CubeShapedWatermelon: /* In Game Trades? */ new section

I'm a tad comfused on how this works, can this be explained more clearly? Does it mean like i could get a japanese pokemon from the GTS and breed it with one of my pokemon?
-- [[User:GoldHuksy|GoldHusky]] ''([[User talk:GoldHuksy|talk]])'' 14:11, 4 October 2009 (UTC)
:Exactly. And the offspring has a higher chance of being shiny. —'''darklord[[User talk:The dark lord trombonator|trom]]''' 19:36, 4 October 2009 (UTC)

Does anyone know if this works for ALL languages, or just Japanese? Say I get my hands on a British/English Pokemon and put it on my American card, does it work the same?

== May I? ==

The information in the article is a little confusing to read unless you read it through four times straight. May I make a section on the article listing everything that counts and doesn't? For example saying "''Players can use one Pokémon from their own game (male or female) and one Pokémon from a foreign game (male or female), this will increase the chances of the egg hatching a shiny. Using two Pokémon from a foreign game will have the same odds, and Pokémon from Meister do not count as they are not from a foreign cartridge of the game''" ect, ect. So yeah, can I? [[User:Takoto| - Takoto]] 20:35, 15 December 2009 (UTC)

== Ditto? ==

I realize this works with a foreign, say, Marill and your own Ditto, but would it work with a foreign ''Ditto'' and your own Marill? Basically, I'm asking if Ditto is an exception at all. [[User:Sadistic Blaziken|Sadistic Blaziken]] 04:57, 30 June 2010 (UTC)
:There are no exceptions to this rule. Just as long as the Pokemon was generated on a foreign game (so basically, no Lt Surge's Pikachu, or Meister's Magikarp), it'll work. So yeah, foreign Ditto/your Marill would work. ▫▫'''[[User:Tina|ティナ]]'''[[User talk:Tina|♫]][[Special:Contributions/Tina|★]] 05:27, 1 July 2010 (UTC)

== In Game Trades? ==

If I use the foreign Pikachu in HG/SS or the foreign Magikarp in D/P/P as a parent, will the Masuda method work on their offspring? [[User:CubeShapedWatermelon|CubeShapedWatermelon]] 04:34, 15 July 2010 (UTC)

Novelty Pokémon

2010-07-09T19:10:58Z

CubeShapedWatermelon: /* List of novelty Pokémon */ There. Twisted the phrasing to make the addition of the stick support Farfetch'd's role as a novelty Pokémon.

A '''novelty Pokémon''', also referred to as a '''gimmick Pokémon''', is a term for a Pokémon species without evolutions, little use in battle, and/or a limited movepool. Such Pokémon usually possess some novel quality about them that makes them unique or interesting but lack the ability to be readily shaped up for battle, causing them to be underused or overlooked. Although nearly all Pokémon can be used in a battle effectively, novelty Pokémon appear to be more added to flesh out the Pokémon world than to be actually used or as fodder for potential evolutions later.

Many of these Pokémon became viable participants in [[Pokémon Contest]]s after they were introduced in [[Generation III]], and some fans believe that the introduction of contests were to give players a reason to use these weaker Pokémon.

==List of novelty Pokémon==
* '''{{p|Farfetch'd}}''' was a novelty Pokémon in the [[Generation I|first generation]] due to the fact it was only acquired by in-game [[trade]]. Post Generation I, Farfetch'd has been relegated to being simply a novelty namely due to its common typing and dismal stats (none being over 65); in addition, Farfetch'd was given its own unique novelty item, the [[Stat-enhancing item#Stick|Stick]].
* '''{{p|Ditto}}''' only has one move — {{m|Transform}} — which lets it copy the appearance, types, moves, and stats (excluding HP) of its opponents. Ditto is not very useful in battle, but invaluable in {{pkmn|breeding}}.
* '''{{p|Unown}}''''s main purpose in the games is to be collected, a sidequest that consists of finding its {{tt|28|26 in Generation II}} [[Form differences|forms]]. Capable of learning only {{m|Hidden Power|one move}}, it is nearly useless in battle and contests.
* '''{{p|Shuckle}}''' has very high {{stat|Defense}} and {{stat|Special Defense}}, making it extremely tough. But it has very low {{stat|HP}}, {{stat|Attack}} and {{stat|Special Attack}}, and it is tied with {{p|Munchlax}} for the lowest {{stat|Speed}} of any other Pokémon. However, it is capable of creating valuable [[Rare Candy|Rare Candies]] if one has it hold an [[Oran Berry]].
* '''{{p|Delibird}}''' is capable of naturally learning only {{m|Present|a single move}} and is the only Pokémon who can [[signature moves|learn it naturally]]. However, unlike Unown, it can learn other moves via TMs and breeding. But, it is largely still considered a novelty Pokémon because of its poor typing and low stats.
* '''{{p|Smeargle}}''' learns only {{m|Sketch|one move repeatedly}}, but this move has the ability to permanently duplicate the moves of other Pokémon. Its stats and rarity may look dismal, but with the capability of learning every move, it is very useful in breeding egg moves to Pokémon, as well as using {{m|Baton Pass}} well.
* '''{{p|Sableye}}''' was the only Pokémon with no weaknesses until {{p|Spiritomb}} was introduced in [[Generation IV]]. In Generation IV, it still is a novelty Pokémon due to its bizarre, but unique ability; {{a|Stall}}.
* '''{{p|Plusle}}''' and '''{{p|Minun}}''' were simply created to showcase the [[double battle]] addition to the series in Generation III. As such, they are difficult to use separately.
* '''{{p|Spinda}}''''s main gimmick is the variable designs on its body, in a bit of an expansion of the Unown concept. However, having extremely low stats, and being of the ever common {{type2|Normal}}, it is not considered to be very useful in battle.
* '''{{p|Castform}}''' has a {{a|Forecast|unique ability}} to change [[form differences|form]] and type depending on the weather. It was also the only Pokémon to learn {{m|Weather Ball}} until Generation IV. However, the same things that make it unique, also make it extremely difficult to use in battle.
* '''{{p|Kecleon}}''' has a {{a|Color Change|unique ability}} unto itself where it changes types whenever it is hit by an attack; however, like Castform, this ability makes it notoriously difficult to use in battles, as the ability can be taken advantage of for super-effective hits every time.
* '''{{p|Luvdisc}}''' are known to be weak and have a poor moveset, but can be caught holding [[Heart Scale]]s which can be used to teach old moves.
* '''{{p|Burmy}}''' and its various cloaks are considered just to be an example of the new location based evolutions, as well as the items that can be received by collecting all three.
* '''{{p|Pachirisu}}''' have very low offensive stats and none of its abilities have any effect in battle; however, is one of the few Pokémon able to learn {{m|Super Fang}}.
* '''{{p|Chatot}}''' is comparatively weak to others of its type, and it also has a low catch rate, but it can use {{m|Chatter}} to repeat back messages recorded on the [[Nintendo DS|DS]] microphone.

'''Marill''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''マリル''' ''Maril'') is a {{type2|Water}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Azurill}} via [[happiness]], and evolves into {{p|Azumarill}} starting at [[level]] 18.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Marill is a small blue mammalian Pokémon. It has a nearly spherical shape with a white underside (belly) and round ears with red ear insides. It also possesses a wiry black tail with a blue "bubble" on the end of it. The tail's jagged appearance originally led people to believe that it was related to {{p|Pikachu}}. Marill's tail is flexible and configured to stretch. When ungroomed, it smells like a dust mop.
====Gender differences====
None.

====Special abilities====
Aside from being able to swim well, it also has excellent hearing. It has water-repellent fur that allows it ease of swimming and reduces friction with the water.

===Behavior===
When fishing for food at the edge of a fast-running stream, Marill wraps its tail around the trunk of a tree. Although the behavior of bouncing on its tail is more commonly characterized by its pre-evolution, Azurill, as evidenced by the episode ''[[AG032|Abandon Ship!]]'' Marill may also do this on occasion.

===Habitat===
[[File:Watersedge.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Water's-edge Pokémon}}]]
This Pokémon is normally found in and around fresh water.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}
Marill's diet mainly includes water grasses on riverbeds.

==In the anime==
[[File:Marill.png|thumb|right|235px|Marill in the anime]]
===Major appearances===

* {{TFG|Next Quest}}: {{TFG ID|Next Quest|Marill|31}}

==Other appearances==
===[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]===
When released from a Poké Ball, Marill will immediately start running in the direction the ball was thrown. Any opponents in the way will be juggled with its {{m|Tackle}} attack. It can be knocked off the screen with a strong enough attack.

====Trophy information====
This Aqua Mouse Pokémon evolves into Azumarill. The round ball on the end of its tail acts like a flotation device, so it can float safely on the roughest of water conditions. It resides on [[Mt. Mortar]] in seclusion; few of the creatures are ever seen. Marill's cuteness has earned it a large and loyal fan base.

==Trivia==
[[Image:Alpha mariru.png|thumb|150px|Early concept art for Marill]]
*Marill's early design had a pink body instead of blue, noticebly smaller ears, and lacked the erractic tail pattern.
* For months prior to to the release of {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}, Marill was often incorrectly referred to as "Pikablu", likely because of its slight resemblance to {{p|Pikachu}}.
* Marill's name was originally spelled '''Marril''', as shown in some merchandise for [[M01|the first movie]].
* Marill was the fourth Generation II Pokémon to appear before the Johto series (after {{p|Ho-Oh}}, {{TP|Misty|Togepi}} and {{p|Donphan}})
* Marill is the only Pokémon that evolves from a pure {{type2|Normal}} Pokémon but isn't a Normal-type itself, other than the [[Eeveelution]]s.
*Marill is similar to Pikachu in several ways, such as both having an evolution introduced in the same generation as themselves and a [[Baby Pokémon|pre-evolution]] introduced in the next generation.

===Origin===
It may be based upon a combination of a {{wp|mouse}} and a {{wp|beach ball}}. Its body and ears also resemble a {{wp|water molecule}}.

====Name origin====
Marill's name may be a combination of ''marine'', of the water, and ''rill'', a small river or brook. The name may also come from a contraction of the phrase ''marine blue''. In Japanese, it's possible that the name could have derived from 丸い ''marui'', ''round'' or ''circular'', or 鞠 ''mari'', ball, and 瑠璃 ''ruri'', {{wp|lapis lazuli}}.

==In other languages==
*[[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Marill
*[[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Marill
*[[List of Korean Pokémon names|Korean]]: 마릴 ''Maril''
*[[List of Chinese Pokémon names|Chinese (Taiwan)]]: 瑪力露 ''Mǎ Lì Lù'' - Transliteration of its Japanese name.

== [[Pokémon playing cards]] ==

Hi. I turned your playing card page to fancy tables, and while searching for more info I found two images on the net that are obviously of the blue deck you have. Apparently you made some slight mixups with some of the suits, but I fixed them. Problem is, those two images were two out of three and the third one apparently got deleted so I couldn't complete it. Now, you listed both Lickitung and Golem as the two of spades. One is clearly wrong, and I'm guessing it's supposed to be the two of clubs. Please check again which is which. Thanks. --[[User:ElectAbuzzzz|'''electAbuzz''']][[User talk:ElectAbuzzzz|'''z''']][[Special:Contributions/ElectAbuzzzz|'''z''']] 21:56, 7 March 2010 (UTC)

== Turtwig A, would you be able to help me? ==

I have found it difficult lately to muster even one edit. Although I have discovered a Pokémon book that Bulbapedia seems to currently not have an article for, it will not last long for my edits and thus I ask if there are any specific tasks I could perform to raise my edits. It is disparaging for me not to be able to help, and merely browsing Stubs has little chance of "curing" my condition. Is there anything, considering my specific skills, that you recommend that I do? [[User:Steph|Steph]] 23:21, 15 April 2010 (UTC)
:Sorry, I can't help. I can't seem to find edits either. The only things I have right now are randomly finding pages through links and editing them or looking through HGSS stuff and finding errors there.

::Leave those book articles to me (at least I will try to write as many articles as I can, not now coz of my exams). Well, you should keep an eye on your watchlist because the bulba traffic is still high and some users are adding useless/false info continuously (specially in the anime episodes articles). So, I think it will be great to inspect articles at this time. What do you think? ♫♪[[User:Adyniz|'''Ady''']][[User talk:Adyniz|'''Niz''']]♪♫ 10:08, 17 April 2010 (UTC)

When I said charmander was the worst and bulbasaur was the best I meant that most people say it is bulbasaur is better. Not that I like bulbasaur more and think it is better.

'''Falkner''' (Japanese: '''ハヤト''' ''Hayato'') is the [[Gym Leader]] of [[Violet City]]'s [[Gym]], known officially as the [[Violet Gym]]. He hands out the {{badge|Zephyr}} to {{pkmn|Trainer}}s who defeat him. He specializes in {{type2|Flying}} [[Pokémon]].

==In the games==
[[File:Gold Silver Falkner.png|140px|thumb|left|Headshot of Falkner from {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}]]
Falkner appears in {{game5|Gold|Silver|Crystal|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, where he is the first Gym Leader players will encounter. A master of {{type2|Flying}} Pokémon, Falkner runs the [[Violet Gym]], which he inherited from his father; the Pokémon he uses in battle also formerly belonged to him. Falker's father is reported to be traveling, but is never seen in the game (unlike [[Janine]]'s [[Koga|father]]).

Known as "The Elegant Master of Flying Pokémon", Falkner is adored as a cool and handsome trainer. He is, however, overshadowed by his absent father, who is said to have been cooler and even more handsome. Perhaps because of this, Falkner aspires to be the greatest bird master. Falkner uses, notably, the lowest leveled Pokémon found in any Gym in any region. His {{p|Pidgeotto}}, in fact, is at an [[underleveled|illegitimate level]]. Once defeated in battle, he will award winners with the {{badge|Zephyr}} and a Technical Machine: {{tm|31|Mud-Slap}} in [[Generation II]]; {{tm|51|Roost}} in [[Generation IV]]. In each generation, his Pokémon know the respective TM; Falkner uses this move as part of his battle strategy.

Like all Gym Leaders in {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, Falkner will venture out of his Gym occasionally. Once the player has obtained 16 badges, Falkner will journey every Monday to [[Celadon City]] so he can visit the [[Celadon Department Store|Department Store]]. He can be found talking with fellow Gym Leader [[Janine]], of [[Fuchsia City]], on the fourth floor, and will exchange [[Pokégear]] phone numbers with the player. Once this task has been completed, Falkner will travel to the [[Fighting Dojo]] in [[Saffron City]] every Saturday morning to accept a rematch with a stronger team of Pokémon. In addition, he may also participate in the [[Pokéathlon]]'s Supreme Cup in the Jump Course with his {{p|Pidgeot}}, {{p|Swellow}}, and {{p|Staraptor}}.

Falkner is also in [[Pokémon Stadium 2]]'s Johto [[Gym Leader Castle]]. Unlike other Gym Leaders in this game, all of his Pokémon are of his specialist type.

==In the anime==
[[Image:Anime Falkner.png|left|180px|thumb|Falkner in the anime]]

Falkner's only anime appearance was in the episode ''[[EP131|Fighting Flyer with Fire]]''.

When [[Ash's Pikachu]] was stolen by [[Team Rocket]], Falkner arrived and rescued it with the help of his {{TP|Falkner|Pidgeot}}. He flew around on a glider, yearning to be as close to Flying Pokémon as he possibly could be. He is usually seen with his {{p|Hoothoot}} on his shoulder.

Falkner has a self-righteous attitude when it comes to Pokémon training, which angered {{Ash}}. Falkner also expressed an intense dislike for the assumption many trainers make that Flying-type Pokémon will always lose to {{type2|Electric}}s, but proved to be slightly hypocritical as he criticized Ash's poor choice of using {{AP|Chikorita}} (a {{type2|Grass}} that is weak to Flying-types) in their match.

The [[Violet Gym]] itself is a very tall, spiral-shaped building. Falkner conducts his matches on the roof of the Gym, accompanied by many students who chant in unison during his battles.

Ash was able to win the {{badge|Zephyr}}, despite his {{AP|Charizard}}'s wing being severely injured during the match.

[[File:Falkner Special.png|thumb|Falkner in the ''GSC'' chapter]]
In [[Pokémon Adventures]], Falkner is a part-time police [[officer]], first seen in ''[[PS094|VS. Elekid]]'' in uniform. Falkner is the arresting officer at the scene after {{adv|Silver}} stole {{TP|Silver|Totodile}} from [[Professor Elm]]'s laboratory, pinning the burnt yard on {{adv|Gold}}. Gold, however, cooperates with Falkner (under threat of interrogation and being arrested) when it is revealed he is the only one to have seen Silver's face, although Gold totally blows it on purpose so he could go after Silver himself. Falkner offers Gold and [[Joey|Grant]] a place to stay for the night at the police station in [[Cherrygrove City]], but Gold turns it down and runs off with Grant in tow.

Falkner properly introduces himself in ''[[PS099|VS. Sunkern]]'' when they meet once again. He is revealed not yet to be the {{ci|Violet}} [[Gym Leader]], but is training his team in attempt to acquire the position his father (the previous Gym Leader) left behind mysteriously; this is Falkner's dream. {{p|Skarmory}}, a foe Falkner says he's encountered before, then attacks the duo, having been said to be terrorizing the area and is currently attacking herds of {{p|Sunkern}}. Falkner sends {{p|Noctowl}} and {{p|Pidgeotto}} to attack it, but notes they aren't delivering much damage. Gold helps Falkner by sending out his freshly caught {{p|Sunkern|Sintaro}} to bounce [[Explotaro]] into range of the Skarmory, dealing a heavy blow using {{m|Ember}}. Falkner then catches it, adding it to his team, and invites Gold to train with him. Gold declines the offer, as he has Silver to catch, but they makes plans to meet later once their objectives are met. In this chapter, [[Bill]] is also on his way to find Falkner, to tell him a date for his Gym Leader qualification exam has been set.
[[Image:Falkner HGSS Adventures.png|thumb|130px|left|Falkner in the ''HG/SS'' chapter]]
In ''[[PS104|VS. Ariados]]'', it is revealed Falkner passed the [[Gym Leader]] exam. Unlike in the English games, Falkner's badge is referred to as the "Wing Badge," its Japanese name, instead of the {{Badge|Zephyr}} (this may be a translation error).

During ''[[PS138|VS. Raikou and Entei (Part 1)]]'' and ''[[PS138|(Part 2)]]'', Falkner is out training Skarmory and Noctowl when he comes across a [[Bird Keeper]] poaching. A rainstorm suddenly begins, caused by {{p|Raikou}}'s presence. {{p|Entei}} is also there, and Falkner is forced to save the Bird Keeper from being attacked by the duo, escaping on Skarmory. As they {{m|fly}}, the pair of Beasts give chase, and Falkner considers {{p|Suicune}}'s recent activity challenging Gym Leaders, and deduces the other two are doing the same. He issues a challenge to them, using Skarmory. Raikou and Entei attack two-on-one, pinning them between {{t|fire}} and {{t|Electric|electricity}}. Once they attack at the same time, however, Skarmory uses {{m|Agility}} to dodge as {{m|Spark}} and {{m|Fire Blast}} collide and cancels each other out. Falkner attempts capturing both, but Suicune appears to prevent the Poké Balls from operating with {{m|BubbleBeam}}.

The Bird Keeper suggests escaping, but Falkner isn't interested, instead turning to attack Suicune, who shatters Skarmory's wing. In one last attempt, Falkner tries to capture Suicune, but Raikou and Entei return the previous favor by destroying the Poké Balls. Skarmory begins to plummet to earth. However, Suicune saves the three of them, before the Beast trio flee. With their escape, Falkner laments on how he wouldn't have defeated Raikou and Entei even without Suicune's interference, and formally arrests the Bird Keeper under suspicion of poaching.

Falkner's father is speculated to be [[Wayne]]. He also uses [[Poké Ball]]s that have been turned into boomerangs by attaching Skarmory's shed feathers to their sides.

==Trivia==
* His Japanese Leader title is {{tt|華麗なる飛行ポケモン使い|Magnificent Flying Pokémon Tamer}}.
* Falkner is the only [[Gym Leader]] yet that is encountered first by players that does not use {{type2|Rock}} Pokémon.
**Interestingly, one of the {{type2|Flying}}'s weaknesses is of the Rock-type.
** This is likely due to the fact that [[Kanto]] and its Gym Leaders were included in the [[Generation II]] games, where [[Brock|a Rock-specialist Gym Leader]] lives, as well as the fact that 16 Gyms could cover 16 of the 17 [[elemental types]].
* Falkner is the only Gym Leader, besides [[Brock]] in [[Generation I]], who gives out a TM that contains a move that is not of his Gym's specialty type.
**In Generation IV, however, he gives the player [[TM51]], {{m|Roost}}.
* Falkner's Pokémon are the lowest level of any Gym Leader. His level 7 and 9 (9 and 13 in [[Generation IV]]) Pokémon include an [[underleveled]] {{p|Pidgeotto}} that is unobtainable in games other than {{game|Yellow}}, {{game|HeartGold}}, and {{game|SoulSilver}}.
* Falkner is the only [[Gym Leader]] from either [[Kanto]] or [[Johto]] to only use Pokémon of his {{t|Flying|Gym's specialty type}}, even in the [[Pokémon Stadium series]].
* Falkner's updated [[Sugimori]] artwork depicts him in a pose very similar to that of his Generation II sprite.
* Falkner appears as an opponent in [[Pokémon Puzzle Challenge]]. He uses a {{p|Pidgey}} to battle.
* Falkner, in [[Generation IV]], became the first Gym Leader that the player encounters first to give out a [[TM]] that is incapable of inflicting any damage.
* Counting all media, only two of Falkner's Pokémon are not in the {{egg3|Flying}}; these are {{p|Charizard}} and {{p|Gligar}}, both part of his Round 2 team in [[Pokémon Stadium 2]].

'''Gyarados''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ギャラドス''' ''Gyarados'') is a dual-type {{2t|Water|Flying}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Magikarp}} starting at [[level]] 20.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Gyarados is a large dragon Pokémon most similar in appearance to those seen in Chinese mythology. Its serpentine body is largely blue, but its underbelly and the spots along its body are yellow. It has a three-pointed, dark blue crest on its head and four white fins down its back. Its mouth is very large and gaping, but bears some resemblance to that of its pre-evolution {{p|Magikarp}}. Like Magikarp, it has barbels on its face. Its pectoral and dorsal fins also resemble Magikarp's. Gyarados is only rarely shown with its mouth closed.

====Gender differences====
A female has white barbels.

====Special abilities====
Gyarados, like most dragon-like Pokémon, has a high {{Stat|Attack}} stat, causing it to rely more on physical attacks than special ones. It is one of the few {{type2|Water}}s able to wield both {{type2|Fire}} and {{type2|Electric}} attacks. Its fangs can crush stones and its scales are harder than steel.

===Behavior===
This Pokémon bears little resemblance to its docile {{p|Magikarp|pre-evolution}}. Gyarados is infamously known for its fierce temper and wanton destructive tendencies. Once it has worked itself into a frenzy, it will not calm until everything around it is destroyed—this tendency is attributed to the dramatic structural changes its brain undergoes during evolution. It seems attracted to violence, although this Pokémon is very rarely seen in the wild. During times of human conflict Gyarados are said to appear, burning entire cities down to the ground.

===Habitat===
[[Image:Watersedge.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Water's-edge Pokémon}}]]
Gyarados usually live in large bodies of water, such as lakes and ponds or even seas and oceans. The [[Lake of Rage]] is the best known nesting area for Gyarados, and most famously, the [[red Gyarados]], however, they are still quite rare even in the Lake Of Rage, as they are seldom found in the wild.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

==In the anime==
[[File:Gyarados 2.jpg|thumb|210px|right|[[Misty's Gyarados]] in ''[[AG045|A Togepi Mirage!]]'']]
[[File:Gyarados Hyper Beam.png|thumb|210px|[[Red Gyarados]] using {{m|Hyper Beam}}]]
===Major appearances===
====[[Misty's Gyarados]]====
{{an|Misty}} obtained a Gyarados after passing the [[Pokémon Inspection Agency|PIA]] test in ''[[SS002|Cerulean Blues]]''. Prior to the test, Misty was terrified of Gyarados, but in order to pass the test, she had to overcome her fear of it. In the end, she calmed and kept the Gyarados.

====[[Red Gyarados]]====
''[[EP235|Talkin' 'Bout an Evolution]]'' and ''[[EP236|Rage Of Innocence]]'' focused on a [[red Gyarados]]. It was on a destructive rampage until [[Lance]] captured it. This Gyarados appeared again in ''[[AG097|Gaining Groudon]]'' and ''[[AG098|The Scuffle of Legends]]'' to stop the feuding of {{p|Groudon}} and {{p|Kyogre}}.

====Other====
Gyarados had a cameo appearance in ''[[EP001|Pokémon - I Choose You!]]'' It was then seen in ''[[EP016|Pokémon Shipwreck]]''. [[James]] was frustrated with his {{p|Magikarp}} and kicked it into the water. That Magikarp [[Evolution|evolved]] into a Gyarados.

Groups of Gyarados were seen from within a submarine disguised as or styled after a Gyarados by [[Jessie]], [[James]], and {{MTR}} in ''[[EP067|The Pi-Kahuna]]'' shortly before the onset of a massive, annual tidal wave celebrated by local surfers who were apparently not aware of the annual migration. According to James, the Gyarados gathered each year in this location to lay their eggs.

A male Gyarados was used in ''[[DP083|A Crasher Course in Power!]]'', under the ownership of [[Crasher Wake]].

===Minor appearances===
In ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'', a Gyarados owned by [[Fergus]] was one of the Pokémon that were captured and cloned by {{an|Mewtwo}}. Fergus attacked Mewtwo with Gyarados' Hyper Beam but Mewtwo turned the attack back on itself, knocking the Gyarados out. The Gyarados clone is seen again in ''[[Mewtwo Returns]]''.

A Gyarados appeared in ''[[EP083|Poké Ball Peril]]''.

[[Nurse Joy]] had befriended a {{pkmn2|giant}} Magikarp that later evolved into Gyarados in ''[[EP092|The Joy of Pokémon]]''. Despite Magikarp being giant, it was regular-sized as a Gyarados.

The Magikarp that [[Dr. Quackenpoker]] had been observing evolved into Gyarados in ''[[EP109|The Wacky Watcher!]]''.

[[Trinity]] used a Gyarados in her battle against Misty in the Whirl Cup in ''[[EP217|The Perfect Match!]]''.

A Gyarados appeared in ''[[DP047|Sandshrew's Locker!]]''.

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

A Gyarados {{m|Hyper Beam|blasted Team Rocket}} away in ''[[DP138|Strategy Begins at Home!]]''.

{{Animedexfooter/Pokémon|original|Kanto}}

==In the manga==
===Pokémon Adventures===
Gyarados debuts in the {{chap|Red, Green & Blue}} in its own round, ''[[PS006|Gyarados Splashes In!]]''. Here, an enraged one attacks its own trainer, [[Misty]], but is recaught by {{adv|Red}}, who supposedly returns it to her. The drastic change in attitude of the Pokémon was the result of a [[Team Rocket]] experiment as is shown in ''[[PS007|Raging Rhydon]]''.

Later on, Misty traded this Gyarados to Red in exchange for Red's {{p|Krabby}}.

Gyarados is later seen with [[Lance]], using its {{m|BubbleBeam}} to shield him from the lava of [[Mt. Cerise]].

A [[Red Gyarados]] was seen in the [[Lake of Rage]] three years later, but it was caught by {{adv|Silver}}. It had the ability to control the other Gyarados in the lake.

When Red borrows {{adv|Blue}}'s {{p|Charizard}} to travel to [[Mt. Silver]], he temporarily trades his Gyarados to Blue. It later appears as one of Blue's Pokémon in {{PAV|13}}, used against {{p|Entei}}, and later part of his revealed team during the [[Gym Leader]] faceoff. Prior to the FireRed and LeafGreen saga, Blue returns Gyarados to Red.

Both Gyarados have remained on their {{pkmn|Trainer}}'s teams to this day.

====Pokédex entries====
{{Mangadexheader}}
{{Mangadexbody|Pokémon Adventures|[[PS006]]|The evolved form of Magikarp. Rarely seen in the wild. Huge and vicious, it is capable of destroying entire cities in a rage. Can fire a Hyper Beam from its mouth.}}
{{Mangadexfooter}}

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

[[Shiny Pokémon|Red]] Gyarados have appeared three times in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game|TCG]], once in {{TCG|Neo Revelation}} as {{TCG ID|Neo Revelation|Shining Gyarados|65}}, once in {{TCG|EX Holon Phantoms}} as [[Gyarados ☆ δ (EX Holon Phantoms 102)|Gyarados]] {{Star}} δ, and in {{TCG|HeartGold & SoulSilver}} as {{TCG ID|HeartGold & SoulSilver|Gyarados|123}}. The most recent appearance in HeartGold & SoulSilver most likely commemorates Red Gyarados's initial appearance as a significant part of the storyline in {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}.

==Game data==
In {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}, a [[Shiny Pokémon|red]] Gyarados is featured on the TV on a program called "Search for the Red Gyarados." It is this that inspires {{ga|Lucas}} or {{ga|Dawn}} and {{ga|Barry|their rival}} to go to [[Lake Verity]], to see if there is a rare Pokémon dwelling in it.
===NPC appearances===
* {{g|Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness}}: A Gyarados appears in the [[Miracle Sea]]. He attempts to take control of the {{p|Phione}}, but is stopped by the player's team.
* {{g|Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky}}: The same Gyarados takes on the same role as it did in Time and Darkness.

==Trivia==
* According to some Nintendo of America artwork, Gyarados was originally slated to have the English name Skullkraken, a combination of the words "skull" and "{{wp|kraken}}" (a mythological sea monster). This name would be impossible due to a 10-character limit on English Pokémon names.
* Despite being part {{type2|Flying}}, it does not have wings and the only Flying-type move it can learn is {{m|Bounce}}, which is only possible via [[move tutor]] in {{game|Platinum}}. However, it has been seen flying in the {{pkmn|anime}}.
* In Generation II and Generation IV, Gyarados is the only 100%-certain {{shiny2}} encounter and the first of only two shiny Pokémon to be integrated into a game's plot (the second was {{mdc|Celebi|2}} in [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness]]).
* In the Pokémon anime, Gyarados's eyes are violet instead of the red that appears in its sprites and official artwork.
* Gyarados is one of ten non-{{t|Bug}}, {{type2|Flying}} Pokémon that cannot learn {{m|Fly}}.
* In [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness]], Gyarados is the only non-legendary boss Pokémon to speak entirely in capital letters.
* In the anime episode ''[[DP047|Sandshrew's Locker!]]'', Gyarados has the same cry as {{p|Dialga}}.
* In many ways, Gyarados is the [[Kanto]] counterpart of [[Hoenn]]'s {{p|Milotic}}. Both are the evolved forms of incredibly weak fish Pokémon, and both appear in times of conflict, Gyarados to destroy, Milotic to becalm. Both have base stat totals of 540 with numbers matching down to the digits, but a different distribution in their stats: Gyarados is more Physical-Attack/Special Defense based while Milotic is more of an Special-Defense/Special Attack based. They both have the same HP, Defense, and Speed.
** Gyarados has the greatest increase of its base stat total of any Pokémon compared to its prevolution, an increase of 340 points. It shares this distinction with Milotic.

===Origin===
It appears to be based on a sea dragon or {{wp|sea serpent}}. Gyarados is partially based on a legend about how carp that leapt over the Dragon Gate would become dragons. Several waterfalls and cataracts in China are believed to be the location of the Dragon Gate. This legend is an allegory of the drive and efforts needed to overcome obstacles (which can be tied to the fact that Gyarados' pre-evolution, Magikarp, could possibly take a lot of drive and effort to legitimately evolve into Gyarados).
====Name origin====
Gyarados's name may be derived from a combination of 虐殺 ''gyakusatsu'' massacre/slaughter, and 逆境 ''gyakkyō'', hardship/adversity. Both words relate to the creature's violent nature and the hardship it experienced before evolving. The end of Gyarados' name, ドス ''dosu'', is a Japanese onomatopeic word representing the piercing of flesh, once again owing to Gyarados' violent nature. Alternatively, the ''dos'' may just indicate that it's the second in its evolutionary line.

'''Snorlax''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''カビゴン''' ''Kabigon'') is a {{type2|Normal}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Munchlax}} via {{DL|Happiness|Evolutions|Happiness}}.

In the [[Generation I]] and {{gen|II}} games and their remakes, wild Snorlax can be found sleeping in inconvenient locations throughout [[Kanto]]. In order to catch one, a Trainer must first awaken it with music from either a [[Poké Flute]] or [[Pokégear]] set to the Poké Flute channel.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Snorlax's body is composed of mostly its belly, where most of its fat reserves accumulate. It wakes up only to eat and seldom exercises. Its head is also large, and it has two pointed teeth sticking out. Its feet, with three claws and a circular brown paw pad, are extremely large compared to most Pokémon, assisting its balance when it chooses to stand. Its arms and foreclaws are short, but are long enough for Snorlax to grab its food and eat it, and strong enough to deliver powerful blows. It is usually dark blue or green in color.
====Gender differences====
None.

===Special abilities===
When trained and exercised properly, Snorlax can gain supreme strength and ability. They can throw incredibly powerful punches and cause immense {{m|earthquake}}s.

===Behavior===
Snorlax spend the majority of their time sleeping, surviving on their stored fat. Many Snorlax only awaken once a month, spending their waking time finding more food. A hungry Snorlax isn't satisfied until it consumes 900 pounds of food, and then it goes back to sleep. If one ever sees a sleeping Snorlax, he or she should not wake it up, because these Pokémon become very grumpy if their peaceful dreams become interrupted. Several {{type2|Psychic}} Pokémon using {{m|Dream Eater}} find this out the hard way.

===Habitat===
[[Image:Mountain.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Mountain Pokémon}}]]
Snorlax are often in mountains and forests. However, they sometimes wander into towns and streets and sleep there. They have been documented in [[Kanto]], and evidence suggests that they could be found in [[Sinnoh]].

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}
Snorlax is not very picky, and will eat anything and everything that is edible. They are fond of large, thorny vines or their diet may compose of bananas found in grasslands. Snorlax only wake up to eat. They need to eat about 900lbs (90% of their bodyweight) to be satisfied before falling back to sleep. Some Snorlax sleep for a month at a time, so 900lbs of food is enough to sustain them for one month whilst asleep.

==In the anime==
[[Image:AG149 107.jpeg|thumb|210px|[[Ash's Snorlax]] using {{m|Ice Punch}}]]
===Major appearances===
====[[Ash's Snorlax]]====
In ''[[EP094|Snack Attack!]]'', a Snorlax was eating the grapefuits of the [[Seven Grapefruit Islands|Grapefruit Islands]]. {{Ash}} managed to capture it near the end of the episode. After the adventures in the [[Orange Archipelago|Orange Islands]], [[Ash's Snorlax]] spent most of its time at [[Professor Oak]]'s lab.

====Other====
Snorlax first appeared in ''[[EP041|Wake Up Snorlax!]]''. This Snorlax was blocking the water flow to a small village.

In ''[[AG088|The Garden of Eatin']]'', another Snorlax was causing trouble for a man named [[Marcel]] by eating the bananas in his {{p|Slakoth}} Banana Garden. Marcel's newly evolved {{p|Vigoroth}} defeated the Snorlax, allowing him to capture it. Afterwards, Marcel made an attraction around his new Snorlax: a relaxation room.

A Snorlax belonging to {{an|Daniel}} takes part in the [[Pokéathlon]] in ''[[DP160|A Marathon Rivalry!]]''.

===Minor appearances===
''[[SS012|Training Daze]]'' featured a {{pkmn2|shiny|red}} Snorlax which [[Jessie]], [[James]], and {{MTR}}, while competing with [[Butch]], [[Cassidy]], and {{TR|Raticate}}, were sent to steal in order to become official Team Rocket field agents. The Snorlax turned out to be [[Viper]], the Team Rocket Academy Drill Sergeant in disguise.

In ''[[AG086|Lights, Camerupt, Action]]'', a Snorlax was a sheriff in a western-themed Pokémon movie.

A Snorlax also appeared near the end of ''[[M07|Destiny Deoxys]]'', evolving from {{p|Munchlax}} in order to stay afloat during a 'flood' of malfunctioning robots.

In ''[[AG158|Queen of the Serpentine]]'', a Snorlax made a cameo as one of {{FB|Pike Queen|Lucy}}'s pets.

[[Roman]], who appeared in ''[[DP076|A Full Course Tag Battle!]]'', owns a Snorlax.

A Snorlax also appeared in the Pikachu short ''[[PK07|Pikachu and Pichu]]''.

A Snorlax appeared in ''[[DP141|Challenging a Towering Figure!]]''.

==In the manga==
{{adv|Red}} caught a Snorlax on [[Route 17|Cycling Road]], awakening it by exploiting its gluttonous nature with the {{p|Beedrill}} honey left on [[Saur]]'s head. Afterwards, it became one of Red's favorite fighters, allowing him to stop {{adv|Green}} after she stole his money (only to discover later that she then seized his badges during the ensuing fight), and overcome dozens of challenges along his journey with few defeats, being able to force {{adv|Blue}} to recall his {{p|Machamp}}, and even stop a full-speed train in its tracks much later on in the {{chap|Gold, Silver, & Crystal}}. In addition, to date, it is his highest-level party Pokémon at level 89.

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

==Other appearances==
[[Image:Snorlax Brawl.jpg|right|thumb|Snorlax in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]]]

===[[Super Smash Bros.]]===
When released from a Poké Ball, Snorlax will ascend into the air before descending over a large area of the screen with a {{m|Body Slam}} that sends any opponent underneath flying.

===[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]===
Snorlax does the same maneuver as it did in the previous game, but covers a smaller area.

Snorlax is also a [[Poké Floats|Poké Float]]. It is lying down asleep and so fighting occurs on its head and belly.
====Trophy information====
Snorlax love to sleep and love to eat: these portly Pokémon get grumpy if they don't get 888 pounds of food per day. After snacking out, they always nap. They have cast-iron stomachs and can eat moldy and even rotten food with no digestion problems. They are the heaviest Pokémon on record, weighing in at over 1,000 pounds.

===[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]===
Snorlax once again performs the same maneuver as the previous games.

==Game data==
===NPC appearances===
* {{ga|Pokémon Ranger}}: Snorlax will be seen sleeping throughout the game, effectively cutting off certain areas until later on. It will eventually remain in a cave in the [[Sekra Mountain Range]]. Once the rest of the [[List of Pokémon by Fiore Browser number|Ranger Browser]] has been completed, it will wake up and can be captured.

==Trivia==
* Until [[Generation III]], Snorlax was the heaviest Pokémon. It was later out-massed by both {{p|Metagross}} and {{p|Groudon}}. In [[Generation IV]], {{p|Dialga}} and both forms of {{p|Giratina}} are heavier than it as well, setting it back to its present state of the sixth-heaviest Pokémon known.
* Snorlax has the fifth highest base HP of all Pokémon, after {{p|Blissey}}, {{p|Chansey}}, {{p|Wobbuffet}}, and {{p|Wailord}}, in that order.
* Snorlax could learn or know the move {{m|Headbutt}} from [[Generation I]] to [[Generation III]], but cannot naturally learn it as of [[Generation IV]]. However, it can learn it as a move tutor move in HeartGold and SoulSilver.
* Unusually, in [[Pokémon Stadium]] (and later 3D games), Snorlax open their eyes when they faint. Also, when they use Special attacks, they stand up.
* In [[Pokémon Snap]], when using the [[Poké Flute]], it stands up and dances to the music.
* At 110, Snorlax and {{p|Dodrio}} have the highest base {{stat|Attack}} stat of all [[Generation I]] Normal-types.
* Snorlax is the heaviest Pokémon that can legally hatch from an egg.
** Both {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Giratina}} can be obtained just after hatching in [[Generation IV]], by taking an {{p|Arceus}} to the [[Ruins of Alph]]. However the egg cannot be in the player's party.
* In [[Generation]]s {{gen|I}} to {{gen|III}}, Snorlax could learn {{m|Hyper Beam}} by [[Level|leveling up]]. However, in [[Generation IV]], possibly due to the Physical/Special split, Snorlax can no longer learn it by leveling up and instead can learn {{m|Giga Impact}}, Hyper Beam's physical variant, possibly referencing its large body mass.

===Origin===
It may be loosely based on {{wp|hibernation|hibernating}} {{wp|bear}}s or {{wp|teddy bear}}s.

====Name origin====
Snorlax's name is a combination of ''snore'' and ''lax''. The ''lax'' in its name might also come from relax. Its Japanese name may come from an alternate reading of sleep, 寐 ''bi'', and a corruption of 鼾酔 ''kansui'', snoring, or 憩う ''ikou'', rest. It may also incorporate mold, 黴 ''kabi'', noting the fact that Snorlax will eat anything, even moldy food. 잠만보 is derived from "Sleepy-head".

==In other languages==
* [[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Relaxo - From ''relax''.
* [[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Ronflex - From ''ronfler'' (snore).
* [[List of Korean Pokémon names|Korean]]: 잠만보 ''Jammanbo''
* [[List of Chinese Pokémon names|Chinese]]: 卡比兽
*[[List of Chinese Pokémon names|Chinese (Taiwan)]]: 卡比獸 ''Kǎ Bǐ Shòu'' - 卡比 ''Kǎ Bǐ'' is a transliteration of "Kabi" in its Japanese name. The last character 獸 means beast.

'''Route 12''' is a lengthy north-south route in east [[Kanto]]. This route is also known as the '''Silence Bridge''' (Japanese: '''サイレンズブリッジ''' ''Silence Bridge'') between its southern terminus at {{rt|13}} and the lookout station just south of [[Lavender Town]], its northern terminus. As a whole, the route is a large bridge built over water, making it a popular gathering spot for [[Fisherman|fishermen]]. The middle point of the Silence Bridge connects to a lookout station on {{rt|11}}.

==Route description==
===Lavender to the lookout station===
The bridge that holds the entire length of Route 12 begins just south of Lavender Town. Shortly after its starting point, the bridge comes to a three-way intersection, with the left fork leading to a dead end. The right fork turns south east of the intersection and comes to another intersection, leading to another dead end path holding a sign informing trainers of Lavender Town to the north.

South of this intersection is a [[lookout station]] separating the north portion of Route 12 from the Silence Bridge.

===Silence Bridge===
[[File:Snorlax2.png|thumb|right|200px|{{p|Snorlax}} blocking the road.]]
The Silence Bridge makes up most of Route 12. The first intersection on the Silence Bridge portion of Route 12 is yet another of the three-way variety. The left path leads to a dead end while the right path continues southward. After a brief southward stretch, the bridge turns southwest to avoid an island in the water, eventually intersecting a north-south bridge segment on the western edge of Route 12. The main path of the route uses a portion of this segment before turning east onto an east-west segment. Route 12 then makes a sharp south turn onto another continuous bridge piece. Route 12 gradually makes its way south, passing a fishing pier before arriving at an island, the first piece of solid land along the route's main path since Lavender.

On the west shore of the island, the Silence Bridge resumes, making an upside-down "U" as it proceeds south. After a short time, the bridge makes a turn to the east. This segment of the bridge comes to an end roughly 15 paces east of this point, but Route 12 has already turned off onto another bridge segment, a north-south stretch, by this point. About eight paces south of the intersection between the two segments is the designated "Sport Fishing Area" at the intersection of Routes 11 and 12.

Continuing south, the bridge turns to the southeast just ahead of another island. On this island in every [[generation]] is the home of the [[Fishing Brothers]]' younger brother, who will give a {{DL|Fishing|Super Rod}} to anyone who expresses a passion for fishing. In [[Generation III]], he rewards players with [[Poké Ball#Net Ball|Net Balls]] for showing him record-breaking [[Magikarp (Pokémon)|Magikarps]]. West of his house, the bridge resumes, traveling to the south and east before coming to an end just after an intersection with another segment. This segment carries the route south to a series of intersections. The two westward routes in this area lead to a peninsula containing a forested area accessible only by using {{m|Cut}}. The lone eastward path leads to another fishing pier. Just south of the southern peninsula path, the route briefly turns to the east before returning south.

At the next intersection, the main path of the route continues south while a westward path leads to the only grassy patch on Route 12. Cut is required for access, however.

The main path of Route 12 continues south along a tree-lined shoreline before becoming Route 13 two paces south of the grassy patch.

==Differences among generations==
===Generations I and III===
A sleeping {{p|Snorlax}} is often found blocking the intersection between Routes 11 and 12. To move it, a [[Poké Flute]] is required. Also, in [[Generation III]], [[TM16]] was replaced with [[TM48]], and after the Fishing Guru's younger brother gives the player a Super Rod, he will give away a [[Net Ball]] if he is shown a Magikarp of a certain size.

===Generations II and IV===
The route is very similar between the two generations. Route 12 was shortened considerably in Generations II and IV. Other notable changes included the removal of all grassy areas along the route, the removal of the lookout station between the Silence Bridge and Lavender Town, and the isolation of the former location of the grassy area, now accessible only by {{m|Surf}}ing. The number of trainers was also reduced to three in Generation II, down from eight in previous and future Generations. Also, it is important to note that in HeartGold and SoulSilver, if the player beat Snorlax, after a week, it will have moved to outside the Route lookout station, partially blocking the path. It will be identical to your first encounter on Route 11.

In Generation II, the signpost at the north end of Route 12 now reads "Fishing spot". To compensate, the Route 12 notice present on this sign before was moved to the former "Sport fishing area" sign at Route 11. The signpost on Route 13 just southwest of Route 12's end, however, still reads "Route 13: North to Silence Bridge".

==In the Pokémon Adventures manga==

Route 12 debuted in ''[[PS012|Wake Up-You're Snorlax!]]'' in the [[Red, Green & Blue chapter (Adventures)|Red, Green & Blue chapter]], where a bike race was taking place, but a {{p|Snorlax}} was blocking the road, a male [[Swimmer]] and a [[Bug Catcher]] wanted to get past. A Solution was later made by {{adv|Red}} by using the [[honey]] that had fallen from {{p|Beedrill}}'s hive onto [[Saur|Bulbasaur]]'s head as bait to get the Snorlax to budge which later worked and won Red the race.

'''Snorlax''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''カビゴン''' ''Kabigon'') is a {{type2|Normal}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Munchlax}} via {{DL|Happiness|Evolutions|Happiness}}.

In the [[Generation I]] and {{gen|II}} games and their remakes, wild Snorlax can be found sleeping in inconvenient locations throughout [[Kanto]]. In order to catch one, a Trainer must first awaken it with music from either a [[Poké Flute]] or [[Pokégear]].

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Snorlax's body is composed of mostly its belly, where most of its fat reserves accumulate. It wakes up only to eat and seldom exercises. Its head is also large, and it has two pointed teeth sticking out. Its feet, with three claws and a circular brown paw pad, are extremely large compared to most Pokémon, assisting its balance when it chooses to stand. Its arms and foreclaws are short, but are long enough for Snorlax to grab its food and eat it, and strong enough to deliver powerful blows. It is usually dark blue or green in color.
====Gender differences====
None.

===Special abilities===
When trained and exercised properly, Snorlax can gain supreme strength and ability. They can throw incredibly powerful punches and cause immense {{m|earthquake}}s.

===Behavior===
Snorlax spend the majority of their time sleeping, surviving on their stored fat. Many Snorlax only awaken once a month, spending their waking time finding more food. A hungry Snorlax isn't satisfied until it consumes 900 pounds of food, and then it goes back to sleep. If one ever sees a sleeping Snorlax, he or she should not wake it up, because these Pokémon become very grumpy if their peaceful dreams become interrupted. Several {{type2|Psychic}} Pokémon using {{m|Dream Eater}} find this out the hard way.

===Habitat===
[[Image:Mountain.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Mountain Pokémon}}]]
Snorlax are often in mountains and forests. However, they sometimes wander into towns and streets and sleep there. They have been documented in [[Kanto]], and evidence suggests that they could be found in [[Sinnoh]].

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}
Snorlax is not very picky, and will eat anything and everything that is edible. They are fond of large, thorny vines or their diet may compose of bananas found in grasslands. Snorlax only wake up to eat. They need to eat about 900lbs (90% of their bodyweight) to be satisfied before falling back to sleep. Some Snorlax sleep for a month at a time, so 900lbs of food is enough to sustain them for one month whilst asleep.

==In the anime==
[[Image:AG149 107.jpeg|thumb|210px|[[Ash's Snorlax]] using {{m|Ice Punch}}]]
===Major appearances===
====[[Ash's Snorlax]]====
In ''[[EP094|Snack Attack!]]'', a Snorlax was eating the grapefuits of the [[Seven Grapefruit Islands|Grapefruit Islands]]. {{Ash}} managed to capture it near the end of the episode. After the adventures in the [[Orange Archipelago|Orange Islands]], [[Ash's Snorlax]] spent most of its time at [[Professor Oak]]'s lab.

====Other====
Snorlax first appeared in ''[[EP041|Wake Up Snorlax!]]''. This Snorlax was blocking the water flow to a small village.

In ''[[AG088|The Garden of Eatin']]'', another Snorlax was causing trouble for a man named [[Marcel]] by eating the bananas in his {{p|Slakoth}} Banana Garden. Marcel's newly evolved {{p|Vigoroth}} defeated the Snorlax, allowing him to capture it. Afterwards, Marcel made an attraction around his new Snorlax: a relaxation room.

A Snorlax belonging to {{an|Daniel}} takes part in the [[Pokéathlon]] in ''[[DP160|A Marathon Rivalry!]]''.

===Minor appearances===
''[[SS012|Training Daze]]'' featured a {{pkmn2|shiny|red}} Snorlax which [[Jessie]], [[James]], and {{MTR}}, while competing with [[Butch]], [[Cassidy]], and {{TR|Raticate}}, were sent to steal in order to become official Team Rocket field agents. The Snorlax turned out to be [[Viper]], the Team Rocket Academy Drill Sergeant in disguise.

In ''[[AG086|Lights, Camerupt, Action]]'', a Snorlax was a sheriff in a western-themed Pokémon movie.

A Snorlax also appeared near the end of ''[[M07|Destiny Deoxys]]'', evolving from {{p|Munchlax}} in order to stay afloat during a 'flood' of malfunctioning robots.

In ''[[AG158|Queen of the Serpentine]]'', a Snorlax made a cameo as one of {{FB|Pike Queen|Lucy}}'s pets.

[[Roman]], who appeared in ''[[DP076|A Full Course Tag Battle!]]'', owns a Snorlax.

A Snorlax also appeared in the Pikachu short ''[[PK07|Pikachu and Pichu]]''.

A Snorlax appeared in ''[[DP141|Challenging a Towering Figure!]]''.

==In the manga==
{{adv|Red}} caught a Snorlax on [[Route 17|Cycling Road]], awakening it by exploiting its gluttonous nature with the {{p|Beedrill}} honey left on [[Saur]]'s head. Afterwards, it became one of Red's favorite fighters, allowing him to stop {{adv|Green}} after she stole his money (only to discover later that she then seized his badges during the ensuing fight), and overcome dozens of challenges along his journey with few defeats, being able to force {{adv|Blue}} to recall his {{p|Machamp}}, and even stop a full-speed train in its tracks much later on in the {{chap|Gold, Silver, & Crystal}}. In addition, to date, it is his highest-level party Pokémon at level 89.

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

==Other appearances==
[[Image:Snorlax Brawl.jpg|right|thumb|Snorlax in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]]]

===[[Super Smash Bros.]]===
When released from a Poké Ball, Snorlax will ascend into the air before descending over a large area of the screen with a {{m|Body Slam}} that sends any opponent underneath flying.

===[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]===
Snorlax does the same maneuver as it did in the previous game, but covers a smaller area.

Snorlax is also a [[Poké Floats|Poké Float]]. It is lying down asleep and so fighting occurs on its head and belly.
====Trophy information====
Snorlax love to sleep and love to eat: these portly Pokémon get grumpy if they don't get 888 pounds of food per day. After snacking out, they always nap. They have cast-iron stomachs and can eat moldy and even rotten food with no digestion problems. They are the heaviest Pokémon on record, weighing in at over 1,000 pounds.

===[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]===
Snorlax once again performs the same maneuver as the previous games.

==Game data==
===NPC appearances===
* {{ga|Pokémon Ranger}}: Snorlax will be seen sleeping throughout the game, effectively cutting off certain areas until later on. It will eventually remain in a cave in the [[Sekra Mountain Range]]. Once the rest of the [[List of Pokémon by Fiore Browser number|Ranger Browser]] has been completed, it will wake up and can be captured.

==Trivia==
* Until [[Generation III]], Snorlax was the heaviest Pokémon. It was later out-massed by both {{p|Metagross}} and {{p|Groudon}}. In [[Generation IV]], {{p|Dialga}} and both forms of {{p|Giratina}} are heavier than it as well, setting it back to its present state of the sixth-heaviest Pokémon known.
* Snorlax has the fifth highest base HP of all Pokémon, after {{p|Blissey}}, {{p|Chansey}}, {{p|Wobbuffet}}, and {{p|Wailord}}, in that order.
* Snorlax could learn or know the move {{m|Headbutt}} from [[Generation I]] to [[Generation III]], but cannot naturally learn it as of [[Generation IV]]. However, it can learn it as a move tutor move in HeartGold and SoulSilver.
* Unusually, in [[Pokémon Stadium]] (and later 3D games), Snorlax open their eyes when they faint. Also, when they use Special attacks, they stand up.
* In [[Pokémon Snap]], when using the [[Poké Flute]], it stands up and dances to the music.
* At 110, Snorlax and {{p|Dodrio}} have the highest base {{stat|Attack}} stat of all [[Generation I]] Normal-types.
* Snorlax is the heaviest Pokémon that can legally hatch from an egg.
** Both {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Giratina}} can be obtained just after hatching in [[Generation IV]], by taking an {{p|Arceus}} to the [[Ruins of Alph]]. However the egg cannot be in the player's party.
* In [[Generation]]s {{gen|I}} to {{gen|III}}, Snorlax could learn {{m|Hyper Beam}} by [[Level|leveling up]]. However, in [[Generation IV]], possibly due to the Physical/Special split, Snorlax can no longer learn it by leveling up and instead can learn {{m|Giga Impact}}, Hyper Beam's physical variant, possibly referencing its large body mass.

===Origin===
It may be loosely based on {{wp|hibernation|hibernating}} {{wp|bear}}s or {{wp|teddy bear}}s.

====Name origin====
Snorlax's name is a combination of ''snore'' and ''lax''. The ''lax'' in its name might also come from relax. Its Japanese name may come from an alternate reading of sleep, 寐 ''bi'', and a corruption of 鼾酔 ''kansui'', snoring, or 憩う ''ikou'', rest. It may also incorporate mold, 黴 ''kabi'', noting the fact that Snorlax will eat anything, even moldy food. 잠만보 is derived from "Sleepy-head".

==In other languages==
* [[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Relaxo - From ''relax''.
* [[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Ronflex - From ''ronfler'' (snore).
* [[List of Korean Pokémon names|Korean]]: 잠만보 ''Jammanbo''
* [[List of Chinese Pokémon names|Chinese]]: 卡比兽
*[[List of Chinese Pokémon names|Chinese (Taiwan)]]: 卡比獸 ''Kǎ Bǐ Shòu'' - 卡比 ''Kǎ Bǐ'' is a transliteration of "Kabi" in its Japanese name. The last character 獸 means beast.

Johto Route 36

CubeShapedWatermelon: /* Items */ It's a woman, and defeating schoolboy alan in a rematch isn't necessary to get the Fire Stone.

'''Route 36''' is a north-south, as well as an east-west route located in central [[Johto]]. Its northern terminus is at {{rt|37}} south of [[Ecruteak City]], its southern and western termini are at {{rt|35}} and the [[National Park]], respectively, and its eastern terminus is at [[Violet City]].

It is the only route in the Pokémon world to have five different junctions (the fifth being the [[Ruins of Alph]]'s north entrance).

==Route description==
===Ecruteak-Violet===
Heading south from Ecruteak, Route 36 is split in half by a series of trees. The western half proceeds south, passing a Trainer duo before merging with the eastern half southwest of a grass patch that blankets the southern portion of the eastern half. Now one route, Route 36 continues south, turning to the east and becoming extremely narrow as it meets the Route 35 connector path. At this junction, trainers have encountered {{p|Sudowoodo}} several times, using a {{DL|List of key items in Generation IV|Squirtbottle}} to move the Pokémon.

East of the junction, a man will give {{HM|06|Rock Smash}}, obtainable early if they approach from the Violet City side. To his northeast on Thursdays, [[Week Siblings|Arthur of the Week Siblings]] will give Trainers a {{DL|Type-enhancing item|Hard Stone}} the first time they meet him, and a {{DL|Ribbon|Other Ribbons|Careless Ribbon}} the second time and all others ([[Generation IV]] only). South of this point is the north entrance to the Ruins of Alph, which also has an entrance on [[Route 32]].

The route continues due east before turning south as it arrives in the west side of Violet.

===Route 35 Connector===
This path is an extension of Route 36 that links Route 36 to Route 35 and the National Park. Heading south from its northern terminus at the "Sudowoodo Junction," the route curves west, passing [[Schoolboy]] Alan and a grass patch before arriving at a T-intersection. To the north is another trainer, an {{DL|Berries (Generation II)|Ice Berry}} tree, and the east entrance to the National Park. To the south is Route 35 (however, without {{m|Cut}}, this path is a dead end).

* In [[Pokémon Stadium 2]], [[Bugsy]] erroneously refers to this move as "Megaphone" when his Heracross (present only in Round 2) uses it.

Held item

2010-04-09T17:51:07Z

| __TOC__
|}
A '''held item''' is an [[item]] held by [[Pokémon]] on direction from their {{pkmn|Trainer}}. Wild Pokémon may hold items as well. This capability was first introduced in [[Generation II]], though the thought of held items may extend as far back as {{game|Yellow}}, where many {{p|Farfetch'd}} and {{p|Kadabra}}, upon trading to a [[Generation II]] game, are revealed to have held items, a {{DL|Stat-enhancing item|Stick}} and a {{DL|Type-enhancing item|TwistedSpoon}}, respectively. Held items range from [[Berry|Berries]] that can be used in battle to recover to items that can be used to enhance the power of certain moves. Most other items may be held as well, such as [[Poké Ball]]s and [[Revive]]s, though the Pokémon will not use them.

Beginning with its release in Generation II, alongside held items, {{m|Thief}} enabled players to steal held items from wild Pokémon, if the wild Pokémon was holding one and the Pokémon using the move was not.

Held items were eventually introduced in the [[TCG]] as well, first as {{TCG|Pokémon Tool}}s, then later on the cards themselves, to mimic [[wild Pokémon]] that hold an item when found.

The following is a list of items made solely to be held items, grouped by purpose and listed in alphabetical order.

==Type-enhancing items==
{{main|Type-enhancing item}}
Type-enhancing items increase the power of a used move of the enhanced type by 10% (20% in [[Generation IV]]). In [[Generation II]], some were given out by the [[Week Siblings]].

===‎Plates===
{{main|Plate}}
Plates are ancient stone tablets engraved with text that increase the power of moves of a specific type. There is one for each type except {{t|Normal}}. Equipping a plate to a {{p|Arceus|Pokémon with}} {{a|Multitype}} will cause it to change type to that of the plate held.

==Stat enhancing items==
{{main|Stat-enhancing item}}
These items, when held, will increase certain [[stats]] of Pokémon. Some can only be used by specific Pokémon.

==In-battle effect items==
{{main|In-battle effect item}}
These items will take effect during battle to either aid or hinder the Pokémon holding them or an opponent.

==Evolution items==
{{main|Evolution-inducing held item}}
These items, when held by a Pokémon, will cause it to undergo [[evolution]] when activated by another event, such as gaining a [[level]] or being [[trade]]d.

==Incense==
{{main|Incense}}
These items, when held by a Pokémon in the day-care, will cause it to produce an {{pkmn|egg}} that will hatch into a [[baby Pokémon]] introduced after [[Generation II]]. They will also affect the holder in various ways during battle.

==Experience-affecting items==
{{main|Experience-affecting item}}
These items, when held by a Pokémon, affect the amount of [[experience]] that a Pokémon gains in {{pkmn|battle}}.

==EV-enhancing items==
{{main|EV-enhancing item}}
These items, when held by a Pokémon, promote [[Effort values|EV]] gain in several different ways.

==Mail==
{{main|Mail}}
Mail allows players to send messages to each other by attaching it to a Pokémon that is to be traded.

==Berries==
{{main|Berry}}
Berries have varying effects. Some weaken [[super effective]] moves, and others cure [[Status ailment|status conditions]]. Berries also affect the power and strength of the move {{m|Natural Gift}}. All can be used to make [[Pokéblock]]s or [[Poffin]].

==Scarves==
{{main|Scarf}}
Scarves up the Contest Condition of the Pokémon that is holding it without the Pokémon being fed [[Pokéblock]]s or [[Poffin]].

==Out-of-battle effect items==
{{Item
|name=Soothe Bell
|jp=やすらぎのすず
|jpt=Peace Bell
|gen=III
|bag=Items
|sell=50
|effect=Boosts [[happiness]] gained by a Pokémon.

'''Rayquaza''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''レックウザ''' ''Rayquaza'') is a dual-type {{2t|Dragon|Flying}} [[legendary Pokémon]].

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

In {{game|Emerald}}, it served to end the conflict between {{p|Kyogre}} and {{p|Groudon}} when [[Team Magma]]'s leader [[Maxie]] and [[Team Aqua]]'s leader [[Archie]] awakened them.

Rayquaza is the version mascot of {{game|Emerald}}, appearing on the boxart.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Rayquaza is a large, green, flying serpentine-like creature with red-tipped, rudder-like wings on its shoulders and down its body, and similarly-patterned fins on the tip of its tail. Yellow rings run across the length of Rayquaza's body and it has an additional yellow ring on top of its head. Rayquaza has two limbs with three-clawed carpals, and two long, flat, horn-like structures on its head, with two smaller horns below them. Rayquaza appears to have a prominent gumline, with only two discernible fangs on the tip of its upper snout, the other protrusions in its mouth apparently from pointed gums. It has small, yellow eyes with black pupils. Its eyes and markings resemble those of both {{p|Kyogre}} and {{p|Groudon}}.

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

====Special abilities====
It is notable for its ability to [[trio master|soothe]] the other members of the [[Weather trio]], when angered. Rayquaza is capable of using various powerful elemental attacks that it shoots from its mouth. Rayquaza can negate the effects of the weather. Since Rayquaza is a {{type2|Dragon}} Pokémon, it can learn {{m|Draco Meteor}}.

===Behavior===
Rayquaza constantly flies around the globe in the ozone layer, stopping and descending only to land on the peak of the Sky Pillar to rest. It is extremely territorial and will attack any intruders of its home. Due to the fact that can calm the other members of [[Weather trio|its trio]], it can be seen to be considered a leader and calm.

===Habitat===
[[File:Rare.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Rare Pokémon}}]]
Rayquaza lives high in the {{wp|ozone layer}}, but may rest on [[Sky Pillar]], [[Sky Tower Summit]], or in the [[Embedded Tower]]. It also, on occasion, flies the world's skies when disturbed.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}
Rayquaza consumes water particles in the atmosphere.

==In the anime==
[[File:Rayquaza_flying.png|thumb|275px|right|Rayquaza in the anime]]

{{mov|Rayquaza|Rayquaza|7}} appears in ''[[M07|Destiny Deoxys]]''. This Pokémon, like most other featured legendary Pokémon, proved to be extremely powerful. It fights against {{mov|Deoxys}} because it is seen as invading its territory. After a destructive battle over a glacier witnessed by [[Professor Lund]], [[Yuko]], and Lund's son [[Tory Lund|Tory]], and although it takes a few {{m|Psycho Boost}}s and is critically hit and falls into the freezing ocean, Rayquaza comes back and defeats Deoxys with a {{m|Hyper Beam}} attack. Four years later, Deoxys manages to regenerate, and it goes to find its friend, another Deoxys. Rayquaza senses its presence and goes to LaRousse City to battle Deoxys again. After [[LaRousse City]] has been evacuated, Rayquaza manages to break through Deoxys's city-wide barrier after many failed attempts. Then, Rayquaza and Deoxys have a second spectacular battle that destroys some of the city. After {{p|Deoxys}} finds its friend and helps fight off the malfunctioning security bots, Rayquaza realizes that Deoxys is good and stops attacking. It (or possibly another of its species) also has a cameo in the opening to the [[M09|ninth Pokémon movie]] and is captured by Team Rocket. Its current status is unknown, possibly flying around in the atmosphere (assuming it managed to escape from Team Rocket).

In ''[[DP043|Malice in Wonderland]]'', a Rayquaza appeared in ownership of [[Cynthia]], but as an illusion created by {{p|Mismagius}}. When Mismagius fuses with Rayquaza, it becomes the same color as the Mismagius.

A real Rayquaza appeared in its anime episode debut in outer space in ''[[DP142|Where No Togepi Has Gone Before!]]''.

==In the manga==
===In [[Pokémon Adventures]]===
To stop the battle between Kyogre and Groudon, [[Wally]] and [[Norman]] trained at the [[Sky Tower]] and woke up Rayquaza. Five years earlier, {{adv|Ruby}}'s victory over a {{p|Salamence}} was the reason Norman was banned from the Gym Leader test as the wounded Salamence accidentally let Rayquaza, who was in captivity at that time, free.

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

==Other appearances==
===[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]===
Rayquaza appears in [[the Subspace Emissary]] mode of Super Smash Bros. Brawl as a boss. After {{smw|Diddy Kong}} lands into a mysterious island, Rayquaza lunges out of the water and snatches him, furious from being distrupted. A ship suddenly crash-lands and smashes onto the beach, and out jumps {{smw|Fox McCloud|Fox}}, who deflects Rayquaza's {{m|Dragon Pulse}} back at it. Rayquaza collapses into the water, but not for long until it launches back out, engaging in battle between Fox and Diddy. Later, it is fought in the Great Maze level again and can be fought in the Boss Battles after the storyline is beaten.

====Trophy Information====
''A Sky High Pokémon. It normally resides high up in the ozone layer where it flies endlessly, so it is rarely seen. However, when {{p|Groudon}} and {{p|Kyogre}} began to fight, it appeared to calm them down. It has the ability {{a|Air Lock}}, which blocks all weather-condition effects. It has exceedingly strong abilities, and its attack power is especially remarkable.''

==Game data==
===NPC appearances===
[[File:RayquazaSSBB.jpg|right|thumb|Rayquaza, as it appears in Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]
* [[Pokémon Pinball: Ruby & Sapphire]]: Rayquaza is the focus of the third and final Bonus Field. It can only be challenged after capturing {{p|Groudon}} or {{p|Kyogre}} and will then join the circuit of bonus fields. Rayquaza will bounce along from left to right, allowing the ball to roll under it if it is up. It will sometimes use {{m|Thunder}} to paralyze the ball if it is not moving fast enough, though it does stay still while it is unleashing the attack. Rayquaza will also sometimes use {{m|ExtremeSpeed}} to create two tornadoes that cause the ball to fly up into the air for several seconds if contact is made. Rayquaza must be hit 15 times in three minutes to win. After beating the round twice, Rayquaza will be captured.
* [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon]]: Rayquaza acts as the final boss, living on the [[Sky Tower]]. Rayquaza helps save the {{pkmn|world}} from a meteor. After the credits roll, the player can re-battle Rayquaza to recruit it.
* {{ga|Pokémon Ranger}}: Rayquaza can be captured in a bonus mission after the credits.
* [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness]]: Rayquaza is the guardian of the [[Seven Treasures|Sky Melodica]].

==Trivia==
*Rayquaza has the highest {{Stat|Attack}} stat of all {{type2|Dragon}} Pokémon.
** Rayquaza is tied with {{p|Palkia}} and {{p|Dialga}} for highest {{stat|Special Attack}} of all {{type2|Dragon}} Pokémon.
*Rayquaza is the tallest legendary Pokémon.
*Rayquaza is the only legendary Pokémon to learn an [[HM]] move by level-up in the same generation that it's an HM.
*Rayquaza is the only legendary Pokémon that can be captured at a higher level than the Elite Four's Pokémon before becoming the champion. This only happens in {{game|Emerald}}.
*Not counting {{m|Hidden Power}} and {{m|Natural Gift}}, Rayquaza can learn damaging attacks of fifteen of the seventeen types, tying with {{p|Togekiss}} and {{p|Lucario}} for the most, not counting {{p|Mew}}, {{p|Smeargle}} or {{p|Arceus}}.
**It cannot learn any damaging {{t|Psychic}}- or {{type2|Poison}} moves, but ''can'' learn {{m|Rest}} and {{m|Toxic}}, while Togekiss cannot learn any damaging {{t|Ice}}- or {{type2|Poison}} moves, but can learn {{m|Toxic}} as well.
*It is said that Rayquaza will come if {{p|Groudon}} and {{p|Kyogre}} are battling, but it didn't appear in the episodes ''[[AG097|Gaining Groudon]]'' and ''[[AG098|The Scuffle of Legends]]''.
*Rayquaza is the only [[trio master]] that is actually a member of its own trio.
*Out of the [[weather trio]], it is the only one with a secondary [[Elemental type|type]].
*Though Rayquaza can be fought by a Pokémon character in Super Smash Bros. Brawl's Subspace Emissary, it is not fought by any Pokémon characters when it first appears.
*Rayquaza is currently the only Pokémon with its [[base stats|base stat total]] that does not share the specific stat numbers with another Pokémon: {{p|Mewtwo}}, {{p|Lugia}}, and {{p|Ho-Oh}} all have a 90-90-106-110-130-154 distribution in different orders, while the [[dragon trio]] all have 90-100-100-120-120-150.
===Origin===
Rayquaza is most likely based on the Hebrew legends of {{wp|Ziz}}, the unconquerable primal master of the sky. Its counterparts were {{wp|Behemoth}} and {{wp|Leviathan}}. Rayquaza's appearance also draws inspiration from a ''{{wp|Chinese dragon}}''.
====Name origin====
Rayquaza's name is likely a combination of ''{{wp|ray (geometry)|ray}}'' and ''{{wp|quasar}}''. Although Rayquaza's Romanized name suggests its Japanese name is meant to be the same as its English name, it could be a combination of 烈 ''retsu'', violent or furious, 空 ''kū'', sky, and 座 ''za'', from universe.

'''Red''' (Japanese: '''レッド''' ''Red'') is the main {{player|playable character}} in the [[Generation I]] games and is the male choice in their [[Generation III]] remakes. In Generation III, his female counterpart is {{ga|Leaf}}.

==Story==
[[Image:Game character red.png|thumb|left|Red from Generation I]]
Red is a curious 11-year-old boy from [[Pallet Town]]. The [[Generation I]] instruction booklets explain that Red became interested in Pokémon after his best friend, {{ga|Blue}}, stopped playing with him and became a bully. His adventure begins one day when {{prof|Oak}} calls the two of them to his lab and gives them each a [[Starter Pokémon|choice of Pokémon]]. Blue challenges Red to a [[Pokémon battle]] as soon as they get their Pokémon. A bit later, Professor Oak calls the two back, gives them each a [[Pokédex]], and sends them on a journey to fulfill his dream of capturing every type of Pokémon.

Red travels all over Kanto, filling in the [[Pokédex]] and defeating [[Gym Leader]]s. His [[rival]] Blue constantly stays one step ahead, and shows up quite a few times to impede his progress. When Red eventually reaches the [[Elite Four]], he finds that Blue has beaten him to a milestone yet again and has become the [[Indigo League|league]] {{pkmn|champion}}. Red defeats Blue in the final battle, and becomes the champion himself.

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

By the [[Generation II]] games, Red is no longer the Champion and [[Lance]] has taken his place. Red's title is simply "[[Pokémon Trainer]]" in this generation. He trains constantly on [[Mt. Silver]] and doesn't say anything to any {{pkmn|Trainer}}s he may come across (which could be a nod to the fact that Red never really spoke in previous games). When {{ga|Ethan}} or {{ga|Kris}} meets Red in Mt. Silver, Red has the strongest [[party]] of Pokémon (with static levels) an NPC opponent had ever had in the series, including a Level 81 {{p|Pikachu}}, until {{ga|Barry}}'s team in {{game|Platinum}}. However, Red regains the honor in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, with his Pikachu being a whopping Level 88. Upon defeat, he vanishes wordlessly (possibly a reference to [[black out|blacking out]]). In [[Generation IV]], the player's Pokémon are rewarded with the [[Ribbon#Legend_Ribbon|Legend Ribbon]] after Red's defeat. He will reappear at Mt. Silver again if the player defeats the Elite Four again, and his party will remain unchanged in all subsequent battles.

Red also appears in [[Pokémon Stadium 2]] as the last trainer players face in the combined [[Gym Leader Castle]], after the defeat of all of the others.

==Pokémon==
Red is the most highly skilled Trainer in the [[Generation II]] and [[Generation IV]] games he appears in. His team references {{game|Yellow}}, which is based on the {{pkmn|anime}}.

==In the [[Super Smash Bros.]] series==
[[Image:Pokemon Trainer in Super Smash Bros. Brawl.jpg|left|thumb|Red about to switch Pokémon]]
[[Image:Red Brawl.jpg|thumb|right|Red in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]] with his [[Pokémon]]]]
Red's hat actually was the first object that made an appearance in the Smash Bros. series, worn as one of the alternate outfits of {{p|Pikachu}}.

===Super Smash Bros. Brawl===
Red himself appears in Brawl, in his [[Generation III]] design, here named [[Pokémon Trainer]] (his actual name is not given in the game). He stands in the background and sends his Pokémon into the fight, which are alternated between {{p|Squirtle}}, {{p|Ivysaur}}, and {{p|Charizard}} in that order; each is a member of one of the [[Kanto]] {{Pkmn2|starter}} [[evolution]] families. His main stage, as well as {{p|Pikachu}}'s, is {{OBP|Pokémon Stadium 2|stage}}, {{DL|Spear Pillar|In Super Smash Bros. Brawl|Spear Pillar}} and [[Pokémon Stadium (stage)|Pokémon Stadium]]. He is voiced by [[Michele Knotz]] in the English version and 半場友恵 ''[[Tomoe Hanba]]'' in the Japanese version.

Instead of fighting like other characters in the game, Red battles using his [[Party|team]]. Their moves are as follows. Note that all three Pokémon's Final Smashes combine to form {{DL|Final Smash|Triple Finish}}.

In terms of gameplay, Squirtle is very quick and good at rapid-fire close range attacks, but light and easily KO'ed. Ivysaur is a good all-around fighter with balanced range and abilities but is poor in mid-air maneuvers. Charizard is very powerful and its attacks have lots of knockback, but it is very slow - its flying and gliding abilities make it excellent at returning to the stage, however.

His Final Smash is {{DL|Final Smash|Triple Finish}}. It is a combination of Squirtle's Hydro Pump, Ivysaur's SolarBeam, and Charizard's Fire Blast.

====Subspace Emissary====
The Pokémon Trainer is first encountered by [[wp:Lucas (Mother 3)|Lucas]] in The Ruined Zoo. For most of the game, the two are paired together. Pokémon Trainer's mission is to capture Charizard and Ivysaur while Lucas's is to save [[wp:List of EarthBound characters|Ness]]. On their way to the Ruins, the two are ambushed by {{wp|Wario}}, who is eventually defeated by the two. Later in The Ruined Hall, they are attacked by Galleom. Once defeated, it sets off a timer bomb. Lucas saves Pokémon Trainer and they are then both saved by {{wp|Meta Knight}} who carries them away from the explosion, which sucks up Wario's trophy into Subspace. From then on the two join Meta Knight, [[wp:Fire Emblem|Marth, and Ike]] on their quest to take down the Subspace Army.

====[[wp:Metal Gear|Codec]] information (on Shadow Moses Island)====
:'''{{wp|Solid Snake}}:''' ''"[[Pokémon Trainer]]... That's the guy giving [[Move|orders]] behind a Pokémon, right?"''
:'''[[wp:List of recurring Metal Gear characters#Roy Campbell|Roy Campbell]]:''' ''"Right, and this Pokémon Trainer is [[Caught Pokémon|controlling]] {{p|Squirtle}}, {{p|Ivysaur}}, and {{p|Charizard}}. They represent {{t|water}}, {{t|grass}}, and {{t|fire}}, and they're all [[Damage modification|powerful]]."''
:'''Solid Snake:''' ''"So he makes his Pokémon fight while he sits back and watches. Sounds like a good deal if you ask me."''
:'''Roy Campbell:''' ''"It's not like that, Snake. Those Pokémon wouldn't know what to do if the Pokémon Trainer [[Wild Pokémon|wasn't there giving orders]]. In every {{pkmn|battle}}, there's a soldier doing the fighting, and a commander telling him what to do. By working together as a [[Party|team]], they accomplish much more than either could on their own. So let's do this together, partner."''
:'''Solid Snake:''' ''"...Yeah... Whatever you say, Colonel."''

====Trophy information====
=====Pokémon Trainer=====
A person who [[Pokémon Breeder|raises Pokémon]] and [[Pokémon training|trains]] them as [[Party|partners]] in battle. In battle, a Trainer gives [[Move|orders]] to the Pokémon and uses [[item]]s. It's not an exaggeration to say {{pkmn|battle}}s can be won or lost on a Trainer's [[Damage modification#Critical hit|single strategic move]]. Trainers pour their [[Happiness|hearts]] into their Pokémon and share anger, sadness, and joy as they adventure in hopes of becoming [[Pokémon Master]]s.
=====Triple Finish=====
The Final Smash of the Pokémon Trainer. Squirtle, Ivysaur, and Charizard join forces to simultaneously use {{m|Hydro Pump}}, {{m|SolarBeam}}, and {{m|Fire Blast}}. This is the only time all three of them appear on the screen together, so this move boasts the strength of three in one. A window will appear on the screen saying "It's {{DL|Damage modification|super effective}}!" when the attack hits.

==In the TFG==
{{TFG ID|Next Quest|Red|42}} appears as a common trainer figure in the launch set, {{TFG|Next Quest}}, of the [[Pokémon Trading Figure Game]].

==Counterparts==
[[Ash Ketchum]] from the {{pkmn|anime}} and the ''[[Electric Tale of Pikachu]]'' manga was designed based on Red. Furthermore, Ash's name comes from one of the optional names for Red. This has caused many fans to mistake Red for his anime counterpart. However, they are analogous but not the same and using one's name for the other is always a mistake. There are also many fans that believe that the main hero from {{game|Yellow}} is Ash. This is also untrue. {{game|Yellow}}'s protagonist is still Red but slightly redesigned to look more similar to Ash, much like the storyline was designed to be closer to the anime. In other words, Ash in the anime is based on Red in the game series, but this cannot imply after all that they are the same. Although this idea is one of the most debatable topics in Pokémon, thinking about the analogy between the two characters is more convenient than considering them totally similar.

Other counterparts include {{adv|Red}} from the Pokémon Adventures manga, {{Zensho|Satoshi}} from [[Pokémon Zensho]] manga, [[Isamu Akai]] from [[Pokémon Pocket Monsters]] manga, who also made a cameo appearance in anime, and [[Shū]] from [[Pokémon Get da ze!]] manga.

==Trivia==
* When Red is encountered in [[Mt. Silver]] during [[Generation II]], he has no speech, merely repeating an ellipsis before beginning the battle. This is a reference to the fact that during [[Generation I]] he is a silent protagonist, answering only "yes" or "no" questions. He also remains silent when confronted in [[Generation IV]].
**Ironically, in {{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}}, {{ga|Blue}} calls him a ''chatty gossip''. However, this may have been sarcasm.
* Much like there is minimal information on his {{Ash|anime counterpart}}'s father, Red's father is mentioned only in passing when examining a {{wp|Super Nintendo Entertainment System|SNES}} in the [[Celadon Department Store]].
* Until the release of {{game|Platinum}}, Red's team featured the highest-leveled opponent Pokémon a player could face outside of battle arenas such as the [[Pokémon Stadium (English)|Stadium series]] and the [[Battle Frontier]], with his {{ga|Red's Pikachu|Pikachu}} at level 81, beating the wild {{p|Arceus}} found at the [[Hall of Origin]] by one level. In Platinum, however, the {{ga|Barry|rival}}'s team receives a boost in level, putting his [[starter Pokémon]] at level 85, while wild {{p|Magikarp}} can be found in the [[Resort Area]] at up to level 100. Due to {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} giving Red's team a level boost as well, with his Pikachu topping the list at level 88, Red is again the highest-leveled Trainer opponent (though wild Magikarp still are the highest level opponent Pokémon).
** Although the rival's Pokémon were at a higher level, however, several of Red's Pokémon had higher stats, due to their species' higher [[base stats]], with his Charizard being the strongest (the rival's Infernape comes closest, mere points behind).
* In the [[Super Smash Bros.]] series, Pokémon Trainer is the second Pokémon character, after {{p|Pikachu}}, that didn't need to be unlocked.
*In Super Smash Bros. Brawl, somewhat ironically, Charizard is the slowest character, even though the {{p|Charmander}} evolution family has an exceptionally high Speed stat compared to the other two Kanto starters.
* Red's team is based heavily on in-game events from [[Generation I]] and {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}: {{p|Charizard}}, {{p|Venusaur}}, {{p|Blastoise}}, and {{p|Pikachu}} are the version mascots of the four Generation I games, and are as well available in all iterations of the Kanto storyline (the three starters being obtainable in their first form, and Pikachu as the main starter, during different in-game [[Pokémon Yellow]] events); {{p|Espeon}} could have been obtained as an {{p|Eevee}} in [[Celadon City]] (and serves as Blue's starter Pokémon in Pokémon Yellow), {{p|Lapras}} is given away by a [[Silph Co.]] employee shortly before Team Rocket is vanquished there, and {{p|Snorlax}} is required to be caught or defeated to travel to [[Fuchsia City]] (in [[Generation II]] and {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, only one Snorlax is found blocking the way in Kanto, indicating a possible connection).
** Likewise, the four version mascots Red owns all know a special move that is somewhat exclusive to them in Generation IV: Charizard, Blastoise, and Venusaur know the elemental versions of {{m|Hyper Beam}}, only obtainable by talking to a woman on [[Boon Island]]'s [[Cape Brink]], while Pikachu knows Volt Tackle.
** Red's Pikachu's four moves are the same four moves that [[Ash's Pikachu]] knows presently in the anime: {{m|Volt Tackle}}, {{m|Quick Attack}}, {{m|Iron Tail}}, and {{m|Thunderbolt}}.
** Red's Generation II team was also the same as that of Red in the Pokémon Adventures manga during his venture to Mt. Silver - while he didn't own Charizard and Blastoise, he borrowed them for a time from Blue and Green respectively. However, Red did not own a Lapras.
* An unused default name for Red in the English [[Generation I]] games was "[[Nintendo|NINTEN]]". Conversely, {{ga|Blue}}'s unused default name is "{{wp|Sony|SONY}}". While normally unviewable, changing a few addresses within the game's code can allow for these names to appear as shown [http://acmlm.kafuka.org/board/thread.php?pid=18912#18912 here]. This references the fact that in the years surrounding the releases of the Generation I games, Sony was Nintendo's main competition, and may possibly reference the {{wp|Ninten|main character}} of another Nintendo RPG, {{wp|Mother (video game)|Mother}}.
* Hidden name data for Red in the Japanese [[Generation I]] games include: やまぐち ''Yamaguchi'' for the player and いしはら ''Ishihara'' for the rival in {{game|Red and Green|s}}. Yamaguchi refers to [[Wataru Yamaguchi]], an art director on the original games, while Ishihara refers to [[Tsunekaz Ishihara]], who is now the head of [[The Pokémon Company]]. In [[Pokémon Blue Version (Japanese)|Pokémon Blue]], the player's unused default name is ゲーフリ ''Gēfuri'', an abbreviation of [[Game Freak]]'s Japanese name ゲームフリーク ''Gēmu Furīku''. As for the rival, his name is クリチャ ''Kuricha'', in what it seems a reference to [[Creatures, Inc.]] As for {{game|Yellow}}, it preserved the rival's name from Pokémon Blue; however, for an unknown reason, the player's name was subtly altered by gaining an extra digit, becoming "ゲーフリ1". For more information, see [http://mltreq.alwaysdata.net/i/default-names this article].
* The majority of his Japanese default names from {{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}} are shared with {{ga|Gold}} and {{ga|Lucas}}. The same holds true for their {{ga|Leaf|respective}} {{ga|Lyra|female}} {{ga|Dawn|counterparts}}.
* All of the three Kanto starter Pokémon used in his [[Generation II]] battle have the moves that appeared on their {{TCG|Base Set}} cards.
* In HeartGold and SoulSilver, apart from his Venusaur and Blastoise being fully evolved, Red's team is identical to that of Ash Ketchum throughout most of the Orange Islands anime arc ([[Ash's Bulbasaur]] and {{AP|Squirtle}} were at the time, and still are presently, in their base forms).
* Meganium and Jolteon are the only two of Red's female Pokemon if he is an NPC.

'''Lance''' (Japanese: '''ワタル''' ''Wataru'') is a {{pkmn|master}} {{type2|Dragon}} {{pkmn|Trainer}}, a member of the [[Kanto]] [[Elite Four]] in [[Generation I]] and [[Generation III]] and the League [[Champion]] in [[Generation II]] and [[Generation IV]].

==In the games==
[[Image:FireRed LeafGreen Lance.png|right|thumb|150px|Art of Lance from ''Pokémon FireRed'' and ''LeafGreen'']]
In [[Generation I]] and the [[Generation III]] remakes, Lance is the fourth and final member of the [[Elite Four]]. He must be defeated before facing {{ga|Blue}}, the [[Pokémon champion|League Champion]]. By the [[Generation II]] games, he has proceeded to become League Champion.

He raises {{type2|Dragon}} Pokémon, which are both hard to catch and raise, but he prefers the superiority of Dragon-type Pokémon, believing them to be virtually indestructible.

Known as a cool and heroic Trainer, Lance has a large fan-following. Lance also seems to have a liking for capes, as he is often seen buying identical capes at the [[Celadon Department Store]].

Lance's grandfather is the elder of a famous clan of Dragon masters. [[Clair]] is his cousin, and his hometown is [[Blackthorn City]].

Lance appeared at [[Mahogany Town]] to help the player fight Team Rocket in [[Johto]]. Lance rewards the player with the {{m|Whirlpool}} HM for helping him put an end to Team Rocket's sinister plans.

===={{g|Stadium 2}}====
In Pokémon Stadium 2, Lance is the champion, who is fought at the end of the Elite Four. As the player must use the same Pokémon that it used against the Elite Four, Lance is extremely difficult to defeat with Rental Pokémon, but not impossible (due to the element of chance). Once Lance is defeated, the player can battle any gym leaders in the Kanto region at any time.

[[Image:Lance Disguised TR.jpg|left|180px|thumb|Lance disguised as a Team Rocket Grunt]]
Lance is a [[Pokémon Trainer]] famous in the [[Pokémon League]]. He is a member of an organization called the [[Pokémon G-Men]].

Lance's first appeared in ''[[EP235|Talkin' 'Bout an Evolution]]''. When [[Team Rocket]] started up an evil scheme at the [[Lake of Rage]], Lance showed up to investigate. He met {{Ash}}, [[Misty]] and [[Brock]] there, saving the children from some formidable [[Rocket Grunts]]. Ash wanted to help Lance in his mission, but Lance said it was too dangerous.

Team Rocket was trying to investigate the properties of a {{shiny2|Red}} {{p|Gyarados}} so that they could learn how to force Pokémon to [[Evolution|evolve]]. Lance was able to destroy Team Rocket's machine and blow up their laboratory. Ash was able to calm the [[Red Gyarados]] at first, but it continued to go berserk. Finally, Lance caught it to keep it from destroying [[Mahogany Town]].

Lance later appeared again in ''[[AG097|Gaining Groudon]]'' and ''[[AG098|The Scuffle of Legends]]'', where he helped stop the rampage of {{p|Kyogre}} and {{p|Groudon}}.

==In the Pokémon Adventures manga==
[[Image:Lance Special.png|300px|right|thumb|Lance on his {{p|Aerodactyl}}]]
Lance is primarily a villain in [[Pokémon Adventures]]. As the leader of the Elite Four, he wishes to exterminate the human race, save for a few people who he deems to be kind enough to Pokémon. Apparently also from [[Viridian City]], Lance was blessed with the powers of the [[Viridian Forest]] as {{adv|Yellow}} was. He has the power to telepathically communicate with Pokémon, as well as heal their wounds. Lance also has the ability to control or brainwash any Dragon-type Pokémon, as well as most Pokémon similar to Dragons (such as Aerodactyl or Tyranitar).

He first appears at he Vermillion before the start of the Vermillion City Surfing Competition. The {{p|Dragonair}} that was to be offered as a prize to the winner was actually his. He then attacked Vermilion City and destroyed it, saying he was looking for something. When Yellow came after him he tried to capture [[Pika]] to please Agatha and Lorelei but once Pikachu learned Surf he too failed. Before the battle could continue, he mysteriously disappeared.

He next appeared on [[Cerise Island]] battling Blaine and Yellow. When Blaine released Mewtwo Blaine and Yellow were able to gain the upper hand against Lance's Aerodactyl and his two Dragonair. However, due to Blaine's link with Mewto they could only battle together for about three minutes and with time running out Blaine decided to target Lance's Poké Balls so he couldn't call out any other Pokémon and would have to battle with his weakened Pokémon that were already out. He succeeded in destroying the balls only for Blaine to be knocked unconscious due to Mewtwo's time out being run too long. Lance then chuckled to himself, revealing that he had called his Pokémon out of their balls before the battle even began.

During Lance's battle with Yellow both of them were equally matched, Lance luring the battle out onto the top of Cerise Island, a volcano. Lance then once again gained the upper hand by having his Gyarados and Dragonair make green, red, and blue bubbles so they could not be detected in sunlight. Just when it seemed when Yellow was about to lose, Giovanni arrived and helped subdue Lance, using his {{p|Rhyhorn}} to create a sandstorm to make the bubbles visible. But this capturing only proved to be part of his plan, as he needed Giovanni's badge since it was the last badge he needed for the Badge Energy Amplifier to summon Lugia, so he lured Giovanni to the middle of the island so the Earth Badge would be automatically ripped from him and the Amplifier would automatically activate, summoning Lugia. Lance wanted Lugia to help accomplish his goals, but Yellow's Pokémon were able to drive Lugia away once they evolved and Yellow was able to channel their power into Pika's Megavolt.

This interested Lance, as he wanted to find out who Lugia's real owner was. It wasn't often that he lost control of dragon-like Pokémon.

Lance disappeared for a while, investigating Lugia and working behind the scenes. He gave {{adv|Silver}} advice on how to defeat Team Rocket in [[Johto]], as well as a Tyranitar. Working through Silver, Lance tried to help defeat the [[Masked Man]].

==Trivia==
* Lance has battles with two illegal Pokémon: the Aerodactyl that knows {{m|Rock Slide}} that he uses in Gold, Silver, and Crystal, and the Dragonite that knows {{m|Barrier}} that he uses in Red and Blue. Furthermore, all his Dragonite from [[Generation II]], as well as in the double battle against Team Rocket and the first battle against him in the Pokémon League in [[Generation IV]], are underleveled.
* It is interesting to note that as of {{game|Yellow}} Lance has red hair, while a card depicting him in {{OBP|Monopoly: Pokémon Edition|1999}} shows artwork of him with purple hair. This is probably due to the fact that the board game was made before Yellow was released and his sprite in Red and Blue is grayish-blue in color.
* Though his type theme is Dragon Pokémon, in Generation II, only three of his Pokémon are actually of the Dragon type; all of them Dragonite. Interestingly, all six of his Pokémon have {{t|Flying}} as their secondary type.
* Lance, [[Bruno]], and [[Koga]] are the only members of the Elite Four who have appeared in all four generations.
** Although, in Generations I and III, Koga was a Gym Leader.
* Lance is the only member of the Johto Elite Four that on the second time through, still does not have a team of only his type, with {{p|Charizard}} and {{p|Gyarados}} not being Dragon-types.
* In the rematch battles in HeartGold/SoulSilver, Lance uses every {{type2|Dragon}} [[pseudo-legendary]]. He also uses [[Tyranitar]], another pseudo-legendary, in [[Pokémon Stadium 2]] (both Round 1 and 2). This means that Lance has used every pseudo-legendary other than [[Metagross]], making him the Trainer who has used the most pseudo-legendaries in the series thus far.
* Lance is the only Trainer the {{player}} can battle with in a double battle ({{OBP|Rocket Hideout|Mahogany Town}}), against in a double battle ([[Dragon's Den]]), and against in a single battle (as [[Champion]]) so far.
* Despite taking place three years later, Lance's Pokémon are at a lower level in Generation II then they were in Generation I. The same thing happens to [[Bruno]].
* Lance is the only Champion so far to not use a {{type2|Grass}} Pokémon.
* In the rematch battle in HeartGold/SoulSilver, all of his pokemon have a quadruple weakness to either rock, ice or electric.

==Trivia==
* Suicune is the only non-{{type2|Ice}} to learn Blizzard through level-up, but only in {{game|Platinum}}. Prior to its release, all Pokémon that could learn Blizzard by leveling up were at least part-{{type2|Ice}}.

'''Rayquaza''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''レックウザ''' ''Rayquaza'') is a dual-type {{2t|Dragon|Flying}} [[legendary Pokémon]].

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

In {{game|Emerald}}, it served to end the conflict between {{p|Kyogre}} and {{p|Groudon}} when [[Team Magma]]'s leader [[Maxie]] and [[Team Aqua]]'s leader [[Archie]] awakened them.

Rayquaza is the version mascot of {{game|Emerald}}, appearing on the boxart.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Rayquaza is a large, green, flying snake-like creature with red-tipped, rudder-like wings on its shoulders and down its body, and similarly-patterned fins on the tip of its tail. Yellow rings run across the length of Rayquaza's body and it has an additional yellow ring on top of its head. Rayquaza has two limbs with three-clawed carpals, and two long, flat, horn-like structures on its head, with two smaller horns below them. Rayquaza appears to have a prominent gumline, with only two discernible fangs on the tip of its upper snout, the other protrusions in its mouth apparently from pointed gums. Its eyes and markings resemble those of both {{p|Kyogre}} and {{p|Groudon}}.

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

====Special abilities====
It is notable for its ability to [[trio master|soothe]] the other members of the [[Weather trio]], when angered. Rayquaza is capable of using various powerful elemental attacks that it shoots from its mouth. Rayquaza can negate the effects of the weather. Since Rayquaza is a "true" {{type2|Dragon}} Pokémon, it can learn {{m|Draco Meteor}}.

===Behavior===
Rayquaza constantly flies around the globe in the ozone layer, stopping and descending only to land on the peak of the Sky Pillar to rest. It is extremely territorial and will attack any intruders of its home. Due to the fact that can calm the other members of [[Weather trio|its trio]], it can be seen to be considered a leader and calm.

===Habitat===
[[Image:Rare.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Rare Pokémon}}]]
Rayquaza lives high in the {{wp|ozone layer}}, but may rest on [[Sky Pillar]] or on [[Sky Tower Summit]]. It also, on occasion, flies the world's skies when disturbed.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}
Rayquaza consumes water particles in the atmosphere.

==In the anime==
[[File:Rayquaza_flying.png|thumb|275px|right|Rayquaza in the anime]]

{{mov|Rayquaza|Rayquaza|7}} appears in ''[[M07|Destiny Deoxys]]''. This Pokémon, like most other featured legendary Pokémon, proved to be extremely powerful, and it was possibly one of the most powerful Pokémon ever featured in the history of the anime. It fights against {{mov|Deoxys}} because it is seen as invading its territory. After a destructive battle over a glacier witnessed by [[Professor Lund]], [[Yuko]] and Lund's son [[Tory Lund|Tory]], and although it takes a few {{m|Psycho Boost}}s and is critically hit and falls into the freezing ocean, Rayquaza comes back and defeats Deoxys with a {{m|Hyper Beam}} attack. Four years later, Deoxys manages to regenerate, and it goes to find its friend, a fellow Deoxys, Rayquaza senses its presence and goes to LaRousse City to battle Deoxys again. After [[LaRousse City]] has been evacuated, Rayquaza manages to break through Deoxys's city-wide barrier after many failed attempts. Then, Rayquaza and Deoxys have a second spectacular battle that destroys some of the city. After {{p|Deoxys}} finds its friend and helps fight off the malfunctioning security bots, Rayquaza realizes that Deoxys is good and stops attacking. It (or possibly another of its species) also has a cameo in the opening to the [[Pokémon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea|ninth Pokémon movie]] and is captured by Team Rocket. Its current status is unknown, possibly flying around in the atmosphere (assuming it managed to escape from Team Rocket).

In ''[[DP043|Malice in Wonderland]]'', a Rayquaza appeared in ownership of [[Cynthia]], but as an illusion created by {{p|Mismagius}}. When Mismagius fuses with Rayquaza, it becomes the same color as the Mismagius.

Rayquaza appeared in outer space in ''[[DP142|Where No Togepi Has Gone Before!]]''.

==In the manga==
===In [[Pokémon Adventures]]===
To stop the battle between Kyogre and Groudon, [[Wally]] and [[Norman]] trained at the [[Sky Tower]] and woke up Rayquaza. Five years earlier, {{adv|Ruby}}'s victory over a {{P|Salamence}} was the reason Norman was banned from the Gym Leader test as the wounded Salamence accidentally let Rayquaza, who was in captivity at that time, free.

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

==Other appearances==
===[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]===
Rayquaza appears in [[the Subspace Emissary]] mode of Super Smash Bros. Brawl as a boss. After Diddy Kong lands into a mysterious island, Rayquaza lunges out of the water and snatches him, furious from being distrupted. A ship suddenly crash-lands and smashes onto the beach, and out jumps Fox, who deflects Rayquaza's {{m|Dragon Pulse}} back at it. Rayquaza collapses into the water, but not for long until it launches back out, engaging in battle between Fox and Diddy. Later, it is fought in the Great Maze level again and can be fought in the Boss Battles after the storyline is beaten.

====Trophy Information====
''A Sky High Pokémon. It normally resides high up in the ozone layer where it flies endlessly, so it is rarely seen. However, when {{P|Groudon}} and {{P|Kyogre}} began to fight, it appeared to calm them down. It has the ability {{A|Air Lock}}, which blocks all weather-condition effects. It has exceedingly strong abilities, and its attack power is especially remarkable.''

==Game data==
===NPC appearances===
[[Image:RayquazaSSBB.jpg|right|thumb|Rayquaza, as it appears in Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]
* [[Pokémon Pinball: Ruby & Sapphire]]: Rayquaza is the focus of the third and final Bonus Field. It can only be challenged after capturing {{p|Groudon}} or {{p|Kyogre}} and will then join the circuit of bonus fields. Rayquaza will bounce along from left to right, allowing the ball to roll under it if it is up. It will sometimes use {{m|Thunder}} to paralyze the ball if it is not moving fast enough, though it does stay still while it is unleashing the attack. Rayquaza will also sometimes use {{m|ExtremeSpeed}} to create two tornadoes that cause the ball to fly up into the air for several seconds if contact is made. Rayquaza must be hit 15 times in three minutes to win. After beating the round twice, Rayquaza will be captured.
* [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon]]: Rayquaza acts as the final boss, living on the [[Sky Tower]]. Rayquaza helps save the {{pkmn|world}} from a meteor. After the credits roll, the player can re-battle Rayquaza to recruit it.
* {{ga|Pokémon Ranger}}: Rayquaza can be captured in a bonus mission after the credits.
* [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness]]: Rayquaza is the guardian of the [[Seven Treasures|Sky Melodica]].

==Trivia==
*Rayquaza has the highest [[Stat#Attack|Attack]] stat of all {{type2|Dragon}} Pokémon.
** Rayquaza is tied with {{p|Palkia}} and {{p|Dialga}} for highest {{stat|Special Attack}} of all {{type2|Dragon}} Pokémon
*Rayquaza is the tallest legendary Pokémon.
*Rayquaza is the only legendary Pokémon to learn an [[HM]] move by level-up in the same generation that it's an HM.
*Rayquaza is the only legendary Pokémon that can be captured at a higher level than the Elite Four's Pokémon before becoming the champion. This only happens in {{game|Emerald}}.
*Not counting {{m|Hidden Power}} and {{m|Natural Gift}}, Rayquaza can learn damaging attacks of fifteen of the seventeen types, tying with {{p|Togekiss}} and {{p|Lucario}} for the most, not counting {{p|Mew}}, {{p|Smeargle}} or {{p|Arceus}}.
**It cannot learn any damaging {{t|Psychic}}- or {{type2|Poison}} moves, but ''can'' learn {{m|Rest}} and {{m|Toxic}}, while Togekiss cannot learn any damaging {{t|Ice}}- or {{type2|Poison}} moves, but can learn {{m|Toxic}} as well.
*It is said that Rayquaza will come if {{p|Groudon}} and {{p|Kyogre}} are battling, but it didn't appear in the episodes ''[[AG097|Gaining Groudon]]'' and ''[[AG098|The Scuffle of Legends]]''.
*Rayquaza is the only [[trio master]] that is actually a member of its own trio.
*Out of the [[weather trio]], it is the only one with a secondary [[type]].
*Though Rayquaza can be fought by a Pokémon character in Super Smash Bros. Brawl's Subspace Emissary, it is not fought by any Pokémon characters when it first appears.
*Rayquaza is currently the only Pokémon with its [[base stats|base stat total]] that does not share the specific stat numbers with another Pokémon: {{p|Mewtwo}}, {{p|Lugia}}, and {{p|Ho-Oh}} all have a 90-90-106-110-130-154 distribution in different orders, while the [[dragon trio]] all have 90-100-100-120-120-150.
===Origin===
Rayquaza is most likely based on the Hebrew legends of {{wp|Ziz}}, the unconquerable primal master of the sky. Its counterparts were {{wp|Behemoth}} and {{wp|Leviathan}}. Rayquaza's appearance also draws inspiration from a ''{{wp|Chinese dragon}}''.
====Name origin====
Rayquaza's name is likely a combination of ''{{wp|ray (geometry)|ray}}'' and ''{{wp|quasar}}''. Although Rayquaza's Romanized name suggests its Japanese name is meant to be the same as its English name, it could be a combination of 烈 ''retsu'', violent or furious, 空 ''kū'', sky, and 座 ''za'', from universe.

Magnet Train

2010-02-19T04:22:40Z

CubeShapedWatermelon: You can also commune between Johto and Kanto by walking

[[File:MagnettrainGSC.png|thumb|right|250px|The Magnet Train station in {{3v2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}]]
The '''Magnet Train''' (Japanese: '''リニアモーターカー''' ''Linear Motorcar'') is found in [[Johto]] and [[Kanto]] during the [[Generation II]] and {{gen|IV}} {{pkmn|games}}. It [[Transportation in Pokémon|runs]] between [[Goldenrod City]] and [[Saffron City]] twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week. It allows rapid travel between the two cities, going at over 340 miles per hour.

Initially, the train is out of service as a minion of [[Team Rocket]] has stolen a valuable part from the [[Power Plant]] in Kanto. After defeating him in [[Cerulean City]], players can retrieve the part from the Cerulean City Gym and return it to the Power Plant. With the component back in place, the train will have the necessary power to run.

To board the train, a potential rider must have a Pass. The {{OBP|Copycat|character}} of [[Saffron City]] has one (given to her as compensation for the fact that the station in Saffron is built where her house used to be), and is willing to give it up as a reward for returning her [[Poké Doll]] that {{ga|Red|a boy}} gave to her [[Generation I|three years before]].

Of the three methods offered in the game to commute between Johto and Kanto, the Magnet Train is much faster and runs more often than the [[S.S. Aqua]], which runs on a set schedule between [[Olivine City]] and [[Vermilion City]].

{| align="left"

| [[File:Magnet Train on the track.jpg|thumb|left|The Magnet Train along the track in {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}]]
|}

In [[Generation II]], the Magnet Train runs on the railway tracks along the ground. In [[Generation IV]], the train and its station run along an elevated track, much like a {{wp|monorail}}.

==Trivia==
*This is most likely based on the {{wp|Tōkaidō Shinkansen}} bullet train that runs from {{wp|Tokyo}} to {{wp|Osaka}}. Tokyo and Osaka are Saffron City and Goldenrod City's real-world counterparts, respectively.
*In HeartGold and SoulSilver, the Magnet Train tracks are visible from the ground, such as on [[Route 32]].

'''Professor Elm''' (Japanese: '''ウツギ博士''' ''Dr. Utsugi'') is the resident [[Pokémon Professor]] of [[New Bark Town]] in [[Johto]]. Saying so himself, Professor Elm studies unusual Pokémon abilities. He also specializes in [[Pokémon breeding]], and is credited with the discovery of [[Pokémon egg]]s.

Elm gives one of the three [[starter Pokémon]] of Johto —{{p|Chikorita}}, {{p|Cyndaquil}}, and {{p|Totodile}} — to {{ga|Gold}}, {{ga|Kris}}{{tt|*|Crystal}} and {{ga|Kotone}}{{tt|*|HeartGold/SoulSilver}} so that he or she will have an easier time of getting to [[Mr. Pokémon]]'s house.

==In the games==
Professor Elm works at his Laboratory in [[New Bark Town]] with his aide. He lives in a small house near his laboratory with his wife and child. Elm is known for being a little scatter-brained and disorganized when he gets wrapped up with his research. He holds [[Professor Oak]] in high regards. At the start of Pokémon [[Pokémon Gold and Silver Versions|Gold, Silver]], [[Pokémon Crystal Version|Crystal]], [[Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver Versions|HeartGold, and SoulSilver]] he gives the {{player}} his or her first [[starter Pokémon]].

After successfully hatching the {{pkmn|egg}} containing {{p|Togepi}}, he gives the player an {{evostone|Everstone}}.

Also, after defeating the [[Elite Four]], he gives you a [[Master Ball]] and a ticket to the [[S.S. Aqua]].

==In the anime==
[[Image:Elm.jpg|220px|left|thumb|Professor Elm in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]
[[Image:Professor Elm.png|thumb|right|Elm's art from Gold, Silver, and Crystal.|80px]]
Elm was the top student of [[Professor Oak]], and often argues with him over their research. Elm is also well known for his very long and unnecessary speeches. He is also absent-minded and Elm has a habit of getting incredibly wrapped up in his research that he is completely oblivious to his surroundings.

{{Ash}}, [[Misty]] and [[Brock]] first met Professor Elm in the episode ''[[EP117|Don't Touch That 'dile]]''. After a period of travel, they met up again while he was studying in the [[Whirl Islands]] with [[Captain Marius]], and finally again when Ash returns to New Bark Town.

As the head of the Pokémon Preservation Council, he asked Ash to deliver an {{pkmn|egg}} that had been poached from Mt. Silver to him. This hatched into a {{AP|Larvitar}}, which Professor Elm then asked Ash to deliver to its home.

His most recent appearance was a short cameo in ''[[The Mastermind of Mirage Pokémon]]''.

==In the manga==
In Pokémon Adventures, he was initially to be brought several Pokémon by [[Joey]] from [[Professor Oak]], but before that happened, the Totodile that he was studying was stolen, and he was knocked unconscious before he could do anything. Gold then arrived and took Cyndaquil as well.

After Gold first battled with the [[Masked Man]] at the [[Ilex Forest]] and lost, Elm was able to get a sample of his clothing and found particles on them, but he did not know what they were. Elm then contacted Gold when he was battling the Masked Man for a second time, informing him that the particles on the clothes are the same substance used for Gym Badges, and that the Masked Man must be a trainer. He tells Gold that he shouldn't try to fight him, but Gold simply replies with "It's too late".

Professor Elm then decided that Gold was trustworthy enough to try and hatch an egg for him, saying that it hadn't moved an inch while it was in the lab. Whilst the egg did hatch into a {{p|Togepi}}, due to Gold's habits of visiting arcades while it was an egg, it learned how to play dice, pool, and poker, making Elm furious about how Gold had turned it into a delinquent.

Joey stays behind with him to help Elm with chores and research.

Afterwards, both Joey and Elm make a cameo in the DP saga, talking with [[Professor Rowan]] via videophone.

'''Arceus''' (Japanese: '''アルセウス''' ''Arceus'') is a major character from ''[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]''. Its Japanese voice actor is ''Akihiro Miwa'' and its English voice actor is [[Tom Wayland]].

==History==
[[Image:Arceus Ghost Type.png|235px|thumb|left|Arceus in Ghost-type form]]
[[Image:Arceus Fire Type.png|235px|thumb|left|Arceus in Fire-type form]]
Arceus made its debut in ''Arceus and the Jewel of Life''. Thousands of years in the past, when the world was threatened by a meteor, Arceus summoned all of its power and tackled the massive rock, destroying it. However, in the process Arceus lost the sixteen [[Plates]] that gave it life and began to die. At this time it met [[Damos]], who found the missing Plates and returned them, giving Arceus strength to pull back the others and thus fully recover. In gratitude for Damos's actions, Arceus detached five of its Plates and formed the [[Jewel of Life]], which it loaned to him in order to make the desolate wasteland of [[Michina Town]] rich and fertile.

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

Its next appearance came in the era of {{Ash}} and [[Ash's friends|his friends]], in which it appeared in Michina Town and began passing down its Judgment to destroy the area. [[Sheena]] attempted to return the Jewel of Life in this era but inadvertently gave it a fake (which had been created to further prevent it from retaking the real Jewel), making it even angrier. When the [[dragon trio]] appeared to protect the world from Arceus, {{an|Palkia}} restrained it while {{an|Dialga}} sent the heroes back in time to Damos's betrayal.

In the ancient past the group discovers that Damos was controlled by another man, [[Marcus]], who had grown bitter with his belief that returning the Jewel of Life to Arceus would result in Michina Town once again becoming desolate and wished to destroy it to prevent such events. By manipulating Sheena, Marcus nearly succeeded in killing Arceus and permanently altering the fabric of space-time (nearly destroying Ash and all the other heroes except Damos in the process). Fortunately, Damos managed to reach the last bit of life in Arceus's heart, giving it enough strength to re-absorb the Jewel of Life from Ash, saving it from certain death. It then revived the heroes, and they returned to the future. Although Arceus was still furious when they returned, it remembered Ash's role in saving its life, thus soothing its rage and, as it later remarked, making it feel part of the world Ash and the others lived in for the "first time".

==Trivia==
*Of the so-called "Dragon Trilogy", there has been at least one Pokémon in each film that can communicate through telepathy, {{mov|Darkrai|Darkrai|10}} (''[[M10|The Rise of Darkrai]]''), {{mov|Shaymin|Shaymin|11}} (''[[M11|Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]'') and Arceus (''[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]''). Interestingly, all three Pokémon are only available through [[Event Pokémon|Nintendo events]], all three only appeared in a single film of the trilogy and are the last three Pokémon in National Pokédex order as of Generation IV.
*Strangely, though silver is considered a holy metal in many cultures, Arceus almost died from having molten silver poured on it. This is not strange at all however, because molten silver is one thousand degrees celcius hot.

'''Charizard''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''リザードン''' ''Lizardon'') is a dual-type {{2t|Fire|Flying}} Pokémon.

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

Charizard is the [[version mascot]] of [[Pokémon Red and Blue Versions|Pokémon Red]] and [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions|FireRed]] Versions. It also makes an appearance on the {{ga|Pokémon Ranger}}, {{en|Pokémon Stadium}}, and [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky]] boxarts.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Unlike its pre-evolutions, it has powerful wings that can allow it to {{m|fly}} at blinding speeds, although the faster it flies, the more strain is put on the Pokémon, and it must rest for a good while after doing so. It is also more vulnerable to attacks the more outspread its wings are, so its newfound flying ability should be treated with as much care as a {{type2|Flying}} Pokémon. It has a considerably higher defense than its pre-evolutions, though as noted before caution should be used about its wings, which have little defense. Its physical strength now matches the strength of its {{type2|Fire}} attacks, and it can withstand mid-high altitude pressure, allowing it to fly above mountains, and can even withstand the high pressure and extreme heat of volcanoes. Charizard is a very {{t|dragon}}-like Pokémon. Like its previous forms, it has a long tail with a fire burning at the tip. The front of its two wings is blue, while the back is orange like the most of its body. Although hardly visible, Charizard's iris is light blue in color. Its belly is cream-colored.
====Gender differences====
None.

===Special abilities===
As a {{type2|Fire}} {{pkmn2|starter}}, Charizard has the ability to learn {{m|Blast Burn}}.

Because of the wings it has grown upon evolution, Charizard is now able to {{m|fly}} and can use many other {{type2|Flying}} abilities. As its pre-evolutions could, it can use {{type2|Fire}} moves. It also has access to {{type2|Dragon}} moves, such as {{m|Dragon Claw}} and {{m|DragonBreath}}.

===Behavior===
Generally, a Charizard will be competitive. It loves to battle and spend a great amount of time training or looking for opponents. Its competitive spirit is also noteworthy, since it will never spit flames at a weaker foe unless provoked or commanded. When it gets very angered, the flames on its tail become a blueish-white color. It spits fire that is hot enough to melt boulders. It is known to have unintentionally caused massive forest fires with its tail-flame. The more experienced a Charizard, the more intense its tail flame and breath are.

===Habitat===
[[Image:Mountain.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Mountain Pokémon}}]]
Charizard is mercifully rare in the wild; however, there is [[Charicific Valley|a valley]] somewhere in [[Johto]] wherein many Charizard reside. Charizard also inhabit craggy mountains and active volcanoes.

===Diet===

==In the anime==
[[Image:Ash's Charizard furious.png|thumb|right|210px|[[Ash's Charizard]]]]
===Major appearances===
====[[Ash's Charizard]]====
[[Ash Ketchum]] has a {{AP|Charizard}} that he obtained as a Charmander in ''[[EP011|Charmander the Stray Pokémon]]''. It evolved into Charmeleon in ''[[EP043|March of the Exeggutor Squad]]'' and quickly evolved again into Charizard in ''[[EP046|Attack of the Prehistoric Pokémon]]''. From the time of its becoming Charmeleon to the [[Orange Archipelago|Orange Islands]] episode ''[[EP105|Charizard Chills]]'', Charizard refused to obey Ash. After ''Charizard Chills'', however, it became one of Ash's strongest Pokémon, perhaps even stronger than {{AP|Pikachu}}. Ash left Charizard in the [[Charicific Valley]] with {{jo|Liza}} in ''[[EP134|Charizard's Burning Ambition]]''. It has returned to visit and battle for him on several occasions since then, however.

====Other====
Charizard first appeared in ''[[EP017|Island of the Giant Pokémon]]'', however it was a fake mechanical robot.
[[image:Charizardfirespin.png‎|200px|thumb|Charizard in the anime.]]
When [[James]] was in the Pokémon League Entrance Exam in ''[[EP056|The Ultimate Test]]'', he used a Charizard that he eventually tried to steal.
In ''[[H017|Those Darn Electabuzz]]'', {{an|Casey}} had to help Corey Demario and his Charizard named Don get their fighting spirit back so that Corey could start pitching for The Electabuzz Baseball Team.

[[Clark]] used a Charizard and {{p|Quilava}} against [[Ash's Grovyle]] and {{AP|Glalie}} in ''[[AG128|Shocks and Bonds]]''. Clark's Charizard defeated Ash's Grovyle and lost to Ash's Glalie.

In ''[[AG177|Grating Spaces]]'', {{OBP|Delibird|Team Rocket}} gave [[Jessie]] and [[James]] a Charizard and an {{p|Aggron}}, with Jessie getting {{TP|Jessie|Charizard}} and James getting {{TP|James|Aggron}}. However, Delibird took the two Pokémon away at the end of the episode as the Charizard and Aggron were meant for [[Cassidy]] and [[Butch]].

===Minor appearances===
A Charizard was used by Team Rocket in a battle against [[Ash's Totodile]] as part of an elaborate plan to capture Pikachu in ''[[EP248|One Trick Phony!]]''.

A trainer used a Charizard in the {{to|Verdanturf}} [[Pokémon Contest]] in ''[[AG051|Come What May]]''.

In [[Electric Tale of Pikachu]], [[Ritchie]] has [[Zippo|a Charizard]], which he pitted against Ash's Charizard in their battle in the [[Indigo League]].

In [[Pokémon Battle Frontier]], [[Rald]], the main character's mentor has a Charizard.

In [[Pokémon Zensho]], {{OBP|Satoshi|Zensho}} has a Charizard that was originally a Charmander he received from Professor Oak.

==In the TCG==
{{main|Charizard (TCG)}}
Charizard's [[Charizard (Base Set 4)|first-released TCG card]], which as part of the {{TCG|Base Set}}, was widely regarded at the height of popularity of Pokémon as the best card ever. This was because of its powerful attack, Fire Spin, and useful Pokémon Power, Energy Burn, which allowed it to convert any Energy attached to it to {{TCG|Fire}} Energy. {{m|Fire Spin}} needed four Fire Energy and could deal 100 damage, knocking out the majority of Pokémon cards. Individual Charizard cards were sold up to as much as $150. This Charizard card was reprinted in [[Wizards of the Coast]]'s {{TCG|Base Set 2}} and {{TCG|Legendary Collection}} sets, and rereleased in the {{TCG|Stormfront}} expansion.

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

==Other appearances==
[[Image:Charizard Rock Smash.jpg|right|thumb|[[Red (game)|Pokémon Trainer]] commanding Charizard to use {{m|Rock Smash}} in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]].]]
===[[Super Smash Bros.]]/[[Super Smash Bros. Melee|Melee]]/[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl|Brawl]]===
Charizard makes an appearance as a Pokémon released randomly from a [[Poké Ball]]. When summoned, Charizard will utilize {{m|Flamethrower}} alternating between the left and right. In Melee, the flames have more of a downward angle.

Charizard is a playable Pokémon used by {{ga|Red|Pokémon Trainer}} in the third game in the series, Brawl. It can use {{m|Flamethrower}} and {{m|Rock Smash}}. It also uses {{m|Fly}} and has the ability to glide. Charizard is a Heavyweight and attacks with various physical attacks. It uses {{m|Fire Blast}} in Pokémon Trainer's Final Smash, {{DL|Final Smash|Triple Finish}}.

====Melee trophy information====
It's hard to believe, but this massive Flame Pokémon evolves from the tiny Charmander. Not only can it fly at heights of over 4,500 feet, but its flaming breath is hot enough to reduce almost anything to ashes in seconds. The flames at the end of a Charizard's tail are said to be a fairly accurate barometer of its power.

====Brawl trophy information====
A Flame Pokémon. Its fiery breath is hot enough to burn up rocks, and its wings let it fly up to 4,600 feet into the air. It's a proud Pokémon that will never use its flame breath on an opponent weaker than itself. The flame on its tail is a barometer of how much vitality it has remaining. Its signature move, Flamethrower, is a reliable technique.

====Special moves====
In Pokémon Mystery Dungeon, Charizard will learn Blast Burn at level 99 if it has at least 333 [[IQ]] points. If this requirement is not met until after reaching level 99, Blast Burn will still be available at the Move Relearner.

==Trivia==
* Charizard is the only evolution of a [[starter Pokémon]] that can learn {{m|Fly}} through [[HM02]]. However, it was unable to do so in {{v2|Red and Blue|s}}. This was changed starting with {{v2|Yellow}}, making it possible to still get a Charizard with Fly in the original games by trading one from a later version.
* Charizard has a cry that is completely identical to that of a {{p|Rhyhorn}}.
* Charizard has the same base stats as {{p|Typhlosion}}.
* Charizard is the only non-legendary Pokémon that is a dual-type {{2t|Fire|Flying}} Pokémon. The other known Pokémon with this combination are both legendary — {{p|Moltres}} and {{p|Ho-Oh}}.
** Charizard, {{p|Moltres}}, and {{p|Ho-Oh}} are the only {{type2|Fire}} Pokémon who have a weakness to {{t|Electric}} attacks.
** Also Charizard is the only {{type2|Flying}} Pokémon related to a starter Pokémon.
* Charizard shares the same [[species]] name as {{p|Charmeleon}}, {{p|Flareon}}, {{p|Moltres}}, and {{p|Infernape}}. They are all known as Flame Pokémon.
* Charizard is not a {{t|Dragon}}, but is used by [[Lance]], a {{pkmn|Trainer}} of Dragon-type Pokémon, probably due to its {{egg|Dragon}}-like appearance.
* Charizard is the only non {{type2|Dragon}} to learn {{m|Dragon Claw}} via level-up.
* Due to having a tail, claws, and wings, Charizard is the only Pokémon (save for {{p|Smeargle}} and {{p|Mew}}) to be able to legitimately learn {{m|Iron Tail}}, {{m|Metal Claw}}, and {{m|Steel Wing}}.
* Charizard holds the distinction of being the first Pokémon to appear in the Japanese version of the [[Pokémon anime]]; it is the first one to appear in the original opening credits. However, outside of Japan, this honor belongs to {{p|Mewtwo}}.
* Charizard is the first Pokémon in [[National Pokédex]] order to have a double weakness — {{t|Rock}}. However, it wasn't originally, as in [[Generation I]], the {{type2|Bug}} was super-effective against the {{type2|Poison}}, making {{p|Bulbasaur}} the original first Pokémon with a double weakness.
** Charizard is also the first Pokémon [[National Pokédex]] order to have an immunity — {{t|Ground}}.
* Charizard, along with {{p|Smeargle}}, {{p|Mew}} and {{p|Flygon}}, can learn both {{m|Dig}} and {{m|Fly}}.
* In the anime, the inside of Charizard's wings are colored green, while in the games, they are colored blue.
* In [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]], Charizard is the only Pokémon forced to use a move not learned through level-up in the [[Pokémon Trainer]]'s Final Smash. It also holds the most machine moves out of all of the Pokémon in the [[Super Smash Bros.]] series.
** Charizard is also the only Pokémon in the [[Super Smash Bros.]] that transitioned from a [[Poké Ball]] Pokémon to a playable character.
* Charizard and its evolution family are the only Pokémon who have flames as part of their bodies that do not go out naturally (with the Pokémon still being alive).

===Origin===
Charizard resembles the {{wp|European dragon}}, certainly one of many forms told and rendered in legends. Although it is a {{type2|Fire}} Pokémon, it can learn an [[#By leveling up|array]] of {{type2|Dragon}} moves such as {{m|Dragon Rage}} and {{m|Dragon Claw}}. Charizard's prominence as a dragon without being of the {{type2|Dragon}} is further reinforced in the video game {{ga|Pokémon Ranger}}, where one makes a cameo as one of four prominently featured {{wp|classical element|patron elemental}} dragon Pokémon.

The other three Pokémon sharing this distinguishing trait are legitimate Dragon-type Pokémon; {{p|Salamence}}, {{p|Kingdra}}, and {{p|Flygon}}. The patronage of these four dragons is inspired from the four {{wp|classical element}}s; {{wp|Air (classical element)|Air}}, {{wp|Water (classical element)|Water}}, {{wp|Earth (classical element)|Earth}}, and {{wp|Fire (classical element)|Fire}}, with Charizard being the representative of Fire.

It shares some evolutionary traits with Charmeleon in its distinctive horns; also a distinct trait in some dragons.

====Name origin====
Charizard's name is a portmanteau of the words ''char'', to burn, and ''lizard''. ''Lizardon'', on the other hand, is a combination of ''lizard'' and ''don'', which is a suffix meaning tooth that is commonly used in {{wp|dinosaur}} names.

==In other languages==
* [[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Glurak - Comes from ''Glut'' (ember, also the German translation for the {{m|Ember|move of the same name}}) and ''Drache'' (dragon).
* [[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Dracaufeu - Effectively translates as ''Fire Dragon''.
* [[List of Korean Pokémon names|Korean]]: 리자몽 ''Rijamong'' (Lizamon)
* [[List of Chinese Pokémon names|Chinese (Taiwan and Hong Kong)]]: 噴火龍 Pēn Hǔo Lóng - "Fire spurting dragon".

Talk:Professor Oak

2009-09-28T22:56:09Z

CubeShapedWatermelon: /* Dialogue in Oak's Letter event */

== Imposter Oak ==
Impostor Oak should have a disambig, since he's also in the How I Became A Pokémon Card comics, so he'll need a page for that.

That guy doesn't have a name given, though. [[User:Ketsuban|Ketsuban]] 23:19, 6 May 2005 (UTC)

== Takeshi Shudo ==

Does anyone have any info on this [[Takeshi Shudō]] guy and the novels he wrote? This goes out to the guy who put in this info, whoever he/she is [[User:Manga-in-a-bottle|Manga-in-a-bottle]] 13:15, 8 September 2007 (UTC)

== Seaking? ==

When was his Seaking referred to? --[[User:Maxim|Maxim]] 14:23, 8 September 2007 (UTC)
:[[H015|Putting the Air Back in Aerodactyl]] --[[User:Fabu-Vinny|FabuVinny]] [[User talk:Fabu-Vinny|T]]-[[Special:Contributions/Fabu-Vinny|C]]-[[User:Fabu-Vinny/Sandbox|S]] 17:37, 8 September 2007 (UTC)

== Professor Oak's Charmeleon ==
I was thinking of making a ''Professor Oak's Charmeleon'' page. So before I get yelled at for making it (like what happened to me in [[Wynaut (anime)]], [[Kenny's Prinplup]], and [[Kenny's Alakazam]]), I was wondering if people think it would be nessecary. P.S. I know that is a confusing sentence Theryguy512 13:10, 23 September 2007 (UTC)

== SSBM Trophy info? ==

Should I add information on Professor Oak's trophy in Super Smash Bros. Melee? [[Image:Ani384MS.gif]][[User:ShinyRayquaza|ShinyRayquaza]] 20:32, 27 January 2008 (UTC)
:Yes. We already have that information for [[Misty]]. --[[User:Fabu-Vinny|FabuVinny]] [[User talk:Fabu-Vinny|T]]-[[Special:Contributions/Fabu-Vinny|C]]-[[User:Fabu-Vinny/Sandbox|S]] 21:05, 27 January 2008 (UTC)

== Sammy Oak ==

Am I the only one that thinks that Professor Oak looks NOTHING like his younger self? I know it's not just the age difference. They're eyes are completely different and so is their hair. --[[Image:Ani048MS.gif]]'''[[Tracey Sketchit|ケンジ]]'''[[Image:Ani183MS.gif]]'''[[User:Kenji-girl|ガール]]'''[[Image:Ani123MS.gif]] 02:04, 4 February 2008 (UTC)
:Hair doesn't really mean anything (he's an old man and it's been ''several'' years; changing a hair style likes ten minutes), but yeah, their eyes are too different. But then again, that doesn't mean much either (at least in anime).--[[User:Urutapu|Ｌｏｖｅはドコ？]] ([[User talk:Urutapu|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Urutapu|contribs]]) 02:25, 4 February 2008 (UTC)

== 50? ==

Where/when does it ever say that his age is 50? --[[user:Baby G|Baby G]] ([[user talk:Baby G|talk to me]]) ([[Special:Contributions/Baby_G|see my edits]]) 19:48, 16 September 2008 (UTC)

:In the 4th movie he is around Ash's age when he was brought from the future 40 years from the past. Simple math means he's around 50-55.--[[User:Outrage DD|Outrage DD]] 02:11, 9 October 2008 (UTC)
:: Since we don't actually know his age back then, whose against chaning it to Approx. 50 as the listed age?--[[User:Outrage DD|Outrage DD]] 02:13, 9 October 2008 (UTC)
:::The fact that Rowan says he (Oak) is ten years in his junior and says that he (Rowan) has lived for sixty years is a better reason. And it should stay for that reason. --[[User:PsychicRider|'''Psychic''']][[User talk:PsychicRider|'''Rider''']]''''[[Special:Contributions/PsychicRider|'''☮''']]'' 02:15, 9 October 2008 (UTC)
::::WHen you get that old people tend to round their ages up or down to the nearest tenth but there's no proof of that. Also Professor Oak would be one young Grandfather if he's only fifty by D/P time.--[[User:Outrage DD|Outrage DD]] 00:45, 28 October 2008 (UTC)
:::::You have to remember that in Japan, grandparents are YOUNG. Or at least, in Japanese media, but I assume that refers to the actual situation in Japan. If most couples are married by 20, and immediately have children, then you can have a 50 year old grandfather at the age of 10. "40 years ago, when I was your age" seems to be a common reoccuring theme for Anime/Manga grandparents. Also note that this age estimate was never present in the games, and considering the more youthful appearance of Oak and Agatha in the anime rather than in the games, we can probably assume that Blue's grandfather is older than 50. Remember, he's too old to go out travelling the world, training and fighting with Pokémon. Prof. Oak in the anime even uses a Dragonite in battle, so various things don't apply cross-canon. But it's not too inconceivable to have a 50 year old grandfather. In America these days, we often don't have children until much later, let alone get married around 20 (usually, marriage occurs in mid to late 20s, again, IN AMERICA). But my grandparents had my dad when my grandmother was 19 and my grandfather was 21, so if my dad had done the same, I would have had a 50 year old grandfather (approximately). Because I wasn't born until much later, I don't. But it's all about culture here. [[User:Kumori Satosuke|Satosuke]] 04:51, 28 October 2008 (UTC)
::::::Proven both via in-game dialog (Rowan is 10 years Oak's senior at 60) and the anime (Oak was 10 40 years ago). Oak's 50. Well. 50 in Gen II/IV, and 47 in I/III. The question is... what do we put it as, 47 or 50? '''[[User:TTEchidna|''TTE'']][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]]''' 23:11, 21 May 2009 (UTC)

== What's with the pic ==

Why is there an Anime picture under the game's artwork section? Atleast I think its from the anime, I've never seen that before. Where's it from?--[[User:Outrage DD|Outrage DD]] 02:14, 9 October 2008 (UTC)

== Huh? ==

Why is the fact that you can actually fight Professor Oak through a glitch in Generation I not here? I think that's a very important piece of information. --[[User:Alex S.|Alex S.]] 23:17, 5 December 2008 (UTC)
Whoops, I missed it. But shouldn't there be a Pokémon In Team thing for his Pokémon from Generation I? --[[User:Alex S.|Alex S.]] 23:23, 5 December 2008 (UTC)

== Status Unknown? ==
Should Charmeleon be under 'Status Unknown' as it only appeared in Pokémon 4Ever, and the Oak in that was about 40-50 years younger than the one now? [[User:Simpsonsdude13| Elliot]] 09:16, 13 December 2008 (UTC)

== Sammy Oak ==
I think he needs his own page. He was a main character in a movie! This page doesnt even say much about him. --[[User:Blake|Blake]] 18:51, 19 February 2009 (UTC)
:If you have something to add about Sammy, go and at it there. We don't do multiple page for a single character (except maybe Ash as Ashley and Asachu, different circumstances). '''►[[User:Kevzo8|Ҝə]][[Special:Contributions/Kevzo8|υz]][[User_talk:Kevzo8|ø8]]''' 04:03, 21 February 2009 (UTC)

== Dialogue in Oak's Letter event ==

Marley: ''I... I don't like to talk... I choose my words carefully, but they may still hurt someone accidentally... When I think of that, I clam up...''

''That's why I think this certain Pokemon is so wonderful. It's a Pokemon that conveys the feelings of gratitude in a nice way...''

''That stone tablet... It has a strange feel to it...''

Oak: ''Ah, (Player's name here)! It's good to see you! Without any further ado, I'd like you to examine this stone tablet. Something just like it was also discovered in the Kanto region. I want to ask for your help in solving the mystery behind this.''

*Player Character approaches the stone tablet.

Oak: ''I tried deciphering the engravings on this stone tablet. Apparently, it is for a Trainer to engrave his or her thoughts after growing as a person on an adventure.''

''A trainer fitting that description would be you.''

''That's why I'm asking for your help. You've met many people and Pokemon; you've experienced many things that shaped you into the person you are. I want you to sincerely tell me who affected you the most. Tell me, to whom do you most want to say your thanks?''

*Player Character enters an answer.

Impostor Oak should have a disambig, since he's also in the How I Became A Pokémon Card comics, so he'll need a page for that.

:::::You have to remember that in Japan, grandparents are YOUNG. Or at least, in Japanese media, but I assume that refers to the actual situation in Japan. If most couples are married by 20, and immediately have children, then you can have a 50 year old grandfather at the age of 10. "40 years ago, when I was your age" seems to be a common reoccuring theme for Anime/Manga grandparents. Also note that this age estimate was never present in the games, and considering the more youthful appearance of Oak and Agatha in the anime rather than in the games, we can probably assume that Blue's grandfather is older than 50. Remember, he's too old to go out travelling the world, training and fighting with Pokémon. Prof. Oak in the anime even uses a Dragonite in battle, so various things don't apply cross-canon. But it's not too inconceivable to have a 50 year old grandfather. In America these days, we often don't have children until much later, let alone get married around 20 (usually, marriage occurs in mid to late 20s, again, IN AMERICA). But my grandparents had my dad when my grandmother was 19 and my grandfather was 21, so if my dad had done the same, I would have had a 50 year old grandfather (approximately). Because I wasn't born until much later, I don't. But it's all about culture here. [[User:Kumori Satosuke|Satosuke]] 04:51, 28 October 2008 (UTC)

''?! What was that Pokemon? Is it somehow connected to the stone tablet? Hmm... Where did that Pokemon go? Its destination is intriguing.''

Marley: ''Thank you... That must have been the Pokemon that conveys the feelingss of gratitude... You made it so I could see it... So, I'll have to convey thanks in my own words, too...

''To you, too... Thank you..."

==Quotes==
When first met: 
''...I'm Marley.''
''...You are..? [[player character|[player]]], I want to get through this cave, can I come with you?''

When joined: 
''...Pokémon shouldn't be hurt... I'll heal them...''

In conversation: 
''... You're very chatty.''

''...The Pokémon among flowers...''

Deeper in the cave: 
''...Oh! This is it. There's a stone tablet ahead... I wanted to see the Pokémon that visits, that's all... I appreciate your escorting me...''

''...Just a little...''

Losing in battle: 
''...My time with you is drawing to a close...''

After battle: 
''...You're so strong. It makes me feel happy. ...I don't know why. This is a strange feeling...''

''...I might like battling with you. ...Just a little. Only a tiny bit.''

Approaching Route 224 Tablet in the [[Oak's Letter]] Event: 

''I... I don't like to talk... I choose my words carefully, but they may still hurt someone accidentally... When I think of that, I clam up...''

''That's why I think this certain Pokemon is so wonderful. It's a Pokemon that conveys the feelings of gratitude in a nice way...''

''That stone tablet... It has a strange feel to it...''

''Thank you... That must have been the Pokemon that conveys the feelingss of gratitude... You made it so I could see it... So, I'll have to convey thanks in my own words, too...

''To you, too... Thank you..."

==Trivia==
* Marley's outfit is based on the Japanese {{wp|gothic lolita}} style.
* Marley appears to have an interest in {{p|Shaymin}}, and often refers to it when the player speaks to her. She is also involved in the event to catch Shaymin.
* Marley is the only one of the [[stat Trainers]] to not use at least one [[legendary Pokémon]] in the {{si|Battle Tower}} in {{2v2|Diamond|Pearl}}. This changes in {{v2|Platinum}}, as she has a {{p|Raikou}}.

Talk:Professor Oak

2009-09-28T22:52:32Z

CubeShapedWatermelon: /* Dialogue in Oak's Letter event */ new section

== Imposter Oak ==
Impostor Oak should have a disambig, since he's also in the How I Became A Pokémon Card comics, so he'll need a page for that.

That guy doesn't have a name given, though. [[User:Ketsuban|Ketsuban]] 23:19, 6 May 2005 (UTC)

== Takeshi Shudo ==

Does anyone have any info on this [[Takeshi Shudō]] guy and the novels he wrote? This goes out to the guy who put in this info, whoever he/she is [[User:Manga-in-a-bottle|Manga-in-a-bottle]] 13:15, 8 September 2007 (UTC)

== Seaking? ==

When was his Seaking referred to? --[[User:Maxim|Maxim]] 14:23, 8 September 2007 (UTC)
:[[H015|Putting the Air Back in Aerodactyl]] --[[User:Fabu-Vinny|FabuVinny]] [[User talk:Fabu-Vinny|T]]-[[Special:Contributions/Fabu-Vinny|C]]-[[User:Fabu-Vinny/Sandbox|S]] 17:37, 8 September 2007 (UTC)

== Professor Oak's Charmeleon ==
I was thinking of making a ''Professor Oak's Charmeleon'' page. So before I get yelled at for making it (like what happened to me in [[Wynaut (anime)]], [[Kenny's Prinplup]], and [[Kenny's Alakazam]]), I was wondering if people think it would be nessecary. P.S. I know that is a confusing sentence Theryguy512 13:10, 23 September 2007 (UTC)

== SSBM Trophy info? ==

Should I add information on Professor Oak's trophy in Super Smash Bros. Melee? [[Image:Ani384MS.gif]][[User:ShinyRayquaza|ShinyRayquaza]] 20:32, 27 January 2008 (UTC)
:Yes. We already have that information for [[Misty]]. --[[User:Fabu-Vinny|FabuVinny]] [[User talk:Fabu-Vinny|T]]-[[Special:Contributions/Fabu-Vinny|C]]-[[User:Fabu-Vinny/Sandbox|S]] 21:05, 27 January 2008 (UTC)

== Sammy Oak ==

Am I the only one that thinks that Professor Oak looks NOTHING like his younger self? I know it's not just the age difference. They're eyes are completely different and so is their hair. --[[Image:Ani048MS.gif]]'''[[Tracey Sketchit|ケンジ]]'''[[Image:Ani183MS.gif]]'''[[User:Kenji-girl|ガール]]'''[[Image:Ani123MS.gif]] 02:04, 4 February 2008 (UTC)
:Hair doesn't really mean anything (he's an old man and it's been ''several'' years; changing a hair style likes ten minutes), but yeah, their eyes are too different. But then again, that doesn't mean much either (at least in anime).--[[User:Urutapu|Ｌｏｖｅはドコ？]] ([[User talk:Urutapu|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Urutapu|contribs]]) 02:25, 4 February 2008 (UTC)

== 50? ==

Where/when does it ever say that his age is 50? --[[user:Baby G|Baby G]] ([[user talk:Baby G|talk to me]]) ([[Special:Contributions/Baby_G|see my edits]]) 19:48, 16 September 2008 (UTC)

:In the 4th movie he is around Ash's age when he was brought from the future 40 years from the past. Simple math means he's around 50-55.--[[User:Outrage DD|Outrage DD]] 02:11, 9 October 2008 (UTC)
:: Since we don't actually know his age back then, whose against chaning it to Approx. 50 as the listed age?--[[User:Outrage DD|Outrage DD]] 02:13, 9 October 2008 (UTC)
:::The fact that Rowan says he (Oak) is ten years in his junior and says that he (Rowan) has lived for sixty years is a better reason. And it should stay for that reason. --[[User:PsychicRider|'''Psychic''']][[User talk:PsychicRider|'''Rider''']]''''[[Special:Contributions/PsychicRider|'''☮''']]'' 02:15, 9 October 2008 (UTC)
::::WHen you get that old people tend to round their ages up or down to the nearest tenth but there's no proof of that. Also Professor Oak would be one young Grandfather if he's only fifty by D/P time.--[[User:Outrage DD|Outrage DD]] 00:45, 28 October 2008 (UTC)
:::::You have to remember that in Japan, grandparents are YOUNG. Or at least, in Japanese media, but I assume that refers to the actual situation in Japan. If most couples are married by 20, and immediately have children, then you can have a 50 year old grandfather at the age of 10. "40 years ago, when I was your age" seems to be a common reoccuring theme for Anime/Manga grandparents. Also note that this age estimate was never present in the games, and considering the more youthful appearance of Oak and Agatha in the anime rather than in the games, we can probably assume that Blue's grandfather is older than 50. Remember, he's too old to go out travelling the world, training and fighting with Pokémon. Prof. Oak in the anime even uses a Dragonite in battle, so various things don't apply cross-canon. But it's not too inconceivable to have a 50 year old grandfather. In America these days, we often don't have children until much later, let alone get married around 20 (usually, marriage occurs in mid to late 20s, again, IN AMERICA). But my grandparents had my dad when my grandmother was 19 and my grandfather was 21, so if my dad had done the same, I would have had a 50 year old grandfather (approximately). Because I wasn't born until much later, I don't. But it's all about culture here. [[User:Kumori Satosuke|Satosuke]] 04:51, 28 October 2008 (UTC)
::::::Proven both via in-game dialog (Rowan is 10 years Oak's senior at 60) and the anime (Oak was 10 40 years ago). Oak's 50. Well. 50 in Gen II/IV, and 47 in I/III. The question is... what do we put it as, 47 or 50? '''[[User:TTEchidna|''TTE'']][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]]''' 23:11, 21 May 2009 (UTC)

== What's with the pic ==

Why is there an Anime picture under the game's artwork section? Atleast I think its from the anime, I've never seen that before. Where's it from?--[[User:Outrage DD|Outrage DD]] 02:14, 9 October 2008 (UTC)

== Huh? ==

Why is the fact that you can actually fight Professor Oak through a glitch in Generation I not here? I think that's a very important piece of information. --[[User:Alex S.|Alex S.]] 23:17, 5 December 2008 (UTC)
Whoops, I missed it. But shouldn't there be a Pokémon In Team thing for his Pokémon from Generation I? --[[User:Alex S.|Alex S.]] 23:23, 5 December 2008 (UTC)

== Status Unknown? ==
Should Charmeleon be under 'Status Unknown' as it only appeared in Pokémon 4Ever, and the Oak in that was about 40-50 years younger than the one now? [[User:Simpsonsdude13| Elliot]] 09:16, 13 December 2008 (UTC)

== Sammy Oak ==
I think he needs his own page. He was a main character in a movie! This page doesnt even say much about him. --[[User:Blake|Blake]] 18:51, 19 February 2009 (UTC)
:If you have something to add about Sammy, go and at it there. We don't do multiple page for a single character (except maybe Ash as Ashley and Asachu, different circumstances). '''►[[User:Kevzo8|Ҝə]][[Special:Contributions/Kevzo8|υz]][[User_talk:Kevzo8|ø8]]''' 04:03, 21 February 2009 (UTC)

== Dialogue in Oak's Letter event ==

Marley: ''I... I don't like to talk... I choose my words carefully, but they may still hurt someone accidentally... When I think of that, I clam up...''

''That's why I think this certain Pokemon is so wonderful. It's a Pokemon that conveys the feelings of gratitude in a nice way...''

''That stone tablet... It has a strange feel to it...''

Oak: ''Ah, William! It's good to see you! Without any further ado, I'd like you to examine this stone tablet. Something just like it was also discovered in the Kanto region. I want to ask for your help in solving the mystery behind this.''

*Player Character approaches the stone tablet.*

''I tried deciphering the engravings on this stone tablet. Apparently, it is for a Trainer to engrave his or her thoughts after growing as a person on an adventure.''

''A trainer fitting that description would be you.''

''That's why I'm asking for your help. You've met many people and Pokemon; you've experienced many things that shaped you into the person you are. I want you to sincerely tell me who affected you the most. Tell me, to whom do you most want to say your thanks?''

*Player Character enters an answer.*

''Hm... You most want to express your thanks to Everyone? You're absolutely certain of it?"

*Player Character says yes.*

*Screen whites out, Seabreak Path appears, Shaymin runs along and cries twice.*

''?! What was that Pokemon? Is it somehow connected to the stone tablet? Hmm... Where did that Pokemon go? Its destination is intriguing.''

Marley: ''Thank you... That must have been the Pokemon that conveys the feelingss of gratitude... You made it so I could see it... So, I'll have to convey thanks in my own words, too...

''To you, too... Thank you..."

==Quotes==
When first met: 
''...I'm Marley.''
''...You are..? [[player character|[player]]], I want to get through this cave, can I come with you?''

When joined: 
''...Pokémon shouldn't be hurt... I'll heal them...''

In conversation: 
''... You're very chatty.''

''...The Pokémon among flowers...''

Deeper in the cave: 
''...Oh! This is it. There's a stone tablet ahead... I wanted to see the Pokémon that visits, that's all... I appreciate your escorting me...''

''...Just a little...''

Losing in battle: 
''...My time with you is drawing to a close...''

After battle: 
''...You're so strong. It makes me feel happy. ...I don't know why. This is a strange feeling...''

''...I might like battling with you. ...Just a little. Only a tiny bit.''

Approaching Route 224 Tablet in the [[Oak's Letter]] Event: 

''I... I don't like to talk... I choose my words carefully, but they may still hurt someone accidentally... When I think of that, I clam up...''

''That's why I think this certain Pokemon is so wonderful. It's a Pokemon that conveys the feelings of gratitude in a nice way...''

''That stone tablet... It has a strange feel to it...''

==Trivia==
* Marley's outfit is based on the Japanese {{wp|gothic lolita}} style.
* Marley appears to have an interest in {{p|Shaymin}}, and often refers to it when the player speaks to her. She is also involved in the event to catch Shaymin.
* Marley is the only one of the [[stat Trainers]] to not use at least one [[legendary Pokémon]] in the {{si|Battle Tower}} in {{2v2|Diamond|Pearl}}. This changes in {{v2|Platinum}}, as she has a {{p|Raikou}}.

== The part about Gold's pants ==

It says Gold is the only male player character who wears shorts. This is not true; Brendan wears shorts in Emerald. --[[User:Evice|Evice]] 04:03, 15 June 2009 (UTC)
:It says he's the only male character who doesn't wear long pants. That is different. --[[User:Galladeon|Galladeon]] 04:50, 15 June 2009 (UTC)
::Yes that's true. But under those shorts are pants. --[[Tracey Sketchit|'''ケンジ''']][[User talk:Kenji-girl|'''の''']][[User:Kenji-girl|'''ガール''']] 05:18, 15 June 2009 (UTC)
:::While it is a confusing style choice (and hell for cosplay), Brendan does wear trousers and then shorts on top. They're not long socks, at least from what I can tell. Unless you have some official source which specifically says something about Brendan's choice of lower-half clothing. '''[[User:TheChrisD|TheChrisD]]''' [[User_talk:TheChrisD|Rants]]•[[Special:Contributions/TheChrisD|Edits]] 16:20, 15 June 2009 (UTC)
::::How exactly can you tell that they aren't long socks? They look like tube socks that are about the same color as his shorts (notice how what you're calling "long pants" aren't as baggy as his pants in Ruby and Sapphire; rather, they're tight like socks). It's not like there aren't socks that are that long. Do ''you'' have an official source regarding his clothes? Wearing shorts over long pants isn't exactly common. --[[User:Evice|Evice]] 22:58, 15 June 2009 (UTC)
:::::Do you have a source that they are are tube socks? --[[User:PsychicRider|PsychicRider]] [[User talk:PsychicRider|T]] - [[Special:Contributions/PsychicRider|C]] 23:08, 15 June 2009 (UTC)
::::::(EC) I've debated it a lot myself, but short of getting some official word on it, it's best to go based on what most people assume it to be at first glance, which seems to be shorts over trousers. I'm really unsure myself, seeing as I don't try and pay all too much attention to it, and my interpretation is also slightly askew because [[Ruby (Special)|of the manga]]. This topic is starting to drift away from being related to Gold and more being related to Brendan, so can we either get back onto it, or move this section to [[Talk:Brendan (game)|Brendan's page]]. '''[[User:TheChrisD|TheChrisD]]''' [[User_talk:TheChrisD|Rants]]•[[Special:Contributions/TheChrisD|Edits]] 23:11, 15 June 2009 (UTC)
:::::::No, but it doesn't look like you have a source saying he's wearing two pairs of pants at the same time, which is more unusual than wearing shorts and long socks. I think they look like socks because whatever he's wearing under his shorts doesn't look like his pants in Ruby and Sapphire, which were baggier and not a solid color. --[[User:Evice|Evice]] 23:15, 15 June 2009 (UTC)

== Could i add this? ==

One of his pictures features him with a green poké ball. And the same with eusine. Is that good trivia to add.--[[User:Pokéboy93|Pokéboy93]] 15:19, 11 July 2009 (UTC)

== Gold's Gen II sprites ==

I started up Crystal and got into a battle with [[Carrie]] at the Trainer House and Gold's Gold and Silver sprite is used for her (her page mentions using Gold's sprite), despite Gold's own Trainer Card displaying that game's new sprite (shown in the sprites section). Can this usage be mentioned? The only problem is that I haven't been able to confirm how it's used for other Trainer House opponents (such as [[Cal]]) as well as during link battles. Does anyone know what the case is with those? --[[User:Evice|Evice]] 23:57, 19 July 2009 (UTC)
:Cal uses character's sprite because he's a placeholder for a proper player (who the player connects, when he uses IR-DA capabilities of GBC). This is a simply technical limitation. If Cal's gonna be featured in HGSS, then he'll probably have his own sprite (he had his own design in Stadium 2, anyways). --[[User:Maxim|Maxim]] 06:17, 20 July 2009 (UTC)
::I wasn't referring to how they use Gold's sprite, I'm talking about how in Crystal they don't use [[a:File:Gold_crystal.png|his sprite from that game]], instead using [[a:File:Gold.gif|his sprite from Gold and Silver]]. I should have made that more clear. --[[User:Evice|Evice]] 14:45, 20 July 2009 (UTC)
:::That's something to mention in Cal's article, I think. --[[User:Maxim|Maxim]] 14:48, 20 July 2009 (UTC)
::::[[Cal (game)|Done.]] --[[User:Evice|Evice]] 02:13, 27 July 2009 (UTC)

== Defaults in HGSS ==

Well, Festa's video shows him having a default name of Hiroki and another as Soul, while Soul gets Miki and Heart. Now, given that's not a guarantee of their names. '''[[User:TTEchidna|''TTE'']][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]]''' 19:53, 23 July 2009 (UTC)
:Keep in mind that those Festa videos are using SS and not HG, hence the male character being Soul and the female being Heart, etc.—[[User:Urutapu|Ｌｏｖｅはドコ？]] ([[User talk:Urutapu|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Urutapu|contribs]]) 07:11, 24 July 2009 (UTC)
::Personally, I think we should wait to see what their names are when they're NPCs (such as how the names for Brendan, May, Dawn, and Lucas come from the names used as NPCs). Unless of course Game Freak doesn't give them set names like previous opposite-gender characters (I guess there isn't anything stopping Game Freak from doing that). --[[User:Evice|Evice]] 17:48, 19 August 2009 (UTC)

== Pointless trivia I noticed ==

Gold appears to be the only player character (at least the only male player character) to wear his headgear (in this case, a baseball cap) backward. (I'm only counting game characters, since [[Red (Special)|Red's Pokémon Adventures counterpart]] wears his hat like this in the chapters based on Generation I.) Can this be added? --[[User:Evice|Evice]] 17:55, 19 August 2009 (UTC)

== In the Trivia section... ==

"All female player characters either wear a skirt (Leaf and Dawn) or cycling shorts (Kris, May, and Soul)."
:What the crap is that supposed to mean?--'''Dark''' [[Mask of Ice|'''ICE''']] (User:Cold)([[user:Cold|page]], [[User talk:Cold|talk]]) 21:02, 30 August 2009 (UTC)
::It does not sound that important to me.--'''[[User:Midnight Blue|Midnight]] [[User talk:Midnight Blue|''Blue'']]''' 21:07, 30 August 2009 (UTC)
::: {{tt|It's not.|Or are you referring to my comment?}} First it's talking about guys, then it's talking about girls. (Kinda like most of the boys at my school.) Could an admin please take it off?--'''Dark''' [[Mask of Ice|'''ICE''']] (User:Cold)([[user:Cold|page]], [[User talk:Cold|talk]]) 21:16, 30 August 2009 (UTC)
::::I was talking about why is that in there. That trivia would make more sense if there were like 10-20 girls in the games. And yes why is/was it on a boy's page?--'''[[User:Midnight Blue|Midnight]] [[User talk:Midnight Blue|''Blue'']]''' 00:40, 31 August 2009 (UTC)

== B/c this is protected ==

Can someone put this trivia in.
"Gold is the only male player not to have a "common" name." Red is a name but not as common as Brenden and Lucas.--'''[[User:Midnight Blue|Midnight]] [[User talk:Midnight Blue|''Blue'']]''' 23:25, 2 September 2009 (UTC)

== Hibiki? ==

Since the girl was confirmed to be Kotone, why isn't Gold's article moved to Hibiki. It was shown on the PokeGear screen referring to him as such and doesn't seem likely the opposite gender character is nameable.

And the girl is Kotone, not Hibiki. {{unsigned|Raine}}
:It could of been one of the default names or the person who was playing the game named it. Therefore, Hibiki is not his real name just wait for the games to come out. --[[User:CoolPikachu!|'''☆Cool''']][[User talk:CoolPikachu!|'''ピカチ''']][[Special:Contributions/CoolPikachu!|'''ュウ!''']] 00:55, 6 September 2009 (UTC)
Ah, but the girl was the player during the time. (When Shoko was playing HG.)

It wasn't referring to the player character since it was on the Phone List.--[[User:Raine|Raine]] 00:59, 6 September 2009 (UTC)
:The player's mom refers to a friend named Hibiki while playing as the girl, so it must indeed be his NPC name. See here: [http://i52.photobucket.com/albums/g29/vs_seeker/mom.jpg]. This also matches Kotone's name (which means "koto sound" [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Koto_(musical_instrument)]), since it means echo, sound, reverberation, noise. [[User:Capsule Computer|Capsule Computer]] 08:36, 9 September 2009 (UTC)
So... since Hibiki has been confirmed to be his official name, shouldn't the page be renamed Hibiki (game), and "Gold (game)" can redirect here? [[User:FireMeowth|FireMeowth]] 14:53, 9 September 2009 (UTC)
::If anything, the page should be split with all Gen II info remaining here, and all Gen IV info on a new page. '''[[User:TheChrisD|TheChrisD]]''' [[User_talk:TheChrisD|Rants]]•[[Special:Contributions/TheChrisD|Edits]] 15:03, 9 September 2009 (UTC)
:::Well, new information generally replaces old information, and he was never formally called ''Gold'' in the [[Generation II]] games, so... I think we whould move this to ''Hibiki (game)''. It may be stated in the page that he used to be known as Gold before [[Generation IV]]. - [[User:D-Wheel|D-Wheel]] 17:59, 9 September 2009 (UTC)
::::We didn't rename Blue's article to Green when FRLG were released. So should we change this article's name? - [[User:Crystal Master|Crystal Master]] 21:10, 9 September 2009 (UTC)
:::::Cause people hate Kotone's name. That's the only reason it is an issue. They figure since she can't be Soul, Gold should be Hibiki. --[[Tracey Sketchit|'''ケンジ''']][[User talk:Kenji-girl|'''の''']][[User:Kenji-girl|'''ガール''']] 21:13, 9 September 2009 (UTC)
::::::I thought that it was because Blue's NPC Appearance trumps his Rival Appearance, since the player can still name him in FRLG. If he's "Green" in HGSS (outside Japan, anyway), then I think he should be moved to Green. Thus, I think Gold should be moved to Hibiki... once we get his English Name, anyway.--[[User:Purimpopoie|Purimpopoie]] 21:46, 9 September 2009 (UTC)
:::::::It's not just because of that, Kenji-girl. I liked Kotone's actual name better than Soul. We didn't rename Blue because that's the only way he was formally referred to in the games. Even with FRLG released, he was never called Green. Hibiki was never formally called Gold in the games, and now '''he's being clearly called Hibiki'''. So, I think that's it. - [[User:D-Wheel|D-Wheel]] 22:08, 9 September 2009 (UTC)
::::::::So you're saying that the GS protagonist had no name until Game Freak created the remakes? I find that pretty bizarre, considering that the Crystal girl HAD a name. - [[User:Crystal Master|Crystal Master]] 22:41, 9 September 2009 (UTC)
:::::::::: He had no '''in-game''' name. Now it was confirmed to be Hibiki, so... - [[User:D-Wheel|D-Wheel]] 22:52, 9 September 2009 (UTC)
:::::::::::But he must have had a official name, seeing how Kris had one - [[User:Crystal Master|Crystal Master]] 23:05, 9 September 2009 (UTC)
::::::::::::"Kris" does not have an official in-game name. The only official names she's got are are the ones from the anime and manga. Remember - official names =/= default names. [[User:FireMeowth|FireMeowth]] 10:06, 10 September 2009 (UTC)
:::::::::::::Wrong. The back of the Pokémon Crystal box calls her "Kris". Specifically, it says "New female trainer Kris faces the Unown" [http://image.com.com/gamespot/images/bigboxshots/7/375087_50686_back.jpg]. - [[User:Crystal Master|Crystal Master]] 19:27, 10 September 2009 (UTC)
::::::::: "while in HeartGold and SoulSilver his female counterpart is Kotone. If one is to choose play as Kotone, Gold will still appear as an NPC, with the name Hibiki." Yes? No? [[User:M190049|'''''~m190049''''']][[User talk:M190049|'''''~talk''''']] 22:49, 9 September 2009 (UTC)
:::::::::: While I do believe his name is Hibiki, I'm not sure it should be moved quite yet, not until the English Version is released, because as unlikely as it could be, what if the PCI decides to name Hibiki, Gold? We would've changed his name basically just because his Japanese name is Hibiki. I think a note or something would be best at this time. --[[User:Dman dustin|Dman dustin]] 17:20, 10 September 2009 (UTC)
:::::::::::Hey, guys. Here's a solution. We have a perfectly fine English name for the guy. Why move it to a Japanese name that's gonna get changed anyway in six months? Like with {{ga|Blue}}, we should ''wait for the English release'', and then wait until the teams get ripped and see what the "true name" is of this guy. '''[[User:TTEchidna|''TTE'']][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]]''' 22:28, 11 September 2009 (UTC)
::::::::::::Shouldn't we at least give his Japanese name as Hibiki? It still gives his Japanese name as Gold and never mentions the name Hibiki. --[[User:Evice|Evice]] 19:10, 12 September 2009 (UTC)
:::::::::::::We should. And we should move the page. That "we'll have to move his page someday anyway" argument is stupid. Such things happen. And what's wrong? Is this so much of a deal to change the links. Having him under "Gold" is stupid and unreasonable now. As of now, this name is just a mere fanname. Same goes for {{ga|Pearl}}. "It's too late" argument isn't really right. It's not the policy that we should go by. Pearl's name is Barry and Gold's (Japanese) name is Hibiki. Bear with it. --[[User:Maxim|Maxim]] 11:50, 13 September 2009 (UTC)
::::::::::::::apparently, hibiki also means echo, sound, or noise [[User:Vik0z0z|vik0z0z]] 19:17, 13 September 2009 (UTC)
::::::::::::::Maxim: If Gold is just a "fanname" like you say, then what was this guy's real name during the 2nd gen? Again, I don't buy that he was a nameless character, seeing how his original female counterpart, the Crystal girl, had a official name [http://image.com.com/gamespot/images/bigboxshots/7/375087_50686_back.jpg]. And for that matter, is the name we use for the GSC rival, Silver, a "fanname", too? - [[User:Crystal Master|Crystal Master]] 01:15, 14 September 2009 (UTC)
:::::::::::::::Silver wasn't a fanname. If you leave the name blank in Crystal his name is Silver. [[User:Turtwig A|Turt]][[wig]] [[Turtwig (Pokémon)|A]] '''''[[Special:Contributions/Turtwig_A|Contributions]]''''' '''''[[User talk:Turtwig A|Talk]]''''' 01:18, 14 September 2009 (UTC)
::::::::::::::::So basically, we're assuming that:
::::::::::::::::The RGBY protagonist is named after the "first" version of the generation he debuted on, Red.
::::::::::::::::The RGBY rival is named after the "second" version of the generation he debuted on, Green/Blue.
::::::::::::::::The GSC rival is named after the "second" version of the generation he debuted on, Silver.
::::::::::::::::Going from that, isn't it safe to assume that Gold was the GSC boy's original official name (not just a fan name), and the remakes simply changed it to Hibiki because, as a set name ala Brendan/May/Lucas/Dawn, it would look out of place in comparison with the new girl's name (saying "Gold and Kotone" sounds much more weird than saying "Hibiki and Kotone")? Also, more evidence of the GSC boy's original name being Gold is that Red, Blue/Green, Silver and Kris' names appear in the games at top of the list of selectable player names. Red's name was was the top one in Pokémon Red, Blue/Green's was in Pokémon Blue/Green, Silver's was in Pokémon Silver, and Kris' was in Pokémon Crystal (as the first available name for the female trainer). So following the pattern used by every other Gen I/II player character and rival, the GSC boy's name should be the one that is at the top of the list of selectable names in Pokémon Gold, Gold (duh). - [[User:Crystal Master|Crystal Master]] 01:38, 14 September 2009 (UTC)

== Gold is a secondary character if Kotone is chosen as the player character. ==

Gold is a secondary character if Kotone is chosen as the player character. His role seems to be identical to Kotone if Gold is chosen as the player character. His Pokemon is a Marill. Could someone please add this important tidbit to the article? Thanks. [[User:CubeShapedWatermelon|CubeShapedWatermelon]] 21:49, 14 September 2009 (UTC)

Hall of Origin

|image=Salle_Originelle.png
|image_size=256
|type=space
|location_name=Hall of Origin
|japanese_name=はじまりのま
|translated_name=Hall of Origin
|location= [[Spear Pillar]]
|region=Sinnoh
|generation={{gen|IV}}
}}

The '''Hall of Origin''' (Japanese: '''はじまりのま''' ''{{wp|Ma (negative space)|Hall}} of Origin'') is where the [[legendary Pokémon]] {{p|Arceus}} resides.

It is an event-only area, accessible only to players who have obtained the [[Azure Flute]], located above [[Spear Pillar]]. When the player has the Azure Flute and returns to Spear Pillar after defeating the [[Elite Four]] (as the event will not be possible until after [[Team Galactic]] has been vanquished and {{p|Dialga}}, {{p|Palkia}}, or {{p|Giratina}} has been captured or defeated or fled from), the flute will make a sound. After blowing into the flute, a staircase will appear leading up, out of sight.

Following the staircase up leads to a glasslike platform, high above Spear Pillar, where Arceus awaits the player's challenge at level 80, the second highest level any legitimate wild Pokémon can be found at.

When the player accesses the Hall of Origin by blowing into the Azure Flute, they are actually no longer on Spear Pillar, rather in a different location; the camera angle changes completely, as does the name of the location (evidenced on the captured Arceus's status screen and in the summary of the player's status on the save screen). Despite this, it is inaccessible by the [[Surf glitch]] and [[tweaking]], partly because of the inability to go [[the Underground|underground]] here.

Like Spear Pillar, it is technically outside of a mountain, so the [[Escape Rope]] cannot be used to teleport the player back to the entrance of [[Mt. Coronet]]. Also like Spear Pillar, it is within range of Mt. Coronet's strong magnetic field, and so {{p|Magneton}} and {{p|Nosepass}} will both evolve here if leveled up.

==Trivia==
*The Hall of Origin background music is a remix of the music from the title screen of {{2v2|Diamond|Pearl}}.
*Once {{p|Arceus}} is captured, the Azure Flute will no longer open the staircase to the Hall of Origin. However, if Arceus was defeated, the Azure Flute will be able to open the Hall of Origin.

'''Corphish''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ヘイガニ''' ''Heigani'') is a {{type2|Water}} Pokémon.

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

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Corphish are crustacean Pokémon with a red shell. They possess four pairs of limbs in total: two claws and three pairs of legs used for walking about.
====Gender differences====
None.

====Special abilities====
Corphish has the ability to live in polluted water, where it will quickly reproduce. Its powerful pincers allow it to use the moves {{m|ViceGrip}} and {{m|Crunch}}, and ultimately, the one-hit-knockout move {{m|Guillotine}}.

===Behavior===
Corphish try to compensate for their small size by being stronger than any other Pokémon on their territory. If a new Pokémon enters its territory, the resident Corphish will immediately challenge it to battle.

===Habitat===
[[Image:Watersedge.gif|right|frame|[[List of Pokémon by habitat#Water's-edge Pokémon|Water's-edge Pokémon]]]]
Corphish can live in any body of water that can support them.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

Corphish are willing to eat anything that is edible.

==In the anime==
[[Image:Ash's Corphish.jpg|left|thumb|{{AP|Corphish}} in the anime]]
Corphish first appeared in ''[[AG021|Which Wurmple's Which?]]''. {{Ash}} caught in on his fishing line and then it attacked him and {{ashfr|his friends}}.

Another Corphish appeared in ''[[AG023|Gone Corphishin']]''. Ash battled and captured this Ruffian Pokémon at the end of the episode. [[Ash's Corphish]] serves as the main comedic relief member of Ash's [[party|team]] and the only Pokémon that Ash captured in [[Hoenn]] that hasn't evolved, save for his {{AP|Torkoal}} (which doesn't have an evolved form).

Corphish appeared in the ''[[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time & Darkness]]''. He was one of the two Pokémon (the other being {{OBP|Chatot|Mystery Dungeon 2 character}}) who kicked Team Razor Wind out of their guild.

A Corphish also appeared in ''[[DP112|Cheers on Castaways Isle!]]''.

==Trivia==
*Corphish is the only Pokémon to date with a [[catch rate]] of 205.
*Corphish's Generation IV sprite is very similar to its Generation III sprite. The only difference is that only one of its claws is being held up in its Generation IV sprite, while both of them are being held up in its Generation III sprite.
*Corphish can be found in the Hoenn region, but it says in its Pokédex entries that it came from another region overseas. This would make it the first exotic species in the Pokémon world.
**Assuming that most regions of the [[Pokémon nation]] are based on areas in Japan, it can be inferred that Corphish is originally from the United States, which is the same country the [[Kanto]] Gym Leader [[Lt. Surge]] is from.
*Corphish only has eight limbs, including claws, whereas both crayfish and lobsters have ten limbs.

===Origin===
Based on the Pokémon Ruby Pokédex entry, Corphish is probably based on the {{wp|Red Swamp Crayfish}}. Native to North America, this species was introduced in Japan as food for bullfrogs. Today, these crayfish are popular pets in Japan.[http://animaldiversity.ummz.umich.edu/site/accounts/information/Procambarus_clarkii.html]

====Name origin====
Corphish's name is possibly a pun on ''{{wp|crayfish}}''.

Alternatively, it could be a homonymic play on the arcane Newfoundland fishing term ''corfish''; the meaning of "corfish" is not clear. According to "West to Pemaquid,"[http://members.skyweb.net/~channy/Westto.html], corfish were a "kind of dried fish," specifically, "a green variety." It goes on to say that the other kind of dried fish was called "dunfish," which we can ascertain from the 1913 Webster means "''codfish cured in a particular manner, so as to be of a superior quality.''" We can assume from this that "corfish" is thus probably a type of preserved, dried codfish, and, according to ''West to Pemaquid'', lower quality than dunfish (''corfish ... was suitable for sale ... as slave food ...''). "Colony of Avalon,"[http://www.heritage.nf.ca/avalon/history/documents/letter_48.html] further asserts corfish to mean "wet-cured fish" (to ''cure'' being to preserve using salts or smoke). ''Corfish'' is mostly obsolete, but is still sometimes used, and can especially be found in old English; for example, see page 279 of ''Captain John Smith: A Select Edition of His Writings'' or ''New England Before the Pilgrim Fathers Landed''[http://www.gutenberg.org/files/16038/16038-h/16038-h.htm]: "Of dry fish we made about 40000. of Cor fish about 7000," and "With these Furres, the Traine, and Corfish I returned for England in the Bark ..." (1614). The ''Dictionary of Newfoundland English'' defines "corfish," but it is not widely available.

Old English also used the forms "cor fish" and "cor-fish." Other references to corfish in archaic documents, particularly those authored by Captain John Smith, which provides clues to its meaning are as follows:
*"''where they take nothing but small Cod, where of the greatest they make Cor-fish, and the rest is hard dried, which we call Poore-John, would amaze a man with wonder.''[http://webroots.org/library/usahist/ghov2-01.html]
*:"''Newfoundland doth yearly freight near eight hundred sail of ships with a silly, lean, skinny poor-john, and cor fish ...''"[http://www.heritage.nf.ca/avalon/history/documents/letter_62.html]

Its Japanese name is based on 平家蟹 ''heikegani'', {{wp|Heike crab}}.

There is no catch rate for [[Slugma]]. But Stark Mnt. is the listed catch location on the [[slugma]] page --[[User:Kuja|Kuja]] 16:36, 2 September 2007 (UTC)

== Meowth ==

I added Meowth to the catch list, here is some additonal info.
Large patch of grass to the right of the "Stark Mountain | Eruption Zone!" sign. Just north of route 227.
Daytime time frame (I have not checked at other times yet)
Very large encounter percentage, around 60%.
:Hate to break it to you, but I really don't think you can catch Meowth on Stark Mountain. --'''[[User:Gabbie|gabbie]]''' | '''[[User_talk:Gabbie|talk]]''' 16:30, 11 August 2008 (UTC)

:::Gabbie you definitely didn't approach this properly by simply deleting my changes without checking, but here's what I found. I shut down the DS and restarted, no more Meowths. Very odd glitch! Thanks for the quick help- [[User:Camelspiders|Camelspiders]] 17:15, 11 August 2008 (UTC)

I think Meowth only appears in the Trophy Garden, not Stark Mountain...{{unsigned|Zapdos482|11:08, 18 December 2008}}

It might be interesting to point out that '''Dragon Tamer Drake''' is a Dragon-type trainer with the name of Drake (compare to Hoeen Elite Four Drake). [[User:Kirbysaur|Kirbysaur]] 16:50, 4 January 2009 (UTC)

== Guide Mistake ==
I'm presuming the picture in this article came from the offical game guide, and I would like to say where it says you get an escape rope, you get a burn heal. I was about to get out using this, and then it said I had got a burn heal. [[user:Simpsonsdude13| SD13 Simpsondude13>''']][[user talk:Simpsonsdude13|SD13 Talk]] 19:44, 23 February 2009 (UTC)

Apparently there are no Pokemon in Platinum besides Heatran. How odd. [[User:CubeShapedWatermelon|CubeShapedWatermelon]] 00:02, 25 July 2009 (UTC)
:Yeah, when I played Platinum, I found no Pokémon so I didn't put any in. Obviously this page isn't complete. Instead of whining about it, go find the information and put it in. It is out there, on the internet somewhere. —'''darklord[[User talk:The dark lord trombonator|trom]]''' 21:18, 26 July 2009 (UTC)
::"Instead of whining about it.." It's not whining, it's pointing out a problem, okay? Also, there are Pokemon in Platinum, both in the cave and in the grassy patch outside...

'''Swellow''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''オオスバメ''' ''Ohsubame'') is a dual-type {{2t|Normal|Flying}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolve]]s from {{p|Taillow}} starting at [[level]] 22.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Swellow are bigger then their un-evolved form {{p|Taillow}}. They are a brilliant blue with constrasting red breastfeathers and face. They also have sharply shaped wings and tailfeathers that are specifically designed for speed. Swellow also possess red feet that are armed with talons.

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

====Special abilities====
Swellow are among the fastest of bird Pokémon, and are very acrobatic in the air. They may also display a suprising amount of vigor and can be quite resiliant.

===Behavior===
Much like Taillow, Swellow are very stubborn Pokémon and can show a lot of bravery in battle. They also take great pride in their glossy plumage, and often preen the feathers of other Swellow.

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

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

Swellow's diet has expanded and are now able to take on larger prey, although they still accept fruit and berries such as the [[Charti Berry]]. It searches for prey from high above and when it spots one it dives steeply at incredible speed and never misses its target.

==In the anime==
[[image:Ash_Swellow.jpg|right|thumb|[[Ash's Swellow]]]]Swellow first appeared in ''[[AG046|Candid Camerupt]]''. Vito of the [[Winstrate Family]] used it to secretly protect his family.

Ash's Taillow evolved into {{AP|Swellow}} in ''[[AG080|That's Just Swellow]]'' during the final round of the [[PokéRinger]] tournament. Unlike [[Ash's Pidgeot|Pidgeotto]] and {{AP|Noctowl}}, Swellow was a main competitor on Ash's [[party|team]].

[[Winona]]'s {{shiny2}} {{TP|Winona|Swellow}} debuted in ''[[AG085|Sky High Gym Battle]]''. {{Ash}} battled against it during the [[Gym]] {{pkmn|battle}}.

A Swellow appeared in [[DP118]] as one of the participants of [[PokéRinger]] competition.

Root Fossil

2009-07-24T05:13:49Z

CubeShapedWatermelon:

The '''Claw Fossil''' (Japanese: '''ツメのカセキ''' ''Claw Fossil'') and '''Root Fossil''' ('''ねっこのカセキ''' ''Root Fossil'') are [[Fossil|fossils]] from the [[Generation III]] games. They are found in [[Hoenn]]'s [[Desert]] on [[Route 111]]. The fossils can be given to a scientist at [[Devon Corporation]], who will revive the Claw Fossil into an {{p|Anorith}} or a Root Fossil into a {{p|Lileep}}. Both fossils are [[key item]]s.

[[Image:Bag Claw Fossil Sprite.png‎|frame]]
[[Image:Bag Root Fossil Sprite.png‎|frame]]

In {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}, there is only a chance to acquire one of the fossils, as when the chosen one is picked, the other fossil will sink into the sand forever. In {{game|Emerald}}, one can be selected in [[Mirage Tower]], and after defeating the [[Elite Four]], the other one can be found deep in the [[Desert Underpass]].

As is the case with the [[Dome and Helix Fossils]], Claw Fossils and Root Fossils are available in [[Sinnoh]]'s [[The Underground|Underground]]. Claw Fossils are more common in {{game|Diamond}} while Root Fossils are more common in {{game|Pearl}}. These fossils can be revived at the [[Mining Museum]]. Unlike the fossils in Generation III, these fossils are not [[Key Items]].

'''Garchomp''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese:]] '''ガブリアス''' ''Gablias'') is a dual-type {{2t|Dragon|Ground}} [[pseudo-legendary]] Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Gabite}} starting at [[level]] 48. It is the final form of {{p|Gible}}.

==Biology==

===Physiology===
Garchomp are dark blue, with a red underbelly that covers from the middle of its abdomen, to its jaws, and then to the undersides of its arms. Underneath the red is a gold diamond shape as well a gold cross on its {{wp|snout}}; which gives Garchomp a close resemblance to {{p|Sharpedo}}. Garchomp have appendages that resemble {{wp|jet}}s, {{wp|plane}}s and {{wp|hammerhead shark}}s; its four fins, one on each arm, one dorsal fin and another on its tail that resembles a {{wp|shark}} {{wp|tailfin}}; {{wp|horn}}s that resemble jet/plane engines rest on its head, resembling a hammerhead. It has spikes on its hind limbs and arms as well as sharper claws than its [[Gabite (Pokémon)|previous evolution]]. Its eyes have black {{wp|sclera}}s and {{wp|gold (color)|gold}} colored {{wp|iris}}. Its {{wp|pupil}}s have shrunk.

====Gender differences====
A [[male]] has a cut on his dorsal fin, while the [[female]] does not. This may signify that male Garchomp fight more, leaving scars.

====Special abilities====
Though Garchomp is not able to learn the move {{M|Fly}}, and cannot possess {{A|Levitate}} it can still fly at an incredible speed to catch its prey. This is evident in both the anime and Pokédex entries.
[[Image:Garchompgliding.jpg|thumb|left|230px|Garchomp "flying"]]
===Behavior===
Garchomp has a habit of digging up gems and hoarding them in its nest, which may be a reference to the fictional dragon {{wp|Smaug}}. It is also known to be very tempermental and violent.

===Habitat===
Judging from its classification, it likely lives in warm caves much like its pre-evolution, {{p|Gible}}.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

It appears to be a carnivore, but it is sometimes found in possession of the [[Haban Berry]].

==In the anime==
[[Image:Cynthia's Garchomp.jpg|thumb|210px|{{TP|Cynthia|Garchomp}} in the anime]]
[[Cynthia]]'s {{TP|Cynthia|Garchomp}} made its debut appearance in ''[[DP040|Top-Down Training]]''. It appeared again in ''[[DP096|Losing Its Lustrous]]'' and ''[[DP097|Double Team Turnover!]]''.

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

==Trivia==
* Garchomp has the second highest base stat average of all non-legendary Pokémon, the first being Slaking. However, it is tied with the four other [[Pseudo-legendary|pseudo-legendary evolutions]]. Garchomp is also tied with many other legendaries for base stat average, including {{p|Mew}}, {{p|Celebi}}, {{p|Deoxys}}, {{p|Latios}} and {{p|Latias}}.
* Though its Pokédex entries make note of its astounding flying abilities, Garchomp cannot learn {{m|Fly}}. Similarly, though known as the Mach Pokémon, it cannot learn {{m|Mach Punch}} or any other variation of {{m|Quick Attack}}, including Quick Attack itself, in general.
* Of the [[pseudo-legendary]] Pokémon, Garchomp has the lowest {{stat|Attack}} stat. Because of this, it is also the only pseudo-legendary Pokémon whose Attack stat cannot exceed 400 at [[level]] 100, with a maximum of "only" 394.
** It is also the fastest among the pseudo-legendary Pokémon, with a maximum {{stat|Speed}} of 333.
** It also has the highest HP among the pseudo-legendary Pokémon, with a maximum {{stat|HP}} of 420.
===Origin===
Appearance-wise, Garchomp seems like a cross between an {{wp|European dragon}} and a {{wp|hammerhead shark}}. It may have the genuine appearance of a land shark. It also seems to have the appearence of a {{wp|jet}}.
====Name origin====
Its English name clearly comes from ''chomp''. The ''gar-'' in its name may come from {{wp|garpike}}, a species of fish similar to Garchomp. The Japanese name may come from がぶがぶ ''gabugabu'', the sound of gobbling or gulping down, がぶりと ''gaburito'', bite or chew, or がぶりと噛み付く ''gaburitokamitsuku'', sink one's teeth into, and アース ''āsu'',

==In other languages==
*[[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Knakrack - From ''knacken'' (to crack) and ''Racker'' (rascal).
*[[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Carchacrok - From ''{{wp|Carcharodon}}'', scientific name of sharks, and ''croquer'' (to bite).
*[[List of Korean Pokémon names|Korean]]: 한카리아스 ''Hankariaseu''

'''Salamence''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ボーマンダ''' ''Bohmander'') is a dual-type {{2t|Dragon|Flying}} [[pseudo-legendary]] Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Shelgon}} starting at [[level]] 50. It is the final form of {{p|Bagon}}.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Salamence are fully formed quadrupedal dragons, complete with newly grown wings.

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

====Special abilities====

Salamence have long, heavy tails which can catapult enemies that enter its territory yards into the air at an instant. Its extremely rough and sturdy body is quite tough and hard to penetrate, especially its almost metallic, red, blade-like wings. Salamence have long necks which allow them to take in deep breaths to store and charge very intense {{t|Dragon}} and {{t|Fire}} attacks.

===Behavior===
Salamence is an extremely vicious Pokémon. It is also arrogant about its victories by spouting intense flames into the air. This behavior may be explained due to the fact that it faced many hardships to get its wings to grow, and therefore, it is very proud of its achievement.

===Habitat===
[[Image:Roughterrain.gif|right|frame|[[List of Pokémon by habitat#Rough-terrain Pokémon|Rough-terrain Pokémon]]]]
Salamence supposedly lives atop tall mountains.

==In the anime==
[[Image:Salamence anime.png|thumb|right|Salamence in the anime|210px]]
Salamence was first seen in the 6th [[Pokémon movie]] ''[[Jirachi: Wish Maker]]''. Butler used it against a wild {{p|Flygon}} that was helping to free {{an|Jirachi}} from him.

{{an|Silver}} used his Salamence to battle {{p|Moltres}} in ''[[H018|The Search for the Legend]]''.

{{EF|Drake}} of the [[Elite Four]] used a Salamence in ''[[AG101|Vanity Affair]]''.

[[Team Rocket]] found a Salamence in some underground ruins when they were searching for {{p|Ho-Oh}} in ''[[AG178|Battling the Enemy Within]]''.

A {{TP|J|Salamence}} belonging to [[J]] first appeared in ''[[DP020|Mutiny in the Bounty]]''.

==In the manga==
When {{special|Ruby}} was young, he {{pkmn|battle}}d a Salamence that attacked him and {{special|Sapphire}}. After being defeated by Ruby, the Salamence went on a rampage and destroyed a lab, freeing {{p|Rayquaza}}, which was in captivity at that time, in the process. This resulted in [[Norman]] being banned from the Gym Leader test.

==Trivia==
* Salamence is the only {{type2|Dragon}} Pokémon to have {{a|Intimidate}} as its ability.
* Salamence has the second highest [[base stat]] average of all non-legendary Pokémon, the first being {{p|Slaking}}. However, it is tied with the four other [[pseudo-legendary|powerhouse evolutions]]. Salamence is also tied with many other legendaries for base stat average, including {{p|Mew}}, {{p|Celebi}}, {{p|Deoxys}}, {{p|Latios}}, and {{p|Latias}}.
* Salamence shares the same [[species]] name with {{p|Horsea}}, {{p|Dratini}}, and their evolutions. They are all known as Dragon Pokémon.
* Salamence is one of only four Pokémon that can learn a [[HM]] move by leveling up in the same generation as it is a [[HM]].
* Salamence is one of the rare cases of a stat dropping by evolution, as {{p|Shelgon}}'s base {{stat|Defense}} stat of 100 drops to 80.
* Salamence is actually lighter than {{p|Shelgon}}, with 226.2 lbs, while Shelgon weighs 243.6 lbs.
* While Salamence cannot learn {{m|Iron Defense}} itself, it can be taught it as a Shelgon before [[evolution|evolving]]. It shares this trait with {{P|Beedrill}}, {{p|Butterfree}}, {{p|Dustox}}, {{p|Beautifly}}, {{p|Huntail}} and {{p|Gorebyss}}.
===Origin===
Salamence appears to be based on {{wp|European dragon}}s. It also has a similar color scheme to {{wp|Devilman}}, a Japanese manga character. Devilman's wings are also the same shape as Salamence's.
====Name origin====
Its name may be a combination of ''{{wp|salamander}}'' and ''menace'' or ''vengeance''. Its Japanese name is based on 暴行 ''bōkō'', assault, outrage, or violent act, and ''salamander''.

==In other languages==
*[[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Brutalanda
*[[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Drattak - From ''dragon'' and ''attak'' (attack).

==Trivia==
*Chinchou and {{p|Lanturn}} are the only {{type|Electric}}s whose primary type is not Electric.
*Although Chinchou is shown to have the ability to walk on land in the {{pkmn|anime}}, in the games it may only be caught in water.
*The vowel sounds in Chinchou's English name are reverse of the vowels in its Japanese name.

===Origin===
It is based on an {{wp|angler fish}}, its species name.

====Name origin====
Chinchou's name is a play on 提灯 ''chōchin'', {{wp|lantern}}. Its Japanese name is also a corruption of ''chōchin''. Also, the チョウチンアンコウ ''chouchin-anko'' is the name of the ''footballfish'', a deep-sea fish similar to {{p|Lanturn}}.

'''Shuckle''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ツボツボ''' ''Tsubotsubo'') is a dual-type {{2t|Bug|Rock}} Pokémon.

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

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Being a mold Pokémon, Shuckle is encased in a very hard red shell that has many holes in it. Its body inside the shell is yellow and presumably very soft. Shuckle's limbs appear limp till in use and are completely able.

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

====Special abilities====
The player could attach an Oran Berry ([[Berry#Generation II Berries|Berry]] in [[Generation II]]) to Shuckle. Over time, the Berry would become Berry Juice. If left attached to Shuckle even longer, it would become a [[Rare Candy]]. Its low attacking power is made up with Shuckle's extremely high defenses.

===Behavior===
Rather then actively hunting and foraging for food like most other [[Pokémon]], it tends to collect berries and store them in its shell. The berries inside are liquefied and fermented by the Shuckle's digestive juices, which are then consumed by the Shuckle. These juices are also used to dissolve rocks for the Shuckle to hide under.

===Habitat===
Shuckle tend to hide under rocks and fallen logs for long periods of time.
[[Image:Mountain.gif|right|frame|[[List of Pokémon by habitat#Mountain Pokémon|Mountain Pokémon]]]]

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

This Pokémon's main diet consists of berries which it collects and stores in it's shell.

==In the anime==
[[Image:JessieWithShinyShuckle.png|thumb|right|200px|Jessie with a [[alternate coloration|purple]] Shuckle]]

A Shuckle was one of the residents of Millennium Town in ''[[PK07|Pikachu & Pichu]]''.

In ''[[EP170|A Better Pill to Swallow]]'', [[Old Man Shuckle|an old man]] was using the Berry Juice that Shuckle makes to create medicine. One of the Shuckle that he befriended was a [[alternate coloration|purple]] Shuckle whose Berry Juice attracted Pokémon to anyone who drank it. Because of this, [[Team Rocket]] made it their mission to steal it.

[[Butch]]'s Shuckle debuted in ''[[DP065|Sleight of Sand!]]''.

A Shuckle also appeared in [[DP124]].

==Trivia==
* Shuckle has the highest Defense and Special Defense stats of any Pokémon, with a max of 614 in them with beneficial [[nature]]s (which are also the highest non-HP stats in existence).
** After using {{m|Power Trick}}, Shuckle has the highest Attack of any Pokémon with a max of 614 in it with beneficial [[nature]]s (To compare, {{p|Deoxys}}'s Attack form's maximum Attack stat is "only" 504.)
* Shuckle couldn't learn any {{type2|Bug}} moves before {{game|Platinum}}, despite having Bug as its primary type.
* Shuckle, along with {{p|Munchlax}}, in terms of base stats, is the slowest non-glitched Pokémon of all.
* Shuckle, along with {{p|Feebas}}, has the lowest Special Attack of all Pokémon.
* Despite Shuckle being described as having limp, weak muscles, it is able to learn {{m|Strength}} and {{m|Rock Smash}} as [[HM]]s.
*In [[Generation II]] and the anime, Shuckle's shiny form is purple; however, in [[Generation IV]] and [[Generation III]], it is blue.
* Although the circumstances would be nearly impossible, a [[level]] 100 Shuckle can potentially deal the most damage in one single attack through the use of numerous stat boosters, by using {{m|Helping Hand}}, {{DL|In-battle effect item|Metronome}} held item, {{m|Power Trick}}, a {{m|Skill Swap}} to {{a|Huge Power}} or {{a|Pure Power}}, and the {{m|Defense Curl}}/{{m|Rollout}} combo. On the 5th impact of Rollout, if used against a level 1 {{p|Ledyba}} or {{p|Yanma}} that have been hit with negative {{stat|Defense}} modifiers (such as {{m|Screech}}), it can deal over 315,000,000 damage.

===Origin===
Shuckle seems to be based on an {{wp|endolith}}, an organism that lives inside porous rocks or animal shells. Fungi, also known as mold, are common endoliths. This explains why Shuckle is the mold Pokémon.

It may also be based on {{wp|scale insect}}s – small, shelled parasites that produce a sweet fluid called {{wp|honeydew (secretion)|honeydew}} that attracts other insects.

It also appears that Shuckle could also be a mixture of several different mollusk in one as a land form. Shuckle seem to have most the major qualities of mollusks. Examples: the shell, each foot being muscular and limp-seeming, the use of acids to receive food or to break down obstacles, likes fermented foods, and lives close to the water in many cases.

====Name origin====
Shuckle may be derived from ''shuck'', to remove from a husk or pod. Its Japanese name is a repetition of 壷 ''tsubo'', jar, or 富士壺 ''fujitsubo'', barnacle.

==In other languages==
*[[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Pottrott - From ''Pott'' (a colloquial word for jar) and ''verrotten'' (to rot), referring to the fermentation of berries in its shell.
*[[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Caratroc - From ''carapace'' (shell) and ''troc'' (exchange), refering to its ability of transforming berries into berry juice.
*[[List of Korean Pokémon names|Korean]]: 단단지 ''Dandanji''

'''Present''' (Japanese: '''プレゼント''' ''Present'') is a damage-dealing {{type2|Normal}} [[move]] introduced in [[Generation II]]. It is the [[signature move]] of {{p|Delibird}}.

==Effect==
Present has two different effects. Present can either deal damage against the target or heal the target.

If Present deals damage, then the base power of Present is chosen at random between 40, 80 and 120. If Present chooses to heal the target, it will heal the foe by 80HP.

==Trivia==
* Oddly, when a Pokémon uses Present in the anime, it gives the foe a glowing ball that deals damage. However, in the games, the move has been classed as a Physical move. Nonetheless, this could just be that the user of the move ''physically'' gives the other the Present and it doesn't just appear in its hands.
*This is the only Pokemon move that can heal the opponent.

==Characteristics==
The Fire type is mediocre defensively. Ground, Rock, and Water moves are all very common, while most of the Fire-type's resistances are of little use. Fire-type Pokémon will not survive too long in battle; they must deal damage quickly in order to earn their slot on a team. This reflects the nature of fire being a very destructive force yet at the same time being very fragile. However, not only does Fire have 5 resistances, but its also immune to the Burn condition making Pokémon of this type key physical sweepers. Also, most Fire types can at least learn {{m|SolarBeam}} to counter all 3 of the type's weaknesses.

Offensively, Fire is very useful. The ability to deal [[super effective]] damage to Steel-type Pokémon is very useful for Pokémon that specialize in [[physical moves]], as many Steel-type Pokémon typically have high {{stat|Defense}} but a low {{stat|Special Defense}} and would have little trouble with any physical moves thrown at them. Also Fire moves are generally powerful, with half of its damaging moves having 100 or more for power and 11 out of 16 having 80 or more.

Quantity-wise, Fire-types are rare, with only 17 fully evolved Pokémon among them, of which there are four [[legendary Pokémon|legendaries]] and four [[starter Pokémon]]. So technically, only 9 Fire-type Pokémon are easily available. This makes sense as most forms of fire are extremely rare in nature. Fire-types are much rarer in colder regions than in warmer ones, as proven with [[Hoenn]] and [[Sinnoh]]'s Pokédex listings, which have the most and the least Fire-types, respectively, if not counting the Johto Dex (which counted all ten Fire-type evolution families that were known at the time). Fire types often have below average defense stats, but high speed and attack stats, making them lethal damaging Pokémon.

When used in contests, Fire-type moves typically become [[Beauty Contest|Beauty]] moves, but some may be [[Tough Contest|Tough]] or [[Smart Contest|Smart]] moves.

==Trivia==
* Fifteen of the eighteen Fire-type moves are Beauty moves in Contests. The only three that aren't Beauty moves were newly introduced in [[Generation IV]], meaning that in [[Generation III]], all Fire-type moves were Beauty moves.
* It is interesting to note that in the Hoenn region games, Fire-type moves could be used [[underwater]] and Fire-types like {{p|Charmander}} were able to battle underwater, even though its Pokédex entries point out that it will die if its flame goes out.
* The three types that Fire is weak to (Ground, Rock, and Water) all share a weakness to {{type2|Grass}} attacks.
* {{p|Torkoal}} is the only non-legendary Fire-type not related by evolution to another Pokémon.
* All Fire-type Pokémon have yellow, orange, or red color somewhere on their body.
* Every generation so far has introduced a Fire-type whose name begins with a C.
** Every Fire-type starter family has at least one member whose name begins with a C.
* Of all [[status move]]s, the second least common type among them is the Fire-type, tied with {{t|Fighting}}- and {{type2|Steel}}s.
* Pokémon Diamond and Pearl versions have been criticized for the severe lack of Fire-types in the Sinnoh Pokédex (the {{p|Chimchar}} and {{p|Ponyta}} lines being the only ones), which became apparent when {{EF|Flint}}'s team only had two Fire-types (the final forms of those two lines). This was fixed in Platinum with the expansion, as {{p|Houndour}} was added to [[Valor Lakefront]], {{p|Magmar}} was added to [[Fuego Ironworks]] and {{p|Flareon}} was available as an evolution of {{p|Eevee}}.
* [[Vulpix (Pokémon)|Vulpix]] and [[Ninetales (Pokémon)|Ninetales]] are the only two Fire-type Pokémon species where females outnumber males.

==Trivia==
* Fifteen of the eighteen Fire-type moves are Beauty moves in Contests. The only three that aren't Beauty moves were newly introduced in [[Generation IV]], meaning that in [[Generation III]], all Fire-type moves were Beauty moves.
* It is interesting to note that in the Hoenn region games, Fire-type moves could be used [[underwater]] and Fire-types like {{p|Charmander}} were able to battle underwater, even though its Pokédex entries point out that it will die if its flame goes out.
* The three types that Fire is weak to (Ground, Rock, and Water) all share a weakness to {{type2|Grass}} attacks.
* {{p|Torkoal}} is the only non-legendary Fire-type not related by evolution to another Pokémon.
* All Fire-type Pokémon have yellow, orange, or red color somewhere on their body.
* Every generation so far has introduced a Fire-type whose name begins with a C.
** Every Fire-type starter family has at least one member whose name begins with a C.
* Of all [[status move]]s, the second least common type among them is the Fire-type, tied with {{t|Fighting}}- and {{type2|Steel}}s.
* Pokémon Diamond and Pearl versions have been criticized for the severe lack of Fire-types in the Sinnoh Pokédex (the {{p|Chimchar}} and {{p|Ponyta}} lines being the only ones), which became apparent when {{EF|Flint}}'s team only had two Fire-types (the final forms of those two lines). This was fixed in Platinum with the expansion, as {{p|Houndour}} was added to [[Valor Lakefront]], {{p|Magmar}} was added to [[Fuego Ironworks]]and {{p|Flareon}} was available as an evolution of {{p|Eevee}}.
* [[Vulpix (Pokémon)|Vulpix]] and [[Ninetales (Pokémon)|Ninetales]] are the only two Fire-type Pokémon species where females outnumber males.

Hey, I saw that Maverick Nate is on Hiatus and it said to redirect stuff to you. I found some Trading Cards on the official Japanese Pokémon Website, and I couldn't find a couple on here.

Also, for the Anime Characters Pokémon the Pichu cards are animated. Second, I found the [http://www.pokemon-card.com/products/promotion/randompack2009/ Movie 12 Pokémon Cards].

}}

The '''Villa''' (Japanese: '''べっそう''' ''Villa'') is a home owned by the player exclusively in {{game|Platinum}}, located in the [[Resort Area]] of the [[Battle Zone]]. When the player arrives in the Resort Area the previous owner of the villa gives it to the player. The player can then purchase items from a catalog on the table. Certain NPCs such as [[Gym Leader]]s, {{ga|Pearl|the rival}}, [[Professor Rowan]], Rowan's assistant ({{ga|Dawn}}/{{ga|Lucas}}), and the player's mom will visit the house from the start; some others after certain items have been purchased. As a rule of thumb, a different character will visit each day if furniture is not being purchased. However, sometimes a character may not visit at all.

==Catalog Guide==
{{main|Villa decoration}}
The items purchasable from the catalog are decorations for furnishing the house. They cannot be moved and most are not usable.

Its head is covered in a cream-colored hair, except for the region around its eyes and ears, which is orange. Its body is a combination of the same orange fur with black stripes and completely black fur on its belly. It also has patches of cream-colored on its chest, legs and tail. Its paws each have three claws and a round pink paw underneath.

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

====Special abilities====
Arcanine can spit large trails of flame, as well as run with {{m|ExtremeSpeed|extreme speed}}. It also has a {{m|Iron Head|rock hard head}}.

===Behavior===
Wise and loyal, Arcanine are prized Pokémon.

===Habitat===
[[Image:Grassland.gif|right|frame|[[List of Pokémon by habitat#Grassland Pokémon|Grassland Pokémon]]]]
Arcanine live in active volcanoes, grassy plains, and scorched fields heated by geothermal energy.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}
 

==In the anime==
[[File:Gary_and_Arcanine.jpg|right|thumb|[[Gary]] and his {{TP|Gary|Arcanine}}]]
===Major appearances===
In ''[[AG139|On Cloud Arcanine]]'', [[Drew]] and {{an|May}} wanted to capture an Arcanine for using in a [[Pokémon Contest]]. When it was discovered that the Pokémon had a litter of {{p|Growlithe}} puppies to take care of, the two rivals decided to leave Arcanine alone.

====[[Gary's Arcanine]]====
[[Gary Oak]] has an Arcanine. The first time it was seen was in ''[[EP063|The Battle of the Badge]]'' battling [[Giovanni]]. He used it again to battle {{Ash}} and his {{AP|Bayleef}} in ''[[EP228|Extreme Pokémon!]]''.

[[File:Arcanine-anime.jpg|right|thumb|Arcanine in the anime]]

====Other====
Arcanine and its pre-evolution, {{p|Growlithe}}, have often been seen being used as [[Officer Jenny's Growlithe|police dogs]].

{{Ash}} battled an Arcanine in ''[[EP076|Fire and Ice]]''. This Arcanine was under the ownership of [[Pete Pebbleman]] and was his final Pokémon. Despite the type disadvantage, Pete's Arcanine easily defeated [[Ash's Kingler]] by dodging its {{m|Bubble}} attack and using {{m|Dragon Rage}}. {{AP|Pikachu}} managed to defeat the Arcanine with a {{m|Thunderbolt}} attack after the Ice Field melted due to Arcanine's {{m|Fire Blast}}.

In ''[[EP190|The Stolen Stones]]'', two Trainers named [[Ramona]] and [[Keegan]] had three Arcanine, one under the ownership of Keegan and two under his sister Ramona. They were using the {{type2|Fire}} Pokémon to deliver some {{evosto|Fire}}s to be used as prizes for a local Fire-Pokémon tournament. The two Trainers used their Arcanine to save Ash, [[Misty]] and [[Brock]] from falling off a cliff.

In ''[[AG153|Tactics Theatrics]]'', {{FB|Dome Ace|Tucker}} used an {{p|Arcanine}} and a {{p|Swampert}} to {{pkmn|battle}} against [[Ash's Swellow]] and {{AP|Corphish}}.

===Minor appearances===
In ''[[DP020|Mutiny in the Bounty!]]'', [[Officer Jenny]] used an Arcanine to track down [[J|Pokémon Hunter J]].

An Arcanine appeared in ''[[DP086|Arriving in Style!]]''.

===Pokédex entries===

==In the manga==
In [[Pokémon Special]], [[Blaine]] is seen to have an Arcanine from a flashback in {{PSV|3}}, when he recalls a confrontation with [[Team Rocket]].

{{Special|Crystal}} has an Arcanine, whom she uses for transport at times. It is able to hit targets fast and hard using its {{m|ExtremeSpeed}}. As explained in a flashback in {{PSV|11}}, Arcanine was a [[wild Pokémon]] from [[Mt. Mortar]] whose left eye was injured five years ago. The cause is revealed to be a {{p|Larvitar}} prankster, whom Crystal manages to capture.

==Trivia==
* Arcanine originally had the name "Blaze".
* Arcanine has the highest base stats of any Pokémon that only has evolved once.
* Arcanine has the second-highest base stat average of any non-legendary and non-[[pseudo-legendary]] Pokémon, next to {{p|Slaking}}.
* Because of its high stats, its [[species]], and the fact that it was illustrated in an ancient slab along with the [[legendary birds]] in the [[EP002|second episode]], it could be theorized that Arcanine was originally planned to be part of the legendary trio in first generation games; possibly even the birds' [[trio master]].
* Arcanine's Pokédex entry for Pokémon Yellow connects the Pokémon world with our own. It says "A legendary Pokémon in {{wp|China}}. Many people are charmed by its grace and beauty while running."

===Origin===
Arcanine is based on the Ryukyuan {{wp|Shisa|シーサー ''shisa''}}, or ''koma-inu''. They are mythical creatures that take inspiration from lions, tigers, and dogs. Statues of them in pairs are used as guardians and to invite good luck.

====Name origin====
Arcanine's name is a combination of ''arcane'', meaning mysterious, and ''{{wp|canine}}'', meaning dog. Windie may refer to wind, because this Pokémon runs like a wind as if it was flying and at great speed.

{{bulbanews|game}}
'''Pokémon Platinum Version''' (Japanese: '''ポケットモンスタープラチナ''' ''Pocket Monsters Platinum'') is a sister game to {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}, and is the third [[Generation IV]] [[main series]] game. The game was first seen on May 11, 2008 when a low-resolution cell-phone picture of an upcoming issue of [[CoroCoro]] magazine was leaked around the Internet. On May 15, the magazine was officially released and the game was also officially confirmed by Nintendo. The game was released in Japan on September 13, 2008, in North America on March 22, 2009, in Australia on May 14, 2009 and in Europe on May 22, 2009. It currently awaits release in other regions.

Like previous third versions, the region and starting area remain the same, and the player begins their journey from [[Twinleaf Town]] across all of [[Sinnoh]].

==Changes from Pokémon Diamond and Pearl==
===Aesthetic changes===
* {{ga|Lucas}}, {{ga|Dawn}}, and {{ga|Pearl}} have different outfits designed for colder weather, as the entire Sinnoh region has changed in temperature.
* The template for the [[level]], {{stat|Hit Points|HP}}, and name of Pokémon in battle is a dark gray instead of white, and its shape has changed.
* The [[Pokétch]] has been redesigned. Players can now move up and down between apps instead of having to go through all of them to return to a previous one.
* Some of the [[move]]s have been redesigned and have a different animation, such as {{m|Razor Leaf}} and {{m|Spacial Rend}}.
* When Pokémon are sent out from their [[Poké Ball]]s, their back sprites now animate much like their front sprites have since {{v|Emerald}} (i.e., multiple frames of animation in addition to the various distortions and filters already used). Front sprites for {{cat|Generation IV Pokémon}} and other Pokémon in the [[Sinnoh Dex]] have also changed. Certain Pokémon not in the Sinnoh Dex, like {{p|Meowth}}, also got a change in sprites.
* When battling certain {{pkmn|Trainer}}s such as [[Gym Leader]]s, [[Frontier Brain]]s and {{ga|Pearl}}, their sprites are now animated to move in the same manner as Pokémon.
* Some trainers now use [[seals]] when sending out some of their Pokémon.
* The [[Eterna Gym|Eterna]], [[Hearthome Gym|Hearthome]], and [[Veilstone Gym]]s have all had complete redesigns in the interior.
* Closeups of Gym Leaders, just before a battle, have been changed from enlarged sprites to higher-quality drawings and the terms VS;  the Frontier Brains also have this feature. The Elite Four have this as well, but the animation includes the player on the left side of the "VS." and the Elite Four member on the right side.
* The rooms where the player battle the {{si|Elite Four}} have been redesigned. {{EF|Aaron}} now has logs and foliage in his room. [[Bertha]] now has rocks in her room. {{EF|Flint}} now contains lava pits in his room. [[Lucian]]'s room has only had minor changes to now include four large lights or glowing orbs on the floor. [[Cynthia]]'s room has changed its color scheme and the lift leading up to the [[Hall of Fame]] is now partially contained. The [[Pokémon Center]] at the Elite Four has also been redesigned.
* When entering new areas, the location "labels" on the top-left corner have been redesigned, much like they were between {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}} and {{game|Emerald}}.
*All gyms now only have Pokémon of their type specialty.
*{{p|Pikachu}} and {{p|Pachirisu}} are now featured when entering Wi-Fi.
*The [[Pal Pad]] has been given a new design.
*The [[Junichi Masuda|game director]] at [[Hotel Grand Lake]] now has an overhead sprite of his own. The [[Diploma]] also was redesigned.

===Storyline changes===
* The player meets [[Professor Rowan]] and the opposite gender character earlier, and obtains his or her [[starter Pokémon]] on [[Route 201]].
* The first battle is against the player's rival, who, as always, has chosen the starter Pokémon that weakens that of the player.
* The player and the rival now encounter [[Cyrus]] at [[Lake Verity]] at the start of the game. The player can also meet Cyrus at different venues such as the [[Eterna City]] statue.
* Both {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Palkia}} appear on [[Spear Pillar]]. {{p|Giratina}}, the mascot of Platinum, then phases into [[Pokémon universe|the world]] in front of [[Cyrus]].
* A new area known as the [[Distortion World]] (Japanese: やぶれたせかい ''Torn World'') is playable. It has floor-like sections floating at ninety-degree angles from each other, creating an effect similar to the art of {{wp|M. C. Escher}}. It doesn't follow the {{wp|Laws of Physics}}, making things like {{m|Surf|surfing}} down a waterfall going up possible. The camera angle switches between perspective and isometric views to suit the angle of the player. It also has moving platforms with jumpable gaps between them. Giratina, when here, will be in its Origin Forme and is also the only wild Pokémon located here.
* Two new characters to the main storyline were added. One is [[Charon]], a professor of [[Team Galactic]], and the other is a police officer spying on Team Galactic, using the codename "[[Looker]]".
* A tag battle between the player and his or her {{ga|Pearl|rival}} against {{EF|Flint}} and [[Volkner]] takes place at the entrance to the {{si|Battle Frontier}} when the player first arrives there.
* [[Team Galactic]]'s plans for world domination and the layouts of their HQs, such as the one in Eterna, have been changed. In addition, they openly recognize their goal and are more openly villainous.
* Some of the [[Gym Leader]]s have been reordered: [[Fantina]] is now the third Gym Leader, [[Maylene]] is the fourth and [[Crasher Wake]] is the fifth. The appearance of players' gym badge case stays the same though.
* {{ga|Dawn}}/{{ga|Lucas}} no longer gives the player the [[Dowsing Machine]] or the [[Vs Seeker]] near the [[Route 206]] junction; instead he/she meets the player at the entrance to [[Mt. Coronet]].
*[[Team Galactic]] appears in [[Stark Mountain]] under the command of [[Charon]], who seeks to use the destructive power of the volcano to extort money from the people of Sinnoh. The player, with help from [[Buck]], must defeat them. During this event, [[Mars]] and [[Jupiter]] quit Team Galactic because Charon does not share the same ideals as ex-boss [[Cyrus]]. Ultimately, Charon and his two accompanying grunts are apprehended by [[Looker]] and two policemen.
* After the aforementioned event, the player is able to challenge all the [[Gym Leader]]s of Sinnoh to rematches in the [[Battleground]]. The player's tag battle partners from throughout the game ([[Cheryl]], [[Buck]], [[Marley]], [[Mira]], and [[Riley]]) are also able to be challenged in this place. Each of the 13 characters has a team of five Pokémon, whose levels are between 61 and 66.
* The {{si|Elite Four}} increase their Pokémon's levels after the player has completed the [[Stark Mountain]] event. Their levels are now between 65 and 78.
* When one finishes the [[Stark Mountain]] quest, instead of the [[rival]] appearing at the [[Fight Area]] on weekends, he now appears at the [[Survival Area]] in front of the [[Battleground]]. During the first battle, the levels of the Pokémon in his party range from 59-65, second battle 69-75, and third and beyond 79-85. On his last battle, he is the trainer with the highest-leveled Pokémon in all main series games.
* When first visiting the [[Resort Area]], the player receives a [[villa]]. Inside on a table is a catalog that lists items that can be purchased to furnish the house in the same manner as decorating a secret base. The player will be visited by NPCs such as the Sinnoh Gym Leaders, the player's [[mom]], [[Professor Rowan]], and the rival.

===Gameplay changes===
* Giratina's cry will be heard when "Start" or "A" are pressed at the title screen, unlike in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}} which just play a snippet of the title theme's melody. It shares this trait with some games from previous generations.
* The Wi-Fi area has been enhanced with the [[Wi-Fi Plaza]], which supports up to 20 people at a time. The new area seems to focus exclusively on mini-games, which include '' Wobbuffet Pop'', where players hit a {{p|Wobbuffet}}, ''Mime Jr. Top'', where players can balance {{p|Mime Jr.}} on a ball and ''Swalot Plop'' where players throw berries at a {{p|Swalot}} machine.
* There is a new [[key item]] called the [[Vs. Recorder]] (given by [[Looker]] when the player first meets him in [[Jubilife City]]), which allows players to record battles in {{si|Battle Frontier}} and Wi-Fi, and share the records with other players over the [[GTS]]. Players can also take pictures of their [[PC]] boxes and share them with other players in a similar fashion.
* The [[GTS]] has incorporated a Wii message system that allows players to be notified of completed trades. Notification messages are sent to the player's Wii Message Board.
* The Sinnoh starters and their evolutions are now allowed in an expanded [[Amity Square]], making a total of 20 Pokémon allowed in the Square.
* Over local wireless, there is a new feature called ''Spin Trade'' where the player and their friends can put their Pokémon eggs in and randomly swap. Trainers that obtain eggs that land on the ''Bonus Area'', the spotted ones, get a berry too.
* {{HM|05|Defog}} is now located inside the [[Solaceon Ruins]] instead of the [[Pastoria Great Marsh]].
* The player now receives {{HM|04|Strength}} from [[Riley]] on [[Iron Island]] instead of in the [[Lost Tower]].
* The player can now challenge other trainers in certain [[Pokémon Center]]s. The trainer(s) are located in front of the desk. These trainers change location every day.
* In addition to the move tutors in Diamond and Pearl, three new [[move tutors]] are added, in [[Snowpoint City]], on [[Route 212]] and in the [[Survival Area]].
* It is no longer necessary to possess {{HM|07|Waterfall}} to go down waterfalls like it was in Diamond and Pearl, regaining its original behavior.
* The {{stat|Accuracy}} of {{m|Hypnosis}} was changed back to 60.
* The game's speed is faster compared to Diamond and Pearl, especially while {{m|Surf|surfing}} and during {{pkmn|battle}}s. These improvements make the game almost, if not as fast, as the [[Generation III]] games.
* Poffins can be made with others via Wi-Fi.
* A man in the [[Veilstone Game Corner]]'s Prize Exchange House can tell the player the type of [[Hidden Power]] their Pokémon has, and a man in the {{si|Battle Tower}} is able to judge the [[Individual values]] of the player Pokémon.
* When the player starts the battle with the Giratina in the [[Distortion World]], instead of displaying "A wild GIRATINA appeared!", it displays "The Distortion World's GIRATINA appeared!".
* The price of the [[accessory|accessories]] at [[Pick a Peck of Colors Flower Shop]] on [[Floaroma Town]] has been reduced.
* European versions of the game are no longer able to play [[slot machine]]s. These versions of the game replace slot machines with [[game machine]]s, a machine that simply gives coins to the player with little interactivity. The reason this was done is due to recent implementation of stricter legislation against gambling in the European Union. This issue will cause similar changes in future European versions of Pokémon games as well.

====Obtainable Pokémon====
* 59 more Pokémon have been added to the [[List of Pokémon by Sinnoh Pokédex number|Sinnoh Pokédex]] to give it a grand total of 210 entries, with all non-legendary Pokémon introduced in Generation IV now included, along with their pre-evolved forms and several other Pokémon. The added Pokémon, such as {{p|Rotom}} and {{p|Giratina}}, are now available prior to the [[Elite Four]] challenge.
* Giratina can appear both as Altered Forme and Origin Forme in Platinum. It will appear in Origin Forme while in the [[Distortion World]], and in Altered Forme while out of it. A [[Griseous Orb]] is required to transform it to its Origin Forme outside of the Distortion World.
* The [[ability]] of Origin Forme is {{a|Levitate}} and its [[Stat|base stats]] mirror those of Altered Forme in that the offensive stats have been switched with their respective defensive stats.
* Shaymin's new Forme is called ''Sky Forme'' and takes on a canine appearance. Its [[ability]] is {{a|Serene Grace}} and the form is focused on {{stat|Speed}} and {{stat|Special Attack}}. It will be able to learn new moves like {{m|Quick Attack}}, {{m|Air Slash}} and {{m|Leaf Storm}}.
* {{p|Shaymin}} is able to change between its two forms via the use of the {{OBP|Gracidea|flower}} (Japanese: グラシデアのはな ''Gracidea Flower''). This item doesn't work at [[Time#Times of day|night]] or if Shaymin is {{status|Freeze|frozen}}.
* {{p|Rotom}} has new forms as well. Each of the five forms is a Rotom that has possessed an electrical appliance. Despite having visual characteristics of other types, the five forms share the original Rotom's {{t|Electric}} and {{t|Ghost}} types, whereas their [[Stat|base stats]] are far higher. They also share the original Rotom's ability: {{a|Levitate}}. These Pokémon are not normally available and are therefore banned from official tournaments. The item to unlock these Pokémon in the game, the {{OBP|Secret Key|Gen IV}}, is an event-only item.
* {{p|Regirock}}, {{p|Regice}} and {{p|Registeel}} can be caught at level 30 with the help of an event {{p|Regigigas}} that has been distributed in Nintendo events.
* {{p|Regigigas}} is now found at level 1, making it the lowest-[[level]] non-glitch wild Pokémon in a game, along with {{p|Magikarp}}. It's also the lowest-level non-glitch legendary in a game.
* The [[legendary birds]] can be found as roaming Pokémon after the [[National Dex|National Pokédex]] is obtained. They roam Sinnoh much like {{p|Mesprit}} and {{p|Cresselia}} do. The player has to talk to [[Professor Oak]] in [[Eterna City]] to trigger their appearance. They are all at level 60.
* {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Palkia}} appear on [[Spear Pillar]] one at a time after the player has spoken with Cynthia's grandmother in [[Celestic Town]], and obtained the [[Adamant Orb|Adamant]] and [[Lustrous Orb]]s in [[Mt. Coronet]].
* [[Cynthia]] now gives the player a [[Pokémon egg]] containing {{p|Togepi}} after the player has defeated Team Galactic at the [[Galactic Eterna Building]], replacing the {{p|Happiny}} Egg previously obtainable in [[Hearthome City]].
* [[Bebe]] now gives the player an {{p|Eevee}} before the player receives the [[National Dex]]; Eevee can now be obtained from the first time the player arrives in [[Hearthome City]]. It is at level 20.
* A man in [[Veilstone City]] gives the player a level 25 {{p|Porygon}} as a gift.
* {{p|Manaphy}}, while still uncatchable in-game, is now required to obtain the [[National Dex]]. It can be added to the [[Sinnoh Dex]] from finding its picture in a book in the {{OBP|Pokémon Mansion|Sinnoh}}.

===Map changes===
*Much like the [[Pokémon Emerald Version|third version of the last generation]], a new {{si|Battle Frontier}} takes the place of the {{si|Battle Park}}. It has the {{si|Battle Tower}}, {{si|Battle Factory}}, {{si|Battle Castle}}, {{si|Battle Arcade}} and {{si|Battle Hall}} as venues.
*[[Twinleaf Town]] and nearby routes now have snow patches.
*[[Jubilife City]] has been refurbished with new pathways and some buildings have animated roof lights.
*The [[Global Trade Station]] in [[Jubilife City]] has been redesigned and now includes a bigger global terminal. It has been renamed as the ''Global Terminal''.
*[[Oreburgh Mine]] now has twin coal transporters starting from the entrance and ending at the entrance to the last section of the mine and are now moving.
*An arch now represents the entrances to [[Floaroma Town]].
*The trees in [[Eterna Forest]], as well as [[Fullmoon Island]] and [[Newmoon Island]], cast shadows that cover the ground.
*[[Eterna City]] has been refurbished with new foliage and pathways. Also the [[Galactic Eterna Building]] has had a complete redesign, inside and out. It now contains a secret room where Rotom can switch between its forms.
*[[Route 206|Cycling Road]] has been redesigned and now has tunnel-like shelters in the middle of the Cycle Route, as well as lights along the sides of it.
*[[Hearthome City]] has been refurbished with new pathways.
*[[Amity Square]] has been completely remodeled. It now includes a small pond, more paths and more upper levels. The old buildings that previously inhabited Amity Square now contain Warp Panels which transport the player to the other old buildings within Amity Square.
*[[Lost Tower]] has had its color scheme changed and now has fog on three of its five floors, which can be cleared by {{HM|05|Defog}}.
*[[Solaceon Town]]'s houses have been remodeled and the [[Pokémon Daycare]] now has a trough filled with water and tent-like shelters.
*[[Veilstone City]] has been refurbished with new pathways. The [[Galactic Veilstone Building]] has been redesigned, inside and out. The [[Veilstone Department Store]] now has a basement, in which contest items can be sold and bought. Berries and Lava Cookies can be bought as well.
*The [[Hotel Grand Lake]] has been refurbished with new pathways.
*[[Pastoria City]]'s houses have been remodeled and now also includes a board with a {{p|Croagunk}} on it which is located in front of the [[Great Marsh]].
*The [[Great Marsh]] has had its color scheme changed and has also had foliage changed and added.
*[[Celestic Town]]'s houses have been remodeled.
*[[Canalave City]] has been refurbished with new pathways and its houses and library have also been remodeled.
*The player now needs to use {{HM|08|Rock Climb}} to reach [[Lake Acuity]].
*The area of water to the south of [[Snowpoint City]] where the player can get a boat to the [[Battle Zone]] now contains a small amount of icebergs. These can also be seen in the ocean when the boat is crossing to the Battle Zone. The boat has also been redesigned, most likely due to the icebergs in the sea.
*The back area of [[Spear Pillar]] has been slightly redesigned to allow more room for the [[Dragon Trio]] when they appear.
*[[Sunyshore City]] has been refurbished with new pathways and its houses have been remodeled.
*The entrance and exit of {{si|Victory Road}} have become wider, having a [[Poké Ball]] at the center of the arch.
*The [[Battle Zone]] is now warmer, and palm trees can be found there.
*[[Stark Mountain]] now has more features evocative of a {{wp|volcano}}, such as crags and pits of lava.
*The {{si|Pokémon Mansion}} is surrounded by golden railings.

===Missing Pokémon===
These Pokémon are available in Diamond and Pearl but missing from Platinum and must be traded from the other games of [[Generation IV]] or imported from a game from [[Generation III]].

==Reception==
Upon its release Pokémon Platinum received very good review scores from critics. Famitsu awarded the game a score of 36 out of 40 with all four reviewers giving it a 9 out of 10. IGN gave the game a "Great" score with an 8.8 out of 10 stating that, "Yes, It's still good. Even two years later".

==Connectivity==
*The game can connect automatically to {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}} once the player has access to a [[Pokémon Center]]. It retains the same compatibility with [[Generation III]] games and [[Pokémon Battle Revolution]] as its predecessors, but [[My Pokémon Ranch]] requires an update to work with Platinum that is currently only available in Japan. Pokémon Battle Revolution also wasn't programmed to be compatible with Platinum, so new formes will not appear.

==Trivia==
*This is the first game where a [[version mascot]]'s primary color is not the name of the game. However, while no color is especially dominant in {{p|Giratina}}'s color scheme, it has gray elements that the "Platinum" may refer to, and the names ''Giratina'' and ''Platina'' share the same word ending.
* Platinum is the only game thus far to have altered a [[regional Pokédex]].
* Platinum is the first game to be named after a metal since {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}.
** It also makes [[Generation IV]] the first generation in which two game names have the same first initial in English ('''P'''earl and '''P'''latinum). However, other languages have had the same initial in their game names, with Spanish '''A'''zul and '''A'''marillo for Blue and Yellow and German '''S'''aphir and '''S'''maragd for Sapphire and Emerald. Coincidentally, all three of these are the respective second and third versions of their generation.
* According to {{wp|Famitsu}}, Pokémon Platinum is the fastest-selling [[Nintendo DS]] game.
* A small cosmetic mistake was made during the development of Platinum. Normally, when the player picks up an item on the ground, it disappears and the message saying "[PLAYER] received a(n)/the [item]". However, when the player approaches the Poké Ball containing the [[Griseous Orb]], it displays "[PLAYER] received a Griseous Orb!" ''before'' it disappears. This was corrected in the English version of the game.
**In the [[Turnback Cave]], however, the item in the last room by the portal still has this mistake.
*On occasions at the Pastoria Great Marsh, if the player stands behind the Croagunk Wall with the player's head sticking out of it, a wild Croagunk will come, but it will just cry and walk into the Great Marsh building.
*All of the Pokémon in the Sinnoh Pokédex as well as a few others got new sprite designs, as is customary for third versions. However, the {{2v2|Diamond|Pearl}} sprites are still used when the player dresses up the Pokémon either in [[Super Contest]]s or in the [[Jubilife TV]] station.
*Platinum's PRNG, or pseudorandom number generator, used for determining a Pokémon's [[personality value]], is "broken", leading to the easier breeding of [[Alternate coloration|shiny]] [[Pokémon egg|eggs]] and negligence to reset in-game events such as what Trainers appear in the [[Battleground]]. This also happens with {{game|Emerald}}.

'''Cianwood City''' (Japanese: '''タンバシティ''' ''Tanba City'') is located in on the very western tip of [[Johto]], apparently on a totally different landmass than the rest of the region. Its motto is "A Port Surrounded by Rough Seas!"

[[Pokémon Trainer]]s often come to Cianwood City in order to win the [[Badge#Storm Badge|Storm Badge]] from [[Chuck]], the Cianwood [[Gym Leader]] who specializes in {{type2|Fighting}} [[Pokémon]].

Tales of {{p|Lugia}} and the {{m|Whirlpool}}s it creates circulate among the sailors that stop in this port town.

The only way in or out of Cianwood City is to {{m|Fly}} or {{m|Surf}} through the sea to the east, [[Route 41]].
==Places of interest==
===Mania's House===
Mania, a [[PokéManiac]] on the island, will give the {{player}} a {{p|Shuckle}} for safekeeping after {{ga|Silver}} steals his {{p|Sneasel}}. The paranoid trainer was bullied into giving away his rare Pokémon to Silver.

===Photo Studio===
There's a Photo Studio where pictures of Pokémon can be taken. This is meant to work with the [[Game Boy Printer]] peripheral. In Gold, Silver, and Crystal, the player can print out their [[Pokédex]] or the [[stats]] of one specific Pokémon. [[Mail]] can also be printed.

===Cianwood City Pharmacy===
Cianwood City Pharmacy is a small pharmacy that is over 500 years old. The Cianwood City Pharmacy sells remedies exclusive to the town. [[Jasmine]] will ask that the player to fetch [[Amphy|her Ampharos]] some [[SecretPotion|medicine]] from there.

After giving Jasmine the medicine, players can return to the Pharmacy to find that Potions and Full Heals are in stock.

===Area north of the city===
[[File:CianwoodHGSS.png|thumb|right|Area north of Cianwood City in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}]]
In the very north of the city, there is a small area with a ledge where Suicune will be at a certain point of time in the game in Crystal. [[Eusine]] will appear after it runs away, and will battle the player in an effort to prove himself to Suicune.

{{PartyFooter|color={{psychic color}}}}<!--

===Pokémon Seer===
In the very north of the city, there is a small house with an elderly woman who can tell where and when a Pokémon in the trainer's party has been caught. The Seer can only be found in {{v|Crystal}}. Unlike [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Versions|later games]], the player is unable to find out where they caught their Pokémon by looking in their Pokémon's status; hence, the Pokémon Seer is the only way the player can tell where they caught their Pokémon. If a Pokémon traded from another game or an in-game traded Pokémon is shown to her, she will not be able to identify any details about it.

==Demographics==
Cianwood City has a total population of 19. Therefore, it is one of the smallest cities in Johto. It presents little emigration, because of its remote position in Johto. Cianwood City is strongly related to [[Olivine City]], as the only route to Cianwood is Olivine.

==Item==
* [[SecretPotion]]: From the Cianwood City Pharmacy.
* {{HM|02|Fly}}: From [[Chuck's wife]], after obtaining the {{badge|Storm}}.

==Trivia==
* Cianwood was the first {{type2|Fighting}} Pokémon Gym where the {{player}} received an Official Pokémon League Badge. If not for losing its official status, the honor would have gone to [[Saffron City]] and their Fighting Dojo. Even if the Saffron Gym reattained its official status again and be able to award badges, Cianwood would still be the first Fighting-type gym in [[Generation II]] that the {{player}} would have to defeat in order to gain a badge.
* Like Cianwood City, [[Dewford Town]], home of [[Hoenn]]'s Fighting-type Gym, is also separate from the mainland and lacking a PokéMart.
* {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}} has a reference to Cianwood City. After meeting up with [[Cynthia]], she will give the player a [[SecretPotion]]. The SecretPotion's description mentions that it was dispensed by the pharmacy in Cianwood City.

===Name origin===
[[wp:Cyan|Cyan]] is a light blue-green color.
