuine metamorphosis stage (evolution aside), Venusaur does not have much in common with {{wp|amphibians}} like {{wp|frogs}} and {{wp|toads}} (which metamorphose from one definite creature into another as they mature as opposed to just growing into a larger adult version of itself the way that Venusaur does); instead, it more closely resembles reptiles like lizards and tuataras. Alternatively, Venusaur's large rounded snout, wide mouth, wide-set eyes, bumpy wart-like skin, and quadraped-like movements are vaguely similar to those of certain amphibians, such as the {{wp|common toad}}. Unlike Bulbasaur, Venusaur's "ears" do have hollows indicating that they are in fact ears and not glands, as seen in many species of frogs and toads.

The flower on its back resembles the {{wp|rafflesia arnoldii}}.

====Name origin====
Venusaur is a combination of the words ''Venus'' (referring to the {{wp|Venus Flytrap}} plant) and the {{wp|Greek language|Greek}} ''saur'' (lizard).

Fushigibana is a pun on 不思議な花 "''fushigi na hana''" (strange flower).

'''Pichu''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ピチュー''' ''Pichu'') is an {{type|Electric}} [[baby Pokémon]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Pikachu}} when [[level]]ed up with high [[friendship]], which evolves into {{p|Raichu}} when exposed to a {{evostone|Thunderstone}}.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Pichu is a small ground-dwelling rodent. Its fur is very short, and it is pale yellow in color. The tips of its large ears are black, and it has additional black markings on its neck and tail. Its tail is short, but still bears some resemblance to the large lightning-bolt structure it will develop later on in life. It has pouches in its cheeks, which are pinkish colored and used for storing small amounts of electricity. Its nose is extremely small, almost like a dot. It is classified as a {{DL|List of Pokémon by body style|Pokémon with a quadruped body|quadruped}}, but many have been known to walk easily on their hind legs.

====Gender differences====
Pichu normally have no gender differences; however, the [[Spiky-eared Pichu]], which is female, has a spiked ear.

===Special abilities===
Pichu, like its evolutions, is capable of producing {{t|electric}}al sparks from its cheeks, charging itself with electricity more easily on days with thunderclouds or when the air is very dry. However, since Pichu is only a {{pkmn2|baby}}, it cannot control them as well, and may release electricity unintentionally. However, it is not able to store large amounts of electricity in its body.

Pichu, and its evolution family, {{p|Pikachu}} and {{p|Raichu}}, are the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] that can learn {{m|Volt Tackle}}.

===Behavior===
Pichu are social Pokémon known for their playfulness. They tend to be very mischievous and are always on the lookout for something fun to do. They are usually found in groups, typically with members of their own species, but occasionally with other types of Pokémon. Like their evolutions, they are capable of storing electricity from the atmosphere, however, this ability requires much practice to perfect. Pichu are prone to randomly discharging electricity, as they are not fully mature. They become better at holding power as they grow older. Pichu are frequently observed touching tails with each other, creating a shower of sparks.

===Habitat===
[[File:Forest Habitat.png|thumb|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Forest Pokémon}}]]
Pichu primarily live in forests like their evolution, Pikachu, although they have also been depicted to thrive in urban areas.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}
Pichu appear to be particularly fond of {{wp|apple}}s. The [[Spiky-Eared Pichu]] loves [[Grepa Berry|Grepa Berries]].

The Pichu Brothers are a pair of Pichu who have appeared in several places, including ''[[PK07|Pikachu & Pichu]]'', ''[[PK11|Camp Pikachu]]'', several episodes of [[Pokémon Chronicles]], and the [[Pokémon Channel]] special ''[[Pichu Bros. in Party Panic]]''. Their design is similar to [[Ash's Pikachu]] and [[Sparky]], in that one has a scruff of fur while the other does not.

====[[Spiky-eared Pichu]]====
A Pichu with a spiked ear, known as Spiky-eared Pichu, appeared in ''[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]''. She helped {{AP|Pikachu}} and {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}} find the keys for the jail cell that held {{Ash}}, {{an|Dawn}}, {{an|Brock}}, and [[Damos]]. She and a [[Shiny Pokémon|Pikachu-colored Pichu]] star in [[Get Fired Up, Spiky-eared Pichu!|the fourth ending]] to the {{series|Diamond & Pearl}}.

====[[Ukulele Pichu]]====
Ukulele Pichu appeared in the [[Pokémon Ranger: Guardian Signs]] [[SS022|Anime Special]], and was captured by {{ra|Ben}} in the [[SS023|concluding part]].

====Other====
Pichu first appeared in ''[[EP179|The Apple Corp]]''. Many were stealing apples from {{an|Charmaine}}'s apple orchard.

A Pichu had a role in ''[[SS019|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Team Go-Getters out of the Gate!]]''. Pichu's big brother, Pikachu, was lost and he was so worried, the Baby Electric Mouse went out to find him. Pichu came across Team Meanies, but they played a horrible trick on Pichu when asked to join them. Pichu found Team Go-Getters, who gladly let him come along with them. Pichu was eventually kidnapped by the {{p|Skarmory}} that had kidnapped Pikachu.

Another Pichu appeared in ''[[DP074|Pika and Goliath!]]'' under the ownership of [[Sho]].

A Pichu appeared in ''[[DP190|The Brockster Is In!]]'' with several other baby Pokémon. It was badly poisoned by a {{p|Tentacruel}}, but was healed by a {{m|Softboiled}} from [[Brock's Chansey]].

===Minor appearances===
A Pichu appeared on a girl's shoulder briefly in ''[[M04|Celebi: Voice of the Forest]]'' in a window during Ash's battle at the beginning of the movie.

A Pichu appeared in ''[[M08|Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]'' as a {{m|Transform|transformation}} of {{OBP|Mew|M08}}.

A Pichu was used in the [[Kanto Grand Festival]] in ''[[AG180|May, We Harley Drew'd Ya!]]''.

Three Pichu appear in ''[[DP084|Hungry For the Good Life!]]''.

==In the manga==
[[File:Gold Pichu Golden Boys.png|thumb|right|200px|{{GnB|Gold}}'s Pichu in [[Pokémon Gold and Silver: The Golden Boys]]]]
===In the Magical Pokémon Journey manga===
In [[Magical Pokémon Journey]], it is revealed in ''[[PPP53|The Accidental Treasure]]'' that {{MPJ|Pikachu}} and {{MPJ|Clefairy}} met as [[baby Pokémon]], Pichu and {{p|Cleffa}}.

Also, in ''[[PPPB19|The Miraculous Color of the Sky ~Best Friends~]]'', [[Sandy]] and [[Sandy's Raichu|her Raichu]] are reincarnated as a little girl and a Pichu.

===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
{{adv|Gold}}, in his desperation, protected an Egg containing the offspring of {{adv|Red}}'s [[Pika]] and {{adv|Yellow}}'s [[Chuchu]] from the [[Masked Man]]. Soon thereafter, Gold's own talent as the "hatcher" allowed a powerful [[Gold (Adventures)#Pichu|Pichu]] to hatch, with which he was able to defeat the villain and free {{p|Celebi}} from the [[GS Ball]] using {{p|Raikou}}'s massive electrical power. Its name was unknown, though Yellow said, "It must have come from the day care where we left Pika and Chuchu!" She names it Pichu, deriving from its parents names. It also returned with its parents to help destroy [[Guile Hideout]]'s giant {{p|Kyogre}} monster with a {{m|Volt Tackle}}.

===In the Pokémon Gold and Silver: The Golden Boys manga===
In [[Pokémon Gold and Silver: The Golden Boys]], {{GnB|Gold}} receives an {{pkmn|Egg}} from the [[Day-Care Couple]] in ''[[GB10|A Huge Mysterious Tree!!]]''. It hatches into Pichu in ''[[GB16|The New Pokémon Is Hatched!!]]'', becoming one of Gold's party members.

===Origin===
Pichu draws inspiration from {{wp|mice}}, {{wp|squirrel}}s, and various other {{wp|rodent}}s.

====Name origin====
Pichu is a combination of ピカピカ ''pikapika'' (onomatopoeia for sparkle) and チューチュー ''chūchū'' (the sound of squeaking). It may also be a play on プチ ''puchi'' (petit). Pichu is ultimately a diminutive of ''{{p|Pikachu}}'', indicating it is less than Pikachu.

'''Pichu''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ピチュー''' ''Pichu'') is an {{type|Electric}} [[baby Pokémon]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Pikachu}} when [[level]]ed up with high [[friendship]], which evolves into {{p|Raichu}} when exposed to a {{evostone|Thunderstone}}.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Pichu is a small ground-dwelling rodent. Its fur is very short, and it is pale yellow in color. The tips of its large ears are black, and it has additional black markings on its neck and tail. Its tail is short, but still bears some resemblance to the large lightning-bolt structure it will develop later on in life. It has pouches in its cheeks, which are pinkish colored and used for storing small amounts of electricity. Its nose is extremely small, almost like a dot. It is classified as a {{DL|List of Pokémon by body style|Pokémon with a quadruped body|quadruped}}, but many have been known to walk easily on their hind legs.

====Gender differences====
Pichu normally have no gender differences; however, the [[Spiky-eared Pichu]], which is female, has a spiked ear.

===Special abilities===
Pichu, like its evolutions, is capable of producing {{t|electric}}al sparks from its cheeks, charging itself with electricity more easily on days with thunderclouds or when the air is very dry. However, since Pichu is only a {{pkmn2|baby}}, it cannot control them as well, and may release electricity unintentionally. However, it is not able to store large amounts of electricity in its body.

Pichu, and its evolution family, {{p|Pikachu}} and {{p|Raichu}}, are the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] that can learn {{m|Volt Tackle}}.

===Behavior===
Pichu are social Pokémon known for their playfulness. They tend to be very mischievous and are always on the lookout for something fun to do. They are usually found in groups, typically with members of their own species, but occasionally with other types of Pokémon. Like their evolutions, they are capable of storing electricity from the atmosphere, however, this ability requires much practice to perfect. Pichu are prone to randomly discharging electricity, as they are not fully mature. They become better at holding power as they grow older. Pichu are frequently observed touching tails with each other, creating a shower of sparks.

===Habitat===
[[File:Forest Habitat.png|thumb|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Forest Pokémon}}]]
Pichu primarily live in forests like their evolution, Pikachu, although they have also been depicted to thrive in urban areas.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}
Pichu appear to be particularly fond of {{wp|apple}}s. The [[Spiky-Eared Pichu]] loves [[Grepa Berry|Grepa Berries]].

Their design is similar to [[Ash's Pikachu]] and [[Sparky]], in that one has a scruff of fur while the other does not.

====[[Spiky-eared Pichu]]====
A Pichu with a spiked ear, known as Spiky-eared Pichu, appeared in ''[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]''.

A Pichu had a role in ''[[SS019|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Team Go-Getters out of the Gate!]]''. Pichu's big brother, Pikachu, was lost and he was so worried, the Baby Electric Mouse went out to find him. Pichu came across Team Meanies, but they played a horrible trick on Pichu when asked to join them. Pichu found Team Go-Getters, who gladly let him come along with them. Pichu was eventually kidnapped by the {{p|Skarmory}} that had kidnapped Pikachu.

Another Pichu appeared in ''[[DP074|Pika and Goliath!]]'' under the ownership of [[Sho]].

A Pichu appeared in ''[[DP190|The Brockster Is In!]]'' with several other baby Pokémon. It was badly poisoned by a {{p|Tentacruel}}, but was healed by a {{m|Softboiled}} from [[Brock's Chansey]].

Its name was unknown, though Yellow said, "It must have come from the day care where we left Pika and Chuchu!" She names it Pichu, deriving from its parents names.

==Trivia==
* Pichu used to be game director [[Junichi Masuda]]'s favorite Pokémon.<ref>http://www.gamepro.com/article/previews/209340/pokemon-platinum-developer-interview-pt-2/</ref> His new favorite is {{p|Victini}}.<ref>http://ds.ign.com/articles/115/1150433p1.html</ref>
* {{SSB|Pichu}} is the only [[Generation II]] Pokémon to be playable in [[Super Smash Bros. Melee]] (although many others have appeared from [[Poké Ball]]s).
* Pichu is the only Pokémon with a base stat total of 205 that is not based on a cocoon.
* Due to it being distributed via [[Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection]] for European and North American games, the Pikachu-colored Pichu, a {{Shiny}} Pichu, was the first Pokémon to be given out over Wi-Fi Connection outside Japan.
** {{p|Jirachi}} has this honor for the Japanese games, as well as overall.
* Pichu has the lowest base stat total of all Electric-type Pokémon.
** Pichu also has the lowest {{stat|HP}}, {{stat|Defense}}, and {{stat|Special Attack}} base stats out of all Electric-type Pokémon.
*According to an NPC found in New Bark Town, Professor Oak discovered Pichu.
===Origin===
Pichu draws inspiration from {{wp|mice}}, {{wp|squirrel}}s, and various other {{wp|rodent}}s.

====Name origin====
Pichu is a combination of ピカピカ ''pikapika'' (onomatopoeia for sparkle) and チューチュー ''chūchū'' (the sound of squeaking). It may also be a play on プチ ''puchi'' (petit). Pichu is ultimately a diminutive of ''{{p|Pikachu}}'', indicating it is less than Pikachu.

== Weakness ==

If Vulpix or Ninetales has their Hidden Ability (Drought), it functions the same as having Sunny Day. When Sunny Day is active, Water type moves are reduced to 50%. If that is the case (and please correct me if I am wrong) would the effective damage of Water type moves against a Vulpix / Ninetales with Drought effectively be 1x and not 2x, due to the 50% Water Type reduction.
I was just looking under the "Type Effectiveness" section and noticed it wasn't under the Notes.
Can anyone verify / double check with me please?
Thanks ([[User:Solstice|Solstice]] ([[User talk:Solstice|talk]]) 09:56, 15 April 2013 (UTC))
:Effects due to weather are not included in the type effectiveness chart. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 10:01, 15 April 2013 (UTC)
True, it simulates weather. But it's not caused by a move or environment. It's a continuous and passive trait of that specific pokemon, making it a constant effect. Just like Levitate is a continuous and passive trait. ([[User:Solstice|Solstice]] ([[User talk:Solstice|talk]]) 10:16, 15 April 2013 (UTC))
I agree though. It is a weather effect, but it is not weather induced. It is ability induced, making weather. ([[User:Solstice|Solstice]] ([[User talk:Solstice|talk]]) 10:27, 15 April 2013 (UTC))
:The Ability induces the weather, but the weather causes the effect. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 10:28, 15 April 2013 (UTC)
I understand. Just thought it would be worth annotating under the notes portion. That's all. ([[User:Solstice|Solstice]] ([[User talk:Solstice|talk]]) 10:38, 15 April 2013 (UTC))

== Needs redirect ==
For some reason, [[Ninetales_(Pokemon)]] doesn't redirect here, even though every other pokemon I've tried it with has that style of redirect. Either somebody should undelete that redirect, or they should start deleting a hell of a lot more. --[[User:Cedrickc|Cedrickc]] ([[User talk:Cedrickc|talk]]) 20:30, 5 July 2013 (UTC)

'''Psystrike''' (Japanese: '''サイコブレイク''' ''Psycho Break'') is a damage-dealing {{type|Psychic}} [[move]] introduced in [[Generation V]]. It is the [[signature move]] of {{p|Mewtwo}}.

==Effect==
Psystrike inflicts physical damage. Despite being classified as Special move, this move calculates damage using the user's {{stat|Special Attack}} and the opponent's {{stat|Defense}} stat (similar to {{m|Psyshock}} and {{m|Secret Sword}}).

==Description==

Some pokemon that cant be caught in the wild and must be evolved have a dual nature that is not shared with the previous generation, how do you get their abilities then?

:::Nopes. It will remain with its ability. For example if you have a Rhydon with Lighningrod and it evolves, the Rhyperior will continue having Lightningrod as ability. But if the Rhydon had Rock Head, then as Rhyperior it will have Solid Rock. That's the way it works. '''[[User:Hfc2x|hfc]][[User talk:Hfc2x|2X]]''' 01:11, 18 June 2008 (UTC)

:::: What I meant is that if you transfer Nidorino with point point and evolve it, it has a 50% chance of getting rivalry. The Rhyperior situation doesn't fly because the line already had two abilities : Lightning Rod and Rock head, Rock head becomes solid rock upon evolving. Solid rock isn't 'added' it replaces an existing one. [[User:Shiny Lanturn|Shiny Lanturn]] 14:26, 18 July 2008 (UTC)

:::::::Also, the apparent 50% chance of picking one ability or the other upon evolution appears to be determined at trade or import. I have a zigzagoon with pickup which I imported to Diamond from Sapphire, then traded to my current Soul Silver. I have a savegame with it at lvl 19 on the verge of evolution, in order to reset the game if it evolves with gluttony (I want pickup). EVERY TIME I level it up it evolves with gluttony, it's been 9 times now. It's definitely not 50/50 upon evolution. -[[User:DropShock|DropShock]] 17:59, 16 March 2012 (UTC)
::::::::It's 50/50 if you haven't found out yet, but it'll always turn out the same. The ability is set as nr1 or nr2 from the moment you obtain it. If in genVI the nr2 ability is suddenly different than genIII (where it was the same as nr1 in such cases), the ability will correct after evolution if that's the case or stay if your poke has nr1.--[[User:Saiph charon|Saiph charon]] 18:10, 16 March 2012 (UTC)

:Some real description of the ability would be good. The current text is just pulled from the game - doesn't have much detail, for example, {{a|Pickup}} could do with an explanation of just what ''very rare, rare, uncommon, common'' etc. mean in terms of percentages. {{a|Blaze}} ought to explain what ''up'' and ''pinch'' specifically mean.

Hey, do someone knows someone that can get the game code so we can add the numbers to G IV abilities? [[User:Gambler|Gambler]] 04:47, 11 November 2006 (UTC)
P.S. Also, I'm thinking of doing a template, should I add them in numerical order or by funtionality? (Raises something, decreases something, affected by weather, affects weather, etc...)?
:I think we should keep the functionality things to categories, which I've only done for the weather ones. Numerically listed or alphabetically listed in a template is good, though. And you might be able to extract them by crossreferencing one of Zhen Lin's subpages on which Pokémon has which ability with a source that shows the names for the specific abilities a Pokémon has, since I dunno any other source that gives number and name at the same time.

== Mystery Dungeon Information ==

Should there be a Mystery Dungeon section on abilities articles? A lot of abilities work different than they do on main games (Illuminate makes a wild pokemon appears every time the pokemon with Illuminate is hit, for example) and I think articles should note that.

== Hidden Abilities? ==

There's a good deal of information on Hidden Abilities here, such as which Pokemon have which Hidden Abilities, but I haven't been able to find any information on what a Hidden Ability is or does anywhere, either on the wiki or via Google. I have a couple of hypotheses, but I don't have either of the Generation V games, and I'm not certain they exist in Gen IV. I also don't care to throw around wild conjecture because that's how rumors get started. If this information can be found, I think we should add it. [[User:VoidPointer|VoidPointer]] 01:36, 12 December 2010 (UTC)
:They are exclusive to Gen V games. They are abilities that a Pokémon can legitimately have in-game, but are not available on normal wild Pokémon.

{{movep|type=electric|ms=112|pkmn=Rhydon|method=When Rhydon's opponent uses an electric attack, the attack changes direction and hits Rhydon's horn instead.}}
{{movebtm|type=electric|user=Rhydon (Pokémon)|user1=H Block Trainer's Rhydon|startcode=DP050|startname=Tag! We're it...!|notes=Debut}}

== Numbers are off ==

The numbers for the amount of Pokémon with single and dual abilities still add up to 493, meaning they haven't been changed for Generation V [[User:FrankTheTank000|FrankTheTank000]] 20:52, 19 June 2011 (UTC)
:By the count we currently have in the article, 292 Pokémon have a single ability, therefore 357 Pokémon have a double ability. (We should really automate that with categories and the [[Template:PokémonInfobox|PokémonInfobox]] *cough* {{u|Werdnae}} *cough* .) This subtraction ''almost'' matches the data in the dual ability column; the total sum of the column is 715 but it should be 714. Does anyone have any idea why this number is inaccurate? I.e. is there some gimmick I've forgotten which lets a Pokémon have three non-DW abilities (excluding Basculin; I checked that already) or has the user who entered the data made a typo somewhere? —'''darklord[[User talk:The dark lord trombonator|trom]]''' 21:25, 19 June 2011 (UTC)

This no longer applies, apparently!
I was just wandering around the Desert Resort in Pokémon White 2 and encountered a wild Darmanitan. It was overlevelled (35) and when it appeared, it was complimented by a flash of purple diamonds. The game text said "A wild Darmanitan appeared!?". It had Zen Mode, its hidden ability. When I caught it, before it was sent to the PC, the game said something like "It seems the wild Darmanitan was different from regular Pokémon!" So yeah, it seems in BW2 there's a slight chance of a wild encounter with Pokémon with Hidden Abilities. [[User:Me, Hurray!|Me, Hurray!]] ([[User talk:Me, Hurray!|talk]]) 14:06, 14 October 2012 (UTC)

Is calling the families "Kanto-based", "Johto Based" etc, wouldn't it make more sense to list the headings as "Generation I-introduced families" instead?

== Nidoran family & EP sorting ==

I can't figure out how to do it. The Nidoran lines should be in a shared "Nidoran family"
Especially since both Nidoran can hatch from Nidoran female eggs, like it's the case with Illumise.

Oh and I have an idea.
There are 3 columns (1->2->3)
Wouldn't it make sense if pokemon would be sorted by amount of Effort points?
For example, this way,
Lapras(2EP) would be in the middle column like Shelgon,
Farfetch'd(1EP) would still be in the 1st column like Bagon,
while Lugia(3EP) would be in the last column, like Salamence.

An obvious example are Mantine and Skarmory. Right now Skarmory is above Mantyke. With the above sorting, Skarmory would be above Mantine since they both give 2 Effort Points.
--[[User:Saiph charon|Saiph charon]] 15:10, 28 April 2010 (UTC)

The reason Nidoran doesn't have a shared family is because the Group version of the lop/evo template doens't allow for evolutions. --[[User:Goldenpelt|Goldenpelt]] 22:35, 1 August 2010 (UTC)

== Not an evolution family! ==

First of all, though admittedly similar, Plusle and Minun are not an Evolution family, neither are Throh or Sawk. They are not gender couterparts and they do not share a basic form. Also if we are to carry on including Sawk and Throh in the same family, isn't calling it the "Geki" family misleading?

== sorting pokemon without 3 stages into columns by amount of EV ==

Anyone know how to move a pokemon 3 or 6 columns in, leaving empty space with background colour before it?

In order to move for example strong single-stage pokemon like Skarmory, Bouffalant etc. into the middle (an indicator for the column is the amount of EV pokemon give, since these range from 1 to 3, always going 1-2-3 on 3 stagers; in the case of Skarmory, it gives 2 EVs just like its counterpart Mantine who got a pre-evolution that gives 1EV, hence they're in different columns currently). It would just make sense (and even make likely candidates to get pre-evolutions easy to spot, which is interesting I thought)--[[User:Saiph charon|Saiph charon]] 18:25, 16 March 2012 (UTC)
:I actually think it looks fine as it is. I'm sure if they get an evolution or pre-evolution in the future they will be moved around. The Pokémon aren't in different columns based on their EV, they are based on the order they go in for their respective evolutionary lines. :) ''[[User:Frozen Fennec|Frozen]] [[User talk:Frozen Fennec|Fennec]]'' 18:44, 16 March 2012 (UTC)
::Obviously they would get moved around then, that wasn't my point, it would just be an interesting side-effect; I know they aren't sorted based on EVs. I wouldn't be suggesting it otherwise. The amount of EV a pokemon gives is directly related to its stage in the evolutionary family.--[[User:Saiph charon|Saiph charon]] 21:14, 16 March 2012 (UTC)

::::Wow that's odd. I wonder how that happened.
There is 1 other line that has weird EVs (Paras 1 -> Parasect 3), but this is a first. Regardless, the 2 exceptions are both obvious about what column they'd fit (unaffected). What I'm suggesting wouldn't make it any less good or correct, and the pre-evolution thing isn't the main reason (they can still simply decide to give something a pre-evo and then improve its EV like happened to Roselia 1->2), its also about adding the feeling of how strong a pokemon is.
If you came to this list and saw the likes of Heracross, Tropius and Skarmory in the middle column, unlike Delibird and Luvdisc who would be in the first, or all the legendaries in the final column, you would immediately understand that these start off as middle stage strong and aren't the average pokemon that you encounter in their weaker forms. It would just feel right. I'm not asking anyone to bother applying this cosmetic change, just point me towards something that will make me figure out more about how this all works with templates and such.--[[User:Saiph charon|Saiph charon]] 22:02, 17 March 2012 (UTC)

::::::I'm not talking about any future, I even said that twice already. Look, Tropius is middle stage strong in the present time, indicated by its stats, and more directly by amount of EV it gives. It directly relates to the stage in the evolution family. This is the only place where this can be shown (and the only place that it should) and does no harm to the info on it.--[[User:Saiph charon|Saiph charon]] 19:51, 20 March 2012 (UTC)
:::::::The list is not, never has been, and never will be about stats or EVs. They are irrelevant to this page. It is about evolutionary families, and when we have one entry because there are fewer entries in that row it should be on the left because the rest of the table is left aligned. It would be aesthetically displeasing to have the alignment scattered. [[User:Werdnae|Werdnae]] [[User talk:Werdnae|(talk)]] 06:36, 21 March 2012 (UTC)

==Trivia (Maybe)==
If I'm incorrect with this, I'm sorry, I haven't acquired Black or White yet.
However, from what I've seen here, Generation V doesn't expand any pre-existing families, which is something every generation has done before (except generation I for obvious reasons). This would make Generation V more unique and would be worthy of a trivia note. Though, I'm sure I'm just missing someone.[[User:~Polky|~Polky]] 22:55, 2 May 2012 (UTC)
:Actually, that peice of trivia is mentioned on the Generation V page already. ''Generation V is the first generation since Generation I not to introduce any baby Pokémon or cross-generational relatives'' is the text on that page. I don't see any harm mentioning it here if you decide to. [[User:Pokemaster97|--Pokemaster]][[User talk:Pokemaster97|97]] 23:08, 2 May 2012 (UTC)

== Legendaries and the idea of "families" ==

Why are a lot of the legendaries that do not evolve or morph considered in the same family? This brings up the question on what a family is considered here. I believe when talking about a family in Pokemon, we are not talking about who is related in the storyline or the scientific meaning to family, we are talking about physical evolutions or morphs. The legendary birds, etc. should not be considered in the same family as they are completely separate pokemon.

On top of all this, why do we even call them families? Is it because it is just the popular term? They have nothing to do with a family if in essence a Charmander that evolved into a Charmelion is the same exact being. On another note, it would be nice nowadays if Nintendo dropped the idea of saying they have 649+ pokemon when they really have around... I counted 328? The 649 turns a huge amount of people off, I would say it is one of the most complained about matters with the games.

==Possibly needs redirect?==
This page does not redirect from "List of Pokemon by evolution family". Seems like a bit of an inconsistency. --[[User:Cedrickc|Cedrickc]] ([[User talk:Cedrickc|talk]]) 07:06, 17 May 2013 (UTC)

Cedrickc: Asked for a redirect.

==Init.==
Why is Speed not the last stat in the list like it is in the video games? It would make it much easier to remember which column holds which stat after the headings scroll off the screen if they were presented in the same order as they are in the games. --[[User:Kitsunegami|Kitsunegami]] 00:57, 22 May 2008 (UTC)
:Yeah, I don't know why either. But right now it'd seriously be a pain to change it... '''[[User:TTEchidna|''TTE'']][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]]''' 04:09, 22 May 2008 (UTC)
::I've got the time if there are no objections to it. Speed is the last stat listed on Bulbpedia except on these large lists. Fixing them would make the whole site more consistent. --[[User:Kitsunegami|Kitsunegami]] 11:20, 26 May 2008 (UTC)
:::It would most definitely be appreciated if it were corrected. [[User:Podunk|Podunk]] 10:05, 5 October 2008 (UTC)

==Movelist Tables??==
Is there any chance we can do a slight revamp of this page, so that we have a movelist table for each individual stat by category? It's hard to keep in mind which column represents what once you've scrolled down to the pokemon you're looking for, so I thought this might be a good idea instead. It would be a page like "List of Pokémon by effort value yield#Speed_Yield"? I hope I'm explaining the idea correctly, I'm sorry if not. ^^; [[User:RWMVG1DC|RWMVG1DC]] 01:22, 15 December 2008 (UTC)

==Possible numeral system?==
I'm not sure whether this would have any use or relevance, but I was thinking of adding a quaternary numeral system for the tables, much like the binary numeral system, but thought I'd run the idea by here before I did anything else. [[User:Luke Davis|Luke Davis]] 19:47, 6 February 2009 (UTC)

:: I've tested a number of these values, and many are not the Gen 5 values. They were taken from the individual species pages, which are also inaccurate.

'''Lilligant''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ドレディア''' '' Dredear'') is a {{type|Grass}} Pokémon.

She [[Evolution|evolve]]s from {{p|Petilil}} when exposed to a {{evostone|Sun Stone}}.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Lilligant dons a red flower with white spotted petals upon her head; said flower has golden filament with red anther, resembling a crown. She possesses dark green, linear leaves under the flower, and light green, linear leaves underneath the darker leaves. One of the light green leaves, on the back of her head, is about as long as her body and resembles hair. Two light green leaves loosely hang down from her head. Her head and abdomen are white and her eyes, which resemble seeds, are a light shade of red. She has dark green, linear leaves for arms, and a golden {{wp|sepal}} under her neck. She wears a large, light green, {{wp|tulip}} shaped collection of leaves, resembling a dress. There are two long, dark green, linear leaves coming from her back to around the bottom of her "dress". She also possesses another golden, sepal-shaped extension underneath her "dress", resembling feet.

====Gender differences====
Lilligant is a female-only species with no male counterpart.

===Special abilities===
Lilligant has a flower-like crown on her head, which emits a sweet smelling aroma. It is believed to have a relaxing effect when exposed to the scent.

===Behavior===
Lilligant is popular with celebrities. It is very difficult to coax this Pokémon's flower to bloom; however, once it does, if the Lilligant is neglected the flower will wilt.

===Habitat===
Lilligant is a rare Pokémon that lives in the forests of Unova, especially in [[Pinwheel Forest]].

==Trivia==

===Origin===
Though Lilligant's flower is similar in appearance to the {{wp|hoya}} or {{wp|rafflesia}}, its relaxing smell makes it more likely to be based on either an {{wp|Orange (fruit)|orange}}, {{wp|pomelo}}, {{wp|mandarin orange}}, or {{wp|Dianthus|carnation's flowers}}, all of which are used in {{wp|essential oil}}s for {{wp|aromatherapy}}. Because of this, the leaves of its body may also have been based on other essential oil ingredients, such as {{wp|spearmint}} and/or {{wp|peppermint}}. Her crown and regal attire may be a reference to {{wp|1750–1795 in fashion#Women's fashion|high class or royal women's fashion in the late 1700's}}. She could also be based on a dancer, since she learns only moves with the word Dance in them via level up, excluding moves she knows from the start.

====Name origin====
Lilligant may be a combination of ''lily'' and ''elegant''.

Dredear may be a combination of ''dress'', ''dear'', ''lady'', and ''{{wp|Dianthus}}''.

Cedrickc: /* Base Stat */

== Ability name change ==
Why was the ability's name changed to Faint-Hearted? The page for the ability is still titled Timid (ability) so I'm goin to change it back to that on both this page and {{p|Aaken}}'s.--[[User:Alex726|'''Alex''''''726''']][[Special:Contributions/Alex726|'''contributions''']] 01:04, 21 October 2010 (UTC)

== Egg Group Trivia ==

''Despite Archeos and its pre-evolutionary stage being in the Water 3 egg group, they're unable to learn any Water-type moves.''

Unless I'm reading their pages wrong, neither can Lileep or Cradily. I say get rid of this line. [[User:Starscream|Starscream]] 16:55, 25 October 2010 (UTC)

== Artwork? ==
So the archelon has Dream World artwork and Archeos doesn't? There's no way that can be right..... [[User:Shiramu Kuromu|Shiramu Kuromu]] 00:35, 30 October 2010 (UTC)
: no that's normal...they'll be released sometime later [[User:Ataro|Ataro]] 00:37, 30 October 2010 (UTC)
::Are you talking about Aaken? Aaken is using the Ken Sugimori artwork, not Dream World. —♥ [[User:Jello|Jello]][[User Talk:Jello|talk]] 00:40, 30 October 2010 (UTC)

== Name Origin ==

The name probably came from Cheops, who was an ancient Egyptian Pharoh. His hierglyphs show a bird and a snake so I think it's quite likely.--[[User:Land0fChocolate|Land0fChocolate]] 15:25, 12 March 2011 (UTC)

The name actually probably comes form the ancient bird the Archaeopteryx {{unsigned|YANMEGAofEVIL}}

== Base Stat ==

Should it be included that Archeops has the highest Base Stat of non Legendarys and Psuedo-Legendarys not including Slaking? --[[User:Deviljho|Deviljho]] ([[User talk:Deviljho|talk]]) 20:30, 15 September 2012 (UTC)
:I'd say no, since second highest isn't particularly very notable. --[[User:Funktastic~!|It's Funktastic~!]] ([[User talk:Funktastic~!|talk]]) 20:33, 15 September 2012 (UTC)
::I personally disagree. Second highest is very noticeable when first highest comes with such a dramatic drawback. --[[User:Cedrickc|Cedrickc]] ([[User talk:Cedrickc|talk]]) 08:00, 15 April 2013 (UTC)

'''Archeops''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''アーケオス''' ''Archeos'') is a dual-type {{2t|Rock|Flying}} [[Fossil]] Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Archen}} starting at [[Level|level]] 37, after it is revived from a [[Cover and Plume Fossils|Plume Fossil]].

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Archeops is a large, flying creature that bears similarities to both birds and reptiles. Its featherless, scaly head is colored green on top and red on the bottom. Its body is covered with frayed-looking, yellowish feathers. It has blue feathers designed for flight on its arms and legs enabling all four of its limbs to act as wings, along with a ring of smaller green feathers on the ankles. All of these "wings" bear sharp claws. Similar to its head and neck, its tail is completely red and featherless except for a fan of blue feathers at the end, and as with the ''{{wp|Archaeopterygiformes}}'', it has fully-movable vertebrae in its tail instead of a {{wp|pygostyle}}. Its mouth is filled with sharp teeth. Its eyes are white with black pupils and no irises.

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

===Special abilities===
Unlike its flightless pre-evolution, Archeops is capable of flying, but is more adept at running. It can outrun even an automobile. It has the intelligence to work with its partners in order to catch prey.

===Behavior===
Archeops work with their partners in order to catch prey. They catch prey while running around at speeds faster than even an automobile. They take flight after making a running start on land.

===Habitat===
Archeops are believed to be extinct in the wild, so they have no habitat in current times.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}
Archeops are omnivorous. In addition to the Pokédex stating that they were hunters, they have been seen eating fruit in the anime.

==In the anime==
[[File:Archeops anime.png|thumb|250px|right|Archeops in the anime]]
===Major appearances===
Archeops debuted in ''[[BW036|Archeops In The Modern World!]]'', when it evolved from a revived female {{p|Archen}}.

===Minor appearances===
Multiple Archeops appeared in a flashback in ''[[BW075|A Restoration Confrontation! Part 1]]'' and ''[[BW076|A Restoration Confrontation! Part 2]]''.

==In the manga==
[[File:N Archeops Adventures.png|thumb|125px|right|Archeops in Pokémon Adventures]]
===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
[[N]] befriended an Archeops when it was an {{p|Archen}}. It took part in N's battle against [[Alder]].

==In the TCG==

==Trivia==
* Archeops is the only Pokémon that has a base stat total of 567.
** This makes Archeops the only evolved [[Fossil]] Pokémon whose base stat total is not 495.
** Archeops's base stat total matches its [[National Pokédex]] number. It is the only Pokémon to do this.
*** This number is also part of the {{wp|Dewey Decimal}} number 567.9; the number for feathered dinosaurs.
** Archeops's base stat total is also the highest among Pokémon that are neither legendary nor psuedo-legendary, with the exception of [[Slaking]] who is [[Truant]].

===Origin===
Archeops appears to draw inspiration from the {{wp|Microraptor}}, a small carnivorous dinosaur known for having wings both on its arms and legs, as well as the {{wp|Archaeopteryx}}, believed by scientists to be the earliest of all birds, also alluded by its species as a "First Bird" Pokémon. It also bears allusions to the {{wp|Feathered Serpent (deity)|Feathered Serpents}} of ancient {{wp|Mesoamerica}}n mythologies.

====Name origin====
Archeops and Archeos are derived from ''{{wp|Archaeopteryx}}'' and may be a combination of ''Archaeopteryx'' and ''{{wp|Khufu|Cheops}}'' (an ancient Egyptian pharaoh).

Talk:List of Pokémon by type

2013-04-14T21:23:26Z

Cedrickc: /* Need for this page */ Added another comment to the discussion.

==Redirect==
This page needs a redirect for people who type Pokémon "pokemon" (I think every single other page has one)! Every time I want to find this page, it tells me no such page exists until I open Word and do Insert > Special Character for the é, then copy-paste it into the search box in place of the non-accented e. Will someone pleeeeeease fix this? ♥ [[User:ILOVETOGETIC|Pokémaniac]] 02:41, 22 August 2010 (UTC)
:Done. Also, you can just type in a little bit and the search box will come up with suggestions. To make a redirect, type in the name of the page you wish to redirect, then click the red link at the top of the page, then insert <nowiki>#REDIRECT[[LINK LOCATION]]</nowiki> in it (where LINK LOCATION is the page you want to redirect to). To insert the é, you can hold down '''<sc>Alt</sc>''' and press '''<sc>0 2 3 3</sc>''' on the right number pad. Then release '''<sc>Alt</sc>''' and it should insert the character (there is another group of numbers you can use, but that's the one I use). --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 07:29, 24 August 2010 (UTC)

==Unused type combos==
Could you add the type combos which have as yet any pokemon appear? You still could use the tables as is, just use "none" for pokemon, then type1 and type2.[[User:Astromath|Astromath]] 16:09, 4 September 2010 (UTC)
:no, theres no point in doing that. -- '''[[User:MAGNEDETH|MAG]][[Special:Contributions/MAGNEDETH|NE]][[User talk:MAGNEDETH|DETH]]''' 16:21, 4 September 2010 (UTC)

== Type Ordering ==

Can someone please explain why the types are listed in this order:

Normal
Fighting
Flying
Poison
Ground
Rock
Bug
Ghost
Steel
Fire
Water
Electric
Psychic
Ice
Dragon
Dark

The ordering is messed up & completely wrong, the ordering used in the manual of Red/Blue, & the Diamond/Pearl Poketch type matchup application, & probably other official sources is this:

Normal
Fire
Water
Electric
Grass
Ice
Fighting
Poison
Ground
Flying
Psychic
Bug
Rock
Ghost
Dragon
Dark
Steel

Since this is the official ordering, should this not be the order Bulbapedia uses? If it is due to the former Physical/Special split then it really needs to be changed as it is 4 years out of date. [[User:Vuvuzela2010|Vuvuzela2010]] 21:16, 30 November 2010 (UTC)
:Ignore this, it has already been answered on the [[Elemental type]] page. [[User:Vuvuzela2010|Vuvuzela2010]] 11:12, 1 December 2010 (UTC)

== number of pokemon by type ==

on all of the individual type pages there is a count of how many pokemon have that type, but since the count includes both primary and secondary there are a large number of pokemon that are being double counted by those numbers. has anyone gone through and made a count without the secondaries included? [[User:B33f3r|B33f3r]] 03:43, 4 February 2012 (UTC)
:Why do you want to exclude Pokémon that have the type as a secondary type? Primary/secondary are meaningless. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 04:31, 4 February 2012 (UTC)
::If "primary"/"secondary" are menacing less then why include them in the list? [[User:Tacopill|Tacopill]] ([[User talk:Tacopill|talk]]) 00:36, 17 January 2013 (UTC)

== Need for this page ==
IMO this page works exactly like a category: it groups Pokémon based on an attribute that is not a primary key. I don't mind "List of Pokémon by X" pages, as long as X is a primary key (or at the very least exclusive to a small group of Pokémon each in the same way as [[list of Pokémon by height]]). I think the role of this page is fulfilled by {{cat|Pokémon by type}} and this page is unnecessary. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 05:27, 2 April 2013 (UTC)
:In my opinion, this pages must stay. There's no need for it to be warned for deletion. It's still useful. jlog3000 11:43, 2 April 2013 (UTC)
::Could you justify your opinion more than just "it's still useful"? Why and how is it useful? --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 11:59, 2 April 2013 (UTC)
:::When I meant that it's useful, I meant that the article itself can be expressed how each Pokémon are organized by type, without the necessity of being a category page since category pages cannot be expressed in table forms. jlog3000 12:18, 2 April 2013 (UTC)
::::This page definitely has a use for anybody who wants a *complete* list of Pokemon sorted by type, or on a mobile connection that reduces the speed of multiple connections. Additionally, if somebody were to make a Bulbapedia application, I could imagine it being used there as well. --[[User:Cedrickc|Cedrickc]] ([[User talk:Cedrickc|talk]]) 21:23, 14 April 2013 (UTC)
