{{search|header|the homonymous card from the {{TCG|Skyridge}} expansion|Mystery Zone (Skyridge 137)}}
{{GlitchResearch|Multiple sources state various things about the Generation IV Mystery Zone and void; this should be clarified and more information pertaining to Generations V and VI should be looked into and documented accordingly.}}
[[File:Mystery Zone.png|right|thumb|{{ga|Lucas}} riding the [[bicycle]] on the Mystery Zone in {{game|Platinum}}.]]
The '''Mystery Zone''' (Japanese: '''なぞの{{tt|場所|ばしょ}}''' ''Mystery Zone'') is an internal map identification header that is programmed into every [[Version|core series]] game since [[Generation IV]].

In the Generation IV games, it is used for undefined areas that are located beyond the boundaries of normally accessible areas. Specifically in {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}, the Mystery Zone refers to all the area surrounding [[Sinnoh]] that facilitates the precise entry into [[the Underground]], which has tunnels that travel under areas where no [[route]]s or cities exist; this is due to the game relating map coordinates corresponding to the exact location of the {{player}} in Sinnoh to the equivalent coordinates of the player's expected location in the Underground.

In the [[Generation V]] games, the undefined areas use the map identification header and background music of the location from which they were entered. For example, in {{game|Black and White|s 2|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2}}, if the player keeps heading north of {{rt|19|Unova}}, going outside the boundaries of the map, the game will still recognize the location as being "Route 19" until the player arrives at another normally accessible location.

The Japanese versions of {{game|Platinum}}, {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}} instead identify the undefined areas as ----; however, they still identify a {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}'s {{pkmn2|caught}} location set to the Mystery Zone as なぞのばしょ.

==In Generation IV==
===Geography===
The geography is made predominantly of 32-by-32 blocks of either trees, [[Water tile|water]], plateau, or blank void space. The area itself is named "Mystery Zone", with the location header popping up to display this name when the area is entered.

No {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} or [[item]]s are found in the Mystery Zone.

===Access===
The Mystery Zone is normally inaccessible, but can be entered by means of [[tweaking]]. In earlier copies of the Japanese versions of {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}, the [[Surf glitch]] is an alternative method. It can also be accessed with the use of [[cheating]] devices.

===Music===
In {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}, the background music theme is usually the variant of ２０６ばんどうろ（{{tt|昼|ひる}}） ''[[Pokémon Diamond & Pearl Super Music Collection|Route 206 (Day)]]'' (identified internally as '''SEQ_DUMMY'''), which is thought to be an older composition of it. Less commonly, ポケモンセンター（{{tt|昼|ひる}}） ''[[Pokémon Diamond & Pearl Super Music Collection|Pokémon Center (Day)]]'' or ちかつうろ ''[[Pokémon Diamond & Pearl Super Music Collection|The Underground]]'' are played instead.

{{youtubevid|trRUKd9xiH4|gamma3adhexius|sinnoh}}

In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, the background music theme is ２９ばんどうろ ''[[Nintendo DS Pokémon HeartGold & SoulSilver Music Super Complete|Route 29]]''. The [[GB Sounds]] also does not affect the Mystery Zone, meaning the respective track will not play there.

===Oddities and glitches===
[[File:Beta219.jpg|right|thumb|Pre-release screenshot of {{rt|219|Sinnoh}}, depicting the unused tile set that is used in the Mystery Zone on the final releases.]]
When walking through mountainous terrain in the Mystery Zone, the {{player}}'s sprite may become hidden by the terrain. The screen may also appear to zoom in as one enters the area, due to the fact that the terrain is completely flat. Certain areas of the Mystery Zone may cause a [[game freeze]] while others will lock up the game with a black screen if the player refreshes the graphics there. [[Saving]] in one of these areas will cause the game to lock up like this whenever the resulting save file is opened, causing it to become unusable. Examples of such areas are those bordering the {{DL|Elite Four|Sinnoh Elite Four}}'s rooms in {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}.

By traveling from one area to another through the Mystery Zone, the {{wp|Tile-based video game#Tile set|tile set}}s will not be updated even if the new area is programmed to use a different tile set. Currently loaded {{wp|3D computer graphics|3D}} props, such as buildings, are subject to this as well. Simply refreshing the graphics will solve this. [[Sinnoh]]'s Mystery Zone has its own tile set which can be seen by entering it from the overworld, refreshing the graphics there, and then returning to the overworld. This tile set was actually depicted in a pre-release screenshot of {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}, indicating that it is a leftover from [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl beta|the development period]]. It also remains within the internal data of {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}.

Occasionally, the game can be tricked into thinking that the {{player}} is somewhere else while in the Mystery Zone. A common result of this behavior is in {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}, where the game displays the [[Turnback Cave]] or [[Floaroma Meadow]] header and triggers {{Weather|fog}}, while the floor remains black and the map displays that the player is on {{rt|221|Sinnoh}}. This occurs when the player goes outside of the map matrix and the game cannot indicate where the player really is on the world map.

On the first copies of the Japanese version of {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}, the [[menu]] can be opened and one of its entries can be accessed and exited in order to refresh the graphics. On later copies, international releases as well as in all releases of {{game|Platinum}}, the menu cannot be opened and the touchscreen menu cannot be used, although a registered [[key item]] can still be used to refresh the graphics in the area at any time.

==In Generations V and VI==
The "Mystery Zone" is simply an unused map identification header in the internal data that can be set as a {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}'s {{pkmn2|caught}} location through illegitimate means. The [[Egg]] received through the Egg glitch in [[Pokémon X and Y]] is noted to have come from the Mystery Zone.

'''About Me'''

I'm a 16 year old human being living in the United States who loves Pokémon. My first Pokémon game was Pokémon Pearl Version, and Pokémon the Movie 3: Spell of the Unown was what first introduced me to Pokémon. I'm a fan of the Playstation 3 and of my PC, and I hate the Xbox. My favorite Pokémon are Charizard and Tyranitar, and I absolutely hate Jigglypuff and Iris in the anime. That's pretty much everything you need to know. Oh, wait, that's not enough for you? Well, then, I'll at least tell you that my favorite episode of the Pokémon anime is Charizard Chills, an episode from the Orange Islands saga.

'''My Video Games'''

I own quite a few video games, ranging from Halo to Batman: Arkham City to Pokémon. I currently own a PS3, Wii U, gaming PC, and a 3DS (of course). I'll pretty much play any video game I find interesting, and the only video game franchise I will never even consider for a second is the Call of Duty franchise. The Last of Us and Pokémon X Version currently tie at the Number 1 spot on my list of Top 10 Games of 2013.

'''Me on Bulbapedia'''

I joined Bulbapedia on February 11th, 2012. As of October 27th, 2013, I have made 266 edits to the mainspace. I usually contribute to articles that have to do with game canon or anime canon, and I rarely make manga or fandom edits. I often like to shadow the pages I have recently edited. As of October 27th, 2013, I have created three articles, [[Reshiphlosion (TCG)|one thing for the TCG]], [[Unova Pokedex (Toy)|one thing for Merchandise]], and [[Lumiose City save glitch|one thing for Project Glitchdex]].

Lumiose City save glitch

2013-10-28T00:20:44Z

Charizard101: /* Fix */

The '''Lumiose City save glitch''' is a glitch that occurs in [[Pokémon X and Y Versions]]. The glitch occurs whenever the game is saved and reloaded in the North and South Boulevards of Lumiose City and causes the game to not load properly. Nintendo acknowledged the existence of this bug, and released a patch in the Nintendo eShop to fix the bug.

== Performing the glitch ==
In order to trigger the effects of this glitch, the player must save the game in the North or South Boulevards in Lumiose City. Then, upon reloading the game, there is a large chance that the game will fail to load properly, resulting in what appears to be a game freeze.

== Effects ==
Upon reloading the game, the player will find that they cannot continue from the point they saved at when the glitch was triggered. The player will be unable to move or use the touch screen, and certain textures will fail to load properly. However, despite the apparent freeze, the background music will continue to play. Due to the fact that the player cannot proceed past this point, and that the save file will continue to fail to load, this glitch will prevent the player from progressing any further in the game and will force them to start a new save file.

== Fix ==
Nintendo quickly acknowledged the problem, and, on October 25, 2013, they released a patch to move the game up to version 1.1. This patch fixed the Lumiose City glitch as well as the [[:#GTS filter glitch|GTS filter glitch]]. The glitch can, however, still occur in any game that has not yet updated to the new version.

'''Endeavor''' (Japanese: '''がむしゃら''' ''Daredevil'') is a damage-dealing {{type|Normal}} [[move]] introduced in [[Generation III]].

==Effect==
Endeavor causes the target's {{stat|HP}} to equal the user's current HP. It will deduct the difference from the target's HP. This move will fail if the user has more HP left than the target.

'''Wish''' (Japanese: '''ねがいごと''' ''Wish'') is a non-damaging {{type|Normal}} [[move]] introduced in [[Generation III]].

==Effect==
===Generation III===
The turn Wish is used, the user will make a wish. At the end of the next turn, the Pokémon in the user's current position will be healed by half its own maximum HP.

Wish can still be used even if the user's HP is full, but will do nothing if the Pokémon that should be healed has full HP.

===Generation IV===
While the effects of Wish have stayed the same, the order in which events happen in a given turn have changed, and Wish now kicks in before a Pokémon switches in for a Pokémon knocked out in that turn, meaning Wish can be wasted in such a situation.

===Generation V===
Wish is now affected by the move {{m|Snatch}} and heals half of the user's maximum HP rather than the recipient's.
==Description==
{{movedesc|Normal}}
{{movedescentry|{{gameabbrev3|RSE}}{{gameabbrev3|Colo}}{{gameabbrev3|XD}}|A wish that restores HP. It takes time to work.}}
{{movedescentry|{{gameabbrev3|FRLG}}|A self-healing move that restores half the full HP on the next turn.}}

'''Mewtwo''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ミュウツー''' ''Mewtwo'') is a {{type|Psychic}} {{pkmn2|legendary}} Pokémon.

While it is not known to [[evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon, it can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into two different forms: '''Mega Mewtwo X''' using {{DL|Mega Stone|Mewtwonite X}} and '''Mega Mewtwo Y''' using {{DL|Mega Stone|Mewtwonite Y}}.

It is among the most well-known Pokémon, being the star of [[M01|the first movie]] and, in Generation I, the most powerful Pokémon in regards to its total base stats. It is a member of the [[Mew duo]] along with {{p|Mew}}.

==Biology==
Mewtwo is one of the first [[artificial Pokémon|Pokémon created by science]]. It is a bipedal, humanoid creature with some feline feature. It is primarily gray with a long purple tail. On top of its head are two short, blunt horns, and it has purple eyes. There is a tube that extends from the back of its skull to the top of its spine, bypassing its neck. It has a defined chest and shoulders, which resemble a breastplate. The three digits on each hand and foot have spherical tips. Its tail is thick at the base, but thins before ending in a small bulb.

Mega Mewtwo X is larger and bulkier than its normal state. The horns on its head are longer, thinner, and have pointed tips. Its eyes are now light blue, and it has large, purple growths over its shoulders. Its forearms and thighs have several raised ridges, and its digits are now longer and thinner. The tail is slightly shorter than before and has a curled tip.

In comparison, Mega Mewtwo Y is smaller, lighter, and loses its long tail. However, it grows a long, purple appendage with a curled tip from the back of its head that is similar to its previous form's tail. It has two pointed spikes on its head and a half-ring structure over its head. Its eyes are now red and slightly larger. A bumpy ridge similar to a {{wp|sternum}} replaces the breastplate structure on its chest. The digits on its hands and feet are now purple and more bulbous, and the middle toe is longer than the others are.

Mewtwo was created by scientists, who gave it powerful fighting abilities. Because of the way in which it was created, it is said to have a savage heart lacking in compassion. However, as shown in [[Mewtwo Returns|the anime]], Mewtwo can be caring, protective, and even altruistic. As seen in [[M01|the first movie]] Mewtwo is capable of levitation, speaking telepathically, and controlling the minds of other living beings. Conserving energy by remaining motionless, Mewtwo is able to unleash its full power in battle. It is also capable of materializing psychic waves in the form of its [[signature move]], {{m|Psystrike}}. Though {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Rare Pokémon|rarely seen}} in the wild, it is said to be resting in a dark cave somewhere.

==History==
According to the [[Pokémon Mansion journals|scientific logs]] found in the {{ka|Pokémon Mansion}} of [[Cinnabar Island]], Mewtwo was born of a pregnant {{p|Mew}}, found deep in the jungles of [[Guyana]], whose embryo had been tampered with to alter its DNA. It was held and studied in the mansion where the scientists, including [[Blaine]] and [[Mr. Fuji]], performed horrific gene-splicing experiments that made it vicious and extremely powerful. It eventually broke free of the Mansion, destroying it in the process, and fled. It can be encountered in [[Cerulean Cave]], accessible only after a Trainer has proven his or her skill at the [[Indigo Plateau]].

==In the anime==

[[File:Mega Mewtwo anime.png|thumb|left|250px|Mega Mewtwo Y in the anime]]

===Major appearances===
====[[Mewtwo (anime)]]====
While Mewtwo has been the Pokémon of focus of a {{pkmn|movie}} and a special, it also made brief appearances in ''[[EP063|The Battle of the Badge]]'' and ''[[EP065|Showdown at the Po-ké Corral]]'' in its body armor. The first instance was when {{an|Giovanni}} used it to battle {{Gary}}'s {{TP|Gary|Arcanine}} and {{p|Nidoking}}. The second time was when Mewtwo totaled Giovanni's headquarters and flew off. While a scene involving Mewtwo and Giovanni did appear in ''[[EP064|It's Mr. Mime Time]]'', it wasn't in the movie. Mewtwo made further appearances during the openings of ''[[M06|Jirachi Wish Maker]]'' standing on a rooftop wearing a cape, in the intro of ''[[M07|Destiny Deoxys]]'' and ''[[M10|The Rise of Darkrai]]'', chasing a {{p|Mew}}.

====[[Mewtwo (M16)]]====
Another Mewtwo debuted, along with its Mega Evolved state, in the special episode [[SS026]], a prologue to ''[[M16|Genesect and the Legend Awakened]]''. In the special, Mewtwo escaped from its creators and fought against a [[Pokémon hunter]] named [[Danku]], while [[Virgil]] attempted to help protect it.

It appeared in ''[[M16|Genesect and the Legend Awakened]]'' as both its normal form and Mega Mewtwo Y. At the beginning of the film, Mewtwo encountered the [[Genesect Army]], who were looking for their home. After a short conflict, the Army departed, and Mewtwo followed them to [[New Tork City]]. It met {{Ash}} and his friends, then got into a great conflict with the Red Genesect leading the Army.

====Other====
A {{pkmn2|mirage}} Mewtwo appears in ''[[The Mastermind of Mirage Pokémon]]'' and is the most powerful Pokémon controlled by the [[Dr. Yung|Mirage Master]].

==Trivia==
* Mewtwo was the first Pokémon seen in the English dub, as it appears at the very beginning of the [[Pokémon Theme|first dub opening]].
* Mewtwo and {{p|Lugia}} have the highest [[base stats|base stat totals]] of all {{t|Psychic}} types.
* Mewtwo is the only Pokémon with a [[List of Pokémon by base stats|680 base stat total]] that is not a [[version mascot]] and is also the only one that is not part of any [[legendary trio]]s.
** Among these Pokémon, Mewtwo is the only one that received a [[signature move]] outside of its [[Generation I|debut generation]]. Mewtwo had no signature move until [[Generation V]], when it became the only Pokémon able to learn {{m|Psystrike}}.
* A [[Pokémon Mansion journals|journal]] quote from the {{ka|Pokémon Mansion}} states that Mewtwo's birthday is February 6.
* Mewtwo can learn damaging moves of all types except {{t|Dragon}} and {{t|Fairy}}.
* An image of Mewtwo is seen on the door to [[Bill]]'s lighthouse in ''[[EP013|Mystery at the Lighthouse]]'' even though Mewtwo had only been seen by [[Team Rocket scientists|its creators]] and [[Team Rocket]] at that point in the anime.
* Although Mewtwo is a clone of {{p|Mew}}, it comes before Mew in the Pokédex.
* The island country of {{wp|Niue}} released a one-dollar coin featuring Mewtwo as part of a commemorative promotion for the Pokémon franchise, with Mewtwo on the reverse side and the nation's crest on the obverse.
* Mewtwo's Mega Evolutions are tied for the highest base total of all Pokémon, with 780 each.

===Origin===
Like Mew, Mewtwo has some {{wp|feline}} characteristics. Its body structure is much larger as a result of {{wp|gene splicing}}. Mewtwo also has some characteristics of a {{wp|grey alien}}.

====Name origin====
Mewtwo is a combination of ''{{p|Mew}}'' (the Pokémon it originated from) and ''two'' (indicating that it is a clone). It also sounds somewhat similar to ''{{wp|mutant}}'' (ミュータント).

'''Raikou''' (Japanese: '''ライコウ''' ''Raikou'') is an {{type|Electric}} [[legendary Pokémon]].

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

Along with {{p|Entei}} and {{p|Suicune}}, it is one of the [[legendary beasts]] created by {{p|Ho-Oh}} after the burning of the [[Burned Tower|Brass Tower]]. Of the three legendary beasts, Raikou is said to represent the lightning strike which ignited the fire that consumed the Brass Tower.

==Biology==
Raikou is a quadruped, yellow, tiger-like Pokémon with black stripes and a white underside. It has a thin, light blue tail with sharp angles and a spark-shaped formation at the end. Raikou's mane looks like dull purple rain clouds and allows it to shoot bolts of lighting. Most of its face consists of thick, white fur and shorter yellow fur around its red eyes. Raikou's muzzle is a light blue "X" and it has a black faceplate with two bumps that covers its forehead, nose, and ears. Raikou has two long fangs that make its appearance similar to the {{wp|saber-toothed cat}}. Its large claws each converge to form a single point and never retract. Extra fur hangs off its body in front of its rear thighs.

[[SS023|As seen in the anime]], Raikou is able to fly by creating storm clouds. [[The Legend of Thunder!|It is shown]] to be distrustful of humans, though it may form some friendship with those who help it. Raikou tends to appear during thunderstorms and when other Electric-type Pokémon are in danger. Raikou races across {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Grassland Pokémon|grasslands}} while barking cries that sound like thunder.

==In the anime==
[[File:The Legend of Thunder.png|left|thumb|220px|Raikou in the anime]]
[[File:Raikou M13.png|thumb|left|220px|A {{Shiny}} Raikou in the anime]]
===Major appearances===
====[[Raikou (The Legend of Thunder!)]]====
Raikou appeared in the [[Pokémon Chronicles]] episode, ''[[The Legend of Thunder!]]'' where members of [[Team Rocket]] hunt down and attempt to catch Raikou.

====[[legendary beasts (M13)|Raikou (M13)]]====
A [[legendary beasts (M13)|Shiny Raikou]] made its first movie appearance alongside {{p|Celebi}}, and the other members of its [[legendary beasts|trio]] in the thirteenth Pokémon movie, ''[[M13|Zoroark: Master of Illusions]]''.

====Other====
Raikou appears at the end of [[SS023]], the second half of the special episode based on [[Pokémon Ranger: Guardian Signs]].

===Minor appearances===
Raikou first appeared in ''[[EP180|Houndoom's Special Delivery]]''. It was spotted by {{TP|Misty|Togepi|Togetic}} and a {{p|Houndoom}} before it disappeared.

The [[Mauville City]] [[Gym Leader]] [[Wattson]] owns many Raikou robots which he uses in his Gym.

Raikou made a small cameo at the opening of ''[[M08|Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]'' and ''[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]''.

Raikou also had a minor appearance in {{an|Dawn}}'s {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}}'s dream in ''[[DP137|Three Sides to Every Story!]]''.

{{Animedexbody|The Legend of Thunder!|Raikou|Jimmy's Pokédex|Raikou, the Thunder Pokémon. It is said to have descended to earth on a bolt of lightning.}}
{{Animedexfooter/Pokémon|original|Johto}}

==In the manga==
[[File:Anabel Adventures.png|thumb|{{FB|Salon Maiden|Anabel}} and Raikou in Pokémon Adventures]]
===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
Raikou was awakened by {{adv|Yellow}} along with its two counterparts, and the three raced around [[Kanto]] and [[Johto]] looking for {{pkmn|Trainer}}s to help them defeat the [[Masked Man]] to free {{p|Ho-Oh}} and repay the debt of the latter for saving its life. Nearing the end of the chapter, Raikou eventually pairs up with [[Lt. Surge]] after encountering and escaping [[Falkner]], and later {{adv|Gold}}. Once Ho-Oh is freed and [[Pryce]], the true identity of the Masked Man, is defeated, it once again roams the lands of Johto with {{p|Suicune}} and {{p|Entei}}.

{{FB|Salon Maiden|Anabel}} also owns a Raikou in the {{ho|Battle Frontier}} saga. It has been confirmed that it is the same Raikou as the one that befriended Gold, having caught it sometime before the {{chap|Emerald}} in Johto. Raikou is more powerful than any other Electric-type Pokémon in the manga because billowing thunder clouds follow it everywhere carried on its back, allowing it to perform powerful attacks, such as {{m|Thunder}}, more quickly and efficiently than regular Electric Pokémon. Despite clearly possessing sentient intelligence like its fellow beasts, it obeyed Anabel's commands to battle {{adv|Emerald}} without question while she was under psychic control of [[Guile Hideout]]. After he is defeated and the Battle Frontier is saved, Raikou is seen interacting with Gold and {{adv|Crystal}}, and has not appeared since.

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

==Other appearances==
===[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]===
When released from a [[Poké Ball]], Raikou releases a powerful {{m|Spark}} attack that electrocutes any opponents that get caught in it. Raikou is the only [[legendary beasts|legendary beast]] that does not return in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]].
====Trophy Information====
Raikou also appears in Melee as a trophy.

''These Thunder Pokémon travel near and far, blasting out electrified whirlwinds. They carry storm clouds on their backs, so they can produce lightning regardless of the local weather; it's even said that they descended to the earth with via lightning bolts. Their extreme quickness lends itself to flight, so they're very hard to capture.''

==Trivia==
[[File:RaikouEntry.png|thumb|right|Raikou in {{jo|Jimmy}}'s Pokédex]]
* Raikou is the only Pokémon in the anime whose image on the anime [[Pokédex]] was of stylized art rather than [[Ken Sugimori]]'s official artwork.
* Raikou is the only Pokémon with the [[Effort values|EV yield]] 1 Sp. Atk and 2 Speed.
* Raikou's number in the [[National Pokédex]] and the [[List of Pokémon by Johto Pokédex number|Johto Pokédex]] is the same: 243.

===Origin===
Raikou is particularly based on the Thunder and Lightning gods of most cultures surrounding the world, mostly the 雷獣 ''{{wp|raijū}}'', a thunder demon of Japanese lore. It is said to be a creature that could take the form of a {{wp|tiger}}, {{wp|monkey}}, blue {{wp|wolf}} wrapped in lightning, and many other animals. Raikou is specifically based on its tiger form, while the Pokémon {{p|Manectric}} is based on its wolf form. In terms of physical build, Raikou is based on the ''{{wp|Smilodon fatalis}}'', a well-known but extinct species of wildcat often referred to as a saber-toothed tiger. Its color and pattern scheme are reminiscent of that of a {{wp|Bengal Tiger}}. The stripes that decorate Raikou's body also can be compared to zigzagging thunderbolts and perhaps even scars from claws. The white ruff around Raikou's face is akin to the {{wp|Siberian Tiger}}'s thick fur around its neck. In the anime, Raikou is shown to be very agile, swift, stealthy, and a powerful attacker, just like a tiger. The gray "plate" atop its head may be similar to Entei's head ornament, being either a helmet or crown that signifies courage and power.
The flowing purple mane on its back is likely meant to invoke the image of a {{wp|cumulonimbus cloud}}, the cloud type most often associated with thunderstorms.

====Name origin====
Raikou could be taken to mean 雷光 ''raikou'' (lightning), which is also the inspiration for the name of {{wp|raijū}}, or it may be a combination of 雷 ''rai'' (thunder) and 皇 ''kō'' (emperor). It may also derive from 雷公 ''raikō'' (thunder duke), identical to the name of the Taoist deity {{wp|Lei Gong}}.

'''About Me'''

I'm a 16 year old human being living in the United States who loves Pokémon. My first Pokémon game was Pokémon Pearl Version, and Pokémon the Movie 3: Spell of the Unown was what first introduced me to Pokémon. I'm a fan of the Playstation 3 and of my PC, and I hate the Xbox. My favorite Pokémon are Charizard and Tyranitar, and I absolutely hate Jigglypuff and Iris in the anime. That's pretty much everything you need to know. Oh, wait, that's not enough for you? Well, then, I'll at least tell you that my favorite episode of the Pokémon anime is Charizard Chills, an episode from the Orange Islands saga.

'''My Video Games'''

I own quite a few video games, ranging from Halo to Batman: Arkham City to Pokémon. I currently own a PS3, Wii U, gaming PC, and a 3DS (of course). I'll pretty much play any video game I find interesting, and the only video game franchise I will never even consider for a second is the Call of Duty franchise. The Last of Us and Pokémon X Version currently tie at the Number 1 spot on my list of Top 10 Games of 2013.

'''Greninja''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ゲッコウガ''' ''Gekkōga'') is a {{2t|Water|Dark}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Frogadier}} starting at [[level]] 36. It is the final form of {{p|Froakie}}.

==Biology==
Greninja is a large, quadruped, frog-like Pokémon. Its body and legs are purple, with single large white spots on its legs, arms, and over its eyes. Its back feet have two toes, while its front feet have three toes. Its feet are webbed, and it has a yellow chest and a yellow-and-purple face. It has eyes with white sclera, red irises, and white pupils. A large, projecting purple stripe runs down the middle of its head, with projecting blue stripes in between its large, yellow ears. Its mouth is hidden behind a large, pink tongue that wraps around Greninja's neck and extends outward behind its head.

Greninja moves with the speed and grace of a ninja, using swift movements to confuse its enemies while it slices them up with throwing stars made of compressed water; these throwing stars are sharp enough to split metal. Greninja is the [[Signature moves|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning {{m|Water Shuriken}} and {{m|Mat Block}}.

Charizard101: /* Misty's hints */

{{ship}}
----
[[File:GymShipping Hint.png|230px|right|thumb|Brock pulling Misty's ear]]
'''GymShipping''' (Japanese: '''タケカス''' ''TakeKasu'') is the belief that {{an|Brock}} and {{an|Misty}} belong in a [[shipping|romantic relationship]]. The Ship's name comes from the fact that Brock is the [[Pewter City]] [[Gym Leader]], and Misty is the [[Cerulean City]] Gym Leader. It is considered similar to [[WishfulShipping]].

==Anime evidence==
===Misty's hints===
*''[[EP009|The School of Hard Knocks]]''
: When Ash and Brock fall in love with [[Giselle]], Misty gets mad. Some say that she was jealous because of Brock, but others say that was [[PokéShipping|because of Ash]].

*''[[EP013|Mystery at the Lighthouse]]''
: In this episode, Brock asks Misty to dance, and she accepts. They waltz against the music made a by {{p|Dragonite|a large and mysterious Pokémon}}.

*''[[EP020|The Ghost of Maiden's Peak]]''
: Brock becomes infatuated with a [[Ghost of Maiden's Peak|maiden]] he sees, and when an old lady explains that the Maiden is a ghost who harms men who cross her path, Misty misinterprets, exclaiming, "I must be the beautiful girl, but I'd never hurt Brock!"

*''[[EP061|The Misty Mermaid]]''
: In addition, when Ash suggests that the Mermaid on the poster looks like Misty (whilst Brock is still gawking) she bears a expression on her face which can best described as embarrassment.

*''[[Snow Way Out!]]''
: After the snow storm, Ash finds out that Brock and Misty found a hot spring, with Misty saying (while blushing), "You can't believe how comfy we were!"

*During the Orange League, Brock leaves the group and stays on [[Valencia Island]] with [[Professor Ivy]]. At the time, it was believed that he had left for good, and naturally with him gone not many people saw anything further suggesting a romantic relationship between them. However, it can be noted that Misty does mention Brock a couple of times. Once, in where Misty tells {{Tracey}} that the advice Ash is giving is exactly the same as the advice given to him by Brock. The other time is in the episode ''[[EP091|Bye Bye Psyduck]]'' when she says that {{p|Golduck}}, when revealing that it likes to impress girls, is a "Pokémon version of Brock". Incidentally, she appears to have been 'infatuated' with the Golduck when she first saw it.

*It is during their tenure in Johto that a new gag is introduced: Brock is now much more overt in his feelings, and so Misty pulls him back (usually his ear, but at times has used other parts of his body, for example his nose) whenever he tries to get the attention of a girl he likes. Some GymShippers have used the ear-pulling as a sign of jealousy, although others believe that it is simply annoyance.

*''[[EP198|The Heartbreak of Brock]]''
: Many Shippers have used this episode to argue that Misty has no feelings for Brock whatsoever and that her response to the question, "How do you know?" when she says that, "It's easier to like someone who likes you than someone who doesn't," is a direct reference to Ash. Other people believe otherwise. In any case, it is interesting to note the fascination that Misty takes in Brock's love life, going to almost excessive lengths for Brock to return Temacu's feelings, even if it is not particularly under his free will.
::'''Brock''': But, maybe a relationship should start with ''both'' people liking each other, maybe...
::'''Misty''': SHE'S YOUR ONLY HOPE!!! FORCE YOURSELF TO LIKE HER!!!!!

===Brock's hints===
*''[[EP013|Mystery at the Lighthouse]]''
:In this episode, Brock asks Misty to dance, and the latter generously accepts the offer.

*''[[EP061|The Misty Mermaid]]''
:Brock blushes at the image of a girl in a mermaid costume. As the title suggests, the role was filled by Misty. Brock did not seem disappointed when he found this out.

*With Misty returning to Cerulean Gym, there was not much to be said for GymShipping. However, during her short return in the [[AG044|Mirage]] [[AG045|Kingdom]] arc, it appears that her ear-pulling technique was particularly forceful. There are many who will argue against the ear-pulling due to the fact that [[Max]] took over for her, though it is interesting to note that Max's ear-pulling was the result of him being impressed by Misty's technique in these two episodes.

*Once the Hoenn League is finished, Ash returns to Pallet Town and rejoins his friends after they make a short return to their homes. The group temporary travels with Misty at Mt. Moon. It appears from this episode that Misty and Brock still share a close friendship, as he was the only one to actually express concern for Misty's well-being when the group gets split up. Ash, meanwhile, was worried about Pikachu, and May's primary concern was for Max.

===Movie evidence===
*''[[M04|Pokémon 4Ever]]''
:When Misty hurts her knee, Brock helps her out by carrying her on his back. Also, when she first hurt it, Brock seemed the most concerned about her, even putting his hand on her shoulder and kneeling down beside her.

==Manga evidence==
===[[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]]===
There are instances where Brock seems to find Misty attractive. This particularly happens during a scene in a hot spring in the second volume (though the scene was cut from the American release of the manga). Since, however, there are many discrepancies between the anime and manga which lead many to believe that one ending does not have to necessarily follow the other, the manga is usually not considered by Shippers who only follow the relationship in the anime.

===[[Pokémon Adventures]]===
Brock and Misty are both well-known [[Gym Leader]]s in the [[Kanto]] Region. Along with [[Erika]] and later [[Blaine]], Brock and Misty belong to the Justice Gym Leaders who protect and aid the people with their Pokémon against evil like [[Team Rocket]]. The two of them are shown visiting {{adv|Red}} in [[Pallet Town]]. There's not much hint between them, except for the time Misty gets attacked by {{p|Suicune}}. Brock shows concern when Misty goes missing. As Suicune tests Misty's ability as a trainer in battle, Brock wants to help Misty.

==Similarities==
* Both are/were Gym Leaders that had other aspirations.
* Both have left the main group.
* Both have been proposed to (Misty by [[Rudy]] in the Japanese version).
* Misty and [[Lola]] (Brock's mother) both have a passion for {{type|Water}} Pokémon, and Water Pokémon appears to be a focus of Brock's as well.
* Both have owned multiple [[baby Pokémon]]: Misty had {{TP|Misty|Togepi}} and has {{TP|Misty|Azurill}}, and Brock had {{TP|Brock|Bonsly}} and {{TP|Brock|Happiny|Chansey}}. Also, it was Brock who originally took care of Togepi's {{pkmn|Egg}}.
* Both appear to have a similar view on love and romance.
::'''Brock''': "Love is War, and if you want to win a war you'll have to use ammunition!!... I bet {{p|Azumarill}} will love a jar of my home-made [[Pokémon food|Pokémon treats]]! Give her this and I bet she'll call a truce...or even an unconditional surrender!"
::'''Misty''': "You've got to be assertive! Love is all about attacking your opponent first! Get in a quick punch and surprise them, and while they're still weak take the lead and you'll beat them hands down! Trust me I know, that's the best way to win!"
* Both have frog-like Pokémon, with {{TP|Misty|Politoed}} for Misty and {{TP|Brock|Croagunk}} for Brock.
* Both have owned a baby Pokémon which is of the Normal type and can [[Evolution|evolve]] twice: Happiny for Brock and Azurill and Togepi for Misty.
* Both are the only main characters that own a [[Pokégear]].

==Trivia==
*In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, when both are in the [[Fighting Dojo]], they are beside to each other, whereas no other Gym Leader is that close to another. This could be a reference to their casting in the anime.

Charizard101: /* Misty's hints */

{{ship}}
----
[[File:Pokeship.jpg|250px|thumb|Ash and Misty in [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]] {{pkmn|manga}}]]
'''PokéShipping''' (Japanese: '''サトカス''' ''SatoKasu'') is one of many names given to the couple of {{Ash}} and {{an|Misty}}, supported by many fans of the [[Pokémon anime]]. In the early years, PokéShipping is one of the most popular Ship in the fandom; it still maintains a strong following to this day, along with {{s|Advance}}, {{s|Contest}}, and {{s|Pearl}}.
{{spoilers}}

==Anime evidence==
In the beginning, Pikachu "fried" Misty's bike, and she then held Ash responsible. Misty began to follow Ash to make sure he would pay off his debt to her. They bickered constantly, but, needless to say, their friendship grew stronger as the series progressed. They relied on each other not only for friendship, but for support as well. Many fans have taken quotes and actions by characters as evidence for PokéShipping in the anime, however some of this evidence appears only in the dub version and can still be taken as friendship depending on the point of view of the viewers. In the original Japanese, the dialogue is read as a friendship between Ash and Misty with no romantic undertones. In a reverse fashion, many of the quotes in support of PokéShipping in the Japanese version were changed completely when translated into the English dub to come across more like friendship.

===Misty's hints===
Most other Shippers tend to agree that Misty has a crush on Ash. This evidence became most prevalent during the Orange Season, long before it became occasional to set upon Ash a girl who becomes infatuated with him.

* ''[[EP003|Ash Catches a Pokémon]]''
: Ash, willing to continue his journey alone, is followed by Misty. Upon noticing her pursuing him in [[Viridian Forest]], Ash puts her on the spot and asks her, "Why are you still following me?" Misty sweat-drops and unconvincingly stutters back, "M...My [[bicycle|bike]]! I'm holding you responsible for my bike!" in an insincere manner.

: Why she is following him is made apparent near the end of the episode where she says, "I've never known anyone like him. He really does love Pokémon." She does so in body language befitting that of an infatuated girl. Also, in her statement, it is pretty much implied that she has some sort of interest in knowing Ash, who, at this point, is someone she barely knows. Furthermore, in this and the next episode, Misty seems very eager to make physical (if not courtly) contact with Ash.

* ''[[EP004|Challenge of the Samurai]]
: When Samurai is searching for Ash, Misty runs toward him, shouting, "Ash!" sounding worried or scared.

*''[[EP007|The Water Flowers of Cerulean City]]''
: Misty tells {{an|Daisy}} that she's back home because of Ash. The remark makes Daisy think Ash and Misty are a couple, which causes Misty to blush an intense shade of red. Also the episodes before this, while trying to get Ash to avoid coming to this city would suggest other locations, often stating because they are "so romantic".

*''[[EP009|The School of Hard Knocks]]''
: While Ash and {{an|Brock}} fall into infatuation with [[Giselle]], Misty gets angry. Some say that she was jealous because of Ash, while others say that it was {{s|Gym|because of Brock}}.

*''[[EP012|Here Comes The Squirtle Squad]]''
: When Ash gets caught in an explosion to protect {{AP|Squirtle}}, she screams Ash's name, while Brock just stares.

*''[[EP020|The Ghost of Maiden's Peak]]''
: When the ghost skulls attack them, Misty grabs Ash's arm and holds on to him tightly. Ash never seems to have any problem with this, if anything looking like he wanted to be comforted, suggesting that they both look to each other when they are scared and are not embarrassed by this.
: At the end of the episode, Misty invites Ash to dance. When Ash accepts, she takes his hand and they are then seen dancing together as the episode ends.

*''[[EP023|The Tower of Terror]]''
: At the beginning of the episode, Ash, Brock and Misty are walking through the mist on their way to Lavender Town and Brock says they should probably hold hands. Ash and Misty eagerly reply, "Okay!" The two of them hold hands and continue walking, but Brock, who came up with the idea, mistook Pikachu's tail for Ash's hand; Only Ash and Misty are holding hands. Also, when Brock grabs Pikachu's tail because he can't see through the mist, Pikachu fires an electric attack out of fear and Misty grabs onto Ash.

:Later, when Misty thought that Ash had died, she is driven to almost tears, but is interrupted by Ash who comes back to life and she wipes her nose and blushes.

*''[[EP032|The Ninja Poké-Showdown]]''
: As Ash, Misty, and Brock follow a [[Venonat]] through the Fuchisa Gym, Ash runs into a invisible wall. When the group turns away, Ash runs into another invisible wall and and falls. When she sees this, Misty grabs Ash by the waist and helps him up. Her face expresses concern. After Ash has gotten up, Misty continues to hold on to his arm for a few moments. Brock is completely still while this is happening. Later, when Misty and Brock think Ash had died, Misty is almost driven to tears.


*''[[EP043|March of the Exeggutor Squad]]''
: When Misty sees Ash lying unconscious on the ground, she panics and runs to his side, begging Pikachu to "do something."

*''[[EP046|Attack of the Prehistoric Pokémon]]''
: When Misty, Brock, and Squirtle are digging through the rocks to save Ash, Misty, in the dub, says to herself "Listen Ash you'd better hold on, don't forget you still owe me a new bike!" In the original Japanese Misty says Ash had better not die on her, suggesting that she needs to reassure herself that Ash is okay.

* ''[[EP059|Volcanic Panic]]''
: One of the clearest examples to fans of Misty's growing feelings towards Ash in the Indigo League, would be the fact that she completely forgot about her bike being destroyed by Ash, supposedly being the only reason for her traveling with him.

* ''[[EP069|Lights,Camera,Quack-tion]]''
: When {{an|Jigglypuff}} {{m|sing}}s its song, Misty is seen sleeping on top of Ash's back.

* ''[[EP072|The Ancient Puzzle of Pokémopolis]]''
:When the over sized [[Gengar]] begins to head toward Pallet Town, Ash runs after it in hopes of trying to stop it from destroying his hometown. As soon as he runs off, Misty shouts "Ash, I'm coming with you!". Brock, on the other hand, hesitates before deciding to run after the two.

* ''[[EP083|Poké Ball Peril]]''
: Near the end of the episode, with Brock having left Ash and Misty to travel alone, [[James]] says, "I think we may have captured a pair of romantic creatures in our little cage," after which [[Jessie]] swoons and {{MTR}} blurts out, "They're lovebirds!" Ash and Misty deny it all but blush.

: The idea of Ash and Misty as a couple becomes a sub-theme throughout the subsequent Orange League Season, culminating into events in the second movie.

* ''[[EP093|Navel Maneuvers]]''
: [[Danny]], the [[Navel Island]] [[Gym Leader]], quickly picks up on the nature of Ash and Misty's relationship during one of their arguments and says, "I can see the two of you are pretty close." After Misty asks what he meant by that, he replied, "What's that saying? 'You always hurt the one you love...'"

* ''[[EP100|Wherefore Art Thou, Pokémon]]''
: After {{oi|Ralph}}'s {{p|Nidoran♂|Tony}} and {{oi|Emily}}'s {{p|Nidoran♀|Maria}} kiss and evolve, {{Tracey}} comments about whether the battle or the kiss made them evolve. The idea of kissing embarrasses Misty and provokes Ash to ask the question, "Do people change when they get kissed?" after which Misty answers to him, "Guess we'll have to find out ourselves..." Earlier in the episode, Tracey compared the interaction between the Nidoran's Trainers to the relationship between Misty and Ash (although both vehemently deny it).

*''[[EP101|Get Along, Little Pokémon]]''
: As the storm comes Misty collapses from exhaustion and Ash is shown in the next scene to be holding her by the waist as he helps her to the safety of the rock.
: Misty yells, "Be careful, Ash!" before he goes to save the {{p|Magnemite}}. Misty has done this on many occasions.

* ''[[EP102|The Mystery Menace]]''
: When Misty sees the monster behind Ash, she screams in fear it might hurt him. When Ash turns around, she yells at him to do something. Tracey is completely silent while all of this is happening.
: After Ash passes out from fear, Misty is shown kneeling by his side, watching him to make sure he's okay. Tracey is standing by the creature.

* ''[[EP103|Misty Meets Her Match]]''
: This entire episode alone serves as conclusive evidence that Misty not only likes Ash but possibly has developed a case of young love for him. [[Rudy]], the [[Trovita Island]] Gym Leader, has a case of "love at first sight" with Misty after she saves his sister, [[Mahri]]. After several advances from Rudy, Misty agrees to what is essentially an impromptu date with Rudy, leaving Ash and Tracey to themselves and later declines Rudy's invitation to stay and help him in the Gym. The most popular evidence in this episode is when Rudy asks Misty if she wants to stay forever with him at the Gym, she stops dancing and blushes whilst looking away and saying " I don't know". This leads many PokéShippers to believe that she is thinking of Ash.

: According to accounts of the original Japanese version, during the dance after the date, Rudy not only asked Misty to stay on the island, but to marry him. What is significant here is that Misty was actually considering his proposal, evidenced by the fact that she didn't refuse him outright. Throughout Ash's gym battle with Rudy, Misty is clearly torn between deciding which boy meant more to her, finally rooting for Ash in the end as {{AP|Squirtle}} is hit by a {{m|Thunderbolt}} from Rudy's {{p|Starmie}}. Rudy, in shock mutters, "She wants ''him.''"

*''[[EP107|Charizard Chills]]''
: When Charizard was thrashing around wildly, Misty tried to run to Ash's aid, and was only held back by Tracey.
: When Misty finds out that Ash's hands were rubbed raw, she gave up her blanket so Ash's hands wouldn't get any worse.

*''[[EP110|The Stun Spore Detour]]''
: Every time that Tracey and Ash need attention Misty comes to Ash first or expresses more concern for Ash.

*''[[EP124|Snubbull Snobbery]]''
: Misty finds a star map, and Ash says, "I know where the stars are, Misty." Misty giggles and blushes after that remark.

*''[[EP170|A Better Pill To Swallow]]''
: When [[Old Man Shuckle]] gives Ash his medicine and the medicine explodes in Ash's stomach, Misty asks Old Man Shuckle what he gave Ash. He reveals that it was Pokémon medicine, and Misty gets really angry. She calms down once Ash wakes up and says, "You know what? My stomach-ache is all gone!"

* ''[[EP185|The Light Fantastic]]''
: When Misty introduces Ash to [[Nurse Joy]], Joy quickly exclaims, "What a little cutie!" referring to {{AP|Pikachu}} on Ash's head. But Misty and Brock mistakenly think she's referring to Ash. Brock is left completely shocked, but Misty not only gets shocked, but quickly develops the same jealous expression she displayed when Melody flirted with Ash.

* ''[[EP198|The Heartbreak of Brock]]''
: After [[Temacu]] expresses her thoughts about marriage to Brock, Misty says to Ash, "You and I will be married someday too." And Ash nods his head without realizing what she had just said, and then shouts "WHOOA?" She could have easily meant that they would be married someday to different people, not necessarily to each other. However, this is a dub edit. In the original, Misty said, "Looks like she fell for {{tt|Takeshi|Brock}} in first sight."

: While giving a pep talk to Brock about pursuing a possible relationship with Temacu, Misty says, "Take it from me, it's a lot easier to like someone who likes you than to like someone who doesn't." Brock then asks her, "How do you know?", after which Misty gasps, blushes, then coyly replies, "Well that's...what I've heard..." She is not referring to Brock (much to the dismay of {{s|Gym|GymShippers}}), since she is openly encouraging Brock to pursue Temacu.

* ''[[EP217|The Perfect Match]]''
: When Ash and Misty find out that they have to battle each other, both are extremely shocked, not wanting to battle against each other.

* ''[[EP267|Love, Pokémon Style]]''
: When [[Macy]] first invites Ash out to lunch, Misty quickly cuts in between the two and comments that Ash is "booked". Later in the same scene, Macy questions Misty's right to interrupt in Ash's personal affairs when she's not his girlfriend. Misty looks quite unimpressed as Macy continues to flirt with Ash.

* ''[[EP273|Gotta Catch Ya Later!]]''
: The departure of Misty from the group is a very emotional affair. After all is said and done, Misty says to herself, "Well, Ash Ketchum, finally, I know how you feel about me."
:In this episode, Misty gives Ash her handkerchief. In Japanese, as well as many other eastern Asian cultures, giving a handkerchief is done to, "wipe away tears" when someone leaves your life (eg. a death, a breakup, or saying goodbye to a good friend). 
:Before the trio splits up and they go their respective ways, Misty asks Ash very sincerely, "Are you sure you'll be OK without me, Ash?"
:Misty got her own good-bye song (which completely left Brock out). One of the most significant lines in this song was "You're more than just my best friend." Ash was pretty clueless about how upset Misty was when they found out she had to leave, but when they actually parted, he did say that she’s his best friend, and cried when they left.

* ''[[SS011|A Date With Delcatty]]''
: In the original version, Misty initially rejects [[Georgio]] because there is "someone else." Taking into account of Misty's evident feelings in the series prior to this episode, it can be inferred that Misty is making a reference to Ash.

* ''[[AG133|The Right Place and the Right Mime]]''
: After Ash is saved from the {{p|Tauros}} by Bayleef, Misty and Tracey come to check on them. Ash comments that his Pokémon are stronger than ever, and Misty tells him that Pokémon start acting like their Trainers, and teases him about knowing a 'certain Trainer' that has been running wild, while winking towards Ash.
: When Max informs everybody that the nearest [[Battle Frontier]] facility is near Cerulean City, both Misty and Ash are delighted that they can travel together for a while, and she gives him a wink.

* ''[[Pokémon Live!]]''
: In this show, Misty yearns to tell her feelings for Ash, but is too afraid to tell him.

====Various songs====
* ''[[Misty's Song]]'' is a song from the ''[[Pokémon 2.B.A. Master]]'' soundtrack in which Misty sings that she loves Ash. She also says that she wants to confess her love to Ash. This is one of the strongest pieces of evidence for PokéShipping. Part of the song was played in the episode ''[[EP132|For Crying Out Loud]]'', although the canonization of the song is disputed.
* On the ''[[Pokémon Christmas Bash]]'' CD there are two songs that show strong evidence of her feelings towards Ash.
**The first song on the CD entitled ''{{OBP|Pokémon Christmas Bash|song}}'' has the three main characters along with Team Rocket singing about what they want for Christmas. In Misty's stanza she sings "Hey Santa if you're really listenin' / My wishlist has only one thing / Just gimme one dance with Ash / At the Pokémon Christmas bash!".
**Another song on the CD called ''[[Under the Mistletoe]]'' has Misty singing about how she wants Ash to know her feeling for him and about how she wants to meet Ash under the mistletoe. On the other hand, Ash is singing about how he hopes to not to be caught under the mistletoe, although at first he doesn't move away- many fans claim this is Shipping from Ash's side. Near the song's end, after leaving Ash feeling paranoid about the mistletoe, Misty has got Ash under the mistletoe. Ash realizes this, freaks out, and runs off to eat more cookies while leaving Misty wondering what his problem is.
* ''[[He Drives Me Crazy]]'' is a song from ''[[Totally Pokémon]]'' and ''[[Pokémon 3: The Ultimate Soundtrack]]'' that is sung from Misty's perspective, although it was not sung by [[Rachael Lillis]]. This song highlights the feelings that Misty has but does not understand. Many PokéShippers regard this song as having undeniable proof of Misty's feelings for Ash.
* ''[[It Takes Two]]'' is a song used to advertise {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}. It states evidence from both sides on how they work together as a team.

===Ash's hints===
Even PokéShippers will admit that Ash has not shown any proof of liking Misty beyond the already established platonic feelings. Naturally, PokéShippers believe Ash is capable of ''liking'' Misty. Furthermore, the theory also extends to the possible belief that Ash does love Misty, but is not mature enough to realize it. This idea is supported by the fact that Ash acts jealous when another guy shows interest in Misty or vice-versa, and the flirtatious tone of some of their teasing. This theory explains their bickering (to cover up how they really feel about each other), and it can be argued that Ash displays real feelings for Misty when she is vulnerable or scared.

* ''[[EP012|Here Comes The Squirtle Squad]]''
: When Ash sees that Pikachu, Misty, and Brock aren't in the cave, he yells Pikachu's name; then has a vision of Misty falling, and calls out her name too. Brock is never mentioned.

* ''[[EP017|Island of the Giant Pokémon]]''
: When Ash regains consciousness, he sees Misty still unconscious and rushes over to her, shakes her and yells at her to get up. Then he notices Brock and tells him to get up, but he remains by Misty's side.

* ''[[EP018|Beauty and the Beach]]''
: When Misty shows up, holding a beach ball along with her bathing suit on, Ash stares at her with what some describe as a love-struck expression, and comments on how Misty looks like a girl for once. After Ash said that, she blushed an intense red. Later, when [[Moe]] yells at the group, Ash quickly hides behind Misty and holds her by the shoulders, showing he looks to her when he is scared or needs support.

[[File:Ash Misty Hold Hands.png|250px|thumb|Ash and Misty holding hands in ''[[EP020|Ghost of Maiden's Peak]]'']]
* ''[[EP020|Ghost of Maiden's Peak]]''
: Ash does a double take when Misty appears with her hair down and dressed in a formal kimono. Upon seeing her, the camera switches to his perspective, the bubbly background usually associated with passionate moments is used, romantic harp strings are played, and Misty's surprised facial expression clearly shows she is being looked at with interest. Also, the entire theme of the episode was romance-oriented, so it's only logical to assume this scene between Ash and Misty is as well. Interestingly enough, Misty was asking Ash to dance. When Ash accepts, Misty takes his hand and they are seen dancing together as the episode ends.

* ''[[EP023|The Tower of Terror]]''
: When Ash sees Misty and Brock standing outside waiting for him, he decides to tease Misty, ignoring Brock. Once awake from being unconscious, Ash immediately greets Misty, not even mentioning Brock or Pikachu.

*''[[EP028|Pokémon Fashion Flash]]''
: When Misty goes missing, Ash expresses extreme concern.

* ''[[EP052|Princess vs. Princess]]''
: Ash, thinking Misty is entering the Princess Festival Contest to take a picture with the movie star host, gets jealous, groaning with his arms crossed, "You must really want that picture with [[Fiorello Cappucino|Fiorello]]...". Surprisingly, Misty reassures him she's only doing it for the doll set. Also, when Misty was dressed in a kimono during the contest, Ash stared at her and said, "Ohhh...", but so did Brock.

* ''[[EP090|In The Pink]]''
: When Ash wakes up after being thrown onto Pinkan Island, he immediately asks for Misty and Pikachu, leaving Tracey out completely.

* ''[[EP093|Navel Maneuvers]]''
: Climbing Navel Island's central mountain, Misty tells Danny the gym leader to be extra careful. Seeing how much concern Misty is giving to Danny, Ash with the same jealous expression yells, "What's she so worried about him for?!". He's distracted so much by Misty's little crush on Danny that he loses his concentration and falls down the mountain a bit. Much like his behavior in "Princess vs. Princess", another male getting Misty's attention seems to bother him. When Danny states, "What do they say, you always hurt the one you love?" Misty and Ash become extremely embarrassed. As Danny walks off, Misty runs up to him and says, "Oh, you've got it all wrong. I'd never get involved with a little kid like him. I prefer the more mature, intellectual type." Ash seems very disappointed after hearing that.

*''[[EP101|Get Along, Little Pokémon]]''
: As the rain storm approaches and as Misty is unable to walk, Ash grabs Misty by the hand, arm and the rest of her body and leads her towards the cave. He then gently lowers her down, but keeps his arms wrapped around her. Afterwords, he stares at her with care in his eyes.

*''[[EP102|The Mystery Menace]]''
: When the creature pulls Misty into the sewer, Ash screams Misty's name, not even mentioning Togepi. After all the bubbles from where Misty was pulled in disappear, Ash screams again. After Tracey announces they should save her and Togepi, Ash's face gets angry, and says he will.

*''[[EP103|Misty Meets Her Match]]''
: [[Rudy]] moves in to court Misty after she helps rescue his younger sister, [[Mahri]]. Ash is clearly put out by Rudy's behavior, and jealous when Misty is flattered by the attention. When Rudy compliments Misty about her beautiful eyes during his attack test, Ash gets distracted and accidentally calls Charizard. Rudy invites Misty to dinner, and Ash is shocked when she accepts and appears unhappy when she leaves. Later on, during the battle against Ash, Rudy looks at Misty and says "I dedicate this match the girl who saved my sister and stole my heart." Ash doesn't seem very happy and sarcastically replies, "That's real nice, but the victory is gonna be mine!" He gets a little antagonized with Misty when she tells him to beat Rudy, telling her he's not stupid, as if her recent behavior had upset and unsettled him.

: After Rudy presents Ash with his badge, he gives Misty some flowers, accepting her decision to stay with Ash. More importantly, he says, "I hope you know you're a very lucky guy, Ash." Ash cluelessly replies, "Lucky? What do you mean?" Rudy laughs and says, "You'll see some day." Ash just frowns in confusion. This incident supports the theory that Ash loves Misty, but he doesn't quite realize it yet. This is one of the stronger hints given that Misty and Ash may someday end up together.

*''[[EP110|The Stun Spore Detour]]''
: When Ash was really feverish, he asks in a weak voice for Misty and not for Pikachu or Tracey (or even [[Delia Ketchum|his mom]]).

*''[[EP121|Illusion Confusion]]''
: Ash expresses his horror when Misty is scared by illusions of Bug Pokémon, and gets angry with {{p|Hoothoot}} for running away, because it is the only one who can 'save Misty.'

*''[[EP132|For Crying Out Loud]]''
:When Misty, Pikachu, and [[Wilhelmina]]'s {{p|Marill}} are lost on an island and the others go to find them, Ash mutters, "Don't worry, we'll find Misty," not even mentioning Marill or his beloved Pikachu.

*''[[EP137|Foul Weather Friends]]''
: When Misty is trying to save {{p|Oddish}} from flying into the tornado, Ash screams her name and pulls her down by the waist, similar to how Brock did for {{jo|Mariah}} when she tried to save the {{p|Hoppip}}, whom he was currently crushing on.

* ''[[EP216|Dueling Heroes]]''[[File:Misty special lure DP034.png|thumb|right|Ash displaying [[Misty's special lure]]]]
: Prior to Misty's battle, Ash wakes up to find Misty staring out the window. They have a little talk and after that, Ash continues to gaze at Misty silently.
: Brock comments about how Misty's battling style reminds him so much of Ash. Furthermore, Ash and Misty share similar victory poses when they win their round.

* ''[[AG044|The Princess and the Togepi]]''
: Upon showing Ash the invitation to the Togepi Festival, Ash gets excited and walks off happily. But Misty quickly pulls him back by the hood. Later on, when Misty gets abducted by Team Rocket, Ash is the first one to run after her.

*''[[AG133|The Right Place and the Right Mime]]''
: When Max informs everyone that the nearest [[Battle Frontier]] facility is near Cerulean City, Ash is pleased that Misty is able to travel with him and the group for a while.

*''[[AG134|A Real Cleffa-hanger]]''
: May tries to befriend a Cleffa, but the Pokémon backs away from her in fright. Misty figures that it will talk to {{p|Azurill}}, and then Azurill jumps off her arms and starts playing with the Cleffa. Ash tells Misty how great her idea was.

: When the Ash and the gang looks for Misty, Max, and Pikachu, Ash is the one carrying Misty's Spheal bag.

*''[[AG187|The Unbeatable Lightness of Seeing]]''
:Ash is feeling down about losing but regains his confidence back when he receives gifts from his mother and his friends. He especially shows off Misty's special lure to Pikachu with a big smile on his face. It shows that Misty still cares about him, far away as he is, romantically or not.

* ''[[DP034|Buizel Your Way Out of This!]]''
: When Ash and the others are fishing, Ash uses the special lure Misty made for him. Dawn asks if she could use it, but Ash refuses, causing them both to argue. While they are distracted, a {{AP|Buizel}} comes and takes their lures, causing Ash to panic. He is determined to get the lure back, and once it is returned, he seems very happy and relieved.

==Movie evidence==
*''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]''
: When Mewtwo throws Ash back with its psychic powers, Misty quickly runs up to him and asks if he's okay (Brock only stays put). At the ending, there's a scene of Ash, Misty, and Brock sleeping in their sleeping bags. Ash and Misty are placed conveniently near each other, while Brock's position is relatively away from them. When Ash is petrified by the fighting between Mew and Mewtwo, Misty murmurs "Please no" while Pikachu attempts to revive him.

[[Image:PokeShipping 3.png|thumb|325px|right|Misty is annoyed as Melody flirts with Ash]]
* ''[[M02|The Power of One]]''
: In the Japanese trailer of the film, there was a scene that was animated specifically for that trailer. When Ash jumps down the cliff to save his Pikachu, Misty tries to follow him but Tracey holds her back. Misty looks completely distressed, as can be seen by her tears.
: P2K, otherwise known as 'The Power of One', or 'Revelation Lugia' is the conclusion to everything related to Misty's love for Ash in the Orange Season. In this movie, Misty gets competition in the form of Melody, the Festival Maiden of the Legend Ceremony. {{mov|Melody}}, upon greeting our heroes, immediately comes up to Ash and plants a kiss on his cheek, provoking a glare of jealousy from Misty. Also, after Melody's performance at the festival party, she quickly kneels in front of Ash and grabs hold of his arm, provoking Misty to gasp and growl again in subdued jealousy.
:Also, upon being called Ash's girlfriend, Misty blushes uncontrollably. When Misty is talking about how stubborn Ash is, Melody starts to tease her, saying how Misty will have to get used to it once her and Ash get married. Upon hearing this, Misty protests, but blushes as well.
:Near the end, Misty openly admits to Melody that Ash is "her burden" and goes off to rescue him in Melody's place, stating that he'll never be alone as he'll always have her, which Melody respects (due to the debating between her and Misty of Misty liking Ash throughout the movie).

* ''[[M04|Celebi: Voice of the Forest|Pokémon 4Ever]]''
: When our heroes are running from a Pokémon, Misty trips along the way. Ash (and Brock) run back to help her. They get to safety, at least for a little while, and all of a sudden some Pokémon appear to attack them. Ash runs in front of her and spreads his arms out to protect Misty.
:When Ash and Sammy are saved by Celebi and come down, Misty shouts, "Ash is okay!", not even mentioning Sam, Celebi, or Pikachu.

* ''[[M05|Pokémon Heroes]]''
: When {{mov|Bianca}}/{{p|Latias}} kissed Ash on the dock, Misty was so shocked that not only did she develop the same jealous expression seen in the series, but she also dropped her {{TP|Misty|Togepi}}.

* ''[[M06|Jirachi: Wish Maker]]''
:In the dubbed version of the movie, Ash makes a reference on Misty (not by name): on the last day of the comet's showing, Max is disappointed that he will have to part with Jirachi; Ash sits down with him by the river and reassures him that Jirachi will always will be in his heart, telling him "A good friend left me, and I miss her everyday. But I know we'll be friends forever.", obviously referring to Misty. However, this elements are only in the dubbed versions. In the original, Ash talks about a completely different thing, trying to explain to Max that a thousand years last like a single istant for Jirachi and its comet, and it would't be the same staying with him (he doesn't even mention missing a friend or similar things).

==Manga evidence==

===In the Electric Tale of Pikachu manga===
In the {{pkmn|manga}} series [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]], based on the anime, Ash has a huge crush on {{Gary}}'s older sister, [[Daisy Oak|May]]. However, there are some cases where Ash shows attraction towards Misty.

* ''[[ET02|Play Misty For Me]]''
: Ash finds Misty eye-catching, especially when he first sees her in her Gym uniform, which happens to be a very attractive swimsuit.

* ''[[ET06|To Evolve or Not to Evolve, That Is the Question!]]''
: Another event is during a scene in a hot spring in the second volume (though the scene was cut from the American release of the manga).

* ''[[ET16|You Bet Your Wife]]''
: Just like in the anime, [[Rudy]] also proposed to Misty, and Ash shows great deal of bitterness toward it.

==Other hints==
[[File:PokeShipping 4.jpg|thumb|right|200px|A scan featuring Ash and Misty with Pokémon]]
For those already convinced about PokéShipping, there do exist events which suggest inconclusively, something along the lines of romance. But the difference between hints and proofs are that proofs are essentially ironclad and undebatable in contemporary debate, whereas hints are quite debatable, and are open to interpretation. The following is a listing of some that are considered to be debatable hints, all of which vary in strength and worth.

* ''[[EP005|Showdown at Pewter City]]''
: Misty is surprisingly eager to start a Pokémon-sharing relationship with Ash in this episode and gets very upset when Ash refuses. Later, while Ash is charging up Pikachu's electric sacs, Misty again offers help to Ash and gets snubbed. She then grumbles and says, "What do I care..." and runs off. Misty somewhat admits by her behavior and dialogue that she's really interested in getting to know him better.

* ''[[EP006|Clefairy and the Moon Stone]]''
: Misty, at the beginning of this episode, continually keeps mentioning how "romantic" the surroundings are. She continues to do this not only in this episode, but subsequent episodes as well.

* ''[[EP007|The Waterflowers of Cerulean City]]''
: At the outskirts of [[Cerulean City]], Misty attempts to dissuade Ash from going into the city by tempting him to go to [[Vermilion City]]. She does so by mentioning the "neat Pokémon, the yachts pulling into the harbor, and a spot way up on a hill where you can sit and watch a romantic sunset". The mentioning of a romantic scene subtly suggests what she might have intended for all along, especially with how many times she's talked about romantic things in previous episodes.

* ''[[EP014|Electric Shock Showdown!]]''
: After Nurse Joy breaks up an argument between the two of them, she comments that they say when two people fight, they really care about each other; although Ash and Misty instantly reject the idea, they are both blushing slightly when they turn away from the other.

[[Image:PokeShipping 5.png‎|thumb|250px|right|Ash's ghost lifting Misty up in the air in ''[[EP023|The Tower of Terror]]'']]
* ''[[EP023|The Tower of Terror]]''
: When Ash enters the tower alone to try and catch a Ghost Pokémon, and is subsequently briefly separated from his body, Misty is the first one of her and Brock to express concern about how long Ash and Pikachu are taking inside. When Ash hovers beside her in his ghost form and lifts her in the air, Misty is the only one who can hear him despite Brock standing only a foot or so away from her, potentially hinting at a closer bond between the two. Also, before Ash and Pikachu return to their bodies, Misty is visibly near to tears as she pleads for Ash to wake up, and blushes immensely when he wakes up and greets her.

* ''[[EP026|Pokémon Scent-sation!]]''
: Misty, unaware that Ash is disguised as a girl among the crowd and using the same girlish demeanor she used in "Ash Catches A Pokémon," dreamily admits to the group, "I wish Ash would've heard that story..." She openly is expressing a desire for Ash's presence.

: Also, during Ash's gym battle with [[Erika]], the girls in the crowd start acknowledging Ash's skill and how much more impressive he is than he looks, provoking Misty to smile with reassurance.

* ''[[EP035|The Legend of Dratini]]''
: At the beginning of the episode, Ash is marching and singing. Misty is right behind him and longingly stares at him until they reach the [[Kanto Safari Zone|Safari Zone]] warden's house. After Ash sings out his last lines, Misty imitates his enthusiasm and sings her own lines as well. Of course, "Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery."

: Also, later in the episode, when Ash is about to dive in the water to grab the bomb that Team Rocket threw in there, Misty stops him, and says that it is too dangerous. Although this hint is under debate simply because it could be merely her worrying for Ash, (as a friend would do), she also sends down her Staryu to save Ash after he is down there for too long. And afterward, when he comes back up, Misty smiles and is thrilled that he is alive, with a blush apparent.

* ''[[EP043|March of the Exeggutor Squad]]''
: Misty goes into perhaps the most extreme fits of blushing in the history of the series, all provoked by a simple compliment from Ash about her skimpy stage outfit. No one blushes like that out of mere embarrassment. She clearly holds Ash's opinion of her in exclusive priority.

* ''[[EP045|The Song of Jigglypuff]]''
: As Jigglypuff begins singing in the woods, Ash and Brock are standing next to each other while Pikachu and Misty are sitting a couple feet away. After Jigglypuff is done singing, Brock and Pikachu are sprawled out asleep by themselves while Misty and Ash are slumped against each other. It might not have meant anything if the two were already standing by each other, in which case it would have just been convenient, but they weren't. Either they moved into this position because they are very comfortable with each other, or the director(s) might have just thrown this in to plant an idea. It is also interesting to note that when they wake up, Misty comments, "What a nice nap."

* ''[[EP061|The Misty Mermaid]]''
: Before the performance, Ash says, "This is gonna be great! I can't wait to see Misty!" While watching the show, Ash says to Brock, "Misty's doing really good!"

: At the end of this episode, Ash tells Misty how amazing she was at her performance of the underwater play. Misty disproportionately calls Ash's comments "sweet talk" and reminds him of the bike he owes her, something she supposedly forgot about back on [[Cinnabar Island]].

* ''[[EP068|Make Room for Gloom]]''
: Upon arriving at the Xanadu Nursery, Brock spies on a pretty girl behind the window, after which Ash comes to look and says he doesn't see a pretty girl. Misty then says, "Just turn around" and giggles, clearly addressing Ash. Ash then jokes about her hallucinating, then starts chuckling.

: Ash, finally spotting a {{p|Gloom}} behind the window, asks Brock if "he's getting 'misty' over a gloom," This causes Misty to pull Ash's mouth wide with her fingers and ask him what is he saying about her, mistaking Ash's 'misty' comment with herself. Both seem to be blushing in the midst of their playfulness.

* ''[[EP077|Fourth Round Rumble]]''
: While watching Ash's match on the grass field in the spectator stands with Brock, Misty becomes particularly vocal whenever Brock shows signs of attraction for Ash's current opponent [[Jeanette Fisher]], yelling at Brock to remember whose side he is meant to be on. She also feels sorry for Ash when his mother and Professor Oak show up to tell him that all of Pallet Town is now rooting for him, recognizing the increased pressure this will put Ash under.

* ''[[EP155|Forest Grumps]]''
:At the beginning of the episode, Ash and Misty are surprisingly close to one another while tending to their Pokémon. Brock on the other hand is away from them asleep behind a tree.
:Upon reunion, Ash and Misty exclaim each other's names in joy, with Brock totally ignored by Misty, while the camera focuses on their faces. What's interesting to note is how the scripting and animation seem to focus just on their reunion alone.

* ''[[EP167|A Hot Water Battle]]''
: After losing a beach ball, {{AP|Chikorita}}, {{AP|Cyndaquil}}, and {{AP|Totodile}} begin arguing over whose fault it was. Not realizing that they're fighting, Ash sends them off to find the beach ball. When they run off eagerly to prove themselves, Ash comments, "See Misty, they get along just like we do." Misty, who knows that the Pokémon were fighting, then says, "I hope not," possibly suggesting that her relationship with Ash is of special importance to her.

* ''[[AG133|The Right Place and the Right Mime]]''
: When Ash finally arrives home after his travels in Hoenn, he finds Misty at his house. She makes a point of being there, specifically so that she could see Ash as soon as he arrived back from Hoenn even though she apparently has no idea how soon exactly he would be returning. For all she knew, she could have been expecting a wait for a long time.
: Azurill is a good excuse to go down there but it does not explain her behavior:
:*Why did she stay at Ash's mother's house, and not at Oak's laboratory?
:*Why was she so concerned about getting to see Ash as soon as he arrived?
:*How can her somewhat wistfully delivered line of how Ash is the same as always be explained?
:*Why couldn't she have simply delayed her trip down there until Ash had already arrived?

* ''[[The Mastermind of Mirage Pokémon]]''
: Ash considers Misty as a rival at times and, when given the chance, he likes showing off to impress her. In this special episode, Ash receives an invitation from [[Dr. Yung]]. Upon reaching the mansion of Dr. Yung, he is surprised to see Misty and Professor Oak there. As Misty proceeds on asking him why he is there, Ash waves the invitation in front of him in an attempt to show off, saying that he got invited because of his great skills as a trainer. Misty stays composed and shows her own invitation, telling him that she also got invited, which surprises Ash.
[[File:Misty Winking At Ash.png|thumb|250px|Misty winks at Ash while speaking to him]]

: When Dr. Yung asks Ash and Misty to battle, Ash quickly expresses his excitement only to be foiled by Misty. The Gym Leader reminds Ash of his manners and says "Ladies first!" while winking an eye at him.

: In order to save Professor Oak, Ash decides to sneak into the castle through underwater. He could have chosen May or Max to come with him, but he chose Misty.

[[File:Spurt Card Ash loves Misty.png‎|thumb|250px|Misty and Delia, featured on the Queen of Hearts Card in the tenth Japanese OP, ''[[Spurt!]]'']]
* ''[[Aim to Be a Pokémon Master]]
: In the first ever opening theme song of the Pokémon anime, there is a scene where the Ash and {{ashfr|his friends}} are in a forest by a campfire. It's an interesting note to see Ash and Misty sitting very close to each other, while Brock is quite far from them, sitting on the other side.

* ''[[Spurt!]]''
: In the fifth and final opening theme song for the Japanese Advanced Generation Pokémon anime series, Misty was shown in a "Queen of Hearts" card together with [[Delia Ketchum]]. One could say the two girls on the card likely represent the more important females in Ash's life.

* ''[[Under the Mistletoe]]''
: This song includes hints from both. Ash sings about that he is happy tonight and Misty sings about she knows she will meet her true love under the mistletoe. Later during this song, Misty comments that she and Ash stand under the mistletoe. Also, both sing they want to tell something to [[Santa Claus|St. Nicholas]]. Finally, when they are both under the mistletoe, Ash runs off. However, being created by 4Kids and so by the dub, this song doesn't belong to any original part of the anime.

*Misty constantly yelled at and insulted Ash throughout the show, and is an example of the hiding of feelings for children of that age, however depending on how much older they have gotten since they had met, this may or may not be a very big clue.

*When Jigglypuff sings its song, Misty and Ash are often seen leaning against each other in their sleep.

* When Misty was part of the group, Ash was well aware of signs of romance between humans and Pokémon, even knowing if a girl was flirting with him (such as when he nervously ran away from Macy in ''[[EP267|Love, Pokémon Style]]''). After she left the group, Ash has shown signs of being oblivious to anything romantic taking place around him, as well as not knowing when a girl was interested in him.

==Alternate names==
PokéShipping, as with many of the more popular Ships, is known by a variety of different names. Following the emergence of PokéShipping from amongst these as the de-facto standard, the other names have become associated with certain groups within the PokéShipping fandom, or certain methods of Shipping. A prominent few are detailed below.

* '''GakiShipping''' - An early term coined around the same time as TwerpShipping, the name was originally meant to be descriptive of both Ash & Misty being ''gakis'' (Gaki being a somewhat rude way to refer to a child in Japanese), but has since evolved to describe the actual shipper, and is now used only in an insulting manner towards shippers (not necessarily just PokéShippers) who use flimsy evidence to support their position, or otherwise act childish, especially when referring to their supported 'ships.

* '''SakaShipping''' - Another early name for the pairing, from '''Sa'''toshi and '''Ka'''sumi.

* '''BikeShipping''' - this name refers to Ash and Pikachu breaking Misty's bike, and is among the least used of all names for this pairing.

* '''SushiShipping''' - from Ka'''su'''mi and Sato'''shi'''. Combining portions of the characters' names to form words was common early on, but now is hardly ever used.

* '''TwerpShipping''' - The original (English) name for the ship, the term is currently used primarily only amongst users on TRHQ, and by those who primarily associate themselves with {{s|Rocket}}.

* '''AAML''' - Standing for Ash And Misty Love. Also '''AAMRN''', Ash And Misty Romance Novel.

==Trivia==
* They have battled against each other twice for the ownership of a Pokémon: {{p|Togepi}} and {{p|Totodile}}.
* The two have shared similar victory poses in the series. Imitation is known to be the ultimate form of flattery.
* [[Ash's Pikachu]] took a liking to Misty very early in the show. {{an|Professor Oak}} and other characters have stated that Pokémon reflect the feelings of their Trainers.
* Both Ash and Misty have parented baby Pokemon, Misty with {{TP|Misty|Togetic}} and {{TP|Misty|Azurill}} and Ash with {{AP|Larvitar}}, {{AP|Phanpy}}, and {{AP|Scraggy}}.

----
[[File:Misty and Georgio.png|175px|thumb|Georgio and Misty]]
'''SomeoneElseShipping''' is the belief that {{an|Misty}} and [[Georgio]] belong in a [[Shipping|romantic relationship]]. It is well-known that Georgio has been secretly admiring Misty from a distance. The name of this Shipping comes from Misty's announcement to Georgio that there's [[PokéShipping|someone else she likes]]. Hence, this Ship is considered canonically one-sided.

==Story==
[[File:SomeoneElseShipping.png|175px|left|thumb|Misty blushing from what Georgio said]]
In the episode ''[[SS011|A Date with Delcatty!]]'', Georgio sends a letter saying that he wishes to meet Misty. He approaches Misty at the appointed place with a blushing face and quickly asks her to go on a date with him. Misty is utterly shocked by this. Even though {{an|Casey}} comments that Georgio seems nice, Misty refuses to go out with him. Georgio then proceeds on telling Misty that she's the most beautiful girl he had ever seen, and Misty blushes at the compliment. {{TP|Misty|Psyduck}} comes out of its ball and teases Misty, making the young {{type|Water}} {{pkmn|Trainer}} furious. After returning Psyduck to its ball, Misty announces that she's leaving. Georgio continues to persuade Misty by showing her tickets to a baseball game where they get to dine and watch at the same time. He specially bought those tickets, which has the best seats, just for her.

After some comments from Casey about the seats, Georgio challenges Misty to a battle. If Misty loses, she would have to go on a date with him. Misty accepts the challenge, regardless of the conditions, since it's her duty as [[Gym Leader]]. Before the battle could start, [[Butch]] and [[Cassidy]] steals Georgio's {{p|Delcatty}}. Misty, with a big help from Casey and her {{p|Meganium}}, helps Georgio retrieve his Pokémon from Team Rocket. Their battle continues after Butch and Cassidy blasted off. Misty, using her {{TP|Misty|Corsola}}, wins the battle, but she promises Georgio to battle with him someday.

'''Ash's Pidgeot''' (Japanese: '''サトシのピジョット''' ''Satoshi's Pigeot'') was the third {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} obtained by [[Ash Ketchum]] during his travels through the [[Kanto]] region.

==History==
[[File:Ash Pidgeotto.png|200px|thumb|left|As a Pidgeotto]]
===Kanto===
Ash caught Pidgeot as a {{p|Pidgeotto}} in [[Viridian Forest]], in ''[[EP003|Ash Catches a Pokémon]]''. Having [[EP001|previously]] failed to capture its pre-evolution, {{p|Pidgey}}, and a {{p|Spearow}}, Ash was prepared to fight the Pidgeotto before attempting a capture. However, his {{AP|Caterpie}} was easily defeated by the {{type|Flying}} Pokémon, but {{AP|Pikachu}} used {{m|ThunderShock}} to weaken Pidgeotto and Ash captured it. Its first battle was against [[Team Rocket trio|Team Rocket]], but both it and Pikachu were defeated by {{TP|Jessie|Ekans}} and {{TP|James|Koffing}}.

It reappeared in ''[[EP004|Challenge of the Samurai]]'', where it managed to weaken a wild {{p|Weedle}} for Ash to capture, but the small bug escaped when [[Samurai]] arrived and challenged Ash to a battle. Weakened by battle with Weedle, Pidgeotto battled Samurai's {{p|Pinsir}} and was defeated by a {{m|Tackle}}. It also battled {{TP|Brock|Geodude}} when Ash had a rematch with {{an|Brock}}, but its {{m|Gust}} proved ineffective on the [[Rock (type)|Rock]]/{{type|Ground}} Pokémon, and it was knocked out and recalled.

It had a much more successful battle in the [[Cerulean]] Gym, where it fought {{TP|Misty|Starmie}}. Although the battle was interrupted by Team Rocket, Pidgeotto easily had the upper hand over Starmie, using Gust to propel Starmie with great force into the Gym's wall. However, it was defeated easily along with {{AP|Butterfree}} by [[A.J.]]'s powerful {{p|Sandshrew}}, despite the type advantage.

Pidgeotto was gradually weeded out as an everyday battler when Ash captured {{AP|Bulbasaur}}, {{AP|Squirtle}} and {{AP|Charmander}}, used most often to blow away {{m|SmokeScreen}}s, pop holes in [[Team Rocket trio|Team Rocket]]'s balloon, or scout around to find the way to their next destination. In ''[[EP019|Tentacool & Tentacruel]]'', Pidgeotto bore Pikachu into battle with a giant {{p|Tentacruel}}, and was the only one of itself, {{AP|Butterfree}} and {{TP|Brock|Zubat}} to avoid Tentacruel's attacks, allowing Pikachu to attempt to negotiate a truce with the colony.

In ''[[EP032|The Ninja Poké-Showdown]]'', Pidgeotto fought against [[Koga]]'s {{p|Venonat}}, which promptly evolved into {{p|Venomoth}}, and its Stun Spore crippled Pidgeotto, forcing Ash to pull Pidgeotto for Charmander. It was also used by Ash in a surprise attack whilst breaking into Team Rocket's hideout in ''[[EP050|Who Gets To Keep Togepi?]]''
[[File:Ash Pidgeotto Quick Attack.png|thumb|220px|Pidgeotto slamming Rhydon with Quick Attack]]
Pidgeotto played a very important part in Ash's Gym battle in ''[[EP063|Battle for the Badge!]]''. Ash's Squirtle and Bulbasaur were being brutalised by Giovanni's {{p|Kingler}} and {{p|Machamp}}, commanded by Jessie, but Pidgeotto turned the tables by using a {{m|Quick Attack}}/{{m|Double-Edge}} combination to inflict serious damage on the {{p|Rhydon}}.

It provided wind effects in [[Cleavon Schpielbunk]]'s film in ''[[EP069|Lights, Camera, Quack-tion!]]'', and was also sent out to battle the [[giant]] {{p|Gengar}} in ''[[EP072|The Ancient Puzzle of Pokémopolis]]''. However, its {{m|Gust}} had no effect on Gengar, and it was absorbed by the monster. It reappeared after the giant {{p|Jigglypuff}} put the huge creature to sleep.

Pidgeotto towed Team Rocket's balloon all the way to the stadium in order to allow Ash to reach his battle with [[Ritchie]] in time. However, it was too exhausted to battle, leaving Ash with only his disobedient {{AP|Charizard}} to fight with once Squirtle and Pikachu were defeated.
[[File:Ash Pidgeot released.png|thumb|left|220px|Pidgeot leaving]]
In ''[[EP081|Pallet Party Panic]]'', Ash returned to [[Pallet Town]] following the [[Indigo League]]. Here, he encountered an old enemy; the {{p|Spearow}} Ash had tried to catch [[EP001|the first day of his journey]] had evolved into {{p|Fearow}} and was leading other wild Spearow in harassing the local {{p|Pidgey}} flock.

Pidgeotto tried to lead the wild Pidgey to safety, but was badly injured. Desperate to help its fellow birds, Pidgeotto [[Evolution|evolved]] into Pidgeot and attacked Fearow with {{m|Gust}} and {{m|Quick Attack}}. It then lead the other {{p|Pidgey}} and {{p|Pidgeotto}} to defeat Fearow. Ash released Pidgeot to guard the wild Pidgey so that Fearow would not return for a sneak attack.

He promised to return for it after he was finished in the [[Orange Archipelago|Orange Islands]], a sentiment that he still hoped he could do in ''[[EP131|Fighting Flyer with Fire]]''. However, Ash has yet to fulfill that promise, with its role as his Flying-type being filled by such new Pokémon as {{AP|Noctowl}}, {{AP|Swellow}}, {{AP|Staraptor}} and {{AP|Unfezant}}.
{{-}}

===Unova===
Pidgeot appeared in a flashback as a Pidgeotto in ''[[BW116|The Fires of a Red-Hot Reunion!]]''.

==Personality and characteristics==
[[File:Ash and Pidgeot.png|left|thumb|Ash and Pidgeot]]
[[File:Ash and Pidgeotto.png|thumb|Ash holding his hurt Pidgeotto]]
Ash's Pidgeot did not undergo as much character development as his other five team members, as it had far less episodes focused on it. However, it was loyal and had an extremely strong relationship with Ash, the only one of his original six Pokémon he had never been on bad terms with before or after capture. It always followed his orders to the letter, even when this resulted in personal risk of self injury - taking on Fearow, Jessie's Arbok and the Ancient Giant Gengar are just three examples. Brock once stated that Pidgeotto would take any attack for Ash, and Misty lamented that {{AP|Charizard}} was not as loyal as Pidgeotto.

===Moves improvised===
'''Gust Counterattack''' is a variation of Gust, used to force the foe to evade. This technique was used only once by Ash's Pidgeotto in ''[[EP003|Ash Catches a Pokémon]]''. Pidgeotto slams its wings together, creating a small air flow around his wings forcing [[Jessie's Ekans]] to jump away.

==In the manga==
[[File:Ash Pidgeotto EToP.png|thumb|right|200px|Pidgeotto in The Electric Tale of Pikachu]]
===In The Electric Tale of Pikachu manga===
[[Ash Ketchum (EToP)|Ash]] also owns a Pidgeotto in [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]] {{pkmn|manga}}. It is the fourth Pokémon that Ash captures in the manga. It first debuts in ''[[ET02|Play Misty For Me]]''. In that chapter, it was given the nickname {{wp|Walter Pidgeon|Walter Pidgeotto}} (Japanese: '''ビジョン''' ''Vision'').

Pidgeotto's capture is not shown, it is first seen when Ash is writing home to [[Daisy Oak|May Oak]] describing the Pokémon he has captured on his journey so far. Later, he tries to use it in his Gym battle against {{an|Misty}}, but it has disappeared from its [[Poké Ball]], leaving a note saying "I'm beat! Off to get some R&R. Don't forget to write! -Pidgeotto".

It is unknown if Pidgeotto has permanently left Ash's party following this. It does not appear in the manga since then, including when Ash brings his entire party out of their Poké Balls in ''[[ET08|You Gotta Have Friends]]''. The role of Ash's main Flying Pokémon is instead filled by [[Ash's Fearow]].

==Trivia==
* Pidgeot debuted long before the episode in which it evolved. Since the first episode of the series, Ash is shown throwing a Poké Ball containing Pidgeot and battling a Fearow in the opening ''[[Aim to Be a Pokémon Master]]''.
* Pidgeot has since appeared in the tenth opening for the anime, ''[[Spurt!]]''. However, it did not return in any episodes aired with the opening.
** Pidgeot also appeared in the ''{{OBP|Battle Frontier|dub}}'' opening along with {{p|Tyranitar}} ({{AP|Larvitar}}'s mother). It was the only one of Ash's old Pokémon to have its ''Spurt!'' scene carried across to the dub opening.
* Pidgeot is the first evolved Pokémon caught by Ash.
* Pidgeot is Ash's only regional {{t|Normal}}/{{type|Flying}} Pokémon he released.
* In {{game|Yellow}}, {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s|HeartGold, and SoulSilver}}, it is possible to catch under-leveled Pidgeotto in Viridian Forest, as a reference to Ash's Pidgeotto.

==Synopsis==
{{incomplete synopsis}}
{{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} arrive at [[Hotachi Island]]. They learn that the Scalchop King Playoff tournament is being held there. There are many {{p|Oshawott}} and {{p|Dewott}} Trainers. The winner of the tournament will receive a golden [[Scalchop]] and get teamed up with the female division winner. Ash enters the tournament with his {{AP|Oshawott}}. Oshawott does his best, but soon faces up against a Dewott named Caesar. {{TRT}} also enters the tournament with {{MTR}} disguised as a Dewott, but their cover is soon blown, and they attempt to steal the golden Scalchop, only to get "blasted off" again. With Team Rocket out of the way, Oshawott fights Caesar and wins. Ash is shocked to find out that he has to leave his Oshawott with the female Oshawott crowned as a Scalchop Queen, so he can be the Scalchop King.

'''Leaf''' (Japanese: '''リーフ''' ''Leaf'') is the female [[player character]] in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}. In her debut, Leaf is presumably 11 years old, the same age as her male counterpart, {{ga|Red}}. She lives in [[Pallet Town]], next door to her upcoming rival in [[Pokémon training]], {{ga|Blue}}.

==Story==
{{spoilers}}
===In Red, Green and Blue===
Though Leaf didn't appear in a game until [[Generation III]], artworks of an [[Prototype Pokémon and characters#Female main character|unknown female character]] drawn by [[Ken Sugimori]] were released in the games' official strategy guide. This character shared many physical similarities with Leaf, and was also featured with {{p|Squirtle|a starter Pokémon}}, implying she was intended to be a main character.

===In FireRed and LeafGreen===
====As the player character====
Leaf is a curious girl from Pallet Town. It is assumed that it holds true that she, much like her male counterpart Red, became interested in Pokémon after her best friend, Blue, stopped playing with her and became a bully. Her adventure begins one day when [[Professor Oak]] calls her to his lab and gives her a [[Starter Pokémon|choice of Pokémon]]. Blue challenges Leaf to a [[Pokémon battle]] as soon as they get their Pokémon. A bit later, Professor Oak calls the two back, gives each of them a [[Pokédex]], and sends them on a journey to fulfill their dream of capturing every kind of Pokémon.

Leaf travels all over Kanto, filling in the [[Pokédex]] and defeating the [[Gym Leader]]s. Her [[rival]] Blue constantly stays one step ahead, and shows up quite a few times to impede her progress. When Leaf eventually reaches the [[Elite Four]], she finds that Blue has beaten her to a milestone yet again and has become the [[Indigo League]] {{pkmn|Champion}}. Leaf defeats Blue in the final battle, and becomes the Champion herself. Her adventure continues even after that, having Leaf find herself into new places, including the [[Sevii Islands]].

Leaf's main conflict in the games, aside from Blue, is [[Team Rocket]], an infamous group of Pokémon thieves. Leaf clashes with Team Rocket many times in her quest. She defeats a group of grunts at [[Mt. Moon]] who are attempting to steal rare Pokémon [[Fossil]]s, and defeats another group ahead at a bridge in [[Cerulean City]]. Leaf protects the [[Pokémon Tower]] and [[Mr. Fuji]] in [[Lavender Town]] and destroys their hold on the [[Celadon Game Corner|Game Corner]]. After she foils their plot to take over [[Silph Co.]], Leaf encounters [[Giovanni]], the leader of Team Rocket, as the final Gym Leader in [[Viridian City]]. Upon defeating him, Leaf stops the group's world domination plots once and for all, though a few remaining grunts, many who appeared and were defeated by Leaf on [[Chrono Island]] in [[Generation III]], would band together in [[Johto]] to [[Generation II|try to revive the group]].

====As a non-player character====
When not selected as the player character, Leaf does not appear in the game. Leaf's actions in this case are currently unknown.

===In other games===
Leaf makes a cameo appearance in both [[Pokémon Colosseum]] and [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]]. While she does not appear in the games' Story Mode, she is playable in the Battle Mode when a FireRed or LeafGreen cartridge is used with her as the player character. She can take on the [[Mt. Battle]]'s 100-battle challenge, as well as compete in Colosseum battles.

==Names==
===Name origin===
Although "Leaf" is by far the name she is most commonly known by in the community, she has no official given name. Her name is based on dummy Trainer data of FireRed and LeafGreen, with the male main character being named "Red". Oddly enough {{ga|Blue}} also has dummy Trainer data under the name "Terry" so this raises a question about the validity of the names.

She is also sometimes referred to as '''Fuguri''' (フグリ) in the Japanese fandom. The name is derived from {{tt|リー'''フグリ'''ーン|LeafGreen}} (rī'''fugurī'''n).

==Counterparts==
[[File:Green Adventures.png|thumb|right|Green, Leaf's counterpart in Pokémon Adventures]]
Though no counterpart to Leaf has appeared in the [[Pokémon anime]], {{mov|Melody}} shares some physical similarities with her.

{{adv|Green}} from the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga, who appears to be based on an [[Pokémon Red and Green beta#Female player character|unused female player character]] from {{game|Red and Green|s}}, is widely considered to be Leaf's counterpart in the manga. This is supported by the fact that Green's outfit changes to match Leaf's in the {{chap|FireRed & LeafGreen}}.

Leaf also has a counterpart in the [[Pokémon Ruby-Sapphire]] manga series named {{OBP|Blue|Ruby-Sapphire}}.

==Trivia==
* Although her official debut was in FireRed and LeafGreen, a character model of Leaf is present in Pokémon Colosseum, which came out a full two months before the aforementioned remakes.
* In [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]], {{p|Jigglypuff}} can wear Leaf's hat as an alternate costume.
* Also in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]], the {{SSB|Pokémon Trainer}} has an alternate costume palette that makes his hat have the same color's as Leaf's.
* Leaf's hat somewhat resembles a Premier Ball.
* Leaf's FireRed and LeafGreen sprite shows her with blue eyes, although every other sprite and the official artwork shows her with brown eyes.
* The majority of her Japanese default names are shared with {{ga|Dawn}} and {{ga|Lyra}}. She also shares all of {{ga|Kris}}'s alternate Japanese names.
* Leaf is the only female player character whose default name is not a common given name.
* Though she is neither playable nor an opponent in the handheld [[Generation IV]] games, Leaf made a brief cameo battling against {{ga|Red}} in an early trailer for [[Pokémon Battle Revolution]] on the Wii.
* Had Leaf been a player character in the Generation I, she would have been the only player character to not wear any head gear of any kind.
* Leaf is the only non-rival female player character to have a [[Blue (Ruby-Sapphire)|counterpart]] who appeared in Pokémon Pocket Monsters.

'''Red''' (Japanese: '''レッド''' ''Red'') is the [[canon]] name of the {{player|player character}} in the [[Generation I]] games {{game4|Red|Green|Blue|Yellow}} and the male choice in their [[Generation III]] remakes {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, where his female counterpart is {{ga|Leaf}}.

Red is known throughout [[Kanto]] and [[Johto]] as the {{pkmn|Champion}} from [[Pallet Town]], as well as for his defeat of [[Team Rocket]] in Kanto during his quest. He is the final opponent in the [[Generation II]] games {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}, their [[Generation IV]] remakes {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, and {{g|Stadium 2}}. He's also a participant in the [[Pokémon World Tournament]]'s [[Champions Tournament]] in {{game|Black and White|s|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2|2}}.

==In the games==
{{spoilers}}
Red is introduced as a curious 11-year-old boy from [[Pallet Town]]. In the instruction manuals of Pokémon Red, Green, and Blue Versions, Red gained an interest in Pokémon after his best friend, {{ga|Blue}}, stopped playing with him and became a bully. His adventure begins one day when [[Professor Oak]] calls the two to his lab for a choice of a [[starter Pokémon]], the last three Pokémon Oak owns. Blue challenges Red to a battle immediately, to test out his new Pokémon, thinking he will easily beat Red.

After Red has made his way to [[Viridian City]] to the north and taken {{key|III|Oak's Parcel|a package}} back to Oak in Pallet Town, Oak gives Red and Blue each a [[Pokédex]] with which to record data on all known Pokémon in the Kanto region. From here, Red and Blue journey across Kanto, collecting Pokémon to build up their teams, and defeating each of the [[Gym Leader]]s in turn, with Blue always one step ahead, showing up from time to time to impede Red's progress.
Red also comes across a gang of Pokémon thieves, [[Team Rocket]], several times through his journey, defeating a group of {{tc|Team Rocket Grunt}}s who are trying to steal [[Fossil]]s from [[Mt. Moon]], a member who is running the [[Nugget Bridge]] challenge to recruit for the organization on {{rt|24|Kanto}}, and another lone member who has stolen a [[TM]] from a family in [[Cerulean City]]. Eventually, Red uncovers a plot by Team Rocket, infiltrating their [[Rocket Hideout|hideout]] beneath the [[Celadon Game Corner]] and encountering their boss, [[Giovanni]]. Defeating him and ousting Team Rocket from Celadon, Red uses the [[Silph Scope]] that Giovanni leaves behind to battle {{type|Ghost}} Pokémon and save [[Mr. Fuji]] in the [[Pokémon Tower]] in [[Lavender Town]], who is being held hostage by a trio of Grunts. Red soon journeys into Saffron City in the heart of Kanto to find it overrun by Team Rocket, who is attempting to take the recently-invented [[Master Ball]] from the [[Silph Co.]] President, and defeats Giovanni again, ending the group's plots for the time being.

With seven Badges in hand, Red encounters Giovanni for the final time—this time as the [[Gym Leader|Leader]] of the [[Viridian Gym]], his final obstacle before the [[Elite Four]] of [[Indigo Plateau]]. Red defeats him in battle, earning his eighth and final Badge—the {{Badge|Earth}}—and causing Giovanni to realize that he has no chance at reviving Team Rocket if he cannot defeat Red. He disbands the organization, promising to go into solo training to better himself.

Making it through {{ka|Victory Road}} and finally to Indigo Plateau, Red defeats the Elite Four and discovers, to his surprise, that Blue has defeated them before him and is the {{pkmn|Champion}}. Red defeats Blue in the final battle, becoming the Champion himself, but then continues his training, rather than staying at Indigo Plateau. Encountering an offshoot of Team Rocket in the southern [[Sevii Islands]], lead by Executive [[Archer]], Red reveals with his Earth Badge that Giovanni has disbanded the organization, and, though defeated, the group there intends to revive Team Rocket and bring Giovanni back, having already made plans to force Pokémon to evolve with radio waves. Red continues as a wandering Trainer, eventually making his way to the caves of [[Mt. Silver]], where he trains his Pokémon alone.

Eventually, {{ga|Ethan}}, {{ga|Kris}}, or {{ga|Lyra}} arrives at Mt. Silver and challenges Red, identified only as a [[Pokémon Trainer]]. If defeated, Red vanishes from Mt. Silver, and returns every time the Elite Four is defeated again by the player of Gold, Silver, Crystal, HeartGold, or SoulSilver.

In Black 2 and White 2, Red enters the [[Champions Tournament]] of the [[Pokémon World Tournament]].

===Pokémon===
As the player character, Red can have on his team any of the 151 Pokémon available during [[Generation I]]. In [[Generation III]], he can have any of the 386 Pokémon available at that time, though only after the player has obtained the [[National Pokédex]].

When he is encountered as an opponent in [[Generation II]] and [[Generation IV]], Red has a set team, based on Generation I in-game event Pokémon, and has the highest leveled trained Pokémon yet encountered in the series, with his {{p|Pikachu}} at level 81 in Generation II and at level 88 in Generation IV.

In {{game|Black and White|s|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2|2}}, he can be fought in the [[Pokémon World Tournament]]'s [[Champions Tournament]].

==In the [[Super Smash Bros.]] series==
[[File:Pokemon Trainer Brawl.png|thumb|250px|right|Red in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]] with his Pokémon.]]
===Super Smash Bros. Melee===
Red's hat appears in [[Super Smash Bros. Melee]] as an alternate outfit worn by {{p|Pikachu}}, possibly in reference to the anime or [[Pokémon Adventures]].

===Super Smash Bros. Brawl===
{{main|Pokémon Trainer (Super Smash Bros.)}}
Red himself appears as a playable character in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]], named only as "Pokémon Trainer", with a team consisting of {{p|Squirtle}}, {{p|Ivysaur}}, and {{p|Charizard}}. Rather than fighting himself, like the other human characters, Red sends his three Pokémon into battle, switching between them in order. He is voiced by [[Michele Knotz]] in the English version and 半場友恵 ''[[Tomoe Hanba]]'' in the Japanese version.

==In other games==
Red makes an appearance in both [[Pokémon Colosseum]] and [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]]. While he does not appear in the games' Story Mode, he is playable in the Battle Mode when a FireRed or LeafGreen cartridge is used, with a male player character chosen. He can take on the Mt. Battle's 100-battle challenge, as well as compete in Colosseum battles. Red also made a brief appearance in the debut trailer of [[Pokémon Battle Revolution]], having a [[Double Battle|Double Battle]] against {{ga|Leaf}}, using a {{p|Deoxys}} in its Attack Forme and a {{p|Wailord}}. Despite this, he didn't appear in the final cut of the game.

==In the TFG==
{{TFG ID|Next Quest|Red|42}} appears as a common Trainer figure in the launch set, {{TFG|Next Quest}}, of the [[Pokémon Trading Figure Game]]. A recolour of the original figure named {{TFG ID|Groundbreakers|Green|39}}, aptly coloured with green clothes, appears as a Trainer figure in the {{TFG|Groundbreakers}} expansion.

==In the anime==
{{main|Ash Ketchum}}
[[File:Ash catches a Pokemon.png|thumb|250px|right|Ash Ketchum, Red's anime counterpart]]
While Red himself does not appear in the anime, his counterpart, introduced in the [[EP001|first episode]], is the anime's main character, Ash Ketchum. Like Red, Ash is from Pallet Town, on a journey to become a Pokémon Master. Unlike Red, Ash's journey did not end with Kanto, and Ash has continued through every other region introduced in the [[main series]] games, as well as the [[Orange Archipelago]] south of Kanto, taking the place of the player characters of Generation II during Johto, and being joined by the anime counterparts of {{ga|May}} and {{ga|Dawn}} during the Hoenn and Sinnoh sagas. Instead of starting with one of the standard three Kanto starters, however, Ash began his journey with a {{AP|Pikachu}}, inspiring {{game|Yellow}}'s creation, as well as causing some to consider Red and Ash to be the same person, most especially due to Red owning {{ga|Red's Pikachu|one}} as well.

==In the manga==
===In the Pocket Monsters HGSS Jou's Big Adventure manga===
[[File:Red JBA.png|thumb|Red in Pocket Monsters HGSS Jou's Big Adventure]]
Red makes an appearance in Pocket Monsters HGSS Jou's Big Adventure. He was first mentioned by {{ga|Blue}} while [[Jou]] battled the Gym Leader. Jou then officially enocuntered Red while on [[Mt. Silver]].

==In other manga==
Red, like most player characters, also has counterparts in the various Pokémon manga, with {{adv|Red}} from the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga, {{Zensho|Satoshi}} from [[Pokémon Zensho]] manga, {{OBP|Red|Pocket Monsters}} from [[Pokémon Pocket Monsters]] manga, and [[Shū]] from [[Pokémon Get da ze!]] manga being among them.

==Trivia==
* Red's title screen and profile front sprites from {{game|Red and Green|s}} correspond to his earlier [[Capsule Monsters]] artwork instead of his final [[Generation I]] artwork, suggesting that the sprites were created very early in the games' development or that [[Game Freak]] forgot to update their aesthetics to match the changes. His title screen sprite was updated in {{game|Blue| (Japanese)}} but the profile front sprite remained unchanged.
** In {{game|Yellow}}, due to the completely distinct title screen, Red no longer has a title screen sprite. Although part of the changes made in Pokémon Yellow are directly inspired by the {{pkmn|anime}}, the updates to Red's front sprite seem to be a mix of both matching his then official artwork more accurately and matching [[Ash Ketchum]], his anime counterpart, as the frontal section of his {{wp|cap}} has the same division in the middle as {{Ash}}'s cap from the {{series|original}}. This updated front sprite was then recycled for the [[Generation II]] games. Another possibility is that Pokémon Yellow actually uses the sprite from {{game|Gold and Silver|s}} as these games were in development at least a year prior to the release of Pokémon Yellow in Japan. A similar situation occurs with {{ga|Blue}}.
* Red's [[party]] in the Generation II games and {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} is based heavily on in-game events from the Generation I games and {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}:
** {{p|Charizard}}, {{p|Venusaur}}, {{p|Blastoise}}, and {{p|Pikachu}} are the [[version]] mascots of the four Generation I games: Pokémon Red, Green, Blue, and Yellow. They are also available in all iterations of the original [[Kanto]] plot;
** {{p|Espeon}} could have been obtained as an {{p|Eevee}} in [[Celadon City]], and Eevee notably serves as {{ga|Blue}}'s {{pkmn2|starter}} in Pokémon Yellow;
** {{p|Lapras}} is given away by a [[Silph Co.]] employee shortly before [[Team Rocket]] is defeated there;
** Two {{p|Snorlax}} are required to be caught or defeated in order to travel to [[Fuchsia City]]. Furthermore, in the Generation II games and Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, only the Snorlax that was previously blocking {{rt|12|Kanto}} (now blocking the entrance to [[Diglett's Cave]]) is available to the {{player}}, suggesting that Red defeated it and caught the one blocking {{rt|16|Kanto}}.
*** All of these {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} are also obtainable within Pokémon Yellow: {{ga|Red's Pikachu|Pikachu}} is obtained as the starter Pokémon; Venusaur can be evolved from the {{p|Bulbasaur}} obtained in [[Cerulean City]]; Blastoise can evolved from the {{p|Squirtle}} obtained in [[Vermillion City]]; Charizard can be evolved from the {{p|Charmander}} obtained on {{rt|24|Kanto}}; Snorlax, Eevee, and Lapras can be obtained by the aforementioned in-game events.
*** In Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, the four version mascots all know their [[Generation III]] [[signature move]]s: Venusaur, Charizard, and Blastoise know {{m|Frenzy Plant}}, {{m|Blast Burn}} and {{m|Hydro Cannon}}, respectively, while Pikachu knows {{m|Volt Tackle}}. Furthermore, his Pikachu's moveset coincides with the four moves that [[Ash's Pikachu]] used most recently in the anime: Volt Tackle, {{m|Quick Attack}}, {{m|Iron Tail}}, and {{m|Thunderbolt}}.
** His party in the Generation II games also matches that of {{adv|Red}} in the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga during his venture to [[Mt. Silver]], although Pokémon Adventures Red only borrowed {{TP|Blue|Charizard}} and [[Blasty|Blastoise]] temporarily from {{adv|Blue}} and {{adv|Green}}, respectively, as he didn't ''own'' those Pokémon.
** In Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, apart from his Venusaur and Blastoise being fully evolved, Red's team is identical to that of [[Ash Ketchum]] throughout most of the [[Pokémon: Adventures in the Orange Islands|Orange Islands]] anime arc ([[Ash's Bulbasaur]] and {{AP|Squirtle}} were at the time, and still are presently, in their base forms).
* Until the release of {{game|Platinum}}, Red's party in [[Generation II]] featured the highest-leveled opponent Pokémon a player could face outside of battle arenas such as the {{eng|Pokémon Stadium|Pokémon Stadium series}} and the [[Battle Frontier]], with his Pikachu at [[level]] 81, beating the {{pkmn2|wild}} {{p|Arceus}} found at the [[Hall of Origin]] by one level. In Pokémon Platinum, {{ga|Barry}}'s party received a boost in level, putting his {{pkmn2|starter|starter Pokémon}} at level 85, while wild {{p|Magikarp}} can be found in the [[Resort Area]] at levels as high as 100, the maximum possible. Due to {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} giving Red's party a level boost as well, with his Pikachu topping at level 88, Red recovered his status as the highest-leveled {{pkmn|Trainer}} opponent.
* When Red is encountered at the summit of Mt. Silver during Generation II and Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, he has no speech, merely repeating sets of ellipses before beginning the {{pkmn|battle}}. This is a reference to his silent role in [[Generation I]], as he only answered choice questions like <sc>Yes</sc> or <sc>No</sc>. This unique characteristic remains in later [[generation]]s, especially in the [[remake]]s.
** In {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, {{ga|Blue}} sarcastically calls him a "chatty gossip".
** Despite the ellipses before the battle, when talking to {{OBP|Copycat|character}} in Generation I and Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen, the dialogue is the following:

<blockquote>{Player}: Hello, do you like <sc>Pok</sc>é<sc>mon</sc>? {Player}: Uh no, I just asked you. {Player}: Huh? You're strange! <sc>Copycat</sc>: Hmm? Quit mimicking? But, that's my favorite hobby!</blockquote>

::Similarly, after giving Copycat a {{DL|Escape item|Poké Doll}} and receiving [[TM31]] in return, another brief chatter ensues if the player talks to her again:

<blockquote>{Player}: Hi, thanks for TM31! {Player}: Pardon? {Player}: Is it that fun to mimic my every move? <sc>Copycat</sc>: You bet! It's a scream!</blockquote>

::This implies that Red is speaking, although it could be that Copycat has nothing to mimic, so she is making up words.
* Hidden data in the [[Generation I]] games reveals placeholder names for Red and {{ga|Blue}}:
** The unused default name for Red in the English [[Generation I]] games is <sc>[[Nintendo|Ninten]]</sc> while {{ga|Blue}}'s is <sc>{{wp|Sony}}</sc>. While it is impossible to view these names during regular gameplay, changing a few {{wp|memory address}}es in {{wp|Random-access memory|RAM}} can allow for these names to appear as shown [http://acmlm.kafuka.org/board/thread.php?pid=18912#18912 here]. This references the fact that in the years surrounding the releases of the Generation I games, Sony was Nintendo's main competition. Ninten is also the default name of the main protagonist of {{wp|Mother (video game)|Mother}}, a game developed by [[Creatures, Inc.]] and which has worked on the [[Pokémon games]] since the start.
** In the Japanese [[Generation I]] games, the unused default names for Red and Blue differ between {{game|Red and Green|s}} and {{game|Blue| (Japanese)}} and then between the latter and {{game|Yellow}}<ref>[http://iimarck.us/i/default-names/ Default names]</ref>:
*** In Pokémon Red and Green, Red's unused default name is やまぐち ''Yamaguchi'' while Blue's is いしはら ''Ishihara''. Yamaguchi refers to Wataru Yamaguchi, an art director that worked on the original games, while Ishihara refers to [[Tsunekaz Ishihara]], the current president and {{wp|Chief executive officer|CEO}} of [[The Pokémon Company]] and who was the games' producer at the time.
*** In Pokémon Blue, the unused default names for Red and Blue are, respectively, ゲーフリ ''Gēfuri'', an abbreviation of [[Game Freak]]'s name in Japanese (ゲームフリーク ''Gēmu Furīku''), and クリチャ ''Kuricha'', a reference to [[Creatures, Inc.]]
*** In {{game|Yellow}}, Blue's unused default name remained unaltered while Red's was subtly altered by gaining an extra digit (ゲーフリ１).
* Much like there is minimal information on his {{Ash|anime counterpart}}'s father, Red's father is mentioned only briefly when examining a {{wp|Super Nintendo Entertainment System|SNES}} at the [[Celadon Department Store]] in the [[Generation I]] games and {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}.
* In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, Red is the only {{pkmn|Trainer}} who uses the {{pkmn|battle}} transition effect from [[Generation II]].
* All of his anime and manga counterparts also own a {{p|Pikachu}}, excluding {{Zensho|Satoshi}} from Pokémon Zensho who evolved his into a {{p|Raichu}}.
* Along with {{ga|Blue}}, [[Lance]], and the [[Generation I]] and {{Gen|III}} [[Kanto]] [[Gym Leader]]s (excluding [[Koga]] and [[Giovanni]]), Red has appeared in every [[generation]] of [[Pokémon games]] so far. He is also the only protagonist with this feat.
* Red is the only {{pkmn|Champion}} to not appear at the lobby if defeated in the [[Champions Tournament]] of the [[Pokémon World Tournament]] in {{game|Black and White|s|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2|2}}.

Original series

2013-06-01T18:48:18Z

Charizard101: /* Intro */

[[File:Original series.png|thumb|A poster for the [[series]], featuring {{Ash}}, {{an|Misty}}, {{an|Brock}} and some of their {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}]]
The '''original series''' of the [[Pokémon anime]] (Japanese: '''ポケットモンスター''' ''Pocket Monsters'') is the first of its [[series]]. Unlike later series, the name of the original series comes only from the need to differentiate it from the latter three. It ran from April 1, 1997 to November 14, 2002 in Japan and from September 7, 1998 to October 25, 2003 in the United States.

During the original series, rookie {{pkmn|Trainer}} [[Ash Ketchum]] begins his {{pkmn|journey}} in the [[Kanto]] [[region]], leaving his [[hometown|home]] of [[Pallet Town]] with the only [[starter Pokémon]] that {{an|Professor Oak}} had left to give: a reluctant and moody {{AP|Pikachu}}. Ash's quest begins in earnest to defeat all of the [[Gym Leader]]s and get to the [[Pokémon League]] as soon as he has gained Pikachu's trust, and he is joined by two mentors, {{an|Misty}} and {{an|Brock}}.

After competing in the [[Indigo Plateau Conference]] and not preforming as well as he had hoped, Ash journeys to the [[Orange Archipelago]] to receive the [[GS Ball]] from [[Professor Ivy]], as it cannot be transported to Professor Oak by [[PC]]. During his time there, Ash competes in another Pokémon League, the [[Orange League]] and meets a new {{ashfr|friend}} named [[Tracey Sketchit]]. When Oak cannot figure out how to open the GS Ball on Ash's return to Pallet, the Professor sends Ash to [[Johto]] to give the special [[Poké Ball]] to [[Kurt]]. While there, Ash again competes in a Pokémon League, the [[Silver Conference]].

==Chapters==
The original [[series]] is officially divided into three chapters:
* ''Pocket Monsters'' (ポケットモンスター) ([[EP001]]–[[EP081]])
* ''Pocket Monsters: Orange Archipelago Chapter'' (ポケットモンスターオレンジ{{tt|諸島編|しょとうへん}}) ([[EP082]]–[[EP116]])
* ''Pocket Monsters: Gold & Silver Chapter'' (ポケットモンスター {{tt|金銀編|きんぎんへん}}) ([[EP117]]–[[EP274]])

File:Original series GS logo.png|''Pocket Monsters: Gold & Silver Chapter'' logo
</gallery>

==Dub seasons==
When the {{pkmn|anime}} was [[dub]]bed into English and other languages, the [[series]] was divided into five [[season]]s:
* [[Pokémon: Indigo League]] ([[EP001]]–[[EP081]])
* [[Pokémon: Adventures in the Orange Islands]] ([[EP082]]–[[EP116]])
* [[Pokémon: The Johto Journeys]] ([[EP117]]–[[EP157]])
* [[Pokémon: Johto League Champions]] ([[EP158]]–[[EP209]])
* [[Pokémon: Master Quest]] ([[EP210]]–[[EP274]])

Episodes in the original series are numbered with {{bp|Epicode|the prefix}} '''EP''' on [[Bulbapedia]]. For a complete episode listing, see the [[list of original series episodes]].

==Trivia==
* Originally, this [[series]] of the {{pkmn|anime}} was only to have lasted a year and a half, approximately as long as the [[Kanto]] saga lasted.
* At 274 episodes, this is the anime's longest series. This is because it adapted the {{pkmn|games}} from two [[generation]]s, {{Gen|I}} and {{Gen|II}}. The following series are adaptations of games of only one generation each.
** Minus the 81-episode [[Kanto]] saga, which covered the storyline of [[Generation I]], the [[series]] contains 193 episodes, only two more than the {{series|Diamond & Pearl}} and only one more than the {{series|Advanced Generation}}.

'''Moltres''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ファイヤー''' ''Fire'') is a dual-type {{2t|Fire|Flying}} [[legendary Pokémon]].

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

Along with {{p|Articuno}} and {{p|Zapdos}}, it is one of the three [[legendary birds]] of [[Kanto]].

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Moltres takes the form of a large bird with flame-colored plumage, resembling a {{wp|phoenix}}. Its {{DL|List of Pokémon by body style|Pokémon with a single pair of wings|dazzling wings}} and elaborate head crest appear to be covered with flames. It has a straight, pointed brown beak that is the same color as its feet. Compared to the other legendary birds, it has the smallest feet and legs. It is the largest of the legendary birds, but its feathers make up a good portion of its bulk.

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

===Special abilities===
When Moltres flaps its wings, it creates a brilliant flash of flames. It is also one of the few Pokémon known to naturally wield the very powerful {{type|Flying}} move {{m|Sky Attack}}.

===Behavior===
Moltres is one of the [[legendary birds]] of Kanto, and is a poorly understood species, believed by many to be pure myth. Its behavior is largely clandestine, but it appears to migrate to the south during the springtime. There are many folktales surrounding this species, but perhaps the most popular is that its appearance will bring about an early spring. When Moltres flaps its wings, it sheds hundreds of tiny embers. It is believed that these embers have healing properties. If injured, it will immerse itself in lava to heal.

===Habitat===
[[File:Rare Habitat.png|thumb|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Rare Pokémon}}]]
Moltres appear to live in hot regions, particularly active volcanoes. They are spectacularly rare. Moltres have been sighted on {{ka|Victory Road}} and near the [[Sevii Islands]]. One has been recently sighted, {{pkmn2|roaming}} [[Sinnoh]]. Another, possibly the one from Victory Road, lives in [[Mt. Silver]].

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

==In the anime==
[[File:Moltres M02.png|thumb|240px|Moltres in the anime]]
===Major appearances===
===={{DL|Legendary birds (M02)|Moltres|Moltres (M02)}}====
Moltres made its first true appearance in ''[[M02|The Power of One]]''. [[Lawrence III]] wanted to capture the three [[legendary birds]] as well as their master {{mov|Lugia|Lugia|02}}.

====Other====
Moltres also appeared in ''[[EP074|All Fired Up]]'' where it defeated {{TRT}}. It reappeared in a flashback in ''[[EP075|Round One - Begin!]]'' and in another flashback in ''[[EP080|Friends to the End]]''.

Moltres appeared in ''[[SS018|The Search for the Legend]]'' where [[Butch]] and [[Cassidy]] attempted to steal it.

===Minor appearances===
A robotic Moltres was shown chasing [[Jessie]], [[James]], and {{MTR}} in ''[[EP017|Island of the Giant Pokémon]]''.

Additionally it was mentioned in ''[[EP157|The Fortune Hunters]]'' where [[James]] mistakenly believed that it was his "Inner Pokémon" and dressed up in a Moltres costume.

A Moltres appeared in ''[[EP229|An EGG-sighting Adventure!]]'' as part of {{TRT}}'s fantasy.

A Moltres made a cameo in the intro of ''[[M08|Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]'', ''[[M10|The Rise of Darkrai]]'', ''[[M13|Zoroark: Master of Illusions]]'' and ''[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]''.

==In the manga==
[[File:Sabrina Moltres Adventures.png|thumb|Moltres as it appears in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
[[Sabrina]] is shown to have obtained Moltres for [[Team Rocket]] during the [[Kanto]] saga, but it is not seen in battle. It is later combined with {{p|Articuno}} and {{p|Zapdos}} to form a singular legendary bird, but they separate once Sabrina is defeated and go back to the wild.

{{adv|Green}} later catches Moltres on [[Mt. Ember]] during her training journey to overcome her fear of birds. She used it and its fellow legendary birds in the fight against [[Karen]] and [[Will]], who were commanding the [[Masked Man]]'s {{p|Ho-Oh}} and {{p|Lugia}}. She has not used any of them since, meaning they have probably been deposited in the box or released.

===In the Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Ginji's Rescue Team manga===
Moltres appeared in ''[[GRT3|Goodbye to a Peaceful Village]]'', where it attacked [[Ginji]] and {{OBP|Mudkip|Ginji's Rescue Team}} because it believed that Ginji was destined to destroy the world.

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

==Other appearances==
[[File:Moltres SSB.png|thumb|Moltres in Super Smash Bros.]]
===[[Super Smash Bros.]]===
Moltres made a cameo appearance in the Saffron City stage. Very rarely, it will fly by in the background.
[[File:Moltres SSBB.png|thumb|220px|Moltres in Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]

===[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]/[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl|Brawl]]===
When released from a Poké Ball, Moltres will remain where it is released, flapping its wings. It will then use {{m|Sky Attack}} in Melee or {{m|Fly}} in Brawl to leave the arena. Any opponent that touches it will receive a sizable amount of damage. Moltres is the only [[legendary birds|legendary bird]] to return in Brawl.

====Trophy Information====
=====Melee=====
''As tradition has it, the onset of spring heralds the return of this legendary Pokémon from its southern home. Its bright orange color and fiery aspect lends to its overwhelming appearance. {{m|Sky Attack}}, the strongest of flying moves, is a perfect fit for this burning phenom, but it obviously also excels at powerful {{type|Fire}} moves.''

=====Brawl=====
''"A Flame Pokémon. It's one of the legendary bird Pokémon. When Moltres appears in a town, it is said that spring will come earlier there than in other towns. If Moltres is injured, it apparently returns to a volcano to heal its wings with magma. Moltres spreads its wide, flame-covered wings and attacks opponents with the exciting and highly damaging {{m|Sky Attack}}."''

==Trivia==
* Moltres shares the same [[species]] name as {{p|Charmeleon}}, {{p|Charizard}}, {{p|Flareon}}, and {{p|Infernape}}. They are all known as Flame Pokémon.
* In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, Moltres is found in [[Johto]], making it the only [[legendary birds|legendary bird]] not to be found near its location in {{game|Red and Blue|s}} in these games.
* Moltres is the only one of the three legendary birds to not appear in the original opening of the English dub.
* Moltres is the only member of [[Legendary birds|its trio]] that can't have super effective [[Same-type attack bonus|STAB]] against a Pokémon of its own type. Both {{p|Zapdos}}'s {{t|Electric}} moves and {{p|Articuno}}'s {{t|Ice}} moves are super effective against the {{t|Flying}} Pokémon.

===Origin===
Like {{p|Ho-Oh}}, Moltres is based on the legend of the {{wp|phoenix}}. It is most likely based on either the Arabian phoenix or the {{wp|Firebird (Slavic folklore)|Slavic Firebird}}. Others claim that the bird is based on the Japanese mythical bird known as 朱雀 ''{{wp|Vermilion Bird|Suzaku}}'', guardian of the South, and is not a true phoenix. Regardless, the Pokémon has a very similar appearance to both the phoenix and the Suzaku. It may also be based on a {{wp|heron}} or {{wp|Bennu}}, because of their similarities in shape. It also embodies traits from a number of other {{wp|firebird}}s, such as the {{wp|three-legged bird}}.

===Name origin===
Moltres is a combination of ''molten'' and ''tres'' ({{wp|Spanish language|Spanish}} for ''three'', indicating that it is the third in the series of [[Kanto]] [[legendary birds]]). It may also derive from ''{{wp|Molting#Birds|molt}}''.

Fire is literally ''fire''.

{{StrategyWiki|Pokémon Black and White 2}}

'''Pokémon Black Version 2''' (Japanese: '''ポケットモンスターブラック {{tt|２|ツー}}''' ''Pocket Monsters Black 2'') and '''Pokémon White Version 2''' (Japanese: '''ポケットモンスターホワイト {{tt|２|ツー}}''' ''Pocket Monsters White 2'') are the second and final {{DL|Version|Relation to one another|paired versions}} of [[Generation V]] and are the sequels of [[Pokémon Black and White Versions|Pokémon Black and White]], respectively.

Both games were revealed on ''[[Pokémon Smash!]]'' by [[Junichi Masuda]], and subsequently the official Japanese and international<ref>[http://www.pokemon.com/us/pokemon-video-games/pokemon-black-version-2-and-pokemon-white-version-2/ Pokémon Black Version 2 and Pokémon White Version 2]</ref> Pokémon websites, on February 26, 2012. They were released in Japan on June 23, 2012, in North America on October 7, 2012, in Australia on October 11, 2012, in Europe on October 12, 2012 and in South Korea on November 8, 2012.

The games feature two new forms of {{p|Kyurem}} that serve as the [[version mascot]]s of the games: Black Kyurem for Black 2 and White Kyurem for White 2.

==Plot==
{{spoilers}}

The games take place two years after the events of {{game|Black and White|s}}. Many changes have taken place in [[Unova]] over this period: new locations are accessible in the southwest and northeast of the region, and some previously existing locations cannot be visited or are restricted until later in the game. Three new [[Gym Leader]]s and a new {{pkmn|Champion}} are introduced, while the [[List of Pokémon by Unova Pokédex number|Unova Pokédex]] is [[List of Pokémon by New Unova Pokédex number|expanded]] to include Pokémon foreign to the region, much like in {{game|Platinum}}.

The player—named, by default, {{ga|Nate}} if male or {{ga|Rosa}} if female—begins in the southwestern city [[Aspertia City]]. After receiving their [[starter Pokémon|first Pokémon]] from [[Professor Juniper]]'s assistant [[Bianca]], they are encouraged to battle in [[Gym|Pokémon Gyms]] and aim for the {{un|Pokémon League}}. A boy from the player's hometown, [[Hugh]], will travel with the player at certain times. Filling the traditional [[rival]] role, Hugh is not pursuing the Pokémon League challenge: it is revealed that he is trying to recover a stolen Pokémon from [[Team Plasma]], who were not disbanded two years prior as expected.

Over the course of their journey, the player and Hugh will have numerous encounters with both current and former members of Team Plasma, as well as the mysterious scientist [[Colress]]. One of the [[Seven Sages]], [[Zinzolin]], appears in an antagonistic role, yet former sage [[Rood]] will help the player. The plot comes to a head when Zinzolin freezes [[Opelucid City]] in ice with a combination of technology and the legendary dragon {{p|Kyurem}}, which Team Plasma has captured. The player must defeat Team Plasma including its new leader [[Ghetsis]] to free {{p|Kyurem}}. Ghetsis will combine the power of Kyurem with the power of the [[tao trio|legendary dragon]] befriended by [[N|his son]] two years earlier and force Kyurem to [[form differences#Kyurem|fuse]] with {{p|Zekrom}}{{sup/5|B2}} or {{p|Reshiram}}{{sup/5|W2}}. Only once Kyurem is safe and Team Plasma has been disbanded, can the player continue his or her journey to the Pokémon League.

After the main plot of the game has been completed, many inaccessible parts of Unova, including the [[Skyarrow Bridge]], will be unlocked. Further Pokémon not native to Unova will be available, and the legendary Pokémon {{p|Zekrom}}{{sup/5|B2}}/{{p|Reshiram}}{{sup/5|W2}} and {{p|Kyurem}} will reveal themselves to the player. When they are caught, the player will be able to fuse the Pokémon and change Kyurem's form at will.

==Blurb==
Two powers combine...A new legend arises! Set off on a new Pokémon adventure to save the Unova region! You and your Pokémon can accomplish anything together!

==Changes from Pokémon Black & White==
===Aesthetic changes===
* The opening is drastically different from the one in Black and White, now featuring the new [[Nate (game)|game]] [[Rosa (game)|characters]], the [[Tao trio]] and the [[Swords of Justice]]. Also, the title screen shows either Black Kyurem or White Kyurem, depending on the version.
* The bar that shows a Pokémon's level, experience points, and HP has been redesigned. It is black in Black 2 and white in White 2.
* The area eyecatch has also been redesigned and shows the location in the top left of the screen and season in the bottom right. It is black in Black 2 and white in White 2.
* New locations such as [[Aspertia City]], [[Virbank City]], [[Floccesy Town]], [[Lentimas Town]] and [[Humilau City]] have been added to the game.
* New characters are introduced, such as [[Hugh]], [[Colress]], [[Roxie]], [[Marlon]] and [[Benga]].
* [[Cheren]], [[Bianca]], [[Elesa]], [[Ghetsis]] and [[Iris]] all receive redesigns.
* All Unova Gyms receive redesigns, including newly remixed music in all but the [[Aspertia Gym]].
* Most of the Black and White music has been slightly remixed, in addition to the Gym Leader and Champion music from Kanto, Johto, Hoenn and Sinnoh.
* There have been several changes made to existing locations, such as [[Driftveil City]] and [[Nimbasa City]].
* Every Trainer has their own fully animated sprite. They have more frames, allowing for smoother animations.
* Several attacks have received new battle animations.
* The battle menu has been redesigned.
* The [[C-Gear]] has been redesigned.
* The [[Unova Pokédex]] has been expanded tremendously to accommodate older Pokémon.
** It also receives a slight aesthetic change, now having a red background instead of green.
** The Pokédex also receives an upgrade in the form of the Habitat List. It consists of a list of all visited places, with the Pokémon found there listed (if they have been seen). The player will sometimes receive prizes from certain NPCs {{tt|when a certain area is filled|This is indicated by a full Poké Ball if all of the Pokemon found there have been captured. An area gets a semi-full Poké Ball when all the Pokémon found in that area have at least been seen.}}.
* All returning Gym Leaders and Champions receive new sprites. This also applies for the overworld sprites.
* {{rt|4|Unova}} has changed drastically and also differs between Black 2 and White 2.
* {{un|Victory Road}} changed drastically from [[Victory Road (Black and White)|Black and White]] to [[Victory Road (Black 2 and White 2)|Black 2 and White 2]] as well and differs in appearance between Black 2 and White 2. It has also changed location.
* [[Challenger's Cave]]'s entrance collapsed, while {{rt|10|Unova}} was blocked off due to a landslide on Victory Road, making both areas inaccessible.
* In place of [[Cold Storage]], there is now the [[Pokémon World Tournament]].
* Places marked on the map with green dots in Black and White are now marked with green squares. Also, now when they are tapped they become red (though they still cannot be flown to). This was only true of [[Liberty Garden]] in Black and White.
* During battles in tall grass, there are now visible tufts of grass around the platform, with varying colors depending on the season.
* Following the battle at [[Opelucid Gym]], [[Team Plasma]] will freeze [[Opelucid City]] (along with a portion of the neighboring routes, {{rt|9|Unova}} and {{rt|11|Unova}}), which will last until after the player has defeated the Elite Four.
* The weather icons have been redesigned and are smaller.

===Storyline changes===
{{spoilers}}
* The player no longer starts in [[Nuvema Town]], instead starting in [[Aspertia City]].
* Instead of the usual 5 [[Poké Ball]]s, the player is given 10 at the start of his or her journey.
* [[Chili]], [[Cress]], [[Cilan]], [[Lenora]] and [[Brycen]] are replaced by [[Cheren]], [[Roxie]] and [[Marlon]] as Gym Leaders.
* Bianca gives the player a [[Starter Pokémon]].
* A new [[Team Plasma]] has formed, and is run by [[Ghetsis]].
* [[Colress]], a Team Plasma member, is battled frequently throughout the story.
* [[Rood]], [[Zinzolin]] and the [[Shadow Triad]] are battled as part of the story.
* The Gym Leader order has changed to Cheren, Roxie, Burgh, Elesa, Clay, Skyla, Drayden, Marlon.
* Iris is the new Champion of Unova.
* Ghetsis returns and plans to freeze Unova with Kyurem.
* N returns to Unova with either Zekrom{{sup/5|B2}} or Reshiram{{sup/5|W2}}, who is then fused with Kyurem to form either Black Kyurem{{sup/5|B2}} or White Kyurem{{sup/5|W2}}.
* Unlike [[Pokémon Black and White]], the version mascots Black Kyurem{{sup/5|B2}} or White Kyurem{{sup/5|W2}} can't be caught within the story, but can be obtained post-game by following certain requirements.
* {{p|Cobalion}} and {{p|Virizion}} interact with the player, making it possible to catch them during the storyline, although it is possible to catch all three Pokémon including {{p|Terrakion}}.
* Several tag battles take place throughout the game: one with the other player character, two with Cheren, four with Hugh, one with Bianca, and a daily tag battle with one of either Chili, Cress, or Cilan against the other two brothers.
* A new attraction known as the [[Pokémon World Tournament]] opens up in Driftveil City, where the player battles Gym Leaders and Champions from all five regions, among others.
* Another new attraction introduced is the [[Pokéstar Studios]], located in Virbank City, where the player takes part in many different movies. Brycen and [[Sabrina]] appear here.
* Lenora revives the player's Fossils.
* Several new key items exclusive to Black and White 2 are introduced.
* During the post-game, the player may find [[N]] at his castle and on the first visit, battles his Zekrom{{sup/5|B2}} or Reshiram{{sup/5|W2}}, who is free for capture after defeating N. Subsequent battles can be done once a season and feature N using a team of Pokémon centered around that season.
* Several areas that were previously limited to the post-game of Black and White are now part of the main story. In contrast, some of the areas that were formerly part of the main story are now limited to the post-game.

===Gameplay changes===
* The new [[Unova Link]] is introduced, which makes way for new features.
** [[Challenge Mode]] and [[Easy Mode]] are introduced, which raise and lower the strength of opposing Trainers respectively.
** A new feature called the [[Memory Link]] is introduced, which reveals flashbacks from the NPCs that shed light on events that happened between Black and White and Black 2 and White 2.
* Many TMs and all but {{m|Dive|one}} HM are received in different locations.
* The Xtransceiver adds two new mini-games called Balloon Catch, where the player needs to catch balloons of their face or an NPC's, and Balloon Smash, where the player needs to inflate the balloons as large as possible without bursting them.
* The [[Move Tutor]]s are back, and as with {{g|Platinum}}, they teach most of the moves that were in that game for [[Shard]]s, but here they all ask for shards of a specific color. They also teach many moves that lost their [[TM]] status, such as {{m|Dark Pulse}}, {{m|Roost}} and {{m|Stealth Rock}}.
* If the player has used a [[Repel]], after its effect wears off, and if the player has more Repels in their Bag, they will be asked if they would like to use another immediately without having to go into the menu.
* A number of legendaries from Hoenn and Sinnoh (excluding the [[Weather trio]] and [[Creation trio]]) can be found in the post-game.
* {{p|Zorua}}, {{p|Zoroark}} and {{TM|95|Snarl}}, which were previously accessible through Nintendo events only, can now be found within the game without any special requirements.
* The [[Kami Trio]] are notably the only [[Unova]] regional Pokémon absent from either game and must be obtained through the [[Pokémon Dream Radar]] and then transferred or alternatively they can be traded from {{2v2|Black|White}}. The Dream Radar is also necessary to obtain their new [[Form differences#Kami trio|forms]].
* Breeding was changed—the {{DL|Evolutionary stone|Everstone}} now always passes down Nature (if both parents hold Everstone, one parent's Nature is randomly picked). Furthermore, offspring have an 80% chance to have the Ability slot corresponding to their mother, unless it is a Hidden Ability; for example, {{p|Venomoth}} with {{a|Shield Dust}} is more likely to breed {{p|Venonat}} with {{a|Compoundeyes}} than with {{a|Tinted Lens}}.
* All {{tc|Pokémon Breeder}}s will now [[rematch|challenge the player again]] every time the player crosses their line of sight after exiting and re-entering the areas in which they are found.
* [[Hidden Grotto]]es are introduced and scattered all over Unova, giving access to many items and Pokémon with their Hidden Abilities, many of which were previously unobtainable.

==Features==

===Pokémon World Tournament===
{{main|Pokémon World Tournament}}

A new facility featured in Black 2 and White 2 is the Pokémon World Tournament, where the player is able to battle every [[Gym Leader]] and {{pkmn|Champion}} (except [[Koga]] and [[Iris]]) from the main series games in various types of battles.

===Pokéstar Studios===
{{main|Pokéstar Studios}}

Pokéstar Studios is a new feature in the games that allows the player to take part in making films involving Pokémon. The player chooses from various scenarios and acts them out.

===Seasons===
{{main|Seasons}}

Seasons once again return to the games. In addition to covering the entire screen upon starting the games, a text box appears at the bottom of the screen presenting the current season every time a new area is entered.

===Sprite animations===
Just like in {{game|Black and White|s}}, the Pokémon sprites are fully animated and move throughout battles. However, unlike Black and White, every Trainer in the game has battle animations, as well as more frames which allows for smoother animations.

The game also introduces new entry sprite animations for Pokémon, much as if it were a [[Shiny Pokémon]].

* [[N's Pokémon]], which are obtainable through [[Memory Link]], (with the exception of N's {{p|Zorua}}, who is obtainable during the main plot) have a green/yellow diamond shine, along with their own sound.
* Also, in the [[Pokéstar Studios]], when a player successfully completes a movie with their Pokémon in an unusual matter by deviating from the script, their Pokémon will become a star and during battles, when the Pokémon is summoned, a star will bounce upwards and then back downwards. This is the only entry animation that can be added manually by the player.

===Gyms===
Within the two years separating Black 2 and White 2 from their predecessors, some of the past [[Gym Leader]]s have passed on their positions to others or retired from the [[Unova League]]. The eight Gym Leaders of Unova are now: [[Cheren]] ({{t|Normal}}), [[Roxie]] ({{t|Poison}}), [[Burgh]] ({{t|Bug}}), [[Elesa]] ({{t|Electric}}), [[Clay]] ({{t|Ground}}), [[Skyla]] ({{t|Flying}}), [[Drayden]] ({{t|Dragon}}) and [[Marlon]] ({{t|Water}}).

===Elite Four and Champion===
Like {{2v2|Black|White}}, the [[Elite Four]] can be battled in any order; after battling all four, a path to the {{pkmn|Champion}} is unlocked. The Elite Four members are [[Shauntal]] ({{t|Ghost}}), [[Marshal]] ({{t|Fighting}}), [[Grimsley]] ({{t|Dark}}), and [[Caitlin]] ({{t|Psychic}}). The new Champion is [[Iris]].

==Pokémon==
Each game features a Pokédex of {{tt|301|numbered from 0 to 300}} different Pokémon species, many of which are from previous [[generation]]s such as {{p|Growlithe}}, {{p|Psyduck}}, and {{p|Marill}}.

* Normally unavailable, Regice and Registeel can be caught in the Black 2 and White 2, respectively, after trading respective keys from game which has unlocked them. Initially, Regice's key is unlocked in White 2, and Registeel's in Black 2.

==Compatibility==
Black 2 and White 2 can connect with the [[Pokémon Dream Radar]], which transfers Pokémon found to the player's game. The [[Pokémon Global Link]] has also been updated to make way for the release of Black 2 and White 2. The games are compatible with Black and White, much as {{v2|Platinum}} is to {{v2|Diamond and Pearl|s}}. The games can connect as with games of the same generation, and they operate on the same {{DL|Global Terminal|Global Trade Station}} server. Pokémon from the [[Generation IV]] games Diamond, Pearl, Platinum, HeartGold, and SoulSilver can be transferred to these games using the [[Poké Transfer]].

However, they are not entirely compatible with Pokémon Black and White as the updated Black 2 and White 2 [[Entralink]] no longer features the ability to travel into another player's "world" and thus Pass Powers are instead earned through minigames that take place in the hubworld. Likewise, a player in Black or White cannot connect with a Black 2 or White 2 via the Entralink system.

==Trivia==
* Other than games with a simultaneous worldwide release, the localization period for these games was the shortest worldwide of the [[Version|main series]], having lasted about three and a half months for the majority of the translated versions, with 106 days for North America, 110 for Australia, 111 for Europe and 138 for South Korea.
* They are the only main series Pokémon games to officially be a direct sequel to a pair of games from the same generation.
** {{game|Gold and Silver|s}} were initially advertised to be direct, numbered sequels to [[Generation I]], originally dubbed "Pocket Monsters 2". This was changed later, also making Black 2 and White 2 the only main series games with a number in their title.
* They are the only games to have anything after the word "Version" in their titles.
* They are the only main series games in which the player's [[hometown]] is a city rather than a town.
* They are the only paired versions to have {{p|Kyurem|the same Pokémon}} on both versions, with the only difference being its [[Form differences#Kyurem|form]].
* They are the only main series games in which the [[Pokémon Day Care]] is inaccessible before entering the [[Hall of Fame]].
* They are the only main series games in which the version mascot cannot be obtained without [[trade|trading]] before entering the Hall of Fame.
** Also, these are the first main series games in which a legendary Pokémon cannot be caught during the first battle against it.
* Players who pre-ordered the games from GameStop received a "Preview Guide" which hints at the new features and storyline, as well as explaining the {{Trading Card Game}}. It also includes parts of the animated trailer in a comic book-style format. The guide was released online in the UK.
* These are the only games in which each Gym has different music from the others. [[Aspertia Gym]] uses the normal Gym theme (probably due to the fact that it is a {{type|Normal}} Gym), while other Gyms use remixed versions, which are influenced by the type used.
* These were the last main series Pokémon games that were released for the DS system.

==Reception==
Gaming magazine {{wp|Famitsu}} gave Pokémon Black and White Versions 2 a score of 36 out of 40, which is lower than [[Pokémon Black and White Versions#Reception|its perfectly-scoring predecessors]].

According to Famitsu and Yahoo Japan, the game sold 1,618,621 copies during its first weekend on sale, making it the third best selling DS game of all time.<ref>http://www.famitsu.com/news/201206/26016963.html</ref><ref>http://dailynews.yahoo.co.jp/fc/entertainment/nintendo_ds/?1340702028</ref>

IGN rated this game an "Amazing" 9.6/10<ref>http://www.ign.com/articles/2012/10/04/pokemon-white-version-2-review</ref> and called it more "than just a slightly expanded repackaging of the latest generation's core titles (a la Pokémon Yellow, Emerald or Platinum)" and that it features a "stunning amount of fresh content" over {{game|Black and White|s}} which received a 9/10 from the site.<ref>http://www.ign.com/articles/2011/03/05/pokemon-white-review</ref>

{{StrategyWiki|Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire}}
'''Pokémon Ruby Version''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|ポケットモンスタールビー|Poketto Monsutā Rubī}}''' ''Pocket Monsters: Ruby'') and '''Pokémon Sapphire Version''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|ポケットモンスターサファイア|Poketto Monsutā Safaia}}''' ''Pocket Monsters: Sapphire'') are the first paired [[Version|main series]] of [[Generation III]] games that are set in the [[Hoenn]] [[region]]. They were released in Japan on November 21, 2002, in North America on March 19, 2003, in Australia on April 3, 2003 and in Europe on July 25, 2003.

Like all paired games beforehand, Ruby and Sapphire were followed by a third version, {{game|Emerald||Pokémon Emerald Version}}, two years later, and together became the best-selling [[Game Boy Advance]] games of all time.

==Plot==
{{spoilers}}
The player starts their journey in [[Littleroot Town]], where the family has just moved in from the [[Johto]] region after the player's father, [[Norman]], became the leader of the [[Petalburg Gym]]. The story starts off with the player riding in the moving van, which arrives in Littleroot. After exiting the van, the player's mother explains that they have just arrived at their new home; they then enter the house together, and there are {{p|Machoke}} movers carrying boxes. The player's mother suggests that the player introduce themselves to [[Professor Birch]], a friend of Norman's.

Upon arriving at Birch's house, his wife greets the player, and upstairs the player meets their [[Rival|pseudo-rival]] (the alternate-gender player character of the player), the child of Professor Birch; after the introduction, he/she soon leaves to join Birch, who is out in the field. The player then finds Birch on {{rt|101|Hoenn}}, where he is being chased by a {{p|Poochyena}}. Birch asks the player to take a [[Poké Ball]] out of his bag, which is lying on the ground; the player then chooses between {{p|Treecko}}, {{p|Torchic}}, and {{p|Mudkip}} as their [[starter Pokémon]]. After choosing, a battle immediately begins with the wild Poochyena. After rescuing Birch, he lets the player keep the chosen Pokémon as thanks for saving him. He then tells the player to meet up with his kid on {{rt|103|Hoenn}} for pointers on how to be a Trainer.

Once the player finds their pseudo-rival on Route 103, they have their first {{pkmn|battle}}, after which they return to Birch's lab, where the player receives a [[Pokédex]] and some [[Poké Ball]]s. Outside of the lab, the player's mother gives them the [[Running Shoes]]. Once the player arrives in Petalburg City, they meet with their father at the Gym, where he tells them that he is happy to learn that they have become a Trainer like him. During the conversation, a local boy named {{ga|Wally}} enters the Gym and asks Norman to help him catch a Pokémon. Norman loans Wally a {{p|Zigzagoon}} and a Poké Ball. He then asks the player to go along and help Wally with his task. On {{rt|102|Hoenn}}, Wally catches a {{p|Ralts}}, and the Trainers then return to the Gym, where Wally gives his thanks before being called home by his mother. Norman then encourages the player to travel [[Hoenn]] and challenge the nine [[Gym Leader]]s: [[Roxanne]], [[Brawly]], [[Wattson]], [[Flannery]], [[Norman]], [[Winona]], [[Tate and Liza]], and [[Wallace]].

The player then travels through {{rt|104|Hoenn}} and [[Petalburg Woods]]; just before the exit from the woods, the player encounters the nefarious [[Team Magma]]{{sup/3|Ru}} or [[Team Aqua]]{{sup/3|Sa}}. After battling, the grunt reveals that their team is after something in [[Rustboro City]].

At the [[Rustboro Gym]], the player battles Roxanne and earns the {{Badge|Stone}}; afterwards, the player runs into the Devon Researcher from Petalburg Woods. He tells the player that he has been robbed by Team Magma{{sup/3|Ru}}/Team Aqua{{sup/3|Sa}} and that the player must get the {{key|III|Devon Goods}} back from the evil team. The player then heads out onto {{rt|116|Hoenn}} and discovers an old man named [[Mr. Briney]] who tells them that the villainous team has also taken his {{p|Wingull}} [[Peeko]] hostage and gone into the [[Rusturf Tunnel]]. The player confronts the grunt inside the tunnel and retrieves the Devon Goods, as well as rescuing Peeko.

Once the Devon Goods are returned, the researcher asks the player to deliver them to the shipyard in [[Slateport City]]. The player then meets [[Mr. Stone]], the president of the [[Devon Corporation]], who asks that the player stop by [[Dewford Town]] and deliver a letter to his son {{Steven}}; as thanks for the player's earlier work, Mr. Stone gives the player a [[PokéNav]]. The player heads back through the Petalburg Woods to [[Mr. Briney]]'s house, where he gives the player a ride down {{rt|105|Hoenn}} to Dewford Town. Just north of Dewford on {{rt|106|Hoenn}} is the [[Granite Cave]] where Steven is exploring. The player obtains {{HM|05|Flash}} at the entrance, but it will not work without the [[Dewford Gym]]'s Badge. After earning the {{Badge|Knuckle}} from Brawly, the player can now use Flash to find Steven in the Granite Cave and deliver the letter. Steven rewards the player with {{TM|47|Steel Wing}} and tells the player that he/she could potentially become the Pokémon League Champion.

After leaving Dewford Town, Mr. Briney takes the player across {{rt|107|Hoenn}} and {{rt|108|Hoenn}} to {{rt|109|Hoenn}}, just south of Slateport City. When the player arrives in Slateport, there is a noticeable crowd of Team Magma{{sup/3|Ru}}/Team Aqua{{sup/3|Sa}} grunts blocking the entrance to the [[Oceanic Museum]]. When the player tries to drop off the Devon Goods at [[Stern's Shipyard]], they learn that [[Captain Stern]] is in the Oceanic Museum. Once the player finds Captain Stern, they are confronted by two villainous grunts, and after defeating them, the villainous team's leader [[Maxie]]{{sup/3|Ru}}/[[Archie]]{{sup/3|Sa}} appears and tells the player of their plans before warning not to get in the way again.

After giving the Devon Goods to Captain Stern, the player leaves Slateport City and travels {{rt|110|Hoenn}}; after encountering and battling the pseudo-rival, the player arrives in [[Mauville City]]. Outside of the [[Mauville Gym]], the player finds Wally and his uncle; Wally challenges the player to a battle to prove to his uncle that he is ready for the Gym. After the battle, Wally's uncle invites the player to visit [[Verdanturf Town]] sometime. Once the {{Badge|Dynamo}} has been earned from Wattson, the player heads to Verdanturf Town and uses {{m|Rock Smash}} to clear the previously blocked Rusturf Tunnel, earning {{HM|04|Strength}} as a reward. Next, the player returns to Mauville and travels through {{rt|111|Hoenn}} and {{rt|112|Hoenn}} to the [[Fiery Path]], on the other side of which the player continues through {{rt|113|Hoenn}} to [[Fallarbor Town]].

Inside the Fallarbor Pokémon Center, the player meets [[Lanette]], who invites them to her house on {{rt|114|Hoenn}}. At the end of Route 114 is [[Meteor Falls]], inside which the player finds Team Magma{{sup/3|Ru}}/Team Aqua{{sup/3|Sa}}. This time, they have stolen a valuable {{key|III|Meteorite}} from [[Professor Cozmo]]. Suddenly, the scene is interrupted by the appearance of the opposite-version's team, which causes the thieves to retreat to [[Mt. Chimney]] with the stolen meteorite. At the top of Mt. Chimney, Team Magma and Team Aqua can be found fighting over the meteorite; after fighting an admin of the primary evil team ([[Tabitha]] in Ruby, [[Aqua Admin Matt|Matt]] in Sapphire), the player finds the leader of the team using the meteorite in a strange machine. The leader then battles the player.

Taking the southern path that was blocked by the battling teams, the player exits Mt. Chimney and reaches [[Lavaridge Town]], home of the [[Lavaridge Gym]]. After receiving the {{Badge|Heat}} from Flannery, the player is given the [[Go-Goggles]] by their pseudo-rival, who then suggests that the player challenge their father at the Petalburg Gym. After getting the {{Badge|Balance}} from Norman, the player visits Wally's father, who gives the player {{HM|03|Surf}}.

As the player then travels through {{rt|118|Hoenn}} (just east of Mauville City), they encounter Steven once again. Afterwards, the player continues through {{rt|119|Hoenn}}, reaching the [[Weather Institute]], which is being attacked by the evil team in search of the {{p|Castform|weather Pokémon}} that the institute has created. After battling the grunts and facing off with an admin ([[Magma Admin Courtney|Courtney]] in Ruby, [[Shelly]] in Sapphire), the player saves the institute and is given the Pokémon {{p|Castform}} as a reward. Shortly after leaving the Institute, the pseudo-rival appears and battles the player, and they give away {{HM|02|Fly}} upon defeat.

The player arrives in [[Fortree City]] but cannot challenge the Gym because something invisible is blocking the entrance. On {{rt|120|Hoenn}}, the player once again meets Steven, and he gives the player the {{key|III|Devon Scope}}, which allows them to enter the Gym by revealing the invisible thing to be the Pokémon {{p|Kecleon}}. After the player defeats Winona and receives the {{Badge|Feather}}, the quest continues through {{rt|120|Hoenn}} and {{rt|121|Hoenn}} to [[Lilycove City]]. On {{rt|121|Hoenn}}, there are some grunts from the evil team discussing their plan to go to [[Mt. Pyre]], and upon arriving in Lilycove, the player finds it crawling with more grunts. Outside of the [[Lilycove Department Store]], the player battles his/her pseudo-rival again.

After the battle, the player heads to Mt. Pyre to drive off the evil team. At the summit of Mt. Pyre, the player finds the leader of the team, who has taken the {{DL|Legendary artifacts|Blue Orb}}{{sup/3|Ru}}/{{DL|Legendary artifacts|Red Orb}}{{sup/3|Sa}} and proclaims that the young Trainer has arrived too late to stop him; the team then heads for Slateport City. The old couple that watch over the orbs beseech the player to stop the evil team, and they give the player the stolen orb's counterpart. Upon returning to Slateport, the player finds that Capt. Stern has discovered an undersea cavern on {{rt|128|Hoenn}}. The evil team then suddenly appears and takes over the captain's research submarine. The leader of the evil team once again taunts the player, and he mentions that the team's hideout is in Lilycove City. Once the player fights their way through to the center of the [[Aqua Hideout|hideout]], finding the [[Master Ball]] along the way, they encounter an admin (Tabitha in Ruby, Courtney in Sapphire) who battles the player to stall until the leader takes off in the submarine.

The player must then travel {{rt|124|Hoenn}} to [[Mossdeep City]]. Steven's house is at the northwestern edge of the city, and here the player receives {{HM|08|Dive}}. Next, the player challenges Tate and Liza of the [[Mossdeep Gym]] to earn the {{Badge|Mind}}. Heading to {{rt|128|Hoenn}} and using Dive, the player finds the [[Seafloor Cavern]], where the evil team has gone. In the deepest reaches of the cavern, the player has a showdown with the team leader, who then uses the Orb to awaken the sleeping {{p|Groudon}}{{sup/3|Ru}}/{{p|Kyogre}}{{sup/3|Sa}} there. After being awakened, the ancient Pokémon vanishes, and the weather all over Hoenn goes out of control. The leader realizes that he can't control the Pokémon's power at all; just then, the leader of the opposite team appears, and the two bosses team up to try to stop the rampage.

After the bosses leave, Steven appears and tells the player to head to [[Sootopolis City]], to which Groudon/Kyogre has gone. Heading to {{rt|126|Hoenn}} and using Dive again, the player finds the entrance to Sootopolis City. Inside the city, the player finds Steven, who introduces them to his friend Wallace, the Sootopolis Gym Leader, who is also entrusted with the duty of protecting the [[Cave of Origin]]. Upon seeing the Orb that the player possesses, Wallace grants them entrance to the cave, where the rampaging ancient Pokémon is waiting. After capturing or defeating the Pokémon, the weather returns to normal, and the world is saved.

Steven is then found waiting outside of the [[Sootopolis Gym]] to thank the player on his and Wallace's behalf before the player faces the final Gym challenge. Afterwards, with the {{Badge|Rain}} in tow, the player now has all eight Badges, and they head down {{rt|128|Hoenn}} to [[Ever Grande City]], where {{ho|Victory Road}} and the final challenge await. Wally battles the player one last time before they exit the cavern.

The [[Elite Four]] are the strongest Trainers in the region, and they can only be battled by challengers that have proven themselves by collecting the eight Badges of Hoenn. They are [[Sidney]], who specializes in {{type|Dark}} Pokémon; [[Phoebe]], who specializes in {{type|Ghost}} Pokémon; [[Glacia]], who specializes in {{type|Ice}} Pokémon; and {{EF|Drake}}, who specializes in {{type|Dragon}} Pokémon. After defeating the Elite Four, the player must then battle the [[Pokémon Champion|Pokémon League Champion]], Steven.

After the battle, Professor Birch and the pseudo-rival arrive to congratulate the player. Birch examines the player's Pokédex, the player is registered in the Hall of Fame, and the credits roll.

After the credits, the player is returned to Littleroot Town. Downstairs, [[Norman]] gives the player the {{key|III|S.S. Ticket}} to take the [[S.S. Tidal]] over to the {{ho|Battle Tower}}. The player also now has the ability to encounter {{p|Rayquaza}} at the [[Sky Pillar]] and find {{p|Latios}}{{sup/3|Ru}}/{{p|Latias}}{{sup/3|Sa}} {{pkmn2|roaming}} around Hoenn.

==Connectivity==
Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire continued the tradition allowing players to trade Pokémon between two cartridges, this time via the [[Game Boy Advance]] [[Link Cable]]. They are not compatible with the wireless adapter.
Unlike {{game3|Gold and Silver|previous games|s}}, Ruby and Sapphire were not backward compatible with Generations {{Gen|I}} and {{Gen|II}}. This prompted remakes of the original games, {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}. [[Trade|Trading]] between these games, {{g|Colosseum}}, and {{g|XD: Gale of Darkness}} and the third Hoenn-based game, {{game|Emerald}}, is possible. These games are also the first to support linking between different language versions for trading and battling without risk of losing their saved games. If one person is trading with FireRed, LeafGreen or Emerald, the sprite is changed to either Brendan's or May's depending on the gender, it was changed on Emerald where a different sprite is used depending of the version being exchanged. However, some limitations still took place, which would not be removed until much later in [[Generation IV]] with {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s|Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Versions}} for the [[Nintendo DS]].

While Generation III cannot trade directly with the [[Generation IV]] or [[Generation V]] games, a player's Pokémon may be permanently transferred to Generation IV via [[Pal Park]], and some {{cat|Generation III Pokémon}} can be found using the [[dual-slot mode]]. Pokémon from Generation III games can be transferred to Black and White via [[Poké Transfer]] by going through a Generation IV game.

==Features==
===Gyms===
There are eight Pokémon Gyms in Hoenn, each with their own type affiliation. The Gym Leaders are [[Roxanne]] ({{t|Rock}}), [[Brawly]] ({{t|Fighting}}), [[Wattson]] ({{t|Electric}}), [[Flannery]] ({{t|Fire}}), [[Norman]] ({{t|Normal}}), [[Winona]] ({{t|Flying}}), [[Tate and Liza]] ({{t|Psychic}}), and [[Wallace]] ({{t|Water}}).

===Elite Four===
Ruby and Sapphire introduced a brand new Elite Four syndicate, which is found in Ever Grande City. The Elite Trainers are [[Sidney]] ({{t|Dark}}), [[Phoebe]] ({{t|Ghost}}), [[Glacia]] ({{t|Ice}}), and {{EF|Drake}} ({{t|Dragon}}); the Champion is [[Steven Stone|Steven]], who uses {{type|Steel}} Pokémon.

==Pokémon==
Like {{game|Gold and Silver|s|Pokémon Gold and Silver Versions}} before them, Ruby and Sapphire introduced many new Pokémon, with 135 new Pokémon released bringing the total to 386. However, Ruby and Sapphire are incompatible with previous games, due to the lack of communications between [[Game Boy]] and [[Game Boy Color]] games with [[Game Boy Advance]] games.

Regardless of version; trades must occur between players in order to complete their Pokédex without the use of cheats or glitches. Latios (Sapphire event only), Latias (Ruby event only), Jirachi and Deoxys are the only {{cat|Generation III Pokémon}} in Ruby and Sapphire that must be acquired through outside means, such as attending Nintendo sponsored event, or using a cheating device. Other Pokémon, such as {{p|Bulbasaur}}, not featured in the [[Hoenn Pokédex]] must be traded from a [[Generation III]] game in which they are found.

===PokéNav===
The [[PokéNav]] is received shortly after the beginning of the game from Mr. Stone. It has several functions which are used throughout the game. The PokéNav displays a map of Hoenn, the Condition of the player's Pokémon, and also has the feature Trainer's Eyes, which keeps data on various Trainers and alerts the player when the Trainers want rematches. The PokéNav also displays the Ribbons that a Pokémon has earned.

===New Poké Balls===
More specialized [[Poké Ball]]s were introduced in these games. The {{ball|Premier}} is a commemorative Poké Ball, a {{ball|Repeat}} makes it easier to catch Pokémon that the player has already caught before, the {{ball|Timer}} makes catching Pokémon easier the more turns have passed in the battle, the {{ball|Nest}} makes lower-leveled Pokémon easier to catch, while the {{ball|Net}} makes Water and Bug Pokémon easier to catch. The {{ball|Dive}} has a high catch-rate with sea-dwelling Pokémon, and the {{ball|Luxury}} makes the captured Pokémon more comfortable and friendly to its Trainer much more quickly. These balls are sold at various [[Poké Mart]]s throughout Hoenn.

==Glitches==
As with all Pokémon games, Ruby and Sapphire have a fair number of glitches. One of these is the infamous [[Berry glitch]], which made most time based events, such as Berry growing, impossible after the game had been owned for a year, or played for over 100 hours. This glitch is able to be corrected, however, by downloading the Berry patch from either the {{g|Colosseum}} [[Pokémon Colosseum Bonus Disc|bonus disc]], or {{3v2|FireRed|LeafGreen|Emerald}}. These games also host several [[glitch Pokémon]], such as [[Ten question marks|??????????]] or [[Bad Egg]].

==New features==
Ruby and Sapphire introduced a number of features to the Pokémon video game franchise, many of which set a new standard for every game in the series that followed. Ruby and Sapphire expanded the [[Pokémon Storage System]] by adding a much more user-friendly graphical interface. The games also introduced individualized menu sprites for every Pokémon species. [[Weather conditions]] may be found on the field in some areas, which will activate the weather condition at the beginning of battle. A new weather condition, hail, has also been added.

===Abilities===
Ruby and Sapphire introduced [[Ability|Abilities]] for each Pokémon, such as non Flying-type Pokémon being {{a|Levitate|immune to Ground-type attacks}}, or a Pokémon's [[Same-type attack bonus|STAB]] attacks being {{a|Blaze|boosted when}} {{a|Torrent|their HP}} {{a|Overgrow|is low}}, even the ability to absorb certain attacks and {{a|Volt Absorb|recover HP}} or {{a|Flash Fire|boost a stat}}. The introduction of Abilities added new depths of strategy to the battle system.

===Natures===
Ruby and Sapphire also introduced [[Nature]]s for Pokémon. Natures shift the stats (excluding HP) of Pokémon by subtracting 10% in one stat, and adding that 10% to another. For example, a Modest nature means 10% will be subtracted from the {{stat|Attack}} stat of a Pokémon, and 10% will be added to the {{stat|Special Attack}} stat. This mechanic allowed for levels of customization not previously seen.

===Double Battles===
Ruby and Sapphire are the games that introduced [[Double Battle]]s. These types of battles are heavier on strategy than usual because each Trainer battles using two Pokémon at a time, so the Abilities and moves of all Pokémon on the field have to be considered.

===Stat changes===
The {{EV}} and {{IV}} systems were refined in Ruby and Sapphire, the maximum IV a stat could have was boosted from 15 to 31, and a Pokémon's gender was no longer determined by the IV of its attack stat, which made it possible to have female Pokémon with maximum attack IVs, something that hadn't been possible before. The EV system is altered from the former stat experience system, with all Pokémon giving 1, 2, or 3 effort points in one or more of the six stats after their defeat in battle, with a cap of 255 per stat and 510 overall. A Pokémon with 510 EVs will be awarded with the [[Effort Ribbon]] if it is shown to a girl in Slateport City.

===Pokémon Contests===
Ruby and Sapphire were the first in the series to offer a secondary means of interacting with Pokémon, in the form of Pokémon Contests. In Contests the goal is to show off the abilities of a Pokémon in the various categories ([[Beauty Contest|Beauty]], [[Cool Contest|Cool]], [[Cute Contest|Cute]], [[Smart Contest|Smart]] and [[Tough Contest|Tough]]) after winning a Contest in a certain category the player and Pokémon advance to the next rank in that category (Normal, Super, Hyper, and Master). This also brought about the first confectionery goods that could be made by the player and fed to their Pokémon, [[Pokéblock]]s.

===Ribbons===
These games were also the first to offer [[Ribbon]]s to the player's Pokémon for achieving various goals, or to commemorate special events in the game, including winning in Pokémon Contests, beating the Champion, and maxing out the EVs of a Pokémon.

==Reception==
Both games were well received, receiving perfect ratings from GamePro<ref>[http://www.gamepro.com/article/reviews/28564/pokemon-ruby-and-sapphire-versions/ Pokémon Sapphire Version Review from GamePro] (retrieved December 21, 2009)</ref> and Mainia.<ref> [http://www.mania.com/pokemon-rubysapphire_article_38026.html Mainia.com Review of Pokemon Ruby and Sapphire Versions] (retrieved April 1, 2010)</ref> IGN rated the games at 9.5/10 and commented that they were a "wonderful GBA follow-up to the immense Game Boy blockbuster."<ref>[http://uk.gameboy.ign.com/articles/389/389660p1.html IGN: Pokemon Ruby Version Review] (retrieved December 21, 2009)</ref> However, some reviews criticized the repetitive nature of the games, with Eurogamer commenting that "apart from the occasional tense battle with a Gym Leader and the more sophisticated opponents later on in the game, the constant fighting and collecting mechanic gets very tired, very fast."<ref>[http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/r_pokemonrubysapphire_gba Pokemon Ruby & Sapphire Review | GBA | Eurogamer] (retrieved December 21, 2009)</ref> Though, these are more criticisms of the series in general.

Ruby and Sapphire were the second and third best selling games of 2003 (with Pokémon Ruby selling more)<ref>[http://npd.com/press/releases/press_040126a.htm NPD's list of 2003's top selling games] (retrieved April 1, 2010)</ref>, and received an average score of 82% on Metacritic.<ref>[http://www.metacritic.com/games/platforms/gba/pokemonruby?q=pokemon Pokemon Ruby (gba) reviews at Metacritic.com] (retrieved December 21, 2009)</ref> With the versions combined, the games were the best selling title on the Game Boy Advance. If not, the title belongs to its third version {{v2|Emerald}}.

==Awards==
Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire got the 10th spot on IGN's top 25 Game Boy Advance Games of all time.<ref>[http://gameboy.ign.com/articles/772/772284p4.html IGN: Top 25 Game Boy Advance Games of All Time] (retrieved December 21, 2009)</ref>

==Staff==
{{main|Staff of Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire}}

==Trivia==
* Along with {{game|Emerald}}, these are the only {{g|games}} to feature both parents for the main character.
* These are also the only [[main series]] games where the [[rival]] is never encountered with his/her starter in its final stage.
** Also, along with {{v2|Emerald}} and {{v2|Black and White|s}}, these are the only main series games where the name of the rival can't be chosen.
* These games were released in Japan on the third anniversary of the Japanese release of {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}.
* Ruby and Sapphire were the first [[main series]] games in which [[Kanto]] is inaccessible.
* A special promotional coin featuring {{p|Groudon}} and {{p|Kyogre}} were available with American preorders of Ruby and Sapphire, respectively.
* Pre-release boxart for these games depicted the version name below the mascot {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with the same font used in the [[Generation I]] and {{Gen|II}} games, with the "[[Gotta catch 'em all!]]" slogan present below the Pokémon logo. This was dropped for the final boxart, which features the version names directly below the Pokémon logo and in a different font, dropping the slogan entirely.
* These were the first {{g|games}} to have a {{wp|Frame rate|framerate}} of 60 fps. This change carried over to {{3v2|FireRed|LeafGreen|Emerald}}. However, the framerate was downgraded to 30 fps in the [[Generation IV]] games.
* Due to the font used in the international versions, the marker for when a move is selected for usage in the battle screen differs from that of the Japanese version. Whereas the Japanese version uses an arrow to indicate the current selected move, like all later releases of the [[Generation III]] games would use, the international versions of Ruby and Sapphire utilize a red rectangle with the same purpose.
* The intro of Ruby and Sapphire differ slightly - Ruby features {{ga|Brendan}} or {{ga|May}}, depending on the gender chosen, riding a bike near forest and mountains, when {{p|Latios}} appears (and afterwards shows him or her battling against a {{p|Sharpedo}} and a {{p|Duskull}}), while Sapphire has instead Brendan or May riding a bike near ocean, with {{p|Latias}} appearing (and then, similarly to Ruby, he or she is engaged in a battle)

'''Celebi''' (Japanese: '''セレビィ''' ''Celebi'') was a main character in ''[[M04|Celebi: Voice of the Forest]]''.

==History==
{{spoilers}}
[[Image:Dark Celebi.png|275px|thumb|left|Dark Celebi]]
[[Image:Wooden Celebi.png|250px|thumb|Celebi's wooden construct, in the image of a dark, mutated Celebi]]
While trying to escape from a [[Pokémon Hunter]], Celebi stumbled across [[Sam]], who was out looking for Pokémon. Just as the hunter was about to capture the Pokémon, it time traveled with Samuel Oak to escape and ended up in the time of {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}}.

However, there was still danger in the present, this time from a [[Team Rocket]] member known as the [[Iron-Masked Marauder]]. Using a [[Dark Ball]], the Iron-Masked Marauder captured Celebi to use for his own evil plans, and the Pokemon was put under his dark control. With the help of Ash and the others, Celebi was set free from the Iron-Masked Marauder. However, it looked very grim for Celebi, who wasn't able to heal itself in the lake where it had healed before because the lake was too polluted.

Fortunately, many other Celebi from the past and future came to heal their friend. Once Celebi was healed, it was able to go back to the past and take Sammy with it.

In ''[[The Mastermind of Mirage Pokémon]]'', it was seen in Pikachu's memories. It also made a cameo in the beginning of ''[[M10|The Rise of Darkrai]]''.

==Personality and Characteristics==
Celebi is a very playful Pokémon, as it is often seen playing around with {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}}. However, this playful and kind personality is masked after Celebi is captured in a {{Ball|Dark}} by the [[Iron-Masked Marauder]] and put under his control. Instead of being its usual playful self, Celebi becomes a dark, hateful Pokémon. This behavior results in the creation of a giant Celebi out of surrounding branches and a massive attack on the forest it once called home. This behavior remained until Ash, [[Sam|Sammy]], and [[Suicune (M04)|Suicune]] managed to restore Celebi's memories and its old personality. After it is freed from the Iron Masked Marauder, Celebi retains none of its previous nasty and dark behavior. Celebi is also very helpful and spirited, however, due to this, it was an easy subject to the Iron-Masked Marauder's plans. Its evil behavior was not natural and was a result of being captured in a Dark Ball.

'''Ash's Muk''' (Japanese: '''サトシのベトベトン''' ''Satoshi's Betbeton'') was the ninth {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} caught by {{Ash}} during his travels through [[Kanto]].

==History==
===Kanto===
[[File:Muk Grimer EP030.png|thumb|left|200px|Ash's Muk in its debut]]
Ash caught Muk in the episode ''[[EP030|Sparks Fly for Magnemite]]''. Ash and {{ashfr}} were traveling through [[Gringey City]], which was in the midst of a power failure. The local power plant was being overrun by the mysterious {{type|Poison}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, {{p|Grimer}}. After the swarm was located, the Grimer's leader, a {{p|Muk}}, came and challenged the Trainers. However, the vast numbers of {{p|Magnemite}} and {{p|Magneton}} in the city combined attacks to clear out the Grimer, leaving only Muk. With the aid of {{AP|Pikachu}} and a {{p|Magnemite}} that was following it due to an electrical build up, Ash defeated and captured the Muk. It was then immediately sent to Oak's lab because its stench was so rancid that it could seep through the [[Poké Ball]]. However, Muk's horrid smell seemed to have disappeared in later episodes as neither Ash, nor anyone around him, was affected by it.
[[File:Jeanette Fisher Bellsprout Ash Muk.png|200px|thumb|Ash's Muk easily absorbing attacks]]
Muk's first battle was in ''[[EP077|The Fourth Round Rumble]]'', where it was selected for use in the [[Indigo Plateau Conference]]. After [[Jeanette Fisher]]'s high-level {{p|Bellsprout}} had trounced {{AP|Bulbasaur}} and {{AP|Pikachu}}, Muk made a surprise appearance as Ash's third Pokémon. Muk easily absorbed Bellsprout's physical moves and {{m|Razor Leaf}} and then simply smothered Bellsprout with {{m|Body Slam}}, winning the match for Ash.

Muk was briefly called in ''[[EP102|The Mystery Menace]]'', where Ash used Muk to help him and {{Tracey}} find {{an|Misty}}, {{TP|Misty|Togepi}} and {{AP|Bulbasaur}}, who was kidnapped by a giant {{p|Bulbasaur}} in a sewer. Muk and Kingler also offered to fight for Ash in the Orange Island Championship battle against [[Drake (Orange League)|Drake]] in ''[[EP111|Hello, Pummelo!]]'', but Ash chose {{AP|Tauros}} instead.
[[File:Muk eager to fight.png|thumb|200px|left|Muk asking Ash to let it fight]]
Muk was reunited with Ash when he returned home in ''[[EP115|A Tent Situation]]''. Muk insisted on fighting Team Rocket, and Ash ordered it into battle instead of choosing Bulbasaur. Muk managed to resist {{m|Razor Leaf}} attacks from [[James]]'s {{TP|James|Victreebel}}, and showed off its newly learned {{m|Poison Gas}} when it bit down on it in an attempt to use {{m|PoisonPowder}}. {{TP|Jessie|Lickitung}}'s {{m|Lick}} was even less effective, wiping Muk's face ineffectively to the point of causing pleasure instead of damage. It was then put to sleep by {{m|Sleep Powder}}, but awoke after [[Gary Oak]] intervened and drove Team Rocket away.

===Johto===
[[File:Ash Muk Gary Scizor.png|thumb|200px|Muk battling Gary's Scizor]]
Muk's only other major battle was when Ash called it up from Oak's Lab in ''[[EP270|Can't Beat the Heat!]]'', along with {{AP|Heracross}}, {{AP|Tauros}} and {{AP|Snorlax}} in order to fight {{Gary}} in the [[Silver Conference]]. It was sent out originally to fight {{TP|Gary|Blastoise}}, and the two fought to a stalemate, with Muk's {{m|Sludge Bomb}} deflected by {{m|Rapid Spin}} and Blastoise's physical attacks absorbed into Muk's body. Ash pulled Muk for his {{AP|Bayleef}} quickly after. It was sent out to fight {{p|Scizor}} later, who dodged a Sludge Bomb easily. Whilst Muk absorbed both {{m|Quick Attack}} and {{m|Metal Claw}}, Scizor was able to throw Muk, and defeated it with {{m|Swift}}.

Muk made an appearance in the special episodes, where it was seen crushing [[Cassidy]], [[Butch]] and all of the stolen Poké Balls. It was also seen crushing Tracey when he opened the door to Oak's Lab to {{Delia}}.

===Advanced Generation===

Muk appeared in ''[[AG133|The Right Place and the Right Mime]]'' when Ash returned to Pallet Town. It greeted [[Professor Birch]] with its usual friendliness.

===Sinnoh===
Muk reappeared in ''[[DP182|An Old Family Blend!]]'', at [[Professor Oak's Laboratory|Prof. Oak's lab]], and then it was transferred to Ash for a brief reunion. Muk was not seen participating in the [[Lily of the Valley Conference]].

===Best Wishes series===
Muk made a brief appearance in [[BW109]], smothering Professor Oak while Ash was calling him from [[Professor Juniper]]'s laboratory.

==Personality and characteristics==
[[File:Ash Muk Oak affection.png|thumb|220px|Ash's Muk showing affection for its Trainer and Oak]]

Ash's Muk is an extremely happy and affectionate Pokémon. It grew an attachment in particular to {{an|Professor Oak}} and as a recurring gag, it would always smother the Professor whenever Ash would make a call to the [[Professor Oak's Laboratory|lab]]. This was first seen twenty episodes after its capture, in ''[[EP050|Who Gets To Keep Togepi?]]''. Muk tackled Professor Oak in excitement in ''[[EP065|Showdown at the Po-ké Corral]]'', when Oak explained that Muk and {{AP|Krabby|Kingler}} had become just like him from its long period of living with him.
[[File:Ash Muk Jessie affection.png|thumb|left|220px|Muk loves humans and it's not too particular what kind.]]
Muk's affection also extends to his Trainer, second in enthusiasm only to {{AP|Bayleef}}, despite only having fought for him on three occasions. Muk obligingly crushes Ash in excitement whenever Ash returns to the lab or summons it to his party. Its affection also extends to complete strangers, as was seen when it completely ignored [[Jessie]]'s {{TP|Jessie|Lickitung}} in order to hug her, also smothering [[James]]'s {{TP|James|Victreebel}} in excitement. It also smothered [[Professor Birch#In the anime|Professor Birch]] upon meeting him in ''[[AG133|The Right Place and the Right Mime]]''.

Its affection even extends to antagonists, as seen both in the aforementioned encounter with Jessie and James, and also in a special episode, ''[[SS004|Showdown at the Oak Corral]]'', when it actually appeared sad that {{AP|Totodile}} drove [[Butch]] and [[Cassidy]] away. As Professor Oak said to Jessie, Muk loves humans, and it is not very particular to which kind.

Muk differs from most of Ash's other Pokémon in that it is a defensive Pokémon, with a low attack power and very few moves used across its entire time on the show. It has never been shown to be damaged by a physical attack, with its opponents' moves always absorbed by its odd body type. Despite being quite powerful and good in battle, it has only ever defeated one opponent, Bellsprout (it was put to sleep by Victreebel and knocked out against Gary without a win).

==Moves used==

[[File:Ash Muk EToP.png|150px|thumb|right|Ash's Muk in The Electric Tale of Pikachu]]
===In The Electric Tale of Pikachu manga===
[[Ash Ketchum (EToP)|Ash]] caught Muk off-screen in [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]] manga. He later used it as his last Pokémon is his battle against [[Jeanette Fisher|Jeanette]] in ''[[ET12|Welcome to the Big Leagues]]''. Jeanette's {{p|Bellsprout}} had no chances of using its techniques against Muk's slimy body, and Ash won the battle.

==Trivia==
* Muk is Ash's only Pokémon in the {{egg|Amorphous}} Egg Group.
* In {{game|Yellow}}, a game highly based on the anime, Muk can be found while walking in the [[Power Plant]], making a direct reference to Ash's Muk, which was also found in a power plant.
* Muk is Ash's only fully evolved Pokémon to know less than four moves.
* Muk is Ash's first Pokémon, aside from Pikachu, to appear at least once in every series.

'''Celebi''' (Japanese: '''セレビィ''' ''Celebi'') was a main character in ''[[M04|Celebi: Voice of the Forest]]''.

==History==
{{spoilers}}
[[Image:Dark Celebi.png|275px|thumb|left|Dark Celebi]]
[[Image:Wooden Celebi.png|250px|thumb|Celebi's wooden construct, in the image of a dark, mutated Celebi]]
While trying to escape from a [[Pokémon Hunter]], Celebi stumbled across [[Sam]], who was out looking for Pokémon. Just as the hunter was about to capture the Pokémon, it time traveled with Samuel Oak and ended up in the time of {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}}.

However, there was still danger in the present, this time from a [[Team Rocket]] member known as the [[Iron-Masked Marauder]]. Using a [[Dark Ball]], the Iron-Masked Marauder captured Celebi to use for his own evil plans. With the help of Ash and the others, Celebi was set free from the Iron-Masked Marauder. However, it looked very grim for Celebi, who wasn't able to heal itself in the lake where it had healed before because the lake was too polluted.

Fortunately, many other Celebi from the past and future came to heal their friend. Once Celebi was healed, it was able to go back to the past and take Sammy with it.

In ''[[The Mastermind of Mirage Pokémon]]'', it was seen in Pikachu's memories. It also made a cameo in the beginning of ''[[M10|The Rise of Darkrai]]''.

==Personality and Characteristics==
Celebi is a very playful Pokémon, as it is often seen playing around with {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}}. However, this playful and kind personality is masked after Celebi is captured in a {{Ball|Dark}} by the [[Iron Masked Marauder]]. Instead of being it's usual playful self, Celebi becomes a dark, hateful Pokémon. This behavior results in the creation of a giant Celebi out of surrounding branches and a massive attack on the forest it once called home. This behavior remained until Ash, [[Sam|Sammy]], and [[Suicune (M04)|Suicune]] managed to restore Celebi's memories and it's old personality. After it is freed from the Iron Masked Marauder, Celebi retains none of it's previous nasty and dark behavior. Celebi is also very helpful and spirited, however, due to this, it was an easy subject to the Iron Masked Marauder's plans. It's evil behavior was not natural and was a result of being captured in a Dark Ball.

'''Ash's Charizard''' (Japanese: '''サトシのリザードン''' ''Satoshi's Lizardon'') was the fifth {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} acquired by [[Ash Ketchum]] in the [[Kanto]] region.

==History==
===Kanto===
====With Damian====
[[File:Damian Charmander.png|thumb|200px|left|With Damian]]
Charmander originally belonged to a braggart Trainer named [[Damian]]. However, in ''[[EP011|Charmander - The Stray Pokémon]]'', Damian grew tired of Charmander being weak and abandoned it, leaving it on a rocky outcrop and telling it that he would come back later. Charmander's health deteriorated, but it was able to resist capture by {{Ash}} twice before explaining to {{AP|Pikachu}} that it was waiting for Damian. Later, Ash met Damian and learned of his plans that he would never return for it. Outraged but mostly concerned for Charmander, who was now stuck out in the rain loyally awaiting Damian, {{an|Brock}}, Ash and {{an|Misty}} rushed to its rescue, with Brock carrying it to the [[Pokémon Center]] whilst Ash sheltered the little remaining tail flame with his coat.

Charmander recovered in ER and promptly left the Pokémon Center to resume its wait for Damian. However, it came across {{TRT}}, who had stolen Pikachu. Charmander ordered them to return Pikachu, and when they ignored it, it blasted them with {{m|Flamethrower}} to send them running away, leaving behind Pikachu. Ash invited Charmander to join them, but Damian turned up with a bunch of Poké Balls and said that he had abandoned Charmander on purpose in order to allow it to toughen up. Damian throws a Poké Ball at it but the lizard Pokémon deflected the Ball. Charmander, having seen Damian's character, staunchly refused and when Damian threatened to crush it with all of his other Pokémon, it attacked Damian with a Flamethrower attack alongside Pikachu. Damian fled and Charmander happily joined Ash's team.

====With Ash====
[[File:Ash Charmander.png|thumb|240px|right|As a Charmander]]
Charmander immediately became one of Ash's main Pokémon, being used in the [[EP012|very next episode]] as a torch to help Ash through the caves. Also, it ganged up with a group of other Charmander on the [[St. Anne]] in ''[[EP015|Battle Aboard the St. Anne]]'' to repel {{tc|Team Rocket Grunt}}s. In ''[[EP023|The Tower of Terror]]'', Ash sent it out to lead the way through the haunted tower, but was terrified of the {{type|Ghost|ghosts}} and Ash recalled it after it became paralyzed by {{TP|Sabrina|Haunter}}'s {{m|Lick}}.

In ''[[EP025|Primeape Goes Bananas]]'', Charmander battled a berserk {{AP|Primeape}} which it finally subdued after learning {{m|Rage}}, which vastly increased its firepower and allowed it to knock Primeape out with a devastating Flamethrower. Charmander made its Gym Battle debut in [[EP026|the next episode]], where it defeated [[Erika]]'s {{p|Weepinbell}} after burning {{m|Razor Leaf}} and then striking a powerful {{m|Skull Bash}}. However, the pure stench emitting from her {{p|Gloom}} caused Charmander to choke and faint.

In ''[[EP032|The Ninja Poké-Showdown]]'', Charmander battled [[Koga]]'s {{p|Venomoth}} briefly before their match was interrupted by Team Rocket. For the official Gym battle, Charmander went up against [[Koga's Golbat]] and defeated it with {{m|Ember}} and {{m|Fire Spin}}. Charmander's power continued to grow, easily defeating a {{p|Golem}} owned by a biker named [[Chopper]], despite the type disadvantage in ''[[EP036|The Bike Bridge Gang]]''. The flames from Charmander's attack were so powerful that Golem continued to burn and the heat went through the Poké Ball.

The rise in battle experience reached its peak in ''[[EP043|March of the Exeggutor Squad]]'', where it single-handedly stopped a large number of rampaging {{p|Exeggutor}}. Subsequently, Charmander [[Evolution|evolved]] into {{p|Charmeleon}}.

In ''[[EP044|The Problem with Paras]]'', it was revealed that Charmeleon had lost its [[obedience]] to Ash, attacking a {{p|Paras}} when Ash was trying to deliberately lose in order to help Paras evolve. [[Cassandra]]'s grandmother explained that Charmeleon's skill level had exceeded Ash's, and therefore it didn't respect him. Ironically a rampaging Charmeleon was stopped when Paras, desperately trying to avoid punishment, jabbed at it with a claw. After evolving into {{p|Parasect}}, it put Charmeleon to sleep with {{m|Spore}} and allowed Ash to recall it. Cassandra's grandmother warned Ash that he needed to learn to control Charmeleon.
[[File:Ash Charmeleon.png|thumb|240px|left|As a {{p|Charmeleon}}]]
Ash stopped using his disobedient Charmeleon, but tried again in ''[[EP046|Attack of the Prehistoric Pokémon]]'' to repel wild Fossil Pokémon, which it ignored to do. When an {{p|Aerodactyl}} swooped past knocking Charmeleon over, Charmeleon proudly fought back but was unable to do anything. It then jumped up and grabbed the escaping Aerodactyl's tail and followed it into the open air, but was shaken off. Upset, Charmeleon evolved into {{p|Charizard}} and flew after Aerodactyl to avenge its injured pride. It managed to catch Ash and put him on the ground, but unfortunately, retained its disobedience.

Charizard's disloyalty began to cost Ash in the business end of his journey, throwing away a round with [[Blaine]] in ''[[EP058|Riddle Me This]]'', as Charizard simply loafed off and allowed {{p|Rhydon}} an easy win with {{m|Horn Drill}}. In [[EP059|the next episode]], Charizard refused to help dam the volcano, but changed its mind after seeing Blaine's powerful {{TP|Blaine|Magmar}} contributing. After working together, the duo were left with a burning desire to test each others strength. Blaine permitted a battle at the peak of the volcano, and the two seem evenly matched. Magmar drops Charizard into the lava, but Charizard regains the upper hand by dazing Magmar with an aerial submission and then knocking it out with its powerful {{m|Seismic Toss}}.
[[File:Ash Charizard newly evolved.png|thumb|240px|right|As a newly evolved {{p|Charizard}}]]
In ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'', Charizard played a significant role. It blatantly refused to listen to Ash, but took up the battle against {{an|Mewtwo}}'s cloned Charizard. It lasted longer than Bruteroot or Shellshocker had, but was ultimately defeated by being slammed into the ground. It was captured in a Clone Ball, much to Ash's anguish. Ash then helped to release Charizard and the others, and it ran back to continue fighting its clone. When Ash was petrified by Mewtwo and {{an|Mew}}, Charizard wept for its fallen master's sacrifice, its tears helping to regenerate him. Once things were back to normal, Charizard's memory was erased and it went back to its blatant disobedience.

Charizard's disloyalty cost Ash greatly in the battle against [[Ritchie]] in ''[[EP079|Friend and Foe Alike]]''. Down to one Pokémon, Ash called Charizard into battle against [[Zippo]], and surprisingly decided to battle and force Zippo to flee from a far superior Flamethrower, causing Ritchie to concede the round. However, when [[Sparky]] came out, Charizard condescendingly stomped the ground and flapped his wings against the little Pikachu, before going to sleep, refusing to battle. Ash lost the round and Ritchie advanced onto the next round.

===Orange Islands===
Ash took Charizard with him to the Orange Islands, despite its refusal to obey him. Noticeably Ash had stopped trying to use it in battles, although in the episode ''[[EP093|Navel Maneuvers]]'', Charizard, {{AP|Pikachu}} and Bulbasaur were used in the second round of the match between Ash and [[Danny]]. Charizard was initially unwilling to participate, and Danny nearly won. However, Charizard unwillingly helped when it tried to use {{m|Flamethrower}} on Ash but missed and carved an ice pillar into a sled. This meant Ash won the round and was able to continue the match.

In ''[[EP098|A Way Off Day Off]]'', although refusing to listen to Ash, it recognized the wisdom and formidable experience that [[Tracey's Scyther]] had, and the two teamed up to defeat Team Rocket. Scyther was the only one of any of the group whom Charizard respected.

Charizard continued to go off on its own agenda during battles, such as in ''[[EP099|The Mandarin Island Miss Match]]''. Charizard took down a boy's {{p|Tauros}} with a single attack, before flying away and attempting to burn everything. Ash was unable to recall him and only the intervention of [[Lorelei|Prima]] and her {{p|Slowbro}} using {{m|Disable}} allowed Ash to recall it.

[[File:Ash Charizard frozen.png|thumb|240px|left|Being taken care of by Ash]]
In ''[[EP105|Charizard Chills]]'', Charizard battled [[Tad]]'s {{p|Poliwrath}}. It blatantly refused to listen to Ash's commands, continuing to try Flamethrowers despite them having no effect on Poliwrath. Tad and Poliwrath shrugged all of them off until Poliwrath responded with a Water Gun that nearly doused the flame on Charizard's tail. It was then encased in ice by Poliwrath's {{m|Ice Beam}}, much to Ash's horror. Ash managed to smash the ice encasing Charizard's head, and Tad walked away scornfully, telling Ash that they would have a rematch when he could control Charizard.

Ash lit a fire and thawed Charizard out, before rubbing Charizard all over to help it regain its body heat. Pikachu pointed out that Ash's hands were rubbed raw, but Ash replied that he didn't mind, Charizard's flame was so small that Ash redoubled his efforts. Charizard woke up in a panic and tried to attack, but it was so cold that it couldn't produce a flame and passed out again. Misty provided a blanket and Tracey kept the fires up whilst Pikachu watched the flame, but Ash himself worked throughout the entire night to help Charizard recover.

The selfless act reminded Charizard of everything Ash had done for it since it was a Charmander. By morning, Charizard's respect for and loyalty to Ash had returned, and it helped Ash rescue Pikachu from Team Rocket. Ash and Pikachu were knocked senseless during the rescue, and Charizard became so incensed it learned {{m|Dragon Rage}}. In a rematch with Tad and Poliwrath, Charizard learned to dodge Ice Beam and knocked Poliwrath into the air, before defeating it with Seismic Toss.

It participated in Ash's Gym battle against [[Luana]] in ''[[EP108|Double Trouble]]''. It fought Luana's {{p|Alakazam}} and {{p|Marowak}} alongside Ash's Pikachu in the series' first [[Double Battle]]. The two Pokémon initially had trouble collaborating, but eventually managed to work together: Pikachu helped to free Charizard from Alakazam's {{m|Psychic}} attack and Charizard caught Pikachu after it was hit by Marowak's {{m|Body Slam}} attack. Charizard's skillful flying caused Marowak and Alakazam to knock each other out, giving Ash the Jade Star Badge.

In ''[[M02|The Power of One]]'', Charizard helped Ash complete his dangerous journey to Ice Island. It used its powerful Flamethrower to repel an attack from {{an|Moltres}}, but Ash recalled it when his sleigh was destroyed and a tidal wave came crashing down.

Charizard was also used in Ash's Orange League battle against {{OBP|Drake|Orange League}} in ''[[EP112|Enter the Dragonite]]''. Charizard defeated Drake's {{p|Electabuzz}} by blocking its electricity with {{m|Fire Spin}} and the knocking it out with Seismic Toss. It also fought {{TP|Drake|Dragonite}}, but was hit by a powerful {{m|Water Gun}} and then {{m|slam}}med into the ground. After a clash of Dragon Rages, Charizard fainted, but its attacks had begun to wear Dragonite down, paving the way for Pikachu to finish it off and give Ash victory. Charizard was inducted into the Orange Islands Hall of Fame with Ash's other Pokémon.

===Johto===
Charizard also accompanied Ash on his journey to the Johto region, although it became apparent that it was unfairly superior to most of Ash's early competition. This was shown especially in ''[[EP118|The Double Trouble Header]]'', where {{an|Casey}}'s {{p|Pidgey}} was beaten by Charizard exhaling and {{p|Rattata}} was defeated merely by bouncing of Charizard's stomach. A single Flamethrower beat {{TP|Casey|Chikorita}} and allowed Charizard to win in the sweep, despite the disapproval of Misty and Brock. Team Rocket later capitulated on Casey's frustration, calling Charizard an illegal choice by Ash.

Charizard was used to weaken and help Ash capture a {{p|Chikorita}} in ''[[EP126|The Chikorita Rescue]]''. His massive size compared to it came into effect when Chikorita ran toward him and tried to attack, Charizard responding by placing his foot out and blowing a small puff of fire after being instructed by Ash to only weaken it. Charizard's puff of fire ended up on Chikorita's single leaf and caused it to run around for a short amount of time before using {{m|Vine Whip}} to attack Charizard. Charizard was recalled by Ash after he and Chikorita fell into a large canvas of rocks.

It participated in Ash's first Johto Gym battle against [[Falkner]], where it battled Falkner's {{p|Pidgeot}}. Due to the latter's impressive {{stat|Speed}}, Charizard was put on the back foot, with Pidgeot's {{m|Whirlwind}} reflecting its Flamethrower back onto it. It was then knocked back down by a combination of {{m|Wing Attack}} and {{m|Quick Attack}}. Falkner tells Ash to surrender but Ash refuses and Charizard gains the strength to fight back and fly above Quick Attack. Charizard then baited Pidgeot, spinning around in midair when Pidgeot flew behind it and hitting it with Fire Spin, before seizing it and hurling it into the ground with Seismic Toss. Pidgeot was knocked out and Ash won the Zephyr Badge.

In ''[[EP134|Charizard's Burning Ambitions]]'', Misty criticized Ash for using Charizard too often against fresh young Trainers, making him unbeatable but in an unfair way. Ash then met {{Jo|Liza}}, who taught Ash and Charizard how to fly together. After arriving in the [[Charicific Valley]], Charizard was humiliated by Liza's insult and proudly tried to show off its power, but was shown to be smaller and weaker than the wild Charizard who lived there. Charizard continued to pick fights and got beaten until Liza locked them out of the Valley, having [[Charla]] throw Charizard into the lake and telling it and Ash to stay away until they had trained and reflected. Team Rocket sympathized with Charizard and helped it to stay awake in the lake, as well as making a false attempt to break into the Valley, allowing Charizard to defeat them and win acclaim from Liza, Charla and the wild Charizard.

Facing an emotional battle, Ash told Charizard that he didn't want a weakling on his team and he would be fine without it, forcing Charizard to stay at the Valley to train and become more powerful. He then ran away from the Valley, knowing that if he stopped he would not be able to say goodbye. Pikachu wished Charizard well and followed Ash, leaving its long lasting teammate behind.

In ''[[M03|Spell of the Unown]]'', Charizard witnessed the plight of [[Greenfield]] on Liza's TV and immediately left Charicific Valley to come to Ash's aid. It arrived just in time to catch Ash as he was blasted off the cliff by {{OBP|Entei|M03}}. Charizard put up a fight against Entei and was nearly killed, but seeing the bond between Ash and Charizard changed [[Molly Hale]]'s heart and she ordered Entei to stop fighting. Charizard then helped Pikachu and Entei to break through the Unown's forcefield and to break the spell. At the end of the movie, Charizard returned to the Valley.
[[File:Valleyshipping.png|thumb|220px|right|With Charla]]
While there, it took the role of bodyguard for Liza's Charizard, [[Charla]], and the two seem to have struck up a [[ValleyShipping|romantic relationship]]. Liza occasionally visits the [[Dragon's Den|Dragon's Valley]] in [[Blackthorn City]] alongside the two Charizard. One such visit was in ''[[EP253|Great Bowls of Fire!]]'', which coincidentally occurred when Ash was there for his final [[Johto]] Gym battle. Charizard helped Ash, Clair, Pikachu and {{TP|Clair|Dragonair}} calm the wild {{p|Dragonite}} that was rampaging in the Dragon Holy Land.

In ''[[EP254|Better Eight Than Never]]'', Charizard battled against Clair's Dragonair in his rematch with her by causing the water in the Gym's pool to evaporate with its {{m|Flamethrower}} and {{m|Fire Spin}}, thus depriving Dragonair of its protection. It then caught Dragonair with Seismic Toss and used Fire Spin to create a flaming twister to wear down Dragonair's defenses before it hit the ground and was knocked out. Ash surprised Liza by sending it back for training, knowing that Charizard still has a lot to learn.

Ash later used Charizard in the [[Silver Conference]] during his fight against [[Gary Oak]] in ''[[EP270|Can't Beat the Heat!]]'', as Brock had made a late night call to Liza requesting Charizard for the battle. [[Gary's Blastoise]] and {{p|Scizor}} cut Ash's team down to only Charizard who had to fight three opponents single-handedly. It managed to match Scizor's speed and took advantage of its significant type advantage, blasting Scizor with Flamethrower. Despite Gary's Golem's weight preventing Charizard from using its Seismic Toss, Charizard overcame it with a powerful Dragon Rage. Charizard struggled against Blastoise, as it had supreme defensive capabilities and could keep Charizard at bay with Hydro Pump. Thinking outside the square, Charizard superheated the field and forced Blastoise to cool the molten rock. This created a huge steam cloud and allowed Charizard to seize Blastoise at close range. Blastoise could still use {{m|Withdraw}} to dodge Dragon Rage, so Charizard hurled Blastoise into the ground with Seismic Toss, taking Blastoise out and leaving Ash as the winner.

Charizard was then used in Ash's fight against {{jo|Harrison}}, where it came out against [[Harrison's Blaziken]]. Charizard's aerial advantage was negated by Blaziken's powerful legs and ability to maneuver in midair. Each Pokémon hit hard blows on the other, and their Flamethrowers were shown to be equal in power. Blaziken even managed to get up after a devastating Seismic Toss, whilst Charizard took a {{m|Blaze Kick}} to the neck and continued on. A fiery clash between Flamethrower and Dragon Rage knocked both Pokémon down, but only Blaziken could get up, eliminating Ash from the tournament.

Charizard once again returned to Charicific Valley, and it was revealed that it had injured Blaziken so badly that Harrison had to rest it in the next round, contributing to his loss.

===Kanto Battle Frontier===
[[File:Ash and Charizard.png|thumb|220px|Ash and his Charizard]]
In ''[[AG136|The Symbol Life]]'', it returned for Ash's first {{Gdis|Battle Frontier|III}} battle, where it took on [[Noland's Articuno]] at the {{DL|Battle Frontier (Generation III)|Battle Factory}}. Ash and Charizard flew together, where Charizard demonstrated a far improved {{m|Flamethrower}} and that it had learned {{m|DragonBreath}}. In battle it showed that it was a match even for the legendary Pokémon, using Flamethrower to burn through {{m|Ice Beam}} and strike Articuno. However, Articuno did not take damage from Flamethrower or DragonBreath, flattening Charizard by blinding it with {{m|Mist}} and then knocking it to the ground with {{m|Steel Wing}}. Articuno then inflicted serious damage with {{m|Water Pulse}} and froze Charizard's wing tip, crippling its movements. Finally, Charizard used {{m|Overheat}}, which it had just learned, to melt the ice, then it caught Articuno as it tried to use {{m|Steel Wing}}; before striking with a Seismic Toss. Charizard collapsed, but managed to get up just as Articuno passed out, giving Ash and Charizard the victory.

Charizard also battled alongside Squirtle, Bulbasaur, and Pikachu in a four-on-four battle against {{FB|Pyramid King|Brandon}}'s Pokémon in ''[[AG189|Gathering the Gang of Four!]]''. It went up against {{p|Dusclops}}. Charizard had been training since its battle with Articuno and learned {{m|Steel Wing}}, but was put on the back foot when Dusclops uses {{m|Confuse Ray}} and {{m|Mean Look}}, forcing Charizard to keep battling in its baffled state, all the while taking damage from {{m|Will-O-Wisp}}. Finally Charizard snapped out of confusion and attacked with DragonBreath, wearing both Pokémon down. However, an attempt to use Seismic Toss to finish the match costs Ash dearly, as the {{type|Ghost}} simply dissipated and re-emerged safely at a distance, where a single {{m|Shadow Punch}} took Charizard out and put Ash at a supreme disadvantage. However, Squirtle, Pikachu and Bulbasaur managed to win the battle and the Symbol. After that, Charizard returned to Charicific Valley.

===Unova===
In [[BW116]], Ash and his friends visited a Kanto-based festival, where one of the presentations featured the local [[starter Pokémon]], involving a live action show with a Charmander. This made Ash remember his own Charmander, prompting him to tell the story how he got his Charmander, and how it eventually became Charizard and won many battles with him, eventually leaving for training. Interested by the idea of seeing his old friend again, Ash called Professor Oak, who, in exchange for [[Ash's Unfezant]], sent Charizard over to him. While being introduced to all of the gang's new Pokémon, Charizard almost immediately started a fiery rivalry with [[Iris's Dragonite]], encouraging Ash and {{an|Iris}} to have a battle with their Pokémon. During the battle, Charizard was shown to have learned {{m|Wing Attack}}, {{m|Slash}}, and {{m|Dragon Tail}}. After a while, the battle was called off by {{an|N}}. Ash then also corrected Iris's misconception that Charizard would be a {{type|Dragon}}, saying that it is actually {{2t|Fire|Flying}}, much to Iris's shocking surprise.

==Personality and characteristics==
{{bulbanews|Personality & Development: Ash's Charizard}}
The emotional turmoil of being abandoned by Damian defined Ash's Charizard whilst it was a Charmander. Despite the scorn it received from Damian, it remained loyal to him, convinced that it had a good relationship where in fact none existed. Even when made to sit through a rain storm in hunger and fatigue and Ash and Brock have shown true kindness towards it, loyalty never wavered and Charmander almost lost its life doing so. Only a violent confrontation revealed to it the unhealthy nature of his and Damian's relationship. Charmander struggled with this abandonment, as seen in ''[[EP017|Island of the Giant Pokémon]]'', it became discouraged when {{AP|Bulbasaur}} suggested that Ash had abandoned them all.

[[File:Ash Charizard disobedience.png|thumb|240px|left|Refusing to battle against [[Sparky]]]]
Despite being one of Ash's most often used Pokémon, Charmander's evolution saw Charmeleon grow distant from Ash, scorning all of its former friends and seeking power alone. Charmeleon had grown to become like Damian, obsessed with power and reputation whilst ignoring the value of friendship, loyalty and kindness. Charmeleon's battle with {{p|Aerodactyl}} was purely based on a bruised ego, just as Charizard's later battles with {{TP|Blaine|Magmar}}, [[Zippo]] and the clone Charizard were. Despite this, however, it did, to an extremely small extent, retain some respect and loyalty to its master, made especially apparent when Ash ended up killed trying to stop Mew and Mewtwo's battle, where it was seen weeping for Ash before its tears revived him.

Once Ash made the selfless act to save Charizard from freezing, Charizard finally shook off the poisonous personality traits left by Damian and regained full loyalty to Ash. Its ability to work as part of a team was hampered but when working together with {{AP|Pikachu}} to defeat [[Luana]], it finally managed to overcome that difficulty. However, Charizard maintained the rebellious Flamethrower attacks as a sign of affection for his master and whilst Charizard was loyal, its love of power and reputation remained. This was shown significantly in its departing episode, where it brashly challenged each of the wild Charizard at Charicific Valley even though it was defeated every time.

Ash's Charizard is universally accepted to be one of his most powerful Pokémon. Most of Ash's significant victories were thanks to Charizard - his victories over [[Koga]], Blaine, [[Danny]], Falkner, Gary, and [[Noland's Articuno]] would all have been impossible without Charizard. Its loyalty to Ash stemmed so far that it was willing to fly all the way to Greenfield just in time to save Ash from falling to certain death, and put its life on the line to save the day.

[[File:Ash Charmander EToP.png|thumb|140px|right|As a Charmander]]
[[File:Ash Charizard EToP.png|thumb|230px|left|Ash's Charizard in The Electric Tale of Pikachu]]
[[Ash Ketchum (EToP)|Ash]]'s Charizard makes a few appearances in the {{pkmn|manga}} series [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]]; however the circumstances of its capture seem to differ in this series. While [[Damian]] appears in ''[[ET07|Pikachu's Excellent Adventure]]'', he was separated from his Charmander because he was injured, not because he abandoned it. At the end of the chapter, the two reunite in the [[Hidden Village]].

Despite this difference, Ash is still seen owning a Charmander, which first appears in ''[[ET08|You Gotta Have Friends]]''. Charmander's capture is not shown in the manga, instead, it is explained that "Ash has been busy since the last comic!" when Charmander first appears from its [[Poké Ball]]. Charmander is first seen when a lonely Ash decides to play with his other Pokémon while Pikachu is off playing with a group of Pikachu. Charmander simply sets Ash on fire while his {{p|Oddish}} paralyzes him with {{m|Stun Spore}}.

Later, at the 88th Pokémon League, Ash presents his Charmander, now fully evolved into a Charizard, to Brock and Misty. Despite the fact that Ash wanted to use Charizard as a secret weapon, Charizard refuses to listen to him unless he holds a special flare that burns with the fire of a {{p|Moltres}}. Due to the fact that the flare burns out quickly and Ash could lose points for using a prop, he decides to not use it and use his other Pokémon instead.

[[File:Ash Charizard violent.png|thumb|230px|right|Ash's Charizard violently attacking Ritchie's Charley]]
In the fifth round of the Pokémon League, Ash sends out Charizard as third and last Pokémon in his match against Ritchie. Ritchie counters with his own Charizard, named [[Zippo|Charley]]. Though evenly matched at first, Charizard goes into a violent frenzy and mercilessly starts scratching, biting, and burning Charley. Ash attempts to stop this mauling with his flare but Charizard ignores it and continues to attack Charley, heavily injuring it and splattering its blood everywhere.

Ash decides to return Charizard to its Poké Ball, forfeiting the match and making Ritchie the winner in the process. Overwhelmed with guilt, Ash leaves the arena and apologizes to Ritchie who states that it's alright and that his Charley will be fine after a trip to the Pokémon Center.

Charizard appeared again in ''[[ET16|You Bet Your Wife]]'' where Ash decided to use it in a dance competition in his Gym battle against [[Rudy]]. After flying around in circles, Charizard set Ash aflame as it did in its first appearance.

Charizard appeared one last time in ''[[ET18|Pikachu's Plan]]'' where it was used to battle [[Drake (Orange League)|Drake]] in the [[Orange League]] finals. Charizard, now listening to Ash perfectly, battles against [[Drake's Dragonite]]. Despite being much larger and putting up a good fight, Charizard is eventually defeated, leaving Ash with only Pikachu left to use.

==Trivia==
[[File:Ash Charizard greeting.png|240px|thumb|Charizard greeting Ash with {{m|Flamethrower}}]]
* Out of all Pokémon in the anime, Charizard has used the most moves, a total of 17 (18 if the unused {{m|Mega Punch}} is included).
* During ''[[EP133|Tanks a Lot!]]'', Brock mentioned that Charizard was male when saying that Charizard could use ''his'' {{m|Flamethrower}} to destroy the Arbo-Tank, but since this only occurred in the dub it is uncertain how dependable this information is. Further hints to Charizard's gender were applied with the introduction of [[Charla]].
* Charizard was the first of Ash's starter Pokémon to evolve to its final stage.
* After it defeated Noland's Articuno, Charizard became the first Pokémon in the {{pkmn|anime}} to have defeated a [[legendary Pokémon]].
* Currently, Charizard is the only Pokémon Ash has had that refused to obey him after evolving. Every other Pokémon obeyed him without question following their evolutions. All others that had this trait, [[Dawn's Mamoswine]] and [[Iris's Excadrill]], belong to another Trainer.
* Until the episode ''[[EP105|Charizard Chills]]'', Charizard only seemed to obey Ash when fighting another Fire-type Pokémon as he was obedient against Blaine's Magmar, Mewtwo's cloned Charizard and [[Zippo]].
* The {{series|Diamond & Pearl}} is the only series so far in which Charizard did not make an appearance.
* It has become a running gag in the anime that whenever Charizard returns to Ash, it greets him by scorching him with its Flamethrower.

'''Arceus''' (Japanese: '''アルセウス''' ''Arceus'') is a major character and one of the main antagonists in ''[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]''.

==History==
{{spoilers}}
[[File:Arceus Ghost Type.png|250px|thumb|left|Arceus in {{type|Ghost}} form]]
Arceus made its debut in ''Arceus and the Jewel of Life''. Thousands of years ago in the past, when the world was threatened by a meteor, Arceus summoned all of its power and tackled the massive rock, destroying it. However, in the process Arceus lost the sixteen [[Plates]] that gave it life and began to die. At this time [[Damos]] found the dying Pokémon and then found one of the missing Plates and returned it, giving Arceus strength to pull back the others and thus fully recover. In gratitude for Damos's actions, Arceus detached five of its Plates and formed the [[Jewel of Life]], which it loaned to him in order to make the desolate wasteland of [[Michina Town]] rich and fertile.

Arceus did, however, stipulate that the Jewel of Life had to be returned. The date was the next solar eclipse - an event that was a harbinger of Arceus's appearance - but when Arceus appeared to reclaim the Jewel, Damos viciously attacked it with the intent to kill, much to its abject shock. Arceus managed to fight off the attack and counter, killing Damos, then it went into a deep sleep, vowing to {{m|Judgment|judge}} humanity when it next appeared.

In the present day, Arceus imminent awakening caused distortions in the Spatial and Temporal dimensions. Therefore, Dialga and Palkia, believing that the other had invaded its territory, battled over [[Alamos Town]].

Its next appearance came in the era of {{Ash}} and [[Ash's friends|his friends]], in which it appeared in Michina Town and began passing down its Judgment to destroy the area. [[Sheena]] attempted to return the Jewel of Life in this era but inadvertently gave it a fake (which had been created to further prevent it from retaking the real Jewel), making it even angrier. When the [[creation trio]] appeared to protect the world from Arceus, {{mov|Palkia}} restrained it while {{mov|Dialga}} sent the heroes back in time to Damos's betrayal.
[[File:Arceus Plates.png|250px|thumb|right|Arceus's elemental plates (5 are missing)]]
In the ancient past the group discovered that Damos was controlled by another man, [[Marcus]], who had grown bitter with his belief that returning the Jewel of Life to Arceus would result in Michina Town once again becoming desolate and wished to destroy it to prevent such events. By manipulating Sheena, Marcus nearly succeeded in killing Arceus and permanently altering the fabric of space-time (nearly destroying Ash and all the other heroes except Damos in the process). Fortunately, Damos managed to reach the last bit of life in Arceus's heart, giving it enough strength to re-absorb the Jewel of Life from Ash, saving it from certain death. It then revived the heroes, and they returned to the future. Although Arceus was still furious when they returned, the past finally caught up with the present, and it remembered Ash's role in saving its life, thus soothing its rage and, as it later remarked, making it feel part of the world Ash and the others lived in for the "first time".

==Personality and characteristics==
Arceus was a trusting Pokémon to any individual who was willing to join forces with it, as demonstrated with [[Damos]]. However, after betraying Arceus when he was hypnotized by [[Marcus]], Arceus changed its way and wanted to work alone. It became that way during the present until {{Ash}} and {{ashfr|the others}} went back in time to stop Marcus. With the past altered, Damos managed to bond with Arceus and Ash when they both tried to return the Jewel of Life. As soon as Ash and the others went back in their own time, Arceus became friendly towards Ash, {{AP|Pikachu}} and everyone else due to their past being altered.

==Trivia==
*Arceus' elemental plates appear as a certain color and are brick-shaped in the games, but in the movie, they are coffin-shaped and glow in rainbow colors. However, in the episode ''[[DP060|Journey to the Unown!]]'', they appear as in the games.
*According to ADR Director [[Tom Wayland]], Arceus was originally going to be voiced by actor Vincent D'Onofrio of ''Full Metal Jacket'' and ''Men In Black'' fame. Unfortunately, before his recording session, there were difficulties with D'Onofrio's agent and he was unable to record for the Movie. After re-auditioning, [[Tom Wayland]] himself was chosen to voice Arceus instead.

'''Ash's Charizard''' (Japanese: '''サトシのリザードン''' ''Satoshi's Lizardon'') was the fifth {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} acquired by [[Ash Ketchum]] in the [[Kanto]] region.

==History==
===Kanto===
====With Damian====
[[File:Damian Charmander.png|thumb|200px|left|With Damian]]
Charmander originally belonged to a braggart Trainer named [[Damian]]. However, in ''[[EP011|Charmander - The Stray Pokémon]]'', Damian grew tired of Charmander being weak and abandoned it, leaving it on a rocky outcrop and telling it that he would come back later. Charmander's health deteriorated, but it was able to resist capture by {{Ash}} twice before explaining to {{AP|Pikachu}} that it was waiting for Damian. Later, Ash met Damian and learned of his plans that he would never return for it. Outraged but mostly concerned for Charmander, who was now stuck out in the rain loyally awaiting Damian, {{an|Brock}}, Ash and {{an|Misty}} rushed to its rescue, with Brock carrying it to the [[Pokémon Center]] whilst Ash sheltered the little remaining tail flame with his coat.

Charmander recovered in ER and promptly left the Pokémon Center to resume its wait for Damian. However, it came across {{TRT}}, who had stolen Pikachu. Charmander ordered them to return Pikachu, and when they ignored it, it blasted them with {{m|Flamethrower}} to send them running away, leaving behind Pikachu. Ash invited Charmander to join them, but Damian turned up with a bunch of Poké Balls and said that he had abandoned Charmander on purpose in order to allow it to toughen up. Damian throws a Poké Ball at it but the lizard Pokémon deflected the Ball. Charmander, having seen Damian's character, staunchly refused and when Damian threatened to crush it with all of his other Pokémon, it attacked Damian with a Flamethrower attack alongside Pikachu. Damian fled and Charmander happily joined Ash's team.

====With Ash====
[[File:Ash Charmander.png|thumb|240px|right|As a Charmander]]
Charmander immediately became one of Ash's main Pokémon, being used in the [[EP012|very next episode]] as a torch to help Ash through the caves. Also, it ganged up with a group of other Charmander on the [[St. Anne]] in ''[[EP015|Battle Aboard the St. Anne]]'' to repel {{tc|Team Rocket Grunt}}s. In ''[[EP023|The Tower of Terror]]'', Ash sent it out to lead the way through the haunted tower, but was terrified of the {{type|Ghost|ghosts}} and Ash recalled it after it became paralyzed by {{TP|Sabrina|Haunter}}'s {{m|Lick}}.

In ''[[EP025|Primeape Goes Bananas]]'', Charmander battled a berserk {{AP|Primeape}} which it finally subdued after learning {{m|Rage}}, which vastly increased its firepower and allowed it to knock Primeape out with a devastating Flamethrower. Charmander made its Gym Battle debut in [[EP026|the next episode]], where it defeated [[Erika]]'s {{p|Weepinbell}} after burning {{m|Razor Leaf}} and then striking a powerful {{m|Skull Bash}}. However, the pure stench emitting from her {{p|Gloom}} caused Charmander to choke and faint.

In ''[[EP032|The Ninja Poké-Showdown]]'', Charmander battled [[Koga]]'s {{p|Venomoth}} briefly before their match was interrupted by Team Rocket. For the official Gym battle, Charmander went up against [[Koga's Golbat]] and defeated it with {{m|Ember}} and {{m|Fire Spin}}. Charmander's power continued to grow, easily defeating a {{p|Golem}} owned by a biker named [[Chopper]], despite the type disadvantage in ''[[EP036|The Bike Bridge Gang]]''. The flames from Charmander's attack were so powerful that Golem continued to burn and the heat went through the Poké Ball.

The rise in battle experience reached its peak in ''[[EP043|March of the Exeggutor Squad]]'', where it single-handedly stopped a large number of rampaging {{p|Exeggutor}}. Subsequently, Charmander [[Evolution|evolved]] into {{p|Charmeleon}}.

In ''[[EP044|The Problem with Paras]]'', it was revealed that Charmeleon had lost its [[obedience]] to Ash, attacking a {{p|Paras}} when Ash was trying to deliberately lose in order to help {{p|Paras}} evolve. [[Cassandra]]'s grandmother explained that Charmeleon's skill level had exceeded Ash's, and therefore it didn't respect him. Ironically a rampaging Charmeleon was stopped when Paras, desperately trying to avoid punishment, jabbed at it with a claw. After evolving into {{p|Parasect}}, it put Charmeleon to sleep with {{m|Spore}} and allowed Ash to recall it. Cassandra's grandmother warned Ash that he needed to learn to control Charmeleon.
[[File:Ash Charmeleon.png|thumb|240px|left|As a {{p|Charmeleon}}]]
Ash stopped using his disobedient Charmeleon, but tried again in ''[[EP046|Attack of the Prehistoric Pokémon]]'' to repel wild Fossil Pokémon, which it ignored to do. When an {{p|Aerodactyl}} swooped past knocking Charmeleon over, Charmeleon proudly fought back but was unable to do anything. It then jumped up and grabbed the escaping Aerodactyl's tail and followed it into the open air, but was shaken off. Upset, Charmeleon evolved into {{p|Charizard}} and flew after Aerodactyl to avenge its injured pride. It managed to catch Ash and put him on the ground, but unfortunately, retained its disobedience.

Charizard's disloyalty began to cost Ash in the business end of his journey, throwing away a round with [[Blaine]] in ''[[EP058|Riddle Me This]]'', as Charizard simply loafed off and allowed {{p|Rhydon}} an easy win with {{m|Horn Drill}}. In [[EP059|the next episode]], Charizard refused to help dam the volcano, but changed its mind after seeing Blaine's powerful {{TP|Blaine|Magmar}} contributing. After working together, the duo were left with a burning desire to test each other's strength. Blaine permitted a battle at the peak of the volcano, and the two seem evenly matched. Magmar drops Charizard into the lava, but Charizard regains the upper hand by dazing Magmar with an aerial submission and then knocking it out with its powerful {{m|Seismic Toss}}.
[[File:Ash Charizard newly evolved.png|thumb|240px|right|As a newly evolved {{p|Charizard}}]]
In ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'', Charizard played a significant role. It blatantly refused to listen to Ash, but took up the battle against {{an|Mewtwo}}'s cloned Charizard. It lasted longer than Bruteroot or Shellshocker had, but was ultimately defeated by being slammed into the ground. It was captured in a Clone Ball, much to Ash's anguish. Ash then helped to release Charizard and the others, and it ran back to continue fighting its clone. When Ash was petrified by Mewtwo and {{an|Mew}}, Charizard wept for its fallen master's sacrifice, its tears helping to regenerate him. Once things were back to normal, Charizard's memory was erased and it went back to its blatant disobedience.

Charizard's disloyalty cost Ash greatly in the battle against [[Ritchie]] in ''[[EP079|Friend and Foe Alike]]''. Down to one Pokémon, Ash called Charizard into battle against [[Zippo]], and surprisingly decided to battle and force Zippo to flee from a far superior Flamethrower, causing Ritchie to concede the round. However, when [[Sparky]] came out, Charizard condescendingly stomped the ground and flapped his wings against the little Pikachu, before going to sleep, refusing to battle. Ash lost the round and Ritchie advanced onto the next round.

===Orange Islands===
Ash took Charizard with him to the Orange Islands, despite its refusal to obey him. Noticeably Ash had stopped trying to use it in battles, although in the episode ''[[EP093|Navel Maneuvers]]'', Charizard, {{AP|Pikachu}} and Bulbasaur were used in the second round of the match between Ash and [[Danny]]. Charizard was initially unwilling to participate, and Danny nearly won. However, Charizard unwillingly helped when it tried to use {{m|Flamethrower}} on Ash but missed and carved an ice pillar into a sled. This meant Ash won the round and was able to continue the match.

In ''[[EP098|A Way Off Day Off]]'', although refusing to listen to Ash, it recognised the wisdom and formidable experience that [[Tracey's Scyther]] had, and the two teamed up to defeat Team Rocket. Scyther was the only one of any of the group whom Charizard respected.

Charizard continued to go off on its own agenda during battles, such as in ''[[EP099|The Mandarin Island Miss Match]]''. Charizard took down a boy's {{p|Tauros}} with a single attack, before flying away and attempting to burn everything. Ash was unable to recall him and only the intervention of [[Lorelei|Prima]] and her {{p|Slowbro}} using {{m|Disable}} allowed Ash to recall it.

[[File:Ash Charizard frozen.png|thumb|240px|left|Being taken care of by Ash]]
In ''[[EP105|Charizard Chills]]'', Charizard battled [[Tad]]'s {{p|Poliwrath}}. It blatantly refused to listen to Ash's commands, continuing to try Flamethrowers despite them having no effect on Poliwrath. Tad and Poliwrath shrugged all of them off until Poliwrath responded with a Water Gun that nearly doused the flame on Charizard's tail. It was then encased in ice by Poliwrath's {{m|Ice Beam}}, much to Ash's horror. Ash managed to smash the ice encasing Charizard's head, and Tad walked away scornfully, telling Ash that they would have a rematch when he could control Charizard.

Ash lit a fire and thawed Charizard out, before rubbing Charizard all over to help it regain its body heat. Pikachu pointed out that Ash's hands were rubbed raw, but Ash replied that he didn't mind, Charizard's flame was so small that Ash redoubled his efforts. Charizard woke up in a panic and tried to attack, but it was so cold that it couldn't produce a flame and passed out again. Misty provided a blanket and Tracey kept the fires up whilst Pikachu watched the flame, but Ash himself worked throughout the entire night to help Charizard recover.

Ash stayed up all night trying to thaw it out and, in the process, rubbed his hands completely raw. The selfless act reminded Charizard of everything Ash had done for it since it was a Charmander. By morning, Charizard's respect for and loyalty to Ash had returned, and it helped Ash rescue Pikachu from Team Rocket. Ash and Pikachu were knocked senseless during the rescue, and Charizard became so incensed it learned {{m|Dragon Rage}}. In a rematch with Tad and Poliwrath, Charizard learned to dodge Ice Beam and knocked Poliwrath into the air, before defeating it with Seismic Toss.

It participated in Ash's Gym battle against [[Luana]] in ''[[EP108|Double Trouble]]''. It fought Luana's {{p|Alakazam}} and {{p|Marowak}} alongside Ash's Pikachu in the series' first [[Double Battle]]. The two Pokémon initially had trouble collaborating, but eventually managed to work together: Pikachu helped to free Charizard from Alakazam's {{m|Psychic}} attack and Charizard caught Pikachu after it was hit by Marowak's {{m|Body Slam}} attack. Charizard's skillful flying caused Marowak and Alakazam to knock each other out, giving Ash the Jade Star Badge.

In ''[[M02|The Power of One]]'', Charizard helped Ash complete his dangerous journey to Ice Island. It used its powerful Flamethrower to repel an attack from {{an|Moltres}}, but Ash recalled it when his sleigh was destroyed and a tidal wave came crashing down.

Charizard was also used in Ash's Orange League battle against {{OBP|Drake|Orange League}} in ''[[EP112|Enter the Dragonite]]''. Charizard defeated Drake's {{p|Electabuzz}} by blocking its electricity with {{m|Fire Spin}} and the knocking it out with Seismic Toss. It also fought {{TP|Drake|Dragonite}}, but was hit by a powerful {{m|Water Gun}} and then {{m|slam}}med into the ground. After a clash of Dragon Rages, Charizard fainted, but its attacks had begun to wear Dragonite down, paving the way for Pikachu to finish it off and give Ash victory. Charizard was inducted into the Orange Islands Hall of Fame with Ash's other Pokémon.

===Johto===
Charizard also accompanied Ash on his journey to the Johto region, although it became apparent that it was unfairly superior to most of Ash's early competition. This was shown especially in ''[[EP118|The Double Trouble Header]]'', where {{an|Casey}}'s {{p|Pidgey}} was beaten by Charizard exhaling and {{p|Rattata}} was defeated merely by bouncing of Charizard's stomach. A single Flamethrower beat {{TP|Casey|Chikorita}} and allowed Charizard to win in the sweep, despite the disapproval of Misty and Brock. Team Rocket later capitulated on Casey's frustration, calling Charizard an illegal choice by Ash.

Charizard was used to weaken and help Ash capture a {{p|Chikorita}} in ''[[EP126|The Chikorita Rescue]]''. His massive size compared to it came into effect when Chikorita ran toward him and tried to attack, Charizard responding by placing his foot out and blowing a small puff of fire after being instructed by Ash to only weaken it. Charizard's puff of fire ended up on Chikorita's single leaf and caused it to run around for a short amount of time before using {{m|Vine Whip}} to attack Charizard. Charizard was recalled by Ash after he and Chikorita fell into a large canvas of rocks.

It participated in Ash's first Johto Gym battle against [[Falkner]], where it battled Falkner's {{p|Pidgeot}}. Due to the latter's impressive {{stat|Speed}}, Charizard was put on the back foot, with Pidgeot's {{m|Whirlwind}} reflecting its Flamethrower back onto it. It was then knocked back down by a combination of {{m|Wing Attack}} and {{m|Quick Attack}}. Falkner tells Ash to surrender but Ash refuses and Charizard gains the strength to fight back and fly above Quick Attack. Charizard then baited Pidgeot, spinning around in midair when Pidgeot flew behind it and hitting it with Fire Spin, before seizing it and hurling it into the ground with Seismic Toss. Pidgeot was knocked out and Ash won the Zephyr Badge.

[[File:EP134.png|thumb|220px|left|Being left by Ash at the Charicific Valley]]
In ''[[EP134|Charizard's Burning Ambition]]'', Misty criticised Ash for using Charizard too often against fresh young Trainers, making him unbeatable but in an unfair way. Ash then met {{Jo|Liza}}, who taught Ash and Charizard how to fly together. After arriving in the [[Charicific Valley]], Charizard was humiliated by Liza's insult and proudly tried to show off its power, but was shown to be smaller and weaker than the wild Charizard who lived there. Charizard continued to pick fights and got beaten until Liza locked them out of the Valley, having [[Charla]] throw Charizard into the lake and telling it and Ash to stay away until they had trained and reflected. Team Rocket sympathised with Charizard and helped it to stay awake in the lake, as well as making a false attempt to break into the Valley, allowing Charizard to defeat them and win acclaim from Liza, Charla and the wild Charizard.

Facing an emotional battle, Ash told Charizard that he didn't want a weakling on his team and he would be fine without it, forcing Charizard to stay at the Valley to train and become more powerful. He then ran away from the Valley, knowing that if he stopped he would not be able to say goodbye. Pikachu wished Charizard well and followed Ash, leaving its long lasting teammate behind.

In ''[[M03|Spell of the Unown]]'', Charizard witnessed the plight of [[Greenfield]] on Liza's TV and immediately left Charicific Valley to come to Ash's aid. It arrived just in time to catch Ash as he was blasted off the cliff by {{OBP|Entei|M03}}. Charizard put up a fight against Entei and was nearly killed, but seeing the bond between Ash and Charizard changed [[Molly Hale]]'s heart and she ordered Entei to stop fighting. Charizard then helped Pikachu and Entei to break through the Unown's forcefield and to break the spell. At the end of the movie, Charizard returned to the Valley.
[[File:Valleyshipping.png|thumb|220px|right|With Charla]]
While there, it took the role of bodyguard for Liza's Charizard, [[Charla]], and the two seem to have struck up a [[ValleyShipping|romantic relationship]]. Liza occasionally visits the [[Dragon's Den|Dragon's Valley]] in [[Blackthorn City]] alongside the two Charizard. One such visit was in ''[[EP253|Great Bowls of Fire!]]'', which coincidentally occurred when Ash was there for his final [[Johto]] Gym battle. Charizard helped Ash, Clair, Pikachu and {{TP|Clair|Dragonair}} calm the wild {{p|Dragonite}} that was rampaging in the Dragon Holy Land.

In ''[[EP254|Better Eight Than Never]]'', Charizard battled against Clair's Dragonair in his rematch with her by causing the water in the Gym's pool to evaporate with its {{m|Flamethrower}} and {{m|Fire Spin}}, thus depriving Dragonair of its protection. It then caught Dragonair with Seismic Toss and used Fire Spin to create a flaming twister to wear down Dragonair's defenses before it hit the ground and was knocked out. Ash surprised Liza by sending it back for training, knowing that Charizard still has a lot to learn.

Ash later used Charizard in the [[Silver Conference]] during his fight against [[Gary Oak]] in ''[[EP270|Can't Beat the Heat!]]'', as Brock had made a late night call to Liza requesting Charizard for the battle. [[Gary's Blastoise]] and {{p|Scizor}} cut Ash's team down to only Charizard who had to fight three opponents single-handedly. It managed to match Scizor's speed and took advantage of its significant type advantage, blasting Scizor with Flamethrower. Despite Gary's Golem's weight preventing Charizard from using its Seismic Toss, Charizard overcame it with a powerful Dragon Rage. Charizard struggled against Blastoise, as it had supreme defensive capabilities and could keep Charizard at bay with Hydro Pump. Thinking outside the square, Charizard superheated the field and forced Blastoise to cool the molten rock. This created a huge steam cloud and allowed Charizard to seize Blastoise at close range. Blastoise could still use {{m|Withdraw}} to dodge Dragon Rage, so Charizard hurled Blastoise into the ground with Seismic Toss, taking Blastoise out and leaving Ash as the winner.

Charizard was then used in Ash's fight against {{jo|Harrison}}, where it came out against [[Harrison's Blaziken]]. Charizard's aerial advantage was negated by Blaziken's powerful legs and ability to maneuver in midair. Each Pokémon hit hard blows on the other, and their Flamethrowers were shown to be equal in power. Blaziken even managed to get up after a devastating Seismic Toss, whilst Charizard took a {{m|Blaze Kick}} to the neck and continued on. A fiery clash between Flamethrower and Dragon Rage knocked both Pokémon down, but only Blaziken could get up, eliminating Ash from the tournament.

Charizard once again returned to Charicific Valley, and it was revealed that it had injured Blaziken so badly that Harrison had to rest it in the next round, contributing to his loss.

===Kanto Battle Frontier===
[[File:AG136.png|thumb|220px|right|Battling against Articuno]]
In ''[[AG136|The Symbol Life]]'', it returned for Ash's first {{Gdis|Battle Frontier|III}} battle, where it took on [[Noland's Articuno]] at the {{DL|Battle Frontier (Generation III)|Battle Factory}}. Ash and Charizard flew together, where Charizard demonstrated a far improved {{m|Flamethrower}} and that it had learned {{m|DragonBreath}}. In battle it showed that it was a match even for the legendary Pokémon, using Flamethrower to burn through {{m|Ice Beam}} and strike Articuno. However, Articuno did not take damage from Flamethrower or DragonBreath, flattening Charizard by blinding it with {{m|Mist}} and then knocking it to the ground with {{m|Steel Wing}}. Articuno then inflicted serious damage with {{m|Water Pulse}} and froze Charizard's wing tip, crippling its movements. Finally, Charizard used {{m|Overheat}}, which it had just learned, to melt the ice, then it caught Articuno as it tried to use {{m|Steel Wing}}; before striking with a Seismic Toss. Charizard collapsed, but managed to get up just as Articuno passed out, giving Ash and Charizard the victory.

Charizard also battled alongside Squirtle, Bulbasaur, and Pikachu in a four-on-four battle against {{FB|Pyramid King|Brandon}}'s Pokémon in ''[[AG189|Gathering the Gang of Four!]]''. It went up against {{p|Dusclops}}. Charizard had been training since its battle with Articuno and learned {{m|Steel Wing}}, but was put on the back foot when Dusclops uses {{m|Confuse Ray}} and {{m|Mean Look}}, forcing Charizard to keep battling in its baffled state, all the while taking damage from {{m|Will-O-Wisp}}. Finally Charizard snapped out of confusion and attacked with DragonBreath, wearing both Pokémon down. However, an attempt to use Seismic Toss to finish the match costs Ash dearly, as the {{type|Ghost}} simply dissipated and re-emerged safely at a distance, where a single {{m|Shadow Punch}} took Charizard out and put Ash at a supreme disadvantage. However, Squirtle, Pikachu and Bulbasaur managed to win the battle and the Symbol. After that, Charizard returned to Charicific Valley.

===Unova===
[[File:BW116.png|thumb|240px|left|Charizard's rivalry with Iris's Dragonite]]
In [[BW116]], Ash and his friends visited a Kanto-based festival, where one of the presentations featured the local [[starter Pokémon]], involving a live action show with a Charmander. This made Ash remember his own Charmander, prompting him to tell the story how he got his Charmander, and how it eventually became Charizard and won many battles with him, eventually leaving for training. Interested by the idea of seeing his old friend again, Ash called Professor Oak, who, in exchange for [[Ash's Unfezant]], sent Charizard over to him. While being introduced to all of the gang's new Pokémon, Charizard almost immediately started a fiery rivalry with [[Iris's Dragonite]], encouraging Ash and {{an|Iris}} to have a battle with their Pokémon. During the battle, Charizard was shown to have learned {{m|Wing Attack}}, {{m|Slash}}, and {{m|Dragon Tail}}. After a while, the battle was called off by [[N]]. Ash then also corrected Iris's misconception that Charizard would be a {{type|Dragon}}, saying that it is actually {{2t|Fire|Flying}}, much to Iris's shocking surprise.

==Personality and characteristics==
{{bulbanews|Personality & Development: Ash's Charizard}}
The emotional turmoil of being abandoned by Damian defined Ash's Charizard whilst it was a Charmander. Despite the scorn it received from Damian, it remained loyal to him, convinced that it had a good relationship where in fact none existed. Even when made to sit through a rain storm in hunger and fatigue and Ash and Brock have shown true kindness towards it, loyalty never wavered and Charmander almost lost its life doing so. Only a violent confrontation revealed to it the unhealthy nature of his and Damian's relationship. Charmander struggled with this abandonment, as seen in ''[[EP017|Island of the Giant Pokémon]]'', it became discouraged when {{AP|Bulbasaur}} suggested that Ash had abandoned them all.

[[File:Ash Charizard disobedience.png|thumb|240px|left|Refusing to battle against [[Sparky]]]]
Despite being one of Ash's most often used Pokémon, Charmander's evolution saw Charmeleon grow distant from Ash, scorning all of its former friends and seeking power alone. Charmeleon had grown to become like Damian, obsessed with power and reputation whilst ignoring the value of friendship, loyalty and kindness. Charmeleon's battle with {{p|Aerodactyl}} was purely based on a bruised ego, just as Charizard's later battles with {{TP|Blaine|Magmar}}, [[Zippo]] and the clone Charizard were. Despite this, however, it did, to an extremely small extent, retain some respect and loyalty to its master, made especially apparent when Ash ended up killed trying to stop Mew and Mewtwo's battle, where it was seen weeping for Ash before its tears revived him.

Once Ash made the selfless act to save Charizard from freezing, Charizard finally shook off the poisonous personality traits left by Damian and regained full loyalty to Ash. Its ability to work as part of a team was hampered but when working together with {{AP|Pikachu}} to defeat [[Luana]], it finally managed to overcome that difficulty. However, Charizard maintained the rebellious Flamethrower attacks as a sign of affection for his master and whilst Charizard was loyal, its love of power and reputation remained. This was shown significantly in its departing episode, where it brashly challenged each of the wild Charizard at Charicific Valley even though it was defeated every time.

Ash's Charizard is universally accepted to be one of his most powerful Pokémon. Most of Ash's significant victories were thanks to Charizard - his victories over [[Koga]], Blaine, [[Danny]], Falkner, Gary, and [[Noland's Articuno]] would all have been impossible without Charizard. Its loyalty to Ash stemmed so far that it was willing to fly all the way to Greenfield just in time to save Ash from falling to certain death, and put its life on the line to save the day.

[[File:Ash Charmander EToP.png|thumb|140px|right|As a Charmander]]
[[File:Ash Charizard EToP.png|thumb|230px|left|Ash's Charizard in The Electric Tale of Pikachu]]
[[Ash Ketchum (EToP)|Ash]]'s Charizard makes a few appearances in the {{pkmn|manga}} series [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]]; however the circumstances of its capture seem to differ in this series. While [[Damian]] appears in ''[[ET07|Pikachu's Excellent Adventure]]'', he was separated from his Charmander because he was injured, not because he abandoned it. At the end of the chapter, the two reunite in the [[Hidden Village]].

Despite this difference, Ash is still seen owning a Charmander, which first appears in ''[[ET08|You Gotta Have Friends]]''. Charmander's capture is not shown in the manga, instead, it is explained that "Ash has been busy since the last comic!" when Charmander first appears from its [[Poké Ball]]. Charmander is first seen when a lonely Ash decides to play with his other Pokémon while Pikachu is off playing with a group of Pikachu. Charmander simply sets Ash on fire while his {{p|Oddish}} paralyzes him with {{m|Stun Spore}}.

Later, at the 88th Pokémon League, Ash presents his Charmander, now fully evolved into a Charizard, to Brock and Misty. Despite the fact that Ash wanted to use Charizard as a secret weapon, Charizard refuses to listen to him unless he holds a special flare that burns with the fire of a {{p|Moltres}}. Due to the fact that the flare burns out quickly and Ash could lose points for using a prop, he decides to not use it and use his other Pokémon instead.

[[File:Ash Charizard violent.png|thumb|230px|right|Ash's Charizard violently attacking Ritchie's Charley]]
In the fifth round of the Pokémon League, Ash sends out Charizard as third and last Pokémon in his match against Ritchie. Ritchie counters with his own Charizard, named [[Zippo|Charley]]. Though evenly matched at first, Charizard goes into a violent frenzy and mercilessly starts scratching, biting, and burning Charley. Ash attempts to stop this mauling with his flare but Charizard ignores it and continues to attack Charley, heavily injuring it and splattering its blood everywhere.

Ash decides to return Charizard to its Poké Ball, forfeiting the match and making Ritchie the winner in the process. Overwhelmed with guilt, Ash leaves the arena and apologizes to Ritchie who states that it's alright and that his Charley will be fine after a trip to the Pokémon Center.

Charizard appeared again in ''[[ET16|You Bet Your Wife]]'' where Ash decided to use it in a dance competition in his Gym battle against [[Rudy]]. After flying around in circles, Charizard set Ash aflame as it did in its first appearance.

Charizard appeared one last time in ''[[ET18|Pikachu's Plan]]'' where it was used to battle [[Drake (Orange League)|Drake]] in the [[Orange League]] finals. Charizard, now listening to Ash perfectly, battles against [[Drake's Dragonite]]. Despite being much larger and putting up a good fight, Charizard is eventually defeated, leaving Ash with only Pikachu left to use.

==Trivia==
[[File:Ash Charizard greeting.png|240px|thumb|Charizard greeting Ash with {{m|Flamethrower}}]]
* Out of all Pokémon in the anime, Charizard has used the most moves, a total of 17 (18 if the unused {{m|Mega Punch}} is included).
* During ''[[EP133|Tanks a Lot!]]'', Brock mentioned that Charizard was male when saying that Charizard could use ''his'' {{m|Flamethrower}} to destroy the Arbo-Tank, but since this only occurred in the dub it is uncertain how dependable this information is. Further hints to Charizard's gender were applied with the introduction of [[Charla]].
* Charizard was the first of Ash's starter Pokémon to evolve to its final stage.
* Charizard was the first Pokémon in the {{pkmn|anime}} to have defeated a [[legendary Pokémon]], {{p|Articuno}}.
* Currently, Charizard is the only Pokémon Ash has had that refused to obey him after evolving. Every other Pokémon obeyed him without question following their evolutions. All others that had this trait, [[Dawn's Mamoswine]] and [[Iris's Excadrill]], belong to another Trainer.
** However, despite obeying Ash, as {{p|Chimchar}} and {{p|Monferno}}, {{AP|Infernape}} cannot listen to Ash when its {{a|Blaze}} [[Ability]] made him go on a rampage. He could control himself after evolving into {{p|Infernape}}.
* Until the episode ''[[EP105|Charizard Chills]]'', Charizard only seemed to obey Ash when fighting another Fire-type Pokémon as he was obedient against Blaine's Magmar, Mewtwo's cloned Charizard and [[Zippo]].
* The {{series|Diamond & Pearl}} is the only series so far in which Charizard did not make an appearance.
* It has become a running gag in the anime that whenever Charizard returns to Ash, it greets him by scorching him with its Flamethrower.

'''Ash's Pikachu''' (Japanese: '''サトシのピカチュウ''' ''Satoshi's Pikachu'') is the [[starter Pokémon|first Pokémon]] obtained by {{Ash}} on his journey as a [[Pokémon Trainer]].

==History==
[[File:Ash Pikachu debut.png‎|thumb|200px|{{Ash}} and Pikachu meeting for the first time]]
===Kanto and Johto===
In the first episode of the [[Pokémon anime]], ''[[EP001|Pokémon - I Choose You!]]'', Ash woke up late the day he was supposed to go to {{DL|Professor Oak's Laboratory|In the anime|Professor Oak's Laboratory}} to obtain his first Pokémon. When he arrived at the lab, the three available starter Pokémon, {{p|Bulbasaur}}, {{p|Charmander}}, and {{TP|Gary|Squirtle}}, had already been taken by other Trainers who arrived earlier. Seeing that Ash was disappointed, Professor Oak gave him Pikachu, who, at first, [[Obedience|did not care at all for his new Trainer]], constantly zapping him and anyone else nearby. He refused to go into his [[Poké Ball]], and when Ash failed to catch a {{p|Pidgey}}, he laughed at him. However, by the end of the episode, Ash gained Pikachu's trust by protecting him from an attack by a flock of {{p|Spearow}} and rushing him to the [[Pokémon Center]]. Pikachu and Ash soon became inseparable. In ''[[EP039|Pikachu's Goodbye]]'', Ash gave Pikachu his consent to remain in a forest filled with Pikachu, but Pikachu decided to stay by Ash's side.

In general, Pikachu as a species are not particularly powerful, but Ash's Pikachu is an anomaly, overcoming odds in {{pkmn|battle}} numerous times. In ''[[EP005|Showdown in Pewter City]]'', he defeated [[Brock's Onix]] with an {{type|Electric}} attack that triggered the sprinkler system causing Onix to be drenched in water, one of its weaknesses. In ''[[EP014|Electric Shock Showdown]]'', Pikachu fought [[Lt. Surge]]'s {{TP|Lt. Surge|Raichu}} and lost. During a resulting hospital stay, he refused to become Raichu's equal by evolving via a {{evostone|Thunderstone}}, and in the second battle, Pikachu overcame Raichu by using his superior speed. The same situation happened in ''[[DP074|Pika and Goliath!]]'' where Pikachu reaffirmed his decision not to evolve. In ''[[EP002|Pokémon Emergency!]]'', {{MTR}} remarked that Pikachu's power "far exceeds its evolutionary level". Ash's Pikachu has also defeated very powerful Pokémon that Ash's other Pokémon were unable to, such as {{p|Dragonite}} and {{p|Metagross}}. He has helped Ash win innumerable battles and [[Gym]] and {{pkmn|League}} matches.

[[File:Ash DP 2.png|thumb|120px|left|Ash and Pikachu, as seen in {{series|Diamond & Pearl}} artwork]]
However, at times, {{p|Pikachu}} has lived up to his species' frail and brittle strengths, particularly in Gym battles where he was defeated with relative ease by his opponent; for example, he was overpowered very easily by [[Lt. Surge's Raichu]], [[Sabrina's Kadabra]], [[Blaine's Magmar]], [[Bugsy]]'s {{p|Scyther}}, [[Whitney's Miltank]], [[Chuck]]'s {{p|Poliwrath}}, [[Roark's Rampardos]], [[Fantina's Drifblim]], and [[Cress]]'s {{p|Panpour}}. He also drew against [[Winona]]'s {{p|Pelipper}} and [[Norman]]'s {{p|Vigoroth}}, and struggled against [[Crasher Wake]]'s {{p|Floatzel}}. Furthermore, he has lost twice to [[Trip]]'s Servine, despite Trip being a starting Trainer and recently having obtained Servine.

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

===Hoenn===
[[File:Ash Pikachu Poké Ball.png|thumb|200px|Pikachu's Poké Ball, with a lightning bolt mark, at Professor Oak's Laboratory]]
Pikachu became the second non-legendary Pokémon to defeat a [[legendary Pokémon]] in the anime after {{AP|Charizard}}, beating {{FB|Pyramid King|Brandon}}'s {{DL|Brandon's Regis|Regice}} in ''[[AG190|Pace - The Final Frontier!]]'', giving Ash his final [[Symbol|Frontier Symbol]].

Pikachu is also the only one of Ash's Pokémon to accompany him to the [[Hoenn]] and [[Unova]] regions, and was intended to be the only Pokémon to accompany him to [[Sinnoh]] before {{AP|Aipom}} was discovered to have stowed away on the ship Ash was taking. Up until the capture of [[Dawn's Pachirisu]], Pikachu was the only {{type|Electric}} Pokémon in the anime owned by a main character.

Even with his high level of electrical power, Pikachu has not stopped learning new attacks. Upon learning that [[Roxanne]], the Rustboro Gym Leader used Rock types, Ash had Pikachu begin learning {{m|Iron Tail}} in ''[[AG013|All Things Bright and Beautifly!]]''. After training hard, Pikachu finally perfected it in ''[[AG016|The Winner by a Nosepass]]'', where he used it to defeat Roxanne's {{p|Nosepass}} and earn Ash his first Hoenn Badge. In addition to giving Pikachu an advantage over Rock types, Iron Tail has allowed Pikachu to defeat many powerful opponents. In ''[[AG150|May's Egg-Cellent Adventure]]'', during a battle with Team Rocket, Ash ordered Pikachu to do a {{m|Quick Attack}}. Much to the surprise of Ash and his friends, the Quick Attack morphed into {{m|Volt Tackle}} which sent Team Rocket blasting off. Until ''[[BW020|Dancing With the Ducklett Trio!]]'', it has been one of Pikachu's signature moves. Also in the same episode, Pikachu learned {{m|Electro Ball}} while battling a trio of annoying {{p|Ducklett}}. Not only that, Pikachu has used his Ability, {{a|Static}}, a few times in the anime.

In Hoenn, Pikachu learned how to surf. He also learned how to punch from Ash in ''[[EP029|The Punchy Pokémon]]''. In Sinnoh, Ash used him during the [[Pokémon Ping Pong Tournament]].

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

[[File:Ash Pikachu Static.png‎|250px|left|thumb|Pikachu activating his {{a|Static}} Ability]]
Pikachu's next major battle after Fantina, was when he was used against [[Paul]] in ''[[DP132|Evolving Strategies!]]''. First he went up against {{TP|Paul|Magmortar}}; however, when he attacked with Quick Attack, he was {{status|burn}}ed by Magmortar's {{a|Flame Body}} and Pikachu was recalled. Later, he went up against Paul's very powerful {{TP|Paul|Ursaring}} and {{status|Paralysis|paralyzed}} it with {{a|Static}}. This actually made things worse for Pikachu as being paralyzed activated Ursaring's {{a|Guts}} Ability, and Pikachu found himself completely outmatched by Ursaring's massive power and was defeated and thrown into [[Lake Acuity]], taking him out of the match as well as injuring him. This defeat meant that Ash had to defeat Paul's remaining five Pokémon with only {{AP|Chimchar}}.

Later, in ''[[DP165|Flint Sparks the Fire!]]'', Pikachu battled [[Flint's Infernape]], but he was defeated after a long fight.

In ''[[DP179|The Eighth Wonder of the Sinnoh World!]]'', Pikachu battled against [[Volkner]]'s {{p|Electivire}} and won, giving him his first victory over a Pokémon in the {{p|Electabuzz}} evolutionary line. However, he was defeated by Volkner's {{p|Luxray}}.

[[File:Ash Pikachu contest.png|thumb|220px|Pikachu performing in a Pokémon Contest]]
In the [[Lily of the Valley Conference]], Ash used Pikachu in his battle against Paul in ''[[DP186|Familiarity Breeds Strategy!]]''. He was used against Paul's {{p|Aggron}}, where he put up a good fight and weakened Aggron before he was recalled in place of Infernape. Pikachu was also used in the continuation of Ash's battle against Paul in ''[[DP187|A Real Rival Rouser!]]''. He went against Paul's {{p|Froslass}} where he was seen having some trouble at first, but by the end, he was able to pull through and defeat Froslass with a powerful Volt Tackle attack. This gave Pikachu his first win against one of Paul's Pokémon and also gave Ash the lead in the battle. In ''[[DP188|Battling a Thaw in Relations!]]'', he battled [[Paul's Electivire]], but had trouble due to Electivire's {{a|Motor Drive}} Ability, and was soon defeated by a {{m|Brick Break}}. In ''[[DP189|The Semi-Final Frontier!]]'', Pikachu was the last Pokémon chosen by Ash to battle {{si|Tobias}} in the semi-finals. Despite Ash losing five of his Pokémon, Pikachu tried his best to defeat Tobias's {{p|Latios}}. Almost none of the attacks hit or did any damage to Latios in the beginning, however, Pikachu finally managed to jump on top of Latios and used Thunderbolt several times before he was shaken off. As Pikachu was about to land, Latios used {{m|Luster Purge}}. Pikachu used Volt Tackle and Iron Tail, taking against the force of the Luster Purge. However, he was tied with Latios as both fainted. As Ash's last Pokémon also fainted, Tobias was crowned the winner of their battle.

===Unova===
Ash decided to just bring Pikachu to [[Unova]] with him, just like he did in [[Hoenn]]. In ''[[BW001|In The Shadow of Zekrom!]]'', Pikachu had an encounter with {{p|Zekrom}}, which unaware by Ash, caused Pikachu to lose his ability to use Electric-type moves. Ash finally noticed this when Pikachu battled Trip's {{TP|Trip|Snivy}}, losing in the process. In ''[[BW002|Enter Iris and Axew!]]'', he regained his ability to use Electric-type attacks and was used in battle which led to the capture of {{AP|Pidove}}. In ''[[BW005|Triple Leaders, Team Threats!]]'', Ash used Pikachu in his Gym battle at the [[Striaton Gym]], where he faced [[Cress]] and his {{p|Panpour}}. Even though he tried his best, Pikachu was just not as fast as Panpour and was defeated without landing a single hit despite the type-advantage. In ''[[BW010|A Battle for Club Champ!]]'', he battled Trip's {{p|Tranquill}}, who had already taken out [[Ash's Oshawott]] and {{AP|Tepig}}. He took a beating from multiple {{m|Aerial Ace}}s, but showed Trip the power of his electrical attacks by defeating Tranquill with Volt Tackle. He then battled Snivy again, who by then had evolved into {{p|Servine}}. However, despite not being incapacitated, he was once again defeated. In ''[[BW013|Minccino-Neat and Tidy!]]'', Ash used Pikachu in a battle against {{an|Bianca}} and her {{TP|Bianca|Pignite}}. Even though he had some trouble at first, Pikachu was able to pull through in the end and defeat Pignite with a powerful Volt Tackle.

[[File:Ash and his Pikachu.png|thumb|250px|left|Ash and Pikachu]]
In ''[[BW020|Dancing With the Ducklett Trio!]]'', a trio of {{p|Ducklett}} stole Ash's {{AP|hat}} and {{p|Sandile}}'s sunglasses. One of the Ducklett dropped an umbrella on Pikachu while he was about to use Thunderbolt. Pikachu was unable to release electricity because of it. While Sandile battled the three Ducklett, Pikachu joined the battle as well and after taking a direct hit from the Ducklett, Pikachu began releasing electricity and formed an {{m|Electro Ball}} and sent the Ducklett flying. Later on, he battled against the Sunglasses Sandile. Even though Sandile evolved into {{AP|Krokorok}}, Pikachu used Electro Ball and sent {{m|Stone Edge}} right back at {{p|Krokorok}} and he was sent flying.

Ash used Pikachu in his third Gym battle against Burgh at the [[Castelia Gym]] in ''[[BW023|Battling For The Love of Bug-Types!]]''. Pikachu went up against [[Burgh]]'s {{p|Leavanny}} and after a tough battle, Pikachu was able to win it with a powerful {{m|Iron Tail}} and {{m|Electro Ball}} combo.

In ''[[BW038|Movie Time! Zorua and the Pokémon Knight!]]'' Pikachu played a movie role as Ash's assistant. He battled [[Iris's Axew]] in order to gain the power to defeat {{an|Cilan|the villain}} and his [[Cilan's Pansage|assistant]]. He succeeded with a Thunderbolt-Electro Ball combo. He later defeated the villain and rescued the princess.

Ash used Pikachu in the final round in the [[Club Battle]] in ''[[BW042|Club Battle Finale: A Hero's Outcome!]]'' against {{an|Iris}}. Pikachu went up against [[Iris's Excadrill]]. Pikachu had a very hard time battling Excadrill, as Excadrill is part {{t|Ground}} and Pikachu's {{t|Electric}} moves would have no effect on him. Pikachu did surprisingly well, however. Unfortunately, Pikachu fainted first, and Iris won the tournament.

In ''[[BW050|Dazzling the Nimbasa Gym!]]'', when Ash couldn't choose who to use after {{AP|Palpitoad}} and {{AP|Snivy}} fainted, Pikachu got fed up and zapped him, Ash then chose to use Pikachu in his Gym Battle against [[Elesa]]. He went up against her powerful {{p|Emolga}}, who even though she knew {{m|Attract}}, Pikachu beat her with a single {{m|Quick Attack}}. Later, Pikachu battled Elesa's {{p|Tynamo}}, who only knew {{m|Tackle}}, but was still very strong. Yet Pikachu was able to beat Tynamo with a powerful {{m|Iron Tail}} attack, winning Ash the {{Badge|Bolt}}.

In ''[[BW059|Stopping the Rage of Legends! Part 1]]'', Pikachu teamed up with [[Cilan's Stunfisk]] to battle {{p|Tornadus}} and {{p|Thundurus}}. Stunfisk used his amazing jumping ability to get them both into the air so that they could launch a {{m|Thunderbolt}}—{{m|ThunderShock}} combination at the two legendary Pokémon. However, Pikachu was knocked off Stunfisk's back and his partner was then struck by a powerful {{m|Hammer Arm}}. Later in ''[[BW060|Stopping the Rage of Legends! Part 2]]'', Pikachu helped rescue the [[kami trio]] from {{TRT}}. He used Thunderbolt on [[Dr. Zager]]'s helicopter, joined by {{AP|Roggenrola}}, Iris's Axew and {{TP|Iris|Emolga}} and Cilan's Pansage to cause the forcefield prisons trapping the trio to break.

In ''[[BW068|An Amazing Aerial Battle!]]'', Ash used Pikachu against [[Skyla]]'s {{p|Unfezant}} after {{AP|Tranquill}} was recalled. While Pikachu's Electric-type attacks were evaded, he was eventually able to intercept Unfezant's Aerial Ace attack with his Iron Tail. Pikachu then launched an Electro Ball and defeated Unfezant. Pikachu stayed in the battle to fight Skyla's last Pokémon, {{p|Swanna}}. Pikachu's Electric-type attacks were blocked by Swanna's {{m|Aqua Ring}}, defending against the type advantage Pikachu held over it. However, using the hoops that Skyla had used in her pre-battle show, Pikachu was able to jump with Quick Attack to hit Swanna. Eventually, Swanna was able to hit Pikachu with a powerful {{m|Hurricane}} and a brutal {{m|Brave Bird}}, after which Ash deemed Pikachu unable to battle, although he tried to continue.

In ''[[BW084|Rocking the Virbank Gym! Part 2]]'', Ash chose Pikachu as his final Pokémon in his Gym battle with [[Roxie]] and her strongest Pokémon, {{p|Garbodor}}. Using its extendable arms, Garbodor tried to use {{m|DoubleSlap}} on Pikachu, but the Electric Mouse Pokémon was too fast for the Trash Heap Pokémon, and trying to reach him with all his dodging only caused Garbodor's arms to accidentally get tied together, allowing Pikachu to land a hit with Quick Attack. Garbodor tried to use its tied-up arms as a whip, but Pikachu was easily able to dodge them every time and strike back with a Thunderbolt. When Pikachu tried to use Iron Tail, Garbodor swung its arms upwards, repelling Pikachu and untying the arms. After several misses with {{m|Gunk Shot}}, Garbodor grabbed Pikachu, swung him up high and hit him repeatedly with DoubleSlap while falling. After this, Garbodor fired another Gunk Shot, this time hitting and also {{status|poison}}ing Pikachu. Ash was getting discouraged, but thanks to the encouraging words from Iris and Cilan, he and Pikachu decided to keep on going, despite the poison. To Ash's luck, all the [[physical move|physical contact]] Pikachu made with Garbodor, had caused Pikachu's Static Ability to activate and paralyze Garbodor. Despite still being able to withstand a Thunderbolt, the Trash Heap Pokémon was unable to take a hit from the following Electro Ball, and was knocked out, making Ash victorious and earning him his eighth and final Unova Badge, the {{badge|Toxic}}, thus allowing him to enter the [[Unova League]]. After the battle, Roxie admitted her defeat, and gave Pikachu a [[Pecha Berry]] to cure him from the poisoning.

In ''[[BW093|Goodbye, Junior Cup - Hello Adventure!]]'', Pikachu battled [[Dawn's Quilava]] in a friendly battle before Dawn left Unova for Johto. He was hit by a {{m|Swift}} attack before missing with Quick Attack, though he managed to dodge Quilava's {{m|Flame Wheel}}. Pikachu attempted both Electro Ball and Iron Tail, both of which were stopped by his opponent's {{m|Flamethrower}}. After their Quick Attack and Flame Wheel clashed in mid-air, [[Cynthia]] stopped the match.

In ''[[BW096|Meloetta and the Undersea Temple!]]'', Ash battled {{an|Giovanni}} with Pikachu trying to protect {{an|Meloetta}}, but was defeated by his {{TP|Giovanni|Persian}} and Giovanni successfully captured Meloetta, and took it, along with the imprisoned Ash and Pikachu, to the [[Abyssal Ruins]]. In [[BW097|the next episode]], Pikachu managed to break Team Rocket's force field prison by striking it repeatedly with Iron Tail, freeing both Ash and himself. They made an attempt to reach Meloetta, but were sent flying by the attacks of [[Jessie's Woobat]] and [[James's Yamask]]. Luckily, they were safely caught mid-air and brought down by [[Ridley]]'s {{p|Golurk}}. Later, during the battle against the mind-controlled [[Form differences#Kami trio|Therian Forme]] Kami Trio, as Thundurus aimed a {{m|Thunder}} attack at [[Iris's Dragonite]] and Iris stepped in its way to protect her Pokémon, Pikachu jumped in, and absorbed the massive blast of electricity himself. This gave Pikachu a tremendous power boost, as seen later, when Ash told Pikachu to use Electro Ball on Team Rocket. The supercharged attack grew into amazingly massive proportions, inflicting notable damage on the Abyssal Ruins, sending Team Rocket flying, and freeing Meloetta. However, the blast also caused Giovanni to get a straight view at the {{Key|V|Reveal Glass}}, causing its possessive powers to take over and corrupt his mind, sending the Kami Trio on a mindless rampage in an attempt to ''destroy'' Unova rather than conquer it. The possession was broken when Jessie, James, and Meowth pushed Giovanni out of the enchanted ring, breaking the spell. As Giovanni realized that it would be impossible to control the legendary Pokémon without Meloetta, he ordered a full retreat back to [[Kanto]]. Even while aboard the Team Rocket helicopter, Jessie and James couldn't help at admiring Pikachu's incredible powers. When Meloetta later left with Ridley, Pikachu was saying goodbye to it, along with Ash, Cilan, Iris, Cynthia, Axew, and the heartbroken Oshawott.

In ''[[BW103|Curtain Up, Unova League!]]'', Ash chose to use Pikachu in the preliminary round of the [[Vertress Conference]] against Trip and his Serperior. Despite executing all his attacks perfectly, Serperior was able to dodge all of them with ease and knock Pikachu down with a powerful {{m|Dragon Tail}}. As the battle continued in ''[[BW104|Mission: Defeat Your Rival!]]'', Serperior hit Pikachu with an {{m|Energy Ball}} and a barrage of Dragon Tails, before {{m|wrap}}ping Pikachu in a tight squeeze. With great effort, Pikachu fired a Thunderbolt, but it proved useless, as Serperior simply stuck his tail into the ground, conducting the electricity away. As Pikachu was struggling to catch a breath and his face was turning purple, Serperior prepared to finish him off. Luckily, with some quick thinking from Ash, Pikachu was released from Serperior's grip by an Iron Tail. Before Pikachu could attack, however, he was once again hit by a Dragon Tail. As Serperior prepared for the next strike, Ash got an idea to use two moves at once to match Serperior's power, and had Pikachu to use Electro Ball and Iron Tail simultaneously. The attack combination collided with Serperior's Dragon Tail, causing a big explosion. As the smoke cleared, Serperior was still up and Pikachu was lying down, but Pikachu had, in fact, survived the attack and knock out Serperior. Pikachu jumped in joy of winning the battle for Ash and leaped to his arms as the defeated Serperior fell down to the ground, much to Trip's shock and surprise.

In [[BW107]], Ash chose Pikachu as his fifth Pokémon during his [[Full Battle]] against {{un|Cameron}}, sending him out to face Cameron's {{p|Samurott}}. Despite being in type disadvantage, Samurott was able to block Pikachu's Thunderbolt and Quick Attack with {{m|Razor Shell}} before striking back with a powerful {{m|Hydro Cannon}}. The Formidable Pokémon then attempted to strike Pikachu with {{m|Megahorn}}, which Pikachu was, however, able to dodge before striking with another Quick Attack, this time successfully avoiding Samurott's Razor Shell defense. Ash kept on attacking by telling Pikachu to use Iron Tail, followed by an Electro Ball, forcing Samurott to block it with Razor Shell. This gave Pikachu an opportunity to serve another blow with Iron Tail, defeating Samurott. Cameron then sent out his next Pokémon, Swanna, attempting to keep distance to Pikachu. The Electric Mouse Pokémon was able to avoid Swanna's first attack attempt, a series of {{m|Pluck}}, as well as Swanna was able to avoid Pikachu's initial Quick Attack. However, Pikachu didn't manage to dodge Swanna's following {{m|Wing Attack}}, taking a notable amount of damage. Despite of this, Pikachu was able to dodge Swanna's following {{m|BubbleBeam}} and Wing Attack before serving the finishing strike with Electro Ball. When Cameron decided to use {{p|Riolu}}, Ash saw that Pikachu was getting tired, and recalled him, replacing him with Unfezant. [[BW108|Later during the battle]], Ash sent Pikachu out to face Cameron's newly evolved {{TP|Cameron|Lucario}}, which had just defeated Snivy, leaving Pikachu as Ash's last Pokémon. Pikachu started the round by launching a barrage of Quick Attacks, which all made a direct hits, until Lucario got its act together and hit Pikachu back with a {{m|Force Palm}}, causing heavy damage on him. This hit was then followed by a collision of {{m|Aura Sphere}} and Electro Ball, which was soon followed by a failed Force Palm attempt from Lucario, followed by a {{m|Circle Throw}}, which sent Pikachu flying high into the air. Despite of the thretening situation, Pikachu was able to land smoothly and hit Lucario with a fierce Thunderbolt, followed by an Iron Tail, which was countered by Lucario's own {{m|Copycat}}-Iron Tail. At this point, both Pokémon were struggling to get on their feet, which they eventually managed to do with their Trainers' encouragements. Drawing out the last drops of their strengths, Pikachu and Lucario fired another blasts of Electro Ball and Aura Sphere, respectively. This time, however, the collision didn't end in a draw, as Aura Sphere overpowered tired Pikachu's Electro Ball, and the {{type|Fighting}} move hit the Electric Mouse Pokémon, knocking him out and thus eliminating Ash from the Vertress Conference, placing him in top 8.

==Personality and characteristics==
[[File:Pikachu Bad Mood.png|thumb|250px|right|Pikachu in a bad mood]]
Pikachu is extremely loyal to Ash, and while he is not always immediately trusting of strangers, he is generally friendly to humans and Pokémon alike. He acted as a guardian and big brother to [[Misty's Togetic|Misty's Togepi]], and has been seen mediating and even breaking up fights among other Pokémon, such as in ''[[PK01|Pikachu's Vacation]]''. In ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'', Pikachu, {{MTR}}, and Meowth's clone were the only Pokémon not to participate in the giant battle; Pikachu stood motionless as his [[Pikachutwo|clone]] repeatedly slapped his face. Contrary to his distrusting nature, Pikachu took a liking to Misty very early in the series, and he has retained this liking of Misty throughout the series, such as when he was very happy to see her in ''[[AG132|The Scheme Team]]''.

[[File:Pikachu loves ketchup.png|200px|thumb|left|Pikachu and his love of ketchup]]
However, even Pikachu has had exceptions to this rule. In ''[[EP086|Pikachu Re-Volts]]'', Pikachu was controlled by Butch and Cassidy, which caused him to become evil and disobey Ash's commands. During the Hoenn saga, Pikachu [[AG089|temporarily developed amnesia]] and sided with [[Team Rocket trio|Team Rocket]] for a while. Later within the same series, Pikachu [[AG097|was]] [[AG098|possessed]] by the {{Key|III|Red Orb}} and controlled by {{p|Groudon}}, nearly causing a disaster. On several occasions, Pikachu has developed an "electric flu" causing him to become overcharged, and extremely powerful. During these instances, Pikachu will sometimes accidentally let off electric outbursts which can be set off on anyone, including Ash. In all of these cases, Pikachu did not intentionally mean harm upon anyone.

As shown in a handful of episodes, the first being ''[[EP042|Showdown at Dark City]]'', Pikachu has a special fondness for ketchup, but he will eat and enjoy almost any other human or Pokémon food. A running joke in the anime also seems to be the destruction of a female character's [[bicycle|bike]] with one of Pikachu's {{m|Thunderbolt}}s at the beginning of each series, which then causes her to {{ashfr|follow Ash}} for the remainder of the series. This has happened to {{an|Misty}}, {{an|May}}, and {{an|Dawn}} so far, but did not happen to {{an|Iris}}, since she doesn't have a bike. Instead, Pikachu shocked Iris herself.
{{bulbanews|Personality & Development: Ash's Pikachu}}
Pikachu, like his Trainer, is always happy to battle. He often tries his very best, but when he loses, he doesn't complain or feel bad about himself, especially when Ash reassures him. Ash and Pikachu are almost identical personality-wise, and thus are the perfect match for one another, and most others agree, with the exception of [[Burgundy]], who in ''[[BW019|A Connoisseur's Revenge!]]'' said that Ash had a terrible relationship with all of his Pokémon, though this is more due to her inexperience in determining relationship.

*'''Leer''' was first seen in ''[[EP009|The School of Hard Knocks]]''. When [[Giselle]] called for {{p|Cubone}} to use Leer, Ash told Pikachu to "Leer right back" by making funny faces. He later used Leer in ''[[EP150|Hour of the Houndour]]''; however, this was the actual move, albeit, an [[Anime move errors|anime move error]] still.
*An attack where Pikachu stored electricity in his tail similar to {{m|Slam}} was used to defeat [[Lt. Surge's Raichu]] in ''[[EP014|Electric Shock Showdown]]''. A similar move, referred to as "Shocking Tail" by the MC, was used to defeat {{OBP|Drake|Orange League}}'s {{p|Ditto}} in ''[[EP111|Hello, Pummelo!]]''.
*'''Rocket Punch''' was a move that Pikachu used while "boxing" {{ka|Anthony}}'s {{p|Hitmonchan}} in ''[[EP029|The Punchy Pokémon]]''. Pikachu glowed red and shot off his boxing gloves, leaving off a trail of smoke. Once the smoke disappears, Pikachu still has his boxing gloves on and flies towards Hitmonchan at high speed.
*'''[[Moves not in the Pokémon games|Thunder Armor]]''' was a one-time technique in the episode ''[[AG100|Solid as a Solrock]]'', Pikachu is seen using Thunder on himself while riding [[Ash's Swellow]]. This increased their attack power greatly, and they easily overpowered their opponents.
*'''Spin''', originally made by {{an|Dawn}} and first used by her Piplup and Buneary, was also used by Turtwig and Aipom to avoid attacks in the episode ''[[DP018|O'er the Rampardos We Watched!]]'', where he was able beat Roark and obtain the {{Badge|Coal}}.
*'''Swift-Quick Attack''' was a combination of {{TP|Dawn|Aipom|Ambipom}}'s twirling {{m|Swift}} and Pikachu's {{m|Quick Attack}} that was used in ''[[DP041|A Stand-Up Sit-Down!]]''. Aipom would use a twirling Swift that spins in the air and then Pikachu would jump in the Swift with Quick Attack and as he runs, the Swift stars would be surrounding the white light from the Quick Attack.
[[File:Ash Pikachu {{#switch: {{#expr: {{#time: U}} mod 2}}|0=Volt Tail|1=Counter Shield}}.png|thumb|right|250px|Pikachu using {{#switch: {{#expr: {{#time: U}} mod 2}}|0=Volt Tail|1=Counter Shield}}]]
*'''Volt Tail''', a combination of {{m|Volt Tackle}} and {{m|Iron Tail}}, was used in ''[[DP074|Pika and Goliath!]]'' against [[Sho]]'s {{p|Raichu}} and once again in ''[[DP189|The Semi-Final Frontier!]]'' against {{si|Tobias}}'s {{p|Latios}}.
*'''[[Counter Shield]]''' can be used by Pikachu by utilizing {{m|Thunderbolt}}, similar to [[Ash's Buizel]] and {{AP|Infernape}} who can do the technique with their own moves.
*'''Hydro Volt Tackle''' is used as a finishing blow against {{TRT}} in ''[[DP191|Memories are Made of Bliss!]]''. It is a combination of Pikachu's {{m|Volt Tackle}} and [[Dawn's Piplup]]'s {{m|Hydro Pump}} creating a massive Electric-Water shot that sent Team Rocket blasting off.
*'''Thunderbolt-Electro Ball''' is a combination used to power up {{m|Electro Ball}}, first seen in ''[[BW038|Movie Time! Zorua in "The Legend of the Pokémon Knight"!]]''. Ash has Pikachu use Electro Ball, then tells him to use Thunderbolt on it to significantly increase the size and power of Electro Ball.
*'''Massive Electro Ball''' was a stronger variation of Electro Ball that Pikachu used in ''[[BW097|Unova's Survival Crisis!]]''. Pikachu got a hit from {{p|Thundurus}}'s {{m|Thunder}} attack while defending {{an|Iris}}. Later, when Ash told Pikachu use Electro Ball, the supercharged attack grew into massive proportions, thus inflicting great damage on the [[Abyssal Ruins]] after it was launched.
*'''Electro Iron Tail''' was a move combination Pikachu used to defeat [[Trip's Serperior]] in ''[[BW104|Mission: Defeat Your Rival!]]''. First Pikachu forms an Electro Ball on his tail, and then uses Iron Tail, slamming both the Electro Ball and Iron Tail into the opponent at the same time, dealing a notable amount of damage.

==In the games==
{{main|Red's Pikachu (game)}}
{{bulbanews|Satoshi's Pikachu to be distributed via Wi-Fi}}
{{bulbanews|Toys 'R' Us to distribute Ash's Pikachu}}
In the main series, {{ga|Red's Pikachu}} is noticeably based on Ash's Pikachu: not only does {{ga|Red}} receive it from Professor Oak after his rival, Oak's grandson, takes the last starter Pokémon in {{game|Yellow}}, but it [[walking Pokémon|follows Red around]] rather than being kept in a Poké Ball. In [[Generation II]] and {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, Pikachu is the highest-leveled member of Red's team when he is encountered at Mt. Silver, and the highest leveled Pokémon owned by a Trainer in the entire series excluding battle arenas. His moves, notably in HeartGold and SoulSilver, are the four moves most used by Ash's Pikachu at the time of the games' release.

A Japanese event distributed an in-game representation of Ash's Pikachu via Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection and at participating Japanese {{wp|McDonald}}'s locations which was held from July 15th through August 10, 2010. This Pikachu was distributed at participating American {{wp|Toys 'R' Us}} locations from January 30 to February 13, 2011, and Canadian Toys 'R' Us locations from February 9 to February 20, 2011. Unlike Ash's Pikachu, this Pikachu does not reject the Thunderstone, and can be evolved at any time.
Pikachu was one of {{Ash}}'s three Pokémon in {{g|Puzzle League}}. The Pikachu in the Super Smash Bros. series may be based on Ash's Pikachu.

==In the manga==
===In the Ash and Pikachu manga===
Ash's Pikachu is a starring character in the [[Ash and Pikachu]] {{pkmn|manga}} series, which is based on the [[Johto]] saga of the Pokémon anime.

===In The Electric Tale of Pikachu manga===
[[File:Ash Pikachu EToP.png|thumb|right|250px|Ash's Pikachu in The Electric Tale of Pikachu]]
Ash's Pikachu is a starring character in the {{pkmn|manga}} series
[[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]], which is loosely based on the Pokémon anime. Pikachu appears in every chapter of the manga.

Like in the anime, Pikachu was [[Ash Ketchum (EToP)|Ash]]'s first Pokémon. However, Ash did not receive Pikachu from {{an|Professor Oak}} - instead, he finds Pikachu under the floorboards of his home, chewing on wires to eat the electricity. His [[Delia Ketchum|mother]] asks him to take Pikachu outside, but when [[Gary Oak]] taunts Ash about how he has not yet become a [[Pokémon Trainer]], Ash decides to keep Pikachu as his first Pokémon.

Like in the anime, Pikachu was originally unwilling to obey Ash, but after Ash protects Pikachu from a flock of wild {{p|Spearow}} and a {{AP|Fearow}}, Pikachu gains respect for Ash, and after Ash defeats Brock, he is named Jean Luc Pikachu (Japanese '''ジャン＝リュックピカチュウ''' ''Jean-Luc Pikachu'').

Later on, when Ash is in a Gym battle with Misty, Pikachu is petrified by the sight of her Gyarados and does not battle, while in his Gym battle with Sabrina, it is easily bested by her Abra.

* For [[DP013]], [[Professor Oak's lecture]] is about {{Ash}}'s Pikachu. He writes this [[Pokémon senryū]] about him: パートナー　サトシとピカチュウ　いいかんじ ''Partners Satoshi and Pikachu: a pleasant feeling''.
* Pikachu was the first of {{Ash}}'s Pokémon to habitually disobey him. Other Pokémon that would do so, and are better remembered for their disobedience than Pikachu, are {{AP|Primeape}} and {{AP|Charizard}}.
* Pikachu is the second Pokémon in the entire {{pkmn|anime}} series to have managed to defeat a [[legendary Pokémon]], which he did by defeating {{FB|Pyramid King|Brandon}}'s {{DL|Brandon's Regis|Regice}} in ''[[AG190|Pace - The Final Frontier!]]''.
** Pikachu is also the only Pokémon in the entire series that has been able to defeat two [[legendary Pokémon]], being able to take out Brandon's {{p|Regice}} in ''[[AG190|Pace - The Final Frontier!]]'' and {{si|Tobias}}'s {{p|Latios}} in ''[[DP189|The Semi-Final Frontier!]]'', although in the latter case, it was a sacrificial win, as Pikachu knocked himself out in the process.
* In ''[[DP142|Where No Togepi Has Gone Before!]]'' it was confirmed that Pikachu is [[gender|male]]. Voice actress [[Ikue Ohtani]] stated prior to this episode that the writers had intended to keep Pikachu's gender ambiguous so the fanbase can connect with him more easily.{{fact}}
** Pikachu's [[gender]] had already been assumed male in the dub, where male pronouns such as "he" were used to refer to Pikachu.
** The first time Pikachu's gender difference was pointed out was in ''[[BW098|Beauties Battling for Pride and Prestige!]]'', where Pikachu was disguised as a female by sticking a heart-shaped piece of paper on his tail.

* ''[[DP170|An Elite Coverup!]]'' has been the only time when {{Ash}} does not use Pikachu against an [[Elite Four]] member.
* Pikachu seems to have a talent for mimicking Pokémon, as seen from his performance during [[DP033|a cosplay competition]]. He will occasionally use pantomime to specify what he is talking about. He can contort his face and his ears to imitate {{Ash}}, his {{AP|Turtwig|Torterra}}, {{TP|Jessie|Wobbuffet}}, among others. This capability of Pikachu's was also featured during part of the credits of ''[[PK12|Gotta Dance]]''.
* Pikachu is the first evolved Pokémon Ash obtained, although at the time Ash obtained Pikachu, he did not yet have a {{p|Pichu|pre-evolved form}}.

===Pikachu's language===
[[File:Pikachu as ash.png|200px|thumb|right|Pikachu imitating {{Ash}} in ''[[EP110|The Stun Spore Detour]]'' ]]
Some of [[Pokémon language|Pikachu's speech]] is consistent enough that it seems that some phrases actually mean something. (In ''[[DP115|Stealing The Conversation!]]'', {{TRT}} refers to this language as "PikaSpeak," however, this most likely isn't official.) For instance, Pikachu always uses "Pikapi" when referring to Ash (notice that it sounds somewhat similar to "Satoshi"). Other speech includes:
* Pi-Kachu: He says this during the sponsor spots in the original Japanese.
* Pikachu-Pi: ''{{an|Misty|Kasumi}}'' (Misty)
* Pika-Chu: ''{{an|Brock|Takeshi}}'' (Brock), ''[[Iris's Axew|Kibago]]'' (Axew)

* Pi-kachu: ''[[Dawn's Piplup|Pochama]]'' (Piplup)
* PiPi-kachu: ''[[Team Rocket trio|Rocket-dan]]'' (Team Rocket).
* Pi-Pikachu: ''[[Gotta catch 'em all!|Get da ze!]]'' He says this after Ash wins a Badge, catches a new Pokémon or anything similar.
** Pikachu may not be the only one to use this phrase, as other Pokémon do this as well. For example, when Iris caught Emolga, Axew said Ax-Axew (Ki-Kibago in the japanese).
* Chaa: Anything he says happily or excitedly.

Tao trio

{{incomplete|needs=Needs a (potentially) manga section}}

[[File:Tao trio.png|thumb|250px|Zekrom, Reshiram, Kyurem, Black Kyurem, and White Kyurem]]
The '''Tao trio''', sometimes called the '''Tao dragon trio''' or the '''energy trio''', is the collective term used to refer to the three powerful [[legendary Pokémon]] of the [[Unova]] Region: {{p|Reshiram}}, {{p|Zekrom}}, and {{p|Kyurem}}. According to Unova myths, the [[legendary trio]] was created during the war plaguing the region.

Much like members of other legendary trios, the three Pokémon have similar appearances. Each has {{t|Dragon}} as their primary type. Both Reshiram and Zekrom have a base stat total of 680 while Kyurem's is 660 in its standard forme; however, both Black Kyurem and White Kyurem have a base stat total of 700.

Each of the members of the trio has control of their own types and sides. Reshiram represents the concept of {{wp|yin and yang|yang}} and controls {{t|Fire}}, Zekrom represents the concept of {{wp|yin and yang|yin}} and controls {{t|Electric|Thunder}}, and Kyurem represents the concept of {{wp|Wuji (philosophy)|wuji}} (the absence of yin and yang) and controls {{t|Ice}}; in its alternate formes it can also control Reshiram's fire and Zekrom's thunder to some extent.

==Myths==
[[File:Reshiram Zekrom artwork.png|thumb|Artwork featuring Reshiram and Zekrom]]The mythologies of the trio are implied to be connected, despite having no true relation. The origins of Zekrom and Reshiram are told in legends, as they were once a single powerful Dragon Pokémon used by twin heroes in order to create the Unova region. But the brothers each sought something different in life—truth for the older brother and ideals for the younger—and they began to argue, then fight, over whose side was right. The single dragon, in response, split into two Pokémon: Reshiram, who sided with the older twin, and Zekrom, who sided with the younger twin.

The two dragons were equally matched as they battled and neither conquered the other. As a result, the brothers set aside their differences and equally declared that there was no right side, either. But the sons of the heroes resumed the fight, and Reshiram and Zekrom destroyed the region with their fire and lightning powers. They subsequently disappeared afterward.

At the beginning of {{v2|Black and White|s}}, one of them resides in [[Dragonspiral Tower]], who is called upon by [[N]] to create his ideal world. The {{player}} is tasked with finding the other dragon in its corresponding stone ({{DL|List of key items in Generation V|Light Stone}} in Black and {{DL|List of key items in Generation V|Dark Stone}} in White) and revive it to resolve the history the twins began in the past.


Kyurem's origins were believed to be much different than those of the other two. The third dragon came down to the [[Pokémon world]] from an icy meteor and crashed into a place called [[Giant Chasm]]. An old legend in [[Lacunosa Town]] describing Kyurem claims that it would take people and Pokémon away from the town and eat them; this is why the town is now surrounded by a giant wall, and why none of its residents set foot outside their homes after dark. During {{v2|Black 2 and White 2|s}} however, an NPC claims that this story of Kyurem's origin might not be true. [[Drayden]] tells the player character that when the original dragon split into Reshiram and Zekrom, a third dragon was "created", or "leftover": Kyurem. The Pokédex entry for Kyurem also states that it is waiting for a hero to fill in the missing parts of its body with "truth and ideals", implying that Kyurem wishes to reunite with Reshiram and Zekrom. This is partially completed in-game with the creation of its [[Form differences#Kyurem|alternate formes]], Black Kyurem and White Kyurem, created by Kyurem fusing with Reshiram or Zekrom (but not both). The description for the [[DNA Splicers]] confirms this, stating that Kyurem and the second dragon were once one.

==Trivia==
* {{wp|Yin and yang}} are dependent fundamentals in {{wp|Taoism}}, which Reshiram and Zekrom are directly connected to. Reshiram and Zekrom's species names in Japanese are "White Yang" and "Black Yin," respectively, and the names of their battle music are also respectively "Blazing White Yang" and "Electrifying Black Yin." Kyurem, on the other hand, is an analogy to {{wp|wuji}}—a separate concept of Taoism—under the assumption that the absence of the warmth Reshiram and Zekrom generate (and thus their conceptual yin and yang) equals the infinite absence wuji implies. Wuji is also said to be represented by an empty circle; Kyurem's species name is the Boundary Pokémon.
** The Tao trio may also relate to The {{wp|Three Pure Ones}}.
* It is so far the only legendary trio with no known [[trio master]] as of yet.
* This legendary trio is the first since the [[legendary birds]] to return to the three types being {{t|Fire}}, {{t|Electric}}, and {{t|Ice}}, even though these types are secondary to the Dragon type.
** Additionally, each member of the trio learns one aspect of the move {{m|Tri Attack}}.
** Each of the three has a [[List of Pokémon with unique type combinations|type combination unique to itself]].
** Reshiram's blue eyes represent Kyurem's ice, Kyurem's yellow eyes represent Zekrom's electricity, and Zekrom's red eyes represent Reshiram's fire.
* Although the Tao trio are the [[version mascot]]s of the [[Generation V]] games, none of the members is the mascot of the game matching its [[List of Pokémon by color|Pokédex color]]. Reshiram is the mascot of ''Pokémon Black'', Zekrom is the mascot of ''Pokémon White'', and although Kyurem's alternate formes match the colors of ''Black 2'' and ''White 2'' they are still listed as gray due to its base form.
* Reshiram, Zekrom, and Kyurem are the only legendary Pokémon to have more than one [[signature move]], along with {{p|Keldeo}}.
** Kyurem possesses the most signature moves out of all the members of the Tao trio. It has access to {{m|Glaciate}} in its default state, {{m|Freeze Shock}} as Black Kyurem, and {{m|Ice Burn}} as White Kyurem.
* Reshiram and Zekrom have the highest catch rate of any legendary Pokémon with a base stat total above 600, with 45. This is because the player is forced to catch them to proceed the storyline in Black and White.
* All three members learn the move {{m|Imprison}} twice: once at level 8 and again at level 64.
* Each member of the Tao trio has a secondary Sugimori artwork depicting their Abilities activated. Kyurem has two of them, one for each alternate form.
* The Tao trio have their own battle transition. A few lights will gather in the center of the screen, and a swirl vortex will zoom in from the center.
* Like the [[legendary beasts]] in {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, each member of the trio shares battle music that is slightly remixed to match their secondary typing.
** Zekrom's theme has a crackling thunder effect and Reshiram's theme has a burning fire effect. While Kyurem's theme does not have a similar special effect, it has an extra slapped bass part playing in the background.
* All three members of the Tao trio can [[Talking Pokémon|speak telepathically]] in the anime; they, along with the [[Swords of Justice]], are the only legendary trios to have this ability for all three members.

== Anime ==

The first time any member of the Tao trio made an anime appearance was in [[In the Shadow of Zekrom]], when Zekrom appeared before Ash and Pikachu inside of a thunder cloud, however, this was only a silhouette. Zekrom was not fully seen until [[M14|White-Victini and Zekrom]]. Reshiram also debuted in this movie under the control of [[Damon]], while Zekrom is under the control of Ash. Zekrom and Reshiram battle throughout the second half of the movie, finally making peace after the Pillars of Protection are destroyed and the Dragon Force is launched into space. As the movie closes, Zekrom and Reshiram are seen flying away over the ocean, and make a brief appearance in the credits. Kyurem makes it's anime debut in [[M15|Kyurem VS the Sword of Justice]], in which it is summoned by {{p|Keldeo}}, who wishes to challenge it in hopes of proving to the [[Swords of Justice]] that it is worthy of the title as one of the Swords of Justice. Kyurem brings Keldeo to a quick defeat after slicing off it's horn with {{m|Shadow Claw}}, thus paralyzing it with fear. Kyurem flies away, soon to encounter our heroes on a train bound for [[Roshan City]]. The Pokémon attacks the group, however, it is forced to flee after the train enters a tunnel. Later on in the movie, it is revealed that Kyurem now has the help of it's counterparts, [[Black Kyurem]] and [[White Kyurem]].

The '''Tao trio''', sometimes called the '''Tao dragon trio''' or the '''energy trio''', is the collective term used to refer to the three powerful [[legendary Pokémon]] of the [[Unova]] Region: {{p|Reshiram}}, {{p|Zekrom}}, and {{p|Kyurem}}. According to Unova myths, the [[legendary trio]] was created during the war plaguing the region.

Much like members of other legendary trios, the three Pokémon have similar appearances. Each has {{t|Dragon}} as their primary type. Both Reshiram and Zekrom have a base stat total of 680 while Kyurem's is 660 in its standard forme; however, both Black Kyurem and White Kyurem have a base stat total of 700.

Each of the members of the trio has control of their own types and sides. Reshiram represents the concept of {{wp|yin and yang|yang}} and controls {{t|Fire}}, Zekrom represents the concept of {{wp|yin and yang|yin}} and controls {{t|Electric|Thunder}}, and Kyurem represents the concept of {{wp|Wuji (philosophy)|wuji}} (the absence of yin and yang) and controls {{t|Ice}}; in its alternate formes it can also control Reshiram's fire and Zekrom's thunder to some extent.

==Myths==
[[File:Reshiram Zekrom artwork.png|thumb|Artwork featuring Reshiram and Zekrom]]The mythologies of the trio are implied to be connected, despite having no true relation. The origins of Zekrom and Reshiram are told in legends, as they were once a single powerful Dragon Pokémon used by twin heroes in order to create the Unova region. But the brothers each sought something different in life—truth for the older brother and ideals for the younger—and they began to argue, then fight, over whose side was right. The single dragon, in response, split into two Pokémon: Reshiram, who sided with the older twin, and Zekrom, who sided with the younger twin.

The two dragons were equally matched as they battled and neither conquered the other. As a result, the brothers set aside their differences and equally declared that there was no right side, either. But the sons of the heroes resumed the fight, and Reshiram and Zekrom destroyed the region with their fire and lightning powers. They subsequently disappeared afterward.

At the beginning of {{v2|Black and White|s}}, one of them resides in [[Dragonspiral Tower]], who is called upon by [[N]] to create his ideal world. The {{player}} is tasked with finding the other dragon in its corresponding stone ({{DL|List of key items in Generation V|Light Stone}} in Black and {{DL|List of key items in Generation V|Dark Stone}} in White) and revive it to resolve the history the twins began in the past.


Kyurem's origins were believed to be much different than those of the other two. The third dragon came down to the [[Pokémon world]] from an icy meteor and crashed into a place called [[Giant Chasm]]. An old legend in [[Lacunosa Town]] describing Kyurem claims that it would take people and Pokémon away from the town and eat them; this is why the town is now surrounded by a giant wall, and why none of its residents set foot outside their homes after dark. During {{v2|Black 2 and White 2|s}} however, an NPC claims that this story of Kyurem's origin might not be true. [[Drayden]] tells the player character that when the original dragon split into Reshiram and Zekrom, a third dragon was "created", or "leftover": Kyurem. The Pokédex entry for Kyurem also states that it is waiting for a hero to fill in the missing parts of its body with "truth and ideals", implying that Kyurem wishes to reunite with Reshiram and Zekrom. This is partially completed in-game with the creation of its [[Form differences#Kyurem|alternate formes]], Black Kyurem and White Kyurem, created by Kyurem fusing with Reshiram or Zekrom (but not both). The description for the [[DNA Splicers]] confirms this, stating that Kyurem and the second dragon were once one.

==Trivia==
* {{wp|Yin and yang}} are dependent fundamentals in {{wp|Taoism}}, which Reshiram and Zekrom are directly connected to. Reshiram and Zekrom's species names in Japanese are "White Yang" and "Black Yin," respectively, and the names of their battle music are also respectively "Blazing White Yang" and "Electrifying Black Yin." Kyurem, on the other hand, is an analogy to {{wp|wuji}}—a separate concept of Taoism—under the assumption that the absence of the warmth Reshiram and Zekrom generate (and thus their conceptual yin and yang) equals the infinite absence wuji implies. Wuji is also said to be represented by an empty circle; Kyurem's species name is the Boundary Pokémon.
** The Tao trio may also relate to The {{wp|Three Pure Ones}}.
* It is so far the only legendary trio with no known [[trio master]] as of yet.
* This legendary trio is the first since the [[legendary birds]] to return to the three types being {{t|Fire}}, {{t|Electric}}, and {{t|Ice}}, even though these types are secondary to the Dragon type.
** Additionally, each member of the trio learns one aspect of the move {{m|Tri Attack}}.
** Each of the three has a [[List of Pokémon with unique type combinations|type combination unique to itself]].
** Reshiram's blue eyes represent Kyurem's ice, Kyurem's yellow eyes represent Zekrom's electricity, and Zekrom's red eyes represent Reshiram's fire.
* Although the Tao trio are the [[version mascot]]s of the [[Generation V]] games, none of the members is the mascot of the game matching its [[List of Pokémon by color|Pokédex color]]. Reshiram is the mascot of ''Pokémon Black'', Zekrom is the mascot of ''Pokémon White'', and although Kyurem's alternate formes match the colors of ''Black 2'' and ''White 2'' they are still listed as gray due to its base form.
* Reshiram, Zekrom, and Kyurem are the only legendary Pokémon to have more than one [[signature move]], along with {{p|Keldeo}}.
** Kyurem possesses the most signature moves out of all the members of the Tao trio. It has access to {{m|Glaciate}} in its default state, {{m|Freeze Shock}} as Black Kyurem, and {{m|Ice Burn}} as White Kyurem.
* Reshiram and Zekrom have the highest catch rate of any legendary Pokémon with a base stat total above 600, with 45. This is because the player is forced to catch them to proceed the storyline in Black and White.
* All three members learn the move {{m|Imprison}} twice: once at level 8 and again at level 64.
* Each member of the Tao trio has a secondary Sugimori artwork depicting their Abilities activated. Kyurem has two of them, one for each alternate form.
* The Tao trio have their own battle transition. A few lights will gather in the center of the screen, and a swirl vortex will zoom in from the center.
* Like the [[legendary beasts]] in {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, each member of the trio shares battle music that is slightly remixed to match their secondary typing.
** Zekrom's theme has a crackling thunder effect and Reshiram's theme has a burning fire effect. While Kyurem's theme does not have a similar special effect, it has an extra slapped bass part playing in the background.
* All three members of the Tao trio can [[Talking Pokémon|speak telepathically]] in the anime; they, along with the [[Swords of Justice]], are the only legendary trios to have this ability for all three members.

== Anime ==

The first time any member of the Tao trio made an anime appearance was in [[In the Shadow of Zekrom]], when Zekrom appeared before Ash and Pikachu inside of a thunder cloud, however, this was only a silhouette. Zekrom was not fully seen until [[M14|White-Victini and Zekrom]]. Reshiram also debuted in this movie under the control of [[Damon]], while Zekrom is under the control of Ash. Zekrom and Reshiram battle throughout the second half of the movie, finally making peace after the Pillars of Protection are destroyed and the Dragon Force is launched into space. As the movie closes, Zekrom and Reshiram are seen flying away over the ocean, and make a brief appearance in the credits. Kyurem makes it's anime debut in [[M15|Kyurem VS the Sword of Justice]], in which it is summoned by {{p|Keldeo}}, who wishes to challenge it in hopes of proving to the [[Swords of Justice]] that it is worthy of the title as one of the Swords of Justice. Kyurem brings Keldeo to a quick defeat after slicing off it's horn with {{m|Shadow Claw}}, thus paralyzing it with fear. Kyurem flies away, soon to encounter our heroes on a train bound for [[Roshan City]]. The Pokémon attacks the group, however, it is forced to flee after the train enters a tunnel. Later on in the movie, it is revealed that Kyurem now has the help of it's counterparts, [[Black Kyurem]] and [[White Kyurem]].

'''Reshiram''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''レシラム''' ''Reshiram'') is a dual-type {{2t|Dragon|Fire}} [[legendary Pokémon]].

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

Reshiram is the [[version mascot]] of [[Pokémon Black and White Versions|Pokémon Black]], appearing on the boxart.

Along with {{p|Zekrom}} and {{p|Kyurem}}, it is a member of the [[Tao trio]], which exists in the legends of the [[Unova]] region.

{{p|Kyurem}} will become [[Form differences#Kyurem|White Kyurem]] upon using the [[List of key items in Generation V#DNA Splicers|DNA Splicers]] to fuse with Reshiram.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Reshiram is a white-colored, bipedal Pokémon of seemingly draconian and mammalian basis, with some of the avian features of feathers. Reshiram's snout is mammalian in appearance, most resembling something vulpine or even canine, or possibly even a goat. Streaming out from the upper side of the snout and outward from the head is a long, voluminous wispy mane, the top of which forms a spike or small head-crest of some sort. Reshiram's face is fringed with spiky features, with one small, pointed extension of it below the chin.

Reshiram's neck is long and slender, with a collar-esque protrusion of fur or feathers seeming held in place by two somewhat glass-like neck-bands, with similar bands present on the "wrists" of Reshiram's forelimbs. Reshiram's forelimbs are expansive, wing-like appendages or some unusual sort of wings themselves; the beginning portions of the limbs are slender and generally conventionally arm-like, but flare out into a more wing-like, feathered section farther on the limb, sporting four claws on the leading edge. On Reshiram's chest is a feathered feature, with the lower portion protruding outward to a point. Long feathers spread out from Reshiram's thighs, its feet with large claws—three in front, and the one in the back positioned at an angle somewhat like high heels. Reshiram's tail is a thick mass of a center-most plume and ribbon-like secondary extensions, surrounded by two large bands. This tail is based on an electric {{wp|turbine}}.

====Gender differences====
Reshiram is a genderless species.
[[File:643Reshiram-Activated.png|thumb|right|Reshiram's tail turbine activated.]]

===Special abilities===
Reshiram has a jet engine-like tail which it uses to accelerate itself when flying in high speeds. It is able to send flames from its tail into the air to incinerate everything around it. It can move the atmosphere and change the world's weather by flaring its tail. Reshiram is the only Pokémon that can learn {{m|Fusion Flare}} and {{m|Blue Flare}}, though {{p|Victini}} can have the former from several events, and Kyurem can learn it after merging with Reshiram. Also, If Reshiram uses Fusion Flare immediately after being hit by Fusion Bolt, its tail turbine activates and power is doubled.

===Behavior===
In a Unova myth about the twin heroes, as Reshiram sided with the older brother who sought truth, it firmly believes in truth.

==Trivia==
[[File:Reshiram and Zekrom units 2010.png|250x|thumb|Reshiram and Zekrom at Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade in 2010]]
* Reshiram was first revealed simultaneously alongside {{p|Zekrom}} on both the official English and Japanese Pokémon websites on May 28, 2010. This makes them the first two Pokémon simultaneously revealed worldwide.
* No other Pokémon has the same [[type]] [[List of Pokémon with unique type combinations|combination]] as Reshiram - Dragon and Fire.
** Due to being a {{type|Dragon}} Pokémon as well, Reshiram is the only {{type|Fire}} Pokémon that is not weak to {{t|Water}}.
* Reshiram has the highest {{stat|Special Attack}} of all {{type|Fire}} Pokémon. Tied with {{p|Ho-Oh}}, Reshiram has the highest base stat total of all {{type|Fire}} Pokémon.
* Reshiram is required to be caught in [[Pokémon Black and White Versions|Pokémon Black]] in order to progress on the story and battle [[N]]. [[Escape|Running away]] from it or defeating it will appear as if nothing happened; also, defeating it does not give any [[experience]] points. It and {{p|Zekrom}} are the only legendary Pokémon in the [[main series]] games that are required to be caught to progress the story. However, it does not have to be caught if the player has a full [[party]] and [[PC]]. Instead, it will later appear at [[Dragonspiral Tower]] (but it still does not give any experience points if it is defeated)..
* Due to its Ability, no combination of types and Abilities is resistant to both types of Reshiram's [[Same-type attack bonus|STAB]] attacks.
* Reshiram, as well as {{p|Zekrom}}, made an appearance alongside {{p|Pikachu}} and a [[Poké Ball]] in 2010's {{wp|Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade}}.

===Origin===
Reshiram and its counterpart {{p|Zekrom}} are based on the concept of {{wp|yin and yang}} in {{wp|Taoism}}, directly referenced by Reshiram's Japanese species: the White Yang Pokémon. According to [[Ken Sugimori]], Reshiram has a light, airy, ladylike design to contrast to Zekrom's tough and manly look (despite this, it speaks with a distinctly male voice in [[M14|both versions of the 14th movie]]). Its tail, the center point of its design, is based on an electric {{wp|turbine}}.<ref>[http://pokemonblackandwhite.net/?p=1641 Interview with Ken Sugimori and development team]</ref> Appearance wise, it resembles a mix of animals, including a bird, a {{wp|canid}} such as a fox or a wolf, a {{wp|pterosaur}}, and a {{wp|Wyvern}}. The crest on its head and its feathers resemble smoke trails as well as white fire, which can burn up to temperatures of 1,500 °C (2,730 °F). The mythology about how Zekrom and Reshiram came about, regarding two brothers infighting, also bears some similarities to {{wp|Romulus and Remus}} or {{wp|Cain and Abel}}. There is also same resemblance to the Zoroastrian belief of two equally powerful deities, one representing light and truth and the other representing lies and darkness. In this case, Reshiram can resemble {{wp|Ahura Mazda}}, due to its light and winged appearance and the fact that it sided with truth, but also the fact that Reshiram is a {{type|Fire}} Pokémon, and Ahura Mazda was associated with fire.

====Name origin====
Reshiram is derived from 白 ''shiro'' (white). [[Ken Sugimori]] has also stated that ''Re'' was used because it was a softer sound than {{p|Zekrom}}'s ''Ze'', as Reshiram is a less physically powerful character.<ref>[[Official Nintendo Magazine]] UK, Issue 65</ref>

Charizard101: /* Error in Misty's Hints */ new section

Oh yeah, if the whole "yanking Brock away from some hot dame" thing is supposed to lead to a shipping; does that mean Max and Brock are going steady?-Pokencyclopedia
:Yes. [[User:Ketsuban|Ketsuban]] 17:28, 6 Aug 2005 (CDT)

This entire article needs to be cleaned up. I see a lot of rambling and unnecessary information; please clean it up and trim the fat. - {{u|Swifty}}
: You could say the same for the whole namespace... really, can't these people put aside their convictions and write neutrally? I guess not. - [[User:Zhen Lin|振霖]][[User talk:Zhen Lin|T]] 04:47, 10 April 2006 (CDT)

== Error in Misty's Hints ==

In Misty's Hints, it says that in The Misty Mermaid "When Ash suggests that the Mermaid on the poster looks like Misty (whilst Brock is still gawking) she bears a expression on her face which can best described as embarrassment." This seems more like a hint from Misty that would relate to PokéShipping, not GymShipping. ([[User:Charizard101|Charizard101]] ([[User talk:Charizard101|talk]]) 02:40, 12 November 2012 (UTC))

Talk:Charla

2012-11-03T19:07:16Z

Charizard101: /* Deletion */

why is it confirmed that charla is a female? no one said {{u|LegendaryFlame}}
:Her Japanese name is Lisa, and she wears a bow. [[User:Porygon-Z|'''Por''']][[User:Porygon-Z/Trade|'''ygo''']][[User_talk:Porygon-Z|'''n-Z''']] 14:35, 29 July 2008 (UTC)
::Actually, I believe Liza said it herself. --[[Special:Contributions/Kenji-girl|☆]][[Tracey Sketchit|'''ケンジ''']][[User:Kenji-girl|'''ガール''']] 20:13, 29 July 2008 (UTC)

Why does it say Charla's Female but Ash's is unknown? ([[User:GT4GTR|GT4GTR]] 09:23, 10 November 2008 (UTC))
:Ok that is wrong in so many ways Ash's Charizard has to be a male otherwise Charla would never have fallen for him, She wears a bow and even has a ladies name in both the original and the dub, could there be any more evidence short of them telling you themselves. You would not see a male charizard going around with a bow on it's head and since she has fallen for Ash's Charizard I think it is a male unless Charla is a lesbein and I don't think they allow that kind of thing on pokemon. Sheesh whoever thinks Charla is not a female needs a reality check, same goes for people who think Charizard is a female. [[User:WolfMan of Light|De Wolfy is here]] 15:19, 24 November 2008 (UTC)

== Caught at ==

Is it confermed that Charla was caught in [[Johto]]? I don't remember anyone mentioning it.--'''[[User:Misty-may-dawn rulz|Misty-May-Dawn]] [[User talk:Misty-may-dawn rulz|rulz]]''' 10:37, 9 August 2008 (UTC)

== Who changed the picture ==

That picture sucks. You can barely see Charla. It's centered on Liza. I was going to change it back to the first one but someone deleted it. Get a new picture. That isn't acceptable. --[[Tracey Sketchit|'''ケンジ''']][[User talk:Kenji-girl|'''の''']][[User:Kenji-girl|'''ガール''']] 03:19, 21 November 2008 (UTC)

I will change the picture when I take a few from the DVDs and then I will put a few up when I get the time. [[User:WolfMan of Light|De Wolfy is here]] 15:18, 24 November 2008 (UTC)

== Charmander ==

Umm... Lisa's page says it's evolved from a Charmander, but this isn't. Clarification please. I think it didn't evolve from a Charmander... [[User:Ht14|'''''ht''''']][[User talk:Ht14|''14'']] 02:45, 9 November 2009 (UTC)

:I call for an analysis of the original Japanese version of the episode in question. I definitely recall Liza saying she raised Charla from a Charmander in the dub. However, an analysis of the original Japanese episode will tell us if that implication is in fact canon, or dub-added. --[[User:Shiningpikablu252|Shiningpikablu252]] 02:50, 9 November 2009 (UTC)

::Wait, [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Liza_(Johto)&curid=15816&diff=926878&oldid=926871&rcid=999113 someone suggested '''I'm''' going to do the analysis]? If I had access to the Japanese version of the episode and a way to decipher the audio, of which I have neither, I would have had everything done by myself by now! The only reason I even called for someone to do an analysis is because I can't do it myself! --[[User:Shiningpikablu252|Shiningpikablu252]] 03:02, 9 November 2009 (UTC)

:::Then who's gonna do it?! [[User:CuboneKing|Cu]][[User talk:CuboneKing|bo]][[Special:Contributions/CuboneKing|ne]][[Cubone (Pokémon)|King]] 03:03, 9 November 2009 (UTC)

::::The call was more for a volunteer than anything...--[[User:Shiningpikablu252|Shiningpikablu252]] 03:07, 9 November 2009 (UTC)

::::: I'll volunteer to do it. I have the Japanese version of that episode and I can decipher the audio.
::::: OK, I just did an anyalsis and in the Japanese version, she said "Lisa-chan is a special Charizard. She is cute and she doesn't normally battle the other Charizard." In that whole line of dialogue, Lisa raising Charla from a Charmander was not mentioned even once. So Ht14 is right. This is a dubbing error. --[[User:Hmdwgf|Hmdwgf]] 04:04, 9 November 2009 (UTC)

== Knows Fly? ==

Since Liza is riding on her back, doesn't it mean she knows Fly? [[User:WellyDawn|WellyDawn]] 17:47, 30 May 2012 (UTC)

== Deletion ==

I think that this article is way too small to be able to be considered its own article. I think this article should be deleted and the information on here should be merged with the information section for Charla on the article for Liza. ([[User:Charizard101|Charizard101]] ([[User talk:Charizard101|talk]]) 14:59, 30 September 2012 (UTC))

:I disagree! Charla is one of the reasons Ash ''left'' Charizard there in the first place! Sure the article needs some work, but we can fix it to where it's the best article on Bulbapedia! --[[User:Doggy567123|Doggy567123]] ([[User talk:Doggy567123|talk]]) 03:23, 17 October 2012 (UTC)

::Well I think that unless Charla appears again in some sort of episode in which Ash's Charizard makes another appearance, this article in a way contains old information and it really wouldn't make much of a difference if it was moved to a new section on Liza's article. ([[User:Charizard101|Charizard101]] ([[User talk:Charizard101|talk]]) 03:08, 28 October 2012 (UTC))

:::She might appear again if Ash uses Charizard in the Unova League. --[[User:Doggy567123|Doggy567123]] ([[User talk:Doggy567123|talk]]) 21:49, 1 November 2012 (UTC)
::::This page isn't going anywhere. She's appeared in a number of episodes, and was a major asset in many of them. Not to mention she's Charizard's girlfriend, that's pretty important. [[Pink Butterfree]] has a page too. [[Typhlosion (Pokémon)|★]][[User:Jo The Marten|Jo the Marten]][[Flygon (Pokémon)|★]] [[User_Talk:Jo The Marten|ಠ_ಠ]][[Cilan (anime)|♥]] 22:29, 1 November 2012 (UTC)
:::::I just think that it doesn't really matter if she is Charizard's girlfriend because Charizard hasn't made an appearance since the Battle Frontier. And I also don't really think that Ash is going to use Charizard in the Unova League as it wouldn't follow the pattern that has been set over the years.

Talk:Charla

2012-10-28T03:08:27Z

Charizard101: /* Deletion */

why is it confirmed that charla is a female? no one said {{u|LegendaryFlame}}
:Her Japanese name is Lisa, and she wears a bow. [[User:Porygon-Z|'''Por''']][[User:Porygon-Z/Trade|'''ygo''']][[User_talk:Porygon-Z|'''n-Z''']] 14:35, 29 July 2008 (UTC)
::Actually, I believe Liza said it herself. --[[Special:Contributions/Kenji-girl|☆]][[Tracey Sketchit|'''ケンジ''']][[User:Kenji-girl|'''ガール''']] 20:13, 29 July 2008 (UTC)

Why does it say Charla's Female but Ash's is unknown? ([[User:GT4GTR|GT4GTR]] 09:23, 10 November 2008 (UTC))
:Ok that is wrong in so many ways Ash's Charizard has to be a male otherwise Charla would never have fallen for him, She wears a bow and even has a ladies name in both the original and the dub, could there be any more evidence short of them telling you themselves. You would not see a male charizard going around with a bow on it's head and since she has fallen for Ash's Charizard I think it is a male unless Charla is a lesbein and I don't think they allow that kind of thing on pokemon. Sheesh whoever thinks Charla is not a female needs a reality check, same goes for people who think Charizard is a female. [[User:WolfMan of Light|De Wolfy is here]] 15:19, 24 November 2008 (UTC)

== Caught at ==

Is it confermed that Charla was caught in [[Johto]]? I don't remember anyone mentioning it.--'''[[User:Misty-may-dawn rulz|Misty-May-Dawn]] [[User talk:Misty-may-dawn rulz|rulz]]''' 10:37, 9 August 2008 (UTC)

== Who changed the picture ==

That picture sucks. You can barely see Charla. It's centered on Liza. I was going to change it back to the first one but someone deleted it. Get a new picture. That isn't acceptable. --[[Tracey Sketchit|'''ケンジ''']][[User talk:Kenji-girl|'''の''']][[User:Kenji-girl|'''ガール''']] 03:19, 21 November 2008 (UTC)

I will change the picture when I take a few from the DVDs and then I will put a few up when I get the time. [[User:WolfMan of Light|De Wolfy is here]] 15:18, 24 November 2008 (UTC)

== Charmander ==

Umm... Lisa's page says it's evolved from a Charmander, but this isn't. Clarification please. I think it didn't evolve from a Charmander... [[User:Ht14|'''''ht''''']][[User talk:Ht14|''14'']] 02:45, 9 November 2009 (UTC)

:I call for an analysis of the original Japanese version of the episode in question. I definitely recall Liza saying she raised Charla from a Charmander in the dub. However, an analysis of the original Japanese episode will tell us if that implication is in fact canon, or dub-added. --[[User:Shiningpikablu252|Shiningpikablu252]] 02:50, 9 November 2009 (UTC)

::Wait, [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Liza_(Johto)&curid=15816&diff=926878&oldid=926871&rcid=999113 someone suggested '''I'm''' going to do the analysis]? If I had access to the Japanese version of the episode and a way to decipher the audio, of which I have neither, I would have had everything done by myself by now! The only reason I even called for someone to do an analysis is because I can't do it myself! --[[User:Shiningpikablu252|Shiningpikablu252]] 03:02, 9 November 2009 (UTC)

:::Then who's gonna do it?! [[User:CuboneKing|Cu]][[User talk:CuboneKing|bo]][[Special:Contributions/CuboneKing|ne]][[Cubone (Pokémon)|King]] 03:03, 9 November 2009 (UTC)

::::The call was more for a volunteer than anything...--[[User:Shiningpikablu252|Shiningpikablu252]] 03:07, 9 November 2009 (UTC)

::::: I'll volunteer to do it. I have the Japanese version of that episode and I can decipher the audio.
::::: OK, I just did an anyalsis and in the Japanese version, she said "Lisa-chan is a special Charizard. She is cute and she doesn't normally battle the other Charizard." In that whole line of dialogue, Lisa raising Charla from a Charmander was not mentioned even once. So Ht14 is right. This is a dubbing error. --[[User:Hmdwgf|Hmdwgf]] 04:04, 9 November 2009 (UTC)

== Knows Fly? ==

Since Liza is riding on her back, doesn't it mean she knows Fly? [[User:WellyDawn|WellyDawn]] 17:47, 30 May 2012 (UTC)

== Deletion ==

I think that this article is way too small to be able to be considered its own article. I think this article should be deleted and the information on here should be merged with the information section for Charla on the article for Liza. ([[User:Charizard101|Charizard101]] ([[User talk:Charizard101|talk]]) 14:59, 30 September 2012 (UTC))

I disagree! Charla is one of the reasons Ash ''left'' Charizard there in the first place! Sure the article needs some work, but we can fix it to where it's the best article on Bulbapedia! --[[User:Doggy567123|Doggy567123]] ([[User talk:Doggy567123|talk]]) 03:23, 17 October 2012 (UTC)

Well I think that unless Charla appears again in some sort of episode in which Ash's Charizard makes another appearance, this article in a way contains old information and it really wouldn't make much of a difference if it was moved to a new section on Liza's article.

'''About Me'''

Welcome to my userpage! I'm Charizard101, a Pokémon fanatic for 5 years. I am 14 now and have over 200 cards. My first card was a Psychic Vulpix Delta, and my very first Pokémon game was Pokémon Pearl Version, which I got only a few days after launch day. I love older games and find classic games to be just as fun as newer ones. My favorite Pokémon is obviously Charizard, and I love spending time playing Minecraft and building crazy stuff. I also like the Pokémon anime and the video games. I have a {{tt|Nintendo DS Lite|The battery does not hold a good charge any more, so I don't use it any more}}, a 3DS, a Game Boy Advance SP, and a SNES. I live in the United States and use Eastern Standard Time. To give you an idea of the difference between this and UTC time, which Bulbapedia uses, whenever the hour is 16:00:00, it is around 11:00 a.m. where I live.

'''My Video Games'''

Since I don't use my Nintendo DS Lite anymore, I play all of my DS Lite games on my 3DS. My first Pokémon video game was Pokémon Pearl. I also have some {{tt|sidegames,|I play Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness, Pokémon Stadium 2, and Super Smash Bros. at my friend's house}} along with Platinum, Sapphire, FireRed, HeartGold, SoulSilver, White, and Black. Here is my team on Pokémon White:

'''Me on Bulbapedia'''

I joined Bulbapedia on February 11th, 2012. As of October 26th, 2012, I have made 220 edits to the mainspace. I am part of one project, Project Merchandise. I mainly contribute to anime articles, but I also have contributed to several different Pokédex entries. I often like to shadow the pages I have recently edited. As of October 7th, 2012, I have created two articles, [[Reshiphlosion (TCG)|one thing for the TCG]] and [[Unova Pokedex (Toy)|one thing for Merchandise]].

'''Dragon Vault''' (Japanese: '''ドラゴンセレクション''' ''Dragon Selection'') is a sub-set released during the Black & White Series of the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]]. In Japan, the set introduced the {{TCG|Dragon}} type to the TCG. It was released January 27, 2012 and contained 20 Holofoil cards.

The English release was October 9, 2012, four days before the start of the North American Autumn Regionals. This caused much controversy due to the possible introduction of new cards into the {{TCG|Modified Format}} days before such a high leveled Premier Tournament; however, the collection was not made legal in Modified Tournament Play until October 15th, 2012—one day after the end of the tournament. Much like the Japanese set, Dragon Vault contained all Holofoil cards. However, the English release adds 1 card—{{TCG ID|Dragon Vault|Kyurem|21}}—as a {{TCG|Secret card}}, originally handed out as one of the {{TCG|BW-P Promotional cards}} in Japan at the Battle Carnival Spring 2012: World Challenge Tournament.

All the packs were released through the {{merch|Black & White|Dragon Vault Blisters}}. There were 5 promotional cards available in these Blisters: {{TCG ID|Dragon Vault|Latias|9}}, {{TCG ID|Dragon Vault|Latios|10}}, {{TCG ID|Dragon Vault|Rayquaza|11}}, {{TCG ID|Dragon Vault|Haxorus|16}}, and {{TCG ID|Dragon Vault|Druddigon|17}}.

== Problems with main page ==

I've been having a few issues with the main page. I can't click on the 'discussion', 'view source', 'history' or 'watch' buttons. Those buttons work on most other pages, so as far as I know, it's just this page. Also, these errors only occurred after the update.

== Just curious; ==

On the main page, it states that Bulbapedia is supported by Bulbanews, Bulbagarden Archives, and Bulbagarden Forums. Shouldn't that mean it's supported by the National Bulbagraphic, too?

== Unova Pokedex ==

I was browsing Amazon the other day looking at prices of stuff for the TCG when I came across the new Unova Pokedex from Jakks. I was wondering if I could make an article for the item since we also have an article for the Diamond and Pearl one. I believe I have enough information to create an article, though I can't upload pictures, so someone else would have to do that.

It seems that the .png files are not displaying correctly on some {{tt|browsers| Internet Explorer 8 or 9 on Windows Vista; Google Chrome 21, Safari 5.1.7, Firefox 11.0, and Firefox 15.0.1 on a Mac OS X 10.6.8 are not displaying the files as they should be.}}. I would suggest using a browser that can display .png files that are animated for the time being. [[User:Super goku|Super goku]] ([[User talk:Super goku|talk]]) 19:55, 8 October 2012 (UTC)
:::::::::::It's not a browser thing. They're no longer working for me, now that I'm using a different internet connection but the same browser. We'll look into it, but it's possible that it's due to certain internet connections not directing traffic properly after the move. It may not be a quick fix. [[User:Werdnae|Werdnae]] [[User talk:Werdnae|(talk)]] 19:59, 8 October 2012 (UTC)
::::::::::::So much for my guess. At least the images are still viewable on the Archives. [[User:Super goku|Super goku]] ([[User talk:Super goku|talk]]) 20:09, 8 October 2012 (UTC)
:::::::::::::Related to that, and as an added note, given that some images seem to be working some of the time: If an image isn't loading and you want to see it, click on it, and then click on the "description page" link to it on the archives. Please, ''please, '''please''''', don't sit there refreshing the page or continually trying to reload the image. Doing that is ''not'' going to make it load. What it will do is increase the load on our servers, making it so that ''less'' loads. It makes any problem worse. [[User:Werdnae|Werdnae]] [[User talk:Werdnae|(talk)]] 21:48, 8 October 2012 (UTC)
:::::::::::::: That just gives 404 not found [[User:Volcronaperson|_Volcronaperson_]] 23:27, 8 October 2012 (UTC)
::::::::::::::: In extreme cases, it gives out a 503 error. (Loss of server.) Back on topic, what was the problem with some of the images? --[[User:Super goku|Super goku]] ([[User talk:Super goku|talk]]) 07:53, 9 October 2012 (UTC)
::::::::::::::::What I meant, was not navigate to the image itself, but navigate to the image on the archives. And the problem was that the main server had crashed, blocking all traffic. [[User:Werdnae|Werdnae]] [[User talk:Werdnae|(talk)]] 08:04, 9 October 2012 (UTC)
:::::::::::::::::How come the archives access their images from the archives, while Bulbapedia accesses images from cdn2.bulbagarden? [[User:Abcboy|Abcboy]] ([[User talk:Abcboy|talk]]) 10:57, 9 October 2012 (UTC)
::::::::::::::::::Because wikis are set up to only access images that are loaded on them. The Content Delivery Network (CDN) takes the images on the archives and distributes them to Bulbapedia and Bulbanews. [[User:Werdnae|Werdnae]] [[User talk:Werdnae|(talk)]] 18:32, 9 October 2012 (UTC)

== Automagically redirected to pornographic site ==

So I was surfing on my iPhone 3G with iOS 4.2.1 {{tt|yesterday|2012-10-13}} in between 12:50 AM UTC and 1:20 AM UTC (don't remember exactly what was the time) when I fired up Mobile Safari and directed the browser to Bulbapedia's main page. Now, I don't remember tapping anything on the screen but there's a chance I did without noticing it. Either way, I'm not convinced it was accidental tapping. What happened is that I suddenly got redirected multiple times through the ad network until I reached [http://www.ipinkvisualpass.com/pt/sx/iphone/home/updates/?revid=66054&campaign=20996&viewSpeed= this], which is a pornographic site. Now, I don't have anything against adult-themed content as I'm 19 but why in hell was I sent there in the first place? I demand an explanation.

:Actually, it was in between 11:50 PM UTC of 2012-10-12 and 12:20 AM UTC of 2012-10-13. My bad. I forgot I'm currently on summer time. [[User:SatoMew2|Sato]][[User talk:SatoMew2|Mew]] 23:12, 13 October 2012 (UTC)

== Pedia down? ==

Was it? It seems it was earlier… --[[User:Abcboy|Abcboy]] ([[User talk:Abcboy|talk]]) 03:59, 23 October 2012 (UTC)
: I think Bulbapedia was down earlier, along with Video Game Wiki. I tried several times, even exiting out of my browser and going back in, but that didn't work. I think something was up with the servers the wikis run on. ([[User:Charizard101|Charizard101]] ([[User talk:Charizard101|talk]]) 02:55, 26 October 2012 (UTC))
::Video Game Wiki...? If that's a Wikia site, their downtime is unrelated to Bulbapedia's downtime. '''[[Team Rocket|R.A.]] [[User:Rocket Admin Hunter Blade|Hunter]] [[User Talk:Rocket Admin Hunter Blade|Blade]]''' 03:44, 26 October 2012 (UTC)
:::Then can anyone tell me what Bulbapedia's being down was all about? I was slightly confused about that. ([[User:Charizard101|Charizard101]] ([[User talk:Charizard101|talk]]) 01:02, 27 October 2012 (UTC))
::::On the 22nd and the 23rd UTC, Bulbapedia was down for quite a few errors. Due to B2W2 server load, the servers have been unstable. --[[User:Abcboy|Abcboy]] ([[User talk:Abcboy|talk]]) 01:06, 27 October 2012 (UTC)
:::::Okay, thanks for the info. After the big server move they did, I can see why they might have some problems. ([[User:Charizard101|Charizard101]] ([[User talk:Charizard101|talk]]) 01:52, 27 October 2012 (UTC))
