{{StrategyWiki|Pokémon Stadium}}

'''Pokémon Stadium''' (Japanese, title: '''{{j|ポケモンスタジアム２}}''' ''Pokémon Stadium 2'', subtitled as '''Pocket Monsters' Stadium 2''') is a [[Nintendo 64]] game that allows players to upload and battle their Pokémon from the [[Generation I|first generation]] Pokémon games, [[Pokémon Red and Blue Versions|Pokémon Red, Blue]], {{v2|Yellow}}, and [[Pokémon Red and Green Versions|Green]] in Japan. It features several battle arenas, introducing [[Stadium Mode]]'s original four cups, the [[Pika Cup]], [[Petit Cup]], [[Poké Cup]], and [[Prime Cup]], the latter two of which would return in [[Pokémon Stadium 2|the sequel]], and the original [[Gym Leader Castle]]. It also features new Pokémon [[cry|cries]], a feature that was carried on in the sequel for Pokémon from Generation II.

It was originally released in Japan on April 30, 1999, in North America on February 29, 2000, in Australia on March 23, 2000, and in Europe on April 7, 2000. It was announced during the September 13, 2022 [[Nintendo Direct]] that the game would be rereleased as part of the [[Nintendo Switch Online|Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack]] in 2023. However, this version of the game will be unable to connect to the original [[Game Boy]] or [[Virtual Console]] games. It will be released on April, 12, 2023.

This game is the sequel to the [[Pokémon Stadium (Japanese)|mostly incomplete original]], which was never released anywhere outside Japan.

==Terminology==
This game is called "Pokémon Stadium" in English, as it was the first [[Pokémon Stadium series]] game released outside Japan. However, it is named ポケモンスタジアム２ (''Pokémon Stadium 2'') in Japan, as it was released after the game ポケモンスタジアム (''{{jap|Pokémon Stadium}}''), which was never released internationally.

For comparison, the third Japanese game in this series is known as "[[Pokémon Stadium 2]]" in English.

==Blurb==
The ultimate Pokémon battle is about to begin...<br>At long last, all of your favorite Pokémon are ready to go head-to-head on the N64! Whether you're battling a friend, a Gym Leader or a tournament contestant, you're about to witness some of the most spectacular battle scenes in history! Select a team from a huge stable of "rental" battlers, or use the included N64 Transfer Pack to upload your own team from Pokémon Red, Blue or Yellow! This stadium is packed and ready to rock!

==Game modes==
[[File:Stadium Intro.png|thumb|left|200px|Title screen]]
[[File:Pokemon Stadium Mode Select.png|thumb|left|200px|Game mode selection]]
===Free battle===
An open battle mode where players can battle with each other or the CPU with their favorite Pokémon. Players can use the Stadium rulesets (plus the available {{pkmn2|rental}}s), or choose "Anything Goes" for only the basic rules with no level limit.

Exclusive to Anything Goes is the ability to bring any number of Pokémon from one to six into battle, and play team matches with three or four players. When two players are on a given side, each selects up to three Pokémon to control.

===Stadium===
{{main|Stadium Mode}}
This is the main game mode. There are four different cup rules to win; [[Pika Cup]], [[Petit Cup]], [[Poké Cup]], and [[Prime Cup]]. In the latter two, there are four levels of difficulty; Poké Ball, Great Ball, Ultra Ball and Master Ball.

===Gym Leader Castle===
{{main|Gym Leader Castle}}
In this mode, the goal is to climb to the castle's top by facing, in order, all eight Gym Leaders from [[Kanto]], followed by the [[Elite Four]], and finally {{ga|Blue|the player's rival}}. Each of the Gym Leaders has three apprentices that the player must defeat first in order to battle the Gym Leader themselves.

When the rival is finally defeated, the player will be rewarded one of the following eight Pokémon at random, each of them uncommon in [[Generation I]] and usually only available once in a particular Game Boy game without [[Trade|trading]]. The starters are at level 5, the Fossil and Dojo Pokémon are at level 20, and Eevee is at level 25.

===Battle Now!===
In this mode, the player can play a battle without having to select {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. Rather, the players are randomly assigned one of two predetermined teams.

===Vs. Mewtwo===
Once the player has completed the [[Stadium Mode]] and [[Gym Leader Castle]], {{p|Mewtwo}}'s silhouette will appear in the sky over the Stadium for selection. This is simply a showdown against Mewtwo itself, under essentially "Anything Goes" rules: up to six Pokémon (the player's own or [[Prime Cup]] {{pkmn2|rental}}s) can be brought to the battle, but Mewtwo is the only opponent. It has full [[PP Up]]s applied to all of its moves (in round 1), or to both of its attacking moves (in round 2).

Defeating Mewtwo launches the credits, changes the title screen and unlocks Round 2. Re-unlocking and defeating Mewtwo in Round 2 (where its stats are increased to the max) awards special hidden stickers available in the Gallery mode.

===Kids Club===
{{main|Pokémon Stadium series mini-games#Pokémon Stadium|Pokémon Stadium series mini-games → Pokémon Stadium}}
The Kids Club area is home to nine different mini-games, which may be played with one to four human players (the remaining players are controlled by the computer).

===Gallery===
[[File:NA Pokemon Stadium Gallery.png|thumb|200px|Gallery]]
This feature, which only exists in the North American version of the game, is used to take pictures of Pokémon from a Red, Blue, or Yellow cartridge inserted into the [[Transfer Pak]] or any [[rental Pokémon]]. Any of the game's arenas can be selected for a backdrop and the photos are stored in an in-game album. These pictures can be printed out as stickers (in 16×1 or 4×4 sizes) via the same Sticker Station that was used for [[Pokémon Snap]].

===Pokémon Lab===
{{main|Pokémon Lab (Stadium)}}
This can only be used if the player has a copy of Pokémon Red, Blue or Yellow inserted into a Transfer Pak. Here, the player can access boxes to organize and store Pokémon and items, trade Pokémon between game cartridges (with two Transfer Paks), and accept prize Pokémon won elsewhere in the game. Using this feature will cause any Pokémon above [[level]] 100 (obtained either by hacking or via the [[Old man glitch]]) to be permanently reverted to level 100.

===GB Tower===
[[File:NA Pokemon Stadium Game Pak Check.png|thumb|200px|Transfer Pak compatibility]]
{{main|Game Boy Tower}}
This is used to play an emulated version of {{game3|Red and Blue|Red, Blue|s}}, or {{v2|Yellow}} on the Nintendo 64. Different borders can be applied, some exclusive to particular versions. In addition, a {{p|Doduo}} Game Boy Tower can be unlocked by completing either the Poké Cup or Prime Cup in Round 1, which allows the game to be played at double the speed. A {{p|Dodrio}} Game Boy Tower can also be unlocked by beating both the Poké Cup and Prime Cup in Round 1, allowing the game to be played at triple speed.

===Hall of Fame===
When the player clears the final division of a [[Stadium Cup]] or defeats the Rival in the Gym Leader Castle, all of the Pokémon on the player's team will be registered in the Hall of Fame, recording its nickname, level, and Original Trainer name and ID, as well as the tournament it was on the winning team for. Each species can only have one entry in the Hall of Fame at a time, and attempting to register a Pokémon that already has an entry there will cause the previous entry to be overwritten.
{{-}}

==Round 2==
When the Vs. Mewtwo battle is cleared, Round 2 can be toggled on and off by pressing C-Right on the main menu. Round 2 challenges the player to battle through the game all over again, against the same opponents with different Pokémon and a much higher difficulty. {{p|Mew}} can also be rented in the Prime Cup. The surrounding Stadium area in Round 2 is set at night.

==Changes==
===Trainer class changes===
As there is a seven-letter limit for Trainer names, some {{DL|Pokémon Trainer|Trainer classes}} go by different names.

===Changes from Red, Blue, and Yellow===
Pokémon Stadium features a number of changes to the battle system. Many of these fix [[glitch]]es present in the [[Generation I]] [[core series]] games.<ref>[http://web.archive.org/web/20071111023716/www.upokecenter.com/games/rby/guides/explanations.html UPC Attack Explanations]</ref><ref>[http://www.smogon.com/rb/articles/differences Important RBY Differences]</ref>

General changes include:
* Team preview is enabled.
* The [[HP]] bars of both active Pokémon numerically display their HP.
* [[Item]]s may not be used in battle.
* The duration of {{status|sleep}} is reduced to 1-3 turns.
* A Pokémon cannot be put to sleep by an opponent (but it can use {{m|Rest}}) if the Pokémon's teammate is asleep.
* If a Pokémon defeats an opposing Pokémon with a [[recoil]] move, the Pokémon does not suffer recoil [[damage]].
* An immobilized Pokémon can still select a [[move]].
* Consecutive moves such as {{m|Wrap}} end when the target switches out.
* If a Pokémon is fully {{status|paralyzed}} during the invulnerable turn of {{m|Dig}} or {{m|Fly}}, the move resets.
* When a paralyzed Pokémon's {{stat|Speed}} [[stat]] is modified, its Speed reduction is no longer nullified.
* A confused Pokémon will reveal the move it attempted to use when it hits itself in confusion.
* After a move which causes self-inflicted {{status|confusion}} (e.g. {{m|Thrash}}) ends, the game will display a message stating that the target is confused.
* The variable that determines the last damage dealt is reset whenever a Pokémon [[Recall|switches]], is fully paralyzed, or uses a two-turn move.
* This variable is unaffected by recoil damage.
* Recovery moves no longer fail when the difference between a Pokémon's current and maximum HP is 1 less than a multiple of 256 (i.e. 255 or 511).
* Critical Hit ratio is changed to <math>\left\lfloor \tfrac{(BaseSpeed + 76)}{1024} \right\rfloor</math>. 
* Moves no longer have an additional 1/256 chance to miss.
* The {{DL|Evasion|stat modifiers}} for {{stat|accuracy}} and {{stat|evasion}} were changed.

In addition, the following moves were changed:

{| class="roundtable sortable" style="background: #{{blue color light}}; border:1px solid #{{red color}};"
|-
! style="background: #{{red color light}};" class="roundytl" | {{color2|000000|Move}}
! style="background: #{{red color light}};" | {{color2|000000|Type}}
! style="background: #{{red color light}};" class="roundytr" | Change
{{Movelist|Bide|Normal||}}
| A move can now be selected during each of Bide's idling turns. Bide will miss against any Pokémon that is in the middle of Dig, Fly, or a similar semi-invulnerable state.
{{Movelist|Counter|Fighting||}}
| No longer capable of countering itself or self-inflicted recoil damage if the opponent does not make a move on a subsequent turn after using Counter.
{{Movelist|Disable|Normal||}}
| Now causes a Pokémon's rage to build only if successful. The disabled move's PP is not replaced with a "disabled!" message, though attempting to select the move will still result in a notice that the move is disabled.
{{Movelist|Focus Energy|Normal||}}
| Increases the user's critical hit ratio to <math>\left\lfloor \tfrac{(BaseSpeed + 236)}{512} \right\rfloor</math> 
{{Movelist|Haze|Ice||}}
| Eliminates any major status ailments that the user has
{{Movelist|Hyper Beam|Normal||}}
| Recharges even if it missed or defeated the target
{{Movelist|Mimic|Normal||}}
| Will no longer copy a move's maximum PP
{{Movelist|Mirror Move|Flying||}}
| Will now copy multi-turn moves during either of the turns they take to execute
{{Movelist|Psywave|Psychic||}}
| Always deals at least 1 damage
{{Movelist|Rage|Normal||}}
| Its accuracy does not drop when it misses. Disable causes Rage to build only when Disable hits.
{{Movelist|Rest|Psychic||}}
| No longer fails when difference between the user's maximum HP and current HP leaves a remainder of 255 when divided by 256 (such as 255 or 511). It removes stat drops from burn and paralysis and resets the Toxic counter.
{{Movelist|Struggle|Normal||}}
| Can hit {{t|Ghost}} Pokémon
{{movelist|Substitute|Normal||}}
| Prevents all {{cat|HP-draining moves}} and non-volatile [[status condition]]s, {{m|Self-Destruct|Selfdestruct}} and {{m|Explosion}} users still faint when the move breaks a substitute.

{{Movelist|Transform|Normal||}}
| Transform will not work if the target's current species is Ditto. The transformed Pokémon appears with the normal colors of the target.
|}

===Changes from previous Stadium game===
There have been several changes from the earlier game {{jap|Pokémon Stadium|Japanese Pokémon Stadium}}.

* All 151 [[Generation I]] Pokémon are playable in battle, as opposed to only 40 Pokémon.
* This game was localized in English, as well as multiple European languages, while the previous game was only available in Japanese.
* The {{OBP|Pokémon Lab|Stadium}} was introduced in this game. The {{OBP|PC|Stadium}}, trade machine, and machine to switch Game Boy games were also introduced in this game.
** The {{OBP|Pokédex|Stadium}} is now located in the Pokémon Lab. The "List" feature (a large table listing Pokémon), and the features to arrange Pokémon, items, and Boxes are now located in the PC. (All these features were introduced in Japanese Pokémon Stadium, but they were simply found at the [[main menu]].)
** The Nintendo 64 Pokémon storage in previous game had 4 Boxes for 30 Pokémon each (total 120). This was expanded in this game, as the Japanese version has 8 Boxes with 30 Pokémon slots each (total 240) and the English version has 12 Boxes with 20 slots each (total 240).
* In the previous Stadium game, the player was required to save at a [[Pokémon Center]] (in the connected [[core series]] game) in order to use the {{OBP|Pokédex|Stadium}}. In the current Stadium game, the player can freely use the Pokédex, no matter where they saved.
* Several [[Pokémon Stadium series mini-games|minigames]] were introduced in this game.
* The {{ga|Red's Pikachu|starter Pikachu}} from {{game|Yellow}} says its name in battle (voiced by [[Ikue Ohtani]]), as opposed to other Pikachu, which have the usual electronic noise [[cry]]. The starter Pikachu's idle animation is also different from that of other Pikachu. It keeps swinging its head to the sides, with its ears slightly uneven. The starter Pikachu's voice and pose are also seen at the Gallery (only available in the English version).
* In the previous game, two Pokémon could repeatedly use {{m|Transform}} against each other (replenishing their own PP with each use), potentially causing an endless battle. In this game, Transform fails if used against a Ditto. However, two {{p|Mew}} can still freely use Transform against each other.

===Localization changes===
Like the Generation I handheld games, Pokémon Stadium had several changes from the Japanese version.

* The Japanese version had six Stadium Cups. In addition to the Pika, Petit, and Prime Cups, there were three cups based upon [[Rule variants#Japanese tournaments|official tournaments]]: the [[Rule variants#Pokémon Stadium|Nintendo Cup '97, Nintendo Cup '98, and Nintendo Cup '99]]. In the international versions, the Nintendo Cups were replaced with the Poké Cup from Pokémon Yellow's Colosseum 2.
* A Gallery mode was added, but only in the American version (it was still absent in PAL versions).
* {{p|Pikachu}} can be taught {{m|Surf}} under special conditions. Japanese players could teach a Pikachu Surf in the [[Pokémon Stadium (Japanese)#Special Pokémon|original Pokémon Stadium]].
* The number of teams that could be registered was decreased from 12 to 10.
* In Clefairy Says, the Clefairy sing rather than repeat the same sound effect.

==Special Pokémon==
One Pokémon with a unique move can be obtained and transferred to any [[Generation I]] game.

===Amnesia Psyduck===
This {{p|Psyduck}} with the special move {{m|Amnesia}} is obtained by registering all 151 Pokémon in the Hall of Fame.

* All of the Pokémon must be selected directly from a Game Pak (Pokémon cannot be registered). The Pikachu can come from any [[Generation I]] game.
* Continues may be used, but the game cannot be saved.
* Pikachu only has to be selected for the final battle, but does not have to take part in the battle.

==Staff==
{{main|Staff of Pokémon Stadium (English)}}

==Trivia==
* [[Cry|Pokémon cries]] have a much more realistic sound in this game. However, {{ga|Red's Pikachu|the starter Pikachu}} from {{game|Yellow}} says its name like in the {{pkmn|anime}}.
** This concept was carried over to [[Pokémon Stadium 2]].
* This was the first home console game to have all Pokémon in its generation able to be used in battle.
* [[Nickname]]d Pokémon have slightly altered colorations when used in battle. As a result, most NPC Trainers use nicknamed Pokémon to emphasize the effect. This marks one of the few situations where NPCs have nicknamed Pokémon.
** The color alterations depend on the Pokémon's nickname and the [[Original Trainer]]'s [[Trainer ID number]] and name, so even if two Trainers have Pokémon with the same nickname, the Pokémon still will not likely have the same coloration.
* Rocket's Pokémon have numbers in their nicknames, even though this was not possible until [[Generation III]]. The same applies for {{tc|Team Rocket Grunt}}s in the sequel.
* This was the first Pokémon game that allowed more than two players to battle at one time. This feature would not be implemented into the [[Core series|handheld]] games until Generation III.
* This is the only game where [[Lance]] does not use a {{TP|Lance|Dragonite}} at any point in the game.
* Unlike handheld games, if due to glitches (like Pokémon "growing" from Lv. 255 to Lv. 0, thus lowering HP) a Pokémon's current HP happens to be below 0, it's shown properly (like 64569).
* Clearing the Gym Leader Castle and Prime Cup on Master Ball mode will unlock an alternate title screen.
* Although there is a 1'4" (0.4 m) difference between {{p|Nidoking}} and {{p|Venonat}}, the two appear to be the same height in battle.
* If a Pokémon knows four HM moves, using a TM in the menu allows the first move to be overwritten. This is the only way to replace HM moves in Generation I.
* {{p|Jynx}}'s body color was changed from black to purple between the 1.0 and 1.1 English releases to avoid [[Jynx (Pokémon)#Controversy|further controversy]].
* According to an FAQ page that was available in February 1999 on [[Pokémon.com]], there were no plans to release an American version of {{jap|Pokémon Stadium}}, as well as any other Pokémon games that have been only released in Japanese at the time.<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/19990221021626/http://www.pokemon.com/games/faq.html</ref> This referred to the first Pokémon Stadium game (the version with only 42 Pokémon available for battles), which was indeed never released in English. The second game in the series was translated in English as simply Pokémon Stadium later (as opposed to the Japanese name Pokémon Stadium 2).
* Moves that are flagged as illegal by the game are displayed in purple in the battle menu, and its trainer's name is displayed in purple too.

Talk:Vivillon (Pokémon)/Archive 1

2023-03-05T15:32:12Z

Chickoritaboy11: /* SV Postcard Link/Different Patterns in SV */ new section

I'm guessing the French name is a combination of "prism" and "papillon" (butterfly) [[User:Vienna Waltz|Vienna Waltz]] ([[User talk:Vienna Waltz|talk]]) 20:24, 11 June 2013 (UTC)

== Possible Origin-disco ball? ==

This may be pushing it a bit, but could Vivillon be based off a disco ball? Due to the square designs all over it and that its body is a silver-white color with colorful wings to represent how a disco ball reflects colors? [[User:CyberCat5555|CyberCat5555]] ([[User talk:CyberCat5555|talk]]) 22:13, 11 June 2013 (UTC)
:: Looks a little like a disco floor, or a glitch screen. Maybe even one of those colored ARTag square. I've seen a few AR tags us pinks and grey in combination.[[User:Yamitora1|Yamitora1]] ([[User talk:Yamitora1|talk]]) 00:05, 12 June 2013 (UTC)

== Worth putting to it's and its pre evos's Origin? ==

I found a very possible design theory of its line. It has something to do with those "pixel-like" shapes on them.

== Korean name for Vivillon ==

Its Korean name is 비비용 ''Bibiyong''.
* It's essentially a transliteration of its Japanese name.
: NOTE: I don't think the 용 ''yong'' in its name means ''dragon'', it's just a way some words/syllables ending in "n" are transliterated in Korean. For comparison, "France" is 프랑스 ''Peu'rang'seu''. -- [[User:Nick15|Nick15]] ([[User talk:Nick15|talk]]) 18:23, 11 July 2013 (UTC)
* UPDATE: It's ''based'' on the Japanese and English names, since they all basically use the same etymology:
:* 비비 ''bibi'' comes from the Korean transliteration of the word "vivid" (비비드 ''bibideu'')
::: (as 美 in Korean is 미 ''mi'', not ''bi'' like in Japanese)
:* 용 ''yong'' comes from the Korean transliteration of "papillon" (파피용 ''papiyong''). -- [[User:Nick15|Nick15]] ([[User talk:Nick15|talk]]) 19:40, 11 July 2013 (UTC)

== Vivillon Forms ==

According to the article there are 18 different forms. Currently I was able to pull out of the PGL 8 versions. Unfortunately, there are rather small. Should we use these as a placeholders, for example, till we get HQ versions? Here's an example of one of the forms: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/17498236/e175c2.png<br>
In another subject, do we have an official source for the name of the forms?

That's as official as it gets. [[User:ArcToraphim|Luna Tiger]] * the [[User talk:ArcToraphim|Arc]] [[Special:Contributions/ArcToraphim|Toraph]] 16:12, 25 October 2013 (UTC)

Shouldn't there be a section about which area gets which Vivillon form? Or should that be on the variant Pokémon article? [[User:KyuremTrainer|KyuremTrainer]] ([[User talk:KyuremTrainer|talk]]) 20:53, 28 October 2013 (UTC)

All we'd have to do is generate a world map color coded to represent the different areas where certain Vivillion can be found. Just use a eyedropper to select the most abundant color on each Vivillion and use that as their color code. From the looks of it from my research, the hardest thing would be the US. However, that's only a mildly difficult task since most people grew up drawing the US at some point. I know I had to draw it every year in school. I could pop out a color coded world map in a few days, five at the most if I play too much Y. [[User:Yamitora1|Yamitora1]] ([[User talk:Yamitora1|talk]]) 09:19, 22 December 2013 (UTC)

At the moment I am focusing on the United States since that data is hit and miss. It seems a large number of people only set the United States, but did not specify the state in which they live. The white states are states I have no data for. Also some data might be incorrect due to the US being Modern Vivillion by default should the state not be set.

I am currently using a free to use Vector maps of the as a data place holders; however, once I am able to get more in depth data I will generate a entirely new vector world map based on the data.

Well, once I get the data we need we can incorporate both, no problem. Some people are more visual so both are useful tools.

The problem is that I have heard conflicting reports of Continental and High Planes Vivillion in states like Utah, New Mexico and Colorado.

Its been a while since I set up my 2DS, but I vaguely remember inputting my postal Zip code at some point (likely for eShop related purposes). Each state has hundreds of zip codes, and the US thousands of them altogether. In some bordering state, a zip code can be shared by both. Its such a complicated system that you can even have two zip codes (And Addresses, I did at once point) at the same time living in one house, or your neighbor a few doors down can have their own that is different from yours.

Like I said, I vaguely remember having to set my Zip code. It may have nothing to do with the patterns at all, but if it does have any influence at all on the Pattern generated, things can get messy. [[User:Yamitora1|Yamitora1]] ([[User talk:Yamitora1|talk]]) 17:19, 10 February 2014 (UTC)

It's been a couple years since X and Y came out and we still don't have all the data for the Vivillon forms, but I think we should at least list one location for each pattern, since we have enough information to at least do that. --[[User:LavaringX|LavaringX]] ([[User talk:LavaringX|talk]]) 20:42, 26 July 2017 (UTC)

The current description states that the pattern is determined by Original Trainer. This should either be reworded or a piece of trivia added to clarify what happens in the case of eggs.

I repeated it after resetting using a reset bag and the same EVs were rewarded.[[User:Yamitora1|Yamitora1]] ([[User talk:Yamitora1|talk]]) 03:54, 16 February 2014 (UTC)

== Showing the patterns in the in-game order? ==

I was wondering about the in-game order (the order showing in the Pokedex in X/Y) the other day, and this youtube video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0OcGT99YKxA) shows you the order. I think it makes sense to show not only alphabetically but also in the in-game order too here. The order is: Icy Snow, Polar, Tundra, Continental, Garden, Elegant, Meadow, Modern, Marine, Archipelago, High Plains, Sandstorm, River, Monsoon, Savanna, Sun, Ocean, Jungle. The two hidden patterns are still unknown for now~ --- Ping 10:34, 25 February 2014 (EST)

== Trivia ==

I feel like it's worth mentioning that this is the only "early three stage bug line" that doesn't follow the 7/10 evolution levels standard that Caterpie, Weedle, and Wurmple follow, especially since it follows the same metamorphosis idea.

:Neither do Sewaddle and Venipede. [[User:Pumpkinking0192|Pumpkinking0192]] ([[User talk:Pumpkinking0192|talk]]) 17:04, 20 March 2014 (UTC)
::True, but those are not based on metamorphosis insects (larvae->cocoon/pupa->adult butterfly/moth), which is the point I was going for.

:::It's best if you could've just stuck to one talk page when discussing this. They're practically asking the same thing.

== Meadow Form Trivia ==

The meadow form of Vivillon can only obtained in France. Incidentally, this form is the one seen in the official artwork and is used by Viola in her battles. This shows more of Kalos's French inspirations. Is this notable as trivia? [[User:Jigglyppuff8|Jigglyppuff8]] ([[User talk:Jigglyppuff8|talk]]) 13:00, 24 May 2014 (UTC)
:It's not, because no, the Meadow Pattern is not only found in France; it's found in at least five other European countries. [[User:ArcToraphim|Kai]] * the [[User talk:ArcToraphim|Arc]] [[Special:Contributions/ArcToraphim|Toraph]] 13:39, 24 May 2014 (UTC)

== Fancy Pattern Image ==

It seems distorted somehow on the official Vivillon page, and yet the actual image looks fine. It's also represented in the Forms page perfectly fine. IDK if this is the right place to bring this up though... --[[User:BlackButterfree|BlackButterfree]] ([[User talk:BlackButterfree|talk]]) 00:55, 1 June 2014 (UTC)

== Possible name origin no one will agree with ==

The name sounds a lot like "Vivian". Coincidence worth noting?{{unsigned|Nutter Butter}}
:I found a nifty way to avoid to express disagreement by saying that the name [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vivian_(given_name) Vivian] basically comes from Latin ''vivus'', as does ''vivid'', which is already on the page. [[User:Nescientist|Nescientist]] ([[User talk:Nescientist|talk]]) 13:16, 31 July 2016 (UTC)

== Infobox color ==

Since each form now has its own Pokédex color, shouldn't the color listed in the infobox match the form used for the image? I assume it's currently based on which form comes first by internal index number, but since the only form it applies to is not shown in the infobox, it's a bit of an inconsistency there. [[User:Hyper Turtwig|Hyper Turtwig]] ([[User talk:Hyper Turtwig|talk]]) 23:38, 11 January 2021 (UTC)

== SV Postcard Link/Different Patterns in SV ==

As of right now, the top section of the page reads that Vivllon that originated in Paldea are fancy pattern, but now using Pokémon go you can send a postcard from a real-world location and receive Gimmighol coins and Vivillon of a different pattern will begin to spawn. Example; I have a postcard from a pokestop in Southeastern Texas and I sent that post card to Scarlet or Violet then High-Plains pattern Vivillon will spawn.

All that to say; I feel like that is something significant that should be addressed on the top description area.

In [[Pokémon: Magikarp Jump]], Light Ball is a Friendship Item that is received as a reward after beating the Friend League. It summons {{p|Pikachu}} as a helper Pokémon.

==Trivia==
* Because {{p|Pikachu}} cannot be found in the wild in [[Unova]], {{m|Thief}} and similar moves no longer permanently steal items held by Trainers' Pokémon from [[Generation V]] onward, and [[Poké Transfer]] does not transfer held items, the Light Ball cannot be obtained in [[Generation V]] outside of events. However, it is coded to be an item held by wild Pikachu, with a 1%{{tt|*|Dark grass only}}{{sup/5|BW}}/5%{{sup/5|B2W2}} probability.

== Updating the HeldItems template to support Legends Arceus ==
Any chance that the HeldItems template could be updated to support Legends Arceus? I am willing to at least make a dent in adding the info to the pages that need adding, but I cannot do that if the template doesn't support it. From the look of things, it seems like it'd be a pretty easy thing to do with a copy/paste and changing text where needed. I'm not a template expert though. -[[User:PancakeIdentity|PancakeIdentity]] ([[User talk:PancakeIdentity|talk]]) 00:13, 25 September 2022 (UTC)
: Thank you for drawing attention to this. I've added Legends: Arceus and (for when the time comes) Scarlet & Violet to the {{template|HeldItems}} template. I hope this helps! - [[User:BthrussellUK|bthrussellUK]] ([[User Talk:BthrussellUK|talk]]) 21:36, 25 September 2022 (UTC)
:: Thank you, it does! I'm wondering how we want to handle the more robust dropped item system in this game. Almost every pokemon has multiple items it can drop, and both can drop at the same time. In addition, each pokemon has different drops if its an alpha, it can drop grit if it's defeated in battle, and it can drop aguav berries if caught/defeated from a berry outbreak in a massive mass outbreak. I don't know if the current template is built to handle this complexity. Could we possibly add a new template with sections for regular drops and alpha drops. Should we bother listing the grit/aguav berry drops, considering they're independent from the species itself? -[[User:PancakeIdentity|PancakeIdentity]] ([[User talk:PancakeIdentity|talk]]) 09:12, 2 October 2022 (UTC)

::::: We're going to look into this further. The template is frankly a mess right now, so may require a rebuild, so we're going to look into how to intergrate the dropped items from Legends: Arceus, or whether they'd be better off with their own solution. - [[User:BthrussellUK|bthrussellUK]] ([[User Talk:BthrussellUK|talk]]) 20:30, 2 October 2022 (UTC)
::::::Thank you! Once the time comes, lemme know! I have all the drop rate info (not sourced from any other fan site), so I can do the grunt work of actually getting stuff onto pages once it comes. Just for my input, I also wonder if the technical difference between "held" and "dropped" items may warrant Arceus info having its own solution? -[[User:PancakeIdentity|PancakeIdentity]] ([[User talk:PancakeIdentity|talk]]) 06:39, 3 October 2022 (UTC)

== Question regarding game information not obtainable in normal gameplay ==

I recently added a couple of bits of trivia regarding Z-moves (that no NPC can use an Exclusive Z-Move, and that if they try, the game will crash, although this is not observable in normal gameplay as one needs to use a hacking device to make that happen) to the Z-move page. Another editor removed the latter bit, remarking that it was removed because it involved hacking.

I had looked around for rules regarding trivia about the games and their structure that could not be observed without using hacking devices or glitches, and could not find any, so I assumed that such was ok - is there a page in the manual of style that I missed, or is this an part of an unspoken guideline I should be aware of (like, I'm not complaining if it is, I just don't want to step on any toes)?

[[User:ABZB|ABZB]] ([[User talk:ABZB|talk]]) 18:24, 13 October 2022 (UTC)
:For what it's worth, I asked about the edit in the Bulbagarden Discord server and a non-Staff member said "'If the game does something it isn't supposed to, it crashes'. It just means something was not programmed into the game because it is never supposed to happen. Don't think it's notable." which a staff member reacted to in agreement and another responded with "The first part that no NPC uses those items might be fine though". That doesn't point to a policy or anything, but I felt I should explain how I came to make that edit. [[User:Exempt-Medic|Exempt-Medic]] ([[User talk:Exempt-Medic|talk]]) 18:56, 13 October 2022 (UTC)
::Understood. I found it interesting because of the exact timing at which it crashes - at the very end of the entire sequence, when the camera focuses back on the Pokemon that performed the move, right before the background reverts from the Z-move backdrop to the regular field - as far as I can tell with the currently limited tools available, the game is probably trying to call some animation or other model-thing related to the Trainer that initiated the Z-move that NPC trainers do not have (which seems unlikely, I can't imagine what that could be, but the timing and freeze suggests that the most strongly), leading to the game freezing. I had previously wondered if they were not included because GF ran into some difficult bug that they ran out of time to fix, or if they simply did not include it for gameplay balance reasons - that the entire thing works except for the mentioned freeze gives some weight to the "hard bug" thing. We probably won't find any more depth to that until 3DS coding and decompiling advance... I didn't put in the whole explanation because hardware/programming heavy trivia is very uncommon here, probably because we avoid emulation/ROM stuff in general, so I figured it was a bad idea to reference... <small>- ''unsigned comment from {{u|ABZB}} ([[User talk:ABZB|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/ABZB|contribs]]) ''</small>

==New learnset templates==

Greetings!

I have made a couple of posts about revamping the move pages earlier this year. You can find them '''[[User talk:SnorlaxMonster#Moves|here]]''' and '''[[User talk:Force_Fire/Archive_12#Suggestions|here]]'''. Since then, [[User:Bfdifan2006|Bfdifan2006]] and I have been working on the implementation of these suggestions. To keep this short, I won't reiterate everything.

We propose two new templates: a new header and a new entry template for moves. You can see what their implementation would look like '''[[User:Bfdifan2006/Template:Moveentry/proposal|here]]'''. There is also a '''[[User:Bfdifan2006/Template:Movehead|tutorial page]]''' on how to use the new header.

Our goal with this measure is not only future-proofing, but also decluttering and the shortening of pages. That is why we also propose the merger of the TM/TR and the Tutor sections. Since a move can only be one of these three within a game, it's a perfect solution and the template accommodates all possible game combinations. Incredible help for mobile users, who would no longer have to scroll for ages to find out whether their Infernape could learn Drain Punch or not.

I am willing to do 100% of the manual implementation of myself (though coordinated help is appreciated). Since the new templates wouldn't be compatible with the old code, some editing is required. I would start with the level-up learnsets, then move on to merging the TM and Tutoring sections. The breeding sections would remain separate. Considering I helped with updating the learnsets during the release of SwSh and LA, I hope that my commitment is taken seriously. It is a big job, but I am confident it can be finished before the release of SV.

Please note: we'd like to implement an "All Forms" note for Pokémon like Wormadam (it would have all three artworks in the template), Shaymin, etc. Essentially for Pokémon whose forms have almost identical movesets. This would need separate approval, and I would like to hear the admins' opinion on it. This is not urgent and can be implemented after everything else.

== Italic game titles ==

I'd like to suggest using italics conforming to more standard rules in all articles. Maybe a bit more like Wikipedia?

Game titles:

* ''Pokémon Scarlet''
* ''Pokémon Violet''
* ''Pokémon Scarlet'' and ''Violet''

I suggest also formatting anime episode titles and manga round titles with quotation marks and no italics.

Examples:

In "[[EP002|Pokémon Emergency!]]", Ash used his Pokédex to confirm his identity.

In "[[PS001|A Glimpse of the Glow]]", Red and Blue saw Mew.

::::Maybe it's just me, but sometimes it bothers me a bit that Bulbapedia appears to be the odd one out which does not use italic game titles. Even the other NIWA wikis (which are affiliated to Bulbapedia) use italic titles like ''Super Mario Land'', ''Super Metroid'', and ''Kirby Star Allies'', right? So I wonder why we are not using ''Pokémon Red'', ''Pokémon Diamond'', etc.
::::Personally, the current situation means that I need to actively remember ''not'' to italicize game titles when editing Bulbapedia, when compared to editing/reading other wikis.
::::I don't suppose the idea of using non-italic game titles was something decided on purpose, right? Is there any discussion with people saying: "Hey, Bulbapedia, I think we should have some non-italic game titles", "Oh that's perfect, non-italic works fine for those games", "We are better than all those other wikis that use italic game titles, since non-italic is clearly the best option"
::::Or maybe people just didn't discuss anything. Maybe we just wrote some non-italic game titles and didn't bother to "fix" them, and somehow we ended up with a "tradition" of using non-italic.
::::It could be just me, but my opinion is this: The non-italic game titles look unprofessional. They don't seem to have an actual deliberate style choice; instead, they just appear to be lacking some formatting. --[[User:Daniel Carrero|Daniel Carrero]] ([[User talk:Daniel Carrero|talk]]) 10:13, 7 December 2022 (UTC)
:::::I think this should be done as there are titles like "Let's go Eevee" which look like a sentence and may confuse while reading it as a part of a real sentence. This should be easy to fix as there are already used templates for links to game articles.--'''[[User:Team Rocket Grunt|<span style="color:#CC0000">Rocket</span>]] [[User talk:Team Rocket Grunt|<span style="color:#666666">Grunt</span>]]''' 10:24, 7 December 2022 (UTC)

== Updating Tables for Scarlet/Violet Encounters ==

Hello! I'm interested in adding encounter tables to Bulbapedia based on extracted data with rarity chances, biome, and areas for each route. Since Pokemon in S/V have rarities, as well as biomes they spawn in within an area, would it be possible to add an encounter table template in a format similar to this?

Pokemon | Biome | Rarity

If there are other ideas for how to categorize encounter info, please discuss! I'm new to editing and would love to help in any way possible. {{Unsigned|HeirOfHeart}}

== Can I wright about the Pokémon's in-game behavior ==

Can I wright about the Pokémon's in-game behavior? If so, where would I do that? [[User:Chickoritaboy11|Chickoritaboy11]] ([[User talk:Chickoritaboy11|talk]]) 02:41, 5 January 2023 (UTC)

'''Donphan''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ドンファン''' ''Donfan'') is a {{type|Ground}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation II]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Phanpy}} starting at [[level]] 25.

Donphan was officially revealed in the May 1997 issue of [[CoroCoro]], along with {{p|Slowking}} and {{p|Ampharos}}.<ref>https://www.zoidsland.com/1rebyu-/koro97-5b.html</ref>

It appears to be distantly related to the [[Paradox Pokémon]] {{p|Great Tusk}} and {{p|Iron Treads}}.

==Biology==
Donphan is a gray, {{wp|Proboscidea|proboscid}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with a thick, black band of hide running down the length of its back and extending to the tip of its long trunk. When this Pokémon curls up, the band resembles a car tire. This tough hide prevents regular attacks from inflicting even a scratch. A pair of white tusks, which are smaller on the female, extend from the corners of its mouth. It has thin, elongated ears held out almost perpendicular to its body. Its four short legs are each encircled with a broken, black band and have three toes.

Donphan has the ability to curl up into a ball and violently roll around like a wheel. These rolling tackles are strong enough to knock down a house. While normally calm, Donphan can become enraged and start a rampage. Once it starts its rampage, it will be almost unstoppable. Donphan will chase after anyone who angers it. [[AG114|The anime]] shows that this ability is further used as a form of courtship. The male Donphan have rolling competitions to demonstrate their toughness to the females. A Donphan's tough hide is so strong, not even a car can scratch it. Despite this, the armor is extremely vulnerable to rain.

It has [[EP120|been demonstrated]] that Donphan has a keen sense of smell, capable of sniffing out a gem known as amberite. Donphan travels in herds with a ranking system. The larger its tusks, the higher its rank in the herd. It lives in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Rough-terrain Pokémon|rough}}, mountainous terrain.

Both [[Great Tusk]] and [[Iron Treads]] share a resemblance to Donphan. Great Tusk is theorized to be Donphan's ancient ancestor from the dinosaur era. While, Iron Treads is believed to be a descendent of Donphan sent to the Pokémon world by aliens as a scientific weapon.

==Trivia==
* Donphan shares its {{pkmn|category}} with {{p|Tyranitar}}. They are both known as the Armor Pokémon.
* Donphan and {{p|Ursaring}}, along with their pre-evolved forms, are the only Pokémon to swap version-exclusive status between localizations. While Phanpy and Donphan are found only in the Japanese and Korean Gold, they are not found in Gold in other languages, being found in the Silver Version of those languages instead, with Teddiursa and Ursaring getting the opposite treatment. This is changed in the remakes {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, where they follow the Japanese and Korean Gold and Silver.
* In [[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet]], Donphan may roll down hills in small groups with their trunks tucked around their torsos.
===Origin===
Donphan seems to be based on an adult {{wp|elephant}}, possibly the {{wp|pygmy elephant}} or the extinct {{wp|dwarf elephant}} due to its relatively small size (if compared to [[Copperajah (Pokémon)|Copperajah]]). The ridges on its dark gray backside are similar to {{wp|tire tread}}s, causing it to resemble a spinning car {{wp|tire}} when using its {{m|Rollout}} attack. Its armored body may be a reference to {{wp|war elephants}} that were trained by humans for combat.

====Name origin====
Donphan and Donfan may be a combination of ''don'' (Spanish for ''lord'' or ''master'') or ''-don'' (common suffix in names of prehistoric animals derived from the Ancient Greek word for tooth) and ''elephant''.

Talk:Voltorb (Pokémon)

2022-12-30T22:50:43Z

Chickoritaboy11: /* ~~ */ new section

== Sprites ==
Can somebody figure out what went wrong? I changed the dimensions of some of the sprites to what they should be and they are shrunk now. I tried refreshing but thats not fixing it. Are the dimensions set somewhere on the page? --[[User:Blake|Blake]] 16:20, 26 February 2009 (UTC)
:NEVERMIND. I looked at them again and they were fixed. Weird. --[[User:Blake|Blake]] 16:21, 26 February 2009 (UTC)

== Strange... ==

There's no information in here about how Voltorb's were used in a plot to power some type of Device which could only be shut down by making the Voltorb's faint.
--[[User:Arima|Arima]] 06:37, 11 December 2009 (UTC)
:Electrode... Not Voltorb. --[[Tracey Sketchit|<span style="color:#33CC66;">'''ケンジ'''</span>]][[User talk:Kenji-girl|<span style="color:#6600CC;">'''の'''</span>]][[User:Kenji-girl|<span style="color:#FF00CC;">'''ガール'''</span>]] 06:48, 11 December 2009 (UTC)
::Oh... oops. --[[User:Arima|Arima]] 06:08, 12 December 2009 (UTC)

==Mimics==

Normally, there are monsters in RPGs that imitate treasure chests, usually powerful in order to act as punishment to greedy travelers (read: the game designers are jerks). Treasure chests in this series are item balls, which Voltorb and [[Electrode (Pokémon)|Electrode]] can be confused for, and the two can prove troublesome due to their capacity to [[Static|paralyze]] and injure, potentially fainting, a trainer's Pokémon by exploding. With this in mind, is it possible that Voltorb and its evolution are the Pokémon series' equivalent to mimics seen in other RPGs? Somethin' to mull over, yo. --[[User:PantheonSasuke|PantheonSasuke]] 03:48, 1 April 2010 (UTC)

== VOLTORB ORIGIN ==
Hi, I just wanted to point out that Voltorb (and Electrode too) origin may be due to that red-and-white plastic balls that are attached to high-voltage power lines, with the intention to make them visible from elicopters & similar. In fact, some pokedex entries says that they're used to travel using power lines...

Here is some pictures of them:

Sometimes I see them and I think about Voltorbs :)

[[User:IlChannel|IlChannel]] 12:30, 10 October 2010 (UTC)

== Multiplying ==

In ''The Underground Round Up'', it is implied that Voltorb can {{wp|binary fission|multiply}} to raise their numbers, but in what section would this be ideal? Trivia? Special Abilities? Behaviour? etc. <small><span style="color:white; background-color:blue">'''X'''</span>[[User:Vuvuzela2010|<span style="color:blue; background-color:white">'''Vuvuzela2010''']]</span><span style="color:white; background-color:blue">'''X'''</span></small> 11:26, 12 February 2011 (UTC)

==Easily mistaken for a Poké Ball...==
This is all speculation, but I think I know why he's "easily mistaken for a Poké Ball" despite being much larger than one. I think that there was an error in the Pokédex entry and that it should have said "easily mistaken for an item ball" (yes, I know that that entry was a direct translation from the Japanese... but maybe the error was in the Japanese entry). Think about it this way... in the games the size of an item ball is never stated (and it was never drawn to scale), but these item balls always contain small objects like potions and escape ropes, etc., right? Assuming that they don't work the same way as Poké Balls (how they're smaller than whatever is inside of them) and are more like real-world containers that hold items... wouldn't it make sense for an item ball to be about the size of a Voltorb? And in addition to that, in the game the player encounters Voltorb when pressing A on what he thinks is an item, not necessarily a Poké Ball. [[User:Dannyjenn|Dannyjenn]] 04:53, 22 March 2012 (UTC)

== Tsukumogami ==

Today I've read that Tsukumogami [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tsukumogami] refers to Japanese folcloric belief that old item that reach 100 years old will aquire a spirit and become alive. This could be a trivia to Voltorb as it is the 100th Pokemon in the Pokedex. This concept also may relate to Ninetales and Banette.--'''[[User:Team Rocket Grunt|<span style="color:#CC0000">Rocket</span> <span style="color:#666666">Grunt</span>]] ([[User talk:Team Rocket Grunt|<span style="color:#CCCCCC">Report To Me</span>]])''' 12:37, 20 March 2020 (UTC)

== Hisuian Voltorb ==

Can someone please add Hisuian Voltorb's info to this page? I don't know how to do that. [[User:MageMagius|MageMagius]] ([[User talk:MageMagius|talk]]) 23:08, 9 December 2021 (UTC)

Come on, add the biology and those other stuff [[User:MageMagius|MageMagius]] ([[User talk:MageMagius|talk]]) 23:14, 9 December 2021 (UTC)
:Have patience (especially if it has just been announced), or add it yourself. Complaining on the talk page isn't going to make people do things faster.--[[User:Force Fire|<span style="color:#00A1E9">'''F'''</span><span style="color:#59C2F1">orce</span>]][[User talk:Force Fire|<span style="color:#BF004F">'''F'''</span><span style="color:#D5598C">ire</span>]] 04:06, 10 December 2021 (UTC)

== ~~ ==

I made my first edit on Bulbapedia and messed up the link to SV's page in the trivia section. But I figured it out and fixed my mis-code. I didn't know if it would cause trouble with the history or anything, so to be on the safe side I just thought I'd explain myself.

'''Voltorb''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ビリリダマ''' ''Biriridama'') is an {{type|Electric}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation I]].

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

In [[Hisui]], Voltorb has a dual-type {{2t|Electric|Grass}} [[regional form]]. It evolves into Hisuian Electrode when exposed to a [[Leaf Stone]].

==Biology==
Voltorb is a spherical {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that resembles a {{i|Poké Ball}} with eyes and minus the button. The top half is red, while the bottom half is white. Because of its resemblance to Poké Balls, it is thought that it was created when one was exposed to an energy pulse.

This is supported by the fact that its components do not occur naturally. Voltorb is generally found in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Urban Pokémon|power plants}} and other areas with electric fields where it feeds. It was first discovered in the plant where modern Poké Balls were invented. It has a volatile temperament and will explode if agitated or bumped by the slightest contact. Due to being constantly mistaken as a [[Poké Ball]], Voltorb has reportedly zapped many humans as a result.

Hisuian Voltorb, like their modern counterparts, resemble the Poké Balls of the time period (made from [[Apricorn]]s), having the same wood grain pattern and a hole on top, from which it discharges all of its stored electricity while lacking the latch. On the inside, they contain numerous seeds, but it has been impossible to examine their interior due it being pitch-black. Hisuian Voltorb has a distinctive red wooden unibrow.

Unlike Kantonian Voltorb, they have friendly and excitable temperaments, which leads them to cluster around people, causing them to be a nuisance when they discharge. It is known to let out a great, uproarious laugh whenever it discharges. Hisuian Voltorb can store electric currents in its belly. There are stories of people temporarily plugging the holes of Hisuian Voltorb to prevent them from discharging before removing them from their settlements.<ref>[https://legends.pokemon.com/en-us/pokemon/voltorb/ Hisuian Voltorb | Pokémon Legends: Arceus Official Website]</ref> Despite the resemblance to Poké Balls however they have existed since at least the time of the ancient hero long before Poké Balls were invented.

==Trivia==
* In the English and European versions of {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, a game called [[Voltorb Flip]] is introduced in place of [[slot machine]]s. The game is similar to Minesweeper and largely focuses on flipping over cards to multiply the coins currently earned. Some cards, however, have Voltorb on them which will cause the {{player}} to lose [[coin]]s when flipped.
* Voltorb has the lowest base {{stat|Attack}} stat of all {{type|Electric}} Pokémon.
* According to [[Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver: Prima's Official Strategy Guide]], Voltorb is the only Pokémon recommended for the [[Pokéathlon|Disc Catch]] that is not a {{t|Flying}} type.
* In [[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet]], Voltorb will explode if the player walks to close to it and the Voltorb notices them.

===Origin===
Voltorb seems to be based upon the concept of a living {{i|Poké Ball}}, with its {{Shiny}} coloration possibly being based on a [[Great Ball]]. The design concept may be an inheritance from the time when the franchise was known as [[Capsule Monsters]], as early artworks show Poké Balls without the button in the middle. The idea of Voltorb and Electrode being mistaken for the standard Poké Balls that represent items is similar to a {{wp|Mimic (Dungeons & Dragons)|mimic}}, a monster archetype commonly found in RPGs.

It may also be based on ''{{wp|tsukumogami}}'', where items acquire a spirit and come to life on their 100th birthday. This may be referenced by Voltorb's [[List of Pokémon by Kanto Pokédex number|Kanto Pokédex]] and [[National Pokédex]] numbers, which are both 100.

Given its tendency to explode, it could also be based on a {{wp|bomb}}. It may also be related to self-destruct buttons, which are often red in media. Its unpredictable tendency to explode, as well as its shape and name, may be a reference to {{wp|ball lightning}}.

The expression on both Voltorb and Electrode may be a personification of the positive and negative charges associated with {{wp|electric charge}}. For their Kantonian forms, Voltorb has a negative angry look, where Electrode has a positive happy look. The polarity of these expressions, or charges, are reversed for their Hisuian forms.

Hisuian Voltorb and its {{t|Grass}} typing may be based on the fact that Poké Balls were originally made from [[Apricorn]]s. It may also be based on traditional Japanese fireworks: they are spherical in shape, with shells made of {{wp|papier-mâché}}, charges inside that are often made with rice husks, and a hole where the fuse goes. The fact that it has numerous seeds inside its body may also be inspired by a {{wp|seed ball}} (also known as a seed bomb), which are made by rolling various seeds with clay, forming a ball. The seed ball is then planted or thrown into the ground where vegetation is sparse, so that the seeds will germinate and grow. Hisuian Voltorb's Shiny coloration may be based on an {{hi|Ultra Ball}} or a {{hi|Heavy Ball}}.

====Name origin====
Voltorb may be a combination of ''volt'' and ''orb''.

Biriridama may be a combination of ビリビリ ''biribiri'' (sound of electric shock) and 玉 ''tama'' (sphere).

'''Quaxly''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''クワッス''' ''Kuwassu'') is a {{type|Water}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation IX]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Quaxwell}} starting at [[level]] 16, which evolves into {{p|Quaquaval}} starting at level 36.

Along with {{p|Sprigatito}} and {{p|Fuecoco}}, Quaxly is one of three [[starter Pokémon]] of [[Paldea]] available at the beginning of [[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet]]. They were also the first Generation IX Pokémon to be revealed to the public on February 27, 2022, through a [[Pokémon Presents]] video presentation.

==Biology==
Quaxly is a white duckling-like Pokémon. It has a yellow beak and blue eyes. It has teal webbed feet and a large teal coif-like crest that covers its head, with a feathery tuft in the front and a white curvy line shaped like a wave. Quaxly's coif has a smooth feel thanks to the rich, moist cream that holds it. The coif can become unkempt should it get dry.<ref name=SVsite>[https://scarletviolet.pokemon.com/en-us/pokemon/quaxly/ Quaxly — Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet | Official Website]</ref>

Quaxly is an earnest and tidy Pokémon, and tends to overthink things. Quaxly's feathers secrete a glossy gel which protects its body against water and grime. It hates getting itself dirty, especially on its head. Quaxly's strong legs allow it to swim without issues, even in strong currents. It also uses its legs to repeatedly kick its foes with swift speed.<ref name=SVsite /> Although found in [[Paldea]], Quaxly is not native to the region, instead having migrated from faraway places a long time ago.

==Trivia==
* Quaxly is the only {{type|Water}} starter Pokémon whose [[List of Pokémon by color|Pokédex color]] is not blue. Instead, its color is white.
* Quaxly is the only [[Starter Pokémon]] that is foreign to the [[region]] that it was introduced in. This is proven by it's [[Pokédex]] entry in Pokémon Scarlet which says," This Pokémon migrated to [[Paldea]] from distant lands long ago."
===Origin===
Quaxly appears to be based on a young {{wp|Crested (duck breed)|crested duck}}. The crest itself resembles a {{wp|beret}}, a {{wp|turban}}, or a {{wp|pompadour hairstyle}}. The teal colorations on its feet and crest may be inspired by the {{wp|blue-footed booby}}.

====Name origin====
Quaxly may be a combination of ''quack'', ''wax'' (referring to {{wp|hair wax}}), and ''duckling''.

Kuwassu may be a combination of クワック ''kuwakku'' (quack) and an {{wp|anagram}} of ワックス ''wakkusu'' (wax).

'''Adaman''' was introduced as a {{TCG|Supporter card}} in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] during the English Sword & Shield Series (the Japanese Sword & Shield Era). It was first released in the {{TCG|Time Gazer}} expansion before debuting in English in the {{TCG|Astral Radiance}} expansion, with a regular print, a {{TCG|Full Art card|Full Art}} and a Rainbow Rare print, all with artwork by [[Souichirou Gunjima]].

'''Voltorb''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ビリリダマ''' ''Biriridama'') is an {{type|Electric}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation I]].

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

In [[Hisui]], Voltorb has a dual-type {{2t|Electric|Grass}} [[regional form]]. It evolves into Hisuian Electrode when exposed to a [[Leaf Stone]].

==Biology==
Voltorb is a spherical {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that resembles a {{i|Poké Ball}} with eyes and minus the button. The top half is red, while the bottom half is white. Because of its resemblance to Poké Balls, it is thought that it was created when one was exposed to an energy pulse.

This is supported by the fact that its components do not occur naturally. Voltorb is generally found in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Urban Pokémon|power plants}} and other areas with electric fields where it feeds. It was first discovered in the plant where modern Poké Balls were invented. It has a volatile temperament and will explode if agitated or bumped by the slightest contact. Due to being constantly mistaken as a [[Poké Ball]], Voltorb has reportedly zapped many humans as a result.

Hisuian Voltorb, like their modern counterparts, resemble the Poké Balls of the time period (made from [[Apricorn]]s), having the same wood grain pattern and a hole on top, from which it discharges all of its stored electricity while lacking the latch. On the inside, they contain numerous seeds, but it has been impossible to examine their interior due it being pitch-black. Hisuian Voltorb has a distinctive red wooden unibrow.

Unlike Kantonian Voltorb, they have friendly and excitable temperaments, which leads them to cluster around people, causing them to be a nuisance when they discharge. It is known to let out a great, uproarious laugh whenever it discharges. Hisuian Voltorb can store electric currents in its belly. There are stories of people temporarily plugging the holes of Hisuian Voltorb to prevent them from discharging before removing them from their settlements.<ref>[https://legends.pokemon.com/en-us/pokemon/voltorb/ Hisuian Voltorb | Pokémon Legends: Arceus Official Website]</ref> Despite the resemblance to Poké Balls however they have existed since at least the time of the ancient hero long before Poké Balls were invented.

==Trivia==
* In the English and European versions of {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, a game called [[Voltorb Flip]] is introduced in place of [[slot machine]]s. The game is similar to Minesweeper and largely focuses on flipping over cards to multiply the coins currently earned. Some cards, however, have Voltorb on them which will cause the {{player}} to lose [[coin]]s when flipped.
* Voltorb has the lowest base {{stat|Attack}} stat of all {{type|Electric}} Pokémon.
* According to [[Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver: Prima's Official Strategy Guide]], Voltorb is the only Pokémon recommended for the [[Pokéathlon|Disc Catch]] that is not a {{t|Flying}} type.
* In [http://Pok%C3%A9mon_Scarlet_and_Violet Pokémon Scarlet and Violet], Voltorb will explode if the player walks to close to it and the Voltorb notices them.

===Origin===
Voltorb seems to be based upon the concept of a living {{i|Poké Ball}}, with its {{Shiny}} coloration possibly being based on a [[Great Ball]]. The design concept may be an inheritance from the time when the franchise was known as [[Capsule Monsters]], as early artworks show Poké Balls without the button in the middle. The idea of Voltorb and Electrode being mistaken for the standard Poké Balls that represent items is similar to a {{wp|Mimic (Dungeons & Dragons)|mimic}}, a monster archetype commonly found in RPGs.

It may also be based on ''{{wp|tsukumogami}}'', where items acquire a spirit and come to life on their 100th birthday. This may be referenced by Voltorb's [[List of Pokémon by Kanto Pokédex number|Kanto Pokédex]] and [[National Pokédex]] numbers, which are both 100.

Given its tendency to explode, it could also be based on a {{wp|bomb}}. It may also be related to self-destruct buttons, which are often red in media. Its unpredictable tendency to explode, as well as its shape and name, may be a reference to {{wp|ball lightning}}.

The expression on both Voltorb and Electrode may be a personification of the positive and negative charges associated with {{wp|electric charge}}. For their Kantonian forms, Voltorb has a negative angry look, where Electrode has a positive happy look. The polarity of these expressions, or charges, are reversed for their Hisuian forms.

Hisuian Voltorb and its {{t|Grass}} typing may be based on the fact that Poké Balls were originally made from [[Apricorn]]s. It may also be based on traditional Japanese fireworks: they are spherical in shape, with shells made of {{wp|papier-mâché}}, charges inside that are often made with rice husks, and a hole where the fuse goes. The fact that it has numerous seeds inside its body may also be inspired by a {{wp|seed ball}} (also known as a seed bomb), which are made by rolling various seeds with clay, forming a ball. The seed ball is then planted or thrown into the ground where vegetation is sparse, so that the seeds will germinate and grow. Hisuian Voltorb's Shiny coloration may be based on an {{hi|Ultra Ball}} or a {{hi|Heavy Ball}}.

====Name origin====
Voltorb may be a combination of ''volt'' and ''orb''.

Biriridama may be a combination of ビリビリ ''biribiri'' (sound of electric shock) and 玉 ''tama'' (sphere).
