The '''Silver Feather''' (Japanese: '''ぎんいろのはね''' ''Silver Feather''), called '''Silver Wing''' prior to {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}, is a [[Key Item]] introduced in [[Generation II]]. It is a {{cat|Legendary artifacts|legendary artifact}} that is associated with {{p|Lugia}}.

==In the core series games==
===Effect===
The Silver Wing allows the {{player}} to a encounter a wild {{p|Lugia}} at [[Whirl Islands]] B2F{{sup/2|GSC}} or B3F{{sup/4|HGSS}} if the player has entered the cave through the northeastern island.

====Generation II====
In [[Generation II]], although it is possible to store the Silver Wing in the [[PC]], Lugia will only appear if the Silver Wing is currently in the [[Bag]]. If the player defeats or runs away from Lugia, it will be permanently unavailable in the current game.

====Generation IV====
In Pokémon SoulSilver, both the Silver Wing and [[Tidal Bell]] are required to summon Lugia. In Pokémon HeartGold, only the Silver Wing is required.

In both Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, if the player defeats or runs away from Lugia, it will reappear the next time the player enters the [[Hall of Fame]].

==In the spin-off games==
===Pokémon Pokopia===
In {{g|Pokopia}}, {{p|Lugia}} will occasionally appear in the sky, and after a short period of time, it will drop a Silver Feather, which can be collected after the player uses {{m|Cut}} to dispel the strong winds surrounding the feather. Silver Feathers can be given to Pokémon with the {{OBP|Collect|specialty}} [[Specialty]] in exchange for various items. Additionally, five Silver Feathers can be used alongside five ingots of [[Rare Pokémetal]] to craft a [[Tidal Bell]].

==In animation==
[[File:Silver Wing anime.png|thumb|250px|A Silver Wing in {{aniseries|GS}}]]
===''Pokémon the Series''===
===={{aniseries|GS}}====
The Silver Wing appeared in several episodes in the [[Whirl Islands]]. In ''[[EP220|The Mystery is History]]'', {{jo|Luka}} rescued {{OBP|Silver|Lugia}} from [[Cassidy]] and [[Butch]], and explained that she was trying to discover information about a Silver Wing that she got from her great-grandfather, which she now keeps inside a locket. When Silver's parent appeared from the ocean, her Silver Wing began to glow a violent red. When it finally began to trust them and calmed down, the glowing stopped. When everyone went swimming with Silver and its parent, she realized the Silver Wing is a feather from Lugia, and became relieved to have finally unlocked its secret.

On [[Silver Rock Isle]], there is a tale that a crew caught in a storm was rescued by a wild Lugia. From that day forward, the citizens on the island have glorified the Silver Wing, putting it on various trinkets, jewelry, souvenirs, etc.

===={{aniseries|RS}}====
Another Silver Wing appeared in ''[[AG112|Showdown At Linoone]]'' as one of the items {{DL|Kimmy Shoney|Tokin}} had {{a|Pickup|picked up}}.
{{-}}

==In the manga==
[[File:Rainbow Wing Silver Wing Adventures.png|thumb|160px|A Silver and Rainbow Wing in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
===Pokémon Adventures===
{{Spoilers}}
As seen in ''[[PS268|The Escape]]'', {{adv|Green}} stole a Rainbow Wing and a Silver Wing from the [[Masked Man]] when she and {{adv|Silver}} escaped from him, later hiding both feathers in {{adv|Yellow}}'s straw hat.

===={{MangaArc|Yellow}}====
The Silver and Rainbow Wings were seen on Yellow's straw hat. However, they simply appeared to be regular feathers, and their true nature was not revealed until the next arc.

===={{MangaArc|Gold, Silver & Crystal}}====
The Rainbow Wing and Silver Wing were revealed to be on Yellow's hat. These artifacts were used to free {{adv|Gold}} from the gap of time inside the [[Ilex Forest shrine]] where the Masked Man had trapped him in.

The Masked Man also used a Rainbow Wing and a Silver Wing directly collected from their respective Legendary Pokémon in order to create a [[GS Ball]]. Only a capture net created from these two feathers could contain {{adv|Celebi}} and allow its holder to [[time travel|travel through time]] without suffering its negative side effects.

[[File:Silver Wing Golden Boys.png|thumb|200px|A Silver Wing in [[Pokémon Gold & Silver: The Golden Boys]]]]

===Pokémon Gold & Silver: The Golden Boys===
A Silver Wing first appeared in ''[[GB19|The Truth About The Mysterious Whirl Islands!!]]'', under the possession of a {{pkmn2|talking}} {{p|Slowking}} living at the [[Whirl Islands]]. When Lugia saw {{GnB|Gold}} as a worthy challenger for it, it created a gust of wind that blew the Silver Wing away from Slowking and into Gold's hand.

In ''[[GB23|Let's Fight For The Future!!]]'', when the destructive [[Black Tyranitar]] attempted to leap over sea from {{ci|Cianwood}} to {{ci|Olivine}}, Gold used the Silver Wing to call Lugia for help. Responding to Gold's plea, Lugia intercepted the Black Tyranitar as it was moving over the Whirl Islands, blasting it back to Cianwood.
{{-}}

==Trivia==
* For unknown reasons, the Silver Wing's sprite was changed in [[Generation V]], despite it not being used in that generation or any since.
* Silver Wing's name was changed to Silver Feather in {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}, despite the item being unobtainable and never mentioned in these games. The item later became accessible with this name in the {{Spin-off games|spin-off game}} [[Pokémon Pokopia]].
* Similar to some other unused Key Items in [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire]], such as the [[Jade Orb]] or [[Rainbow Feather|Rainbow Wing]], if this item is [[Cheating|hacked]] into the [[Bag]], it will have the property of being able to be given and taken from a Pokémon as a [[held item]]. It does not have any effect when held, though.

Daniel Carrero: /* Sprite direction */

[[File:Wild double battle BW.png|thumb|220px|A [[Double Battle]] in Black and White, featuring multiple Pokémon sprites]]
'''Pokémon sprites''' are 2D images of [[Pokémon (species)|Pokémon species]] in the {{pkmn|games}}.

==In the core series games==
In Generations I to V, all available Pokémon species have at least one front and one back sprite, as seen in [[Pokémon battle]]s. Starting in [[Generation VI]], all front and back sprites are replaced by 3D renders instead.

===Sprite direction===

A Pokémon's front sprite may be flipped left or right depending on the context.

===Sprite size===
====Front sprite size====
In Generation I and II, the {{gdis|Pokémon species data structure|II}} includes the Pokémon's front sprite dimensions as a single byte: address [[Pokémon species data structure (Generation I)|0x0A]] in Generation I; address [[Pokémon species data structure (Generation II)|0x11]] in Generation II. The high (left) and low (right) {{wp|Nibble|nybbles}} correspond to the width and height in tiles, respectively. In Generation I, the first byte of the compressed image is the image size in tiles as well, except the width and height are reversed. Each tile is 8×8 pixels.

In Generation I and II, these are the legitimately available values for each Pokémon, in hexadecimal: 0x55 (5×5 tiles = 40×40 pixels), 0x66 (6×6 tiles = 48×48 pixels), and 0x77 (7×7 tiles = 56×56 pixels). The games are technically able to generate Pokémon sprites as small as 1x1 tile, or rectangular sprites whose width and height are different, but they are only seen in [[glitch Pokémon]].

The sprites are compressed in the game data, with varying sizes. This is the uncompressed size of each sprite{{sup/1|RGBY}}{{sup/2|GS}} or animation frame{{sup/2|C}} in the uncompressed 2BPP (2 bits per pixel) format: 5×5 tiles = 400 bytes, 6×6 tiles = 576 bytes, and 7×7 tiles = 784 bytes.

In Generation III, all front sprites are 8×8 tiles (64×64 pixels).

See also:
* [[List of Pokémon by sprite size in Generation I]]
* [[List of Pokémon by sprite size in Generation II]]

====Back sprite size====
In Generation I, the back sprites are stored as 4x4 tiles (32x32 pixels) and then doubled to 8x8 tiles (64x64 pixels). Since the space reserved for them is 7x7 tiles (56x56 pixels), all their rightmost and lowest tiles are cropped. In the case of some Pokémon such as {{p|Raichu}}, {{p|Dugtrio}}, {{p|Persian}}, {{p|Electabuzz}}, and {{p|Porygon}}, their back sprites have a few pixels that are not visible in-game.

In Generation II, the space reserved for the back sprite is 56x56 pixels as before. However, this space is not completely filled because all back sprites are invariably 48x48 pixels.

In Generation III, all back sprites are 8×8 tiles (64×64 pixels).

===Sprite colors===
====Generation I color palettes====
[[File:Bulbasaur entry Blue GBC.png|thumb|right|Bulbasaur in Pokémon Blue (GBC)]]
{{main|List of Pokémon by color palette in Generation I}}
In Generation I games played on the [[Super Game Boy]], there are [[List of Pokémon by color palette in Generation I|10 color palettes]] available for the Pokémon. All palettes consist of exactly four colors: black, white, and usually two shades of the same color. For instance, {{p|Bulbasaur}} is a green Pokémon. Its four colors are black, white, and two shades of green.

In Generation I games played on the [[Game Boy Color]], the entire game has few color palettes by default. This includes a single color palette for all available Pokémon depending on the game. The non-Japanese versions of Pokémon Yellow exceptionally behave as the Super Game Boy, with 10 color palettes available for the Pokémon.

====Generation II color palettes====
In Generation II, each Pokémon still has palettes consisting of exactly four colors: black, white, and two other colors. Unlike the previous generation, the two other colors are different for each Pokémon, including different values for their {{pkmn2|Shiny}} versions.

===Sprite transparency===
In Generation I and II, all front and back sprites have a white background with no transparency. The Pokémon battles are set on a white background as well. From Generation III onwards, the front and back sprites have transparent backgrounds.

===Sprite spacing===
[[File:Sprite areas GSC.png|thumb|right|The blue squares represent sprite areas in Generation II (edited screenshot)]]
In Generations I and II:
* The small front sprites (5×5 tiles) are located at the center-bottom of the sprite area, with blank spaces at the top (2 tiles high), left (1 tile wide), and right (1 tile wide).
* The medium front sprites (6×6 tiles) and the Generation II back sprites are located at the right-bottom of the sprite area, with blank spaces at the top (1 tile high) and left (1 tile wide).
* The large front sprites (7×7 tiles) and the Generation I back sprites completely fill the sprite area.

===Sprite animations===
====Front sprite animations====
The Generation I and II games had static front sprites until {{game|Crystal}}, the first game where they are animated. The later Generation III games had static sprites as well, until {{game|Emerald}} used animated sprites. In both cases, this is seen as a short animation when the opposing Pokémon enters battle, or when checking a Pokémon's summary.

Starting in Generation III, the Pokémon's sprite constantly moves up and down when it can be selected in battle.

====Back sprite animations====
Starting in {{game|Platinum}}, a Pokémon's back sprite is also animated when it enters the battle.

===Sprite silhouettes===
In Generation I, the Pokémon front sprite appears as a blinking silhouette when it is evolving, and several Pokémon silhouettes appear in the game credits. However, this effect is achieved by applying a black color palette, so they appear normally (not as silhouettes) when the games are played in monochrome systems.

===Glitch Pokémon sprites===
In the case of glitch Pokémon such as [[MissingNo.]] and {{OBP|'M|00}}, the Pokémon's sprite often looks like a random assortment of pixels, which is a result of generating a sprite from game data that was not intended for this purpose.

====Generation I glitch Pokémon====
In Generation I, some glitch Pokémon (including MissingNo.) have an L shape, as a result of starting to generate the sprite at a tile other than the top-left corner.

The {{p|Kabutops}} and {{p|Aerodactyl}} fossils (two exhibits at the [[Pewter Museum of Science]]), and the [[Ghost (Pokémon Tower)|unidentified ghost]] from the [[Pokémon Tower]] have their front sprites stored as MissingNo. sprites.

In this generation, a Pokémon's sprite is based on its Pokédex number. These examples apply to {{game|Red and Blue|s}}:
* [[MissingNo.]] and {{OBP|'M|00}} have the same sprite, even though there are several different Pokémon index numbers named "MissingNo.", because all they share the Pokédex number #000.
** MissingNo.'s fossil and ghost sprites mentioned above are an exception. They still have the Pokédex number #000 but they have different sprites.
* The glitch Pokémon [[▶ A]], [[PkMn (C5)]], [[PkMn PkMn T]], and [[4 h]] have the same sprite because they share the Pokédex number #250.
* [[7PkMn 'v]] appear as a {{p|Tentacruel}}, sharing its Pokédex number (#073).
* [[-PkMn]] appear as a {{p|Magnemite}}, sharing its Pokédex number (#081).

===Pokémon icons===
[[File:GSC party.png|thumb|right|Pokémon [[party]] ([[Generation II]])]]
:''See also: [[List of Pokémon icons in Generations I and II]]''

In several places such as the Pokémon's [[summary]], [[nickname]], and [[trade]] animations, there are small icons representing each Pokémon. From Generation III onwards, the icons also represent each Pokémon in the [[Pokémon Storage System]].

* In Pokémon Red, Green, and Blue, there were 10 Pokémon icons.
* In Pokémon Yellow, there were 11 Pokémon icons, including the previous ones and an additional icon for Pikachu and Raichu.
* In Generation II, there were 38 Pokémon icons.
* From Generation III onwards, every Pokémon has its own icon.

In the party screen, they have a short animation when selected. From Generation III onwards, they quickly move up and down when selected.

In addition to those icons, there are also a few unique overworld sprites in some games, such as [[File:001 I OD.png]] for {{p|Bulbasaur}} in Pokémon Yellow.

===Walking Pokémon===
{{main|Walking Pokémon}}
In {{game|Yellow}}, the starting {{OBP|Pikachu|Yellow}} follows the player as an animated sprite in the overworld.

In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, there are animated sprites for all Pokémon as they are able to follow the player in the overworld.

===Unown Mode letters===
[[File:Unown Dex.png|thumb|right|Unown Mode with all 26 Unown forms listed]]
In {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}, the [[Unown Mode]] features small {{p|Unown}} letters. They are used in the list of obtained Unown and the words that represent them. Each letter is stored as a tile (8×8 pixels), like the regular letters.

In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, the [[Unown Report]] does not feature its own Unown letters but instead uses the same Unown icons that would be found in the [[party]] screen or the [[Pokémon Storage System]].
{{-}}

===Pokétch icons===
In {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}, the [[Pokétch]] has its own monochrome Pokémon icons on a green screen, for all the available Pokémon. They are used by the apps Pokémon List, Pokémon History, Friendship Checker, Egg Monitor, and Chain Counter.

The Generation I and II games had static front sprites until {{game|Crystal}}, the first game where they are animated. The later Generation III games had static sprites as well, until {{game|Emerald}} used animated sprites. In both cases, this is seen as a short animation when the opposing Pokémon enters battle, or when checking a Pokémon's summary.

Starting in Generation III, the Pokémon's sprite constantly moves up and down when it can be selected in battle.

====Back sprite animations====
Starting in {{game|Platinum}}, a Pokémon's back sprite is also animated when it enters the battle.

===Sprite silhouettes===
In Generation I, the Pokémon front sprite appears as a blinking silhouette when it is evolving, and several Pokémon silhouettes appear in the game credits. However, this effect is achieved by applying a black color palette, so they appear normally (not as silhouettes) when the games are played in monochrome systems.

===Glitch Pokémon sprites===
In the case of glitch Pokémon such as [[MissingNo.]] and {{OBP|'M|00}}, the Pokémon's sprite often looks like a random assortment of pixels, which is a result of generating a sprite from game data that was not intended for this purpose.

====Generation I glitch Pokémon====
In Generation I, some glitch Pokémon (including MissingNo.) have an L shape, as a result of starting to generate the sprite at a tile other than the top-left corner.

The {{p|Kabutops}} and {{p|Aerodactyl}} fossils (two exhibits at the [[Pewter Museum of Science]]), and the [[Ghost (Pokémon Tower)|unidentified ghost]] from the [[Pokémon Tower]] have their front sprites stored as MissingNo. sprites.

In this generation, a Pokémon's sprite is based on its Pokédex number. These examples apply to {{game|Red and Blue|s}}:
* [[MissingNo.]] and {{OBP|'M|00}} have the same sprite, even though there are several different Pokémon index numbers named "MissingNo.", because all they share the Pokédex number #000.
** MissingNo.'s fossil and ghost sprites mentioned above are an exception. They still have the Pokédex number #000 but they have different sprites.
* The glitch Pokémon [[▶ A]], [[PkMn (C5)]], [[PkMn PkMn T]], and [[4 h]] have the same sprite because they share the Pokédex number #250.
* [[7PkMn 'v]] appear as a {{p|Tentacruel}}, sharing its Pokédex number (#073).
* [[-PkMn]] appear as a {{p|Magnemite}}, sharing its Pokédex number (#081).

===Pokémon icons===
[[File:GSC party.png|thumb|right|Pokémon [[party]] ([[Generation II]])]]
:''See also: [[List of Pokémon icons in Generations I and II]]''

In several places such as the Pokémon's [[summary]], [[nickname]], and [[trade]] animations, there are small icons representing each Pokémon. From Generation III onwards, the icons also represent each Pokémon in the [[Pokémon Storage System]].

* In Pokémon Red, Green, and Blue, there were 10 Pokémon icons.
* In Pokémon Yellow, there were 11 Pokémon icons, including the previous ones and an additional icon for Pikachu and Raichu.
* In Generation II, there were 38 Pokémon icons.
* From Generation III onwards, every Pokémon has its own icon.

In the party screen, they have a short animation when selected. From Generation III onwards, they quickly move up and down when selected.

In addition to those icons, there are also a few unique overworld sprites in some games, such as [[File:001 I OD.png]] for {{p|Bulbasaur}} in Pokémon Yellow.

===Walking Pokémon===
{{main|Walking Pokémon}}
In {{game|Yellow}}, the starting {{OBP|Pikachu|Yellow}} follows the player as an animated sprite in the overworld.

In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, there are animated sprites for all Pokémon as they are able to follow the player in the overworld.

===Unown Mode letters===
[[File:Unown Dex.png|thumb|right|Unown Mode with all 26 Unown forms listed]]
In {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}, the [[Unown Mode]] features small {{p|Unown}} letters. They are used in the list of obtained Unown and the words that represent them. Each letter is stored as a tile (8×8 pixels), like the regular letters.

In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, the [[Unown Report]] does not feature its own Unown letters but instead uses the same Unown icons that would be found in the [[party]] screen or the [[Pokémon Storage System]].
{{-}}

===Pokétch icons===
In {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}, the [[Pokétch]] has its own monochrome Pokémon icons on a green screen, for all the available Pokémon. They are used by the apps Pokémon List, Pokémon History, Friendship Checker, Egg Monitor, and Chain Counter.

The '''Safari Ball''' (Japanese: '''サファリボール''' ''Safari Ball'') is a type of [[Poké Ball]] introduced in [[Generation I]]. It can be used to {{pkmn2|caught|catch}} [[wild Pokémon]] during a [[Safari Zone|Safari Game]].

==In the core series games==

In Generations {{gen|I}}, {{gen|III}}, {{gen|IV}}, [[Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl|Pokémon Brilliant Diamond, and Shining Pearl]], the {{player}} could only legitimately have Safari Balls in their possession during the [[Safari Zone|Safari Game]]s of the [[Kanto Safari Zone]], [[Johto Safari Zone]], [[Hoenn Safari Zone]], and [[Sinnoh]]'s [[Great Marsh]].

In [[Generation II]], Safari Balls are absent from the game data, while in Generations {{gen|V}}–{{gen|VII}}, they are present in the data but not legitimately obtainable nonetheless.

====In regular wild battles====
{{incomplete|section|If the player has any Safari Balls in the Bag despite that not being normally possible, check if they still work to catch Pokémon in regular battles in Generations IV-VII and in Pokémon X and Y}}

In Generations I and III, and in Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, if the player has any Safari Balls in the Bag (which is not normally possible), they work normally to catch Pokémon in regular battles.

In Generation I only, since the Safari Ball is a [[Key Item]], the number of Safari Balls in the [[Bag]] or [[PC]] is not shown. The player can deposit or withdraw them in the PC, but only one at a time. They cannot be sold, tossed away, or transferred to the {{OBP|PC|Stadium}} storage of the [[Pokémon Stadium series]].

Starting in {{g|Sword and Shield}}'s [[The Isle of Armor]] [[Pokémon Sword and Shield Expansion Pass|Expansion]], the Safari Ball can now be legitimately obtained outside of a Safari Game and used in regular wild encounters.

The Safari Ball cannot be used in situations in which Poké Balls cannot be used, such as in wild battles with two or more opponents currently present or against a [[Island challenge|trial]] Pokémon. If used in a Trainer battle (except if used as a [[Snag Ball]] on a [[Shadow Pokémon]]), the opposing Trainer will deflect it, wasting the ball (in [[Generation III]] and earlier) or only the player's turn (from [[Generation IV]] onward). If used on the [[Marowak (ghost)|ghost Marowak]] or any [[Ghost (Pokémon Tower)|unidentified ghost]], it will dodge it, wasting the ball.

In [[Generation I]] only, in addition to the ghost Marowak, if this is used on any other wild Marowak on [[Pokémon Tower]] 6F (which cannot occur in normal gameplay), it will dodge the ball, being unable to be caught as well. Although this cannot occur in normal gameplay either, if a wild Pokémon uses {{m|Transform}} on Pokémon Tower 6F, its original species is used to determine whether it can be caught, not its transformed species.

===Acquisition===
When the player participates in a [[Safari Zone|Safari Game]], they receive 30 Safari Balls exclusively for use within the Safari Game. They are not placed in the player's [[Bag]], and any unused Safari Balls are returned at the end of the Safari Game.

In {{game|Yellow}} only, if the player does not have the required {{PDollar}}500 to enter the Safari Zone, they can instead pay all of their money and receive a number of Safari Balls proportional to the amount paid. If they have no money, they can enter for free and receive a single Safari Ball.

==In the spin-off games==
===Pokémon GO===
[[File:GO Safari Ball.png|thumb|120px|The GO Safari Ball in Pokémon GO]]
In {{g|GO}}, the Safari Ball is called the '''GO Safari Ball''', a special, event-exclusive Poké Ball with a higher catch rate than other Poké Balls. Its only visual difference from other Safari Balls is the word "GO" on the top of the ball.

The GO Safari Ball is available in Pokémon GO during [[List of events in Pokémon GO|GO Wild Area events]]. When a Wild Area event is active, players can receive GO Safari Balls by spinning Photo Discs at [[PokéStop]]s and {{GO|Gym}}s. Players with an event ticket can also receive GO Safari Balls from hourly Timed Research. During the 2025 GO Wild Area event, Supply Balloons that provide GO Safari Balls will appear hourly for players with an event ticket. All unused GO Safari Balls expire and disappear from the player's [[Bag]] at the end of each day of the event.<ref>[https://pokemongolive.com/gowildarea/gameplay Event Gameplay – Pokémon GO]</ref><ref>[https://pokemongolive.com/gowildarea/global Pokémon GO Wild Area: Global]</ref>

Pokémon caught in GO Safari Balls are currently unable to be transferred to {{g|HOME}} via the [[GO Transporter]]. This restriction will be lifted in the future; Pokémon transferred via the GO Transporter will display the GO Safari Ball differently in some way.<ref>[https://pokemongo.com/news/get-ready-for-gowildarea-2025?hl=en Get ready for Pokémon GO Wild Area 2025. New details revealed! – Pokémon GO]</ref>

Pokémon caught in GO Safari Balls can be transferred to [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]] via [[GO Park]]. Like other Pokémon transferred to GO Park, the GO Safari Ball is overwritten by the Poké Ball used to catch the Pokémon within GO Park itself.

GO Safari Balls cannot be used during {{p|Scatterbug}} or {{GO|Shadow Pokémon}} encounters (except for [[Shadow Raid]]s, if the player has an event ticket). They also cannot be used during [[Legendary Pokémon|Legendary]] or [[Mythical Pokémon|Mythical]] encounters from research tasks.

===''Pokémon the Series''===
===={{aniseries|OS}}====
In [[EP035]], [[Kaiser]] gave {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} 30 Safari Balls to be used within the [[Kanto Safari Zone]]. Ash attempted to {{pkmn2|caught|catch}} various rare Pokémon with them, but he ultimately ended up using all of his Safari Balls on nothing but {{AP|Tauros}}. The Safari Balls containing Ash's Tauros reappeared in ''[[EP065|Showdown at the Po-Ké Corral]]''; however, for an unexplained reason, whenever Ash has subsequently used one of his Tauros in a {{pkmn|battle}}, it has been sent out from a standard {{i|Poké Ball}}.

===={{aniseries|DP}}====
A Safari Ball appeared in [[Which One ~ Is It?]], a Japanese ending theme from {{aniseries|DP}}, also marking the debut of the Ball's in-game design in the {{pkmn|animated series}}.

===={{aniseries|XY}}====
In ''[[XY079|A Frenzied Factory Fiasco!]]'', while Safari Balls themselves did not appear at the [[Poké Ball Factory]], {{MTR}} was briefly painted on with the Safari Ball's camouflage pattern, revealing that these Balls are made at the factory. This is also the first time that the games' design of Safari Balls has appeared in the animated series, outside of openings and endings.

===={{MangaArc|Diamond & Pearl}}====
In ''[[PS364|A Skuffle with Skorupi]]'', {{adv|Diamond}}, {{adv|Pearl}}, and {{adv|Platinum}} entered the [[Great Marsh]] and received some Safari Balls to be used during the Safari Game, intending to catch a {{type|Grass}} Pokémon for Platinum to use against [[Crasher Wake]]. However, in the end, they failed to catch a single new Pokémon.

===={{MangaArc|HeartGold & SoulSilver}}====
In ''[[PS446|Weavile Wobbles But It Won't Fall Down]]'', {{adv|Silver}} received some Safari Balls while entering the [[Johto Safari Zone]]. He tried to use one on an {{p|Arbok}}, but [[Eusine]] stopped him, due to him having violated the Safari Zone's no-battling rule by attacking the Arbok with his {{TP|Silver|Weavile}}.

===Pokémon Zensho===
In [[PZ06]], {{zensho|Satoshi}} received some Safari Balls while entering the Safari Zone.
{{-}}

==Trivia==
* The Safari Ball is the only [[Poké Ball]] type introduced in [[Generation I]] not to be present in [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]].
* In the [[Generation I]] games, the Safari Ball is functionally identical to the [[Ultra Ball]], which, due to a programming oversight, makes Pokémon with high [[catch rate]]s, including many that can be found in the Safari Zone, significantly harder to catch at full health.

Damage

2026-07-13T05:13:15Z

Daniel Carrero:

[[File:Ash Pokémon injured.png|thumb|300px|{{cat|Ash's Pokémon}} injured after a battle]]
'''Damage''' (Japanese: '''ダメージ''' ''damage'') is a loss of a Pokémon's [[HP]] that happens as the result of a [[physical move|physical]] or [[special move|special]] [[move|attack]] used against it by another Pokémon.

==In the core series games==
{{incomplete|section|needs=Anything that may have potentially been missed or inaccurate}}

Except for {{cat|moves that deal direct damage}}, the damage dealt when a Pokémon uses a damaging move depends on its [[level]], its effective Attack or Special Attack [[statistic|stat]], the opponent's effective Defense or Special Defense stat, and the move's effective [[power]]. In addition, various factors of damage modification may also affect the damage dealt.

More precisely, damage is calculated in each [[Generation]] as:

===Generation I===
:<math>Damage = \left(\frac{\left( \frac{2 \times Level \times Critical}{5} + 2\right) \times Power \times A / D}{50} + 2\right) \times STAB \times Type1 \times Type2 \times random</math>

where:

* ''Level'' is the [[level]] of the attacking Pokémon.
* ''Critical'' is 2 for a [[critical hit]], and 1 otherwise.
* ''A'' is the effective Attack stat of the attacking Pokémon if the used move is a [[physical move]], or the effective Special stat of the attacking Pokémon if the used move is a [[special move]] (for a [[critical hit]], all modifiers are ignored, and the unmodified Attack or Special is used instead). If either this or ''D'' are greater than 255, both are divided by 4 and rounded down.
* ''D'' is the effective Defense stat of the target if the used move is a [[physical move]], or the effective Special stat of the target if the used move is an other [[special move]] (for a [[critical hit]], all modifiers are ignored, and the unmodified Defense or Special is used instead). If the move is physical and the target has {{m|Reflect}} up, or if the move is special and the target has {{m|Light Screen}} up, this value is doubled (unless it is a critical hit). If the move is {{m|Explosion}} or {{m|Self-Destruct|Selfdestruct}}, this value is halved (rounded down, with a minimum of 1). If either this or ''A'' are greater than 255, both are divided by 4 and rounded down. Unlike future Generations, if this is 0, the division is not made equal to 0; rather, the game will try to [[List of glitches in Generation I#Division by 0|divide by 0]] and softlock, hanging indefinitely until it is turned off.
* ''Power'' is the [[power]] of the used move.
* ''STAB'' is the [[same-type attack bonus]]. This is equal to 1.5 if the move's [[type]] matches any of the user's types, and 1 if otherwise. Internally, it is recognized as an addition of the damage calculated thus far divided by 2, rounded down, then added to the damage calculated thus far. 
* ''Type1'' is the [[type effectiveness]] of the used move against the target's type that comes first in the type matchup table, or only type if it only has one type. This can be 0.5 (not very effective), 1 (normally effective), 2 (super effective). 
* ''Type2'' is the [[type effectiveness]] of the used move against the target's type that comes second in the type matchup table. This can be 0.5 (not very effective), 1 (normally effective), 2 (super effective). If the target only has one type, ''Type2'' is 1. If this would result in 0 damage, the calculation ends here and the move is stated to have missed, even if it would've hit.
* ''random'' is realized as a multiplication by a random uniformly distributed integer between 217 and 255 (inclusive), followed by an integer division by 255. If the calculated damage thus far is 1, ''random'' is always 1.

===Generation II===
:<math>Damage = \left(\left(\frac{\left( \frac{2 \times Level}{5} + 2\right) \times Power \times A / D}{50}\right) \times Item \times Critical + 2 \right) \times TK \times Weather \times Badge \times STAB \times Type \times MoveMod \times random \times DoubleDmg</math>

where:

* ''Level'' is the [[level]] of the attacking Pokémon. If the used move is {{m|Beat Up}}, ''Level'' is instead the level of the Pokémon performing the strike.
* ''A'' is the effective Attack stat of the attacking Pokémon if the used move is a [[physical move]], or the effective Special Attack stat of the attacking Pokémon if the used move is a [[special move]] (for a [[critical hit]], if the target's Defense or Special Defense stat stage is greater than or equal to the attacker's Attack or Special Attack stat stage, all modifiers are ignored, and the unmodified Attack or Special is used instead). If the used move is {{m|Beat Up}}, ''A'' is instead the base Attack of the Pokémon performing the strike.
* ''D'' is the effective Defense stat of the target if the used move is a [[physical move]], or the effective Special stat of the target if the used move is a [[special move]] (for a [[critical hit]], all modifiers are ignored, and the unmodified Defense or Special is used instead). If the move is physical and the target has {{m|Reflect}} up, or if the move is special and the target has {{m|Light Screen}} up, this value is doubled (unless it is a critical hit). If the move is {{m|Explosion}} or {{m|Self-Destruct|Selfdestruct}}, this value is halved (rounded down, with a minimum of 1). If the used move is {{m|Beat Up}}, ''D'' is instead the base Defense of the target.
* ''Power'' is the [[power]] of the used move.
* ''Item'' is 1.1  if the attacker is holding an [[:Category:Type-enhancing held items|type-enhancing held item]] corresponding to the attack type (for instance, the [[Magnet]] for an {{type|Electric}} move). Otherwise, this value is simply 1.
* ''Critical'' is 2 for a [[critical hit]], and 1 otherwise. It is always is 1 if the used move is {{m|Flail}}, {{m|Reversal}}, or {{m|Future Sight}}. 
* ''TK'' is 1, 2, or 3 for each successive hit of {{m|Triple Kick}}, or always 1 if the used move is not Triple Kick.
* ''Weather'' is 1.5 if a {{type|Water}} move is being used during [[rain]] or a {{type|Fire}} move during [[harsh sunlight]], and 0.5 if a Water-type move is used during harsh sunlight or {{m|Solar Beam|SolarBeam}} or any Fire-type move during rain, and 1 otherwise. 
* ''Badge'' is 1.125  if the attacking Pokémon is controlled by the player and if the player has obtained the [[Badge]] corresponding to the used move's [[type]], and 1 otherwise. This bonus is not applied in link battles or the {{OBP|Battle Tower|Generation II}}. 
* ''STAB'' is the [[same-type attack bonus]]. This is equal to 1.5 if the move's [[type]] matches any of the user's types, and 1 if otherwise. 
* ''Type'' is the [[type effectiveness]]. This can be 0.25, 0.5 (not very effective), 1 (normally effective), 2, or 4 (super effective), depending on both the move's and target's [[type]]s. If the used move is {{m|Struggle}}, {{m|Future Sight}}, or {{m|Beat Up}}, ''Type'' is always 1.
* ''MoveMod'' can be (and if the used move is not any of these, ''MoveMod'' is 1):
** If {{m|Rollout}} is used, <math>2^\left(n+d\right)</math>, where ''n'' is the amount of successful and consecutive hits of the move, up to 4 (for the fifth hit), and ''d'' is 1 if {{m|Defense Curl}} was used beforehand and 0 otherwise.
** If {{m|Fury Cutter}} is used, <math>2^n</math>, where ''n'' is the number of successful and consecutive uses of the move, up to 4.
** If {{m|Rage}} is used, an integer value corresponding to the Rage counter, i.e. the number of times the user of Rage has been damaged by an attack while using Rage.
* ''random'' is realized as a multiplication by a random uniformly distributed integer between 217 and 255 (inclusive), followed by an integer division by 255. ''random'' is always 1 if {{m|Flail}} or {{m|Reversal}} is used.
* ''DoubleDmg'' is 2 if the used move is {{m|Pursuit}} and the target is attempting to switch out, {{m|Stomp}} and the target has previously used {{m|Minimize}}, {{m|Gust}} or {{m|Twister}} and the target is in the semi-invulnerable turn of {{m|Fly}}, or {{m|Earthquake}} or {{m|Magnitude}} and the target is in the semi-invulnerable turn of Dig, and 1 otherwise.

===Generation III===
:<math>Damage = \left(\left(\frac{\left( \frac{2 \times Level}{5} + 2\right) \times Power \times A / D}{50}\right) \times Burn \times Screen \times Targets \times Weather \times FF + 2 \right) \times Stockpile \times Critical \times DoubleDmg \times Charge \times HH \times STAB \times Type1 \times Type2 \times random</math>

where:

* ''Level'' is the [[level]] of the attacking Pokémon. If the used move is {{m|Beat Up}}, ''Level'' is instead the level of the Pokémon performing the strike.
* ''A'' is the effective Attack stat of the attacking Pokémon if the used move is a [[physical move]], or the effective Special Attack stat of the attacking Pokémon if the used move is a [[special move]] (for a [[critical hit]], negative Attack or Special Attack stat stages are ignored). If the used move is {{m|Beat Up}}, ''A'' is instead the base Attack of the Pokémon performing the strike. 
* ''D'' is the effective Defense stat of the target if the used move is a [[physical move]], or the effective Special Defense stat of the target if the used move is a [[special move]] (for a [[critical hit]], positive Defense or Special Defense stat stages are ignored). If the used move is {{m|Beat Up}}, ''D'' is instead the base Defense of the target.
* ''Power'' is the effective [[power]] of the used move. 
* ''Burn'' is 0.5 if the attacker is {{status|burned}}, its Ability is not {{a|Guts}}, and the used move is a [[physical move]], and 1 otherwise. 
* ''Screen'' is 0.5 if the used move is physical and {{m|Reflect}} is present on the target's side of the field, or special and {{m|Light Screen}} is present. For a [[Double Battle]], ''Screen'' is instead 2/3, and 1 otherwise or if the used move lands a [[critical hit]]. However, if, in a Double Battle, when the move is executed, the only Pokémon on the target's side is the target, ''Screen'' remains as 0.5.
* ''Targets'' is 0.5 in [[Double Battle]]s if the move {{cat|moves that target all adjacent foes|targets both foes}} (unless it {{cat|moves that target all adjacent Pokémon|targets all other Pokémon}}, like {{m|Earthquake}}, and only if there is more than one such target when the move is executed, regardless of whether the move actually hits or can hit all the targets), and 1 otherwise.
* If the base damage after applying ''Targets'' is 0 and the move is physical the base damage is increased by 1.<ref>See [https://github.com/pret/pokeemerald/blob/9c8cfe3b7586471958c9b90a04e0fab65f04a37a/src/pokemon.c#L3279-L3281 pret/pokeemerald CalculateBaseDamage]</ref>
* ''Weather'' is 1.5 if a {{type|Water}} move is being used during [[rain]] or a {{type|Fire}} move during [[harsh sunlight]], and 0.5 if a Water-type move is used during harsh sunlight, any Fire-type move during rain, or {{m|SolarBeam}} during any non-clear weather besides harsh sunlight, and 1 otherwise or if any Pokémon on the field have the Ability {{a|Cloud Nine}} or {{a|Air Lock}}. 
* ''FF'' is 1.5 if the used move is {{type|Fire}}, and the attacker's Ability is {{a|Flash Fire}} that has been activated by a Fire-type move, and 1 otherwise. 
* ''Stockpile'' is 1, 2, or 3 if the used move is {{m|Spit Up}}, depending on how many {{m|Stockpile}}s have been used, or always 1 if the used move is not Spit Up.
* ''Critical'' is 2 for a [[critical hit]], and 1 otherwise. It is always 1 if {{m|Future Sight}}, {{m|Doom Desire}}, or {{m|Spit Up}} is used, if the target's Ability is {{a|Battle Armor}} or {{a|Shell Armor}}, or if the battle is the first one against {{p|Poochyena}}{{sup/3|RS}}/{{p|Zigzagoon}}{{sup/3|E}} or the capture tutorial where [[Wally]] catches a {{p|Ralts}}.
* ''DoubleDmg'' is 2 if the used move is (and 1 if the used move is not any of these moves):
** {{m|Gust}} or {{m|Twister}} and the target is in the semi-invulnerable turn of {{m|Fly}} or {{m|Bounce}}.
** {{m|Stomp}}, {{m|Needle Arm}}, {{m|Astonish}}, or {{m|Extrasensory}} and the target has previously used {{m|Minimize}}.
** {{m|Surf}} or {{m|Whirlpool}} and the target is in the semi-invulnerable turn of {{m|Dive}}.
** {{m|Earthquake}} or {{m|Magnitude}} and the target is in the semi-invulnerable turn of {{m|Dig}}. 
** {{m|Pursuit}} and the target is attempting to [[Recall|switch out]].
** {{m|Facade}} and the user is {{status|poisoned}}, {{status|burned}}, or {{status|paralyzed}}.
** {{m|SmellingSalt}} and the target is {{status|paralyzed}}.
** {{m|Revenge}} and the attacker has been damaged by the target this turn.
** {{m|Weather Ball}}, there is non-clear [[weather]], and no Pokémon on the field have the Ability {{a|Cloud Nine}} or {{a|Air Lock}}.
* ''Charge'' is 2 if the move is {{type|Electric}} and {{m|Charge}} takes effect, and 1 otherwise.
* ''HH'' is 1.5 if the attacker's ally in a [[Double Battle]] has used {{m|Helping Hand}} on it, and 1 otherwise. 
* ''STAB'' is the [[same-type attack bonus]]. This is equal to 1.5 if the move's [[type]] matches any of the user's types and 1 if otherwise. 
* ''Type1'' is the [[type effectiveness]] of the used move against the target's first type (or only type, if it only has a single type). This can be 0.5 (not very effective), 1 (normally effective), or 2 (super effective). If the used move is {{m|Struggle}}, {{m|Future Sight}}, {{m|Beat Up}}, or {{m|Doom Desire}}, both ''Type1'' and ''Type2'' are always 1.
* ''Type2'' is the [[type effectiveness]] of the used move against the target's second type. This can be 0.5 (not very effective), 1 (normally effective), or 2 (super effective). If the target only has a single type, ''Type2'' is 1. 
* ''random'' is realized as a multiplication by a random uniformly distributed integer between 85 and 100 (inclusive), followed by an integer division by 100.  ''random'' is always 1 if {{m|Spit Up}} is used.

===Generation IV===
:<math>Damage = \left(\left(\frac{\left( \frac{2 \times Level}{5} + 2\right) \times Power \times A / D}{50}\right) \times Burn \times Screen \times Targets \times Weather \times FF + 2 \right) \times Critical \times Item \times First \times random \times STAB \times Type1 \times Type2 \times SRF \times EB \times TL \times Berry</math>

* ''Screen'' is 0.5 if the used move is physical and {{m|Reflect}} is present on the target's side of the field, or special and {{m|Light Screen}} is present. For a [[Double Battle]], ''Screen'' is instead 2/3; however, if in a Double Battle when the move is executed, the only Pokémon on the target's side of the field is the target (for moves with only one target), or there is only one target when the move is executed (for moves with more than one target), ''Screen'' remains as 0.5. ''Screen'' is 1 otherwise or if the used move lands a [[critical hit]].
* ''Targets'' is 0.75 in [[Double Battle]]s if the used move {{cat|moves that target all adjacent foes|has more than}} {{cat|moves that target all adjacent Pokémon|one target}} (provided there is more than one such target when the move is executed, regardless of whether the move actually hits or can hit all the targets), and 1 otherwise.
* ''Weather'' is 1.5 if a {{type|Water}} move is being used during [[rain]] or a {{type|Fire}} move during [[harsh sunlight]], and 0.5 if a Water-type move is used during harsh sunlight or a Fire-type move during rain, or {{m|SolarBeam}} during any non-clear weather besides harsh sunlight, and 1 otherwise or if any Pokémon on the field have the Ability {{a|Cloud Nine}} or {{a|Air Lock}}.

* ''Berry'' is 0.5 if the used move is super effective and the target is holding the {{cat|Damage-reducing Berries|Berry that weakens it}}, or {{type|Normal}} and the target is holding a [[Chilan Berry]], and 1 otherwise.

===Generation V onward===
{{Incomplete|section|needs=If Pokémon Champions uses this formula, the new modifiers (i.e. reduced damage from Unseen Fist / Piercing Drill, Sun effects from Mega Sol, etc.) are missing}}
Unless otherwise specified, all divisions and multiplications past the initial base damage calculation are rounded to the nearest integer if the result is not an integer (rounding down at 0.5).

:<math>Damage = \left(\frac{\left( \frac{2 \times Level}{5} + 2\right) \times Power \times A / D}{50} + 2\right) \times Targets \times PB \times Weather \times GlaiveRush \times Critical \times random \times STAB \times Type \times Burn \times other \times ZMove \times TeraShield</math>

where

* ''Level'' is the [[level]] of the attacking Pokémon.
* ''A'' is the effective Attack stat of the attacking Pokémon if the used move is a [[physical move]], or the effective Special Attack stat of the attacking Pokémon if the used move is a [[special move]] (ignoring negative stat stages for a [[critical hit]]).
* ''D'' is the effective Defense stat of the target if the used move is a [[physical move]] or a {{cat|Moves that use stats from different categories|special move that uses the target's Defense stat}}, or the effective Special Defense of the target if the used move is an other [[special move]] (ignoring positive stat stages for a [[critical hit]]).
* ''Power'' is the effective [[power]] of the used move.
* ''Targets'' is 0.75 (0.5 in [[Battle Royal]]s) if the move has more than one [[Range|target]] when the move is executed, and 1 otherwise.
* ''PB'' is 0.25 (0.5 in [[Generation VI]]) if the move is the second strike of {{a|Parental Bond}}, and 1 otherwise.
* ''Weather'' is 1.5 if a {{type|Water}} move is being used during [[rain]] or a {{type|Fire}} move or {{m|Hydro Steam}} during [[harsh sunlight]], and 0.5 if a Water-type move (besides Hydro Steam) is used during harsh sunlight or a Fire-type move during rain, and 1 otherwise or if any Pokémon on the field have the Ability {{a|Cloud Nine}} or {{a|Air Lock}}.
* ''GlaiveRush'' is 2 if the target used the move {{m|Glaive Rush}} in the previous turn, or 1 otherwise.
* ''Critical'' is 1.5 (2 in [[Generation V]]) for a [[critical hit]], and 1 otherwise. Decimals are rounded down to the nearest integer. It is always 1 if the target's Ability is {{a|Battle Armor}} or {{a|Shell Armor}} or if the target is under the effect of {{m|Lucky Chant}}.
** Conversely, unless critical hits are prevented entirely by one of the above effects, ''Critical'' will always be 1.5 (or 2 in Generation V) if the used move is {{m|Storm Throw}}, {{m|Frost Breath}}, {{m|Zippy Zap}}, {{m|Surging Strikes}}, {{m|Wicked Blow}}, or {{m|Flower Trick}}, the target is {{status|poisoned}} and the attacker's Ability is {{a|Merciless}}, or if the user is under the effect of {{m|Laser Focus}}.
* ''random'' is a random factor. Namely, it is recognized as a multiplication from a random integer between 85 and 100, inclusive, then divided by 100.
** If the battle is taking place as a [[Pokéstar Studios]] film, ''random'' is always 1.
* ''STAB'' is the [[same-type attack bonus]]. This is equal to 1.5 if the move's [[type]] matches any of the user's types, 2 if the user of the move additionally has {{a|Adaptability}}, and 1 otherwise or if the attacker and/or used move is [[typeless]]. If the used move is a combination Pledge move, ''STAB'' is always 1.5 (or 2 if the user's Ability is Adaptability). When {{Tera}}stallized, ''STAB'' is (if not 1):
** 1.5 if the move's type matches either the Pokemon's original type(s) or a different Tera Type from its original types, and the attacker's Ability is not Adaptability.
** 2 if the move's type matches the same Tera Type as one of the Pokemon's original types and the attacker's Ability is not Adaptability, or the situation above, if the attacker's Ability is Adaptability.
*** However, if STAB only applies from the attacker's original type(s), not its Tera Type, ''STAB'' will always be 1.5, even if the attacker's Ability is Adaptability.
** 2.25 if the move's type matches the same Tera Type as one of the Pokemon's original types and the attacker's Ability is Adaptability.
* ''Type'' is the {{DL|Type|type effectiveness}}. This can be 0.125, 0.25, 0.5 (not very effective); 1 (normally effective); 2, 4, or 8 (super effective), depending on both the move's and target's [[type]]s. The 0.125 and 8 can potentially be obtained on a Pokémon under the effect of {{m|Forest's Curse}} or {{m|Trick-or-Treat}}. If the used move is {{m|Struggle}} or [[typeless]] {{m|Revelation Dance}}, or the target is typeless, ''Type'' is always 1. Decimals are rounded down to the nearest integer. Certain effects can modify this, namely:
** If the target is an [[grounded|ungrounded]] {{type|Flying}} that is not being grounded by any other effect and is holding an [[Iron Ball]] or under the effect of {{m|Thousand Arrows}}, ''Type'' is equal to 1.
** If the target is a [[grounded]] {{type|Flying}} (unless grounded by an Iron Ball or Thousand Arrows, as above), treat {{t|Ground}}'s matchup against Flying as 1.
** If the target is holding a [[Ring Target]] and the used move is of a type it would otherwise be immune to, treat that particular type matchup as 1.
** If the attacker's Ability is {{a|Scrappy}}, treat {{t|Normal}} and {{t|Fighting}}'s type matchups against {{t|Ghost}} as 1.
** If the target is under the effect of {{m|Foresight}}, {{m|Odor Sleuth}} or {{m|Miracle Eye}}, and the target is of a type that would otherwise grant immunity to the used move, treat that particular type matchup as 1.
** If the used move is {{m|Freeze-Dry}}, treat the move's type's matchup against {{t|Water}} as 2.
** If the used move is {{m|Flying Press}}, consider both the move's type effectiveness and the {{t|Flying}} type's against the target, and multiply them together.
** If [[strong winds]] are in effect and the used move would be super effective against {{t|Flying}}, treat the type matchup against Flying as 1 instead.
** If the target is under the effect of {{m|Tar Shot}} and the used move is {{type|Fire}}, multiply ''Type'' by 2.
* ''Burn'' is 0.5 if the attacker is {{status|burned}}, its Ability is not {{a|Guts}}, and the used move is a [[physical move]] (other than {{m|Facade}} from [[Generation VI]] onward), and 1 otherwise.
* ''other'' is 1 in most cases, and a different multiplier when specific interactions of moves, Abilities, or items take effect, in this order (and if multiple moves, Abilities, or items take effect, they do so in the order of the out-of-battle {{stat|Speed}} stats of the Pokémon with them):

:If multiple effects influence the ''other'' value, their values stack multiplicatively, in the order listed above. This is done by starting at 4096, multiplying it by each number above in the order listed above, and rounding to the nearest integer whenever the result is not an integer (rounding up at 0.5). When the final value is obtained, it is divided by 4096, and this becomes ''other''. For example, if both {{a|Multiscale}} and a [[Chilan Berry]] take effect, ''other'' is <math>\frac{4096 \times 0.5 \times 0.5}{4096}</math> = 0.25.
* ''ZMove'' is 0.25 if the move is a [[Z-Move]] or [[Max Move]] and the target would be [[Protection|protected]] from that move (e.g. by {{m|Protect}}), and 1 otherwise. (If this multiplier is applied, a message is displayed that the target "couldn't fully protect" itself.)
* ''TeraShield'' is applied in [[Tera Raid Battle]]s when the Raid boss's shield is active. It is 0.2 if the player's Pokémon is not {{Tera}}stallized, 0.35 if it is but the used move is not of its Tera Type, and 0.75 if it is and the used move is of its Tera Type. The result is subject to standard rounding (rounding up at 0.5).

In the first four generations, during the calculation, all operations are carried out on integers internally—this means that all division operations are [[wp:Rounding#Rounding to integer|truncated integer division]] (i.e. rounding down if the result is not an integer), and the results of multiplication operations are rounded down afterwards (truncating any fractional part). From [[Generation V]] onward, there are three different types of rounding; a {{wp|Floor (function)|flooring}} (the same as previous generations), rounding to the nearest integer while rounding down at 0.5, and rounding to the nearest integer while rounding up at 0.5.

If the calculation yields 0, the move will deal 1 HP damage instead (unless ''Type'' is equal to 0, in which case damage calculation is skipped entirely); however, in Generation V, a move may deal 0 damage when ''other'' is less than 1, because the routine to prevent 0 damage is erroneously performed before applying the ''other'' factor.

====Example====
Imagine a [[level]] 75 {{p|Glaceon}} that does not suffer a {{status|burn}} and holds no [[item]] with an effective Attack stat of 123 uses {{m|Ice Fang}} (an {{type|Ice}} [[physical move]] with a [[power]] of 65) against a {{p|Garchomp}} with an effective Defense stat of 163 in [[Generation VI]], and does not land a [[critical hit]]. Then, the move will receive {{STAB}}, because Glaceon's Ice type matches the move's: ''STAB'' = 1.5. Additionally, Garchomp is {{2t|Dragon|Ground}}, and therefore has a double weakness to the move's Ice type: ''Type'' = 4. All other (non-random) modifiers will be 1. This effectively gives

:<math>
\begin{align}
Damage &= \left(\frac{\left( \frac{2 \times 75}{5} + 2\right) \times 65 \times 123 / 163}{50} + 2\right) \times 1 \times 1 \times 1 \times 1 \times (rand \in [0.85,1.00]) \times 1.5 \times 4 \times 1 \times 1\\
& = rand \in [168,196]
\end{align}
</math>

That means Ice Fang will do between 168 and 196 HP damage, depending on luck.

If the same Glaceon holds a [[Muscle Band]] and its Ice Fang lands a [[critical hit]] against Garchomp, Ice Fang's effective power will be boosted by the Muscle Band by (approximately) 10% to become 71, and it will also be ''Critical'' = 1.5:

:<math>
\begin{align}
Damage &= \left(\frac{\left( \frac{2 \times 75}{5} + 2\right) \times 71 \times 123 / 163}{50} + 2\right) \times 1 \times 1 \times 1 \times 1.5 \times (rand \in [0.85,1.00]) \times 1.5 \times 4 \times 1 \times 1 \\
&= rand \in [268,324]
\end{align}
</math>

That means Ice Fang will now do between 268 and 324 HP damage, depending on luck.

===Pokémon Legends: Arceus===
In [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]], a new damage calculation method<ref>https://twitter.com/Sibuna_Switch/status/1553954748809764864</ref> is used:

All multiplications and divisions are rounded down to the nearest integer unless specified.

:<math>Damage = \left(\frac{\left(\left(100+A + \left(15 \times Level\right)\right) \times Power\right) / \left(D+50\right)}{5} \right) \times \left(AtkMod \times DefMod\right) \times random \times Type \times OtherMods</math>
:<math>OtherMods = Weather \times Critical \times STAB \times BurnFrostbite \times Drowsy \times FixatedOffense \times FixatedDefense \times Primed</math>

where
* ''Level'' is the [[level]] of the attacking Pokémon.
* ''A'' is the effective Attack stat of the attacking Pokémon if the used move is a [[physical move]], or the effective Special Attack stat of the attacking Pokémon if the used move is a [[special move]].
** If the attacker is under {{a|Slow Start}}, then the physical Attack stat will be halved at this step of the calculation.
** If the attacker is filled with Wild Might or Terrible Might, both Attack stats will be multiplied by 1.5.
* ''D'' is the effective Defense stat of the target if the used move is a [[physical move]], or the effective Special Defense of the target if the used move is an other [[special move]].
** If the target is filled with Wild Might or Terrible Might, both Defense stats will be multiplied by 1.5.
* ''Power'' is the [[power]] of the used move.
* ''AtkMod'' is 1.5 if the attacker's offensive stats are boosted, 1 if they are neutral, or 0.66 if they are lowered. If the attacker and target have the same "stage" of offensive and defensive stats, both this and ''DefMod'' are 1. This is applied by first multiplying ''AtkMod'' by ''DefMod'', then multiplying the result by the calculated damage thus far and rounding down to the nearest integer.
* ''DefMod'' is 1.5 if the target's defensive stats are lowered, 1 if they are neutral, or 0.66 if they are boosted.
* ''random'' is realized as a multiplication by a random integer between 85 and 100 (inclusive), and divided by 100.
** Splinter damage (from {{m|Ceaseless Edge}}, {{m|Pin Missile}}, {{m|Spikes}}, {{m|Stealth Rock}} and {{m|Stone Axe}}) is not subject to this factor.
* ''Type'' is the {{DL|Type|type effectiveness}}. This can be 0.4, 0.5 (not very effective); 1 (normally effective); 2, or 2.5 (super effective), depending on both the move's and target's [[type]]s.
* ''Weather'' is 0.75 if a Fire-type move is used during rain, and 1 otherwise. The result is rounded to the nearest integer (rounding down at 0.5).
* ''Critical'' is 1.5 for a critical hit, and 1 otherwise.
* ''STAB'' is the [[same-type attack bonus]]. This is equal to 1.25 if the move's [[type]] matches any of the user's types, and 1 otherwise. The result is rounded to the nearest integer (rounding down at 0.5).
* ''BurnFrostbite'' is 0.5 if the attacker is {{status|burn}}ed and the used move is [[physical move|physical]], or if the attacker is {{status|frostbite|frostbitten}} and the used move is [[special move|special]], and 1 otherwise.
* ''Drowsy'' is 1.33 if the target is {{status|drowsy}}, and 1 otherwise.
* ''FixatedOffense'' is 1.5 if the attacker is fixated, and 1 otherwise.
* ''FixatedDefense'' is 1.33 if the target is fixated, and 1 otherwise.
* ''Primed'' is 1.5 if the attacker is primed, and 1 otherwise.

===Pokémon Legends: Z-A===
In {{g|Legends: Z-A}}, a damage calculation method similar to the one used from [[Generation V]] onwards is used, though it does feature its own share of differences from it:<ref>https://x.com/Sibuna_Switch/status/1997434087204704314</ref>

All multiplications and divisions are rounded down to the nearest integer unless specified.

:<math>Damage = \left( \frac{A \times Power \times \left( \frac{2 \times Level}{5} + 2 \right)}{50 \times D} + 2 \right) \times Weather \times Critical \times random \times STAB \times Type \times Burn \times other \times Protect \times 0.7</math>

where

* ''Level'' is the [[level]] of the attacking Pokémon.
* ''A'' is the effective Attack stat of the attacking Pokémon if the used move is a [[physical move]], or the effective Special Attack stat of the attacking Pokémon if the used move is a [[special move]] (ignoring stat drops for a [[critical hit]]).
** It is multiplied by ×1.5 if the user's stat is boosted, or ×0.67 if the stat is dropped.
** It is multiplied by ×2 if the user's Trainer has a red [[X Attack]] buff in the [[Z-A Battle Club]].
** It is multiplied by ×2 if the user is a {{pkmn2|wild}} [[alpha Pokémon]]
** It can be multiplied by ×1.1, ×1.25, or ×1.5 if Levels 1, 2, or 3, respectively, of [[Donut#Flavor Power|Attack Power]] or Sp. Atk Power is active.
* ''D'' is the effective Defense stat of the target if the used move is a [[physical move]] or a {{cat|Moves that use stats from different categories|special move that uses the target's Defense stat}}, or the effective Special Defense of the target if the used move is an other [[special move]] (ignoring a stat boost for a [[critical hit]]).
** It is multiplied by ×1.5 if the target's stat is boosted, or ×0.67 if the stat is dropped.
** It is multiplied by ×2 if the target's Trainer has a blue [[X Defense]] buff in the [[Z-A Battle Club]].
** It is multiplied by ×2 if the target is a {{pkmn2|wild}} [[alpha Pokémon]]
** It can be multiplied by ×1.1, ×1.25, or ×1.5 if Levels 1, 2, or 3, respectively, of [[Donut#Flavor Power|Defense Power]] or Sp. Def Power is active.
** It can be multiplied by ×<math>\frac{1}{0.9}</math>, ×<math>\frac{1}{0.8}</math>, or ×<math>\frac{1}{0.65}</math> if Levels 1, 2, or 3, respectively, of [[Donut#Flavor Power|Resistance Power]] is active and the type of the used move matches the type Resistance Power guards against.
* ''Power'' is the base [[power]] of the used move.
** It can be multiplied by ×1.1, ×1.25, or ×1.5 if Levels 1, 2, or 3, respectively, of [[Donut#Flavor Power|Move Power]] is active and the type of the used move matches the type Move Power boosts.
* ''Weather'' is 1.2 if a {{type|Water}} move is used during [[rain]], 0.8 if a Fire-type move is used during rain, and 1 otherwise. 
* ''Critical'' is 1.5 for a [[critical hit]], and 1 otherwise. It will always be 1.5 if the attack was landed as a sneak attack on an opposing Trainer's Pokémon in a [[Z-A Royale]] or [[Hyperspace]] {{OBP|battle zone|Lumiose City}}.
* ''random'' is a random factor. Namely, it is recognized as a multiplication from a random integer between 85 and 100, inclusive, then divided by 100.
* ''STAB'' is the [[same-type attack bonus]]. This is equal to 1.5 if the move's [[type]] matches any of the user's types, and 1 otherwise or if the attacker and/or used move is [[typeless]].
* ''Type'' is the {{DL|Type|type effectiveness}}. The multiplier can be affected depending on if a [[Plus Move]] is used and if used against a [[Rogue Mega Evolution]] or equivalent boss battle. If a Plus Move is used against in a boss battle, the Plus Move multiplier is used.

:* Against a boss, 0.3× is applied to non-Plus Moves, and 0.63× is applied to super effective moves with a 4× or higher type multiplier.
:* The 0.15 and 8 (as well as the 0.18 and 10.4) can potentially be obtained on a Pokémon under the effect of {{m|Forest's Curse}} or {{m|Trick-or-Treat}}.
:* If the target is typeless, ''Type'' is always 1; in Legends: Z-A, this is only used against the [[Hyperrogue Ange Floette]] flowers, which are considered to be typeless.
:* If the attacker is a boss, and the target would otherwise be immune to the attack, ''Type'' is 0.3.
:* If the target is an [[grounded|ungrounded]] {{type|Flying}} that is not being grounded by any other effect and is under the effect of {{m|Thousand Arrows}}, ''Type'' is equal to 1.
:* If the target is a [[grounded]] {{type|Flying}} (unless grounded by an Thousand Arrows, as above), treat {{t|Ground}}'s matchup against Flying as 1.
:* If the used move is {{m|Freeze-Dry}}, treat the move's type's matchup against {{t|Water}} as 2.
:* If the used move is {{m|Flying Press}}, consider both the move's type effectiveness and the {{t|Flying}} type's against the target, and multiply them together.

* ''Burn'' is 0.5 if the attacker is {{status|burned}} and the used move is a [[physical move]], and 1 otherwise.
* ''other'' is 1 in most cases, and a different multiplier when specific interactions of moves or items take effect, in this order:

|-
|[[Life Orb]]
|1.3

|}
:If multiple effects influence the ''other'' value, their values stack multiplicatively, in the order listed above. This is done by starting with 1, multiplying the multipliers together, multiplying the final multiplier by the result thus far, and rounding down the result to the nearest integer.
* ''Protect'' is 0.25 if the move is a [[Plus Move]] and the target would be [[Protection|protected]] from that move (e.g. by {{m|Protect}}), and 1 if no protection is used. (If this multiplier is applied, a message is displayed that the target "couldn't fully protect" itself.)

If the calculation yields 0, the move will deal 1 HP damage instead (unless ''Type'' is equal to 0, in which case damage calculation is skipped entirely).

If the move would deal over 65535 damage, it will instead be capped at 65535; notably, this is different from in [[Generation V]] to {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}, where the damage instead would roll over to 0 at 65536.

==In the spin-off games==
===Pokémon GO===
In {{g|GO}}, damage is calculated differently due to different variables existing in the game.

:<math>Damage = Mushroom \times \left( \left\lfloor 0.5 \times Power \times \frac{Attack}{Defense} \times Modifier \right\rfloor + 1 \right)</math>

where

* ''Mushroom'' is 2 if there is an active [[Max Mushrooms|Max Mushroom]] and is 1 otherwise.
* ''Power'' is the power of the {{OBP|move|GO}} used
* ''Attack'' is the Attack {{OBP|stat|GO}} of the attacking Pokémon
* ''Defense'' is the Defense stat of the Pokémon being attacked
* For {{OBP|Shadow Pokémon|GO}}:
** <math>\times \tfrac{6}{5}</math> is applied to ''Attack''
** <math>\times \tfrac{5}{6}</math> is applied to ''Defense''

and

:<math>Modifier = Type \times STAB \times Weather \times Friendship \times Dodged \times Mega \times Trainer \times Charge \times Party \times Support \times Spread \times BehemothBlade \times BehemothBash \times Shield</math>

where

* ''Type'' is the {{DL|Type|Pokémon GO|type effectiveness}}, which is calculated differently in GO, using multipliers of base 1.6 instead of 2.
* ''STAB'' is the [[same-type attack bonus]]. This is equal to 1.2 if the move's [[type]] matches any of the user's types, and 1 if otherwise.
* The following variables are applied in {{OBP|Gym|GO}}, {{OBP|Raid Battle|GO}}s, and [[Max Battle|Max Battles]] only, and are 1 otherwise.
** ''Weather'' is 1.2 if the move used has a [[Weather#Pokémon GO|weather-boosted]] type, and 1 otherwise.
** ''Friendship'' is applied when battling with {{OBP|Friends|GO}} and varies depending on the Friendship level.
*** 1.03 if Good Friends
*** 1.05 if Great Friends
*** 1.07 if Ultra Friends
*** 1.1 if Best Friends
*** 1.12 if Forever Friends
*** 1 otherwise
** ''Dodged'' is 0.25 if the attack was successfully dodged, and 1 if otherwise.
*** Gym defenders and Raid Bosses will never dodge a player's attacks
** ''Mega'' is greater than 1 when there is one or more [[Mega Evolution|Mega-Evolved]] Pokémon on the battlefield.
*** 1.1 if none of the Mega-Evolved Pokémon have the same type as the move
*** 1.3 if one or more Mega-Evolved Pokémon have the same type as the move
** ''Party'' is 2 if the charge-move has been boosted by [[Party Play]], and 1 otherwise.
** ''BehemothBash'' is applied when the defender has the {{m|Behemoth Bash}} [[Adventure Effect|adventure effect]] and varies depending on the battlefield used
*** 0.9090909091 in {{OBP|Raid Battle|GO}}s
*** 0.9523809524 in [[Max Battle|Max Battle]]s
** ''BehemothBlade'' is applied when the attacker has the {{m|Behemoth Blade}} [[Adventure Effect|adventure effect]] and varies depending on the battlefield used
*** 1.1 in {{OBP|Raid Battle|GO}}s
*** 1.05 in [[Max Battle|Max Battle]]s
* The following variables are applied in {{OBP|Trainer Battle|GO}}s only, and are 1 otherwise.
** ''Trainer'' is 1.3 for all attacks used in a Trainer Battle.
** ''Charge'' is applied only for Charged Attacks, and its value depends on the player's score during the minigame. The possible ranges are
*** <math>Charge = 1</math> if ''"Excellent!"''
*** <math>Charge \in [0.75, 1)</math> if ''"Great!"''
*** <math>Charge \in [0.5, 0.75)</math> if ''"Nice!"''
*** <math>Charge \in [0.25, 0.5)</math> otherwise
** ''Shield'' is 0 if an attack was protected by a [[Protect Shield]], and is 1 otherwise.
* The following variable is applied in [[Max Battle|Max Battles]] only, and are 1 otherwise.
** ''Support'' is applied when there are Pokémon placed at the [[Power Spot (GO)|Power Spot]].
*** 1.1 if 1 Pokémon placed (1 support icon)
*** 1.15 if 2-3 Pokémon placed (2 support icons)
*** 1.188 if 4-14 Pokémon placed (3 support icons)
*** 1.2 if 15 or more Pokémon placed (4 support icons)
*** 1 otherwise
** ''Spread'' is 2 if the Max Battle Boss uses a single-target attack and is 1 otherwise.

By the damage formula, moves that have a power of 0 such as {{m|Splash}} and {{m|Yawn}} and moves shielded by [[Protect Shield|Protect Shields]] will always do 1 HP damage.

===Pokémon Masters EX===

==Trivia==
* In {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}, if the player's Pokémon deals over 33037 HP damage, the Pokémon will faint, but the HP bar will not be drained; if it deals exactly 33037 HP, the HP bar will be drained automatically.
* In [[Generation V]] onward, the amount of damage that can be dealt in a single attack is capped at 65535. In addition, an overflow can occur during the calculation of very high damage amounts, causing the actual damage dealt to be much lower than expected.<ref>https://www.smogon.com/forums/threads/ultra-sun-ultra-moon-battle-mechanics-research-read-post-2.3620030/page-9#post-7760159</ref>
* In Generations I through IV, due to integer truncation, the multiplier <math>\frac{\left( \frac{2 \times Level}{5} + 2\right)}{50}</math> in the damage calculation increased at levels ending in 0, 3, 5, or 8.
* In [[Pokémon Battle Revolution]], the HP bar will change with a different animation depending on the move's type (recovery, [[recoil]] damage, and indirect damage use the Normal-type animation), as shown below.

List of Pokémon by New Pokédex number

2026-07-12T18:16:45Z

Daniel Carrero: /* Trivia */

{{Samename|[[Generation IV]] version|List of Pokémon by Johto Pokédex number}}
{{Redirect|New Pokédex|the TCG card|New Pokédex (Neo Genesis 95)}}
{{merge|List of Pokémon by Johto Pokédex number}}
{{Shortcut|1|Newdex}}
[[File:Pokédex GSC.png|thumb|200px|left|[[Johto]] region's Pokédex (Generation II)]]
This is a list of {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} in the order dictated by the New Pokédex, one of the two [[Pokédex]] orders in {{game|Gold and Silver|s|Pokémon Gold, Silver}}, [[Pokémon Crystal Version|Crystal]], and {{pkmn|Stadium 2}} (along with the [[List of Pokémon by National Pokédex number|Old Pokédex]], which is based on the [[List of Pokémon by Kanto Pokédex number|Kanto Pokédex]] order).

It contains the same 251 Pokémon as the Old Pokédex, but with a different order that puts the [[Johto first partner Pokémon]] first, followed by other Pokémon that live in [[Johto]] and [[Kanto]]. Unlike the Old Pokédex, the New Pokédex order places all Pokémon with their evolutionary relatives (for example, {{p|Pichu}} comes directly before {{p|Pikachu}} and {{p|Raichu}}, and {{p|Scyther}} comes directly before {{p|Scizor}}).

This Pokédex order could be considered a precursor to the [[regional Pokédex]]es of later [[generation]]s and the [[List of Pokémon by habitat|habitat-based list]] of Pokémon from {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}. Unlike other regional Pokédexes, it includes all Pokémon from both Kanto and Johto, placing those that do not appear in Johto closer to the end. Furthermore, the New Pokédex differs from the later regional Pokédexes in that it includes Pokémon that are unobtainable in Pokémon Gold, Silver, and Crystal without events or [[trade|trading]] with a [[Generation I]] game (namely the {{p|Omanyte}} and {{p|Kabuto}} lines, the [[Kanto first partner Pokémon]], and the Kanto [[Legendary Pokémon]]), which was addressed in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} by making all non-[[Mythical Pokémon]] in its updated [[List of Pokémon by Johto Pokédex number|Johto Pokédex]] obtainable via normal gameplay.

Unlike later regional Pokédexes, this order is not referred to directly as the "Johto Pokédex" in-game in [[Generation II]], instead being titled '''New Pokédex Mode''' (Japanese: '''しんがたずかんモード''' ''new-style encyclopedia mode''), in contrast to the National Pokédex order being titled '''Old Pokédex Mode''' (Japanese: '''ふるいずかんモード''' ''old-style encyclopedia mode''), in addition to '''A to Z Mode''' (Japanese: '''アイウエオモード''' ''AIUEO mode'') and '''[[Unown Mode]]''' (Japanese: '''アンノーンずかん''' ''{{p|Unown|Unknown}} encyclopedia'').

In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, this ordering system, now explicitly referred to as the '''[[List of Pokémon by Johto Pokédex number|Johto Pokédex]]''', is updated to include five new [[Evolution]]s of the featured Pokémon ({{p|Yanmega}}, {{p|Ambipom}}, {{p|Lickilicky}}, {{p|Tangrowth}}, and {{p|Mamoswine}}), resulting in many Pokémon not having the same numbers. Up to #101 ({{p|Yanma}}), Pokémon Gold, Silver, and Crystal's New Pokédex and Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver's Johto Pokédex are identical; however, the two diverge at #102, which is {{p|Sunkern}} in the New Pokédex and Yanmega in the Johto Pokédex.

In Generation II, these numbers were rarely used in Pokémon media in favor of the Old Pokédex numbers. Despite the New Pokédex being available as a Pokédex order, its numbers are not displayed in-game.

==In the core series games==
In {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}, the player's [[Pokédex]] uses the New Pokédex order by default. However, the New Pokédex numbers are not shown anywhere in the games, with the [[List of Pokémon by National Pokédex number|Old Pokédex numbers]] being used instead.

In the New Pokédex Mode and A to Z Mode, the Pokédex numbers are omitted from the list. The Old Pokédex Mode is the only Pokédex mode that displays the numbers, but it lacks a scroll bar. Regardless of the Pokédex mode, the individual entries include the Old Pokédex numbers of each Pokémon.

==Trivia==
* The New Pokédex and [[List of Pokémon by Johto Pokédex number|its expanded form]] are the only regional Pokédexes to include all the Pokémon from multiple [[generation]]s, specifically all [[Generation I]] and {{gen|II}} Pokémon (although the expanded form also includes some Generation IV Pokémon).
* The New Pokédex was the last regional Pokédex to include all Pokémon that existed at the time.
* {{p|Celebi}} is the only Pokémon to have the same number (#251) in both the New Pokédex and the [[National Pokédex]].

Daniel Carrero:

{{translated title|lang=Portuguese}}
'''Super Card''' (Portuguese: '''Super Carta''') is a [[Pokémon in Brazil|Brazilian]] card game featuring [[Generation I]] Pokémon. It was released in 1999 by the Brazilian snacks company {{wp|Elma Chips}}, a subsidiary of {{wp|PepsiCo}}. This game involves Pokémon cards that were released in snack food packages.

==Gameplay==
According to the Super Card game trailer, the players compare the same power (Strength, Attack, Defense, or Agility). All players reveal their cards at once, a single card per player. Whoever has the highest value wins the other players' cards.

This game is similar to {{wp|Top Trumps}} or the Brazilian {{wp|Super Trunfo}}.

** The [[Gym guide]] states that Pryce has trained Pokémon for "some 50 years".
* [[Maximo]] is 30 years old as of {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}.

===Hoenn===
* Several character ages are mentioned in the {{DL|TV Mauville|Hoenn News Network}} from [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire]]:

* [[Aarune]] is 25 years old.
** He mentions his age in Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire:
**: ''"The name's Aarune. Put'er there. Unova-born and twenty-five years old."''
* [[Tabitha]] is 27 years old.

'''Emma''' (Japanese: '''マチエール''' ''Matiere'') is a character introduced in {{g|X and Y}}, playing a major role in the post-game side story as an orphaned young girl in [[Lumiose City]], who is found and taken care of by the detective [[Looker]]. In {{g|Legends: Z-A}}, she has inherited his role as the head of the [[Looker Bureau]], becoming known as the best detective in Lumiose City. She is the only character in the games to have the {{DL|Pokémon Trainer|Trainer class}}es '''Suspicious Woman''' (Japanese: '''あやしいおとな''' ''Suspicious Adult''), '''Suspicious Child''' (Japanese: '''あやしいこども''' ''Suspicious Child''), '''Suspicious Lady''' (Japanese: '''あやしいおねえさん''' ''Suspicious Miss''), and '''Detective''' (Japanese: '''探偵''' ''Detective'').

==In the core series games==
===Appearance===
====Pokémon X and Y====
In Pokémon X and Y, Emma is a young girl with tanned skin, blue eyes and black long hair that is tied into twin tails.

Her attire consists of a white shirt under a blue sweater with a yellow M-shaped patch on her right hip, an orange short skirt, black leggings with some gray patches, and orange Mary Jane shoes.

As Essentia, she wears a tight full body suit called the '''Expansion Suit'''. The suit is mostly black with orange shoulders. She wears a black full-head helmet with an orange visor covering her face. Parts of a visor glow a bright yellow in the shape of the letter E.

====Pokémon Legends: Z-A====
In Pokemon Legends: Z-A, 5 years later, Emma is now older and her hair is cut into a bobcut.

She now wears her Expansion Suit with the exception of the helmet all the time with a beige cropped trenchcoat over it. On the left side of her head is a yellow hair ornament shaped like an eye. Her [[Key Stone]] is embedded on her Expansion Suit's chest.

===History===
====[[Pokémon X and Y]]====
{{spoilers}}
[[File:Emma and Looker XY.png|left|250px|thumb|Looker offering Emma a place to stay]]
In X and Y, Emma is a young girl living in the dark alleyways of [[Lumiose City]] with her {{p|Espurr}} friend Mimi (Japanese: '''もこお''' ''Mokō''). She is initially an illiterate orphan who doesn't even have enough money to buy [[Poké Ball]]s. She meets Looker and the player during their first case, where concerned mothers reported that their children have been hanging out in suspicious alleyways. In reality, the children were playing with and protecting Emma and Mimi. Looker invites Emma to live at the [[Looker Bureau]] and work as his assistant. Though she is interested, Emma doesn't want to leave Mimi behind. Looker extends the invitation to Mimi as well, but Mimi is terrified of adults and runs off. After the player has found and befriended Mimi, Emma is much friendlier towards Looker and accepts his invitation, heading back to the Looker Bureau with him, Mimi, and the player. Emma then begins to learn how to read, write, and do basic arithmetic under Looker's tutelage.

During the following case, Emma returns to the Bureau to find a hysterical {{tc|Tourist}} angrily shouting insults in English (Japanese if the language is set to English) about Looker, who had left moments ago under the assumption that the woman wanted tea. Speaking in the language of the tourist, Emma defends Looker while Mimi translates their conversation telepathically for the player and Looker, revealing that the woman had her Pokémon stolen at the {{DL|North Boulevard|Lumiose Station}}. When Looker returns and learns of the situation, Emma tries to discourage him from helping the woman, but Looker insists that anyone in distress deserves their help and quickly leaves for the station. Emma then begs for the player to help Looker, revealing that he is defenseless because his [[Looker's Croagunk|only Pokémon]] died during a past case.
The culprits at the station turn out to be the {{tc|Lumiose Gang Member|Lumiose Gang}}, a trio of gangsters, who stole the Pokémon in order to lure Looker to their turf for a challenge. Emma had unintentionally become their boss after beating them in a fight, and they recognized her strength as leadership, but she stopped hanging around them once she took up residence at the Looker Bureau. Once the gangsters are defeated by the player, Emma shows up and demands that they return the stolen Pokémon and apologize to Looker.

Emma steadily grows worried that she and Mimi are a financial burden on Looker, though he assures her that they have enough money to get by and encourages her to focus on her studies. Still feeling guilty, Emma sets off to look for part-time work at a café that she saw was hiring. It turns out that the café was actually [[Lysandre Café]] and Emma was tricked into being a test subject for [[Xerosic]]'s invention, the Expansion Suit. This leads to her disappearing for long stretches of time, which worries Looker greatly.

When in the Expansion Suit, Emma is given the codename '''Essentia''' (Japanese: '''エスプリ''' ''Esprit''). The suit enhances her physical abilities to superhuman levels, gives her the ability to override a Poké Ball's programming, and allows her to change her appearance. While running his tests, Xerosic finds that Emma has no experience as a {{pkmn|Trainer}} and teaches her the basics, also allowing her to borrow his Pokémon. However, the Pokémon prefer playing with Emma instead of battling, which forces Xerosic to control the suit remotely. Emma falls unconscious while the remote-control function is engaged, and she has no memory of anything that happens while she is "asleep".

During her tests as Essentia, she behaves like a robot and follows Xerosic's every command. The first test has her sneak into the [[Lumiose Museum]] and vandalize a painting. Afterwards, she begins lurking in dark alleys and challenging unsuspecting people to battle, stealing their Poké Balls afterwards. This catches the attention of Looker, who works with the player to bait and catch the perpetrator. When she gets cornered, Mimi runs in, tipping Looker off to Essentia's true identity. Xerosic's control over the suit starts to malfunction after Essentia tries to attack Mimi, only to accidentally hurt Looker. Essentia flees the scene and the tests are temporarily suspended.

The following day, the player is sent to apprehend Xerosic at Lysandre Labs. After the player defeats Essentia in a series of battles, Looker arrives and demands that Xerosic release Emma. After the suit's remote-control function starts glitching again, Xerosic agrees, letting Emma go and allowing Looker to take him into custody.

After Xerosic is brought to justice, Looker reveals to Emma that he is a member of the [[International Police]] and that he must leave to continue his civic duty. However, he feels strongly towards Emma and in order to ensure that she has a bright future, purchases the entire building where Looker Bureau was located, and instructs Emma to use it however she sees fit. As the new head detective, Emma vows to keep Lumiose City safe with her identity as Essentia, using the suit and Pokémon that Xerosic gave her.

After completing the Looker storyline, the player can have a [[rematch]] with Emma in her Expansion Suit once per day on Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday. On Monday, Wednesday, Friday, and Sunday, she will not be wearing the Expansion Suit and talk about her duties as the head of the Looker Bureau.

==== [[Pokémon Legends: Z-A]] ====
Five years after Pokémon X and Y, Emma lives in [[Lumiose City]] and works as a detective. She is said to have inherited the head role at her detective agency in Lumiose, where the player assists her by tracking down missing Pokémon, locating lost items, and partaking in the occasional Pokémon battle. Her hair has been cut to a short bob, and she wears her Expansion Suit under a cropped trench coat. Her suit now has a [[Key Stone]] embedded in it.

===Pokémon===
====Pokémon X and Y====
During her time as Essentia, she used Xerosic's {{p|Crobat}} and {{p|Malamar}} alongside various other Pokémon stolen from Trainers for his experiment. After he was arrested, he left his own Pokémon in her care.

[[File:Emma anime.png|thumb|250px|Emma in {{aniseries|HZ}} during [[Episode: Mega Evolution]]]]
[[File:Emma anime 2.png|thumb|250px|Older Emma during [[Wonder Voyage]]]]
====History====
=====Pre-series=====
Emma grew up in the streets of [[Lumiose City]] and never knew either of her parents. One day, she met a man named [[Looker]], who took her in and taught her how to read and write. Eventually, Looker left Lumiose City and allowed Emma to keep living in the building in which he owned. At some point, Emma met a young boy named [[Ult]] who, much like herself, lived in the streets of Lumiose City and she kindly decided to invite him to live with her, while also teaching him how to read and write, just as Looker had done for herself.

=====''[[Episode: Mega Evolution]]''=====
Emma first appeared in ''[[HZ113|Mega Evolution - Ult]]'', where she hosted Ult and his friend [[Roy]] at her home, cooking them a feast and kindly encouraging Roy to enjoy it as much as he can. After Ult left to challenge the [[Roy's Lucario|Yellow Flash]], Emma shared his past with Roy and asked him to become friends with Ult, noticing that he's never cared about anyone as much as he did currently, which Roy gladly complied.

In ''[[HZ114|Mega Evolution - Bonds]]'', Emma said goodbye to Ult and Roy, during the farewell with Ult, Emma wished Ult a good trip and that he will always have a home with her, and that he is like family to her. With Roy, Emma thanked him for everything he did for Ult and then used Mimi to sense [[Captain Pikachu]]'s feelings for Roy and highlighted how much Roy was becoming like [[Friede]]. Some time later, Emma and Mimi found Roy's hat and placed it next to a picture of her with her Pokémon and Roy and Ult.

=====''[[Wonder Voyage]]''=====
At some point after Ult and Roy departed Lumiose City, Emma took in another orphaned girl she found on the streets named [[Navi]], teaching her how to read and write just like Ult and trained her as her assistant, gifting her a [[Dream Ball]] as well. Navi grew to greatly respect and idolize Emma, becoming determined to use the Dream Ball to one day catch her future partner Pokemon.

Emma reappeared in [[HZ142]], where she reunited with Roy and Ult, who introduced her to [[Liko]] and [[Dot]]. When Emma received a job of finding an old lady's missing {{p|Carbink}}, the young [[Rising Volt Tacklers]] volunteered to help with the case, which she agreed to. The missing Carbink was eventually found with [[Ivor]], who agreed to hand it over to Emma so that it could be returned to its rightful owner.
[[File:Emma and Ult.png|thumb|left|250px|Emma and Ult]]
====Appearance====
Her attire, as opposed to her counterpart's outfit from the games, which is covered in patches, consists of a white shirt with an orange tie, a blue jacket, an orange dress, black leggings and blue Mary Jane shoes. One year later in [[Wonder Voyage]], Emma was shown to have taken on her appearance in [[Pokémon Legends: Z-A]].

====Personality====
Emma is a very kind and good-natured young girl, allowing [[Ult]] to live with her and teaching him how to read and write, and finding his sharp-tongued demeanor quite amusing. She's also a good hostess, going to great lengths to make [[Roy]] feel welcomed at her home and even pushing herself a little too hard to serve him and Ult during dinner. Emma is also quite a klutz, almost dropping all of her plates (with the food still on) because of the heavy weight she was carrying. She's also quite forgetful, forgetting to mention to Roy that she dreamed of becoming a detective, so much so that her forgetful nature reminded [[Captain Pikachu]] of [[Friede]]. About [[HZ142|a year later]], Emma had become a recognized private investigator, known to some residents of [[Lumiose City]] and taking on cases to solve.

Due to living in the streets as a orphan, Emma had no knowledge of certain necessities, such as reading, writing, and how to study. However, Emma was able to learn through [[Looker]] as he took her in. Through Looker's kindness and compassion, Emma was inspired to do the same for those who grew up orphaned like herself, such as Ult and [[Navi]]. Emma even taught Ult and Navi the same necessities Looker did for her as well.

[[File:Lumiose Gang Adventures.png|thumb|200px|left|Emma as a member of the Lumiose Gang]]
[[File:Essentia Adventures.png|thumb|left|250px|Essentia in Pokémon Adventures]]
Emma debuted in ''[[PS560|Trevenant Pokes]]''. She was originally a normal child that lived with cruel parents, but ran away from home to live as a street urchin in the [[Lumiose City]] alleyways. She banded together with other children and Pokémon that had similar experiences, eventually forming the Lumiose Gang. Emma would later end up befriending [[Cassius]] and joined his group, but due to her lack of computer skills, she took on odd jobs to support her friends and avoid feeling like a burden.

Emma first appeared as Essentia at [[Shalour City]], where she attacked the [[Tower of Mastery]] to obtain the secrets of [[Mega Evolution]]. She attempted to steal the building by covering the surrounding area with her {{p|Trevenant}}'s roots. To prevent Mega Evolution from falling into the wrong hands, [[Korrina]] and [[Gurkinn]] were forced to activate the tower's self-destruct mechanism, destroying the building and allowing them to escape.

Emma debuted as herself in ''[[PS567|Morphing Manectric]]'', where she was introduced to {{adv|X}} and his friends. Emma traveled with Cassius and his gang as they traveled around [[Kalos]] maintaining the [[Pokémon Storage System]] in various places like the [[Battle Chateau]]. In ''[[PS572|Shooting Frogadier]]'', Cassius was informed that Emma went missing, which he noted had happened before.

In ''[[PS574|Tying Trevenant]]'', Essentia provided support for [[Celosia]], who used mind-controlled residents of [[Vaniville Town]] to move the dormant tree form of [[Xerxer|Xerneas]] to the [[Team Flare Secret HQ]]. X and his friends confronted the villains, but the former's attempt to Mega Evolve two of his Pokémon at once ended in failure, giving Essentia the opportunity to capture them. The heroes were freed by Gurkinn, who came to help alongside Korrina and [[Diantha]]. With the {{p|Gengar}} he received from Gurkinn, X defeated Essentia, forcing her to flee under Xerosic's orders.

In ''[[PS578|Gyarados Changes]]'', Emma followed X to [[Geosenge Town]] after finding out her {{p|Espurr|Mimi}} crawled into X's [[Kanga and Li'l Kanga|Kanga]]'s pouch. They went inside the Team Flare Secret HQ, but were separated when X stepped on a [[warp panel]] and was teleported away. Emma continued on by herself, eventually reaching the underground section. There, Emma found a very tall man named [[AZ]] locked in a jail cell and befriended him. In ''[[PS580|Flabébé Blooms]]'', {{adv|Trevor}}, {{adv|Tierno}}, and {{adv|Shauna}} managed to sneak inside the Secret HQ. After Emma introduced everyone to each other, Tierno freed AZ from his cell. The group headed towards the [[ultimate weapon]]'s control room, where they found that X failed to defeat [[Lysandre]], but was able to free Xerneas. Trevor, Tierno, and Shauna tried removing the ultimate weapon's key, but couldn't pull it out in time before it fired. To Lysandre's frustration, the combined efforts of X, his friends, and the [[Kalos]] [[Gym Leader]]s successfully weakened the ultimate weapon and prevented it from taking any innocent lives.

In ''[[PS581|Rhyhorn Charges]]'', AZ let himself be captured, buying time for Xerneas and allowing it to take Emma and the others back to the surface. Xerneas joined {{adv|Y}}'s team and was [[nickname]]d Xerxer. Y ordered Xerxer to destroy the ultimate weapon, but were interrupted by [[Malva]] and her {{p|Yveltal}}. Due to Xerneas and Yveltal being evenly matched, Xerosic announced that Lysandre ordered a ceasefire. Xerneas confirmed this and retreated, taking Y and the others with it.

In ''[[PS584|Hawlucha Attacks]]'', [[Professor Sycamore]] was attacked by a group of {{p|Hawlucha}} under Essentia's command. When X's group rescued the professor, they realized the Hawlucha had a Trainer and went around to find them. Upon being found by Y, Essentia used her suit's Poké Ball Jack function to take control of Y's Xerxer. X and Y fought with their Mega-Evolved Pokémon, but the battle was interrupted by the arrival of {{adv|Zygarde}}, who aimed to suppress Xerxer's power. While Zygarde charged itself with the power of nature, it was left defenseless, giving Essentia the chance to catch it, losing control of Xerxer in the process. Essentia fled, but the repeated damage to her suit prevented Xerosic from being able to communicate with or control her.

In ''[[PS590|Yveltal Steals]]'', Lysandre summoned Essentia and Zygarde to battle X, {{adv|Blue}}, and {{adv|Blaine}} at the [[Pokémon Village]]. With a remote control device designed by Xerosic, Lysandre controlled Essentia's body like a puppet instead of her usual AI and forced her to command Zygarde's attacks. While Zygarde fought {{adv|Mewtwo}}, X decided to take out Essentia to stop her from controlling it. He had [[Marisso]] attack Essentia, shattering her helmet, only to be horrified to learn it was Emma in the suit. X tried to help Emma out of the suit, but she refused, noting how the suit made her feel safe and protected. When asked if defeating Team Flare would make people treat Emma better, X was left speechless.

In ''[[PS592|Zygarde Agitated]]'', X told Emma that despite how hard life is, she still has people who care about her. Hearing X's words, Emma became encouraged to fight Lysandre, but she was still under his control. Cassius arrived and destroyed the remote, freeing Emma. Before Emma could give a command to Zygarde, she was attacked by Lysandre, who took Zygarde's Poké Ball and used it to send everyone flying away. Emma and Cassius survived, but were left unable to continue fighting.

In ''[[PS593|Xerneas Gives]]'', after the defeat of Team Flare, Cassius gave X and his friends a ride back to Lumiose City. After they arrived, Emma and Cassius waved X's group goodbye as they parted ways.

Due to its typing, Korrina's Mega {{TP|Korrina|Lucario}} was unable to do any damage to it. When Trevenant began covering the tower in its roots, Gurkinn and Korrina destroyed the tower to protect it from being taken by Essentia. While overseeing the plan to move {{p|Xerneas}} to Team Flare's base, Trevenant was used to patrol the forest and keep out any intruders. There, it battled X and Y and managed to defeat them both by binding them and their Pokémon with the forest's plants. After being freed, X fought Trevenant with his newly-obtained {{p|Gengar}}, Garma. By Mega Evolving Garma into Mega Gengar, Trevenant was easily defeated.

During her battle against Y, Emma used a single Hawlucha to battle her. By throwing stones, it managed to knock Y out of the air.

==Trivia==
* A replica of Emma's Expansion Suit helmet can be bought from [[Atticus]] at [[Porto Marinada]] in {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}.
* The yellow hairclip that Emma sports in her {{g|Legends: Z-A}} appearance resembles the organs found under an {{p|Espurr}}'s ears.
* In Pokémon Legends: Z-A, Emma implies that her {{p|Malamar}} is the same one [[Xerosic]] gave her five years earlier,<ref>'''Emma:''' "I'll be using Pokémon that were given to me by a man who played an important role in my life. Malamar, everyone, let's go!" ({{g|Legends: Z-A}})</ref> although it is a lower level than its latest appearance in {{g|X and Y}}.
** This can also be extended to the {{p|Crobat}} she uses in a [[Multi Battle]] during [[Mission (Legends: Z-A)#Side missions|Side Mission 155: "Hyperspatial Scuffle vs. Team Flare Nouveau"]] being the same one given to her by Xerosic.
* Emma, [[Urbain]]/[[Taunie]], and [[Korrina]] are the only non-player characters in the core series to have used multiple [[Mega Evolution|Mega-Evolved]] Pokémon in a single battle.
** All Pokémon in Emma's [[party]] have a Mega Evolution each, a trait she shares with Korrina. However, unlike Korrina, she does not Mega Evolve all of them.

A '''Swimmer''' is a type of [[Pokémon Trainer]]. Male Swimmers are referred to as '''Swimmer ♂''' (Japanese: '''かいパンやろう''' ''Swimsuit Guy''; in [[Generation I]], also known as '''かいパン''' ''Swimsuit'') and debuted in [[Generation I]]; female Swimmers are referred to as '''Swimmer ♀''' (Japanese: '''ビキニのおねえさん''' ''Bikini Lady'') and debuted in [[Generation II]]. From Generations II to IV, the Trainer classes were formatted as '''Swimmer♂''' and '''Swimmer♀'''. Swimmers specialize in {{type|Water}} Pokémon. They are usually found in the sea.

When female Swimmers are paired with male {{tc|Tuber}}s in [[Double Battle]]s, they are called {{tc|Sis & Bro}}s. Pairs of one male and one female Swimmer are known as {{tc|Swimmers}}, while a pair of two female Swimmers is known as {{tc|Swimmer Girls}}.

In {{pkmn|FireRed and LeafGreen}}, {{tc|Beauty|Beauties}} from Generation I games on [[water route]]s were replaced with Swimmer♀. In [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!|Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]] they remained Beauties like in Pokémon Yellow, but the Beauties who appear on these routes wear swimsuits.

In {{pkmn|Sun and Moon|Sun, Moon}}, {{pkmn|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Ultra Sun, Ultra Moon}}, {{pkmn|Sword and Shield|Sword, and Shield}}, they keep their Pokémon in [[Dive Ball]]s.

In [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!|Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], Swimmers will award three {{i|Poké Ball}}s along with [[prize money]] upon being defeated.

==Appearance==
The male Swimmers are often depicted as slim or muscular men wearing swimming trunks or speedos. Their appearances from [[Generation I]] to [[Generation VI]] have them wear swimming hats and goggles. The female Swimmers are often depicted as slim young women wearing bikinis and sometimes carrying beach balls.

[[File:Woman's secret meme.png|thumb|right|180px|Woman's secret meme (edited screenshot)]]
* Because of the lack of female Swimmers, female Trainers encountered on water routes in [[Generation I]] are of the {{tc|Beauty}} and {{tc|Picnicker|Jr. Trainer♀}} classes. Female Swimmers use unique models in [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], but are still referred to as Beauties.
* For the first time in [[Generation V]], male Swimmers are depicted with swim shorts in a Japanese release. In previous games, they were depicted wearing swim briefs, which would sometimes be changed into swim shorts for international releases.
* In [[Pokémon GO]], "Swimmer" is the name of an achievement {{GO|medal}} awarded for catching at least 10 {{type|Water}} Pokémon.
* In [[Pokémon Champions]], the titles of "Swimmer" and "Swim Trunks Guy" are awarded for winning ten battles using {{type|Water}} Pokémon.
** "Swim Trunks Guy" is a more literal translation of the Japanese name of the male Swimmer trainer class.
* The male and blond female swimmers from Alola were designed by [[TOKIYA]].<ref name=twitter> TOKIYA's deleted tweet [https://web.archive.org/web/20170613214429/https://twitter.com/TOKIYA/status/801625547100958720]</ref>
* As a recurring theme, some female Swimmers mention the practical problems of storing Poké Balls, including Aubree<ref>''"When I'm in my bikini, I'm at a loss about where to carry my Poké Balls!"'' - Swimmer Aubree in [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Versions|Pokémon Diamond, Pearl]], [[Pokémon Platinum Version|Platinum]], [[Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl|Brilliant Diamond, and Shining Pearl]]</ref> on {{rt|223|Sinnoh}},{{sup/4|DPPt}}{{sup/8|BDSP}} Joyce on {{rt|17|Unova}},{{sup/5|BW}} and Shelby<ref>''"It’s tough fetching Poké Balls from my bikini!"'' - Swimmer Shelby in {{game|Sun and Moon|s|Pokémon Sun, Moon}}, {{game|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|s|Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon}}</ref> on [[Melemele Sea]].{{sup/7|SMUSUM}}
** Among Pokémon fans, an edited screenshot has been circulating in which a female Swimmer says: ''"If I'm wearing a bikini... where do I put my Pokéballs? Teehee... woman's secret!"'' This quote is not from the English games. Instead, it is actually a fan translation of the Japanese post-battle dialogue said by Swimmer Joyce on Route 17: 「ビキニの　わたしが　どこに　モンスターボールを　しまうのか？　フフフ……　{{ruby|女|おんな}}の　{{ruby|秘密|ひみつ}}よ」 (''Where in my bikini do I store my Poké Ball(s)? Fufufu... Woman's secret!''). In the official English localization, she says: ''"I'm a girl with everything... Well, everything but a place to put my Poké Balls!"''

Daniel Carrero: /* Related articles */

[[File:Lapras aging.png|thumb|220px|Comparison between [[Ash's Lapras]]'s younger and older appearances]]
{{OBP|Pokémon|species}} have occasionally been shown at different ages or to have aged over time in various [[Pokémon]] media, most notably with appearances of particularly young and old Pokémon.

Aging is usually indepedent of [[Evolution]], as some unevolved Pokémon have been shown to visibly grow older without evolving.

==In the core series games==
===Pokédex entries===
Some [[Pokédex entry|Pokédex entries]] mention how a Pokémon changes as it grows up:

* {{p|Paras}} has no mushrooms as an infant. They emerge as Paras matures and grow along with Paras.
* {{p|Squirtle}}'s shell forms and hardens after it is born.
* {{p|Vulpix}} is born with one tail, which splits into more tails as it grows.

==In the spin-off games==
===Pokémon Puzzle League===
* In [[Pokémon Puzzle League]], {{Tracey}}'s [[Tracey's Scyther|elderly Scyther]] is one of the Pokémon in his team.

==In animation==
===''Pokémon the Series''===
===={{aniseries|OS}}====
* [[Puka]] is an old {{p|Pikachu}} that appeared in ''[[EP067|The Pi-Kahuna]]''. He also appeared younger in a flashback from 20 years before.
* [[Ash's Lapras]] debuted in ''[[EP084|The Lost Lapras]]'', where it was caught as a young Lapras. In ''[[EP113|Viva Las Lapras]]'', the [[Lapras herd]] is seen, including the mother of Ash's Lapras. In ''[[EP257|Lapras of Luxury]]'', it was revealed that Ash's Lapras eventually matured into an adult and became the leader of the Lapras herd.
* {{Tracey}}'s {{TP|Tracey|Scyther}}, which debuted in ''[[EP097|Tracey Gets Bugged]]'', is shown to be elderly, losing the leadership of its herd to a younger Scyther.
* {{OBP|Mewtwo|M01}} from ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'' appeared younger when it was still in the cloning tube and communicated telepathically with {{an|Amber|Ambertwo}} in ''[[The Uncut Story of Mewtwo's Origin]]''. Mewtwo was fully grown when it first emerged from the tube.

A '''Swimmer''' is a type of [[Pokémon Trainer]]. Male Swimmers are referred to as '''Swimmer ♂''' (Japanese: '''かいパンやろう''' ''Swimsuit Guy''; in [[Generation I]], also known as '''かいパン''' ''Swimsuit'') and debuted in [[Generation I]]; female Swimmers are referred to as '''Swimmer ♀''' (Japanese: '''ビキニのおねえさん''' ''Bikini Lady'') and debuted in [[Generation II]]. From Generations II to IV, the Trainer classes were formatted as '''Swimmer♂''' and '''Swimmer♀'''. Swimmers specialize in {{type|Water}} Pokémon. They are usually found in the sea.

When female Swimmers are paired with male {{tc|Tuber}}s in [[Double Battle]]s, they are called {{tc|Sis & Bro}}s. Pairs of one male and one female Swimmer are known as {{tc|Swimmers}}, while a pair of two female Swimmers is known as {{tc|Swimmer Girls}}.

In {{pkmn|FireRed and LeafGreen}}, {{tc|Beauty|Beauties}} from Generation I games on [[water route]]s were replaced with Swimmer♀. In [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!|Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]] they remained Beauties like in Pokémon Yellow, but the Beauties who appear on these routes wear swimsuits.

In {{pkmn|Sun and Moon|Sun, Moon}}, {{pkmn|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Ultra Sun, Ultra Moon}}, {{pkmn|Sword and Shield|Sword, and Shield}}, they keep their Pokémon in [[Dive Ball]]s.

In [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!|Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], Swimmers will award three {{i|Poké Ball}}s along with [[prize money]] upon being defeated.

==Appearance==
The male Swimmers are often depicted as slim or muscular men wearing swimming trunks or speedos. Their appearances from [[Generation I]] to [[Generation VI]] have them wear swimming hats and goggles. The female Swimmers are often depicted as slim young women wearing bikinis and sometimes carrying beach balls.

* Because of the lack of female Swimmers, female Trainers encountered on water routes in [[Generation I]] are of the {{tc|Beauty}} and {{tc|Picnicker|Jr. Trainer♀}} classes. Female Swimmers use unique models in [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], but are still referred to as Beauties.
* For the first time in [[Generation V]], male Swimmers are depicted with swim shorts in a Japanese release. In previous games, they were depicted wearing swim briefs, which would sometimes be changed into swim shorts for international releases.
* In [[Pokémon GO]], "Swimmer" is the name of an achievement {{GO|medal}} awarded for catching at least 10 {{type|Water}} Pokémon.
* In [[Pokémon Champions]], the titles of "Swimmer" and "Swim Trunks Guy" are awarded for winning ten battles using {{type|Water}} Pokémon.
** "Swim Trunks Guy" is a more literal translation of the Japanese name of the male Swimmer trainer class.

** Among Pokémon fans, an edited screenshot has been circulating in which a female Swimmer says: ''"If I'm wearing a bikini... where do I put my Pokéballs? Teehee... woman's secret!"'' This quote is not from the English games. Instead, it is actually a fan translation of the Japanese post-battle dialogue said by Swimmer Joyce on Route 17: 「ビキニの　わたしが　どこに　モンスターボールを　しまうのか？　フフフ……　{{ruby|女|おんな}}の　{{ruby|秘密|ひみつ}}よ」 (''Where in my bikini do I store my Poké Ball(s)?

'''Mirror Move''' (Japanese: '''オウムがえし''' ''Parrot Mimicry'') is a non-damaging {{type|Flying}} [[move]] introduced in [[Generation I]].

==Effect==
Mirror Move reuses the last used move of a certain Pokémon in battle. A move called by Mirror Move in this way counts as the last move used.

A Pokémon will be able to use a move that is {{m|disable}}d if it is called via Mirror Move.

Pokémon being unable to move (e.g. due to {{status|paralysis}}, {{status|confusion}}, [[:Category:Moves that require recharging|recharging]], etc.) do not impact the last move used. The [[:Category:Moves with a charging turn|charging turn]] of a multi-turn move does not impact the last move used.

===Generation I to IV===
{{MoveResearch|Test if in Stadium 2 (much like in GSC), Mirror Move always fails when used by a transformed Pokémon. Account for moves that Mirror Move's "memory" ignores, such as {{m|Role Play}}, in each generation (refer to [http://www.smogon.com/dp/articles/move_restrictions#mirror Smogon] for Gen IV). And any other things Smogon mentions that aren't accounted here. Also, check whether this line applies to both [[Pokémon Stadium (Japanese)]] and the international [[Pokémon Stadium]]: "In Pokémon Stadium, Mirror Move will copy multi-turn moves during either of the turns they take to execute."}}

Mirror Move uses the last move targeted at the user by a Pokémon still on the field. Moves that target multiple Pokémon count as long as the user of Mirror Move is one of the targets.

Mirror Move will fail if no moves were targeted at the user (by a Pokémon still on the field) before the use of Mirror Move, if the user of the move that would be called by Mirror Move switches out during the turn Mirror Move is used, or if Mirror Move would call itself, a [[Shadow move]], or a [[Z-Move]]. In [[Generation II]] only, Mirror Move will also always fail when used by a {{m|transform}}ed Pokémon.

In Pokémon Stadium, Mirror Move will copy multi-turn moves during either of the turns they take to execute.

===Generation V to VII===
Mirror Move now targets a specific Pokemon on the field, and copies the move most recently used by that Pokémon (regardless of its target). The copied move targets that same target if possible (e.g. if targeting an ally, a copied {{m|Tackle}} will target that same ally, but a copied {{m|Rock Slide}} will be used on both opponents as it cannot target allies).

If powered up by a [[Flyinium Z]] into Z-Mirror Move, the user's {{stat|Attack}} stat rises by two stages. Additionally, the copied move will become its corresponding [[Z-Move]]. If the copied move is a [[status move]], it will not receive its [[Z-Power]] effect.

===Generation VIII onwards===
Mirror Move cannot be selected in a battle.

==In other games==
===[[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series]]===
In the [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team|Rescue Team]], [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness|Explorers]] and [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon (WiiWare)|Adventure Squad]] series, Mirror Move gives the user the {{DL|Status condition (Mystery Dungeon)|Mirror Move}} status, which causes all enemy moves targeting it to be reflected back at the attacker instead, without being affected by them. Mirror Move only reflects the effect the move would have on the user, rather than its usage; for example, moves with multiple targets will still hit the other original targets. Mirror Move does not return regular attacks, if the attacker is not adjacent, if the move has already been bounced back, or if it was cutting a corner. The status lasts for 2-5 turns.

From [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Gates to Infinity|Gates to Infinity]] onward, Mirror Move instead targets an enemy in front and uses the enemy's last used move against them. Mirror Move fails if there is no move to copy.

==Trivia==
*Despite Mirror Move not being directly related to flying, its Japanese name, オウムがえし (Parrot Mimicry), explains why the move is [[Flying-type]] and why most Pokémon that learn it are bird-based.
*Despite being unusable as of [[Generation VIII]], moves are still programmed to be affected by Mirror Move in later games.

Remake

[[File:Brendan May ORAS Trailer.png|thumb|250px|{{ga|May}} and {{ga|Brendan}} in the {{pkmn|Omega Ruby and Pokémon Alpha Sapphire Animated Trailer|trailer}} of the {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}} remakes]]
A '''remake''' is a game or movie that is made again.

In Pokémon, five pairs of [[core series]] {{pkmn|games}} and one spin-off game are remakes. They generally have updated graphics, music, sound effects, and gameplay:

* {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} (2004), [[Generation III]] remakes of the [[Generation I]] games {{game|Red and Green|s}} (1996);
* {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} (2009), [[Generation IV]] remakes of the [[Generation II]] games {{game|Gold and Silver|s}} (1999);
* {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}} (2014), [[Generation VI]] remakes of the [[Generation III]] games {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}} (2002);
* {{LGPE}} (2018), [[Generation VII]] remakes of the Generation I game {{game3|Yellow|Pokémon Yellow Version: Special Pikachu Edition}} (1998).
* {{g|Mystery Dungeon: Rescue Team DX}} (2020), a [[Generation VIII]] remake of the Generation III games {{g|Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team}} (2005).
* {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}} (2021), [[Generation VIII]] remakes of the Generation IV games {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}} (2006).

There is one movie remake:

===Remake game titles===
The names of remakes of [[core series]] games are generally derived from the names of the original source games, with a modifier word attached to the front. For instance {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} are remakes of {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}.

In the case of the first core series game remakes, {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, their titles are derived from the Japan-only pair of games {{game|Red and Green|s}} (which had been adapted in English as {{game|Red and Blue|s}}).

The exception to this is {{LGPE}}, which are a pair of games based on a single {{DL|Core series|release model|upper version}} game, so only the title of one of them (Let's Go, Pikachu!) is derived from the original game's Japanese title, since {{game|Yellow}} is known as "Pokémon Pikachu" in Japan.

In the case of FireRed, LeafGreen, HeartGold, and SoulSilver, the original titles and the preceding words are joined without a space. In the case of Omega Ruby, Alpha Sapphire, Brilliant Diamond, and Shining Pearl, those words are separated by a space. Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee! are the only core series games titles with multiple preceding words (Let's Go,) added to each game title.

In the case of Rescue Team DX, as a single game based on a pair of games, the colored signifier was cut; DX was added to signify the game's new status as a remake.

==Changes==
In addition to graphical updates, remakes introduce new features. The script is retranslated for localizations. The remakes in the first six [[generation]]s also include all Pokémon and [[move]]s in the generation they are remade in.

* The {{Berries}} from Pokémon GO have been added, with some of their effects being altered.

* Many minor changes to various dungeons, such as [[Oddity Cave]] becoming accessible after completing [[Mt. Steel]], the [[Friend Bow]] moving to the end of [[Solar Cave]], and {{p|Mewtwo}}'s dungeon—[[Western Cave]]—being reduced from 99 floors to 20.

==Impact on other media==
===Animation===
[[File:Steven Stone anime XY.png|thumb|250px|Steven Stone in {{aniseries|XY}}]]
====''Pokémon the Series''====
Due to the release of {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, in {{aniseries|Ruby and Sapphire}}, {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} traveled back to [[Kanto]] to compete in the {{gdis|Battle Frontier|III}} (also a reference to {{game|Emerald}}) and Kanto [[Pokémon Contest]]s. However, its influence can be seen as early as ''[[AG071|A Six Pack Attack!]]'', where {{an|Professor Oak}} visits from Kanto and brings a {{p|Bulbasaur}}, {{p|Charmander}}, and {{p|Squirtle}}, and ''[[AG073|Grass Hysteria!]]'', where {{an|May}} catches a {{TP|May|Bulbasaur}}.

Due to the release of {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, several references to those games appeared in {{aniseries|DP}}, such as the [[Pokéathlon]] in ''[[DP160|A Marathon Rivalry!]]'', the [[Johto Festival]] introducing several in-game [[Key Item]]s, Ash's main rival being [[Paul]] who resembles {{ga|Silver}} in many ways, {{an|Lyra}} temporarily journeying with the gang and her attempt in participating in the Johto League, about half of the Johto Gym Leaders reappearing with their redesigns, and several main characters obtaining Pokémon in the [[List of Pokémon by Johto Pokédex number|Johto Pokédex]] like [[Dawn's Quilava]] or with a [[List of cross-generational evolutionary lines|cross-generational Evolution line]] like [[Ash's Gliscor]] he caught as a {{p|Gligar}}.

With the debut of {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, several references appeared during {{aniseries|XY}}. [[Sawyer]], originally from the [[Hoenn]] region, was introduced as Ash's new rival and is first shown to have a {{TP|Sawyer|Treecko}} and a {{DL|Sawyer|Salamence|Bagon}}. A [[Mega Evolution|Mega]] {{TP|Nurse Joy|Audino}} and its [[Audinite|respective]] [[Mega Stone]] also made an appearance in ''[[XY096|A Giga Battle with Mega Results!]]'', under the ownership of [[Nurse Joy]].

Many [[Mega Evolution#Introduced in Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire|newly introduced Mega Evolutions]] were seen in ''[[XYS02|Mega Evolution Special II]]''. [[Steven Stone]], in his new design, and his {{Shiny}} Mega {{TP|Steven|Metagross}} also made an appearance along with Mega {{p|Rayquaza}} in the aforementioned special. Both Pokémon reappeared in ''[[XYS03|Mega Evolution Special III]]'' with the inclusion of [[Primal Reversion|Primal]] {{p|Groudon}} and Primal {{p|Kyogre}}. [[Rustboro City]] made a reappearance in the aforementioned special but was first mentioned in the former. Ahead of the games' release, Mega {{p|Diancie}} debuted in ''[[M17|Diancie and the Cocoon of Destruction]]''. Primal Groudon and Primal Kyogre also made an appearance in ''[[M18|Hoopa and the Clash of Ages]]'' with Mega {{p|Latios}}, Mega {{p|Latias}} and a Shiny Mega Rayquaza. Also, a Mega {{p|Glalie}}, Mega {{p|Steelix}}, Mega {{p|Salamence}}, Mega {{p|Beedrill}}, Mega {{p|Pidgeot}}, Mega {{p|Swampert}}, Mega {{p|Camerupt}} and Mega {{p|Sharpedo}} made an appearance in ''[[M19|Volcanion and the Mechanical Marvel]]''. Steven reappeared in the main series in a flashback in ''[[XY133|Coming Apart at the Dreams!]]'' and in person in ''[[XY134|The Right Hero for the Right Job!]]'', ''[[XY135|Rocking Kalos Defenses!]]'' and ''[[XY136|Forming a More Perfect Union!]]''. Steven helped Ash, Alain, [[Diantha]] and the Kalos [[Gym Leader]]s defeat Team Flare's [[Giant Rock]], first appeared in ''Mega Evolution Special II'' as a huge stone that contains huge amounts of Primal energy. At the end of ''Pokémon the Series: XY'', {{an|Serena}} decided to travel to Hoenn and compete in [[Pokémon Contest]]s to improve her skills.

Several references to {{LGPE}} appeared in {{aniseries|SM}}. In ''[[SM091|A Plethora of Pikachu!]]'', before the games' release, several of the Pikachu that appeared within the [[Pikachu Valley]] sported hairstyles similar to the ones players could give their [[Partner Pokémon (Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!)|partner]] Pikachu and {{p|Eevee}}. From ''[[SM093|Lillier and the Staff!]]'' to ''[[SM098|Bright Lights, Big Changes!]]'', a series of shorts called [[Where Are You Going, Eevee?]] aired, which focused on [[Sandy|a wild Eevee]] and its journey, before finally meeting Ash and his friends. In ''[[SM099|We Know Where You're Going, Eevee!]]'', which was broadcast after the games release, the wild Eevee was captured by {{an|Lana}}, who [[nickname]]d it "Sandy". Furthermore, she cut its unruly hair into one of the styles used on the partner Pokémon in the game. A group of {{p|Meltan}}, a Pokémon species introduced in Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!, debuted in ''[[SM106|Evolving Research!]]'', with [[Ash's Meltan|one of them]] getting caught by Ash in ''[[SM112|Got Meltan?]]''.

References to {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}} have appeared in {{aniseries|JN}}. In ''[[JN074|Nightfall? Nightmares!]]'' and ''[[JN075|A Midsummer Night's Light!]]'', Ash, [[Goh]], and [[Chloe]] visited the Sinnoh region, and {{an|Dawn}} reappeared, with Goh and Chloe meeting her for the first time. During these episodes, they intervened in Team Rocket's attempts to capture {{p|Cresselia}} and {{p|Darkrai}}. In ''[[JN077|Ultra Exciting from the Shocking Start!]]'', Ash had a rematch with [[Volkner]] in the [[World Coronation Series]], with the episode later revealing that Sinnoh Champion {{an|Cynthia}} is a member of the Master Class. Cynthia herself appeared in ''[[JN083|Star Night, Star Flight!]]'', intervening in a mysterious situation involving {{p|Unown}}. In ''[[JN089|The Gates of Warp!]]'' and ''[[JN090|Showdown at the Gates of Warp!]]'', Ash, Goh, and Chloe visited Sinnoh and met up with Dawn and Cynthia once more, and were forced to solve an interdimensional crisis involving {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Palkia}}. While ''[[Pokémon: The Arceus Chronicles]]'' is a tie-in with {{g|Legends: Arceus}}, it also features the return of [[Team Galactic]] {{tc|Commander}}s [[Saturn]], [[Mars]], and [[Jupiter]], as well as a reappearance of {{an|Brock}} and the two Pokémon he caught in Sinnoh, {{TP|Brock|Croagunk}} and the newly evolved {{TP|Brock|Blissey}}.

===Manga===
Generally, only long-running [[Pokémon manga]] series are affected by remakes, considering most series begin and end within the time frame of one generation.

====Pocket Monsters HeartGold & SoulSilver Go! Go! Pokéathlon====
A manga titled [[Pocket Monsters HeartGold & SoulSilver Go! Go! Pokéathlon]] was created at the time of {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}'s Japanese release. It features the [[Pokéathlon]], a new feature added to the remake games.

====Pocket Monsters HGSS Jō's Big Adventure====
A single-volume manga, [[Pocket Monsters HGSS Jō's Big Adventure]], was released concurrently with the games {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, which it takes its name from. It features the adventures of a Trainer named [[Jō]] in his travels through the [[Johto]] and [[Kanto]] regions, following the storyline of the games.

====Pokémon Adventures====
[[File:FRLG chapter.png|thumb|250px|{{MangaArc|FireRed & LeafGreen}}]]
In the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga, the {{MangaArc|FireRed & LeafGreen}}, {{MangaArc|HeartGold & SoulSilver}}, and {{MangaArc|Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire}} return the focus of the story back toward characters introduced in older chapters (the {{MangaArc|Red, Green & Blue}}/{{MangaArc|Yellow}}, {{MangaArc|Gold, Silver & Crystal}}, and {{MangaArc|Ruby & Sapphire}}/{{MangaArc|Emerald}}, respectively). However, instead of focusing on the whole region like the originals, the main plot of the remake chapters generally focuses on events and places which were new to the enhanced remakes of their game counterparts. ''FireRed & LeafGreen'' focuses on the Sevii Islands, ''HeartGold & SoulSilver'' focuses on the Pokéathlon, the new [[Johto Safari Zone]], and the [[Sinjoh Ruins]], and ''Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire'' focuses on the events of the [[Delta Episode]].

====Pokémon Chamo-Chamo ☆ Pretty ♪====
In the [[Pokémon Chamo-Chamo ☆ Pretty ♪]] manga, there are several bonus chapters focusing on characters from [[Magical Pokémon Journey]]. As a Generation III sequel of the Magical Pokémon Journey series, this manga was being speculated by fans as a first hint for the remakes of {{game|Red and Green|s}} (later was named as {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}).

====Pokémon Ruby-Sapphire====
In the [[Pokémon Ruby-Sapphire]] manga, which is based on the [[Generation III]] games of the same name, some of the chapters in {{Vol|Pokémon Ruby-Sapphire|3}} revolve around Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen. This includes a character named {{OBP|Red|Ruby-Sapphire}}, who is designed based on {{ga|Red}}'s appearance in the remakes; and a character named {{OBP|Blue|Ruby-Sapphire}}, who is based on {{ga|Green}}'s appearance.

Following the Pokémon Ruby-Sapphire series, the manga began a trend of rebooting its numbering and naming system with the release of each [[core series]] game. After the end of [[Generation III]] and the Ruby-Sapphire series, the manga's story continued with {{OBP|Pocket Monsters DP|Kosaku Anakubo}}, which led the main characters to [[Sinnoh]]. When the Generation II remakes {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} were released, the series once again rebooted with {{OBP|Pocket Monsters HGSS|Kosaku Anakubo}}, which led the main characters back to [[Johto]]; which they had previously visited during the original [[Pokémon Pocket Monsters]] series.

====Pokémon 4Koma Encyclopedia====
The {{OBP|Pokémon 4Koma Encyclopedia|Generation III}} manga was released around the time of {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}. It is five volumes in total and has comics featuring each Pokémon in the [[National Pokédex]] up to the end of [[Generation III]]. The volumes feature artwork of {{ga|Red}} as he appears in FireRed and LeafGreen.

===TCG===
In the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]], the {{TCG|EX FireRed & LeafGreen}} expansion was inspired by and released concurrently with the {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} video games.

Likewise, the {{TCG|HeartGold & SoulSilver}}, {{TCG|Unleashed}}, {{TCG|Undaunted}} and {{TCG|Triumphant}} expansions correspond with the {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} video games.

{{TCG|Primal Clash}} was the primary expansion that corresponds with the {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}} video games. {{TCG|Roaring Skies}}, {{TCG|Ancient Origins}}, {{TCG|BREAKthrough}}, and {{TCG|BREAKpoint}} featured [[Mega Evolution]]s introduced in Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire and also introduced {{p|Hoopa}}.

The {{TCG|Team Up}} and {{TCG|Unbroken Bonds}} expansions correspond with [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], primarily featuring Generation I Pokémon.

One of the {{TCG|S-P Promotional cards}}, {{OBP|Rescue Team DX's Pikachu|S-P Promo 36|Rescue Team DX's Pikachu}}, was released as part of a purchase campaign to Japanese customers who bought {{g|Mystery Dungeon: Rescue Team DX}} and Pokémon Card game products at participating Geo stores.

==Trivia==
* Some remakes have several unique distinctions:
** {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} are the only remakes:
*** To originally be released for a [[Game Boy Advance|platform]] that could also play their original games via backwards compatibility.
**** However, the [[Nintendo 3DS]] can play {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} via backwards compatibility as well as {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}} as [[Virtual Console]] titles. Also, the [[Nintendo Switch]] and [[Nintendo Switch 2]] can play [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Rescue Team DX]] natively and via backwards compatibility respectively as well as [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team]] via the [[Nintendo Switch Online]] service.
*** Not to incorporate any features from the upper version of the original games. However, [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]] were remakes of the upper version itself, while [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team]] did not have an upper version.
** {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} are the only remakes which did not include a [[type]] that did not exist in the original games. Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen included the {{t|Dark}} and {{t|Steel}} types, which did not exist in [[Generation I]]; and {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!, {{g|Mystery Dungeon: Rescue Team DX}}, and {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}} included the {{t|Fairy}} type, which did not exist in Generations I, {{gen|III}}, and {{gen|IV}}.
** [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]] are the only remakes:
*** To introduce new Pokémon.
*** To be based on an upper version.
** [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Rescue Team DX]] is the only remake:
*** Of [[Spin-off Pokémon games]].
*** To not be a paired release.
*** Of games that do not have nor are upper versions.
** {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}} are the only core series remakes to not be developed by Game Freak and the first core series games overall to not be developed by Game Freak.
* Each set of main series remakes uses unique Pokémon artwork on the boxart. This artwork differs from the official standard Pokémon concept artwork that is usually released with the games. Rescue Team DX, meanwhile, uses an updated version of the artwork used for the original titles.
* Several [[generation]]s that received remakes have several unique distinctions:
** [[Generation I]] is the only generation to have multiple remakes of its core series games.
** [[Generation III]] is the only generation to have a remake of one of its spin-off titles.
** [[Generation V]] is the only completed generation since their introduction in [[Generation III]] to not have introduced any remakes.
** [[Generation VIII]] is the only generation to:
*** Feature more than one remake, namely Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Rescue Team DX and Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl. Coincidentally, neither remake was developed by Game Freak.
*** Feature a remake of a spin-off game, namely Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Rescue Team DX.
* While {{game|Yellow}} is the only {{DL|Core series|release model|upper version}} to be remade, several features introduced in {{game|Crystal}}, {{game|Emerald}}, and {{game|Platinum}} were incorporated into the remakes Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, and Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl, respectively. Conversely, [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team]] do not have an upper version for [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Rescue Team DX]] to incorporate features from.
* The accessories included with Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen and Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver serve as precursors to a feature found in their respective following generations. The [[Generation IV]] games used the [[Nintendo DS]]'s wireless play for communication, while [[Generation V]]'s {{pkmn|Dream World}} was somewhat similar to the concept of the [[Pokéwalker]].

A '''Swimmer''' is a type of [[Pokémon Trainer]]. Male Swimmers are referred to as '''Swimmer ♂''' (Japanese: '''かいパンやろう''' ''Swimsuit Guy''; in [[Generation I]], also known as '''かいパン''' ''Swimsuit'') and debuted in [[Generation I]]; female Swimmers are referred to as '''Swimmer ♀''' (Japanese: '''ビキニのおねえさん''' ''Bikini Lady'') and debuted in [[Generation II]]. From Generations II to IV, the Trainer classes were formatted as '''Swimmer♂''' and '''Swimmer♀'''. Swimmers specialize in {{type|Water}} Pokémon. They are usually found in the sea.

When female Swimmers are paired with male {{tc|Tuber}}s in [[Double Battle]]s, they are called {{tc|Sis & Bro}}s. Pairs of one male and one female Swimmer are known as {{tc|Swimmers}}, while a pair of two female Swimmers is known as {{tc|Swimmer Girls}}.

In {{pkmn|FireRed and LeafGreen}}, {{tc|Beauty|Beauties}} from Generation I games on [[water route]]s were replaced with Swimmer♀. In [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!|Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]] they remained Beauties like in Pokémon Yellow, but the Beauties who appear on these routes wear swimsuits.

In {{pkmn|Sun and Moon|Sun, Moon}}, {{pkmn|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Ultra Sun, Ultra Moon}}, {{pkmn|Sword and Shield|Sword, and Shield}}, they keep their Pokémon in [[Dive Ball]]s.

In [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!|Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], Swimmers will award three {{i|Poké Ball}}s along with [[prize money]] upon being defeated.

==Appearance==
The male Swimmers are often depicted as slim or muscular men wearing swimming trunks or speedos. Their appearances from [[Generation I]] to [[Generation VI]] have them wear swimming hats and goggles. The female Swimmers are often depicted as slim young women wearing bikinis and sometimes carrying beach balls.

==Trivia==
[[File:Swimmer Joyce post-battle dialogue.png|thumb|right|180px|Swimmer Joyce's post-battle dialogue (official text)]]
[[File:Woman's secret meme.png|thumb|right|180px|Woman's secret meme (edited screenshot)]]
* Because of the lack of female Swimmers, female Trainers encountered on water routes in [[Generation I]] are of the {{tc|Beauty}} and {{tc|Picnicker|Jr. Trainer♀}} classes. Female Swimmers use unique models in [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], but are still referred to as Beauties.
* For the first time in [[Generation V]], male Swimmers are depicted with swim shorts in a Japanese release. In previous games, they were depicted wearing swim briefs, which would sometimes be changed into swim shorts for international releases.
* In [[Pokémon GO]], "Swimmer" is the name of an achievement {{GO|medal}} awarded for catching at least 10 {{type|Water}} Pokémon.
* In [[Pokémon Champions]], the titles of "Swimmer" and "Swim Trunks Guy" are awarded for winning ten battles using {{type|Water}} Pokémon.
** "Swim Trunks Guy" is a more literal translation of the Japanese name of the male Swimmer trainer class.
* The male and blond female swimmers from Alola were designed by [[TOKIYA]].<ref name=twitter> TOKIYA's deleted tweet [https://web.archive.org/web/20170613214429/https://twitter.com/TOKIYA/status/801625547100958720]</ref>
* As a recurring theme, some Swimmers mention the practical problems of storing Poké Balls, including Aubree<ref>''"When I'm in my bikini, I'm at a loss about where to carry my Poké Balls!"'' - Swimmer Aubree in [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Versions|Pokémon Diamond, Pearl]], [[Pokémon Platinum Version|Platinum]], [[Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl|Brilliant Diamond, and Shining Pearl]]</ref> on {{rt|223|Sinnoh}},{{sup/4|DPPt}}{{sup/8|BDSP}} Joyce on {{rt|17|Unova}},{{sup/5|BW}} and Shelby<ref>''"It’s tough fetching Poké Balls from my bikini!"'' - Swimmer Shelby in {{game|Sun and Moon|s|Pokémon Sun, Moon}}, {{game|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|s|Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon}}</ref> on [[Melemele Sea]].{{sup/7|SMUSUM}}
** Among Pokémon fans, an edited screenshot has been circulating in which a female Swimmer says: ''"If I'm wearing a bikini... where do I put my Pokéballs? Teehee... woman's secret!"'' This quote is not from the English games. Instead, it is actually a fan translation of the Japanese post-battle dialogue said by Swimmer Joyce on Route 17: 「ビキニの　わたしが　どこに　モンスターボールを　しまうのか？　フフフ……　{{ruby|女|おんな}}の　{{ruby|秘密|ひみつ}}よ」 (''Where in my bikini do I store my Poké Balls? Fufufu... Woman's secret!''). In the official English localization, she says: ''"I'm a girl with everything... Well, everything but a place to put my Poké Balls!"''

'''Sucker Punch''' (Japanese: '''ふいうち''' ''Surprise Attack'') is a damage-dealing {{type|Dark}} [[move]] introduced in [[Generation IV]].

==Effect==
Sucker Punch has a [[priority]] of +1, so it is used before all moves that do not have increased priority. If Sucker Punch's target has selected a [[physical move|physical]] or [[special move|special]] attack and has not yet had a chance to execute its move, Sucker Punch will damage the target; otherwise, Sucker Punch will fail. Sucker Punch only depends on the move the target has selected, and is not affected by any consideration of whether the attack was actually executed, such as due to [[status condition]]s like {{status|sleep}} or {{status|freeze}}, or {{Abilities}} like {{a|Truant}} stopping the execution of a move or {{m|Encore}} making the target use a different move.

===Generation IV===
Sucker Punch has a [[power]] of 80.

===Generation V===
Sucker Punch will now succeed if the opponent is using {{m|Me First}} (despite the fact that Me First is a [[status move]]).

===Generation VII===
Sucker Punch's base power is reduced to 70.

===Generation VIII===
====Pokémon Sword and Shield====
Due to a [[List of glitches in Generation VIII#Sucker Punch/Quash glitch|glitch]], in a [[Double Battle]] where the player who didn't initiate the challenge is down to their final Pokémon, that Pokémon's Sucker Punch originally failed when used against the opponent on their right, regardless of what move that Pokémon selected for the turn. With the release of the version 1.1 update to [[Sword and Shield]], this glitch was fixed and Sucker Punch can now correctly hit Pokémon in that position.

==Trivia==
* Despite its name, Sucker Punch is not a [[punching move]]. It is the only move with this distinction.
** The term "{{wp|sucker punch}}" refers to an unexpected or cheap shot at an opponent, akin to its Japanese name「ふいうち」, which translates to ''surprise attack''. Thus, many Pokémon that do not possess arms can learn this move, and its base power is not increased by {{a|Iron Fist}}.

'''Magikarp salesman's Magikarp''' (Japanese: '''コイキング売りのコイキング''' ''Koiking salesman's Koiking'') is a term that can apply to several {{p|Magikarp}} under the ownership of the [[Magikarp salesman]].

==In the games==
[[File:Magikarp salesman FRLG.png|thumb|200px|The Magikarp salesman selling a Magikarp to the {{player}} in {{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}}]]
In {{rt|4|Kanto}}'s [[Pokémon Center]], a shady salesman, who was possibly the basis for the Magikarp salesman in {{aniseries|PTS}}, sells the {{player}} a Magikarp for {{pdollar}}500. He does not give refunds.

This grants the player an option to obtain a Magikarp far earlier in the game than would normally be possible, as the [[Old Rod]] is not available prior to reaching [[Vermilion City]]. With some normal training and patience, the player can potentially get their Magikarp to evolve into {{p|Gyarados}} as early as prior to reaching [[Cerulean City]], essentially giving the player a late-game powerhouse before reaching even the [[Cerulean Gym|second Gym]].

The Magikarp salesman appears once again in {{2v2|Black|White}} and {{2v2|Black|White|2}}. He can be found on the west end of [[Marvelous Bridge]]. Like in [[Kanto]], it also costs {{pdollar}}500 to purchase a Magikarp from him. This specific instance of buying a Magikarp is special as Magikarp is not native to [[Unova]], and the only other place one can be obtained is the [[Nature Preserve]] in Black 2 and White 2.

===''Pokémon the Series''===
====History====
====={{aniseries|OS}}=====
In ''[[EP015|Battle Aboard the St. Anne]]'', the Magikarp salesman made his debut, along with his Magikarp, and sold {{TP|James|one|Magikarp}} to [[James]] of [[Team Rocket]], complete with a "gold" [[Poké Ball]]. It eventually evolved into a Gyarados. It later escaped in ''[[EP016|Pokémon Shipwreck]]'', much to James's disappointment.

====={{aniseries|GS}}=====
Another one of the salesman's Magikarp appeared in ''[[EP146|Tricks of the Trade]]''. The Magikarp salesman tried to sell this one to James. James was almost roped into it again, but a quick flashback to their first encounter reminded James of who the guy was, causing James to angrily chase the man around the [[Pokémon Swap Meet]], accidentally knock [[Jessie]] over, and cause her {{TP|Jessie|Lickitung}}'s Poké Ball to fall onto the [[trade machine]], where it was traded for {{OBP|Benny|EP146}}'s {{TP|Jessie|Wobbuffet}}.

In ''[[EP201|Doin' What Comes Natu-rally]]'', the Magikarp salesman tried to sell another Magikarp to James. James was almost roped into it again, but at the last moment remembers the salesman but before given the chance to chase after him, [[Jessie]] and {{MTR}} tell him to forget about him and concentrate on their newest plan to steal Pokémon.

The salesman's next attempt was in ''[[EP261|Here's Lookin' at You, Elekid]]''; he first tried to sell Team Rocket another Magikarp, but due to James calling him a rip-off, he instead offered to trade [[List of Pokémon temporarily owned by the Team Rocket trio#Victreebel|his Weepinbell]] for [[James's Victreebel]]. James didn't want to do this; despite Victreebel's constant attempts to eat its Trainer, James still loved it, but Jessie forced him to.

=====[[Pokémon Chronicles]]=====
In ''[[HS04|Showdown at the Oak Corral]]'', he attempted to sell yet another Magikarp, this time to {{Tracey}}, but he was too smart to fall for it. The salesman then ran off upon realizing that he was at [[Professor Oak's Laboratory]].

====={{aniseries|RS}}=====
In ''[[AG079|Pearls are a Spoink's Best Friend]]'', he sold [[Jessie]] a supposed {{p|Feebas}}, which was in fact nothing more than another one of his {{DL|List of Pokémon temporarily owned by the Team Rocket trio|Magikarp}}, painted like a Feebas.

====={{aniseries|BW}}=====
In ''[[BW116|The Fires of a Red-Hot Reunion!]]'', he was seen trying to sell yet another Magikarp at the [[Kanto Fair]] in [[Unova]].

====={{aniseries|JN}}=====
In ''[[JNS01|The Arceus Chronicles (Part 1)]]'', he was seen trying to sell another Magikarp at the [[Sinnoh Festival]] in [[Sinnoh]].

====Personality and characteristics====
The Magikarp showed typical traits of their species, merely splashing in place. They are deemed as low-valued Pokémon, with the Magikarp salesman using various schemes and lies to sell them. [[James's Gyarados|One Magikarp]], after evolving into {{p|Gyarados}}, was shown enraged for how useless it was deemed.

The '''Magikarp salesman''' (Japanese: '''コイキング売り''' ''Koiking salesman'') is a character who sells various Pokémon, usually [[Magikarp salesman's Magikarp|his Magikarp]], at outrageous prices.

A [[non-player character]] refers to him a "shady old man" or "shady old guy".<ref name="Pewter Mart"/> In some guidebooks, he has been referred to as a "gentleman",<ref>''"This gentleman [...] wants to sell you a Magikarp for {{PDollar}}500."'' - ''[[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen: Prima's Official Strategy Guide]]'', page 15</ref> "traveling salesman",<ref>''"A traveling salesman at the Pokémon Center will offer you a sweet deal on a Magikarp, [...]"'' - ''[[Pokémon: Official Nintendo Player's Guide]]'', page 22</ref> or "shady traveling salesman", <ref>''"A shady traveling salesman is trolling for saps inside the Pokémon Center. He'll offer to sell you a Magikarp for the low, low price of {{PDollar}}500.."'' - ''[[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen: Official Nintendo Player's Guide]]'', page 41</ref> while his Magikarp is said to have come from the black market.<ref>''"At the Mt.

===Pokémon Gold, Silver, Crystal, HeartGold, and SoulSilver===
Though he does not make an appearance, the Magikarp salesman is briefly alluded to in {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}, as well as the remakes {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}. In the [[Poké Mart]] in [[Pewter City]], a boy will offer to show his {{p|Gyarados}} to anyone who speaks to him. Speaking to the other boy nearby causes him to remark how the boy had purchased a Magikarp from a "weird old man" three years prior, and trained it until it evolved into a Gyarados.

===Pokémon Black, White, Black 2, and White 2===
In {{game4|Black|White|Black|White}}, the Magikarp salesman appears again on [[Marvelous Bridge]] to sell a Magikarp for {{PDollar}}500. However, unlike in Kanto, Magikarp are not native to [[Unova]] and can only be found in the [[Nature Preserve]]{{sup/5|B2W2}}. It always has a {{stat|Speed}} [[Individual values|IV]] of 31 in these games.

===''Pokémon the Series''===
====History====
The Magikarp salesman is a recurring character in {{aniseries|PTS}}. He usually appears as a traveling con man who is always getting people, usually [[James]], to buy one of his worthless {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}.

====={{aniseries|OS}}=====
The salesman debuted in ''[[EP015|Battle Aboard the St. Anne]]'', where he was selling {{p|Magikarp}} to anyone on the [[S.S. Anne|St. Anne]] foolish enough to buy one. He would tell them that they would reproduce at a rapid rate and make the buyer rich. James was foolish enough to buy one, which [[EP016|later]] [[Evolution|evolved]] into a {{TP|James|Gyarados}} and proceeded to send him flying in a water spout.

====={{aniseries|GS}}=====
In ''[[EP146|Tricks of the Trade]]'', he was partially responsible for [[Jessie]] obtaining her {{TP|Jessie|Wobbuffet}}. The Magikarp salesman was again trying to sell Magikarp to James, but he recognized him from the St. Anne and chased after him. During the pursuit, the Magikarp salesman bumped into [[Jessie]], which sent her flying over to a nearby [[trade machine]]. When she bumped into it, the {{i|Poké Ball}} containing her {{TP|Jessie|Lickitung}} fell into the machine, trading it for {{OBP|Benny|EP146}}'s Wobbuffet, which he had been trying to [[trade]] off throughout the episode.

Some time after, he reappeared with the same selling strategy in ''[[EP201|Doin' What Comes Natu-rally]]''. Later, in ''[[EP261|Here's Lookin' at You, Elekid]]'', he traded his {{DL|List of Pokémon temporarily owned by the Team Rocket trio|Victreebel|Weepinbell}} for [[James's Victreebel]], which he {{pkmn2|released}} afterwards when it kept chomping on him, as it had done with James.

=====[[Pokémon Chronicles]]=====
In ''[[HS04|Showdown at the Oak Corral]]'', the Magikarp salesman tried his golden Magikarp scam on {{Tracey}}, claiming that the Magikarp could lay golden {{pkmn|Egg}}s. However, unlike Team Rocket, Tracey was too smart to fall for this trick. The Magikarp salesman ran off when he discovered that he had knocked on the door of [[Professor Oak's Laboratory]].

====={{aniseries|RS}}=====
In the [[Hoenn]] [[region]], the Magikarp salesman had changed his operation; now, he was attempting to sell Pokémon disguised as rare Pokémon. In ''[[AG079|Pearls are a Spoink's Best Friend]]'', he sold a Magikarp disguised as {{p|Feebas}} to {{TRT}} for a stolen {{OBP|Spoink|recurring}}'s pearl. After placing her new Pokémon into some water, Jessie realized she had been conned as the paint washed away, revealing Feebas to be a Magikarp. Ash and {{ashfr}} were able to reunite Spoink with its pearl, but the Magikarp salesman was able to escape.

In ''[[AG084|Who's Flying Now?]]'', he was selling a {{DL|List of Pokémon temporarily owned by the Team Rocket trio|Hoppip}} disguised as a {{p|Chimecho}} at [[Fortree City]]'s [[Feather Carnival]]. James came across him while searching for a Chimecho and attempted to {{pkmn2|caught|catch}} it. However, its real identity was revealed and a gust of wind blew it away.

He made a cameo appearance when Ash caught {{AP|Aipom}} in ''[[AG182|Channeling the Battle Zone]]''.

====={{aniseries|DP}}=====
In ''[[DP021|Ya See We Want An Evolution!]]'', he sold a dual Evolution machine/mecha-bot to Team Rocket. While he did inform Team Rocket that the machine must warm up for at least a week before use, Team Rocket forgot to follow his instructions, which resulted in its failure to [[Evolution|evolve]] Pokémon and sustain its mecha-bot form. Therefore, it is unknown if this was another one of his scams, or if the machine would truly have worked.

====={{aniseries|BW}}=====
In ''[[BW116|The Fires of a Red-Hot Reunion!]]'', he had his own table at the [[Kanto Fair]]. There, he was once again trying to sell Magikarp to people.

====={{aniseries|JN}}=====
The Magikarp salesman reappeared in ''[[JNS01|The Arceus Chronicles (Part 1)]]'', trying to sell a Magikarp to a visitor at the [[Sinnoh Festival]] in [[Canalave City]].

====Character====
The Magikarp salesman is a con man; as such, he isn't afraid to lie to or mislead his customers in order to sell his goods. He prefers to travel the world, likely to remain undetected by the authorities and any disgruntled clientele like [[James]].

==Trivia==
* The Magikarp salesman was given a Hispanic accent in all of the dubbed episodes except for ''[[HS04|Showdown at the Oak Corral]]'' and ''[[BW116|The Fires of a Red-Hot Reunion!]]'', where he speaks without an accent. This may have been an oversight of both the [[Pokémon Chronicles]] and [[The Pokémon Company International]] production teams, since after TPCi took over the dub, his Hispanic accent returned only in ''[[DP021|Ya See We Want an Evolution!]]''.
* In most of the Magikarp salesman's appearances, the Team Rocket Trio ends up losing and gaining a Pokémon:
** In ''[[EP015|Battle Aboard the St. Anne]]'', James gains a Magikarp and loses it soon after.
** In ''[[EP146|Tricks of the Trade]]'', Jessie loses her {{TP|Jessie|Lickitung}} and gains a {{TP|Jessie|Wobbuffet}}.
** In ''[[EP261|Here's Lookin' at You, Elekid!]]'', James loses his {{TP|James|Victreebel}} but gains a {{p|Weepinbell}} that evolves into another {{p|Victreebel}} (and loses that one soon after).
** In ''[[AG079|Pearls are a Spoink's Best Friend]]'', Jessie gains and loses a {{p|Magikarp}} after thinking it was a {{p|Feebas}}.
** In ''[[AG084|Who's Flying Now?]]'', James gains a {{p|Hoppip}} and loses it soon after (he also gains a {{TP|James|Chimecho}} in the same episode).
* [[Trade]]s often occur in episodes that the Magikarp salesman appears in.
* Every episode he appeared in as a major appearance was written by Yukiyoshi Ohashi. The two episodes in which he made a cameo appearance were written by [[Atsuhiro Tomioka]].
* The Magikarp's salesman's appearance is similar to that of the main character from the series ''{{wp|Tensai Bakabon}}'', Bakabon's Papa.

The '''Magikarp salesman''' (Japanese: '''コイキング売り''' ''Koiking salesman'') is a character who sells various Pokémon, usually [[Magikarp salesman's Magikarp|his Magikarp]], at outrageous prices.

A [[non-player character]] refers to him a "shady old man" or "shady old guy".<ref name="Pewter Mart"/> In some guidebooks, he has been referred to as a "gentleman",<ref>''"This gentleman [...] wants to sell you a Magikarp for {{PDollar}}500."'' - ''[[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen: Prima's Official Strategy Guide]]'', page 15</ref> "traveling salesman",<ref>''"A traveling salesman at the Pokémon Center will offer you a sweet deal on a Magikarp, [...]"'' - ''[[Pokémon: Official Nintendo Player's Guide]]'', page 22</ref> or "shady traveling salesman", <ref>''"A shady traveling salesman is trolling for saps inside the Pokémon Center. He'll offer to sell you a Magikarp for the low, low price of {{PDollar}}500.."'' - ''[[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen: Official Nintendo Player's Guide]]'', page 41</ref> while his Magikarp is said to have come from the black market.<ref>''"At the Mt. Poké Center, you can pick up a black market Magikarp for {{PDollar}}500."'' - ''[[Official Pokémon Special Pikachu Edition Perfect Guide]]'', page 15</ref>

===Pokémon Gold, Silver, Crystal, HeartGold, and SoulSilver===
{{main|Magikarp salesman's Magikarp}}
Though he does not make an appearance, the Magikarp salesman is briefly alluded to in {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}, as well as the remakes {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}. In the [[Poké Mart]] in [[Pewter City]], a boy will offer to show his {{p|Gyarados}} to anyone who speaks to him. Speaking to the other boy nearby causes him to remark how the boy had purchased a Magikarp from a "weird old man" three years prior, and trained it until it evolved into a Gyarados.

===Pokémon Black, White, Black 2, and White 2===
In {{game4|Black|White|Black|White}}, the Magikarp salesman appears again on [[Marvelous Bridge]] to sell a Magikarp for {{PDollar}}500. However, unlike in Kanto, Magikarp are not native to [[Unova]] and can only be found in the [[Nature Preserve]]{{sup/5|B2W2}}. It always has a {{stat|Speed}} [[Individual values|IV]] of 31 in these games.

===''Pokémon the Series''===
====History====
The Magikarp salesman is a recurring character in {{aniseries|PTS}}. He usually appears as a traveling con man who is always getting people, usually [[James]], to buy one of his worthless {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}.

====={{aniseries|OS}}=====
The salesman debuted in ''[[EP015|Battle Aboard the St. Anne]]'', where he was selling {{p|Magikarp}} to anyone on the [[S.S. Anne|St. Anne]] foolish enough to buy one. He would tell them that they would reproduce at a rapid rate and make the buyer rich. James was foolish enough to buy one, which [[EP016|later]] [[Evolution|evolved]] into a {{TP|James|Gyarados}} and proceeded to send him flying in a water spout.

====={{aniseries|GS}}=====
In ''[[EP146|Tricks of the Trade]]'', he was partially responsible for [[Jessie]] obtaining her {{TP|Jessie|Wobbuffet}}. The Magikarp salesman was again trying to sell Magikarp to James, but he recognized him from the St. Anne and chased after him. During the pursuit, the Magikarp salesman bumped into [[Jessie]], which sent her flying over to a nearby [[trade machine]]. When she bumped into it, the {{i|Poké Ball}} containing her {{TP|Jessie|Lickitung}} fell into the machine, trading it for {{OBP|Benny|EP146}}'s Wobbuffet, which he had been trying to [[trade]] off throughout the episode.

Some time after, he reappeared with the same selling strategy in ''[[EP201|Doin' What Comes Natu-rally]]''. Later, in ''[[EP261|Here's Lookin' at You, Elekid]]'', he traded his {{DL|List of Pokémon temporarily owned by the Team Rocket trio|Victreebel|Weepinbell}} for [[James's Victreebel]], which he {{pkmn2|released}} afterwards when it kept chomping on him, as it had done with James.

=====[[Pokémon Chronicles]]=====
In ''[[HS04|Showdown at the Oak Corral]]'', the Magikarp salesman tried his golden Magikarp scam on {{Tracey}}, claiming that the Magikarp could lay golden {{pkmn|Egg}}s. However, unlike Team Rocket, Tracey was too smart to fall for this trick. The Magikarp salesman ran off when he discovered that he had knocked on the door of [[Professor Oak's Laboratory]].

====={{aniseries|RS}}=====
In the [[Hoenn]] [[region]], the Magikarp salesman had changed his operation; now, he was attempting to sell Pokémon disguised as rare Pokémon. In ''[[AG079|Pearls are a Spoink's Best Friend]]'', he sold a Magikarp disguised as {{p|Feebas}} to {{TRT}} for a stolen {{OBP|Spoink|recurring}}'s pearl. After placing her new Pokémon into some water, Jessie realized she had been conned as the paint washed away, revealing Feebas to be a Magikarp. Ash and {{ashfr}} were able to reunite Spoink with its pearl, but the Magikarp salesman was able to escape.

In ''[[AG084|Who's Flying Now?]]'', he was selling a {{DL|List of Pokémon temporarily owned by the Team Rocket trio|Hoppip}} disguised as a {{p|Chimecho}} at [[Fortree City]]'s [[Feather Carnival]]. James came across him while searching for a Chimecho and attempted to {{pkmn2|caught|catch}} it. However, its real identity was revealed and a gust of wind blew it away.

He made a cameo appearance when Ash caught {{AP|Aipom}} in ''[[AG182|Channeling the Battle Zone]]''.

====={{aniseries|DP}}=====
In ''[[DP021|Ya See We Want An Evolution!]]'', he sold a dual Evolution machine/mecha-bot to Team Rocket. While he did inform Team Rocket that the machine must warm up for at least a week before use, Team Rocket forgot to follow his instructions, which resulted in its failure to [[Evolution|evolve]] Pokémon and sustain its mecha-bot form. Therefore, it is unknown if this was another one of his scams, or if the machine would truly have worked.

====={{aniseries|BW}}=====
In ''[[BW116|The Fires of a Red-Hot Reunion!]]'', he had his own table at the [[Kanto Fair]]. There, he was once again trying to sell Magikarp to people.

====={{aniseries|JN}}=====
The Magikarp salesman reappeared in ''[[JNS01|The Arceus Chronicles (Part 1)]]'', trying to sell a Magikarp to a visitor at the [[Sinnoh Festival]] in [[Canalave City]].

====Character====
The Magikarp salesman is a con man; as such, he isn't afraid to lie to or mislead his customers in order to sell his goods. He prefers to travel the world, likely to remain undetected by the authorities and any disgruntled clientele like [[James]].

In reality, however, Magikarp is a completely useless Pokémon which cannot provide riches to anyone except for the Magikarp salesman himself, due to the ridiculous prices at which he sells his Magikarp.

Sometimes, the Magikarp salesman has also tried to sell his Magikarp by disguising them as {{p|Feebas}} and telling to the customer that it would evolve into {{p|Milotic}}, the most beautiful Pokémon in the world. Oddly, he has never tried any sort of similar tactic with selling Magikarp as is, by informing the customer that it would evolve into the powerful {{p|Gyarados}}. In ''[[DP021|Ya See We Want an Evolution!]]'', he also tried to offer some special gifts for the customer if they bought a Magikarp.}}

===Pokémon Origins===
The Magikarp salesman appeared briefly in ''[[PO02|File 2: Cubone]]'', selling {{OBP|Red|Origins}} a {{p|Magikarp}} for {{PDollar}}500.

====Pokémon====

==Trivia==
* The Magikarp salesman was given a Hispanic accent in all of the dubbed episodes except for ''[[HS04|Showdown at the Oak Corral]]'' and ''[[BW116|The Fires of a Red-Hot Reunion!]]'', where he speaks without an accent. This may have been an oversight of both the [[Pokémon Chronicles]] and [[The Pokémon Company International]] production teams, since after TPCi took over the dub, his Hispanic accent returned only in ''[[DP021|Ya See We Want an Evolution!]]''.
* In most of the Magikarp salesman's appearances, the Team Rocket Trio ends up losing and gaining a Pokémon:
** In ''[[EP015|Battle Aboard the St. Anne]]'', James gains a Magikarp and loses it soon after.
** In ''[[EP146|Tricks of the Trade]]'', Jessie loses her {{TP|Jessie|Lickitung}} and gains a {{TP|Jessie|Wobbuffet}}.
** In ''[[EP261|Here's Lookin' at You, Elekid!]]'', James loses his {{TP|James|Victreebel}} but gains a {{p|Weepinbell}} that evolves into another {{p|Victreebel}} (and loses that one soon after).
** In ''[[AG079|Pearls are a Spoink's Best Friend]]'', Jessie gains and loses a {{p|Magikarp}} after thinking it was a {{p|Feebas}}.
** In ''[[AG084|Who's Flying Now?]]'', James gains a {{p|Hoppip}} and loses it soon after (he also gains a {{TP|James|Chimecho}} in the same episode).
* [[Trade]]s often occur in episodes that the Magikarp salesman appears in.
* Every episode he appeared in as a major appearance was written by Yukiyoshi Ohashi. The two episodes in which he made a cameo appearance were written by [[Atsuhiro Tomioka]].
* The Magikarp's salesman's appearance is similar to that of the main character from the series ''{{wp|Tensai Bakabon}}'', Bakabon's Papa.

Ditto transformations

2026-07-07T12:38:40Z

Daniel Carrero: /* In the TCG */

[[File:Duplica Ditto Bulbasaur.png|thumb|250px|[[Duplica's Ditto]] transformed into [[Ash's Bulbasaur]]]]
There are several instances of '''{{p|Ditto}} {{m|Transform|transformations}}''' in Pokémon media.

In the [[core series]] games, a Pokémon that uses {{m|Transform}} accurately copies the appearance of the target. However, starting with [[Duplica's Ditto]] in the {{aniseries|OS}} episode ''[[EP037|Ditto's Mysterious Mansion]]'', several Ditto in various Pokémon media retain their original faces while transformed.

==Transformation types==
===Perfect copy===
Any Pokémon who uses {{m|Transform}} becomes a visually perfect copy of the target in several games, as the same sprites or renders used for the transformation target are also used for the transformed Pokémon.

This is the case in the [[core series]] (except for the color palettes in early generations), the [[side series]], the [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series]] (except in "[[Here Comes Team Charm!]]" from [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky|Explorers of Sky]]), [[Pokémon GO]], [[Pokémon Masters EX]], [[Pokémon Ranger: Guardian Signs]], {{aniseries|PTS}} (with some exceptions like [[Duplica's Ditto]]), the [[POKÉTOON]] short ''[[PT04|Wait for Me, Magikarp!]]'', [[Pokémon Adventures]], and [[Magical Pokémon Journey]]. In [[Ditto There]], most but not all Ditto transform perfectly.

===Retaining original colors===
In [[Pokémon Red and Blue Versions|Pokémon Red, Blue]], [[Pokémon Yellow Version|Yellow]], [[Pokémon Gold and Silver Versions|Gold, Silver]], and [[Pokémon Crystal Version|Crystal]], any Pokémon who uses {{m|Transform}} retains its original color palette after transformed into other Pokémon. Specifically, Ditto's palette is gray (Generation I), purple (Generation II, non-Shiny), or blue (Generation II, Shiny).

In [[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]], the Ditto from the Poké Ball item transforms into a purple version of any fighter.

In [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]], Ditto transforms into a purple version of [[Ash Ketchum]].

Ditto Celebi.png|Ditto transformed into a purple {{p|Celebi}} in [[Generation II]]
Ditto Celebi Shiny.png|Shiny Ditto transformed into a blue Celebi in Generation II
</gallery></center>

===Retaining original Shininess===
In [[Pokémon Stadium 2]], [[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire Versions|Ruby, Sapphire]], [[Pokémon Emerald Version|Emerald]], [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions|FireRed, LeafGreen]], {{pkmn|Colosseum}}, and {{pkmn|XD: Gale of Darkness}}, any Pokémon who uses Transform retains its own Shininess or lack thereof.

For instance, if a Shiny Ditto uses Transform on a regular (blue) {{p|Gyarados}}, Ditto will appear as a Shiny (red) Gyarados.

<center><gallery widths=240px heights=160px>
Ditto Shiny Gyarados FRLG.png|Shiny Ditto transformed into {{p|Gyarados}} in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}
Ditto Shiny Mewtwo FRLG.png|Shiny Ditto transformed into {{p|Mewtwo}} in Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen
</gallery></center>

===Dimmed colors===
In {{game5|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald|FireRed|LeafGreen}}, any Pokémon who uses Transform appears with slightly dimmed colors.

===Retaining original face===
In the {{aniseries|OS}} episode ''[[EP037|Ditto's Mysterious Mansion]]'', [[Duplica's Ditto]] retained its original face while transformed until it eventually learned how to transform its face as well. This was presented as an anomaly, but several other Ditto in various [[Pokémon]] media have also been since depicted with their original face while transformed.

Other examples include the Ditto transformations seen in [[Pokémon Snap]], the [[Special Episode]] "[[Here Comes Team Charm!]]" from [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky]], [[Eevee × Tamagotchi]], [[Pokémon Zany Cards]], the [[Ditto Collection]] merchandise, [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]] manga, [[Pokémon Newspaper Strip]], the [[Ditto There]] music video, several Ditto cards from the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]], and the player {{poko|Ditto}} in [[Pokémon Pokopia]].

===Retaining original size===
In the {{aniseries|OS}} episode ''[[EP174|Imitation Confrontation]]'', Duplica's second Ditto named Mini-Dit was unable to change its size, turning into small copies of large Pokémon.

===Half-way transformation===
In [[Pokémon Adventures]], {{adv|Green}}'s [[Ditty]] is often seen in the process of transforming or turning back into its original form.

In [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]], [[Duplica's Ditto]] appears partially transformed into {{p|Machop}}.

A {{TCG|XY Black Star Promos|XY Black Star Promo}} {{TCG ID|XY Promo|Ditto|40}} card depicts a Ditto half-transformed into {{p|Pikachu}}. In [[Pokémon 4Koma Plaza]] #39, several Ditto appear half-transformed as well, each with a Pikachu head on a Ditto body.

===Other transformations===
In the [[Ditto There]] music video, a Ditto transforms into Ditto with its face on its back, and another Ditto transforms into a Ditto with its body upside-down but not its face.

==In the core series games==
[[File:SV Ditto Block.png|thumb|250px|Ditto Block]]

In the [[core series]] games, Ditto's only available [[move]] is {{m|Transform}}. From [[Generation V]] onwards, Ditto can also transform by using its [[signature Ability]] {{a|Imposter}}.

Some [[Pokédex entry|Pokédex entries]] state that Ditto transforms into a stone when sleeping in order to avoid being attacked.

===Pokémon Crystal===
{{game|Crystal}}'s [[game intro|intro]] starts with a {{p|Ditto}} transforming into the [[Game Freak]] logo.

===Pokémon Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum===
[[File:Ditto Clefairy.png|thumb|left|Game Corner "Clefairy"]]
In {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}, the [[Veilstone Game Corner]], during the Game Corner slot machine game, a {{p|Clefairy}} with a Ditto face will occasionally appear instead of a real Clefairy.

===Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon===
In {{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}}, the player can encounter a Ditto transformed into a human at the Police Station on {{rt|9|Alola}}. After battling it, the player is tasked with apprehending the remaining [[Alola Route 9#The Ditto Five|Ditto Five]], also transformed into humans, in [[Konikoni City]].

===Pokémon Scarlet and Violet===
In [[The Indigo Disk]], various [[Blueberry Quest|Ditto Blocks]] can be found as objectives in [[Blueberry Quest]]s throughout the [[Terarium]], where Ditto will seemingly transform into one of the many cubes with rounded edges that make up many of the structures of the Terarium.

==In the side series games==
In the [[Pokémon Stadium series]], {{pkmn|Colosseum}}, {{pkmn|XD: Gale of Darkness}}, and {{pkmn|Battle Revolution}}, which feature [[Pokemon battle]]s based on the core series games, {{p|Ditto}}'s only available [[move]] is {{m|Transform}}.

===Pokémon Stadium series===
In {{g|Stadium}} and {{pkmn|Stadium 2}}, a Ditto transforms into the countdown "3", "2", "1", "GO!" seen at the start of any [[Pokémon Stadium series mini-games|mini-game]].

===Pokémon HOME===
In [[Pokémon HOME]], several [[Medal (HOME)|medals]] feature transformed Ditto.

</gallery></center>

==In the spin-off games==
===Pokémon GO===
In [[Pokémon GO]], Ditto first became available on November 23, 2016. It appears disguised as other {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} in the {{pkmn2|wild}}. Players will only find out whether a Pokémon is a Ditto if successfully [[caught Pokémon|captured]], upon which a cutscene will show the Pokémon transforming back into Ditto.

===Pokémon Masters EX===
In [[Pokémon Masters EX]], the [[April Fools' Day 2022]] event "[[Find the Ditto impostors!]]" features several Trainer duplicates which are in fact Ditto transformed into humans.

===Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series===
In the [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series]], much like in the [[core series]] games, {{p|Ditto}}'s only available [[move]] is {{m|Transform}}.

====Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky====
In [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky]], the [[Special Episode]] "[[Here Comes Team Charm!]]" features a Ditto who transforms into {{p|Sentret}} and {{p|Bellossom}} while retaining its face. This Ditto is also able to transform into a [[Treasure Box]].

In [[Super Smash Bros. Melee]], Ditto was an unused Poké Ball summon. The Nintendo Power strategy guide still mentions its existence, and would have transformed into the player that threw the Poké Ball.

Additionally, in Tournament Mode, by holding '''L''', '''R''' and '''A''' together, the game will select a random character. That player's avatar will appear as Ditto until the match starts.

====Super Smash Bros. Ultimate====
In [[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]], the {{p|Ditto}} summoned from the Poké Ball transforms into a purple version of the fighter who used this item.

===Pokémon Pokopia===
In {{g|Pokopia}}, a {{poko|Ditto}} transforms into a [[human]] to create a place for humans and Pokémon. This Ditto can also transform into a {{p|Lapras}}, {{p|Graveler}}, {{p|Dragonite}}, and {{p|Magnemite}} to travel across water, roll across land, glide over the ground, and hover in the air, respectively.

When using other moves via the [[Transform (specialty)|Transform]] [[specialty]], the body parts of Ditto transform, such as turning arms to vines for {{m|Leafage}} and gaining {{p|Squirtle}}'s shell for {{m|Water Gun}}.

Ditto can also transform into different items through the use of {{m|Camouflage}}.

===Eevee × Tamagotchi===
In [[Eevee × Tamagotchi]], an {{p|Eevee}} with minimal care and food becomes a {{p|Ditto}} transformed into Eevee.

===Pokémon Trozei series===
In [[Pokémon Trozei!]] and {{pkmn|Battle Trozei}}, the puzzle games usually involve forming combos of at least four Pokémon of the same species. Although Ditto is not seen transforming in-game, it works a "wild card", counting as any Pokémon for the purpose of forming combos.

In [[Pokémon Shuffle]], before Ditto was legitimately available, it was originally coded as a wild card like in the previous games. However, instead of being a wild card, Ditto was released in 2017 with the [[Skill (Shuffle)|Transform]] skill, which causes up to 3 Ditto to transform into another support Pokémon.

===Pokémon Zany Cards===
{{missing image||Add Ditto transformed into the hearts symbol}}

In [[Pokémon Zany Cards]], the [[Special Seven]] card game (a variant of {{wp|one-card}}) involves discarding the cards from the player's hand if they match the rank or suit of the latest card added to the discard pile.

Special Seven features four Ditto cards, one of each suit (the eight of spades, hearts, diamonds, and clubs). When a Ditto card is discarded, the player chooses the suit it will transform to using "Ditto's Transform". This also features a short animation where Ditto visually transforms into the suit symbol with the Ditto face.

===={{aniseries|OS}}====
In ''[[EP037|Ditto's Mysterious Mansion]]'', [[Duplica's Ditto]] transformed into [[Ash's Pikachu]], [[Ash's Bulbasaur]], a {{p|Voltorb}}, a {{p|Machoke}}, and Team Rocket's {{OBP|Meowth|Team Rocket}}, while still retaining its original face. At some point, [[Jessie]] showed Duplica's Ditto a picture of a young boy with blue hair and requested to see how he would look like as an adult, but Ditto transformed into a picture of the adult man while still retaining Ditto's original face. Jessie also wanted Ditto to transform into {{p|Dratini}}, but once she showed it a book with Dratini's picture, Ditto transformed into a book instead. At the end of this episode, Duplica's Ditto learned how to transform perfectly, including its face.

In ''[[EP111|Hello Pummelo]]'', {{OBP|Drake|Orange League}}'s Ditto transformed into Ash's Pikachu.

===={{aniseries|JN}}====
In ''[[JN019|A Talent for Imitation!]]'', a Ditto actor hired by [[Kublock]]'s studio was often failing to Transform accurately, until it learned how to perfect the transformations by slapping its own face for motivation. It is seen transformed into {{p|Gardevoir}}, {{p|Absol}}, {{p|Glaceon}} (overweight), {{p|Salamence}} (curly-tailed), {{p|Eevee}}, {{p|Poliwag}}, {{p|Wooper}}, [[Jessie's Wobbuffet]], [[Meowth (Team Rocket)|Team Rocket's Meowth]], and [[Ash's Pikachu]]. Ditto retains its original face in most transformations, except it copies the faces of Gardevoir, Salamence, and Wobbuffet. While transformed into Salamence and Wobbuffet, it also reverts back to the Ditto face again.

====Pikachu shorts====
In [[PK15]], a Ditto is transformed into {{p|Cubone}}.

==={{aniseries|HZ}}===
Ditto Blocks, including a {{shiny}} one, appeared in ''[[HZ118|Liko and Hattrem, Bonded by Happiness! ]]

Introduced in the ''[[Wonder Voyage]]'' arc, the Ditto that travels with the [[Rising Volt Tacklers]] retains its original face and size when transforming, similar to both of Duplica's Ditto from {{aniseries|PtS}}. Unlike other Ditto in the Pokémon animated series, this Ditto is often seen transforming into inanimate objects, and even tranformed into [[Dot]]'s internet persona, Nidothing. Ditto can also transform into the body parts of other Pokémon, such as {{p|Meowscarada}}'s tail or {{p|Nosepass}}'s nose.

===POKÉTOON===
In ''[[PT04|Wait for Me, Magikarp!]]'', there is a single real {{p|Bulbasaur}} together with a group of Ditto transformed into Bulbasaur. All the Ditto reveal themselves when a little girl hugs the real Bulbasaur.

===Ditto There===
In the music video [[Ditto There]], a Ditto transformed into a rock. Later, a Ditto transformed into a flawless Pikachu and a second Ditto transformed into a Pikachu while retaining its face. In a battle between two Ditto, they repeatedly transformed into each other, retaining their original appearance except one of them transformed backwards and the other transformed upside-down. A Ditto transformed into {{p|Pidgey}}, and then it met a group consisting of a {{p|Mareep}}, a {{p|Clefairy}}, a {{p|Psyduck}}, and an {{p|Omanyte}} which were all revealed to be transformed Ditto.

==In live action==
{{missing image|section|images of Ditto transformed into Roger and Lucy}}
In {{DetPikMov}}, [[Ms. Norman]] is a genetically modified {{p|Ditto}} who can transform into humans while retaining its eyes. It usually takes human form as [[Howard Clifford]]'s female personal assistant, and is also seen transforming into [[Roger Clifford]] and [[Lucy Stevens]].

==In the manga==
===Pokémon Adventures===
===={{MangaArc|Red, Green & Blue}}====
In ''[[PS016|Tauros the Tyrant]]'', {{adv|Green}}'s Ditto named [[Ditty]] was introduced. After both Ditty and [[Team Rocket Elite Trio|Ken]]'s {{p|Tauros}} fell off a cliff together, only Tauros came back from the cliff. However, it was soon revealed that the Tauros who came back was actually Ditty transformed into Tauros.

In ''[[PS017|The Jynx Jinx]]'', Ditty transformed into {{p|Mew}} in order to keep Ken and Team Rocket occupied.

In ''[[PS030|Zap! Zap! Zapdos!]]'', Ditty was disguised as [[Blasty]].

In ''[[PS032|A Little Kadabra'll Do It]]'', Green appeared disguised into Sabrina, wearing Ditto transformed into Sabrina's face. However, when the fake Sabrina met Red, [[Pika]] was not fooled by the disguise.

===={{MangaArc|Yellow}}====
In ''[[PS059|Hitmonlee, Baby! (One More Time)]]'', Green sneaked into [[Bill]]'s house at the [[Sea Cottage]] by using Ditty partially transformed as the house key.

In the events between ''[[PS069|Playing Horsea]]'' and ''[[PS084|Clefabulous Clefable]]'', at [[Cerise Island]], Ditty had been secretly transformed into Green's right arm while she was wearing a jacket over her dress. In the meantime, Green and [[Sabrina]] were seemingly bound together by Lorelei's ice handcuffs. Ultimately, Ditty was revealed after Green's arm appeared to be severed like the arm of the ice voodoo doll in her likeness. Ditty then attacked Lorelei and her Jynx by extending as a long snake-like blob and then formed a cocoon around them.

In ''[[PS274|Double Dealing with Deoxys]]'', a Deoxys appeared to attack [[Ultima]], {{adv|Red}}, and {{adv|Blue}}. In ''[[PS276|My, My, My Mimic]]'', Ultima revealed that this Deoxys was actually a transformed Ditty, and it showed its Ditto face while still transformed into Deoxys. In a flashback, Ditty was also able to simultaneously transform into Green and Deoxys in order to inform Ultima about Deoxys's attack at the [[Seagallop]].

Ditto transformations

2026-07-07T11:31:53Z

Daniel Carrero: /* In the TCG */

[[File:Duplica Ditto Bulbasaur.png|thumb|250px|[[Duplica's Ditto]] transformed into [[Ash's Bulbasaur]]]]
There are several instances of '''{{p|Ditto}} {{m|Transform|transformations}}''' in Pokémon media.

In the [[core series]] games, a Pokémon that uses {{m|Transform}} accurately copies the appearance of the target. However, starting with [[Duplica's Ditto]] in the {{aniseries|OS}} episode ''[[EP037|Ditto's Mysterious Mansion]]'', several Ditto in various Pokémon media retain their original faces while transformed.

==Transformation types==
===Perfect copy===
Any Pokémon who uses {{m|Transform}} becomes a visually perfect copy of the target in several games, as the same sprites or renders used for the transformation target are also used for the transformed Pokémon.

This is the case in the [[core series]] (except for the color palettes in early generations), the [[side series]], the [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series]] (except in "[[Here Comes Team Charm!]]" from [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky|Explorers of Sky]]), [[Pokémon GO]], [[Pokémon Masters EX]], [[Pokémon Ranger: Guardian Signs]], {{aniseries|PTS}} (with some exceptions like [[Duplica's Ditto]]), the [[POKÉTOON]] short ''[[PT04|Wait for Me, Magikarp!]]'', [[Pokémon Adventures]], and [[Magical Pokémon Journey]]. In [[Ditto There]], most but not all Ditto transform perfectly.

===Retaining original colors===
In [[Pokémon Red and Blue Versions|Pokémon Red, Blue]], [[Pokémon Yellow Version|Yellow]], [[Pokémon Gold and Silver Versions|Gold, Silver]], and [[Pokémon Crystal Version|Crystal]], any Pokémon who uses {{m|Transform}} retains its original color palette after transformed into other Pokémon. Specifically, Ditto's palette is gray (Generation I), purple (Generation II, non-Shiny), or blue (Generation II, Shiny).

In [[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]], the Ditto from the Poké Ball item transforms into a purple version of any fighter.

In [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]], Ditto transforms into a purple version of [[Ash Ketchum]].

Ditto Celebi.png|Ditto transformed into a purple {{p|Celebi}} in [[Generation II]]
Ditto Celebi Shiny.png|Shiny Ditto transformed into a blue Celebi in Generation II
</gallery></center>

===Retaining original Shininess===
In [[Pokémon Stadium 2]], [[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire Versions|Ruby, Sapphire]], [[Pokémon Emerald Version|Emerald]], [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions|FireRed, LeafGreen]], {{pkmn|Colosseum}}, and {{pkmn|XD: Gale of Darkness}}, any Pokémon who uses Transform retains its own Shininess or lack thereof.

For instance, if a Shiny Ditto uses Transform on a regular (blue) {{p|Gyarados}}, Ditto will appear as a Shiny (red) Gyarados.

<center><gallery widths=240px heights=160px>
Ditto Shiny Gyarados FRLG.png|Shiny Ditto transformed into {{p|Gyarados}} in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}
Ditto Shiny Mewtwo FRLG.png|Shiny Ditto transformed into {{p|Mewtwo}} in Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen
</gallery></center>

===Dimmed colors===
In {{game5|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald|FireRed|LeafGreen}}, any Pokémon who uses Transform appears with slightly dimmed colors.

===Retaining original face===
In the {{aniseries|OS}} episode ''[[EP037|Ditto's Mysterious Mansion]]'', [[Duplica's Ditto]] retained its original face while transformed until it eventually learned how to transform its face as well. This was presented as an anomaly, but several other Ditto in various [[Pokémon]] media have also been since depicted with their original face while transformed.

Other examples include the Ditto transformations seen in [[Pokémon Snap]], the [[Special Episode]] "[[Here Comes Team Charm!]]" from [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky]], [[Eevee × Tamagotchi]], [[Pokémon Zany Cards]], the [[Ditto Collection]] merchandise, [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]] manga, [[Pokémon Newspaper Strip]], the [[Ditto There]] music video, several Ditto cards from the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]], and the player {{poko|Ditto}} in [[Pokémon Pokopia]].

===Retaining original size===
In the {{aniseries|OS}} episode ''[[EP174|Imitation Confrontation]]'', Duplica's second Ditto named Mini-Dit was unable to change its size, turning into small copies of large Pokémon.

===Half-way transformation===
In [[Pokémon Adventures]], {{adv|Green}}'s [[Ditty]] is often seen in the process of transforming or turning back into its original form.

In [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]], [[Duplica's Ditto]] appears partially transformed into {{p|Machop}}.

A {{TCG|XY Black Star Promos|XY Black Star Promo}} {{TCG ID|XY Promo|Ditto|40}} card depicts a Ditto half-transformed into {{p|Pikachu}}. In [[Pokémon 4Koma Plaza]] #39, several Ditto appear half-transformed as well, each with a Pikachu head on a Ditto body.

===Other transformations===
In the [[Ditto There]] music video, a Ditto transforms into Ditto with its face on its back, and another Ditto transforms into a Ditto with its body upside-down but not its face.

==In the core series games==
[[File:SV Ditto Block.png|thumb|250px|Ditto Block]]

In the [[core series]] games, Ditto's only available [[move]] is {{m|Transform}}. From [[Generation V]] onwards, Ditto can also transform by using its [[signature Ability]] {{a|Imposter}}.

Some [[Pokédex entry|Pokédex entries]] state that Ditto transforms into a stone when sleeping in order to avoid being attacked.

===Pokémon Crystal===
{{game|Crystal}}'s [[game intro|intro]] starts with a {{p|Ditto}} transforming into the [[Game Freak]] logo.

===Pokémon Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum===
[[File:Ditto Clefairy.png|thumb|left|Game Corner "Clefairy"]]
In {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}, the [[Veilstone Game Corner]], during the Game Corner slot machine game, a {{p|Clefairy}} with a Ditto face will occasionally appear instead of a real Clefairy.

===Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon===
In {{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}}, the player can encounter a Ditto transformed into a human at the Police Station on {{rt|9|Alola}}. After battling it, the player is tasked with apprehending the remaining [[Alola Route 9#The Ditto Five|Ditto Five]], also transformed into humans, in [[Konikoni City]].

===Pokémon Scarlet and Violet===
In [[The Indigo Disk]], various [[Blueberry Quest|Ditto Blocks]] can be found as objectives in [[Blueberry Quest]]s throughout the [[Terarium]], where Ditto will seemingly transform into one of the many cubes with rounded edges that make up many of the structures of the Terarium.

==In the side series games==
In the [[Pokémon Stadium series]], {{pkmn|Colosseum}}, {{pkmn|XD: Gale of Darkness}}, and {{pkmn|Battle Revolution}}, which feature [[Pokemon battle]]s based on the core series games, {{p|Ditto}}'s only available [[move]] is {{m|Transform}}.

===Pokémon Stadium series===
In {{g|Stadium}} and {{pkmn|Stadium 2}}, a Ditto transforms into the countdown "3", "2", "1", "GO!" seen at the start of any [[Pokémon Stadium series mini-games|mini-game]].

===Pokémon HOME===
In [[Pokémon HOME]], several [[Medal (HOME)|medals]] feature transformed Ditto.

</gallery></center>

==In the spin-off games==
===Pokémon GO===
In [[Pokémon GO]], Ditto first became available on November 23, 2016. It appears disguised as other {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} in the {{pkmn2|wild}}. Players will only find out whether a Pokémon is a Ditto if successfully [[caught Pokémon|captured]], upon which a cutscene will show the Pokémon transforming back into Ditto.

===Pokémon Masters EX===
In [[Pokémon Masters EX]], the [[April Fools' Day 2022]] event "[[Find the Ditto impostors!]]" features several Trainer duplicates which are in fact Ditto transformed into humans.

===Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series===
In the [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series]], much like in the [[core series]] games, {{p|Ditto}}'s only available [[move]] is {{m|Transform}}.

====Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky====
In [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky]], the [[Special Episode]] "[[Here Comes Team Charm!]]" features a Ditto who transforms into {{p|Sentret}} and {{p|Bellossom}} while retaining its face. This Ditto is also able to transform into a [[Treasure Box]].

Additionally, in Tournament Mode, by holding '''L''', '''R''' and '''A''' together, the game will select a random character. That player's avatar will appear as Ditto until the match starts.

====Super Smash Bros. Ultimate====
In [[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]], the {{p|Ditto}} summoned from the Poké Ball transforms into a purple version of the fighter who used this item.

===Pokémon Pokopia===
In {{g|Pokopia}}, a {{poko|Ditto}} transforms into a [[human]] to create a place for humans and Pokémon. This Ditto can also transform into a {{p|Lapras}}, {{p|Graveler}}, {{p|Dragonite}}, and {{p|Magnemite}} to travel across water, roll across land, glide over the ground, and hover in the air, respectively.

When using other moves via the [[Transform (specialty)|Transform]] [[specialty]], the body parts of Ditto transform, such as turning arms to vines for {{m|Leafage}} and gaining {{p|Squirtle}}'s shell for {{m|Water Gun}}.

Ditto can also transform into different items through the use of {{m|Camouflage}}.

===Eevee × Tamagotchi===
In [[Eevee × Tamagotchi]], an {{p|Eevee}} with minimal care and food becomes a {{p|Ditto}} transformed into Eevee.

===Pokémon Trozei series===
In [[Pokémon Trozei!]] and {{pkmn|Battle Trozei}}, the puzzle games usually involve forming combos of at least four Pokémon of the same species. Although Ditto is not seen transforming in-game, it works a "wild card", counting as any Pokémon for the purpose of forming combos.

In [[Pokémon Shuffle]], before Ditto was legitimately available, it was originally coded as a wild card like in the previous games. However, instead of being a wild card, Ditto was released in 2017 with the [[Skill (Shuffle)|Transform]] skill, which causes up to 3 Ditto to transform into another support Pokémon.

===Pokémon Zany Cards===
{{missing image||Add Ditto transformed into the hearts symbol}}

In [[Pokémon Zany Cards]], the [[Special Seven]] card game (a variant of {{wp|one-card}}) involves discarding the cards from the player's hand if they match the rank or suit of the latest card added to the discard pile.

Special Seven features four Ditto cards, one of each suit (the eight of spades, hearts, diamonds, and clubs). When a Ditto card is discarded, the player chooses the suit it will transform to using "Ditto's Transform". This also features a short animation where Ditto visually transforms into the suit symbol with the Ditto face.

{{missing image|section|Add images of Ditto transformations in {{aniseries|PTS}}}}
===={{aniseries|OS}}====
In ''[[EP037|Ditto's Mysterious Mansion]]'', [[Duplica's Ditto]] transformed into [[Ash's Pikachu]], [[Ash's Bulbasaur]], a {{p|Voltorb}}, a {{p|Machoke}}, and Team Rocket's {{OBP|Meowth|Team Rocket}}, while still retaining its original face. At some point, [[Jessie]] showed Duplica's Ditto a picture of a young boy with blue hair and requested to see how he would look like as an adult, but Ditto transformed into a picture of the adult man while still retaining Ditto's original face. Jessie also wanted Ditto to transform into {{p|Dratini}}, but once she showed it a book with Dratini's picture, Ditto transformed into a book instead. At the end of this episode, Duplica's Ditto learned how to transform perfectly, including its face.

In ''[[EP111|Hello Pummelo]]'', {{OBP|Drake|Orange League}}'s Ditto transformed into Ash's Pikachu.

===={{aniseries|JN}}====
In ''[[JN019|A Talent for Imitation!]]'', a Ditto actor hired by [[Kublock]]'s studio was often failing to Transform accurately, until it learned how to perfect the transformations by slapping its own face for motivation. It is seen transformed into {{p|Gardevoir}}, {{p|Absol}}, {{p|Glaceon}} (overweight), {{p|Salamence}} (curly-tailed), {{p|Eevee}}, {{p|Poliwag}}, {{p|Wooper}}, [[Jessie's Wobbuffet]], [[Meowth (Team Rocket)|Team Rocket's Meowth]], and [[Ash's Pikachu]]. Ditto retains its original face in most transformations, except it copies the faces of Gardevoir, Salamence, and Wobbuffet. While transformed into Salamence and Wobbuffet, it also reverts back to the Ditto face again.

====Pikachu shorts====
In [[PK15]], a Ditto is transformed into {{p|Cubone}}.

==={{aniseries|HZ}}===
Ditto Blocks, including a {{shiny}} one, appeared in ''[[HZ118|Liko and Hattrem, Bonded by Happiness! ]]

Introduced in the ''[[Wonder Voyage]]'' arc, the Ditto that travels with the [[Rising Volt Tacklers]] retains its original face and size when transforming, similar to both of Duplica's Ditto from {{aniseries|PtS}}. Unlike other Ditto in the Pokémon animated series, this Ditto is often seen transforming into inanimate objects, and even tranformed into [[Dot]]'s internet persona, Nidothing. Ditto can also transform into the body parts of other Pokémon, such as {{p|Meowscarada}}'s tail or {{p|Nosepass}}'s nose.

===POKÉTOON===
In ''[[PT04|Wait for Me, Magikarp!]]'', there is a single real {{p|Bulbasaur}} together with a group of Ditto transformed into Bulbasaur. All the Ditto reveal themselves when a little girl hugs the real Bulbasaur.

===Ditto There===
In the music video [[Ditto There]], a Ditto transformed into a rock. Later, a Ditto transformed into a flawless Pikachu and a second Ditto transformed into a Pikachu while retaining its face. In a battle between two Ditto, they repeatedly transformed into each other, retaining their original appearance except one of them transformed backwards and the other transformed upside-down. A Ditto transformed into {{p|Pidgey}}, and then it met a group consisting of a {{p|Mareep}}, a {{p|Clefairy}}, a {{p|Psyduck}}, and an {{p|Omanyte}} which were all revealed to be transformed Ditto.

===Pokémon Adventures===
===={{MangaArc|Red, Green & Blue}}====
In ''[[PS016|Tauros the Tyrant]]'', {{adv|Green}}'s Ditto named [[Ditty]] was introduced. After both Ditty and [[Team Rocket Elite Trio|Ken]]'s {{p|Tauros}} fell off a cliff together, only Tauros came back from the cliff. However, it was soon revealed that the Tauros who came back was actually Ditty transformed into Tauros.

In ''[[PS017|The Jynx Jinx]]'', Ditty transformed into {{p|Mew}} in order to keep Ken and Team Rocket occupied.

In ''[[PS030|Zap! Zap! Zapdos!]]'', Ditty was disguised as [[Blasty]].

In ''[[PS032|A Little Kadabra'll Do It]]'', Green appeared disguised into Sabrina, wearing Ditto transformed into Sabrina's face. However, when the fake Sabrina met Red, [[Pika]] was not fooled by the disguise.

===={{MangaArc|Yellow}}====
In ''[[PS059|Hitmonlee, Baby! (One More Time)]]'', Green sneaked into [[Bill]]'s house at the [[Sea Cottage]] by using Ditty partially transformed as the house key.

In the events between ''[[PS069|Playing Horsea]]'' and ''[[PS084|Clefabulous Clefable]]'', at [[Cerise Island]], Ditty had been secretly transformed into Green's right arm while she was wearing a jacket over her dress. In the meantime, Green and [[Sabrina]] were seemingly bound together by Lorelei's ice handcuffs. Ultimately, Ditty was revealed after Green's arm appeared to be severed like the arm of the ice voodoo doll in her likeness. Ditty then attacked Lorelei and her Jynx by extending as a long snake-like blob and then formed a cocoon around them.

In ''[[PS270|Now You See Me...]]'', Green's umbrella was eventually revealed to be Ditty transformed.

In ''[[PS272|Old Ultima Puts Them to the Test]]'', Ditty appeared a shapeless blob, thin enough to emerge from inside {{adv|Red}}'s closed backpack.

In ''[[PS274|Double Dealing with Deoxys]]'', a Deoxys appeared to attack [[Ultima]], {{adv|Red}}, and {{adv|Blue}}. In ''[[PS276|My, My, My Mimic]]'', Ultima revealed that this Deoxys was actually a transformed Ditty, and it showed its Ditto face while still transformed into Deoxys. In a flashback, Ditty was also able to simultaneously transform into Green and Deoxys in order to inform Ultima about Deoxys's attack at the [[Seagallop]].

[[File:Main menu Eevee.png|thumb|350px|The main menu of [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!|Pokémon: Let's Go, Eevee!]]]]
The '''main menu''' (Japanese: '''{{j|タイトルメニュー}}''' ''title menu'', also known as '''{{j|スタートメニュー}}''' ''start menu''<ref>Pokémon Crystal Version: Mobile Guide (ポケットモンスター　クリスタルバージョンモバイルのてびき), page 8 (Nintendo, 2001)</ref>) is the first menu available after booting a game or other software. In video games, it typically appears right after the title screen.

==In the core series games==
The main menu is available in the [[core series]] [[Pokémon games]] from [[Generation I]] to [[Generation VII]]. From [[Generation VIII]] onwards, the most recent [[save]] is automatically loaded after the title screen.

In {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s|Pokémon FireRed, LeafGreen}} and [[Generation IV]], the main menu is hidden when there is no [[save]]; the player must first create a save file in order to access the main menu.

{{Search|title screen menu|the overworld menu|Menu}}
[[File:Main menu Eevee.png|thumb|350px|The main menu of [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!|Pokémon: Let's Go, Eevee!]]]]
The '''main menu''' (Japanese: '''{{j|タイトルメニュー}}''' ''title menu'', also known as '''{{j|スタートメニュー}}''' ''start menu''<ref>Pokémon Crystal Version: Mobile Guide (ポケットモンスター　クリスタルバージョンモバイルのてびき), page 8 (Nintendo, 2001)</ref>) is the first menu available after booting a game or other software. In video games, it typically appears right after the title screen.

==In the core series games==
The main menu is available in the [[core series]] [[Pokémon games]] from [[Generation I]] to [[Generation VII]]. From [[Generation VIII]] onwards, the most recent [[save]] is automatically loaded after the title screen.

In {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s|Pokémon FireRed, LeafGreen}} and [[Generation IV]], the main menu is hidden when there is no [[save]]; the player must first create a save file in order to access the main menu.

[[File:Main menu Eevee.png|thumb|350px|The main menu of [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!|Pokémon: Let's Go, Eevee!]]]]
The '''main menu''' (Japanese: '''{{j|タイトルメニュー}}''' ''title menu'', also known as '''{{j|スタートメニュー}}''' ''start menu''<ref>Pokémon Crystal Version: Mobile Guide (ポケットモンスター　クリスタルバージョンモバイルのてびき), page 8 (Nintendo, 2001)</ref>) is the first menu available after booting a game or other software. In video games, it typically appears right after the title screen.

==In the core series games==
The main menu is available in the [[core series]] [[Pokémon games]] from [[Generation I]] to [[Generation VII]]. From [[Generation VIII]] onwards, the most recent [[save]] is automatically loaded after the title screen.

In {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s|Pokémon FireRed, LeafGreen}} and [[Generation IV]], the main menu is hidden when there is no [[save]]; the player must first create a save file in order to access the main menu.

[[File:Main menu Eevee.png|thumb|350px|The main menu of [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!|Pokémon: Let's Go, Eevee!]]]]
The '''main menu''' (Japanese: '''{{j|タイトルメニュー}}''' ''title menu'', also known as '''{{j|スタートメニュー}}''' ''start menu''<ref>Pokémon Crystal Version: Mobile Guide (ポケットモンスター　クリスタルバージョンモバイルのてびき), page 8 (Nintendo, 2001)</ref>) is the first menu available after booting a video game. It typically appears right after the title screen.

==In the core series games==
The main menu is available in the [[core series]] [[Pokémon games]] from [[Generation I]] to [[Generation VII]]. From [[Generation VIII]] onwards, the most recent [[save]] is automatically loaded after the title screen.

In {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s|Pokémon FireRed, LeafGreen}} and [[Generation IV]], the main menu is hidden when there is no [[save]]; the player must first create a save file in order to access the main menu.

[[File:Main menu Eevee.png|thumb|350px|The main menu of [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!|Pokémon: Let's Go, Eevee!]]]]
The '''main menu''' (Japanese: '''{{j|タイトルメニュー}}''' ''title menu'', also known as '''{{j|スタートメニュー}}''' ''start menu''<ref>Pokémon Crystal Version: Mobile Guide (ポケットモンスター　クリスタルバージョンモバイルのてびき), page 8 (Nintendo, 2001)</ref>) is the first menu available after booting a video game. It typically appears right after the title screen.

==In the core series games==
The main menu is available in the [[core series]] [[Pokémon games]] from [[Generation I]] to [[Generation VII]]. From [[Generation VIII]] onwards, the most recent [[save]] is automatically loaded after the title screen.

In {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s|Pokémon FireRed, LeafGreen}} and [[Generation IV]], the main menu is hidden when there is no [[save]]; the player must first create a save file in order to access the main menu.

Giant Pokémon

2026-07-05T11:38:55Z

Daniel Carrero: /* In the spin-off games */

:''Not to be confused with [[gigantic Pokémon]]''.
[[File:Path of Legends artwork.png|thumb|350px|Artwork of {{p|Klawf}}, the [[Titan Pokémon|Stony Cliff Titan]] from [[Pokémon HOME]]]]
'''Giant Pokémon''' are a recurring theme in the [[Pokémon world]]. In the broadest sense, they are Pokémon who are much larger than is typical for their [[Pokémon (species)|species]].

Notable groups of giant Pokémon include [[Totem Pokémon]], [[alpha Pokémon]], [[noble Pokémon]], the {{hi|Ride Pokémon}} of [[Hisui]], and [[Titan Pokémon]]. Additionally, some Pokémon can become giant temporarily through processes such as [[Dynamax]] or [[Gigantamax]].

Note that this page is primarily concerned with large organic Pokémon. Giant artificial structures or robots made in the shape of Pokémon, such as [[Team Rocket's mechas]] or the robots at [[Pokémon Land]] in ''[[EP017|Island of the Giant Pokémon]]'', are therefore not listed here.

==In the core series games==
[[File:Pokémon HOME Wallpaper Alpha Pokémon.png|thumb|200px|Artwork of an {{pkmn2|alpha}} {{p|Ursaring}} from [[Pokémon HOME]]]]
{{main|Size and weight variation}}

===Pokémon Gold, Silver, Crystal, HeartGold, and SoulSilver===
In {{game5|Gold|Silver|Crystal|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, although no giant Pokémon make a direct appearance, a legend stated that a 100-foot-tall {{p|Bellsprout}} formed the basis for the central pillar of [[Sprout Tower]].

In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, southeast of the [[Lake of Rage]] is a house where a [[Fishing Brothers|Fishing Guru]] resides. His greatest dream is to see the world's largest Magikarp, and he regularly measures those brought to him in order to realize it. If he is shown a Magikarp, he will calculate its size and give the player an [[Elixir]] if it is bigger than the largest one he had seen before. Initially, this record is 3'6" and held by [[Johto Route 32#Trainers|Ralph]].

===Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire, Emerald, Omega Ruby, and Alpha Sapphire===
In {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s|Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire}}, {{pkmn|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire|Omega Ruby, and Alpha Sapphire}}, there are two men living in [[Sootopolis City]] who want the player to bring them large specimens of {{p|Barboach}} and {{p|Shroomish}}. Likewise, in {{game|Emerald}}, the same two men want the player to bring them large specimens of {{p|Lotad}} and {{p|Seedot}}.

===Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen===
On {{rt|12|Kanto}} in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} lives the youngest of the [[Fishing Brothers]] who, after giving the player the [[Super Rod]], requests to see any large {{p|Magikarp}} that the player catches. If the player shows him a Magikarp, he will measure its size and reward the player with a [[Net Ball]]. In a house at the northern end of the [[Water Path]], there is a woman who likes big {{p|Heracross}} and wishes to see the "Ultimate Horn". If the player shows her a Heracross, she will measure its size and reward the player with a [[Nest Ball]].

===Pokémon Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum===
On {{rt|222|Sinnoh}} in {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}} lives a {{tc|Fisherman}} who dreams that a Trainer would bring him a giant {{p|Remoraid}}. He will give the player a Net Ball if shown a larger Remoraid than the one listed.

===Pokémon Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon===
In {{game4|SMUSUM}}, [[Totem Pokémon]] are a type of [[variant Pokémon]] that appear at the end of [[Alola]]'s [[island challenge|island trials]]. Due to the influence of the energy emanated from [[Ultra Wormhole]]s, these Pokémon appear larger and weigh approximately two to four times as much as other Pokémon of the same species. In Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon, the player can obtain Pokémon {{DL|Totem Pokémon|Totem-sized Pokémon|the size of Totems}} by collecting [[Totem Sticker]]s and presenting them to [[Samson Oak]] at [[Heahea Beach]].

===Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!===
In {{LGPE}}, Pokémon have size variations; Pokémon that are size L and XL are larger than average, though these size differences are not visible.

===Pokémon Sword and Shield===
[[File:Sword Shield Max Raid Battle artwork.png|thumb|200px|Artwork of [[Dynamax]] {{p|Pangoro}} in a [[Max Raid Battle]]]]
In {{g|Sword and Shield}}, a phenomenon known as [[Dynamax]] can make a Pokémon temporarily grow to giant size, upgrading its moves into [[Max Move]]s in the process. Some Pokémon can undergo a related process called [[Gigantamax]], which additionally changes their appearance.

===Pokémon Legends: Arceus===
In {{g|Legends: Arceus}}, there is a variation of Pokémon known as [[alpha Pokémon]]. These Pokémon are known to be larger, stronger, and more aggressive than normal Pokémon and have red eyes. The [[noble Pokémon]] (particularly {{p|Avalugg}}) and {{hi|Ride Pokémon}} that the player encounters as part of the game's story are also bigger than other Pokémon of their kin. Additionally, all Pokémon come in various sizes, with some being dramatically larger than others of their species.

===Pokémon Scarlet and Violet===
In {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}, there is a variation of Pokémon known as [[Titan Pokémon]] that are considerably larger and stronger than normal Pokémon. There are also five vehicles called [[Starmobile]]s that the player battles during the ★ Starfall Street ★ storyline which are each installed with {{p|Revavroom}} that are larger than others of their species.

Additionally, Pokémon once again come in a range of sizes, with some being significantly larger than average. Their size can be judged by a Hiker next to the West [[Mesagoza]] [[Pokémon Center]]. If the player shows off a Pokémon with a [[Size and weight variation#Generation IX|scale]] of 255 or 0, the {{tc|Hiker}} will give that Pokémon a Jumbo or Mini [[Mark]], respectively.

|}

===Pokémon Legends: Z-A===
In {{g|Legends: Z-A}}, [[alpha Pokémon]] return, maintaining their large size, aggressive behavior, powerful stats, and red eyes from {{g|Legends: Arceus}}. Pokémon undergoing [[Rogue Mega Evolution]] also become larger than usual while Mega Evolved. Pokémon still have a range of size variations within their species, including sizes L and XL, which are larger than average.
{{-}}

==In the side series games==
===Pokémon Champions===
Like in the later [[core series]] games, [[Pokémon Champions]] features Pokémon [[Size and weight variation|size variations]], with larger than typical sizes going up to L, XL, and XXL.

==In the spin-off games==
===Hey You, Pikachu!===
In [[Hey You, Pikachu!]] one of the activities involves {{p|Pikachu}} [[fishing]], and it is possible to fish Pokémon much larger than average. There is also an {{p|Oddish}} that, instead of evolving, grows larger when it is watered, until it is at least ten times Pikachu's size.

===Pokémon Ranger: Guardian Signs===
In {{g|Ranger: Guardian Signs}}, {{Ra|Hocus}} attacks the player with a giant {{p|Crobat}} when he is faced in the [[Sky Fortress]].

===Super Smash Bros. series===
[[File:Jigglypuff Puff Up.png|thumb|right|250px|Jigglypuff's {{DL|Final Smash|Puff Up}}]]
In the [[Super Smash Bros. series]], the player can temporarily be enlarged by eating the {{sbw|Super Mushroom}}. Additionally, {{SSB|Jigglypuff}}'s {{sbw|Final Smash}}, Puff Up, can make Jigglypuff temporarily gigantic, plus knocking out any opponent near it.

===Pokémon GO===
In {{g|GO}}, {{GO|Raid Battle|Raid Bosses}} are giant Pokémon with stats that are higher than that of regular Pokémon. Once defeated, they will shrink down to normal size and can be captured. Also, as in recent core series games, Pokémon vary in size; Pokémon that are sizes XL and XXL are significantly larger than average for their species.

===Pokemon Sleep===
In {{g|Sleep}}, each {{p|Snorlax}} can grow to be quite large as it is raised throughout the week. Snorlax all start at the same size while at Normal ranking, growing larger twice as they reach Great and Ultra, finally reaching their maximum size when they achieve the Master ranking.

===Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series===
In the {{g|Mystery Dungeon series}} prior to {{g|Mystery Dungeon: Gates to Infinity}}, each species of Pokémon is assigned a fixed [[body size]] from 0 to 4. When taking a team into a dungeon, the combined body size of the Pokémon in the team may not exceed a certain amount (at most of any dungeon, 6). Note that certain dungeons may restrict this further, and may also restrict the sheer number of Pokémon allowed in the dungeon.

In {{g|Mystery Dungeon: Gates to Infinity}}, the body size system was revised: each Pokémon species is either of standard size (occupying one tile), or is a [[gigantic Pokémon]] (occupying nine tiles). Gigantic Pokémon have the additional trait of longer reach with their attacks, and some moves will have completely-different effects when used by a gigantic Pokémon.

In {{g|Super Mystery Dungeon}}, gigantic Pokémon became recruitable, with the same traits as they had in Gates to Infinity. However, only up to one Gigantic Pokémon may be included in a team when entering a dungeon. This restriction was removed in {{g|Mystery Dungeon: Rescue Team DX}}.

Several ancient giant Pokémon appeared in ''[[EP072|The Ancient Puzzle of Pokémopolis]]''. These Pokémon were all covered in tattoo-like marks. Gengar emerged from a black vajra-like artifact, Alakazam emerged from a spoon-like artifact, and Jigglypuff emerged from an ancient bell.

[[File:Slowpoke planet-size.png|thumb|200px|Planet-sized Slowpoke (imaginary)]]
===Pokémon Adventures===
In [[Pokémon Adventures]], {{p|Dragonite}} are generally shown larger than they usually are, as with some other Pokémon.

===={{MangaArc|Yellow}}====
In ''[[PS074|Make Way for Magikarp]]'', a giant {{pkmn2|wild}} {{p|Onix}} was used by [[Bruno]] as a battlefield in his battle against {{adv|Bill}} and [[Lt. Surge]] on [[Cerise Island]]. This particular Onix is much longer than normal, allowing it to be used as a stone bridge.

===={{MangaArc|Sword & Shield}}====
{{main|Gigantamax|section=Pokémon Adventures}}
In this manga arc, there are several [[Gigantamax]] Pokémon.

===The Electric Tale of Pikachu===
In ''[[ET04|Haunting My Dreams]]'', [[Sabrina]] was attacked by a giant {{p|Haunter}} called the [[Black Fog]]. The Black Fog was an unusually large Haunter who had lived in [[Lavender Town]] since ancient times and had a {{m|Dream Eater}} attack powerful enough to suck out one's soul. Ancient people had treated it like a god, and due to this, it eventually chose to kill itself with {{m|Self-Destruct}} rather than be {{pkmn2|caught}} by {{OBP|Ash Ketchum|EToP|Ash}}.

In ''[[ET19|Side Story: Ash vs. Gary]]'', Ash caught a giant {{p|Slowpoke}}, but gave it to {{Gary}} soon after in exchange for a photo of his sister [[Daisy Oak|May]]. After being traded, it evolved into a {{p|Slowbro}}. Slowpoke's size is also exaggerated when [[Giovanni]] explained [[Team Rocket]]'s plan to use a powerful {{p|Slowpoke}} to take over the world, where this was represented by the image of a planet-sized Slowpoke on top of the world.

===Pokémon Gold & Silver: The Golden Boys===
In ''[[GB10|A Huge Mysterious Tree!!]]'', {{GnB|Gold}} encountered a giant {{p|Sudowoodo}} blocking {{rt|36|Johto}}. However, it soon turned out that Sudowoodo only seemed giant due to the multiple layers of mud it had gathered on itself, and once those were removed, all that was left was a normal-sized Sudowoodo.

In ''[[GB19|The Truth About The Mysterious Whirl Islands!!]]'', Gold encountered a giant, one-hundred-year-old {{p|Blastoise}} at the [[Whirl Islands]]. He was forced to defeat it in order to obtain a [[Silver Wing]] and meet {{p|Lugia}}.

===Pokémon Journeys===
{{main|Gigantamax|section=Pokémon Journeys}}
In [[Pokémon Journeys]], there are several Gigantamax Pokémon.

Giant Pokémon

Daniel Carrero: /* Super Smash Bros. series */

:''Not to be confused with [[gigantic Pokémon]]''.
[[File:Path of Legends artwork.png|thumb|350px|Artwork of {{p|Klawf}}, the [[Titan Pokémon|Stony Cliff Titan]] from [[Pokémon HOME]]]]
'''Giant Pokémon''' are a recurring theme in the [[Pokémon world]]. In the broadest sense, they are Pokémon who are much larger than is typical for their [[Pokémon (species)|species]].

Notable groups of giant Pokémon include [[Totem Pokémon]], [[alpha Pokémon]], [[noble Pokémon]], the {{hi|Ride Pokémon}} of [[Hisui]], and [[Titan Pokémon]]. Additionally, some Pokémon can become giant temporarily through processes such as [[Dynamax]] or [[Gigantamax]].

Note that this page is primarily concerned with large organic Pokémon. Giant artificial structures or robots made in the shape of Pokémon, such as [[Team Rocket's mechas]] or the robots at [[Pokémon Land]] in ''[[EP017|Island of the Giant Pokémon]]'', are therefore not listed here.

==In the core series games==

{{main|Size and weight variation}}

===Pokémon Gold, Silver, Crystal, HeartGold, and SoulSilver===
In {{game5|Gold|Silver|Crystal|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, although no giant Pokémon make a direct appearance, a legend stated that a 100-foot-tall {{p|Bellsprout}} formed the basis for the central pillar of [[Sprout Tower]].

In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, southeast of the [[Lake of Rage]] is a house where a [[Fishing Brothers|Fishing Guru]] resides. His greatest dream is to see the world's largest Magikarp, and he regularly measures those brought to him in order to realize it. If he is shown a Magikarp, he will calculate its size and give the player an [[Elixir]] if it is bigger than the largest one he had seen before. Initially, this record is 3'6" and held by [[Johto Route 32#Trainers|Ralph]].

===Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire, Emerald, Omega Ruby, and Alpha Sapphire===
In {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s|Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire}}, {{pkmn|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire|Omega Ruby, and Alpha Sapphire}}, there are two men living in [[Sootopolis City]] who want the player to bring them large specimens of {{p|Barboach}} and {{p|Shroomish}}. Likewise, in {{game|Emerald}}, the same two men want the player to bring them large specimens of {{p|Lotad}} and {{p|Seedot}}.

===Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen===
On {{rt|12|Kanto}} in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} lives the youngest of the [[Fishing Brothers]] who, after giving the player the [[Super Rod]], requests to see any large {{p|Magikarp}} that the player catches. If the player shows him a Magikarp, he will measure its size and reward the player with a [[Net Ball]]. In a house at the northern end of the [[Water Path]], there is a woman who likes big {{p|Heracross}} and wishes to see the "Ultimate Horn". If the player shows her a Heracross, she will measure its size and reward the player with a [[Nest Ball]].

===Pokémon Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum===
On {{rt|222|Sinnoh}} in {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}} lives a {{tc|Fisherman}} who dreams that a Trainer would bring him a giant {{p|Remoraid}}. He will give the player a Net Ball if shown a larger Remoraid than the one listed.

===Pokémon Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon===
In {{game4|SMUSUM}}, [[Totem Pokémon]] are a type of [[variant Pokémon]] that appear at the end of [[Alola]]'s [[island challenge|island trials]]. Due to the influence of the energy emanated from [[Ultra Wormhole]]s, these Pokémon appear larger and weigh approximately two to four times as much as other Pokémon of the same species. In Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon, the player can obtain Pokémon {{DL|Totem Pokémon|Totem-sized Pokémon|the size of Totems}} by collecting [[Totem Sticker]]s and presenting them to [[Samson Oak]] at [[Heahea Beach]].

===Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!===
In {{LGPE}}, Pokémon have size variations; Pokémon that are size L and XL are larger than average, though these size differences are not visible.

===Pokémon Sword and Shield===
[[File:Sword Shield Max Raid Battle artwork.png|thumb|200px|Artwork of [[Dynamax]] {{p|Pangoro}} in a [[Max Raid Battle]]]]
In {{g|Sword and Shield}}, a phenomenon known as [[Dynamax]] can make a Pokémon temporarily grow to giant size, upgrading its moves into [[Max Move]]s in the process. Some Pokémon can undergo a related process called [[Gigantamax]], which additionally changes their appearance.

===Pokémon Legends: Arceus===
In {{g|Legends: Arceus}}, there is a variation of Pokémon known as [[alpha Pokémon]]. These Pokémon are known to be larger, stronger, and more aggressive than normal Pokémon and have red eyes. The [[noble Pokémon]] (particularly {{p|Avalugg}}) and {{hi|Ride Pokémon}} that the player encounters as part of the game's story are also bigger than other Pokémon of their kin. Additionally, all Pokémon come in various sizes, with some being dramatically larger than others of their species.

===Pokémon Scarlet and Violet===
In {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}, there is a variation of Pokémon known as [[Titan Pokémon]] that are considerably larger and stronger than normal Pokémon. There are also five vehicles called [[Starmobile]]s that the player battles during the ★ Starfall Street ★ storyline which are each installed with {{p|Revavroom}} that are larger than others of their species.

Additionally, Pokémon once again come in a range of sizes, with some being significantly larger than average. Their size can be judged by a Hiker next to the West [[Mesagoza]] [[Pokémon Center]]. If the player shows off a Pokémon with a [[Size and weight variation#Generation IX|scale]] of 255 or 0, the {{tc|Hiker}} will give that Pokémon a Jumbo or Mini [[Mark]], respectively.

===Pokémon Legends: Z-A===
In {{g|Legends: Z-A}}, [[alpha Pokémon]] return, maintaining their large size, aggressive behavior, powerful stats, and red eyes from {{g|Legends: Arceus}}. Pokémon undergoing [[Rogue Mega Evolution]] also become larger than usual while Mega Evolved. Pokémon still have a range of size variations within their species, including sizes L and XL, which are larger than average.
{{-}}

==In the side series games==
===Pokémon Champions===
Like in the later [[core series]] games, [[Pokémon Champions]] features Pokémon [[Size and weight variation|size variations]], with larger than typical sizes going up to L, XL, and XXL.

==In the spin-off games==
===Hey You, Pikachu!===
In [[Hey You, Pikachu!]] one of the activities involves {{p|Pikachu}} [[fishing]], and it is possible to fish Pokémon much larger than average. There is also an {{p|Oddish}} that, instead of evolving, grows larger when it is watered, until it is at least ten times Pikachu's size.

===Pokémon Ranger: Guardian Signs===
In {{g|Ranger: Guardian Signs}}, {{Ra|Hocus}} attacks the player with a giant {{p|Crobat}} when he is faced in the [[Sky Fortress]].

===Super Smash Bros. series===
[[File:Jigglypuff Puff Up.png|thumb|right|250px]]
In the [[Super Smash Bros. series]], the player can temporarily be enlarged by eating the {{sbw|Super Mushroom}}. Additionally, {{SSB|Jigglypuff}}'s {{sbw|Final Smash}}, Puff Up, can make Jigglypuff temporarily gigantic, plus knocking out any opponent near it.

===Pokémon GO===
In {{g|GO}}, {{GO|Raid Battle|Raid Bosses}} are giant Pokémon with stats that are higher than that of regular Pokémon. Once defeated, they will shrink down to normal size and can be captured. Also, as in recent core series games, Pokémon vary in size; Pokémon that are sizes XL and XXL are significantly larger than average for their species.

===Pokemon Sleep===
In {{g|Sleep}}, each {{p|Snorlax}} can grow to be quite large as it is raised throughout the week. Snorlax all start at the same size while at Normal ranking, growing larger twice as they reach Great and Ultra, finally reaching their maximum size when they achieve the Master ranking.

===Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series===
In the {{g|Mystery Dungeon series}} prior to {{g|Mystery Dungeon: Gates to Infinity}}, each species of Pokémon is assigned a fixed [[body size]] from 0 to 4. When taking a team into a dungeon, the combined body size of the Pokémon in the team may not exceed a certain amount (at most of any dungeon, 6). Note that certain dungeons may restrict this further, and may also restrict the sheer number of Pokémon allowed in the dungeon.

In {{g|Mystery Dungeon: Gates to Infinity}}, the body size system was revised: each Pokémon species is either of standard size (occupying one tile), or is a [[gigantic Pokémon]] (occupying nine tiles). Gigantic Pokémon have the additional trait of longer reach with their attacks, and some moves will have completely-different effects when used by a gigantic Pokémon.

In {{g|Super Mystery Dungeon}}, gigantic Pokémon became recruitable, with the same traits as they had in Gates to Infinity. However, only up to one Gigantic Pokémon may be included in a team when entering a dungeon. This restriction was removed in {{g|Mystery Dungeon: Rescue Team DX}}.

In [[Pokémon Adventures]], {{p|Dragonite}} are generally shown larger than they usually are, as with some other Pokémon.

===={{MangaArc|Yellow}}====
In ''[[PS074|Make Way for Magikarp]]'', a giant {{pkmn2|wild}} {{p|Onix}} was used by [[Bruno]] as a battlefield in his battle against {{adv|Bill}} and [[Lt. Surge]] on [[Cerise Island]]. This particular Onix is much longer than normal, allowing it to be used as a stone bridge.

===={{MangaArc|Sword & Shield}}====
{{main|Gigantamax|section=Pokémon Adventures}}
In this manga arc, there are several [[Gigantamax]] Pokémon.

===The Electric Tale of Pikachu===
In ''[[ET04|Haunting My Dreams]]'', [[Sabrina]] was attacked by a giant {{p|Haunter}} called the [[Black Fog]]. The Black Fog was an unusually large Haunter who had lived in [[Lavender Town]] since ancient times and had a {{m|Dream Eater}} attack powerful enough to suck out one's soul. Ancient people had treated it like a god, and due to this, it eventually chose to kill itself with {{m|Self-Destruct}} rather than be {{pkmn2|caught}} by {{OBP|Ash Ketchum|EToP|Ash}}.

In ''[[ET19|Side Story: Ash vs. Gary]]'', Ash caught a giant {{p|Slowpoke}}, but gave it to {{Gary}} soon after in exchange for a photo of his sister [[Daisy Oak|May]]. After being traded, it evolved into a {{p|Slowbro}}. Slowpoke's size is also exaggerated when [[Giovanni]] explained [[Team Rocket]]'s plan to use a powerful {{p|Slowpoke}} to take over the world, where this was represented by the image of a planet-sized Slowpoke on top of the world.

===Pokémon Gold & Silver: The Golden Boys===
In ''[[GB10|A Huge Mysterious Tree!!]]'', {{GnB|Gold}} encountered a giant {{p|Sudowoodo}} blocking {{rt|36|Johto}}. However, it soon turned out that Sudowoodo only seemed giant due to the multiple layers of mud it had gathered on itself, and once those were removed, all that was left was a normal-sized Sudowoodo.

In ''[[GB19|The Truth About The Mysterious Whirl Islands!!]]'', Gold encountered a giant, one-hundred-year-old {{p|Blastoise}} at the [[Whirl Islands]]. He was forced to defeat it in order to obtain a [[Silver Wing]] and meet {{p|Lugia}}.

===Pokémon Journeys===
{{main|Gigantamax|section=Pokémon Journeys}}
In [[Pokémon Journeys]], there are several Gigantamax Pokémon.

Ditto transformations

2026-07-05T01:33:57Z

Daniel Carrero: /* In the side series games */

[[File:Duplica Ditto Bulbasaur.png|thumb|250px|[[Duplica's Ditto]] transformed into [[Ash's Bulbasaur]]]]
There are several instances of '''{{p|Ditto}} {{m|Transform|transformations}}''' in Pokémon media.

In the [[core series]] games, a Pokémon that uses {{m|Transform}} accurately copies the appearance of the target. However, starting with [[Duplica's Ditto]] in the {{aniseries|OS}} episode ''[[EP037|Ditto's Mysterious Mansion]]'', several Ditto in various Pokémon media retain their original faces while transformed.

==Transformation types==
===Perfect copy===
Any Pokémon who uses {{m|Transform}} becomes a visually perfect copy of the target in several games, as the same sprites or renders used for the transformation target are also used for the transformed Pokémon.

This is the case in the [[core series]] (except for the color palettes in early generations), the [[side series]], the [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series]] (except in "[[Here Comes Team Charm!]]" from [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky|Explorers of Sky]]), [[Pokémon GO]], [[Pokémon Masters EX]], [[Pokémon Ranger: Guardian Signs]], {{aniseries|PTS}} (with some exceptions like [[Duplica's Ditto]]), the [[POKÉTOON]] short ''[[PT04|Wait for Me, Magikarp!]]'', [[Pokémon Adventures]], and [[Magical Pokémon Journey]]. In [[Ditto There]], most but not all Ditto transform perfectly.

===Retaining original colors===
In [[Pokémon Red and Blue Versions|Pokémon Red, Blue]], [[Pokémon Yellow Version|Yellow]], [[Pokémon Gold and Silver Versions|Gold, Silver]], and [[Pokémon Crystal Version|Crystal]], any Pokémon who uses {{m|Transform}} retains its original color palette after transformed into other Pokémon. Specifically, Ditto's palette is gray (Generation I), purple (Generation II, non-Shiny), or blue (Generation II, Shiny).

In [[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]], the Ditto from the Poké Ball item transforms into a purple version of any fighter.

In [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]], Ditto transforms into a purple version of [[Ash Ketchum]].

Ditto Celebi.png|Ditto transformed into a purple {{p|Celebi}} in [[Generation II]]
Ditto Celebi Shiny.png|Shiny Ditto transformed into a blue Celebi in Generation II
</gallery></center>

===Retaining original Shininess===
In [[Pokémon Stadium 2]], [[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire Versions|Ruby, Sapphire]], [[Pokémon Emerald Version|Emerald]], [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions|FireRed, LeafGreen]], {{pkmn|Colosseum}}, and {{pkmn|XD: Gale of Darkness}}, any Pokémon who uses Transform retains its own Shininess or lack thereof.

For instance, if a Shiny Ditto uses Transform on a regular (blue) {{p|Gyarados}}, Ditto will appear as a Shiny (red) Gyarados.

<center><gallery widths=240px heights=160px>
Ditto Shiny Gyarados FRLG.png|Shiny Ditto transformed into {{p|Gyarados}} in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}
Ditto Shiny Mewtwo FRLG.png|Shiny Ditto transformed into {{p|Mewtwo}} in Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen
</gallery></center>

===Dimmed colors===
In {{game5|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald|FireRed|LeafGreen}}, any Pokémon who uses Transform appears with slightly dimmed colors.

===Retaining original face===
In the {{aniseries|OS}} episode ''[[EP037|Ditto's Mysterious Mansion]]'', [[Duplica's Ditto]] retained its original face while transformed until it eventually learned how to transform its face as well. This was presented as an anomaly, but several other Ditto in various [[Pokémon]] media have also been since depicted with their original face while transformed.

Other examples include the Ditto transformations seen in [[Pokémon Snap]], the [[Special Episode]] "[[Here Comes Team Charm!]]" from [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky]], [[Eevee × Tamagotchi]], [[Pokémon Zany Cards]], the [[Ditto Collection]] merchandise, [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]] manga, [[Pokémon Newspaper Strip]], the [[Ditto There]] music video, several Ditto cards from the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]], and the player {{poko|Ditto}} in [[Pokémon Pokopia]].

===Retaining original size===
In the {{aniseries|OS}} episode ''[[EP174|Imitation Confrontation]]'', Duplica's second Ditto named Mini-Dit was unable to change its size, turning into small copies of large Pokémon.

===Half-way transformation===
In [[Pokémon Adventures]], {{adv|Green}}'s [[Ditty]] is often seen in the process of transforming or turning back into its original form.

In [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]], [[Duplica's Ditto]] appears partially transformed into {{p|Machop}}.

A {{TCG|XY Black Star Promos|XY Black Star Promo}} {{TCG ID|XY Promo|Ditto|40}} card depicts a Ditto half-transformed into {{p|Pikachu}}. In [[Pokémon 4Koma Plaza]] #39, several Ditto appear half-transformed as well, each with a Pikachu head on a Ditto body.

===Other transformations===
In the [[Ditto There]] music video, a Ditto transforms into Ditto with its face on its back, and another Ditto transforms into a Ditto with its body upside-down but not its face.

==In the core series games==
[[File:SV Ditto Block.png|thumb|250px|Ditto Block]]

In the [[core series]] games, Ditto's only available [[move]] is {{m|Transform}}. From [[Generation V]] onwards, Ditto can also transform by using its [[signature Ability]] {{a|Imposter}}.

Some [[Pokédex entry|Pokédex entries]] state that Ditto transforms into a stone when sleeping in order to avoid being attacked.

===Pokémon Crystal===
{{game|Crystal}}'s [[game intro|intro]] starts with a {{p|Ditto}} transforming into the [[Game Freak]] logo.

===Pokémon Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum===
[[File:Ditto Clefairy.png|thumb|left|Game Corner "Clefairy"]]
In {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}, the [[Veilstone Game Corner]], during the Game Corner slot machine game, a {{p|Clefairy}} with a Ditto face will occasionally appear instead of a real Clefairy.

===Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon===
In {{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}}, the player can encounter a Ditto transformed into a human at the Police Station on {{rt|9|Alola}}. After battling it, the player is tasked with apprehending the remaining [[Alola Route 9#The Ditto Five|Ditto Five]], also transformed into humans, in [[Konikoni City]].

===Pokémon Scarlet and Violet===
In [[The Indigo Disk]], various [[Blueberry Quest|Ditto Blocks]] can be found as objectives in [[Blueberry Quest]]s throughout the [[Terarium]], where Ditto will seemingly transform into one of the many cubes with rounded edges that make up many of the structures of the Terarium.

==In the side series games==
In the [[Pokémon Stadium series]], {{pkmn|Colosseum}}, {{pkmn|XD: Gale of Darkness}}, and {{pkmn|Battle Revolution}}, which feature [[Pokemon battle]]s based on the core series games, {{p|Ditto}}'s only available [[move]] is {{m|Transform}}.

===Pokémon Stadium series===
In {{g|Stadium}} and {{pkmn|Stadium 2}}, a Ditto transforms into the countdown "3", "2", "1", "GO!" seen at the start of any [[Pokémon Stadium series mini-games|mini-game]].

===Pokémon HOME===
In [[Pokémon HOME]], several [[Medal (HOME)|medals]] feature transformed Ditto.

==In the spin-off games==
===Pokémon GO===
In [[Pokémon GO]], Ditto first became available on November 23, 2016. It appears disguised as other {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} in the {{pkmn2|wild}}. Players will only find out whether a Pokémon is a Ditto if successfully [[caught Pokémon|captured]], upon which a cutscene will show the Pokémon transforming back into Ditto.

===Pokémon Masters EX===
In [[Pokémon Masters EX]], the [[April Fools' Day 2022]] event "[[Find the Ditto impostors!]]" features several Trainer duplicates which are in fact Ditto transformed into humans.

===Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series===
In the [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series]], much like in the [[core series]] games, {{p|Ditto}}'s only available [[move]] is {{m|Transform}}.

====Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky====
In [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky]], the [[Special Episode]] "[[Here Comes Team Charm!]]" features a Ditto who transforms into {{p|Sentret}} and {{p|Bellossom}} while retaining its face. This Ditto is also able to transform into a [[Treasure Box]].

Additionally, in Tournament Mode, by holding '''L''', '''R''' and '''A''' together, the game will select a random character. That player's avatar will appear as Ditto until the match starts.

====Super Smash Bros. Ultimate====
In [[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]], the {{p|Ditto}} summoned from the Poké Ball transforms into a purple version of the fighter who used this item.

===Pokémon Pokopia===
In {{g|Pokopia}}, a {{poko|Ditto}} transforms into a [[human]] to create a place for humans and Pokémon. This Ditto can also transform into a {{p|Lapras}}, {{p|Graveler}}, {{p|Dragonite}}, and {{p|Magnemite}} to travel across water, roll across land, glide over the ground, and hover in the air, respectively.

When using other moves via the [[Transform (specialty)|Transform]] [[Specialty]] the body parts of Ditto transform, such as turning arms to vines for {{m|Leafage}} and gaining {{p|Squirtle}}'s shell for {{m|Water Gun}}.

Ditto can also transform into different items through the use of {{m|Camouflage}}.

===Eevee × Tamagotchi===
In [[Eevee × Tamagotchi]], an {{p|Eevee}} with minimal care and food becomes a {{p|Ditto}} transformed into Eevee.

===Pokémon Trozei series===
In [[Pokémon Trozei!]] and {{pkmn|Battle Trozei}}, the puzzle games usually involve forming combos of at least four Pokémon of the same species. Although Ditto is not seen transforming in-game, it works a "wild card", counting as any Pokémon for the purpose of forming combos.

In [[Pokémon Shuffle]], before Ditto was legitimately available, it was originally coded as a wild card like in the previous games. However, instead of being a wild card, Ditto was released in 2017 with the [[Skill (Shuffle)|Transform]] skill, which causes up to 3 Ditto to transform into another support Pokémon.

===Pokémon Zany Cards===
{{missing image||Add Ditto transformed into the hearts symbol}}

In [[Pokémon Zany Cards]], the [[Special Seven]] card game (a variant of {{wp|one-card}}) involves discarding the cards from the player's hand if they match the rank or suit of the latest card added to the discard pile.

Special Seven features four Ditto cards, one of each suit (the eight of spades, hearts, diamonds, and clubs). When a Ditto card is discarded, the player chooses the suit it will transform to using "Ditto's Transform". This also features a short animation where Ditto visually transforms into the suit symbol with the Ditto face.

In ''[[EP037|Ditto's Mysterious Mansion]]'', [[Duplica's Ditto]] transformed into [[Ash's Pikachu]], [[Ash's Bulbasaur]], a {{p|Voltorb}}, a {{p|Machoke}}, and Team Rocket's {{OBP|Meowth|Team Rocket}}, while still retaining its original face. At some point, [[Jessie]] showed Duplica's Ditto a picture of a young boy with blue hair and requested to see how he would look like as an adult, but Ditto transformed into a picture of the adult man while still retaining Ditto's original face. Jessie also wanted Ditto to transform into {{p|Dratini}}, but once she showed it a book with Dratini's picture, Ditto transformed into a book instead. At the end of this episode, Duplica's Ditto learned how to transform perfectly, including its face.

===Pokémon Adventures===
===={{MangaArc|Red, Green & Blue}}====
In ''[[PS016|Tauros the Tyrant]]'', {{adv|Green}}'s Ditto named [[Ditty]] was introduced. After both Ditty and [[Team Rocket Elite Trio|Ken]]'s {{p|Tauros}} fell off a cliff together, only Tauros came back from the cliff. However, it was soon revealed that the Tauros who came back was actually Ditty transformed into Tauros.

In ''[[PS017|The Jynx Jinx]]'', Ditty transformed into {{p|Mew}} in order to keep Ken and Team Rocket occupied.

In the events between ''[[PS069|Playing Horsea]]'' and ''[[PS084|Clefabulous Clefable]]'', at [[Cerise Island]], Ditty had been secretly transformed into Green's right arm while she was wearing a jacket over her dress. In the meantime, Green and [[Sabrina]] were seemingly bound together by Lorelei's ice handcuffs. Ultimately, Ditty was revealed after Green's arm appeared to be severed like the arm of the ice voodoo doll in her likeness. Ditty then attacked Lorelei and her Jynx by extending as a long snake-like blob and then formed a cocoon around them.

In ''[[PS276|My, My, My Mimic]]'', Ultima revealed that this Deoxys was actually a transformed Ditty, and it showed its Ditto face while still transformed into Deoxys. In a flashback, Ditty was also able to simultaneously transform into Green and Deoxys in order to inform Ultima about Deoxys's attack at the [[Seagallop]].

Ditto transformations

2026-07-04T19:21:37Z

Daniel Carrero: /* Pokémon Zany Cards */

[[File:Duplica Ditto Bulbasaur.png|thumb|250px|[[Duplica's Ditto]] transformed into [[Ash's Bulbasaur]]]]
There are several instances of '''{{p|Ditto}} {{m|Transform|transformations}}''' in Pokémon media.

In the [[core series]] games, a Pokémon that uses {{m|Transform}} accurately copies the appearance of the target. However, starting with [[Duplica's Ditto]] in the {{aniseries|OS}} episode ''[[EP037|Ditto's Mysterious Mansion]]'', several Ditto in various Pokémon media retain their original faces while transformed.

==Transformation types==
===Perfect copy===
Any Pokémon who uses {{m|Transform}} becomes a visually perfect copy of the target in several games, as the same sprites or renders used for the transformation target are also used for the transformed Pokémon.

This is the case in the [[core series]] (except for the color palettes in early generations), the [[side series]], the [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series]] (except in "[[Here Comes Team Charm!]]" from [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky|Explorers of Sky]]), [[Pokémon GO]], [[Pokémon Masters EX]], [[Pokémon Ranger: Guardian Signs]], {{aniseries|PTS}} (with some exceptions like [[Duplica's Ditto]]), the [[POKÉTOON]] short ''[[PT04|Wait for Me, Magikarp!]]'', [[Pokémon Adventures]], and [[Magical Pokémon Journey]]. In [[Ditto There]], most but not all Ditto transform perfectly.

===Retaining original colors===
In [[Pokémon Red and Blue Versions|Pokémon Red, Blue]], [[Pokémon Yellow Version|Yellow]], [[Pokémon Gold and Silver Versions|Gold, Silver]], and [[Pokémon Crystal Version|Crystal]], any Pokémon who uses {{m|Transform}} retains its original color palette after transformed into other Pokémon. Specifically, Ditto's palette is gray (Generation I), purple (Generation II, non-Shiny), or blue (Generation II, Shiny).

In [[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]], the Ditto from the Poké Ball item transforms into a purple version of any fighter.

In [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]], Ditto transforms into a purple version of [[Ash Ketchum]].

Ditto Celebi.png|Ditto transformed into a purple {{p|Celebi}} in [[Generation II]]
Ditto Celebi Shiny.png|Shiny Ditto transformed into a blue Celebi in Generation II
</gallery></center>

===Retaining original Shininess===
In [[Pokémon Stadium 2]], [[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire Versions|Ruby, Sapphire]], [[Pokémon Emerald Version|Emerald]], [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions|FireRed, LeafGreen]], {{pkmn|Colosseum}}, and {{pkmn|XD: Gale of Darkness}}, any Pokémon who uses Transform retains its own Shininess or lack thereof.

For instance, if a Shiny Ditto uses Transform on a regular (blue) {{p|Gyarados}}, Ditto will appear as a Shiny (red) Gyarados.

<center><gallery widths=240px heights=160px>
Ditto Shiny Gyarados FRLG.png|Shiny Ditto transformed into {{p|Gyarados}} in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}
Ditto Shiny Mewtwo FRLG.png|Shiny Ditto transformed into {{p|Mewtwo}} in Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen
</gallery></center>

===Dimmed colors===
In {{game5|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald|FireRed|LeafGreen}}, any Pokémon who uses Transform appears with slightly dimmed colors.

===Retaining original face===
In the {{aniseries|OS}} episode ''[[EP037|Ditto's Mysterious Mansion]]'', [[Duplica's Ditto]] retained its original face while transformed until it eventually learned how to transform its face as well. This was presented as an anomaly, but several other Ditto in various [[Pokémon]] media have also been since depicted with their original face while transformed.

Other examples include the Ditto transformations seen in [[Pokémon Snap]], the [[Special Episode]] "[[Here Comes Team Charm!]]" from [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky]], [[Eevee × Tamagotchi]], [[Pokémon Zany Cards]], the [[Ditto Collection]] merchandise, [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]] manga, [[Pokémon Newspaper Strip]], the [[Ditto There]] music video, several Ditto cards from the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]], and the player {{poko|Ditto}} in [[Pokémon Pokopia]].

===Retaining original size===
In the {{aniseries|OS}} episode ''[[EP174|Imitation Confrontation]]'', Duplica's second Ditto named Mini-Dit was unable to change its size, turning into small copies of large Pokémon.

===Half-way transformation===
In [[Pokémon Adventures]], {{adv|Green}}'s [[Ditty]] is often seen in the process of transforming or turning back into its original form.

In [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]], [[Duplica's Ditto]] appears partially transformed into {{p|Machop}}.

A {{TCG|XY Black Star Promos|XY Black Star Promo}} {{TCG ID|XY Promo|Ditto|40}} card depicts a Ditto half-transformed into {{p|Pikachu}}. In [[Pokémon 4Koma Plaza]] #39, several Ditto appear half-transformed as well, each with a Pikachu head on a Ditto body.

===Other transformations===
In the [[Ditto There]] music video, a Ditto transforms into Ditto with its face on its back, and another Ditto transforms into a Ditto with its body upside-down but not its face.

==In the core series games==
[[File:SV Ditto Block.png|thumb|250px|Ditto Block]]

In the [[core series]] games, Ditto's only available [[move]] is {{m|Transform}}. From [[Generation V]] onwards, Ditto can also transform by using its [[signature Ability]] {{a|Imposter}}.

Some [[Pokédex entry|Pokédex entries]] state that Ditto transforms into a stone when sleeping in order to avoid being attacked.

===Pokémon Crystal===
{{game|Crystal}}'s [[game intro|intro]] starts with a {{p|Ditto}} transforming into the [[Game Freak]] logo.

===Pokémon Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum===
[[File:Ditto Clefairy.png|thumb|left|Game Corner "Clefairy"]]
In {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}, the [[Veilstone Game Corner]], during the Game Corner slot machine game, a {{p|Clefairy}} with a Ditto face will occasionally appear instead of a real Clefairy.

===Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon===
In {{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}}, the player can encounter a Ditto transformed into a human at the Police Station on {{rt|9|Alola}}. After battling it, the player is tasked with apprehending the remaining [[Alola Route 9#The Ditto Five|Ditto Five]], also transformed into humans, in [[Konikoni City]].

===Pokémon Scarlet and Violet===
In [[The Indigo Disk]], various [[Blueberry Quest|Ditto Blocks]] can be found as objectives in [[Blueberry Quest]]s throughout the [[Terarium]], where Ditto will seemingly transform into one of the many cubes with rounded edges that make up many of the structures of the Terarium.

==In the side series games==
In the [[Pokémon Stadium series]], {{pkmn|Colosseum}}, {{pkmn|XD: Gale of Darkness}}, and {{pkmn|Battle Revolution}}, which feature [[Pokemon battle]]s based on the core series games, {{p|Ditto}}'s only available [[move]] is {{m|Transform}}.

===Pokémon Stadium series===
In {{g|Stadium}} and {{pkmn|Stadium 2}}, a Ditto transforms into the countdown "3", "2", "1", "GO!" seen at the start of any [[Pokémon Stadium series mini-games|mini-game]].

==In the spin-off games==
===Pokémon GO===
In [[Pokémon GO]], Ditto first became available on November 23, 2016. It appears disguised as other {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} in the {{pkmn2|wild}}. Players will only find out whether a Pokémon is a Ditto if successfully [[caught Pokémon|captured]], upon which a cutscene will show the Pokémon transforming back into Ditto.

===Pokémon Masters EX===
In [[Pokémon Masters EX]], the [[April Fools' Day 2022]] event "[[Find the Ditto impostors!]]" features several Trainer duplicates which are in fact Ditto transformed into humans.

===Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series===
In the [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series]], much like in the [[core series]] games, {{p|Ditto}}'s only available [[move]] is {{m|Transform}}.

====Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky====
In [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky]], the [[Special Episode]] "[[Here Comes Team Charm!]]" features a Ditto who transforms into {{p|Sentret}} and {{p|Bellossom}} while retaining its face. This Ditto is also able to transform into a [[Treasure Box]].

===Pokémon Snap===
In [[Pokémon Snap]], Ditto takes the form of {{p|Bulbasaur}} in the {{OBP|Cave|Snap}} stage.

===Super Smash Bros. series===
====Super Smash Bros. Melee====
In [[Super Smash Bros. Melee]], Ditto was an unused Poké Ball summon. The Nintendo Power strategy guide still mentions its existence, and would have transformed into the player that threw the Poké Ball.

Additionally, in Tournament Mode, by holding '''L''', '''R''' and '''A''' together, the game will select a random character. That player's avatar will appear as Ditto until the match starts.

====Super Smash Bros. Ultimate====
In [[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]], the {{p|Ditto}} summoned from the Poké Ball transforms into a purple version of the fighter who used this item.

===Pokémon Pokopia===
In {{g|Pokopia}}, a {{poko|Ditto}} transforms into a [[human]] to create a place for humans and Pokémon. This Ditto can also transform into a {{p|Lapras}}, {{p|Graveler}}, {{p|Dragonite}}, and {{p|Magnemite}} to travel across water, roll across land, glide over the ground, and hover in the air, respectively.

When using other moves via the [[Transform (specialty)|Transform]] [[Specialty]] the body parts of Ditto transform, such as turning arms to vines for {{m|Leafage}} and gaining {{p|Squirtle}}'s shell for {{m|Water Gun}}.

Ditto can also transform into different items through the use of {{m|Camouflage}}.

===Eevee × Tamagotchi===
In [[Eevee × Tamagotchi]], an {{p|Eevee}} with minimal care and food becomes a {{p|Ditto}} transformed into Eevee.

===Pokémon Trozei series===
In [[Pokémon Trozei!]] and {{pkmn|Battle Trozei}}, the puzzle games usually involve forming combos of at least four Pokémon of the same species. Although Ditto is not seen transforming in-game, it works a "wild card", counting as any Pokémon for the purpose of forming combos.

In [[Pokémon Shuffle]], before Ditto was legitimately available, it was originally coded as a wild card like in the previous games. However, instead of being a wild card, Ditto was released in 2017 with the [[Skill (Shuffle)|Transform]] skill, which causes up to 3 Ditto to transform into another support Pokémon.

===Pokémon Zany Cards===
{{missing image||Add Ditto transformed into the hearts symbol}}

In [[Pokémon Zany Cards]], the [[Special Seven]] card game (a variant of {{wp|one-card}}) involves discarding the cards from the player's hand if they match the rank or suit of the latest card added to the discard pile.

Special Seven features four Ditto cards, one of each suit (the eight of spades, hearts, diamonds, and clubs). When a Ditto card is discarded, the player chooses the suit it will transform to using "Ditto's Transform". This also features a short animation where Ditto visually transforms into the suit symbol with the Ditto face.

In ''[[EP037|Ditto's Mysterious Mansion]]'', [[Duplica's Ditto]] transformed into [[Ash's Pikachu]], [[Ash's Bulbasaur]], a {{p|Voltorb}}, a {{p|Machoke}}, and Team Rocket's {{OBP|Meowth|Team Rocket}}, while still retaining its original face. At some point, [[Jessie]] showed Duplica's Ditto a picture of a young boy with blue hair and requested to see how he would look like as an adult, but Ditto transformed into a picture of the adult man while still retaining Ditto's original face. Jessie also wanted Ditto to transform into {{p|Dratini}}, but once she showed it a book with Dratini's picture, Ditto transformed into a book instead. At the end of this episode, Duplica's Ditto learned how to transform perfectly, including its face.

In ''[[EP111|Hello Pummelo]]'', {{OBP|Drake|Orange League}}'s Ditto transformed into Ash's Pikachu.

==In the manga==
===Pokémon Adventures===
===={{MangaArc|Red, Green & Blue}}====
In ''[[PS016|Tauros the Tyrant]]'', {{adv|Green}}'s Ditto named [[Ditty]] was introduced. After both Ditty and [[Team Rocket Elite Trio|Ken]]'s {{p|Tauros}} fell off a cliff together, only Tauros came back from the cliff. However, it was soon revealed that the Tauros who came back was actually Ditty transformed into Tauros.

In ''[[PS017|The Jynx Jinx]]'', Ditty transformed into {{p|Mew}} in order to keep Ken and Team Rocket occupied.

In ''[[PS030|Zap! Zap! Zapdos!]]'', Ditty was disguised as [[Blasty]].

In the events between ''[[PS069|Playing Horsea]]'' and ''[[PS084|Clefabulous Clefable]]'', at [[Cerise Island]], Ditty had been secretly transformed into Green's right arm while she was wearing a jacket over her dress. In the meantime, Green and [[Sabrina]] were seemingly bound together by Lorelei's ice handcuffs. Ultimately, Ditty was revealed after Green's arm appeared to be severed like the arm of the ice voodoo doll in her likeness. Ditty then attacked Lorelei and her Jynx by extending as a long snake-like blob and then formed a cocoon around them.

In ''[[PS274|Double Dealing with Deoxys]]'', a Deoxys appeared to attack [[Ultima]], {{adv|Red}}, and {{adv|Blue}}. In ''[[PS276|My, My, My Mimic]]'', Ultima revealed that this Deoxys was actually a transformed Ditty, and it showed its Ditto face while still transformed into Deoxys. In a flashback, Ditty was also able to simultaneously transform into Green and Deoxys in order to inform Ultima about Deoxys's attack at the [[Seagallop]].

* The Pokémon GBA Video cartridges use the AGB-E01-40 printed circuit board.

Options

2026-07-03T23:55:42Z

Daniel Carrero:

The '''Options''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|設定|せってい}}''' ''options'') screen, displayed as '''Option''' prior to [[Generation IV]] and as '''Settings''' in {{g|Legends: Arceus}} and {{g|Legends: Z-A}}, is the interface for managing settings that the player can modify to change some behaviors of the game. The available settings differ throughout the various games.

It can be accessed by selecting the corresponding entry on the [[menu]]. From {{game|Red and Green|s}} to {{game|Emerald}}, it can also be accessed from the [[main menu]], but it is not possible to do this in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} and in any game from {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}} onwards.

In {{game|Platinum}}, descriptions of the options similar to those of [[item]]s and [[move]]s were added. They were absent in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} but were reinstated in {{game|Black and White|s}} and have remained in subsequent games.

==In the core series games==
Underlined options represent the default settings.

{| class="roundy" style="background:#ddf; border:3px solid #ccf"
! Games !! Setting !! Explanation !! Options !! Notes
|- style="background:#fff"
| All games
| Text Speed
| This setting controls the display speed of the text box.
| <ab>
Slow
Normal
Fast
</ab>
| "Normal" was called "Medium" prior to [[Generation VI]].
"Fast" is the default in {{g|Legends: Arceus}}.
|- style="background:#fff"
| {{gameabbrev1|RB}}-{{gameabbrev8|BDSP}}
| [[Battle effects|Battle Effects]]
| This setting controls the appearance of certain graphical elements during {{pkmn|battle}}s, such as [[move]] animations, [[status condition]]s, and [[weather]].
| <ab>
On
Off
</ab>
| Called Battle Scene from Generation II to IV, Animation in {{game|Yellow}}, and Battle Animation in {{game|Red and Blue|s}}.

In [[Generation I]], the battle effects are displayed during the {{pkmn|Champion}} battle against the {{ga|Blue|rival}} even if this feature is turned off.
|- style="background:#fff"
| {{gameabbrev1|RB}}-{{gameabbrev8|BDSP}}
| style="background:#fff; {{roundybl|5px}}" | Battle Style
| This setting controls whether or not the player is asked to [[recall]] their {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} whenever the opponent sends out their next Pokémon.
| <ab>
Switch
Set
</ab>
| style="background:#fff; {{roundybr|5px}}" | "Switch" was called "Shift" prior to [[Generation VI]].

Set is always used in a [[Double Battle|Double]], [[Triple Battle|Triple]], [[Multi Battle|Multi]], or [[Rotation Battle]], as well as in designated battle facilities (such as the {{OBP|Battle Frontier|Generation III}} or the [[Battle Tree]]) or multiplayer battles.

In [[Generation IV]], if the choice is Set and the player's Pokémon is knocked out against a [[wild Pokémon]], the player will be forced to send out their next Pokémon without being given the option to immediately [[escape]].

The player can switch Pokémon even if the player's Pokémon would normally be unable to switch out, such as by being locked into a multi-turn move like {{m|Petal Dance}}.

In {{g|Legends: Arceus}}, the Battle Style is locked to "Set". In {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}, the Battle Style is locked to "Shift".
|- style="background:#fff"
| {{gameabbrev1|Y}}-{{gameabbrev5|B2W2}}

''Yellow:''

</ab>
| This setting was removed starting in [[Generation VI]] due to the games now using the handheld's system settings.

Yellow's Earphone1 option is the equivalent to Stereo in later games. Earphone2 and Earphone3 instead focus the audio to the left and right earphones, respectively.
|- style="background:#fff"

Every game uses its respective "Type 1" frame as the default.

In {{2v2|Diamond|Pearl}} only, the game's name is shown inside the frame.

| In {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}, "Normal" restricts the player to only the A and B buttons, while LR allows using the L and R buttons to switch between certain screens, such as [[Bag]] pockets or [[Pokémon Storage System]] boxes. The L=A option maps the L button to the same functions as the A button.

In the Nintendo Switch version of {{g|FireRed and LeafGreen}} only, the L=A also maps the face button functions onto the D-Pad, while movement functions are mapped onto the right analogue stick, in addition to B now being mapped to ZL or ZR as well, allowing for one-handed control-style similar to using a single Joy-Con in {{g|Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!}}

In {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}, LR is replaced with START=X, wherein the player can use the START button instead of the X button to open the [[menu]]. START=X was removed in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, while the L and R buttons by default allow players to navigate the menu.

In the [[Generation VI]] games, "Normal" (now "Default") allows the L and R buttons to be used to switch between the [[Player Search System]], [[Pokémon-Amie]], and [[Super Training]] screens. L=A also returns and a new third option called "No LR Button" is added, which disables the L and R buttons entirely. The latter was removed in [[Generation VII]].

==Trivia==
* Data exists in the Japanese versions of the [[Generation V]] games for an additional option called ''Wireless'' (Japanese: '''{{tt|無線|むせん}}''') with the description "You can choose to turn constant wireless communication either ON or OFF." (Japanese: {{tt|常時|いつも}}　{{tt|無線|むせん}}で　{{tt|通信|つうしん}}するか　{{tt|ＯＮ|オン}}／{{tt|ＯＦＦ|オフ}}が　{{tt|選|えら}}べます); it was apparently removed in favor of the power button in the [[C-Gear]].
* In the English localization of {{g|Sword and Shield}} and {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}}, changing any setting and pressing B to exit displays the erroneous message "Would like to save these settings?". The correct message, "Would '''you''' like to save these settings?", is displayed when pressing A instead.

Daniel Carrero:

The '''Options''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|設定|せってい}}''' ''options'') screen, displayed as '''Option''' prior to [[Generation IV]] and as '''Settings''' in {{g|Legends: Arceus}} and {{g|Legends: Z-A}}, is the interface for managing settings that the player can modify to change some behaviors of the game. The available settings differ throughout the various games.

It can be accessed by selecting the corresponding entry on the [[menu]]. From {{game|Red and Green|s}} to {{game|Emerald}}, it can also be accessed from the [[main menu]], but it is not possible to do this in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} and in any game from {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}} onwards.

In {{game|Platinum}}, descriptions of the options similar to those of [[item]]s and [[move]]s were added. They were absent in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} but were reinstated in {{game|Black and White|s}} and have remained in subsequent games.

==In the core series games==
Underlined options represent the default settings.

{| class="roundy" style="background:#ddf; border:3px solid #ccf"
! Games !! Setting !! Explanation !! Options !! Notes
|- style="background:#fff"
| All games
| Text Speed
| This setting controls the display speed of the text box.
| <ab>
Slow
Normal
Fast
</ab>
| "Normal" was called "Medium" prior to [[Generation VI]].
"Fast" is the default in {{g|Legends: Arceus}}.
|- style="background:#fff"
| {{gameabbrev1|RB}}-{{gameabbrev8|BDSP}}
| [[Battle effects|Battle Effects]]
| This setting controls the appearance of certain graphical elements during {{pkmn|battle}}s, such as [[move]] animations, [[status condition]]s, and [[weather]].
| <ab>
On
Off
</ab>
| Called Battle Scene from Generation II to IV, Animation in {{game|Yellow}}, and Battle Animation in {{game|Red and Blue|s}}.

In [[Generation I]], the battle effects are displayed during the {{pkmn|Champion}} battle against the {{ga|Blue|rival}} even if this feature is turned off.
|- style="background:#fff"
| {{gameabbrev1|RB}}-{{gameabbrev8|BDSP}}
| style="background:#fff; {{roundybl|5px}}" | Battle Style
| This setting controls whether or not the player is asked to [[recall]] their {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} whenever the opponent sends out their next Pokémon.
| <ab>
Switch
Set
</ab>
| style="background:#fff; {{roundybr|5px}}" | "Switch" was called "Shift" prior to [[Generation VI]].

Set is always used in a [[Double Battle|Double]], [[Triple Battle|Triple]], [[Multi Battle|Multi]], or [[Rotation Battle]], as well as in designated battle facilities (such as the {{OBP|Battle Frontier|Generation III}} or the [[Battle Tree]]) or multiplayer battles.

In [[Generation IV]], if the choice is Set and the player's Pokémon is knocked out against a [[wild Pokémon]], the player will be forced to send out their next Pokémon without being given the option to immediately [[escape]].

The player can switch Pokémon even if the player's Pokémon would normally be unable to switch out, such as by being locked into a multi-turn move like {{m|Petal Dance}}.

In {{g|Legends: Arceus}}, the Battle Style is locked to "Set". In {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}, the Battle Style is locked to "Shift".
|- style="background:#fff"
| {{gameabbrev1|Y}}-{{gameabbrev5|B2W2}}
| Sound

Stereo

''Yellow:''
Mono
Earphone1
Earphone2
Earphone3
</ab>
| This setting was removed starting in [[Generation VI]] due to the games now using the handheld's system settings.

Yellow's Earphone1 option is the equivalent to Stereo in later games. Earphone2 and Earphone3 instead focus the audio to the left and right earphones, respectively.
|- style="background:#fff"
| {{gameabbrev1|Y}}{{gameabbrev2|GSC}}

| Frame
| This setting controls the appearance of the border around text boxes.
| Refer to the [[Options/Frames|gallery]] of frames.
| The option is named "Change Window" in {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}} and appears between Text Speed and Battle Effects.

Every game uses its respective "Type 1" frame as the default.

In {{2v2|Diamond|Pearl}} only, the game's name is shown inside the frame.
|- style="background:#fff"
| {{gameabbrev3|RS}}-{{gameabbrev7|USUM}} (except {{gameabbrev5|BWB2W2}})

L=A

''HGSS:''
Normal
L=A

''XY & ORAS:''
Default
L=A
No LR Button

''SMUSUM:''
Default
L=A
</ab>
| In {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}, "Normal" restricts the player to only the A and B buttons, while LR allows using the L and R buttons to switch between certain screens, such as [[Bag]] pockets or [[Pokémon Storage System]] boxes. The L=A option maps the L button to the same functions as the A button.

In the Nintendo Switch version of {{g|FireRed and LeafGreen}} only, the L=A also maps the face button functions onto the D-Pad, while movement functions are mapped onto the right analogue stick, in addition to B now being mapped to ZL or ZR as well, allowing for one-handed control-style similar to using a single Joy-Con in {{g|Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!}}

In {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}, LR is replaced with START=X, wherein the player can use the START button instead of the X button to open the [[menu]]. START=X was removed in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, while the L and R buttons by default allow players to navigate the menu.

In the [[Generation VI]] games, "Normal" (now "Default") allows the L and R buttons to be used to switch between the [[Player Search System]], [[Pokémon-Amie]], and [[Super Training]] screens. L=A also returns and a new third option called "No LR Button" is added, which disables the L and R buttons entirely. The latter was removed in [[Generation VII]].

The Right Stick can still be used and now toggles between the three options, but it will not sync with this setting. (For example, if the player changes this setting to Close and then presses the Right Stick twice to make the camera distance the equivalent of Far, then it will revert to Close if the player returns to the Options menu and saves their settings, or if the player closes and reopens the game.)

==Trivia==
* Data exists in the Japanese versions of the [[Generation V]] games for an additional option called ''Wireless'' (Japanese: '''{{tt|無線|むせん}}''') with the description "You can choose to turn constant wireless communication either ON or OFF." (Japanese: {{tt|常時|いつも}}　{{tt|無線|むせん}}で　{{tt|通信|つうしん}}するか　{{tt|ＯＮ|オン}}／{{tt|ＯＦＦ|オフ}}が　{{tt|選|えら}}べます); it was apparently removed in favor of the power button in the [[C-Gear]].
* In the English localization of {{g|Sword and Shield}} and {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}}, changing any setting and pressing B to exit displays the erroneous message "Would like to save these settings?". The correct message, "Would '''you''' like to save these settings?", is displayed when pressing A instead.

[[File:GBA Video controls.png|thumb|right|Playback controls]]

'''Game Boy Advance Video''' or '''GBA Video''' is a series of [[Game Boy Advance]] cartridges that contain cartoon episodes or movies that can be viewed on the [[Game Boy Advance]]. It includes the '''Pokémon GBA Video series''', a collection of four GBA Video cartridges, each containing two episodes of {{aniseries|PTS}}.

The cartridges were intentionally made incompatible with the [[Game Boy Player]] so that users could not record the shows to media such as blank VHS tapes or DVDs.<ref name="FAQ">''"Why don't the '''Game Boy Videos''' work in the Game Boy Player? Because the Game Boy Player can be attached to a VCR or DVD recorder, the ability was disabled to prevent illegal copying of Game Boy Video material. [...] Currently, up to 45 minutes of high quality video can be put on a '''Game Boy Video''' game pak.

'''Game Boy Advance Video''' or '''GBA Video''' is a series of [[Game Boy Advance]] cartridges that contain cartoon episodes or movies that can be viewed on the [[Game Boy Advance]]. It includes the '''Pokémon GBA Video series''', a collection of four GBA Video cartridges, each containing two episodes of {{aniseries|PTS}}.

The cartridges were intentionally made incompatible with the [[Game Boy Player]] so that users could not record the shows to media such as blank VHS tapes or DVDs.<ref name="FAQ">''"Why don't the '''Game Boy Videos''' work in the Game Boy Player? Because the Game Boy Player can be attached to a VCR or DVD recorder, the ability was disabled to prevent illegal copying of Game Boy Video material.

No Retreat (move)

'''No Retreat''' (Japanese: '''はいすいのじん''' ''Last Stand'') is a non-damaging {{type|Fighting}} [[move]] introduced in [[Generation VIII]]. It is the [[signature move]] of {{p|Falinks}}.

==Effect==
{{MoveResearch|If all the user's stats have already been raised 6 stages, will this move fail? (Or will the move prevent the user from escaping nonetheless?)}}
No Retreat raises the user's {{stat|Attack}}, {{stat|Defense}}, {{stat|Special Attack}}, {{stat|Special Defense}}, and {{stat|Speed}} by one stage each. It also [[Escape prevention|prevents]] the user from [[switching out]] or [[escape|fleeing]].

No Retreat fails if the user has been prevented from switching out or fleeing due to using No Retreat. However, if the user has already been given the "Can't Escape" status by another move such as {{m|Mean Look}}, No Retreat will successfully grant its stat boosts but will not create an additional status line to trap the user again. In this case, using No Retreat multiple times will create multiple boosts.

The user of No Retreat can still switch out after using the move if it is holding a [[Shed Shell]], if its [[Eject Button]] activates, if its opponent's [[Red Card]] activates, or if its opponent uses a move on it that forces the target to switch out, such as {{m|Whirlwind}} or {{m|Dragon Tail}}. If the user is {{type|Ghost}}, they are also free to switch, but the Pokémon will still receive a "Can't Escape" status on its status screen, which will prevent it from using No Retreat again.

===Generation VIII===
====Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl====
No Retreat cannot be selected in a battle.

The move can now only be used successfully once per switch-in. Subsequent uses will cause the move to fail.

Daniel Carrero: /* In the core series games */

{{Search|title screen menu|the overworld menu|Menu}}
[[File:Main menu Eevee.png|thumb|350px|The main menu of [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!|Pokémon: Let's Go, Eevee!]]]]
The '''main menu''' (Japanese: '''{{j|タイトルメニュー}}''' ''title menu'', also known as '''{{j|スタートメニュー}}''' ''start menu''<ref>Pokémon Crystal Version: Mobile Guide (ポケットモンスター　クリスタルバージョンモバイルのてびき), page 8 (Nintendo, 2001)</ref>) is the first menu available after booting a video game. It typically appears right after the title screen.

==In the core series games==
The main menu is available in the [[core series]] [[Pokémon games]] from [[Generation I]] to [[Generation VII]]. From [[Generation VIII]] onwards, the most recent [[save]] is automatically loaded after the title screen.

In {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s|Pokémon FireRed, LeafGreen}} and [[Generation IV]], the main menu is hidden when there is no [[save]]; the player must first create a save file in order to access the main menu.

{{Search|title screen menu|the overworld menu|Menu}}
[[File:Main menu Eevee.png|thumb|350px|The main menu of [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!|Pokémon: Let's Go, Eevee!]]]]
The '''main menu''' (Japanese: '''{{j|タイトルメニュー}}''' ''title menu'', also known as '''{{j|スタートメニュー}}''' ''start menu''<ref>Pokémon Crystal Version: Mobile Guide (ポケットモンスター　クリスタルバージョンモバイルのてびき), page 8 (Nintendo, 2001)</ref>) is the first menu available after booting a video game. It typically appears right after the title screen.

==In the core series games==
The main menu is available in the [[core series]] [[Pokémon games]] from [[Generation I]] to [[Generation VII]]. From [[Generation VIII]] onwards, the most recent [[save]] is automatically loaded after the title screen.

In {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s|Pokémon FireRed, LeafGreen}} and [[Generation IV]], the main menu is hidden when there is no [[save]]; the player must first create a save file in order to access the main menu.

Ditto transformations

Daniel Carrero: /* Retaining original colors */

[[File:Duplica Ditto Bulbasaur.png|thumb|250px|[[Duplica's Ditto]] transformed into [[Ash's Bulbasaur]]]]
There are several instances of '''{{p|Ditto}} {{m|Transform|transformations}}''' in Pokémon media.

In the [[core series]] games, a Pokémon that uses {{m|Transform}} accurately copies the appearance of the target. However, starting with [[Duplica's Ditto]] in the {{aniseries|OS}} episode ''[[EP037|Ditto's Mysterious Mansion]]'', several Ditto in various Pokémon media retain their original faces while transformed.

==Transformation types==
===Perfect copy===
Any Pokémon who uses {{m|Transform}} becomes a visually perfect copy of the target in several games, as the same sprites or renders used for the transformation target are also used for the transformed Pokémon.

This is the case in the [[core series]] (except for the color palettes in early generations), the [[side series]], the [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series]] (except in "[[Here Comes Team Charm!]]" from [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky|Explorers of Sky]]), [[Pokémon GO]], [[Pokémon Masters EX]], [[Pokémon Ranger: Guardian Signs]], {{aniseries|PTS}} (with some exceptions like [[Duplica's Ditto]]), the [[POKÉTOON]] short ''[[PT04|Wait for Me, Magikarp!]]'', [[Pokémon Adventures]], and [[Magical Pokémon Journey]]. In [[Ditto There]], most but not all Ditto transform perfectly.

===Retaining original colors===
In [[Pokémon Red and Blue Versions|Pokémon Red, Blue]], [[Pokémon Yellow Version|Yellow]], [[Pokémon Gold and Silver Versions|Gold, Silver]], and [[Pokémon Crystal Version|Crystal]], any Pokémon who uses {{m|Transform}} retains its original color palette after transformed into other Pokémon. Specifically, Ditto's palette is gray (Generation I), purple (Generation II, non-Shiny), or blue (Generation II, Shiny).

In [[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]], the Ditto from the Poké Ball item transforms into a purple version of any fighter.

In [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]], Ditto transforms into a purple version of [[Ash Ketchum]].

Ditto Celebi.png|Ditto transformed into a purple {{p|Celebi}} in [[Generation II]]
Ditto Celebi Shiny.png|Shiny Ditto transformed into a blue Celebi in Generation II
</gallery></center>

===Retaining original Shininess===
In [[Pokémon Stadium 2]], [[Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire Versions|Ruby, Sapphire]], [[Pokémon Emerald Version|Emerald]], [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions|FireRed, LeafGreen]], {{pkmn|Colosseum}}, and {{pkmn|XD: Gale of Darkness}}, any Pokémon who uses Transform retains its own Shininess or lack thereof.

For instance, if a Shiny Ditto uses Transform on a regular (blue) {{p|Gyarados}}, Ditto will appear as a Shiny (red) Gyarados.

<center><gallery widths=240px heights=160px>

Ditto Shiny Mewtwo FRLG.png|Shiny Ditto transformed into {{p|Mewtwo}} in Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen
</gallery></center>

===Dimmed colors===
In {{game5|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald|FireRed|LeafGreen}}, any Pokémon who uses Transform appears with slightly dimmed colors.

===Retaining original face===
In the {{aniseries|OS}} episode ''[[EP037|Ditto's Mysterious Mansion]]'', [[Duplica's Ditto]] retained its original face while transformed until it eventually learned how to transform its face as well. This was presented as an anomaly, but several other Ditto in various [[Pokémon]] media have also been since depicted with their original face while transformed.

Other examples include the Ditto transformations seen in [[Pokémon Snap]], the [[Special Episode]] "[[Here Comes Team Charm!]]" from [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky]], [[Eevee × Tamagotchi]], [[Pokémon Zany Cards]], the [[Ditto Collection]] merchandise, [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]] manga, [[Pokémon Newspaper Strip]], the [[Ditto There]] music video, several Ditto cards from the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]], and the player {{poko|Ditto}} in [[Pokémon Pokopia]].

===Retaining original size===
In the {{aniseries|OS}} episode ''[[EP174|Imitation Confrontation]]'', Duplica's second Ditto named Mini-Dit was unable to change its size, turning into small copies of large Pokémon.

===Half-way transformation===
In [[Pokémon Adventures]], {{adv|Green}}'s [[Ditty]] is often seen in the process of transforming or turning back into its original form.

In [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]], [[Duplica's Ditto]] appears partially transformed into {{p|Machop}}.

A {{TCG|XY Black Star Promos|XY Black Star Promo}} {{TCG ID|XY Promo|Ditto|40}} card depicts a Ditto half-transformed into {{p|Pikachu}}. In [[Pokémon 4Koma Plaza]] #39, several Ditto appear half-transformed as well, each with a Pikachu head on a Ditto body.

===Other transformations===
In the [[Ditto There]] music video, a Ditto transforms into Ditto with its face on its back, and another Ditto transforms into a Ditto with its body upside-down but not its face.

==In the core series games==
[[File:SV Ditto Block.png|thumb|250px|Ditto Block]]

In the [[core series]] games, Ditto's only available [[move]] is {{m|Transform}}. From [[Generation V]] onwards, Ditto can also transform by using its [[signature Ability]] {{a|Imposter}}.

Some [[Pokédex entry|Pokédex entries]] state that Ditto transforms into a stone when sleeping in order to avoid being attacked.

===Pokémon Crystal===
{{game|Crystal}}'s [[game intro|intro]] starts with a {{p|Ditto}} transforming into the [[Game Freak]] logo.

===Pokémon Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum===
[[File:Ditto Clefairy.png|thumb|left|Game Corner "Clefairy"]]
In {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}, the [[Veilstone Game Corner]], during the Game Corner slot machine game, a {{p|Clefairy}} with a Ditto face will occasionally appear instead of a real Clefairy.

===Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon===
In {{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}}, the player can encounter a Ditto transformed into a human at the Police Station on {{rt|9|Alola}}. After battling it, the player is tasked with apprehending the remaining [[Alola Route 9#The Ditto Five|Ditto Five]], also transformed into humans, in [[Konikoni City]].

===Pokémon Scarlet and Violet===
In [[The Indigo Disk]], various [[Blueberry Quest|Ditto Blocks]] can be found as objectives in [[Blueberry Quest]]s throughout the [[Terarium]], where Ditto will seemingly transform into one of the many cubes with rounded edges that make up many of the structures of the Terarium.

==In the side series games==
In the [[Pokémon Stadium series]], {{pkmn|Colosseum}}, {{pkmn|XD: Gale of Darkness}}, and {{pkmn|Battle Revolution}}, which feature [[Pokemon battle]]s based on the core series games, {{p|Ditto}}'s only available [[move]] is {{m|Transform}}.

===Pokémon Stadium series===
In {{g|Stadium}} and {{pkmn|Stadium 2}}, a Ditto transforms into the countdown "3", "2", "1", "GO!" seen at the start of any [[Pokémon Stadium series mini-games|mini-game]].

==In the spin-off games==
===Pokémon GO===
In [[Pokémon GO]], Ditto first became available on November 23, 2016. It appears disguised as other {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} in the {{pkmn2|wild}}. Players will only find out whether a Pokémon is a Ditto if successfully [[caught Pokémon|captured]], upon which a cutscene will show the Pokémon transforming back into Ditto.

===Pokémon Masters EX===
In [[Pokémon Masters EX]], the [[April Fools' Day 2022]] event "[[Find the Ditto impostors!]]" features several Trainer duplicates which are in fact Ditto transformed into humans.

===Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series===
In the [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series]], much like in the [[core series]] games, {{p|Ditto}}'s only available [[move]] is {{m|Transform}}.

====Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky====
In [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky]], the [[Special Episode]] "[[Here Comes Team Charm!]]" features a Ditto who transforms into {{p|Sentret}} and {{p|Bellossom}} while retaining its face. This Ditto is also able to transform into a [[Treasure Box]].

===Pokémon Ranger: Guardian Signs===
In [[Pokémon Ranger: Guardian Signs]], [[Kasa]]'s Ditto transforms into {{p|Suicune}}, {{p|Raikou}}, and {{p|Entei}}.

===Pokémon Snap===
In [[Pokémon Snap]], Ditto takes the form of {{p|Bulbasaur}} in the {{OBP|Cave|Snap}} stage.

===Super Smash Bros. series===
====Super Smash Bros. Melee====
In [[Super Smash Bros. Melee]], Ditto was an unused Poké Ball summon. The Nintendo Power strategy guide still mentions its existence, and would have transformed into the player that threw the Poké Ball.

Additionally, in Tournament Mode, by holding '''L''', '''R''' and '''A''' together, the game will select a random character. That player's avatar will appear as Ditto until the match starts.

====Super Smash Bros. Ultimate====
In [[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]], the {{p|Ditto}} summoned from the Poké Ball transforms into a purple version of the fighter who used this item.

===Pokémon Pokopia===
In {{g|Pokopia}}, a {{poko|Ditto}} transforms into a [[human]] to create a place for humans and Pokémon. This Ditto can also transform into a {{p|Lapras}}, {{p|Graveler}}, {{p|Dragonite}}, and {{p|Magnemite}} to travel across water, roll across land, glide over the ground, and hover in the air, respectively.

When using other moves via the [[Transform (specialty)|Transform]] [[Specialty]] the body parts of Ditto transform, such as turning arms to vines for {{m|Leafage}} and gaining {{p|Squirtle}}'s shell for {{m|Water Gun}}.

Ditto can also transform into different items through the use of {{m|Camouflage}}.

===Eevee × Tamagotchi===
In [[Eevee × Tamagotchi]], an {{p|Eevee}} with minimal care and food becomes a {{p|Ditto}} transformed into Eevee.

===Pokémon Trozei series===
In [[Pokémon Trozei!]] and {{pkmn|Battle Trozei}}, the puzzle games usually involve forming combos of at least four Pokémon of the same species. Although Ditto is not seen transforming in-game, it works a "wild card", counting as any Pokémon for the purpose of forming combos.

In [[Pokémon Shuffle]], before Ditto was legitimately available, it was originally coded as a wild card like in the previous games. However, instead of being a wild card, Ditto was released in 2017 with the [[Skill (Shuffle)|Transform]] skill, which causes up to 3 Ditto to transform into another support Pokémon.

===Pokémon Zany Cards===
{{missing image||Add Ditto transformed into the suit symbols: hearts, diamonds, and clubs}}
In [[Pokémon Zany Cards]], the [[Special Seven]] card game (a variant of {{wp|one-card}}) involves discarding the cards from the player's hand if they match the rank or suit of the latest card added to the discard pile.

Special Seven features four Ditto cards, one of each suit (the eight of spades, hearts, diamonds, and clubs). When a Ditto card is discarded, the player chooses the suit it will transform to using "Ditto's Transform". This also features a short animation where Ditto visually transforms into the suit symbol with the Ditto face.

===={{aniseries|OS}}====
In ''[[EP037|Ditto's Mysterious Mansion]]'', [[Duplica's Ditto]] transformed into [[Ash's Pikachu]], [[Ash's Bulbasaur]], a {{p|Voltorb}}, a {{p|Machoke}}, and Team Rocket's {{OBP|Meowth|Team Rocket}}, while still retaining its original face. At some point, [[Jessie]] showed Duplica's Ditto a picture of a young boy with blue hair and requested to see how he would look like as an adult, but Ditto transformed into a picture of the adult man while still retaining Ditto's original face. Jessie also wanted Ditto to transform into {{p|Dratini}}, but once she showed it a book with Dratini's picture, Ditto transformed into a book instead. At the end of this episode, Duplica's Ditto learned how to transform perfectly, including its face.

In ''[[EP111|Hello Pummelo]]'', {{OBP|Drake|Orange League}}'s Ditto transformed into Ash's Pikachu.

In the music video [[Ditto There]], a Ditto transformed into a rock. Later, a Ditto transformed into a flawless Pikachu and a second Ditto transformed into a Pikachu while retaining its face. In a battle between two Ditto, they repeatedly transformed into each other, retaining their original appearance except one of them transformed backwards and the other transformed upside-down. A Ditto transformed into {{p|Pidgey}}, and then it met a group consisting of a {{p|Mareep}}, a {{p|Clefairy}}, a {{p|Psyduck}}, and an {{p|Omanyte}} which were all revealed to be transformed Ditto.

==In the manga==
===Pokémon Adventures===
===={{MangaArc|Red, Green & Blue}}====
In ''[[PS016|Tauros the Tyrant]]'', {{adv|Green}}'s Ditto named [[Ditty]] was introduced. After both Ditty and [[Team Rocket Elite Trio|Ken]]'s {{p|Tauros}} fell off a cliff together, only Tauros came back from the cliff. However, it was soon revealed that the Tauros who came back was actually Ditty transformed into Tauros.

In ''[[PS017|The Jynx Jinx]]'', Ditty transformed into {{p|Mew}} in order to keep Ken and Team Rocket occupied.

In ''[[PS030|Zap! Zap! Zapdos!]]'', Ditty was disguised as [[Blasty]].

In ''[[PS032|A Little Kadabra'll Do It]]'', Green appeared disguised into Sabrina, wearing Ditto transformed into Sabrina's face. However, when the fake Sabrina met Red, [[Pika]] was not fooled by the disguise.

===={{MangaArc|Yellow}}====
In ''[[PS059|Hitmonlee, Baby! (One More Time)]]'', Green sneaked into [[Bill]]'s house at the [[Sea Cottage]] by using Ditty partially transformed as the house key.

In the events between ''[[PS069|Playing Horsea]]'' and ''[[PS084|Clefabulous Clefable]]'', at [[Cerise Island]], Ditty had been secretly transformed into Green's right arm while she was wearing a jacket over her dress. In the meantime, Green and [[Sabrina]] were seemingly bound together by Lorelei's ice handcuffs. Ultimately, Ditty was revealed after Green's arm appeared to be severed like the arm of the ice voodoo doll in her likeness. Ditty then attacked Lorelei and her Jynx by extending as a long snake-like blob and then formed a cocoon around them.

In ''[[PS272|Old Ultima Puts Them to the Test]]'', Ditty appeared a shapeless blob, thin enough to emerge from inside {{adv|Red}}'s closed backpack.

In ''[[PS274|Double Dealing with Deoxys]]'', a Deoxys appeared to attack [[Ultima]], {{adv|Red}}, and {{adv|Blue}}. In ''[[PS276|My, My, My Mimic]]'', Ultima revealed that this Deoxys was actually a transformed Ditty, and it showed its Ditto face while still transformed into Deoxys. In a flashback, Ditty was also able to simultaneously transform into Green and Deoxys in order to inform Ultima about Deoxys's attack at the [[Seagallop]].

===Pokémon Yahtzee Jr.===
Pokémon Yahtzee Jr. involves rolling dice and matching Pokémon of the same species. In [[Pokémon Yahtzee Jr. (1999)|the 1999 edition]], Ditto counts as any other species for Pokémon matching purposes. However, in [[Pokémon Yahtzee Jr. (2004)|the 2004 edition]], Ditto's role is replaced by Pikachu instead.

{{Search|title screen menu|the overworld menu|Menu}}
[[File:Main menu Eevee.png|thumb|350px|The main menu of [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!|Pokémon: Let's Go, Eevee!]]]]
The '''main menu''' (Japanese: '''{{j|タイトルメニュー}}''' ''title menu'', also known as '''{{j|スタートメニュー}}''' ''start menu''<ref>Pokémon Crystal Version: Mobile Guide (ポケットモンスター　クリスタルバージョンモバイルのてびき), page 8 (Nintendo, 2001)</ref>) is the first menu available after booting a video game. It typically appears right after the title screen.

==In the core series games==
The main menu is available in the [[core series]] [[Pokémon games]] from [[Generation I]] to [[Generation VII]]. From [[Generation VIII]] onwards, the most recent [[save]] is automatically loaded after the title screen.

In {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s|Pokémon FireRed, LeafGreen}} and [[Generation IV]], the main menu is hidden when there is no [[save]]; the player must first create a save file in order to access the main menu.

The '''main menu''' (Japanese: '''{{j|タイトルメニュー}}''' ''title menu'', also known as '''{{j|スタートメニュー}}''' ''start menu''<ref>Pokémon Crystal Version: Mobile Guide (ポケットモンスター　クリスタルバージョンモバイルのてびき), page 8 (Nintendo, 2001)</ref>) is the first menu available after booting a video game. It typically appears right after the title screen.

==In the core series games==
The main menu is available in the [[core series]] [[Pokémon games]] from [[Generation I]] to [[Generation VII]]. From [[Generation VIII]] onwards, the most recent [[save]] is automatically loaded after the title screen.

In {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s|Pokémon FireRed, LeafGreen}} and [[Generation IV]], the main menu is hidden when there is no [[save]]; the player must first create a save file in order to access the main menu.
