'''Wobbuffet''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ソーナンス''' ''Sonansu'') is a {{type2|Psychic}} [[Pokémon]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Wynaut}} starting at [[level]] 15.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Wobbuffet is a tall, cyan-colored blob-like creature with a black tail that has two eye-spots on it. Wobbuffet has flipper-like arms and a crooked expression on its face as a opposed to the perpetual smile that {{p|Wynaut|its un-evolved form}} has. It also walks on four legs at its base.
====Gender differences====
Female Wobbuffet appear to be wearing lipstick.

====Special abilities====
Wobbuffet is only capable of {{m|counter}}ing enemy attacks. However, it is highly effective at doing this due to its high endurance. It also has the curious ability to {{a|Shadow Tag|keep its opponent from retreating}}.

===Behavior===
When two Wobbuffet meet, they usually try to test each others' endurance. Even though Wobbuffet are classified as "Patient" Pokémon, a [[Pokémon Trainer]] who has it often finds that his or her Wobbuffet tends to pop out of its [[Poké Ball]] by itself, shouting out in agreement of something someone said.

===Habitat===
[[Image:Cave.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Cave Pokémon}}]]
Wobbuffet live in dark caves to keep their tail hidden.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

==In the anime==
[[Image:Musashitosonans.jpg|right|thumb|Jessie and Wobbuffet]]
[[Jessie]] has a {{TP|Jessie|Wobbuffet}} that frequently emerges from its [[Poké Ball]] to shout its name or cause what Jessie considers to be trouble. It has appeared in almost every episode since she accidentally traded her {{TP|Jessie|Lickitung}} for it in ''[[EP146|Tricks of the Trade]]''. However, she rarely uses Wobbuffet in battle.

''[[EP173|Wobbu-palooza]]'' featured a town in which everyone owned a Wobbuffet.

==In the manga==
===Pokémon Special===
Wobbuffet first appeared in {{PSV|11}} under the ownership of {{Special|Crystal}}'s mother.

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

==Other appearances==
[[Image:Wobbuffet Brawl.jpg|thumb|right|Wobbuffet in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]]]
===[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]/[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl|Brawl]]===
When released from a [[Poké Ball]], Wobbuffet will stand on the stage in one place. Anyone attacking or running into it will be damaged by its {{m|Counter}}, apart from the player who threw the Poké Ball, who will only be knocked back.

Wobbuffet is also a [[Poké Floats|Poké Float]] in Melee. It appears on its side and never fully reveals itself. When it first appears, it will quickly return off-screen but will then come back and remain to allow for fighting to take place on top of it.

====Melee trophy information====
A Patient Pokémon, Wobbuffet lives in darkness to hide its mismatched black tail. Even for a stoic Pokémon, this creature is a testament to self-control; it will not actively attack an opponent. Its {{m|Counter}} and {{m|Mirror Coat}} moves are solely used for reflecting attacks directly back at its antagonist.

==Game data==
===NPC appearances===
* [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team]]: Wobbuffet and {{p|Wynaut}} send the {{player}} on a mission into the [[Uproar Forest]]. As thanks for completing it, they help to remodel the rescue base. Notably, the Wobbuffet is the only Pokémon in the entire game that doesn't speak human language.

==Trivia==
* Its name, when paired with the Japanese name of its pre-evolution, {{p|Wynaut}}, ソーナノ ''Sohnano'', makes for a potential perpetual conversation of "that's the way it is" followed by "really?", and so on, as seen in ''[[PK11|Camp Pikachu]]''.
* Wobbuffet has the third highest base {{stat|HP}} stat in the {{pkmn|games}}, after {{p|Blissey}} and {{p|Chansey}}.
** It also has the highest base HP of all {{type2|Psychic}} Pokémon, the only stat among this type that is ''not'' dominated by any form of {{p|Deoxys}}.
* Wobbuffet is one of fourteen Pokémon that one can collect [[Meister|foreign Pokédex entries]] for in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}.
* It is one of five evolution families to learn both {{m|Counter}} and {{m|Mirror Coat}}. The others are {{p|Deoxys}} in Defense Forme (via [[level|leveling up]]), {{p|Shellos}} and {{p|Mudkip}} (both via {{pkmn|breeding}}), and {{p|Squirtle}} (via breeding and [[move tutor|move tutoring]] in {{game|Emerald}}).
* If the opponent does not attack Wobbuffet, Wobbuffet cannot harm the opponent except with {{m|Struggle}}.
*Wobbuffet's tail has two "eyes," while its pre-evolution {{p|Wynaut}}'s tail only has one.
**This tail is still of unknown purpose. It may, in fact, be what's controlling the Wobbuffet, as it apparently does not like it's tail to be bothered.

===Origin===
It may be based on the late Japanese comedian 林家三平 ''{{wp|Sanpei Hayashiya}}'', who was famous for repeatedly touching his hand to his forehead while saying one of his trademark lines, そうなんす、奥さん ''sō na-n-su, okusan'', "That's the way it is, ma'am."

In addition, its form and available moves may be based on a {{wp|punching bag}}; that is, when it is hit, it bounces back. It may also be based on Inky from the Pac-Man series.

====Name origin====
Wobbuffet's name is a combination of ''wobble'' and ''buffet'', meaning to strike repeatedly, possibly referring to its action of slapping its own forehead. Its Japanese name is homophonous with the interjection そうなんす ''sō na-n-su'', which roughly means "that's the way it is."

==In other languages==
* [[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Woingenau - Means "Where to, exactly?".
* [[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Qulbutoke - A play on ''Culbuto'' (the French trademarked name for {{wp|Weeble}}s) and the expression ''OK''.
* [[List of Korean Pokémon names|Korean]]: 마자용 ''Majayong'' - A play on ''Majayo'', which means "That's correct/That's right".

'''Mantyke''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''タマンタ''' ''Tamanta'') is a dual-type {{2t|Water|Flying}} [[baby Pokémon]].

It [[Evolution|evolve]]s into {{p|Mantine}} by [[level]]-up with a {{p|Remoraid}} in the [[party]].

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Like its evolved form, Mantyke looks like a {{wp|manta ray}}. It has wide fins, and a completely flat body. On its back is a pattern with two red spots with white outlines and a white curve underneath; all this resembles a happy face.
====Gender differences====
None.
====Special abilities====

===Behavior===
Much like Mantine, it appears to be quite friendly.
===Habitat===
Mantyke are found wild in the ocean.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

==In the anime==
[[Image:MantykeManaphegg.jpg|thumb|Mantyke carrying {{an|Manaphy}}'s egg]]
In ''[[Pokémon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea]]'', [[Jack Walker]] uses the [[Capture Styler]] on Mantyke in order to use it to help him reach the temple. It is also shown swimming with a Mantine, presumably a parent.

Mantyke made its first appearance in the anime in ''[[DP091|One Team, Two Team, Red Team, Blue Team!]]'', used by {{Ash}} in the second leg of the Pokémon Triathlon.

Several Mantyke appeared in [[DP112]].

==Trivia==
*Mantyke is the only Pokémon so far that needs another Pokémon to be in the [[party]] in order to evolve it.
*It is the second heaviest baby Pokémon behind {{p|Munchlax}}.
* Mantyke is one of ten non-{{t|Bug}}, {{type2|Flying}} Pokémon that cannot learn {{m|Fly}}.
*Mantyke, along with {{p|Spinarak}} and {{p|Dusknoir}}, have a smile-like pattern on their bodies.
*Mantyke's face pattern on it's back varies by region, so it is possible it may have a new back-sprite with a different face in [[Pokémon Heart Gold and Soul Silver]].

===Origin===
Mantyke is based on a baby {{wp|manta ray}}.
====Name origin====
Mantyke is a combination of ''manta'' and ''tyke'', a word sometimes used to described a child. Its Japanese name, Tamanta, is a combination of 玉 ''tama'', ball, and ''manta''.

'''Shellos''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''カラナクシ''' ''Karanakushi'') is a {{type2|Water}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolve]]s into {{p|Gastrodon}} starting at [[level]] 30.

Shellos have two different appearances: West Sea (pink) and East Sea (blue), found on the respective sides of the [[Sinnoh]] region. Due to this, there is a myth that the Sinnoh region was once split in two.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Shellos are slug-like Pokémon. Both forms have yellow lining around their eyes, mouth and back.

In the West Sea form, the underside is white, its back is pink in color and has small spike-like protrusions on it. On its head is a ring of pink fleshy knobs arranged like a flower.

In the East Sea form, the underside is green, its back is blue and has two flap-like protrusions. These flaps are lined in yellow. On its head are two white-tipped knobs resembling horns.

Shellos and its evolution {{p|Gastrodon}} are examples of [[wikipedia:allopatric speciation|allopatric speciation]], though they are still able to breed.

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

====Special abilities====

===Behavior===
===Habitat===
Shellos live along the sea shore.

===Diet===

==Trivia==
* When [[Serebii.net]] revealed Shellos's English name, the site originally interpreted its name as "Snelios" or "Shelios" due to poor image quality.
* According to an interview in ''[[Nintendo Power]]'', Shellos and Gastrodon were [[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire beta|originally]] designed for [[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire Versions]], but were not implemented in the final design.
** Both Shellos and Gastrodon have a [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl beta|beta]] back sprite in the game data; however, there are no front sprites for these forms, and neither can be captured in this form.
** These beta forms both are similar to the pink West Sea variations of Shellos and Gastrodon, possibly meaning that they were developed from the Generation III versions.
* As Shellos and Gastrodon's bodytype differ from where they are born, it is possible they will have new 'forms' in [[Pokemon Heart Gold and Soul Silver]]. If so, a "Johto-side" and "Kanto-side" are likely.
*In {{2v2|Diamond|Pearl}}, no in-game trainer uses East Sea Shellos in battle, even if the Trainer's current location is east of Mt. Coronet. This changes in {{v2|Platinum}} where all trainers east of Mt. Coronet may have the eastern variety.
*Shellos' Pokédex color is purple, which is probably due to the fact that pink (the color of the West Sea Shellos) mixed with blue (the color of the East Sea Shellos) would make a shade of light purple.

===Origin===
Shellos is based on a {{wp|sea slug}}.

====Name origin====
Its English name appears to be a pun on ''Shell'' and the suffix ''-less'', as Shellos does not have a shell. Its Japanese name is a combination of 殻 ''kara'', shell, and 無くした ''nakushita'', to have lost, or 無し ''nashi'', without.

==In other languages==
*[[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Schalellos - From ''schalenlos'' (without a shell).
*[[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Sancoki - From ''sans coquille'' (without a shell).
*[[List of Korean Pokémon names|Korean]]: 깝질무 ''Kkap-Jil-Moo'' - Includes 껍질 ''kkapjil'' (shell).

'''Pokémon HeartGold Version''' (Japanese: '''ポケットモンスターハートゴールド''' ''Pocket Monsters Heartgold'') and '''Pokémon SoulSilver Version''' (Japanese: '''ポケットモンスターソウルシルバー''' ''Pocket Monsters Soulsilver'') are paired [[Generation IV]] {{wp|remake}}s of the [[Generation II]] games {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}.

Much like {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} revisited the [[Generation I]] story of [[Kanto]], HeartGold and SoulSilver will revisit the story of [[Johto]], with the player's starting area being [[New Bark Town]]. As there are no definitive details about the games yet, it is currently unknown whether or not changes to the plot and course of the original games will be made. What is currently known, however, is that the geography of New Bark Town, while updated, has not changed. The player's [[rival]], {{ga|Silver}}, lurks outside of [[Professor Elm]]'s lab as he did in Generation II.

Like FireRed and LeafGreen, it is assumed that several enhancements will be made to the games to bring them up to speed with Generation IV, including adding features and Pokémon introduced in Generations {{gen|III}} and IV. It has also been confirmed that brand new features, never before seen in the series, will be introduced. As indicated by [[List of locations by index number (DS)|data in Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum]], these games are highly likely to be compatible with the Sinnoh three for battling and trading, though like FireRed and LeafGreen, certain objectives might need to be accomplished beforehand.

{{ga|Kris}}, despite being the female counterpart of Crystal's player character {{ga|Gold}}, is not included as the female counterpart, with a {{ga|Soul|new character}} instead taking her place.

==Changes from Pokémon Gold and Silver==
===Aesthetic changes===
*{{ga|Gold}}'s artwork has been redesigned while {{ga|Soul|a new character}} apparently replaces {{ga|Kris}}.
* The DS's 3D capabilities are utilized in selecting the [[starter Pokémon]].
* New Sprites are being used for Pokémon. Whether this will apply to all or only some is not known yet.
* The [[PokéGear]] has been redesigned. Now, it features two designs, one blue and white for males and another white and pink for females.
* An image of certain locations, similar to that of {{v2|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, appears when entering the location.

====Location changes====
* Elm's Lab has an upstairs level.
* Locations have been redesigned to be similar to {{3v2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}.

===Gameplay changes===
* The player's starter will follow them, similar to [[Red's Pikachu (game)|Pikachu]] in {{v2|Yellow}}. More specific details are currently unknown.
* Similarly to the event {{p|Shaymin}} and {{p|Regigigas}}'s effect on Platinum, the [[Pikachu-colored Pichu]] to be given to those who have pre-ordered tickets to the [[Arceus: To a Conquering Spacetime|twelfth movie]] will unlock an event near the [[Ilex Forest]] [[Ilex Forest Shrine|Shrine]] featuring the [[Notched-ear Pichu]].
* The screen that pops up when pressing the ''Start'' or ''X'' buttons in the previous games appears on the touch screen instead.

==Trivia==
* These games will mark the tenth anniversary since the release of the original {{2v|Gold|Silver}} for [[Game Boy Color]].
* As remakes, these games have been speculated since the release of {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}.
* The games' engine seems to be based on that of {{game|Platinum}}. The reverse happened in [[Generation III]], where {{game|Emerald}} was based on FireRed and LeafGreen's engine.

'''Poliwhirl''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ニョロゾ ''' ''Nyorozo'') is a {{type2|Water}} Pokémon.

It evolves from {{p|Poliwag}} at [[level]] 25, and then into either {{p|Poliwrath}} via {{stone|Water Stone}} or {{p|Politoed}} when [[trade]]d holding a [[King's Rock]].

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Poliwag undergoes through a dramatic change when it evolves to Poliwhirl. The most notable difference is that it has become bigger and gained arms with gloved hands while losing its tail. The eyes have moved to the top of its head and it apparently looses its visible mouth. Its nostrils are now visible. Curiously, the swirl on its abdomen as {{p|Poliwag}} reverses when it evolves.

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

====Special abilities====
In addition to the abilities it had as Poliwag, Poliwhirl can now walk and {{m|Surf|swim}} even better then before.

===Behavior===
===Habitat===
[[Image:Watersedge.gif|right|frame|[[List of Pokémon by habitat#Water's-edge Pokémon|Water's-edge Pokémon]]]]
Poliwhirl live in small freshwater ponds and lakes, usually ones that have an abundance of lily pads.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

==In the anime==
[[Image:EP168.png|thumb|right|Poliwhirl with its evolved form, {{p|Poliwrath}}.]]
[[Misty]] had a Poliwhirl in ''[[EP151|The Totodile Duel]]'' that she caught as a Poliwag; it eventually evolved into a {{TP|Misty|Politoed}}.

A Poliwhirl was one of the Water Pokémon feuding with the {{type2|Grass}}s in ''[[EP225|Bulbasaur...the Ambassador]]''.

In ''[[EP268|Tie One On!]]'', [[Vincent]] used a Poliwhirl in his battle with [[Macey]].

Poliwhirl appeared in ''[[EP083|Poké Ball Peril]]''.

A Poliwhirl was used by one of the students of the {{g|Trainer's School}} in ''[[AG015|Gonna Rule The School!]]''.

==In the manga==
===In the Pokémon Special manga===
''Nyoro'' was {{Special|Red}}'s first Pokémon. It debuted in the first round of the [[Red, Green & Blue chapter (Special)|Red, Green & Blue chapter]], ''[[PS001|A Glimpse of the Glow]]'' as Poliwhirl, however was captured before the start of the chapter as a Poliwag. It gained more importance in [[Lt. Surge]]'s story arc, in fact it evolved in ''[[PS011|Buzz Off, Electabuzz!]]'' while saving Red from drowning in the sea due to the specks of [[Water Stone]] present in the water.

{{Special|Gold}}'s Poliwag evolved into Poliwhirl in {{PSV|9}} when Gold and {{Special|Silver}} were trapped inside [[Tin Tower]]. With Silver's knowledge of Pokémon [[trade|trading]], Gold temporarily traded Poliwhirl to Silver via their Pokédexes, prompting Poliwhirl to evolve into Politoed when the effects of its [[Evolution-inducing held item|King's Rock]] activated from the trade, triggering the evolution.

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

==Other appearances==
===[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]===
Poliwhirl only appears as a random trophy.
====Trophy information====
Poliwhirl is a Tadpole Pokémon able to live on either land or in the water. When on dry land, it's constantly sweating to keep its skin nice and slimy. When in danger, it spins the whirlpool marking on its stomach to put enemies into a deep sleep, then it runs away. It evolves into either Poliwrath or Politoed.

==Trivia==
[[Image:Pokemon Center Tokyo Logo.gif|right|thumb|Poliwhirl in the original Tokyo Pokémon Center logo.|100px]]
* The logo for the Pokémon Center in Tokyo featured Poliwhirl until it was replaced by {{p|Piplup}} in July 2007.
* Poliwhirl was also featured prominently on the center of the November 22nd, 1999 issue of Time Magazine
*Poliwhirl is creator [[Satoshi Tajiri]]'s favorite Pokémon.
*Poliwhirl's sprites and artwork are inconsistent with respect to its gloves. Sometimes they are depicted as mittens, while other times they have separate fingers.
*In Generation I sprites prior to Pokémon Yellow, the swirl on Poliwhirl's stomach goes in a clockwise direction, starting from the outside. But in other sprites, it is in the counter-clockwise direction. The same goes for Poliwrath.
*Poliwhirl's sprites in in Pokémon Crystal is one of the few Pokémon that uses the Silver version of it's sprites as a base. Most all use Gold sprites.
*Poliwhirl is the first Pokémon in [[National Dex]] order to evolve by trading while holding [[evolution-inducing held item|an item]].
*Poliwhirl's speed does not improve upon evolving from Poliwag, and in fact ''worsens'' upon its evolution into either Poliwrath or Politoed.
*Poliwag's Speed does not change upon evolution into Poliwhirl.

===Origin===
Poliwhirl seems to be based on a tadpole. The spiral pattern on its belly is supposed to represent how the intestines of tadpoles can sometimes be seen through their transparent skin.
====Name origin====
Poliwhirl appears to be a combination of ''{{wp|polliwog}}'' and ''whirl'', referring to the spiral on its stomach. Its Japanese name may come in part from ニョロニョロ ''nyoronyoro'', the sound of slithering.

'''Quagsire''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ヌオー''' ''Nuoh'') is a dual-type {{2t|Water|Ground}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolve]]s from {{p|Wooper}} starting at [[level]] 20.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
====Gender differences====
The "fin" running down a female Quagsire's back is smaller than that of a male.

====Special abilities====
Despite being a Water-type Pokémon, Quagsire's Ground element allows it to harmlessly shrug off Electric attacks. Quagsire has a high pain threshold, allowing it to frequently bump its head while swimming without any adverse effects. It also has the ability to go long periods of time without food, affording it the luxury of waiting for its prey to come to it.

===Behavior===
Quagsire are quite care-free and relaxed. Because of this, they tend to bump into boat hulls. Once a year, when the moon is full, wild Quagsire collect round objects like balls and swim to [[Blue Moon Falls]], where they attempt to shoot the balls to the top of a waterfall with their {{m|Water Gun}} attacks to see who can launch their objects the highest. The day after, the objects float downstream and are considered to be blessed with luck from the Quagsire.

===Habitat===
[[Image:Watersedge.gif|right|frame|[[List of Pokémon by habitat#Water's-edge Pokémon|Water's-edge Pokémon]]]]
Quagsire live in extremely clean bodies of freshwater. The presence of Quagsire in water is usually an excellent indicator that the water is very safe for consumption.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

==In the anime==
[[Image:Wooper and Quagsire.jpg|thumb|right|Wooper and Quagsire]]Quagsire first appeared in ''[[EP127|Once in a Blue Moon]]''. It stole the [[GS Ball]] from {{Ash}} for a festival.

Quagsire also makes an appearance in ''[[EP153|Love, Totodile Style]]''.

[[Lisa (movie)|Lisa]] had a Quagsire in ''[[Spell of the Unown]]'', and used it to battle {{Ash}} against his {{AP|Pikachu}}. After Pikachu landed on the head of Lisa's Quagsire head first, both Pokémon fainted.

A few Quagsire are also seen with many other Pokémon in ''[[EP207|Got Miltank?]]''.

[[Jackson]] uses a Quagsire in his battle against [[Macey]] in ''[[EP268|Tie One On]]''.

A Quagsire has also appeared in ''[[AG096|Training Wrecks]]'', under the ownership of [[Rocky]]. Quagsire battled {{Ash}}'s {{AP|Pikachu}} and {{AP|Grovyle}}, alongside a {{p|Walrein}}. Before Pikachu could nail Walrein with its {{t|Electric}} Attacks, Quagsire would protect Walrein from being shocked, due to its immunity to Electricity while Walrein's {{m|Ice Ball}} hit Grovyle and Pikachu hard, but after the Ice Ball went slower every turn, Pikachu and Grovyle defeated Walrein and Quagsire.

A Quagsire made an appearance in ''[[DP007|Like It Or Lup It!]]''.

Several {{p|Wooper}} and a Quagsire made an appearance in ''[[The Rise of Darkrai]]''.

[[Crasher Wake]] owns a Quagsire, It appeared in ''[[DP083|A Crasher Course in Power!]]''.

==In the manga==
===Pokémon Special===

==Trivia==
* Wooper and Quagsire are the first {{type2|Water}}s to lose their weakness to {{type2|Electric}} moves, by both National Dex number and introduction.
* Quagsire's sprite darkened considerably, relative to all previous sprites, in {{game|Platinum}}. This particular sprite is also rather devoid of decent shading in comparison to Generation III and other Generation IV sprites.
*Quagsire's Crystal pokédex entry states that it doesn't care if it bumps its head, but its phrases in Mystery Dungeon state it saying it will try not to bump its head.
===Origin===
Quagsire appears to be based on an adult {{wp|axolotl}}, a species of {{wp|salamander}}. Normally, wild axolotl have flat tails and feathery, external gills - like {{p|Wooper}}. However, under the care of humans, they can mature into amphibians more closely resembling other species of salamander.
====Name origin====
Quagsire's name is a combination of ''{{wp|quagmire}}'', and ''sire''. Its Japanese name may be a combination of 沼 ''numa'', swamp, marsh, pond, or lake, and 王 ''ō'', king, or オオサンショウウオ ''ōsanshōuo'', {{wp|Japanese giant salamander}}.

==In other languages==
*[[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Morlord - Might be from ''Moor'' ({{wp|bog}}) and ''lord''.
*[[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Maraiste - From ''marais'' (swamp) and ''reste'' (stay).
*[[List of Korean Pokémon names|Korean]]: 누오 ''Nuo'' - ''Lay down''.

'''Pokémon HeartGold Version''' (Japanese: '''ポケットモンスターハートゴールド''' ''Pocket Monsters Heartgold'') and '''Pokémon SoulSilver Version''' (Japanese: '''ポケットモンスターソウルシルバー''' ''Pocket Monsters Soulsilver'') are paired [[Generation IV]] {{wp|remake}}s of the [[Generation II]] games {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}.

Much like {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} revisited the [[Generation I]] story of [[Kanto]], HeartGold and SoulSilver will revisit the story of [[Johto]], with the player's starting area being [[New Bark Town]]. As there are no definitive details about the games yet, it is currently unknown whether or not changes to the plot and course of the original games will be made. What is currently known, however, is that the geography of New Bark Town, while updated, has not changed. The player's [[rival]], {{ga|Silver}}, lurks outside of [[Professor Elm]]'s lab as he did in Generation II.

Like FireRed and LeafGreen, it is assumed that several enhancements will be made to the games to bring them up to speed with Generation IV, including adding features and Pokémon introduced in Generations {{gen|III}} and IV. It has also been confirmed that brand new features, never before seen in the series, will be introduced. As indicated by [[List of locations by index number (DS)|data in Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum]], these games are highly likely to be compatible with the Sinnoh three for battling and trading, though like FireRed and LeafGreen, certain objectives might need to be accomplished beforehand.

{{ga|Kris}}, despite being the female counterpart of Crystal's player character {{ga|Gold}}, is not included as the female counterpart, with a {{ga|Soul|new character}} instead taking her place.

==Changes from Pokémon Gold and Silver==
===Aesthetic changes===
*{{ga|Gold}}'s artwork has been redesigned while {{ga|Soul|a new character}} apparently replaces {{ga|Kris}}.
* The DS's 3D capabilities are utilized in selecting the [[starter Pokémon]].
* The screen that pops up when pressing the ''Start'' or ''X'' buttons in the previous games appears on the touch screen instead.
* An image of the location, similar to that of {{v2|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, appears when entering a new location.
* Locations have been redesigned to be similar to {{3v2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}.
* The [[PokéGear]] has been redesigned. Now, it features two designs, one blue and white for males and another white and pink for females. While it can still be hung by a strap (as seen by the new female), it can also be worn as a watch, an apparent replacement for a Pokétch (as seen by Gold)
* The clouds and trees in [[Ilex Forest]] cast shadows that cover the ground.
* Elm's Lab has an upstairs level.

===Gameplay changes===
* The player's starter will follow them, similar to [[Red's Pikachu (game)|Pikachu]] in {{v2|Yellow}}. More specific details are currently unknown.
* Similarly to the event {{p|Shaymin}} and {{p|Regigigas}}'s effect on Platinum, the [[Pikachu-colored Pichu]] to be given to those who have pre-ordered tickets to the [[Arceus: To a Conquering Spacetime|twelfth movie]] will unlock an event near the [[Ilex Forest]] [[Ilex Forest Shrine|Shrine]] featuring the [[Notched-ear Pichu]].

==Trivia==
* These games will mark the tenth anniversary since the release of the original {{2v|Gold|Silver}} for [[Game Boy Color]].
* As remakes, these games have been speculated since the release of {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}.
* The games' engine seems to be based on that of {{game|Platinum}}. The reverse happened in [[Generation III]], where {{game|Emerald}} was based on FireRed and LeafGreen's engine.

Mystery Gift

2009-05-16T01:11:04Z

Cervos: /* Generation II */

'''Mystery Gift''' (Japanese: '''ふしぎなおくりもの''' ''Mysterious Gift'') is a feature found in the [[Generation II]], [[Generation III|III]], and [[Generation IV|IV]] Pokémon video games.

==Generation II==
In [[Generation II]], Mystery Gift is used in conjunction with the {{wp|Infrared#Communications|infrared}} port on top of the [[Game Boy Color]] to communicate with other Mystery Gift-enabled games to give other players room decorations or items. It can also be used with [[Pokémon Pikachu 2]] and [[Pokémon Stadium 2]]. Mystery Gift can be used a maximum of five times a day, with no more than one gift per user.

To activate the Mystery Gift feature in the Generation II games, players must talk to the girl in green on the fifth floor of the [[Goldenrod Department Store]]. After this has been done, it can be accessed from the start-up menu. Though the Generation II games are playable on a [[Game Boy Advance]], Mystery Gift cannot be used as these systems have no infared ports.

==Generation III==
In Generation III, Mystery Gift's primary use is to receive special items at Nintendo events. '''It is language dependent''', so players will not be able to receive items with a foreign copy of the game.

To activate the Mystery Gift feature in the Generation III games, players need only to walk up to the clipboard found at any [[Poké Mart]] and enter the phrase below, based on the language of the game. The clerk behind the counter will then inform them that the Mystery Gift feature has been activated, and it will be available on the main menu from that point on. However, there is no such feature in [[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire Versions]].

In Pokémon [[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire Versions|Ruby, Sapphire]] and the Japanese version of [[Pokémon Emerald Version|Emerald]], there is an similar option called Mystery Event. To access this feature, players should talk to the NPC near the PC in the Pokémon Center in [[Petalburg City]], and enter the phrase below while being interviewed (also based on the language of the game). The NPC will then inform the player that the Mystery Event has been activated. It will then be on the main menu after saving the game from that point on.

==Generation IV==
Mystery Gift can only be activated at the [[Jubilife City]] TV station. In the station, there is an interviewer on the third floor who will activate the Mystery Gift function if players answer his questions with the correct keywords shown below (again, based on the language of the game). However, if the player receives a [[Wonder Card]] via [[Event|Nintendo Event]] or a Pokémon game, Mystery Gift would be activated whether or not the player has done so beforehand. In this generation, Mystery Gift can be used to transfer Pokémon from {{ga|Pokémon Ranger}}, [[Pokémon Ranger: Shadows of Almia]] or receive items and Pokémon from [[Pokémon Battle Revolution]]. Players are able to receive gifts wirelessly, from the {{wp|Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection}} or from a friend. The Mystery Gift feature will only allow a specific gift to be received once. As a result, a player can only get one of each item and Pokémon from the said games and also only one of Pokémon from the Events. Gifts are sent with a Wonder Card, which players can store up to three of. This is why players should choose to discard used Wonder Cards so that they will have no more than two cards before receiving another Mystery Gift.

==Trivia==
*Not only was the [[List of key items in Generation IV#Secret Key|Secret Key]] the first item to be released via a Wi-Fi event, but it was also the first to allow sharing or ''obtaining from friends''.
*Due to the game's coding, including shiny check function (which prevents Mystery Gift from being shiny by regenerating a new PID until the Pokémon isn't shiny), it is impossible to get a shiny Mystery Gift Pokémon.

'''Porygon-Z''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ポリゴンZ''' ''PorygonZ'') is a {{type2|Normal}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Porygon2}} when [[trade]]d holding a [[Dubious Disc]]. It is the final evolution of {{p|Porygon}}.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Porygon-Z is a modification of Porygon2. Porygon-Z appears similar to Porygon2, albeit darker in color. Most notably, its head is detached from the body and upside down, much like Porygon's legs, with no visible neck and yellow eyes with a bull's-eye shaped pattern. Its bill is more round, and doesn't curve down as it did in its Porygon2 stage. Its legs are now wing-like, and its posture resembles that of a hummingbird. The tail is a little plumper, with the blue pattern on its chest no longer being isolated and now connecting to its legs/wings. Porygon-Z can now levitate, unlike its pre-evolution, Porygon2, which was denounced for not being able to do so. This is shown by its behavior in Pokémon Battle Revolution and in Pokémon Mystery Dungeon 2, where Porygon-Z hovers in midair.

====Gender differences====
Porygon-Z is genderless.

====Special abilities====
Porygon-Z, and its pre-evolved forms, {{p|Porygon}}, and {{p|Porygon2}}, are the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] that can know {{m|Conversion}}, {{m|Conversion 2}}, and {{m|Sharpen}}.

Porygon-Z has significantly higher Special Attack power than Porygon2 and is slightly faster. However, Porygon-Z also has weaker defenses.

===Behavior===
Being a cybernetic Pokémon, it exhibits the behavior that was programmed into it as a Porygon. However, it may also display emotions and some erratic behavior that was not a part of its programming. Porygon-Z can sometimes be seen shaking rapidly for a short time. Whether this is intentional or a glitch is unknown.

===Habitat===
Porygon-Z normally live in cyberspace, but they can live practically anywhere due to the lack of the need to breathe.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}
Since it is a virtual Pokémon, it has no need to eat.
==In the anime==
As with {{p|Porygon2}}, it is currently believed that Porygon-Z will not appear in the anime as a result of the ''[[EP038|Electric Soldier Porygon]]'' incident, except possibly as a brief cameo.

==In the manga==

Note: Porygon-Z can learn either {{m|Conversion}} or {{m|Conversion 2}}, which can allow Porygon-Z to change its type.

===Learnset===
{{learnset intro|Porygon-Z}} Note: With the use of {{m|Conversion}} or {{m|Conversion 2}}, any damaging move can theoretically become a STAB for Porygon-Z.

==Trivia==
* Porygon-Z is the only Pokémon whose Japanese name is spelled with a character from a foreign alphabet.
* Porygon-Z is the only Pokémon to learn {{m|Trick Room}} by leveling up.
* Porygon-Z shares the highest [[Special Attack]] stat in the game (excluding legendaries) with {{p|Alakazam}}.
** Porygon-Z has the highest Special Attack stat of all {{type2|Normal}} Pokémon.
* Porygon-Z weighs as much as {{ga|Dawn}}.
* The [[Dubious Disc]]'s name implies that Porygon-Z, unlike its pre-evolution, was not authorized by [[Silph Co.]]
* Porygon-Z's pre-evolutions have their own [[signature move|signature]] Conversion move, but no new Conversion-style move was made for Porygon-Z.
* Porygon-Z is one of eight Pokémon whose name has a non-alphabetic character in it, the others being {{p|Nidoran♀}}, {{p|Nidoran♂}}, {{p|Farfetch'd}}, {{p|Mr. Mime}}, {{p|Porygon2}}, {{p|Ho-Oh}}, and {{p|Mime Jr.}}
* Since no leveling up is required to evolve Porygon-Z, Porygon-Z is one of the two fully evolved three-stage Pokémon capable of legitimately being level 1 ({{p|Roserade}} being the other), and the only one that can't skip its fully unevolved form.
* Porygon-Z is the only Pokémon that evolves from a Pokémon that evolves via [[trade|trading]] while [[held item|holding an item]]. It is also the only Pokémon who evolves from a Pokémon who already evolved from methods other than leveling up (not including evolutionary lines where baby Pokémon are the first stage).
* Platinum was the first game to mention what Porygon-Z was originally designed to do.
* In [[Pokemon Battle Revolution]], Porygon-Z is shown doing something that resembles sneezing when using range attacks. This likely references Porygon-Z's 'bugged' upgrade.
===Origin===
Like Porygon and Porygon2, it is based on an origami crane made with 3D computer graphics.
====Name origin====
Porygon-Z's name is a mix between ''[[wp:polygon|polygon]]'' and ''[[wp:origami|origami]]''. It may also reflect the stereotype that Japanese people pronounce their 'L' sounds as 'R' sounds, Porygon being a mispronunciation of polygon. The "Z" could either refer to the {{wp|Z axis}} in [[wp:Three-dimensional space|3D]] coordination systems or that Porygon-Z is the last of its evolutionary line (since the letter Z is the last letter of the {{wp|Latin alphabet}}). It is also possible that the "Z" was used as a corruption of "2", due to the fact that Porygon-Z is a glitched version of Porygon2.

'''Uxie''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ユクシー''' ''Yuxie'') is a {{type2|Psychic}} [[legendary Pokémon]].

It is not known to evolve into or from any other Pokémon.

Uxie is the first member of the Sinnoh region's {{type2|Psychic}} legendary Pokémon [[legendary trio|trio]].

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Uxie is a small, gray, fairy-like Pokémon with two gray tails that are each encrusted with a red gem. These are, presumably, two of the jewels which complement up the [[Red Chain]]. Uxie has a partially yellow face with another red gem encrusted into its forehead. Uxie appears to have a yellow helmet.
Uxie always has its eyes closed due to the fact that it can wipe out the memory of those who look in its eyes.
====Gender differences====
Uxie is genderless.

====Special abilities====
It can wipe out the memory of those whose eyes come in contact with its eyes. In Pokémon Mystery Dungeon 2, it is mentioned that Uxie can also create an illusion. Uxie is also the most intelligent of all Pokémon, having created all knowledge in the Pokémon universe.

===Behavior===
===Habitat===
Uxie lives in [[Lake Acuity]].

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

==In the anime==
[[Image:MespritAzelfUxie.jpg|thumb|right|150px|The silhouettes]]
A statue and silhouette of Uxie appeared in ''[[DP036|A Secret Sphere of Influence]]''.

==In the manga==
===In {{g|Special}}===
{{Special|Platinum}} is sent to guard Uxie from [[Team Galactic]]. She was chosen because, fittingly, she is very knowledgeable when compared to the {{p|Mesprit|calm}} {{Special|Diamond}} or the {{p|Azelf|hyper}} {{Special|Pearl}}.

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

==Game data==
===NPC appearances===
* {{g|Mystery Dungeon 2}}: [[Uxie (Mystery Dungeon 2 character)|Uxie]] is the guardian of the [[Time Gears|Time Gear]] at [[Fogbound Lake]].

====Trophy Information====
''A Knowledge Pokémon. It's said that Uxie's emergence gave humans the wisdom to improve their lives. This Pokémon possesses the ability to erase the memory of those who see its eyes. Uxie uses status-altering moves in battle--its frequent use of Yawn is very effective in putting foes to sleep. Uxie makes its home in Lake Acuity in the Sinnoh region.''

'''Mesprit''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''エムリット''' ''Emrit'') is a {{type2|Psychic}} [[legendary Pokémon]].

It is not known to evolve into or from any other Pokémon.

Mesprit is the second member of the Sinnoh region's {{type2|Psychic}} legendary Pokémon [[legendary trio|trio]].

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Mesprit is a small, gray, fairy-like Pokémon. It has two tails that each have a red jewel encrusted into them. These are, presumably, two of the jewels which complement the [[Red Chain]]. Mesprit has a partially magenta face with four long, drooping appendages and another red gem encrusted into its forehead.
====Gender differences====
Mesprit is genderless, although it is referred to as a female in [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon 2]].

====Special abilities====
Mesprit's spirit can leave its body without dying. Its spirit can return to the body at will. According to [[Sinnoh myths|legend]], it can drain one's emotions away by simply touching it.

===Behavior===
===Habitat===
Mesprit sleeps at the bottom of [[Lake Verity]]. Once it is encountered, it will run away, wandering around [[Sinnoh]] and only traceable with the Marking Map [[Pokétch]] app. Mesprit will warp to a new location whenever the player crosses the boundary between two areas except if the player passes through a gate between a city and a route, or if the player uses {{m|Fly}}.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

==In the anime==
[[Image:355.jpg|thumb|Left|Mesprit in the anime as a projected soul]]
{{an|Dawn}} saw the projected soul of Mesprit near [[Lake Verity]] in ''[[DP001|Following a Maiden Voyage!]]''.

A statue and silhouette of Mesprit appears in ''[[DP036|A Secret Sphere of Influence]]''.

==In the manga==
===Pokémon Special===
{{Special|Diamond}} was sent to protect Mesprit from [[Team Galactic]].

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

==Game data==
===NPC appearances===
* {{g|Mystery Dungeon 2}}: Mesprit is the guardian of the [[Time Gears|Time Gear]] of [[Quicksand Cave]].

===Pokédex entries===
{{Dex
|type=psychic
|gen=4
|diamonddex=Known as "The Being of Emotion." It taught humans the nobility of sorrow, pain, and joy.
|pearldex=Although it slumbers at the bottom of the lake, its spirit is said to leave its body and flitter on the water surface.
|platinumdex=When Mesprit flew, people learned the joy and sadness of living. It was the birth of emotions.

===In Super Smash Bros. Brawl===

On the [[Spear Pillar]] Stage occasionally the [[Lake trio]] makes a suprising "cameo" appearance during the fight; they do nothing, however.

====Trophy Information====
''An Emotion Pokémon said to have taught humans emotions. Rumor is, if you touch Mesprit, you'll lose all emotions three days later. It sleeps at the base of Lake Verity, but once engaged in battle, it will rise from the water to fly around the Sinnoh region. Even if you see this Pokémon after your initial meeting, it'll try to flee battle, so catching it is quite a task.''

==Trivia==
* Mesprit's eyes are constantly half open. This mirror's Uxie's constantly closed eyes, and Azelf's constantly open eyes.
*Mesprit is somewhat unique among the members of its trio, as it leaves [[Lake Verity]] to [[Roaming Pokémon|roam]] [[Sinnoh]] after being found.
**Also, in [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon 2]], Mesprit is the only one of the lake trio to fight the main character ''before'' the end of the main story.
*Despite being genderless in the main series games, Mesprit is referred to as a female in [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon 2]].
*Mesprit shares the same [[species]] name with {{p|Kirlia}}. They are both known as Emotion Pokémon.
*Mesprit is the first [[Legendary Pokémon]] seen in the {{series|Diamond & Pearl}} of the {{pkmn|anime}}.
*Azelf's {{game|Pearl}} [[Pokédex]] entry mentions that Mespirit, {{p|Uxie}}, and {{p|Azelf}} emerged from the same {{pkmn|egg}}.
*Mesprit's {{v2|Platinum}} sprite is the only one of its trio to have the same tail pose as its Sugimori artwork.
===Origin===
Mesprit is based after a {{wp|spirit}} or a {{wp|sprite}} and the color {{wp|magenta}}. Mesprit and the rest of the trio could possibly have originated from the {{wp|Imperial Regalia of Japan}}, which are also called the Three Sacred Treasures. Mesprit would be the {{wp|Yasakani no Magatama}}, which embodies benevolence.
====Name origin====
The English name comes from the personal pronoun ''me'' and ''esprit'' (French for "spirit") or ''{{wp|Sprite (creature)|sprite}}''. Its Japanese name may come from the Japanese verb 笑む ''emu'', meaning ''to smile'', or ''emotion'', and ''esprit'' or ''sprite''.

==In other languages==
*[[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Vesprit
*[[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Crefollet - From ''créer'' (create) and ''feu follet'' ({{wp|Will-o'-the-wisp|Will-O-Wisp}}, also the French translation for the {{m|Will-O-Wisp|move of the same name}}).

==Trivia==
* Azelf's eyes are constantly wide open. This mirror's Uxie's constantly closed eyes, and Mesprit's half-open eyes.
* Azelf is the only [[legendary Pokémon]] to learn {{m|Explosion}} by [[level|leveling up]] without the need of a [[move relearner]], being found at level 50 and learning the move at 76.
* Azelf appears as a background character in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]], on the {{OBP|Spear Pillar|stage}} stage.

===Origin===
Azelf appears to be a {{wp|pixie}} or a {{wp|fairy}} and the color {{wp|cyan}}, although its name suggests that it's an {{wp|elf}}. Azelf and the rest of the trio could possibly have originated from the {{wp|Imperial Regalia of Japan}}, which are also called the Three Sacred Treasures. Azelf would be the {{wp|Kusanagi}}, which embodies valor.

====Name origin====
Azelf comes from ''azure'' and ''elf'' or ''us'' and ''elf''. The first part of its Japanese name may come from the Japanese verb 倦ねる ''aguneru'', meaning ''to lose interest in'' and {{wp|gnome}}.

'''Drifblim''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''フワライド''' ''Fuwaride'') is a {{2t|Ghost|Flying}}-type Pokémon.

=Biology=
==Physiology==
Drifblim seems to be a living hot air balloon. Its once black eyes are now red and set far apart. It has four limbs which may be twitched to act as rudders, while its bottom is red and looks torn. It has grooves running down the body. The puff on the top of its head seems small compared to its whole body. Like Drifloon, it has a yellow "X" on its face and (as seen in [[Pokémon Special]]) a little mouth on it.
===Gender differences===
None.
===Special abilities===
Unlike Drifloon, Drifblim can be used for transportation, having the strength to lift people. Unfortunately, like a real hot-air balloon, it goes with the winds, and as such, you cannot control it's trajectory.

==Behavior==
==Habitat==
==Diet==
{{main|Pokémon food}}

=In the anime=
[[Image:Drifblim balloon.JPG|right|thumb|Tonio's Drifblim in [[The Rise of Darkrai]].]]
It first appeared in in the movie [[The Rise of Darkrai]], where it floated around [[Alamos Town]], scouting for [[Tonio]].

The closed Hearthome Gym in ''[[DP049|Dawn's Early Night]]'' was designed after a Drifblim.
=In the manga=
When {{Special|Diamond}}, {{Special|Pearl}} and {{Special|Berlitz}} were in [[Hearthome City]], [[Fantina]] used her Drifblim to throw off some women who were teasing the trio about being rookies in contests.

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

=Game data=
Although Drifblim has one of the worst base Defense and Special Defense [[stats]] in [[Generation IV]], it has a very high HP stat and an acceptable Special Attack stat.
==Pokédex entries==
{{Dex

==Trivia==
*Its English name was originally thought to be ''Driftblim'', but was later confirmed to be ''Drifblim'', without the '''t''' in the name.
===Origin===
Drifblim is based on a {{wp|hot air balloon}}.
====Name origin====
Its name is derived from ''drift'' and ''blimp''. Drifblim's Japanese name may be derived from 付和雷同 ''fuwaraidō'', the Japanese word meaning to follow others blindly. It could also be a combination of ''fuga'' (Latin for flight) and ride. It also may be derived from ふわふわ ''fuwa fuwa'', meaning soft, fluffy, and light, or an {{wp|onomatopoeia}} for floating, 風船 ''fūsen'', balloon, and ride.
Its German name, Drifzepeli, comes from ''Drift'' and ''Zeppelin''. Its French name, Grodrive, comes from ''{{tt|gros|big}}'' and ''{{tt|dérive|drift}}''.
The Korean name is a combination of ''fluffy'' (둥실, ''doongsil'') and the word ''ride'' in English.

==Trivia==
*Drifloon is the first Generation IV Pokémon to be shown in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]].
*In the Japanese version of Pearl's Pokédex entry, Drifloon specifically take children to the "world of the dead" (Japanese: あのよ), instead of just trying to "steal them away" as in the English version. This was likely changed to comply with Nintendo's usual "kid-friendly" policy (Unfortunately, this "stealing away of young children" has made Drifloon the butt of many Pedophilia jokes). However, in the US release of Super Smash Bros. Brawl, the description provided along with Drifloon's trophy still states taking children to the underworld
*Drifloon shares the same [[species]] name with {{p|Jigglypuff}}'s evolutionary family and {{p|Qwilfish}}. They are all known as Balloon Pokémon.
* Drifloon is one of eight non-{{t|Bug}}, {{type2|Flying}} Pokémon that cannot learn {{m|Fly}}.
===Origin===
Drifloon are based on {{wp|balloons}}.
====Name origin====
Drifloon's name is a combination of ''drift'' and ''balloon''. Its Japanese name, Fuwante, may be derived from ふわふわ ''fuwa fuwa'', meaning soft, fluffy, and light, or an {{wp|onomatopoeia}} for floating, and 風船 ''fūsen'', balloon. Its German name, Driftlon, comes from ''Drift'' and {{tt|Ballon|balloon}}. Its French name, Baudrive, comes from ''baudruche'' and ''{{tt|dérive|drift}}''. Its Korean name, 흔들풍선, comes from words 'drift, shake' (흔들다, ''heundeul-da ['da' is a suffix for verbs, with no real meaning]) and ''balloon'' (풍선, ''poongsun'')

== Synopsis ==

{{Synopsis cleanup}}
[[Ash Ketchum|Ash]] and [[Ash's Friends|the gang]] finally arrive at the [[Valley Windworks]]. Here they meet [[Nurse Joy]] and 2 [[Marnie and Paige|two younger joys]] and their group of {{p|Drifloon}}. After getting to know the family Nurse Joy realises her husband has forgotten his lunch. Nurse Joy then asks Paige to use the Drifloon to {{m|Fly}} to the generator where her father works and take him his lunch. When she gets there her father is seen fixing something using his {{p|Ampharos}}.

Marnie then takes Ash to a spring to meet her other Pokémon friend. When Ash asks what Pokémon it is she tells him it is a {{p|Suicune}}. Ash is surprised as this is a [[Legendary Pokémon]], however Marnie insists that it is true.

Later, a storm brews and as Paige tries to prevent the Drifloon from being blown away she herself is in fact blown away by the winds.

== Trivia ==
[[Image:Two young Joys.png|thumb|[[Paige and Marnie|Marnie and Paige]].]]
* It was revealed that "Joy" is the nurse's family rather than given name. Marnie's full name is Marnie Francis Lynnette Joy (Sayaka François Joy in Japan), and Paige's full name is Paige Francis Lynnelle Joy (Mai François Joy in Japan).
* [[Pokettari Monsutari]] and music from [[Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]] and [[Destiny Deoxys]] are used as background music.
* A major point in the episode's plot is about the Drifloon carrying off Paige (and later, Ash). It is stated in the games, however, that the Drifloons don't have enough strength to lift a child, let alone a teenager, and end up being pulled around like real balloons.
* The episode contains many references to {{wp|My Neighbor Totoro}}, with Sayaka (Marnie) = Satsuki and Mai (Paige) = Mei.
* [[Pokémon senryū]] is about Poffin making: かきまぜろ　こがさずこぼさず　ポフィンづくり ''Stir it, without burning or spilling: Poffin-making.''
* Nurse Joys keep their surname in marriage.
* The name of Paige and Marnie's father is never mentioned in the dubbed version of the episode. The only references to Karsten's name occur in the closed captioning.

=== Errors ===

=== Dub edits ===
* In the Japanese version, the opening scene shows {{Ash}}, [[Brock]] and {{an|Dawn}} deciding to head to the nearby Pokémon Center. For unknown reasons, when the episode premiered in America this was replaced by a scene from later in the episode of Paige and the Drifloon getting carried away by the wind. However, a dubbed version of the scene does exist and was retained in the Australian and UK airings. This is the second cold opening produced by [[Pokémon USA]], after ''[[DP014|Leave It to Brocko!]]''.

Animated series move errors

2008-06-27T06:55:39Z

Cervos:

In the [[Pokémon anime]], there will often come up a Pokémon that knows a move it cannot learn legally in any of the {{pkmn|games}}. It is unknown whether these are actual mistakes or a writing policy of not having to stick to the games too closely.

==Less blatant examples==

* During {{AP|Caterpie}}'s battle with {{AP|Pidgeotto}} in [[EP003]], {{Ash}} tells Caterpie to use {{m|Counter}}; however, Caterpie cannot learn Counter and does not know how to use it, so it panics and braces for impact.
* In [[EP050]], [[Misty]] gets stuck with {{TP|Misty|Psyduck}} in her battle with Ash. Ash doesn't battle seriously and has {{AP|Bulbasaur}} simply lick Psyduck's head and tickle it with its vines. This is not to be confused with the actual moves {{m|Lick}} and {{m|Tickle}}, the latter of which was later introduced in [[Generation III]]. Bulbasaur still cannot learn Lick or Tickle.
* In [[EP075]], [[Mandi the Astounding|Mandi's]] {{p|Golbat}} uses a move that the announcer calls {{m|Double Team}}, but more closely resembles {{m|Teleport}} (which of course, Golbat cannot learn).
* In [[DP028]], some {{p|Drifloon}} were used to {{m|fly}} around the area. However, they did not use the actual move Fly. The Pokédex specifically states that Drifloon can't carry the weight of children anyway.
* A group of {{p|Combee}} in [[DP032]] appear to be using {{m|Psybeam}}, however, this is actually the anime representation of {{p|Vespiquen}}'s {{m|Attack Order}}.
* [[DP071]] and [[DP072]] feature a {{p|Riolu}} that can use {{m|Aura Sphere}}. This is due to its unique ability to manipulate aura prior to evolution. This episode is directly based on a mission from [[Pokémon Ranger Batonnage]] featuring a similar Riolu. This is the only way a Riolu that knows Aura Sphere is available in the games.
* In [[DP081]], Paul's Ursaring uses {{m|Headbutt}}. While Headbutt was available to Ursaring in [[Generation II]] as a TM move, Ursaring cannot learn Headbutt in [[Generation III]] or [[Generation IV]].

=='Thunder Armor'==
In [[AG100]], Pikachu, while riding Swellow, uses Thunder on itself (and subsequently, Swellow). They endure the self-attack, and after doing so, are both enveloped in a golden Aura, colored like the one used in Volt Tackle. This 'move' substantially increased both Pikachu and Swellow's Speed and attack, and where able to subdue their opponents with relative ease after this was preformed. This 'move', however, is not official, nor does it even have an official name. It has not been used since, aswell.

'''Ash's Tauros''' (Japanese: '''サトシのケンタロス''' ''Satoshi's Kentaros'') — 30 of them — were caught during [[Ash Ketchum]]'s travels in the [[Kanto]] region. Their voice actor in both Japanese and English is 小西克幸 ''[[Katsuyuki Konishi]]''.

Ash spent some time in the [[Kanto Safari Zone|Safari Zone]] in the episode ''[[EP035|The Legend of Dratini]]''. He was attempting to [[captured Pokémon|catch]] as many [[Pokémon]] as possible, though all he ended up with were 30 Tauros as they always ran in front of his Safari Balls when he tried to make a catch. As Ash had six Pokémon with him at the time, they were sent to [[Professor Oak]]'s laboratory. This episode has never been aired outside of Japan due to the firearms being a plot point. The dub provides no explanation for their appearance.

The Tauros' main characteristic is stampeding. This means that the lab is a good place for them, as there is plenty of space to run around. They have proved useful at the laboratory, stampeding to wake up [[Ash's Snorlax]] in times of crisis. However, the stampeding has caused mishaps. The first time Ash returned to [[Pallet Town]], they stampeded through a fence. Later, they stampeded through the lab, leaving a mess and a large hole in the wall.

Ash began using Tauros when he needed a replacement for Snorlax for his battle for the Winner's Cup of the [[Orange League]] in ''[[EP111|Hello Pummelo]]'' and ''[[EP112|Enter The Dragonite]]''. He sent the now-sleeping {{AP|Snorlax}} to Oak's for one of his Tauros to see if the "beginner's luck" strategy he had used in the [[Indigo Plateau Conference]] with {{AP|Kingler}} and {{AP|Muk}} would work again. After an initial failure when hit with a {{p|Gengar}}'s {{m|Confuse Ray}}, Tauros managed to defeat a {{p|Venusaur}} on his own during the battle, subsequently helping to weaken [[Drake's Dragonite]] for Pikachu to land the final blow. He then stayed in his [[Poké Ball]] until Ash returned him to the herd when he returned to Pallet Town.
[[Image:Ash's Tauros.jpg|left|thumb|Ash's Tauros]]

The Tauros was used again in early [[Johto]] during the Pokémon Swap Meet. One of the events was a Tauros-battling competition, which Ash entered after exchanging {{AP|Heracross}} for Tauros. He ended up winning the competition- subsequently receiving multiple offers to trade Tauros before he explained that he wasn't there to trade-, but sent Tauros back to Professor Oak in the next episode.

On Ash's return from [[Hoenn]], the Tauros were seen running towards him with his other Pokémon. However, they were just stampeding as usual, and Ash had to be rescued before he could be reunited with the other Pokémon. He used Tauros again in the battle against [[Salon Maiden Anabel]] in ''[[AG169|Talking a Good Game]]'' and ''[[AG170|Second Time's the Charm]]''.

*{{m|Earthquake}}
*{{m|Take Down}}
*{{m|Fissure}}
*{{m|Double Team}}

==Trivia==
*[[Brock]] caught a Tauros at the same time that Ash caught his first Tauros. Because of this, some believe that Brock should own a Tauros, and the writers forgot about it in subsequent episodes. However, he caught it using one of Ash's Safari Balls, and therefore it is one of the 30 belonging to Ash.
*Tauros is the first confirmed male Pokémon to be caught by a main character, due to it only being able to be male. Later on, [[Ash's Charizard]] and [[Ash's Buizel]] have been confirmed to be male, while [[Brock's Happiny]] and [[Dawn's Ambipom]] have been confirmed to be female. [[Ash's Butterfree]], {{AP|Pikachu}}, {{AP|Heracross}}, {{AP|Totodile}}, {{AP|Corphish}}, and {{AP|Sceptile}} have evidence that they are male, while {{AP|Bayleef}} and [[Dawn's Buneary]] have evidence that they are female, though it is hard to confirm at this time.
*Despite them all being captured in a green Safari Ball, they all have regular Poké Balls when Ash calls them into battle.
*It has never been revealed whether Ash uses the same Tauros whenever one of them is transferred to him or if Professor Oak simply sends him a random one each time.
*Tauros can learn Fissure through [[TM27]] in [[Generation I]], but it can't learn it in the following Generations.
*Since the episode where Ash obtains these Tauros was banned in the US (For use of guns), Some people wondered where the Tauros came from, as from their view, Ash magically got 30 Tauros.

'''Ash's Staravia''' (Japanese: '''サトシのムクバード''' ''Satoshi's Mukubird'') is the first [[Pokémon]] that [[Ash Ketchum]] [[captured Pokémon|caught]] in the [[Sinnoh]] region. He is voiced by 古島清孝 ''[[Kiyotaka Furushima]]'' and by [[Michele Knotz]] in English.
[[Image:Ash Starly.jpg|thumb|left|As a Starly battling with Ash]]
Ash caught it as a {{p|Starly}} in ''[[DP002|Two Degrees of Separation]]'' while searching for {{AP|Pikachu}}, who was missing due to the antics of [[Team Rocket]]. [[Dawn's Ambipom|Ash's Aipom]] was swinging through the trees and accidentally bumped into Starly, so the two Pokémon battled. Weakened by Aipom, Starly was captured and immediately used in the search for Pikachu.

In ''[[DP003|When Pokémon Worlds Collide]]'', Starly battled another Starly belonging to [[Paul]] and lost. Despite proving itself to be more powerful than Ash's Starly, Paul released his back into the wild, apparently disappointed with its performance.

In ''[[DP013|A Staravia is Born]]'', Starly evolved into a {{p|Staravia}} during a battle with [[Team Rocket]]. Evolving has allowed it to grow much stronger and he is very useful in searches.

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

Unlike [[Ash's Pidgeot]] or [[Ash's Noctowl]], Staravia is closer in use to [[Ash's Swellow]] in that, while Staravia is mainly used for scouting purposes, Staravia is often used in battles and is one of Ash's stronger team members.

==Moves used==
[[Image:Staravia AerialAce.jpg|left|thumb|175px|[[Ash's Staravia]] using '''Wing Attack''' against [[Gardenia's Turtwig]].]]

* {{m|Wing Attack}}
* {{m|Quick Attack}}
* {{m|Aerial Ace}}
* {{m|Whirlwind}}
* {{m|Gust}}
* {{m|Brave Bird}}

==Trivia==
*Despite the fact Ash's Staravia and other members of his evolution family know {{m|Gust}}, it is impossible for {{p|Starly}}, {{p|Staravia}}, or {{p|Staraptor}} to learn it in the games. This error was also present in the Japanese version. The dub changed it to {{m|Whirlwind}} in Starly's initial appearance, but left it as Gust until ''[[DP038|One Big Happiny Family]]'', when it was dubbed as Whirlwind again, and has been since.
*For [[DP015]], [[Professor Oak's lecture]] is about Ash's Staravia. He writes this [[Pokémon senryū]] about it: ムックルが　ムクムクしんか　ムクバード ''{{tt|Mukkuru|Starly}} mukumuku-evolved; {{tt|Mukubird|Staravia}}''
*Judging by the pattern on Staravia's head, it can be assumed that this Pokémon is male. However, his gender has not been officially confirmed, as no other Staravia have been seen to compare it to.
*Staravia was the 40th Pokémon species Ash has owned, counting {{AP|Larvitar}}, {{AP|Haunter}}, and {{AP|Raticate}}.
*Assuming Ash's pattern of somehow getting the fully evolved version of the 'starter bird' from each series, it is presumed that Ash will get Staraptor, though when that is, is anybody's guess. He could evolve it in the next couple episodes, or when he's about done with it, like Pidgeot.

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

==In the anime==

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

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

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

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

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

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

Pikachu became the second non-legendary to defeat a [[legendary Pokémon]] in the anime after {{AP|Charizard}}, beating [[Pyramid King Brandon|Brandon's]] {{p|Regice}} in ''[[AG189|Pace - The Final Frontier]]'', giving Ash his final Frontier Symbol.

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

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

===Moves used===
[[Image:Ash'sPikachu VoltTackle.jpg|thumb||right|175px|Pikachu using Volt Tackle]]

*{{m|ThunderShock}}
*{{m|Tackle}}
*''{{m|Thunderbolt}}''
*{{m|Thunder}}
*''{{m|Quick Attack}}''
*{{m|Agility}}
*''{{m|Iron Tail}}''
*''{{m|Volt Tackle}}''
* "Thunder Armor"

(Moves that have been used most recently are italicized)
Thunder armor was a 'move' that was coined by fans. in the episode [[Solid as Solrock]], Pikachu is seen using Thunder on himself while riding Ash's Swellow. After enduring the attack on itself, both it and swellow were colored gold, much like Pikachu is when it uses Volt Tackle. This multiplied their attack power greatly and easily overpowered their opponents. It hasn't been used since.
 

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

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

==Trivia==
[[Image:Ash'sHatAG.jpg|right|thumb|Ash and Pikachu.]]
*Pikachu is Ash's only {{type2|Electric}} Pokémon and was the only Electric-type owned by a main character in the anime until the capture of [[Dawn's Pachirisu]].
*Some of Pikachu's speech is consistent enough that it seems that some phrases actually mean something. For instance, Pikachu always uses "Pikapi" when referring to Ash (notice that it sounds somewhat similar to "Satoshi"). Other speech includes:
**PikaPikachu: ''My name is Pikachu''. When Ash and his friends are introducing themselves to the [[characters of the day]], it says this.
**Pi-Kachu: It says this during the sponsor spots in the original Japanese.
**Pikachu-Pi: ''[[Misty|Kasumi-chan]]'' (Misty)
**Pika-Chu: ''[[Brock|Takeshi]]'' (Brock)
**PiPiPi: ''[[Misty's Togetic|Togepy]]'' (Togepi)
**PikakaPika: ''[[Ash's Bulbasaur|Fushigidane]]'' (Bulbasaur)
**PikaPika: ''[[Ash's Squirtle|Zenigame]]'' (Squirtle) or ''[[Ash's Staravia|Mukubird]]'' (Staravia)
**PiPikachu: ''[[Team Rocket|Rocket-dan]]'' (Team Rocket). It also says this after Ash wins a badge, catches a new Pokémon or anything similar.
**Pi-Ka: ''[[Kenny (Sinnoh)|Kengo]]'' (Kenny).
**Specific names for [[Tracey Sketchit|Tracey]], {{an|May}}, [[Max]], and {{an|Dawn}} have not been heard.
**Chuuu-Pika: ''{{m|Iron Tail}}''. It says this when using {{m|Iron Tail}}.
**Pika-Chuuuuuuuu: ''{{m|Thunderbolt}}''. It says this when using {{m|Thunderbolt}}.
**PikaPikaPika...Pi-ka: ''{{m|Volt Tackle}}''. It says this when using {{m|Volt Tackle}}
**ChuChuChu...: ''{{m|Quick Attack}}''. It says this when using {{m|Quick Attack}} or {{m|Agility}}.
**PiPiPiPiPi...: ''{{m|Quick Attack}}''. It may also say this when using {{m|Quick Attack}} or {{m|Agility}}.
***Pikachu will occasionally use pantomime to specify what it is talking about. In particular, it has a face to represent {{AP|Turtwig}}.
*For ''[[DP013|A Staravia is Born]]'', [[Professor Oak's lecture]] is about Ash's Pikachu. He writes this [[Pokémon senryū]] about it: パートナー　サトシとピカチュウ　いいかんじ ''Partners Satoshi and Pikachu: a pleasant feeling''.
*Because there is no indent on Pikachu's tail, many cite this as proof that it is indeed male. Others disagree, noting Pikachu is from [[Kanto]] (which has not been shown to have Pikachu with indented tails in either anime or games), and was introduced during the [[Generation I]] games, long before gender differences came to be shown.
** Some also cite a crush that [[Dawn's Buneary]], who is female, has on Pikachu as proof.
** Also, Ash has, on several occasions, referred to his Pikachu as his "buddy".
**In ''[[DP061|Team Shocker!]]'', {{TP|Dawn|Pachirisu}}, {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}} and {{TP|Dawn|Buneary}} are cheering for Dawn in cheerleader outfit, while Pikachu is wearing a male kimono. This may suggest Pachirisu, Piplup and Buneary are female, while Pikachu is male.
**In ''[[DP062|Tanks for the Memories!]]'', it, {{AP|Turtwig}}, and {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}} also look embarrassed being in maid outfits, much like Ash himself is, which may indicate that Pikachu, Turtwig, and Piplup are male.
* There is also evidence supporting the theory that Pikachu might be female.
** Gender differences don't seem to apply consistantly to Pokémon caught outside Sinnoh.
** Misty has on several occasions pictured Pikachu in dresses.
** Pikachu has been shown to have a fondness for some feminine items like perfume as seen in [[EP026]].
** [[Dawn's Buneary]] relation with Pikachu is one sided meaning the Buneary might not know Pikachu's gender.
** Ash's Bayleef's extreme rivalry with Pikachu for Ash might point to Pikachu being female too.
*Out of all five regions that Ash visited, [[Kanto]] and [[Hoenn]] are the only ones that Ash started out with just Pikachu. He did try to go to [[Sinnoh]] with Pikachu alone but Aipom followed him. At the beginning of each, Pikachu was also, in some way, injured, and ended up destroying the [[bike]] of a girl who would later travel with Ash.
*Throughout the series the yellowish color of Pikachu has become lighter and Pikachu's body has become more slender.
*Pikachu has never been seen defeating any of [[Gary Oak|Gary's]] Pokémon.
*Pikachu was the first of Ash's Pokémon to disobey him. Other Pokémon that would do so, and be better remembered for their disobedience than Pikachu, are [[Ash's Primeape|Primeape]] and [[Ash's Charizard|Charizard]].
*Pikachu has battled all the members of the {{p|Electabuzz}} evolutionary family at one time or another ([[Rudy]]'s Electabuzz, [[Gary's Electivire]] and [[Paul's Electabuzz|Paul's Elekid]]) but has not won even once. However Pikachu has defeated an Electabuzz ([[Dr. Namba]]'s) with the help of [[Sparky]]. On every other occasion, Pikachu fought 1-on-1 and lost.
*Ash's act of keeping Pikachu outside its Poké Ball on a permanent basis has been mimicked by several other characters in the anime. [[Ritchie]], when he first meets Ash, keeps [[Sparky]] inside of its ball, but later is shown to carry it on his shoulder much like Ash does. Dawn, likewise, does the same with her {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}}. Unlike Ash's Pikachu, however, neither Sparky nor Piplup is shown to have complained about being in the ball.
*Ash's Pikachu is the subject of many 'gamebreaking' abilities that normally do not fit in the general stasis of the games. This includes Pikachu's ability to sometimes hurt ground types with Electric moves (Sparking the meme "Aim for the Horn!"), and using moves that do not exist, or moves in a way that do not work in the games, such as the infamous "Thunder armor" and Agility.

***Pikachu will occasionally use pantomime to specify what it is talking about. In particular, it has a face to represent {{AP|Turtwig}}.
*For ''[[DP013|A Staravia is Born]]'', [[Professor Oak's lecture]] is about Ash's Pikachu. He writes this [[Pokémon senryū]] about it: パートナー　サトシとピカチュウ　いいかんじ ''Partners Satoshi and Pikachu: a pleasant feeling''.
*Because there is no indent on Pikachu's tail, many cite this as proof that it is indeed male. Others disagree, noting Pikachu is from [[Kanto]] (which has not been shown to have Pikachu with indented tails in either anime or games), and was introduced during the [[Generation I]] games, long before gender differences came to be shown.
** Some also cite a crush that [[Dawn's Buneary]], who is female, has on Pikachu as proof.
** Also, Ash has, on several occasions, referred to his Pikachu as his "buddy".
**In ''[[DP061|Team Shocker!]]'', {{TP|Dawn|Pachirisu}}, {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}} and {{TP|Dawn|Buneary}} are cheering for Dawn in cheerleader outfit, while Pikachu is wearing a male kimono. This may suggest Pachirisu, Piplup and Buneary are female, while Pikachu is male.
**In ''[[DP062|Tanks for the Memories!]]'', it, {{AP|Turtwig}}, and {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}} also look embarrassed being in maid outfits, much like Ash himself is, which may indicate that Pikachu, Turtwig, and Piplup are male.
* There is also evidence supporting the theory that Pikachu might be female.
** Gender differences don't seem to apply consistantly to Pokémon caught outside Sinnoh.
** Misty has on several occasions pictured Pikachu in dresses.
** Pikachu has been shown to have a fondness for some feminine items like perfume as seen in [[EP026]].
** [[Dawn's Buneary]] relation with Pikachu is one sided meaning the Buneary might not know Pikachu's gender.
** Ash's Bayleef's extreme rivalry with Pikachu for Ash might point to Pikachu being female too.
*Out of all five regions that Ash visited, [[Kanto]] and [[Hoenn]] are the only ones that Ash started out with just Pikachu. He did try to go to [[Sinnoh]] with Pikachu alone but Aipom followed him. At the beginning of each, Pikachu was also, in some way, injured, and ended up destroying the [[bike]] of a girl who would later travel with Ash.
*Throughout the series the yellowish color of Pikachu has become lighter and Pikachu's body has become more slender.
*Pikachu has never been seen defeating any of [[Gary Oak|Gary's]] Pokémon.
*Pikachu was the first of Ash's Pokémon to disobey him. Other Pokémon that would do so, and be better remembered for their disobedience than Pikachu, are [[Ash's Primeape|Primeape]] and [[Ash's Charizard|Charizard]].
*Pikachu has battled all the members of the {{p|Electabuzz}} evolutionary family at one time or another ([[Rudy]]'s Electabuzz, [[Gary's Electivire]] and [[Paul's Electabuzz|Paul's Elekid]]) but has not won even once. However Pikachu has defeated an Electabuzz ([[Dr. Namba]]'s) with the help of [[Sparky]]. On every other occasion, Pikachu fought 1-on-1 and lost.
*Ash's act of keeping Pikachu outside its Poké Ball on a permanent basis has been mimicked by several other characters in the anime. [[Ritchie]], when he first meets Ash, keeps [[Sparky]] inside of its ball, but later is shown to carry it on his shoulder much like Ash does. Dawn, likewise, does the same with her {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}}. Unlike Ash's Pikachu, however, neither Sparky nor Piplup is shown to have complained about being in the ball.

'''Breloom''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''キノガッサ''' ''Kinogassa'') is a dual-type {{2t|Grass|Fighting}} Pokémon.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
In sharp contrast to the diminutive Shroomish, Breloom sports an agile shape, similar to a kangaroo or a theropod dinosaur. It has a mushroom-like "cap" on its head and seed clusters on the end of its tail. Its arms appear to be short and off little use, but they can stretch surprisingly far to deliver punches.
====Gender differences====
None.

====Special abilities====
In addition to storing up spores that causes several status aliments, they also physically very strong, much like most Fighting-types.

===Behavior===
===Habitat===

==In the anime==
[[Image:Kenny's Breloom.jpg|right|thumb|{{si|Kenny}}'s Breloom]]
Breloom's first appearance was a cameo in the first Advanced Generation movie, ''[[Jirachi: Wishmaker]]''. This Mushroom Pokémon was one of the residents of Forina, {{an|Jirachi|Jirachi's}} home.
[[Image:Breloom anime.jpg|left|thumb|A group of Breloom from ''[[AG082|A Shroomish Skirmish]]''.]]
The first major role Breloom had was in ''[[AG082|A Shroomish Skirmish]]''. {{Ash}} and {{AP|friends}} were being attacked by Breloom that had evolved from Shroomish that were mad at them for stealing their food. {{an|May}}'s newly evolved {{TP|May|Combusken}} defeated the Breloom and saved the day.

Breloom had another cameo in ''[[AG135|Numero Uno Articuno]]'' as a Pokémon belonging to [[Factory Head Noland|Noland]].

{{si|Kenny}} has a Breloom that appeared in ''[[DP060|Journey to the Unknown!]]'' and ''[[DP061|Team Shocker!]]''.

==Trivia==
* Though an [[alternate coloration|alternate colored]] Breloom that was once shown in the anime was dark blue with a green lower neck, the real shiny form of Breloom is red.
* Breloom is considered one of the most fearsome Pokémon in competitive play because of its imposing Attack stat and its reliable sleep-inducing move (a one-two attack involving Spore and then Focus Punch is most common). For these reasons, it is very commonly used.
* No other Pokémon has the same [[Elemental types|type]] combination as Breloom.

===Origin===
Breloom is based on a mushroom.

====Name origin====
Breloom's name may be a combination of ''{{wp|umbrella}}'' and ''{{wp|mushroom}}''. Its Japanese name is likely a combination of 茸 ''kinoko'', mushrooms, and 傘 ''kasa'', umbrella.

Shiny Pokémon

2008-06-27T06:07:27Z

Cervos: /* Pokémon Mystery Dungeon */

[[Image:ShinyGSStars.png|thumb|left]][[Image:Shinystar.gif|thumb|left]]
[[Image:Ash's Noctowl.jpg|thumb|right|[[Ash's Noctowl]] soaring.]]
[[Image:Shiny charizard from (pokemon pokedex colecters edition).JPG|thumb|right|"Pokémon Gallery: Encounter with Shiny Pokémon" by [[Ken Sugimori]].]]
'''Alternate coloration''' (Japanese: '''色違い''' ''iro chigai'') of a Pokémon is one of the many differences that a Pokémon can have within its species. Commonly, this is called being a '''shiny''' (Japanese: '''光る''' ''hikaru'') Pokémon.

Shiny Pokémon in the games may differ in color from their normal counterparts either very little or very much. Usually the former is the case, with some Pokémon, such as {{p|Froslass}}, having their shiny form be only a few shades lighter in color. However, many Pokémon will have a spectacular difference between their normal and shiny variations; even extremely common Pokémon like {{p|Caterpie}} show a dramatic difference.

Despite being completely different colors, however, the two forms of {{p|Shellos}} and {{p|Gastrodon}} are not normal/shiny variations of one another. Their difference is more akin to [[form differences|the difference]] between {{p|Unown}} or {{p|Spinda}}.

To distinguish the Pokémon from their normally-colored counterparts, many fans refer to alternate-colored Pokémon as their color, such as a green Espeon or a gold Steelix.

==In the games==
In the [[version|main series]], alternate coloration was introduced in [[Generation II]]. This was likely to take fullest advantage of the [[Game Boy Color]], which enhanced [[Pokémon Gold and Silver]] and was required for [[Pokémon Crystal]].

When a shiny Pokémon appears in the wild or from a trainer's [[Poké Ball]], stars will surround it and make a pinging sound effect. In Generation II, this ping happens before the Pokémon's call, while in Generations [[Generation III|III]] and [[Generation IV|IV]] it happens afterward. In [[Pokémon Battle Revolution]], a flash of light circles the Pokémon upon its release from the Poké Ball. On the Pokémon's status screen, its shiny status is indicated in Generation II as three small stars next to its gender and in Generation III and IV as a large star on the status screen. In Generation IV, the Pokémon's [[Pokédex]] number will also be colored red instead of black.

===Pokémon Stadium===
In [[Pokémon Stadium (English)|Pokémon Stadium]] and [[Pokémon Stadium 2]], Pokémon with a nickname can be colored slightly differently, no matter whether or not they are actually alternate colored or not. This seems to have disappeared from later games.

===Generation II===
[[Image:Talkin' 'Bout an Evolution.jpg|frame|A Red Gyarados.]]
[[Image:130.png|thumb|left|Regular {{p|Gyarados}}.]]
[[Image:Spr 4d 130 s.png|thumb|left|Red Gyarados.]]
In Generation II, shininess is determined by the [[IV]]s of a Pokémon. If a Pokémon's Speed, Defense, and Special IVs are 10, and its Attack IV is 2, 3, 6, 7, 10, 11, 14 or 15, it will be shiny. This determination allowed for compatibility with [[Generation I]], as if a shiny Pokémon is traded back, then traded forward, it would retain its shininess. Despite the bonus of backwards compatibility allowing for a shiny Pokémon to learn Generation I [[TM]]s, provided it was a Generation I Pokémon, shiny Pokémon are only slightly above average in terms of IVs.

Due to the probability of the IVs lining up in any of these manners to produce a shiny Pokémon, the chance of obtaining one in Generation II is approximately 1/8192. However, if one breeds a shiny Pokémon properly, the offspring may have as high as a 1/64 chance of being shiny, depending on the species of Pokémon.

To highlight alternate coloration, a [[red Gyarados]] at the [[Lake of Rage]] is part of the main plot of the Generation II games. After its defeat or capture, a Red Scale will be obtained, which can be given to [[Mr. Pokémon]] in exchange for an [[Exp. Share]]. The red Gyarados is the only Pokémon in the games that will be shiny without fail.

Shininess is inherent to an individual Pokémon; that is, a Pokémon that starts out shiny will always be shiny, and one that is not will never be, provided its data is unaltered. Upon evolution, a Pokémon will retain its shiny status. A shiny {{p|Charmander}}, if leveled up, will eventually become a shiny {{p|Charmeleon}} and then a shiny {{p|Charizard}}, just as a regular Charmander will become a regular Charmeleon and then a regular Charizard. This is due to the status being determined by values inherent to the Pokémon, however, there is a [[Personality value|difference]] in the determination between [[Generation II]] and [[Generation III]] and [[Generation IV|IV]].

===Generations III and IV===
In Generation III, most of the data structures were redone. As such, a Pokémon's shininess would no longer need to be linked to its stats due to incompatibilities between the Generation III games and previous generations. The determinant for shininess is instead a calculation based on the [[Trainer ID number]] of the player encountering it and the [[personality value#Shininess|personality value]] of the Pokémon. The secret ID and trainer ID bytewords are first xored together, and then the first byteword of the personality value is xored with the second byteword of the personality value. If the xor of these two results is less than eight, then the Pokémon is shiny. This results in a probability of 1 in 8192 (8/65536), just as in Generation II. Symbolically:

(Trainer ID) '''xor''' (Secret ID) = E

(First byteword of personality value) '''xor''' (Second byteword of personality value) = F

if E '''xor''' F is less than eight, then the Pokémon is shiny.

In [[Trainer Tower]] in {{g|FireRed and LeafGreen}} there are two trainers which have shiny Pokémon. In the single battle mode, the seventh trainer has a shiny {{p|Meowth}}, while in double battle mode, the first pair of trainers have a shiny {{p|Espeon}}.

===Pokémon Mystery Dungeon===
[[Image:207episode.jpg|left|thumb|A regular Kecleon with a purple Kecleon.]]
It is sometimes thought that the TM Merchant in [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon]] is a shiny Pokémon. It is a Kecleon, and although Kecleon are normally green, it is actually purple, including its sprite. However, though it is alternate-colored (like the Kecleon in ''[[EP205|The Kecleon Caper]]''), it is not shiny (shiny Kecleon have a blue stripe instead of a red stripe). It says that it was so excited about Orbs that it turned rosy-colored. {{fact}} In [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon 2]], a shiny {{p|Celebi}} appears, although shiny Pokémon are not obtainable normally in the game. Some argue that due to an altered timeline, this particular Celebi is Shiny. Others argue that this one has feelings for a male pokemon, and the Shiny coloring (pink) Further emphasizes that this particular Celebi is inherently female.
 

==In the TCG==
Alternate colored Pokémon have appeared in the TCG as well, first as {{TCG|Shining Pokémon}} in {{TCG|Neo Revelation}} and {{TCG|Neo Destiny}}, and later as [[Pokémon Star (TCG)|Pokémon]] {{Star}} in {{TCG|EX Team Rocket Returns}} - {{TCG|EX Power Keepers}}.
{{-}}
==In the anime==
[[Image:ShinyDonphan.jpg|right|thumb|An alternate color {{p|Donphan}} in the anime.]]
Although the games had not premiered alternate colored Pokémon until Generation II, several Pokémon seen beforehand were colored differently. One such example is the [[pink Butterfree]], the mate of [[Ash's Butterfree]], which appeared as early as [[EP021|the twenty-first episode]]. This is, however, not the standard alternate coloration for a {{p|Butterfree}}, causing many to not count it. Likewise, the first appearance of a [[Generation III Pokémon]] in ''[[EP205|The Kecleon Caper]]'' featured a non-standard alternate colored Pokémon, this time a purple {{p|Kecleon}}. The first Pokémon with its official alternate coloration seen was also the first [[:Category:Generation II Pokémon|Generation II Pokémon]] to be seen, a [[Ho-Oh (anime)|Ho-Oh]] seen by Ash in [[EP001|the first episode]]. Because alternate coloration was not yet an explored concept, however, most do not consider this to be an "official" shiny Pokémon either. A blue {{p|Breloom}} and a light-blue {{p|Marill}} also appeared in ''[[AG151|Weekend Warrior]]'', which aren't the offical alternate colors for those Pokémon, and therefore was quite obviously a coloring error. Another Pokémon that's attributed as being a shiny is Saturn's {{p|Toxicroak}} from [[DP069]]. Whether it is really a shiny or that's just how Toxicroak are depicted in the anime is being debated.

The first true shiny Pokémon that appeared, however, was a [[Ash's Noctowl|Noctowl]] in ''[[EP154|Fowl Play]]''. [[Ash Ketchum|Ash]] eventually captured it, and, as in the games, sparkles surround it as it comes from its [[Poké Ball]]. Several other shiny Pokémon have appeared as well.

'''Miltank''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ミルタンク''' ''Miltank'') is a {{type2|Normal}} Pokémon.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Miltank is a mostly pink colored bipedal cow with small horns and a long tail with a black ball in the end. It has a cream colored belly with four udders. It also has black spots on it's back and a black "hood".
====Gender differences====
Miltank is a female-only species. Its male counterpart is {{p|Tauros}}.

===Special abilities===
Miltank is the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] that learns {{m|Milk Drink}}.

===Behavior===
Unlike Tauros, Miltank are much more placid Pokémon that spend most of their time eating and digesting grass and other plants. However, they also possess a stubborn streak may be unwilling to comply if they don't receive the proper training required. However, when properly trained, they can be a very useful asset, both in milking and battling.

===Habitat===
[[Image:Grassland.gif|right|frame|[[List of Pokémon by habitat#Grassland Pokémon|Grassland Pokémon]]]]
Miltank are happiest in fresh pasture.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}
They mostly consume grass, which they convert into milk.

==In the anime==

{{TP|Whitney|Miltank}} first appeared under the ownership of [[Whitney]] during ''[[EP158|A Goldenrod Opportunity]]'' and ''[[EP159|A Dairy Tale Ending]]''.

In ''[[EP207|Got Miltank?]]'', a Miltank was guarding an area that was for Pokémon only.

[[Harrison (Johto League)|Harrison]] also has a Miltank, but he has only been seen using her to quell an argument between [[Ash's Bulbasaur]] and {{AP|Squirtle}} and [[Vincent's Meganium]] and {{p|Azumarill}} during the [[Silver Conference]] in ''[[EP268|Tie One On!]]''.

[[Solana]] enlists the help of a [[wild Pokémon|wild]] Miltank in ''[[AG171|Pokémon Ranger: Deoxys Crisis]]''.

Four Miltank appeared in ''[[DP062|Tanks for the Memories!]]''. One under [[Autumn|Autumn's]] ownership, nicknamed "Ilta" (ルータン ''Rūtan''), two under [[Spring|Spring's]] and another one under [[Summer|Summer's]].

==Trivia==
* Its male counterpart is {{p|Tauros}}.
* Despite it's male counterpart being Tauros, breeding a Miltank with a Tauros (or any compatible pokemon) Will always result in a Miltank. The two species are considered seperate.
* In the anime, people have eaten or wanted hamburgers, which usually comes from cows. Since Miltank are cow Pokémon, it is speculated that people may or may not eat Miltank or possibly even Tauros.
* The spots shown on a Miltank's back sprite seems to change with each new [[Generation]], possibly implying that Miltank may have different patterns on their backs for each [[region]].
===Origin===
Miltank is based on female {{wp|cattle}}, or cows.
====Name origin====
Miltank's name is a combination of ''{{wp|milk}}'' and ''tank'', a storage container for liquid. The ''tank'' part of Miltank's name could also refer to her tank-like defense stats.

'''Garchomp''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese:]] '''ガブリアス''' ''Gablias'') is a dual-type {{2t|Dragon|Ground}} Pokémon. Being such a powerful Pokémon, it is deemed [[pseudo-legendary]].

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Garchomp appears to be a blue dragon crossed with a hammerhead shark. On each limb are two spikes, their use unknown, with a red belly with one yellow triangle near its pelvis. On each of its forelegs are a single, sharp claw, with two dorsal fin-like "wings" that it flies with. On the sides of its head are two extensions from a hammerhead shark, and resemble plane turbines.

====Gender differences====
The female has a full dorsal fin, while the male's has a triangular cut in it, like its pre-evolutions.

====Special abilities====
Though Garchomp is not able to learn the move {{M|Fly}}, and cannot possess {{A|Levitate}} it can still fly at an incredible speed to catch its prey.

===Behavior===
===Habitat===
It may live in warm caves, like Gible.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

==In the anime==
[[Image:Garchomp-anime.jpg|thumb|[[Cynthia's Garchomp]]]]
[[Cynthia]]'s {{TP|Cynthia|Garchomp}} made its debut appearance in ''[[DP040|Top-Down Training]]''.

==In the manga==
[[Cynthia]]'s signature Pokémon like in the games and anime was a Garchomp.

==In the TCG==

==Trivia==
*Garchomp bears the same star-shaped mark as {{p|Sharpedo}}.
*Garchomp has the second highest base stat average of all non-legendary Pokémon, the first being Slaking. However, it is tied with the four other [[Pseudo-legendary|powerhouse evolutions]]. Garchomp is also tied with many other legendaries for base stat average, including {{p|Mew}}, {{p|Celebi}}, {{p|Deoxys}}, {{p|Latios}} and {{p|Latias}}.
*Though its Pokédex entries make note of its astounding flying abilities, Garchomp cannot learn {{m|Fly}}. Similarly, though known as the Mach Pokémon, it cannot learn {{m|Mach Punch}} or any other variation of {{m|Quick Attack}}, including Quick Attack itself, in general.
*Disappointingly, Garchomp's shiny image isn't very different at all from the original, being hardly a different shade of blue.
===Origin===
Appearance-wise, Garchomp seems like a cross between a {{wp|European dragon}} and a {{wp|hammerhead shark}}. It may have the genuine apperance of a land shark. It also seems to have the appearence of a {{wp|jet}}
====Name origin====
Its English name clearly comes from ''chomp''. The Japanese name may come from がぶがぶ ''gabugabu'', the sound of gobbling or gulping down, がぶりと ''gaburito'', bite or chew, or がぶりと噛み付く ''gaburitokamitsuku'', sink one's teeth into, and アース ''āsu'', {{wp|Soil|earth}}.

Its German name, Knakrack, comes from {{tt|knackig|crackling}} and {{tt|Krach|crack}}. Its French name, Carchacrok, comes from ''Carcharodon'', scientific name of sharks, and ''{{tt|croquer|to bite}}''.

'''Nidoran♂''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ニドラン♂''' ''Nidoran♂'') is a {{type2|Poison}} Pokémon.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Nidoran♂ is a small, rabbit-based Pokémon with large ears, whiskers and front teeth. They are covered with spines primarily on their back which can release potent poisons if Nidoran♂ is threatened. Nidoran♂ have a larger forehead horn than their female counterparts, {{P|Nidoran♀}}.
====Gender differences====
Nidoran♂ is the male of the species, and is noted to be one of the first Pokémon to denote [[gender]] differences. In the later generations, however, Pokémon with genders are marked with a ♀ or ♂ symbol, rather than being actual different Pokémon.

Compare with Nidoran♀. Note how the female Nidoran has a smaller horn and fewer spines, as well as a different color.
====Special abilities====
Its large horns can secrete a powerful venom, unlike its female counterpart, the size of the horns is indicative of the strength of the venom. It also has unique muscles around its ears, which permit them to be moved in any direction.

===Behavior===
Nidoran♂ are fairly docile Pokémon, although they tend to be more alert and nervous than their female counterparts, constantly listening for the sounds of approaching enemies with their large ears. Their potent venom is used primarily as a defense, and most likely evolved to counteract their small body size.

===Habitat===
[[Image:Grassland.gif|right|frame|[[List of Pokémon by habitat#Grassland Pokémon|Grassland Pokémon]]]]
Nidoran♂ live in expansive hot savannas and plains.

===Diet===
''Main article: [[Pokémon food]]''

==In the anime==
[[Image:EP100.jpg|thumb|right|Nidoran♂ with its counterpart, Nidoran♀.]]
[[Ralph]] owned a Nidoran♂ which evolved into a Nidorino after kissing {{Oi|Emily}}'s {{p|Nidoran♀}} in ''[[EP100|Wherefore Art Thou, Pokémon?]]''

==In the manga==
[[Shū]] caught a Nidoran♂ in [[Pokémon Get da ze!]].

A battle between a Nidoran♂ and [[Clefairy (Pocket Monsters)|Clefairy]] was how [[Isamu Akai]] met his {{p|Clefairy}} in [[Pocket Monsters (manga)|Pocket Monsters]].

==In the TCG==
{{main|Nidoran ♂ (TCG)}}

==In the TFG==
One Nidoran♂ figure has been released.

==Trivia==
*Nidoran was the first Pokémon to feature gender, and even gender differences; however, their difference is much greater than later Pokémon.
*Despite the addition of Genders in all pokemon starting in Generation II, the two variations of Nidoran remained seperate species, rather than a singular species that splits down different evolution paths based on gender.
*Nidoran♂'s [[alternate coloration]] is based on {{p|Nidoran♀}}'s normal coloration.
*Nidoran and {{p|Nidorino}} share the same [[species]] name with their female counterparts {{p|Nidoran♀}} and {{p|Nidorina}}.

===Origin===
Nidoran♂ appears to be based on a [[wp:rabbit|rabbit]] or [[wp:mouse|mouse]].
====Name origin====
Nidoran♂'s name may be based on the word ''needle''. It may also be based from the word ''cnidarian'' which are stinging animals. Alternatively, it may be based on 二 ''ni'', two, or 二度 ''nido'', two times/two degrees, referring to there being two distinct evolutionary lines using the name with similar names and traits. The ''♂'' in its name is an indication of its male gender.

==In other languages==
*[[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Nidoran♂
*[[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Nidoran♂
*[[List of Korean Pokémon names|Korean]]: 니드런♂ ''Nideuran♂''
*[[List of Chinese Pokémon names|Chinese (Taiwan and Hong Kong)]]: 尼多郎 (Ni Duo Lang) - Transliteration of its original name. The character 郎 literally refers to young males.

'''Blissey''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ハピナス''' ''Happinas'') is a {{t|Normal}}-type Pokémon. It evolves from {{p|Chansey}}.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
It has a large egg shaped body, one half pink and the other white. It has small fluffy ears and wing-like appendages at the end of its small arms. It also has a pink pouch on its belly with an egg inside.
====Gender differences====
Blissey is a female-only species with no male counterpart.

====Special abilities====
It is said that anyone who takes one bite of a Blissey's egg will become unfailingly caring and pleasant to everyone.

Blissey, and its pre-evolved form, {{p|Chansey}}, are the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] that learn {{m|Softboiled}} naturally. However, {{p|Mew}} could learn it from a TM in [[Generation I]], while members of the {{p|Clefairy}} and {{p|Togepi}} families can be tutored the move in [[Generation III]]. [[Smeargle]] can also [[Sketch]] the move.

===Behavior===
===Habitat===

===Diet===

==In the anime==
[[Image:IgnoranceisBlissey.jpg|thumb|right|A Blissey in the anime.]]
Blissey first appeared in ''[[EP129|Ignorance is Blissey]]''. This Blissey kept on accidentally doing things that weren't favorable to those around her despite good intentions. [[Team Rocket]] came across Blissey and the Happiness Pokémon apparently knew [[Jessie]] from her days of training to be a Pokémon nurse.

Very happy to see her friend Jessie, Blissey eagerly gave Team Rocket all the food in the [[Pokémon Center]]'s pantry. Team Rocket eventually decided to make it seem like they robbed the pantry, because Blissey was getting blamed for a crime she didn't mean to commit.

==Trivia==
* Of all Pokémon, Blissey's HP [[base stats|base stat]] is the highest, at 255, causing it to be able to have higher HP than any other Pokémon in the games with a total of 714 HP if 252 HP EVs are added and if it has 31 HP IVs.
*Disappointingly, Blissey's shiny form is largely the same as it's normal coloring, being only a lighter shade of pink.
* Blissey, and its evolution family, Happiny and Chansey, have the most in-game items associated with them. This includes: [[Lucky Punch]], [[Lucky Egg]], [[Luck Incense]] and the [[Oval Stone]].
*Blissey shares the same [[species]] name with {{p|Togetic}}. They are both known as Happiness Pokémon.
===Origin===
It may be based on a nurse. Design-wise, it appears to have some physical similarities to [[Nurse Joy]] from the {{pkmn|anime}} in both color and hair.
====Name origin====
Blissey's name comes from the word ''bliss'', as in happiness. Its Japanese name may be a combination of ''happiness'' and ''nurse''.

'''Nidoran♀''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ニドラン♀''' ''Nidoran♀'') is a {{type2|Poison}} Pokémon.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Nidoran♀ is a small, rabbit-based Pokémon with large ears, whiskers and front teeth. They are covered with small spines primarily on their back which can release potent poisons if Nidoran♀ is threatened. Nidoran♀ doesn't seem to possess any fur, similar to reptiles. Nidoran♀ have a smaller forehead horn than their male counterparts, Nidoran♂.

====Gender differences====
Nidoran♀ is the female of the species, and is noted to be one of the first Pokémon to denote [[gender]] differences. In the later generations, however, Pokémon with genders are marked with a ♀ or ♂ symbol, rather than being actual different Pokémon.

Compare with {{p|Nidoran♂}}. Note how the male Nidoran has a longer horn and more spines, as well as a different color.

====Special abilities====
Nidoran♀ usually attacks by clawing and biting her foes. She also has the aforementioned ability to secrete poison from her small spikes. Nidoran♀ can also wield a couple of {{t|Ice}} and {{t|Electric}} attacks.

===Behavior===
Nidoran♀ are known to be rather docile and reserved. However, angering one can result in being poisoned by one of its toxic spines. These are thought to have developed to counteract its small size.

All members of the Nido family can sometimes put a stronger effort in battle when faced with a foe of the same gender.

===Habitat===
[[Image:Grassland.gif|right|frame|[[List of Pokémon by habitat#Grassland Pokémon|Grassland Pokémon]]]]
Nidoran♀ live in expansive savannas and plains, or any open space.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

==In the anime==
[[Image:EP100.jpg|thumb|right|Nidoran♀ with its counterpart, Nidoran♂.]]
Nidoran♀'s debut was in ''[[EP030|Sparks Fly for Magnemite]]'' as a sick Pokémon at a Pokémon Center.

A romance between male and female Nidoran was the focus in ''[[EP100|Wherefore Art Thou, Pokémon?]]''. After the battle with [[Team Rocket]], and after kissing [[Ralph]]'s {{p|Nidoran♂}}, {{Oi|Emily}}'s Nidoran♀ evolved into a Nidorina.

==In the manga==
{{Special|Blue}} had a Nidoran♀ in [[Pokémon Special]]. It later evolved into {{p|Nidorina}} and then {{p|Nidoqueen}}. She used it in Indigo Plateau to attract Fisher Wliton's Nidoran♂ and to persuade him to trade his {{p|Butterfree}} for her {{p|Weedle}}; she was stopped by {{Special|Red}}

[[Bill]] had a Nidoran♀ in [[Pokémon Zensho]] that he accidentally merged with in a transporter experiment.

==Trivia==
*Nidoran was the first Pokémon to feature gender, and even gender differences; however, their difference is much greater than later Pokémon.
*Despite the addition of Genders in all pokemon starting in Generation II, the two variations of Nidoran remained seperate species, rather than a singular species that splits down different evolution paths based on gender.
*Nidoran♀'s [[alternate coloration]] is based on {{p|Nidoran♂}}'s normal coloration.
* A Nidoran♀ [[egg]] has a chance of hatching into a Nidoran♂.
*Nidoran♀ and {{p|Nidorina}} share the same [[species]] name with their male counterparts {{p|Nidoran♂}} and {{p|Nidorino}}.
===Origin===
Nidoran♀ appears to be based on a [[wp:rabbit|rabbit]].
====Name origin====
Nidoran♀'s name may be based on the word ''needle''. Alternatively, it may be based on 二 ''ni'', two, or 二度 ''nido'', two times/two degrees, referring to there being two distinct evolutionary lines with similar names and traits. The ''♀'' in its name is an indication of its female gender.

==In other languages==
*[[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Nidoran♀
*[[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Nidoran♀
*[[List of Korean Pokémon names|Korean]]: 니드런♀ ''Nideuran♀''
*[[List of Chinese Pokémon names|Chinese (Taiwan)]]: 尼多蘭 ''Ní Duo Lán'' - Transliteration of its original name. The character 蘭 in Chinese is a character usually used in female names as opposed to male names as it means {{wp|orchid}}, a type of flower
*[[List of Chinese Pokémon names|Chinese (Hong Kong)]]: 尼美蘭 ''Ní Mìi Lán'' - Probably similar to the taiwanese translation

'''Charizard''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''リザードン''' ''Lizardon'') is a dual-type {{2t|Fire|Flying}} Pokémon.

Charizard comes with the [[ability]] {{a|Blaze}}, which increases the power of Fire-type attacks by 50% once the Pokémon has less than one-third of its maximum HP.

Charizard evolves from {{p|Charmeleon}} starting at Level 36.

Charizard is the version mascot of [[Pokémon Red and Blue Versions|Pokémon Red]] and [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions|FireRed]] Versions. It also makes an appearance on the [[Pokémon Ranger]] and [[Pokémon Stadium (English)|Pokémon Stadium]] boxarts.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Unlike its pre-evolution cousins, it has powerful wings that can allow it to {{m|fly}} at blinding speeds, although the faster it flies, the more strain is put on the Pokémon, and it must rest for a good while after doing so. It is also more vulnerable to attacks the more outspread its wings are, so its newfound flying ability should be treated with as much care as a flying Pokémon. It has a considerably higher defense than its cousins, though as noted before caution should be used about its wings, which have little defense. Its physical strength now matches the strength of its fire attacks, and it can withstand mid-high altitude pressure, allowing it to fly above mountains, and can even withstand the high pressure and extreme heat of volcanoes.
====Gender differences====
None.
===Special abilities===
Because of the wings it has grown Charizard can {{M|fly}} and can use many other {{Type2|Flying}} abilities. As its pre-evolutions could, it can use {{type2|Fire}} moves.

===Behavior===
Generally, a Charizard will be competitive. It loves to battle and spend a great amount of time training or looking for opponents. Its competitive spirit is also noteworthy, since it will never spit flames at a weaker foe. When it gets very angered, the flames on its tail become a blueish-white color. It spits fire that is hot enough to melt boulders. It is known to have unintentionally caused massive forest fires. Charizard flies around in the sky searching for strong opponents. The more experienced a Charizard, the more intense its tail flame and breath are.

===Habitat===
[[Image:Mountain.gif|right|frame|[[List of Pokémon by habitat#Mountain Pokémon|Mountain Pokémon]]]]
Charizard is mercifully rare in the wild; however, there is [[Charicific Valley|a valley]] somewhere in [[Johto]] wherein many Charizard reside. Charizard also inhabit craggy mountains and active volcanoes.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

==In the anime==
[[Image:AG136 022.jpeg|frame|left|Ash's Charizard using {{m|DragonBreath}}.]]
[[Ash Ketchum]] has a {{AP|Charizard}} that he obtained as a Charmander in ''[[EP011|Charmander the Stray Pokémon]]''. It evolved into Charmeleon in ''[[EP043|March of the Exeggutor Squad]]'' and quickly evolved again into Charizard in ''[[EP046|Attack of the Prehistoric Pokémon]]''. From the time of its becoming Charmeleon to the [[Orange Islands]] episode ''[[EP105|Charizard Chills]]'', Charizard refused to obey Ash. After ''Charizard Chills'', however, it became one of Ash's strongest Pokémon, perhaps even stronger than {{AP|Pikachu}}. Ash left Charizard in the [[Charicific Valley]] with {{jo|Liza}} in ''[[EP134|Charizard's Burning Ambition]]''. It has returned to visit and battle for him on several occasions since then, however.

When [[James]] was in the Pokémon League Entrance Exam in ''[[EP056|The Ultimate Test]]'', he used a Charizard that he eventually tried to steal.

A Charizard was used by Team Rocket in a battle against [[Ash's Totodile]] as part of an elaborate plan to capture Pikachu in ''[[EP248|One Trick Phoney]]''.
[[Image:JnJCharizardAggron.jpg|thumb|right|Jessie and James with their {{TP|Jessie|Charizard}} and {{TP|James|Aggron}}.]]
A trainer used a Charizard in the [[Verdanturf Town|Verdanturf]] [[Pokémon Contest]] in ''[[AG051|Come What May]]''.

In ''[[H017|Those Darn Electabuzz]]'', {{an|Casey}} had to help Corey Demario and his Charizard named Don get their fighting spirit back so that Corey could start pitching for The Electabuzz Baseball Team.

[[Clark]] used a Charizard and {{p|Quilava}} against [[Ash's Grovyle]] and {{AP|Glalie}} in ''[[AG128|Shocks and Bonds]]''. Clark's Charizard defeated Ash's Grovyle and lost to Ash's Glalie.

In ''[[AG176|Grating Spaces]]'', [[Delibird (Team Rocket)|Delibird]] gave a [[Jessie]] and [[James]] a Charizard and {{p|Aggron}} (James getting {{TP|James|Aggron}} and Jessie getting {{TP|Jessie|Charizard}}, respectively). However, Delibird took the two Pokémon away at the end of the episode as the Charizard and Aggron were meant for [[Butch]] and [[Cassidy]].

==In the manga==
In [[Pokémon Special]], one of {{Special|Green}}'s main Pokémon is a Charizard, evolved from his {{p|Charmander}}. [[Dome Ace Tucker|Tucker]] also has a Charizard in the [[Battle Frontier]] storyline.

In [[Electric Tale of Pikachu]], [[Ritchie]] has [[Zippo|a Charizard]], which he pitted against Ash's Charizard in their battle in the [[Indigo League]].

In [[Pocket Monsters Emerald: Challenge!! Battle Frontier]], [[Rald]], the main character's mentor has a Charizard.

In [[Pokémon Zensho]], [[Satoshi (Zensho)|Satoshi]] has a Charizard that was originally a Charmander he received from Professor Oak.

==In the TCG==
{{main|Charizard (TCG)}}
Charizard's [[Charizard (Base Set 4)|first-released TCG card]], which as part of the {{TCG|Base Set}}, was widely regarded at the height of popularity of Pokémon as the best card ever. This was because of its powerful attack, Fire Spin, and useful Pokémon Power, Energy Burn, which allowed it to convert any Energy attached to it to {{TCG|Fire}} Energy. {{m|Fire Spin}} needed four Fire Energy and could deal 100 damage, knocking out the majority of Pokémon cards. Individual Charizard cards were sold up to as much as $150. This Charizard card was reprinted in [[Wizards of the Coast]]'s {{TCG|Base Set 2}} and {{TCG|Legendary Collection}} sets.

==In the TFG==
One Charizard figure has been released.
* {{TFG|Next Quest}}: {{TFG ID|Next Quest|Charizard|1}}

==Other appearances==
===[[Super Smash Bros.]]===
Charizard makes an appearance as a Pokémon released from a [[Poké Ball]]. When released from a Poké Ball, Charizard will release a {{m|Flamethrower}} alternating between the left and right.

===[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]===
[[Image:Charizard Rock Smash.jpg|right|thumb|[[Red (game)|Pokémon Trainer]] commanding Charizard to use {{m|Rock Smash}} in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]].]]
Charizard returns as a Poké Ball Pokémon, releasing a {{m|Flamethrower}}, now diagonally, towards the ground, alternating between the left and right.
====Trophy information====
It's hard to believe, but this massive Flame Pokémon evolves from the tiny Charmander. Not only can it fly at heights of over 4,500 feet, but its flaming breath is hot enough to reduce almost anything to ashes in seconds. The flames at the end of a Charizard's tail are said to be a fairly accurate barometer of its power.

==Trivia==
* Even though Charizard is supposed to evolve from {{p|Charmeleon}} through leveling up, in [[Pokémon Snap]], a Charmeleon evolves by falling into a pit of lava. This may be due to the fact that Snap is more anime-based.
* Charizard is the only evolution of a [[starter Pokémon]] that can learn {{m|Fly}} through [[HM02]], but it can't in Red and Blue. This was changed starting with Yellow, making it possible to still get a Charizard with Fly in the original games, by trading one from a later version.
* Charizard has the same cry as {{p|Rhyhorn}}.
* Charizard has the same base stats as {{p|Typhlosion}}.
* Charizard is the first {{t|Flying}} Pokémon in [[National Dex]] order.
* To date, Charizard is the only non-legendary {{2t|Fire|Flying}}-type Pokémon. The other known two are {{p|Moltres}} and {{p|Ho-Oh}}, legendary Pokémon.
* Charizard shares the same [[species]] name as {{p|Flareon}}, {{p|Moltres}}, and {{p|Infernape}}. They are all known as Flame Pokémon.
* Charizard is of a few pokemon who's shiny form is of a vastly different Palette from it's previous states. In this case, Charmander and Charmeleon are Golden while Shiny, while Charizard is Black.
===Origin===
Charizard resembles the {{wp|European dragon}}, which had many forms in the legends that described it. It also closely resembles the fabled {{wp|Jersey Devil}} from the Pine Barrens of New Jersey. Although it is a {{type2|Fire}} Pokémon, it can learn {{type2|Dragon}} attacks, such as {{m|Dragon Rage}}.

====Name origin====
Charizard's name is a combination of the words ''char'', to burn, and ''lizard''. ''Lizardon'', on the other hand, is a combination of ''lizard'' and ''don'', which is a suffix commonly used in {{wp|dinosaur}} names.

==In other languages==

==Trivia==
*Heatran is the first Legendary Pokémon that can either be male or female. Ironically, Heatran was created by a non-reproductive technique.
*No other Pokémon has the same [[type]] combination as Heatran.
===Origin===
====Name origin====
Its name comes from the words ''{{wp|heat}}'' and possibly ''transfer''. The 'Tran' in the name may also come from "Transgender" due to the fact that Heatran is the only legendary that can have a randomized gender. The "doran" in its Japanese name can also be read as "dran", so it may be a combination of "heat" and "d'''ra'''go'''n'''".
