== The Preview Button ==
Instead of editing a page several times in a row, try using the preview button to make sure your edit looks the way you want it to. It's right next to the Save Page button. Please try it out, so as not to clog up the Recent Changes. Also, if you want to edit multiple sections of the page, make sure that you click "edit this page" at the top of the page rather than editing it by section. Thanks! --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] ([[User talk:FinnishPokéFan92|talk]]) 21:30, 9 April 2024 (UTC)

== Kecleon Shop items ==

Please be aware that the sellable items list you're adding is from just the Rescue Team games. Different Mystery Dungeon games have different items for sell, including the remake of the Rescue Ream games. --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] ([[User talk:FinnishPokéFan92|talk]]) 21:35, 9 April 2024 (UTC)
:For future reference, please keep the discussions on one talk page instead of responding to another talk page. The conversation will be easier to follow that way. --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] ([[User talk:FinnishPokéFan92|talk]]) 22:56, 9 April 2024 (UTC)

== Connection template ==

For creating lists on what Pokémon can be connected at each town, I recommend using a template like the one found on [[Pokémon Island Beach|this page]] for example. This will take less space, be more colorful, and also allows a description of the connection method to be added. --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] ([[User talk:FinnishPokéFan92|talk]]) 19:31, 10 April 2024 (UTC)

== Miscellaneous advice ==

I suggest you familiarize yourself with some {{cat|link templates}} to make your links simpler. The most common ones are {{template|p}} for Pokémon species, {{template|m}} for moves, {{template|a}} for Abilities, and {{template|t}} for types. You can find more from the category I linked. --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] ([[User talk:FinnishPokéFan92|talk]]) 09:37, 11 April 2024 (UTC)
:Another template I recommend is {{template|OBP}}. --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] ([[User talk:FinnishPokéFan92|talk]]) 21:32, 30 April 2024 (UTC)

== New Pages ==

Hi, congratulations on creating your first new pages! From next time, when creating new pages, please remember to add categories and Project tags at the bottom of the page. (The trick is to look up which tag a similar page uses, and use a similar one). If you have any more questions, feel free to ask! → [[User:SuperPikaPool13|Pika]][[User talk:SuperPikaPool13|Tepig]][[Special:Contribs/SuperPikaPool13|999]] 19:51, 19 April 2024 (UTC)
:I'd also like to extend thanks for helping expand our UNITE content. A helpful tip might be to look over the [[manual of style]], in particular its guidance on {{DL|Bulbapedia:Manual of style|article titles}} (though note these are set to be updated soon). In particular, page titles should generally be singular ("[[item]]" not "items"). If you're unsure, feel free to ask a [[staff]] member for additional guidance. Keep up the great work! [[User:Landfish7|'''Land''']][[User talk:Landfish7|'''fish7''']] 21:54, 19 April 2024 (UTC)
::Hi there! Just another reminder to remember to add project tags to new articles, such as {{Template|Project Games notice}} for an article relevant to the games. Thanks! [[User:Landfish7|'''Land''']][[User talk:Landfish7|'''fish7''']] 12:07, 30 April 2024 (UTC)

== Talk page policy and conduct ==

Hi! You seem to be very active on talk pages, so I'd like to suggest that you review the {{bp|talk page policy}}, as it explains a lot about how talk pages work, what they're used for, and how to use them appropriately. One thing to note is that talk pages are generally to be used for communication and discussion related to improving the wiki, not for off-topic discussions.

I noticed a few of your recent discussions seem to be off topic, speculating on the subject matter of the article rather than discussing improvements to their content. I'd suggest instead taking these discussions to the Bulbagarden [https://forums.bulbagarden.net/index.php forums] or [https://discord.gg/bulbagarden Discord server], where people would be happy to chat with you about these sorts of things!

On another note, while you are free to share your honest opinions and thoughts on talk pages regarding the wiki's content, please remember to be respectful and follow the [[code of conduct]]. Some of your recent comments didn't seem very friendly, such as this comment [https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Talk:Olympica here]. Comments like these may make some users feel uncomfortable and unwelcome. All we ask is that everyone be nice and try to make the wiki a pleasant place for everyone.

I appreciate your energy and passion, and hope to see that driven into some great discussions that will make this wiki an even better place than it already is! If you have any questions, feel free to ask me or another [[staff]] member, and we'll be happy to help. Thanks! [[User:Landfish7|'''Land''']][[User talk:Landfish7|'''fish7''']] 01:03, 1 May 2024 (UTC)

== Mystery Dungeon portraits ==

After seeing your edits, I've been thinking about ways to incorporate Mystery Dungeon portraits onto pages where they would be useful. I'd like to invite you to join the [https://discord.gg/bulbagarden Bulbapedia Discord] so you can be part of the discussion. I'd be happy to take care of uploading the SMD portraits, but I want to make sure we can be on the same page about how they should be named. [[User:Minibug|Minibug]] ([[User talk:Minibug|talk]]) 22:20, 1 May 2024 (UTC)

== Blurbs ==
Please do not remove links to blurbs from the episode pages, they are there to help people find the blurbs a lot easier and belong on the page.--[[User:BigDocFan|BigDocFan]], Junior Admin Bulbapedia ([[User talk:BigDocFan|talk]]) 21:53, 10 May 2024 (UTC)
:@BigDocFan, I do not believe the placement of them is appropriate. They should be listed as a Reference instead if you want them to be included. --[[User:CuteShaymin|CuteShaymin]] ([[User talk:CuteShaymin|talk]]) 22:03, 10 May 2024 (UTC)
::While that may be true, current standards for this link list them the way they are. If you disagree with their placement, bring up the topic on [[Bulbapedia talk:Project Anime]], but removing resources from pages meant to make things easier and more factual for future editors is not the way to change practices for the wiki. Do not remove them anymore without further discussion. Thanks ''[[User:Maverick Nate|'''Maverick''']][[User talk:Maverick Nate|'''Nate''']]'' 22:54, 10 May 2024 (UTC)
CuteShaymin, I started a discussion on [[Bulbapedia talk:Project Anime#Episode Blurb links]] about making the commented out episode blurb links visible to the reader. If you're interested in this discussion, I'd appreciate if you can voice your support on that talk page. Thanks. → [[User:SuperPikaPool13|Pika]][[User talk:SuperPikaPool13|Tepig]][[Special:Contribs/SuperPikaPool13|999]] 22:32, 15 May 2024 (UTC)

== Edit warring. ==

Hello. When someone reverts an edit you made, don’t just revert it back without some sort of discussion. That is what we call “edit warring”, and is against the rules. If you believe your edit is needed, then take it to the user’s talk page or the talk page of the article in question. [[User:Ataro|Ataro]] ([[User talk:Ataro|talk]]) 00:24, 11 May 2024 (UTC)

== Link templates ==

For simpler links, I recommend you familiarize yourself with Bulbapedia's {{bp|link templates}}. The most useful ones I can recommend are {{template|p}}, {{template|m}}, {{template|a}}, and {{template|OBP}}. More templates can be found through from the link I provided. Thank you. --[[User:FinnishPokéFan92|FinnishPokéFan92]] ([[User talk:FinnishPokéFan92|talk]]) 09:22, 12 May 2024 (UTC)

== Speculation ==
Please don't add speculation about anime characters and their Pokémon like you did with James' Cacnea, we only add confirmed facts.--[[User:BigDocFan|BigDocFan]], Junior Admin Bulbapedia ([[User talk:BigDocFan|talk]]) 20:19, 12 May 2024 (UTC)

== Creating articles and a note about collaboration ==

A reminder to please make sure that new articles meet the standards set by the [[manual of style]]. Articles need to be categorized and given the proper {{Bp|Projects|Project}} tag, such as by placing the {{Template|Project Sidegames notice}} at the bottom of the [[Fair-play point]] article (usually above the categories). Additionally, a reminder that titles should generally be singular per the manual of style's guidance on article titles (stay tuned to Bulbapedia's Main Page for upcoming announcements, as some additional guidance on this will be added to the manual of style soon).

On another note, I noticed you don't seem to respond to your {{bp|Talk page policy|talk page}} messages much, which gives the appearance that you are not reading the advice being given to you. Bulbapedia is a collaborative project, so I'd appreciate it if you'd make an effort to respond to talk page messages as well as to discuss important changes (such as the creation of new pages) with the community to make sure that the changes are something that are pleasing to everyone.

As a first step, please show me that you've read this message by adding the {{Template|Project Sidegames notice}} to the bottom of the [[Fair-play point]] article. Keep in mind that a failure to acknowledge this message and to take the advice being given to you may require us to issue a short block to get your attention. Bulbapedia is a community effort and we achieve great things when we work together, so I look forward to working with you to help make this wiki the best it can be! Thank you, and have a wonderful day. [[User:Landfish7|'''Land''']][[User talk:Landfish7|'''fish7''']] 11:20, 14 May 2024 (UTC)
:So um, did you read this (and the above sections)? We don't really want to resort to getting your attention via blocks (but if we must, we will). [[User:Nescientist|Nescientist]] ([[User talk:Nescientist|talk]]) 22:34, 14 May 2024 (UTC)

== Talk Page Usage ==

Hello, this message is to inform you that your recent edits have been counterproductive. If another user reverts your edit (especially staff), adding it right back may constitute as edit warring. If you disagree with your edits being removed, they should be taken to the talk page first. While your edits seem to be improving slightly over time, I notice you tend to ignore your own talk page and seldom respond to advice from other members or staff. If you continue to ignore staff advice and warnings, you will be blocked for a short time and be allowed to edit your talk page so you can respond to staff about why you are ignoring our advice and warnings. ''[[User:Frozen Fennec|Frozen]] [[User talk:Frozen Fennec|Fennec]]'' 03:56, 16 May 2024 (UTC)

== Blocked ==

You have been blocked for three days for the following reasons:
:1. Refusal to respond on talk pages
:2. Edit warring and reverting other users and admins
:3. Refusal to use talk pages to settle debates about edits
As noted above, Landfish7, BigDocFan, and Nescientist all gave advice, tips, and lastly a warning regarding your edits and refusal to respond to talk page comments. You have been left with the ability to respond on your talk page for why you refuse to listen to admins and continue to partake in edit wars when your edits are reverted. Once the block is over, if your behavior and refusal to acknowledge the talk page continues, you will be blocked for a longer period of time. ''[[User:Frozen Fennec|Frozen]] [[User talk:Frozen Fennec|Fennec]]'' 14:40, 16 May 2024 (UTC)
:Excuse you. I believe it is my right not to respond to rude comments. --[[User:CuteShaymin|CuteShaymin]] ([[User talk:CuteShaymin|talk]]) 17:44, 16 May 2024 (UTC)
::I don't consider our comments to be rude, we're trying our best to use our years of experience editing Bulbapedia to help you know the way we operate to help keep Bulbapedia a peaceful community.--[[User:BigDocFan|BigDocFan]], Junior Admin Bulbapedia ([[User talk:BigDocFan|talk]]) 17:57, 16 May 2024 (UTC)
:::All I've gotten on here is attacks and mistreatment since the start. --[[User:CuteShaymin|CuteShaymin]] ([[User talk:CuteShaymin|talk]]) 18:51, 16 May 2024 (UTC)
::::Our intention is not to be rude or attack you, but it is our responsibility as staff to make sure that the wiki runs smoothly by encouraging healthy collaborations and upholding the standards and expectations of the encyclopedia and its policies and style so that readers and editors have a consistent and positive experience.

::::We'd much prefer to resolve things through discussion, but if you continue to disregard our warnings by not following the [[code of conduct]] and the [[manual of style]], we will have to resort to further blocks so that we know that our expectations are understood. I can tell you have a lot of big ideas for improving the wiki, and we'd really like to work together with you so that we can make them happen in such a way that is a pleasant experience for everyone.

:::::It feels like everyone on here wants to fight me. This has not felt like a very welcoming and friendly place --[[User:CuteShaymin|CuteShaymin]] ([[User talk:CuteShaymin|talk]]) 02:42, 17 May 2024 (UTC)
::::::Nobody wants to fight you at all. You just having a hard time accepting constructive feedback without assuming people are attacking you or mistreamtent. no one is being cruel to you. They are helping while giving you constructive advice. I have recieved feedback on the site all the time and used to help me improve. I am not perfect and going to make mistake. Its important to take with being humbled and not assuming the worst.[[User:Jacob9594|Jacob9594 ]] ([[User talk:Jacob9594|talk]]) 04:19, 17 May 2024 (UTC)
:::::::Come on, give me a break. I fail to see what I did wrong, just please unblock me already --[[User:CuteShaymin|CuteShaymin]] ([[User talk:CuteShaymin|talk]]) 06:22, 18 May 2024 (UTC)
::::::::If you can't see what you did wrong, we have no reason to lift your block. Please take some time to reflect on your behavior and what we've said. [[User:Storm Aurora|'''Storm Aurora''']] ([[User talk:Storm Aurora|talk]]) 17:29, 18 May 2024 (UTC)
:::::::::I guess perhaps I was a little overzealous in my desire to stand out and be recognized for my accomplishments on here. I was trying a little too hard. --[[User:CuteShaymin|CuteShaymin]] ([[User talk:CuteShaymin|talk]]) 17:46, 18 May 2024 (UTC)
::::::::::I was viewing other editors as rivals trying to outshine me, to be perfectly honest with you. --[[User:CuteShaymin|CuteShaymin]] ([[User talk:CuteShaymin|talk]]) 18:01, 18 May 2024 (UTC)
{{indent}}We really appreciate that you're not afraid to {{wp|Wikipedia:Be bold|be bold}}. However, part of being bold is accepting that people won't always agree. The key is to not take this personally, as people reverting your edits or disagreeing with your changes also just want to help improve the wiki just like you. If you truly believe that your edits are good and an improvement, I'd use talk pages to explain why they should be kept. People may not always be convinced, and that's okay, but ideally in the end the changes agreed to will be something everyone will be happy with.

I hope that when your block expires tomorrow, that we get to see you make some more big changes and start participating in some great discussions on talk pages. In the meantime, I hope you will review the manual of style and code of conduct, and if you have any questions on our policies and expectations, we'd be more than happy to help! [[User:Landfish7|'''Land''']][[User talk:Landfish7|'''fish7''']] 21:32, 18 May 2024 (UTC)

== Type Effectiveness ==
For future reference, the type effectiveness of Pokémon are based on how their type(s) fare against the other types, if a move like Freeze Dry has a different effectiveness against types, we don't cover that. --[[User:BigDocFan|BigDocFan]], Junior Admin Bulbapedia ([[User talk:BigDocFan|talk]]) 10:32, 20 May 2024 (UTC)
:Really? I thought it was a good idea. Why reject it? --[[User:CuteShaymin|CuteShaymin]] ([[User talk:CuteShaymin|talk]]) 18:00, 20 May 2024 (UTC)
::If we were to implement that change, that would involve changing over 1,000 pages. You are welcome to discuss this on the project talk page, namely the Project Pokédex part.--[[User:BigDocFan|BigDocFan]], Junior Admin Bulbapedia ([[User talk:BigDocFan|talk]]) 18:21, 20 May 2024 (UTC)

== Deceased characters ==

Deceased characters that only appear in flashbacks set in the distant past can be inferred to be deceased, so the characters you removed from the category are fine.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 05:28, 25 May 2024 (UTC)

== Second block ==

Hi. Due to your continuous [[edit warring]], this time on the [[Peony]], [[Peonia]], [[Penny]], and [[Rose]] pages, and your [[code of conduct|conduct]] towards others, you have been blocked from editing the site for 2 days, and will be blocked from editing those pages for 1 week to ensure that you discuss them before making further reverts or conflicting back-and-forth edits.

Please, instead of continuously reverting others, try to reach a resolution on talk pages first so that changes can be agreed on that will be most pleasant for everyone, and please do so in a polite and collaborative way. Note that talking down to other users is counter-productive and can drive away people who want to help contribute.

If you continue to edit war or talk down to users, your next block will be set at a minimum of 1 week or longer depending on the severity of the offense. If you are unsure how to handle a content dispute in the future, you are of course more than welcome to reach out to staff ''before'' taking matters into your own hands. Thank you. [[User:Landfish7|'''Land''']][[User talk:Landfish7|'''fish7''']] 05:47, 25 May 2024 (UTC)
:This site SUCKS. If you can't even bother to appreciate my hard work, you don't deserve it. This site can be left to rot. I'm outta here LOL --[[User:CuteShaymin|CuteShaymin]] ([[User talk:CuteShaymin|talk]]) 19:21, 25 May 2024 (UTC)
::You indeed are out of here, for a month at minimum. I hope that's enough time for you to reflect on this and accept that people disagreeing with you and staff telling you to adhere to the code of conduct isn't, in fact, people being out to get you. [[User:Glik|glik]][[User talk:Glik|glak]] 19:30, 25 May 2024 (UTC)

== Talk Page comments ==
I have restored the talk page comments. We only allow the removal of talk page comments in the cases of vandalism or if you plan to archive the talk page. Please do not remove the talk page comments unless you plan to archive your talk page. ''[[User:Frozen Fennec|Frozen]] [[User talk:Frozen Fennec|Fennec]]'' 05:35, 9 August 2024 (UTC)
:Quick followup since I got the wording wrong, I do apologize. {{bp|Talk page policy}} notes the proper process for how to move and archive the talk page. After archiving, make sure to leave a link to the talk page so the archived talk page can be seen. Hope you have a good week.

{{incomplete|article|Information about the Hero's role in the story for each game.}}
{{search|the protagonist in Pokémon Mystery Dungeon games|the Legendary Pokémon of Galar often referred to as heroes|legendary heroes}}
The '''hero Pokémon''' or '''hero''' is the protagonist and starting [[player character]] of the games in the [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series]]. It is accompanied by the {{md|partner Pokémon}}.

==Terminology==
===Hero Pokémon===
This is known as "'''hero Pokémon'''" in the manuals of [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team]]. For instance:

* ''"You can see how to control the '''hero Pokémon''' by reading this section."''
* ''"When you touch the '''hero Pokémon''', it takes one step in the direction it's facing."''

===Hero===
This has been shortened to "'''hero'''" in the manuals of [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time, Darkness]], and [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky|Sky]]. For instance:

* ''"{{p|Meowth}} and {{p|Munchlax}} are only candidates for the partner. They are not available as candidates for the '''hero'''."''
* ''"The '''hero''' moves by taking the shortest route and stops on reaching that spot."''
* ''"If the '''hero'''{{'}}s Belly is empty, the '''hero''' loses 1 HP on every turn."''

===Other terms===
The "'''leader'''" is the character currently being controlled by the player. Therefore, the hero Pokémon may or may not be the leader at a given point in time.

==In the games==
In the main storyline from the Rescue Team and Explorers titles, the hero is the only Pokémon that the player can control while the partner an other Pokémon (if any) follow the hero. In the post-game, the player is no longer required to play specifically as the hero, and can choose to play as any other Pokémon in the team, with the option to switch leaders while exploring the dungeon.

=== Personality and characteristics ===
The hero Pokémon rarely talks out loud; instead thinking to themselves in parenthecies. They lack a defined personality, because the player is intended to imagine themselves in their place.

=== Story role ===

==== Red Rescue Team, Blue Rescue Team, and Rescue Team DX ====
The hero first wakes up in the [[Tiny Woods]] to the voice of the partner. They tell the partner that they are a human, to which the partner points out that they look like a normal Pokémon. The hero is shocked by this, as they do not remember anything. Just then, [[Butterfree (Pokémon)|Butterfree]] comes shouting for help because her son [[Caterpie (Red and Blue Rescue Team)|Caterpie]] fell into a fissure and can't get out. The hero and partner head into the dungeon to rescue Caterpie. Afterwards, the partner says to the hero that since they don't have anywhere to go, they should follow them. The partner takes the hero to a vacant house that happens to be on the outskirts of [[Pokémon Square]]. There, the partner asks the hero if they would be interested in forming a [[Team|rescue team]] with them. The hero agrees, and the next day, they find the partner sleeping outside, having waited for the hero outside their house since dawn. The partner checks the mailbox and finds the Rescue Team Starter Kit inside, which contains the Toolbox and Rescue Team Badges. Then [[Pelipper (Red and Blue Rescue Team)|Pelipper]] comes and delivers a rescue request from [[Magnemite (Pokémon)|Magnemite]] at [[Thunderwave Cave]]. They travel there and rescue the two Magnemite. Two days later, they meet [[Diglett (Pokémon)|Diglett]], who is having fun digging tunnels outside. The next day, Diglett's father, [[Dugtrio (Pokémon)|Dugtrio]], informs them that he has been kidnapped by a Pokémon named [[Skarmory (Pokémon)|Skarmory]] and taken to the summit of [[Mt. Steel]]. When they go to confront Skarmory, it claims that it kidnapped Diglett because the recent earthquakes are caused by its kind. The hero and partner defeat Skarmory, but they have no idea how to rescue Diglett, who is trapped on a cliff on the other side. Just then, the two Magnemite they rescued earlier show up, and help lift Diglett out. The partner realizes that adding more members to the rescue team would be a good idea. The next day, they go to the Camp Corner, run by Wigglytuff, where he sells Camps for recruits to live at. There is a special deal for new rescue teams where they get three free Camps. However, at the request of Magnemite, Wigglytuff also throws in the Power Plant camp for free, giving them four free Camps. As they are heading back home, they see a [[Jumpluff (Pokémon)|Jumpluff]] asking [[Shiftry (Red and Blue Rescue Team)|Shiftry]] to rescue its Jumpluff friend. Shiftry initially refuses, but when [[Team A.C.T.]], a famous [[Rank (Mystery Dungeon)|Gold Rank]] rescue team consisting of [[Alakazam (Pokémon)|Alakazam]], [[Charizard (Pokémon)|Charizard]], and [[Tyranitar (Pokémon)|Tyranitar]], shows up, he is pressured into accepting Jumpluff's request. A few days later, [[Team Meanies]] shows up at the rescue team base and steals their mail. Later, Caterpie from before shows up at the rescue team base and asks them to rescue his friend [[Metapod (Red and Blue Rescue Team)|Metapod]] in [[Sinister Woods]]. Team Meanies then shows up, saying they'll be the first to rescue Metapod, and that Caterpie will join them as their reward since he has no [[Poké]] to give them. In Sinister Woods, Team Meanies tries to battle them to stop them from rescuing Metapod. They defeat Team Meanies however, and save Metapod. The next day, the Jumpluff from earlier has come seeking the rescue team's help because Shiftry never came back from the rescue mission. They head to the [[Silent Chasm]] to find Shiftry and Jumpluff. When they reach the end of the dungeon, they find Shiftry. However, [[Zapdos (Pokémon)|Zapdos]] soon appears and kidnaps Shiftry, challenging them to come to [[Mt. Thunder]] to rescue him.

==== Explorers of Time, Darkness, and Sky ====
The hero wakes up on the [[Beach (Explorers of Time, Darkness, and Sky)|beach]] outside of [[Treasure Town]] after the partner finds them lying unconscious there. Soon after, [[Koffing (Pokémon)|Koffing]] and [[Zubat (Pokémon)|Zubat]] of [[Team Skull (Mystery Dungeon)|Team Skull]] attack the partner and steal their [[Relic Fragment]], fleeing to [[Beach Cave]]. After the hero and partner get the Relic Fragment back, the partner suggests that the two of them join [[Wigglytuff's Guild]] together.

===Available Pokémon===
{{Incomplete|needs=It doesn't say which nature is associated with each Pokémon}}
In Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team|Red Rescue Team, Blue Rescue Team]], [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness|Explorers of Time, Explorers of Darkness]], and [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky|Explorers of Sky]], the player cannot directly choose their hero Pokémon. Instead, they have to complete a [[Personality Quiz (Mystery Dungeon)|personality quiz]], which then uses their gender and answers to determine which Pokémon they should be.

In the [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon (WiiWare)|Adventure Squad]] games and [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Gates to Infinity|Gates to Infinity]], the hero Pokémon is chosen manually.

In [[Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon]] and [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Rescue Team DX]], the player can choose the hero Pokémon directly or via a personality quiz.

==Plot==
{{main|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team#Plot|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team → Plot}}

==Blurb==
You can meet and recruit Pokémon in a dungeon-crawling adventure within their world! Build a rescue team to take on mysterious, changing dungeons and strategically plan your moves as you venture forth to make the Pokémon world a safer place…and uncover your true purpose along the way.

As you recruit Pokémon, these trusty teammates will need somewhere to stay, so build camps to house, manage, and strengthen your Pokémon friends. Think hard about who is right for the job and how to approach each mysterious dungeon as you prepare a rescue team. You’ll move a single square at a time or use Auto mode to speed up movement until you engage other Pokémon in turn-based battles—but don’t forget about Pokémon strengths and weaknesses! This version adds gorgeous watercolor-inspired graphics, and more! Get comfortable in being a Pokémon, there’s a lot of work to do.

* Wake up in the world of Pokémon and uncover your true purpose
* Dungeon layouts will change each time you enter them, so you’ll likely not have the same adventure twice
* Build a rescue team to explore dungeons and engage in strategic turn-based combat
* Pokémon are available to meet and recruit
* This version adds gorgeous watercolor-inspired graphics, and more!

==Features==
===Features inherited from later generations===
The following features have been inherited from later Mystery Dungeon games.
* [[TM]]s are once again a one time use item, and can no longer be {{m|Recycle}}d.
** Recycle now instead changes a {{DL|Seed|Plain Seed}} to a different [[Seed]] or an [[Oran Berry]].
* The maximum amount for a team entering a Dungeon is 3.
** However, the player can [[Recruitment|recruit defeated Pokémon]] until they have a party of 8. If the player already has 8 Pokémon on the team, they can choose to dismiss one of the Pokémon for the new one.
** Most legendary Pokémon will now be automatically recruited after their first or second defeat, as opposed to the original, where recruitment was a 50/50 chance.
* The player can rescue themselves if they are defeated in a dungeon, in addition to rescuing other players.
* Offensive move experience returns, with higher-level moves receiving increased power, accuracy and PP. Occasionally, any move may be used twice in a row, with the chance increasing the higher the user's Speed.
* [[Treasure Box|Treasure Boxes]] return, but are opened automatically upon leaving the dungeon.
* Fainted Pokémon can be found within dungeons. These Pokémon will always have a random [[Rare quality]] given to them.
* Certain Pokémon may be [[Gigantic Pokémon|Gigantic]], utilizing a 3×3 tile area around them.
* The {{t|Fairy}} type and foreign Pokémon evolutions related to the Pokémon of the first three Generations (such as {{p|Sylveon}} and {{p|Mantyke}}) are present in the game. {{p|Riolu}} and {{p|Lucario}} are also present in the game.
* [[Grass (type)|Grass]] type Pokémon are no longer affected by [[:Category:Powder and spore moves|powder moves]] and [[Spore (move)|Spore]].
* Pokémon may undergo [[Mega Evolution]] by using an [[Seed|Empowerment Seed]], as opposed to [[Emera|Awakening Emera]]s.
** There is no longer a time limit on the Awakened status, like there was in Super Mystery Dungeon. Instead, it lasts until the user gets inflicted with a status condition or exits the dungeon.
** Unlike Super, {{p|Groudon}} and {{p|Kyogre}} may also undergo [[Primal Reversion]] through this method.
* The Toolbox's size will increase with the player's rank.
* The player can now pre-set teams like in Super Mystery Dungeon, and the amount of these pre-sets is increased with rank.
* Teammates in camps will get experience points, even if they don't go on a mission.
* Prior to Boss encounters, the Rescue Team will be fully healed.

===New features===
* Auto mode: Pressing the L Button will automatically move the {{player}} and their [[team]] until an enemy is approached or the button is pressed again. If the player is near an enemy, they cannot enable auto mode.
* Using the A Button now selects the best move against an opponent.
* The typeless standard attack available in prior titles can no longer be used by the player.
* The game now autosaves per turn, can be loaded from inside dungeons.
* Evolutionary items have been replaced with Evolution Crystals which are consumed whenever a Pokémon with evolution requirements outside of level wishes to evolve.
* There will be a daily exploration bonus with one of the dungeons' names sparkling. The bonus will provide the player with extra [[Poké]] earned along with a higher probability of [[Treasure Box|Treasure Boxes]] being dropped.
* It is now possible to recruit defeated enemies that are up to two tiles away from the leader.
* New [[Wonder Orb]]s and [[Dungeon tile#Effect Tile|Trap]]s.
* Fainting in a dungeon now results in a total loss of all items and [[Poké|money]] that they had in the Toolbox.
* Enemy Pokémon that defeat an ally or other enemy Pokémon (in the case of {{p|Shedinja}} and certain targeting moves such as {{m|Earthquake}}) will no longer evolve, but instead become empowered (awakened) after the main story is completed. This can trigger [[Mega Evolution]], if applicable.
* Occasionally, a team member can repeat the move they previously used in the same turn. This is similar to the effect of the Barrage [[emera]] from [[Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon|Super Mystery Dungeon]].
* When defeating an enemy Pokémon with Linked Moves, they will only faint after the last move of the set it used.

====Rare qualities====
{{main|Rare quality}}
* Pokémon may now have [[Rare quality|rare qualities]], a passive bonus that affects the entire team within dungeons. This system replaces the [[IQ]] skills, [[Team Skill]]s, and [[Emera|Emeras]] from previous games.
* [[Gummi]]s have been shrunk to 2 varieties.
** Rainbow Gummis will raise a stat at random, and will sometimes give the Pokémon a new rare quality.
** DX Gummis will raise a stat at random, and will always give the Pokémon a new rare quality.
* Locked doors have been replaced by [[Mystery House|Mystery Houses]], unlocked through [[Invitation]]s rather than Keys. Unlocking these rooms gives the player multiple helpful items along with up to three random Pokémon with a rare quality. This is the only way to recruit {{p|Riolu}}.

====Strong foes and Shiny Pokémon====
* 27 dungeons, after being completed for the first time, have "strong foes" that may spawn. These enemies are at significantly higher levels than the other enemies and are guaranteed to drop a [[Treasure Box|Deluxe Box]] upon defeat. These Pokémon also have a chance of being [[Shiny Pokémon|Shiny]].
** [[Shiny Pokémon]] can only be recruited using the [[Friend Bow]].
** Non-shiny strong foes cannot be recruited, even if the Pokémon who defeats them is holding a Friend Bow.
** The only [[Shiny Pokémon]] not acquired through this method is {{mdc|Celebi|2}}, who can be recruited in [[Mystery House]]s in [[Western Cave]] after clearing [[Purity Forest]] for the first time.

===Differences from Red and Blue Rescue Team===
* A shortcut from the [[Team Base]] to the {{DL|Pokémon Square|Pelipper Post Office}} is created by {{p|Diglett}} the day after the completion of [[Thunderwave Cave]] for the first time
* {{p|Persian}} gives a reward once every day after a transaction at [[Felicity Bank]].
* {{p|Gulpin}}'s [[Link Shop]] now links moves for free.
** Linked moves that run out of PP do not automatically unlink the entire set anymore and will simply use the moves with remaining PP.
** After [[Sky Tower]] has been completed for the first time, [[Move Tutor]] moves may be learned through Gulpin, for some [[Poké]].
* {{p|Smeargle}} now allows the player to select from one of its 15 unique flag designs—or the player's original flag design—as opposed to cycling through its options. Smeargle can be also called as many times per day as the player likes.
* [[Rank (Mystery Dungeon)|Rescue Rank]]s have been revamped.
** The accommodation size for the various Friend Camps and the maximum {{OBP|Job|Mystery Dungeon|jobs}} that can be accepted at a time increase depending on the player's rank.
** The highest rank is no longer called Lucario Rank, but instead Grand Master.
* The [[Makuhita Dojo]] has been revamped. Only one Pokémon may enter at a time. They will be given a small, one floor dungeon with no staircase to explore.
** Pokémon can now only enter a maze that is the same name as their type. Dual-type Pokémon can choose between either of their types.
** The player is given a time limit and [[experience]] multiplier, depending on the ticket given.
*** Bronze Dojo Tickets give the player a 3× EXP and Move XP multiplier, and a 50-second time-limit.
*** Silver Dojo Tickets give the player a 5× EXP and Move XP multiplier, and a 55-second time-limit.
*** Gold Dojo Tickets give the player a 7× EXP and Move XP multiplier, and a 60-second time-limit.
*** Using a super-effective move against a Pokémon once will yield even more experience.
** Mazes have also been changed. Mazes contain Pokémon who are weak to the namesake maze type, except for the Normal Maze.
** If the Pokémon faints in the Dojo, it will be revived without the need of a Reviver Seed.
** No PP is consumed for using moves in the Dojo.
* [[Friend Area]]s and the {{DL|Pokémon Square|Wigglytuff Club}} are replaced by rescue team camps and [[Wigglytuff's Camp Corner]], respectively.
** The Sky-Blue Plains are now automatically given to the team, rather than needing to be unlocked randomly as a mission reward.
* In dungeons with multiple parts—such as [[Mt. Thunder]]—reaching a checkpoint will no longer count as "making it out" for recruited Pokémon. Additionally, the floor count does not reset.
*The speed at which HP regenerates over time is now inversely proportional to a Pokémon's max HP, rather than proportional to it, dropping to a minimum rate of 1 HP every 2 steps at 100 max HP. HP will also no longer regenerate on turns where moves or items were used.
* {{p|Munchlax}}'s cameo event can happen at any point in the story. Upon giving Munchlax an Apple, Munchlax will reward the player with unique [[Held item|held items]] or [[Gummi|Gummis]].
* The pool of TMs has been changed to match that of {{pkmn|Sun and Moon|Pokémon Sun, Moon}}, {{pkmn|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon}}.
* After [[Tiny Woods]] has been completed for the first time, players can switch leaders at any time in a dungeon by pushing +.
* In the original, all but nine fully evolved Pokémon could not be recruited and had to be obtained by evolution. Now, all wild fully evolved Pokémon can be directly recruited.
* The names of the player's main character, partner, and rescue team can be changed in the main menu, instead of them being stuck permanently.
* The four dungeons linked to Nintendo events or Wonder Mail codes—[[Oddity Cave]], [[Remains Island]], [[Fantasy Strait]], and [[Marvelous Sea]]—can now be accessed through normal gameplay.
** [[Oddity Cave]] can be accessed once the player has beaten [[Mt. Steel]] for the first time.
** [[Remains Island]] can be accessed once the player has beaten [[Sky Tower]] for the first time.
** [[Fantasy Strait]] and [[Marvelous Sea]] can be accessed once the player has beaten [[Western Cave]] for the first time.
* [[Illusory Grotto]] can be accessed briefly after the player has fainted and gives up rescue in a dungeon without having revival items anywhere. The number of floors and Pokémon encountered there vary.
* Some dungeons' lengths have been changed; most notably, Western Cave is now only 20 floors, as opposed to 99, while [[Mt. Faraway]] is now 60 floors instead of 40.
* The later dungeons, such as Far-Off Sea and Waterfall Pond, no longer require a team member to know specific HMs or have a specific type to be accessed.
* Wild Pokémon in dungeons can now have more HP than normal, with their HP returning to normal when they are recruited. Additionally, their movesets may also change when recruited.
** This is especially noticeable in [[Unown Relic]], where all of the wild Unown are level 37, which would normally result in an HP of 65, but in later floors they can have over 200 HP.
* {{p|Deoxys}} can now remember level-up moves from Gulpin.

==Characters==
===Playable characters===
{{Incomplete|needs=Information on which personality quiz results assign which Pokemon in Rescue Team DX}}
The {{player}} is able to choose one of the 16 returning Pokémon from the original game as their {{pkmn2|hero}} and partner Pokémon. However, the partner cannot be the same [[type]] as the player. The player may, as in the prior [[Nintendo DS]] titles, choose the player Pokémon using a [[Personality Quiz (Mystery Dungeon)|personality quiz]], or as in the [[Wii|WiiWare]] and [[Nintendo 3DS]] titles, choose a Pokémon themselves. Unlike the original games, the player character choices are not restricted by the player's selected [[gender]] and the partner is not restricted to first partner Pokémon anymore.

==Plot==
{{spoilers}}
=== Forming an Exploration Team===
The story begins with a cut-scene where the {{player}} winds up unconscious on a beach after some unknown accident. Meanwhile, the partner is nervous about joining the [[Wigglytuff's Guild]], a local exploration club, and gives up early. Walking along the beach, the partner encounters the player, and informs that the player has been turned into a Pokémon. The [[Relic Fragment]] the partner holds is then stolen by {{p|Zubat}} and {{p|Koffing}}, members of {{OBP|Team Skull|Mystery Dungeon}}, which the player helps recover. After a brief exchange, the partner explains their motivation for joining the guild: the partner loves legends and lore and their life dream is to find the secret of their personal treasure—a Relic Fragment with a strange pattern on it. The partner, reinvigorated by the player's courage, resolves to join the Guild as a new team with the player, who, due to having obtained severe memory loss that erased everything from their past life except their name and the knowledge that they were once human, agrees as a way to piece together who they were.

Over the next few days, the team gets accustomed to life at the Guild and the nearby [[Treasure Town]]. Among the folks they meet are {{mdc|Wigglytuff|2}}, the kindhearted Guild Master, {{mdc|Chatot|2}}, the hot-tempered yet well-meaning second-in-command, {{mdc|Bidoof|2}}, the newest recruit prior to the team joining, senior apprentices {{p|Corphish}} and {{mdc|Sunflora|2}}, the Guild chef {{p|Chimecho}} (also in charge of maintaining the team), {{p|Diglett}} and {{mdc|Loudred|2}}, the Guild sentries, {{p|Dugtrio}}, maintainers of the job boards, {{p|Magnezone}}, the local sheriff, brothers {{p|Marill}} and {{p|Azurill}}, various shop owners, and other exploration teams. As they are introduced to the Guild, they learn of the fact that rogue Pokémon have been wreaking havoc in the world due to the disruption of time, Pokémon cannot [[evolution|evolve]], and new "Mystery Dungeons" have been revealed and open to exploration.

The player discovers not too long after that they have the ability to spontaneously see things in the past and future, but only when touching an object of some kind. This comes in handy when the player and partner arrest {{mdc|Drowzee|2}} when he attempts to manipulate Azurill into collecting some treasure for him. Later, the partner tells the player the story of the [[Time Gear]]s, the artifacts that maintain the flow of time in their respective regions. The partner theorizes that if a Time Gear is stolen, time in that area will stop. Despite this, a mysterious thief is seen stealing a Time Gear.

After several days of completing minor jobs, Chatot gives the player and partner their first real job: the exploration of [[Waterfall Cave|a nearby waterfall]] that he feels holds more than it lets on. Discovering a cave on the other side and exploring to its depths, they discover that it houses a huge gem. However, their attempts to remove it result in them triggering a bobby trap that flushes them off to a nearby [[Hot Spring]]. Despite being unable to claim the gem, Chatot and the partner are convinced that the cave alone is a major find for the Guild. However, the player, after piecing together several visions their ability caused (and Chatot later confirms), discerns that Wigglytuff had already discovered the cave, but had completely forgotten by the time they were told to go.

===The legend of the Time Gears===

One day, the player and partner, along with the Guild, make an expedition to a location called [[Fogbound Lake]], a lake seemingly covered in fog. During this time, they draw the ire of Team Skull, in particular their leader {{p|Skuntank}}, whom decide to make their lives a living hell, including tricking Wigglytuff to let them join the expedition for that purpose. Arriving there, the player recalls the place as being familiar, but cannot ascertain as to why. This point is pushed home when Chimecho relays the story of the [[Lake guardians|Lake Guardian]], {{mdc|Uxie|2}}, who is said to be able to erase the memories of all who arrive there. Convinced that their memory loss is due to having a negative encounter with Uxie, the player, along with the partner, resolves to find Fogbound Lake in order to discern the truth. After escaping a trap from Team Skull (who are, in turn, assaulted by Wigglytuff after he discerns their true intentions), the two reach the top, where they find and defeat {{p|Groudon}} to find out that it was only an illusion made by Uxie. Uxie does not trust the Guild, fearing that they may take the Time Gear at the center of the lake, hence the reason for erasing the memories. However, after an appeal from the partner, the Guild earns Uxie's trust, and Uxie decides not to erase the memories of the Guild or the lake's treasure. However, Uxie also reveals that he had nothing to do with the player's memory loss due to never having met a human before and the fact that, as far as he knows, he can only erase memories of Fogbound Lake.

Returning home, they meet a famous explorer named {{mdc|Dusknoir|2}}, who, after helping the team escape another trap by Team Skull (they had overheard Marill and Azurill talking to them about a personal item going missing and, upon retrieving it first, intended to use it to have them eliminated by a territorial {{p|Luxray}}), explains that the player's ability to see through time is called the [[Dimensional Scream]]. Asking Dusknoir how the player had arrived in their condition, they surprisingly get no results. Nevertheless, Dusknoir offers their help in uncovering the secret behind the player's transformation. Just then, however, the Guild reports that the Time Gear from Fogbound Lake has been stolen, and an all-points bulletin has been posted for the arrest of {{mdc|Grovyle|2}}. As a result, Wigglytuff has the Guild focus their energies on bringing Grovyle to justice, to which Dusknoir also offers his assistance. The Guild splits up to look for the other Time Gears, while the player's team eventually discovers an underground lake beneath the [[Northern Desert]], which is home to a Time Gear. The Time Gear is guarded over by {{p|Mesprit}}, who the team is forced to defeat when she mistakes them for thieves. Just as the partner explains that they are not there to steal the Time Gear, Grovyle appears. Grovyle easily dispatches the team and the weakened Mesprit, and steals the Time Gear. Fortunately, the team and Mesprit manages to escape before they are frozen in time.

Back at the guild, the failure of the team to stop Grovyle meant that there are no leads to his next location. However, Dusknoir determines that, as Uxie, the being of knowledge, and Mesprit, the being of emotion, were both guarding Time Gears, it stands to reason that {{p|Azelf}}, the being of willpower, is likely to be guarding another Time Gear. Dusknoir further explains that as Uxie and Mesprit were encountered in lakes not likely to be where they were, Azelf is also likely to be found in a similar lake area. Hoping to find a lead, Dusknoir asks the player to touch a treasure that Bidoof took with him at [[Crystal Cave]], in order to trigger a Dimensional Scream. Indeed, after touching it, the player sees a vision where Azelf is defeated at the hands of Grovyle. However, Chimecho is unsure—because the Dimensional Scream cannot tell the difference between past and future, Grovyle may have already made off with the Time Gear. Dusknoir remains confident that it is of the future, as the partner had never heard Azelf's name before Dusknoir had mentioned it. Because there is a chance that the Dimensional Scream is describing the future, the Guild decides to have all hands search the cave. The team arrives at the lake in the middle of the cave, where they find Azelf about to be defeated by Grovyle. However, just as Grovyle is about to steal the Time Gear, Azelf, having been forewarned of Grovyle's intentions from Uxie and Mesprit and anticipating the possibility that he might not be able to slow him down, activates a fail-safe trap that covers the lake in crystals, preventing Grovyle from submerging underwater and reaching the Time Gear. This does not deter Grovyle, and the team is knocked unconscious and the partner is badly wounded. Before Grovyle can finish the partner off, Dusknoir appears. The team discovers that Dusknoir and Grovyle have been long acquainted, but before they can delve any further, Grovyle makes his getaway, and Dusknoir chases after the Pokémon. Just then, the Guild finds the team, and cart them back to the guild.

Some time later, the team reawakens back at the guild. The partner recalls the exchange between Dusknoir and Grovyle, and the information is shared with the Guild and Azelf. Just then, the Guild's emergency alarm sounds, requiring everyone to be in attendance at a town meeting. In town, they find Dusknoir, who reminds everyone that Grovyle is still at large. Dusknoir further claims that Grovyle is a Pokémon [[Time travel|from the future]]—there, Grovyle was a criminal who fled to the past to avoid being captured. In order to prevent any pursuers from coming after him, he plots to steal the Time Gears, which in turn would freeze the world in time, thus causing the planet's paralysis, a dystopian world where water would not flow, the sun would not rise, the seasons would not change, and darkness would cover the world. When Corphish is curious as to how Dusknoir knows all of this, Dusknoir reveals that he, too, is from the future, sent back in time to capture Grovyle and bring him to justice. The Guild and townsfolk all agree to help Dusknoir stop Grovyle. Azelf has a plan to trap Grovyle—as the Time Gear in Crystal Lake still remains, he is certain that Grovyle will return for it. In order to lure Grovyle, the townsfolk spread a false rumor that the lake trio will try to seal the Time Gear away permanently, while the trio will be defending the Time Gear, awaiting the moment to get the jump on Grovyle. Although everyone wants to help, Dusknoir insists on doing so alone as to avoid suspicion.

A few days later, a report from Magnezone arrives, indicating that Grovyle has been captured, and that Dusknoir plans to take Grovyle back to the future to face justice. To do so, Dusknoir has opened a Dimensional Hole in the middle of town square. In town, the townsfolk find the Dimensional Hole, but no sign of Dusknoir. As the lake trio explain to the partner that the Time Gears were recovered and were returned, Dusknoir appears with Grovyle and two {{p|Sableye}}. As Grovyle is carted off into the Dimensional Hole, Dusknoir gives his farewell. But before he steps through the portal, he asks the player's team to step forward. When they step next to the portal, the partner bids Dusknoir a sad farewell, but then, Dusknoir suddenly grabs the team and drags them into the portal. Before the townsfolk can react, the Dimensional Hole closes and disappears suddenly.

===Escape from the future===
The player is woken up by the partner, who reveals that they have been locked in a cell. Just then, they encounter some guards—a group of Sableye. Six Sableye blindfold them and take them to another room, where they find themselves bound to a pole, awaiting execution. Along with the two is Grovyle, also tied up. Dusknoir appears, giving the orders to the Sableye to execute the three. Grovyle convinces the team to cooperate - while the Sableye to attack the ropes that tie them to the stake, there is a slight chance of breaking the ropes, and it may allow the three to escape. Fortunately, the ropes break free, and the three overwhelm the Sableye. This allows Grovyle to use a {{DL|Wonder Orb|Luminous Orb}}, and take the team to safety. Back outside, Grovyle reveals that they are indeed in the future, but despite the lake trio returning the Time Gears back to their original places, the planet has been paralyzed.

Continuing to elude the Sableye, the partner loses confidence on whether they will ever return home. The player then proposes to the partner to catch up to Grovyle, who had gone ahead due to the partner's reluctance to trust him, and ask how he had traveled back to the past in the first place. They eventually catch up to Grovyle, and save him from the {{p|Spiritomb}} who had knocked him out earlier. Though Grovyle is reluctant to help them, he proceeds to tell his side of the story. The world's paralysis dated back to the present day with the collapse of the [[Temporal Tower]], governed by {{mdc|Dialga|2}}, the legendary Pokémon that controls time. When the tower collapsed, Dialga lost control of time, and it too lost all control of itself. Dialga turned berserk, becoming [[Primal Dialga]]. Seeking only self-preservation, Primal Dialga tries to prevent history from changing, and hence its need to exterminate Grovyle. The partner is visibly shocked by this revelation—and even more so when Grovyle reveals that he had pure motivations for collecting the Time Gears: he needed them in order to prevent the tower from collapsing and that the time stop caused by the removal of the Time Gears is merely temporary—the area affected would return to normal once the gears were placed in Temporal Tower. This story contradicts Dusknoir's claims, and Grovyle then reveals that Dusknoir is an agent of Primal Dialga sent to stop him, and had everyone in the past played for fools.

Though the partner does not believe Grovyle, the player believes that Grovyle's assertions are reasonable, and that the partner cannot seem to accept the truth. The partner even thought of going back to the stockade and ask Dusknoir to reveal the truth, but Grovyle stops them by reminding them that, due to their hesitance to trust him, they would decide for themselves what best to do. Grovyle leaves to find {{mdc|Celebi|2}}, the time-traveling Pokémon, to start his mission anew. Although the player is determined to follow Grovyle, the partner is more reluctant. Nevertheless, the partner agrees to follow, if only to find a way to return to the present. The group eventually manages to find Celebi, who seems to also be aware of who the player is. However, Grovyle didn't hear what Celebi said, and before the team can react, Grovyle reminds the team to get a move on. Celebi leads the group to the Passage of Time—a secret corridor spanning multiple dimensions that Celebi needs for major time jumps. However, before they can go through the passage, they are stopped by Dusknoir and the Sableye, who had caught up to them. Surrounded, the group has no choice but to overpower Dusknoir and the Sableye. However, when Primal Dialga appears, Grovyle, believing that they are outmatched, has no choice but to surrender, but, before they can go down, he contends that at least hope will remain: when he first traveled back to the past, he and his human partner had been separated, and he is confident this partner will carry out the mission in his stead. Dusknoir, however, believes otherwise, and forces Grovyle to tell the name of his partner - the player. The partner is surprised at this revelation—and Grovyle and Celebi are even more surprised that the player is standing with them. Grovyle refuses to believe that the player has been turned into a Pokémon, but Dusknoir relays his plan to eliminate the player and Grovyle: during his attempts to track the two in the past, Dusknoir ran into the player and, upon discovering their current condition, befriended the team and the Guild so he can trick the player into unknowingly betraying Grovyle, paving the way for him to destroy both of them (and the partner, whom he had likely felt had gotten too close) in one shot. The plan worked to perfection as the player's damaged memory prevented them from recognizing Dusknoir for the villain he was.

While Grovyle is emotionally crushed by both his plans failing and having unconsciously attacked his own partner and the player struggles to process what they heard about their past, the partner has a plan to elude Dusknoir and his underlings—all that is needed is to have Celebi teleport them closer to the Passage. Although Celebi recognizes that Dialga could detect them, Celebi agrees to the partner's idea. They fail to escape Dusknoir, but they get to the Passage. Celebi implores the rest of the group to leave through the Passage, leaving Dusknoir to herself. It is believed that Celebi managed to elude capture as the group returned back to the present.

===Racing the clock===
Arriving back to the present, the partner explains that the beach that they are on was where the player was first found. However, before the partner can lead Grovyle back to the Guild to plan their next move, he reminds them that in the present time, Grovyle is a criminal. The partner, seeing the complications this may cause, instead takes the player and Grovyle to a cliff known as [[Sharpedo Bluff]] (named as the cliff is in the shape of a {{p|Sharpedo}}), which was the home of the partner prior to joining the Guild. That night, Grovyle explains to the partner the common history between himself and the player. The player and Grovyle had been a formidable team investigating the planet's paralysis. The player had the ability to perform the Dimensional Scream, but only in the presence of a trusted partner. Grovyle further explains that the Dimensional Scream is set off by triggers tied to places where Time Gears were hidden. The partner, however, is unsure how accurate Grovyle's statement is: the Dimensional Scream was going off not long after the two of them met and, in several instances, it had gone off in places unrelated to Time Gears. Grovyle is undeterred and states that this is likely due to the player, because of the memory loss, found the partner as a strong support system and theorizes that perhaps the Dimensional Screams had worked differently in the past. In any event, the three quickly agree to plot a new plan to take the Time Gears.

Later, the partner shares their story of the Relic Fragment with Grovyle and the two share a sunrise. Grovyle and the partner agree that the player has a connection to the both of them - the player had made each of them stronger. The trio redoubles their efforts to retake the Time Gears, starting with the one in Treeshroud Forest, where Grovyle had found the one unguarded. However, after arriving there, they find that, despite the presence of the Time Gear, time has stopped—a sign that Temporal Tower is already starting to collapse. That night, back at Sharpedo Bluff, the partner reveals, after a fact-finding mission, that time in other places is also stopped, despite the return of the Time Gears. It appears that the only way to restore time is to take the Time Gears to Temporal Tower. This is easier said than done though: the Tower is located in the [[Hidden Land]], and, as the name suggests, no one knows where the Hidden Land is. Therefore, while Grovyle gathers the remaining Time Gears, the player and partner are to search for any leads on the Hidden Land's location.

Desperate, and running out of options and time, the player convinces the partner to return back to the Guild. The Guild is surprised to find that the team has returned, but is more surprised when the team reveals their story. Chatot, however, acts unconvinced and tries to write it off as shock fueled exhaustion from the two of them going through time, but when the rest of the Guild sides with them due to inconsistencies between the image Dusknoir presented and the actions he took after Grovyle was caught, he reveals it was nothing more than a test in the Guild's faith in the team. With them understanding what the world’s fate will be, the Guild agrees to help search for the Hidden Land, and tells the lake trio to allow Grovyle to reclaim the Time Gears they guard. The team is recommended by Wigglytuff to see {{mdc|Torkoal|2}}, the town elder, for advice on finding the Hidden Land. At the hot springs, Torkoal reveals that the Hidden Land is a place beyond the oceans, but also a place which only appears to those with sufficient "proof". However, Torkoal does not recall what is needed for such "proof". The next day, however, Torkoal arrives at the Guild Hall with one new recollection—the "proof" is an inscription of a certain pattern—the same pattern found in the Relic Fragment. What is more surprising is that Wigglytuff and Chatot have also seen the same pattern—found in a distant place called [[Brine Cave]], where bandits had scared the two in an earlier adventure. Nevertheless, the Guild decides to make an expedition to Brine Cave. Meanwhile, the team hears word that Grovyle has taken all the Time Gears, but warns that Dusknoir may also return from the future to hunt them down.

The next day, The Guild (without Wigglytuff, who had left the day before to 'take care of some business') arrives at Brine Cave, where they split up to reach the innermost part, with Chatot following the team. However, partway into the cave, they are ambushed by Team Skull, who coerced the information out of Torkoal and steal the Relic Fragment with the intention of going to the Hidden Land simply for the glory of finding it. Though Chatot gives chase and manages to catch them, by the time the team manages to catch up, they find both Team Skull and Chatot severely wounded, due to themselves having been ambushed by two {{p|Omastar}} and {{p|Kabutops}}. After dispatching them, the team tend to Chatot. Just then, Wigglytuff and Grovyle arrive, with the rest of the Guild in tow. Wigglytuff is particularly concerned, as Chatot had been severely injured by the Omastar and Kabutops protecting Wigglytuff in their last trip to Brine Cave. Urging the team and Grovyle to continue, the Guild return home to tend to Chatot's wounds. Further in, the team discovers a rock wall pointing out to sea, on which is a wall pattern similar to the one found on the Relic Fragment. When the Relic Fragment is presented, a light shines out towards the sea. Just then, a {{mdc|Lapras|2}} arrives and informs them that they have been chosen to head to the Hidden Land. At the same time, back at the Guild, Wigglytuff explains to the Guild the story of how he and Chatot had previously encountered the pattern on the Relic Fragment: Chatot had been injured by Omastar and Kabutops while protecting Wigglytuff. Though Wigglytuff had fended off the Omastar and Kabutops, he had felt helpless because he could not help Chatot. Just then, Lapras had appeared to help Chatot on the condition that they not explore the wall pattern further. Back with the team, Lapras, while ferrying the team and Grovyle, explains that she is the gatekeeper to the Hidden Land, a land that exists in a different dimension—within a moment of time. The Hidden Land is as such because Dialga had feared that interference by exploration teams or bad Pokémon could affect the flow of time. Dialga had, however, left one key to entering the Hidden Land, within the Relic Fragment. Wigglytuff had known this, and had realized that the promise to Lapras could not be kept in the interest of saving the world, and thus had set off towards Brine Cave ahead of the Guild to find Lapras. Lapras explained to Wigglytuff then that the Relic Fragment chooses who may visit the Hidden Land, and it had chosen the partner due to the partner's purity of heart. Now, it lies upon the team to explore the land and save the world.

===Saving the world===
Arriving at the Hidden Land, Lapras tells them that in order to reach Temporal Tower, they must take the Rainbow Stoneship, located inside an old ruin. Finding the ruin, the partner is astounded at what they can find—pictures of legendary Pokémon {{p|Mew}}, {{p|Kyogre}}, {{p|Groudon}}, Dialga, and {{p|Palkia}} engraved on the wall. Proceeding further, they find a temple where, at the top, they find the Ruin Fragment pattern. The team discovers that the temple itself is the Rainbow Stoneship, and in order for the ship to operate, the Relic Fragment must be slotted in one of the indentations. But before the partner can do so, they are captured by Dusknoir and the Sableye entourage, whom, after discerning that they would likely wind up there, had Primal Dialga warp them there directly. Dusknoir takes their captives to a nearby Dimensional Hole, but before the team can be put through it, they overwhelm the Sableye, prompting Dusknoir to fight back. The team is able to defeat Dusknoir in battle, but while the partner goes to activate the Rainbow Stoneship, Dusknoir pulls out one final trump card: he warns that should they succeed in their quest, the Pokémon of the future, including himself, the player and Grovyle, will be erased from existence because they are from a future that will no longer exist. Grovyle admits that this is the case, but that their sacrifice is worth the trouble if it means that the future can be saved. The player accepts this fate, even though they know that the partner will not take it as easily as the player or Grovyle.

Meanwhile, the partner succeeds in activating the Rainbow Stoneship, but Dusknoir manages to recover and attack the player before either the player or Grovyle is on board. Just as Dusknoir tries to finish off the player, Grovyle intervenes. In a move of desperation, Grovyle pushes Dusknoir towards the Dimensional Hole, hoping that in his own sacrifice, Grovyle will erase Dusknoir from existence. Dropping the Time Gears, Grovyle pushes Dusknoir and himself through the Dimensional Hole, but not without giving his last goodbye. The partner recovers the Time Gears, and the team proceed on the Rainbow Stoneship, with the player keeping silent to the partner about their fate. With a heavy heart, the team head towards Temporal Tower to take on their final mission.

Arriving at the top of Temporal Tower as the tower itself is collapsing, they find a mystical relic with five indentations. Before the partner slots in the Time Gears into the indentations, the team is attacked by none other than Dialga, having just gone berserk but is shifting in and out of varying stages of sanity. Realizing that there is no reasoning with Dialga, the team prepare to battle it out to the end. After a long battle, Dialga is defeated, and the partner takes the opportunity to install the Time Gears. The earthquakes destroying the tower eventually stop, and Dialga is restored back to normal. Dialga quickly uses its powers to restore the world back to normal, though Temporal Tower remains heavily damaged. Dialga explains that the world's paralysis has been prevented with the installation of the Time Gears, and that peace has been restored. Dialga says its thanks to the team, but also warns that the world can only be back to normal in time. Dialga shows the team out of the Temporal Tower, where the Rainbow Stoneship and Lapras are awaiting them for their ride home.

On the way back, the player feels the effects of being slowly erased from existence. The partner notices this, and wonders what is wrong. The player says their goodbyes, regretting that the partner was kept in the dark on the player's situation and requests that they inform everyone what had happen in order to prevent another incident. The player slowly fades out of existence as the partner makes their tearful goodbye. The partner returns home, crying, but knowing that the player has made the partner stronger. Back home, the partner tells the townsfolk and the guild everything—how they had traveled across the [[Hidden Land]], how Grovyle and the player had sacrificed themselves, and how they had saved the world.

Months have passed since the incident, and the damages from time have slowly been healed, and life has returned to normal for most... but not for the partner, still mourning over the player's disappearance. At the beach, the partner is taking a walk, when the partner is reminded of the player and their adventures together, and how now the player is gone—erased from existence. The partner collapses on the beach out of extreme sadness, and starts crying. The end credits roll at this point.

After the credits, Dialga feels the partner's great sorrow in the distance. Using its powers, Dialga brings the player back to life as thanks for bringing it back in control. The player reappears at the beach, where the partner and Bidoof, who was concerned about the partner when they failed to return in time for dinner, are overjoyed to find the player alive.

===Post-game story===
As with previous games, there is a post-credits story. Several months after the player was brought back, Wigglytuff decides that the player's team is ready for an exam to qualify for graduation from the Guild (apparently only accepting one team per year and ahead of the others as Wigglytuff and Chatot view them saving the world as higher qualification). They are told to go find the treasure found in [[Luminous Spring]], a place where Pokémon used to go to evolve, but are also warned to avoid the "grand master of all things bad" who lives there with his minions. Although Loudred is not allowed to speak of the test, having failed it the year before, {{p|Ursaring}} and {{p|Teddiursa}}, two Treasure Town locals, claim of going to the springs before and meeting no such "Grand Master". Upon reaching the spring, the team run into Ursaring and Teddiursa and conclude that the "Grand Master" does not exist before falling into the lair of the "Grand Master", who turns out to be none other than Wigglytuff and the guild members (revealed due to a slip up by Bidoof), though they continue to (poorly) deny it till the end. After defeating the whole guild, the team continues their journey with Ursaring and Teddiursa. They find that the treasure is actually a {{DL|Food (Mystery Dungeon)|Perfect Apple}} left in a chest by Wigglytuff himself (through the help of the player's Dimensional Scream). They also find the Luminous Spring to be able to evolve Pokémon again, as Teddiursa evolves into an Ursaring after she steps into the spring and made her choice to evolve. The team, however, is told by the voice of the spring that they couldn't evolve yet, due to space being distorted. Later, they return the treasure to the guild and graduate, finding that the only benefit is that they can explore on their own and change the group leader, but they still have to give most of their reward money to the guild. Having graduated, the team moves their headquarters to Sharpedo Bluff.

Then, {{p|Mr. Mime}} appears in Treasure Town stating the famous explorer {{p|Scizor}} has been missing in a place called the [[Blizzard Island]]. The team pays a visit and finds Scizor frozen solid by a possessive {{p|Froslass}}. After they rescue Scizor, Scizor gives the team the "[[Rank (Mystery Dungeon)|Secret Rank]]" which the team and everyone else knows nothing about. This rank is used for the 7 dungeons home to the great [[Seven Treasures]].

One day, the player finds Corphish at the Guild's intersection, saying to go talk to Sunflora about something. When Sunflora is found on the lower level, she says that there is a Mystery Dungeon that has recently become possible to enter. This dungeon is called the [[Surrounded Sea]], supposedly home to hundreds of rare treasures brought by the currents that run through it. At the end of Surrounded Sea, there are three Deluxe Boxes and a {{pkmn|Egg|Wonder Egg}}. The next morning, the Egg hatches into a {{p|Manaphy}}. The team goes to see Chatot, who says that Manaphy are extremely rare. This makes the team take extra good care of it. A day later, the team takes Manaphy for a walk by the beach, which makes baby Manaphy incredibly happy. That night, however, when the team is asleep, Manaphy stays up and longingly stares out at the sea, eventually resorting to go to the shore. When the team wakes and finds Manaphy missing in the morning, they run around in a panic, trying to find it. They finally find it at the beach, where it suddenly keels over in the sand. Once the team reports to Chatot, the bird says that Manaphy are really supposed to grow up in the ocean. However, Manaphy's current ailment could only be cured by the Phione Dew, located in [[Miracle Sea]]. At the end of the dungeon, there are six {{p|Phione}}, who are driven away suddenly by an enraged, treasure-seeking {{p|Gyarados}}. After defeating Gyarados, he runs away, and in their thanks, the Phione gives the player the Phione Dew. After Manaphy is cured and with a few days of rest, a Pokémon named {{p|Walrein}} is told by Chatot to take care of Manaphy under the sea. With a tearful farewell, Manaphy is taken to its home.

After a couple of days of plain jobs, [[Team Charm]] pays a visit to the Guild. Team Charm consists of {{p|Lopunny}}, {{p|Medicham}}, and {{p|Gardevoir}}. This trio is legendary for their rank, which is the Master Rank, and for their style of treasure hunting. A former member, surprisingly, is Wigglytuff. Team Charm came because they're stuck on a hunt for treasure because they don't have a key to a specific dungeon, [[Aegis Cave]]. They ask Wigglytuff and Wigglytuff "claims" that he doesn't have it. But just before everyone thinks Team Charm will leave, Lopunny gives Wigglytuff a Perfect Apple and Wigglytuff finds the key with a big bang from his room. When Team Charm is leaving, everyone asks if they can go to Aegis Cave, including the player's team. Lopunny, the leader of Team Charm, agrees and says everyone can go after they open Aegis Cave with the key. The treasure of Aegis Cave is guarded by three legendary beings, {{p|Regice}}, {{p|Regirock}}, and {{p|Registeel}}. After defeating them, Team Charm, who went on ahead but were defeat by Registeel, assists the player in fighting {{p|Regigigas}} and several {{p|Bronzong}} and {{p|Hitmonlee}}. Upon their defeat, a tremor suddenly hits the cave, forcing everyone to flee. Though initially disheartened at the prospect of failing the treasure hunt, they notice that a separate cave has opened nearby and realize that Aegis Cave was nothing more than a distraction to keep others away from where the treasure really was, though Team Charm concedes the credit to the player's team before departing.

Later, a Pokémon named '{{p|Cresselia}}' appears in the player's dreams and tells the player that their existence is causing a distortion in space due to being from a future that no longer exists. At the same time, she also appears in the partner's dreams and makes the same claim based on the partner having traveled to the altered future. Though they initially dismiss this, the player and partner later discover that Azurill is trapped within a nightmare and is unable to wake up. As they and the Guild struggle to come up with a solution, a stray comment Bidoof makes about entering the dream causes the player and partner to seek out Drowzee, the first criminal they ever caught. Finding him on a spiritual quest to try and atone for his criminal past, Drowzee is initially hesitant to help, but the partner convinces him when they reveal Azurill's condition. Upon entering Azurill's nightmare (in itself [[The Nightmare|another Mystery Dungeon]]), the encounter 'Cresselia' again, who tells them that the only way the nightmare and the distortion can be ended is if they disappeared. This devastates the partner emotionally to the point that they consider going through with it, but the player points out several inconsistencies with this: there is no proof that what 'she' said is guaranteed to actually work and that even though the space distortion is similar to what happened with Temporal Tower, the player's earlier sacrifice was nothing more than a byproduct necessary to ensure their dark future didn't come to pass.

Determined to find an answer that doesn't involve them disappearing, the team visits Lapras, who reveals that Palkia, the master of space, might hold some clue as to how to fix it. On the night before going to Palkia for an explanation, Palkia itself attacks the team, spiriting them away to its domain, the [[Spacial Rift]]. They battle Palkia for answers, but it gets trapped in a nightmare. After being sent inside Palkia's nightmare, 'Cresselia' tries to finish off the team, but when Palkia, who had been told in its own dreams that the player and partner were a threat, begins to question whether 'her' claims on the matter were accurate, it is stopped by another Cresselia, who reveals that the first was an impostor by the name of {{mdc|Darkrai|2}}, who reveals itself to be the one distorting space. When Cresselia attempts to subdue Darkrai, he escapes, though he invites the team to confront him at a volcanic dungeon called the [[Dark Crater]].

As Palkia attempts to regain control of the space distortion from Spacial Rift, Cresselia and the team head back to Treasure Town, where Cresselia uses her power to pull Azurill out of his nightmare as well. Although Darkrai invites the team to stop him, Cresselia, who reveals that their 'space distortion' was too small for anyone (even Palkia) to consider it a serious threat, that Darkrai was also behind Temporal Tower's sabotage, and that he was harassing the team out of fear that they might once again interfere with his plans, thinks it is a trap because normally Darkrai would run away when found, doing his work in the shadows and only coming out to finish the job. The team decides to heed Darkrai's call, and Darkrai reveals his plans: by stopping time or space, the world would stop and be covered in darkness, and all Pokémon would share an everlasting nightmare, in which Darkrai would rule. In addition to this, Darkrai also reveals that he had been responsible for the player's very own transformation and memory loss: having discovered the player and Grovyle's imminent arrival from the future, Darkrai attacks the two while they were going through time, but the player protected Grovyle from the attack, which led them to becoming a Pokémon; because Darkrai assumed what he did to the player was sufficient, he disregarded the idea that they might find out what was happening and interfere again, resulting in his initial plan failing. Darkrai lets the team decide if they want to join him ruling the world in darkness. The partner apparently decides that it's useless to resist, so they decide to join Darkrai, but this event is not real. The player realizes this is just another illusion, and breaks free of it. With the partner back on the player's side, the team battles Darkrai and his minions and wins. Darkrai attempts to flee through a Dimensional Hole, but Palkia arrives and attempts to stop Darkrai from leaving by unleashing an attack on him. Instead of destroying him, he attacks the Dimensional Hole, thus erasing Darkrai's memories, much like what happened to the player. Certain that Darkrai has no memory of his evil ambitions, Palkia, foreseeing no other reason to return, heads back to Spatial Rift while the player and partner return to Treasure Town to get back to their usual exploration team duties.

==Wonder Mail exclusives==
Like the previous [[Mystery Dungeon]] games, some dungeons are unlocked through [[Wonder Mail]] codes. However, unlike those in the previous game, the bosses (listed below) are obtained through these codes. There is no reward, other than the treasure, for the Guardians of the [[Seven Treasures]]. They are all top-secret and self-deleting. {{p|Gabite}}'s is more like a normal Wonder Mail mission. To take any of these {{OBP|Job|Mystery Dungeon|jobs}}, players must have gained Secret Rank, excluding the mission involving Gabite.

==Trivia==
* Unlike the previous [[Mystery Dungeon]] games, which only had a few characters with confirmed [[gender]]s, this game provides a gender for most of the characters. Even [[Legendary Pokémon]], who are usually gender unknown in the [[Core series|main series]] games, have a gender in this game.
* The names of [[Temporal Tower]] and [[Spacial Rift]] are based directly on the {{pkmn|category}} names of {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Palkia}}, who are respectively the "Temporal Pokémon" and the "Spatial Pokémon". This is not the case in the Japanese version, however, where Spacial Rift is named ''Sky Fissure'' and Temporal Tower is named ''Dimension Tower''.

{{StrategyWiki}}
'''Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon''' (Japanese: '''ポケモン{{tt|超不思議|ちょうふしぎ}}のダンジョン''' ''Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon'') is a [[Nintendo 3DS]] title that is a part of the [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series]]. It is the tenth entry in Japan and the seventh entry internationally. Like the other Pokémon Mystery Dungeon games, it is an adaptation of the {{wp|Mystery Dungeon}} games with {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} characters.

It was released in Japan on September 17, 2015, in North America on November 20, 2015, in Europe on February 19, 2016, and in Australia and New Zealand on February 20, 2016.

==Plot==
{{spoilers}}
As in previous games, the {{player}} is a [[human]] who has been transformed into a {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} child, and has appeared in a {{OBP|Pokémon world|Mystery Dungeon|world inhabited only by Pokémon}}. The player has lost all memories of being a human, aside from the fact that they were human. Soon after this, the player is attacked by a trio of {{mdc|Beheeyem|smd}}. In a bid to escape, the player encounters a {{mdc|Nuzleaf|smd}} who helps the player escape the Beheeyem, bringing them to [[Serene Village]] and taking them in. As the player looks about schooling age, Nuzleaf has the player enrolled in the village school, where they meet the {{OBP|partner Pokémon|Mystery Dungeon}}. The partner is a mischievous troublemaker who has a dream of joining the [[Expedition Society]] and making a map of the entire known world. Together with the partner and classmates, the player has several adventures, some of which bring them in contact with {{mdc|Ampharos|smd}}, who grants them Junior Expedition Society Badges (as children are not allowed to join, due to rules by the chief). The partner also shares their [[Harmony Scarf|Harmony Scarves]] with the player - a pair of striped scarves found with the partner when the partner's adoptive father, {{mdc|Carracosta|smd}}, discovered them.

Eventually, Nuzleaf leads the player and partner on an expedition to Revelation Mountain, a sacred location guarded by the villagers, in hopes of obtaining insight into the player's amnesiac condition. However, they are forced to abandon the expedition due to the Pokémon patrolling the area. Determined, the partner proposes to the player that they both leave the village for [[Lively Town]] and join the Expedition Society, despite their fellow villagers discouraging this. After a harrowing journey, the pair make it to Lively Town and meet the Expedition Society, discovering that Ampharos is actually its leader. Ampharos revokes his rule banning children from joining and officially declares the player and partner members of the Society.

As the player carries out missions, they learn about rumors where Pokémon were found to have turned into stone. On one such expedition, they discover {{p|Latios}} and {{p|Latias}}'s petrified bodies, having crash landed after turning into stone in mid-air. They also encounter {{p|Entei}}, who believes the player to be somehow responsible. Shortly after, Ampharos leads the Society on an expedition to a [[Fire Island Volcano|volcanic island]] where Entei lives, to confirm his own suspicions about the rumors. In a battle with Entei, the Harmony Scarves suddenly resonate and cause the player and partner to evolve into their final forms (albeit [[Devolution|temporarily]]), allowing them to hold Entei back until Ampharos arrives and declares a truce.

Some time later, written warnings begin appearing around town, declaring that Legendary Pokémon are the ones being targeted and the next victim will be Entei. The Society rushes to intercept the rendezvous, but Entei has already been petrified. Moreover, suspicion has now fallen on {{mdc|Krookodile|smd}}, a local gangster. The Society splits into two investigative teams: one to research how to reverse the petrification, and one to pursue Krookodile. The player's pursuit team chases Krookodile up Revelation Mountain, meeting up with Nuzleaf in the process, discovering a shimmering lake at the summit protected by a pyramid-shaped barrier. The partner, deciphering ancient runes left nearby to everyone's surprise, reveals that only a human can break the barrier, and the other investigative team reports that the lake's Luminous Water is an antidote for the petrification. Just then, Krookodile shows up, as well as {{p|Raikou}} and {{p|Suicune}} who seek to avenge Entei's defeat. Forced to make a decision, the player breaks the lake's barrier, and Krookodile outs Nuzleaf as the one who paid him to write the warnings. Nuzleaf's demeanor changes, revealing himself to be the one responsible for the petrification incidents. Summoning {{mdc|Yveltal|smd}} to his side, Nuzleaf turns the player's team, Krookodile, Raikou and Suicune into stone; elsewhere, the Beheeyem turn the other investigative team to stone as well.

===The Voidlands===
The player and partner awaken in a bleak landscape known as the [[Voidlands]], where the spirits of all Pokémon who are turned to stone are sent to. They manage to regroup with the other members of the Society, as well as the [[Legendary beasts]] and make their way through the Voidlands. Coming across various runes deciphered by the partner, they learn that an evil force known as [[Dark Matter]] is responsible for the current crisis: an embodiment of the darkness and negativity residing in all Pokémon, which feeds off the energy of its victims, turning them to stone as a result. Dark Matter appeared in the ancient past, but was stopped before it could spread its influence and destroy the planet by possessing a landmark known as the Tree of Life. Some of the group are captured by [[Void Shadows]], blob-like minions of Dark Matter capable of assuming the forms of Pokémon. The rest of the team manages to reach the Door of Light, a portal back to their world, heavily guarded by more Void Shadows. The rest of the group holds the Void Shadows back, allowing the player and partner to return to their world.

The player and partner wake up in their world, discovering that Nuzleaf has already drained the Luminous Water, and most of Serene Village and Lively Town's populations have already been petrified. Ampharos, together with Society astronomer {{p|Jirachi}}, have done their own investigations on Dark Matter, and evacuated the shopkeepers into Society Headquarters. The player chances upon one of the Beheeyem from earlier and attacks him with the partner. The Beheeyem declares that he isn't an enemy; he managed to break free from Dark Matter's mind control which was prompting him to commit unspeakable acts. He reveals that he came to lead the way to the [[Tree of Life]] so the player can save it. Choosing to believe Beheeyem, the player and partner journey with Beheeyem to the [[Prehistoric Ruins]], only to find that it is a trap by Nuzleaf. Nuzleaf reveals that the player once clashed with Dark Matter as a human, which is why the Beheeyem fought them to begin with; the player's amnesia apparently happened as a result of the Beheeyem's Psychic attacks. Nuzleaf had masqueraded as an ally so he could gain the player's trust and eventually be led to the Luminous Water, and destroy it so Dark Matter's plans can continue uninterrupted. Before Nuzleaf can petrify the player a second time, Ampharos appears with Jirachi and {{p|Celebi}}, the latter teleporting everyone to [[Road to Primeval Forest]], where the Tree of Life is.

Celebi confirms that Dark Matter had once threatened the world by attempting to attack the Tree of Life, which would have resulted in the planet crashing into the Sun had the tree died, but was defeated due to the combined efforts of a human and Pokémon. The player is assumed to be the same human, now brought to their present world by the power of an ancient Pokémon, {{p|Mew}}, to defeat Dark Matter as it has resurfaced. The Harmony Scarves worn by the player and partner were made using materials from the Tree of Life; their temporary evolutions were triggered as a result of the Tree's power.

===The Tree of Life===
The group makes their way to the center of the forest, discovering that the Tree of Life has already been possessed by Dark Matter and is almost completely dead. Nuzleaf, the Beheeyem and Yveltal attack the group, who manage to defeat them and wrest their minds from Dark Matter's control. However, Dark Matter steals Nuzleaf's group away and uproots the Tree of Life, causing it to rise into the sky and eventually crash into the sun. However, {{p|Arceus}} reaches out to the player and partner, revealing that Ampharos rallied together many allies, including {{p|Deoxys}}, [[Mega Evolution|Mega]] {{p|Rayquaza}}, and Mega {{p|Mewtwo}} Y, to hold the Tree of Life in place and slow its ascent, as well as a flock of various {{t|Flying}} Pokémon to attack the Tree from the sky. Arceus sends the player and partner to the Tree's roots; in their evolved states, the pair make their way up the Tree, also freeing Nuzleaf's group in the process and urging them to escape.

Eventually, the two discover Dark Matter at the tree's core. Dark Matter brings them into a pocket dimension, and although they manage to break Dark Matter, they fail to destroy it completely. Dark Matter intensifies its power, killing the Tree of Life and reverting the player and partner to their original forms. Dark Matter sends out waves of darkness, petrifying all the Pokémon holding the Tree in place, and taunts the player for having nothing left to fight for. However, the player and partner realize that they still have the hope to keep on living, and begin striking at Dark Matter's regenerated barrier, soon joined by Yveltal, Nuzleaf and Beheeyem who seek to atone for their misdeeds. The voices of all petrified Pokémon flow towards the player, urging them not to give up, and eventually Dark Matter's protective shield breaks. Together with the partner, the player attacks Dark Matter's core and finally defeats Dark Matter. Before the player can destroy Dark Matter, Dark Matter threatens to resurface again in the distant future; since all Pokémon have darkness in their hearts, it can never be completely destroyed. To Dark Matter's surprise, the partner accepts this outcome, because if Dark Matter is borne from everyone's negativity, Dark Matter is a part of this world, too. The player and partner shatter Dark Matter's core in a final attack, which faintly thanks the player for their actions.

The player and partner are brought back to Primeval Forest, discovering that the Tree of Life has returned as well, but this time in its fully flourished state. {{p|Xerneas}} appears from the Tree as its embodiment, explaining that Dark Matter has now completely gone upon finally finding peace; all the Pokémon that were turned into stone have likewise been fully restored. The player and partner return to Lively Town and Serene Village, rejoicing and celebrating with their friends. However, the player realizes that if they saved the world in the past, they probably had to return to the human world at some point. Finding that they wish to stay in the Pokémon world with their partner, the player resolves to find a way that allows them to stay.

Before the player can tell the partner of their plans, the partner admits that Xerneas came to them and restored their memories. The partner is actually a reincarnation of Mew, who fought Dark Matter with the player in the distant past. However, they actually failed in their attempt, and so devised a plan to prepare future generations in the event Dark Matter ever returned, including the Luminous Water seal atop Revelation Mountain. Mew had wiped both their memories to prevent them from making the same mistakes that led to their failure in the past, and now that Mew has fulfilled its role, the partner has to leave the player forever. Rising into the sky in a ball of light, the partner thanks the player for all the times they had together and disappears, saddening the player.

===Epilogue===
Some time later, the player has continued working for the Expedition Society but remains despondent over the partner's fate. Ampharos advises the player consult {{p|Xatu}} on how to restore the partner. The player finds Xatu at the [[Sand Dune of Spirits]], who describes a vision involving Mew but claims to be unable to decipher the rest of the vision. With this lead, the player finds Mew at the {{OBP|Mystery Jungle|Super Mystery Dungeon}}, who has no recollection of its past life or any idea who the player's partner is, but decides to join the Expedition Society and work with the player. The player and Expedition Society warm up to Mew, who begins exhibiting behaviors similar to the partner's.

After a few adventures, the player wakes up at Serene Village after another episode of amnesia, eventually recalling that Mew had fallen ill; based on Ampharos and Xatu's advice, the player had taken Mew to Serene Village, but the player was attacked by unknown assailants and Mew was kidnapped. The player learns from Ampharos that Mew's abductor left a note, claiming that Mew must be sacrificed in [[Purifying Cave]] to remove the last fragments of Dark Matter still in the world. The player goes on an expedition to the dungeon to rescue Mew, finding that Nuzleaf and the Beheeyem are responsible. Nuzleaf claims that they did so to prevent Dark Matter from ever coming back, and Mew begins to glow with light and seemingly fade away. Reminded of the partner's departure, the player refuses this, not wanting to say goodbye again. At this, the player's Harmony Scarf begins glowing, combining with the light surrounding Mew, which restores the partner.

Ampharos, Mawile, and Xatu appear, admitting that the "kidnapping" was all a set-up. Xatu had already foreseen the events; the set-up was a test to prove the player's desire for the partner's return. Nuzleaf and the Beheeyem volunteered to play the role of kidnappers in order to atone for their part in the crisis. With everything resolved, the player and partner return to the Society, while Nuzleaf and Beheeyem are accepted in Serene Village as villagers, and Mew returns to Mystery Jungle but remains an ally of the player.

==Blurb==
The Definitive Pokémon Mystery Dungeon Game!

Become a Pokémon, go on adventures, and save the world!

All 720 species of Pokémon! 
An unknown peril in the world of Pokémon? 
Battle your way through dangerous dungeons!

==Features==
===New features===
====Alliances====
[[File:Alliance PSMD.png|thumb|Activating an Alliance]]
Alliances are team attacks that warp all other team members to surround a Pokémon, then unleash a simultaneous attack. These attacks ignore ineffective type matchups, but also deplete the belly, similar to linked moves in previous games. Preset Alliances can be unleashed by holding L and then the R button.

If the Pokémon holds an {{DL|Looplet|Alliance Looplet}}, the Pokémon can participate in an Alliance even when far away from its teammates. If the Pokémon holds a Huge Meal Looplet, the belly is not depleted by an Alliance attack.

Certain enemy Pokémon can also unleash an Alliance with other Pokémon in the room.

====Connection====
{{main|Connection Orb}}
Unlike the previous games, Pokémon do not [[Recruitment|join the team]] by being defeated in a dungeon. Instead, Pokémon become connected primarily by completing mission requests. These requests are displayed in the [[Connection Orb]], which replaces the bulletin boards as the interface for taking {{OBP|Job|Mystery Dungeon|jobs}}. Some Pokémon may become connected simply by speaking to them or at a certain point in the story. Some may also automatically become connected at the same time as the player connects with another Pokémon.

====Looplets====
{{main|Looplet}} {{main|Emera}}
Items called looplets and emeras are introduced. By putting emeras into a held looplet, Pokémon can be powered up. Any emeras obtained in a dungeon disappear when leaving it.

As the first and only entry in the series released during [[Generation VI]], it introduces [[Mega Evolution]] to the series.

====Motivated Pokémon====
Motivated Pokémon is a concept introduced during Chapter 12. Motivated Pokémon earn triple the {{DL|Experience|In the Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series|experience points}} as normal during missions. On certain days, a new group of three [[Connection Orb|connected]] Pokémon become motivated. These Pokémon are revealed to the player at the start of the day, and are also listed first when selecting team members. If the three specified Pokémon are on the team together, the remaining unused Pokémon will also earn 1.28-times bonus experience points. Additionally, if an {{p|Unown}} is one of the three specified Pokémon and all three are brought on the expedition, all Pokémon, including non-motivated ones, will earn double the experience points as a bonus.

====Other new mechanics====
* All 720 Pokémon that were officially revealed at the time are present in the game.
* As the first entry in the series released during [[Generation VI]], it introduces the {{t|Fairy}} type to the series.
* The [[Progress Device]] allows players to [[save]] inside dungeons on any floor, instead of temporarily saving via the menu which has been removed.
* [[Wand]]s, stackable items with effects similar to orbs, are introduced.
* In addition to returning stores, stores called [[Hawlucha's Slam School]], [[Café Connection]], {{DL|Lively Town|Rockin' Lock|Klefki's Rockin' Lock}}, [[Meowth Theater]], and [[Lapras Travel Liner]] are available.
* Helper Pokémon can be sent through [[StreetPass]].
* Instead of always getting rewards for doing a job, the player only gets rewarded on some quests.
* More than four Pokémon can now enter a dungeon at once. However, this only counts for guest Pokémon.
* {{stat|Speed}} is now an available stat for Pokémon, which affects move {{stat|accuracy}}, {{m|Gyro Ball}} damage, and {{m|Electro Ball}} damage, similar to {{g|Conquest}}. It also determines how well the Pokémon evades other Pokémon's moves.
** The number of times a Pokémon can move per turn is referred to as "[[Travel Speed]]," just like in Gates to Infinity.
* [[Expedition (Mystery Dungeon)|Expeditions]] are now preset.
* [[Gigantic Pokémon]] are playable and take up 9 tiles at once.
* If the player fails an expedition (e.g. having the whole team faint and does not want to get rescued), they lose all the items and [[Poké|money]] that were in the Bag.

===Returning features===
* The [[Deposit Box]] is once again present.
* The {{DL|Stats|Belly}} mechanic makes a return in all dungeons.
* The personality test featured in the first two installments returns; however, the player can now choose whether or not to accept the result or pick their own Pokémon.
* [[Move]]s once again have ranks. As a move is used, it gains progress towards the next rank. As a move ranks up, it grows in power, accuracy, and maximum PP. [[Status move]]s and {{m|Struggle}} do not have ranks, and [[:Category:Set-damage moves|moves with set damage]] or moves that do damage based on factors such as the target's remaining HP (such as {{m|Wring Out}}) can rank up, but cannot increase in power. The increase is permanent and carry over to other teammate's with the same move.
* Hostile Pokémon are once again able to evolve inside certain dungeons after defeating another Pokémon.
* A [[Jukebox (Super Mystery Dungeon)|Jukebox]] feature allows players to listen to music from the games and even previous titles in the series, like in [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky]].
* [[TM]]s are once again one-use items.
** The player can instead find rare Rainbow TMs that are infinite-use.
* Party size limitations for certain Pokémon based on body size, such as {{p|Onix}} and {{p|Wailord}}, as well as many Legendary Pokémon, return.
* [[Pelipper Island]] can be used to rescue the player or others using [[Wonder Mail]].

==Trivia==
* Super Mystery Dungeon has the highest number of both [[first partner Pokémon]] and playable Pokémon species overall out of any Pokémon Mystery Dungeon game. There are 20 first partner Pokémon species to choose from, and a total of 720 playable Pokémon species.
* This is the only Pokémon Mystery Dungeon game to be given a PEGI rating of 7, with all previously-released Pokémon Mystery Dungeon titles having been given a rating of 3.
* There are several characters implied or confirmed to be from previous games, suggesting that Super Mystery Dungeon coincides with all previous Pokémon Mystery Dungeon games.
** However, not all events from past games took place in this one, as Teddiursa and Snubbull are still unevolved. There are also timeline discrepancies such as how Dusknoir, the pink Celebi and Grovyle are all present at the same time as members from Wigglytuff's Guild.
** Additionally, some stages from previous games are also mentioned or revisited, such as Destiny Tower and Wish Cave.
{{spoilers}}
* This is the first Pokémon Mystery Dungeon game where the player Pokémon does not disappear after the main story. Instead, that role is given to the partner Pokémon.

'''Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|ポケモン不思議のダンジョン　空の探検隊|ポケモンふしぎのダンジョン　そらのたんけんたい}}''' ''Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky'') is a game developed by [[Chunsoft]].

** [[Poké]] stored in {{DL|Treasure Town|Duskull Bank}} and items stored in [[Kangaskhan Storage]] can be used in both the Special Episodes and the main game.
* There is a new place called '''[[Spinda's Café]]''' where the following can be found:
** '''Spinda's Juice Bar''' grants access to several exclusive dungeons ([[Lush Prairie]], [[Serenity River]], [[Happy Outlook]], [[Lost Wilderness]], {{OBP|Destiny Tower|Explorers of Sky}}), and it also allows players to make drinks out of food items.
** '''Recycle Shop''' allows players to exchange excess items for other items. The more items exchanged, the better the items available will be. Players may also trade items for [[Prize Ticket]]s (more kinds of tickets can be unlocked by a team's rank; for example, Silver Tickets are only available to teams in the Silver rank). Prize tickets can be used in a lottery, where the player gets to choose from three colors for the drawing (red, blue, and yellow). The player can sometimes get rare items this way.
** The player's team recruits who are currently in the party can now be found in Spinda's Café instead of the crossroads (once it opens).
** {{OBP|Job|Mystery Dungeon|Job requests}} can also be found here, and can be accepted or rejected by talking to the client to the left of the exit.
** Dungeons that were previously only attainable through special job requests available before graduation are now found in Spinda's Juice Bar and the Recycle Shop. The ones available post graduation are still unlocked this way.
* There is a new location called the '''[[Secret Bazaar]]''' which is found randomly in dungeons. It is run by {{p|Kirlia}}. The bazaar has several stalls found inside.
** {{p|Mime Jr.}}'s stall restores the team's Health Points (HP), Power Points (PP), and fill the belly for 100 [[Poké]].
** Swalot's ''Grab Bag Shop'' gives players Grab Bags for 100 Poké. They may hold useful items inside them.
** Lickilicky will clean the player's items in their inventory for 100 Poké.
** Shedinja's gives players a chance to escape the dungeon sooner for 100 Poké.
* A new location, '''[[Shaymin Village]]''', is unlocked after completion of the main game, featuring a tribe of {{p|Shaymin}}, where the player also allies with [[Team|Team Frontier]] to reclaim the trail leading to the top of the nearby [[Sky Peak]] mountain. An accompanying Shaymin demonstrates its ability to instantly purify polluted environments, its use of the [[Gracidea]] to transform into its [[List of Pokémon with form differences#Shaymin|Sky Forme]], and can be later recruited into the player's party.
* Players can find a statue of {{p|Arceus}} in a new dungeon called '''{{OBP|Destiny Tower|Explorers of Sky}}'''. The story here involves a new item called the '''[[Space Globe]]'''.
* Players only lose half of their money when defeated in a dungeon, instead of all of it.
* Tradeable items can be traded for any others now, provided they are available at [[Croagunk's Swap Shop]].
* Using DS Download Play, the player can send their friends a demo of the game.
* The {{p|Luxray}} and {{p|Luxio}} tribe that was the boss of [[Amp Plains]] has been replaced by the {{p|Manectric}} and {{p|Electrike}} tribe. This is possibly due to one of the hero and partner choices in this game being {{p|Shinx}}.
* A new item called the [[Sky Gift]] can be obtained in an area consisting of ten dungeons called [[Sky Peak Mountain Path]].
* {{p|Raikou}}, {{p|Entei}}, and {{p|Suicune}} are now found in '''[[Southeastern Islands]]''', '''[[Inferno Cave]]''', and '''[[Treacherous Waters]]''' respectively and are no longer acquired with the [[Mystery Part]] and [[Secret Slab]] or in [[Final Maze]]. These dungeons are unlocked through random challenges in Spinda's Cafe, but the only way to get these challenges is to unlock the Secret Rank.
** The same applies for {{p|Mewtwo}}, but it can be fought in [[Sky Stairway]] instead.
** Jirachi is now fought in [[Star Cave]], only accessible through [[Wonder Mail]] codes or Spinda's Café. The Special Episode "[[Bidoof's Wish]]" must be completed first.
* Occasionally bottles containing job requests will wash up along the {{OBP|beach|Explorers of Time, Darkness, and Sky}}. Upon finding a bottle the player has the option to take or reject the request. Rejected jobs remain on the beach until taken. However, if the player wants, they can accept the job and then delete it to remove the bottle.
* Some of the items found in a dungeon might not be what they seem to be. These items are called [[Lookalike Item]]s. For example, a blue [[Berry]] found in a dungeon might not be of the healing [[Oran Berry|Oran]] variety, but the damaging Or'''e'''n.
* Outlaws may react to the player's appearance. While some just attack as normal, others are located in a [[Monster House]], while others may run away, similarly to if a [[Wonder Orb|Foe-Fear Orb]] was used on them. Their reaction is hinted at by the title and description of the job.

==Other minor differences with Time and Darkness==
* Certain dialogue is slightly different; for example, when the player robs a {{p|Kecleon}} in Time/Darkness he says "Robbed! I've been robbed! Catch the thief!". In Sky, he says, "My precious merchandise! Catch the thief!" instead.
* When the player recruits a Pokémon, and the team is full, it allows the player to choose who they would like to send back to the guild, instead of immediately sending the new recruit back. Likewise, the same goes if the player tries to do an escort mission and the team is full. Additionally, a Pokémon who already has been recruited will have their name in orange, rather than the usual blue.
* The amount of time it takes to save the player's game is shorter.
* When saving their game, the player can choose whether they want to continue playing or return to the main menu.
* The ending theme "Memories Returned" has been extended slightly.
* When the team leader tries to switch places with a teammate while they on a terrain the teammate cannot normally walk on, the teammate will warp right back to the player, whereas in previous games it would warp the teammate to a random spot.
* [[Wonder Mail]] is replaced with a new format called Wonder Mail S, which is not compatible with Time/Darkness, and making Time/Darkness Wonder Mail codes incompatible with Sky.
* Money rewards from jobs are now stated as the complete reward before it says that the team received its share of the reward.
** When money appears in amounts of 1,000 Poké or more, it now includes a comma in the normal place.
* When the introduction screen for each chapter is shown, there is now an image in the background based on what will happen in that chapter.
* In the beginning when the game asks if the player has played Time/Darkness, and if the player answers yes, some dungeon Pokémon will have their recruitment rate doubled.
* A {{DL|List of glitches in the Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series|Luminous Spring softlock glitch|glitch}} causes the game to {{DL|Game freeze|Softlocking|softlock}} if a Pokémon has 10 characters in its name or [[nickname]].
* Certain moves have been slightly modified, such as their base power.
* {{a|Storm Drain}} and {{a|Lightning Rod}} now draw moves only from the same room, rather than entire floor.
* Pokémon learnsets were changed to account for Platinum.
* Certain scenes and maps had their special effects and/or visuals altered, such as the [[Sentry Duty]] or the purely visual fog in Steam Cave.
* The move summary now displays approximation of their accuracy and power (if applicable).
* Unlike in Time and Darkness, the player's held item is no longer unequipped at the end of the day.
* If a member of the player's party is damaged by [[Weather (Mystery Dungeon)|weather]], the damage animation no longer plays every turn.

==Characters==
===Playable characters===
In the beginning of the game, the player takes a [[Personality Quiz (Mystery Dungeon)|personality quiz]]. The answers to these questions determine a [[nature]], which along with the player's gender is used to decide the [[hero Pokémon]] that the player plays as. Certain Pokémon are only available to players of a certain gender.

After the player's hero Pokémon is determined, they then choose their {{mdc|partner Pokémon}}. Their choices of partner Pokémon are any of the Pokémon shown above, but they must be a different [[type]] to the player character. {{p|Meowth}} and {{p|Munchlax}} are only available as partner Pokémon.

{{StrategyWiki}}
'''Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|ポケモン不思議のダンジョン赤の救助隊|ポケモンふしぎのダンジョンあかのきゅうじょたい}}''' ''Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team'') and '''Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Blue Rescue Team''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|ポケモン不思議のダンジョン青の救助隊|ポケモンふしぎのダンジョンあおのきゅうじょたい}}''' ''Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Blue Rescue Team'') are a matched pair of [[Pokémon games]] for the [[Game Boy Advance]] and [[Nintendo DS]], respectively. These games are the first two entries in the [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series]], an adaptation of the {{wp|Mystery Dungeon}} games for Pokémon. These two games were developed by [[Chunsoft]] and were published by [[Nintendo]]. They were released in Japan on November 17, 2005, in the United States on September 18, 2006, in Europe on November 10, 2006, and in Australia on September 28, 2006.

In South Korea, Blue Rescue Team was released on August 30, 2007; Red Rescue Team was never released, because the Nintendo DS was the first console released by Nintendo of Korea. Nintendo of Korea also released a demo version of Blue Rescue Team for PC, [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Gold Rescue Team]].

Both games were released for the [[Wii U]] [[Virtual Console]] in Europe on February 11, 2016, in Australia on February 12, 2016, in Japan on March 23, 2016, and in the United States on June 23, 2016. The Virtual Console was discontinued on March 27, 2023. A remake of the games, titled [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Rescue Team DX]], was released for the [[Nintendo Switch]] on March 6, 2020. Red Rescue Team was released on Nintendo Switch Online's Expansion Pack on August 9, 2024.

All Pokémon from [[Generation]]s {{gen|I}}, {{gen|II}}, and {{gen|III}} are available in this game; all may be encountered and [[recruitment|recruited]] as the player ventures across the land and through various dungeons.

The games have received adaptations in other formats through the anime episode ''[[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Team Go-Getters Out of the Gate!]]'' and the manga series ''[[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Ginji's Rescue Team]]''.

==Gameplay==
Like the main Pokémon RPGs, it has two gameplay modes; unlike the main RPGs, battle mode and dungeon mode are not distinct. It is a semi-turn-based game, with each step, attack, or item use being counted as a single turn.

The size of a party is limited to four in Pokémon Mystery Dungeon, compared to six in the main RPGs; furthermore, players are only able to directly control one Pokémon: their own character (or, later in the game, any other befriended Pokémon). The player's teammates are essentially autonomous, with player control being limited to general strategy such as avoiding Pokémon battles or not moving and staying in one place.

The games use level-up movesets from {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}. The weather-inducing moves, {{m|Double Team}}, {{m|Rock Tomb}}, and {{m|Snatch}} are not contained in [[TM]]s, instead having corresponding [[Wonder Orb]]s.

==Plot==
{{spoilers}}
===Main story===
Pokémon Mystery Dungeon starts with the player as a human who is turned into a {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. A series of questions at the start of the game determines what Pokémon the player becomes.

When the player first discovers that they are a Pokémon, they will first meet their partner who happens to be there. The journey begins with the player going out to find a lost {{p|Caterpie}}. Once this first quest is done, the journey begins in earnest. The partner explains that the world is suffering an imbalance in nature, with natural disasters occurring everywhere.

* The player and their partner form a rescue team.
* Soon after, they rescue two {{p|Magnemite}} from [[Thunderwave Cave]], one of which joins the team.
* The player and his friends save a {{p|Diglett}} from a {{p|Skarmory}} on [[Mt. Steel]].
* [[Team Meanies]] steal the requests for help from the player's mailbox. The team rescues a {{p|Metapod}} who is stuck at [[Sinister Woods]].
* A {{p|Jumpluff}} is stuck at [[Silent Chasm]]. {{p|Shiftry}} is asked to go. When he doesn't return the team goes down to rescue {{p|Shiftry}}.
* After {{p|Zapdos}} kidnaps {{p|Shiftry}}, the player must fight it at the top of [[Mt. Thunder]].
* The player consults {{p|Xatu}} for an explanation of their presence in this world as a Pokémon at Great Canyon.
* The player learns of the legend of {{p|Ninetales}}: one day, a human angered a {{p|Ninetales}} and was cursed, however, the human's {{p|Gardevoir}} took the curse upon herself to save her master. However, the human selfishly deserts the cursed {{p|Gardevoir}}. {{p|Ninetales}} prophesises that the selfish human would be reborn as a Pokémon, and when that happens, the balance of nature in the world would collapse.
* {{p|Gengar}} convinces the Pokémon that the player is the selfish human in the legend of {{p|Ninetales}}, and they decide to run them out of town.
* To escape their pursuers the team pass through [[Lapis Cave]] and then [[Mt. Blaze]], where they encounter {{p|Moltres}}.
* The team enters [[Frosty Forest]] and is attacked by {{p|Articuno}}, who blames the player for bringing natural disasters to its forest. An {{p|Absol}} steps in and stops the fighting, then joins the rescue team.
* The player reaches [[Mt. Freeze]] and meets the {{p|Ninetales}} of the legend. The player discovers that while part of the legend is true, and the selfish human from the legend is alive, it is not the player.
* The player returns to the town, and {{p|Gengar}} is discredited. Meanwhile [[Team A.C.T.]] goes to the Magma Caverns to defeat {{p|Groudon}}.
* {{p|Wynaut}} and {{p|Wobbuffet}} ask the player to go defeat the {{p|Mankey}} gang in the [[Uproar Forest]]. In return, they offer a peeled Chestnut, which is in turn used to convince the {{p|Mankey}} gang to help renovate the [[Team Base]].
* Team A.C.T. does not return, and a new team—{{p|Blastoise}}, {{p|Octillery}} and {{p|Golem}}—is formed to go rescue them.
* The new team is also defeated. The player goes to [[Magma Cavern]] themselves to rescue Team A.C.T.
* After defeating {{p|Groudon}}, {{p|Xatu}} announces that a falling star is headed towards the planet, and that it is the meteor that is causing the imbalance in nature.
* {{p|Gardevoir}} reveals to the player, in a dream, the true reason for their transformation: the player was destined to be the savior of the [[Pokémon world]]; the player decided to erase the memories of being a human in order to cleanse the heart and mind.
* The player goes to find {{p|Rayquaza}} at [[Sky Tower]] in order to convince it to destroy the falling star.
* {{p|Rayquaza}}'s {{m|Hyper Beam}} destroys the meteorite. However, the player ends up in the netherworld in the aftermath of the explosion; {{p|Gengar}} helps them return to the Pokémon world.
* As the Pokémon celebrate the end of the calamities, the player says farewell and leaves to return to the human world.
* After the credits roll, the player decides to remain in the Pokémon world, and reappears at the [[Team Base]].

===Epilogue===
* The player gains entrance to [[Luminous Cave]].
* After talking to {{mdc|Medicham|1}}, {{mdc|Lombre|1}} and {{mdc|Whiscash|1}} in order, the player goes to [[Stormy Sea]] and defeats {{p|Kyogre}}.
* After getting mail about a [[Buried Relic|new dungeon]], the player talks to Lombre. Then Shiftry will let the player go to [[Buried Relic]].
* [[Southern Cavern]], [[Wyvern Hill]], and [[Howling Forest]] open up after receiving specific [[Friend Area]]s from {{OBP|Job|Mystery Dungeon|jobs}}.
* After getting [[HM]] {{m|Surf}} in the [[Solar Cave]], {{p|Spinda}} walks into Pokémon Square and collapses. The player and their partner take him back to their rescue base.
* Spinda reveals he was looking for the mirage Pokémon, but doesn't know what it is. He gives the player the Clear Wing, then leaves and stays in Pokémon Square for a while.
* The player's partner suggests that they go and speak to Xatu.
* Upon reaching the top of the Great Canyon, Xatu reveals that the player must first go to the three fields and face the Lords of those areas (the [[Legendary beasts]]).
* After clearing the [[Fiery Field]] and defeating Entei, {{p|Entei}} turns the Clear Wing into the Red Wing.
* After clearing the [[Lightning Field]] and defeating Raikou, {{p|Raikou}} turns the Red Wing into the Sunset Wing.
* After clearing the [[Northwind Field]] and defeating Suicune, {{p|Suicune}} turns the Sunset Wing into the Rainbow Wing, and [[Mt. Faraway]] is unlocked.
* Once the player clears Mt. Faraway and defeats the {{p|Ho-Oh|Mirage Pokémon}}, the player can go back to the Fields and Mt. Faraway to recruit the legendary beasts and Ho-Oh (if their Friend Areas have been opened).
* If the player goes back to Pokémon Square and talks to Spinda, it will leave, encouraged to go exploring again.
* After getting the {{OBP|Southern Island|Mystery Dungeon}} Friend Area and obtaining Surf from Solar Cave, a flying Pokémon steals the TMs from Kecleon Wares and flees to the [[Northern Range]]. The player follows it and defeats the Pokémon, revealed to be {{p|Latios}}.
* Latios is revealed to have stolen the TMs because of losing {{p|Latias}} in [[Pitfall Valley]]. The player saves her there using the Teleport Gem. Both Eon Pokémon may join the player's team afterwards.
* Medicham and Ekans go to the [[Wish Cave]] to try to grant wishes for themselves.
* Ekans is defeated and places a rescue request for Medicham, who is still stuck in the cave.
* After rescuing Medicham, the player is rewarded with the Wish Stone, which can be used to make Jirachi grant a wish.
* Medicham and Ekans reveal that Gengar is trying to climb [[Mt. Freeze]].
* Gengar asks the player to escort him up Mt. Freeze.
* Gengar reveals himself to be the selfish human in the legend of Ninetales, and is the master of Gardevoir.
* Ninetales gives Gengar the Nine Tail Crest, and sends him to [[Murky Cave]].
* The player and Gengar go rescue {{p|Gardevoir}}. Gardevoir then offers to join the player's rescue team, but it has lost all its memory relating to Gengar.
* Once the player goes back and recruits Ho-Oh, a cutscene will be shown showing Blastoise and Charizard being KO'd by an incredibly strong Pokémon in [[Western Cave|an extremely tough dungeon.]]
* When the player goes through the dungeon, the Pokémon is revealed as {{p|Mewtwo}}.
* If the player has the Friend Area Cryptic Cave, Mewtwo will ask to join the player's rescue team second time through the dungeon if the player defeats Mewtwo.
* After recruiting all of the [[legendary birds]], the player talks to {{p|Alakazam}}. The player then goes to [[Legendary Island]] and Articuno, Zapdos, and Moltres will grant access to [[Silver Trench]].
*After recruiting {{p|Lugia}}, {{p|Xatu}} will appear outside the Team base. After that, Blastoise will come and say that he saw a cave and saw "weird things". Xatu will then name the place [[Meteor Cave]]. Then, the player will gain access to it. The player may recruit {{p|Deoxys}} in the Meteor Cave.

==Blurb==
What if you woke up one day, and you were a Pokémon? What if all of a sudden you find yourself in a NEW world, where you can speak and interact with other Pokémon? The adventure begins when you and your partner Pokémon set out on rescue missions in a world ravaged by natural disasters. But what is your true purpose and destiny in this Pokémon world? That's the REAL mystery....

==Characters==
===Playable characters===
In the beginning of the game, the player takes a [[Personality Quiz (Mystery Dungeon)|personality quiz]]. The answers to these questions determine a [[nature]], which along with the player's gender is used to decide the [[hero Pokémon]] that the player plays as. Meowth, Machop, and Cyndaquil are only available if the player is male, and Eevee, Chikorita, and Skitty are only available if the player is female.

After the player's hero Pokémon is determined, they then choose their {{mdc|partner Pokémon}}. Their choices of partner Pokémon are {{p|Pikachu}} and the Kanto, Johto, and Hoenn [[first partner Pokémon]], but they must be a different [[type]] to the player character. (If Eevee is the player character, it is possible to later evolve into the same type of Pokémon as the partner.)

==Connectivity==
===Unknown Dungeon===
{{main|Unknown Dungeon (Mystery Dungeon)}}
A player with Blue Rescue Team can go to an {{OBP|Unknown Dungeon|Mystery Dungeon}} (found as an option on the main screen) through wireless communication with another player. When both players have contacted each other, they should close their DS and wait till they automatically finish a random dungeon and return an [[item]] and sometimes recruit a [[Pokémon]]. The player can open their DS whenever they want even if the other player has already opened theirs. Items received are usually rare. The player can go to the Unknown Dungeon however many times they like as long as the player has another player to communicate with.

===Rescuing===
The player can also go rescue another player who has fainted in a dungeon and prefers to await a rescue. The player can rescue from the title screen, or through [[Pelipper Post Office]]. The player should receive an SOS Mail from the other player through Wireless Mode or through a Password. When the player has received the SOS Mail, they can go rescue anytime they want. The player can go rescue by talking with {{p|Pelipper}} in the Post Office. The player who's awaiting rescue can cancel the wait, but the player who has already gotten the SOS Mail can rescue the other player and get a reward from Pelipper instead.

===Being rescued===
When the player faints in a certain dungeon, they can choose to send an SOS Mail to another player. While awaiting rescue, the player can explore on their current unlocked dungeons and can store items and [[Poké]] after completing the dungeon. The player can also organize their team members. The player is rescued when they receive an A-OK Mail. The player then may continue their exploration from the spot where they fainted. All items and Poké are restored. After the player completes or escapes from the dungeon, they may optionally (but are recommended to) go to Pelipper Post Office or the title screen to send a Thank-You Mail in thanks for the rescue. The player may also choose whether or not to reward the rescuer with one of their items.

===Rescue Team Maze===
{{main|Makuhita Dojo}}
A player with Blue Rescue Team can battle a team transferred from Red Rescue Team game in the Rescue Team Maze. The team transferred over from Red Rescue Team can be recruited in Blue Rescue Team.

===Pokémon Trozei!===
The wireless communications function can be used to communicate with [[Pokémon Trozei!]] along with other copies of Blue Rescue Team. Prize coins are awarded to the copy of Trozei! while an item is awarded to the copy of Blue Rescue Team.<ref>[https://www.pokemon.co.jp/game/ds/toroze/communication.html Pokémon.co.jp]</ref><ref>[https://www.pokemon.co.jp/game/ds/dungeon/communication.html Pokémon.co.jp]</ref><ref>[http://www.nintendo.co.kr/DS/soft/poketmon_dungeon/sub06.php Nintendo of Korea]</ref>

==Localization changes==
* In Japanese and Korean versions of the game, the recruit list has species name alongside the nickname. In the localization, only the nickname (if any) is displayed.
* The Japanese version of Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Blue Rescue Team had a game breaking bug which would erase all the save data of any game in the Gameboy Advance slot. This bug was fixed in international releases.

==Reception==
Gaming magazine {{wp|Famitsu}} gave Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team a score of 35 out of 40. {{wp|IGN}} rated the games an "Okay" 6.5/10.<ref>[https://www.ign.com/articles/2006/09/20/pokemon-mystery-dungeon-review Pokémon Mystery Dungeon Review - IGN]</ref> Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team hold a rating of 70.82%<ref>[https://www.gamerankings.com/gba/929408-pokemon-mystery-dungeon-red-rescue-team/index.html Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team for Game Boy Advance - GameRankings]</ref> and 64.01%,<ref>[https://www.gamerankings.com/ds/929407-pokemon-mystery-dungeon-blue-rescue-team/index.html Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Blue Rescue Team for DS - GameRankings]</ref> respectively, on {{wp|GameRankings}}.

==Trivia==
* In the original Japanese release of Blue Rescue Team, a bug would wipe data from any [[Game Boy Advance]] game in the [[Nintendo DS]]'s second slot that was not Red Rescue Team. This was fixed in all subsequent releases.
* These are the first games that allow the player to understand what Pokémon are saying.
* These are the first games in the franchise to allow [[move duplication|the same move to be learned more than once at one time]] without a glitch.
* The [[Generation IV]] {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} {{p|Munchlax}} is obtainable in these games through hacking, despite the fact that the games only contain Pokémon from the first three generations.
* These games feature the most {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} in a [[Generation IV|generation that has not been released at the time]] with five. There are statues of {{p|Weavile}}, {{p|Bonsly}}, {{p|Mime Jr.}}, and {{p|Lucario}}; and Munchlax is an NPC in the game.
* These are the only paired games to be released on separate [[:Category:Game systems|handheld consoles]].
* Red Rescue Team was the last Pokémon game released on the Game Boy Advance, and the last Pokémon game to be released on a Game Boy system.
* The box arts of the games are linked. The blue rescue team is looking at the red rescue team through a hole in the ground.
** Mudkip throws a rock in the hole, which can be seen on the other box. This is a reference to how the DS cartridge slot is above the Game Boy Advance cartridge slot on the original Nintendo DS and DS Lite systems.
** The ominous red-eyed or shadowy Pokémon are the members of [[Team Meanies]] and [[Team A.C.T.]], split between the two box arts.
* These are the first Pokémon games outside the [[core series]] to get a remake, in the form of [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Rescue Team DX]].

Door to Hope

2024-08-13T07:31:23Z

CuteShaymin:

[[File:Door to Hope.png|thumb|The Door to Hope]]
The '''Door to Hope''' is a key location in [[Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon]]. It is a portal, located at the peak of [[Reverse Mountain]], that leads out of the [[Voidlands]] and back to the real [[Pokémon world (Mystery Dungeon)|Pokémon world]].

== History ==
As the hero and partner Pokémon make their way through the Voidlands, they come across several ancient writings, which tell about the Voidlands and [[Dark Matter]]. One of them states that at the peak of Reverse Mountain is the Door to Hope, a "path of light that connects to the world you once knew". However, it also warns that there are countless [[Void Shadows]] blocking the light from the Door to Hope.

When the group reaches the peak of Reverse Mountain, they encounter these Void Shadows. They take on the forms of a [[Mega Evolution|Mega]] [[Tyranitar (Pokémon)|Tyranitar]] and a [[Mega Evolution|Mega]] [[Gengar (Pokémon)|Gengar]] in an attempt to stop them from reaching the Door to Hope. After the group defeats them, the Door to Hope appears for a moment, but then even more Void Shadows appear, making the door disappear. They keep fighting off the Void Shadows, but more keep appearing endlessly. [[Mawile (Pokémon)|Mawile]] and the [[Legendary beasts (Super Mystery Dungeon)|Legendary beasts]] decide that the only way is to launch the hero and partner and have them run through the Door to Hope before it disappears. They sacrifice themselves in order for the hero and partner to escape the Voidlands, entrusting them to save the world.

After this, it will ask you for your gender. Then, it will ask you to press your fingertip gently on the touch screen. It then asks you to keep your finger on the screen while your aura is analyzed. Do not move your finger until it says to. It will then say your aura has been analyzed and then that your aura is whatever color. You will be thanked for answering all the questions, and it will explain your personality and what Pokémon you will be. It then asks you to choose a partner. Please note that you cannot choose a Pokémon of the same type as you. If a Pokémon you want as a partner isn't in the list initially presented to you, select one, decline and you will get a new list! You're then off to the world of Pokémon!

Most of these can be found in dungeons found at various points of the main story; Pokémon marked with a dagger (†) can be recruited only after the credits roll.

===The Personality Quiz===
The game begins with the following words:
:''Welcome!''
:''This is the portal that leads to the world inhabited only by Pokémon.''
:''Beyond this gateway, many new adventures and fresh experiences await your arrival!''
:''Before you depart for the adventure, you must answer some questions.''
:''Be truthful when you answer them!''
:''Now, are you ready?''
:''Then...let the questions begin!''
The personality test will then follow. The Pokémon you will be will be chosen from the nature gathered in points from each question. You can play as one of the following Pokémon, but those marked with a * cannot be chosen as your partner:

After this, it will ask you for your gender. Then, it will ask you to press your fingertip gently on the touch screen. It then asks you to keep your finger on the screen while your aura is analyzed. Do not move your finger until it says to. It will then say your aura has been analyzed and then that your aura is whatever color. You will be thanked for answering all the questions, and it will explain your personality and what Pokémon you will be. It then asks you to choose a partner. Please note that you cannot choose a Pokémon of the same type as you. If a Pokémon you want as a partner isn't in the list initially presented to you, select one, decline and you will get a new list! You're then off to the world of Pokémon!

CuteShaymin:

==The Personality Quiz==
The game begins with the following words:
:''Welcome!''
:''This is the portal that leads to the world of Pokémon!''
:''Before I can let you through, I have several questions for you.''
:''I want you to answer them sincerely.''
:''Are you ready?''
:''OK... Let the interview begin!''
The personality test will then follow. This will involve a random question from 8 out of 14 categories, with each category leaning towards a particular personality type. Once the {{player}} has been asked the full eight questions, he or she will be given a final question that simply asks for their gender. Once this has been answered, the results are all tallied and his or her final personality and resulting [[Pokémon (species)|Pokémon]] is determined.

The player will then be given a Pokémon relating to the personality type that he or she scored highest in. In the event of a tie between multiple personality types, one will be chosen randomly out of those the test-taker scored highest in. Finally, the player's choice of gender dictates which of two Pokémon he or she will get for that personality.

===Gender differences===

|-
! {{p|Skitty}}
| (not available)|| Hasty || Skitty is so adorable that its {{a|Cute Charm}} Ability can even infatuate its foes.
|-
|}

Note that this gives a choice of 16 possible Pokémon, with 6 of them unique to a particular gender. Cyndaquil, Machop and Meowth are only available to males, while Chikorita, Eevee and Skitty are only available to females.

==Strategy==
For the test-taker to get a particular Pokémon, he/she should keep the following in mind:
* Six of the sixteen possible Pokémon are available to one gender only - they will not be possible to get if the wrong gender is picked.
* The personality of the intended Pokémon should be noted. The test-taker should always answer questions that increase that personality trait.
* When asked a question that doesn't have an answer for the player's chosen personality, the player should pick answers that increase traits that they haven't answered for yet and have low increases. It's often better to answer a question with something that increases a bunch of traits by 1 instead of an answer that increases a single trait by two or even three.

If the chosen trait is increased high enough and the rest are kept below that, then the chosen Pokémon will be obtained. There is some luck involved with which questions will be asked, however.

==The Questions==
The test-taker will only be asked one question out of any Category chosen, unless his/her answer to a question deliberately redirects the test-taker to another question within that category. The test-taker will also only be asked questions from 8 Categories maximum before he/she is given the final question to determine the test-taker's gender.

After taking the test, the game will say a bit about what the test-taker described him/herself like. After describing, it will reveal the test-taker's Pokémon.

==Your Partner==
[[File:Partner selection PMD.png|thumb|245px|Choosing your partner]]
Now it's time to choose a partner. There are ten different partners for you to choose from, but your partner cannot be the same type as your character. The available partners are:

*Bulbasaur
*Charmander
*Squirtle
*Chikorita
*Cyndaquil
*Totodile
*Treecko
*Torchic
*Mudkip
*Pikachu

The player is unable to choose a partner that matches the [[type]] of your his or her own Pokémon. Hence, Bulbasaur, Chikorita and Treecko cannot choose a {{type|Grass}} partner; Charmander, Cyndaquil and Torchic cannot choose a {{type|Fire}} partner; and Squirtle, Totodile, Mudkip and Psyduck cannot choose a {{type|Water}} partner. Furthermore, if the player gets Pikachu as a result of the personality test, he or she cannot also choose Pikachu as your partner.

CuteShaymin:

When starting a new game, a quiz will test you in order to confirm what Pokémon you will be. Each question gives nature points, and each Pokémon have their own nature, which will also determine what Pokémon you are.

Note that {{p|Munchlax}} and {{p|Meowth}} can't be the player character, and can only be chosen as partners.

== Questions ==

The game always starts off with:
*"''Did you play Explorers of Time or Explorers of Darkness?''"

This does not give any personality points by itself. Additionally, the following Pokémon's base recruit rate will be doubled as long as the player has not recruited them already. Most of these can be found in dungeons found at various points of the main story; Pokémon marked with a dagger (†) can be recruited only after the credits roll.

=== Gender ===

*Are you a male or a female?
**Male.
**Female.

If you have picked Yes to the question about Time and Darkness, this question will give 4 points towards the Natures of the new starters: {{p|Phanpy}}, {{p|Shinx}} and {{p|Riolu}} as a male, and {{p|Vulpix}} and {{p|Eevee}} as a female. However, due to the nature of this quiz, it does not necessarily guarantee them.

=== Final Directions ===

Choose 1 of these. After this, it will tell you to put a finger on a white bow. Don't take off your finger (or stylus) until it tells you to do so. It will then pick a color (which will likely be the same color as the device's DS GUI color, but can be chosen at random as well), as well displaying the Pokémon you will play the game as based on your quiz results.

Then, you are allowed to choose a partner. Note that you can't choose a partner who is the same type as you.
== Review of the starters==
While it is possible to clear the game with any of the starters and as such first time around it is a good idea to either pick Pokémon you like or go with the quiz's results, certain starters fare better in this game than others.
<div class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed roundy" style="margin:auto; border: 3px solid #{{MD sky color}}; padding:3px">
*Bulbasaur:
**'''Pros''': Learns 3 pretty useful moves naturally: {{m|Sleep Powder}}, {{m|Razor Leaf}} and {{m|Leech Seed}}. Sleep Powder puts every enemy adjacent to Bulbasaur to sleep, which in a grid-based game can be difference between life and death; Razor Leaf is a projectile, letting it attack from safe distance, while Leech Seed damages at a much faster pace than poison or burn, while also healing (though since it counts as indirect damage, Pokémon defeated with it won't give any EXP). Additionally being a {{type|Grass}}, it also has access to STAB {{m|Bullet Seed}} via TMs (and {{m|Energy Ball}}), letting it tear apart things from distance. While Grass/Poison isn't exactly the best typing, a surprising amount of dungeons in main story are full of Water-, Rock-, or Ground-types, and it has relatively decent matchup against many boss fights. Its F IQ group while not the best has access to skills scarecely available among starters: Multitalent (+5 to max PP), Sharpshooter (increased critical hit ratio), All-Terrain Hiker (mobility through anything except walls, although lava still burns), Trap Buster (chance to permanently remove a trap, stopping it from being a nuiasnce), on top of the more common but always useful skills like PP Saver (8% chance to use move for free), Pierce Hurler (thrown items keep going, including stat boosters), Stair Sensor (gives a vague idea of where the stairs are relative to your starting position), Self-curer (status ailments last half as long) and Gap Prober (projectiles do not harm allies, letting you use Bullet Seed more freely).
**'''Cons''': Its movepool doesn't offer much in diversity, type or otherwise - most of the TMs it learns are things many other Pokémon learn and the few that don't aren't too useful in this game. The only moves that aren't Normal or STAB it can learn are {{m|Rock Smash}} (not an attacking move here) and {{m|Natural Gift}} (a universal TM; while it does not use-up items like in main series, you still have to give up a held item). Thankfully this is somewhat mitigated by weakness being only 1.4x instead of 2x (meaning STAB bonus is worth more than a single weakness) and the things it can learn are rather serviceable. An early boss fight is against a {{type|Psychic}}, at which point you have very few options to strengthen yourself. The 3-star [[exclusive item]] that doesn't have a typical effect (Plant Torc; [[:Category:HP-draining moves|HP draining attacks]] heal with 100% efficiency rather than 50%) is somewhat niche, as Bulbasaur learns only one draining move affected by it: Giga Drain. Additionally, at Lv. 100 its attack stats are a bit behind compared to the average.

*Chikorita:
**'''Pros''': Similarly to Bulbasaur, it's a Grass-type, so it has access to Bullet Seed and {{m|Energy Ball}} projectiles via TMs, as well as Razor Leaf naturally. It also learns {{m|Aromatherapy}}, for healing status in pinch.Its strongest point is its unique IQ group amongst starting choices: H. Offensively it gets little: Deep Breather (restores 1PP every floor) and Wary Fighter (if a move misses the user automatically steps away). Support-wise however, it is quite useful: Self-Curer, Brick Tough (+10HP), Coin Watcher (1.2x to picked money), Wise Healer (healing items and moves heal 15% more), Quick Healer (increased natural HP regeneration), All-Terrain Hiker, Trap Buster (might permanently remove a trap, Critical Dodger (prevents critical hits), Quick Dodger (enenemy attacks suffer flat accuracy penalty during the calculations), Fast Friend (+5% recruitment rate, required for Kecleon), as well as Nature Gifter (Seeds and Berries consumed by leader affect the entire team). While the stats it reaches during main game are nothing spectacular, for whatever its attacking stats explode at the levels you reach in postgame, having one of the best natural Sp. Atk and being basically 15 points ahead of second lpace in Attack at Lv. 100, as well as having one of the highest natural HP pools, at the cost of being the slowest starter to level-up.
**'''Cons''': Moveset-wise is basically a worse Bulbasaur, not learning Leech Seed or Sleep Powder, and it doesn't have the secondary typing that alleviates the many Grass-type weakness. The screen moves are useless in this game as they only affect the user and Safeguard doesn't last long enough to be worth it. The standout exclusive item is also the same. This is not a Pokémon that will help you much during story, it shines mostly if you aim for 100% completion.

*Treecko
**'''Pros''': Aside from the typical perks of being a Grass-type, it also has access to useful moves naturally: Agility, Detect and Screech. Agility raises Movement Speed of allies in the same room by one stage (up to three stacks), which not only lets you take extra movement actions, but also use two moves in one turn, while Detect makes it immune to attacks for multiple turns (unlike just one turn in main series). Screech massively cuts down target's physical Defense, making it useful for bosses. On top of that, it has pretty wide TM compatibility, being able to learn Dig, Aerial Ace, Rock Slide and Rock Tomb, as well as Focus Punch (which in this game simply is a charging move), Brick Break and Drain Punch, which allow it to have type advantage against many boss fights (with moveset expanding even further once it finally is able to evolve). Additionally, it is the only Grass-type starter whose standout exclusive item is not related to HP absorption, instead effectively granting it permanent Mini Counter (always countering adjacent physical attacks for 25% damage). Its IQ group D has useful offense and survivability skills, such as PP Save, Self-Curer, Gap Prober, Concentrator (raise accuracy at the cost of evasion, which helps with Bullet Seed's shaky accuracy), Sharpshooter, Clutch Performer (increases evasion by 2 levels at low health), Critical Dodger, Extra Striker and Quick Striker (33% and 100% chance to use regular attack twice in a row), as well as Quick Dodger, on top of the always useful Stair Sensor and Trap Seer (only visible traps trigger their effects).
**'''Cons''': Similarly to Bulbasaur, at Lv. 100 it lags somewhat behind when it comes to natural attacking stats, though mostly in physical attack.

*Turtwig
**'''Pros''': Like Bulbasaur, it naturally learns Razor Leaf and Leech Seed. Unlike Bulbasaur, its level-up moveset is a bit better, as it actually naturally learns HP-draining moves to complement its standout exclusive item, as well as Bite and Crunch for type coverage. Its IQ group E consits of relatively uncommon skills among starters, putting focus on survivability rather than offense: Brick Tough, Survivalist (1.1x Belly gain, 50% to ignore Grimy Food's penalty), Wise Healer, Wary Fighter, Deep Breather, Defender (+1 stage to both defending stats at cost of -1 to both attacking stats), Energy Saver (Belly empties at 75% the rate), Quick Healer (increased natural HP regen), with its offense options being Cheerleader, Power Pitcher (thrown items do 50% more damage), Counter Hitter (12% to counter for 25% damage), Sure-Hit Attacker (regular attack ignores accuracy checks) and the very useful Intimidator (33% chance to cancel adjacent foe's attack). At Lv. 100 it has above average defensive stats.
**'''Cons''': Lags a bit offensively at Lv. 100 like Treecko. Like Bulbasaur, its TM compatibility isn't really anything great (though unlike Bulbasaur it gets a bit better after it evolves).

*Charmander
**'''Pros''': Being a Fire-type grants it natural access to Flamethrower, a projectile move, as well {{m|Blast Burn}}, which hits everything around the user for heavy damage (which makes being paused for one turn usually not a problem). as well as ability to walk on lava (though in this game lava only starts appearing in postgame dungeons). It also has access to {{m|Smokescreen}}, a move that makes enemies helpless, by making their moves always miss. While the standout exclusive items of all Fire-type starters (other than Vulpix) have the same effect, increased movement speed in Sunny weather is way less niche. Additionally, it has one of the best lategame stat growths, with only HP and Attack not being notably above average. Its IQ group C is shared with other Fire-type staters (other than again, Vulpix), granting it access to useful offensive and survivability skills: Brick Tough, Power Pitcher, Survivalist, Nonsleeper, Erratic Player (type advantage multipliers become more extreme), Clutch Performer, Extra Striker, Intimidator and Pierce Hurler. It has access to some type variety via TMs that is mostly similar to Treecko, exchanging Drain Punch for Dragon Claw and Shadow Claw. Once it finally evolves into Charizard, it gets access to {{m|Heat Wave}}, a room-wide Fire move.
**'''Cons''': As mentioned in Bulbasaur's section, a lot of main story dungeons have many Rock-, Ground- or Water-type Pokémon, all of which Fire-types are weak to (but thankfully can all be covered by Grass-type). Also important of note is that, although Charizard is part Flying-type, it does ''not'' hover in this game and can only walk on lava as other Fire-types.

*Cyndaquil
**'''Pros''': The typical Fire-type perks of projectile move in Flamethrower, ability to walk on lava, Sunny weather exclusive item, and the useful C IQ group skills. Like Charmander, it has access to Smokescreen, but unlike it, it also has Lava Plume (which deals damage to everyone adjacent). It has best natural HP growth, though unlike Charmander its Defenses at Lv. 100 are average.
**'''Cons''': On top of the unfavorable Charmander type matchups, Cyndaquil's type variety is low, only having Dig and Aerial Ace (on top of Natural Gift). While with Grass-type starters not having access to other types was somewhat inconvenient but not outright bad, certain Fire-types that have {{a|Flash Fire}} will be completely immune to your STAB attacks, as well as making it hard to effectively use Erratic Player. It also takes much more EXP to level-up than most starters, only really behind Chikorita.

*Torchic
**'''Pros''': Typical Fire-type perks. While it doesn't have Smokescreen like Charmander or Cyndaquil, it has an equally useful in {{m|Mirror Move}}, which lets it bounce back any adjacent moves back at the user. It also gets Focus Energy, which in this game for a short period of time guarantees critical hits (unless the target is immune to them, such as via Battle Armor). Upon evolving gets STAB Double Kick.
**'''Cons''': Typical bad Fire type main story matchups.

*Chimchar
**'''Pros''': Typical Fire-type perks. Has great natural offensive and defensive stats at Lv. 100 like Charmander and good TM type variety, though not as good (lacking Rock and Dragon moves). Notably has access to {{m|U-turn}}, which in this game behaves like a stronger Quick Attack. Also naturally learns {{m|Fury Swipes}}, a multi-hitting move. The evolved forms get access to {{m|Feint}}, which goes through Protect, though at that point it's a bit late, as well as {{m|Mach Punch}} for STAB attack with some range.
**'''Cons''': Typical bad Fire type main story matchups. Unlike the other Fire starters, it doesn't learn any strong support moves (outside of the universal Protect).

*Vulpix
**'''Pros''': It's not a main series Fire starter, so while it gets the typical Flamethrower and lava walking, its standout exclusive item works differently (halves the power of special attacks, which is always helpful) and its IQ skill group is G, focusing on very useful support skills: Acute Sniffer (reveals amount of items on floor), PP Saver, Self-curer, Quick Healer, Critical Dodger, Quick Dodger, Stair Sensor and Map Surveyor (reveals floor's layout; synergizes well with Stair Sensor) as well as having Erratic Player and Quick Striker. Its Ability is Flash Fire instead of Blaze, which grants it one of the few true immunities in this game (since type immunities are instead just 0.5x), and while its type variety isn't as great as Charmander or Chimchar, it naturally learns {{m|Confuse Ray}} (confuses enemy, making them wander around), {{m|Imprison}} (in this game immobilizes enemy), and {{m|Roar}} (pushes enemy away), granting it quite the tools to cripple strong foes, as well as Dark Pulse via TM (which hits every adjacent enemy). It also has the Egg Move {{m|Faint Attack}}, which is near guaranteed to hit and in Sky specifically has reasonable amount of PP.
**'''Cons''': Its HP and attacking stats are bit behind most starters during main story and only get ridiculously more behind at Lv. 100 (though at least it levels up the fastest). Also available only as a female.

*Squirtle
**'''Pros''': Being a Water-type grants it the ability to walk on water, which unlike lava is plenty common before postgame, as well as learning {{m|Water Pulse}}, {{m|Hydro Pump}} and {{m|Ice Beam}} for projectiles (the last only via TM), but most importantly: {{m|Blizzard}}, the room-wide move, which helps immensely in situations like Monster House or group boss fights (as well as some type variety via TMs). It also naturally learns {{m|Protect}}, which protects from moves like Treecko's Detect and {{m|Rain Dance}}, which in this game is instead on a Wonder Orb, to cancel annoying weather. Water-types also are only weak to Grass and Electric moves, while being good against the Ground and Rock-types somewhat common in main story. It has the defensively focused E IQ group like Turtwig.
**'''Cons''': Its standout exclusive item is niche, as it halves damage from explosions. Being a Water-type also means being weak to the Amp Plains boss fight, though at that point you are less helpess than in case of Bulbasaur's early bad matchup.

*Totodile
**'''Pros''': Typical Water-type perks. Has the survivability IQ group skill E. Naturally has some type variety: Bite, Crunch, Ice Fang and Superpower, as well as some more via TMs. Also learns Screech like Treecko and has the counter effect exclusive item.
**'''Cons''': The variety in its natural movepool is counteracted by the fact that Water Gun is its only natural STAB until level 41, or around the end of main story. Like Squirtle, it is weak to the Amp Plains boss fight.

*Mudkip
**'''Pros''': Typical Water-type perks. Although in this generation only Mudkip learns Hydro Pump, given how long it takes before you can even evolve your starter, it doesn't matter. It gets Protect naturally like Squirtle and {{m|Mud Sport}} to alleviate its Electric-type weakness. Unlike most starters, it has two standout exclusive items as Mudkip's 3-star item makes the user immune to thrown items (while Marshtomp sometimes causes Shadow Hold on attackers, the status caused by trapping effects like {{m|Mean Look}}). It also has access to the useful skills of F IQ group skills like Multitalent or All-Terrain Hiker. Upon evolution it becomes part Ground, making it only weak to Grass-types (which it can cover with Blizzard).
**'''Cons''': It doesn't really get much variety in moves, but thanfully, it doesn't need to, given the moves it has access to. As usual being a Water-type means being weak to Amp Plains boss, though thankfully Mud Sport gives you more breathing room.

*Piplup
**'''Pros''': Typical Water-type perks. Learns {{m|Peck}} and {{m|Drill Peck}} to cover Grass-types. Its standout exclusive item is the same as Treecko and Totodile's. Has F IQ group, like Mudkip. Upon evolving twice into Empoleon gains Steel-type, the best defensive type in this game.
**'''Cons''': Typical Water-type struggle with Amp Plains.

*Meowth
**'''Pros''': Learns some useful offensive moves: {{m|Faint Attack}}, STAB {{m|Fury Swipes}}, as well as {{m|Pay Day}} to force enemies to drop money in case you ever run low (though that's not super likely), as well as Screech for bosses. Being a Normal-type grants it better TM coverage than the starters above, as it has access to {{m|Water Pulse}}, {{m|Thunderbolt}}, {{m|Shock Wave}}, {{m|Shadow Ball}}, {{m|Dark Pulse}} and {{m|U-turn}}. {{a|Pickup}} lets it grab extra items at random (as long as you remember to take away its held item regularly). Eventually it gets access to Feint, which lets it deal with the pesky Protect/Detect abusing AI, though kinda late compared to other starters. It also gets Hypnosis as an Egg Move, which has much better accuracy in this game than in main series.
**'''Cons''': Partner-only, so for a long time you can't use it yourself. {{a|Technician}} in this game affects very few moves, making it useless outside of niche scenarios. As a Normal-type, its STAB will be a bit less useful during a certain lategame main story arc.

*Eevee
**'''Pros''': Has {{a|Adaptability}}, which means every Normal move will hit twice as hard, and given the type matchups in this game, that means Eevee's Normal-type moves will hit nearly everything for at least 100% the damage. It has access to the useful F group IQ skills like Multitalent and PP-Saver for extra usage on her moves, or All-Terrain Hiker so that it gets to move everywhere. Once it can finally evolve, it has an amazing variety that lets it fulfill other purposes; for example the Fire/Water/Electric ones receive abilities that absorb their type of attack (at the cost of losing the useful Adaptability)
**'''Cons''': Female only. Movepool is lacking for a Normal-type due to its gimmick. Run Away makes Eevee as partner very unreliable, since it will uncontrollably run away after getting damaged enough. Bad stats compared to other starters even during main story, only Attack gets decent at Lv. 100. Additionally, unlike every other starter, its evolutionary family does not benefit from rest of the family's items, which given the family's type variety could make for an interesting niche if they did (Eevee's grant it immunity to weather and 10% more EXP gain, while Eeveelution's cause various status ailments on attackers). Also technically, Eevee's stat growth is different from its evolutions unlike all other starters, in that while they have higher starting stats, they gain ''less'' via level-ups until around Lv. 60 (which thankfully you should be close to by the time you can evolve).

*Skitty
**'''Pros''': Similarly to Meowth it learns {{m|Faint Attack}} and multihit move in {{m|Double Slap}}, as well as Water Pulse, Ice Beam, Thunderbolt, Shadow Ball, Shock Wave and most importantly, Blizzard. Its {{a|Normalize}} means it will get STAB on every move, which given this game's type matchups means at worst 74% the usual damage to Ghost-types and the occassional Steel/Rock dual type - but unlike Eevee, it gets access to the Blizzard, meaning it gets to have effectively STAB room-wide move that very few things take reduced damage from. It also gets {{m|Heal Bell}} in case you are worried about status ailments. Its standout exclusive item increases the speed at which it recovers HP.
**'''Cons''': Female only. Normalize also affects regular attack and throwing items, which otherwise are typeless. ...That's about it, really. While not quite ''as'' hilariously strong as in Rescue Team due to overhaul of infatuation mechanic, Skitty is still a solid choice that makes it feel completely different compared to how it fares in main series.

*Munchlax
**'''Pros''': Learns Screech and {{m|Rollout}} (which here is a multihit move), and is one of the few Pokémon altogether that learns {{m|Recycle}} naturally, allowing you to reuse [[TM]]s (though AI will never use it on its own; the move has to be linked). As a Normal-type, it has good TM variety. Starts with Zen Headbutt to cover its only weakness. Gets Pickup for items and {{a|Thick Fat}} for resistance to Fire and Ice moves (though the former becomes {{a|Immunity}} after evolution). Although it has only one exclusive item that does something other than raise stats and it's the kind that most get, this line having only one weakness makes that item much more useful. Has a bit of HP advantage over most starters even in main story, on top of the E IQ group that focuses ons survivability.
**'''Cons''': Partner only. Early on, a lot of its natural moveset is status moves, many of which aren't too useful.

*Pikachu
**'''Pros''': Naturally gets access to some powerful moves: {{m|Thunder Wave}} (if it hits, guaranteed paralysis, which in this game completely prevents actions on top of reducing Movement Speed by one,so it's useful for crippling bosses), Thunderbolt, Agility and {{m|Discharge}} (room-wide Electric move), which means it gets both Movement Speed ''and'' room wide move naturally, usually just in time for the final dungeon of main story, especially with the D IQ group that grants access to offensive and survivability skills. It also gets {{m|Double Team}} in case you feel like playing with RNG or Feint if you have problems with Protect status abusers. It levels up faster than most starters and it gets pretty good Lv. 100 attacking stats. {{a|Static}} can cause attackers to get paralyzed. One of its standout exclusive items gives it a bit extra PP. Since it has only one weakness, the final form 3-star item effectively grants it no weakness. Also on a technical note, since Shinx is the only Electric-type choice, picking this as your starter barely limits your partner choices.
**'''Cons''': Its movepool is a bit lacking outside of Normal and Electric moves. Ground-types are a bit common in main story (though since this is its only weakness it can be easily covered), and {{a|Lightning Rod}} users cripple its strongest attacks. While it gets two standout exclusive items, the second one is pretty much useless, as ignoring Reflect and Light Screen is very niche due to the way work in this game.

*Shinx
**'''Pros''': Starts with Quick Attack for range. Gets {{m|Thunder Fang}}, which rolls for both paralysis and cringing (equivalent of flinching), the latter being more useful in this game due to changes in battle system, as well as Discharge around the same time as Pikachu, and Roar. Good postgame Defense growths. Has two standout exclusive items, granting it extra PP on moves and effect similar to {{a|Static}} (on top of the third special one negating its only weakness like Pikachu). Also on a technical note, since Shinx is the only Electric-type choice, picking this as your starter barely limits your partner choices. Has the C IQ group skill with offensive and survivability skills, letting it attack more freely. It levels up somewhat faster than others, too.
**'''Cons''': Its Attack stats kinda fall off in postgame compared to others. Unlike Pikachu, it does not start with STAB move and does not get Thunder Wave or Thunderbolt naturally and has less type variety in TMs.

*Phanpy
**'''Pros''': The only starters that starts as a Ground-type, so it doesn't restrict your partner choices and takes the least damage from Amp Plains boss. Its standout exclusive item makes Hidden Stairs more likely to appear, which is quite a rare effect that can help getting some rare items in the postgame. Has Pickup for items (which upon evolution becomes Sturdy, protecting it from OHKOs which in this game are simply very unlikely to hit). Gets Rollout, {{m|Endure}} to survive longer than it should (since like Protect and Detect, it lasts multiple turns in this game) and {{m|Charm}} (which massively reduces target's Attack stat, letting it cripple bosses). {{m|AncientPower}} has a chance to boost all stats. When it does evolve, it finally gets more usable attacking moves, such as {{m|Fire Fang}}, ThunderFang, and Fury Attack. Its E IQ group focuses on survivability, complementing the one part of Phanpy's stats that isn't bad.
**'''Cons''': Horrible movepool. It gets ''no'' STAB naturally until evolution and the only Ground move it gets at all before that is {{m|Earthquake}}, which hits your allies as well. Most of the attacking moves it does learn are really bad (({{m|Flail}} requires you to be at low HP, {{m|Take Down}} and {{m|Double-Edge}} hurt user as well, Natural Gift relies on an item, {{m|Slam}} has no extra effects despite its bad accuracy, {{m|Last Resort}} requires to use other moves and itself has very little PP). Even with TMs, it doesn't get that many good moves. And as a final nail in the coffin, its HP and attacking stats are simply behind even in main story and get even more behind in postgame, meaning it you will have to use many stat boosters (though at least it levels up pretty fast). Additionally, while not as bad as Fire-types, Ground-type will be at a disadvantage in some dungeons (especially given Phanpy's movepool). To put it simply, Phanpy is quite bad - while Eevee suffers from stats and type variety as well, it at least hits hard enemies with its Normal-type moves and it has great evolution variety after it can finally evolve. Phanpy doesn't get that. If you want a challenge, pick this as your starter and Eevee as your partner. Also male-only for whatever reason.

*Riolu
**'''Pros''': The only starter in the roster that starts as Fighting-type, picking this does not restrict your partner options at all. Inner Focus prevents cringing. Starts with Bite to cover Psychic-types (which helps given an early boss is a Psychic-type). Gets {{m|Foresight}} to hit Ghost-types (which eventually gets replaced by its 3-star item, which does that but passively), Endure, {{m|Force Palm}} (STAB move that can paralyze), Feint and Screech. Fighting-type are supereffective against many types, so starting as one helps in certain important boss fights all over the game , on top of having C IQ group skill, which means it can benefit from offensive skills such as Erratic Player. Gets some type coverage via TMs. On evolution his moveset greatly expands, gaining natural access to Dark Pulse, {{m|Aura Sphere}} (projectile that ignores accuracy check), {{m|Bone Rush}} (multihit Ground-type move), as well as some extra TM moves like Water Pulse, on top of gaining the defensively great Steel-type.
**'''Cons''': Male only. Shallow natural movepool until evolution compared to pretty much everyone else - it learns its last move at 29, though at least it gets some useful moves before evolving. Steadfast is crippled by Inner Focus and as such will trigger only under specific conditions. For whatever reason, its natural attacking stats fall somewhat behind in main story and its physical Attack even moreso in postgame.

Hero Pokémon

2024-08-13T06:24:38Z

CuteShaymin:

{{incomplete|article|Information about the Hero's role in the story for each game.}}
{{search|the protagonist in Pokémon Mystery Dungeon games|the Legendary Pokémon of Galar often referred to as heroes|legendary heroes}}
The '''hero Pokémon''' or '''hero''' is the protagonist and starting [[player character]] of the games in the [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series]]. It is accompanied by the {{md|partner Pokémon}}.

==Terminology==
===Hero Pokémon===
This is known as "'''hero Pokémon'''" in the manuals of [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team]]. For instance:

* ''"You can see how to control the '''hero Pokémon''' by reading this section."''
* ''"When you touch the '''hero Pokémon''', it takes one step in the direction it's facing."''

===Hero===
This has been shortened to "'''hero'''" in the manuals of [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time, Darkness]], and [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky|Sky]]. For instance:

* ''"{{p|Meowth}} and {{p|Munchlax}} are only candidates for the partner. They are not available as candidates for the '''hero'''."''
* ''"The '''hero''' moves by taking the shortest route and stops on reaching that spot."''
* ''"If the '''hero'''{{'}}s Belly is empty, the '''hero''' loses 1 HP on every turn."''

===Other terms===
The "'''leader'''" is the character currently being controlled by the player. Therefore, the hero Pokémon may or may not be the leader at a given point in time.

==In the games==
In the main storyline from the Rescue Team and Explorers titles, the hero is the only Pokémon that the player can control while the partner an other Pokémon (if any) follow the hero. In the post-game, the player is no longer required to play specifically as the hero, and can choose to play as any other Pokémon in the team, with the option to switch leaders while exploring the dungeon.

=== Personality and characteristics ===
The hero Pokémon rarely talks out loud; instead thinking to themselves in parenthecies. They lack a defined personality, because the player is intended to imagine themselves in their place.

=== Story role ===

==== Red Rescue Team, Blue Rescue Team, and Rescue Team DX ====
The hero first wakes up in the [[Tiny Woods]] to the voice of the partner. They tell the partner that they are a human, to which the partner points out that they look like a normal Pokémon. The hero is shocked by this, as they do not remember anything. Just then, [[Butterfree (Pokémon)|Butterfree]] comes shouting for help because her son [[Caterpie (Red and Blue Rescue Team)|Caterpie]] fell into a fissure and can't get out. The hero and partner head into the dungeon to rescue Caterpie. Afterwards, the partner says to the hero that since they don't have anywhere to go, they should follow them. The partner takes the hero to a vacant house that happens to be on the outskirts of [[Pokémon Square]]. There, the partner asks the hero if they would be interested in forming a [[Team|rescue team]] with them. The hero agrees, and the next day, they find the partner sleeping outside, having waited for the hero outside their house since dawn. The partner checks the mailbox and finds the Rescue Team Starter Kit inside, which contains the Toolbox and Rescue Team Badges. Then [[Pelipper (Red and Blue Rescue Team)|Pelipper]] comes and delivers a rescue request from [[Magnemite (Pokémon)|Magnemite]] at [[Thunderwave Cave]]. They travel there and rescue the two Magnemite. Two days later, they meet [[Diglett (Pokémon)|Diglett]], who is having fun digging tunnels outside. The next day, Diglett's father, [[Dugtrio (Pokémon)|Dugtrio]], informs them that he has been kidnapped by a Pokémon named [[Skarmory (Pokémon)|Skarmory]] and taken to the summit of [[Mt. Steel]]. When they go to confront Skarmory, it claims that it kidnapped Diglett because the recent earthquakes are caused by its kind. The hero and partner defeat Skarmory, but they have no idea how to rescue Diglett, who is trapped on a cliff on the other side. Just then, the two Magnemite they rescued earlier show up, and help lift Diglett out. The partner realizes that adding more members to the rescue team would be a good idea. The next day, they go to the Camp Corner, run by Wigglytuff, where he sells Camps for recruits to live at. There is a special deal for new rescue teams where they get three free Camps. However, at the request of Magnemite, Wigglytuff also throws in the Power Plant camp for free, giving them four free Camps. As they are heading back home, they see a [[Jumpluff (Pokémon)|Jumpluff]] asking [[Shiftry (Red and Blue Rescue Team)|Shiftry]] to rescue its Jumpluff friend. Shiftry initially refuses, but when [[Team A.C.T.]], a famous [[Rank (Mystery Dungeon)|Gold Rank]] rescue team consisting of [[Alakazam (Pokémon)|Alakazam]], [[Charizard (Pokémon)|Charizard]], and [[Tyranitar (Pokémon)|Tyranitar]], shows up, he is pressured into accepting Jumpluff's request. A few days later, [[Team Meanies]] shows up at the rescue team base and steals their mail. Later, Caterpie from before shows up at the rescue team base and asks them to rescue his friend [[Metapod (Red and Blue Rescue Team)|Metapod]] in [[Sinister Woods]]. Team Meanies then shows up, saying they'll be the first to rescue Metapod, and that Caterpie will join them as their reward since he has no [[Poké]] to give them. In Sinister Woods, Team Meanies tries to battle them to stop them from rescuing Metapod. They defeat Team Meanies however, and save Metapod. The next day, the Jumpluff from earlier has come seeking the rescue team's help because Shiftry never came back from the rescue mission. They head to the [[Silent Chasm]] to find Shiftry and Jumpluff. When they reach the end of the dungeon, they find Shiftry. However, [[Zapdos (Pokémon)|Zapdos]] soon appears and kidnaps Shiftry, challenging them to come to [[Mt. Thunder]] to rescue him.

==== Explorers of Time, Darkness, and Sky ====
The hero wakes up on the [[Beach (Explorers of Time, Darkness, and Sky)|beach]] outside of [[Treasure Town]] after the partner finds them lying unconscious there. Soon after, [[Koffing (Pokémon)|Koffing]] and [[Zubat (Pokémon)|Zubat]] of [[Team Skull (Mystery Dungeon)|Team Skull]] attack the partner and steal their [[Relic Fragment]], fleeing to [[Beach Cave]]. After the hero and partner get the Relic Fragment back, the partner suggests that the two of them join [[Wigglytuff's Guild]] together.

===Available Pokémon===
{{Incomplete|needs=It doesn't say which nature is associated with each Pokémon}}
In Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team|Red Rescue Team, Blue Rescue Team]], [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness|Explorers of Time, Explorers of Darkness]], and [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky|Explorers of Sky]], the player cannot directly choose their hero Pokémon. Instead, they have to complete a [[personality quiz]], which then uses their gender and answers to determine which Pokémon they should be.

In the [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon (WiiWare)|Adventure Squad]] games and [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Gates to Infinity|Gates to Infinity]], the hero Pokémon is chosen manually.

In [[Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon]] and [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Rescue Team DX]], the player can choose the hero Pokémon directly or via a personality quiz.

==Types of ice tile==
===Slippery ice tile===
[[File:Slip ice demo.png|thumb|right|200px|{{ga|Ethan}} slides around the [[Ice Path]]]]
When the player moves onto this tile, they will slide in the direction which they walk. They will continue sliding in this direction until they hit an obstacle or land on another form of tile. This type of ice tile was first introduced in Generation II. Its most prominent use is in [[Mahogany Gym]] and [[Ice Path]]; it has continued to be featured in all generations since. The slippery ice tile is used to create maze-like puzzles, in which the player has to work out which way to slide and what obstacles to hit in order to continue. It has also been used in [[Shoal Cave]], [[Icefall Cave]], [[Snowpoint Gym]], the [[Snowpoint Temple]], the caves of [[Seafoam Islands]]{{sup/4|HGSS}}, [[Cold Storage]], [[Icirrus Gym]], and one of the areas inside the Badge Check Gate on [[Unova Route 10]]. In {{season|winter}} in the [[Unova]] region, [[puddle]]s freeze over and act as slippery ice tiles; these puddles are found in [[Icirrus City]], {{rt|8|Unova}}, and the [[Moor of Icirrus]]. A similar slippery tile is used in the [[Trick House]], though it is not made of ice.

In [[Pokémon Black and White Versions 2|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2]], [[Team Plasma]] uses the [[Plasma Frigate]], powered by {{p|Kyurem}}, to freeze {{rt|9|Unova}}, [[Opelucid City]], and {{rt|11|Unova}}. Ice tiles cover all of the areas that have been frozen over.

In [[Pokémon X and Y]], they appear in the [[Frost Cavern]], as well as briefly in [[Snowbelle Gym]].

===Cracked ice tile===
This form of tile was first introduced in {{2v2|Ruby|Sapphire}} in [[Sootopolis Gym]]. If a player walks on the tile once, the ice becomes cracked. If the player walks over a cracked tile, the [[hole|ice will break]] and the player will fall through to a cavern below. This type of tile was also featured alongside the slippery variety in {{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}} in [[Icefall Cave]].

A similar non-ice tile can also be found in the [[Sky Pillar]] as well as the [[Mirage Tower]]{{sup/3|E}}.

===Plain ice tile===
The caves of [[Seafoam Islands]], [[Ice Path]], [[Shoal Cave]], [[Icefall Cave]], Iceberg Chamber in [[Underground Ruins]], [[Frost Cavern]] and [[Mount Lanakila]], [[Snowbelle Gym]], the bridge to Glacia's room in [[Ever Grande City]]{{sup/6|ORAS}}, and [[Sootopolis Gym]]{{sup/6|ORAS}} all contain ice tiles that function as [[cave tile]]s.

==In battle==
Certain moves have special effects when used in a battle on an ice tile.

*{{m|Secret Power}}: has a 30% chance of {{status|freezing}} its target and the appearance of {{m|Ice Shard}}
*{{m|Nature Power}}: turns into {{m|Ice Beam}}
*{{m|Camouflage}}: makes the user {{type|Ice}}

'''Shaymin''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''シェイミ''' ''Shaymin'') is a {{type|Grass}} [[Mythical Pokémon]] introduced in [[Generation IV]].

While it is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from another Pokémon, Shaymin has a [[#Form data|second form]] activated by using a [[Gracidea|Gracidea flower]] in the [[time|daytime]]. Its original form, '''Land Forme''', will then become the {{2t|Grass|Flying}}-type '''Sky Forme'''. Shaymin's Sky Forme will revert into and remain in its Land Forme during the night or when {{status|frozen}}. Other circumstances may also cause it to revert.

(Specifics may differ in past games. Refer to [[#Form data|Game data→Form data]] for these details.)

Shaymin was officially revealed in February 2008, when it was listed as a star of ''[[M11|Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]''. In early June of the same year, its Sky Forme was revealed.

==Biology==
[[File:Shaymin M11 flowers.png|thumb|left|250px|Land Forme Shaymin's extra petals]]
Shaymin is a small, white, {{wp|hedgehog}}-like {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. In Land Forme, it has green grass-like fur on its back and a pink flower with two leaves on each side of its head, which resembles the [[Gracidea]] flower. More flowers appear on its back whenever it feels comfortable, but when it senses danger, it rapidly hides them again. Its legs are short and its underside is plump. Shaymin is one of the [[List of Pokémon by height|shortest]] {{type|Grass}} Pokémon.

[[File:Shaymin Land Forme toxic petals.png|thumb|250px|Land Forme Shaymin's petals after absorbing toxins]]
Shaymin can instantly purify any polluted area of all impurities in the air and transform it into a lush field of flowers. It takes in the polluted air, purifies it inside its body, breaks it down into water and light, and releases the purified substance in a violent, explosive burst. Its power varies based on the type of pollution absorbed. Shaymin can also communicate with telepathy and sense the gratitude of others.

Each season, Shaymin gathers with others in a flower field somewhere and migrates from there. This behavior is called Flower Carrying, because a new field of flowers grow wherever it lands. Shaymin is also attracted to areas where there is a lot of gratitude. Land Forme Shaymin has a shy personality and is easily scared. If wet, it shakes itself dry. It also exhibits the behavior of scratching itself with its hind leg. Shaymin lives in fields of flowers. Since it camouflages by curling itself up, it can easily escape people's notice. It has been observed to like sweet food.

Shaymin is the [[signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Seed Flare}}.

===Forms===
[[File:Shaymin Sky Forme toxic petals.png|thumb|250px|Sky Forme Shaymin's petals after absorbing toxins]]
Shaymin has two forms it can change between: Land Forme and Sky Forme.

In Sky Forme, it has a slender appearance with canine-like and reindeer-like traits. The fur on its back becomes a mohawk, and it has a red flower petal on the left side of its neck, resembling a scarf or cape. It has flat, white ears resembling wings, a small tuft of fur on the front of its neck, and a stumpy tail.

The blooming of [[Gracidea|Gracidea flowers]] confers the power of flight upon Shaymin, transforming it into its Sky Forme. It reverts to Land Forme at night or if it is {{status|Freeze|frozen}}. Sky Forme Shaymin has a courageous, energetic, and playful personality. It spreads feelings of gratitude when it takes flight. Sky Forme Shaymin has a deeper voice than Land Forme.

==Game data==
===NPC appearances===
* {{g|Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky}}: A tribe of Shaymin have made their [[Shaymin Village|home]] at near the trail leading to the top of the nearby [[Sky Peak]] mountain. An accompanying Shaymin demonstrates its ability to instantly purify polluted environments, its use of the [[Gracidea]] to transform into its {{form|Shaymin|Sky Forme}}, and can be recruited into the player's party after clearing the dungeon for a second time.

===Form data===
Shaymin has two forms it can change between: Land Forme, introduced in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}, and Sky Forme, introduced in {{game|Platinum}}.

Normally, Shaymin is in its Land Forme, which is {{type|Grass}} and resembles a hedgehog. When exposed to a [[Gracidea]], Shaymin transforms into its Sky Forme, which is {{2t|Grass|Flying}}-type and white in color.

Sky Forme Shaymin will revert into and remain in its Land Forme at night or if it is {{status|frozen}}; Shaymin also changes back to Land Forme when deposited in the [[PC]] (prior to [[Generation VII]]), when withdrawn from the PC (Generation VII onward), when deposited in {{g|Bank}} (but not {{g|HOME}}), or when deposited in the [[Pokémon Day Care]] or [[Pokémon Nursery]]. If a frozen Shaymin in Sky Forme is holding a [[Lum Berry]] or an [[Aspear Berry]], it will eat the Berry after transforming back to Land Forme. In {{g|Legends: Arceus}}, Sky Forme Shaymin will also revert to Land Forme when exposed to a Gracidea again, and will not revert into its Land Forme at night unless it enters a {{pkmn|battle}} during the night. {{status|Frostbite}} will also cause it to revert to Land Forme. In {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}, Sky Forme Shaymin will not revert into its Land Forme at night until after a battle.

The two forms have different [[base stats]], {{Abilities}}, [[type]]s, [[move]]s they can learn, and [[cry|cries]].

In [[Generation IV]], Sky Forme Shaymin's cry cannot be played in the [[Pokédex]], due to it only registering the first form encountered. As wild or traded Shaymin will be in Land Forme and Pokémon aren't registered in link battles, it is impossible to register a Sky Forme Shaymin. The only cry used for Shaymin in {{g|Ranger: Guardian Signs}} is the one of its Land Forme.

[[File:Mallow Shaymin Sky Forme.png|thumb|250px|Sky Forme Shaymin in the anime]]
===Major appearances===
====[[Shaymin (M11)]]====
Shaymin debuted in ''[[M11|Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]'', where it was fleeing from {{mov|Giratina}}. It thought that Giratina wanted to eat it, but in reality, the Renegade Pokémon wanted to use Shaymin's {{m|Seed Flare}} to open a portal from the [[Reverse World]] to the [[Pokémon world|real world]]. It appeared in both of its Formes in the {{pkmn|movie}}. This Shaymin had the ability to {{pkmn2|Talking|talk}} via telepathy.

====[[Mallow's Shaymin]]====
In ''[[SM108|Memories in the Mist!]]'', a Shaymin encountered {{an|Mallow}} after being drawn to her strong feelings of gratitude towards [[Mallow's mother|her late mother]]. Mallow took care of it until ''[[SM146|Thank You, Alola! The Journey Continues!]]'', where Shaymin was exposed to some Gracideas, transforming into its Sky Forme, and then flew away. This Shaymin was unique in that, in its Sky Forme, its eyes resembled the eyes of Mallow's mother, instead of those of a regular Shaymin.

====Other====
Shaymin made its main series debut in ''[[DP168|Keeping In Top Forme!]]'', where [[Marley]] was protecting it from {{TRT}}. She, along with {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}}, then spent the majority of the episode trying to take Shaymin to a flower field so it could reunite with its friends.

===Minor appearances===
A Shaymin appeared in its Land Forme during the ending credits in ''[[PK24|Meloetta's Moonlight Serenade]]''.

Three Shaymin appeared in their Sky Formes in ''[[SM146|Thank You, Alola! The Journey Continues!]]'', where they greeted the Shaymin Mallow had been taking care of and accompanied it during its departure.

[[File:Shaymin 3DS trophy SSB4.png|thumb|150px|Shaymin trophy in Super Smash Bros. for 3DS]]
Shaymin also appears in both Formes as a single trophy in the 3DS version of the game.

====Trophy information====
'''NA''': ''When in its Land Forme, this Pokémon sports a fetching pink flower. In Sky Forme, it can take to the air with ease. This Legendary Pokémon is hard to find, but it can sense anyone with a grateful heart. This ability is where the name "Gratitude Pokémon" comes from.''

'''PAL''': ''No wonder this Mythical Pokémon is so hard to find! In its Land Forme, it looks just like a flowery patch of grass. Good luck spotting that in a field! Shaymin has two different forms, though, and in Sky Forme, it can fly. In both forms, Shaymin reacts to gratitude, hence its nickname: the Gratitude Pokémon.'

Shaymin appears as {{sbw|Spirits}} in its Land Forme and Sky Forme.

==Trivia==
* A Shaymin caught at the Flower Paradise in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}} will not be a [[fateful encounter]] Pokémon.
* Despite being a [[Mythical Pokémon]], ''[[Pokémon Diamond & Pokémon Pearl: Super Music Collection|Battle! (Wild Pokémon)]]'' plays while battling it in Pokémon Diamond, Pearl, {{v2|Platinum}}, {{pkmn|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl|Brilliant Diamond, and Shining Pearl}}.
* Shaymin Sky Forme is the only {{type|Flying}} Mythical Pokémon, excluding {{p|Arceus}} while holding a [[Sky Plate]].
* From [[Generation IV]] to {{gen|VI}}, it is impossible to use Shaymin's Sky Forme in the [[Battle Spot]] or in online competitions that allow Mythical Pokémon. This is because only Pokémon stored in the [[PC]] can be used and Shaymin would revert to Land Forme as soon as deposited. In [[Generation VII]], this was changed so that Sky Forme can be deposited into the PC and only revert to Land Forme when withdrawn.
* Due to a [[glitch]] in {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}}, it was possible to reach [[Flower Paradise]] and catch Shaymin without [[Oak's Letter]]. This was patched in version 1.1.2.
** This glitch is the only method of obtaining a shiny Shaymin without the event, as the Shaymin in [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus|Legends: Arceus]] is shiny-locked.
* Shaymin requires [[Pokémon Sword and Shield|Pokémon Sword or Shield]] save data to be caught in {{g|Legends: Arceus}}, despite not being available in either of the former.

===Origin===
Shaymin's Land Forme is based on a {{wp|hedgehog}}. However, its white body and the grass-like fur on its back make it somewhat resemble a {{wp|Chia Pet}} as well. It may also be inspired by flower meadows or flower gardens. Moreover, when Land Forme Shaymin blooms with flowers, as seen in the anime, Shaymin appears as a bouquet of flowers, which are commonly given as a sign of thankfulness, emphasizing Shaymin's role as the Gratitude Pokémon. The flower on its body resembles a [[Gracidea]] and could be based on a {{wp|hydrangea}}, particularly the {{wp|Hydrangea macrophylla|bigleaf hydrangea}}. It also shares, together with the leaves on its Sky Forme's neck, similarities with a {{wp|poinsettia}}, a popular Christmas flower.

Shaymin's Sky Forme has a few aspects, like antlers, that resemble {{wp|reindeer}} and the ability to fly could be based on {{wp|Santa Claus's reindeer}}, but its sprightly behavior, an affinity for flowers, and the ability to fly bring to mind {{wp|angel}}s and {{wp|fairy|fairies}}. This is furthered by its ability to learn {{Type|Fairy}} moves like {{m|Play Rough}} and {{m|Sweet Kiss}} and, via TM, {{m|Dazzling Gleam}}. Due to its healing abilities, it could also be based on a {{wp|guardian angel}}. Given the appearance of the flower around its neck resembling the knot of a {{wp|neckerchief}}, the resemblance to the green of its legs to boots or gloves, ability to fly, and more confident attitude seen in the anime, Sky Forme Shaymin may be inspired by superheroes, particularly those in the Japanese sentai genre.

Shaymin's ability to convert toxic gases into fresh air may be a reference to the {{wp|environmentalism|environmentalist}} practice of removing pollution from nature for a healthier ecosystem. It could also be a reference to plants filtering non-breathable {{wp|carbon dioxide}} from the atmosphere into breathable {{wp|oxygen}}, or {{wp|decomposer|decomposer organisms}} converting decaying or waste materials into nutrient-rich soil for future plant growth. Its ability to transform land into a flower field in combination with its Flying-type could also be a reference to {{wp|pollen}} and {{wp|spore}}s in the air or in the wind {{wp|seed dispersal#Wind|floating seeds}}.

====Name origin====
Shaymin is from 謝謝 ''xièxie'' (Chinese for ''thanks'').<ref>[https://lineblog.me/masudajunichi/archives/4073542.html Junichi Masuda's Official Blog on Line] (Japanese)</ref> It may also be derived from 蝟 ''harinezumi'' (hedgehog) and םשמי ''{{wp|Shamayim}}'' (Hebrew for ''heaven'') with the latter correlating directly with Shaymin's Sky Forme.

'''Shaymin''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''シェイミ''' ''Shaymin'') is a {{type|Grass}} [[Mythical Pokémon]] introduced in [[Generation IV]].

While it is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from another Pokémon, Shaymin has a [[#Form data|second form]] activated by using a [[Gracidea|Gracidea flower]] in the [[time|daytime]]. Its original form, '''Land Forme''', will then become the {{2t|Grass|Flying}}-type '''Sky Forme'''. Shaymin's Sky Forme will revert into and remain in its Land Forme during the night or when {{status|frozen}}. Other circumstances may also cause it to revert.

(Specifics may differ in past games. Refer to [[#Form data|Game data→Form data]] for these details.)

Shaymin was officially revealed in February 2008, when it was listed as a star of ''[[M11|Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]''. In early June of the same year, its Sky Forme was revealed.

==Biology==
[[File:Shaymin M11 flowers.png|thumb|left|250px|Land Forme Shaymin's extra petals]]
Shaymin is a small, white, {{wp|hedgehog}}-like {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. In Land Forme, it has green grass-like fur on its back and a pink flower with two leaves on each side of its head, which resembles the [[Gracidea]] flower. More flowers appear on its back whenever it feels comfortable, but when it senses danger, it rapidly hides them again. Its legs are short and its underside is plump. Shaymin is one of the [[List of Pokémon by height|shortest]] {{type|Grass}} Pokémon.

[[File:Shaymin Land Forme toxic petals.png|thumb|250px|Land Forme Shaymin's petals after absorbing toxins]]
Shaymin can instantly purify any polluted area of all impurities in the air and transform it into a lush field of flowers. It takes in the polluted air, purifies it inside its body, breaks it down into water and light, and releases the purified substance in a violent, explosive burst. Its power varies based on the type of pollution absorbed. Shaymin can also communicate with telepathy and sense the gratitude of others.

Each season, Shaymin gathers with others in a flower field somewhere and migrates from there. This behavior is called Flower Carrying, because a new field of flowers grow wherever it lands. Shaymin is also attracted to areas where there is a lot of gratitude. Land Forme Shaymin has a shy personality and is easily scared. If wet, it shakes itself dry. It also exhibits the behavior of scratching itself with its hind leg. Shaymin lives in fields of flowers. Since it camouflages by curling itself up, it can easily escape people's notice. It has been observed to like sweet food.

Shaymin is the [[signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Seed Flare}}.

===Forms===
[[File:Shaymin Sky Forme toxic petals.png|thumb|250px|Sky Forme Shaymin's petals after absorbing toxins]]
Shaymin has two forms it can change between: Land Forme and Sky Forme.

In Sky Forme, it has a slender appearance with canine-like and reindeer-like traits. The fur on its back becomes a mohawk, and it has a red flower petal on the left side of its neck, resembling a scarf or cape. It has flat, white ears resembling wings, a small tuft of fur on the front of its neck, and a stumpy tail.

The blooming of [[Gracidea|Gracidea flowers]] confers the power of flight upon Shaymin, transforming it into its Sky Forme. It reverts to Land Forme at night or if it is {{status|Freeze|frozen}}. Sky Forme Shaymin has a courageous, energetic, and playful personality. It spreads feelings of gratitude when it takes flight. Sky Forme Shaymin has a deeper voice than Land Forme.

===NPC appearances===
* {{g|Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky}}: A tribe of Shaymin have made their [[Shaymin Village|home]] at near the trail leading to the top of the nearby [[Sky Peak]] mountain. An accompanying Shaymin demonstrates its ability to instantly purify polluted environments, its use of the [[Gracidea]] to transform into its {{form|Shaymin|Sky Forme}}, and can be recruited into the player's party after clearing the dungeon for a second time.

===Form data===
Shaymin has two forms it can change between: Land Forme, introduced in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}, and Sky Forme, introduced in {{game|Platinum}}.

Normally, Shaymin is in its Land Forme, which is {{type|Grass}} and resembles a hedgehog. When exposed to a [[Gracidea]], Shaymin transforms into its Sky Forme, which is {{2t|Grass|Flying}}-type and white in color.

Sky Forme Shaymin will revert into and remain in its Land Forme at night or if it is {{status|frozen}}; Shaymin also changes back to Land Forme when deposited in the [[PC]] (prior to [[Generation VII]]), when withdrawn from the PC (Generation VII onward), when deposited in {{g|Bank}} (but not {{g|HOME}}), or when deposited in the [[Pokémon Day Care]] or [[Pokémon Nursery]]. If a frozen Shaymin in Sky Forme is holding a [[Lum Berry]] or an [[Aspear Berry]], it will eat the Berry after transforming back to Land Forme. In {{g|Legends: Arceus}}, Sky Forme Shaymin will also revert to Land Forme when exposed to a Gracidea again, and will not revert into its Land Forme at night unless it enters a {{pkmn|battle}} during the night. {{status|Frostbite}} will also cause it to revert to Land Forme. In {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}, Sky Forme Shaymin will not revert into its Land Forme at night until after a battle.

The two forms have different [[base stats]], {{Abilities}}, [[type]]s, [[move]]s they can learn, and [[cry|cries]].

In [[Generation IV]], Sky Forme Shaymin's cry cannot be played in the [[Pokédex]], due to it only registering the first form encountered. As wild or traded Shaymin will be in Land Forme and Pokémon aren't registered in link battles, it is impossible to register a Sky Forme Shaymin. The only cry used for Shaymin in {{g|Ranger: Guardian Signs}} is the one of its Land Forme.

[[File:Mallow Shaymin Sky Forme.png|thumb|250px|Sky Forme Shaymin in the anime]]
===Major appearances===
====[[Shaymin (M11)]]====
Shaymin debuted in ''[[M11|Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]'', where it was fleeing from {{mov|Giratina}}. It thought that Giratina wanted to eat it, but in reality, the Renegade Pokémon wanted to use Shaymin's {{m|Seed Flare}} to open a portal from the [[Reverse World]] to the [[Pokémon world|real world]]. It appeared in both of its Formes in the {{pkmn|movie}}. This Shaymin had the ability to {{pkmn2|Talking|talk}} via telepathy.

====[[Mallow's Shaymin]]====
In ''[[SM108|Memories in the Mist!]]'', a Shaymin encountered {{an|Mallow}} after being drawn to her strong feelings of gratitude towards [[Mallow's mother|her late mother]]. Mallow took care of it until ''[[SM146|Thank You, Alola! The Journey Continues!]]'', where Shaymin was exposed to some Gracideas, transforming into its Sky Forme, and then flew away. This Shaymin was unique in that, in its Sky Forme, its eyes resembled the eyes of Mallow's mother, instead of those of a regular Shaymin.

====Other====
Shaymin made its main series debut in ''[[DP168|Keeping In Top Forme!]]'', where [[Marley]] was protecting it from {{TRT}}. She, along with {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}}, then spent the majority of the episode trying to take Shaymin to a flower field so it could reunite with its friends.

===Minor appearances===
A Shaymin appeared in its Land Forme during the ending credits in ''[[PK24|Meloetta's Moonlight Serenade]]''.

Three Shaymin appeared in their Sky Formes in ''[[SM146|Thank You, Alola! The Journey Continues!]]'', where they greeted the Shaymin Mallow had been taking care of and accompanied it during its departure.

[[File:Shaymin 3DS trophy SSB4.png|thumb|150px|Shaymin trophy in Super Smash Bros. for 3DS]]
Shaymin also appears in both Formes as a single trophy in the 3DS version of the game.

====Trophy information====
'''NA''': ''When in its Land Forme, this Pokémon sports a fetching pink flower. In Sky Forme, it can take to the air with ease. This Legendary Pokémon is hard to find, but it can sense anyone with a grateful heart. This ability is where the name "Gratitude Pokémon" comes from.''

'''PAL''': ''No wonder this Mythical Pokémon is so hard to find! In its Land Forme, it looks just like a flowery patch of grass. Good luck spotting that in a field! Shaymin has two different forms, though, and in Sky Forme, it can fly. In both forms, Shaymin reacts to gratitude, hence its nickname: the Gratitude Pokémon.'

===[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]===
Shaymin appears as {{sbw|Spirits}} in its Land Forme and Sky Forme.

==Trivia==
* A Shaymin caught at the Flower Paradise in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}} will not be a [[fateful encounter]] Pokémon.
* Despite being a [[Mythical Pokémon]], ''[[Pokémon Diamond & Pokémon Pearl: Super Music Collection|Battle! (Wild Pokémon)]]'' plays while battling it in Pokémon Diamond, Pearl, {{v2|Platinum}}, {{pkmn|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl|Brilliant Diamond, and Shining Pearl}}.
* Shaymin Sky Forme is the only {{type|Flying}} Mythical Pokémon, excluding {{p|Arceus}} while holding a [[Sky Plate]].
* From [[Generation IV]] to {{gen|VI}}, it is impossible to use Shaymin's Sky Forme in the [[Battle Spot]] or in online competitions that allow Mythical Pokémon. This is because only Pokémon stored in the [[PC]] can be used and Shaymin would revert to Land Forme as soon as deposited. In [[Generation VII]], this was changed so that Sky Forme can be deposited into the PC and only revert to Land Forme when withdrawn.
* Due to a [[glitch]] in {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}}, it was possible to reach [[Flower Paradise]] and catch Shaymin without [[Oak's Letter]]. This was patched in version 1.1.2.
** This glitch is the only method of obtaining a shiny Shaymin without the event, as the Shaymin in [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus|Legends: Arceus]] is shiny-locked.
* Shaymin requires [[Pokémon Sword and Shield|Pokémon Sword or Shield]] save data to be caught in {{g|Legends: Arceus}}, despite not being available in either of the former.

===Origin===
Shaymin's Land Forme is based on a {{wp|hedgehog}}. However, its white body and the grass-like fur on its back make it somewhat resemble a {{wp|Chia Pet}} as well. It may also be inspired by flower meadows or flower gardens. Moreover, when Land Forme Shaymin blooms with flowers, as seen in the anime, Shaymin appears as a bouquet of flowers, which are commonly given as a sign of thankfulness, emphasizing Shaymin's role as the Gratitude Pokémon. The flower on its body resembles a [[Gracidea]] and could be based on a {{wp|hydrangea}}, particularly the {{wp|Hydrangea macrophylla|bigleaf hydrangea}}. It also shares, together with the leaves on its Sky Forme's neck, similarities with a {{wp|poinsettia}}, a popular Christmas flower.

Shaymin's Sky Forme has a few aspects, like antlers, that resemble {{wp|reindeer}} and the ability to fly could be based on {{wp|Santa Claus's reindeer}}, but its sprightly behavior, an affinity for flowers, and the ability to fly bring to mind {{wp|angel}}s and {{wp|fairy|fairies}}. This is furthered by its ability to learn {{Type|Fairy}} moves like {{m|Play Rough}} and {{m|Sweet Kiss}} and, via TM, {{m|Dazzling Gleam}}. Due to its healing abilities, it could also be based on a {{wp|guardian angel}}. Given the appearance of the flower around its neck resembling the knot of a {{wp|neckerchief}}, the resemblance to the green of its legs to boots or gloves, ability to fly, and more confident attitude seen in the anime, Sky Forme Shaymin may be inspired by superheroes, particularly those in the Japanese sentai genre.

Shaymin's ability to convert toxic gases into fresh air may be a reference to the {{wp|environmentalism|environmentalist}} practice of removing pollution from nature for a healthier ecosystem. It could also be a reference to plants filtering non-breathable {{wp|carbon dioxide}} from the atmosphere into breathable {{wp|oxygen}}, or {{wp|decomposer|decomposer organisms}} converting decaying or waste materials into nutrient-rich soil for future plant growth. Its ability to transform land into a flower field in combination with its Flying-type could also be a reference to {{wp|pollen}} and {{wp|spore}}s in the air or in the wind {{wp|seed dispersal#Wind|floating seeds}}.

====Name origin====
Shaymin is from 謝謝 ''xièxie'' (Chinese for ''thanks'').<ref>[https://lineblog.me/masudajunichi/archives/4073542.html Junichi Masuda's Official Blog on Line] (Japanese)</ref> It may also be derived from 蝟 ''harinezumi'' (hedgehog) and םשמי ''{{wp|Shamayim}}'' (Hebrew for ''heaven'') with the latter correlating directly with Shaymin's Sky Forme.

==Blurb==

There's a PokéRinger competition today in the windy town of Squallville, and James—in disguise—is using Jessie's Yanmega for a practice match. PokéRinger is a sport where two flying Pokémon compete to grab a ring and place it on a pole; after our heroes ask James about it, Ash decides to enter the competition. Of course, James and Yanmega will be there, hoping to achieve an honest victory. And Rhonda the reporter is covering the event with her Sinnoh Now news team, too!

The competition begins with Ash and Staravia facing a Trainer named Taylor and his Skarmory. The two Pokémon battle over the ring before Staravia takes advantage of a sudden wind gust to hit Skarmory with Aerial Ace and win the match. Ash is pleased, then shocked once he hears the match-up for the next round: Paul will battle a four-time PokéRinger champion! Paul ignores Ash and sends out his Honchkrow to battle the defending champion's Dragonite.

Paul is able to read the wind, so as the two Pokémon battle furiously over the ring, he tells Honchkrow to ride the current. Honchkrow gets behind Dragonite and, thanks to its Super Luck Ability, knocks Dragonite out in one blow. Next up are James and Yanmega, facing a boy and his Skiploom. The two stare each other down, studying the wind for the right moment to act. Alas, James can't actually read the wind at all, and Skiploom wins while Yanmega struggles in the breeze!

The competition continues until it's down to Ash vs. Paul in the final round. Ash's Staravia gets to the ring first but Paul's Honchkrow is a tough foe, and the battle goes back and forth until Honchkrow finally knocks Staravia to the ground. As Honchkrow dives in for the knockout blow, Staravia takes to the air and evolves into Staraptor. Still, Staraptor's new Close Combat move can't stop Honchkrow from getting ahead of it. Yet at the last second, Staravia uses its wing to knock the ring onto the pole, making Ash the winner. Paul still ignores Ash but Ash has bigger things to think about... like his upcoming Snowpoint Gym battle!

==Plot==
{{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} spot the town of [[Squallville]]. A strong gust of wind hits the group, causing {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}} to fly out of {{an|Dawn}}'s hands. She quickly catches her [[Pokémon]]. They notice a {{TP|Jessie|Yanmega}} and a {{p|Wingull}} racing for a ring in the sky, which Ash and {{an|Brock}} are immediately excited to recognize as [[PokéRinger]].

Ash races to the arena to get a closer look at the competition while Brock fills Dawn in about the PokéRinger competition. Yanmega gets the ring first, dodges the Wingull, and places it on the goal, winning the match. Yanmega's {{pkmn|Trainer}} is actually [[James]] as he snubs his practice partner before walking away. Ash and his friends meet up with James, which spooks him at first. [[Jessie]] and {{MTR}} watch from a distance as James maintains his disguise and tells them about the upcoming PokéRinger competition. Dawn wants to participate, but has forgotten that none of her Pokémon, including Piplup and his evolutionary line, can fly. Ash decides to sign up with {{p|Staravia}}.

Fireworks start as the competition prepares to get underway, and Dawn notices the crowd size. Brock points out that the winner is made an {{wp|Honorary citizenship|honorary citizen}} of the town while Ash mentions the second prize of a large amount of [[Pokémon food]]. Jessie is doubtful about lending Yanmega to James, but he is confident in participating. {{si|Rhonda}} of ''[[Sinnoh Now]]'' covers the event with her crew as {{si|Jack}}'s boom hits her as usual. She mentions that the battles are single-elimination.

The first match starts with Ash against {{OBP|Taylor|DP118}}. Dawn and Brock watch from the stands as the ring balloon is deployed, as well as Ash and Taylor's balloons to the set elevation. The round starts as Ash sends out Staravia while Taylor summons {{p|Skarmory}}. Both race to the ring as Staravia gets it first, racing to the goal. Skarmory uses {{m|Swift}}, which hits and causes Staravia to drop the ring. Skarmory steals it and goes for the goal as Staravia tries to catch up. Skarmory turns around and executes a {{m|Fury Attack}}. Staravia dodges continually, eventually causing Skarmory to drop the ring, allowing Staravia to steal it and bolt. Skarmory gets ahead and uses {{m|Sand-Attack}} to blind Staravia before launching {{m|Air Cutter}}. Staravia is unable to dodge, but a wind gust pushes it out of the way. Staravia recovers as another Air Cutter heads towards it. Staravia gets closer before using {{m|Aerial Ace}} to dodge and race to the goal, planting the ring and giving Ash his first win. Ash congratulates his Pokémon.

The second match reveals the four-time defending champion [[Provo]]. His opponent surprises everyone as [[Paul]]'s name is announced, getting Ash's attention as he encounters Paul. Paul brushes him off and gets into his balloon as Ash vows to beat him in the competition. Dawn and Brock know that Paul is merely using the competition for {{pkmn|training}} as Dawn realizes that Paul will use {{TP|Paul|Honchkrow}}. The round starts as Paul deploys Honchkrow while Provo calls on {{p|Dragonite}}. Honchkrow goes first as Dragonite fires {{m|Dragon Pulse}}. Honchkrow dodges and gets the ring as Dragonite turns and uses {{m|Fire Punch}}, but misses. Dragonite hits with {{m|Dragon Rush}}, causing Honchkrow to drop the ring into free fall. Both race for the ring, with Honchkrow getting it first and racing to the goal. Dragonite attempts another Dragon Rush as a gust of wind kicks up. Paul has Honchkrow ride the wind and land a {{m|Sky Attack}}, which [[fainting|knocks Dragonite out]] in one [[critical hit]] thanks to Honchkrow's {{a|Super Luck}} [[Ability]]. Paul wins the round with only one attack, which makes Ash slightly uneasy.

[[Steveland]]'s {{p|Skiploom}} fights against James and Yanmega. The round starts, but neither makes a move at first, waiting for the wind to kick in. James predicts a wind from above, but it instead comes from below and confuses Yanmega. Skiploom rides it and grabs the ring, heading for the goal. James then predicts an upward current and tries to have Yanmega ride the wind, but his bad judgment takes its toll as a downward current makes Yanmega plummet towards the ground. This helps Skiploom easily win the match for Steveland. James then tells Steveland that the Sinnoh winds are hard to predict and will learn from his mistakes. The competition jumps ahead as the final match comes down to Ash and Paul. Ash looks forward to battle while Paul is silent.

The final round of the PokéRinger competition starts with Ash summoning Staravia and Paul choosing Honchkrow. Staravia gets the ring first and Honchkrow uses Sky Attack while Staravia counters with {{m|Brave Bird}}. The attacks create a huge explosion, but Staravia takes damage and goes into a free fall, Honchkrow emerging relatively unharmed and rushing with a {{m|Night Slash}}. Ash has Staravia dodge with a {{m|Quick Attack}} before heading towards the goal. Honchkrow fires a {{m|Dark Pulse}}, hitting and Staravia briefly loses the ring, quickly grabbing it and bolting to the goal. A strong gust of wind halts Staravia as Honchkrow rides the wind, powering up Aerial Ace. The attack misses as Staravia tries to overcome the repulsion, but to no avail. Honchkrow continues to put pressure with Aerial Ace, eventually striking Staravia and knocking the ring out of Staravia's beak. Honchkrow takes possession of the ring. Both bird Pokémon exchange glares before racing towards the goal. Staravia goes in to use Aerial Ace, but Honchkrow moves aside, with the attack passing harmlessly. Ash quickly has Staravia come down with a Quick Attack, stealing the ring right out from Honchkrow's beak. While Staravia races towards the goal, Paul orders Honchkrow to strike with Sky Attack, hitting Staravia. As he attempts a follow-up Night Slash, Ash has Staravia retaliate with Quick Attack. However, Honchkrow anticipates this, dodging the attack and landing its Night Slash, sending Staravia to the ground, with the ring still in its beak. Dawn comments on how Paul predicted the Quick Attack and that Staravia may not be able to match Honchkrow.

Ash tries to encourage Staravia to get up, but Paul snubs him before ordering a finishing Sky Attack. Staravia seems immobile as Honchkrow bears down, but Ash's encouragement gets it back into the air. Staravia spreads its wings before it begins to glow a brilliant white, signalling the start of the [[Evolution]] process. Its wings and tail feathers grow as the white energy fades to reveal {{AP|Staraptor}} ready to fight. Ash checks his [[Pokédex]] as Staraptor growls at Honchkrow. Not backing down, Paul has Honchkrow use Night Slash, both of the Pokémon's wings glowing. Staraptor easily dodges the attacks, but Honchkrow eventually lands a hit and Staraptor loses the ring. Both go after it, repelling each other before Honchkrow stalls Staraptor with a Night Slash. Staraptor quickly races towards Honchkrow, gets parallel to the {{pkmn|category|Big Boss Pokémon}}, and proceeds to attack with a barrage of close-range strikes. Dawn recognizes the new [[move]] as {{m|Close Combat}} before Staraptor pushes Honchkrow back with a wing strike. Brock comments on how the Fighting-type move is especially effective against a {{t|Dark}} [[type]] like Honchkrow. Excited, Ash has Staraptor go for the ring. Staraptor grabs it and races for the goal. Honchkrow tries to hit with Night Slash, but Staraptor dodges, gets behind and attempts Brave Bird. Honchkrow turns around and hits with Sky Attack, with the two moves creating a powerful explosion and sending the ring away. Both Trainers order their Pokémon after it. Honchkrow gets farther ahead and is almost to the ring, but Ash shouts to Staraptor to get that ring. Staraptor races forward and unexpectedly swats the ring with his wing before Honchkrow can close its beak, sending the ring onto the goal. Ash and Staraptor win the PokéRinger giving Ash his first overall win against Paul.

Back on the ground, Paul scolds Honchkrow, telling it they lost due to its slow reactions before recalling it and then after a quick glance at Ash, leaves. Afterward, Ash poses for a picture with Pikachu and Staraptor as he gets a plaque and the prize of Pokémon food. Since there's so much food Ash decides it should be eaten right away and Dawn sends {{cat|Dawn's Pokémon|her Pokémon}} out to feast. However {{TP|Dawn|Mamoswine}} quickly devours it all, leaving Dawn's other Pokémon angry.

At sunset, as Paul leaves the area, Ash catches up with him and gloats that the {{p|Starly}} [[DP003|he thought was worthless]] evolved into Staravia and is now a powerful {{p|Staraptor}}. Paul can only respond that he considers it to have taken far too long before walking away. Dawn is upset at this response, but Brock tells her it's just Paul's way. Dawn then tells Ash she knows he'll do great at the [[Snowpoint Gym]] and Ash is more certain than ever he'll win now he has Staraptor on his team. And so, the episode ends with both Ash and Staraptor looking forward to the challenges ahead.

==Trivia==
* An instrumental version of [[Advance Adventure]] is used as background music.
* This episode is similar to ''[[AG080|That's Just Swellow!]]'' in multiple ways:
** Both take place ten episodes after one of {{Ash}}'s Gym battles.
*** The Gym Leaders Ash battled, [[Norman]] and [[Byron]], were both voiced by [[Dan Green]] in the English dub.
** Ash enters the regional [[PokéRinger]] competition with his {{type|Flying}} Pokémon, while [[James]] enters with one of [[Jessie]]'s {{t|Bug}} types.
** Both episodes involve an overconfident former champion who gets knocked out in the first round.
** Ash's Pokémon evolves and helps him win the contest.
** Ash's Pokémon hits the hoop over the goal section by hitting it with its wings in the final.
** Even the background music used near when it hits the ring with its wing is used in both episodes.
** Ash obtains honorary citizenship from both competitions.
* In contrast to ''That's Just Swellow!'', James participates in disguise in this episode.
* [[Professor Oak's Big Pokémon Examination]]: {{p|Abra}}.
* {{TRT}} doesn't recite their {{motto}} or blast off in this episode.

===Errors===
* {{AP|Staraptor}}'s white plumage on his breast disappears in one scene.
* {{an|Brock}} says that Staraptor's {{m|Close Combat}} is super-effective against {{t|Dark}} types such as [[Paul's Honchkrow]]. However, Honchkrow's {{type|Flying}} cancels out the weakness, making it take neutral damage from {{type|Fighting}} moves.
* After Staraptor learns {{m|Close Combat}} and Ash tells it to get the ring while pointing at it, he has six fingers on his right hand.

Talk:Rescue team camp

2024-08-11T06:53:00Z

CuteShaymin: /* Necessity of each Friend Area/camp having its own page? */ new section

Should we create a template for friend areas? [[User:Ht14|ht14]] 01:53, 12 July 2008 (UTC)

-Not sure. I think we should focus on writing articles for each friend area first. --[[User:Cadellin|Cadellin]] 10:08, 12 July 2008 (UTC)

== Pictures of friend areas ==
Unfortunately my source of friend area backgrounds is incomplete (It's at Spriter's Resource). so far i have noticed that there are not pics of Volcanic Cave, Waterfall lake and both Aged Chambers (Unowns' friend areas). Does anyone have pictures for these?

== Missing ones ==
There's no article for the Blue Sky Meadow Friend Area. Can anyone write one? [[User:Mateussf|Mateussf]] 18:34, 9 November 2008 (UTC)

I think Blue Sky Meadow is Sky Blue Plains, because I've never heard of a Friend Area called Blue Sky Meadow. [[User:Functioning Blaziken|Functioning Blaziken]] ([[User talk:Functioning Blaziken|talk]]) 15:22, 16 June 2013 (UTC)

== Proper or not? ==

Is Friend Area a proper noun or not? [[User:Chocolate|Chocolate]] ([[User talk:Chocolate|Chat with Me]]) 16:54, 18 January 2009 (UTC)

== Grouping ==

Are the groupings on the page or on the navigation template correct? --[[User:Abcboy|Abcboy]] ([[User talk:Abcboy|talk]]) 18:11, 10 November 2012 (UTC)

==List?==
I think the list of Friend Areas could include more information, such as how to obtain them and whatnot. I made somewhat of a {{tt|proposed table|which is somewhat of a feat considering I thought I completely sucked at coding of any kind}} [[User:Slimey01/Friend Area table|here]] and I was hoping to get some feedback/constructive criticism/what have you. I personally think it's pretty good, but I don't know if I'm missing something that should be added, so if anyone could look it over I'd appreciate it. [[User:Slimey01|'''slimey''']][[User talk:Slimey01|'''01''']] 22:34, 15 October 2014 (UTC)
:Looks good. Shrink the images a bit. For the coding, use the {{template|MSP}} template instead of MS so you don't have to put the (Pokémon) afterwards and the {{template|Fa}} template on the Friend Area names. You also don't need to put each sprite on its own line. [[User:Glik|glik]][[User talk:Glik|glak]] 23:00, 15 October 2014 (UTC)
::Thanks. Does it look better now? And I didn't know where to put the Japanese name, so at the moment I just stuck it underneath the English. I don't know if that works or if it should be its own column or what. [[User:Slimey01|'''slimey''']][[User talk:Slimey01|'''01''']] 23:43, 15 October 2014 (UTC)

== Images ==

Some of the images here have transparent spaces. Does anyone know why?[[User:Jdrawer|Jdrawer]] ([[User talk:Jdrawer|talk]]) 23:39, 26 July 2015 (UTC)

== Necessity of each Friend Area/camp having its own page? ==

Wouldn't it be possible to merge them all into one big list page? [[User:CuteShaymin|CuteShaymin]] ([[User talk:CuteShaymin|talk]]) 06:53, 11 August 2024 (UTC)

'''The Case of the K-9 Caper!''' (Japanese: '''けいさつけんガーディ''' ''Police Dog {{tt|Gardie|Growlithe}}'') is the 54th episode of the [[Pokémon anime]]. It first aired in Japan on July 16, 1998, and in the United States on April 10, 1999.

{{spoilers}}

==Blurb==

Ash enrolls Pikachu in a training school for police Growlithe. But the course is tougher than he imagined, for himself and for Pikachu. Ash wants Pikachu to be as tough as Kanto's finest, but Pikachu is Pika-pooped. At that moment, Team Rocket floods the schoolground with helium gas, and everyone's voices become squeaky. Jessie and James use a special voice-changing megaphone to sound like Officer Jenny, and command the Growlithe to follow them. They almost get away with it, too, but the Growlithe remember their special bond with the real Officer Jenny, who raised them and trained them. The Growlithe chase off Team Rocket, and Ash realizes that Pikachu doesn't need to be a police Pokémon—it's fine just the way it is.

==Plot==
{{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} are traveling through the forest heading to [[Cinnabar Island]] when they hear [[Officer Jenny]]'s voice calling after a {{tc|Burglar}}. They see a man with a sack over his shoulder and a gun in hand. Ash orders {{AP|Pikachu}} to attack, but he refuses after seeing the gun in the man's hand. Once again, the trio hears Officer Jenny's voice, this time ordering a {{TP|Officer Jenny|Growlithe}} to attack the Burglar. It knocks him down and sends the gun flying from his grasp, giving Pikachu the opportunity to shock the Burglar with {{m|Thunder Shock}}. However, the Growlithe then turn on Ash and his friends, encircling them as Officer Jenny and two other policemen rush to the Burglar's side. Confronting the trio, Officer Jenny reveals that the Burglar was in fact a police officer helping to train the canine police unit. Realizing their mistake, Officer Jenny calls off the Growlithe squad and order them to line up. They sit proudly in rows, and greet the group with a friendly bark at Jenny's command.

Meanwhile, {{TRT}} is watching from a nearby tree, commenting that the boss would love it if they captured police trained Pokémon, and [[James]] announces he has come up with the perfect plan to steal the Growlithe.

Later that evening, Ash and his friends have a meal at the training facility. Reflecting on the bravery of the Growlithe, Ash expresses interest in training Pikachu alongside them in order to improve his battling abilities. Officer Jenny agrees to let Pikachu participate in the training class they will be running tomorrow. During this conversation, {{TP|Misty|Togepi}} wanders off after a piece of food that rolled to the edge of the tabletop. Seeing it about to fall, Pikachu rushes to save it, but instead, he becomes overbalanced and falls to the ground.

Ash and his friends' sleep is cut short by Officer Jenny's sudden whistle as she wakes Ash up for their training. Realizing it was still early in the morning, Ash goes back to sleep, but Officer Jenny blows her whistle again, this time waking up {{an|Misty}} and Togepi as well. Later that morning, the training begins with an obstacle course that, as Ash is surprised to learn, is to be completed by both the Trainer and their Pokémon. He confidently leads the initial run, though his confidence dissipates when he sees the first obstacle, a wire net under which the runners must crawl. Jenny and her Growlithe make quick work of it, though despite his small size, Pikachu's tail gets caught in the wire and shocks Ash as he attempts to use his electricity to free himself. Next is a high wall, which Officer Jenny and Growlithe scale easily, though Ash fails to get over and falls backwards on top of Pikachu, resulting in another shock for Ash. After the test, {{an|Brock}} questions the wisdom of the training program, believing that Pikachu is already very powerful. When Ash asks if Pikachu wants to be as tough as Growlithe, he bows his head, exhausted from their training. This discussion is interrupted as a van painted to resemble a Growlithe breaks through the wall of the compound.

Team Rocket emerges from the van and says their {{motto}}. The van is quickly surrounded by Growlithe as Team Rocket reveals their plan to use the Growlithe to commit crimes. The trio then dons gas masks and begins to spray gas from a bottle marked with a picture of {{p|Gloom}}, causing the Growlithe's sense of smell to be disabled. Selecting a second canister, this time marked with {{p|Psyduck}}, they once again spray the gas around the compound. Everyone who inhales the gas finds that their voice has become high and squeaky. As Officer Jenny tries to order the Growlithe to arrest Team Rocket, she finds that they no longer recognize her voice in its altered state and will not respond.

Quickly changing costumes, Team Rocket put on police uniforms and use megaphone voice changers to impersonate Officer Jenny's voice. The Growlithe, unable to smell, immediately trust Team Rocket and follow their orders to arrest Officer Jenny, tying her up with rope. The trio then begins ordering the Growlithe into the van, as Ash and his friends attempt to stop them. Jessie, still using Officer Jenny's voice, orders the Growlithe to surround Ash and his friends. Their attempts to fight back are foiled by the fact that they left their {{i|Poké Ball}}s back in their room. However, Pikachu scares the Growlithe back with an Electric attack.

Jessie quickly changes her costume to resemble Ash, switches her megaphone to mimic Ash's voice, and orders Pikachu into the van with the Growlithe. Pikachu's ears prick up at the sound of Ash's voice, but after a moment of confusion, he stands by Ash's side because of their strong bond. Realizing that they cannot capture Pikachu using fake voices, Team Rocket, using Officer Jenny's voice once more, orders the Growlithe to attack. However, Pikachu leaps into the air and uses Thunder Shock several times to defeat the Growlithe, though the effort leaves him dizzy and unable to defeat the remaining Growlithe.

Suddenly, {{an|Jigglypuff}} enters and abruptly leaves after singing a few notes, insufficient to put anyone to sleep. During this distraction, Officer Jenny frees herself from the ropes and attempts to regain control of the Growlithe. Jessie orders them to attack Officer Jenny, and a Growlithe bites her hand, but then, it remembers Officer Jenny and the memories it had with her. Finally recognizing the deception, the Growlithe turn on Team Rocket, who desperately begin changing their voices. However, they only get each other's voices and {{MTR}}'s. Meowth, seeing that their plan was foiled, drives the van out of the yard, with Jessie and James following behind.

As they say farewell to Officer Jenny, Ash realizes that Pikachu doesn't have to train with the Growlithe to be the perfect Pokémon. Brock uses Team Rocket's abandoned megaphone to impersonate Officer Jenny's voice and compliment himself, though this only embarrasses Ash and Misty and amuses Jenny herself. As they leave, Brock, feeling Team Rocket's megaphone is useless, abandons it, only for Jigglypuff to find it.

==Trivia==
* It is implied in this episode that Pokémon cannot recognize the face of their Trainer. However, this notion has never been brought up again.
* The {{p|Gloom}} smoke used by {{TRT}} may be a reference to the potion they stole in ''[[EP026|Pokémon Scent-sation!]]''.
* [[Pokémon Ondo]] replaced [[Fantasy in My Pocket]] as the [[List of Japanese ending themes|Japanese ending theme]].
* This is one of the few episodes where [[Rachael Lillis]] had to provide {{AP|Pikachu}}'s voice.
* Although it was never aired in syndicated form on {{wp|Cartoon Network}} in 2003, it finally made its debut on September 14, 2007 at 6:30 AM EDT.
* {{Ash}} had six {{i|Poké Ball}}s on his bed, even though he doesn't use {{AP|Pikachu}}'s.
** Additionally, he only had five Pokémon in his party at the time: Pikachu, {{AP|Pidgeotto}}, {{AP|Bulbasaur}}, {{AP|Charizard}}, and {{AP|Squirtle}}.
* This episode is preceded by different episodes between the original Japanese version and dubbed versions. The episode is preceded by ''[[EP053|The Purr-fect Hero]]'' in the original Japanese version and by ''[[EP051|Bulbasaur's Mysterious Garden]]'' in the dub.
* This was the last episode to air before [[M01]] debuted in Japanese theaters. However, it chronologically takes place much later because the airing of the {{pkmn|anime}} was delayed due to the [[EP038|Porygon incident]].
* Oddly, though [[EP035|another episode]] was banned in the United States, allegedly for scenes containing [[Weaponry in the Pokémon world|firearms]], the opening scene in this episode shows a {{tc|burglar}} with a pistol. In this case, however, it was never pointed at another person or fired and was implied to be a fake, considering the situation (the "burglar" was acting in a training exercise for the Growlithe).
* Team Rocket does not blast off in this episode.
* When {{MTR}}'s voice is high-pitched, he said "I sound like one of the Chipmunks!", a reference to {{wp|Alvin and the Chipmunks}}.
* The picture of a {{p|Psyduck}} on Team Rocket's second gas canister is a reference to Psyduck's high-pitched Japanese voice.
* On Hungama TV/Disney XD in {{pmin|India}}, this episode, along with [[EP055|the]] [[EP056|next]] [[EP057|three]], were aired only in Hindi, even on the Tamil and Telugu language feeds. Hence, Tamil and Telugu [[dub]]s for these episodes do not exist.

===Errors===
[[File:EP054 error.png|thumb|200px|Officer Jenny's miscolored shirt]]
* When Ash is seen in the bed, he has his gloves on. However, when he falls out of the bed, his gloves are gone.
* When Team Rocket sprays the Gloom gas, it's an orange color like the pollen of Gloom, but in the scene in which Ash, Misty, and Brock are coughing from the smell, it's purple colored like the Psyduck gas instead.
* When Team Rocket takes off their gasmasks, their voice should change because, at that time, the Psyduck gas is still in effect, as everyone else still talks with a high-pitched voice. However, this is only true if the gas works the same way as helium.
* When [[Jessie]] changes into the Ash costume to try to trick Pikachu, she comes back and says "Pikachu" under Ash's voice, yet in the next scene, she turns the dial to Ash on her voice changer.
** In some dubs (including the {{pmin|the Netherlands|Dutch}} and {{pmin|Poland|Polish}} dubs), this is corrected.
* When [[Officer Jenny]] is glad that the {{p|Growlithe}} remember her, her shirt is miscolored.

===Dub edits===
* [[Kanto Pokérap]]: Day 4
* In the dub, Brock explicitly refuses for Ash to take the training session, while in the Japanese version he was more neutral to the whole thing.

== Is Trace copying Hadron Engine a bug? ==

We can't rule out the possibility it's not an intentional functionality, but a bug. [[User:CuteShaymin|CuteShaymin]] ([[User talk:CuteShaymin|talk]]) 22:35, 8 August 2024 (UTC)
:There's really no indication that this would be a bug or oversight. [[User:Landfish7|'''Land''']][[User talk:Landfish7|'''fish7''']] 23:02, 8 August 2024 (UTC)
::You have to admit it's weird Protosynthesis and Quark Drive aren't copied by Trace, yet Hadron Engine and Orichalcum Pulse are, when they're basically the same thing. I think that's evidence it might be a bug. [[User:CuteShaymin|CuteShaymin]] ([[User talk:CuteShaymin|talk]]) 23:26, 8 August 2024 (UTC)
:::There's no proving it's NOT a bug without getting an answer from the game designers themselves, so I think we can go ahead and label it "possibly a bug" [[User:CuteShaymin|CuteShaymin]] ([[User talk:CuteShaymin|talk]]) 23:29, 8 August 2024 (UTC)

Partner Pokémon (Mystery Dungeon)

2024-08-08T21:19:19Z

CuteShaymin:

{{Split|multiple articles by game}}{{incomplete|article|Role in Story in games beyond Explorers}}
The '''partner Pokémon''' (Japanese: '''パートナーのポケモン''' or '''パートナーポケモン''' ''partner Pokémon'') or '''partner''' is a {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with a major role in the [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series]], serving as the [[hero Pokémon]]'s partner.

==Terminology==
===Partner Pokémon===
This is known as "'''partner Pokémon'''" in the manuals of [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team]]. For instance:

* ''"The Pokémon which becomes your '''partner Pokémon''' will be one of the following ten. No matter which one you choose, it will help you in your adventure!"''

===Partner===
This has been shortened to "'''partner'''" in the manuals of [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time, Darkness]], and [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky|Sky]]. For instance:

* ''"{{p|Meowth}} and {{p|Munchlax}} are only candidates for the '''partner'''. They are not available as candidates for the hero."''
* ''"If you or your '''partner''' are defeated in a dungeon, the exploration team will be sent back to the guild, or in some cases to the last save point."''

==In the games==
The partner Pokémon has a major role to play in every [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series|Mystery Dungeon]] game. It is a {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, chosen by the player after the [[hero Pokémon]] is determined, to accompany it in the adventure. The partner is chosen after the hero Pokémon is determined. The partner cannot be of the same {{OBP|Pokémon|species|species}} or [[type]] as the hero.

In the main storyline from the Rescue Team and Explorers titles, the partner is always following the hero, and the mission fails if the partner [[fainting|faints]] (with no means to revive it such as a [[Reviver Seed]]). The partner often has dialogue interacting with the hero during the storyline. In the post-game, the player is no longer required to play specifically as the hero, and can choose to play as any Pokémon in the team, including the partner.

===Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team and Rescue Team DX===
At the beginning of the game, the player is presented with a quiz that decides which Pokémon they will play as, and then the partner is chosen (see below). The player and partner are the only playable Pokémon until the first {{OBP|Job|Mystery Dungeon|mission}} is completed and a [[Friend Area]] (Camp in [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Rescue Team DX|Rescue Team DX]]) is purchased. After the player has completed the main story, what Pokémon may be used as the main character is now an option, and the partner is not required for subsequent missions. If the player or partner Pokémon was knocked out during missions prior to finishing the main storyline, it counts as a failure of the mission.

{{spoilers}}
Initially, the partner helps the player settle into a [[Team Base]]. Then, when their Rescue Team status is confirmed, the player and partner undertake a series of missions. During this time, they find out about [[Friend Area]]s/Camps from [[Wigglytuff (Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team)|Wigglytuff]], and also meet other rescue teams. After rescuing {{mdc|Shiftry|1}} at [[Mt. Thunder]], {{mdc|Alakazam|1}}, the leader of a famous rescue team who does not know how the player came to become a Pokémon, instructs the player and partner to see {{mdc|Xatu|1}} at the [[Hill of the Ancients]]. Xatu only knows of a link between the rise in the number of natural calamities in the world, and the player's transformation into a Pokémon. The player and partner see {{mdc|Whiscash|1}} the next day, and are told about the [[Ninetales legend]]. The day after, {{mdc|Gengar|1}} gathers the residents of the [[Pokémon Square]], claiming that the player is the cursed human from Ninetales' legend and is the cause of the calamities in the world, therefore should be eliminated. The player is attacked, but the partner brings the player to safety. It then berates the player for not denying that they are the human from the legend. The partner affirms that they will believe in the player no matter what. After being warned by Alakazam that rescue teams will be out in force to apprehend the player and its accomplices, the player and partner become fugitives. They defeat {{p|Moltres}} and {{p|Articuno}} in order to pass through [[Mt. Blaze]] and [[Frosty Forest]] respectively. The partner then hears about what {{mdc|Gardevoir|1}} told the player. They travel up [[Mt. Freeze]] but are caught by Alakazam's team. At that moment, Ninetales appears and stops them from fighting. Ninetales reveals that the player isn't the cursed human from its legend, and the cursed human isn't responsible for the natural calamities. The partner hears this revelation with relief, but is then curious to know why the player turned into a Pokémon if they aren't the human from the legend.

The player and partner are welcomed on their return to Pokémon Square, and the residents chase Gengar out after finding out that he lied to them. While Alakazam's team attempt to quell {{p|Groudon}}, the player's Team Base undergoes a renovation with the help of three {{p|Mankey}} that the player and partner defeated at [[Uproar Forest]]. After it becomes clear that Alakazam's team are struggling to quell Groudon, a makeshift rescue team is sent to [[Magma Cavern]] to rescue them, but they are defeated, leaving the player and partner with no choice but to defeat Groudon and rescue Alakazam's team. After that, Xatu tells the residents of Pokémon Square about the ultimate calamity: a meteor about to strike the planet. Xatu knows that only {{mdc|Rayquaza}}, who lives atop the [[Sky Tower]], will be able to avert the meteor strike. Xatu, Alakazam and another Pokémon create a Teleport Gem to allow the player and partner access to the Sky Tower. The player and partner defeat Rayquaza and convince it to launch a {{m|Hyper Beam}} at the meteor. The player and partner are caught up but are saved by Gengar and taken to the Hill of the Ancients. Just as the Pokémon that have gathered are about to celebrate, {{mdc|Gardevoir|1}} appears before the player. The player reveals that it must now return to its own world as a human being, and starts to disappear into a ball of light. The Pokémon, especially the partner, are left shocked and saddened by this. However, the player decides to return to the Pokémon world, reappearing in front of the partner and others at the Team Base.

In the post-game story, the player and partner discover that Snubbull underwent evolution, and became {{mdc|Granbull|1}}. When the player goes to see the Friend Areas after this, the partner proposes the idea of designating any one of their rescue team recruits as team leader. From then on, the partner is not required to be in the team for any missions, and they do not follow the player around in the square. Though they may still appear beside the player in certain cutscenes.

===Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness===
The game starts with a quiz to decide what Pokémon the player starts as, and then the player chooses a partner. The partner has to tag along and the player will automatically lose should the partner Pokémon be knocked out until the main story is completed. However, the player and partner will still walk around in [[Treasure Town]].

{{spoilers}}
In the storyline, the partner initially comes across as timid and lacking in confidence. It fails to join [[Wigglytuff's Guild]] by itself due to this, even though it thought that carrying a piece of personal treasure, which the partner calls the [[Relic Fragment]], would help. The partner goes to the beach to raise its spirits, then discovers the player on the beach. After helping the player up and finding out that it was a human, the partner is attacked and has its Relic Fragment stolen by a {{p|Zubat}} and {{p|Koffing}}, who flee into the [[Beach Cave]]. The player and partner corner the thieves and defeat them in battle to retrieve the Relic Fragment, after which the partner admits it couldn't have done without the player. The player agrees to form a team with the partner, and later they manage to gain access to Wigglytuff Guild. After convincing {{mdc|Chatot|2}} that they wish to join as apprentices, they meet Guildmaster {{mdc|Wigglytuff|2}} who signs them up. Chatot then shows them where they will sleep every night. The next day, they are woken up by fellow apprentice {{mdc|Loudred|2}}. Chatot then gives the player and partner their first assignment. After completing the assignment, the partner is shocked that only 10% of the monetary reward is given to the player's team.

The next day, Chatot tells fellow apprentice {{mdc|Bidoof|2}} to show the player and partner around [[Treasure Town]]. After the tour ends with the player buying some items at the [[Kecleon Shop]], a {{p|Marill}} and [[Azurill (Explorers of Time, Darkness, and Sky)|Azurill]] then go shopping at the same place. After giving back an Apple that Azurill dropped, the player starts to see a vision. The player and partner then see a {{mdc|Drowzee|2}} talk to the same Marill and Azurill, seemingly offering to help them look for their lost [[Exclusive item|Water Float]]. When Drowzee leaves, he accidentally nudges the player, causing it to start seeing another vision, of Drowzee threatening Azurill. The player tries to explain it to the partner, who thinks the player is just dreaming. But upon returning to the guild, the Outlaw Notice Board updates, with Drowzee added to the list of suspects. Knowing that Azurill might be in trouble, as the player foresaw, the player and partner go up to [[Mt. Bristle]] to defeat and arrest Drowzee. At night, the partner talks about the [[Time Gear]]s and how nobody would dare to steal one, although the next cutscene shows a Pokémon clearly doing so.

The next day, Chatot asks the player and partner to investigate a secret waterfall. Using the player's visions, they discover that Wigglytuff might have already visited this waterfall, and Wigglytuff confirms thus when the player and partner return. The following day, Chatot tells the guild that a Time Gear has been stolen. It then tells the player and partner about an upcoming expedition. Their participation in the expedition would depend on their performance in their next mission, which was to bring some Perfect Apples from [[Apple Woods]] for Wigglytuff. When they get there, they are ambushed by {{mdc|Team Skull}}'s Koffing and {{p|Skuntank}}. They steal the Perfect Apples, leaving the player and partner to report to the guild as having failed their mission, with punishment in the form of not having the day's dinner. The next morning, fellow guild apprentices {{mdc|Chimecho|2}}, Sunflora and Diglett show their kind gestures by giving the player and partner portions of the dinner that they set aside.

In the following days, the partner openly expresses its worries following the failed mission. However, Wigglytuff announces that everyone in the guild is taking part in the expedition, much to Chatot's shock. The player and partner are paired with Bidoof to get to where the guild would be setting up camp; with its newfound determination, the partner acts as a leader for the makeshift team. Using the player's visions, the partner inserts a stone that it found near the [[Foggy Forest]], into a Groudon statue in order to lift the fog and gain access to the [[Steam Cave]]. At the top, they battle Groudon, but it turns out to be an illusion created by {{p|Uxie}}, the guardian of [[Fogbound Lake]] and its Time Gear. The partner asks Uxie about whether it knows about the player's past as a human, and whether it may have caused the player's amnesia. Uxie replies that it can only erase memories of Fogbound Lake. Uxie also trusts the guild enough to allow them to keep their experiences of Fogbound Lake, but after the guild returns to base, the same thief from before, who knows nothing about the guild, arrives to defeat Uxie and steal the Time Gear.

The day after the player and partner return to base, they encounter a self-proclaimed legendary explorer named {{mdc|Dusknoir|2}}. After Team Skull tries to ambush the player and partner once again by luring them to the [[Amp Plains]], Dusknoir arrives to drive them away. The next day, after Dusknoir recognizes the player's visions as the Dimensional Scream, the guild receives an alert about the Time Gear from Fogbound Lake having been stolen, as well as the identity of the thief, now known to be {{mdc|Grovyle|2}}. The guild therefore begins an investigation to uncover the locations of the remaining Time Gears before Grovyle can steal them. The player and partner investigate the [[Northern Desert]], eventually finding out that something lies inside the quicksand at the end of the desert. They reach the lake underneath [[Quicksand Cave]]; after defeating the lake's guardian, Mesprit, Grovyle arrives to steal the lake's Time Gear, causing the player and partner to flee.

They return to the guild, where Dusknoir postulates that if the player touches the crystal that Bidoof found at [[Crystal Cave]], it may reveal whether there's a lake underneath it. The player sees a vision of Grovyle having defeated another Pokémon there, so the player and partner go to Crystal Cave to investigate. They reach the lake underneath [[Crystal Crossing]] and sees the lake's guardian, Azelf, being threatened by Grovyle as the player foresaw. They unsuccessfully attempt to defeat Grovyle in battle. Dusknoir then arrives, causing Grovyle to flee before other guild members arrive at the scene to tend to the injured player and partner.

Knowing that Azelf secured its Time Gear, Dusknoir knows Grovyle cannot achieve his goal. He tells the guild and residents of Treasure Town that if Grovyle succeeds, he will cause the planet's paralysis, where the flow of time completely stops. He also reveals that he and Grovyle came from the future. Having agreed with Treasure Town's sheriff, {{p|Magnezone}}, Dusknoir would capture Grovyle himself, then call the guild and Treasure Town's residents for one final farewell before taking Grovyle back to the future. The capture succeeds, and during the farewell, Dusknoir calls the player and partner forward after Grovyle is sent into the dimensional hole towards the future. Without warning, he grabs the player and partner and takes them into the dimensional hole as well.

The player and partner find themselves in a prison. They are then taken away to a stockade, where they would be executed by six {{p|Sableye}}. To their shock, they find Grovyle tied to the stockade as well. Grovyle convinces the player and partner to follow his plan to escape from the stockade. The trio flee, and when the partner sees the outside world, it is shocked to see that it is just as Dusknoir described if all the Time Gears had been stolen. Grovyle, still unable to gain the trust of the player and partner, decides to continue by himself. Then, the player and partner decide to catch up to him. They rescue Grovyle from a {{p|Spiritomb}} at [[Sealed Ruin]]. Grovyle decides to tell the player and partner his reason for stealing the Time Gears in the past. Although the partner still isn't fully trusting Grovyle, it decides to go with Grovyle and his next mission: to seek {{mdc|Celebi|2}}, who would lead them to the Passage of Time in order to return to the past. Though they make it to the Passage of Time, Dusknoir and his six Sableye corner the trio and Celebi, and call forth their own master, [[Primal Dialga]], to eliminate them once and for all. Here, Grovyle reveals that he did not return to the past alone. Dusknoir tells Grovyle to reveal the name of his companion. Grovyle is then shocked to find out that his companion, the player, is beside him having turned into a Pokémon. The partner is equally shocked to find out that Dusknoir misled everyone while he was in the past. Just as Grovyle seems to have lost all hope, the partner asks Celebi whether she can transport them nearer to the Passage of Time. Celebi complies, and the trio manage to enter the portal back to the past, with Celebi evading capture in the future.

The trio wake up at the beach back in the player's present time. Grovyle decides to collect the Time Gears again, starting with the one in [[Treeshroud Forest]]. After accomplishing this, the partner has Grovyle and the player hide in its old home, [[Sharpedo Bluff]], while it collects information about what has happened since the player and partner were away. Grovyle tells the player and partner about the [[Hidden Land]], which is where [[Temporal Tower]] is. The player and partner agree to find out how to get there, while Grovyle collects the other Time Gears.

The player and partner are welcomed back to the Wigglytuff Guild, where everyone believes the player and partner's account of the future except Chatot, who was highly skeptical. The player and partner are also told that the town elder, {{p|Torkoal}}, may also know about the Hidden Land. After an initial meeting failed to elicit a meaningful answer, Torkoal visits the guild himself the next day to elaborate on his answer. At that point, the player decides that the partner should show Torkoal the Relic Fragment. Torkoal confirms that the partner's treasure is what's needed. Wigglytuff and Chatot see the Relic Fragment's pattern and agree that they have seen it before. Thus, the guild prepares for an expedition into the [[Brine Cave]].

The player and partner reach the bottom of Brine Cave, and rescue Chatot from a {{p|Kabutops}} and two {{p|Omastar}}. They then see Wigglytuff and Grovyle further ahead, and find out that Wigglytuff had visited Brine Cave the night before. Using the partner's Relic Fragment, {{mdc|Lapras|2}} is summoned. It takes the player, partner and Grovyle to the Hidden Land after an overnight {{m|Surf}}. When the trio arrive at the old ruins on top of the Hidden Land, they see the [[Rainbow Stoneship]] which would take them up to the Temporal Tower. At that point, Dusknoir and his six Sableye apprehend them. The trio defeat the Sableye, forcing them to flee, but Dusknoir refuses to back down. It is only defeated when the trio counter a {{m|Shadow Ball}} launched from his mouth. While Dusknoir is down, Grovyle tells the partner to activate the Rainbow Stoneship using its Relic Fragment. While the partner is away, Dusknoir informs the player that if history is changed, all the Pokémon from the future would disappear, hoping to convince them to give up their mission. When the partner returns and informs them that the Stoneship is ready, Grovyle announces that he is taking Dusknoir back to the future. After leaving the Time Gears behind, he pushes Dusknoir through the dimensional hole with himself, and the hole disappears.

The partner gathers the Time Gears and goes with the player up Temporal Tower. At the pinnacle, they encounter a Dialga that is not fully Primal, and defeat it. With the tower's collapse advancing, the partner then hurriedly puts the Time Gears in place. The player and partner are knocked unconscious subsequently, but wake up to a Dialga whose senses were restored. It shows the player and partner areas where time's flow has returned to normal, and tells them to return home.

On the way back to the Rainbow Stoneship, the player starts to disappear. It tells the shocked partner that it is destined to disappear, because it came from the future which has now changed. As the partner's shock turns into grief and sorrow, the player expresses one last wish for its partner before disappearing completely. Months later, the partner goes out for a stroll at the beach and sees the bubbles blow over the sea. The partner remembers the last time it saw this: when it met the player. As the memories come flooding back, Bidoof goes to check on the partner. The partner finishes recalling its memories by collapsing in tears on Bidoof. At the Temporal Tower, Dialga decides to grant the partner's wish, and revives the player behind the partner at the beach.

In the post-game story, the player and partner take the graduation mission: they would bring back some treasure from the [[Mystifying Forest]], but are warned about the "grand master of all things bad" lurking there. A {{p|Teddiursa}}, who sees the player and partner before going to the forest too, does not recall encountering such a threat. They meet Teddiursa again at the clearing, where it still does not see such a threat. However, the player and partner fall into a pit covered by leaves, and eventually find out that "the grand master of all things bad" is just Wigglytuff and his apprentices thanks to Bidoof accidentally taking the cover off. After defeating their guild colleagues, the player and partner catch up with Teddiursa again. It shows them the [[Luminous Spring]], which has had its power restored and now allows Pokémon to evolve. Teddiursa successfully undergoes its evolution into {{p|Ursaring}}. However, when the partner tries to go for its evolution at the spring, it finds that it cannot, because it is causing a distortion in the fabric of space. The partner also finds out that the player cannot evolve for the same reason.

After graduating, the player and partner sleep and save their progress at the Sharpedo Bluff. They are now able to choose the team leader before going off to explore a dungeon. After going on a few explorations, the player will have dreams where a {{p|Cresselia}} tells it that it should not exist. The player and partner are then alerted to an incident where Azurill won't wake up. Chatot suggests that Drowzee should be asked to look into this. The partner recalls who Drowzee is, and officer {{p|Magnemite}} reveals that Drowzee is now on {{OBP|Mt. Travail|Explorers of Time, Darkness, and Sky}}. The player and partner go there to see Drowzee and lead him to Azurill. Drowzee tells the player and partner to get ready for an exploration of Azurill's dream. After wandering around in the dream, Cresselia then appears to both the player and partner, confirming that Azurill is in a nightmare, and the existence of them both will cause everyone in the world to be trapped in nightmares. But when Drowzee's voice is heard, Cresselia flees. Drowzee takes the player and partner out of Azurill's nightmare. After being told about Cresselia, Chatot recalls what it knows about the Pokémon, which seems contrary to how Cresselia appeared to the player and partner. The partner stops short of revealing any cure for the nightmares, telling the player later on that it was silly to take Cresselia's word for granted. After the player suggests that the circumstances are different: that the player disappeared first time around because it knew it would secure the world's future, and this time around it would not be certain that them disappearing would make things better, the partner feels a little bit better. The partner suggests to see Lapras to ask what it knows about the fabric of space. They go to sleep after hearing about {{mdc|Palkia|2}} and the [[Spacial Rift]], but are woken up by Palkia itself, who takes them to the Spacial Rift, determined to eliminate them. After being chased to a dead end, the player and partner defeat Palkia in battle, causing it to be immobilized. A voice tells the player and partner that Palkia is trapped in a nightmare, and offers them a look into it. Inside the nightmare, Cresselia appears once more, confirming once again that the world will be saved if the player and partner are eliminated. Palkia questions this; it reveals that Cresselia appeared in its dreams with its claims about the player and partner, but they don't seem to have any intention of causing trouble. Just as Cresselia is about to finish them off, a second Cresselia appears, exposing the first Cresselia to be {{mdc|Darkrai|2}} and pulling Palkia out of its nightmare, along with the player and partner.

At Treasure Town, the real Cresselia appears to Chatot and the guild members, having rescued Azurill from its nightmare. Cresselia reminds the player and partner of where they met her impostor: in dreams. Cresselia knows that Darkrai isn't acting like normal when he told the player and partner to meet at the [[Dark Crater]]. She knows that the player and partner have beaten him before: when they foiled the destruction of time at Temporal Tower. Finally, she tells the player and partner that even though they cause a distortion of space, it is too small and cannot expand on its own. But it was blamed on the player and partner in order to eliminate them. Thus, knowing what Darkrai is about, the guild members volunteer to go to the Dark Crater, but Cresselia tells them to be content with just the player, partner and herself going there.

At the deepest part of the Dark Crater, Darkrai tells the truth to the player and partner. He did seek to destroy time by destroying the Temporal Tower. But when he heard of the player and Grovyle's arrival from the future, he attacked them just as they were time traveling. His attack was intended for Grovyle, but the player shielded Grovyle, hence causing the memory loss and transformation into a Pokémon.
He then decides, instead of trying to eliminate the player and partner, he would convince them to join him. The partner appears to be convinced by this, and goes to Darkrai's side. But the player sees through this, knowing it's an illusion, and attacks Darkrai. After Darkrai is defeated in battle, he hatches an escape plan. He summons a dimensional hole that would allow him to plunge the world into darkness in another time. However, Palkia arrives to stop Darkrai once and for all, by firing an attack on Darkrai just as he begins to time-travel. After being assured by Cresselia that it means Darkrai had probably gained amnesia and would not return to his wicked ways, the player and partner return to Treasure Town triumphantly. The consequent cutscene is narrated in the partner's voice, where it mentions that it still cannot evolve. This remains the case until [[Marine Resort]] is unlocked and Palkia joins the exploration team.

{{endspoilers}}The player cannot customize their partner's gender. The partner can only be a fixed gender for the species.

==={{g|Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky}}===

As in Explorers of Time and Darkness, the game starts with a quiz to decide what Pokémon the player starts as, and then the player chooses a partner. The partner has to tag along and the player will automatically lose should the partner Pokémon be knocked out until the main story is completed. However, the player and partner will still walk around in [[Treasure Town]].

The player cannot customize their partner's gender. The partner can only be a fixed gender for the species.

===Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Gates to Infinity===

The player can choose between the [[Unova]] first partner Pokémon, {{p|Pikachu}}, and {{p|Axew}}.

In the Japanese version, the player can choose whether the partner is male or female. (Note: Due to an oversight, if the player chooses to have a female Pikachu, it will not have the gender difference applied.) The partner can only be male in the international versions.

=== Personality and role ===
The partner is infamous in [[Serene Village]] for being mischievous, and causing trouble for everyone. For instance, the first day [[Hero Pokémon|the player]] goes to school, they accidentally crash into them, knocking them out. Despite this, they are good hearted, and they dream of joining the [[Expedition Society]] to explore the world and help Pokémon in need. Later on, they meet {{mdc|Ampharos|smd}}, who drops his Connection Orb by accident. The player and partner chase after him, heading to [[Poliwrath River]]. The partner tells Ampharos about their dream to join the Expedition Society, and he then appoints them "Junior Expedition Society" members. Ampharos gets asked by the partner why he had the Expedition Badges and Gadgets on him, but gets interrupted before he can answer. Eventually, the player and their partner leave Serene Village and arrive in [[Lively Town]]. They first meet the Expedition Society members, who are chasing down {{p|Swirlix}} for eating all the food. They collapse from starvation and ask the player to get them some food. Afterwards, the partner tells them about how they've come to join the Expedition Society. Everyone is surprised by this, because it is a known rule that kids can't join the Expedition Society. Then, Ampharos suddenly comes in. The partner is surprised to see Ampharos there. He reveals that he is the leader of the Expedition Society, and proceeds to overrule the rule that kids can't join. Soon after joining the Expedition Society, the player and partner take a trip with {{mdc|Archen|smd}} to the [[Air Continent]]. They see two mysterious objects crash land in [[Mystical Forest]], and they go there to investigate. They discover [[Eon duo|Latios and Latias]], turned to stone. {{p|Entei}} then appears, asking if this was their handiwork. Entei does not fight them but leaves, giving them a stern warning. They return to the Expedition Society and report their findings to Ampharos.

A while later, the Expedition Society takes a trip to [[Fire Island Volcano|Fire Island]]. They are confronted by Entei, who they fight but get defeated by. Their [[Harmony Scarf|Harmony Scarves]] then activate, making them [[Evolution|evolve]] and have the power to defeat Entei. The evolution is only temporary, and they revert back to normal afterwards. Later on, Ampharos says they've found out Legendary Pokemon are being issued warnings, and that whoever is behind the turning-to-stone incidents is targeting them. Ampharos reveals they've been monitoring these turning-to-stone incidents for a while, and pledges that the Expedition Society will work hard to solve them. A few days later, a warning is dropped all over the plaza in Lively Town, stating that Entei is their next target to be turned to stone. They head to [[Showdown Mountain]] to try and stop the culprit. When they reach the summit, they notice {{mdc|Krookodile|smd}} has been following them, hiding. Krookodile proceeds to run away, and drops an ancient tablet behind. They continue on, and they find Entei already turned to stone with no one else around. The Expedition Society now suspects Krookodile of being involved in the incidents, and Ampharos gives Archen and Buizel the task of locating him. They return, having found a half-written warning letter at Krookodile's house. This makes them believe he really is the one turning Pokemon to stone. Mawile finishes deciphering the ancient tablet and says that they may find information at the [[Prehistoric Ruins]]. The next day, they hear that Krookodile is heading for Serene Village, and they decide to split up. The hero, partner, and Archen head after Krookodile, while the others head to the [[Prehistoric Ruins]]. When they arrive in the village, {{mdc|Nuzleaf|smd}} comes running, exclaiming that a "real ornery-lookin' Pokemon" broke through the gate to [[Revelation Mountain]] and is heading for the summit.

They follow Nuzleaf up the mountain. They reach the summit, and find no sign of Krookodile, but instead they see a spring surrounded by a mystic barrier. There's an ancient stone tablet which the partner is somehow able to read. It says the following:

''"Should you hope to overcome this crisis, summon a person. A person will have the power to break the barrier over the spring. You must summon a person from the world of humans."''

They then get a call from Dedenne, saying that a special water called [[Luminous Water]] can bring Pokemon back from being turned to stone, and that it's there at Revelation Mountain. Krookodile then shows up, along with {{p|Raikou}} and {{p|Suicune}}, who intend to avenge Entei. Krookodile ignores them and continues to advance towards the group. Nuzleaf tells the hero they need to get the barrier broken now, before it's too late. After breaking the barrier, Nuzleaf is revealed to be the true villain behind turning Pokemon to stone. He proceeds to turn Krookodile into stone with his dark power. Archen tells the hero to hurry up and get the Luminous Water, but Yveltal appears, stopping them from doing so. Nuzleaf and Yveltal combine forces to turn them all into stone. Then {{mdc|Yveltal|smd}} issues a warning to all Pokemon in the world that they will be turned to stone. The hero and partner find themselves in the [[Voidlands]], the world Pokemon are sent to after being turned to stone. As they make their way through the Voidlands, they learn that [[Dark Matter]] is behind Pokemon turning to stone, and absorbing their energy and the energy of the [[Tree of Life]] to become more powerful, so that it can eventually destroy the world. They eventually escape from the Voidlands, but Raikou, Entei, Suicune, and Mawile sacrifice themselves in the process.

After returning to the real world, they find out that many Pokemon have been turned to stone at that point. They go to the Expedition Society headquarters, where they find {{mdc|Espurr|smd}}.

She says that she witnessed Nuzleaf turn them to stone, and has been helping Ampharos ever since. They find a {{mdc|Beheeyem|smd}} sneaking around. After defeating it in a boss battle, the partner shows up, and they proceed to beat him up in revenge for turning everyone to stone. The Beheeyem begs for mercy and says that he was being controlled by Dark Matter, and that he had no control over his actions. Espurr says that [[Dark Matter]] can control Pokemon with even a little amount of darkness in their hearts, and the Pokemon that it controls gain the power to turn other Pokemon to stone. This explains Nuzleaf's actions. The Beheeyem was told that the Tree of Life is in the Prehistoric Ruins, and they head there looking for it. However, when they reach the bottom of the ruins, they find out it was a trap. Nuzleaf had given the Beheeyem false information, knowing it had broken free from Dark Matter's control. Nuzleaf tells them the whole story: when the hero had first arrived in the Pokemon world, they had still had their memory. After taking a psychic attack from Beheeyem, the hero developed amnesia, and Nuzleaf plotted to use that to his advantage. He had the Beheeyem attack the hero, knowing they would run for help, and he showed up on the scene. He pretended to be kind and caring towards the player, while really plotting to use them to break the barrier over the spring and drain the Luminous Water so it would be impossible to bring Pokemon back from stone. Right when Nuzleaf is about to turn them to stone, [[Jirachi (Pokémon)|Jirachi]] and Ampharos show up, along with [[Celebi (Pokémon)|Celebi]]. Celebi teleports them to Primeval Forest, close to the Tree of Life. They explain about how Dark Matter is made up of the negative feelings of all Pokemon, and how the Harmony Scarves were made from the Tree of Life to battle it. They reach the Tree of Life, nearly dead already, when they are attacked by Nuzleaf, Yveltal, and the Beheeyem, who have lost all sense of self due to Dark Matter's power growing very strong. The hero and partner evolve from the power of the Harmony Scarves again. After defeating them, Nuzleaf and the others seem to regain their senses, when they suddenly get teleported to the top of the Tree of Life by Dark Matter. Dark Matter then starts lifting the Tree of Life out of the planet's atmosphere, and towards the sun. They desperately jump up to reach the Tree of Life, and get onto it. The Harmony Scarves help them to breathe so high up.

They begin to climb up the Tree of Life, and towards Dark Matter. They eventually find Nuzleaf and the others being imprisoned and tortured by Dark Matter's power, and they free them. They escape, while the hero and partner continue to the top to fight Dark Matter. They attempt to fight Dark Matter, but it regenerates itself. At this point, the Tree of Life runs out of power, and they lose their evolutions. Dark Matter then turns most of the remaining Pokemon left to stone. Nuzleaf, the Beheeyem, and Yveltal then show up and help out by attacking Dark Matter. They are inevitably turned to stone too. The hero and partner are about to give up, when the spirits of every Pokemon in the world begin to encourage them and give them strength. The final fight against Dark Matter then begins. When they are about to destroy Dark Matter, it asks them if they really want to do it, saying that its pieces will scatter across the world and it will come back one day, stronger than ever. The partner then reasons with Dark Matter that it's a part of everyone, and says they accept it. Dark Matter is then smashed, and the destruction of the world is stopped, and everyone turned back to normal. They return to Serene Village, and everyone is there except Nuzleaf, who couldn't bear to face them after everything he had done. The hero believes they are going to disappear and return to the human world now that the world has been saved. The next day, they meet up with the partner on the hill. The partner says that [[Xerneas (Super Mystery Dungeon)|Xerneas]] made them remember everything, and that they were actually Mew in their previous life. The partner says they're the one that has to disappear, not the hero. They say goodbye, and the hero is left there crying after they disappear.

Later, presumably several months later, the hero is standing outside, pondering everything that happened. They still haven't gotten over the partner disappearing. Ampharos comes up to them, and asks them whether they are thinking about their partner. Ampharos says that [[Xatu (Pokémon)|Xatu]] may know a way to bring them back, and that he resides at the [[Sand Dune of Spirits]]. When the hero reaches Xatu, he tells them that he saw a vision of Mew, the partner's previous self, in the [[Mystery Jungle (Super Mystery Dungeon)|Mystery Jungle]].

The hero goes to the Mystery Jungle, and finds Mew there. However, after meeting this Mew, the hero concludes that it is a different Mew, and not their partner. Despite this, however, there are a few moments where Mew looks and acts just like their partner did.

A few days later, the hero wakes up in Serene Village on the hill with the tree. At first, they don't know what's going on. After a while, they start remembering what had happened: Mew had fallen ill suddenly, and Xatu had come to the Expedition Society, claiming that he sensed a piece of Dark Matter still within Mew. The hero had taken Mew to Serene Village to show them the view from the hill, in hopes of making Mew feel better. However, the hero was suddenly attacked, and Mew kidnapped.

The hero heads back to the Expedition Society, whereupon they find out the attacker had left a note behind. The note states that they intend to sacrifice Mew in [[Purifying Cave]] to eliminate Dark Matter once and for all.

The hero heads to Purifying Cave to save Mew. When they reach the bottom, they discover it was Nuzleaf and the Beheeyem behind the kidnapping of Mew. Nuzleaf says that he's truly sorry, but that Dark Matter has to be destroyed. Mew begins to fade away. The hero wonders whether this is really the right thing to do. Remembering the pain they felt when they had to say goodbye to their partner, the hero realizes that they never want to have to say goodbye again. Their strong feelings start resonating with their Harmony Scarf, and it begins to glow. The light from the two Harmony Scarves combines, restoring the partner, but making the scarves disappear. Ampharos shows up, and he reveals that this was all arranged to lead the hero here. Xatu had not seen a piece of Dark Matter inside Mew, but in fact the partner's spirit. Nuzleaf and the Beheeyem, sincerely wishing to atone for their actions, agreed to help by kidnapping Mew and leading the hero to Purifying Cave. If the hero's feelings were strong enough, the partner could come back.

===Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Rescue Team DX===
Every playable character from Red and Blue Rescue Team returns. Unlike in the original, Meowth, Psyduck, Machop, Cubone, Eevee and Skitty can now be chosen as the partner. Additionally, both the player and partner Pokémon, as well as the third team member, must be knocked out during missions prior to finishing the main storyline in order for it to count as a failure of the mission.

The player can choose to have a male or a female partner, and the corresponding gender differences are applied for Pikachu and Eevee. In addition, whether the partner is male or female changes their dialogue.

Hadron Engine (Ability)

{{AbilityInfobox/desc|IX|Turns the ground into Electric Terrain when the Pokémon enters a battle. The futuristic engine within the Pokémon also boosts its Sp. Atk stat on Electric Terrain.}}
|}
'''Hadron Engine''' (Japanese: '''ハドロンエンジン''' ''{{wp|Hadron}} Engine'') is an [[Ability]] introduced in [[Generation IX]]. It is the [[signature Ability]] of {{p|Miraidon}}.

==Effect==
===In battle===
{{AbilityResearch|Re-verify claim Trace can copy Hadron Engine}}
Hadron Engine creates the effect of the move {{m|Electric Terrain}} on the battlefield as soon as a Pokémon with Hadron Engine enters the battle. The Electric Terrain lasts for five turns. This can be extended to eight turns if the Pokémon is holding a [[Terrain Extender]].

Hadron Engine also boosts the Pokémon's {{stat|Special Attack}} stat by roughly 33% (or more precisely, by a factor of 5461/4096) on Electric Terrain. This boost will occur even if the Pokémon is not [[grounded]].

Hadron Engine displays a message when the Pokémon enters the battle, even if there already is an Electric Terrain. However, if Electric Terrain is summoned while a Pokémon with Hadron Engine already is in battle, no message is displayed (contrary to [[Quark Drive]]).

{{m|Skill Swap}} fails if either Pokémon has Hadron Engine. {{a|Trace}} can copy Hadron Engine. {{M|Role Play}}, {{m|Entrainment}}, and {{m|Doodle}} all fail when used on a target with Hadron Engine. Hadron Engine is affected by {{m|Simple Beam}} and {{a|Mummy}}, thus allowing its ability to be replaced by those.

===Outside of battle===
Hadron Engine has no effect outside of battle.

|}
'''{{Wp|Orichalcum}} Pulse''' (Japanese: '''ひひいろのこどう''' ''Scarlet Pulse'') is an [[Ability]] introduced in [[Generation IX]]. It is the [[signature Ability]] of {{p|Koraidon}}.

==Effect==
===In battle===
Orichalcum Pulse summons {{weather|harsh sunlight}} in battle as soon as a Pokémon with Orichalcum Pulse enters the battle. Its effects are the same as the move {{m|Sunny Day}}, which lasts for five turns. This can be extended to eight turns if the Pokémon is holding a [[Heat Rock]].

Orichalcum Pulse also boosts the Pokémon's {{stat|Attack}} stat by roughly 33% (or more precisely, by a factor of 5461/4096) in harsh sunlight. This boost will occur even if the Pokémon is holding a [[Utility Umbrella]].

Orichalcum Pulse displays a message when the Pokémon enters the battle, even if there already is harsh sunlight. However, if harsh sunlight is summoned while a Pokémon with Orichalcum Pulse already is in battle, no message is displayed (contrary to {{a|Protosynthesis}}).

{{m|Skill Swap}} fails if either Pokémon has Orichalcum Pulse. Orichalcum Pulse cannot be copied by {{A|Trace}}. {{M|Role Play}}, {{m|Entrainment}}, and {{m|Doodle}} all fail when used on a target with Orichalcum Pulse. Orichalcum Pulse is affected by {{m|Simple Beam}} and {{a|Mummy}}, thus allowing its ability to be replaced by those.

Orichalcum Pulse will fail if overworld weather is present.

===Outside of battle===
Orichalcum Pulse has no effect outside of battle.

[[File:Kye.png|thumb|250px|Kye]]
'''Kye''' (Japanese: '''ケン''' ''Ken'') is a [[character of the day]] who appeared in ''[[XY049|Bonnie for the Defense!]]''. He is part of the self-appointed "{{p|Lapras}} Defense Force", together with [[Heidi]] and [[Jay]]. As part of a running gag, Kye often mispronounces his words, causing him to be corrected by Jay.

He and the other members initially disliked grownups, believing them all to be liars. This was because he, Heidi, and Jay once found an abandoned {{p|Eevee}}. They cared for it, but were caught by a teacher. The teacher promised them nothing would happen as long as they were being honest, and after providing an explanation, the teacher took the Eevee away from them.

Later, after a thunderstorm occurred, Kye and his friends found traces of something dragging itself through the forest. They followed them and arrived at a lake where they met an injured Lapras. Although it appeared scared at first, the children quickly gained its trust and promised to protect it by forming the Lapras Defense Force.

In the present day, Kye and his friends stopped {{an|Bonnie}}, who was taking a stroll through the forest. Although he, Heidi, and Jay did not want anyone to know about Lapras because of the danger of [[Pokémon poacher]]s, they inadvertently told Bonnie about Lapras when they introduced themselves as the Lapras Defense Force. When Bonnie heard Lapras's cry, they decided to introduce her to it. While the children played, Bonnie noticed Lapras was feverish and suggested the Defense Force get someone to help, but Kye and the others were skeptical and feared for Lapras's safety. They were found by {{Ash}}, {{an|Clemont}}, and {{an|Serena}}, who echoed Bonnie's concerns that they get [[Nurse Joy]] to help Lapras recover. Kye, Heidi, and Jay start crying out of guilt, and they decided to call in Nurse Joy.

Nurse Joy healed Lapras and informed the children that the Eevee their teacher had taken away from them had been brought back safely to its Trainer, causing Kye and the others to rethink their opposition to adults. After healing, Lapras started to cry out to the sky, and Clemont figured it had been separated from its friends, who were likely out at sea. After Bonnie had a word with the Lapras Defense Force, they decided that if they really loved Lapras, they would return it to its natural habitat. Later, he, Heidi, Jay, and Bonnie returned Lapras to sea safely while Ash, Clemont, and Serena battled {{TRT}}. The Lapras Defense Force said goodbye to Lapras as reunited with its friends and hoped they would meet it again someday. The day after, he, Heidi, and Jay said goodbye to Ash and his friends.

He reappeared in a flashback in ''[[XY140|Till We Compete Again!]]''.

After playing with Lapras, the children discovered its body was feeling hot and deduced it had not properly recovered from its wound. It was briefly treated by {{an|Clemont}}, but he suggested they should bring a [[Nurse Joy]] as Lapras had a serious fever. Nurse Joy arrived and quickly made Lapras recover. After healing, Lapras started to cry out for the sky. Clemont figured it wanted to return to its friends in the sea. Although the children were initially against the idea of letting Lapras return to its natural habitat, they decided that if they really loved it, they would help in returning it.

Moments later, {{TRT}} appeared, wanting to steal Lapras. While {{Ash}}, Clemont, and {{an|Serena}} fought them, the Lapras Defense Force including Bonnie ensured Lapras was guided safely to the sea. Although it got confused by [[James's Inkay]]'s {{m|Psybeam}}, Heidi made it remember the good times they had with it. After this, its friends quickly came to help it and froze Team Rocket with {{m|Ice Beam}}. Afterwards, Lapras said goodbye to the Lapras Defense Force as it returned to sea with it friends.

It reappeared in a flashback in ''[[XY140|Till We Compete Again!]]''.

Lapras's only known move is {{m|Water Gun}}.}}

==Blurb==

We come across a disguised Team Rocket, pretending to run a Pokémon Day Care and promising they can evolve anyone's Pokémon in two hours! A young boy named Roland agrees to let them do just that. He leaves his Magby with them. Later, when Ian runs into our heroes and tells them what he's done, they become suspicious of such a claim. But when they all go back to the Day Care, it's gone!

Roland immediately decides to tell his mentor, Bertha, about it. Brock is shocked to recognize Bertha as a member of the Elite Four, but Bertha asks Brock not to tell anyone. Bertha begins to guide Roland and our heroes in paying close attention to the details of the situation, and they soon come across the disguised Team Rocket in yet another location, trying to steal more Pokémon.

Some fierce battling ensues, with Bertha teaching and demonstrating the "power of observation." But when Team Rocket attempts to outfit their Pokémon with what they dub "Powering-Up Parts," that is the last straw! Team Rocket is sent blasting off again, while Magby is safely returned to Roland.

Bertha and Roland thank our heroes for their help. Bertha asks if there is anything she can do in return. After discovering she's a member of the Elite Four, Ash requests a battle with her. Although Ash and Torterra lose the Battle to Bertha and Hippowdon, Ash gains valuable experience and practice with the power of observation, and Dawn discovers how valuable careful observation is for her and her Pokémon Contests, as well!

==Plot==
A [[List of Team Rocket's disguises|disguised]] {{TRT}} is running a phony [[Pokémon Day Care]], promising {{pkmn|Trainer}}s to [[Evolution|evolve]] any {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} left in their care within a two-hour period. A young Trainer with a {{p|Magby}} passes by and Team Rocket easily talks him into it. They take him inside their makeshift shop and tell him about their plan. While the Trainer is excited, Team Rocket [[Boss fantasy|fantasizes]] about giving Magby to {{an|Giovanni|the Boss}}. The Trainer leaves Magby and his {{i|Poké Ball}} before leaving.

Meanwhile, {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} arrive in the same town, en route to [[Lake Valor]]. The same boy crosses their path and is excited to notice a cute Pokémon. He takes interest in [[Ash's Pikachu]], which upsets {{an|Dawn}}'s {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}}. After quick introductions, Ash lets [[Roland]] play with his Pikachu in a local park. Dawn wants Piplup to play too, but he is still upset. When asked about what Pokémon he has, Roland mentions his Magby, which Dawn looks up. When asked to see it, Roland tells about his earlier action of letting the day care evolve it. This instantly gets the group's attention, knowing something is amiss, because it's utterly unreasonable for the daycare to claim they can evolve a Pokémon in only 2 hours. When Roland takes them to the shop where he left Magby, they find it completely locked up. The building is also bare, with the signs gone. Roland realizes his mistake and needs to inform [[Bertha]]. That name gets {{an|Brock}}'s attention as someone calls out to Roland. She introduces herself as Bertha. Brock feels that he knows who she is, but before he can say it, she drags him away and confirms she is part of the [[Sinnoh]] [[Elite Four]], but to not say anything. Bertha wants to train Roland, but when he says his Magby was stolen, she is clearly upset. Roland is related to Bertha, a child to one of her cousins, and that she was asked to train Roland. She lectures him on responsibility and to correct his mistake. Ash and his friends decide to help. As they walk, Ash and Dawn share their goals with Bertha as she asks about their plan to search, which stumps them as they have been searching aimlessly.

Ash spots a building with an observatory and suggests going there, which pleases Bertha. At the tower, Roland uses a binocular stand to look around, spotting the same shop in a different location. When Ash and his friends confront the owners, they try to deny it, but their disguise fails when the shop crumbles by [[Jessie]]'s hand. They use pink smoke to cover their escape, distracting the others, but Bertha steps out of the way. They proceed to chase Team Rocket, but Ash suggests to split up and box them in, pleasing Bertha at his planning. They almost box Team Rocket in, but they run down another street into a field. When Ash and his friends follow, they run into a series of Windmill towers. It looks like Team Rocket is safely concealed, but Bertha tells them to observe any disparities. They notice one of the towers not spinning at all.

After being spotted, Team Rocket knocks over the fake windmill tower they were hiding in, inflating [[Team Rocket's mechas|their balloon]] and taking off. Ash sends {{AP|Staraptor}} after them with {{m|Aerial Ace}}, but Meowth simply reacts by activating a Staraptor-shaped "Aerial Ace Defense" mecha under the balloon to knock out Staraptor before it could attack. Bertha responds by saying that there is now only one way to do and soon everyone is sent on a wild hayride in her SUV. Once Ash spots the balloon, Bertha sends out her {{p|Gliscor}} and prepares for a {{m|Guillotine}} attack. Meowth once again isn't hazed and responds by activating a Gliscor-shaped "Guillotine Defense" mecha. However, Gliscor easily destroys the device and bursts the balloon, too.

Once the balloon crashes, Ash and his friends confront them at the crash site but Jessie and [[James]] are not going to get away without a battle; they bring out {{TP|Jessie|Seviper}} and {{TP|James|Carnivine}} while Ash and Dawn respond with {{AP|Buizel}} and {{TP|Dawn|Pachirisu}}. The two Pokémon easily dodge their attacks, while a {{m|SonicBoom}} from Buizel strikes the crooks, allowing the heroes to recover Roland's Magby. Bertha suggests to Roland to now join the battle, to which he summons Magby and while taking a {{m|Vine Whip}} from Carnivine, it retaliates with {{m|Flamethrower}}; significantly damaging Carnivine. Team Rocket; fustrated with losing once again, resort to a sneaky trick as Meowth launches some powering-up parts to increase Seviper and Carnivine's power, much to the shock of Ash and his friends. With their enhanced power, Carnivine and Sevivper easily knock down Buizel and Pachirisu. Team Rocket gloats at the heroes, but Bertha angrily scolds them for tampering their Pokémon to gain an unfair advantage. Jessie and James, offended by her remarks prepare to attack her; to which Bertha simply sends out her {{p|Golem}} and uses {{m|Rock Blast}}, destroying the powering-up parts and [[Fainting#In the anime|knocking them out]], surprising Team Rocket. While Ash and his friends are all amazed at Golem's natural strength, Bertha has Roland attack with Magby's {{m|Fire Punch}} and sends Team Rocket blasting off again.

Everyone is impressed by Bertha, and Brock slips that she is an Elite Four member. She reveals that she dislikes being called that, but confirms it. She thanks them and Ash requests a {{pkmn|battle}}, which she accepts. On the field, she summons {{p|Hippowdon}}. Ash checks the [[Pokédex]]. So he summons {{AP|Torterra}}. Ash orders a {{m|Leaf Storm}}, but Hippowdon dodges by {{m|Dig|going underground}}. Hippowdon comes up from under Torterra and quickly strikes with {{m|Iron Head}}. Torterra takes it and gets back up. Torterra uses {{m|Rock Climb}} to raise rocks all around and charges, but meets with an Iron Head. The dust consumes the area and all the Pokémon are slowly revealed, Hippowdon still standing. Through the dust, Bertha encourages Ash to be more observant in battle as well as in life, which is a useful skill all around.

Hippowdon goes back underground as Ash observes. He remembers that rocks would shake before Hippowdon emerges. Ash spots the rocks moving behind Torterra, ordering it to dodge and fire Leaf Storm. The move hits, which impresses Bertha, but Hippowdon recovers and goes back underground. This time, Hippowdon circles around Torterra from underground, making it impossible to predict where he will come up from and dodge. Hippowdon strikes with another Iron Head, launching Torterra into the air before biting with {{m|Fire Fang}} and throwing Torterra down, giving Bertha the win. Ash tends to Torterra and accepts the loss, while Bertha encourages Ash to develop his observation skills while praising his ability to take pressure.

===Errors===

===Dub edits===
* In the original Japanese version, Bertha uses a pseudonym with everyone to keep her identity a secret. In the English dub, she just uses her real name.
* In the English dub, Bertha says that [[Roland]] is the child of her cousin. In the original Japanese version, she says that he is a child of a relative of hers.

[[File:Sheridan.png|250px|thumb|Sheridan]]
'''Sheridan''' (Japanese: '''セキドー''' ''Sekidō'') is a [[character of the day]] who appeared in ''[[AG052|Cheer Pressure]]''.

Sheridan was the leader of a Pokémon cheering squad. He claimed that cheering during a [[Pokémon battle]] would help a Pokémon heal itself, and allow it to gain the upper hand. [[Thatcher]] thought this was an interesting concept, so he joined the cheering squad.

However, when {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} visited the school, they immediately became suspicious. [[Max]] even thought he saw electricity flowing from the drums. After spying on Sheridan, he discovered that the entire concept was a fraud to make him rich. Pokémon were being hidden in the drums and using {{m|Aromatherapy}} and {{m|Helping Hand}} during battles.

{{TRT}} heard about Sheridan's cheerleading school and thought they could use his cheering powers to finally beat Ash and steal [[Ash's Pikachu|Pikachu]]. However, this plan was ruined when Max pushed the drums the Pokémon were hidden in, exposing Sheridan's scheme.

After his fraudulent activities were uncovered, Sheridan took off running, promising to send a check. It is not known what happened to him after the incident.

'''Sheridan''' (Japanese: '''セキドー''' ''Sekidō'') is a [[character of the day]] who appeared in ''[[AG052|Cheer Pressure]]''.

Sheridan was the leader of a Pokémon cheering squad. He claimed that cheering during a [[Pokémon battle]] would help a Pokémon heal itself, and allow it to gain the upper hand. [[Thatcher]] thought this was an interesting concept, so he joined the cheering squad.

However, when {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} visited the school, they immediately became suspicious. [[Max]] even thought he saw electricity flowing from the drums. After spying on Sheridan, he discovered that the entire concept was a fraud to make him rich. Pokémon were being hidden in the drums and using {{m|Aromatherapy}} and {{m|Helping Hand}} during battles.

{{TRT}} heard about Sheridan's cheerleading school and thought they could use his cheering powers to finally beat Ash and steal[[Ash's Pikachu|Pikachu]]. However, this plan was ruined when Max pushed the drums the Pokémon were hidden in, exposing Sheridan's scheme.

After his fraudulent activities were uncovered, Sheridan took off running, promising to send a check. It is not known what happened to him after the incident.

==Blurb==

On the way to Fennel Valley and Ash's rematch with Brandon, our heroes meet Chatot, a Pokémon that can imitate anything it hears. However, this Chatot keeps running away from its Trainer, Audrey! After Ash and his friends help Audrey get Chatot back, Audrey explains that she and Chatot are a stand-up comedy duo. The only problem is that Audrey can't travel to perform her act because Chatot keeps flying away.

Team Rocket shows up to steal Chatot, but Ash and his Pokémon drive them off as usual. Chatot then flies away again, but the phrases it says are a clue that let our heroes figure out its destination: a children's hospital! At first Chatot went there to eat fruit in the hospital garden, but now it's a friend to all the patients. One girl in particular, Corinna, is really attached to Chatot. She's upset to hear that Audrey and Chatot are headed to Johto for a Comedy Grand Prix.

Audrey and our heroes put on a comedy show for Corinna and the other kids. Team Rocket tries to steal the spotlight and swipe Chatot, but Ash's Sceptile puts a premature end to their performance. All the children are delighted to see a real Pokémon battle, and even Corinna wishes Audrey and Chatot well as the duo goes to take their show on the road. Thinking about the children they helped that day, Ash and his friends continue their own journey.

==Plot==
{{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} are heading towards the location of the [[Battle Pyramid]] in [[Fennel Valley]] to challenge {{an|Brandon|Pyramid King Brandon}} for the [[Symbol|Brave Symbol]]. They hear a voice repeating {{AP|Pikachu}}'s name and see a {{p|Chatot}} in a tree. {{an|Brock}} explains that Chatot repeats everything a Trainer or Pokémon says. A girl named {{OBP|Ada|AG184}} runs up to them and asks that they help her catch the Chatot but it flies away. After finally catching up to Chatot, Ada introduces herself and Chatot to everyone. {{an|May}} looks up Chatot in his [[Pokédex]] while it repeats what the Pokédex is saying. Ada says that Chatot's repeating can be annoying while it repeats her words and everyone laughs. She explains that she and Chatot are an aspiring stand-up comedy duo called the Seesaw Chat-a-Lots, and they're on their way to the Comedy Grand Prix in [[Johto]], aspiring to become the world's greatest comedy duo. Ash tells her that he wants to become the greatest [[Pokémon Master]].

Ada shows her act to everyone and begins by introducing themselves as the Seesaw Chat-a-Lots. Ada says several comedic lines and Chatot keeps repeating them as they go back and forth, while everyone laughs. They finish the act by them both doing a rap about Pikachu, as Chatot says some of Pikachu's attack commands, and finishes by saying {{m|Rock Throw}}. Corina says to Chatot that Pikachu isn't a {{t|Rock}} type. Ash and his friends clap and tell Ada that they did a great job and that it would make a great act. Ada explains that she has tried to go to the Comedy Grand Prix, but her Chatot keeps coming out of its {{i|Poké Ball}} and flying away during the day while not coming back until it is night time. When Chatot comes back, it keeps saying strange things. Meanwhile, {{TRT}} is observing them the whole time and imagines that they would give Chatot to their {{an|Giovanni|boss}}. As he wakes up in the morning, he would say good morning and Chatot would repeat good morning to him. During breakfast they would exchange a laugh over a knock-knock joke. After exchanging the knock-knock joke, {{TRM}} imagines that the boss would write them a check as the reward.

As they are walking, Ada asks them to eat lunch at her place, and they think that Chatot won't fly away while they are eating. They run into Team Rocket disguised as businessmen. [[Jessie]] almost begins to recite the motto by mistake but [[James]] stops her. They offer bags that have a speaker that gives a laugh when they squeeze it. The blue bag gives off a man's laugh, while the red bag gives off a woman's laugh. The laughs freak out Ash and his friends and they don't want it but Team Rocket hands it to them anyway and runs off. Ash and May squeeze the bags as they explode in their faces. Team Rocket uses a mechanical grabber to grab Chatot. They recite their motto before floating away in their balloon as everyone follows them. Ash brings out {{AP|Swellow}} which uses {{m|Aerial Ace}} to hit the balloon and free Chatot from its cage. Ash brings out {{AP|Aipom}} to use {{m|Swift}} to send Team Rocket blasting off while their laughing bags fall to the ground.

As Ash and his friends are eating lunch, Chatot begins to recite strange phrases again. Chatot flies off and everyone decides to follow it. Chatot recites some more phrases about taking a person's temperature, and hating shots. It flies out of sight and they decide to stop and think about where Chatot may be going by figuring out what the repeated phrases mean. Brock figures out that hospitals deal with temperature taking and shots. They go to the hospital that was nearby. Chatot flies into the hospital and greets the children. It repeats the hospital phrases and the kids laugh and say Chatot is very cute and funny. The nurse comes in and says there won't be any shots today and will be taking the girl's temperature instead. Ash and his friends arrive and realize the reason Chatot was running off every afternoon. As the nurse closes the window, she asks everyone why they are at the hospital.

The nurse and the doctor explain to everyone that the hospital is just for children and that Chatot was coming there every day to cheer them up. [[Corina]] explains to them that she first saw Chatot in a tree eating apples and when she said hi, it kept repeating back phrases to her, making her laugh. Corina left out some cookies for Chatot to eat and after that Chatot came back every day to make the children laugh and repeat phrases about taking their temperature and hating shots. Ada tells Corina that Chatot and her are in a comedy act and that they have to leave for the Comedy Grand Prix. Corina complains that they won't be able to see Chatot again as she runs off crying. The nurse suggests that Ada and Chatot practice their act in front of the children and everyone decides that they will help out as well.

Brock begins the act by [[Takeshi's Paradise|singing and dancing to Mexican music while wearing a sombrero and shaking maracas]] along with {{AP|Corphish}} doing dancing as well. The children find the act to be very awkward and [[Max]] also finds it to be very awkward. Max tries to get Corina to come see the show because it will be a lot of fun. Ash does his routine next, having Pikachu ride on top of {{AP|Donphan}} as it uses {{m|Defense Curl}} and rolls across the stage. Pikachu falls and everyone laughs, while Max asks Corina to come closer to see the show. Max throws [[Pokémon food]] into the air and {{TP|May|Munchlax}} catches them in its mouth. Max has Corina give it a try as well and she tosses food for Munchlax to catch. Everyone comments on how they knew that Corina would enjoy the show if she came to see it. {{an|May}} is up next as she has {{TP|May|Eevee}} use {{m|Shadow Ball}} and {{TP|May|Squirtle}} use {{m|Ice Beam}} to create a rainbow explosion as it sparkles to the ground. Ada and Chatot are the last act, as they start out by doing the back and forth routine that they practiced before and the Pikachu rap. Chatot makes a comment about {{m|Razor Leaf}} and Corina points out that it's a {{type|Grass}} move. The children laugh at the routine.

Several of the laughing bags from before fall from the sky and land on the ground creating explosions. Team Rocket appears in colorful suits and polka dot ties and recites their motto. They decide to do their own act in front of the children. James calls them the wacky Team Rocket and they hit him in the head. He opens up an umbrella and spins {{TP|James|Cacnea}}'s Poké Ball on top of it. The children do not laugh during this part of the routine. James brings out Cacnea who hugs him, and has it spin on top of the umbrella and hit the ground hard while being dizzy. The children laugh during that part of the routine. Team Rocket uses a mechanical device to again grab Chatot and make their get away. Ash brings out {{AP|Sceptile}} while Jessie brings out {{TP|Jessie|Dustox}}. Dustox uses {{m|Tackle}} while Sceptile dodges. Dustox uses {{m|Poison Sting}} while Sceptile dodges and uses {{m|Quick Attack}}. James has Cacnea try and help, but it's too dizzy to attack. Sceptile uses {{m|Bullet Seed}} which hits Dustox and frees Chatot. Chatot uses {{m|Peck}} on Meowth and flies away. Team Rocket tries to get away in their balloon, but Sceptile uses {{m|Leaf Blade}} to send Dustox into the balloon, causing an explosion blasting them off. During the battle, the children were having fun watching, it since they have never seen a battle before.

The children wish Ada luck with her comedy routine and that they will be happy to eventually see her and Chatot on TV. They say to her that they had a lot of fun watching the routine and the battle. Corina gives Ada the cookies that she told her about earlier. Corina says that she is sad to see them go and that she probably won't see Chatot at the hospital anymore. Before saying goodbye, Chatot repeats Corina's statements one more time to make her laugh. Ash and his friends wish Ada luck with the Comedy Grand Prix, and Ada wishes Ash luck with the {{gdis|Battle Frontier|III}}. They say they will win both for the children as the head off in opposite directions.

==Trivia==
* This episode was the first to air in Japan after the theatrical release of [[M09]].
* The English dub title is a take on a line from {{wp|Stephen Sondheim}}'s song "Comedy Tonight" from the musical ''{{wp|A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum}}''. The original line in the song is "Tragedy tomorrow, comedy tonight".
* {{an|Brock}} performs part of [[Takeshi's Paradise]] to entertain the children.
* [[Pokémon Symphonic Medley]] and an alternate mix of [[Polka O Dolka]] were used as background music.
* In the Japanese version, {{OBP|Ada|AG184}} and {{p|Chatot}} switch to a {{wp|Kansai dialect}} when they are performing their {{wp|manzai}}, which is a style of comedy in Japan.
** Ada heads for a Manzai Grand Prix in [[Johto]], which is based on the {{wp|Kansai}} region.
** {{adv|Diamond}} and {{adv|Pearl}} also went to a Manzai Grand Prix.

===Errors===
* {{an|May}}'s Pokédex calls Chatot the "Music Pokémon" instead of the Music Note Pokémon.
* Ada mispronounces Chatot as {{wp|Help:IPA for English#Key|/tʃəˈtɒt/}} at first, which Chatot actually mimics. Otherwise, "Chatot" is consistently pronounced /ˈtʃætɒt/ for the rest of the episode.

===Dub edits===
* In the {{pmin|Portugal|Portuguese}} dub of the episode, Chatot speaks in English with Portuguese subtitles. In the other versions, Chatot's voice is dubbed.
* {{TPCi|Pokémon USA}} made their own rendition of [[Takeshi's Paradise]] with only three instruments: piano, bass, and maraca.
* In the {{pmin|Denmark|Danish}} version, the See-Saw Chatalots are called ''{{tt|Nordsøens Knold og Chatot|Tuber and Chatot of the North Sea}}'' to relate to Danish children, but this also confused viewers.
**The {{pmin|India|Hindi}} Hungama TV dub also describes Ada and Chatot as residents of the {{wp|North Sea}}, while the word "See-Saw Chatalots" is never used.
* In the English dub, in the boss fantasy, Giovanni tries a knock-knock joke with Chatot, but it keeps saying "knock-knock" back to him instead of what is normally said in the game. In the original Japanese version, they play a game of {{wp|shiritori}}. Giovanni says the word "shinbunshi", and they go back and forth saying the same word over and over.
* In the original Japanese version, while it is reciting the Tail Whip and Razor Leaf joke, Chatot pretends to be an Eevee, which it doesn't do in the English dub.

{{redirect|Trainer|other uses|Trainer (disambiguation)}}
[[File:Bandai Jumbo5 Peeled.jpg|thumb|250px|[[Generation I]] artwork of Pokémon Trainers flying on their Pokémon]]
A '''Pokémon Trainer''' (Japanese: '''ポケモントレーナー''' ''Pokémon Trainer'') is a [[Human|person]] who {{pkmn2|caught|catches}}, {{pkmn|training|trains}}, cares for, and {{pkmn|battle}}s with {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. The majority of people within the known [[Pokémon world]] are Trainers.

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

==Terminology==
This is officially written as "'''Trainer'''" starting with a capital letter. However, in some early official media, it was written in lowercase as "'''trainer'''" instead. For instance: ''"You've been finally granted your Pokémon '''trainer'''<nowiki/>'s license. Now it's time to to become the world's greatest Pokémon '''trainer'''!'' (written on the back of the boxes of {{game|Red and Blue|s}})

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

Pokémon Trainers come in all sorts of [[#Trainer class|classes]]: {{tc|Youngster}}s tend to stay close to home, and {{tc|Bug Catcher}}s swarm about the {{t|Bug}}-filled forests; {{tc|Hiker}}s traverse mountains and [[cave]]s, {{tc|Fisherman|Fishermen}} are rarely far from water, and {{tc|Ace Trainer}}s aspire to compete in the [[Pokémon League]]. A Trainer's class may reflect their [[Type expert|favorite type]], the areas they prefer, their technique, and their level of skill; however, even within each class, Trainers may vary greatly.
[[File:Ash Unova Pokédex.png|thumb|250px|A Pokédex and set of Poké Balls for a beginning Trainer in ''[[Pokémon the Series: Black & White]]'']]
In the games, Trainers tend to have Pokémon whose [[gender]] matches theirs.

Many towns have a [[Gym]] run by a strong and experienced Trainer known as a [[Gym Leader]]. Other Trainers may challenge a Gym Leader, and if the Gym Leader is defeated in battle, they award the challenger a [[Badge]]. However, in the [[Pokémon anime]], the Gym Leader may award the Trainer a Badge for other reasons, since the Badge is a symbol of the Trainer's skill. For example, {{Ash}} won several of his early Badges by refusing to take an unfair advantage or going out of his way to save a Gym, which proved himself as an exceptional Trainer outside of battle. In [[Alola]], each of the four islands has a [[Island kahuna|kahuna]] who may be challenged by traveling Trainers taking the [[island challenge]] after the completion of their island's trials.

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

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

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

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

===Trainer class===
'''Trainer classes''' are the types of [[non-player character|non-playable]] Pokémon Trainers that players can battle in all [[core series]] Pokémon games. They come in different varieties and sprites which describe their occupation, estimated age, and sometimes what Pokémon they train. For example, a {{tc|Psychic}} is a young adult with telekinetic powers who trains {{type|Psychic}} Pokémon.

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

Starting from [[Generation III]], the [[player character|player]] assumes the form of a generic Trainer class of their choice when data of this player is exchanged wirelessly or through [[record mixing]] to another core series game of the same generation.

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

* {{game|Gold and Silver|s|Pokémon Gold, Silver}}, and {{v2|Crystal}}: {{ga|Red}}, {{ga|Cal}}, and {{ga|Carrie}}
* {{game|Emerald}}: {{Steven}}
* [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl|Pokémon Diamond, Pearl]], and [[Pokémon Platinum|Platinum]]: the [[Stat Trainers]] ([[Cheryl]], [[Mira]], [[Riley]], [[Buck]], and [[Marley]])
* {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}: Red
* {{game|Black and White|s}}: [[Cynthia]], {{ga|Hilbert}}{{tt|*|as NPC}}, {{ga|Hilda}}{{tt|*|as NPC}}.
* {{B2W2}}: Cynthia, [[Colress]]{{tt|*|Before he is revealed to be a member of Team Plasma, as well as after Team Plasma's defeat}}, [[Rood]], N, [[Alder]], [[Cilan]], [[Chili]], [[Cress]], {{ga|Nate}}{{tt|*|as NPC}}, and {{ga|Rosa}}{{tt|*|as NPC}}.
* {{g|X and Y}}: [[Trevor]], [[AZ]], [[Emma|Essentia]], and [[Malva]]{{tt|*|During the post-game Looker sidequest}}
* {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}: [[Zinnia]]{{tt|*|First battle}}
* [[Pokémon Sun and Moon|Pokémon Sun, Moon]], [[Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon]]: [[Dexio]], [[Sina]]{{sup/7|MUM}}, [[Molayne]]{{sup/7|SM}}, [[Anabel]]{{sup/7|SM}}, Red{{tt|*|First optional encounter}}, Blue{{tt|*|First optional encounter}}, [[Ryuki]], [[Plumeria]]{{tt|*|After Team Skull is disbanded}}, [[Guzma]]{{tt|*|After Team Skull is disbanded}}, and [[Lillie]]{{sup/7|USUM}}
* [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]]: [[Mina]], Blue{{tt|*|First battle}}, [[Archer]]{{tt|*|After Team Rocket is disbanded}}, {{ga|Green}}, and Red
* {{g|Sword and Shield}}: [[Piers]]{{tt|*|During Champion tournaments}}, [[Leon]]{{tt|*|After losing his Championship title}}, [[Sordward]], [[Shielbert]], [[Peony]], and [[Opal]]{{tt|*|Galarian Star Tournament}}

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

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

Two trophies appear in the 3DS version of [[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U]], one of the Brawl character and one of the player characters from {{g|X and Y}}.

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

'''PAL''': ''Quiz time! What do Misty, Brock, Cynthia, Iris and Ash all have in common? That's right - they're all Pokémon Trainers! This Pokémon Master in the making is just the same. He fought to be the very best - like no one ever was - back in Super Smash Bros. Brawl. To smash them was his real test - to launch them was his cause.''

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

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

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

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

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

{{redirect|Trainer|other uses|Trainer (disambiguation)}}
[[File:Bandai Jumbo5 Peeled.jpg|thumb|250px|[[Generation I]] artwork of Pokémon Trainers flying on their Pokémon]]
A '''Pokémon Trainer''' (Japanese: '''ポケモントレーナー''' ''Pokémon Trainer'') is a [[Human|person]] who {{pkmn2|caught|catches}}, {{pkmn|training|trains}}, cares for, and {{pkmn|battle}}s with {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. The majority of people within the known [[Pokémon world]] are Trainers.

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

==Terminology==
This is officially written as "'''Trainer'''" starting with a capital letter. However, in some early official media, it was written in lowercase as "'''trainer'''" instead. For instance: ''"You've been finally granted your Pokémon '''trainer'''<nowiki/>'s license. Now it's time to to become the world's greatest Pokémon '''trainer'''!'' (written on the back of the boxes of {{game|Red and Blue|s}})

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

Pokémon Trainers come in all sorts of [[#Trainer class|classes]]: {{tc|Youngster}}s tend to stay close to home, and {{tc|Bug Catcher}}s swarm about the {{t|Bug}}-filled forests; {{tc|Hiker}}s traverse mountains and [[cave]]s, {{tc|Fisherman|Fishermen}} are rarely far from water, and {{tc|Ace Trainer}}s aspire to compete in the [[Pokémon League]]. A Trainer's class may reflect their [[Type expert|favorite type]], the areas they prefer, their technique, and their level of skill; however, even within each class, Trainers may vary greatly.
[[File:Ash Unova Pokédex.png|thumb|250px|A Pokédex and set of Poké Balls for a beginning Trainer in ''[[Pokémon the Series: Black & White]]'']]
In the games, Trainers tend to have Pokémon whose [[gender]] matches theirs.

Many towns have a [[Gym]] run by a strong and experienced Trainer known as a [[Gym Leader]]. Other Trainers may challenge a Gym Leader, and if the Gym Leader is defeated in battle, they award the challenger a [[Badge]]. However, in the [[Pokémon anime]], the Gym Leader may award the Trainer a Badge for other reasons, since the Badge is a symbol of the Trainer's skill. For example, {{Ash}} won several of his early Badges by refusing to take an unfair advantage or going out of his way to save a Gym, which proved himself as an exceptional Trainer outside of battle. In [[Alola]], each of the four islands has a [[Island kahuna|kahuna]] who may be challenged by traveling Trainers taking the [[island challenge]] after the completion of their island's trials.

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

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

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

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

===Trainer class===
'''Trainer classes''' are the types of [[non-player character|non-playable]] Pokémon Trainers that players can battle in all [[core series]] Pokémon games. They come in different varieties and sprites which describe their occupation, estimated age, and sometimes what Pokémon they train. For example, a {{tc|Psychic}} is a young adult with telekinetic powers who trains {{type|Psychic}} Pokémon.

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

Starting from [[Generation III]], the [[player character|player]] assumes the form of a generic Trainer class of their choice when data of this player is exchanged wirelessly or through [[record mixing]] to another core series game of the same generation.

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

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

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

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

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

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

'''PAL''': ''Quiz time! What do Misty, Brock, Cynthia, Iris and Ash all have in common? That's right - they're all Pokémon Trainers! This Pokémon Master in the making is just the same. He fought to be the very best - like no one ever was - back in Super Smash Bros. Brawl. To smash them was his real test - to launch them was his cause.''

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

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

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

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

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