== Romaji ==

I know that my edits were reverted way back when (because I guess y'all have your own way of spelling the Japanese names), but I just wanted to point out that the romaji for Seel in particular is ''completely'' wrong. It should be "pauwau", not "pawou". I'm a translator with 12 years of experience, so I'm hoping that you'll give me a little credit for at least trying to correct some of these. -[[User:Cygnus|Cygnus]] ([[User talk:Cygnus|talk]]) 04:14, 9 June 2014 (UTC)

== Chuang Yi names ==

Sorry, I have no authority to determinate this, but why are you adding the Singaporean names to the pages? All these names can be found in the character's own pages. I believe the only name listed should be VIZ's, since it's the latest translation, and is official. Otherwise we would have to include in every synopsis the mistranslated names of every character. That's just my point of view. [[User:Duke R|'''|) u |( e''']] [[User talk:Duke R|'''®''']] 00:42, 13 June 2012 (UTC)

== Tutoring ==

Your hard work has not gone unnoticed or unappreciated. Keep it up. -- '''[[User:MAGNEDETH|MAG]][[Special:Contributions/MAGNEDETH|NE]][[User talk:MAGNEDETH|DETH]]''' 04:52, 18 July 2012 (UTC)
:Thank you! Glad to help out in anyway I can. --[[User:Funktastic~!|It's Funktastic~!]] ([[User talk:Funktastic~!|talk]]) 04:54, 18 July 2012 (UTC)

== Your revert ==

I saw that you reverted my edits. If you're correct and it was fine the way it was, the list of Pokémon by wild held items has contradictory statements so I would just like to point that out. --[[User:Maddiesapphire|Maddiesapphire]] ([[User talk:Maddiesapphire|talk]]) 05:00, 18 July 2012 (UTC)
:Yeah, I was going by the Pokemon pages, not that page. One of them is wrong.--[[User:Funktastic~!|It's Funktastic~!]] ([[User talk:Funktastic~!|talk]]) 05:01, 18 July 2012 (UTC)

== Additional request ==

I'll tell you what I told Pattyman as well. Can you also change the itlistbod template to itemlist? The template's a bit different in that each version has its own parser as well. So, for instance, say it was in Gold, Silver, and Crystal, you would use <nowiki>{{itemlist|whatever item|G=yes|S=yes|C=yes}}</nowiki>. Thanks! You're doing a great job! =) [[User:Ht14|'''''ht''''']][[User talk:Ht14|''14'']] 14:57, 18 September 2012 (UTC)
:Forgot to mention one important thing. Exceptions would be Ruby (Ru), Sapphire (Sa), and Black (Bl). Otherwise, everything else is normal. [[User:Ht14|'''''ht''''']][[User talk:Ht14|''14'']] 15:39, 18 September 2012 (UTC)
::All right. I'll make sure to go back to the pages I've done and add that. --[[User:Funktastic~!|It's Funktastic~!]] ([[User talk:Funktastic~!|talk]]) 15:41, 18 September 2012 (UTC)

== Re: Second person ==

Hello,

:Then instead of deleting my post for Haxorus, you'd transform it (Instead of "Attack...down", you'd write "Whoever attacks its territory will be chased down by a fired up Haxorus."), am I wrong ?

== User Page ==

Hey, I'm new and all so please bear with me on this question. I don't even know if you're the right person to ask but... here goes.
I've been making edits but I still am unable to edit my userpage. Does that mean I'm still protected or blocked somehow? Nothing major, I'm still able to edit but I was just wondering if something was up. {{unsigned|Mrbrooks2013}}
:It just means you either haven't edited enough or you haven't had an account long enough, since as far as I can tell, you haven't had your userspace taken away. Since I'm not a staff member, I have no clue how many edits you need to make or how long you need to have an accout, but they don't give that information out anyway. I'd just recommend to keep up editing, and eventually, you should be able to edit the userspace. Hopefully I was helpful! --[[User:Funktastic~!|It's Funktastic~!]] ([[User talk:Funktastic~!|talk]]) 01:39, 25 October 2012 (UTC)
:Ha, yeah just joined yesterday. Alright, just wasn't entirely sure if after one edit you could edit your userpage or if you had to make several. Thanks! [[User:Mrbrooks2013|Mrbrooks2013]] ([[User talk:Mrbrooks2013|talk]]) 01:43, 25 October 2012 (UTC)
::No problem! And make sure not to resign posts since it messes up the time stamps(for example, now it looks like I responded to you before you ever posted). It's usually better to just leave the unsigned template there. --[[User:Funktastic~!|It's Funktastic~!]] ([[User talk:Funktastic~!|talk]]) 01:50, 25 October 2012 (UTC)

== PixarPerfect's Magnemite Coil ==

== Sorry ==

Sorry about I was trying to write in the start of the article. I didn't realise the mistake I made until you undid it. Sorry about the misunderstanding! Talk to me on my talk page.

Eatfish 01:43, 12 January 2013 (UTC)
:It's really no problem at all. Everyone makes silly mistakes some times. Just in case, always remember to use the preview button before you save an edit so you can make sure your edit is how you want it. Also, your signature doesn't have a link to your userpage(which is find since you don't have one) or your talk page(which is less fine) which is required. If you need help fixing it, I'd be happy to help. --[[User:Funktastic~!|It's Funktastic~!]] ([[User talk:Funktastic~!|talk]]) 01:53, 12 January 2013 (UTC)

oh no! how do I fix it!?
Eatfish 01:58, 12 January 2013 (UTC)
:If you sign using four tildes (<nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>, also appears in the character palette, and as http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/skins/common/images/button_sig.png ), it should be fine. If you've changed something in the signature section of your preferences, clear it out, and see if that fixes it. --[[User:Funktastic~!|It's Funktastic~!]] ([[User talk:Funktastic~!|talk]]) 02:06, 12 January 2013 (UTC)

:Don't worry. It's not that much of a problem. It'd probably be better to edit the whole page at once instead of sections if that's what you're doing.

Sorry about the Subway template. I noticed that I did something wrong but I don't know how to revert...

--[[User:Trainer HP | Pokémon Trainer HP]] - [[Grovyle]] Master! 15:53, 17 April 2013 (UTC)
:It's fine. If you ever want to revert something, clicking on "diff" in the recent changes, and at the top, it'll say "Latest revision as of -insert time and day here- (edit) (undo)". Clicking undo will revert to the last version of the article. --[[User:Funktastic~!|'''It's''' '''Funktastic~!''']][[User talk:Funktastic~!|''話してください'']] 15:59, 17 April 2013 (UTC)

I was wondering you can help me to understand what did I do wrong about sAsh Skecptial? I thought he was a massive powerhouse pokemon being the most use often battler of his team. Ash use him all almost every battle he goes through. Skeptial shown not to be a quitter at all no matter what. He is a massive powerhouse pokemon, samething with ash other pokemon beziul, charizard, snorlax, starptor, pignite, donphan, possible glaie, [[User:Catlove|Catlove]] ([[User talk:Catlove|talk]]) 03:20, 21 May 2013 (UTC)catlve
:It was, to be quite honest. written quite terribly. The grammar wasn't good, you signed the edit, even though it was an edit to the mainspace, and it needed to be something much more encyclopedic. --[[User:Funktastic~!|'''It's''' '''Funktastic~!''']][[User talk:Funktastic~!|''話してください'']] 03:32, 21 May 2013 (UTC)

i dont understand what was wroung with there are powerhouse pokemon {{unsigned|Catlove}}
:Instead of something like that, which sounds somewhat opinionated, some such as "Sceptile has defeated the majority of its opponents" (I have no clue if that is true or not, since I haven't watched the anime in years), or the like would be more appropriate. --[[User:Funktastic~!|'''It's''' '''Funktastic~!''']][[User talk:Funktastic~!|''話してください'']] 03:40, 21 May 2013 (UTC)

im confuse then he deafted Tobias darkrai, face other powerful oppements try do everythin gits possible for grass type pokemon will do. so its like ash strogest honnen pokemo he caught a massive powerhosue. charizard as well massive powerhouse, pignite powerhouse, donpahn powerhosue, unfuzant powerhosue deafted two skyla pokemon and tried to face evolved form unfuzant male, buziul stregth was amzin g to battle many oppemnets the first time to meet and battle fourth league member and ash starptor became stronger fully eloved form as well. {{unsigned|Catlove}}
:I'm going to be quite blunt. I can barely understand what you're saying because of your grammar. However, my point is that instead of saying "-Pokemon's name- is a powerhouse", instead it should be shown why it should be considered a powerhouse, such as defeating powerful Pokemon like Darkrai. 
:Also, please remember to sign your posts.--[[User:Funktastic~!|'''It's''' '''Funktastic~!''']][[User talk:Funktastic~!|''話してください'']] 03:59, 21 May 2013 (UTC)

i did. i said skeptial battle many pokemon for ash does like 100% great battler and use to battle rare pokemon like darkrai, latios, dewoxis, regirock and other pokemon in gym battles and kanto front tear, chrizard is strongest pokemon in his party use many battles as charmander as well, beziul is powerhouse he battle many pokemon before ash met him and battle fourth league in battle to show his strength, starptor is a powerhouse pokemon strong fighter to take big opponent, snorlax is powerhouse fighting gary pokemon and fighting type pokemon as well. POkemon pignite became more powerful to battle fully evolved form pignite and heatmor, battle hyderigon, ferrothon, and samurott as well but loss to the water type being to weak of damage it tookbut great endurance and ash unfuzant as tranquail battle great against skyla pokemon in gym battle took on three battle brave and fast for her male unfuzant but return to take a brake then battle against her strongest pokemon swanna took a lot of damage then evolved into unfuzant surpass swanna skills in battle . all the proof you need{{unsigned|Catlove}}
:OK? I don't particularly care whether Sceptile is strong or not. I'm saying that showing that it's strong by explaining what it has done ''in the article'' is what should be done instead of just saying "it's a powerhouse". However, should you decide to add anything to ''any'' articles, you need to work on your spelling and grammar. That means making sure to spell Sceptile as Sceptile, and the like. Otherwise anything you add to articles will likely be quickly deleted. --[[User:Funktastic~!|'''It's''' '''Funktastic~!''']][[User talk:Funktastic~!|''話してください'']] 05:09, 21 May 2013 (UTC)

Well can you help the way you make it sound like im stupid please help to like show that there powerhouse please i need help please help me please i love pokemon i know these pokemon of ash is powerhosue please help me please {{unsigned|Catlove}}

'''Eevee''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''イーブイ''' ''Eievui'') is a {{type|Normal}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolve]]s into one of [[Eeveelution|eight different Pokémon]] through various methods:
*{{p|Vaporeon}} when exposed to a {{evostone|Water Stone}}.
*{{p|Jolteon}} when exposed to a {{evostone|Thunderstone}}.
*{{p|Flareon}} when exposed to a {{evostone|Fire Stone}}.
*{{p|Espeon}} when leveled up with high [[friendship]] during the [[time|daytime]], including [[time|morning]] ([[Generation II]] onward, excludes areas with a [[Moss Rock|Moss]] or [[Ice Rock]]), or in the presence of a [[Sun and Moon Shards|Sun Shard]].
*{{p|Umbreon}} when leveled up with high [[friendship]] during the [[time|nighttime]] ([[Generation II]] onward, excludes areas with a [[Moss Rock|Moss]] or [[Ice Rock]]), or in the presence of a [[Sun and Moon Shards|Moon Shard]].
*{{p|Leafeon}} when leveled up near a [[Moss Rock]] ([[Generation IV]] onward).
*{{p|Glaceon}} when leveled up near an [[Ice Rock]] ([[Generation IV]] onward).
*{{p|Sylveon}} with an unknown evolution method ([[Generation VI]] onwards).

Eevee is the [[starter Pokémon]] for the main character of [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]] and [[Pokémon Conquest]]. It is also the starter Pokémon for the [[rival]] in {{game|Yellow}}, although [[Professor Oak]] originally intended to give it to the {{player}}.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Eevee is a mammalian creature with brown fur, a bushy tail that has a cream-colored tip, and a large furry collar that is also cream-colored. It has {{DL|List of Pokémon by body style|Pokémon with a quadruped body|four short, feline-like legs}} with three small toes on each foot. Eevee has brown eyes, long pointed ears, and pink paw pads. It has traits of {{wp|rabbit}}s, {{wp|Miacid}}s, {{wp|fox}}es, {{wp|dog}}s, and {{wp|cat}}s.

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

===Special abilities===
Most of Eevee's offensive moves are {{type|Normal}} attacks such as {{m|Tackle}} and {{m|Quick Attack}}, but it can also {{m|bite}} its opponents and use {{m|Shadow Ball}}. However, it is unique in that it is unable to learn most other elemental attacks that other Normal types can utilize, at least not in its current state. Eevee can also learn supportive moves such as {{m|Helping Hand}} and {{m|Wish}}. Eevee is one of few Pokémon that can learn {{m|Trump Card}}. Eevee is said to have an irregularly shaped genetic structure, enabling it to evolve into multiple Pokémon.

===Behavior===
Eevee's behavior can be affected by its surroundings. Eventually, with enough alteration, the Eevee may evolve to better suit its surroundings. According to [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon]], Eevee has a naive personality, meaning childlike, playful, and friendly. In the anime, Eevee don't appear to have any characteristic quirks, but are usually affectionate, loyal, and energetic Pokémon.

===Habitat===
[[File:Urban Habitat.png|thumb|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Urban Pokémon}}]]
Eevee are quite rare in the wild. They sometimes live near cities and towns. It is possible for Eevee to live almost anywhere, and they may evolve to suit their surroundings. It was first documented in [[Kanto]], but has been seen in [[Johto]], [[Sinnoh]] and [[Unova]].

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

==In the anime==
===Major appearances===
====[[May's Glaceon|May's Eevee]]====
[[File:Virgil Eevee.png|250px|thumb|Eevee in the anime]]
[[File:May Eevee Egg.png|thumb|220px|right|Eevee {{pkmn|Egg}} in the anime]]
{{an|May}} received an {{pkmn|Egg}} from a Daycare Worker in ''[[AG150|May's Egg-Cellent Adventure]]''. The Egg hatched into an Eevee in ''[[AG157|Time-Warp Heals All Wounds]]'', and evolved into {{p|Glaceon}} before May met back up with the group in ''[[DP076|A Full Course Tag Battle!]]''.

====[[Gary's Umbreon|Gary's Eevee]]====
{{an|Gary}}'s Eevee debuted in ''[[EP116|The Rivalry Revival]]'', defeating [[Ash's Pikachu]]. It evolved into an {{p|Umbreon}} some time before ''[[EP171|Power Play]]''.

====[[Sakura's Espeon|Sakura's Eevee]]====
[[Sakura]] had an {{TP|Sakura|Eevee}} in ''[[EP183|Trouble's Brewing]]''. By the time {{Ash}} and co. met up with Sakura again in ''[[EP226|Espeon, Not Included]]'', her Eevee had evolved into an {{p|Espeon}}.

====Other====
Eevee first appeared in ''[[EP040|The Battling Eevee Brothers]]''. A little boy named Mikey was hiding the Evolution Pokémon from his three older [[Eevee brothers|brothers]] because they wanted him to evolve it. However, when Mikey's Eevee single-handedly defeated {{TRT}}, Sparky, Rainer, and Pyro were able to accept the fact that Mikey wanted to keep his Eevee just the way it is.

An Eevee appeared in ''[[DP145|A Rivalry to Gible On!]]''.

Two Eevee appeared in ''[[DP174|Last Call, First Round!]]'', under the ownership of [[Ursula]]. Both of them evolved during her performance, into a Vaporeon and a Flareon.

An Eevee is set to appear in [[BW135]] alongside Vaporeon, Jolteon and Flareon.

===Minor appearances===
Eevee appeared in a picture in ''[[EP055|Pokémon Paparazzi]]''.

An Eevee made a brief appearance in ''[[EP150|Hour of the Houndour]]''.

In ''[[SS008|Oaknapped]]'', [[Ritchie]] consulted {{an|Professor Oak}} on advice on what evolved form is best for his Eevee. However this was only mentioned in the dub and it is unknown whether he owns an Eevee in the Japanese version.

==In the manga==
[[File:Mikey Eevee EToP.png|thumb|right|200px|Mikey's Eevee in The Electric Tale of Pikachu]]
===In the Electric Tale of Pikachu manga===
Like in the {{pkmn|anime}}, [[Mikey]] owns an Eevee in the [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]] manga. Mikey and his Eevee appear in the chapter ''[[ET06|To Evolve or Not to Evolve, That is the Question!]]''.

===In the Magical Pokémon Journey manga===
{{main|Coconut's Eevee}}
{{main|Lu}}
An Eevee is owned by [[Coconut]] in [[Magical Pokémon Journey]]. This Eevee is a smart Pokémon who is very loyal to Coconut.

Later in the series, another Eevee named [[Lu]] appears. Coconut's Eevee falls in love with Lu, who confesses her own love to Eevee before moving away.

===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
{{main|Vee}}
An Eevee is seen as a Pokémon experimented on by [[Team Rocket]], in their tests to attempt merging {{p|Articuno}}, {{p|Zapdos}}, and {{p|Moltres}} into [[Thu-Fi-Zer|a single Pokémon]]. The experiments gave Eevee the characteristic of being able to mutate into three of its evolved forms, namely {{p|Vaporeon}}, {{p|Jolteon}}, and {{p|Flareon}} and revert, though it still requires the energies of an [[evolutionary stone]]. {{adv|Red}} eventually captures this Eevee as a prerequisite for challenging [[Erika]]. When it evolved into Espeon, however, it lost its mutation ability and became unable to revert to its base form.

Another Eevee was seen under the ownership of [[Karen]], during her childhood as one of the children captured by the [[Masked Man]]. It is presumed that this Eevee eventually evolves into her {{p|Umbreon}}, which she used to fight {{adv|Green}}.

===In the Pokémon Pocket Monsters manga===
An Eevee is seen with {{OBP|Red|Pocket Monsters}} during the curry cooking competition that went on in ''[[PM027|Curry Showdown! Which is the Most Delicious?]]''.

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

*{{TFG|Next Quest}}: {{TFG ID|Next Quest|Eevee|10}}

==Other appearances==

==Trivia==
* In early English promotional material for [[Pokémon Red and Green beta|Pokémon Red and Blue]], Eevee was called "Eon", the suffix of all the evolutions of Eevee. This in turn is a shortening of "evolution".
* The fanmade term to describe the evolutions of Eevee, [[Eeveelution]]s, was made official after its use in the strategy guide for [[Pokémon Stadium 2]], followed by {{TCG|Eeveelution|a TCG Theme Deck}}.
* In {{ga|Pokémon Ranger}}, all of Eevee's evolutions up to the third generation can be captured; however, Eevee cannot even be found at all. This was changed in [[Pokémon Ranger: Shadows of Almia]].
* Eevee's name is a {{wp|palindrome}}; it shares this distinction with {{p|Girafarig}}, {{p|Ho-Oh}} and {{p|Alomomola}}.
* Despite the fact that {{an|May}}, {{Gary}} and [[Sakura]] each owned an Eevee that went on to evolve, Eevee was never seen evolving on screen in the anime until ''[[DP174|Last Call — First Round!]]'' when [[Ursula]] evolved her two Eevee into {{p|Flareon}} and {{p|Vaporeon}} during a Contest appeal, over thirteen years into the series.
* Eevee and {{p|Feebas}} are the only Pokémon that can evolve into a single stage through multiple methods in the [[version|main series]]. Feebas can evolve into {{p|Milotic}} when leveled up with maximum [[Beauty Contest|Beauty]] or when traded while holding the [[Prism Scale]]; Eevee can evolve into {{p|Espeon}} or {{p|Umbreon}} when leveled up with maximum [[friendship]] during the day or night, respectively, or via [[Sun Shard]] or [[Moon Shard]], respectively.
** However, some Pokémon evolve through abnormal means in the [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon]] series, including four of Eevee's evolutions.
***In the [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon]] series, Eevee evolves using the [[Sun Ribbon]], or [[Lunar Ribbon]] with at least 1 star of IQ, a [[Mossy Rock]], or a [[Frozen Rock]] into its respective evolutions.
* It is impossible for Eevee to evolve into Leafeon and Glaceon in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} since neither Johto nor Kanto has an [[Ice Rock]] or a [[Moss Rock]].
* Despite Eevee being obtainable before the [[Pokémon League]] in [[Pokémon Black and White Versions 2]], it can not evolve into Leafeon or Glaceon until after the Elite Four is defeated. This is because [[Twist Mountain]] and [[Pinwheel Forest]] are inaccessible.
* Eevee is the only Pokémon that is a starter in more than one different game series (excluding remakes) being the starter in {{v|Yellow}} and [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]]. It is also one of many starters in [[Pokémon Conquest]].
* Eevee has the most evolutions of any Pokémon and is the only Pokémon which has more than three evolutions.

===Origin===
Eevee shares traits with {{wp|fox}}es, more specifically the {{wp|Fennec fox}}, {{wp|dog}}s and {{wp|cat}}s. It is possibly based on the folklore of {{wp|Japanese raccoon dog|Tanuki}} (''Nyctereutes procyonoides viverrinus''), who is said to be able to transform and is the alternative name for the {{wp|Japanese raccoon dog}}.

It may also be based on the concept of dog breeding and the multitude of variations that arose from it. It may also be based on the fox's ability to adapt to extreme environments, like the {{wp|Fennec Fox|desert fox}} and the {{wp|arctic fox}}.

====Name origin====
Eevee and Eievui are the pronunciations of ''E-V'', the first two letters in the word [[evolution]].

'''Tauros''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ケンタロス''' ''Kentauros'') is a {{type|Normal}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}.

He is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon.

==Biology==

===Physiology===
Tauros are {{DL|List of Pokémon by body style|Pokémon with a quadruped body|quadruped}}, bovine Pokémon. They are covered in light brown fur, with a thick darker brown mane around the neck. Their nose is also dark brown. They have a pair of curved, gray horns atop their head, and three silver studs on their forehead. Each of their three black tails has a tuft of fur on the end, and there is a single gray hoof on each foot.

====Gender differences====
Tauros is a male-only species. Many fans consider its female counterpart to be {{p|Miltank}}, despite the fact that Miltank was introduced [[Generation II|a generation later]]. It is speculated that Miltank was created solely to be the "female version" of Tauros. However, Miltank cannot produce Tauros Eggs, unlike {{p|Illumise}} and {{p|Nidoran♀}}, who can produce Eggs of their male counterparts.

===Special abilities===
Tauros are violent, rowdy Pokémon that are able to {{m|Tail Whip|whip}} themselves into a frenzy using their three-pronged tail. They are unable to stop themselves once they charge. However, they can only charge in a straight line. Like most {{t|Normal}} types, Tauros can learn many different types of attacks.

===Behavior===
Tauros are rowdy Pokémon; once they've started a rampage they will not stop until they hit something. They increase their will to fight by whipping themselves with their three tails. They live and travel in herds with the herd's protector probably leading the others. Tauros are also known to lock horns with each other in battle, and they usually take pride in their battle-scarred horns. When there are no opponents to battle, Tauros will charge at trees to satisfy their need for a challenge and calm themselves.

===Habitat===
[[File:Grassland Habitat.png|thumb|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Grassland Pokémon}}]]
Tauros are rarely found in the wild, but can be found near farming communities in [[Johto]] and [[Sinnoh]]. They have also been introduced to the {{safari|Kanto}}, and can be found near the [[Johto Safari Zone]].

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}
Like other real-life bovines, Tauros graze on grass.

==Trivia==
* Tauros forms a notable bug in [[Pokémon Play It!]], a game largely based on the Trading Card Game. Once the "Tauros" card appears, either in the player's own deck or that of the digital opponent, the game will shut down or freeze the computer.
* Tauros is believed by some to be the male counterpart of {{p|Miltank}}, but Miltank is incapable of producing Tauros Eggs. However, a Tauros can be the father of a Miltank. It shares this trait with {{p|Braviary}} and {{p|Mandibuzz}}.

===Origin===
Tauros is based on the constellation {{wp|Taurus (constellation)|Taurus}}, the Bull. It is also based on a {{wp|Cattle|bull}} or a {{wp|bison}}. Its tail is based on a {{wp|whip}}, more specifically the {{wp|cat o' nine tails}}.

====Name origin====
Tauros is an abbreviation of its Japanese name, Kentauros. It is worth noting that ''Taurus'', {{wp|Latin}} for ''bull'' (which comes from the {{wp|Greek language|Greek}} "tauros"), is also the name of a {{wp|Taurus (constellation)|constellation}}. Tauros could also be a corruption of ''Toro'' ({{wp|Spanish language|Spanish}} for ''bull'').

Kentauros is derived from Japanese ケンタウロス ''{{wp|centaur}}'', which itself derives from Greek Κένταυρος. It could also be a corruption of ''{{wp|Centaurus}}'', a large south-sky constellation representing a centaur.

'''Seel''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''パウワウ''' ''Pawou'') is a {{type|Water}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolve]]s into {{p|Dewgong}} starting at [[level]] 34.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
The horn on Seel's head is exceptionally hard, due to it being made of toughened bone. Seel has a furry body that appears white, two {{DL|List of Pokémon by body style| Pokémon with fins|flippers instead of feet}}, a tan-colored muzzle with a small black nose, small tusks, round eyes, and a tongue that is often seen outside of Seel's mouth. It lives in the frigid waters of the arctic, surviving because of its {{a|Thick Fat|thick blubber}}. Its tail resembles a spout of water.

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

===Special abilities===
This hide of fat looks like it is covered with snow-white fur from a distance, but, when magnified, the fur is actually a very light blue that gives it a seawater tinge whilst swimming. Seel's streamlined, curving body helps it to effortlessly swim through the cold seas, and its flippers propel it with ease. The flippers can also pull its body onto shore, but can only support its weight for a short time. Seel uses its horn to puncture ice so it can breathe. Its coarse hair can trap water and air to conserve body heat.

===Behavior===
The horn on the tip of Seel's head is used to chip away ice at the surface of the sea to create breathing holes. The small tusks can chip away at the ice too, and sometimes they engage in territorial fights where these tusks can be applied as weapons.

During the day, Seel can usually be spotted in shallow seas asleep on the seabed; however, it is additionally active during the evening hours, when it hunts and pursues prey effortlessly through the water. The colder the sea, the more active it is. When swimming, its nostrils close tightly when it swims. Seel only comes on land to give birth or socialize with others of its kind - it is exceptionally clumsy on land.

===Habitat===
[[File:Sea Habitat.png|thumb|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Sea Pokémon}}]]
Seel loves to live in extremely cold polar seas, which are often 40 degrees below 0. The frigid climate it lives in are full of ice floes. It exceptionally loves iceberg-filled oceans, where herds of Seel converge to play and socialize. It is found in [[Kanto]], [[Johto]], [[Sinnoh]], and [[Unova]].

===Diet===

==Trivia==
* Seel can be seen as a parallel to {{p|Spheal}}. Seel is exclusive to [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Versions|Pokémon Diamond]], while Spheal is exclusive to [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Versions|Pokémon Pearl]], with both found in the same locations in their respective versions. Additionally, both can only be obtained by breeding their evolved forms in {{game|Platinum}}. Both Pokémon also appear to be based on {{wp|Pinniped}}s.

===Origin===
Seel is based on seal pups, bearing resemblance to a newborn {{wp|harp seal}}. The horn on the top of Seel's head may also be loosely based on the {{wp|narwhal}}.

====Name origin====
Seel is a corruption of the sea creature ''{{wp|seal (animal)|seal}}''.

Pawou may come from the onomatopoeia of a seal bark.

'''Seel''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''パウワウ''' ''Pawou'') is a {{type|Water}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolve]]s into {{p|Dewgong}} starting at [[level]] 34.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
The horn on Seel's head is exceptionally hard, due to it being made of toughened bone. Seel has a furry body that appears white, two {{DL|List of Pokémon by body style| Pokémon with fins|flippers instead of feet}}, a tan-colored muzzle with a small black nose, small tusks, round eyes, and a tongue that is often seen outside of Seel's mouth. It lives in the frigid waters of the arctic, surviving because of its {{a|Thick Fat|thick blubber}}. Its tail resembles a spout of water.

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

===Special abilities===
This hide of fat looks like it is covered with snow-white fur from a distance, but, when magnified, the fur is actually a very light blue that gives it a seawater tinge whilst swimming. Seel's streamlined, curving body helps it to effortlessly swim through the cold seas, and its flippers propel it with ease. The flippers can also pull its body onto shore, but can only support its weight for a short time. Seel uses its horn to puncture ice so it can breathe. Its coarse hair can trap water and air to conserve body heat.

===Behavior===
The horn on the tip of Seel's head is used to chip away ice at the surface of the sea to create breathing holes. The small tusks can chip away at the ice too, and sometimes they engage in territorial fights where these tusks can be applied as weapons.

During the day, Seel can usually be spotted in shallow seas asleep on the seabed; however, it is additionally active during the evening hours, when it hunts and pursues prey effortlessly through the water. The colder the sea, the more active it is. When swimming, its nostrils close tightly when it swims. Seel only comes on land to give birth or socialize with others of its kind - it is exceptionally clumsy on land.

===Habitat===
[[File:Sea Habitat.png|thumb|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Sea Pokémon}}]]
Seel loves to live in extremely cold polar seas, which are often 40 degrees below 0. The frigid climate it lives in are full of ice floes. It exceptionally loves iceberg-filled oceans, where herds of Seel converge to play and socialize. It is found in [[Kanto]], [[Johto]], [[Sinnoh]], and [[Unova]].

===Diet===

==Trivia==
* Seel can be seen as a parallel to {{p|Spheal}}. Seel is exclusive to [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Versions|Pokémon Diamond]], while Spheal is exclusive to [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Versions|Pokémon Pearl]], with both found in the same locations in their respective versions. Additionally, both can only be obtained by breeding their evolved forms in {{game|Platinum}}. Both Pokémon also appear to be based on {{wp|Pinniped}}s.

===Origin===
Seel is based on seal pups, bearing resemblance to a newborn {{wp|harp seal}}. The horn on the top of Seel's head may also be loosely based on the {{wp|narwhal}}.

====Name origin====
Seel is a corruption of the sea creature ''{{wp|seal (animal)|seal}}''.

Pawou may come from the onomatopoeia of a seal bark.

'''Pinsir''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''カイロス''' ''Kailios'') is a {{type|Bug}} Pokémon.

It is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Pinsir is a {{DL|List of Pokémon by body style|Pokémon with a bipedal, tailless form|bipedal}} Pokémon that has a brown body with a large pair of white horns or pincers that are dotted with small spikes. Pinsir has short legs with three toes each and skinny, three-clawed arms. Its mouth has long, flat teeth that are arranged horizontally rather than vertically. Pinsir is cold-blooded.

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

===Special abilities===
Pinsir's horns/pincers have enough crushing power to shatter thick logs and allow it to lift things twice its own weight. Its horns are very flexible, and are capable of being launched downwards.

===Behavior===
Because this Pokémon hates the cold, it digs itself underground burrows that it can sleep in during frigid nights. They will also sleep in treetops when it is cold, so that they are well hidden. If it is exposed to cold for any extended period of time, it will become sluggish and lethargic, and will eventually be unable to move at all. In battle, Pinsir are violent Pokémon, using their thorny antlers to grip at prey. Pinsir will attempt to guillotine captured prey, but will toss prey that cannot be crushed.

===Habitat===
[[File:Forest Habitat.png|thumb|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Forest Pokémon}}]]
This Pokémon lives in temperate jungles and forests, making its home in and around the trees, sleeping usually hidden underground amongst the roots to ward of the cold of night. Pinsir have also been known to sleep on treetops and on canopies when weather is permitting. Pinsir is typically a rarity of the forest, but it has been imported into [[Kanto]]’s {{safari|Kanto}} and the [[National Park]] of [[Johto]] as a result of [[Bug-Catching Contest]]s. The forests of [[Sinnoh]] and [[Unova]] also offer good habitats for Pinsir.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

Much like {{p|Heracross}}, Pinsir seem to enjoy tree sap. As a result they often compete with Heracross over trees with the best sap. Pinsir also eats prey, gripping it with its pincers until the prey is torn in half.

==In the anime==
[[File:Samurai Pinsir.png|213px|thumb|right|Pinsir in the anime]]
===Major appearances===
Pinsir first appeared in ''[[EP004|Challenge of the Samurai]]''. [[Samurai]] used it to battle against {{Ash}}. It easily defeated [[Ash's Pidgeotto]], but lost to his {{AP|Metapod}}

In ''[[EP119|A Sappy Ending]]'', Pinsir were being driven into a forest that was {{p|Heracross}}'s territory because {{TRT}} was stealing the sap from the trees that were in their territory.

===Minor appearances===
At the beginning of ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'', Raymond uses a Pinsir to battle [[Ash's Pikachu]], alongside his {{p|Golem}} and {{p|Venomoth}}. All three of Raymond's Pokémon are defeated by Pikachu.

A Pinsir appeared in ''[[EP047|A Chansey Operation]]'', where it was one of the injured Pokémon brought to the clinic.

A Pinsir was also owned by a demolition crew (which was changed into a construction crew due to [[Ritchie]] changing the past) in ''[[SS013|Celebi and Joy]]''.

{{OBP|Anthony|AG122}} uses his {{p|Swalot}} and Pinsir against [[May's Combusken]] and {{TP|May|Bulbasaur}} in the [[Contest Battle|Battle Round]] of the [[Hoenn Grand Festival]] in ''[[AG123|Rhapsody in Drew]]''.

Pinsir makes a cameo in ''[[AG135|Numero Uno Articuno]]'' as a Pokémon belonging to {{FB|Factory Head|Noland}}.

[[Howie]], a [[character of the day]] in ''[[AG176|The Ole' Berate and Switch]]'', has a Pinsir. [[Ash's Corphish]] battles against this Pinsir during a bogus competition that {{TRT}} creates.

At the beginning of ''[[M09|Pokémon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea]]'', [[The Phantom]] uses a Pinsir alongside {{p|Parasect}} to attack [[Jack Walker]].

A Pinsir made a brief cameo in ''[[M11|Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]''.

After making many appearances that were not worth noting, Pinsir made another major appearance as one of the rental Pokémon {{adv|Emerald}} used in the {{ho|Battle Factory}} in his challenge against {{FB|Factory Head|Noland}}, defeating the Factory Head's {{p|Mawile}} before losing to his {{p|Golem}}'s {{m|Rock Slide}}.

===NPC appearances===
* {{g|Stadium 2}}: Pinsir stars in a mini-game alongside {{p|Scyther}} called "Clear Cut Challenge." Each player chops a falling log for each round of the game.

==Trivia==
* Pinsir can be seen as a parallel to {{p|Scyther}}. Both of them are {{type|Bug}} {{cat|Generation I Pokémon}}. Pinsir is exclusive to {{game3|Red and Blue|Blue|s}}, {{game3|FireRed and LeafGreen|LeafGreen|s}} and {{game3|Diamond and Pearl|Pearl|s}}, while Scyther is exclusive to {{game3|Red and Blue|Red|s}}, {{game3|FireRed and LeafGreen|FireRed|s}} and {{game3|Diamond and Pearl|Diamond|s}}.
** Additionally, Pinsir can also be seen as a counterpart to {{p|Heracross}}. Both are {{type|Bug}} Pokémon based on beetles who lack an evolutionary family. Unlike Heracross, Pinsir is not part {{type|Fighting}}, however, it learns several Fighting-type moves by leveling up. Also, in [[Pokémon Black and White Versions 2|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2]], they are [[version exclusives]] in the wild (although both can be found in [[Hidden Grotto]]s in both versions).

===Origin===
It is based on a {{wp|stag beetle}}, possibly the {{wp|Prosopocoilus inclinatus}}, a popular beetle used in {{wp|insect fighting}}.

====Name origin====
Pinsir is a corruption of ''pincer'', referring to the claws on its head. It could also involve the title ''sir''.

Kailios may be a combination of the Greek letter ''{{wp|Chi (letter)|Χ}}'' (カイ ''kai'') and ''cross'' (referring to its {{m|X-Scissor|scissor-like horns}}). Alternatively, it may be a combination of 傀 ''kai'' (large), 魁偉 ''kaii'' (brawny), or 刈 ''kai'' (cut) combined with κοριός ''korios'' ({{wp|Greek language|Greek}} for ''bug'').

OPINIONS NEEDED: Male or female pronouns for Akari? [[User:Ketsuban|Ketsuban]] 22:25, 30 January 2008 (UTC)
* Male pronouns only would be appropriate. And while we're on the subject, why is Akari listed under the category of female characters instead of male? Please change this. [[User:Cygnus|Cygnus]] 09:44, 19 May 2011 (UTC)

==Article title==
Where in the world does the word "PokéWake" come from? [[User:Zurqoxn|Zurqoxn]] 23:01, 30 January 2008 (UTC)

:I believe it's from ''Pokémon Card Ni Natta Wake'', the rough Japanese that translates into the title we use here. --[[User:Shiningpikablu252|Shiningpikablu252]] 23:25, 30 January 2008 (UTC)

::Oh, OK. I was pronouncing "wake" as English. Someone should put that Japanese in the [[How I Became a Pokémon Card]] article. [[User:Zurqoxn|Zurqoxn]] 00:07, 31 January 2008 (UTC)
:::Due to the manga name switch to English, shouldn't this be moved? [[User:CuboneKing|Cu]][[User talk:CuboneKing|bo]][[Special:Contributions/CuboneKing|ne]][[Cubone (Pokémon)|King]] 01:54, 7 May 2010 (UTC)

::::Well, the full English title translation is quite a bit unwieldy. Combine that with the fact that the manga in question has never officially been translated into English, I have doubts that your idea'll fly. Even if that idea were to fly, there'd have to be an agreement on what disambiguating phrase to use before any move would be able to take place. --[[User:Shiningpikablu252|Shiningpikablu252]] 02:26, 7 May 2010 (UTC)
:::::Well, my opinion is that the page stays as is. The manga is not out in English and the translated name is a bit long. Anyways, let's keep it as is. --[[Special:Contributions/CoolPikachu!|'''☆''']][[User:CoolPikachu!|'''Cool''']][[User talk:CoolPikachu!|'''ピカチュウ!''']] 02:29, 7 May 2010 (UTC)
