ChocoLixo2: Added plot summary (this entire chapter is based on Pokémon 2000; it's been a while since I watched the movie, so if anyone could correct or add any references made to it, it would be a great help).

'''Get Lugia!''' (Japanese: '''ルギアをゲットせよ！！''' ''Get Lugia!!'') is the fifty-eighth chapter of the [[Pokémon Pocket Monsters]] manga.

==Plot==
After watching [[M02|Pokémon the Movie 2000: The Power of One]] with their friends [[Green (Pocket Monsters)|Green]] and [[Blue (Pocket Monsters)|Blue]], [[Red (Pocket Monsters)|Red]], [[Red's Clefairy|Clefairy]], and [[Red's Pikachu (Pocket Monsters)|Pikachu]] decide to go catch the legendary [[Lugia (Pokémon)|Lugia]], as the reward would make them rich. Clefairy says he'll catch it first, and Red replies that he's not a Pokémon trainer. Clefairy dresses up as a trainer and puts Pikachu on a leash. Green asks Clefairy why he wants to capture Lugia so badly; Clefairy lies and says it reminds him of his late mother, which is an obvious lie and makes Red beat him up. Clefairy claims he will catch Lugia first and won't share a single penny of the reward. Red questions how he could do that if neither of them knows where Lugia lives. Clefairy says [[Professor Oak (Pocket Monsters)|Professor Oak]] must know, and the two go to his lab.

At the lab, Oak reveals that he also wants to capture Lugia and had already planned to send a research team after it. Oak explains that according to a legend, it lives on a remote island far from where they are. But since Lugia sleeps at the bottom of the ocean, it's necessary to retrieve three mystical orbs from [[Articuno (Pokémon)|Articuno]], [[Zapdos (Pokémon)|Zapdos]], and [[Moltres (Pokémon)|Moltres]] to awaken it. Green and Blue listened to everything Oak said through the window. Professor Oak tells Red that he will provide funds for the journey, and the trio sets off in search of the [[Legendary birds|Legendary Birds]].

The trio decides to search for Articuno first and boards a luxurious plane, followed by Green and Blue. Clefairy suggests renting a yacht, and Red complains that they've already spent too much of Professor Oak's money and that he would never forgive Clefairy if he didn't catch Lugia. On the yacht, they search for any trace of the legendary birds' habitat for 10 days. Clefairy sees the silhouettes of the three using binoculars but doesn't know which one is Articuno. Green and Blue appear with a bigger yatch and flip Red's yacht over. Pikachu then uses his tail to propel the yacht, but they crash into one of the islands. Pikachu electrocutes Red and Clefairy out of frustration.

Red, Green, Blue, Pikachu, and Clefairy land on Articuno's island. It is extremely cold. Articuno appears and asks what the group is doing on the island, saying he will only give up his orb if he is defeated. Articuno uses [[Ice Beam (move)|Ice Beam]] and [[Freeze (status condition)|freezes]] Clefairy. Clefairy then puts himself in an ice-shaving machine and gets completely shattered. Articuno is horrified by Clefairy's ability to stay alive even after dismembering his entire body. Clefairy awkwardly reassembles his body, and Articuno faints from terror.

After taking Articuno's orb, they go to Moltres' island, which, unlike Articuno's, is extremely hot. Moltres emerges from a volcanic crater, already aware of the group's intentions. Clefairy says that Moltres will be injured, and Moltres responds by attacking him with a [[Fire (type)|Fire-Type]] move. Clefairy falls into the water but quickly mounts Moltres, claiming that [[PM032|if it drinks Moltres' blood, it will become immortal]]. Clefairy bites and sucks Moltres' blood like a vampire, but drinks so much that Moltres falls to the ground anemic and weak, and Clefairy becomes so engorged with blood that it cannot move.

After retrieving Moltres' orb, the group sets off in search of Zapdos' island, which is in a stormy atmosphere. Zapdos appears and attacks them; Pikachu unleashes a 10,000-volt attack on it, and Zapdos counterattacks with [[Thunderbolt (move)|a 100,000-volt attack]], defeating Pikachu. Clefairy attaches a car battery to Zapdos to drain all its energy. Zapdos attempts a 2 million-volt attack and explodes the car battery, knocking itself out in the process. Zapdos gives up and hands over its orb.

With all the orbs in hand, they attempt to summon Lugia by placing them in a shrine. As soon as two orbs are inserted, a point in the ocean begins to bubble close to them, signaling that Lugia is reacting. When Clefairy places the third orb, all three fall to the ground and shatter into pieces. Red becomes extremely furious with Clefairy and kicks him.

Unexpectedly, something was still moving in the water, but it wasn't Lugia, but rather [[Jynx (Pokémon)|Jynx]], who was just swimming in the area. Still furious with Clefairy, Red asks what they're going to do now that they've ruined their only chance to catch Lugia. Clefairy replies that he'll figure something out. The group returns from their trip and meets Professor Oak, who is eager to see Lugia. Red then supposedly calls him over, and Clefairy appears, attempting to fly through the sky in a cheap Lugia costume. Oak asks why Lugia is so fat.

'''Welcome Back, Clefairy!!''' (Japanese: '''ピッピのふたたび！！''' ''{{tt|Pippi|Clefairy}}, Again!!'') is the sixty-second chapter of the [[Pokémon Pocket Monsters]] manga.

==Plot==
Three years have passed since [[Red's Clefairy|Clefairy]] [[PM061|supposedly sacrificed his life]] to prevent the destruction of [[Pallet Town]]. [[Red (Pocket Monsters)|Red]] and his family moved to [[New Bark Town]] after his father was transferred. Red is fishing in a river when his mother announces that breakfast is ready. Red, who is depressed, says he's not hungry and expresses that the move was a good idea, as it helps him forget about Clefairy's death.

Meanwhile, [[Red's Pikachu (Pocket Monsters)|Pikachu]] goes around town looking for Red after they were separated. A woman in a kimono says he's fishing on a riverbank. Pikachu finally finds him and runs to greet him. Red, who previously in the chapter only had his back visible, turns to look at Pikachu and reveals he's gained a lot of weight. The two look at the sky, and Red wonders if Clefairy is also eating a lot in heaven; his image appears amidst the clouds.

A biker gang appears, and their leader is Clefairy in the flesh, carrying a bag. Red and Pikachu chase after him demanding explanations. Red finally catches him, and Clefairy explains how he survived the missile explosion: when he rode [[Professor Oak (Pocket Monsters)|Professor Oak]]'s missile, he had ulterior motives, wanting to be venerated as the hero of [[Pallet Town]]; along the way, he finally realized that if the two missiles made contact, he would die in the process. Clefairy then jumped at the last minute and crashed to the ground, remaining unconscious for a week. In a semi-conscious state, he tried to return to Red's house intending to eat his [[PM061|mother's feast]], but it was too late; Red had already moved to New Bark. Clefairy then vented his anger by joining a biker gang.

Red and Pikachu are furious with Clefairy for not letting them know he was alive. Pikachu says he's had sleepless nights worrying about him, Clefairy responds by sarcastically asking if he had lost his sleep after eating Red's mother's feast. Red then beats Clefairy and tells him to put it in his gut that he still cares and took raised him with all his heart. Clefairy takes it literally and punches his abdomen.

The bag Clefairy was carrying starts to move and Clefairy desperately tries to hide what's inside. Clefairy tries to escape and Red tries pulling the bag from him, the bag tears and a [[Marill (Pokémon)|Marill]] comes out. Clefairy explains that he caught it in a nearby forest and intends to sell it for a large amount of money, as this is a new species of Pokémon. His plan is to capture all the new species of Pokémon in [[Johto]], sell them, and get rich. Red disagrees and runs off with Marill for it to be studied at Professor Oak's Laboratory.

In the laboratory, Professor Oak is surprised to see Clefairy and states that he already knows the Pokémon they brought, revealing it to be called Marill. Oak says it's time to tell Red something, and the trio follows the professor to a special room. Inside are [[Gold (Pocket Monsters)|Gold]], [[Silver (Pocket Monsters)|Silver]], and [[Professor Elm]]. Professor Oak introduces them and says they are trainers he has prepared to embark on a journey and complete the [[Pokédex]]. Red then questions him about having already completed the Pokédex 3 years ago. Oak explains that new adventures await in Johto and that they have officially entered the "[[Generation II|Gold & Silver Saga]]." Professor Oak gives Red the newest model of [[Pokédex]] and a [[Pokégear]] with a built-in radio and telephone. Professor Oak also explains that he no longer considers Red's Pokédex complete, and that the [[Pokémon Trainer|trainers]] in Johto are much more powerful. Pikachu gets ready for the journey, unlike Clefairy who isn't at all enthusiastic.

Red realizes he needs to get a new [[First partner Pokémon|First Partner Pokémon]]. Gold chooses [[Cyndaquil (Pokémon)|Cyndaquil]] and Silver chooses [[Totodile (Pokémon)|Totodile]]. Clefairy says that these Johto Pokémon are nothing compared to him, and in response Totodile bites him violently. Red asks if there isn't a new Pokémon for him, and Professor Elm hands him an [[Mystery Egg|egg]]. Clefairy almost cooks it, but Elm stops him and explains that it's a Pokémon egg. Red gets excited, Professor Oak shows them the direction of their new journey, and Red, Gold, and Silver now consider themselves rivals.

==Major events==
* A 3 year timeskip happens.
* [[Red (Pocket Monsters)|Red]] and his family have moved from [[Pallet Town]] to [[New Bark Town]].

'''The End of the Journey!!''' (Japanese: '''旅の終点！！''' ''The End of the Journey!!'') is the sixty-first chapter of the [[Pokémon Pocket Monsters]] manga.

==Plot==
After a long journey, [[Red (Pocket Monsters)|Red]], [[Red's Charizard|Clefairy]], and [[Red's Pikachu (Pocket Monsters)|Pikachu]] return to [[Pallet Town]]. Red says it's finally time to relax, but Clefairy says he doesn't think he can relax, claiming his father owns a fabric shop and that as an only child he should take care of the shop after returning home. However, he was lying, and he just doesn't know what to do after the journey ends. Red says they can do various fun activities and that he has finally completed his [[Pokédex]]. Upon arriving in the city, he finds it deserted and quiet. Several fireworks appear in the air, and two giant banners congratulating Red, Pikachu, and Clefairy are unfurled across the city. A crowd of Pallet Town citizens appears to welcome the trio. Red wonders how they know they were coming, since he didn't tell anyone. [[Professor Oak (Pocket Monsters)|Professor Oak]] appears and explains that he prepared a surprise. Red is declared a Pokémon Master and a star of the city and he's going to participate in a parade. A reporter from Pallet Town TV appears to interview him, and the Miss Pallet Town duo arrives with a bouquet of flowers. Red and Pikachu receive a kiss from them, Clefairy prepares for his turn and is kissed by a [[Jynx (Pokémon)|Jynx]]. Red, Pikachu, Clefairy, and Professor Oak get into a car and begin parading through the city. Red asks to stop the car after spotting his mother on the crowd, and he mistakenly hugs Clefairy dressed as his mom. Red's mom says she has prepared a feast for them to eat after the parade. Clefairy is thrilled.

A [[wp:Jumbotron|Jumbotron]] on a nearby building has its signal interrupted, and [[Giovanni (Pocket Monsters)|Giovanni]] appears, announcing that he has sent a gift for Red to celebrate his great achievement, which will arrive in 10 minutes. One of Professor Oak's [[Professor's assistant|Aides]] appears and says that his radar is detecting a strange object coming towards Pallet Town. Giovanni's "gift" is revealed to be a [[Team Rocket]] missile about to come destroy the city.

With 5 minutes remaining, Professor Oak has the idea to counterattack Team Rocket's missile with his own, but he hasn't finished it yet, so there's a high chance it will fail and not be able to destroy Giovanni's missile. Clefairy tells him not to give up and mounts Professor Oak's missile, saying he'll destroy Giovanni's missile with his own strenght, promising not to die until he tastes Red's mother's feast. With 10 seconds left before the missile hits the city, Clefairy presses the launch button on his own and launches himself at Giovanni's missile.

The two missiles collide and cause a large explosion in the sky. Red shouts Clefairy's name loudly. Depressed by the presumed death of his companion, Red and Pikachu walk alone through the streets at sunset. Red says that every time he looks at Pikachu, he's reminded of Clefairy, and says that the two should part ways. Pikachu is reluctant, and Red tells him to listen to him as a trainer and return to the forest with the rest of [[Pikachu (Pokémon)|his species]]. As soon as Pikachu leaves, Red apologizes to Pikachu, talking to himself.

Arriving home, [[Green (Pocket Monsters)|Green]], [[Blue (Pocket Monsters)|Blue]], and Red's mom quietly greet him with the promised feast on the table. Red climbs the stairs to his room. Green says he understands how he feels but that he should eat so he doesn't go hungry. Red then exclaims that Green doesn't understand him and slams the door. Red lies down on the bed, and Pikachu lies down under a tree in a forest full of Pikachu. Separated, the two look up at the same time and remember Clefairy with fond memories.

==Major events==

* [[Red (Pocket Monsters)|Red]] completes his [[Pokédex]] offscreen.
* [[Red's Clefairy|Clefairy]] is presumed dead after sacrificing himself in an missile explosion.
* [[Red (Pocket Monsters)|Red]] and [[Red's Pikachu (Pocket Monsters)|Pikachu]] part ways.

The {{player}}'s '''mother''' (Japanese: '''お{{tt|母|かあ}}さん''' ''mother'') is a prominent character in the various [[canon]]s of the [[Pokémon]] franchise.

Other notable mothers also appear in some Pokémon media.

==In the core series games==
The player's mother, often referred to informally as '''mom''' (Japanese: '''ママ''' ''mom''), is a character in every [[core series]] {{pkmn|games|Pokémon game}}, except {{g|Legends: Arceus}}. Although different each time, she will always be the one to see her child off on their journey with their [[first partner Pokémon]].

When players speaks to their mother, she will heal the [[party]], except in [[Johto]], where the player must instead use the healing machine in [[Professor Elm]]'s lab. The player's mother may also do several other things specific to the game. When the player is setting off on their journey as a [[Pokémon Trainer]], the player's mother will often give them the [[Running Shoes]] as a gift, either in person or via a messenger, reading the provided instructions as well.

===''Pokémon the Series''===
In {{aniseries|PTS}}, each of the main characters which have a player character [[cross-canon counterpart|counterpart]] have had their mother introduced except for {{Jo|Jimmy}} and {{Jo|Marina}}.
* {{Delia}}, {{Ash}}'s mother, is introduced in the very first episode and is shown to travel to some of the [[Pokémon League]] competitions that her son takes part in. She also has her own Pokémon, a {{p|Mr. Mime}} nicknamed [[Mimey]], which cleans the house for her.
* [[Caroline]], the mother of {{an|May}} and [[Max]], is a big supporter of May in her quest to become a [[Top Coordinator]], even traveling long distancies to watch her daughter compete in the [[Hoenn Grand Festival]]. Unlike her game counterpart, however, she lives in [[Petalburg City]].
* [[Johanna]], {{an|Dawn}}'s mother, apparently lives life very similarly to her own game counterpart. She has a {{TP|Johanna|Glameow}} and an {{p|Umbreon}}, and is a former winner of the [[Sinnoh Grand Festival]]. Dawn grew up inspired by her achievements and decided to become a {{pkmn|Coordinator}} like her mother.
* {{kal|Grace}}, {{an|Serena}}'s mother, also lives life similarly to her own game counterpart. She has a pet {{p|Fletchling}} and {{p|Rhyhorn}}, and was once a {{p|Rhyhorn}} racer.
Unlike the mothers in the games, however, all of them lead a moderately more active lifestyle.

The following is a list of mothers by the [[series]] they were introduced. Some characters that were introduced in related media such as the [[side story episode]]s are listed with the relevant series.

===Magical Pokémon Journey===
[[Hazel]]'s mother and father are mentioned, but are never shown.

===Pokémon Adventures===
====History====
=====Kanto=====
{{adv|Green}} was separated from her [[Green's parents|parents]] because she was kidnapped by a {{DL|Tower duo (Adventures)|Ho-Oh|bird Pokémon}} when she was only five years old (six years prior to the first chapter), on the orders of the [[Masked Man]]. Green's managed to come into contact with her long-lost, but they were kidnapped by a {{adv|Deoxys}} sent by [[Team Rocket]]. {{adv|Green}}, {{adv|Red}}, and {{adv|Blue}} battled Team Rocket on the [[Sevii Islands]], and Green's parents were eventually rescued.

In ''[[PS337|Epilogue]]'', Green's parents appeared together with many people who came to the {{gdis|Battle Frontier|III}} as a result of [[Scott]] making a wish on {{adv|Jirachi}}. Green, who had been freed from the petrifaction by Jirachi's power, became fired up at the thought of her parents watching her battle against the other Pokédex holders at the [[Battle Dome]] tournament.

=====Johto=====
{{adv|Gold}}'s mother (based on {{OBP|Mom|Johto|the mother}} from [[Johto]] games) made an appearance in the beginning of this chapter. She was seen nagging him about his messy hairstyle, calling it "explosive".

In the {{MangaArc|Gold, Silver & Crystal}}, {{adv|Crystal}}'s mother [[Mirei]] was introduced. When Crystal was unable to catch Pokémon anymore, Mirei slapped her and told her that she must stop crying and complete the [[Pokédex]] as requested by [[Professor Oak]]. In the {{MangaArc|HeartGold & SoulSilver}}, Mirei picked new clothes for her (the clothes are based on {{ga|Lyra}}'s outfit from {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}), much to Crystal's dismay.

=====Hoenn=====
{{adv|Ruby}}'s mother moved from [[Johto]] to [[Hoenn]] with her husband and son. In the {{MangaArc|Ruby & Sapphire}}, she was seen driving the [[Inside of Truck|truck]], and was later seen worrying about her son and her [[Norman|husband]].

{{adv|Emerald}}'s parents were stated to be deceased, making him an orphan. The responsibility over Emerald's care was passed between various relatives until he ran away.

=====Sinnoh=====
{{adv|Diamond}}'s mother [[Johanna]] (based on the same character from the [[Sinnoh]] games) used to be a {{pkmn|Coordinator}}. She debuted in {{MangaArc|Diamond & Pearl}} and gave Diamond his winter clothing. Johanna became a Super Contest Coordinator once more by the end of the {{MangaArc|Platinum}}.

{{adv|Platinum}}'s mother [[Professor Yanase Berlitz]], a Pokémon researcher, debutted in a flashback at the {{MangaArc|Ruby & Sapphire}}, although her daughter debutted later in the {{MangaArc|Diamond & Pearl}}. Yanase Berlitz was one of the scientists involved with the attempt to create an artificial [[Jade Orb|Green Orb]] to control {{p|Rayquaza}}. When a {{p|Salamence}} broke into the lab and started rampaging, Rayquaza was freed from its cage, and the laboratory was destroyed. Yanase and the other injured scientists were found by [[Norman]].

=====Unova=====
{{adv|Blake}}'s parents have been stated to be deceased, making him an orphan. Blake was raised in the [[International Police]].

{{adv|Whitley}}'s mother (based on {{OBP|Mom|Black 2 and White 2|the mother}} from [[Pokémon Black and White Versions 2|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2]]) used to be a member of [[Team Plasma]]. She was seen accompanying her to her first day at [[Aspertia City]]'s [[Aspertia Gym|Trainers' School]]. She decided to switch Whitley's school in order to cut off all connections with her past as a [[Team Plasma]] member.

=====Kalos=====
{{adv|Y}}'s mother is {{kal|Grace}} (based on the same character from the [[Kalos]] games), a famous and very successful {{p|Rhyhorn}} racer. Her relationship with her daughter is not very good, since Y wishes to become a {{tc|Sky Trainer}} against her mother's wishes. Grace also voluntarily takes care of {{adv|X}}, since his parents are in a faraway region due to their work.

===Pokémon: Yeah! I Got Pokémon!===
In [[Pokémon: Yeah! I Got Pokémon!]], [[Shu's father]] is an inventor who created the [[Income]], a device which [[Shu]] uses to communicate with his {{TP|Shu|Pikachu}}. Shu's father has spent the last five years of his life attempting to capture {{p|Mew}}.

[[Shu's mother]] has appeared in the manga as well.

===Pokémon Zensho===
{{zensho|Shigeru}}'s mom appeared in a flashback in [[PZ01]].

=== Pokémon Pocket Monsters ===
Red's mom briefly appears in [[PM061]] and [[PM062]].

==In the other media==
[[File:Madoka Mother PPA.png|250px|thumb|Madoka's mother]]
===A Pocketful of Adventures===
[[Madoka's mother]] is a supporting character of ''[[A Pocketful of Adventures]]''. She is the mother of the series' protagonist, [[Madoka Akagi]], and her role in the series is quite similar to that of {{ga|Red}}'s mother in the [[Generation I]] games.
{{-}}
==Trivia==
* [[Generation V]] is the only [[generation]] that introduced two different mother characters for each set of players. However, {{B2W2}} are not the first games in which two mother characters are present, as {{ga|Red}}'s mother can be visited in [[Pallet Town]] in the [[Generation II]] games and in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}.
* Although {{ga|Red}}'s mother has blue hair in the [[core series]] games, {{OBP|Red|Origins|his}} mother has brown hair in [[Pokémon Origins]].
* In {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}, there is leftover code that allows the {{player}} to name their mother. A control character displays the mother's name but it is never used.
** During the [[Dude]]'s catching tutorial, the player's name is temporarily stored in the memory address for the mother's name, so that the player's name can be temporarily overwritten with "DUDE" during the tutorial, then restored afterwards. A similar technique is used to store the player's name in Generation I during the {{ka|old man}}'s catching tutorial.<ref>[https://iimarckus.org/i/naming-mother/ Naming Your Mother]</ref>
* [[Johanna]] and {{kal|Grace}} are the only mothers of player characters in the core series with official names.

==Trivia==
[[File:Soda Pop Poketsume.png|thumb|250px|Soda Pop in ''[[A Pocketful of Adventures]]'']]
* At normal purchase prices, the Soda Pop is the most cost-effective HP recovery item, recovering 1 HP per {{pdollar}}6 spent. However, the [[Max Potion]] (as well as [[Full Restore]] and [[Revive]]s in some cases) can potentially be more cost-effective if used under certain circumstances; the ideal situation for a Max Potion is a {{p|Blissey}} with maximum {{EV}}s and {{IV}}s in HP with 1 HP remaining, which would recover around 1 HP per {{pdollar}}3.5 spent.
* Artwork from Generation I translates the name of the item as ''Psycho Soda.''
** It also appears as ''Psycho Soda'' in [[PM008|Chapter 8]] of [[Chuang Yi]]'s translation of [[Pokémon Pocket Monsters]]
* Soda Pop may be based on {{wp|ramune}}, a type of drink originating from Japan.
* In the [[PPA05|fifth episode]] of ''[[A Pocketful of Adventures]]'', [[Yuki Koide]] appeared drinking a Soda Pop.<ref>[https://dogasu.bulbagarden.net/features/poketsume/poketsume_episodes.html#Episode_05 ''Cram Adventures Into a Pocket'' - Dogasu's Backpack]</ref>

'''Introducing the Pokémon Clefairy!!'''/'''{{tt|Clefairy's Debut|Chuang Yi}}''' (Japanese: '''ポケモン、ピッピ登場！！''' ''Introducing the Pokémon {{tt|Pippi|Clefairy}}!!'') is the first chapter of the [[Pokémon Pocket Monsters]] manga. It was first published in CoroCoro Special's April 1996 issue, on March 15th, 1996.

==Plot==
Two young boys are running in the streets of [[Pallet Town]]. They bump into each other and are startled when they realize they recognize each other - one boy is Isamu Akai (nicknamed "{{PPM|Red}}") and one is Kai Midorikawa (nicknamed "{{PPM|Green}}"). Red explains to Green that he was in a hurry because he was summoned to {{PPM|Professor Oak}}'s lab. Green says that he was also called to the lab, and they decide to race each other there.

Red decides to take a shortcut through a field of [[wild Pokémon]]. A talking {{p|Nidoran♂}} approaches Red and warns him that they're monsters. When Red laughs, the Nidoran♂ breathes fire on him. While Red is running for the nearest source of water to put the fire out, coconuts start falling from the sky on to Nidoran♂ and its friends which were also chasing after Red. Red looks up and sees that it is a {{p|Clefairy}} that is throwing the coconuts. When Nidoran♂ yells to Clefairy to come down from the tree, it slips and hits Nidoran♂ on the head, knocking it out.

Red thanks the Clefairy for its help and then resumes his frenzied dash to Professor Oak's lab, only to find out that Green had beat him there anyways. Professor Oak tells the two boys that he has something important to announce: he's bald. When Red and Green finally get him to be serious, Oak gives them both [[Pokédex]]es, explaining that he's too old to do field work and that he would like them to complete the Pokédex for him. He unveils three [[first partner Pokémon]]: {{p|Bulbasaur}}, {{p|Charmander}} and {{p|Squirtle}}. Green hastily chooses Charmander and begins to leave the lab. Before he opens the door, however, the same Clefairy from before bursts through and bounces around the room. Oak yells at the Clefairy, saying that he had asked it not to come into the lab, but Clefairy starts massaging Oak's shoulders and he soon forgets what he was yelling about. Red decides that he would like Clefairy to be his [[List of characters' first Pokémon|first Pokémon]], much to Oak's surprise. Clefairy is so thrilled at the thought of traveling with Red that it starts licking his face.

Green is skeptical that Red can be a successful Trainer with Clefairy, and his Charmander ends up attacking Clefairy, setting its tail on fire. As Clefairy is frantically running around the lab trying to find a fire extinguisher, it ends up setting more things on fire, causing Oak to get even angrier than before. The chapter ends with Clefairy and Red outside the lab (which is still on fire), with Professor Oak yelling at Clefairy from the distance.

'''Squirtle, the Crybaby Pokémon''' (Japanese: '''泣き虫ポケモンゼニガメ登場''' ''Squirtle, the Crybaby Pokémon'') is the forty-seventh chapter of the [[Pokémon Pocket Monsters]] manga.

==Plot==
After being kicked out of its house by [[Giovanni's Hitmonlee and Hitmonchan|Hitmonlee and Hitmonchan]], a Pokémon falls into a river. Meanwhile, [[Red (Pocket Monsters)|Red]], [[Red's Clefairy|Clefairy]], and [[Red's Pikachu (Pocket Monsters)|Pikachu]] are fishing. The same Pokémon from before falls onto Clefairy's bait, revealing itself to be an injured [[Squirtle (Pokémon)|Squirtle]], and Clefairy briefly tries to grill it. Squirtle cries extremely loudly, and Red asks what happened. Squirtle explains that he was adopted by a mysterious trainer as a baby and used to be treated with affection, but everything changed when the trainer began training him for use in [[Pokémon battle|Pokémon battles]]. Squirtle was very weak and he began to be mistreated and abused by the Pokémon in his home, until one day the trainer decided to kick him out. Squirtle is now determined to become strong and prove to its trainer what he is capable of, and says he will embark on a journey to find a Pokémon that has defeated the [[Elite Four]] and ask for their help in training. Squirtle was looking for Pikachu, but Clefairy reveals that he [[PM038|defeated the Elite Four]] and that Red and Pikachu accompanied him. Clefairy offers to help him, and he and Squirtle begin training. Initially, Clefairy demands money, but Red beats him up and makes him give up.

The training begins with a race, followed by Clefairy resting and taking a nap. Red beats Clefairy up again and tells him to take the training seriously; Squirtle asks when they will start the training for real and says he wants to be the strongest Pokémon. Clefairy responds by handing him a punching bag and tells him to hit it as hard as possible. Squirtle hits it, and the bag kicks back, defeating Squirtle. Clefairy yells at him and says that the correct way to hit is to concentrate, launch your body, and spin it with full force to hit the enemy. Squirtle misinterprets the instructions and begins to spin uncontrollably.

Two days have passed since Squirtle began training, growing stronger each day. His final task is to defeat Clefairy in battle. Squirtle slips on a banana peel, sending Clefairy away and defeating him.

Ready for his revenge, Squirtle, accompanied by Red, Clefairy, and Pikachu, returns to his former trainer's house. Upon arriving, it is revealed that [[Giovanni (Pocket Monsters)|Giovanni and his brother]] where the ones who adopted and trained Squirtle. Squirtle tells them that Clefairy trained him and that he is no longer a crybaby. In response, Giovanni unleashes his team of powerful Pokémon to attack him. Squirtle punches Hitmonchan in the face; surprised, Hitmonchan counterattacks, sending Squirtle flying and beating him several times. Realizing that Squirtle is unable to defeat Hitmonchan, Clefairy interrupts the fight, puts on Squirtle's shell, and disguises himself as his cousin. The disguise doesn't work, and all of Giovanni's Pokémon go after and beat Clefairy, damaging Squirtle's shell. Squirtle is furious about the state of its shell, and Hitmonlee makes fun of him for it.

Squirtle becomes extremely offended and starts crying uncontrollably. Giovanni gets desperate and warns that things will get ugly if Squirtle doesn't stop crying. With the house flooded with tears, Clefairy hits Squirtle to make him stop crying, which makes it cry even harder and causes everyone to be thrown out the window by the pressure of the water. Clefairy begs him to stop crying or Squirtle will forever be known as a Crybaby Pokémon. Squirtle doesn't care anymore and accepts his fate, continuing to cry, leading Clefairy to conclude that it is both the strongest and weakest Pokémon.

{{Incomplete|needs=Translation glossary, more information on the TCG and tournaments, more information about the early relationship with Gradiente}}
The [[Pokémon]] franchise arrived in '''{{wp|Brazil}}''' on 1998, with the release of [[Pokémon Red and Blue Versions|''Pokémon Versão Vermelha & Pokémon Versão Azul'']] by Gradiente.<ref>[https://archive.org/details/super-game-power-124-agosto-2005/SuperGamePower%2055%20-%20Outubro%201998/page/n1/mode/2up Ad from Super Game Power Magazine (October, 1998)] </ref><ref>[https://archive.org/details/nintendo-world-brasil-3-novembro-1998/page/n19/mode/2up Ad from Nintendo World Magazine (November, 1998)]</ref>

In terms of gameplay, the [[Pokémon games]] have been officially released and distributed in English for Brazil and other nations of South America and [[Pokémon in Latin America|Latin America]]. Packages, game manuals and cart designs of several [[Generation I]] and [[Generation II]] games (e.g. [[Pokémon Red and Blue Versions]] and [[Pokémon Gold and Silver Versions]]) have been properly localized by Nintendo's official distributor at the time [[wp:IGB_Eletrônica|Gradiente]], but the {{wp|ROM image}} itself remains available exclusively in English. Only more recently have there been Pokémon games in Portuguese, the official and national language of Brazil.<ref>[https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/gbc/198308-pokemon-gold-version/data GameFAQs listing (SA, Gradiente)]</ref><ref>[https://archives.glitchcity.info/forums/board-10/thread-8969/page-0.html Archived Glitch City Laboratories thread by Torchickens (User:Chickasaurus on Bulbapedia)]</ref><ref>[https://imgur.com/RwbHADV Imgur.com picture of Gold/Silver/Crystal front cart art from an unknown person]</ref><ref>[https://i.imgur.com/eDoO1jA.png The back of Brazil Pokémon Crystal, produced in collaboration with Gradiente Entertainment]</ref>

"''{{tt|Agarre todos... se puder!|Grab them all... if you can!}}''" was the Brazilian slogan used during the release of the [[Generation I]] games. When the first two [[Generation II]] games debuted in that region, the tagline was changed to "''{{tt|Pegue todos... se puder!|Catch them all... if you can!}}''" and was later changed to "''{{tt|Temos que pegar!|Gotta catch!}}''" (which was previously used on marketing, merchandising and other media, including the animated series in that region) starting with the release of [[Pokémon Crystal]].

The [[Pokémon animated series]] arrived in '''{{wp|Brazil}}''' on May 10, 1999, with the broadcast of ''[[EP001|Pokémon, Eu Escolho Você!]]'' during a morning TV program called ''{{tt|Eliana & Alegria|Eliana & Joy}}'' on {{wp|Record (television network)|Rede Record}}.

Currently, the [[Pokémon animated series]] debuts on [[Netflix]], [[Pokémon Adventures]] is published by [[Panini Comics]], and the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] is released by {{wp|Copag}}.

==Pokémon video games==
{{bulbanews|Pokémon GO update to add Brazilian Portuguese}}
All [[Pokémon games]] have been available to Brazilian customers in English. Some have had a Brazilian localization attempt of any sort, others would later translate the games themselves. In 2001, the {{wp|Brazilian advisory rating system|country's advisory rating system}} began rating video games. By that time, Nintendo's distributor was {{wp|Gradiente}}. In 2003, Gradiente and Nintendo parted ways and as a result, games were imported straight from the US with the ESRB rating intact. However, from January 2015 to May 2017, Nintendo's officially licensed distributors {{n|Nintendo leaving Brazilian gaming market|ceased trade}} in the Brazilian market due to the ongoing, significantly high taxation tariffs on imported electronic goods, especially as direct competition recently decided to open manufacturing plants within the country to lift some of these tariffs. In May 2017, [http://www.ncgames.com.br/ NC Games] became the new licensed distributor of Nintendo products, until that company closed in 2019. The games have been digitally distributed through the Brazilian version of Nintendo eShop, also known as [https://store.nintendo.com.br/ Loja Nintendo] ("Nintendo Shop") ever since. Since then, Nintendo was officially re-launched in Brazil on September 18, 2020 with products being distributed through Ingram Micro.

{{g|Trading Card Game Online}}, {{g|GO}}, {{g|TCG Card Dex}}, {{g|UNITE}}, {{g|Trading Card Game Live}}, and {{g|Trading Card Game Pocket}} are the only Pokémon games to have had the gameplay itself translated into Brazilian Portuguese. In the past, Gradiente managed the packaging and cart appearance and production of earlier Pokémon games. Today, this is managed by [https://www.nintendo.com/pt_BR/ Nintendo Brasil], but some fans have expressed their interest in more games being translated into Brazilian Portuguese; a movement called [http://www.queremosnintendo.com.br/ Queremos Nintendo].

===Distribution events===
There have been official [[Event Pokémon|events]] for Pokémon distribution in some Brazilian cities for [[List of local English event Pokémon distributions in Generation IV#Latin America Jirachi|Jirachi]] in 2010, [[List of local English event Pokémon distributions in Generation IV#Americas Winter 2011 Celebi|Celebi]] in 2011, [[List of local English event Pokémon distributions in Generation V#Summer 2012 Keldeo|Keldeo]] in 2012, [[List of local English event Pokémon distributions in Generation V#Spring 2013 Meloetta|Meloetta]] and [[List of local English event Pokémon distributions in Generation V#International Summer 2013 Shiny Pokémon of myth|the Shiny Pokémon of myth]] in 2013 and [[List of American region serial code event Pokémon distributions in Generation VI#October 2014 Pokémon|a Shiny Gengar and Diancie]] in 2014. From January 2015 to September 2023, it was uncertain if any other official events would be distributed in Brazil, since Nintendo had cut ties with its main distributor in the country. In October 2023, ten years after the previous event to be held in Brazil, [[List of event Pokémon distributions in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet#Trixie's Mimikyu|Trixie's Mimikyu]] was distributed to players who attended the {{wp|Brasil Game Show}} convention of that year, from October 11 to October 15 in the city of {{wp|São Paulo}}.

==Pokémon animation==
Pokémon started airing on {{wp|Record (television network)|Rede Record}} on May 10, 1999. It aired daily in the morning. A few months later, it also began to air on {{wp|Cartoon Network (Latin America)|Cartoon Network}}. Both channels noticed the great success that they had in their hands, and after several reruns of the [[S01|first season]], the [[S02|second season]] began to air on both channels, first on RecordTV, and then on Cartoon Network starting the week after.

The second season had also high ratings, eventually Record acquired [[S03|seasons three]] and [[S04|four]] as well. Around this time, in 2002, the success of Pokémon on Record led another network, {{wp|Sistema Brasileiro de Televisão|SBT}}, to buy the rights to the first three movies and [[Mewtwo Returns]] in partnership with [[Warner Bros.|Warner Bros. International Television]], making the films a well-known part of SBT's film rotation.

Since Record had aired its episodes in a short period of time, it started to rerun episodes frequently, a fact which lowered its overall audience ratings. Because of this, the channel {{wp|TV Globo}} purchased the rights to [[S05|season five]] in 2003. Globo aired all episodes of season five and the first 14 episodes of [[S06|season six]], before airing a few episodes of the latter only after midnight to fill space, Globo later acquired [[S07|season seven]] airing a few episodes normally with the rest only airing on satellite, Globo would still re-air some episodes of Master Quest to fill spaces before completely dropping the show in 2008.

In 2007, the channel Jetix would air [[M05|Pokémon Heroes]] twice, being the only times these movies were ever distributed officially in the country.

In 2008, {{wp|RedeTV!}} needed a temporary cartoon to fill a space which would be taken by a new show, and acquired the first season to do so. However, Pokémon was so successful that RedeTV! acquired other seasons to air at night on the channel at 6pm. Due to Globo still having the rights to seasons 5-7, RedeTV! had to skip the show to [[S08|season eight]], they would continue to air new episodes to the channel until [[S10|season ten]] when they finally started to rerun it from the beggining, later the rights to season 5 expired so RedeTV! aired it and latter skipped to air seasons [[S11|eleven]] (with the final episodes of that premiering there instead of Cartoon Network) and [[S12|twelve]] before dropping the show in 2012.

Starting on January 1, 2010, previous seasons of the {{pkmn|animated series}} debuted on {{wp|Tooncast}}, a sister network of Cartoon Network. The channel aired the first 17 seasons in sequence, and then started airing reruns of ''[[S16|Aventuras em Unova e Mais Além]]'' and ''[[S17|XY]]''.

Starting with the eighteenth season, new episodes premiered in blocks of usually four or eight episodes every one or two months, from Monday to Thursday at 4 p.m. BRT. On May 12, 2016, [[S19|the nineteenth season]] premiered on [[Pokémon TV]]. The first 28 episodes debuted on the service, but the last 20 debuted on Cartoon Network.

Originally planned for January 2018, RedeTV! started re-airing the first season of the animated series on March 19, 2018, during the program "{{tt|Turma da Pakaraka|Pakaraka's Group}}". This marked the first time the animated series was aired on the channel since 2012. It aired from Monday to Friday at the same time as it aired in previous years, at 6 p.m. BRT, with two episodes per day, and also another episode at 9 a.m. BRT. They also aired the first two movies.

The [[S21|twenty-first season]] premiered on Cartoon Network on June 4, 2018, following the same schedule as previous seasons.

To celebrate the release of [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], Cartoon Network held a seven-episode marathon on November 18, 2018, most of them featuring {{p|Pikachu}} or {{p|Eevee}}. The following episodes were aired: ''[[XY037|A Caverna dos Espelhos!]]'', ''[[XY078|Luzes! Câmera!

===Dubbing===
The Brazilian dub is based on the English dubs by [[4Kids Entertainment]] and [[The Pokémon Company International]]. Pokémon arrived in Brazil shortly after arriving in the United States.<ref>[https://www.awn.com/news/pok-mon-hits-world ''Pokémon Hits The World'' - Animation World Network (October 3, 1998)]</ref><ref>[https://www.awn.com/news/pok-mon-sold-latin-america-broadcasters ''Pokémon sold to Latin America broadcasters'' - Animation World Network (February 14, 1999)]</ref>

Latin American distributor '''Televix Entertainment'''<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20001019012317/http://www.televix.com/Series.html Televix: Series & Animation (as of 2000)]</ref><ref>[https://www.produ.com/television/noticias/exito-mundial-de-pokemon-se-expande-a-todos-los-mercados-de-lat-am/ ''Exito mundial de “Pokémon” se expande a todos los mercados de Lat.Am.'' - Produ (November 29, 1999)]</ref> distributed the first twelve seasons of the series and movies 8-12<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20130418153523/http://www.televix.com/pokemon-season-12/ Televix listing for Pokemon Seasons 10-12]</ref><ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20110202214239/http://www.televix.com/feed/ Televix Feed from 2011 (contains Pokemon season & movie mentions)]</ref> in Brazil with '''Swen Entertainment'''. The series was first dubbed by '''Master Sound Studios''' in {{wp|São Paulo}}. After the {{pkmn|animated series}} was shown to be successful in Brazil and around the world, the distributors brought the [[S02|second season]], this time dubbed by '''BKS''', that changed the voices of the [[Narrator]] and {{MTR}}. In addition, many voice actors in the series refused to dub at BKS and it took a lot of work to convince the original cast to come back.

The following year, Swen and Televix decided to change the dubbing studio again, especially after the controversy caused by BKS's dubbing of ''{{wp|Sailor Moon R}}''. The new studio that dubbed the [[S03|third season]] of Pokémon was '''Parisi Video''', also from São Paulo. Parisi Video went on to dub the [[S04|fourth]], [[S05|fifth]], and [[S06|sixth]] seasons as well. Parisi brought the entire cast of the series back, but the company went bankrupt and was left unable to pay its employees. Thus, yet another dubbing studio had to be found.

Notably, the [[M01|first]] [[M02|three]] [[M03|movies]], as well as ''[[Mewtwo Returns|O Retorno de Mewtwo]]'', were dubbed in Rio de Janeiro instead of São Paulo. '''Guilherme Briggs''' provided the voice of Mewtwo, while '''Márcio Simões''' temporarily replaced Meowth in movies 2 and 3 and Mewtwo Returns. ''[[M06|Jirachi - Realizador de Desejos]]'' was almost dubbed in Rio at the Dublamix studio, with '''Gustavo Nader''' as Ash, but only '''Priscila Amorim''' as Jirachi and '''Felipe Grinnan''' as Butler recorded in Rio.

'''Centauro''' took over the animated series from the [[S07|seventh]] to the [[S18|eighteenth]] season. In the transition, they managed to bring the main voice cast back, but changed the voices of almost all the supporting cast and extras. Nonetheless, the dub was so well-received that they ended up winning the 2006 ''Prêmio Yamato'' for "Best Redub or Sequel". Centauro also dubbed the spin-off series ''[[Pokémon Chronicles|Pokémon Crônicas]]'', which changed the voices of all supporting characters again, and was the first studio to also dub the movies, starting with ''[[M08|Lucario e o Mistério de Mew]]''. It was also around this time that '''SDI Media Poland''' became involved with the dub, with them being credited as early as the [[S14|fourteenth season]].

In 2015, several early episodes had to be redubbed by Centauro, at the request of The Pokémon Company International, due to bad audio quality. These redubs have maintained most of the original cast intact and also didn't use the official translation glossary, with moves having the same name they had at the time, except {{m|Thunderbolt}}. These episodes include: ''[[EP010|Bulbasaur e a Vila Oculta]]'', ''[[EP036|A Gangue das Bicicletas]]'', ''[[EP187|Visita ao Vale do Sol]]'', ''[[EP225|Bulbassauro... o Embaixador!]]'', and ''[[AG068|Um Dilema Duplo]]''. The [[M04|fourth movie]] was also redubbed in 2015, but, unlike the episodes, both its opening and ending themes were played in English, instead of Brazilian Portuguese.

From the [[S19|nineteenth]] to the [[S22|twenty-second]] season, ''Pokémon'' was dubbed in Rio de Janeiro at '''MG Studios''', which was also responsible for the dubbing of the online miniseries [[Pokémon Generations|Pokémon Gerações]]. The dub was also now being produced by [[DuArt Media Services]] instead of SDI Media. The original actors from São Paulo were completely replaced, including those that have been working on the dubbed animated series since the first season (namely '''Fábio Lucindo''' as {{Ash}}, '''Isabel de Sá''' as [[Jessie]], '''Márcio Araújo''' as [[James]], and '''Armando Tiraboschi''' as {{MTR}}). Part of the reason for this change was the fact that Fábio Lucindo moved to Portugal in 2015 to study in the {{wp|University of Coimbra}}, and that DuArt had become the Latin American dubbing producer.<ref>http://anmtv.xpg.uol.com.br/pokemon-dublado-no-rio-de-janeiro/</ref> Despite this, ''[[M18|Hoopa e o Duelo Lendário]]'' was dubbed by Lucindo and all of the original voice actors, likely due to it being part of ''[[S18|Desafio em Kalos]]''.

DuArt departed the series after season 22, and SDI Media Poland once again took charge of the Brazilian dub. [[Iyuno]] later took control via its acquisition of SDI Media. The series was now being dubbed at '''Double Sound''' in Rio de Janeiro, a dubbing studio infamous for delaying payments or simply not paying its employees at all, which lead to many of the voice actors (such as the voices of Ash, {{Delia}}, the Team Rocket trio, [[Officer Jenny]], {{an|Kiawe}}, {{an|Gladion}}, and [[Mewtwo (M01)|Mewtwo]]) refusing to reprise their roles if that meant working for them. Since then, the voices of Nurse Joy ('''Luisa Palomanes'''), Leon ('''Clécio Souto'''), and Raihan ('''Renan Freitas''') have abandoned the series by virtue of delayed salaries, with reports of some other voice actors not getting paid for over four months.<ref>https://www.change.org/p/pok%C3%A9mon-company-internacional-pok%C3%A9mon-troque-de-est%C3%BAdio-respeite-os-nossos-dubladores-mudapokemon</ref><ref>https://observatoriodatv.uol.com.br/colunas/paulo-pacheco/dubladores-de-pokemon-se-rebelam-e-deixam-serie-por-falta-de-pagamento</ref> Double Sound also dubbed [[Pokémon Evolutions|Pokémon Evoluções]].

In February 2021, the [[M07|seventh movie]] was redubbed at Centauro in São Paulo for {{wp|Star Channel (Latin American TV channel)|Star Channel}}, keeping most of the original cast, with the exception of Ash, who was voiced by his current voice actor, '''Matheus Perissé''', a long-time Pokémon fan that had previously voiced [[Sawyer]].

Due to the [[COVID-19 pandemic]], the Brazilian dub stopped for over four months after ''[[JN004|Acertando as contas!]]'' had been dubbed, and after that time, some voice actors started voicing their characters remotely. For the first time since the [[original series]], some episodes of season 23 were dubbed over the Japanese audio instead of English as a result of the pandemic.

On August 26, 2021, [[Pokémon Kids TV]] premiered on [[Pokémon TV]], with their songs dubbed at Dubrasil in São Paulo. More songs were added to the service on October 15 of the same year.

====Cast and crew====
Despite having changed dubbing studios several times, the Brazilian dub of the [[Pokémon animated series]] has maintained a fairly consistent voice cast when it comes to the main characters until the end of [[S18]]. Starting from [[S19]], the series was moved from São Paulo to Rio de Janeiro, and all the voice actors were replaced, similar to what happened in the English dub on [[S09]]. [[S25]] marked the return of some actors from São Paulo, most notably Alfredo Rollo as Brock (for the first time in regular episodes since [[BW116]]) and Márcia Regina as Misty. The voice actors who have worked on the Brazilian dub of the main cast of the main series include:

The soundtracks were identical to the English releases, but with the corresponding Portuguese-language movie opening theme added as a bonus track. The [[Pokémon 3: The Ultimate Soundtrack|third movie soundtrack]] was also released in Brazil, featuring the Portuguese-language songs from ''Totalmente Pokémon'' in place of the English ones, as well as the Portuguese opening theme for the movie.

==Trivia==
* '''Charles Emmanuel''', who voiced Ash Ketchum starting with ''[[S18|Pokémon the Series: XYZ]]'' until ''[[S22|Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon – Ultra Legends]]'', had previously voiced Ash in {{wp|Cartoon Network}}'s ''{{wp|Mad (TV series)|Mad}}'', in the 2013 sketch "Pokémonsters, Inc."
* Sometimes, mainly in earlier seasons, the English voices of some Pokémon couldn't be preserved, so their lines were rerecorded: '''Michel Di Fiori''' did the voices of Gastly and Mr. Mime, while '''Úrsula Bezerra''' took over as {{TP|Ash|Totodile}}, and '''Gilmara Sanches''' provided voices for Pokémon such as {{TP|May|Squirtle|Wartortle}} and {{TP|May|Eevee|Glaceon}} in the [[S09|Battle Frontier saga]]
* Occasionally during the [[Pokémon the Series: Black & White|Black & White series]] (such as in ''[[BW051|Lost at the Stamp Rally!]]'' and in ''[[BW107|Cameron's Secret Weapon!]]''), '''Alex Minei''' ({{an|Cilan}}'s VA) would voice [[Ash Ketchum]] for a few lines. The reason for this is currently unknown.
* [[Pokémon species]] to be featured in otherwise localized adaptations of Pokémon media distributed in Brazil generally do not have their names translated from English; however, there have been notable exceptions, mainly originating in the distribution of the earlier seasons of the {{pkmn|animated series}}:
** {{p|Bulbasaur}}, {{p|Ivysaur}}, and {{p|Venusaur}} are referred to as ''Bulbasauro'', ''Ivysauro'' and ''Venusauro'', respectively; ''-sauro'' is the Portuguese language's translation of the suffix ''-saur''.
** {{p|Meowth}} is referred to as ''Miau''; "miau" may be interpreted as the transliteration for a {{wp|Meow|cat vocalization}} in the Portuguese language.
** {{p|Magikarp}} is referred to as ''Magicarpa''; ''carpa'' is the Portuguese language's translation of the word {{wp|carp}}.

Gotta catch 'em all!

2025-07-05T02:55:37Z

ChocoLixo2: added information about the prototype slogan

:''For other uses, see [[Gotta catch 'em all! (disambiguation)]].''
----
[[File:English motto.png|thumb|250px|The original logo for the phrase]]
[[File:Gotta Catch Em All logo.png|thumb|260px|The phrase logo as of ''[[Pokémon X and Y]]'']]
'''"Gotta catch 'em all!"''' is an English slogan for the ''[[Pokémon]]'' franchise, including the English language [[Pokémon games|''Pokémon'' video games]]. The slogan is most prominently used on the box art for [[Generation I]] and [[Generation II]] [[core series]] games, but it is also featured multiple times in ''[[Pokémon the Series]]'' and in advertising for core series games through [[Generation VI]]. The Japanese equivalent is '''"Get Pokémon!"''' (Japanese: '''ポケモンゲットだぜー！''' ''Pokémon <sc>get</sc> da ze~!'', also spelt '''ポケモンＧＥＴだぜー！''')

==History==
The slogan "Gotta catch 'em all!" was created by [[Norman J. Grossfeld]], the president of 4Kids Productions (a former subsidiary of [[4Kids Entertainment]]) from 1994 to 2009. He introduced the slogan, along with three or four alternatives, during a pitch meeting with representatives from [[Nintendo]], [[Hasbro]], and 4Kids Entertainment (then known as Leisure Concepts, Inc.). According to Grossfeld, during the meeting, one lawyer from either Nintendo or Hasbro rejected the slogan due to concerns over it being too declarative, but they were overruled as the other participants in the meeting liked "Gotta catch 'em all!" the best. The participants had also considered the slogan "Catch 'em if you can", one of Grossfeld's alternative suggestions. Grossfeld even had a song written that incorporated the "Catch 'em if you can" slogan that ultimately went unused.<ref>Sands, Tara, & Yurko, Steve. "Nor-man's Land with Norman Grossfeld." ''4Kids Flashback'', Spreaker, 13 Dec 2023. [https://www.4kidsflashback.com/episodes/4kids-normans-land https://www.4kidsflashback.com/episodes/4kids-normans-land], 6:02–7:57.</ref> Interestingly, a translation of this original slogan ended up being used on the Brazilian boxarts for {{game|Red and Blue|s}} and {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}.

==In the core series games==
[[File:Crystal EN boxart.png|thumb|250px|{{game|Crystal}}, the last game to feature the catchphrase on its boxart.]]
The first pair of Pokémon games released in North America, {{game|Red and Blue|s}}, were labeled with the catchphrase below the Pokémon logo. Their sequels, {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}, and later, {{game|Crystal}}, had the catchphrase in the same position. {{game|Yellow}} was the only exception, instead advertising that it was the "Special {{p|Pikachu}} Edition" of the game below the logo.

The slogan was taken out of the box art for {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}, although pre-release versions of the box art indicate that the slogan was initially intended to be kept, but was dropped sometime between January 2003 and March 2003. The slogan has not reappeared in any Pokémon game box art since, but has appeared in promotional materials such as the trailers for {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kuP4goGGWT4 Pokémon Diamond and Pearl 2007 commercial]</ref> and {{g|X and Y}}.

===Variations===
In the core series games, there is a known variation: ''"Gotta catch even more!"'' is written in the box blurb of the [[Game Boy Color]] release of {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}. This sentence is not found in the [[Nintendo 3DS]] [[Virtual Console]] releases or in {{game|Crystal}}.

==In the spin-off games==
===Pokémon Trading Card Game===
In {{vg|Pokémon Trading Card Game}}, Hood in the [[Lightning Club]] references this slogan by saying: "Got all the Legendary Pokémon cards? Yeah! Gotta catch 'em all!(TM)" Additionally, one of the decks found in the [[Auto Deck Machine]] is named {{TCG|Replace 'Em All Deck}}. Both instances were added in the English localization; they are not seen in the Japanese original text.

===Pokémon Play It! series===
In the "What's a Pokémon?" lesson from both [[Pokémon Play It!]] and [[Pokémon Play It! Version 2]], {{OBP|Julie|Play It!}} says this about the {{pkmn|Trading Card Game}}: "There are {{TCG|type|seven symbols and seven types}} of Pokémon. Catch 'em all!".

===PokéROM===
The slogan of [[PokéROM]] is "Gotta learn 'em all!".

===Pokémon Project Studio===
The slogan of [[Pokémon Project Studio Red and Blue]] is "Gotta make 'em all!".

==In animation==
The most noticeable reference to the catchphrase in {{aniseries|PTS}} was introduced in the [[EP001|first episode]] by the main protagonist, [[Ash Ketchum]] himself, promising that he would catch all of the Pokémon in the {{pkmn|world}}, before setting off on his journey. The motto also seems to be a pun for Pokémon photographers, as [[Robert's grandfather]] "caught them all" and {{Todd}} "catches" Pokémon.

The reference was used as the title of the penultimate episode of {{aniseries|GS}}, ''[[EP273|Gotta Catch Ya Later!]]''. In this episode, both {{an|Brock}} and {{an|Misty}} return to [[Kanto]], leaving Ash to head to the [[Hoenn]] region alone.

The slogan was referenced in the English-language version of ''[[M07|Pokémon: Destiny Deoxys]]''; {{an|Brock}} says the phrase when collecting food from a haywire robotic vending machine during a power outage (with "them all", in this instance, being hot dogs).

The line was later said by {{MTR}} in ''[[AG012|The Lotad Lowdown]]''.

The "Gotta catch 'em all!" phrase appears in the opening animation for [[Pokémon Chronicles]] and is also seen in the [[Who's That Pokémon?]] segment in {{aniseries|XY}}. However, in certain international versions, the line is replaced with respective ''Pokémon the Series: XY'' localized logos.

==In music==
This phrase is featured in the [[Pokémon Theme|original opening theme]], as well as in the chorus of the [[Pokérap]]. It is also found in [[Pokémon Johto|the theme]] for [[S03|The Johto Journeys]], the third [[season]] of {{aniseries|PTS}}. The lyrics include, in reference to the {{cat|Generation II Pokémon|Pokémon introduced in Gold and Silver}}, that "you still gotta catch 'em all!". A new, remixed version of the original theme was used as the opening for the [[S17|first season of ''Pokémon the Series: XY'']].

The [[Pokérap GS]] uses the catchphrase quite prominently.

There's a Pokémon soundtrack by [[HAL Laboratory, Inc.|HAL Laboratory]] named [[Pokémon Gotta Catch the Sound!]], which includes the [[Pokémon Snap]] music theme Gotta Snap Em’ All.

The line is referenced in the song [[Can't Stop (Catchin' 'Em All)]] several times.

==In the manga==
In the [[VIZ Media]] edition of [[Pokémon Adventures]] {{vol|Pokémon Adventures|14}}, [[Professor Oak (Adventures)|Professor Oak]] makes a reference to the slogan, saying that {{adv|Crystal}} "truly catches them all".

==In the guidebooks==
===''Nintendo Power''===
In some ''[[Nintendo Power]]'' guidebooks, there are section names such as "Gotta Get 'Em All"<ref>''[[Pokémon Gold and Silver: Official Nintendo Player's Guide]]'', page 14</ref> or "Catch 'em All".<ref>''Pokémon Gold and Silver: Official Nintendo Player's Guide'', page 84</ref><ref>''[[Pokémon Crystal: Official Nintendo Player's Guide]]'', page 18</ref> They are about [[Pokémon availability|different ways to obtain Pokémon]].

==In merchandise==
The slogan for the [[1999 Burger King promotional Pokémon toys]] was "Gotta catch 'em here!", a reference to the franchise's slogan.

==Retirement and return==
The slogan was temporarily retired from the [[Pokémon games]] around 2003, with the release of {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}. Instead of the now-familiar phrase appearing below the Pokémon logo, the game's version name appeared there. This held true for the remaining games of [[Generation III]], and would later prove to be the standard for subsequent [[generation]]s with the release of the [[Generation IV]] games, {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}. However, the slogan is still used in certain promotional materials for those games.

The retirement was possibly due to the large amount of Pokémon now required to capture to complete the [[National Pokédex]], 386 at the time the slogan was retired. It may as well have been due to the incompatibility between the [[Generation II]] and Generation III games, as all of the Pokémon known as of the third generation were not available between Ruby and Sapphire, unlike what had been the case with Red and Blue and Gold and Silver.

The slogan may also have been taken out of use since it was a target of critics of the game and franchise (with some saying the phrase was an equivalent to, "Gotta buy 'em all").

An English-language Diamond and Pearl commercial was released that features the phrase in the United States. It is also used as the slogan for the {{DL|Jubilife TV|Catch That Pokémon Show}} in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}. This did not, however, mean that the slogan made a permanent return, rather it was just a reference to the then defunct slogan.

On the {{game|Black and White|s}} official website, the slogan is referenced in the "Pokémon" section of the site. A link to the new Pokémon is labeled with the phrase "See 'Em All."

On September 14, 2013, the phrase was once again used in a trailer that was accidentally leaked on the Pokémon YouTube channel and advertised a new website called "www.gottacatchemall.com" - a website offering people in the United States a chance to win {{g|X and Y}} related prizes in the sweepstakes from September 16 until October 12, 2013. The site required the first name of the user, their respective e-mail address, a username and the code "XY1012" to open. The site scattered various codes around various sites on the internet as "Easter eggs" to unlock {{i|Poké Ball}}s on the website, and thus, a "Pokémon, a digital gift, and a chance to win". The site now has a new logo for the phrase "Gotta catch 'em all!". The new logo is now used for all videos on [[The Pokémon Company International]]'s YouTube channel, along with a Pikachu saying "Pika!". The logo was also used in the [[Who's That Pokémon?]] animation segment in {{aniseries|XY}}.

The slogan is alluded to in a promotional video uploaded on January 12, 2023, celebrating the Pokémon franchise having 1008 Pokémon in the National Pokédex. The video ends with the phrase, "Did you catch 'em all?"<ref>"[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pa08Y-fhfTI One Thousand Pokémon! 🥳]" The Official Pokémon YouTube channel. ''YouTube''.</ref>

The promotional blurb for the {{TCG|151}} expansion of the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] contains the phrase "Gotta Catch ’Em All!"

'''Mega Kick''' (Japanese: '''メガトンキック''' ''Megaton Kick'') is a damage-dealing {{type|Normal}} [[move]] introduced in [[Generation I]]. It was [[TM05]] in Generation I and [[TM01]] in [[Pokémon Sword and Shield]]. In [[Generation II]], it was the [[signature move]] of {{p|Hitmonlee}}.

It can be thought of as a counterpart to {{m|Mega Punch}}, being the same type and having a similar name.

==Effect==
Mega Kick deals damage and has no secondary effect.

Mega Kick can be used as the second move of a [[Contest combination|Pokémon Contest combination]], with the user gaining 4 bonus appeal points if {{m|Focus Energy}} or {{m|Mind Reader}} was used in the previous turn.

Its striated underbelly is cream-colored and extends from its neck to the tip of its long, tapering tail. It has thick arms and legs ending in three claws each. The leg joints are well defined, while its arms have a smooth, rounded appearance. Dragonite's wings are small relative to its body with teal wing membranes. As mentioned in {{g|Sleep}}, Dragonite is known to sleep soundly while displaying its belly.<ref>[[Sleep style|Sleep Style Dex]]</ref> This rare sight is said to be an exhausted Dragonite resting after flying over the vast seas.

Despite its bulky build, Dragonite is capable of flying faster than the speed of sound, being able to circle the globe in sixteen hours. A kind-hearted Pokémon with human-like intelligence, Dragonite shows signs of altruism: it is said to save humans from drowning and lead lost or foundering ships to safety. As demonstrated in ''[[EP253|Great Bowls of Fire!]]'', however, it will go on an uncontrollable, destructive rampage if its environment is threatened. Dragonite will usually calm down and be satisfied after smashing down anything that has angered it to smithereens. It is known to engage in fierce battles with {{p|Kingdra}} whenever they meet. Dragonite has been referred to as the "sea guardian" and the "Sea Incarnate"; as such, there are many ships with figureheads decorated with Dragonite's look. [[Drayden]] stated in ''[[JN065|Thrash of the Titans!]]'' that Dragonite's power is capable of affecting the weather. In [[Fiore]], Dragonite used by {{OBP|Pokémon Ranger|Ranger series}}s to travel to different areas in the region, this flying service is called the ''Dragonite Bus''.

Dragonite is very rare in the wild, typically {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Water's-edge Pokémon|living near the sea}}. In fact, [[An Illustrated Book of POCKET MONSTERS]] categorises the Dragonite family alongside [[Legendary Pokémon]]. Some claim that there is [[Dragonite Island|an island]] somewhere in the ocean that only Dragonite inhabit.

In [[Generation II]], Dragonite and its pre-evolved forms were the [[Signature Ability|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Outrage}}, but other Pokémon could still inherit it via {{pkmn|breeding}}.

===Evolution===
Dragonite evolves from {{p|Dragonair}} and is the final form of {{p|Dratini}}.

In ''[[DP118|Pursuing a Lofty Goal!]]'', [[Provo]]'s Dragonite competed in the [[Squallville PokéRinger]]. They went up against [[Paul]], but in the end, Dragonite lost to {{TP|Paul|Honchkrow}} after the latter was able to land a [[critical hit]] with {{m|Sky Attack}} due to its {{a|Super Luck}} [[Ability]].

In ''[[JN010|A Test in Paradise!]]'', multiple Dragonite were living on [[Dragonite Island]]. One of them was targeted by {{TRT}}, but their plan to capture it was thwarted by the Dragonair that would evolve into Ash's Dragonite.

====Trophy information====
'''NA:''' ''Dragonite are known for their helpfulness toward people at sea, searching for drowning sailors or leading lost ships back to shore. This is probably why so many are quick to praise Dragonite for their kindness! In battle, though, Dragonite uses its strong body combined with quick moves. Don't worry - win or lose, it'll be friendly when the battle is over.''

'''PAL:''' ''A benevolent Pokémon said to search the ocean for drowning swimmers and guide damaged ships to shore. Because of this, many people venerate Dragonite as a guardian of the sea. In battle, on the other hand, it's a fearsome foe, soaring rapidly through the air to deliver incredible attacks. Let's be thankful it's usually friendly.''

==Trivia==
* Dragonite and its pre-evolved forms share their {{pkmn|category}} with {{p|Horsea}}, its evolved forms, {{p|Salamence}}, and Kalosian {{p|Goodra}}. They are all known as the Dragon Pokémon.
* In {{v2|Yellow}}, Dragonite's [[catch rate]] was changed from 45 to 9, even though Dragonite couldn't be found in the wild. In all later games, its catch rate was changed back to 45.
* {{p|Kingdra}}'s [[Pokédex]] entry in {{pkmn|Sword and Shield|Pokémon Sword}} mentions Dragonite, which was unavailable prior to the release of the second expansion of the game, [[The Crown Tundra]].
* {{TP|Iris|Dragonite}} is the only {{OBP|Pokémon|species|species}} owned by one of {{ashfr|Ash's friends}} that {{Ash}} himself would [[Ash's Dragonite|later catch]].
* Due to Dragonite's learnset not being in numerical order in Pokémon Sword and Shield, Dragonite cannot learn {{m|Outrage}} at level 41 and must be taught via the [[Move Reminder]] instead.
* Dragonite and {{p|Salamence}} have the highest base stat total of all {{type|Flying}} Pokémon (excluding [[Mega Evolution]]s and [[Legendary Pokémon]]).

===Origin===
Dragonite resembles {{wp|Japanese dragon}}s, {{wp|European dragon}}s, or fairy dragons. Its description as the "guardian of the sea" may also suggest it has elements similar to the {{wp|Chinese dragon}}.

====Name origin====
Dragonite may be a combination of ''{{wp|dragon}}'' and ''{{wp|knight}}'', ''night'', or ''draconite'' (a mythical stone said to be found in the heads of dragons and are pyramidal in shape, similar to Dragonite's horn).

Kairyu may be from 海竜 ''kairyū'' (sea dragon). It may also involve 怪獣 ''kaijū'' (monster), 快 ''kai'' (cheerful), and 破壊 ''hakai'' (destruction).

'''Dragonite''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''カイリュー''' ''Kairyu'') is a dual-type {{2t|Dragon|Flying}} [[pseudo-legendary Pokémon]] introduced in [[Generation I]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Dragonair}} starting at [[level]] 55. It is the final form of {{p|Dratini}}.

==Biology==
[[File:Dragon Fossil Adventures.png|thumb|left|230px|The skeleton of a Dragonite in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
Dragonite is a {{wp|dragon|draconic}}, bipedal {{wp|reptile|reptilian}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with light orange skin. It has large, grayish-green eyes and a round snout with small nostrils. A pair of long, thin antennae sprout from the top of its head with a small horn set between them. Its striated underbelly is cream-colored and extends from its neck to the tip of its long, tapering tail. It has thick arms and legs ending in three claws each. The leg joints are well defined, while its arms have a smooth, rounded appearance. Dragonite's wings are small relative to its body with teal wing membranes. As mentioned in {{g|Sleep}}, Dragonite is known to sleep soundly while displaying its belly.<ref>[[Sleep style|Sleep Style Dex]]</ref> This rare sight is said to be an exhausted Dragonite resting after flying over the vast seas.

Despite its bulky build, Dragonite is capable of flying faster than the speed of sound, being able to circle the globe in sixteen hours. A kind-hearted Pokémon with human-like intelligence, Dragonite shows signs of altruism: it is said to save humans from drowning and lead lost or foundering ships to safety. As demonstrated in ''[[EP253|Great Bowls of Fire!]]'', however, it will go on an uncontrollable, destructive rampage if its environment is threatened. Dragonite will usually calm down and be satisfied after smashing down anything that has angered it to smithereens. It is known to engage in fierce battles with {{p|Kingdra}} whenever they meet. Dragonite has been referred to as the "sea guardian" and the "Sea Incarnate"; as such, there are many ships with figureheads decorated with Dragonite's look. [[Drayden]] stated in ''[[JN065|Thrash of the Titans!]]'' that Dragonite's power is capable of affecting the weather. In [[Fiore]], Dragonite used by {{OBP|Pokémon Ranger|Ranger series}}s to travel to different areas in the region, this flying service is called the ''Dragonite Bus''.

Dragonite is very rare in the wild, typically {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Water's-edge Pokémon|living near the sea}}. In fact, [[An Illustrated Book of POCKET MONSTERS]] categorises the Dragonite family alongside [[Legendary Pokémon]]. Some claim that there is [[Dragonite Island|an island]] somewhere in the ocean that only Dragonite inhabit.

In [[Generation II]], Dragonite and its pre-evolved forms were the [[Signature Ability|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Outrage}}, but other Pokémon could still inherit it via {{pkmn|breeding}}.

===Evolution===
Dragonite evolves from {{p|Dragonair}} and is the final form of {{p|Dratini}}.

(For specifics on this Pokémon's Evolution in the games, refer to [[#Evolution data|Game data→Evolution data]].)

====Trophy information====
'''NA:''' ''Dragonite are known for their helpfulness toward people at sea, searching for drowning sailors or leading lost ships back to shore. This is probably why so many are quick to praise Dragonite for their kindness! In battle, though, Dragonite uses its strong body combined with quick moves. Don't worry - win or lose, it'll be friendly when the battle is over.''

'''PAL:''' ''A benevolent Pokémon said to search the ocean for drowning swimmers and guide damaged ships to shore. Because of this, many people venerate Dragonite as a guardian of the sea. In battle, on the other hand, it's a fearsome foe, soaring rapidly through the air to deliver incredible attacks. Let's be thankful it's usually friendly.''

* {{TP|Iris|Dragonite}} is the only {{OBP|Pokémon|species|species}} owned by one of {{ashfr|Ash's friends}} that {{Ash}} himself would [[Ash's Dragonite|later catch]].
* Due to Dragonite's learnset not being in numerical order in Pokémon Sword and Shield, Dragonite cannot learn {{m|Outrage}} at level 41 and must be taught via the [[Move Reminder]] instead.
* Dragonite and {{p|Salamence}} have the highest base stat total of all {{type|Flying}} Pokémon (excluding [[Mega Evolution]]s and [[Legendary Pokémon]]).

===Origin===
Dragonite resembles {{wp|Japanese dragon}}s, {{wp|European dragon}}s, or fairy dragons. Its description as the "guardian of the sea" may also suggest it has elements similar to the {{wp|Chinese dragon}}.

====Name origin====
Dragonite may be a combination of ''{{wp|dragon}}'' and ''{{wp|knight}}'', ''night'', or ''draconite'' (a mythical stone said to be found in the heads of dragons and are pyramidal in shape, similar to Dragonite's horn).

Kairyu may be from 海竜 ''kairyū'' (sea dragon). It may also involve 怪獣 ''kaijū'' (monster), 快 ''kai'' (cheerful), and 破壊 ''hakai'' (destruction).

The '''{{wp|Steamship|S.S.}} Anne''' (Japanese: '''{{j|サント・アンヌ{{tt|号|ごう}}}}''' ''St. Annu'') is a well-known luxury cruise liner which [[Transportation in the Pokémon world|sails]] the {{pkmn|world}}, stopping annually in [[Vermilion City]], [[Kanto]].

In the {{pkmn|animated series}}, it is referred to as '''St. Anne''', which is derived from its Japanese name.

==Overview==
[[File:RG SS Ticket.png|thumb|[[S.S. Ticket]] artwork from {{2v2|Red|Green}}]]
To get on the S.S. Anne in the {{pkmn|games}}, players must first obtain an [[S.S. Ticket]] by helping out [[Bill]] at [[Sea Cottage|his home]] on {{rt|25|Kanto}}.

The S.S. Anne is accessible from the {{DL|Vermilion City|Port|Vermilion Harbor}}. This luxury cruise liner contains many [[Pokémon Trainer]]s, including several {{tc|Gentleman|Gentlemen}} and {{tc|Sailor}}s. In [[Generation]]s {{gen|III}} and {{gen|VII}}, in one room on the first floor, a lady will restore a Trainer's party on hand to full health. Before reaching the captain's cabin, the {{player}} will encounter their [[rival]] and battle him.

After the rival has been defeated, the player will be able to enter the Captain's quarters, where they will find him seasick. By choosing to help him by giving him a backrub, players will be able to get {{HM|01|Cut}}{{sup/1|RGBY}}{{sup/3|FRLG}} or learn the [[Secret Technique]] Chop Down{{sup/7|PE}}.

Once the captain is healed, the S.S. Anne will sail away the moment player exits the ship. Although it is said to return once a year, none of the games in which it appears have a [[time]] system capable of measuring this, and the ship will not be seen again.

As the player cannot return to the ship once it has left, all of the items on the ship and in the port can be [[Permanently missable items|permanently missed]] without the player ever obtaining them. Alternatively, if the player already obtained the HM01, but then loses a battle inside and S.S. Anne and [[black out|blacks out]] (thus returning to the [[Pokémon Center]]), the ship will remain in place until the player enters the ship again and leaves it normally. In [[Generation I]] games, the player is also able to use {{DL|List of glitches in Generation I|S.S. Anne reboarding|a glitch}} to re-enter the ship after it has left.

In {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, the [[Seagallop]] ferries become available on the Vermilion Harbor after the S.S. Anne has departed. The Seagallop ferries can be used to travel to, from, and between the [[Sevii Islands]].

In [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], [[Mina]], a [[Trial Captain|captain]] from [[Alola]], misses the boat on her way back home. She will battle the player daily at the port while waiting for the next ship.

===Skipping the S.S. Anne===
{{main|Sequence breaking#S.S. Anne bypassing|Sequence breaking → S.S. Anne bypassing}}

In Generations {{gen|I}} and {{gen|III}}, if the player did not obtain the {{HM|01|Cut}} yet but already has a Pokémon with {{m|Cut}} (such as a Pokémon traded from another game, or a [[glitch Pokémon]]), they may skip the S.S. Anne and continue the game normally.

If the player obtains a Pokémon with {{m|Surf}}, as well as the {{badge|Soul}} (to enable the use of Surf outside of battle), and the S.S. Anne has not departed yet, the player will be able to surf on the water near the S.S. Anne, as well as reach the ground tiles surrounding the water and see a truck parked there. The truck serves no purpose in [[Generation I]], but has a hidden [[Lava Cookie]] in [[Generation III]].

In Generation III only, if the player enters [[Lavender Town]] without having battled the rival in S.S. Anne, this battle will be permanently unavailable as the rival will not be found in S.S. Anne anymore.

In {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, the first trip to the [[Sevii Islands]] (where the player is invited by [[Bill]] after [[Blaine]] has been defeated) is normally available even if the S.S. Anne is still docked at the Vermilion Harbor. The player will also receive the [[Tri-Pass]] and be able to freely use the [[Seagallop]] to travel between the first three islands. However, once this mission is over and the player returns to mainland [[Kanto]], they will not be able to travel to the Sevii Islands again until the HM01 is obtained and the S.S. Anne leaves the Vermilion Harbor.

In [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], as obtaining the [[Secret Technique]] Chop Down from the captain of the S.S. Anne is a requirement for entering the [[Vermilion Gym]], the ship and the rival battle aboard it cannot be skipped. Additionally, because none of the Trainers will battle the player once they learn the Secret Technique, the player cannot lose to one of these Trainers to black out and prevent the S.S. Anne from departing. Unlike in Generations I and III, the harbor is not considered a part of the S.S. Anne and can still be accessed after the ship has left, and the area with the truck can be accessed once the player has learned the Secret Technique Sea Skim. This area now contains a hidden [[Revive]], which renews occasionally.

==Items==
===Port===
In [[Generation I|Generations I]] and {{gen|III}}, the port past the ticket checkpoint is counted as part of the S.S. Anne. This is no longer the case in [[Generation VII]].

==Rumors==
===The truck===
[[File:SS Anne truck RBY.png|thumb|200px|The original truck]]
In {{game5|Red|Blue|Yellow|FireRed|LeafGreen}} and [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], a truck is placed in the {{DL|Vermilion City|Port|S.S. Anne's port}}, which seems to serve no evident purpose except as scenery, and was programmed into the game as a floor tile. With scenery being very sparse in the [[Generation I]] games, and this being one of the few sprites not used anywhere else, fans began speculating that another purpose existed for this truck. The truck cannot be accessed without {{m|Surf}}, which the player would not normally have or be able to use before the S.S. Anne departs.

In Pokémon Red, Blue, Yellow, FireRed, and LeafGreen, once the S.S. Anne leaves, the player can no longer access the harbor, preventing them from seeing the truck if they attempt to return once they can use {{m|Surf}}. In Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!, the player is no longer prevented from accessing the harbor once the S.S. Anne leaves, so they can freely return to see the truck as soon as their partner learns the [[Secret Technique]] Sea Skim.

There are several ways the player can access the truck in Generations I and III:
* Trade in a Pokémon that knows Cut, so that there is no need to obtain HM01 (Cut).
* In [[Generation I]], after obtaining {{HM|01|Cut}}, lose a battle on the S.S. Anne so that the player [[black out|blacks out]] and returns to the last [[Pokémon Center]] they visited, without the S.S. Anne departing, allowing them to return later with {{m|Surf}}. In Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen, this method does not work, as the ship will simply depart when the player re-enters the harbor.
* In [[Generation I]], skip Vermillion Gym (which requires Cut or Surf to access) and return once Surf and the {{badge|Soul}} have been obtained. Since Cut is required to access {{rt|9|Kanto}} and hence progress through the game, this requires [[sequence breaking]] in order to get access to [[Fuchsia City]] to earn the Soul Badge.
** This can be done by [[Sequence breaking#Transferring drink item|transferring in]] a [[Fresh Water]], [[Soda Pop]], or [[Lemonade]] using [[Pokémon Stadium 2]] to give to one of the [[Saffron City]] guards, allowing accessing Saffron City (and its adjacent locations) early. In Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen, the Saffron City guards require the [[Tea]] [[key item]], preventing [[trade|trading]] in a [[drink]] item early.
** Alternatively, the player can exploit one of various glitches in Generation I that allow sequence breaking.
* In [[Generation I]], [[List of glitches in Generation I#S.S. Anne reboarding|a glitch]] allows the player to bypass the sailor who normally blocks the entrance after the ship has departed.

[[File:S S Anne truck FRLG.png|thumb|250px|left|The truck, as it appears in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}]]
A rumor claimed that the truck could be moved with {{m|Strength}} and {{p|Mew}} could be found underneath it. Like the later [[Ilex Forest shrine#Trivia|Celebi rumors]] in {{v2|Gold and Silver|s}} and the [[Mossdeep Space Center#Rumors|Mossdeep Space Center rumors]] in [[Generation III]], this rumor is untrue. In Generation I, there is nothing to be found around the truck at all, but in FireRed and LeafGreen, a [[Lava Cookie]] is hidden to the south of the truck. In [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!|Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], a [[Revive]] that respawns once per day is found in the same location.

A {{tc|Beauty}} in [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]]'s Quick Battle Mode in the Vs. Mode makes a reference to the truck before the battle starts with a line from a song she is writing: "There's no Pokémon under a truck, maybe you'll just find a {{p|Muk}}!"

The [[Beyond the Pokédex]] episode on Mew acknowledges the Mew rumor, with Spruce mentioning having been told as a child that a Mew was hiding under the truck on the docks in Vermillion City, and that a Lava Cookie is instead located there in FireRed and LeafGreen.<ref name="BeyondThePokedex">[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aJ-1Az9ozSk Mew | Beyond the Pokédex - Entry #151] - YouTube</ref>

===Return===
After the S.S. Anne leaves Vermilion City, it never returns. However, in the Generation I games, one rumor claimed that if the player entered the [[Hall of Fame]] 365 times, the ship would return with more powerful opponents on board, due to an NPC in Red and Blue explaining that the ship was a luxury liner for Trainers that visited Vermilion once a year. However, this rumor is untrue.

===Anti-piracy message===
Shortly after the release of Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen, internet users began circulating a screenshot which depicted the ferryman just outside the harbor telling the player "By the way: if you like this game, buy it or die." Those sharing the image claimed that it was an anti-piracy measure, which was corroborated by anecdotal reports from people who played pirated copies on older emulators that were in wide use circa 2004. Because the message could not be found when playing on newer emulators, its absence was widely explained as the result of the software more effectively circumventing the game's copy protection measures. In reality, however, the message was hacked into a single ROM image that was widely distributed online in the 2000s before being unknowingly superseded by a ROM of the untouched base game. When examining the latter's code in a hex editor, the alleged anti-piracy measure is nowhere to be found.<ref name="TechRules">[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0XjHZ-V4ooA Anti-Piracy: the Fake, the Creepy, and the Downright Malicious | Tech Rules] - YouTube</ref>

==In animation==
[[File:SS Anne anime.png|thumb|250px|The St. Anne in {{aniseries|OS}}]]
===''Pokémon the Series''===
===={{aniseries|OS}}====
The S.S. Anne, named the St. Anne in the [[dub]], appeared in ''[[EP015|Battle Aboard the St. Anne]]'' and ''[[EP016|Pokémon Shipwreck]]''.
{{spoilers}}
{{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} boarded the ship after two schoolgirls, who were actually [[Jessie]] and [[James]] in disguise, offered them free tickets. This was part of a {{TRT}} plot to steal the Pokémon of all {{pkmn|Trainer}}s on board. However, Ash and his friends enjoyed the St. Anne, which provided large amounts of food for people on board and allowed [[Pokémon battle]]s below deck. While on board, James was swindled by the [[Magikarp salesman]] into buying a {{TP|James|Magikarp}} in a gold-plated [[Poké Ball]], and Ash [[trade]]d his {{AP|Butterfree}} to a {{tc|Gentleman}} for a {{AP|Raticate}}.

Out on the open ocean, Team Rocket, including Jessie, James, {{MTR}}, and a number of {{tc|Team Rocket Grunt}}s began taking the Pokémon of everyone else on board the St. Anne by force. Ash led a counterattack against the Rockets, leading to a large battle and many of the members of Team Rocket being blasted off through the side of the ship.

Afterwards, the St. Anne started taking on water, and the passengers had to be evacuated. Ash delayed the evacuation to trade back the Raticate for his Butterfree, but the moment Ash obtained Butterfree's Poké Ball, the ship jerked and the Poké Ball bounces out of his hand, while at the same moment James's Magikarp's Poké Ball bounced out of his hand. When both Ash and James went back to go get their Poké Balls, the ship jerked once more and knocked out Ash, {{ashfr}}, and the [[Team Rocket trio]]. When they awoke, the St. Anne was upside down and underwater, balancing on a {{wp|seamount}}.

The two groups fought at first, but Misty took charge and began directing all of them in an emergency escape plan before the ship fell into the depths of the sea floor. Since the ship was upside down, they would need to escape through the thinnest point in its {{wp|hull (watercraft)|hull}}, which Misty knew was in the engine room, having built a model of the ship herself. They made their way through the ship to this point, and then Ash ordered his {{AP|Charmander}} to burn a hole in the hull. With the help of {{AP|Squirtle}}, {{TP|Misty|Goldeen}} and {{TP|Misty|Starmie}}, Ash and his friends were able to swim to safety, while Team Rocket nearly drowned since all they had to rely on was James's Magikarp, which could only {{m|Splash}} around on the floor.

Once everyone was off-board, the St. Anne's balance tilted, and it fell off the seamount, down towards the {{wp|abyssal zone|abyss}}, never to be seen again.

====[[Pokémon Chronicles]]====
In ''[[HS18|The Search for the Legend]]'', [[Ritchie]] rode aboard a ship called the S.S. Anne (instead of St. Anne) in the dub; the ship is unnamed in the original Japanese.

===Pokémon Origins===
[[File:S.S. Anne Captain PO.png|thumb|250px|The S.S. Anne's captain in [[Pokémon Origins]]]]
The captain of the S.S. Anne briefly appeared in ''[[PO02|File 2: Cubone]]''. He was seen giving {{OBP|Red|Origins}} {{HM|01|Cut}} after he helped him recover from his seasickness.

==In the manga==
===Pokémon Adventures===
[[File:SS Anne Adventures.png|thumb|200px|S.S. Anne in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
===={{MangaArc|Red, Green & Blue}}====
The S.S. Anne first appeared in ''[[PS010|Danger: High Voltorb]]'' and ''[[PS011|Buzz Off, Electabuzz!]]'' as a cargo ship that docked at Vermilion once every month. When {{adv|Red}} heard that the citizens of {{ci|Vermilion}} had been losing their {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, he snuck aboard the ship and found out that the local [[Gym Leader]], [[Lt. Surge]], was behind the thefts and was using the ship to transport the stolen Pokémon away. After torturing Red with his {{t|Electric}} Pokémon, Surge tossed him overboard. However, Red was narrowly saved from drowning when his {{p|Poliwhirl}} unexpectedly [[evolution|evolved]] into [[Poli]]wrath, which then proceeded to defeat Lt. Surge's {{p|Electabuzz}} with {{m|Seismic Toss}}. Although the authorities failed to find and arrest Surge, the stolen Pokémon aboard the ship were still recovered.

In ''[[PS038|Long Live the Nidoqueen?!]]'', {{adv|Giovanni}} revealed that the S.S. Anne had been used to ship the Pokémon stolen by [[Team Rocket]] from Vermilion City to [[Viridian City]], as a part of their plan to gather an unstoppable Pokémon army.

===={{MangaArc|Yellow}}====
The S.S. Anne reappeared in ''[[PS055|The Primeape Directive]]'', where {{adv|Yellow}} boarded it as it was passing by {{rt|9|Kanto}}. In ''[[PS056|The Coming of Slowpoke (Eventually)]]'', the ship, which was now a passenger ship instead of a cargo ship, was sabotaged by the [[Team Rocket Elite Trio]], who exploded a bomb inside the ship and caused it to start sinking. Although Yellow was able to defeat the trio and save all of the passengers, the ship still sunk at the Vermilion Harbor.

===Pokémon Zensho===
[[File:SS Anne Zensho.png|thumb|200px|S.S. Anne in [[Pokémon Zensho]]]]
The S.S. Anne appeared in [[PZ04]], where {{zensho|Satoshi}} boarded the ship and met {{Zensho|Shigeru}}, whom he beat in a {{pkmn|battle}}. Afterwards, Satoshi encountered the ship's seasick captain, who asked him to find a sergeant who had served with him in the army. The man turned out to be [[Lt. Surge]], who had lived years in belief that he had accidentally knocked a tall tree onto his fellow soldier. Said soldier was actually the captain of the S.S. Anne, who had saved himself with his {{m|Cut}} technique. As thanks for reuniting them, Satoshi received a {{badge|Thunder}} from Lt. Surge and {{HM|01|Cut}} from the captain, before the two men set sail together aboard the cruise ship.
{{-}}

==Trivia==
[[File:Global Police agent.png|thumb|The International Police agent in [[Generation I]]]]
* An undercover [[International Police]] agent (who has the appearance of a {{tc|Gentleman}}) appears on the S.S. Anne in pursuit of [[Team Rocket]]. In [[Generation]]s {{gen|I}} and {{gen|III}}, "International Police" is translated as "Global Police".
* A model of the S.S. Anne appears in the [[Oceanic Museum]].

===Name origin===
''St. Annu'' ({{j|サント・アンヌ}}) is the name of the computer in [[Game Freak]]'s {{wp|Sega Genesis|Sega Mega Drive}} title ''{{wp|Pulseman}}''. The specific kana spelling used is a transliteration of the French ''Sainte Anne'', which means "Saint Anne".

The Japanese word [http://jisho.org/search/%E5%8F%B7%20%23kanji {{j|号}}] ''gō'', in this context, means "model"; however, it is a Japanese-only descriptor and is not meant to be translated. The English localization uses the equivalent "S.S.", short for {{wp|steamship}}, and drops "St." from the name.

[[File:Smoke Ball escape III.png|240px|thumb|Escaping via [[Smoke Ball]] in Generation III.]]
In the [[core series]] Pokémon games, it is possible to '''escape''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|逃|に}}げる''' ''escape'') from a {{pkmn|battle}} with a [[wild Pokémon]] by selecting '''Run''' (Japanese: '''にげる''' ''Run'') on the main battle screen. However, escape is not guaranteed; whether the player is successful at running away from the battle is determined by a calculation involving the speed of the combatants. When the escape is successful, the battle ends immediately. When it is not successful, the wild Pokémon will use a move.

Entering a battle with a wild Pokémon and then escaping counts the Pokémon as being seen in the Trainer's [[Pokédex]]. In [[Generation]]s {{gen|I}} and {{gen|II}}, if the player runs from an [[List of wild Pokémon from in-game events|in-game event Pokémon]], it becomes permanently unavailable (except the {{p|Electrode}} in [[Team Rocket HQ]]). Starting in [[Generation III]], if the player runs from a [[Legendary Pokémon]], the Pokémon reappears when the player leaves and re-enters its location.

==Success conditions==
{{outdated|section|needs=everything after Generation 4}}
Generally speaking, the slower the Trainer's Pokémon and/or the faster the wild Pokémon, the harder it is to escape.

===Generation I and II===
If the player's active Pokémon's Speed is greater than or equal to the wild Pokémon's Speed, fleeing will always succeed. Otherwise, under normal circumstances, the chance of escaping is determined by the following formula
<math display="block">Odds_{Escape} = \left\lfloor \dfrac{Speed_{Player} \times 32}{\left\lfloor{Speed_{Wild} \over 4}\right\rfloor \bmod 256} \right\rfloor + 30 \times Attempts</math>
where
* <code>SpeedPlayer</code> is the current {{stat|Speed}} of the player's active Pokémon,
* <code>SpeedWild</code> is the Speed of the wild Pokémon, and
* <code>Attempts</code> is the number of consecutive times the player has tried to escape during the battle (counting the current attempt). If the player's Pokémon attacks, this number is reset to 0.

If <code>OddsEscape</code> is greater than 255, the player escapes automatically. Otherwise, a random number is generated between 0 and 255. If that number is less than <code>OddsEscape</code>, the player escapes. If not, the escape fails and the player's Pokémon does not make a move that turn. If <math display="inline">\left\lfloor{Speed_{Wild} \over 4}\right\rfloor \bmod 256</math> is equal to 0, escape is automatically a success.

In those generations, the speed drop from {{status|paralysis}} affects the chance of escaping.

===Generation III and IV===
If the player's active Pokémon's Speed is greater than or equal to the wild Pokémon's Speed, fleeing will always succeed. Otherwise, the chance of successfully fleeing is determined by the following formula:
<math display="block">Odds_{Escape} = \left(\left\lfloor {Speed_{Player} \times 128 \over Speed_{Wild}} \right\rfloor + 30 \times Attempts\right) \bmod 256</math>
where
* <code>SpeedPlayer</code> is the unmodified {{Stat|Speed}} of the player's active Pokémon,
* <code>SpeedWild</code> is the unmodified Speed of the wild Pokémon,
* <code>Attempts</code> is the number of times the player has tried to escape during the battle (counting the current attempt).

A random number is generated between 0 and 255. If that number is less than <code>OddsEscape</code>, the player escapes. If not, the escape fails and the player's Pokémon does not make a move that turn.

From Generation III onwards, the speed drop from {{status|paralysis}} no longer affects the chance of escaping.

===Generation V onwards===
If the player's active Pokémon's Speed is greater than or equal to the wild Pokémon's Speed, fleeing will always succeed. Otherwise, the chance of successfully fleeing is determined by the following formula:
:<math display="block">Odds_{Escape} = {\left(\left\lfloor {Speed_{Player} \times 32 \over {Speed_{Wild} / 4}} \right\rfloor + 30 \times Attempts\right) \over 256}</math>
where
* <code>SpeedPlayer</code> is the unmodified {{Stat|Speed}} of the player's active Pokémon,
* <code>SpeedWild</code> is the unmodified Speed of the wild Pokémon,
* <code>Attempts</code> is the number of times the player has tried to escape during the battle (counting the current attempt).

===Other factors===
{{incomplete|section| * In Generation II, if a Pokémon holding a Smoke Ball faints and the player chooses to flee, is the player guaranteed to escape? * Exact Battle Pyramid mechanics.}}
Pokémon cannot attempt to flee from Trainer battles or battles during [[Island challenge|trial]]s. In the [[Generation II]] games only, the player cannot attempt to flee from Pokémon encountered as traps in the [[Team Rocket HQ|Team Rocket's Hideout]], the [[GS Ball]] {{p|Celebi}}, the [[Bell Tower|Tin Tower]] {{p|Suicune}} (in Crystal), and the scripted [[Red Gyarados]]. In the [[Battle Pyramid]], escape is not guaranteed if the player's Pokémon is faster.

Several conditions prevent a Pokémon from even attempting to flee.
* A Pokémon with the Ability {{a|Shadow Tag}} prevents opposing Pokémon from attempting to flee. (From Generation IV onward, Pokémon with Shadow Tag are unaffected by Shadow Tag.)
* A Pokémon with the Ability {{a|Arena Trap}} prevents opposing [[grounded]] Pokémon from attempting to flee.
* A Pokémon with the Ability {{a|Magnet Pull}} prevents opposing {{type|Steel}} Pokémon from attempting to flee.
* A Pokémon affected by a {{cat|Trapping moves|trapping move}} (including {{cat|binding moves}} and {{m|Ingrain}}) is prevented from attempting to flee (from Generation II onward).

Several conditions allow a Pokémon to always successfully flee from a wild battle.
* Using an [[escape item]] ([[Poké Doll]], [[Fluffy Tail]], or [[Poké Toy]]) causes the player to escape from a wild Pokémon (regardless of trapping moves and Abilities).
* In a wild Single Battle (including an [[SOS Battle]] as long as there is currently only a single opponent), using the move {{m|Teleport}} causes the Pokémon to flee, unless a trapping move or Ability prevents escape. From Generation V onward, {{m|Ingrain}} does not prevent Teleport from being successful.
* If the player's Pokémon is holding a [[Smoke Ball]] or has the Ability {{a|Run Away}}, its attempts to flee or Teleport are always successful (regardless of trapping moves and Abilities). In Generation II only, the Smoke Ball doesn't guarantee escape if a trapping move would prevent it.
** In the [[Battle Pyramid]], Run Away does not guarantee escape, but it will be credited if a Pokémon with this Ability successfully flees.
** In Generation III and IV, if the player's Pokémon that has Run Away or a Smoke Ball faints, if the player attempts to flee instead of sending out another Pokémon, they will escape without fail.
** In Generation III only, the Smoke Ball has an animation when escaping using it. In Generation II, "Got away safely" redundantly appears after the message informing of escape via Smoke Ball.
** In Generation V only, a wild Pokémon holding a Smoke Ball cannot successfully Teleport if it is trapped by a trapping move or Ability (although the player's Pokémon can).
* From [[Generation VI]] onward, the player's {{type|Ghost}} Pokémon can always successfully flee, regardless of trapping moves or Abilities.

In a wild Single Battle (including an [[SOS Battle]] as long as there is currently only a single opponent), the moves {{m|Whirlwind}}, {{m|Roar}}, {{m|Dragon Tail}}, and {{m|Circle Throw}} force the target to flee, unless it has the Ability {{a|Suction Cups}} or has been affected by {{m|Ingrain}}. If a wild Pokémon's held [[Red Card]] is activated while it has no allies, it forces the player's Pokémon to flee.

In a wild battle, the Abilities {{a|Wimp Out}} and {{a|Emergency Exit}} cause the Pokémon with that Ability to flee if its HP falls below half.

===Example===
====Generation I and II====
The player's Pokémon has a Speed of 25 and the wild Pokémon has a Speed of 100. The player tries to escape, and has not previously attempted to flee in the battle.

First, check that the denominator <math display="inline">\left\lfloor{\tfrac{Speed_{Wild}}{4}}\right\rfloor \bmod 256</math> will not be equal to 0

<math>
\begin{align}
Denominator &= \left\lfloor{100 \over 4}\right\rfloor \bmod 256 \\
&= \lfloor 25 \rfloor \bmod 256 \\
&= 25 \bmod 256 \\
&= 25 \\
\end{align}
</math>

Since the denominator is not equal to 0, proceed to calculating the odds of escape.

<math>
\begin{align}
Odds_{Escape} &= \left\lfloor \dfrac{25 \times 32}{25} \right\rfloor + 30 \times 1 \\
&= \left\lfloor 32 \right\rfloor + 30 \\
&= 32 + 30 \\
& = 62
\end{align}
</math>

Since <code>OddsEscape</code> is not greater than 255, generate a random number between 0 and 255. If that random number is less than 62, the Pokémon flees successfully. Therefore, the probability of escaping is <math display="inline">\tfrac{62}{256} \approx 24\%</math>.

If the player fails to escape, each successive attempt will be <math display="inline">\tfrac{30}{256} \approx 11.7\%</math> more likely than the last.

==Wild Pokémon==
Certain wild Pokémon can flee from battle.

===Safari Zone===
In Generation I, III, and IV, as well as {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}}, Pokémon encountered during a [[Safari Game]] in a [[Safari Zone]] can flee. The rate of escape can be affected by throwing Bait, [[Pokéblock]]s, Rocks, or Mud or by "going near" (depending on the game). Usually food lowers the chance to flee while also lowering the [[catch rate]], and other actions increase the chance to flee while increasing the catch rate; but the Great Marsh switches those effects.
* {{gameabbrev1|RBY}}: in the [[Kanto Safari Zone]], the chance a Pokémon will flee is based on its {{stat|Speed}}; throwing Bait lowers this chance, while throwing Rocks raises it.
* {{gameabbrev3|RSE}}: in the [[Hoenn Safari Zone]], all Pokémon start with the same flee rate; throwing a [[Pokéblock]] lowers this rate, while going nearer to the Pokémon raises it.
* {{gameabbrev3|FRLG}}: in the [[Kanto Safari Zone]], each species has [[Kanto Safari Zone#Generation III|its own flee rate]] and this is influenced by whether the Pokémon is eating (lower) or angry (higher).
* {{gameabbrev4|DPPt}}: in the [[Great Marsh]], each species has [[Great Marsh#Base flee rates|its own flee rate]]; throwing Mud lowers this rate, while throwing Bait has a high chance of raising it.
* {{gameabbrev4|HGSS}}:in the [[Johto Safari Zone]], each species has [[Johto Safari Zone#Base flee rates|its own flee rate]]; throwing Bait lowers this rate, while throwing Mud has a high chance of raising it.
* {{gameabbrev8|BDSP}}: in the [[Great Marsh]], each species has [[Great Marsh#Base flee rates|its own flee rate]]; throwing Mud lowers this rate, while throwing Bait raises it.

===Generation II===
In {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}, in addition to the [[roaming Pokémon|roaming]] [[Legendary beasts]], a few species of wild Pokémon can escape from battle. Much like [[roaming Pokémon]], these Pokémon may attempt to flee immediately before they would use their move, and they will not attempt to flee when affected by {{cat|trapping moves}} (such as {{m|Mean Look}} or {{m|Wrap}}), {{status|sleep}}, or {{status|freeze}}.

All Pokémon that can flee were intended to be more likely to be caught in a [[Fast Ball]], but due to a programming error, only {{p|Magnemite}}, {{p|Grimer}}, and {{p|Tangela}} actually are more likely to be caught in a Fast Ball.

===Roaming Pokémon===
[[Roaming Pokémon]] attempt to flee every turn, unless they are prevented from fleeing (such as by {{cat|trapping moves}}).

In [[Pokémon X and Y]], roaming {{p|Articuno}}, {{p|Zapdos}}, and {{p|Moltres}} will automatically flee before even the first turn. The player must encounter the Legendary Pokémon ten times before finally battling it in [[Sea Spirit's Den]].

===Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!===
In {{LGPE}}, the capture mechanics are similar to that of [[Pokémon GO]]. Wild Pokémon excluding [[Legendary Pokémon]] have a chance of fleeing during an encounter after breaking out of a Poké Ball. If the player has a [[Catch Combo]], a wild Pokémon fleeing will cause it to be lost, but the player fleeing from a wild Pokémon will not. Shortly before fleeing, an animation different to the one when a wild Pokémon swats a [[Poké Ball]] away will play. After this animation has played any thrown Poké Balls (except the [[Master Ball]]) will fail to catch it and it will flee.

Every time a Pokémon can flee, the game rolls a value from 0 to 255 and compares it to the current flee value; if it is higher, the Pokémon escapes. This value starts at 242 and decreases for any throw that isn't Excellent (5 for Great, 10 for Nice and 20 for generic); a missed throw does not change the value.<ref>https://x.com/Sibuna_Switch/status/1851849972301369589</ref>

===Other===
{{incomplete|section|needs=Confirm whether the first battle's wild Pokémon can flee in Omega Ruby, Alpha Sapphire, Brilliant Diamond, and Shining Pearl}}
In [[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire|Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire]], {{v2|Emerald}}, {{2v2|Diamond|Pearl}}, the player battles a wild Pokémon ({{p|Poochyena}}, {{p|Zigzagoon}}, or {{p|Starly}}) immediately after obtaining their first partner Pokémon. During this battle, if the player's Pokémon's HP bar turns red (i.e. its remaining HP is 20% or less), the wild Pokémon will flee on its turn instead of attacking.

In [[Pokémon Sun and Moon|Pokémon Sun, Moon]], [[Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon]], during the {{player}}'s first visit to [[Aether Paradise]], there is a scripted battle against the [[Ultra Beast]] {{p|Nihilego}}. This Nihilego, which cannot be {{pkmn2|caught}}, is scripted to flee on the fifth turn of battle, ending the battle and continuing the story. If Nihilego was unable to flee on that turn due to being trapped or in the [[semi-invulnerable turn]] of {{m|Sky Drop}}, it will not attempt to flee on subsequent turns.

==Trainers==

===Generations I-VIII===
Prior to [[Generation IX]], it is impossible to escape from in-game {{pkmn|Trainer}} battles in which Pokémon can gain [[experience]].

However, in battles against other players, attempting to escape will cause the battle to end immediately, without fail. If only one player attempts to escape, the battle ends as a loss against them, but if both players attempt to escape in the same turn, the battle ends in a draw.

===Generation IX===
In {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}, it is possible to escape from in-game Trainer battles. Doing so is considered a loss, thus causing the same penalties as [[Black out|blacking out]].

==In spin-off games==
===Pokémon GO===
Wild Pokémon escaping is a key aspect of capturing in {{g|GO}}. Whenever the wild Pokémon breaks out of a thrown Poké Ball, there is a chance that it will run away, ending the encounter. Every species has a its own base flee rate, a flat probability of fleeing after breaking out of a Poké Ball. If the player chooses to run from a wild Pokémon encounter, the Pokémon will still remain on the overworld map until its spawn timer expires.

:''For a list of Pokémon by their base flee rates, see [[List of Pokémon by catch rate in Pokémon GO]]''

Pokémon encountered as [[Field Research|Field]] or [[Special Research]] rewards will never flee. Pokémon encountered as a result of a {{OBP|Raid Battle|GO}} or [[Team GO Rocket]] battle flee when the player runs out of [[Premier Ball]]s, but will not flee otherwise.

Every Pokémon that spawns on the map has a timer that can range from 15 to 60 minutes. If a player is currently tracking a nearby Pokémon using the app's interface, and that Pokémon's timer expires or the player walks out of tracking range, the game will notify that the Pokémon has fled.

===Pokémon Shuffle===
After beating a stage that is not a battle against a {{pkmn|Trainer}}'s [[Mega Evolution|Mega-Evolved Pokémon]] or a Pokémon that the player has already caught, the player has the chance to catch the Pokémon they fought against. The player uses a {{i|Poké Ball}} for the first attempt to capture the Pokémon. If the Pokémon is not caught, the player gets a prompt to buy a [[Great Ball]] to catch it instead. Rejecting the prompt ends the stage with the Pokémon running off screen. If the player purchases a Great Ball, they get a second chance to catch the Pokémon with the increased Catchability from the Great Ball. If this Great Ball does not catch the Pokémon, the player may purchase another Great Ball. Once again, not choosing to buy another Great Ball means the Pokémon runs away. The Pokémon has a chance to run away without the opportunity to make a purchase at any point after the first Great Ball purchase, and will run away after four Great Balls have been used. As before, this causes the stage to end.

==In the TCG==
[[File:ImakuniDoduoEvolutions112.jpg|200px|thumb|right|{{TCG ID|Evolutions|Imakuni?'s Doduo|112}} has Frenzied Escape, so when it retreats it starts to run away.]]
As written, the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] depicts a Trainer battle. As such, the concept of running away is not normally referenced directly. However, there are effects named after concepts relating to running away. For example, ''Run Away Draw'' on {{TCG ID|Temporal Forces|Dudunsparce|129}} in {{TCG|Temporal Forces}} is named after {{a|Run Away}} and {{TCG ID|Burning Shadows|Wimpod|16}} from {{TCG|Burning Shadows}} has {{a|Wimp Out}}. This may associate running away with the {{TCG|retreat}} action and with generally leaving the in-play zone.

One card does explicitly run away: {{TCG ID|Challenge from the|Imakuni?'s Doduo|Darkness}}, in its original version only released in Japan in {{TCG|Challenge from the Darkness}} and its [[Imakuni?'s Doduo (Evolutions 112)|updated version]] in {{TCG|Evolutions}}. Both cards have the {{TCG|Pokémon Power}} ''Frenzied Escape''. When Imakuni?'s Doduo retreats, the player is to throw it as far as they can "because Doduo is running away". This effect means Imakuni?'s Doduo does not go to the [[Bench]] after retreating like other cards. Instead, the Pokémon remains out of play for the rest of the game.

{{redirect|Trainer|other uses|Trainer (disambiguation)}}
[[File:Bandai Jumbo5 Peeled.jpg|thumb|250px|[[Generation I]] artwork of Pokémon Trainers flying on their Pokémon]]
A '''Pokémon Trainer'''<ref group="lower-alpha">In some early official media, "Trainer" was formatted in {{wp|Letter case#Sentence case|sentence case}} as "trainer". For example, ''"You've been finally granted your Pokémon '''trainer'''<nowiki/>'s license. Now it's time to to become the world's greatest Pokémon '''trainer'''!"'' (written on the back of the boxes of {{game|Red and Blue|s}})</ref> (Japanese: '''ポケモントレーナー''' ''Pokémon Trainer'') is a [[Human|person]] who {{pkmn2|caught|catches}}, {{pkmn|training|trains}}, cares for, and {{pkmn|battle}}s with {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. The majority of people within the known [[Pokémon world]] are Trainers.

Pokémon Trainer is a broad term for any person who owns Pokémon, including {{pkmn|Coordinator}}s and {{tc|Pokémon Breeder|Breeders}}. However, the term is more often used to refer to people on a {{pkmn|journey}} to collect [[Gym]] [[Badge]]s and enter the [[Pokémon League]].

==In the core series games==
[[File:SugimoriTrainers.png|thumb|250px|left|Trainers from different classes, from left to right: a {{tc|Team Rocket Grunt|Rocket Grunt}}, a {{tc|Lass}}, and a {{tc|Bug Catcher}}]]
Many Trainers leave home, sometimes accompanied with a [[first partner Pokémon]] obtained from a [[Pokémon Professor]], to travel around one or more [[region]]s, doing such things as gathering information for a [[Pokédex]], perfecting their technique, collecting [[Gym]] [[Badge]]s, and working to become a [[Pokémon Master]]. No matter what their specialties or aims, there is one code that they all follow—when two Trainers make eye contact, they must have a {{pkmn|battle}}.

Pokémon Trainers come in all sorts of [[#Trainer class|classes]]: {{tc|Youngster}}s tend to stay close to home, and {{tc|Bug Catcher}}s swarm about the {{t|Bug}}-filled forests; {{tc|Hiker}}s traverse mountains and [[cave]]s, {{tc|Fisherman|Fishermen}} are rarely far from water, and {{tc|Ace Trainer}}s aspire to compete in the [[Pokémon League]]. A Trainer's class may reflect their [[Type expert|favorite type]], the areas they prefer, their technique, and their level of skill; however, even within each class, Trainers may vary greatly.
[[File:Ash Unova Pokédex.png|thumb|250px|A Pokédex and set of Poké Balls for a beginning Trainer in ''[[Pokémon the Series: Black & White]]'']]
Many towns have a [[Gym]] run by a strong and experienced Trainer known as a [[Gym Leader]]. Other Trainers may challenge a Gym Leader, and if the Gym Leader is defeated in battle, they award the challenger a [[Badge]]. However, in [[Pokémon animation]], the Gym Leader may award the Trainer a Badge for other reasons, since the Badge is a symbol of the Trainer's skill. For example, {{Ash}} won several of his early Badges by refusing to take an unfair advantage or going out of his way to save a Gym, which proved himself as an exceptional Trainer outside of battle. In [[Alola]], each of the four islands has a [[Island kahuna|kahuna]] who may be challenged by traveling Trainers taking the [[island challenge]] after the completion of their island's trials.

Above the level of Gym Leaders and island kahunas are the [[Elite Four]] members and the [[Pokémon League]] {{pkmn|Champion}}. There are also Trainers who serve as {{cat|Battle facility leaders|leaders}} for [[Battle facility|battle facilities]] not recognized by the Pokémon League, such as the [[Frontier Brain]]s of the [[Battle Frontier]] and the {{tc|Battle Chatelaine}}s of the [[Battle Maison]]. These Trainers are considered the cream of the crop, and should a Trainer defeat other Trainers at this level, it is not uncommon for them to be offered a place in these high ranks.

However, just as there are many Trainers with noble goals and lawful methods, there are also corrupt Trainers, including a number of [[villainous team]]s and [[Pokémon hunter|Pokémon thieves]]. These Trainers often use powerful Pokémon to take what they want and further their plans.

While the viability of [[Pokémon training]] as a lifestyle is never outright stated in most games, it is implied in {{g|Sun and Moon}} that it does not guarantee a sufficient income. Several [[Eevee users]] are seen having to take up part-time jobs in order to obtain the finances needed to support themselves, with the latter being unable to go into retirement using just the funds from Pokémon training.

During the time period in which {{g|Legends: Arceus}} is set, the term "Pokémon Trainer" was not in use, though a few people at the time still kept, trained, cared for, and battled with Pokémon as partners. The phrase "Pokémon wielder" or "wielder of Pokémon" is used by [[Volo]] to describe himself and the player (though no other contemporaneous character uses the term) and in [[Raifort]]'s explanation about the [[treasures of ruin]]; the same Japanese phrase has also been translated as "Pokémon user" or "user of Pokémon" in past games going back to {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}.

===Trainer class===
'''Trainer classes''', officially known as a '''Trainer type'''{{sup/4|PtHGSS}} (Japanese: '''トレーナータイプ''' ''Trainer type''), '''Trainer Title'''{{sup/ss|PBR}} (Japanese: '''かたがき''' ''title''), or '''title'''{{sup/4|HGSS}}{{sup/5|BWB2W2}} (Japanese: '''{{ruby|肩書|かたが}}き''' ''title''), are the types of [[non-player character|non-playable]] Pokémon Trainers that players can battle in all [[core series]] Pokémon games. They come in different varieties and sprites which describe their occupation, estimated age, and sometimes what Pokémon they train. For example, a {{tc|Psychic}} is a young adult with telekinetic powers who trains {{type|Psychic}} Pokémon.

All Trainer classes have overworld or field sprites that sometimes may be used for non-Trainers. Unlike in-battle sprites, overworld sprites may be shared between multiple Trainer classes such as the {{tc|Ace Trainer}} overworld sprite, which is shared with {{tc|Dragon Tamer}}s and {{tc|Pokémon Ranger}}s in Generation IV. Notable Trainer classes, such as Gym Leaders, have unique sprites between each individual one. Trainer classes can be combined in certain [[Double Battle]]s; for example a {{tc|Crush Girl}} and a {{tc|Black Belt}} can team up to form a {{tc|Crush Kin}}; however, special class names are not created for Trainers involved in a [[Multi Battle]].

From [[Generation III]] to [[Generation V]], the {{player}} assumes the form of a generic Trainer class of their choice when data of this player is exchanged wirelessly or through [[record mixing]] to another core series game of the same generation. In [[Pokémon Battle Revolution]], the player can choose a Trainer Title for their [[Custom Pass]].

===As a Trainer class===
[[File:Red HGSS battle.png|thumb|250px|The Trainer class as it appears in-battle]]
In the games, Pokémon Trainer (rendered as "{{PK}}{{MN}} Trainer" until [[Generation VI]], in which the full title "Pokémon Trainer" is written out) is used as the Trainer class for certain storyline characters. These opponents tend to be the most powerful non-arena Trainers the player will face. This class is used for all [[rival]]s (except {{ga|Blue}} and {{ga|Silver}}, who are instead outright referred to as rivals), every opponent in link battles and the [[Pokémon World Tournament]], {{DL|Battle Tree|special Trainers}} in the [[Battle Tree]], and {{DL|Battle Agency|Bosses}} of the [[Battle Agency]], as well as the following characters:

* {{game|Gold and Silver|s|Pokémon Gold, Silver}}, and {{v2|Crystal}}: {{ga|Red}}, {{ga|Cal}}, and {{ga|Carrie}}
* {{game|Emerald}}: {{Steven}}
* [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl|Pokémon Diamond, Pearl]], and [[Pokémon Platinum|Platinum]]: {{ga|Lucas}}{{tt|*|as NPC}}, {{ga|Dawn}}{{tt|*|as NPC}}, and the [[Stat Trainers]] ([[Cheryl]], [[Mira]], [[Riley]], [[Buck]], and [[Marley]])

==In the spin-off games==
===Play It! series===
In the introduction of [[Pokémon Play It!]] and [[Pokémon Play It! Version 2]], {{OBP|Julie|Play It!}} says that she and the [[player character]] are Pokémon Trainers. However, they play the {{pkmn|Trading Card Game}} rather than train Pokémon. In the lesson "What's a Trainer card?", Julie mentions that [[Bill]] is a Trainer as well.

===Super Smash Bros. series===
[[File:Pokemon Trainer SSBU.png|thumb|200px|Pokémon Trainer in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]
{{main|Pokémon Trainer (Super Smash Bros.)}}
There is a {{player|playable character}} called "{{sbw|Pokémon Trainer|Pokémon Trainer}}" in the game [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]. His appearance is based on {{ga|Red}}'s [[Generation III]] design, and he uses members of the [[List of Pokémon by evolutionary line|evolutionary lines]] of the [[Kanto first partner Pokémon]] to battle against the others, namely {{p|Squirtle}}, {{p|Ivysaur}}, and {{p|Charizard}}. While he was absent in [[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U]], he returned in [[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]], along an alternate female version based on {{ga|Leaf}}.

====Trophy information====
[[File:Pokémon Trainer 3DS trophy SSB4.png|thumb|left|150px|Pokémon Trainer trophy in Super Smash Bros. for 3DS]]
[[File:Pokémon Trainer XY 3DS trophy SSB4.png|thumb|150px|Pokémon Trainer X&Y trophy in Super Smash Bros. for 3DS]]
Two trophies appear in the 3DS version of [[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U]], one of the Brawl character and one of the player characters from {{g|X and Y}}.

=====Pokémon Trainer=====
'''NA''': ''Pop quiz! What do Misty, Brock, Cynthia, Iris, and Ash all have in common? That's right—they're all Pokémon Trainers! This Pokémon Master in the making is the same. Back in Super Smash Bros. Brawl, [[Pokémon Theme|he fought to be the very best—like no one ever was. To smash them was his real test—to launch them was his cause!]]''

'''PAL''': ''Quiz time! What do Misty, Brock, Cynthia, Iris and Ash all have in common? That's right - they're all Pokémon Trainers! This Pokémon Master in the making is just the same.

=====Pokémon Trainer (Pokémon X & Y) (NA)/Trainers (PAL)=====
'''NA''': ''We suppose it's possible you've missed out up till now, so let us explain: in Pokémon, you set out from your hometown on a Pokémon journey, catching Pokémon and fighting battles with them. In Pokémon X and Pokémon Y, you reach the next town and find yourself embroiled in a tale of... No, wait—no spoilers! ''

'''PAL''': ''If you've been living under a rock for some years now, let us explain. In Pokémon, you start from your home town on your own Pokémon journey, catching Pokémon and fighting battles with them. In Pokémon X and Pokémon Y, you reach the next town and find yourself embroiled in a tale of... Well, we won't spoil it for you.''

===Pokémon Shuffle===
In {{g|Shuffle}}, [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolved]] Pokémon (which appear as bosses in [[stage (Shuffle)#Main stage|main stage]]s and [[competitive stage]]s) are each accompanied by a Pokémon Trainer. These Pokémon Trainers are depicted in silhouette. The first one, located in Stage 10 of [[Puerto Blanco]], owns a Audino capable of [[Mega Evolution]]. They ask the player to battle them. Afterward, they give the player a [[Audinite]] that they can use to [[Mega Evolve]] their own Audino, and provide some instructions on how to use it.

All other Trainers only have one line before sending out their Pokémon, and do not say anything after the battle. This also applies to any additional playthroughs of Stage 10. If the stage was one of the main stages, the Mega Stone corresponding to their Pokémon is still rewarded after the battle. However, there is no accompanying dialogue
{{-}}

==Trivia==
* For ''[[DP005|Gettin' Twiggy With It!]]'', [[Professor Oak's Big Pokémon Encyclopedia]] is about Pokémon Trainers. He writes this {{wp|senryū}} about it: 「さあ10さい　ぼくもわたしも　トレーナー」 ''"Ah, the age 10; we will all be Trainers."''
* It is stated in {{aniseries|PTS}} that a person may not become a Trainer until the age of 10; however, this is not the case in other media as some Trainers are obviously below the minimum age, such as the Trainer classes {{tc|Twins}}, {{tc|Tuber}}, and {{tc|Preschooler}}. Some Preschoolers in the [[Battle Subway]] emphasize the fact that they are four years old. However, in the {{aniseries|BW}} episode ''[[BW065|Battling the Bully!]]'', {{an|Cilan}} mentions that young kids are allowed to have battles for fun.
** In addition, [[Poppy]] of the Paldea Elite Four is stated to be 9 years old.
* In [[Generation I]] and [[Generation II]], the word "Trainer" is not capitalized. However, it is capitalized in later games.
* In ''[[Pocket Monsters: The Animation]]'', it was revealed that Pokémon training was a very dangerous sport, as the mere act of training a Pokémon can result in severe injuries or even death. It also mentions that various men try to go out and become a Pokémon trainer at age 10 (which was considered the legal age of adulthood), and there was a high dropout rate regarding whether they become skilled Trainers that afterwards they come across as incompetent. It is also implied that this is the reason why many professional workplaces are primarily staffed by women.
* [[Pokémon X and Y]] introduced the most new Trainer classes of any [[core series]] game, with 47.
* {{game|Crystal}} and {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}} introduced the fewest new Trainer classes of any core series games, with one each.
* The only Trainer classes to appear in every main line game are the {{tc|Black Belt}}, {{tc|Hiker}}, and {{tc|Youngster}}.

{{samename|Pokémon information screen formerly known as "stats"|Summary}}
----

A '''stat''' (Japanese: '''{{ruby|能力|のうりょく}}''' ''ability'') refers to any of several parameters pertaining to {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that can affect [[priority|turn order]], [[accuracy|move success]], and [[damage|damage output]] during a [[Pokémon battle|battle]]. With exception to the [[HP|HP stat]], a Pokémon's stat can also be temporarily raised or lowered in stages during battle through various [[stat modifier|effects]]. In a large subset of these parameters, '''stats''' also refer to their measured values attributed to individual Pokémon, and they are generally raised by increasing their [[level]] or by [[evolution|evolving]]. While each species of Pokémon share the same set of [[base stats]] that determine the actual stats of a Pokémon at a given level, other properties add to the variation of stats within the species, most notably being [[individual values]], [[effort values]], and [[Nature]].

The name is short for '''statistic'''; in some cases, it has also been named '''ability''', '''rating''', '''effect''', or '''parameter'''.

==Terminology==
===Stat===
:''Not to be confused with the Pokémon's [[summary]], called "stats" in Generations I and II.''

The word "stat" (or "stats") is not used in [[Generation I]] with this meaning. The word "statistic" (or "statistics") is not used in any [[core series]] game with this meaning.

The word "stat" is used in several places from [[Generation II]] onwards. Some examples:

* The move descriptions of {{m|Haze}}, {{m|Psych Up}}, and {{m|Mist}} use "stat" or "stats" from [[Generation II]] onwards, except in some [[Generation III]] games.
* In the text displayed when {{m|Haze}} is used in Generation II: "All stat changes were eliminated!"
* In the text displayed when {{m|Psych Up}} is used in Generation II: "<user> copied the stat changes of <target>!"
* The [[Trainer Tips]] from {{rt|36|Johto}} in [[Generation II]]: "{{ScPkmn}} stats vary--even within the same [[Pokémon (species)|species]]. Their stats may be similar at first. However, differences will become pronounced as the {{ScPkmn}} grow."
* According to [[Pryce]] in Generation II, the Glacier Badge raises the "<sc>Special</sc> stats of {{ScPkmn}}".
* Some dialogue in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} uses "stat", replacing "ability" from the Generation I dialogue. For instance, an NPC in [[Lavender Town]]'s [[Poké Mart]] and two NPCs at the fifth floor of the [[Celadon Department Store]] talk about items that raise the Pokémon's stats (as opposed to "abilities" in Generation I).

===Rating===
:''Not to be confused with the [[Pokédex]] rating.''

Sometimes, the word "rating" was used up to [[Generation II]].

* In {{m|Growth}}'s description from {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}.
* In {{m|Psychic}}'s description from [[Pokémon Stadium]] and {{pkmn|Stadium 2}}.

===Effect===
In {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}, as well as [[Pokémon Colosseum]] and {{XD}}, the move {{m|Psych Up}} simply copies the target's stat changes. However, the move description states that it copies the foe's "effect(s)".

===Ability===
:''Not to be confused with the Pokémon's [[Ability]], which provides a passive effect in battle or in the overworld.''

Sometimes, the word "ability" was used up to [[Generation III]].

* In the [[Generation I]] games:
** Mr. Psychic says when delivering [[TM29]] ({{m|Psychic}}): "It may lower the target's <sc>Special</sc> abilities."
** An NPC in [[Lavender Town]]'s [[Poké Mart]] mentions "items that raise the abilities of {{ScPkmn}} during a battle", referring to items such as [[X Attack]] and [[X Defense]].
** Two NPCs at the fifth floor of the [[Celadon Department Store]] mention "{{ScPkmn}} ability enhancers", referring to items such as [[Carbos]] and [[Calcium]].
** [[Blaine]], as well as the man who explains badges in [[Cerulean City]], mention that the Volcano Badge increases a Pokémon's "<sc>Special</sc> abilities".
* In the [[Pokémon Stadium]] manual, it is said "Compare the Abilities of Captured Pokémon!", referring to their stats.
* In [[Generation II]], the string for multiple stats being at +6 already uses the word <sc>Ability</sc>.
* The [[Generation III]] descriptions of {{a|Clear Body}}, {{m|Mist}}, and {{m|Memento}} mention "ability" or "abilities", referring to stats.
* In {{game|Emerald}}, this term is used by the [[Pokémon Breeder]] at the {{OBP|Battle Frontier|Generation III}}. For instance: "If you ever become as seasoned as me, you'll see the abilities of {{ScPkmn}} at a glance."

===Parameter===
* The list of stats is named "Parameters" (Japanese: パラメータ) at the Pokémon's [[summary]] in [[Pokémon Gold and Silver Spaceworld '97 demo]].

==List of stats==
===Permanent stats===
====HP====
{{main|HP}}

The '''[[HP]]''' stat (Japanese: '''HP''', symbol '''H'''), short for '''Hit Points''' (Japanese: '''{{j|ヒットポイント}}''' ''Hit Point''), determines how much [[damage]] a Pokémon can receive before [[fainting]]. In [[Pokémon GO]], it is also called '''Stamina'''.

====Attack====
The '''Attack stat''' (Japanese: '''{{ruby|攻撃能力|こうげきのうりょく}}''' ''attack ability'', symbol '''A'''), or informally '''Physical Attack''', partly determines how much damage a Pokémon deals when using a [[physical move]]. For more information on how Attack affects damage, see {{DL|Damage|Damage calculation|Damage → Damage calculation}}.

====Defense====
The '''Defense stat''' (Japanese: '''{{ruby|防御能力|ぼうぎょのうりょく}}''' ''defense ability'', symbol '''B'''), or informally '''Physical Defense''', partly determines how much damage a Pokémon receives when it is hit with a [[physical move]]. For more information on how Defense affects damage, see {{DL|Damage|Damage calculation|Damage → Damage calculation}}.

====Special====
The '''Special stat''' (Japanese: '''{{j|とくしゅのうりょく}}''' ''special ability'') is a stat that exists only in [[Generation I]].

The Special stat accounted for what is currently known as Special Attack and Special Defense, determining how much damage a Pokémon both receives and deals when [[special move]]s are used. As a result, a Pokémon could not be both strong with and weak against a Special attack, or vice versa, in the same way a Pokémon might have high Attack but low Defense. With [[Generation II]], the Special stat was split into Special Attack and Special Defense, meaning Pokémon could have different [[Base stats|base stat values]] for both, and those stats were both displayed on a Pokémon's stat screen; however, [[individual values]] and [[effort values]] remained unsplit, so that there was only a Special individual value and Special effort values, which affected both the Special Attack and Special Defense stats. Furthermore, [[Calcium]] increased both stats. In [[Generation III]], IVs and EVs were finally given both Special Attack and Special Defense values as well, and the Calcium now worked on only Special Attack while the Zinc was introduced for the Special Defense.

=====Special Attack=====
The '''Special Attack stat''' (Japanese: '''{{ruby|特攻能力|とくこうのうりょく}}''' ''special attack ability'', symbol '''C'''), or '''Sp. Atk''' and '''Spcl. Atk'''{{sup/2|GSC}}{{sup/ss|Stad2}} for short, partly determines how much damage a Pokémon deals when using a [[special move]]. For more information on how Special Attack affects damage, see {{DL|Damage|Damage calculation|Damage → Damage calculation}}.

=====Special Defense=====
The '''Special Defense stat''' (Japanese: '''{{ruby|特防能力|とくぼうのうりょく}}''' ''special defense ability'', symbol '''D'''), or '''Sp. Def''' and '''Spcl. Def'''{{sup/2|GSC}}{{sup/ss|Stad2}} for short, partly determines how much damage a Pokémon receives when it is hit with a [[special move]]. For more information on how Special Defense affects damage, see {{DL|Damage|Damage calculation|Damage → Damage calculation}}.

====Speed====
The '''Speed stat''' (Japanese: '''{{Ruby|素早|すばや}}さ{{Ruby|能力|のうりょく}}''' ''agility'', symbol '''S''') determines the order of Pokémon that can act in battle. If Pokémon are moving with the same [[priority]], Pokémon with higher Speed at the start of any turn will generally make a [[move]] before ones with lower Speed; in the case that two Pokémon have the same Speed, one of them will randomly go first. Prior to [[Generation VIII]], in-battle changes to a Pokémon's Speed stat did not start affecting turn order until the following turn; however, in [[Generation VII]], if [[Mega Evolution]] or [[Ultra Burst]] caused changes to the base Speed stat or to an [[Ability]] that affected Speed or priority, those changes took effect immediately for the upcoming turn. In Generation VIII, all speed changes take effect immediately; after every individual move, the next Pokémon to move is the fastest Pokémon that hasn't yet made its move that turn.

===In-battle stats===
====Evasion====
The '''evasion rate''' (Japanese: '''{{ruby|回避率|かいひりつ}}''' ''evasion rate''), or '''evasiveness''', of a Pokémon determines its probability of avoiding other Pokémon's moves. The initial value at the start of any battle is 100%. If a Pokémon's evasiveness is reduced below 100% with a move such as {{m|Sweet Scent}} or {{m|Defog}}, other Pokémon will have a better chance of their moves hitting. If evasiveness is increased above 100% with a move such as {{m|Double Team}}, other Pokémon will have a harder time connecting their moves.

====Accuracy====
The '''accuracy rate''' (Japanese: '''{{ruby|命中率|めいちゅうりつ}}''' ''accuracy rate'') or '''accuracy''' of a Pokémon determines its probability of hitting another Pokémon. The initial value at the start of any battle is 100%. Along with accuracy-raising moves and items, in {{Pokémon XD}}, the player can also raise a Pokémon's accuracy by one stage by using the call action, as long as the Pokémon is not {{status|sleep|asleep}} or in [[Reverse Mode]] (in which case removing the condition takes precedence over raising accuracy).

==Determination of stats==
===Base stat values===
A Pokémon's [[Base stats|base stat values]] will most often have the greatest influence over their specific stats at any level. Disregarding individual values, effort values, and [[Nature]], a level 100 Pokémon's stats in Attack, Defense, Speed, Special Attack, and Special Defense will be exactly 5 more than double its base stat values in each, while the HP stat will be 110 plus double the base stat value (except in the case of {{p|Shedinja}}, whose HP is always 1).

For a list of Pokémon by their base stat values, see the [[list of Pokémon by base stats]].

===Level===
{{main|Level}}
When a Pokémon grows a level, its stats will increase. For each level gained (ignoring Nature), stats will increase by 1/50 the base stat value, and 1/100 the combined individual value and effort value. This means that it is impossible, through leveling up, for a Pokémon to ever ''lose'' points in a stat unless it evolves into a Pokémon with a lower base stat value for that specific stat or an EV-reducing Berry is used. It is also impossible for any Pokémon other than {{p|Shedinja}} not to gain HP upon leveling up without using a Pomeg Berry ({{game|Emerald}} onward) as no evolutionary line has members with a lower base HP than the pre-evolved forms.

===Nature===
{{main|Nature}}
Most Natures enhance the growth of one stat, while hindering the growth of another. After all other calculations are finished, the stat that the Nature enhances will be 110% of what it would be without the Nature, and the stat hindered will be 90% of its normal value. The Nature boost or reduction is internally calculated by multiplying the stat after 5 is added to it by 110 if the Nature boosts the stat, 100 if the Nature doesn't affect the stat, or 90 if the Nature lowers the stat, then dividing the result by 100 and truncating the decimal.

===Individual values===
{{main|Individual values}}
Individual values cause two Pokémon of the same species to have different stats. Between generations there are different manners of determining them.

===Effort values===
{{main|Effort values}}
Effort values are what cause a trained Pokémon to have higher stats than an untrained counterpart of the same level. For every 4 EVs gained, a level 100 Pokémon will have 1 extra point in its stats. Variance of stats caused by EVs reaches a maximum of 63 points at level 100, as a Pokémon can gain a maximum of 252 EVs in a single stat.

===Go Power===
{{main|Go Power}}
Go Power are a mechanic introduced in [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], replacing {{EV}}s as the means of further raising a Pokémon's stats. A Pokémon's stat will have 1 extra point for every value of Go Power gained regardless of level, and each stat is capped at 200 values of Go Power.

===Formula===
:''See also: {{DL|Damage|Damage calculation|Damage → Damage calculation}}''
====Generations I and II====

<math>HP = \left\lfloor {\left( (Base + DV) \times 2 + \left\lfloor \tfrac{\left\lceil \sqrt{STATEXP} \right\rceil}{4} \right\rfloor \right) \times Level \over 100} \right\rfloor + Level + 10</math>

Its HP can be calculated as follows:

<math>
\begin{align}
HP & = \left\lfloor {\left( (35 + 7) \times 2 + \left\lfloor \tfrac{\left\lceil \sqrt{22850} \right\rceil}{4} \right\rfloor \right) \times 81 \over 100} \right\rfloor + 81 + 10 \\
& = \left\lfloor {( 42 \times 2 + 38) \times 81 \over 100} \right\rfloor + 91 \\
& = \left\lfloor {122 \times 81 \over 100} \right\rfloor + 91 \\
& = \lfloor {98.82} \rfloor + 91 \\
& = 98 + 91 \\
& = 189
\end{align}
</math>

Its Special Attack and Special Defense stats simply rely on the Special EV and IV.

<math>
\begin{align}
SpAtk & = \left\lfloor {\left( (50 + 9) \times 2 + \left\lfloor \tfrac{\left\lceil \sqrt{19625} \right\rceil}{4} \right\rfloor \right) \times 81 \over 100} \right\rfloor + 5 \\
& = \left\lfloor {( 59 \times 2 + 35) \times 81 \over 100} \right\rfloor + 5 \\
& = \left\lfloor {153 \times 81 \over 100} \right\rfloor + 5 \\
& = \lfloor 123.93 \rfloor + 5 \\
& = 123 + 5 \\
& = 128
\end{align}
</math>

<math>
\begin{align}
SpDef & = \left\lfloor {\left( (40 + 9) \times 2 + \left\lfloor \tfrac{\left\lceil \sqrt{19625} \right\rceil}{4} \right\rfloor \right) \times 81 \over 100} \right\rfloor + 5 \\
& = \left\lfloor {( 49 \times 2 + 35) \times 81 \over 100} \right\rfloor + 5 \\
& = \left\lfloor {133 \times 81 \over 100} \right\rfloor + 5 \\
& = \lfloor 107.73 \rfloor + 5 \\
& = 107 + 5 \\
& = 112
\end{align}
</math>

Its Speed can be calculated as follows:

<math>
\begin{align}
Speed & = \left\lfloor {\left( (90 + 5) \times 2 + \left\lfloor \tfrac{\left\lceil \sqrt{24795} \right\rceil}{4} \right\rfloor \right) \times 81 \over 100} \right\rfloor + 5 \\
& = \left\lfloor {( 95 \times 2 + 39) \times 81 \over 100} \right\rfloor + 5 \\
& = \left\lfloor {229 \times 81 \over 100} \right\rfloor + 5 \\
& = \lfloor 185.49 \rfloor + 5 \\
& = 185 + 5 \\
& = 190
\end{align}
</math>

In the end, this Pikachu's stats are:

====Generation III onward====
<math>HP = \left\lfloor {(2 \times Base + IV + \left\lfloor \tfrac{EV}{4} \right\rfloor) \times Level \over 100} \right\rfloor + Level + 10</math>

<math>OtherStat = \left\lfloor \left( \left\lfloor {(2 \times Base + IV + \left\lfloor \tfrac{EV}{4} \right\rfloor) \times Level \over 100} \right\rfloor + 5 \right) \times Nature \right\rfloor</math>

These formulas mean that, aside from {{p|Shedinja}}'s HP (which is always 1), the lowest a stat can ever possibly be is 4 (or, for the HP stat, 11).

=====Example=====
Consider a Level 78 {{p|Garchomp}} with the following IVs and EVs and an '''Adamant''' [[nature]]:

{| class="roundy" style="margin:auto; text-align:center; background: #{{Dragon color dark}}; border: 5px solid #{{Dragon color}}"

| style="background:#fff" |48
| style="background:#fff" |84
| style="background:#fff" |23
| style="background:#fff; {{roundybr|5px}}" |'''510'''
|}
Its HP can be calculated as follows:

<math>
\begin{align}
HP & = \left\lfloor {(2 \times 108 + 24 + \left\lfloor \tfrac{74}{4} \right\rfloor) \times 78 \over 100} \right\rfloor + 78 + 10 \\
& = \left\lfloor {(216 + 24 + 18) \times 78 \over 100} \right\rfloor + 88 \\
& = \left\lfloor {258 \times 78 \over 100} \right\rfloor + 88 \\
& = \lfloor 201.24 \rfloor + 88 \\
& = 201 + 88 \\
& = 289
\end{align}
</math>

The Adamant nature raises Attack and lowers Special Attack. This means that when calculating the Attack stat, ''Nature'' = 1.1, and when calculating the Special Attack stat, ''Nature'' = 0.9. So this Garchomp's Attack stat will be:
<math>
\begin{align}
Attack & = \left\lfloor \left( \left\lfloor {\left(2 \times 130 + 12 + \left\lfloor \tfrac{190}{4} \right\rfloor\right) \times 78 \over 100} \right\rfloor + 5 \right) \times 1.1 \right\rfloor \\
& = \left\lfloor \left( \left\lfloor {(260 + 12 + 47) \times 78 \over 100} \right\rfloor + 5 \right) \times 1.1 \right\rfloor \\
& = \left\lfloor \left( \left\lfloor {319 \times 78 \over 100} \right\rfloor + 5 \right) \times 1.1 \right\rfloor \\
& = \left\lfloor \left(248 + 5 \right) \times 1.1 \right\rfloor & \left\lfloor \tfrac{319 \times 78}{100} \right\rfloor &= 248 \\
& = \lfloor 278.3 \rfloor & \left(248 + 5 \right) \times 1.1 &= 278.3 \\
& = 278
\end{align}
</math>

And its Special Attack stat will be:

<math>
\begin{align}
SpAtk & = \left\lfloor \left( \left\lfloor {\left( 2 \times 80 + 16 + \left\lfloor \tfrac{48}{4} \right\rfloor \right) \times 78 \over 100} \right\rfloor + 5 \right) \times 0.9 \right\rfloor \\
& = \left\lfloor \left( \left\lfloor {(160 + 16 + 12) \times 78 \over 100} \right\rfloor + 5 \right) \times 0.9 \right\rfloor \\
& = \left\lfloor \left( \left\lfloor {188 \times 78 \over 100} \right\rfloor + 5 \right) \times 0.9 \right\rfloor \\
& = \left\lfloor (146 + 5) \times 0.9 \right\rfloor & \left\lfloor \tfrac{188 \times 78}{100} \right\rfloor &= 146 \\
& = \lfloor 135.9 \rfloor & (146 + 5) \times 0.9 &= 135.9 \\
& = 135
\end{align}
</math>

Its Speed stat, on the other hand, has no ''Nature'' multiplier, so it is calculated as:

<math>
\begin{align}
Speed & = \left\lfloor \left( \left\lfloor {\left(2 \times 102 + 5 + \left\lfloor \tfrac{23}{4} \right\rfloor \right) \times 78 \over 100} \right\rfloor + 5 \right) \times 1 \right\rfloor \\
& = \left\lfloor {(204 + 5 + 5) \times 78 \over 100} \right\rfloor + 5\\
& = \left\lfloor {214 \times 78 \over 100} \right\rfloor + 5 \\
& = \lfloor 166.92 \rfloor + 5 \\
& = 166+5 \\
& = 171
\end{align}
</math>

In the end, this Garchomp's stats are as follows:

{| class="roundy" style="margin:auto; text-align:center; background: #{{Dragon color dark}}; border: 5px solid #{{Dragon color}}"

====[[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]]====
In Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!, effort values have been replaced with [[Go Power]], which are flat stat boosts added to the total after all other calculations have been made. Additionally, all non-HP stats can receive a slight boost that scales with [[friendship]]. Stats are now updated simultaneously with any changes to the variables, rather than after a Pokémon has leveled up.

The Go Power bonus can range anywhere between 0 and 200 for all stats, and a Pokémon can have all six stats maxed out to 200 values of Go Power each. The friendship multiplier can range between 1 and 1.1, scaling directly with the Pokémon's level of friendship <math display="inline">\left(1 + \dfrac{\left\lfloor \tfrac{10 \times friendship}{255} \right\rfloor}{100} \right)</math>.

<math>
\begin{align}
HP &= \left\lfloor {(2 \times Base + IV) \times Level \over 100} \right\rfloor + Level + 10 + AV \\
OtherStat &= \left\lfloor \left( {(2 \times Base + IV) \times Level \over 100} + 5 \right) \times Nature \times Friendship \right\rfloor + AV
\end{align}
</math>

====[[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]]====
In Pokémon Legends: Arceus, a Pokémon's stats are calculated using [[effort level]]s, replacing the mechanics around {{EV}}s and {{IV}}s. IVs are still present, but that is only used to determine a Pokémon's starting effort level in each stat, up to three effort levels; beyond this, IVs have no effect on stats.

<math>
\begin{align}
HP &= \left\lfloor \left(\tfrac{Level}{100} + 1 \right) \times Base + Level \right\rfloor + ELB \\
OtherStat &= \left\lfloor \left\lfloor \frac{\left(\tfrac{Level}{50}+1\right) \times Base}{1.5} \right\rfloor \times Nature \right\rfloor + ELB
\\\\
ELB &= \operatorname{round} \left(\frac{ \sqrt{Base} \times Multiplier + Level}{2.5}\right)
\end{align}
</math>

where:
* ''Base'' is the Pokémon species' base value for that stat
* ''Level'' is the Pokémon's level
* ''Nature'' is 0.9 if the Pokémon has a hindering Nature, 1.1 if it has a helpful Nature, and 1 otherwise.
* ''ELB'' is the effort level bonus, directly added to the Pokémon's stat. The result is rounded to the nearest integer.
** ''Multiplier'' is the effort level multiplier, which is determined from the effort level as follows:
::{| style="{{roundy|10px}}; border: 3px solid #{{legends arceus color dark}}; background: #{{legends arceus color}}; text-align: center"

===In battle===
In battle, additional [[#Stat modifiers|modifiers]] can further alter the effective value of a stat. This is not reflected in visible stats, but instead is only accounted for when [[damage]] is done.

====Accuracy and evasion====
Accuracy and evasion are not visible anywhere as explicit stats, but they influence the probability of a move hitting. The nuances of this calculation differ between games. [[:Category:Moves that cannot miss|Some moves]] ignore accuracy checks.

=====Generations I and II=====
Whether a move hits depends on the formula:

<math>T = Accuracy_{move} \times Accuracy_{user} \times Evasion_{target} - BrightPowder</math>, where:
* ''T'' is the computed threshold value that will determine whether the move will hit, always at least 1 and at most 255,
* ''Accuracymove'' is the move's [[accuracy]], a value from 0 to 255,
* ''Accuracyuser'' is the accuracy [[Stat modifier#Stage multipliers|stage multiplier]] of the user,
* ''Evasiontarget'' is the evasion stage multiplier of the target, and
* ''BrightPowder'' is 20 if the user is [[held item|holding]] [[Bright Powder|BrightPowder]] (in Generation II) or 0 otherwise.

The game then selects a random number ''r'' from 0 to 255 and compares it to ''T'' to determine whether the move hits.

In Generation I, if ''r'' is less than ''T'', the move hits. This results in a bug where no move can be guaranteed to hit (excluding {{m|Bide}} and {{m|Swift}}) since even if ''T'' is 255, if ''r'' is also 255, the move will miss.

In Generation II, if ''T'' is 255 or if ''r'' is less than ''T'', the move hits. This eliminates the bug from Generation I.

=====Generations III onward=====
Whether a move hits depends on the formula:

<math>T= Accuracy_{move} \times StageMultiplier \times Other</math>, where:
* ''T'' is the computed threshold value that will determine whether the move will hit,
* ''Accuracymove'' is the move's [[accuracy]], a value from 1 to 100,
* ''StageMultiplier'' is the equivalent accuracy [[Stat modifier#Stage multipliers|stage multiplier]] of the user after the target's evasion stage is subtracted from the user's accuracy stage, both possibly modified by Ability or move effects such as {{a|Simple}} or {{m|Foresight}} (to no less than -6 and no more than 6 after the subtraction), and
* ''Other'' encompasses all multipliers from other accuracy or evasion modifiers from Ability effects, [[fog]], move effects, and item effects (as can be seen in [[Stat_modifier#In-battle_modification|this table]]), serially applied.

The game then selects a random number ''r'' from 1 to 100 and compares it to ''T'' to determine whether the move hits. If ''r'' is less than or equal to ''T'', the move hits.

===Combat Power===
'''Combat Power''' (Japanese: '''コンバットパワー''' ''Combat Power'', formerly '''{{ruby|総合的|そうごうてき}}な{{ruby|強|つよ}}さ''' ''Total Power''<ref>[https://pokemongolive.com/ja/post/cp_update/ 「ポケモンのCPのバランスを調整しました」 – Pokémon GO]</ref>), or '''CP''' (Japanese: '''{{j|CP}}'''), is a value first introduced in [[Pokémon GO]] and carried over to [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], used to roughly summarize a Pokémon's overall potential in battle. In Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!, it's based on the total of all a Pokémon's stats and {{AV}}s. Note that CP is not an actual statistic but rather a visual indicator of a Pokémon's overall strength, so it does not have any direct effect in battles.

<math>CP = \min \left(\left\lfloor \left( \sum Stats - \sum GoPower \right)\ \times { Level \times 6 \over 100} + \sum GoPower \times \left( \frac{Level \times 4}{100} + 2 \right) \right\rfloor , 10000 \right)</math>

The CP of any Pokémon in Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee! is always capped at 10,000; even if a Pokémon's stat continues to grow after that, the CP will still show as 10,000.

The lowest possible CP is 2. This is possible if a level 1 {{p|Caterpie}} transferred from Pokémon GO has minimum [[friendship]], 0 IVs and 0 values of Go Power in every stat.

==Stat modifiers==
{{main|Stat modifier}}
When a stat is used in a calculation in battle, a number of modifiers may be applied during the calculation. During a battle, a Pokémon's effective stats may be raised or lowered by certain [[move]]s, [[Ability|Abilities]], and [[held items]]. Some attacks may only have a chance of raising or lowering stats, while certain Abilities and held items may require a triggering event to activate any stat modifications.

==In other games==
===Mystery Dungeon series===
{{main|Stat (Mystery Dungeon)}}

In the [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series]], Pokémon have HP, Attack, Defense, Special Attack, Special Defense, and [[#Speed 2|Speed]]{{sup/md|SMD}}{{sup/md|DX}} stats, just like in the core games. However, these games also have a few stats not seen in the core games.

===Pokémon Conquest===
{{main|Stat (Conquest)}}

In [[Pokémon Conquest]], Pokémon have HP, Range, Attack, Defense, and Speed stats, as well as a non-numeric Energy stat, and a derived stat called Strength.

===Pokémon GO===
{{main|Stat (GO)}} {{anchor|CP}}
Pokémon in [[Pokémon GO]] have '''HP''', '''Attack''', and '''Defense''' stats, as well as a derived stat, '''CP'''. Pokémon GO makes no distinction between physical or special damage like the core games do; instead, all {{GO|move|attack}}s simply use Attack and Defense to calculate damage. Of the four stats in Pokémon GO, however, only HP and CP are directly visible.

===Pokémon: Magikarp Jump===
===={{anchor|JP|Jump Power}}====
{{incomplete|section|needs=JP required per level, image}}
'''Jump Power''' (Japanese: '''はねる{{ruby|力|ちから}}''' ''Jump Power''), or '''JP''' (Japanese: '''{{j|CP}}'''), is a stat that indicates a {{p|Magikarp}}'s ability to jump in [[Pokémon: Magikarp Jump]]. Jump Power is also used in place of [[experience]] to determine when a Magikarp levels up. JP can still be earned even after reaching the maximum level of 100, with the absolute maximum JP capped at 12,900,605,640,709<ref>[https://automaton-media.com/en/news/20210513-765/ Pokémon: Magikarp Jump player reaches maximum Jump Power at 12,900,605,640,709 - Automaton Media]</ref> (shortened to 12.9T).

As the Jump Power becomes larger and larger, it will be measured with the help of {{wp|SI prefix}}es.

===''Pokémon the Series''===
[[File:Ash Dragonite Dragon Dance.png|thumb|250px|[[Ash's Dragonite]] raising its attack power and speed with {{m|Dragon Dance}}]]
Stats in {{aniseries|PTS}} appear to leave out the Special and Physical concept. It is more dependent on attack power and the amount of [[damage]] inflicted instead of Attack and Special Attack, and endurance rather than Special Defense and Defense.

===={{aniseries|OS}}====
In the [[dub]] of ''[[EP076|Fire and Ice]]'', {{an|Misty}} mentioned that [[Pete Pebbleman]]'s {{p|Cloyster}} is losing HP as [[Ash's Kingler]] kept hitting it with {{m|Crabhammer}}. In the original Japanese version, Misty talked about Cloyster taking damage instead.

===={{aniseries|GS}}====
In ''[[EP140|Wired For Battle!]]'', HP was shown on [[Shingo]]'s laptop where Blade's {{m|Quick Attack}} lowered {{AP|Heracross}}'s HP by half.

===={{aniseries|RS}}====
In ''[[AG111|Eight Ain't Enough]]'', [[Juan]]'s {{p|Whiscash}} used {{m|Tickle}} on [[Ash's Swellow]] which lowered Swellow's defensive strength.

In ''[[AG128|Shocks and Bonds]]'', [[Johnny]]'s {{p|Aggron}} used {{m|Harden}}, a Defense-boosting move, which defended itself against {{ho|Tyson}}'s {{p|Sceptile}}'s {{m|Solar Beam}}, a special move.

===={{aniseries|DP}}====
In ''[[DP131|Pedal to the Mettle!]]'', [[Paul]]'s {{p|Weavile}} used {{m|Swords Dance}}, an Attack-boosting move, which boosted {{m|Blizzard}}, a special move, as well as {{m|Ice Shard}} and {{m|Metal Claw}}.

===={{aniseries|BW}}====
In ''[[BW023|Battling For The Love of Bug-Types!]]'', [[Burgh]]'s {{p|Whirlipede}} used {{m|Iron Defense}} to defend itself against [[Ash's Sewaddle]]'s {{m|Bug Bite}}.

In ''[[BW104|Mission: Defeat Your Rival!]]'', {{an|Bianca}}'s {{p|Escavalier}} used Iron Defense several times to maximize its Defense.

===={{aniseries|XY}}====
Pokémon will occasionally glow red after their attack strength has changed, as exhibited by [[Korrina's Lucario]] in ''[[XY030|Mega Revelations!]]'', or blue after their defensive strength has been changed, as shown by [[Alain]]'s [[Mega Evolution|Mega]] {{TP|Alain|Charizard}} X in ''[[XYS02|Mega Evolution Special II]]'', [[Ramos]]'s {{p|Jumpluff}} in ''[[XY058|The Green, Green Grass Types of Home!]]'', and [[Ash's Pikachu]] in ''[[XY128|A Riveting Rivalry!]]''.

===={{aniseries|SM}}====
This series generally retains the added visual aids from ''Pokémon the Series: XY'', as seen as when [[Kiawe's Turtonator]] used {{m|Shell Smash}} in ''[[SM034|A Crowning Moment of Truth!]]'' and when [[Gladion's Lycanroc]] used {{m|Swords Dance}} in ''[[SM105|Showdown on Poni Island!]]''. However, in ''[[SM104|That's Some Spicy Island Research!]]'', [[Hapu's Mudsdale]] glowed red while increasing its defense with {{a|Stamina}}.

===={{aniseries|JN}}====
In ''[[JN060|Beyond Chivalry… Aiming to be a Leek Master!]]'', [[Rinto]]'s {{p|Gallade}} activated {{a|Justified}}, boosting his Attack.

In ''[[JN115|Curtain Up! Fight the Fights!]]'', {{an|Leon}}'s {{p|Rillaboom}} had its Speed boosted by its use of {{m|Max Airstream}}. In ''[[JN125|Whittle While You Work!]]'', {{an|Cynthia}}'s {{p|Togekiss}} also boosted its Speed via Max Airstream. In ''[[JN131|Paring Pokémon While Parrying!]]'', Leon's Rillaboom lowered the Speed of {{AP|Dragonite}} by using {{m|Drum Beating}}.

==={{aniseries|HZ}}===
{{incomplete|section|More examples from ''Pokémon Horizons: The Series''}}
In ''[[HZ022|Charge! Galar Mine!]]'', [[Amethio's Ceruledge]] activated its [[Hidden Ability]], {{a|Weak Armor}}, increasing its speed.

In ''[[HZ071|Encounters at the Crystal Pool]]'', [[Perrin]]'s {{p|Leafeon}} used {{m|Swords Dance}} to increase its attack power.

In ''[[HZ074|The Three Explorers]]'', [[Diana]]'s {{p|Arcanine}} activated its Hidden Ability, Justified, increasing its attack power.

In [[HZ079]], [[Geeta]]'s two {{p|Glimmora}} used {{m|Rock Polish}} to boost their speed. In the same episode, they used {{m|Memento}} to harshly lower the attack power of [[Roy's Crocalor]] and [[Dot's Quaxwell]], forcing [[Liko]], [[Roy]], and [[Dot]] to shift their battle strategy in their [[Triple Battle]] to rely on [[Liko's Floragato]].

ChocoLixo2:

{{samename|Pokémon information screen formerly known as "stats"|Summary}}
----

A '''stat''' (Japanese: '''{{ruby|能力|のうりょく}}''' ''ability'') refers to any of several parameters pertaining to {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that can affect [[priority|turn order]], [[accuracy|move success]], and [[damage|damage output]] during a [[Pokémon battle|battle]]. With exception to the [[HP|HP stat]], a Pokémon's stat can also be temporarily raised or lowered in stages during battle through various [[stat modifier|effects]]. In a large subset of these parameters, '''stats''' also refer to their measured values attributed to individual Pokémon, and they are generally raised by increasing their [[level]] or by [[evolution|evolving]]. While each species of Pokémon share the same set of [[base stats]] that determine the actual stats of a Pokémon at a given level, other properties add to the variation of stats within the species, most notably being [[individual values]], [[effort values]], and [[Nature]].

The name is short for '''statistic'''; in some cases, it has also been named '''ability''', '''rating''', '''effect''', or '''parameter'''.

==Terminology==
===Stat===
:''Not to be confused with the Pokémon's [[summary]], called "stats" in Generations I and II.''

The word "stat" (or "stats") is not used in [[Generation I]] with this meaning. The word "statistic" (or "statistics") is not used in any [[core series]] game with this meaning.

The word "stat" is used in several places from [[Generation II]] onwards. Some examples:

* The move descriptions of {{m|Haze}}, {{m|Psych Up}}, and {{m|Mist}} use "stat" or "stats" from [[Generation II]] onwards, except in some [[Generation III]] games.
* In the text displayed when {{m|Haze}} is used in Generation II: "All stat changes were eliminated!"
* In the text displayed when {{m|Psych Up}} is used in Generation II: "<user> copied the stat changes of <target>!"
* The [[Trainer Tips]] from {{rt|36|Johto}} in [[Generation II]]: "{{ScPkmn}} stats vary--even within the same [[Pokémon (species)|species]]. Their stats may be similar at first. However, differences will become pronounced as the {{ScPkmn}} grow."
* According to [[Pryce]] in Generation II, the Glacier Badge raises the "<sc>Special</sc> stats of {{ScPkmn}}".
* Some dialogue in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} uses "stat", replacing "ability" from the Generation I dialogue. For instance, an NPC in [[Lavender Town]]'s [[Poké Mart]] and two NPCs at the fifth floor of the [[Celadon Department Store]] talk about items that raise the Pokémon's stats (as opposed to "abilities" in Generation I).

===Rating===
:''Not to be confused with the [[Pokédex]] rating.''

Sometimes, the word "rating" was used up to [[Generation II]].

* In {{m|Growth}}'s description from {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}.
* In {{m|Psychic}}'s description from [[Pokémon Stadium]] and {{pkmn|Stadium 2}}.

===Effect===
In {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}, as well as [[Pokémon Colosseum]] and {{XD}}, the move {{m|Psych Up}} simply copies the target's stat changes. However, the move description states that it copies the foe's "effect(s)".

===Ability===
:''Not to be confused with the Pokémon's [[Ability]], which provides a passive effect in battle or in the overworld.''

Sometimes, the word "ability" was used up to [[Generation III]].

* In the [[Generation I]] games:

==List of stats==
===Permanent stats===
====HP====
{{main|HP}}

The '''[[HP]]''' stat (Japanese: '''HP''', symbol '''H'''), short for '''Hit Points''' (Japanese: '''{{j|ヒットポイント}}''' ''Hit Point''), determines how much [[damage]] a Pokémon can receive before [[fainting]]. In [[Pokémon GO]], it is also called '''Stamina'''.

====Attack====
The '''Attack stat''' (Japanese: '''{{ruby|攻撃能力|こうげきのうりょく}}''' ''attack ability'', symbol '''A'''), or informally '''Physical Attack''', partly determines how much damage a Pokémon deals when using a [[physical move]]. For more information on how Attack affects damage, see {{DL|Damage|Damage calculation|Damage → Damage calculation}}.

====Defense====
The '''Defense stat''' (Japanese: '''{{ruby|防御能力|ぼうぎょのうりょく}}''' ''defense ability'', symbol '''B'''), or informally '''Physical Defense''', partly determines how much damage a Pokémon receives when it is hit with a [[physical move]]. For more information on how Defense affects damage, see {{DL|Damage|Damage calculation|Damage → Damage calculation}}.

====Special====
The '''Special stat''' (Japanese: '''{{j|とくしゅのうりょく}}''' ''special ability'') is a stat that exists only in [[Generation I]].

The Special stat accounted for what is currently known as Special Attack and Special Defense, determining how much damage a Pokémon both receives and deals when [[special move]]s are used. As a result, a Pokémon could not be both strong with and weak against a Special attack, or vice versa, in the same way a Pokémon might have high Attack but low Defense. With [[Generation II]], the Special stat was split into Special Attack and Special Defense, meaning Pokémon could have different [[Base stats|base stat values]] for both, and those stats were both displayed on a Pokémon's stat screen; however, [[individual values]] and [[effort values]] remained unsplit, so that there was only a Special individual value and Special effort values, which affected both the Special Attack and Special Defense stats. Furthermore, [[Calcium]] increased both stats. In [[Generation III]], IVs and EVs were finally given both Special Attack and Special Defense values as well, and the Calcium now worked on only Special Attack while the Zinc was introduced for the Special Defense.

=====Special Attack=====
The '''Special Attack stat''' (Japanese: '''{{ruby|特攻能力|とくこうのうりょく}}''' ''special attack ability'', symbol '''C'''), or '''Sp. Atk''' and '''Spcl. Atk'''{{sup/2|GSC}}{{sup/ss|Stad2}} for short, partly determines how much damage a Pokémon deals when using a [[special move]]. For more information on how Special Attack affects damage, see {{DL|Damage|Damage calculation|Damage → Damage calculation}}.

=====Special Defense=====
The '''Special Defense stat''' (Japanese: '''{{ruby|特防能力|とくぼうのうりょく}}''' ''special defense ability'', symbol '''D'''), or '''Sp. Def''' and '''Spcl. Def'''{{sup/2|GSC}}{{sup/ss|Stad2}} for short, partly determines how much damage a Pokémon receives when it is hit with a [[special move]]. For more information on how Special Defense affects damage, see {{DL|Damage|Damage calculation|Damage → Damage calculation}}.

====Speed====
The '''Speed stat''' (Japanese: '''{{Ruby|素早|すばや}}さ{{Ruby|能力|のうりょく}}''' ''agility'', symbol '''S''') determines the order of Pokémon that can act in battle. If Pokémon are moving with the same [[priority]], Pokémon with higher Speed at the start of any turn will generally make a [[move]] before ones with lower Speed; in the case that two Pokémon have the same Speed, one of them will randomly go first. Prior to [[Generation VIII]], in-battle changes to a Pokémon's Speed stat did not start affecting turn order until the following turn; however, in [[Generation VII]], if [[Mega Evolution]] or [[Ultra Burst]] caused changes to the base Speed stat or to an [[Ability]] that affected Speed or priority, those changes took effect immediately for the upcoming turn. In Generation VIII, all speed changes take effect immediately; after every individual move, the next Pokémon to move is the fastest Pokémon that hasn't yet made its move that turn.

===In-battle stats===
====Evasion====
The '''evasion rate''' (Japanese: '''{{ruby|回避率|かいひりつ}}''' ''evasion rate''), or '''evasiveness''', of a Pokémon determines its probability of avoiding other Pokémon's moves. The initial value at the start of any battle is 100%. If a Pokémon's evasiveness is reduced below 100% with a move such as {{m|Sweet Scent}} or {{m|Defog}}, other Pokémon will have a better chance of their moves hitting. If evasiveness is increased above 100% with a move such as {{m|Double Team}}, other Pokémon will have a harder time connecting their moves.

====Accuracy====
The '''accuracy rate''' (Japanese: '''{{ruby|命中率|めいちゅうりつ}}''' ''accuracy rate'') or '''accuracy''' of a Pokémon determines its probability of hitting another Pokémon. The initial value at the start of any battle is 100%. Along with accuracy-raising moves and items, in {{Pokémon XD}}, the player can also raise a Pokémon's accuracy by one stage by using the call action, as long as the Pokémon is not {{status|sleep|asleep}} or in [[Reverse Mode]] (in which case removing the condition takes precedence over raising accuracy).

==Determination of stats==
===Base stat values===
A Pokémon's [[Base stats|base stat values]] will most often have the greatest influence over their specific stats at any level. Disregarding individual values, effort values, and [[Nature]], a level 100 Pokémon's stats in Attack, Defense, Speed, Special Attack, and Special Defense will be exactly 5 more than double its base stat values in each, while the HP stat will be 110 plus double the base stat value (except in the case of {{p|Shedinja}}, whose HP is always 1).

For a list of Pokémon by their base stat values, see the [[list of Pokémon by base stats]].

===Level===
{{main|Level}}
When a Pokémon grows a level, its stats will increase. For each level gained (ignoring Nature), stats will increase by 1/50 the base stat value, and 1/100 the combined individual value and effort value. This means that it is impossible, through leveling up, for a Pokémon to ever ''lose'' points in a stat unless it evolves into a Pokémon with a lower base stat value for that specific stat or an EV-reducing Berry is used. It is also impossible for any Pokémon other than {{p|Shedinja}} not to gain HP upon leveling up without using a Pomeg Berry ({{game|Emerald}} onward) as no evolutionary line has members with a lower base HP than the pre-evolved forms.

===Nature===
{{main|Nature}}
Most Natures enhance the growth of one stat, while hindering the growth of another. After all other calculations are finished, the stat that the Nature enhances will be 110% of what it would be without the Nature, and the stat hindered will be 90% of its normal value. The Nature boost or reduction is internally calculated by multiplying the stat after 5 is added to it by 110 if the Nature boosts the stat, 100 if the Nature doesn't affect the stat, or 90 if the Nature lowers the stat, then dividing the result by 100 and truncating the decimal.

===Individual values===
{{main|Individual values}}
Individual values cause two Pokémon of the same species to have different stats. Between generations there are different manners of determining them.

===Effort values===
{{main|Effort values}}
Effort values are what cause a trained Pokémon to have higher stats than an untrained counterpart of the same level. For every 4 EVs gained, a level 100 Pokémon will have 1 extra point in its stats. Variance of stats caused by EVs reaches a maximum of 63 points at level 100, as a Pokémon can gain a maximum of 252 EVs in a single stat.

===Go Power===
{{main|Go Power}}
Go Power are a mechanic introduced in [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], replacing {{EV}}s as the means of further raising a Pokémon's stats. A Pokémon's stat will have 1 extra point for every value of Go Power gained regardless of level, and each stat is capped at 200 values of Go Power.

===Formula===
:''See also: {{DL|Damage|Damage calculation|Damage → Damage calculation}}''
====Generations I and II====

<math>HP = \left\lfloor {\left( (Base + DV) \times 2 + \left\lfloor \tfrac{\left\lceil \sqrt{STATEXP} \right\rceil}{4} \right\rfloor \right) \times Level \over 100} \right\rfloor + Level + 10</math>

<math>OtherStat = \left\lfloor {\left( (Base + DV) \times 2 + \left\lfloor \tfrac{\left\lceil \sqrt{STATEXP} \right\rceil}{4} \right\rfloor \right) \times Level \over 100} \right\rfloor + 5</math>

Its HP can be calculated as follows:

<math>
\begin{align}
HP & = \left\lfloor {\left( (35 + 7) \times 2 + \left\lfloor \tfrac{\left\lceil \sqrt{22850} \right\rceil}{4} \right\rfloor \right) \times 81 \over 100} \right\rfloor + 81 + 10 \\
& = \left\lfloor {( 42 \times 2 + 38) \times 81 \over 100} \right\rfloor + 91 \\
& = \left\lfloor {122 \times 81 \over 100} \right\rfloor + 91 \\
& = \lfloor {98.82} \rfloor + 91 \\
& = 98 + 91 \\
& = 189
\end{align}
</math>

Its Special Attack and Special Defense stats simply rely on the Special EV and IV.

<math>
\begin{align}
SpAtk & = \left\lfloor {\left( (50 + 9) \times 2 + \left\lfloor \tfrac{\left\lceil \sqrt{19625} \right\rceil}{4} \right\rfloor \right) \times 81 \over 100} \right\rfloor + 5 \\
& = \left\lfloor {( 59 \times 2 + 35) \times 81 \over 100} \right\rfloor + 5 \\
& = \left\lfloor {153 \times 81 \over 100} \right\rfloor + 5 \\
& = \lfloor 123.93 \rfloor + 5 \\
& = 123 + 5 \\
& = 128
\end{align}
</math>

<math>
\begin{align}
SpDef & = \left\lfloor {\left( (40 + 9) \times 2 + \left\lfloor \tfrac{\left\lceil \sqrt{19625} \right\rceil}{4} \right\rfloor \right) \times 81 \over 100} \right\rfloor + 5 \\
& = \left\lfloor {( 49 \times 2 + 35) \times 81 \over 100} \right\rfloor + 5 \\
& = \left\lfloor {133 \times 81 \over 100} \right\rfloor + 5 \\
& = \lfloor 107.73 \rfloor + 5 \\
& = 107 + 5 \\
& = 112
\end{align}
</math>

Its Speed can be calculated as follows:

<math>
\begin{align}
Speed & = \left\lfloor {\left( (90 + 5) \times 2 + \left\lfloor \tfrac{\left\lceil \sqrt{24795} \right\rceil}{4} \right\rfloor \right) \times 81 \over 100} \right\rfloor + 5 \\
& = \left\lfloor {( 95 \times 2 + 39) \times 81 \over 100} \right\rfloor + 5 \\
& = \left\lfloor {229 \times 81 \over 100} \right\rfloor + 5 \\
& = \lfloor 185.49 \rfloor + 5 \\
& = 185 + 5 \\
& = 190
\end{align}
</math>

In the end, this Pikachu's stats are:

====Generation III onward====
<math>HP = \left\lfloor {(2 \times Base + IV + \left\lfloor \tfrac{EV}{4} \right\rfloor) \times Level \over 100} \right\rfloor + Level + 10</math>

<math>OtherStat = \left\lfloor \left( \left\lfloor {(2 \times Base + IV + \left\lfloor \tfrac{EV}{4} \right\rfloor) \times Level \over 100} \right\rfloor + 5 \right) \times Nature \right\rfloor</math>

These formulas mean that, aside from {{p|Shedinja}}'s HP (which is always 1), the lowest a stat can ever possibly be is 4 (or, for the HP stat, 11).

=====Example=====
Consider a Level 78 {{p|Garchomp}} with the following IVs and EVs and an '''Adamant''' [[nature]]:

{| class="roundy" style="margin:auto; text-align:center; background: #{{Dragon color dark}}; border: 5px solid #{{Dragon color}}"

| style="background:#fff" |84
| style="background:#fff" |23
| style="background:#fff; {{roundybr|5px}}" |'''510'''
|}
Its HP can be calculated as follows:

<math>
\begin{align}
HP & = \left\lfloor {(2 \times 108 + 24 + \left\lfloor \tfrac{74}{4} \right\rfloor) \times 78 \over 100} \right\rfloor + 78 + 10 \\
& = \left\lfloor {(216 + 24 + 18) \times 78 \over 100} \right\rfloor + 88 \\
& = \left\lfloor {258 \times 78 \over 100} \right\rfloor + 88 \\
& = \lfloor 201.24 \rfloor + 88 \\
& = 201 + 88 \\
& = 289
\end{align}
</math>

The Adamant nature raises Attack and lowers Special Attack. This means that when calculating the Attack stat, ''Nature'' = 1.1, and when calculating the Special Attack stat, ''Nature'' = 0.9. So this Garchomp's Attack stat will be:
<math>
\begin{align}
Attack & = \left\lfloor \left( \left\lfloor {\left(2 \times 130 + 12 + \left\lfloor \tfrac{190}{4} \right\rfloor\right) \times 78 \over 100} \right\rfloor + 5 \right) \times 1.1 \right\rfloor \\
& = \left\lfloor \left( \left\lfloor {(260 + 12 + 47) \times 78 \over 100} \right\rfloor + 5 \right) \times 1.1 \right\rfloor \\
& = \left\lfloor \left( \left\lfloor {319 \times 78 \over 100} \right\rfloor + 5 \right) \times 1.1 \right\rfloor \\
& = \left\lfloor \left(248 + 5 \right) \times 1.1 \right\rfloor & \left\lfloor \tfrac{319 \times 78}{100} \right\rfloor &= 248 \\
& = \lfloor 278.3 \rfloor & \left(248 + 5 \right) \times 1.1 &= 278.3 \\
& = 278
\end{align}
</math>

And its Special Attack stat will be:

<math>
\begin{align}
SpAtk & = \left\lfloor \left( \left\lfloor {\left( 2 \times 80 + 16 + \left\lfloor \tfrac{48}{4} \right\rfloor \right) \times 78 \over 100} \right\rfloor + 5 \right) \times 0.9 \right\rfloor \\
& = \left\lfloor \left( \left\lfloor {(160 + 16 + 12) \times 78 \over 100} \right\rfloor + 5 \right) \times 0.9 \right\rfloor \\
& = \left\lfloor \left( \left\lfloor {188 \times 78 \over 100} \right\rfloor + 5 \right) \times 0.9 \right\rfloor \\
& = \left\lfloor (146 + 5) \times 0.9 \right\rfloor & \left\lfloor \tfrac{188 \times 78}{100} \right\rfloor &= 146 \\
& = \lfloor 135.9 \rfloor & (146 + 5) \times 0.9 &= 135.9 \\
& = 135
\end{align}
</math>

Its Speed stat, on the other hand, has no ''Nature'' multiplier, so it is calculated as:

<math>
\begin{align}
Speed & = \left\lfloor \left( \left\lfloor {\left(2 \times 102 + 5 + \left\lfloor \tfrac{23}{4} \right\rfloor \right) \times 78 \over 100} \right\rfloor + 5 \right) \times 1 \right\rfloor \\
& = \left\lfloor {(204 + 5 + 5) \times 78 \over 100} \right\rfloor + 5\\
& = \left\lfloor {214 \times 78 \over 100} \right\rfloor + 5 \\
& = \lfloor 166.92 \rfloor + 5 \\
& = 166+5 \\
& = 171
\end{align}
</math>

In the end, this Garchomp's stats are as follows:

{| class="roundy" style="margin:auto; text-align:center; background: #{{Dragon color dark}}; border: 5px solid #{{Dragon color}}"

====[[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]]====
In Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!, effort values have been replaced with [[Go Power]], which are flat stat boosts added to the total after all other calculations have been made. Additionally, all non-HP stats can receive a slight boost that scales with [[friendship]]. Stats are now updated simultaneously with any changes to the variables, rather than after a Pokémon has leveled up.

The Go Power bonus can range anywhere between 0 and 200 for all stats, and a Pokémon can have all six stats maxed out to 200 values of Go Power each. The friendship multiplier can range between 1 and 1.1, scaling directly with the Pokémon's level of friendship <math display="inline">\left(1 + \dfrac{\left\lfloor \tfrac{10 \times friendship}{255} \right\rfloor}{100} \right)</math>.

<math>
\begin{align}
HP &= \left\lfloor {(2 \times Base + IV) \times Level \over 100} \right\rfloor + Level + 10 + AV \\
OtherStat &= \left\lfloor \left( {(2 \times Base + IV) \times Level \over 100} + 5 \right) \times Nature \times Friendship \right\rfloor + AV
\end{align}
</math>

====[[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]]====
In Pokémon Legends: Arceus, a Pokémon's stats are calculated using [[effort level]]s, replacing the mechanics around {{EV}}s and {{IV}}s. IVs are still present, but that is only used to determine a Pokémon's starting effort level in each stat, up to three effort levels; beyond this, IVs have no effect on stats.

<math>
\begin{align}
HP &= \left\lfloor \left(\tfrac{Level}{100} + 1 \right) \times Base + Level \right\rfloor + ELB \\
OtherStat &= \left\lfloor \left\lfloor \frac{\left(\tfrac{Level}{50}+1\right) \times Base}{1.5} \right\rfloor \times Nature \right\rfloor + ELB
\\\\
ELB &= \operatorname{round} \left(\frac{ \sqrt{Base} \times Multiplier + Level}{2.5}\right)
\end{align}
</math>

where:
* ''Base'' is the Pokémon species' base value for that stat
* ''Level'' is the Pokémon's level
* ''Nature'' is 0.9 if the Pokémon has a hindering Nature, 1.1 if it has a helpful Nature, and 1 otherwise.
* ''ELB'' is the effort level bonus, directly added to the Pokémon's stat. The result is rounded to the nearest integer.
** ''Multiplier'' is the effort level multiplier, which is determined from the effort level as follows:
::{| style="{{roundy|10px}}; border: 3px solid #{{legends arceus color dark}}; background: #{{legends arceus color}}; text-align: center"
|- style="background: #{{legends arceus color light}}"

===In battle===
In battle, additional [[#Stat modifiers|modifiers]] can further alter the effective value of a stat. This is not reflected in visible stats, but instead is only accounted for when [[damage]] is done.

====Accuracy and evasion====
Accuracy and evasion are not visible anywhere as explicit stats, but they influence the probability of a move hitting. The nuances of this calculation differ between games. [[:Category:Moves that cannot miss|Some moves]] ignore accuracy checks.

=====Generations I and II=====
Whether a move hits depends on the formula:

<math>T = Accuracy_{move} \times Accuracy_{user} \times Evasion_{target} - BrightPowder</math>, where:
* ''T'' is the computed threshold value that will determine whether the move will hit, always at least 1 and at most 255,
* ''Accuracymove'' is the move's [[accuracy]], a value from 0 to 255,
* ''Accuracyuser'' is the accuracy [[Stat modifier#Stage multipliers|stage multiplier]] of the user,
* ''Evasiontarget'' is the evasion stage multiplier of the target, and
* ''BrightPowder'' is 20 if the user is [[held item|holding]] [[Bright Powder|BrightPowder]] (in Generation II) or 0 otherwise.

The game then selects a random number ''r'' from 0 to 255 and compares it to ''T'' to determine whether the move hits.

In Generation I, if ''r'' is less than ''T'', the move hits. This results in a bug where no move can be guaranteed to hit (excluding {{m|Bide}} and {{m|Swift}}) since even if ''T'' is 255, if ''r'' is also 255, the move will miss.

In Generation II, if ''T'' is 255 or if ''r'' is less than ''T'', the move hits. This eliminates the bug from Generation I.

=====Generations III onward=====
Whether a move hits depends on the formula:

<math>T= Accuracy_{move} \times StageMultiplier \times Other</math>, where:
* ''T'' is the computed threshold value that will determine whether the move will hit,
* ''Accuracymove'' is the move's [[accuracy]], a value from 1 to 100,
* ''StageMultiplier'' is the equivalent accuracy [[Stat modifier#Stage multipliers|stage multiplier]] of the user after the target's evasion stage is subtracted from the user's accuracy stage, both possibly modified by Ability or move effects such as {{a|Simple}} or {{m|Foresight}} (to no less than -6 and no more than 6 after the subtraction), and
* ''Other'' encompasses all multipliers from other accuracy or evasion modifiers from Ability effects, [[fog]], move effects, and item effects (as can be seen in [[Stat_modifier#In-battle_modification|this table]]), serially applied.

The game then selects a random number ''r'' from 1 to 100 and compares it to ''T'' to determine whether the move hits. If ''r'' is less than or equal to ''T'', the move hits.

===Combat Power===
'''Combat Power''' (Japanese: '''コンバットパワー''' ''Combat Power'', formerly '''{{ruby|総合的|そうごうてき}}な{{ruby|強|つよ}}さ''' ''Total Power''<ref>[https://pokemongolive.com/ja/post/cp_update/ 「ポケモンのCPのバランスを調整しました」 – Pokémon GO]</ref>), or '''CP''' (Japanese: '''{{j|CP}}'''), is a value first introduced in [[Pokémon GO]] and carried over to [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], used to roughly summarize a Pokémon's overall potential in battle. In Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!, it's based on the total of all a Pokémon's stats and {{AV}}s. Note that CP is not an actual statistic but rather a visual indicator of a Pokémon's overall strength, so it does not have any direct effect in battles.

<math>CP = \min \left(\left\lfloor \left( \sum Stats - \sum GoPower \right)\ \times { Level \times 6 \over 100} + \sum GoPower \times \left( \frac{Level \times 4}{100} + 2 \right) \right\rfloor , 10000 \right)</math>

The CP of any Pokémon in Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee! is always capped at 10,000; even if a Pokémon's stat continues to grow after that, the CP will still show as 10,000.

The lowest possible CP is 2. This is possible if a level 1 {{p|Caterpie}} transferred from Pokémon GO has minimum [[friendship]], 0 IVs and 0 values of Go Power in every stat.

==Stat modifiers==
{{main|Stat modifier}}
When a stat is used in a calculation in battle, a number of modifiers may be applied during the calculation. During a battle, a Pokémon's effective stats may be raised or lowered by certain [[move]]s, [[Ability|Abilities]], and [[held items]]. Some attacks may only have a chance of raising or lowering stats, while certain Abilities and held items may require a triggering event to activate any stat modifications.

==In other games==
===Mystery Dungeon series===
{{main|Stat (Mystery Dungeon)}}

In the [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series]], Pokémon have HP, Attack, Defense, Special Attack, Special Defense, and [[#Speed 2|Speed]]{{sup/md|SMD}}{{sup/md|DX}} stats, just like in the core games. However, these games also have a few stats not seen in the core games.

===Pokémon Conquest===
{{main|Stat (Conquest)}}

In [[Pokémon Conquest]], Pokémon have HP, Range, Attack, Defense, and Speed stats, as well as a non-numeric Energy stat, and a derived stat called Strength.

===Pokémon GO===
{{main|Stat (GO)}} {{anchor|CP}}
Pokémon in [[Pokémon GO]] have '''HP''', '''Attack''', and '''Defense''' stats, as well as a derived stat, '''CP'''. Pokémon GO makes no distinction between physical or special damage like the core games do; instead, all {{GO|move|attack}}s simply use Attack and Defense to calculate damage. Of the four stats in Pokémon GO, however, only HP and CP are directly visible.

===Pokémon: Magikarp Jump===
===={{anchor|JP|Jump Power}}====
{{incomplete|section|needs=JP required per level, image}}
'''Jump Power''' (Japanese: '''はねる{{ruby|力|ちから}}''' ''Jump Power''), or '''JP''' (Japanese: '''{{j|CP}}'''), is a stat that indicates a {{p|Magikarp}}'s ability to jump in [[Pokémon: Magikarp Jump]]. Jump Power is also used in place of [[experience]] to determine when a Magikarp levels up. JP can still be earned even after reaching the maximum level of 100, with the absolute maximum JP capped at 12,900,605,640,709<ref>[https://automaton-media.com/en/news/20210513-765/ Pokémon: Magikarp Jump player reaches maximum Jump Power at 12,900,605,640,709 - Automaton Media]</ref> (shortened to 12.9T).

As the Jump Power becomes larger and larger, it will be measured with the help of {{wp|SI prefix}}es.

==In animation==
===''Pokémon the Series''===
[[File:Ash Dragonite Dragon Dance.png|thumb|250px|[[Ash's Dragonite]] raising its attack power and speed with {{m|Dragon Dance}}]]
Stats in {{aniseries|PTS}} appear to leave out the Special and Physical concept. It is more dependent on attack power and the amount of [[damage]] inflicted instead of Attack and Special Attack, and endurance rather than Special Defense and Defense.

===={{aniseries|OS}}====
In the [[dub]] of ''[[EP076|Fire and Ice]]'', {{an|Misty}} mentioned that [[Pete Pebbleman]]'s {{p|Cloyster}} is losing HP as [[Ash's Kingler]] kept hitting it with {{m|Crabhammer}}. In the original Japanese version, Misty talked about Cloyster taking damage instead.

===={{aniseries|GS}}====
In ''[[EP140|Wired For Battle!]]'', HP was shown on [[Shingo]]'s laptop where Blade's {{m|Quick Attack}} lowered {{AP|Heracross}}'s HP by half.

===={{aniseries|RS}}====
In ''[[AG111|Eight Ain't Enough]]'', [[Juan]]'s {{p|Whiscash}} used {{m|Tickle}} on [[Ash's Swellow]] which lowered Swellow's defensive strength.

In ''[[AG128|Shocks and Bonds]]'', [[Johnny]]'s {{p|Aggron}} used {{m|Harden}}, a Defense-boosting move, which defended itself against {{ho|Tyson}}'s {{p|Sceptile}}'s {{m|Solar Beam}}, a special move.

===={{aniseries|DP}}====
In ''[[DP131|Pedal to the Mettle!]]'', [[Paul]]'s {{p|Weavile}} used {{m|Swords Dance}}, an Attack-boosting move, which boosted {{m|Blizzard}}, a special move, as well as {{m|Ice Shard}} and {{m|Metal Claw}}.

===={{aniseries|BW}}====
In ''[[BW023|Battling For The Love of Bug-Types!]]'', [[Burgh]]'s {{p|Whirlipede}} used {{m|Iron Defense}} to defend itself against [[Ash's Sewaddle]]'s {{m|Bug Bite}}.

In ''[[BW104|Mission: Defeat Your Rival!]]'', {{an|Bianca}}'s {{p|Escavalier}} used Iron Defense several times to maximize its Defense.

===={{aniseries|XY}}====
Pokémon will occasionally glow red after their attack strength has changed, as exhibited by [[Korrina's Lucario]] in ''[[XY030|Mega Revelations!]]'', or blue after their defensive strength has been changed, as shown by [[Alain]]'s [[Mega Evolution|Mega]] {{TP|Alain|Charizard}} X in ''[[XYS02|Mega Evolution Special II]]'', [[Ramos]]'s {{p|Jumpluff}} in ''[[XY058|The Green, Green Grass Types of Home!]]'', and [[Ash's Pikachu]] in ''[[XY128|A Riveting Rivalry!]]''.

===={{aniseries|SM}}====
This series generally retains the added visual aids from ''Pokémon the Series: XY'', as seen as when [[Kiawe's Turtonator]] used {{m|Shell Smash}} in ''[[SM034|A Crowning Moment of Truth!]]'' and when [[Gladion's Lycanroc]] used {{m|Swords Dance}} in ''[[SM105|Showdown on Poni Island!]]''. However, in ''[[SM104|That's Some Spicy Island Research!]]'', [[Hapu's Mudsdale]] glowed red while increasing its defense with {{a|Stamina}}.

===={{aniseries|JN}}====
In ''[[JN060|Beyond Chivalry… Aiming to be a Leek Master!]]'', [[Rinto]]'s {{p|Gallade}} activated {{a|Justified}}, boosting his Attack.

In ''[[JN115|Curtain Up! Fight the Fights!]]'', {{an|Leon}}'s {{p|Rillaboom}} had its Speed boosted by its use of {{m|Max Airstream}}. In ''[[JN125|Whittle While You Work!]]'', {{an|Cynthia}}'s {{p|Togekiss}} also boosted its Speed via Max Airstream. In ''[[JN131|Paring Pokémon While Parrying!]]'', Leon's Rillaboom lowered the Speed of {{AP|Dragonite}} by using {{m|Drum Beating}}.

==={{aniseries|HZ}}===
{{incomplete|section|More examples from ''Pokémon Horizons: The Series''}}
In ''[[HZ022|Charge! Galar Mine!]]'', [[Amethio's Ceruledge]] activated its [[Hidden Ability]], {{a|Weak Armor}}, increasing its speed.

In ''[[HZ071|Encounters at the Crystal Pool]]'', [[Perrin]]'s {{p|Leafeon}} used {{m|Swords Dance}} to increase its attack power.

In ''[[HZ074|The Three Explorers]]'', [[Diana]]'s {{p|Arcanine}} activated its Hidden Ability, Justified, increasing its attack power.

In [[HZ079]], [[Geeta]]'s two {{p|Glimmora}} used {{m|Rock Polish}} to boost their speed. In the same episode, they used {{m|Memento}} to harshly lower the attack power of [[Roy's Crocalor]] and [[Dot's Quaxwell]], forcing [[Liko]], [[Roy]], and [[Dot]] to shift their battle strategy in their [[Triple Battle]] to rely on [[Liko's Floragato]].

[[File:Save Pokémon Sword.png|thumb|Saving in [[Pokémon Sword and Shield|Pokémon Sword]]]]
A '''save file''' or simply '''save''' is an important feature in the [[Pokémon games]], which allows the player to resume their game from where they left off the last time it was played.

Save files can become corrupted due to various factors such as abrupt interruption during the process (loss of power, removal of cartridge), [[cheating]], abusing certain [[glitches]], or physical damage. Dirt or incorrectly inserted cartridges can also prevent the save file from being read correctly.

==In the core series games==
===Mechanics===
{{incomplete|section|Were backup saves actually removed in Generations VI and VII? Verify if Generation V has a message for half save data corruption like in Generation III and IV.}}
In the [[core series]] games, players create or overwrite the save file by accessing the relevant entry in the [[menu]]. In the Japanese versions, saving is presented as a '''{{j|ポケモンレポート}}''' ''Pokémon Report'' or '''{{j|レポート}}''' ''report'' for short that is written down in a notebook, although there are occasional references to "saving" as such. As a result, the save entry has been usually accompanied by a book icon since [[Generation IV]].

The save file is stored in battery-powered {{wp|static random-access memory}} in [[Generation I|Generations I]] and {{gen|II}} or in {{wp|flash memory}} with {{wp|encryption}} from [[Generation III]] onwards. Beginning with {{LGPE}}, save files are stored in the console's internal memory and not in the cartridge. Saving the game is required when using [[:#Mandated saving|certain in-game features]].

Prior to [[Generation VI]], a [[new game]] can be started even if there is already a save file. Before Generation IV, a new game also allows overwriting a previous save file. From Generations IV up to VI, as a precaution against unwanted loss of data, the games inform the player that the current save file must be first manually deleted by pressing the relevant button combination on the [[title screen]] ('''↑ + SELECT + B''' before Generation VI or '''↑ + X + B''' after Generation VI). The ability to delete a save file is no longer included as of Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee! due to the {{wp|Nintendo Switch system software}} having the ability to manage save data.

Due to the usage of {{wp|checksum}}s, if a save file experiences corruption, the game reports this situation when trying to load it from the main menu, and blocks continuing the game in Generation II or treats it as non-existent in others, thus forcing the player to start a new game. Starting in Generation II, partial backups are stored, with Generation III upgrading them to full backups. In [[Generation VIII|Generations VIII]] and {{gen|IX}}, by pressing a specific button combination on the title screen, players can choose to load a backup save file, while in Generations III, IV, and V, the backup saves are automatically loaded, with Generations III and IV notifying the player that this is being done.

Save files of paired versions are compatible with each other. In Generations I and II, save files of English and European versions are also compatible with each other. Starting in Generation III, save files are compatible with all languages.

[https://en-americas-support.nintendo.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/41213 Save Data Cloud Backups] are disabled for [[Pokémon games]].

Several games have [[cloning glitches]] that can be exploited via save files.

In version 1.0 of {{g|X and Y}}, the [[Lumiose City save glitch]] causes the game to stop responding when a save is loaded in affected areas of the city. [[Nintendo]] acknowledged the existence of this issue and [[Game Freak]] subsequently included a patch in version 1.1.

===Process===
====Generation I====
The saving process is usually performed in a single step.

In the Japanese versions, the message of progress only appears in {{game|Yellow}} and matches the one later used in {{game|Gold and Silver|s}} and {{game|Crystal}}. In {{game|Red and Green|s}} and {{game|Blue| (Japanese)}}, the process is instantaneous.

If the player attempts to save after a new game with a save file already present, there is a second confirmation step. Due to a bug, this confirmation is requested in Pokémon Red and Green even if no save file is available.

According to [[Junichi Masuda]], the sound effect played after saving the game differs between the four versions.<ref>[https://glitterberri.com/staff-secrets/ Part of TCRF admin GlitterBerri's translation of the Japanese Nintendo Online Magazine's interview with Game Freak from July 2000] (originally found [https://web.archive.org/web/20230407163056/https://www.nintendo.co.jp/nom/0007/gfreak/page06.html on Nintendo's website])</ref>

====Generation II====
The saving process is now always executed in two steps with the exception of the player's very first save. Additionally, the message of progress warns the player to not turn off the power.

Unlike in later games, a backup is loaded without any information being provided to the player.

====Generation III====
{{incomplete|section|Do non-English European versions inaccurately refer to the internal battery as well?}}
[[File:PKMN_RS-ENG_save-backup_text_bug_v1.0.png|thumb|Backup memory text window bug in English Ruby and Sapphire v1.0]]
[[File:PKMN_RS-ENG_save-backup_text_v1.1-1.2.png|thumb|Backup memory text window in English Ruby and Sapphire v1.1 and v1.2]]
The player is now made aware when a backup is loaded.

Whenever backup memory is damaged or worn out, the game tries to correct the issue a few times by itself; if all attempts fail, it warns the player that it can still be played but that any progress will not be saved. The English versions mistakenly suggest that the internal battery may have run dry, but save files do not actually rely on the battery at all. After three attempts, the message below is shown even if the game successfully saved the game. Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald versions return the player to the title screen after the check is finished, while FireRed and LeafGreen versions do not.

|-
! style="background:#{{locationcolor/light|building}}; {{roundybottom|5px}}; height: 5px" colspan=3 |
|}

In the 1.0 release of the English versions of {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}, a bug causes the window for the aforementioned message to be displayed with a corrupted background and appear too low on the screen since its height was not updated from the Japanese versions. This was fixed in the 1.1 release.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20200802035606/https://forums.glitchcity.info/index.php?topic=7211.0 Archived copy of the Glitch City Laboratories Forums thread about the differences in the English revisions]</ref> An additional issue with the text not being properly cleared when the window is scrolled persists, but it was not carried over to the non-English European localizations.

In the Japanese 1.0 and 1.1 as well as English 1.0 releases of {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, a check in the code that freezes the game on a white screen if the backup memory is not detected is absent, exposing additional checks that would otherwise go unused and are nonetheless present in all Generation III games.

====Generation IV====
Due to how the save encryption and decryption process works in this [[generation]], the game will mention that it is saving "a lot of data" if the player accesses the [[Pokémon Storage System]] directly or indirectly (such as when capturing a {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} and sending it automatically to a Box){{sup/4|DPPt}} / major changes are performed to the Pokémon Storage System{{sup/4|HGSS}}, after a [[Global Trade System]] trade, or when saving for the first time after a backup is loaded or a new game and there is no save file already present.

[[Pokéwalker]] data is also stored in the save file.

====Generation V====
The process is performed in only one step and the older messages of progress were replaced by a {{wp|progress bar}}. The saving process appears to take longer as more and more data is corrupted.

The player only has eight Boxes available in the Pokémon Storage System until each one of the eight has at least one Pokémon in it, avoiding the need to encrypt empty Box data. If major changes are made to the Pokémon Storage System after all the Boxes are available, the game will still save "a lot of data" like in Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver.

====Generation VI====
The progress bar has been removed. If the player is online and has Auto Sync enabled with a [[Pokémon Trainer Club]] account, saving will take significantly longer while the data syncs.

{{DL|Vs. Recorder|Battle Videos}} and the player's uncollected [[StreetPass]] tags are saved to the {{wp|SD card}} (separately from the save file of downloaded copies of the core series games), even when playing using a game card, and are not deleted when the save file is. This data is shared between Pokémon X and Y or {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}} and is separate for each pair of games.

====Generation VII====
====={{pkmn|Sun and Moon|Pokémon Sun, Moon}}, {{pkmn|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon}}=====
In Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon, the save entry in the main menu is separated from the other entries and can be activated by pressing the Y button.

=====[[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]]=====
There is no longer a limit of one save file per cartridge or downloaded copy, although each user profile is still limited to only one save file per console. Using the features of the Nintendo Switch system software, save files can be transferred, but not copied, from one console to another.

====Generation VIII====
The saving process is similar to that of Pokémon Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee! and a toggleable autosave feature was introduced in {{g|Sword and Shield}}.

====Generation IX====
Unlike in Generation VIII, autosave now occurs after the end of an encounter, healing at a Pokémon Center, and after cutscenes.

===Mandated saving===
{{incomplete|section|Scarlet & Violet.}}
This is a list of activities which require saving in order to use them in the core series games. In some games, it is possible to disable to requirement to save in the options, such as [[Player Search System]] {{pkmn|battle}}s. Activities that trigger saving automatically will not prompt the player to overwrite the old save file.

==In spin-off games==
===Pokémon Colosseum and Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness===
{{Spading|This section|Verify if the invalidation check known to occur in Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness occurs in Pokémon Colosseum.}}
{{g|Colosseum}} and {{g|XD: Gale of Darkness}} store save data on a [[Nintendo GameCube]] Memory Card. Players are prevented from saving the game if a save file on the Memory Card was not loaded or created when starting the game. To prevent cloning Pokémon, the player can only save to the Memory Card which was inserted when entering the mode selection screen. Attempting to save to a different Memory Card than was first inserted will result in an error message appearing and the game refusing to save the game. Additionally, the functionality to copy or move the game save data is disabled for both games.

Pokémon Colosseum requires the player to use the [[PC]] for saving. In Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness, the player can save anywhere from the menu (there is no save option in PCs).

Pokémon Colosseum requires 48 blocks to save the game, while Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness requires only 43 blocks to save.

Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness will register a save as corrupted if the previous saved game has greater play time than the one it is being overwritten with.

===Pokémon Trozei!===
[[Pokémon Trozei!]] automatically saves at various points.

====Mechanics====
Pokémon Trozei! stores backups of saves. If one of the two save files are corrupted, the game uses the other save file with a warning that the save data is damaged. If both are corrupted, the game deletes the save data, and states that the save data is corrupted and must be initialized.

===Pokémon Ranger series===
In {{vg|Pokémon Ranger}}, {{g|Ranger: Shadows of Almia}}, and {{g|Ranger: Guardian Signs}}, the save file may be written using terminals known as save machines. Save machines are typically located in [[Ranger Base]]s and [[Ranger Depot]]s, although there are many located in areas all over the [[Fiore]], [[Almia]] and [[Oblivia]] [[region]]s, both indoors and outdoors.

When no save machine is available, players may use a "quick save" feature, which temporarily saves their progress if they are unable to reach a save machine. Quick save data is deleted when loaded, whereas progress saved via save machines is stored permanently.

In many [[Ranger Net]] missions, attempts to using a save machine will yield the notice that it is out of service.

====Mechanics====
If {{vg|Pokémon Ranger}} detects save data corruption, the game will erase the save data then show an error message stating that the save data is corrupted and will be deleted as a result.

===Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series===
In {{g|Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team}}, {{g|Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness}} and {{g|Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky}}, the player can only save in their bed, at [[Kangaskhan Rock]]s, and at the [[Treasure Town#Crossroads|well at the crossroads]]{{sup/md|S}}, and will be asked if they want to save each time they come back from an adventure after waking up.

Starting in {{g|Mystery Dungeon: Gates to Infinity}}, the player can save anywhere outside a dungeon from the menu. Quicksaving within dungeons is not possible in Companion Mode.

Prior to {{g|Super Mystery Dungeon}}, it is not possible to save inside dungeons, but it is possible to quicksave. Quicksaving creates a temporary save file and immediately returns the player to the [[main menu]]. Resuming the adventure deletes the temporary save file. If the player turns off the game in a dungeon without creating another quicksave, when reloading the save they will be ejected from the dungeon as if they had given up on the adventure, and will lose all items in their [[Bag]] and all [[Poké]] that they had on-hand. In {{g|Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team}}, the location will be marked as "Quicksave data deleted."

In Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon, quicksaving no longer exists; instead, the [[Progress Device]] can be used to create a Progress Point, which allows the player to save in a dungeon.

In {{g|Mystery Dungeon: Rescue Team DX}}, the game autosaves.

====Mechanics====
{{incomplete|section|Verify if backup saves exist in other Pokémon Mystery Dungeon games. Verify if Explorers of Sky functionality matches Explorers of Time and Darkness.}}
{{g|Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team}} and {{g|Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky}} store backups of saves. If one of the two save files are corrupted, the game uses the other save file with no notice. If both are corrupted, an error message appears stating the game data is corrupted and will be erased in {{g|Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team}}, or a message stating that the corrupted saved game data is being deleted, then another stating it has been deleted after the process completes in {{g|Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky}}. Unlike the main series games, the save data is actually erased after the message appears. If no save data is detected or the existing save data is corrupted in {{g|Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team}}, the cutscene before the title screen is not skippable.

===Pokémon Conquest===
Saving the game in {{g|Conquest}} can be done at any point in gameplay in which the player can open the menu. This allows the player to permanently save their game in the middle of battle, unlike most other games in the series.

To delete the save file in Pokémon Conquest, the '''A''', '''B''', '''X''', and '''Y''' buttons have to be pressed and held simultaneously on the company logo screen (before the title screen).

===Pokémon Trading Card Game series===
In {{vg|Pokémon Trading Card Game}} and {{g|Trading Card Game 2: The Invasion of Team GR!}}, the player saves using the '''Diary''' (Japanese: '''{{j|にっき}}''' ''Diary'') command from the menu. Saving takes a significantly short amount of time, compared to the [[core series]] games of the first few generations.

When the player chooses "Diary", both games ask for confirmation before saving:

:"Would you like to keep a Diary?"
:'''Yes''': "<Player name> wrote in the Diary."
:'''No''': "Nothing was recorded in the Diary."

Both games automatically save the progress of the current card duel, without warning. If the player turns off either game during a duel, the player will be able to either resume the duel later or return from the last save point as usual. If the player chooses the latter, the duel progress data will be deleted.

In both games, if the player wishes to start a new game but there is already a saved game, the player will be required to erase the old data before playing the new game.

Player settings are automatically saved. (such as text speed, duel animation settings, and choice of language in European versions)

===Pokémon Pinball series===
In {{g|Pinball}} and {{g|Pinball: Ruby & Sapphire}}, the [[Pokédex]] information (captured and seen Pokémon), records and options are saved automatically. The player may stop playing at any point by creating a temporary save file, which is deleted when the player resumes playing or starts a new game.

Cry

{{samename|{{type|Normal}} [[move]] whose Japanese name can be translated as "Cry"|Growl (move)}}

[[File:Regigigas cry.png|frame|The cry of {{p|Regigigas}}, as seen in the [[Pokédex]] in {{game|Platinum}}.]]
A Pokémon's '''cry''' (Japanese: '''{{ruby|鳴|な}}き{{ruby|声|ごえ}}''' ''voice'') is the sound it makes. Depending on the continuity, this can either be a unique sound, or only the Pokémon's name and various phrases derived from its name. There are also several instances of [[talking Pokémon]].

==In the core series games==
A Pokémon's cry usually consists of an electronic noise. Pokémon related by [[Evolution]] (e.g. {{p|Charmander}} and {{p|Charmeleon}}) and association (e.g. {{p|Pansage}}, {{p|Pansear}}, and {{p|Panpour}}) will often have notably similar cries, though others may sound very different (e.g. {{p|Remoraid}} and {{p|Octillery}}), especially if from different [[generation]]s (e.g. {{p|Kirlia}} and {{p|Gallade}}).

When Pokémon undergo [[Mega Evolution]] or [[Primal Reversion]], their cry is altered, sometimes dramatically. Many alternate [[form]]s — such as those of {{p|Shaymin}}, {{p|Kyurem}}, and the [[forces of nature]] — also have different cries.

===Composition===
In Generation I and II, there are a small number of base cries which are shared by multiple Pokémon, but distinguished by differences in pitch, speed, echo, or disabling one of the sound channels. In Generation I there are 38 base cries,<ref name="RedCries">[https://github.com/pret/pokecrystal/blob/master/data/pokemon/cries.asm data/pokemon/cries.asm at master • pret/pokered (Disassembly of Pokémon Red)]</ref> while in Generation II there are 68.<ref name="CrystalCries">[https://github.com/pret/pokered/blob/master/data/pokemon/cries.asm data/pokemon/cries.asm at master • pret/pokecrystal (Disassembly of Pokémon Crystal)]</ref><ref name="CrystalCryConsts">[https://github.com/pret/pokecrystal/blob/master/constants/cry_constants.asm constants/cry_constants.asm at master • pret/pokecrystal (Disassembly of Pokémon Crystal)]</ref> Almost all Generation II Pokémon use one of the 30 new base cries, with only {{p|Crobat}} and {{p|Umbreon}} using an old base cry, both of which evolve from Generation I Pokémon. For example, {{p|Charmander}} and {{p|Charmeleon}}'s base cries are the same, but Charmeleon's is lower-pitched. Likewise, Metapod and Abra have the same base cry, but Metapod's only plays one sound channel.

Below is a list of Pokémon by base cry in Generations I and II.<ref name="RedCries"/><ref name="CrystalCries"/><ref name="CrystalCryConsts"/>

In the {{g|Stadium series}}, many original cries were remade through the [[Nintendo 64]]'s technology. Although most of them resemble the Game Boy versions closely, some Pokémon were given special cries that closely resemble actual animals, or are a combination of the two. This was not carried over into later console games, which use the same cries as the handheld games.

Starting in [[Generation III]], newly introduced Pokémon rarely have similar cries to other Pokémon, and those that do are usually related to each other (typically via [[Evolution]]). While cries for Pokémon from Generations I to III are largely variations of electronic beeps, cries introduced since [[Generation IV]] are mostly recognizable, digitized sounds, such as birds chirping for {{p|Starly}} or a xylophone for {{p|Kricketot}}.

For unknown reasons, in the Generation III games the cries are actually played at 0.9× the speed of the original samples. Starting in {{g|X and Y}}, the cries of most Pokémon from previous generations were updated. The cries of some Pokémon — such as {{p|Raichu}}, {{p|Corphish}}, and {{p|Shiftry}} — are dramatically different.

The [[Ultra Beast]]s and [[Paradox Pokémon]] both have sound effects at the end of their cry that stay consistent through their group (with the exceptions of {{p|Koraidon}} and {{p|Miraidon}}), with the Ultra Beasts having a mechanical whine, the past Paradox Pokémon having a booming sound, and the future Paradox Pokémon having a whirring sound often associated with hacking or binary code.

====Identical and near-identical cries====
Due to the Generation I games constructing cries by applying different effects to a small pool of base cries, many Generation I Pokémon had extremely similar cries.<ref name="RedCries"/> These cries were carried forward to later generations, even as newer Pokémon received more detailed cries. Starting in [[Generation VI]], many older Pokémon cries were replaced, and these cries are no longer as similar as the used to be.

Two pairs of Pokémon had identical cries:
* {{p|Charizard}} and {{p|Rhyhorn}}
* {{p|Poliwag}} and {{p|Ditto}}

Four pairs of Pokémon had near-identical cries:
* {{p|Caterpie}}'s cry was slightly shorter than {{p|Goldeen}}'s, by 0.071 seconds.
* {{p|Wigglytuff}}'s cry was slightly lower-pitched and longer than {{p|Poliwhirl}}'s, by 0.006 seconds.
* {{p|Vileplume}}'s cry was slightly higher-pitched and longer than {{p|Aerodactyl}}'s, by 0.059 seconds.
* {{p|Machop}}'s cry was slightly lower-pitched and shorter than {{p|Omanyte}}'s, by 0.002 seconds.

===Pikachu's cry===
Although {{p|Pikachu}} has a traditional cry, in some games, it has been given special cries, matching its appearances in {{pkmn|animation}} as [[Voice acting in the Pokémon games|voiced]] by [[Ikue Otani]]. This makes it the only Pokémon to have multiple cries without changing forms.

The {{OBP|Pikachu|Yellow}} received at the beginning of {{game|Yellow}} has a total of forty cries, though only two occur in battle. Like in ''[[Pokémon the Series]]'', all are variations of its name and voiced by Ikue Otani.<ref>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LNV4P3DFPps Pikachu's 40 cries in Yellow</ref> Because the [[Game Boy]] lacks high-quality sound, Game Freak had to think of different ways to recreate Pikachu's cry. [[Junichi Masuda]] converted the sound into one-bit data, recreating the sound of Otani's voice.<ref>[http://www.gamefreak.co.jp/blog/dir_english/?p=144 Game Freak blog]</ref> However, Pikachu's [[Pokédex]] entry uses the regular chiptune cry like in earlier games, instead of Ikue Otani's vocalization. A non-[[Original Trainer|OT]] Pikachu (traded from other games or received in events) uses the chiptune cry as well.

In the [[Pokémon Stadium (Japanese)|Japanese Pokémon Stadium]], the Pikachu from Pokémon Yellow is treated like any other Pokémon. When either the [[Pokémon Stadium|English Pokémon Stadium]] or [[Pokémon Stadium 2]] is connected with Pokémon Yellow, Pikachu speaks by saying its own name, [[Voice acting in the Pokémon games|voiced]] by [[Ikue Otani]] (unlike the electronic noise [[cry]] of other Pikachu).

The feature returned in {{g|X and Y}} with all-new voice recordings. In these games, Pikachu has 15 cries. Two of these cries occur in battle, one is heard when viewing its status screen or Pokédex entry, and the rest appear in [[Pokémon-Amie]]. This was retained in [[Pokémon HOME]] and in later [[core series]] games until {{g|Legends: Arceus}}.

===Eevee's cry===
In [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!|Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], {{P|Eevee}} was given special cries voiced by [[Aoi Yūki]]. This was also retained in [[Pokémon Sword and Shield|Sword, Shield]], [[Pokémon HOME|HOME]], and [[Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl]] (if the [[DS Sounds]] is not used), and changed back from {{g|Legends: Arceus}} onwards.

===Pokémon cry usage===
{{incomplete|section|Check if the Pokémon cry is heard anywhere else}}
A Pokémon's cry is heard in several situations:
* When a Pokémon is sent out into {{pkmn|battle}}.
* When a Pokémon [[faint]]s.
** In [[Generation]]s {{gen|I}} and {{gen|II}}, there is no Pokémon cry when the opposing Pokémon faints. However, in Generation II only, a generic sound effect is used when the opposing Pokémon faints.
** From [[Generation III]] onwards, any Pokémon fainting will say its cry. The cry is also lower-pitched (except for {{p|Chatot}}'s prior to {{gen|VI}}) when a Pokémon faints.
* When a Pokémon's [[summary]] is checked.
* In the [[Pokédex]], when a Pokémon's main page is checked, or the "Cry" option is selected.
** When a Pokémon species is caught for the first time, which makes the Pokédex page appear automatically for that species.
* When using certain moves.
** From [[Generation II]] onwards, when using {{m|Growl}} or {{m|Roar}}.
** From [[Generation III]] onwards, when using {{m|Hyper Voice}}.
** From [[Generation IV]] onwards, when using {{m|Chatter}}. However, in Generations IV and V, if there is a recorded audio, the recorded audio is used instead.
* When a Pokémon [[Evolution|evolves]], the cry from the unevolved species is heard before the Evolution, and then the cry of the evolved species is heard after the Evolution.
* When a [[Pokémon Egg]] hatches.
* When a Pokémon is deposited, withdrawn, or {{pkmn2|released}} at the [[Pokémon Storage System]] in Generations I and II.
* When a Pokémon is left at, or retrieved from, the {{pkmn|Day Care}}.
* When a Pokémon is [[trade]]d.
* When a Pokémon successfully uses a [[field move]] outside of battle.
* When a Pokémon is [[Pokémon groomer|groomed]].
* When a Pokémon is let out of its Poké Ball with the [[Let's Go!]] feature
* When the player becomes a {{pkmn|Champion}} and their Pokémon [[party]] is displayed at the [[Hall of Fame]], all Pokémon from their party say their cries.
** When the past records from the Hall of Fame are checked, the Pokémon say their cries as well.
* In [[Generation VII]], a [[wild Pokémon]] will give its cry while [[SOS Battle|calling for help]].
* When the player is starting a [[new game]], and a Pokémon is introduced to the player (for instance, {{p|Marill}} at the start of {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}).
* When the player is asked to choose a [[first partner Pokémon]].
* In [[Generation IV]] onwards, when the Pokémon breaks out of a [[Poké Ball]]
* When the player interacts with a Pokémon in the overworld.
** This includes several Pokémon that are simply found at the cities and towns; some of them are inside people's home, and some of them are outdoors.
** This also includes some [[List of wild Pokémon from in-game events|wild Pokémon from in-game events]] which may found at the overworld and can be caught after a {{pkmn|battle}}.
* Some scripted events in the overworld include Pokémon cries.
** {{p|Raikou}}, {{p|Entei}}, and {{p|Suicune}} say their cries when awoken at the [[Burned Tower]].{{sup/2|GSC}}{{sup/4|HGSS}} They also say their cries when entering [[Tin Tower]].{{sup/2|C}}
** [[Amphy]] says its cry when [[Jasmine]] interacts with it at the last floor of the [[Olivine Lighthouse]].{{sup/2|GSC}}{{sup/4|HGSS}}
** The dancing {{p|Clefairy}} say their cry multiple times during the [[Mt. Moon Square]] event.{{sup/2|GSC}}{{sup/4|HGSS}}
** {{p|Kyogre}} and {{p|Groudon}} say their cries upon entering their room in the [[Cave of Origin]]{{sup/3|RS}}/[[Marine Cave]] and [[Terra Cave]].{{sup/3|E}}
** {{p|Ho-Oh}} says its cry when encountered on the top floor of [[Navel Rock]].{{sup/3|FRLG}}
** {{p|Kyogre}} and {{p|Groudon}} say their cries while fighting in [[Sootopolis City]].{{sup/3|E}}
** {{p|Rayquaza}} says its cry when encountered on the top floor of [[Sky Pillar]] and after quelling {{p|Kyogre}} and {{p|Groudon}}.{{sup/3|E}}
** {{p|Uxie}}, {{p|Mesprit}}, and {{p|Azelf}} say their cries when appearing at [[Spear Pillar]].{{sup/4|DPPt}}
** {{p|Shaymin}} says its cry when appearing on [[Sinnoh Route 224]].{{sup/4|DPPt}}
** {{p|Dialga}}, {{p|Palkia}}, and {{p|Giratina}} say their cries when appearing at [[Spear Pillar]].{{sup/4|Pt}}
** {{p|Giratina}} says its cry when it flies overhead in the [[Distortion World]].{{sup/4|Pt}}

** {{p|Uxie}}, {{p|Mesprit}} and {{p|Azelf}} say their cries when appearing in the [[Cave of Being]].{{sup/5|B2W2}}
* In {{game|Yellow|}}, {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s|FireRed and LeafGreen}}, {{game|Platinum||Platinum}}, {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s|HeartGold and SoulSilver}}, [[Generation V]], {{pkmn|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, and [[Generation VII]], the [[Game mascot]]'s cry will be heard when "Start" or "A" is pressed at the title screen.
** In [[Generation I]], except for {{game|Yellow}}, the rotating Pokémon currently displayed on-screen will have its cry play.
** In {{game|Emerald}}, {{p|Kyogre}} and {{p|Groudon}} can be heard in the [[Game intro]].

In {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, {{game|Emerald}}, and in Generations {{gen|IV}} and {{gen|V}}, a lower-pitched cry (specifically, pitched down two semi-tones) is used if the Pokémon has critical {{stat|HP}} (half HP or below, such that the HP bar is yellow or red) or a [[status condition]] when entering a {{pkmn|battle}}, when its [[summary]] is checked{{sup/3|FRLG}}{{sup/3|E}}, or when it breaks out of a [[Poké Ball]]{{sup/4|DPPt}}{{sup/4|HGSS}}.

In [[Pokémon Sword and Shield]], the cries of all Pokémon that are sent out by the player and Trainers have an added sound effect.

In [[Generation III]], [[Generation VII]], and [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]], cries of the Pokémon found in the player's current location can occasionally be heard while walking in the overworld. In {{game|Emerald}}, these cries are heard more often if the first Pokémon in the player's [[party]] has the [[Ability]] {{a|Swarm}}.

==In the spin-off games==
===Puzzle series===
In [[Pokémon Puzzle League]], the cry from the {{pkmn|animated series}} can be heard during normal gameplay.

In [[Pokémon Puzzle Challenge]], the cry from the core series can be heard during normal gameplay, and also in the "PKMN Data" screen found the [[options]] menu.

===Play It! series===
In [[Pokémon Play It!]] and [[Pokémon Play It! Version 2]], each Pokémon has a cry. Some cries are exclusive to these games, while some other cries are based on those from the animated series. The cry is heard when a {{TCG|Pokémon}} card is placed in the Arena (either as a Basic Pokémon or via Evolution), and also in the "Collection" screen from the second game.

===Pokémon UNITE===
In {{g|UNITE}}, Pokémon use their cries in three cases:
*When a Pokémon is selected from a menu. (When preparing for a battle, selecting an inactive 1-Day Limited License, an inactive 3-Day Limited License, or an inactive 7-Day Limited License, does not count.)
*When a Pokémon first appears to battle, and when that Pokémon returns to battle after being [[fainting|knocked out]]
*After [[evolving]]
*In some, but not all cases, when a Pokémon uses a [[Unite Move]]. (For instance, neither the [[Mewtwo (Unite License X)|Mewtwo allowed for use by the Unite License X: Mewtwo]] nor the [[Mewtwo (Unite License Y)|Mewtwo allowed for use by the Unite License Y: Mewtwo]] use their cries when using Infinite Psyburn)

===Pokémon Quest===
In [[Pokémon Quest]], Pokémon are rather vocal. They use cries in the following cases:
*When [[caught Pokémon|befriended]]
*After [[evolving]]
*When tapped on while in the {{OBP|base camp|Quest}}
*As they are [[faint|knocked out]] and after they [[recover]]
*When using certain [[moves]]
*When a [[boss Pokémon]] appears
*

==In animation==
===''Pokémon the Series ''===
Most Pokémon will only say their names and communicate using those syllables. For example, [[Ash's Pikachu]] has been known to use the three syllables in the word "Pikachu" in various combinations to refer to several characters, including {{Ash}} (''Pikapi''), {{an|Misty}} (''PiKachupi''), {{an|Brock}} (''PikaChu''), {{an|Dawn}} (''Pikaka''), {{TP|Misty|Togepi}} (''Pipipi''), [[Team Rocket]] (''Pipikachu''), {{AP|Bulbasaur}} (''Pikakapika'') and to say "My name is Pikachu" (''Pika, Pikachu'').

When the [[Pokémon animated series]] is being [[dub]]bed into a different language, the original cry of a Pokémon is sometimes preserved, more often than not if the name is either similar or the same in Japanese and the dubbing language. However, sometimes it is kept when it is completely different. One example is {{p|Charizard}}, which can be heard to cry out ''Lizardon'' if listened to closely enough. Likewise, an {{p|Onix}} roar sounds like ''Iwark'', a {{p|Beedrill}} buzz sounds like "Spear", and {{p|Wooper}}'s cry sounds like "Upah!". Plus, the cries of {{p|Skitty}} and {{p|Delcatty}} sound like "ene"; the first 3 letters of their Japanese names. {{p|Arbok}}, in addition, is heard to hiss "Charbok(a)," despite both its English and Japanese names being "Arbok."

Some Pokémon's cries are entirely unrelated to their names in any language. For example, {{p|Victreebel}} screeches loudly, {{p|Staryu}} quickly yells "Heah!" in an echoing male voice, and {{p|Starmie}} says "Hoo!" in a breathy, echoing female voice. Most Legendary Pokémon that cannot speak to humans instead roar, screech, or make other sounds. Some of the Legendary Pokémon's cries are derived from other media, such as {{wp|kaiju}} films.

Junichi Masuda revealed in an interview that the reason Pokémon did not say their names in the game was hardware limitations. Despite advances, the cries were kept for realism. Newer cries are based on "what type of creature it is, its habitat, how it lives… all these kinds of things help to decide what style of cry it might have, based on all of that information."<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20220125200024/https://gamnesia.com/game-freak-explains-why-pokemon-dont-say-their-names-in-the-games/</ref>

===Other animation===
The Pokémon in {{DL|Pokémon animation|Trailers and commercials|promotional game trailers}}, and miniseries such as [[Pokémon Origins]], make realistic, animal-like cries that differ from both their in-game and {{pkmn|animated series}} cries.

==Gallery==
{{incomplete|section|XY, ORAS, SM, USUM, LGPE, SWSH, BDSP, PLA, SV?}}
The cry page does not exist in the [[Generation I]] or {{gen|II}} games, nor their [[Generation III]] and {{gen|IV}} remakes. Instead, the cry plays if the word "Cry" is selected in the Pokédex. In [[Generation VI]] and [[Generation VII]], the cry page is shared with the [[form]]s page.

==Trivia==
* As of [[Generation IX]], {{p|Cetitan}} has the longest cry at 4.007 seconds, while {{p|Pidgey}}'s is the shortest at 0.181 seconds.
* In {{game|Red and Blue|s}}, when a player's Pokémon has low HP in battle, its cry will be distorted. This is likely due to the game performing two simultaneous processes: one for the alarm sound of low HP and another to play the Pokémon's cry. This problem was fixed in {{game|Yellow}}.
** This situation occurs both when the Pokémon is sent out into battle and when its information is checked.
* In Generation IV, if the Nintendo DS is put into sleep mode in the middle of a Pokémon's cry, the cry will start over when the DS is opened again. This happens both when a Pokémon is coming into battle and fainting.
* Despite not being a Pokémon, [[Dark Rust]] has its own cry in {{g|Rumble Blast}}.
** Similarly, all [[Pokéstar Studios opponents]] have their own cries.

'''Cinnabar Island''' (Japanese: '''グレン{{tt|島|じま}}''' ''Guren Island''; '''グレンタウン''' ''Guren Town'') is a large island located off the southern coast of the [[Kanto]] [[region]], south of [[Pallet Town]]. It is home to a large volcano. [[Blaine]] was once the resident [[Gym Leader]] specializing in {{type|Fire}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, but in the [[Johto]]-based games, Cinnabar Island had been ravaged by a volcanic eruption and Blaine has moved the Cinnabar Gym to the [[Seafoam Islands]].

==Terminology==
===English===
In English media, this place is usually called '''Cinnabar Island''', regardless of the Japanese dialogue calling it an "Island" or "Town". It is sometimes shortened to just '''Cinnabar'''. For instance:

* ''"I wasn't in the mood at '''Cinnabar''', but now I'm ready to battle you."'' ({{ga|Blue}}'s quote){{sup/2|GSC}}{{sup/4|HGSS}}
* ''"We'll be watching over '''Cinnabar''', just waiting to see what will happen!"'' (Radio quote){{sup/4|HGSS}}

In the English manual of {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, this is named '''Cinnabar Town''' on the page about the [[Gym Leader]]s.

The related adjective is '''Cinnabarian''', as seen when the "'''Cinnabarian''' Hamburger Steak" is mentioned in [[Pokémon X and Y]].

In an early {{aniseries|OS}} episode summary from [[Pokémon.com]], Cinnabar Island was referred to as '''Glen Island''' in English, based on its Japanese name.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/19991012205011/http://pokemon.com/cartoons/lastten.html Pokémon World - Cartoons] (archive)</ref>

===Japanese===
In Japanese media, Cinnabar Island has two distinct Japanese names—being referred to as both "Island" and "Town". In particular, the area name (as stored on the list of locations in the game data) is the one that appears when the player enters the location and which appears on the Pokémon's [[summary]] or is mentioned by the [[Poké Seer]]{{sup/2|C}} if it was met in this location.

* '''{{j|グレン{{ruby|島|じま}}}}''' (''Guren Island'') is the area name{{sup/2|GSC}}{{sup/3|FRLG}}{{sup/7|PE}}, and it also appears on the [[Cinnabar Gym]] signpost{{sup/1|RGBY}}{{sup/3|FRLG}}{{sup/7|PE}}.
* '''{{j|グレンタウン}}''' (''Guren Town'') is the area name{{sup/4|HGSS}}, and it also appears on the island's signpost{{sup/1|RGBY}}{{sup/2|GSC}}{{sup/3|FRLG}}{{sup/4|HGSS}}{{sup/7|PE}}, the [[Cinnabar Gym]] signpost{{sup/2|GSC}}{{sup/4|HGSS}}, the Cinnabar Gym relocation notice{{sup/2|GSC}}{{sup/4|HGSS}}, and the map guide about the {{ka|Pokémon Mansion}}{{sup/3|FRLG}}.

In the [[Generation I]] games, it is referred to as simply '''{{j|グレン}}''' (''Guren'') on the [[Town Map]], just like other cities and towns.

==Geography==
Cinnabar is a small island, connected to the mainland by two water routes. To the north is {{rt|21|Kanto}} leading to Pallet Town. To the east is {{rt|20|Kanto}}, which leads to the [[Seafoam Islands]]. Further east is another water route, {{rt|19|Kanto}}, which connects northwards to [[Fuchsia City]].

The [[Pokémon Mansion journals|journals]] scattered throughout the abandoned {{ka|Pokémon Mansion}} reveal that {{p|Mewtwo}} was created there. The scientists at the [[Cinnabar Lab]] (known as the Pokémon Lab prior to [[Generation VII]]) have the ability to resurrect Pokémon from their [[Fossil]]s.

One year before [[Generation II]] (as well as its remakes), the island has been decimated by a volcanic eruption. The [[Cinnabar Gym]] has been relocated to the [[Seafoam Islands]] as a result.

==Points of interest==
===Volcano===
There is a volcano on Cinnabar Island which gives it its name. In [[Generation I]] and {{gen|III}}, no volcano is visible on the island, but in Generation VII, the volcano is on the western side, near the Cinnabar Lab and Pokémon Mansion.

In [[Generation II]] and {{Gen|IV}}, the volcano has erupted on the island, destroying everything with only the [[Pokémon Center]] being rebuilt. In these games, the player can actually see the volcano itself.

{{main|Cinnabar Gym}}
The Cinnabar Gym is the official [[Gym]] of Cinnabar Island in Generations I, III, and VII. it is based on {{type|Fire}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} and the [[Gym Leader]] is [[Blaine]]. {{pkmn|Trainer}}s who defeat him receive the {{Badge|Volcano}}. The player is unable to enter the Gym at once; only when they obtain the {{ka|Secret Key}} from the {{ka|Pokémon Mansion}} can they unlock the door to the Gym.

It was relocated to the [[Seafoam Islands]] following the volcanic eruption in Generation II and IV.

===Pokémon Mansion===
{{main|Pokémon Mansion (Kanto)}}
The Pokémon Mansion is a decrepit, burned-down mansion on Cinnabar Island. It got its name because a famous Pokémon researcher once lived there. To access the Cinnabar Island [[Gym]] in [[Generation]]s {{gen|I}}, {{gen|III}}, and {{gen|VII}}, the player has to enter the mansion and find the {{ka|Secret Key}} to unlock the door of the Gym. Many {{tc|Burglar}}s come to the mansion, trying to steal valuable items that may have been lost in the wreckage. Several [[Pokémon Mansion journals|journal entries]] can be found around the mansion, describing the discovery of {{p|Mew}} and the creation of {{p|Mewtwo}}.

It has been destroyed as a result of a volcanic eruption by the time of [[Generation II]] and [[Generation IV]].

==Differences between generations==
Cinnabar Island has changed dramatically between [[Generation]]s {{Gen|I}} and {{Gen|II}} as the city has been totally replaced by a large erupted volcano, removing everything except for the [[Pokémon Center]]. After the eruption, the [[Gym]] was relocated to the [[Seafoam Islands]]. {{ga|Blue}} can be first found at Cinnabar Island, because he was in a bad mood and decided to take a stroll there. In [[Generation III]], there are a few changes with the visual design, as the {{ka|Pokémon Mansion}} and [[Cinnabar Lab|Pokémon Lab]] are slightly larger along with more sandy beach areas. The first and last questions in the Cinnabar Gym have also been changed slightly for clarification. In [[Generation IV]], the island stays much the same as [[Generation II]], although the volcano is now climbable by {{m|Rock Climb}}. In Generation VII, the eastern slope of the volcano is visible close to the Lab and Pokémon Mansion, but is not accessible.

===Generation II===
Although Kanto was planned to return in Gold and Silver since 1997, the [[Pokémon Gold and Silver Spaceworld '97 demo]] reveals that at the time, Kanto was a tiny reconstruction of its original map, as opposed to being far more complete in the final. Whilst this included heavily condensed versions of most areas from Kanto, no Cinnabar Island can be seen, with two large rocks taking its place.

==In the spin-off games==
===Pokémon Pinball===
In {{g|Pinball}}, Cinnabar Island appears on the Red and Blue tables; catchable Pokémon include {{p|Growlithe}}, {{p|Ponyta}}, {{p|Grimer}}, {{p|Koffing}}, {{p|Tangela}}, {{p|Magmar}}, {{p|Omanyte}}, {{p|Kabuto}} and {{p|Aerodactyl}}.

===Pokkén Tournament===
While Cinnabar Island does not appear in [[Pokkén Tournament]], when fighting [[Shadow Mewtwo]], sometimes {{pokken|Nia}} will mention having read the "[[Pokémon Mansion journals|Cinnabar Island docs]]" on Mewtwo. However, the words "Cinnabar Island" aren't in text, and thus are only noticeable if her voice is turned on.

===PokéROM===
In [[PokéROM]], the [[Trainer Race]] quiz minigame includes a question about this place: ''"What makes Cinnabar Island an island?"'' The accepted answer is: ''"It is surrounded by water."''

==In animation==
[[File:Cinnabar Island anime.png|thumb|220px|Cinnabar Island in {{aniseries|OS}}]]
===''Pokémon the Series''===
===={{aniseries|OS}}====
In {{aniseries|PTS}}, Cinnabar Island is depicted as a tourist resort after the Cinnabar [[Gym Leader]], [[Blaine]], closed the [[Cinnabar Gym]] down due to the large influx of challengers who cared more about souvenirs than battling. However, Blaine secretly constructed a new Gym inside the Cinnabar Volcano.

In ''[[EP058|Riddle Me This]]'', {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} arrived on Cinnabar Island for Ash's seventh [[Badge]]. However, they were dismayed to learn that the Gym had been closed down. After saving the Pokémon at the [[Cinnabar Lab|Pokémon Lab]] from being stolen by {{TRT}}, a riddle-loving man told the group about Blaine's new secret Gym and gave them a hint about its location. The group eventually discovered the Gym's secret entrance by accident next to the hot spring at the riddle man's "Big Riddle Inn". Inside the Gym, Ash and his friends found the riddle man, who turned out to be Blaine in disguise. Ash started a Gym battle with Blaine, but had difficulties during the entire match.

In ''[[EP059|Volcanic Panic]]'', Ash forfeited the Gym battle and retreated to heal his Pokémon. Meanwhile, Team Rocket sneaked into the Gym to steal [[Blaine's Magmar]], but their actions at the heart of the volcano threatened to make it erupt and destroy Cinnabar Island. Ash and his friends assisted Blaine in stopping the eruption, and, as a sign of gratitude, Blaine agreed to have a [[rematch]] with Ash. Since the Gym had been destroyed during the incident, the battle took place at the summit of the volcano. To Ash's surprise, his usually [[Obedience|disobedient]] {{AP|Charizard}} offered to battle Blaine's Magmar. After a heated battle, Charizard emerged victorious, earning Ash the {{badge|Volcano}}. Ash and his friends left the island in [[EP060|the next episode]], headed for [[Viridian City]].

===Pokémon Origins===
Cinnabar Island was visited by {{OBP|Red|Origins}} in ''[[PO03|File 3: Giovanni]]''. During his visit, he first explored the {{ka|Pokémon Mansion}}, where he discovered a [[Pokémon Mansion journals|journal]] that would [[PO04|later]] help him identify [[Cerulean Cave]]'s mysterious Pokémon as {{p|Mewtwo}}. After exploring the Mansion, Red challenged Blaine to a Gym battle and won, earning the Volcano Badge.

==In the manga==
===Pokémon Adventures===
[[File:Cinnabar Island Adventures.png|thumb|250px|Cinnabar Island in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
===={{MangaArc|Red, Green & Blue}}====
Cinnabar Island debuted in ''[[PS026|Holy Moltres]]'', where [[Team Rocket]] was trying to hunt down [[Blaine]] on the island because of him leaving them. When Team Rocket threatened {{adv|Red}}, Blaine showed himself and rescued him. When they tried to escape, Team Rocket sent {{DL|Legendary birds (Adventures)|Moltres}} after them. As Blaine knew that they needed a {{t|Flying}} Pokémon to fight Moltres effectively, he sent Red to [[Cinnabar Lab|his secret laboratory]] to revive his [[Old Amber]]. Thanks to the [[Aero]]dactyl revived by Red, Team Rocket and Moltres were forced to retreat.

===={{MangaArc|Yellow}}====
In ''[[PS064|Putting It on the Line...Against Arcanine]]'', {{adv|Yellow}} arrived at Cinnabar Island from the [[Seafoam Islands]]. At the top of the volcano, she saw Blaine training with {{tc|Camper}} [[Evan]], after which he invited her to his laboratory. They soon received emergency messages from all over [[Kanto]], revealing that the [[Elite Four]] had started their attack on the region. Both Blaine and Yellow then departed to launch a direct assault against the Elite Four's base at [[Cerise Island]].

==== {{MangaArc|Gold, Silver & Crystal}} ====
Cinnabar Island makes a brief appearance in ''[[PS162|Heckled by Hitmontop]]'', where {{adv|Mewtwo}} is seen flying out the top of the volcano, after Blaine had their connection severed.

===={{MangaArc|FireRed & LeafGreen}}====
Cinnabar Island once again makes a brief appearance in ''[[PS295|Double Down Deoxys]]'', when Camper Evan and {{tc|Super Nerd}} {{adv|Miles}} visited Blaine at his laboratory. Due to the mark left on his arm by Mewtwo's cells, Blaine was able to sense Mewtwo's agitation, speculating that it was due to {{adv|Mew}} heading back to the Kanto mainland from [[Faraway Island]].

===={{MangaArc|Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon}}====
In ''[[PASM28|Arrival at the Scientific Megalopolis]]'', {{adv|Sun}} was revealed to have been born and raised at Cinnabar Island before he moved to [[Alola]].

===Pokémon Zensho===
Cinnabar Island appeared in ''[[PZ08|Cinnabar Island]]'', where {{zensho|Satoshi}} arrived there after briefly visiting [[Seafoam Islands]]. He immediately headed to the [[Cinnabar Gym]], where he met, talked with, and defeated [[Blaine]], with his {{p|Charmeleon}} evolving into {{zensho|Satoshi's Charizard|Charizard}} in the process. Afterwards, Satoshi and Blaine headed back to Seafoam Islands together in order to catch {{p|Articuno}}.

==Trivia==
* Cinnabar Island has many glitches associated with it in the [[Generation I]] games, such as the [[old man glitch]], due to programming oversights on the island's coast. There is also {{DL|List of glitches in Generation I|Overworld sprite misplacement|a trick to see a man on the roof}} of the [[Cinnabar Gym|Gym]]. However, both of these glitches were fixed in some regional versions.
* Cinnabar Island and [[Vermilion City]] are named after the same color in the English versions of the Pokémon games but not in the Japanese versions, since {{wp|crimson}} ({{j|{{jwp|紅蓮|グレン}}}} ''guren'', "crimson lotus") refers to a shade of red while {{wp|vermilion}} ({{j|{{jwp|朽葉|クチバ}}}} ''kuchiba'', "decayed leaves") refers to a shade of orange. {{wp|Cinnabar}} is an orange-red mineral that produces the orange-red pigment vermilion. This explains why Cinnabar Island is colored red while Vermilion City is colored orange in the [[Generation I]] games when played with the [[Super Game Boy]] enhancements enabled on a compatible system or with the [[Game Boy Color]] enhancements available in the international releases of {{game|Yellow}} (including the [[Virtual Console]] release).
* It is the southernmost location in both [[Kanto]] and [[Johto]] that the player can {{m|Fly}} to.
* A Cinnabar-related food item is mentioned in the [[Generation II]] games and their [[Generation IV]] remakes, as well as by a woman in [[Kiloude City]] in [[Pokémon X and Y]]:
*: Cinnabar Volcano Burger (Japanese: グレンふうかざんハンバーグ ''Guren-Style Volcano Hamburger Steak''){{sup/2|GSC}}{{sup/4|HGSS}}
*: Cinnabarian hamburger steak (Japanese: グレン{{ruby|風|ふう}}ハンバーグ ''Guren-Style Hamburger Steak''){{sup/6|XY}}
* In [[Generation IV]], if the player [[black out|blacks out]] or uses {{m|Teleport}} when the Cinnabar Island Pokémon Center was the last Pokémon Center they visited, they will be taken to the last Pokémon Center they had visited prior to Cinnabar Island instead. This is likely to prevent the player from being permanently stranded on Cinnabar Island if their only Pokémon can't learn {{m|Surf}} or {{m|Fly}} and they have no means of obtaining another Pokémon.
{{youtubevid|mKkPM4sSIsA|channel/UC_nRTi_vTE4U8lZySUhSQQg|name=Alucard|Fighting}}
* Cinnabar Island is based on {{wp|Izu Ōshima}}, an inhabited volcanic island off the coast of Japan. Izu Ōshima is the largest and closest of Tokyo's outlying islands. Similarly to Cinnabar's fate in the Generation II and IV games, the island's population were forced to evacuate in both 1965 and 1986 due to major eruptions. Cinnabar being rendered permanently uninhabitable also parallels {{wp|Montserrat}}, an island in the Caribbean whose human settlements were destroyed by the 1995 eruption of the {{wp|Soufrière Hills}} volcano.

'''Fuchsia City''' (Japanese: '''セキチクシティ''' ''Sekichiku City'') is a city located in southwest [[Kanto]]. Its most distinguishing features are the {{safari|Kanto}} in the [[Generation]] {{Gen|I}} and {{Gen|III}} games and the {{type|Poison}} [[Gym]]. [[Koga]] is the Fuchsia City [[Gym Leader]] until his daughter [[Janine]] takes over in the [[Generation II]] and {{gen|IV}} games.

{{rt|15|Kanto}} leads into the city from the east, {{rt|18|Kanto}} from the west, and the beach of {{rt|19|Kanto}} is in the south.

[[Bill's grandfather]] lives in Fuchsia City.

In Generation II, the {{safari|Kanto}} is closed down. In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, [[Pal Park]] replaces the closed-down Safari Zone. In [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], the zoo in the city is referred to as the Safari Zone, while the former Safari Zone's location is now occupied by [[GO Park]].

===Safari Zone===
{{main|Kanto Safari Zone}}
The Safari Zone is a special {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} preserve where {{pkmn|Trainer}}s can enter to {{pkmn2|caught|catch}} certain types of Pokémon. It is owned by the [[Baoba|Warden]].

For {{PDollar}}500, the {{player}} will receive 30 [[Safari Ball]]s. With a large area to cover, Trainers must plan out their destination so as to arrive in time to capture all the Pokémon they want.

When a [[wild Pokémon]] appears, no Pokémon may be sent out to battle it: catching Pokémon here, as in all Safari Zones, requires sheer luck. There are four options in the battle screen: throw a Safari Ball, throw Bait, throw a Rock, and run away. Throwing Bait makes a Pokémon less likely to run, but makes it harder to catch; while throwing a Rock does the reverse, making it easier to catch but more likely to run.

During [[Generation I|Generations I]] and {{gen|III}}, however, a sweepstakes is taking place to find a hidden house deep in the Safari Zone, called the Secret House. The winner of the sweepstakes receives {{HM|03|Surf}}. During [[Generation II|Generations II]] and {{gen|IV}}, the Safari Zone is not open. In {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}} only, the Kanto [[Pal Park]] takes its place.

During [[Generation VII]], the regular catching mechanics of [[Pokémon Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]] is similar to the Safari Game, with different types of [[Berry]] being thrown to make catching instead of weakening wild Pokémon in battle. The Safari Zone now refers to the former [[#Pokémon Zoo|Pokémon Zoo]] in the front, and the [[GO Park]] out back.

===Safari Zone Warden===
{{main|Baoba}}
[[File:Safari Zone Warden.png|thumb|left|200px|Safari Zone Warden unable to speak clearly]]
Safari Zone Warden [[Baoba]] is the man in charge of the [[Kanto Safari Zone]]. His house is located on the southeastern side of the city. He lives in a cottage next to the [[Pokémon Center]]. The locals of Fuchsia nicknamed the Warden "Slowpoke" because he has a vacant look similar to that seen on a {{p|Slowpoke}}. He's actually very knowledgeable about Pokémon, which should only be natural as taking care of the Safari Zone {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} is part of his job. He has a collection of rare Pokémon [[Fossil]]s. He has recently lost his [[Gold Teeth|false teeth]] in the Safari Zone{{sup/1}}{{sup/3|FRLG}} or on {{rt|19|Kanto}}{{sup/7|PE}} and has become unable to speak clearly. If the player character returns his teeth to him, he'll give them {{HM|04|Strength}},{{sup/1}}{{sup/3|FRLG}} or he will teach their {{OBP|Partner Pokémon|Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!}} the [[Secret Technique]] Strong Push and will give both the player and their Partner Pokémon the {{DL|List of clothing in Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!|Safari Set}}.{{sup/7|PE}} In [[Generation I|Generations I]] to {{gen|IV}}, [[wild Pokémon]] appear in the city in a pond behind the Warden's house.

He also runs a promotion in the Safari Zone. Pokémon Trainers who find the Secret House on the grounds are given {{HM|03|Surf}}.{{sup/1}}{{sup/3|FRLG}} As {{LGPE}} do not have the original version of the Safari Zone, the Secret House, or HMs, the games' rough equivalent of Surf, the [[Secret Technique]] Sea Skim, is taught to the player's Partner Pokémon by another NPC in Fuchsia City. It's probable that Baoba is friends with [[Koga]], as the [[Gym Leader]] patrols the grounds of the Safari Zone to keep things safe. In {{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}}, Koga's daughter, [[Janine]], can also be found just outside of the Safari Zone after the player enters the [[Hall of Fame]].

In [[Generation II]], the Warden has left on a trip, so the Safari Zone has been shut down and most of the exclusive Pokémon have been moved to adjacent Routes. As there is a [[GO Park]] in place of the original Safari Zone in Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!, The once-exclusive Pokémon are also moved there in the Generation VII games, with {{p|Tauros}}, {{p|Chansey}}, {{p|Scyther}},{{sup/7|P}} and {{p|Pinsir}}{{sup/7|E}} now being obtainable on {{rt|15|Kanto}}. In {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, however, the park's closing led to the opening of a [[Pal Park]]. It's also in these games that the Warden's name is revealed to be Baoba. Wishing to maintain the Safari Game, Baoba opens {{safari|Johto|another Safari Zone}} in [[Johto]].

===Move Deleter===
[[File:Move Deleter FRLG.png|thumb|200px|Move Deleter]]
In [[Generation III]], a [[Move Deleter]] resides in the house next to the Fuchsia City's [[Pokémon Center]]. The Move Deleter is a very forgetful man who lives alone. For no charge, he will make a Pokémon forget a [[move]] that it knows, provided that the move is not the only move which that Pokémon knows. He is the only way for a Pokémon to forget [[HM]] moves such as {{m|Cut}} or {{m|Fly}}. This house cannot be accessed in [[Generation]]s {{gen|I}}, {{gen|II}}, or {{gen|IV}}. In [[Generation VII]], the house is still accessible, now the residence of a young couple who inform the player that the Move Deleter "Mr. Dazzling" has moved away to the former home of the younger [[Fishing Brothers|Fishing Brother]] on {{rt|12|Kanto}}. As neither HMs nor the [[Super Rod]] are in Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!, he now gives the player {{TM|32|Dazzling Gleam}}.

===Pokémon Zoo===
In Generations I and III, a Pokémon zoo is located in Fuchsia City, just outside the Safari Zone. However, it is closed, like the Safari Zone, in Generations II and IV. There are Pokémon on display, including {{p|Chansey}}, {{p|Lapras}}, {{p|Voltorb}}, {{p|Kangaskhan}}, and {{p|Slowpoke}}. In addition, the [[Fossil]] that the player "shares" with the {{tc|Super Nerd}} in [[Mt. Moon]] appears here as well. It will be a {{p|Kabuto}} if the player chose the [[Helix Fossil]], and an {{p|Omanyte}} if the player chose the [[Dome Fossil]]. In [[Generation VII]], it is the front area of the Safari Zone, also known as the Playful Park. Chansey, Lapras, Voltorb, Kangaskhan, Slowpoke, and either Kabuto or Omanyte are still in this part of the city outside of the GO Park but now roam freely instead of being on display in enclosures.

===Berries===
In {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, a {{tc|Juggler}} that is found near [[Pal Park]] will hand out three different types of [[Berry|Berries]] each time a [[shard]] is traded. The types of Berries given to the {{player}} depend on the shard's color. There is another Juggler that will trade a shard for Berries in [[Violet City]].

===Move Tutor===
In {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, near the {{p|Kangaskhan}} exhibit, there is a {{tc|Bug Catcher}} who teaches the move {{m|Substitute}}.

In [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], a Trainer in the [[Pokémon Center]] will teach the player's {{OBP|Partner Pokémon|Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!}} [[signature moves|exclusive moves]].

===Fuchsia Gym===
[[File:Fuchsia Gym FRLG.png|thumb|200px|Fuchsia Gym in FireRed and LeafGreen]]
{{main|Fuchsia Gym}}
The Fuchsia Gym is the official [[Gym]] of Fuchsia City. It is based on {{type|Poison}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. In [[Generation I|Generations I]], {{gen|III}}, and {{gen|VII}}, the [[Gym Leader]] is [[Koga]]. However, by [[Generation II|Generations II]] and {{gen|IV}}, the Gym Leader's duties have been taken up by Koga's daughter, [[Janine]]. {{pkmn|Trainer}}s who are victorious at this Gym receive the {{Badge|Soul}}.

The Gym contains a maze made of invisible walls. Under Janine's rule, an additional layer of challenge is added by having all the Gym Trainers be disguised as the Gym Leader until talked to.

==Differences among generations==
Three years from [[Generation I]] and {{Gen|III}} to [[Generation II]] and {{Gen|IV}}, the city has changed quite dramatically. The Pokémon Zoo has closed down, transforming the northern half of the city into a grassy plain, only accessible by the use of {{m|Cut}}. There is also a small area in the northwestern part of the city, that contains a [[Burnt Berry]]. The southeasternmost house can no longer be entered, and a gap in the fence is added to let the player access the pond behind it.

In [[Generation II]], Warden Slowpoke has left on a trip, so the Safari Zone has been shut down and most of the exclusive Pokémon have been moved to adjacent routes. In Generation IV, the Safari Zone is replaced with Pal Park instead, with a replacement Safari Zone now {{safari|Johto|found in Johto}}.

==In the spin-off games==
===Pokémon Pinball===
In {{g|Pinball}}, Fuchsia City (misspelled Fuchia) appears on the Blue table; catchable {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} include {{p|Venonat}}, {{p|Exeggcute}}, {{p|Kangaskhan}}, {{p|Goldeen}} and {{p|Magikarp}}.

==In animation==
[[File:Fuchsia City anime 2.png|thumb|right|220px|Fuchsia City in {{aniseries|RS}}]]
===''Pokémon the Series''===
===={{aniseries|OS}}====
Even though {{Ash}} won the {{badge|Soul}} at the [[Fuchsia Gym]] in ''[[EP032|The Ninja Poké-Showdown]]'', the Gym was located outside of Fuchsia City, thus resulting in the city itself not being visited at the time.

A [[Nurse Joy]] that entered the [[Pokémon League Admissions Exam]] in ''[[EP056|The Ultimate Test]]'' was from Fuchsia City.

===={{aniseries|RS}}====

The [[Battle Pike]] is also located near Fuchsia City.

Fuchsia City itself made its proper debut in ''[[AG157|Time Warp Heals All Wounds]]'', where it was depicted as a deserted, dark-looking place. When her {{TP|May|Squirtle}} wandered off, {{an|May}} chased it to an abandoned railway station. There she discovered an old woman named [[Edna]], who told her that she was waiting for her husband, {{OBP|Jonathan|AG157}}, to return, even though the trains didn't use the station anymore.

From Edna's granddaughter {{OBP|Katrina|AG157}}, May heard that Edna and Jonathan had once operated a [[Pokémon breeding]] Center in Fuchsia City, until Jonathan had suggested that they leave for a while so he could study to become a doctor. Edna, however, had been unwilling to leave her hometown, so Jonathan left for the train station by himself, leaving behind a letter telling of his decision. After reading the letter, Edna had rushed to the station, intending to convince Jonathan to stay, for she, unbeknownst by Jonathan, was carrying a child. Unfortunately, she bumped into a {{tc|Gentleman}} on the way, preventing her from reaching Jonathan in time. Even though she got a letter a year later telling her that Jonathan had died in an accident, she still came to the station every day to wait for his return, refusing to believe that her husband was gone.

[[File:Fuchsia City past anime.png|thumb|right|220px|Fuchsia City in the past]]
[[File:Fuchsia City anime 1.png|thumb|left|220px|Fuchsia City in the alternate present]]
Soon after, May, Squirtle, and {{MTR}} found the pendant Edna had lost back when Jonathan had left. Suddenly the pendant started to glow, and May, Squirtle, and Meowth unexpectedly found themselves in the past, back at the day when Jonathan had left Edna. Not wanting the lovers to lose each other, May used her Squirtle's {{m|Ice Beam}} to change the falling rain into a snowfall, delaying the train's departure long enough for Edna to reach Jonathan in time and convince him to stay. Just then, the pendant started to glow again, and May, Squirtle, and Meowth were returned to the present, where their actions in the past had had dramatic results: Fuchsia City was no longer deserted and dark, but lively and full of light, with even the train station still being in use. Just then, Ash, {{an|Brock}}, and [[Max]] arrived, telling May that her {{pkmn|Egg}} was about to hatch. When she went with the others to see her Egg at the Pokémon Center, she was surprised to see Edna, Jonathan, and Katrina, who were now working together as Pokémon {{wp|pediatrics|pediatricians}}. Due to the past having been changed, neither Edna or Katrina remembered May, and due to May, Squirtle, and Meowth being the only ones having [[Time travel|traveled through time]], they were the only ones aware of the alternate present.

Later at that night, after May's Egg hatched into an {{TP|May|Eevee}}, Ash, his friends, Edna, Jonathan, and Katrina witnessed the "Lights of Joy", where {{p|Volbeat}} and {{p|Illumise}} danced around a tree in the middle of the city, something that the alternate present had lacked.

====''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]''====
In ''[[JN021|Caring for a Mystery!]]'', Ash battled and defeated [[Hayden]], a Trainer from Fuchsia City, in a [[World Coronation Series]] match.

===Pokémon Origins===
Although Fuchsia City didn't make a proper appearance in [[Pokémon Origins]], {{OBP|Red|Origins}} did visit it briefly in ''[[PO03|File 3: Giovanni]]'', where he defeated Koga and earned the Soul Badge, and in ''[[PO04|File 4: Charizard]]'', where he was seen visiting the {{safari|Kanto}} and catching a {{p|Chansey}} in there.
{{-}}

==In the manga==
[[File:Fuchsia City Adventures.png|thumb|200px|Fuchsia City in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
[[File:Fuchsia City PM.png|thumb|150px|Fuchsia City in [[Pokémon Pocket Monsters]]]]
===Pokémon Adventures===
===={{MangaArc|Red, Green & Blue}}====
Fuchsia City first appeared ''[[PS021|Long Live the Nidoking!]]'' and ''[[PS022|A Hollow Victreebel]]'', where {{adv|Red}} visited the {{safari|Kanto}}. His actions during the guided tour around the place caused him to get lost and nearly get killed by the [[wild Pokémon]], but eventually he managed to survive his experience, catching a ton of Pokémon along the way.

===={{MangaArc|FireRed & LeafGreen}}====
Fuchsia City made a cameo in ''[[PS298|Start the Countdown, Starmie]]'', where [[Baoba]] and one of his [[Pidgebot]]s witnessed the stalling [[Team Rocket airship]] passing over the city.
{{left clear}}

===Pokémon Pocket Monsters===
Fuchsia City appeared in ''[[PM015|Save the Chansey!!]]'', where {{PPM|Red}} and {{TP|Red|Clefairy}} tried to save a group of {{p|Chansey}} from a Chansey Torturer hired by Koga.

===The Electric Tale of Pikachu===
{{OBP|Ash Ketchum|EToP|Ash}} and {{an|Brock}} traveled to Fuchsia City in ''[[ET05|The Human Race and the Pokémon Race]]'', arriving there during the [[Nomads Independence Day]] festival, where they reunited with {{an|Misty}}. During the group's stay in the city, Ash participated in the [[Fuchsia Free-For-All Race]] on behalf of [[Lara Laramie]].

===Pokémon Zensho===
Fuchsia City appeared in [[PZ06]]. Soon after arriving in the city, {{zensho|Satoshi}} learned that the {{safari|Kanto}} [[Baoba|Warden]] had lost [[Gold Teeth|his dentures]] and agreed to help find them. After successfully finding the dentures and defeating [[Gym Leader]] [[Koga]] at the Safari Zone, Satoshi returned the dentures to the Warden as promised.

In this [[canon]], Fuchsia City used to be a ninja village, until the Safari Zone was built, although the Warden, being childhood friends with Koga, made sure to not get rid of the original Pokémon living in the area.
{{-}}

==Trivia==
* In {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, after the player enters the [[Hall of Fame]], [[Janine]] can be found behind the zoo saying that she is training to become the [[Gym Leader]]. Her name in the [[Fame Checker]] is erroneously listed as "Charine" in the English versions.
* Starting in {{game|Yellow}}, wild {{p|Gyarados}} can be caught by fishing in the lake next to the Warden's house. This may be a reference to [[EP035]], where {{an|Misty}} fishes up a {{p|Gyarados}} in the {{safari|Kanto}}.
* Fuchsia City did not appear in {{aniseries|PTS}} until ''[[AG157|Time Warp Heals All Wounds]]'' in the Battle Frontier saga, despite the Gym appearing in {{aniseries|OS}}, making it the only [[Kanto]] settlement to not appear during the original series.
* In Generation II, this city shares its music with [[Celadon City]] instead of with [[Cerulean City]] like in all other games.
* In Generation II, the [[Pokémon Center lady]] has green hair instead of red.
* In [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], two [[Master Trainer]]s found here share each other's names, although in different languages.

'''Saffron City''' (Japanese: '''ヤマブキシティ''' ''Yamabuki City'') is a sprawling metropolis in the [[Kanto]] [[region]]. It lies in between [[Celadon City]], [[Vermilion City]], [[Lavender Town]], and [[Cerulean City]]. It is home to [[Sabrina]], the city's [[Gym Leader]].

It is modeled after Japan's capital city of {{wp|Tokyo}} and is the largest and one of the busiest cities in Kanto, being famous even in other regions. It is the tenth most populous city in the [[Pokémon world]] and one of the only cities in Kanto that has enough visible houses to accommodate its population in the games. The large [[Silph Co.]] headquarters building stands firm as the city's centerpiece while two [[Gym]]s dominate the northeastern corner district. Not only is this the central business district of Kanto, it also holds the region's largest infrastructure, including the [[Magnet Train]] station, which allows ease of access between Kanto and [[Johto]].

==Slogan==
{{incomplete|section|Check Japanese Generation VII slogan}}
===Generations I-III===
'''''Shining, Golden Land of Commerce''''' (Japanese: '''ヤマブキ　きんいろ　かがやきのいろ''' ''Yamabuki is the color of golden radiance.'')

===Generation IV===
'''''Shining Big City''''' (Japanese: '''ひかり　かがやく　だいとかい''' ''Shining big city'')

===Generation VII===
'''''Shining Golden Land of Commerce'''''

==Access==
===Generations I, III, and VII===
Traveling to Saffron City is impossible at first, as the guards at the city's [[gate]]s are thirsty and will not let anyone through. After giving any of the guards a [[drink]] from the [[Celadon Department Store]] (in the [[Generation I]] games) or [[Tea]], they will all let the {{player}} pass. In {{LGPE}}, [[Brock]] and an NPC in the Route 7 gate describe the thirst as a side effect of [[Pewter Crunchies]].

===Generations II and IV===
The player does not need to fulfill certain requirements in order to access the city.

==Places of interest==
===Silph Co. Head Office===
{{main|Silph Co.}}
The Silph Co. Head Office is the largest and tallest building in the city. Silph Co. are the leading manufacturer of Pokémon technology in the world, and produce a variety of goods for {{pkmn|Trainer}}s, such as the [[Poké Ball]] and the [[Silph Scope]].

Their status makes them a target of [[Team Rocket]], who orchestrated the takeover of their headquarters in Saffron City in order to obtain the [[Master Ball]]. However, the player successfully drives them out and the President of Silph gives the player the Master Ball for saving the company.

The Silph Co. Head Office is an eleven-floor skyscraper, and effectively a giant maze. The building contains a number of [[warp panel]]s, which must be used in order to reach different rooms. Some of Silph's doors require a {{ka|Card Key}} to open.

In Generations {{gen|II}} and {{gen|IV}}, Silph Co. has increased security, and the player is not allowed to enter the upper floors. In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, one of the [[Hoenn]] region's [[first partner Pokémon]] may be obtained here from [[Hoenn]] {{pkmn|Champion}} {{Steven}}. In Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, [[Rotom's Room]] is located in this building, which contains appliances that allow {{p|Rotom}} to change forms.

===Fighting Dojo===
{{main|Fighting Dojo}}
[[File:Fighting Dojo FRLG.png|thumb|200px|The Fighting Dojo in FireRed and LeafGreen]]
In addition to [[Sabrina]]'s {{type|Psychic}} [[Gym]], there is also an unofficial Gym, the Fighting Dojo, which specializes in {{type|Fighting}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. The {{player}} can obtain their choice of {{p|Hitmonchan}} or {{p|Hitmonlee}} by defeating the Karate Master [[Koichi]].

The Fighting Dojo and the Saffron Gym once competed against each other to determine which one would be Saffron City's Gym. Due to the [[Type#Type effectiveness|type advantage]] that the Saffron Gym's Psychic-type Pokémon had over the Dojo's Fighting-type Pokémon, Saffron Gym easily won and became the official Gym.

In [[Generation II]], the Dojo is closed because the Karate Master [[Kiyo]] has left to train in [[Johto]]'s [[Mt. Mortar]]. In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, the player can schedule rematches with [[Kanto]] and [[Johto]] [[Gym Leader]]s to be held here using their [[Pokégear]].
{{-}}

===Magnet Train station===
{{main|Magnet Train}}
[[File:Magnet Train GSC.png|thumb|200px|The Magnet Train at the station in Generation II]]
In the [[Generation II]] games and {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, the [[Magnet Train]] runs from Saffron City to [[Goldenrod City]] in [[Johto]], connecting the two [[region]]s. It is one of the few methods {{player}}s can use to travel from region to region, and it will allow rapid travel between the two cities, going at over 340 miles per hour (550 kilometers per hour).

To board the train, the player must have a [[Pass]]. The {{OBP|Copycat|character}} in Saffron City has one and is willing to give it up as a reward for returning her the [[Lost Item|Poké Doll]] that {{ga|Red}} gave to her [[Generation I|three years before]]. Initially, the train is out of service as a minion of [[Team Rocket]] has stolen a valuable [[Machine Part|part]] from the [[Kanto Power Plant]]. After defeating him on {{rt|24|Kanto}}, the player can retrieve the part from the [[Cerulean Gym]] and return it to the Power Plant. With the component back in place, the train will have the necessary power to run.

In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, [[Vermilion City]]'s [[Gym Leader]] [[Lt. Surge]] will come here and offer to trade his {{p|Pikachu}} for the player's Pikachu. This Pikachu is notable because it originates from a different language than that of the player's game: in the English releases, it is French and in all other releases, it is English.
{{-}}
===Mr. Psychic's House===
Mr. Psychic lives in a small house that is located on the southeastern side of the city, being better accessible by entering Saffron City from the southern entrance. He sits at a table in the middle of the room. When talked to for the first time in every game he is featured in, he will claim to know that the {{player}} really wants to receive a gift from him, giving the [[TM]] for {{m|Psychic}} to the player.

In the ''[[Pokémon: Official Nintendo Player's Guide]]'', it is implied that Mr. Psychic may not be able to discover what the player was actually thinking. According to this guidebook, Mr. Psychic was expelled from an organization called "Friendly Psychic Network".<ref>''"You weren't thinking about a TM 29? Oh, well, maybe that's why he was booted out of the Friendly Psychic Network."'' - ''[[Pokémon: Official Nintendo Player's Guide]]'', page 42</ref>

===Copycat's house===
{{main|Copycat (character)}}
In the [[Generation I]] games, {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, and [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], Copycat lives in a house that is located in the northwest of the city. In the Generation I games, if the player gives her a [[Poké Doll]] she will give them {{TM|31|Mimic}}; in Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen she will offer to [[Move Tutor|teach]] one of the player's Pokémon {{m|Mimic}} if the player gives her a [[Poké Doll]]; and in Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!, she gives the player {{TM|08|Substitute}} if they show her a {{p|Clefairy}}. There is a video game system in her bedroom: in the Generation I games and Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen it is an [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System|SNES]] with {{smw|Mario & Wario|a game}} that has {{smw|Mario}} with a bucket on his head; in Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!, it is a [[Nintendo Switch]] with [[Pokémon Quest|a game]] featuring cube-shaped Pokémon.

Between the events of Generations I and {{gen|II}}, Copycat's house in Saffron City was torn down to make room for the [[Magnet Train]] station. Copycat and her family move to a house slightly south of the station.

In the Generation II games and {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, Copycat's Clefairy doll goes missing, being found by a member of the [[Pokémon Fan Club]] in [[Vermilion City]]. When the {{player}} returns her lost doll, Copycat will reward them with a ticket to ride the [[Magnet Train]] that travels between [[Kanto]] and [[Johto]].

===Pokémon Trainer Fan Club===
[[File:Saffron Trainer Fan Club interior FRLG.png|thumb|right|The Pokémon Trainer Fan Club in FireRed and LeafGreen]]
People gather to discuss their favorite celebrity {{pkmn|Trainer}}s at the [[Pokémon Trainer Fan Club]], which only exists in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}.

[[File:Saffron Gym FRLG.png|thumb|200px|Saffron Gym in FireRed and LeafGreen]]
[[File:Saffron Gym HGSS.png|thumb|left|200px|Saffron Gym in HeartGold and SoulSilver]]
The Saffron Gym is the official [[Gym]] of Saffron City. It is based on {{type|Psychic}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. The [[Gym Leader]] is [[Sabrina]]. {{pkmn|Trainer}}s who defeat her receive the {{badge|Marsh}}. The Saffron Gym is a maze of warp panels and nine rooms.

==Differences in generations==
[[File:RG Saffron City.png|thumb|180px|Artwork of Saffron City from {{game|Red and Green|s}}]]
In between the events of [[Generation I]] and {{gen|II}}, {{OBP|Copycat|character}}'s house in Saffron City was torn down to make room for the [[Magnet Train]] station.

In the Generation I games and {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, there is a sign advertising [[Silph Co.]]'s "latest product" with a release date not defined.
{{-}}

==In the spin-off games==
===Super Smash Bros. series===
{{main|Saffron City (stage)}}
[[File:Saffron City SSB.png|thumb|200px|Saffron City in [[Super Smash Bros.]]]]
'''{{St|Saffron City}}''' appears as a playable stage, specifically the roof of [[Silph Co.]], in [[Super Smash Bros.]] In the background, the text "[[Gotta Catch 'em All!]]" and "{{rt|5|Kanto}}" can be seen. A mountain range in the background may be the same one that contains [[Mt. Moon]], {{OBP|Victory Road|Kanto}}, [[Cerulean Cave]], and [[Mt. Silver]]. There is also a minor building with some blurry text that seems to start with "F", so it could possibly be the [[Fighting Dojo]].

Certain Pokémon will emerge from the elevator in the Silph Co. building and attack briefly, similar to Pokémon summoned from {{i|Poké Ball}}s. Occasionally, {{p|Pidgey}}, {{p|Fearow}}, {{p|Butterfree}}, and {{p|Moltres}} will appear in the background.

During the game's intro, {{p|Pikachu}} can be seen rolling on a Poké Ball as a person walks by.

===Pokémon Pinball===
In {{g|Pinball}}, Saffron City appears on the Blue table. Catchable {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} include {{p|Ekans}}, {{p|Sandshrew}}, {{p|Vulpix}}, {{p|Meowth}}, {{p|Growlithe}}, {{p|Hitmonlee}}, {{p|Hitmonchan}} and {{p|Lapras}}.

==In animation==
[[File:Saffron City anime.png|thumb|250px|Saffron City in {{aniseries|OS}}]]
===''Pokémon the Series''===
===={{aniseries|OS}}====
Saffron City debuted in ''[[EP022|Abra and the Psychic Showdown]]''. {{Ash}}, {{an|Misty}}, and {{an|Brock}} were initially caught and trapped by {{TRT}}, but were soon freed by a mysterious little girl, who turned out to be [[Sabrina]]'s doll. Wanting to earn the {{Badge|Marsh}}, Ash entered the [[Saffron Gym]] and challenged Sabrina into a battle, using his {{AP|Pikachu}} against Sabrina's {{p|Abra}}. During the battle, Abra evolved into a {{TP|Sabrina|Kadabra}} and easily overwhelmed Pikachu, making Ash eventually give up. Following the advice of [[Sabrina's father|a mysterious man]], Ash headed to [[Lavender Town]] to obtain a {{type|Ghost}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} so he could have another battle with Sabrina.

Ash and {{ashfr}} returned to Saffron City in ''[[EP024|Haunter versus Kadabra]]'', accompanied by a {{TP|Sabrina|Haunter}} Ash had befriended at the [[Pokémon Tower]]. Unfortunately, Haunter preferred comedy over battling, and disappeared before the [[rematch]]. Ash managed to find Haunter again, but it disappeared yet again when Ash re-entered the Gym. To protect Ash, Pikachu faced Sabrina's Kadabra. After a while, Haunter reappeared and made Sabrina laugh for the first time in years. As her Kadabra was rendered unable to battle by the laughter, Sabrina gave Ash the Marsh Badge and kept Haunter with her.

===={{aniseries|GS}}====
In ''[[EP159|A Dairy Tale Ending]]'', Team Rocket's uncontrolled ride down the incomplete [[Magnet Train]] line on a handcar from [[EP158|the previous episode]] was revealed to have ended in a collision into a brick wall in Saffron City, forcing them to walk all the way back to [[Johto]].

===={{aniseries|RS}}====

The [[Battle Arena]] is also located near Saffron City.

In ''[[AG139|On Cloud Arcanine]]'', [[Drew]] informed {{an|May}} that a [[Pokémon Contest]] was scheduled to be held at Saffron City. In ''[[AG143|The Saffron Con]]'', Ash, May, [[Max]], and Brock arrived there and met [[Harley]], who was assisting [[Nurse Joy]] at the local [[Pokémon Center]]. Managing to gain May's trust by telling a convenient truth verified by Nurse Joy, Harley then tried to make May arrive late to receiving her [[Kanto]] [[Contest Pass]] by giving her the wrong time for the deadline. In the meantime, May assisted in stopping one of Team Rocket's Pokémon-stealing schemes. While she arrived past the deadline, [[Lilian Meridian|Lilian]] told the receptionist about May's heroic efforts in saving many {{pkmn|Coordinator}}s' Pokémon from Team Rocket, allowing her to still receive her Contest Pass and register for the Saffron Contest.

The Contest took place in ''[[AG144|A Hurdle for Squirtle]]'', which Harley entered with his {{TP|Harley|Cacturne}}, [[Jessie|Jessebella]] entered with {{TP|James|Cacnea}}, and May entered with her {{TP|May|Combusken}} and {{TP|May|Squirtle}}. The three of them were able to impress the [[Contest Judge]]s enough to advance to the [[Contest Battle|Battle Stage]]. There, Harley defeated Jessebella and quickly made his way to the final round, where he found himself up against May. Using his {{p|Ariados}} against her Squirtle, Harley held the upper hand for most of their battle, having lowered May's score considerably. However, Squirtle ended up [[Fainting|knocking out]] Ariados, making May the winner of the Saffron Contest. This victory earned May the Saffron [[Ribbon]], her first Kanto Ribbon.

In ''[[AG145|Pasta La Vista!]]'', May and Brock decided to visit Saffron City's most famous noodle house, known for a dish called "battle noodles". However, the owner was soon called away to attend to business at the [[Fighting Dojo]]. Ash and Max met the Fighting Dojo's owner, [[Master Hamm]], and soon caught up with May and Brock, who followed the noodle shop owner, [[Kyle Hamm|Kyle]], who was also Master Hamm's son. Eventually, the father and son came to an understanding, with Kyle returning to his noodle business while dojo student [[Terri]] agreed to take over the dojo from Master Hamm.

===={{aniseries|DP}}====
In [[DPS02]], Brock met a Nurse Joy who had once served at the Saffron City Pokémon Center, but was now a top agent of the [[Pokémon Inspection Agency]].

===={{aniseries|BW}}====
In ''[[BW065|Battling the Bully!]]'', [[Sean]] mentioned having visited Saffron City with his family in the past.

In ''[[BW141|Best Wishes Until We Meet Again!]]'', Saffron City was revealed to have a train station. {{an|Iris}} and {{an|Cilan}} made plans to travel from [[Vermilion City]] via this train and get off at Saffron City's station to continue on to [[Goldenrod City]] in Johto using the Magnet Train line.

===={{aniseries|JN}}====
In ''[[JN034|Solitary and Menacing!]]'', Ash and [[Goh]] visited the Fighting Dojo. There, Ash faced and lost to [[Bea]] in a [[World Coronation Series]] match, while Goh won himself a {{DL|List of Goh's Pokémon|Hitmonchan}}.

===Pokémon Origins===
[[File:Saffron City PO.png|thumb|250px|Saffron City in [[Pokémon Origins]]]]
Saffron City appeared in ''[[PO03|File 3: Giovanni]]''. Soon after arriving at the city, {{OBP|Red|Origins}} encountered {{OBP|Blue|Origins}}, and together they saved a woman from being harassed by [[Team Rocket]]. The woman revealed herself to be the [[Silph Co.]]'s president's secretary, and told the two Trainers that Team Rocket had taken over the company, intending to steal the [[Master Ball]] they were developing. Wanting to free the Pokémon used in the development tests, Red stormed the Silph Co., releasing all the imprisoned Pokémon and {{tc|Scientist}}s inside. At the top floor, he encountered the Boss of Team Rocket, [[Giovanni]]. He had a battle against the criminal leader, but was easily defeated, and Giovanni got away.

Following the Silph Co. incident, Red challenged Sabrina to a Gym battle and defeated her, earning the Marsh Badge. Afterwards, he challenged the [[Koichi|Karate Master]] at the [[Fighting Dojo]] and won, earning himself a {{p|Hitmonlee}} or {{p|Hitmonchan}} as a reward.

==In the manga==
===Pokémon Adventures===
[[File:Saffron City Adventures.png|thumb|230px|Saffron City in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
===={{MangaArc|Red, Green & Blue}}====
Saffron City first appeared in ''[[PS026|Holy Moltres]]'' and ''[[PS027|Kalling Kadabra]]'', where it was revealed that [[Team Rocket]] had managed to capture all three {{adv|legendary birds}} and was keeping their base at the [[Silph Co.]] building, along with the citizens of [[Pallet Town]], whom they had kidnapped. Due to guards blocking the [[gate]]s and an invisible barrier surrounding the city, it seemed impossible to get in. However, thanks to some cooperation between {{adv|Red}} and {{adv|Blue}}, they were able to discover that the barrier was actually a {{m|Light Screen}} cast by a {{p|Mr. Mime}}, and defeat it using teamwork between [[Pika|Red's Pikachu]]'s {{m|Substitute}} clone and [[Blue's Golduck]], lifting the barrier and allowing the [[Pokédex holder]]s to enter the city.

The Pokédex holders subsequently stormed the Silph Co. and battled against the evil [[Gym Leader]]s serving for Team Rocket; [[Lt. Surge]], [[Koga]], and [[Sabrina]], and the legendary birds they controlled. Using a device called the Badge Energy Amplifier, {{adv|Green}} accidentally {{pkmn|fusion|fused}} the three legendary birds into one being, {{DL|Legendary birds (Adventures)|Thu-Fi-Zer}}. With their combined efforts, the three Pallet Town Trainers managed to defeat the creature and separate it back into its three original forms, which then fled. The building proceeded to collapse into ruins during the ensuing chaos.

During the Silph Co. battle, lower members of Team Rocket tried to escape the city, but were all caught by the Gym Leaders of Justice ([[Brock]], [[Misty]], and [[Erika]]) and their allies outside the city gates.

===={{MangaArc|Yellow}}====
In ''[[PS041|Ponyta Tale]]'', two years after Team Rocket's defeat, [[Agatha]] was seen picking up the Badge Energy Amplifier from the ruins of the Silph Co.

===Pokémon Zensho===
[[File:Saffron City Zensho.png|thumb|210px|Saffron City in [[Pokémon Zensho]]]]
{{zensho|Satoshi}} visited Saffron City in [[PZ07]]. From the [[Koichi|Karate Master]], he learned that [[Gym Leader]] [[Sabrina]] was trying to rescue the [[Silph Co.]] from the hands of [[Team Rocket]], so he went after her to help. Inside the occupied office building, Satoshi found both Sabrina and a {{pkmn2|talking}} {{p|Lapras}} that she had befriended while infiltrating the building. With Sabrina's teleportation powers, they made their way to the top floor, where [[Giovanni]] was holding that Silph Co. president hostage. Satoshi fought Giovanni's {{p|Nidoqueen}} with Lapras and was able to force him to retreat. As thanks, the president gave Satoshi the [[Master Ball]], while Sabrina gave him a {{badge|Marsh}}, and Lapras joined Satoshi on his travels.

==Trivia==
[[File:Saffron City unused FRLG.png|thumb|200px|The unused map of Saffron City from FireRed and LeafGreen]]
* In {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, if the overworld's collision data is bypassed in order to skip any of the [[gate]]s surrounding the city, the player will access an alternate version of Saffron City, where all warps and events are absent. This is because the real Saffron City is not directly connected to its adjacent routes so the game loads a copy of the map that assures the continuity of the overworld.

'''Celadon City''' (Japanese: '''タマムシシティ''' ''Tamamushi City'') is located in central [[Kanto]]. It is the most populous city in Kanto and the eighth most populous in the [[Pokémon world]], surpassing even [[Saffron City]] in the east. The city has two entrances, one from the east via {{rt|7|Kanto}}, and one from the west via {{rt|16|Kanto}}.

Celadon is the main place to spend money in Kanto, through the [[Celadon Department Store]] and the [[Celadon Game Corner]]. It is the home of the [[Celadon Condominiums]], where residents of the city live, and the Celadon Hotel, where visitors can rest. Celadon is also home to [[Erika]], the city's [[Gym Leader]], and [[Eusine]], the hunter who pursues {{p|Suicune}}.

==Places of interest==
===Celadon Department Store===
{{main|Celadon Department Store}}
Celadon's department store is the largest building in the city, as well as the largest shop in [[Kanto]]. It is located in the northwest corner of the city. The store has two sliding door entrances, and is six stories high, including a rooftop floor.

===Celadon Condominiums===
{{main|Celadon Condominiums}}
Celadon Condominiums (known as Celadon Mansion prior to [[Generation IV]]) is located next to the [[Pokémon Center]].

In the [[Generation I]] games and {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, the {{player}} can find a Poké Ball containing an {{p|Eevee}} here. [[Game Freak]] has an office in this building, where the player can receive a [[diploma]] from the lead developer if they have completed their Pokédex.

In {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, this is where the player obtains the [[Tea]], which is required to enter Saffron City. In [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], the player receives the Tea from [[Brock]] in front of the building.

===Celadon Game Corner===
{{main|Celadon Game Corner}}
[[File:Celadon Game Corner Inside FRLG.png|240px|thumb|Celadon Game Corner]]
The Celadon Game Corner is located in the southeast of the city. It was originally run by [[Team Rocket]], being known as the Rocket Game Corner while under their management. The [[Team Rocket Hideout]] is located underneath it; the staircase to the base is revealed by pressing a switch hidden behind a poster.

In the Generation I to IV games, the Game Corner consists of two adjacent buildings: the Game Corner proper (the larger building on the west) and the Prize Corner (the smaller building on the east). The main building contains the casino itself, where the player can earn [[Coin (Game Corner)|Coins]]; the Prize Corner is where the player can exchange Coins for prizes, including Pokémon, [[TM]]s, and other items. In [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], the Game Corner is one building with two entrances; the space on the west side contains the {{wp|amusement arcade|arcade}} while the space on the east side is just a sitting area.

In Generation IV, there is a man in the Prize Corner building who can tell the player the type of their Pokémon's {{m|Hidden Power}}.

===Team Rocket Hideout===
{{main|Team Rocket Hideout}}
The Team Rocket Hideout is an underground four-floor-deep complex beneath the Rocket Game Corner. The Rocket Hideout is accessed by pressing a switch behind a poster in the [[Celadon Game Corner|Game Corner]] in Celadon City. In the [[Generation]] {{gen|I}}, {{gen|III}}, and {{gen|VII}} games, the player must go into the underbelly of the Game Corner and defeat Team Rocket.

===Celadon Hotel===
[[File:Capsule Monsters Hotel.jpg|thumb|250px|[[Ken Sugimori]]'s [[Capsule Monsters|concept art]] for a hotel that bears resemblance to a [[Pokémon Center]], much like the Celadon Hotel.]]
The Celadon Hotel is a luxurious hotel building located in the southeastern part of the city. The player is not able to rent a room due to all the rooms being booked. The hotel's layout is remarkably similar to a Pokémon Center. The hotel is closed in Generation II and IV.

In {{game|Red and Blue|s}} (but not {{game|Yellow}}), there is an {{DL|List of glitches in Generation I|invisible PC access|invisible PC}} in the hotel; it is speculated that this is an oversight that occurred due to the interior of the hotel being created by copying a Pokémon Center's layout, but the code that allows the player to activate the PC at that position was mistakenly not removed.

===Move Tutors===
The man who can only be accessed by Surf gives out {{TM|41|Softboiled}} in [[Generation I]]. In [[Generation III]], he instead offers to directly teach this move to certain Pokémon.

{{tutormv/header|frlg|no|no}}
{{tutormv|Softboiled|Normal|tm=41}}

|}

In [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], a {{tc|Tamer}} in the [[Pokémon Center]] will teach the player's {{OBP|Partner Pokémon|Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!}} [[signature moves|exclusive moves]].

===Fortune Teller===
In Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!, on the left side of the [[Pokémon Center]] is a {{tc|Channeler}} called Madam Celadon with her {{p|Abra}}. For {{pdollar}}10,000, Madam Celadon can influence the [[Nature]] of [[wild Pokémon]] they encounter for the rest of the day. Nature is determined with two questions; the first question determining the Nature's strength, and the second determining its weakness. The following chart describes the possible results.

Due to lack of {{pkmn|breeding}} and [[Ability|Abilities]], this is the only way to influence Natures in these games.

===Celadon Gym===
{{main|Celadon Gym}}
The Celadon Gym is the official [[Gym]] of Celadon City. It is based on {{type|Grass}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. The [[Gym Leader]] is [[Erika]]. {{pkmn|Trainer}}s who defeat her receive the {{Badge|Rainbow}}.

The Celadon Gym is a garden full of Trainers. It is impossible to reach Erika without fighting at least one other Trainer and using {{m|Cut}}{{sup/1}}{{sup/2}}{{sup/3|FRLG}}{{sup/4|HGSS}}/[[Secret Technique|Chop Down]].{{sup/7|PE}} In all versions and adaptations of Pokémon, Celadon Gym is consistently rendered as a greenhouse.

==Differences between generations==
Between [[Generation I]] and {{gen|III}}, there have been some little and unnoticeable changes to Celadon City. Mostly, there are only aesthetic changes between building designs. A fountain has been added to the western side of the city. The small pond in the center of the city now has small hints of pollution, with {{p|Grimer}} and {{p|Koffing}} appearing on rare occasions, as an allusion to [[Generation II|the previous generation]].

In [[Generation II]], Celadon City has changed quite a bit. Some buildings have been removed and some have been added. There is a café located on the eastern side of town, and the Department Store has been moved to the far western side of town. Over the course of two years, the small pond has grown very polluted; only {{p|Grimer}} and {{p|Muk}} can be found there. Like Generation III, [[Generation IV]] has the added fountain to the western side of the city. The central pond has been extended southward with a bridge going across it.

==In the spin-off games==

==In animation==
[[File:Celadon Skyline.png|thumb|250px|Celadon City in {{aniseries|OS}}]]
===''Pokémon the Series''===
===={{aniseries|OS}}====
Celadon City first appeared in ''[[EP026|Pokémon Scent-sation!]]'', where {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} visited it so that Ash could earn his fifth [[Badge]] at the Celadon Gym. However, due to him insulting the perfumes at a local store managed by [[Gym Leader]] [[Erika]], the Gym Trainers refused to let Ash enter the Gym out of spite. Desperate to earn his Badge, Ash reluctantly teamed up with {{TRT}} and snuck into the Gym disguised as a girl named "{{DL|Cross-dressing|Ashley}}". Although his disguise was soon found out, Erika still accepted his challenge for a battle, which ended up being interrupted when Team Rocket set the Gym on fire. After the fire had been put out, Erika gave Ash a {{badge|Rainbow}} as thanks for saving her {{p|Gloom}} from the flames.

Ash and his friends briefly revisited Celadon City in ''[[EP029|The Punchy Pokémon]]'' after they just left it. Although it is not mentioned in the episode, according to official art for the [[P1 Grand Prix]] from the [[Game Freak]] website, the P1 Grand Prix takes place in the Celadon City Hall.

===={{aniseries|GS}}====
In ''[[EP136|Chikorita's Big Upset]]'', it was mentioned that Celadon City has a [[Celadon University|university]], where the episode's [[Nurse Joy]] studied Pokémon psychology. In ''[[EP163|Fossil Fools]]'', it was revealed that {{an|Professor Oak}} used to teach there, and [[Foster]] was one of his top students.

===={{aniseries|JN}}====
In ''[[JN094|Suffering the Flings and Arrows!]]'', [[Chloe]] decided to visit the Celadon Gym in order to attend a [[Pokémon Flower Arrangement]] class held by Erika, so that her {{TP|Chloe|Eevee}} could meet Erika's {{p|Leafeon}}. To her surprise, Ash and [[Goh]] joined her on the trip as well, with Goh hoping to use it as an opportunity to help his {{TP|Goh|Pinsir}} win back his {{TP|Goh|Heracross}}'s love. The class ended up being interrupted by Team Rocket, but Pinsir's efforts in battling the villainous trio and defending Heracross from them proved equally effective in it regaining Heracross's affection.

===''I Choose You!''===
[[File:Celadon Gym M20.png|thumb|250px|Celadon City in ''[[M20|I Choose You!]]'']]
In ''[[M20|I Choose You!]]'', which is set in [[I Choose You! trilogy|an alternate continuity]] from {{aniseries|PTS}}, {{OBP|Ash Ketchum|M20|Ash}} was shown challenging and defeating [[Erika]] at the Celadon City Gym, earning his third Badge from her.

===Pokémon Origins===
{{OBP|Red|Origins}} was briefly seen visiting Celadon City in ''[[PO03|File 3: Giovanni]]''. After defeating Erika and earning the Rainbow Badge, he followed a "suspicious-looking guy" to a place that turned out to be [[Team Rocket Hideout|Team Rocket's secret hideout]]. There, he released several Pokémon imprisoned by Team Rocket and had his first encounter with the leader of the organization, [[Giovanni]].

===Pokémon Generations===
The [[Celadon Game Corner]] briefly appeared in ''[[PG02|The Chase]]'', showing the [[International Police]] raiding the building and arresting several members of Team Rocket.
{{-}}

==In the manga==
===Pokémon Adventures===
[[File:Celadon City Adventures.png|thumb|200px|Celadon City in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
Like in the {{pkmn|animated series}}, Celadon City has a [[Celadon University|university]], at which Erika teaches in addition to her duties as Gym Leader.

===={{MangaArc|Red, Green & Blue}}====
Celadon City first appeared from ''[[PS015|Wartortle Wars]]'' to ''[[PS020|Meanwhile...Vileplume!]]''. After being fooled into buying a lot of expensive [[item]]s, all of which later turned out to be fake, from {{adv|Green}}, {{adv|Red}} encountered her again trying to sell her items to the people of Celadon. Upon noticing Red, she tried to get away with her [[Blasty|Wartortle]], but was stopped by Red and his [[Snor]]lax. When Red later went to spend night at the Celadon Hotel, he was enraged to find out that Green had secretly stolen his {{badge|Boulder|Boulder}} and {{badge|Cascade}}s.

After having an encounter with [[Team Rocket]] and {{adv|Mew}}, and supposedly recovering his Badges, Red encountered [[Erika]], the Celadon City Gym Leader. She offered to accept Red's challenge for a battle if he caught her an {{p|Eevee}}. With the help of {{adv|Bill}}, Red soon found an [[Vee|Eevee]], but it turned out to be a modified Eevee, capable of changing into [[Eeveelution|its Evolutions]] and [[Devolution|back]]. After catching the Eevee, Red learned from Erika that the Eevee had been tested by Team Rocket, and she had wanted to test Red if he'd be a good ally in a fight against the evil organization.

===={{MangaArc|Yellow}}====
In ''[[PS046|Whacked by Marowak!]]'', {{adv|Yellow}} ended up in Celadon City after having escaped from [[Lorelei]], and was greeted by Erika and several of her students. {{tc|Super Nerd}} {{adv|Miles}}, sent to capture [[Pika]] by [[Agatha]], then appeared, disguised as Red. He knocked Erika out, overwhelmed Yellow, and tried to escape with Pika, but was stopped by the four "Gym Leaders of Justice". Agatha's {{p|Gastly}} then tried to kill Miles to silence him, but was stopped by {{adv|Blue}}. Afterwards, Blue and Yellow left to train together at {{rt|9|Kanto}}.

Starting from ''[[PS065|Karate Machop!]]'', Celadon City was attacked by an army of {{p|Shellder}} and {{p|Cloyster}}, sent by Lorelei. While protecting her Gym, Erika found out that the [[Elite Four]] were after her Badge. After Yellow defeated [[Lance]] at [[Cerise Island]], the Pokémon army lost its strength.

Celadon City appeared in ''[[PM009|Pikachu Was Kidnapped!!]]'', where {{PPM|Red}} and his Pokémon ventured to the Game Corner, winning a lot of [[Coin (Game Corner)|Coins]]. Team Rocket tried to steal {{PPM|Red's Pikachu}}, but were stopped by {{TP|Red|Clefairy}}.

===Pokémon Zensho===
Celadon City appeared in [[PZ05]], where {{zensho|Satoshi}} visited the city. Originally, he merely followed a pair of {{tc|Team Rocket Grunt}}s from [[Lavender Town]] in order to get a [[Silph Scope]], but after snatching one from the [[Team Rocket Hideout]], he noticed the Gym and decided to challenge it as well. During the Gym battle with Erika, {{zensho|Satoshi's Charmeleon}} accidentally set Erika's kimono on fire, but saved her by {{m|slash}}ing off the burning part. Seeing how well Satoshi had raised his Pokémon, Erika gave him a {{badge|Rainbow}}.

==Trivia==
* Many [[Gym Leader]]s have appeared at one point or another within Celadon City. [[Erika]], as its own Gym Leader, resides there, while [[Jasmine]], [[Falkner]], [[Janine]], [[Maylene]], and [[Crasher Wake]] stop by at times during {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}. [[Giovanni]] also appears here during [[Generation I]] and {{game3|FireRed and LeafGreen|its remakes|s}}, as the Rocket Boss in [[Team Rocket Hideout|the hideout]] under the [[Celadon Game Corner|Game Corner]], while {{ga|Blue}} is known to have visited the city to challenge Erika in Generation I and its remakes. {{an|Brock}} and {{an|Misty}} also have visited the city, along with {{Ash}}, in the ''[[Pokémon the Series]]'' episode ''[[EP026|Pokémon Scent-sation!]]''.
* In the [[Generation I]] games, the two {{tc|Team Rocket Grunt}}s that can be seen in the city remain even after [[Team Rocket]] is thwarted by the player at [[Silph Co.]] This was changed in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}.
** However, a pair of grunts in the house near the restaurant remain even after the player has entered the [[Hall of Fame]].
* Celadon City is one of two cities that is more populous than the largest city in its region, the other being [[Nimbasa City]]. They are more populous than [[Saffron City]] and [[Castelia City]], respectively. This also happens in Sinnoh, but only in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}} where [[Hearthome City]] is more populous than [[Jubilife City]].
** Coincidentally, Nimbasa City and Celadon City are both home to the fourth Gyms of their regions.
* In the Japanese version of the [[Generation I]] and [[Generation II|II]] games, there are [[wikipedia:Butsudan|butsudan]] (Buddhist shrines) in some Celadon City buildings. They return the text "ぶつだんだ……" (It's a butsudan...) in Generation I and "ぶつだんだ…… うーんおせんこうのにおい" (It's a butsudan... Hmm, the smell of incense.) in Generation II.
** In the English version, the references to butsudan were removed from the text. Instead, they return the text "It's a sculpture of DIGLETT." in Generation I and "What is this? Oh, it's an incense burner!" in Generation II.
** These objects are absent from the [[Generation III]] and [[Generation IV|IV]] remakes of these games.
* In the [[Pokémon Pocket Monsters]] manga, Celadon City's design is heavily based on the historic {{wp|Fremont Street}} in {{wp|Las Vegas}}.
* Though it isn't shown in the games, Celadon City is home to the [[Celadon University]]. Its alumni include [[Bill]], [[Celio]], Kazuki, and [[Professor Westwood V|Professor Westwood]].<ref>https://www.pokemon.jp/special/moyadoga/guide/science.html</ref>
** [[Hammerlocke]] in [[Galar]] is similarly known to have a university that the player cannot visit.

'''Vermilion City''' (Japanese: '''{{j|クチバシティ}}''' ''Kuchiba City'') is a city in [[Kanto]].

Situated near a sea inlet to the south, it serves as a popular sea port for ships such as the [[S.S. Anne]]. Vermilion Port is a home port for many ships. The S.S. Anne sails around the world and returns to Vermilion once a year. The [[S.S. Aqua]] sails from [[Olivine City]] in [[Johto]] to Vermilion Port. The [[Seagallop|Seagallop Ferries]] sail regularly to all of the [[Sevii Islands]]. Aside from the port, the other exits to the city are {{rt|11|Kanto}} and [[Diglett's Cave]] to the east. North of the city is {{rt|6|Kanto}}.

==Slogan==
'''''The Port of Exquisite Sunsets''''' (Japanese, Generations I–III, VII: '''{{j|クチバはオレンジ{{tt|夕焼|ゆうや}}けの{{tt|色|いろ}}}}''' ''Kuchiba is the color of orange sunsets.''; Generation IV: '''{{j|ゆうやけいろのみなとまち}}''' ''The sunset-colored port town.'')

==Places of interest==
Vermilion City is home to the "Lightning American" [[Lt. Surge]], the [[Gym Leader|Leader]] of the {{t|Electric}}-specialist [[Vermilion Gym|Gym]]. The people in the town are careful about pollution, as they are afraid that an infestation of {{p|Grimer}} could occur if the seas were ever polluted, as [[Celadon City]] suffers from this in the [[Johto]]-based games. In [[Generation I|Generations I]] to {{gen|IV}}, [[wild Pokémon]] appear in the sea around the city.

Vermilion is also home to the {{pkmn|Fan Club Chairman}}. He can be found in the [[Pokémon Fan Club]] house located just slightly north of the [[Vermilion Gym|Gym]]. By talking to him, the {{player}} can obtain a [[Bike Voucher|voucher]] for a free [[bicycle|bike]],{{sup/1}}{{sup/3|FRLG}} a [[Rare Candy]],{{sup/2}}{{sup/4|HGSS}} or special [[List of clothing in Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!|clothing]] sets.{{sup/7|PE}}

In {{game|Yellow}}, an [[Officer Jenny]] found here will give out a {{p|Squirtle}} if the {{player}} has received the {{Badge|Thunder}}. In {{LGPE}}, she instead gives it to the player if they've caught at least 60 individual Pokémon.

===Pokémon Fan Club===

{{sign|DPcity|footer}}

The [[Kanto]] chapter of the [[Pokémon Fan Club]] is located in Vermilion. The Pokémon Fan Club is an organization spread throughout the Pokémon world, with at least one Club House in nearly every [[region]]. The Fan Club is a place for people to meet and chat about their favorite Pokémon and to show off their collections to each other. In general, the members are usually more oriented to unevolved, cute Pokémon.

By talking to the {{pkmn||Fan Club Chairman}}, he will start a long talk with the {{player}}. He talks about his two favorite Pokémon, {{p|Rapidash}} and {{p|Fearow}} at length and then gives the {{player}} a [[Bike Voucher|voucher]] to get a [[bicycle]],{{sup/1}}{{sup/3|FRLG}} a [[Rare Candy]],{{sup/2}}{{sup/4|HGSS}} or [[List of clothing in Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!|clothing]] sets for the player based on {{p|Pikachu}}{{sup/7|P}} or {{p|Eevee}},{{sup/7|E}} or clothing sets for both the player and their {{OBP|Partner Pokémon|Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!}} based on {{p|Raichu}}{{sup/7|P}} or the [[Eeveelution]]s.{{sup/7|E}} In {{game|Yellow}}, he has a new hobby: taking Pokémon photos. The big photos of his {{p|Rapidash}} and {{p|Fearow}} can be seen on the walls of the clubhouse.

===Vermilion Gym===
{{main|Vermilion Gym}}
[[File:Vermilion Gym FRLG.png|thumb|Vermilion Gym in FireRed and LeafGreen]]
The Vermilion Gym is the official [[Gym]] of Vermilion City. Its [[Gym Leader]], [[Lt. Surge]], focuses on {{type|Electric}} Pokémon. {{pkmn|Trainer}}s who defeat him receive the {{badge|Thunder}}. The [[Vermilion Gym]] appears in all games set in the [[Kanto]] region, appearing much the same in each: the main room is filled with 15 trash cans, and {{pkmn|Trainer}}s are scattered about this room. Beyond this room is another, guarded by electric doors in [[Generation I]], and an electric fence in [[Generation III]] and {{gen|VII}}. The only way to get in the final room in these [[generation]]s, where [[Lt. Surge]] is located, is to find two switches underneath the trash cans. If the first switch was found, but the {{player}} incorrectly guessed the second one, the traps would reset. In [[Generation II]], these traps are not turned on. After [[Lt. Surge]] is defeated, he will give the {{player}} the Thunder Badge, {{TM|24|Thunderbolt}}{{sup/1}}/{{TM|34|Shock Wave}}{{sup/3|FRLG}}{{sup/4|HGSS}}/{{TM|36|Thunderbolt}},{{sup/7|PE}} Surge's [[Autograph]],{{sup/7|PE}} and the ability to use {{m|Fly}} outside of {{pkmn|battle}}.{{sup/1}}{{sup/3|FRLG}}

===Construction site===
In the northeastern part of the city, there is an old man whose {{p|Machop}} is preparing a plot of land for construction of a building. They still have not finished three years after he started in [[Generation I]], as he does not have enough money to begin building. This man's Machop can cause [[Glitch dimension|a glitch]] in [[Generation II]]. In [[Generation IV]], the construction site consumes most of the north-eastern side of the city, playing a slightly bigger role in the game; there are many [[breakable rock]]s surrounding the building site that conceal many hidden items such as [[Shard]]s, [[Heart Scale]]s, and other [[valuable item]]s.

===In-game trade===
In one of the houses south and a little east of the [[Pokémon Center]] is a girl that wants to [[trade]] the player a {{p|Farfetch'd}} for a {{p|Pidgey}} (in [[Pokémon Blue Version (Japanese)|Japanese Blue]]) or {{p|Spearow}}.{{sup/1}}{{sup/3|FRLG}} The Farfetch'd will be nicknamed "<sc>Dux</sc>" in [[Generation I]] or "<sc>Ch'ding</sc>" in [[Generation III]], and it will be holding a [[Leek|Stick]] in Generation III. The [[Original Trainer|OT]] will be "<sc>Elyssa</sc>" and its [[Trainer ID number|ID]] will be 08810. The Pokémon's [[level]] will be the same as the one that the player traded.

Although the sprite and name of the owner are female, <sc>Ch'ding</sc>'s [[original Trainer]] data defines <sc>Elyssa</sc> as male, likely as an error. In FireRed and LeafGreen, this is undifferentiable from a female original Trainer, but if <sc>Ch'ding</sc> is [[trade]]d to {{3v2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}} or transferred forward to [[Generation IV]] (via [[Pal Park]]), the OT name is shown colored blue.

In [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], this house is occupied by a {{tc|Gentleman}} who owns a Farfetch'd, again nicknamed Dux like the girl from Generation I's Farfetch'd, but he instead intends to catch Spearow himself.

In Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee, a {{tc|Hiker}} in the Pokémon Center will trade an {{rf|Alolan}} {{p|Geodude}} for a Geodude from [[Kanto]]. This can be done repeatedly.

===Fishing Brother===
In [[Generation I|Generations I]] and {{gen|III}}, a man known as the Fishing Guru can be found in Vermilion City. He gives away an [[Old Rod]] to the player. Later (in the [[Johto]]-based games), he is known as the Fishing Dude and claims to be the eldest of the [[Fishing Brothers]].

===Sleeping Pokémon notice===
In [[Generation I|Generations I]], {{gen|III}}, and {{gen|VII}}, there is a notice near the entrance to [[Diglett's Cave]] about a {{p|Snorlax|sleeping Pokémon}} blocking {{rt|12|Kanto}}. The notice advises people wishing to go to [[Lavender Town]] to detour through the [[Rock Tunnel]] instead in the meantime.

==Demographics==
===Pokémon Red and Blue===
In {{game|Red and Blue|s}}, the population of Vermilion City is 25 (not including the passengers on the [[S.S. Anne]]).

===Pokémon Yellow===
In {{game|Yellow}}, the population of Vermilion City has increased to 26 (not including the passengers on the S.S. Anne). This is because Officer Jenny has been added.

===Pokémon Gold, Silver, and Crystal===
In {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}, the population of Vermilion City is 30. The increase in population is possibly due to the addition of the port building.

===Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen===

===Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver===
In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, the population of Vermilion City is 34; the population has increased by five since {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, possibly due to the addition of the port building.

==Differences among generations==
[[File:Vermilion City port HGSS.png|thumb|Vermilion Port in [[Generation IV]]]]
Much has changed from [[Generation I]] to [[Generation III]]. Most of the city is now covered in grass and sandy patches along the shoreline. The construction site has grown, while the [[Pokémon Fan Club]] has been redesigned and expanded. The [[S.S. Anne]]'s port has also had an archway added to the entrance. In [[Generation II]] nothing major has changed, though the city has extended into {{rt|11|Kanto}} near [[Diglett's Cave]] and the Vermilion City port has been redesigned into a building, where the [[S.S. Aqua]] transports passengers to and from [[Olivine City]] in [[Johto]]. Also, Snorlax was also relocated from Route 12 to the entrance to Diglett's Cave. To move it, Trainers had to use a [[Pokégear]] tuned to the PokéFlute Channel, as the Poké Flute did not exist in the [[Generation II]] games. In [[Generation IV]], [[Diglett's Cave]] is pushed back to {{rt|11|Kanto}}.

===''Pokémon the Series''===
===={{aniseries|OS}}====
Vermilion City debuted in ''[[EP014|Electric Shock Showdown]]'', where {{Ash}} battled Lt. Surge for his third Badge. The harbor appeared in ''[[EP015|Battle Aboard the St. Anne]]'', when Ash, {{an|Misty}}, and {{an|Brock}} boarded the [[S.S. Anne|St. Anne]].

===={{aniseries|DP}}====
In ''[[DP124|To Thine Own Pokémon Be True!]]'', [[O]] was revealed to have a Pokémon Ping-Pong center in Vermilion City. [[Dawn's Ambipom]] is currently training there.

===={{aniseries|BW}}====
In ''[[BW141|Best Wishes Until We Meet Again!]]'', Ash and {{ashfr}}' tour of the [[Decolore Islands]] ended at Vermilion City. The city was shown to have a local train station, with {{an|Iris}} and {{an|Cilan}} taking the train to [[Saffron City]] in order to board the [[Magnet Train]] there. [[Alexa]] also bought {{p|Cloyster}} boxed lunches for the two, which is exclusively sold in Vermilion City.

===={{aniseries|JN}}====
Vermilion City had a prominent role as the hometown of [[Goh]] and [[Chloe]]. [[Professor Cerise]]'s aptly-named [[Cerise Laboratory]] was officially opened there in ''[[JN002|Legend? Go! Friends? Go!]]''. Goh and Ash became Cerise's [[Professor's assistant|research assistant]]s after documenting their chance encounter with a {{p|Lugia}}, and resided at the Cerise Laboratory during this series. Professor Cerise's daughter Chloe also lives in the city and attends a local school. In ''[[JN011|Best Friend...Worst Nightmare!]]'', Chloe was shown to live in a house with her father, [[Talia|mother]], and [[Parker|younger brother]]. In ''[[JN015|A Snow Day for Searching!]]'', Goh was shown to have grown up in an apartment building with his [[Walker|father]], [[Camille|mother]], and [[Halta|grandmother]]. In ''[[JN040|A Crackling Raid Battle!]]'', the [[Kanto Power Plant]] was revealed to be located near Vermilion City.

In ''[[JN003|Ivysaur's Mysterious Tower!]]'', an outbreak of {{p|Bulbasaur}} and {{p|Ivysaur}}, a part of natural phenomena known as the "Ivysaur march", was causing traffic and minor chaos across the city. The {{t|Grass}} Pokémon made their way to their former grassland, to the north of Vermilion, which is now a construction site for a new {{OBP|Gym|GO}}. After scaling the building, the Ivysaur and Bulbasaur [[Evolution|evolved]] together and released pollen into the air, causing all of the city's flowers to bloom.

In ''[[JN047|Crowning the Chow Crusher!]]'', Ash, Goh, and {{TRT}} participated in the [[Pokémon Grand Eating Contest]] in Vermilion City, with Goh eventually winning.

Ash and Goh both left Vermilion City in ''[[JN136|This Could be the Start of Something Big!]]'' to start traveling on their own. Ash revisited the city in ''[[JN141|A Squad's Worth of Passion!]]'' alongside Brock and Misty. During said visit, he briefly reunited with his {{AP|Squirtle}} and the [[Squirtle Squad]], and helped them in dealing with a warehouse fire.

===Pokémon Origins===
Although Vermilion City was never properly seen in [[Pokémon Origins]], {{OBP|Red|Origins}} recalled having visited it prior to the events of ''[[PO02|File 2: Cubone]]''. During his visit, he obtained the [[HM]] for {{m|Cut}} from the captain of [[S.S. Anne]] and earned the {{badge|Thunder}} by defeating Lt. Surge at the Vermilion Gym.

==In the manga==
===Pokémon Adventures===
[[File:Vermilion City Adventures.png|thumb|250px|Vermilion City in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
Vermilion City is split into two main areas; the center city and the harbor. The [[Kanto]] [[Pokémon Fan Club]] headquarters is located in the center city. Some of the citizens are {{tc|Poké Fan}}s and {{tc|Sailor}}s.

===={{MangaArc|Red, Green & Blue}}====
Vermilion City first appeared in ''[[PS010|Danger: High Voltorb]]'' and ''[[PS011|Buzz Off, Electabuzz!]]''. After arriving, {{adv|Red}} learned that many people in the city had gotten their {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} stolen. He decided to investigate the [[S.S. Anne]], where he learned that the local [[Gym Leader]], [[Lt. Surge]], was behind the thefts and using the ship to transport the stolen Pokémon away. Surge tortured Red with his {{p|Electabuzz}} and almost succeeded in drowning him, but he was saved by his newly evolved [[Poli]]wrath. Although Surge managed to get away, his Sailor underlings were arrested and the stolen Pokémon aboard the ship were returned to their rightful owners.

===={{MangaArc|Yellow}}====
Vermilion City reappeared in ''[[PS057|Ekans the Ecstasy]]''. Just when {{adv|Yellow}} arrived there aboard the S.S. Anne, which was now transporting passengers instead of stolen Pokémon, the [[Team Rocket Elite Trio]] sabotaged the ship by exploding a bomb within its engine room. Although Yellow was able to save all of the passengers, the ship was still sunk at the harbor.

In ''[[PS058|The Kindest Tentacruel]]'', the [[Pokémon Fan Club Chairman]] told Yellow of a legend about an underwater dome at the bottom of the Vermilion Harbor. Inside the dome was supposedly a set of unique [[Evolution stone]]s that didn't disappear after being used, with one of these stones being behind the [[Evolution]] of Red's Poliwrath three years earlier. Yellow was later lead to the dome by a {{p|Tentacruel}}, only to find out that the [[Thunder Stone|Thunder]], [[Water Stone|Water]], and [[Fire Stone]]s were missing, meaning that she wasn't the first one to have found the place.

In ''[[PS060|Breath of Dragonair Part 1]]'', while thinking about a way to cross the ocean without {{m|Surf}}, Yellow learned of a surfing contest, where the main prize was going to be a {{p|Dragonair}}, an excellent Pokémon for crossing the sea. However, before the contest could even begin, the "prize" Dragonair started attacking everyone, as it actually belonged to [[Lance]], who used its {{m|Hyper Beam}} to obliterate most of Vermilion City, claiming it was obstructing his view. When Lance started to leave, Yellow gave chase. Lance proved to be an overwhelmingly strong opponent and sent Yellow sinking into the sea. However, thanks to [[Pika]] learning Surf, Yellow was able to save herself from drowning and start crossing the sea.

===={{MangaArc|FireRed & LeafGreen}}====
In ''[[PS270|Now You See Me...]]'', Red and {{adv|Blue}} flew to Vermilion to board the [[Seagallop]] for [[One Island]]. In ''[[PS298|Start the Countdown, Starmie]]'', the Seagallop returned to Vermilion, carrying Blue, {{adv|Green}}, [[Green's parents]], [[Lorelei]], [[Ultima]], and {{adv|Professor Oak}}, at the same time that the [[Team Rocket airship]], which Red was trying to control, was about to crash into the same city. Although Red was able to prevent the {{p|Forretress}} aboard the airship from {{m|Explosion|exploding}}, the aircraft still nearly crash-landed, but thankfully, {{adv|Mew}} was able to lower it safely to the ground. Afterwards, [[Sird]] appeared on the scene, making one last attempt to capture {{adv|Deoxys}}. Although she failed, the clash between {{p|Darkrai|her Pokémon}} and {{adv|Mewtwo}}'s attacks led to the [[Pokédex holder]]s present being turned to stone.

===Pokémon Zensho===
[[File:Vermilion City Zensho.png|thumb|230px|Vermilion City in [[Pokémon Zensho]]]]
Vermilion City appeared in [[PZ04]], where it was visited by {{zensho|Satoshi}}. With the [[S.S. Ticket]] he had received from [[Bill]], he visited the [[S.S. Anne]], where he beat {{Zensho|Shigeru}} in a {{pkmn|battle}} and met the ship's seasick captain. The captain told Satoshi that he was looking for a sergeant who had served in the same army unit with him in the army and uses {{type|Electric}} Pokémon. Visiting the [[Pokémon Fan Club]] for clues, Satoshi learned that the man he was looking for was [[Lt. Surge]], the city's [[Gym Leader]]. At the [[Vermilion Gym]], Satoshi had a battle with Lt. Surge, beating his {{p|Electabuzz}} with his newly evolved {{p|Charmeleon}}.

After the battle, Surge revealed that his Pokémon had once accidentally knocked over a tall tree towards a lieutenant he held in high regard and fled without looking back, considering himself a coward for doing so. However, said soldier turned out to be the captain of the S.S. Anne, who had saved himself from the falling tree with his specialty skill of using {{m|Cut}}. Out of gratitude, Satoshi received a {{badge|Thunder}} and {{HM|01|Cut}} from the two men, who then set sail together aboard the S.S. Anne.

==Trivia==
* Vermilion City and [[Cinnabar Island]] are named after the same color in the English versions of the Pokémon games but not in the Japanese versions, since {{wp|vermilion}} ({{j|{{jwp|朽葉|クチバ}}}} ''kuchiba'', "decayed leaves") refers to a shade of orange while {{wp|crimson}} ({{j|{{jwp|紅蓮|グレン}}}} ''guren'', "crimson lotus") refers to a shade of red. Vermilion is an orange-red pigment, produced from the orange-red mineral {{wp|cinnabar}}. This explains why Vermilion City is colored orange while Cinnabar Island is colored red in the [[Generation I]] games when played with the [[Super Game Boy]] enhancements enabled on a compatible system or with the [[Game Boy Color]] enhancements available in the international releases of {{game|Yellow}} (including the [[Virtual Console]] release).
* In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, normally the cutscene with {{p|Suicune}} that occurs here will end with Suicune running east, through the southwestern entrance to {{rt|11|Kanto}}. However, if the player triggers this cutscene from said location instead of the port, Suicune will instead run south. However, [[Eusine]] will still appear on the port as usual.

===Origin===
{{main|Pokémon world in relation to the real world#Kanto|Pokémon world in relation to the real world → Kanto}}
Geographically, Vermilion City appears to be based on {{wp|Chiba (city)|Chiba}}, the capital city of {{wp|Chiba Prefecture}}. However, its design, especially as it appears in ''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]'', seems to be mostly based on {{wp|Yokohama}}, the capital city of {{wp|Kanagawa Prefecture}}. Additionally, during the announcement for the 2023 [[World Championships|Pokémon World Championships]], [[The Pokémon Company]] used a trailer with footage of Vermilion City taken from the [[Generation I]] games before announcing that the event would be held in Yokohama.<ref>
Play Pokémon (@playpokemon) on [https://twitter.com/playpokemon/status/1561383485323055109 Twitter]: Now announcing the destination for #PokemonWorlds 2023…</ref>

Vermilion City may also be inspired by {{wp|Yokosuka}}, which has a United States Navy base, a possible inspiration for Vermilion Gym and Lt. Surge as an "American" soldier.

'''Cerulean City''' (Japanese: '''ハナダシティ''' ''Hanada City'') is a seaside city located in northern [[Kanto]]. It is situated near a sea inlet to the north, with [[Saffron City]] to the south, and [[Mt. Moon]] to the west. It is home to [[Misty]], the Cerulean City [[Gym Leader]].

The city is one of only two cities in Kanto to have four different [[route]]s enter the city, the other being [[Saffron City]]. Cerulean is a mid-sized city with a few attractions, including the [[Miracle Cycle|Bike Shop]] and the [[Berry Powder]] man.

==Places of interest==
===Bike Shop===
[[File:Miracle Cycle FRLG inside.png|thumb|200px|The Bike Shop in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}]]
{{main|Miracle Cycle}}

In the [[Generation I]] games and {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, the Bike Shop sells Bicycles produced by the company. Designs range from a plain city bike to a fast mountain bike; however, the {{player}} can only ever get one: the [[Bicycle]]. It can be bought for {{PDollar}}1,000,000 or exchanged for a [[Bike Voucher]]. As only {{PDollar}}999,999 can be held at maximum, there is no way for the player to obtain a Bicycle without a Bike Voucher. The [[Pokémon Fan Club Chairman]] in [[Vermilion City]] will hand over his Bike Voucher if the player listens to him talk about his {{p|Rapidash}}.

In [[Generation II]], the shop is closed because the owner decided to move the shop to [[Goldenrod City]] in the [[Johto]] region. In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, however, the shop in [[Kanto]] is also open, although nothing is obtainable inside. The manager mentions that since all the bicycles have been shipped to Johto for sale, all he has left to sell are inflatable tubes. The ''That Town, These People'' radio show profile of Cerulean City mentions this as well.

The name "Miracle Cycle" only appears in the Japanese {{pkmn|games}}. In the English versions, the Miracle Cycle Shops are just called "Bike Shops" and no mention of Miracle Cycle is made at all.

In [[Generation VII]], the shop is replaced with the home of the Bike Maniac, who collects different kinds of Bicycles, such as [[Mach Bike]]s and [[Acro Bike]]s. He doesn't sell or give away any of them.

===Cerulean Cave===
{{main|Cerulean Cave}}
On the outskirts of Cerulean City lies Cerulean Cave, also known as the Unknown Dungeon. It is said to be home to "horribly strong {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}". The player can capture the [[level]] 70 {{p|Mewtwo}} in the [[Generation]] {{gen|I}}, {{gen|III}}, and {{gen|IV}} games. Only {{pkmn|Trainer}}s who compete and win in the [[Pokémon League]] at [[Indigo Plateau]] may enter due to the strength of the Pokémon in the cave, although in Generation IV, the player must also defeat all of Kanto's [[Gym Leader]]s in order to gain access. Mewtwo lies at the end of the cave, the only one of its species in the game.

Another addition in {{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}} is that Trainers are now required to further prove themselves before entering the cave by completing the quest on the [[Sevii Islands]] and restoring the Network Machine of the [[Pokémon Network Center]] to operational status. This stipulation may or may not have been added due to the addition of {{p|Wobbuffet}} to the cave's selection of wild Pokémon, and the old set of requirements that would have allowed players to enter the cave before obtaining the National Pokédex.

In Generation II, the Dungeon has collapsed, but Mewtwo's [[Berserk Gene]] has been left behind. In HeartGold and SoulSilver, however, the cave is still open. The [[Pokégear]] map mentions that it once collapsed but was rebuilt, and Mewtwo can still be found inside.

In [[Pokémon Stadium 2]], the {{OBP|Pokédex|Stadium}} map displays the Cerulean Cave as part of the Cerulean City.

===Cerulean Gym===
{{main|Cerulean Gym}}
[[File:Cerulean Gym FRLG.png|thumb|200px|Cerulean Gym in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}]]
The Cerulean Gym is the official [[Gym]] of Cerulean City. It is based on {{type|Water}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. The [[Gym Leader]] is [[Misty]]. {{pkmn|Trainer}}s who defeat her will receive the {{Badge|Cascade}}. Other known Gym members include {{tc|Swimmer}} Briana, Swimmer Parker, Swimmer Diana, Swimmer Luis, and {{tc|Picnicker}} Diana. The Cerulean Gym is designed like an indoor swimming pool, with platforms above the water for the player to walk on. There are no puzzles to solve in this Gym.

===Berry Powder man===
In Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen, there is a man in a cottage in the northern part of town who concocts a variety of medicines from [[Berry Powder]] and will exchange Berry Powder for [[herbal medicine]] and [[vitamin]]s. When he is first visited, he gives the player the [[Powder Jar]], and will ask the player to make some Berry Powder from the new machine that crushes Berries in the [[Pokémon Center]] upstairs. There is also a sign on his wall that keeps a record of pressing-speed ranking the player achieves.

===Gym Badge man===
In Generations I and III, there is a man in a cottage in the northwest corner of the city who will explain exactly what the effects are for each of the eight {{DL|Badge|Indigo League}} [[Badge|Gym Badges]]. He also has a small backyard, where a [[Rare Candy]] can be found hidden among the flowers.

===Dontae's house===
There is a residential house located to the west of the Pokémon Center.

In Pokémon Red, Blue, Gold, Silver, Crystal, FireRed, LeafGreen, HeartGold, and SoulSilver, this house belongs to Dontae and his wife. In Generation I and III, Dontae will offer to trade the player his {{p|Jynx}} for their {{p|Poliwhirl}}. In Generation II and IV, he is satisfied with the Pokémon he has received from trades over the years.

In {{game|Yellow}}, this house belongs to [[Melanie|a girl]] who is taking care of an {{p|Oddish}}, {{p|Sandshrew}}, and {{p|Bulbasaur}}. If [[Pikachu (Yellow)|the player's Pikachu]]'s [[friendship]] is 147 or higher, she will offer to give the player her Bulbasaur.

In [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], the girl once again inhabits the house. She will give the player a Bulbasaur if they have caught at least 30 Pokémon.

===Burglarized house===
In Generations I, III, and VII, a {{tc|Team Rocket Grunt}} stole the [[TM]] for {{m|Dig}} from its owner, leaving the house a mess. After defeating the Grunt, the player will receive the TM from him. The owner then says that since the TM was stolen, he'll find a way of teaching Dig to {{p|Diglett}} without a TM.

The house is initially inaccessible because a Cerulean {{tc|Police Officer}} ([[Officer Jenny]] in {{v2|Yellow}} and Generation VII) blocks the door. The officer will only move aside from the door after the player talks to [[Bill]] at his [[Sea Cottage]] on {{rt|25|Kanto}}.

In Generations II and IV, the man is actively fighting against robbers so the situation that occurred to him and his wife three years prior does not happen again. When he learns about the Team Rocket Grunt who stole the [[Machine Part]], he gets upset and claims that he won't even reconsider not reporting the Team Rocket Grunt if he turns out to be the same thief from three years ago.

A notice outside the house in [[Generation II]] and {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}} reads:

{{sign|DPtip|header}}
{{sign|DPtip|There's a notice here...}}
{{sign|DPtip|Stamp out thievery and make the city}}
{{sign|DPtip|a friendlier, more cheerful place!}}
{{sign|DPtip|Cerulean Police}}
{{sign|DPtip|footer}}

===Move Tutor===
In [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], a {{tc|Tamer}} in the [[Pokémon Center]] will teach the player's {{OBP|Partner Pokémon|Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!}} [[signature moves|exclusive moves]].

==In animation==
[[File:Cerulean City anime.png|thumb|250px|Cerulean City in the {{aniseries|SM}}]]
===''Pokémon the Series''===
===={{aniseries|OS}}====
Cerulean City first appeared in ''[[EP007|The Water Flowers of Cerulean City]]'', where {{Ash}} decided to challenge the [[Cerulean Gym]]. At the Gym, he found out that {{Gary}} and the other two {{pkmn|Trainer}}s from [[Pallet Town]] had already beaten the Gym. As their only remaining {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} after those challengers was a {{p|Goldeen}}, the [[Sensational Sisters]] were ready to give Ash the {{badge|Cascade}} without a {{pkmn|battle}}, until {{an|Misty}} appeared, revealing herself to be one of the Cerulean [[Gym Leader]]s as well. Ash and Misty started a Gym battle, but just when Ash was about to win, {{TRT}} busted their way into the Gym, interrupting the battle. After Team Rocket had been defeated, the Sensational Sisters decided to give Ash the Cascade Badge as thanks for saving the Gym.

In ''[[EP061|The Misty Mermaid]]'', Misty reluctantly agreed to help her sisters in a new underwater ballet performance at Cerulean City. However, in the middle of the act, Team Rocket appeared again, once more trying to steal the Gym's Pokémon. A battle between Ash and company and Team Rocket ensued, during which Cerulean Gym's {{p|Seel}} evolved into a {{OBP|Dewgong|Cerulean Gym}}. Once the situation was solved and Ash and company prepared to leave, Misty left her {{TP|Misty|Horsea}} and {{TP|Misty|Starmie}} at the Gym, the latter due to her sisters' request.

====''[[Pokémon Chronicles]]''====
Several Pokémon Chronicles episodes have mostly focused on the Cerulean Gym and Misty. In ''[[HS11|A Date With Delcatty]]'', Cerulean City was revealed to have a container port, the Cerulean Marine Stadium, and a lighthouse.

===={{aniseries|RS}}====
The {{gdis|Battle Factory|III}} is also located near Cerulean City.

===={{aniseries|SM}}====
In ''[[SM042|Alola, Kanto!]]'' and ''[[SM043|When Regions Collide!]]'', Ash, {{ashcl}}, Misty, {{an|Brock}}, and {{an|Professor Kukui}} visited Cerulean City to visit the Cerulean Gym and teach Ash's [[Alola]]n friends about [[Gym]]s and [[Pokémon League]]s. To experience a Gym battle, {{an|Mallow}} and {{an|Lana}} had an unofficial Gym battle against Brock, while {{an|Lillie}} and {{an|Sophocles}} had a battle against Misty. After these battles had been called off with no clear winner, {{an|Kiawe}} requested to have a serious battle against Brock, while Ash issued a similar challenge to Misty. During these battles, Brock and Misty demonstrated their new ability to use [[Mega Evolution]] by Mega Evolving their {{TP|Brock|Steelix}} and {{TP|Misty|Gyarados}}, respectively. Kiawe lost his battle against Brock, while Ash managed to defeat Misty.

===Pokémon Origins===
[[File:Cerulean City Evolutions.png|thumb|250px|Cerulean City in [[Pokémon Evolutions]]]]
Cerulean City was seen briefly in ''[[PO02|File 2: Cubone]]'', where {{OBP|Red|Origins}} recalled having visited the city during his {{pkmn|journey}}. During his visit, he managed to retrieve the stolen [[TM]] for {{m|Dig}} from a member of [[Team Rocket]] and earn the {{badge|Cascade}} by defeating Misty at the Cerulean Gym.

===Pokémon Evolutions===
Cerulean City briefly appeared in the beginning of ''[[PE08|The Discovery]]'' when {{ga|Green}} entered [[Kanto Route 24|Nugget Bridge]] on her way to [[Cerulean Cave]].
{{-}}

==In the manga==
===Pokémon Adventures===
[[File:Cerulean City Adventures.png|thumb|300px|Cerulean City in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
===={{MangaArc|Red, Green & Blue}}====
Cerulean City was first featured in ''[[PS008|Suddenly Starmie]]'' as the place where [[Misty]]'s mansion and the [[Cerulean Gym]] are located. Its streets surround a canal full of boats, resembling {{wp|Venice}}. After spending a night at the mansion, {{adv|Red}} and Misty trained at the Gym together for a while in order to be able to fight [[Team Rocket]] more effectively. Before departing, Red received a {{badge|Cascade}} from Misty.

===={{MangaArc|Yellow}}====
Starting from ''[[PS065|Karate Machop!]]'', Cerulean City was attacked by an army of {{t|Ghost}} Pokémon, sent there by [[Agatha]]. Misty, while protecting her Gym, found out that the [[Elite Four]] were after her Badge. After {{adv|Yellow}} defeated [[Lance]] at [[Cerise Island]], the Ghost army lost all of its strength.

[[File:Cerulean City EToP.png|thumb|230px|Cerulean City in [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]]]]
===The Electric Tale of Pikachu===
Cerulean City appeared in ''[[ET02|Play Misty For Me]]''. After defeating {{an|Brock}} at the [[Pewter Gym]], {{OBP|Ash Ketchum|EToP|Ash}} traveled to the [[Cerulean Gym]] in order to earn his second [[Badge]]. At the Gym, {{an|Misty}} challenged Ash into getting past her {{TP|Misty|Gyarados}} and retrieving his {{AP|hat}} from her in order to get the Badge. At first, Ash's Pokémon proved unhelpful in the given task, but his {{p|Metapod}} evolving into {{AP|Butterfree}} changed things in his favor, allowing him to eventually succeed and receive the {{badge|Cascade}} from the [[Sensational Sisters|Misty's sisters]].

===Pokémon Zensho===
Cerulean City appeared in ''[[PZ03|Cerulean City]]'', where {{zensho|Satoshi}} visited the city. Shortly after his arrival, he saved the bike shop from a {{tc|Team Rocket Grunt}}, before heading to the Gym. However, before Satoshi could even properly start a battle with Misty, another Team Rocket Grunt attacked the Gym with a {{p|Gyarados}}. Satoshi defeated the Gyarados, receiving a Cascade Badge from Misty as thanks.

==Trivia==
[[File:Cerulean City Slowbro SonicBoom FRLG.png|thumb|200px|The girl commanding her Slowbro to use SonicBoom in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}]]
* In [[Generation]]s {{gen|II}} and {{gen|IV}}, a {{tc|School Kid}} with an Itemfinder{{sup/2|GSC}}/[[Dowsing Machine|Dowsing MCHN]]{{sup/4|HGSS}} hints at an item outside of [[Cerulean Cave]]. However, his machine will keep responding even after the player has picked up the item.
* The [[Badge|Gym Badge]] man is the only character in [[Generation III]] to define the {{Badge|Marsh}} and {{Badge|Volcano}} as having the effect of allowing the {{player}} to use the post-[[Generation I]] [[HM]] moves {{m|Rock Smash}} and {{m|Waterfall}} outside of battle, since [[Sabrina]] and [[Blaine]] do not explain it themselves.
* In {{game|Red and Blue|s}} and [[Generation III]], when talked to, a girl will command her {{p|Slowbro}} to use {{m|Withdraw}} or {{m|Sonic Boom|SonicBoom}}, or to punch. However, while Slowbro learns Withdraw by leveling up and can be taught a {{cat|Punching moves|punching move}}, Slowbro is unable to learn SonicBoom by any legitimate means.
** In {{game|Yellow}} and [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], the girl owns an {{p|Electrode}} instead, commanding it to use either {{m|Tackle}}, Sonic Boom, or {{m|Swift}}, all being moves that Electrode can learn.
* In Generation II, Cerulean City shares its music with {{ci|Viridian}}, {{ci|Pewter}}, and {{ci|Saffron}}, instead of with [[Fuchsia City]] (which uses the [[Celadon City]] theme instead), like in all of the other games.
* In Generation I, it is possible to skip {{rt|24|Kanto}} and {{rt|25|Kanto}} by defeating Misty and [[trade|trading]] over a Pokémon that knows {{m|Cut}}. In Generation III, this is prevented by having the disobedient Slowbro block the cuttable tree south of the city until the player has received the [[S.S. Ticket]] from [[Bill]] at the [[Sea Cottage]].
* In Generation III, the house to the left of the Poké Mart contains an old man watching TV, noting there is nothing interesting on it. Dummied-out text in the debug build shows he would have had more dialogue, as switching on NEWS1 in the debug build changes his dialogue to wishing someone would tell him about stuff directly.

===Pewter Museum of Science===
{{main|Pewter Museum of Science}}
[[File:Pewter Museum of Science HGSS.png|thumb|left|200px|The museum in HeartGold and SoulSilver]]
One of Pewter City's main attractions is the famous museum located in the northwestern part of the city. The main building is open to the public for {{PDollar}}50 and features several scientific artifacts.

There are two floors to explore in the Pewter Museum of Science. The first floor holds the front desk and a [[fossil]] exhibit containing the fossils of {{p|Aerodactyl}} and {{p|Kabutops}}. The second floor hosts a space exhibit, featuring a space shuttle and a large [[Moon Stone]] that fell from space and landed on [[Mt. Moon]]. The {{player}} is able to explore the museum at any time, after paying the admission fee.

Once the ability to use {{m|Cut}} out of battle is gained,{{sup/1}}{{sup/3|FRLG}} or after the player's {{OBP|Partner Pokémon|Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!}} is taught the [[Secret Technique]] Chop Down,{{sup/7|PE}} the player can sneak into the back of the museum and acquire the [[Old Amber]] from a scientist there, allowing the player to revive an Aerodactyl later in the game. In {{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}}, there is also a [[Move Tutor]] who will teach {{m|Seismic Toss}} to one of the player's compatible Pokémon.

The museum is closed for renovations during [[Generation II]]. In {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, however, the museum is open for business. There is a scientist in the museum who will revive a player's Fossils, much like the scientist at [[Cinnabar Island]]'s [[Cinnabar Lab]] in [[Generation]]s {{gen|I}}, {{gen|III}}, and {{gen|VII}}. This is due to the fact that Fossils can be found under rocks using {{m|Rock Smash}}, unlike in Generation II, where players were required to transfer Fossil {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} from the [[Generation I]] {{pkmn|games}} using the [[Time Capsule]].

===Pewter Gym===
[[File:Pewter Gym HGSS.png|thumb|200px|Pewter Gym in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}]]
{{main|Pewter Gym}}
The Pewter Gym is the official [[Gym]] of Pewter City. It is based on {{type|Rock}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. The [[Gym Leader]] is [[Brock]]. {{pkmn|Trainer}}s that defeat him receive the {{Badge|Boulder}}.

Other known members include {{tc|Camper}} Jerry, Camper Liam, Brock's father, {{ka|Flint}}, and Brock's mother, [[Lola]].

Pewter Gym appears in all {{pkmn|games}} set in the [[Kanto]] region, appearing much the same in each: a small building with a {{wp|Japanese rock garden}} inside, one Trainer, and the Gym Leader Brock waiting on a large stone pedestal. In the [[Generation I]] games and their [[Generation III]] remakes, whenever the {{player}} tries to leave Pewter City, a boy will lead them to the front of the Gym if the player has not earned their Boulder Badge yet.

==Signs==
* In the [[Generation I]] games and their [[remake]]s, there's a notice about [[Team Rocket|thieves]] that have been stealing Pokémon [[fossil]]s from [[Mt. Moon]] and to contact Pewter Police with any information to assist them in stopping the troublemakers.
* In the [[Generation II]] games and {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, there's a sign that welcomes the player to the city. Also in [[Generation II]], there's a notice about the Gift Shop at the [[Mt. Moon Square]] being now open.

==Demographics==
===Pokémon Red, Blue, and Yellow===
In {{game2|Red|Blue|Yellow}}, the population of Pewter City is 28.

===Pokémon Gold, Silver, and Crystal===
In {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}, the population of Pewter City is 18. This decrease is due in part to the closing of the Pewter Museum of Science.

===Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen===
In {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, the population of Pewter City is 33.

===Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver===
In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, the population is 30. Its decline in population could be due to the Pewter Museum of Science's missing second floor, which was present in FireRed and LeafGreen.

==In animation==
[[File:Pewter City anime.png|thumb|250px|Pewter City in {{aniseries|DP}}]]
===''Pokémon the Series''===
Pewter City's center features many tall buildings, including a [[Pokémon Center]], which differs from its craggy surroundings. A [[Contest Hall]] is located on the outskirts of the city. Pewter City also serves as one of the locations of the [[Battle Pyramid]]. In the Japanese version of [[EP006]], [[Seymour]] was revealed to work for the Pewter Museum of Science. In addition to Brock, Pewter City is also the [[hometown]] of [[Top Coordinator]] [[Solidad]] and Trainer [[Pete Pebbleman]], who was defeated by Ash during the [[Indigo Plateau Conference]].
===={{aniseries|OS}}====
Pewter City first appeared in ''[[EP005|Showdown in Pewter City]]'', where {{Ash}} decided to challenge the [[Pewter Gym]] for his first [[Badge]]. After suffering his first loss to {{an|Brock}}, {{ka|Flint}} caught up with Ash and directed him to an old hydroelectric plant located by a dry river bed, where he could charge {{AP|Pikachu}} up with electricity. After charging Pikachu up, Ash returned to the Gym, where Pikachu accidentally set off its sprinkler system, allowing it to win the [[rematch]] against {{TP|Brock|Onix}}. Despite this, Ash decided to forfeit the match, feeling like he did not deserve to win. Nevertheless, Brock still chose to give him a {{badge|Boulder}}. The Gym was subsequently left under Flint's care while Brock decided to join Ash on his travels.

====[[Pokémon Chronicles]]====
In ''[[HS01|A Family That Battles Together Stays Together!]]'', it was revealed that Brock's mother [[Lola]] had recently returned home and added a brighter color scheme to the Gym, while also changing it to a {{type|Water}} Gym. The Gym returned to its heritage {{type|Rock}} theme after Brock defeated his mother in battle.

===={{aniseries|DP}}====
In [[DPS02]], [[Forrest]] officially became the new Pewter City [[Gym Leader]] after a [[Nurse Joy]] from the [[Pokémon Inspection Agency]] recognized him as a worthy {{pkmn|Trainer}} for the duty.

===={{aniseries|JN}}====
The city reappeared in ''[[JN038|Restore and Renew!]]'', when Ash, [[Goh]], and [[Chloe]] visited the [[Pewter Museum of Science]]. While enjoying the [[Fossil]] Pokémon on show, Goh uncovered an [[Old Amber]] and later had it restored, {{pkmn2|caught|catching}} the newly revived {{TP|Goh|Aerodactyl}}.

===Pokémon Origins===
[[File:Kanto Route 2 PO.png|thumb|250px|Pewter City in [[Pokémon Origins]]]]
Pewter City made an appearance in ''[[PO01|File 1: Red]]''. While visiting the Museum of Science, {{OBP|Red|Origins}} overheard two girls talking about [[Brock]], the local [[Gym Leader]]. When he went to the Gym, he found out that Brock was the same man whom he had encountered earlier, just after losing a battle against {{OBP|Blue|Origins}}.

Red then started a Gym battle with Brock, during which the Rock-type Gym Leader gave the beginner Trainer basic advices of strategy, such as those involving {{DL|Type|type effectiveness}}. During the battle, Red came to realize that he and his Pokémon were in the battle together, making them his partners. Eventually, Red was able to defeat Brock, earning the {{badge|Boulder}} and {{TM|34|Bide}}. Afterwards, the young Trainer departed Pewter City, doubly determined to fulfill his quest of completing the [[Pokédex]].
{{-}}

==In the manga==
[[File:Pewter City Adventures.png|thumb|250px|Pewter City in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
===Pokémon Adventures===
===={{MangaArc|Red, Green & Blue}}====
Pewter City first appeared ''[[PS004|Wanted: Pikachu!]]''. After arriving there, {{adv|Red}} learned that the townspeople were trying to catch a [[Pika]]chu, which had been stealing food from the local marketplace. Using his [[Saur|Bulbasaur]]'s {{m|Sleep Powder}}, Red put Pikachu {{status|asleep}} and {{pkmn2|caught}} him without issue. Pikachu did, however, remain [[Obedience|disobedient]] towards him, something that Red's [[rival]], {{adv|Blue}}, mocked him for. He also told Red that he was intending on battling the local [[Gym Leader]], [[Brock]], in order to earn the {{badge|Boulder}} and make his Pokémon stronger, and challenged Red to do the same. However, the local [[Pokémon Center]] had been attacked the previous night, leaving Red's only good choices against {{t|Rock}} Pokémon, Bulbasaur and [[Poli]]whirl, low on [[HP]].

In ''[[PS005|Onix Is On!]]'', Red entered the [[Pewter Gym]] just in time to witness Blue winning himself a Boulder Badge. Red used Bulbasaur and Poliwhirl to face and defeat the [[Gym]] {{pkmn|Trainer}}s, but by the time the battle against Brock came, both of them were too exhausted to continue, forcing Red to use his disobedient Pikachu against [[Brock's Onix]]. Despite the obedience issues and type disadvantage, Pikachu eventually defeated Onix by breaking its body apart, earning Red his own Boulder Badge.

Red briefly revisited Pewter City in ''[[PS023|Make Way For Magmar!]]'' with {{adv|Giovanni}}, whom he had met in [[Diglett's Cave]] and assumed to be just a [[fossil]] collector. Upon arriving in the city, they noticed that the [[Pewter Museum of Science]] had been set on fire by two {{pkmn2|wild}} {{p|Magmar}}. Red decided to use his recently caught {{p|Sandshrew}} against them, eventually succeeding in immobilizing them with sand. Giovanni gave Red an [[Old Amber]] before parting ways with him, and when the Magmar started moving again, Giovanni had his {{p|Cloyster}} {{status|freeze}} and kill them, revealing his association with [[Team Rocket]] in the process.

===={{MangaArc|Yellow}}====
Starting from ''[[PS065|Karate Machop!]]'', a group of {{p|Machop}} sent by [[Bruno]] attacked Pewter City as part of the [[Elite Four]]'s attack on the [[Kanto]] [[region]]. While Brock fought against them to defend his hometown, he discovered that the Elite Four was after his Badge. Once {{adv|Yellow}} defeated [[Lance]] on [[Cerise Island]], the Pokémon armies attacking Kanto lost their strength and collapsed.

[[File:Pewter City PM.png|thumb|left|200px|Pewter City in [[Pokémon Pocket Monsters]]]]
===Pokémon Pocket Monsters===
Pewter City appeared in ''[[PM003|Bring Down the Powerful Opponent Onix!!]]''. After seeing {{PPM|Green}} getting tossed out of the local Gym, {{TP|Red|Clefairy}} became afraid of fighting against Brock's Onix and tried to flee, forcing {{PPM|Red}} to drag him back inside. Once Clefairy found out that his cousin, {{PPM|Red's Pikachu|Pikachu}}, was a part of Brock's Pokémon collection, he was infuriated and finally became motivated to battle. Onix was eventually defeated by Clefairy's gag moves, making Red the winner and allowing him to take Pikachu with him.

===Pokémon Zensho===
Pewter City appeared in ''[[PS05|Pewter City]]'', where {{zensho|Satoshi}} challenged Brock at the Pewter Gym. Despite Brock's Onix having an advantage over {{zensho|Satoshi's Charmander}}, Satoshi eventually won by having Charmander chop off Onix's horn, earning him the Boulder Badge.

==Trivia==
* [[Goldenrod City]] and [[Rustboro City]] are very similar to Pewter City. Their geographic locations in their respective [[region]]s are remarkably similar, as well as being only accessible through a forest early in the game. Rustboro is, however, the most like Pewter in that both cities are the second city visited with a [[Gym]], but first to be beat by the {{player}}. Both Pewter and Rustboro's Gyms specialize in {{type|Rock}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, and play a role in the player obtaining [[Fossil]] Pokémon.
** [[Oreburgh City]] is also very similar to Pewter City, as they are both surrounded by mountains, both of their [[Gym]]s specialize in {{type|Rock}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, and they both contain a museum. [[Nacrene City]] is also similar, as it is near a forest and has a museum; however, unlike Pewter City, [[Goldenrod City]] and Rustboro City, Nacrene City comes ''before'' a forest, not ''after''.
* If the player enters "''[[Mystery Gift#Generation III|Mystery Event Is Exciting]]''" to the girl asking for the player's profile in the [[Pokémon Center]], she will mention that her cousin used to say that a lot, referring to the man in the Pokémon Center of [[Petalburg City]] who asks for the player's profile in {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}.
* In {{game|Yellow}}, if the player tries to deposit the {{OBP|Pikachu|Yellow}} received at the beginning of the game in the [[Pokémon Storage System]] or view its stats while it is asleep from {{p|Jigglypuff}}'s song, the game will not allow this, yielding the message "There isn't any response..." (Japanese: あれ？　いない⋯ ''Eh? There's no one...'')
** In Pokémon Yellow, if Pikachu is asleep because of {{p|Jigglypuff}}'s song, the player will be unable to use the [[Link Cable]] features. In this case, the Link Cable attendant simply says her original preparation message: "Welcome to the Cable Club! We're making preparations. Please wait."
** In {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, when the player accesses the [[Help System]], Jigglypuff's song stops.
* In the English [[dub]] of the {{pkmn|animated series}}, [[Roxanne]] says that the Pewter City Gym is the flagship of all the Rock-type Gyms.
* In [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], the NPC with a {{p|Butterfree}} mentions that her Butterfree is female, but it lacks the {{DL|List of Pokémon with gender differences|Generation I|black spots on its lower wings}}.

'''Viridian City''' (Japanese: '''トキワシティ''' ''Tokiwa City'') is a small city located in western [[Kanto]]. It is home to the [[Viridian Gym]], which can only be challenged by the {{player}} once they have obtained the [[Badge]]s of the seven other [[Gyms]] of Kanto. In the Kanto-based {{pkmn|games}}, the [[Gym Leader]] is [[Giovanni]], the boss of [[Team Rocket]] and a {{type|Ground}} [[type expert|expert]]. After being defeated, he abandons the Gym and is replaced by {{ga|Blue}}, who has no specialty [[type]]. He is the Gym Leader during the events of the [[Johto]]-based games.

==Geography==
Viridian City is a small city with an [[list of game locations by population|average population]] and three exits. To the north is {{rt|2|Kanto}}, divided into two by [[Viridian Forest]] and leading to [[Pewter City]]. To the south is {{rt|1|Kanto}}, leading to [[Pallet Town]]. To the west is {{rt|22|Kanto}}, leading to the [[Pokémon League Reception Gate]].

Between the three-year gap of [[Generation I]] and [[Generation II]] (as well as their remakes), the city has changed drastically with the [[Trainer House]] replacing the [[Pokémon academy|Trainers' School]], and becoming known as "the Gateway to Indigo Plateau", although the layout remains largely the same.

In [[Generation VII]] the city's layout is still faithful to the original, but a difference in elevation means that the secluded area on the left is only accessible by [[Secret Technique|chopping down]] the bush above. Compared to its appearance in Generation III, Viridian City appears more similar to its {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} appearance, with dark gray asphalt as opposed to the lighter gray pavement. Additionally, every dirt path is no longer present, and the Gym has been moved further back into the trees, meaning it cannot be walked around as is the case in every other game.

==Points of interest==
===Viridian Gym===
{{main|Viridian Gym}}
The Viridian Gym is the official [[Gym]] of Viridian City. {{pkmn|Trainer}}s who defeat this Gym's Leader receive the {{Badge|Earth}}. The Gym is usually strewn with the same one-way [[spin tile]]s seen in the [[Team Rocket Hideout]], except in Generation II, where the floor is bare of any obstacles.

In [[Generation]]s {{Gen|I}}, {{Gen|III}}, and {{Gen|VII}}, it is based on {{type|Ground}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} and the [[Gym Leader]] is [[Giovanni]], the head of [[Team Rocket]]. The Gym is initially locked due to its Leader's absence and will not re-open until the player has collected the other seven [[Badge]]s.

In Generations II, IV, and VII, Team Rocket has disbanded and {{ga|Blue}} takes over as the Gym's Leader. Under Blue's direction, the Gym no longer concentrates on any particular [[type]].

===Trainers' School===
{{main|Pokémon academy}}
In Generations {{gen|I}}, {{gen|III}} and {{gen|VII}}, this school is located in the center of Viridian. It is a place dedicated to teaching the basics of Pokémon to inexperienced Trainers. Before Let's Go Pikachu and Eevee, it was referred to as the Pokémon Academy.

In Generations {{gen|II}} and {{gen|IV}}, this school has been replaced by the [[Trainer House]].

===Trainer House===
{{main|Trainer House}}
In Generations {{gen|II}} and {{gen|IV}}, the Trainer House replaces the Trainers' School in the center of Viridian. The first floor is occupied by a handful of people, while the basement is primarily dedicated to a battlefield. In the basement, the {{player}} may battle other Trainers once a day.

In Generation II, the opposing {{pkmn|Trainer}} in the basement will be the last person the player has used [[Mystery Gift]] with, with whatever [[party]] they had when Mystery Gift was used. If the player has never used [[Mystery Gift]] with anyone, the opposing Trainer will be {{ga|Cal}}.

In Generation IV, the player will initially only find {{tc|Ace Trainer}} {{ga|Cal}} in the basement. When the player meets another Trainer via the Pokéwalker and re-syncs the Pokéwalker back to their game, the other Trainer will also appear in the basement with their party. Up to 10 additional Trainers may be encountered in this way. Any Pokémon in a Trainer's party above level 50 will have their level reduced to 50. Battles here give no [[experience]] or money, but the player will receive 1 [[Battle Point|BP]] for each victory.

===Old Man===
{{main|Old man (Kanto)}}
In Generation I and III, a grumpy old man blocks the player from progressing to {{rt|2|Kanto}} until he has had his daily coffee (in the Japanese script he is drunk and has passed out), preventing players from wandering past Viridian City until they've delivered [[Parcel|Oak's Parcel]] to [[Professor Oak]]. When returning to the area after delivering Oak's Parcel, he can teach the player how to catch a Pokémon. He will also give the player a [[Teachy TV]] in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, which instructs the player about battling and catching Pokémon through a variety of programs.

He makes an appearance in the same spot in Generation II and IV sequels, declaring that he has had his espresso and that he was once an expert at catching Pokémon, referencing the events three years prior.

In [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], his role is instead served by [[Jessie]], [[James]], and {{MTR}}.

===TM man/Move Tutor===
There is a man on the west side of Viridian City that requires {{m|Cut}} or {{m|Surf}} to access, or [[Secret Technique]] Chop Down in [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]].

In Generation I, II, and IV, he gives the player a [[TM]] for {{m|Dream Eater}}. In Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!, he gives the player the TM for {{m|Will-O-Wisp}}. In [[Generation III]], he is a [[Move Tutor]] for Dream Eater.

==Differences between generations==
===Generations I, III, and VII===
Viridian City's layout is consistent between Generations I, III, and VII. There are no notable differences between the Viridian of Generations I, III, or VII, aside from the larger houses in {{gen|III}}, the 3D graphics in {{gen|VII}}, and some slight repositioning. Trees have become bigger, flowers are more visible, and most other sprites have been upgraded to modern standards. Most of the town's residents remain the same, and will give the player the same information. Items that are given out, however, are different from generation to generation.

In Generation III, the Potion behind the Cut tree is no longer hidden.

In Generation VII, the TM-giving man in the southwest part of town can no longer be reached via the pond to his right and can only be accessed by using the [[Secret Technique]] Chop Down.

===Generation II and IV===
The differences between the Generation II and IV and Generation I and III games are more noticeable. The [[Pokémon academy|Trainers' School]] seen in Generation III has been replaced with the giant [[Trainer House]], and other buildings were added as well. Within the Trainer House in Generation II, Trainers will battle either {{ga|Cal}}, if the player has never used [[Mystery Gift]] with anyone, or the last player with whom they have used Mystery Gift. In Generation IV, the player may either battle Cal or up to 10 different Trainers met on the Pokéwalker.

==Slogan==
===Generations I, III and VII===
'''''The Eternally Green Paradise''''' (Japanese: '''トキワは　みどり　えいえんのいろ''' ''Tokiwa is the color of green eternity.'')

===Generation IV===
'''''The City of Evergreen''''' (Japanese: '''えいえんなる　みどりの　まち''' ''The eternally green town.'')

==Development==
===Generation II===
Although Kanto was planned to return in Gold and Silver since 1997, the [[Pokémon Gold and Silver Spaceworld '97 demo]] reveals that at the time, Kanto was a tiny reconstruction of its original map, as opposed to being far more complete in the final. This included a heavily condensed Viridian City, with the Route 22 Gate leading westwards being the only distinct piece of geography to survive the transition.

===Pokémon Pinball===
[[File:Pinball Blue Viridian City.png|thumb|right]]
In {{g|Pinball}}, Viridian City appears on the Blue table; catchable Pokémon include {{p|Bulbasaur}}, {{p|Squirtle}}, {{p|Nidoran♀}}, {{p|Nidoran♂}}, {{p|Poliwag}} and {{p|Tentacool}}.

==In animation==
[[File:Viridian City anime.png|thumb|220px|Viridian City in {{aniseries|OS}}]]
===''Pokémon the Series''===
===={{aniseries|OS}}====
Viridian City was first seen briefly at the end of ''[[EP001|Pokémon - I Choose You!]]''. It was then visited in ''[[EP002|Pokémon Emergency!]]'', when [[Ash Ketchum]] took his injured {{AP|Pikachu}} to the [[Pokémon Center]] here. When entering the town, Ash was stopped by Viridian City's [[Officer Jenny]], who found him suspicious, due to the fact he was carrying Pikachu in his arms and not a [[Poké Ball]]. While staying overnight at the Pokémon Center, Ash had his first encounter with the [[Team Rocket trio]]: [[Jessie]], [[James]], and {{MTR}}. Ash and Pikachu foiled their plot to steal all the {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} in the Pokémon Center, thus beginning Team Rocket's obsession with capturing Ash's Pikachu.

Ash and {{ashfr}} arrived in Viridian City in ''[[EP061|The Misty Mermaid]]'', but quickly left for the [[Cerulean Gym]] after they noticed that [[Misty's Horsea]] looked unwell while it was swimming in a local fountain.

They returned to Viridian in ''[[EP063|The Battle of the Badge]]'', and noticed that the Pokémon Center that had exploded at the end of ''Pokémon Emergency!'' has been rebuilt. They found the [[Viridian Gym]], but before Ash could to fight the [[Gym Leader]], {{Gary}} arrived and {{pkmn|battle}}d {{an|Giovanni}} first. After {{TP|Misty|Togepi}} was carried off by a {{p|Fearow}}, Ash and his friends went looking for it, only to find it inside the Gym. They then noticed that Gary and his [[Gary's cheerleaders|entourage]] were badly injured due to {{OBP|Mewtwo|M01}}'s attacks. Giovanni is forced to leave the Gym following an emergency call, and he puts Jessie, James and Meowth in charge. After Ash fought and won a difficult and dangerous battle with Team Rocket, the Gym collapsed due to Togepi blowing up the stands. Ash picked up the {{badge|Earth}} Team Rocket lost. Afterwards, Ash and his friends left.

===={{aniseries|GS}}====
After the [[Silver Conference]], Viridian was once again revisited, in ''[[EP273|Gotta Catch Ya Later!]]'', only some things had changed. Most notably, the [[Nurse Joy]] who worked at the Viridian Center in ''Pokémon Emergency!'' had retired and {{an|Misty}}'s [[Bicycle|bike]] had been fixed. After a battle with Team Rocket, as well as [[Invincible Pokémon Brothers|a trio of hired thugs]], they left Viridian City.

===={{aniseries|RS}}====
Ash later passed through Viridian on his way home in ''[[AG132|The Scheme Team]]'', after the [[Ever Grande Conference]]. Visiting the site of the rebuilt Viridian Gym, circumstances ended up bringing him to the battlefield for a friendly one-on-one challenge with the temporary Gym Leader, [[Kanto]] [[Elite Four]] member [[Agatha]]. Ash also met [[Scott]] and learned about the {{Gdis|Battle Frontier|III}} from him, becoming interested enough to challenge it.

===Pokémon Origins===
[[File:Viridian City PO.png|thumb|250px|Viridian City in [[Pokémon Origins]]]]
Viridian City first appeared in ''[[PO01|File 1: Red]]'', where {{OBP|Red|Origins}} stopped by the local Pokémon Center to heal his {{p|Charmander}}, after having lost a battle against his [[rival]], {{OBP|Blue|Origins}}. He also made a call to [[Professor Oak]] from there before departing to [[Pewter City]].

Viridian City appeared again in ''[[PO03|File 3: Giovanni]]'', where Red returned there in order to challenge the local Gym Leader, only to find out that not only had Blue already done so, but that the Gym Leader was none other than [[Giovanni]], the Boss of [[Team Rocket]]. Enraged of seeing Giovanni as a Gym Leader, Red challenged him to a battle, not as a Gym Leader, but as the enemy of all Pokémon. Using his specially trained {{p|Rhyhorn}}, Giovanni defeated most of Red's Pokémon with ease, but soon noticed himself getting excited of the battle. When Red sent out his {{TP|Red|Charizard}} to face Giovanni's last Pokémon, {{p|Rhydon}}, Giovanni finally remembered how he had once been like Red, a child enjoying Pokémon battles simply for the fun and excitement of it. Even though Red eventually won the battle, he initially refused to take the Earth Badge, saying he didn't want it from the Boss of Team Rocket. Impressed of Red's attitude, Giovanni then informed {{tc|Team Rocket Grunt|his minions}} that Team Rocket would now be disbanded. After this, Red accepted Giovanni's Badge, and departed Viridian City for Indigo Plateau. Reminded of his past, Giovanni decided to find a new path for himself and his Pokémon, leaving behind his positions as Viridian City's Gym Leader and the Boss of Team Rocket.

===Pokémon Generations===
[[File:Viridian City PG.png|thumb|250px|Viridian City in [[Pokémon Generations]]]]
Viridian City appeared in ''[[PG02|The Chase]]''. The [[International Police]] raided the Viridian Gym in search of Giovanni, but failed to find him. Giovanni was then seen overlooking Viridian City as he walked away, vowing that Team Rocket would never fall.

==In the manga==
===Pokémon Adventures===
[[File:Viridian City Adventures.png|thumb|250px|Viridian City in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
===={{MangaArc|Red, Green & Blue}}====
Viridian City first appeared in ''[[PS002|Bulbasaur, Come Home!]]'', where {{adv|Red}} and {{adv|Professor Oak}} were forced to chase some of the Pokémon that Red had accidentally set free from [[Professor Oak's Laboratory]] all the way to [[Pallet Town]]'s neighbor city, including a [[Saur|Bulbasaur]], which the two chased to the abandoned [[Viridian Gym]]. After Red had helped Bulbasaur to defeat a wild {{p|Machoke}} attacking them, Professor Oak chose to give Bulbasaur to Red, along with a [[Pokédex]].

Viridian City made a brief appearance in ''[[PS023|Make Way For Magmar!]]'', where local citizens were asking questions about the missing [[Gym Leader]].

Red revisited Viridian City in ''[[PS036|Drat That Dratini!]]'' after helping a {{adv|Yellow|young girl}} in [[Viridian Forest]]. Upon hearing rumors about the missing "invincible" Gym Leader, Red decided to check out the Viridian Gym again. At the Gym, he met {{adv|Giovanni}}, learning that not only was he the Viridian City Gym Leader, but also the leader of [[Team Rocket]]. Giovanni then challenged Red to a battle, making a bet with him that should Red lose, he'd come to serve him as his right-hand man. During the battle, Giovanni's {{p|Nidoking}}'s {{m|Earthquake}} caused the Viridian Gym to collapse into ruins. Eventually Red emerged victorious with his [[Pika]] defeating Giovanni's {{p|Nidoqueen}} and knocking the Gym Leader himself unconscious as well.

===={{MangaArc|Gold, Silver & Crystal}}====
In ''[[PS115|Forretress of Solitude]]'', Red participated in [[Pokémon Association]]'s Gym Leader test for the new Viridian Gym Leader at the reconstructed Viridian Gym. Although he passed the test with flying colors, Red had to turn down the offer, as he had not yet completely recovered from the frostbites he received after being frozen by [[Lorelei]] in the {{MangaArc|Yellow}}. As such, {{adv|Blue}} was appointed as the new Gym Leader instead, after he impressed the Pokémon Association by stopping and {{pkmn2|Caught|capturing}} a group of rampaging [[wild Pokémon]].

===={{MangaArc|FireRed & LeafGreen}}====
In ''[[PS287|Secrets from Sneasel]]'', {{adv|Yellow}} arrived in Viridian City to meet Blue at the Gym, but only found his hologram, set there in case for a challenger coming while he was not present. An automated system then brought out Blue's Pokémon, which, even without their Trainer giving them commands, easily defeated Yellow's [[Chuchu]] in a battle. {{adv|Silver}} soon arrived at the site as well, looking for his roots. Unexpectedly, the two were attacked by [[Sird]] and [[Orm]] of Team Rocket, who revealed that Silver was actually Giovanni's long-lost son. This revelation shocked Silver so much that the two Team Rocket members had no trouble in knocking him out and taking him to the [[Team Rocket airship]], with Yellow giving chase.

[[File:Viridian City EToP.png|thumb|left|230px|Viridian City in [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]]]]
===The Electric Tale of Pikachu===
Viridian City appeared in ''[[ET01|Pikachu, I See You!]]'', where {{OBP|Ash Ketchum|EToP|Ash}} caught his runaway {{AP|Pikachu|Pikachu (EToP)}} there after it had fled from him on {{rt|1|Kanto}}. Despite Pikachu still being [[Obedience|disobedient]] towards Ash and frequently {{m|Thunder Shock}}ing him, he boasted that since Pikachu were hard to tame, he already had {{Gary}} beat without even trying. Gary, however, soon showed up himself, taunting Ash and showing him that he already had a full [[party|team]] of six Pokémon, while Ash only had his disobedient Pikachu.

===Pokémon Zensho===
[[File:Viridian City Zensho.png|thumb|250px|Viridian City in [[Pokémon Zensho]]]]
Viridian City first appeared in ''[[PZ02|Pewter City]]'', where {{zensho|Satoshi}} tried to enter the local [[Gym]], only for a {{tc|Camper}} to tell him the Gym was closed. Following the Camper's advice, Satoshi then headed to Viridian Forest in order to reach the nearest city with an open Gym.

After earning seven [[Badge]]s, Satoshi returned to Viridian City in ''[[PZ09|Viridian City]]''. Upon entering the Gym, he was surprised to learn that the Gym Leader was actually [[Giovanni]]. Satoshi eventually won the Gym battle thanks to his {{zensho|Satoshi's Charizard|Charizard}} and gave the Giovanni a package that [[Mr. Fuji]] had given to him prior to him coming to Viridian City, which was revealed to contain the horn of Giovanni's deceased Nidoking. Following this, Giovanni rewarded Satoshi with an {{badge|Earth}}.

==Trivia==
* An [[Pikachu's Jukebox]] song {{so|Viridian City|of the same name}} is centered on its status as the location of the final [[Gym]] in [[Kanto]].
* Viridian City is the only first city or town after the [[hometown]] that has a Gym, although the Gym is closed until the player has earned seven [[Badge]]s.
* This city is [[List of typos|misspelled]] as "Virdian City" in {{an|Giovanni}}'s character profile in [[Pokémon Puzzle League]].
* In Pokémon Red, Blue, Yellow, and their remakes, a Viridian City [[Poké Mart]] employee on {{rt|1|Kanto}} gives a [[Potion]] to the player as a free sample.
** In {{game|Red and Blue|s}}, this Poké Mart does not actually sell Potions even though the sample is given to the player, as noted by a customer saying that Potions are out of stock. This changed in {{game|Yellow}}, where the customer says that Potions are finally in stock.
** In [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions|Pokémon FireRed, LeafGreen]], [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!|Let's Go, Pikachu!, and Let's Go, Eevee!]], the customer simply says that he needs to buy Potions and explains that they heal Pokémon, instead of commenting about the stock like in previous games. This is a rare instance of Let's Go! dialogue that originated in the Generation III games instead of the Generation I games.
* The English manuals of Pokémon Red and Blue contain the correct list of items sold in this Poké Mart, but this was not updated in the manual of Pokémon Yellow, which still does not include Potion. However, those lists of Poké Mart items were added in the localization; they are not found in the respective Japanese manuals.

'''Pallet Town''' (Japanese: '''マサラタウン''' ''Masara Town'') is a small town located in southwestern [[Kanto]]. It is the [[hometown]] of the {{player}} and their [[rival]] in the Kanto-based {{pkmn|games}}. In other games, it is specifically the hometown of {{ga|Red}} and {{ga|Blue}}. In {{aniseries|PTS}}, it is the hometown of {{Ash}} and {{Gary}}. [[Professor Oak's Laboratory]], where the famous [[Professor Oak]] conducts his research, is located in the town.

The town has two exits. To the north is {{rt|1|Kanto}}, leading to [[Viridian City]]. To the south is {{rt|21|Kanto}}, a [[water route]] leading to [[Cinnabar Island]].

====Professor Oak's Lab====
{{main|Professor Oak's Laboratory}}
[[File:Professor Oak Lab inside HGSS.png|thumb|right|150px|Inside the lab in HeartGold and SoulSilver]]
In the southeast corner of town is Professor Oak's Lab. Here, [[Pokémon Trainer]]s just beginning their quest are given the choice to receive either a {{p|Bulbasaur}}, {{p|Charmander}}, or {{p|Squirtle}} from [[Professor Oak]]. On the occasion that Professor Oak is out of the previously listed {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, he has been seen to hand out {{p|Pikachu}} and {{p|Eevee}}. This is also the location of the {{player}}'s first battle, which was against their rival, {{ga|Blue}}{{sup/1|RBY}}{{sup/3|FRLG}} or {{ga|Trace}}{{sup/7|PE}}.

The lab is a small building near the player's house that has been slightly modified in every game. In {{game|Red and Blue|s}} the sign says "''Here is the Institute of Dr. Okido.''" in Japanese, and "''Oak Pokémon Research Lab''" in the English language versions. Inside are three of Professor Oak's aides, two men and one woman, a couple of shelves full of books, a table with three {{i|Poké Ball}}s, a computer, two blank [[Pokédex]]es, and two tips for the player. In {{game|Yellow}} the lab is the same as Red and Blue, except there is only one Poké Ball on the table, and next to the table stands a trash can. In {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, other than the significant graphical enhancements, the laboratory also has two plants in the entrance, a ''mysterious machine'', books on the floor, two regular machines in the corner, and a window.

====Player's house====
{{main|Player's house#Kanto|Player's house → Kanto}}
[[File:Red House HGSS.png|thumb|Inside {{ga|Red}}'s house in Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver]]
=====Generations I, III, and VII=====
In [[Generation]]s {{Gen|I}}, {{Gen|III}}, and {{Gen|VII}}, this house is where the {{player}} lives before beginning their journey. The player's {{ka|Mom}} lives here, and after the player has left town for the first time, going home and talking to her will fully rest/restore all of the player's Pokémon, just like a [[Pokémon Center]]. In Generation I, the player's bedroom has a PC, a bed, and a TV with an [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System|SNES]] hooked up to it. It serves no other purpose, although the PC can be used to access the player's item storage, where a single [[Potion]] can be found and withdrawn from at the start of the game. In Generation III, the player's house features an enhanced version of the bedroom from Generation I. The only difference is the SNES being replaced with an {{wp|Nintendo Entertainment System|NES}}. In Generation VII, with the removal of the item storage function, the player's PC displays an email from their {{ga|Trace|friend and rival}}. In addition, the SNES from Generation I is replaced with a docked [[Nintendo Switch]], with a single left Joy-Con next to it.

In Generations I and III, before going down the stairs, there is a sign on the wall that reminds the player how to open the Bag. This sign's purpose is replaced in [[Generation VII]] by the PC's email. In Generation I, a movie is shown on the first-floor television involving four boys walking on railroad tracks, a reference to the film {{wp|Stand by Me (film)|Stand by Me}};<ref>(July 2000). [https://web.archive.org/web/20230418175409/https://www.nintendo.co.jp/nom/0007/taidan1/page04.html 田尻智さん（ゲームフリーク）ＶＳ石原恒和さん（クリーチャーズ）対談 (ページｄ)]。 ''Nintendo Online Magazine'' (N.O.M). No.23.</ref> however, in Generations III and VII, this will only appear if the player is a male. If the player is a female, the television will display a girl in pigtails walking down a yellow brick road, possibly a reference to the film {{wp|The Wizard of Oz (1939 film)|The Wizard of Oz}}.

=====Generations II and IV=====
In Generations {{Gen|II}} and {{Gen|IV}}, Red's mother is alone in the house, telling the {{player}} how worried she is about {{ga|Red}}, but also how proud she is of him. In {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, the graphical features have also been updated to the Generation IV standard since {{3v2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}. On the ground floor, there is a table with a large mug of tea sitting on it, a bigger TV, bookshelves, and a kitchen area located on the northwestern side of the room containing a refrigerator and a sink. On the upstairs floor is Red's bedroom, which contains a study desk with a laptop computer sitting on it, a [[Nintendo 64]] or [[Wii]], depending on the Generation, three bookshelves, and a single bed in the southwestern corner. Examining the laptop shows that the items in the room are collecting dust, as if [[history of the Pokémon world|they haven't been used in a long time]].

====Rival's house====
In Generations I and III, after the [[Pokédex]] has been given to the {{player}} by Professor Oak, [[Daisy Oak|the rival's sister]] will give the player a [[Town Map]]. In [[Generation III]], Daisy will check the lead Pokémon's [[friendship]] and offer to groom a Pokémon in the player's party. She can only groom one Pokémon for every 500 steps the player takes. In [[Generation VII]], Daisy is replaced by the nameless sister of their childhood friend. While she does not groom Pokémon, she can still evaluate the [[friendship]] between the player and any {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} in their [[party]].

In Generations {{gen|II}} and {{gen|IV}}, Daisy will help the player comb their Pokémon, causing its [[friendship]] to be raised. In Generation IV, she'll give the player Blue's [[Pokégear]] phone number so the player can call and arrange a rematch with him at the [[Fighting Dojo]]. Also returning from previous generations, Daisy will [[Pokémon groomer|groom]] one of the player's Pokémon for free once daily between 3:00 and 4:00 PM. As in Generation II, it will raise a Pokémon's friendship greatly; however, it will also raise the Pokémon's {{OBP|Beauty|condition}} stat. This is not displayed anywhere in-game, and the Pokémon must be seen in Diamond, Pearl, or Platinum to notice. Despite this, {{p|Feebas}} whose Beauty is maxed out this way can [[Evolution|evolve]] into {{p|Milotic}}, unlike in FireRed and LeafGreen, where the Beauty stat did not exist in any shape or form. As a reference to Daisy's enjoyment of tea in Generation III, a large mug of tea sits on her table. In Generation IV only, the rival's house has a second story that mirrors the player's house, much like their Hoenn and Sinnoh counterparts.

==Demographics==
===Pokémon Red, Blue, and Yellow===
Pallet Town's population is 8 (not including the {{player}} and the {{ga|Blue|rival}}, who leave Pallet Town at the beginning of the game). This low number is likely due to its lack of amenities like a [[Gym]] or [[Pokémon Center]] and its isolation from the center of [[Kanto]]. This makes it the smallest town in Kanto.

===Pokémon Gold, Silver, and Crystal===
Pallet Town's population remains 8, making it the smallest town in Kanto.

===Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen===
As in the original games, Pallet Town's population is 8 (not including the {{player}} and the {{ga|Blue|rival}}, who leave Pallet Town at the beginning of the game). This makes it the smallest town in Kanto.

===Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver===
As in the original games, Pallet Town's population remains 8, making it the smallest town in Kanto.

===Pokémon Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!===
Just like in all the aforementioned games, Pallet Town's population is 8 (not including the {{player}} and {{ga|Trace|rival}}), once again making it the smallest town in Kanto.

==Differences among generations==
===Generations I and III===
Pallet Town is very consistent in the way of layout. The square-shaped town with three buildings remains the same between Generations I and III, only enhancing aesthetic features. Trees have become bigger, flowers are more visible, and most other sprites have been upgraded to Generation III standards. Most of the town's residents remain the same and will tell Trainers the same messages. However, there is a woman in front of the [[signpost]] on the southwestern field that will move out of a Trainer's way when interacted with. In the Generation I to III transition, the garden in front of Professor Oak's Lab is removed, while other houses in Pallet have mailboxes instead of signs.

Professor Oak's Lab has gone through some slight remodeling. In Generation I, inside are three of Professor Oak's aides, two men and one woman, a couple of shelves full of books, a table with three {{i|Poké Ball}}s, a computer, two blank [[Pokédex]]es, and two tips for the player, while in Generation III, other than the significant graphical enhancements, the laboratory also has two plants in the entrance, a ''mysterious machine'', books on the floor, two regular machines in the corner, and a window. Changes in Red's and Blue's houses also sufficed. In Generation III, the player's bedroom features an enhanced version of the bedroom from Generation I with the SNES being replaced with an {{wp|Nintendo Entertainment System|NES}}.

===Generation II===
During Generation II, Pallet Town had little changes done to the layout. Despite the graphical updates, the town remained totally unchanged save for the movement of the [[tall grass]] in the north. {{Daisy}}, the sister of {{ga|Blue}}, who is living in Blue's house, will comb the player's Pokémon, causing its [[friendship]] to be raised. Daisy will groom one of the player's Pokémon for free once daily between 3:00 and 4:00 PM. Red's mom also appears in Generation II, telling the player how worried she is about Red, but also how proud she is of him.

===Generation IV===
During Generation IV, Pallet Town had surprisingly little change in layout. Despite the graphical updates, the town remained unchanged. As in Generation II, Daisy will groom the player's Pokémon between 3 and 4 PM and will give away Blue's [[Pokégear]] number if she is shown a Pokémon that is already very friendly and has a high {{OBP|Beauty|condition}} condition.

==In animation==
[[File:Pallet Town anime.png|thumb|250px|Overview of Pallet Town, as seen in ''[[BW142|The Dream Continues!]]'']]
===''Pokémon the Series''===
Pallet Town is the [[hometown]] of {{Ash}} and his [[rival]] {{Gary}}. Just like in the {{pkmn|games}}, [[Professor Oak's Laboratory]] is located in Pallet Town. Ash always returns here before visiting a new [[region]]. Pallet Town is depicted in {{aniseries|PTS}} as having dirt trails and wide, open, grassy fields. Pallet Town debuted in the first episode, ''[[EP001|Pokémon - I Choose You!]]'', when {{Ash}} received his {{AP|Pikachu}}. Since then, it has been seen in many episodes, mostly in the start and ending of a region adventure, but also in [[Pokémon Chronicles]] and in the {{pkmn|movie}}s.

{{an|Professor Oak}}'s Laboratory stands out in Pallet Town for its wind turbine, the three windows of the inner balcony, and for the four windows of the second floor. Whenever Ash {{pkmn2|caught|catches}} a Pokémon when he has six already [[party|with him]], the new Pokémon is automatically transported here. Ash also has a habit of leaving all of his Pokémon besides Pikachu here each time he leaves for a new region, starting with [[Hoenn]]. The lab is composed of two floors. Inside the entrance door is a hallway with several doors, and to the left is a chest of drawers and the stairway to the second floor. The Oak Corral is a natural environment for Pokémon development. It is divided into regions according to type; there are areas that are perfect for {{type|Rock}} Pokémon, desert areas for {{t|Ground}} and {{t|Fire}} types, grassy regions, and several lakes. Sometimes the Pokémon don't get along; for this reason, some Pokémon, such as [[Ash's Bulbasaur]], act as mediators between quarreling Pokémon.

The [[Xanadu Nursery]] is another location close to Pallet Town. The nursery is a large greenhouse that is home to various flowers and plants. Among them is a flower that contains {{m|Stun Spore}}. Two of the nursery's employees are [[Florinda Showers]] and [[Potter]]. Along with Florinda's {{p|Gloom}}, they help to make sure the operations at Xanadu run smoothly. While {{pkmn|training}} for the [[Pokémon League]] in ''[[EP068|Make Room for Gloom]]'', {{Delia|Ash's mom}} requested that her son help her run some errands and visit the nursery. {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} took off, not wanting to help with Delia's plans. Eventually, they ended up at the very place she requested them to be at.

An old woman named [[Masae]] runs the Pallet Town's radio station, WPOK, from her general store. Other residents of Pallet Town include {{OBP|Gilbert|HS14}}, Mr. Garrison, Mr. Tango, and Ms. Owens.

Ash has left for another region on an airplane in both ''[[BW001|In The Shadow of Zekrom!]]'' and ''[[BW142|The Dream Continues!]]'' shortly after visiting Pallet Town; however, whether an airport is actually located in the town itself or not is unknown.

===Pokémon Origins===
[[File:Pallet Town PO.png|thumb|250px|Pallet Town in Pokémon Origins]]
Pallet Town made a couple of appearances in [[Pokémon Origins]], being the hometown of {{OBP|Red|Origins}} and {{OBP|Blue|Origins}}. It first appeared in ''[[PO01|File 1: Red]]'', where both Red and Blue were seen receiving a [[Pokédex]] each from Professor Oak, after which they got to choose their first partner Pokémon. Red chose {{TP|Red|Charmander}}, while Blue chose {{p|Squirtle}} to counter Red's choice. Afterwards, both Red and Blue departed Pallet Town and started gathering information on their Pokédexes.

Pallet Town's next major appearance was in ''[[PO04|File 4: Charizard]]'', where Red returned to Professor Oak's Laboratory to tell him how he had completed his Pokédex, only to find out that Blue had been injured during a battle against an unknown Pokémon at [[Cerulean Cave]], during which his own Pokédex had also gotten destroyed. Red soon understood that the mysterious Pokémon was, in fact, {{p|Mewtwo}}, a genetically enhanced version of a rare Pokémon called {{p|Mew}}. In order to add Mewtwo's data to the Pokédex, Red headed to Cerulean Cave, where he battled and, with extreme effort, successfully caught Mewtwo. During a small party held by Professor Oak to celebrate the completion of the Pokédex, Red realized that since Mewtwo was created from Mew, he still had to go find and catch Mew in order to make the Pokédex truly complete.

===''I Choose You!''===
[[File:Pallet Town M20.png|thumb|250px|Pallet Town in ''[[M20|I Choose You!]]'']]
Pallet Town appeared at the beginning of ''[[M20|I Choose You!]]'', set in an alternate timeline from the main series, as the [[hometown]] of {{OBP|Ash Ketchum|M20}}, {{Gary}}, {{OBP|Marina|EP091}}, and {{an|Tierno}}.

===Pokémon Evolutions===
[[File:Pallet Town Evolutions.png|thumb|250px|Pallet Town in [[Pokémon Evolutions]]]]
Pallet Town appeared in ''[[PE08|The Discovery]]''. {{ga|Green}} met [[Professor Oak]] at [[Professor Oak's Laboratory|his research laboratory]], apologizing for having failed to complete the [[Pokédex]]. Professor Oak, however, revealed that other Pallet Town Trainers had been taking on the same project as well, and thanks to them, the Pokédex was now complete. Just then, he received a call from [[Professor Willow|a colleague of his]], who informed him of {{p|Meltan|a new Pokémon made entirely of metal}}. However, when Professor Oak turned around to share the news with Green, {{ga|Elaine}}, and {{ga|Trace}}, he was surprised to see them having already left. Outside, Elaine's {{p|Pikachu}} picked her Trainer [[Small Bouquet|a bouquet of flowers]] as the three Trainers headed out together.

==In the novels==
===[[Pocket Monsters: The Animation]]===
Pallet Town is located in the [[Pokémon world (PMTA)|unnamed country]] whose capital is Tokyo City. In this country, children are considered to become adults when they reach 10 years old. However, there is not much work available for people that young in Pallet Town, so they usually become Pokémon Trainers instead.

Sometimes, Trainers from Pallet Town can be found at the bottom of the list of the 10,000 best Trainers from the Pokémon Pals magazine. When a Pokémon Trainer from Pallet Town is featured on the list, they are considered heroes in the town. There are parties in honor of them, and they featured in the local paper Weekly Pallet Town News. There is a single supermarket in Pallet Town, which offers bargain sales in honor of those Trainers.

In Japanese, Pallet Town used to be named Masshiro Town. The name was changed to Pallet Town (Japanese: マサラタウン ''Masara Town'') as a result of a local referendum, after Pallet Oak (Japanese: オーキド・マサラ ''Masara Ohkido'') got the 931st place in the ranking, the first Pokémon Trainer from the town to make into the top 1000. A bronze statue of him was also erected in the town square, and he was elected the mayor of Pallet Town. The town square also has a bell that rings at 9 AM. It is unknown if the bell rings some other time as well.

Pallet Town has had successive generations of mayors from the Oak family, who have been revered in the town. [[Professor Oak]] is the great-great-grandson of Pallet Oak. Professor Oak is the youngest of three brothers. His eldest brother is the current mayor, and the second eldest runs the Pallet Town post office. Professor Oak's grandson is [[Gary Oak]].

It may be implied that Professor Oak's great-great-grandfather Pallet Oak was an accomplished Pokémon Trainer before the invention of [[Poké Ball]]s and the existence of the term "Pokémon" or "Pocket Monsters", since Poké Balls were created in 1925 and this name for those creatures was created after Poké Balls.

There are several Pokémon Trainers from Pallet Town who share the dream of beating Pallet Oak's ranking of 931st place and have the town renamed after them. [[Ash Ketchum]] aims to rename Pallet Town into Ash Town (Japanese: サトシタウン ''Satoshi Town''), while [[Gary Oak]] aims to rename it into Gary Town (Japanese: シゲルタウン ''Shigeru Town'').

Ash's mother Delia runs the Pallet House, the only restaurant in town. It also has an inn on the second floor. There is also a single convenience store in town. In Pallet Town, only women are known to prepare meals. It is said that single men and married men who fight with their wives have no option but to eat in the restaurant or buy a bentō from the convenience store.

There have been no notable crimes in Pallet Town over the last 100 years. For this reason, they have no police officers or police station. Instead, they have a patrol of fire fighters.

There is also a preschool and a school, which Ash Ketchum attended when he was younger.

==In the manga==
===Pokémon Adventures===
[[File:Pallet Town Adventures.png|thumb|230px|Pallet Town in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
===={{MangaArc|Red, Green & Blue}}====
Pallet Town first appeared in ''[[PS001|A Glimpse of the Glow]]'', ''[[PS002|Bulbasaur, Come Home!]]'', and ''[[PS003|The Secret of Kangaskhan]]'' as the [[hometown]] of {{adv|Red}} and {{adv|Blue}}, as well as the place where [[Professor Oak's Laboratory]] is located. After demonstaring his skills as a [[Pokémon Trainer]] to the local children by catching a {{p|Nidorino}}, Red overheard some {{tc|Team Rocket Grunt}}s talking about a rare Pokémon they were trying to capture. He went to look for said Pokémon as well and discovered that it was actually {{adv|Mew}}, who defeated his [[Poli]]whirl in an instant. He subsequently went to visit Professor Oak's Laboratory, where he ended up accidentally letting the Pokémon kept there escape, forcing him and {{adv|Professor Oak}} to chase them.

In ''[[PS027|Kalling Kadabra]]'', all the townspeople were revealed to have been kidnapped by [[Team Rocket]] and held hostage in the [[Silph Co.]] building in [[Saffron City]]. In ''[[PS039|Just a Spearow Carrier]]'', it was revealed that {{adv|Green}} was also born in Pallet Town, before she had been kidnapped by {{DL|Tower duo (Adventures)|Ho-Oh|a giant bird Pokémon}} as a toddler.

===={{MangaArc|Yellow}}====
In ''[[PS041|Ponyta Tale]]'', Red received a letter from [[Bruno]], inviting him for a {{pkmn|battle}} at [[Mt. Moon]]. A month later, Red's {{p|Pikachu}}, [[Pika]], returned to Professor Oak, covered in injuries. Almost immediately afterwards in ''[[PS042|Do Do That Doduo]]'', {{adv|Yellow}} came and took Pika with her, telling Professor Oak that she was going to find Red. Although Professor Oak was suspicious of her at first, he eventually allowed her to take Pika and Red's [[Pokédex]] with her on her journey.

===={{MangaArc|FireRed & LeafGreen}}====
In ''[[PS269|Return to Pallet Town]]'' and ''[[PS270|Now You See Me...]]'', Red and Blue briefly returned to Pallet Town. At Professor Oak's Laboratory, they found a [[Tri-Pass]] and a [[Fame Checker]] for each of them. On the Fame Checkers, they heard a voice message from Professor Oak, telling them to deposit their [[Pokédex]]es to the [[PC|Storage System]]. While confused by this unusual request, the [[Pokédex holder]]s obliged. After being briefly attacked by {{adv|Deoxys|an invisible enemy}}, Red and Blue headed to [[Vermilion City]] to board the [[Seagallop]] ferry to the [[Sevii Islands]].

In ''[[PS282|Going Green]]'', Green revealed that she had revisited Pallet Town before Red and Blue in order to leave her Pokédex with Professor Oak so that he could upgrade it into the [[National Pokédex]]. However, he was then attacked by [[Orm]] of Team Rocket, who took him captive and forced him to leave the aforementioned messages for Red and Blue as part of Team Rocket's plan to have him reverse-engineer the [[villainous team]] their own version of the Pokédex. Unnoticed by Orm, Professor Oak managed to turn Green's Fame Checker on while being attacked, recording the conversation between him and Orm into it and allowing Green to learn what had happened when she later acquired the device.

After catching a {{AP|Pikachu|Pikachu (EToP)}} that had been sucking electricity from his home's wiring, Ash found out that {{Gary}} had already gotten himself a [[Pokémon Trainer's license]], inspiring him to begin his own [[Pokémon journey]] with Pikachu, receiving a [[Town Map]] from Gary's sister, [[Daisy Oak|May]], before departing.

According to Gary, {{p|Pikachu}} are commonly found around Pallet Town.

==Merchandise==

==Trivia==
* In the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga, Pallet Town is famous for being the hometown of many great Trainers, including {{adv|Professor Oak}}. In fact, every Trainer who has ever won the [[Indigo Plateau]] [[Pokémon League]] tournament has come from Pallet Town.
* In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, {{ga|Red}}'s bedroom features an area rug around his bed that is red in color. {{ga|Blue}}'s bedroom features a similar area rug, which is instead green in color. This is a reference to Blue's Japanese name, Green.

===Origin===
Pallet Town is based on {{wp|Machida, Tokyo}}, [[Satoshi Tajiri]]'s hometown.<ref>[http://pokepoke31.blog.fc2.com/blog-entry-15.html 【ポケモンゲーム史８】ゲーム『ポケモン』のテーマとは] (Japanese)</ref> However, its location on the map better corresponds to somewhere in the {{wp|Shizuoka Prefecture}}.

'''Lavender Town''' (Japanese: '''シオンタウン''' ''Cion Town'') is a small town located in northeast [[Kanto]], just south of the [[Rock Tunnel]].

The citizens of Lavender Town in [[Generation]]s {{gen|I}}, {{gen|III}}, and {{gen|VII}} claim Lavender Town is known mainly for ghost sightings in the [[Pokémon Tower]] and as the main gravesite of Pokémon. In Generations {{gen|II}} and {{gen|IV}}, the town is noticeably modernized with the inclusion of a broadcasting station. The citizens claim the {{OBP|ghost|Pokémon Tower}}s that appear in the tower are the [[Ghosts in the Pokémon world|spirits]] of Pokémon that have [[Death in the Pokémon world|died]].

North of Lavender is {{rt|10|Kanto}} and the [[Rock Tunnel]]. West of the town is {{rt|8|Kanto}}, while to the south is {{rt|12|Kanto}} and the {{DL|Kanto Route 12|Silence Bridge}}.

==Slogan==
===Generations I-III, VII===
'''''The Noble Purple Town''''' (Japanese: '''シオンは　むらさき　とうとい　いろ''' ''Cion is the color of purple nobility.'')

==Places of interest==
===Pokémon Tower===
{{main|Pokémon Tower}}
In [[Generation]]s {{gen|I}}, {{gen|III}}, and {{gen|VII}}, Pokémon Tower is a seven-floor graveyard that holds the grave of departed Pokémon. On all seven floors, the tower houses hundreds of graves of deceased {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}.

Many people visit the building daily to pay their respects to the fallen. On all floors other than the first two, though, the possibility of being attacked by [[wild Pokémon]] is present. Populated by {{tc|Channeler}}s, it was notable for numerous {{OBP|ghost|Pokémon Tower}} sightings (Pokémon killed by [[Team Rocket]]), as well as the location of Team Rocket's kidnapping of [[Mr. Fuji]]. Although {{player}}s can encounter {{type|Ghost}} Pokémon here, they can not be seen or captured unless they have a [[Silph Scope]].

Aside from graves, the tower is home to wild {{p|Cubone}} as well as many {{type|Ghost}} Pokémon. Prior to the player's visit, [[Team Rocket]] tried to steal the Cubone to sell their valuable skulls. In the process, a mother {{p|Marowak}} that was protecting her Cubone child was killed. {{OBP|Marowak|ghost|The ghost}} of the mother Marowak haunted the tower until the player confronted it, calming her spirit and allowing her to pass on into the afterlife.

The Ghost-type Pokémon in the tower have the unique ability to disguise themselves as literal ghosts. Any Pokémon who attempts to fight the ghosts without the player having a Silph Scope will be "too scared to move" and will be unable to attack or do anything else except run. However, the Silph Scope will reveal their true natures and identity, allowing the Pokémon to be engaged in {{pkmn|battle}}.

===Kanto Radio Station===
In [[Generation]]s {{gen|II}} and {{gen|IV}}, the tower was converted to the Kanto Radio Station, with all graves being moved to either the [[House of Memories]] or underground. The new House of Memories is placed where the [[Poké Mart]] has been before, which in turn was moved next to the [[Pokémon Center]]. The Kanto Radio Station can be entered, like its [[Goldenrod Radio Tower|Johto counterpart]], but only the ground floor, as the upper floors are completely off limits. This was done to prevent a takeover similar to the one that was seen in Johto. Talking to the receptionist on the ground floor, the player can receive a [[Pokégear]] radio card for Kanto.

The Radio Station broadcasts music and radio programs, including the [[Poké Flute]] channel, to the radios and [[Pokégear]] of Kanto. After restoring power to Kanto by fixing the generator at the [[Kanto Power Plant]], Trainers can receive the {{DL|Pokégear|Radio|EXPN Card}} from the manager of the tower, allowing Pokégears to tune into the Poké Flute channel, which can be used to move {{p|Snorlax}} from its slumber. The stairs in [[Generation II]] lead down into a basement instead of up into the tower, but the player is blocked by a guard.

===Lavender Volunteer Pokémon House===
The Lavender Volunteer Pokémon House (Japanese: あいのボランティアポケモンハウス ''Caring Volunteer Pokémon House''), located in central Lavender Town, was founded by [[Mr. Fuji]] in order to care for abandoned and orphaned Pokémon. Many members of the organization live in the safe house, looking after the abandoned Pokémon. Many Pokémon have stayed at the Volunteer Pokémon House over time, including {{p|Psyduck}}, {{p|Nidorino}}, and after the Team Rocket attack on the Pokémon Tower, {{p|Cubone}}.

A newborn {{p|Cubone}} has been Mr. Fuji's biggest concern ever since the attack on the Pokémon Tower and the death of [[Marowak (ghost)|its mother]] at the hands of Team Rocket, with him praying for it every night and caring for it everyday in the Volunteer Pokémon House. After going through the Pokémon Tower and defeating Team Rocket, Mr. Fuji will give the player a [[Poké Flute]] in gratitude. The player then uses this flute to progress the game.

The Lavender Volunteer Pokémon House is in fact Mr. Fuji's own house, however, it is designed for abandoned Pokémon. There is a pen in the corner for Pokémon to play in, and a kitchen area that has a delicious smelling odor admitting from it. There are also Pokémon magazines lined on the shelf, such as the Pokémon Insider, Pokémon Fan, and on the table there is an open copy of Pokémon Fan Magazine with a clipping of the Monthly Grand Prize Draw application form missing. In addition to this there are several different kind of pot plants around the room and a TV with a show about a Pokémon having fun.

===Name Rater===
{{main|Name Rater}}
The Name Rater is located in the south end of town, and allows the player to change, or grant a nickname to any of their Pokémon. If the Pokémon was caught by the player that currently owns it, he'll say that the name could be better and offer the player the option of changing it. If the Pokémon he's judging was obtained via a trade, he will say that the name is perfect and refuse to change it. However, if both players have identical [[Trainer ID number|Trainer IDs and secret IDs]], he will allow name changes.

===House of Memories===
{{main|House of Memories}}
The House of Memories, named Soul House in [[Generation II]], is a small building located on the southeastern side of Lavender Town during the events of Generation II and IV. The House of Memories was built to hold graves from the [[Pokémon Tower]] when it was converted to the Kanto Radio Station. There are many chambers within the building, but they cannot be accessed by anyone other than [[Mr. Fuji]]. There are no wild Pokémon or {{pkmn|battle|Trainer battles}} found within the House of Memories.

===Silph Scope advertisement===
In [[Generation I]] and {{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}}, there's a sign advertising the [[Silph Scope]].

==Demographics==
===Pokémon Red, Blue, and Yellow===
Lavender Town's population is 36. Most of these people are inside the [[Pokémon Tower]].

===Pokémon Gold, Silver, and Crystal===
Lavender Town's population is 27. This decline is due to the Pokémon Tower being converted into the Kanto Radio Station.

===Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen===
Lavender Town's population is 41. Most of the population here are brought up living around the Pokémon Tower, so they believe in ghosts and they are very religious, attending services at the Tower and praying for Pokémon's well-being. The number makes it the third largest settlement in Kanto.

===Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver===
In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, the population of Lavender Town is 30. Lavender Town suffered a large decline in population from FireRed and LeafGreen to HeartGold and SoulSilver.

==Difference between generations==
===Generation I, III, and VII===
Lavender Town is very consistent in the way of layout, with a [[Pokémon Center]] in the northwestern district of the town, the [[Pokémon Tower]] on the eastern side of town, the Lavender Volunteer Pokémon House, located in central Lavender Town, the [[Name Rater]] and other residential house on the southern side, and the [[Poké Mart]] located on the southeastern side. The Pokémon Tower in Generation I is cave-like on the outside with the Tower covered by rocks and mountain, however, this isn't the case in later generations and the building is a complete tower. Apart from this, most aesthetic features have been enhanced. Trees have become bigger, the cement road has been changed to a gravel path, flowers are more visible and most other graphics have been upgraded.

===Generation II and IV===
In [[Generation II]] and {{gen|IV}} only, the tower was converted into a radio station, broadcasting music and radio programs, including the [[Poké Flute]] channel, to the radios and [[Pokégear]] of Kanto. Unlike the [[Goldenrod Radio Tower]] in [[Goldenrod City]], only one floor, the ground floor, is open to the public as a result of [[Team Rocket]]'s infiltration of the Goldenrod tower. The stairs in [[Generation II]] lead down into a basement instead of up into the tower, but the player is blocked by a guard.

To compensate for the loss of the burial site, the graves were moved to a small building, the Soul House, at the south end of the town. Most of them were placed in secret chambers that only Mr. Fuji knows about. In Generation IV, the Soul House was renamed House of Memories. The House of Memories was built over the [[Poké Mart]], which was relocated next to the [[Pokémon Center]] in the northwestern district of Lavender Town.

==In the spin-off games==
===Pokémon Pinball===
In {{g|Pinball}}, Lavender Town appears on the Red table; catchable {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} include {{p|Pidgey}}, {{p|Ekans}}, {{p|Mankey}}, {{p|Growlithe}}, {{p|Magnemite}}, {{p|Gastly}}, {{p|Cubone}}, {{p|Electabuzz}} and {{p|Zapdos}}.

==In animation==
[[File:Lavender Town anime.png|thumb|250px|Lavender Town in {{aniseries|OS}}]]
===''Pokémon the Series''===
===={{aniseries|OS}}====
Lavender Town appeared in ''[[EP023|The Tower of Terror]]'', where {{Ash}} traveled there to {{pkmn2|caught|catch}} a {{type|Ghost}} Pokémon to fight [[Sabrina]], and ended up befriending a {{TP|Sabrina|Haunter}}. Focused mainly on the [[Pokémon Tower]], its features are very different to its in-game design, being depicted as an abandoned mansion rather than a graveyard. The tower is home to some playful {{p|Gastly}}, Haunter, and {{p|Gengar}}. When Ash and Pikachu were flying with the Ghost Pokémon, Lavender Town's skyscrapers were seen in the background.

===={{aniseries|RS}}====
In ''[[AG149|Wheel of Frontier]]'', the [[Battle Dome]] was revealed to be located south of Lavender Town.

===Pokémon Origins===
[[File:Lavender Town PO.png|thumb|left|250px|Lavender Town in [[Pokémon Origins]]]]
Lavender Town played a major role in ''[[PO02|File 2: Cubone]]''. After making his way to Lavender Town through [[Rock Tunnel]], {{OBP|Red|Origins}} soon heard how Team Rocket had taken over the Pokémon Tower as their new base, and that [[Mr. Fuji]], a local resident, had been captured by them when he had tried to convince them to leave. Willing to help driving Team Rocket away and save Mr. Fuji, Red volunteered to go into the tower, despite the persistent rumors of a [[Ghosts in the Pokémon world|ghost]] appearing there.

{{OBP|Blue|Origins}}, overhearing the conversation, decided to save Mr. Fuji himself and become the hero instead of Red. However, on the fifth floor of the Pokémon Tower, he encountered a ghost, which chased him down several floors, where here encountered Red. As Red bravely stayed to battle the ghost, Blue snuck past them back upstairs, where he stole a [[Silph Scope]] from a {{tc|Team Rocket Grunt}}. He took the Scope to Red, who was able to use it to identify the ghost as the mother of {{p|Cubone}}, {{OBP|Marowak|ghost}}, who had been killed by Team Rocket. After the ghost of Marowak had been calmed down, Red entered the top floor, defeated Team Rocket in a battle, and saved Mr. Fuji. As a thanks for driving Team Rocket away, Mr. Fuji gave Red a [[Poké Flute]] and a pair of mysterious gems. Afterwards, Red departed Lavender Town to continue his journey.

Lavender Town made a reappearance in ''[[PO04|File 4: Charizard]]'', where Mr. Fuji learned from [[Reina]] how Blue had been defeated by a really strong {{type|Psychic}} Pokémon at the [[Cerulean Cave]]. Hearing this, Mr. Fuji understood what the Pokémon in question was. Later, when Red headed to Cerulean Cave to catch the Pokémon, {{p|Mewtwo}}, Mr. Fuji, upon hearing of this, understood that Red's only hope of victory lied within the stones he had given him, revealed to be a [[Key Stone]] and a [[Charizardite X]] from the [[Kalos]] region. Sure enough, his prediction soon came true, as Red managed to use the stones to [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] his {{TP|Red|Charizard}} and defeat Mewtwo, giving him a chance to catch it.

==In the manga==
===Pokémon Adventures===
[[File:Lavender Town Adventures.png|thumb|230px|Lavender Town in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
===={{MangaArc|Red, Green & Blue}}====
Lavender Town appeared in ''[[PS013|Sigh For Psyduck]]'' and ''[[PS014|That Awful Arbok!]]''. After arriving to the town, {{adv|Red}} met [[Mr. Fuji]], and learned that {{adv|Blue}} had disappeared into the ghost-infested [[Pokémon Tower]] two weeks earlier. Wanting to figure out what was going on, Red also entered the tower, encountering multiple zombie Pokémon and a mind-controlled Blue there. With [[Saur]]'s help, Red was able to free Blue from the control of the {{p|Gastly}} that was possessing him and the zombies. Together, he and Blue found out that the culprit behind everything was [[Koga]], an elite member of [[Team Rocket]], who had taken over the tower as a base for the organization he served. Although Koga tried to kill the two with his {{p|Arbok}}, Blue was able to defeat it with his {{TP|Blue|Charmeleon}}, allowing the two Trainers to escape the tower alive.

===The Electric Tale of Pikachu===
[[File:Lavender Town EToP.png|thumb|230px|Lavender Town in [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]]]]
{{OBP|Ash Ketchum|EToP|Ash}} visited Lavender Town in ''[[ET04|Haunting My Dreams]]''. After reuniting with {{an|Brock}} and challenging [[Sabrina]] in [[Saffron City]], they traveled to Lavender Town to stop a {{pkmn2|giant}} {{p|Haunter}} called the [[Black Fog]], which was sucking out people and Pokémon's souls with its {{m|Dream Eater}}. Although Ash's plan to contain the Black Fog in a giant [[Poké Ball]] failed, escaping from it weakened Black Fog enough for it to become able to be {{pkmn2|caught}} in a regular Poké Ball. However, when Ash tried to catch the {{t|Ghost}} type, it opted to kill itself with {{m|Self-Destruct}} rather than let itself be caught by a human.

===Pokémon Zensho===
[[File:Lavender Volunteer Pokémon House Zensho.png|thumb|100px|Pokémon House in [[Pokémon Zensho]]]]
Lavender Town appeared in [[PZ05]]. After visiting the Pokémon House, {{zensho|Satoshi}} entered the Pokémon Tower to find [[Mr. Fuji]], but was scared away by the ghosts inside. He then witnessed a couple of {{tc|Team Rocket Grunt}}s and overheard them talking about the [[Silph Scope]], deciding to follow them. After visiting [[Celadon City]] and obtaining both the {{badge|Rainbow}} and a Silph Scope, Satoshi returned to Lavender Town and started climbing the tower, now being able to recognize the ghosts inside as Ghost-type Pokémon. At the top floor, he found Mr. Fuji being held hostage by [[Giovanni]]. However, thanks to the {{OBP|Marowak|ghost}} ghost, Team Rocket was driven off, allowing Mr. Fuji to calm Marowak's spirit and thus let it pass on to the afterlife. As thanks for saving him, Mr. Fuji gave Satoshi the [[Poké Flute]] that Team Rocket had been after.

==Trivia==
* The Lavender Town theme from {{game|Red and Green|s}} and {{game3|FireRed and LeafGreen|their remakes|s}} has been featured in various other Pokémon media, sometimes remixed or rearranged. These include:
** A more uplifting arrangement used in {{game|Gold and Silver|s}} and {{game3|HeartGold and SoulSilver|their remakes|s}}.
** An arrangement of the theme used in {{g|GO}} for its Halloween events since 2017, replacing the usual night theme.
** The song "{{so|Ghost Dive}}", performed by [[Polkadot Stingray]].
** The background music of {{g|Sleep}} during the {{DL|List of events in Pokémon Sleep|October 30 − November 5, 2023|Halloween 2023}} event.
** The theme in its original arrangement plays during the [[April Fools' Day 2024]] event of {{g|Masters EX}}, replacing the usual [[Pokémon Center]] theme.
* In the {{pmin|Germany|German versions}}, Lavender Town is called Lavandia, which is the same as the {{pmin|France|French}} name of [[Mauville City]].
* In the Japanese translation of the {{wp|Bible|Christian Bible}}, {{wp|Mount Zion}} is transliterated as '''シオンの{{tt|山|さん}}''' ''Mount Shion'', which coincidentally is the same as the Japanese name of Lavender Town.
* Contrary to popular belief, the Lavender Town background music was not lowered in frequency outside of the Japanese version of [[Generation I]].
* In the [[Generation I]] games, after rescuing [[Mr. Fuji]] atop the [[Pokémon Tower]], the player is automatically warped to his house, landing on the welcome mat's right tile. Due to an oddity, if the player tries to immediately turn around and leave without moving from the tile, they will be unable to (even after saving and resetting the game). Walking at least one tile in any direction will restore the normal behavior of the mat's tile.

The '''Rock Tunnel''' (Japanese: '''イワヤマトンネル''' ''Rock Mountain Tunnel'') is a naturally formed underground tunnel. Since it has not been developed, it is pitch black inside. A light of some sort is needed for travelers to find their way, so it is recommended that [[Pokémon Trainer]]s bring along a {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that can use {{m|Flash}} outside of battle.

Rock Tunnel is the only alternative route to [[Lavender Town]], as the two other routes have been rendered inaccessible by a slumbering {{p|Snorlax}} and the [[Saffron City]] gatekeepers. The cave has two separate floors, both of which are roughly the same size. There are many Trainers within the cave, there for the fun of exploring, training, or are simply lost in the darkness.

{{rt|10|Kanto}} leads from [[Cerulean City]] to Rock Tunnel. At the northern entrance of the cave is a convenient [[Pokémon Center]]. The roof of the [[Kanto Power Plant]] can also be seen from here (excluding Generation III). The southern entrance exits onto the remainder of Route 10, leading to [[Lavender Town]].

In {{g|FireRed and LeafGreen}}, a [[Move Tutor]] who looks like a {{tc|Youngster}}, situated in the northwest area of B1F, will teach the move {{m|Rock Slide}} to a Pokémon.

==Terminology==
The name '''Rock Mountain''' (Japanese: '''イワヤマ''' ''{{tt|Iwayama|Rock Mountain}}'') has been sometimes used to refer to the mountain where the tunnel is located, as well as its surroundings. It appears as one of the areas in [[Pokémon Pinball]] and is used in ''[[Pocket Monsters Encyclopedia]]'' to refer jointly to Route 9 and the northern part of Route 10. In [[Pokémon Adventures]], a three-chapter storyline spanning from ''[[PS053|Can't Catch Caterpie!]]'' to ''[[PS055|The Primeape Directive]]'' is stated to be set in a place called the '''Vast Plains of Rock Mountain''' (Japanese: '''イワヤマの荒野''' ''{{tt|Iwayama|Rock Mountain}} Wasteland'') by the Adventure Map at the end of the volume.

In ''[[Nintendo Power]]'' #125 (page 111), this is known as '''Rock Cave'''.

===''Pokémon the Series''===
===={{aniseries|JN}}====
The Rock Tunnel first appeared in ''[[JN051|Trials of a Budding Master!]]'', after [[Goh]] told {{Ash}} about a [[mass outbreak]] of {{p|Geodude}} in the area. Soon after arriving there, Goh managed to find and {{pkmn2|caught|catch}} himself a {{DL|List of Goh's Pokémon|Geodude}}, after which Ash was challenged to a [[World Coronation Series]] {{pkmn|battle}} by [[Dozer]] and his {{p|Gurdurr}}. Using his {{AP|Farfetch'd}}, Ash emerged victorious after a tough battle, increasing his World Coronation Series rank. However, Ash was then challenged by [[Rinto]], whose {{p|Gallade}} easily dodged all of Farfetch'd's attacks before defeating it with {{m|False Swipe}}.

Rock Tunnel reappeared in ''[[JN061|Searching for Service with a Smile!]]'', where Ash and Goh helped [[Devi and Multa|Multa]] to retrieve a {{pkmn|Trainer}}'s {{p|Tauros}} from the tunnel.

===Pokémon Origins===
Rock Tunnel appeared in ''[[PO02|File 2: Cubone]]'', where {{OBP|Red|Origins}} exited it on his way to [[Lavender Town]].

==Trivia==
* {{tc|Hiker}}{{sup/1|RBY}}{{sup/3|FRLG}}/{{tc|Black Belt}}{{sup/7|PE}} Dudley makes a [[List of references to popular culture in Pokémon|reference]] to the song ''{{wp|Hit Me with Your Best Shot}}'' by {{wp|Pat Benatar}}, saying "Hit me with your best shot!" prior to battle, and "Fired away!" after being defeated.
* One of the {{tc|Poké Maniac}}s in the tunnel makes a reference to ''{{wp|Mobile Fighter G Gundam}}'', saying "Pokémon Fight! Ready, Go!" prior to battle. Official Gundam Fights in the series began with both participants declaring "Gundam Fight! Ready, Go!"
* Rock Tunnel is the only one of Kanto's caves to appear in each of the first four [[generation]]s with the same background music.
* {{wp|Hornblende}} biotite {{wp|granite}} is present here, as revealed in {{Steven}}'s house in [[Mossdeep City]] in [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire]].

'''Mt. Moon''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|お月見山|オツキミやま / おつきみやま}}''' ''Mt. {{wp|Tsukimi|Otsukimi}}''), formatted as '''Mount Moon''' in [[Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl]], is a mountain located in northern [[Kanto]], between [[Pewter City]] in the west and [[Cerulean City]] in the east. It also provides access to [[Mt. Moon Square]] in [[Generation II|Generations II]] and {{gen|IV}}. Climbing does not seem to be possible; to get past it, travelers always need to travel through the caves.

Mt. Moon is known for being one of the few places where {{pkmn2|wild}} {{p|Clefairy}} can be found and for its frequent meteor falls. The shards of meteorites that fall here become [[Moon Stone]]s, which explains the mountain's name. The mountain is also known for being home to Pokémon [[Fossil]]s. [[Brock]] digs for Fossils here in his spare time.

==Geography==
===Generation I===
In the [[Generation I]] games, Mt. Moon's interior is a large cave spanning three floors. Being the first cave that the {{player}} will come across with, Mt. Moon has a very long and complex structure. The first floor contains several ordinary {{pkmn|Trainer}}s, while the basement floor contains {{tc|Team Rocket Grunt|members of Team Rocket}} who are trying to steal [[Fossil]]s from Mt. Moon to market them for money. On the player's way out to [[Cerulean City]], the player will find two Fossils, the [[Dome Fossil]] and the [[Helix Fossil]] that a {{tc|Super Nerd}} claims to have found first. After being defeated in {{pkmn|battle}}, the Super Nerd lets the player choose one of the Fossils while he will take the other one. In {{game|Yellow}}, after the player obtains one of the Fossils, [[Jessie]] and [[James]] will appear for the first time and battle the player. However, they are not referred to as such in-game, sharing their {{DL|Pokémon Trainer|Trainer class}} with that of ordinary {{tc|Team Rocket Grunt}}s.

Players will first encounter {{pkmn2|wild}} {{p|Clefairy}} here at Mt. Moon.

===Generation II===
In {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}, Mt. Moon has dramatically decreased in size from [[Pokémon Red and Green Versions|Pokémon Red, Green]], [[Pokémon Blue Version (Japanese)|Blue]], and {{v2|Yellow}}. It now has only one base floor with a couple of connectors. It is also a spot where the {{player}}'s {{ga|Silver|rival}} is training near the entrance and he will {{pkmn|battle}} the player for the sixth time during the game.

When entering through the [[Pewter City]] entrance, there are two possible paths: one in the eastern direction and another one in the southern direction. By traveling south and then east, the [[Cerulean City]] entrance can be found. However, by traveling east from the Pewter City entrance, the player will end up at the northern side of Mt. Moon, where [[Mt. Moon Square]], its summit, is located. By traveling south in Mt. Moon Square, and entering the southern cavern, there will be a [[ledge]] which can be jumped to instantly access the Cerulean City entrance.

Mt. Moon Square is an area in the heights of Mt. Moon. On {{DL|Days of the week|Monday}} [[Time|nights]], two {{p|Clefairy}} will dance and pray to a large [[Moon Stone]] in the square. By interrupting the dance and breaking the stone using {{m|Rock Smash}}, {{pkmn|Trainer}}s can always find a Moon Stone below the rock. There is also a small shop here that sells a variety of goods.

===Generation III===
Mt. Moon's incarnation in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} is very similar to the original from the [[Generation I]] games. The only major change done for the remakes is the items found within the cave. Another addition is a man who is excavating for [[Fossil]]s in the north-eastern corner of the first floor. He is a friend of [[Brock]] and is a source of one of Brock's [[Fame Checker]] entries.

===Generation IV===
Mt. Moon's incarnation in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} is essentially intact from the [[Generation II]] games, but with updated graphics enhancing the scenery and depicting its mountainous nature more accurately. The only significant changes are in [[Mt. Moon Square]], where four {{p|Clefairy}} will appear instead of the only two that appear in the Generation II games, and the background music being changed to つながりのどうくつ [[Pokémon HeartGold & Pokémon SoulSilver: Super Music Collection|''Union Cave'']], a [[Johto]] theme, from イワヤマトンネル [[Pokémon HeartGold & Pokémon SoulSilver: Super Music Collection|''Rock Tunnel'']], a [[Kanto]] theme, which is the background music that plays here in the Generation II games (the latter being itself a remix of おつきみ{{tt|山|やま}}のどうくつ [[Game Boy: Entire Pokémon Sounds Collection CD|''Caves of Mt. Moon'']] from the [[Generation I]] games).

===Pokémon Pinball===
[[File:Pinball Blue Mt. Moon.png|thumb]]
Mt. Moon appears on the Blue Field as Area 1. Catchable Pokémon include {{p|Rattata}}, {{p|Ekans}}, {{p|Clefairy}}, {{p|Zubat}}, {{p|Paras}}, and {{p|Geodude}}.

==In animation==
[[File:Mt Moon anime.png|thumb|250px|Mt. Moon in {{aniseries|RS}}]]
===''Pokémon the Series''===
Mt. Moon is depicted as being bigger in {{aniseries|PTS}} than it is in the {{pkmn|games}}. It can be clearly seen from as far away as [[Pallet Town]].

===={{aniseries|OS}}====
Mt. Moon first appeared in ''[[EP006|Clefairy and the Moon Stone]]'', when {{Ash}}, {{an|Misty}}, and {{an|Brock}} encountered a scientist named [[Seymour]] and stopped {{TRT}} from stealing a giant [[Moon Stone]]. Brock also {{pkmn2|caught}} himself a {{TP|Brock|Zubat}} here.

Mt. Moon was briefly mentioned in ''[[EP009|The School of Hard Knocks]]'', when Brock pulled out a bottle of Mt. Moon spring water from his [[Bag|backpack]].

====''[[Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire]]''====
In ''[[AG134|A Real Cleffa-Hanger]]'', Ash, Brock, Misty, {{an|May}}, and [[Max]] passed by Mt. Moon on the road to the {{gdis|Battle Factory|III}}. They helped a lost {{p|Cleffa}} reunite with the other [[Pokémon category|Fairy Pokémon]] before Misty headed to the [[Cerulean Gym]] and the rest of {{ashfr|the group}} resumed their journey to the Battle Factory.

[[File:Super Nerd PO.png|thumb|250px|Mt. Moon in [[Pokémon Origins]]]]
Mt. Moon was briefly seen in ''[[PO02|File 2: Cubone]]'', as {{OBP|Red|Origins}} recalled battling a [[Fossil]]-crazy {{tc|Super Nerd}} there.
{{-}}

==In the manga==
[[File:Mt Moon Adventures.png|thumb|250px|Mt. Moon in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
[[File:Mt Moon EToP.png|thumb|left|250px|Mt. Moon in [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]]]]
===Pokémon Adventures===
===={{MangaArc|Red, Green & Blue}}====
Mt. Moon was first mentioned by {{adv|Professor Oak}} in ''[[PS006|Gyarados Splashes In!]]'', telling {{adv|Red}} and [[Misty]] that [[Team Rocket]] was trying to find a [[Moon Stone]] from there. In ''[[PS007|Raging Rhydon]]'', Red and Misty entered the mountain, and encountered a group of {{tc|Team Rocket Grunt}}s led by [[Koga]]. During the battle that ensued, Koga forcibly [[Evolution|evolved]] his {{p|Rhyhorn}} into {{p|Rhydon}} to fight them, but the two Trainers were able to escape when Red collapsed part of the cave. Once he and Misty had exited Mt. Moon, Red revealed that he had found a Moon Stone from the rubble created when he had collapsed the cave.

===={{MangaArc|Yellow}}====
In ''[[PS041|Ponyta Tale]]'', Red received a challenge from [[Bruno]] to come battle him on Mt. Moon. However, when he didn't return in a month, [[Brock]] went to investigate the mountain in ''[[PS055|The Primeape Directive]]''. In ''[[PS064|Putting It on the Line...Against Arcanine]]'', Brock contacted [[Blaine]], informing him that he had discovered an empty ice mold in the shape of Red, with its backside broken open.

In a series of flashbacks spread out across the arc, it was revealed that Red had battled against Bruno, feeling truly challenged and excited for the first time since becoming a [[Pokémon League]] {{pkmn|Champion}} two years earlier. However, the battle was interrupted by [[Lorelei]] and [[Agatha]], who placed Bruno under mind control and wanted to know if Red had the {{badge|Earth}}, which they needed for their plans. When Red refused to help them, the three [[Elite Four]] members attacked Red together, defeating all of {{cat|Red's Pokémon|his Pokémon}} and encasing him in ice. Only Red's {{p|Pikachu}}, [[Pika]], was able to escape. Red was later freed from his icy prison by {{adv|Giovanni}}, who also gave him a set of special unexpiring [[Evolution stone]]s to be used on his [[Vee|Eevee]].

In ''[[PS076|Take a Chance on Chansey]]'', {{tc|Super Nerd}} {{adv|Miles}} revealed that he and his friends had found Red frozen in ice a month earlier, as well as a fragment of Red's glove. He had afterwards been approached by Agatha, who had tasked him with capturing Pika, but he had failed.

===The Electric Tale of Pikachu===
Mt. Moon appeared in ''[[ET03|Clefairy Tale]]'', where {{OBP|Ash Ketchum|EToP|Ash}} traveled there in the hopes of catching a {{p|Clefairy}}. After three agonizing weeks in the wilderness, Ash and {{AP|Pikachu|Pikachu (EToP)}} accidentally followed a Clefairy into an occupied {{p|Onix}} nest. After escaping from Onix, they encountered {{an|Professor Oak}} and [[Bill]], who had come to research the local Clefairy. Together, they witnessed a Clefairy [[Evolution]] ritual before parting ways, with Professor Oak giving Ash a [[Pokédex]] upgrade to commemorate their encounter.

==In the novels==
===Pokémon Tales===
In ''[[PB01|Charmander Sees a Ghost]]'', there is a big empty house at the foot of Mt. Moon.

==In the TCG==
[[File:TCG Mount Moon.png|thumb|Mt. Moon as depicted in the {{pkmn|Trading Card Game|TCG}}]]

The '''Safari Ball''' (Japanese: '''サファリボール''' ''Safari Ball'') is a type of [[Poké Ball]] introduced in [[Generation I]]. It can be used to {{pkmn2|caught|catch}} [[wild Pokémon]] during a [[Safari Zone|Safari Game]].

==In the core series games==
===Price===
{{ItemPrice/head|Poké Balls}}
{{ItemPrice|{{gameabbrev1|RBY}}/{{gameabbrev1|RGBY}} {{gameabbrev2|GSC}} {{gameabbrev3|RSEFRLG}} {{gameabbrev4|DPPtHGSS}} {{gameabbrev5|BWB2W2}} {{gameabbrev6|XYORAS}} {{gameabbrev7|SMUSUMPE}} {{gameabbrev8|SwSh}} {{gameabbrev9|SV}}|N/A|N/A}}
|}
|}

===Effect===
====Generation I====
When used in a {{pkmn2|wild}} encounter, it will attempt to catch the wild Pokémon with a [[catch rate]] modifier of 2×. The {{player}} can only have these Poké Balls in their possession during a [[Safari Zone|Safari Game]].

====Generation II to VII====
The Safari Ball's catch rate modifier is now 1.5×.

====Generation VIII====
Starting in {{g|Sword and Shield}}'s [[The Isle of Armor]] [[Pokémon Sword and Shield Expansion Pass|Expansion]], the Safari Ball can now be obtained outside of a Safari Game and used in regular wild encounters. The Safari Ball cannot be used in situations in which Poké Balls cannot be used, such as in wild battles with two or more opponents currently present. If used in a Trainer battle, the opposing Trainer will bat the ball away, wasting the player's turn.

The Safari Ball's catch rate modifier is 1× in Pokémon Sword and Shield, but was changed back to 1.5× in {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}}.

====Generation IX====
The Safari Ball's catch rate modifier is once again 1×.

|}
|}

===Acquisition===
When the player participates in a [[Safari Zone|Safari Game]], they receive 30 Safari Balls exclusively for use within the Safari Game. They are not placed in the player's [[Bag]], and any unused Safari Balls are returned at the end of the Safari Game.

In {{game|Yellow}} only, if the player does not have the required {{PDollar}}500 to enter the Safari Zone, they can instead pay all of their money and receive a number of Safari Balls proportional to the amount paid. If they have no money, they can enter for free and receive a single Safari Ball.

====Pokémon X and Y====
Despite being unobtainable as an item in [[Generation VI]], a Safari Ball appears in the {{DL|Autumnal Avenue|Poké Ball Boutique}} in [[Lumiose City]].

[[Kiloude City]]'s [[Friend Safari]] building contains a Safari Ball on its sign. However, the Friend Safari does not act like a typical [[Safari Zone]] and Safari Balls are not legitimately obtainable or used in the game.

==In the spin-off games==
===Pokémon GO===
[[File:GO Safari Ball.png|thumb|120px|The GO Safari Ball in Pokémon GO]]
In {{g|GO}}, the Safari Ball is called the '''GO Safari Ball''', a special, event-exclusive Poké Ball with a higher catch rate than other Poké Balls. Its only visual difference from other Safari Balls is the word "GO" on the top of the ball.

The GO Safari Ball is available in Pokémon GO during [[List of events in Pokémon GO|GO Wild Area events]]. When a Wild Area event is active, players can receive GO Safari Balls by spinning Photo Discs at [[PokéStop]]s and {{GO|Gym}}s. Players with an event ticket can also receive GO Safari Balls from hourly Timed Research. All unused GO Safari Balls expire and disappear from the player's [[Bag]] at the end of each day of the event.<ref>[https://pokemongolive.com/gowildarea/gameplay Event Gameplay – Pokémon GO]</ref><ref>[https://pokemongolive.com/gowildarea/global Pokémon GO Wild Area: Global]</ref>

Pokémon caught in GO Safari Balls are unable to be transferred to {{g|HOME}} via the [[GO Transporter]]. However, they can be transferred to [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]] via [[GO Park]].

GO Safari Balls cannot be used during {{p|Scatterbug}} and {{GO|Shadow Pokémon}} encounters. They also cannot be used during [[Legendary Pokémon|Legendary]] encounters from research tasks.

===''Pokémon the Series''===
===={{aniseries|OS}}====
In [[EP035]], [[Kaiser]] gave {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} 30 Safari Balls to be used within the [[Kanto Safari Zone]]. Ash attempted to {{pkmn2|caught|catch}} various rare Pokémon with them, but he ultimately ended up using all of his Safari Balls on nothing but {{AP|Tauros}}. The Safari Balls containing Ash's Tauros reappeared in ''[[EP065|Showdown at the Po-Ké Corral]]''; however, for an unexplained reason, whenever Ash has subsequently used one of his Tauros in a {{pkmn|battle}}, it has been sent out from a standard {{i|Poké Ball}}.

===={{aniseries|DP}}====
A Safari Ball appeared in [[Which One ~ Is It?]], a Japanese ending theme from {{aniseries|DP}}, also marking the debut of the Ball's in-game design in the {{pkmn|animated series}}.

===={{aniseries|XY}}====
In ''[[XY079|A Frenzied Factory Fiasco!]]'', while Safari Balls themselves did not appear at the [[Poké Ball Factory]], {{MTR}} was briefly painted on with the Safari Ball's camouflage pattern, revealing that these Balls are made at the factory. This is also the first time that the games' design of Safari Balls has appeared in the animated series, outside of openings and endings.

Safari Balls first appeared in ''[[PS021|Long Live the Nidoking!]]'' and ''[[PS022|A Hollow Victreebel]]'', where {{adv|Red}} received some from the robotic {{safari|Kanto}} guide called [[Pidgebot]], eventually catching a huge herd of Safari Zone Pokémon with them.

===={{MangaArc|Diamond & Pearl}}====
In ''[[PS364|A Skuffle with Skorupi]]'', {{adv|Diamond}}, {{adv|Pearl}}, and {{adv|Platinum}} entered the [[Great Marsh]] and received some Safari Balls to be used during the Safari Game, intending to catch a {{type|Grass}} Pokémon for Platinum to use against [[Crasher Wake]]. However, in the end, they failed to catch a single new Pokémon.

===={{MangaArc|HeartGold & SoulSilver}}====
In ''[[PS446|Weavile Wobbles But It Won't Fall Down]]'', {{adv|Silver}} received some Safari Balls while entering the [[Johto Safari Zone]]. He tried to use one on an {{p|Arbok}}, but [[Eusine]] stopped him, due to him having violated the Safari Zone's no-battling rule by attacking the Arbok with his {{TP|Silver|Weavile}}.

===Pokémon Zensho===
In ''[[PZ06|Fuchsia City]]'', {{zensho|Satoshi}} received some Safari Balls while entering the Safari Zone.

The '''Great Ball''' (Japanese: '''スーパーボール''' ''Super Ball'') is a type of [[Poké Ball]] introduced in [[Generation I]]. It is an improved variant of the regular {{i|Poké Ball}} that can be used to catch [[wild Pokémon]].

==In the core series games==
===Price===
{{ItemPrice/head|Poké Balls}}
{{ItemPrice|{{gameabbrev1|RGBY}}/{{gameabbrev1|RBY}} {{gameabbrev2|GSC}} {{gameabbrev3|RSEFRLG}} {{gameabbrev4|DPPtHGSS}} {{gameabbrev5|BWB2W2}} {{gameabbrev6|XYORAS}} {{gameabbrev7|SMUSUM}} {{gameabbrev8|SwSh}}{{gameabbrev8|BDSP}}|{{PDollar}}600|{{PDollar}}300}}

{{ItemPrice|{{gameabbrev9|SV}}|{{PDollar}}600|{{PDollar}}150}}
|}
|}
In {{game|Crystal}}, a Great Ball costs {{PDollar}}500 during the [[Goldenrod Department Store#Rooftop Lookout|Goldenrod Department Store rooftop sale]].

===Effect===
====Manual activation====
When used from the [[Bag]] in a {{pkmn2|wild}} encounter, it will attempt to catch the wild Pokémon with a [[catch rate]] modifier of 1.5×.

If used on an [[Ultra Beast]], the catch rate modifier is instead always set to 410/4096× (~0.1×).

The Great Ball cannot be used in situations in which Poké Balls cannot be used, such as in wild battles with two or more opponents currently present or against a [[Island challenge|trial]] Pokémon. If used in a Trainer battle (except if used as a [[Snag Ball]] on a [[Shadow Pokémon]]), the opposing Trainer will deflect it, wasting the ball (in [[Generation III]] and earlier) or only the player's turn (from [[Generation IV]] onward). If used on the [[Marowak (ghost)|ghost Marowak]], it will dodge it, wasting the ball.

====Held item====
{{m|Fling}} fails if the user is holding a Great Ball.

==In the side series games==
===Pokémon Stadium 2===
In [[Pokémon Stadium 2]], Great Balls appear in the mini-game {{p|Furret}}'s Frolic. They are worth two points each.

==In the spin-off games==
===Pokémon Shuffle===
[[File:Shuffle Great Ball.png|thumb|200px|Using a Great Ball on {{p|Pancham}} in Pokémon Shuffle]]
In {{g|Shuffle}}, whenever the player defeats an uncaught Pokémon that is not a [[Trainer]]'s [[Mega Evolve]]d Pokémon, they get a chance to [[Caught Pokémon|catch that Pokémon]] with a regular [[Poké Ball]] provided automatically. If the Pokémon escapes that Poké Ball, the player is prompted to purchase a Great Ball. Great Balls cost 2500 Coins in the 3DS version of the game and 3500 Coins in Pokémon Shuffle Mobile. This Great Ball is immediately used against the Pokémon. If a Great Ball fails, the player can purchase another, unless they have already used four Great Balls on the current catch attempt. If the fourth Great Ball fails, or if the player chooses not to purchase a Great Ball at any point, the Pokémon runs away and the stage concludes. The Pokémon also has a chance to flee each time it escapes a Great Ball.

Using a Great Ball doubles the Pokémon's current [[Caught Pokémon|catchability]], increasing the chance of a capture succeeding. This is not repeated when the player purchases further Great Balls. On rare occasions, [[Pokémon Shuffle#Catching Pokémon|Super Catch Power]] will activate after the catchability doubling but before the prompt for the Great Ball. Super Catch Power boosts the player's odds of catching the Pokémon to 50% or more. This can only be taken advantage of by using a Great Ball, since the player is past the point they are allowed to throw a Poké Ball.

Catchability maxes out at 100%, which is displayed as "MAX". Therefore, the Great Ball will not fully double the catchability if the catchability is already at 51% or higher.
{{-}}

===Pokémon GO===
[[File:GO Great Ball.png|thumb|150px|A Great Ball in Pokémon GO]]
Great Balls can be used during wild Pokémon encounters to attempt to capture a wild Pokémon with a {{OBP|catch rate|GO}} modifier of 1.5×.

====Description====
{{movedesc|Poké Balls}}
{{movedescentry|{{gameabbrevss|GO}}|A high-performance ball with a higher catch rate than a standard Poké Ball.}}
|}
|}

====Acquisition====
The player is awarded Great Balls when they [[Trainer level|level up]] to any level from 12 to 19.

Great Balls can also be repeatably obtained by
* Spinning the Photo Disc of [[PokéStop]]s or {{OBP|Gym|GO}}s (Lv. 12+)
* [[Field Research]]
* Opening a [[Gift]] (Lv. 12+)

===Pokémon Pinball series===
In [[Pokémon Pinball]] and [[Pokémon Pinball: Ruby & Sapphire]], the Great Ball multiplies bonus points by ×2.

===Pokémon Frienda===
{{incomplete|section|needs=Image}}
In [[Pokémon Frienda]], after a set number of [[move]]s have been used and at least one opposing Pokémon has fainted, the player can insert ¥100 for a chance to catch all of the opposing Pokémon. A spinning wheel determines what Poké Balls are used on the Pokémon, with one of the options being a Great Ball.

==In the TCG==

{{main|Great Ball (EX FireRed & LeafGreen 92)}}
The '''Great Ball''' was introduced as a {{TCG|Trainer card}} in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] during the English EX Series (the Japanese PCG Era). It was first released in the Japanese {{TCG|Flight of Legends}} expansion and the English {{TCG|EX FireRed & LeafGreen}} expansion, with artwork by [[Nakaoka]]. It originally allowed the player to search their deck for any {{TCG|Basic Pokémon}} (excluding {{TCG|Pokémon-ex}}), and put it onto their Bench. Then, they shuffle their deck. During the English Black & White Series (the Japanese BW Era) the card was reclassified as an {{TCG|Item card}}, and the card received [[errata]] to change the effect. Now, it lets the player search the top seven cards of the deck for any one Pokémon card, put it in their hand, and then shuffle the other cards back into their deck. Great Ball has been reprinted many times since.

{{TCG ID|Double Crisis|Team Magma's Great Ball|31}} and {{TCG ID|Double Crisis|Team Aqua's Great Ball|27}} are [[Team Magma]] and [[Team Aqua]] versions of Great Balls. They are Item cards, and were printed in the English {{TCG|Double Crisis}} expansion and Japanese {{TCG|Magma Gang VS Aqua Gang: Double Crisis}} expansion. Team Magma's Great Ball lets the player search their deck for a for a Basic Team Magma Pokémon and a [[Basic Fighting Energy (TCG)|Basic]] {{e|Fighting}} [[Basic Fighting Energy (TCG)|Energy]] and put them in their hand. Team Aqua's Great Ball lets the player search their deck for a for a Basic Team Aqua Pokémon and a [[Basic Water Energy (TCG)|Basic]] {{e|Water}} [[Basic Water Energy (TCG)|Energy]] and put them in their hand. For both cards, the deck is shuffled afterward.

{{Incomplete|article|More Generation V, VII, and VIII info}}
[[File:Trade anime.png|thumb|300px|A trade in progress in {{aniseries|JN}}]]
A '''trade''' (Japanese: '''{{j|{{tt|交換|こうかん}}}}''' ''exchange''), also known as a '''Link Trade''' (Japanese: '''{{j|{{tt|通信交換|つうしんこうかん}}}}''' ''Link Exchange''), is a process in which a [[Pokémon Trainer]] sends one of their {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} to another Trainer in exchange for one of the other Trainer's Pokémon.

==In the core series games==
In every [[core series]] Pokémon game except [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]], trading is necessary to collect all the [[Pokémon availability|available Pokémon]]. The [[version-exclusive Pokémon]] are those that are found in other related games. In addition, some Pokémon [[Trade Evolution|evolve when traded]]. Some of these Pokémon need to be [[held item|holding]] a specific [[Evolution item]] in order to evolve.

Starting from [[Generation II]], [[item]]s can be held by Pokémon, allowing indirect trading of holdable items. However, in Generation IV, the [[Griseous Orb]] cannot be traded, as it will automatically be put back in the Bag when a player with Origin Forme Giratina in their party enters the Union Room or Wi-Fi Room. [[Mail]] may also be held to send a message.

Until {{B2W2}}, all trading animations in the [[core series]] games used the standard {{i|Poké Ball}}, regardless of the types of Balls the traded Pokémon were actually caught in. This is corrected in Black 2 and White 2, in which trade animations show the correct Poké Ball the Pokémon was caught in.

===Results of trading===
====Benefits====
[[File:SM Prerelease Trade.png|thumb|200px|Trading a {{p|Togedemaru}} for a {{p|Pikipek}} in {{pkmn|Sun and Moon}}]]
Trading is necessary in order to collect every Pokémon in the [[Pokédex]], as some Pokémon [[Version-exclusive Pokémon|can only be found]] in certain versions. For example, because {{p|Meowth}} cannot be found in {{game|Red and Blue|s|Red}}, the player must trade with someone who has obtained one from Blue, in which Meowth is readily found in the wild. Some Pokémon only [[Trade Evolution|evolve after being traded]].

Traded Pokémon gain 1.5× the normal [[experience]] after a [[Pokémon battle]]. Pokémon traded from a game in another language will gain 1.7× experience.

Trading may also be used to transfer limited and rare items in games from [[Generation II]] onward, such as [[Master Ball]]s or [[Soul Dew]]s, from one game to another by [[Held item|giving a Pokémon an item]].

In [[Generation VI]], Trainers receive [[Poké Mile]]s for every trade made with another player. In [[Generation VII]], Trainers may receive [[Pokémon Dollar#Other currencies|Festival Coin]]s instead.

====Drawbacks====
A Pokémon with an [[original Trainer]] different from its current Trainer is referred to as an [[outsider Pokémon]], and will only obey a Trainer with the sufficient number of [[Badge|Gym Badges]] or [[Island challenge|Stamps]]. The [[friendship]] of a Pokémon is set to its [[List of Pokémon by base friendship|base friendship]] when it is traded from one game to another, unless returned to its original Trainer in [[Generation VI]] or later. In addition, a traded Pokémon's nickname cannot be changed by anyone but the original Trainer, even if it hasn't been given a nickname (however, in Gen VIII, outsider Pokémon without nicknames can be nicknamed).

Traded Pokémon are identified by the Pokémon's [[Original Trainer]] name and a five- or six-digit [[Trainer ID number|ID Number]]. Starting in [[Generation III]], even if two games have the same name and ID number, each Trainer also has a [[secret ID number]]. The odds of two Trainers having the same secret ID numbers is 1/65536 or approximately 0.002%, making it extremely unlikely that an outsider Pokémon will be treated as a regular Pokémon on a different cartridge.

While beneficial in their own right, [[trade Evolution]]s cannot be canceled manually, requiring Pokémon that evolve when traded without a specific held item to hold an [[Everstone]] in order to stay in their current form. In [[Generation IV]] and onwards, however, the Everstone fails to prevent a traded {{p|Kadabra}} from evolving into {{p|Alakazam}}.

===Trading process===
====Generations I-IV====
The actual trading interface remained largely the same throughout the series' first four generations: Each player selects one Pokémon from their party to offer for trade; once decided, they can review the [[stats]] (and, when applicable, [[Ability]] or [[item]]) of the other Pokémon before confirming or cancelling the trade. The player may perform multiple trades in a row.

It is not possible to trade Pokémon stored in the [[PC]] in these generations, so they must be placed in the party prior to speaking with the receptionist at a Pokémon Center.

Generation IV's [[Global Trade System]] utilized a separate trading process, in which players deposited one Pokémon at a time (requesting another Pokémon in exchange) and other players searched and traded for them at their leisure. Once traded, the original player received the Pokémon upon logging in to the GTS. If the Pokémon was not traded, the original player was able to cancel the offer by withdrawing their Pokémon from the GTS. Due to the Wi-Fi shutdown, this feature is no longer officially supported as of May 20, 2014.

====Generation V====
{{anchor|Negotiation Trade}}
The trading process received an overhaul in Generation V: now called a '''Negotiation Trade''' (Japanese: '''{{j|ネゴシエーション{{tt|交換|こうかん}}}}''' ''Negotiation Exchange''), it allows players to offer and trade Pokémon from either their current party or directly from their PC's storage system.

During the trade, each player may select up to three Pokémon to offer the other player. Once decided, they may review the offered Pokémon (checking stats, Ability, etc.) and confirm one to be traded. Players may trade several Pokémon in a row if desired.

Players registered on each other's [[Pal Pad]] can communicate with live voice chat during the trade. A set of four emoticons (Smile Mark, Saddened Mark, Heart Mark, Surprise Mark) also allows for limited communication between players. In addition to showing the Pokémon on offer, the top screen also includes an abstract glimpse of the other player's Pokémon collection in the form of PC boxes with individual Pokémon represented by their [[List of Pokémon by color|Pokédex color]].

The GTS, in addition to the deposit/search-based system introduced in Generation IV, receives a second trading mode ("GTS Negotiations") allowing two players to connect and trade Pokémon using this system. Like Generation IV, Generation V's GTS was shut down in 2014.

====Generation VI====
Trading functions (including the GTS) are no longer a service of Pokémon Centers, but are instead accessible at any time through the [[Player Search System]] on the [[Nintendo 3DS]]'s lower screen.

The trading process has been streamlined since Generation V, with each player showing only one Pokémon at a time (instead of three) before being prompted to make an offer. Chat emoticons have been removed, but voice chat is still available when the player trades with someone on their 3DS's Friends List.

The GTS has also been updated, now allowing the player to enter the species name of any Pokémon using a "What Pokémon?" option in the Pokémon selection list. This allows players to trade for Pokémon that they have not seen in the game.

A third trading method, called [[Wonder Trade]], is introduced this generation: when performing a Wonder Trade, the player selects one of their Pokémon and it is immediately traded with another player using Wonder Trade, with no further confirmation or any communication between players, meaning that the Pokémon the player receives in exchange for theirs is a complete surprise.

====Generation VII====
The PSS has been replaced and split between the [[Quick Link]] and [[Festival Plaza]] options in the [[menu]]. Quick Link allows for players to locally trade Pokémon, while the Festival Plaza allows for trading through the Internet. The GTS and Wonder Trade are usable while in the Festival Plaza.

The GTS is similar to its Generation VI counterpart, though filtering has been adjusted and searching for a Pokémon by letter will now show that Pokémon's icon next to its name.

===Limitations on trading===
====Trading between game generations====
Pokémon can be traded between [[Generation I]] and [[Generation II]] games using the [[Time Capsule]] feature. For compatibility purposes, the Pokémon to be traded from the Generation II game must be {{cat|Generation I Pokémon|a species that existed in Generation I}} and cannot have any {{cat|Generation II moves|moves introduced in Generation II}}. The [[Time Capsule exploit]] can be used to trick the game into trading {{cat|Generation II Pokémon}} back to [[Generation I]] as well, but they will become [[glitch Pokémon]] like [[MissingNo.]]. Additionally, the {{DL|List of glitches in Generation I|trade Evolution learnset oversight}} can also be used to trade a Pokémon with a Generation II move back to a Generation I game, though it will become a [[glitch move]]. This is the only instance in the series in which players can directly trade Pokémon using games in different generations ({{g|HOME}} allows trading Pokémon last used in different generations, but only within HOME itself).

It is not officially possible to trade between Generation II and [[Generation III]] games.

Starting in [[Generation IV]], Pokémon from previous generations can be [[transfer]]red to newer generations (and from [[Generation IX]] back to [[Generation VIII]]) through a variety of methods, though none of them involve trading.

====Inter-language trading====
=====Generation I and II=====
In the Generation I and II core series games, Western language games (English, French, German, Italian, Spanish) can all trade with each other without issue. Attempting to trade between Japanese and non-Japanese Generation I and II core series games causes corruption of both save files.<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20221009111851/http://www.nintendo.com/consumer/systems/gameboy/trouble_specificgame.jsp#erasing</ref>

The Korean versions of Pokémon Gold and Silver can successfully trade with Western language Generation I and II games (but not Japanese games). However, due the [[Character encoding (Generation II)|character encoding]] differences, {{wp|Hangul}} characters (i.e. in the names of traded Pokémon and their Original Trainers) will become garbled on Western language games, possibly including control characters which may have unexpected effects. However, unlike attempting to trade between Western and Japanese games, save data is not corrupted. Conversely, attempting to trade between Japanese and Korean games will corrupt both games' save files.

In the Virtual Console releases of the Generation I and II games, different language Western Virtual Console games can communicate; however, Japanese, Korean, and Western games cannot connect to each other at all. In the Korean Virtual Console release of Pokémon Gold and Silver, this effectively makes the [[Time Capsule]] and [[Diploma]] inaccessible barring glitches.

In these games, a Pokémon is determined to be [[nickname]]d if its name does not match its species name. As a result, if an unnicknamed Pokémon is traded to a game in a different language where the Pokémon's species has a different name, its name will be treated as nickname. For example, in an English Generation I or II game, a foreign {{p|Pichu}} named "PICHU" will evolve into a {{p|Pikachu}} nicknamed "PIKACHU", but a foreign {{p|Charmander}} named "[[List of French Pokémon names|SALAMECHE]]" will retain the name "SALAMECHE" after evolving into a {{p|Charmeleon}} as if it were a nickname. Because these games do not track [[language of origin]], if a traded Pokémon from Generation I or II is sent to the [[Pokémon Bank]] via the [[Poké Transporter]], its language of origin is determined based on the game from which the Pokémon is transferred, not the game from which it originally came.

=====Generation III=====
In the Generation III core series games, trading became possible between all versions of the games.

In Japanese, Pokémon and Trainer names have a 5 character limit, in contrast to the 10 character limit in Western language games. If a Pokémon whose name or Original Trainer is longer than 5 characters is traded to a Japanese game, in the Japanese game it will only display the first 5 characters.

In [[Generation III]] (except in v1.0 of English {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}), if a Pokémon originates from a different language to the current game, when it evolves its name will not be changed, with the old name treated as a nickname; thus, if a {{p|Pichu}} named "PICHU" from an Italian game is evolved in an English game, when it evolves it will be a {{p|Pikachu}} nicknamed "PICHU". In v1.0 of English Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire, like in the Generation I and II games, if a Pokémon's current name is the same as its species name in the language of the game in which it was evolved, it will be treated as non-nicknamed, so its species name will change upon Evolution.

=====Generation IV=====
In the Generation IV core series games, with the advent of worldwide online trading via [[Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection]], trading between different languages is better supported. All languages except Korean can freely trade with each other without issue.

Due to Pokémon Korea and Nintendo of Korea debuting after the initial release of Generation IV, no non-Korean Generation IV games support {{wp|Hangul}} characters. This prevents Korean language games from trading with Generation IV games in other languages. However, Korean language games can migrate Pokémon from Generation III games of any language.

If an unnicknamed Pokémon evolves, its name is changed to the name of its species after Evolution in its current game's language (regardless of its [[language of origin]]). In these games, there is a separate flag to indicate whether a Pokémon is nicknamed.

Pokémon from foreign-language games unlock [[foreign Pokédex entries]] if traded to a game of a different language. In {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}, foreign Pokédex entries can only be obtained for 14 specific Pokémon; in {{game2|HeartGold|SoulSilver|Platinum}}, foreign Pokédex entries can be unlocked for all Pokémon.

=====Generation V onwards=====
Starting in Generation V, Pokémon can be traded between all games, regardless of language.

From Generation IV to VII, if an unnicknamed Pokémon evolves or a Pokémon hatches without being given a nickname, its name becomes the name of its species in its current game's language (regardless of its [[language of origin]]). For example, a French {{p|Bulbasaur}} without a nickname that evolves in an English-language game will evolve into an {{p|Ivysaur}} named "Ivysaur", but will still be flagged as a French-language Pokémon and will unlock the corresponding foreign Pokédex entries for Ivysaur and {{p|Venusaur}} as it evolves.

In Generation VIII onwards, if an unnicknamed Pokémon evolves, its name will change to that of the evolved form in its [[language of origin]]. For example, a French Bulbasaur without a nickname that evolves in an English-language game will evolve into an Ivysaur named "Herbizarre".

====Hardware requirements====
Trading requires two game consoles and two Pokémon games of compatible generations. Nintendo's intention is that players trade with friends, although some serious players purchase multiple consoles.

Prior to {{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}}, trading required a [[Game Link Cable]]. {{3v2|FireRed|LeafGreen|Emerald}} can trade using a [[GBA Wireless Adapter]] or a Game Link Cable. From [[Generation IV]] onwards, trading uses wireless communication and does not require additional hardware beyond two consoles. Although the Nintendo DS supports [[Generation III]] games, it cannot be used to trade between those games as the DS lacks hardware support for the Game Link Cable.

The [[Nintendo Switch]] allows multiple users to use a single console, and the Switch version of [[Pokémon HOME]] allows one user to access all save files on the console. Therefore, Pokémon can be moved between save files on the same Switch without trading.

====Pokémon that cannot be traded====
=====Mid-generation additions=====
Starting with Generation IV, mid-generation releases started including new moves, items, forms, or even species of Pokémon. Since, prior to Generation VIII, they were impossible to trade to games that predate them, additional limitations have been put in place for them specifically. Most can be circumvented by altering the Pokémon's moveset, held item and/or form, and with the exception of the [[Spiky-eared Pichu]]-related limitation, all of them have been lifted in their respective following Generations:

In Generation IV or V, new forms or items cannot be traded at all, even between games that support them. They include:
* Introduced in {{game|Platinum}}:
** New {{p|Rotom}} and {{p|Shaymin}} forms, the Pokémon automatically revert to their original forms before they can be traded.
** The Origin Forme {{p|Giratina}} must regain its Altered Forme by unequipping the [[Griseous Orb]] before it can be traded.
* Introduced in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}:
** The [[Spiky-eared Pichu]]. Since it cannot change forms, it cannot be traded at all.
* Introduced in [[Pokémon Black and White Versions 2|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2]]:
** The [[forces of nature]] cannot be traded while in their Therian Formes, they must be returned to their Incarnate Formes by using the [[Reveal Glass]].
** Resolute Form {{p|Keldeo}} must revert to its Ordinary Form by forgetting {{m|Secret Sword}} before it can be traded.

In Generation VI and VII ([[3DS]] games only), Pokémon with new moves, as well as new forms, items, and species can be freely traded between games that support them, but cannot be sent back to those that predate them:
* Introduced in {{game|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire|s}}, cannot be traded to {{game|X and Y|s}}:
** Pokémon holding new [[Mega Stone]]s or [[Colored orbs]].
** The [[Cosplay Pikachu]].
** While it can be traded to {{game|X and Y|s}}, Unbound {{p|Hoopa}} will automatically revert to its Confined form.
** Pokémon with {{m|Precipice Blades}}, {{m|Origin Pulse}}, {{m|Dragon Ascent}} and {{m|Hyperspace Fury}} can only be traded to X and Y if those moves are forgotten.
* Introduced in {{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}}, cannot be traded to {{g|Sun and Moon}}:
** New species introduced in the games: {{p|Poipole}}, {{p|Naganadel}}, {{p|Stakataka}}, {{p|Blacephalon}}, and {{p|Zeraora}}.
** Partner Cap Pikachu, Rockruff with {{a|Own Tempo}} (which the game considers to be a new form) and Dusk Form Lycanroc.
** Pokémon with {{m|Mind Blown}}, {{m|Plasma Fists}}, and {{m|Photon Geyser}} can only be traded to Sun and Moon if those moves are forgotten.

Starting with [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], main series games no longer support direct trades between games that aren't paired releases, rendering this matter moot.

DLC packs for {{game|Sword and Shield|s}} and {{game|Scarlet and Violet|s}} that introduce new moves, items, forms, and species, also come with free compatibility updates that are installed regardless of the purchase of said DLC, avoiding this issue completely.

=====Other cases=====
Pokémon with certain {{DL|Ribbon|Gift Ribbons}} (such as the {{DL|List of Ribbons in the games|Classic Ribbon}}) cannot be traded over the GTS or through Wonder Trade.

Due to requiring special handling by the game, fused Pokémon cannot be traded. These are Black and White {{p|Kyurem}}, Dawn Wings and Dusk Mane {{p|Necrozma}} and Ice Rider and Shadow Rider {{p|Calyrex}}.

Due to being tied to a significant number of game mechanics in their respective games, {{OBP|partner Pokémon|Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!}} in [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]] and the befriended [[Koraidon (game)|Koraidon]]{{sup/9|S}}/[[Miraidon (game)|Miraidon]]{{sup/9|V}} in {{g|Scarlet and Violet}} cannot be traded. In both cases, the game offers means to catch additional specimens of the same species to which the restriction does not apply. Also, in [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], the currently selected [[walking Pokémon]] cannot be traded until it is deselected.

===Requirements for trading===
====Generation I====
The {{player}} cannot trade Pokémon before getting a [[Pokédex]] from [[Professor Oak]] at [[Pallet Town]].

====Generation II====
The player cannot trade Pokémon before transporting the [[Mystery Egg]] to [[Professor Elm]]. The [[Time Capsule]] cannot be used until the player has met [[Bill]] at [[Ecruteak City]]'s [[Pokémon Center]], and waiting until the next day when setup is completed.

====Generation III====
In order for the player to be able to trade from Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald to Pokémon Colosseum or Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness; they need at least two (non-{{pkmn|Egg}}) Pokémon in their party. To be able to trade from Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen to Pokémon Colosseum and Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness, the player needs to help [[Celio]] upgrade the [[Pokémon Network Center]] to Link Level 2.

====={{2v2|Ruby|Sapphire}}=====
The player cannot trade Pokémon before getting a [[Pokédex]] from [[Professor Birch]] at [[Littleroot Town]]. To trade with another game, the player must have at least two Pokémon in the party. Trading with FireRed, LeafGreen, or Emerald will automatically activate the National Pokédex.

====={{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}}=====
The player cannot trade Pokémon before getting a [[Pokédex]] from Professor Oak at Pallet Town. The player must have at least two Pokémon in the party in order to trade with another game.

In a departure from the main series' tradition, additional limitations on trades were put in place, which cannot be lifted before completing the game at least once:
* At the beginning of the game, trades are only possible with other copies of FireRed and LeafGreen. In addition, trades involving Eggs or Pokémon not in the Kanto Pokédex are blocked. Pokémon that [[Evolution|evolve]] into a [[Generation II]] Pokémon by trading will stop evolving.
* Obtaining the National Pokédex unblocks trades for Pokémon and Eggs outside of the Regional Pokédex.
* Bringing the {{i|Ruby}} and {{i|Sapphire}} Key Items to complete [[Celio]]'s {{DL|Pokémon Network Center|Network Machine}} allows trades with Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald versions, as well as with [[Pokémon Colosseum]] and [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]].

=====[[Pokémon Emerald Version|Emerald]]=====
The player cannot trade Pokémon before getting a [[Pokédex]] from [[Professor Birch]] at [[Littleroot Town]]. To trade with another game, the player must have at least two Pokémon in the party.

Restrictions similar to those in FireRed and LeafGreen also apply to this version:
* At the beginning of the game, trades are only possible with other copies of Emerald, as well as [[Pokémon Colosseum|Colosseum]], Ruby and Sapphire. In addition to that, trades that involve Eggs or Pokémon that aren't in the Hoenn Pokédex are blocked unless Colosseum is trading non-Hoenn Dex Pokémon to Emerald.
* Obtaining the National Pokédex unblocks trades for Pokémon outside of the Regional Pokédex, as well as Eggs, and allows trading with FireRed and LeafGreen, as well as with [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]].

====Generation IV====
[[File:Platinum trade ball.png|frame|A trade in Generation IV]]
====={{3v2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}=====
The player cannot trade Pokémon before getting a [[Pokédex]] from [[Professor Rowan]] at [[Sandgem Town]]. Also, to trade with another game, the player has to have at least two Pokémon in the party. It is possible to obtain a non-regional Pokémon when trading Pokémon from another Generation IV game ''without'' having acquired the National Pokédex. In Platinum, the player is now able to press B to select the "CANCEL" button.

====={{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}=====
Similar to Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum, trading cannot occur until the player has obtained their Pokédex from [[Professor Oak]] at [[Mr. Pokémon|Mr. Pokémon's house]]. The player must have at least two Pokémon in the party in order to trade with another game; but no additional prerequisite is needed to trade with the Sinnoh games: this can be done at the very beginning of the game.

====Generation V====
====={{2v2|Black|White}}=====
The player cannot trade Pokémon until they have obtained the {{badge|Trio}} from the [[Striaton Gym]] and completed the [[C-Gear]] sub-quest for [[Fennel]]. This prevents the player from trading for a Pokémon that knows {{m|Cut}} in order to access the blocked-off section of [[Dreamyard]] early, as [[HM]] usage is not restricted by [[Badge]] ownership in Unova.

The player is also prevented from trading party Pokémon that know any [[HM]] move via Infrared Connection, most likely to prevent trading away a Pokémon whose HM move is needed in a certain area. An example of this would be trading away any Pokémon in the party who know Fly or Surf while on a patch of land surrounded by water.

====={{2v2|Black|White|2}}=====
Similar to Black and White, the player cannot trade Pokémon until they have received the {{badge|Basic}} from the [[Aspertia Gym]] and have received the C-Gear from [[Bianca]]. There is no prerequisite to trade with Black and White.

====Generation VI====
====={{pkmn|X and Y}}=====
The player may trade Pokémon as soon as they have at least two Pokémon in their party, which is the minimum requirement for conducting a trade with another game.

====={{pkmn|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}=====
The player must wait until they have obtained the {{DL|PokéNav Plus|PlayNav}} from [[Wally]] after helping him catch a Pokémon. The player must have two Pokémon in their party to trade.

====Generation VII====
====={{pkmn|Sun and Moon}} and {{pkmn|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}}=====
The player must wait to trade Pokémon until they gain the Quick Link option in their [[menu]] upon their first visit to a [[Pokémon Center]], which will allow them to trade with someone nearby. In order to trade over the Internet (GTS, Wonder Trade, or Link Trade), the player must use [[Festival Plaza]], which is unlocked at the same time. The player may require at least two Pokémon in their party to trade with another game.

====={{pkmn|Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!}}=====
The game's multiplayer features, including trades, are unlocked by delivering [[Professor Oak]] his [[Parcel]] and receiving [[Razz Berry|Razz Berries]] from him. Trading with another game requires having at least two Pokémon in the party and/or the Pokémon Box, [[Partner Pokémon (Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!)|Partner Pokémon]] and [[walking Pokémon]] do not count and cannot be traded.

====Generation VIII====
====={{pkmn|Sword and Shield}}=====
The game's multiplayer features, including [[Y-Comm]], are unlocked once the player obtains a [[Dynamax Band]] from [[Professor Magnolia]] on [[Galar Route 2|Route 2]].

====={{pkmn|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}}=====
The player cannot trade Pokémon before getting a Pokédex from [[Professor Rowan]] at [[Sandgem Town]]. Also, the player has to have at least two Pokémon in the party and/or the PC in order to trade with another game.

====={{pkmn|Legends: Arceus}}=====
The game's online features, including trades, are unlocked after completing [[Task#Missions|Mission 4: "Getting to Work on Research Tasks"]].

===Pokémon that evolve when traded===
{{main|Trade Evolution}}
Several Pokémon evolve when traded. Most of the Pokémon that evolve when traded can only do so while holding a specific [[Evolution item]].

==In the side series games==
===Pokémon Stadium series===
[[File:Stadium Trade.png|thumb|left|220px|In Pokémon Stadium]]
[[File:Stadium 2 Trade.png|thumb|220px|In Pokémon Stadium 2]]
The games in the [[Pokémon Stadium series]] can connect to the [[core series]] games via the [[Transfer Pak]]. In the {{jpn|Pokémon Stadium|Japanese Pokémon Stadium}}, the trade feature is found at the [[main menu]]. In [[Pokémon Stadium]] and {{pkmn|Stadium 2}}, there is a trade machine in the {{OBP|Pokémon Lab|Stadium}}.

The Japanese Pokémon Stadium and Pokémon Stadium are compatible with the [[Generation I]] core series games. [[Pokémon Stadium 2]] is compatible with both Generation I and {{gen|II}} core series games.
{{-}}

===Pokémon Colosseum and XD: Gale of Darkness===
[[File:Pokémon Colo XD Trade.png|thumb|220px|A trade is happening with an eligible game.]]
In [[Pokémon Colosseum]] and {{pkmn|XD: Gale of Darkness}}, the player can trade Pokémon with the [[Generation III]] core series games after [[Evice]]{{sup/ss|Colo}} or [[Greevil]]{{sup/ss|XD}} has been defeated. It is not possible to directly trade between Colosseum and XD.

In the core series games, there is no data for [[Shadow Pokémon]] or [[Shadow move]]s, nor the ability to [[purification|purify]] these Pokémon. Only after a Shadow Pokémon is purified (changed back into normal) in its original game, it can be traded to the core series games.

Pokémon Colosseum and XD are unable to receive [[Pokémon Egg]]s, or any Pokémon holding a [[Mail]] item or an [[Enigma Berry]].

===My Pokémon Ranch===
In [[My Pokémon Ranch]], Hayley will only offer to trade with the player after they have completed a wanted request, and will only trade specific Pokémon and only if she has already brought one of them to the Ranch.

==In the spin-off games==
===Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series===
====Trading items====
In the [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series]], items can be traded through a link cable{{sup/md|R}}/wireless communication from the [[main menu]].

====Trade Evolutions====
{{main|Trade Evolution|section=Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series}}

In the Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series, the [[trade Evolution]]s (such as {{p|Pichu}} evolving into {{p|Pikachu}}) are triggered by:
* Using the {{MD evo item|Link Cable}} by itself.{{sup/md|rb}}{{sup/md|tds}}{{sup/md|gti}}
* Using the Link Cable with other available items that may be needed (such as the {{MD evo item|Metal Coat}}).{{sup/md|rb}}{{sup/md|tds}}
* No requirement.{{sup/md|smd}}
* {{MD evo item|Evolution Crystal|Evolution Crystals|g=RTDX}}.{{sup/md|dx}}

===Pokémon GO===
{{main|Trade (GO)}}
In {{g|GO}}, players are able to trade with registered {{OBP|Friends|GO}}. Trading Pokémon yields {{OBP|Candy|GO}} for the traded Pokémon, but also require a certain amount of {{OBP|Stardust|GO}} for each trade.

===Pokémon Trading Card Game Pocket===
[[File:Trade TCG Pocket.png|200px|thumb|Trade of {{TCG ID|Genetic Apex|Nidoking|241}} and {{TCG ID|Genetic Apex|Nidoqueen|240}} before it takes place]]
In [[Pokémon Trading Card Game Pocket]], the player can '''trade''' (Japanese: '''トレード''' ''trade'') with friends they have registered in the Social Hub. Trading was unlocked in version 1.1.0. A player can only have one active trade offer at a time; if the player is in a trade, they cannot send or receive trade offers.

Trading consumes 1 Trade Stamina (Japanese: トレードパワー ''Trade Power'') from both trade partners. The player can have a maximum of 5 Trade Stamina. Trade Stamina can be restored naturally, with 24 hours corresponding to 1 Trade Stamina restored. It can also be done with Trade Hourglasses (Japanese: トレード砂時計 ''Trade Sunadokei'', transl. ''Trade Hourglass'') or Poké gold. Trading also consumes Trade Tokens (Japanese: トレードメダル ''Trade Medal''), depending on the card's rarity:

* {{rar/TCGP|Diamond|1}} and {{rar/TCGP|Diamond|2}}: Free
* {{rar/TCGP|Diamond|3}}: 120 Trade Tokens
* {{rar/TCGP|Diamond|4}}: 500 Trade Tokens
* {{rar/TCGP|Star|1}}: 400 Trade Tokens
* Cards of other rarities cannot be traded. This also includes promo cards.

The traded cards must have the same rarity. If a card has [[flair]], it can only be traded for a card with flair. Cards from the most recent [[List of Pokémon Trading Card Game Pocket expansions|expansion]] cannot be traded until the next one is released.

To trade a card, the player chooses a tradable card from their collection and sends a trade offer for that card. A 48-hour timer starts. During that time, the card is removed from the My Cards section of the app, and the other partner may send a card to be traded. Once both parties accept the trade, the cards are sent over. If no trade agreement is reached once the timer runs out, the cards and items are returned.

The player can block receiving trade offers in the settings. Even if they are blocking, they can still send offers themselves. The game also keeps a history of the last 30 trades conducted by the player over the past 90 days.

====Obtaining Trade Tokens====
Trade Tokens can be obtained by converting non-promo cards of rarities other than {{rar/TCGP|Diamond|1}} and {{rar/TCGP|Diamond|2}}. This conversion is permanent and can only be done if the player has 3 or more of an eligible card. Each rarity converts as follows:

* {{rar/TCGP|Diamond|3}}: 25 Trade Tokens
* {{rar/TCGP|Diamond|4}}: 125 Trade Tokens
* {{rar/TCGP|Star|1}}: 100 Trade Tokens
* {{rar/TCGP|Star|2}} and {{rar/TCGP|Star|3}}: 300 Trade Tokens
* {{rar/TCGP|Shiny|1}}: 250 Trade Tokens
* {{rar/TCGP|Shiny|2}}: 650 Trade Tokens
* {{rar/TCGP|Crown}}: 1,500 Trade Tokens

==In animation==
[[File:Trade machine JN.png|thumb|250px|A [[trade machine]] in {{aniseries|JN}}]]
Despite it being one of the key aspects of the games, trading is exceptionally rare in the {{pkmn|animated series}}. Only a few trades have been shown taking place, and only seven of them thus far have been significant. Many of them take place in episodes featuring the [[Magikarp salesman]]. Rather than simply exchanging Pokémon, most trades are carried out by placing [[Poké Ball]]s into a specialized [[Trade machine|trading machine]], with a monitor that displays silhouettes of the two Pokémon as they pass each other.

The trade machine used in the animated series has seemingly been adapted into the game canon, with [[Professor Oak's Laboratory]] in both [[Pokémon Stadium]] and {{g|Stadium 2}} having this type of machine for trades. In the same way, when Game Link Cables were finally able to accept the data of two Pokémon being sent at once (rather than one at a time as in [[Generation]]s {{Gen|I}} and {{Gen|II}}), the Pokémon are shown passing each other in the link space.

==In the manga==
{{incomplete|section|Trades in other mangas}}
[[File:Silver Seadra.png|thumb|200px|A trade made using Pokédexes in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
===Pokémon Adventures===
Like the animated series, [[Pokémon Adventures]] does not contain many trades despite being a major part of the games. Most are not shown to need a machine to complete them. Simply hand-exchanging Pokémon can count as a trade, though it is also possible to trade by placing [[Pokédex]]es opposite each other.

ChocoLixo2:

{{incomplete|2=Info for the [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series]]}}
[[File:PP Screen.png|frame|right|A {{p|Froslass}} displaying its move set; three of its moves have been partially depleted in battle, while one move still retains all of its PP.]]
'''PP''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|PP|ピーピー}}'''), short for '''Power Point''' (Japanese: '''パワーポイント''' ''Power Point''), is the energy that a {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} requires in order to perform a [[move]].

==In the core series games==
Power Points have existed in every [[generation]]. It costs 1 PP to use a move (barring the influence of the {{a|Pressure}} [[Ability]]), so the PP a move has remaining is essentially equivalent to the number of times that move can be used. Each move is assigned a base Power Point value that is either 1 or a positive multiple of 5, up to 40. In general, weaker moves learned at lower levels will have higher PP, while more powerful moves or moves learned at higher levels will have lower PP. PP can be fully restored by healing one's Pokémon at a [[Pokémon Center]], and effectively act as a method to encourage players to heal often even if they take little or no [[damage]].

When a move is learned, including through methods such as using [[TM]]s or [[HM]]s, its PP will automatically be set to the base PP value, allowing it to be used immediately. However, in [[Generation V]] only, when a move is replaced with a TM or HM move, the new move's remaining PP will be set to the remaining PP of the replaced move (unless the new move's base PP is lower). This was to prevent TMs and HMs from being a method to repeatedly replenish PP at no cost, as TMs were first made reusable in that generation. In [[Generation VI]], this behavior was reverted, and using a TM or HM to overwrite a move will set the newly learned move to its usual base PP though TMs and HMs are still reusable.

When the PP of a move has been depleted, the Pokémon will no longer be able to use that move until PP is restored. When all of a Pokémon's moves' PP have been depleted, ordering it to attack will result in the Pokémon using {{m|Struggle}}, a move that deals great damage to itself and minimal damage to the opponent.

All moves that target a Pokémon with {{a|Pressure}} use an additional PP, causing them to deplete their PP faster. A move that has only 1 PP remaining will execute as normal in these situations, i.e. the PP count will not become negative. Moves that do not target the Pokémon with Pressure, such as [[status move]]s which target the user, deplete as normal. Pressure will also not activate if the Pokémon with Pressure targets itself.

A move that can be used outside of battle, such as {{m|Dig}} or one of the many [[HM]] moves, will be able to be used outside of battle regardless of its PP on the field, and will not subtract PP for its overworld uses.

Upon using {{m|Transform}}, all copied moves will have 5 PP (unless the maximum PP is less than 5, in which case the PP will be that lower maximum).

Some moves, especially the [[Shadow move]]s of {{g|Colosseum}} and {{XD}}, have no PP value, giving them effectively infinite PP.

Some opponents have unlimited PP for all their moves:
* In [[Generation I]], all AI trainers and wild Pokémon
* In [[Generation VIII]], the bosses of all [[Max Raid Battle]]s
* In [[Generation IX]], the bosses of all [[Tera Raid Battle]]s, as well as Team Star's [[Starmobile]]s, and the battle against {{form|Terapagos|Stellar Form}} {{p|Terapagos}} in the Area Zero Underdepths

===Increasing PP===
All moves, except those which have a base PP of 1, can have their usability increased using a [[PP Up]] or [[PP Max]]. PP Ups boost the move's PP by 20% of the original value per PP Up, and can be used up to three times on the same move. PP Maxes, introduced in Generation III, cause a move's PP to increase to the maximum value equivalent to three PP Ups, 60% more than the base value (so the PP Max will be worth less than its full value if it's used on a move that already had one or two PP Ups).

===Restoration===
PP can be restored using several items. An [[Ether]] restores 10 PP for one move, a [[Max Ether]] fully restores PP for one move, an [[Elixir]] restores 10 PP for all of a Pokémon's moves, and a [[Max Elixir]] fully restores PP for all of a Pokémon's moves. Additionally, the [[Leppa Berry]] restores 10 PP for one move and can be used as a held item after the PP of any move has run out. In [[Generation II]], [[Sacred Ash]] fully restores the PP of all Pokémon in the party, while the Leppa Berry's predecessor, [[MysteryBerry]], restores only 5 PP.

Healing at a [[Pokémon Center]] (or any similar party-healing service) fully restores the PP of all party Pokémon's moves; from [[Generation II]] through {{gen|VII}}, any Pokémon deposited in the PC has the PP of all of its moves fully restored.

If a Pokémon uses {{m|Lunar Dance}}, the next Pokémon sent in to replace it will have its PP fully restored.

===Base value alteration===
In [[Generation]]s {{gen|I}} and {{gen|II}}, the maximum PP of a move that began at 40 PP would be 61, likely due to a lack of data space; this is fixed from [[Generation III]] onward, increasing the maximum to its 'proper' value of 64.

Between generations, the base PP of several moves, such as {{m|Recover}} and {{m|Giga Drain}}, was altered. If PP Ups had been used on one of these moves in a previous, this is carried over to later Generation, with the PP Ups now boosting based on the new value, rather than the old. For example, a Pokémon with Giga Drain with 2 PP Ups used on it in Generation III, having 7 PP for that move, would have 14 PP when transferred to Generation IV.

===Wild Pokémon===
In [[Generation I]], since all AI opponents do not use up any PP, [[wild Pokémon]] are always caught with full PP for all of their moves.

From [[Generation II]] onwards, wild Pokémon have their PP deducted normally, according to the moves used in battle; the deducted PP value remains even after the wild Pokémon is caught. However, in [[Generation II]], if a wild Pokémon successfully uses {{m|Transform}} and is caught by the player, that Pokémon will have Transform with full PP (10 out of 10).

===Glitches===
{{main|List of battle glitches in Generation I|section=Struggle bypassing}}
In Generation I, there is a glitch that allows a Pokémon to use a move even if it has 0 PP. If a move is used while it has 0 PP in these games, the Pokémon's PP underflows to 63.

===List of moves and Abilities affecting PP===
PP can be affected by the following moves and Abilities.

Unlike other stats, PP has not been directly referenced in the {{pkmn|animated series}}.

===''Pokémon the Series''===
Despite PP never being mentioned in {{aniseries|PTS}}, many Pokémon have been seen to have trouble using a specific move repeatedly, such as [[Ash's Pikachu]]'s increasing weakness using {{m|Thunderbolt}} on {{OBP|Mewtwo|M01}}'s [[Poké Ball]]s as they chased him down in ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]''.

Additionally, Pokémon get visibly exhausted over the course of a battle, even if they don't take any hits. In the {{aniseries|DP}} episode ''[[DP134|Promoting Healthy Tangrowth!]]'', {{an|Brock}} explicitly states that there is a limit to how many times [[Ash's Grotle]] would be able to use {{m|Synthesis}}.

==In the manga==
[[File:Organism No 2 Pressure.png|thumb|220px|[[Pika]] being incapable of using Thunder due to Pressure]]
===Pokémon Adventures===
While PP is almost never mentioned by name in [[Pokémon Adventures]], the effect of losing all PP of a move has been displayed a number of times.

===={{MangaArc|Gold, Silver & Crystal}}====
In ''[[PS157|Magnificent Magnemite]]'', [[Morty]] was able to stop [[Lt. Surge]]'s {{p|Electabuzz}} from using {{m|Thunder}} by having his {{p|Gastly}} use {{m|Spite}} on him. [[Erika]] and [[Brock]] acknowledged the fact that Thunder is a powerful move that takes a lot out of the Pokémon using it, thus limiting the number of times it can be used within a certain period of time.

===={{MangaArc|Ruby & Sapphire}}====
In ''[[PS250|The Beginning of the End with Kyogre & Groudon XII]]'', [[Flannery]] managed to prevent [[Shelly]]'s {{p|Ludicolo}} from using {{m|Nature Power}} by having her {{p|Vulpix}} use {{m|Grudge}} before it was defeated.

===={{MangaArc|FireRed & LeafGreen}}====
In ''[[PS279|Don't Doubt Deoxys]]'', {{adv|Red}}'s {{p|Pikachu}}, [[Pika]], became unable to use Thunder while battling a {{p|Deoxys}} known as {{DL|Deoxys (Adventures)|Organism No. 2}}, due to the {{pkmn|category|DNA Pokémon}}'s {{a|Pressure}} [[Ability]].

===={{MangaArc|Emerald}}====
In ''[[PS312|Chipping Away at Regirock]]'', a {{pkmn2|wild}} {{p|Misdreavus}} rendered {{adv|Emerald}}'s borrowed {{p|Shedinja}} unable to use {{m|Shadow Ball}} during his [[Battle Pyramid]] challenge by reducing its PP to zero with Grudge. Emerald later used an [[Ether]] on Shedinja to restore it.

===Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Adventure!===
In ''[[DPA04|Win with Teamwork!!]]'', [[Hareta]] was able to make [[Gardenia]]'s {{p|Roserade}} run out of power for {{m|Magical Leaf}} faster than usual thanks to his {{p|Misdreavus}}'s {{m|Spite}}.

==Trivia==
* As shown in several [[Capsule Monsters]] sketches, Pokémon were originally planned to have a stat called TP, presumably short for {{wp|Magic point|Technique Points}}, with each move requiring a certain amount of TP to use.

Pokémon battle

ChocoLixo2:

{{incomplete|needs=Missing information about player-versus-player battles and the methods by which players can enter one}}
[[File:Snorlax Stands Tall HGSS Project Snorlax.jpg|thumb|250px|A battle between {{ga|Red}} and {{ga|Ethan}} atop [[Mt. Silver]]]]
A '''Pokémon battle''' (Japanese: '''ポケモンバトル''' ''Pokémon battle''), often known in the [[Generation I]] games as a '''Pokémon fight''' (Japanese: '''ポケモンしょうぶ''' ''Pokémon fight''), is a form of competition between {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. In these battles, one or more of the Pokémon is typically [[Pokémon training|owned and commanded]] by a [[human]], its [[Pokémon Trainer]].

When a Pokémon [[fainting|faints]] in battle, its Trainer may send out another to take its place, drawn from their [[party]].

Pokémon battles appear in most forms of Pokémon media, being the central gameplay aspect of the [[core series]] games, as well as being a constant focus of [[Pokémon animation]]. Originally, a Pokémon battle would always be a one-on-one fight between two Pokémon; however, variations on this model have been seen later on in the series, with Pokémon battles featuring multiple Pokémon on each side later being implemented in the games as well.

==In the core series games==
[[File:SwSh Prerelease wild Pikachu.png|thumb|250px|A battle between a {{p|Minccino}} and a {{pkmn2|wild}} {{p|Pikachu}} in {{pkmn|Sword and Shield}}]]
In the games, the main battle screen will have four options: Fight (or Battle), Bag, Pokémon, and Run. Depending on which of these is selected, a different menu will appear, or the battle may end. These same four options will appear no matter what kind of battle the player is in, be it with a wild Pokémon, an NPC, or another player via link battle. Battles are conducted in a turn-based manner. The Pokémon to take action first is determined by the [[priority]] of their action, then the {{status|Speed}} of the Pokémon.

In the core series games, except {{LGPE}}, normally when the player encounters a [[wild Pokémon]] they battle that Pokémon. (In Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!, as well as in the [[Safari Zone]] and [[Pal Park]] in other core series games, the player has the opportunity to catch the wild Pokémon but cannot battle it.)

A battle between the player character and another Trainer may begin when the player interacts with that Trainer. Prior to [[Generation IX]], NPCs can also initiate battles with the player by making eye contact with them.

When a Pokémon [[Fainting|faints]] in battle, it may cause its opponent to gain [[experience]] or [[effort values]]. After all of either side's Pokémon have been defeated, the battle has been won, and the loser must pay out some amount of money to the winner, determined based on the level of the Pokémon and {{DL|Pokémon Trainer|Trainer class|type of Trainer}} defeated. In the core series games, if the player's Pokémon have all been defeated, the player will [[black out]] (in [[Generation I]] and since [[Generation IV]]) or white out (in [[Generation II]] and [[Generation III]]), and be teleported back to the most recent [[Pokémon Center]] that was visited, or to their home if a Pokémon Center has not yet been visited.

Some battles, most notably link battles or battles in certain [[Battle facility|battle facilities]], will not affect the participating Pokémon's experience, EVs, or [[friendship]]. The battle's outcome will not cause money to be awarded to or deducted from participating trainers. Pokémon seen during these battles will not be registered in the [[Pokédex]]. Usually, [[bag]] [[item]]s are not allowed in these battles, and all Pokémon and [[held item]]s are restored after each battle.

A qualifier such as "enemy", "foe", "the foe's", "the opposing", or "the wild" precedes the name of the opposing Pokémon in most battle messages, depending on the game. This includes when they use a [[move]], [[Ability]], when a [[stat]] changes, or when they [[fainting|faint]].

* In Generations I and II, all opposing Pokémon (no matter if they are {{pkmn2|wild}} or owned by a {{pkmn|Trainer}}) are preceded by the word "enemy" (Japanese: てきの ''enemy's'') in most battle messages. For instance: "Enemy {{p|Rattata}} fainted!" or "Enemy Rattata used {{m|Tackle}}!"
** In some [[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire beta|pre-release media from Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire]], the Japanese qualifier meaning "enemy" (てきの) is still used in battles. This suggests that other qualifiers found in the finished games (as seen below) were introduced later in the games' development.
* In Generation III, wild Pokémon are preceded by the word "wild"; from Generation IV onwards, "the wild" (Japanese: {{tt|野生|やせい}}の ''wild''). For instance: "Wild Rattata used Tackle!" (Generation III) or "The wild Rattata used Tackle!" (Generation IV onwards).
* From Generation III onwards, a Pokémon owned by an opposing Trainer is preceded by one of these qualifiers (Japanese: {{tt|相手|あいて}}の ''opponent's''):
** Generation III: "foe". For instance: "Foe Rattata used Tackle!"
** Generations IV and V: "the foe's". For instance: "The foe's Rattata used Tackle!"
** Generation VI onwards: "the opposing". For instance: "The opposing Rattata used Tackle!"

===Battle commands===

====Fight====
[[File:Pokémon battle Moves SM.png|thumb|200px|The moves of a Pokémon displayed in the Fight menu]]
Selecting "Fight" or "Battle" will bring up another menu which allows the player to choose which of their Pokémon's current [[move]]s is to be used during the turn. Depending on its remaining [[PP]], a move may or may not be able to be selected; at least 1 PP is required to select the move. If all moves have 0 PP or are not usable for another reason, the Pokémon will use {{m|Struggle}}.

Once both sides have selected the moves they will use, the Pokémon currently in battle will make each of their moves in turn, with the move with the highest [[priority]] going first, and the one with the lowest priority going last. If multiple Pokémon use moves of the same priority, then they will move in order of decreasing {{stat|Speed}}, unless {{m|Trick Room}} is in effect, in which case the slowest Pokémon will go first. A Pokémon may be unable to move if it is immobilized by a status condition such as {{status|paralysis}} or another status effect such as {{status|flinch}}ing, it is unable to use its move due to an effect such as {{m|Taunt}} or {{m|Disable}}, or it [[obedience|disobeys]] its Trainer.

As each Pokémon makes its move, a Pokémon may [[fainting|faint]] if its [[HP]] reaches 0. If this occurs, another Pokémon must be switched in to replace it in battle for the battle to continue. This switch occurs before the turn ends in Generations {{Gen|I}}, {{Gen|II}}, and {{Gen|III}}, but after the end of the turn in [[Generation IV]] and on, resulting in a slightly different strategy for Double Battles between Generation III and Generation IV.

Until Generation IV, it has also been possible to switch the order of a Pokémon's moves during battle by using the <sc>select</sc> button twice. In Generation I, this is the only way to switch move orders.

====Bag====
[[File:Pokémon battle items SM.png|thumb|200px|right|Bag menu]]
{{main|Bag}}
If "Bag" is selected, it will bring up the contents of the player's Bag on screen. In Generation I, this command is instead "Item", and in Generation II, it is "Pack". In Generations {{gen|I}}, {{gen|II}}, and {{gen|III}}, the Bag menu that is brought up is the same as that in the overworld, with all of a player's items able to be selected (though many cannot be used). Since [[Generation IV]], the games instead feature a separate menu for in-battle use that categorizes the items that the player has depending on their use. If an item is selected to be used, this will take place before any Pokémon makes its move, and the player's Pokémon will not be able to make a move. The Bag selection is sometimes disabled, most notably in link battles and during [[Battle Frontier]] competitions.

==== Pokémon ====
[[File:Pokémon battle Pokémon.png|thumb|200px|Pokémon menu]]
{{main|Party}}
Selecting "Pokémon" ({{PK}}{{MN}} prior to Generation III) will bring up a menu of the player's current [[party]] Pokémon. This allows the player to check their [[summary]], or switch them into battle, sending the player's active Pokémon back into its Poké Ball. As with the Bag, the Pokémon menu screen is exactly the same as that in the overworld in Generations I, II, and III, with differences in usable commands, while different in Generation IV and on, featuring only battle-relevant data.

====Run====
{{main|Escape}}
If "Run" is selected, the player will attempt to call back their active Pokémon and escape from the battle. Battles against NPC Trainers cannot be run from except in a [[Battle Frontier]] facility, while battles against other players can be run from at any time, resulting in a loss (if only one player runs) or a draw (if both players run). In {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}, the player can run from battles against NPC Trainers, but it results in a loss against that Trainer and causes the player to [[black out]] immediately. This option, like Fight, also depends on the {{stat|Speed}} of the Pokémon in battle, with a calculation made based on the two resulting in either the player escaping a wild battle (if the player's Pokémon's Speed is high enough) or being stuck in battle and losing a turn. Trapping moves can prevent escape attempts from being made, as can the player's own Pokémon if it has previously used {{m|Ingrain}}.

===Battle variants===
:''For different rules used in competitive battles, see [[rule variants]].''
There are several variants or formats of a standard single battle, in which one Pokémon is sent out against an opponent's Pokémon. These differences are mostly in the number of {{pkmn|Trainer}}s and {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} involved in the battle at one time, but battles can also differ due to a set of specific rules or banned Pokémon.

====Full Battle====
[[File:Alola League Scoreboard.png|thumb|220px|Scoreboard for a Full Battle]]
{{main|Full Battle}}
A Full Battle, also known as a six-on-six battle, is a battle variant in which both {{pkmn|Trainer}}s use a full [[party]] of six Pokémon. The first Trainer to completely [[Fainting|knock out]] all of the opposing Trainer's Pokémon wins.

These battles are very rare in the games. Generally only the {{player}}'s [[rival]] and the [[region]]al {{pkmn|Champion}} will have a full team during the main storyline, while [[Gym Leader]]s and [[Elite Four]] members may also have a full team in [[rematch]]es. In the animated series, Full Battles are conducted in the last few rounds of [[Pokémon League Conference]]s, but Trainers can challenge one another to a Full Battle any time, although this is rare.

====Double Battle====
[[File:Double Battle VI.png|thumb|220px|A Double Battle]]
{{main|Double Battle}}
A Double Battle is initiated when two Pokémon, rather than one, are sent out per side. Introduced in the games in [[Generation III]], Double Battles can alter a player's strategy by a lot, now having to evade twice the moves and make twice the decisions per turn.

Several moves change when used in Double Battles. While most will target one of the two Pokémon, selectable after the move itself is chosen, some target both opponent Pokémon, both opponents and the partner, the user and its partner, or all Pokémon in the battle. Abilities may have an effect in Double Battles that is very nearly useless in Single Battles, such as {{a|Plus}}, which requires another Pokémon in play to activate.

Some {{cat|Double Battle Trainer classes|specific Trainer classes}}, such as {{tc|Sis & Bro|Sis and Bro}} and {{tc|Teammates|Sr. and Jr.}}, will automatically engage the player in Double Battles. Additionally, from {{game|Emerald}} to [[Generation V]], two independent Trainers who see the player at the same time will also trigger a Double Battle. All battles in {{g|Colosseum}} are conducted as Double Battles, as are most in {{Pokémon XD}} (with the exception of three Trainer battles and all wild battles).

Double Battles were introduced in the animated series ''very'' early, first appearing in [[EP003|the third episode]] where {{Ash}} declared them to be breaking Pokémon League rules. Despite this, {{TRT}} has battled Ash in nearly every episode since in a Double Battle, sending out two Pokémon at once. Later, Ash himself competed in a Double Battle for the {{badge|Jade Star}} in ''[[EP108|Pokémon Double Trouble]]''. After the release of Ruby and Sapphire, Double Battles were seen in the animated series more often. The first took place in ''[[AG014|All in a Day's Wurmple]]''. [[Forrester Franklin]] introduced the concept to Ash and they had a battle that Ash won. As in the games, Ash's Gym Battle against [[Tate and Liza]] was a Double Battle. The Double Battle style has been used in [[Pokémon Contest]]s; specifically in [[Grand Festival]] tournaments and competitions following the [[Double Performance]] format.

====Multi Battle====
[[File:Multi Battle VII.png|thumb|220px|Fighting {{ga|Red}} and {{ga|Blue}} in a Multi Battle in [[Pokémon Sun and Moon]]]]
{{main|Multi Battle}}
A Multi Battle, referred to as a Tag Battle in the animated series, is a type of Double Battle in which each of the four Pokémon is controlled by a separate [[Pokémon Trainer]]. Aside from the fact that Pokémon on the same side are controlled by different Trainers, Multi Battles act the same as normal Double Battles.

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

In [[Generation III]], up to four players can battle with each other in a Multi Battle via [[Game Link Cable]] by choosing the 'Multi Battle' mode in the Pokémon Cable Club Colosseum. Players decide which side to battle. This was the only way to have a Multi Battle in {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}} and {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}. In [[Generation IV]], the Pokémon Cable Club Colosseum was renamed to the Pokémon Communication Club Colosseum, but Multi Battles can still be conducted by selecting 'Multi Battle'.

====Contest Battle====
[[File:Contest battle.png|thumb|220px|A Contest Battle]]
{{main|Contest Battle}}
A Contest Battle is an {{pkmn|animated series}}-exclusive battle variant in which two [[Pokémon Coordinator]]s face off while attempting to lower each other's scores. These battles have a five-minute time limit, during which each participant must show off their Pokémon in a visually impressive manner. Unlike a regular battle, Coordinators and their Pokémon are judged on the style of their moves and the way they are able to dodge their opponent's attacks.

Contest Battles are usually [[Contest Judge|judged]] by [[Raoul Contesta|Mr. Contesta]], [[Mr. Sukizo]], and [[Nurse Joy]]. They are the ones responsible for subtracting points from a Coordinator's score. Coordinators will generally lose points when their Pokémon are hit by an attack, when their Pokémon's attack fails, when the opponent's Pokémon performs a particularly [[appeal]]ing [[move]] or [[Contest combination|combo]], or when the opponent's Pokémon uses their Pokémon's attack to its own advantage. Contest Battles may also end when the judges rule {{DL|Fainting|Battle Off}} for a Pokémon. In this case, the Coordinator with the remaining Pokémon is declared the winner.

====Triple Battle====
[[File:Triple Battle VI.png|thumb|220px|A Triple Battle]]
{{main|Triple Battle}}
Triple Battles debuted in [[Pokémon Battrio]], but were only introduced to the [[core series]] in {{game|Black and White|s}}. Unlike Double Battles, the positioning of the Pokémon in-battle will be important as the Pokémon on the left will be unable to target the Pokémon on the right and vice-versa, while the Pokémon in the middle is free to attack any other Pokémon in the field, making it the prime attacking position. Also, moves like {{m|Hurricane}} and {{m|Acrobatics}} can damage any of the three Pokémon, or all of them.

The Pokémon on the left and right have the option to shift position with the Pokémon currently in the middle. Shifting has no [[priority]] and none of the effects of [[Recall|switching]] apply to shifting. A Pokémon can move even if it is the last Pokémon on its [[Party|team]]. When there are only two Pokémon left on the field and they are non-adjacent to each other, then both Pokémon will automatically be shifted to the center of the field.

====Rotation Battle====
[[File:Rotation Battle.png|thumb|220px|A Rotation Battle]]
{{main|Rotation Battle}}
Rotation Battles were introduced as a core series element in {{game|Black and White|s}}. A Rotation Battle consists of three Pokémon (similar to a Triple Battle); however, only one Pokémon can attack at a time. Rotating Pokémon is a free action, meaning both players may switch and attack in the same turn.

Rotating can be done during both the player's and the opponent's turns and has a priority of +6. Rotating is different to switching in that it doesn't use up a turn, reset [[status condition]]s like {{status|confusion}} and {{status|bad poison}}, or reset Ability counters like {{a|Slow Start}}. Only the active Pokémon plays any part in the battle. Moves and Abilities that affect more than one Pokémon will only affect the opponent's active Pokémon, and Abilities like {{a|Flower Gift}} will only activate if the user is active. Also status damage is not received while a Pokémon is inactive.

====Launcher Battle====
{{main|Wonder Launcher}}
A Launcher Battle is a type of multiplayer battle in the [[core series]] [[Generation V]] {{pkmn|games}} in which both {{player}}s have the Wonder Launcher enabled, allowing them to purchase the use of certain [[item]]s using points that are accumulated each turn.

====Team Battle====
[[File:Team Battle anime.png|thumb|220px|A Team Battle with seven Trainers on a team]]
Team Battles (Japanese: チームバトル ''Team Battle'') are an animated series-exclusive battle variant introduced in ''[[Pokémon the Series: XY]]''. A Team Battle consists of three, five, or seven [[Pokémon Trainer]]s battling as a team using various types of formations.

Team Battles usually occur when a large number of Trainers get together, and are often accompanied with a strategy meeting which involve comparing personalities and skills of Pokémon while deciding on battle formations and battle-combo moves. In ''[[XY042|Battling Into the Hall of Fame!]]'', {{Ash}}, {{an|Serena}}, and {{an|Clemont}} were victorious against {{an|Shauna}}, {{an|Tierno}}, and {{an|Trevor}} in a Team Battle with {{AP|Pikachu}}, {{TP|Serena|Fennekin}}, and {{TP|Clemont|Chespin}} facing {{TP|Shauna|Bulbasaur}}, {{TP|Tierno|Squirtle}}, and {{TP|Trevor|Charmander}}.

====Horde Encounter====
[[File:XY Prerelease Axew horde.png|220px|thumb|A horde of Axew]]
{{main|Horde Encounter}}
A Horde Encounter is a kind of battle introduced in [[Generation VI]] in which a single player's Pokémon will battle against five [[Wild Pokémon]] that are usually of the same species, but there may be a single Pokémon of a similar or counterpart species, such as {{p|Plusle}} and {{p|Minun}}. In this battle, the Pokémon used by the player will act as if it was in the center of a [[Triple Battle]], but with all other Pokémon being considered enemies rather than some being allies. Also, there is no limit of range, meaning that any Pokémon may hit another that is non-adjacent of it.

The Pokémon found in horde battles are normally at half of the level of this same Pokémon when find alone in the area, or are a lower [[evolution]]ary stage of the most common Pokémon. Horde Encounters can be forced by [[Honey]] and {{m|Sweet Scent}} if the weather is clear.

====Sky Battle====
[[File:XY Prerelease Sky Battle.png|220px|thumb|A Sky Battle]]
{{main|Sky Battle}}
A Sky Battle is a kind of battle introduced in [[Generation VI]], which consist of two Pokémon battling each other in the air instead of on land or sea. However, because of this, only certain {{t|Flying}} types and certain Pokémon with the Ability {{a|Levitate}} are eligible for Sky Battles.

At certain points in the game, the player can encounter {{tc|Sky Trainer}}s on top of cliffs or other distant areas who will challenge them to a Sky Battle. All Sky Battles are optional, since the player may not have any eligible Pokémon to use. If all eligible Pokémon in the battle faint, the player will black out, but will resume the game standing where they were before battle. In this event, [[List of glitches in Generation VI#Sky Trainer interaction glitch|due to a current glitch]], the Sky Trainer is unable to be re-challenged or even spoken to, even if the player's eligible Pokémon are restored, until the player exits and reenters the area.

====Inverse Battle====
{{main|Inverse Battle}}
An Inverse Battle is a kind of battle introduced in [[Generation VI]]. During an Inverse Battle, type matchups are reversed. This type of battle is only conducted with [[Inver]], who can be battled once per day at [[Kalos Route 18]] in [[Pokémon X and Y]] and [[Mauville City]] in [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire]]. A {{DL|Secret Base|Generation VI|Super-Secret Base}} can also hold Inverse Battles.

====Battle Royal====
[[File:SM Prerelease Battle Royal.png|220px|thumb|A Battle Royal]]
{{main|Battle Royal}}
A Battle Royal is a kind of battle introduced in [[Generation VII]] in which four Trainers face one another simultaneously. Each Trainer brings up to three Pokémon into the ring, using one Pokémon at a time. At the end of a turn, if a Trainer has no Pokémon left, the Battle Royal ends. All participants are scored based on the number of Pokémon they [[Fainting|knocked out]], and the number of Pokémon they have remaining.

====SOS Battle====
[[File:SM Prerelease SOS Battle.png|220px|thumb|An SOS Battle with a Totem Pokémon and its ally.]]
{{main|SOS Battle}}
An SOS Battle is a kind of battle introduced in [[Generation VII]] wherein [[wild Pokémon]] calls for help from allies, turning a one-on-one wild battle to a two-on-one battle. [[Totem Pokémon]] always calls for help and their calls are always answered. Non-Totem Pokémon can also call for help; however, its call is not always answered.
Most Pokémon can summon allies of the same [[Pokémon (species)|species]], but some can summon other Pokémon in their [[List of Pokémon by evolutionary line|evolutionary line]], and some can summon other unrelated Pokémon. For some species, the Pokémon that a wild Pokémon can call varies with location.

====Max Raid Battle====
[[File:SwSh Prerelease Max Raid Battle.png|220px|thumb|A Max Raid Battle against a Dynamaxed {{p|Gyarados}}]]
{{main|Max Raid Battle}}
A '''Max Raid Battle''' (Japanese: '''マックスレイドバトル''' ''Max Raid Battle'') is a Pokémon battle in which four Trainers battle against a {{pkmn2|wild}} [[Dynamax]]/[[Gigantamax]] Pokémon, which remains Dynamaxed or Gigantamaxed for the whole battle.
The player can start a Max Raid Battle by interacting with an active [[Pokémon Den]], indicated by a beam of light shooting up from it. If a den is inactive, the player can throw a [[Wishing Piece]] into it to summon a Dynamax Pokémon.

====Tera Raid Battle====
[[File:Scarlet Violet Tera Raid Battle screenshot.png|220px|thumb|A Tera Raid Battle against a Terastallized {{p|Gardevoir}}]]
{{main|Tera Raid Battle}}
A '''Tera Raid Battle''' (Japanese: '''テラレイドバトル''' ''Tera Raid Battle'') is a Pokémon battle in which four Trainers battle against a {{pkmn2|wild}} [[Terastal_phenomenon|Tera]] Pokémon, which remains Terastallized until it is defeated.
The player can start a Tera Raid Battle by interacting with an active Tera Raid crystal, indicated by a beam of light shooting up from it. The color of the crystal indicates the Tera Type of the Pokémon inside.

==In the side series games==
===Pokémon Stadium series===
{{Sectionstub}}
In the [[Pokémon Stadium series]], there are Pokémon battles available.

===Pokémon Colosseum and XD: Gale of Darkness===
In {{g|Colosseum}} and {{g|XD: Gale of Darkness}}, the "Run" option is replaced by a "Call" option, which allows the player to return a [[Shadow Pokémon]] from [[Hyper Mode]] and [[Reverse Mode]] or wake it up from {{status|sleep}}. It can also be used to simply pass a turn in Pokémon Colosseum. In Pokémon XD, if the Pokémon is neither in Reverse Mode nor asleep, it will raise its {{stat|accuracy}} by one stage.

==In the spin-off games==
===Pokeḿon GO===
{{main|Gym (GO)}}
{{main|Raid Battle (GO)}}
{{main|Trainer Battle (GO)}}

In [[Pokémon GO]], there are three different kinds of battles that can be loosely divided into two categories:
====Gyms====
At {{GO|Gym}}s, players on a {{GO|team}} may battle against the Pokémon that players on an opposing team left to defend the Gym. These are 6v6 battles where the [[party]] of up to 20 attacking players go up against up to six Pokémon to wrest control of the Gym from the opposing team. While each of the defenders was left by another Trainer, they are controlled by the computer instead. During these battles, each Pokémon uses {{GO|move}}s to damage the opponent. Fast Attacks are quick attacks performed only by tapping the screen that build up {{GO|energy}}, while Charged Attacks have a dedicated button, require energy to be spent, take a longer time to perform, and can do much more damage. However, player controlled Pokémon can dodge Charged Attacks by swiping left or right at the correct time, preventing much of the received damage. The player is also allowed to switch out their Pokémon for another one in their party at any time. The attacks of the defending Pokémon damage all players at once. [[Fainting|Knocking Out]] the Gym's defenders reduces their motivation, lowering their stats for the next battle. Once a defender runs out of motivation, it leaves the Gym and returns to its Trainer. Once all defenders have left the Gym in this manner, a player may place one of their own Pokémon at the Gym, putting the Gym under their team's control and restarting the cycle.

Gyms also offer {{GO|Raid Battle}}s, where up to 20 players, each with a party of six Pokémon, fight against a single Raid Boss Pokémon. Raid Bosses are giant, with increased stats compared to normal Pokémon. Gameplay flow is very similar to battles against teams. After completing a Raid Battle, players may catch the shrunken down, normal stat-having version of the Pokémon that was the Raid Boss. This can only be done with [[Premier Ball]]s rewarded from the Raid Battle or with a [[Master Ball]] in the player's bag. Participating in a Raid Battle requires a [[Raid Pass]].

====Trainer Battle====
In {{GO|Trainer Battle}}s, players can challenge other players or NPCs like the team leaders and [[Team GO Rocket]] members to a 3-on-3 battle. Combatants still use Fast and Charged Attacks. However, Charged Attacks have different mechanics compared to battles that occur at Gyms. When performed, a five-second minigame is initiated for the user where icons of the move's [[type]] appear on the screen. Swiping over these icons increases the score of the attack, which increases the damage it will deal. Each type has a different arrangement of icons in their minigame, with differing associated visuals. During the minigame, the Trainer of the target of the attack has the choice of spending one of their two [[Protect Shield]]s to block the attack, receiving no damage. (This replaces dodging from battles at Gyms.) While each participant can switch their Pokémon out, a timer is started after switching during which a second swich cannot be performed.

===Pokémon UNITE===
{{main|Unite Battle}}

In [[Pokémon UNITE]], there are some different battle modes:

* Standard Battle is the default game mode and has three types of matches within its umbrella: Random Match, CPU Match, and Friendly Match. They are all 10 minute 5-on-5 matches that take place in either Remoat Stadium or Theia Sky Ruins. Players may play solo or form in groups of any size.
* Quick battles are unlocked at level 4. They are shorter than Standard Battles at 5 minutes with 4 vs 4 or 3 vs 3 matches.
* Boss Rush is a limited-time event mode that is treated as a type of Quick Battle. They are the same time length as regular Quick Battles at 5 minutes, however instead of facing other players, 5 players are pitted against 3 boss Pokémon from various other maps in the game.
* Panic Parade is a limited-time event mode that is treated as a type of Quick Battle. There is no time limit at all due to the fact that instead of facing other players, 5 players are tasked with defending Tinkaton from various waves of wild Pokémon.

===Pokémon Conquest===

===Pokkén Tournament===
{{main|Pokkén Tournament|section=Battles}}

Pokkén Tournament is a {{wp|fighting game}} that takes elements from both traditional 2D and 3D fighters. Battles have two different phases which will often change during battle. Battles begin in '''Field Phase''' (Japanese: '''フィールドフェイズ'''), where players can move about freely in a circular 3D environment in a 3D battlefield. If either player lands a certain type of move, a '''Phase Change''' (Japanese: '''フェイズチェンジ''') occurs, putting the battle into '''Duel Phase''' (Japanese: '''デュエルフェイズ'''), placing players into a 2D battlefield. Controls also change in this form of play.

===e-Reader games===
In [[Magby and Magmar]], the characters {{p|Magby}} and {{p|Magmar}} are seen battling each other with {{m|Flamethrower}} attacks.

===Pokeḿon Puzzle series===
In [[Pokémon Puzzle League]] and [[Pokemon Puzzle Challenge]], the block puzzle games are treated as Pokémon battles, as seen in the game dialogue. The player is able to challenge several Pokémon Trainers during the course of the games, including [[Gym Leader]]s in order to collect [[badge]]s.

This is the number of Pokémon available per Trainer:

* In Puzzle League, each Trainer (including the player Ash and all [[non-player character|NPC]] Trainers) has a predefined team of three Pokémon. In the 1P Mode, Ash is the single player character who battles a number of Trainers from the [[Pokémon animated series]]. In the 2P Mode, the two players can choose to play as any of the available animated series characters.
* In Puzzle Challenge, the player {{ga|Ethan}} is able to collect a number of Pokémon by hatching Eggs from the Marathon mode beating Trainers in the Challenge mode. However, each NPC Trainer in the Challenge mode has a single Pokémon each.

In each puzzle match, two Trainers use one Pokémon against each other:

* In Puzzle League, the chosen Pokémon of each Trainer is simply seen as part of the puzzle background and is not animated, but the animated series cries of each Pokémon are heard during the battles.
* In Puzzle Challenge, the chosen Pokémon of each Trainer is animated. They are seen attacking or getting hit as a result of the puzzle gameplay. Once the match ends, the winning Pokémon is seen cheering while the losing Pokémon appears to be defeated or fainted.

===Pokémon Zany Cards===
In [[Pokémon Zany Cards]], the card matching games are treated as Pokémon battles, as seen in the game dialogue.

==In animation==
[[File:XY067 Ash VS Clemont.png|thumb|250px|A battle between {{Ash}} and {{an|Clemont}} about to begin]]
===''Pokémon the Series''===
Pokémon battles [[Differences between the Pokémon games and animated series|differ in several ways between ''Pokémon the Series'' and the games]]. An expansion on the games' concept, battles in {{aniseries|PTS}} are more free-flowing than those in the games, with opposing {{pkmn|Trainer}}s being able to block and evade moves in different and more creative ways than the games allow for, invent their own moves as combinations of other moves, and so on. Several concepts that later became standard in the games were developed in the animated series, such as the {{a|Lightning Rod}} Ability and Double Battles.

[[File:Dawn Conway shaking hands.png|thumb|left|220px|{{an|Dawn}} and [[Conway]] shaking hands after a battle]]
Unlike the games, there will often be a referee who determines whether or not a {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} is able to continue the match, as there is no strictly-programmed [[HP]] limit. This [[Battle judge|referee]] will sometimes be a [[Pokémon League]] official, especially in matches conducted in the various [[Pokémon League Conference]]s, though informal battles can be conducted with either no referee at all or with a knowledgeable person serving as the referee. {{an|Brock}} and {{an|Cilan}} have served as the referee for many of the informal matches between {{Ash}} and the various people he has met along his journey.

Battles in the series often feature a limit to the amount of Pokémon that can be used: Trainers rarely are allowed to use their full [[party]] of six, and must instead choose which members they will use. Most [[Gym Leader]]s and [[Frontier Brain]]s will not [[Recall|switch]] their Pokémon when challenged, as well, but will allow the challenger to do so.

Pokémon battles are a universal recreation and [[human]]s in the [[Pokémon world]] are encouraged to engage in battles as a way to meet new people and Pokémon. Many {{cat|Pokémon competitions|tournaments}} are held to allow Trainers to showcase the results of their {{pkmn|training}}. Additionally, many {{pkmn|academy|schools}} teach aspiring Trainers about situations they may face during battles, such as [[status condition]]s and [[additional effect]]s of [[move]]s. After a battle, Trainers are expected to show good sportsmanship, regardless of the outcome.

===''Pokémon Horizons: The Series''===
{{incomplete|section|needs details about the role of battling in the story of Horizons. Note that there may be similarities and differences to PtS that should be explored separately here}}
Pokémon battles in {{aniseries|HZ}} function quite similarly to the previous {{pkmn|animated series}}, {{aniseries|PTS}}, [[Differences between the Pokémon games and animated series|differing in several ways to the games]].

==In the manga==
[[File:Giovanni Rhydon Fissure Adventures.png|thumb|200px|{{adv|Red}} being targeted by an attack during a battle in Pokémon Adventures]]
===Pokémon Adventures===
Pokémon battles in the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga have notable differences to battles conducted in other [[canon]]s. For example, for all battles before the {{MangaArc|Emerald}} and certain other battles since, a Trainer would lose a battle if even just one of their Pokémon was knocked out, resulting in lots of switching mid-battle. Villainous characters may also target the opposing Trainer directly, often with the intention to kill, and targeting Poké Balls themselves to prevent a Pokémon from being sent out has also been seen on several occasions. A duo of Trainers could team up and battle a single foe or Pokémon, having the name '''Double-Dating''' (Japanese: '''ダブル{{Tt|攻撃|こうげき}}''' ''Double Attack''). Trainers can play a more notable role in battles than simply commanding their Pokémon, sometimes even riding them during a match. Factors such as how many seconds sending out a Pokémon takes or the size of a Pokémon can also play an important role in certain battles, sometimes to the point of overriding a type advantage in some way.

==In the real-life games==
===Pokémon Trading Card Game===
{{main|Pokémon Trading Card Game}}
In the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]], the card matches are a variation of Pokémon battles using {{TCG|Pokémon}} cards.

The TCG matches are officially known as battles in official material, including the game manuals, the [[Pokémon.com]] website, and in the dialogue of the Microsoft Windows games [[Pokémon Play It!]] and [[Pokémon Play It! Version 2]].

As an exception, the card matches are usually known as "{{TCG GB|duel|duels}}" instead of battles in the dialogue and manual of {{vg|Pokémon Trading Card Game}} for [[Game Boy Color]]. However, the word "battle" is also occasionally used nonetheless, such as in [[Dr. Mason]]'s quote: ''"Draw 7 cards, and get ready for the battle!"''

===Pokémon Trading Figure Game===

[[Jo-Kén-Pokémon]] is a [[Pokémon in Brazil|Brazilian]] Pokémon-themed card game based on {{wp|rock paper scissors}}. It features Pokémon battles between small cards acquired from {{wp|Elma Chips}} snacks.

There are a total of 60 Pokémon species available from both [[Generation I]] and {{gen|II}}. The winner is decided by comparing the element of each Pokémon. Each Pokémon card has one of these eight elements: Rock, Paper, Scissors, Rope, Fire, Water, Fireproof, and Waterproof (Portuguese: ''Pedra'', ''Papel'', ''Tesoura'', ''Corda'', ''Fogo'', ''Água'', ''Anti-Chamas'', and ''Impermeável'').

==Moves==
As of [[Generation IX]], there are 34 Bug-type [[move]]s, which makes up 3.64% of all moves (excluding those that are Bug-type only under certain circumstances), causing it to tie with {{t|Ghost}} and {{t|Fairy}} as the 4th rarest type among moves, after {{t|Ice}} and before {{t|Poison}}.

Prior to [[Generation IV#Advances in gameplay|changes in Generation IV]], all damaging Bug-type moves were [[physical move|physical]], but they may now also be [[special move|special]] depending on the attack.

==In spin-off games==
===Pokémon Sleep===
Unlike in the core series games, in {{g|Sleep}}, each Pokémon can only have one type, which determines the kind of [[Berry]] that the Pokémon will gather for {{Sleep|Snorlax}} to feed on. Bug-type Pokémon will gather [[Lum Berry|Lum Berries]], and typically have the Dozing [[sleep type]].

The following is a list of Bug-type Pokémon in Pokémon Sleep.

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

Due to the decreased amount of types in the TCG, Bug-type Pokémon are generally listed as {{TCG|Grass}}-type Pokémon.

Grass-type Pokémon in the TCG are generally weak to {{TCG|Fire}}-type Pokémon and have no resistance. They are strong against some {{TCG|Fighting}} and {{TCG|Darkness}} Pokémon, and until {{TCG|Sword & Shield}} were strong against some {{TCG|Water}} types as well, whilst {{TCG|Metal}} Pokémon resisted it until the {{TCG|EX Power Keepers}} expansion set before this resistance was brought back in Sword & Shield.

==Trivia==
* On average, Bug-type Pokémon have the lowest base {{stat|HP}}, {{stat|Attack}}, {{stat|Special Attack}}, {{stat|Special Defense}}, {{stat|Speed}} and base stat total of all types. 
* Bug is tied with {{t|Grass}} as the most resisted type, with seven types resisting each of them.
* This is the only [[type]]:
** That hasn't been assigned to a [[Legendary Pokémon]].
** Without a Pokémon that has a [[regional form]] or is one.
** Without a Pokémon in the {{egg|Amorphous}} or {{egg3|Field}}.
* The Bug type has been paired with every other type except for {{t|Dragon}} and {{t|Normal}}.
** This makes the Bug type the only type to not have been paired up with {{t|Dragon}}.
* [[Generation V]] introduced the most Bug-type Pokémon of any Generation, with 18, and [[Generation VI]] introduced the fewest Bug-type Pokémon, with three.
* [[Generation IV]] introduced the most Bug-type moves of any Generation, with seven, and [[Generation IX]] introduced the fewest Bug-type moves, with two.
* The {{t|Flying}} type is one of the two types most commonly paired with the Bug type, with the other type being {{t|Poison}}. However, there are a number of Bug types that are not Flying-types nor have the Ability {{a|Levitate}} despite being able to fly, such as {{p|Beedrill}} and {{p|Venomoth}}.
** Despite this, the only Bug-type Pokémon that can learn the move {{m|Fly}}, {{p|Volcarona}}, {{p|Genesect}}, and {{p|Vikavolt}}, are not Flying-type Pokémon.
*** Out of these three Pokémon, Vikavolt is the only one that could not learn Fly in its introductory generation; Vikavolt was made able to learn Fly at [[level]] 50 and from [[TM06]] in [[Pokémon Sword and Shield]].
* Until {{v2|Platinum}}, several Bug-type Pokémon ({{p|Shuckle}}, {{p|Kricketot}}, {{p|Burmy}}, {{p|Wormadam}}, and {{p|Combee}}) were unable to learn any Bug-type moves naturally. Each of them can now learn {{m|Bug Bite}} by level up.
** {{p|Pinsir}} and the {{p|Ledyba}} evolutionary line were also unable to learn any Bug-type moves naturally until Generation IV, in which the former gained access to {{m|X-Scissor}} and the latter to {{m|Silver Wind}} and {{m|Bug Buzz}} via level up.
* In [[Generation I]], the Bug type is {{DL|Type|Type effectiveness|super effective}} against {{type|Poison}} Pokémon, while the Poison type is super effective against Bug-type Pokémon. As such, this was the only case when two different types were ever super effective against each other.
** Additionally, since Generation I, the Bug and {{t|Fighting}} types are the only two separate types that resist each other.
* The Bug type was the most common 4× weakness in Generation I, with 11 Pokémon doubly weak to it, mainly due to Poison type having a weakness to it at the time.
* Each of the three [[first partner Pokémon]] types have a different effectiveness when attacking a pure Bug-type Pokémon (Grass does ½× damage, Water does 1× damage, and Fire does 2× damage).
** This trait is also shared with pure {{t|Steel}}-type Pokémon.
* No Pokémon gains the Bug type upon evolution that did not already have it. It shares this distinction with the {{t|Normal}} type.
** Additionally, no Pokémon gains the Bug type upon changing forms with the exceptions of {{p|Arceus}} and {{p|Silvally}}, which can change into any type.
* Of all Pokémon that [[List of Pokémon that evolve at or above a certain level|evolve at or above a certain level]], 11 of the earliest-evolving Pokémon are of the Bug type.
* Despite having no [[TM]]s that are of the Bug-type in [[Generation III]], {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}'s [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen beta#Sprites|internal data]] contains a sprite for Bug-type TMs.
* All Bug-type moves are eligible to be used in [[Sky Battle]]s.

Fighting (type)

ChocoLixo2:

{{types}}
The '''Fighting type''' (Japanese: '''かくとうタイプ''' ''Fighting type'') is one of the eighteen [[type]]s. Fighting-type [[move]]s are super effective against {{t|Dark}}-, {{t|Ice}}-, {{t|Normal}}-, {{t|Rock}}-, and {{type|Steel}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, while Fighting-type Pokémon are weak to {{t|Flying}}-, {{t|Fairy}}-, and {{type|Psychic}} moves.

* {{t|Fairy}} type was introduced in [[Generation VI]].

===Additional effects===
If the user has the [[Ability]] {{a|Scrappy}} or {{a|Mind's Eye}}, or the target is under the effect of the [[move]]s {{m|Foresight}} or {{m|Odor Sleuth}}, Fighting-type moves will deal ×1 damage to {{type|Ghost}} Pokémon.

==Pokémon==
As of [[Generation IX]], {{PAGESINCATEGORY:Fighting-type Pokémon|pages}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} or {{#expr: ({{PAGESINCATEGORY:Fighting-type Pokémon|pages}}/{{numpkmn}}*100) round2}}% of all Pokémon are Fighting-type (counting those that are Fighting-type in at least one of their [[form]]s, including [[Mega Evolution]]s and [[regional form]]s), causing it to tie with {{t|Dark}} as the 9th rarest [[type]] among Pokémon after {{t|Ground}}, {{t|Rock}} and {{t|Steel}} and before {{t|Fire}} and {{t|Poison}}. As of [[Generation IX]] and the introduction of {{p|Great Tusk}}, {{p|Pawmo}}, {{p|Pawmot}}, {{p|Iron Hands}}, and {{p|Iron Valiant}}, all other types have been paired up with Fighting at least once, making the Fighting type the seventh type to have this trait after {{t|Flying}}, {{t|Water}}, {{t|Psychic}}, {{t|Dark}}, {{t|Electric}} and {{t|Grass}}.

==Non-Pokémon opponents==
Some opponents featured in [[Pokéstar Studios]] in {{g|Black 2 and White 2}} can be battled like Pokémon and they have designated Pokémon types. [[Starmobile]] car powered by {{p|Revavroom}} and two {{p|Varoom}} Pokémon featured in {{g|Scarlet and Violet}} also share this property.

* The stats shown for the Caph Starmobile are the exact [[stat]]s, not [[base stat]]s. The values are custom set rather than derived from base stats, [[level]], [[Nature]], [[IV]]s, and [[EVs]].

==Moves==
As of [[Generation IX]], there are 57 Fighting-type [[move]]s, which makes up 6.10% of all moves (excluding those that are Fighting-type only under certain circumstances), making it the 4th most common [[type]] among moves, after {{t|Grass}} and before {{t|Water}} and {{t|Dark}}.

Prior to [[Generation IV#Advances in gameplay|changes in Generation IV]], all damaging Fighting-type moves were [[physical move|physical]], but they may now also be [[special move|special]] depending on the attack.

{{DL||Changed types|Some moves}} have had their types changed.

==In spin-off games==
===Pokémon Sleep===
Unlike in the core series games, in {{g|Sleep}}, each Pokémon can only have one type, which determines the kind of [[Berry]] that the Pokémon will gather for {{Sleep|Snorlax}} to feed on. Fighting-type Pokémon will gather [[Cheri Berry|Cheri Berries]], and typically have the Slumbering [[sleep type]].

The following is a list of Fighting-type Pokémon in Pokémon Sleep.

==In the TCG==
{{main|Fighting (TCG)}}
Due to the decreased amount of types in the TCG, Fighting generally adopts all {{t|Rock}}- and {{type|Ground}} Pokémon under its typing.

Fighting-type Pokémon in the TCG are generally weak to {{TCG|Psychic}} with no resistances. Fighting-type Pokémon are strong against {{TCG|Colorless}}, {{TCG|Darkness}} and {{TCG|Lightning}} Pokémon, whilst some {{TCG|Colorless}} and {{TCG|Psychic}} Pokémon can resist the Fighting type.

==Trivia==
* [[Generation V]] introduced the most Fighting-type Pokémon of any [[generation]], with 16 (including Meloetta's Pirouette Forme), and [[Generation II]] introduced the fewest, with three.
* [[Generation I|Generations I]], II, and {{gen|IV}} introduced the most Fighting-type moves of any Generation, with eight, and [[Generation VII]] introduced the fewest, with only one: {{m|All-Out Pummeling}}.
* Fighting has been paired up with every other type at least once.
** The Fighting type was the last type to receive a Pokémon with {{t|Flying}} as the other type, only receiving one with {{p|Hawlucha}} in [[Generation VI]].
* All Fighting-type moves that do damage only target one foe, and all [[physical move|physical]] Fighting-type moves make [[contact]] except for one, {{m|Meteor Assault}}.
* There has been at least one Fighting-type [[type expert|specialist]] in every [[region]] and [[generation]]. It shares this trait with the {{t|Psychic}} and {{t|Ice}} types, although Ice-type trainer [[Sina]] is not native to the [[Alola]] region where she can be battled.
* Color representations for the Fighting type have generally been inconsistent in various Pokémon media. While the Fighting type has been associated with the color red in the main Pokémon games since [[Generation III]] and up to {{pkmn|Sword and Shield}}, it is associated with orange in the {{g|Stadium series}}, the [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series]], [[Pokémon Masters EX]], and the main Pokémon games since {{pkmn|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}}. It is also associated with the color brown in the {{g|Trading Card Game}}.
* The Fighting type is the most common secondary type for evolutions of [[first partner Pokémon]], with six first partner Pokémon lines being paired with it, three of them being {{type|Fire}}.
* The Fighting type could be considered a physical counterpart to the {{t|Psychic}} type:
** The highest average stat among all Fighting-type Pokémon is {{stat|Attack}}, while for Psychic-type Pokémon, it is {{stat|Special Attack}}.
** While the Fighting type is the only formerly physical type to not have any old moves changed into special moves, the Psychic type is the only formerly special type to not have any old moves changed into physical moves.
** {{m|Counter}} and {{m|Mirror Coat}}, moves countering physical and special attacks are, respectively, Fighting- and Psychic-type moves.
** {{m|Bulk Up}} and {{m|Calm Mind}}, moves raising physical and special stats are, respectively, Fighting- and Psychic-type moves.
** The [[Cram-o-matic]] considers [[Choice Band]] and [[Muscle Band]] Fighting-type inputs, and [[Choice Specs]] and [[Wise Glasses]] Psychic-type inputs.
* The Fighting type is tied with the {{t|Ground}} type for being super effective against the most amount of types, with five.
* The Fighting type is the only type that deals super effective damage against the {{t|Normal}} type.
* On average, Fighting-type Pokémon have the highest base {{stat|Attack}} of all types. 
* The Fighting and {{t|Bug}} types are the only two separate types that resist each other.
* Every Fighting-type [[Gym Leader]] and [[Elite Four]] member, along with [[Eri]] from [[Team Star]], uses a {{p|Machamp}} or a {{p|Lucario}} in at least one of their teams.

* The Fighting type is the most common type for [[Paradox Pokémon]] to have, with five Paradox Pokémon being Fighting-type.

Poison (type)

ChocoLixo2:

{{types}}
The '''Poison type''' (Japanese: '''どくタイプ''' ''Poison type'') is one of the eighteen [[type]]s. Poison-type [[move]]s are super effective against {{t|Fairy}}- and {{type|Grass}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, while Poison-type Pokémon are weak to {{t|Ground}}- and {{type|Psychic}} moves.

==Battle properties==
''Note: Type effectiveness multipliers may vary in other {{pkmn|games}} outside the [[core series]].''

{{Flexfooter}}
* In [[Generation I]] only, Poison-type moves were super effective against {{type|Bug}} Pokémon and Bug-type moves were super effective against Poison-type Pokémon.
* {{t|Steel}} type was introduced in [[Generation II]].
* {{t|Fairy}} type was introduced in [[Generation VI]].

===Additional effects===
Poison-type Pokémon cannot become {{status|poison}}ed, except by a Pokémon with the [[Ability]] {{a|Corrosion}}, introduced in [[Generation VII]].

[[Grounded]] Poison-type Pokémon will remove {{m|Toxic Spikes}} from their side when switching in.

From [[Generation VI]] onward, when a Poison-type Pokémon uses the move {{m|Toxic}}, it cannot miss, bypassing {{stat|accuracy}} checks and [[semi-invulnerable turn]]s from moves such as {{m|Fly}} and {{m|Dig}}.

==Pokémon==
As of [[Generation IX]], {{PAGESINCATEGORY:Poison-type Pokémon|pages}} Pokémon or {{#expr: ({{PAGESINCATEGORY:Poison-type Pokémon|pages}}/{{numpkmn}}*100) round2}}% of all Pokémon are Poison-type (counting those that are Poison-type in at least one of their [[form]]s, including [[regional form]]s), causing it to tie with {{t|Fire}} as the 8th most common type after {{t|Bug}} and before {{t|Dark}} and {{t|Fighting}}.

* The stats shown for Starmobile are the exact [[stat]]s, not [[base stat]]s. The values are custom set rather than derived from base stats, [[level]], [[Nature]], [[IV]]s, and [[EVs]].

==Moves==
As of [[Generation IX]], there are 36 Poison-type [[move]]s, which makes up 3.85% of all moves (excluding those that are Poison-type only under certain circumstances), making it the 5th rarest type among moves, after {{t|Bug}}, {{t|Ghost}}, and {{t|Fairy}} and before {{t|Steel}}.

Prior to [[Generation IV#Advances in gameplay|changes in Generation IV]], all damaging Poison-type moves were [[physical move|physical]], but they may now also be [[special move|special]] depending on the attack.

==In spin-off games==
===Pokémon Sleep===
Unlike in the core series games, in {{g|Sleep}}, each Pokémon can only have one type, which determines the kind of [[Berry]] that the Pokémon will gather for {{Sleep|Snorlax}} to feed on. Poison-type Pokémon will gather [[Chesto Berry|Chesto Berries]], and typically have the Dozing [[sleep type]].

The following is a list of Poison-type Pokémon in Pokémon Sleep.

==In the TCG==
:''See also: [[Grass (TCG)]], [[Psychic (TCG)]] or [[Darkness (TCG)]]''

Due to the decreased amount of types in the TCG, Poison-type Pokémon have been listed as three different types. They were listed as {{ct|Grass}} Pokémon prior to the {{TCG|Diamond & Pearl}} set and as {{ct|Psychic}} Pokémon from Diamond & Pearl to {{TCG|Cosmic Eclipse}}. Starting with {{TCG|Sword & Shield}}, they are now listed as {{ct|Darkness}}.

Poison-type Pokémon in the TCG were generally weak to Psychic prior to Sword & Shield, as Grass or Psychic types, and are now weak to {{TCG|Fighting}}. They have no resistances. As Grass types, they were strong against some Fighting Pokémon prior to Diamond & Pearl; from Diamond and Pearl to Cosmic Eclipse, they were changed to the Psychic type, and were strong against most Fighting and Psychic types; and from Sword and Shield onward they are Darkness type, and are strong against most Psychic types. They can be resisted by Darkness from Diamond and Pearl to Cosmic Eclipse, as well as {{TCG|Metal}} until Sword and Shield.

==Trivia==
* [[Generation I]] introduced the most Poison-type Pokémon of any generation, with 33, and [[Generation VI]] introduced the fewest Poison-type Pokémon, with two.
* Generation I had more Poison-type Pokémon (33) than Water-type Pokémon (32), and it was the only generation where Poison was the most common type.
* Generation I introduced the most Poison-type moves of any generation, with eight, and Generation II introduced the fewest Poison-type moves, with only {{m|Sludge Bomb|one}}.
* In Generation I, Poison-type moves are [[super effective]] against {{type|Bug}} Pokémon, while Bug-type moves are super effective against Poison-type Pokémon. This is the only case in which a pair of distinct types is super effective against each other.
* Poison is the only type that didn't have a Pokémon added to the [[List of Pokémon by Sinnoh Pokédex number|Sinnoh Pokédex]] in {{game|Platinum}}. Although the {{t|Fairy}} type wasn't introduced at that point, the expansion added {{p|Ralts}}, {{p|Kirlia}}, {{p|Gardevoir}}, {{p|Togepi}}, {{p|Togetic}} and {{p|Togekiss}} which would later on be retyped Fairy.
* The Poison type is the only one of the original 15 types not mentioned in the song [[2.B.A. Master]]. Instead, the "Flame type" (which does not exist) is mentioned.
* All types that are super effective against the {{t|Dark}} type are resisted by the Poison type.
** In turn, Dark is immune to [[Psychic (type)|Psychic-typed]] attacks whereas Poison is weak to, thus a dual type Poison/Dark Pokémon, under normal circumstances, would only have only one weakness in [[Ground (type)|Ground]].
* The Poison type is the type that has been represented by the most types in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game|TCG]], with three.
* Only odd-numbered [[generation]]s introduced pure Poison-type Pokémon.
** [[Generation IX]] is the first one to break this chain, not adding any pure Poison-type Pokémon.
* The Poison type is one of the only two types, the other being {{t|Fairy}}, to not have any moves that cause [[flinch]]ing.
** However, the [[King's Rock]] and [[Razor Fang]], as well as the [[Ability]] {{a|Stench}} from [[Generation V]] onwards, may make any of them able to cause flinching.
* The Poison type is tied with the {{t|Steel}} type for being the most common type among [[Ultra Beasts]], with three Ultra Beasts being Poison- or Steel-type each.
* Poison and {{t|Flying}} are the only types to have at least one Pokémon in every [[Egg Group]] (not counting the {{egg3|Ditto}}).
* The Poison type has been paired up with every other type except for {{t|Ice}}.

{{incomplete|needs=restrictions on trading Pokémon that know HM moves}}
[[File:RG HM.png|thumb|250px|HM artwork for {{game|Red and Green|s}}]]
A '''Hidden Machine''' (Japanese: '''ひでんマシン''' ''Secret Machine''), '''HM''' for short, is an [[item]] that, like a [[TM]], is used to teach a Pokémon a move. HMs can be used an unlimited number of times and cannot be disposed of. Moves taught by HMs, known as '''HM moves''' or '''hidden moves'''<ref group="lower-alpha">Formatted as "hidden move" from [[Generation III]] to [[Generation V]], "Hidden Move" in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} and {{B2W2}}, and "<sc>Hidden</sc> move" (Japanese: '''ひでんわざ''' ''secret move''; formatted in kanji as '''{{ruby|秘伝技|ひでんわざ}}''' ''secret move'' only at the [[Entralink]] and when using [[Poké Transfer]] in Generation V) in FireRed and LeafGreen.</ref>, cannot normally be forgotten. These moves have a use as [[field move]]s in games in which they are HMs.

In Japanese games, it is said that HMs are [[Key Item]]s, according to the text that appears when the player attempts to delete them. However, this was lost in the localization, where it is simply said that some items are too important to be deleted.

Starting in [[Generation VII]], there are no longer any HMs. Some former HM moves are instead TM or [[TR]] moves in these games. The field move uses of HM moves are replaced by:
* [[Poké Ride]]{{sup/7|SMUSUM}}
* [[Secret Technique]]s{{sup/7|PE}}
* [[Flying Taxi]] and [[Rotom Bike]]{{sup/8|SwSh}}
* [[Pokétch]] ([[Pokétch#Hidden Moves|Hidden Moves app]]){{sup/8|BDSP}}
* {{hi|Ride Pokémon}}{{sup/8|LA}}
* Flying Taxi and {{p|Koraidon}}{{sup/9|S}}/{{p|Miraidon}}{{sup/9|V}}'s upgraded abilities{{sup/9|SV}}

==In the core series games==
===Mechanics===
HMs can be used any number of times, and cannot be tossed, sold, or [[held item|held]]. This contrasts to TMs in Generations {{gen|I}} to {{gen|IV}}, in which TMs are single-use items that can be tossed, sold, or held. In {{game2|FireRed|LeafGreen|Emerald}}, HMs cannot be stored in a [[PC]].

Moves taught by HMs are all [[field move]]s in the games in which they are HMs, but some field moves are not HM moves. Like all field moves, they can be used outside of battle even if the Pokémon has fainted or no [[PP]] in that move (using it as a field move does not consume PP). Except for [[Generation V]], the player can only use HM moves as field moves if they have the appropriate [[Badge]] or number of Badges (the exact requirements vary between games).

HM moves cannot be forgotten by Pokémon under normal circumstances in the games in which they are HMs, even if they are not learned via HM. They can be deleted by the [[Move Deleter]], although {{m|Surf}} cannot be deleted in {{game|Emerald}} if the Pokémon is the only one in the player's [[party]] or [[PC]] that knows the move. If a Pokémon learns a new move while in [[Pokémon Day Care]], an HM move can be replaced if it is at the top of the list; however, in [[Generation I]], the Pokémon Day Care will not accept Pokémon that know HM moves.

In Generation III and IV, a Pokémon knowing an HM move cannot be transferred to the next generation unless the HM move is removed (e.g. via [[Move Deleter]]). In Generation III, {{m|Dive}} prevents sending forward from {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} despite not being considered an HM by those games; in Generation IV, since Dive is no longer an HM move, Pokémon with Dive can freely be sent into Generation V games. In Generation IV, {{m|Defog}} and {{m|Whirlpool}} only prevent Pokémon being sent forward from the games they are an HM in (e.g. a Pokémon knowing Whirlpool can be sent from Pokémon Platinum to Generation V); since Whirlpool is not an HM move in Generation III, Pokémon with Whirlpool can freely be sent into {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} from Generation III.

Unlike in previous inter-generational transfers, Pokémon transferred from Generation I or V via [[Poké Transporter]] that know HM moves do not require these moves to be deleted. Pokémon which know HM moves cannot be traded over [[Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection]] or the [[Nintendo Network]], and also cannot be deposited in the [[GTS]]. Pokémon that know HM moves can also be freely deposited and withdrawn from [[Pokémon Bank]].

In Generation V, Pokémon knowing an HM move cannot be traded via [[infrared]] communications if they are in the player's [[party]], to prevent a player from potentially becoming stuck somewhere that requires an HM move to escape.

In Generation III and IV, if the player attempts to [[Released Pokémon|release]] a Pokémon that is the only Pokémon in their party or PC that knows a certain HM move, it will immediately return. In Generation III, these moves are {{m|Surf}} and {{m|Dive}}. In Generation IV, they are Surf, {{m|Waterfall}}, and {{m|Rock Climb}}, as well as {{m|Fly}} in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}.

===HMs by generation===
====Generation I====
Five HM moves were introduced in this generation. Three HMs ({{m|Cut}}, {{m|Surf}}, and {{m|Strength}}) are required for completing the games.

|}

Four of them remain as HM moves even through [[Generation VI]], while the fifth, {{m|Flash}}, retains the ability to be used outside of battle (to light dark caves in [[Generation V]], or reduce encounters with wild Pokémon in Generation VI).

None of these moves are able to be forgotten in Generation I, and a Pokémon with these moves cannot be raised by the [[Pokémon Day Care]] on {{rt|5|Kanto}}. Unlike in later generations, all of these moves must be selected from the Pokémon screen to be used.

====Generation II====
The five HMs from Generation I return, while a new move, {{m|Whirlpool}}, is introduced as an HM, and an old move, {{m|Waterfall}}, becomes one as well. Five HMs are required for completing the games: the same three from before ({{m|Cut}}, {{m|Surf}}, and {{m|Strength}}) and the two new HMs.

|}

A [[Move Deleter]] was added to the games, mostly with the intention of making possible the ability to delete {{cat|Generation II moves}} that a {{cat|Generation I Pokémon}} had learned in order to be able to trade it back, though with the side effect of HM moves now being able to be forgotten.

From this generation on, Pokémon with HM moves are allowed in the Day Care, and fathers with HM moves will pass the moves down to their children as they would a TM move. HM moves can also be used just by checking the obstacle that the HM will clear, such as {{m|surf}}able water or a movable rock.

====Generation III====
=====Hoenn=====
{{m|Whirlpool}} lost its HM status, while {{m|Rock Smash}} gained HM status, and a new move, {{m|Dive}}, became an HM, raising the total number to eight. Five HMs are required for completing the games: {{m|Surf}}, {{m|Strength}}, {{m|Rock Smash}}, {{m|Waterfall}}, and {{m|Dive}}. While Cut is not required anymore, it can still be used to access optional areas.

=====Kanto=====
In Kanto, due to a lack of use for {{m|Dive}} outside of battle, HM08 is unobtainable and can only be accessed through [[cheating]]. The first five HMs can be acquired through the same methods as in Generation I, while HM06 and HM07 can be found in the [[Sevii Islands]] later in the game.

Three HMs are required for completing the games: the same ones from Generation I ({{m|Cut}}, {{m|Surf}}, and {{m|Strength}}). In addition, {{m|Waterfall}} is required for finishing the Pokémon Network machine, which allows trading with the Hoenn games.

====Generation IV====
=====Sinnoh=====
For the first time, one of the original HMs, Flash, lost its status to a new move, {{m|Defog}}, while HM08 was brought back as {{m|Rock Climb}}.

Six HMs are required for completing the games: {{m|Cut}}, {{m|Surf}}, {{m|Strength}}, {{m|Rock Smash}}, {{m|Waterfall}}, and {{m|Rock Climb}}.

=====Johto and Kanto=====
Defog lost its HM status in Johto for the return of {{m|Whirlpool}}; all other HMs retained their status from the prior Sinnoh games.

Six HMs are required for completing the games: {{m|Cut}}, {{m|Surf}}, {{m|Strength}}, {{m|Whirlpool}}, {{m|Waterfall}}, and {{m|Rock Climb}}.

====Generation V====
HMs were reduced to six in Generation V; HM07 and HM08 no longer exist in the coding of {{game|Black and White|s}}. Dive returns for use in Unova. This generation marks the first and only time that HM moves do not require Gym Badges for use outside of battle. Although most HM moves cannot be obtained before earning certain Gym Badges, if the player obtains a Pokémon that has learned an HM move through other means (via [[Level|level-up]], [[Trade|trading]], etc.) the player will be able to use the HM in the field without restrictions.

When a move is replaced by an HM, the HM move takes on the current PP of the replaced move until [[Pokémon Center|healed]] or [[Ether|replenished]]. The same also applies for replacing old moves with TMs.

Of all the HMs, only a single use of {{m|Cut}} is required at the [[Dreamyard]] for completing Pokémon Black and White. Only {{m|Surf}} and {{m|Strength}} are required for completing {{B2W2}}. Cut, Surf, {{m|Strength}}, {{m|Waterfall}}, and {{m|Dive}} can still be often used to access optional areas. Strength may also often be optionally used to make shortcuts.

====Generation VI====
HMs have returned to requiring a Badge to use them.

When a move is replaced by an HM, the HM move takes on the current PP of the replaced move until [[Pokémon Center|healed]] or [[Ether|replenished]]. The same also applies for replacing old moves with TMs.

=====Kalos=====
HMs were reduced to five in Kalos like in Generation l. The HMs are the same as Generation V, except HM06 was removed.

{{m|Surf}} and {{m|Strength}} are required to complete the game. {{m|Cut}}, Surf, Strength, and {{m|Waterfall}} can be often used to access optional areas. Strength may also often be optionally used to make shortcuts.

Though {{m|Rock Smash}} is not an HM, it can still be used outside of battle, unlike in Generation V.

=====Hoenn=====
HMs were increased to seven in Hoenn. {{m|Rock Smash}} and {{m|Dive}} regained their HM status.

Seven of the eight original Hoenn HMs are available in the remakes. {{m|Flash}} is the exception, which is still usable outside of battle as usual, but is not an HM anymore since Generation IV.

Like in the original Hoenn games, five HMs are required for completing the games ({{m|Surf}}, {{m|Strength}}, {{m|Rock Smash}}, {{m|Waterfall}}, and {{m|Dive}}), while Cut can be used to access optional areas.

===HM-exclusive moves===
Due to the nature of HMs, these moves are often exclusively taught by them.

==In the spin-off games==
===Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series===
Prior to {{g|Super Mystery Dungeon}}, HMs can be used an infinite amount of times and are colored differently to TMs. HMs cannot be used inside dungeons and are more difficult to obtain than TMs. In [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team|Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team]], each HM can only be found once in [[List of TM and HM locations in the Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series|specific dungeons]], while in [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness|Explorers of Time and Darkness]] and [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky|Sky]], they can only be found in [[Destiny Tower (Explorers of Sky)|Destiny Tower]] or [[Final Maze]]. They play a particular role in Red and Blue Rescue Team, where the player must either have a specific HM in the [[Toolbox]] or have a party member that knows the move taught by that HM in order to access certain dungeons.

In {{g|Super Mystery Dungeon}}, HMs are treated more or less the same as TMs. Like TMs, they can only be used once and have the same bag sprite as TMs. Despite this, when a HM is dropped in a dungeon, the color of the HM differs from that of a TM.

==In animation==
[[File:Hidden Machine PO.png|thumb|250px|HM01 in [[Pokémon Origins]]]]
===Pokémon Origins===
{{HM|01|Cut}} appeared in ''[[PO02|File 2: Cubone]]''. Much like in {{game|Red and Blue|s}}, it was given to {{OBP|Red|Origins}} by the captain of the [[S.S. Anne]] after helping him recover from his seasickness.

[[File:Hidden Machine Adventures.png|thumb|140px|HM03 in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
[[File:Hidden Machine Zensho.png|thumb|left|190px|HM01 in [[Pokémon Zensho]]]]
===Pokémon Adventures===
===={{MangaArc|Red, Green & Blue}}====
In ''[[PS024|What a Dragonite]]'', {{adv|Red}} was revealed to have already obtained {{HM|01|Cut}} for his [[Saur|Ivysaur]], {{HM|04|Strength}} for his [[Snor]]lax, and {{HM|05|Flash}} for his [[Pika]]chu, one of which he had won in a [[bicycle|bike]] race in ''[[PS012|Wake Up—You're Snorlax!]]''. When he tried to get his hands on {{HM|03|Surf}}, he ran into some trouble with a wild {{p|Dragonite}}, eventually leading to the Hidden Machine getting destroyed. To help him, [[Misty]] gave Red her [[Gyara]]dos [[Trade|in exchange]] for his {{p|Krabby}}, since it already knew Surf.

It was also revealed that {{adv|Blue}} had found HM03 before Red, fueling the young Trainer's determination of finding it too.

===Pokémon Zensho===
In ''[[PZ04|Vermilion City]]'', after defeating [[Lt. Surge]], {{Zensho|Satoshi}} received the HM for Cut from the captain of the S.S. Anne, whom he had met earlier.

==Trivia==
* In the core series, {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}} and all [[Generation IV]] games have the highest number of HMs available (each game has eight HMs), and all Generation IV games have the most HMs required for completion (with six HMs required in each).
* Of all the core series games with available HMs, the [[Generation I]] games and the [[Kalos]] ([[Generation VI]]) games are the ones with lowest number of HMs (they have five HMs), and {{game|Black and White|s}} are the ones with fewest HMs required for completion (with only Cut needed).
* Flash and Defog are never required to finish a game. Flash and Defog remove obstacles ([[darkness]] and [[fog]], respectively) that make it difficult to see; areas affected can still otherwise be normally explored with these obstacles present.
* With the exception of Flash, Fly, and Defog, all HMs are required to finish the games where they first gained their HM status.
* In the core series, the only methods that can remove an HM move are [[Move Deleter]] and the [[Pokémon Day Care]]. However, HM moves can be replaced as normal in games in which they are not HMs.
* The only then-current HM moves that were also able to be learned by Pokémon by level-up were {{m|Fly}} and {{m|Waterfall}}. Former HMs {{m|Flash}}, {{m|Whirlpool}}, {{m|Defog}}, {{m|Rock Smash}}, {{m|Rock Climb}}, and {{m|Dive}} are also learnable by level, but only since their loss of HM status. Moves that regained their HM status, like Whirlpool and Dive, remained learnable by level-up. Waterfall remains the only HM move that has been learnable by level-up since it was introduced as a move, prior to gaining HM status.
* {{m|Rock Smash}} is the only HM with a unique type. All other HM moves share their type with at least one other HM move.
** HM moves have so far been only of the {{t|Flying}}, {{t|Fighting}}, {{t|Water}}, and {{t|Normal}} types.
* As of [[Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl]], all HM moves have been available by TM at some point.
* In {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}, on {{rt|20|Kanto}}, Swimmer Lori states "{{m|Surf}} is no longer the only HM move you use in water" when she is defeated. This is a reference to [[Generation I]], where the only HM usable in the water was Surf.
* In Generation IV, all moves that were at one time an HM can be taught via some method, with Flash being available by [[TM70]] and Dive being available by [[Move Tutor]]. Defog and Whirlpool, which replace each other in the [[Sinnoh]]- and [[Johto]]-based games, are both HM05.
** [[Generation IV]] is the only generation in which two moves share the same HM number.
* {{m|Dive}} is the only HM in Generation V that is not found in a different location between {{game|Black and White|s}} and {{B2W2}}.
* In {{pkmn|Sun and Moon|Pokémon Sun, Moon}}, {{pkmn|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Ultra, Sun, and Ultra Moon}}, {{tc|Swimmer Girls}} Kylie and Ashlyn, two [[Kalos]]ian HM-makers encountered at [[Poni Breaker Coast]] during the post-game, explain that HMs are not only difficult to make, they also cannot legally be sold for money in most regions.
* [[Tracey's Scyther]] is the first Pokémon belonging to a main character of the {{pkmn|animated series}} to have used a then-current HM move, {{m|Cut}}. It wasn't until {{aniseries|DP}} that one of {{Ash}}'s Pokémon used a then-current HM move; [[Ash's Grotle]] used {{m|Rock Climb}}.
** Although debatable, other Pokémon may have used {{m|Dive}} and {{m|Fly}} throughout the animated series; however, they were not directly ordered to use the move.

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

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

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

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

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

|}

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

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

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

===Obedience===
{{main|Obedience}}
Badges affect a {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}'s behavior. [[Outsider Pokémon]] over a certain [[level]] will refuse to obey the player without the appropriate badge. In {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}, [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], and {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}, obedience is determined by the number of badges, not which specific badges the player has. Starting in {{pkmn|Legends: Arceus}}, this applies even to non-outsider Pokémon, but is based on the level the Pokémon was met at when [[Caught Pokémon|caught]] (as displayed on the [[Summary]] screen), rather than its current level. This prevents a Pokémon from suddenly becoming disobedient once it exceeds a player's current obedience level (listed below), as long as it was caught at or below that level. In Generation IX if a Pokémon is received in a trade, the level at which it was traded instead becomes the level it was met at, even if traded back to its [[Original Trainer]].

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

In [[Kalos]], due to {{an|Clemont}}'s perception of an ideal challenger of the [[Lumiose Gym]], he programmed the [[Clembot]]—the substitute [[Gym Leader]]—to throw out challengers who did not have four [[Kalos League]] badges. As a result, when Ash attempted to challenge the Gym shortly after arriving in the Kalos region, Clembot acted according to its programming and threw him out. After Clemont [[XY009|reprogrammed the Clembot]], he removed the badge restriction, but Ash indicated he would still collect four badges before challenging Clemont himself at the Gym.
[[File:Gardenia and Forest Badge.png|thumb|250px|Gardenia holding the Forest Badge]]
Many fellow Trainers that Ash has encountered have been shown to have badges that do not exist in the games, such as {{Gary}} earning ten badges in Kanto, indicating that there are more than eight Gyms in each region. Other badges observed in {{aniseries|PTS}} which do not correspond to known badges suggest that there are at least 9 Gyms in [[Hoenn]], 11 in [[Sinnoh]], 14 in [[Unova]], and 11 in [[Kalos]]. Despite this, Ash's badge case has frequently had indents specifically shaped for the badges that appear in the games. However, Trainers only need 8 to qualify.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

====Non-Gym badges====
Several badges have appeared in the animated series that are not official Gym Badges.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Ash has obtained eight badges from Kanto, but only three (Boulder, Cascade, Earth) actually match known badges, and another three are lookalike badges (resembling the Soul, Marsh, and Volcano). Ash also obtained four badges from the Orange Islands, three of which were shown, but none appeared to match any known badges (despite him exiting [[Navel Gym]] while showing off those badges, as well as previously trying to reach [[Mikan Island]]).

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

===Project Voltage===
In the music video for [[What Kind of Future]], Hatsune Miku is seen holding up a custom Badge with a [[Leek]] design.

==Trivia==
[[File:The Final Badge DVD.jpg|thumb|150px|The Earth Badge's design in {{aniseries|OS}}]]
[[File:Earth Badge.png|thumb|150px|Official artwork of the Earth Badge]]
[[File:Legend Badge slot.png|thumb|200px|The original badge slots in Ash's Unova badge case]]
* In the [[Pokémon Project Studio Red and Blue]] computer programs, the Soul and Marsh Badges' names are reversed, with the pink heart-shaped badge being the Marsh Badge and the yellow circular badge being the Soul Badge. Several animation and game handbooks also make this same switch. It is possible that there was an initial error in naming the badges in {{game|Red and Blue|s}}. A soul would be more attuned to {{t|psychic}} abilities and one finds {{t|Poison|poisonous}} gases in a marsh. However, no official confirmation has ever been given.
* Official artwork of the Earth Badge (featured in media such as Pokémon Project Studio Red and Blue and [[Extreme Pokémon: The Guide for the Ultimate Fan]]) differs significantly from its appearance in the games, animation, manga, and TCG. The design in its official artwork resembles a plant, whereas its other design resembles a feather.
* [[Paldea]] has the most badges out of any region, at 18, although only eight of those are Gym Badges.
** It is also the only region to have a badge for every single type.
* The Orange League is the only known Pokémon League with fewer than eight badges.
* It is possible to [[Badge sequence|obtain certain badges in a non-linear order]]. The most notable examples of this are the badges in the [[Kanto]] and [[Paldea]] regions.
** In Generation I and III, the Thunder Badge, Rainbow Badge, Soul Badge, Marsh Badge, and Volcano Badge can be obtained in almost any order the player desires, with the stipulation that the Soul Badge must be obtained before the Volcano Badge, as the Soul Badge is required in order to use Surf on the field, which, in turn, is required to reach Cinnabar Island where the Volcano Badge is obtained.
** In Generation II and IV, the Kanto badges can be obtained in virtually any order, although in Generation IV the player cannot obtain the Earth Badge until obtaining the other seven.
** In [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], the Boulder and Cascade Badges must each be obtained to progress to the next Gym, and [[Viridian Gym]] (Earth Badge) is closed until the player has obtained all seven other badges. Other than these restrictions, the badges can be obtained in any order.
** In {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}, the Knuckle Badge can be postponed until after the Heat Badge, but must be obtained in order to challenge the [[Petalburg Gym]]. The Feather Badge is not required until challenging the Elite Four.
*** In {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, this is no longer the case, because the southern part of {{rt|120|Hoenn}} is blocked until the player obtains the Feather Badge.
** In [[Generation IX]], the different badges can be acquired in virtually any order as part of the open world design.
* In Generation V and VI, the game saves which species of Pokémon were on the team when the player earns each badge, and each of these games has an NPC who can examine a badge to uncover its story:
** {{g|Black and White}}: [[Lacunosa Town]], a {{tc|Psychic}} on the upper floor of the Pokémon Center
** {{g|Black and White 2}}: Lacunosa Town, a Psychic on the lower floor of the Pokémon Center
** {{g|X and Y}}: [[Laverre City]], a {{tc|Hex Maniac}} in the house west of the Gym
** {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}: [[Mossdeep City]], a Hex Maniac in the house to the southeast
* In Generation I, as well as {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, the fanfare that plays when obtaining a badge is only used for the first and final badges (the Boulder and Earth Badge respectively), and it plays at the end of battle instead of after.
* In FireRed and LeafGreen, the Earth Badge is the only badge that doesn't allow the use of an HM outside of battle, while in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} it is the only Kanto badge that does.
* The Rainbow Badge's colors correspond with the colors of all the other Kanto badges, explaining the colors in its design.
* In the code of the Generation I games, [[List of unobtainable items|items]] named for each badge can be found. The items named '''BoulderBadge''' and '''CascadeBadge''' allow players to throw bait and rocks, respectively, at Pokémon outside of the {{safari|Kanto}} when used in battle. The other "badge items" are only used internally by the {{DL|Cerulean City|Gym Badge man}} and otherwise have no purpose, simply displaying Professor Oak's "This isn't the time to use that!" message when trying to use them.
* The Basic Badge is the only badge to be given out by more than one Gym.
** It is not the only badge to be given out by more than one Gym Leader, however, as it shares this trait with the Soul, Earth, Rain, Trio, and Legend Badges.
* The Rising Badge is the only badge the player receives outside of its respective Gym.
* The Legend Badge is the only badge from a region where {{Ash}} has competed for Gym Badges that has not appeared in the animated series.
** When Ash initially got his [[Unova]] badge case in ''[[BW013|Minccino—Neat and Tidy!]]'', the slots in it were made to fit each badge in Pokémon Black and White, but they later became circular to accommodate the Toxic Badge.
* Ash has not won a badge in the same episode as his first encounter with its respective Gym Leader since earning the Dynamo Badge from [[Wattson]] in ''[[AG040|Watts with Wattson?]]''.
* The Rain Badge is the only badge that Ash has earned twice, first earning one from [[Juan]] in ''[[AG111|Eight Ain't Enough]]'', and later receiving a second one from [[Wallace]] after defeating him in ''[[JN105|Reuniting for the First Time!]]''.
* In [[Alola]], [[Gym]]s and badges are not present. Instead, the player receives [[Z-Crystal]]s for completing their trials and grand trials, which replace badges on the [[save]] file and for unlocking new items at the [[Poké Mart]] (the latter for Z-Crystals from trials only). Additionally, grand trial completion {{DL|Trainer card (game)|Stamps}} are used to ensure [[obedience]].
** This makes Alola the only region where the player cannot have all [[outsider Pokémon]] regardless of level obey them prior to becoming Champion.
** In [[Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon]], the player can receive an unofficial badge known as the [[Surge Badge]] by defeating the leader of the [[Kantonian Gym]] in [[Malie City]]. Although it is purely a novelty item and serves no practical purpose, its design and Japanese name are direct references to the Thunder Badge, while its English name is also a reference to [[Lt. Surge]].
* [[Galar]] is the only region with version-exclusive Gym Badges.

===Name origin===
* Several {{type|Ice}} badges have caused a line of naming conflicts, starting with [[Mahogany Gym]]'s Glacier Badge ({{tt|アイスバッジ|Aisu Bajji}} ''Ice Badge'').
** [[Snowpoint Gym]]'s Icicle Badge is originally called the {{tt|グレイシャバッジ|Gurēsha Bajji}} ''Glacier Badge''.
** [[Icirrus Gym]]'s Freeze Badge is originally called the {{tt|アイシクルバッジ|Aishikuru Bajji}} ''Icicle Badge''.
** Conversely, [[Circhester Stadium]]'s Ice Badge{{sup/8|Sh}} has its English name conflict with the Japanese name of the Glacier Badge, although its own Japanese name {{tt|こおり|Kōri}} is the Japanese ''translation'' of "ice", rather than a transcription of the English word.
* With the exception of the Rainbow and Rising Badges, all badges in Kanto and [[Johto]] were renamed for audiences outside of Japan. All [[Hoenn]] League badges keep their Japanese names, as do [[Sinnoh]] League badges, with the exception of the Icicle Badge, as mentioned above.
** The Japanese names of the Kanto badges are all colors, following the color pattern for the town and city names. In the case of [[Celadon City]], the Rainbow Badge is likely a reference to the city's namesake in Japanese being the {{wp|Chrysochroa fulgidissima|jewel beetle}} with its wings featuring an iridescent appearance.
* The Trio and Insect Badges are the first badges since the Glacier Badge in Generation II to get renamed in the English version of the games, without there being a localization conflict between the Japanese and English versions.
** The Insect Badge is one of two badges whose English name coincides with the Japanese name of a pre-existing badge, in this case the Hive Badge. The other is the Ice Badge, mentioned above.
* All badges in Galar and Paldea are named directly after their corresponding [[type]]s.
** Consequently, [[Kalos]] has a Fairy Badge (フェアリーバッジ) in addition to Galar and Paldea, making them the only badges to share a name with each other in both English and Japanese.
* The Storm Badge's English name may be derived from the {{wp|lucha libre}} wrestler {{wp|Fray Tormenta}}—also the inspiration for [[Crasher Wake]]—whose name translates as "Friar Storm".

'''Professor Samuel Oak''' (Japanese: '''オーキド・ユキナリ博士''' ''Dr. Yukinari Ohkido'') is a [[Pokémon Professor]] who lives and works at his [[Professor Oak's Laboratory|research lab]] in [[Pallet Town]] of the [[Kanto]] [[region]].

==Terminology==
In the Japanese version, Professor Oak's given name '''ユキナリ''' (''Yukinari'') first appeared in "Pocket Monsters Zukan", a guidebook published by Aspect. The given name had later appeared in various media such as [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]], [[Pocket Monsters: The Animation]], the [[M04|fourth Pokémon movie]], and [[Pokémon Adventures]], before it was confirmed as his name in the core series with [[Samson Oak]] mentioning it in {{g|Sun and Moon}}.<ref>'''[[Samson Oak/Quotes|Samson Oak]]''': ''"Oh, that cousin of mine in Kanto... He and I look remarkably alike, or so everyone always says. He's Samuel Oak, though."'' ({{game4|SMUSUM}}</ref>

==In the core series games==
Professor Oak works in [[Professor Oak's Laboratory|his Laboratory]] in [[Pallet Town]] with his aides. He gives {{ga|Red}} and {{ga|Blue}} their [[first partner Pokémon]] in {{game3|Red and Green|Pokémon Red, Green|s}}, {{game3|Red and Blue|Blue|s}}, {{v2|Yellow}}, {{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}}. In the last pair of games, he also grants the {{player}} the [[National Pokédex]] once they've caught at least 60 Pokémon. He is an idol to many Trainers and researchers, including [[Professor Elm]], and always plays an important supporting role in the many games that he appears in.

He was a childhood friend of [[Agatha]]. They remained good friends and top-class Pokémon Trainers until Oak stopped battling and became interested in Pokémon research. Agatha said that he became soft and started to regard him as a fool. However, Oak still affiliates with the [[Pokémon League]] as an adviser. In [[Pokémon Masters EX]], during her [[Sync pair|Sync Pair]] Story "A Day with Agatha", {{mas|Agatha}} explains how she and Oak met. Oak was always friendly and open when he was young and would talk to Agatha and try to help her. Though he was only trying to be nice, it still annoyed Agatha because she wanted to be left alone. Agatha would battle Oak to try and get him to go away, but he was always better than her, and so she would battle him again and again. Eventually, the time they spent together began to mean a lot to Agatha. As a result, when Oak got the idea to invent the [[Pokédex]] and subsequently stopped battling, Agatha felt betrayed.

[[File:HGSS Prerelease Mr Pokemon House.png|thumb|200px|Oak with {{ga|Ethan}} and Mr. Pokémon in [[Generation IV]]]]
Professor Oak was always well known in [[Kanto]], but in [[Generation II]] and {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, he becomes more of a celebrity, a "star Pokémon Researcher". He became famous in [[Johto]] because of his Radio Show with [[DJ Mary]]. He was going to turn down the show at first, but Mary's energy and persistence wore him down. {{ga|Ethan}}/{{ga|Kris}}/{{ga|Lyra}} first meets him visiting the home of [[Mr. Pokémon]], another of Oak's childhood friends. Later he grants the young Trainer access to [[Mt. Silver]], a place which only the finest Pokémon Trainers may enter, after the player has earned all the Badges in Johto and later Kanto. In the [[remake]]s, he also gives the player the National Pokédex after they've entered the [[Hall of Fame]], gives them {{HM|08|Rock Climb}} once they've earned all 16 [[Badge]]s, allows them to choose one of the Kanto [[first partner Pokémon]] once they've beaten Red, and hands over the [[Jade Orb]] if the player has caught both {{p|Groudon}} and {{p|Kyogre}} at the [[Embedded Tower]].

Professor Oak has many old friends. One of them is [[Kurt]], a [[Poké Ball]] smith from [[Azalea Town]], and another is Professor Elm, who used to be Oak's assistant. In fact, there is a picture on Kurt's wall saying "...a young Prof Oak?" and an email addressed to him from Professor Elm can be found in his lab:
:"''...
:''<sc>Prof. Oak</sc>, how is your research
:''coming along? I'm still plugging
:''away. I heard rumors
:''that {{player|<player>}} is
:''getting quite a reputation.
:''I'm delighted to hear that.
:''<sc>Elm</sc> in <sc>[[New Bark Town]]</sc> 8-)''"

Professor Oak has many fans and admirers. One of them is {{tc|School Kid|Schoolboy}} Chad, who frequently calls the player to share trivia about Oak.

Professor Oak is also a good friend of [[Professor Rowan]]. He visits [[Sinnoh]] often, has a home in [[Eterna City]], introduces Trainers to [[Pal Park]]{{sup/4|DPPt}}/[[Ramanas Park]]{{sup/8|BDSP}}, and gives them the National Pokédex, as well as the [[Upgrade|Up-Grade]], [[Poké Radar]], and the {{DL|Pokétch|Trainer Counter}} app for their [[Pokétch]]. [[Oak's Letter|A letter]] that he sends to the player in a special event allows the player to find {{p|Shaymin}}. An aide in Rowan's laboratory mentions that Oak is Rowan's junior in terms of seniority. In {{v2|Platinum}}, after providing the Up-Grade, Professor Oak will talk about the [[legendary birds]] and say that they have been sighted in [[Sinnoh]]. From this point {{p|Articuno}}, {{p|Zapdos}}, and {{p|Moltres}} will be visible roaming on the map.

Professor Oak also appears in {{LGPE}}, where he serves the same role for {{ga|Chase}}/{{ga|Elaine}} and {{ga|Trace}} that he originally served for Red and Blue. He originally has two first partner Pokémon to give to them, but after the player catches their own {{OBP|partner Pokémon|Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!}}, the third Pokémon goes unrevealed.

Unused Trainer data for Prof. Oak (Japanese: '''{{j|オーキドせんせい}}''' ''Teacher Oak'') exists in all Generation I games.

Prof. Oak has data for three different teams using different first partner Pokémon, with each Pokémon being [[level]] 66-70, higher than Blue's {{pkmn|Champion}} battle team. It is possible he was meant to be a late-game opponent, perhaps similar to Red in [[Generation II]].

He can be battled by exploiting certain [[glitch]]es.

[[File:Professor Oak Origins.png|thumb|250px|Professor Oak in [[Pokémon Origins]]]]

He assigned {{OBP|Red|Origins}} and {{OBP|Blue|Origins}} with the task of completing his dream of a complete Pokédex. Eventually, Red did manage to catch {{cat|Generation I Pokémon|all 150 known Pokémon}}, but then realized that {{p|Mew}} was still out there, and decided to continue his effort in bringing Professor Oak's dream to a true completion.

Professor Oak appeared in ''[[PE08|The Discovery]]''. {{ga|Green}} met him at his laboratory in [[Pallet Town]], apologizing for having failed to complete the [[Pokédex]]. Professor Oak, however, revealed that other Pallet Town Trainers had been taking on the same project as well, and thanks to them, the Pokédex was now complete. Just then, he received a call from [[Professor Willow|a colleague of his]], who informed him of {{p|Meltan|a new Pokémon made entirely of metal}}. However, when Professor Oak turned around to share the news with Green, {{ga|Elaine}}, and {{ga|Trace}}, he was surprised to see them having already left.

{{spoilers}}
[[File:Professor Oak Zensho.png|thumb|160px|Professor Oak in Pokémon Zensho]]
Professor Oak appears in [[Pokémon Zensho]] and has fulfilled the same role similar to the ones in other media. Professor Oak debuted in ''[[PZ01|Prologue: Pallet Town]]'', where he saved {{OBP|Satoshi|Zensho}} from a flock of {{p|Pidgey}} that were about to attack him. As thanks for Professor Oak's rescue of Satoshi, Satoshi went to his lab and chose Charmander as his first partner Pokémon, due to it saving him earlier. Shigeru, Satoshi's rival, chose Squirtle, which made Professor Oak keep {{p|Bulbasaur}}, as he would have been too lonely otherwise.

In ''[[PZ05|Celadon City]]'', it was revealed that Professor Oak is taking care of {{OBP|Shigeru|Zensho}} and [[Daisy Oak]] since their parents died in a car crash. He was last seen in ''[[PZ10|Indigo Plateau]]'', telling Satoshi and Shigeru about a {{p|Mewtwo|rare Pokémon}} that dwells in [[Cerulean Cave|a cave]].

==Other appearances==
===[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]===
Professor Oak appears as a random trophy wearing his regular clothing from the {{pkmn|animated series}}.

====Trophy information====
''The leading expert on the study of Pokémon. It seems there are always new and mysterious species of Pokémon being brought to light, and Professor Oak is at the heart of it all with his insightful research. The Pokédex is one of his inventions: new Trainers receive one, and a Pokémon to boot, when they start out.''

==Trivia==
* Professor Oak has appeared in the most [[generation]]s of any Pokémon Professor, appearing in Generation I and their Generation III and VII remakes as the regional professor and making cameo appearances in Generations II, IV, and the Generation IV remakes in Generation VIII.
** The [[Nintendo 3DS]] is the only Nintendo system in which none of the core series games released for it feature an appearance by Professor Oak.
* If the player speaks to Professor Oak in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} and has their Pokédex evaluated with at least 484 of the 493 Pokémon caught, he will say "Meeting you is something '''l''' will cherish all my life long.", using a lowercase L instead of an uppercase I.
* Professor Oak is the only person to give the player their Pokédex in more than one [[region]], doing so in both [[Kanto]] and [[Johto]].

Poké Ball

{{search|type of item|the item called Poké Ball|Poké Ball (item)}}
----
[[File:Poké Balls.png|thumb|250px|The 28 Poké Ball variants found in the [[core series]] (excluding those exclusive to Pokémon Legends: Arceus)]]
[[File:Poké Ball sketch.png|thumb|250px|Original concept]]
A '''Poké Ball''' (Japanese: '''モンスターボール''' ''Monster Ball'') is a type of [[item]] that is critical to a {{pkmn|Trainer}}'s quest, used for {{pkmn2|caught|catching}} and storing {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. Both a general term used to describe the various kinds as well as a specific term to refer to the most basic among these variations, Poké Balls are ubiquitous in the modern Pokémon world.

Up to six Pokémon can be carried with a {{pkmn|Trainer}} in Poké Balls, while more Poké Balls can be held in the [[Bag]] for later use. These six Pokémon in the Poké Balls can be attached to the user's belt for carrying them around. Some Pokémon do not like to be carried around in Poké Balls, such as [[Ash's Pikachu]].

Stylized Poké Balls are used in many places to symbolize Pokémon in general: the logos of the [[Battle Frontier]]s, the [[Pokémon Contest]]s, the [[Pokéathlon]], and the [[Pokémon Musical]] all feature a Poké Ball in their design, while several Poké Balls can be seen in every [[Pokémon Center]]. The headgear of the protagonists of [[Kanto]], [[Hoenn]], [[Sinnoh]], and [[Unova]]-based games feature Poké Ball designs, as do the [[Bag]]s of the protagonists of [[Johto]]-based games. {{ga|Ethan}}'s headgear is also similar to the top half of an Ultra Ball, and {{ga|Lucas}}'s Bag prominently features a Poké Ball.

==In the core series games==
The strength of a Poké Ball is determined by how much it raises a [[wild Pokémon]]'s [[catch rate]], and may in fact vary depending on the conditions of the battle. Poké Balls limit the power of Pokémon contained inside, taming them, though they do not cause the Pokémon inside to always obey the Trainer.

===History===
{{main|History of Poké Balls}}
[[File:Legends Arceus Poké Ball.png|thumb|150px|A Poké Ball used by those who explored the Hisui region]]
The invention of Poké Balls occurred in the [[Johto]] region, where [[Apricorn]]s grow; these fruits were cut apart and carved out, then fitted with a special device, and used to catch wild Pokémon. Some Trainers still use Poké Balls made from Apricorns, while [[Kurt]], a resident of [[Azalea Town]], still constructs them. [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]] shows that the first settlers of the [[Sinnoh]] region, back when it was known as the [[Hisui]] region, used pre-modern Poké Balls made of [[Tumblestone]] and Apricorns, with [[Professor Laventon]] claiming they were a more recent invention. According to [[Professor Elm]], before the invention of the Poké Ball, people would [[Walking Pokémon|walk with their Pokémon]].

In the games, in the [[Memory Link]] event {{DL|Memory Link|A New Light}}, [[Drayden]] claims that Poké Balls did not exist during his childhood.

Modern Poké Balls are not normally made from Apricorns, with the exception of specialist Poké Balls such as the [[Moon Ball]]. Modern Poké Balls are manufactured by [[Silph Co.]], the [[Devon Corporation]], and the Kalos [[Poké Ball Factory]].

===Mechanics and design===
Though the technology behind a Poké Ball remains unknown and has evolved through the centuries to accommodate the diverse requirements of their creators, the basic mechanics are simple enough to understand and tend to remain constant: in a [[Pokémon battle]], once an opposing wild Pokémon has been weakened, the Pokémon Trainer can throw a Poké Ball at it. When a Poké Ball hits the Pokémon, as long as it is not deflected, the Poké Ball will open, cause the Pokémon to shrink, store it inside, and close. A Pokémon in this state is given a chance to struggle to attempt to break free from the ball and escape, being instantly growing back in size. Should a Pokémon escape a Poké Ball, the device is destroyed in the games (unlike in the animated series). A Pokémon who does not escape the Ball will be {{pkmn2|caught}}. [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]] elaborates a bit on how the Pokémon are contained in a Poké Ball, with [[Professor Laventon]] explaining that Pokémon have the ability to reduce their size to miniscule, and Poké Balls take advantage of this to contain them.

Poké Balls are specifically constructed for Pokémon capture, transport, and training. As well as being physically difficult to escape from (as they seal tightly shut as soon as a Pokémon is taken into them) the environment of a Poké Ball is designed to be attractive to Pokémon also; according to Lucian of the [[Sinnoh]] [[Elite Four]], weakened Pokémon instinctively curl up tight in an attempt to heal themselves, an action that the environment of the Poké Ball encourages. Furthermore, while it is not known how caught Pokémon perceives their time inside their Ball, the device is said to replicate a "Pokémon-friendly" environment that is "designed for comfort". All of these factors strongly discourage Pokémon from escaping their Balls. In the manga, Bugsy refers to his "capture net" as being the net that is supposedly inside a Poké Ball, but visible and already deployed. According to Kurt, this invisible net captures and physically stores a Pokémon.

When a Trainer [[Dynamax]]es or [[Gigantamax]]es a Pokémon, the Poké Ball expands to the size of an {{wp|Ball (association football)|association football}}.

In some games, a [[Ball Capsule]] can be used in combination with [[Sticker]]s to create special effects when the Pokémon is sent out.

===Poké Ball accuracy===
:''See also: [[Catch rate]]''

In some scenarios, a Poké Ball can miss the wild Pokémon completely (in contrast to breaking if the Poké Ball does not successfully capture the Pokémon):
* In the [[Generation I]] games, it was possible for a ball to miss the Pokémon when the likelihood of catching the Pokémon in question was particularly low—rather than the ball throwing animation playing and the ball wiggling zero times, a message would come up stating "You missed the {{ScPkmn}}!".
* In the Generation I games and {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, the {{OBP|ghost|Pokémon Tower}}s in [[Lavender Town]]'s [[Pokémon Tower]] dodge any ball thrown at them before being unmasked by the [[Silph Scope]]. The [[Marowak (ghost)|Marowak ghost]] will dodge all Poké Balls even if it is unmasked.
* In {{LGPE}}, and in {{g|Legends: Arceus}} outside of battle, Poké Balls are thrown manually, and the player must aim properly to hit the Pokémon. Some Poké Balls, namely the {{hi|Heavy Ball}} and [[Feather Ball]] lines, have noticeably different throwing distances and trajectories compared to the standard variations.

In other scenarios, it is simply not possible to use Poké Balls in the first place:
* In the Generation I and II core series games, if both the player's party and their current [[Pokémon Storage System|Box]] are full, the player cannot throw a Poké Ball.
* In the [[core series]] games, in {{pkmn2|wild}} battles the player cannot throw a Poké Ball if there are multiple opponents—such as in wild [[Double Battle]]s, [[Horde Encounter]]s, or [[SOS Battle]]s—with the game claiming that it's impossible to aim.
** This is not the case in {{g|Legends: Arceus}}.
* From {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}} onward, it is not possible to throw a Poké Ball if the opposing Pokémon is in the [[semi-invulnerable turn]] of a move (such as {{m|Fly}} or {{m|Dig}}).
* Starting in [[Generation V]], in [[Double Battle|Double]] and [[Triple Battle]]s, it is not possible to issue a command to one Pokémon and then throw a Poké Ball as the second Pokémon's turn. However, it is still possible to throw a Poké Ball if one Pokémon is in the middle of a two-turn move.
* In {{2v2|Black|White|2}}, [[Ghetsis]] uses his cane to control a wild {{p|Kyurem}} and orders it to attack the {{player}}. The cane also emits signals that disrupt the use of empty Poké Balls, preventing Kyurem from being captured during the climax.
* In {{pkmn|Sun and Moon|Sun, Moon}}, {{pkmn|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon}}, the player is forbidden from throwing Poké Balls at wild Pokémon in a [[Island challenge|trial]] site until the trial has been cleared.
* In Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon, a signal that prevents the use of empty Poké Balls is broadcast throughout [[Aether Paradise]] to protect the Pokémon living there. This prevents the player from capturing the wild {{p|Nihilego}} that attacks them on their first visit to the facility.
* In Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon, the player cannot use a Poké Ball on a {{p|Necrozma}} that has {{form|Necrozma|fused}} with a {{p|Solgaleo}} or {{p|Lunala}}.
* In {{g|Sword and Shield}}, the player cannot catch a Pokémon whose level is above the limit the player's current [[Badge]]s can allow. Such Pokémon is described as "very strong-looking".
* In [[The Crown Tundra]] expansion, the player cannot catch {{p|Spectrier}} or {{p|Glastrier}} during the encounter with it in the village because "It won't let its guard down!"
* In {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}}, the player cannot catch the {{form|Giratina|Origin Forme}} {{p|Giratina}} encountered inside the Distortion Room in [[Ramanas Park]].
* In {{g|Legends: Arceus}}, the player cannot catch certain Pokémon, including [[noble Pokémon]] and {{p|Arceus}}.
* In {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}, the player cannot throw a Poké Ball at a wild {{Tera}} Pokémon until it is sufficiently weakened, breaking through its transformation.

In the Pokémon games so far, there have been 34 (38 if the Hisuian Poké Ball, Great Ball, Ultra Ball, and Heavy Ball are considered distinct from their modern-day counterparts) different varieties of Poké Balls, all differing from each other in some way, whether it be an increased ability to catch a Pokémon from the wild or an effect which occurs only after the Pokémon has been caught. From Generation III onward, each variety of Poké Ball has a unique animation when it sends out a Pokémon (and also when it catches one prior to Generation VI), and the type of Poké Ball used to catch the Pokémon is preserved on its [[summary]] screen.

Prior to Generation VI, all hatched Pokémon are in a standard Poké Ball. In [[Generation VI]], a [[Pokémon breeding|bred]] Pokémon will be in the same Poké Ball as its mother, unless its mother was in a Cherish Ball or Master Ball, in which case the Pokémon will be in a standard Poké Ball; Pokémon bred from a male or gender-unknown Pokémon and {{p|Ditto}} will hatch in a standard Poké Ball. Since [[Generation VII]], Pokémon bred from a male and a Ditto inherit the father's ball as well, and if two Pokémon of the same species in different balls are bred, the resulting offspring will be in either the mother's or father's ball. This also applies if the parents are different [[regional form]]s. Much like the Cherish Ball or Master Ball, the Strange Ball introduced in [[Generation VIII]] cannot be inherited and resulting offspring will be in standard Poké Balls.

Regardless of the type of Poké Ball, {{m|Fling}} will fail if the user is holding one.

Starting in [[Generation III]], each type of Poké Ball has an [[index number]] associated with it that is stored in the [[Pokémon data substructures (Generation III)#Origins|data structure]] of the Pokémon when {{pkmn2|caught}} or otherwise obtained with a given type of ball. [[Generation I]] and [[Generation II|II]] did not store this data, resulting in any Pokémon [[transfer]]red from [[Virtual Console]] via [[Poké Transporter]] being placed into standard Poké Balls. Pokémon caught in [[Park Ball]]s within [[Pal Park]] will retain their original Poké Ball and index number from Generation III. Pokémon from {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}} caught in a Johto-exclusive Poké Ball (such as a Poké Ball made by [[Kurt]] or a Sport Ball) will be displayed in a standard Poké Ball while visiting {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}. Pokémon originating from {{g|Legends: Arceus}} which are then transferred into another game (vice versa for those caught outside Legends: Arceus and then transferred in) will be displayed in [[Strange Ball]]s while visiting a game where the Pokémon's ball is not programmed into the game, but will still retain its original index number. Pokémon originating from Legends: Arceus visiting {{g|Sword and Shield}} will temporarily have their ball converted into a standard Poké Ball, with their original ball data being stored in [[Pokémon HOME]]'s server.

Every Poké Ball (except the Beast Ball and Master Ball) has a 0.1× catch rate modifier when attempting to catch an [[Ultra Beast]].

| In [[Pokémon Crystal Version|Pokémon Crystal]] only, there is a glitch that causes the retrieved weights of Pokémon whose index numbers are divisible by 64 ({{p|Kadabra}}, {{p|Tauros}}, and {{p|Sunflora}}) to become junk data that are, in turn, interpreted as massive weights, causing these particular Pokémon to receive the +40 capture modifier. In {{g|Sun and Moon}} only, a Heavy Ball will always fail to catch a Pokémon whose weight is less than 220.46 lbs (100.0 kg) and whose catch rate is less than or equal to 20. This is because the game will set the catch rate to 0 when the catch rate becomes negative due to the -20 modifier that is applied.

===Other variants===
{{incomplete|section|Add image of the blue Poké Ball from the Poké Transfer}}
* In [[Pokémon Red and Blue Versions|Pokémon Red, Blue]], [[Pokémon Yellow Version|Yellow]], [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions|FireRed, and LeafGreen]], [[Professor Oak]] mentions that his [[Parcel]] contains a custom Poké Ball. However, this is not said in [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]].
* The [[GS Ball]] is an event item that appears only in {{game|Crystal}}, where it was part of a giveaway on the [[Mobile System GB]] for Japanese games, similar to [[event item]]s given out via [[Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection]] and [[Nintendo Network]] from [[Generation IV]] onward. It was not used to catch any Pokémon and was placed in the [[Key Item]]s pocket. If given to [[Kurt]] for inspection, it will activate an event where the player can catch a {{p|Celebi}} in [[Ilex Forest]].
* When transferring Pokémon via [[Poké Transfer]], a blue Poké Ball is used to catch the Pokémon in the minigame. They are shot using a bow.
* In the [[Timegate Traveler Series]] featured in [[Pokéstar Studios]], the future is ruled by {{type|Bug}} Pokémon that capture wild humans in Human Balls (Japanese: '''ヒューマンボール''' ''Human Ball'') instead of the other way around. They have no visual difference to Poké Balls.
* In {{g|Sword and Shield}}, the [[Dynamax Band]] allows Trainers to increase the size of Poké Balls, making them look like giant [[Premier Ball]]s.
** When a Pokémon is [[Dynamax]]ed (including [[Gigantamax]]ing) with a Dynamax Band, the Trainer returns their active Pokémon to its Poké Ball, then turns the Poké Ball into a giant Poké Ball. This giant Poké Ball is then thrown, sending out the Dynamax Pokémon.
** In [[Max Raid Battle]]s and [[Dynamax Adventure]]s, when the {{pkmn2|wild}} Dynamax Pokémon is defeated, the Trainer turns an empty Poké Ball into a giant Poké Ball, then throws it at the wild Dynamax Pokémon in an attempt to catch it.

===Palette limitations===
In the games, certain Poké Balls appear off-color due to palette limitations. They are most likely intended to be standard Poké Balls rather than variations.

* In [[Generation I]], during a [[Pokémon battle]], the multiple kinds of Poké Ball have different throwing animations but otherwise look the same. They all appear with a black top and white bottom. This black and white design is clearly seen when the Poké Ball is shaking in an attempt to catch the wild Pokémon.
** In [[Generation II]], all kinds of Poké Ball look the same when used in-battle except they have different color palettes. Unlike in the previous generation, all Poké Balls use the same throwing animation.
** In both Generations I and II, the Poké Ball changes color once the wild Pokémon is successfully caught, shortly appearing with the color palette of the caught Pokémon. For instance, no matter what kind of Poké Ball, it appears to be green once a green Pokémon is caught, or pink once a pink Pokémon is caught.
* In Generation I, the [[trade]] animation invariably displays both Pokémon using the Poké Ball design with the black top and white bottom, the same design seen in Pokémon battles.
** In Generation II, the trade animation uses a red color palette for both traded Pokémon, specifically a darker red at the top and a lighter red at the bottom.
* In the Generations from I to {{gen|III}}, several Trainer sprites have off-color Poké Balls. They often reuse the same colors seen elsewhere in the sprites such as the character's hair or clothes.

===Item balls===

[[File:Itemball.png|thumb|220px|{{ga|Red}} finding an item ball on {{rt|2|Kanto}}]]

Items contained in Poké Balls have been present from the very first games, with many items that are found on the field being found in Poké Balls in conspicuous locations. These items are sometimes important, and usually will be among the required items for pickup along the way. Sometimes, even Poké Ball variants can be found in item balls, though it may be that the item ball itself is supposed to represent the item that is found (whenever or not it's a Poké Ball). Many other items, however, are hidden, and are not in item balls, instead being directly on the field, and can be found more easily using an Itemfinder or [[Dowsing Machine]].

{{p|Voltorb}}, {{p|Electrode}}, {{p|Foongus}}, {{p|Amoonguss}}, and {{rf|Galarian}} {{p|Stunfisk}} appear as item balls in the overworld, but attack when interacted with (or if at close range for Galarian Stunfisk), except the Foongus in [[Accumula Town]]. In {{LGPE}}, fake item balls appear upside down.

===Game icons===
Poké Balls are often featured in the icons for Pokémon games, which are used on the home screens for the [[Nintendo DS]], [[Nintendo 3DS|3DS]], and [[Nintendo Switch|Switch]].

==In the side series games==
[[File:Snag Ball.png|thumb|250px|[[Wes]] about to throw a [[Great Ball]] turned into a Snag Ball]]
===Pokémon Colosseum and XD: Gale of Darkness===
In {{g|Colosseum}} and {{g|XD: Gale of Darkness}}, a [[Snag Ball]] is not a single, separate type of Poké Ball, but rather any type of existing Poké Ball that has been "unlocked" by the Snag Machine, allowing it to [[snagging|snag]] an already-[[caught Pokémon]] during a {{pkmn|battle}}. While it is ''able'' to be used on any Pokémon, [[Rui]] will only allow [[Wes]] to use it on [[Shadow Pokémon]], while [[Michael]]'s Aura Reader will render the Snag Machine inoperable when a Pokémon other than a Shadow Pokémon is targeted.

It is possible to snag a [[Shadow Pokémon]] even if there are two on the opposing side of the field, unlike catching Pokémon in the core series games.
{{-}}

==In the spin-off games==
===Pokémon GO===
Players do not battle wild Pokémon in [[Pokémon GO]], and using Poké Balls is a matter of the player's aim. To throw one, the player must press their finger on the Poké Ball, move it, and release it. The Ball and Pokémon exist in a 3D environment, so the player may miss the Pokémon by throwing the Ball the wrong distance or too far to the side. Additionally, the wild Pokémon may attempt to dodge or attack every few seconds. When a Pokémon is attacking, any Poké Balls that hit it will be deflected. When a Pokémon dodges, it will move around but can still be hit by a thrown Ball.

:''See more: [[Caught Pokémon#Pokémon GO|Caught Pokémon → Pokémon GO]]

On the aiming screen, a colored circle displays over the Pokémon, gradually shrinks to nothing, then resets to its widest before continuing to shrink again. If the player's throw lands inside this circle, they will get a "Nice!", "Great!", or "Excellent!" catch chance bonus depending on how small the circle was. The player can also improve their catch chance by throwing a curveball. If the player spins the Ball while holding it, it will temporarily retain the spin and curve left or right when thrown.

:''See more: [[Catch rate (GO)]]

Three types of Poké Balls were available in Pokémon GO upon release: regular Poké Balls, Great Balls, and Ultra Balls. These remain the only types of Poké Balls that are generally available. They can be repeatably obtained by:
* Spinning [[PokéStop]]s or {{OBP|Gym|GO}}s (Lv. 12+ for Great Balls and Lv. 20+ for Ultra Balls)
* Opening a [[Gift]] (Lv. 12+ for Great Balls and Lv. 20+ for Ultra Balls)
* Completing certain [[Field Research]] or [[Special Research]] tasks
* Weekly [[Adventure Sync]] rewards

The player also receives Poké Balls upon [[Trainer level|leveling up]].
* Poké Balls awarded up to level 11 (including 50 Poké Balls starting at level 1)
* Great Balls awarded from level 12 to level 19
* Ultra Balls awarded starting level 20

Regular Poké Balls may be purchased in the Shop at the following rates:
* 20 for {{PCoin}}100
* 100 for {{PCoin}}460
* 200 for {{PCoin}}800

All three types of balls have also been available in limited-time Box deals.

Premier Balls debuted in Pokémon GO on June 20, 2017,{{fact}} a few days after its first anniversary with the introduction of {{OBP|Raid Battle|GO}}s. They can only be used for catching Raid Bosses and {{OBP|Shadow Pokémon|GO}}, and other types of Poké Balls cannot be used on them. If the player runs out, the Raid Boss or Shadow Pokémon will flee. The number of Premier Balls are awarded to the player after a Raid Battle or [[Team GO Rocket]] battle is based on how well they battled. Unused Premier Balls are not retained and do not roll over to future challenges. Like in the main series, Premier Balls are just as effective as regular Poké Balls.

Beast Balls debuted in Pokémon GO on July 1, 2022 at Pokémon GO Fest 2022 Berlin.{{fact}} They can only be used for catching [[Ultra Beast]]s, and other types of Poké Balls cannot be used on them. Currently, an unlimited number of Beast Balls are provided to the player during an Ultra Beast encounter.

Master Balls have existed in Pokémon GO's coding since release, but they didn't debut until May 22, 2023, as a reward from the Let's GO! [[Special Research]]. Future opportunities to get Master Balls are planned.<ref>[https://pokemongolive.com/post/masterball/ Never miss with the Master Ball—coming soon to Pokémon GO!]</ref>

GO Safari Balls will debut in Pokémon GO on November 16, 2024 at Pokémon GO Wild Area. The GO Safari Ball will be made available in Pokémon GO during the [[List of events in Pokémon GO|GO Wild Area event]]. They have a higher catch rate. When this event is active, players will receive GO Safari Balls from Timed Research and can use them in wild encounters.<ref>[https://pokemongolive.com/gowildarea/tickets Tickets – Pokémon GO]</ref> All unused GO Safari Balls expire and disappear from the player's [[Bag]] at the end of each day of the event.<ref>[https://pokemongolive.com/gowildarea/gameplay Event Gameplay – Pokémon GO]</ref><ref>[https://pokemongolive.com/gowildarea/global Pokémon GO Wild Area: Global]</ref> Pokémon caught in GO Safari Balls are unable to be sent to Pokémon HOME via the [[GO Transporter]].

===Pokémon Snap===
[[File:Pester Ball.png|thumb|A Pester Ball]]
In {{g|Snap}}, the [[Pester Ball]]s appear similar to Poké Balls at a glance. However, they are not used to catch Pokémon, and instead will release a Pokémon repellent on contact.

===Pokémon UNITE===
[[File:UNITEPokeBall.PNG|thumb|left|250px|A Unite Ball catching a Pokémon]]
In {{g|UNITE}}, Trainers use regular Poké Balls to send out their own Pokémon, after they have been [[fainting|knocked out]] in battle. (At the start of a Unite Battle, all Pokémon are present on the field.) During the game's tutorial, a {{UNITE|Pikachu}} from the [[Aeos Research Institute]] is sent out from a Poké Ball twice. This happens before Tutorial (Basics 1) and Tutorial (Basics 2).

A unique variety of Poké Ball, the '''Unite Ball''', is used as part of Unite Battles. (They are also known as '''Aeos Balls''') Unite Balls are orange, purple, and yellow in colour, with a yellow stripe around in the middle and a white button. The pattern gives the Unite Ball a "U" design. Each Trainer has a Unite Ball, and uses it to [[Caught Pokémon|catch]] the [[wild Pokémon]] their Pokémon [[fainting|knocks out]] in Unite Battles. After doing so, the Unite Ball stores the [[Aeos energy]] the Pokémon held. The stored energy is used by Pokémon to score at [[goal zone]]s. At the start of an Unite Battle, the player's Unite Ball only holds a maximum of 30 Aeos energy. After their Pokémon reaches [[Level]] 9, the capacity increases to 40. At level 12, the capacity is boosted again to 50. Trainers only have one Unite Ball canonically, and the interface only depicts a single Unite Ball. Regardless, Trainers throw a Unite Ball for every wild Pokémon defeated even if more than one is defeated at the same time.

In [[Mer Stadium|Mer Stadium's Catch 'Em]] battles, certain wild Pokémon have a white glow around them. When these Pokémon are defeated and captured, the player can send them out from their Unite Ball to temporarily take the place of their selected Pokémon. This function replaces the Trainer's {{DL|Pokémon UNITE|Battle Items}}. Additionally, after enough time has passed, the Battle Item will return to normal and that Pokémon will not be able to be switched into battle. If the captured Pokémon is sent out, a timer is set. When that timer elapses or the Pokémon faints, the Trainer's original Pokémon is sent back into battle from its Poké Ball. Defeating a Wild Pokémon while currently using a [[Caught Pokémon]] does not allow the player to switch to the defeated Wild Pokémon.

In [[Panic Parade]], certain wild Pokémon have a white glow around them and a Aeos Ball icon over their heads. When these Pokémon are defeated and captured, the player can send them out from their Unite Ball. This function replaces the Trainer's {{DL|Pokémon UNITE|Battle Items|Battle Item}}, and after using the Battle Item will return to normal. (Although "normal" in Panic Parade means no Battle Item at all.) If another item is picked up or another capturable Pokémon is captured, the first Pokémon is lost. The sent out Pokémon wanders to the nearest opposing Pokémon, uses their [[Unite Move]], then is recalled and leaves the battle.

Unite Balls (mislabeled Poké Balls) are used as part of the Prize Machine menu. By throwing Unite Balls at one of the items on display, the prize gauge for that item is increased. When the prize gauge of an item is full, the item is obtained. A single Unite Ball has a 66% chance to add 1 unit to the prize gauge, a 30% chance to add 2 units to the prize gauge, a 3.3% chance to add 3 units, a 0.6% chance to add 5 units, and a 0.1% chance to add 10 units. Players have two Unite Balls to use in this menu. After using a Unite Ball, players must wait 12 hours before it can be used again. Players can spend {{DL|Pokémon UNITE|Aeos gems}} to hasten this timer. Some events provide additional Unite Balls in the Prize Machine menu, under the umbrella name '''No-cost Holiday Balls'''. When available, only 10 of these Poké Balls can be obtained per day, and they are lost if they are not used before the next day begins. Usually there is a cap on the number of No-cost Holiday Balls obtainable per event, with that cap usually being 100. Sometimes, these additional Unite Balls have alternate names, such as '''Holiday Balls''' or '''Anniversary Balls'''. (Oddly, the menu's text states that "Poké Balls always hit their target..." in this mode, even though Unite Balls have never been shown to miss in any media.)

===Pokémon Pinball series===
{{main|Ball Upgrade}}
In [[Pokémon Pinball]] and [[Pokémon Pinball: Ruby & Sapphire]], the {{i|Poké Ball}}, [[Great Ball]], [[Ultra Ball]], and [[Master Ball]] are available.

The Poké Ball is the normal ball used in the pinball tables since the beginning of the game. In both games, if the player lights up the three Field Multiplier Lanes found in all tables, the ball is upgraded to the next kind of Poké Ball (a Poké Ball is upgraded into a Great Ball, a Great Ball into an Ultra Ball, and an Ultra Ball into a Master Ball). If a minute passes without new Poké Ball upgrades, the ball returns to the previous state. If the player loses a ball, the next ball is a Poké Ball.

The bonus points are as follows:
* The {{i|Poké Ball}} has no bonus multiplier.
* The [[Great Ball]] multiplies bonus points by ×2.
* The [[Ultra Ball]] multiplies bonus points by ×3.
* The [[Master Ball]] multiplies bonus points by ×4 in [[Pokémon Pinball]] and by ×5 in [[Pokémon Pinball: Ruby & Sapphire]].

===Super Smash Bros. series===
[[File:Poké Ball SSBB.png|thumb|220px|Render of a Poké Ball from [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]]]
{{smashWiki|Poké Ball}}
In the {{sbw|Super Smash Bros. series}}, Poké Balls appear as items, which fighters can pick up and throw to release a random Pokémon. These Pokémon will typically attack the opponents of the player who summoned them, but may also have other effects. Starting in ''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U'', the Master Ball also appears as an item, which has the same effect as Poké Balls but can only summon {{pkmn2|Legendary}} or [[Mythical Pokémon]] (or {{p|Goldeen}}).

The Pokémon that can appear from Poké Balls differ between the games. The {{DL|Super Smash Bros.|Poké Ball Pokémon}} in [[Super Smash Bros.]] all come from [[Generation I]], the {{DL|Super Smash Bros. Melee|Poké Ball Pokémon}} in [[Super Smash Bros. Melee]] come from up to [[Generation II]], the {{DL|Super Smash Bros. Brawl|Poké Ball Pokémon}} in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]] come from up to [[Generation IV]], the {{DL|Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U|Poké Ball and Master Ball Pokémon|Poké Ball Pokémon}} in [[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U]] come from up to [[Generation VI]], and the {{DL|Super Smash Bros. Ultimate|Poké Ball and Master Ball Pokémon|Poké Ball Pokémon}} in [[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]] come from up to [[Generation VII]]. The only Pokémon that have appeared in all of the Super Smash Bros. games as Poké Ball Pokémon are {{p|Goldeen}}, {{p|Snorlax}}, and {{p|Mew}}.

[[File:Anime Poke Ball Mechanics.jpg|thumb|220px|Concept art of a Poké Ball for {{aniseries|OS}}]]
In {{aniseries|PTS}}, Poké Balls are not always at full size. Pressing the button on the front will convert it between its full size, about the size of a {{wp|Baseball (object)|baseball}}, to a smaller size, about that of a {{wp|Table tennis#Ball|ping-pong ball}}, and back again. The larger size makes throwing the ball easier, while the smaller one makes for easier storage on a belt clip, in pockets, and in Bags.

When a Pokémon is sent out from a Poké Ball, it will be accompanied by a distinctive sound effect and a bright light as it returns from its energy form and materializes nearby, often on the ground. This bright light has been shown to vary depending on the type of Ball in which the Pokémon is contained in the games, while it has always been shown to be white in ''Pokémon the Series''. Pokémon are recalled to their Poké Ball by holding up the Poké Ball with its button pointed at the Pokémon. A beam of red, white, or blue light will shoot from the button, converting the Pokémon back into energy and returning it to the Ball. The beam, however, has a limited range and can be dodged by the Pokémon. If the beam hits a person, they will be stunned for a moment, but aside from that, no ill effects will make themselves apparent.

[[Released Pokémon|Releasing]] a Pokémon from a Trainer's ownership, unlike normally sending the Pokémon out, will bathe the Pokémon in a blue glow, and the Poké Ball will no longer mark it, making it able to be caught by another Trainer's Poké Ball.

A Poké Ball can also be broken, which will release it from ownership, as seen when Jessie releases her Dustox in ''[[DP073|Crossing Paths]]''. If a Trainer has done so accidentally, it must somehow be fixed before the Pokémon can be recalled. This was seen in ''[[EP107|Pokémon Food Fight!]]'', where Ash becomes unable to recall Snorlax after its Poké Ball is broken. In the manga, if a Poké Ball is broken before a Pokémon is sent out, then that particular Pokémon cannot be used until their Poké Ball has been repaired. This happened several times in the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga, such as during {{adv|Red}}'s battle against {{adv|Giovanni}}, where the opening mechanism for the Poké Balls of Red's [[Saur|Venusaur]] and [[Gyara]]dos were damaged, preventing either of them from being used in the match.

In ''[[EP232|Just Waiting On A Friend]]'', an old Poké Ball was shown to bind the Pokémon caught with it, a {{p|Ninetales}}, to staying close to it, making it unable to leave its home until the Poké Ball was broken. This seems to be a quality unique to this particular Poké Ball, as later series have featured Pokémon venturing a long distance away from their Poké Balls, such as [[Goh's Suicune]], which was able to remain as a [[roaming Pokémon]] despite not leaving [[Goh]]'s ownership.

[[File:Iris Dragonite inside Poké Ball.png|thumb|left|250px|[[Iris's Dragonite]] inside a Poké Ball in {{aniseries|BW}}]]
Pokémon appear to be conscious while inside Poké Balls. Several Pokémon have shown the ability to leave and return to their Poké Balls at will, most notably among them [[Jessie's Wobbuffet]], [[Misty's Psyduck]], [[Ash's Oshawott]], [[Brock's Croagunk]], and [[Clemont's Chespin]], who tend to do so in every episode that they appear in. In ''[[EP031|Dig Those Diglett!]]'', many Pokémon belonging to [[Gary Oak]], as well as other Trainers, including Ash Ketchum, demonstrated the ability to prevent themselves from being sent from their Poké Balls, as they refused to fight against the Diglett, though this has not been demonstrated since. Pokémon have also been shown to be able to hear orders given by their Trainer right before they are sent out.

Pokémon can even make their Poké Ball jump and roll around at high speeds, while also being able to navigate, as seen in {{LGPE}}, when the {{OBP|partner Pokémon|Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!}} moves its Poké Ball onto an empty pedestal in [[Professor Oak's Laboratory]] after being caught in [[Pallet Town]].

[[File:Ash Pikachu failed catch.png|thumb|220px|A Poké Ball failing to catch an already owned Pokémon]]
Poké Balls are able to communicate with a Trainer's [[Pokédex]], as the system updates itself with information on newly caught Pokémon, and keeps track of how many Pokémon the Trainer has with them. If a Trainer catches a new Pokémon with the full six already with them, the Pokédex will automatically send the newly caught Pokémon in its Poké Ball to the [[Pokémon Storage System]] that the Trainer is using. As shown in ''[[DP002|Two Degrees of Separation!]]'', a Pokémon caught by a Poké Ball is "marked" by it, and thus most Poké Balls thrown at it will have no effect aside from temporarily stunning it. In the games, as well as in ''[[EP073|Bad to the Bone]]'', however, the Trainer of the Pokémon will block a Poké Ball thrown by another, though it is possible that this is more out of courtesy to their Pokémon than to prevent capture outright. In ''[[EP011|Charmander – The Stray Pokémon]]'', Ash was able to catch his {{AP|Charmander}} in a Poké Ball despite his previous ownership by [[Damian|another Trainer]], though he may have lost his "mark" when he abandoned his previous Trainer by refusing to return to his old Poké Ball. Earlier in the same episode, Ash failed to catch the same Charmander while he still held his loyalty, despite his weakened state.

[[File:Rice Ball Poké Ball.png|thumb|left|220px|Ash catching a [[rice ball]] thrown by a wild {{AP|Mankey|Primeape}}]]
Other wireless capabilities of Poké Balls are shown in ''[[M07|Destiny Deoxys]]'', as when the electricity of the city is down, {{OBP|Rebecca|M07}} claims that the "Poké Ball Management System" was no longer working without power. A similar mechanism is suggested to exist in the games, with the Paradise Protection Protocol issuing a lock signal that disables the use of any Poké Balls that do not have a specific ID.

Poké Balls are able to be decorated to no ill effect, with several Poké Balls that have been painted with special colors being seen in the ''Pokémon the Series''.

Should a Pokémon escape a Poké Ball, the device will return to the Trainer, who can attempt once again to catch the Pokémon.

It has sometimes been shown that [[item]]s can be contained in Poké Balls, apparently able to be captured in much the same way as a Pokémon. ''Pokémon the Series'' has used this as a gag on several occasions, most notably in ''[[EP025|Primeape Goes Bananas]]'', where {{Ash}} accidentally catches a [[rice ball]] when he throws a Poké Ball in an attempt to catch a wild Mankey.

====Types of Poké Balls====
[[File:Poké Ball anime.png|thumb|left|250px|A regular Poké Ball in {{aniseries|PTS}}]]
[[File:Ashball.png|thumb|250px|{{Ash}} pulling out a Poké Ball, preparing to catch a Pokémon]]
In {{aniseries|PTS}}, the basic Poké Ball is the most commonly used of all varieties, with other varieties appearing either very few times or not at all. A vast majority of Pokémon are shown to be stored in regular Poké Balls, to the point that large collections of Poké Balls can be seen with no variation among them. Even [[Ash's Pikachu]], the most prominent Pokémon in the series, which spends all its time [[walking Pokémon|outside with Ash]], has a plain Poké Ball that differs from others only by the small yellow lightning bolt symbol on it, as seen in ''[[EP001|Pokémon - I Choose You!]]''.

Despite this, the various other types of Poké Ball have been seen in ''Pokémon the Series'', usually to illustrate a special property about that particular ball. The lack of the different types is unsurprising, however, due to the fact that, when the animated series was first created, the games themselves did not even keep track of the Poké Ball that a Pokémon was caught in, and thus, it made no difference in sending a Pokémon out. This has recently become less common as of {{aniseries|SM}}, possibly to reflect the fact that NPC Trainers in [[Generation VII]] have certain types of Poké Balls associated with them.

The first time that a Poké Ball aside from the normal variation was seen was in [[EP035]], where Ash was given 30 Safari Balls in order to compete in the Safari Game. With these 30 Safari Balls, Ash attempted to catch various rare Pokémon; however, he only managed to capture an entire herd of {{AP|Tauros}}. They appeared in Safari Balls in ''[[EP065|Showdown at the Po-Ké Corral]]''; however, whenever Ash uses one of his Tauros in a battle, it is sent out from a standard Poké Ball.

The [[GS Ball]] was the second of the variant Poké Balls to appear in ''Pokémon the Series'', first appearing in ''[[EP083|Poké Ball Peril]]'', this time with a special purpose. This mysterious ball was unable to be opened by [[Professor Ivy]], and served as the reason for Ash's journeys to the [[Orange Islands]] (to pick it up) and [[Johto]] (to deliver it to [[Kurt]]), so that what was contained within it could be discovered. {{p|Celebi}} was long rumored to be related to the ball, something which the [[Pokémon Adventures]] and game canons verify, while [[Masamitsu Hidaka|a director of the animated series]] confirmed that, had it not been insisted that {{OBP|Celebi|M04}} appear in a central role in [[M04|the fourth movie]], the GS Ball arc would have concluded with Celebi being released from the ball and traveling with Ash and his friends.

Also related to Kurt, as in the games, the first non-standard Poké Ball variants, the [[Apricorn]] balls, made an appearance in ''Pokémon the Series'', and several were given to the members of the main cast. All three members of the main cast received a Fast Ball each in ''[[EP143|Going Apricorn!]]'', with {{an|Brock}} using his to catch a {{TP|Brock|Pineco}} shortly after receiving it. Many other Apricorn Poké Balls also appeared in a fantasy in this episode. In the [[EP144|next episode]], Brock received a Heavy Ball, while Ash and {{an|Misty}} received a Lure Ball each. While Brock's Heavy Ball and Ash and Misty's Fast Balls would remain unused (and have not been mentioned since), both Ash and Misty would use their Lure Balls to capture a {{AP|Totodile}} and {{TP|Misty|Corsola}}, respectively. Another Heavy Ball appeared in ''[[AG065|Gulpin It Down]]'', where it was used to capture a {{pkmn2|giant}} {{p|Gulpin}}, though this was not the one belonging to Brock. In ''[[EP183|Trouble's Brewing]]'', the {{DL|Kimono Girl|In animation|Kimono Sisters}} (excluding [[Sakura]]) were shown keeping their [[Eeveelution]]s inside Apricorn Poké Balls, with Satsuki's {{p|Jolteon}}'s ball being a Moon Ball, Sumomo's {{p|Vaporeon}}'s ball being a Lure Ball, and Tamao's {{p|Umbreon}}'s ball being a Fast Ball. While Koume's {{p|Flareon}}'s ball wasn't shown, her kimono pattern indicates it being a Love Ball.

[[File:Ash Poké Ball.png|thumb|250px|Ash calling out a Pokémon]]
The Master Ball itself has only appeared once as an actual Poké Ball, in ''[[AG075|Whiscash and Ash]]'', where it was used by [[Sullivan]] in a last resort attempt to catch a wild {{p|Whiscash}} called "[[Nero]]". Despite the fact that a Master Ball cannot be escaped from, the Whiscash ''swallowed'' the Master Ball, thus preventing capture, and disappeared back into the water. While not a Poké Ball itself, Misty owns a beach ball that is designed like the Master Ball, which can be seen in ''[[EP018|Beauty and the Beach]]'' and ''[[EP167|A Hot Water Battle]]''.

The Generation III specialty balls have mostly been seen in cameos. The Repeat Ball and Luxury Ball appeared in the opening of ''[[M06|Jirachi: Wish Maker]]''. These balls contained {{ga|Brendan}}'s {{p|Shiftry}} and {{p|Aggron}}, respectively.

The debut of most of the specialty balls, both from Generation III and IV, came in the ending [[Which One ~ Is It?]], which contained the first appearance of the Great Ball and Ultra Ball, as well as the first animated series appearance of the Premier, Heal, Net, Dusk, Nest, Quick, Timer, and Dive Balls.

The first proper appearance of the Great, Ultra, Net, Nest, Dusk, Dive, Repeat, Premier, and Heal Balls was in ''[[XY079|A Frenzied Factory Fiasco!]]'', where these balls were seen being manufactured at the [[Poké Ball Factory]], in addition to normal Poké Balls, Luxury Balls, and Safari Balls, although the last ones were not shown. Although [[James]] did mention a Quick Ball in the Japanese version, one was never shown in the episode (a fact that was picked up by the [[dub]], which removed the Quick Ball reference). {{TRT}} tried to steal many of these Poké Balls, but were foiled by Ash and his friends.

[[File:Dawn Poké Ball.png|thumb|left|250px|{{an|Dawn}}'s Poké Balls with Ball Capsules and Seals]]
It was revealed in ''[[SM004|First Catch in Alola, Ketchum-Style!]]'' that James had been collecting Poké Balls. When Jessie's attempts to catch a {{TP|Jessie|Mimikyu}} with typical Poké Balls had failed, she grabbed the Luxury Ball James had been polishing and used it instead, capturing Mimikyu, much to James's dismay. The rest of James's collection appeared in ''[[SM062|Acting True to Form!]]'', where it was revealed to also contain a Great, Ultra, Premier, Dusk, Heal, and Quick Ball, marking the first animated series appearance of a Quick Ball. The collection reappeared in ''[[JN026|Splash, Dash, and Smash for the Crown!]]'', where it now consisted of a Premier, Dive, Nest, Quick, Heal, and Dusk Ball.

{{an|Gladion}} keeps all of his known Pokémon in special Poké Balls. His {{TP|Gladion|Lycanroc}} is kept in an Ultra Ball (as first seen in ''[[SM027|A Glaring Rivalry!]]''), his {{TP|Gladion|Silvally}} is kept in a Premier Ball (as first seen in ''[[SM037|Rising from the Ruins!]]''), his {{TP|Gladion|Umbreon}} is kept in a Heal Ball (as first seen in ''[[SM053|Rescuing the Unwilling!]]''), his {{TP|Gladion|Zoroark}} is kept in a Dusk Ball (as first seen in the [[Poké Problem]] extra scene of [[SM127]]), and his {{DL|Ultra Beasts (anime)|Lillie|Nihilego}} is kept in a Beast Ball (as first seen in ''[[JN111|The Homecoming Crown!]]'').

[[File:James Poké Ball collection.png|thumb|250px|James's Poké Ball collection]]
Beast Balls debuted in ''[[SM061|A Mission of Ultra Urgency!]]'', in which the [[Aether Foundation]] provided multiple of them for Ash and {{ashcl}} to use during their missions as [[Ultra Guardians]]. Since then, Beast Balls have appeared in {{cat|Ultra Guardians episodes|a number of episodes}}. Most of the time they are only used to temporarily hold {{an|Ultra Beasts}} until they are released back into [[Ultra Space]]. The only Ultra Beasts that have been kept in a Beast Ball for longer than one episode are [[Ash's Naganadel]] and Gladion's {{p|Nihilego}}.

In ''[[JN045|Sword and Shield... The Legends Awaken!]]'', {{an|Leon}} used an Ultra Ball in an attempt to catch {{TP|Goh|Eternatus}}, only for Eternatus to break out.
[[File:Sealed Poké Ball anime.png|thumb|250px|left|A sealed Poké Ball]]
Many other Poké Balls have been shown in ''Pokémon the Series''; however, most of these are cosmetic alterations alone, such as Poké Balls with gold plating, diamond studded Poké Balls, and Poké Balls with stickers or special designs on them, usually to denote an organization. [[Ball Capsule]]s and [[Seal]]s can also be used to customize a Poké Ball's appearance, and they add special effects when the Pokémon is sent out. In the series, they are mostly used by {{pkmn|Coordinator}}s during [[Pokémon Contest]]s to create a showy entrance and ensure that the Pokémon will make a good impression right out of the Poké Ball.

Notably, a broken Poké Ball, snapped in half at its rusted hinges, was kept by both Ash and {{Gary}}, symbolizing their rivalry. After Ash defeated Gary during the [[Silver Conference]], Gary gave his half of the Ball to Ash as a sign of ending their rivalry.

In ''[[EP013|Mystery at the Lighthouse]]'', it was shown that if a Trainer catches a Pokémon while they already have six on hand, it is automatically sent to the regional {{pkmn|Professor}}. ''[[BW018|Sewaddle and Burgh in Pinwheel Forest]]'' shows a major difference in what happens after a Pokémon is captured. Instead of being automatically sent to the regional Professor, the Poké Ball is sealed and the button becomes red. The Pokémon is kept inactive until it is switched out by another actively in the Trainer's party.

=====Other variants=====
* A green Poké Ball appeared in ''[[EP001|Pokémon - I Choose You!]]''. Interestingly, the cover of the book {{OBP|Grass Pokédex|book}} greatly resembles this Poké Ball, and is labeled as a Safari Ball.
** In addition to this, the artwork of {{ga|Brendan}}, in {{2v2|Ruby|Sapphire}}, features Brendan holding a green Poké Ball.
* Several objects were used to contain and control Pokémon before Poké Balls themselves were developed. Large monumental objects have been shown several times in episodes to be containers for large ancient Pokémon, as seen most notably in ''[[EP072|The Ancient Puzzle of Pokémopolis]]''. Smaller objects have also been used, such as the staff belonging to [[Sir Aaron]], which contained his partner, {{OBP|Lucario|M08}}, until {{Ash}} released it in the current era. Special armor developed by [[Marcus]] was used to control Pokémon in ancient [[Michina Town]], though it did not directly ''contain'' the Pokémon; unlike other methods of using Pokémon, these Pokémon were enslaved, instead of befriended, and they turned against him the moment the armor was broken.
* {{OBP|Mewtwo|M01}} had a collection of strange Poké Balls known as (Japanese: '''ミュウツーボール''' ''Mewtwo Balls'') in ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'', which incorporated an eye into their design, and were used primarily to capture Pokémon to be cloned. These balls had no trouble catching Pokémon which were already captured—even if they were already inside of Poké Balls.
* In ''[[M03|Spell of the Unown: Entei]]'', [[Molly Hale]], whose imagination caused the power of the {{OBP|Unown|M03}} to change the world around them, was able to use strange, crystalline Poké Balls when she challenged {{an|Brock}} and {{an|Misty}}. The Pokémon sent from these appeared normally, but dissolved into crystal, rather than being recalled. These crystal Poké Balls only appeared when used by her imagined older selves, and do not appear to actually exist.
* A special variant of Poké Ball, the Lake Ball, was used during the [[Seaking Catching Competition]] in ''[[EP168|Hook, Line, and Stinker]]''; this is viewed by many to be similar to the Sport Ball used in the [[Bug-Catching Contest]]. They appear as blue and white Poké Balls, with a fish pattern around the edge, and a yellow arrow on the top and bottom of the ball. They don't shake after capture, implying an automatic catch.
* In ''[[EP248|One Trick Phony!]]'', specially marked Poké Balls appeared at the {{jo|Battle Park}}, containing the Park's [[rental Pokémon]]. They looked almost exactly like standard Poké Balls, except that they had the Park's stylized "BP" logo on the top.
* Older Poké Balls have also appeared in ''Pokémon the Series'', specifically the one carried by [[Sam]] in ''[[M04|Celebi: The Voice of the Forest]]'', which was colored differently, and it had a knob that needed to be twisted before the Pokémon inside could be sent out. While it is unknown how these types were manufactured, it is likely that they were made by hand using Apricorns, prior to the standardization and mass production of modern-day Poké Balls.
* The [[Iron-Masked Marauder]], an agent of [[Team Rocket]], used special [[Dark Ball]]s that corrupted Pokémon caught inside them and made them into mindless servants of the Trainer, as well as raising their power significantly. Multiple Pokémon were caught in these Poké Balls, including the {{pkmn2|Mythical}} {{OBP|Celebi|M04}} and a powerful {{p|Tyranitar}}. They seem capable of catching any Pokémon without fail.
* As in the games, the [[GS Ball]] appeared in {{aniseries|PTS}}, and was the primary motivation for Ash's trip to the [[Orange Islands]], where he would compete in his second Pokémon League. It also served as the catalyst for his journey to [[Johto]], as he needed to deliver the ball to [[Kurt]]. Former director [[Masamitsu Hidaka]] revealed that a shelved storyline, that would have concluded the GS Ball's arc, involved a {{p|Celebi}} that would have traveled with Ash and his friends through at least part of Johto. The storyline was viewed as redundant after the decision was made to introduce Celebi in the fourth movie instead.
* ''[[AG104|Claydol, Big and Tall]]'' featured the "Stone Balls", two huge Poké Balls made of stone used to seal away a destructive {{pkmn2|giant}} {{p|Claydol}} that had caused devastation on [[Izabe Island]] in the past. One of the balls was destroyed by {{TRT}}, who wanted to get their hands on Claydol. When it proved to be uncontrollable, the trio was forced to team up with Ash and his friends in order to reseal it within the second ball.
* In ''[[AG178|Battling the Enemy Within!]]'', an ancient relic resembling a Poké Ball was first mentioned by {{an|Brandon}}, who told Ash and his friends a story about the [[King of Pokélantis]], who had once tried to control {{p|Ho-Oh}} for his own evil purposes. When Ash later found the relic, it was revealed that the King of Pokélantis's spirit was actually sealed within it, and it possessed Ash until it was banished from his body and resealed back inside the relic.
* In ''[[BW037|A Fishing Connoisseur in a Fishy Competition!]]'', a specially marked Poké Ball, called the "Fishing Poké Ball", was used in the fake fishing contest set up by Team Rocket. This Poké Ball highly resembled the regular red and white Poké Ball, except that it had a dark fish mark on its red part.
* In ''[[M21|The Power of Us]]'', the participants of the [[Pokémon Catch Race]] used special "Catch Race Poké Balls" to catch specifically marked Pokémon around [[Fula City]]. These Poké Balls feature a blue-and-white color scheme, with a gold button.
* In {{aniseries|JN}}, starting from ''[[JN003|Ivysaur's Mysterious Tower!]]'', the Team Rocket trio was provided with the [[Rocket Prize Master]], a vending machine that lets them borrow random Pokémon from it, contained in special Team Rocket Poké Balls. When a Pokémon is sent out from them, these Balls drop a small leaflet explaining details about the Pokémon in question.
* Dynamaxed Poké Balls were first used in ''[[JN012|Flash of the Titans!]]'' during {{an|Lance}} and {{an|Leon}}'s [[World Coronation Series]] {{pkmn|battle}}. In ''[[JN045|Sword and Shield... The Legends Awaken!]]'', [[Goh]], with Ash's help, used a Dynamaxed Poké Ball to catch a weakened {{TP|Goh|Eternatus}}, which was later sealed away.

====History====
{{main|History of Poké Balls}}
As mentioned, the generic Poké Ball design is not constant and has been remodeled and altered innumerable times in order to create new Poké Balls that are adapted for specific conditions. For example, it is seen in several {{aniseries|PTS}} episodes such as ''[[AG065|Gulpin it Down!]]'' and ''[[AG104|Claydol Big and Tall]]'' that normal Poké Balls have difficulty catching Pokémon which are extremely large or extremely heavy. In the latter episode, it is revealed that ancient civilizations overcame this issue by constructing immense Poké Balls many times the size of the standard model known today, and made from stone instead. Other civilizations such as [[Pokémopolis]] also discovered new technologies that more closely resembled modern Poké Ball technology, such as the [[Pokémopolis#Pokémopolis artifacts|Dark Device]] and the [[Pokémopolis#Pokémopolis artifacts|Unearthly Urn]], which were also adapted for the capture and storage of massive Pokémon but in small containers. However, devices like these became lost to the ages and their roles were subsequently supplanted by Heavy Balls in the modern world.

In ''[[EP095|A Shipful of Shivers]]'', modern Poké Balls are found in the [[ghost ship]], implying that modern Poké Balls were first made at least 300 years ago. According to ''[[Pocket Monsters: The Animation]]'', Poké Balls were developed to allow for various Trainers to efficiently capture and train Pokémon in relatively little risk to themselves, as the act of training a Pokémon often results in severe injuries and even death. It also claims that the Pokémon {{p|Primeape}} and its notoriously violent nature was directly responsible for their creation.

Prior to the invention of Poké Balls, Pokémon were referred to as magical creatures (Japanese: {{tt|魔獣|まじゅう}} ''majū''), indicating that the name Pokémon, short for Pocket Monster, did not come into common parlance as a term until Poké Balls allowed the various magical creatures to be stored easily.

===''Pokémon Horizons: The Series''===
[[File:Poké Ball success.png|thumb|250px|A Poké Ball after catching a Pokémon in {{aniseries|HZ}}]]
Poké Balls in {{aniseries|HZ}} work the same way they do in {{aniseries|PTS}}.

As shown in [[HZ089]], when a Trainer dies, their Poké Balls automatically release all of their Pokémon back into the wild.

====Other variants====
* [[Ancient Poké Ball]]s are a special type of Poké Ball. The search for these Poké Balls is an important plot within {{aniseries|HZ}}. The only known Ancient Poké Balls all belonged to the Ancient Adventurer [[Lucius]], who used them to capture the members of the [[Six Heroes]]. In addition to capturing Pokémon, they seem to have unique powers and react to certain stimuli, like [[Rystal]]'s {{p|Terapagos}}, [[Pagogo]], and Lucius's other Ancient Poké Balls.
* In ''[[HZ029|Orla and the Poké Ball Smith]]'', several custom-made Poké Balls created by [[Karna]] were shown. These include the Rocket Ball, which has miniature rocket engines that boost its speed; the Boomerang Ball, which curves back around once thrown; the Bomb-Bomb Ball, which has a fuse that lights up when the ball is about to be thrown and causes the ball to explode when it burns out; the Chase Ball, which homes in on the target Pokémon on a set of wheels; and an unnamed Ball that Karna gave to [[Orla]] as a gift at the end of the episode.
* In ''[[HZ075|The Wonders of the World!]]'', [[Gibeon]] was revealed to keep his [[White Zygarde|Zygarde]] in a Poké Ball that resembles the Ancient Poké Ball used by [[Lucius]] and are just as old as them.

===Pokémon Origins===
[[File:Poké Ball PO.png|thumb|250px|A Poké Ball in Pokémon Origins]]
Besides the regular Poké Ball, the other Generation I variations of it were also seen during the [[Pokémon Origins]] miniseries. In ''[[PO03|File 3: Giovanni]]'', it was shown that [[Giovanni]] kept his strongest Pokémon, {{p|Rhyhorn}} and {{p|Rhydon}}, within Ultra Balls. In ''[[PO04|File 4: Charizard]]'', {{OBP|Red|Origins}} was seen catching an {{p|Arbok}} with a Great Ball and a {{p|Chansey}} with a Safari Ball. He also used Ultra Balls to capture the [[Legendary Pokémon]] {{p|Articuno}}, {{p|Zapdos}}, {{p|Moltres}}, and {{p|Mewtwo}}.

The Master Ball only appeared in a demonstration in ''File 3: Giovanni'', as it was still under development at the time. After [[Team Rocket]] was driven out of the [[Silph Co.]] building by Red, the development of the Master Ball was put on hold for a while.

Additionally, in Pokémon Origins, the sound effects and bright light used when a Trainer is catching, sending out, or recalling a Pokémon differ in comparison to the sound effects and lights that are used in the {{pkmn|animated series}}, more resembling the effects seen in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}.

===Pokémon Generations===
[[File:Ultra Ball PG.png|thumb|left|250px|An Ultra Ball in [[Pokémon Generations]]]]
The only Poké Ball variant seen in [[Pokémon Generations]] was an Ultra Ball, which appeared in ''[[PG09|The Scoop]]''. It was shown being used by {{player|a Trainer}} to catch a {{p|Deoxys}} in outer space.
{{-}}

==In live-action media==
===The Strength of the Master===
In the Brazilian music video [[The Strength of the Master]], there are CGI-animated Poké Balls with the stylized "E" logo of the performer Eliana.

The Eliana Poké Balls are sometimes seen slowly floating or flying fast in the air, and often used as screen transitions during the music video. Eliana is also shown throwing this Poké Ball. The Eliana Poké Balls usually appear in a red version (but with the white half at the top, as opposed to the regular Poké Ball), but there is also a blue version.

At some point, two Eliana Poké Balls float in the air and glow in front of a boy and a girl, magically causing them to wear cosplays of {{Ash}} and {{an|Misty}}.

==In the manga==
In the various [[Pokémon manga]], Poké Balls have been shown to appear differently, as an attempt to explain how a Trainer knows which Pokémon is in which ball, as most Pokémon manga series were, like the animated series, developed at a time when the games could not keep track of the ball a Pokémon was contained in.

===The Electric Tale of Pikachu===
[[File:Poké Ball EToP.png|thumb|left|200px|A Poké Ball in [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]]]]
[[File:Enormo Poké Ball EToP.png|thumb|200px|The Enormo Poké Ball-X1]]
In [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]], the rules are more similar to the animated series; however, Poké Balls are numbered on the outside, on the button, so that a Trainer knows which member of their team they are sending into battle. In The Electric Tale of Pikachu, Trainers must obtain a license before they are legally allowed to purchase Poké Balls.

It is also possible for a Pokémon to be placed inside a Poké Ball without it being owned by a Trainer. In ''[[ET11|Days of Gloom and Glory]]'', [[Meowzie]] steals a Poké Ball from a shop and puts her kitten in it so that it will not be hurt by a flood affecting the city.

In ''[[ET04|Haunting My Dreams]]'', a giant Poké Ball named the Enormo Poké Ball-X1 (Japanese: '''ビッグモンスターボールX1''' ''Big Monster Ball-X1'') or EPB-X1 for short, was created to capture the gigantic {{p|Haunter}}, [[Black Fog]]. It was destroyed when the Black Fog used {{m|Explosion}} to free itself after being captured.
{{-}}

===Magical Pokémon Journey===
In [[Magical Pokémon Journey]], the main characters generally do not capture Pokémon, rather, they befriend them. Although [[Almond]], one of the main characters, is known to be a [[Pokémon Trainer]], he is not actually depicted capturing or raising any Pokémon. In fact, in the bonus materials of {{Vol|Magical Pokémon Journey|2}}, in which the cast of the manga meet {{Ash}}, {{an|Misty}}, and {{an|Brock}} in a series of crossovers, it is revealed that [[Hazel]] and [[Coconut]] do not even know what Poké Balls are. When Ash and Misty explain that they are used to capture Pokémon, they both proceed to attempt to use them to capture Almond, as he is each of their love interest.

===Pokémon Adventures===
[[File:Yellow Seadra Poké Ball.png|thumb|200px|{{adv|Yellow}}'s {{p|Seadra}} inside his Poké Ball in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
In the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga, the tops of Poké Balls are semitransparent, allowing the Pokémon inside, which is miniaturized, to be seen through the ball, while the Pokémon can likewise see out of the ball it is contained in. In this manga, unlike in the animated series, Pokémon already captured can be recaught in another Poké Ball, as is seen when {{adv|Red}} recatches [[Gyara|Misty's Gyarados]] in ''[[PS006|Gyarados Splashes In!]]'' (though {{adv|Blue}} states that catching a Pokémon that belongs to another is not possible in ''[[PS050|Lapras Lazily]]'').

Like in the animated series and the games, specialty balls do exist, although they are much more commonly used than in the animated series. In ''[[PS026|Holy Moltres]]'', [[Team Rocket]] was shown to have caught the {{adv|legendary birds}} in Ultra Balls. In ''[[PS035|And Mewtwo... Three!]]'', [[Blaine]] gave Red the [[Master Ball]], which Red used to catch {{adv|Mewtwo}} shortly afterwards. In ''[[PS101|Teddiursa's Picnic]]'', {{adv|Gold}} and {{adv|Silver}} received a Friend Ball and Heavy Ball, respectively, with Silver using his ball to catch an {{TP|Silver|Ursaring}}, while Gold used his to catch a {{p|Teddiursa}} for [[Maizie]]. Close to the end of the {{MangaArc|Gold, Silver & Crystal}}, the [[Masked Man]] was shown creating a [[GS Ball]] and using it to catch {{adv|Celebi}}. In ''[[PS528|Innocent Scientist]]'', {{adv|Blake}} used Luxury Balls while trying to catch the {{TP|Blake|Genesect}} controlled by [[Colress]], eventually succeeding. In ''[[PS543|Abyssal Ruins]]'', Blake gave {{adv|Whitley}} a Quick Ball to catch a {{p|Karrablast}}. In ''[[PS583|Scizor Defends]]'', a Quick Ball was seen amongst the Poké Balls that {{adv|Y}} had used while trying to catch an {{p|Absol}}.

Safari Balls have been seen being used by Red at the {{safari|Kanto|Kanto Safari Zone}}, by {{adv|Diamond}}, {{adv|Pearl}}, and {{adv|Platinum}} at the [[Great Marsh]], and by Silver at the {{safari|Johto|Johto Safari Zone}}. {{adv|Crystal}} and {{adv|Emerald}} have also been shown using special balls to catch Pokémon, with Crystal specializing in [[Apricorn]] balls and Emerald specializing in Poké Balls introduced in [[Generation III]].

Additionally, the three original types of Poké Ball are used to identify the Trainer's rank; most Trainers keep their Pokémon in Poké Balls, [[Gym Leader]]s use Great Balls, and [[Elite Four]] members use Ultra Balls.

In the {{MangaArc|Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon}}, Beast Balls were created for the [[Aether Foundation]] by Blake, who was disguised as Colress, as a means of catching [[Ultra Beast]]s. Sun used one to catch his {{p|Stakataka}} in ''[[PASM30|Madness!! Mother Lusamine!]]''.

Like in the games, but unlike the animated series, Pokémon placed in their balls don't recover from [[status condition]]s nor regain lost health, no matter how much time passes.

====Variants====
* [[Bruno]] has modified his Poké Balls so that they are fitted onto the ends of his {{wp|Nunchaku|nunchucks}}. By swinging them quickly and throwing the nunchuck forward, Bruno can have his Pokémon quickly attack his opponent, giving him the advantage.
* [[Koga]] and his daughter [[Janine]] modified their Poké Balls into {{wp|shuriken}} to fit their ninja theme. In addition to being used as weapons, they can also be used to have their Pokémon pop up from different locations to surprise the opponent or to hold items to help an ally.
* [[Bugsy]] had [[Kurt]] modify his butterfly net into something he calls a Capture Net. His net has a Poké Ball nested into the middle of it. The bag of the net is made of the same material of the inside of a Poké Ball. Once a Pokémon is covered in the bag, they will automatically be sucked into the Poké Ball.
* [[Falkner]] has modified his Poké Balls into boomerangs using the feathers of his {{p|Skarmory}}. Because of Skarmory's feathers being transparent, they have the tendency to turn invisible, confusing enemies when Falkner throws them in random directions only for them to turn around and go straight for them.
* [[Erika]] and {{adv|Moon}} modified their Poké Balls to be at the end of their arrows.
* In ''[[PS283|It Takes Patience, Knowledge and a Really Quick Beedrill]]'', {{adv|Giovanni}} used a specifically designed Poké Ball with the letters "DNA" on its top half to capture {{adv|Deoxys}}.
* Multiple Dynamaxed Poké Balls appeared in the {{MangaArc|Sword & Shield}}, being used to both capture Dynamax Pokémon and send them out.

===Pokémon Gold & Silver: The Golden Boys===
Besides regular Poké Balls, Apricorn Poké Balls also received notable attention in the [[Pokémon Gold & Silver: The Golden Boys]] manga. They were first featured in ''[[GB07|The Great Search! Let's Rescue The Slowpoke!]]'', where {{GnB|Gold}} and [[Kurt]] used some of Kurt's hand-made Poké Balls to save a group of {{p|Slowpoke}} from drowning in the flooding [[Slowpoke Well]]. Kurt's Level Ball also proved crucial in stopping the [[Black Tyranitar]]'s rampage during the manga's climax.

===Pokémon: Yeah! I Got Pokémon!===
[[File:Poké Ball PM.png|thumb|200px|A Poké Ball in [[Pokémon Pocket Monsters]]]]
In [[Pokémon: Yeah! I Got Pokémon!]], Poké Balls are depicted as solid, with no visual identification as to which Poké Ball is which. In ''[[GDZ15|Special Chapter - Get Pikachu!]]'', it is revealed that when [[Shu]] met {{TP|Shu|Pikachu}}, Pikachu's Poké Ball had been abandoned in a forest because it was defective and it was causing Pikachu's electricity to be released throughout the surrounding area.

===Pokémon Pocket Monsters===
In [[Pokémon Pocket Monsters]], Poké Balls are often shown as transparent to identify when a Pokémon is inside. They usually have their typical appearance from far away, suggesting that they may not always be transparent, or are only see-through from up close. Pokémon appear to be able to see the world outside of their Poké Balls, as shown in ''[[PM003|Bring Down the Powerful Opponent Onix!!]]'', when {{TP|Red|Clefairy}} sees {{PPM|Red's Pikachu|Pikachu}} inside his Poké Ball, and they talk to each other. In ''[[PM001|Introducing the Pokémon Clefairy!!]]'', when {{PPM|Green}} is choosing Charmander as his [[first partner Pokémon]], he is shown to be able to pick up and lift Charmander directly from the Poké Ball without throwing it first.

==In the TCG==
[[File:Rocket Sneak Attack artwork.png|thumb|Ultra Ball]]
Many variants of Poké Ball have been released in card form in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]], ranging from the standard variants found in the games and other media to variants specific to the TCG. Generally, Poké Balls are depicted as {{TCG|Item card}}s that search the player's [[deck]] for {{TCG|Pokémon}} and put them into the player's [[hand]]. Many Poké Ball cards require some number of successful {{TCG|coin}} flips in order to allow for the search to succeed, but some cards use the order of the player's [[deck]] to create inconsistency instead. There are even Poké Ball cards that are guaranteed to work, but these cards are balanced by only finding specific subsets of Pokémon, requiring some cost to be paid, or having another drawback.

Some cards, such as {{TCG ID|Skyridge|Apricorn Maker|121}} and {{TCG ID|Shining Fates|Ball Guy|57}}, refer to Poké Ball cards as a group, using the phrase "Item cards that have the word “Ball” in their name". This phraseology excludes cards with "Balloon" in their name even though they otherwise meet the criteria. (An example of an excluded card was {{TCG ID|BREAKpoint|Bursting Balloon|97}}, before the [[errata]] that changed {{TCG|Pokémon Tool card}}s to be a subtype of {{TCG|Trainer card}}s rather than Item cards.)

===List of Poké Ball cards based on the games===
*
* The standard {{TCG ID|Jungle|Poké Ball|64}} card, which was the first released, debuted in the {{TCG|Jungle}} expansion and has since been featured in many others. It requires the player to flip a coin and if it is successful, it searches the deck for a {{TCG|Pokémon}} and puts it in the player's hand.
* The Ultra Ball can be seen in the artwork of {{TCG ID|Team Rocket|Rocket's Sneak Attack|16}}, from the {{TCG|Team Rocket}} expansion. The 'H' on this Ultra Ball is derived from its Japanese name, ''Hyper Ball''. The {{TCG ID|Dark Explorers|Ultra Ball|102}} itself would debut in {{TCG|Dark Explorers}}, with its effect requiring the player to discard 2 cards from the hand to search the deck for any single Pokémon.
* The {{TCG ID|EX FireRed & LeafGreen|Great Ball|92}}, which first appeared in the {{TCG|EX FireRed & LeafGreen|TCG expansion}} coinciding with the {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s|remakes}} of the [[Generation I]] games, is somewhat of an upgrade to the Poké Ball, and does not require the coin flip that the Poké Ball does, instead restricting the search to Basic Pokémon. Later, in {{TCG|Emerging Powers}}, {{TCG ID|Emerging Powers|Great Ball|93}}'s effect was changed to have the player search the top 7 cards of the deck for any one Pokémon card and put it in the hand.
* The {{TCG ID|Gym Challenge|Master Ball|116}}, first appearing in the {{TCG|Gym Challenge}} expansion, and in the games the most powerful of the Poké Balls, provides a vastly different effect than the standard. Rather than searching the entire deck, only the top seven cards may be searched. One {{TCG|Pokémon}} found in these seven can be put into the hand, while the rest must be shuffled back into the deck. In {{TCG|Plasma Blast}}, the {{TCG ID|Plasma Blast|Master Ball|94}} was changed to an {{TCG|ACE SPEC card}} that allowed the player to search the entire deck for any one Pokémon. This effect is similar to Ultra Ball, but without the discard cost.
* Debuting in the {{TCG|Skyridge}} expansion, the {{TCG ID|Skyridge|Lure Ball|128}} is different from the basic Poké Balls in that it draws from the {{TCG|discard pile}} rather than the deck. For each heads flipped, with a maximum of three, an {{TCG|Evolution card}} can be returned from the discard pile and put into the hand. It has since been reprinted in {{TCG|Celestial Storm}}.
* Also debuting in Skyridge, the {{TCG ID|Skyridge|Friend Ball|126}}, another [[Apricorn]] Ball, has a unique effect entirely, allowing the user to search their deck for a Pokémon of the same {{TCG|type}} as one of the opponent's Pokémon and put it into their hand. It is effective in decks that typically match up well against their own type. It was also reprinted in Celestial Storm.
* The {{TCG ID|Skyridge|Fast Ball|124}} allows the player to go through their deck, turning over cards one at a time until they find the first [[Evolution]] card, and then taking that into their hand, shuffling afterward. Like the other two Apricorn Balls, it debuted in Skyridge, but unlike the others, it has not appeared since.
* The {{TCG ID|Great Encounters|Premier Ball|101}}, debuting in the {{TCG|Great Encounters}} expansion, is special, much as in the games, and allows the player to search either the deck ''or'' the discard pile for a {{TCG|Pokémon LV.X}} to put into their hand.
* The {{TCG ID|Stormfront|Luxury Ball|86}}, first released in the {{TCG|Stormfront}} expansion, is among the rarest of the Poké Ball varieties in the games, though its catch rate is the same as that of a normal Poké Ball. Likewise it is so with the TCG, allowing a non-{{TCG|Pokémon LV.X|LV.X}} Pokémon to be searched from the deck, but only if another Luxury Ball card is not in the discard pile.
* The {{TCG ID|Mysterious Treasures|Quick Ball|114}} released in the {{TCG|Mysterious Treasures}} expansion has a similar effect to the Fast Ball released in Skyridge, allowing the player to uncover cards from their deck until they find a Pokémon. An expansion of the Fast Ball's use, any Pokémon can be found, though this may prove an issue if the player is looking for an Evolution card specifically and finds a Basic Pokémon first, and vice versa. The Quick Ball was rereleased in the {{TCG|Sword & Shield}} expansion with a different effect, requiring players to discard 1 card in order to search their deck for a Basic Pokémon.
* The {{TCG ID|Mysterious Treasures|Dusk Ball|110}}, also first released in Mysterious Treasures, features an effect somewhat opposite from that of the pre-Plasma Blast version of Master Ball: Instead of the top seven cards being searched, only the bottom seven cards may be, and a Pokémon found there may be put into the player's hand.
* The {{TCG ID|Next Destinies|Heavy Ball|88}}, first released in {{TCG|Next Destinies}}, allows the player to search their deck for a Pokémon who has a [[Retreat Cost]] of 3 or more and put it into their hand.
* The {{TCG ID|Next Destinies|Level Ball|89}}, also first released in {{TCG|Next Destinies}}, allows the player to search their deck for a Pokémon that has 90 HP or less and put it into their hand.
* The {{TCG ID|Primal Clash|Dive Ball|125}}, released only in {{TCG|Primal Clash}}, allows the player to search their deck for a {{ct|Water}} Pokémon and put it into their hand.
* The {{TCG ID|Primal Clash|Repeat Ball|136}}, released only in {{TCG|Primal Clash}}, allows the player to search their deck for a Pokémon with the same name as one of their Pokémon in play and put it into their hand.
* The {{TCG ID|Sun & Moon|Nest Ball|123}}, first released in {{TCG|Sun & Moon}}, allows the player to search their deck for a Basic Pokémon and put it onto their Bench.
* The {{TCG ID|Sun & Moon|Timer Ball|134}}, first released in {{TCG|Sun & Moon}}, allows the player to search their deck for a number of Evolution Pokémon equal to the number of heads from flipping two coins.
* The {{TCG ID|Lost Thunder|Net Ball|187}}, first released in {{TCG|Lost Thunder}}, allows the player to search their deck for a Basic {{e|Grass}} Pokémon or a {{e|Grass}} Energy card and put it into their hand.
* The {{TCG ID|Celestial Storm|Beast Ball|125}}, first released in {{TCG|Celestial Storm}}, allows the player to look at their Prize Cards, and swap an [[Ultra Beast]] found there with the Beast Ball card.
* The {{TCG ID|Unified Minds|Cherish Ball|191}}, first released in {{TCG|Unified Minds}}, allows the player to search their deck for any {{TCG|Pokémon-GX}} and put it into their hand.
* The {{TCG ID|Evolving Skies|Dream Ball|146}}, first released in {{TCG|Evolving Skies}}, allows the player to search their deck for a Pokémon and put it on their bench, but the card can only be played if the player took it as a face down Prize card.
* The {{TCG ID|Astral Radiance|Feather Ball|141}}, first released in {{TCG|Astral Radiance}}, allows the player to search their deck for a Pokémon with no Retreat Cost and put it into their hand.
* The {{TCG ID|Astral Radiance|Hisuian Heavy Ball|146}}, first released in Astral Radiance, allows the player to look at their Prize cards, and swap a Basic Pokémon found there with the Hisuian Heavy Ball card.
* The {{TCG ID|Twilight Masquerade|Love Ball|156}}, first released in {{TCG|Twilight Masquerade}}, is similar in effect to Friend Ball, except it allows the user to search their deck for a Pokémon of the same name (instead of the same type) as one of the opponent's Pokémon, and put it into their hand.

===List of Poké Balls original to the TCG===
* The {{TCG ID|Expedition|Dual Ball|139}} is two Poké Balls together, and has a similar (but not identical) effect to using two Poké Ball cards. The player flips two coins then searches their deck for one Basic Pokémon per heads result.
* The {{TCG ID|EX Team Magma vs Team Aqua|Team Magma Ball|80}} is a [[Team Magma]] variation of the Poké Ball, released only in the {{TCG|EX Team Magma vs Team Aqua}} expansion. First, the player flips a coin. If it has a heads result, the card allows the user to search for a Team Magma's Pokémon. If that coin flip results in tails, the search is limited to {{TCG|Basic Pokémon|Basic}} Team Magma Pokémon.
* The {{TCG ID|EX Team Magma vs Team Aqua|Team Aqua Ball|75}} is a [[Team Aqua]] variation of the Poké Ball, also released only in the {{TCG|EX Team Magma vs Team Aqua}} expansion. It has the same effect as the Team Magma Ball, but searches for Team Aqua's Pokémon instead.
* The {{TCG ID|EX Team Rocket Returns|Rocket's Poké Ball|89}} is the [[Team Rocket]] variation on the Poké Ball, released in the {{TCG|EX Team Rocket Returns}} expansion. It allows the player to search their deck for a {{TCG|Dark Pokémon}}.
* The {{TCG ID|Plasma Freeze|Team Plasma Ball|105}} is a [[Team Plasma]] variation of the Poké Ball, released in the {{TCG|Plasma Freeze}} expansion. It allows the user to search their deck for a {{TCG|Team Plasma}} Pokémon.
* The {{TCG ID|Double Crisis|Team Magma's Great Ball|31}} is a Team Magma variation on the Great Ball, released in the {{TCG|Double Crisis}} expansion. It searches the deck for a Basic Team Magma Pokémon and a Basic {{e|Fighting}} Energy.
* The {{TCG ID|Double Crisis|Team Aqua's Great Ball|27}} is a Team Aqua variation on the Great Ball, also released in the {{TCG|Double Crisis}} expansion. It searches the deck for a Basic Team Aqua Pokémon and a Basic {{e|Water}} Energy.
* The [[Team Rocket's Great Ball (Destined Rivals 175)|Team Rocket's Great Ball]] is a Team Rocket variation on the Great Ball, released in the [[Glory of the Rocket Gang (TCG)|Glory of the Rocket Gang]] expansion. The player flips a coin then searches their deck for an Evolution [[Owner's Pokémon (TCG)#Team Rocket's Pokémon|Team Rocket's Pokémon]] for heads or a Basic Team Rocket's Pokémon for tails.

==In the novels==
===Pocket Monsters: The Animation===
In [[Pocket Monsters: The Animation]], it is said that Poké Balls were invented in 1925 by [[Professor Westwood V|Professor Nishinomori]].

==In the guidebooks==
According to the [[Encyclopedia Pokemonica]], [[Pocket Monsters Encyclopedia]], and a [[Pokémon Daisuki Club]] site describing the [[Pokémon world]], modern Poké Balls were developed in 1925 from the research of [[Professor Westwood V|Professor Westwood]] of [[Celadon University]].

==In real life==
The Pokémon Company has occasionally partnered with certain companies in order to create certain products. This includes Poké Balls.
*The Pokémon Company has collaborated with {{wikipedia|Tiffany & Co.}} in order to make a Poké Ball that also acts as a jewelry case.
<gallery>

==Trivia==
* {{an|Professor Oak}} has written {{wp|senryū}} about the Poké Ball in two of his lectures:
** For [[DP003]], the [[Professor Oak's Big Pokémon Encyclopedia]] featured this senryū: 「ゲットだぜ　なげかたいろいろ　モンスターボール」 ''"I caught a Pokémon! {{tt|Monster Balls|Poké Balls}} can be thrown in all sorts of ways."''
** For [[BW002]], the [[Professor Oak's Pokémon Live Caster]] featured this senryū: 「あっポケモン　モンスターボール　わすれずに」 ''"Oh, a Pokémon; don't forget to bring your {{tt|Monster Balls|Poké Balls}}."''
* In some early artwork for {{game|Red and Green|s}}, Poké Balls are shown on the ground in two pieces while the Pokémon are in battle, rather than in the more familiar hinged form they take now. This may be a carryover from when Pokémon was known as Capsule Monsters, as the Poké Ball sprites in [[Generation I]] also do not show the button on the ball. In [[Generation II]], Poké Balls split in half when capturing a Pokémon as part of their animation, while the animated series had been using the hinge style since the very first episode.
* In the earlier volumes of the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga, Poké Balls captured and released Pokémon in large puffs of smoke, often with a strong sound effect. This may have been based on the capture and release animations in Generation I and II. As [[Generation III]] onwards exchanged the smoke effect for Ball-specific animations, the effect in the manga shifted instead to bursts of light.
* Poké Balls are inspired by the capsules for {{wp|gashapon}}, or gachapon, machines, which contain small, handheld toys.
** In {{aniseries|JN}}, the [[Rocket Prize Master]] ({{j|ロケット・ガチャット}}, Rocket Gachat), first appearing in ''[[JN003|Ivysaur's Mysterious Tower!]]'', acts as such a machine but dispenses Pokémon in Poké Balls rather than plastic toys.
* In Generation II, after catching a Pokémon, the Poké Ball's color palette changes to that of the Pokémon that was just caught. It then changes back to normal thereafter.
* Starting in Generation III, all Poké Ball types have a special effect that appears whenever the ball is opened. These special effects also can be seen in [[Pokémon Colosseum]] and [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]]. In [[Generation IV]] and {{pkmn|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}}, customizable special effects are available through [[Sticker]]s.
* In {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}, [[Cyrus]]'s computer indicates that a Poké Ball would limit the power of {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Palkia}}. This leads to [[Team Galactic]] creating the [[Red Chain]] instead to shackle them so they can control their full power.
* [[Generation VI]] is the only completed generation to date to not have introduced a new type of Poké Ball.

ChocoLixo2:

A '''Gym''' (Japanese: '''ジム''' ''Gym'') (short for '''Pokémon Gym''') is a place where [[Pokémon Trainer]]s go to {{pkmn|training|train}} their {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. Just like real-life {{wp|gym}}nasiums, where one can go to work out and build physical strength, Pokémon Gyms are places where Trainers can go to sharpen their {{pkmn|battle|battling}} skills and where their Pokémon can go to gain [[experience]].

Often specializing in a particular [[type]], Gyms create an environment which allows Trainers to test both their skills and Pokémon against those of others. The most powerful Trainer in a given Gym is called the [[Gym Leader]], who is revered by both the lower-ranking members of the Gym and local fans. Usually, Gyms are designed to follow and suit the type that the Gym specializes in, such as [[Wattson]]'s Gym that has electric gates to indicate that it is {{t|Electric}}. However, there are also Gyms that do not practice this, such as [[Viridian Gym]] or [[Cinnabar Gym]].

Official Gyms are certified by a [[Pokémon League]], and at least eight official Gym [[Badge]]s are requested before taking the Pokémon League challenge. Gyms are vital to a Pokémon Trainer's {{pkmn|journey}}; they may have to travel far and wide, as there can only be one Gym per city. There are also unofficial Gyms that are not certified, many of which are prestigious nonetheless. Currently, [[Alola]] is the only region with no Gyms or Gym Leader; instead, a ceremony known as the [[island challenge]] takes its place.

==In core series games==
===Official Gyms===
Most official Gyms feature a number of Trainers that the player may face before battling the Gym Leader. Their teams typically consist of the same [[type]] of Pokémon that the Gym Leader has. These Trainers cannot be battled after the Gym Leader has been defeated, with the exception of those found in [[Driftveil Gym]]{{sup/5|B2W2}}.

The [[Gym guide]] routinely stands at the entrance of the Gym, giving the player advice about the type advantages corresponding to the signature type of the Gym Leader.

There are generally eight known official Gyms in [[core series]] [[region]]s that include Gyms. In [[Galar]], Gym Leaders typically are fought in Stadiums that welcome spectators and facilitate the use of [[Dynamax]] through a Power Spot.

{{incomplete|section|needs=HGSS pictures different colors, Generation VI pictures}}
[[Generation II|Generations II]], {{gen|V}}, {{gen|VI}}, and {{gen|VIII}} have a unique design for each Gym (except [[Cinnabar Gym]], which is destroyed). However, in Generation II, the only difference is the shape and color of the roof, with the exception of Saffron and Cerulean Gyms. In Generation VIII, the only differences are the color scheme and the type logo above the entrance, with the exceptions of Motostoke Stadium, Spikemuth Gym, and Hammerlocke Stadium.

===Unofficial Gyms===
====Saffron City Dojo====
{{Main|Fighting Dojo}}
The Trainers of this Gym specialize in {{type|Fighting}} Pokémon. It used to be an official Gym until [[Sabrina]] defeated its Leader, [[Koichi]]. After the player defeats the Dojo's Karate Master Koichi, he will give the player either {{p|Hitmonlee}} or {{p|Hitmonchan}} as a reward.

====Prestige Precept center====
{{main|Prestige Precept Center}}
Also known as the Pre Gym, this unofficial Gym of [[Phenac City]] doubles as an {{pkmn|academy}}. In [[Pokémon Colosseum]], its Leader, [[Justy]], will not battle the Trainer until they have at least six Pokémon, and will give away {{TM|27|Return}}.

====Kantonian Gym====
{{main|Kantonian Gym}}
In [[Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon]], there is an unofficial Gym in [[Malie City]] modeled after the [[Vermilion Gym]] from Kanto. The Leader of this Gym will give the [[Surge Badge]] after the player defeats him for the first time.

==In the side series games==
===Pokémon Stadium series===
Fields based on the Gyms of Kanto appear in {{g|Stadium}}'s [[Gym Leader Castle]]. Each of these Gyms houses three Trainers the player must defeat in order to face the Gym Leader. Defeating each Gym Leader allows the player to access to the next Gym, or, in the case of [[Giovanni]], the [[Elite Four]]'s tower.

Fields based on the Gyms of Johto and Kanto appear in their respective Gym Leader Castles in {{g|Stadium 2}}. In the Johto Gyms, the number of Gym Trainers varies in each Gym from zero to two. Like in Stadium, these Gyms must be challenged in order. The Kanto Gyms, however, house no Gym Trainers in any of them and can be challenged in any order.

==In the spin-off games==
[[File:GO Guide Gym 1.png|thumb|150px|A Gym in Pokémon GO, claimed by Team Valor, with a {{p|Metagross}} as its most recent Pokémon added]]
===Pokémon GO===
{{main|Gym (GO)}}
In [[Pokémon GO]], Gyms are located at various locations in the real world, being depicted as large towers in the Map View.

If a Gym tower is red, yellow, or blue, that Gym is currently controlled by the team of that color; if a Gym tower is white, that Gym is currently not controlled by any team and the team of the first player who puts a Pokémon there will be the one that controlls it.

After selecting a team (which can only be done after reaching level 5), a player can battle at Gyms. At Gyms of an opposing team, players can challenge them in order to decrease the motivation of Pokémon in the Gym, causing it to get knocked if its motivation hits 0. If all of a Gym's Pokémon are removed, the Gym becomes free to be claimed by any team.

{{OBP|Raid Battle|GO}}s occur exclusively at Gyms.
{{-}}

==In animation==
===''Pokémon the Series''===
In {{aniseries|PTS}}, Trainers challenge Gyms in order to earn Badges, which grant them entry to that region's [[Pokémon League Conference]]. All official Gyms present in the [[core series]] prior to [[Generation VIII]] games have been featured in {{aniseries|PTS}}.

With the exception of the [[Orange Islands]], most regions seem to have at least eight Gyms which Trainers can choose to challenge, and winning Badges from any eight qualifies a Trainer for the region's Pokémon League Conference. In [[Unova]], while Ash originally intended to earn the Legend Badge, he ultimately earns the Toxic Badge from the [[Virbank Gym]] as his eighth Badge instead.

Many fellow Trainers that Ash has encountered have been shown to have Badges that do not exist in the games, such as [[Gary Oak]] earning ten Badges in Kanto. Other Badges observed in ''Pokémon the Series'' which do not correspond to known Badges suggest that there are at least nine Gyms in [[Hoenn]], 11 in [[Sinnoh]], 14 in [[Unova]], and 11 in [[Kalos]]. Despite this, Ash's Badge case has frequently had indents specifically shaped for the Badges that appear in the games.

Gyms can be battled in any order, with Ash and his friends seeming to pick out Gyms based on their current location. However, at times, a certain Gym order has been implied in ''Pokémon the Series''. In the case of Hoenn, Ash originally challenges [[Norman]] in ''[[AG003|There's No Place Like Hoenn]]'', at which time Norman explains to Ash that he must have three Pokémon to challenge the [[Petalburg Gym]] officially. Instead, Norman points to [[Rustboro Gym|Rustboro]] as the first Gym Ash should face.

In Kalos, due to {{an|Clemont}}'s perception of an ideal challenger of the [[Lumiose Gym]], he programmed the [[Clembot]]—the substitute [[Gym Leader]]—to throw out challengers who did not have four Kalos Gym Badges. As a result, when Ash attempted to challenge the Gym shortly after arriving in the Kalos region, Clembot acted according to its programming and threw him out. After Clemont [[XY009|was able to reprogram the Clembot]], he removed the Badge restriction, but Ash indicated he would still collect four Badges before challenging Clemont himself at the Gym.

In Galar, Stadium battlefields are surrounded by a force field that protects the audience from Pokémon attacks, including the moves of [[Dynamax]] and [[Gigantamax]] Pokémon.

Gyms are inspected by the [[Pokémon Inspection Agency]], which can shut down Gyms which are not up to standard. The Agency can also determine whether unofficial Gyms are worthy of becoming official.

====Rules====
Most Gym battles are conducted as Single Battles, although some have been held as [[Double Battle]]s.

In most cases, Gym Leaders are not permitted to [[Recall|switch]] Pokémon while challengers are; although those that Ash encountered before [[Blaine]] did switch, since {{Ash}}'s match against Blaine in ''[[EP058|Riddle Me This]]'', only [[Lenora]] has switched out a Pokémon. Challengers are usually only allowed to use the same number of Pokémon as the Gym Leader, but some Gym battles—such as with [[Roxie]] and [[Grant]]—have exceptions. In a Gym battle, a Pokémon is determined to be unable to battle when declared as such by a [[battle judge]].

Gym Leaders appear to be able to impose their own rules, in addition to the standard set of rules for Gym battles. In particular, the [[Orange League|Orange Crew]] all have entire Gym matches devoted to unconventional battling styles.

=====Special rules=====
* For [[Mossdeep Gym]]'s {{badge|Mind}}, Ash battled [[Tate and Liza]] in a [[Double Battle]]. For [[Anistar Gym]]'s {{badge|Psychic}}, he battled [[Olympia]] in a Double Battle.
* [[Juan]] of [[Sootopolis Gym]] has a unique two round system, with the first round being a Double Battle. Once the challenger wins the first round, they enter the second round, battling against three of his Pokémon in a Single Battle. Only the challenger is allowed to substitute, and can use five Pokémon.
* When Ash challenged [[Whitney]] of the [[Goldenrod Gym]] in Johto to a rematch, he fought three-on-one in his favor, with Whitney only using her {{p|Miltank}}.
* For the [[Striaton Gym]]'s {{badge|Trio}}, the challenger can choose which of the three Gym Leaders they want to battle. However, Ash challenged all three triplets, making the battle a best-two-out-of-three tournament, with Ash only earning a Badge after defeating at least two of the Gym Leaders.
* For the [[Nacrene Gym]]'s {{badge|Basic}}, both the challenger and the Gym Leader use the same number of Pokémon, with both being allowed to make substitutions.
* For the [[Mistralton Gym]]'s {{badge|Jet}}, the challenger and the Gym Leader used to engage in "Air Battles". In these, the Gym Leader first displays her three chosen Pokémon, followed with the challenger revealing their own three, then the Gym Leader decides the outcome of the battle using her own experience without even physically battling.
* For the [[Virbank Gym]]'s {{badge|Toxic}}, the battle was teams of three-on-six in Ash's favor, with only him being allowed to make substitutions.
* For the [[Cyllage Gym]]'s {{badge|Cliff}}, the Gym Leader uses only two Pokémon, while the challenger has access to all of theirs.

=====Puzzles=====
Some Gyms also require the challenger to undergo a trial or a test before they can battle the Gym Leader.

* The [[Fuchsia Gym]] in Kanto was set up like a ninja house and riddled with traps, which the Trainers had to make their way through before they were allowed to challenge the Gym Leader.
* The [[Cinnabar Gym]] (again in Kanto) was hidden, and required challengers to find it by solving the riddles given by the disguised Gym Leader, [[Blaine]]. Despite Ash technically being the challenger, it was {{an|Misty}} who ultimately solved all of the riddles.
* The [[Nacrene Gym]] in Unova could only be accessed if the Trainer picks the single right book in an entire library. To make it easier, [[Lenora]] even reaches up and rests her fingers on the book in question as a hint, though many of her potential opponents fail to take said hint (though Ash successfully figured it out).
* The [[Lumiose Gym]] in Kalos, when under the charge of the [[Clembot]], used to first require Trainers to have four Badges before they could challenge the Gym.

====Orange League====
In {{aniseries|OS}}, the [[Orange Islands]] contains its own league, the [[Orange League]] complete with its own Gyms:

|}{{-}}

The four Gym Leaders each have their own special requirements challengers must meet in order to gain their Gym Badges.
* For the {{badge|Coral Eye}}, the challenger and Gym Leader [[Cissy]] go head-to-head in three water-based physical challenges using their Water-type Pokémon.
* For the {{badge|Sea Ruby}}, the challenger must complete two of Gym Leader [[Danny]]'s three challenges, though they were only qualified to do so if they could pass his pre-test, which was to climb a mountain to the peak, where the Gym is located. These challenges are to freeze a geyser with their Pokémon's ice attack, build a bobsled (or toboggan) from said geyser with the help of three of their Pokémon, and compete in a bobsled race down the side of the mountain against Danny.
* For the {{badge|Spike Shell}}, Gym Leader [[Rudy]] assigns the challenger an attack challenge in which they must use their Pokémon to knock down all the targets on a tricky water course. If they pass this pre-test, they must defeat Rudy in a three-on-three battle, with Pokémon of the same type battling each other.
* For the {{badge|Jade Star}}, the challenger must battle Gym Leader [[Luana]] in a [[Double Battle]].

====Unofficial Gyms====
=====A.J.'s Gym=====
This Gym is run solely by the Trainer [[A.J.]], and is notable for its rigorous training methods. It is unknown what prize if any A.J. gave to any victorious challengers, because he left it to enter the [[Pokémon League]] after he defeated 100 challengers in a row using only his {{p|Sandshrew}}. This Gym appears in ''[[EP008|The Path to the Pokémon League]]''.

=====Fighting Spirit Gym=====
This Gym was run by {{OBP|Anthony|EP029}}, who was training his {{p|Hitmonchan}} for the [[P1 Grand Prix]]. It did not appear to be used for actual [[Pokémon battle]]s. Instead, it had the appearance of a {{wp|gym}} used for training and exercising. This Gym appears in ''[[EP029|The Punchy Pokémon]]''.

=====Kaz Gym=====
This Gym in [[Dark City]] wanted to become an official Gym to earn money, but was rejected by the [[Pokémon League]]. It has Pokémon of various types, but its primary Pokémon is an {{p|Electabuzz}}. This Gym appears in ''[[EP042|Showdown at Dark City]]'' and is run by [[Kaz]].

=====Yas Gym=====
This Gym in [[Dark City]] wanted to become an official Gym to earn money, but was rejected by the [[Pokémon League]]. The Gym Trainers specialize in {{type|Fighting}} Pokémon but the Gym Leader's Pokémon is a {{p|Scyther}}. This Gym appears in ''[[EP042|Showdown at Dark City]]'' and is run by [[Yas]].

=====Coastline Gym=====
This is an unofficial Gym that appeared in ''[[EP256|Just Add Water]]''. It is located on the outskirts of [[Blackthorn City]]. Led by [[Dorian]], the Gym specializes in {{type|Water}} Pokémon. Unlike the other Water-type Gyms, Dorian holds his battles underwater.

Although the Gym is unofficial, Dorian is hoping that it will become more popular by word-of-mouth. In fact, after {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} visited the Gym, they promised they would tell everyone at the [[Silver Conference]] about it. However, it hasn't been mentioned since then.

=====Anthony's Gym=====
{{OBP|Anthony|AG010}} (not to be confused with the Anthony mentioned above) ran an unofficial Gym purely for bragging rights. His powerful {{p|Pelipper}} and its peculiar move set, including {{m|Vine Whip}} and {{m|Flamethrower}}, were eventually revealed to be a well orchestrated hoax. Anthony admitted that Pelipper carried {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} inside its mouth. As a result, Anthony decided to close the Gym and travel with Pelipper. This Gym appears in ''[[AG010|You Said a Mouthful!]]''.

=====Powerzone Gym=====
This is an unofficial Gym run by [[Jessie]], [[James]], and {{MTR}} in ''[[DP008|Gymbaliar!]]''. They used the Gym as a method of training and building strategies; however, they were on a losing streak until a [[Brock's Croagunk|wild Croagunk]] appeared and was used as Jessie's powerhouse.

=====Kantonian Gym=====
The [[Kantonian Gym]] from {{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}} appeared in ''[[SM118|Aiming for the Top Floor!]]''. In {{aniseries|SM}}, it is run by [[Ryuki]], and is not themed after any Kanto Gym in particular, with its ninja theming being based on assumptions made on Kantonian culture. As a result, there are a few differences between the Kantonian Gym challenge and a typical Gym challenge in {{aniseries|PTS}}. Unlike most Gyms, visitors must face the challenges of the four {{tc|Kantonian Gym|Kantonian Gym Trainers}} before advancing to the Leader. However, these challenges are not [[Pokémon battle]]s, like in the games, but a ninja-themed set of obstacles.

===''Pokémon Horizons: The Series''===
Several Gyms, mostly [[Paldea]]n ones, have been featured in {{aniseries|HZ}}. Since no recurring character in the series has been focusing on collecting Badges, no official Gym battle has occurred; however, Paldean Gyms do play a role in hosting battles for the {{tc|student}}s taking on [[Naranja Academy]]'s [[Tera Training]] course. In these battles, the main goal is not to earn a Badge or even necessarily win, as simply being judged positively by the Gym Leader is what matters in deciding whether a student passed their test battle or not.

===Pokémon Origins===
All eight Kanto Gyms featured in the games {{game|Red and Green|s}} were shown in [[Pokémon Origins]], which primarily showcased {{OBP|Red|Origins}} challenging the [[Pewter Gym]] in ''[[PO01|File 1: Red]]'' and the [[Viridian Gym]] in ''[[PO01|File 3: Giovanni]]''.

Unlike in the {{pkmn|animated series}}, the Gyms closely follow the system utilised in the games, where the challenger is able to use all Pokémon in their team against the [[Gym Leader]]. Gyms also have scoreboards featuring each Trainer's current Pokémon and their remaining [[HP]]. Gym Leaders may also hand out a [[TM]] along with their [[Badge]], and are shown to be capable of altering their Pokémon used in battle, with [[Brock]] choosing two out of six potential Pokémon, and [[Giovanni]] using a different set of Pokémon than those used against his battle with {{OBP|Blue|Origins}}.

==In the manga==
===Pokémon Adventures===
In early arcs of [[Pokémon Adventures]], Gym buildings were likely to be seen only when a character challenged the [[Gym Leader]], as the building would host their Gym battle.

===={{MangaArc|Red, Green & Blue}}====
{{adv|Red}} challenged some [[Gym Leader]]s in their respective Gyms.

===={{MangaArc|Ruby & Sapphire}}====
Roxanne's Gym in [[Rustboro City]] appeared to be retractable, the building acting as both an examination hall and a battlefield.

{{adv|Sapphire}} challenged the eight Gyms of Hoenn, although she only visited the Gym buildings in Rustboro and {{to|Dewford}}, earning the rest of her Badges outside their respective Gyms. The Gyms in {{ci|Petalburg}} and {{to|Lavaridge}} also made brief appearances.

===={{MangaArc|Diamond & Pearl}}====
The Gyms in this arc incorporate the interior layout and obstacles directly from the games.

{{adv|Platinum}} challenged and defeated the [[Sinnoh]] [[Gym Leader]]in their respective Gyms, except she trained with [[Volkner]] and battled him outdoors, earning the {{Badge|Beacon}} without entering the [[Sunyshore Gym]]. The Sunyshore Gym itself was seen in ''[[PS404|Encountering Elekid]]''.

===={{MangaArc|Black & White}}====
The Gyms in this arc incorporate the interior layout and obstacles directly from the games.

{{adv|Black}} challenged the [[Unova]] Gym Leaders, visiting seven of the eight Gyms.

===={{MangaArc|X & Y}}====
Only the [[Santalune Gym]] and [[Lumiose Gym]] appeared in this arc. {{adv|X}} had an unofficial battle with [[Viola]] at her Gym and won.

===={{MangaArc|Sword & Shield}}====
The Gyms with version-exclusive Gym Leaders are shown to take turns in switching between their two types and Leaders.

The eight Gyms of [[Galar]] appeared in this arc, though {{Henry}} was only able to challenge six of them before the [[Galar League|Gym Challenge]] was put on hold due to the impending threat of the [[Darkest Day]]. After the crisis, Henry withdrew from the Gym Challenge, thus never challenging the final two Gyms.

===={{MangaArc|Scarlet & Violet}}====
{{adv|Scarlet}} was convinced by [[Nemona]] to take on the eight Gyms of Paldea, choosing to face the Gym Leaders in the hopes of learning more about the [[treasures of ruin]] that she was looking for.

===Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Adventure!===
[[Hareta]] visited some of Sinnoh's Gyms in [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Adventure!]], though he earned most of their Badges either outside of them or off-panel, and visited three of the Gyms only in a quick montage. The only Gym to receive major focus in the manga was the [[Canalave Gym]].

===Pokémon Zensho===
Seven of the eight Kanto Gyms appeared in [[Pokémon Zensho]], six of which were visited by {{Zensho|Satoshi}}. Of the Gym Leaders whom he didn't meet at their respective Gyms, he battled [[Koga]] at the {{safari|Kanto}} and received [[Sabrina]]'s Badge after saving the [[Silph Co.]] from [[Team Rocket]].

==In the TCG==
In the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]], all Gyms are {{TCG|Stadium card}}s, which provide a specific effect while they are in play.

===Official Gyms===
This listing is of cards based on official Gyms from the [[Pokémon games]] and often focus on the [[type]] speciality of a particular Gym.

==Trivia==
* For ''[[DP008|Gymbaliar!]]'', [[Professor Oak's Big Pokémon Encyclopedia]] is about Gyms. He writes this {{wp|senryū}} about them: 「かてるまで　なんどもちょうせん　ポケモンジム」 ''"Until you win, battle again and again; that is a Pokémon Gym."''
** This is also the episode {{TRT}} set up a fake Gym, with [[Jessie]] acting as its Leader.
* In [[Generation I]], {{DL|List of glitches in Generation I|fishing in statues|a glitch}} allows Trainers to [[fishing|fish]] in the statues at the front of the Gyms.
* As the [[Fighting Dojo]] in Kanto was once official, every region except [[Unova]] and [[Paldea]] has had a {{type|Fighting}} Gym at one time.
** Despite the above fact, there has been a Fighting-type specialist in every region, either as a Gym Leader, an Elite Four member, or Team Star boss.
** A {{pkmn|Trainer}} in the [[Olivine Lighthouse]] also says Jasmine used to specialize in {{type|Rock}} Pokémon. As [[Tyme]] was a former Rock-type Gym Leader in Paldea, meaning every region except [[Unova]] has had a {{type|Rock}} Gym at one time.
*** This excludes [[Alola]], which does not feature any official gyms.
* In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, each Gym's frame is colored according to the type, except for the [[Viridian Gym]], which has no specialist type. The Viridian Gym's frame is green to reflect the Japanese name of its Gym Leader, {{ga|Blue}}, which is "Green".
* In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, [[walking Pokémon]] are not allowed in the [[Blackthorn Gym]] and [[Viridian Gym]] because the flooring is unstable. Coincidentally, both Gyms are the last of the Gyms challenged in Johto and Kanto, respectively.
* Eight of the eleven Unova Gyms serve dual purposes, both as a place of battle and as a service: [[Striaton Gym]] is a restaurant, [[Nacrene Gym]] is a museum and library, [[Castelia Gym]] is a gallery showcasing the paintings of [[Gym Leader]] [[Burgh]], [[Nimbasa Gym]] is a set of roller coasters to go with the Ferris Wheel in [[Nimbasa City]] in {{game|Black and White|s}} or a fashion show catwalk in [[Pokémon Black and White Versions 2|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2]], [[Driftveil Gym]] is a mining operation, [[Mistralton Gym]] is an airplane hangar, [[Aspertia Gym]] is a school, and [[Virbank Gym]] is a music club.
** In Generations V and VI, Gyms do not take on a single appearance, with their look being customized to suit the Gym Leader's specialist type. Gyms previously only had unique designs in Generation II, where the roof colors differed between Gyms.
* In Pokémon Black 2 and White 2, every Gym has, with the exception of [[Aspertia Gym]], a unique remix of the usual Pokémon Gym theme music.
* Alola is the only region introduced in the core series to not feature any Gyms. A similar role is fulfilled by the [[island challenge]]. However, the number of major battles is not the same.

The '''Indigo Plateau''' (Japanese: '''セキエイ{{ruby|高原|こうげん}}''' ''Sekiei Plateau'') serves as the capital for the [[Pokémon League]] in the [[Kanto]] [[region]]. It is the final destination for [[Pokémon Trainer]]s collecting [[Indigo League|Indigo]] or [[Johto League]] [[Badge]]s. This is where the Trainers who have defeated all of the eight [[Gym Leader]]s of either Kanto or [[Johto]] battle against the [[Elite Four]] and the [[Pokémon Champion]]. In the {{pkmn|animated series}}, it is the location of the [[Indigo Plateau Conference]], the [[Kanto Grand Festival]], and the Pokémon League Village.

It is located just north of {{ka|Victory Road}} and {{rt|23|Kanto}}, and east of [[Mt. Silver]]. In the [[Generation I]] games, {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, and [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], the only way to reach the Indigo Plateau is by going through Route 23. In the [[Generation II]] games and {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, the Indigo Plateau is reached by going through {{rt|26|Kanto}}. In all the games, Trainers must venture through Victory Road, a lengthy [[cave]] acting as a final test for Trainers.

The Elite Four must be battled consecutively, with breaks to the [[Pokémon Center]] prohibited. Trainers are unable to go back or return to previous rooms. The only way to open the door and progress through each room is to defeat the Elite Four member of that room. Each member of the Elite Four is stronger than the previous member, and like Gym Leaders, each specializes in a different [[type]].

==Slogan==
'''''The ultimate goal of Trainers!'''''{{sup/1|RBY}}{{sup/3|FRLG}} or '''''The Ultimate Goal for Trainers!'''''{{sup/2|GSC}}{{sup/4|HGSS}} and '''''The highest Pokémon authority!''''' [non-Japanese Generations I and III only] (Japanese, all generations: '''ポケモン　トレーナーの　ちょうてん！''' ''The Pokémon Trainer's zenith!'' and '''ポケモンの　さいこう　きかん''' ''The highest organization on Pokémon'').

==Geography==
===Superstructure===
[[File:Indigo Plateau HGSS.png|thumb|250px|Indigo Plateau in Generation IV]]
In the {{pkmn|games}}, Indigo Plateau is depicted as a large building surrounded by mountainous areas. Indigo Plateau area changes in every generation, however in every generation there is a small area at the entrance that connects the exit of {{ka|Victory Road}} to Indigo Plateau.

In [[Generation I]], there is a narrow passageway, where giant statues act as barriers that lead to the entrance.

In [[Generation II]], the area between Victory Road and Indigo Plateau is shorter and wider, and the statues have been removed only to be replaced by trees.

In [[Generation III]], there is a flight of stairs that leads up to Indigo Plateau from Route 23, with a small area outside the entrance with a couple of giant statues.

In [[Generation IV]], the pathway is the same as Generation II, but much fancier. There are two archways each with a small set of stairs above them and {{i|Poké Ball}} statues that appear left and right across the path. The {{FB|Headbutt|tree}}s on both sides of the path can be {{m|Headbutt}}ed, but they do not contain any [[wild Pokémon]].

In [[Generation VII]], the exterior is highly similar to how it was in Generation III, with several big statues standing on both sides of a flight of stairs, accompanied by multiple lush trees.

On the ground floor is a combined [[Poké Mart]] and [[Pokémon Center]]. This is the last safe stop before Trainers make their way up to the upper floors, therefore, Trainers can purchase and stock up on items, as well as heal their Pokémon before leaving. There are a number of things a {{player}} can do on this floor. A [[Pokémon Center lady]] heals all status conditions, recharges [[HP]] and [[PP]] of all [[party]] Pokémon, free of charge. She is located at the main counter just as the player enters Indigo Plateau. It also hosts the Cable Club and the Union Room, which facilitates multiplayer gameplay and link players to battle and trade one another. Trainers also have access to a [[PC]]. Trainers can also buy items from the Poké Mart. The Poké Mart stocks rare items that can only be found in Indigo Plateau.

In Generation II, the layout of the ground floor is slightly modified, with the Cable Club and the Union Room relocated upstairs. The PC is now located in the middle of the room, while the Pokémon Center lady is located on the left of it, and the Poké Mart is located on the right of it. There is also an old man standing near the counter that will ask the player if they miss their [[Player's house#Johto|home]], and will use an {{p|Abra}} to {{m|Teleport}} the Trainer back to [[New Bark Town]]. He offers this because the Trainer cannot {{m|Fly}} to Johto from the Indigo Plateau. He will disappear after the player defeats the Elite Four and Champion for the first time.

In Generation III, the ground floor is similar to the ground floor in Generation I; however, the Cable Club and the Union Room are relocated upstairs. There are a couple of Trainers waiting or resting from training in {{ka|Victory Road}}.

[[File:Red Rematch Location LGPE.png|thumb|250px|Red's rematch location]]
In Generation IV, the ground floor is revamped with a regal red motif with stairs in the center covered in a red carpet. Like the Pokémon Centers in HeartGold and SoulSilver, the wireless facilities are located in the same room as the Pokémon Center lady, one flight of stairs above. To the right is the Poké Mart and the stairs to the Wi-Fi Club. The man with an Abra is still there, but he won't Teleport the player, saying that intimidated Trainers just Fly back home; in HeartGold and SoulSilver, the player can Fly to any Fly destination in either region from outside the building. To the right of the Abra man is a terminal where the player can compare records with other players that have been contacted wirelessly, similar to the rooms in [[Jubilife TV]].

In Generation VII, the ground floor is a big hall with a mainly golden color scheme, and houses no other features besides the Pokémon Center and the Poké Mart. Like in Generation IV, a red carpet is laid on the floor, stretching from the front door to the entrance to the [[Elite Four]]'s domain. On the west side of the hall is [[Move Reminder|Madame Memorial]], who can teach a Pokémon any of its level-up moves at the cost of one [[Heart Scale]] per taught move. Next to the Poké Mart counter is a {{tc|Super Nerd}}, who offers to [[In-game trade|trade]] the player an {{rf|Alolan}} {{p|Exeggutor}} for a Kantonian Exeggutor as many times as they like. After the player has defeated the Pokémon League, a {{tc|Poké Maniac}} appears in the hall, selling the player all the Kanto Pokémon [[Mega Stone]]s for {{PDollar}}30,000 each, excluding the [[Kanto first partner Pokémon]] and {{p|Mewtwo}} Mega Stones.

Once Trainers climb the first staircase, they will reach the first room, and upon entering the door will lock so they are unable to return. The door to the second room is also locked and the only way to open the door and progress through each room is to defeat the Elite Four member of that room.

In [[Generation I]], {{gen|III}}, and {{gen|VII}}, [[Lorelei]] is in control of this room, thus is the first member of the Elite Four who must be defeated. In Generation II and IV, Will is the Elite Four member present.

In Generation I, the room is filled with [[water tile|water]], with a small bridge connecting the entrance to the battle area—the player can even {{m|Surf}} on it and [[fishing|fish]] in the water, although wild Pokémon can only be encountered by fishing. In Generation III, the room contains ice pillars instead, and does not have any water.

In [[Generation II]], the room is filled with a pool of ice, with a small bridge connecting the entrance to the battle area, where Will is standing.

In [[Generation III]], Lorelei's room is a plain room with six large statues of ice surrounding the battle arena.

In [[Generation IV]], the room has a purple tiled floor, with floating transparent cubes bobbing around the room, rising seemingly from a black pit. The shape of the room is reminiscent of Generation I.

In [[Generation VII]], Lorelei's room now sports an icy blue color scheme, with cold vapor floating in the air and six stylized ice pillars surrounding the battlefield. Lorelei herself is seen sitting on her {{p|Lapras}}, waiting for the next challenger to arrive.

The second room can be accessed after defeating the Elite Four member of the previous room. Like the room before it, the doors to other rooms will lock so Trainers are unable to return or advance forward.

In [[Generation I]], {{gen|III}}, and {{gen|VII}}, [[Bruno]] is the owner of this room, and has designed it according to his {{type|Fighting}} specialties. The room is full of giant boulders that surround the battlefield, and a Pokémon statue in the corner.

In [[Generation II]], Bruno, the former owner of the room has been replaced by [[Koga]], the former [[Gym Leader]], still using his signature {{type|Poison}} Pokémon. The room has been redesigned and customized to meet the needs of his Poison Pokémon, which now has a grassy floor with many trees towering over the area.

In [[Generation III]], Bruno's room changes from the rocky environment it was to a plain room with six large statues of stone surrounding the battle arena.

In [[Generation IV]], Koga once again claims this room. The room is shaped much like his Generation II room. The floor is covered in grass, but this time Koga stands in the middle of a large rectangle of stone. The sides of the room show the shadows of trees. The stone and wall supports are adorned with moss.

In [[Generation VII]], Bruno's room sports a light brown color scheme, with six stylized stone pillars standing around the battlefield. A bright light is shining into the room, shining off the floor and walls.

The third room can be accessed after defeating the Elite Four member of the previous room. Like the room before it, the doors to other rooms will lock so Trainers are unable to return or advance forward.

In [[Generation I]], {{gen|III}}, and {{gen|VII}}, [[Agatha]] is the owner of this room, and has designed it according to her own {{type|Ghost}} specialties. The room is full of giant gravestones that surround the battlefield. There are gravestones on both sides of the battling arena, and a Pokémon statue in the bottom left-hand corner.

In [[Generation II]], Agatha, the former owner of the room has been replaced by [[Bruno]], the former owner of the second room, who has been promoted and has now taken her place, still using his signature {{type|Fighting}} Pokémon. The room has been redesigned and customized now with pools of lava bubbling left and right of the battle arena. There is a narrow bridge connected to the battling arena where Bruno stands waiting for battle.

In [[Generation III]], Agatha's room changes from the eerie environment with gravestones to a plain room with six large statues surrounding the battle arena.

In [[Generation IV]], Bruno has this room, and it once again is roughly the shape of his Generation II room. The pit is once again filled with lava, but two large tubs line the side of the room, giving it an industrial feel.

In [[Generation VII]], Agatha's room has a dark color scheme, with moss growing in between the purple floor tiles. The battlefield is surrounded by six dark, stylized pillars, each of them housing what seems like a {{wp|will-o'-the-wisp}}, giving off an eerie blue light.

The fourth room can be accessed after defeating the Elite Four member of the previous room. However, unlike the previous rooms before it, once a Trainer advances through the doors to the fourth room, they will automatically travel through the room to face off with the final Elite Four member. As such, it would be wise for Trainers to prepare for the final Elite Four member before they enter the fourth room. This will only happen in [[Generation I]] and {{gen|III}}, however. In [[Generation II]] and {{gen|IV}}, the Trainer will advance to the fourth room normally.

In [[Generation I]] and {{gen|III}}, the room enters in a long, narrow pathway that curves around in a sideways 'S' shape. The pathway will end in with a battle arena where [[Lance]] will be standing. There are many Pokémon statues surrounding the battle arena, but these are moved to the pathway in [[Generation III]], and the main battle arena is surrounded by six large fang-shaped statues.

In [[Generation II]], [[Karen]] is the current owner of the fourth room, and it is like any other room within the Elite Four. The room has been redesigned and customized now with a deep, dark pit left and right of the battle arena. There is a narrow bridge connected to the batting arena where Karen stands waiting for battle.

In [[Generation IV]], Karen has this room again. The room is shaped like her old Generation II room. The pit, however, is now filled with blue crystals. The floor is purple with a star pattern and stage curtains are hung behind Karen, corresponding with the movie star look of Karen in this generation.

In [[Generation VII]], although the room is once again housed by Lance, there is no pathway leading up to it, unlike in the previous games where he owns the room. The room has turquoise floor tiles and golden walls. The six pillars standing around the battlefield have a dragon scale pattern on them and four declarations shaped like a dragon's fang at each of their bases. Lance, who is waiting for new challengers at the end of the room, is accompanied by his {{TP|Lance|Dragonite}} standing next to him.

Once a Trainer defeats the final member of the Elite Four, they will go on to the Champion's room. The current Champion awaits in his room for the final battle to unfold. Like the previous four rooms, the Champion's room will automatically direct the Trainer to the Champion.

In [[Generation I|Generations I]], {{gen|III}}, and {{gen|VII}}, the Champion is {{ga|Blue}}{{sup/1}}{{sup/3|FRLG}}/{{ga|Trace}}{{sup/7|PE}}, who had become the {{pkmn|Champion}} just recently. The battlefield is a small room, with two entrances; one that leads from the fourth room, the other leads to the [[Hall of Fame]].

In [[Generation II]] and {{gen|IV}}, the Champion is [[Lance]], formerly the fourth Elite Four member, who continues to use {{type|Dragon}} Pokémon. The room has a long hall decorated with {{p|Dratini}} statues (regular statues in Gold and Silver) left and right of the path. At the end of the hall, the player reaches an elevated part of the room where Lance awaits. Behind him are double doors that lead to the Hall of Fame. In Generation IV, this room is gold-colored, with a red carpet going down the middle and moving gears on the walls.

===Hall of Fame===
[[File:Indigo Plateau Hall of Fame LGPE.png|thumb|250px|The Hall of Fame in Generation VII]]
{{main|Hall of Fame}}
Once the Champion is defeated, there is a great congratulations and the victor will be recorded in the Hall of Fame and made current Champion. The Hall of Fame is a record kept by the [[Pokémon League]] of all the Pokémon Trainers who have ever defeated the Pokémon League. In the hallway to the Hall of Fame recording room, [[Professor Oak]] is present to congratulate the player. It is a fairly large room that only contains a large computer. The Hall of Fame will record the [[Trainer ID number|Trainer's ID number]], name, and [[party]]. For each Pokémon of the player's party, the {{OBP|Pokémon|species|species}}, name, [[gender]], [[level]], and area met are recorded; the gender is not recorded prior to Generation II and the area met is not recorded prior to Generation III.

After becoming Champion, the player returns home, rather than staying at the Pokémon League to fight challengers. Prior to [[Generation VII]], the previous Champion keeps his position. In Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!, however, the player keeps the title of Champion, and {{ga|Trace}} challenges them to retake his title at the end of the gauntlet.

==Trainers==
In [[Generation]]s {{gen|II}} and {{gen|IV}}, {{ga|Silver}} can be {{pkmn|battle}}d here on {{DL|Days of the week|Monday}}s and {{DL|Days of the week|Wednesday}}s following the battle against him at [[Mt. Moon]] (as well as the [[Multi Battle]] against [[Lance]] and [[Clair]] in the [[Dragon's Den]] in Generation IV). Silver will appear to halt the {{player}} for a battle as they walk towards the steps to enter the Elite Four's domain.

In [[Generation VII]], the player can fight {{ga|Red}} outside the Pokémon League building if they have defeated at least six [[Master Trainer]]s and have six Pokémon in their [[party]]. Like during all Master Trainer battles, the player isn't allowed to use [[item]]s from their [[Bag]] during this battle. After being defeated, Red will grant the player the title of [[Pokémon Master|Battle Master]] before leaving, though he will reappear for a [[rematch]] each time the player enters the [[Hall of Fame]].

==In the side series==
[[File:Gym Leader Elite Four Stadium.png|thumb|250px|Indigo Plateau in Pokémon Stadium]]
[[File:Gym Leader Elite Four Stadium 2.png|thumb|250px|Indigo Plateau in Pokémon Stadium 2]]
===Pokémon Stadium series===
{{main|Indigo Plateau/Stadium series}}
Fields based on those of the Indigo Plateau appear in [[Pokémon Stadium]]'s [[Gym Leader Castle]] and {{g|Stadium 2}}'s Johto Gym Leader Castle. Just like in the [[core series]] games, the player has to defeat all the Elite Four members in order to reach the Champion. In the [[Pokémon Stadium series]] games, after defeating the Champion and entering the Hall of Fame, the player earns a special reward.

====Pokémon Stadium====
In Pokémon Stadium, clearing Indigo Plateau earns the player a random [[gift Pokémon]] from eight different possibilities: {{p|Bulbasaur}}, {{p|Charmander}}, {{p|Squirtle}}, {{p|Hitmonlee}}, {{p|Hitmonchan}}, {{p|Eevee}}, {{p|Omanyte}}, or {{p|Kabuto}}.

When the {{ga|Blue|Rival}} is beaten in Round 1, the prize Pokémon will be holding a [[Normal Box]] if traded to [[Generation II]], which contains a [[Decoration#Trophies|Silver Trophy]]. When the Rival is beaten in Round 2, the prize Pokémon will be holding a [[Gorgeous Box]], which contains a [[Decoration#Trophies|Gold Trophy]].

====Pokémon Stadium 2====
In Pokémon Stadium 2, as a reward for clearing Indigo Plateau for the first time in each round, the player unlocks a new mode for the [[Game Boy Tower]]. Clearing Round 1 unlocks either a {{p|Doduo}} Sticker mode (if not all [[Stadium Cup]]s have been beaten) or a {{p|Dodrio}} Sticker mode (if all Stadium Cups have been beaten) in Game Boy Tower for the [[Generation I]] games; clearing Round 2 unlocks the same mode, but for the [[Generation II]] games. Furthermore, the player will be granted access to the Kanto [[Gym Leader Castle]].

Additionally, each time the player clears Indigo Plateau with a team that was not a preregistered team and that contained no rental Pokémon, they are given the opportunity to [[Move Reminder|reteach]] a move to one Pokémon from the victorious team.

==In the spin-off games==
===[[Pokémon Pinball]]===
In {{g|Pinball}}, Indigo Plateau appears on the Red and Blue tables; catchable {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} include {{p|Spearow}}, {{p|Sandshrew}}, {{p|Machop}}, {{p|Geodude}}, {{p|Onix}}, {{p|Pinsir}}, {{p|Ditto}}, {{p|Moltres}}, {{p|Mewtwo}}, and {{p|Mew}}.

===[[Pokémon Masters EX]]===
Artwork of various depictions of the Indigo Plateau is seen in the mindscapes of many Trainers associated with it, including the [[Elite Four]], {{mas|Lance}}, {{mas|Blue}}, {{mas|Kris}}, {{mas|Lyra}}, and {{mas|Chase}}.

===''Pokémon the Series''===
===={{aniseries|OS}}====
Indigo Plateau first appeared at the end of ''[[EP073|Bad to the Bone]]'', after {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} left for the [[Indigo Plateau Conference]]. In the [[EP074|following episode]], Ash and the others helped to run the flame of {{p|Moltres}} to Indigo Stadium, and they officially reached Indigo Plateau. They stayed there until the end of the tournament in ''[[EP080|Friends to the End]]''.

Indigo Plateau is also the home of Pokémon League Village, where Ash, his friends, and all the other {{pkmn|Trainer}}s stayed during the events of the League. In addition to houses for the Trainers to stay in, the Village also contains a [[Pokémon Center]], shops, and restaurants. All League participants dine for free here.

===={{aniseries|RS}}====
[[Fennel Valley]], where the [[Battle Pyramid]] was located for a while, is located nearby.

From ''[[AG180|May, We Harley Drew'd Ya!]]'' to ''[[AG182|Channeling the Battle Zone!]]'', Indigo Plateau hosted the [[Kanto Grand Festival]]. {{an|May}} and her [[rival]]s [[Drew]], [[Harley]], and [[Solidad]] joined the competition along with several other {{pkmn|Coordinator}}s who successfully collected five {{pkmn|Contest}} [[Ribbon]]s from the Kanto region. 270 contestants competed in the preliminary [[Appeal|Appeals Round]], which was held in two separate stadiums, but only 64 advanced to the main competition. In the end, Solidad emerged victorious, earning the [[Ribbon Cup]] and the title of [[Top Coordinator]].

To attend all of the Trainers who come to participate in these events, the local Pokémon Center is larger than most others in the region. It accommodates the Coordinators taking part in the Kanto Grand Festival and it has a dining hall where the party to mark the end of the competition is held.

It hands out [[Pokédex]]es and [[first partner Pokémon]] to new students, such as [[Liko]] and [[Ann]], who started studying there in ''[[HZ001|The Pendant That Starts It All (Part One)]]''. After Liko begun traveling with the [[Rising Volt Tacklers]], she started to attend classes remotely.

{{OBP|Red|Origins}} arrived at Indigo Plateau in ''[[PO04|File 4: Charizard]]'', where he challenged and defeated the Elite Four. Once he had defeated [[Lance]], he found out that he still had to battle the Champion, who turned out to be his rival, {{OBP|Blue|Origins}}. After a hard-fought battle, Red emerged victorious, making him the new Champion and worthy of entering the Hall of Fame.

The battle arenas at the Indigo Plateau seem to have self-repairing systems, automatically fixing any possible damage caused to the arenas during battles.

==In the manga==
===Pokémon Adventures===
[[File:Indigo Plateau Adventures.png|thumb|250px|Indigo Plateau in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
In [[Pokémon Adventures]], every winner of the Indigo Plateau Pokémon League tournament has come from [[Pallet Town]].

===={{MangaArc|Red, Green & Blue}}====
In ''[[PS026|Holy Moltres]]'', [[Team Rocket]] was revealed to have {{pkmn2|caught}} {{DL|Legendary birds (Adventures)|Moltres}} at the Indigo Plateau.

In ''[[PS039|Just a Spearow Carrier]]'' and ''[[PS040|A Charizard...and a Champion]]'', {{adv|Red}} took part in the ninth triennial Indigo League Tournament at the Indigo Plateau. {{adv|Blue}}, {{adv|Green}}, and a masked {{pkmn|Trainer}} called Dr. O also participated in the tournament and made it to the semi-finals, along with Red. Despite his success, Red was dismayed to find out that he and Blue were set up to face each other in the semi-finals instead of the finals.

In the first semi-final battle, Green was defeated by Dr. O, who turned out to be a disguised {{adv|Professor Oak}}, who had exploited his knowledge of Green's {{wp|ornithophobia}}, a result of her being kidnapped by {{p|Ho-Oh|a giant bird Pokémon}} as a toddler, to his advantage by using a {{p|Spearow}} against her. When Professor Oak asked why Green had stolen his [[Blasty|Squirtle]], Green revealed that, as a Pallet Town Trainer like Red and Blue, she had wanted to have the same privilege of owning a [[Pokédex]] and going on an adventure like they had. Professor Oak agreed to this on the condition that Green would not continue stealing things, making her a [[Pokédex holder]] as well.

After Professor Oak withdrew from the competition, having already won himself a championship years before, Red and Blue's semi-final battle was changed into the final battle of the tournament, much to Red's pleasure. Red eventually won the battle, making him a [[Pokémon Champion|Pokémon League Champion]]. Their battle was observed by [[Elite Four#Indigo Elite Four|four shadowy figures]] from the edge of the stadium.

===={{MangaArc|Yellow}}====
In ''[[PS076|Take a Chance on Chansey]]'', [[Agatha]] revealed that she had confronted Professor Oak in the finals of the first triennial Indigo League Tournament, with Oak having emerged victorious after a gruelling eight-hour battle.

===={{MangaArc|Gold, Silver & Crystal}}====
[[File:Indigo Plateau approach Adventures.png|thumb|250px|Indigo Plateau in the {{MangaArc|Gold, Silver & Crystal}}]]
Starting from ''[[PS154|Yikes, It's Yanma!]]'', the Indigo Plateau hosted an {{wp|Exhibition game|exhibition tournament}} between the [[Gym Leader]]s of [[Johto]] and Kanto in order to reveal the identity of the [[Masked Man]]. For the event, the [[Magnet Train]] line was changed to travel through the Pokémon League in order to transport the Gym Leaders there.

The tournament was interrupted when [[Neo Team Rocket]] attacked the stadium by first having {{tc|Executive}}s [[Carl]] and [[Sham]] hack into its systems in ''[[PS164|Slick Slowking]]'', followed by the Gym Leaders being trapped inside the speeding Magnet Train while fighting Neo {{tc|Team Rocket Grunt}}s in ''[[PS165|Lugia and Ho-Oh on the Loose, Part 1]]'', after which the Masked Man himself showed up with {{adv|Tower duo|Lugia and Ho-Oh}}. {{adv|Gold}} and {{adv|Crystal}} fought against the Masked Man, eventually joined by [[Misty]], [[Blaine]], and [[Lt. Surge]], whom the {{adv|Legendary beasts}} had chosen as their masters in preparation for this very moment. Despite being faced by multiple strong opponents, the Masked Man ultimately managed to get away with what he had wanted: the recipe for building the [[GS Ball]] from [[Kurt]], who had been in the audience.

In ''[[PS180|The Last Battle XIV]]'', it was revealed that while the exhibition tournament had been interrupted, [[Clair]] had reported her defeat against Blaine aboard the Magnet Train, meaning that Kanto had won the tournament with four wins, three losses, and one draw. However, due to the damages the stadium had suffered, the actual Pokémon League tournament could not be conducted.

===Pokémon Pocket Monsters===
[[File:Indigo Plateau PM.png|thumb|210px|Indigo Plateau in [[Pokémon Pocket Monsters]]]]
{{PPM|Red}} arrived at the Indigo Plateau in ''[[PM033|To the Pokémon League!!]]'' in order to challenge the Elite Four, managing to defeat [[Lorelei]].

Red returned to the Indigo Plateau in ''[[PM106|A Challenge to the Elite Four!]]'' in order to challenge the Johto Elite Four.
{{-}}

===The Electric Tale of Pikachu===
[[File:Indigo Plateau EToP.png|thumb|210px|Indigo Plateau in [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]]]]
Like in {{aniseries|OS}}, the [[Indigo Plateau Conference]] was held at the Indigo Plateau in this {{pkmn|manga}}, taking place in ''[[ET12|Welcome to the Big Leagues]]'' and ''[[ET13|The Indigo Finals]]''. Although the manga was based on ''Pokémon the Series: The Beginning'', there were still several notable differences between the two, such as {{an|Brock}} and {{an|Misty}} entering the conference as well, and {{Gary}} being defeated by [[Ritchie]] instead of [[Melissa]].
{{-}}

===Pokémon Zensho===
[[File:Indigo Plateau Zensho.png|thumb|210px|Indigo Plateau in [[Pokémon Zensho]]]]
{{Zensho|Satoshi}} went to the Indigo Plateau in ''[[PZ10|Indigo Plateau]]'' to challenge the Elite Four. After defeating the Elite Four, he found out that his rival, {{Zensho|Shigeru}}, had already done that before him, having claimed the title of Pokémon League Champion for himself. After a tough battle between {{Zensho|Satoshi's Charizard}} and Shigeru's {{p|Blastoise}}, Satoshi finally emerged victorious, making him the new Pokémon League Champion. [[Professor Oak]] then arrived to congratulate Satoshi of his victory and to tell him and Shigeru about {{p|Mewtwo}}, prompting the two young {{pkmn|Trainer}}s to head to [[Cerulean Cave]] in order to {{pkmn2|caught|catch}} it.
{{-}}

===Pocket Monsters HGSS Jō's Big Adventure===
[[File:Indigo Plateau JBA.png|thumb|210px|Indigo Plateau in [[Pocket Monsters HGSS Jō's Big Adventure]]]]
The Indigo Plateau appeared in ''[[JBA5|Betting on the Name of the Strongest!]]'', where [[Jō]] defeated the [[Elite Four]] and [[Lance]] with his {{TP|Jō|Totodile}}. Afterwards, he learned about [[Kanto]] and decided to challenge its [[Gym]]s.

==Trivia==
* In [[Generation I]] only, the player will be unable to defeat [[Agatha]] and reach the [[Hall of Fame]] if there are no available moves (with [[PP]] remaining) that can damage {{type|Ghost}} Pokémon, either directly or indirectly such as via {{status|confusion}}. This is due to the fact that in this generation, Ghost-type Pokémon are immune to {{m|Struggle}} (being a {{type|Normal}} move) and all opposing Pokémon have infinite PP. This applies to battles against the {{tc|Channeler}}s in the [[Pokémon Tower]] as well.
** See more details in [[Pokémon Tower#Trivia|Pokémon Tower → Trivia]].
* In all of the [[core series]] {{pkmn|games}} in which Indigo Plateau appears, the first member of the [[Elite Four]] uses both a {{p|Slowbro}} and a {{p|Jynx}} in {{pkmn|battle}}.
* In the [[Generation I]] games and {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, this is the only [[Pokémon League]] where the rooms of the different Elite Four members do not all share the same [[list of overworld music themes|background music]].
** [[Lorelei]]'s room shares its background music with [[Gym]]s, [[Bruno]]'s with the [[Team Rocket Hideout|Rocket Hideout]], [[Agatha]]'s with the [[Pokémon Tower]], and [[Lance]]'s with the rest of Indigo Plateau.
** In Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen, the lobby of Indigo Plateau also shares its background music with Gyms.
* In the [[Generation I]] games, due to an oversight, [[wild Pokémon]] can be found by [[fishing]] in Lorelei's room.
* In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, Indigo Plateau and {{rt|26|Kanto}} are the only locations that can be {{m|Fly|flown}} to from both [[Kanto]] and [[Johto]].
* In HeartGold and SoulSilver, Indigo Plateau is located significantly further south than in any of its other appearances, being located to the southwest of [[Pewter City]] rather than to the northwest. This is likely due to the absence of {{rt|23|Kanto}}.
* In {{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}}, the Indigo Plateau appears as a backdrop in the [[Alola Photo Club]], if the player has a Pokémon who originated from either a [[Generation I]] game or {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}.
