Darklight: /* Multiple-turn attacks? */

==S D==
We should have an article, or an explanation, about this "swirling dust". I mean, what are they (i don't have BW) ----[[User:Desukaan563|Desukaan563's userpage has a Value Formula to measure Pokémon worth]] ''([[User talk:Desukaan563|talk]])'' 06:59, 20 December 2010 (UTC)
:Sometimes, when you're walking in a route or cave, randomly a piece of grass will start shaking or a pile of dust will show up, and you'll hear a noise. If you go and enter it without going off-screen or encountering a Pokémon, you'll either encounter a Pokémon(usually Tabunne in grass and Doryuzu in caves) or in caves, sometimes you'll get an item. They're the only place to find the Jewels as far as I know, but you can get rare items like stones from them too. [[User:Bluesun|Bluesun]] 09:23, 20 December 2010 (UTC)
::I believe there is also dark spots on bridges. However, we do need a page about this. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 09:36, 20 December 2010 (UTC)
:::Maybe, we could put an explanation on the Wild Pokémon encounter section, or it could be an article under the special tiles template. ----[[User:Desukaan563|Desukaan563's userpage has a Value Formula to measure Pokémon worth]] ''([[User talk:Desukaan563|talk]])'' 03:57, 8 January 2011 (UTC)
::::I think it would deserve its own article. If it turns out to be far too limited in its scope, we can merge it afterwoods. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 12:49, 8 January 2011 (UTC)

==Player battles?==
Do jewels get used up if theyre used against another player or do they work like berries? and whatever the answer is it should be included on this page[[User:Ares5566|Ares5566]] 14:27, 28 February 2011 (UTC)

== Multiple-turn attacks? ==

If a Pokémon uses a move that continues for several turns, such as Outrage or Petal Dance, will the move receive the boost for every hit, or will it only apply to the first one? I'm assuming it applies to all of them since you only "used" the move once, but I'm not sure... [[User:Diachronos|Diachronos]] 14:53, 13 May 2011 (UTC)
:No, you technically "used" the move multiple times; you just only chose the move once. So I'm pretty sure only the first attack would be boosted. --[[User:AndyPKMN|AndyPKMN]] [[User talk:AndyPKMN|(talk)]] 17:27, 13 May 2011 (UTC)

Could someone please help me! What does it mean when it says "and the red fins it had as Ralts/Kirlia are now gone." Does it mean the red things? On there head? But, Gardevoir still has them! I'm confused.{{unsigned|Gardevoir}}
:I assume it means those on the head... Sure, Gardevoir's and Gallade's are on their chests now... but Ralts and Kirlia have them on their heads, which is the point. --'''[[User:TTEchidna|T]][[User talk:TTEchidna|T]][[wp:Echidna|Echidna]]''' 23:16, 24 May 2007 (UTC)

I still don't get why they call them "Fins". I don't think there fins. ~Gardevoir {{unsigned|Gardevoir}}

:More "fin-like" then "fins", to be exact. I think I was one who referred to them as Fins... if you can think of a more accurate word for it (maybe "fin-like ridges"?), then by all means, replace it. -- [[user:Jioruji Derako|'''J'''ioruji '''D'''erako.'''>''']] 02:41, 27 May 2007 (UTC)

Yes, theres a much better understanding of what it means now. --Gardevoir {{unsigned|Gardevoir}}

== Gardevoir's attacking pose ==

There's something I've noticed about Gardevoir in Pokémon Colosseum/XD/Battle Revolution for quite a while. Whenever Gardevoir attacks, it looks to me as if Gardevoir's holding its arms in a cross formation. It's as if Gardevoir summon power from God to strike their foes or something. Can I make a note of that in the Trivia section?--[[User:Pokencyclopedia|Pokencyclopedia]] 05:01, 26 September 2007 (UTC)
:Mmmmmh... I'm thinking... that's too fanony. '''[[User:TTEchidna|T]][[User talk:TTEchidna|T]][[wp:Echidna|Echidna]]''' 05:12, 26 September 2007 (UTC)
::It looks more like some sort of unusual dance move to me. That might actually make more sense, since nearly all of Kirlia's animations (even its KO'd animation!) look like dance movements (which makes it hard for me to understand why Miror. B never uses one....). [[User:Diachronos|Diachronos]] 18:02, 16 October 2008 (UTC)

== Gardevoir - Hypnosis ==

I noticed that my Gardevoir in Gen IV learned Hypnosis at 60, not 63 like the page says. Was that a typo? Or did I do something to learn moves faster..? ~Desu {{unsigned|DesuMaiWaifu}}
:Nope. It was apparently wrong. Fixing. '''[[User:TTEchidna|''TTE'']][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]]''' 06:46, 18 April 2008 (UTC)
::Cool, glad I could help. ~Desu {{unsigned|DesuMaiWaifu}}

== Gender ratio ==
This might be a silly question, but since I created a new account for this soul purpose, I'll ask it anyway: Given the fact that this Pokemon can only evolve from female Kirilia, shouldn't its gender ratio be 100% female? [[User:WellyDawn|WellyDawn]] 23:07, 4 October 2010 (UTC)
:Actually, male Kirlia can evolve into Gardevoir too. It's just that female Kirlia can only evolve into Gardevoir. —'''darklord[[User talk:The dark lord trombonator|trom]]''' 23:08, 4 October 2010 (UTC)
Even i am a fan of her(i always treat them as female),i know theyre 50/50 gender.See [[Snorunt]]'s evolutions,theyre just reversed. --[[User:Gillstar34|Gillstar34]] 09:38, 2 January 2011 (UTC)

==Generation V Event Move?==
I was looking at the moves Gardevoir can learn and noticed Hypnosis was in the Event Moves section for Gardevoir even though it learns it naturally. Aside from gaining the move 15 levels early, I don't understand why it is an event move in this case. ''[[User:Frozen Fennec|Frozen]] [[User talk:Frozen Fennec|Fennec]]'' 03:41, 17 August 2012 (UTC)

I'd say the new region "appears to have drawn inspiration from European landmarks, such as the Eiffel Tower in France." But even then, European landmarks is conjecture. Relatively safe conjecture, but still, minefield!! Only thing we can really say is that there's a tower in it that looks a bit French. How do you translate that into Bulbapese?

"Nintendo of America has revealed the names of the two Legendary Pokemon which will feature in the forthcoming Pokemon X and Pokemon Y for the Nintendo 3DS.

== Genetic Generation? ==

Even ignoring that it would be a reference to 3D axes if there were a Pokémon Z, the selling point of this generation is that it is the first generation to be 3D in every sense of the word. I think that's how people will remember this gen, so I thought we would be calling it the 3D generation, similar to how Generation III was called the Advance Generation. X and Y don't have special meaning in genetics outside of sex chromosomes. Even without a Pokémon Z I'd say it's more a reference to the mathematical variables that are used to establish two different things, than to genetics. Like how Black and White are used as metaphors for things that are opposite. That was actually my first reaction when I found out the names of the games, as "Pokémon X and Y" could be used as a term to refer to paired versions in general. Well, what I'm saying is that I would call it the 3D generation. Feel free to disagree, but it would be better than "Genetic Generation". [[User:TorchicBlaziken|TorchicBlaziken]] ([[User_talk:TorchicBlaziken|talk]]•[[Special:Contributions/TorchicBlaziken|edits]]) 15:48, 9 January 2013 (UTC)
:I agree to an extent - while it is possible it's to do with genetics, it's a bit of a stretch to call it Genetic Generation at such an early point in conception. Also, it does seem a bit less likely for it to be genetics (after all, if it truly were about sex chromosomes, it should be XX and XY, not X and Y. My first thoughts personally were co-ordinates, but that could be wrong, too). Either way, as a wiki, speculation shouldn't be added as fact, right? Thus, "Genetic Generation" should be moved until there is hard evidence that the X and Y do, in fact, represent sex genes.

Ghost (type)

2013-02-16T00:08:28Z

Darklight: /* Trivia */

{{Types}}
The '''Ghost type''' (Japanese: '''ゴーストタイプ''' ''Ghost type'') is one of the seventeen [[type]]s. Notable Pokémon Trainers that specialize in Ghost-type Pokémon are [[Agatha]] of the [[Kanto]] [[Elite Four]], [[Morty]] of [[Ecruteak City]], [[Phoebe]] of the [[Hoenn]] Elite Four, [[Fantina]] of [[Hearthome City]], and [[Shauntal]] of the [[Unova]] Elite Four. Prior to Generation IV, where moves are designated [[Physical move|physical]] or [[Special move|special]] based on the move itself rather than its type, all Ghost-type moves were physical.

==Statistical averages==

==Battle properties==
===Generation I===
{{typebattle

|weakto1=Ghost
|resist1=Bug
|resist2=Poison
|weaken1=Ghost
|unaffected1=Fighting

|weaken2=Psychic
|resisted1=Dark
|resisted2=Steel
|unaffected1=Fighting
|unaffected2=Normal
|noeffect1=Normal
}}

==Characteristics==
The Ghost type is the smallest [[type]] in the game, with few additions in each new Pokémon game. They are also unique in the fact that they have a type-specific attack: {{m|Curse}}, which, other than being the only {{type|???}} move before the type was removed in [[Generation V]], works differently for Ghost-type Pokémon than it does for other Pokémon.

===Offense===
Ghost-type Pokémon are used mainly to inflict status effects, like {{status|confusion}} or {{status|paralysis}}. Most Ghost-type moves cause some sort of effect or a [[status ailment]]. They are a good type to use in Pokémon battling, because of their possession of all-around good attacks, such as {{m|Shadow Claw}} and {{m|Shadow Ball}}. Also, there is no Pokémon that resists a combination of {{t|Fighting}}- and Ghost-type moves, as the only combination capable of this ([[Normal]]/Ghost) has never materialized.

===Defense===
The weaknesses of the Ghost type are covered by the resistances of the {{t|Dark}}-type, and vice-versa, so their combination, seen in the Pokémon {{p|Sableye}} and {{p|Spiritomb}}, has no weaknesses. However, this does not make for a perfect Pokémon. There is always the possibility for the immunities of the Ghost- and Dark types to be removed via certain moves, such as {{m|Foresight}}, {{m|Odor Sleuth}}, and {{m|Miracle Eye}}, creating a weakness, or neutrality in the case of the latter. The lack of weaknesses is also offset by the lack of any resistances beyond resisting Bug and Poison (uncommon types offensively) and the three immunities to Psychic, Fighting and Normal (which can be removed, as mentioned above).

===Contest properties===
When used in Contests, Ghost-type moves typically become [[Smart Contest|Smart]] moves, but some may be [[Cute Contest|Cute]] or [[Tough Contest|Tough]] moves.

==Pokémon==
As of Generation V, there are 27 Ghost-type Pokémon or 4.16% of all Pokémon, making it the least common of the seventeen types.

==Trivia==
* There are no pure Ghost-type species in [[Generation I]].
* In Generation I, Ghost-type moves have no effect on Psychic-type Pokémon, though an abundance of evidence suggests that this may have been an error. Multiple sources mention that Ghost-type moves are super effective on Psychic-type Pokémon: official strategy guides published by Nintendo, two episodes of the {{pkmn|anime}} ([[EP023|''The Tower of Terror'']] and [[EP024|''Haunter versus Kadabra'']]), and even the games themselves, where a Trainer in the [[Saffron Gym]] mentions that Psychic-type Pokémon "only fear {{t|Bug}}s and Ghosts" (though the reference to Ghost-type Pokémon was removed in Yellow). This was changed in [[Generation II]] to make Ghost moves actually be super effective against Psychic Pokémon.
* There are no Ghost-type moves that have an {{stat|accuracy}} lower than 100%.
* While the Ghost type has an immunity to Normal-type moves, several damaging moves that display as Normal can affect them, including {{m|Hidden Power}} and {{m|Struggle}}.
* There are no pure Ghost-type Pokémon that evolve into a dual-type Pokémon.
* The only Ghost-type move with more than 80 base power is {{m|Shadow Force}}, exclusive to {{p|Giratina}}.
** {{m|Hex}}, however, will have a base power of 100 if the target is inflicted with a status ailment.
* The Ghost type is the only type that, when paired, can have a double weakness to itself, through the hypothetical Ghost/{{t|Psychic}} pairing. {{t|Dragon}}, the other type that shares this characteristic, is super effective against only itself.
* Generation V introduced the most Ghost-type Pokémon of any generation, with nine and Generation II introduced the fewest Ghost-type Pokémon, with only {{p|Misdreavus|one}}. Coincidentally, Generation II introduced the most Ghost-type moves of any generation, with five and Generation V introduced the fewest Ghost-type moves, with only {{m|Hex|one}}.
* The Ghost type is the only type immune to two types.
* In {{g|Mystery Dungeon}}, most Ghost-type Pokémon can naturally move through walls. While on a wall tile, they cannot be attacked but can attack their foes, and their {{DL|Stats|Belly}} empties at a rate of 5 per turn.

Sol, the reason why I put dragon there is because both spellings of mogura in kanji use the kanji for earth and one of two kanji for dragon.

::I have to agree with you. For all we know by now, it should be something like:
''Moguryū'' is likely a combination of 土竜 ''mogura'', mole, and 竜 ''ryū'', dragon, the reading of the second kanji on ''mogura'' when by itself.

==Physiology==
Perhaps somthing should be mentiond about Moguryuu's more promanant features, like the length of its snout and how the claws are shaped like spades for digging. All I'm saying is that there is more to this Pokémon than its colouration. [[User:EpicShadow|EpicShadow]] 03:01, 11 August 2010 (UTC)

Priority

2010-12-08T12:58:15Z

Darklight: ExtremeSpeed and Aqua Jet no longer have the same priority so the example is incorrect.

'''Priority''' refers to the order in which Trainers' commands are followed during a battle. Under normal circumstances, the priority of a [[move]] used in a {{pkmn|battle}} is determined by the {{Stat|Speed}} statistic of the Pokémon using the move. However, a move may have a different priority value, which can cause that move to always go before or after ordinary moves. Using [[items]] and [[recall|switching Pokémon]] will almost always precede a Pokémon's move.

Each move has a hidden priority value in the game data, ranging from <tt>+7</tt> to <tt>-7</tt>. Most moves are ordinary, and have <tt>0</tt> priority. Moves that always go before ordinary priority moves have ''increased'' priority and priority values greater than zero. Examples include moves such as {{m|Quick Attack}} and {{m|ExtremeSpeed}}. Moves that always go after ordinary priority moves have ''decreased'' priority and priority values less than zero. Examples of decreased priority moves are {{m|Counter}} and {{m|Roar}}. Moves with effects that last an entire turn, such as {{m|Protect}} or {{m|Magic Coat}}, have much higher priority to ensure that the move is used at the start of the turn.

Moves that have the same priority are said to be in the same ''priority bracket''. When two moves of equal priority, such as when both {{m|Aqua Jet}} and {{m|Bullet Punch}}, are used in the same turn, the Pokémon with the higher Speed will act first.

Move priority is not changed by the effects of {{m|Trick Room}}, which only reverses the order of moves ''within a priority bracket''. Increased priority moves still go first, and decreased priority moves still go last.

When a Pokémon uses a move, some held items and abilities cause it to go last within its priority bracket, ignoring even Trick Room. The items [[Incense#Full Incense|Full Incense]] and [[Lagging Tail]] and the ability {{a|Stall}} have this effect, but do not change the priority of any moves.

==Trivia==
* Since {{m|Focus Punch}} has a higher priority than {{m|Avalanche}}, {{m|Revenge}}, {{m|Dragon Tail}} or {{m|Overhead Throw}} they are unable to break the focus of a Pokémon using Focus Punch. Thus, they are the only four attacks that can strike a Pokémon in the same turn it successfully uses Focus Punch.
* Until [[Generation IV]], there were no moves that had a priority of +2, -4, or -7, and there still has yet to be a move with a priority of -2.

Levitate renders the user immune to {{type2|Ground}} moves, {{m|Spikes}}, {{m|Toxic Spikes}} and {{a|Arena Trap}}.

===Outside of battle===
Levitate has no effect outside of battle.

==In the anime==
[[Image:Gengar Levitate.png|thumb|200px|{{TP|Fantina|Gengar}} floating]]
'''{{p|Lunatone}}'''. Lunatone is unaffected by {{type2|Ground}} moves.
* Activated by [[Tate and Liza|Liza]]'s {{p|Lunatone}} in ''[[AG099|It's Still Rocket Roll to Me!]]''. '''Debut.'''
'''{{p|Gengar}}'''. Gengar floats in the air around the battlefield.
* Activated by [[Fantina]]'s {{p|Gengar}} in ''[[DP102|Shield with a Twist!]]''.

==Trivia==

**{{p|Shedinja}} also cannot have this ability, however, its {{a|Wonder Guard}} ability gives it immunity to Ground-type moves.
* Despite the fact that its [[Generation IV]] description says that it gives full immunity to all {{type2|Ground}} moves, Pokémon with Levitate are affected by {{m|Sand-Attack}}.
* Even if a levitating Pokémon uses {{m|Dig}}, Levitate still makes {{m|Earthquake}} and {{m|Magnitude}} miss.
* {{p|Giratina}} is the only Pokémon with Levitate as its sole ability that possesses a hidden ability besides Levitate.

The downside to the supposed power that they have is that they are slightly harder to raise, with many of them not evolving from their first stage to their second until a [[level]] at which many Pokémon are near their final evolutions, and their final evolution near level 50, such as a Dragonite or a Garchomp and {{p|Sazandra}} evolving at level 64, the highest of any Pokémon. Most Dragon-type [[Pokémon]] have high [[Stats#Attack|Attack]] and [[Stats#Special Attack|Special Attack]], and paired with their incredibly diverse movepools, they are one of the best in the games.

The Dragon type is good offensively. Even though only Dragons themselves are Dragon-weak, the only type that resists Dragon is Steel, giving them good use of their STAB. Dragon/Fire, a common attacking combination among Dragons, is resisted together only by {{p|Heatran}}. {{m|Dragon Dance}} is also a very common move for physical sweepers.

Defensively, they have key resistances to Electric, Grass, Water and Fire, enabling them to block certain Pokémon. However, every fully-[[Evolution|evolved]], non-{{pkmn2|legendary}} Dragon-type except {{p|Kingdra}}, {{p|Ononokus}}, and {{p|Sazandra}} have a double weakness to {{type2|Ice}} moves, due to their secondary [[Elemental type|types]].

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

In total, there are 29 Pokémon of the currently known 649 with the Dragon type, which accounts for a small amount of the Pokédex, tying it with the {{type2|Ice}} for the second least populated type, second only to the {{type2|Ghost}}.

==Trivia==
* In [[Generation I]], there was only one Dragon-type attack, {{m|Dragon Rage}}; however, because it always deals 40 HP of damage, there was no way to do super-effective Dragon-type damage.
** Also, {{p|Dratini}}'s family were the only Dragon-type [[Pokémon]] in [[Generation I]].
* There are only thirteen Dragon-type moves, the fewest of any type.
** Seven of these moves (more than half) have the word "dragon" in their names.
** Eight of those thirteen moves are [[Cool Contest|Cool moves]] in [[Pokémon Contest]]s and [[Pokémon Super Contest]]s. The only five that aren't were introduced in Generation {{gen|IV}} and {{gen|V}}, meaning that in Hoenn Contests, all Dragon-type moves were Cool moves.
** The Dragon type also has the fewest number of non-damaging moves out of all of the types, with only one, {{m|Dragon Dance}}.
* The Dragon type resists moves of the primary types of all [[main series]] [[starter Pokémon]] available for {{player}}s, including {{p|Pikachu}}.
* The Dragon type is one of the two types that is weak to itself; the other is the {{t|Ghost}} type.
* The Dragon type is one of two types that have both never have been and will never be doubly [[Damage modification|super effective]] against any Pokémon, as it is only super effective against one type. It shares this trait with the {{t|Normal}} type, which isn't super effective against anything.
** By the same manner, the Dragon type is also the only type that will never be doubly resisted by anything, as only {{t|Steel}} resists it.
* The Dragon type is statistically the best type, as its average fully evolved stat never goes below base 95.
* The only non-legendary Dragon-type Pokémon that doesn't sport a weakness to {{t|Ice}} is Kingdra.
* Dragon-type Pokémon are unique because they can all learn {{m|Draco Meteor}} by [[move tutor]], and are the only Pokémon that can learn it at all (excluding {{p|Jirachi}}, {{p|Smeargle}} and {{p|Arceus}} without the [[Draco Plate]]).
* Generation V has the most Dragon-type Pokémon that are not considered to be pseudo-legendary nor true legendary.
* Kingdra is the only Dragon-type introduced in Generation II.
* In Generations prior to Generation IV, only one [[TM]] contained a Dragon-type move each Generation. They were {{TM|23|Dragon Rage}}, {{TM|24|DragonBreath}}, and {{TM|02|Dragon Claw}}.

Notable Pokémon Trainers that specialize in Ghost-type Pokémon are [[Agatha]] of the [[Kanto]] [[Elite Four]], [[Morty]] of [[Ecruteak City]], [[Phoebe]] of the [[Hoenn]] Elite Four, [[Fantina]] of [[Hearthome City]], and [[Shikimi]] of the [[Isshu]] Elite Four.

==Characteristics==
The Ghost type is the smallest [[elemental types|elemental type]] in the game, with few additions in each new Pokémon game. They are also unique in the fact that they have a type-specific attack: {{m|Curse}}, which, other than being the only {{type2|???}} move{{tt|*|Changed to Ghost in Generation V}}, works differently for Ghost-types than it does for other Pokémon.

Ghost Pokémon are used mainly to inflict status effects, like confusion or paralysis. Most Ghost-type moves cause some sort of effect or a [[status ailment]]. They are a good type to use in Pokémon battling, because of their possession of all-around good attacks, such as {{m|Hypnosis}} and {{m|Shadow Ball}}. Also the combination of {{t|Fighting}} and Ghost is unresisted by all possible type combinations, although a Normal/Ghost type combination would be immune to both.

It is interesting to note that the weaknesses of the Ghost type are covered by the resistances of the {{t|Dark}} type, and vice-versa, so their combination, seen in the Pokémon {{p|Sableye}} and {{p|Spiritomb}}, has no weaknesses at all. What is to be remembered is that this does not make for a perfect Pokémon. There is always the possibility for the immunities of the Ghost- and Dark-types to be removed via certain moves, such as {{m|Foresight}} and {{m|Odor Sleuth}}, creating a weakness.

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

In total, there are 27 Pokémon out of the 649 currently known with the Ghost type, and so it accounts for a small amount of the entire Pokédex, making it the rarest of all types to be had by a Pokémon.

==Trivia==
* Pure Ghost-type species were not introduced until [[Generation II]].
* In Generation I, Ghost-type moves had no effect on Psychic-type Pokémon. An abundance of evidence suggests that this may have been a programming error, rather than intentional: the immunity is contradicted by official type charts published by Nintendo for their Generation I strategy guides, as well as the {{pkmn|anime}} in which it was said that Ghost-type Pokémon are the best type to use against Psychic-type Pokémon.
** In Red and Blue, a Trainer in the [[Saffron Gym]] even states that Psychic-type Pokémon "only fear {{t|Bug}}s and Ghosts", but this was corrected to remove the reference to Ghost-type Pokémon in Yellow. It is the only elemental type to go from 0× effectiveness to 2× effectiveness between generations.
* There are no Ghost-type moves that have an {{stat|accuracy}} lower than 100%, as all of them have a 100% accuracy or never miss.
* Ghost-type Pokémon are the only {{cat|single-type Pokémon}} that can have more than one immunity.
* The Ghost type is one of the two types that are weak to their own moves, together with the Dragon-type.
* Although they are clearly depicted as levitating in the anime and in the games, the Ghost-types Shedinja, Shuppet, Spiritomb, Dusknoir, and Froslass do not have the ability {{a|Levitate}} and thus remain susceptible to {{type2|Ground}} moves (although Shedinja's {{a|Wonder Guard}} would protect it from Ground-type moves).
* Disregarding abilities, Drifloon, Drifblim, Sableye and Spiritomb are the only Pokémon so far to be immune to three types (Drifloon and Drifblim are immune to Normal, Fighting and Ground, whereas Sableye and Spiritomb are immune to Normal, Fighting and Psychic).
** However, due to its ability, {{p|Shedinja}} has 12 immunities—the most of any Pokémon.
* So far, the only Ghost-type move with a base power greater than 80 is {{m|Shadow Force}}, which is [[signature move|exclusive]] to {{p|Giratina}}; however, certain event {{p|Arceus}} may know this move.
* There has yet to be a Pokémon with a double weakness to Ghost, though multiple types are weak to it.
* As of Generation II, the Ghost type (along with {{t|Normal}}) are one of only two pairs of different types to share the same interaction against each other (Normal is immune to Ghost and vice versa), not including matchups of regular effectiveness. The other pair is {{t|Bug}} and {{t|Fighting}} (Bug resists Fighting and vice versa).
* There has been one [[Gym Leader]] or [[Elite Four]] member in each generation specializing in Ghost-types.
** Interestingly, it has swapped each generation: odd numbered generations feature Elite Four members ([[Agatha]], [[Phoebe]], and [[Shikimi]]) while even numbered generations feature Gym Leaders ([[Morty]] and [[Fantina]]).
* Also, Morty is currently the only male Trainer to specialize in the Ghost type.
* While the Ghost-type has an immunity to Normal-type moves, several damaging moves that display as Normal can affect them, most notably {{m|Struggle}}.
* As of Generation V, pure Ghost-type Pokémon stay pure Ghost-type Pokémon after evolution, as so far no pure Ghost-type Pokémon evolves into a dual-type Pokémon.

==Characteristics==
Defensively speaking, against most types, the Grass type are risky to use. {{type2|Ice}} moves (and to a lesser extent {{type2|Fire}} moves) are commonly carried by special attackers. It is also weak to {{type2|Flying}} and {{type2|Bug}} moves. Given all of this, along with their exposure to a majority of the types (five, tied with Rock-types), Grass-types are difficult to switch into play. Most of their resistances are of little use. For example, {{type2|Water}}s are able to use Ice Beam, which can cripple Grass-types. They are resistant to Ground but many of them are half Poison-type, which would neutralize their resistance to the powerful and popular {{m|Earthquake}}. Almost every Electric-type can now learn {{m|Signal Beam}}.

In spite of their defensive flaws, it is typical for Grass-types to learn {{m|Leech Seed}}, and {{m|Synthesis}}, among other disabling moves. This enables these Pokémon to provide support to the rest of their team, and can make them difficult to faint. In addition, a particular asset of this type is being the only one immune to Leech Seed. However, it can be affected by Leech Seed if the previous Pokémon was seeded and has {{m|Baton Pass}}ed into a Grass-type Pokémon. Also, resistances to Water, {{t|Electric}} and even {{type2|Ground}} help the Grass type to block common moves.

Offensively, Grass-types have problems. The main problem Grass-type moves face is that nearly all of the few Pokémon they are advantageous against are also weak to moves of other types, hence making them seem dwarfed by the other moves. Other problems are that {{t|Grass|too}} {{t|Bug|many}} {{t|Fire|Pokémon }} {{t|Steel|types}} {{t|Flying|resist}} {{t|Dragon|these}} {{t|Poison|moves}} to rely on them as a main form of dealing damage, and most of them aren't very powerful. Even then, most of the powerful moves have drawbacks, which can cause more trouble. For example, {{m|Leaf Storm}} sharply lowers Special Attack, {{m|Wood Hammer}} causes recoil damage, and {{m|Frenzy Plant}} requires a turn to recharge after being used. Making matters worse, the majority of Grass-types have very narrow movesets, often where the only damage-dealing level up moves are Grass-type and {{type2|Normal}} moves. (As seen in Pokémon such as Meganium, Cherrim and Sunflora). Another problem is that double resistances to Grass are extremely common, even more so than double weaknesses. (To compare, 21 Pokémon are doubly weak to Grass, while 66 Pokémon doubly resist it.)

Grass-type Pokémon seem to be affected by [[weather conditions]] more than most other Pokémon, due to their closeness with plants and nature. Most power up under {{m|Sunny Day|intense sunlight}}, while a few others work best under other conditions. Pokémon such as {{p|Ludicolo}} in {{m|Rain Dance|heavy rain}}, {{p|Cacturne}} in {{m|sandstorm}}s or {{p|Abomasnow}} in {{m|hail}}storms are such Grass-types.

When used in contests, Grass-type moves typically become [[Smart Contest|Smart]] moves, but can also be any of the other four Contest types.

In total, there are 75/649 Pokémon with the Grass type.

==Trivia==
* The Grass type is tied with the {{type2|Rock}} for the largest number of weaknesses when unpaired, with five: {{t|Bug}}, {{t|Flying}}, {{t|Ice}}, {{t|Fire}} and {{t|Poison}}. Coincidentally, Rock is super effective against all of Grass's weaknesses except for Poison.
* Although about a third of the Grass-type Pokémon were introduced in [[Generation I]], only {{p|Tangela|one}} is a pure Grass-type.
* The Grass type has been paired with every type that it is super effective against.
* All Pokémon that have seven weaknesses are partially of the Grass type.
* There is at least one Pokémon with each type combination that has a double weakness to Grass. For example, {{p|Omanyte}} is {{2t|Water|Rock}}, {{p|Whiscash}} is {{2t|Water|Ground}}, and {{2t|Rock|Ground}} types are the most plentiful.
** This trait is also shared with {{t|Water}}, {{t|Flying}} and {{t|Psychic}}.
* Grass is the only starter type that doesn't have its own variation of {{m|Eruption}}. Fire has Eruption, while Water has {{m|Water Spout}}.

'''Lucario''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ルカリオ''' ''Lucario'') is a dual-type {{2t|Fighting|Steel}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Riolu}} via {{DL|Happiness|Evolutions|happiness}} during the [[Time|day]].

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Lucario is a bipedal, jackal-like Pokémon that's around four feet in height. Lucario's forepaws are black and have one white spike on each arm on the upper-side of its wrists. In addition, there's a third spike on Lucario's chest. Lucario's snout and ears have also grown longer since its evolution from {{p|Riolu}}. Lucario also has a furry yellow torso, and its thighs are in the shape of what looks like blue shorts. Also, Lucario stands on the balls of its feet, rather than on its entire foot.
====Gender differences====
None.

====Special abilities====
Lucario are sensitive to a special type of energy called [[Aura]]. Lucario can study these waves to predict the movements of their opponents, and use them to track anyone. They can also guide the waves offensively to create explosive balls of Aura energy (such as {{m|Aura Sphere}}, one of only two non-legendaries to learn that move). Lucario are also able to understand human speech; some people say that Lucario can also speak it, though only {{an|Lucario|one}} has reportedly done so, and through telepathy.

===Behavior===
Lucario are considered to be prideful creatures, and are extremely loyal to their trainers. Lucario also seem to have a natural sense of justice.

===Habitat===
Lucario usually live deep in mountains very far from people to improve their skills. Therefore, like {{p|Milotic}} and {{p|Togekiss}}, they are some of the rarest non-legendary Pokémon known, and finding a wild Lucario is excruciatingly difficult.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

The Lucario in ''[[M08|Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]'' was shown eating berries and was introduced to chocolate by [[Max]].

==In the anime==
{{spoiler}}
===Major appearances===
====[[Sir Aaron]]'s {{mov|Lucario|Lucario|8}}====
[[File:LucarioMovie8.png|right|thumb|220px|{{mov|Lucario|Lucario|8}}]]
Over 1,000 years ago, {{mov|Lucario|Lucario|8}} served [[Sir Aaron]]. Lucario was sensitive to aura, invisible vibrations that all objects, especially living things, release. This enabled him to "see" objects and living creatures and predict the actions of others even with their eyes closed.

When [[Cameran Palace]] was about to be caught in the middle of a war, Aaron was on his way to the [[Tree of Beginning]] to attempt to stop the battle when he came across Lucario, who had been temporarily blinded by a group of sand-kicking {{p|Houndoom}}, where Aaron told him that he was never going back to the castle. Aaron intended to sacrifice himself to stop the war, but Lucario jumped to the conclusion that he was abandoning the kingdom, which caused Aaron to throw his staff, sealing Lucario within.

Years later, in the present time, Lucario was awoken from the staff when it was held by [[Ash Ketchum]], who has a similar aura pattern to Aaron. Lucario initially mistook Ash for Aaron, and was stubborn and distrustful of humans after being sealed in the staff. Unaware of Aaron's sacrifice, Lucario held a grudge toward Aaron, thinking Aaron had abandoned the castle and him.

====[[Maylene]]'s {{TP|Maylene|Lucario}}====
It was first seen in ''[[DP066|Lost Leader Strategy!]]'' {{pkmn|battle|battling}} with Maylene in their {{pkmn|training}}. Lucario used {{m|Aura Sphere}} to stop the battle of {{TP|Paul|Electabuzz}}, {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}} and {{AP|Pikachu}}. It is also seen battling [[Paul]]'s Pokémon in a flashback.

Lucario was seen again in ''[[DP067|Crossing the Battle Line!]]'' where it battled in {{an|Dawn}}'s gym battle against Maylene. It defeated Dawn's {{TP|Dawn|Ambipom}} and {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}}.

It appeared once more in ''[[DP068|A Triple Fighting Chance!]]'' where it battled in {{Ash}}'s gym battle against Maylene. It defeated {{AP|Ash's Staravia|Staraptor}} and {{AP|Chimchar|Monferno}}, but was knocked out along with [[Ash's Buizel]], resulting in a tie.

Lucario was last seen in ''[[DP069|Enter Galactic!]]'' when it helped Ash and the others defeat [[Saturn]] and [[Team Galactic]].

====[[Riley]]'s {{TP|Riley|Lucario}}====
[[File:Riley's Lucario.png|thumb|right|[[Riley]]'s {{TP|Riley|Lucario}}]]
This Lucario debuted in ''[[DP110|Steeling Peace of Mind!]]'' at [[Iron Island]]. When {{Ash}} and {{ashfr|his friends}} traveled there after being contacted by {{an|Barry}}, they found the local {{type2|Steel}} Pokémon fighting brutally against each other and the other Pokémon on the island. When a crazed {{p|Aggron}} attacked Ash, [[Riley]] stepped in and had Lucario attack it with {{m|Close Combat}}. Despite being a Steel-type as well, Lucario wasn't affected like the others of its type due to its strong [[aura]].

===Minor appearances===
Lucario makes a cameo in the theme songs ''{{so|Battle Frontier}}'', ''[[Together]]'', and ''[[The Greatest Everyday]]''.

Lucario also makes a brief appearance at the intro of ''[[M10|The Rise of Darkrai]]'', where one is shown dodging {{p|Rayquaza}}'s {{m|Hyper Beam}}.

A Lucario and {{p|Froslass}} were seen in a Double contest on TV in ''[[DP150|Unlocking the Red Chain of Events!]]''.

===Pokédex entries===
{{Animedexheader|Sinnoh}}
{{Animedexbody|DP066|Lucario|Ash's Pokédex|Lucario, the Aura Pokémon, and the evolved form of {{p|Riolu}}. By sensing the [[aura]] of its opponents, Lucario can read their thoughts and movements.}}
{{Animedexfooter/Pokémon|''Diamond & Pearl''|Sinnoh}}

==In the manga==
In the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga, like in games, it appears under the ownership of [[Riley]].

In [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Adventure!]] [[Hareta]] gained a Riolu egg in ''[[DPA10|Serious Training on Iron Island!!]]'' which hatched into a Riolu later on in that chapter then evolved in to Lucario in [[DPA14]].

[[Hiori]] owns a Lucario in [[Phantom Thief Pokémon 7]].

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

==Other appearances==
===[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]===
[[File:Lucario Brawl.png|140px|thumb|right|Lucario in Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]
Lucario is a playable character available in ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl''. It is unlocked by encountering it in [[The Subspace Emissary]] either from choosing it to battle and claim victory over Meta Knight or vice-versa. It can also be unlocked by playing 100 brawls or beating Target Smash!! on all difficulty levels (in either 1 or 2-player modes).

Lucario appears to be able to talk with the help of Aura; most notably seen while using his Final Smash when it says "Watch the power of Aura!" Lucario's fighting style revolves around Aura manipulation and the concept of "high risk, high return"; the more damage Lucario has taken, the stronger it and its attacks become. Its power is at its peak when it has taken 200% damage, and is in last place during a fight.

====[[wp:Metal Gear|Codec]] information (on Shadow Moses Island)====
*'''[[wp:List of recurring Metal Gear characters#Mei Ling|Mei Ling]]:''' ''"You're fighting Lucario, aren't you, Snake?"''
*'''{{wp|Solid Snake}}:''' ''"Mei Ling, what's that purple fire coming out of his hands??"''
*'''Mei Ling:''' ''"That's his '[[Aura]].'"''
*'''Solid Snake:''' ''"Aura?"''
*'''Mei Ling:''' ''"I guess you could call it his life force. Lucario can use his own Aura and turn it into power. Every time Lucario's damage increases, his Aura gains strength, making his [[moves|attacks]] more powerful. So don't think you've got him beat just because his health is down."''
*'''Solid Snake:''' ''"The cornered rat will bite the cat... Sounds like trouble."''
*'''Mei Ling:''' ''"Hey! When did you become so good with [[wp:chinese proverbs|proverbs?!]]"''
*'''Solid Snake:''' ''"You must have rubbed off on me."''
*'''Mei Ling:''' ''"Well, come back in one piece, and I'll teach you all the Chinese proverbs you can handle."''

===Trophy information===
====Classic Mode: Lucario====
''An [[Aura]] Pokémon. It can track energy called [[Aura]], which is given off by all living creatures. It's a unique combination of both {{t|Fighting}}- and {{type2|Steel}}s. Lucario evolves from {{p|Riolu}} during the [[Time|day]] if its {{DL|Happiness|evolutions|happiness}} has reached a certain point. It specializes in attacks that use [[Aura]] energy, like {{m|Dark Pulse}} and a can't-miss technique, {{m|Aura Sphere}}.''

====All-Star Mode: Aura Storm====
''Lucario's [[Final Smash]]. After flying off the screen, Lucario reappears in its center. It then launches a powerful [[Aura]] attack against all foes within a certain distance. The key to this attack is the ability to change its angle--it's a must to sweep slowly left and right to his selected enemies multiple times. The last blow will send the victim flying away.''
{{right clear}}

==Game data==
===NPC appearances===
*[[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team]]: Lucario is seen as the greatest rescue leader of all time, and his adventures have become legendary. While the player never meets Lucario, {{p|Alakazam}} tells the player that his goal is to become closer to Lucario's greatness. Earning 15,000 Rescue Points will put the player in the top [[Rescue Team ranks (Mystery Dungeon)|rank]] - the Lucario rank - at which point the Lucario statue will be displayed outside the rescue base.
*[[Pokémon Ranger: Shadows of Almia]]: Lucario is the guardian of the {{DL|The King of Almia and the Three Princes|Blue Gem}}.

==Trivia==
[[File:Dusty.png|thumb|Dusty's Lucario Costume]]
* Lucario's English name, which is unchanged from the Japanese version, was revealed on February 9, 2006 with the announcement of the title of ''[[M08|Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]''.
* Before {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}} were released, many believed Lucario to be a [[legendary Pokémon]], based on its starring role in ''[[M08|Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]''. This has since been proven untrue, as it is readily available in the [[Generation IV]] games, is under ownership by NPCs, and even [[Evolution|evolves]] from a Pokémon, {{p|Riolu}}.
* In [[Pokémon Ranger: Shadows of Almia]], Lucario is the only one out of three Gem Guardians that is not a legendary Pokémon.
* Lucario can learn damaging moves from 15 of the 17 [[elemental type]]s. The only types that Lucario can't learn are {{type2|Grass}} and {{type2|Flying}}, with the exception of {{m|Hidden Power}}.
* Lucario is third highest of base stat total of all Fighting-type Pokémon with 525, only beaten by {{p|Infernape}} and {{p|Blaziken}}.
* In [[Pokémon Battle Revolution]], a Lucario Costume is seen, worn by [[Dusty]].
* Lucario is the only Pokémon other than the {{p|Cubone}} [[List of Pokémon by evolution family|evolutionary family]] to learn {{m|Bone Rush|a bone-based}} [[move]]. Ironically, Lucario is the only Pokémon seen using it in the anime.
* Both of Lucario's [[Ability|abilities]] relate to [[flinch]]ing. {{a|Steadfast}} makes Lucario faster when flinching, whilst {{a|Inner Focus}} protects it from it.
** Due to this combination, Steadfast can only activate in [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time, Explorers of Darkness]] and [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky|Explorers of Sky]] if Lucario becomes {{DL|Seeds|X-Eye Seed|cross-eyed}}.

===Trivia related to type===
* No other Pokémon has the same [[type]] [[List of Pokémon with unique type combinations|combination]] as Lucario.
** It is the only {{type2|Fighting}} Pokémon that receives double damage from Fighting-type moves.
** Lucario has the highest Special Attack of all Fighting-types
*** It is also the only {{type2|Fighting}} Pokémon whose {{stat|Special Attack}} stat surpasses its {{stat|Attack}}.
** It is also the only Fighting-type not weak to {{t|Flying}}- and {{type2|Psychic}} (without being part Psychic-type itself) moves.
** It is the only Pokémon to have a double resistance to {{type2|Dark}} attacks and one of two Pokémon that have a double resistance to {{type2|Rock}} moves; the other is {{p|Steelix}}.
* Lucario is the only Pokémon that learns {{m|Dragon Pulse}} through leveling up who is not a {{type2|Dragon}} or related to a Dragon-type.
* Lucario is one of two {{type2|Fighting}}, non-{{type2|Psychic}} Pokémon that are capable of learning {{m|Psychic}} via TM. The other one is {{p|Poliwrath}}.
* Lucario, along with {{p|Mawile}}, {{p|Metang}}, {{p|Metagross}}, and {{p|Arceus}} (while holding Iron Plate), are only Steel-type Pokémon able to learn a damaging {{type2|Poison}} move. In Lucario's case this move is {{m|Poison Jab}}.
* Despite {{m|Aura Sphere}} being a {{type2|Fighting}} move, Lucario is the only Fighting-type Pokémon to learn this move, save for a {{p|Riolu}} from [[Pokémon Ranger: Shadows of Almia]].

===Origin===
Lucario appears to be based on the Egyptian god {{wp|Anubis}}, who has the head of a {{wp|jackal}}. It also seems to be based on an Egyptian boxer. {{wp|Boxing}} is a sport that is believed to have origins in Egypt. The black appendages on the back of its head are used to detect the Auras of creatures and objects around it. While Lucario reads Aura, it closes its eyes, and thus the appendages and the way they look "tied" around its face appear to be based on someone being blindfolded.

====Name origin====
Lucario's name possibly derives from part of a Japanese spelling of {{wp|oracle}} or {{wp|orichalcum}} in reverse, reflecting its mythical design, its ability to see into the supernatural, and its Steel-type. It may also refer to {{wp|Cairo, Egypt}}. The word {{wp|pharaoh}} may also be involved.

'''Typhlosion''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''バクフーン''' ''Bakphoon'') is a {{type2|Fire}} [[Pokémon]].

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

==Biology==
Typhlosion, in appearance, becomes much different than its pre-evolutions; however, some resemblances remain. For instance, it is both a biped and a quadruped, like Cyndaquil and Quilava, respectively. The fiery vents on its back disappear, making way for a new ring of them around its neck and shoulders.

===Physiology===
Typhlosion has a somewhat bearlike physique, with bulky thighs and a collar of fire around its neck. Typhlosion’s ears are thinner compared to Quilava, and lack ear insides. Typhlosion’s face, underside, arms, and legs are a shade of cream, and its back is dark blue. The fur of a Typhlosion is very coarse and highly flame-retardant, giving it an extreme resistance to heat and fire attacks. This may also be to keep it from injuring itself during battle when using attacks such as {{m|Flamethrower}} or {{m|Flame Wheel}}. On Typhlosion’s rear is a spiky, coarse fringe of its back fur.

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

====Special abilities====
When a Typhlosion's health drops in battle, the {{a|Blaze}} ability comes into play. This gives its {{type2|Fire}} attacks a boost of 1.5 times their normal power. Typhlosion hides behind a shimmering heat haze that it creates using its intensely hot flames. It can even generate enough heat to make any object go up in flames when angered. It can also rub its blazing fur together to cause huge, devastating explosive blasts, also capable of burning anything to cinders, and its {{m|Flame Wheel}} is second to none.

===Behavior===
Its personality has dramatically changed since it was a Cyndaquil, being rather quick-tempered and making anything go up in flames when angered. It also now is a natural biped, in contrast to its pre-evolutions. Most artwork of Typhlosion display it with its mouth open, as if yelling in fury.

===Habitat===
[[Image:Grassland.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Grassland Pokémon}}]]
Typhlosion make their nests along mountainsides and heated grasslands. However, they are rarely found in the wild, with the majority being evolved from a {{p|Cyndaquil}} that [[Professor Elm]] gives to the [[Johto]] region's beginning Trainers.

===Diet===
Typhlosion have several sharp canine teeth along their gumlines, suggesting a carnivorous diet.

==In the anime==
[[Image:Jimmy's Typhlosion.png|thumb|right|{{jo|Jimmy}}'s {{TP|Jimmy|Typhlosion}}]]
===Major appearances===
====[[Jimmy's Typhlosion]]====
Typhlosion's first anime appearance was in the ''[[The Legend of Thunder!]]'' special, under the ownership of {{jo|Jimmy}}. It was his [[starter Pokémon]], which he got as a {{p|Cyndaquil}} from [[Professor Elm]].

====Other====

===Minor appearances===
Typhlosion made its main series debut in ''[[AG015|Gonna Rule The School]]'' at the [[Pokémon Trainer's School]].

Another Typhlosion appeared in ''[[AG055|Poetry Commotion]]'' under the ownership of [[Mr. Moore]], [[Flannery]]'s grandfather.

==In the manga==
{{adv|Gold}}'s Quilava evolved into [[Explotaro|Typhlosion]] to protect {{adv|Silver}}, {{adv|Crystal}}, and himself from {{p|Lugia}}. Afterwards, its larger size allowed it to be a method of faster travel (akin to Crystal's [[Mega|Meganium]]), and with its increased power allowed Gold to hold his own and even overpower the [[Masked Man]].

Another Typhlosion was seen under [[Kimberly]]'s ownership, displaying its fantastically destructive {{m|Blast Burn}} attack alongside her {{p|Meganium}} with its {{m|Frenzy Plant}}. Doing so damaged much of the surrounding landscape, as well as a large girth of the ship nearby, earning the old woman much ire.

==Trivia==
* Typhlosion is the only final form of a {{type2|Fire}} [[starter Pokémon]] that does not have two [[Elemental type|types]]: {{p|Charizard}} is {{2t|Fire|Flying}} while both {{p|Blaziken}} and {{p|Infernape}} are {{2t|Fire|Fighting}}.
* Typhlosion has the same base stat values as {{p|Charizard}} and {{p|Infernape}}, two of the other three fully-evolved starter Pokémon. {{p|Blaziken}}'s base stat total is 530.
* Typhlosion is the only final form of a Fire-type starter Pokémon that can only learn {{m|Flare Blitz}} by breeding. {{p|Charizard}}, {{p|Blaziken}} and {{p|Infernape}} learn it by leveling up.
** However, Typhlosion and its pre-evolutions can learn {{m|Eruption}} by level-up, which is one of the highest base power Fire-type moves. It is the only Fire-type starter line that can learn this move.
* Though it is a bipedal Pokémon, its [[body style]] is shared with quadrupedal Pokémon (however, in the anime, it can walk and run on it four legs and arms).

===Origin===
The appearance of this [[Pokémon]] is based on a {{wp|badger}} or {{wp|wolverine}}.

====Name origin====
Typhlosion's name is a combination of ''{{wp|typhoon}}'' and ''explosion''. Its name is also similar to the word ''typhus'', a Greek word meaning 'hazy' (which would describe the effect that the intense heat Typhlosion generates has on the air surrounding it), and may also be related to ''tephra'', volcanic material. The name is also similar to the word "typhlosaurus", a genus of skink (a kind of lizard) characterised by their lack of legs. The first three syllables of its Japanese name spell 爆風 ''bakufū'', blast, and the second part comes directly from typhoon.

==In other languages==
*[[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Tornupto - From ''tornado'' and ''eruption''.
*[[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Typhlosion
*[[List of Korean Pokémon names|Korean]]: 블레이범 ''Blaibom'' - A portmanteau of ''blaze'' and possibly ''bomb''.
*[[List of Chinese Pokémon names|Chinese (Taiwan)]]: 火暴獸 ''Huŏ Bào Shòu'' - Literally "Fire fierce beast". 火暴 ''Huŏ Bào'' can also be derived from 爆 ''baku'' of its Japanese name.

'''Quilava''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''マグマラシ''' ''Magmarashi'') is a {{type2|Fire}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Cyndaquil}} starting at level 14, and evolves into {{p|Typhlosion}} starting at level 36.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Like its pre-evolution {{p|Cyndaquil}}, the top half of its body is blue and the lower half milky-colored; however, its entire body is slimmer in proportion. It also seems to have triangular ears with red-colored insides. Quilava possesses a much smaller, more rounded nose than the one it had as Cyndaquil, and its eyes are open, revealing its red irises. It has five red-colored spots on its body in which it projects flame at will, two in a somewhat exclamation-mark shape on its forehead and three lined up horizontally on its rear.
====Gender differences====
None.

====Special abilities====
Quilava's fur is non-flammable, so it can withstand flame attacks. The fire coming from its head and rear, which are stronger than Cyndaquil's, can be launched as a flame attack.

===Behavior===
Quilava is known to be less timid than Cyndaquil, though its behavior appears to be affected by its surroundings. A very common occurrence during evolution is an increase in aggression. Although Quilava is a natural quadruped, it is prone to rising onto its hind legs on occasion.

===Habitat===
[[Image:Grassland.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Grassland Pokémon}}]]
Quilava has been known to adapt to many habitats; however, it is usually found in the care of {{pkmn|Trainer}}s.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

==In the anime==
[[File:Ash Quilava.png|250px|thumb|right|Quilava in the anime]]
===Major appearances===
====[[Ash's Quilava]]====
Ash's {{p|Cyndaquil}} evolved into Quilava in [[DP182]], fighting one of Team Rocket's mechas. He will be using it in the Sinnoh League tournament.

====Other====
Quilava first played a major role in ''[[EP267|Love, Pokémon Style!]]'' as [[Macey]]'s Pokémon. She used it against Ash during the Silver Conference but was defeated by his {{AP|Squirtle}}.

In ''[[AG128|Shocks and Bonds]]'', [[Clark]], a trainer that likes to conduct battles like a symphony, used a Quilava and {{p|Charizard}} against [[Ash's Grovyle]] and {{AP|Glalie}}. Despite the type disadvantage, Ash's Grovyle defeated Clark's Quilava.

A Quilava was used by one of two [[Ryan and Bryan|twin brothers]] in ''[[DP029|The Champ Twins]]'' in a battle against Ash and {{an|Dawn}}. The other twin used {{p|Croconaw}}.

===Minor appearances===
Quilava first appeared as a cameo in the episode ''[[EP262|You're A Star, Larvitar]]'' where {{Ash}} witnessed a trainer training with his Quilava for the [[Silver Conference]] and also considered for a short time of getting his Cyndaquil to evolve as a way of training it for the Silver Conference following Cyndaquil's defeat against [[Satchel]]'s {{p|Magby}}.

===Pokédex entries===
{{Animedexheader|Sinnoh}}
{{Animedexbody|DP029|Quilava|Ash's Pokédex|Quilava, the Volcano Pokémon, and the evolved form of {{p|Cyndaquil}}. Its body is covered with fire-proof fur and can withstand any {{type2|Fire}} attack.}}
{{Animedexfooter/Pokémon|''Diamond & Pearl''|Sinnoh}}

==In the manga==
{{adv|Gold}}'s [[Explotaro|Cyndaquil]] of the {{chap|Gold, Silver & Crystal}} in [[Pokémon Adventures]] evolved into Quilava during a training session at the [[Pokémon daycare|Daycare Center]] outside of [[Goldenrod City]]. It then became massively more powerful than it was in its previous form, and defeated many of the Johto [[Team Rocket]]'s grunt Pokémon for Gold. After being used in Gold's battle with his rival {{adv|Silver}} in the ruins of [[Ecruteak City]], it spent several weeks captive inside one of Gold's [[Poké Ball]]s and evolved simultaneously with [[Silver's Croconaw]] and [[Mega]]. In its fully evolved form, it berthed itself even more in battle for the boy.

==Trivia==
* Quilava shares the same [[species]] name with {{p|Typhlosion}} and {{p|Entei}}. They are all known as the Volcano Pokémon.
* Quilava's normal Gold and Silver sprites had completely red eyes. This was later corrected in the Crystal games.
* Despite what several [[Pokédex]] entries may imply, Quilava is not immune to {{type2|Fire}} moves.
===Origin===
Its appearance is similar to most animals in the {{wp|Mustela}} genus, although it is most likely a {{wp|stoat}} based on its lack of a tail and the fur on its upper body being significantly darker than that on its underbelly.
====Name origin====
Quilava's name is a combination of ''quill'', a needlelike hair, and ''lava'', extrusive molten rock. Its Japanese name is a combination of ''magma'' and 山荒 ''yama-arashi'', [[wp:porcupine|porcupine]].

==In other languages==
*[[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Igelavar - From ''Igel'' (hedgehog) and ''lava''.

'''Cyndaquil''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ヒノアラシ''' ''Hinoarashi'') is a {{type2|Fire}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolve]]s into {{p|Quilava}} starting at [[level]] 14, who evolves into {{p|Typhlosion}} starting at level 36.

Along with {{p|Chikorita}} and {{p|Totodile}}, it is one of the three [[starter Pokémon]] available at the beginning of [[Pokémon Gold and Silver Versions|Pokémon Gold, Silver]], {{v2|Crystal}}, [[Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver Versions|HeartGold, and SoulSilver]].

==Biology==

===Physiology===
Its fur is bluish on top of its body, but a milky color on the underside. Although called the Fire Mouse Pokémon, Cyndaquil seems to be a composite of features from the echidna, seen in the flames erupting from its back, and the shrew, the general shape of its body. Its eyes are often closed, as it is still young. It has four spots from which its flames erupt. It lacks claws on its forelimbs, but has a single claw on each hind foot.

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

====Special abilities====
Cyndaquil is capable of defending itself by using the fire on its back. The fire grows more powerful as the Cyndaquil becomes more angry or defensive. Cyndaquil is also able to expel {{m|SmokeScreen|obscuring smoke}} to lower the accuracy of its opponent.

===Behavior===
Cyndaquil are usually timid, but its actual behavior depends on its personality. It tends to hide in dangerous situations. Most Cyndaquil, like {{OP|Ash|Cyndaquil}}, are inexperienced at start and don't know their strengths and weaknesses.

===Habitat===
[[File:Grassland.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Grassland Pokémon}}]]
Cyndaquil can adapt to many habitats, however, most are found in the care of {{pkmn|Trainer}}s, having been their [[starter Pokémon]].

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

==In the anime==
===Major appearances===
====[[Ash's Cyndaquil]]====
[[Ash Ketchum]] captured a {{AP|Cyndaquil}} in ''[[EP141|Good 'Quil Hunting]]''. During its early days on Ash's team, Cyndaquil was easily tired-out (e.g. waiting a while for the flames on its back to ignite so it could use {{type2|Fire}} attacks). Eventually, Cyndaquil overcame its shortcomings. Ash left his Cyndaquil, along with the rest of his [[Johto]] [[Party|team]] (save for {{p|Pikachu}}), at [[Professor Oak]]'s lab when he set out for [[Hoenn]]. Later, Ash called Cyndaquil back into his party for the [[Sinnoh League]] in [[DP182]]. It evolved into {{p|Quilava}} after a battle with [[Team Rocket]]'s mecha.
[[File:Dawn Cynda.png|thumb|250px|Dawn's Cyndaquil]]

====[[Dawn's Cyndaquil]]====
In ''[[DP143|An Egg Scramble!]]'', {{an|Dawn}} defeated {{an|Lyra}} in a battle, winning an {{pkmn|egg}}. Shortly after, the egg hatched into a Cyndaquil.

====Other====

===Minor appearances===
Cyndaquil first appeared in the anime in ''[[EP117|Don't Touch That 'dile]]'' as one of the three starters [[Professor Elm]] had to give out at his lab.

{{jo|Jimmy}} chose Cyndaquil as his [[starter Pokémon]]. By ''[[The Legend of Thunder!]]'', it had become a {{TP|Jimmy|Typhlosion}}.

{{FB|Pike Queen|Lucy}} has a pet Cyndaquil.

A Cyndaquil is owned by one of the students of Snowpoint Trainers' School in ''[[DP126|Classroom Training!]]''.

Cyndaquil has a role in ''[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]'' alongside the other [[Johto]] starters, {{p|Chikorita}} and {{p|Totodile}}.

===Pokédex entries===
{{Animedexheader|Johto}}
{{Animedexbody|EP141|Cyndaquil|Ash's Pokédex|Cyndaquil, the Fire Mouse Pokémon. Normally mild and even tempered, Cyndaquil will shoot a scorching flame out of its back when upset.}}
{{Animedexfooter/Pokémon|original|Johto}}

==In the manga==
In [[Pokémon Adventures]], {{adv|Gold}} took the Cyndaquil from [[Professor Elm]]'s lab to try to catch the thief {{adv|Silver}}. He named the Cyndaquil "[[Explotaro]]" for the explosive fire from its back. After undergoing a bit of training with the rest of Gold's Pokémon, it evolved into {{p|Quilava}} and became a much more adept battler, and weeks after {{adv|Silver}} and its owner's loss against the [[Masked Man]], again evolved into a {{p|Typhlosion}} as [[Mega]] and [[Silver's Feraligatr|Croconaw]] evolved, as well. Its even greater power then enabled it to gain the upper hand in Gold's rematch with the villain, melting his ice body with its firepower augmented by {{DL|Gold|Sintaro}}'s {{m|Sunny Day}}.

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

==Other appearances==
===[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]===
When released from a Poké Ball, Cyndaquil will aim a {{m|Flamethrower}} diagonally towards the ground in one direction. It is one of the easiest Pokémon to avoid, however. It can also be knocked off the screen.

====Trophy information====
Cyndaquil frighten easily, so they're often found curled up in balls. When threatened, they flare the flames on their backs to drive off enemies. Cyndaquil was one of the three Pokémon that Trainers could choose from at the beginning of Pokémon Silver, Gold, and Crystal. No one knows if their eyes are open.

===[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]===
Cyndaquil is not a Poké Ball item anymore. It is only a trophy.

====Trophy information====
A Fire Mouse Pokémon. It's a timid creature that often curls up into a ball. When threatened, it flares up the flames on its back to scare off enemies. When it's angry, it can produce powerful flames, but when it's tired, it has trouble producing fire and suffers from incomplete combustion. When it levels up, it evolves into Quilava. Its squinty eyes are adorable.

==Game data==
===NPC appearances===
* [[Pokémon Pinball: Ruby & Sapphire]]: Hitting Cyndaquil will knock it back. After a few hits, Cyndaquil will be knocked into the Egg stand and the flame on its back will start heating the egg. Hitting Cyndaquil one more time will cause the egg to hatch and the player will have a chance to catch the newly hatched Pokémon.

==Trivia==
*Cyndaquil and its evolutions are the only Pokémon that were not introduced in [[Generation I]] that can legally have {{m|Submission}}. Despite this, it can only learn it by {{pkmn|breeding}} in [[Generation II]] only, and even then only in {{v2|Crystal}}.
*Cyndaquil is so far the only Fire-type [[starter Pokémon]] that is not primarily red or orange. This holds true for its evolutions, but not its shiny form.
*Cyndaquil is the only Fire-type starter that does not gain a secondary type during evolution all the way up to its final form.
**Cyndaquil's line and the {{p|Magby}} line are the only Fire-type families with three stages that never gain a second type.
*Cyndaquil along with {{p|Chimchar}}, are the only two starter Pokémon that evolve at level 14, the lowest level starters evolve at. Coincidentally, both are the Fire-type choice in the regions introduced in an even-numbered generation, and both are the only mammal-inspired starter Pokémon in any generation save for Pikachu in the special Yellow version.
*Cyndaquil is the second starter Pokémon to be seen hatching from an {{pkmn|egg}} in the {{pkmn|anime}}, the first being {{p|Mudkip}}.
* Despite being able to learn {{m|Swift}} via level up, it can't learn it via MoveTutor.
===Origin===
Its appearance is based on the {{wp|echidna}}.
====Name origin====
Cyndaquil's name is a combination of the words ''cinder'', meaning ashes, and ''quill'', referring to needle-like hairs. ''Hinoarashi'' could be taken to mean 火の嵐, storm of fire, but it is likely to also be based on 山荒 ''yama-arashi'', {{wp|porcupine}}.

'''Noctowl''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ヨルノズク''' ''Yorunozuku'') is a dual-type {{2t|Normal|Flying}} Pokémon.

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

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Noctowl looks much like a ‘normal’ owl, with a brown coloring and a triangle pattern of a darker shade of brown running down its chest. Its wings and wedge-shaped tail are dark brown like the pattern on its chest, although the underside of its wings is the same light brown as most of its body. It has bushy, cream-colored feather 'horns' that look similar to a {{wp|trident}} or {{wp|eyebrows}}. The ring pattern around its eyes and its talons are cream in coloration, and Noctowl’s beak and the nails of its talons are light pink. Addtionally, Noctowl’s irises are red.
====Gender differences====
None.

===Special abilities===
Noctowl are [[nocturnal Pokémon]]. They have exceptional hearing and eyesight, can fly silently, and can turn their heads at a 180° angle to increase intellect.

===Behavior===
When it needs to think, it rotates its head 180 degrees to sharpen its intellectual power. It also silently sneaks up on prey without being detected.

===Habitat===
[[Image:Forest.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Forest Pokémon}}]]
Noctowl normally only come out at night. They tend to make their nests in the trees of forests.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}
Judging from its entry in Pokémon Crystal and its sharp talons, Noctowl is likely a predatory Pokémon.

==In the anime==
[[Image:Noctowl anime.png|thumb|Noctowl in the anime]]
===Major appearances===
====[[Ash's Noctowl]]====
Noctowl first appeared in ''[[EP154|Fowl Play]]''. A man was trying to capture a smaller, {{shiny2}} Noctowl by using traps, but kept failing due to the Owl Pokémon's intelligence. After [[Team Rocket]] was sent flying, the Noctowl allowed {{Ash}} to have the chance to capture it. After an intense battle, Ash succeeded.

Ash's Noctowl was used very much like his {{AP|Pidgeotto}}, but it also had access to {{t|Psychic}} attacks such as {{m|Confusion}} which contributed greatly to Ash's victory against [[Morty]]. Ash left his Noctowl at [[Professor Oak]]'s lab when he set out for the [[Hoenn]] region.

Noctowl returned in [[DP182]] alongside several other members of Ash's reserves. It will battle [[Conway]]'s team in [[DP185]].

====Other====
[[Wings Alexander]] also has a Noctowl, as seen in ''[[EP223|Throwing in the Noctowl]]''. The latest Noctowl appearance was in ''[[DP091|One Team, Two Team, Red Team, Blue Team]]'' where it seemed to be the normal Noctowl size, not the smaller size that every other Noctowl seen so far has been.

===Minor appearances===
A Noctowl appeared in ''[[DP100|Aiding the Enemy]]''.

Another appeared in ''[[DP118|Pursuing a Lofty Goal!]]'' belonging to a participant of the [[PokéRinger]] competition.

==Trivia==
* Noctowl is the only Pokémon to be captured in its shiny form by a main character in the {{pkmn|anime}}, as well as being the first shiny Pokémon seen in the anime.
* The inside of Noctowl's wings are only seen in {{v2|Emerald}} of the handheld games, Noctowl's wings are also visible in [[Pokémon Colosseum]] and [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]].
* Noctowl has the highest base {{stat|HP}} stat of all dual-type {{2t|Normal|Flying}} Pokémon.

===Origin===
Noctowl's appearance is based on that of the Japanese {{wp|Eagle Owl}}, who were seen as wise divine messengers of the gods.

====Name origin====
Noctowl's name is a combination of ''{{wp|nocturnal}}'' and ''{{wp|owl}}''. Its Japanese name is a combination of 夜 ''yoru'' (night), and 木菟 ''mimizuku'' ({{wp|horned owl}}).

==In other languages==
*[[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Noctuh - May come from ''noctu'' (Latin for "at night"), ''Uhu'' (eagle owl) or ''huh'' (a sound to express shivering in German).
*[[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Noarfang - From ''noir'' (black) and ''harfang'' ({{wp|snowy owl}}).
*[[List of Korean Pokémon names|Korean]]: 야부엉 ''Yabueong''
*[[List of Chinese Pokémon names|Chinese (Taiwan)]]: 貓頭夜鷹 ''Māo Tóu Yè Yīng'' - Combination of 貓頭鷹 ''{{wp|owl}}'' and 夜鷹 ''{{wp|nighthawk}}''. Literally "Cat-headed night hawk".

Signature move

2010-07-16T12:32:30Z

Darklight: /* Other signature move examples */

'''Signature moves''' are [[move]]s that can only be learned by a single [[Pokémon]] or a very small select group of Pokémon by level-up (with the exception of Pichu's {{m|Volt Tackle}}), usually in the same evolutionary line. Note that any of the moves included in this classification (except for {{m|Chatter}}) can be learned by {{P|Smeargle}} by use of {{M|Sketch}}, making Sketch and Chatter the only moves that are truly exclusive to one Pokémon legitimately. Also, some of these moves can be passed down via {{pkmn|breeding}} to other Pokémon.

==List of Pokémon and their signature moves==
Note: All levels listed are the level the Pokémon will learn the move as of [[Generation IV]].

==One-off signature moves==
This is a list of signature moves that at only one point, another Pokémon had the ability to acquire:

* A {{p|Dratini}} that knows '''{{m|ExtremeSpeed}}''' is obtainable in {{game|Crystal}}, {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}} after answering a quiz in the [[Dragon's Den]].
* An egg will be given by the daycare man in {{game|Crystal}} that hatches into a random baby Pokémon that knows '''{{m|Dizzy Punch}}'''.
* A {{p|Skitty}} with '''{{m|Pay Day}}''' can be obtained from a special {{Pkmn|egg}} after depositing 500 Pokémon in [[Pokémon Box Ruby & Sapphire]] from a Game Boy Advance game pak.
** Also, in Generation I, various other pokémon can learn '''{{m|Pay Day}}''' through the use of [[TM16]].
* After [[Shadow Lugia|Lugia]] from [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]] has been purified, it learns '''{{m|Psycho Boost}}''' and '''{{m|FeatherDance}}'''.
* Similarly, after {{p|Articuno}}, {{p|Zapdos}} and {{p|Moltres}} from Pokémon XD have been purified, they all learn '''{{m|Extrasensory}}'''.
* A {{p|Darkrai}} with '''{{m|Roar of Time}}''' and '''{{m|Spacial Rend}}''' was available as a special giveaway to commemorate the [[M10|10th movie]].
* An {{p|Arceus}} with '''{{m|Roar of Time}}''', '''{{m|Spacial Rend}}''' and '''{{m|Shadow Force}}''' was available as a special giveaway to commemorate the [[M12|12th movie]].

==Other signature move examples==
* Although other Pokémon are capable of learning '''{{m|Drill Peck}}''', {{p|Fearow}}, {{p|Dodrio}}, and {{p|Zapdos}} are shown to be the most common Pokémon to use it.
* The {{p|Squirtle}} evolution family and {{p|Sharpedo}} are the only Pokémon to learn '''{{m|Skull Bash}}''' by leveling up, but other Pokémon could learn it through [[TM40]] in [[Generation I]].
* Although '''{{m|Megahorn}}''' was no longer {{p|Heracross}}'s signature move since [[Generation III]], it is still the only {{type2|Bug}} Pokémon that can learn the move.
* {{p|Sudowoodo}} is the only Pokémon to learn '''{{m|Mimic}}''' by leveling up in [[Generation II]], but other Pokémon could learn it through [[TM31]] in [[Generation I]] and [[move tutor]] in [[Generation III]].
* {{p|Lucario}} is usually associated with '''{{m|Aura Sphere}}''' and '''{{m|Force Palm}}''', but eight Pokémon (including Lucario) can learn Aura Sphere in total. Seven Pokémon (including Lucario) can learn Force Palm. However, it should be noted that Lucario is the only Fighting-type Pokémon to learn Aura Sphere naturally.
* {{p|Charizard}}, {{p|Venusaur}}, and {{p|Blastoise}} have traditionally been associated with '''{{m|Flamethrower}}''', '''{{m|SolarBeam}}''', and '''{{m|Hydro Pump}}''', respectively since [[Generation I]], despite the fact that several other Pokémon can learn those moves. In [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]], it even refers to {{m|Flamethrower}} as {{p|Charizard}}'s signature move.
* Eight Pokémon can currently learn {{p|Arcanine}}'s former signature move, '''{{m|ExtremeSpeed}}'''.
* {{p|Goldeen}} and {{p|Seaking}} had '''{{m|Waterfall}}''' as their signature move in [[Generation I]], before it was changed to a [[HM]]. They are still the only ones to learn it by level up.
* In [[Generation]]s {{gen|II}} and {{gen|IV}}, {{p|Hitmonlee}} is the only Pokémon who can learn '''{{m|Mega Kick}}'''. However, in Generations {{gen|I}} and {{gen|III}}, others could learn it through [[TM]] and [[move tutor]] respectively.
** As for '''{{m|Jump Kick}}''', it was its signature move for the first three generations; however, it was discovered that {{p|Buneary}} and {{p|Lopunny}} can learn it in Generation IV.
* {{p|Jolteon}} and {{p|Vaporeon}}'s signature moves are said to be '''{{m|Pin Missile}}''' and '''{{m|Acid Armor}}''', respectively. Both abilities are alluded to in both Pokémon's various Pokédex entries. However, many Pokémon learn both moves by leveling up, and some through {{pkmn|breeding}}. Likewise, {{p|Umbreon}}'s '''{{m|Moonlight}}''' matches {{p|Espeon}}'s '''{{m|Morning Sun}}''', though others can learn it even in its introductory generation.
* {{p|Suicune}}, being known as the Aurora Pokémon, is associated with the move '''{{m|Aurora Beam}}'''.
* {{p|Ditto}} has '''{{m|Transform}}''' as its only move and is most associated with it; however, {{p|Mew}} is also able to learn it.
* {{P|Unown}} can learn only '''{{m|Hidden Power}}'''; however, almost every other Pokémon can learn it via [[TM10]] in [[Generation II]] and beyond.
* Each of {{p|Rotom}}'s forms has its own signature move that cannot be carried over to any of its other forms. However, none of these five moves are exclusive to it.
* Although several Pokémon can learn it by TM, until Generation III only {{p|Diglett}} and {{p|Dugtrio}} could learn '''{{m|Dig}}''' by level up.
* Until Generation III, {{p|Koffing}} and {{p|Weezing}} were the only Poison-type Pokémon capable of learning '''{{m|Smog}}'''. As of Generation IV, they are still the only Poison-types to learn the move naturally, and all other Poison-types must be bred the move to have it.

* Almost every Pokémon is able to learn '''{{m|Facade}}''' via [[TM42]]. However, {{p|Chimchar}} is the only one to learn it by leveling up.

Signature move

2010-07-07T12:46:31Z

Darklight: /* Other signature move examples */

'''Signature moves''' are [[move]]s that can only be learned by a single [[Pokémon]] or a very small select group of Pokémon by level-up (with the exception of Pikachu's {{m|Volt Tackle}}), usually in the same evolutionary line. Note that any of the moves included in this classification (except for {{m|Chatter}}) can be learned by {{P|Smeargle}} by use of {{M|Sketch}}, making Sketch and Chatter the only moves that are truly exclusive to one Pokémon legitimately. Also, some of these moves can be passed down via {{pkmn|breeding}} to other Pokémon.

==List of Pokémon and their signature moves==
Note: All levels listed are the level the Pokémon will learn the move as of [[Generation IV]].

==One-off signature moves==
This is a list of signature moves that at only one point, another Pokémon had the ability to acquire:

* A {{p|Dratini}} that knows '''{{m|ExtremeSpeed}}''' is obtainable in {{game|Crystal}}, {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}} after answering a quiz in the [[Dragon's Den]].
* An egg will be given by the daycare man in {{game|Crystal}} that hatches into a random baby Pokémon that knows '''{{m|Dizzy Punch}}'''.
* A {{p|Skitty}} with '''{{m|Pay Day}}''' can be obtained from a special {{Pkmn|egg}} after depositing 500 Pokémon in [[Pokémon Box Ruby & Sapphire]] from a Game Boy Advance game pak.
** Also, in Generation I, various other pokémon can learn '''{{m|Pay Day}}''' through the use of [[TM16]].
* After [[Shadow Lugia|Lugia]] from [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]] has been purified, it learns '''{{m|Psycho Boost}}''' and '''{{m|FeatherDance}}'''.
* Similarly, after {{p|Articuno}}, {{p|Zapdos}} and {{p|Moltres}} from Pokémon XD have been purified, they all learn '''{{m|Extrasensory}}'''.
* A {{p|Darkrai}} with '''{{m|Roar of Time}}''' and '''{{m|Spacial Rend}}''' was available as a special giveaway to commemorate the [[M10|10th movie]].
* An {{p|Arceus}} with '''{{m|Roar of Time}}''', '''{{m|Spacial Rend}}''' and '''{{m|Shadow Force}}''' was available as a special giveaway to commemorate the [[M12|12th movie]].

==Other signature move examples==
* Although other Pokémon are capable of learning '''{{m|Drill Peck}}''', {{p|Fearow}}, {{p|Dodrio}}, and {{p|Zapdos}} are shown to be the most common Pokémon to use it.
* The {{p|Squirtle}} evolution family and {{p|Sharpedo}} are the only Pokémon to learn '''{{m|Skull Bash}}''' by leveling up, but other Pokémon could learn it through [[TM40]] in [[Generation I]].
* Although '''{{m|Megahorn}}''' was no longer {{p|Heracross}}'s signature move since [[Generation III]], it is still the only {{type2|Bug}} Pokémon that can learn the move.
* {{p|Sudowoodo}} is the only Pokémon to learn '''{{m|Mimic}}''' by leveling up in [[Generation II]], but other Pokémon could learn it through [[TM31]] in [[Generation I]] and [[move tutor]] in [[Generation III]].
* {{p|Lucario}} is usually associated with '''{{m|Aura Sphere}}''' and '''{{m|Force Palm}}''', but eight Pokémon (including Lucario) can learn Aura Sphere in total. Seven Pokémon (including Lucario) can learn Force Palm. However, it should be noted that Lucario is the only Fighting-type Pokémon to learn Aura Sphere naturally.
* {{p|Charizard}}, {{p|Venusaur}}, and {{p|Blastoise}} have traditionally been associated with '''{{m|Flamethrower}}''', '''{{m|SolarBeam}}''', and '''{{m|Hydro Pump}}''', respectively since [[Generation I]], despite the fact that several other Pokémon can learn those moves. In [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]], it even refers to {{m|Flamethrower}} as {{p|Charizard}}'s signature move.
* Eight Pokémon can currently learn {{p|Arcanine}}'s former signature move, '''{{m|ExtremeSpeed}}'''.
* {{p|Goldeen}} and {{p|Seaking}} had '''{{m|Waterfall}}''' as their signature move in [[Generation I]], before it was changed to a [[HM]]. They are still the only ones to learn it by level up.
* In [[Generation]]s {{gen|II}} and {{gen|IV}}, {{p|Hitmonlee}} is the only Pokémon who can learn '''{{m|Mega Kick}}'''. However, in Generations {{gen|I}} and {{gen|III}}, others could learn it through [[TM]] and [[move tutor]] respectively.
** As for '''{{m|Jump Kick}}''', it was its signature move for the first three generations; however, it was discovered that {{p|Buneary}} and {{p|Lopunny}} can learn it in Generation IV.
* {{p|Jolteon}} and {{p|Vaporeon}}'s signature moves are said to be '''{{m|Pin Missile}}''' and '''{{m|Acid Armor}}''', respectively. Both abilities are alluded to in both Pokémon's various Pokédex entries. However, many Pokémon learn both moves by leveling up, and some through {{pkmn|breeding}}. Likewise, {{p|Umbreon}}'s '''{{m|Moonlight}}''' matches {{p|Espeon}}'s '''{{m|Morning Sun}}''', though others can learn it even in its introductory generation.
* {{p|Suicune}}, being known as the Aurora Pokémon, is associated with the move '''{{m|Aurora Beam}}'''.
* {{p|Ditto}} has '''{{m|Transform}}''' as its only move and is most associated with it; however, {{p|Mew}} is also able to learn it.
* {{P|Unown}} can learn only '''{{m|Hidden Power}}'''; however, almost every other Pokémon can learn it via [[TM10]] in [[Generation II]] and beyond.
* Each of {{p|Rotom}}'s forms has its own signature move that cannot be carried over to any of its other forms. However, none of these five moves are exclusive to it.
* Although several Pokémon can learn it by TM, until Generation III only {{p|Diglett}} and {{p|Dugtrio}} could learn '''{{m|Dig}}''' by level up.
* Until Generation III, {{p|Koffing}} and {{p|Weezing}} were the only Poison-type Pokémon capable of learning '''{{m|Smog}}'''. As of Generation IV, they are still the only Poison-types to learn the move naturally, and all other Poison-types must be bred the move to have it.
* Though many others can learn it through TM or breeding, {{p|Skarmory}} is the only Pokémon to learn '''{{m|Steel Wing}}''' by leveling up.
* {{p|Vigoroth}} is the only Pokémon to learn '''{{m|Focus Punch}}''' by leveling up. However, it also learns other Fighting-type moves by level-up, such as '''{{m|Reversal}}'''.
* {{p|Porygon-Z}} is the only Pokémon to learn '''{{m|Trick Room}}''' by leveling up.
* Almost every Pokémon is able to learn '''{{m|Facade}}''' via [[TM42]]. However {{p|Chimchar}} is the only one to learn it by leveling up.

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

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

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

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Unlike its pre-evolutions, it has wings that can allow it to {{m|fly}}. Charizard is a very {{t|dragon}}-like Pokémon. Like its previous forms, it has a long tail with a fire burning at the tip. It has extremely sharp claws, a long neck, and two horns protruding from the back of its head. The front of its two wings is blue, while the back is orange like the most of its body. Although hardly visible, Charizard's iris is light blue in color. Its belly and the undersides of its feet are cream-colored.
====Gender differences====
None.

===Special abilities===
As its pre-evolutions could, it can use a variety of {{type2|Fire}} moves. Being a {{type2|Fire}} {{pkmn2|starter}}, Charizard has the ability to learn {{m|Blast Burn}}. Its fire is incredibly hot, and described to be hot enough to melt boulders. Because of the wings it has grown upon evolution, Charizard can fly and can use many other {{type2|Flying}} abilities, and its wings are able to carry it close to an altitude of 4,600 feet.

It also has access to {{type2|Dragon}} moves, such as {{m|Dragon Claw}}, {{m|DragonBreath}}, and {{m|Dragon Rage}} as well as {{m|Dragon Pulse}}. It also is able to use {{m|Shadow Claw}}, and expel {{m|SmokeScreen|obscuring smoke}} to lower the accuracy of its opponent.

Since Charizard is a fully evolved Pokémon, it can use {{m|Hyper Beam}} and {{m|Giga Impact}}.

===Behavior===
Generally, a Charizard will be competitive. It loves to battle and spend a great amount of time training or looking for opponents. Its competitive spirit is also noteworthy, since it will never spit flames at a weaker foe unless provoked or commanded. When it gets very angered, the flames on its tail become a blueish-white color. It spits fire that is hot enough to melt boulders. It is known to have unintentionally caused massive forest fires with its tail-flame. The more experienced a Charizard, the more intense its tail flame and breath are. Charizard has been depicted in ''[[EP253|Great Bowls of Fire]]'' to repeatedly lick the people and Pokémon it is fond of, in a similar manner to a dog.

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

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

Its fierce appearance and disposition may suggest that it is mostly carnivorous, but like most Pokémon, it can subsist on the typical omnivorous diet most Pokémon share.

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

====Other====
Charizard first appeared in ''[[EP017|Island of the Giant Pokémon]]'', however it was a fake mechanical robot.
When [[James]] was in the Pokémon League Entrance Exam in ''[[EP056|The Ultimate Test]]'', he used a Charizard that he eventually tried to steal.

In ''[[SS017|Those Darn Electabuzz]]'', {{an|Casey}} had to help Corey Demario and his Charizard named Don get their fighting spirit back so that Corey could start pitching for The Electabuzz Baseball Team.

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

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

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

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

===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
{{main|Blue's Charizard}}

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

==In the TFG==

===[[Super Smash Bros.]]/[[Super Smash Bros. Melee|Melee]]/[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl|Brawl]]===
Charizard makes an appearance as a Pokémon released randomly from a [[Poké Ball]]. When summoned, Charizard will utilize {{m|Flamethrower}} alternating between the left and right. In Melee, the flames have more of a downward angle.

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

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

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

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

==Trivia==
* Charizard has the same cry as {{p|Rhyhorn}}.
* Charizard has the same base stats as {{p|Typhlosion}}.
* Charizard is the only {{type2|Flying}} Pokémon related to a starter Pokémon.
* Charizard shares the same [[species]] name as {{p|Charmeleon}}, {{p|Flareon}}, {{p|Moltres}}, and {{p|Infernape}}. They are all known as Flame Pokémon.
* Charizard holds the distinction of being the first Pokémon to appear in the Japanese version of the [[Pokémon anime]]; it is the first one to appear in the original opening credits. However, outside of Japan, this honor belongs to {{p|Mewtwo}}.
* In the anime, the inside of Charizard's wings are colored green, while in the games, they are colored blue.
* Charizard is the only Pokémon in the [[Super Smash Bros.]] series that transitioned from a [[Poké Ball]] Pokémon to a playable character.
* Charizard is the first Pokémon with {{t|Rock|a double weakness}}
** However, it is also the first Pokémon with {{t|Ground|an immunity}}
*Charizard has the highest base stat total of all final forms of the Kanto starters, at 534.
** Charizard is tied with {{p|Infernape}} and {{p|Typhlosion}} for the highest stat total of all final forms of fire-type starter Pokémon. They also have the second highest stat total of all final forms of starter Pokémon, being just one point below Swampert
* Charizard's [[Shiny Pokémon|shiny]] palette is radically different than that of its pre-evolved forms - {{p|Charmander}} and {{p|Charmeleon|Charmeleon's}} shiny forms are yellow while Charizard's is a deep purple. It is the only starter in the main series to have this contrast.

===Move related===
* Charizard is the only evolution of a [[starter Pokémon]] that can learn {{m|Fly}} through [[HM02]]. However, it was unable to do so in {{v2|Red and Blue|s}}. This was changed starting with {{v2|Yellow}}, making it possible to still get a Charizard with Fly in the original games by trading one from a later version.
* Charizard is the only non {{type2|Dragon}} to learn {{m|Dragon Claw}} via level-up.
* Due to having a tail, claws, and wings, Charizard is the only Pokémon (save for {{p|Smeargle}}) to be able to legitimately learn {{m|Iron Tail}}, {{m|Metal Claw}}, and {{m|Steel Wing}}.
* Charizard, along with {{p|Smeargle}}, {{p|Mew}}, {{p|Vibrava}} and {{p|Flygon}}, can learn both {{m|Dig}} and {{m|Fly}}.
* In [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]], Charizard is the only Pokémon to use a move not learned through level-up in [[Pokémon Trainer]]'s Final Smash. It also holds the most machine moves out of all of the Pokémon in the [[Super Smash Bros.]] series.

===Origin===
Charizard resembles the {{wp|European dragon}}, certainly one of many forms told and rendered in legends. Charizard's prominence as a dragon without being of the {{type2|Dragon}} is further reinforced in the video game {{ga|Pokémon Ranger}}, where one makes a cameo as one of four prominently featured {{wp|classical element|patron elemental}} dragon Pokémon.

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

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

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

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