Underleveled Pokémon

Celadonkey: /* Underleveled Pokémon from in-game trades */

{{split|individual lists for each generation|article}}
'''Underleveled Pokémon''' are {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that are at a lower [[level]] than is usually available via [[Evolution]].

==Overview==
Underleveled Pokémon first appeared as early as {{game|Red and Green|s}}, with level 4-6 {{p|Kakuna}} and {{p|Metapod}} available in [[Viridian Forest]]; Kakuna and Metapod cannot be obtained by evolution until level 7. Additionally, some [[non-player character]] {{pkmn|Trainer}}s use underleveled Pokémon in battle.

From Generations {{gen|I}} to {{gen|IV}}, Pokémon obtained in [[in-game trade]]s are always the same level as the one being traded away, so many underleveled Pokémon can be obtained through in-game trades. For example, in {{2v2|Red|Blue}} and {{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}}, it is possible to obtain an {{p|Electrode}} as low as level 3, even though the species evolves from {{p|Voltorb}} only at level 30 or above. This Electrode can be obtained by catching a {{p|Pikachu}} in [[Viridian Forest]] at level 3, evolving it with the [[Thunder Stone|Thunderstone]], and trading it on [[Cinnabar Island]].

In the [[Generation V]] games {{B2W2}}, the introduction of Easy Mode lowers the strengths and levels of Trainer Pokémon by a few levels. As a result, the decrease in level would lead to many Trainers having underleveled Pokémon, due to some of their Pokémon who evolve by level up being at the minimum level of evolution in normal mode. [[Phenomenon|Phenomena]] have a chance of triggering an encounter with the evolved form of a wild Pokémon native to the area, at around the same level as the other Pokémon in the area. This can cause underleveled Pokémon to be encountered, particularly in the earlier areas of the games, where the average levels of wild Pokémon are quite low.

In [[Generation VI]], the introduction of the [[Friend Safari]] had also presented the opportunity to encounter many underleveled Pokémon, as all wild Pokémon that appear there will be level 30.

In [[Generation VII]], the concept of [[SOS Battle]]s makes it possible for an evolved form of a Pokémon to appear alongside the pre-evolution of the Pokémon. This new type of battling, along with all Pokémon that can appear within an area all sharing the same level range, means that SOS battling can bring forth many underleveled Pokémon. [[Totem Pokémon]] are also underleveled in the early to mid stages of the game due to the Totem commonly being an evolved Pokémon.

In {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}}, Pokémon found in the Hideaways of the [[Grand Underground]] have their levels based on the amount of [[Badges]] the player has acquired. As having only one places the range at levels 16-20, and two leaving the range at 25-29, it is possible to find underleveled {{p|Houndoom}}, {{p|Gastrodon}}, {{p|Skuntank}} (only in Brilliant Diamond) and {{p|Purugly}} (only in Shining Pearl).

Some [[non-player character|NPC]] {{pkmn|Trainer}}s use underleveled Pokémon in battle. For example, [[Lance]] has three underleveled {{p|Dragonite}} in Generations {{gen|II}} and {{gen|IV}}, with one being at level 50 and two at level 49 in {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}} (Dragonite does not evolve naturally from {{p|Dragonair}} until level 55). Many other in-game Trainers, such as [[Mars]] and [[Jupiter]], also possess underleveled Pokémon.

An application of the [[Pomeg glitch]] in {{v2|Emerald}} makes it possible to evolve a Pokémon while it is still inside an {{pkmn|Egg}}, allowing any such evolved forms to be obtained at level 5. In [[Generation IV]], this particular exploit of the Pomeg glitch was fixed; the Pomeg glitch was removed entirely in [[Generation V]].

==Underleveled wild Pokémon==
* The dagger symbol (†) next to the minimum level indicates that this Pokémon evolves through different means than reaching a specific level; therefore, its minimum level is inherited from its previous form.
* The asterisk symbol (*) next to the game abbreviation indicates that multiple games are required to obtain this Pokémon at that level.

===Generation IX===
In [[Generation IX]] [[Incense]]s are no longer needed for [[Baby Pokémon]] to hatch, therefore most evolved forms of incense-produced baby transfered from previous generations can be underleveled.

==Underleveled Pokémon from in-game trades==
Prior to [[Generation V]], since the {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} received in an in-game trade is the same [[level]] as the Pokémon traded for it, it is sometimes possible to receive a Pokémon at a lower level than normally possible.

In addition, some in-game trade Pokémon in later generations with fixed levels are also underleveled.

==Underleveled Pokémon from Pokémon GO==
Due to the way levels and evolution work in [[Pokémon GO]], most Pokémon in the game can be obtained at levels as low as level 1, which can then be transferred to {{g|HOME}}. In Pokémon GO, a Pokémon's starting [[power up]] level is affected by how it is obtained, with some methods allowing extremely low levels. Pokémon can be evolved without ever powering them up, so if a Pokémon can be obtained at a particular level in GO, so can all of its evolved forms (that it can evolve into in Pokémon GO).

Any Pokémon that can be encountered in the wild can be encountered at levels between 1 and 35 (with the maximum depending on the player's [[Trainer level]] and the weather). While [[Legendary Pokémon]] usually cannot be encountered in the wild (usually being exclusive to Raids, {{OBP|Research|GO}} rewards, or [[Team GO Rocket]] Boss [[Giovanni]]), some have been made available in the wild—in particular:
* {{p|Uxie}}, {{p|Mesprit}}, and {{p|Azelf}} during 2019, as well as during Sinnoh Fest.
* {{p|Raikou}}, {{p|Entei}}, and {{p|Suicune}} during {{DL|Ticketed event (GO)|Pokémon GO Tour: Johto}}
* {{p|Latios}} and {{p|Latias}} during {{DL|Ticketed event (GO)|Pokémon GO Tour: Hoenn}}
* {{p|Articuno}}, {{p|Zapdos}} and {{p|Moltres}} after completing an Elite Raid during certain [[Elite Raid Day]]s
* Galarian {{p|Articuno}}, {{p|Zapdos}} and {{p|Moltres}} via the [[Daily Adventure Incense]]
* {{p|Meltan}} by using the [[Mystery Box]] (and consequently, its evolved form {{p|Melmetal}})

When a Pokémon is {{GO|trade}}d, its level is capped at its new Trainer's level + 2. Since trading is unlocked at Trainer level 10, this means that all tradeable Pokémon in GO can be as low as level 12 after trading. Most Pokémon can be traded, except [[Mythical Pokémon]] (other than {{p|Meltan}} and {{p|Melmetal}}) and [[Shadow Pokémon]] (which cannot be transferred to HOME until after being purified, which changes their level).

Pokémon hatched from {{pkmn|Egg}}s match the player's Trainer level at the time its Egg was obtained, capped at level 20. As a result, Pokémon exclusive to Eggs (such as [[baby Pokémon]]) can only be obtained at low levels (i.e. below 20) by players with low Trainer levels.

Pokémon obtained in {{GO|Raid Battle}}s are level 20 (or level 25 with weather boost), so Pokémon exclusive to Raid Battles (which includes several Legendary Pokémon and Mythical Pokémon) cannot be lower than level 20 without trading.

Pokémon obtained as {{GO|Research}} rewards (including [[Research Breakthrough]]s) are always level 15, so Pokémon obtainable this way can be as low as level 15. This includes several Legendary Pokémon, Mythical Pokémon, and Ultra Beasts.

Upon purification, a [[Purified Pokémon]]'s level increases to be equal to the player's Trainer level (unless it was already higher than that level), capped at level 25. Since the player can first encounter [[Team GO Rocket]] at level 8, Pokémon that can obtained as [[Shadow Pokémon]] can be as low as level 8 if purified by a Trainer with a low Trainer level.

==Trivia==
* The most underleveled Trainer Pokémon is [[Mars]]'s {{p|Purugly}}, which is 22{{sup/4|DP}} or 21{{sup/4|Pt}} levels lower than its [[List of Pokémon that evolve at or above a certain level|required evolution level]].
* The level 5 {{p|Ralts}} that [[Wally]] encounters in [[Generation III]] and [[Generation VI]] is overleveled, as only level 4 and 3 Ralts appear on [[Hoenn Route 102]] in Generation III and Generation VI respectively. Due to this, Wally's first Pokémon had the same level as the first Pokémon the player obtains.
* In the {{Trading Card Game}}, the cards [[Pichu (Wizards Promo 35)]], [[Magby (Chikorita Side Deck)]], and [[Pichu (Totodile Side Deck)]] were underleveled at the time of their release, as Pokémon hatched from Eggs at level 5 prior to [[Generation IV]].

Multi Battle

2024-06-24T21:55:17Z

Celadonkey: /* Pokémon Legends: Arceus */

[[File:SwSh Prerelease Multi Battle.png|thumb|300px|Fighting two {{tc|Team Yell Grunt}}s in a Multi Battle in [[Pokémon Sword and Shield]]]]

A '''Multi Battle''' (Japanese: '''マルチバトル''' ''Multi Battle''), usually referred to as a '''Tag Battle''' (Japanese: '''タッグバトル''' ''Tag Battle'') in the anime, is a type of [[Double Battle]] in which each of the four Pokémon is controlled by a separate [[Pokémon Trainer]].

Starting with [[Generation III]], Multi Battles occur when the {{player}} has teamed up with another Trainer. If the player has teamed up with another Trainer as part of the storyline, their Pokémon total as well as that of their opponents may exceed the limit of six Pokémon per team imposed by [[party]] restrictions for other types of [[Pokémon battle]].

In [[Generation VI|Generations VI]] and [[Generation VII|VII]], Multi Battles allow a player to [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] a Pokémon even if their partner has already done so during the same battle.

In [[Generation VII]], like with Mega Evolution, a player may use a [[Z-Move]] even if their teammate has already done so during the same battle.

In [[Generation VIII]], each team may only [[Dynamax]] or [[Gigantamax]] once per battle. Each turn, only one specific player from each team is given the opportunity to Dynamax a Pokémon; if a player skips their opportunity to use Dynamax, then their teammate will get the opportunity to on the next turn.

==In the games==
===Multi Battle mode===
[[File:Battle Commanders.png|thumb|220px|A Multi Battle in Generation IV]]
In [[Generation III]], up to four players can battle with each other in a Multi Battle via [[Game Link Cable]] by choosing the "Multi Battle" mode in the Pokémon Cable Club Colosseum. Players decide which side to battle. This is the only way to have a Multi Battle in {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}} and {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}

In [[Generation IV]], the Pokémon Cable Club Colosseum was renamed to the Pokémon Communication Club Colosseum, but Multi Battles can still be conducted by selecting "Multi Battle".

In [[Generation V]], Multi Battles can be conducted through the IR section of the [[C-Gear]], and you can select an opponent and pair with somebody through the IR function.

In [[Generation VI]], the player accesses Multi Battles with the [[Player Search System]]'s Battle option. After selecting a connection type, the player must then change the number of players to four, and select three other players on the touch screen.

====Quotes====
'''Pokémon Center Receptionist'''
:"Multi Battle is for four Trainers with one or more Pokémon each."
:"Each Trainer can have one Pokémon in battle at a time."

===Battle facilities===
Since {{game|Emerald}}, Multi Battles have been possible in [[Battle facility|battle facilities]].

* In Emerald, in the {{Gdis|Battle Tower|III}} during the Multi Battle mode the player can team up with either an [[Non-player character|NPC]] (including the [[apprentice]]) or a friend via [[Game Link Cable]] or [[Game Boy Advance Wireless Adapter]]
* In {{game5|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, in the {{si|Battle Tower}} during the Multi Battle mode the player can team up with either another player via DS Wireless Communication or with one of the [[stat Trainers]] ([[Cheryl]], [[Mira]], [[Riley]], [[Marley]], and [[Buck]]). In Sinnoh, these partner Trainers will only appear after the player finishes exploring with them in their areas.
* In {{game|Black and White|s}}, in the [[Battle Subway]] on the Multi Train the player can team up with either another player via DS Wireless Communication or with {{ga|Hilbert}}/{{ga|Hilda}}.
* In [[Pokémon Black and White Versions 2|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2]], in the [[Battle Subway]] on the Multi Train the player can team up with either another player via DS Wireless Communication or with {{ga|Nate}}/{{ga|Rosa}}.
* In {{g|X and Y}}, in the [[Battle Maison]] during the Multi Battle mode the player can team up with either another player via 3DS Wireless Communication, an NPC avatar of another player on the player's Friend List, or with [[Tierno]], [[Trevor]], or [[Shauna]].
* In {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, in the Battle Maison during the Multi Battle mode the player can team up with either another player via 3DS Wireless Communication, {{ga|Brendan}}/{{ga|May}}, [[Wally]], {{Steven}}, or [[Maxie]]{{sup/6|OR}}/[[Archie]]{{sup/6|AS}}.

Additionally, in Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon, they can also pair with [[Lillie]] after completing [[Episode RR]].

===Pokémon Legends: Arceus===
{{incomplete|section|Foes not targeted have a chance of not moving (i.e. "looking around"). How does this mechanic work?}}
In [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]], Multi Battles work much differently than they do in other games. The player will always be restricted to using one Pokémon at a time, while facing off against several foes simultaneously. In the wild, this can happen if the player initiates a battle while being targeted by multiple wild Pokémon. In certain Trainer battles, the opponent will send out all of their Pokémon at once.

In addition, there are no moves that can target multiple foes. Unlike in previous games, moves like {{m|Rock Slide}} and {{m|Bulldoze}} can only hit one target per turn.

Since the Version 1.1.0 update, there are several challenges that may involve testing the player's skill in Multi Battles, which are available after completing Request 102: Daybreak.
* In the [[Path of Solitude]], [[Ingo]] will send out three Pokémon if the player uses {{p|Dialga}}, {{p|Palkia}}, {{p|Giratina}}, or {{p|Arceus}}.
* In the [[Path of Tenacity]], a challenge against the [[Diamond Clan]] or [[Pearl Clan]] involve completing three consecutive Multi Battles.
* In the [[Eternal Battle Reverie]], the player may face off against two or three foes at once in a Multi Battle.

==In the anime==
===Main series===
[[File:Tag Battle anime.png|thumb|250px|{{Ash}} and {{an|Dawn}} ready for a Tag Battle]]
[[File:Tag Battle HZ005.png|thumb|250px|A Tag Battle in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]
While {{Ash}} has been involved in many "illegal" Tag Battles conducted by {{TRT}} long before the concept was introduced to the {{pkmn|games}}, his first official Tag Battle was in ''[[AG072|The Bicker the Better]]'', when he teamed up with {{an|May}} to battle against [[Oscar and Andi]]. At first, Ash had gotten into an argument with May but ended up making up with her and becoming in sync with her during battle.

[[Hearthome City]] has its own special tournament known as the [[Hearthome City Tag Battle Competition]], which took place from ''[[DP050|Tag! We're It...!]]'' to ''[[DP052|Smells Like Team Spirit!]]''. Tag teams are chosen randomly, with each Trainer receiving a card with a number on it and partnering with the Trainer whose number is paired with their number. The tournament was entered by Ash, Dawn, and Brock, who were respectively paired with [[Paul]], [[Conway]], and [[Holly]]. Ash and Paul managed to win the tournament despite working very poorly together.

Ash and {{an|Dawn}} have teamed up on numerous occasions over the course of ''[[Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl]]''. Their first Tag Battle together took place in ''[[DP029|The Champ Twins!]]'' when they faced off against [[Ryan and Bryan]]. They initially had trouble working in sync, but after both of them acknowledged their flaws, their teamwork improved and they managed to defeat the twin brothers in a rematch.

In ''[[DP147|Bagged Then Tagged!]]'', Ash and Dawn had a Tag Battle against {{an|Lyra}} and [[Khoury]] inside the {{DL|Lilypad Town|Lilypad Colosseum}}. They managed to defeat the [[Johto]] {{pkmn|Trainer}}s despite the unexpected [[evolution]] of [[Khoury's Totodile]]. While visiting [[Emeragrove Town]] in ''[[DP054|Once There Were Greenfields]]'', Ash and Dawn paired up to battle [[James]] and [[Gardenia]]. Using their {{AP|Aipom}} and {{TP|Dawn|Pachirisu}} against [[James's Cacnea]] and Gardenia's {{p|Turtwig}}, they won the match.

Ash and {{an|Brock}} have also been shown to work well together as a team. In ''[[DP076|A Full Course Tag Battle!]]'', the two went up against the owners of the [[Seven Stars Restaurant]], [[Roman]] and [[Kylie]]. Their cooperation proved successful and they managed to win the battle. In the same episode, May and Dawn teamed up and were also victorious in their Tag Battle. In ''[[DP063|Hot Springing a Leak!]]'', Dawn and her childhood friend [[Leona]] went up against Ash and Brock. Their battle ended in a draw.

In ''[[BW051|Lost at the Stamp Rally!]]'', Ash and {{an|Cilan}} fought in a Tag Battle against [[Ingo]] and [[Emmet]], which Ash and Cilan lost despite fighting excellently. In ''[[BW063|Evolution Exchange Excitement!]]'', Ash and Cilan battled and won against {{an|Bianca}} and [[Professor Juniper]]. Ash and Cilan also fought together in a Tag Battle against two brothers named [[Soren and Rocko]] in ''[[BW099|A Surface to Air Tag Battle Team!]]'' and managed to win here as well. In ''[[BW109|New Places... Familiar Faces!]]'', Ash and [[Nanette]] battled against Iris and Cilan, though the battle was interrupted by Team Rocket in their attempt to capture Pikachu.

In ''[[XY090|Tag Team Battle Inspiration!]]'', Ash and Tierno partnered up against Serena and Shauna, but the battle was called off.

In ''[[XY105|Party Dancecapades!]]'', [[Monsieur Pierre]] prepared a surprise Tag Battle for the {{pkmn|Performer}}s attending his dance party. Entrants were given a card upon registration, and four of these cards had a special mark so the people who received them would take part in a Tag Battle. The special cards ended up with Ash, Serena, [[Miette]], and [[James]], and they faced off near the end of the party, with the team of Ash and Serena emerging victorious.

In ''[[SM043|When Regions Collide!]]'', {{an|Lana}} and {{an|Mallow}} had a Multi Battle against {{an|Misty}}, while {{an|Sophocles}} and {{an|Lillie}} had a Multi Battle against {{an|Brock}}. However, both of these battles were called off.

In ''[[SM070|The Young Flame Strikes Back!]]'', {{an|Kiawe}} had a Multi Battle against [[Viren]] and [[Viren's henchmen|his henchmen]], but he ended up losing the battle.

In ''[[JN113|Chasing to the Finish!]]'', [[Goh]] and {{Gary}} had a Multi Battle against [[Sterling]] and [[Lyla]] at the [[Split-Decision Ruins]], competing for the right to {{pkmn2|Caught|catch}} {{p|Regieleki}} and {{p|Regidrago}}. Goh and Gary's teamwork eventually prevailed, allowing them to challenge the [[legendary giants]].

Tag Battles have been featured in a few [[Pokémon movie]]s as well. In ''[[M07|Destiny Deoxys]]'', Ash visited the [[LaRousse City]] [[Battle Tower]] where he battled alongside [[Tory Lund|Tory]] against [[Sid]] and [[Rafe]]. Due to Tory's fear of Pokémon and lack of battling experience, he and Ash ended up losing the match. In ''[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]'', Ash and Dawn defeated [[Kiko]] and [[Kato]] using their {{AP|Pikachu}} and {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}} against a {{p|Beautifly}} and {{p|Heracross}}.

In ''[[HZ005|Found You, Fuecoco!]]'', [[Orla]] and [[Murdock]] participated in a Tag Battle using {{p|Metagross}} and {{p|Rockruff}}, respectively, against [[Zirc]] and [[Onia]], who used {{p|Rhydon}} and {{p|Golduck}}. Despite doing their best, they were defeated by their opponents.

In ''[[HZ020|Kabu's Battle Training!]]'', [[Liko]] and [[Roy]] participated in a Multi Battle using {{TP|Liko|Sprigatito}} and {{TP|Roy|Fuecoco}}, respectively, against [[Kabu]] and {{OBP|Wakaba|HZ020}}, who used {{p|Centiskorch}} and {{p|Rolycoly}}, at the [[Motostoke Stadium]]. Roy ended up being defeated by Kabu, while Liko forfeited despite doing well, much to everyone's surprise.

In [[HZ036]], Liko and Roy participated in a Tag Battle using Sprigatito and Fuecoco, respectively, against [[Yuno]] and [[Renta]], who used their respective {{p|Oinkologne}}, in [[Pigton Town]], though, the results remain unknown.

In [[HZ043]], Liko and Roy participated in a Multi Battle using Sprigatito and Fuecoco, respectively, against [[Coral]] and [[Sidian]], who used {{p|Glalie}} and {{p|Garganacl}}. The battle was interrupted when the two [[Explorers]] received a call urging them to go back to fulfilling their top-priority mission.

===Pokémon Evolutions===
[[File:Mars Jupiter Tag Battle Evolutions.png|thumb|250px|[[Mars]] and [[Jupiter]] ready for a Multi Battle]]
In ''[[PE05|The Rival]]'', {{ga|Barry}} and {{ga|Lucas}} had a Multi Battle against [[Mars]] and [[Jupiter]] at the [[Spear Pillar]]. Using their {{p|Empoleon}} and {{p|Infernape}} against [[Mars's Purugly]] and Jupiter's {{p|Skuntank}}, they won the match.

==In the manga==
===Pokémon Adventures===
[[File:Multi Battle Adventures.png|thumb|250px|A Multi Battle in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
===={{MangaArc|Ruby & Sapphire}}====
The first official Multi Battle was featured in ''[[PS248|The Beginning of the End with Kyogre & Groudon X]]'', where {{adv|Ruby}} and {{adv|Sapphire}} took on [[Archie]] and [[Maxie]] in [[Seafloor Cavern]]. Although they were able to defeat the {{cat|villainous team leaders}}, they were unable to retrieve the [[Red Orb|Red]] and [[Blue Orb]]s from them before they could merge with their holders.

===={{MangaArc|FireRed & LeafGreen}}====
In ''[[PS289|Surprised by Sneasel]]'' and ''[[PS290|A Well-Journeyed Jumpluff]]'', {{adv|Silver}} and {{adv|Yellow}} faced [[Sird]] and [[Orm]] of [[Team Rocket]] in a Multi Battle in [[Viridian City]]. Orm's {{p|Jumpluff}} surrounded the two [[Pokédex holder]]s with a cloud of spores that could cause any kind of [[status condition]], making it impossible for them to send out a Pokémon without it getting a status condition the instant it came out. Yellow, however, used her ability to control the [[Poké Ball]] at the end of her fishing line to move her {{p|Omastar}}, [[Omny]], outside of the spore cloud and then unleash it to use {{m|Blizzard}}, instantly {{status|freezing}} both Jumpluff and the spores. As the two Team Rocket members then kidnapped Silver and escaped with him, the battle was left unresolved.

===={{MangaArc|Diamond & Pearl}}====
In ''[[PS361|Bombastic Bibarel & Heroic Hippopotas]]'', {{adv|Diamond}} and {{adv|Pearl}} battled and defeated {{tc|Gentleman}} Leonardo and {{tc|Madame|Socialite}} Rebecca at the [[Seven Stars Restaurant]].

In ''[[PS381|Vexing Vespiquen & Unmanageable Mothim]]'', Diamond and [[Riley]] battled two {{tc|Roughneck}}s on [[Iron Island]]. While Riley and his {{TP|Riley|Lucario}} were temporarily incapacitated by the Roughnecks blinding them and disabling their [[Aura]] sense with their {{p|Mothim}}'s {{m|Air Slash}}, Diamond was able to handle the two opponents by himself and stop Mothim from using Air Slash, allowing Riley to reenter the battle and deal the finishing blow.

===={{MangaArc|Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire}}====
In ''[[PS607|Blastoise Transforms]]'', {{adv|Red}} and {{adv|Green}} teamed up in a Multi Battle against Archie and Maxie, with all four Trainers utilizing [[Mega Evolution]]. Although Red and Green [[PS608|eventually]] won the battle, Archie and Maxie still succeeded in making {{DL|Super-ancient Pokémon (Adventures)|Kyogre}} and {{DL|Super-ancient Pokémon (Adventures)|Groudon}} undergo [[Primal Reversion]] in the meantime.

In the aforementioned chapter, Ruby and Emerald also briefly engaged [[Blaise]] and {{adv|Amber}} in a Multi Battle, but they were soon caught in Blaise's {{p|Slugma}}'s illusions, allowing the villains to slip away.

===Pokémon Journeys: The Series===
[[File:Ash Goh Tag Battle JNM.png|thumb|300px|A Tag Battle in {{ma|Pokémon Journeys: The Series}}]]
{{Ash}} and [[Goh]] participated in a Tag Battle against [[Rose]] and [[Oleana]] in ''[[JNM14|Sword and Shield... The Legends Awaken! (Part 2)]]''. The two managed to defeat the villains after their {{p|Riolu}} and {{p|Raboot}} evolved into {{AP|Lucario}} and {{TP|Goh|Cinderace}}, respectively.
{{-}}

==Trivia==
* When battling alongside {{Steven}} in {{game|Emerald}}, his Pokémon are shown to gain [[experience]] after the defeat of an opponent Pokémon. This does not happen to a partner's Pokémon in the Multi Battles of later [[generation]]s.
** If the player brings a team of three Pokémon that all use {{m|Self-Destruct}} or {{m|Explosion}}, then all experience will be granted to Steven's Metang. If this is performed on all opposing Pokémon in this battle, then Steven's Metang can earn enough experience to level up once. If a cheating device is used to level up Metang enough so it will evolve after the battle, it will trigger the evolution screen where the player can watch it evolve into a {{p|Metagross}}. Doing so will register Metagross as "caught" by the player whenever or not the player already had one.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NC61os9NKUI "I Tested UNCONFIRMED Pokemon Facts 2" - BlueBoyPhin - YouTube]</ref>.
** Having the player's party be defeated in the Multi Battle with Steven will cause the player to [[black out|white out]] whenever or not Steven still has Pokémon left. This was also changed in [[Generation IV]], where a white-out will not occur until both the player's and the partner's Pokémon are all knocked out.
** The player and Steven are both limited to three Pokémon each, unlike later generations where the player and all allies can combine their teams to use more than six Pokémon in total. Defeating Steven's Pokémon also rewards experience for the player and they can use items on his Pokémon. This is not possible in later generations.
* The Multi Battle against [[Mars]] and [[Jupiter]] in all the [[Sinnoh]]-based games and the battle against [[Flint]] and [[Volkner]] in {{game|Platinum}} have the potential to be twelve-on-six fights, due to {{ga|Barry}}'s full [[party]].

Pokédex entry recycling

2024-06-16T15:29:21Z

Celadonkey: /* Generation III */

{{incomplete|needs=Anime and Manga sections}}
{{merge|Pokédex entry}}
'''[[Pokédex entry]] recycling''' refers to the same Pokémon text descriptions from the [[Pokédex]] being reused in multiple games and other media.

==In the core series games==
[[File:Pokédex Entry SV.png|thumb|300px|{{p|Pikachu}}'s entry in [[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet]], whose text was originally from [[Pokémon Red and Blue]]]]

Some games share the same Pokédex entries about certain Pokémon (in particular, some [[remake]]s reuse most or all entries from the remade games).

===Generation I===
* The Japanese games {{game|Red and Green|s}} share the same Pokédex entries, which were originally left untranslated in English until they were reused in later games.
* The Japanese {{jpn|Pokémon Blue Version|Pokémon Blue}} introduced new Pokédex entries, which were translated into English and shared by {{game|Red and Blue|s}}.
* In {{game|Yellow}}, no Pokédex entries were reused from previous games.

===Generation II===
* In {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}, no Pokédex entries were reused from previous games. Each Pokémon species has a different entry in those games.

===Generation III===
* In {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}, there are no Pokédex entries reused from previous games. The Pokémon in the {{gdis|List of Pokémon by Hoenn Pokédex number|III|Generation III Hoenn Pokédex}} have separate entries in each game. All other Pokémon share the same entry in both games.
* {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} were the first [[core series]] games with Pokédex entries reused from previous games.
** The [[Generation I]] Pokémon had their FireRed entries reused from Japanese {{game|Red and Green|s}}, making this the first time when those entries were translated into English; their LeafGreen entries were reused from {{game|Red and Blue|s}}, originally from Japanese [[Pokémon Blue Version (Japanese)|Pokémon Blue]].
** The [[Generation II]] Pokémon had their FireRed entries reused from [[Pokémon Gold and Silver Versions|Pokémon Silver]]; their LeafGreen entries were reused from [[Pokémon Gold and Silver Versions|Pokémon Gold]].
** The [[Generation III]] Pokémon have new Pokédex entries in FireRed and LeafGreen, each Pokémon sharing the same entry between both games, except {{p|Deoxys}}, which has a different entry in each game.
* In {{game|Emerald}}, the Pokémon in the {{gdis|List of Pokémon by Hoenn Pokédex number|III|Generation III Hoenn Pokédex}} have a new entry. All other Pokémon reuse the entry shared by Ruby and Sapphire.
** None of the Pokédex entries from Emerald have been reused in any other game thus far, possibly due to their length.

===Generation IV===
* In {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}, there are no English Pokédex entries reused from previous games.
** In Japanese, {{p|Parasect}} has the only reused Pokédex entry, having the same text in Pearl that was previously used in LeafGreen and Blue. However, Parasect's English Pokédex entry in Pearl was translated with different wording than the one used in previous games.
** In Pokémon Diamond and Pearl, the Pokémon available in the [[List of Pokémon by Sinnoh Pokédex number|Sinnoh Pokédex]], as well as Parasect, {{p|Darkrai}}, {{p|Shaymin}}, and {{p|Arceus}}, have different Pokédex entries in each game. All other Pokémon share a single entry in both games.
* In {{game|Platinum}}, all [[Generation IV]] Pokémon and all Pokémon available in the [[List of Pokémon by Sinnoh Pokédex number|Sinnoh Pokédex]] (which was expanded with more Pokémon than in previous games) have a new Pokédex entry.
** {{p|Parasect}} reuses the Pokédex entry from Diamond.
** All other Pokémon reuse the entry shared by Diamond and Pearl.
* In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, all Pokémon that appeared in Gold and Silver have their Pokédex entries reused in HeartGold and SoulSilver, respectively. Pokémon introduced in Generation III or Generation IV have new Pokédex entries.
** The five Pokémon introduced in Generation IV that appear in the [[List of Pokémon by Johto Pokédex number|Johto Pokédex]] ({{p|Ambipom}}, {{p|Tangrowth}}, {{p|Yanmega}}, {{p|Mamoswine}}, and {{p|Lickilicky}}) have new entries that are different between the two games, while all other Pokémon introduced in Generation III or Generation IV share a single entry in both games.

===Generation V===
* In {{game|Black and White|s}}, all Pokémon in the [[List of Pokémon by Unova Pokédex number (Black and White)|original version of the Unova Pokédex]] (entirely consisting of [[Generation V]] Pokémon) have new Pokédex entries that are different between those two games.
** All Pokémon from Generations I–IV reuse their entries from {{game|Platinum}} (effectively reusing entries introduced in Diamond and Pearl for several Generation I–III Pokémon which were excluded from Platinum's [[List of Pokémon by Sinnoh Pokédex number|Sinnoh Pokédex]]).
* In {{B2W2}}, all Pokémon in the {{OBP|List of Pokémon by Unova Pokédex number|Black 2 and White 2|extended version of the Unova Pokédex}} (including all [[Generation V]] Pokémon as well as several Pokémon from earlier generations) have new entries that are the same in both games.
** All other Pokémon reuse the entries shared by Pokémon Platinum, Black and White, except some entries have minor wording changes.

===Generation VI===
* In {{g|X and Y}}, all [[Generation VI]] Pokémon have new Pokédex entries that are different between those two games.
** The Pokémon from earlier generations have entries reused from several games.
* In {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, only {{p|Kyogre}}, {{p|Groudon}}, {{p|Rayquaza}}, and {{p|Hoopa}} have new entries, which are different between those two games.
** All other Pokémon from Generations {{gen|I}}-{{gen|III}} reuse their entries from {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}, respectively.
** All other Pokémon from Generations {{gen|IV}}-{{gen|VI}} reuse their entries from {{g|X and Y}}, respectively.

===Generation VII===
* In {{pkmn|Sun and Moon|Pokémon Sun, Moon}}, {{pkmn|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon}}, only the Pokémon and alternate forms available in the Alola Pokédex have Pokédex entries. All of the Pokédex entries in the games are new. The [[List of Pokémon by Alola Pokédex number (Sun and Moon)|original version]] of this [[regional Pokédex]] appears in Sun and Moon, and the [[List of Pokémon by Alola Pokédex number (Sun and Moon)|expanded version]] in Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon.
** The same Pokédex entry is shared by {{p|Buzzwole}}, {{p|Xurkitree}}, and {{p|Guzzlord}} in Ultra Sun, and by {{p|Pheromosa}}, {{p|Celesteela}}, and {{p|Kartana}} in Ultra Moon. All other available Pokémon (and many alternate forms) have different entries between each game.
* In {{LGPE}}, only the Pokémon in the [[List of Pokémon by Kanto Pokédex number|Kanto Pokédex]] (with the addition of {{p|Meltan}} and {{p|Melmetal}} in this generation) are available in-game and have Pokédex entries. The [[Mega Evolution]]s and [[Alolan form]]s of those Pokémon have separate entries as well. All of the entries are shared between the two games.
** Most Pokémon have their entries reused from {{game|Yellow}}, though {{p|Arcanine}}'s Pokédex entry is adjusted to say that this Pokémon is legendary in the East (instead of legendary in China).
** There are new entries for {{p|Pikachu}}, {{p|Eevee}}, and the Pokémon and forms introduced after [[Generation I]].

===Generation VIII===
* In {{g|Sword and Shield}}, the Pokémon in the [[List of Pokémon by Galar Pokédex number|Galar Pokédex]], [[List of Pokémon by Isle of Armor Pokédex number|Isle of Armor Pokédex]], or [[List of Pokémon by Crown Tundra Pokédex number|Crown Tundra Pokédex]] have Pokédex entries available in-game. There are also [[List of Pokémon by Galar Pokédex number#Compatible Pokémon not in any Galar Pokédex|some Pokémon]] obtainable in Sword and Shield that are not present in any of the three Pokédex listings that have no entries seen in-game, but some of them have entries in [[Pokémon HOME]] associated with Sword and Shield nonetheless.
** There are new entries (either in-game or in HOME) for all available Pokémon and alternate forms introduced in [[Generation IV]] or later, and for all available [[Legendary Pokémon]] regardless of when they were introduced. Most of the available Pokémon introduced prior to Generation IV have entries reused from several games, but some of those Pokémon have new entries as well.
** Pokémon exclusive to the [[Isle of Armor]] or [[Crown Tundra]] have new Pokédex entries, regardless of when those Pokémon were introduced, with the exception of the {{p|Bulbasaur}} and {{p|Squirtle}} evolutionary families.
** All Pokédex entries (both in-game and in HOME) are different between Sword and Shield.
* In {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}}, every Pokédex entry is taken from Diamond and Pearl respectively, though some of them feature wording changes.
* In {{g|Legends: Arceus}}, no Pokédex entries are reused from previous games, as they are written in first person by [[Professor Laventon]].

===Generation IX===
* In {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}, Pokémon in the [[List of Pokémon by Paldea Pokédex number|Paldea Pokédex]], [[List of Pokémon by Kitakami Pokédex number|Kitakami Pokédex]], and [[List of Pokémon by Blueberry Pokédex number|Blueberry Pokédex]] have entries. Pokémon introduced in Generation VI or later have new Pokédex entries, as do some Pokémon introduced before Generation VI. All entries differ between the two games.
** Regional forms not found in [[Paldea]], [[Kitakami]], or the [[Terarium]] are not included in the respective Pokédexes.
** Prior to the release of [[The Indigo Disk]], [[Pokémon HOME]] featured different placeholder Pokédex entries for {{p|Walking Wake}} and {{p|Iron Leaves}}. These were the only entries to be shared between Scarlet and Violet.
** Pokémon with reused Pokédex entries have their entries reused from several games.

==In the side series games==
===Pokémon Stadium series===
{{main|Pokédex (Stadium)}}

The Pokédex entries introduced in {{jpn|Pokémon Stadium|Japanese Pokémon Stadium}} were reused in [[Pokémon Stadium]]. However, the English version of those entries was introduced in the latter game, since the earlier game was never released outside of Japan.

==In the spin-off games==
===Pokémon Pinball series===
{{main|Pokédex (Pinball)}}

* The Japanese version of [[Pokémon Pinball]] uses the Pokédex entries from {{game|Yellow}}, except Yellow's entry for {{p|Rattata}} has an additional space, and there are minor wording changes in the entries about {{p|Pikachu}}, {{p|Sandslash}}, {{p|Meowth}}, {{p|Persian}}, {{p|Golbat}}, {{p|Oddish}}, and {{p|Dragonair}}.
** The English version of Pokémon Pinball uses the Pokédex entries shared by {{game|Red and Blue|s}} instead, possibly due to the fact that Pokémon Pinball was released in English before Pokémon Yellow.
* [[Pokémon Pinball: Ruby & Sapphire]] has 205 available Pokémon, of those 201 being from the [[List of Pokémon by Hoenn Pokédex number (Generation III)|Generation III Hoenn Pokédex]] (except {{p|Deoxys}} is not available). This game uses 97 Pokédex entries from [[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire Versions|Pokémon Ruby]] and 104 entries from [[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire Versions|Pokémon Sapphire]]. The other 4 Pokémon are the only ones outside the Hoenn Pokédex, with their entries simply being "Bonus appearance on Ruby Field."

===Pokémon Trading Card Game series===
* In {{vg|Pokémon Trading Card Game}} and [[Pokémon Trading Card Game 2: The Invasion of Team GR!]], the Pokédex entries seen on the [[card (TCG GB)|cards]] are taken from the real-life [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]], which itself features Pokédex entries from the core series games.

==In the anime==
The [[Pokémon anime]] often reuses Pokédex entries from the games, in addition to introducing original Pokédex entries.

==In the manga==
===Pokémon Adventures===
The [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga often reuses Pokédex entries from the games.

==In the TCG==
{{incomplete|section|There's probably a ton of promos, especially ones without English releases}}
* In the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]], the {{TCG|Pokémon}} cards often feature the text from Pokédex entries originally introduced in the [[core series]] games.
** In particular, the early cards with the Japanese entries shared by {{game|Red and Green|s}} (which had no official English translation) use the English entries from {{game|Red and Blue|s}} instead.
**Exceptions to this include:
***The Pokémon cards from the {{TCG|Double Crisis}} expansion feature original Pokédex entries narrated by [[Team Magma Grunt]]s and [[Team Aqua Grunt]]s instead of entries from the games.
***The Pokémon cards from the Radiant Collection of the {{TCG|Generations}} set have original Pokédex entries.
***[[Secret card]]s from the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game|Black & White Series]] depicting [[Shiny Pokémon]] all share an entry relating to their shininess and rarity.
****The {{TCG ID|Noble Victories|Meowth|102}} and {{TCG ID|Black & White|Pikachu|115}} secret cards from the Black & White Series have new entries relating to their rarity. They are not Shiny Pokémon, but likely instead reference their absence from the [[List of Pokémon by Unova Pokédex number (Black and White)|Unova Pokédex]].
***[[Flying Pikachu]] and [[Surfing Pikachu]] never reuse Pokédex entires from the games, as those Pokémon are not forms with distinct Pokédex entries in the games.
***[[Pikachu (SVP Promo 27)]] has unique flavor text relating to its art and the presence of [[Fuecoco]], [[Quaxly]], and [[Sprigatito]].

'''Peony''' (Japanese: '''ピオニー''' ''Peony'') is a character in [[The Crown Tundra]] in {{g|Sword and Shield}}. Like his estranged brother [[Rose]], he uses {{type|Steel}} Pokémon.

==In the core series games==
Peony is the younger brother of [[Rose]], though this is not often publicly mentioned.<ref name="brother"/> From childhood, he always felt pressured because he was constantly compared to Rose, who was described as being quite gifted, which caused Peony to become rebellious over time, becoming a delinquent who ran away from home. He eventually had his talents recognized and became a [[Gym Leader]], specializing in {{t|Steel}} types. He was a powerful Trainer who posed a challenge to many, so much so that he even eventually became a {{pkmn|Champion}}, though he left the Pokémon League shortly after Rose became the Chairman. He eventually found his way into exploring the [[Crown Tundra]] in hopes of learning more about the many [[Legendary Pokémon]] that inhabit it. He is often mistaken for his older brother, Rose, due to their strong resemblance.

Peony has an odd relationship with his daughter [[Peonia]]. While he very much cares for her, he has an extremely boisterous personality and insists on taking her along in adventures, though as it currently stands, Peonia does not have interest in Peony's "adven-tours" and wishes to do things her own way. Peony even made a poster of himself in Peonia's travel planner, which she discarded quickly.

Peony appoints the {{player}} as the leader of his {{DL|The Crown Tundra|Plot|expedition}} team upon arriving in the Crown Tundra. Throughout the exploration, he serves as a mentor figure for the player, giving advice on where to search for certain Legendary Pokémon, and the player reports back to him after catching each Legendary Pokémon native to the region. After the player has completed all legendary quests, he tries to bring Peonia along on an "adven-tour", but then they both end up going to the Max Lair for Dynamax Adventures, where they discover that [[Ultra Beast]]s have inhabited the lair. He entrusts the player once more with finding Ultra Beasts. When the player captures Legendary Pokémon or Ultra Beasts from the Dynamax Adventures, they can show said Pokémon to Peony and he will make different comments on them. He can also be rematched daily here.

In the story '''The Sacred Bonds of Sovereign and Steed!''', Peony is frequently possessed by {{ga|Calyrex}}, who uses his body as a vessel to {{pkmn2|Talking|speak}} to the player.

Peony also makes appearances in the [[Galarian Star Tournament]].

===League Cards===
This is the transcript of Peony's League Cards in [[Pokémon Sword and Shield]]

;Normal League Card
:"Peony is a former Steel-type Gym Leader. His powerful and dynamic battle style meant that anyone stuck on pitch maintenance had their work cut out for them. To this day, he is known as "Steel Peony" and has many fans, especially among men. This photo is actually a composite photo, made before Peony came to the Crown Tundra. It was originally a poster Peony stuck in the travel planner he made for his daughter, but she threw it away in short order. Peony liked the way it looked and decided to use it for his League Card."

;Rare League Card
:"Though this is seldom addressed publicly, Peony is, in fact, Rose's younger brother. Peony was compared to his brilliant older brother since he was born, causing him to gradually rebel and become a delinquent. He eventually ran away from home, only to eventually become a Gym Leader once his talent was recognized. He was even Champion once, but shortly afterward, Rose became League Chairman. This caused Peony to vanish entirely from the League. The Copperajah on Peony's team has been there since it was a Cufant. It was the first Pokémon Peony caught together with his brother."

===Pokémon===
Peony's Pokémon are kept in [[Ultra Ball]]s.

[[File:Peony TW.png|thumb|250px|Peony in [[Pokémon: Twilight Wings]]]]
===Pokémon: Twilight Wings===
Peony appeared in ''[[TW08|The Gathering of Stars]]'' where he was seen chasing after his daughter [[Peonia]] in a train headed for the [[Crown Tundra]]. He was invited to the [[Galarian Star Tournament]] and was seen walking out on to the field for the opening ceremony. {{-}}

==In the manga==
[[File:Peony Adventures.png|thumb|220px|Peony in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
===Pokémon Adventures===
Peony debuted in [[PASS32]]. He followed [[Peonia]] to the [[Crown Tundra]], hoping they could participate in a father-daughter "adven-tour". Wanting nothing to do with her father, Peonia asked [[Bede]], [[Hop]], and [[Marnie]] to keep her hidden from Peony. They agreed, but upon noticing Peony's resemblance to [[Rose]], Bede's dedication to the chairman led him to exposing Peonia. At the station, Marnie challenged Peony to battle on the condition that if she won, Peonia would be allowed to go where she wanted. Peony agreed, but was eventually defeated, earning Peonia her freedom.

In [[PASS34]], after Bede, Hop, and Marnie agreed to take Peonia's place, Peony took the trio to his base of operations in [[Freezington]]. There, he explained what they would be doing on the adven-tour. In [[PASS37]], Bede returned from a failed expedition alongside [[Henry Sword]]. Noting that Henry's personality resembled Rose's, Peony immediately took a disliking towards the boy.

In [[PASS38]], Peonia returned from the [[Max Lair]] and agreed to take part in the adven-tours, much to Peony's delight. He also allowed Henry to join at Peonia's request. Later that night, a horrified Peonia found her father's body suddenly floating in the air. Bede explained that Peony was possessed by {{p|Calyrex}}, the King of Bountiful Harvests, so that it could communicate with humans. Henry, Bede, and Peonia agreed to help restore Calyrex to its former glory in order to obtain the missing [[Rusted Sword]].

In [[PASS40]], Peony awoke at the [[Crown Shrine]], where he found Henry, Bede, and Peonia in battle with a [[Gigantamax]]ed {{p|Corviknight}} and {{p|Butterfree}}. Peony immediately joined in and easily took down the Gigantamaxed pair. Later, after the Rusted Sword was found, Henry and Bede said farewell to Peonia and Calyrex. Peony later expressed regret at not being able to thank Henry and Bede for fighting the [[Darkest Day]] unleashed by his younger brother.

Celadonkey: /* Pearl */

Hi! I'm Celadonk. I like Pokémon and I’m pretty passionate about a lot of things about it. My first game was Pearl, which is still my favorite. My favorite Pokémon is, and has always been, {{p|Jigglypuff}}.

I do general edits here and there but my main focus is on templates and contributing to discussions on talk pages about semi-major changes.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask me on my [[User talk:Celadonkey|talk page]]!

==Projects==
* [[User:Celadonkey/Gallery|Improving the gallery to show more sprites in an organized fashion]]
* <s>Logging, and eventually mainspacing, information on the Spaceworld '97 Gold and Silver demo</s> ''In progress''
* [[User:Celadonkey/Wild|Improving the wild Pokemon templates to be easier to read and use]]
* Color templates for [[User:Celadonkey/Alola colors|the Alolan islands]] and for [[User:Celadonkey/Expansion pass colors|the Sword and Shield expansion pass]]

Celadonkey: /* creating my user page */

[[User_talk:Celadonkey/Archive|Archive]]

== Two things ==

#If you archive a user talk page, please add a link to the archived page somewhere at the top of the page, so other users could access it easier.
#I noticed you did four edits to a subpage of your userspace. Instead, be sure to preview your edits so you can catch errors. That way, you can reduce the amount of consecutive edits.

Thanks! [[User:Berrenta|Berrenta]] ([[User talk:Berrenta|talk]]) 21:03, 2 January 2017 (UTC)
:1. Okay, will do. How would I get to an archive?
:2. I did use preview. The first three edits I didn't want to do all at once, and the fourth was adding something I didn't know about when I was editing (the candidates for mainspace thing). I do try to use the preview feature. ----[[User:Celadonkey|Celadonkey]] 21:49, 2 January 2017 (UTC)

== Welcomes ==

FYI, we usually don't welcome users who haven't made any contributions. There are many accounts created on BP that never make any edits.

(Also, you need to add a link to the old talk page you archived at the top of this page, like Berrenta said above.)

[[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 21:16, 5 February 2017 (UTC)
:Okay, thanks for telling me. But like I asked Berrenta, how would I get to the archive? I don't remember the link I put it at. --[[User:Celadonkey|Celad]][[User_talk:Celadonkey|onkey]] 21:18, 5 February 2017 (UTC)
::Your archive is [[User talk:Celadonkey/Archive]]. I know, it's sometimes hard to find things once you've moved them :) For future reference, if you start typing in the search bar, it'll give you a drop down with suggestions, that's how I found your archive--just started typing "User talk:Celadonkey" and it popped up :) '''[[User:Slimey01|slimey]][[User talk:Slimey01|01]]''' 00:53, 6 February 2017 (UTC)
:::You could also see it right in this page's history. Or you could even check your own contributions (up near the "log out" link). [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 01:15, 6 February 2017 (UTC)
::::Done! Thanks. --[[User:Celadonkey|Celad]][[User_talk:Celadonkey|onkey]] 15:03, 6 February 2017 (UTC)

== Trivia edits ==

Hey so uh idk how else to talk to you so I hope this is ok??
Anyway regarding Trivia, actually yeah I read the page you posted (Trivia Policy) and as I've been looking at the highest stats( for each type) the other day, I noticed there are more than 2 way ties sometimes, so I edited those out.
However I wanted to ask (I assume you're not a Trivia mod or anything but still) - when it comes to the Shuckle/Mega Steelix/Mega Aggron tie with Defense, it's the highest Defense of '''all Pokemon''', is that notable enough or not? I'd leave it on Shuckle's page, because it mentions its extreme stat distribution, but idk about the other two... thanks for help. [[User:KingisNitro|KingisNitro]] ([[User talk:KingisNitro|talk]]) 20:30, 26 February 2017 (UTC)
:I'm not a mod at all, lol. I don't even think I've been a member for a year! (although I have been using Bulbapedia since at least 2008 for info) the trivia policy page isn't mine, it's forcefire's.

:Honestly having something on Shuckle's page seems fine as long as you mention "non-mega evolved". --[[User:Celadonkey|Celad]][[User_talk:Celadonkey|onkey]] 20:32, 26 February 2017 (UTC)
::Just poking my head in here, staff members such as Tiddlywinks regularly remove highest-stat-trivia that mention "non-Mega Evolved" because making exceptions/clarifications like that make it unnotable. [[User:Pumpkinking0192|Pumpkinking0192]] ([[User talk:Pumpkinking0192|talk]]) 20:51, 26 February 2017 (UTC)
:::Huh, didn't know that. I thought it did the opposite. Thanks. --[[User:Celadonkey|Celad]][[User_talk:Celadonkey|onkey]] 21:01, 26 February 2017 (UTC)
::::Thanks for the comment, I mean with Shuckle I think it should stay because it's out of all Pokemon+Shuckle's Trivia talks about extremity of its stat distribution, but guess it should be edited out of Steelix and Aggron articles.

==Hey Celadonkey==

I dont understand much of how to reply and stuff, so here is my reply, putting this on your page

Just a reply to your answer, I dont see any way to add a language on the side, just the ones that are there. Please help? {{unsigned|Adrizz}}
:Well, first of all, some talk page etiquette: Always sign your messages with four tildes (<nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>). Pressing enter five times in order to make a space between lines takes up a lot of room; one space between lines will do.

:Second of all, Bulbapedia is an English wiki. It is affiliated with, but not operated by the same people as Pokemon wikis in other languages, such as PokeWiki in German, Pokepedia in French, or 52Poke in Chinese. If you want to edit in a different languages, I'd go to those wikis. If you want to add a link on a Bulbapedia article to a corresponding article in, say, French, what you'd do is put <nowiki>[[fr:(the name of the French article here)]]</nowiki> at the bottom of the Bulbapedia article.

:I hope I answered your question. --[[User:Celadonkey|Celad]][[User_talk:Celadonkey|onkey]] 20:24, 11 March 2017 (UTC)
::But what I mean is a totally new language, which isnt there a.k.a Norwegian, my native tounge.

::Sooo what can I do? {{unsigned|Adrizz}}
:::First of all, good job with the spacing, but remember to put four tildes (<nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>) after you've finished your comment. This makes a signature. Also, make sure to add colons before your comments. I added some for you, you can look in the code to see what I mean. You should add one more colon than the person before you did.

:::To make a new wiki in a completely new language is outside of Bulbapedia's powers. As I said, Bulbapedia is "affiliated with, but not operated by the same people as Pokemon wikis in other languages". This means the people who operate Bulbapedia do not also operate foreign Pokemon wikis. To make a new wiki, you'd have to set up your own server, and set everything up there, and then contact Bulbapedia to see if you can affiliate with the owners. --[[User:Celadonkey|Celad]][[User_talk:Celadonkey|onkey]] 20:31, 11 March 2017 (UTC)
::::Side note: I see you've added Magearna's Norwegian name, and that's awesome. If you could add the Norwegian name for as many Pokemon as possible, that would be great, and I'm sure Bulbapedia would really appreciate it. --[[User:Celadonkey|Celad]][[User_talk:Celadonkey|onkey]] 20:33, 11 March 2017 (UTC)

== Removing the one at Mega Evolving ==

Yes, I talked specific about Sun and Moon, as its the only game I know how to obtain these things, and others could've added the X and Y version and fixed that, instead, you removed the whole thing, please.

I even copied the whole thing

In [[Pokémon Sun and Moon]] you can obtain a [[Key Stone]] and a [[Alakazite]] by going to [[Vast Poni Canyon]] and then walking on the path to the [[Battle Tree]] There you will be greeted by [[Dexio]] and [[Sina]].[[Dexio]] tells you about the mega stone, and challenges you to a battle. He will have these pokemon,at level 61, an [[Espeon]], an [[Alolan Raichu]], a [[Slowking]], an [[Metagross]] and an [[Alakazam]] holding an [[Alakazite]], and [[Dexio]] mega evolves [[Alakazam]] into an [[Mega Alakazam]], and if you beat [[Dexio]], he gives you both items, and you are free to continue to the [[Battle Tree]] where you can buy various [[Mega Stones]] for BattlePoints (BP)

yes i did.

Soooooooo, can you readd it please?

[[User:Adrizz|Adrizz]] ([[User talk:Adrizz|talk]]) 21:11, 11 March 2017 (UTC)
:Yeah, I read it. The reason I undid it is because this is the type of thing you'd find in a walkthrough. Maybe a more concise, less detailed version could be added elsewhere on the page, but this is way too specific and in the wrong place.

:A lot of things that you write will be undone. A lot of things I've added have been undone. After some time, you will get a grasp on the type of style and information Bulbapedia strives for. --[[User:Celadonkey|Celad]][[User_talk:Celadonkey|onkey]] 21:20, 11 March 2017 (UTC)

:::Thanks for checking in.

== Category linking ==

Just a tip, when linking directly to category pages, use either {{template|cat}} or a colon before "Category" (eg. <nowiki>[[:Category: X]]</nowiki>). Linking categories like any other namespace just adds the page to the category instead of creating an actual link.--[[User:Cold|Cold]] ([[User talk:Cold|talk]]) 23:11, 15 March 2017 (UTC)

== Location names ==

As a rule, I would ask that you not change text in item location descriptions based on the guidebook's names. Oftentimes, your change turns the description from something immediately useful to something completely opaque unless people realize they have to look elsewhere on the page as well. And those descriptions should be as helpful as possible without asking people to go back and forth on the page.

Can you also tell me whether any of these area names are used outside of captions? I'm wondering if these are really capitalized names or if they might only be in title case because of the context you're taking it from (and sentence case could be the proper default).

::SWAI, that number is kept secret. As far as I know there's also a time aspect. Basically what Animaltamer said... as long as you keep being a diligent editor, you'll get that privilege. (Admittedly, I have not been so diligent lately, but that's for mostly personal reasons...)

::However, I don't think it's a good idea to just make edits for the purpose of being able to create a userpage. The point of Bulbapedia is to contribute to the site as a whole; it's not a social media. That's more or less why the specifics are kept secret.

::Also, I hope this doesn't come off as rude, but Animaltamer, you don't need to answer questions for me on my talk page.

== Type effectivness ==

I see you reverted my edits on type pages. I thought that since "Effectiveness" section show type relations, there should be mentioned moves that technically are particular type but break the rules on type relations.--'''[[User:Team Rocket Grunt|Rocket]] [[User talk:Team Rocket Grunt|Grunt]]''' 14:19, 27 April 2021 (UTC)
:I don't think it's useful information. Struggle is a move that has a lot of separate type effectiveness properties from its type, compared to something like Freeze-Dry, so listing it on all of the affected types is quite redundant. This is why, I assume, that Flying Press isn't listed on the Grass page as well, for example. For some moves it's much better to just list it on the move's page, and I believe the moves you were adding fall into that.

:If you'd like to bring it up for further discussion, you can post about it on a talk page. --[[User:Celadonkey|celadonk]] ([[User talk:Celadonkey|talk]]) 19:15, 27 April 2021 (UTC)

==New Article and Category Proposal -- Flora of the Pokémon World==
So uh, I think you can pretty much guess what I'm getting at here, but to clarify this is specifically in relation to things such as berries and other items as opposed to the grass-type. Flora in Pokémon works pretty much like in the real world mostly, although a few instances stand out. I've [https://forums.bulbagarden.net/index.php?threads/new-article-proposal-flora-of-the-pokemon-world.292264/ posted] this idea on the forums, and I've been sporadically working on an outline for such an article on my personal page, but there seems to be a lack of interest. So yeah, I decided to directly go to an admin.
I know I'm not a big editor on this wiki (or any for that matter) but flora plays a bigger part in the games and other media than most people realize and I feel it's a shame that it's being overlooked, so I'm asking if you could at least discuss this with the other admins and get their thoughts. I know that you can't promise anything but it is something at least to consider, so thanks in advance for hearing me out at least.

== Image Revision Request ==

Hello, still fairly new to the rules of this wiki so I may be doing this wrong but I read somewhere here that I’m supposed to get the permission of an admin to revise an image.

The Emerald art of Brandon uses the wrong colour palette, and the newly revealed Brandon TCG card shows off a more accurate palette.

With the help of my friend NamMisa I was able to restore the image to near accurate colours.

I was wondering if the wiki could use the image under the (subject to change) filename “Emerald Pyramid King Brandon.png”

Unfortunately, it seems I can’t attach the image here. Hopefully there’s a way to do so.

Please do let me know your thoughts on this matter.

== Armored Mewtwo ==

Hi there! Firstly, I apologize for having created the titular page really sorry for creating this page the other day on the 16th without administrative permission, but don’t worry, it has been deleted.

I wanted to know if I could recreate it? I know that this form is odd as it is more of a costume given to the Pokémon temporarily (at least in the anime and manga), but the form of this Pokémon has been recognized as an alternate form in both games and the TCG. It believe that it would be appropriate to note this as an alternative form. —[[User:ParkerHaley2003|ParkerHaley2003]] ([[User talk:ParkerHaley2003|talk]]) 23:16, 19 November 2022 (UTC) (repost)

== Clone Pokémon Articles ==

Hi, me again!

I also wanted to know if I could add pages for the following: [[Bulbasaurtwo]], [[Squirtletwo]], [[Charmandertwo]], [[Venusaurtwo]], [[Blastoisetwo]], and [[Charizardtwo]]. I would like to do this because they ''are'' different Pokémon rather than a variant (like what Mewtwo is to Mew) and [[Pikachutwo]] has a page.

In addition to this, I would like to add a page for [[Giant Alakazam]], [[Giant Gengar]], and [[Giant Jigglypuff]] because similarly to the Pokémon above, they are different Pokémon with altered designs. Pokémon with these same conditions also have pages (such as [[Crystal Onix]] and [[Pink Butterfree]]), and so I feel these would be appropriate. —[[User:ParkerHaley2003|ParkerHaley2003]] ([[User talk:ParkerHaley2003|talk]]) 23:31, 19 November 2022 (UTC)

'''Jynx''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ルージュラ''' ''Rougela'') is a dual-type {{2t|Ice|Psychic}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation I]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Smoochum}} starting at [[level]] 30.

==Biology==
[[File:Jynx Foot.png|thumb|left|250px|Jynx's foot]]
Jynx is a bipedal, {{wp|humanoid}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that resembles a woman. It has a purple face, pink lips, saucer-like eyes, and long blonde hair. It wears a red gown with two gold circlets on the chest. While [[EP090|the anime]] has shown it to possess feet, the 3D games show only blackness under the dress and it lacks a [[footprint]]. Despite this, it is able to learn the kicking move {{m|Triple Axel}}. It has white arms and five-fingered purple hands. Jynx is a female-only species with no male counterpart.

Originally, its face was colored black. {{eng|Pokémon Stadium}}'s fainting animation had it disappear leaving only its hair behind, implying that what appears to be dark-colored skin is actually just darkness.

Jynx has a language that sounds similar to human speech and includes several cry patterns. However, this language has yet to be deciphered. It prefers to communicate by using dance-like movements. There are some musicians who compose songs for Jynx to sing. These rhythmic movements often cause people to dance along with it. The Jynx in [[Alola]] are said to have wonderful precise movements. In certain parts of [[Galar]], it has been feared and worshiped while being called the "Queen of Ice".

==Trivia==
* As its [[Pokédex]] entries state that Jynx speaks an incomprehensible language, the {{player}}, as a Pokémon, cannot understand anything it says in the {{pkmn|Mystery Dungeon series}}.
* A [[Capsule Monsters]] [[Media:Capsule Monsters Buhi.jpg|concept sketch]] depicts an unused Pokémon design with the same Pokédex number as Jynx.
* Jynx's sprite in the Virtual Console re-release of {{game|Yellow}} seems to use five colors instead of four, a technical impossibility for a [[Game Boy Color]] game. To achieve this effect, some of the 8x8 tiles composing the sprite use an altered palette, where black is replaced with purple.
* [[Pokémon Stadium series|The Pokémon Stadium games]] feature a kicking animation for Jynx, in which its feet appear out of nowhere, disconnected from its body, to perform moves such as {{m|Mega Kick}}. This is one of the rare instances where its feet can be seen in the games, considering Jynx's lack of [[Footprint|footprints]].
* Jynx is the only Pokémon to have {{a|Dry Skin}} as its {{DL|Ability|Hidden Ability}}.

==={{pkmn|controversy|Controversy}}===
[[File:124Jynx OS anime.png|thumb|Jynx's original design in the anime|150px]]
{{wp|Carole Boston Weatherford}}, a cultural critic, claimed that Jynx, which appeared in ''[[Holiday Hi-Jynx]]'', was a negative stereotype of African-Americans in an article titled "Politically Incorrect Pokémon" on the magazine ''Black World Today''. She chiefly compared Jynx to the racist characters in ''{{wp|The Story of Little Black Sambo}}'' and further compared Jynx to {{wp|Drag Queen}}s and {{wp|Mr. Popo}} of the {{wp|Dragon Ball}} franchise, another character who is also potentially offensive in his design.

Weatherford's complaint caused many repercussions in the Pokémon franchise. The sprites of Jynx in the Western releases of {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}} were edited, and [[EP250]] was cut from international airings of the anime. A sequence depicting Jynx in its original design in ''[[AG013|All Things Bright and Beautifly!]]'' was also cut from the dub. Jynx's design was officially revised by [[Game Freak]] to be purple rather than black, including in Japan and South Korea; this change was reflected in later [[core series]] games (starting with {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}) and in the [[Pokémon anime]] starting in ''[[AG115|Mean With Envy]]''. However, Jynx's last anime appearance came just 53 episodes after the redesign. Although the manga is colored in black-and-white, Jynx appearing in [[VIZ Media]]'s reissues of [[Pokémon Adventures]] are recolored as a dark gray rather than a straight black, suggesting that they are purple instead of black. It is also recolored to purple on the back cover of the reissue of {{PAV|4}}. The [[Virtual Console]] versions of {{g|Snap}}, {{ga|Pokémon Trading Card Game}}, international {{game|Yellow}}, and Japanese Pokémon Gold, Silver, and Crystal also recolor Jynx's face. Jynx was recolored in the ending credits of [[PK01]] and [[PK04]] for the 2012 Japanese Blu-ray release. A recolored version of ''Holiday Hi-Jynx'' aired in Japan and is available on the Japanese [[Prime Video]] and [[Netflix]]. Since 2014, ''[[Holiday Hi-Jynx]]'', ''[[EP090|Stage Fight!]]'', and ''[[EP099|The Mandarin Island Miss Match]]'', which all feature Jynx in its original design, have not been in circulation of the English dub.

In recent years, some fans of Pokémon have noted that Jynx may be inspired by {{wp|ganguro}}, a Japanese fashion where women tan heavily, bleach their hair, and apply large amounts of makeup, instead of a black stereotype. This theory is mainly based on Jynx's long, straight, blonde hair, a common attribute of ganguro fashion. However, this particular hypothesis at least has often been criticized due to the timeline of ganguro fashion not matching up with the development of [[Pokémon games]].<ref>[[n:On the Origin of Species: Jynx|On the Origin of Species: Jynx]]</ref> Another theory is that Jynx is based on the Nordic goddess {{wp|Hel}}, who was often depicted as having a face half white-half black and who ruled {{wp|Niflheim}}, primarily depicted as a land of primordial ice and cold. Some fans say this is supported by Jynx sharing traits with the iconic opera singing "{{wp|It ain't over 'til the fat lady sings|Fat Lady}}," who is typically portrayed in pop culture dressed as the {{wp|valkyrie}} {{wp|Brünnhilde}}. Another possible origin is {{wp|Yama-uba}}, the mountain Crone.

===Origin===
{{Bulbanews|On the Origin of Species: Jynx}}
What Jynx is based on is a controversial topic within the fandom, although common interpretations are a Nordic or a Viking woman (possibly {{wp|Hel (being)|Hel}}, goddess of the underworld), or ''{{wp|ganguro}}'' (face-black). The original Jynx's black skin and prominent lips bore a startling resemblance to the "darky" iconography now largely abandoned in media. Also, the fact that Jynx are depicted as Santa's helpers in the anime may reference the folklore character {{wp|Zwarte Piet}}.

Jynx also has the traits of a female opera singer, especially the iconic cartoon depiction of the {{wp|It ain't over till the fat lady sings|fat lady}}; {{g|Snap}} and its third generation sprites depict it singing, especially the {{v2|Emerald}} sprite that animates it singing a high note. Specifically, it may be inspired by the {{wp|Ride of the Valkyries}}, from the opera {{wp|Die Walküre}}, the second of four operas by {{wp|Richard Wagner}} based on Norse mythology. In this context, it's possible that the {{wp|Valkyries}}, mythical warrior-maidens who gathered the souls of those slain in battle, are another inspiration for Jynx.

Jynx may also have origins in the Japanese spirits known as {{wp|Yuki-onna}}, who lack feet, akin to Jynx's feet being covered by its dress. It may also be based on {{wp|Yama-uba}} (also called Yamanba), a ''{{wp|yōkai}}'' that is described as always wearing a tattered red kimono, having whitish-blonde hair, control over snow, dark-colored skin, and large lips, traits which are evident in Jynx. "Yamanba" is also slang for the extreme end of ganguro fashion, which involves bleached hair, artificial tanning, and heavy applying of brightly-colored lipstick.

Jynx's revised coloring may be based on purple discoloration of the skin, a common symptom of {{wp|frostbite}}. This fits with Jynx's {{t|Ice}} type and how it is found in very cold places.

====Name origin====
Jynx may be a corruption of ''{{wp|jinx}}'', a curse or hex of bad luck.

Rougela may be derived from ''{{wp|Rouge (cosmetics)|rouge}}'', a type of makeup and also the French word for ''red''.

[[File:Ash Unova Badges.png|thumb|250px|{{Ash}} with his Badges from [[Unova]]]]
A '''Badge''' (Japanese: '''バッジ''' ''Badge'') is an item that serves as proof of a [[Pokémon Trainer]]'s victory in a battle against a [[Gym Leader]].

Trainers need to collect a certain number of [[Gym]] Badges in order to qualify for a region's [[Pokémon League]]. Young Trainers usually begin their initial [[Pokémon journey]] by traveling from city to city in order to collect them. Badges are small enough to fit easily between one's thumb and index finger and can be pinned to a shirt or kept in a Badge case.

==Development==
[[File:Early Badges.png|220px|thumb|Early artwork]]
A selection of familiar and unfamiliar Badges can be seen in early character artwork by [[Ken Sugimori]]. It appears that the original concept of Badges was more similar to an {{wp|embroidered patch}} than the {{wp|Badge|pinned badge}} they are portrayed as in the {{pkmn|anime}} and subsequent game entries. While some of these patches do resemble Badges seen in the final game like the [[Media:Sugimori1996.png|Cascade Badge]], the [[Media:Sugimori1996.png|Volcano Badge]] or even the [[Media:Red Blue Blue.png|Rainbow]] [[Media:Pokémon Craft DX 3.png|Badge]], others don't appear to be based on anything, and may have only been made for the sake of aesthetics, much like real-life embroidered patches, such as Red's "[[Media:Red Green Red.png|Leaf]] [[Media:Pokémon Craft DX cover.png|Badge]]" or Silver's "[[Media:Gold Silver Silver.png|Artsy Badge]]".

Other instances of embroidered "Badges" can be seen in the cover art for the ''Games That Stand Out Collection'' magazine, with the male Trainer's [[Media:Magazine boytrainer.png|rock or diamond]] badge and the female Trainer's [[Media:Magazine girltrainer.png|teardrop]] badge, which shares a resemblance to the Cascade Badge. However, given the nature of this illustration (the designs were made specifically for this cover and weren't intended to be used in the franchise<ref>[https://imgur.com/FFLW01B The scan of the interview page with English translations newly annotated]</ref>), it is likely that these designs were chosen randomly. The latter Badge's resemblance to the Cascade Badge was most likely a coincidence, given it is a stylized drop of water.

==Effects==
===Stat boost===
In [[Generation]]s I-III, some Badges boost a certain stat or stats of the player's Pokémon. This boost is applied only in internal battles, not link battles. In Generations {{gen|I}} and {{gen|II}}, the stat or stats are increased by 12.5%; in [[Generation III]], the stat or stats are increased by 10%. This boost does not exist from [[Generation IV]] onward.

In Generation I, this boost is reapplied whenever the player's Pokémon's stats are raised or lowered, allowing boosts to be stacked (this stacking effect is lost if the Pokémon levels up). In Generation II, if the attack is a [[critical hit]] and the attacker's used offensive stat stage is less than or equal to the opponent's defensive stat stage, all Badge boosts are ignored.

| style="background:#fff" | Plain Badge
| style="background:#fff; {{roundybr|5px}}" | Dynamo Badge
|}

Note that in Generation I, the game states that the Thunder Badge raises Speed and the Soul Badge raises Defense, but these are not the actual effects caused.

===Type boost===
In [[Generation II]], every Badge boosts the power of the moves of a certain type by 12.5% (1/8), despite never being referenced in the games. The type strengthened matches the type theme of the [[Gym]] (for example, Zephyr Badge boosts the Flying type); despite the Viridian Gym no longer having a type theme in Generation II, the Earth Badge boosts Ground-type moves.

These boosts work similarly to the way [[same-type attack bonus]] (STAB) boosts work, and are, in fact, calculated in-between [[Weather|weather modifiers]] and STAB. Just like stat boosts, type boosts are not applied in link battles.

===Obedience===
{{main|Obedience}}
Badges affect a {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}'s behavior. [[Outsider Pokémon]] over a certain [[level]] will refuse to obey the player without the appropriate Badge. In {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}, [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], and {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}, obedience is determined by the number of Badges, not which specific Badges the player has.

In the anime episode ''[[EP044|The Problem with Paras]]'', {{OBP|Lacy|EP044}} mentioned this when [[Ash's Charmeleon]] refused to obey him.

===Catch level limit===
In {{g|Sword and Shield}}, the player cannot [[Caught Pokémon|catch]] [[wild Pokémon]] above a certain level without appropriate Badges. Such uncatchable wild Pokémon are described as being "very strong-looking" upon encounter, and attempting to use a Poké Ball displays the message, "You can't throw a Poké Ball! It won't let its guard down!"

===HM moves===
{{main|HM}}
While Trainers can teach their Pokémon [[HM]] moves and use them in battle, Trainers require the appropriate Badge to use them in the overworld in [[Generation]]s {{gen|I}} through {{gen|IV}} as well as [[Generation VI]]. In [[Generation V]] only, Badges are not needed to use HM moves in the overworld.

===Poké Mart stock===
From Generation IV onwards, the number of Badges a Trainer possesses affects which items [[Poké Mart]]s sell. The more Badges, the more items that become available for purchase, with more expensive items generally appearing after more Badges are obtained.

===Pokémon League===
In the games, in order to enter the [[Pokémon League]] and challenge the [[Elite Four]] and {{pkmn|Champion}}, the player must have all eight Badges from that region (in the case of the [[Indigo Plateau]], either [[Kanto]] or [[Johto]]; for [[Paldea]], only the Badges earned from the Gyms are accepted by the League, as the others are unofficial designs merely meant to resemble the proper Badges). In [[Unova]], [[Kalos]], and Generation I, III, and VII Kanto, Badges are checked individually through a series of Badge Check Gates; in [[Hoenn]], [[Sinnoh]], and Generation II and IV Kanto, Badges are checked all at once.

==List of Badges==
===Indigo League===
In Generation IV, these badges do not affect stats.

|}

===Sinnoh League===
When Badges are touched in the games, they play a single note, and will make a musical {{wp|C major|C major scale}} when all eight Badges are collected. When a player rubs the stylus across them numerous times to polish them (as they gradually tarnish), they will begin to shine. This process can be continued until four sparkles are visible. The musical notes are also the most clearly defined and accurately tuned when there are four sparkles.

Unlike other generations, it is the number of Badges that determines which [[outsider Pokémon]] [[Obedience|obey]] the Trainer, rather than the Badges themselves (this distinction is important because the order in which the Cobble, Fen, and Relic Badges are obtained differs between Diamond/Pearl and Platinum). For every second Badge the maximum level of obeying Pokémon increases (0 Badges—level 10; 2 Badges—level 30; 4 Badges—level 50; 6 Badges—level 70; 8 Badges—level 100). The number of Badges collected also affects the items that the player can purchase in [[Poké Mart]]s.

===Unova League===
Unlike previous Badges, the level at which traded Pokémon will obey the player goes up by ten per Badge, rather than the previous system of rising twenty levels after every even-numbered Badge. They can be polished like Sinnoh's Badges, although they do not make different notes when polished at the same level. Instead, the picture of the Gym Leader from whom the Badge was earned gets grayer.

In Black 2 and White 2, the Badges no longer dull over a period of time, and Sinnoh's notes were reintegrated into the Badge screen.

Although Badges are not required to use any of the [[HM]]s outside of battle, some HMs cannot be obtained until after obtaining certain Badges. However, as they are not required, traded Pokémon that have learned an HM move in another game can still use the HM move before acquiring any Badges.

===Paldea===
{{Incomplete|section}}
Unlike in previous games, where Badges can only be obtained through defeating [[Gym Leader]]s, Badges in [[Paldea]] can be obtained by progressing through the three storylines in {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}. There are a total of 18 Badges to collect: 8 Gym Badges from the Victory Road storyline (which involves defeating Gym Leaders as in previous games), 5 Star Badges from the ★ Starfall Street ★ storyline (which involves defeating [[Team Star]] Bosses), and 5 Titan Badges from the Path of Legends storyline. Only the Gym Badges are officially recognized by the [[Paldea League]]; the Star Badges were crafted by the leaders of each of [[Team Star]]'s five squads as symbols of authority within the group, and the Titan Badges were crafted by [[Arven]] to commemorate the defeat of the five Titans of Paldea.

===Pokémon Masters EX===
In [[Pokémon Masters EX]], the player must earn five Badges from PML Leaders across [[Pasio]] before they can qualify for the [[Pokémon Masters League]] tournament.

==In the anime==
===Main series===
[[File:Kanto Gym Badges anime.png|thumb|left|250px|The Kanto Gym Badges in the anime]]
[[File:Ash Iceberg Badge.png|thumb|250px|Ash holding the Iceberg Badge]]
In the {{pkmn|anime}}, Badges signify that a {{pkmn|Trainer}} has succeeded at a particular [[Gym]]. If a Trainer earns eight Gym Badges in one [[region]], they are eligible to enter that region's [[Pokémon League Conference]].

Trainers do not necessarily have to win a battle with the Gym Leader in order to earn a Badge, and Gym Leaders can be quite lenient about giving out Badges. For example, {{Ash}} was awarded several Badges during the [[original series]] because of his kind heart and determination; {{an|Misty}} has berated Ash on several occasions because he did not properly earn all of his Kanto Badges, arguing that he really only earned three Badges (the Thunder, Soul, and Volcano Badges) and the other five Badges were given to him on technicalities. In ''[[DP165|Flint Sparks the Fire!]]'', the [[Sunyshore Gym]] was shown to be handing out free Beacon Badges. The [[Orange League|Orange Crew]] all have entire Gym matches devoted to unconventional battling styles.

In ''[[EP044|The Problem with Paras]]'', {{OBP|Lacy|EP044}} mentioned that some Pokémon will not [[obedience|obey]] their Trainer if they do not respect them, due to their Trainer lacking in Badges. For example, after evolving into Charmeleon, [[Ash's Charmander]] began to disobey him, which was only exacerbated upon evolving again into Charizard.

In [[Kalos]], due to {{an|Clemont}}'s perception of an ideal challenger of the [[Lumiose Gym]], he programmed the [[Clembot]]—the substitute [[Gym Leader]]—to throw out challengers who did not have four [[Kalos League]] Badges. As a result, when Ash attempted to challenge the Gym shortly after arriving in the Kalos region, Clembot acted according to its programming and threw him out. After Clemont [[XY009|reprogrammed the Clembot]], he removed the Badge restriction, but Ash indicated he would still collect four Badges before challenging Clemont himself at the Gym.
[[File:Gardenia and Forest Badge.png|thumb|250px|Gardenia holding the Forest Badge]]
Many fellow Trainers that Ash has encountered have been shown to have Badges that do not exist in the games, such as {{Gary}} earning ten Badges in Kanto, indicating that there are more than eight Gyms in each region. Other Badges observed in the anime which do not correspond to known Badges suggest that there are at least nine Gyms in [[Hoenn]], 11 in [[Sinnoh]], 14 in [[Unova]], and 11 in [[Kalos]]. Despite this, Ash's Badge case has frequently had indents specifically shaped for the Badges that appear in the games. However, Trainers only need eight to qualify.

It is also implied in the anime that a Gym Badge serves as a primary ID for a Gym Leader (and probably a secondary ID for a Trainer). {{an|Brock}} has used his Boulder Badge to identify himself in order to clear his name from any accusations of stealing parts from a machine shop in [[Cerulean City]].

Additionally, Badges are not the only way to enter the [[Indigo Plateau Conference]]. [[Pokémon Tech]], a {{pkmn|academy|boarding school}} for Pokémon Trainers, is an expensive school for children, where moving up a grade is the equivalent of winning two Gym Badges. Upon graduation, students may immediately apply for entry in Kanto's League Conference. Alternatively, Trainers can take the [[Pokémon League Admissions Exam]], which awards a single Badge that grants entry to the Indigo Plateau Conference on its own; it is convenient for people whose age, health, or work keeps them from traveling around to collect Badges.

====Alternative Badges in the anime====
[[File:Many Unknown Kanto Badges.png|thumb|220px|Badges in ''[[EP013|Mystery at the Lighthouse]]'']]
So far, Ash has only obtained Badges that are obtainable in the games, with the notable exception of those he obtained in the Orange Archipelago. Several unknown Badges can be seen at the beginning of ''[[EP013|Mystery at the Lighthouse]]'', while many Trainers Ash has met have had Badges that differ from those that are obtainable in the games. This suggests that there are Gyms in locations which do not appear in the games and therefore more than eight Gyms in each region. Trainers with Badges not seen in the games include:

=====Gary=====
{{Gary}} acquired more than the standard eight Kanto League Badges, thus leading to confusion as to whether or not there is a fixed number of Badges that can be given out in a particular region. By ''[[EP063|The Battle of the Badge]]'', he is shown to have at least ten Badges, only three of which correspond to known Kanto Badges, suggesting there are at least fifteen Gyms in Kanto. Incidentally, this would provide one Gym for each of the 15 [[type]]s at the time.

=====Otoshi=====
In addition, before Ash competes in the Indigo League, a Trainer named [[Otoshi]] is shown in the episode ''[[EP073|Bad to the Bone]]''; he owns eight Badges, but only shares four in common with Ash; later in the episode another Trainer is seen with eight other completely different Badges altogether. In total, Ash, Gary, Otoshi, and the other Trainer display 27 different types of Badges, so there must be at least this number of Gyms in Kanto at the time, assuming they are all from the same region. However, [[Sakura]], a Trainer on her journey, was shown to be collecting Badges from both [[Kanto]] and [[Johto]], so it is unclear what the specific rules are for competing in championship tournaments.

On closer inspection, Otoshi's Badges each look somewhat similar to Ash's Badges and only differ in size and shape. Similarly, what can be identified as a Soul Badge, Thunder Badge, Marsh Badge, and Volcano Badge slide across the screen every time his {{p|Marowak}} knocks out a Pokémon in his flashback. His Badges are in this order from upper-left to bottom-right: Thunder, ? (Rainbow), Cascade, Volcano, Marsh, Soul, Boulder, and Earth. This hints that there may be different varieties of the same Badge.

=====Morrison=====
At the Hoenn Pokémon League Championship in ''[[AG126|Saved by the Beldum!]]'', [[Morrison]] was shown to have an eighth Badge different from Ash's, suggesting that there are at least nine Gyms in Hoenn.

=====Mismagius=====
In {{Ash}}'s dream in ''[[DP043|Malice in Wonderland]]'', Ash has many Badges that haven't been on-screen before, as well as some older Badges. Considering it was only a dream, it is possible that some of the Badges seen don't exist at all.

=====Barry=====
In ''[[DP101|Barry's Busting Out All Over!]]'', {{an|Barry}} was shown to have three Badges. While the Forest Badge and the Mine Badge are no different, Barry has a third Badge that is different from the eight Sinnoh Badges. In ''[[DP163|Fighting Ire with Fire!]]'', Barry was revealed to have obtained eight Badges already, two more of which are different. This means that there are at least 11 Gyms in Sinnoh. The same unknown red Badge that Barry owns is shown at the end of ''[[DP182|An Old Family Blend!]]''.

=====Nando=====
In ''[[DP174|Last Call, First Round!]]'', [[Nando]] was revealed to have acquired seven Badges, two of which are unknown. These two Badges are the same as two of Barry's unknown Badges.

=====Trip=====
In ''[[BW052|Ash Versus the Champion!]]'', [[Trip]] revealed all five of the Badges he had collected, three of which are unknown and not seen in-game.

=====Cameron=====
In ''[[BW093|Goodbye, Junior Cup - Hello Adventure!]]'', {{un|Cameron}} revealed all seven of the Badges he collected, four of which are known and three of which are unknown. Two of those unknown Badges are the same as Trip's. Since there are 10 Badges in Unova in the games (due to two of them being replaced in Black 2 and White 2), this means that there are at least 14 Gyms in Unova.

=====Sawyer=====
In ''[[XY073|A Fashionable Battle!]]'', [[Sawyer]] stated that he had earned one Badge. Later, in ''[[XY094|From A to Z!]]'', he was revealed to have earned four more Badges, including three unknown ones, respectively resembling a flame, three bubbles, and a pair of wings. This means there are at least 11 Gyms in Kalos.

====Non-Gym Badges====
Several Badges have appeared in the anime that are not official Gym Badges.

In the [[Indigo League]], Trainers can take the [[Pokémon League Admissions Exam]], which awards a single Badge that can grant them entry into Indigo Plateau Conference on its own, thus replacing the requirement to collect Gym Badges. It is convenient for people whose age, health, or work keeps them from traveling around to collect Badges.

During the closing ceremony of [[Indigo Plateau Conference]], all participants are awarded the Pokémon League Badge. However, it is only referred to as a Badge in the [[dub]].

For helping the [[band of Diglett thieves]] with their facade, the [[mayor of Diglett Village]] awarded Ash and his friends with the [[Silver Wing]] Badge.

The Trainers who defeat [[Ryuki]], the {{tc|Kantonian Gym|Leader}} of the unofficial [[Kantonian Gym]], get a novelty Badge featuring his face.

[[File:Ash Kanto Badges EToP.png|thumb|200px|Ash's Kanto Badges]]
[[File:Ash Orange Islands Badges EToP.png|thumb|left|150px|Ash's Orange League Badges]]
In [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]], Badges work in a way similar to the anime, but there are some minor differences. All Badges have the Pokémon League logo printed on them.

In addition, Pokémon Trainers are organized by class, much like Pokémon Tech ("Class D", "Class C", and so forth). Badges increase the rank of the Trainer who owns them. {{OBP|Ash Ketchum|EToP|Ash}} once believed that he could increase his rank by capturing rare wild Pokémon, but this was not the case.

Ash has obtained eight Badges from Kanto, but only three (Boulder, Cascade, Earth) actually matching known Badges, and another three lookalike Badges (resembling the Soul, Marsh, and Volcano). Ash also obtained four Badges from the Orange Islands, but none of them match any known Badges.
{{-}}

===Pokémon Adventures===
[[File:Hoenn Gym Badges Adventures.png|thumb|200px|Sapphire's Hoenn Gym Badges]]
[[File:Sinnoh Gym Badges Adventures.png|thumb|200px|Platinum's Sinnoh Gym Badges]]
In [[Pokémon Adventures]], Badges have mystical and mysterious qualities that can somehow increase the power of the Pokémon owned by the Trainer who wields the Badges, just as the Boulder Badge increases the Pokémon's Attack stat in the games. In addition, Badges that don't allow higher leveled Pokémon to obey, such as the Soul Badge, do indeed allow the wearer to control even [[Legendary Pokémon]] such as {{p|Articuno}}.

It is not known what sort of material Badges are made of, but it has been confirmed that the Gym Leaders each own a Badge made of different material than the kind given out to normal Trainers, as that is how the [[Masked Man]]'s identity was narrowed down to among the 16 known Gym Leaders when [[Aibo]] scraped off a part of his hidden Badge with his {{m|Scratch}} attack.

[[Team Rocket]] used seven Kanto Gym Badges to power a machine that combined Articuno, {{p|Zapdos}}, and {{p|Moltres}} into {{DL|Legendary birds (Adventures)|Thu-Fi-Zer|a single beast}}. The machine also had a secret slot for the Earth Badge, which Lance manipulated to further his own goals by turning [[Cerise Island]] into a giant Badge energy amplifier to fuel {{p|Lugia}} with.

Badges are not required to enter the Pokémon League tournament; however, without eight Badges corresponding to their home region, a Trainer must battle their way in to qualify for the finals. This ruling was introduced during a [[Pokémon Association]] meeting in the {{chap|Gold, Silver & Crystal}}, to give Trainers incentive to challenge Gym Leaders, and remove the perception of Badges being seen as tools for evil. In the {{chap|Black & White}}, a last-minute advancement of the date of the Unova League tournament also restricted the eligible challengers to those with all eight of the region's Badges. In the {{chap|Black 2 & White 2}}, it was revealed that a Trainer must gather a new set of eight Badges if they wish to participate in a Pokémon League tournament again.

Six [[Pokédex holder|main characters]] have actively been collecting Gym Badges: {{adv|Red}}, who managed to collect seven Kanto Badges (missing the Earth Badge); {{adv|Sapphire}}, {{adv|Platinum}}, and {{adv|Black}}, whom managed to collect all of the Badges in their respective regions; {{Henry}}, who currently has six [[Galar]] Gym Badges; and {{Casey}}, who managed to collect four Galar Badges before losing her [[Galar League|Gym Challenge]]. Other characters have also gathered Badges, such as {{adv|Cheren}} and [[Hop]]. {{adv|Blue}} once competed for and won a Boulder Badge, but wasn't seen trying to obtain the other Kanto Badges. {{adv|Silver}} once stole a Badge from each Gym in Johto in order to gain access into the [[Indigo Plateau|Pokémon League]], but later returned them to their respective Gym Leaders.

==In Pokémon Live!==
[[File:Diamond Badge.png|thumb|The Diamond Badge from [[Pokémon Live!]]]]
In [[Pokémon Live!]], {{an|Giovanni}} offered the Diamond Badge to Trainers who would be able defeat his [[MechaMew2]]. He gave {{Ash}} the Diamond Badge prior to the battle, believing that Ash would never win. However, Ash defeated Giovanni with {{OBP|Mewtwo|M01}}'s assistance, proceeding to give the Diamond Badge to {{an|Misty}} as a belated [[birthday]] gift. Pokémon Live! is not in continuity with the {{pkmn|anime}}, and the Diamond Badge is not mentioned elsewhere in the series.

==Trivia==
[[File:The Final Badge DVD.jpg|thumb|150px|The Earth Badge's design in the anime]]
[[File:Earth Badge.png|thumb|150px|Official artwork of the Earth Badge]]
[[File:Legend Badge slot.png|thumb|200px|The original Badge slots in Ash's Unova Badge case]]
* In the [[Pokémon Project Studio Red and Blue]] computer programs, the Soul and Marsh Badges' names are reversed, with the pink heart-shaped Badge being the Marsh Badge and the yellow circular Badge being the Soul Badge. Several anime and game handbooks also make this same switch. This appears to be because of an initial error in naming the Badges in {{game|Red and Blue|s}}. A soul would be more attuned to {{t|psychic}} abilities and one finds {{t|Poison|poisonous}} gases in a marsh.
* Official artwork of the Earth Badge (featured in media such as Pokémon Project Studio Red and Blue and [[Extreme Pokémon: The Guide for the Ultimate Fan]]) differs significantly from its appearance in the games, anime, manga, and TCG. The design in its official artwork resembles a plant, whereas its other design resembles a feather.
* [[Paldea]] has the most Badges out of any region, at 18, although only eight of those are Gym Badges.
* The Orange League is the only known Pokémon League with fewer than eight Badges.
* It is possible to obtain certain Badges in a non-linear order. The most notable example of this are the Badges in the [[Kanto]] region.
** In Generation I and III, the Thunder Badge, Rainbow Badge, Soul Badge, Marsh Badge, and Volcano Badge can be obtained in almost any order the player desires, with the stipulation that the Soul Badge must be obtained before the Volcano Badge, as the Soul Badge is required in order to use Surf on the field, which, in turn, is required to reach Cinnabar Island where the Volcano Badge is obtained.
** In Generation II and IV, the Badges can be obtained in virtually any order, although in [[Generation IV]] the player cannot obtain the Earth Badge until obtaining the other seven.
** In Generation VII, the Boulder and Cascade Badges must each be obtained to progress to the next Gym, and [[Viridian Gym]] (Earth Badge) is closed until the player has obtained all seven other Badges. Other than these restrictions, the Badges can be obtained in any order.
** In [[Generation III]], the Knuckle Badge can be postponed until after the Heat Badge, but must be obtained in order to challenge the [[Petalburg Gym]]. The Feather Badge is not required until challenging the Elite Four.
*** In {{pkmn|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, this is no longer the case, because the southern part of {{rt|120|Hoenn}} is blocked until the player obtains the Feather Badge.
** In [[Generation IX]], the different Badges can be acquired in virtually any order as part of the open world design.
* In {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, the Earth Badge is the only Badge that doesn't allow the use of an HM outside of battle, while in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} it is the only Kanto Badge that does.
* The Rainbow Badge's colors correspond with the colors of all the other Kanto Badges, explaining the colors in its design.
* In the code of the [[Generation I]] games, [[List of unobtainable items|items]] named for each Badge can be found. The items named '''BoulderBadge''' and '''CascadeBadge''' allow players to throw bait and rocks, respectively, at Pokémon outside of the {{safari|Kanto}} when used in battle. The other "Badge Items" have no known purpose, simply displaying Professor Oak's "This isn't the time to use that!" message when trying to use them.
* The Basic Badge is the only Badge to be given out by more than one Gym.
* The Rising Badge is the only Badge the player receives outside of its respective Gym.
* The Legend Badge is the only Badge from a from a region where {{Ash}} has competed for Gym Badges that has not appeared in the anime.
** When Ash initially got his [[Unova]] Badge case in ''[[BW013|Minccino—Neat and Tidy!]]'', the slots in it were made to fit each Badge in Pokémon Black and White, but they later became circular to accommodate the Toxic Badge.
* Ash has not won a Badge in the same episode as his first encounter with its respective Gym Leader since earning the Dynamo Badge from [[Wattson]] in ''[[AG040|Watts with Wattson?]]''.
* The Rain Badge is the only Badge that Ash has earned twice, first earning one from [[Juan]] in ''[[AG111|Eight Ain't Enough]]'', and later receiving a second one from [[Wallace]] after defeating him in ''[[JN105|Reuniting for the First Time!]]''.
* In [[Alola]], [[Gym]]s and Badges are not present. Instead, the player receives [[Z-Crystal]]s for completing their trials and grand trials, which replace Badges on the [[save]] file and for unlocking new items at the [[Poké Mart]] (the latter for Z-Crystals from trials only). Additionally, grand trial completion Stamps are used to ensure [[obedience]].
** However, in [[Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon]], the player can receive an unofficial Badge known as the [[Surge Badge]] by defeating the leader of the [[Kantonian Gym]] in [[Malie City]]. Although it is purely a novelty item and serves no practical purpose, its design and Japanese name are direct references to the Thunder Badge, while its English name is also a reference to [[Lt. Surge]].
* [[Galar]] is the only region with version-exclusive Gym Badges.

===Name origin===
* Several {{t|Ice}}-type badges have caused a line of naming conflicts, starting with [[Mahogany Gym]]'s Glacier Badge ({{tt|アイスバッジ|Aisu Bajji}} ''Ice Badge'').
** [[Snowpoint Gym]]'s Icicle Badge is originally called the {{tt|グレイシャバッジ|Gurēsha Bajji}} ''Glacier Badge''.
** [[Icirrus Gym]]'s Freeze Badge is originally called the {{tt|アイシクルバッジ|Aishikuru Bajji}} ''Icicle Badge''.
** Conversely, [[Circhester Stadium]]'s Ice Badge{{sup/8|Sh}} has its English name conflict with the Japanese name of the Glacier Badge. (Its own Japanese name {{tt|こおり|Kōri}} is the Japanese ''translation'' of "ice", rather than a transcription of the English word.)
* With the exception of the Rainbow and Rising Badges, all Badges in Kanto and [[Johto]] were renamed for audiences outside of Japan. All [[Hoenn]] League Badges keep their Japanese names, as do [[Sinnoh]] League Badges, with the exception of the Icicle Badge, as mentioned above.
** The Japanese names of the Kanto Badges are all colors, following the color pattern for the town and city names. In the case of [[Celadon City]], the Rainbow Badge is likely a reference to the city's namesake in Japanese being the {{wp|Chrysochroa fulgidissima|jewel beetle}} with its wings featuring an iridescent appearance.
* The Trio and Insect Badges are the first Badges since the Glacier Badge in Generation II to get renamed in the English version of the games, without there being a localization conflict between the Japanese and English versions.
** The Insect Badge is one of two badges whose English name coincides with the Japanese name of a pre-existing badge, in this case the Hive Badge. The other is the Ice Badge, mentioned above.
* All Badges in Galar are named directly after their corresponding [[type]]s.
** Consequently, both Galar and [[Kalos]] have a Fairy Badge (フェアリーバッジ), making them the only Badges to share a name with each other in both English and Japanese.
* The Storm Badge's English name may be derived from the {{wp|lucha libre}} wrestler {{wp|Fray Tormenta}}—also the inspiration for [[Crasher Wake]]—whose name translates as "Friar Storm".

Paradox Pokémon

2022-12-04T16:18:19Z

Celadonkey: /* Trivia */ There's probably a better way to word this, but at least it's not "oriental riffs" anymore

'''Paradox Pokémon''' (Japanese: '''パラドックスポケモン''' ''Paradox Pokémon'') are a group of Pokémon found in {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}. They have two subgroups, one made of Pokémon resembling ancient relatives of contemporary Pokémon{{sup/9|S}}, and one resembling futuristic relatives of contemporary Pokémon{{sup/9|V}}. They are all [[gender unknown]], unable to [[Evolution|evolve]], unable to breed, and—with the exceptions of {{p|Koraidon}} and {{p|Miraidon}}—their names do not follow regular naming conventions, thus having different names in {{pmin|Spain|Spanish}} and {{pmin|Italy|Italian}}.

[[List of categories by abundance|All of them also share]] the {{pkmn|category}} of Paradox Pokémon. They are also known as '''unidentified creatures''' and '''Enigmas of Paldea''' by researchers and Occulture articles, respectively. [[Professor Sada]]{{sup/9|S}}/[[Professor Turo]]{{sup/9|V}} are the head researchers on the Paradox Pokémon. They also referred to the Paradox Pokemon officially as '''Ancient Pokémon'''{{sup/9|S}}/'''Future Pokémon'''{{sup/9|V}}.

==History==
The first recorded sightings of Paradox Pokémon were documented 200 years ago in Area Zero, in the Great Crater located in the center of the [[Paldea]] [[region]]. A member of the Area Zero exploration team named Heath wrote about these sightings in the Scarlet Book{{sup/9|S}}/Violet Book{{sup/9|V}}. Area Zero would be occupied by scientists researching the Paradox Pokémon and the [[Terastal phenomenon]]. Eventually, a paranormal magazine called Occulture published articles on these sightings and theorized about what the Paradox Pokémon could be.

Ten years ago, the Paradox Pokémon from the ancient past{{sup/9|S}}/distant future{{sup/9|V}} were first brought into present thanks to a time machine built by [[Professor Sada]]{{sup/9|S}}/[[Professor Turo]]{{sup/9|V}} in order for research, with the ultimate goal of establishing a sanctuary in which they would be able to coexist with modern-day Pokémon. Due to how dangerous they were to the ecosystem of Paldea, the Paradox Pokémon were kept locked away in Area Zero. {{p|Koraidon}}{{sup/9|S}}/{{p|Miraidon}}{{sup/9|V}} was the first of the Paradox Pokémon to be brought into the present; a second specimen was later brought into the present as well, but it proved to be far more aggressive than the original and drove it away in a territorial dispute. It is later revealed that Sada{{sup/9|S}}/Turo{{sup/9|V}} was killed by the second specimen while defending the first.

Later, during the events of {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}, a {{p|Great Tusk}}{{sup/9|S}}/an {{p|Iron Treads}}{{sup/9|V}} escaped and became a [[Titan Pokémon]] that roamed the [[Asado Desert]]. The {{player}} and [[Arven]] defeated it, putting an end to its rampage.

During the '''The Way Home''' storyline, the player, Arven, [[Nemona]], and [[Penny]] encountered several Paradox Pokémon while heading deeper into Area Zero: they encountered, at Research Station 2, a {{p|Scream Tail}}{{sup/9|S}}/an {{p|Iron Bundle}}{{sup/9|V}}; and, at Research Station 3, a Great Tusk{{sup/9|S}}/an Iron Treads{{sup/9|V}}, like the one fought in the Asado Desert. Then, at Research Station 4, the second Koraidon{{sup/9|S}}/Miraidon{{sup/9|V}} is encountered before the group is ambushed by several Great Tusk{{sup/9|S}}/Iron Treads{{sup/9|V}}, {{p|Brute Bonnet}}{{sup/9|S}}/{{p|Iron Hands}}{{sup/9|V}}, and {{p|Flutter Mane}}{{sup/9|S}}/{{p|Iron Jugulis}}{{sup/9|V}}. The AI Sada{{sup/9|S}}/Turo{{sup/9|V}} would use seven Paradox Pokémon in an attempt to defend the time machine only for the player and their Koraidon{{sup/9|S}}/Miraidon{{sup/9|V}} to put a stop to it. The time machine that summoned the Paradox Pokémon was then shut down when AI Sada{{sup/9|S}}/Turo{{sup/9|V}} used it one final time to travel into the ancient past{{sup/9|S}}/distant future{{sup/9|V}}.

Afterward, the rest of the Paradox Pokémon can be found in Area Zero during the post-game, including {{p|Roaring Moon}}{{sup/9|S}}/{{p|Iron Valiant}}{{sup/9|V}} and the second {{p|Koraidon}}{{sup/9|S}}/{{p|Miraidon}}{{sup/9|V}}.

==In the games==
===Ancient Pokémon===
These Pokémon look like ancient relatives of contemporary Pokémon. They all share the {{a|Protosynthesis}} [[Ability]], with the exception of {{p|Koraidon}}, which has {{a|Orichalcum Pulse}}. Their Ability also involves the effect of [[harsh sunlight]] in the battle.

* In one arid corner of Paldea, there have been reports of a mysterious life-form. It's said to resemble a Donphan at first glance, albeit one with gigantic tusks, tough scales, and an aggressive disposition.
* Leading theories hold that this being is nothing less than a living relic of the dinosaur era, but no one can say for sure. Apparently, it's called Great Tusk after the name of a strange being that was written about in the mysterious Scarlet Book.

* This bizarre creature is said to combine traits of dinosaurs with those of the Pokémon Amoonguss. It's named after a fierce mushroom creature of matching description that appears in the renowned Scarlet Book.
* Brute Bonnet certainly resembles Amoonguss, though with its own unique twists: its gigantic stature and seemingly low intelligence combine to make it a savage, powerful fighter.

* Some scientists claim that this mysterious being is a Magneton that has lived for 10 thousand years. It has been sighted numerous times in Paldea's more arid regions, but there are no reports of it ever having been caught.
* It's said that Sandy Shocks is an aggressive sort and that some people who've seen it have been attacked as well. It takes its name from a beast with a matching description in the era-defining Scarlet Book.

* Somewhere in a Paldean forest, it's said, lurks Scream Tail—a being with Jigglypuff's own endearing puffball appearance but also a ferocious aggression that leads it to attack anyone who comes near.
* Its primitive appearance and savage nature have prompted rumors that it could be a Jigglypuff from one billion years ago. It's named after a creature in the Scarlet Book that is described as having a distinctive tail and scream.

* Flutter Mane—a name taken from a strange creature with a matching description appearing in the Scarlet Book—is said to float around the sky at night with its long hair writhing about it.
* Eyewitness accounts describe it as resembling a giant Misdreavus at first glance, albeit a highly fierce and aggressive one. Some believe that it's a ghost of a pterosaur from a long-gone era.

* There have been precious few sightings reported of the ultra-mysterious Slither Wing, a being whose name is taken from that of a similar-seeming creature described in the ever-puzzling Scarlet Book.
* Slither Wing shares traits with Volcarona, so some theorize that it may have been revived from fossils from a prehistoric era that we have discussed in these pages. However, no Volcarona fossils of that era are known to have been found.

* This elusive creature is called Roaring Moon after a similarly described being in the Scarlet Book. It looks similar to Salamence when they undergo [[Mega Evolution|a certain phenomenon elsewhere in the world]], but it's unclear if there is any connection.
* This creature scatters feathers as it flies around at high speeds seeking prey. It's thought to be more savage than Salamence, and if you should encounter one, it's imperative that you avoid actual contact.

* In one arid corner of Paldea, there have been reports of a mysterious life-form. It's said to resemble a Donphan at first glance, albeit one that can abruptly assume a spherical shape and launch into a swift rolling attack.
* Rumors say this being is some kind of weapon using technology not of this world, but no one can say for sure. Apparently, it's called Iron Treads after the name of a strange being that was written about in the mysterious Violet Book.

* The name Iron Moth was borrowed from that of a flying object described in the era-defining Violet Book. It was said to resemble Volcarona and would descend from the skies, following people around and occasionally even attacking them.
* Some point to Iron Moth's aggression as a sign that it is, in fact, a UFO of sorts being controlled by alien life. Perhaps something out there is using Iron Moth to observe us, waiting for the moment to mount an invasion...

* This being's name comes from the one given to an iron-handed entity in the mysterious Violet Book. It is said to have fists that move independent of its body and to be capable of throwing large, fast-moving vehicles.
* A leading theory holds that Iron Hands was once an athlete who became mortally wounded but was kept alive by being made into a cyborg. Why it so strongly resembles Hariyama, however, remains unanswered.

* This flying life-form bearing a resemblance to Hydreigon has been seen in a certain corner of Paldea. It was reported to have razed an entire building with a high-energy blast, then flown off as if to find its next objective.
* Iron Jugulis is theorized to be a sort of machine-Hydreigon hybrid, as it combines the former's ruthlessness with the latter's ferocity. It takes its name from a similarly described entity in the Violet Book.

* A strange being called Iron Thorns has been sighted in a certain cave in Paldea. This being bears a strong resemblance to Tyranitar, but it apparently displays great coolheadedness and prefers to avoid unnecessary fights.
* It appears to be highly intelligent and clad in metallic armor, causing some to speculate that it may be a Tyranitar as it would appear a billion years from now. Its name comes from a similarly described entity that appears in the Violet Book.

* The mysterious Violet Book makes reference to a being called Iron Bundle, which was said to look like Delibird and to possess a spherical apparatus from which it would fire huge blasts of ice to propel itself through snowy lands.
* Plenty of theories about it have been floated. A leading one suggests it is the product of a long-gone civilization—a notion supported by ancient writings that describe the design and usage of machines resembling Iron Bundle.

* This oddity's name is borrowed from that of an object described in the Violet Book. One theory holds that it is in fact a robot—the product of a mad scientist's efforts to create the most powerful psychic Pokémon of all.
* According to its few eyewitnesses, Iron Valiant appears similar to both Gardevoir and Gallade. It's also said to be cruel enough to take its brilliantly shining blade and cut down anyone confronting it without hesitation.

[[File:Scarlet Book Legendary-Beast.png|thumb|200px|Legendary Beast trio paradox Pokémon teaser from Scarlet Book]]
[[File:Violet Book Sword-Justice.png|thumb|200px|Swords of Justice trio paradox Pokémon teaser from Violet Book]]
* All Future Pokémon have English names starting with "Iron".
** While this doesn't explicitly apply to {{p|Miraidon}}, its past name was "Iron Serpent", as mentioned in its Pokédex entry from Pokémon Violet.
* {{p|Donphan}}, {{p|Volcarona}}, and {{p|Cyclizar}} are the only Pokémon to have Paradox counterparts in both Scarlet and Violet.
* {{p|Iron Valiant}} is the only Paradox Pokémon to be based off of more than one Pokémon.
* {{p|Roaring Moon}} and Iron Valiant can be considered counterparts of each other:
** They are the only Paradox Pokémon based off [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolved]] Pokémon.
** They share a base stat total of 590 instead of the 570 found in the non-{{pkmn2|Legendary}} Paradox Pokémon.
** Both have lower base stat totals than their Mega Evolved contemporaries.
** Both are separated from the other Paradox Pokémon in [[List of Pokémon by Paldea Pokédex number|Paldea Pokédex]] numbering.
** Both do not appear in any editions of "Occulture" in the [[Naranja Academy|Naranja]]/[[Uva Academy]] entrance hall.
* Roaring Moon, {{p|Iron Jugulis}}, and {{p|Iron Thorns}} are the only Paradox Pokémon to have a lower base stat total than their contemporaries.
* No Paradox Pokémon based on a {{DL|Pokémon Scarlet and Violet|version-exclusive Pokémon}} is available in the same game as its modern-day counterpart.
* The Paradox Pokémon share similarities with the [[Ultra Beast]]s:
** Both cannot evolve in the first set of games the groups appear in.
** Both play a role in the main story.
** Both groups consist of [[gender unknown]] Pokémon and are unable to [[No Eggs Discovered (Egg Group)|breed]].
** Both are connected to Legendary Pokémon.
** The majority of Pokémon in both groups have a base stat total of 570.
** With the exceptions of Koraidon and Miraidon, every Paradox Pokémon and every Ultra Beast has an Ability that boosts its most proficient non-HP stat.
** Promotional material for both groups' debut games did not refer to them as Pokémon or reveal any of their types prior to the games' releases.
** Characters in the games are initially unsure whether either group are actually Pokémon.
* Not counting {{p|Koraidon}} or Miraidon, all Ancient Pokémon have odd numbered stats while all Future Pokémon have even numbered stats.
** Additionally, all Ancient Pokémon are taller than the Pokémon they are based on, while all Future Pokémon (except Miraidon) are shorter.
** Furthermore, similarly to Ultra Beasts, all Ancient Pokémon share a unique sound frequency in their cries, while all Future Pokémon cries have electronic and mechanical noises.
* All [[type]]s except {{t|Normal}} are represented by at least one Paradox Pokémon.
* In the Scarlet and Violet books, there is a sketch of an imaginary Pokémon, based on Paradox Pokémon found in Area Zero. Depending on the version, the drawing is similar to the three [[Legendary beasts]]{{sup/9|S}} and another to the three [[Swords of Justice]]{{sup/9|V}}.
* [[Generation II]] has the most Paradox Pokémon counterparts of Pokémon that debuted during the generation, with five. [[Generation IV]] has the fewest, with only one.
* No Pokémon from generations {{gen|VI}}, {{gen|VII}}, or {{gen|VIII}} have Paradox Pokémon counterparts.
** However, Roaring Moon and Iron Valiant are based on Mega Evolved Pokémon, a concept introduced in Generation VI.
* The Pokédex entries for each group of Paradox Pokémon share a common theme depending on whether or not they can be natively found in that game:
** Scarlet's entries regarding Ancient Pokémon, as well as Violet's entries regarding Future Pokémon, regularly refer to an "expedition journal" or an "old book", referring to the Scarlet or Violet books, respectively.
** Alternatively, Violet's entries regarding Ancient Pokémon, as well as Scarlet's entries regarding Future Pokémon, regularly refer to a "paranormal" or "dubious" magazine to account for the lack of a Scarlet Book in Violet and the lack of a Violet Book in Scarlet.
** Koraidon's entry in Violet and Miraidon's entry in Scarlet both reference their resemblance to Cyclizar.

== Two things ==

#If you archive a user talk page, please add a link to the archived page somewhere at the top of the page, so other users could access it easier.
#I noticed you did four edits to a subpage of your userspace. Instead, be sure to preview your edits so you can catch errors. That way, you can reduce the amount of consecutive edits.

Thanks! [[User:Berrenta|Berrenta]] ([[User talk:Berrenta|talk]]) 21:03, 2 January 2017 (UTC)
:1. Okay, will do. How would I get to an archive?
:2. I did use preview. The first three edits I didn't want to do all at once, and the fourth was adding something I didn't know about when I was editing (the candidates for mainspace thing). I do try to use the preview feature. ----[[User:Celadonkey|Celadonkey]] 21:49, 2 January 2017 (UTC)

== Welcomes ==

FYI, we usually don't welcome users who haven't made any contributions. There are many accounts created on BP that never make any edits.

(Also, you need to add a link to the old talk page you archived at the top of this page, like Berrenta said above.)

[[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 21:16, 5 February 2017 (UTC)

::Your archive is [[User talk:Celadonkey/Archive]]. I know, it's sometimes hard to find things once you've moved them :) For future reference, if you start typing in the search bar, it'll give you a drop down with suggestions, that's how I found your archive--just started typing "User talk:Celadonkey" and it popped up :) '''[[User:Slimey01|slimey]][[User talk:Slimey01|01]]''' 00:53, 6 February 2017 (UTC)
:::You could also see it right in this page's history. Or you could even check your own contributions (up near the "log out" link). [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 01:15, 6 February 2017 (UTC)

== Trivia edits ==

Hey so uh idk how else to talk to you so I hope this is ok??
Anyway regarding Trivia, actually yeah I read the page you posted (Trivia Policy) and as I've been looking at the highest stats( for each type) the other day, I noticed there are more than 2 way ties sometimes, so I edited those out.
However I wanted to ask (I assume you're not a Trivia mod or anything but still) - when it comes to the Shuckle/Mega Steelix/Mega Aggron tie with Defense, it's the highest Defense of '''all Pokemon''', is that notable enough or not? I'd leave it on Shuckle's page, because it mentions its extreme stat distribution, but idk about the other two... thanks for help. [[User:KingisNitro|KingisNitro]] ([[User talk:KingisNitro|talk]]) 20:30, 26 February 2017 (UTC)
:I'm not a mod at all, lol. I don't even think I've been a member for a year! (although I have been using Bulbapedia since at least 2008 for info) the trivia policy page isn't mine, it's forcefire's.

:Honestly having something on Shuckle's page seems fine as long as you mention "non-mega evolved". --[[User:Celadonkey|Celad]][[User_talk:Celadonkey|onkey]] 20:32, 26 February 2017 (UTC)
::Just poking my head in here, staff members such as Tiddlywinks regularly remove highest-stat-trivia that mention "non-Mega Evolved" because making exceptions/clarifications like that make it unnotable. [[User:Pumpkinking0192|Pumpkinking0192]] ([[User talk:Pumpkinking0192|talk]]) 20:51, 26 February 2017 (UTC)
:::Huh, didn't know that. I thought it did the opposite. Thanks. --[[User:Celadonkey|Celad]][[User_talk:Celadonkey|onkey]] 21:01, 26 February 2017 (UTC)
::::Thanks for the comment, I mean with Shuckle I think it should stay because it's out of all Pokemon+Shuckle's Trivia talks about extremity of its stat distribution, but guess it should be edited out of Steelix and Aggron articles. I'm going ahead and deleting them until someone comes along and decides something else.
::::(Also, regarding non-Megas; Arceus's Defense still stays lmao...) [[User:KingisNitro|KingisNitro]] ([[User talk:KingisNitro|talk]]) 21:07, 26 February 2017 (UTC)
:::::Just stepping in, ties for the '''highest base stat''' or '''highest bst''' are '''notable'''. Other ties are not notable, however.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 04:21, 27 February 2017 (UTC)

==Hey Celadonkey==

I dont understand much of how to reply and stuff, so here is my reply, putting this on your page

Just a reply to your answer, I dont see any way to add a language on the side, just the ones that are there. Please help? {{unsigned|Adrizz}}
:Well, first of all, some talk page etiquette: Always sign your messages with four tildes (<nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>). Pressing enter five times in order to make a space between lines takes up a lot of room; one space between lines will do.

:Second of all, Bulbapedia is an English wiki. It is affiliated with, but not operated by the same people as Pokemon wikis in other languages, such as PokeWiki in German, Pokepedia in French, or 52Poke in Chinese. If you want to edit in a different languages, I'd go to those wikis. If you want to add a link on a Bulbapedia article to a corresponding article in, say, French, what you'd do is put <nowiki>[[fr:(the name of the French article here)]]</nowiki> at the bottom of the Bulbapedia article.

:I hope I answered your question. --[[User:Celadonkey|Celad]][[User_talk:Celadonkey|onkey]] 20:24, 11 March 2017 (UTC)
::But what I mean is a totally new language, which isnt there a.k.a Norwegian, my native tounge.

::Sooo what can I do? {{unsigned|Adrizz}}
:::First of all, good job with the spacing, but remember to put four tildes (<nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>) after you've finished your comment. This makes a signature. Also, make sure to add colons before your comments. I added some for you, you can look in the code to see what I mean. You should add one more colon than the person before you did.

:::To make a new wiki in a completely new language is outside of Bulbapedia's powers. As I said, Bulbapedia is "affiliated with, but not operated by the same people as Pokemon wikis in other languages". This means the people who operate Bulbapedia do not also operate foreign Pokemon wikis. To make a new wiki, you'd have to set up your own server, and set everything up there, and then contact Bulbapedia to see if you can affiliate with the owners. --[[User:Celadonkey|Celad]][[User_talk:Celadonkey|onkey]] 20:31, 11 March 2017 (UTC)
::::Side note: I see you've added Magearna's Norwegian name, and that's awesome. If you could add the Norwegian name for as many Pokemon as possible, that would be great, and I'm sure Bulbapedia would really appreciate it. --[[User:Celadonkey|Celad]][[User_talk:Celadonkey|onkey]] 20:33, 11 March 2017 (UTC)

== Removing the one at Mega Evolving ==

Yes, I talked specific about Sun and Moon, as its the only game I know how to obtain these things, and others could've added the X and Y version and fixed that, instead, you removed the whole thing, please.

I even copied the whole thing

In [[Pokémon Sun and Moon]] you can obtain a [[Key Stone]] and a [[Alakazite]] by going to [[Vast Poni Canyon]] and then walking on the path to the [[Battle Tree]] There you will be greeted by [[Dexio]] and [[Sina]].[[Dexio]] tells you about the mega stone, and challenges you to a battle. He will have these pokemon,at level 61, an [[Espeon]], an [[Alolan Raichu]], a [[Slowking]], an [[Metagross]] and an [[Alakazam]] holding an [[Alakazite]], and [[Dexio]] mega evolves [[Alakazam]] into an [[Mega Alakazam]], and if you beat [[Dexio]], he gives you both items, and you are free to continue to the [[Battle Tree]] where you can buy various [[Mega Stones]] for BattlePoints (BP)

yes i did.

Soooooooo, can you readd it please?

[[User:Adrizz|Adrizz]] ([[User talk:Adrizz|talk]]) 21:11, 11 March 2017 (UTC)
:Yeah, I read it. The reason I undid it is because this is the type of thing you'd find in a walkthrough. Maybe a more concise, less detailed version could be added elsewhere on the page, but this is way too specific and in the wrong place.

:A lot of things that you write will be undone. A lot of things I've added have been undone. After some time, you will get a grasp on the type of style and information Bulbapedia strives for. --[[User:Celadonkey|Celad]][[User_talk:Celadonkey|onkey]] 21:20, 11 March 2017 (UTC)
::Hey, I just added a summary for X and Y, as I found a video online how to, and then just read this, could you reedit it to fit more what you mean? {{unsigned|Adrizz}}
:::Thanks for checking in. After some careful thought, I decided that this belongs at the Key Stone article, because it's about obtaining the ability to Mega Evolve, not the process of Mega Evolution itself, but... It's already there. Sorry :C --[[User:Celadonkey|Celad]][[User_talk:Celadonkey|onkey]] 21:47, 11 March 2017 (UTC)
::::Oh.. Well, Im new to atchually wiki editing. Im not known that that part belongs there and then I think its that place and blah blah blah. Well, its just a noobish dude trying to help, (thats me)

::::Well, anyways, I gotta go soon, so bye!

== Comments ==

Please do not edit talk page comments, even your own, to fix any errors. Just leave them be. Thank you.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 07:04, 14 March 2017 (UTC)
:Alright. --[[User:Celadonkey|Celad]][[User_talk:Celadonkey|onkey]] 11:05, 14 March 2017 (UTC)

== Category linking ==

Just a tip, when linking directly to category pages, use either {{template|cat}} or a colon before "Category" (eg. <nowiki>[[:Category: X]]</nowiki>). Linking categories like any other namespace just adds the page to the category instead of creating an actual link.--[[User:Cold|Cold]] ([[User talk:Cold|talk]]) 23:11, 15 March 2017 (UTC)
:Woah, that's bad! I didn't know that. Thanks for letting me know. --[[User:Celadonkey|Celad]][[User_talk:Celadonkey|onkey]] 23:24, 15 March 2017 (UTC)

== Location names ==

As a rule, I would ask that you not change text in item location descriptions based on the guidebook's names. Oftentimes, your change turns the description from something immediately useful to something completely opaque unless people realize they have to look elsewhere on the page as well. And those descriptions should be as helpful as possible without asking people to go back and forth on the page.

Can you also tell me whether any of these area names are used outside of captions? I'm wondering if these are really capitalized names or if they might only be in title case because of the context you're taking it from (and sentence case could be the proper default).

:::Yeah, me too. I kind of wish (read: I very much wish) that we could just start putting stuff in the mainspace slowly rather than all at once, because then more activity would be spurred, but until then, I will just occasionally work on my stuff. --[[User:Celadonkey|Celadonkey]] 03:33, 28 October 2018 (UTC)

My name is Xeraphyy. Last month, a tweet was made announcing that Bulbapedia was going through some site upgrades. The link to the tweet is below.

What did I do wrong?
[[User:Motdab|Motdab]] ([[User talk:Motdab|talk]]) 11:35, 15 June 2020 (UTC)

I didn't mean to merge a page by copy-pasting its contents to a new page. I want to move the page "[[Weather trio]]" to "Super-ancient Pokémon", but I cannot do that.

== general user page help for others==

i will just keep this breif, so if your a new user how many edits do you need to make a user page?

this has been S.W.A.I.

[[User:Snorlax With Anger Issuess|Snorlax With Anger Issuess]] ([[User talk:Snorlax With Anger Issuess|talk]]) 03:07, 2 December 2020 (UTC)
:Just keep making edits in the mainspace and you'll eventually be able to make your userpage. [[User:Animaltamer7|Animaltamer7]] ([[User talk:Animaltamer7|talk]]) 04:39, 2 December 2020 (UTC)

::SWAI, that number is kept secret. As far as I know there's also a time aspect. Basically what Animaltamer said... as long as you keep being a diligent editor, you'll get that privilege. (Admittedly, I have not been so diligent lately, but that's for mostly personal reasons...)

::However, I don't think it's a good idea to just make edits for the purpose of being able to create a userpage. The point of Bulbapedia is to contribute to the site as a whole; it's not a social media. That's more or less why the specifics are kept secret.

::Also, I hope this doesn't come off as rude, but Animaltamer, you don't need to answer questions for me on my talk page. Although I might not be going out of my way to edit much, I do check my watchlist every single day for anything important. I appreciate the sentiment though. --[[User:Celadonkey|celadonk]] ([[User talk:Celadonkey|talk]]) 21:25, 2 December 2020 (UTC)

== Delete Account ==

Hey, I'm just trying to figure out how I can do about deleting my account here per the California Consumer Privacy Act. Do you know what I would need to do or who I would need to talk to?

Thanks {{unsigned|Brieoncrackers}}
:I've brought it up to staff. --[[User:Celadonkey|celadonk]] ([[User talk:Celadonkey|talk]]) 03:33, 31 January 2021 (UTC)
::Unfortunately, it is not currently possible to safely delete user accounts on Bulbapedia due to limitations in the Mediawiki software. This issue has been raised with the developers of the Mediawiki software, and the feature may be made available in the future.

== Anime series sections ==

Hey, I created a proposal of adding series sections in the articles for Pokémon species. For instance, adding "Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl", "Pokémon the Series: Black & White", etc. sections in {{p|Pikachu}}.

This is being discussed here: [[Bulbapedia talk:Editor's Hub#Pokémon pages with anime series sections]]. --[[User:Daniel Carrero|Daniel Carrero]] ([[User talk:Daniel Carrero|talk]]) 23:04, 9 March 2021 (UTC)
:Hey Daniel,

:I don't really watch the anime, but I can check the proposal out. Thanks for letting me know. --[[User:Celadonkey|celadonk]] ([[User talk:Celadonkey|talk]]) 01:47, 10 March 2021 (UTC)

::Sure, no problem. :) --[[User:Daniel Carrero|Daniel Carrero]] ([[User talk:Daniel Carrero|talk]]) 01:54, 10 March 2021 (UTC)

== Type effectivness ==

I see you reverted my edits on type pages. I thought that since "Effectiveness" section show type relations, there should be mentioned moves that technically are particular type but break the rules on type relations.--'''[[User:Team Rocket Grunt|Rocket]] [[User talk:Team Rocket Grunt|Grunt]]''' 14:19, 27 April 2021 (UTC)
:I don't think it's useful information. Struggle is a move that has a lot of separate type effectiveness properties from its type, compared to something like Freeze-Dry, so listing it on all of the affected types is quite redundant. This is why, I assume, that Flying Press isn't listed on the Grass page as well, for example. For some moves it's much better to just list it on the move's page, and I believe the moves you were adding fall into that.

:If you'd like to bring it up for further discussion, you can post about it on a talk page. --[[User:Celadonkey|celadonk]] ([[User talk:Celadonkey|talk]]) 19:15, 27 April 2021 (UTC)
::It is absolutely necessary to write every exception to the rule. We can't allow to have any misleading information. I'm still considering the addition of Flying Press as it isn't really dual type move in game data. --'''[[User:Team Rocket Grunt|Rocket]] [[User talk:Team Rocket Grunt|Grunt]]''' 20:06, 27 April 2021 (UTC)
:::I see that you've gone ahead and added it all back. You need to bring it up on a talk page ''before'' adding it to the articles, especially when you're undoing an administrator- this is verging on edit warring. --[[User:Celadonkey|celadonk]] ([[User talk:Celadonkey|talk]]) 22:30, 27 April 2021 (UTC)

== Greetings ==

I've made a ''very'' large number of helpful mainspace edits. I humbly ask if there's a possibility to bring me back my userspace privileges. Finally, once I get my userspace privileges back, I will prove to you that I will be responsible with the userspace privileges in the future by remembering to use the preview button while exiting userspace pages, so as to avoid editing many times in a row. --[[User:SaturnMario|SaturnMario]], [[User talk:SaturnMario|his talk]] and [[Special:Contributions/SaturnMario|his contributions]] 04:41, 3 July 2021 (UTC)
:Hey SaturnMario,

:You might have a better time bringing this up to some other staff, I'm just a junior administrator and I honestly had no idea that your userspace privileges were ever revoked.

:I'll pass the message on to the rest of staff, though. --[[User:Celadonkey|celadonk]] ([[User talk:Celadonkey|talk]]) 18:18, 3 July 2021 (UTC)

== Userpage question ==

Hey Celadonkey,
Sorry if this isn't the right place to ask, but I have a bulbapedia userpage from 2008 that I'd like to go in and edit (didn't quite understand the internet back then lol). I don't have access to that old account though, so I'd need admin permission to edit. Is this something you're able to grant? Happy to provide any additional info needed.

Thanks :) {{unsigned|Mylatte}}
:Hey Mylatte,

:When you get autoconfirmed, you can create a new userpage with the content you'd like. --[[User:Celadonkey|celadonk]] ([[User talk:Celadonkey|talk]]) 02:28, 16 April 2022 (UTC)
::Pro tip: once you're autoconfirmed Mylatte, you can copy the source code of your old page and paste it into your new page, that way you can build off of what you had before. [[User:Landfish7|'''Land''']][[User talk:Landfish7|'''fish7''']] 02:42, 16 April 2022 (UTC)

Hey guys,
Thanks for the quick reply! Sorry, what I meant to ask was if I could have permission to edit my old userpage from 2008 because it had some personal details I put on there that I'd like to remove haha.

Thanks! [[User:Mylatte|Mylatte]] ([[User talk:Mylatte|talk]]) 03:32, 16 April 2022 (UTC)Mylatte

==New Article and Category Proposal -- Flora of the Pokémon World==
So uh, I think you can pretty much guess what I'm getting at here, but to clarify this is specifically in relation to things such as berries and other items as opposed to the grass-type. Flora in Pokémon works pretty much like in the real world mostly, although a few instances stand out. I've [https://forums.bulbagarden.net/index.php?threads/new-article-proposal-flora-of-the-pokemon-world.292264/ posted] this idea on the forums, and I've been sporadically working on an outline for such an article on my personal page, but there seems to be a lack of interest. So yeah, I decided to directly go to an admin.
I know I'm not a big editor on this wiki (or any for that matter) but flora plays a bigger part in the games and other media than most people realize and I feel it's a shame that it's being overlooked, so I'm asking if you could at least discuss this with the other admins and get their thoughts. I know that you can't promise anything but it is something at least to consider, so thanks in advance for hearing me out at least. [[User:Manga-in-a-bottle|Manga-in-a-bottle]] ([[User talk:Manga-in-a-bottle|talk]]) 03:30, 5 June 2022 (UTC)

== Account Deletion Request ==

Hey there, I've been looking through the sites recommendations, and I wanted to say that I want to delete my account because I dont use it anymore and its not needed for me.

Would you be able to help me fulfill my request? {{unsigned|BurningTyphlosion}}

== Add Hisui to Regional Pokedex Templates ==

Hey, I'm requesting the addition of Hisui to the regional Pokédex table templates (LADex). It's been 8 months since Legends: Arceus came out and it still hasn't been added. If you're not sure how, please pass this message to someone who knows. Thanks, [[User:PinkYoshiGaming|PinkYoshiGaming]] ([[User talk:PinkYoshiGaming|talk]]) 18:23, 14 September 2022 (UTC)

== Image Revision Request ==

Hello, still fairly new to the rules of this wiki so I may be doing this wrong but I read somewhere here that I’m supposed to get the permission of an admin to revise an image.

The Emerald art of Brandon uses the wrong colour palette, and the newly revealed Brandon TCG card shows off a more accurate palette.

With the help of my friend NamMisa I was able to restore the image to near accurate colours.

I was wondering if the wiki could use the image under the (subject to change) filename “Emerald Pyramid King Brandon.png”

Unfortunately, it seems I can’t attach the image here. Hopefully there’s a way to do so.

Please do let me know your thoughts on this matter.

[[User:ThatKidFromSinnoh|ThatKidFromSinnoh]] ([[User talk:ThatKidFromSinnoh|talk]]) 8:24, 26 October 2022 (UTC)
:Hey, thanks for reaching out. If you have upload permissions on the Archives you should just be able to upload it as a new version of the existing file. If not, then maybe you could try sending the image in the #bulbapedia channel of the Bulbagarden Discord for someone else to upload? --[[User:Celadonkey|celadonk]] ([[User talk:Celadonkey|talk]]) 18:43, 28 October 2022 (UTC)

'''Teddiursa''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ヒメグマ''' ''Himeguma'') is a {{type|Normal}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation II]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Ursaring}} starting at [[level]] 30.

In [[Hisui]], Ursaring evolves into {{p|Ursaluna}} when exposed to a [[Peat Block]] during a [[Time#Time-based evolutions|full moon]].

==Biology==
Teddiursa is a bipedal, ursine {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} covered in short, orange-brown fur. Its muzzle is a light tan color with a small black nose and black eyes with white irises. There is a slightly paler tan crescent marking on its face, and it has round ears. It has three claws on its forepaws as well as two claws and yellow paw pads on its hind paws. Its tail is short, round, and puffy.

Teddiursa can use {{p|Beedrill}}'s pollen and fruit to create its own honey. The marking on its face could glow when it finds a honey already made. Honey tend to be absorbed into Teddiursa's forepaws, and it is always seen licking them. Teddiursa can be cunning, stealing into the nests of {{p|Combee}} and taking the honey that they have amassed for itself. It will hide food throughout its territory before food becomes scarce in winter. Teddiursa lives in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Mountain Pokémon|mountainous forests}}.

==In the anime==
===Main series===
[[File:Margo Teddiursa.png|thumb|left|250px|Teddiursa in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]
[[File:Teddiursa Egg.png|thumb|100px|A Teddiursa {{pkmn|Egg}} in the anime]]
====Major appearances====
Teddiursa debuted in ''[[M03|Spell of the Unown: Entei]]'', where [[Molly Hale]] used an illusion of one, created by the {{OBP|Unown|M03}}, as her second Pokémon in her {{pkmn|battle}} against {{an|Brock}}. It quickly defeated {{TP|Brock|Vulpix}} with a combination of {{m|Dynamic Punch}} and {{m|Fury Swipes}}. She was later seen playing with a real Teddiursa during the ending credits.

Teddiursa made its main series debut in ''[[EP186|UnBEARable]]''. It was a manipulative thief who would pretend to be cute to humans in order to steal their food and blame it on their Pokémon. Ultimately, after a battle with {{AP|Ash's Chikorita|Bayleef}}, it evolved into {{p|Ursaring}} and was thus no longer able to use its charm on humans with ease, though it ''would'' be able to hunt for food on its own.

In ''[[M21|The Power of Us]]'', a Teddiursa befriended by [[Margo]] was targeted alongside a {{p|Ditto}} by [[Pokémon poacher|Pokémon hunters]] looking for {{OBP|Zeraora|M21}}. They were then saved by Zeraora, {{OBP|Ash Ketchum|M20|Ash}}, and his friends.

==Trivia==
* Teddiursa is one of the fourteen Pokémon for which [[foreign Pokédex entries]] can be collected in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}.
* Teddiursa is the only non-{{cat|Generation I Pokémon}} with a unique sprite in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} (aside from the [[List of Pokémon with form differences|different forms]] of {{p|Deoxys}}).
* Teddiursa can be seen as a parallel to {{p|Phanpy}}: their evolution lines are exclusive to opposite versions of {{game|Gold and Silver|s}} and {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} (and are the only Pokémon to swap version-exclusive status between localizations), they each have one evolved form prior to [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]], and they both have {{a|Pickup}} as an [[Ability]] and lose it upon evolution.
* Despite not being in {{g|Sword and Shield}}, an early [[Pokémon Sword and Shield beta|prototype build]] of the game featured a Teddiursa charm on {{ga|Gloria}}'s bag. This was removed in later prototype builds.

===Origin===
Teddiursa appears to be based on a bear {{wp|cub}}, such as the cub of an {{wp|Asian black bear}}, whose Japanese name (ツキノワグマ ''tsukinowaguma'') literally means "ring-of-the-moon bear". Teddiursa's appearance also resembles a {{wp|teddy bear}}, and possibly the cubs of other {{wp|honey bear}} species such as the {{wp|sun bear}} or {{wp|sloth bear}}.

'''Phanpy''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ゴマゾウ''' ''Gomazou'') is a {{type|Ground}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation II]].

It [[Evolution|evolve]]s into {{p|Donphan}} starting at [[level]] 25.

==Biology==
Phanpy is a small, horizon-blue elephant-like {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. It has large, floppy ears, which it uses as fans to cool itself. There are two red pads on each ear and another on the bridge of its short trunk. This small trunk is sensitive, yet strong. It can send a person flying with an affectionate, playful bump of its snout. Additionally, this little Pokémon is easily capable of carrying an adult human on its back. Phanpy has a single nail on each of its four feet, and a short tail.

Phanpy is found in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Rough-terrain Pokémon|rocky terrain}}. To make its nest, it digs a vertical pit near the edge of a river. It displays ownership of this area by marking it with its trunk. In the deserted morning hours, Phanpy uses its trunk to shower in the river. Sometimes, groups of this Pokémon form and soak each other thoroughly. Afterwards, it can be seen drying its body near the edge of the river.

==Trivia==
* Phanpy can be seen as a parallel to {{p|Teddiursa}}: their evolution lines are exclusive to opposite versions of {{game|Gold and Silver|s}} and {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} (and are the only Pokémon to swap version-exclusive status between localizations), they each have one evolved form prior to [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]], and they both have {{a|Pickup}} as an [[Ability]] and lose it upon evolution.

===Origin===
Phanpy seems to be based on an {{wp|elephant}} {{wp|calf#Other animals|calf}}. The red pads on its snout and ears may be inspired by the fabrics and jewelry used to adorn elephants during various {{wp|Elephant Festival|celebrations}} in India.

====Name origin====
Phanpy may be derived from ''elephant'' and possibly ''infant'' or the diminutive suffix ''-y''.

Gomazou may be a combination of 細かい ''komakai'' (small, minute) and 象 ''zō'' (elephant).

You can add "Variante regional" for Brazilian Portuguese on "In other languages" seciton. [[User:Muriloricci|Muriloricci]] ([[User talk:Muriloricci|talk]]) 16:03, 2 August 2016 (UTC)

== Is "Regional variant" an official term? ==

Is this an official term? I know Alolan Forme is, but is this as well?[[User:Trainer Yusuf|Trainer Yusuf]] ([[User talk:Trainer Yusuf|talk]]) 12:44, 9 August 2016 (UTC)
: Yes: http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon/ [[User:Glik|glik]][[User talk:Glik|glak]] 14:03, 9 August 2016 (UTC)

== Arbok ==

Shouldn't Arbok's regional forms be listed here? If I remember correctly, its pattern changes in every region in which it appears. [[User:Menace64|Menace64]] ([[User talk:Menace64|talk]]) 02:24, 10 August 2016 (UTC)
:This is a formal thing. If Arbok is not identified as a "regional variant", it's not one.
:Also, regional variants are fundamentally pretty ''significantly'' different from the rest of their species; they've ''adapted''. Differing patterns is neither significant nor a real adaptation. [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 02:29, 10 August 2016 (UTC)

== Alolan Variants Should Have Their Own Pages ==

I don't think it's fair that Alolan variant Pokemon are only side notes on their "normal variant" pages. These Alolan formes are not like Hoopa Unbound or Arial Shaymin. Those Pokemon eventually find ways of returning to their original formes. These Alolan formes are inherent to the Pokemon, they will never change into their "normal" counterpart. They will have different abilities, different move sets, different typings. I think they merit having their own pages. For example keep the regular Ninetales page, and add another one entitled Ninetales (Alola). {{unsigned|Milotic1209}}
:We literally have no information about them except for the appearances, types, and some of their abilities. We don't have enough info to have their own pages, and even if we did, it's still a Vulpix, it's still a Ninetails...they aren't brand new Pokémon altogether. --[[User:HoennMaster|Hoenn]][[User talk:HoennMaster|Master]] 06:31, 10 August 2016 (UTC)
::We have seen Alolan Ninetales use Ice Beam, at least. Sky Shaymin would make for a fair base, what with Air Slash exclusivity there. [[User:Phineas81707|Phineas81707]] ([[User talk:Phineas81707|talk]]) 02:12, 11 August 2016 (UTC)
:::But people give new Pokemon Bulbapedia entries all the time without knowing what their full set list, abilities, evolution levels, etc. are going to be. Bewear alrealdy has a page, so that argument is kind of moot. In the case of Alolan Variants, every time one has been revealed we've gotten typing and even abilities, so we definitely have enough to start building pages for them and then fill them out completely once we know all the details. And yes it is still a Vulpix and Ninetales, but with a completely different appearance, diifferent abilities, I think that if we keep adding variants to the pages of "normal" Pokemon, it's going to start looking REALLY messy. I mean what if two generations down the line there's a ground typed Ninetales, are we seriously going to have all three versions on the same page? Crowded much? {{unsigned|Milotic1209}}
::::There have already been {{p|Wormadam|Pokémon}} with {{p|Deoxys|different forms}} that had significant differences. They all fit on one page just fine. [[User:Glik|glik]][[User talk:Glik|glak]] 16:06, 11 August 2016 (UTC)
:::::Fine, whatever. It seems most people are ok with everything being on one page. It seems to me that having regional variants of a Pokemon is a pretty momentous thing, that deserves more of a spotlight, but if no one really cares, then I give up. :P [[User:Milotic1209|Milotic1209]] ([[User talk:Milotic1209|talk]]) 16:12, 11 August 2016 (UTC)
::::::All Pokémon get their own page. That's why Bewear and all the Generation VII Pokémon have pages already. It's a different scenario. --[[User:HoennMaster|Hoenn]][[User talk:HoennMaster|Master]] 19:35, 11 August 2016 (UTC)
:::::::I agree that having new pages for alernate formes is a bit redundant, but for pokemon like Rotom or Arceus that have a lot of different typings or others like Alolan Vulpix that have very different learnset things can get a bit confusing. Is it possible to just hide the "alternative forms" typing matchups and learnset in the same way older generation moveset are hidden (even if it technically means creating a new page, but still not a whole new page for the same Pokémon, so it could be acceptable i think?) Or with some code that just changes the section of the tab that is shown in the article by clicking on the desired choice. This could be particulary useful for things like the weakness and resistance tab of pokemon like rotom or arceus and the pokeathlon stats of Arceus, just listing examples that come to my mind.[[User:Verucieru|Verucieru]] ([[User talk:Verucieru|talk]]) 13:21, 7 December 2016 (UTC)

==Descriptions==

What I mean by descriptions is the explanation that the official website uses for how the Pokémon developed these changes. For example, Meowth was a gift to the Alolan royal line from another region, and they developed a spoiled lifestyle, and then the Alolan monarchy fell, leaving the Alolan Meowth to become feral, and then they became normal Pokémon. So, I'm asking if these should go somewhere on Bulbapedia, and if they should, then where? Here, or on the pages for the individual Pokémon? [[User:MarioMiner|MarioMiner]] ([[User talk:MarioMiner|talk]]) 21:32, 11 August 2016 (UTC)
:They're on the species pages (or will be added soonish). [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 21:41, 11 August 2016 (UTC)

== Generation I only ==

At the moment, I believe there should be something on the page stating that thus far, only Pokemon from [[Generation I]] have regional variants. [[User:Superjustinbros.|Superjustinbros.]] ([[User talk:Superjustinbros.|talk]]) 03:44, 7 September 2016 (UTC)
:No. It'll be just fine to wait for anything like that until the game is out and we know for sure. [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 12:13, 7 September 2016 (UTC)
::It was confirmed in a recent interview that all Alolan Pokemon are Generation 1 Pokemon because of the 20th Anniversary, I think it's worth noting that now. [[User:TrainerSplash|TrainerSplash]] ([[User talk:TrainerSplash|talk]])
:::Which interview was that? Could you link it here? --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 01:59, 25 October 2016 (UTC)
::::http://time.com/4536438/pokemon-sun-moon-interview/ Mostly it comes from the quote "we have in the Alola region these specific regional variances of existing Pokémon. A lot of players from the original games will see their old favorites, but with new takes." [[User:Superjustinbros.|Superjustinbros.]] ([[User talk:Superjustinbros.|talk]]) 05:40, 29 October 2016 (UTC)

== Alolan Rattata's typing origin for the trivia page ==

I'm going to post this here since no one is going to look at the Rattata discussion page

In Hawaii, the mongoose was introduced to keep the rat population under control, but the mongoose that they introduced was active during the day. The rat was nocturnal. The mongoose has actually been causing problems for the local bird populations. I first learned about it from an episode of Hawaii 5-0 (Season 4 Episode 2), but here's a little more info: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Invasive_species_in_Hawaii#Historical_examples [[User:Srushj11|Srushj11]] ([[User talk:Srushj11|talk]]) 03:34, 13 October 2016 (UTC)

== Mechanics ==

So, for certain Pokémon where only the evolved form is a regional variant (Exeggutor, Marowak, Raichu), do we know the exact mechanics of how this works? Example - would any Cubone evolve into a Marowak at night in Alola, or only a Cubone originating from the region? Further, (and I understand we won't really know this until there's external future games, but it's something to consider) would a Cubone originating from Alola evolve into a Ghost/Fire Marowak in another game? I thought these questions might be helpful in narrowing down some specifics. Mostly, I got wondering about this because I thought the branched evolutions on Cubone, Exeggcute, and Pikachu's page (and their evolution lines' pages, of course) might benefit from specifying "in Alola" or "from Alola". I understand if I'm overthinking this. [[User:Draceon|Draceon]] ([[User talk:Draceon|talk]]) 05:55, 5 December 2016 (UTC)
:From what I've heard from other folks, all such Pokémon that are native to Alola can only evolve into the Alola Form and all those that the game does not recognize as native to Alola (so either transferred from an older game, or hacked to appear transferred from an older game) can only evolve into the standard form. I'm not sure whether this is determined by the [[blue pentagon|black clover]] or some other method. And I'm just reporting secondhand, for that matter, so I can't confirm for certain. I and/or my source might well have misunderstood the mechanics. Once Pokémon Bank is updated it'll be a lot easier for folks to figure it out for sure. [[User:Pumpkinking0192|Pumpkinking0192]] ([[User talk:Pumpkinking0192|talk]]) 06:16, 5 December 2016 (UTC)

== Article naming ==

So, say if a trainer in the anime catches an alolan form of a pokemon, what would the name of the article be?
Example: Ash's Alolan Raticate, or just Ash's Raticate?-- --[[User:Handmaiden 101|Handmaiden 101]] ''([[User talk:Handmaiden 101|tAlk]])'' 08:03, 6 December 2016 (UTC)
:It would be "Ash's Diglett" etc. if Ash catches an Alolan Diglett etc. Compare [[Zoey's Gastrodon]]. (I specifically avoided "Ash's Raticate" because he already owned one, so that might be a bit tricky to deal with.) --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 08:38, 6 December 2016 (UTC)
::It's possible we would follow the precedent set by [[James' second Victreebel]]. [[User:Pumpkinking0192|Pumpkinking0192]] ([[User talk:Pumpkinking0192|talk]]) 17:09, 6 December 2016 (UTC)

== Trivia ==

*Geodude and its evolutionary relatives are the only three-stage evolutionary line to receive Alola forms.
Can we add this trivia? --[[User:AwesomeDJPokemon|'''AwesomeDJ''Pokémon''''']] 15:26, 7 December 2016 (UTC)
:I don't think it's notable. It's clearly evident from glancing casually at the list in the article. [[User:Pumpkinking0192|Pumpkinking0192]] ([[User talk:Pumpkinking0192|talk]]) 17:41, 7 December 2016 (UTC)

==Sinnoh==
I think Shellos and Gastrodon's variations technically count as regional variants. What do you think? {{unsigned|Pescavelho}}
:That's more of a coastal difference, since the two forms are only for which side of the region their from, being east and west.[[User:Animaltamer7|Animaltamer7]]12:35, 18 December 2016 (UTC)
::More importantly, it's not canonically identified as a regional variant. Therefore, it's not one. We can't deal in speculation and cruft. [[User:Pumpkinking0192|Pumpkinking0192]] ([[User talk:Pumpkinking0192|talk]]) 05:32, 19 December 2016 (UTC)

==Kanto==
At the end of the game, Hau mentions that the player's mom's Meowth is "Kantonian" would this be notable to put anywhere? I was thinking to include it under the Kanto page under it's own trivia section similar to how the Kalos one mentions that the adjective term for Kalos is Kalosian. But knowing how it might just refer to the type of Meowth found in Kanto would it be worth adding here instead? [[User:TrainerSplash|TrainerSplash]] ([[User talk:TrainerSplash|talk]]) 06:42, 22 December 2016 (UTC)
:Normal Meowth are definitely not only found in Kanto. And Hau could have just been playing around. Unless that specific term is used a lot more, we probably shouldn't jump on it for an "official" regional form. [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 06:55, 22 December 2016 (UTC)

== Breeding Trivia ==

Is it worth mentioning that a Pokémon that has an Alolan form can pass their Hidden Ability to their Alolan form via breeding? I just bred a Grimer with Poison Touch, and the Egg hatched into an Alolan Grimer with Power of Alchemy. --[[User:PKMNAdventurer|PKMNAdventurer]] ([[User talk:PKMNAdventurer|talk]]) 18:18, 2 April 2017 (UTC)
:Hidden Abilities (and regular Abilities, for that matter) work off "slots", so this is to be expected. I think it might be worth mentioning on the inheritance section of [[Ability]], but I'm not sure if it's worth noting here, and it certainly wouldn't be appropriate for Trivia. If it goes on this page, it should be worked into the actual main prose of the article somewhere. [[User:Pumpkinking0192|Pumpkinking0192]] ([[User talk:Pumpkinking0192|talk]]) 04:31, 3 April 2017 (UTC)

== can someone explain this bit? ==

"if a Pokémon evolves from a species that does not have a regional variant to one that does, then, in Alola, it will always evolve into its Alola Form and cannot evolve into its normal form." I don't understand it --[[User:Draph91|Draph91]] ([[User talk:Draph91|talk]]) 20:06, 24 August 2017 (UTC)
: An example: Cubone doesn't have an Alolan form, but Marowak does have one. If a Cubone evolves in the Alola region, it will always evolve into Alolan Marowak and not into a regular Marowak. [[User:Satsjoe|Satsjoe]] ([[User talk:Satsjoe|talk]]) 20:12, 24 August 2017 (UTC)

oh I understand now --[[User:Draph91|Draph91]] ([[User talk:Draph91|talk]]) 11:31, 26 August 2017 (UTC)

== Regional Variant vs. Regional Form ==

Would we have to change/redirect the page's name to reflect the new name for the concept? [[User:PDL|PDL]] ([[User talk:PDL|talk]]) 23:15, 7 August 2019 (UTC)
* This is good possibility with the new recon name, ultimately we need the admins vote on this matter.--[[User:Jacob9594|Jacob Kogan]] ([[User talk:Jacob9594|talk]]) 01:11, 8 August 2019 (UTC)
::Personally, I'd rather wait until the game comes out before we move any pages. If in-game they're "regional variants" still, despite the promotional material for the games using "regional form", then we should keep the page at the former. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 10:51, 8 August 2019 (UTC)
== Regional Evolutions ==
Shouldn't we have a separate catergory for galarian evolutions - - ''unsigned comment from {{u|Shinx089}} ([[User talk:Shinx089|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Shinx089|contribs]]) ''
:Do you mean a category like {{cat|Pokémon that only evolve in Galar}}? --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 02:50, 21 September 2019 (UTC)
::Can we give regional evolution a section on this page?It make the Galrian From section less chunky and more balanced? It will make things more fair and easy to find.--[[User:Jacob9594|Jacob Kogan]] ([[User talk:Jacob9594|talk]]) 17:43, 21 December 2019 (UTC)

== Huge templates ==

The templates in this page that compare the regional variants to the originals are way too large to display properly in my browser. Think we can tone down the size of them? [[User:Mr. Daikon|Mr. Daikon]] ([[User talk:Mr. Daikon|talk]]) 22:08, 13 December 2019 (UTC)

:I second this. Viewing the page while logged in is okay, but when I'm logged out the Galarian table gets partially cut off because it's so wide. Maybe the stats could be compressed into a single column per form instead of four to reduce width. [[User:Croaker|Croaker]] ([[User talk:Croaker|talk]]) 12:55, 10 January 2020 (UTC)

::I'm logged in and Galar is being cut off (Alola is fine). I think the best way might be to shrink the images from 150px to 120, 100 etc [[User:Pallukun|Pallukun]] ([[User talk:Pallukun|talk]]) 23:49, 11 January 2020 (UTC)

== Individual pages ==

[[User:Chosen/Sandbox/Alolan Raichu (Pokémon)|This page]] has existed for a couple months now, and I think it needs to be mainspaced, along with individual pages for other regional forms.

I understand that there are certain non-regional Pokemon with significant differences that have all fit on one page, but with new Galarian forms, especially Pokemon like Meowth and Darmanitan, pages and infoboxes are getting really clunky and confusing, much more so than Pokemon like Deoxys or Wormadam, for example. Outside of name and number, regional forms act, function, and are treated like effectively different Pokemon. --[[User:Celadonkey|celadonk]] ([[User talk:Celadonkey|talk]]) 17:32, 11 January 2020 (UTC)

== Alolan Envoronment ==

Apart from Alolan Forms, according to Pokedex some Pokemon also differ in Alola. I don't know if it has any significance, but these Pokemon are:

(Poliwrath) Poliwrath in the Alola region are strong swimmers that use the breaststroke. Many children learn to swim by imitating Poliwrath. 
(Delibird) Although it naturally prefers colder locales, Delibird in Alola seem able to withstand the heat to a certain extent. 
(Makuhita) It was originally brought in from another region, but now Makuhita from Alola are more famous. 
(Snorunt) Their numbers seem to have rapidly increased in Alola. Custom has it that houses where Snorunt live will be prosperous for generations to come. 
(Exeggutor) Alola is the best environment for this Pokémon. Local people take pride in its appearance, saying this is how Exeggutor ought to look. 
(Tauros) Although it’s known to be a fierce Pokémon, Tauros in the Alola region are said to possess a measure of calmness. 
(Paras) Whether it’s due to a lack of moisture or a lack of nutrients, in Alola the mushrooms on Paras don’t grow up quite right. 
(Seel) It has always been supposed that Seel live only in cold seas. Their having shown up in Alola is a mystery. 
(Jynx) It sways its hips to a rhythm all its own. The precise movements of Jynx living in Alola are truly wonderful. 
(Pinsir) It gets into territorial disputes with Vikavolt. For some reason, it apparently gets along well with Heracross in Alola. 
(Ledyba) This Pokémon is very sensitive to cold. In the warmth of Alola, it appears quite lively. 
(Corsola) The pink of Corsola that live in Alola is deep and vibrant, thanks to seas filled with nutrition. 
(Tropius) The bunches of fruit growing around the necks of Tropius in Alola are especially sweet compared to those in other regions. 
(Gorebyss) The color of its body changes with the water temperature. The coloration of Gorebyss in Alola is almost blindingly vivid. 
(Stoutland) It pays no mind to the cold, thanks to its long warm coat. Stoutland in Alola look a little uncomfortable. 
(Sandile) Alola, where it’s warm all year round, is a comfortable environment for this Pokémon. Sometimes you’ll even see it outside of deserts. 
(Vanillish) It sprays its enemies with grains of ice to freeze them. Most Vanillish in Alola are smaller than average.

:I would say it could offer info to individual pages but for regional forms it has no place, considering it's more focused on the physical, typing, abilities, etc. changes to a Pokémon rather than small adaptations noted only in the Dex. --[[User:Brawlersinthezone|Brawlersinthezone]] ([[User talk:Brawlersinthezone|talk]]) 04:37, 14 June 2020 (UTC)

== Galarian Slowbro, Articuno, Zapdos, and Moltres ==

Please add Galarian Slowbro, Zapdos, and Moltres to this list.{{unsigned|GlowstoneLove}}
:They've been added. --[[User:Spriteit|Spriteit]] ([[User talk:Spriteit|talk]]) 00:34, 3 June 2020 (UTC)

== Galarian Slowking ==

Should a space for {{rf|Galarian}} {{p|Slowking}} be added, or should we wait since it hasn't been officially revealed yet? --[[User:Ratboy Jr.|Ratboy Jr.]] ([[User talk:Ratboy Jr.|talk]]) 18:26, 4 June 2020 (UTC)
: Let's wait till we actually have some information on it first. --[[User:Spriteit|Spriteit]] ([[User talk:Spriteit|talk]]) 05:39, 6 June 2020 (UTC)

== Request to move the TCG section to its own page ==
As of currently, the TCG template is becoming massive and should probably warrant its own page considering how many cards have been added. If there were only a few I would understand, but I believe now that it takes way too much space. --[[User:Brawlersinthezone|Brawlersinthezone]] ([[User talk:Brawlersinthezone|talk]]) 04:37, 14 June 2020 (UTC)
:It's still well below the point where we'd usually considering moving it over to its new page. I think we can push it a little while yet. --[[User:Spriteit|Spriteit]] ([[User talk:Spriteit|talk]]) 08:30, 14 June 2020 (UTC)

== Height/Weight ==

Do the tables really need these details? Even moves are not supposed to be there and these are much more important differences between forms.--'''[[User:Team Rocket Grunt|Rocket Grunt]] ([[User talk:Team Rocket Grunt|Report To Me]])''' 16:26, 17 June 2020 (UTC)

:Looking at the heights/weights, it seems useful to keep them, given that some Pokémon have drastic changes in those stats between forms. [[User:Butterfreeism|'''–Butterfreeism''']] ([[User talk:Butterfreeism|talk]]) 18:23, 4 September 2020 (UTC)
::Additionally, there are '''too many''' move differences to consider adding. It'll make the template/page look '''overcrowded'''. Heights/weight are at least practical and reasonable as to not make the page look crowded.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 04:55, 5 September 2020 (UTC)

== Galarian Weezing signature ability/move ==

According to the Trivia section, only Galarian Slowbro and Stunfisk have both a signature move and ability. However, Galarian Weezing has a signature move (Strange Steam) and signature ability (Neutralizing Gas). Should we change this, or does Neutralizing Gas not count because Kantonian Weezing gets it as well? {{unsigned|Sunfishy}}
:You just answered your own question.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 04:55, 5 September 2020 (UTC)

== Regional evolutions in the TCG ==

I have a question on whether we should list the regional evolutions (such as {{TCG|Obstagoon}}, etc.) in the "In the TCG" section. If the TCG section is there solely for what the games count as regional forms, then it makes sense to avoid listing them, however if we are considering regional forms as a mechanic (similar to {{TCG|Ultra Beast}}s), then it would make sense to include them, as they would be affected by all cards that specify a Pokémon with "Galarian" in the name (similar to how {{TCG|Necrozma}}'s forms are listed on the Ultra Beasts TCG page despite not being classified as [[Ultra Beasts]] in-game). I feel like this should be resolved before we get too much further into the generation. [[User:Mr. Daikon|Mr. Daikon]] ([[User talk:Mr. Daikon|talk]]) 19:01, 13 September 2020 (UTC)

==splitting==
I think regional varients should be split into their own pages. makes things a lot more clear and removes a lot of clutter and i thikn its better to only find info for the form you have. like if you have an alolan vulpix, you get only info for alolan vulpix.[[User:Roserade57|Roserade57]] ([[User talk:Roserade57|talk]]) 16:56, 21 March 2021 (UTC)

== Breeding ==

:''However, if one of the parents of the same evolutionary family held an Everstone when the Egg was produced, the offspring will be the same form as that parent.''

What happens when we breed Kantonian and Alolan Meowth, both with Everstone, in Galar?--'''[[User:Team Rocket Grunt|Rocket]] [[User talk:Team Rocket Grunt|Grunt]]''' 14:59, 17 September 2021 (UTC)
:Does it matter that we're not in a region that is any parent's form? (Would the result even be different if we were in Alola rather than Galar; or we're in Galar and it's Galarian Meowth rather than Alolan?) [[User:Nescientist|Nescientist]] ([[User talk:Nescientist|talk]]) 19:17, 20 September 2021 (UTC)
::It shouldn't really matter, we just need to know what will happen if both parents hold Everstone, but in Galar it would be more certain.--'''[[User:Team Rocket Grunt|Rocket]] [[User talk:Team Rocket Grunt|Grunt]]''' 13:18, 23 September 2021 (UTC)

== References for added forms ==

I'm biased towards including references for information when it's easily available. I used the official version notes as references for the Galarian forms added in the Expansion Pass, but it got deleted. What do you all think about including references for these newly added forms? [[User:Butterfreeism|'''–Butterfreeism''']] ([[User talk:Butterfreeism|talk]]) 19:46, 19 October 2021 (UTC)
:The references that you added didn't really add anything to the page. The versions in which the newer forms exist is already marked. --[[User:Celadonkey|celadonk]] ([[User talk:Celadonkey|talk]]) 22:17, 19 October 2021 (UTC)
::Ah, I see. Thanks for clarifying! [[User:Butterfreeism|'''–Butterfreeism''']] ([[User talk:Butterfreeism|talk]]) 17:14, 20 October 2021 (UTC)

== Kleavor ==

Hi guys, I'm new to Bulbapedia. I just tried to add a Hisusian Scyther to the list of Husui regional forms, then realised that it was evolution of Scyther. I deleted all I had changed, but the table went really long. Can someone please fix this and I'm really sorry. {{unsigned|LucarioLover197}}

== Regarding Hisuian Form Abilities ==

Could someone care to explain where we're getting this information about the Abilities of Hisuian Forms? Because... Legends: Arceus doesn't ''have'' Abilities. At least not on the summary screens. Regigigas still can't get it going at the start, but Darkrai's not giving anyone Bad Dreams, so I have no idea where this information is coming from. [[User:Giratina's Embodiment|Giratina's Embodiment]] - [[User talk:Giratina's Embodiment|Please don't hurt us...]] 19:25, 3 February 2022 (UTC)
:Datamine. Abilities are mentioned in the PLA code.--'''[[User:Team Rocket Grunt|Rocket]] [[User talk:Team Rocket Grunt|Grunt]]''' 19:45, 3 February 2022 (UTC)

I... feel like that merits mention on the page. I'm gonna add a reference; here's hoping I don't frick the table up too much. [[User:Giratina's Embodiment|Giratina's Embodiment]] - [[User talk:Giratina's Embodiment|Please don't hurt us...]] 20:35, 3 February 2022 (UTC)

== All Hisuian forms have signature moves except Arcanine ==

All fully evolved Hisuian Form Pokémon and/or their regional evolved forms have a signature move except Arcanine.
It gets the new move Raging Fury, but so does Infernape.
Does this fun fact warrant a bullet point in the trivia section? {{unsigned|Danward}}
:It ''might'' warrant a point on Arcanine's page, but probably not here. --[[User:Celadonkey|celadonk]] ([[User talk:Celadonkey|talk]]) 14:52, 4 February 2022 (UTC)
::Wait...are you forgetting about Basculegion and Ursaluna? They also share new moves with Empoleon and Torterra, respectively. I really like this detail. {{Unsigned|IMDCombee}}
:::It just means they're not signature moves. Not really anything worth noting, I don't think. --[[User:Celadonkey|celadonk]] ([[User talk:Celadonkey|talk]]) 19:04, 20 May 2022 (UTC)

== White-Striped Basculin ==

Both the mobile and Switch versions of Pokemon HOME count White-Striped Basculin as a Hisuian Form in the Pokedex search filters. Seems pretty unambiguous to consider it a proper regional form at this point. --[[User:Mr. Bonding|Mr. Bonding]] ([[User talk:Mr. Bonding|talk]]) 23:37, 18 May 2022 (UTC)

: Agreed, this is now confirmed by HOME version 2.0.0. I have gone ahead and updated the page. —[[User:Legoless|Legoless]] ([[User talk:Legoless|talk]]) 13:14, 19 May 2022 (UTC)

Bulbapedia:Talk page policy

2022-04-16T12:49:14Z

Celadonkey: /* Signing comments */

{{Nutshell|Talk pages are not forums for free discussion. They are to be used to discuss improvements to articles, templates and policies, or for direct communication with another user.}}

The '''Bulbapedia talk page policy''' explains how to use talk pages appropriately on Bulbapedia. You should try and follow these guidelines when you're editing a talk page or user talk page.

==What is a talk page?==
[[File:Option tabs.png|thumb|right|320px|Click the discussion tab to go to the talk page.]]
A talk page is a built-in part of the {{wp|MediaWiki}} software that Bulbapedia is run on. Every {{bp|namespace}} has its own talkspace; every article has a talk page attached to it. Every user has their own personal user talk page where you can leave them a message.

To get to an article's talk page, click the "discussion" tab at the top of the page. The talk page for this policy page can be found at [[{{NAMESPACE}} talk:{{PAGENAME}}]].

==How should a talk page be used?==
Generally, talk pages are for '''discussing how to improve an article'''. This means that you can and should:
* Bring up errors
* Suggest new trivia
* Question reliability of information
* Ask another user on their user talk page for help, or help them

===Editing in sections===
Talk pages have their discussion topics ordered chronologically into sections. When you start a new topic, create it manually at the bottom of the page or use the '''(+)''' button to do this automatically. This helps keep everything in order. Please title your section appropriately so everyone can see at a glance what you are talking about.

When you reply to a section started by someone else, [[Bulbapedia:Wikicode#Text formatting|indent your comments]] to distinguish them from the previous comments. New comments in a section must always go at the bottom of the section, regardless of where the comment being replied to is in the discussion; this helps keep comments in order and prevents confusion as to what had been discussed prior to specific comments.

===Signing comments===
All comments left on talk pages must have a signature left afterwards. Unlike on most forums and message boards, this is not done automatically by the software. To leave a signature, either type <nowiki>~~~~</nowiki> or click [[File:Signature button.png]] (above the editing pane) when you have finished your contribution to the discussion.

Signing comments is required so that readers can identify who is saying what, and when they are saying it. If a recent comment has been left unsigned, then any editor may amend it with the {{template|unsigned}} template. If you forget to sign when you save the page, then you must add the unsigned template because otherwise the time stamps in the discussion will be wrong.

===Talk page etiquette===
* Please do not edit another user's discussion—even if it's full of spelling errors.
* Removing comments is also prohibited, unless it is spam, content that would be better suited to the Bulbagarden forums, or a reply to a finished conversation older than six months.
* Please check the dates of a discussion before you reply to it. Unless an old conversation is still relevant and there is a good reason to revitalize discussion, comments on sections older than six months old should not be made. If the problems cited in the previous comments have already been cleared up, any new comments may be removed.
* Don't leave overly long and confusing messages. No one likes to read stuff like that. Write concisely to make sure your points can be understood.
* Keep the conversation in one place. It's difficult to read a conversation when every other comment is on a different page and it means the page history can be used to check the history of the discussion. This also allows third (or fourth) parties to join in if relevant.
* Always abide by the {{bp|code of conduct}}.

When a talk page gets very long, it will be archived by a {{bp|staff member}} or, [[#My user talk page|in the case of a user talk page]], the user.

==How should a talk page not be used?==
Talk pages aren't {{wp|water cooler}}s or places for general discussion. The [http://forums.bulbagarden.net/index.php Bulbagarden Forums] should be used for all general discussion of Pokémon or community-related topics. For instance, on Bulbapedia talk pages, it is not acceptable to:
* Post predictions on a future game or upcoming anime episode
* Comment on the subject of the article (e.g. "I like Ash because he has a hat")
* Leave abusive messages to a user on their user talk page
* Use your own user talk page as a substitute for a user page (see [[Bulbapedia:Userspace policy#Circumventing the userspace policy]])
* Leave meaningless posts such as "oh, that guy just pwnd you."
* {{wp|Spam (electronic)|Spam}} the same or similar messages across multiple pages
* Have lengthy discussions not related to Bulbapedia. For this, use the [[Bulbagarden Forums]]' Private Message or Visitor Message functions.

If you post a comment on a talk page that is unacceptable for any of the above reasons, it may be removed by any other user. If you remove an unacceptable comment from a talk page, please state what is wrong with it in your edit summary.

If a user repeatedly leaves inappropriate messages on a talk page then they should be warned by a {{bp|staff member}} and may face a short block.

==My user talk page==
[[File:Movepage.png|thumb|right|400px|Use the "page move" function to archive your talk page to a suitable location.]]
[[Special:Mytalk|This page is your user talk page]]. Even so, you still need to abide by the rules of the talk page policy on this page.

Don't remove comments, including your initial welcome message. This is for historical purposes and so Bulbapedia staff don't give repeated warnings about the same thing. When your page gets long enough, you may archive it by moving it to a new location.

===Archiving user talk pages===
Instead of deleting any and all information on talk pages, you should archive your talk page by moving it to a new location. By simply copying and pasting the text, or by moving small sections at a time, it breaks the time line of the edit history.

An ideal location to move your talk page to is '''User:Username/Archive Number'''. So, if [[User:Example]] wanted to make his first archive, he would move his talk page to "User talk:Example/Archive 1". His second archive would be at "User talk:Example/Archive 2", and so on. Other variations on this somewhat bland naming style are allowed, for example: "User talk:Example/First archive".

When you have finished creating your archive, remember to remove the redirect that will now be found on your talk page so that new discussions can take place. For ease of access, be sure to link to all of your archived talk pages on your new talk page.

==Other user's talk pages==
Like you, every user that registers has his or her own talk page, and like any other talk page, users still must abide by the rules of the talk page policy. However, there are a few specific rules users will need to follow when on another users talk page.

* Users are allowed to have minor specific rules that fit their benefits, as long as they comply with the talk page policy.
* Give the owner of the talk page thirty minutes, to an hour to respond depending on their time zone. It is their talk page, there's no reason to have someone else jump in and respond for them. It's on ''their'' talk page because someone wanted ''their'' input.
* Staff are allowed to respond on other staff members' talk pages if that staff member is not available.
**Likewise, if the staff members share power over a specific area, they are always allowed to respond to talk page messages on each other's talk page.
* If a discussion on a user's talk page starts to break the talk page policy, or the code of conduct, a staff member is allowed to come onto the page and break up the arguing.

Celadonkey: /* Redirect */

==Changing the title to trio after the release of Ultra Sun and Moon?==
So is this article going to change the title to "Cosmic trio" after revealing that [[Necrozma (Pokémon)|Necrozma]] to be third legendary pokémon like all the article that first come with duo before trio?

[[User:Singaporean|Singaporean]] ([[User talk:Singaporean|talk]]) 11:17, 8 September 2017 (UTC)
:If it is confirmed that Necrozma is indeed part of the trio, then it'll get moved. Right now, there's only hints, there are no '''full''' confirmation that Necrozma is part of the trio. --[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 11:22, 8 September 2017 (UTC)
::Thanks for the reply. Unlike, others just deleted for no reason and only stating at the editing part. [[User:Singaporean|Singaporean]] ([[User talk:Singaporean|talk]]) 11:30, 8 September 2017 (UTC)
:::It is really not surprising now, this article will soon move it to Trio since recent update from Coro Coro that Necrozma is the mascot of Ultra Sun and Moon as it both form of "Wings of Dawn" and "Mane of Dusk" similar to what [[Kyurem]]. But I believe it is not going to be had the same ability like DNA splice or fusion transforming both form respectively by unknowingly from some kind of move. We won't see any of it until the game release. [[User:Singaporean|Singaporean]] ([[User talk:Singaporean|talk]]) 12:49, 12 September 2017 (UTC)
::::Also does this article going to lock as well after the recent update, huh? My apologize for another unusual reply, Admin? Because, I believe many people will come here to edit right away with all the speculation for nothing after hearing that. [[User:Singaporean|Singaporean]] ([[User talk:Singaporean|talk]]) 12:52, 12 September 2017 (UTC)
:::::In the USUM guide, there's an interview saying this...

:::::"I dug into the original setting in my own mind, reconstructed it, and gave Necrozma, Solgaleo, and Lunala this deep relationship. Necrozma can control light, but it cannot create light. So it has a strong desire to steal the light from Solgaleo and Lunala, which both possess their own light" -Iwao

:::::Considering this "deep relationship", personally, it seems obvious that Necrozma shares a relationship with Solgaleo and Lunala worthy of trio status.

:::::With this being said, I don't think cosmic trio is an accurate name anymore. I'm not sure what the fan name is either. If we decide on something non-fan, I suggest "Light Trio". --[[User:Celadonkey|Celadonkey]] 16:17, 4 January 2018 (UTC)

::::::Agreed, "Light trio" does fit with all of their connection and talk about light.[[User:Animaltamer7|Animaltamer7]]10:02, 5 January 2018 (UTC)

:::::::Its rather fitting the Light, it symbolizes their roles in Alola and connection the the Z-Move, I say we make it official and add Necrozma to the page agreed?--[[User:Jacob9594|Jacob Kogan]] ([[User talk:Jacob9594|talk]]) 03:18, 7 January 2018 (UTC)
::::::::Just in case: please be aware that this sort of decision '''must''' be approved by staff. [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 03:23, 7 January 2018 (UTC)

{{indent}}Can we revive this discussion? To me, it’s clear that Necrozma is more than related enough to be considered a cosmic trio. Hell, we even have official confirmation as a direct quote from Kazumasa Iwao, the director of USUM, used in the official guidebook. Besides that, Necrozma can fuse with Lunala and Solgaleo, and all three of them are related on a lore level as well. --[[User:Celadonkey|Celadonkey]] 16:36, 6 June 2018 (UTC)
:Just the Tao Trio for example correct?--[[User:Jacob9594|Jacob Kogan]] ([[User talk:Jacob9594|talk]]) 02:41, 7 June 2018 (UTC)
::Yes, exactly like the Tao Trio, except this time, with a direct quote explicitly noting the connection. --[[User:Celadonkey|Celadonkey]] 03:26, 7 June 2018 (UTC)

== Image ==

Assuming that Necrozma is part of a trio w/ Solgaleo and Lunala, we should use this image if and when it's confirmed: [[File:Ultra Sun Ultra Moon Necrozma Solgaleo Lunala artwork.png|100px]]

It's a nice looking picture that portrays all three well, and I think it's much better than the TCG playmat we have now.

Just for future reference. --[[User:Celadonkey|Celadonkey]] 01:39, 17 October 2017 (UTC)

== Possible conformation on Necrozma being a part of the Cosmic Duo/Cosmic Trio==

Hi I may have some official facts on Necrozma being apart of Solgaleo and Lunala as trio. Here from Iwano himself and Official USUM National Pokedex Guide Book.

"What is Necrozma's Core?
Iwano: I dug deep into the original setting in my own mind, reconstructed it, and gave Necrozma, Solgaleo, and Lunala, this deep relationship. Necrozma can control light but it cannot create light. So its has a strong desire to steal the light Solgaleo and Lunala, which both possess their own light. These three are always struggling agnaist one another in Ultra Space. Necrozma might steal the night of the others and flee, then solgaleo and Lunala might give chase and take the light back-and on and on it would go. They always lived that, but the balance of this relationship among them but was thrown off due to the interference of the Ultra Reacon Squad. In Necorzma's World and the people living in Alola, like the protagonist. As a result- even though really only ever needed small amount of energy-Necorzma comes to gain a huge amount of engird beyond what Necrozma anticipated, when it captures Solgaleo or Lunala. And because of the gaining of this excessive energy, Necorzma goes berserk. This is what we called "Ultra Necrozma". We wanted to depict the drama of the hero encountering this Ultra Necrozma at the climax of this story. It was the actions go the people that made Necorzma run amok, but in the end, it will be caught by the player and join them as a ally. Thanks to that Necorzma will be able to draw forth its won true power again and become able to accompany the player on their island challenge, without needing to target the lives of Solgaleo or Lunala. We wanted to illustrate how the relationship between Necorzma, Solgaleo, and Lunala, whivh had been destroyed by the past, is forged again by the hero's actions and the balance of the world is restored." {{unsigned|Jacob9594}}

== Pokémon SM Episode 74 Revel ==

So I just finished watching the episode and saw there was a Legend surrounding Ultra Necrozma, Solgaleo, and Lunala in the episode. Does this finally confirmed their status as a Legendary trio, just like how Zyagrde was finally confirmed to be a third member of the Arua thanks to XYZ special?--[[User:Jacob9594|Jacob Kogan]] ([[User talk:Jacob9594|talk]]) 14:33, 10 May 2018 (UTC)
:I think they were already confirmed explicitly, from the interviews in the USUM guide. We just need to wait for staff confirmation. ForceFire has expressed their opinion but staff as a whole needs to make a decision. --[[User:Celadonkey|Celadonkey]] 14:37, 10 May 2018 (UTC)
::Fair point, we got plenty for that to make their finally decision. Thank you for the friendly reminder.--[[User:Jacob9594|Jacob Kogan]] ([[User talk:Jacob9594|talk]]) 15:00, 10 May 2018 (UTC)

== Cosmic trio, obviously ==

Necrozma:
Uses Solgaleo/Lunala's battle theme in SM

Is the box mascot of USM

Is next on the Pokédex after Solgaleo and Lunala (and the original Ultra Beasts)

Can fuse with Solgaleo and Lunala

Stated in Iwano's interview as in a "relationship" with Solgaleo and Lunala

Is a "Special Pokémon" (ie banned from battle facilities), like Solgaleo and Lunala

Is featured in an artwork with Solgaleo and Lunala

If that's not a trio, then I don't know what is.
--[[User:CosmicTreeOh|CosmicTreeOh]] ([[User talk:CosmicTreeOh|talk]]) 19:28, 30 June 2018 (UTC)
:I wholeheartedly agree. It is worth mentioning that a few of those points aren't really good enough for BP standards, but the "Stated in Iwao's interview as in a 'relationship' with Solgaleo and Lunala" is better confirmation than a lot of things we have. In fact, staff members have considered it a trio as well... It's completely confirmed and we have been sitting on it for quite a while now, I think it's more than time to add it to the page. (We would need staff confirmation first, though.) --[[User:Celadonkey|Celadonkey]] 20:44, 30 June 2018 (UTC)

::It is because both of those symbolizes a certain characterizes on the Legendaries like the Aura and Creation Trio for example?

:::I support "Light Trio". Cosmic Trio, although matches the name we have now, doesn't really suit Necrozma, who doesn't clearly seem to be based off of any cosmic body. Light is the overarching theme of the trio. --[[User:Celadonkey|Celadonkey]] 04:26, 1 July 2018 (UTC)
::::Plus Light Trio Makes a lot more sense given the fact they brought Light to Alola and can use and create light.--[[User:Jacob9594|Jacob Kogan]] ([[User talk:Jacob9594|talk]]) 05:34, 1 July 2018 (UTC)

== Updating Template ==

So now that the trio thing is official can e create a a Base Stats Template Page for Light Trio by including Necrozma and its three others forms to the to the Duo template? I don't how to make a six version as it does not exist on the site and I don't know to create it,, can someone help when they have the chance if possible?--[[User:Jacob9594|Jacob Kogan]] ([[User talk:Jacob9594|talk]]) 16:40, 2 July 2018 (UTC)

== Alola Creation Myth? ==

The anime has a whole legend about the light trio, are we not gonna add that legend? {{unsigned|Galladevoir3030}}
:I tried that already once, that got deleted. Mostly because some of the Legend was also as in Game. You could add but you to give them a good reason for it to stay.--[[User:Jacob9594|Jacob9594 ]] ([[User talk:Jacob9594|talk]]) 13:25, 21 April 2020 (UTC)
::I don't follow the anime so I'm not really in the know about that, but if it's sufficiently different from the games' lore, I'd say it's worth an add.

::: Well the Lore in anime is similar but slightly different notable how Necrozma loses its ture form the first time and how Solgaleo and Lunala were able to restore back to its true form by sharing their Light to Necrozma and with the help of the people of Alola. This lore and facts are reveled through episode [[SM074]] and [[SM087]] both reveled facts on Necrozma through Lore, that existed without the ancestors of [[Ultra Recon Squad]] as they do not appear in the anime at any point.--[[User:Jacob9594|Jacob9594 ]] ([[User talk:Jacob9594|talk]]) 14:30, 21 April 2020 (UTC)

Celebi Egg glitch

2022-04-05T01:10:44Z

Celadonkey: /* Other effects */

The '''Celebi Egg glitch''' is a glitch that allows the user to obtain any Pokémon besides {{p|Ledyba}} in {{3v2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}. It is notable for allowing players to obtain {{p|Celebi}}, which is an [[Event Pokémon]] and therefore is not intended to be possible in normal gameplay.

==Discovery==
This glitch was first documented at [[Glitch City Laboratories]] by user Paco81. It was initially known only as the “Celebi glitch” or “Celebi trick” due to not involving an {{pkmn|Egg}}. However, the Celebi obtained through that glitch would have a nickname and [[Original Trainer]] composed of glitch characters and would be stuck at [[level]] 100. A variation that allows the Celebi to be hatched from an Egg and therefore largely behave normally in terms of game mechanics was discovered shortly thereafter.

==Performance==
===Requirements===
* '''An Egg''' - The {{player}} must get an {{pkmn|Egg}} that will know {{m|Beat Up}} as its third move upon hatching. This can be done by training a male and a female {{p|Sneasel}} up to [[level]] 57. Both Sneasel need to have the same four moves in the same order, with Beat Up at position three. Because both parents have the same moveset, the offspring will share this moveset.

* '''A bad clone''' - The player must get a ''bad clone'', a clone with a name made of only question marks (or, in some cases, blank), its level will be 0 (The glitch will not work if the clone is at any other level, including a more common level 255 clone) and its gender will be different from the prototype's. If that Pokémon doesn't fulfill all those requirements, then it cannot be used for the glitch. This can be done by [[Cloning glitches|Pokémon cloning]]. The Box used for cloning must not be filled at any time as this will prevent bad clones from being created. Getting a bad clone is a case of luck and sometimes occurs during the act of cloning. The chance of getting a bad clone is at maximum if the Box has 15 to 18 Pokémon. Another way to increase the player's chances is by turning the game off after they select YES, before any of the “SAVING... DON'T TURN OFF THE POWER.” text appears.

* '''Any five Pokémon''' - The player must get any five Pokémon (preferably weak, common or otherwise useless Pokémon). The easiest way to get them is to clone a Pokémon until there is a bad clone. They will get five unimportant Pokémon that may be released.

===Procedure===
* '''Step 1''' - The player must first deposit the Egg into a Box. The five other Pokémon and the bad clone have to be in the party.

* '''Step 2''' - The player must then go to the {{pkmn|Day Care}} and ask the man to raise the bad clone. They should then take it back from him, and it will be a [[Five question marks|?????]].

* '''Step 3''' - Next, the player must put [[Five question marks|?????]] at the top of their party and go to the PC.

* '''Step 4''' - Using the "Move Pokémon without mail" option, the player must move any Pokémon (preferably a weak or common Pokémon) from a PC Box to the top of their party. Its name should become the name of its [[original Trainer]]. The player will now have 7 Pokémon in their party.

* '''Step 5''' - Next, the player must go back to the Day-Care Man and ask him to raise the [[Five question marks|?????]]. They should return to the PC.

* '''Step 6''' - Back at the PC, the player must deposit the first and second party Pokémon.

* '''Step 7''' - Using the "Move Pokémon without mail" option, the player must move the Egg from its PC Box to the top of their party.

* '''Step 8''' - Next, the player needs to deposit the next four party Pokémon, but not the Egg.

* '''Step 9''' - Subsequently, the player should withdraw any Pokémon that they didn't use for the glitch.

* '''Step 10''' - Having completed the set up, the player should walk or bike around until the Egg hatches into a {{p|Celebi}}. However, the Celebi is still unusable.

* '''Step 11'''- The Celebi will hatch at level 0. Due to how the game handles Pokémon that level up in battle, the player must allow the Day-Care Couple to raise the Celebi to at least level 2. After this, it works like any normal Celebi.

{{YouTubeVid|ukqtK0l6bu0|channel/UCB9TJe0f5_fKHeJq-i_jI6w|name=Parfehchan|psychic|grass}}

==Explanation==
The reason that the acquired Pokémon is Celebi is due to the move {{m|Beat Up}}. In [[Generation II]], both Celebi and Beat Up share the same [[index number]]: 251. This is not random and should work with any other move-Pokémon combination. {{m|Psychic}}, whose index number is 94, should result in a {{p|Gengar}} hatching, while {{m|Splash}}, despite being considered the worst move, would ironically bring a {{p|Mewtwo}}, as both share index number 150. This glitch, therefore, should not cause any glitch Pokémon to appear, as there were exactly 251 moves in Generation II, though {{p|Ledyba}} would not be obtainable in this way without using a second potential glitch, as {{m|Struggle}} is unobtainable normally as a move.

==?????==
If the Pokémon used for breeding has no third attack, the Pokémon that will come out from the Egg (after the glitch) will be a “bad clone” of the [[glitch Pokémon]] #000 [[Five question marks|?????]]. This Pokémon, like other "bad clones" cannot be seen by the [[Pokémon Storage System|PC]], and hence cannot be deposited in the player's PC or released. There are only 3 known ways to release a "bad clone". One way is to trade it to a [[Generation I]] game. Upon arrival, it will become a Generation I original or glitch Pokémon, which may be released normally. The other is to use the PC in the lab on {{pkmn|Stadium 2}} where the “bad clones” will show up as {{p|Ditto}} or, sometimes, another Pokémon, allowing the player to release it. Recently, a third way has been discovered that doesn't require trading or Stadium 2. The player has to take both the bad clone(s) of [[Five question marks|????? (255)]] and at least one normal, unglitched Pokémon to the [[Bug Catching Contest]] on Tuesday, Thursday or Saturday. The unglitched Pokémon should be in first position in the player's party. When entering the contest, the player will be asked to use the first Pokémon in their party and leave the others (i.e. the bad clone(s)) with the contest helper. After the contest has ended the bad clone(s) will be gone, together with Pokémon behind it, even though the contest helper still mentions giving the player their remaining Pokémon back.

If a wild {{p|Ditto}} transforms into the hatched [[Five question marks|?????]], the wild Ditto is no longer catchable by any kind of [[Poké Ball]], unless it is {{status|sleep|asleep}} or {{status|freeze|frozen}}. Even a Master Ball will fail to capture it. If a Ditto is bred with the “bad clone” of ?????, the offspring will be another “bad clone”, knowing only {{m|Transform}}.

The “bad clone” of ????? may evolve to a {{p|Nidoran♂}}. Possible levels for evolution are 37 and 62.

At Step 5 of the glitch the player asks a Day-Care person to raise the Bad Clone of ????? (000). That clone will not be taken back until the glitch is finished. After the glitch is finished, that clone will disappear from the Day Care, but on rare occasions, it is possible for that Pokémon to not disappear and remain at the Day Care. In that case the Bad Clone of ????? (000) will be transformed into a Bad Clone of ????? (255). That Bad Clone of ????? (255), similarly to the Bad Clone of ????? (000), cannot be released by the PC, but can still be traded to a Generation I game and released there. It mostly works the same way as the Bad Clone of ????? (000), but it has some differences with it, as it cannot evolve into a {{p|Nidoran♂}}, and if a wild {{p|Ditto}} transforms into the hatched [[Five question marks|????? (255)]], the wild Ditto can be caught normally. It also learns {{m|Ice Punch}} at LV17 and {{m|Egg Bomb}} at LV44, and can learn different TMs and HMs from the Bad Clone of ????? (000). For example the Bad Clone of ????? (000) can learn {{m|DynamicPunch}} (TM01) which the Bad Clone of ????? (255) cannot.

Since ????? (000) cannot be seen by the [[Pokémon Storage System|PC]], it cannot be [[Cloning glitch|cloned]]; an Egg that will hatch into it, however, is visible and therefore can be cloned.

==Hatched Pokémon's held item==
The hatched Pokémon will hold an item depending on the fourth attack of the Pokémon used for the breeding. Both the item and the fourth attack share the same [[index number]]. For example, if the two Pokémon used for the breeding have the move {{m|Reflect}} as their fourth move, the hatched Pokémon will hold a [[GS Ball]] (or [[Teru-sama]] in {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}). This is because both the [[GS Ball]] and {{m|Reflect}} have the same [[index number]]: 115. If the Pokémon used for the breeding have the move {{m|Whirlpool}} as their fourth attack or {{m|Beat Up}}, the hatched Pokémon will hold the glitch items HM08 or HM09 respectively. Neither of these [[HM]]s can be obtained in normal gameplay: they are filler items, and have no corresponding moves. If the Pokémon used for the breeding have no fourth attack, the hatched Pokémon will hold nothing. This is also a way to get infinite [[Master Ball]]s, which the {{player}} can do simply by making the fourth move Pound.

Obtaining a Teru-Sama can be performed with any of these moves: Pay Day, Mega Kick, Growl, Disable, Hydro Pump, Strength{{sup/2|GS}}, Fissure, Teleport, Reflect{{sup/2|GS}}, Focus Energy{{sup/2|GS}}, Self-Destruct, Swift{{sup/2|GS}}, Soft-Boiled, High Jump Kick, Glare, Leech Life, Lovely Kiss, Bubble, Spore, Flash, Psywave, Explosion, Fury Swipes, Bonemerang, Super Fang, Nightmare, Conversion 2, Reversal and Octazooka.

==Other effects==
Some Pokémon that are deposited in step 6 and step 8 may have their names, gender, level, or attacks changed. Some of them may become “bad clones” and some may remain normal Pokémon. Some of them may also have [[Pokérus]].

When done incorrectly, the Celebi Egg glitch may also result in many code reading errors and Pokémon/character data becoming scrambled. Players may end up with numerous bad clones. Going to the <sc>Pokémon</sc> screen and looking at the move option will bring up all Pokémon in the party, as usual. However, selecting a Pokémon and going to the <sc>Move</sc> option will reveal that a ????? is hiding at least 50-80 glitch Pokémon. All of these glitch Pokémon represent the game's code and cause multiple bugs. Therefore, by switching their moves, the game's data, such as music and Pokédex entries, can be altered. The names of these Pokémon vary from ? to random characters and their levels range from 0 to 255. The player's name will also change to a random glitch name. Similarly, the player's ID number will change. The player's original name might be given to Pokémon with many ? in its name, or the names of old player files and Pokémon, and is usually tossed around with junk data (example: ???????GOLD?).

The moves of the glitch Pokémon take data from other parts of the game code. As a result, they usually turn into gibberish (example: TYPE/ A9_9[9990979599999999DBB999? ×4 or Waterfall, Waterfall Waterfall, Waterfall or Pay Day, Horn Attack, SonicBoom, Mud-Slap) or just {{m|-}}, and the move's PP will become more than possible or corrupt (ex.: 56/15, 1/35, 86/1). By switching moves around, it is possible to change any data in the game. Since the hidden list of Pokémon is occupying so much space, the game won't be able to load sprite data and the player won't be able to move. While changing moves around, it is easy to access the [[glitch dimension]], or even delete all the player's {{tt|Pokémon|however, this causes the game to crash}}.

This effect of the Celebi Egg glitch is very similar to the [[TMTRAINER effect]] in [[Generation I]].

'''Elemental monkeys''' is a fan term that specifically refers to {{p|Pansage}}, {{p|Pansear}}, {{p|Panpour}}, and their respective evolutions—{{p|Simisage}}, {{p|Simisear}}, and {{p|Simipour}}. The name is derived from the fact that all of the Pokémon are based on monkeys with a different type ({{t|Grass}}, {{t|Fire}}, and {{t|Water}} respectively) and all of them share similar [[move]]s, appearance, and identical [[base stats]]. They also evolve with the corresponding [[Evolution stone]]s.

The elemental monkeys share a resemblance to [[starter Pokémon]], as they are a trio that consists of Grass-, Fire-, and Water-type Pokémon. Similarly to starter Pokémon, they are able to possess the {{a|Overgrow}}, {{a|Blaze}}, and {{a|Torrent}} [[Ability|Abilities]], but as their Hidden Ability instead. Starting in [[Generation VII]], they are capable of learning their respective type of [[Move variations|Pledge moves]], the [[Move Tutor|tutorial moves]] otherwise exclusively learned by starter Pokémon. The elemental monkeys also have the same [[gender ratio]] as the starter Pokémon, being 7 males to 1 female.

In {{game|Black and White|s}}, a Trainer in the [[Dreamyard]] will give the player the monkey with the type disadvantage against the player's [[starter Pokémon]], which will have a type advantage itself against the monkey used by the [[Gym Leader]] of the nearby [[Striaton Gym]].

Parts of their names are identical to each other. Their basic stages have the same prefix ''Pan-'', equivalent with the Japanese suffix ップ (''-ppu''), while their final stages have the prefix ''Simi-'', the same true with the Japanese suffix ッキー (''-kkī'').

This term should not be confused with other Pokémon based on monkeys, such as {{p|Mankey}}, {{p|Aipom}}, {{p|Chimchar}}, or {{p|Grookey}}.

{{Main|Pansage (Pokémon)}}
{{Main|Simisage (Pokémon)}}

Pansage is the first of the elemental monkeys in [[National Pokédex]] order and the {{type|Grass}} of the group. It evolves into Simisage when exposed to the [[Leaf Stone]]. Pansage made its first appearance alongside {{p|Axew}} on toys dating back to July 2010, making it the first of the monkeys ever seen by fans.

Pansage is a green colored monkey with a tan colored face, arms, and upper body. It has a tree-like sprout forming on its head and a pair of leaves on its tail. Simisage is a primate-like Pokémon that is primarily green in coloration. It has a pointed, bush-like crest similar to a Pompadour on its head and broad ears to the sides of it. It has a little fluff on its shoulders and a thorny tail.

Pansage's leaves are known to cure exhaustion, and Simisage attacks with its thorny tail if angered. Pansage is likely based on "Speak no Evil" from the {{wp|three wise monkeys}} motif.

As Grass types, Pansage and Simisage are capable of learning various Grass-type moves such as {{m|Seed Bomb}}, {{m|Leech Seed}}, and even {{m|Grass Knot}}, and are capable of having {{a|Overgrow}} as their Hidden Ability. Starting in {{g|Sun and Moon}}, Pansage and Simisage are able to learn {{m|Grass Pledge}} via [[Move Tutor]].

Pansage can be obtained in {{game|Black and White|s}} as a [[gift Pokémon]] at the [[Dreamyard]] if the {{player}} chose {{p|Tepig}} as their starter. In both Pokémon Black and White and {{2v2|Black|White|2}}, it can be found via Rustling Grass in [[Pinwheel Forest]] or [[Lostlorn Forest]]. In {{g|X and Y}}, Pansage can be found in [[Santalune Forest]]. Sometimes, an [[Oran Berry]] or [[Occa Berry]] can be found on wild Pansage.

If the player picked {{p|Oshawott}} as their starter, then the player will face against [[Cilan]] with a Pansage in the [[Striaton Gym]] in Pokémon Black and White.

==Pansear and Simisear==
{| align="right"

|}
{{Main|Pansear (Pokémon)}}
{{Main|Simisear (Pokémon)}}

Pansear is the second of the elemental monkeys in [[National Pokédex]] order and the {{type|Fire}} of the group. It evolves into Simisear when exposed to the [[Fire Stone]].

Pansear is a red monkey Pokémon with tan coloring on its face and upper body. It has a flame shaped hair on its head and an arrow shaped-feature on its tail. Simisear is a primate-like Pokémon that is primarily red in coloration. It has a swirled, flame-like crest on its head and broad ears to the sides of it. It has fluffs of white hair on its shoulders and a tail resembling a plume of fire.

When angered, Pansear's fire tuft will burn, and Simisear burns opponents by scattering the fire inside its body from its head and tail. Pansear is likely based on "Hear no Evil" from the three wise monkeys motif.

As Fire types, Pansear and Simisear are capable of learning various Fire-type moves such as {{m|Flame Burst}}, {{m|Flamethrower}}, and {{m|Fire Blast}} and are capable of having {{a|Blaze}} as their Hidden Ability. Starting in {{g|Sun and Moon}}, Pansear and Simisear are able to learn {{m|Fire Pledge}} via [[Move Tutor]].

Pansear can be obtained in {{game|Black and White|s}} as a [[gift Pokémon]] at the [[Dreamyard]] if the {{player}} chose {{p|Oshawott}} as their starter. In both Pokémon Black and White and {{2v2|Black|White|2}}, it can be found via Rustling Grass in [[Pinwheel Forest]] or [[Lostlorn Forest]]. In {{g|X and Y}}, Pansear can be found in [[Santalune Forest]]. Sometimes, an [[Oran Berry]] or [[Passho Berry]] can be found on wild Pansear.

If the player picked {{p|Snivy}} as their starter, then the player will face against [[Chili]] with a Pansear in the [[Striaton Gym]] in Pokémon Black and White.

==Panpour and Simipour==

|}
{{Main|Panpour (Pokémon)}}
{{Main|Simipour (Pokémon)}}

Panpour is the last of the elemental monkeys in [[National Pokédex]] order and the {{t|Water}}-type of the group. It evolves into Simipour when exposed to the [[Water Stone]].

Panpour is a blue monkey Pokémon with tan coloring on its face and lower body. Its hair on its head is shaped like a fountain or {{wp|mushroom cloud}} and its tail has a {{wp|Suit (cards)|club}}-like shape at the end. Simipour is a primate-like Pokémon that is primarily blue in coloration. It has crests on its head similar to dreadlocks and broad ears to the sides of it. Simipour also have a cream-colored face, chest, hands, arms, legs, and feet.

Panpour gathers water, stores it into its hair, and then dampens its body using its tail. The water stored in the tuft on its head is full of nutrition; plants watered with it will grow well. Simipour can use the stored water in its tail ether as backup when water supply is low or use it as a powerful weapon strong enough to destroy concrete. Panpour is likely based on "See no Evil" from the three wise monkeys motif.

As Water types, Panpour and Simipour are capable of learning various Water-type moves such as {{m|Scald}} and {{m|Surf}} plus some {{type|Ice}} moves like {{m|Ice Beam}}. They are capable of having {{a|Torrent}} as their Hidden Ability. Starting in {{g|Sun and Moon}}, Panpour and Simipour are able to learn {{m|Water Pledge}} via [[Move Tutor]].

Panpour can be obtained in {{game|Black and White|s}} as a [[gift Pokémon]] at the [[Dreamyard]] if the {{player}} chose {{p|Snivy}} as their starter. In both Pokémon Black and White and {{2v2|Black|White|2}}, it can be found via Rustling Grass in [[Pinwheel Forest]] or [[Lostlorn Forest]]. In {{g|X and Y}}, Panpour can be found in [[Santalune Forest]]. Sometimes, an [[Oran Berry]] or [[Rindo Berry]] can be found on wild Panpour.

If the player picked {{p|Tepig}} as their starter, then the player will face against [[Cress]] with a Panpour in the [[Striaton Gym]] in Pokémon Black and White.

{{main|Cilan's Pansage}}

Cilan's Pansage was the last of the Pokémon of the leader trio faced by Ash at the Gym, with Ash choosing to use {{AP|Oshawott}}. Pansage was a formidable opponent, overwhelming and intimidating Oshawott with powerful {{m|Bullet Seed}} and {{m|Bite}} attacks and with skillful agility that dodged Oshawott's attacks. As a finisher, Pansage used {{m|SolarBeam}} on Oshawott, but Oshawott deflected it with his scalchop and the battle continued. The battle ended when Oshawott won against Pansage after defeating it with {{m|Razor Shell}}.

After the battle, Cilan remarks on Ash's skills and decides to travel with him and {{an|Iris}}. Since then, Cilan often uses Pansage for assisting himself and {{ashfr}}.

===Chili's Pansear===
[[File:Chili Pansear.png|thumb|250px|Chili's Pansear]]
{{main|Chili's Pansear}}

{{p|Pansear}} is Chili's only known Pokémon. It first appeared in ''[[BW005|Triple Leaders, Team Threats!]]'' when it battled against [[Ash's Tepig]]. Pansear managed to put up a good fight against Tepig with its powerful {{m|Dig}} attack, along with {{m|Fire Punch}} that sent Tepig flying. However, Tepig dove into the tunnels after Pansear and bit down on its tail which caused Pansear extreme pain. Tepig then spun Pansear around by its tail and threw it across the field, then followed up with {{m|Ember}} and {{m|Tackle}}d it into the wall, knocking Pansear out.

Pansear reappeared in ''[[BW058|A Call for Brotherly Love!]]'' along with its Trainer where it battled [[Cilan's Pansage]]. Despite having a type advantage, it lost against Pansage.

{{main|Cress's Panpour}}

{{p|Panpour}} is [[Cress]]'s only known Pokémon. It first appeared in ''[[BW005|Triple Leaders, Team Threats!]]'' when it battled against [[Ash's Pikachu]]. It was shown to be an extremely powerful Pokémon, able to defeat Pikachu without suffering any damage despite having the type disadvantage. Panpour's {{m|Double Team}} confused Pikachu, after which Panpour landed a powerful {{m|Scratch}}. Pikachu tried to use {{m|Thunderbolt}}, but Panpour's {{m|Water Gun}} hit Pikachu before he could execute his move. Pikachu then tried a {{m|Volt Tackle}}, but Panpour's {{m|Mud Sport}} stopped Pikachu in his tracks, after which another Water Gun knocked him out.

==In the TCG==
{{TCG|Pansage}}, {{TCG|Pansear}}, and {{TCG|Panpour}} along with their respective evolutions are recurring Pokémon in the {{pkmn|Trading Card Game}}.

==Trivia==
* The stats of all three elemental monkeys are identical, as are the stats of their evolved forms.
** Their cries are also the same; the difference is the effects applied to them. The same is true for their evolved forms.
* The [[Berry|Berries]] that may be held by the elemental monkeys in the wild ([[Occa Berry]], [[Passho Berry]], and [[Rindo Berry]]) correspond to types which are supereffective on the respective Pokémon.

Forces of nature

Celadonkey: This part adds very little, is already listed on the page, and is very difficult to read grammatically

{{incomplete|needs=The manga section needs expansion, ORAS}}
[[File:Forces of Nature Sugimori.png|thumb|350px|The Forces of Nature, each in their Incarnate Formes]]
[[File:Forces of Nature-Therian Sugimori.png|thumb|350px|The Forces of Nature, each in their Therian Formes]]
The '''Forces of Nature''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|大自然の力|だいしぜんのちから}}''' ''forces of nature'') is a collective term to refer to the quartet of {{p|Tornadus}}, {{p|Thundurus}}, {{p|Landorus}}, and {{p|Enamorus}}. They are also known by fans as the '''kami quartet''', '''cloud quartet''', or '''Legendary genies'''.

The [[Reveal Glass]] will switch them between their [[List of Pokémon with form differences#Forces of Nature|Incarnate and Therian Formes]]. In Therian Forme, they are accessible from the [[Pokémon Dream Radar]] and downloadable onto {{2v2|Black|White|2}}.

==Myths==
[[File:Forces of Nature myth.png|thumb|220px|Myth as portrayed in the anime]]
Upon visiting the Abundant Shrine, the player will cross a group of three children arguing just before the shrine. They collectively tell the folktale of how "Great Landorus" allegedly punished two other Legendary Pokémon (Tornadus and Thundurus) for wreaking massive destruction across the land with their ferocious gales and fierce thunderstorms. As such, the thankful inhabitants of the land—saved from the danger posed by the Cyclone and Bolt Strike Pokémon—constructed a shrine in honor of Landorus. While Tornadus and Thundurus always fought each other since the beginning of time, they tend to try and avoid each other in order to avoid the wrath of Landorus.

At some point in history, Landorus and {{p|Enamorus}} would arrive at [[Hisui]] region after traveling the sea to it during winter's end. Together the duo brought life and field growth to the land of Hisui, bringing forth spring. The duo was revered as gods by the locals in gratitude.

In {{2v2|Black|White|2}}, it is revealed that the Forces of Nature were in their Therian Formes in the time period depicted in the myth. A man suggests that he is unsure whether the Therian Formes or Incarnate Formes are the true Formes of the trio.

In [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]], [[Professor Laventon]] deduced that the Therian Formes are the true forms of the Forces of Nature, given that the Therian Formes are seen when they travel the seas while also assuming they are seen as Incarnate Formes when staying in a region.

Tornadus{{sup/5|B}}/Thundurus{{sup/5|W}} will start {{pkmn2|roaming}} around [[Unova]] after the {{player}} listens to the story of an old woman on {{rt|7|Unova}}. If the player possesses both in their party, they can encounter Landorus at the [[Abundant Shrine]] on {{rt|14|Unova}}.

===Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire===
The player can encounter the Forces of Nature while [[soaring in the sky]]. Tornadus{{sup/6|OR}}/Thundurus{{sup/6|AS}} can be encountered in the Stormy Clouds located near [[Fortree City]] if the player has a {{p|Castform}} in their party. Landorus can also be encountered in the Stormy Clouds located near Fortree City as long as both Tornadus and Thundurus are in the player's party.

===Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon===
The player can encounter the Forces of Nature in the [[Ultra Space Wilds]]' Cliff World dimension by traveling through red warp holes in [[Ultra Warp Ride]]. Tornadus is exclusive to Ultra Sun, Thundurus is exclusive to Ultra Moon, and Landorus appears only if both Tornadus and Thundurus are in the player's party.

===Pokémon Sword and Shield===
In [[The Crown Tundra]] [[Pokémon Sword and Shield Expansion Pass|DLC]], the Forces of Nature are among the [[Legendary Pokémon]] that can be encountered in [[Dynamax Adventure]]s in the [[Max Lair]]. Tornadus is exclusive to Sword, while Thundurus is exclusive to Shield; however, participating in a Dynamax Adventure hosted by a player of the opposite version allows both to be obtained. Landorus appears in both versions.

===Pokémon Legends: Arceus===
After the player receives the [[Task#Requests|request]] "Incarnate Forces of Hisui" from [[Cogita]], Tornadus, Thundurus, and Landorus can be found roaming [[Hisui]] in certain weather conditions. Tornadus can be found in [[Bonechill Wastelands]] during a snowstorm, Thundurus can be found between [[Sand's Reach]] and [[Lunker's Lair]] during a thunderstorm, and Landorus can be found on [[Ramanas Island]] during sunny weather. After the player completes the [[Pokédex]] entries for all three and reports back to Cogita, she reveals that there is a fourth member of the group, Enamorus, which she presents before it leaves. Enamorus can then be found in the [[Scarlet Bog]] (in any weather). After Enamorus's Pokédex entry is completed, Cogita rewards the player with the [[Reveal Glass]].

==In the anime==
[[File:Forces of Nature anime.png|thumb|250px|The initial Forces of Nature in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]
{{main|Forces of Nature (anime)}}
The Forces of Nature first appeared in ''[[BW059|Stopping the Rage of Legends! Part 1]]'' and ''[[BW060|Part 2]]'' in which it was described that they once fought on [[Milos Island]]. Tornadus and Thundurus each had a shrine sealing them from returning to the island, but due to {{TRT}} destroying the shrines, they arrived and resumed their destructive rampage. As a result, [[Lewis]] enlisted {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} in a plan to use the [[Abundant Shrine]] on the island to call Landorus, who would stop the battle.

Once Landorus finally appeared, the three fought viciously, eventually becoming tired out. At that point, Team Rocket attacked, with [[Dr. Zager]] using a weapon on his helicopter to trap the three in laser boxes so they could be taken away. When Ash and the others attacked the helicopter he was forced to release them, and they went back to fighting until Lewis's [[Revival Herb]] gave Landorus the strength to subdue Tornadus and Thundurus. The Forces of Nature then used their respective powers to heal Milos Island before leaving for good.

[[File:Forces of Nature Therian anime.png|thumb|250px|The initial Forces of Nature in their Therian Formes in the anime]]
Tornadus, Thundurus, and Landorus appeared again in ''[[BW097|Unova's Survival Crisis!]]'', as the final goal of [[Team Rocket]]'s Operation Tempest. In the episode, it is described that they together have the power to control nature, which can be harnessed by one who possesses both {{an|Meloetta}} and the [[Reveal Glass]]. {{an|Giovanni}} lead a massive charge of Team Rocket's forces in a bid to capture Meloetta, then took it to the [[Abyssal Ruins]] to acquire the Reveal Glass. Using the Reveal Glass, he summoned the Forces of Nature and transformed them into their Therian Formes, enslaving them to be his servants.

A great battle ensued, pitting the Therian Forme Forces of Nature under Giovanni's control against Ash, his friends, [[Ridley]] and {{an|Cynthia}}. However, after absorbing a {{m|Thunder}} attack from Thundurus, [[Ash's Pikachu]] used a gigantic {{m|Electro Ball}} that destroyed the pedestal atop the ruins, freeing Meloetta and causing Giovanni to accidentally look directly into the Reveal Glass. As a result of losing Meloetta, who acted as a medium for the use of the trio's power, the power possessed Giovanni and bent him on destroying all of Unova. After Giovanni was saved and Team Rocket fled a short time later, the Forces of Nature were calmed by Meloetta's singing and transformed back into their Incarnate Formes when Ridley used the Reveal Glass himself. They were last seen disappearing into a portal in the sky as the Abyssal Ruins returned to the depths of the ocean.

==In the manga==

===Be the Best! Pokémon B+W===
Only Tornadus appeared in the [[Be the Best! Pokémon B+W]] manga.

===Pokémon Adventures===
{{main|Forces of Nature (Adventures)}}
In [[Pokémon Adventures]], Thundurus was the first of the Forces of Nature to appear, with {{adv|Black}} encountering him in [[Nimbasa City]] after defeating [[Elesa]]. Later, {{adv|White}} and [[Shauntal]] witnessed Thundurus and Tornadus clashing while aboard the [[Battle Subway]]. The clash was stopped by Landorus, but just as he was dragging Thundurus and Tornadus back into the skies, all three [[Legendary Pokémon]] were easily {{pkmn2|caught}} by [[Giallo]] of the [[Seven Sages]]. The Forces of Nature were later used by the [[Shadow Triad]] to defeat the [[Gym Leader]]s defending the [[Nacrene City]] museum, and by the [[Colress|Hood Man]] to battle the [[Elite Four]] during [[Team Plasma]]'s assault on the {{un|Pokémon League}}.

In the {{chap|Black 2 & White 2}}, Team Plasma gained access to the Therian Formes of the Forces of Nature after acquiring the [[Reveal Glass]]. They were used by the Shadow Triad to battle {{adv|Blake}} at the [[Cold Storage]] and the {{adv|Swords of Justice}} near the [[Giant Chasm]]. After [[Kelden|Keldeo]] broke the Reveal Glass, the Forces of Nature were defeated, along with the Shadow Triad. Following this, the Forces of Nature escaped from Team Plasma's control.

==Trivia==
* Each member of the group bears a different number of horns: Thundurus has one, Tornadus has two, Landorus has three, and Enamorus has four.
* In [[Generation V]], the Forces of Nature have their own battle transition. A small orange beam will shoot across the screen horizontally from right to left and then a flash will appear before the battle starts.
* In [[Generation V]], the Therian Formes cannot be traded.
* The members of this group are all weak to the {{t|Ice}} type, with Landorus having a double weakness to it.
* Tornadus and Thundurus were initially red and blue in color, but were changed as they clashed with {{p|Sawk}} and {{p|Throh}}, who were also designed after ''{{wp|Oni}}''. In addition, Landorus was added later when a change was made during development, suggesting that the Forces of Nature was meant to be a duo as opposed to initially a trio.<ref>[http://lavacutcontent.com/ken-sugimori-nintendo-dream/ Translation of the Nintendo Dream interview]</ref>

===Origin===
The Incarnate Formes of the original trio appear to be based on {{wp|kami}} from Japanese mythology: {{wp|Fūjin}}, the kami of wind; {{wp|Raijin}}, the kami of thunder; and {{wp|Inari Ōkami|Inari}}, the kami of fertility, respectively.

They may also be thought of as representing the different domains of the world: Landorus represents the land, Tornadus the heavens, and Thundurus a transitional state between the two (lightning). Each member of the trio bears features with a strong resemblance to {{wp|magatama}}. Some of the spots that cover their bodies are shaped like them, as are their tails: a bulbous head with a thinning offshoot, most prominent in Tornadus.

The concept of Incarnate and Therian Formes and the Reveal Glass may be based on ancient Chinese {{wp|Yaoguai}}, animals/plants cultivating the universal powers for thousands of years to become deities, but their true identities can still be revealed by the Demon-Detecting Mirror. {{wp|Incarnation}} is the process of an immaterial being taking on a material form, with this material form being an incarnate. Therian refers to something with a spiritual or psychological association with an animal.

Alongside {{p|Enamorus}} introduced in {{g|Legends: Arceus}}, the four Therian Formes seem to draw inspiration from the {{wp|Four Symbols|Four Auspicious Beasts}}.

Forces of nature

{{incomplete|needs=The manga section needs expansion, ORAS}}
[[File:Forces of Nature Sugimori.png|thumb|250px|The Forces of Nature, each in their Incarnate Formes]]
[[File:Forces of Nature-Therian Sugimori.png|thumb|250px|The Forces of Nature, each in their Therian Formes]]
The '''Forces of Nature''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|大自然の力|だいしぜんのちから}}''' ''forces of nature'') is a collective term to refer to the quartet of {{p|Tornadus}}, {{p|Thundurus}}, {{p|Landorus}}, and {{p|Enamorus}}. They are also known by fans as the '''kami quartet''', '''cloud quartet''', or '''Legendary genies'''.

The [[Reveal Glass]] will switch them between their [[List of Pokémon with form differences#Forces of Nature|Incarnate and Therian Formes]]. In Therian Forme, they are accessible from the [[Pokémon Dream Radar]] and downloadable onto {{2v2|Black|White|2}}.

The '''Incarnate Formes''' is the form the Forces of Nature tend to be in most of the time whenever they stay in a region. The '''Therian Formes''' is the true form of the Forces of Nature which they assume for traveling to different regions and when enriching the soil.

==Myths==
[[File:Forces of Nature myth.png|thumb|220px|Myth as portrayed in the anime]]
Upon visiting the Abundant Shrine, the player will cross a group of three children arguing just before the shrine. They collectively tell the folktale of how "Great Landorus" allegedly punished two other Legendary Pokémon (Tornadus and Thundurus) for wreaking massive destruction across the land with their ferocious gales and fierce thunderstorms. As such, the thankful inhabitants of the land—saved from the danger posed by the Cyclone and Bolt Strike Pokémon—constructed a shrine in honor of Landorus. While Tornadus and Thundurus always fought each other since the beginning of time, they tend to try and avoid each other in order to avoid the wrath of Landorus.

At some point in history, Landorus and {{p|Enamorus}} would arrive at [[Hisui]] region after traveling the sea to it during winter's end. Together the duo brought life and field growth to the land of Hisui, bringing forth spring. The duo was revered as gods by the locals in gratitude.

In {{2v2|Black|White|2}}, it is revealed that the Forces of Nature were in their Therian Formes in the time period depicted in the myth. A man suggests that he is unsure whether the Therian Formes or Incarnate Formes are the true Formes of the trio.

In [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]], [[Professor Laventon]] deduced that the Therian Formes are the true forms of the Forces of Nature, given that the Therian Formes are seen when they travel the seas while also assuming they are seen as Incarnate Formes when staying in a region.

Poliwrath is a blue, bipedal {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with a round body and muscular arms. It has bulbous eyes that protrude from the top of its head and its belly is covered by a white and black swirl. There appear to be white gloves on its hands, and it has rounded, digit-less feet.

Poliwrath's body is almost entirely muscle, and the muscles in its arms and legs never tire. It also has zero percent body-fat. When it swims, it uses all of the muscles in its body and is able to swim vast distances with minimal breathing. It is even capable of briefly running on the water's surface. It can also smash through ice and plow forward using its strong arms. Poliwrath is capable of out-swimming even world-class swimmers. Poliwrath is also skilled at martial arts. It can launch powerful square punches capable of crushing boulders into dust. Many children learn how to swim by replicating Poliwrath's movement. It is one of the most gifted swimmers of all {{type|Water}} Pokémon.

Being the result of an evolution via [[Evolution stone]], Poliwrath is rarely found in the wild. When found, it is usually seen living on dry land {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Water's-edge Pokémon|near the water's edge}}, despite it being an excellent swimmer. In [[Alola]], Poliwrath found are strong enough to use the breaststroke while swimming.

==Trivia==
[[File:Nyosuka.png|thumb|200px|right|Poliwrath's early design, Nyosuka]]
* In [[Generation II]] and {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, a man in [[Celadon City]] with a Poliwrath says that he hopes that it will evolve into a frog Pokémon one day. Although the Pokémon he was thinking of is most likely {{p|Politoed}}, it is too late, as it is {{p|Poliwhirl}}, not Poliwrath, that evolves into Politoed when traded while holding a [[King's Rock]].
* An [[Media:Nyosuka.png|early design]] of Poliwrath revealed on Game Freak's official Japanese website circa 1997 depicts it wearing a crown, similar to the [[King's Rock]], which is necessary to evolve Poliwhirl into Politoed.
* Poliwrath shares its {{pkmn|category}} with {{p|Poliwag}}, Poliwhirl, and {{p|Tympole}}. They are all known as the Tadpole Pokémon.
* In some illustrations, Poliwrath is depicted with four fingers instead of three.

===Origin===
Poliwrath is based on a {{wp|glass frog}}. The spiral pattern on its belly is supposed to represent how the organs of these frogs and other tadpoles can sometimes be seen through their transparent skin. It may also be based on amphibian {{wp|neoteny}}, as it stays in tadpole form and does not {{wp|Metamorphosis#Amphibians|metamorphose}} into a {{wp|frog}}. Its brawny body and newfound {{type|Fighting}} could be an interpretation of the frogs' bulky bodies and vastly heightened muscle mass and strength in comparison to the infant tadpole.

====Name origin====
Poliwrath is a combination of ''{{wp|tadpole|polliwog}}'' (another name for a tadpole), and ''wrath'' (anger).

Nyorobon is a combination of ニョロニョロ ''nyoronyoro'' (the sound of slithering) and an alternate reading of 洪 ''kō'' (deluge or flood) is ''hon'' (relative to ''bon'').

== Real definition for psuedo-legendary ==

Isn't it a BST of 600? [[User:The Placebo Effect|The Placebo Effect]] 13:12, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

== Pseudo-legendary --> Powerhouse ==

It seems to me that everyone who commented on this page, other than Shiny Noctowl, was dumbfounded as to the article's title and definition therein. For pages dealing with fanon terminology, this is a good sign that something has been done '''wrong'''; fanon terms are ''necessarily'' known to a large number of fans, as opposed to a select few, or in this case - no more than one.

Furthemore, the page (prior to my editing it) included mentions of Pokémon with legendary characteristics, despite their having nothing to do with the suggested definiton of pseudo-legendary. It was also a mere copy-and-paste of the corresponding section on the [[Legendary]] page. Now, as for the definition itself, it should be crystal-clear that the powerhouses, as defined by myself, are ''distinct'' in their categorization from any other Pokémon ({{p|Flygon}}, for the sake of discussion). Simply put, they are non-legendary Pokémon whose total base stats is 600, which is a great deal higher than Flygon's 520 (see the trivia paragraph for clarification on {{p|Slaking}}). Besides, what makes Flygon any more special than {{p|Aggron}}, {{p|Walrein}} and the 7 fully-evolved, two-typed starters? All of these match the definition used by Shiny Noctowl. I do hope that competitive usage is not the reason, because {{p|Swampert}} and {{p|Infernape}} clearly outweigh Flygon in that regard.

It amazes me that everyone assumed that the definition was acceptable simply because someone had put it forth. Bulbapedia encourages critical thinking and sets virtually no limits on the users' capacity to edit existing pages. Why was I the only one who had the fortitude to replace the previous definition with one that is actually used by the fandom? --[[User:Unown Lord|Unown Lord]] 16:47, 4 January 2008 (UTC)
:Mudkipchan apparently heard pseudo-legendary on Smogon, and I've heard pseudo-legendary on several websites, so I think it should be moved back. I agree, though, that the definition needed some work. But why remove Flygon? Its stats are slightly lower, but base stats shouldn't be included in the definition. Other than base stats, Flygon is in every way a pseudo-legendary. [[User:Shiny Noctowl|S<big>h</big>i<big>n</big>y]] [[User talk:Shiny Noctowl|<big>N</big>o<big>c</big>t<big>o</big>w<big>l</big>]]  13:57, 5 January 2008 (UTC)

::You can see my comments on the article's name further below. Now, the explanation for my excluding Flygon should be quite obvious from the pieces of trivia; Dragonite, Tyranitar, Salamence, Metagross and Garchomp have more in common than what you listed in your definition, and in fact, they have more in common than just my addition to that definition (a total base stats of 600). Flygon does not share that common denominator; what it does share with the aforementioned five is also shared by ''at the very least'' Walrein and Aggron, who are part of a three-stage line, have two types, require nearly as much experience to reach their form, and have an even higher total of base stats (530). If the only reason for which you included Flygon but excluded those two is that you thought only Flygon was available strictly in its first form, then you thought wrong: In Generation III Sealeo and Walrein are also not available in the wild; in Generation IV both Vibrava and Sealeo are available (incidentally, Lairon is not).

::But all of that is irrelevant, since neither Flygon nor Walrein (nor Aggron, for that matter) has enough in common with the powerhouses/pseudo-legendaries so as to be added to the group. It is enough to require a total base stats of 600 to limit the group to the five relevant ones (a respectable addition in and of itself), but again, their common denominator is even greater than that. Look at the trivia and see it for yourself. --[[User:Unown Lord|Unown Lord]] 13:55, 6 January 2008 (UTC)

I agree with Shiny, Pseudo-Legendary makes more sense. I.E. My Snorlax is a powerhouse, but it isn't a pseudo-legendary. My Flygon is not my powerhouse, yet it is a pseudo-legendary. Catch my drift? [[User:Midnight Celtic|Midnight Celtic]] 15:28, 5 January 2008 (UTC)
:Psudo legendary should be used. But the only pokemon that should meet this criteria are those 3 stage evos with a base stat of 600. Slaking is questionable, but I would say no to it, as well as flygon. [[User:The Placebo Effect|The Placebo Effect]] 01:08, 6 January 2008 (UTC)

absolutly, my old car was nicknamed "the powerhouse" but it was definatly not a pokemon! that being said, "powerhouse" is a general term, it sounds more like a metagame term than a true definition. i could load a powerful pokemon with powerful attacks, and ive got a powerhouse, but a psuedo-legendary means its special in some way, and what you are trying to appeal here is to somone whos never jheard the term before, and they will almost understand what psuedo-legendary just by the sound, where as a powerhouse requires an explanation. '''[[User:MAGNEDETH|MAG]][[User:MAGNEDETH#Interesting Stuff|NE]][[User talk:MAGNEDETH|DETH]]''' 04:00, 6 January 2008 (UTC)
:I agree, powerhouse is too broad a term for these Pokémon. Pseudo-legendary fits the bill better. '''[[User:TTEchidna|''TTE'']][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]][[User:TTEchidna/GSDS|GSDS!]]''' 05:57, 6 January 2008 (UTC)

::First of all, my ''true'' gripe was with the contents of the article; redirecting the article to a new title was primarily symbolic of the reshifting of its underlying ideas. However, I would like to point out the irony in the statement that powerhouse is too broad a term spanning just about every overused Pokémon - the same can be said of pseudo-legendary, as evidenced by the fact that this article originally contained a separate list of Pokémon with legendary characteristics!

::Furthermore, I personally feel that ''pseudo-legendary'' should be used to describe only two Pokémon that are not even mentioned in the article: {{p|Unown}} and {{p|Phione}}. ''Legendary'' alludes to mystery and nature or universe-controlling abilities; this article deals with battle prowess, for which legendaries are certainly well known, but it takes second place to their aura. Besides, some legendaries are not as battle-competent as the pseudo-legendaries/powerhouses in the article - practically all tweleve members of the legendary trios, and arguably some others. This comparison holds in base stats (the legendary trio all have a total of 580, which is lower than 600), but even an in-depth comparison on a competitive level leads to the same conclusion, at least generally. Therefore, is it justified to attach the name ''pseudo-legendary'' to a definition that highlights the battle prowess of Pokémon that are actually stronger than some legendaries? On the other hand, Unown and Phione are indeed pseudo-legendary if the term is taken to mean a Pokémon whose aura is associated with a true legendary ({{p|Suicune}} in Unown's case and {{p|Manaphy}} in Phione's).

::But I digress, as I do agree that if ''pseudo-legendary'' is more frequently used by the fandom to describe the group in question, then it should be used for the purposes of discussing a fanon term.

::One last thing - I appreciate Politoed666's token of solidarity. I don't mind reversions to my own edits, especially when done by another sysop, but it isn't my idea of showing respect; it would have been better to wait a bit longer in case I had arguments to present. I only wonder why the same level of urgency was not taken to revise the contents of the article in its original format, when it obviously needed re-working. --[[User:Unown Lord|Unown Lord]] 13:55, 5 January 2008 (UTC)

I agree with certain points made by Unown Lord. Perhaps the overall issue with the term "pseudo-legendary" is the usage of "legendary." There are Pokémon that are "legendary" which do have certain exclusive characteristics, and applying the term to another group has its drawbacks. While the term may certain have specific applications to the pseudo-legendary Pokémon it is difficult to draw a completely defined line, contrary to the case with legendary Pokémon. The debate over which Pokémon "qualify" has no feasible ending point, as fans will always stick to their opinion concerning which ones "deserve" to be included. Sure, we have limits on Bulbapedia but in spite of this fact, there is still such an issue, as we can see from this very page. Honestly, I have no problem with the term, despite how vague it is and the supposed difficulty adhering to its guidelines. My wife on the other hand, disagrees with its usage for many of the reasons I mention. [[User:Deviant Audio|Deviant Audio]] 16:01, 7 February 2011 (UTC)

== 600 stat point total a requirement? ==

Doesn't that seem a little subjective? I mean sure they all have that but that doesn't mean a future Pokemon of similar psuedo-legend status will have that total. Plus with these Pokemon it could just be coincidence they all have 600. Having 600 total might have been how it happened for all of them, but I just don't seem it as a ''requirement'' per se. Just that that's how it happened. Toastypk 03:34, 15 June 2008 (UTC)
:Not really. The psuedo-legends were most likely designed so that their stats WOULD total 600. The only likely exception would be Dragonite due to Special Attack/Defence being a single stat in Generation 1, but it was probably reworked to total 600 in Generation 2. It's hardly likely to be coincedence that their base stats all total 600. - [[User:Nebula|Nebula]] 16:54, 27 June 2008 (UTC)

== Available only as their first form. ==

The article states that "Most pseudo-legendaries are obtainable in the wild strictly in their first form. However, Dragonair is also obtainable in the wild in most games where Dratini is (all but Pokémon Red, Green and Blue). Likewise, Pupitar is available in the wild in Crystal. Gabite is found in Victory Road in Platinum."

However, with the addition of Platinum, Gabite can be found in the wild. This means that no, only 2 out of the 5 of them are only found in their first form in the wild. I honestly don't think that something like that should be included in the article, since when was 2 out of 5 "most", or even noteworthy? You could say that all 5 of them have the colour blue on them somewhere, but is that noteworthy?

I'd have already removed it, but the page is protected. [[User:Ggled|Ggled]] 22:09, 8 May 2009 (UTC)

It doesn't fit the 600 total, (540 in case you were wondering) but it's dual type, it has 3 stages in the family, and it's at the end of the Pokedex. Sorry about bringing up another Pokemon [[User:BaconBoy|Corvy]] 12:25, 13 July 2009 (UTC)

== Base Stat total trivia ==

On all the pseudo legendaries, there is a trivia entry stating that they have the second highest base stat total behind slaking. It then goes on to say how it's tied with the other pseudo legendaries etc etc.
Wouldn't it make more sense to just not have this? I mean there's already a link to the pseudo legendary page (here) at the top of the page, and it explains here that they all have the same base stat total etc. Just seems redundant to me and pointless trivia.

Stated in the characteristics section, it says that Garchomp's evolution line is not next to any notable pokemon.

== Two types really necessary? ==

I'd say the defining feature is the 600 BST. The page, in more than one place, describes the fact that pseudolegendaries have two types as though you couldn't, even in theory, have a pseudolegendary without it, but is that so? Obviously, all the pseudos that currently exist have two types (and we should mention that fact, don't get me wrong), but wouldn't we just adjust our definition if they (hypothetically) introduced a monotype pseudo in the sixth generation? I don't think we should "define" a pseudo as having two types; nor should we list that as one of the reasons Slaking isn't. --[[User:HeroicJay|HeroicJay]] 17:25, 7 February 2011 (UTC)

== Ulgamoth ==

This may be shot down, but SURELY Ulgamoth is a pseudo-legendary. It may lack the Base Stats and Second Evolution, but it's clearly intended to be in the same tier. Its final evolution receives the EV yield of a Third-Stage pokemon, it comes right after Sazandorah, just like how Salamence and Metagross are placed next to each other (Garchomp was separated from legendaries by Evolutions from previous gens). It has significant mythology connected to it, and is obtained in peculiar ways, one of which is fashioned like a Legendary Encounter. It evolves at a ridiculously high level. Hell, the concept itself is that of something that would have a cocoon stage, but missed out on it somehow. The 550 Base Stat is peculiar, but surely can be put down to it having Butterfly Dance, an obscenely powerful move. Pretty much everything points it to being a counterpart with Sazandorah as the two pseudo-legendaries of Generation 5. [[User:N-Denizen|N-Denizen]] 23:30, 9 February 2011 (UTC)

:::I would like to disagree with everyone that opposes Volcarona as a Pseudo-Legendary. Just have a look at nearly every other Bug type that came before it for instance, and you'll notice that ALL tend to have stats below 400 or very rarely reaching 500 or higher. In nearly all games before B/W it was almost like a rule or some sort, or a tradition. Perhaps Volcarona lives up to this tradition even with B/W's upgrade to Bug types. As a Bug type, it would not be able to have as high of stats as other types if it followed this old tradition, so that would explain Volcarona's BST of 550 instead of 600. Another possible explaination is probably just an excuse to make it have a lower BST than Genesect. The big seal to all this is that Alder uses Volcarona as his main Pokemon. Why would it be used as his main if it wasn't a Pseudo-Legendary? Why just have something random instead of a Psuedo-legendary or even a Legendary? It all starts to make sense when you think about it. Volcarona, though having a lower BST than the other Pseudo-Legends, still has the exact same kind of power you'd expect from one due to it's gargantuan stats compared to other Bug types. Even Genesect feels very weak in comparison to Volcarona, as well as giving Tyranitar and Metagross something to fear and respect at the same time. So the point of all of this is, it would seem reasonable to accept Volcarona as a Pseudo-Legend due to past treatment of Bug types in general. Besides, doesn't it seem more like a fan idea to have them required to have a BST of 600 and be a 3 stage line? What if GF has their own requirements to the idea and simply design them as they please? For a Bug type to fill this role, all of this would make alot of sense. Why simply believe a Pseudo-Legend requires those things only because of past tradition from Gen I-IV? Wouldn't it be fair for a Bug type Pseudo-Legend to exist yet still follow the tradition of Bug types having lower Base stats than others? [[User:Shiramu Kuromu|Shiramu Kuromu]] 20:36, 6 August 2011 (UTC)
::::Pseudo-legendary is a fan term, so fans determine the requirements. It is based on a pattern we as fans have detected in each generation? Being "strong" has nothing to do with being pseudo-legendary (other than that pseudo-legendary requires a 600 BST). Champion usage does not make something pseudo-legendary, even if it is their primary Pokémon. Alder doesn't use a legendary Pokémon because they are restricted to battle facility Trainers and storyline events. They did not fit it into their previous pattern. Anything that breaks the mold is not bending the pattern, but rejecting it. What does Volcarona have in common with actual pseudo-legendary Pokémon? If we let Volcarona in, then the definition of pseudo-legendary becomes "has two types, needs 1,250,000 exp to get to level 100". Now, if you look at {{cat|Pokémon in the Slow experience group|this list of Pokémon in that experience group}} and pick out all the dual typed Pokémon, excluding legendary Pokémon, you can see just how many there are. To name a few, {{p|Abomasnow}}, {{p|Aggron}}, {{p|Sharpedo}}, {{p|Lanturn}}. And that is only a few of them. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 11:49, 7 August 2011 (UTC)
:::::Now you're being just biased about all this. Why do they all need BSTs of 600? Can't Volcarona be the exception due to it's Bug typing? Even if Dual typed and Slow exp group were the only requirements now, it would all still be the same, since Volcarona would be the only Pseudo-Legend that doesn't fill the previous 600 BST requirement. All you seem to be trying to do is sticking too much to tradition, because honestly, I thought you'd stick with the 1st to 4th gen's Pseudo-Legend tradition of Attack being the highest stat when it was revealed Hydreigon's highest was Special Attack instead. Due to that, I thought everybody would be biased with even it due to favoring Special Attack instead. Volcarona, when compared to Aggron of Flygon, makes far more sense as a Pseudo-Legendary. Honestly, I think of Pseudo-Legendaries having the highest BST of all non-legendaries out of one of their types. Dragonite, Salamence, Garchomp, and Hydreigon have the highest Base Stat total of all non-legendary Dragon types, Tyranitar has the highest of all Non-legendary Rock types, and the highest for Dark types along with Hydreigon. Metagross has the highest out of all Non-legendary Steel and Psychic types. Volcarona has the highest of all Non-legendary Bug types. It all makes sense when you consider how a Pseudo-Legendary could be designed with that in mind. [[User:Shiramu Kuromu|Shiramu Kuromu]] 21:56, 7 August 2011 (UTC)

::::::-Non-legendary.

::::::With this in mind, ONLY Dragonite, Tyranitar, Salamence, Metagross, Garchomp, Hydreigon, and Volcarona fit all four of these requirements.

Didn't want to start an edit war, so I'm just going to post here to see what others think.

I myself was unaware that they all need 1.25 million experience points to hit level 100. Does anyone else think that that fact in the definition in the opening paragraph is extraneous?

== Slaking ==

I am aware that an argument has already been brought up to add Slaking to the list. I think it should be added, for the following reasons. From what I understand, the definition here of a Pseudo-Legendary is (a) it can't be legendary. (b) It must evolve twice. It is not part of the definition that all of them must be dual typed, nor that they must have an immunity. This is simply a trait that all of the current members of the list happen to share. The third part of the current definition is that all of them must have exactly 600 BST. This is the part I don't understand. I can understand why it would be nice to have a requirement for at least 600, but why does it have to be exact? This brings us to Slaking. It has the highest base stats of any non-legendary. It evolves twice. Why should it be denied the position of being pseudo-legendary for being too powerful? Pseudo-legendary means "resembling a legendary", and legendaries are supposed to be powerful. There are 16 legendaries with a BST over 600, and 11 even higher than Slaking's. In terms of its lack of a second type, 22 out of 47 legendaries are single-typed. Slaking's lack of a second type definitely should not exclude it from being a pseudo-legendary. [[User:Tk3141|Tk3141]] 22:19, 7 March 2012 (UTC)
:''Slaking, though not pseudo-legendary, has the highest base stats of all non-legendary Pokémon and one immunity, to the Ghost-type. However, it lacks some factors: a base-stat total of 600 and a secondary type. Slaking is also hindered by its ability, Truant, which is likely the reason for its high stats. '' From this page. However I would say the biggest reason it is not on here is because Truant truly cripples any astounding power it has. The only time to experience its true full potential is in a double battle with a Pokemon that uses Skill Swap on it so it can attack every turn rather than half the turns.

::As I mentioned above, however, I don't think that a secondary type or an exact BST should be part of the definition.

== So seriously, what's the definition? ==

As I pointed out above (and nearly no one responded), if the sixth gen introduces a non-legendary Pokemon with a 600 BST with only one type will we say that it's not pseudolegendary, or will we just change the definition of what a psuedolegendary is? Why is having two types or a specific level-up curve considered a ''necessary condition'' to being a pseudolegendary rather than just a trait all of the current ones happen to have? Indeed, given that you can completely remove either restriction or both of them and not change the list of pseudolegendary Pokemon ''at all'' (you can't do so with the 600 BST or the fact that they come from evolutionary families), I'd say Occam's Razor would slice away those unnecessary conditions. --[[User:HeroicJay|HeroicJay]] 07:09, 29 May 2012 (UTC)
: PS. I'd like to point out that the opening paragraph used to mention that all pseudos had Attack as their highest stat, though it wisely did not include that as a part of the definition of what makes a pseudo a pseudo. [[Hydreigon|Now it doesn't say that any more.]] Just sayin'. --[[User:HeroicJay|HeroicJay]] 07:26, 29 May 2012 (UTC)
::The pseudolegendaries are variations on a theme. The dual types and stats are part of that theme. Single type would suggest that there's an underlying difference. Experience group makes them hard to raise, suggesting that they're all very similar. Like PP of moves, experience group is an indicator of the similarity of Pokemon. If Nintendo feel the need to make it a lower experience group, that makes it easier to raise, suggesting that there are underlying differences - the Pokemon are not considered equal. Stats like that aren't just a random choice. [[User:Werdnae|Werdnae]] [[User talk:Werdnae|(talk)]] 20:01, 29 May 2012 (UTC)
:::I can't say I agree. We can say that the two types and the level-up curve are traits they all have, at present, but how is it part of the definition? If you remove those restrictions, the number of pseudolegendary Pokemon remains six, so those restrictions aren't helping with the definition and just unnecessarily restrict possible future psuedolegendaries. I was asked to provide a source that they're not necessary. Where's the source that they are? I mean, let's say, totally hypothetically, that one made a page called "Pikachu Clones" back in the fourth gen, discussing Pokemon such as Pichu, Plusle, Minun, and Pachirisu. (The usefulness of such a page isn't the point; let's just say that one existed.) At the time, they decided to define the Pokemon as "Cute mono-Electric-type Pokemon that have a resemblence to Pikachu. Aside from Pichu and Pikachu, none of the Pikachu clones evolve." Are you to say that, when the fifth gen came out, this hypothetical page would have been wrong to alter its definition and include Emolga? If so, why? And if not, then why did the definition need to include the "mono-" part of it at all if it's unnecessarily limiting and so easily discarded? --[[User:HeroicJay|HeroicJay]] 20:57, 29 May 2012 (UTC)
::::I personally don't think having two types should be part of the definition; I don't see a pure Dragon-type pseudo legendary Pokemon being that unlikely. I did a quick search, and I couldn't find any other non-forum giving a definition of pseudo-legendary Pokemon, so there is nothing stating either way. However, I would say experience group is just as important as BST. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 12:42, 1 June 2012 (UTC)
:::::No, I still stand against it. I'm being treated like I'm trying to redefine which Pokemon are pseudolegendary, and, yes, I do see that others have tried. But I'm not. Removing these two restrictions does nothing. It's Dragonite, Tyranitar, Salamence, Metagross, Garchomp, and Hydreigon now. It'll be Dragonite, Tyranitar, Salamence, Metagross, Garchomp, and Hydreigon if you remove those restrictions.
:::::Who made the call that they're necessary to the definition? I've been asked to source that they're not. Why must I prove the negative? It's the positive case that requires proof! Should I add a [citation needed] to the definition?
:::::If you were to remove the 600 BST part of the defintion, and still keep everything else, you'd add things like Aggron and Rhyperior to the list, so we can't do that.
:::::The "three-stage evolutionary family" thing comes off to me as a roundabout way of saying "not legendary", but I'm fine with it since legendary status can be arguable (the Legendary page on this very wiki is unsure on Phione, and even though I strongly disagree, I've even seen modern fans try to argue Rotom's legendary status.) And without it, Jirachi and Landorus are brought into the list of "pseudolegendaries", so obviously that restriction is necessary, regardless of the wording.
:::::But why type combos? Why experience groups? Removing them changes what? Is there a 600-BST three-stage mono-type family in the medium-slow group that is clearly not pseudolegendary I'm somehow unfamiliar with? (Well, Slaking has a 6'''7'''0 BST and three stages and is a monotype, though he is in the Slow group, but... Truant is all it takes to convince me he's not a proper pseudolegendary. And he's the closest there is, besides the obvious six!)
:::::As I said, if you were to put on the side (in Trivia or something) that all of them, at present, are dualtypes in the Slow experience group, you wouldn't see me argue - it's true, after all.

::::::Thing is, pseudo-legendary is the observation of a pattern and nothing more.

Knowing the fandom—who tried and push Volcarona and Haxorus into being pseudo-legendary—there will certainly be many people who think it should be. However, it won't truly be one. I don't see that ever happening though, as experience group is part of the pattern.

:::::::::::I would argue that, though it's not a very specific or encyclopedic definition, a pseudo-legendary Pokemon would be a non-legendary Pokemon as strong, stat-wise, as legendaries.

Now that said, all pseudos that exist have 600; there's no argument here and it works to say it.

:1. (3.2.8 Other) Dragonite and Tyranitar's Special Defenses of 100 pale in comparison to Goodra's 150.
:2. (3.3 Users) Last I checked, Shauna is neither an Elite 4 member nor a Champion, and so should probably be included in the second list (which, by the way, already has more than three examples, with two of them being outside of Diamond, Pearl and Platinum).

Its signature move Megahorn is the most powerful bug type move, and it's movepool contains some powerful moves like Earthquack and Focuspunch with its base stat comes par with legendary pokemon and even has 4x damage on celebi.

== Edit request for definition of "pseudo-legendary" ==

"'''Pseudo-legendary Pokémon''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|擬似伝説|ぎじでんせつ}}''' ''pseudo-legendary'') is a fan term commonly used to refer to any Pokémon that has a three-stage [[evolution]] line, [[Experience#Slow|1,250,000 experience at level 100]], and a [[base stats|base stat]] total of exactly {{cat|Pokémon with a base stat total of 600|600}}. The term originates from the prefix ''pseudo-'', which means "false". Pseudo-legendary Pokémon are often more powerful than many other non-[[Legendary Pokémon]] due to their high base stats.

Other variations of the definition omit the need to have 1,250,000 experience at level 100."

should become

"'''Pseudo-legendary Pokémon''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|擬似伝説|ぎじでんせつ}}''' ''pseudo-legendary'') is a fan term commonly used to refer to any [[Pokémon (species)|Pokémon]] that is not in the [[Undiscovered (Egg Group)|Undiscovered Egg Group]] and has a [[base stats|base stat]] total of exactly {{cat|Pokémon with a base stat total of 600|600}}. Currently, all pseudo-legendary Pokémon have exactly two [[evolution|pre-evolutions]] which can only evolve by leveling up past a certain [[level]] and [[Experience#Slow|1,250,000 experience at level 100]]. The term originates from the prefix ''pseudo-'', which means "false". Pseudo-legendary Pokémon are often more powerful than many other non-[[Legendary Pokémon]] due to their high base stats."

The BST of 600 matters because anything less would make it less "legendary". Legendary Pokemon are set apart by their lack of evolutionary relatives, inability to breed, and high stats. As long as a Pokemon meets the latter requirement and not the former two, wouldn't it make sense for it to be a pseudo-legendary Pokemon?

:No, it's not okay for it to only have "high stats". Psuedo-legendaries were ''originally'' (strong) Pokemon who came between ''legitimate'' Legendary Pokemon in the Pokedex but were not Legendaries themselves. The definition of "psuedo-legendary" is molded to conform to the strong pattern that those Pokemon showed: three stages, BST 600, slow experience.

== New Evidence! ==

I play Pokemon Black 2. I noted that whenever I send out a Legendary that lands on the ground (like the 3 musketeers and Zekrom), there is a shimmer effect after they land. This seems to show that this Pokemon is a legendary. However, there are other Pokemon who have this shimmer effect as they land, too.

Examples include Tyranitar, Crustle, Arcanine, Onix, Steelix, Dragonite, Graveler, Golem, Milotic, Emboar, Metagross, Beartic, and Mamoswine.

Could these Pokemon and others in fact have a classification as "Legendary"? Are they just some of the strongest Pokemon, or are they all just heavy? {{unsigned|Reshiespeon}}

== "For one reason or another..." ==

In the Trivia section at the bottom of the page, five pokemon commonly mistaken for pseudo-legendaries are listed, followed by the sentence "For one reason or another, these Pokémon do not fit the criteria of those above and so are not pseudo-legendary Pokémon."

While this is correct, it would perhaps be more helpful to mention that it is because none of them have a base stat total of 600. It could also, perhaps, be mentioned that Slaking has a higher base stat total than 600, but the criteria require exactly 600 (and perhaps also mention Truant as rationale for not including Slaking anyway--but that's probably too in-depth for a trivia section).

To clarify, I am suggesting, at least, changing "For one reason or another, these Pokémon do not fit the criteria of those above and so are not pseudo-legendary Pokémon." to "None of these Pokémon have the requisite base stat total of 600 to be considered pseudo-legendary." [[User:Xolroc|Xolroc]] ([[User talk:Xolroc|talk]]) 18:09, 18 December 2016 (UTC)

== Requirements to be a pseudo-legendary ==

I am not sure where, exactly, the definition of pseudo-legendary came from, but it strikes me that two of the three criteria given to class a Pokémon as pseudo-legendary are redundant: the pseudo-legendaries are exactly those Pokémon which are not actually legendary or mega-evolutions and have a base stat total of six hundred. No Pokémon besides the eight listed pseudo-legendaries meets this criterion, and so the requirement of a three-stage evolution line and 1250000 experience at level 100 seem redundant to me. I don't know if these redundant criteria should be removed and simply mentioned as common traits all current ones share, or if there is some good reason to keep them.

Note also that the requirements given already, without specifying that mega evolutions don't count as pseudo-legendaries, would make Mega Alakazam and Mega Gengar be pseudo-legendaries. Alternatively, if mega evolution counts as an evolution stage for the "has a three-stage evolution line" requirement, Mega Scizor and Mega Houndour count as pseudo-legendaries. At the very least, "is not a mega evolution" should be added to the criteria.

==About Salamence and Hydreigon==
Should we list that J has a Salamence, and that Cameron has a Hydreigon? Crum Mum 01:48, 22 December 2016 (UTC)

== ''The term originates from the prefix pseudo-, which means "false".'' ==

Why does the lead of this article go out of its way to explain a common English word? I mean, I know Pokemon is targeted at children, and young children may not be familiar with ''pseudo-'', but isn't its meaning obvious from context anyway?

I think it would be best to just remove this sentence, but if not then it should be combined with the following sentence to read something like

''The term combines the prefix ''pseudo-'', which means "false", with ''[[Legendary Pokémon]]'', due to their being more powerful than most other non-Legendary Pokémon and therefore being considered closer to Legendary Pokémon.''

This would eliminate the inaccurate use of "originate" to give the actual etymology. The term doesn't originate from the prefix ''pseudo-''; it originates as a combination of ''pseudo-'' with ''Legendary Pokémon'', <del>and the use of a Japanese term in the first sentence implies it actually originates as a translation from Japanese</del>. (If anyone wants to know why I'm being so pedantic about the meanings of words, it's because I can't edit the page directly and need to be extremely specific about my thinking so that if someone proxies for me they know exactly what they are doing.)

I was thinking that we should add a trivia point about Metagross and Goodra, specifically they're the only two pseudos that don't have a 4x weakness (Dragonite, Salamence and Garchamp have 4x weakness to Ice, Hydreigon and Kommo-o to Fairy, and Tyranitar to Fighting). The point would just say "Metagross and Goodra are the only two pseudo-legendary pokémon that are not 4x weak to a type." Or something like that. Just a thought :/

:::I know this is old and I have complained a lot, I'd like to say before I explain how I see the scenario I would like to apologise on any potential obnoxious behaviour in the past.

::: I personally saw that the claim ''Goodra and Kommo-o are the only pseudo-legendary Pokémon that do not always have a type immunity'' was implying that they did not '''always''' have a type immunity which I interpreted as Kommo-o not 'always' having a type immunity meant that in some scenarios it has the potential to '''have''' a type immunity but only in certain scenarios.
:::I would like to say that my understanding of a type-immunity meant an immunity to the elemental typing of attacks(e.g. fire, water) rather than immunity to certain FORM of attacks (e.g. soundbased, ball/bomb based) which Kommo-o CAN have via Bulletproof/Soundproof.
:::I know Goodra doesn't always have one due to being entirely dependant on the ability Sap Sipper which it doesn't always have but I saw it as with the case of Kommo-o, its Dragon/Fighting typing doesn't grant it any immunities under any circumstances which I thought that the sentence was telling me.
::: So basically I was confused as I believed that the sentence meant that Kommo-o not always having a type immunity meaning that only in some situations does a Kommo-o have the potential to have a type immunity.
:::Sorry if this sounds obnoxious but I just really wanted to say how I viewed the sentence to clear a few things up based on Kommo-o not always having a type immunity.

I know the staff are likely incredibly busy and this isn't top priority at the moment, however, with all the Pokemon's stats and data out, I believe it is well established by now that Dragapult is the Generation VIII pseudo-legendary. Based on all the data surrounding it, everything lines up:

- Dragapult's BST is 600

- It is part of a three-stage evolutionary line

- The entire line has a catch rate of 45 (Dreepy, Drakloak, and Dragapult all have a catch rate of 45)

- It is in the Slow EXP group

- It requires 40 egg cycles to hatch a Dreepy

Just bringing this up for staff to assess. I won't push anyone to get this updated immediately, but bringing this up and if anyone in the staff has objections based on assessment, feel free to discuss them.

*Goodra: Unlike the other pseudo-legendary Pokémon, Goodra is <s>mainly defensive</s> '''more defensive-oriented'''. '''This can be reflected on its stats (with its Special Defense being much higher than its Attack and Special Attack, which are somewhat similar), as well as its Abilities, all of which have some sort of defensive utility.''' <s>Its Attack and Special Attack are very similar.</s> '''However, it focuses slightly more on Special Attack and has a more versatile selection of special attacks'''. <s>It has the lowest base Attack of all the pseudo-legendary Pokémon.</s> (move this fact to a bullet point)

'''Its offensive stats almost mirror those of Goodra, with somewhat similar Attack and Special Attack, though it focuses slightly more on Attack and has a more versatile selection of physical attacks.'''

== Better tables ==

With the introduction of [[Dragapult]], the section "[[Pseudo-legendary Pokémon#List of pseudo-legendary Pokémon|List of pseudo-legendary Pokémon]]" is now broken because it has too many elements side-by-side, creating a horizontal scrollbar even on desktop. I [[User:Lakelimbo/Grids#Side-by-side elements|made this on my userpage]] without using tables inside tables and it doesn't break the screen boundaries (plus it's somewhat responsive). Could someone add this on the page (I can't edit myself)? — [[User:Lakelimbo|'''Lake'''limbo]] ([[User talk:Lakelimbo|talk]]) 20:12, 12 May 2021 (UTC)
:For what it's worth, it looks fine on my end, but I can imagine it being weird on other devices. I think it's more indicative of a deeper problem though... (assumedly) further generations will add more and more pseudo legendaries, adding more and more entries to this table, as well as the base stat table below that. Eventually we'll need to shift to something pretty different from what's already here, and I think it's worth starting the conversation now.

:Just to put it out there, but I'd be perfectly fine with eschewing tables entirely for what is essentially a glorified list. --[[User:Celadonkey|celadonk]] ([[User talk:Celadonkey|talk]]) 21:04, 12 May 2021 (UTC)
::I like the upper tables, they just could be divided into two lines (although double boldness on the names is annoying). The bottom table with stats will not fit on my screen with the next pseudo.--'''[[User:Team Rocket Grunt|Rocket]] [[User talk:Team Rocket Grunt|Grunt]]''' 21:12, 12 May 2021 (UTC)
:::I think that grid layout makes the entries a bit too wide. I've changed this page to just use <code>float: left</code> instead of an outer table, which should fix the key issue with it. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 15:01, 13 May 2021 (UTC)
::::Oh it's alright, I made them wider just to have 4 on the top and 4 on the bottom (on an average screen size). It's also possible to define <code>grid-template-columns: repeat(auto-fit, minmax(250px, auto))</code> to ~167px if <code>float</code> some day becomes problematic/deprecated. — [[User:Lakelimbo|'''Lake'''limbo]] ([[User talk:Lakelimbo|talk]]) 21:23, 13 May 2021 (UTC)

== A few things worth adding ==

It says that Garchomp and Kommo-o are the only pseudo lines not to have a base friendship of 35. As of Generation VIII, this is no longer true, as Dragapult and its evolutionary relatives have the normal base friendship of 50, and thus joins Garchomp and Kommo-o in this regard.

Next, there likely needs to be a brief one-liner for Dragapult describing its stat build like with the other pseudo-legendaries. Something like "Dragapult is unique in that it trades out on bulk to instead focus on being fast and offensive, having extremely high Speed, as well as good Attack and Special Attack". Something to describe its stats like has been done for previous pseudo-legendaries, namely in that it's extremely fast but is also less defensive than other pseudo-legendaries, if anyone thinks they can articulate that better that would be useful as well.

And as for the Trainer/users section, Goodra is used by Raihan in the Champion Cup matches as well as the Galarian Star Tournament. Kommo-o is also used by Mustard in his final match as well as in subsequent rematches and the Galarian Star Tournament.[[User:ScraftyIsTheBest|ScraftyIsTheBest]] ([[User talk:ScraftyIsTheBest|talk]]) 01:44, 6 June 2021 (UTC)

==Late Bloomer==
if thats the official term then why are we not using it for this article?[[User:Roserade57|Roserade57]] ([[User talk:Roserade57|talk]]) 16:31, 23 August 2021 (UTC)
:I guess that we want to be sure that this is the term that is going to be used to refer to these Pokémon even outside of the collection, much like in the case of the ''electric mice'' term, which is a term that so far was only used in the context of a specific collection of merchandise.—[[User:Mister Wu|Mister Wu]] ([[User talk:Mister Wu|talk]]) 18:05, 24 August 2021 (UTC)
::still more official than this made up name.[[User:Roserade57|Roserade57]] ([[User talk:Roserade57|talk]]) 19:45, 5 September 2021 (UTC)

== The pokemon caught through events that arent legendaries (in the game they first appear in) ==

What i mean by this is zorua/zoruark, rotom, lucario, ,spiritomb beldum and togepi. should these ones have a page called eventmon or something if theres a term for them because people tend to lump them in as pseudo legendaries and i aim to prevent such a thing. [[User:Tzer|Tzer]] ([[User talk:Tzer|talk]]) 06:09, 5 January 2022 (UTC)
Forgot to mention volcarona/larvesta as thats also kind of limited[[User:Tzer|Tzer]] ([[User talk:Tzer|talk]]) 19:48, 12 March 2022 (UTC)
:There are pages for Pokemon available through in-game events; for example, [[List of in-game event Pokémon (Sword and Shield)]]. There's not really any common thread between the mons you said specifically apart from being available in special circumstances, though. If people are erroneously lumping them together or thinking they're pseudos despite not being similar at all, that's kind of their problem, as harsh as that sounds. --[[User:Celadonkey|celadonk]] ([[User talk:Celadonkey|talk]]) 21:07, 12 March 2022 (UTC)

'''Druddigon''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''クリムガン''' ''Crimgan'') is a {{type|Dragon}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation V]].

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

==Biology==
Druddigon is a large, blue, draconic {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with medium-sized wings shaped like thistle leaves, although it is never seen flying. Its bright red head is harder than rock and is very rough. It has a set of glaring, ferocious pale yellow irises. Its arms are longer than its legs, giving it the appearance of a hunchback. It has a thick, moderately-sized tail and sharp claws on both the hands and feet. It also has tall, conical, red spikes; three on each arm, one on each shoulder, two on each leg, and four on its tail. It has a blunt, brutal snout, bearing a maw with no discernible teeth; instead, small fang-like protrusions sprout from its jaws. It has a series of olive, ellipsoid scutes running across its belly.

Druddigon is known to be vicious and cunning. It warms its body by taking in sunlight with its wings; if its body temperature lowers, it becomes immobile. It has savage physical strength; it nimbly chases prey around its den, using its outstretched claws to catch them, or charging into them face-first. It infiltrates the tunnels of other Pokémon, such as {{p|Diglett}} and {{p|Dugtrio}}, and waits for its prey to pass by. Druddigon lives in caves, stolen nests from other Pokémon, and is carnivorous.

==Trivia==
* Druddigon shares its {{pkmn|category}} with {{p|Gabite}}. They are both known as the Cave Pokémon.
* Druddigon is the only Pokémon used by both of the Unova League Champions: [[Alder]] in {{g|Black and White}} and [[Iris]] in {{g|Black 2 and White 2}}.

===Origin===
Druddigon appears to be based on the {{wp|Agama agama|red-headed rock agama}}. Its natural appearance and cave-dwelling behavior also seem to resemble a {{wp|European dragon}}. Druddigon's grotesque appearance and ability to become immobile when cold is reminiscent of {{wp|gargoyle (monster)|gargoyles}} and {{wp|troll}}s, both of which turn to stone under certain conditions.

Its shiny-coloration and its wings also resemble a {{wp|taraxacum|dandelion}}.

====Name origin====
Druddigon may be a combination of ''dragon'' and ''ruddy'' (reddish in color). The name also appears to show Welsh influences. These include the ''dd'', a common digraph in the Welsh language, and the ending ''-igon'' being comparable to Welsh ''-igion''. Wales has also had a long association with dragons, with one being featured on its flag. "Drudd" may also be a corruption of "dread", due to Druddigon's fearsome appearance and strength. It may also be derived from ''drudgery''.

Crimgan may be a combination of ''crimson'' and 顔 ''gan'' (face) or 岩 ''gan'' (rock).

==Region location==

::Is Sinnoh linked to Kanto just like Johto (making a single land mass) or an island-like region (like [[Hoenn]]) located North? - [[User:Taylor|Taylor]] 18:13, 17 February 2008 (UTC)
:::It's impossible to tell; we don't know if that strip of land to the south ends or not.--[[User:Urutapu|Ｌｏｖｅはドコ？]] ([[User talk:Urutapu|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Urutapu|contribs]]) 18:33, 17 February 2008 (UTC)
::::Hey, I just had an idea that I wanted to share on it's location compared to Kanto. If you look at the map of Sinnoh, you notice that Mt. Coronet keeps going southward, off the map, along with some land. Now, if you look at the Kanto map, Mt. Moon, as well as parts of land, go northward off the map. Perhaps Mt. Moon and Mt. Coronet connect, and that's how Kanto and Sinnoh connect? I don't know if this was confirmed true or false or anything like that, just voicing my idea.--Shroopliss 22:58, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
:::::Many others have suspected that, but I don't imagine Ash sailed out of Pallet all the way around Sinnoh's northern tip to get to Sandgem. It's likely not connected, just like its real-world counterpart is separate. I wanna see the north of Kanto/Johto regions as much as the next guy, but really, not yet, man. Maybe next gen. '''[[User:TTEchidna|''TTE'']][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]]''' 08:08, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

How does the "old style" map help this article any at all? If anything, the other regions should be updated to look more like new "new style." --[[User:Greengiant|Greengiant]] 19:16, 11 August 2007 (UTC)
:I agree, it's pointless here. But in my opinion, we should wait until there's a GSDS (if there is one) so that we can just take the Kanto/Johto map from there, then update the Sevii Islands and Hoenn after that. Sinnoh alone is fine in the "new style" until we get more regions updated in-game. Plus I doubt we'd get a DS map of Johto or Kanto accurate to what they'd be in a possible GSDS. '''[[User:TTEchidna|T]][[User talk:TTEchidna|T]][[wp:Echidna|Echidna]]''' 20:48, 11 August 2007 (UTC)

Now I am curious. First of all, Sinnoh is an island nation, off the north/northeast coast of Kanto, as said in the anime and as shown in the anime promotional map release near The Rise of Darkrai's Japanese release last year.

Also, what is "old style" and "new style"?

--[[User:HoennMaster|--HoennMaster]] 05:19, 24 June 2008 (UTC)
:The anime saying Sinnoh is an island actually proves something (I don't think the movie map really does, since like in the games, the southern peninsula is obscured, this time by clouds). Meanwhile, an "old style" map is in the style of the GBA town maps while "new style" is the new DS map style.--[[User:Urutapu|Ｌｏｖｅはドコ？]] ([[User talk:Urutapu|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Urutapu|contribs]]) 05:25, 24 June 2008 (UTC)

I still don't understand, could you maybe shown a comparison? I mean how could the GBA games have DS maps?

--[[User:HoennMaster|--HoennMaster]] 06:53, 24 June 2008 (UTC)

:A user would have to recreate the GBA style maps to reflect the DS map. ~[[User:SaturnYoshi|'''$aturn''']][[User:SaturnYoshi|'''¥oshi''']] [[User talk:SaturnYoshi|THE VOICES]] 13:35, 24 June 2008 (UTC)

It is the torn world. Reverse World is the upcoming movie.

Hmm, how should we put it, then?[[User:Totodilesentret|Totodilesentret]] 16:35, 23 March 2009 (UTC)

The distortion world IS a part of Sinnoh!!! How else could it be found under cycling road? It doesn't just materialize at will! It has to have somewhere! It is under the cycling road, as you can catch Giratina there... there is also the fourth lake of Sinnoh. Giratina has a part in the Sinnoh myths. If the lake trio has the three main lakes, and Giratina has the fourth, the distortion world is part of Sinnoh, and should be known as such.

== Could this be trivia? ==

Sinnoh is the first region to have all gyms on the mainland. Kanto was Cinnabar Island, then Johto was Cianwood City, Then Hoenn was Dewford Town. They are all islands. But that would only count for in-game because Canalave City is just islands in the anime right?--[[User:Pokéboy93|Pokéboy93]] 07:40, 19 July 2009 (UTC)

==In-Game Maps==

The in-game maps on this site show Newmoon and Fullmoon Island right next to each other, but in the game there is a space between them....why is this? --[[User:HoennMaster|Hoenn]][[User talk:HoennMaster|Master]] 00:16, 17 October 2009 (UTC)

== 6 Characters ==

Shouldn't we add in the Trivia section that Sinnoh is the only region in the main games, heck, all of the games, to have 6 letters in it's name? Or maybe add that it's the only one in the main games to have over 5 letters? [[User:Pawsrent|Pawsrent]] 18:01, 25 June 2010 (UTC)
:I'm not so keen on this idea. Given the small number of regions, it seems ''too'' trivial. Also, [[Oblivia]]. —'''darklord[[User talk:The dark lord trombonator|trom]]''' 07:10, 27 June 2010 (UTC)
::Especially trivial given that we don't know Isshu's English name yet, and NoA could change up the spelling (or even the pronunciation, like with Shinou/Sinnoh) for the English language releases. --[[User:AndyPKMN|AndyPKMN]] 00:23, 17 October 2010 (UTC)

== Trivia: City Names ==

Should it be mentioned that Sinnoh is the only main region of the main games to not have a theme for the city names? Kanto has colours, Johto has plants, Hoenn is two words combined into one, and Unova has clouds, but, to my knowledge, Sinnoh has no theme for the city names.[[User:Snipehsheep|Snipehsheep]] 18:09, 8 August 2011 (UTC)
:No, I don't think it's notable. While Kanto, Jhoto, and Unova do appear to have a common theme the Sinnoh one is a bit of a stretch. Besides there is a restriction on trivia right now so nothing can be added anyway. [[User:Pokemaster97|--Pokemaster]][[User talk:Pokemaster97|97]] 18:55, 8 August 2011 (UTC)
::"Two words combined" is not a theme. Also, we don't add Trivia. --[[User:Maxim|Maxim]] 21:31, 8 August 2011 (UTC)

== Artwork ==

In the artwork, why does the Platinum map not contain the Battle Zone, instead showing open plain? Why does the DP map at the bottom of the page have it? --[[User:Abcboy|Abcboy]] ([[User talk:Abcboy|talk]]) 21:33, 19 September 2012 (UTC)

== Entirety ==

Has anybody anywhere completely mapped out the entirety of Sinnoh? --[[User:Abcboy|Abcboy]] ([[User talk:Abcboy|talk]]) 02:17, 15 October 2012 (UTC)

== What does "神奥" translate to? ==
Bulbapedia says it translates to "mysterious", but [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pok%C3%A9mon_regions#Sinnoh Wikipedia] says it translates to "god within". Which is the correct one? [[User:Pipcard|Pipcard]] ([[User talk:Pipcard|talk]]) 02:28, 22 February 2013 (UTC)

== Map from DP ==

I'm pretty sure the in-game map from DP in the article is from a Hack Rom or shooped: 
[[File:Sinnoh DP.png]] 
 
In my game (retail Pearl version), [[Newmoon Island]] and [[Fullmoon Island]] are 2 spaces away from each other, exactly like in this map, which is listed as Platinum-only: 
[[File:Sinnoh.png]] 
 
And what's worse, the incorrect map is in almost EVERY article regarding a location in Sinnoh. '''[[User:Hfc2x|hfc]][[User talk:Hfc2x|2X]]''' 16:25, 2 June 2013 (UTC)

== Sakhalin Territorial Dispute ==

It has been brought to my attention that Sakhalin Island has been mentioned along with the four southern-most islands of the Kuriles as being disputed, Sakhalin has not been disputed since after the end of WWII when the Treaty of San Fransisco was signed(1951).

I found this on Wikipedia's page on Sakhalin: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sakhalin#Second_World_War

Does this help?

The '''Galar''' region (Japanese: '''ガラル{{tt|地方|ちほう}}''' ''Galar {{tt|region|chihō}}'') is a [[region]] of the [[Pokémon world]], and the eighth [[core series]] region to be introduced. It is the setting of {{g|Sword and Shield}}.

==Etymology and design concept==
===Etymology===
Galar may have been derived from ''gallant'', ''gala'' (a special occasion), or ''{{wp|Galahad}}''. It may also come from an anagram of ''San-Graal'', the French name of the {{wp|Holy Grail}}. Another possible etymology may be ''galar'', Irish and Scottish Gaelic for "disease," in reference to either [[Dynamax]] and {{p|Eternatus}} or one of Britain's nicknames, Blighty.

===Design concept===
{{main|Pokémon world in relation to the real world#Galar|Pokémon world in relation to the real world → Galar}}
Galar is based on the {{wp|United Kingdom}}.<ref>[https://www.pokemon.com/us/pokemon-news/we-interview-junichi-masuda-and-shigeru-ohmori-about-pokemon-sword-and-pokemon-shield/ We Interview Junichi Masuda and Shigeru Ohmori about ''Pokémon Sword'' and ''Pokémon Shield'' | Pokemon.com]</ref> The main part of Galar focuses heavily on the island of Great Britain, especially {{wp|England}} and (to a lesser extent) {{wp|Wales}}. However, the orientation of the landmass is rotated 180° compared to real-world Great Britain: for example, Northern Galar is based on southern England. The parts of Galar introduced in the [[Pokémon Sword and Shield Expansion Pass]] are based on other parts of the UK. The [[Isle of Armor]] is based on the {{wp|Isle of Man}}, a self-governing crown dependency of the United Kingdom,<ref>[https://twitter.com/pokemonnewsuk/status/1216731889920368643?s=21 Tweet regarding Isle of Armor and Crown Tundra's inspiration]</ref> and the [[Crown Tundra]] is based on {{wp|Scotland}}.

==History==
===Dated history===
The following events are dated in relation to the events of {{g|Sword and Shield}}:
* 20,000 years prior: A meteorite containing {{p|Eternatus}} fell in Galar.
* c. 3,000 years prior: A black storm called the [[Darkest Day]] occurred across Galar and was stopped by {{p|Zacian}} and {{p|Zamazenta}}.
* 50 years prior: [[Mustard]] defeated [[Opal]] and went on to become Galar's {{pkmn|Champion}}.
* 32 years prior: [[Mustard]] loses his position as Galar's Champion. After retiring from the Pokémon League and traveling the world, Mustard returned to Galar, bought an island, named it the "Isle of Armor", and founded the [[Master Dojo]].

===Contemporary history===
====Sword and Shield====
{{ga|Victor}}/{{ga|Gloria}} and their best friend, [[Hop]], receive their [[starter Pokémon]] from [[Leon]], the undefeated {{pkmn|Champion}} and Hop's brother. Shortly thereafter, they meet a mysterious {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} in the [[Slumbering Weald]]. As they begin their {{pkmn|journey}}, they receive [[Pokédex]]es from [[Sonia]], [[Dynamax Band]]s from [[Professor Magnolia]], and [[endorsement]]s from Leon to enter the [[Galar League|Gym Challenge]]. They travel across Galar, challenging [[Gym]]s to earn the eight [[Badge]]s they need to enter the Champion Cup. Over the course of their journey, they encounter a group called [[Team Yell]], whose members support [[Marnie]] in the Gym Challenge. They also encounter another group called [[Macro Cosmos]], a conglomerate led by [[Rose]], who has endorsed his ward [[Bede]] in the Gym Challenge. During the Champion Cup in [[Wyndon Stadium]], Rose interrupts the Championship Match by reawakening {{p|Eternatus}}, bringing about the [[Darkest Day]] in an attempt to provide energy for Galar for 1,000 years. To stop Rose's plan, Victor/Gloria and Hop search for the [[Rusted Sword]] and [[Rusted Shield]] in the Slumbering Weald, and with those [[item]]s in hand, they head to the [[Energy Plant]] in [[Hammerlocke]] to face Rose. Victor/Gloria battles and defeats Rose, then joins Leon and Hop to face Eternatus; in the course of the battle, the Rusted Sword and Rusted Shield summon {{p|Zacian}} and {{p|Zamazenta}} (respectively) to their aid. After defeating Eternatus, Victor/Gloria manages to catch it. They then return to [[Wyndon]] to defeat Leon in the Championship Match, becoming the new Champion of Galar.

After becoming Champion, Hop and Victor/Gloria travel back to the Slumbering Weald to return the Rusted Sword and Rusted Shield. While there, they encounter an odd pair of brothers, [[Sordward]] and [[Shielbert]], who proclaim themselves descendants of the original kings of Galar and steal the Rusted Sword and Rusted Shield. The brothers seek to undermine Zacian and Zamazenta's reputation as saviors of Galar by turning them instead into threats. As an experiment to further their plan, they release Dynamax particles across Galar, sending multiple Dynamax Pokémon out of control across multiple stadiums. Victor/Gloria, Hop, and then-former [[Gym Leader]] [[Piers]] set out to stop the rampaging Pokémon, while Sonia tracks the brothers. The group finds them at the Hammerlocke Energy Plant, where they attempt to use Dynamax particles to send Zamazenta{{sup/8|Sw}}/Zacian{{sup/8|Sh}} into an uncontrollable fury. Zamazenta{{sup/8|Sw}}/Zacian{{sup/8|Sh}} resists, instead attacking Shielbert{{sup/8|Sw}}/Sordward{{sup/8|Sh}}. With the help of Hop and Zacian{{sup/8|Sw}}/Zamazenta{{sup/8|Sh}}, Victor/Gloria successfully calms Zamazenta{{sup/8|Sw}}/Zacian{{sup/8|Sh}}. Zamazenta{{sup/8|Sw}}/Zacian{{sup/8|Sh}} then flees, pursued by Hop, while Zacian{{sup/8|Sw}}/Zamazenta{{sup/8|Sh}} allows Victor/Gloria to catch them by defeating them in battle. Victor/Gloria and their new Pokémon return to find Hop in the Slumbering Weald. There, Hop successfully calms and catches Zamazenta/Zacian, and challenges Victor/Gloria to one final battle.

The player travels to the [[Isle of Armor]] off the coast of Galar and becomes an apprentice in the local [[Master Dojo]], a [[battle facility]] run by former Champion [[Mustard]]. They also develop a new [[rival]]ry with a Gym Leader-in-training and fellow apprentice named [[Klara]]{{sup/8|Sw}}/[[Avery]]{{sup/8|Sh}}. Victor/Gloria enrolls and takes part in a series of trials, first chasing a trio of fast Galarian {{p|Slowpoke}}, searching for Max Mushrooms, and having a final showdown with Klara/Avery. In doing so, Victor/Gloria proves to be Mustard's best student since [[Leon]], as claimed by Mustard himself. As a reward for completing Mustard's trials, they are given a {{p|Kubfu}} as a companion to raise, with the goal of raising it into a great {{p|Urshifu}}. After developing a strong bond with {{p|Kubfu}}, Victor/Gloria heads to the [[Tower of Darkness]] or the [[Tower of Waters]], and completes a rite of passage to ultimately earn the right to evolve Kubfu into Urshifu. After Victor/Gloria become Champion of Galar, they are tasked by Mustard to find [[Max Honey]] for Urshifu to achieve [[Gigantamax]] transformation, and work alongside Hop to find it. Once Urshifu has achieved the ability to Gigantamax, Victor/Gloria have a final showdown with Mustard, who now holds nothing back, and prevails. Mustard congratulates them, and tells them to be ready for [[Galarian Star Tournament|what's to come]].

====The Crown Tundra====
The player travels to the [[Crown Tundra]] in southern Galar, where they meet [[Peony]], an enthusiastic former {{type|Steel}} Gym Leader and Champion as well as the younger brother of [[Rose]], and take his daughter [[Peonia]]'s place in his explorations of solving the legends lurking around the Tundra, since Peonia refuses to do so. As such, Peony assigns Victor/Gloria as the leader of his "expedition team" and tasks them with searching for various [[Legendary Pokémon]] who are known to reside in the Crown Tundra. One of these Pokémon is the King of Bountiful Harvests, a known figurehead in the Crown Tundra and its small town of [[Freezington]], but one whose stories are now only known to a few. Victor/Gloria eventually meets this Pokemon after restoring its statue, who reveals its name to be {{p|Calyrex}}, while it uses [[Peony]] as a means to communicate with them. It reveals that it had lost its power over the years as less and less people believed in it, and it eventually lost the ability to bring bountiful harvests. Calyrex tasks Victor/Gloria with creating the Reins of Unity (which Peony successfully creates) and planting either an Iceroot Carrot or Shaderoot Carrot in hopes of reclaiming its long lost steed, who is later revealed to be {{p|Glastrier}}/{{p|Spectrier}}. They eventually lure the steed into the Crown Shrine, and Calyrex takes its Reins of Unity and bonds with Glastrier or Spectrier once more, achieving its full power again. Now having regained its power, Calyrex allows Victor/Gloria to challenge it to a battle to catch it, and they succeed in doing so. Calyrex thanks the player and looks forward to the journeys they will share.

In the midst of doing so, Victor/Gloria explores the entirety of the Crown Tundra, discovering several ruins that uncover the [[Legendary titans]], including two newly discovered ones in {{p|Regieleki}} and {{p|Regidrago}}. They also discover a tree where Galarian forms of the [[Legendary birds]] come, and chases them all around Galar, one in the Crown Tundra itself, one in the Isle of Armor, and one in Galar's own Wild Area.

In doing all this, Victor/Gloria eventually reports these back to Peony, and eventually they go all the way to the [[Max Lair]] and rejoin Peonia, in which they all partake in [[Dynamax Adventure]]s. In the midst of these, it is revealed a strange Pokémon appeared in the Max Lair and multiple [[Ultra Beast]]s came as well: eventually, Victor/Gloria discover that it was in fact {{p|Necrozma}}, and reports it to Peony, which is then noticed by the scientist running the [[Max Lair]].

After having explored the [[Crown Tundra]], Victor/Gloria receives a call from [[Leon]], who formally invites them to the [[Galarian Star Tournament]] in Wyndon, which involves two-on-two [[Multi Battle]]s, and Victor/Gloria partners with either Hop or Marnie in a series of battles against all of Galar's Gym Leaders and emerges victorious.

==Geography==
[[File:Galar Adventures.png|thumb|250px|Galar in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
The Galar region is an expansive region, including varied environments such as idyllic countrysides, contemporary cities, and snow-covered mountains. Galar comprises a long mainland area as well as an outlying island area, the [[Isle of Armor]], east of the mainland.

The extreme south of the Galarian mainland includes the [[Crown Tundra]]. This area is isolated from the rest of the mainland by a tall mountain range, which extends north along both mainland coasts. However, the Galarian train system allows for travel through these mountains.

Just north of the southern mountains, in the broad valley between its coastal spurs, lie the dense [[Slumbering Weald]] and nearby village of [[Postwick]]. This valley also marks the beginning of a long stretch of plains dotted with hills, ending just north of [[Hammerlocke]], that cover the majority of mainland Galar. These plains are home to two of the three main cities in Galar: Hammerlocke and [[Motostoke]]. Various arid, rocky environments sit at the northern edges of the plains, including the cliffs outside [[Stow-on-Side]] on {{rt|6|Galar}} and the ruins south of [[Circhester]] on {{rt|8|Galar}}. In northwest Galar, surrounding [[Ballonlea]], is the [[Glimwood Tangle]], a thick, gloomy forest. East of this forest lies a broad tundra that includes the city of Circhester and a range of mountains that separates the metropolis of [[Wyndon]] from the rest of Galar.

The Isle of Armor sits in the sea to the east, closest to the mainland town of [[Spikemuth]]. Much of the isle consists of rolling hills and tree-filled valleys that rise from its long beaches. Despite being an island, it is connected to mainland Galar's train system with dedicated [[Flying Taxi]]s.

In the {{pkmn|anime}}, it was revealed Galar is far enough away from Kanto (and presumably Johto, Hoenn, and Sinnoh) to require airplanes for travel between them. Dialogue in [[Pokémon Sword and Shield|the games]] reveals that Galar is within swimming distance of Kalos.

===Demographics===
The Galar region has a total population of 727, including all towns, cities, and other areas. Upon its introduction in [[Generation VIII]], it became the {{tt|fifth|While Sinnoh has a lower population than Galar in Diamond and Pearl, it has a higher population in Platinum.}} largest region by population.

===Notable locations===
Galar has 12 cities and towns. Like in [[Unova]], [[Kalos]], and [[Alola]], Galarian route numbers start from 1, likely due to the geographical isolation of these regions from both the original four regions and each other. There are 10 routes in total, all on the Galarian mainland, divided into four groups:
* {{rt|1|Galar}} & {{rt|2|Galar}} in southern Galar, around [[Wedgehurst]] and surrounding locations;
* {{rt|3|Galar}}, {{rt|4|Galar}}, & {{rt|5|Galar}} in central Galar, forming a loop between [[Motostoke]] and the nearby towns;
* {{rt|6|Galar}}, {{rt|7|Galar}}, {{rt|8|Galar}}, & {{rt|9|Galar}} in central Galar, around [[Hammerlocke]] and the nearby towns; and
* {{rt|10|Galar}} in northern Galar, connecting to the southern gates of [[Wyndon]].
Unlike in most other regions, it is impossible to travel through Galar using just these routes. Instead, a train system connects different cities and towns, and thus connects the different sets of routes.

The Galar region also has a extensive area called the [[Wild Area]] which adjoins several towns and cities in the region.

==Trivia==
* Galar is the only [[core series]] [[region]] to:
** Have all of its [[Gym]] [[Badge]]s named after their respective Gym's [[type]].
** Not have a [[Pokémon academy]].
** Not have a [[Victory Road]].
** Not have an [[Elite Four]].
*** A similar role is fulfilled by the Champion Cup.
** Contain no settlements that end in "City" or "Town" in their English names.
*** In keeping with the sports theme of the region's Gyms, the names of the cities and towns in Galar are derived from sports terminology.
** Introduce no [[Mythical Pokémon]] at the time of its release.
** Contain a single landmass with a map that does not fit on the screen. Previous regions with multiple maps either [[Kanto|contained]] or [[Alola|were]] archipelagos.
** Introduce four [[fossil]]s, the most of any region so far.
*** Despite this, the region does not beat the record for most Fossil Pokémon introduced (five in [[Kanto]]) due to the Galarian Fossil Pokémon being unable to evolve.
*** Also, for the first time, none of the introduced Fossil Pokémon are {{type|Rock}}, are capable of {{pkmn|breeding}}, or have genders.
** Have two [[Gym Leader]]s resign from their posts over the course of a single game's plot.
** Not have an {{pkmn|anime}} [[series]] solely dedicated to [[Ash Ketchum]] fully exploring the region in a journey.
** Not have a status-healing local specialty food item.
*** However, [[curry]] is considered a very popular food in Galar.
** Not have a male [[Pokémon Professor]].
* Galar is the first region to have a {{type|Dark}} Gym.
* Galar has the fewest numbered [[route]]s of any core series region, with a total of ten.
* Galar is tied with [[Unova]] with having the most [[Gym Leader]]s, with a total of 14.
* In the {{pkmn|anime}}, Galar is constantly depicted with a cloudy, gray sky, similar to common weather of the country it's based on, the {{wp|United Kingdom}}.
* The {{wp|Demonym|adjectival form}} of Galar is "Galarian", as seen in the term {{rf|Galarian|Form}}.

'''Hidden Power''' (Japanese: '''めざめるパワー''' ''Awakening Power'') is a damage-dealing {{type|Normal}} [[move]] introduced in [[Generation II]]. Although it appears as a Normal-type move, Hidden Power's actual type varies. It was [[TM10]] from Generation II to [[Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon]]. In {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}} and [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]], it is the [[signature move]] of {{p|Unown}}.

==Effect==
{{main|Hidden Power (move)/Calculation}}
===Generations II and III===
Hidden Power inflicts damage using a [[type]] and [[power]] determined by the user's {{IV}}s. The power varies between 31 and 70 in Generation II, and varies between 30 and 70 in Generations III to V. It can be any type that exists in [[Generation II]] other than {{t|Normal}} and {{t|???}}.

Hidden Power receives a [[same-type attack bonus]]. For instance, a {{type|Bug}} Pokémon will receive same-type attack bonus when using a Bug-type Hidden Power.

Regardless of Hidden Power's actual type and [[damage category]], Hidden Power can be countered by {{m|Counter}} but not by {{m|Mirror Coat}}. For other purposes, the damage category of Hidden Power matches its type.

Hidden Power cannot thaw a {{status|frozen}} target, even if its actual type is {{t|Fire}}.

===Generation IV===
Hidden Power is a [[special move]] regardless of its actual type, so it can now be countered by {{m|Mirror Coat}} but not by {{m|Counter}}.

{{type|Fire}} Hidden Power can now thaw a {{status|frozen}} target.

Hidden Power is affected by {{a|Normalize}}.

===Generation V===
Hidden Power is no longer affected by {{a|Normalize}}.

===Generations VI and VII===
Hidden Power's base power is now always 60. The method for determining the type of Hidden Power is the same as Generations III to V, so a {{type|Fairy}} Hidden Power is not possible.

Due to never being a Normal-type move, Hidden Power is unaffected by {{a|Pixilate}}, {{a|Refrigerate}}, {{a|Aerilate}}, and {{m|Ion Deluge}}. If the user is under the effect of {{m|Electrify}}, Hidden Power's type will become {{t|Electric}}, regardless of the user's IVs.

Hidden Power is always treated as {{type|Normal}} for [[Z-Move]] mechanics, and can be upgraded to {{m|Breakneck Blitz}} by a [[Normalium Z]].

===Generation VIII===
In {{g|Sword and Shield}}, Hidden Power cannot be selected in a battle. In {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}}, it can be selected and functions as it did in previous generations.

In {{g|Legends: Arceus}}, Hidden Power's base power is now 50. Hidden Power now changes its own type to be super effective against the opposing Pokémon.

==In other games==
===[[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series]]===
In [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team|Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team]], Hidden Power is a move with 12 PP and 88% accuracy. The user attacks enemy in front, cutting corners. The type and base power of Hidden Power is randomly calculated whenever a Pokémon enters a dungeon, and does not change between floors. The type is selected among each of the 17 types with roughly equal probability (the game chooses from the 18 types, including typeless, choosing again if typeless is chosen; if this is done 100 times consecutively, Hidden Power will be of the {{type|Fire}}). The base power of the move is chosen among the following values with equal probability: 2, 4, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 13, 15, and 17. On description menu, Hidden Power is shown as a typeless move.

In [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness|Explorers of Time, Darkness]] and [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky|Sky]], the move's base power range is now 2-15.

===[[Pokémon Rumble series]]===
Hidden Power is randomly assigned any of the 17 types whenever a Toy Pokémon has it as one of its moves. The type does not change for as long as the Pokémon keeps the move.

===[[Pokémon GO]]===
In Pokémon GO, Hidden Power is a Fast Attack that has been available since February 16, 2017. While Hidden Power is a {{type|Normal}} move in the game data, its actual type varies between individual Pokémon and is visible on the status screen of that Pokémon. Like in the core series, Hidden Power cannot be Normal- or {{type|Fairy}}; however, Hidden Power's type is not dependent on {{IV}}s and is instead randomly determined. If two players catch the same instance of a [[wild Pokémon]] that knows Hidden Power, the resulting Hidden Power type may still differ between the two players. If a Pokémon [[evolution|evolves]], its Hidden Power type will also be randomly re-rolled. Hidden Power's type cannot be changed using a [[Fast TM]] or [[Elite Fast TM]]. If the player uses an Elite Fast TM on a Pokémon that can learn Hidden Power, its Hidden Power type will be displayed on the move selection screen.

If the player battles against a Pokémon that knows Hidden Power in a [[Raid Battle]] or [[Team GO Rocket]] Battle, the Hidden Power type will always be {{t|Fighting}}. However, its Hidden Power type will be randomly re-rolled if the player ends up capturing that same Pokémon.

==Trivia==
* Despite the only move Unown can learn being Hidden Power—learning it at level 1—it could not learn it via [[TM]] until [[Generation VI]]. However, this makes no functional difference other than when searching by TM/HM compatibility, since Unown will always already know Hidden Power and thus be unable to learn it via TM.
* Prior to [[Generation IV]], Hidden Power was one of the only two moves (along with {{m|Weather Ball}}) which could, depending on the Pokémon, be either [[physical move|physical]] or [[special move|special]], due to the damage category being determined by the type.
** Despite this, due to Hidden Power's classification as a {{t|Normal}} move, prior to Generation IV it was always affected by {{m|Counter}} and never by {{m|Mirror Coat}}, regardless of the type Hidden Power became when used.
* In [[Generation II]], due to [[gender]] being determined by IVs, Hidden Power of a female Pokémon of {{cat|Pokémon with a gender ratio of seven males to one female|species with a seven male to one female ratio}} can only be a [[physical move|physical]] type.
* In [[Generation II]], due to the spread of [[individual values]] required for Shininess, [[Shiny Pokémon]] could only use a {{t|Grass}}- or {{type|Dragon}} Hidden Power with power 49 or 69.
* Due to the [[List of glitches (Generation III)#Roaming Pokémon IV bug|Roaming Pokémon IV bug]], a [[roaming Pokémon]] caught in [[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire Versions|Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire]], [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions|FireRed, or LeafGreen]] will always have a Hidden Power type of Fighting, and a power of 30 or 31.
* It is impossible for Pokémon in the {{egg3|Undiscovered}} that are caught or obtained as a gift in [[Pokémon X and Y]] to have a {{type|Fighting}} Hidden Power. In {{pkmn|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}} and the [[Generation VII]] games, this is true only for [[Legendary Pokémon]], [[Mythical Pokémon]], and [[Ultra Beast]]s in the Undiscovered Egg Group. This is because these Pokémon are guaranteed to have at least three IVs of 31, whereas a Fighting-type Hidden Power requires at least four IVs that are even numbers.
* Despite Hidden Power not being able to be used in battle in {{pkmn|Sword and Shield}}, the method of determining its type is still present. This can be seen by entering a battle with a Pokémon that knows it and then entering the move selection, where Hidden Power's [[type effectiveness]] will be displayed if the opposing Pokémon has been seen in the [[Pokédex]].
* [[Pokémon Masters EX]] is the only game in which Hidden Power can only have one type, Psychic.

Celadonkey: /* Hisuian starters section on the page */

==Normal Starters==
Should Pikachu be considered a 'normal' starter? I mean, it isn't part of the Fire/Water/Grass triangle, and it can also be captured in the wild in many of the other games, something that no other starters have right now. It's also the starter only in one game (although, so have Colosseum Starters, XD Starter, and Ranger Starter). --[[User:PikamasterADV|PikamasterADV]] 12:01, 23 September 2006 (UTC)
:Well, why not? The fact it is not part of the triangle does not disqualify him as a starter Pokémon. If we had a Dark/Fighting/Psych triangle, wouldn't still they be starters? Also, the Fire/Grass/Water triangle is already broken is some cases, like the 4th generation starters having second types after they evolve. In any case, he is undoubtedly a starter in the ranks of Squirtle and Charmander. He is given out by a professor (and our very original professor Oak in his case), is given in one of the "main" games of the series, and is a basic Pokémon. --[[User:Andrelvis|Andrelvis]] 15:53, 18 December 2006 (UTC)
::Well, don't forget that also, pretty much every starter gets a second type through evolution. Only ones who don't are Squirtle, Chikorita, Cyndaquil, Totodile, and Treecko. Hell, Bulbasaur has two types in its basic form.
::And I think the division's more on the games that are defined as the main RPG series vs the side games. After all, Pichu makes Pikachu a stage 1 now, in all technicalities. But, of course, Yellow is just as much a main game as Red, Blue, and Green are, unlike Colosseum and XD compared to Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald, even though all of them are RPGs. [[User:TTEchidna|Tom Temprotran]] 01:02, 19 December 2006 (UTC)
:::Exactly. And that's why we have the "special starters" section. They are starters, but not as much so as the "main game" ones. --[[User:Andrelvis|Andrelvis]] 17:37, 19 December 2006 (UTC)
::::But they're not special per se. They're just... not mainstream. - [[User:Zhen Lin|振霖]][[User talk:Zhen Lin|T]] 17:56, 19 December 2006 (UTC)
:::::A little off-topic, but I heard a rumor that Game Freak was considering a Fighting/Psychic/Dark trio for the Gen IV starters, but they decided to switch back to the usual Grass/Fire/Water trio. [[User:Diachronos|Diachronos]] 16:15, 8 October 2008 (UTC)

== To add to Trivia ==

I noticed this. Of the Grass starters up to and including Generation IV, all of the final forms have eight-letter English names. Venusaur, Meganium, Sceptile, and Torterra.
:Hmmm. Well, it's interesting, but the trivia section's already huge! '''[[User:TTEchidna|''TTE'']][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]][[User:TTEchidna/GSDS|GSDS!]]''' 09:22, 5 January 2008 (UTC)

== To Remove from Trivia ==
"Usually upon evolution, the starter Pokémon gain another type. However, Blastoise, the three Johto starters' final forms (Meganium, Typhlosion, and Feraligatr), and Sceptile do not have a second type." This quote is not very accurate. The trivia itself lists 5 out of the 12 final evolutions of the main series' starters that don't gain a new type (technically it should be 6 of 13 because of [[Pikachu]]; which while it can't evolve in Yellow still does in every other version). 5 out of 12 is about 42%; which means that "usually" is used to define an occurance rate barely over 50% and is like saying Pokemon split equally into both [[gender|genders]] are "usually" one over the other. Additionally, only 6 of the 13 (about 46%) main series staters actually gain a new type out of evolution, as [[Bulbasaur]] starts with the {{type|Poison}}. I'm not sure if complete removal of this trivia is called for, but it definitely needs to be reworded. --[[User:ZellMurasame|ZellMurasame]] 05:15, 12 January 2008 (UTC)
:That's an overinspective technicality... but sure, it should be reworded if that's statistically the case. Just make sure not to link species with square brackets, man. The {{template|p}} template is there for use, especially with the starters and their families... all of which have appeared owned by a main anime character... '''[[User:TTEchidna|''TTE'']][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]][[User:TTEchidna/GSDS|GSDS!]]''' 08:57, 15 January 2008 (UTC)

==Pikachu==

Just saying buy uh.. You guys put every Pokemon's evolutions in the normal games. But not Pikachu's in Pokemon Yellow?
:Pikachu can't evolve in Yellow. '''[[User:TTEchidna|''TTE'']][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]][[User:TTEchidna/GSDS|GSDS!]]''' 04:16, 7 January 2008 (UTC)

== Colosseum elemental starters ==

Even though you can get the remaining two at the end of the game, let's not forget that Bayleef, Quilava, and Croconaw are somewhat "starter" Pokémon in Pokémon Colosseum, since you need to snag one of them at the beginning of the adventure. Maybe they're like Eevee's evolutionary stones or shards in that their availability isn't immediate... However, one of the things that make them non-traditional starters is that the game doesn't explicitly ask you "you want this Pokémon, or this one, or this one?". --[[User:Johans|Johans]] 03:07, 25 February 2008 (UTC)

You just have to beat Rosso, Verde, or Bluno. You don't have to snag their Shadow Pokémon. [[User:Gligar|Gli]][[User talk:Gligar|gar]] ''I am not removing this lengthy addition to my signature until all moves have been updated to Platinum standard.'' 00:11, 27 September 2008 (UTC)

== Obediance ==

I seem to recall that in the main series, a Starter Pokémon will always obey even if its level surpasses the mark of a required Gym Badge. Has anyone else experienced this? If so, should it be added to the article somewhere? ~[[User:SaturnYoshi|'''$aturn''']][[User:SaturnYoshi|'''¥oshi''']] [[User talk:SaturnYoshi|THE VOICES]] 19:37, 17 June 2008 (UTC)

All Pokémon caught by the trainer will, they wont obey if they have been received in a trade.[[User:David aipom|Davidaipom]] 19:39, 17 June 2008 (UTC)

:The page on [[Badge]]s does not make that distinction. ~[[User:SaturnYoshi|'''$aturn''']][[User:SaturnYoshi|'''¥oshi''']] [[User talk:SaturnYoshi|THE VOICES]] 19:48, 17 June 2008 (UTC)
::well that's how it works --lord mada 19:50, 17 June 2008 (UTC)

:::So what you're saying is that if a player was able to start a new game and somehow "catch" a Level 70 Pokémon right off the bat, it will obey? ~[[User:SaturnYoshi|'''$aturn''']][[User:SaturnYoshi|'''¥oshi''']] [[User talk:SaturnYoshi|THE VOICES]] 19:54, 17 June 2008 (UTC)
::::yeah I'm pretty sure --lord mada 19:55, 17 June 2008 (UTC)

:::::Interesting... Well then, disregard. ~[[User:SaturnYoshi|'''$aturn''']][[User:SaturnYoshi|'''¥oshi''']] [[User talk:SaturnYoshi|THE VOICES]] 19:57, 17 June 2008 (UTC)
::::::Yes but dont forget that's very unlikely in the main series. [[User:Ritchie|Ritchie]]
:::::::Start a new game, trade away a random caught Pokémon, get it back after a while at level 70 and it likely will obey. '''[[User:TTEchidna|''TTE'']][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]]''' 18:54, 4 October 2008 (UTC)
:::::::Unlikely, but possible. Especially with an Action Replay. ~[[User:SaturnYoshi|'''$aturn''']][[User:SaturnYoshi|'''¥oshi''']] [[User talk:SaturnYoshi|THE VOICES]] 17:53, 26 August 2008 (UTC)

== Trivia overload? ==

Don't get me wrong, I always love a lot of additions to the trivia section, but even now it seems like it's way too much. We might want to cut back on some more esoteric things, and group the move pattern observations together.

==Gen IV type-trumping==
I just noticed something about the Sinnoh starters' final forms. Each of them gains a a type advantage over the starter it is weak to in some way:
*Torterra gains the Ground-type, which is super-effective against Infernape.
*Infernape gains the Fighting-type, which is super-effective against Empoleon's Steel-type.
*Empoleon gains the Steel-type, which gives it a resistance to Torterra's Grass-type (although it does give a weakness to Torterra's Ground-type (maybe for balance issues); however, being a Water-type, Empoleon can learn Ice-type attacks to deal super-effective damage against both of Torterra's types).
[[User:Diachronos|Diachronos]] 16:26, 8 October 2008 (UTC)
:However, the steel type also renders Empoleon without a resistance to either of Infernape's types, thus actually making it WEAK to Infernape (at least to it's fighting type, and the steel offbalances the water resistance to fire). [[User:Kumori Satosuke|Satosuke]] 11:40, 9 October 2008 (UTC)
::Including Empoleon's ability to learn Ice moves, all the starters have moves which are super effective against the other two starters.

==Gary's Starter==
Is the statement "it caused many to hearken back to Pokémon Yellow, where the player starts with Pikachu, like Ash, and the rival starts with Eevee" the wrong way round because Pokemon Yellow was based on the anime and because Gary's true starter had not been revealed at the time, the makers made Eevee his starter, as the game required him to have a confirmed one? Therefore rather than people thinking this because that was his starter in Yellow, is it not much more likely that this was his starter in Yellow because people thought it was starter already? - ''unsigned comment from {{u|Gastlys mama}} ([[User talk:Gastlys mama|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Gastlys mama|contribs]]) ''

== The mystical, amazing disappearing starter Pokemon! ==

I could have sworn I saw this discussed somewhere before, but for the life of me I can't find it now. Oh well.

Anyway, at some point in HGSS (not sure exactly when) the third starter Pokemon which wasn't chosen by the PC or the rival mysteriously vanishes from its place in Elm's lab. (The game text when the... whatever that machine is... is examined is something along the lines of, "Hey! The third Pokeball is gone! Was it given to someone?" though I can't be bothered to switch games in my DS to check for sure.) I figure that this is notable enough to go into the article, and I'd put it in there myself, but I quite honestly don't know if its disappearance is ever explained, and I figure that if it ''were'' explained that should go in the article too.

== Trivia ==

Since I want no part in the edit war, I'm going to explain the trivia piece here:

<code>
As of [[Generation IV]], every '''starter-type''' in the main series (with the exception of {{p|Pikachu}}) has have one Pokémon in its final-stage of evolution to have a double weakness; {{p|Charizard}} is doubly weak to {{type|Rock}}, {{p|Swampert}} is doubly weak to {{type|Grass}} and {{p|Torterra}} is doubly weak to {{type|Ice}}.</code>

It doesn't say by generation. It says by starter ''type''. That means Fire, Water, and Grass.
Charizard, Torterra, and Swampert are members of these respective types and have double weaknesses. The trivia, meaning-wise, is fine. (Unless one were to count Bulbasaur's Poison typing...)

So yeah, if you're going to remove it, remove it for a different reason plz and thanks.--[[User:Cold|Cold]] ([[User talk:Cold|talk]]) 23:33, 4 October 2010 (UTC)

== Should Mystery Dungeon initial Pokémon be considered starters? ==

I've looked through Mystery Dungeon: Blue's manual, Bulbapedia's pages on all three sets of games, and the official Explorers of Sky webpage and have seen no mention of the initial Pokémon from MD as "starters", just "Hero Pokémon" (for the player) and "Partner Pokémon" (for the partner). They seem to lack the basic criteria for being starters (the initial Pokémon owned by a ''trainer''), even more so than the Ranger's [[Partner Pokémon]] which were already deemed not to be starters. Now I'll admit I never even played through Blue fully (and never played the others), so there may be something in-game, but I think we should separate them into their own ''Hero and Partner Pokémon'' page or something, as they don't seem to belong here.

The article says that the rival's {{p|Eevee}} evolves into {{p|Jolteon}}, {{p|Flareon}} or {{p|Vaporeon}} depending on the outcomes of battles between the player and the rival.

I believe that if the player loses the first battle in Pallet Town, the {{p|Eevee}} will evolve into a {{p|Vaporeon}}, but this should probably be double-checked.

== New Trivia (yeah, I know it's a little big already) ==

(First time, forgive me if I screw this up horribly)

Since Pikachu knows Thundershock, Yellow is the only main series game in which the player's starter pokemon begins play with a STAB move. Incidentally, the Rival's starter also has a STAB move, as Eevee knows tackle and is of the normal-type.

There's probably a better way of wording this. but I thought it was neat.

== Definition of starter Pokémon ==

I've always thought of starter Pokémon as meaning the sets of three Pokémon that are given by the professor, not merely a Trainer's first Pokémon. I don't mind including Pikachu and Eevee, ''that'' much (although I'm still uncertain about them), adding Marill and Ralts, and calling things like [[Growlie]] "starter Pokémon" just seems wrong to me. If people really want to list Trainer's first Pokémon, then I think that page should be at {{redlink|first Pokémon}}; however, IMO starter Pokémon should refer only to Bulbasaur, Charmander, Bulbasaur, Chikorita, Cyndaquil, Totodile, Treecko, Torchic, Mudkip, Turtwig, Chimchar, Piplup, Snivy, Tepig, Oshawott, and maybe Pikachu and Eevee if you really want. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 08:42, 28 November 2012 (UTC)

[[User:Duke R|'''|) u |( e''']] [[User talk:Duke R|'''®''']] 10:50, 30 November 2012 (UTC)
:::Splitting like that completely ignores the point. The idea is that the Pokémon I listed are a group of Pokémon, while this page just lists the first Pokémon of a bunch of Trainers. If we want to redefine starter Pokémon as "the first Pokémon a Trainer owns" rather than the traditional "the three Pokémon that Trainers can choose from to start their journey" and give the traditional grouping their own name, then while I wouldn't prefer it, it would be better than what we have now. What I'm saying is that we have a distinct group of Pokémon that the fandom have always called "starter Pokémon", and this page seems to have merged that group with everyone's first Pokémon. So regardless of what you want to call "starter Pokémon", the traditional starter Pokémon need a separate page from people's first Pokémon. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 06:14, 3 December 2012 (UTC)
::::For what it's worth, I would define the starter pokemon as the sets of three plus Pikachu and Eevee. We categorize pokemon beyond their obvious classification by their secondary characteristics. Legendary Pokemon, other than those explicitly called out as such, are typically unique pokemon within the games that may or may not have a defining role in the story- even beginning trainers have a pretty good idea what you're talking about when you say "legendary". Pseudo-Legendaries bear some explanation, but fall within obviously recognizable parameters- 600 base stats, typically a double weakness to something, general badassedness, etc. The "starters" of the main series of games are typically in line in terms of stats and evolutions without significant variation- It would not surprise me if next generation we had to call out Charizard and Typhlosion as the exceptions to the "Fire/Fighting Rule". Spinoff series games should at best get their own page and at worst be merely mentioned on their own page. "Games" that are effectively pokedexes shouldn't be listed at all outside the article affirming their existence, as there is no meaningful way to interact with them. Eevee and Pikachu get to be the exceptions because they ''are'' the exceptions- the only main series game not to play by their own rules. You might not even list Eevee, as it's not technically an option for the trainer- It's not a "starter" pokemon, it's a "rival" pokemon.[[User:TheHateHat|TheHateHat]] ([[User talk:TheHateHat|talk]]) 04:36, 5 December 2012 (UTC)

However, it does not have to be their first TCG set, and their first TCG set is not necessarily a "starter set". A "starter Pokémon" is a Pokémon given to Trainers when they begin their journey to get them started. Therefore, instances like Wally's Ralts are not starter Pokémon; it is his first Pokémon, and if people want that to have a page that's fine, but they shouldn't be here. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 15:33, 3 June 2013 (UTC)

== Eevee in Yellow ==

It seems strange to me that Eevee should be included as a starter Pokemon in Yellow on the bit at the bottom of pages about specific starter Pokemon. (Sorry don't know the correct technical term.) The player cannot start with Eevee. If the starter Pokemon of NPCs qualify for this definition of starter Pokemon then surely every known starter Pokemon for NPCs should be added to both of these sections in order to be logically consistent? If it is just because Blue is the rival of this game that his starter is notable why aren't the starters of Wally and Ethan/Lyra as NPCs? I understand their inclusion in the article but I don't understand how Blue's Eevee is any more notable than the starters of those two trainers, particularly not to the degree that it gets a mention at the bottom of the page when the others don't.

== Kanto Starters for X and Y ==

"Soon afterwards, Professor Sycamore will give the player a choice between one of the classic Kanto starter Pokémon, whom, upon reaching their final stages, will have access to Mega Evolved forms, given the prequisite Mega Stone."

This is more speculation than factual. We do not meet Professor Sycamore until Lumoise City. This was stated in the preview clips when he was released as well as stated on the main web site. Lumoise City is after the first Gym so the player has a good bit of play time before they ever meet Professor Sycamore in Lumoise. We also have not been given any information as to whether or not the Kanto Starters are Post Game hand outs like all other Non-Regional Starters are like in Pokemon Emerald and forward. Should probably wait for more information before saying we get two starters in the game since this has the makings of being post-game hand outs like they always end up.

First of all, I don't believe they revealed post-game starters before during pre-release. And second, I believe in the Pokémon Direct, the man asked Masuda if there was going to be anything different about this game. Masuda then answered by talking about Sycamore giving out one of the Kanto starters. If it was post-game, that wouldn't be different from previous games at all.

SnorlaxMonster suggested this {{DL|Talk:Starter Pokémon|Definition of starter Pokémon|in an above section}}, but nothing came of it, so I'm slapping on the split template so that hopefully, even if no consensus comes of discussion, it'll go to the staff on [http://bmgf.bulbagarden.net/f195/candidates-merging-moving-mainspacing-splitting-discussion-thread-114138/ the forum thread]. I propose that the traditional Grass/Fire/Water trios comprise an article, and all other Pokémon that Trainers in various media start with comprise another. I suggest ''Starter Pokémon'' and ''First Pokémon'', respectively, but any number of other names are also possible. The main thing is that the Grass/Fire/Water trios differ significantly from starting Pokémon in side games, the anime, the manga, etc. The two sets need to be treated separately.

Whether to include the Pikachu and Eevee from Yellow is a bone of contention that I'd prefer not to overshadow this, but since it's relevant, I will give my opinion on it. Under no circumstances should Eevee be included, because it's the rival's, not the players. (Same conditions as Marill and Ralts.) Pikachu's more of a gray area, but it doesn't fill the same role statistically or in availability in any other game, so I feel it also doesn't belong with the Grass/Fire/Water trios despite being a starting Pokémon for the player in the main series.[[User:Pumpkinking0192|Pumpkinking0192]] ([[User talk:Pumpkinking0192|talk]]) 06:05, 29 December 2013 (UTC)
:The only issue I have with this is that there is still the issue of Orre and Pokétopia, though it sounds like under the proposal it would be a First Pokémon over a Starter Pokémon. My two cents is that there is a bit of gray area currently, though they are called "the big three" for Japanese players. --[[User:Super goku|Super goku]] ([[User talk:Super goku|talk]]) 07:32, 29 December 2013 (UTC)
::If a "starter Pokemon" is something you get to choose, then none of Orre, Poketopia, or Yellow will count. Your "first Pokemon" is just something you're saddled with, then. I don't have a big problem with that sort of definition. As things stand, though, Poketopia's inclusion seems pretty dumb, to me. I like Colo and XD counting, because those actually have stories (like the main games) besides connecting with main games; but it doesn't seem that PBR has a story. It just seems like a glorified Pokemon Stadium. I'm not a fan of it "counting", period, whether for "starters" (of whatever definition) or "firsts" (I think).

::P.S.: Oh, one can argue, though, that with XD's Eevee, you get your "choice" when you choose who to evolve Eevee into. And that at least includes Water and Fire (and then some), if not Grass. [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 15:49, 29 December 2013 (UTC)
:::I feel as though "starter Pokémon" should refer only to the generation Grass-Fire-Water trios. I can accept Pikachu and Eevee under some interpretations, but I really don't think they count. "Starter Pokémon" is an official term, the problem is that it's difficult to find it actually defined (but I don't believe I've ever seen it used to describe Pikachu or Eevee); perhaps if somewhere the "Kanto starter Pokémon" is used to refer to Bulbasaur, Charmander, Squirtle, that could count as excluding Pikachu and Eevee from being starters. Regardless, I think the generational elemental trios clearly share commonalities that Eevee and Pikachu do not. I don't even know if "first Pokémon" deserves a page, but I certainly think that info does not belong here. (Also, thanks for reviving my suggestion. I have a bunch that I've put forward in many places that even I've forgotten about, so it's always nice to see someone else take interest.) --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 16:17, 29 December 2013 (UTC)
::::While I feel like "Starter Pokémon" usually refers to the generation Grass-Fire-Water trios, I don't feel like special cases like Pikachu should be excluded/ignored (especially since Pokémon Yellow was a main series game). I don't agree with the rival's Pokémon being listed though, because they're never given to the player and thus technically not Starter Pokémon for us. It really depends how we're defining starter Pokémon, because if we're describing them as "First Pokémon, distributed or given without having to catch them, usually by a Professor" then Pikachu fits in that definition. Even if we decide to remove Pikachu and co. from the page, I'd at least like to see Pikachu listed somewhere.

::I find splitting Starter Pokémon from First Pokémon redundant. Not only do they have similar meanings, your starters are your first Pokémon, which is why they are called starters in the first place. Pikachu was your starter in Yellow despite not being a Fire, Water, or Grass type Pokémon. I don't get why we'd need to split the official and unofficial starters.

== Kalos starters gender ratio ==

Okay so I have played through both x and y a few diferent times here and only ONCE has there been a male fennekin. My fist play through of Y I choose fennekin and she was female. Shaunas Chespin was also female. Further more I have started quite a few different play through in X due to always losing my nuzlocks and first go my forkie was female and shaunas fennekin was also female. second time through my froakie was male but still shauna fennekin was female. Ive also gotten 3 resets in a row female chespin.
I dont know about froakie and chespin but Im PRETTY POSITIVE fennekins line is 75% female. Ive only seen 1 male fennekin in a lets play on youtube as well out of about 5 lets plays Ive watched.
Im also fairly certain that frokie's line is 50/50 on gender and maybe chespins.
I dont belive anyone can go through the code as of yet but Id like some proof at its still 75% the starter is male. I believe the reason they did that in gen 2 was so starters were more rare if you didnt know about ditto but that trend has kinda gotten out dated with everyone knowing of ditto and such.
So yeah I believe the gender ratio should be unknown of the kalos starters until we can get official proof of it.
I will say I have not done any breeding of the starters yet but think Ill start filling up a box for each one and post my results.

--[[User:Furry|Furry]] ([[User talk:Furry|talk]]) 02:22, 18 June 2014 (UTC)

: All of the starters have always had the same gender ratio, so not only is it probably safe to assume that the Kalos starters are the same but also people have the ability to see the coding of the games and as such we come up with the gender ratios for the Pokemon.

Also, almost all of the starters I have are male.--[[User:Ditto51|Ditto51/Tom]] ([[User_Talk:Ditto51|My Talk Page]]) 17:32, 18 June 2014 (UTC)

== Kalos secondary triangle ==

The Kalos starters have, in their final forms, two type triangles: Grass/Fire/Water and Fighting/Psychic/Dark. This is notable. Yet it [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Starter_Pok%C3%A9mon&curid=1162&diff=2134311&oldid=2134310 was removed].

But, you say: Dark is ''immune'' to Psychic rather than just being resistant. Well...so? Practically speaking, that is a trivial difference. If I put {{p|Braixen}} in against {{p|Chesnaught}}, Braixen has little to fear from Chesnaught's STAB moves whereas Chesnaught must fear any of Braixen's STAB moves. By the same token, if I put {{p|Greninja}} in against Braixen, Greninja has little to fear from Braixen's STAB moves whereas Braixen must fear any of Greninja's STAB moves. It's basically irrelevant that Greninja has ''even less'' to fear from Braixen than Braixen/Chesnaught do from Chesnaught/Greninja. The essential fact remains: by their typings (in their final forms), each of the starters has the advantage, ''both offensivley and defensively'', against another one of the starters in a triangular fashion.

It is irrelevant that Dark is immune to Psychic. The essential fact of "This Pokemon can do well against that one but not against the other one" is exactly the same. Both triangles are valid and this second one deserves noting. [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 14:38, 20 June 2014 (UTC)

: I think the inital trivia note on it before it was changed is valid
::* The Kalos starter Pokémon's secondary types ({{t|Fighting}}, {{t|Psychic}}, and {{t|Dark}}) almost form another type-advantage triangle, being broken by the fact that the Dark type is immune to the Psychic type.
: Someone changed it which ultimately caused it to become confusing and end up being removed as it was fine for however long it was on there until it was removed (after rewording).--[[User:Ditto51|Ditto51/Tom]] ([[User_Talk:Ditto51|My Talk Page]]) 16:07, 22 June 2014 (UTC)

:::That I wouldn't mind since it's not stating that the Dark/Psychic/Fighting creates a triangle that is exactly like the Grass/Fire/Water cycle.

:::::The triangle is where the types are super effective to one type and resists the other.

Trivia Fact: May (Anime)

'''The only Kanto starter that May did not catch or obtain is Charmander.''' This is true because she already has Blaziken, a Fire starter native to Hoenn.

Forget what I said about May's Blaziken. What I meant to say why the fact is true is because May has a Bulbasaur (now a Venusaur) and a Squirtle (now a Wartortle), but not Charmander.

[[User:Chrisbulb|Christian]] ([[User talk:Chrisbulb|talk]]) 23:42, 12 May 2016 (UTC)

== Other in-game starters ==

Is that section really necessary? Obviously not every Pokémon Trainer starts out with the same starter Pokémon - Falkner uses his dad's Pokémon, not the starters, and dozens of random NPCs could be running around with Pokémon from the Professors (even if not these specific species), yet the few who mention their first Pokémon say they got them from their parents or something of the sort. For instance, [[Sinnoh Route 204|Youngster Tyler's Magikarp and Starly]] are from his dad if memory serves. Do we ''need'' a section showing all of the known NPC starters? I definitely think only the players' starters belong on this page, except MAYBE Eevee since it was at least ''intended'' for the player; things like Wally's Ralts and Ethan's/Lyra's Marill don't belong here in my opinion.

== Raichu ==

== To Add To Trivia: Alola Starters All Having Immunities ==

I thought of a interesting suggestion to add to the trivia section.

'''All three of the fully evolved Alola starters all have immunities.'''

Decidueye is part Ghost-type making it immune to Normal and Fighting-type moves. Incineroar is part Dark-type making it immune to Psychic-type moves. Primarina is part Fairy-type making it immune to Dragon-type moves.

I feel this is worthy because for the previous generations, it's either one, two or none of the starters that have immunities.

'''Gen 1:''' Charizard (It's part Flying-type making it immune to Ground. When it Mega Evolves into Mega Charizard X, however, it loses that immunity.)

'''Gen 2:''' None

'''Gen 3:''' Swampert (It's part Ground-type making it immune to Electric). When Sceptile Mega Evolves into Mega Sceptile, however, it becomes immune to Electric-type moves because of its ability Lightning Rod.

'''Gen 4:''' Torterra (It's part Ground-type making it immune to Electric) and Empoleon (It's part Steel-type making it immune to Poison).

'''Gen 5:''' None

'''Gen 6:''' Greninja (It's part Dark-type making it immune to Psychic).

"Two of the three Unova starter Pokémon, Snivy and Tepig, share the position of the starter Pokémon with the shortest name." I guess this trivia was written before LGPE came out because Eevee has five letters in its name too. Howewer, with this added, I don't think trivia is very notable since there's no connection between Eevee and Snivy&Tepig. Three pokemon from two different regions aren't that notable as two from the same one, I mean. So, should it be deleted? [[User:Itan|Itan]] ([[User talk:Itan|talk]]) 12:23, 2 September 2020 (UTC)

[[File:25th Anniversary key art.png|thumb|250px|Artwork featuring the player's starter Pokémon from [[Generation]]s {{Gen|I}} through {{Gen|VIII}}]]
At the beginning of their quest, {{pkmn|Trainer}}s are given a '''starter Pokémon''' or '''first partner Pokémon''' (Japanese: '''はじめてのポケモン''' ''Beginning Pokémon'' or '''{{tt|最初|さいしょ}}のポケモン''' ''first Pokémon''; known as '''{{tt|御三家|ごさんけ}}''' ''the big three'' among Japanese fans). This {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} will be used to battle the first [[wild Pokémon]] that the {{pkmn|Trainer}} encounters.

Once another Pokémon is {{pkmn2|caught}}, the starter Pokémon may be retired, but it is often with this Pokémon that Trainers learn [[friendship]] and trust. As such, even advanced Trainers may still use their starter Pokémon, and they will often be the most powerful Pokémon on their respective teams.

In the [[core series]] games, it is said that the starter Pokémon are extremely rare in the wild, giving the {{player}} a reason why the Pokémon not chosen can't be found in the wild in most of the games.

==In the games==
In the core series {{pkmn|games}} ([[Pokémon Yellow Version|with two]] [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!|exceptions]]), the player can choose a {{t|Fire}}-, {{t|Water}}-, or {{type|Grass}} starter Pokémon at [[level]] 5.

The player's {{ga|Blue|rival}} will then pick the type-advantageous starter Pokémon, and the remaining Pokémon will sit in its {{i|Poké Ball}} on Oak's desk for the rest of the game.

In FireRed and LeafGreen, the choice of starter Pokémon also determines which of the [[Legendary beasts]] will roam the Kanto region after defeating [[Team Rocket]] in the [[Sevii Islands]]—if the player chooses Bulbasaur, {{p|Entei}} will appear, {{p|Suicune}} will appear to those who chose Charmander, and {{p|Raikou}} will appear to those that went with Squirtle.

Professor Oak offers one of this trio of Pokémon to the player in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} after the player has defeated {{ga|Red}}, making reference to the fact that he gives them out as starter Pokémon in Kanto-based games, suggesting the player will be able to make it to [[Viridian City|the next town]] with one of these Pokémon by their side.

[[Professor Sycamore]] will let the player choose one of these three Pokémon after meeting him in person and beating his team of Kanto starters in {{pkmn|battle}}. After making their choice, Professor Sycamore will give the player a [[Mega Stone]] corresponding to the chosen starter's final evolution; [[Venusaurite]] for {{p|Bulbasaur}}, [[Charizardite X]]{{sup/6|X}}/[[Charizardite Y]]{{sup/6|Y}} for {{p|Charmander}}, and [[Blastoisinite]] for {{p|Squirtle}}. The middle stages of the starters can be found in the [[Friend Safari]].

In {{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}}, the Kanto starters can be caught in the wild via {{DL|QR Scanner|Island Scan}} on [[Melemele Island]].

In {{g|Sword and Shield}}, the player receives a Charmander as a gift from [[Leon]] in [[Postwick]] after surpassing him as Champion, which will be capable of [[Gigantamax|Gigantamaxing]] when fully evolved.

In [[The Isle of Armor]], [[Honey (Galar)|Honey]] will let the player choose either Bulbasaur or Squirtle after completing the Master Dojo's first trial. Once fully evolved, these Pokémon will be capable of [[Gigantamax|Gigantamaxing]]. Honey will keep the Pokémon not chosen by the player, and use it on her team.

In [[The Crown Tundra]], Ivysaur, Charmeleon, and Wartortle can be found in Dynamax Adventures.

In {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}}, the Kanto starters can be caught in the [[Grand Underground]] after obtaining the [[National Pokédex]].

In {{game|Yellow}}, due to being based on the {{pkmn|anime}}, Oak instead gives out:

In [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], players will start with {{p|Pikachu}} or {{p|Eevee}}, depending on which version of the game they are playing. These Pikachu and Eevee are considered special, separate forms commonly referred to by the game as {{ga|Partner Pokémon}}.

In {{game5|Gold|Silver|Crystal|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, [[Professor Elm]] will have an errand for the player to run, and will give them one of the following for protection on this errand, which they will then keep after completion:

After the player meets with [[Mr. Pokémon]] and receives a [[Pokédex]] from [[Professor Oak]], Professor Elm will call the player to tell them that {{ga|Silver|a thief}} has taken a Pokémon. As the player returns to [[New Bark Town]], they will encounter the thief, who will have the stolen Pokémon with the type advantage over the player's own. From this point onward, the thief will be the player's rival, while Professor Elm keeps the Pokémon that was left behind by the thief on his desk for the remainder of the game (in {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, the last Pokémon mysteriously disappears at some point).

In Generation II, the Pokémon will be holding a {{i|Berry}} when received from Elm, though the rival's stolen starter Pokémon will not.

In {{game|Emerald}}, after the player has caught all Pokémon in the [[List of Pokémon by Hoenn Pokédex number (Generation III)|Hoenn Pokédex]] with the exception of {{p|Jirachi}} and {{p|Deoxys}}, [[Professor Birch]] will offer one of these Pokémon as a reward.

In [[Pokémon Colosseum]], the middle stages of the Johto starters are caught as [[Shadow Pokémon]] from a Mystery Troop member. Only one is available for the player to obtain during the main game, while the other two are only available during the post-game. The color of the outfit for the corresponding Mystery Troop member is the same as the type for the Johto starter they have.

In {{Pokémon XD}}, after the player has cleared the entirety of [[Mt. Battle]] without touching a [[PC]] or retiring, [[Battlus]] will offer one of these Pokémon as a reward. The player can obtain all three Pokémon with consecutive challenges.

In {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, after the player first enters the [[Hall of Fame]] and meets [[Zinnia]], Professor Birch can be found being chased by a {{p|Shroomish}} on {{rt|101|Hoenn}} and the player will be allowed to choose one of the Johto starters.

In {{g|Sun and Moon}}, the Johto starters can be caught in the wild via {{DL|QR Scanner|Island Scan}} on [[Melemele Island]].

In {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}}, the Johto starters can be caught in the [[Grand Underground]] after obtaining the [[National Pokédex]].

=====[[Hoenn]]=====
In {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}, {{v2|Emerald}}, {{pkmn|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, after [[Professor Birch]] is rescued from a {{p|Poochyena}}{{sup/3|RS}}{{sup/6|ORAS}} or {{p|Zigzagoon}}{{sup/3|E}}, he allows the player to keep the Pokémon they chose to rescue him with, either:

The player's neighbor, {{ga|Brendan}} or {{ga|May}}, already has their starter Pokémon, which is always the one with the type advantage. What happens to the starter not selected is unknown. By the end of Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald, it seems that the player's nominal rival, the son/daughter of Professor Birch, has stopped being a Trainer, and Wally is actually the true rival, facing the player before they can leave {{ho|Victory Road}} and staying there to have [[rematch]]es with the player later. In Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, Brendan or May's role as an [[Non-player character|NPC]] is slightly expanded, acting as a post-credits battle in which they gain access to Mega Evolution for their starter Pokémon.

In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, [[Steven Stone]] offers one of these Pokémon to the player after they have defeated {{ga|Red}}.

In {{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}}, the middle stages of the Hoenn starters can be caught in the wild via {{DL|QR Scanner|Island Scan}} on [[Akala Island]].

In {{g|Sword and Shield}}, both the middle and final stages can be caught in [[Dynamax Adventures]] in the [[Crown Tundra]].

In {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}}, the Hoenn starters can be caught in the [[Grand Underground]] after obtaining the [[National Pokédex]].

=====[[Sinnoh]]=====
In {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}} and {{game|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl|s}} when two {{p|Starly}} attack the player and rival at [[Lake Verity]], to which they travel upon hearing reports of a [[Shiny Pokémon|red]] {{p|Gyarados}}, they will choose one of the following from [[Professor Rowan]]'s briefcase, which he left at the lake:

The player's friend and rival {{ga|Barry}} will choose the starter Pokémon that has a type advantage against the player's choice, and the [[non-player character|NPC]] who is the other-gender choice ({{ga|Lucas}}/{{ga|Dawn}}) will have the Pokémon weak to the player's choice, and therefore strong against Barry's. After fighting off the two Starly at the lake and returning the briefcase to Rowan, the professor will allow the player and {{ga|Barry}} to keep the Pokémon they used.

In {{game|Platinum}}, the player and the rival are stopped by Professor Rowan just as they are about to run through tall grass to get to Sandgem Town to ask the Professor for Pokémon. After some questions about the player and the rival's love for Pokémon, he decides to entrust them with one starter Pokémon each.

In {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, after the player enters the [[Hall of Fame]] for the second time, Professor Birch can be found being chased by his wife on {{rt|101|Hoenn}} and the player will be allowed to choose one of the Sinnoh starters.

In {{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}}, the middle stages of the Sinnoh starters can be caught in the wild via {{DL|QR Scanner|Island Scan}} on [[Ula'ula Island]].

In {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}}, the Sinnoh starters are not only offered at the beginning of the game, but can also be caught in the [[Grand Underground]] after obtaining the [[National Pokédex]].

In {{g|Legends: Arceus}}, the Sinnoh starters' first stages, and more rarely the middle stages, can be caught in certain locations, and the final stages spawn as [[Alpha Pokémon]].

=====[[Unova]]=====
In {{game|Black and White|s}}, [[Professor Juniper]] leaves a gift with the player's {{OBP|Mom|Black and White}} in [[Nuvema Town]] to give to them, containing the following three Pokémon:

The player's friend [[Cheren]] will choose the Pokémon that is strong against the player's choice, while the player's other friend [[Bianca]] will choose the one weak to the player's choice. The choice of starter Pokémon affects which of the [[Gym Leader]]s of [[Striaton City]] will be battled; players who chose Snivy will face [[Chili]], a {{type|Fire}} specialist, players who chose Tepig will face [[Cress]], a {{type|Water}} specialist, and players who chose Oshawott will face [[Cilan]], a {{type|Grass}} specialist. Also, the choice affects the [[Elemental monkeys|Pokémon]] given to the player in the [[Dreamyard]]. Choosing Snivy gives the player a {{p|Panpour}}, Tepig a {{p|Pansage}}, and Oshawott a {{p|Pansear}}.

In {{game|Black and White|s|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2|2}}, Bianca takes three starter Pokémon to [[Aspertia City]] on Professor Juniper's behalf and offers one of them to the player. The player's friend, [[Hugh]], will have the Pokémon that is strong against the player's choice, having raised it from an {{pkmn|Egg}}. The player character not chosen will have the starter that is weak to the player's choice, but only seen in its second form.

In {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, after the [[Delta Episode]] is completed, Professor Birch can be found being chased by a {{p|Machoke}} on {{rt|101|Hoenn}} and the player will be allowed to choose one of the Unova starters.

In {{g|Sun and Moon}}, the Unova starters' final forms can be caught in the wild via {{DL|QR Scanner|Island Scan}} on [[Poni Island]].

=====[[Kalos]]=====
In [[Pokémon X and Y]], the player, [[Shauna]], and {{ga|Serena}}/{{ga|Calem}} receive their starter Pokémon in [[Aquacorde Town]] from [[Tierno]], who was asked by [[Professor Sycamore]] to deliver them.

The player's friend [[Shauna]] will choose the Pokémon with a type disadvantage to the player's choice, while the player's other friend {{ga|Serena}}/{{ga|Calem}} will choose the one with a type advantage to the player's choice. The choice of starter Pokémon affects which Pokémon Shauna will [[In-game trade|trade]] with the player after the player enters in the [[Hall of Fame]]. Shauna will trade the unevolved form of her starter Pokémon, having received it as an {{pkmn|Egg}}. The choice of starter Pokémon also determines which of the [[Legendary birds]] will [[Roaming Pokémon|roam]] the [[Kalos]] region after defeating the [[Pokémon League]]—if the player chooses Chespin, {{p|Articuno}} will appear, {{p|Zapdos}} will appear to those who chose Fennekin, and {{p|Moltres}} will appear to those that went with Froakie. The middle stages of the starters can be found in the [[Friend Safari]].

In {{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}}, the Kalos starters' final forms can be caught in the wild via {{DL|QR Scanner|Island Scan}} on [[Poni Island]].

=====[[Alola]]=====
In [[Pokémon Sun and Moon]], the player receives their starter Pokémon in [[Iki Town]] from [[Hala]] and [[Professor Kukui]]. In [[Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon]], the player receives one from the Professor on {{rt|1|Alola}}. The player's friend [[Hau]] will choose the Pokémon with a type disadvantage to the player's choice. Teacher Emily in the Trainer's School will use the starter that has a type advantage over the player's choice.

In the [[Isle of Armor]], the player has the option of giving their final form starter Pokémon {{DL|Master Dojo|Max Soup}}, giving them a {{DL|Gigantamax|Gigantamax Factor}} and allowing them to enter their Gigantamax form in battle. Hop will use his starter's Gigantamax form in the [[Galarian Star Tournament]].

A first for the Pokémon games, these starter Pokémon come as a pair as to represent the [[Double Battle]] system, and are also different in that they are in the player's possession right at the start of play. Umbreon is at level 26, knowing the [[TM]] moves {{m|Taunt}} and {{m|Snatch}}, as well as {{m|Bite}} which is otherwise only available through {{pkmn|breeding}} at such a level. Espeon is at level 25, knowing the TM moves {{m|Return}} (while also starting with maximum [[friendship]]) and {{m|Reflect}}. Both are always male.

This starter Pokémon is in the player's possession right at the beginning of the game. It is at level 10 and knows {{m|Bite}}, which Eevee does not normally know at this level without {{pkmn|breeding}}. At an early point in the game, the player is offered one of five evolutionary items—[[Water Stone]], [[Thunder Stone|Thunderstone]], [[Fire Stone]], [[Sun Shard]], and [[Moon Shard]]—to allow the Eevee to evolve into any of its [[Eeveelution|evolutions]] that existed in [[Generation III]].

In Pokémon XD, if the player completes the [[Mt. Battle]] challenge and defeats all 100 Trainers without quitting or switching Pokémon, [[Battlus]] will give one of the Johto starter Pokémon as a reward.

==In the anime==
===Main series===
[[File:Sinnoh Starter Pokémon.png|thumb|350px|The Sinnoh starter Pokémon in [[Professor Rowan]]'s laboratory]]
Upon their tenth birthday, youths can register for a [[Pokédex]] and pick up a starter Pokémon from the local [[Pokémon Professor]] or [[Pokémon Center]] free of charge. Starter Pokémon are usually raised specifically to be easy to train.

Like in the games, the specific starter Pokémon available vary from region to region but are the same in each region as the games. That is, Kanto Trainers can only choose Bulbasaur, Charmander, or Squirtle; Johto Trainers can only choose Chikorita, Cyndaquil, or Totodile; and so on.

In ''[[AG025|A Mudkip Mission]]'', it was shown where starter Pokémon come from. Each region has special, secret breeding grounds run by a [[Pokémon Breeder]] for starter Pokémon. The [[Pokémon League]] sends these Breeders the Pokémon Eggs for them to hatch at the breeding grounds. The breeders then hatch, care for, and raise the young Pokémon until they are ready to be proper starter Pokémon for new Trainers. As these young ones are virtually defenseless, the locations of breeding grounds (or even the knowledge of their existence) is a secret unknown to most in the [[Pokémon world]]. This is likely to guard against unscrupulous individuals or groups (such as [[Team Rocket]]) from poaching the young Pokémon.

However, not all starter Pokémon are raised at these special breeding grounds, with [[Professor Birch]] said to catch and raise his own starter Pokémon for Trainers. 

Other rookie Trainers may receive their first Pokémon from a friend or relative instead. Others, on the other hand, may befriend a Pokémon in the wild. These mean that Trainers can, in fact, start with any Pokémon.

* [[Goh]] initially wanted his starter Pokémon to be a {{p|Mew}} like the one he met when he was six, but he changed his mind after befriending a wild {{p|Scorbunny}} in [[Galar]], choosing it as his partner instead. It has since evolved into a {{TP|Goh|Cinderace}}.
* [[Chloe]] caught an {{TP|Chloe|Eevee}} that can't evolve as her very first Pokémon and partner.

======Caught in the wild instead======
* Ash caught a {{AP|Bulbasaur}}, a {{p|Charmander}}, and a {{AP|Squirtle}} in quick succession in the [[Kanto]] region. Of the three, only Charmander evolved, becoming a {{p|Charmeleon}}, and later a {{AP|Charizard}}, being ''very'' disobedient to Ash in both forms until [[EP105|an incident]] in the [[Orange Archipelago]], after which he served Ash as he had when he was a Charmander. Bulbasaur was also going to evolve, but decided itself against becoming an {{p|Ivysaur}} in ''[[EP051|Bulbasaur's Mysterious Garden]]''.
** In the alternate continuity of ''[[M20|I Choose You!]]'', {{OBP|Ash Ketchum|M20|Ash}} only caught a Charmander, which also went on to evolve.
* Ash also caught the three [[Johto]] region starter Pokémon, {{p|Chikorita}}, {{p|Cyndaquil}}, and {{AP|Totodile}}, of which Chikorita and Cyndaquil evolved into {{AP|Bayleef}} and {{AP|Quilava}}, respectively.
* Ash caught a {{AP|Treecko}} in [[Hoenn]], while Brock captured a {{TP|Brock|Mudkip}}. Treecko evolved twice, becoming {{AP|Sceptile}} before Ash left it at Professor Oak's lab, while Brock's Mudkip evolved into {{TP|Brock|Marshtomp}}. Along with May's {{TP|May|Torchic}}, the traveling trio had the three starter Pokémon of Hoenn.
* {{an|May}} caught a Bulbasaur midway through her journey in Hoenn, and was given a {{TP|May|Squirtle}} by Professor Oak when she journeyed to Kanto. Bulbasaur evolved all the way into {{TP|May|Venusaur}} and Squirtle evolved into {{TP|May|Wartortle}} during May's travels through Johto.
* In [[Sinnoh]], Ash repeated himself by catching {{AP|Turtwig}}, who has since evolved into a {{AP|Torterra}}. His rival, [[Paul]], owned a Chimchar that was confirmed to be caught in the wild. He was released, recaught by Ash, and is now an {{AP|Infernape}}.
* Dawn {{pkmn|Egg|hatched}} a {{p|Cyndaquil}} during her journey in Sinnoh. It later evolved into {{TP|Dawn|Quilava}}.
* Like in the [[original series]], Ash caught all of [[Unova]]'s starter Pokémon, {{AP|Oshawott}}, {{AP|Tepig}}, and {{AP|Snivy}}. However, this time around, he caught them in reverse of the Pokédex order, and Oshawott was a starter Pokémon that Professor Juniper allowed Ash to have after he ran away to be with him. Of the three, only Tepig has evolved, becoming a {{p|Pignite}}.
* [[Gary Oak]] had an {{p|Eevee}} at least since Ash was traveling in the Orange Archipelago. As it was revealed to be under his ownership before his Blastoise, it caused many to hearken back to {{game|Yellow}}, where the player starts with {{p|Pikachu}}, like Ash, and the rival starts with Eevee. Either way, it was disproven that this was the case when Gary finally revealed his Blastoise to Ash. His Eevee eventually evolved into {{TP|Gary|Umbreon}}.
* Ash caught a {{p|Froakie}} in [[Kalos]], which used to belong to several other Trainers before being abandoned or abandoning the Trainer. It has since evolved into a {{TP|Ash|Greninja}}.
* {{an|Clemont}} obtained a {{TP|Clemont|Chespin}} in Kalos. It originally belonged to Professor Sycamore as a starting Pokémon for new Trainers.
* {{an|Lana}} is revealed to have caught a {{TP|Lana|Popplio}} in [[Alola]]. Popplio was rescued from being abused by members of [[Team Skull]]. It has since then evolved into {{TP|Lana|Primarina}}.
* While Ash was in Alola, he caught a {{AP|Rowlet}} who was living in a flock of {{p|Pikipek}}, a {{p|Trumbeak}}, and a {{p|Toucannon}}. Ash also encountered a {{p|Litten}} a few times before finally earning its trust and capturing it. Litten has since evolved into an {{AP|Incineroar}}.
* During his second visit to Wyndon, Goh caught a {{TP|Goh|Sobble}}.
* A {{TP|Goh|Grookey}} belonging to [[Team Rocket]] decided to [[release]] itself while in [[Vermilion City]] in order to join Goh.

===Alternate movie continuity===
''[[M20|I Choose You!]]'', a movie that started a continutity separate from the main anime series, focused on the developing friendship between {{OBP|Ash Ketchum|M20|Ash}} and the {{OBP|Ash's Pikachu|M20|Pikachu}} he received from {{an|Professor Oak}}. In this continuity, Gary also started with a {{TP|Gary|Squirtle}}, while the Oak's Bulbasaur and Charmander were revealed to have been picked by alternate versions of {{OBP|Marina|EP091}} and {{an|Tierno}}, respectively.

In ''[[M21|The Power of Us]]'', Ash and Pikachu helped [[Risa]] catch a {{pkmn2|wild}} {{p|Eevee}} that eventually became her starter Pokémon.

===Pokémon Black 2 and White 2 Animated Trailer===

Following the game's logic, [[Hugh]] is seen with a {{p|Samurott}}, which has a type advantage over Emboar. In the extended version of the trailer, {{ga|Rosa}} is also seen using {{p|Serperior}} to battle [[Cheren]]'s {{p|Stoutland}}.

===Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire Animated Trailer===
In the [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Pokémon Alpha Sapphire Animated Trailer]], {{ga|Brendan}} is shown to have picked a {{p|Treecko}}, while {{ga|May}} has both a {{p|Torchic}} and {{p|Mudkip}}. All three Pokémon are seen in their middle, final, and [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolved]] forms.

==In the manga==
===Be the Best! Pokémon B+W===
[[File:Cheren and Unova starters PBW.png|thumb|200px|The fully evolved Unova starter Pokémon in Be the Best! Pokémon B+W]]
[[Monta]], [[Bianca]], and [[Cheren]] received a {{TP|Monta|Snivy}}, {{TP|Bianca|Oshawott}}, and Tepig respectively as their first Pokémon. They ended up evolving into their final stages later on.

===The Electric Tale of Pikachu===
In [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]], unlike the anime from which the manga was based on, new Pokémon Trainers do not appear to be given any sort of starter Pokémon. {{an|Professor Oak}} is not shown residing at [[Professor Oak's Laboratory|his laboratory]] handing out starter Pokémon to new Trainers, as in the anime, rather, he travels the [[Kanto]] region conducting research, often accompanied by [[Bill]]. Trainers in The Electric Tale of Pikachu must obtain a license before they can purchase [[Poké Ball]]s or otherwise capture and train Pokémon. {{Ash}} found {{AP|Pikachu|Pikachu (EToP)}} under the floorboards of his home, keeping it as his first Pokémon. It is not currently known what [[Gary Oak]]'s first Pokémon was in the manga.

===Pokémon Adventures===
In [[Pokémon Adventures]], the starter Pokémon featured in the games are reserved for the few people who hold a Pokédex. {{adv|Professor Oak}} produces three Pokédexes for each region, and gives out the three starter Pokémon in each region along with the Pokédex to Trainers he thinks are talented. He has colleagues and friends like Professor Birch do this for him in regions in which he isn't present. In the Unova region, two sets of starter Pokémon are given out to six Trainers, but still with only three Pokédexes. Professor Oak also gave Red's Pikachu as a special starter to Yellow.

Most characters in the manga do not start out with one of the Pokédex-related starter Pokémon. Instead, they usually have a Pokémon they were given by their parents when they were infants that they use as their starter Pokémon. Occasionally, it is not directly stated which Pokémon was their starter Pokémon in the manga, but in profiles of their teams, their starter Pokémon is marked with a star and is among the highest level in the party, even if they acquired more than one Pokémon at first.

====List of starter Pokémon in Pokémon Adventures====
* {{adv|Red}}'s first Pokémon was a [[Poli]]wag he had since his childhood, which has evolved into a {{p|Poliwrath}}. His "starter Pokémon" was a [[Saur|Bulbasaur]] given to him by Professor Oak, which he nicknamed "Saur". He became a '''{{p|Venusaur}}''' in his travels.
* {{adv|Blue}}'s first Pokémon was a [[Blue's Scizor|Scyther]], now a {{p|Scizor}}, he took to the training with [[Chuck]]. His "starter Pokémon" was a {{TP|Blue|Charmander}} given to him by his grandfather, which evolved twice into a '''{{p|Charizard}}'''.
* {{adv|Green}}'s first Pokémon was a [[Jiggly]]puff, now a {{p|Wigglytuff}}, she received from the [[Masked Man]]. Her "starter Pokémon" was a [[Blasty|Squirtle]] she stole from Professor Oak, which she nicknamed "Blasty". He later evolved into a '''{{p|Blastoise}}'''.

* {{adv|Crystal}}'s first Pokémon is officially her {{p|Smoochum}}, although she acquired many wild Pokémon that lived as a family while she was in the wild. [[Megaree|Chikorita]] later ran away from Professor Elm to go with her, and became her "starter Pokémon" nicknamed "Megaree". He became a '''{{p|Meganium}}''' midway into their journey.
[[File:Ruby and his starters.png|thumb|200px|{{adv|Ruby}} and his first Pokémon from the left to the right: [[Rara]], [[Kiki]] and [[Nana]]]]
* {{adv|Ruby}}'s first Pokémon were the [[Nana|Poochyena]], [[Kiki|Skitty]] and [[Rara|Ralts]] that he received from his father, all of them having evolved into {{p|Mightyena}}, {{p|Delcatty}} and {{p|Gardevoir}} respectively. Later, he got his "starter Pokémon" from Professor Birch; a [[Mumu|Mudkip]] which he nicknamed "Mumu". He evolved into a '''{{p|Swampert}}''' from the battles he underwent.
* {{adv|Sapphire}}'s first Pokémon was the [[Rono|Aron]], now an {{p|Aggron}} her father gave her. Later, he gave her her "starter Pokémon", a [[Chic|Torchic]], which she nicknamed "Chic". She has since evolved twice under her Trainer's care into a '''{{p|Blaziken}}'''.
* When {{adv|Emerald}} arrived in the {{gdis|Battle Frontier|III}}, he had no Pokémon on hand. Then he challenged the {{gdis|Battle Factory|III}} using only [[rental Pokémon]], nearly at the end of the challenge, he noticed something suspicious about a '''{{TP|Emerald|Sceptile}}''' so he decided to steal him from the facility and kept him afterward, it is later is revealed that the Sceptile was supposed to be his in the first place, making him his "starter Pokémon". He evolved from his {{p|Grovyle}} stage in the wild, after evolving once in Wally's care. Except for Sceptile, the first Pokémon he captured were {{TP|Emerald|Sudowoodo}} and {{TP|Emerald|Dusclops}}.
* {{adv|Diamond}}'s first was his {{adv|Lax|Munchlax}}, and later he received his "starter Pokémon", a [[Tru|Turtwig]] from Platinum because of a misunderstanding. He has since evolved to '''{{p|Torterra}}''' alongside the others.
* {{adv|Pearl}}'s first was his [[Chatler|Chatot]], and later he received his "starter Pokémon", a [[Chimler|Chimchar]] from Platinum. The Chimchar has since evolved twice into an '''{{p|Infernape}}'''.
* {{adv|Platinum}}'s first Pokémon was her [[Platinum's Rapidash|Ponyta]], now a Rapidash, and later she received her "starter Pokémon", a [[Platinum's Empoleon|Piplup]] from Professor Rowan. She has since become an '''{{p|Empoleon}}''' under her care.
* {{adv|Black}} started with a [[Brav|Rufflet]] that he captured with the help of a wild [[Musha|Munna]] he had befriended, and later acquired his "starter Pokémon", a [[Bo|Tepig]] from [[Professor Juniper]] which later evolved into an '''{{p|Emboar}}'''. Initially, he was nicknamed "Tep", but the nickname was changed to "Nite" and eventually "Bo", making Black the only main character so far to change his Pokémon's nickname.
* {{adv|White}}'s first Pokémon was a Tepig named [[Gigi]]. She later acquires her "starter Pokémon", a {{adv|Amanda|Servine}}, which later evolved into a '''{{p|Serperior}}'''. This Servine, which White nicknamed "Amanda", was with [[N]] until Gigi decided to leave White to follow N. It was later revealed that Amanda was a Snivy that was going to be given out to new Trainers by Professor [[Cedric Juniper]] but was liberated by N. Except for Gigi and Amanda, her first Pokémon she captured was {{P|Deerling}}.
* {{adv|Blake}}'s first known Pokémon is a {{TP|Blake|Dewott}}, given to him by the [[International Police|International Police Headquarters]] so he would have a partner Pokémon.
* {{adv|Whitley}}'s first known Pokémon is a [[Foongy|Foongus]], given to her by [[Team Plasma]]'s [[Anthea and Concordia]], who allowed Whitley to pick the Pokémon she felt closest to.
* {{adv|X}}'s first known Pokémon is a [[Kanga and Li'l Kanga|Kangaskhan]]. He later got a [[Marisso|Chespin]], nicknamed "Marisso", as his "starter Pokémon" after he accepted him as a member of his team. He has since become a '''{{p|Chesnaught}}''' under his care.
* {{adv|Y}}'s first known Pokémon is a [[Fletchy|Fletchling]]. She later got a [[Croaky|Froakie]], nicknamed "Croaky", as her "starter Pokémon" after she accepted him as a member of her team. He has since become a '''{{p|Greninja}}''' under her care.
* {{adv|Sun}}'s first known Pokémon is an Alolan [[Cent|Meowth]], previously owned by his [[Sun's great-grandfather|great-grandfather]].

* {{adv|Moon}}'s first Pokémon is unknown, as she caught a {{p|Grubbin}}, {{rf|Alolan}} {{p|Grimer}}, and {{p|Mareanie}} around the same time. She is later given a {{p|Rowlet}} as her "starter Pokémon" from Professor Kukui. He has since become a '''{{p|Decidueye}}'''.
* [[Henry Sword|Henry]]'s first Pokémon is a {{rf|Galarian}} [[Lancelot|Farfetch'd]]. He is immediately shown as well with a {{p|Grookey}} named [[Twiggy]] as his "starter Pokémon" that he got from [[Professor Magnolia]]. He has since become a '''{{p|Thwackey}}'''.

She is immediately shown as well with a {{p|Scorbunny}} as her "starter Pokémon". It has since become a '''{{p|Raboot}}'''.

===Pokémon Gold & Silver: The Golden Boys===
In [[Pokémon Gold & Silver: The Golden Boys]], much like {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}, {{GnB|Gold}} is offered the choice of one of the three [[Johto]] starter Pokémon – {{p|Chikorita}}, {{p|Cyndaquil}} or {{p|Totodile}} – to borrow so that he may run an errand for [[Professor Elm]]. Gold chooses Totodile, which Elm allows him to keep after the errand is completed. Also, like in the games, {{GnB|Black}}, who is based on {{ga|Silver}}, steals a Chikorita from Elm's lab while Gold is away on his errand.

===Pokémon Pocket Monsters===
In [[Pokémon Pocket Monsters]], {{PPM|Professor Oak}} is depicted distributing the choice of one out of three starter Pokémon - {{p|Bulbasaur}}, {{p|Charmander}} or {{p|Squirtle}} - to Pokémon Trainers as they begin their journeys, much like in other media. {{PPM|Green}} chooses {{TP|Green|Charmander}} as his starter Pokémon, and while {{PPM|Red}} was offered the choice as well, he decided to keep a {{TP|Red|Clefairy}} that he met on his way to Professor Oak's lab as his starter instead.

===Pokémon Zensho===
In [[Pokémon Zensho]], much like in the {{game|Red and Green|s}} games on which the manga was based, [[Professor Oak]] offers {{Zensho|Satoshi}} and {{Zensho|Shigeru}} their choice of one out of three starter Pokémon - {{p|Bulbasaur}}, {{p|Charmander}} or {{p|Squirtle}}. Satoshi chooses Charmander, while Shigeru chooses Squirtle, leaving Bulbasaur with Professor Oak.

==Trivia==
* In interviews with [[Junichi Masuda]] during 2009, he stated that starter Pokémon are the Pokémon from each game that the most work goes into, and usually take significantly more time than other Pokémon in each generation.
* The only two Starter Pokémon that are dual-type in their initial form, {{p|Bulbasaur}} and {{p|Rowlet}}, are both {{type|Grass}}.

===In the games===
* All starter Pokémon in the [[core series]] besides Pikachu have a [[gender]] ratio of seven males to one female.
** Due to this, as well as the way in which gender and Shininess were determined, it was impossible to have a {{Shiny}} female starter Pokémon in [[Generation II]], as the lowest Attack {{IV}} a Shiny Pokémon could have was 2, while the highest Attack IV a female Pokémon in that gender group could have was 1.
* [[Kanto]]'s starter Pokémon are the only ones to appear in more than one [[regional Pokédex]]: [[List of Pokémon by Kanto Pokédex number|Kanto]]'s, [[List of Pokémon by Johto Pokédex number|Johto]]'s, and [[List of Pokémon by Kalos Pokédex number|Kalos]]'s.
** The {{p|Charmander}} line also appears alone in the [[List of Pokémon by Galar Pokédex number|Galar]] regional Pokédex, while the {{p|Bulbasaur}} and {{p|Squirtle}} lines appear in the [[Isle of Armor]] regional Pokédex.
* In the core series, when a starter Pokémon is first obtained, all are at level 5. Each knows one {{type|Normal}} [[physical move]] (either {{m|Tackle}}, {{m|Scratch}}, or {{m|Pound}}) and a stat-altering [[status move]] at this level, except for {{p|Pikachu}}, which has {{m|Thunder Shock}} instead of a Normal-type move. In Generation VI and VII, the starters also have an attacking move of their type at level 5.
* All Grass-type starter Pokémon have the Ability {{a|Overgrow}}, the Fire-type starters have {{a|Blaze}}, and the Water-type starters have {{a|Torrent}}. Starter Pokémon may have differing Hidden Abilities.
* {{p|Fennekin}} is the only unevolved starter Pokémon with a unique base stat total.
* The lowest base stat of a non-Mega Evolved fully-evolved starter Pokémon is {{p|Torterra}}'s {{stat|Speed}}, at 56. The highest base stat of a non-Mega Evolved fully-evolved starter Pokémon is {{p|Primarina}}'s {{stat|Special Attack}}, at 126.
* The Pikachu featured in Pokémon Yellow & Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and the Eevee in Pokémon: Let's Go, Eevee! are the only starter Pokémon that cannot evolve in the game in which they are starter Pokémon.
** Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!'s respective starters are also the only ones that cannot be traded to other games.
* {{p|Charmander}} is the only Fire-type starter Pokémon that is not a member of the {{egg3|Field}}.
* {{p|Oshawott}} is the only Water-type starter Pokémon that is not a member of the {{egg3|Water 1}}.
* The Kalos starter Pokémon's secondary types in their final forms ({{t|Fighting}}, {{t|Psychic}}, and {{t|Dark}}) almost form another type-advantage triangle (where one type deals 2× damage to and receives ½× damage from another type), only being broken by the Dark-type being completely immune to rather than resistant to the Psychic-type.
** Both the primary and secondary types, however, fit a more generally defined triangle that only requires one type to be offensively and defensively advantaged against another. For example, just as Water has the offensive and defensive advantage against Fire, so does Dark against Psychic.
** Interestingly enough, a similar pattern can be seen with the Hisuian starter Pokémon's secondary types in their final forms, though the main difference is that the {{type|Fire}} starter's secondary typing is {{t|Ghost}} instead of {{t|Psychic}}; while the Ghost type does not deal additional damage to the {{t|Fighting}} type, thus breaking the offensive triangle advantages, it is still immune against its attacks so the defensive advantages are retained here.
* It is stated in its Ultra Sun Pokédex entry that {{p|Poipole}} is a common starter Pokémon in [[Ultra Megalopolis]].
* No fully evolved Grass-type starter Pokémon has a higher base stat total than either of its two counterparts.
** Contrarily, no unevolved Grass-type starter Pokémon besides {{p|Chespin}} has a lower base stat total than either of its two counterparts.
** Similarly, no unevolved Fire-type starter has a higher base stat total than either its counterparts and no fully evolved Fire-type starter besides {{p|Blaziken}} has a lower one.
* Each one of the Alola starters' final evolutions has an immunity. {{p|Decidueye}}, being part Ghost-type, is immune to Normal and Fighting; {{p|Incineroar}}, being part Dark-type, is immune to Psychic; and {{p|Primarina}}, being part Fairy-type, is immune to Dragon.
* As of [[Generation VIII]], the only sets of starters without secondary types in any of their final evolutions are the [[Johto]] starters and the [[Galar]] starters.
** By contrast, the starters of [[Sinnoh]] (including [[Hisui]]), [[Kalos]], and [[Alola]] all have a secondary type present in their final evolutions.
* All fully-evolved Water-type starters can learn the HM moves {{m|Surf}}, {{m|Dive}}, and {{m|Waterfall}}.
* The Kanto starters and the Hoenn starters are the only set of starters capable of [[Mega Evolution]].
** Additionally, the Kanto starters and the Galar starters are the only set of starters capable of [[Gigantamax|Gigantamaxing]].
*** This makes the Kanto starters the only set of starters that can both Mega Evolve and Gigantamax.

===In the anime===
* For [[DP001]], [[Professor Oak's Big Pokémon Encyclopedia]] is about the starter Pokémon of Sinnoh. He writes this {{wp|senryū}} about them: 「シンオウで　たびがはじまる　ポケモンと」 ''"In [[Sinnoh]], a journey begins with Pokémon."''
* For [[BW003]], [[Professor Oak's Pokémon Holo Caster]] is about the starter Pokémon of Unova. He writes this senryū about them: 「パートナー　みず・くさ・ほのお　まよっちゃう」 ''"Partner, {{t|Water}}, {{t|Grass}}, {{t|Fire}}, I can't decide."''
* Ash has owned all but two of the Grass-type starter Pokémon: {{AP|Bulbasaur}}, {{AP|Chikorita}}, {{AP|Treecko}}, {{AP|Turtwig}}, {{AP|Snivy}} and {{AP|Rowlet}}. The Grass-type starter from Kalos, {{TP|Clemont|Chespin}}, is instead owned by {{an|Clemont}}, and the Grass-type starter from Galar, {{TP|Goh|Grookey}}, is instead owned by [[Goh]].
* Each {{type|Water}} starter Pokémon obtained by a main character was not battled: [[Ash's Squirtle]], {{AP|Oshawott}}, and {{AP|Froakie}} chose to join his team, while Ash fought and won against Misty for his {{AP|Totodile}}. Brock did not battle {{TP|Brock|Mudkip}} to obtain it. May received her {{TP|May|Squirtle}} from [[Professor Oak]], Dawn received her {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}} from [[Professor Rowan]], Lana rescued her {{TP|Lana|Popplio}} from Team Skull, and Goh caught his {{TP|Goh|Sobble}} without battling it.
* {{p|Squirtle}} and {{p|Turtwig}} are both based on turtles and were the starter Pokémon of two of Ash's rivals, {{Gary}} and [[Paul]].
* {{p|Torchic}} and {{p|Piplup}} are both based on birds (chicken, penguin). They were also both owned by the anime's resident [[Pokémon Coordinator]]s.
* Both May and Dawn have a second starter Pokémon from a previous generation with a type disadvantage to their first. These starter Pokémon are both from two generations prior to their owner's introduction and featured in the anime likely due to the same-generation [[remake]]s.
* In the Diamond and Pearl series, there have been two major appearances of each fully-evolved starter introduced in [[Generation IV]]: Ash and Paul's Torterra, Ash and Flint's Infernape, and Barry and Kenny's Empoleon.
*Every Fire-type starter obtained by a main character has evolved at least once.
* {{AP|Froakie|Greninja}} is the only Water-type starter that has ever evolved under Ash's ownership.
* The Kanto starters are the only ones to have all been owned by both Ash and one of his friends at some point in their evolutionary lines: May owns a {{TP|May|Venusaur}} and a {{TP|May|Wartortle}}, while Kiawe owns a {{TP|Kiawe|Charizard}}.
* The Johto Starter set is the only full starter set that Ash has obtained where none of the members were previously owned by another Trainer or a Pokémon Professor.
** Conversely, the Kanto Starter set is the only full starter set that Ash has obtained where every member was owned by a previous Trainer (excluding Professors).
* The Galar Starter set is the first full starter set to have none of its members owned by Ash in any capacity. They are all instead owned by [[Goh]].

List of in-game event Pokémon in Pokémon Legends: Arceus

2022-02-13T21:51:45Z

Celadonkey: /* Game Dependant Pokémon */

{{incomplete|2=Kricketune, Dialga, and Palkia missing info}}
This is a '''list of Pokémon obtainable from events found in {{g|Legends: Arceus}}'''.

Most of these Pokémon can only be obtained once per game; however, some may also be obtained in other ways as well. All Pokémon listed, unless otherwise noted, are {{shiny}}-locked.

===Hisui starter Pokémon===
These Pokémon are given to the player by Professor [[Laventon]] after being recruited into the [[Galaxy Team#Corps|Galaxy Team's Surver Corps]] by Captain [[Cyllene]]. The {{player}} has to pick either Rowlet, Oshawott or Cyndaquil. After finishing the main story, the player can talk to Laventon to obtain the two starters that they hadn't picked.

The starters will also appear as wild Pokémon in post-game space-time distortions.

===Kricketune===
During story [[Task#Missions|mission]] 5 "A Request from Mai", the [[player]] is tasked with defeating an [[Alpha Pokémon|Alpha]] [[Kricketune]] that has been causing trouble in the area. The player may choose to capture this Kricketune if they desire to. This Kricketune is special in no way other than it's the only one to spawn in this exact location (though the met at location is not unique when checking where you met the Pokémon as there is a normal Alpha Kricketune spawn close to where this one spawns).

The player may choose to catch this Overqwil instead of making it [[Fainting|faint]]. This is the only Overqwil that is catchable in the game, though the player can evolve a [[Regional form#Hisuian Form|Hisuian]] {{p|Qwilfish}} if they missed this one.

==Collectible Pokémon==
These Pokémon are gotten through collectibles in one way or another (collecting all of an item or being the thing being collected themselves).

===Spiritomb===
Spiritomb can be obtained by completing [[Task#Requests|request]] 22 "Eerie Apparitions in the Night". The request tasks the player with collecting 107 wisps spanning all main areas of the game, ([[Jubilife Village]], [[Obsidian Fieldlands]], [[Crimson Mirelands]], [[Cobalt Coastlands]], [[Coronet Highlands]], and [[Alabaster Icelands]]) and bringing them all back to [[Vessa]]. After the request has been completed, there is a small chance for Spiritomb to spawn in the same place as the one in the request. The Spiritomb from the request is [[Shiny]] and [[Alpha Pokémon|Alpha]]-locked, but subsequent Spiritomb are not.

|type3=Dark|move3=Dark Pulse
|type4=Ghost|move4=Shadow Ball
}}

===Unown===
The [[Hisui]] region initially only allows the player to get one of each form of [[Unown]]. These are treated as collectibles themselves and are scattered throughout each main area ([[Jubilife Village]], [[Obsidian Fieldlands]], [[Crimson Mirelands]], [[Cobalt Coastlands]], [[Coronet Highlands]], and [[Alabaster Icelands]]). There are 28 forms in total to collect. After capturing all 28 forms, Unown will begin to naturally spawn inside of the [[Solaceon Ruins]], where they can spawn {{pkmn2|alpha}} or {{shiny}}. No additional reward is received for capturing all 28 forms of Unown.

{{G8ievent/LA
|pokemon=Unown
|level=25
|ndex=201

}}

==Mythical and Legendary Pokémon==
The player can obtain many [[Legendary]] and [[Mythical Pokémon]] in the [[Hisui]] region. All of these are required to be gotten as part of the post-game's main story unless otherwise stated.

===Manaphy===
[[Manaphy]], alongside three [[Phione]], is obtainable in a normal playthrough via [[Task#Requests|request]] 66 "The Sea's Legend".

{{G8ievent/LA

===Phione===
Up to three [[Phione]] are obtainable alongside Manaphy in [[Task#Requests|request]] 66 "The Sea's Legend". After the request has been completed, there is a small chance for Phione to spawn in the same place as the ones in the request. The Phione that spawn after the request are still [[Shiny]] and [[Alpha Pokémon|Alpha]]-locked.

===Dialga===
{{p|Dialga}} is obtained towards the end of the main story. Depending on whether the player chooses to get help from the [[Diamond Clan]] or [[Pearl Clan]], the player will face Dialga first or second. Dialga will be caught in the [[Origin Ball]] and in its Origin Form if it is caught second, but can be changed freely after the completion of [[Task#Requests|request]] 89 "The Diamond Clan's Treasure".
