Pokérus

2009-12-16T07:22:56Z

Comwhiz: /* In the anime */

The '''Pokérus''' (Japanese: '''ポケルス''' ''Pokérus'') is a special [[status condition]] that a [[Pokémon]] may get, first appearing in the [[Generation II]] {{pkmn|games}}. Unlike other status conditions, it cannot be healed at a [[Pokémon Center]] or with any [[status ailment healing item]], and can only be obtained by the Pokémon in question once. When a Pokémon has had the Pokérus, it gains double the [[effort points]] (i.e., fighting a {{p|Magikarp}} will give two {{stat|Speed}} EVs, rather than one). The virus takes about two days to wear off of an infected Pokémon, but the period of time can vary.

When it was introduced, the Pokérus had a 3 in 65,536 chance to be on a [[wild Pokémon]]. Through battling or capturing this wild Pokémon, {{player}}s could get this helpful virus onto their own Pokémon, and subsequently spread it around. Due to the overwhelmingly low chance of encountering the virus (about 1/3 of the chance to encounter a {{shiny2}} Pokémon), and the fact that most would not even recognize a Pokémon with the virus and therefore flee from it, however, most players would never have a Pokémon with the virus.

In later generations, the Pokérus became more likely to get, with several event Pokémon during [[Generation III]] having it when transferred into a player's game, and with worldwide trading facilitated by the [[Nintendo DS]]'s Wi-Fi capabilities during [[Generation IV]], it is essentially ubiquitous. In fact, it is common courtesy to infect Pokémon to be traded on the GTS with Pokérus within some parts of the fandom.

==Infection==
When infected, a Pokémon's status screen will indicate it much as it does any other status condition, as PK<sc>rs</sc>. When another normal status condition, such as {{status|Sleep}}, affects the Pokémon, the Pokérus icon will be replaced. As long as the Pokémon is infected with Pokérus, it can spread the virus to the other Pokémon in the player's party. The infection will spread if the infected Pokémon is in the main party after a battle. An uninfected Pokémon must be next to a Pokémon infected with Pokérus in the main party for the virus to spread. If Pokémon that have already been infected and cured from Pokérus are in the main party and are on either side of a Pokémon currently with the disease, Pokérus will not spread after any amount of battles. Pokémon that are put into the [[PC]] will keep the status indefinitely.

===In Generation II===
When the player first encounters the virus in one of the [[Generation II]] games, the nurse at the [[Pokémon Center]] will make note of it when the Pokémon is first healed after contracting it, saying that there are "small life forms" on the Pokémon. After leaving the Pokémon Center, [[Professor Elm]] will call the player to tell them that the virus has no effect and will wear off.
===In Generation III===
The Pokérus operates in much the same way as in Generation II, though it can infect {{pkmn|egg}}s too. Also, it can only be contracted or cured in {{3v2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}. In {{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}}, as well as {{pkmn|Colosseum}} and {{Pokémon XD}}, since the [[time]] function is absent, a Pokémon with Pokérus will keep it indefinitely, until it is transferred to the [[Hoenn]]-based games.
===In Generation IV===
The mechanics remain the same from Generation III. Additionally, much like storage in [[Pokémon Box Ruby & Sapphire]] and in the PC, storage in [[My Pokémon Ranch]] will keep a Pokémon's Pokérus status indefinitely.

It will also double the effects of the new EV increasing items as well.
====Nurse’s comments====
“''Your Pokémon may be infected with Pokérus. Little is know about the Pokérus except that they are microscopic lifeforms that attach to Pokémon. While infected, Pokémon are said to grow exceptionally well.''”

==After having the virus==

Once a Pokémon's immune system has fought off the virus, they cannot spread it further, nor can it be spread to them by other Pokémon. In Generations II and III, a dot will appear on the Pokémon's status screen to indicate that they have had the virus previously, while in Generation IV, it will be a small smiley face. Though the virus is gone, its positive effects will remain, most specifically the ability for that Pokémon to gain double [[EV]]s.

Any Pokémon on the player's party at the moment the system clock reaches midnight after a certain number of days in that position (number of days depends on the strain and generation) will become immune. An easy way to keep a "vessel" for future spreading is to always send the infected Pokémon to the PC, {{pkmn|Daycare}}, {{pkmn|Stadium 2}} (in [[Generation II]]), {{pkmn|Box}} (in [[Generation III]]), or [[My Pokémon Ranch]] (in [[Generation IV]]) before midnight. The game also recognizes immunizing if the system is turned off and on again on the next day.

In [[Generation II]], if a Pokémon with any stage of Pokérus, active or cured, is traded back to [[Generation I]] or withdrawn from Stadium 2 by a Generation I game, all traces of that Pokémon having had the Pokérus will disappear. This is because a Pokémon's Pokérus status is not saved in any form in the Generation I games.

Despite being called a virus, the Pokérus' relationship to its host is more Symbiotic as it helps its host instead of harming it.

==In the anime==
In ''[[H008|Oaknapped]]'', [[Professor Namba]] explained to [[Professor Oak]] that the mysterious viral lifeform Pokérus is an important component of the Pokémon Power Acceleration Project (PPAP), a secret project that aims to infect Pokémon with Pokérus to evolve them at a faster rate. However, all of his specimens have died out. Professor Oak also explains that the term "Pokérus" was coined by combining the words "Pokémon" and "virus" together. Later, Professor Oak began researching about the Pokérus.

Core series

2009-09-15T08:34:18Z

Comwhiz:

{{fan speculation}}
It is not yet known if there will be '''future generations''' of the Pokémon franchise. However, it has been indicated in the past, that not every Pokémon in the {{pkmn|world}} has been discovered yet, and regions to which unknown Pokémon are native are likely to be revealed gradually. The Pokémon franchise remains very profitable for Nintendo and is currently the second best selling video-game franchise, second only to the Mario franchise (which also belongs to Nintendo), meaning that the end of the series is likely still far away.

Currently, there are four [[generation]]s of Pokémon games, each with their own set of then-new Pokémon, moves and several other things that have become the pattern of the [[main series]] so far. Although nothing is known at this time about a possible Generation V or beyond, the patterns which have applied to all four current generations are expected to continue to hold true in the future.

What is so far assumed from the patterns that have run from [[Generation I]] to the present about Generation V and beyond is as follows:
*Initially, there will be two versions of the new game, which will differ in capture rates and [[version exclusives]]. A more extensive third version will be released some time later, in which most Pokémon previously exclusive to one of the two versions will be available, but other Pokémon found in both versions will be missing. In the third version, the outfits of the [[player character]]s and [[rival]] will likely change. There will also probably be an extension to the plot in the third version.
**'''Evidence:''' The three-version formula has been used in every generation, although there remains no third version to {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, and there are four games in Generation I. However, this is most likely because the former games were remakes of the [[Generation I]] games and the latter game was only released in Japan. Since [[Generation III]], the player characters have gotten an outfit change in the third version.
*A new [[region]] will be explored. It will be geographically similar to a real-life region in Japan.
**'''Evidence:''' Each of the four generations has been centered in a new region relative to its time: [[Kanto]] in Generation I, [[Johto]] in Generation II, [[Hoenn]] in Generation III, and [[Sinnoh]] in Generation IV. The similarities to Japan's regions are noted [[Pokémon world in relation to the real world|here]].
*A previously unknown [[Pokémon professor]] will reside in this region and have new {{type2|Grass}}, {{type2|Fire}}, and {{type2|Water}} Pokémon available for the player to select for his or her adventure. The professor will be named after a tree in the English version.
**'''Evidence:''' Professors {{prof|Oak}}, {{prof|Elm}}, {{prof|Birch}}, {{prof|Rowan}} and their [[starter Pokémon]].
*More new Pokémon will be introduced. Some may be [[List of Pokémon with cross-generational evolutions|evolved forms]] or [[Baby Pokémon|pre-evolutions]] of Pokémon now known. The amount of new Pokémon introduced will likely not be below 100 or above 150. Specifically, a dual-typed {{2t|Normal|Flying}} bird Pokémon will be introduced along with a mammal-based {{type2|Normal}} Pokémon.
**'''Evidence:''' Each generation after the first has introduced at least two Pokémon related to those of previous generations. The amount of Pokémon released each generation was 151 (150 before {{p|Mew}}), 100, 135 and 107. As for the birds and mammals, in each generation there has been one of each introduced:
***'''[[Generation I]]''': {{p|Pidgey}} and {{p|Rattata}}. {{p|Spearow}} was also introduced in this generation.
***'''[[Generation II]]''': {{p|Hoothoot}} and {{p|Sentret}}
***'''[[Generation III]]''': {{p|Taillow}} and {{p|Zigzagoon}}
***'''[[Generation IV]]''': {{p|Starly}} and {{p|Bidoof}}
*The new [[regional Pokédex]] will begin with the starter Pokémon and their evolutionary kin as #001-#009, in the order of Grass-Fire-Water. It will lack at least some Pokémon. The [[National Dex]] numbers of new Pokémon will start with #494 for the Grass-type starter and continue on at least up to #593 if at least 100 Pokémon are added.
**'''Evidence:''' [[List of Pokémon by Hoenn Dex number|Hoenn's regional Pokédex]] leaves out 184 Pokémon. [[List of Pokémon by Sinnoh Dex number|Sinnoh's regional Pokédex]] leaves out 342 Pokémon in {{2v2|Diamond|Pearl}} and 283 Pokémon in {{v2|Platinum}}.
*The new region may feature new evolutions of {{p|Eevee}} and new [[Fossil|Fossil Pokémon]].
**'''Evidence: '''Both have happened in three out of the four released generations.
*There will be eight Pokémon [[Gym]]s and an [[Elite Four]], of which each will specialize in a specific [[elemental type]], and a [[Champion]] at the end of the [[Elite Four]]. There will also be an evil team that the player will battle and eventually defeat after a battle with its leader.
**'''Evidence:''' This is part of the standard [[version]] formula.
*A new form of {{p|Pikachu}} will be introduced. This does not mean Pikachu will have new forms per se, but Pokémon strongly resembling or related to Pikachu will be introduced in the new generation.
**'''Evidence:'''
***'''[[Generation I]]''': {{p|Pikachu}} and its evolutionary form, {{p|Raichu}}, were introduced.
***'''[[Generation II]]''': Pikachu's baby form, {{p|Pichu}}
***'''[[Generation III]]''': {{p|Plusle}} and {{p|Minun}}
***'''[[Generation IV]]''': {{p|Pachirisu}}, [[Notched-ear_Pichu|Notched-eared Pichu]] and [[Pikachu-colored_Pichu#Shokotan_Pichu|Pikachu-colored Pichu]]

*There will be an {{pkmn|anime}} season or series. In it {{Ash}} will travel to a new region, bringing his Pikachu, and will capture the resident bird Pokémon and at least one [[Starter Pokémon]]. He will have a team consisting of {{AP|Pikachu}}, the bird Pokémon, a {{type2|Water}} Pokémon, a {{type2|Grass}} Pokémon, a {{type2|Fire}} Pokémon, and another Pokémon. He will challenge the [[Gym]]s of the region. He may receive new [[Ash's friends|traveling companions]], and might get a new outfit made by [[Delia Ketchum|his mother]] at the beginning of the new series
**'''Evidence:''' This has happened to every [[Version|main game]] and [[generation]] since {{2v2|Red|Blue}} in [[Generation I]].
*There will be some new [[manga]] produced, some [[Pokémon Special]] chapters written, and new [[Pokémon Trading Card Game|TCG]] cards created.
**'''Evidence:''' This has happened to every [[Version|main game]] and [[generation]] since {{v2|Red and Blue|s}} in [[Generation I]].
*{{p|Pikachu}} will be found in the new region.
**'''Evidence:''' The series mascot can be caught in every portable Pokémon game, except {{game|Yellow}} where it is the starter.
*The evolutionary families of {{p|Geodude}}, {{p|Abra}}, {{p|Zubat}}, {{p|Machop}}, {{p|Psyduck}}, {{p|Goldeen}}, {{p|Tentacool}}, {{p|Magikarp}}, and possibly {{p|Magnemite}} and {{p|Rhyhorn}} will be included within the new region.
**'''Evidence:''' There has not been one [[sea route]] yet where Magikarp or Tentacool/{{p|Tentacruel}} hasn't been found. Magikarp is always catchable with the [[Old Rod]] as well. Goldeen is a common fishing Pokémon as well. Zubat and Geodude or their evolutions can be found in nearly every cave, along with Machop or Abra occasionally. Psyduck is common around lakes or in [[Safari Zone]]s. Magnemite may also be included in an industrial type location, like a [[Power Plant]]. This isn't certain as it was not included in the original [[Sinnoh]] Pokédex, but was later included in the {{v2|Platinum}} Sinnoh Pokédex addition.
*There will be at least one [[legendary trio]] in the next generation, as well as at least one Über legendary and one [[event Pokémon]]. In total, there will be more than 14 new legendary Pokémon.
**'''Evidence:''' Generation I has exactly one of each of the above, and all subsequent generations have expanded on this number in some way. The number of new legendaries has increased for each Generation: 5 in Generation I, 6 in Generation II, 10 in Generation III and 14 in Generation IV.
*The new generation will be playable on a new handheld game system.
**'''Evidence:''' Every new generation so far has been released for the newest Nintendo handheld console relative to its time.
***{{game3|Red and Blue|Pokémon Red, Blue|s}} {{game3|Red and Green|Green|s}} and {{v2|Yellow}} for the [[Game Boy]].
***{{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}} for the [[Game Boy Color]].
***[[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire Versions|Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire]], {{3v2|FireRed|LeafGreen|Emerald}} for the [[Game Boy Advance]].
***[[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Versions|Pokémon Diamond, Pearl]], {{v2|Platinum}}, [[Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver Versions|HeartGold, and SoulSilver]] for the [[Nintendo DS]].
*The new generation will introduce some new battling mechanics, and will likely have graphical improvements.
**'''Evidence''': This has happened in every generation since the first.
***[[Gen II]]: Introduced a split in {{stat|Special}} into {{stat|Special Attack}} and {{stat|Special Defense}}, as well as other additions, such as [[weather conditions]] and held items. Also, introduced animated sprites and slightly better graphics.
***[[Gen III]]: Introduced [[Ability|abilities]], and reorganized [[Effort values|EVs]] and [[Individual values|IVs]]. Graphics were greatly improved from Gen II as well.
***[[Gen IV]]: Redefined the difference between [[Physical move|Physical]] and [[Special move|Special]] attacks. Introduced 3D environments and made graphics more realistic and less cartoony.
*Before the first duo of games is released, at least three Pokémon of the next generation will appear in the anime first, at least one of which will appear prior to their official debut or fairly unannounced. As of late, they will likely debut in a movie, then possibly shortly afterwards be captured by a main character.
**'''Evidence:''' This has happened to every generation yet aside from the first:
***[[Gen II]]: {{p|Ho-Oh}} in ''[[EP001|Pokémon - I Choose You!]]'', {{p|Togepi}} in ''[[EP050|Who Gets To Keep Togepi?]]'', {{p|Marill}} and {{p|Snubbull}} in ''[[PK01|Pikachu's Vacation]]'', {{p|Donphan}} in ''[[Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'', and {{p|Lugia}} and {{p|Slowking}} in ''[[The Power of One]]''.
***[[Gen III]]: {{p|Kecleon}} in ''[[EP205|The Kecleon Caper]]'', {{p|Wynaut}} in ''[[EP251|Beauty is Skin Deep]]'', {{p|Azurill}} in ''[[PK11|Pikachu's PikaBoo]]'', and {{p|Blaziken}} in ''[[EP265|Pop Goes the Sneasel]]''.
***[[Gen IV]]: {{p|Munchlax}} in ''[[Destiny Deoxys]]'', {{p|Lucario}}, {{p|Bonsly}}, {{p|Mime Jr.}}, and {{p|Weavile}} in ''[[Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]'', and {{p|Buizel}}, {{p|Chatot}}, {{p|Mantyke}}, and {{p|Manaphy}} in ''[[Pokémon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea]]''.
* Somewhere between the beginning of the main games and the third Gym will be a forest/woods. The forest/woods will most likely be named according to a nearby town.
**'''Evidence:''' Every generation has had some sort of forest or woods, with [[Ilex Forest]] of the Johto region being the only one not named after a nearby location.
*There will be at least 20 numbered routes within the games. These include surfing routes, among other things. There will also be at least one cave as well as a [[Victory Road]].
**'''Evidence:''' There has been a cave, sea route, and at least 19 other routes in every main game.
* There will be remakes of the first 2 main series games from two generations ago. This will most likely be Ruby and Sapphire.
**'''Evidence:''' [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions|FireRed and LeafGreen]] during [[Generation III]] and [[Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver Versions|HeartGold and SoulSilver]] during [[Generation IV]]. However, unless the fourth generation is incapable of trading with games in the fifth, this may not happen, as the generations that were given remakes were unable to trade with the subsequent generation.

'''Heatran''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ヒードラン''' ''Heatran'') is a dual-type {{2t|Fire|Steel}} [[legendary Pokémon]].

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

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Heatran is a tortoise-like creature with a reddish-brown body that has orange and gray spots. Heatran has metal bangles locked on its legs and the four claws on each of its feet are in a cross formation. Heatran has a gray underside, its face is covered by an iron mask and it has red-orange eyes. Whenever it is seen with its mouth open, an orange glow eminates from inside it. Because of its intense body heat, certain parts of its body are melted slightly out of shape.

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

====Special abilities====
Heatran can use its cross-shaped claws to dig deep into walls and ceilings and crawl up on them.

Heatran mainly attacks by using {{t|Fire}}-type attacks such as {{m|Flamethrower}} and {{m|Fire Fang}}, but it also knows a couple of {{t|Steel}}-type moves like {{m|Iron Head}} and {{m|Flash Cannon}}. Heatran can use some {{t|Rock}} and {{t|Ground}}-type attacks, such as {{m|AncientPower}}, {{m|Stone Edge}}, {{m|Earth Power}} and {{m|Earthquake}}.

Heatran is the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] that learns {{m|Magma Storm}}.

===Behavior===

==Trivia==
* Heatran is the first, and so far only, legendary Pokémon that can either be male or female.
* No other Pokémon has the same [[elemental types|type]] [[List of Pokémon with unique type combinations|combination]] as Heatran.
* Heatran is the only Pokémon to take less than normal damage from both {{t|Dragon}}- and {{type2|Fire}} moves, and that only occurs because of its ability, which gives immunity to {{type2|Fire}} moves.
** Heatran and {{p|Empoleon}} are the only non-{{type2|Ice}}s to have a 1/4 resistance to Ice.
* Heatran is the only Pokémon that is not a {{type2|Rock}} that learns {{m|Stone Edge}} by level, not counting {{p|Steelix}} because it evolves from the {{type2|Rock}} {{p|Onix}}.
* Heatran is the last {{type2|Fire}} Pokémon and the last {{type2|Steel}} Pokémon in [[National Dex]] order.
* Heatran has the highest {{stat|Special Attack}} of any {{type2|Fire}} Pokémon.
* Heatran is the seventh heaviest Pokémon.
* If Heatran faints in a battle when the player is trying to catch it, it will appear again in Stark Mountain in one week.
* Despite being unable to breed, Heatran is tied with {{p|Manaphy}} for the fastest hatch time among [[legendary Pokémon]] at only 11 [[egg cycle]]s.
===Origin===
Heatran could be based on a mythical {{wp|Salamander (legendary creature)|salamander}}, a giant lizard of folklore made completely of lava and fire.
====Name origin====
Its name comes from the words ''{{wp|heat}}'' and possibly ''transfer''. The "-tran" may also come from ''{{wp|Transition metal|transition metal}}'', referring to its status as a {{type2|Steel}} (note that steel itself is not a transition metal, but an {{wp|Alloy|alloy}} of {{wp|Iron|one}}). The "doran" in its Japanese name can also be read as "dran", so it may be a combination of "heat" and "'''dra'''go'''n'''".

==In other languages==
*[[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Heatran
*[[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Heatran
*[[List of Korean Pokémon names|Korean]]: 히드런 ''Hedrun''
*[[List of Chinese Pokémon names|Chinese]] (Taiwan and Hong Kong): 席多藍恩 ''Xíduōlán'ēn''

Victory Road (Sinnoh)

{{outdated}}
{{Infobox location
|image=Victory road sinnoh.PNG
|image_size=256
|type=cave
|location_name=Victory Road
|japanese_name=チャンピオンロード
|translated_name=Champion Road
|location={{si|Pokémon League}}
|region=Sinnoh
|generation={{gen|IV}}
}}

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

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

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

==Trivia==
* When picking up the {{DL|In-battle effect item|Leftovers}}, the game will say "Obtained '''the''' Leftovers", instead of "a" or "an".
* In {{game|Platinum}}, [[Black Belt]] Eddie in the Post-[[National Pokédex|National Dex]] Area will, after being defeated in battle, say "Done in", with improper spacing which looks like random letters.
* Strangely, many Trainers can be found in the Victory Road despite the 7th [[Gym Leader]], [[Volkner]], saying that he had defeated many past challengers easily (and hence they would not have obtained the [[Beacon Badge]] that allows them to use {{m|Waterfall}} to enter Victory Road), and the player is the first one in quite some time to pose a challenge to him.

[[File:LedgePt.png|200px|thumb|A ledge on [[Route 203]]]]
'''Ledges''' are a common feature of the geography of the Pokémon world. They can be found on most [[route]]s where they serve as a one-way obstacle as the player can jump down the ledge but is never able to climb back up. Generally, they are designed to make returning from an area easier than getting there - removing the need to walk through [[tall grass]] in one direction or providing a quick route back to the start from the innermost part of a cave.

However, Trainers can jump ''up'' ledges by executing a bunny hop or a sideways hop using an [[Acro Bike]].

'''Vui''' (Japanese: '''ブイ ''' ''Vui'') is a [[Pokémon]] owned by {{Special|Red}} in the [[Pokémon Special]] {{pkmn|manga}}.

==History==
[[File:Vui.PNG|thumb|left|As an Eevee]] [[File:Vuivaporeon.PNG|thumb|right|As a Vaporeon]]
Vui is an Eevee that was experimented by [[Team Rocket]] [[Eevee Bio-Engineering Scheme|gaining the ability to freely change]] from {{p|Eevee}} into any of its three evolutions: {{p|Vaporeon}}, {{p|Jolteon}} and {{p|Flareon}} and back.

Vui first appeared in ''[[PS019|Blame it on Eevee]]''. When Red tried to challenge [[Erika]] she stated that wouldn't battle him unless he was able to capture any Pokémon of her choice and sent him to catch an Eevee. Red, with the help of [[Bill]] tried to battle him, but for every Pokémon that was sent out Vui would turn into the evolved form that could give the upper hand in terms of type. This ability confused both of them at first, but Bill eventually realized his ability and Red managed to discover a way of keeping Vui from sensing the type of Pokémon sent out by him and thus being able to capture it.

It was later used alongside Red's other Pokémon to battle Team Rocket members, who were pursuing {{p|Articuno}} in the [[Seafoam Islands]]. Soon after Red sent him to storage, after restoring [[Aero]] in [[Cinnabar Island]]. It is later discovered that when Red had sent him to Professor Oak, he had been captured by Team Rocket. Later on, Red had rescued him in ''[[PS033|The Winged Legends]]''. Red also used Vui to battle [[Bruno]] on [[Cerise Island]], taking advantage of his ability to change into his evolutions, which was enhaced since Red had three of the [[Vermilion Harbor]] evolutionary stones.

Vui was used on Red's test to become Viridian City's Gym Leader, and defeated the last of the Association's Pokémon, {{p|Porygon2}}. It was his first appearance as an {{p|Espeon}} and was not identified as Vui, but Red expressed that he clearly had much trust in the Pokémon. Red later explained to Sabrina that the Pokémon was, in fact Vui after evolving into Espeon, losing his ability to change into his {{t|Fire}}, {{t|Water}}, and {{type2|Electric}} evolutions.

==Hi==
I noticed you have been editing the <code>User:</code> namespace a lot recently. You may not be aware of this, but Bulbapedia has a {{bp|Userspace policy}} that asks users to try and minimize the number of userspace edits they make in a short period of time. Instead of making multiple edits, why not use the Preview button (Alt + Shift + P) located right next to the edit button to look at your page and see how it is coming? That way, your page can look great while staying within the required amount of edits. Instead of editing the userspace, as a wiki, we encourage users to edit the mainspace. So, if you edit the mainspace more often, you will be allowed to edit the userspace more. Thanks! --[[User:Force Fire|'''F''']][[Ho-Oh (Pokémon)|orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F''']][[Lugia (Pokémon)|ire]] 08:45, 13 July 2009 (UTC)

== Usertag creation ==

Just a heads up, we have recently added the {{bp|usertag policy}}. Per this new policy, all usertags must first be made in the <code>User:</code> namespace, not the <code>Template:</code> namespace. Thus, the usertag you recently created can now be found at [[User:Comwhiz/User Sports Are Stupid]]. I have already corrected the inclusion on your userpage. Thanks, - [[User:Kogoro|'''<sc>Kogoro</sc>''']] '''|''' [[User talk:Kogoro|'''<sc>Talk to me</sc>''']] - 08:55, 13 July 2009 (UTC)

== Talk page comment removal ==

They're gonna have to stay. We keep everything as part of a history of what's been said to who, and why. This helps with organisation. Please keep them there. —'''darklord[[User talk:The dark lord trombonator|trom]]''' 07:46, 3 August 2009 (UTC)
:Without wanting to bring up names of long ago, {{u|Big Johnno|people}} have been blocked for persisting with this. I don't want the same to happen to you. —'''darklord[[User talk:The dark lord trombonator|trom]]''' 07:48, 3 August 2009 (UTC)

== Whoops ==

Oops sorry. Just wanted to remove the Welcome thing. [[User:Comwhiz|samurai girl]] 07:52, 3 August 2009 (UTC)
:Can't do that either. You'd think removing it would imply reading it all through and through. Clearly you haven't, because your signature {{bp|signature policy|doesn't quite scratch up}}. Please reflect your '''username''', not whatever's running through your head. And again, no. Don't remove the welcome. It may come in useful down the track. —'''darklord[[User talk:The dark lord trombonator|trom]]''' 07:54, 3 August 2009 (UTC)

I noticed you have been editing the <code>User:</code> namespace a lot recently. You may not be aware of this, but Bulbapedia has a {{bp|Userspace policy}} that asks users to try and minimize the number of userspace edits they make in a short period of time. Instead of making multiple edits, why not use the Preview button (Alt + Shift + P) located right next to the edit button to look at your page and see how it is coming? That way, your page can look great while staying within the required amount of edits. Instead of editing the userspace, as a wiki, we encourage users to edit the mainspace. So, if you edit the mainspace more often, you will be allowed to edit the userspace more. Thanks! --[[User:Force Fire|'''F''']][[Ho-Oh (Pokémon)|orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F''']][[Lugia (Pokémon)|ire]] 08:45, 13 July 2009 (UTC)

== Usertag creation ==

Just a heads up, we have recently added the {{bp|usertag policy}}. Per this new policy, all usertags must first be made in the <code>User:</code> namespace, not the <code>Template:</code> namespace. Thus, the usertag you recently created can now be found at [[User:Comwhiz/User Sports Are Stupid]]. I have already corrected the inclusion on your userpage. Thanks, - [[User:Kogoro|'''<sc>Kogoro</sc>''']] '''|''' [[User talk:Kogoro|'''<sc>Talk to me</sc>''']] - 08:55, 13 July 2009 (UTC)

== Talk page comment removal ==

They're gonna have to stay. We keep everything as part of a history of what's been said to who, and why. This helps with organisation. Please keep them there. —'''darklord[[User talk:The dark lord trombonator|trom]]''' 07:46, 3 August 2009 (UTC)
:Without wanting to bring up names of long ago, {{u|Big Johnno|people}} have been blocked for persisting with this. I don't want the same to happen to you. —'''darklord[[User talk:The dark lord trombonator|trom]]''' 07:48, 3 August 2009 (UTC)

'''Red''' (Japanese: '''レッド''' ''Red'') is the first main character of the manga series [[Pokémon Special]]. His first [[Pokémon]] was a {{p|Poliwag}}, which [[evolution|evolved]] into a {{p|Poliwhirl}} when saving him from drowning.

Red is eleven years old at the beginning of [[Generation I]]. He is first seen in ''[[PS001|Glimpse of the Glow]]'', when he shows a group of children the proper way to catch a Pokémon. He demonstrates by using his Poliwhirl to {{pkmn|battle}} a {{pkmn2|wild}} {{p|Nidorino}}. Red is very sentimental, as shown in the battle versus {{Special|Green}} in the ninth annual [[Pokémon League]] tournament. He believes that defeating an opponent is no fun if they are at a disadvantage, as seen in both ''[[PS003|The Secret of Kangaskhan]]'' and ''[[PS023|Make Way for Magmar!]]''. At the beginning of the series, he is quite cocky, as shown in ''[[PS008|Suddenly Starmie]]''. However, this cockiness has subsided by the end of the RGB Saga.

Red's special skill, as described by [[Professor Oak]], is Pokémon battling. As such, he is called the '''"Fighter'''" (戦う者 ''Fighter'').

In later adventures, Red has been viewed as a leader amongst the [[Pokédex]] holders, second only to [[Professor Oak]].

=={{Special|Red, Green & Blue chapter}}==
[[‎Image:Pokémon_Adventures_Red_3.40.PNG|left|thumb|Red in the first chapter]]
In this saga, Red is the main protagonist. His main rival is {{Special|Green}}. Red set off across [[Kanto]] to collect the [[Gym Badge]]s to enter the Pokémon League tournament. Along the way, he learns of [[Team Rocket]] by befriending the [[Cerulean City]] [[Gym Leader]] [[Misty]] in ''[[PS006|Gyarados Splashes In!]]'' and training with her in ''[[PS008|Suddenly Starmie]]''.

Later, Red has his Badges stolen by a mischievous trainer called {{Special|Blue}}. Eventually, Red, Green, and Blue team up to defeat Team Rocket's admins—[[Lt. Surge]], [[Koga]], and [[Sabrina]], who were using the [[Legendary Birds]] to take over [[Saffron City]]. Red also meets [[Blaine]], and helps him capture the escaped experimental Pokémon {{p|Mewtwo}}, so that Blaine can cure them of the empathic connection they share.

Red later encounters {{Special|Yellow}} in [[Viridian Forest]] and finds that Team Rocket has been releasing abused Pokémon into the Forest to make them stronger. Red meets [[Giovanni]] and defeats him in an intense battle.

With the badges he gained, Red is able to enter the Pokémon League and emerge as a Champion of the 9th Pokémon League competition. This makes him interesting to the [[Elite Four]].

=={{Special|Yellow chapter}}==
Red was challenged by the Elite Four, who wanted him to join them in their quest to wipe out humanity. When he refused, [[Lorelei]] froze him in a block of ice. Only [[Pika]] escaped and made it to Yellow. Giovanni rescued him and he sought out his friends who are fighting the Elite Four.

=={{Special|Gold, Silver & Crystal chapter}}==
Red is offered the newly open position of Viridian City Gym Leader, but has to turn it down due to injuries from being frozen. He leaves to recuperate at the springs in [[Mt. Silver]]. Later, he and the other main characters team up with several [[legendary Pokémon]] to help fight the [[Mask of Ice]]. At the end of the story, {{Special|Gold}} becomes impressed with Red and goes to train under him at Mt. Silver.

=={{Special|FireRed & LeafGreen chapter}}==
Red, Green, and Blue return to visit Professor Oak, who was kidnapped to make [[Pokédex]]es for Team Rocket and taken to the [[Sevii Islands]]. There at the islands, Red, Blue, and Green fight the new Team Rocket Admins, the [[Beast Warrior Trio]], as well as {{p|Deoxys}}, who is under control of Giovanni. Red undergoes special training on the second Sevii Island where his {{p|Venusaur}} learns the legendary {{type2|Grass}} move {{m|Frenzy Plant}}. However, he is still defeated by Deoxys, who he shares a strange connection with.

Mewtwo shows up and offers to battle under Red's command to get revenge on Deoxys. Mewtwo manages to defeat Deoxys on the Team Rocket helicopter. However, one of the Beast Warrior Trio has placed his {{p|Forretress}} all over the helicopter and ordered them to use {{m|Explosion}}, and while Deoxys transports everyone else aboard to safety, Red stays behind to defeat the Forretress and stop the aircraft from blowing up over [[Vermilion City]].

He later discovers that Deoxys absorbed Red's blood when it broke free from Team Rocket's lab.

At the end of the saga, Red is turned to stone along with the other main characters by Sird's beam intended for Deoxys.
In the Emerald chapter, Red along with Blue, Green, Silver, and Yellow are on the [[S.S. Tidal]] in boxes (still statues) for the wedding ceremony at the {{ho|Battle Frontier}} for their salvation.

=={{Special|Emerald chapter}}==
For most of this chapter, Red, along with five other Pokédex holders, remain frozen in stone. It was only at nearly the end of the chapter that he and the others were liberated by {{Special|Emerald}} with the help of the wish-granting [[legendary Pokémon]] {{p|Jirachi}}.

Red's Pokémon nicknames are taken from two syllables from their Japanese language-version names.

* {{p|Bulbasaur}} → {{p|Ivysaur}} → {{p|Venusaur}}♂ ([[Saur]]; フッシー ''Fusshii'')
Saur was the Pokémon Red received from [[Professor Oak]]. It is one of his most powerful team members and has defeated [[Green's Charizard]] in battle. [[Professor Oak]] gave it to him because Red figured out how to let it use its powerful {{m|SolarBeam}} attack to a {{p|Machoke}} they encountered in the [[Viridian City]] Gym. In the [[Sevii Islands]], Saur learned {{m|Frenzy Plant}}. Debuted and captured as Bulbasaur in ''[[PS002|Bulbasaur, Come Home!]]''.
* {{p|Poliwag}} → {{p|Poliwhirl}} → {{p|Poliwrath}}♂ ([[Poli]]; ニョロ ''Nyoro'')
Poli is Red's first Pokémon, and has been with him since early childhood. Poli is very loyal and evolved to save Red from drowning twice. He excels at physical attacks, as well as {{m|Ice Beam}}. It debuted as Poliwhirl in ''[[PS001|A Glimpse of the Glow]]''. Captured as Poliwag before ''[[PS001|A Glimpse of the Glow]]''.
* {{p|Pikachu}}♂ ([[Pika]]; ピカ ''Pika'')
Pika was once a mischievous Pokémon that terrorized [[Pewter City]] stealing food, causing trouble, and shocking people. Pika befriended Yellow, and mated with Yellow's Pikachu, Chuchu to produce Gold's Pichu. When Pika was accidentally traded to Green, it was taught a variety of different moves, such as Substitute and Toxic. Under Yellow's care, it later learned how to Surf. Debuted and captured in ''[[PS004|Wanted: Pikachu!]]''.
* {{p|Gyarados}}♂ ([[Gyara]]; ギャラ ''Gyara'')
Gyara once belonged to [[Misty]], but it was captured and experimented on by [[Team Rocket]] to make it more fierce. Red recaught it when it was out of control and gave it back to Misty. Later, when Red was unable to get the Surf HM, Misty traded Gyara for Red's Krabby so that Red could reach Cinnabar Island. Debuted in ''[[PS006|Gyarados Splashes In!]]''.
* {{p|Snorlax}}♂ ({{Special|Lax}}; ゴン ''Gon'')
Red caught Lax because he was blocking the road during a bicycle race. Lax is very gluttonous and is driven into a frenzy by the smell of honey. Later, after extensive training, Lax becomes one of the most physically powerful members of Red's team.
* {{p|Aerodactyl}}♂ ([[Aero]]; プテ ''Pte'')
Red acquired Aero when [[Blaine]] resurrected him from a piece of Old Amber on Cinnabar Island to help Blaine fight off a Moltres that Team Rocket had captured. Red uses Aero whenever he needs to get somewhere by flying.

* '''Vui''' - A Pokémon experimented on by Team Rocket that Red captured under Erika's direction. It was genetically modified to have unstable DNA, allowing it to evolve and devolve from Eevee, to Jolteon, Flareon, and Vaporeon when exposed to new stones. Later, Red was able to heal its emotional trauma and it permanently evolved into Espeon. Red adds Vui to his team whenever Pika is with Yellow or needs a rest. Captured in ''[[PS019|Blame it on Eevee]]''.
* '''Diglett''' - A minor Pokémon that Red caught after he and Green accidentally switched Pokémon. So far, he has only used it while battling Eevee. Captured in ''[[PS018|A Tale of Ninetales]]''.
* '''Sandshrew''' - Red occasionally uses this Pokémon to fight Fire-types.
* '''Nidorino''' - Red caught this Pokémon to demonstrate his capture abilities in Pallet Town to some children, but never used it since then. Debuted and captured in ''[[PS001|A Glimpse of the Glow]]''.

===Status unknown===
This is a listing of Pokémon, which Red caught but they were not listed in the all character Pokémon listings in the end of Volume 15. Since then, it's possible that Red released them.

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

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

However, at times, {{p|Pikachu}} has lived up to its species' frail and brittle strengths, particularly in Gym battles where it was defeated with relative ease by its opponent; for example, it was overpowered very easily by [[Lt. Surge's Raichu]], [[Sabrina's Kadabra]], [[Blaine's Magmar]], [[Falkner's Pidgeot]], [[Bugsy]]'s {{p|Scyther}}, [[Whitney's Miltank]], [[Clair's Dragonair]], [[Roark's Rampardos]] and [[Fantina's Drifblim]]. It also drew against [[Winona]]'s {{p|Pelipper}}, and struggled against [[Crasher Wake's Floatzel]].

Pikachu is extremely loyal to Ash, and while it is not always immediately trusting of strangers, it is generally friendly to humans and Pokémon alike. It acted as a guardian and big sibling to [[Misty's Togepi]], and has been seen mediating and even breaking up fights among other Pokémon, such as in ''[[PK01|Pikachu's Vacation]]''. In ''[[Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'', Pikachu, {{MTR}}, and Meowth's clone were the only Pokémon not to participate in the giant battle; Pikachu stood motionless as its clone repeatedly slapped its face.

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

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

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

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

Pikachu took a liking to Misty very early in the series, and it has retained this liking of Misty throughout the series, such as when it was very happy to see her in ''[[AG132|The Scheme Team]]''.

Pikachu became the second non-legendary Pokémon to defeat a [[legendary Pokémon]] in the anime after {{AP|Charizard}}, beating [[Brandon's Regice]] in ''[[AG190|Pace - The Final Frontier]]'', giving Ash his final [[Symbol|Frontier Symbol]].

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

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

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

Pikachu's next major battle after Fantina was when it was used against [[Paul]] in [[DP132]]. First it went up against {{TP|Paul|Magmortar}}; however, when it attacked with {{m|Quick Attack}}, it was {{status|burn}}ed by Magmortar's {{a|Flame Body}} and Magmortar was recalled before Pikachu could defeat it. Later it went up against Paul's very powerful {{TP|Paul|Ursaring}} and {{status|Paralysis|paralyzed}} it with Pikachu's {{a|Static}}. This actually made things worse for Pikachu as being paralyzed activated Ursaring's {{a|Guts}} ability, and Pikachu found itself completely outmatched by Ursaring's massive power and was defeated and thrown into [[Lake Acuity]], taking it out of the match as well as injuring it.

====Moves improvised====
An attack where Pikachu stored electricity in its tail similar to {{m|Tail Whip}} (although Tail Whip doesn't do any damage) was used to defeat [[Lt. Surge's Raichu]] in ''[[EP014|Electric Shock Showdown]]''

Thunder Armor was a one-time technique in the episode ''[[AG100|Solid as a Solrock]]'', Pikachu is seen using Thunder on itself while riding Ash's Swellow. This increased their attack power greatly, and they easily overpowered their opponents.

Volt Tail, a combination of {{m|Volt Tackle}} and {{m|Iron Tail}}, was used in ''[[DP074|Pika and Goliath!]]'' against [[Sho]]'s {{p|Raichu}}.

"Rocket Punch" was a move that Pikachu used while "boxing" a {{p|Hitmonchan}}. Pikachu glowed red and shot off its boxing gloves, leaving off a trail of smoke. Once the smoke disappears, Pikachu still has its boxing gloves on and flies towards Hitmonchan at high speed.

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

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

==In the TCG==
Ash's Pikachu is featured in the TCG as {{TCG|Pokémon M|Pokémon}} {{SP|M}}. The following is a list of cards named '''Pikachu {{SP|M}}'''.

==Trivia==
* Ash's Pikachu is the subject of many 'gamebreaking' abilities that normally do not fit in the general stasis of the games. This includes Pikachu's ability to sometimes hurt {{type2|Ground}} Pokémon with Electric moves (sparking the meme "Aim for the Horn!"), and using moves that do not exist, or moves in a way that do not work in the games, such as the infamous "Thunder Armor".
* In spite of the fact that {{m|Volt Tackle}} (the signature move of its evolutionary line) is in fact an egg move, Ash's Pikachu learned the move "by accident," when using quick attack. In the games, it would have been legally impossible to acquire the move in that way.
* Pikachu is Ash's only {{type2|Electric}} Pokémon and was the only Electric-type owned by a main character in the anime until the capture of {{TP|Dawn|Pachirisu}} by Dawn. However, Pikachu is the only Electric-type Pokémon owned by a main character which can evolve.
* For ''[[DP013|A Staravia is Born]]'', [[Professor Oak's lecture]] is about Ash's Pikachu. He writes this [[Pokémon senryū]] about it: パートナー　サトシとピカチュウ　いいかんじ ''Partners Satoshi and Pikachu: a pleasant feeling''.
* Out of all five regions that Ash visited, [[Kanto]] and [[Hoenn]] are the only ones that Ash started out with just Pikachu. He did try to go to [[Sinnoh]] with Pikachu alone but Aipom followed him. At the beginning of each, Pikachu was also, in some way, injured, and ended up destroying the [[bike]] of a particular girl who would later [[Ash's friends|travel with Ash]].
* Pikachu was the first of Ash's Pokémon to disobey him. Other Pokémon that would do so, and be better remembered for their disobedience than Pikachu, are {{AP|Primeape}} and {{AP|Charizard}}.
* Although Pikachu has battled all the members of the {{p|Electabuzz}} evolutionary family at one time or another, ([[Rudy]]'s Electabuzz, [[Gary's Electivire]] and [[Paul's Elekid]]) it has not won even once. However Pikachu has defeated an Electabuzz ([[Dr. Namba]]'s) with the help of [[Sparky]]. On every other occasion, Pikachu fought one-on-one and either tied or lost.
* Ash's act of keeping Pikachu outside its Poké Ball on a permanent basis has been mimicked by several other characters in the anime.
** [[Ritchie]], when he first meets Ash, keeps [[Sparky]] inside of its ball, but later is shown to carry it on his shoulder much like Ash does.
** Dawn, likewise, does the same with her {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}}.
* Out of Ash's Pokémon, Pikachu was the first one to defeat a [[pseudo-legendary]] Pokémon during battle in the anime, defeating {{OBP|Drake|Orange League}}'s {{TP|Drake|Dragonite}} in ''[[EP112|Enter the Dragonite]]'' and {{ho|Tyson}}'s {{p|Metagross}} during the [[Ever Grande Conference]] of the Hoenn League in ''[[AG131|At the End of the Fray]]''. However, in both occasions, the two [[pseudo-legendary]] Pokémon had been weakened by other Pokémon in Ash's team at the time, {{AP|Squirtle}}, {{AP|Charizard}} and {{AP|Tauros}} had weakened {{TP|Drake|Dragonite}} and, {{AP|Swellow}} and {{AP|Grovyle}} had weakened {{ho|Tyson}}'s {{p|Metagross}}.
* Pikachu is the second Pokémon in the entire {{pkmn|anime}} series to have managed to defeat a [[legendary Pokémon]], which it did by defeating [[Brandon's Regice]] in ''[[AG190|Pace - The Final Frontier!]]''. [[Ash's Charizard]] was the first Pokémon to have achieved this feat, against {{TP|Noland|Articuno}}. [[Dawn's Buneary]] has also managed to defeat a {{p|Phione}}.
* Most of the moves Pikachu used in the [[original series]] were first used in an episode with the word ''showdown'' in its title.
* In ''[[EP030|Sparks Fly for Magnemite]]'', it was revealed that Pikachu has a fear of Ash leaving it.

===Pikachu's language===
[[Image:PikachuDP.png|thumb|right|Pikachu]]
Some of Pikachu's speech is consistent enough that it seems that some phrases actually mean something. For instance, Pikachu always uses "Pikapi" when referring to Ash (notice that it sounds somewhat similar to "Satoshi"). Other speech includes:
*PikaPikachu: ''My name is Pikachu''. When Ash and his friends are introducing themselves to the [[characters of the day]], it says this.
*Pi-Kachu: It says this during the sponsor spots in the original Japanese.
*Pikachu-Pi: ''[[Misty|Kasumi-chan]]'' (Misty)
*Pika-Chu: ''[[Brock|Takeshi]]'' (Brock)
[[image:Pikachu as ash.png|thumb|left|Pikachu imitating {{Ash}}]]
*PiPiPi: ''{{TP|Misty|Togepi}}'' (Togepi)
*PikakaPika: ''[[Ash's Bulbasaur|Fushigidane]]'' (Bulbasaur)
*PikaPika: ''[[Ash's Squirtle|Zenigame]]'' (Squirtle) or ''[[Ash's Staravia|Mukubird]]'' (Staravia) or ''[[Ash's Chimchar|Hikozaru]]'' (Chimchar)
*PiPikachu: ''[[Team Rocket|Rocket-dan]]'' (Team Rocket). It also says this after Ash wins a badge, catches a new Pokémon or anything similar.
*Pi-ka: Used for multiple things such as "eiga" (movie) as seen during trailers for each upcoming [[Pokémon movie]]. Can also be used for "yes".
*Pi-ka-chu?: ''Are you alright?'': When a character or Pokémon is injured, Pikachu says this.
*Specific names for {{Tracey}}, {{an|May}}, [[Max]], and {{an|Dawn}} have not been heard.
[[File:Pikachu wobbuffet.png|thumb|Pikachu as a {{p|Wobbuffet}}]]
*Chuuu-Pika: ''{{m|Iron Tail}}''. It says this when using {{m|Iron Tail}}.
*Pika-Chuuuuuuuu: ''{{m|Thunderbolt}}''. It says this when using {{m|Thunderbolt}}, "Pika" when charging up and "Chuuuuu" when discharging.
*PikaPikaPika...Pi-ka: ''{{m|Volt Tackle}}''. It says this when using {{m|Volt Tackle}}.
*ChuChuChu...: ''{{m|Quick Attack}}''. It may also say this when using {{m|Agility}}.
*PiPiPiPiPi...: ''{{m|Quick Attack}}''. It may also say this when using {{m|Agility}}.
*Pikachu seems to have a talent for miming Pokémon, as seen from its performance during [[DP033|a cosplay competition]]. It will occasionally use pantomime to specify what it is talking about. In particular, it has a face to represent {{AP|Turtwig}}.
*Pikachu has also used his face to tell when a character is in trouble by imitating people and Pokémon.

===Gender debate===
As Pikachu is the most seen Pokémon in the anime, fans have often wondered what gender Pikachu is. While this debate has existed since [[Generation II|gender was introduced]], it was brought up again because of [[gender differences]] being [[Generation IV|introduced in the games]]. In the English dub—and many international dubs as well—it has been explicitly stated that Pikachu is a male, however this is not true in the original Japanese. Despite this, there remain many more hints for Pikachu's masculinity than its femininity.

'''Pikachu's Goodbye''' (Japanese: '''ピカチュウのもり''' ''Forest of Pikachu'') is the 39th episode of the [[Pokémon anime]]. It was first broadcast in Japan on April 16, 1998 and in the United States on November 20, 1998. It was created in response to the [[EP038]] incident, and did not appear in the original schedule.

Notably, it is also, with ''[[EP040|The Battling Eevee Brothers]]'', the first hour-long Pokémon special.

{{spoilers}}
== Synopsis ==
{{Ash}}, [[Misty]], and [[Brock]] were resting in the forest. Ash started to swing on vines, but he slamed into a tree. {{AP|Pikachu}} came over to see if Ash was all right when it saw a baby {{p|Pikachu}}. Ash and Pikachu ran after it and Misty and Brock followed them to see a whole clan of Pikachu with the baby Pikachu. Pikachu said hello but the {{pkmn2|wild}} {{p|Pikachu}} got scared and ran off. Pikachu started to walk away but the baby Pikachu came over and shook tails with it. Brock claimed it must have accepted Ash's Pikachu. Ash ran toward them, yelling that he wants to be part of their group, but he scared them and they ran off. The baby Pikachu fell into a river and Ash's Pikachu jumped in to save it. The Pikachu all started joining tails to save them and they succeeded.

Meanwhile, [[Team Rocket]] saw the Pikachu and decided that they would capture them for the [[Giovanni|boss]].

At night, all the Pikachu started chanting their Pikachu chant. Ash and {{ashfr|his friends}} watched and saw how happy Pikachu is. Ash was sad but claimed it was nothing. He stayed up while Misty and Brock slept and saw Pikachu's face in the fire. He thought maybe Pikachu should be with its own kind. The fire finally went out and the Pikachu screamed for help. They were captured in a net which was, as [[Jessie]] said, electric-proof. [[James]] shot a net at Ash and his friends, but they got out of it very easily. Team Rocket started sailing away with the Pikachu but Ash's Pikachu began chewing at the net and broke it. Ash and his friends held up the net they were captured in and the Pikachu jumped in it unharmed. Ash's Pikachu bit a hole in the balloon and Team Rocket started blasting off again. Ash started to walk away without Pikachu and Misty and Brock asked him why. He said Pikachu would be happier here. Pikachu started following but Ash yelled at it to stay behind. He ran away and remembered a lot about Pikachu.

Finally, Ash stopped and Misty and Brock caught up to him. Behind Ash, his Pikachu shook tails with the baby Pikachu and all the wild Pikachu started chanting. Pikachu ran into Ash's arms. Ash was so touched that he started to cry. The episode ended with Ash and Pikachu hugging.

== Trivia ==
* This episode was created after the [[EP038]] incident: the episode schedule did not include it before the incident. The original EP039 was supposed to be ''[[Holiday Hi-Jynx]]''.
** The net Team Rocket uses is called the "Seizure Net". Coincidencially, this episode is the episode that aired right after [[EP038|the seizure episode]] in Japan.
* The episode aired as a two-hour special (放送再開スペシャル（放送再開スペシャルやっとあえるね！）１時間SP) with ''[[EP040|The Battling Eevee Brothers]]'', when Pokémon returned to airwaves.
* Not counting the flashbacks, {{p|Pikachu}} and {{p|Meowth}} were the only two species of Pokémon seen in this episode.
* The events of ''[[EP034|The Kangaskhan Kid]]'' were referenced in the beginning of this episode.
**Ash crashes into a tree. [[wikipedia: George of the Jungle|George of the Jungle]] often does the same.
* This is the most recent episode in which wild Pikachu appear.
* A short version of ''[[Goodnight, my Pikachu]]'' can be heard.
=== Errors ===
=== Dub edits ===

*The original montage of Ash and Pikachu is different in both versions. The original Japanese version has clips that are shown in chronological episodic order. The dubbed English version have clips from certain episodes in random order, with many clips missing from the original Japanese version, and it also has some clips not present in the original Japanese version.

'''Surf''' (Japanese: '''なみのり''' ''Surfing'') is a damage-dealing {{type2|Water}} move introduced in [[Generation I]]. It is [[HM03]] in all generations.

==Effect==
===In battle===
====Generations I and {{gen|II}}====
Surf inflicts damage and has no secondary effect.

====[[Generation III]]====
Same as the previous generations, but in a [[double battle]], Surf will hit both opposing Pokémon. Its base [[Power]] is doubled if it is targeted at a Pokémon using {{m|Dive}}.

====[[Generation IV]]====
Same as the previous generation; however, in a double battle, Surf will hit all other Pokémon battling, including the partner.

===Outside of battle===
[[Image:Surf_TM_Lucas.jpg|none|thumb|240px|'''Surf''' in the Generation III games]]
Surf can be used outside of battle to travel over bodies of water. When doing so, [[wild Pokémon]] may be encountered. Surfing is a very important mechanic of the games. Surf is needed in most games to progress through it, sometimes to reach other islands and cities.

The speed of Surfing has varied dramatically through games. In Generations [[Generation I|I]] and [[Generation II|II]], the speed was at the same speed as walking. In [[Generation III]] the speed was increased to running-speed.

In {{g|Diamond and Pearl}}, the Surfing speed was reduced to walking speed again. However, it should be noted that the [[player character]]s in Generations I and II walk at a faster pace than [[Lucas (game)|Lucas]] and [[Dawn (game)|Dawn]]. The speed was returned to running speed in {{g|Platinum}}.

==Trivia==
* Surf is used by Pokémon in order to swim '''and''' carry humans on their backs '''simultaneously'''. However, some of the Pokémon that can learn it are far too small to possibly carry a 10-year-old on their backs, eg. {{p|Poliwag}}.
* Surf is one of the few moves which no Pokémon can learn by leveling up, largely because it's an [[Hidden Machine|HM]] move.
* Surf and {{m|Fly}} are the only HM moves that are special moves, that are known by an [[event Pokémon]].
** Both of these moves are learned by event Pikachu.

==In other languages==
* French: '''Surf'''
* German: '''Surfer'''
* Italian: '''Surf'''
* Spanish: '''Surf'''
* Portuguese: '''Surf'''
* Korean: '''파도타기''' ''Padotagi''

Game Boy Advance Video

2009-07-12T08:19:05Z

Comwhiz: cartridges can also be found in other countries not including US eg. Singapore

A '''Game Boy Advance Video''' is a cartridge that contains episodes of a cartoon that can be viewed on a [[Game Boy Advance]]. Each cartridge typically costs around $20.

The first cartridges contained episodes from the [[Pokémon anime]], though it has since spread to a number of other shows, most notably from [[wp:Nickelodeon (TV channel)|Nickelodeon]]. A similar scheme later became a major selling point of the [[wp:PlayStation Portable|Sony PSP]].

__NOTOC__
{{cleanup}}
{{incomplete}}

===Annoyer===
A Pokémon designed with the sole purpose of annoying the opponent and making it difficult for him/her to use a move. Moves for this purpose include {{m|Confuse Ray}}, {{m|Thunder Wave}}, {{m|Protect}}, and {{m|Attract}}. It should be noted that the use of Annoyers has fallen since the start of [[Generation III]].

===Atmacune===
A {{p|Suicune}} moveset from [[Generation II]], which has {{m|Curse}}, {{m|Rest}}, {{m|Return}} and {{m|Roar}}. Not usable in Generation III or IV because {{m|Curse}} is no longer available in Suicune's movelist due to losing [[TM]] status.

===Baton Passer===
A moveset with {{m|Baton Pass}} and at least one stat-boosting move or {{m|Psych Up}}, {{m|Mean Look}} or {{m|Substitute}}. Designed to raise one or more stats and/or activate one or more of the above moves, then Baton Pass the effects to another Pokémon. Stat boosts are countered by a '''Hazer''' or '''Pseudo-Hazer'''. A good example of a Baton Passer is {{p|Ninjask}}, who gains one level of Speed after each turn due to its ability {{a|Speed Boost}}. It often abuses the move {{m|Protect}} and may use {{m|Swords Dance}} and/or Substitute too. Baton Passers can counter Pseudo-Hazers by passing {{m|Ingrain}}, but that can only be done by a {{p|Smeargle}}.

===Baton Passing Chain (Passchain)===
Continuous use of the move {{m|Baton Pass}} on various Pokémon in order to accumulate stat boosts, often used to boost and pass a variety of different stats that one Pokémon couldn't pass itself.

===Bellyzard===
A moveset created specifically for the {{p|Charizard}} evolution family. The moveset contains {{m|Belly Drum}}, {{m|Substitute}}, {{m|Fire Punch}}/{{m|Flare Blitz}} and any other move. Held item is a {{b|Salac}}. Belly Drum followed by Substitute maximizes the attack stat and lowers HP enough to activate {{a|Blaze}} and the {{b|Salac}} as long as Charizard's HP is divisible by 4. The power of Charizard's {{type2|Fire}} moves is increased, attack power is maximized and Speed is raised enough to possibly attack first. This results in an incredibly powerful physical Fire attack.

===Boltbeam===
A combination of {{m|Thunderbolt}} and {{m|Ice Beam}} on the same set that is resisted only by {{p|Magnezone}}, {{a|Volt Absorb}} {{p|Lanturn}}, and {{p|Shedinja}}. May also be used for any combination of {{t|Electric}} and {{t|Ice}} moves, such as {{m|Thunderbolt}} and HP Ice.

===Bomber===
Any Pokémon that knows {{m|Selfdestruct}} or {{m|Explosion}}. The aim is to knock out the opponent's Pokémon within one turn, also causing the Bomber to faint in the process. In [[Double Battle]]s, Bombers are typically paired with a {{t|Ghost}} Pokémon, or one that knows {{m|Protect}} or {{m|Detect}}, as both moves hit all other Pokémon on the field. Countered by Ghost types, Protect/Detect or the {{a|Damp}} ability.

===CalmCune===
A {{p|Suicune}} with {{m|Calm Mind}}. Often it uses {{m|Rest}} also. A very powerful and over-used Pokémon due to Suicune's two weaknesses being special types, and as a result its effectiveness has been reduced with the Gen IV Attack/Special split. Some counters include a Hazer or PHazer, a strong physical Electric or Grass attack and the move {{m|Encore}}.

===ChainChomp===
{{p|Garchomp}} that is designed as a Mixed Sweeper with the moves {{m|Draco Meteor}} and {{m|Fire Blast}}. The intention of this Pokémon is catching the opponent off guard as they send in a standard physical wall by taking advantage of most physical walls lacking a good {{stat|Special Defense}} stat. A variation of this set can also be used with {{p|Salamence}}.

===Choice Bander/CBer===
A moveset with physical attacks, and the hold item {{DL|In-battle effect item|Choice Band}}. Requires good prediction to use and counter.

===Clause===
Akin to House Rules, Clauses are various rules that fans apply to their battles. Since most player battles are free-for-alls, players usually agree on restrictions for moves, items and tiers. There also exist several official clauses that are usually applied to Stadium/Colosseum battles in the console connectivity games and Battle Tower challenges. [[Pokémon Battle Revolution]] is currently the only official way for players to battle with these clauses enforced by the game.

===Cleric===
A moveset that includes either {{m|Heal Bell}} or {{m|Aromatherapy}}. A good example of a Cleric is {{p|Blissey}}.

===Counter===
A moveset built with the defeat of another in mind. For example, a '''Skarmbliss''' counter would have an effective means of dealing with both {{p|Skarmory}} and {{p|Blissey}}: usually a (Special) Fire/Electric attack for Skarmory and a powerful (Physical) Fighting-type move such as {{m|Close Combat}} or {{m|Focus Punch}} for Blissey. TyraniBoah and MixApe are examples of specific counters.

See also the move {{m|Counter}}.

===Curselax===
A moveset that uses {{m|Curse}} and {{m|Rest}} on an already slow Pokémon to ignore the Speed drop. Although {{p|Snorlax}} is the most common user (hence the name), it can also appear on other Pokémon (provided they aren't Ghosts). Especially useful in a team using {{m|Trick Room}} as the Speed drops become Speed boosts instead.

===Decoy===
Any Pokémon that is 'sacrificed' against a strong opponent. The aim is to weaken the opponent's Pokémon before the sacrificial Pokémon is knocked out, then switch to a stronger Pokémon, preferably one whose moveset has an advantage over the opponent. A Decoy is often used to switch to a different Pokémon without causing damage to the Pokémon one wants to battle by sacrificing the Decoy.

===Double Rester===
A combination of {{m|Double Team}} and {{m|Rest}} quite common back in the [[Generation II]] days. In Standard Rules, Evasion Clause forbids use of {{m|Double Team}} so this strategy is rarely seen.

===DDer===
Any Pokémon that makes use of {{m|Dragon Dance}}. Usually fast physical sweepers like {{p|Kingdra}} or {{p|Salamence}}.

===Endureberry===
Any Pokémon that is made to {{m|Endure}} to one HP and receive a boost from the berry its low health activates. Berries this works with include {{b|Liechi}}, {{b|Ganlon}}, {{b|Salac}}, {{b|Petaya}}, {{b|Apicot}}, {{b|Micle}}, and {{b|Custap}}. Often combined with the below set and partnered with a Bomber in doubles, but not always. Also known by '''Endure''' (berry's name).

===Endureversal/flail===
A moveset designed to {{m|Endure}} down to one HP, then {{m|Reversal}} or {{m|Flail}} for massive damage, since Reversal and Flail have 200 base power at 1%-4% HP. The item held is often a {{b|Salac}}, a {{b|Liechi}}, or a {{b|Petaya}}, tying in with the previous strategy.

===Evasion clause===
The use of moves like {{m|Double Team}}, {{m|Minimize}}, {{m|Sand-Attack}}, {{m|Mud-Slap}}, {{m|Mirror Shot}}, {{m|Mud Bomb}}, and{{m|Acupressure}}, which may decrease accuracy or increase evasion, is forbidden.

===F.E.A.R.===

{{main|F.E.A.R}}

A last resort strategy involving a low-level {{p|Rattata}} holding a [[Focus Sash]] with the moves {{m|Endeavor}} and {{m|Quick Attack}}. It aims to catch the opponent off-guard when he/she sees the low-level Rattata and attacks. The Focus Sash will activate and Rattata will use Endeavor to attack, lowering the opponent's HP to 1. Then the Rattata will use Quick Attack to finish off the opponent. There are many variations of this set that can be used by any Pokémon with {{m|Endeavor}} and a priority move. For instance, it has been used by a Dodrio in [[Pokémon Battle Revolution]].

===Fishy===
A moveset with two One-Hit-Knockout moves, {{m|Sleep Talk}}, and {{m|Rest}}. Its name is a derivative of "{{m|Fissure}}".

===Flinchax===
A moveset with a paralysis-inducing move to negate speed, and a flinch move such as {{m|Air Slash}}, {{m|Bite}}, {{m|Headbutt}}, {{m|Iron Head}}, {{m|Rock Slide}}, or {{m|Extrasensory}}. It relies on chance to repeatedly flinch the foe until it faints. As an added bonus, the paralysis will kick in 25% of the time, preventing the foe from getting an attack in edgewise. {{p|Dunsparce}} was the most feared flinchaxor, because its {{a|Serene Grace}} increases the flinch chance to 60% until the appearance of {{p|Togekiss}} in [[Generation IV]]. {{p|Jirachi}} can also do this with Iron Head but only by Platinum move tutor.

===Follow Me Wall===
A special kind of wall used exclusively in Double Battles, using the move {{m|Follow Me}} in order to give the wall's partner some breathing room to do something. It can be used to protect the Glass Cannon, or to allow use of the move {{m|Focus Punch}} among other things.

===Glass Cannon===
A Pokémon that has extremely high offensive stats, which are contrasted with its appalling defensive stats and often insufficient Speed (e.g. {{p|Sharpedo}} or {{p|Rampardos}}). A Choice Scarf is often employed on such Pokemon to make up for their lack of good Speed, but other Choice items also see use.

===Hax===
Something that relies more on chance than reliability or strategy. Critical Hits are hax; {{m|Horn Drill}} is a hax move; items such as [[Focus Band]], [[BrightPowder]] and [[Scope Lens]] are hax items.

===Hazer===
A moveset with {{m|Haze}} in it. Much like a '''Spiker''', it can have any combination of moves along with Haze. Fast Pokémon and those with high defenses, such as {{p|Altaria}} and {{p|Articuno}}, make good Hazers.

===HM slave===

{{main|HM Slave}}

An [[HM]] slave is a Pokémon mostly untrained for battle which is used for basic case of learning HMs and being the one to use them out of battle when needed. It is mostly kept in a PC box and not part of a general team. It is used as an extra Pokémon that learns HMs, so a [[Pokémon trainer|trainer]] doesn't have to teach HMs to his or her main battlers. It is generally only brought out of a PC box when the use of HMs are needed. Due to {{p|Bibarel}} being capable of learning 6 HMs, it is often (if not always) [[tiers|classified]] as the authentically perfect HM slave.
[[Tropius]] is also regarded as a good HM slave as it can learn 5 HMs, including [[Fly]].

===HP===
Usually used as an abbreviation for "Hit Points", but often refers to the move {{m|Hidden Power}}. For example, "HP Water" refers to a Hidden Power that is of the {{type2|Water}}.

===HP Sponge===
A type of Wall that relies primarily on high HP for defense, instead of Defense and Special Defense stats. These types of Pokémon benefit greatly from Leftovers and Healing moves. Common ones include Blissey and Snorlax.

===IV Battle===
A level 100 Wi-Fi battle where the purpose is not actually to battle, but to observe what the Pokémon's stats will look like at level 100, which is the most optimal way to calculate what the Pokémon's IVs are. This is typically done with freshly hatched Pokémon, as EVs don't have to be included in such calculations.

===Lead===
The starting Pokémon of a team.

===Level Clause===
All Pokémon used by both trainers should be close to the same level, which is usually 50 or 100. With the advent of Diamond and Pearl, WiFi battles are capable of setting Pokémon levels to 50 or 100 (rounding them up or down as necessary), so a Level Clause really only applies to local battles.

===McIceGar===
A moveset for {{p|Gengar}} with many variations. Usually used to describe the Subpunching Gengar with {{m|Thunderbolt}} and {{m|Ice Punch}}, but moves such as {{m|Psychic}}, {{m|Shadow Ball}} and {{m|Sludge Bomb}} are sometimes included. As of [[Generation IV]], {{m|Ice Punch}} is no longer a reliable option for McIceGar since it has become Physical, and so it must use {{m|Hidden Power}} instead.

===MixApe===
A commonly used mixed sweeper moveset for {{p|Infernape}} that is extremely useful for wall-breaking, especially Skarmbliss. The set consists of a combination of the moves {{m|Flamethrower}}/{{m|Fire Blast}}, {{m|Close Combat}}, {{m|Grass Knot}}, {{m|ThunderPunch}}, HP Ice and {{m|Nasty Plot}}. It usually holds the item Life Orb.

===[[One-hit knockout move|OHKO moves]]===
These are moves that cause a one-hit knock out when they hit; their accuracy is accordingly low (30%). Namely:
*{{m|Sheer Cold}}
*{{m|Fissure}}
*{{m|Horn Drill}}
*{{m|Guillotine}}

In Standard rules, OHKO moves are forbidden, so these are rarely seen.

===Pinch Berry===
Any one of the following: {{b2|Liechi}}, {{b2|Ganlon}}, {{b2|Salac}}, {{b2|Petaya}}, {{b2|Apicot}}, {{b2|Lansat}}, and {{b2|Starf}}. These berries raise a specific stat when the holder's HP falls below 1/3 (or in a pinch, hence the name). Petaya, Salac and Liechi are the most commonly used, as extra defence typically isn't very useful when health is that low. Though usually found on Enduring, Substituting or Belly Drumming Pokémon, {{p|Drifblim}} does well with [[Petaya Berry]] with combination with the {{a|Unburden}} ability.

===Pseudo Passer===
A moveset with {{m|Wish}}, {{m|Safeguard}}, {{m|Light Screen}} and/or {{m|Reflect}} in it. Reflect and Light Screen are countered by {{m|Brick Break}}.

===Pseudo Hazer (PHazer)===
A moveset with either {{m|Whirlwind}} or {{m|Roar}}, which is intended to force a stat-boosted Pokémon out of the ring. A '''Shuffler''' can also be a PHazer. A moveset with a move like {{m|Yawn}}, {{m|Leech Seed}}, or {{m|Charm}} can also be considered a PHazer. If the opponent decides not to switch out after being hit with one of these moves, he/she will have a hard time continuing the battle with their current Pokémon.

===[[Pseudo-legendary]]===
Any of the following Pokémon: {{p|Dragonite}}, {{p|Tyranitar}}, {{p|Salamence}}, {{p|Metagross}}, and {{p|Garchomp}}. These Pokémon have noticeably astounding [[stats]] and diverse movepools.

===PowerChoiceJetter===
An {{p|Azumarill}} that has the [[ability]] {{a|Huge Power}}, is holding the item {{DL|In-battle effect item|Choice Band}}, and knows {{m|Aqua Jet}}.

===Priority Move===
A move that allows the user to attack first despite having a lower Speed stat, such as {{m|Quick Attack}}, {{m|Ice Shard}} or {{m|Sucker Punch}}.

===Quentank===
Consists of a {{p|Vespiquen}} with {{m|Heal Order|Heal}} and {{m|Defend Order}}, making it have tank-like qualities, and after they have been maximized {{m|Toxic}} could also help take down defensive Pokémon.

===Rocker===
A Pokémon that uses {{m|Stealth Rock}}, similar to a '''Spiker'''. Stealth Rock is a very common move in the metagame and almost every team employs a Rocker.

===ScarfChomp===
A {{p|Garchomp}} holding the item [[Choice Scarf]], whose speed is multiplied by 1.5.

===Seeker===
Any Pokémon with a moveset that has at least one attack that never misses, such as {{m|Faint Attack}}. Other Seeker moves are {{m|Swift}}, {{m|Vital Throw}}, {{m|Aerial Ace}}, and {{m|Shock Wave}}. These attacks are countered by {{m|Fly}}, {{m|Dig}}, {{m|Dive}}, {{m|Bounce}}, {{m|Protect}}, {{m|Detect}} and {{m|Shadow Force}}. This can also refer to a Pokémon that uses {{m|Lock-On}} or {{m|Mind Reader}} on an opponent that uses {{m|Fly}}, {{m|Dig}}, {{m|Bounce}}, or {{m|Dive}}, which ensures that the next attack hits the opponent, despite them using any of the four moves. After using Lock-On or Mind Reader, the attacks will also hit through a Protect or Detect.

===Seeder===
Seeder are Pokémon that use {{m|Leech Seed}} to force switches, drain HP to heal themselves, or wear down defensive Pokémon. They are often used with {{m|Substitute}} known as Subseeders.

===Shuffler (Parashuffler/Pyroshuffler/Toxishuffler)===
A moveset with either {{m|Roar}} or {{m|Whirlwind}} and {{m|Toxic}} as well as {{m|Thunder Wave}} or {{m|Will-O-Wisp}}. Works by inflicting a status condition, then PHazing and repeating. Often used in tandem with a Spiker for best results. Countered by a '''Cleric''', or simply by attacking each time they try to PHaze.

===Skarmbliss===
A combination of {{p|Skarmory}} and {{p|Blissey}} used in the same team, which is designed to abuse Skarmory's high Defense stat and numerous resistances, as well as Blissey's high Special Defense stat and extraordinary HP stat. It is very difficult to beat if one is not prepared, so most teams carry a SkarmBliss counter.

===Sleep clause===
A rule whereby the use of a sleep inducing move is forbidden if a Pokémon on the opponent's team has already been put to sleep by one of the user's Pokémon. Sleep induced by moves such as by {{m|Rest}} or abilities like {{a|Effect Spore}} are exempted. Pokémon Battle Revolution supports the Sleep Clause, and custom rule sets can choose to enforce it or not.

===Sleep talker (Restalker/STalker)===
A moveset with {{M|Rest}} and {{M|Sleep Talk}}. It is used to maintain a Pokémon's (usually with good defenses) health with Rest, but allow it to attack in the meantime with Sleep Talk. It's not a perfect strategy, as there is the chance Sleep Talk will call Rest again, but it works often enough to see use. {{p|Milotic}} is an excellent example of a sleeptalker due to {{a|Marvel Scale}}.

===Species clause===
A rule whereby the use of more than one of the same Pokémon, or Pokémon in the same evolution chain, is forbidden. Pokémon that evolve from the same Pokémon but are not an evolution of each other are exempted. For example, the use of {{p|Gorebyss}} and {{p|Huntail}} is allowed, but the use of Gorebyss and {{p|Clamperl}} or Clamperl and Clamperl in one team - is not. An official clause, the various Battle Towers and Console connectivity games enforce this.

===Specs-Mence===
A {{p|Salamence}} holding [[Choice Specs]] (or {{DL|In-battle effect item|Wise Glasses}} in some cases), with the moves {{m|Draco Meteor}}, {{m|Fire Blast}} or {{m|Flamethrower}}, {{m|Hydro Pump}}, and {{m|Dragon Pulse}}.

===Spiker===
A moveset that includes the move {{m|Spikes}}. Since that is the only requirement, there are many variations to spiker movesets. Effective ones utilize {{m|Roar}}/{{m|Whirlwind}}, {{m|Toxic Spikes}}, {{m|Stealth Rock}}, and/or {{m|Rapid Spin}}.

===Sponge===
A Pokémon with a very high defensive stat. Used to block attacks of that kind (e.g. Special Sponge). Synonymous with '''Wall'''.

===STAB===
[[Same-type attack bonus]]. Refers to the 1.5x multiplier a Pokémon gets when using an attack that matches its own type. If a Pokémon is a dual-type Pokémon, it gets a 1.5x multiplier for attacks of both of its types (e.g. a Garchomp gets STAB for Dragon-type as well as Ground-type attacks). The ability {{a|Adaptability}} increases STAB's multiplier to 2x.

===Staller===
Much like the '''Tank''', this moveset lives to build up passive damage (such as Poison, Burn, Leech Seed, and weather conditions) while stalling with {{m|Protect}}, recovery moves or (rarely) with {{m|Fly}}, {{m|Dive}}, or {{m|Dig}}. {{m|Toxic}} is most commonly used due to its increasing amount of damage caused. Some counters include a '''Cleric''', the move {{m|Taunt}} and {{p|Clefable}} (due to the ability {{a|Magic Guard}}).

===Standard rules===
It refers to the rules used in [[Wi-Fi]] battles by most Competitive Battlers. The rules include: No Ubers, no hacks, no OHKO Moves, no Hax Items and also the Sleep, Evasion and Species Clauses.

===Suicide spiker/rocker===
A {{p|Forretress}} with the moveset consisting of {{m|Stealth Rock}}, {{m|Spikes}}, {{m|Toxic Spikes}} and {{m|Explosion}}. Set up all the traps then use explosion so the next Pokémon has to deal with the brunt of the attacks of the spikes taking up to 50% of their HP and being badly poisoned. Works well with a roarer to make all of the opponent's Pokémon suffer.

===Suicide Lead===
A moveset in which the user is equiped with a [[Focus Sash]]. The purpose of this moveset is to set up {{m|Stealth Rock}}, while anticipating an attack that could OHKO the user, but survives with the [[Focus Sash]]. This is a very common moveset for leading {{p|Azelf}} and {{p|Aerodactyl}}.

===Subpasser===
A moveset with {{m|Substitute}} and {{m|Baton Pass}}. Although any Pokémon that can learn Baton Pass can pass Substitutes, Pokémon with high HP are preferred so that the Substitute passed will also have a high HP. Subpassing is beneficial as it allows for a Pokémon to have a Substitute with a much higher HP than it could make itself. If such a Substitute is passed to a Wall or Tank, the opponent will have a hard time breaking the Substitute right away, allowing the target to reap the benefits of the Substitute, such as immunity to status effects. Subpasses can also pass defence boosts to make the Substitutes even harder to break, but then that only leaves them one move for attacking, making them very vulnerable to Taunt.

===Subpuncher===
A moveset with {{m|Substitute}} and {{m|Focus Punch}} to avoid the flinch chance from Focus Punch. Works best with slower Pokémon as the Substitute may end up being broken the turn it's made if the Subpuncher goes first. Slightly harder to use in Double Battles where the two Pokémon could gang up on the Subpuncher to break the Substitute and hit the Pokémon. Countered by Thick Club Marowak whose Bonemerang usually does enough damage to break the Substitute on the first hit, allowing the second hit to attack the Subpuncher directly. It's also is countered by Technician Ambipom who might break the Substitute on the first hit of Double Hit.

===Sunnybeamer===
A moveset with {{m|Sunny Day}} and {{m|SolarBeam}} to avoid the one turn charge up from SolarBeam. Often used on Pokémon with the {{a|Chlorophyll}} ability, {{type2|Fire}} Pokémon, or Pokémon with the moves {{m|Synthesis}}, {{m|Morning Sun}}, or {{m|Moonlight}}.

===Sweeper===
A moveset designed with the object of quickly knocking out, or "sweeping," an opponent's team. Specializes in mostly direct attacks with stat-boosting moves also common. It is characterized by high Speed and offensive stats while very often having poor defensive stats and HP. Comes in three variations - Physical, Special, and Mixed. (Physical sweepers use physical moves, Special sweepers use special moves, and Mixed sweepers use both.). Common counters are bulky Pokémon and priority moves.

===Tank===
A Pokémon that can take hits and still fight back. Often functions as a Wall/Sponge but different because while being hard to KO, it can still threaten the opponent offensively. Some common tanks are Bronzong and Suicune.

===Thunderdancer===
A moveset with {{m|Rain Dance}} and {{m|Thunder}} to give Thunder 100% accuracy. Pokémon with the {{a|Volt Absorb}} or {{a|Water Absorb}} [[ability]] are preferred, due to their immunity to enemy {{m|Surf}}s and {{m|Thunder}}s.

===Tier===
{{main|Tiers}}
A tier is a list of Pokémon in the [[metagame]] selected based on numerous traits, such as how the Pokémon's stats are distributed, its type and moves, and overall ability in battle.

==={{DL|Tiers|Uber}}===
A tier of the metagame, currently the highest there is. It is mostly consisted of legendaries, although not all of them are in the Uber tier.

====[[Tiers#Borderline|BL]]====
Borderline. A tier of the metagame. It is the third highest tier, in between OU and UU.

====[[Tiers#Over-Used|OU]]====
Over-Used. A tier of the metagame. It is the second highest tier, only surpassed by Uber.

====[[Tiers#Under-Used|UU]]====
Under-Used. A tier of the metagame that is the second lowest, not counting NFE.

====[[Tiers#Never-Used|NU]]====
Never-Used. A tier of the metagame. It is currently the lowest tier to date, not counting NFE. This tier first appeared in Generation III.

====NFE====
Not an actual tier, but a term used to describe Pokémon that are not fully evolved, and thus should not be used competitively until they evolve. There are some NFEs that can viably be used competitively, namely:
* {{p|Pikachu}} with [[Light Ball]]
* {{p|Magneton}}
* {{p|Scyther}}
* {{p|Porygon2}}
* {{p|Vigoroth}}
* {{p|Trapinch}} with {{a|Arena Trap}}
* {{p|Clamperl}} with [[DeepSeaTooth]]

===Trapper===
A set designed with the purpose of trapping a Pokémon for one reason or another. Moves such as {{m|Mean Look}} and {{m|Spider Web}} are standard trapping moves but moves such as {{m|Wrap}} and {{m|Fire Spin}} are also used sometimes. Might be used in tandem with {{m|Toxic}} or {{m|Curse}} (Ghost variety) to sap the opponent's health or {{m|Perish Song}} for a guaranteed knockout. Certain abilities, such as {{a|Shadow Tag}}, {{a|Magnet Pull}} and {{a|Arena Trap}}, trap automatically.

===Trickbander===
A moveset that employs {{m|Trick}} and the held item {{DL|In-battle effect item|Choice Band}} to incapacitate any opponent that doesn't use Physical attacks (most likely a Tank, Annoyer or Special Sweeper). Trick switches items with the opponent, so that they lose their valuable held item and get a restrictive one. In Generation IV, with the introduction of Choice Specs and Choice Scarf, the more common item to switch onto the opponent is Choice Scarf because the receiver gains no offensive boost and the user makes use of the speed boost to Trick before the opponent makes their move.

===Trickbracer===
Similar to the '''Trickbander''', a Trickbracer gives the opponent the {{DL|In-battle effect item|Macho Brace}} instead - an item that reduces Speed. It will stop most Sweepers in their tracks due to the reduction of their Speed that is so crucial. In Generation IV, the {{DL|In-battle effect item|Iron Ball}} and {{DL|In-battle effect item|Lagging Tail}} hold items exist almost solely to be used in this way, while the {{a|Klutz}} ability seems to exist so that the Pokémon using Trick doesn't have to suffer the effects of the item they are Tricking to the opponent.

===Type Coverage===
An analysis of which types can be hit for Super-Effective Damage. For example, a Fire type move will do super-effective damage against Bug, Grass, Ice, and Steel types. As Super-Effective moves are the most efficient way to take out other Pokémon, trainers usually strive for good type coverage on individual Pokémon, and for the whole team. Hidden Power helps as a wild-card to allow a Pokémon to cover types it wouldn't normally be able to, such as a Charizard with Hidden Power Water, which would then give it coverage against other Fire types. Ice is typically a good type to have, as the most commonly seen Dragon types have a double weakness to the Ice type.

===TyraniBoah===
A moveset specifically for {{p|Tyranitar}} (but also viable on others) with the '''Subpuncher''' combo and the '''Boltbeam''' combo. It is also an example of very advanced battling techniques on both sides, as it requires you to predict that your opponent will predict your next attack and switch to something resistant to it. An example of this would be if your opponent has a {{p|Salamence}} in play and expects you to use {{m|Ice Beam}} and thus switches to a {{p|Starmie}}. Predicting the switch, you actually select {{m|Thunderbolt}} or {{m|Crunch}} and beat the Starmie on the switch-in.

===Wall===
A Pokémon with a very high defensive stat. Used to block attacks of that kind (e.g. Physical Wall). Synonymous with '''Sponge'''.

===Wondertomb/Wondereye===
A hacked {{p|Spiritomb}} or {{p|Sableye}} with the ability {{a|Wonder Guard}}. Since {{p|Spiritomb}} and {{p|Sableye}} have no weaknesses, they can only be damaged by weather conditions, status problems, entry hazards such as {{m|Spikes}} or {{m|Stealth Rock}}, recoil moves and, curiously, the move {{m|Fire Fang}}. Note that the ability {{a|Mold Breaker}} will cancel out the Wonder Guard ability. Also, If the opponent has {{a|Scrappy}}, or uses {{m|Odor Sleuth}} or {{m|Foresight}} a Wondereye or Wondertomb can be hit with a super effective Fighting-type attack. {{m|Gastro Acid}} is a move that will cancel this ability as well. These instances prove that Wondereyes and Wondertombs are not invincible.

Team Rocket's mechas

2009-07-10T06:22:09Z

Comwhiz:

{{incomplete}}

'''Team Rocket's mechas''' usually refers to mechas used by [[Jessie]], [[James]] and {{MTR}} in one of their wild schemes. Throughout the {{pkmn|anime}}, [[Team Rocket]] has had many robots and machines. It is unknown how they get them, since they usually have little money, and how they are transported to the location it is to be used at. Most of the time, the robots fail and get destroyed, some even before getting a chance to be used. They first appeared in ''[[EP002|Pokémon Emergency!]]'' with the debut of Team Rocket's Balloon.

Boss fantasy

2009-07-10T06:14:42Z

Comwhiz:

{{incomplete}}
[[Image:Chibi Giovanni.jpg|right|frame|Meowth's view of Giovanni.]]
The '''boss fantasy''' (Japanese: '''ニャース妄想''' ''{{tt|Nyarth|Meowth}} delusion'') is a segment in the [[Pokémon anime]] where {{MTR}} thinks of practical uses for the [[Pokémon]] being focused on in the current episode. Through this, the [[Giovanni]] in Meowth's imagination rewards Team Rocket for their generosity, which gives Jessie and James the motivation to go through with their next plan. The segment debuted in ''[[EP021|Bye Bye Butterfree!]]'', but only after ''[[EP205|The Kecleon Caper]]'' it became as regular as the [[Team Rocket mottos|motto]] and blast off for a while during the Hoenn saga.

It can be noted that the Giovanni in such fantasies always says he will reward "Meowth and his friends" for bringing (Pokémon so and so) instead of "Jessie, James and Meowth" or a variation of that. This can be attributed to the fact that Meowth is usually the one who dreams up these fantasies, and his ego causes him to imagine Giovanni rewarding him first, then his friends.

On rare occasions, the fantasy will not pan out to plan and Giovanni's unhappiness encourages the trio to do something else instead.

Animation physics

2009-07-06T09:55:28Z

Comwhiz: /* Examples */

'''Anime physics''' is a [[fanon]] term used to describe all the unusual, impossible, and sometimes absurd moments in the {{pkmn|anime}} where real-world physics do not seem to apply. At times, the term can also be used to describe when an [[move|attack]] works differently in the anime than it would in the [[Pokémon games|games]]. Some common examples are unusual feats of strength and agility, surviving lethal attacks, and {{wp|hammerspace}}.

Anime physics are often caused by several factors. The anime is generally more focused on telling a story in one or several episodes than getting the details right, so sometimes the writers will twist or bend physics so the episode can unfold the way they want it so. Sometimes it is a case of oversight; anime physics do not seem unusual unless someone stops to think about how a situation would work in the real world.

==Examples==
* Everything explodes in the anime. Most attacks explode when they connect with an opposing attack, even if the attacks would not normally do so. (even, and some would say especially, non-flammable substances such as leaves or water)
**In contests, almost every move will explode and send a shower of sparkles down into the crowd.
**Some moves explode when they clearly cannot, such as a {{m|Bite}} attack.
* Ash and his friends seem to have an unlimited amount of space in their bags or pockets, especially Brock, from a sleeping bag to the things he uses to cook.
**In ''[[EP115|A Tent Situation]]'', Tracey brings out around 40–50 sketch books to show Professor Oak and then put them back in the same bag that they should not have fit into in the first place.
* Very often, Pokémon will be affected by [[Move|moves]] they would be immune to, due to their type, according to the games. This is shown many times when [[Ash's Pikachu]] fights a {{type2|Ground}} Pokémon, it uses an {{type2|Electric}} move and it works well.
** {{TP|Ash|Pikachu}}'s electric attacks fluctuate between being able to affect {{type2|Ground}} Pokémon (such as [[EP005|Brock's Onix]] and [[AG016|Roxanne's Geodude]]) and having no effect at all (such as [[Spell of the Unown|Lisa's Quagsire]], [[AG096|Rocky's Quagsire]] and [[The Rise of Darkrai|Maurice's Torterra]]). The anime's explanation for this is that ever since [[EP005|Pikachu received a power up]], it has enough power to override the immunity. However, no matter how much power it has, it shouldn't be able to affect ground types.
* Another example is when [[May's Squirtle]] attacked [[Harley's Banette]] with {{m|Tackle}} in ''[[AG173|New Plot, Odd Lot]]'', despite the {{type2|Ghost}}'s immunity to {{type2|Normal}} attacks.
* In multiple instances, {{m|Shadow Ball}} is able to hit {{type2|Normal}} Pokémon, despite being a {{type2|Ghost}} attack.
* Many Pokémon know [[anime move errors|moves they cannot learn in the games]].
* {{Ash}} was able to pick up {{TP|Ash|Larvitar}} despite it weighing more than [[List of Pokémon by weight|150 lbs (70 kg)]], according to game data. {{p|Hippopotas}} is also similar, due to the fact that there are 109 lbs (49 kg) of weight is bearing down on Ash's head and neck. Someone of similar stature in the real world would be prone to serious (if not irreparable) head, back, and/or neck injuries.
* Pokémon surviving [[One-hit knockout move|one-hit KO]] attacks, like {{m|Horn Drill}}, without fainting.
* In ''[[AG147|Sweet Baby James]]'', when Jessie picks up [[May's Munchlax]] and puts it in a bag, despite it weighing over 220 lbs (100kg). On another note of this, in ''[[AG159|Off the Unbeaten Path]]'', [[Max]] was able to carry it on his back despite Munchlax weighing four times as much as Max.
* Many Pokémon are able to dodge moves that are sure to hit, such as when [[Ash's Squirtle]] was able to dodge an {{m|Aerial Ace}} from [[Pyramid King Brandon|Brandon's]] {{p|Ninjask}}. In the games, Aerial Ace never misses as long as the Pokémon is on the screen. Another example is in ''[[AG185|Duels of the Jungle]]'' when a Weavile dodges [[Ash's Aipom]]'s {{m|Swift}}.
* [[Ash's Turtwig]] was hurt by [[Gardenia's Turtwig]]'s {{m|Leech Seed}}. However, in the games, {{type2|Grass}}s are immune to this move.
* Water does not seem to conduct electricity in some cases. This can be seen in [[DP105|this]] episode, where [[Ash's Pikachu|Pikachu]] and [[Dawn's Pachirisu|Pachirisu]]'s combined Electric attacks are used against (Wash) [[Rotom]]'s [[Hydro Pump]] and the electricity does not conduct from Rotom's Hydro Pump to shock Rotom.
* {{TP|Ash|Pikachu}} appears to receive a power-down at the beginning of every saga, meaning it appears to have just as much skill as the new beginners on {{Ash}}'s team despite being shown to be very powerful in some of the matches towards the end of each saga.
* During some of the battles in the anime, the Pokémon stay in the air longer than usual either when using attacks or receiving attacks (not including Pokémon that fly naturally). This is evident in ''[[DP108|Dealing With Defensive Types!]]'' when {{Ash}}'s {{AP|Chimchar}} battles against [[Byron]]'s {{p|Bronzor}} and actually can be seen floating.

===Other examples===
An additional use of anime physics is for humorous purposes; it is common in animated media to have characters do things that would cause harm to or be impossible for a live actor for the sake of entertainment.

*{{TP|Ash|Pikachu}} often shocks people (mostly {{Ash}} himself and members of [[Team Rocket]]) to the point where they appear scorched or blackened by the electrocution, yet soon afterward (often as soon as the next scene), they appear perfectly normal, without any lasting damage. Similarly, Meowth often scratches Jessie, James, and sometimes Ash, and soon afterward the scratch marks disappear.
* In almost every episode, [[Jessie]], [[James]], and {{MTR}} manage to get launched hundreds of feet into the air by various means (usually a Pokémon attack). However, others standing near them will not be moved or even affected, and Team Rocket never gets seriously hurt from the flight, which would surely kill a normal person. They also are in a stationary position during the first part of their flight, and then start suddenly spinning after making a humorous comment.

{{spoilers}}
==Synopsis==
From a [[Pokémon Center]], {{Ash}} and {{ashfr|his friends}} call [[Professor Oak]]. During the call, {{AP|Grotle}} and {{TP|Dawn|Piloswine}} {{m|tackle}} their {{pkmn|Trainers}} down [[Happiness|happily]]. When Professor Oak samples some Gateau, he suggests to Ash and his friends to go to the [[Old Chateau]] in [[Canalave City]] to try their specialty {{DL|Status ailment healing item|Old Gateau}}. [[Brock]] checks his guidebook and shows the location. Nearby, [[Team Rocket]] listens in on the conversation and decides to head to the Chateau first and get the Gateau.

Team Rocket reaches the Old Chateau first and notices the lack of activity. They reach the locked front door and {{MTR}} {{wp|Lock picking|picks the lock}}. As they explore the darkened Chateau and leave the main hall, a {{wp|Incandescent light bulb|light fixture}} sparks. Meanwhile, Ash and his friends get close to the Chateau when a [[worker]] meets up with them and tells them that a recent storm took out the {{wp|Electricity generation|electricity}}, closing the Chateau. While he assures that power will be restored soon, he spooks Ash and his friends by telling them about rumors of [[Literal ghost|ghosts]] haunting the Chateau before walking away. Undeterred, Ash and his friends continue on.

Team Rocket checks the {{wp|kitchen}} and has little success finding anything. James checks a cabinet and finds a candy bar, deciding to hide it in a {{wp|Microwave oven|microwave}}. When he walks away, the microwave turns into [[Form differences#Rotom|Heat Rotom]], which promptly eats the candy before disguising itself. Jessie finds a chocolate bar and hides it in a {{wp|refrigerator}}, but [[Form differences#Rotom|Frost Rotom]] quickly eats the stash before hiding. Meowth finds a cookie and hides it in the same microwave James used, Heat Rotom quickly taking it. Team Rocket regroups and tries to leave, but all three run back to grab their hidden stash. Al three find their secrets gone and blame each other. They argue when Frost Rotom appears in front of them and fires {{m|Blizzard}}, sending them running. They run into Heat Rotom, forcing them to go back, crawling into a shaft and landing in a separate storage room. Jessie tries to open the locked door but fails to make it budge.

Ash and his friends stand outside the Chateau, finding it closed. Suddenly, the door opens on its own. They head inside and {{AP|Pikachu}} spots something moving down a hall. They follow Pikachu to the basement, where they find a {{wp|Electrical generator|generator}}. They see a microwave laying on the floor and Pikachu senses something wrong. While the humans and {{an|Dawn}}’s {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}} check the generator, Pikachu opens the microwave and climbs in to check. Heat Rotom appears and closes the oven door, which causes Pikachu to use {{m|ThunderShock}} to break free, the electric attack striking the generator. Ash checks on Pikachu, the [[Pokémon]] quickly pointing at the microwave, which has reverted to normal. Pikachu’s attack powers up the generator and restores electricity and lighting to the Chateau. Back in the storage room, Meowth sees a {{wp|display case}} holding Old Gateau. Meowth tries to {{m|scratch}} the glass to break it, but it fails. An {{wp|intercom}} plays an automated message, which tells Ash and his friends directions to the kitchen where they can make their own Gateau. Ash and his friends reach the location and find a complete kitchen with the necessary ingredients and the recipe to make the Old Gateau. Brock volunteers to make the Gateau while Ash and Dawn {{pkmn|training|train}} for upcoming challenges.

Outside, Ash summons {{AP|Chimchar}} for training. Chimchar practices against Pikachu, firing {{m|Flamethrower}} while Pikachu dodges the attacks. One attack hits a nearby {{wp|lawn mower}}. Ash and {{cat|Ash's Pokémon|his Pokémon}} check the damaged mower, which transforms into [[Form differences#Rotom|Mow Rotom]]. Rotom scares Ash and his Pokémon back into the Chateau. In the Chateau, Dawn trains with {{TP|Dawn|Buneary}}, practicing {{m|Dizzy Punch}}. Dawn notices an {{wp|Fan (mechanical)|electric fan}} running, so she turns it off before letting Piplup practice {{m|BubbleBeam}}. The fan reactivates and {{m|Air Slash|blows the attack away}}. Dawn turns and sees [[Form differences#Rotom|Fan Rotom]], which chases Dawn and {{cat|Dawn's Pokémon|her Pokémon}} out of the room.

Dawn runs into Ash as they tell about their two encounters with possessed appliances. They decide to warn Brock, running back to the kitchen. They run into the lawnmower, which turns into Mow Rotom, chasing them. Ash and Dawn evade Rotom by going up a set of stairs to the second floor. However, they spot a {{wp|washing machine}} and already realize what will happen. [[Form differences#Rotom|Wash Rotom]] fires {{m|Hydro Pump}} at them, forcing them to run away. They reach an {{wp|elevator}} and get inside before Rotom smacks into the closed doors. They head back to the ground floor. When they get down, they check the hall. It’s clear at first, but Fan Rotom appears and chases them into the kitchen. They close the door in time as Brock notices their anxiety and thinks they are imagining things. Brock pulls the completed Gateau out of the fridge. The fridge turns into Frost Rotom behind Brock, which he doesn't notice at first. Eventually, he catches the disguise, and Rotom blasts them out of the kitchen with Blizzard. Rotom turns into Heat form and blasts with {{m|Overheat}}. Pikachu and Piplup attack with BubbleBeam and {{m|Thunderbolt}}, causing {{p|Rotom}} to dissociate from the microwave, assuming normal form and prompting Ash to check his [[Pokédex]].

They realize that Rotom has been playing {{wp|Practical joke|pranks}} on them. Rotom darts away and returns in Mow form to chase them. They try to run up the stairs, but Rotom leaves the lawnmower and takes control of the washing machine upstairs, blasting them out of the Chateau with Hydro Pump. Brock keeps the Gateau intact as Ash and Dawn attack with Pikachu's Thunderbolt and {{TP|Dawn|Pachirisu}}'s {{m|Discharge}}. Rotom blocks with Hydro Pump at first, but the two {{t|Electric}} Pokémon eventually overpower Rotom and hit it, causing Rotom to dissociate from the washing machine, [[Unable to battle|knocked out]]. Ash and his friends check Rotom as it recovers, apologetic for causing harm and only wanting to have fun. Piplup pats Rotom, resulting in a Discharge attack. Rotom uses Discharge on everyone to give the humans {{wp|Afro}} hairstyles before going into a light pole and disappearing.

Team Rocket still lie in the storage room exhausted. Jessie unknowingly utters a secret password that opens the voice-activated display case. They eat the Gateau, but it is only wax replicas for display. Outside, Ash and his friends enjoy the sunset and munch on the Old Gateau. They decide to send some to Professor Oak and Ash prepares to train for the [[Canalave Gym]].

* This is the first episode of the twelfth season of the dub of the anime, ''[[Pokémon Diamond & Pearl: Galactic Battles]]''.
* Beginning with this episode, all of the title cards in the dub are all capitalized.
* [[Professor Oak's Pokémon lecture]]: {{p|Huntail}}
* Despite Piloswine weighing a hefty {{tt|123.0lbs|55.8kg}}, Dawn is somehow able to support Piloswine's weight on her back and shoulders.
* Despite already meeting ghosts before, Brock is skeptical of the claims made by Ash and Dawn.
* The dub title for this episode is a reference to the phrase, "get your motor running!".
* While the Old Chateau is near Canalave City in the anime, it is found in the [[Eterna Forest]] in-game.

===Errors===
* After Rotom chases Ash, Pikachu and Chimchar, Dawn is its next victim. Dawn has Piplup and Buneary out when Rotom chases them out of the parlor room. Buneary ran out with Dawn, but when Dawn and Ash meet up in the hall, Ash's Chimchar and Dawn's Buneary have disappeared. Ash could have recalled Chimchar off screen before he got there, but only a moment had passed since Dawn's group ran out of the parlor.

{{fan speculation}}
It is not yet known if there will be '''future generations''' of the Pokémon franchise. However, it has been indicated in the past, that not every Pokémon in the {{pkmn|world}} has been discovered yet, and regions to which unknown Pokémon are native are likely to be revealed gradually. The Pokémon franchise remains very profitable for Nintendo and is currently the second best selling video-game franchise, meaning that the end of the series is likely still far away.

Currently, there are four [[generation]]s of Pokémon games, each with their own set of then-new Pokémon, moves and several other things that have become the pattern of the [[main series]] so far. Although nothing is known at this time about a possible Generation V or beyond, the patterns which have applied to all four current generations are expected to continue to hold true in the future.

What is so far assumed from the patterns that have run from [[Generation I]] to the present about Generation V and beyond is as follows:
*Initially, there will be two versions of the new game, which will differ in capture rates and [[version exclusives]]. A more extensive third version will be released some time later, in which most Pokémon previously exclusive to one of the two versions will be available, but other Pokémon found in both versions will be missing. In the third version, the outfits of the [[player character]]s and [[rival]] will likely change. There will also probably be an extension to the plot in the third version.
**'''Evidence:''' The three-version formula has been used in every generation, although there remains no third version to {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, and there are four games in Generation I. Since [[Generation III]], the player characters have gotten an outfit change in the third version.
*A new [[region]] will be explored. It will be geographically similar to a real-life region in Japan.
**'''Evidence:''' Each of the four generations has been centered in a new region relative to its time: [[Kanto]] in Generation I, [[Johto]] in Generation II, [[Hoenn]] in Generation III, and [[Sinnoh]] in Generation IV. The similarities to Japan's regions are noted [[Pokémon world in relation to the real world|here]].
*A previously unknown [[Pokémon professor]] will reside in this region and have new {{type2|Grass}}, {{type2|Fire}}, and {{type2|Water}} Pokémon available for the player to select for his or her adventure. The professor will be named after a tree in the English version.
**'''Evidence:''' Professors {{prof|Oak}}, {{prof|Elm}}, {{prof|Birch}}, {{prof|Rowan}} and their [[starter Pokémon]].
*More new Pokémon will be introduced. Some may be [[List of Pokémon with cross-generational evolutions|evolved forms]] or [[Baby Pokémon|pre-evolutions]] of Pokémon now known. The amount of new Pokémon introduced will likely not be below 100 or above 151. Specifically, a dual-typed {{2t|Normal|Flying}} bird Pokémon will be introduced along with a mammal-based {{type2|Normal}} Pokémon.
**'''Evidence:''' Each generation after the first has introduced at least two Pokémon related to those of previous generations. The amount of Pokémon released each generation was 151, 100, 135 and 107. As for the birds and mammals, in each generation there has been one of each introduced:
***'''[[Generation I]]''': {{p|Pidgey}} and {{p|Rattata}}. {{p|Spearow}} was also introduced in this generation.
***'''[[Generation II]]''': {{p|Hoothoot}} and {{p|Sentret}}
***'''[[Generation III]]''': {{p|Taillow}} and {{p|Zigzagoon}}
***'''[[Generation IV]]''': {{p|Starly}} and {{p|Bidoof}}
*The new [[regional Pokédex]] will begin with the starter Pokémon and their evolutionary kin as #001-#009, in the order of Grass-Fire-Water. It will lack at least some Pokémon. The [[National Dex]] numbers of new Pokémon will start with #494 for the Grass-type starter and continue on at least up to #593 if at least 100 Pokémon are added.
**'''Evidence:''' [[List of Pokémon by Hoenn Dex number|Hoenn's regional Pokédex]] leaves out 184 Pokémon. [[List of Pokémon by Sinnoh Dex number|Sinnoh's regional Pokédex]] leaves out 342 Pokémon in {{2v2|Diamond|Pearl}} and 283 Pokémon in {{v2|Platinum}}.
*The new region may feature new evolutions of {{p|Eevee}} and new [[Fossil|Fossil Pokémon]].
**'''Evidence: '''Both have happened in three out of the four released generations.
*There will be eight Pokémon [[Gym]]s and an [[Elite Four]], of which each will specialize in a specific [[elemental type]], and a [[Champion]] at the end of the Elite Four. There will also be an evil team that the player will battle and eventually defeat after a battle with its leader.
**'''Evidence:''' This is part of the standard [[version]] formula.
*There will be an {{pkmn|anime}} season or series. In it {{Ash}} will travel to a new region, bringing his Pikachu, and will capture the resident bird Pokémon and at least one [[Starter Pokémon]]. He will have a team consisting of {{AP|Pikachu}}, the bird Pokémon, a {{type2|Water}} Pokémon, a {{type2|Grass}} Pokémon, a {{type2|Fire}} Pokémon, and another Pokémon. He will challenge the [[Gym]]s of the region. He may receive new [[Ash's friends|traveling companions]], and might get a new outfit made by [[Delia Ketchum|his mother]] at the beginning of the new series
**'''Evidence:''' This has happened to every [[Version|main game]] and [[generation]] since {{2v2|Red|Blue}} in [[Generation I]].
*There will be some new [[manga]] produced, some [[Pokémon Special]] chapters written, and new [[Pokémon Trading Card Game|TCG]] cards created.
**'''Evidence:''' This has happened to every [[Version|main game]] and [[generation]] since {{pkmn|Red and Blue}} in [[Generation I]].
*{{p|Pikachu}} will be found in the new region.
**'''Evidence:''' The series mascot can be caught in every portable Pokémon game, except {{game|Yellow}} where it is the starter.
*The evolutionary families of {{p|Geodude}}, {{p|Abra}}, {{p|Zubat}}, {{p|Machop}}, {{p|Psyduck}}, {{p|Goldeen}}, {{p|Tentacool}}, {{p|Magikarp}}, and possibly {{p|Magnemite}} and {{p|Rhyhorn}} will be included within the new region.
**'''Evidence:''' There has not been one [[sea route]] yet where Magikarp or Tentacool/{{p|Tentacruel}} hasn't been found. Magikarp is always catchable with the [[Old Rod]] as well. Goldeen is a common fishing Pokémon as well. Zubat and Geodude or their evolutions can be found in nearly every cave, along with Machop or Abra occasionally. Psyduck is common around lakes or in [[Safari Zone]]s. Magnemite may also be included in an industrial type location, like a [[Power Plant]]. This isn't certain as it was not included in the original [[Sinnoh]] Pokédex, but was later included in the {{v2|Platinum}} Sinnoh Pokédex addition.
*There will be at least one [[legendary trio]] in the next generation, as well as at least one Über legendary and one [[event Pokémon]]. In total, there will be more than 14 new legendary Pokémon.
**'''Evidence:''' Generation I has exactly one of each of the above, and all subsequent generations have expanded on this number in some way. The number of new legendaries has increased for each Generation: 5 in Generation I, 6 in Generation II, 10 in Generation III and 14 in Generation IV.
*The new generation will be playable on a new handheld game system.
**'''Evidence:''' Every new generation so far has been released for the newest Nintendo handheld console relative to its time.
***[[Pokémon Red and Blue Versions|Pokémon Red, Blue, Green]] and [[Pokémon Yellow Version|Yellow]] for the [[Game Boy]].
***{{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}} for the [[Game Boy Color]].
***[[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire Versions|Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire]], {{3v2|FireRed|LeafGreen|Emerald}} for the [[Game Boy Advance]].
***[[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Versions|Pokémon Diamond, Pearl]], {{v2|Platinum}}, [[Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver Versions|HeartGold, and SoulSilver]] for the [[Nintendo DS]].
*The new generation will introduce some new battling mechanics, and will likely have graphical improvements.
**'''Evidence''': This has happened in every generation since the first.
***[[Gen II]]: Introduced a split in {{stat|Special}} into {{stat|Special Attack}} and {{stat|Special Defense}}, as well as other additions, such as [[weather conditions]] and held items. Also, introduced animated sprites and slightly better graphics.
***[[Gen III]]: Introduced [[Ability|abilities]], and reorganized [[EV]]'s and [[IV]]'s. Graphics were greatly improved from Gen II as well.
***[[Gen IV]]: Redefined the difference between [[Physical move|Physical]] and [[Special move|Special]] attacks. Introduced 3D environments and made graphics more realistic and less cartoony.
*Before the first duo of games is released, at least three Pokémon of the next generation will appear in the anime first, at least one of which will appear prior to their official debut or fairly unnannouced. As of late, they will likely debut in a movie, then possibly shortly afterwards be captured by a main character.
**'''Evidence:''' This has happened to every generation yet aside from the first:
***[[Gen II]]: {{p|Ho-Oh}} in ''[[EP001|Pokémon - I Choose You!]]'', {{p|Togepi}} in ''[[EP050|Who Gets To Keep Togepi?]]'', {{p|Marill}} and {{p|Snubbull}} in ''[[PK01|Pikachu's Vacation]]'', {{p|Donphan}} in ''[[Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'', and {{p|Lugia}} and {{p|Slowking}} in ''[[The Power of One]]''.
***[[Gen III]]: {{p|Kecleon}} in ''[[EP205|The Kecleon Caper]]'', {{p|Wynaut}} in ''[[EP251|Beauty is Skin Deep]]'', {{p|Azurill}} in ''[[PK10|Pikachu's PikaBoo]]'', and {{p|Blaziken}} in ''[[EP265|Pop Goes the Sneasel]]''.
***[[Gen IV]]: {{p|Munchlax}} in ''[[Destiny Deoxys]]'', {{p|Lucario}}, {{p|Bonsly}}, {{p|Mime Jr.}}, and {{p|Weavile}} in ''[[Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]'', and {{p|Buizel}}, {{p|Chatot}}, {{p|Mantyke}}, and {{p|Manaphy}} in ''[[Pokémon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea]]''.
* Somewhere between the beginning of the main games and the third Gym will be a forest/woods. The forest/woods will most likely be named according to a nearby town.
**'''Evidence:''' Every generation has had some sort of forest or woods, with [[Ilex Forest]] of the Johto region being the only one not named after a nearby location.
*There will be at least 20 numbered routes within the games. These include surfing routes, among other things. There will also be at least one cave.
**'''Evidence:''' There has been a cave, sea route, and at least 19 other routes in every main game.

*Before the first duo of games is released, at least three Pokémon of the next generation will appear in the anime first, at least one of which will appear prior to their official debut or fairly unnannouced. As of late, they will likely debut in a movie, then possibly shortly afterwards be captured by a main character.
**'''Evidence:''' This has happened to every generation yet aside from the first:
***[[Gen II]]: {{p|Ho-Oh}} in ''[[EP001|Pokémon - I Choose You!]]'', {{p|Togepi}} in ''[[EP050|Who Gets To Keep Togepi?]]'', {{p|Marill}} and {{p|Snubbull}} in ''[[PK01|Pikachu's Vacation]]'', {{p|Donphan}} in ''[[Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'', and {{p|Lugia}} and {{p|Slowking}} in ''[[The Power of One]]''.
***[[Gen III]]: {{p|Kecleon}} in ''[[EP205|The Kecleon Caper]]'', {{p|Wynaut}} in ''[[EP251|Beauty is Skin Deep]]'', {{p|Azurill}} in ''[[PK10|Pikachu's PikaBoo]]'', and {{p|Blaziken}} in ''[[EP265|Pop Goes the Sneasel]]''.
***[[Gen IV]]: {{p|Munchlax}} in ''[[Destiny Deoxys]]'', {{p|Lucario}}, {{p|Bonsly}}, {{p|Mime Jr.}}, and {{p|Weavile}} in ''[[Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]'', and {{p|Buizel}}, {{p|Chatot}}, {{p|Mantyke}}, and {{p|Manaphy}} in ''[[Pokémon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea]]''.
* Somewhere between the beginning of the main games and the third Gym will be a forest/woods. The forest/woods will most likely be named according to a nearby town.
**'''Evidence:''' Every generation has had some sort of forest or woods, with [[Ilex Forest]] of the Johto region being the only one not named after a nearby location.
*There will be at least 20 numbered routes within the games. These include surfing routes, among other things. There will also be at least one cave.
**'''Evidence:''' There has been a cave, sea route, and at least 19 other routes in every main game.

'''Rattata''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''コラッタ''' ''Koratta'') is a {{type2|Normal}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolve]]s into {{p|Raticate}} starting at [[level]] 20.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Rattata is a small, but unspecialized rodent. Its most notable feature is its large teeth. Like most rodents their teeth grow continuously throughout its life, and must be constantly worn down by gnawing. It has long whiskers and a long, slightly curled tail. Rattata has purple fur on its back, and cream colored fur on its stomach. This coloration (dark on top, light on bottom) is a common protective mechanism for many small animals.
====Gender differences====
A female has shorter whiskers.
====Special abilities====
Rattata have very basic survival needs, permitting them to thrive in nearly any environment. Because they reproduce so quickly, a pair of Rattata can quickly colonize an area. Rattata are also very quick, and their teeth grow constantly.

===Behavior===
Rattata have a fast metabolism. As a result, it spends most of its fast-paced life looking for food. Thanks to their sharp fangs, they are able to eat nearly anything. However, because they constantly need to chew on hard material to keep their teeth at a manageable length, it is hard to tell if they are actually eating something, or merely gnawing on it. When they are threatened, Rattata can deliver a powerful bite. In addition to its highly unspecialized diet, Rattata will also build their nests virtually anywhere. They are a common sight in many places, and can become a nuisance due to their rapid reproductive rate. It is said that for every one Rattata, forty other are hidden somewhere. Most young {{pkmn|Trainer}}s will train Rattata due to their easy accessibility.
===Habitat===
[[Image:Grassland.gif|right|frame|[[List of Pokémon by habitat#Grassland Pokémon|Grassland Pokémon]]]]
Rattata naturally live in plains and savannas. However, they are found in most areas due to their ability to survive nearly any environment.

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

Rattata are not picky when it comes to food, and will eat nearly anything edible. However, they're sometimes found in possession of the [[Chilan Berry (Generation IV)|Chilan Berry]].

In the [[EP001|first episode]] of the anime series, Ash's Pokédex also states that Rattata "likes cheese, nuts, fruit and berries... [and will] steal food from [[Ash Ketchum|''stupid'' travelers]]."

==In the anime==
[[Image:Rattatanime.jpg|200px|thumb|right|Rattata in [[EP001|the first episode]]]]
===Major appearances===
Rattata debuted in the [[EP001|first episode]] of the [[Pokémon anime|series]], trying to steal food from {{Ash}}'s bag.

[[A.J.]] has three Rattata, as shown in ''[[EP008|The Path to the Pokémon League]]''.

{{an|Casey}} also has a Rattata, whose only appearance was in ''[[EP118|The Double Trouble Header]]''. It is unknown what became of this Rattata in her later appearances.

===Minor appearances===
A Rattata was used by one of the students of the [[Pokémon Trainer's School]] in ''[[AG015|Gonna Rule The School!]]''.

Rattata appeared in ''[[DP061|Team Shocker!]]'' under the ownership of a coordinator.

Many Rattata appeared in ''[[DP071|Pokémon Ranger and the Kidnapped Riolu! Part One]]''.

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

Groups of several Rattata appeared in ''[[DP109|Leading a Stray!]]'' and ''[[DP110|Steeling Peace of Mind!]]''.

===Pokédex entries===
{{Animedexheader|Kanto}}
{{Animedexbody|EP001|Rattata|Ash's Pokédex|A Forest Pokémon, Rattata. It likes [[Pokémon food|cheese, nuts, fruits]], and [[Berry|berries]]. It also comes out into open fields to steal food from {{Ash|''stupid travelers''}}.}}
{{Animedexfooter/Pokémon|Original|Kanto}}

==In the manga==
===In the Pokémon Special manga===
Rattata's first appearance is a cameo in the [[Red, Green & Blue chapter (Special)|Red, Green & Blue]] chapter in ''[[PS002|Bulbasaur, Come Home!]]'' as one of the Pokémon that escapes from [[Professor Oak's Laboratory]]. However Rattata doesn't debut until ''[[PS009|...But Fearow Itself!]]'' when [[Bill]] is transformed into one in an accident with his Pokémon transporter.

A Rattata is {{Special|Yellow}}'s first Pokémon that later evolves into a {{p|Raticate}}. Also, {{Special|Gold}} has a friend that specializes in training Rattata, based on the [[Pokémon Gold and Silver]] character, [[Youngster]] [[Joey]].

==Trivia==
* Rattata's name originally had a "K" at the end, but it was dropped.
* In [[Generation I]] and {{pkmn|FireRed and LeafGreen}}, it is tied as being the most common land-based Pokémon available, the other being {{p|Pidgey}}.
* Rattata is notorious for being associated with the [[Appendix:F.E.A.R.|F.E.A.R.]] strategy.
* Rattata and {{p|Raticate}} share the same [[species]] name with {{p|Pikachu}}, {{p|Raichu}}, {{p|Sandshrew}}, and {{p|Sandslash}}. They are all known as Mouse Pokémon, though Rattata and Raticate have also been called Rat Pokémon in Generations I and II. Rattata and Raticate's species name was changed to 'Mouse' in Generation III onwards.
* Rattata and its evolution comprise the first two-stage evolutionary family in National Dex order.
* Out of all the {{type2|Normal}} Pokémon found in the first [[route]] of each [[region]] (Rattata, {{p|Sentret}}, {{p|Zigzagoon}}, and {{p|Bidoof}}), Rattata has the highest [[base stats|base stat total]].
* Rattata is the first pure {{type2|Normal}} in National Dex order.
* All of its sprites, with the exception of those from [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon 2]], [[Pok%C3%A9mon Ruby and Sapphire Versions]] and [[Pok%C3%A9mon Emerald Version]], depict it with its mouth open.
===Origin===
It appears to be based on a rat.
====Name origin====
Rattata's name obviously incorporates ''{{wp|rat}}'' into it, but the etymology of ''tata'' is not as clear. ''Rat-a-tat'' is the sound of knocking on wood or the sound a {{wp|Thompson submachine gun|Tommy gun}} makes. It could also be a combination of ''rat'' and ''attack''. ''Koratta'' is derived from the prefix 小 ''ko'', small, and ''rat''.

*[[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Rattata
*[[List of Korean Pokémon names|Korean]]: 꼬렛 ''Kkoret''
*[[List of Chinese Pokémon names|Chinese (Taiwan)]]: 小拉達 ''Xiǎolādá'' - Transliteration of Rattata's Japanese name, Koratta. Literally “little Ratta (Raticate's Japanese name)”.
*[[List of Chinese Pokémon names|Chinese (Hong Kong)]]: 小哥達 ''Xiǎogēdá'' - "Little Koratta" which is a little redundant since ''ko'' in Koratta already means little.
