'''Clamperl''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''パールル''' ''Pearlulu'') is a {{type2|Water}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Gorebyss}} when [[trade]]d holding a {{DL|Evolution-inducing held item|DeepSeaScale}}; or {{p|Huntail}} when [[trade]]d holding a {{DL|Evolution-inducing held item|DeepSeaTooth}}.
==Biology==
===Physiology===
Clamperl are blue Pokémon which resemble {{wp|clam}}s or {{wp|oyster}}s. Inside their tough outer shell is a fragile blue body and a small pink head. When a Clamperl's shell is battered and dented, it is a sure sign that it is prepared for [[evolution]].

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

====Special abilities====
Clamperl mainly use their strong shells to protect themselves from predators. The shell can also be used {{m|Clamp}} down on its foes. Other than that, Clamperl's abilities as a {{type2|Water}} Pokémon are fairly standard.

While Clamperl is known to evolve while holding a [[DeepSeaScale]] or a [[DeepSeaTooth]], the two items can also magnify Clamperl's powers in certain ways (the DeepSeaScale doubles Clamperl's {{stat|Special Defense}} while the DeepSeaTooth doubles it {{stat|Special Attack}} power).

The pearls created by Clamperl can magnify {{t|Psychic}} powers. In fact, the pearls that {{p|Spoink}} carry are the ones that Clamperl make.

===Behavior===
Clamperl is quite docile, except when confronted with prey or if its pearl is stolen. Once it {{M|clamp}}s down it refuses to let go unless it determines that it is clearly outmatched.

===Habitat===
[[Image:Sea.gif|right|frame|[[List of Pokémon by habitat#Sea Pokémon|Sea Pokémon]]]]

Clamperl is a sea-dwelling Pokémon.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

Clamperl are generally filter feeders, and would eat basically anything that floats by them.

==In the anime==
Clamperl made its debut in ''[[AG093|Clamperl of Wisdom]]''. {{an|Spoink}} lost its pearl and took a blue pearl that was created by a Clamperl from [[Isaiah]]'s lab. [[Team Rocket]] also wanted to get their hands on the blue pearl as well.

Clamperl were also featured in ''[[AG095|The Evolutionary War!]]''. Trainers that lived on the [[A-B-C Islands]] had a rivalry over which Clamperl evolution was stronger.

==Trivia==
*Clamperl shares the same [[species]] name with {{p|Shellder}} and {{p|Cloyster}}. They are all known as Bivalve Pokémon.
**Clamperl is unable to breed with them, since it exclusively belongs to the {{egg3|Water 1}}, while Shellder and Cloyster exclusively belong to the {{egg3|Water 3}}.
*Clamperl is the last [[Generation III]] Pokémon in [[National Pokédex]] order that evolves by trading holding an item.
**It is also the only Pokémon that evolves by trade holding one of two different items, and the only Pokémon that evolves by trade holding an item that evolves into a Pokémon of the same generation.
*Along with {{p|Wurmple}} and {{p|Burmy}}, it is one of the only Pokémon whose multiple evolutionary paths were introduced in the same generation as itself.
*Although the {{v2|Sapphire}} Pokédex entry states that a Clamperl would grow too large for its shell, a sign of near evolution, Clamperl can only evolve if it is traded while holding a certain item, after which it will evolve instantly.
*Clamperl's shell has a different pattern on its backsprite in [[Generation IV]].
*Clamperl's [[Generation IV]] back sprite looks similar to {{p|Forretress}} and {{p|Shelgon}}'s Generation IV back sprite.
===Origin===
Clamperl's is based on an {{wp|oyster}}, but it also looks a lot like a {{wp|giant clam}}.
====Name origin====
Clamperl's name is a combination of ''clamp'' or ''{{wp|clam}}'' and ''{{wp|pearl}}''. Its Japanese name is based on the English word ''pearl''.

==In other languages==
*[[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Perlu
*[[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Coquiperl - From ''coquille'' (shell) and ''perle'' (pearl).
*[[List of Korean Pokémon names|Korean]]: 진주몽 ''Jinjumong''

'''Minun''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''マイナン''' ''Minun'') is an {{type2|Electric}} Pokémon.

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

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Plusle and Minun bear a remarkable resemblance to {{P|Pichu}} and {{P|Pikachu}}. Minun have short tails with flat minus signs on the end of them, while their cheeks and the tips of their ears are blue, and have minus signs voided in the middle.

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

====Special abilities====
Minun creates electrical pom-poms and sparks to cheer on its partners.

Minun's stats are geared towards defense whereas Plusle's stats are sweeper-oriented. Minun's Movepool is nearly identical to Plusle, except that Minun learns {{m|Charm}} and {{m|Trump Card}} and lacks {{m|Last Resort}}.

===Behavior===
Minun is a cheerful and supportive Pokémon, always encouraging comrades in battle by using the spark pouches in its cheeks. It is very compassionate towards its friends, and is known to cry upon witnessing a friend lose a battle. They are commonly referred to as cheerleaders for these actions.

===Habitat===
[[Image:Grassland.gif|left|frame|[[List of Pokémon by habitat#Grassland Pokémon|Grassland Pokémon]]]]

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

==In the anime==
[[Image:AG038.jpg|thumb|right|Minun, along with its counterpart, {{p|Plusle}}, and [[Ash's Pikachu]]]]
Minun first appeared alongside {{p|Plusle}} in ''[[AG038|A Different Kind of Misty]]''. Both Pokémon were owned by [[Thatcher]], who is responsible for protecting a lighthouse. The same Minun and Plusle appear again in ''[[AG052|Cheer Pressure]]'', where Thatcher is training them to be cheerleaders.

[[Elijah]] used Minun and Plusle as actors in ''[[AG086|Lights, Camerupt, Action]]''. The plot of the movie was that Pikachu, Plusle and Minun were setting out to rescue Princess {{p|Kirlia}} from an evil {{p|Exploud}}.

Minun and Plusle also appear as supporting characters in the film ''[[Destiny Deoxys]]'', serving as the story's comic relief. The pair helps [[Tory Lund]] to overcome his fear of Pokémon.

==In the manga==
[[Sapphire (Special)|Sapphire]] befriended a Minun at the [[Abandoned Ship]]

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

==Other appearances==
===[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]===
Excess data found on the game disc includes data for seven playable characters cut from the final roster, including Plusle and Minun as a tag team akin to the Ice Climbers. However, in the final version of the game, Minun just appears as a random trophy alongside Plusle.

==Game data==
===NPC appearances===
* [[Pokémon Pinball: Ruby & Sapphire]]: Minun combines with {{p|Plusle}} to produce an electric current blocking the entrance to the Poké Mart on the [[Sapphire Field]].
* [[Pokémon Ranger (game)|Pokémon Ranger]]: Minun is the partner of [[Lunick]]. After the end credits, it also feels a bond with [[Solana]].

'''Plusle''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''プラスル''' ''Prasle'') is an {{type2|Electric}} Pokémon.

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

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Plusle and Minun bear a remarkable resemblance to {{P|Pichu}} and {{P|Pikachu}}. Plusle have short tails with flat plus signs on the end of them, while their cheeks are circular with plus signs voided in the middle.

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

====Special abilities====
Plusle creates electrical pom-poms and sparks to cheer on its partners.

Plusle's abilities in battle are basically the same as its cousin Pikachu except that Plusle has more Special Attack power than Pikachu (without a {{DL|Stat-enhancing item|Light Ball}}) and is slightly faster. However, Plusle is unable to use {{m|Volt Tackle}} and {{m|Slam}}. On the other hand, Plusle learns more support moves than Pikachu, such as {{m|Baton Pass}}, {{m|Fake Tears}}, and {{m|Copycat}}.

===Behavior===
Plusle is a cheerful and supportive Pokémon, always encouraging comrades in battle by using the spark pouches in its cheeks. It is very compassionate towards its friends, and is known to cry upon witnessing a friend lose a battle. They are commonly referred to as cheerleaders for these actions.

===Habitat===
[[Image:Grassland.gif|left|frame|[[List of Pokémon by habitat#Grassland Pokémon|Grassland Pokémon]]]]

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

==In the anime==
[[Image:AG038.jpg|thumb|right|Plusle, along with its counterpart, {{p|Minun}}, and [[Ash's Pikachu]]]]
Plusle first appeared alongside {{p|Minun}} in ''[[AG038|A Different Kind of Misty]]''. Both Pokémon were owned by [[Thatcher]], who is responsible for protecting a lighthouse. The same Plusle and Minun appear again in ''[[AG052|Cheer Pressure]]'', where Thatcher is training them to be cheerleaders.

[[Elijah]] used Plusle and Minun as actors in ''[[AG086|Lights, Camerupt, Action]]''. The plot of the movie was that Pikachu, Plusle and Minun were setting out to rescue Princess {{p|Kirlia}} from an evil {{p|Exploud}}.

Plusle and Minun also appear as supporting characters in the film ''[[Destiny Deoxys]]'', serving as the story's comic relief. The pair helps [[Tory Lund]] to overcome his fear of Pokémon.

[[Solana]]'s Plusle also appears with her each time she herself makes an appearance, except ''[[DP071|Pokémon Ranger and the Kidnapped Riolu! Parts One]] [[DP072|and Two]]''. It is the only one so far not to be seen with a Minun partner.

==In the manga==
[[Ruby (Special)|Ruby]] befriended a Plusle at the [[Abandoned Ship]].

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

==Other appearances==
===[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]===
Excess data found on the game disc includes data for seven playable characters cut from the final roster, including Plusle and Minun as a tag team akin to the Ice Climbers. However, in the final version of the game, Plusle just appears as a random trophy alongside Minun.

==Game data==
===NPC appearances===
* [[Pokémon Pinball: Ruby & Sapphire]]: Plusle combines with {{p|Minun}} to produce an electric current blocking the entrance to the Poké Mart on the [[Sapphire Field]].
* [[Pokémon Colosseum]]: A Plusle is [[Duking]]'s favourite Pokémon. After [[Cipher]] kidnaps it, he is forced into inaction. [[Wes]] rescues the Pokémon and Plusle decides to join him as thanks.
* [[Pokémon Ranger (game)|Pokémon Ranger]]: Plusle is the partner of [[Solana]]. After the end credits, it also feels a bond with [[Lunick]].

Shellder's shell is harder than diamond and can withstand powerful attacks. When sand combines with the body fluids inside of Shellder, beautiful pearls are formed. When a Shellder latches onto the tail of a fishing {{p|Slowpoke}}, the two Pokémon undergo a molecular transformation as a {{p|Slowbro}} is created and the Shellder changes in appearance.

===Behavior===
Its tongue is always hanging out, as it sits on the sea floor. Shellder swims facing backward by opening and closing its two-piece shell. When Shellder sleeps it uses its broad tongue to burrow a hole in the sand and then sleeps in it. While Shellder is sleeping, it closes its shell, but leaves its tongue hanging out.
===Habitat===
[[Image:Sea.gif|right|frame|[[List of Pokémon by habitat#Sea Pokémon|Sea Pokémon]]]]
Shellder lives on the sea floor.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}
When Shellder's mouth is clamped on {{p|Slowbro|Slowbro's}} tail, it will feed on the [[leftovers]] of food eaten by the host {{p|Slowbro}}.

==In the anime==
[[Image:SickShellder.jpg|thumb|right|A sick Shellder in the anime]]
The first time a Shellder was seen was in ''[[EP036|The Bridge Bike Gang]]''. It was sick and [[Nurse Joy]] sent {{Ash}}, [[Misty]], and [[Brock]] over to [[Sunny Town]], (where Shellder was), to deliver some medicine. Once the Sunny Town Nurse Joy gave Shellder the medicine, it got better instantly.

[[Jessie]] captured a {{TP|Jessie|Shellder}} in ''[[EP066|The Evolution Solution]]''. Later in the episode, it bit on a {{p|Slowpoke}}'s tail, making it into a {{p|Slowbro}} and leaving Jessie's team.

==Trivia==
*It is necessary for the evolution process for {{p|Slowpoke}} into {{P|Slowbro}} and {{P|Slowking}}.
*The change in Shellder's evolution when linked to a {{P|Slowpoke}} seems to only occur when attached to a 'living' part of the creature, as with the introduction of the item [[Slowpoketail]] in [[Generation II]] does not force a spiral evolution as one might suspect.
*Shellder and {{p|Cloyster}} share the same [[species]] name with {{p|Clamperl}}. They are all known as Bivalve Pokémon.
*No sprites have Shellder's tongue unexposed, excluding its back sprites, except a frame in its Crystal sprite.
*Even though Shellder changes when it bonds with {{p|Slowpoke}} to become {{p|Slowbro}} or {{p|Slowking}}, it is not considered an evolution.
*Despite always having its tongue exposed, it cannot learn the move [[Lick (move)|Lick]].
*Though Slowbro's Silver Pokédex entry mentions that Shellder secretes venom, it cannot learn any Poison-type attacks by leveling up.
*Shellder's Red and Green sprite is symmetrical.
===Origin===
It is similar to {{wp|clam}}s and other {{wp|bivalve}}s.
====Name origin====
Shellder's name seems to be a corruption of ''shell''. It also sounds like ''shelter'', perhaps referring to {{p|Slowbro}} and {{wp|hermit crab}}s.

==Trivia==
* Venonat's antennaes change shape between its Generation I and Generation II sprites, gaining volume at the end of each stalk. They returned to their Generation I design in Generation III, and have remained that way since.
===Origin===
Venonat is most likely based on a gnat.
====Name origin====
Venonat's name is likely a combination of ''[[wp:venom|venom]]'' and ''[[wp:gnat|gnat]]'', a small insect. Its Japanese name is possibly a combination of こんちゅう ''konchū'', meaning ''insect'', and the word ''pang'', which is the sound that a {{wp|radar}} makes, referring to its radar-like eyes. It could also be a shortening of コンパウンド　アイ, ''compound eye'', both referring to its eyes and its {{a2|Compoundeyes|ability}}.

'''Pidgey''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ポッポ ''' ''Poppo'') is a dual-type {{2t|Normal|Flying}} Pokémon, the first of the very many in the Pokédex.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Pidgeotto}} starting at [[level]] 16 and then into {{p|Pidgeot}} starting at [[level]] 36.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Pidgey resembles a small, plump-bodied bird. It is a brown color, with a lighter colored throat and belly. The tips of its wings share this cream color. Both its feet and beak are a pinkish-gray color. Its plumage is fairly nondescript, particularly compared to its evolutions Pidgeotto and Pidgeot. It has black markings around its eyes and a small crest of brown and cream feathers above its eyes. It resembles other small {{type2|Flying}} Pokémon such as {{P|Starly}}, {{P|Taillow}}, and {{P|Spearow}}. However, due to the fact that (with the exception of Spearow) these Pokémon tend to be unique to a region, it is likely that they are a result of {{wp|convergent evolution}}. Pidgey's feet allow it to walk on the ground for a while but can also reach out and safely land on perches.

====Gender differences====
None.
====Special abilities====
Pidgey has an extremely sharp sense of direction and homing instincts. It can locate its nest even when far removed from familiar surroundings. Because of this, it is extremely easy to train to deliver messages.

===Behavior===
Pidgey are very common and can be seen in a variety of environments. It is a docile Pokémon, and generally prefers to flee from its enemies rather than fight them. Pidgey's small size permits it to easily hide in long grass, where it is typically found foraging for small insects. It is known to flush out potential prey from long grass by flapping its wings rapidly. This maneuver also serves to protect Pidgey from enemies. If disturbed, a Pidgey is capable of sending a blinding cloud of dust into the air, permitting it to make its escape. This evasive technique can also be applied to battles. While Pidgey generally do not like to fight, they have been known to strike with surprising fierceness when they are cornered. While Pidgey make ideal targets for young trainers, due to their temperaments, it is not unheard of for novice trainers to be seriously injured by a panicked Pidgey.

===Habitat===
[[Image:Forest.gif|right|frame|[[List of Pokémon by habitat#Forest Pokémon|Forest Pokémon]]]]
Pidgey typically dwell in forests with thick growth and large trees. They usually live alongside {{p|Rattata}}. They are very common.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

Pidgey mainly eat {{P|Weedle}}, {{p|Caterpie}}, {{p|Wurmple}}, and other small insects.

==In the anime==
[[Image:Orville.jpg|thumb|right|[[Orville]], a Pidgey from ''[[EP211|Fly Me to the Moon]]'']]
===Major appearances===
Pidgey first appeared in ''[[EP001|Pokémon - I Choose You!]]''. {{Ash}} tried capturing it, but failed because {{AP|Pikachu}} would not obey him.

{{an|Casey}} has a Pidgey, seen in her first appearance, ''[[EP118|The Double Trouble Header]]''.

Many Pidgey were featured in ''[[EP164|Carrying On!]]'' as mail-Pidgey, owned by Malachi and his grandfather.

[[Wilbur]], guardian of [[Pudgy Pidgey Isle]], helped to teach a Pidgey named [[Orville]] how to fly in ''[[EP211|Fly Me to the Moon]]''. Nearly all the other Pidgey on the island were too large for flight.

[[Professor Oak]] captured a Pidgey just before ''[[EP245|Will the Real Oak Please Stand Up?]]''. He used it to blast off [[Team Rocket]].

===Minor appearances===
Pidgey are frequently seen in the background of many episodes flying in packs of ten or more. Sometimes they may appear in town centers or fields nearby to Ash and co. and usually fly away due to any local disturbance. Their appearances range from seemingly any anime episode, notably, ''[[DP073|Crossing Paths]]'' and ''[[DP071|Pokémon Ranger and the Kidnapped Riolu! Part One]]'', as well as movies, such as ''[[The Rise of Darkrai]]'' and ''[[Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]''.

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

Team Rocket mistook a Pidgey for a {{p|Ho-Oh}} in ''[[AG178|Battling the Enemy Within]]''.

===Pokédex entries===
* [[EP001]]: "Pidgey is a Flying Pokémon. Among all the Flying Pokémon it is the gentlest and easiest to capture. A perfect target for the beginning Pokémon trainer to test his Pokémon's skills. Pidgey's {{m|Gust}} power creates tornadoes. It also has a {{m|Sand-Attack}}."

==In the manga==
[[Professor Oak]] had a Pidgey in [[Electric Tale of Pikachu]].

===In the Pokémon Special manga===
Pidgey makes a couple of cameos in the [[Red, Green & Blue chapter (Special)|Red, Green & Blue]] chapter; in ''[[PS002|Bulbasaur, Come Home!]]'' as one of the Pokémon that escapes from [[Professor Oak's Laboratory]] and in ''[[PS009|...But Fearow Itself!]]'' when a frozen one is pictured by [[Bill]] in his explanation about how to stop a {{t|flying}} Pokémon. Also, the [[Kanto Safari Zone|Safari Zone's]] tour guide is an automated robotic Pidgey.

==Trivia==
* In the [[Generation I]] and {{Gen|II}} games as well as {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, it is the most common land Pokémon available, the second most common being {{p|Rattata}}.
* Pidgey was originally going to be named "Pidge."
* {{Ash}} attempted to capture one in the [[EP001|first episode]] of the {{pkmn|anime}}; however, he failed. He would [[EP003|later]] capture its [[Ash's Pidgeot|evolved form]].
* Pidgey is the first {{t|Normal}} Pokémon in [[National Pokédex]] order.
* Pidgey shares the same [[species]] name with {{p|Spearow}} and {{p|Natu}}. They are all known as Tiny Bird Pokémon.
* Pidgey is commonly referred to in a meme on *chan sites in which a boy ignores his distraught girlfriend since he has found a {{shiny2}} Pidgey.
*In [[EP002]], it is shown that the [[Pokémon Center]] in [[Viridian City]] contains a cuckoo clock with a green Pidgey in it.
*Pidgey's Gold and Silver sprite is tinged pink; this appears in no other games.
*In all the games sprites, Pidgey has 3 claws, but in the anime, it has 4.
* Although Pidgey has 3 feathers above its head, they were shown running along its back in the [[Generation I]] games back sprites. Oddly enough, this may have been a side effect of the poor quality back sprites of that generation.
===Origin===
It shares some similarities with pigeons, and there have been some references to Pidgey Mail, alluding to {{wp|homing pigeon}}s.
====Name origin====
Pidgey's name could be a corruption of ''{{wp|pigeon}}'' or a combination of that with the word ''{{wp|Budgerigar|budgie}}''. Its Japanese name appears to be the onomatopoeia of the sound a pigeon makes, ポッポッポ ''poppoppo''.

==In other languages==
*[[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Taubsi - From ''Taube'' (pigeon).
*[[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Roucool - From ''roucoule'' (coo) and English ''cool''.

==Trivia==
*Cacnea and its evolution, {{p|Cacturne}}, are two of the few Pokémon which aren't {{t|Steel}}, {{t|Ground}} or {{type2|Rock}} which are unharmed by sandstorms. This is because of their ability, {{a|Sand Veil}}. The other Pokémon who share this trait are {{p|Cleffa}} line with {{a|Magic Guard}}, {{p|Psyduck}} line with {{a|Cloud Nine}} and Rayquaza with {{a|Air Lock}}.

===Origin===
It is based on a {{wp|cactus}}. It can also resemble a Halloween {{wp|Jack-o-lantern}}. This is made even more apparent in its shiny form, which is orange.
====Name origin====
Cacnea's name is based on ''cactus''. Its Japanese name is based on 仙人掌 ''saboten'', cactus. ''Nea'' may come from ''needle''.

{{Infobox location

|generation={{gen|IV}}
}}

'''Victory Road''' (Japanese: '''チャンピオンロード''' ''Champion Road'') is the final journey one must take before they can face the [[Elite Four]]. Like the other Victory Roads from previous generations, there are three levels. In order to get through the cave, {{m|Surf}}, {{m|Strength}}, {{m|Rock Smash}}, {{m|Waterfall}}, and {{m|Rock Climb}} are required.

After the Elite Four have been defeated, and the player has become the Champion and has the [[National Pokédex]], a previously-blocked path will be open, which leads to {{rt|224}}. Along the path, a young woman named [[Marley]] will need the player's help to get through a {{m2|Defog|foggy}} area of the cave.

In {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}, the entrance to the cave was only one tile wide; this was increased to three in {{game|Platinum}} with a small [[Poké Ball]] carving overhead.

====Special abilities====
Lapras can sing Pokémon and people to sleep and can carry Pokémon and people on their backs. Some Lapras are able to develop {{t|Psychic}} abilities such as telepathy, like the one belonging to [[Santa Claus]] or [[Satoshi (Zensho)|Satoshi's]] in [[Pokémon Zensho]]. Lapras has the rare ability (among fellow {{type2|Water}} Pokémon) to wield {{t|Electric}}al attacks.

===Behavior===
Lapras are a social Pokémon, and swim through the sea in large pods. They keep track of their fellow pod members through use of high-pitched songs they constantly sing, much like whales. Unfortunately they are very docile and do not like to fight, and this has made them an easy target for hunters. They are currently very rare in the wild. Their songs have become very sorrowful in recent times as it has become harder and harder for these peaceful Pokémon to find others of their kind. They are highly intelligent, and have been said to be able to learn human speech.

===Habitat===
[[Image:Sea.gif|right|frame|[[List of Pokémon by habitat#Sea Pokémon|Sea Pokémon]]]]
Lapras live in cold waters in glacial regions. They are extremely rare due to hunting, and are nearly extinct.

===Diet===

==In the anime==
[[Image:Lapras of Luxury.jpg|right|thumb|210px|{{AP|Lapras}} in the anime]]
Lapras first appeared in ''[[Holiday Hi-Jynx]]''. This one helped {{Ash}} and co. reunite a {{p|Jynx}} with Santa Claus.

In ''[[EP084|The Lost Lapras]]'', Ash and co. saved a baby {{AP|Lapras}} from a trio of thugs, and then again from [[Team Rocket]]. Ash captured this Lapras and mostly used it as transportation between the islands of the [[Orange Archipelago]]. It was returned to its family in ''[[EP113|Viva Las Lapras]]''. Ash's Lapras made a return appearance in ''[[EP257|Lapras of Luxury]]''.

[[Pryce]] of Mahogany Town owns multiple Lapras in ''[[EP238|Nice Pryce Baby]]''.

In ''[[H015|Putting the Air Back in Aerodactyl]]'', multiple Lapras appear when {{an|Crystal}} whistles.

[[Solidad]] also owns a Lapras.

In ''[[DP091|One Team, Two Team, Red Team, Blue Team]]'', [[Angie]] used a Lapras in the second leg of the Pokémon Triathlon.

==In the manga==
The most notable role of Lapras in [[Pokémon Special]] was being one of the Pokémon of [[Pryce]]. In his youth, Pryce lost two of his favorite Lapras in an avalanche, just as the {{pkmn|egg}} borne by them hatched. Unable to get over his loss, Pryce swore to save his Lapras and thus began researching into time travel, setting the events of the [[Johto]] saga in motion. Eventually, Pryce was able to capture {{p|Celebi}} and enter time, only to lose Celebi as the [[Poké Ball]] containing it was shattered, causing him to be unable to override time any further. However, the baby Lapras, Hewger, was able to enter the time in which Pryce's Lapras were separated, and the family enjoyed a happy reunion while Pryce was eventually lost in time.

In [[Electric Tale of Pikachu|The Electric Tale of Pikachu]], Ash saves a Lapras from a swarm of {{p|Krabby}} tormenting it. Like in the {{pkmn|anime}}, Ash used this Lapras as a mode of transportation through the [[Orange Archipelago|Orange Islands]] saga. It is not known in this version if he releases it.

==In the TCG==

===NPC appearances===
* [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon 2]]: Lapras is the Pokémon that ferries people to the [[Hidden Land]]. When {{OBP|Wigglytuff|Mystery Dungeon 2 character}} explored the [[Brine Cave]] and found the strange marking on the wall there, Lapras asked Wigglytuff not to investigate it further to keep the Hidden Land a secret. When the player and partner had to get to the Hidden Land to save the world, Lapras responded to their presence by the marking and took them there.

==Trivia==
*Lapras was originally going to be called "Ness," derived from the {{wp|Loch Ness monster}}, but it was changed before {{game|Red and Blue|s}} were released.
*It was once speculated that {{p|Shellos}} was to be a [[baby Pokémon|pre-evolution]] of Lapras. This was eventually proven to be {{p2|Gastrodon|false}}.
*Lapras can learn three of the four [[One-hit knockout move|one-hit-knockout moves]]. The only one it cannot learn is {{m|Guillotine}}.
*Lapras is one of the few [[Generation I]] Pokémon that have no evolutionary relatives, along with {{p|Farfetch'd}}, {{p|Kangaskhan}}, {{p|Pinsir}}, {{p|Tauros}}, {{p|Aerodactyl}}, and {{p|Ditto}}.
*Excluding all Legendary Pokémon, Lapras has the highest base stat total of a non-evolved Pokémon (with a grand total of 535 stat points). Though Lapras used to be the second, as {{p|Snorlax}} used to hold this honor, having 5 more stat points than Lapras, until [[Generation IV|Gen IV]], when {{p|Munchlax}} was introduced.
===Origin===
This [[Pokémon]] is based on the fabled {{wp|Loch Ness Monster}} in Scotland. The creature and this Pokémon are said to resemble the marine reptile known as the {{wp|plesiosaurus}}. However, Lapras does not have the plesiosaurus's long neck, whereas the body is very similar to the creature that is said to be in Loch Ness. Lapras's intelligence, singing and rarity can be comparable with some {{wp|cetacean}}s.
====Name origin====
Lapras's name seems to be a corruption of its Japanese name, Laplace. The name may be a reference to {{wp|Pierre-Simon Laplace}}, a mathematician who wrote several books on the mathematical properties of the sea and tides, or also from the French word {{tt|''la place''|seat}}, referring to how passengers sit on its back like a seat to be ferried across bodies of water. Its name might also be derived from {{wp|Lapis}}, a bright blue gem.

'''Lugia''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ルギア''' ''Lugia'') is a dual-type {{2t|Psychic|Flying}} [[legendary Pokémon]].

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

Lugia is the [[version mascot]] of [[Pokémon Gold and Silver Versions|Pokémon Silver]], appearing on the boxart.

In {{Pokémon XD}}, [[Shadow Lugia]], codenamed '''XD001''', is a main part of the storyline, and [[Cipher]]'s ultimate [[Shadow Pokémon]].

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Lugia are very large creatures which bear a resemblance to something between a dragon, a plesiosaur, and a bird. They are primarily pale silver-white, but have blue undersides with slightly varying tones. Their bodies are smooth and streamlined, with the exception of dark blue or black spike-like protrusions which run down the length of their back, and two smaller ones on the ends of their tails. It has five finger-like appendages at the end of its wings. Due to a somewhat similar appearance, they may be related to {{p|Latios}} and {{p|Latias}}.

====Gender differences====
This is a genderless species. During intense situations, Lugia can communicate with humans by means of telekinesis, and the Lugia's voice featured in ''[[The Power of One]]'' does come across as male, though it has no solidly identified gender. However, Unlike most legendary Pokémon, young Lugia have been observed, suggesting that there is a breeding population of these creatures.

===Special abilities===
Lugia are thought to be the leaders of the [[legendary birds]] of [[Kanto]]. Much like the birds, it possesses the ability to control the weather, most notably it can calm storms. It is said that a light flutter of their wings is capable of causing winds powerful enough to blow houses over. If it were to flap its wings it could hypothetically spawn storms lasting as much as 40 days. They are highly intelligent, and because of the devastating power it could accidentally inflict, it isolates itself deep underwater.

Lugia is the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] that learns {{m|Aeroblast}}.

===Behavior===
Not very much is known about the behavior of Lugia, as they are fantastically rare and elusive Pokémon. Lugia have been observed with their offspring, suggesting that unlike other [[legendary Pokémon]], they have a breeding population. They are generally calm and benevolent, it is believed the reason they tend to isolate themselves from civilization is to protect humans from their great powers. However, like all creatures, they can become enraged if they feel threatened, particularly if they are protecting their young. Because of this contact with Lugia is best done carefully, most attempts at capturing one of these magnificent creatures has ended poorly, and is ill advised as their role in regulating world climate is still not well understood.

===Habitat===
[[Image:Rare.gif|right|frame|[[List of Pokémon by habitat#Rare Pokémon|Rare Pokémon]]]]
Lugia usually live deep in the ocean, not because they are natural sea-dwellers, but because they fear that they can accidentally cause untold devastation. Lugia are typically spotted near the [[Whirl Islands]] of Johto.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

==In the anime==
[[Image:Pic2_(7).png|thumb|right|225px|{{OBP|Lugia|The Power of One}} in the anime]]

A {{OBP|Lugia|The Power of One}} was featured in ''[[The Power of One]]''.

A parent Lugia and its child (nicknamed {{jo|Silver}} by [[Oliver]]) lived near [[Silver Rock Isle]] in the [[Whirl Islands]]. [[Dr. Namba]] attempted to capture both the parent Lugia and Silver for [[Giovanni]] in ''[[EP220|The Mystery is History]]'', ''[[EP221|A Parent Trapped]]'' and ''[[EP222|A Promise is a Promise]]''.

==In the manga==
The Elite Four tried to exterminate humans using a Lugia in the Yellow Saga. The [[Mask of Ice]] caught a Lugia, but subsequently released it.

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

==In the TFG==
One Lugia figure has been released.

* {{TFG|Next Quest}}: {{TFG ID|Next Quest|Lugia|6}}

==Other appearances==
[[Image:Lugia Brawl.jpg|right|thumb|Lugia in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]]]
===[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]/[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl|Brawl]]===
When released from a [[Poké Ball]], Lugia will fly up and return in the background where it unleashes a powerful {{m|Aeroblast}} on the stage.

====Melee trophy information====
The waters of the [[Whirl Islands]] are home to this legendary Pokémon, whom very few have seen. Lugia live quietly in the deepest ocean trenches for one very good reason: its combined aerial and psychic powers are so strong as to be extremely dangerous. The special moves of this gargantuan creature include the destructive wind assault known as Aeroblast.

==Trivia==
* Lugia is so far the only legendary Pokémon to appear in three consecutive regular Pokémon episodes.
* The fins on Lugia's back, tail and around its eyes have been seen equally as black or blue.
* Lugia and {{p|Latias}} are the only legendary Pokémon in the anime to be seen being able to produce offspring.
* Before the introduction of {{g|Gold and Silver Versions|a}}, Lugia was known as "Pokémon X." In the anime, [[Dr. Namba]] also refers to Lugia as "Pokémon X."
* It is often considered to be closely related to {{p|Ho-Oh}}, even sometimes as its polar opposite, represented by [[Pokémon Gold and Silver Versions|Silver]] is Lugia as "guardian of the seas", and [[Pokémon Gold and Silver Versions|Gold]] represents Ho-Oh as "guardian of the skies."
* In {{2v2|Gold|Silver}}, Lugia has the same music as normal [[wild Pokémon]]. The same applies to {{p|Ho-Oh}}.
* Lugia is not the first Pokémon with its type combination in the National Dex: two other Pokémon ({{p|Natu}} and {{p|Xatu}}) come first. Also, no other Pokémon have been introduced since with the same type combination. It shares this trait with {{p|Ho-Oh}} and {{p|Celebi}}.
* Even though Lugia is the "Diving Pokémon," and can effectively use {{t|Water}} and {{type2|Ice}} moves, it is not a {{type2|Water}} Pokémon itself. It shares this trait with Dratini and Dragonair, who also live in water. Despite its species, it also can only learn the move {{m|Dive}} through [[HM]] in [[Generation III]] and [[move tutor]] in [[Generation IV]].
* Lugia is the only non-{{type2|Water}} to learn {{m|Hydro Pump}} by level-up.
*Lugia was mentioned in the final episode of {{wp|ER (TV series)|ER}}, a patient stated that "I am the Chosen One, I am Lugia".

===Origin===
Lugia is based on {{wp|Ryūjin}}.

Appearance-wise, Lugia seems to be based on the {{wp|Stegosaurus}} (back plates and tail spikes) and the {{wp|Pleisosaurus}} (long neck and swimming ability).
====Name origin====
Lugia's name may come from ''{{wp|Lutetium}}'', a silverish element. Possibly also ''lugeo'', meaning to lie dormant, alluding to the way Lugia lies at the bottom of the sea. The Lu- may come from ''luna'', meaning moon.

'''Lugia''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ルギア''' ''Lugia'') is a dual-type {{2t|Psychic|Flying}} [[legendary Pokémon]].

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

Lugia is the [[version mascot]] of [[Pokémon Gold and Silver Versions|Pokémon Silver]], appearing on the boxart.

In {{Pokémon XD}}, [[Shadow Lugia]], codenamed '''XD001''', is a main part of the storyline, and [[Cipher]]'s ultimate [[Shadow Pokémon]].

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Lugia are very large creatures which bear a resemblance to something between a dragon, a plesiosaur, and a bird. They are primarily pale silver-white, but have blue undersides with slightly varying tones. Their bodies are smooth and streamlined, with the exception of dark blue or black spike-like protrusions which run down the length of their back, and two smaller ones on the ends of their tails. It has five finger-like appendages at the end of its wings. Due to a somewhat similar appearance, they may be related to {{p|Latios}} and {{p|Latias}}.

====Gender differences====
This is a genderless species. During intense situations, Lugia can communicate with humans by means of telekinesis, and it's voice does come across as male, though it has no solidly identified gender. However, Unlike most legendary Pokémon, young Lugia have been observed, suggesting that there is a breeding population of these creatures.

===Special abilities===
Lugia are thought to be the leaders of the [[legendary birds]] of [[Kanto]]. Much like the birds, it possesses the ability to control the weather, most notably it can calm storms. It is said that a light flutter of their wings is capable of causing winds powerful enough to blow houses over. If it were to flap its wings it could hypothetically spawn storms lasting as much as 40 days. They are highly intelligent, and because of the devastating power it could accidentally inflict, it isolates itself deep underwater.

Lugia is the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] that learns {{m|Aeroblast}}.

===Behavior===
Not very much is known about the behavior of Lugia, as they are fantastically rare and elusive Pokémon. Lugia have been observed with their offspring, suggesting that unlike other [[legendary Pokémon]], they have a breeding population. They are generally calm and benevolent, it is believed the reason they tend to isolate themselves from civilization is to protect humans from their great powers. However, like all creatures, they can become enraged if they feel threatened, particularly if they are protecting their young. Because of this contact with Lugia is best done carefully, most attempts at capturing one of these magnificent creatures has ended poorly, and is ill advised as their role in regulating world climate is still not well understood.

===Habitat===
[[Image:Rare.gif|right|frame|[[List of Pokémon by habitat#Rare Pokémon|Rare Pokémon]]]]
Lugia usually live deep in the ocean, not because they are natural sea-dwellers, but because they fear that they can accidentally cause untold devastation. Lugia are typically spotted near the [[Whirl Islands]] of Johto.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

==In the anime==
[[Image:Pic2_(7).png|thumb|right|225px|{{OBP|Lugia|The Power of One}} in the anime]]

A {{OBP|Lugia|The Power of One}} was featured in ''[[The Power of One]]''.

A parent Lugia and its child (nicknamed {{jo|Silver}} by [[Oliver]]) lived near [[Silver Rock Isle]] in the [[Whirl Islands]]. [[Dr. Namba]] attempted to capture both the parent Lugia and Silver for [[Giovanni]] in ''[[EP220|The Mystery is History]]'', ''[[EP221|A Parent Trapped]]'' and ''[[EP222|A Promise is a Promise]]''.

==In the manga==
The Elite Four tried to exterminate humans using a Lugia in the Yellow Saga. The [[Mask of Ice]] caught a Lugia, but subsequently released it.

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

==In the TFG==
One Lugia figure has been released.

==Other appearances==
[[Image:Lugia Brawl.jpg|right|thumb|Lugia in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]]]
===[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]/[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl|Brawl]]===
When released from a [[Poké Ball]], Lugia will fly up and return in the background where it unleashes a powerful {{m|Aeroblast}} on the stage.

====Melee trophy information====
The waters of the [[Whirl Islands]] are home to this legendary Pokémon, whom very few have seen. Lugia live quietly in the deepest ocean trenches for one very good reason: its combined aerial and psychic powers are so strong as to be extremely dangerous. The special moves of this gargantuan creature include the destructive wind assault known as Aeroblast.

==Trivia==
* Lugia is so far the only legendary Pokémon to appear in three consecutive regular Pokémon episodes.
* The fins on Lugia's back, tail and around its eyes have been seen equally as black or blue.
* Lugia and {{p|Latias}} are the only legendary Pokémon in the anime to be seen being able to produce offspring.
* Before the introduction of {{g|Gold and Silver Versions|a}}, Lugia was known as "Pokémon X." In the anime, [[Dr. Namba]] also refers to Lugia as "Pokémon X."
* It is often considered to be closely related to {{p|Ho-Oh}}, even sometimes as its polar opposite, represented by [[Pokémon Gold and Silver Versions|Silver]] is Lugia as "guardian of the seas", and [[Pokémon Gold and Silver Versions|Gold]] represents Ho-Oh as "guardian of the skies."
* In {{2v2|Gold|Silver}}, Lugia has the same music as normal [[wild Pokémon]]. The same applies to {{p|Ho-Oh}}.
* Lugia is not the first Pokémon with its type combination in the National Dex: two other Pokémon ({{p|Natu}} and {{p|Xatu}}) come first. Also, no other Pokémon have been introduced since with the same type combination. It shares this trait with {{p|Ho-Oh}} and {{p|Celebi}}.
* Even though Lugia is the "Diving Pokémon," and can effectively use {{t|Water}} and {{type2|Ice}} moves, it is not a {{type2|Water}} Pokémon itself. It shares this trait with Dratini and Dragonair, who also live in water. Despite its species, it also can only learn the move {{m|Dive}} through [[HM]] in [[Generation III]] and [[move tutor]] in [[Generation IV]].
* Lugia is the only non-{{type2|Water}} to learn {{m|Hydro Pump}} by level-up.
*Lugia was mentioned in the final episode of {{wp|ER (TV series)|ER}}, a patient stated that "I am the Chosen One, I am Lugia".

===Origin===
Lugia is based on {{wp|Ryūjin}}.

Appearance-wise, Lugia seems to be based on the {{wp|Stegosaurus}} (back plates and tail spikes) and the {{wp|Pleisosaurus}} (long neck and swimming ability).
====Name origin====
Lugia's name may come from ''{{wp|Lutetium}}'', a silverish element. Possibly also ''lugeo'', meaning to lie dormant, alluding to the way Lugia lies at the bottom of the sea. The Lu- may come from ''luna'', meaning moon.

'''Lugia''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ルギア''' ''Lugia'') is a dual-type {{2t|Psychic|Flying}} [[legendary Pokémon]].

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

Lugia is the [[version mascot]] of [[Pokémon Gold and Silver Versions|Pokémon Silver]], appearing on the boxart.

In {{Pokémon XD}}, [[Shadow Lugia]], codenamed '''XD001''', is a main part of the storyline, and [[Cipher]]'s ultimate [[Shadow Pokémon]].

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Lugia are very large creatures which bear a resemblance to something between a dragon, a plesiosaur, and a bird. They are primarily pale silver-white, but have blue undersides with slightly varying tones. Their bodies are smooth and streamlined, with the exception of dark blue or black spike-like protrusions which run down the length of their back, and two smaller ones on the ends of their tails. It has five finger-like appendages at the end of its wings. Due to a somewhat similar appearance, they may be related to {{p|Latios}} and {{p|Latias}}.

====Gender differences====
This is a genderless species. During intense situations, Lugia can communicate with humans by means of telekinesis, and it's voice does come across as male, though it has no solidly identified gender.

===Special abilities===
Lugia are thought to be the leaders of the [[legendary birds]] of [[Kanto]]. Much like the birds, it possesses the ability to control the weather, most notably it can calm storms. It is said that a light flutter of their wings is capable of causing winds powerful enough to blow houses over. If it were to flap its wings it could hypothetically spawn storms lasting as much as 40 days. They are highly intelligent, and because of the devastating power it could accidentally inflict, it isolates itself deep underwater.

Lugia is the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] that learns {{m|Aeroblast}}.

===Behavior===
Not very much is known about the behavior of Lugia, as they are fantastically rare and elusive Pokémon. Lugia have been observed with their offspring, suggesting that unlike other [[legendary Pokémon]], they have a breeding population. They are generally calm and benevolent, it is believed the reason they tend to isolate themselves from civilization is to protect humans from their great powers. However, like all creatures, they can become enraged if they feel threatened, particularly if they are protecting their young. Because of this contact with Lugia is best done carefully, most attempts at capturing one of these magnificent creatures has ended poorly, and is ill advised as their role in regulating world climate is still not well understood.

===Habitat===
[[Image:Rare.gif|right|frame|[[List of Pokémon by habitat#Rare Pokémon|Rare Pokémon]]]]
Lugia usually live deep in the ocean, not because they are natural sea-dwellers, but because they fear that they can accidentally cause untold devastation. Lugia are typically spotted near the [[Whirl Islands]] of Johto.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

==In the anime==
[[Image:Pic2_(7).png|thumb|right|225px|{{OBP|Lugia|The Power of One}} in the anime]]

A {{OBP|Lugia|The Power of One}} was featured in ''[[The Power of One]]''.

A parent Lugia and its child (nicknamed {{jo|Silver}} by [[Oliver]]) lived near [[Silver Rock Isle]] in the [[Whirl Islands]]. [[Dr. Namba]] attempted to capture both the parent Lugia and Silver for [[Giovanni]] in ''[[EP220|The Mystery is History]]'', ''[[EP221|A Parent Trapped]]'' and ''[[EP222|A Promise is a Promise]]''.

==In the manga==
The Elite Four tried to exterminate humans using a Lugia in the Yellow Saga. The [[Mask of Ice]] caught a Lugia, but subsequently released it.

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

==In the TFG==
One Lugia figure has been released.

==Other appearances==
[[Image:Lugia Brawl.jpg|right|thumb|Lugia in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]]]
===[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]/[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl|Brawl]]===
When released from a [[Poké Ball]], Lugia will fly up and return in the background where it unleashes a powerful {{m|Aeroblast}} on the stage.

====Melee trophy information====
The waters of the [[Whirl Islands]] are home to this legendary Pokémon, whom very few have seen. Lugia live quietly in the deepest ocean trenches for one very good reason: its combined aerial and psychic powers are so strong as to be extremely dangerous. The special moves of this gargantuan creature include the destructive wind assault known as Aeroblast.

==Trivia==
* Lugia is so far the only legendary Pokémon to appear in three consecutive regular Pokémon episodes.
* The fins on Lugia's back, tail and around its eyes have been seen equally as black or blue.
* Lugia and {{p|Latias}} are the only legendary Pokémon in the anime to be seen being able to produce offspring.
* Before the introduction of {{g|Gold and Silver Versions|a}}, Lugia was known as "Pokémon X." In the anime, [[Dr. Namba]] also refers to Lugia as "Pokémon X."
* It is often considered to be closely related to {{p|Ho-Oh}}, even sometimes as its polar opposite, represented by [[Pokémon Gold and Silver Versions|Silver]] is Lugia as "guardian of the seas", and [[Pokémon Gold and Silver Versions|Gold]] represents Ho-Oh as "guardian of the skies."
* In {{2v2|Gold|Silver}}, Lugia has the same music as normal [[wild Pokémon]]. The same applies to {{p|Ho-Oh}}.
* Lugia is not the first Pokémon with its type combination in the National Dex: two other Pokémon ({{p|Natu}} and {{p|Xatu}}) come first. Also, no other Pokémon have been introduced since with the same type combination. It shares this trait with {{p|Ho-Oh}} and {{p|Celebi}}.
* Even though Lugia is the "Diving Pokémon," and can effectively use {{t|Water}} and {{type2|Ice}} moves, it is not a {{type2|Water}} Pokémon itself. It shares this trait with Dratini and Dragonair, who also live in water. Despite its species, it also can only learn the move {{m|Dive}} through [[HM]] in [[Generation III]] and [[move tutor]] in [[Generation IV]].
* Lugia is the only non-{{type2|Water}} to learn {{m|Hydro Pump}} by level-up.
*Lugia was mentioned in the final episode of {{wp|ER (TV series)|ER}}, a patient stated that "I am the Chosen One, I am Lugia".

===Origin===
Lugia is based on {{wp|Ryūjin}}.

Appearance-wise, Lugia seems to be based on the {{wp|Stegosaurus}} (back plates and tail spikes) and the {{wp|Pleisosaurus}} (long neck and swimming ability).
====Name origin====
Lugia's name may come from ''{{wp|Lutetium}}'', a silverish element. Possibly also ''lugeo'', meaning to lie dormant, alluding to the way Lugia lies at the bottom of the sea. The Lu- may come from ''luna'', meaning moon.

'''Lugia''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ルギア''' ''Lugia'') is a dual-type {{2t|Psychic|Flying}} [[legendary Pokémon]].

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

Lugia is the [[version mascot]] of [[Pokémon Gold and Silver Versions|Pokémon Silver]], appearing on the boxart.

In {{Pokémon XD}}, [[Shadow Lugia]], codenamed '''XD001''', is a main part of the storyline, and [[Cipher]]'s ultimate [[Shadow Pokémon]].

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Lugia are very large creatures which bear a resemblance to something between a dragon, a plesiosaur, and a bird. They are primarily pale silver-white, but have blue undersides with slightly varying tones. Their bodies are smooth and streamlined, with the exception of dark blue or black spike-like protrusions which run down the length of their back, and two smaller ones on the ends of their tails. It has five finger-like appendages at the end of its wings. Due to a somewhat similar appearance, they may be related to {{p|Latios}} and {{p|Latias}}.

====Gender differences====
This is a genderless species. During intense situations, Lugia can communicate with humans by means of telekinesis, and it's voice does come across as male, though it has no solidly identified gender.
However, Unlike most legendary Pokémon, young Lugia have been observed, suggesting that there is a breeding population of these creatures.

===Special abilities===
Lugia are thought to be the leaders of the [[legendary birds]] of [[Kanto]]. Much like the birds, it possesses the ability to control the weather, most notably it can calm storms. It is said that a light flutter of their wings is capable of causing winds powerful enough to blow houses over. If it were to flap its wings it could hypothetically spawn storms lasting as much as 40 days. They are highly intelligent, and because of the devastating power it could accidentally inflict, it isolates itself deep underwater.

Lugia is the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] that learns {{m|Aeroblast}}.

===Behavior===
Not very much is known about the behavior of Lugia, as they are fantastically rare and elusive Pokémon. Lugia have been observed with their offspring, suggesting that unlike other [[legendary Pokémon]], they have a breeding population. They are generally calm and benevolent, it is believed the reason they tend to isolate themselves from civilization is to protect humans from their great powers. However, like all creatures, they can become enraged if they feel threatened, particularly if they are protecting their young. Because of this contact with Lugia is best done carefully, most attempts at capturing one of these magnificent creatures has ended poorly, and is ill advised as their role in regulating world climate is still not well understood.

===Habitat===
[[Image:Rare.gif|right|frame|[[List of Pokémon by habitat#Rare Pokémon|Rare Pokémon]]]]
Lugia usually live deep in the ocean, not because they are natural sea-dwellers, but because they fear that they can accidentally cause untold devastation. Lugia are typically spotted near the [[Whirl Islands]] of Johto.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

==In the anime==
[[Image:Pic2_(7).png|thumb|right|225px|{{OBP|Lugia|The Power of One}} in the anime]]

A {{OBP|Lugia|The Power of One}} was featured in ''[[The Power of One]]''.

A parent Lugia and its child (nicknamed {{jo|Silver}} by [[Oliver]]) lived near [[Silver Rock Isle]] in the [[Whirl Islands]]. [[Dr. Namba]] attempted to capture both the parent Lugia and Silver for [[Giovanni]] in ''[[EP220|The Mystery is History]]'', ''[[EP221|A Parent Trapped]]'' and ''[[EP222|A Promise is a Promise]]''.

==In the manga==
The Elite Four tried to exterminate humans using a Lugia in the Yellow Saga. The [[Mask of Ice]] caught a Lugia, but subsequently released it.

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

==In the TFG==
One Lugia figure has been released.

* {{TFG|Next Quest}}: {{TFG ID|Next Quest|Lugia|6}}

==Other appearances==
[[Image:Lugia Brawl.jpg|right|thumb|Lugia in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]]]
===[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]/[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl|Brawl]]===
When released from a [[Poké Ball]], Lugia will fly up and return in the background where it unleashes a powerful {{m|Aeroblast}} on the stage.

====Melee trophy information====
The waters of the [[Whirl Islands]] are home to this legendary Pokémon, whom very few have seen. Lugia live quietly in the deepest ocean trenches for one very good reason: its combined aerial and psychic powers are so strong as to be extremely dangerous. The special moves of this gargantuan creature include the destructive wind assault known as Aeroblast.

==Trivia==
* Lugia is so far the only legendary Pokémon to appear in three consecutive regular Pokémon episodes.
* The fins on Lugia's back, tail and around its eyes have been seen equally as black or blue.
* Lugia and {{p|Latias}} are the only legendary Pokémon in the anime to be seen being able to produce offspring.
* Before the introduction of {{g|Gold and Silver Versions|a}}, Lugia was known as "Pokémon X." In the anime, [[Dr. Namba]] also refers to Lugia as "Pokémon X."
* It is often considered to be closely related to {{p|Ho-Oh}}, even sometimes as its polar opposite, represented by [[Pokémon Gold and Silver Versions|Silver]] is Lugia as "guardian of the seas", and [[Pokémon Gold and Silver Versions|Gold]] represents Ho-Oh as "guardian of the skies."
* In {{2v2|Gold|Silver}}, Lugia has the same music as normal [[wild Pokémon]]. The same applies to {{p|Ho-Oh}}.
* Lugia is not the first Pokémon with its type combination in the National Dex: two other Pokémon ({{p|Natu}} and {{p|Xatu}}) come first. Also, no other Pokémon have been introduced since with the same type combination. It shares this trait with {{p|Ho-Oh}} and {{p|Celebi}}.
* Even though Lugia is the "Diving Pokémon," and can effectively use {{t|Water}} and {{type2|Ice}} moves, it is not a {{type2|Water}} Pokémon itself. It shares this trait with Dratini and Dragonair, who also live in water. Despite its species, it also can only learn the move {{m|Dive}} through [[HM]] in [[Generation III]] and [[move tutor]] in [[Generation IV]].
* Lugia is the only non-{{type2|Water}} to learn {{m|Hydro Pump}} by level-up.
*Lugia was mentioned in the final episode of {{wp|ER (TV series)|ER}}, a patient stated that "I am the Chosen One, I am Lugia".

===Origin===
Lugia is based on {{wp|Ryūjin}}.

Appearance-wise, Lugia seems to be based on the {{wp|Stegosaurus}} (back plates and tail spikes) and the {{wp|Pleisosaurus}} (long neck and swimming ability).
====Name origin====
Lugia's name may come from ''{{wp|Lutetium}}'', a silverish element. Possibly also ''lugeo'', meaning to lie dormant, alluding to the way Lugia lies at the bottom of the sea. The Lu- may come from ''luna'', meaning moon.

'''Wailmer''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ホエルコ''' ''Hoeruko'') is a {{type2|Water}} [[Pokémon]].

It [[Evolution|evolve]]s into {{p|Wailord}} starting at [[level]] 40.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Wailmer resembles a large spherical whale with no tail. It has a dark blue topside and a tan underbelly with grooves. It has two fins that have finger-like appendages, baleen plates that resemble teeth and a blowhole on the top of its head.
====Gender differences====
None.

====Special abilities====
Wailmer can fill itself with water and turn itself into a bouncy ball. The more water it sucks in, the bouncier it becomes.

===Behavior===
They usually frolic in the ocean waves, breaching and eating. They are known to be very playful Pokémon.

===Habitat===
They live in the ocean, but occasionally can bounce onto the shoreline.
[[Image:Sea.gif|right|frame|[[List of Pokémon by habitat#Sea Pokémon|Sea Pokémon]]]]

===Diet===
They eat over a ton of food a day, which they filter with their baleen plates.

==In the anime==
[[Image:Wailmer.png|thumb|220px|Wailmer in the anime]]
Wailmer first appearance was a cameo in ''[[PK10|Pikachu's PikaBoo]]''.

[[Ross]] used a Wailmer for a Pokémon Water-Race in ''[[Pokémon Heroes]]''. Ross and Wailmer came in second while [[Misty]] and her {{TP|Misty|Corsola}} came in first.

Wailmer made a cameo in ''[[AG110|The Great Eight Fate]]'' for [[Juan]]'s [[Sootopolis City]] performance.

A Wailmer was befriended by [[Robin]], a man who was living on an uncharted island, in ''[[AG124|Island Time]]''. The Ball Whale Pokémon evolved into a Wailord in order to transport Robin and {{Ash}} and co. to a ship heading to [[Ever Grande City]], though Robin later decided that he wanted to go back to the island.

A Wailmer belonging to a {{pkmn|coordinator}} appeared in ''[[DP078|Pruning a Passel of Pals!]]'', taking part in the [[Wallace Cup]].

A Wailmer is used by one of the students of [[Pokémon Summer Academy]] in the second leg of the Pokémon Triathlon in ''[[DP091|One Team, Two Team, Red Team, Blue Team!]]''.

In [[DP109]], Ash assisted a Wailmer that was trapped in the sewers in rejoining its friends in the ocean. It later evolved into a {{p|Wailord}} in the same episode.

==Game data==
===NPC appearances===
* [[Pokémon Pinball: Ruby & Sapphire]]: Hitting the ball into Wailmer's mouth will activate Catch 'Em Mode on the [[Sapphire Field]].

*[[Pokémon Channel]]: On the beach, you can fish for Pokémon with the fishing rod and bait provided. Wailmer is uncommon, but if you reel Wailmer to the shore, you can see the tremendous size difference between Wailmer and Pikachu.

==Trivia==
*Wailmer, along with {{p|Azurill}} and {{p|Kecleon}}, was one of the first {{cat|Generation III Pokémon}} revealed, in early March of 2001.

===Origin===
Wailmer is based on a {{wp|whale}} with aspects of a beach ball, similarly to {{P|Azumarill}}.
====Name origin====
Wailmer's name is based on ''whale''. ''Wail'' may also refer to the sounds this Pokémon may create or refer to that whales sing or in this case, wail. Its Japanese name is literally 吠える子, bellowing child, but ''hoeru'' is similar in sound to the English word ''whale'', making the meaning of its name ''whale child''. ''Mer'' may come from the French word for ''sea''.

'''Dialga''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ディアルガ''' ''Dialga'') is a dual-type {{2t|Steel|Dragon}} [[legendary Pokémon]].

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

Dialga is the version mascot of [[Pokémon]] {{v|Diamond}}, appearing on the boxart.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Dialga is dinosaur-like, similar to {{p|Palkia}}, though it seems to be based off of a sauropod. It is mainly dark blue with some gray metallic portions, such as its chestplate, which has a diamond in the center. It also has various light blue spots. It has a somewhat wing-like structure on its back, and a crest on its head, resembling a type of dinosaur. Dialga also has long claws and a short tail.
====Gender differences====

Dialga is a genderless species.

====Special abilities====
Dialga has the ability to warp time by either speeding it up, slowing it down, or stopping it altogether.

Similar to most other {{type2|Dragon}}s, Dialga is capable of wielding various elemental attacks (except for {{t|Water}} attacks). Dialga can also utilize several {{t|Ground}}-, {{t|Rock}}- and {{Type2|Steel}} moves. It is one of the few Pokémon that can use {{m|Aura Sphere}}.

Dialga's powers can be amplified by the [[Type-enhancing item#Adamant Orb|Adamant Orb]].

Dialga is the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] that learns {{m|Roar of Time}} (apart from an event {{p|Darkrai}} released for the [[The Rise of Darkrai|tenth movie]] in Japan, the Toys "R" Us and [[Nintendo]] World Store Darkrai, and {{p|Smeargle}} which can {{m|Sketch}} the move).

===Behavior===
Being that Dialga, like Palkia, primarily resides in a different dimension, its behavior is nearly impossible to study. However, it has been observed in violent conflicts with [[Palkia]].

===Habitat===
Dialga lives in another dimension, and can only be summoned to the main Pokémon universe by using the [[Red Chain]].

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

==In the anime==
[[Image:Dialga 2.PNG|right|thumb|230px|{{an|Dialga}} in the anime]]
{{an|Dialga}} appears in the [[The Rise of Darkrai|tenth movie]] of the [[Pokémon anime]] along with {{an|Palkia}}. It fights with {{an|Palkia}} and {{an|Darkrai}}, nearly destroying [[Alamos Town]].

Dialga made another appearence in the [[Giratina and the Sky Warrior|eleventh movie]]. On its return trip back to its own dimension, Dialga ended up in the [[Reverse World]] and got attacked by {{an|Giratina}}, who is mad because of the fight between Dialga and Palkia which damage its world.

Dialga appears once again in [[Arceus: To a Conquering Spacetime|the twelfth movie]], this time co-starring with both other members of [[legendary titans|its trio]].

Dialga's statue appeared with its silhouette in ''[[DP036|A Secret Sphere of Influence!]]''.

Dialga's statue also appeared in [[DP110]] and [[DP111]].

Dialga also makes a cameo in the ''[[Together]]'' and ''{{so|Diamond and Pearl}}'' openings.

==In the manga==
In [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Adventure!|Pokémon DP Adventure!]], [[Hareta]] and [[Mitsumi]] set out on a journey with the intention of finding the god-like Pokémon, Dialga. Oddly, Palkia does not receive a mention.

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

==Other appearances==

===Super Smash Bros. Brawl===
[[Image:SSBBSpearPillarDialga.png|right|thumb|Dialga on Spear Pillar]]
Dialga appears as a stage Pokémon in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]], along with {{p|Palkia}}, {{p|Cresselia}}, and the [[Lake trio]] on the stage [[Spear Pillar (stage)|Spear Pillar]]. It affects the stage much differently than that of its counterpart, such as slowing down time, and even going off of its post to attack the players in the middle. It can also distort the stage, like Palkia, but only slightly and not as extreme, as well as shoot beams from various locations.

==Game data==
===NPC appearances===
{{spoilers}}
* [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon 2]]: Dialga appears in the main storyline, but mostly as [[Primal Dialga]] (Japanese: やみのディアルガ ''Dark Dialga''). In the future, because of the collapse of the [[Temporal Tower]], Dialga has lost control of itself and has entered a state of self-preservation, keeping time frozen and refusing to let it flow properly. When the player and partner return from the future and arrive at the Tower, soon to collapse, they have to battle Dialga, having almost turned Primal, to put some sense into it and restore the Tower. After this, Dialga is so grateful that it revives the player (who was erased from existence).

==Trivia==
* Dialga's US name was officially revealed on January 20th 2006, along with Palkia's name.
* Dialga has eleven resistances and one immunity, making it one of the most resistant Pokémon, second only to {{p|Magnemite}} and its two evolutions, although the aforementioned has more weaknesses as well. It is also tied in resistances and immunity with {{p|Empoleon}}.
* Dialga is the second Pokémon to have the ability to manipulate time, the first being {{p|Celebi}}.
* Dialga is the seventh tallest Pokémon and the tallest Generation IV Pokémon.
* No other Pokémon shares the same [[type]] [[List of Pokémon with unique type combinations|combination]] as Dialga.
* Dialga is the only {{type2|Dragon}} Pokémon that doesn't take super-effective damage when hit by Dragon-type moves as of [[Generation IV]], due to the {{type2|Steel}}'s resistance to them.
* Despite being genderless in the main series games, Dialga is referred to as a male in [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon 2]].
* In [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon 2]], Dialga, along with {{p|Palkia}} and {{p|Regigigas}}, all speak in capital letters, unlike the other Pokémon in the game.
* Dialga, along with Palkia and {{p|Phione}}, has the second highest [[catch rate]] out of all the legendary Pokémon, with a catch rate of 30, only topped by {{p|Mew}}, {{p|Celebi}}, and {{p|Shaymin}} with catch rates of 45.
* The spikes on the Dialga's back, at a certain point of view, look similar to a [[Time Gears|time gear]]. In the anime, when Dialga uses Roar of Time, the spine extends and the five spikes become thinner and more pronounced.
* Dialga is the second Pokémon in the [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon]] series to feature an [[alternate coloration]] that is [[Primal Dialga|not its shiny coloration]], the first being {{p|Kecleon}}.
* Dialga and {{p|Palkia}} are the first legendary Pokémon to be seen at a level that is not divisible by 5, appearing at Level 47.
**This only applies to {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}, due to the fact that in {{g|Platinum}}, they are both encountered at level 70.
* Since Dialga has been confirmed to be in the 12th movie, Dialga is the first legendary Pokémon to have 3 major roles in the movies. Dialga also has the most major movie appearances of any Pokémon besides Pikachu and Meowth.
* Dialga is the third heaviest Pokémon in the National Pokédex.

===Origin===
Dialga is based after a {{wp|dinosaur}} with a {{wp|diamond}}. The dinosaur it is possibly based on is the largest dinosaur, known as {{wp|Amphicoelias}}. It was the longest, tallest, and biggest dinosaur in the world, hence the size of Dialga.

====Name origin====
The ''Dia'' in its name is derived from the word ''diamond'', even though the Japanese word for diamond is ダイヤモンド ''daiyamondo''. The "''ga''" part in its name may be a corruption of "''gon''", referring to its origin and type. Its name could also be a reference to a {{wp|Sundial|sun dial}}, which is used to tell the time, or a dial found on a clock. However, the Greek root "''dia''" can be translated to the word ''through'', and one can refer to Dialga as going "through" time.

'''Palkia''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''パルキア''' ''Palkia'') is a dual-type {{2t|Water|Dragon}} [[legendary Pokémon]].

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

Palkia is the version mascot of [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Versions|Pokémon Pearl]], appearing on the boxart.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Palkia looks dinosaur-like, similar to Dialga, though it seems to be based off of a therapod. Despite possessing wings and the ability to fly on its own, it is not able to learn the [[move]] {{m|fly}} through [[HM02]] or any other means. It has plates on its shoulder area, where two pink pearls lie encrusted. Palkia has a long neck and a powerful tail.

====Gender differences====
Palkia is a genderless species.

====Special abilities====
Palkia has the ability to warp space. In the Pearl version of the game, it is mentioned on the statue in [[Eterna City]] that it can create alternate realities.

Palkia's skills in battle are mostly the same as Dialga's, except that Palkia can learn a handful of {{type2|Water}} moves. Palkia is also slightly faster than Dialga and has weaker defensive stats. Palkia is one of the rare species that knows the move [[Aura Sphere]].

Palkia's powers can be amplified with the {{DL|Type-enhancing item|Lustrous Orb}}.

In {{g|Mystery Dungeon 2}}, Palkia travels by creating a large yellow sphere from its two pearls, then using it to fly very fast.

Palkia is the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] that learns {{m|Spacial Rend}} (apart from an event {{p|Darkrai}} released for the tenth movie in Japan, another released in US, and {{p|Smeargle}} who can {{m|Sketch}} it).

===Behavior===
Like Dialga, Palkia lives in a different dimension, making its behavior nearly impossible to study. However, Palkia has been seen in violent conflicts with [[Dialga]].

===Habitat===
Legends say that it lives "in a gap in the spatial dimension parallel to ours."

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

==In the anime==
[[Image:Palkia anime.png|right|250px|thumb|{{an|Palkia}} in the anime]]
{{an|Palkia}} makes an appearance in ''[[The Rise of Darkrai]]'' along with {{an|Dialga}} and {{an|Darkrai}}, in which it fights with Dialga and nearly destroys [[Alamos Town]].

In ''[[Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]'', it did not have a main role, but appeared in a flashback to its battle with Dialga from the previous movie.

Finally, in ''[[Arceus: To a Conquering Spacetime]]'', Palkia, alongside {{an|Dialga}} and {{an|Giratina}}, start a battle which awakens an [[Arceus (Pokémon)|ancient power.]]

A silhouette of Palkia appeared in ''[[DP033|All Dressed up with Somewhere to Go]]''.

Palkia's statue appears with its silhouette in ''[[DP036|A Secret Sphere of Influence!]]''.

Palkia's statue also appeared in [[DP110]] and [[DP111]].

Palkia also makes a cameo in the ''[[Together]]'' and ''{{so|Diamond and Pearl}}'' openings.

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

==Other appearances==
===Super Smash Bros. Brawl===
[[Image:SSBBSpearPillarPalkia.png|right|thumb|Palkia on Spear Pillar]]
Palkia occasionally appears on the [[Spear Pillar (stage)|Spear Pillar]] stage as one of three Pokémon that controls it. Unlike Dialga and {{p|Cresselia}}, it'll use its powers to distort the stage however possible. Some examples include tilting the stage, turning the stage completely upside down and reversing the screen itself (the last two will cause the movement controls to be reversed temporarily). It often shoot beams in the cave below, dealing a lot of damage to the players that get caught in the blast.

==Game data==
===NPC appearances===
* {{g|Mystery Dungeon 2}}: Palkia accuses the player and its partner that they are the one responsible for the distortion of fabric of space. Later, Palkia confronts them and bring them to [[Spacial Rift]].

==Trivia==
* Palkia's US name was revealed, along with Dialga's, on 20th January 2006.
* Palkia's [[footprint]] is the shape of a crown. The other two members of the dragon trio, {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Giratina}}, also have crown-shaped footprints.
* Palkia and {{p|Kingdra}} are the only two Pokémon that are {{t|Water}}/{{t|Dragon}} type.
** Due to this, Palkia is the only member of the [[dragon trio]] that does not have a unique type combination.
* In [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon 2]], Palkia, along with {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Regigigas}}, all speak in capital letters, unlike the other Pokémon in the game.
* Palkia, along with Dialga and {{p|Phione}}, has the second highest [[catch rate]] after {{p|Shaymin}} out of all the legendary Pokémon, with a catch rate of 30.
* Although Palkia is genderless in the main games, it is referred to as a male in [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon 2]].
* Palkia and {{p|Dialga}} are the first legendary Pokémon to be met at a level that is not divisible by 5, appearing at Level 47.
**This only applies to {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}, due to the fact that in {{g|Platinum}}, they are both encountered at level 70.
* Palkia is in the highest [[IQ]] group. It takes this position in IQ group J and is the only Pokémon in IQ group J.

===Origin===
Palkia is likely based after a European {{wp|dragon}} with a {{wp|pearl}}. Like {{p|Dialga}}'s origin possibly from the largest sauropod dinosaur, {{wp|Amphicoelias}}, Palkia may be based on another sauropod, the bipedal {{wp|Plateosaurus}}.
====Name origin====
The ''Pal (Paru)'' in its name is derived from the Japanese word for pearl, パール ''pāru''.

'''Palkia''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''パルキア''' ''Palkia'') is a dual-type {{2t|Water|Dragon}} [[legendary Pokémon]].

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

Palkia is the version mascot of [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Versions|Pokémon Pearl]], appearing on the boxart.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Palkia looks dinosaur-like, similar to Dialga, though it seems to be based off of a therapod. Despite possessing wings and the ability to fly on its own, it is not able to learn the [[move]] {{m|fly}} through [[HM02]] or any other means. It has plates on its shoulder area, where two pink pearls lie encrusted. Palkia has a long neck and a powerful tail.

====Gender differences====
Palkia is a genderless species.

====Special abilities====
Palkia has the ability to warp space. In the Pearl version of the game, it is mentioned on the statue in [[Eterna City]] that it can create alternate realities.

Palkia's skills in battle are mostly the same as Dialga's, except that Palkia can learn a handful of {{type2|Water}} moves. Palkia is also slightly faster than Dialga and has weaker defensive stats. Palkia is one of the rare species that knows the move [[Aura Sphere]].

Palkia's powers can be amplified with the {{DL|Type-enhancing item|Lustrous Orb}}.

In {{g|Mystery Dungeon 2}}, Palkia travels by creating a large yellow sphere from its two pearls, then using it to fly very fast.

Palkia is the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] that learns {{m|Spacial Rend}} (apart from an event {{p|Darkrai}} released for the tenth movie in Japan, another released in US, and {{p|Smeargle}} who can {{m|Sketch}} it).

===Behavior===
Like Dialga, Palkia lives in a different dimension, making its behavior nearly impossible to study.

===Habitat===
Legends say that it lives "in a gap in the spatial dimension parallel to ours."

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

==In the anime==
[[Image:Palkia anime.png|right|250px|thumb|{{an|Palkia}} in the anime]]
{{an|Palkia}} makes an appearance in ''[[The Rise of Darkrai]]'' along with {{an|Dialga}} and {{an|Darkrai}}, in which it fights with Dialga and nearly destroys [[Alamos Town]].

In ''[[Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]'', it did not have a main role, but appeared in a flashback to its battle with Dialga from the previous movie.

Finally, in ''[[Arceus: To a Conquering Spacetime]]'', Palkia, alongside {{an|Dialga}} and {{an|Giratina}}, start a battle which awakens an [[Arceus (Pokémon)|ancient power.]]

A silhouette of Palkia appeared in ''[[DP033|All Dressed up with Somewhere to Go]]''.

Palkia's statue appears with its silhouette in ''[[DP036|A Secret Sphere of Influence!]]''.

Palkia's statue also appeared in [[DP110]] and [[DP111]].

Palkia also makes a cameo in the ''[[Together]]'' and ''{{so|Diamond and Pearl}}'' openings.

==In the manga==

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

==Other appearances==
===Super Smash Bros. Brawl===
[[Image:SSBBSpearPillarPalkia.png|right|thumb|Palkia on Spear Pillar]]
Palkia occasionally appears on the [[Spear Pillar (stage)|Spear Pillar]] stage as one of three Pokémon that controls it. Unlike Dialga and {{p|Cresselia}}, it'll use its powers to distort the stage however possible. Some examples include tilting the stage, turning the stage completely upside down and reversing the screen itself (the last two will cause the movement controls to be reversed temporarily). It often shoot beams in the cave below, dealing a lot of damage to the players that get caught in the blast.

==Game data==
===NPC appearances===
* {{g|Mystery Dungeon 2}}: Palkia accuses the player and its partner that they are the one responsible for the distortion of fabric of space. Later, Palkia confronts them and bring them to [[Spacial Rift]].

'''Sketch''' (Japanese: '''スケッチ''' ''Sketch'') is a non-damaging {{type2|Normal}} [[move]] introduced in [[Generation II]]. It is the [[signature move]] of {{p|Smeargle}}. Although, after using Sketch the move itself is lost, {{p|Smeargle}} can learn it again every ten levels, or by using a move re-learner.

==Effect==
===Generation II===
Sketch allows the user to copy the opponent's last move permanently, therefore replacing Sketch. Sketch cannot be used to copy {{m|Selfdestruct}}, {{m|Explosion}}, {{m|Struggle}}, or {{m|Metronome}}.

===Generation III===
The effects of Sketch continue into this generation ; however, while Sketch still cannot be used to copy {{m|Struggle}}, it can now be used to copy {{m|Selfdestruct}} and {{m|Explosion}} when used in a battle with a Pokémon with the {{a|Damp}} ability.

===Generation IV===
Same as Generation III. Sketch cannot be used to copy {{m|Chatter}} and {{m|Struggle}}.

Palkia occasionally appears on the [[Spear Pillar (stage)|Spear Pillar]] stage as one of three Pokémon that controls it.

==Trivia==
* Palkia's US name was revealed, along with Dialga's, on 20th January 2006.
* Palkia has a [[footprint]] that is the same shape as crowns. The other two members of the dragon trio, {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Giratina}}, also have crown-shaped footprints.
* Palkia and {{p|Kingdra}} are the only two Pokémon that are {{t|Water}}/{{t|Dragon}} type.
** Due to this, Palkia is the only member of the [[dragon trio]] that does not have a unique type combination.
* In [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon 2]], Palkia, along with {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Regigigas}}, all speak in capital letters, unlike the other Pokémon in the game.
* Palkia, along with Dialga and {{p|Phione}}, has the second highest [[catch rate]] after {{p|Shaymin}} out of all the legendary Pokémon, with a catch rate of 30.
* Although Palkia is genderless in the main games, it is referred to as a male in [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon 2]].
* Palkia and {{p|Dialga}} are the first legendary Pokémon to be met at a level that is not divisible by 5, appearing at Level 47.
**This only applies to {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}, due to the fact that in {{g|Platinum}}, they are both encountered at level 70.
* Palkia is in the highest [[IQ]] group. It takes this position in IQ group J and is the only Pokémon in IQ group J.

===Origin===
Palkia is likely based after a European {{wp|dragon}} with a {{wp|pearl}}. Like {{p|Dialga}}'s origin possibly from the largest sauropod dinosaur, {{wp|Amphicoelias}}, Palkia may be based on another sauropod, the bipedal {{wp|Plateosaurus}}.
====Name origin====
The ''Pal (Paru)'' in its name is derived from the Japanese word for pearl, パール ''pāru''.

==Trivia==
* Umbreon is tied with {{p|Vaporeon}} and {{p|Leafeon}} for the tallest Eevee evolution.
* Although it is often mentioned that it is able to spray poison, The only {{type2|Poison}} move Umbreon can learn is {{m|Toxic}}, and only through [[TM06]].
* Umbreon was the first and only pure {{type2|Dark}} until the introduction of {{p|Poochyena}}, {{p|Mightyena}}, and {{p|Absol}} in [[Generation III]].
* Umbreon is not obtainable in {{2v|FireRed|LeafGreen}} due to lack of a time system. In order to be obtained and added to the [[Pokédex]] in these versions, an Eevee must be traded to {{3v|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}, evolved and then traded back.
* Umbreon is the first {{type2|Dark}} Pokémon in [[National Pokédex]] order, and the last Pokémon in National Pokédex order to not share a type with a Pokémon of a lower number.
* Umbreon is the only non-{{type2|Psychic}} Pokémon with the ability {{a|Synchronize}}.
* Umbreon is one of two Pokémon than can be obtained via more than one evolution method in the main series of games. The other one is Umbreon's counterpart, {{p|Espeon}}.

===Origin===
Its physical traits are similar to {{wp|fox}}es. It also bears a resemblance to a jackal, and may be based off of {{wp|Anubis}}, the Egyptian god of the underworld.
====Name origin====
Umbreon's name is derived from ''{{wp|umbra}}'', Latin for ''shadow'' and ''ghost''. ''Eon'' was {{p|Eevee}}'s prototype name, the Pokémon from which Umbreon evolves.

Its Japanese name may simply refer to the color of its coat.

==In other languages==
*[[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Nachtara - From ''Nacht'' (night). Ends with ''-a'' like every [[Eeveelution]] in German.

====Name origin====
Fukamaru may be a combination of 鱶 ''fuka'', shark, and 丸 ''maru'', round. Gible may be a combination of ''ground'' and ''nibble''.

'''Palkia''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''パルキア''' ''Palkia'') is a dual-type {{2t|Water|Dragon}} [[legendary Pokémon]].

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

Palkia is the version mascot of [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Versions|Pokémon Pearl]], appearing on the boxart.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Palkia looks dinosaur-like, similar to Dialga, though it seems to be based off of a therapod. It also possesses wings, and does have the ability to fly. It has plates on its shoulder area, where two pink pearls lie encrusted. Palkia has a long neck and a powerful tail.

====Gender differences====
Palkia is a genderless species.

====Special abilities====
Palkia has the ability to warp space. In the Pearl version of the game, it is mentioned on the statue in [[Eterna City]] that it can create alternate realities.

Palkia's skills in battle are mostly the same as Dialga's, except that Palkia can learn a handful of {{type2|Water}} moves. Palkia is also slightly faster than Dialga and has weaker defensive stats. Palkia is one of the rare species that knows the move [[Aura Sphere]].

Palkia's powers can be amplified with the {{DL|Type-enhancing item|Lustrous Orb}}.

In {{g|Mystery Dungeon 2}}, Palkia travels by creating a large yellow sphere from its two pearls, then using it to fly very fast.

Palkia is the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] that learns {{m|Spacial Rend}} (apart from an event {{p|Darkrai}} released for the tenth movie in Japan, another released in US, and {{p|Smeargle}} who can {{m|Sketch}} it).

===Behavior===
Like Dialga, Palkia lives in a different dimension, making its behavior nearly impossible to study.

===Habitat===
Legends say that it lives "in a gap in the spatial dimension parallel to ours."

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

==In the anime==
[[Image:Palkia anime.png|right|250px|thumb|{{an|Palkia}} in the anime]]
{{an|Palkia}} makes an appearance in ''[[The Rise of Darkrai]]'' along with {{an|Dialga}} and {{an|Darkrai}}, in which it fights with Dialga and nearly destroys [[Alamos Town]].

In ''[[Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]'', it did not have a main role, but appeared in a flashback to its battle with Dialga from the previous movie.

Finally, in ''[[Arceus: To a Conquering Spacetime]]'', Palkia, alongside {{an|Dialga}} and {{an|Giratina}}, start a battle which awakens an [[Arceus (Pokémon)|ancient power.]]

A silhouette of Palkia appeared in ''[[DP033|All Dressed up with Somewhere to Go]]''.

Palkia's statue appears with its silhouette in ''[[DP036|A Secret Sphere of Influence!]]''.

Palkia's statue also appeared in [[DP110]] and [[DP111]].

[[Image:SSBBSpearPillarPalkia.png|right|thumb|Palkia on Spear Pillar]]
Palkia occasionally appears on the [[Spear Pillar (stage)|Spear Pillar]] stage as one of three Pokémon that controls it. Unlike Dialga and {{p|Cresselia}}, it'll use its powers to distort the stage however possible. Some examples include tilting the stage, turning the stage completely upside down and reversing the screen itself (the last two will cause the movement controls to be reversed temporarily). It often shoot beams in the cave below, dealing a lot of damage to the players that get caught in the blast.

==Game data==

==Trivia==
* Palkia's US name was revealed, along with Dialga's, on 20th January 2006.
* Palkia has a [[footprint]] that is the same shape as crowns. The other two members of the dragon trio, {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Giratina}}, also have crown-shaped footprints.
* Palkia and {{p|Kingdra}} are the only two Pokémon that are {{t|Water}}/{{t|Dragon}} type.
** Due to this, Palkia is the only member of the [[dragon trio]] that does not have a unique type combination.
* In [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon 2]], Palkia, along with {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Regigigas}}, all speak in capital letters, unlike the other Pokémon in the game.
* Palkia, along with Dialga and {{p|Phione}}, has the second highest [[catch rate]] after {{p|Shaymin}} out of all the legendary Pokémon, with a catch rate of 30.
* Although Palkia is genderless in the main games, it is referred to as a male in [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon 2]].
* Palkia and {{p|Dialga}} are the first legendary Pokémon to be met at a level that is not divisible by 5, appearing at Level 47.
**This only applies to {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}, due to the fact that in {{g|Platinum}}, they are both encountered at level 70.
* Palkia is in the highest [[IQ]] group. It takes this position in IQ group J and is the only Pokémon in IQ group J.

===Origin===
Palkia is likely based after a European {{wp|dragon}} with a {{wp|pearl}}. Like {{p|Dialga}}'s origin possibly from the largest sauropod dinosaur, {{wp|Amphicoelias}}, Palkia may be based on another sauropod, the bipedal {{wp|Plateosaurus}}.
====Name origin====
The ''Pal (Paru)'' in its name is derived from the Japanese word for pearl, パール ''pāru''.

==Trivia==
* Umbreon is tied with {{p|Vaporeon}} and {{p|Leafeon}} for the tallest Eevee evolution.
* Although it is often mentioned that it is able to spray poison, The only {{type2|Poison}} move Umbreon can learn is {{m|Toxic}}, and only through [[TM06]].
* Umbreon was the first and only pure {{type2|Dark}} until the introduction of {{p|Poochyena}}, {{p|Mightyena}}, and {{p|Absol}} in [[Generation III]].
* Umbreon is not obtainable in {{2v|FireRed|LeafGreen}} due to lack of a time system. In order to be obtained and added to the [[Pokédex]] in these versions, an Eevee must be traded to {{3v|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}, evolved and then traded back.
* Umbreon is the first {{type2|Dark}} Pokémon in [[National Pokédex]] order, and the last Pokémon in National Pokédex order to not share a type with a Pokémon of a lower number.
* Umbreon is the only non-{{type2|Psychic}} Pokémon with the ability {{a|Synchronize}}.
* Umbreon is one of two Pokémon than can be obtained via more than one evolution method in the main series of games. The other one is Umbreon's counterpart, {{p|Espeon}}.

===Origin===
Its physical traits are similar to {{wp|fox}}es. It also bears a resemblance to a jackal, and may be based off of {{wp|Anubis}}, the Egyptian god of the underworld.
====Name origin====
Umbreon's name is derived from ''{{wp|umbra}}'', Latin for ''shadow'' and ''ghost''. ''Eon'' was {{p|Eevee}}'s prototype name, the Pokémon from which Umbreon evolves.

Its Japanese name may simply refer to the color of its coat.

==In other languages==

==Trivia==
*Growlithe's original name was "Flame".
*In {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}, its front sprite appears to be orange. This was corrected in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}.

===Origin===
Growlithe is most likely based on Japanese 獅子 ''{{wp|shishi}}'', or 狛犬 ''koma-inu''. They are mythical creatures that share traits with lions, tigers, and dogs. Statues of them in pairs are used as guardians and to invite good luck.
====Name origin====
Growlithe's name is likely a combination of ''growl'' and ''lithe'', meaning limber or flexible. Its Japanese name may simply refer to its abilities as a guard dog.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Seedot}} starting at [[level]] 14, and evolves into {{p|Shiftry}} via {{stone|Leaf Stone}}.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Nuzleaf is more humanoid than {{p|Seedot}}. Its thighs are bulky, and it has two small black dots on its chest. Its nose is pointed and has a light brown "mask", and it sports a leaf on its head.

====Gender differences====
A female has a smaller leaf on her head.

====Special abilities====
Because Nuzleaf have {{t|Grass}} and {{t|Dark}} type characteristics, they are able to use Grass and Dark type moves. They are also able to use {{m|Extrasensory}}. Nuzleaf also have the ability to use leaves as a form of sound the can confuse people and Pokémon. Although not fully evolved, Nuzleaf are able to learn {{m|Hyper Beam}}, but not {{m|Giga Impact}}.

==In the anime==
[[Image:AG026.jpg|right|thumb|A Nuzleaf from ''[[AG026|Turning Over a Nuzleaf]]'']]
Nuzleaf first appeared in ''[[AG026|Turning Over a Nuzleaf]]''. When {{AP|Pikachu}}, {{AP|Treecko}}, {{TP|May|Torchic}}, {{TP|Brock|Mudkip}}, {{TP|May|Silcoon}}, {{TP|Brock|Lotad}} and {{AP|Corphish}} get separated from {{Ash}}, {{an|May}}, [[Brock]] and [[Max]] and got lost in a forest, these wily Pokémon caused trouble for them.

A colony of {{p|Seedot}} and Nuzleaf appeared in [[DP014|''Leave it to Brocko!'']]. One of the Nuzleaf got separated from its colony and Brock and {{TP|Brock|Sudowoodo}} had to bring it home before [[Team Rocket]] could steal it. This Nuzleaf also seemed to be fast friends with Brock's Sudowoodo, even when Sudowoodo was a Bonsly.

[[Yōko]] of the [[Eterna Gym]] owns a Nuzleaf. In ''[[DP031|The Grass-Type is Always Greener]]'', when Gardenia was traveling in the [[Eterna Forest]], it brought her a note summoning her back to the Gym. It seen again in ''[[DP037|The Grass Menagerie!]]'' alongside its trainer.

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

==Trivia==
*Although Nuzleaf [[Anime move errors|cannot learn]] {{m|GrassWhistle}}, it is commonly shown in the {{pkmn|anime}} using it.
*Nuzleaf's {{stat|Defense}} stat is lower than that of its pre-evolved form, Seedot. Additionally, Defense is tied for Nuzleaf's lowest stat, where as Defense is Seedot's highest stat.
===Origin===
Nuzleaf is probably based on an {{wp|acorn}}, 天狗 ''{{wp|Tengu}}'', tricky Japanese goblins who are known for their long noses, cruel tricks, and ability to read minds, and possibly on {{wp|Pinnochio}}.
====Name origin====
Nuzleaf's name may be a combination of ''nuzzle'' or ''nose'' and ''leaf''. Its Japanese name is literally 巨の鼻 ''konohana'', big nose, but more formally seems to be a combination of 木の葉 ''konoha'', leaves, and 鼻 ''hana'', nose or 花 ''hana'', flower. Konohana may also be この花 ''kono hana'', this flower.

==In other languages==
*[[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Blanas
*[[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Pifeuil - From ''pif'' (a slang term for both nose and [[wp:Olfaction|olfaction]]), and ''feuille'' (leaf).
*[[List of Korean Pokémon names|Korean]]: 잎새코 ''Ipsaeko''

Nuzleaf also have the ability to use leaves as a form of sound the can confuse people and Pokémon. Although not fully evolved, Nuzleaf are able to learn {{m|Hyper Beam}}, but not {{m|Giga Impact}}.

As seen in episodes ''[[AG026|Turning Over a Nuzleaf]]'' and ''[[DP014|Leave it to Brocko!]]'', Nuzleaf often use a {{m2|GrassWhistle|leaf to whistle}}.

==In the anime==
[[Image:AG026.jpg|right|thumb|A Nuzleaf from ''[[AG026|Turning Over a Nuzleaf]]'']]
Nuzleaf first appeared in ''[[AG026|Turning Over a Nuzleaf]]''. When {{AP|Pikachu}}, {{AP|Treecko}}, {{TP|May|Torchic}}, {{TP|Brock|Mudkip}}, {{TP|May|Silcoon}}, {{TP|Brock|Lotad}} and {{AP|Corphish}} get separated from {{Ash}}, {{an|May}}, [[Brock]] and [[Max]] and got lost in a forest, these wily Pokémon caused trouble for them.

A colony of {{p|Seedot}} and Nuzleaf appeared in [[DP014|''Leave it to Brocko!'']]. One of the Nuzleaf got separated from its colony and Brock and {{TP|Brock|Sudowoodo}} had to bring it home before [[Team Rocket]] could steal it. This Nuzleaf also seemed to be fast friends with Brock's Sudowoodo, even when Sudowoodo was a Bonsly.

[[Yōko]] of the [[Eterna Gym]] owns a Nuzleaf. In ''[[DP031|The Grass-Type is Always Greener]]'', when Gardenia was traveling in the [[Eterna Forest]], it brought her a note summoning her back to the Gym. It seen again in ''[[DP037|The Grass Menagerie!]]'' alongside its trainer.

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

==Trivia==
*Although Nuzleaf [[Anime move errors|cannot learn]] {{m|GrassWhistle}}, it is commonly shown in the {{pkmn|anime}} using it.
*Nuzleaf's {{stat|Defense}} stat is lower than that of its pre-evolved form, Seedot. Additionally, Defense is tied for Nuzleaf's lowest stat, where as Defense is Seedot's highest stat.
===Origin===
Nuzleaf is probably based on an {{wp|acorn}}, 天狗 ''{{wp|Tengu}}'', tricky Japanese goblins who are known for their long noses, cruel tricks, and ability to read minds, and possibly on {{wp|Pinnochio}}.
====Name origin====
Nuzleaf's name may be a combination of ''nuzzle'' or ''nose'' and ''leaf''. Its Japanese name is literally 巨の鼻 ''konohana'', big nose, but more formally seems to be a combination of 木の葉 ''konoha'', leaves, and 鼻 ''hana'', nose or 花 ''hana'', flower. Konohana may also be この花 ''kono hana'', this flower.

==In other languages==
*[[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Blanas
*[[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Pifeuil - From ''pif'' (a slang term for both nose and [[wp:Olfaction|olfaction]]), and ''feuille'' (leaf).
*[[List of Korean Pokémon names|Korean]]: 잎새코 ''Ipsaeko''

'''Altaria''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''チルタリス''' ''Tyltalis'') is a dual-type {{2t|Dragon|Flying}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolve]]s from {{p|Swablu}} starting at [[level]] 35.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Altaria resembles a large blue phoenix-like Pokémon with a long neck and white cheeks. The feathers of its body make it resemble a cumulus cloud and two long blue feathers extend from the back of its head. It wraps its two cloud-like wings around its body to keep itself warm.

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

====Special abilities====
Altaria carries a refined set of vocal chords that allow it to sing or hum in a beautiful soprano voice that causes its listeners to experience dreamy content.

It is possible that an Altaria may carry a flame sac within its body, similar to {{p|Torchic}}, which it uses to launch intensely hot fireballs from its mouth in self defense from attackers.

As of Generation IV, Altaria is one of three non-legendary Pokémon that can learn {{m|Sky Attack}} naturally, the other non-legendaries being {{P|Noctowl}} and {{P|Togekiss}}.

===Behavior===
In their secluded habitats, Altaria are known to sing and hum beautifully with their voices. Much of their behavior simply involves finding a draft on which to glide, high above many other Pokémon that can fly.

===Habitat===
[[Image:Forest.gif|right|frame|[[List of Pokémon by habitat#Forest Pokémon|Forest Pokémon]]]]
Altaria seem to live in secluded areas far from human population such as mountainous regions (contrary to {{p|Swablu}} which live near human settlements) and even sometimes melodious singing, believed to be a singing Altaria, can be heard from far off mountains. Another example of its distance from humans is the fact that the only place where an Altaria can be caught in the wild is in the [[Sky Pillar]]. Some Altaria are shown to reside in [[Forina]] Valley, and many of them are also shown to reside within the [[Tree of Beginning]]. Both locations are also far from human population. During the winter, they migrate into caverns within mountains.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

==In the anime==
[[Image:Altaria anime.PNG|right|thumb|[[Winona]]'s Altaria]]
Altaria first appeared in ''[[Jirachi: Wish Maker]]''. It was one of the Pokémon that lived in [[Forina]], {{p|Jirachi}}'s home.

There were some Altaria in the flock that an injured {{p|Swablu}} belonged to in ''[[AG064|True Blue Swablu]]''.

Altaria's first major role was in ''[[AG085|Sky High Gym Battle]]''. [[Ash's Grovyle]] battled against one in {{Ash}}'s gym battle against [[Winona]], the [[Gym Leader]] of [[Fortree Gym]].

An Altaria belonging to [[Drake (Elite Four)|Drake]] of the [[Hoenn]] [[Elite Four]] appeared in ''[[AG101|Vanity Affair]]'' where it battled against [[Ash's Sceptile|Ash's Grovyle]].

Altaria had a cameo appearance in ''[[Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]''. It could be seen in a flock with some Swablu.

Another flock of Altaria and Swablu was seen in ''[[AG171|Pokémon Ranger - Deoxys Crisis!]]'' The Altaria's sense of direction had gone haywire, so [[Solana]] captured one of them to put them back in order.

==Trivia==
*Cacnea and its evolution, {{p|Cacturne}}, are two of the few Pokémon which aren't {{t|Steel}}, {{t|Ground}} or {{type2|Rock}} which are unharmed by sandstorms. This is because of their ability, {{a|Sand Veil}}. The other Pokémon who share this trait are {{p|Cleffa}} line with {{a|Magic Guard}}, {{p|Psyduck}} line with {{a|Cloud Nine}} and Rayquaza with {{a|Air Lock}}.

===Origin===
It is based on a {{wp|cactus}}. It can also resemble a Halloween {{wp|Jack-o-lantern}}. This is made even more apparent in its shiny form, which is orange.
====Name origin====
Cacnea's name is based on ''cactus''. Its Japanese name is based on 仙人掌 ''saboten'', cactus. ''Nea'' may come from ''needle''.

'''Palkia''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''パルキア''' ''Palkia'') is a dual-type {{2t|Water|Dragon}} [[legendary Pokémon]].

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

Palkia is the version mascot of [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Versions|Pokémon Pearl]], appearing on the boxart.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Palkia looks dinosaur-like, similar to Dialga, though it seems to be based off of a therapod. It possesses wings, and does possess the ability to fly to great heights, as demonstrated in ''[[The Rise of Darkrai]]''. It has plates on its shoulder area, where two pink pearls lie encrusted. Palkia has a long neck and a powerful tail.

====Gender differences====
Palkia is a genderless species.

====Special abilities====
Palkia has the ability to warp space. In the Pearl version of the game, it is mentioned on the statue in [[Eterna City]] that it can create alternate realities.

Palkia's skills in battle are mostly the same as Dialga's, except that Palkia can learn a handful of {{type2|Water}} moves. Palkia is also slightly faster than Dialga and has weaker defensive stats. Palkia is one of the rare species that knows the move [[Aura Sphere]].

Palkia's powers can be amplified with the {{DL|Type-enhancing item|Lustrous Orb}}.

In {{g|Mystery Dungeon 2}}, Palkia travels by creating a large yellow sphere from its two pearls, then using it to fly very fast.

Palkia is the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] that learns {{m|Spacial Rend}} (apart from an event {{p|Darkrai}} released for the tenth movie in Japan, another released in US, and {{p|Smeargle}} who can {{m|Sketch}} it).

===Behavior===
Like Dialga, Palkia lives in a different dimension, making its behavior nearly impossible to study.

===Habitat===
Legends say that it lives "in a gap in the spatial dimension parallel to ours."

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

==In the anime==
[[Image:Palkia anime.png|right|250px|thumb|{{an|Palkia}} in the anime]]
{{an|Palkia}} makes an appearance in ''[[The Rise of Darkrai]]'' along with {{an|Dialga}} and {{an|Darkrai}}, in which it fights with Dialga and nearly destroys [[Alamos Town]].

In ''[[Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]'', it did not have a main role, but appeared in a flashback to its battle with Dialga from the previous movie.

Finally, in ''[[Arceus: To a Conquering Spacetime]]'', Palkia, alongside {{an|Dialga}} and {{an|Giratina}}, start a battle which awakens an [[Arceus (Pokémon)|ancient power.]]

A silhouette of Palkia appeared in ''[[DP033|All Dressed up with Somewhere to Go]]''.

Palkia's statue appears with its silhouette in ''[[DP036|A Secret Sphere of Influence!]]''.

Palkia's statue also appeared in [[DP110]] and [[DP111]].

Palkia also makes a cameo in the ''[[Together]]'' and ''{{so|Diamond and Pearl}}'' openings.

==In the manga==

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

==Other appearances==
===Super Smash Bros. Brawl===
[[Image:SSBBSpearPillarPalkia.png|right|thumb|Palkia on Spear Pillar]]
Palkia occasionally appears on the [[Spear Pillar (stage)|Spear Pillar]] stage as one of three Pokémon that controls it. Unlike Dialga and {{p|Cresselia}}, it'll use its powers to distort the stage however possible. Some examples include tilting the stage, turning the stage completely upside down and reversing the screen itself (the last two will cause the movement controls to be reversed temporarily). It often shoot beams in the cave below, dealing a lot of damage to the players that get caught in the blast.

==Game data==
===NPC appearances===
* {{g|Mystery Dungeon 2}}: Palkia accuses the player and its partner that they are the one responsible for the distortion of fabric of space. Later, Palkia confronts them and bring them to [[Spacial Rift]].

==Trivia==
* Palkia's US name was revealed, along with Dialga's, on 20th January 2006.
* Palkia has a [[footprint]] that is the same shape as crowns. The other two members of the dragon trio, {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Giratina}}, also have crown-shaped footprints.
* Palkia and {{p|Kingdra}} are the only two Pokémon that are {{t|Water}}/{{t|Dragon}} type.
** Due to this, Palkia is the only member of the [[dragon trio]] that does not have a unique type combination.
* In [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon 2]], Palkia, along with {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Regigigas}}, all speak in capital letters, unlike the other Pokémon in the game.
* Palkia, along with Dialga and {{p|Phione}}, has the second highest [[catch rate]] after {{p|Shaymin}} out of all the legendary Pokémon, with a catch rate of 30.
* Although Palkia is genderless in the main games, it is referred to as a male in [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon 2]].
* Palkia and {{p|Dialga}} are the first legendary Pokémon to be met at a level that is not divisible by 5, appearing at Level 47.
**This only applies to {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}, due to the fact that in {{g|Platinum}}, they are both encountered at level 70.
* Palkia is in the highest [[IQ]] group. It takes this position in IQ group J and is the only Pokémon in IQ group J.

===Origin===
Palkia is likely based after a European {{wp|dragon}} with a {{wp|pearl}}. Like {{p|Dialga}}'s origin possibly from the largest sauropod dinosaur, {{wp|Amphicoelias}}, Palkia may be based on another sauropod, the bipedal {{wp|Plateosaurus}}.
====Name origin====
The ''Pal (Paru)'' in its name is derived from the Japanese word for pearl, パール ''pāru''.

First partner Pokémon

2009-04-03T01:59:25Z

Charchar: /* In the games */

{{FAC notice}}
At the beginning of their quest, {{pkmn|Trainer}}s are given a '''starter Pokémon''' (Japanese: '''はじめてのポケモン''' ''first Pokémon'' or '''さいしょのポケモン''' ''beginning Pokémon''). This Pokémon will be used to {{pkmn|battle}} the first [[wild Pokémon]] that the Trainer encounters. Once another Pokémon is caught, the starter may be retired, but it is often with this Pokémon that Trainers learn friendship and trust. As such, even advanced Trainers may still use their starters.

==In the games==
In the main {{pkmn|games}}, each starter Pokémon is at [[level]] 5, armed with one damage-dealing [[move]] and another that affects [[stat]]s. Generally, Trainers can choose between a {{t|Fire}}, {{t|Water}}, or {{type2|Grass}} Pokémon, [[Pokémon Yellow Version|with a few exceptions]]. The Trainer that will be designated as the player's [[rival]] will always choose or have the Pokémon of the starter trio that the player's starter is weakest to, though it may not be the case that they remain the true rival.

The following is a list of starters by region:

===Normal starters===

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

In {{game|Yellow}}, Oak instead gives out:

|-
| colspan="2" style="background:#{{electric color}}" | [[Electric (type)|{{color|FFF|Electric}}]]
|}

This {{ga|Red's Pikachu|Pikachu}} is the same one that attacked the player when they ventured onto [[Route 1]] that Oak caught, which will be the only choice the player gets. Another notable change here involves the player's rival receiving an {{p|Eevee}} from Oak, which will evolve into one of its three [[Generation I]] evolutions, depending on the outcome of the battles between the player and the rival.

It should be noted that during the adventure, the player will be able to get the original three Kanto starters through special events not present in the earlier games. It remains to be the only main series game to allow the player to obtain all three starter Pokémon from a previous game legitimately, without trading. The Pikachu received from Oak will also refuse to evolve into {{p|Raichu}} by use of a {{stone|Thunderstone}} unless it is traded away to do so.

=====[[Johto]]=====
In {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}, [[Professor Elm]] will have an errand for the player to run, and will give them one of the following for protection on this errand, which they will then keep after completion:

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

=====[[Hoenn]]=====
In {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}, after [[Professor Birch]] is rescued from a {{p|Poochyena}} (R/S) or {{p|Zigzagoon}}, (E) he allows the player to keep the Pokémon they chose to rescue him with, either:

The player's neighbor, {{ga|Brendan}} or {{ga|May}}, already has his or her starter, which is always the one with the type advantage. [[Wally]] starts with {{p|Ralts}}; he seeks [[Norman]]'s and the player's assistance in catching his first Pokémon. By the end of the game, it seems that the player's nominal rival, the son/daughter of Professor Birch, has stopped being a Trainer, and Wally is actually the true rival.

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

|}

The player's {{ga|Pearl|in-game neighbor}} will choose the starter that has a type advantage against the player's choice, and the [[non-player character|NPC]] who is the other-gender choice ({{ga|Lucas}}/{{ga|Dawn}}) will have the Pokémon weak to the player's choice. After fighting off the two Starly at the lake and returning the briefcase to Rowan, the professor will allow the player and {{ga|Pearl}} to keep the Pokémon they used. Compared to previous games more NPC Trainers use starter Pokémon than before, with notable figures such as the [[Gym Leader]] [[Gardenia]] and [[Elite Four]] member {{EF|Flint}} using them as well as several other Trainers.

====Side series====

In {{g|Colosseum}}:

|-
| style="background:#{{psychic color}}" | [[Psychic (type)|{{color|FFF|Psychic}}]]
| style="background:#{{dark color}}" | [[Dark (type)|{{color|FFF|Dark}}]]
|}

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

|}

This starter Pokémon is also in the player's possession right at the beginning. It is at level 10, knowing Bite which is again unique for this level. At an early point in the game, the player is offered one of five evolutionary items, {{evostone|Water Stone}}, {{evostone|Thunderstone}}, {{evostone|Fire Stone}}, {{evostone|Moon Shard}} and {{evostone|Sun Shard}}, to make the Eevee evolve into any of its [[Generation III|(then)]] [[Eeveelution|five evolutions]].

===Special starters===

|-
| style="background:#{{electric color}}" | [[Electric (type)|{{color|FFF|Electric}}]]
| style="background:#{{electric color}}" | [[Electric (type)|{{color|FFF|Electric}}]]
|}

This is the only Pokémon that the player will keep throughout {{ga|Pokémon Ranger}}. Instead of being a choice based on which Pokémon is more appealing, it is dependent on the player's gender choice, Plusle belonging to [[Solana]] and Minun belonging to [[Lunick]]. Strangely, unlike the starter Pokémon of other regions, neither Plusle nor Minun appear at the start of the [[List of Pokémon by Fiore Browser number|Browser]]'s listing.

====[[Almia]]====

|}

In {{g|Ranger: Shadows of Almia}}, players accumulate 17 Partner Pokémon, one for each elemental type. The first partner is selected by capturing one of the above three during a mission at [[Vientown|Vientown's beach]]. The two not selected can be obtained through quests later in the game.

==In the anime==
[[Image:EP001 003.jpg|thumb|A poster on Ash Ketchum's bedroom wall, depicting the Kanto starter Pokémon.]][[Image:DP starters.jpg|thumb|A postcard that Dawn received from Professor Rowan, depicting the Sinnoh starter Pokémon.]]
Upon their tenth birthday, youth can register for a [[Pokédex]] and pick up a starter Pokémon from the local {{g|professor}} or {{g|Center}} free of charge. Starters are usually raised specifically to be easy to train.

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

Other rookie Trainers may receive their first Pokémon from a friend or relative instead; this means that Trainers can, in fact, start with any Pokémon, provided that their first Pokémon is received from someone that is not sanctioned by the Pokémon League.

===List of starter Pokémon in the anime===
* {{Ash}} received a {{AP|Pikachu}} from [[Professor Oak]].
* [[Brock]] received an {{p|Onix}} from {{ka|Flint|his father}} that now belongs to his brother, [[Forrest]], with whom it evolved into a {{TP|Brock|Steelix}}.
* {{Gary}} received a {{p|Squirtle}} from Professor Oak that [[evolution|evolved]] into a {{TP|Gary|Blastoise}}.
* [[Jessie]]'s first known Pokémon was an {{p|Ekans}} that she received as a gift from [[Giovanni]]. It evolved into an {{TP|Jessie|Arbok}}, that she eventually released. Arbok is the only starter Pokémon to be released so far in the anime.
* [[James]]'s first Pokémon is his pet {{p|Growlithe}} named [[Growlie]]. However, he left it at home when he ran away.
* {{an|Casey}} received a {{p|Chikorita}} from [[Professor Elm]] that evolved into a {{TP|Casey|Meganium}}.
* {{Jo|Jimmy}} received a {{p|Cyndaquil}} from Professor Elm that evolved into a {{TP|Jimmy|Typhlosion}}.
* {{Jo|Marina}} received a {{p|Totodile}} from Professor Elm that evolved into a [[Wani-Wani|Feraligatr]].
* [[Vincent]] received a Chikorita from Professor Elm that evolved into a {{TP|Vincent|Meganium}}.
* {{Jo|Harrison}} received a Torchic from [[Professor Birch]] that evolved into a {{TP|Harrison|Blaziken}}.
* {{an|May}} received a {{p|Torchic}} from [[Professor Birch]] that evolved all the way into a {{TP|May|Blaziken}}.
* {{Ho|Tommy}}'s first Pokémon was a {{p|Mudkip}}, that he evolved into a {{p|Marshtomp}}. He lost it on the [[Abandoned Ship]], where it evolved into {{p|Swampert}}. They were later reunited.
* {{Ho|Stephanie}} (''[[AG034|Having a Wailord of a Time]]'') received a {{p|Mudkip}} from Nurse Joy at the [[Slateport City]] {{g|Center}}. Her father received a {{p|Treecko}} at the same time.
* {{Ka|Gilbert}} (''[[H014|Journey to the Starting Line]]'') received a {{p|Bulbasaur}} from Professor Oak.
* {{an|Dawn}} received a {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}} from [[Professor Rowan]].
* [[Paul]]'s starter Pokémon was a {{p|Turtwig}}, now a {{TP|Paul|Torterra}}.
* {{Si|Kenny}}'s first Pokémon was a {{p|Piplup}} that had evolved into a {{TP|Kenny|Prinplup}}.
* [[Tyler]] (''[[DP080|Thief That Keeps on Thieving!]]'') received a {{p|Piplup}} named ''Pippy'' from an unknown location in East [[Sinnoh]].
* [[Max]] intends to begin his journey with a {{p|Ralts}} that he met in ''[[AG109|Do I Hear a Ralts?]]''. This is a reference to [[Wally]]'s starter Pokémon in the games.

Several characters have also captured Pokémon in the wild that are, in the games, only available as starter Pokémon.
* Ash Ketchum captured a {{AP|Bulbasaur}}, a {{AP|Charmander}}, and a {{AP|Squirtle}} in quick succession in the [[Kanto]] region. Of the three, only Charmander evolved, becoming a {{p|Charmeleon}}, and later a {{AP|Charizard}}, both of which were ''very'' disobedient to Ash until [[EP105|an incident]] in the [[Orange Archipelago]], after which it served Ash as it had when it was a Charmander. Bulbasaur was also going to evolve, but decided itself against becoming an {{p|Ivysaur}} in ''[[EP051|Bulbasaur's Mysterious Garden]]''.
* Ash also captured the three [[Johto]] region starters, {{AP|Chikorita}}, {{AP|Cyndaquil}} and {{AP|Totodile}}, of which only Chikorita evolved, into {{AP|Bayleef}}.
* Ash captured as well a {{AP|Treecko}} in [[Hoenn]], while Brock captured a {{TP|Brock|Mudkip}}. Treecko evolved twice, becoming {{AP|Sceptile}} before Ash left it at [[Professor Oak]]'s lab, while Brock's Mudkip evolved into {{TP|Brock|Marshtomp}}. Along with May's {{TP|May|Torchic}}, the traveling trio had the three starters of Hoenn.
* {{an|May}} captured a {{TP|May|Bulbasaur}} midway through her journey in Hoenn, and was given a {{TP|May|Squirtle}} by Professor Oak when she journeyed to Kanto. Bulbasaur evolved all the way into {{TP|May|Venusaur}} during May's travels through Johto. Squirtle also evolved into {{TP|May|Wartortle}} during May's travels through Johto.
* In [[Sinnoh]], Ash repeated himself by capturing {{AP|Turtwig}}, while his rival [[Paul]] owned a {{TP|Paul|Chimchar}} and a {{TP|Paul|Torterra}}, and {{an|Dawn}} herself has the third of Sinnoh's starters, {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}}. This is an imitation of the games: the rival (Paul) has the starter strong against the main character's (Ash) while the partner (Dawn) has the starter weak against the main character's. In ''[[DP052|Smells LIke Team Spirit!]]'', however, Paul releases Chimchar, and Ash captures it, making it the first time since the Johto saga that Ash has had more than one of a region's starters.
* Gary Oak had had {{TP|Gary|Eevee}} at least since Ash was traveling in the [[Orange Islands]]. As it was revealed to be under his ownership before his Blastoise, it caused many to hearken back to {{game|Yellow}}, where the player starts with {{p|Pikachu}}, like Ash, and the rival starts with Eevee. Either way, it was disproven that this was the case when Gary finally revealed his Blastoise to Ash. His Eevee evolved into {{TP|Gary|Umbreon}}.

==In the manga==
===In Pokémon Special===
In [[Pokémon Special]], the Starter Pokémon featured in the games are reserved for the few people who hold a Pokédex. [[Professor Oak]] produces three PokéDex for each region, and gives out the three starter Pokémon in each region along with the Pokédex to trainers he thinks are talented. He has colleges and friends like Professor Birch do this for him in regions in which he isn't present.

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

====List of starter Pokémon in Pokémon Special====
* [[Red (Special)|Red's]] starter was his [[Poli|Poliwag]]. Later, Professor Oak gave him a [[Saur|Bulbasaur]].
* [[Green (Special)|Green's]] starter was his Scyther. His grandfather later gave him a {{TP|Green|Charmander}}.
* [[Blue (Special)|Blue's]] starter was her Jigglypuff. She stole a [[Blasty|Squirtle]] from Professor Oak along with the third Pokédex.
* [[Yellow (Special)|Yellow's]] starter a Ratatta that Red caught for her. Later, she borrowed Red's [[Pika|Pikachu]], and after Red took him back, caught a [[Chuchu|female Pikachu]] for herself.
* [[Gold (Special)|Gold's]] starter was his [[Ataro|Aipom]] that his mother gave him. Professor Elm later gave him a [[Explotaro|Cyndaquil]].
* [[Silver (Special)|Silver's]] starter was the Sneasel that Giovanni gave him as a child. He later stole a {{TP|Silver|Totodile}} from Professor Elm.
* [[Crystal (Special)|Crystal's]] starter is officially her Smoochum, although she acquired many wild Pokémon that lived as a family while she was in the wild. [[Mega|Chikorita]] later ran away from Professor Elm to go with her.
* [[Ruby (Special)|Ruby's]] starter was his [[Nana|Poochyena]] that he received from his father, though he also received his Skitty and Ralts at the same time. Later, he got Professor Birch's [[Zuzu|Mudkip]].
* [[Sapphire (Special)|Sapphire's]] first Pokémon was the Aron her father gave her. Later, he gave her a [[Toro|Torchic]] along with her Pokédex.
* [[Wally]]'s first Pokémon was a Kecleon that Ruby helped him capture. However, he also borrowed Ruby's Ralts and the Treecko intended for Emerald, but they ended up returned to their rightful owners.
* [[Emerald (Special)|Emerald's]] first Pokémon was the {{TP|Emerald|Sceptile}} he rescued from the {{ho|Battle Frontier}}, which was supposed to be his in the first place.
* [[Diamond (Special)|Diamond's]] first was his Munchlax, and later he received a Turtwig from Professor Rowan.
* [[Pearl (Special)|Pearl's]] first was his Chatot, and later he received a Chimchar from Professor Rowan.
* [[Platina (Special)|Platina's]] first Pokémon was her Ponyta, and later she received a Piplup from Professor Rowan.

==Trivia==
* All starters in the [[main series]] besides Pikachu have a 7:1 ratio of males to females. The reason for this is likely to make sure that starter Pokémon are more difficult to [[breed]], as species is passed down by the female. There is an exception when using {{p|Ditto}}, however.
* Of the four {{type2|Fire}} starters, three of them have a Japanese name beginning with ヒ ''hi'': ''Hitokage'', ''Hinoarashi'', and ''Hikozaru''. Those same three have names starting with a ''C'' in the English language versions: {{p|Charmander}}, {{p|Cyndaquil}}, and {{p|Chimchar}}, respectively. {{Ash}} also has captured all three, and in the games, all have the same [[base stat]] total: {{cat|Pokémon with a base stat total of 309|309}}.
**The other starters also have matching base stats: all [[Hoenn]] starters have a base stat total of {{cat|Pokémon with a base stat total of 310|310}} (being the only starters who share this amount with non-starter Pokémon), while Grass-type starters (excluding Treecko) have {{cat|Pokémon with a base stat total of 318|318}}, and Water-type starters (excluding Mudkip) have {{cat|Pokémon with a base stat total of 314|314}}.
* Bulbasaur is the only starter that starts off having a secondary type, {{t|Poison}}. However, this doesn't affect the flow of weakness and resistance that exists within the starters; The {{type2|Grass}} starter is weak against the {{type2|Fire}} starter, which is weak against the {{type2|Water}} starter, which in turn is weak against the Grass-type starter.
* As of Generation IV, there are more fully evolved starters from the [[main series]] that are dual-typed than there are single-typed, 7:5. During Generations II and III, there were fewer dual-typed than single-typed fully evolved starters, 2:4 and 4:5 respectively. None of Johto's starters gain a second type.
* The final forms of the starters also vary in type based on their region. All three of the Johto region's starters never gain a second type, while all three of the final forms of the [[Sinnoh]] region's starters do have a second type. It should be noted that the Sinnoh starters' secondary types are configured so that each is theoretically a perfect match for each other. [[Kanto]] and [[Hoenn]] both have two of their starters' final forms having two types, while the third has only one.
* Kanto's group of three main starters is the only group of starters that can all interbreed, with all three evolutionary lines being in the {{egg2|Monster}}. Even so, the Squirtle line is the only one that has an [[egg move]] that it can pass on to the other two; {{m|Skull Bash}} to the Bulbasaur line and {{m|Bite}} to the Charmander line.
*In the anime, the three main characters that were shown in an episode choosing their starter all chose Pokémon in the {{egg3|Ground}} ({{AP|Pikachu}}, {{TP|May|Torchic}}, {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}}).
*For [[DP001]], [[Professor Oak's lecture]] is about the starter Pokémon of Sinnoh. He writes this [[Pokémon senryū]] about them: シンオウで　たびがはじまる　ポケモンと ''Shin'ō de tabi ga hajimaru Pokémon to.'' "In [[Sinnoh]], a journey begins with Pokémon."
*Each of the {{type2|Grass}} starters is based on a reptilian creature, with Bulbasaur and Chikorita being based on {{wp|dinosaur}}s, Treecko on {{wp|gecko}}s, and Turtwig on {{wp|turtle}}s.
*None of the {{type2|Water}} starters have any gender differences at any evolutionary level.
*None of the Sinnoh region's starters have any gender differences, despite this feature having been introduced in [[Generation IV]].
*A [[Red (game)#Super Smash Bros.|new character]] in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]] based on a {{pkmn|Trainer}} uses a team of {{p|Squirtle}}, {{p|Ivysaur}} and {{p|Charizard}}—one member from each of the Kanto starters' evolutionary lines.
*{{p|Charmander}} and {{p|Treecko}} are both based off of lizards (salamander, gecko). Ash had the final forms of them: {{AP|Charizard}} and {{AP|Sceptile}}. It should be noted, however, that a real life salamander is an amphibian, not a lizard; however, Charmander is based upon the legendary creature known as the {{wp|salamander (legendary creature)|Salamander}}.
*{{p|Squirtle}} and {{p|Turtwig}} are both based off of turtles and were the starters of two of Ash's rivals, {{Gary}} and [[Paul]].
*{{p|Torchic}} and {{p|Piplup}} are both based off of birds (chicken, penguin). They were also both owned by the anime's resident {{g|Coordinator}}s.
*{{p|Cyndaquil}}, {{p|Pikachu}}, and {{p|Chimchar}} are the only main series starters based off of mammals, an echidna, a mouse, and a chimpanzee, respectively.
*Ash has owned all four Grass-type starters: {{AP|Bulbasaur}}, {{AP|Chikorita}}, {{AP|Treecko}}, and {{AP|Turtwig}}. All of them except Bulbasaur have evolved since then.
*In the Pokédex, all the normal starters and their evolutions are in the same order for each region: Grass, Fire, and Water.
*In each of the first three generations' sets of starters, only one final form can learn {{m|Dragon Claw}}. These three Pokémon are also coincidentally the three starter final forms that had 120 HP when first released in the TCG, and each has a different type.
*Starting in Generation II, all of the fully-evolved starters could learn {{m|Earthquake}}, (except for Venusaur, who could learn it from Generation III onwards), and this set precedent for all later fully-evolved starters.
** Strangely, in Super Smash Bros. Melee, which was released before Generation III, if Venusaur was released from a Poké Ball, it would use Earthquake.
*The Hoenn starters all evolve for the first time at level 16, then again at level 36. Others have differences in either one or both evolutionary levels.
*All of the Generation I starters are based on reptilian creatures. Bulbasaur's family resemble dinosaurs, Charmander's family is based on lizards, and Squirtle's is based on turtles.
*The starter Pokémon of Generation III each had their own [[signature moves]]: {{m|Leaf Blade}} (Sceptile), {{m|Blaze Kick}} (Blaziken), and {{m|Muddy Water}} (Swampert). However once Generation IV came around, other Pokémon were capable of learning these moves.
**Incidentally, they all learn them at different points in their evolution: Sceptile learns Leaf Blade before being fully evolved, Blaziken learns Blaze Kick at its evolutionary level, and Swampert learns Muddy Water some time after reaching its final form.
*{{p|Chimchar}} and {{p|Cyndaquil}} both evolve the earliest of any of the starters at level 14.
*Only the Johto starters' final forms can be legitimately obtained in a type of Poké Ball other than the standard one. This is due to the ability to [[snagging|snag]] the starters' middle forms in {{g|Colosseum}}.

'''Charmander''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ヒトカゲ''' ''Hitokage'') is a {{type2|Fire}} Pokémon.

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

Along with {{p|Bulbasaur}} and {{p|Squirtle}}, it is one of three [[starter Pokémon]] the player receives at the beginning of [[Pokémon Red and Green Versions|Pokémon Red, Green]], [[Pokémon Red and Blue Versions|Blue]], [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions|FireRed, and LeafGreen]].

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Charmander is a reptilian creature resembling a bipedal {{wp|salamander}} with some dinosaur qualities. Its most notable feature is the flame burning on the tip of its tail, which is there even at birth. It is said that if this flame goes out, the Pokémon dies, although this has never happened in the anime, manga, or video games. It could perhaps be distantly related to some {{type2|Dragon}} Pokémon, and also {{p|Magmar}}, due to both Pokémon possessing a flame at the tips of their tails, but Charmander seems to only be closely related to its evolutions.

Despite the small size of its claws and the cute look on its face, they should be regarded with caution, since even they are strong and sharp enough that a Charmander can learn to use {{m|Slash}}.
====Gender differences====
None.

====Special abilities====
Charmander can breathe fire, which allows them to use a wide range of {{type2|Fire}} attacks. However, the strength of these are very closely connected to the strength and health of the Charmander, since it draws on the life force which fuels the flame on its tail to fuel the flames of its attacks. With time, it can learn powerful Fire-type techniques like {{m|Flamethrower}} and {{m|Fire Blast}}. It can even learn to breathe the blue flames of {{m|Dragon Rage}}, but Charmander can only use this move in the [[Generation II|Second Generation games]] and beyond. It can also use the flame on its tail to attack by swinging it about. However, these attacks are usually weaker than those from the flames Charmander breathes.

===Behavior===
Charmander is easily the most mild-mannered of its evolution line. Its health and emotions can be easily read by paying attention to the flame on the tip of its tail. For example, if the flame grows suddenly, the Charmander is probably angered, and perhaps even using a {{m|Rage}} attack. It is scarce in the wild. Most are domestic Pokémon, raised to be distributed as starters by [[Professor Oak]]. As such, they are regarded as well-behaved Pokémon. It is often regarded as the most difficult Pokémon to start with because it has a disadvantage against the first two [[Gym Leader]]s in [[Kanto]] ([[Brock]] and [[Misty]]).

There are some who choose it anyway under the impression that it is stronger than {{p|Bulbasaur}} or {{p|Squirtle}}. However, while a Charmander can certainly grow to be a very powerful Pokémon, its strength in battle is very closely connected to its condition and health. Therefore, like a real fire, it must be tended to regularly and not strained or neglected. Most trainers shouldn't have a problem with this, though impatient ones who expect it to be very strong right off the bat will have severe difficulty raising this Pokémon. In ''[[EP011|Charmander the Stray Pokémon]]'', a trainer named [[Damian]] abandoned his completely because of this. They are also stubbornly loyal. In that same episode, Charmander wouldn't move from the rock, because Damian told it to wait. Ash had to carry it because it refused to move, even in the rain.

===Habitat===
[[Image:Mountain.gif|right|frame|[[List of Pokémon by habitat#Mountain Pokémon|Mountain Pokémon]]]]
Charmander is rarely found in the wild. Sometimes they can gather in extremely hot areas, such as active volcanoes. They can also thrive in craggy mountains or in rocky, heated crags and caves along the coast of the Sevii Islands.Their final evolution, Charizard, also inhabits the [[Charicific Valley]] or near mountain chains. However they are found far more often in the ownership of trainers.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

Their diet is the usual omnivorous diet of a Pokémon. The few places where Charmander can be seen in the wild, they usually hunt and gather in small packs, and will call others over if any sort of food is found.

==In the anime==
[[Image:charmandergogotters.png||thumb|Charmander from the Team Go-Getters]]
===Major appearances===
A Charmander stars in ''[[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Team Go-Getters out of the Gate!]]'' as the leader of Team Go-Getters.

====[[Ash's Charizard|Ash's Charmander]]====
In ''[[EP011|Charmander the Stray Pokémon]]'', {{Ash}}, [[Misty]], and [[Brock]] came across a Charmander which had been abandoned by its trainer, [[Damian]], who only cared about strong Pokémon. At first, Charmander refused to leave the spot it was at, waiting for Damian to return. However, when a rainstorm picked up, Charmander grew ill and Ash took it to a [[Pokémon Center]]. Charmander realized that Damian was no good, and joined up with Ash. It has since evolved into {{p|Charmeleon}} and then {{AP|Charizard}}.
[[Image:Ash'sCharmander anime.gif|thumb|right|{{AP|Charmander|Charizard}} in the anime]]
====[[Zippo|Ritchie's Charmander]]====
[[Ritchie]] owned a Charmander named [[Zippo]], which debuted in ''[[EP078|A Friend In Deed]]''. Sometime before the [[Whirl Islands]] story arc, Zippo evolved into a Charmeleon.

====Other====
In ''[[H014|Journey to the Starting Line]]'', {{ka|Gilbert}} was intended to start his journey as a [[Pokémon Trainer]], but the trio of Kanto Starter Pokémon were scared off when [[Ash's Tauros]] stampeded through [[Professor Oak]]'s house. Professor Oak, {{Tracey}}, {{Delia}} and Gilbert split up in order to find the three missing Pokémon. The Charmander was the first one to be found. Tracey attempted to save the Salamander Pokémon from falling in a river, but [[Mimey]] saved both of them by using {{m|Psychic}} to lift them on to dry land.

===Minor appearances===
Charmander was mentioned in the first episode of the anime, ''[[EP001|Pokémon - I Choose You!]]'', as one of the three starter Pokémon new trainers in Pallet Town can choose from. Ash dreamed of owning one, although it was his last choice of a starter coming after {{p|Squirtle}} and {{p|Bulbasaur}}. However, when he arrived at Oak's lab, he found out it was too late, as another trainer who started the same day had already taken it.

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

Another Charmander was seen with Professor Oak in ''[[AG071|A Six Pack Attack!]]'' along with a {{p|Bulbasaur}} and {{P|Squirtle}}. Another was seen in ''[[AG133|The Right Place and The Right Mime]]'', along with another {{p|Bulbasaur}} and {{TP|May|Squirtle}}.

==In the manga==
In [[Pokémon PiPiPi Adventure]], the sickly trainer [[Peanut]] has an abrasive Charmander who is always getting into fights with other Pokémon.

In [[Pokémon Zensho]], [[Satoshi (Zensho)|Satoshi]] is given a Charmander as his starter Pokémon, while [[Shigeru (Zensho)|Shigeru]] chooses a {{p|Squirtle}}.

In the [[Pocket Monsters (manga)|Pocket Monsters manga]], Green (the rival) had a mischievous [[Kai Midorikawa's Charizard|Charmander]] that goes along with whatever his trainer wants him to do. It tends to be very antagonistic toward Red's {{p|Clefairy}}.

Ash's Charmander is shown once or twice in the [[Electric Tale of Pikachu]]. Oddly enough, it appears to be an entirely different Charmander than the one owned by [[Damian]], as Damian and his Charmander were reunited.

===Pokémon Special===
Charmander debuted in the first round of the [[Red, Green & Blue chapter (Special)|Red, Green & Blue chapter]], ''[[PS001|A Glimpse of the Glow]]'', as one of {{Special|Green}}'s first Pokémon, likely received from his grandfather [[Professor Oak]]. It has since evolved into {{p|Charmeleon}} and then {{p|Charizard}}, and is part of his Gym team.

==Trivia==
* In the film ''{{wp|Austin Powers in Goldmember}}'', in the scene where the 'Godzilla' moves about destroying everything, an actor in the foreground, wearing a Charmander suit, and another actor, in the background wearing a {{p|Pikachu}} suit, can be seen trying to move away from the ensuing chaos.
* Charmander is the first {{t|Fire}} Pokémon and the first single-type Pokémon in [[National Dex]] order.
* In the first generation, Charmander's "back" is depicted as having a small line of spikes. The spikes were not shown in the sprites of later [[generation]]s. Charmander also had these spikes in the [[Pokémon Special]] manga, the spikes were larger and easier to see. The spikes were also seen on [[Kai Midorikawa's Charmander]] from the [[Pocket Monsters (manga)|Pocket Monsters manga]]. This spike can also be seen on the Green Charmander sprite.
* Charmander appears in the fewest anime episodes of any Kanto starter Pokémon; it only appears when owned by {{Ash}} (after adopting it) and [[Ritchie]].
*In the US T.V show, ''{{wp|Malcolm in the Middle}}'', a Charmander doll can be seen sitting on the bed in some episodes, along with a Squirtle doll.
* Charmander is the tallest of the Fire-type starters.
* Charmander is the only Fire-type starter that is in the {{egg3|Monster}}.
===Origin===
Charmander may have been partially inspired by the {{wp|salamander}}, an amphibian bearing a slender body, short nose, and a long tail; it exhibits other physical lizard like characteristics. The salamander and Charmander themselves may have been {{wp|Salamander#Mythology_and_popular_culture|inspired}} by the mythological creature of the same name, the {{wp|Salamander (legendary creature)|salamander}}; fire-spirits who survive in extreme heat or flames, sometimes creatively rendered and interpreted to be in the shape of lizards.
====Name origin====
Charmander is a portmanteau of the words ''char'', to burn, and ''{{wp|salamander}}''. ''Hitokage'', on the other hand, comes from 火蜥蜴, which is also salamander. 火 ''hi'' and 蜥蜴 ''tokage'' separately means "fire lizard".

==In other languages==
* [[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Glumanda - Derived from ''Glut'' (ember, also the German translation for the {{M2|Ember|move of the same name}}) and ''{{wp|Salamander}}''.
* [[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Salamèche - From ''Salamandre'' (salamander) and ''mèche'' ({{wp|wick}}).
* [[List of Korean Pokémon names|Korean]]: 파이리 ''Fili'' - Derived from the English words ''fire'' (파이어) and ''lizard'' (리자드).
* [[List of Chinese Pokémon names|Chinese]] (Hong Kong and Taiwan): 小火龍 ''Xíao Hűo Lóng'' - "Little fire dragon".

'''Dratini''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ミニリュウ''' ''Miniryu'') is a {{type2|Dragon}} Pokémon.

It [[evolve]]s into {{p|Dragonair}} starting at [[level]] 30, who evolves into {{p|Dragonite}} starting at level 55.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Dratini are serpentine Pokémon that inhabit lakes and rivers. They possess fins on the sides of their heads as well as a large, round silver nose on their face. They are constantly growing, and can become quite long. As they grow, they {{a2|Shed Skin|shed their delicate deep blue skin}}.

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

====Special abilities====

===Behavior===
Dratini are timid, elusive, and extremely shy Pokémon, causing them to be rarely seen, making people to believe it is a myth among certain communities in Kanto.

===Habitat===
[[Image:Watersedge.gif|right|frame|[[List of Pokémon by habitat#Water's-edge Pokémon|Water's-edge Pokémon]]]]
Dratini are said to be nonexistent or one-of-a-kind Pokémon, as they are so rare. However, they are found in several places, including the [[Kanto Safari Zone]], [[Dragon's Den]], and [[Mt. Coronet]].

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

==In the anime==
{{bad picture|section}}
[[Image:DratiniAnime.jpg|frame|right|Dratini in the anime]]Dratini first appeared in [[EP035]]. The Warden of the [[Kanto Safari Zone|Safari Zone]] was protecting the Tiny Dragon Pokémon. The episode was banned from English-audience due to excessive use of a firearm.

Dratini was also in ''[[EP251|Beauty is Skin Deep]]''. This Dratini belonged to [[Clair]] and [[Team Rocket]] wanted to steal it from her. Clair's Dratini evolved into a {{TP|Clair|Dragonair}} at the end of the episode.

==In the manga==
===Pokémon Special===
Dratini first debuted in [[PS036|''Drat That Dratini!'']] in the [[Viridian Forest]]. It had been attacking {{Special|Yellow}} but was calmed by {{special|Red}}.

Dratini was seen in a flashback of [[Lance]]'s as a Pokémon harmed by human industrialization. This motivated Lance to formulate his plot to destroy humanity many years later.

==Trivia==
*Dratini's prototype name was "Dragoon," meaning a European military unit, but was probably used as a play on the word "dragon," or as a combination of "dragon" and "lagoon."
*Controversy in [[EP035|the episode]] where Dratini is introduced caused the episode to be banned from American audiences due to a character placing a gun in Ash's face (among a few others). Dratini and Dragonair have made appearances since, unlike {{p2|Porygon|other Pokémon from banned episodes}}.
*Dratini's [[Pokémon Red and Blue Versions|Red, Blue]], and [[Pokémon Red and Green Versions|Green]] sprites looked more like snakes or worms than dragons because of the stripes on its underbelly (which were removed in Yellow).
*Dratini is the first {{type2|Dragon}} Pokémon by [[National Pokédex]] order. It is also the last Pokémon to have a [[Generation I]] type that is not shared with a Pokémon of a lower number.
**Dratini's evolutionary family is the only Dragon-type family in Generation I.
*Dratini and its evolutions share the same [[species]] name with {{p|Horsea}} and its evolutions, and {{p|Salamence}}. They are all known as Dragon Pokémon.
*In its {{2v2|Gold|Silver}} {{shiny2}} sprites, it's shown to be a slightly darker blue. However in the newer games, its shiny form is a lighter shade of purple.
** Also, in its Generation III sprites, its body is colored purple. This was reverted to blue in its {{2v2|Diamond|Pearl}} sprites.
*Dratini's {{2v2|Red|Blue}} sprites look similar to the East Sea {{p|Shellos}}.

===Origin===
It appears to be based upon {{wp|sea serpent}}s or ''lóng'', traditional {{wp|Chinese dragon}}s who bring good luck.
====Name origin====
Dratini's name appears to be a combination of ''{{wp|dragon}}'' and ''teeny'', meaning small. Despite this, it is fairly large for a [[Pokémon]], being nearly six feet (1.8 meters) in length. Its Japanese name, a combination of ''miniature'' and 竜 ''ryū'', dragon, has a similar meaning.

==In other languages==
*[[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Dratini
*[[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Minidraco - Comes from ''miniature'' and ''draco'', (Latin for "dragon").
*[[List of Korean Pokémon names|Korean]]: 미뇽 ''Minyong''

'''Linoone''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''マッスグマ''' ''Massuguma'') is a {{type2|Normal}} [[Pokémon]].

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

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Linoone are little weasel/badger-like creatures. Their long bodies are like a weasel's, and their sharp elongated claws are like a badger's. They also have small sharp teeth that are efficiently used with their claws in hunting.

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

====Special abilities====
Since Linoone have a keen sense of smell, they are able to locate and {{a|Pickup}} items while its trainer walks around.

When the Generation IV games were introduced, Linoone was given another ability. Due to the fact that it loves berries more than almost anything else, it is a complete {{a2|Gluttony|glutton}} when it comes to them.

===Behavior===
Linoone are incredibly fast, but they aren't the best at cornering, so they typically run in a straight line. Linoone have an attraction to anything round, and will grab any orb-shaped object they see if given the chance. They often carry a snatched object in their expandable cheek pouches and deposit it in any of a number of secret stashes they keep on their territory.

===Habitat===
[[Image:Grassland.gif|right|frame|[[List of Pokémon by habitat#Grassland Pokémon|Grassland Pokémon]]]]
Linoone tend to live in forests and grasslands, similar to actual {{wp|racoon}}s.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

==In the anime==
[[Image:Linoone anime.png|thumb|right|210px|Linoone in the anime]]
Linoone made a cameo in the {{pkmn|movie}} ''[[Jirachi: Wish Maker]]'' as one of the Pokémon living in [[Forina]].

In ''[[AG112|Showdown at Linoone]]'', a Linoone nicknamed "Token" had developed a bad habit of stealing anything round.

In ''[[AG155|Green Guardian]]'', [[Solana]] used her [[Capture Styler]] to get help from three of Linoone to slash the vines.

In ''[[DP005|Gettin' Twiggy With It!]]'', an injured Linoone is nursed back to health.

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

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

==Game data==
===NPC appearances===
[[Pokémon Pinball: Ruby & Sapphire]]: When {{p|Chikorita}} uses {{m|Razor Leaf}} on the Ruby Field, two Linoone will pop out. Hitting the left Linoone will make a {{p|Gulpin}} appear, activating Travel Mode when there are three Gulpin on the table. Hitting the right Linoone will change the stance of {{p|Makuhita}} allowing it to punch the ball towards the Upgrade.

===Pokédex entries===
{{Dex
|type=normal
|gen=3
|rubydex=Linoone always runs full speed and only in straight lines. If facing an obstacle, it makes a right-angle turn to evade it. This Pokémon is very challenged by gently curving roads.
|sapphiredex=When hunting, Linoone will make a beeline straight for the prey at a full run. While this Pokémon is capable of topping 60 mph, it has to come to a screeching halt before it can turn.
|emeralddex=It is exceedingly fast if it only has to run in a straight line. When it spots pond-dwelling prey underwater, it quickly leaps in and catches it with its sharp claws.
|firereddex=When running in a straight line, it can top 60 miles per hour. However, it has a tough time with curved roads.
|leafgreendex=When running in a straight line, it can top 60 miles per hour. However, it has a tough time with curved roads.
|diamonddex=It charges prey at speeds over 60 mph. However, because it can only run straight, it often fails.
|pearldex=It charges prey at speeds over 60 mph. However, because it can only run straight, it often fails.
|platinumdex=It charges prey at speeds over 60 mph. However, because it can only run straight, it often fails.

==Trivia==
*Linoone's [[Generation IV]] Sprite is nearly identical to its [[Generation III]] sprite.
===Origin===
Linoone is probably based on a {{wp|badger}}.

====Name origin====
Linoone's name may be a combination of ''line'', referring to its sleek appearance, and ''{{wp|raccoon}}''. It could also be referring to its ability to only run in straight lines. Its Japanese name may be a combination of ''mass'', referring to its growth since evolving, and 穴熊 ''anaguma'', badger. Some also say that its name is derived from まっすぐ ''massugu'', meaning straight, as in a line.

'''Palkia''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''パルキア''' ''Palkia'') is a dual-type {{2t|Water|Dragon}} [[legendary Pokémon]].

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

Palkia is the version mascot of [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Versions|Pokémon Pearl]], appearing on the boxart.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Palkia looks dinosaur-like, similar to Dialga, though it seems to be based off of a therapod. It possesses wings, and does possess the ability to fly, as all legendary pokemon do. It has plates on its shoulder area, where two pink pearls lie encrusted. Palkia has a long neck and a powerful tail.

====Gender differences====
Palkia is a genderless species.

====Special abilities====
Palkia has the ability to warp space. In the Pearl version of the game, it is mentioned on the statue in [[Eterna City]] that it can create alternate realities.

Palkia's skills in battle are mostly the same as Dialga's, except that Palkia can learn a handful of {{type2|Water}} moves. Palkia is also slightly faster than Dialga and has weaker defensive stats. Palkia is one of the rare species that knows the move [[Aura Sphere]].

Palkia's powers can be amplified with the {{DL|Type-enhancing item|Lustrous Orb}}.

In {{g|Mystery Dungeon 2}}, Palkia travels by creating a large yellow sphere from its two pearls, then using it to fly very fast.

Palkia is the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] that learns {{m|Spacial Rend}} (apart from an event {{p|Darkrai}} released for the tenth movie in Japan, another released in US, and {{p|Smeargle}} who can {{m|Sketch}} it).

===Behavior===
Like Dialga, Palkia lives in a different dimension, making its behavior nearly impossible to study.

===Habitat===
Legends say that it lives "in a gap in the spatial dimension parallel to ours."

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

==In the anime==
[[Image:Palkia anime.png|right|250px|thumb|{{an|Palkia}} in the anime]]
{{an|Palkia}} makes an appearance in ''[[The Rise of Darkrai]]'' along with {{an|Dialga}} and {{an|Darkrai}}, in which it fights with Dialga and nearly destroys [[Alamos Town]].

In ''[[Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]'', it did not have a main role, but appeared in a flashback to its battle with Dialga from the previous movie.

Finally, in ''[[Arceus: To a Conquering Spacetime]]'', Palkia, alongside {{an|Dialga}} and {{an|Giratina}}, start a battle which awakens an [[Arceus (Pokémon)|ancient power.]]

A silhouette of Palkia appeared in ''[[DP033|All Dressed up with Somewhere to Go]]''.

Palkia's statue appears with its silhouette in ''[[DP036|A Secret Sphere of Influence!]]''.

Palkia's statue also appeared in [[DP110]] and [[DP111]].

Palkia also makes a cameo in the ''[[Together]]'' and ''{{so|Diamond and Pearl}}'' openings.

==In the manga==

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

==Other appearances==
===Super Smash Bros. Brawl===
[[Image:SSBBSpearPillarPalkia.png|right|thumb|Palkia on Spear Pillar]]
Palkia occasionally appears on the [[Spear Pillar (stage)|Spear Pillar]] stage as one of three Pokémon that controls it. Unlike Dialga and {{p|Cresselia}}, it'll use its powers to distort the stage however possible. Some examples include tilting the stage, turning the stage completely upside down and reversing the screen itself (the last two will cause the movement controls to be reversed temporarily). It often shoot beams in the cave below, dealing a lot of damage to the players that get caught in the blast.

==Game data==
===NPC appearances===
* {{g|Mystery Dungeon 2}}: Palkia accuses the player and its partner that they are the one responsible for the distortion of fabric of space. Later, Palkia confronts them and bring them to [[Spacial Rift]].

==Trivia==
* Palkia's US name was revealed, along with Dialga's, on 20th January 2006.
* Palkia has a [[footprint]] that is the same shape as crowns. The other two members of the dragon trio, {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Giratina}}, also have crown-shaped footprints.
* Palkia and {{p|Kingdra}} are the only two Pokémon that are {{t|Water}}/{{t|Dragon}} type.
** Due to this, Palkia is the only member of the [[dragon trio]] that does not have a unique type combination.
* In [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon 2]], Palkia, along with {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Regigigas}}, all speak in capital letters, unlike the other Pokémon in the game.
* Palkia, along with Dialga and {{p|Phione}}, has the second highest [[catch rate]] after {{p|Shaymin}} out of all the legendary Pokémon, with a catch rate of 30.
* Although Palkia is genderless in the main games, it is referred to as a male in [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon 2]].
* Palkia and {{p|Dialga}} are the first legendary Pokémon to be met at a level that is not divisible by 5, appearing at Level 47.
**This only applies to {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}, due to the fact that in {{g|Platinum}}, they are both encountered at level 70.
* Palkia is in the highest [[IQ]] group. It takes this position in IQ group J and is the only Pokémon in IQ group J.

===Origin===
Palkia is likely based after a European {{wp|dragon}} with a {{wp|pearl}}. Like {{p|Dialga}}'s origin possibly from the largest sauropod dinosaur, {{wp|Amphicoelias}}, Palkia may be based on another sauropod, the bipedal {{wp|Plateosaurus}}.
====Name origin====
The ''Pal (Paru)'' in its name is derived from the Japanese word for pearl, パール ''pāru''.
