Dogleader: SSB64 is not a Pokemon spin-off. It's a completely unrelated game.

The '''Nintendo 64''' (Japanese: '''ニンテンドウ{{j|64}}''' ''Nintendo 64''), often shortened to '''N64''', is a cartridge-based console created by [[Nintendo]]. It is the successor to the [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System]], and was eventually succeeded by the [[Nintendo GameCube]].

The Nintendo 64 is named for its 64-bit central processing unit. It was the last major home console to use cartridges as a primary storage format until the [[Nintendo Switch]]. It was first codenamed "Project Reality" and later referred to as the "Ultra 64" before the final name was chosen. It was originally set to release in mid-1995, but was delayed to 1996 for hardware problems in the chipset.

==Peripherals==
*'''{{nw|Expansion Pak}}''' – a memory expansion that replaces the console's ''Jumper Pak'' found in the ''Memory Expansion'' port. It increases available memory from 4MB to 8MB and changes the internal resolution from 320×240 to 640×480 for games that can utilize it. The only Pokémon game that can utilize it fully is [[Pokémon Stadium 2]].
*'''[[Transfer Pak]]''' – an accessory that plugged into the controller and allowed the Nintendo 64 to transfer data between Game Boy and N64 games. [[Pokémon Stadium]] and Pokémon Stadium 2 are games that rely heavily on the Transfer Pak.
*''' [[Nintendo 64DD]]''' – a short lived expansion system for the Nintendo 64. Several Pokémon games that were announced for the N64DD were either canceled or released on cartridge format only.
*'''VRU ([[Voice Recognition Unit]])''' – This device is packed in and required to play [[Hey You, Pikachu!]].
*'''Rumble Pak''' – an optional plug in device that "shakes" the controller in enabled games. The only Pokémon related game that uses it is [[Super Smash Bros.]] The name was used again for the [[Nintendo DS]] accessory.

===''Pokémon the Series''===
===={{aniseries|DP}}====
The Snowpoint Gym appeared in ''[[DP127|Sliding Into Seventh!]]'', where {{Ash}} challenged Candice to a Gym battle for his seventh [[Sinnoh League]] Badge. In the battle, Ash used his {{AP|Grotle}}, {{AP|Staraptor}}, {{AP|Gliscor}}, and {{AP|Chimchar}}, even though the first three were weak against Candice's Ice Pokémon. Despite this, Ash was able to defeat Candice and earn himself the {{badge|Icicle}}.

After Ash defeated Candice, Paul showed up and challenged her, but she needed to reschedule the gym challenge because her Pokémon needed to rest.

According to Candice, because of the cold temperature and Northern location of Snowpoint City, trainers rarely visit the gym, giving her lots of free time.

===Pokémon Adventures===
===={{MangaArc|Diamond & Pearl}}====
The Snowpoint Gym appeared in ''[[PS387|Striking Out Snover]]'' and ''[[PS388|To and Fro with Froslass]]'', where {{adv|Platinum}} entered the Gym in order to tell Candice about her plan of going to [[Lake Acuity]] to stop [[Team Galactic]] from capturing {{DL|Lake guardians (Adventures)|Uxie}}. However, it turned out that she was forced to clear the Gym before she could meet Candice. After quickly plowing through the Gym puzzle and Gym Trainers, Platinum reached Candice and started a Gym battle with her. Wanting to get to Lake Acuity as soon as possible, Platinum intended to finish the battle quickly.

As Platinum had recently parted ways with {{adv|Diamond}} and {{adv|Pearl}} in order for each of them to protect one of the {{adv|lake guardians}}, she was still lacking some of her own self-confidence, which she had previously received from her friends. Thankfully, due to Candice scolding her of her half-baked efforts, Platinum was able to make herself use her boldest strategies and beat Candice, earning her her seventh Badge. After the battle, Candice told Platinum how she had been contacted by [[Byron]] about the Team Galactic crisis, and agreed to come help Platinum and [[Maylene]] fight the [[villainous team]] at Lake Acuity.

The Gym is also inhabited by numerous {{pkmn2|wild}} Ice-type Pokémon, {{p|Mamoswine|one of which}} was caught by Platinum after the Gym battle and [[PS411|later]] given to Diamond.

Just before she could claim victory, however, she was defeated by Rapidash, who had been fully restored by Lopunny's {{m|Healing Wish}}, winning Platinum the battle. After the Gym battle, she was taken to [[Lake Acuity]] where she was defeated by [[Jupiter]]. Later, at the Spear Pillar, Candice gave her to Platinum.}}

==Trivia==
* Snowpoint Gym is one of three {{type|Ice}} Gyms that are in the seventh in their respective regions. The other two are the [[Mahogany Gym]] in [[Johto]] and [[Icirrus Gym]] in [[Unova]].
** Both of these Gym's Badges share their name with Snowpoint Gym's Badge in different languages.
* Due to an oversight in Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl, it is possible to [[List of glitches in Generation VIII#Softlocking|softlock]] oneself, as the puzzle was never designed for diagonal movement.
** The player can also exploit diagonal movement to climb the slopes, and eventually reach Candice without battling other Trainers in the Gym.

==Blurb==

Ash has reached the Pastoria City Gym, but there's no Gym battling today—the Gym Leader, Crasher Wake, is off to the Pastoria Great Marsh. He invites Ash and the gang to join him, and our heroes are spooked to see lots of Croagunk emerging from the marsh grass. Every household in Pastoria City has a Croagunk and today is the annual Croagunk Festival! Last year's festival honors went to Craig, a Croagunk owned by Hamilton. Hamilton wants Craig to marry Chrissy, Nurse Joy's Croagunk, but Chrissy isn't interested. Hearing this, Brock enters the Croagunk Festival, hoping his Croagunk will win the crown and save Chrissy from an unwanted union.

Out in the marsh, James reminisces about meeting his Carnivine while Jessie and Meowth plan to enter the Croagunk Festival with Meowth in a Croagunk costume! Meowth even excels in the first round of the Festival, a Croagunk beauty contest that leaves Dawn at a loss to tell all those Croagunk apart. The next round is a brick-breaking competition; Brock's Croagunk aces the round, but Meowth ends up with nothing more than an aching paw to show for it. So now it's Brock's Croagunk and Hamilton's Craig in the final championship battle!

The title bout is interrupted by Team Rocket's giant Croagunk Robot, which steals the Crown and both battling Croagunk. Crasher Wake left his Poké Balls at the Gym, so he calls on all the other Croagunk to stop Team Rocket. Nurse Joy and Chrissy lead the charge with Chrissy's Vacuum Wave attack, and with a little help from Ash and Pikachu, Team Rocket is put down for the count. Chrissy's show of bravery earns her the Croagunk Festival crown, and everyone celebrates by singing and dancing into the night. But come the next morning, Ash will have to face Crasher Wake at the Pastoria Gym!

==Plot==
{{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} arrive at [[Pastoria City]] and run into [[Crasher Wake]]. He introduces himself and Ash immediately challenges him to a [[Gym]] {{pkmn|battle}}. Crasher Wake says he has some business to attend to and asks Ash and his friends if they would like to accompany him; they agree.

They hurry to catch the tram that takes them through the [[Great Marsh]]. When they arrive, Crasher Wake rushes ahead and they arrive at an open field at sunset. They're startled by glowing eyes in the bushes, which turn out to be a bunch of wild {{p|Croagunk}}. Ash and Dawn mistake one of the Croagunk for Brock's, who proves this one isn't his own by taking out it's Poke Ball. Then, they follow a bunch of Croagunk Trainers to a giant {{p|Croagunk}} Temple. They meet up with Crasher Wake again, who informs them of the [[Pastoria Croagunk Festival]] and the ancient tradition of battling {{p|Croagunk}}, with the leader becoming Champion of the Great Marsh.

{{an|Brock}} intrudes in an argument between [[Nurse Joy]] and [[Hamilton]], a brown-haired (turquoise-haired in the first airing of the episode in Japan) male whose Croagunk, Craig, won last year's Croagunk Championship. Brock goes crazy for Nurse Joy, proposing a marriage of their Croagunk, only to be Poison Jabbed by his own Croagunk and dragged off-screen.

Meanwhile, {{TRT}} arrives at the Great Marsh. [[James]] recalls his childhood, during which he first met and rescued his {{TP|James|Carnivine}}, who was trapped in the Great Marsh mud.

Ash and his friends enjoy the evening festival, eating Croagunk cookies and watching Croagunk-shaped fireworks. Crasher Wake referees the event and introduces Hamilton, the defending Champion. Crasher Wake, the operator of the rail system, and Nurse Joy judge the competition. All of the Croagunk contestants take turns coming on stage, crouching then croaking, apparently comparing their looks and physical condition. The judges and local crowd are excited by their different aspects, but Ash and Dawn are confused; as far as they can see, the Croagunk all look exactly the same. Brock's Croagunk takes the stage and the judges are impressed by Croagunk's looks.

Team Rocket dresses {{MTR}} up in a Croagunk costume and sends him out on stage. Meowth is thoroughly embarrassed, but the crowd and judges go wild for it. Hamilton is unimpressed.

Crasher Wake announces the brick-breaking contest. Brock's Croagunk uses {{m|Brick Break}} and breaks all of the bricks. Meowth takes the stage next, to high anticipation. He charges up and attacks the bricks, but since he can't learn Brick Break, the only thing he breaks is his paw. Crasher Wake announces a championship battle between Brock's Croagunk and Craig. They take to the boxing ring and begin the match. Craig uses {{m|Cross Chop}}. The dueling Croagunk trade jabs and {{an|Dawn}} has trouble figuring which one is which.

Out of nowhere, Team Rocket storms the festival in a giant Croagunk robot. Its tongue steals the prized crown. Craig and Brock's Croagunk attack the robot, but are trapped by the tongue. Ash commands Pikachu to use {{m|Thunderbolt}}, but Dawn stops it, telling Ash that this would only hurt the Croagunk. Crasher Wake steps in to help, but suddenly remembers that he left all his Poké Balls at the Gym. Everyone else's Croagunk attack the giant robot, but they're scooped into its belly. Chrissy heavily damages the robot, followed by Pikachu finally using Thunderbolt.

Crasher Wake retrieves the crown and asks the crowd if they agree that Nurse Joy's Croagunk won this year's championship, which they do. Afterwards, Crasher Wake tells Ash that he was impressed by Pikachu's {{m|Thunderbolt}} and accepts his challenge for a Gym Battle, but it'll have to be held the next day as there's still plenty of partying to do. And so, with Ash's fourth Sinnoh Gym Battle on the horizon, everyone finishes out the traditional Croagunk Festival evening with dancing.

* [[Jessie's Wobbuffet]] doesn't appear in this episode.
* Details of this episode were made known in [[K-Zone]], a children's magazine, before any official Japanese episode listing.
* [[Pokémon Ondo]] and music from ''[[PK11|Camp Pikachu]]'' are used as background music.
* The dance scene at the end of the episode, when [[Pokémon Ondo]] can be heard, is a traditional Japanese {{wp|Obon|Bon odori}} festival dance.
* The diamond and pearl on the crown are references to {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}.
* The segment where {{an|Brock}} fantasizes about marrying [[Nurse Joy]] and his {{TP|Brock|Croagunk}} marrying hers echoes that of a similar fantasy he had in ''[[EP165|Hassle in the Castle]]'' where he dreamed of marrying [[Dr. Anna|a woman]] while his {{TP|Brock|Zubat|Crobat}} married her female Pokémon of the same species. Coincidentally, both Croagunk and Zubat (now Crobat) are Brock's only {{t|Poison}} types.
* During the {{m|Brick Break}} contest, only [[Brock's Croagunk]]'s hands glow white.
* The English dub title refers to the phrase "the cream of the crop".
* Hamilton's hair, eyes, eyebrows, and face shape were changed sometime after the character was first seen, and he no longer has sunglasses; his own Japanese name as well as Craig's were also changed. As a result, several scenes needed to be completely reanimated and Yuriko Yamaguchi, [[Yōko Sōmi]], and [[Tetsu Inada]] (the respective voices of [[Nurse Joy]], [[Hamilton]], and [[Crasher Wake]]) had to re-record a few lines due to the name changes. The changes were presumably made by the Japanese producers to avoid lawsuits from the makers of {{wp|Dokonjō Gaeru}}—Hamilton and his Croagunk (in Japanese, Hiroki and Gurekichi) were meant to be a direct [[List of references to popular culture in Pokémon|parody]] of the main characters of that series, Hiroshi and Pyonkichi.
* This is the first episode in which two voice actors return to the series - [[David Brimmer]] and [[Jason Griffith]].

===Errors===
* In the official dub numbering (as seen on Pokémon.com), this episode precedes ''[[DP071|Pokémon Ranger and the Kidnapped Riolu! (Part 1)]]'' and ''[[DP072|Pokémon Ranger and the Kidnapped Riolu! (Part 2)]]''. However, this episode premiered on Cartoon Network after these two episodes, in more logical order. All repeats of the dub, both in the United States and worldwide, follow the official dub order.

===Dub edits===
* In the English dub, {{Ash}} offers a {{p|Croagunk}} pie to {{an|Dawn}}. In the original Japanese version, he offers her fried Croagunk or a Croagunk-shaped cake.
* While blasting off in the original Japanese version, {{TRT}} makes several Croagunk puns. In the English dub, [[Jessie]] only makes a Croagunk alliteration.

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

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Riolu}} when [[friendship Evolution|leveled up with high friendship]] during the [[Time-based Evolution|day]].

Lucario can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into two different forms:
* '''Mega Lucario''' using the [[Lucarionite]].
* '''Mega Lucario Z''' using the [[Lucarionite Z]].

Mega Lucario Z was introduced in the [[Mega Dimension]] [[Downloadable content|DLC]] for {{g|Legends: Z-A}}.

==Biology==
Lucario is a bipedal, canine-like {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with predominantly blue and black fur. It possesses a short, round spike on the back of each forepaw, in addition to a third on its chest. It has red eyes, a long snout, and ears. When its mouth is open, two pairs of pointed teeth, one in the upper jaw and one in the lower, can be seen. It possesses cream-colored fur on its torso and blue fur on its thighs that resemble shorts. It has a medium-length tail of the same blue color as well. [[wp:Digitigrade|It stands on its toes rather than on its entire foot.]] Lucario has four black appendages that hang down from its head, which rise when it reads or manipulates [[aura]], a special energy that it senses.

Lucario can study auras to predict the movements of its opponents and track their quarry. With sufficient training, it can read auras to understand how living beings are feeling from more than half a mile (1 kilometer) away. It can even use this ability to sense invisible foes. However, it sometimes ends up learning information that it would not like to know, causing it to get stressed out easily. It also has the power to manipulate this energy in an offensive manner, such as in the form of {{m|Aura Sphere|explosive spheres of energy}}. Lucario can understand human speech and has been reported to communicate with humans through telepathy. In [[Pokémon Adventures]], it was even shown to be able to stop its allies from an {{p|Aegislash}}'s mind control using its aura.<ref>[[PS555|The Aegislash Agenda]]</ref> As shown in {{aniseries|HZ}} with [[Roy]]'s {{TP|Roy|Lucario}}, a {{Shiny}} Lucario emits yellow aura as opposed to the standard blue-colored aura emitted by other creatures. Despite its fierce personality, Lucario is considered to be prideful and is extremely loyal to its {{pkmn|Trainer}}. It also seems to have a natural sense of justice, as it only trusts Trainers with righteous hearts. It is an exceptionally rare Pokémon that usually lives deep in mountains very far from people to improve their skills. Lucario are primarily carnivores, hunting their prey in packs, though {{OBP|Lucario|M08|one}} was seen eating {{Berries}} and plants like roses. It has also been seen eating chocolate, which is not part of its natural diet due to its species. In ''[[Pokémon the Series]]'', it is shown that Lucario can create a {{m|Bone Rush|staff in the form of a bone}} to use in {{pkmn|battle}}. As mentioned in the [[Pokemon Sleep]], Lucario never lowers its guard, even when sleeping. It is believed that it reads the auras of others while asleep similarly to when it is awake.<ref>[[Sleep style|Sleep Style Dex]]</ref>

===Forms===
Lucario can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into Mega Lucario or Mega Lucario Z.

====Mega Lucario====
As Mega Lucario, its blue fur becomes teal blue, its cream fur becomes longer, and its thighs slim down. Mega Lucario's arms appear more muscular and it develops more spikes on the back of its paws, which have turned deep crimson. It also develops spikes on both of its feet, which have become crimson too. Its previously red eyes take on an orange tint. Its aura-sensing appendages grow longer, and two of them are tipped in crimson. Its shoulders also possess a spike each. Black markings appear all over its its body.

Mega Lucario is believed to be the first discovered Mega-Evolved Pokémon. A legend told at the [[Tower of Mastery]] claims that a Trainer and a Lucario found the first [[Mega Stone|Mega]] and [[Key Stone|Key Stones]] and unleashed the world's first Mega Evolution. After the discovery of Mega {{p|Rayquaza}} in the [[Hoenn]] [[region]], Mega Lucario was instead believed to be the first Pokémon to Mega Evolve in [[Kalos]]. Its aura heightens throughout its body and forms black markings across its blue fur along with the intermingled energy of Mega Evolution.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20160219212327/http://www.pokemonxy.com/en-us/pokemon/mega_pokemon/#Mega%20Lucario Mega Lucario | Pokémon X and Pokémon Y] ([https://web.archive.org/web/20160219212327/http://www.pokemonxy.com/en-us/pokemon/mega_pokemon/#Mega%20Lucario archived])</ref> Mega Lucario readies itself to face its enemies by focusing its mental energies. Its fighting style has been described as aggressive and heartless due to it being bathed in the explosive energy of Mega Evolution, which awakens its combative instincts and causes it to mercilessly attack its opponents. As revealed in [[HZ132]], Mega Lucario tends to focus its Aura powers into a single powerful point in order to strike its opponents hard each time it attacks.

====Mega Lucario Z====
As Mega Lucario Z, parts of its body — namely its head, ears, arms, thighs, and tail — turn a dark gunmetal gray, while its forearms and legs turn completely teal. Its eyes turn bright blue with thick black outlines around them, and its face is decorated with an elaborate, silver pattern consisting of circles and crescent shapes. This silver pattern circles the back of Mega Lucario Z's head and extends halfway into its head appendages, which are clumped into two instead of being separated as four. These appendages grow out to reach Mega Lucario Z's knees, and have zig-zag seams on their sides and zig-zag tips at their ends. Two long strands of blue hair with zig-zag tips extend from behind Mega Lucario Z's head and over its ears, which have silver crescent patterns on them. The cream fur on Mega Lucario Z's torso is longer but flares to its right side at the bottom, unlike on Mega Lucario where it forms its tail. Mega Lucario Z's tail is split into two at the tip, and more silver stripes circle around its waist and thighs. Finally, the chest protrusion on Mega Lucario Z is round and shield-like with an S-shaped seam instead of pointy; similar round metal protrusions occur on Mega Lucario Z's hands, shins, and feet.

Mega Lucario Z's powers are said to greatly surpass those of a regular Lucario.<ref>[https://www.pokemon.co.jp/ex/legends_z-a_dlc/ja/pokemon/251202_01/ メガルカリオＺ｜『Pokémon LEGENDS Z-A M次元ラッシュ』公式サイト (Mega Lucario Z | "Pokémon LEGENDS Z-A M-Dimension Rush" Official Website)]</ref> It is named as such to differentiate it from the previously discovered Mega Lucario. It uses the longer fur surrounding its head and waist, along with its fan-shaped tail, to visually disorient opponents in close combat. This makes it difficult for them to see its aggressive movements. Additionally, parts of its fur have been hardened with steel energy. By focusing its strength into these hardened areas—specifically the back of its hands and shins—it can deliver powerful blows despite its appearance. It can utilize its powerful aura in various ways, such as extending it into a thin shield or concentrating it into specific parts of its body, like its legs or fists, to enhance its attacks. While Mega Lucario channels its aura into a destructive force, Mega Lucario Z uses it in a more defensive manner by cloaking itself in it to increase its defense, flexibility, and agility,<ref>[https://legends.pokemon.com/en-us/news/mega_lucario_z A New Mega-Evolved Pokémon Is Here | Pokémon Legends: Z-A]</ref> allowing it to parry any attack. In doing so, it battles as if it was gracefully dancing. As shown in [[HZ132]], Mega Lucario Z can move so fast and swiftly that it appears to vanish in the midst of battle, overpowering opponents with its free flowing fighting style and sheer speed.

===NPC appearances===
====In the core series====
*These notable Trainers all use a Lucario:
** [[Maylene]]'s main partner is a {{TP|Maylene|Lucario}} who first debuted in {{g|Diamond and Pearl}}. It returns in {{g|Platinum}}, [[Pokémon Black 2 and White 2|Black 2, White 2]], [[Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl|Brilliant Diamond, and Shining Pearl]].
** [[Riley]] owns a {{TP|Riley|Lucario}} in Diamond, Pearl, Platinum, Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl.
** [[Cynthia]] also uses a Lucario who debuted in {{g|Diamond and Pearl}}. It returns in {{g|Platinum}}, [[Pokémon Black and White|Black , White]], [[Pokémon Black 2 and White 2|Black 2, White 2]], [[Pokémon Sun and Moon|Sun, Moon]], [[Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Ultra Sun, Ultra Moon]], [[Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl|Brilliant Diamond, and Shining Pearl]]. It may also appear in [[Alola]]'s [[Battle Tree]] where it can [[Mega Evolve]].
** [[Bruno]] uses a Lucario upon rematch in {{g|HeartGold and SoulSilver}}.
** In addition to his first fight in Challenge Mode, [[Marshal]] uses a Lucario in rematches in Black 2 and White 2.
** During the [[Type Expert Tournament|Type Expert]] and [[World Leaders Tournament]], [[Jasmine]] uses a Lucario in Black 2 and White 2.
** [[Korrina]] is often affiliated with a {{TP|Korrina|Lucario}} throughout {{g|X and Y}}. Owning two with multiple battles, one is eventually gifted to the player while the other is fought atop the [[Tower of Mastery]] where it can [[Mega Evolve]]. This Lucario reappears in the [[Battle Chateau]]. Korrina and her Lucario reappear in {{g|Legends: Z-A}}'s in [[Mega Dimension]], where it can be fought and serves as an ally in [[Rogue Mega Evolution]] battles. It can Mega Evolve into Mega Lucario Z.
*** [[AZ]]'s Lucario, the one lent to the player to aid in the Rogue Mega Absol battle, is eventually revealed to have been Korrina's as well, and it even retains her [[Trainer ID number|Trainer ID]]. It ultimately ends up being gifted to the player after the main story's completion of {{g|Legends: Z-A}}.
** [[Anabel]] uses a Lucario only in [[Alola]]'s [[Battle Tree]] alongside the rest of her original [[Pokémon Emerald Version|Pokémon Emerald]] roster.
** [[Rye]] of the [[Galaxy Team]] uses a Lucario in [[Request|Request 88: Steely Lucario]] of {{g|Legends: Arceus}}.
** [[Eri]] uses a Lucario in all matches against the player in {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}.
** [[Emma]] uses a Lucario in {{g|Legends: Z-A}} during her second story battle and in all subsequent rematches.
*** Emma also appears next to a Mega Evolved Lucario on {{g|Legends: Z-A}}'s box art, though it is unclear on whether or not it is in reference to her in-game Lucario as it does not Mega Evolve in any of her battles until after defeating Mega Darkrai in Mega Dimension.

====In the spin-off games====
* {{g|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, [[Team A.C.T.|Alakazam]] tells the player that his goal is to become closer to Lucario's greatness. Earning 15000 Rescue Points will put the player in the top [[Rank (Mystery Dungeon)|Rescue Rank]]—Lucario Rank—at which point the Lucario Statue will be displayed outside the [[Team Base]].
* {{g|Ranger: Shadows of Almia}}: Lucario is the guardian of the {{DL|The King of Almia and the Three Princes|Blue Gem}}.
* [[Korrina's Lucario]] appears as an opponent in {{g|Unite}}.

===Origin===
Lucario's appearance is akin to that of an anthropomorphic {{wp|Canidae|canid}} of no discernible kind. The markings on Lucario's face resemble the cloth eye masks worn by classic heroes in popular culture (such as Zorro), and also evoke the appearance of a {{wp|muzzle (mouth guard)|muzzle}}. Additionally, together with the four appendages on its head, the overall shape may suggest inspiration from a {{wp|khakkhara}}, which in popular depictions responds to spiritual energies much like Lucario’s appendages react when it senses aura.

Lucario may draw inspiration from the {{wp|Japanese wolf}}, which once inhabited the islands of Kyushu, Shikoku, and Honshu and was regarded in Shinto belief as a protective spirit associated with mountain deities, sometimes even worshiped as a deity itself. Notably, this wolf species may have inspired certain folkloric beings such as the Okuri-Ōkami (“sending/scouting wolf”)<ref>[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Okuri-inu#Characteristics Okuri-Ōkami]</ref> and the [[wikipedia:ja:真神|Ōkuchi-no-Magami]], a wolf deity which was believed to understand human speech, discern a person’s true nature, and uphold a sense of justice—traits that align with some of Lucario’s Pokédex descriptions. Moreover, in Hokkaido—the region that inspired the Sinnoh region—the {{wp|Hokkaido wolf}} was venerated by the Indigenous Ainu people as the deity Horkew Kamuy (“howling god”).

Due to its mystical nature, Lucario may be based on the hybrid portrayal of the Egyptian god {{wp|Anubis}} (speculated to be a {{wp|Canis aureus|Golden jackal}} or {{wp|Canis lupaster lupaster|African wolf}}). Anubis's role in {{wp|Egyptian mythology}} was to judge souls based on their purity, which loosely resembles Lucario's ability to see a life form's aura. Lucario using a {{m|Bone Rush|bone staff}} in combat may also reference the {{wp|Was-sceptre|''Was''-sceptre}} often seen in depictions of Anubis; this seems to also be referenced with Mega Lucario Z's tail shape. Mega Lucario Z's tail resembles the {{wp|Medjed_(fish)|medjed fish}}, a kind of elephantfish worshiped at Oxyrhynchus in ancient Egyptian religion.

The concept of [[aura]] associated with Lucario seems to closely resemble vital energies such as {{wp|qi}} or {{wp|chakra}}. Lucario's {{t|Fighting}} type likely comes from the fact qi is conceptually present in {{wp|Qi#Martial_arts|many East Asian martial arts}} as {{wp|neijin}} or similar ideas. Lucario's use of a staff may hint at a {{wp|bōjutsu}} practitioner, while the shorts-like fur on its legs may reference the clothing used in {{wp|boxing}}, {{wp|Muay Thai}}, or {{wp|mixed martial art}}s. Given the possible connection with ancient Egypt through Anubis, Lucario could also be based on an {{wp|Boxing#Ancient_history|Ancient Egyptian boxer}}.

====Name origin====
Lucario may be derived from the reverse of the Japanese transcription of ''{{wp|orichalcum}}'' (a mythical metal) or ''{{wp|oracle}}'' (referring to its supernatural abilities involving [[aura]]). It may also involve λύκος ''lúkos'' (Greek for wolf), and possibly ''luchar'' (Spanish for ''to fight'').

'''Incineroar''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ガオガエン''' ''Gaogaen'') is a dual-type {{2t|Fire|Dark}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation VII]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Torracat}} starting at [[level]] 34. It is the final form of {{p|Litten}}.

==Biology==
[[File:Incineroar SM concept art.jpg|thumb|250px|left|Concept art of Incineroar for {{g|Sun and Moon}}]]
Incineroar is a {{wp|humanoid}} {{wp|feline}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with a muscular build. It has a short snout with a small red nose, bright green eyes with yellow sclerae, and tiny, pointed ears. Large tufts of red fur extend from its cheeks, and much of its face is also red. The upper half of its muzzle and the top and back of its head are black. A thin red stripe runs vertically along its head to its snout, where it splits into a V-shape over its eyes. Its torso is gray with several black stripes and seems to resemble a wrestler's tank top; the front and back both have a single vertical stripe up the center, crossed by two horizontal lines. Around Incineroar's waist is a belt formed from flames that somewhat resembles a championship wrestling belt. In the front center is a small, yellow flame shape. The arms, legs, and tail are all red with black stripes forming bands around them. The arms have three stripes, spiky tufts of black fur over the shoulders, and large five-fingered hands with white claws and a single light red pad on the palm. Its legs have only two stripes and simple three-toed paws, and the tail has one stripe and a tuft of spiky black fur around the tip.

Incineroar's flame belt is produced from within its body and bursts from its navel and waist as its fighting spirit rises. In addition to spewing fire from its navel, it uses ferocious kicks and punches. Incineroar is an expert on no-holds-barred battles. The flames from its navel can reach a temperature of up to 3,600 degrees Fahrenheit. This Pokémon disregards the safety of its opponents and on-lookers, sometimes striking the opposing Trainer with attacks. Incineroar usually attacks first by unleashing both ferocious punches and flinging furious kick combos and then finishing the opponent by spewing fire from its navel. It is a violent Pokémon with rough, aggressive, and egotistical behavior. It will sometimes ignore its Trainer's orders when it is not in the mood to listen. Despite this, it finds fighting unworthy opponents boring and gets motivated to fight a challenging one. Weak or injured opponents also cause them to lose the desire to fight, which others sometimes use to their advantage.

It also values the attention of the crowd as Incineroar's spirit goes up while the crowd is excited or falters when the crowd is bored. When Incineroar's fighting spirit rises, so does the temperature around its navel waist. While it tends to act like a {{wp|heel (professional wrestling)|heel}}, Incineroar is very happy internally when receiving the admiration of children or young Pokémon.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20170718173730/http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon/incineroar/ Pokémon Sun and Moon site (archived page) | Incineroar]</ref> It is also willing to help out children and small Pokémon, further showing its hidden soft side.

In [[Generation VII]], {{m|Darkest Lariat}} was its signature move.

Incineroar is the [[signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of using the [[Z-Move]] {{m|Malicious Moonsault}}.

===Evolution===
Incineroar evolves from {{p|Torracat}} and is the final form of {{p|Litten}}.

==Trivia==
* Official confidential art featuring {{p|Decidueye}}, Incineroar, {{p|Primarina}}, and [[Mallow]] was leaked on the Internet on June 4, 2016. This leak happened 145 days before these Pokémon were officially revealed on October 27, 2016.<ref name="leakedart">[http://66.media.tumblr.com/0250e03bd66ab9ca99dc62e78ecf5d7b/tumblr_o8adnyxaSF1qhkgqso1_540.jpg Official confidential art of Decidueye, Incineroar, and Primarina | Game Freak]</ref> From the leaked material, it is known that Incineroar's code name was "トラ 3", or "Tiger 3" during development.
* Incineroar is the only evolved form of a [[first partner Pokémon]] to have a lower [[base stats|base stat]] than its pre-evolved forms. Its base {{stat|Speed}} stat is 30 points lower than {{p|Torracat}}'s and 10 points lower than {{p|Litten}}'s.

===Origin===
Incineroar is based on a {{wp|tiger}}.<ref name=leakedart/> It also shares elements with a {{wp|professional wrestling|professional wrestler}}. In addition, its [[Pokémon category|category]] and secondary {{t|Dark}} type bring to mind a {{wp|Heel (professional wrestling)|heel}}, a wrestler who embodies {{wp|vice}}, in contrast to a {{wp|Face (professional wrestling)|face}}, who embodies {{wp|virtue}}. It also has traits of {{wp|domestic cat}}s. Its shiny form maybe based on a {{wp|white tiger}}.

====Name origin====
Incineroar is a combination of ''incinerate'' and ''roar''.

Gaogaen may be a combination of ガオー ''gao'' (the sound of a roar) and 火炎 ''kaen'' (flame).

'''Pichu''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ピチュー''' ''Pichu'') is an {{type|Electric}} [[baby Pokémon]] introduced in [[Generation II]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Pikachu}} when [[friendship Evolution|leveled up with high friendship]], which evolves into {{p|Raichu}} when exposed to a [[Thunder Stone]].

Pichu has an alternate [[#Form data|form]] called '''[[Spiky-eared Pichu]]''' that is exclusive to {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, also making appearances in ''[[Pokémon the Series]]'' and the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga.

A special Pichu called '''[[Ukulele Pichu]]''' is the player's first {{OBP|Partner Pokémon|Ranger}} in {{g|Ranger: Guardian Signs}}.

==Biology==
Pichu is a small, ground-dwelling {{wp|rodent}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with pale yellow fur. Its ear-tips, collar, and tail are black and angular. Pichu's pink cheek pouches can store small amounts of electricity, and its tiny nose looks like a dot. Pichu is classified as a quadruped, but it can walk easily on its hind legs.

Pichu is not yet skilled at storing electricity in its youth, so it may accidentally release a jolt if it's amused or startled, though it gets better at this as it grows older. The electric pouches on its cheeks are small, so they cannot store much electricity, and it shocks itself even if a little bit of energy leaks out. However, the electricity is still strong enough to zap [[human]] adults despite Pichu's small size, but it also surprises itself in doing so. Pichu can more easily charge itself with electricity in the presence of thunderclouds or dry air, so one can hear static electricity crackling coming off it. When it plays with others of its kind, they may end up shorting out electricity and releasing sparks that startle them and make them cry. However, they also do this intentionally by touching tails to build up courage. Though same find Pichu to be cute, those who want to live with it must prepare themselves for its electric jolts. Its liveliness is tied to how much electricity it stored in its cheek sacs, so it plays very energetically when they're fully charged. Pichu primarily lives in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Forest Pokémon|forests}}, though it has also [[PK07|been depicted]] to thrive in urban areas. As mentioned in {{g|Sleep}}, it is known to discharge uncontrollable electricity while sleeping due to its inability to store electricity properly. The crackling sound of static electricity can be heard while it sleeps.<ref>[[Sleep style|Sleep Style Dex]]</ref> Pichu, along with {{p|Pikachu}} and {{p|Raichu}}, is related to {{p|Pachirisu}}.

Pichu and its [[Evolution|evolved]] forms are the [[signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the [[move]] {{m|Volt Tackle}}.

===Forms===
Pichu has an alternate form called [[Spiky-eared Pichu]]. It is [[Gender|female]]-only, cannot evolve, and has three spikes on the tip of its ear, but is otherwise the same as any other Pichu.

===Form data===
====Spiky-eared Pichu====
[[Spiky-eared Pichu]] is a unique form of Pichu exclusive to {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}. It is a [[Gender|female]] Pichu that has a tuft of hair on the end of its left ear. It cannot [[Evolution|evolve]], and its [[Pokéathlon]] [[performance]] stats differ from those of a normal Pichu.

Spiky-eared Pichu is obtained by activating [[List of event Pokémon with in-game effects#Pichu|an in-game event]] in [[Ilex Forest]]. This is the only way to obtain Spiky-eared Pichu, and it cannot be traded, so only one can be obtained per game. It also cannot be [[transfer]]red to the [[Generation V]] games.

* In [[Pokémon Adventures]], {{adv|Yellow}} was the one who gave Pichu its species name, creating it as a combination of the name of [[Pibu]]'s parents, [[Pika]] and [[Chuchu]].
* Throughout the [[Florio Nature Park]] in [[New Pokémon Snap]], Pichu is often shown playing around with {{p|Grookey}}, hinting that they are friends.

===Concept and development===
Pichu was designed by [[Ken Sugimori]].<ref name=IGN>Harris, Craig (February 24, 2009). "[https://www.ign.com/articles/2009/02/23/pokemon-creators-on-platinum Pokemon Creators on Platinum]." ''IGN''.</ref>

===Origin===
Pichu seems to draw inspiration from {{wp|squirrel}}s and various other {{wp|rodent}}s. Additionally, according to Junichi Masuda, Ken Sugimori came up with the idea for Pichu when [[Game Freak]] staff were trying to figure out a Pokémon to be the "next" Pikachu.<ref name=IGN /> Its {{Shiny}} variation is inspired by Pikachu's standard coloration, hence why it's called "[[List of event Pokémon with in-game effects#Pichu|Pikachu-colored Pichu]]".

====Name origin====
Pichu may be a combination of ピカピカ ''pikapika'' (onomatopoeia for sparkling), チューチュー ''chūchū'' (onomatopoeia for the squeak of a mouse), and possibly プチ ''puchi'' (petite), as well as being a contraction of ''{{p|Pikachu}}''.

Dogleader: It may be a big Crossover series, but the note about Super Smash Bros. still has nothing to do with Bulbasaur's history.

'''Bulbasaur''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''フシギダネ''' ''Fushigidane'') is a dual-type {{2t|Grass|Poison}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation I]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Ivysaur}} starting at [[level]] 16, which evolves into {{p|Venusaur}} starting at level 32.

Along with {{p|Charmander}} and {{p|Squirtle}}, Bulbasaur is one of the three [[Kanto first partner Pokémon|first partner Pokémon of Kanto]] available at the beginning of [[Pokémon Red and Green Versions|Pokémon Red, Green]], [[Pokémon Red and Blue Versions|Blue]], [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions|FireRed, and LeafGreen]].

==Biology==
[[File:Art Life 20230116 Bulbasaur.jpg|thumb|left|220px|Bulbasaur using its vines to climb a tree]]
Bulbasaur is a small, quadrupedal {{wp|amphibian}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that has blue-green skin with darker patches. It has red eyes with white pupils, pointed, ear-like structures on top of its head, and a short, blunt snout with a wide mouth. Small, pointed teeth are visible in the upper jaw when the mouth is open. Each of its thick legs ends with three sharp claws. On Bulbasaur's back is a green plant bulb that conceals two slender, tentacle-like vines, which grow from a seed planted there at birth. The bulb also provides it with energy through photosynthesis and from the nutrient-rich seeds contained within.

Bulbasaur is sometimes seen seen napping in bright sunlight and can survive for days without eating. It is found in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Grassland Pokémon|grasslands}} and forests throughout the [[Kanto]] [[region]]. However, due to its status as a [[first partner Pokémon]], it is hard to come by in the wild and is generally found under the ownership of a Trainer. It has been recently seen living in the [[Terarium]] of [[Blueberry Academy]]. First partner Pokémon such as Bulbasaur are raised by {{tc|Pokémon Breeder}}s to be distributed to new {{pkmn|Trainer}}s.<ref>''[[AG025|A Mudkip Mission]]''</ref> Having been raised by [[human]]s from birth, it is regarded as both a rare and well-behaved Pokémon. It is known to be extremely loyal, even after long-term abandonment.<ref>''[[EP102|The Mystery Menace]]''</ref> Bulbasaur has demonstrated a nurturing instinct towards younger, weaker Pokémon, such as using its vines to pick up a crying Pokémon and gently rocking it back and forth through the air while singing a "Bulba-by".<ref>''[[PK01|Pikachu's Vacation]]''</ref> Its bulb will flash blue when it is ready to [[Evolution|evolve]], but if it does not want to, it struggles to resist the transformation. Many Bulbasaur gather every year in a hidden garden in Kanto to evolve into {{p|Ivysaur}} in a ceremony led by a {{p|Venusaur}}.<ref>''[[EP051|Bulbasaur's Mysterious Garden]]''</ref> Its vines are long and strong enough to allow Bulbasaur to grab the branches of trees and pull itself up to reach {{Berries}}.<ref>[[Bulbasaur (SWSH Promo 303)]]</ref> As mentioned in {{g|Sleep}}, Bulbasaur sits still and basks in sunny spots during its sleep, possibly trying to absorb nutrients from its seed to grow big.<ref>[[Sleep style|Sleep Style Dex]]</ref>

===Main series===
[[File:Ash Bulbasaur.png|thumb|250px|Bulbasaur in {{aniseries|JN}}]]
====Major appearances====
=====[[Ash's Bulbasaur]]=====
{{Ash}}'s Bulbasaur debuted in ''[[EP010|Bulbasaur and the Hidden Village]]'' as one of the Pokémon in the [[Hidden Village]], thus also marking the species' physical debut. Though initially wary of Ash, the two eventually warmed up to one another, and Bulbasaur challenged him to a {{pkmn|battle}}. Using {{AP|Pikachu}}, Ash won the battle, and Bulbasaur was {{pkmn2|caught}}. Unlike {{AP|Charmander}} and {{AP|Squirtle}}, which were caught in the two episodes following that of Bulbasaur, Bulbasaur remained in Ash's [[party]] for most of his {{pkmn|journey}} through [[Johto]] until ''[[EP225|Bulbasaur... the Ambassador!]]'', when Ash sent him to {{an|Professor Oak}}'s [[Professor Oak's Laboratory|lab]] to work as an ambassador between otherwise argumentative groups of Pokémon.

=====[[May's Bulbasaur]]=====
Much later on, while Ash was traveling in the [[Hoenn]] [[region]], {{an|May}} caught her own Bulbasaur after being separated from the group in ''[[AG073|Grass Hysteria!]]''. She remained with her throughout the rest of her journey in Hoenn, helping her to win the {{ci|Purika}} {{pkmn|Contest}} and place Top 8 in the [[Hoenn Grand Festival|regional]] [[Grand Festival]]. When she traveled to [[Kanto]] to continue her journey with Ash in ''[[AG133|The Right Place and the Right Mime]]'', May, too, left her Bulbasaur at [[Professor Oak's Laboratory]] to learn from Ash's while she, Ash, [[Max]], and {{an|Brock}} traveled throughout the Kanto region. May retrieved her during her travels in [[Johto]], where she evolved all the way into a {{p|Venusaur}}.

=====[[Shauna's Bulbasaur]]=====
{{an|Shauna}}'s first partner Pokémon is a Bulbasaur she received from {{an|Professor Sycamore}}. It first appeared in ''[[XY039|Summer of Discovery!]]'', and it was revealed to have evolved into Ivysaur by ''[[XY090|Tag Team Battle Inspiration!]]''

=====Other=====
In ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'', a Bulbasaur was cloned from Ash's own Bulbasaur. The cloned Bulbasaur participated in the battle between the original Pokémon and the cloned Pokémon. Bulbasaur reappeared in ''[[Mewtwo Returns]]''.

In ''[[EP102|The Mystery Menace]]'', a Bulbasaur was abandoned by the [[Mayor of Trovitopolis]] during his childhood when it wouldn't evolve into Ivysaur. Since then, it grew to a very large size in the sewers. Aided by {{an|Misty}} and {{Tracey}}, Ash found the abandoned Bulbasaur while searching for his own, which had been taken by the giant Bulbasaur. After defeating the arrogant mayor and his personal SWAT team, Ash and his friends left the Bulbasaur with [[Nurse Joy]].

In ''[[HS14|Journey to the Starting Line!]]'', {{OBP|Gilbert|HS14}} was supposed to start his journey as a [[Pokémon Trainer]] with one of the three Kanto [[first partner Pokémon]], but they were scared off by [[Ash's Tauros]], forcing Gilbert to set out to find them with {{an|Professor Oak}}, {{Tracey}}, and {{Delia}}. Bulbasaur was the last one to be found, having been stuck in a tree that was surrounded by a group of {{p|Primeape}}. In the end, Bulbasaur was chosen by Gilbert as his first partner Pokémon.

In ''[[JN003|Ivysaur's Mysterious Tower!]]'', multiple Bulbasaur and Ivysaur traveled to a {{OBP|Gym|GO}} that was under construction in [[Vermilion City]]. Ash and [[Goh]], who were investigating the outbreak, followed them to the Gym and realized the horde had gone there so the Bulbasaur could absorb the sunlight necessary to evolve into new Ivysaur.

====Brawl trophy information====
''"A Seed Pokémon. From birth, Bulbasaur carries a large plant seed on its back. It uses the nutrients from the seed to grow bigger and bigger.

{{-}}

==Trivia==
* In the Japanese {{game2|Red|Green|Blue}}, the international {{game|Red and Blue|s}}, and the Japanese {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, [[Professor Oak]] classifies Bulbasaur as the "plant Pokémon" (Japanese: しょくぶつポケモン) when the player is about to choose it as their [[first partner Pokémon]], using the term while referring to its {{t|Grass|type}}. In the English versions of {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, he calls it the "grass Pokémon".
** This also occurs in the [[PO01|first episode]] of [[Pokémon Origins]].
* Bulbasaur's evolutionary line is the only {{type|Poison}} Pokémon to be part of a first partner Pokémon family.
** Bulbasaur is also the only base form Starter Pokemon to be dual-typed, until {{p|Rowlet}} in [[Alola]]
* Bulbasaur shares its {{pkmn|category}} with its evolved forms and {{p|Sunkern}}. They are all known as the Seed Pokémon.
* Bulbasaur's number in the [[National Pokédex]] and the [[List of Pokémon by Fiore Browser number|Fiore Browser]] are the same: 001.
* Due to [[List of censored words in Generation V|the censor]] that prevents Pokémon with offensive [[nickname]]s being traded on the [[Global Trade System|GTS]], a Bulbasaur with an English name couldn't be traded on the GTS without a nickname in {{game|Black and White|s}}.
* In {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}, Bulbasaur is programmed to be able to learn {{m|Charm}} through {{pkmn|breeding}}, but no other Pokémon in the {{egg|Grass}} or {{egg2|Monster}}s can legitimately learn it to pass down as an [[Egg Move]] in those games. In [[Generation III]] and {{gen|IV}}, Bulbasaur can inherit the move from {{p|Shroomish}} by chain breeding. In [[Generation V]] onwards, Bulbasaur can inherit the move directly from {{p|Cottonee}}.
* In {{g|Sun and Moon}}, Bulbasaur could learn Vine Whip at level 7 instead of Leech Seed. This oversight was later fixed in {{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}}.
* According to the [[Trainer Race]] quiz minigame from [[PokéROM]], the word "strong" is a good adjective to describe Bulbasaur.

===Cultural impact===
[[File:Niue Dollar Pokémon.png|thumb|250px|right|$1 coins from {{wp|Niue}}]]
* {{wp|Niue}} released a one-dollar coin featuring Bulbasaur as part of a commemorative promotion for the Pokémon franchise, with Bulbasaur on one side and the nation's coat of arms on the other.
* While Bulbasaur is not considered to be part of the [[List of references to Pokémon in science|inspiration for the naming]] of ''{{wp|Bulbasaurus}}'', a genus of {{wp|dicynodont}}s, it has been noted that the similarities "may not be entirely coincidental".<ref>Sloat, Sarah. (February 1, 2017). "[https://www.inverse.com/article/27179-bulbasaurus-dicynodont-pokemon-dinosaur Scientists Who Discovered Bulbasaurus Didn’t Name It After a Pokémon]." ''Inverse''.</ref>

===Concept and development===
Bulbasaur was designed by [[Atsuko Nishida]].<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20211108083831/https://www.pokemon.com/us/pokemon-news/creator-profile-the-creators-of-pikachu/)</ref>

Bulbasaur is based on a {{wp|frog}}.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20101230153442/http://www.nintendo.co.jp/ds/interview/irbj/sp/index4.html Interview with Jun'ichi Masuda and Ken Sugimori about ''Pokémon Black and White Versions'' (archived - Japanese text)]</ref><ref name=CreatorsOfPikachu>[https://web.archive.org/web/20211108083831/https://www.pokemon.com/us/pokemon-news/creator-profile-the-creators-of-pikachu/ Creator Profile: The Creators of Pikachu - Pokémon.com] (archived)</ref> In particular, its short legs, stout appearance, and ear-like protrusions on its head make it resemble {{wp|Ceratophrys|horned frogs}}. According to [[Ken Sugimori]] and [[Atsuko Nishida]], the latter designed Bulbasaur working backward from Venusaur, meaning Bulbasaur was the last of its evolutionary line to have been designed and was also directly based on Venusaur.<ref name=CreatorsOfPikachu /> The bulb on its back resembles a {{wp|Lilium|lily}} or {{wp|onion}}.

====Name origin====
Bulbasaur is a combination of ''{{wp|bulb}}''<ref>(January 1999). [https://web.archive.org/web/19990221135156/http://www.gamefreak.co.jp/POKEMON/NEWS/NEWS.HTM GAME FREAK | POCKEMON JOURNAL] (archive)</ref><ref name=INSIDE>(February 27, 2016).

''4Gamer.net''</ref> (a rounded underground storage organ present in some plants) and ''{{wp|dinosaur}}''<ref name=4gamer/> or ''-saurus''<ref name=INSIDE/> (common suffix used in the names of extinct reptilian creatures, derived from the Ancient Greek word for {{wp|lizard}}). The name also sounds similar to the word ''bulbous''.

Fushigidane may be a combination of 不思議 ''fushigi'' (strange; mysterious) and 種 ''tane'' (seed), as well as a pun of the phrase 不思議だね ''Fushigi da ne?'' ("Isn't it strange?").

'''Cyndaquil''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ヒノアラシ''' ''Hinoarashi'') is a {{type|Fire}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation II]].

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

In [[Hisui]], it evolves into Quilava starting at level 17, which evolves into {{rf|Hisuian}} Typhlosion starting at level 36.

Along with {{p|Chikorita}} and {{p|Totodile}}, Cyndaquil is one of the three [[Johto first partner Pokémon|first partner Pokémon of Johto]] available at the beginning of {{game5|Gold|Silver|Crystal|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}.

Cyndaquil is also one of the three [[Hisui first partner Pokémon|first partner Pokémon of Hisui]] in {{g|Legends: Arceus}}, alongside {{p|Rowlet}} and {{p|Oshawott}}.

Cyndaquil is the only first partner Pokémon of Johto who isn't available at the start of {{g|Legends: Z-A}}, instead being replaced by {{p|Tepig}}.

==Biology==
[[File:Jimmy Cyndaquil.png|thumb|left|180px|Cyndaquil without its flames lit]]
Cyndaquil is a small, bipedal {{wp|mammal}}ian {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with bluish fur on top of its body and cream-colored fur on its underside. Its eyes are usually seen closed, and it has a long, thin snout. Its arms are short, but its legs are slightly more developed and have a single nail on each foot. On its back are four red circles that can erupt into flames. When the flames are burning, its back has the appearance of being covered in spines.

Cyndaquil is capable of defending itself using these flames, and the fire grows more powerful as it becomes angry or defensive. Cyndaquil's firepower is described as being tremendously powerful. However, if it is tired, the flames are not able to burn properly. It is timid by nature and often curls into a ball when threatened. Due to this, Cyndaquil prefers staying hunched over. Though rare in the wild, it can be found living on {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Grassland Pokémon|grasslands}}. It has been recently seen living in the [[Terarium]] of [[Blueberry Academy]]. As mentioned in {{g|Sleep}}, Cyndaquil is known to usually sleep curled up.<ref>[[Sleep style|Sleep Style Dex]]</ref> On rare occasions, it will spout flames from its back while sleeping.
{{left clear}}

===Evolution===
Cyndaquil evolves into {{p|Quilava}}, which evolves into {{p|Typhlosion}}.

In [[Hisui]], it evolves into Quilava, which evolves into {{rf|Hisuian}} Typhlosion.

=====[[Ash's Cyndaquil]]=====
{{Ash}} {{pkmn2|caught}} a Cyndaquil in ''[[EP141|Good 'Quil Hunting]]''. During its early days on Ash's [[Party|team]], Cyndaquil would easily become tired out (e.g. waiting a while for the flames on its back to ignite so it could use {{type|Fire}} attacks). Eventually, Cyndaquil overcame its shortcomings. Following the end of his {{pkmn|journey}} in [[Johto]], Ash left Cyndaquil, along with the rest of his Johto [[Party|team]] (save for {{p|Pikachu}}), at {{an|Professor Oak}}'s lab when he set out for [[Hoenn]]. Later, Ash called Cyndaquil back into his party for the [[Lily of the Valley Conference]] in ''[[DP182|An Old Family Blend!]]''. It evolved into {{p|Quilava}} after a {{pkmn|battle}} with {{TRT}}'s [[Team Rocket's mechas|mecha]].

=====[[Jimmy's Cyndaquil]]=====
Cyndaquil is {{jo|Jimmy}}'s [[first partner Pokémon]] that he received from [[Professor Elm]]. It evolved all the way to Typhlosion prior to ''[[The Legend of Thunder!]]''.

==Other appearances==
===[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]===
When released from a {{i|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 no longer come out of Poké Balls and instead return only as 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."''

==Trivia==
* Cyndaquil, {{p|Charmander}}, and their respective evolutionary lines have exactly the same base stats in the same distribution.
* The [[game intro]] for {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} features a sprite of Cyndaquil that is slightly different from the one used in the actual game (this is most noticeable in the eyes). This sprite is not used anywhere else.
* Cyndaquil's [[List of Pokémon by Blueberry Pokédex number|Blueberry]] [[Pokédex]] Image features a Cyndaquil battling a {{p|Skarmory}}. This [[List of cross-canon references|references]] the episode ''[[EP152|Hot Matches!]]'', in which [[Ash's Quilava|Ash's Cyndaquil]] battled [[Miki|a Trainer's]] Skarmory.
* Cyndaquil was featured in the seventh episode of [[Beyond the Pokédex]] series.
* Cyndaquil is the Pokémon available in most [[core series]] games as the [[List of the player's first Pokémon|player's first Pokémon]], with a total of 6 games.
* Cyndaquil is the only [[first partner Pokémon]] with eyes usually closed.

===Origin===
Cyndaquil appears to be based on an {{wp|echidna}} with traits of {{wp|tenrec}}s, such as its long snout and having little to no tail. The shape of its closed eyes resemble those of baby {{wp|porcupine}}s, as well as its fire, when lit, resembles the quills of the same animal. Cyndaquil could also be based on the Chinese mythological creature called {{jwp|火鼠|Hinezumi}}, the same as Cyndaquil's species name in Japanese, which is a fire mouse that lives in volcanoes.

====Name origin====
Cyndaquil may be a combination of ''cinder'' (ashes) and ''quill'' (referring to needle-like hairs).

Hinoarashi may be a combination of 火 ''hi'' (fire) and ヤマアラシ (山荒) ''yama-arashi'' ({{wp|porcupine}}). It can be taken to mean 火の嵐 ''hi no arashi'' (storm of fire).

'''Saffron City''' (Japanese: '''ヤマブキシティ''' ''Yamabuki City'') is a sprawling metropolis in the [[Kanto]] [[region]]. It lies in between [[Celadon City]], [[Vermilion City]], [[Lavender Town]], and [[Cerulean City]]. It is home to [[Sabrina]], the city's [[Gym Leader]].

It is modeled after Japan's capital city of {{wp|Tokyo}} and is the largest and one of the busiest cities in Kanto, being famous even in other regions. It is the tenth most populous city in the [[Pokémon world]] and one of the only cities in Kanto that has enough visible houses to accommodate its population in the games. The large [[Silph Co.]] headquarters building stands firm as the city's centerpiece while two [[Gym]]s dominate the northeastern corner district. Not only is this the central business district of Kanto, it also holds the region's largest infrastructure, including the [[Magnet Train]] station, which allows ease of access between Kanto and [[Johto]].

==Slogan==
{{incomplete|section|Check Japanese Generation VII slogan}}
===Generations I-III===
'''''Shining, Golden Land of Commerce''''' (Japanese: '''ヤマブキ　きんいろ　かがやきのいろ''' ''Yamabuki is the color of golden radiance.'')

===Generation IV===
'''''Shining Big City''''' (Japanese: '''ひかり　かがやく　だいとかい''' ''Shining big city'')

===Generation VII===
'''''Shining Golden Land of Commerce'''''

==Access==
===Generations I, III, and VII===
Traveling to Saffron City is impossible at first, as the guards at the city's [[gate]]s are thirsty and will not let anyone through. After giving any of the guards a [[drink]] from the [[Celadon Department Store]] (in the [[Generation I]] games) or [[Tea]], they will all let the {{player}} pass. In {{LGPE}}, [[Brock]] and an NPC in the Route 7 gate describe the thirst as a side effect of [[Pewter Crunchies]].

===Generations II and IV===
The player does not need to fulfill certain requirements in order to access the city.

==Places of interest==
===Silph Co. Head Office===
{{main|Silph Co.}}
The Silph Co. Head Office is the largest and tallest building in the city. Silph Co. are the leading manufacturer of Pokémon technology in the world, and produce a variety of goods for {{pkmn|Trainer}}s, such as the [[Poké Ball]] and the [[Silph Scope]].

Their status makes them a target of [[Team Rocket]], who orchestrated the takeover of their headquarters in Saffron City in order to obtain the [[Master Ball]]. However, the player successfully drives them out and the President of Silph gives the player the Master Ball for saving the company.

The Silph Co. Head Office is an eleven-floor skyscraper, and effectively a giant maze. The building contains a number of [[warp panel]]s, which must be used in order to reach different rooms. Some of Silph's doors require a {{ka|Card Key}} to open.

In Generations {{gen|II}} and {{gen|IV}}, Silph Co. has increased security, and the player is not allowed to enter the upper floors. In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, one of the [[Hoenn]] region's [[first partner Pokémon]] may be obtained here from [[Hoenn]] {{pkmn|Champion}} {{Steven}}. In Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, [[Rotom's Room]] is located in this building, which contains appliances that allow {{p|Rotom}} to change forms.

===Fighting Dojo===
{{main|Fighting Dojo}}
[[File:Fighting Dojo FRLG.png|thumb|200px|The Fighting Dojo in FireRed and LeafGreen]]
In addition to [[Sabrina]]'s {{type|Psychic}} [[Gym]], there is also an unofficial Gym, the Fighting Dojo, which specializes in {{type|Fighting}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. The {{player}} can obtain their choice of {{p|Hitmonchan}} or {{p|Hitmonlee}} by defeating the Karate Master [[Koichi]].

The Fighting Dojo and the Saffron Gym once competed against each other to determine which one would be Saffron City's Gym. Due to the [[Type#Type effectiveness|type advantage]] that the Saffron Gym's Psychic-type Pokémon had over the Dojo's Fighting-type Pokémon, Saffron Gym easily won and became the official Gym.

In [[Generation II]], the Dojo is closed because the Karate Master [[Kiyo]] has left to train in [[Johto]]'s [[Mt. Mortar]]. In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, the player can schedule rematches with [[Kanto]] and [[Johto]] [[Gym Leader]]s to be held here using their [[Pokégear]].
{{-}}

===Magnet Train station===
{{main|Magnet Train}}
[[File:Magnet Train GSC.png|thumb|200px|The Magnet Train at the station in Generation II]]
In the [[Generation II]] games and {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, the [[Magnet Train]] runs from Saffron City to [[Goldenrod City]] in [[Johto]], connecting the two [[region]]s. It is one of the few methods {{player}}s can use to travel from region to region, and it will allow rapid travel between the two cities, going at over 340 miles per hour (550 kilometers per hour).

To board the train, the player must have a [[Pass]]. The {{OBP|Copycat|character}} in Saffron City has one and is willing to give it up as a reward for returning her the [[Lost Item|Poké Doll]] that {{ga|Red}} gave to her [[Generation I|three years before]]. Initially, the train is out of service as a minion of [[Team Rocket]] has stolen a valuable [[Machine Part|part]] from the [[Kanto Power Plant]]. After defeating him on {{rt|24|Kanto}}, the player can retrieve the part from the [[Cerulean Gym]] and return it to the Power Plant. With the component back in place, the train will have the necessary power to run.

In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, [[Vermilion City]]'s [[Gym Leader]] [[Lt. Surge]] will come here and offer to trade his {{p|Pikachu}} for the player's Pikachu. This Pikachu is notable because it originates from a different language than that of the player's game: in the English releases, it is French and in all other releases, it is English.
{{-}}
===Mr. Psychic's House===
Mr. Psychic lives in a small house that is located on the southeastern side of the city, being better accessible by entering Saffron City from the southern entrance. He sits at a table in the middle of the room. When talked to for the first time in every game he is featured in, he will claim to know that the {{player}} really wants to receive a gift from him, giving the [[TM]] for {{m|Psychic}} to the player.

In the ''[[Pokémon: Official Nintendo Player's Guide]]'', it is implied that Mr. Psychic may not be able to discover what the player was actually thinking. According to this guidebook, Mr. Psychic was expelled from an organization called "Friendly Psychic Network".<ref>''"You weren't thinking about a TM 29? Oh, well, maybe that's why he was booted out of the Friendly Psychic Network."'' - ''[[Pokémon: Official Nintendo Player's Guide]]'', page 42</ref>

===Copycat's house===
{{main|Copycat (character)}}
In the [[Generation I]] games, {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, and [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], Copycat lives in a house that is located in the northwest of the city. In the Generation I games, if the player gives her a [[Poké Doll]] she will give them {{TM|31|Mimic}}; in Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen she will offer to [[Move Tutor|teach]] one of the player's Pokémon {{m|Mimic}} if the player gives her a [[Poké Doll]]; and in Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!, she gives the player {{TM|08|Substitute}} if they show her a {{p|Clefairy}}. There is a video game system in her bedroom: in the Generation I games and Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen it is an [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System|SNES]] with {{smw|Mario & Wario|a game}} that has {{smw|Mario}} with a bucket on his head; in Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!, it is a [[Nintendo Switch]] with [[Pokémon Quest|a game]] featuring cube-shaped Pokémon.

Between the events of Generations I and {{gen|II}}, Copycat's house in Saffron City was torn down to make room for the [[Magnet Train]] station. Copycat and her family move to a house slightly south of the station.

In the Generation II games and {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, Copycat's Clefairy doll goes missing, being found by a member of the [[Pokémon Fan Club]] in [[Vermilion City]]. When the {{player}} returns her lost doll, Copycat will reward them with a ticket to ride the [[Magnet Train]] that travels between [[Kanto]] and [[Johto]].

===Pokémon Trainer Fan Club===

People gather to discuss their favorite celebrity {{pkmn|Trainer}}s at the [[Pokémon Trainer Fan Club]], which only exists in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}.

[[File:Saffron Gym HGSS.png|thumb|left|200px|Saffron Gym in HeartGold and SoulSilver]]
The Saffron Gym is the official [[Gym]] of Saffron City. It is based on {{type|Psychic}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. The [[Gym Leader]] is [[Sabrina]]. {{pkmn|Trainer}}s who defeat her receive the {{badge|Marsh}}. The Saffron Gym is a maze of warp panels and nine rooms.

'''{{St|Saffron City}}''' appears as a playable stage, specifically the roof of [[Silph Co.]], in [[Super Smash Bros.]] In the background, the text "[[Gotta Catch 'em All!]]" and "{{rt|5|Kanto}}" can be seen. A mountain range in the background may be the same one that contains [[Mt. Moon]], {{OBP|Victory Road|Kanto}}, [[Cerulean Cave]], and [[Mt. Silver]]. There is also a minor building with some blurry text that seems to start with "F", so it could possibly be the [[Fighting Dojo]].

Certain Pokémon will emerge from the elevator in the Silph Co. building and attack briefly, similar to Pokémon summoned from {{i|Poké Ball}}s. Occasionally, {{p|Pidgey}}, {{p|Fearow}}, {{p|Butterfree}}, and {{p|Moltres}} will appear in the background.

During the game's intro, {{p|Pikachu}} can be seen rolling on a Poké Ball as a person walks by.

===Pokémon Pinball===
In {{g|Pinball}}, Saffron City appears on the Blue table. Catchable {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} include {{p|Ekans}}, {{p|Sandshrew}}, {{p|Vulpix}}, {{p|Meowth}}, {{p|Growlithe}}, {{p|Hitmonlee}}, {{p|Hitmonchan}} and {{p|Lapras}}.

===={{aniseries|OS}}====
Saffron City debuted in ''[[EP022|Abra and the Psychic Showdown]]''. {{Ash}}, {{an|Misty}}, and {{an|Brock}} were initially caught and trapped by {{TRT}}, but were soon freed by a mysterious little girl, who turned out to be [[Sabrina]]'s doll. Wanting to earn the {{Badge|Marsh}}, Ash entered the [[Saffron Gym]] and challenged Sabrina into a battle, using his {{AP|Pikachu}} against Sabrina's {{p|Abra}}. During the battle, Abra evolved into a {{TP|Sabrina|Kadabra}} and easily overwhelmed Pikachu, making Ash eventually give up. Following the advice of [[Sabrina's father|a mysterious man]], Ash headed to [[Lavender Town]] to obtain a {{type|Ghost}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} so he could have another battle with Sabrina.

Ash and {{ashfr}} returned to Saffron City in ''[[EP024|Haunter versus Kadabra]]'', accompanied by a {{TP|Sabrina|Haunter}} Ash had befriended at the [[Pokémon Tower]]. Unfortunately, Haunter preferred comedy over battling, and disappeared before the [[rematch]]. Ash managed to find Haunter again, but it disappeared yet again when Ash re-entered the Gym. To protect Ash, Pikachu faced Sabrina's Kadabra. After a while, Haunter reappeared and made Sabrina laugh for the first time in years. As her Kadabra was rendered unable to battle by the laughter, Sabrina gave Ash the Marsh Badge and kept Haunter with her.

===={{aniseries|GS}}====
In ''[[EP159|A Dairy Tale Ending]]'', Team Rocket's uncontrolled ride down the incomplete [[Magnet Train]] line on a handcar from [[EP158|the previous episode]] was revealed to have ended in a collision into a brick wall in Saffron City, forcing them to walk all the way back to [[Johto]].

===={{aniseries|RS}}====
[[File:Saffron Contest billboard.png|thumb|left|220px|A billboard for the Saffron Contest]]
The [[Battle Arena]] is also located near Saffron City.

In ''[[AG139|On Cloud Arcanine]]'', [[Drew]] informed {{an|May}} that a [[Pokémon Contest]] was scheduled to be held at Saffron City. In ''[[AG143|The Saffron Con]]'', Ash, May, [[Max]], and Brock arrived there and met [[Harley]], who was assisting [[Nurse Joy]] at the local [[Pokémon Center]]. Managing to gain May's trust by telling a convenient truth verified by Nurse Joy, Harley then tried to make May arrive late to receiving her [[Kanto]] [[Contest Pass]] by giving her the wrong time for the deadline. In the meantime, May assisted in stopping one of Team Rocket's Pokémon-stealing schemes. While she arrived past the deadline, [[Lilian Meridian|Lilian]] told the receptionist about May's heroic efforts in saving many {{pkmn|Coordinator}}s' Pokémon from Team Rocket, allowing her to still receive her Contest Pass and register for the Saffron Contest.

The Contest took place in ''[[AG144|A Hurdle for Squirtle]]'', which Harley entered with his {{TP|Harley|Cacturne}}, [[Jessie|Jessebella]] entered with {{TP|James|Cacnea}}, and May entered with her {{TP|May|Combusken}} and {{TP|May|Squirtle}}. The three of them were able to impress the [[Contest Judge]]s enough to advance to the [[Contest Battle|Battle Stage]]. There, Harley defeated Jessebella and quickly made his way to the final round, where he found himself up against May. Using his {{p|Ariados}} against her Squirtle, Harley held the upper hand for most of their battle, having lowered May's score considerably. However, Squirtle ended up [[Fainting|knocking out]] Ariados, making May the winner of the Saffron Contest. This victory earned May the Saffron [[Ribbon]], her first Kanto Ribbon.

In ''[[AG145|Pasta La Vista!]]'', May and Brock decided to visit Saffron City's most famous noodle house, known for a dish called "battle noodles". However, the owner was soon called away to attend to business at the [[Fighting Dojo]]. Ash and Max met the Fighting Dojo's owner, [[Master Hamm]], and soon caught up with May and Brock, who followed the noodle shop owner, [[Kyle Hamm|Kyle]], who was also Master Hamm's son. Eventually, the father and son came to an understanding, with Kyle returning to his noodle business while dojo student [[Terri]] agreed to take over the dojo from Master Hamm.

===={{aniseries|DP}}====
In [[DPS02]], Brock met a Nurse Joy who had once served at the Saffron City Pokémon Center, but was now a top agent of the [[Pokémon Inspection Agency]].

===={{aniseries|BW}}====
In ''[[BW065|Battling the Bully!]]'', [[Sean]] mentioned having visited Saffron City with his family in the past. On the trip, he saw a {{p|Pikachu}} there.

In ''[[BW141|Best Wishes Until We Meet Again!]]'', Saffron City was revealed to have a train station. {{an|Iris}} and {{an|Cilan}} made plans to travel from [[Vermilion City]] via this train and get off at Saffron City's station to continue on to [[Goldenrod City]] in Johto using the Magnet Train line.

===={{aniseries|JN}}====
In ''[[JN034|Solitary and Menacing!]]'', Ash and [[Goh]] visited the Fighting Dojo. There, Ash faced and lost to [[Bea]] in a [[World Coronation Series]] match, while Goh won himself a {{DL|List of Goh's Pokémon|Hitmonchan}}.

===Pokémon Origins===
[[File:Saffron City PO.png|thumb|250px|Saffron City in [[Pokémon Origins]]]]
Saffron City appeared in ''[[PO03|File 3: Giovanni]]''. Soon after arriving at the city, {{OBP|Red|Origins}} encountered {{OBP|Blue|Origins}}, and together they saved a woman from being harassed by [[Team Rocket]]. The woman revealed herself to be the [[Silph Co.]]'s president's secretary, and told the two Trainers that Team Rocket had taken over the company, intending to steal the [[Master Ball]] they were developing. Wanting to free the Pokémon used in the development tests, Red stormed the Silph Co., releasing all the imprisoned Pokémon and {{tc|Scientist}}s inside. At the top floor, he encountered the Boss of Team Rocket, [[Giovanni]]. He had a battle against the criminal leader, but was easily defeated, and Giovanni got away.

Following the Silph Co. incident, Red challenged Sabrina to a Gym battle and defeated her, earning the Marsh Badge. Afterwards, he challenged the [[Koichi|Karate Master]] at the [[Fighting Dojo]] and won, earning himself a {{p|Hitmonlee}} or {{p|Hitmonchan}} as a reward.

==In the manga==
===Pokémon Adventures===
[[File:Saffron City Adventures.png|thumb|230px|Saffron City in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
===={{MangaArc|Red, Green & Blue}}====
Saffron City first appeared in ''[[PS026|Holy Moltres]]'' and ''[[PS027|Kalling Kadabra]]'', where it was revealed that [[Team Rocket]] had managed to capture all three {{adv|legendary birds}} and was keeping their base at the [[Silph Co.]] building, along with the citizens of [[Pallet Town]], whom they had kidnapped. Due to guards blocking the [[gate]]s and an invisible barrier surrounding the city, it seemed impossible to get in. However, thanks to some cooperation between {{adv|Red}} and {{adv|Blue}}, they were able to discover that the barrier was actually a {{m|Light Screen}} cast by a {{p|Mr. Mime}}, and defeat it using teamwork between [[Pika|Red's Pikachu]]'s {{m|Substitute}} clone and [[Blue's Golduck]], lifting the barrier and allowing the [[Pokédex holder]]s to enter the city.

The Pokédex holders subsequently stormed the Silph Co. and battled against the evil [[Gym Leader]]s serving for Team Rocket; [[Lt. Surge]], [[Koga]], and [[Sabrina]], and the legendary birds they controlled. Using a device called the Badge Energy Amplifier, {{adv|Green}} accidentally {{pkmn|fusion|fused}} the three legendary birds into one being, {{DL|Legendary birds (Adventures)|Thu-Fi-Zer}}. With their combined efforts, the three Pallet Town Trainers managed to defeat the creature and separate it back into its three original forms, which then fled. The building proceeded to collapse into ruins during the ensuing chaos.

During the Silph Co. battle, lower members of Team Rocket tried to escape the city, but were all caught by the Gym Leaders of Justice ([[Brock]], [[Misty]], and [[Erika]]) and their allies outside the city gates.

===={{MangaArc|Yellow}}====
In ''[[PS041|Ponyta Tale]]'', two years after Team Rocket's defeat, [[Agatha]] was seen picking up the Badge Energy Amplifier from the ruins of the Silph Co.

===Pokémon Zensho===
[[File:Saffron City Zensho.png|thumb|210px|Saffron City in [[Pokémon Zensho]]]]
{{zensho|Satoshi}} visited Saffron City in [[PZ07]]. From the [[Koichi|Karate Master]], he learned that [[Gym Leader]] [[Sabrina]] was trying to rescue the [[Silph Co.]] from the hands of [[Team Rocket]], so he went after her to help. Inside the occupied office building, Satoshi found both Sabrina and a {{pkmn2|talking}} {{p|Lapras}} that she had befriended while infiltrating the building. With Sabrina's teleportation powers, they made their way to the top floor, where [[Giovanni]] was holding that Silph Co. president hostage. Satoshi fought Giovanni's {{p|Nidoqueen}} with Lapras and was able to force him to retreat. As thanks, the president gave Satoshi the [[Master Ball]], while Sabrina gave him a {{badge|Marsh}}, and Lapras joined Satoshi on his travels.

==Trivia==
[[File:Saffron City unused FRLG.png|thumb|200px|The unused map of Saffron City from FireRed and LeafGreen]]
* In {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, if the overworld's collision data is bypassed in order to skip any of the [[gate]]s surrounding the city, the player will access an alternate version of Saffron City, where all warps and events are absent. This is because the real Saffron City is not directly connected to its adjacent routes so the game loads a copy of the map that assures the continuity of the overworld.

* [[Mustard]] has a Switch in the [[Master Dojo]]'s living room of [[Isle of Armor]], playing {{pkmn|Quest|Pokémon Quest}}.

==Trivia==
* The Nintendo Switch is the first Nintendo video game console to have its first [[core series]] Pokémon title not be the start of a new [[generation]].
** This excludes the [[Game Boy Color]]. {{game|Yellow}} (outside of Japan) and {{game|Gold and Silver|s}} were both Game Boy Color games that were also compatible with the [[Game Boy]], but Pokémon Yellow was marketed as a Game Boy game that is enhanced on Game Boy Color, while Pokémon Gold and Silver were marketed as Game Boy Color games that are playable on Game Boy. {{game|Crystal}} was the first Pokémon title to be exclusive to the Game Boy Color.
* The Nintendo Switch is the first home console to natively play core series Pokémon titles. Previous home consoles require a peripheral (such as the [[Super Game Boy]], [[Transfer Pak]], or [[Game Boy Player]]) to play core series Pokémon games.
* The Nintendo Switch is the only Nintendo home console not to be [[software region|region-locked]] (except in {{wp|Mainland China}}, where it is region-locked).
* The Nintendo Switch is the first Nintendo system to have more than two generations of core series games released for it, being everything from [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]] to [[Pokémon Legends: Z-A]].
** It also has the most core series games released for it, so far being ten.
* Of the Nintendo systems with core series Pokémon titles released for it, the Nintendo Switch is the only one in which none of the games are among the top five best selling games for the system, despite the second and third best selling Pokémon games of all time being released on this system.
* It is also the only one in which the best selling Pokémon game wasn't the first set of new core series games released for it; instead, it was the second set of new core series games.
** It is also the only one with more than one release of a solitary core series game.
* On May 31, 2023, Nintendo discontinued purchases and code redemptions for the Nintendo eShop in Russia. However, already-purchased software would still be available to redownload.<ref>[https://www.gamedeveloper.com/business/nintendo-eshop-to-effectively-shut-down-in-russia Nintendo eShop to effectively shut down in Russia | Game Developer]</ref>
* The Nintendo Switch is tied with the Nintendo DS and Nintendo 3DS for having games from the most number of generations released for it, being three: in this case, the [[Generation VIII]] and [[Generation IX]] games, as well as one core series game and three spin-off games from [[Generation VII]].

The '''Wii''' (Japanese: '''ウィー''' ''Wii'') is [[Nintendo]]'s seventh-generation console, which serves as the company's competition for Sony's {{wp|PlayStation 3}} and Microsoft's {{wp|Xbox 360}}. Its handheld counterpart is the [[Nintendo DS]]. The [[Nintendo 3DS]]'s graphical and CPU capabilities are nearly identical to the Wii. Like its predecessor, the [[Nintendo GameCube]], the Wii is able to connect to software titles on the handheld of this generation, the [[Nintendo DS]]; has a Pokémon game that serves as a battle arena for the [[Generation IV]] Pokémon games—in this case, [[Pokémon Battle Revolution]]; and also has a storage system: [[My Pokémon Ranch]]. It was succeeded by the [[Wii U]], which is backwards-compatible with all Wii games and controllers.

A cheaper version, known as the [[Wii Family Edition]], was released in North America, Europe, and Australia in 2011. A smaller model, known as the [[Wii mini]], was released in Canada in 2012 and in Europe and the United States in 2013.

The Wii was discontinued in worldwide on October 20, 2013.<ref>[http://www.engadget.com/2013/10/20/nintendo-stops-selling-wii-consoles-in-japan/ Engadget - Nintendo stops selling Wii consoles in Japan]</ref><ref>[http://www.gamespot.com/articles/wii-discontinuation-in-japan-won-t-affect-availability-in-united-states/1100-6415717/ GameSpot - Wii discontinuation in Japan won't affect availability in United States]</ref><ref>[http://www.mcvuk.com/news/read/time-also-called-on-wii-in-europe/0123162 Time also called on Wii in Europe | Games industry news | MCV]</ref>

==Features==
===Wii Remote===
[[File:Wii Remote pink.png|thumb|left|200px|A pink Wii Remote]]
The Wii's controller design is unconventional; instead of taking the dual-control-stick layout of the previous generation like its competitors, it is in a remote control form, with attachments available to work with compatible games, such as a control stick on a Nunchuk attachment, or the Classic Controller, which takes on a layout similar to other consoles' main controllers. The Wii Remote is wireless, and features such innovations as motion and tilt sensing, a first for game controllers. Its sensitivity can be enhanced with {{nw|Wii Motion-Plus}}, but no [[Pokémon games]] use Wii MotionPlus in any way.

===Wii Menu===
[[File:Disc channel.jpg|thumb|left|200px|The Wii Disc Channel]]
The console features a custom GUI made up of different—and expandable—channels, all of which, save the Disc Channel, can be moved around to any of the 47 spaces available on the main menu. New channels can be downloaded via the Wii Shop Channel, and include an Internet browser and games from older systems playable via Virtual Console. The channels can be put on an SD card, and with the introduction of Wii Menu 3.3, SD Card menus can be accessed straight from the main menu.

The Wii also has the ability to send messages to and from other devices, so long as the Wii sends out an initial address book confirmation message to the email address or cell phone number in question. When the recipient replies to the Wii's message, communication between the two devices will be active, and via WiiConnect24, others can leave messages for players of the console on its message board from anywhere in the world. However, this feature, along with a few channels, was discontinued on June 30, 2013.

===Backward compatibility===
The Wii is backwards-compatible with all GameCube games, as well as with most of GameCube's accessories, such as the controllers, memory cards, GameCube-to-GBA cables, and microphone. It is incompatible with the {{wp|Rumble Pak}} or the [[Game Boy Player]].

The cheaper Wii variants, the Wii Family Edition and Wii mini, are incompatible with GameCube games.

==Hardware revisions==
===Wii Family Edition===
{{main|Wii Family Edition}}
[[File:Wii Family Edition.png|thumb|Wii Family Edition]]
The '''Wii Family Edition''' is a hardware revision of Wii that incompatible with [[Nintendo GameCube]] games or hardware like the original model was, restricting the console to only playing games from Wii game discs. Due to lack of GameCube controller ports, this model is incompatible with Wii peripherals, which need to be connected through the ports, and Wii games which require such peripherals to play. It is designed to sit horizontally, rather than upright like the original model. The stand included with the original model can be used on this Wii model, however. The Wii Family Edition was released on October 23, 2011 in North America and November 4, 2011 in Europe. It was never released in Japan, however, but a black NTSC-J variant of the Wii Family Edition that can be used to play Japanese Wii discs was released in Taiwan on December 16, 2011.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20120123081541/http://www.nintendo.tw/pressrelease_new.htm 任天堂溥天股份有限公司，Wii的價格變更以及Wii主機新組合上市]</ref>

===Wii mini===
{{main|Wii mini}}
[[File:Wii Mini.png|thumb|Wii mini]]
[[File:Wii mini Logo.png|100px|left]]
The '''Wii mini''' is a hardware revision of Wii that that retains the same restrictions as the Wii Family Edition, abiet without online functions, an {{wp|Secure Digital|SD card}} slot, and several built-in channels, such as the Photo Channel and WiiConnect24 channels, similar to the Wii Mode on the [[Wii U]]. Unlike previous models, the Wii mini only has one {{wp|Universal Serial Bus|USB port}}, rather than the two on the original Wii, and can only use {{wp|composite video}} cables, rather than the {{wp|S-Video}} and {{wp|component video}} cables used by the original Wii. It was released in Canada on December 7, 2012, in Europe on March 22, 2013, and in the United States on November 17, 2013. Like the Wii Family Edition, however, the Wii mini was never released in Japan. Unlike the Wii Family Edition, though, an NTSC-J variant of the Wii mini that can be used to play Japanese Wii discs was never released in Taiwan.

The {{wp|Wii Shop Channel}} is a channel which comes pre-installed on Wii consoles. It uses the Internet to purchase and download WiiWare, Virtual Console games and channels with Wii Points.

===Nintendo Channel===
The {{wp|Wii Menu#Nintendo Channel|Nintendo Channel}} is a free downloadable channel which contains various videos and demos of Nintendo games. Use of this channel requires the Internet. These videos are often commercials, trailers, and interviews relating to Nintendo products. All [[Pokémon games]] for [[Nintendo DS]] and Wii (excluding Virtual Console) that have had an English language release have been featured on the channel at some point.

Additionally, the channel has a feature called the DS Download Service, which allows players to download demos of games to a Nintendo DS system via DS Download Play. Demos for [[Pokémon Ranger: Guardian Signs]], [[Pokémon Trozei!]] and [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky]] can be downloaded. Explorers of Sky has three slightly different demos.

The channel was discontinued on June 30, 2013.

'''Ignorance is Blissey''' (Japanese: '''ハピナスのハッピーナース！''' ''{{tt|Happinas|Blissey}} the Happy Nurse!'') is the 129th episode of the [[Pokémon animated series]]. It was first broadcast in Japan on January 6, 2000, and in the United States on December 9, 2000.

{{spoilers}}

==Blurb==

Team Rocket can't believe their luck when the Blissey employed in a Pokémon Center willingly gives them the center's entire food supply. As they abscond with the grub, however, an collective pang of conscience tells them to return their ill-gotten booty. However, they are ashamed lest this act of decency ruin their carefully cultivated reputation as troublemakers.

==Plot==
While {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} continue to make their way to the [[Violet Gym]], they find themselves looking for a place to spend the night in a quiet area called [[Happy Town]]. Tired, hungry, and dirty, Ash knocks on the door of a locked [[Pokémon Center]] and, to his surprise, is greeted by a {{p|Blissey}}. After noticing Ash's hunger, Blissey tries to give the group some food, but ends up spilling it all on Ash. While washing it off, Blissey suggests that she wash his back, but ends up scratching him. While she tries to attend to the scratch, she puts too much alcohol on him, and in the end, he is in a full-body cast. [[Nurse Joy]] eventually wakes up and apologizes for Blissey's trouble.

Outside, [[James]] devises a plan to sneak into the Pokémon Center and steal some Pokémon and some food for the equally hungry {{TRT}}. However, once they get inside, they find themselves in an empty kitchen with nothing to eat. {{MTR}} finds a parsnip in the fridge, but refuses to share it and runs off. [[Jessie]] goes looking for him, but finds a Blissey in the hallway. The Blissey tackles Jessie in joy; Jessie initially thinks that she tackled her to stop her, but then notices that Blissey's egg necklace has only its upper half. Jessie pulls out the bottom half, connects the pieces, and then remembers Blissey.

Jessie explains to James and Meowth that, when she was young, she wanted to become a Pokémon Nurse, but she could not get into a regular nursing school. She noticed a flyer for the [[Pokémon Nurse School]], which was intended only for {{p|Chansey}}, and decided to go there, despite being advised not to. Jessie was the only human in the class, the rest being Chansey. She was competent at nursing and helped out a Chansey who kept messing things up by showing her how to wrap bandages, among other things. The two quickly became friends. However, while Jessie was good at most nursing skills, she could not resist Chansey's {{m|Sing}}, and fell a{{status|sleep}} when she was supposed to be singing sick and injured Pokémon to sleep herself. She eventually gave up on nursing and failed to graduate, but her friend Chansey did. On graduation day, each Chansey was given a nurse's hat and pendant. As Jessie was leaving, she was approached by her friend, who first tried to give Jessie her hat; Jessie refused to take it, so she gave her half of her pendant so that they both had something to remember each other with.

Overjoyed to see her friend again, the evolved Blissey satisfies Team Rocket's hunger by giving all of the food from the Center storeroom, much to Jessie's reluctance. The next morning, Ash and his friends discover only a tiny amount of food left in the Center. Ash complains to Nurse Joy about the lack of food. She checks the storeroom, only to find it empty. Nurse Joy reviews the security tapes to see who took the food, which expose Blissey as the culprit. Nurse Joy asks Blissey to explain why she took the food, and says that it could end Blissey's career as a nurse.

Watching this through their binoculars, Team Rocket devises a plan to get Blissey out of trouble. They decide to go back and tell them they tricked Blissey into giving them food. They land their balloon in front of the Center and announce over a megaphone that they accidentally dropped all the food that they stole. Once they have everyone's attention, they demand that all of the Pokémon in the Center be handed over to them, or they won't return the food. While Ash and Nurse Joy argue with them, Blissey comes outside and runs over to Jessie. Jessie pleads that Blissey not reveal their friendship in an attempt to save Blissey's job. Blissey doesn't care and continues towards Jessie, who sends out {{TP|Jessie|Arbok}} and {{TP|Jessie|Lickitung}} to keep Blissey at a distance. Despite this, Blissey still wants to be with Jessie, so Jessie forces herself to order Arbok and Lickitung to attack Blissey. After they do so, Jessie yells at them for hurting her.

However, Blissey gets back on her feet and walks toward Jessie again, still unaware of why Jessie wants to keep her away. Jessie then orders her Pokémon to attack Blissey again, lightly this time. Even after that, Blissey limps toward Jessie, refusing to turn away. Then, Jessie shoots the ground with a rocket launcher, and threatens to hit her with the rocket if she comes any closer. James begins to insult Ash for letting a Blissey do all the fighting, while Meowth uses a pair of grabbers to steal {{AP|Pikachu}}. Pikachu immediately uses {{m|Thunder Shock}} to release himself, zapping Team Rocket.

Nurse Joy then runs to Blissey and apologizes for doubting her. Blissey then looks to Jessie, who puts her finger over her mouth. Still hungry, Ash sends out {{AP|Squirtle}} and {{AP|Chikorita}} to retrieve the food. Pikachu uses {{m|Thunderbolt}} on Arbok; Chikorita uses {{m|Vine Whip}} on Lickitung; and Squirtle uses {{m|Water Gun}} at Jessie, James, and Meowth. The trio runs to the [[Team Rocket's mechas|balloon]] right after the attack, but Chikorita uses a {{m|Razor Leaf}} to pop the balloon and cut the food from it, sending the food to the ground and sending Team Rocket blasting off into the ocean.

In the aftermath, Blissey serves a whole meal to Ash and his friends. Meanwhile, Team Rocket remains on their capsized balloon basket, pleased with themselves that they helped Blissey, but depressed that they didn't get any food.

[[File:Ash Back Bleeding.png|thumb|200px|Ash bleeding on his back]]
* This episode is based on the experiences [[Jessie]]'s Japanese voice actress [[Megumi Hayashibara]] had during nursing school.
* This episode's English [[dub]] title is a reference to the popular saying "ignorance is bliss".
* This episode is later referenced in ''[[DP038|One Big Happiny Family]]''.
* This episode reveals that [[Nurse Joy]]s use {{p|Blissey}} as assistants in addition to {{p|Chansey}}. ''[[Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon]]'' would later reveal that Blissey are commonly used by Nurse Joys working in the [[Alola]] [[region]].
* This episode marks the second time a character is shown bleeding (in this case, {{Ash}}). The first time was in ''[[EP041|Wake Up Snorlax!]]'', where {{an|Misty}} was seen bleeding.
* Unlike how it usually sleeps, {{TP|Misty|Togepi}} does not retract its spikes when sleeping at the [[Pokémon Center]].
* During the [[Pokémon Nurse School]] scene, when the Chansey are using {{m|Sing}}, the chip-tune Sing music and battle theme from the [[Generation II]] {{pkmn|games}} can be heard in the background.
* This episode was partially adapted into the book [[Prepare for Trouble]].
* This episode implies that some Pokémon, like {{p|Chansey}}, may be literate, as the one befriended by Jessie is seen reading a manual.

===Errors===
[[File:EP129 error.png|thumb|200px|Chikorita's miscolored vines]]
* {{AP|Chikorita}}'s {{m|Vine Whip}} is dark-green, like {{AP|Bulbasaur}}'s, instead of its usual light-green.
* In the {{pmin|Poland|Polish}} dub, {{TP|Nurse Joy|Blissey}} is incorrectly referred to as a male.
* Because the Pokémon Nurse School is only meant for Chansey, Jessie, being a human, shouldn't have been able to enroll there.

===Dub edits===
* [[Pokémon Karaokémon]]: [[Song of Jigglypuff]]

'''Georgia''' (Japanese: '''ラングレー''' ''Langley'') is a recurring character in {{aniseries|PTS}}. She is a [[Pokémon Trainer]] whose goal is to defeat every {{type|Dragon}} [[Type expert|specialist]] she encounters, describing herself as a '''Dragon Buster''' (Japanese: '''ドラゴンバスター''' ''Dragon Buster''). She is a [[rival]] of {{an|Iris}}.

==History==
==={{aniseries|BW}}===
[[File:Georgia and Iris.png|thumb|250px|left|Georgia and Iris]]
Georgia debuted in ''[[BW033|Iris and Excadrill Against the Dragon Buster!]]'', where she challenged {{an|Iris}} to a {{pkmn|battle}}. She referred to herself as a Dragon Buster, seeking out and defeating [[Type expert|Dragon Masters]]. She also wished to battle people from the [[Village of Dragons]] because she suffered a terrible loss against a {{pkmn|Trainer}} while there. Iris chose to use {{TP|Iris|Axew}} for the battle, while Georgia chose her {{p|Beartic}}. She thought very little of Axew from the start as he was not a "big dragon". Her {{TP|Georgia|Beartic}} easily defeated Axew and was disappointed that the battle was so easy. She then demanded Iris to bring out her next {{type|Dragon}} Pokémon, but {{an|Cilan}} explained that she had no others. Once again, Georgia taunted Iris, saying that she is not a real Dragon Master if all she has is one Dragon type. This led Iris to take a risk and call out on her {{TP|Iris|Excadrill}} to finish the job. However, as usual, Excadrill [[Obedience|refused to battle]]. Georgia made the first move, prompting Excadrill to show his face and begin to battle, which is what Iris had hoped for. However, because Excadrill did not trust Iris, Georgia defeated her once again.

The next day, Georgia helped herself to {{ashfr|the group}}'s breakfast while they were off watching Excadrill {{pkmn|training|train}}. She was then challenged by Iris to a [[rematch]]. With Excadrill now trusting his Trainer once more and with the use of a newly learned {{m|Focus Blast}}, the battle resulted in a draw. Georgia didn't consider the draw a real loss as Excadrill was not a Dragon-type. She took her leave after telling Cilan to make her a better meal the next time they were to meet.

In ''[[BW039|Reunion Battles In Nimbasa!]]'', Georgia entered and advanced to the second round of the Club Battle by defeating {{OBP|Sylvester|BW039}}'s {{p|Joltik}}. In the [[BW040|next episode]], she is selected to go up against {{Ash}}. She was also revealed to have a {{p|Pawniard}}, and she used it to begin the battle against his {{AP|Snivy}}. Although the battle was hard fought, Snivy was able to knock out Pawniard eliminating Georgia from the Club Battle. Georgia, however, blamed her loss on the battlefield's terrain, which caused Pawniard's arms to become stuck.

When Iris won the Club Battle, Georgia gained some respect for her, telling her to continue to work toward becoming a Dragon Master, or otherwise it will make her look bad to be her rival.

In ''[[BW070|The Clubsplosion Begins!]]'', Georgia participated in the [[Clubsplosion]] that was held in [[Ambiga Town]]'s [[Battle Club]]. She was particularly eager to battle Iris in the tournament expecting her to enter with a new Dragon type. When it was revealed Iris chose Excadrill for the Clubsplosion she was furious with her. Her first opponent was [[Gail]] whom she battled against in ''[[BW071|Search for the Clubultimate!]]''. Gail used a Dragon-type Pokémon, {{p|Druddigon}}, as well which put Georgia in a good mood. Quickly, her {{p|Bisharp}}, which she had since evolved from Pawniard took out the Cave Pokémon advancing her to the second round. In ''[[BW072|A Clubsplosion of Excitement!]]'', her second opponent was revealed to be {{an|Bianca}}. However she lost to her rather quickly after two {{m|Flamethrower}}s from {{TP|Bianca|Emboar}} roasted Bisharp. Still the loss did not appear to upset her too much and she did not count it as a real one because Emboar is not a Dragon type.

In ''[[BW081|Crisis at Ferroseed Research!]]'', it was revealed that Georgia owned a {{p|Vanilluxe}}, which became attracted to Iris' Axew, much to her dislike. She was on her way to the [[Ferroseed Research Institute]] to have Vanilluxe exposed to the special moss said to enhance abilities. At the lab, Vanilluxe ran away from her in order to chase Axew. When the {{p|Ferroseed}} at the laboratory got out of control and started generating electric moss that grew rapidly, she had her Beartic get rid of the electric moss using its Ice-type moves. Once the Ferroseed were brought under control, she took back her Vanilluxe and went on her way.

In ''[[BW090|Jostling for the Junior Cup!]]'', Georgia participated in the [[Pokémon World Tournament Junior Cup]]. She battled with her Beartic against Iris' {{TP|Iris|Dragonite}}, but despite having the type advantage, she lost and was eliminated from the tournament. She spent the rest of the tournament on the sidelines, chatting with [[Burgundy]].

She appeared briefly in ''[[BW108|A Unova League Evolution!]]'' in Ash's flashback about his travels in [[Unova]].

Georgia appeared prominently in the ending [[Let's Join Hands]] and also made a cameo appearance in the ending credits of ''[[M16|Genesect and the Legend Awakened]]''.

==={{aniseries|JN}}===
In ''[[JN117|The Fiery Road to Mastership!]]'', Georgia was shown watching Iris's [[Masters Eight Tournament]] match against {{an|Cynthia}}.

==Character==
[[File:Unova Rivals.png|thumb|250px|Georgia in {{aniseries|JN}}]]
[[File:Burgundy and Georgia.png|left|thumb|250px|Georgia and Burgundy]]
Like most [[rival]]s, Georgia has a lot of confidence in herself, but can also be immature. She acts like a poor loser, as all four times her Pokémon were defeated (of which one was a tie), she blamed it on something else; the tie with Excadrill and loss against Emboar didn't count as they weren't Dragon-type Pokémon, Pawniard's loss against Snivy was because of the state of the terrain, and Beartic's loss against Dragonite was due to the latter's own power, and not Iris', in her opinion. At times she has been shown to be quite rude, as when she ate the group's breakfast and told them to just make more.

Georgia tends to get in skirmishes with Iris, but will get frustrated if Iris begins to get the better of her. She hated it when Iris used [[Luke's Zorua]] to {{a|Illusion|transform}} into her in order to make fun of her during the [[Club Battle]] and lashed out at her each time. Despite this, she seems to have a somewhat forgiving attitude towards {{an|Bianca}} who constantly mistook her for Zorua. At the end of the Club Battle tournament, Georgia has gained some actual respect for Iris and encourages her to become a Dragon Master, showing that she expects her rivals to be strong. This is especially shown during the Clubsplosion arc where she often told Iris to do her best in multiple matches and even appeared sad when she lost to [[Montgomery]]. She also expresses disappointment whenever Iris fails to live up to the strength that she expects of her. Georgia appears to have an odd vitriolic friendship with [[Burgundy]], showcased particularly during the Junior Cup, as the two made snide comments at one another and got on each other's nerves frequently, and yet hung out together the whole time all the same and occasionally got along.

|desc={{p|Bisharp}} was used by Georgia during her quarter-final battle against {{Ash}} during the [[Club Battle]] tournament, as a {{p|Pawniard}}. Pawniard proved to be an extremely powerful Pokémon against her opponent, [[Ash's Snivy]]. Not only was she able to move so quick that she cut up Snivy's {{m|Leaf Storm}} but was also immune to Snivy's {{m|Attract}} due to the fact both were female. Soon Snivy started to gain the upper hand, but Pawniard turned things around quickly and put Snivy on the defensive before attempting to finish her in one-hit with Guillotine. However, Snivy was able to fight back, and managed to get both of Pawniard's needle-like arms caught in the ground. Now with no defense, Snivy was able to make a direct hit with Leaf Storm, knocking Pawniard out, leading to Georgia's elimination from the tournament.

Pawniard was shown to have evolved into a Bisharp in ''[[BW071|Search for the Clubultimate!]]'' during Georgia's [[Clubsplosion]] tournament battle against Gail and her {{p|Druddigon}}. She easily blocked Druddigon's {{m|Dragon Claw}} and dodged its {{m|Dragon Tail}} before striking back with Metal Sound and Iron Head, defeating the Cave Pokémon. In ''[[BW072|A Clubsplosion of Excitement!]]'', she battled [[Bianca's Emboar]] and lost, eliminating Georgia from the tournament.

Due to this, Iris was caught inside the {{p|Ferroseed}} Research Institute when it was covered with electrically-charged moss. Iris overcame her fear of Vanilluxe and commanded her during her mission to free the people trapped inside.

Vanilluxe's only known move is {{m|Icy Wind}}.}}

[[File:Dario.png|thumb|250px|Dario in ''[[EP033|The Flame Pokémon-athon!]]'']]
'''Dario''' (Japanese: '''ドリオ''' ''Dorio'') is a [[character of the day]] who appeared in ''[[EP033|The Flame Pokémon-athon!]]''. He also appeared in [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]].

==In animation==
Dario was an arrogant and rude {{pkmn|Trainer}} who presumably takes care of the Dodrio at the Pokemon Reserve. He went to great lengths to win the [[Big P Pokémon Race]]. He resorted to cheating, and hired {{TRT}} to stage a stampede that resulted in his rival competitor [[Lara Laramie]] breaking her arm. While she could not compete, {{Ash}} entered in her place, riding her {{p|Ponyta}}.

Thanks to more of Team Rocket's assistance, Dario and his {{p|Dodrio}} quickly took the lead position during most of the race. Out of nowhere, Ash emerged and caught up to him. Dario had his Dodrio {{m|Peck}}ed at Ponyta, but it only delayed the Pokémon temporarily. It then [[Evolution|evolved]] into {{p|Rapidash}} and defeated Dario by just a few centimeters. Dario hypocritically called Ash a cheater, even though ''he'' tried to cheat for the entire race, and attacked Rapidash. Enraged, Dario ordered Dodrio to attack Ash and Rapidash, but Rapidash kicked them with {{m|Stomp}} and sent them flying.

Blaming Team Rocket for his loss, Dario tied them up and had his Dodrio use Peck on them.

Dario appears in ''[[ET05|The Human Race and the Pokémon Race]]'', where he spooks Lara's Ponyta so that she will be injured and unable to participate in the [[Fuchsia Free-For-All Race]]. Unlike his animated series appearance, he spooks Ponyta by himself without Team Rocket's help. He also hired a bunch of thugs and a herd of {{p|Squirtle}}, {{p|Wartortle}} and {{p|Blastoise}} to help him cheat in the race. He was revealed to be a poor sport when Ash won, trying to take the flag away from him.

'''Mewtwo''' (Japanese: '''ミュウツー''' ''Mewtwo'') is a playable character in the [[Super Smash Bros. series]]. It was playable in [[Super Smash Bros. Melee]] for the [[Nintendo GameCube]], was absent from [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]], but returned as {{wp|downloadable content}} for [[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U]]. In Melee, its voice and characterization are based on the Japanese portrayal of [[Mewtwo (M01)|the original Mewtwo from the anime]], although its spoken lines are removed in non-Japanese versions rather than being dubbed.

==[[Super Smash Bros.]]==
Mewtwo does not appear in ''Super Smash Bros.'' but was intended to be a playable character (alongside {{few|Marth}}, {{smw|Bowser}} and {{wk|King Dedede}}). {{fact}} All four of them were cut.

==[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]==
[[File:Mewtwo Melee.png|thumb|300px|Artwork of Mewtwo in [[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]]]
Mewtwo is an unlockable character and can be unlocked by playing a combined minimum 20 hours of single player and multiplayer matches or playing at least 700 Melee matches. Its main stage is {{st|Pokémon Stadium}}.

Mewtwo has an unusual combination of attributes. Unlike other characters, its throws are exceedingly powerful, capable of KO'ing at similar percentages as smash attacks. It also boasts several fast attacks that can be linked together for simple and effective combos, and possesses an exceptional recovery. However, it is rather light (even though Mewtwo is supposed to stand at 6'07 feet tall and weigh 269.0 lbs), moves and falls slowly, and is a large target, making it easy to combo back. It also has difficulties KO'ing opponents - while its throws are strong, it needs to get grabs first, and its other KO moves are either slow or have short range.

{{SmashMoves|type=Psychic|game=Melee|Spe=Shadow Ball|SpeM=yes|SpeS=Confusion|SpeSM=yes|SpeU=Teleport|SpeUM=yes|SpeD=Disable|SpeDM=yes}}

===Trophy information===
====Classic Mode====
''A genetically created Pokémon, Mewtwo is the result of many long years of research by a solitary scientist. Although Mewtwo was cloned from the genes of the legendary Pokémon Mew, its size and character are far different than its ancestor. Its battle abilities have been radically heightened, making it ruthless.''

====Adventure Mode====
''As Mewtwo relies mostly on its powerful brain, there are times when it scarcely uses its arms and legs. Since Mewtwo spends much of its time floating, it flies far when struck. Shadow Ball traces a jagged path once released; the longer Mewtwo holds it, the more powerful it becomes. Mewtwo uses Confusion to spin its foes around.''

====All-Star Mode====
''Mewtwo is definitely not a speedy character, but its ESP-powered grab and throw moves are comparatively strong. Teleport has a short range, but doesn't leave it open to attack. It's best used as an escape move during disturbances. Mewtwo can daze a foe if it makes eye contact and uses Disable; the move is useless unless Mewtwo is facing its enemy.''

==[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]==
Mewtwo makes an appearance in the game as a trophy.

Although Mewtwo is not a playable character, there are several empty files for {{sbw|Unused content (SSBB)#Characters|unused playable characters}}, one of which is named "mewtwo".

===Trophy information===
''A Genetic Pokémon. This legendary Pokémon was based on a recombination of Mew's DNA, created by a scientist after years of research. However, Mewtwo greatly differs from Mew in both size and personality and it is said to have the most twisted and savage heart among all Pokémon. Mewtwo has incredibly high combat abilities and uses Psychic-type attacks.''

{{bulbanews/2|Mewtwo announced for Super Smash Bros. 4|Mewtwo DLC release date and price for Super Smash Bros. revealed}}
Mewtwo returned as a downloadable bonus character. It was confirmed to be a playable character during the Super Smash Bros. for Wii U: 50-Fact Extravaganza on October 23, 2014. It was free for players who have bought both the 3DS and Wii U versions and have registered both to Club Nintendo by March 31, 2015, and those who received the code could redeem and download Mewtwo as early as April 14, 2015. However, Mewtwo was also purchasable for a small fee if one did not buy both games or did not register both to Club Nintendo. It became available to the public for purchase on April 28, 2015. On March 27, 2023 when the eShop closed, Mewtwo became unavailable.

Mewtwo is now voiced by Keiji Fujiwara, replacing Masachika Ichimura's work from ''Super Smash Bros. Melee''. As in ''Melee'', Mewtwo has fully voiced victory quotes in Japanese (which are re-recorded versions of its ''Melee ''quotes), which are removed for international versions. It continues to be based on [[Mewtwo (M01)|the original series' Mewtwo from the anime]], marking the character's first appearance in any new media since ''Melee'' itself as well as ''[[Mewtwo Returns]]''. Its attributes were tweaked from its ''Melee'' appearance, decreasing its weight but also improving its mobility and its special moves, making it a much more useful but more difficult character overall (especially with a multitude of buffs in the later patches of the game).

Mewtwo's [[Final Smash]] is its [[signature move]], {{m|Psystrike}}, performed after a [[Mega Evolution]] into Mega Mewtwo Y.

Mewtwo also appears in both versions as a normal trophy. Both versions of Mega Mewtwo appear as a single trophy in the Wii U version, with Mewtwo appearing as Mega Mewtwo Y (with a silhouette of its regular form) for its Final Smash trophy.

===Trophy information===
====Mewtwo (fighter)====
[[File:Mewtwo_fighter_3DS_trophy_SSB4.png|thumb|150px|Mewtwo (Fighter) trophy in ''Super Smash Bros. for 3DS'']]
'''NA:''' ''Mewtwo puts its psychic powers to great use in this game. Not only does it have floaty jumps, but its telekinesis gives its attacks extra reach and its throws added power. However, its light body makes it easy to launch, so if you're willing to take the risk of getting in close, it might just be worth it!''

'''PAL:''' ''Mewtwo puts its psychic powers to great use in this game. Not only can it float in midair, but its telekinesis gives its attacks extra reach and its throws added power. However, its light body makes it easy to launch, so if you're willing to take the risk of getting in close, it might just be worth it!''

====Mewtwo (Alt.)====
[[File:Mewtwo_Alt_3DS_trophy_SSB4.png|thumb|150px|Mewtwo (Alternate) trophy in ''Super Smash Bros. for 3DS'']]
'''NA:''' ''Mewtwo's Confusion side special not only repels projectiles—it also reflects the damage back on your opponent. Its down special, Disable, stuns an enemy for longer the higher its damage is. Disable only works on foes that are facing Mewtwo.''

'''PAL:''' ''Mewtwo's Confusion Side Special not only lets you repel projectiles, it also reflects the damage back on your opponent. Its Down Special, Disable, stuns an enemy for longer the higher its damage is. As it works by having Mewtwo glare at its foe, this only works if they make eye contact.''

====Psystrike====
''Mewtwo's Final Smash starts as Mewtwo Mega Evolves into Mega Mewtwo Y. It then fires a huge psychic projectile that penetrates enemies and obstacles. This projectile doesn't do any damage, but it freezes every foe it hits in place. They can even be frozen midjump! Afterward, every foe hit with this projectile will take a powerful psychic hit to the head.''

====Mewtwo (non-fighter)====
[[File:Mewtwo_3DS_trophy_SSB4.png|thumb|150px|Mewtwo trophy in ''Super Smash Bros. for 3DS'']]
''Created from modified Mew DNA, Mewtwo was designed to be the ultimate Pokémon. It didn't take on any of Mew's kinder traits and only uses its intelligence to destroy its enemies. Or...so it seems. Perhaps it just feels frightened or even tormented, and that's why it lashes out. Whatever the reason, Mewtwo is not to be messed with. ''

====Mega Mewtwo X & Y====
'''NA:''' ''It's almost no surprise that a Pokémon as powerful as Mewtwo wouldn't be limited to a single Mega Evolution. Mega Mewtwo X has strong arms and legs, while Mega Mewtwo Y has a whiplike, slender head. The differences aren't just physical - X brings improved fighting power, while Y can unleash even more psychic power.''

'''PAL:''' ''Mega Mewtwo comes in two forms rather than just one. Mega Mewtwo X has visibly strengthened limbs, which greatly boost its physical abilities in battle. Mega Mewtwo Y, on the other hand, has a whip-like tendril extending from the back of its head, which augments its psychic powers.''

==[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]==
[[File:150Mewtwo Dream 2.png|150px|thumb|Alternate Fighter Spirit artwork of Mewtwo in [[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]]]
Mewtwo appeared once again in Ultimate. By default, Mewtwo is the 61st character to be unlocked via VS matches, but can potentially be unlocked earlier by completing {{sbw|Classic Mode}} with {{lw|Fox McCloud}} as the last character unlocked to be unlocked within his Classic Mode unlock column after {{lw|Wolf O'Donnell}}.

{{SmashMoves|type=Psychic|game=Ultimate|Spe=Shadow Ball|SpeM=yes|SpeS=Confusion|SpeSM=yes|SpeU=Teleport|SpeUM=yes|SpeD=Disable|SpeDM=yes|FS=Psystrike}}

===Classic Mode===
Mewtwo's {{sbw|Classic Mode}} route is called '''Psychic Control'''. In it, after Mewtwo completes a round, one of its opponents joins it as an ally in the next fight in an alternate costume. This ally is often one, or represents one, that has been brainwashed in their series, and is likely a reference to ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'', where {{OBP|Mewtwo|M01}} controls a [[Nurse Joy]] to act as a proxy. Its various "allies" in each match also reference their home series, where they were either possessed or brainwashed into becoming evil or had to confront an evil copy of themselves in Pikachu's case.

Mewtwo fights both {{sbw|Master Hand}} and {{sbw|Crazy Hand}} regardless of difficulty.

===World of Light===
In the opening cutscene of World of Light, Mewtwo tried to reflect the beam of light with {{m|Confusion}}, alongside {{zw|Zelda}}, who used {{zw|Nayru's Love}}, but the light pierced through their special attacks and obliterated them regardless.

Mewtwo's fighter icon isn't found until the player reaches the World of Dark, in the Mysterious Dimension subarea. It appears after the player completes the fight with {{wk|Whispy Woods}}'s {{sbw|Spirits (characters)|spirit}}.

=={{sbw|Smash Taunt}} information==
==={{sbw|Palutena's Guidance}}===
====[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U]]====
While most characters have a unique Palutena's Guidance conversation starring the ''Kid Icarus'' characters, Mewtwo and other DLC characters share a generic conversation where the ''Kid Icarus'' characters note their lack of information on the fighter.
*'''{{ip|Pit}}:''' Who is THAT?
*'''{{ip|Palutena}}:''' I have no data on this fighter. I can't believe it!
*'''{{ip|Viridi}}:''' It must be an intruder from another dimension!
*'''Pit:''' Whoever it is, the goal remains the same: to fight and win!

====[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]====
Like all previous DLC fighters in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U, Mewtwo is now given a non-generic conversation in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.
*'''{{ip|Pit}}:''' That's Mewtwo, right?
*'''{{ip|Palutena}}:''' National Pokédex number 150. Mewtwo is a legendary Pokémon that was created by resequencing Mew's genes.
*'''{{ip|Viridi}}:''' I WILL NEVER FORGIVE THESE HUMANS!
*'''Pit:''' Poor thing. It's a walking science experiment.
*'''Palutena:''' Mewtwo is arguably the most powerful Pokémon in existence. Some people spend their entire lives trying to catch it.
*'''Viridi:''' It's an affront to nature and must be destroyed immediately! Think about it! Every action has a butterfly effect. Who knows what kind of impact it could have on the ecosystem!
*'''Pit:''' Grow a heart, Viridi! It didn't choose to be a freak of nature.
*'''Palutena:''' Feel sorry for it all you want, Pit, but don't underestimate it. Mewtwo's Confusion move can both flip opponents and reflect projectiles.

==Trivia==
* In the original Japanese versions of both Melee and 3DS/Wii U, Mewtwo has spoken victory quotes. These are removed in international versions:
** "私はなぜここにいるのか...？"/''"Watashi wa naze koko ni iru no ka...?"'' ("Why am I here?")
** "愚かな！"/''"Orokana!"'' ("Foolish!")
** "私はまけるわけにはいかない！"/''"Watashi wa makeru wake ni wa ikanai!"'' ("I cannot lose!")
* This Mewtwo appears to be based on the {{OBP|Mewtwo|M01}} of the {{pkmn|anime}}'s [[original series]], based on its ability to "speak" [[human]] language (as seen in Japanese versions only), its personality, its use of [[Shadow Ball]] as a signature move, and its design differences in 3DS/Wii U from its actual model in {{g|X and Y}}. Its voice actor in Melee is [[List of Japanese voice actors|Masachika Ichimura]], who voiced Mewtwo in the Japanese version of ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'' and was replaced with [[Keiji Fujiwara]] as a soundalike in 3DS/Wii U.
** [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P-zJOntZRHo Its DLC trailer] is also titled "Mewtwo Strikes Back".
* Despite Mewtwo's status at "the most powerful Pokémon of all time", it's ''Smash Bros.'' moveset mostly consists of attacking with dark, fiery energy and generic tail slaps, rather than demonstrating more of its canon abilities from the games and movie.
* This Mewtwo's appearance in 3DS/Wii U also references the {{OBP|Mewtwo|M16}} from ''[[Pokémon the Series: Black & White]]'', with its {{sbw|Boxing Ring}} title of "A Legend Reawakened" being a play on [[M16|the name of that Mewtwo's movie]], as well as its ability to Mega Evolve into Mega Mewtwo Y.
* In the Wii U version and Ultimate, Mewtwo doesn't actually climb the ladders, let alone touch them. Instead, it uses its {{t|Psychic}} powers to rise up or float down.
* Mewtwo's yellow palette swap in ''Smash 4'' and ''Ultimate'' is its {{Shiny}} form in [[Generation II]], while its purple palette swap resembles [[Shadow Lugia]].

'''Shadow Ball''' (Japanese: '''シャドーボール''' ''Shadow Ball'') is a damage-dealing {{type|Ghost}} [[move]] introduced in [[Generation II]].

It is:

* [[TM43]] in [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]].
* [[TR33]] in [[Pokémon Sword and Shield]].
* [[TM114]] in [[Generation IX]].

==Effect==
Shadow Ball deals damage and has a 20% chance of lowering the target's {{stat|Special Defense}} by one stage, despite the fact that it was a [[physical move]] prior to [[Generation IV]].

Pokémon with {{a|Bulletproof}} are unaffected by Shadow Ball.

===Generation VIII===
====Pokémon Legends: Arceus====
Shadow Ball's PP has been reduced to 10, and it has a 20% chance of lowering the target's defensive stats.

===[[Super Smash Bros.]] series===
{{sbw|Shadow Ball}} is {{SSB|Mewtwo}}'s standard special move. It is chargeable and moves in a zigzag fashion. Mewtwo holds its hands the same way it did in the movie when forming a Shadow Ball, but the ball itself has a unique design. The blue color of the ball resembles how it looked in ''Pokemon Gold'', ''Silver'' and ''Crystal''. In [[Super Smash Bros. Melee]], while Mewtwo charges, any enemy that touches the charging Shadow Ball gets damaged. This was changed in [[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U]], where it no longer can damage opponents while charging. Mewtwo also uses Shadow Ball on its opponent when {{sbw|throw}}ing them {{sbw|Forward throw|forwards}}.

{{SSB|Lucario}}, who debuted in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]], uses {{sbw|Aura Sphere}}, which functions similarly.

==={{g|UNITE}}===
In Pokémon UNITE, Shadow Ball is {{p|Gengar}}'s and {{p|Hoopa}}'s first move.

Gengar can obtain the move by reaching level 7 as {{p|Haunter}} and upgrading {{m|Will-O-Wisp}} into it instead of {{m|Sludge Bomb}}. The user hurls a shadowy ball forward in a line – damaging, slowing, and reducing the Special Defense of enemies hit. This ball pierces through wild Pokémon. At level 13, its damage increases.

Hoopa can obtain the move by upgrading {{m|Astonish}} at level 6 into it instead of {{m|Phantom Force}}. The move has the user unleash a shadowy blob in front of itself, dealing damage to opposing Pokémon it hits and decreasing their movement speed and Sp. Def for a short time. If the user then hits the same opposing Pokémon with a move or boosted attack within a set amount of time, it deals additional damage to the opposing Pokémon and leaves them unable to act for a short time. When using this move, if there is a nearby ally Pokémon linked by Trick, this move will also unleash a shadowy blob at the same target from that ally’s location. At level 12, the shadowy blob will now explode before it disappears. Opposing Pokémon hit by the explosion are affected as if they were hit by the shadowy blob itself. In Unbound form, this move is replaced by {{m|Hyperspace Fury}}.

==Trivia==
[[File:Cruik Muk Shadow Ball Colo.png|thumb|250px|Muk using Shadow Ball in Colosseum]]
* Due to Shadow Ball being a [[physical move]] prior to [[Generation IV]], Shadow Ball is the only damaging move to have ever dealt damage in a different [[Damage category|category]] from {{DL|Statistic|Special Defense|the target's defensive stat it lowers}}, excluding [[Max Move]]s.
* Shadow Ball was [[M01|introduced]] in the {{pkmn|anime}} prior to the {{pkmn|games}}.
* In {{g|Colosseum}}, in [[Mt. Battle Area 10]] in Battle Mode Singles as well as in [[Battle Now (Colosseum)|Battle Now]], {{tc|Cooltrainer}} Cruik's {{p|Muk}} knows Shadow Ball, although Muk cannot learn this move until Generation IV.
* In [[Generation III]] and {{LGPE}}, Shadow Ball was the only Ghost-type move that could be taught via [[TM]].
** In [[Generation VIII]], Shadow Ball is the only Ghost-type move that can be taught via [[TR]].
* Shadow Ball is the only Ghost-type move to be affected from the physical and special attack split from [[Generation III]] to [[Generation IV]].
** While {{m|Night Shade}} also became a special attack, Night Shade is a fixed damage attack and is not affected the same way Shadow Ball is gameplay wise.

Volt Tackle can be used as the second move of a [[Contest combination|Pokémon Contest combination]], with the user gaining 6 bonus appeal points if {{m|Charge}} was used in the previous turn.

===Generation IV onwards===
Volt Tackle now also has a 10% chance of {{status|paralyzing}} the target.

Volt Tackle can be used as part of a [[Contest combination|Contest Spectacular combination]], with the user gaining an extra three appeal points if {{m|Charge}} was used in the prior turn.

===Generation VIII===
====Pokémon Legends: Arceus====
Volt Tackle's PP has been reduced to 5. It has a 30% chance of paralyzing the target for three turns, and it will also cure the user of drowsiness.

==Learnset==
===By {{pkmn|breeding}}===
From {{game|Emerald}} onward, if either parent of a baby {{p|Pichu}} holds a [[Light Ball]] when the Egg is produced, the Pichu will know Volt Tackle when it hatches. However, Volt Tackle is not an [[Egg Move]], and cannot be passed down by simply breeding with a parent that knows the move. The only way for Pichu to hatch knowing Volt Tackle is for one of the parents to hold a Light Ball.

==In other games==
===[[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series]]===
Volt Tackle deals damage and the user receives recoil damage. In the [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team|Rescue Team]] and [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness|Explorers]] series, the recoil damage is equal to ⅛ of the user's maximum HP. From [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Gates to Infinity|Gates to Infinity]] onward, Volt Tackle may now cause {{DL|Status condition (Mystery Dungeon)|paralysis}} and the recoil damage is instead 20% of the user's max HP.

Since Volt Tackle can only be learnt as an [[Egg Move]] in the [[core series]] games, it is taught differently in the Mystery Dungeon games:
* In [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team]], {{p|Pichu}} can learn Volt Tackle at level 50 if it has at least 333 [[IQ]] points (7.5 stars). If this requirement is not met until after reaching level 50, Volt Tackle can be relearned at the {{DL|Pokémon Square|Gulpin Link Shop}}.
* In [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time, Darkness]], and [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky|Sky]], where Egg Moves are commonly present, {{p|Pichu}} that hatch from Eggs may know Volt Tackle.
* In {{g|Mystery Dungeon: Gates to Infinity}}, {{p|Pichu}}, {{p|Pikachu}}, and {{p|Raichu}} can learn Volt Tackle by [[TM]]. The TM is obtained once Paradise reaches [[Rank (Mystery Dungeon)#Paradise Rank|Perfect Rank]].
* In {{g|Super Mystery Dungeon}}, {{p|Pichu}}, {{p|Pikachu}}, and {{p|Raichu}} can learn Volt Tackle at [[Hawlucha's Slam School]] by paying [[File:Poké currency.png|link=Poké]]10,000.
* In {{g|Mystery Dungeon: Rescue Team DX}}, {{p|Pichu}}, {{p|Pikachu}}, and {{p|Raichu}} can learn Volt Tackle at the [[Gulpin Link Shop]] by paying [[File:Poké currency.png|link=Poké]]11,000, after completing the main story.

Since [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]], {{sbw|Volt Tackle}} has been {{OBP|Pikachu|Super Smash Bros.}}'s [[Final Smash]]. When used, instead of charging forward while covered in electricity, Pikachu will be enveloped by a blue ball of electricity and flies around. The ball does major damage and can even pass through platforms, though it is very hard to control. Despite it taking damage from Volt Tackle in the core series, Pikachu takes no damage from the move when used in the Super Smash Bros. series.

In [[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U]], Volt Tackle is led by a smaller orb of light the player controls, making it easier to track. In [[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]], the returning fighter {{SSB|Pichu}} also gains Volt Tackle as its Final Smash; like Pichu's other electrical moves, it deals damage to it after use. Damaging Pichu makes this version of Volt Tackle more accurate to the Pokemon games. Like many other Final Smashes in Ultimate, Volt Tackle has been made fully automatic and faster, making it easier to execute and allowing players to return to fighting faster.

====Trophy information====
''"Pikachu, transformed into a ball of light that can slam into foes. It can also fly to chase down those who try to jump out of range. Sparks get stronger when you press the attack button. However, its increased inertia makes midair movement tough. If you get carried away flying, the effect will end, and you'll destroy yourself. Be careful it doesn't happen to you."''

==Trivia==
* Volt Tackle's Japanese name, ボルテッカー ''Volteccer'', comes from an attack used by [[List of references to Pulseman|Pulseman]], the protagonist of {{wp|Pulseman|the Game Freak game of the same name}}.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iA91WPotG2I GAME FREAK Illustration Demonstration: Episode One [Ken Sugimori x Pulseman<nowiki>]</nowiki> - YouTube]</ref> Both attacks are in reference to {{wp|Tekkaman}}, whose signature attack is called Voltekka.
* In the [[Pokémon Adventures]] [[Pokémon manga|manga]], when Volt Tackle first appeared in [[PS180|''The Last Battle XIV'']], albeit in a much different fashion than most other [[canon|canons]], {{adv|Gold}} named it ''Super Rising Thunder''. In [[PS336|a future round]], however, the move has its [[core series]] name and, unlike before, it is depicted more like a [[physical move]] than a [[special move|special]] one.

==Blurb==

Dawn and her friends are passing through a town on their way to the Celestic Contest when they see Zoey in the middle of a tough battle with a well-dressed Coordinator. Zoey's Glameow is beaten by her opponent's Mismagius, and this stranger introduces herself as Fantina—the Hearthome Gym Leader herself! She's traveling as a Pokémon Trainer to become a better Gym Leader and perfect her own style, so she's not interested when Ash requests a Gym battle and Jessie (disguised as the reporter Jessedia) requests some interview time. But Fantina is willing to battle Ash in a friendly three-on-three battle, starting with her Drifloon against Ash's Buizel.

The battle's barely started when Drifloon hits Buizel with Hypnosis, putting it to sleep. By the time Buizel finally wakes up, it's too exhausted to battle! Next up is Chimchar, but Drifloon uses Psychic to stop Chimchar's Flamethrower and follows up with Hypnosis yet again. Now Chimchar falls sleep, too! Now it's up to good ol' Pikachu to save the day—if it can. Pikachu confidently launches a Volt Tackle that's slowed to a crawl and then reversed by Drifloon's Ominous Wind. Pikachu strikes back with Thunderbolt, but that just sparks Drifloon's Evolution into Drifblim!

Drifblim uses its aerial mobility to dodge Pikachu's Thunderbolt, then uses Hypnosis again! With Pikachu sleeping like a baby, Ash's team is unable to battle. Ash is bummed by the loss, but Fantina promises him a battle at the Hearthome Gym and even agrees to someday battle Dawn as well. That night, Jessie, hoping Yanmega can learn Drifblim's moves, shows her Pokémon the videos of Fantina's battle, while Zoey shows Dawn her third Ribbon. Now that Fantina has given them some new challenges to consider, Dawn and Ash are ready to get back on the road to Celestic Town!

==Plot==
While passing through a small town, {{ash}} and {{ashfr}} stop to watch [[Zoey]] {{pkmn|battle}} an unfamiliar {{pkmn|Trainer}}, who is actually the {{ci|Hearthome}} [[Gym Leader]] [[Fantina]]. {{TP|Zoey|Glameow}} attempts to dodge a {{p|Mismagius}}'s {{m|Psybeam}}, but gets hit and {{status|confusion|confused}}. The trio call out to Glameow, getting Zoey's attention. Zoey orders a {{m|Shock Wave}}, but since Glameow is confused it misses. Glameow recovers and fires off another Shock Wave, but it is blocked by a {{m|Magical Leaf}} from Mismagius, and then the whole lot is sent back at Glameow with a {{m|Psywave}}. The [[Contest combination|combination]] knocks out Glameow, and the two battlers exchange compliments. As they shake hands, {{an|Brock}} butts in and professes his love for the other Trainer, including mimicking her accent; however {{TP|Brock|Croagunk}} {{m|Poison Jab|stops}} him. Zoey introduces them to Fantina, informing {{Ash}} that she is the Hearthome Gym Leader as well as a [[Top Coordinator]]. Fantina mentions that she has become a traveling Trainer, and so had no choice but to leave the Gym empty while she is away.

{{TRT}}, who have been listening in, discuss Fantina. [[James]] mentions that the "job description" reminds him of [[Juan|another Gym Leader]]. [[Jessie]] decides that they need to figure out Fantina's style so she can copy it to win {{pkmn|Contest}}s.

In the nearby [[Pokémon Center]] Ash tries to persuade Fantina to go back to the Gym so that he can challenge her. Jessie, [[List of Team Rocket's disguises|disguised as reporter Jessadia]] and flanked by her teammates as the camera crew, then butts in and tries to get Fantina to talk about her role as a Gym Leader, but Fantina brushes them off, saying that she needs to go and train. Zoey suggests that they will understand better if Fantina tells them why she became a traveling Trainer. Fantina explains that with a lot of hard work, she was able to win the [[Grand Festival]] with her {{p|Misdreavus}}, earning the title of Top Coordinator. Afterwards, she was invited to become a Gym Leader, and the [[Hearthome Gym]] was opened. However eventually some of the Trainers would defeat her in a [[rematch]], even [[Alan]] and his [[Probopass]], and she felt that she wasn't giving them a good enough battle. Brock states that he understands exactly how she feels from when he was the [[Pewter City]] Gym Leader. Fantina also states that she has been working on a new battle style which incorporates the beauty of a [[Contest Battle]] and the ferocity of a Gym match. She agrees to a battle, as one of the first things that traveling Trainers do. However her Pokémon are too tired for two battles, so Ash and {{an|Dawn}} use the Coin Toss app on her [[Pokétch]].

Dawn is fuming that she lost the Coin Toss as Ash and Fantina get ready for battle. Ash suggests that the battle should be three-on-three with substitutions, over when all the Pokémon on one team are unable to battle. Fantina agrees and Dawn uses another Coin Toss to decide who should start the battle. Fantina wins the toss and goes first, while Jessie tells James to only focus the camera on Fantina. After Fantina holds up a {{i|Poké Ball}}, Ash sends out {{AP|Buizel}} and Fantina sends out her {{TP|Fantina|Drifloon}}, which she has raised since it was a baby. Drifloon whips up an {{m|Ominous Wind}}. Buizel counters with {{m|Water Gun}}, but Drifloon dodges and hits Buizel. Buizel breaks out of the attack and hits Drifloon with {{m|Aqua Jet}}. Drifloon puts Buizel to {{status|sleep}} with {{m|Hypnosis}}, before winching him up into the sky, following up with {{m|Psychic}}. Buizel wakes up, but then promptly faints. Ash sends out {{AP|Chimchar}}, who opens with a {{m|Flamethrower}}, but Drifloon stops it with Psychic and plays around with it before using {{m|Will-O-Wisp}} and following up with Hypnosis. Chimchar struggles to stay awake, but falls asleep. Ash immediately [[recall]]s Chimchar and Dawn comments that it was good that Ash got Chimchar back in its Poké Ball, but Brock points out that unlike confusion, Pokémon continue to sleep even after they are returned to their Poké Ball.

Ash sends out {{AP|Pikachu}}, knowing that if Pikachu falls asleep the battle is as good as over. Drifloon hits Pikachu with Will-O-Wisp and Pikachu retaliates with {{m|Thunderbolt}}, hitting Drifloon. Pikachu leaps into a {{m|Volt Tackle}}, but Drifloon blocks his advance and pushes him backwards with Ominous Wind. Ash calls for another Thunderbolt. It hits, but doesn't help as it simply causes Drifloon to [[evolution|evolve]] into {{p|Drifblim}}. Dawn checks it on her [[Pokédex]], then Pikachu uses Thunderbolt but Drifblim dodges. Fantina has her Pokémon move into close range and put Pikachu to sleep with Hypnosis. Ash forfeits the match, and the Trainers exchange compliments. Fantina says that she will return to the Hearthome Gym to do a bit of work with her Drifblim, agreeing to have a battle with Ash when he gets there. Dawn also asks for a match sometime, and Fantina agrees to it.

That night, Team Rocket show the footage of the battle to {{TP|Jessie|Yanmega}} and Jessie asks it to dodge like Drifblim, but Yanmega says that it can't. James and {{MTR}} point out that Yanmega and Drifloon are very different Pokémon, but Jessie remarks that some special training will help.

Back at the Pokémon Center, Zoey shows Dawn that she has won her third [[Ribbon]]. She says that she won't be entering the [[Celestic Town]] Contest, but will be there to cheer Dawn on. Meanwhile, Ash is sitting on the floor surrounded by his Pokémon as he tries to figure out a way to counter Drifblim's Hypnosis. Dawn is equally determined to win her upcoming Contest, as she and Ash proclaim that some more training is in order.

===Errors===
* In the {{pmin|Poland|Polish}} dub, {{m|Ominous Wind}} is mistranslated as "''Ominous Mind''".

'''Mewtwo''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ミュウツー''' ''Mewtwo'') is a {{type|Psychic}} [[Legendary Pokémon]] introduced in [[Generation I]].

While it is not known to [[evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon, Mewtwo can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into two different forms:

* '''Mega Mewtwo X''' using [[Mewtwonite X]].
* '''Mega Mewtwo Y''' using [[Mewtwonite Y]].

It is associated with {{p|Mew}}, and thus they are collectively referred to as the [[Mew duo]] by fans.

==Biology==
Mewtwo is an [[artificial Pokémon]]. It is a bipedal, humanoid {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with some feline features. Its body is primarily gray with a long, purple tail and a large purple underbelly. On top of its head are two short, blunt horns, and it has purple eyes. A tube extends from the back of its skull to the top of its spine, bypassing its neck. It has a defined chest and shoulders, which resemble a breastplate. The three digits on each hand and foot have spherical tips. Its tail is thick at the base but thins before ending in a small bulb.

According to [[Pokémon Mansion journals|journals]] found in [[Kanto]]'s {{ka|Pokémon Mansion}}, after discovering the [[Mythical Pokémon]] {{p|Mew}} and gathering some of its DNA, [[Mr. Fuji]] used it in his mansion to create Mewtwo, a modified clone of Mew with the goal to making it the most powerful Pokémon of all. It was held and studied in the mansion where horrific gene-splicing experiments were made making the Pokémon vicious and extremely powerful. It eventually broke free and fled the Mansion, destroying it in the process. It is widely known as one of the most powerful Pokémon in existence and is said to have the most savage heart among all Pokémon, lacking compassion and {{a|Pressure|striking fear into its enemy with cold, glowing eyes}}. Mewtwo conserves energy by remaining motionless in order to unleash its full power in battle. Because it was engineered to be the ultimate opponent in battle, it can only think of defeating its foes. Though rarely seen in the wild, it is said to be resting in a [[Cerulean Cave|dark]] {{kal|Unknown Dungeon|cave}} somewhere.

In ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'', a {{OBP|Mewtwo|M01}} exemplified its vicious characteristics. It was shown to be capable of levitation, telepathy, mind control, memory erasure, teleporting others to another location, and the creation of powerful storms. However, it was [[Mewtwo Returns|later shown]] to be caring, protective, and even altruistic. Another {{OBP|Mewtwo|M16}} in ''[[M16|Genesect and the Legend Awakened]]'' also shared its aversion to contact with others but was much less belligerent. As shown in [[POKÉMON Detective Pikachu]], Mewtwo can also transfer a [[human]]'s soul into a Pokémon's body provided that said Pokémon is in a crazed state, causing this person to gain control of the Pokémon's body and abilities. {{OBP|Mewtwo|M01|It}} possesses a rivalry with {{OBP|Mew|M01}}. As seen in ''Genesect and the Legend Awakened'', Mewtwo can breathe in outer space. In the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga, it's revealed {{adv|Mewtwo}}'s creation wasn't possible with the amount of Mew's cells gathered, so to complete it, [[human]] cells was used instead, specifically from the [[Team Rocket]] [[Team Rocket scientists|scientist]], [[Blaine]]. Due to Blaine possessing some of Mewtwo's cells as well, the two became linked, which granted Blaine to ability to track its whereabouts at the cost of slowly taking his life.

Mewtwo is the [[signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Psystrike}}.

;Shadow Mewtwo
A unique {{pkmn2|variant}} of Mewtwo, called [[Shadow Mewtwo]], is very similar to standard Mewtwo, but with dark gray skin, a dark gray tail with a yellowish orange tip, and a shard of [[Shadow Synergy Stone]] coming out of its shoulder. In the past, {{OBP|Anne|Pokkén}} was almost possessed by a Shadow Synergy Stone but was saved by Mewtwo, whom the Shadow Synergy Stone took control of and merged with instead. Under the stone's influence, Shadow Mewtwo travelled around [[Ferrum]], draining Gaia Power from other normal [[Synergy Stone]]s, which continuously increases its power.

===Forms===
Mewtwo has two forms. Mewtwo can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into either Mega Mewtwo X or Mega Mewtwo Y. Additionally, Shadow Mewtwo can Mega Evolve into Shadow Mega Mewtwo X by using [[Ferrum#Synergy Burst|Synergy Burst]].

[[File:Mega Mewtwo X arm.jpeg|thumb|left|250px|Mega Mewtwo X stretching its arm.]]
[[Mega Evolution|Mega]] Mewtwo X is larger and bulkier than its normal state. The horns on its head are longer and extend from V-shaped ridges on its forehead. Additionally, the horns are now pointed and curve upward. It now has two tubes behind its neck, its eyes are light blue, and it has large, purple growths over its shoulders. Its torso is smooth and small compared to its long, bulky limbs, and a Y-shaped line connects the collar and underbelly. Its forearms and thighs each have two raised ridges and its digits are now longer and thinner. Its tail is slightly shorter and stiffer than before and has a curled tip. Its muscles are augmented with psychic power, giving it a grip strength of one ton and the ability to sprint 100 meters in two seconds. When using moves in battle, it is shown to be able to stretch its arms and legs.


Shadow Mega Mewtwo X greatly resembles its normal counterpart, though it maintains its dark gray coloring due to the influence of the Shadow Synergy Stone. The stone's infection spreads not only to its tail, but to both of its shoulder growths, its arm ridges, and the tips of its ears. Additionally, the Y-shaped line running across its body (now including its legs) glows the same yellowish-orange color.

Mega Mewtwo Y is smaller and lighter, losing its long tail, underbelly, and the tube behind its neck. However, it grows a long, purple appendage with a curled tip from the back of its head that is similar to its previous form's tail and also slightly resembles [[Jessie|Jessie's]] hairstyle. On its head, it has two pointed, backward-curving spikes and a half-ring structure connecting to the base of each and crossing over the top of its head. Its eyes are now red and slightly larger. The digits on its hands and feet are now purple and more bulbous and the middle toe is longer than the others. A bumpy ridge similar to a {{wp|sternum}} replaces the breastplate structure on its chest, but this form is still largely smoother than the other two. Despite its decreased size, it has phenomenal mental power and is capable of smashing buildings with a mere thought.

==Game data==
===NPC appearances===
{{spoilers}}
* {{g|Sword and Shield}}: Powerful, uncatchable Mewtwo were part of a [[Wild Area News]] event from {{DL|Wild Area News|February 27 to March 1, 2020}} as part of a tie-in with [[Pokémon Day]]. If players could defeat these Level 100 [[Dynamax]] Mewtwo in [[Max Raid Battle]]s, they received rare and valuable rewards.
* [[Pokémon Stadium]]: [[Pokémon Stadium#Vs. Mewtwo|Mewtwo]] is the player's final opponent.
* {{g|Pinball}}: Mewtwo appears in its own bonus stage, where the player must attempt to hit it 25 times within the two-minute time limit to win. Playing this stage repeatedly is the fastest way to build a high score, due to the extremely high point output of 50,000,000 points per hit earned by hitting Mewtwo.
* [[Pokémon Ranger: Guardian Signs]]: Mewtwo is the final boss of the game, battled once under the control of the evil [[Edward]] "The Thinker", and again under [[Purple Eyes]]. Before this, it is seen charging up in [[Kasa]]'s laboratory in the [[Sky Fortress]].
* {{g|Puzzle League}}: {{OBP|Mewtwo|M01}} reveals that it organized the Puzzle League to find a worthy foe and clones {{Ash}}'s Pokémon. In the Very Hard and Super Hard modes, Mewtwo is the final opponent.
* [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team]]: Mewtwo sleeps in the depths of the [[Western Cave]]. His slumber is interrupted by the arrival of Blastoise and [[Team A.C.T.|Charizard]], whom he defeats without an issue. Once the player confronts him at the deepest parts of the cave, it is possible to recruit Mewtwo.
* {{g|Super Mystery Dungeon}}: Mewtwo appears, having [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolved]] into Mega Mewtwo Y in order to telepathically link up the Pokémon of the world together to try and stop the [[Tree of Life]]'s ascent into space. Like all the other [[Legendary Pokémon]] gathered for this effort, Mewtwo is turned into stone when [[Dark Matter]] is able to regenerate itself. After Dark Matter's defeat, Mewtwo stays at the [[Island of Isolation]] as its lone inhabitant, and can be recruited if it is defeated.
* {{g|Quest}}: A telepathic Mewtwo appears as the final boss of Pokémon Quest. It is trapped (in a vague, undefined manner) in the [[Chamber of Legends]]. It discretely takes control of [[MoBee]] to talk to the [[player (Quest)|player]], in order to lure the player across [[Tumblecube Island]] and collect the {{OBP|statue|Quest}}s that open the Chamber. Once encountered it battles the player's Pokémon to test itself. It did not recover fully from the time it was sealed away, and the player defeats it in battle. After being defeated, Mewtwo departs from the island. After the credits, it telepathically informs the player about [[Happenstance Island]].

{{spoilers}}
Similar to the {{pkmn|anime}}, Mewtwo was created by [[Team Rocket]] in [[Pokémon Adventures]]. It first appeared in ''[[PS016|Tauros the Tyrant]]'' at [[Team Rocket Hideout|Team Rocket's hideout]], where it was still incomplete. It was completed by [[Blaine]] sometime before ''[[PS034|And Mewtwo Too?!]]'', where it escaped from the hideout and settled into [[Cerulean Cave]]. The completion process involved Blaine using cells from his own arm, inadvertently also placing some of Mewtwo's cells into it. {{adv|Red}} and Blaine battled Mewtwo together, with Red eventually capturing it with Blaine's [[Master Ball]] in ''[[PS035|And Mewtwo... Three!]]'' and leaving it under the [[Gym Leader]]'s care.

Mewtwo also made further appearances in later arcs of the manga. In the {{MangaArc|Yellow}}, it assisted {{adv|Yellow}} and Blaine in battling against [[Lance]] on [[Cerise Island]]. In ''[[PS162|Heckled by Hitmontop]]'', {{DL|Legendary beasts (Adventures)|Entei}} burned away the Mewtwo cells in Blaine's body, allowing Mewtwo to live on its own and become a [[wild Pokémon]] again. It returned in the {{MangaArc|FireRed & LeafGreen}}, teaming up with Red, the only person to have put it in a [[Poké Ball]], to fight against {{adv|Giovanni}} and his {{adv|Deoxys}}. During this appearance, it was revealed to have gained the ability to {{pkmn2|talking|talk}} telepathically.

In the {{MangaArc|X & Y}}, Mewtwo reappeared in [[Kalos]], having reunited with Blaine and become the protector of [[Pokémon Village]]. When [[Team Flare]] started capturing Pokémon from the village, Mewtwo attacked [[Lysandre]] and fought the {{adv|Zygarde}} under his control, demonstrating its ability [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into both of its Mega forms in the process.

==Trivia==
[[File:Shadow Mewtwo.png|thumb|100px|Shadow Mewtwo's unique aura]]
* One of the [[Pokémon Mansion journals]] states Mewtwo's birthday is February 6.
** The same journal implies {{p|Mew}} was impregnated with the modified clone, just like with real-life cloning. All other depictions show Mewtwo being grown using laboratory equipment.
* Mewtwo comes before Mew in the [[Pokédex]] despite being created from its modified DNA.
* Even though Mewtwo is a clone of Mew, a Mythical Pokémon, Mewtwo is a Legendary Pokémon.
* Mewtwo was the first Pokémon seen in the English [[dub]], as it appears at the very beginning of the [[Pokémon Theme|first dub opening]].
* Mewtwo has the most {{pkmn|anime}} opening appearances of any [[Legendary Pokémon]], with seven in Japan.
* Mewtwo and {{p|Charizard}} share several [[Mega Evolution]] similarities. Both Pokémon are the only ones to have two Mega Evolutions instead of one. Both of their Y Mega Evolutions were revealed before their X ones. Both Pokémon change their typing in their X Mega Evolutions while they remain the same type in their Y Mega Evolutions. Both X Mega Evolutions are physically oriented while their Y Mega Evolutions are specially oriented.
* Mewtwo is depicted on the door of [[Bill]]'s lighthouse in ''[[EP013|Mystery at the Lighthouse]]'', despite having only been seen by [[Team Rocket scientists|its creators]] and [[Team Rocket]] at that point in the anime. Similarly, Mewtwo's sprite was depicted as a portrait in [[Viridian Gym]], despite being a public area.
* The island country of {{wp|Niue}} released a one-dollar coin featuring Mewtwo as part of a commemorative promotion for the Pokémon franchise, with Mewtwo on the reverse side and the nation's crest on the obverse.
* Mewtwo was originally depicted as the only member of its species, being a clone of Mew. In the {{pkmn|anime}} and {{pkmn|manga}}, however, it is implied that multiple Mewtwo have been created.
* Mega Mewtwo Y was the first [[Mega Evolution]] revealed to the public.
** It was also the first to appear in the anime, even before Mega Evolution was announced.
** Prior to the announcement of Mega Evolution, Mega Mewtwo Y was referred to as its 「覚醒した姿」 ''Awakened Form''.<ref>[http://wayback.archive.org/web/20130618180918/http://www.pokemon.co.jp/info/2013/06/130615_m02.html?a001=news ポケモン映画最新作『神速のゲノセクトミュウツー覚醒』へと続くオリジナルストーリーが、テレビで放送決定！]</ref> This term was also used in the {{ma|Genesect and the Legend Awakened|manga adaptation of the movie}}.
** Mega Mewtwo Y was designed by [[Tomohiro Kitakaze]].<ref>[https://twitter.com/kitakazeee/status/1149513798115459073 Tweet by 北風友裕 (@kitakazeee).] Posted on July 12, 2019.</ref>
* Mewtwo's Mega Evolutions are tied with Mega {{p|Rayquaza}} for the highest base stat total of all Pokémon, with 780, excluding the unobtainable [[List of Pokémon with form differences#Eternatus|Eternamax]] {{p|Eternatus}}.
** Mega Mewtwo X has the highest base {{stat|Attack}} of all Pokémon, as well as the highest single base stat and base {{stat|Special Attack}} of all {{type|Fighting}} Pokémon.
*** Mega Mewtwo X's Attack increase is the largest single stat increase of all Mega Evolutions, at 80 points.
** Mega Mewtwo Y has the highest base Special Attack of all Pokémon and the highest single base stat of all Psychic-type Pokémon.
*** With a Mild [[Nature]], perfect [[IV]]s, and optimized [[EV]]s, a [[Level]] 100 Mega Mewtwo Y's stats sum to 2038, the highest sum of any Pokémon.
* In [[Pokémon GO]], Shadow Mewtwo is the only {{OBP|Shadow Pokémon|GO}} that has a different aura from the other Shadow Pokémon that isn't an Apex Shadow; instead of purple fire, it is surrounded by an aura resembling its Psychic power. It does not have a unique appearance when purified, however.
* In {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}, {{pkmn2|wild}} Mewtwo are programmed to always be holding a [[Berserk Gene]], but Mewtwo can't be obtained in those games without trading. Even if Mewtwo could be found in the wild, the Berserk Gene would be consumed immediately, so the item wouldn't be obtainable.
* {{p|Lugia}} and {{p|Ho-Oh}}'s base stats are based on Mewtwo's, with some values swapped.

===Origin===
Like Mew, Mewtwo has some {{wp|embryo}} characteristics, but its body structure is much larger as a result of {{wp|Recombinant DNA|gene splicing}}. It also has some characteristics of a {{wp|grey alien}} and a {{wp|salamander}}.

Mega Mewtwo Y, much like Mew, has characteristics of a vertebrate {{wp|embryo}}.

====Name origin====
Mewtwo may be a combination of ''{{p|Mew}}'' or ''mutant (ミュータント)'' and ''two''.

'''Greavard''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ボチ''' ''Bochi'') is a {{type|Ghost}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation IX]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Houndstone}} when [[level]]ed up at [[Time-based Evolution|night]] starting at [[level]] 30.

==Biology==
Greavard is a quadrupedal canine Pokémon whose body is covered in long, shaggy pale grey hair that reaches down to its legs. Its large snout peeks under the hair covering most of its head, and contains a black triangular nose and a wide, jagged mouth powerful enough to shatter bones.<ref name=SVsite/> Rather than having actual teeth, Greavard instead has serrated lips. It has stubby limbs and large round feet, and it has a slight waddle to its walk. Its rear has a thin wispy tail. On the top of its head is a protrusion resembling a candle, which burns with a small purplish-yellow light.

Greavard usually rests underground, with the candle-like part of its head left uncovered, as it waits for people to come nearby. If it is approached, it jumps out of the ground and lets a spooky cry that may unintentionally startle most people. Greavard is friendly, affectionate and easily gets lonely. It is really easy to befriend, and will forever follow anyone who gives it the slightest of attention. However, it is advised not to play with Greavard too often, as it is known to slowly and unwittingly drain the life-force of those near it.<ref name=SVsite>[https://scarletviolet.pokemon.com/en-us/pokemon/greavard/ Greavard — Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet | Official Website]</ref> It is rumored that Greavard is the reincarnation of a dog Pokémon that had never interacted with a human and died in the wild. Greavard primarily lives in boreal mountains.

===Evolution===
Greavard evolves into {{p|Houndstone}}.

(For specifics on this Pokémon's Evolution in the games, refer to [[#Evolution data|Game data→Evolution data]].)

==Trivia==
* Greavard and its evolution were designed by [[Kazuyuki Kurashima]].<ref>[https://twitter.com/kurashimakaz/status/1604174633065816066 Kazuyuki Kurashima on Twitter]</ref><ref>[https://twitter.com/kurashimakaz/status/1604180891311280129 Kazuyuki Kurashima on Twitter]</ref>
* Greavard, along with {{p|Shedinja}}, {{p|Duskull}}, and {{rf|Galarian}} {{p|Yamask}}, has the lowest base {{stat|Special Attack}} stat of all {{type|Ghost}} Pokémon.
* Greavard is tied with {{p|Cleffa}} and {{p|Pawmi}} for having the shortest Japanese name of all Pokémon, being spelt with only two kana.
* Greavard was first teased on October 24, 2022, through a video on the official Pokémon Twitter account, which briefly showed it in its buried state.<ref>[https://twitter.com/Pokemon/status/1584600698028969984 Tweet by Pokémon (@Pokemon).] Posted on October 24, 2022.</ref> It was properly revealed on October 25, 2022.<ref>"[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PF5UzdmOzPs A new Ghost-type Pokémon appeared in Paldea!]" [https://www.youtube.com/c/pokemon The Official Pokémon YouTube Channel]. ''YouTube''.</ref>

===Origin===
Greavard seems to be mainly based on the Iberian {{wp|Catalan Sheepdog}}, but could also take inspiration from other long-haired dog breeds such as the {{wp|Briard}} or the {{wp|Komondor}}. Its habit of burying itself underground and popping out to surprise people is reminiscent of depictions of the {{wp|undead}} rising from their graves. In its buried state, the candle-like protrusion above its head appears to be a stand-in for a {{wp|grave candle}} and also resembles a {{wp|bone}}.

Greavard may also be based on various of the numerous dogs from {{wp|Spanish mythology|Spanish mythology and folklore}}, such as the {{wp|Pesanta}} or the {{wp|Dip (Catalan myth)|Dip}}, dog-shaped spirits from {{wp|Catalan myths and legends|Catalan mythology}} known for draining human vitality. The long white fur and the grave candle may also point to the {{wp|Santa Compaña}} as a possible origin, as they are wearing white, hooded cloaks and carrying candles.

Greavard's candle and dog-like appearance may be a reference to the process of {{wp|Rendering (animal products)|rendering}} animal fat into {{wp|tallow}}, which was historically used to make candles and leaves behind a solid material called greaves that is often used as dog food.

====Name origin====
Greavard may be a combination of ''graveyard'', ''grieve'', ''{{wp|Tallow|greaves}}'' (a byproduct of a historical method of candlemaking; typically used as dog food), and ''{{wp|Briard}}'' (a long-haired dog breed).

Bochi may be derived from 墓地 ''bochi'' (graveyard). It may also derive from ポチ ''Pochi'' (a common name for a pet dog in Japan) or ひとりぼっち ''hitoribocchi'' (loneliness).

'''Toxtricity''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ストリンダー''' ''Strinder'') is a dual-type {{2t|Electric|Poison}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation VIII]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Toxel}} starting at [[level]] 30. The [[#Form data|form]] it evolves into depends on its [[Nature]] (unaffected by [[mint]]s).
* Toxel evolves into '''Amped Form''' Toxtricity if its Nature is Hardy, Brave, Adamant, Naughty, Docile, Impish, Lax, Hasty, Jolly, Naive, Rash, Sassy, or Quirky.
* Toxel evolves into '''Low Key Form''' Toxtricity if its Nature is Lonely, Bold, Relaxed, Timid, Serious, Modest, Mild, Quiet, Bashful, Calm, Gentle, or Careful.

Toxtricity has a [[Gigantamax]] form, which is the same regardless of its form. It can Gigantamax into '''Gigantamax Toxtricity''' if it has the {{DL|Gigantamax|Gigantamax Factor}}.

==Biology==
Toxtricity is a bipedal, lizard or salamander-like {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with two forms. Both Amped Form and Low Key Form Toxtricity have purple-colored bodies and white eyes with black irises. Both forms also have four spikes on the back, four spikes on each wrist, and a crescent-shaped body part with seven spikes on the waist.

Amped Form Toxtricity has a slouched posture. It has a yellow underbelly, yellow stripes on its legs, and yellow accents on its back, palms, and soles. It also has a yellow electric frill that extends from its snout to its neck. Two additional electric spikes protrude from its back. It has four horns: two smaller ones above its eyes, and two larger ones on the sides of its head. Six organs protrude from its chest. Amped Form Toxtricity are known to be short-tempered and extremely confident. This form aggressively attacks anything that makes eye contact with it.<ref name="Amped">[https://swordshield.pokemon.com/en-us/pokemon-galar-region/toxtricity-amped-form/ Toxtricity (Amped Form) | Official Website | Pokémon Sword and Pokémon Shield]</ref>

Low Key Form Toxtricity has an upright posture, with its neck standing tall. It has a light blue underbelly, light blue stripes on its legs, and light blue accents on its back, palms, and soles. It has a large fin-like horn in front of its face, and two smaller horns on the sides of its head. Its two light blue electric frills run from the base of its larger horn, and down to its neck. Four organs protrude from its chest. Low Key Form Toxtricity are known to be selfish and dismissive of others and have high regard towards their strength. Unlike its Amped Form counterpart, Low Key Form Toxtricity prefers to taunt opponents into fighting it when making eye contact with them.<ref name="LowKey">[https://swordshield.pokemon.com/en-us/pokemon-galar-region/toxtricity-low-key-form/ Toxtricity (Low Key Form) | Official Website | Pokémon Sword and Pokémon Shield]</ref>

By clawing at the organs on their chests, both forms of Toxtricity can generate over 15,000 volts of electricity, as well as sound. The sounds they make resemble those of electric string instruments: a standard guitar for Amped Form, and a bass guitar for Low Key Form. Toxtricity chugs stagnant water to absorb the dissolved toxins, which it then breaks down in order to generate electricity. Toxtricity is the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Overdrive}}, as well as the [[Signature Ability|only known Pokémon]] that can have {{a|Punk Rock}} as an [[Ability]].

===Forms===
[[File:849Toxtricity-Gigantamax 2.png|left|thumb|200px|Gigantamax Toxtricity attacking with its guitar-shaped electric mass]]
Toxtricity has three forms: Amped Form, Low Key Form, and [[Gigantamax]] Toxtricity.

Toxtricity's two forms share the same Gigantamax form. As Gigantamax Toxtricity, it has a larger appearance that resembles a combination of its two forms. It walks on all fours, but it is also capable of standing on its hind legs. It has a dark purple body with a dark pink underbelly and dark pink accents on its back, soles, and hind legs. Its spikes and the crescent-shaped body part on its waist turn bright pink, and from its waist grows a tail resembling a {{wp|transmission tower}}, and two protrusions that resemble conductor coils. Three red clouds surround its tail. It has four horns on its head, and three large electric frills that run from between its horns down to its back: a yellow one at the center, and two light blue ones flanking it on either side. Its eyes have light blue sclerae and yellow pupils, which extend outside of its sclerae, resembling stars. Its chest has two light blue and four yellow organs protruding.

Gigantamax Toxtricity's main weapon is its excessive electric energy, which contains more electricity than a thundercloud. It can store up to one million liters of poison. This poison penetrates Gigantamax Toxtricity's brain and causes it to go berserk, leaking toxic sweat all over its body like acid rain. To attack, Gigantamax Toxtricity uses its stored electricity to create a guitar-shaped mass and slams it down toward opponents. The energy and momentum of this attack are powerful enough to create a giant crater.<ref>[https://swordshield.pokemon.com/en-us/pokemon-galar-region/gigantamax-toxtricity/ Gigantamax Toxtricity | Official Website | Pokémon Sword and Pokémon Shield]</ref> Gigantamax Toxtricity is the only known Pokémon capable of using the [[G-Max Move]] {{m|G-Max Stun Shock}}.

===Form data===
Toxtricity has two non-interchangeable forms: Amped Form and Low Key Form.

When {{p|Toxel}} [[Evolution|evolves]] into Toxtricity, the form it evolves into depends on its [[Nature]] (unaffected by [[mint]]s):

Toxel will evolve into Amped Form Toxtricity if its Nature is Hardy, Brave, Adamant, Naughty, Docile, Impish, Lax, Hasty, Jolly, Naive, Rash, Sassy, or Quirky.

Toxel will evolve into Low Key Form Toxtricity if its Nature is Lonely, Bold, Relaxed, Timid, Serious, Modest, Mild, Quiet, Bashful, Calm, Gentle, or Careful.

Both forms of Toxtricity have the same [[base stats]], but they learn slightly different [[move]]s and have different possible {{Abilities}}. Both forms have access to the same [[Gigantamax]] form.

==Trivia==
* No other Pokémon have the same [[List of Pokémon with unique type combinations|type combination]] as Toxtricity and its {{p|Toxel|pre-evolution}}.
* Toxtricity is the only Pokémon with a base stat total of 502.
* All of the Natures that lower the Attack stat (Bold, Timid, Modest, Calm) only belong to Low-Key Form Toxtricity; likewise, all of the Natures that lower the Special Defense stat (Naughty, Lax, Naive, Rash) only belong to Amped Form Toxtricity.
* Toxtricity, its pre-evolution, and its Gigantamax form were all designed by [[Yusuke Kozaki]].<ref>[https://twitter.com/kymg/status/1341384533459910656 Tweet by コザキユースケ/Yusuke Kozaki (@kymg).] Posted on December 22, 2020.</ref><ref>[https://twitter.com/kymg/status/1525743204259098624 Tweet by コザキユースケ/Yusuke Kozaki (@kymg).] Posted on May 15th, 2022.</ref>

===Origin===
Visually, Toxtricity resembles {{wp|lizard}}s, especially the ones from the {{wp|Agama (lizard)|Agama}} genus, like the {{wp|Mwanza flat-headed rock agama}} and the {{wp|Agama planiceps|Namib rock agama}}. Like Toxtricity, this genus is known for displaying a variety of bright colors and possessing spikes on the region of the ear.

Alternatively, Toxtricity may be based on {{wp|newt}}s, which are a type of salamander. Newts are poisonous, have rounded toes, and lizard-like bodies. The {{wp|Northern crested newt}} in particular resembles Toxtricity, sharing its jagged crest, yellow underbelly, and spots resembling the chest protrusions. The spikes on the side of the Pokémon's head are reminiscent of the gills newts have in their larval stage.

Toxtricity also appears to be based on {{wp|punk rock}} {{wp|guitarist}}s. Its Amped and Low Key forms resemble {{wp|electric guitar}}s and {{wp|bass guitar}}s; the number of their chest organs equals the number of strings on each guitar (six and four, respectively), and they make sounds similar to those of the respective instruments when strummed.<ref name="Amped"/><ref name="LowKey"/> Its appearance features several fashion elements commonly associated with punk, such as the {{wp|mohawk|mohawk hairstyle}}, torn pants, and spiked bracelets and belts. Gigantamax Toxtricity's ability of generating a guitar-shaped spark to attack may be a reference to {{wp|Instrument destruction|guitar smashing}}, a common act by guitarists at the end of a concert set where they smash their guitar against the floor. The pink and yellow coloration of its shiny form when in Amped Form greatly resembles the colors used in the album art of seminal British punk rock band {{wp|Never Mind the Bollocks, Here's the Sex Pistols|Sex Pistols' debut record}}, commonly cited as one of the first full-length records of the UK punk movement.

====Name origin====
Toxtricity may be a combination of ''toxic'' or ''toxicity'' and ''electricity''.

Strinder may be a combination of ''strings'' (of a stringed instrument) and ''salamander''.

'''Rest''' (Japanese: '''ねむる''' ''Rest'') is a non-damaging {{type|Psychic}} [[move]] introduced in [[Generation I]]. It was [[TM44]] from Generation I to {{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}}, as well as in [[Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl]], [[TM05]] in [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], [[TM21]] in {{g|Sword and Shield}}, and is [[TM085]] in [[Generation IX]].

==Effect==
Rest causes the user to fall {{status|Sleep|asleep}}, restoring its HP to its maximum amount. The user is unable to use moves for 2 turns while asleep: the turn when Rest is used and the next turn.

| style="{{roundybr|8px}}" colspan=2 | Sleep 3 turns (counting the turn when Rest is used) Attack on 3rd turn (the same turn when it wakes up)
|}

If a Pokémon with the {{a|Early Bird}} [[Ability]] uses Rest, it will spend one fewer turn asleep (being able to attack on the next turn after Rest is used).

Rest cures the user of any other existing non-volatile [[status condition]] ({{status|poison}}, {{status|paralysis}}, {{status|burn}}, or {{status|freeze}}) once it falls asleep. However, it does not affect any volatile ones such as {{OBP|confusion|status condition}}, [[infatuation]], [[seeding]], etc.

Rest works normally even if the user is affected by {{m|Safeguard}}.

Rest fails in these circumstances:
* The user has full [[HP]].
* The user has {{a|Insomnia}} or {{a|Vital Spirit}}, as these Abilities prevent them from falling asleep.
* The user has {{a|Comatose}}, which causes it to be treated as if it is already sleeping.
* {{m|Uproar}} is in effect.
** In Generations III–IV only, if the user has the user has {{a|Soundproof}}, then Rest can be used while Uproar is in effect.
* The user has {{a|Leaf Guard}} during [[harsh sunlight]].
* The user is [[grounded]] while {{m|Electric Terrain}} or {{m|Misty Terrain}} is in effect.
* The user is affected by {{a|Sweet Veil}}.

If the user is affected by {{m|Heal Block}}, this move cannot be used. In this case, if there are no other moves available, it will use {{m|Struggle}}.

===Generation I===
{{MoveResearch|Confirm if any of these glitches is found in the original Japanese Pokémon Stadium}}
In the handheld Generation I games only, a glitch causes the stat reductions associated with {{status|paralysis}} and {{status|burn}} to remain despite the fact that the Pokémon no longer has that status, though this can be alleviated by switching out. In [[Pokémon Stadium]] and later games, Rest will reset stat reductions from major status conditions.

In the handheld Generation I games only, if a Pokémon that has been {{status|bad poison|badly poisoned}} by {{m|Toxic}} successfully uses Rest, it will be cured of poison, but Toxic's counter is not reset; if it then suffers {{status|burn}}, {{m|Leech Seed}} or poison damage, that damage will be calculated with the formula for bad poison, still being calculated as '''N''' * x, and the '''N''' value will still increase by 1 each time (however, if the Pokémon is poisoned with Toxic, the '''N''' value will be reset to 1).

In the handheld Generation I games only, Rest will also fail if the difference between the user's maximum HP and current HP leaves a remainder of 255 when divided by 256 (such as 255 or 511).

===Generation II===
In this generation only, Rest can be used through {{m|Sleep Talk}}. It will work as usual, restoring the user's HP and resetting the number of turns the user will remain asleep.

===Generations III and IV===
Rest now fails if it is used via Sleep Talk, regardless of the user's HP.

Rest can be used as the first move of a [[Contest combination|Pokémon Contest combination]], causing {{m|Sleep Talk}} and {{m|Snore}} to score double the normal appeal if used in the next turn. It can also be used to finish a combination, with the user gaining 2 bonus appeal points if {{m|Belly Drum}}, {{m|Charm}}, or {{m|Yawn}} was used in the previous turn.

===Generations V to VII===
Rest can be used as part of a [[Contest combination|Contest Spectacular combination]], causing {{m|Sleep Talk}} and {{m|Snore}} to give an extra three appeal points if used in the next turn.

If powered up by a [[Psychium Z]] into Z-Rest, all of the user's lowered stats are reset.

===Generation VIII===
====Pokémon Legends: Arceus====
Rest restores 75% of the user's total HP and makes the user {{status|drowsy}} for four turns.

Rest causes the user to start {{DL|Status condition (Mystery Dungeon)|napping}} for 2-3{{sup/md|RB}}{{sup/md|TDS}} / 5{{sup/md|SMD}} turns. When the status ends, the user's HP is restored, its status conditions cured, and move seals removed. If the user is forcibly woken up (such as by {{m|Uproar}}), the effect will not take place. The move is affected by {{m|Snatch}}.

===[[Super Smash Bros.]] series===
{{sbw|Rest}} is {{SSB|Jigglypuff}}'s down special. Unlike its counterpart in the Pokémon games, rather than healing the player, Jigglypuff falls asleep to attack. A "huge buildup of energy" forms at Jigglypuff's center at the exact moment it nods off, and this energy damages the opponent and launches them into the air. Prior to [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]], this also sets said opponent on fire but from Super Smash Bros. Brawl onwards it plants a damage-inflicting flower on their head. The move is incredibly strong. For example, it almost always KOs the opponent in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee|Melee]]''.

The range of this attack is very strict, with the hitbox placed at the center of Jigglypuff's body. An opponent next to Jigglypuff will not be hit, the two kind of have to overlap. Jigglypuff stays asleep for a short time after using Rest, during which it can take no further actions. If the attack missed, this leaves Jigglypuff very vulnerable, just like how a sleeping Pokemon is open to attacks.

In Pokémon UNITE, Rest is {{p|Snorlax}}'s second starting move. The user falls asleep for a short duration, healing 3 times for 8% of their Max HP. While asleep other Pokémon cannot pass through the user’s hitbox. At level 7 it's replaced by either {{m|Block}} or {{m|Yawn}}.

==Trivia==
* Rest is the only move that inflicts a non-volatile [[status condition]] and targets the user.
* According to {{jo|Webster}}'s friend in Johto, ''Rest'' is a contraction of ''Recover fast''.
* The English manual for {{game|Yellow}} mentions that "<sc>Rest</sc>'s number of turns is changed to between 1 and 3" when used in [[Pokémon Yellow Version#Connectivity|Colosseum 2]]. This is not the case.
* If a {{p|Shedinja}} uses Rest, it will always fail due to the fact that a non-[[fainting|fainted]] Shedinja always has full [[HP]] (1 HP).

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

While it is not known to [[evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon, Rayquaza can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into '''Mega Rayquaza''' if it knows {{m|Dragon Ascent}}, but only if it is not holding a [[Z-Crystal]].

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

Rayquaza is the game mascot of {{game|Emerald}}, appearing on the boxart of the game. It serves to end the conflict between {{p|Kyogre}} and {{p|Groudon}} when [[Team Magma]]'s leader [[Maxie]] and [[Team Aqua]]'s leader [[Archie]] awakened them.

Along with Kyogre and Groudon, Rayquaza is one of the [[super-ancient Pokémon]], often viewed as their [[Legendary leader|leader]] by fans. In {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, it plays an important role during the [[Delta Episode]]. It is associated with {{p|Deoxys}}.

==Biology==
[[File:Encountering Rayquaza ORAS.png|thumb|Encountering Rayquaza]]
[[File:Destroying the meteoroid Rayquaza ORAS.png|thumb|left|Destroying a meteoroid]]
Rayquaza is a large, green, serpentine {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that also resembles a missile. It has red-tipped, rudder-like wings on its shoulders and down its body, and similarly patterned fins on the tip of its tail. Yellow ring-like symbols run across the length of Rayquaza's body and it has an additional yellow ring on top of its head. Rayquaza has two limbs with three-clawed hands, and two long, flat, horn-like structures on its head, with two shorter horns along its jawline. It has small, yellow eyes with black pupils, prominent pink gums, and two discernible fangs in its upper jaw.

Rayquaza has a strong and endless desire to do heroic deeds for the [[Pokémon world]].<ref>[[Legendary and Mythical Guidebook: Deluxe Edition]]: :''"Rayquaza has a never-ending appetite for doing what right."''</ref> Rayquaza can halt the endless battles of the other two super-ancient Pokémon, even in their Primal Forms.<ref>[[Wallace]]: ''"Somewhere, there is a super-ancient Pokémon named Rayquaza. It's said that it was Rayquaza that becalmed the two combatants in the distant past."'' ({{game|Emerald}})</ref><ref>[[Zinnia]]: ''"That was when, as if drawn by the brilliance, a Pokémon that shone in a blazing emerald hue descended from the heavens... That Pokémon was none other than Rayquaza. Rayquaza's power overwhelmed that of the two Primal Pokémon, and peace returned to the world."'' ([[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire]])</ref> Rayquaza is the only one who can stop the duo and restore order to nature. Rayquaza is said to have lived for hundreds of millions of years in the {{wp|ozone layer}}, where it feeds on water and other particles. It also preys on the {{p|Minior}} above the [[Alola]] [[region]] and even feeds on meteoroids, particularly [[Mega Stone]]s. It also loves [[Rayquaza Treat]]s made by [[Snacksworth]], who once encountered it in the past. Rayquaza is {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Rare Pokémon|rarely}} seen by people; even in flight, its appearance is indistinguishable from that of a meteor. It can breathe in outer space. Rayquaza can be summoned atop [[Sky Pillar]] by a [[Key Stone]].

Rayquaza possesses some of the strongest attack power out of any Pokémon; it can easily summon cyclones to overwhelm its opponents. {{m|Dragon Ascent|It can soar into the sky and droop out into its foes at high speeds}}, causing huge damage. Thanks to its weather-manipulation powers, {{a|Air Lock|it can eliminate weather effects}}. Rayquaza was worshiped by the [[Draconid people]] along with the people of [[Hoenn]] as the savior of the region. Thus, they built the [[Sky Pillar]] to honor it. In the manga, the Draconids referred to it as their "'''Dragon Lord'''". It is one of the longest-lived Pokémon species. Inside Rayquaza's body lies an organ that contains the same [[Infinity Energy|power]] as a [[Mega Stone]]. A [[Devon Corporation]] scientist named this organ the "mikado organ". By consuming meteoroids as it flies through the stratosphere, the organ will be filled with enough energy to enable Rayquaza's [[Mega Evolution]].

Rayquaza is bitter enemies with {{p|Deoxys}}, with the two often clashing with each other thanks to Rayquaza's territorial nature. This depicted in the movie ''[[M07|Destiny Deoxys]]'' and the games [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire|Omega Ruby, Alpha Sapphire]] and [[Pokémon Masters EX|Masters EX]].

Rayquaza is the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Dragon Ascent}}. It is also the [[Signature Ability|only known Pokémon]] that can have {{a|Air Lock}} as an [[Ability]].

===Forms===
Rayquaza can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into Mega Rayquaza.

As Mega Rayquaza, its body becomes longer and gains more features. Its head becomes longer with the {{tt|Δ|Delta}} symbol appearing on its forehead. Rayquaza's eyes now contain yellow pupils with red irises, and black, {{wp|shichishito}}-shaped markings trail behind its eyes. Its red lips and teeth become gold, and the gold lines connect to those on its lower horns, which take on a broad, triangular shape. At the outer edges of its lower horns are long, golden, glowing tendrils that each extend to a green, fin-like structure; these tendrils have ring patterns that strongly resemble the yellow markings running along the length of Rayquaza's normal form. While in flight, these tendrils give Mega Rayquaza a {{tt|Δ|Delta}}-shaped profile. Its two upper horns become longer with a gold line running over them in a V shape, and each upper horn has another glowing tendril that ends in a circular shape with a spike. Along the length of its body are golden, glowing orbs placed where its ring patterns used to be. The chin, part of the neck, and parts of its serpentine body are changed to the color black. The fins running along its body are now marked with gold lines; the fins on its tail become entirely yellow and substantially longer. Particles stream from the long tendrils that extend from its jutting jaw; these particles can control the density and humidity of the air, allowing Mega Rayquaza to manipulate the weather. Its green hide sparkles with an emerald-like quality.<ref name="Mega">https://web.archive.org/web/20150202050239/http://www.pokemonrubysapphire.com/en-us/pokemon/legendary-pokemon/mega-rayquaza</ref>

Mega Rayquaza was said to have been born from humanity's wish for salvation, channeled through the Key Stone of a Draconid Lorekeeper. Rayquaza is the first recorded Pokémon to achieve [[Mega Evolution]] and is at its full power when in the Mega Evolved state. Thanks to its weather-manipulating powers, {{a|Delta Stream|it can change the weather to eliminate}} all of the [[Flying (type)|Flying]] [[type]]'s weaknesses. As seen in ''[[XYS02|Mega Evolution Special II]]'', Rayquaza can Mega Evolve even without a [[Key Stone]]. Mega Rayquaza has the power to undo the [[Primal Reversion|primal forms]] of {{p|Groudon}} and {{p|Kyogre}}. It is capable of destroying meteors bigger than itself as seen with the [[Grand Meteor Delta]].

Mega Rayquaza is the [[Signature Ability|only known Pokémon]] that can have {{a|Delta Stream}} as an [[Ability]].

==Game data==
===NPC appearances===
* {{g|Pinball: Ruby & Sapphire}}: Rayquaza is the focus of the third and final Bonus Field. It can only be challenged after capturing {{p|Groudon}} or {{p|Kyogre}} and will then join the circuit of bonus fields. Rayquaza will bounce along from left to right, allowing the ball to roll under it if it is up. It will sometimes use {{m|Thunder}} to paralyze the ball if it is not moving fast enough, though it does stay still while it is unleashing the attack. Rayquaza will also sometimes use {{m|ExtremeSpeed}} to create two tornadoes that cause the ball to fly up into the air for several seconds if contact is made. Rayquaza must be hit 15 times in three minutes to win. After beating the round twice, Rayquaza will be captured.
* [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team]]: Rayquaza acts as the final boss, living on the [[Sky Tower]]. After it is defeated, Rayquaza helps save the {{pkmn|world (Mystery Dungeon)|world}} from a meteor. After the credits roll, the player can re-battle Rayquaza to recruit it.
* {{vg|Pokémon Ranger}}: Rayquaza can be captured in a bonus mission after the credits.
* [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness]]: Rayquaza is the guardian of the [[Seven Treasures|Sky Melodica]].
* [[PokéPark Wii: Pikachu's Adventure]]: Rayquaza is the leader of the [[Granite Zone|Granite]] and [[Flower Zone]]s. He's in charge of {{DL|Attraction (PokéPark)|Rayquaza's Balloon Panic}}.
* {{g|Super Mystery Dungeon}}: Rayquaza first appears early into the game, fleeing to space in fear of [[Dark Matter]]'s influence. When Dark Matter attempts to take the [[Tree of Life]] to space, Rayquaza and Deoxys use their energy to try and slow its ascent from above, with Rayquaza even Mega Evolving. Ultimately, when Dark Matter regenerates itself for the first time, it unleashes even more energy, turning both Rayquaza and Deoxys to stone. At the conclusion of the event, Rayquaza turns back to normal and takes residence at [[Dragon Gate]] and guards the {{DL|Looplet|Wind Looplet}}.

====Major appearances====
=====[[Rayquaza (M07)]]=====
Rayquaza debuted in ''[[M07|Destiny Deoxys]]''. It fought {{OBP|Deoxys|M07}}, believing it was invading the Sky High Pokémon's territory when Deoxys was in fact looking for its friend, another Deoxys.

====={{DL|Super-ancient Pokémon (XY series)|Rayquaza|Rayquaza (''Pokémon the Series: XY'')}}=====
In ''[[XYS02|Mega Evolution Special II]]'', a Rayquaza showed up and [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolved]]. [[Alain]] and {{Steven}} tried to battle it, but they were quickly defeated by the Sky High Pokémon. In ''[[XYS03|Mega Evolution Special III]]'', it tried to stop the destructive battle between [[Primal Reversion|Primal]] [[Super-ancient Pokémon (XY series)#Groudon|Groudon]] and Primal [[Super-ancient Pokémon (XY series)#Kyogre|Kyogre]] as both were trying to obtain the [[Giant Rock]], and eventually succeeded.

=====[[Black Rayquaza]]=====
In ''[[HZ006|The Ancient Poké Ball]]'', a {{Shiny}} Rayquaza that once belonged to [[Lucius]] emerged from [[Roy]]'s {{DL|Poké Ball|Ancient Poké Ball}} before flying away. Finding it again provided Roy with inspiration to start traveling with the [[Rising Volt Tacklers]].

=====Other=====
In ''[[DP043|Malice In Wonderland!]]'', {{an|Cynthia}} appeared to own a Rayquaza, but it was only an illusion created by {{p|Mismagius}}. Whenever Mismagius fuses with Rayquaza, it becomes the same color as the Mismagius, making it look like a Shiny Rayquaza.

Rayquaza made its physical main series debut in ''[[DP142|Where No Togepi Has Gone Before!]]''. It used {{m|Hyper Beam}} on the rocket ship {{Ash}}, {{ashfr}}, and {{TRT}} were on, presumably in order to protect its territory from them.

In [[BWS02]], {{an|Iris}} saw a Rayquaza and decided to follow it and see where it would go next.

In ''[[M18|Hoopa and the Clash of Ages]]'', a Shiny Rayquaza capable of Mega Evolving was summoned alongside {{p|Latios}} and {{p|Latias}} by {{an|Hoopa}} to protect it from the shadow {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Hoopa|Hoopa Unbound}}. The trio protected Hoopa from the shadow Hoopa and its reinforcements, [[Primal Reversion|Primal]] {{p|Groudon}}, Primal {{p|Kyogre}}, {{p|Dialga}}, {{p|Palkia}}, {{p|Giratina}}, and {{p|Kyurem}}, in [[Dahara City]]. Eventually, the {{pkmn|battle}} ended after the shadow Hoopa was sealed in a [[Prison Bottle]], and Rayquaza departed for its home.

In ''[[SM124|Living on the Cutting Edge!]]'', a Rayquaza was battling {{p|Deoxys}} in outer space. The battle accidentally caused one of the meteors to head towards [[Alola]], though it was ultimately cut up by a {{DL|Ultra Beasts (anime)|Kartana}}, saving the [[region]] from harm.

====Minor appearances====
In the opening sequence of ''[[M09|Pokémon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea]]'', a Rayquaza was captured by [[Team Rocket]] operatives and experimented on.

A Rayquaza appeared in the opening sequence of ''[[M13|Zoroark: Master of Illusions]]''.

In ''[[SM079|Showering the World with Love!]]'', {{Ash}} and {{ashcl}} saw a Rayquaza in the sky at [[Starfall Hill]] after saying goodbye to {{p|Minior}}.

A Rayquaza appeared in ''[[JN046|Getting More Than You Battled For!]]''.

A silhouetted Rayquaza appeared in a fantasy in ''[[JN053|Healing the Healer!]]''.

A Rayquaza appeared in a vision in ''[[JN134|In the Palms of our Hands!]]''.

===Pokémon Adventures===
{{main|Super-ancient Pokémon (Adventures)#Rayquaza|Rayquaza (Adventures)}}
Rayquaza debuted in ''[[PS258|Rayquaza Redemption I]]'', where [[Norman]] sought it out to stop the battle between {{DL|Super-ancient Pokémon (Adventures)|Groudon}} and {{DL|Super-ancient Pokémon (Adventures)|Kyogre}} in [[Sootopolis City]], using {{adv|Wally}}'s help to gain access to its sealed chamber inside [[Sky Pillar]]. While Rayquaza's power alone was insufficient to stop the battle, {{adv|Ruby}} was able to combine it with the powers of the [[Red Orb|Red]] and [[Blue Orb]]s, successfully stopping the conflict. Afterwards, Rayquaza broke free of the weakened Norman's control and fled. In the {{MangaArc|Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire}}, Ruby and Norman once again sought to use Rayquaza to avert a crisis, this time to destroy a [[Grand Meteor Delta|giant meteoroid]] that was threatening the planet. [[Zinnia]] also wanted to use Rayquaza for the same purpose, believing herself to be the one who should carry out the task. However, after Rayquaza rejected her, it befell to Ruby and {{adv|Sapphire}} to ride Rayquaza to space and [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] it in order to destroy the meteoroid.

In this [[canon]], Rayquaza was once captured by the [[Pokémon Association]] in order to study it and create an artificial [[Jade Orb|Green Orb]] in order to control it, but the artifact was never fully completed before Rayquaza escaped its imprisonment.

===Pokémon Pocket Monsters===
A Rayquaza appears in ''[[PMRS34|Pokémon Task Force In Action!!]]'', where {{OBP|Red|Pocket Monsters}}, {{TP|Red|Clefairy}}, {{OBP|Red's Pikachu|Pocket Monsters|Pikachu}}, and {{TP|Red|Tyrogue}} try to stop it from destroying a city.

===Let's Play the Pokémon Card Game XY!===
[[Manabu Kadoo|Manabu]] was seen with a Rayquaza.

===Movie adaptations===

A Shiny Rayquaza appears in ''{{ma|Hoopa and the Clash of Ages}}''.

===Pocket Monsters DP===
A Rayquaza appeared in [[PMDP29]].

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

==Other appearances==
===[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]===
[[File:Rayquaza Brawl.png|thumb|200px|Rayquaza in Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]
Rayquaza appears in [[The Subspace Emissary]] mode as a boss. After {{smw|Diddy Kong}} lands in {{sbw|The Lake}}, Rayquaza lunges out of the water and grabs him, angry at being disrupted. Before it can further attack, {{smw|Fox McCloud|Fox}} ejects out of his ship, which had crashed and been destroyed by Rayquaza earlier, and rescues Diddy Kong. Enraged, Rayquaza attacks Fox with {{m|Dragon Pulse}}, but Fox {{sbw|Reflector|reflects}} its attack back at it, sending it reeling back into the water. Rayquaza soon launches back out and engages in battle against Fox and Diddy Kong. Even though it is a very powerful Legendary Pokemon, they still manage to defeat it.

Like all other Subspace Emissary bosses, Rayquaza is later battled again in {{sbw|The Great Maze}}, and can be fought in the {{sbw|Boss Battles}} mode after the latter is unlocked. Its attacks in battle include {{m|ExtremeSpeed}}, {{m|Thunder}}, {{m|Dig}}{{tt|*|Can't learn this legitimately}}, {{m|Iron Tail}}, and {{m|Fly}}.

Rayquaza being found/battled at the lake contrasts how it canonically is supposed to live in the ozone layer.

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

===[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U|Super Smash Bros. for Wii U]]===
[[File:Kalos Pokémon League Dragonmark Chamber SSB4WU.png|thumb|left|250px|Rayquaza in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U]]
Rayquaza appears as an occasional stage hazard in the {{DL|Pokémon League (Kalos)|Dragonmark Chamber}} of the {{st|Kalos Pokémon League}} stage. Appearing rarely, it flies across the stage at various angles, dealing damage to fighters. Its path is shown briefly by lightning before it appears, giving players time to avoid it.

====Trophy information====
''This Dragon- and Flying-type Pokemon usually dwells high in the ozone layer, so it can't be seen from the ground. In the Kalos Pokemon League stage, it occasionally flies at great speed through the Elite Four's Dragon-type chamber, where any fighters in its path will be damaged and launched with great force.''

===[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]===
Rayquaza appears as a {{sbw|Spirits (characters)|Spirit}}, as well as retaining its rare appearance in the Dragonmark Chamber on the {{st|Kalos Pokémon League}} stage.

==Trivia==
* Mega Rayquaza has the highest base {{stat|Attack}} and {{stat|Special Attack}} stats and the highest base stat total of all {{type|Dragon}} and {{type|Flying}} Pokémon.
* Mega Rayquaza is the tallest Mega Evolved Pokémon.
** It is also the [[List of Pokémon by height|tallest]] {{type|Flying}} Pokémon.
* Rayquaza's catch rate was raised from its original value of 3 to 45 in {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}. This is likely due to it being a required capture during the [[Delta Episode]] storyline of that game. Its catch rate was later reverted from 45 back to 3 in {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}.
* Rayquaza was the most voted Pokémon of all pre-[[Generation V]] Pokémon in the {{pmin|South Korea|Korean}} [[Pokémon Global Link]] [[List of Pokémon Global Link promotions/Pokémon#Rayquaza|promotion]] poll.
** Rayquaza was also the most voted on the {{DL|List of local Japanese event Pokémon distributions in Generation V|15th Anniversary Rayquaza|15th anniversary poll}}, which was for the [[game mascot]]s of the [[core series]] games, making it Japan's favorite game mascot.
* Rayquaza is misspelled as "Rayquayza" at the [[player character|player]] select screen of {{g|Team Turbo}}.
** However, this typo does not affect the minigames [[Charizard's Crossword Challenge]] and [[Mudkip's Word Finder]], because they use a separate list of Pokémon names (they don't include Rayquaza at all, or any other [[List of Pokémon that are not part of an evolutionary line|Pokémon without evolutions or pre-evolutions]]).
* Rayquaza is the only Pokémon capable of Mega Evolving that does not require a [[Mega Stone]] to do so in the games.
** It is, therefore, the only Pokémon that can have a different held item (apart from [[Z-Crystal]]s) while Mega Evolved, since Mega Stones cannot be taken off their proper holder during battle.
** It is also the only Pokémon not to have the message "(The opposing) <Pokémon>'s <[[Mega Stone]]> is reacting to its [[Key Stone]]!" when it Mega Evolves. Instead, it has the message "<player>'s fervent wish has reached Rayquaza!".
* Mega Rayquaza is tied with {{p|Mewtwo}}'s Mega Evolutions for the highest base stat total of all Pokémon, with 780, excluding non-playable Eternamax {{p|Eternatus}}.
** This makes it the only Pokémon with a base stat total above 720 that doesn't require a specific held item.
* Rayquaza was designed by [[Hironobu Yoshida]].<ref>[https://www.pokemon.com/us/play-pokemon/worlds/2014/info/vips/ 2014 Pokémon World Championships VIPs | The Official Pokémon Website]</ref>
* In the [[Pokémon of the Year]] poll held by The Pokémon Company in 2020, Rayquaza was voted the most popular [[Generation III]] Pokémon, receiving 60,939 votes. It was also the eighth-most popular Pokémon overall.
** It was also voted as the most popular [[Legendary Pokémon]], as well as being the only Legendary to make the top ten results.

===Origin===
Rayquaza's design is probably based on the {{wp|Chinese dragon}} and the {{wp|Lindworm}}. Its role is similar to that of {{wp|Ziz}} in Hebrew legends. It matches the description of the Aztec god {{wp|Quetzalcoatl}}, who was depicted as a flying serpent and created the boundary between the earth (including the oceans) and the sky. The markings on its body may be inspired from The Nazca Lines. Its trait of being capable of inhabiting the skies, and living there while subsisting on nothing but dew and particles for centuries, also bears aspects of the legendary Chinese xian hermit sages and East Asian dragons, specifically Japanese dragons, who are commonly depicted with three claws, as opposed to four in Chinese dragons.

Rayquaza being a dragon coming from the cosmic space on earth might take inspiration from {{wp|meteorite}}s, the {{wp|Draconids}} meteor shower named after {{wp|Draco (constellaton)|Draco constellation}}, or the comet that gave the name {{wp|Uther Pendragon|Pendragon}} to the legendary King of the Britons. The yellow marking on Mega Rayquaza's head appear similar to the Greek letter {{wp|delta}} what might allude to the [[Delta Episode]] from {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}.

====Name origin====
Rayquaza may be derived from 裂空 ''rekkū'' (sky-rending), a word appearing in various media and merchandise that featured Rayquaza. The latter half may be derived from 座 ''za'' (seat), relating to compounds such as 星座 ''seiza'' (constellation) and 王座 ''ōza'' (throne). It may also involve רָקִיעַ ''rāqī́aʿ'' (Hebrew for {{wp|firmament}}), ''{{wp|ray}}'', and ''{{wp|quasar}}''.

Rayquaza's mikado organ refers to 帝 ''mikado'' (emperor), another name for the {{wp|Emperor of Japan}}.

Layla (BW095)

[[File:Layla BW095.png|thumb|250px|Layla]]
'''Layla''' (Japanese: '''レイラ''' ''Layla'') is a [[character of the day]] who appeared in ''[[BW095|Unrest at the Nursery!]]''. She is the co-owner of a [[Pokémon Day Care]] not far from [[Humilau City]].

She is well-meaning but often clumsy, tripping on small rocks several times throughout the course of the episode. {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} ran into Layla while she was looking for a {{p|Rufflet}} and {{p|Vullaby}} that escaped from the daycare during a walk. As soon as they met her, she tripped over a rock. She later found Rufflet and Vullaby, and Ash and his friends followed her to the daycare. Since Layla had only just began working at the day care, she has little working experience.

After she introduced them to the manager of the daycare, Ash, {{an|Iris}}, and {{an|Cilan}} decided to help Layla with her work. They learned that the Rufflet and Vullaby didn't get along. Layla is also a bit forgetful, as she forgot to crack the shells off the Pokemon's food first, rendering Whimsicott unable to eat it. The Vullaby eventually escaped once again after Layla made her sad. Ash and Iris decided to maintain the daycare, while Cilan went with Layla to find Vullaby. When they eventually found it, they also ran into a group of wild {{p|Amoonguss}}. Vullaby was in danger of becoming poisoned, when Rufflet attacked the Amoonguss, followed by [[Cilan's Crustle]], who blocked the path with {{m|Rock Slide}}. Cilan helped Layla realize that Rufflet and Vullaby have been fighting for her affection.

Layla and Cilan still had to find a way back to the daycare. On their way there, they met Ash, who was looking for them. With his help, they almost managed to pass a cliff safely, though Layla fell right into the water below the cliff, along with Rufflet and Vullaby. After they reached the shoreline, she gave both Pokémon a big hug. She returned with Ash and Cilan to the daycare. While running, Layla tripped over a rock once again, though Cilan grabbed her hand this time, preventing her from falling to the ground.

{{spoilers}}



==Plot==
One the way to [[Levincia]], where [[Dot]]'s Terastal Test is set to take place, [[Liko]] and Dot notice how happy [[Roy]] is that he passed his test. Liko tries to give Dot confidence before being notified about a new Nidothing video that Dot scheduled in advance. Liko, blushing, asks Dot if any of her videos would be filmed out and about, and Dot denies it. Roy calls the girls over to show that they've arrived in Levincia.

In the city, Roy says it looks just as awesome as always. Liko turns {{TP|Liko|Floragato}}'s attention to a {{p|Sprigatito}} billboard, asking if it takes her back. Dot contacts the [[Rising Volt Tacklers]] to tell them that they've arrived in town. [[Murdock]] tells Dot that he got some of the sweets from Patisserie Soapberry for her and the others. [[Iono]] greets everyone and presents Wasabi sauce. Roy wonders if they could see her before the Terastal course, but Dot says she's busy and doesn't have that kind of time. However, to they're surprise, Iono is right there at the dock waiting for them, revealing that it was her who showed it to the Rising Volt Tacklers. Murdock hands out the sweets he got from his part-time job, thrilling Liko and Roy. Everyone enjoys the sweets as Friede, Liko and Roy talk about how the Terastal course is going. Iono then asks Dot for a favor.

Everyone heads out to the dock, which is lit up by a circle of {{p|Tadbulb}}s. Iono tells Dot that her Terastal tests are shown on livestream, ready for the rehearsal battle. As lots of [[Rotom Phone]]s surround a nervous Dot, Iono wants her to battle like this rehearsal is the real deal. She then chooses Roy to be her opponent. Liko notices how nervous Dot is acting before the battle begins. {{TP|Roy|Fuecoco}} starts off with {{m|Flame Charge}}, which scores a direct hit on {{TP|Dot|Quaxly}}. Dot is about to give a command, but gets distracted by the cameras of the surrounding Rotom Phones. Fuecoco scores another direct hit on Quaxly with {{m|Stomping Tantrum}}, followed by a slew of {{m|Flamethrower}}s, all while Dot is too anxious to give any commands at all, resulting in her defeat. Liko sees how Dot isn't acting like herself. Iono asks Dot what's wrong, and she says that she couldn't concentrate with all those cameras pointed at her. Iono understands and takes the phones back before giving Dot the advice to put on a good show in a Terastal battle. Dot finds it hard to believe that she can't have that kind of battle as herself and not Nidothing.

On the [[Brave Olivine]], Dot looks at her Nidothing suit before picking it up. Roy talks with Liko about Iono's offer to let Dot battle in her Terastal test as Nidothing. Liko wonders if Dot is okay with it, saying that Nidothing and Dot aren't the same in terms of personality. Liko gets notified about a Nidothing livestream, becomes shocked to see that it's being recorded on the Brave Olivine's upper deck. Nidothing announces something big coming up, leading Roy and Liko to think that Dot accepted Iono's offer. Nidothing is about to come out and say it, but after a moment of silence, she says that it's coming up soon.

Dot is in town wearing her Nidothing costume and filming Quaxly and {{TP|Dot|Tinkatink}} eating churros from Smooch-A Churro. Liko and Roy are watching her from a bush, Liko noticing Quaxly not as into it as Nidothing. Nidothing continues to do her thing, getting several people to record her as Quaxly becomes more disappointed. Dot takes off the Nidothing suit in an alley and checks the response. Liko and Roy find her and point out how much fun she was having. The cameras don't bother Dot when she's Nidothing. Liko and Roy ask her if she's planning on battling as Nidothing during the Terastal course, and Dot says that she got Iono's permission. Liko, starting to feel uneasy, asks Dot if that's what she wants as Tinkatink finds a sleeping {{p|Varoom}} on a crate. Liko thinks Dot was forcing herself in the act, and Dot is quick to nervously deny it. Just then, Dot notices an annoyed Quaxly dragging the Nidothing costume away. Dot tries to get it back, but Quaxly stands in her way. Liko questions Dot again about battling as Nidothing, and Dot, overwhelmed once again, insists that her decision is final.

The kids see Tinkatink being attacked by Varoom. Roy has Fuecoco use Flamethrower, and Varoom leans to the side to avoid it. Varoom then glares at Fuecoco and revs up, scaring the Fire Croc Pokémon. Tinkatink starts crying, forcing Dot to recall her back into her Poké Ball. Varoom charges at the group, only to have the Nidothing suit land on top of the Single-Cyl Pokémon as it speeds away with it. The group follows Varoom to the city's central square, where it confronts them in front of everyone. Dot again becomes nervous at everyone breaking out their cameras to record the scene. Quaxly charges in and gets knocked back by Varoom. Dot sees Quaxly's determination, but still can't fight with all the cameras out. Quaxly uses {{m|Pound}}, but it's vision is blocked by smoke from Varoom, leaving it open to be rammed again by the Single-Cyl Pokémon. Seeing Dot and Quaxly struggle, Liko and Roy run in to help, only for Dot to stop them and join Quaxly. Dot commands a {{m|Water Gun}}, which Varoom dodges with rapid movements. Quaxly reminds Dot to keep her focus away from the cameras. Finally taking her mind off the cameras, Dot commands Quaxly to use Water Gun over and over. As Dot pays attention to Varoom's movements, it charges again, only for Quaxly to toss it aside with {{m|Low Kick}} and leave it open for one last Water Gun.

Varoom gets back up, but this time, it has calmed down and warm up to Quaxly. The people watching are amazed by Dot's performance as Iono announces that she will facing Dot in the Terastal course and it will be livestreamed. Dot remembers the Nidothing costume, only to see that it has vanished. Liko and Roy carry the Nidothing costume into the ally, just as Dot comes over and thanks them for grabbing it. She then apologizes to them before saying that the cameras didn't bother her when she was battling with Quaxly. This battle makes Dot think that she's earned some respect from Iono and decides to take the test as herself, which amazes Liko and Roy.

In her recording studio, Iono admits that battling Nidothing would have built even more hype, but this is fun every now and then. She tells Dot not to hold back.

Liko notices how nervous Dot is acting before the battle begins. {{TP|Roy|Fuecoco}} starts off with {{m|Flame Charge}}, which scores a direct hit on {{TP|Dot|Quaxly}}. Dot is about to give a command, but gets distracted by the cameras of the surrounding Rotom Phones. Fuecoco scores another direct hit on Quaxly with {{m|Stomping Tantrum}}, followed by a slew of {{m|Flamethrower}}s, all while Dot is too anxious to give any commands at all, resulting in her defeat. Liko sees how Dot isn't acting like herself. Iono asks Dot what's wrong, and she says that she couldn't concentrate with all those cameras pointed at her. Iono understands and takes the phones back before giving Dot the advice to put on a good show in a Terastal battle. Dot finds it hard to believe that she can't have that kind of battle as herself and not Nidothing.

On the [[Brave Olivine]], Dot looks at her Nidothing suit before picking it up. Roy talks with Liko about Iono's offer to let Dot battle in her Terastal test as Nidothing. Liko wonders if Dot is okay with it, saying that Nidothing and Dot aren't the same in terms of personality. Liko gets notified about a Nidothing livestream, becomes shocked to see that it's being recorded on the Brave Olivine's upper deck. Nidothing announces something big coming up, leading Roy and Liko to think that Dot accepted Iono's offer. Nidothing is about to come out and say it, but after a moment of silence, she says that it's coming up soon.

Dot is in town wearing her Nidothing costume and filming Quaxly and {{TP|Dot|Tinkatink}} eating churros from Smooch-A Churro. Liko and Roy are watching her from a bush, Liko noticing Quaxly not as into it as Nidothing. Nidothing continues to do her thing, getting several people to record her as Quaxly becomes more disappointed. Dot takes off the Nidothing suit in an alley and checks the response. Liko and Roy find her and point out how much fun she was having. The cameras don't bother Dot when she's Nidothing. Liko and Roy ask her if she's planning on battling as Nidothing during the Terastal course, and Dot says that she got Iono's permission. Liko, starting to feel uneasy, asks Dot if that's what she wants as Tinkatink finds a sleeping {{p|Varoom}} on a crate. Liko thinks Dot was forcing herself in the act, and Dot is quick to nervously deny it. Just then, Dot notices an annoyed Quaxly dragging the Nidothing costume away. Dot tries to get it back, but Quaxly stands in her way. Liko questions Dot again about battling as Nidothing, and Dot, overwhelmed once again, insists that her decision is final.

The kids see Tinkatink being attacked by Varoom. Roy has Fuecoco use Flamethrower, and Varoom leans to the side to avoid it. Varoom then glares at Fuecoco and revs up, scaring the Fire Croc Pokémon. Tinkatink starts crying, forcing Dot to recall her back into her Poké Ball. Varoom charges at the group, only to have the Nidothing suit land on top of the Single-Cyl Pokémon as it speeds away with it. The group follows Varoom to the city's central square, where it confronts them in front of everyone. Dot again becomes nervous at everyone breaking out their cameras to record the scene. Quaxly charges in and gets knocked back by Varoom. Dot sees Quaxly's determination, but still can't fight with all the cameras out. Quaxly uses {{m|Pound}}, but it's vision is blocked by smoke from Varoom, leaving it open to be rammed again by the Single-Cyl Pokémon. Seeing Dot and Quaxly struggle, Liko and Roy run in to help, only for Dot to stop them and join Quaxly. Dot commands a {{m|Water Gun}}, which Varoom dodges with rapid movements. Quaxly reminds Dot to keep her focus away from the cameras. Finally taking her mind off the cameras, Dot commands Quaxly to use Water Gun over and over. As Dot pays attention to Varoom's movements, it charges again, only for Quaxly to toss it aside with {{m|Low Kick}} and leave it open for one last Water Gun.

Varoom gets back up, but this time, it has calmed down and warm up to Quaxly. The people watching are amazed by Dot's performance as Iono announces that she will facing Dot in the Terastal course and it will be livestreamed. Dot remembers the Nidothing costume, only to see that it has vanished. Liko and Roy carry the Nidothing costume into the ally, just as Dot comes over and thanks them for grabbing it. She then apologizes to them before saying that the cameras didn't bother her when she was battling with Quaxly. This battle makes Dot think that she's earned some respect from Iono and decides to take the test as herself, which amazes Liko and Roy.

In her recording studio, Iono admits that battling Nidothing would have built even more hype, but this is fun every now and then. She tells Dot not to hold back.

==Plot==
One the way to [[Levincia]], where [[Dot]]'s Terastal Test is set to take place, [[Liko]] and Dot notice how happy [[Roy]] is that he passed his test. Liko tries to give Dot confidence before being notified about a new Nidothing video that Dot scheduled in advance. Liko, blushing, asks Dot if any of her videos would be filmed out and about, and Dot denies it. Roy calls the girls over to show that they've arrived in Levincia.

In the city, Roy says it looks just as awesome as always. Liko turns {{TP|Liko|Floragato}}'s attention to a {{p|Sprigatito}} billboard, asking if it takes her back. Dot contacts the [[Rising Volt Tacklers]] to tell them that they've arrived in town. [[Murdock]] tells Dot that he got some of the sweets from Patisserie Soapberry for her and the others. [[Iono]] greets everyone and presents Wasabi sauce. Roy wonders if they could see her before the Terastal course, but Dot says she's busy and doesn't have that kind of time. However, to they're surprise, Iono is right there at the dock waiting for them, revealing that it was her who showed it to the Rising Volt Tacklers. Murdock hands out the sweets he got from his part-time job, thrilling Liko and Roy. Everyone enjoys the sweets as Friede, Liko and Roy talk about how the Terastal course is going. Iono then asks Dot for a favor.

Everyone heads out to the dock, which is lit up by a circle of {{p|Tadbulb}}s. Iono tells Dot that her Terastal tests are shown on livestream, ready for the rehearsal battle. As lots of [[Rotom Phone]]s surround a nervous Dot, Iono wants her to battle like this rehearsal is the real deal. She then chooses Roy to be her opponent. Liko notices how nervous Dot is acting before the battle begins. {{TP|Roy|Fuecoco}} starts off with {{m|Flame Charge}}, which scores a direct hit on {{TP|Dot|Quaxly}}.

'''Cyllage Gym''' (Japanese: '''ショウヨウジム''' ''Shōyō Gym'') is the official [[Gym]] of [[Cyllage City]] and the second Gym the player character challenges. It is based on {{type|Rock}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. The [[Gym Leader]] is [[Grant]], who will give out the {{badge|Cliff}} upon being defeated.

==In the games==
The Cyllage Gym exists within a large cave containing an underground waterfall. The Gym provides a bench in the rear where the {{player}} can sit and view the waterfall. A large, rocky hill takes up the center of the Gym, which is covered in rock walls that the player must climb in order to reach the top. After defeating Grant, the player can slide down two slopes for a shortcut to the entrance of the Gym.

==In the anime==
[[File:Cyllage Gym interior anime.png|thumb|250px|Cyllage Gym interior in the anime]]
The Cyllage Gym was briefly mentioned in ''[[XY016|A Jolting Switcheroo!]]'' by [[Lena|Lena's]] friend, who was heading there to challenge it.

The Cyllage Gym appeared in ''[[XY025|Climbing the Walls!]]'', where {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} visited it for Ash's Gym challenge. Like in the {{pkmn|games}}, the battlefield is located on the top of a tall climbing wall, but there is also an elevator for those who wish not to climb.

Before the {{pkmn|battle}}, Ash was informed that he was allowed to use all of his current Pokémon in hand against Grant's two Pokémon, as Grant wanted challengers to come at him with everything they had. Thanks to Ash's intensive training after witnessing Grant's [[XY020|battle]] against [[Viola]] at the [[Battle Chateau]], he was able to counter Grant's {{p|Onix}}'s {{m|Rock Tomb}} by having his {{AP|Froakie}} jump on the boulders, a tactic he had dubbed as "Rock Tomb Climb". Thanks to this method, Froakie was able to get close enough to finish Onix with a super effective {{m|Water Pulse}}.

Grant's second Pokémon, {{p|Tyrunt}}, proved to be a much tougher opponent, surprising Ash with its amazing jumping skills and ability to use {{m|Draco Meteor}}. With these factors on its side, Tyrunt managed to defeat both Froakie and {{AP|Fletchling}}, although not before receiving some damage from them, leaving Ash with just {{AP|Pikachu}}. Even though Tyrunt as a {{type|Dragon}} had the type advantage over Pikachu, Ash was able to come up with a counter method for Draco Meteor, having Pikachu jump on it by using {{m|Iron Tail}}, thus evolving "Rock Tomb Climb" into "Draco Meteor Climb". Afterwards, Pikachu sent one of Tyrunt's Rock Tomb rocks into the Royal Heir Pokémon's mouth with Iron Tail, and then finished it with a {{m|Thunderbolt}}, earning Ash the {{badge|Cliff}}.

'''Cyllage Gym''' (Japanese: '''ショウヨウジム''' ''Shōyō Gym'') is the official [[Gym]] of [[Cyllage City]] and the second Gym the player character challenges. It is based on {{type|Rock}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. The [[Gym Leader]] is [[Grant]], who will give out the {{badge|Cliff}} upon being defeated.

==In the games==
The Cyllage Gym exists within a large cave containing an underground waterfall. The Gym provides a bench in the rear where the {{player}} can sit and view the waterfall.

The Cyllage Gym was briefly mentioned in ''[[XY016|A Jolting Switcheroo!]]'' by Lyn's friend, who was heading there to challenge it.

The Cyllage Gym appeared in ''[[XY025|Climbing the Walls!]]'', where {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} visited it for Ash's Gym challenge. Like in the {{pkmn|games}}, the battlefield is located on the top of a tall climbing wall, but there is also an elevator for those who wish not to climb.

'''Mewtwo''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ミュウツー''' ''Mewtwo'') is a {{type|Psychic}} [[Legendary Pokémon]] introduced in [[Generation I]].

While it is not known to [[evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon, Mewtwo can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into two different forms:

* '''Mega Mewtwo X''' using [[Mewtwonite X]].
* '''Mega Mewtwo Y''' using [[Mewtwonite Y]].

It is a member of the [[Mew duo]] along with {{p|Mew}}.

A unique {{pkmn2|variant}} of Mewtwo called '''[[Shadow Mewtwo]]''' appeared in [[Pokkén Tournament]].

==Biology==
Mewtwo is an [[artificial Pokémon]]. It is a bipedal, humanoid {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with some feline features. Its body is primarily gray with a long, purple tail and a purple underbelly. On top of its head are two short, blunt horns, and it has purple eyes. A tube extends from the back of its skull to the top of its spine, bypassing its neck. It has a defined chest and shoulders, which resemble a breastplate. The three digits on each hand and foot have spherical tips. Its tail is thick at the base but thins before ending in a small bulb.

Mewtwo was created after years of horrific gene splicing and DNA engineering experiments based on {{p|Mew}}. It is widely known as one of the most powerful Pokémon in existence and is said to have the most savage heart among all Pokémon, lacking compassion and striking fear into its enemy with cold, glowing eyes. Because it was engineered to be the ultimate opponent in battle, it can only think of defeating its foes. In the first movie, where it was shown to be capable of levitation, telepathy, mind control, memory erasure, teleporting others to another location, and the ability to create powerful storms, {{OBP|Mewtwo|M01}} exemplified these vicious characteristics. However, it was [[Mewtwo Returns|later shown]] to be caring, protective, and even altruistic. Another {{OBP|Mewtwo|M16}} in the anime shared its aversion to contact with others but was much less belligerent. As shown in [[POKÉMON Detective Pikachu]], Mewtwo can also transfer a [[human]]'s soul into a Pokémon's body, causing this person to gain control of the Pokémon's body and abilities. Mewtwo conserves energy by remaining motionless in order to unleash its full power in battle. Though {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Rare Pokémon|rarely seen}} in the wild, it is said to be resting in a dark cave somewhere. It has a rivalry with Mew.

According to the [[Pokémon Mansion journals|scientific logs]] found in the {{ka|Pokémon Mansion}} of [[Cinnabar Island]], Mewtwo was born from a pregnant {{p|Mew}}, found deep in the jungles of [[Guyana]], whose embryo had been tampered with to alter its DNA. It was held and studied in the mansion where [[Mr. Fuji|a scientist]] performed horrific gene-splicing experiments that made it vicious and extremely powerful. It eventually broke free of the Mansion, destroying it in the process, and fled. It can be encountered in [[Cerulean Cave]], accessible only after a Trainer has proven their skill at the [[Indigo Plateau]].

Mewtwo is the [[signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Psystrike}}.

;Shadow Mewtwo
A unique {{pkmn2|variant}} of Mewtwo, called [[Shadow Mewtwo]], is very similar to standard Mewtwo, but with dark gray skin, a black tail with a yellowish orange tip, and a shard of [[Shadow Synergy Stone]] coming out of its shoulder. In the past, [[Anne]] was almost possessed by a Shadow Synergy Stone but was saved by Mewtwo, whom the Shadow Synergy Stone took control of and merged with instead. Under the stone's influence, Shadow Mewtwo travelled around [[Ferrum]], draining Gaia Power from other normal [[Synergy Stone]]s, which continuously increases its power.

===Forms===
Mewtwo has two forms. Mewtwo can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into either Mega Mewtwo X or Mega Mewtwo Y.

[[File:Mega Mewtwo X arm.jpeg|thumb|left|250px|Mega Mewtwo X stretching its arm.]]
[[Mega Evolution|Mega]] Mewtwo X is larger and bulkier than its normal state. The horns on its head are longer and extend from V-shaped ridges on its forehead. Additionally, the horns are now pointed and curve upward. It now has two tubes behind its neck, its eyes are light blue, and it has large, purple growths over its shoulders. Its torso is smooth and small compared to its long, bulky limbs, and a Y-shaped line connects the collar and underbelly. Its forearms and thighs each have two raised ridges and its digits are now longer and thinner. Its tail is slightly shorter and stiffer than before and has a curled tip. Its muscles are augmented with psychic power, giving it a grip strength of one ton and the ability to sprint 100 meters in two seconds. When using moves in battle, it is shown to be able to stretch its arms and legs.

Mega Mewtwo Y is smaller and lighter, losing its long tail and the tube behind its neck. However, it grows a long, purple appendage with a curled tip from the back of its head that is similar to its previous form's tail and also slightly resembles [[Jessie|Jessie's]] hairstyle. On its head, it has two pointed, backward-curving spikes and a half-ring structure connecting to the base of each and crossing over the top of its head. Its eyes are now red and slightly larger. The digits on its hands and feet are now purple and more bulbous and the middle toe is longer than the others. A bumpy ridge similar to a {{wp|sternum}} replaces the breastplate structure on its chest, but this form is still largely smoother than the other two. Despite its decreased size, it has phenomenal mental power and is capable of smashing buildings with a mere thought.

It was completed by [[Blaine]] sometime before ''[[PS034|And Mewtwo Too?!]]'', where it escaped from the hideout and settled into [[Cerulean Cave]]. The completion process involved Blaine using cells from his own arm, inadvertently also placing some of Mewtwo's cells into it. {{adv|Red}} and Blaine battled Mewtwo together, with Red eventually capturing it with Blaine's [[Master Ball]] in ''[[PS035|And Mewtwo... Three!]]'' and leaving it under the [[Gym Leader]]'s care.

Mewtwo also made further appearances in later arcs of the manga. In the {{MangaArc|Yellow}}, it assisted {{adv|Yellow}} and Blaine in battling against [[Lance]] on [[Cerise Island]]. In ''[[PS162|Heckled by Hitmontop]]'', {{DL|Legendary beasts (Adventures)|Entei}} burned away the Mewtwo cells in Blaine's body, allowing Mewtwo to live on its own and become a [[wild Pokémon]] again. It returned in the {{MangaArc|FireRed & LeafGreen}}, teaming up with Red, the only person to have put it in a [[Poké Ball]], to fight against {{adv|Giovanni}} and his {{adv|Deoxys}}. During this appearance, it was revealed to have gained the ability to {{pkmn2|talking|talk}} telepathically.

In the {{MangaArc|X & Y}}, Mewtwo reappeared in [[Kalos]], having reunited with Blaine and become the protector of [[Pokémon Village]]. When [[Team Flare]] started capturing Pokémon from the village, Mewtwo attacked [[Lysandre]] and fought the {{adv|Zygarde}} under his control, demonstrating its ability [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into both of its Mega forms in the process.

==Game data==
===NPC appearances===
* {{g|Sword and Shield}}: Powerful, uncatchable Mewtwo were part of a [[Wild Area News]] event from {{DL|Wild Area News|February 27 to March 1, 2020}} as part of a tie-in with [[Pokémon Day]]. If players could defeat these Level 100 [[Dynamax]] Mewtwo in [[Max Raid Battle]]s, they received rare and valuable rewards.
* {{eng|Pokémon Stadium}}: [[Pokémon Stadium (English)#Vs. Mewtwo|Mewtwo]] is the player's final opponent.
* [[Pokémon Stadium 2]]: {{ga|Silver}} uses a Mewtwo in the final battle.
* {{g|Pinball}}: Mewtwo appears in its own bonus stage, where the player must attempt to hit it 25 times within the two-minute time limit to win. Playing this stage repeatedly is the fastest way to build a high score, due to the extremely high point output of 50,000,000 points per hit earned by hitting Mewtwo.
* [[Pokémon Ranger: Guardian Signs]]: Mewtwo is the final boss of the game, battled once under the control of the evil [[Edward]] "The Thinker", and again under [[Purple Eyes]]. Before this, it is seen charging up in [[Kasa]]'s laboratory in the [[Sky Fortress]].
* [[Pokémon Puzzle League]]: Mewtwo reveals that it organized the Puzzle League to find a worthy foe and clones {{Ash}}'s Pokémon. In the Very Hard and Super Hard modes, Mewtwo is the final opponent.
* [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team]]: Mewtwo sleeps in the depths of the [[Western Cave]]. His slumber is interrupted by the arrival of Blastoise and [[Team A.C.T.|Charizard]], whom he defeats without an issue. Once the player confronts him at the deepest parts of the cave, it is possible to recruit Mewtwo.
* {{g|Super Mystery Dungeon}}: Mewtwo appears, having [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolved]] into Mega Mewtwo Y in order to telepathically link up the Pokémon of the world together to try and stop the [[Tree of Life]]'s ascent into space. Like all the other [[Legendary Pokémon]] gathered for this effort, Mewtwo is turned into stone when [[Dark Matter]] is able to regenerate itself. After Dark Matter's defeat, Mewtwo stays at the [[Island of Isolation]] as its lone inhabitant, and can be recruited if it is defeated.

==Trivia==
[[File:Shadow Mewtwo.png|thumb|100px|Shadow Mewtwo's unique aura]]
* One of the [[Pokémon Mansion journals]] states Mewtwo's birthday is February 6.
** The same journal implies {{p|Mew}} was impregnated with the modified clone, just like with real-life cloning. All other depictions show Mewtwo being grown using laboratory equipment.
* Mewtwo comes before Mew in the [[Pokédex]] despite being created from its modified DNA.
* Mewtwo was the first Pokémon seen in the English [[dub]], as it appears at the very beginning of the [[Pokémon Theme|first dub opening]].
* Mewtwo has the most {{pkmn|anime}} opening appearances of any [[Legendary Pokémon]], with seven in Japan.
* Mewtwo and {{p|Charizard}} share several [[Mega Evolution]] similarities. Both Pokémon are the only ones to have two Mega Evolutions instead of one. Both of their Y Mega Evolutions were revealed before their X ones. Both Pokémon change their typing in their X Mega Evolutions while they remain the same type in their Y Mega Evolutions. Both X Mega Evolutions are physically oriented while their Y Mega Evolutions are specially oriented.
* Mewtwo is depicted on the door of [[Bill]]'s lighthouse in ''[[EP013|Mystery at the Lighthouse]]'', despite having only been seen by [[Team Rocket scientists|its creators]] and [[Team Rocket]] at that point in the anime. Similarly, Mewtwo's sprite was depicted as a portrait in [[Viridian Gym]], despite being a public area.
* The island country of {{wp|Niue}} released a one-dollar coin featuring Mewtwo as part of a commemorative promotion for the Pokémon franchise, with Mewtwo on the reverse side and the nation's crest on the obverse.
* Mewtwo was originally depicted as the only member of its species, being a clone of Mew. In the {{pkmn|anime}} and {{pkmn|manga}}, however, it is implied that multiple Mewtwo have been created.
* Mega Mewtwo Y was the first [[Mega Evolution]] revealed to the public.
** It was also the first to appear in the anime, even before Mega Evolution was announced.
** Prior to the announcement of Mega Evolution, Mega Mewtwo Y was referred to as its 「覚醒した姿」 ''Awakened Form''.<ref>[http://wayback.archive.org/web/20130618180918/http://www.pokemon.co.jp/info/2013/06/130615_m02.html?a001=news ポケモン映画最新作『神速のゲノセクトミュウツー覚醒』へと続くオリジナルストーリーが、テレビで放送決定！]</ref> This term was also used in the {{ma|Genesect and the Legend Awakened|manga adaptation of the movie}}.
** Mega Mewtwo Y was designed by [[Tomohiro Kitakaze]].<ref>[https://twitter.com/kitakazeee/status/1149513798115459073 Tweet by 北風友裕 (@kitakazeee).] Posted on July 12, 2019.</ref>
* Mewtwo's Mega Evolutions are tied with Mega {{p|Rayquaza}} for the highest base stat total of all Pokémon, with 780, excluding the unobtainable [[List of Pokémon with form differences#Eternatus|Eternamax]] {{p|Eternatus}}.
** Mega Mewtwo X has the highest base {{stat|Attack}} of all Pokémon, as well as the highest single base stat and base {{stat|Special Attack}} of all {{type|Fighting}} Pokémon.
*** Mega Mewtwo X's Attack increase is the largest single stat increase of all Mega Evolutions, at 80 points.
** Mega Mewtwo Y has the highest base Special Attack of all Pokémon and the highest single base stat of all Psychic-type Pokémon.
*** With a Mild [[Nature]], perfect [[IV]]s, and optimized [[EV]]s, a [[Level]] 100 Mega Mewtwo Y's stats sum to 2038, the highest sum of any Pokémon.
* In [[Pokémon GO]], Shadow Mewtwo is the only {{OBP|Shadow Pokémon|GO}} that has a different aura from the other Shadow Pokémon that isn't an Apex Shadow; instead of purple fire, it is surrounded by an aura resembling its Psychic power. It does not have a unique appearance when purified, however.
* In {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}, {{pkmn2|wild}} Mewtwo are programmed to always be holding a [[Berserk Gene]], but Mewtwo can't be obtained in those games without trading. Even if Mewtwo could be found in the wild, the Berserk Gene would be consumed immediately, so the item wouldn't be obtainable.
* {{p|Lugia}} and {{p|Ho-Oh}}'s base stats are based on Mewtwo's, with some values swapped.

===Origin===
Like Mew, Mewtwo has some {{wp|embryo}} characteristics, but its body structure is much larger as a result of {{wp|Recombinant DNA|gene splicing}}. It also has some characteristics of a {{wp|grey alien}} and a {{wp|salamander}}.

Mega Mewtwo Y, much like Mew, has characteristics of a vertebrate {{wp|embryo}}.

====Name origin====
Mewtwo may be a combination of ''{{p|Mew}}'' or ''mutant (ミュータント)'' and ''two''.

List of Pokémon by animated series debut

2024-03-04T22:18:17Z

Dogleader: /* Trivia */

This is a list of Pokémon by the {{pkmn|anime}} episode they debuted in. Please note that Bulbapedia considers the {{pkmn|movie}}s, [[Pikachu short]]s, [[side story episodes]], and special episodes to be separate from the main anime, regardless of their canonicity, and therefore Pokémon like {{p|Victini}}, which have not yet appeared in an episode, do not have an episode listed.

'''Fraxure''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''オノンド''' ''Onondo'') is a {{type|Dragon}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation V]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Axew}} starting at [[level]] 38 and evolves into {{p|Haxorus}} starting at level 48.

==Biology==
Fraxure is a bipedal, draconic {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with long, gray tusks with red tips protruding from the sides of its mouth. These tusks are capable of breaking boulders. It has dark eyes with red irises, a gray face, and a cowl-like feature of green segments on its head, neck, back, and chest. Its arms have three red fingers, and its lower body is gray, with red speckles on the underbelly. It has red toes and a red tip on its tail.

Fraxure is very violent and territorial. Fights over turf often break out between it and another Fraxure. After a fight, it sharpens its tusks on river rocks, as they do not regenerate. It lives alongside rivers. Fraxure engages in violent confrontations with {{p|Bisharp}} for the locations of sharping stones. Fraxure uses its tusks only when necessary. The reason is once its tusks break, Fraxure will be unable to use it again. Fraxure uses its tusks to cut the prey in two different food portions, one for eating now and the second portion for later.

===Evolution===
Fraxure evolves from {{p|Axew}} and evolves into {{p|Haxorus}}.

(For specifics on this Pokémon's evolution in the games, refer to [[#Evolution data|Game data→Evolution data]].)

=====[[Iris's Fraxure]]=====
In ''[[JN065|Thrash of the Titans!]]'', {{an|Iris}}'s {{p|Axew}} was revealed to have fully evolved into {{p|Haxorus}}, with its Fraxure stage appearing in a fantasy in the same episode.

====Other====
In ''[[BW101|Drayden Versus Iris: Past, Present, and Future!]]'', Iris borrowed a Fraxure from the Opelucid Academy to battle other students when she was younger. Battling against an [[Altaria]], she ordered Fraxure to keep attacking, even when it was getting tired, resulting it an early defeat. She met up with Fraxure again in the same episode, apologizing to the Dragon-type for the earlier incident, and it forgave her.

===Minor appearances===
Fraxure debuted in ''[[BW006|Dreams by the Yard Full!]]'', where it was seen in {{TP|Iris|Axew}}'s dream about evolving, followed by Fraxure evolving into Haxorus.

Two Fraxure physically debuted in Iris's flashback in ''[[BW009|The Bloom Is on Axew!]]''.

In ''[[BW033|Iris and Excadrill Against the Dragon Buster!]]'', Iris's flashback featured a {{pkmn|Trainer}}'s Fraxure, getting beaten by [[Iris's Excadrill|Iris's Drilbur]].

In ''[[BW056|The Lonely Deino]]'', Iris's flashback featured a Fraxure that was scared away by a {{pkmn2|wild}} {{p|Druddigon}}.

In ''[[BW100|A Village Homecoming!]]'', multiple Fraxure were living in the [[Village of Dragons]].

A Fraxure appeared in ''[[XY005|A Blustery Santalune Gym Battle!]]''.

==Trivia==
* Fraxure represents {{wp|December}} in the [[Unova]] [[horoscope]].

===Origin===
Fraxure, as well as its final form Haxorus, is based in {{wp|dinosaur}}s. Its elongated tusks seem based in {{wp|pickaxe}} blades. Its crest may be based on a {{wp|Hadrosauridae|hadrosaurid}} (''{{wp|Saurolophus}}'', specifically), or perhaps a {{wp|Corytophanidae|Corytophanid}} such as the {{wp|brown basilisk}}.

Fraxure's design was reverse-engineered from Haxorus, which was one of the first Unova Pokémon to be designed.<ref>''Nintendo Dream'' Vol. 204, April 2011 ([https://web.archive.org/web/20110704155314/http://shellspider.blog101.fc2.com/blog-entry-502.html Shellspider's blog (Japanese)], [http://lavacutcontent.com/ken-sugimori-nintendo-dream-6/ Translation by Dr. Lava])</ref>

====Name origin====
Fraxure may be a combination of ''fracture'' and ''axe''.

Onondo may be a combination of 斧 ''ono'' (axe) ''dragon'', and ''-don'' (common suffix in dinosaur names derived from the Ancient Greek word for tooth).

'''Bellossom''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''キレイハナ''' ''Kireihana'') is a {{type|Grass}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation II]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Gloom}} when exposed to a [[Sun Stone]]. It is one of {{p|Oddish}}'s final forms, the other being {{p|Vileplume}}.

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

==Biology==
Bellossom is a primarily green {{wp|flowering plant}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with circular blue eyes and red markings on its cheeks. It has two bright red Rafflesia-like flowers on its head and green and yellow leaves around its waist that resemble a skirt, all adding to the appearance of a hula dancer. Bellossom's petals are said to be more beautiful the worse the aroma of the {{p|Gloom}} it evolved from. When it rubs the petals on its head together, it creates a pleasing sound. Bellossom does not possess feet; in the [[EP122|anime]], its center-most leaves bent as it was getting ready to spring, suggesting that it uses its leaves as substitutes for feet or legs. However, the Pokédex does classify it as a biped.

Bellossom is often seen dancing and chanting. In particular, Bellossom dances when cloudy weather persists, or when the heavy rainfall season ends and it is drawn out by the warm sunlight. Being the result of an evolution via [[Evolution stone]], Bellossom is rarely found in the wild, though they can be found in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Grassland Pokémon|grassy plains}}, and are more plentiful in the tropics.

===Evolution===
Bellossom evolves from {{p|Gloom}} and is one of the final forms of {{p|Oddish}}, the other being {{p|Vileplume}}.

(For specifics on this Pokémon's evolution in the games, refer to [[#Evolution data|Game data→Evolution data]].)

==Other appearances==
[[File:Sleep Powder SSBB.png|220px|thumb|Bellossom in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]]]
===[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]===
When released from a {{i|Poké Ball}}, Bellossom will use its {{m|Sweet Scent}} to put any nearby opponents into a deep sleep. Its animation is based on its same idle animation from [[''Pokemon Stadium 2'']]. As Bellossom stays on-screen for longer than most Pokémon, this gives the thrower time to power up a smash move. It is also available as a trophy.

====Trophy information====
"''From time to time, these beautiful flower Pokémon will gather in numbers and perform an odd sort of dance to call out the sun. While in the midst of this strange exhibition, their petals brush together to create a peaceful and soothing melody. A Gloom will only evolve into a Bellossom if it's exposed to a [[Sun Stone]].''"

===[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]===
Bellossom makes a return appearance in Brawl, once again using its {{m|Sweet Scent}} to put opponents to sleep and leave them vulnerable to attacks.

====Trophy Information====
''"A Flower Pokémon. After spells of cloudy weather, Bellossom will gather to call out the sun by performing a dance. When exposed long enough to the sun, the leaves on its body will spin around. {{a|Chlorophyll|A Bellossom's Speed is also known to increase with sun exposure}}. Its main specialty is poison attacks. Also, Bellossom will close its flowers when sleeping."''

===[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U]]===
[[File:Bellossom 3DS trophy SSB4.png|thumb|150px|Bellossom trophy in ''Super Smash Bros. for 3DS'']]
Bellossom returns as a Poké Ball summon, once again using {{m|Sweet Scent}} to put opponents to sleep.
It also appears as a trophy in both the 3DS and Wii U versions.

====Trophy information====
'''NA''': ''A Grass-type Pokémon, Bellossom evolves from Gloom, losing its secondary Poison type. It also gets smaller. It's most common to find Bellossom in tropical climates, grouped together and dancing. In Smash Bros., the Sweet Scent from Bellossom can put even the most hardened fighters to sleep.''

'''PAL''': ''Two unusual things happen when Gloom evolves into Bellossom: it gets smaller, and it loses its secondary type, Poison, becoming a purely Grass-type Pokémon. These Pokémon are most commonly found in groups in the tropics. Here, the more damage fighters have taken, the longer Sweet Scent keeps them asleep!''

===[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]===
Bellossom returns for the fourth time in the series, retaining {{m|Sweet Scent}}, which lulls nearby foes to sleep. Bellossom also appears as a {{sbw|Spirit}}.

===Evolution data===
Bellossom [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Gloom}} when exposed to a [[Sun Stone]]. Gloom cannot evolve into Bellossom in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} before the player obtains the [[National Pokédex]], as its evolution will be interrupted. Gloom also cannot evolve into Bellossom in {{LGPE}}, as Bellossom is not present in those games.

==Trivia==
[[File:182Bellossom GS.png|thumb|108px|Bellossom's GS artwork]]
* In its {{2v2|Gold|Silver}} artwork, Bellossom's body is colored blue instead of the usual green. This color is similar to that of its evolutionary relatives and its {{Shiny}} color in [[Generation II]].
* Bellossom is the only single-type {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that evolves from a dual-type Pokémon.
* Bellossom shares its {{pkmn|category}} with {{p|Vileplume}} and {{p|Bellsprout}}. They are all known as the Flower Pokémon.
* In [[Generation II]], Bellossom was unable to learn {{m|Sludge Bomb}} via [[TM]], while its pre-evolutions could. This was fixed starting in [[Generation III]].
* Despite its apparent connection to {{wp|hula}} (a form of dance that originated in {{wp|Hawaii}}), Bellossom is not native to the [[Alola]] region and must be transferred in from other regions.

===Origin===
Bellossom seems to be based on a stereotypical {{wp|hula|hula dancer}}. The leaves encircling its body resemble a {{wp|grass skirt}}, which was popularized in {{wp|Hawaii}} through tourism. The flowers adorning its head resemble both ''{{wp|plumeria}}'' in concept, which are commonly worn in the hair and used to make {{wp|lei (garland)|leis}}, and ''{{wp|Rafflesia keithii}}'' in shape, which relates to its pre-evolved form {{p|Gloom}}. It is also reminiscent of a {{wp|bell}} due to its body shape and the ringing sound it produces as described in its Pokédex entries.

====Name origin====
Bellossom may be a combination of ''belle'', ''bell'', and ''{{wp|blossom}}''.

Kireihana may be a combination of 綺麗 ''kirei'' (beautiful), 鈴 ''rei'' (bell), and 花 ''hana'' (flower).

==Blurb==

May is headed for the Rubello Town Pokémon Contest, where at least one ribbon is needed to enter. She runs into Drew, and both of them are mobbed by the Mothers for Pokémon—a group of women who adore Pokémon Coordinators. One of them, Savannah, is a Coordinator herself, and will be competing in the upcoming contest, but she is really nervous.

Jessie from Team Rocket wants to enter the contest but can't since she has never won a ribbon.

Later, May is practicing outside the Pokémon Center when she spots Drew with his new Masquerain. She tries to show off her Bulbasaur, but it won't listen to her.

The next day, May is helping Savannah practice when they are accosted by Team Rocket, who takes both May's and Savannah's ribbons. The kids take down Team Rocket's balloon, and Jessie returns the stolen ribbons. Savannah's Lairon uses a Water-type move to send the thieves blasting off.

Savannah's daughter Sandra reassures her mother, while May is feeling confident again about the contest.

==Plot==
{{ashfr|The group}} enters [[Rubello Town]], on their way to {{Ash}}'s next [[Gym]] {{pkmn|battle}}, when [[Max]] spots a poster for a [[Pokémon Contest]] which is set to begin the next day. {{an|May}} is delighted and quickly decides to enter. {{an|Brock}}, however, notices a mysterious symbol on the poster, "[[Rank (Contest)|R1]]," the meaning of which is not known to the group. Fortunately, [[Nurse Joy]] explains that in order to enter the Rubello Contest, a {{pkmn|Coordinator}} must have earned at least one [[Ribbon]]. In the [[Pokémon Center]], May runs into [[Drew]], who is also entering the Pokémon Contest. After insulting May, she gets angered with him, but before anything can happen, Drew is engulfed by a swarm of rabid female fans. Drew isn't exactly happy to see these fans, as they lean towards the obsessive side, but May becomes jealous nonetheless. The jealousy is forgotten when one of the women recognizes May and the group crowds around her instead. However, the fans seem more interested in [[Norman]] than either May or Max. During the discussion, [[Savannah]], the head of the group, explains that they saw May in the {{to|Verdanturf}} Contest. Savannah also reveals that she will be entering the Rubello Contest as well. The group also introduces themselves with a cheer as the [[Mothers for Pokémon]], also known as MFP. They are a group of wives and mothers who love Pokémon. They decide to throw a party for May and Max. One of them tells Ash that he isn't on the list of "promising and handsome young {{pkmn|Trainer}}s."

Meanwhile, {{TRT}} enters the town very fatigued, but [[Jessie]], upon seeing the Contest poster, decides to enter. [[James]] and {{MTR}} groan. When she discovers that she needs a Ribbon to enter, and having none, she decides to steal one and enter the Contest. Back at the reception, Savannah and the MFP compliment May and her father, Norman. Ash mutters angrily to himself, saying he does all the hard work, training and Gym battles, and is jealous of May. Nonetheless, Ash vehemently denies his jealousy when Max asks about his complaining. At the other table, Savannah and May realize that neither of them have picked Pokémon for the Contest. Savannah shows May her {{p|Lairon}} and {{p|Flareon}}. While showing May her Pokémon, Savannah reveals that this R1 competition requires the use of two Pokémon; one for the appeals round and one for the Battle Round. While Savannah only has to decide the order, May faces a more difficult decision; picking two candidates from her four Pokémon lineup. While Brock and Savannah go grocery shopping and meet Savannah's daughter [[Sandra]], May, Ash, and Max talk the Pokémon choice over. Savannah and Sandra invite the company to dinner in the end.

May trains late into the night, testing all four of her Pokémon to see which is the best choice for the upcoming Contest. {{TP|May|Bulbasaur}} stumbles and trips in its attempted combination, but May remains confident and happily remembers the compliments she got from the MFP earlier that day. Her reminiscence is interrupted by Drew's voice, calling out orders to his new {{p|Masquerain}}. Drew notices May watching him and brags that "winning this Contest will be a cinch." Drew also notices May's Pokémon, and inquires about her new Bulbasaur, a rare find in the [[Hoenn]] region. Drew insults May's Bulbasaur as undisciplined. His comments provoke May, who decides to use Bulbasaur in the Contest, a decision which startles the rest of the group. Meanwhile, Savannah nears the breaking point from stage fright, but completely forgets her fear at the sight of Bulbasaur, which she says was her first Pokémon long ago. May and Savannah decide to start a practice battle to train, with Bulbasaur having the disadvantage against Savannah's Flareon. However, the battle is cut short by Team Rocket's interruption.

James and Meowth are less than enthusiastic about the Ribbon theft operation, but Jessie sends out her {{TP|Jessie|Dustox}} to combat the Pokémon Savannah and May already have out. However, Ash, Brock, and Max quickly arrive on the scene. Flareon's {{m|Flamethrower}} is deflected by {{TP|Jessie|Wobbuffet}}. [[Ash's Pikachu]] and [[Brock's Lombre]] and {{TP|Brock|Mudkip}} are quickly called out to join the battle. Dustox uses {{m|Poison Sting}} while Pikachu uses {{m|Thunderbolt}} to block. Wobbuffet deflects a pair of {{m|Water Gun}} attacks. Jessie orders her Dustox to attack Sandra with {{m|Psybeam}}, but that's the breaking point for Savannah. She becomes angry that Jessie would dare attack her daughter and orders Flareon to launch another Flamethrower attack. Wobbuffet steps forward, but the attack was aimed at the balloon, not Wobbuffet. Team Rocket goes down in flames. Jessie declares that she would rather give up James and Meowth than the Ribbons. This angers James and Meowth, who convince Jessie to surrender the Ribbons to the group, since nobody would believe the ribbons are hers. Sandra and Savannah launch a {{m|Water Pulse}} which sends Team Rocket blasting off. In the end, the Coordinators anxiously await the start of the Rubello Town Contest.

==Trivia==
* In this episode, {{TRT}} uses a {{DL|Team Rocket mottos|A Fan with a Plan motto|variation}} of their motto.
* The English dub title is a pun on the phrase "a man with a plan".
* The {{pkmn|Contest}} poster featured in the beginning of the episode shows a {{p|Bulbasaur}} among other Pokémon. {{an|May}} chooses to use {{TP|May|Bulbasaur}} this episode.
* [[Advance Adventure]] and music from ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'' are used.
* Despite having made its main series debut in ''[[EP040|The Battling Eevee Brothers]]'', 311 episodes ago, this is the first time that {{p|Flareon}} has received a [[Pokédex]] entry in the anime.

===Errors===
[[ File:PTC AG077 answer.png|thumb|200px|The {{pkmn|Trainer's Choice}} error]]
* This infamous [[Pokémon Trainer's Choice]] segment incorrectly claims that {{p|Arbok}} evolves into {{p|Seviper}}. {{p|Seviper}} and the other two choices, {{p|Sableye}} and {{p|Suicune}}, don't evolve at all, and {{p|Arbok}} is the only Pokémon in an evolution chain.
* In both the original version and the dub, May mentioned that she used {{TP|May|Skitty}} in the {{to|Fallarbor}} Contest, but she actually used {{TP|May|Beautifly}} in the [[AG051|Contest in question]].
* When Team Rocket recites their {{motto}}, [[Jessie]] says the Contest is tonight, but at the end of the episode, May says the Contest is tomorrow.
** Also during Team Rocket's motto, [[James]] states that Jessie's winning streak would go from zero to two, but with May's two [[Ribbon]]s and [[Savannah]]'s Ribbon, her "winning streak" would be three.
*** However, he probably said it so it would rhyme.
* Savannah calls Brock "a ''men'' who really understands".
* When May checks {{p|Masquerain}} with her [[Pokédex]], her glove is not covering her thumb.
* May's Pokédex states that {{p|Flareon}} is '''the''' evolved form of {{p|Eevee}}, when it is actually '''an''' evolved form of Eevee.

===Dub edits===
* In the English dub, Jessie kept trying to convince herself that she had won a Ribbon. In the original Japanese version, she thought R1 stood for "Rocket Number 1".
* In the English dub, Jessie sticking out her tongue and pulling down her eyelid (known as {{wp|akanbe}} in Japan) at the same time were removed.

====[[Pokémon Trainer's Choice]]====
* Question: Trainers, Which one of these Pokémon evolves into {{p|Seviper}}?
* Choices: {{p|Sableye}}, {{p|Arbok}}, {{p|Suicune}}
* Answer: OK, Trainers! If you chose {{p|Arbok}}, you were right!

==Blurb==

The kids arrive in a city where May lets her Bulbasaur to enjoy the scenery. Meanwhile, Team Rocket is at the Pokémon Center (PC) making "repairs" to the transporter machine.

Upon arrival at the PC, Ash calls Professor Oak. They decide that Ash's and May's Bulbasaur should meet, so Oak transports Ash's over. Unfortunately Team Rocket has rerouted the machine so they get all the full Poké Balls, and only empty Poké Balls arrive at the PC.

The kids confront Team Rocket outside the PC. James has attached a new engine to their balloon which malfunctions, so the thieves go blasting off. They drop one Poké Ball—Ash's Bulbasaur.

Team Rocket gathers up everything from the crash site and runs, but a hole in James' bag leaves a trail of Poké Balls along the way. The two Bulbasaur quickly pick up the trail to a cabin where the thieves are hiding.

Team Rocket seals up the cabin and begins fending off Ash and friends, using the Poké Balls as projectiles. The two Bulbasaur try to sneak the rest of the Poké Balls out through a window with their vines.

Pikachu breaks down the wall with Iron Tail, and the Bulbasaur team up to battle Team Rocket. Pikachu sends the thieves blasting off.

Back at the PC, Ash talks to Professor Oak again, who begs Ash to send Bulbasaur back. Everyone says goodbye, and the little Grass-type is sent home.

==Plot==
{{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} arrive at a town. {{an|May}} decides to bring out {{TP|May|Bulbasaur}} in order to check out the sights. Bulbasaur suddenly runs to a nearby store rack and wants to eat the displayed fruit, but May explains the concept of buying items. When [[Max]] calls to May, Bulbasaur slips away and climbs into the bed of a pickup truck full of flowers, smelling them. May runs to the truck, but the vehicle pulls away. They pursue the truck, and Ash and {{an|Brock}} speed up, getting the driver's attention and making him stop the truck, allowing May to get Bulbasaur. At the [[Pokémon Center]], {{TRT}} is in disguise and working on the Pokémon Transporter. Unbeknownst to [[Nurse Joy]], they are really altering it in order to steal the imported {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. Ash and friends arrive as Team Rocket finishes and leaves. Ash calls {{an|Professor Oak}} and Max mentions May's Bulbasaur. She brings Bulbasaur to the screen and earns the professor's approval. Ash asks about his {{AP|Bulbasaur}}, and the professor brings it to the screen. May's Bulbasaur already shows friendliness to Ash's. He asks the professor to send his Bulbasaur through the transporter in order to meet May's Bulbasaur.

Professor Oak agrees and puts Bulbasaur into its {{i|Poké Ball}} before transporting it. The transport appears to be successful and Ash picks up the Poké Ball, but it won’t open. Other children also point out the same problem, as their Poké Balls are empty. Max immediately suspects that the repair guys were fakes. Nurse Joy does not believe so until the real repair guys arrive. Team Rocket is outside the building snatching the Poké Balls as Nurse Joy leads Ash and friends to the back, encountering Team Rocket. They quickly escape in their balloon. Ash and May send out {{AP|Taillow}} and {{TP|May|Beautifly}} to stop them, but [[James]] fires rocket boosters to evade, even dodging {{AP|Pikachu}}'s {{m|Thunderbolt}}. However, the engines fail, sending the balloon flying far away. A Poké Ball falls from the sky and May's Bulbasaur grabs it. The ball opens and releases the Pokémon inside, and it's Ash's Bulbasaur. Bulbasaur jumps into Ash's arms and May's Bulbasaur reaches out with a vine. Ash's Bulbasaur matches the vine in a high-five style as May brings her Bulbasaur closer. They decide to allow the Bulbasaur to team up to search while Taillow and Beautifly cover from the air.

Team Rocket begins to gather all the stolen Poké Balls into wrapped sacks. James's bag develops a hole and it drops Poké Balls, leaving a trail. Meanwhile, while Ash and the others are searching, May's Bulbasaur drifts to sniffing flowers. Ash's Bulbasaur explains to May's Bulbasaur and gets it back on track. Taillow and Beautifly find the Poké Ball trail. A {{pkmn2|wild}} {{p|Shroomish}} and {{p|Nuzleaf}} lead Ash and friends to the balloon's landing site, where they find one of the Poké Balls. Taillow brings another Poké Ball and leads them to the ball trail. Team Rocket gets to their cabin and {{MTR}} notices that James's bag had a hole and he dropped the Poké Balls. They find Ash and friends outside, but they retreat back inside and James activates a switch, raising steel walls around the perimeter and rendering it impregnable. However, Ash notices an open window, allowing May and the others to go onto the roof and retrieve the stolen property. Meowth throws Poké Balls and James uses the skis as a makeshift baseball bat to send them outside, using the Pokémon inside, a {{p|Golbat}} and a {{p|Primeape}}, to attack Ash. May orders the two Bulbasaur to send their vines inside and attempt to grab the sack of Poké Balls. James tries to tie the vines together, but the Bulbasaur smack James back with the vines. Brock recalls the attacking Primeape and Golbat while Pikachu attacks the wall with {{m|Iron Tail}}, forcing Team Rocket out.

[[Jessie]] and James send out {{TP|Jessie|Seviper}} and {{TP|James|Cacnea}}. Seviper's {{m|Poison Tail}} and Cacnea's {{m|Pin Missile}} put down May's Bulbasaur. Although May calls for a {{m|Razor Leaf}} attack, Cacnea's Pin Missile is too strong for May's Bulbasaur. Ash's Bulbasaur steps in and stops the attack with {{m|Vine Whip}}. Seviper and Cacnea attempt to attack with Poison Tail and {{m|Needle Arm}}, but both Bulbasaur use Vine Whip to push them back and seize the stolen Poké Balls. They try to attack again, but Pikachu stops them with Thunderbolt and sends them flying. The Bulbasaur give a Vine Whip high five. Ash and the others return the Poké Balls. Professor Oak calls back and asks for Ash's Bulbasaur to return and stop the {{t|water}} and {{t|grass}} Pokémon from fighting. Ash sends his Bulbasaur back to [[Professor Oak's Laboratory]] as May's Bulbasaur appears to have made a positive change. Ash and friends leave the Pokémon Center and hit the road.

==Trivia==
* The episode's English [[dub]] title is a pun on the dance name "''{{wp|hokey pokey}}''".
* This is the first time since beginning his travels in the [[Hoenn]] [[region]] that {{Ash}} has called up any Pokémon from [[Professor Oak's Laboratory|Professor Oak's lab]] or used any of the Pokémon he {{pkmn2|caught}} before arriving in Hoenn other than {{AP|Pikachu}}.
* [[Advance Adventure]] and music from ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'' can be heard in this episode.
* The {{pkmn|Trainer}}s that appeared in ''[[EP027|Hypno's Naptime]]'' reappear in this episode.

===Errors===
* Since {{TRT}} finished corrupting the [[Poké Ball]] transporter only when {{Ash}} and others entered the Pokémon Center, not many people could have used it before Ash, if he was not the first. Obviously, Team Rocket could not have stolen three large bags of Poké Balls.
* In the scene where {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} found {{TRT}}'s balloon, Poké Balls could be seen in the basket even though Team Rocket took every single one of them.
* After {{an|Professor Oak}} returns {{p|Bulbasaur}} to its Poké Ball, he puts it on the transporter upside down, but in the next shot, it is right side up.
* When {{TP|Jessie|Seviper}} uses {{m|Poison Tail}} for the first time, the outlines around the purple markings are a light purple instead of black.
* {{p|Beautifly}} is pictured where {{p|Nuzleaf}}'s name appears in the Pokémon Trainer's Choice.
** Additionally, {{p|Combusken}} would be the worst choice of the three, as it is part {{type|Fighting}}, weak to {{type|Psychic}}s. Beautifly would instead be the best choice, as it is part {{type|Flying}}, which is effective against {{p|Meditite}}, a part {{type|Fighting}}.
* When Team Rocket gets in their [[Team Rocket's mechas|balloon]] and take off, the pipe that is connected to the [[Pokémon Center]] appears to be overlapping.
* In the original Japanese version, when Shroomish and Nuzleaf talk to the Bulbasaur, they use the wrong voices. This error is fixed in the English dub.

===Dub edits===
* When Primeape punches Ash, the English dub uses an impact star in place of the actual punch.

====[[Pokémon Trainer's Choice]]====
* Question: Trainers, which Pokémon is the best choice to battle {{p|Meditite}}?
* Choices: {{p|Beautifly}} ({{p|Nuzleaf}}), {{p|Combusken}}, {{p|Heracross}}
* Answer: OK, Trainers! If you chose {{p|Combusken}}, you were right!

==Blurb==

Continuing to recover from his Oreburgh City Gym battle loss, Ash gets in plenty of training with Turtwig, Pikachu and Aipom. Dawn tries to convince Ash to send home for Pokémon that are strong against Rock Types, but Ash is persistent on using the ones he currently has. Brock lends Ash Sudowoodo to train against, as its Rock Head Ability is immune to such moves as Double Edge.

Back at the Pokémon Center, Dawn finds out that the next Pokémon Contest is at Floaroma Town, where she intends on heading next. Team Rocket steal the Fossil Restorer, unaware that a Pokémon is still inside. Out pops an Aerodactyl, which refuses to be caught by Jessie. Dawn finds Aerodactyl when it attacks the citizens of Oreburgh City; in the ruckus, Kabuto and Armaldo get free as well!

Roark, Brock and Ash triple team the Ancient Pokémon, but Team Rocket show up to steal them all. When Kabuto and Armaldo return to their Poké Balls, Dawn's Piplup and Buneary use their agility and grace to avoid Aerodactyl's Giga Impact, allowing Dr. Kenzo to get it back into its Poké Ball! Roark's newly evolved Rampardos finishes off Team Rocket's robot and blasts them off, putting everything back as it should be. Ash asks Roark if he can take on Rampardos in their rematch and he agrees, giving Ash time to craft a battle strategy!

==Plot==
After {{Ash}}'s [[Oreburgh Gym]] [[DP016|defeat]], he is not letting the loss put him down as he [[Pokémon training|train]]s with his {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} for a [[rematch]]. While {{AP|Pikachu}}, {{AP|Aipom}}, and {{AP|Turtwig}}’s attacks are impressive, smashing through coal ore pillars with ease, {{an|Dawn}} brings up the [[type]] disadvantage his [[party|team]] (save for Turtwig) faces against [[Roark]]'s {{t|Rock}} Pokémon. Though Ash refuses to retrieve his other Pokémon from {{an|Professor Oak}} or borrow [[Dawn's Piplup]] for the match. He remarks that [[Paul]] [[DP015|won with type disadvantages]] and knows that he can do the same, which settles the difference. However he does take up {{an|Brock}}’s offer, deciding to practice against {{TP|Brock|Sudowoodo}} since it resembles Roark's Pokémon by type and the {{a|Rock Head}} [[Ability]]. Dawn is also inspired and decides to head back to the [[Pokémon Center]] to practice new combinations. When she does get back, the TV inside shows [[Marian]] announcing the location of the next [[Pokémon Contest]], which is in [[Floaroma Town]].

[[Dr. Kenzo]] and his scientists at the [[Oreburgh Mining Museum]] soon discover that one of the three [[Fossil]] revival machines was stolen, immediately reporting it to [[Officer Jenny]]. None of the revived Pokémon were affected, but one points out that the stolen machine had a Fossil inside, which was in the process of being revived. The culprits, {{TRT}} celebrates the successful theft of the machine. They decide to revive Fossils, but they realize that none of them grabbed any Fossils during the heist, which sparks an argument. The revival machine suddenly activates, cutting off the argument, one of the screens displaying complete rebirth. The doors open, and smoke pours out as the figure inside awakens, revealed to be an {{p|Aerodactyl}}. [[Jessie]] tosses a {{i|Poké Ball}} to catch it, but Aerodactyl merely swats it away. It flies off and initiates {{m|Giga Impact}}. While [[James]] tries to use information cards to figure out what the attack is, Aerodactyl swoops down and attacks Team Rocket before it flies towards [[Oreburgh City]].

Ash is still training hard with Brock, pitting Turtwig against Sudowoodo. Ash is trying to find the strategy he needs to win, reflecting on his loss on how Roark's Pokémon were fast as well as being able to negate pure power attacks. Roark comes by, intent on digging for more Fossils, and praises Ash’s effort. When he finds a Fossil on the ground, he reveals to Ash and Brock on how he met his {{TP|Roark|Cranidos}}, being the first Fossil to be revived via the machine.

Dawn is training with her Pokémon when Aerodactyl appears, firing {{m|Hyper Beam}} at random. She quickly shields her Pokémon, avoiding the blast, before checking her [[Pokédex]] to confirm the {{t|Flying}} creature’s identity. Aerodactyl continues to rampage across town, firing Hyper Beam at random locations, making its way to the museum. It destroys part of the structure, releasing a revived {{p|Armaldo}} and {{p|Kabutops}}. The scientists rush out to try and contain the Pokémon, but Aerodactyl fires a Hyper Beam to stop them. Armaldo and Kabutops attack Aerodactyl with Hyper Beam and {{m|Mud Shot}}, but it flies off, leaving Armaldo and Kabutops to roam freely.

{{si|Ian}} rushes back to Roark and alerts him to the situation. Officer Jenny quickly orders all citizens to evacuate. Officer Jenny and the scientists corner Armaldo and Kabutops at the Oreburgh Mine. Roark steps in and sends out Cranidos to distract them with {{m|Flamethrower}}. Pikachu and Sudowoodo attempt to get close, but Armaldo and Kabutops stop them with fierce attacks. Cranidos uses {{m|Zen Headbutt}}, which freezes both Pokémon. However, Team Rocket shows up and grabs all three Fossil Pokémon with their revival machine [[Team Rocket's mechas|mecha]].

Pikachu prepares to attack, but Roark reminds them that the Fossil Pokémon and the revival machine are both at risk. Aerodactyl shows up and fires a Hyper Beam, freeing all three Pokémon and knocking down the machine. Dr. Keno and his assistant quickly [[recall]] the Armaldo and Kabutops as Aerodactyl launches Giga Impact at Cranidos. Cranidos stops the attack at first, but it gets pushed back into the group, sending them all rolling. Aerodactyl fires Hyper Beam at Ash and Pikachu, but Dawn arrives, her {{TP|Dawn|Buneary}} and Piplup stopping the attack with {{m|Ice Beam}} and {{m|Bubble Beam}} respectively. Dawn steps forward as Aerodactyl initiates another Giga Impact. Buneary and Piplup wait until it gets close before jumping and spinning past the attack with ease, with the evasive technique impressing Ash. The pair jump and knock down Aerodactyl before Dr. Kenzo throws a Poké Ball, catching it.

Team Rocket uprights the mecha, though Roark confronts them. As they try to run, Cranidos pursues, but {{MTR}} fires a net missile to imprison Cranidos. Cranidos begins glowing, [[Evolution|evolving]] into {{p|Rampardos}} and shattering the net. Rampardos charges forward and easily catches up, grabbing the machine and detaching the revival machine before using Zen Headbutt to destroy the mecha and send Team Rocket flying. Dr. Kenzo is grateful to have the Fossil restorer back, while and Officer Jenny salutes Rampardos for its help. Afterwards, Ash asks Roark for [[DP018|the rematch the next day]], which is accepted. Ash asks Dawn to help him with training for the battle, which she accepts since it’ll be good practice for her as well.

'''Bounsweet''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''アマカジ''' ''Amakaji'') is a {{type|Grass}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation VII]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Steenee}} starting at [[level]] 18, which evolves into {{p|Tsareena}} when leveled up while knowing {{m|Stomp}}.

==Biology==
Bounsweet is a small {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} resembling a mangosteen. Most of its body is pinkish-purple with a short, white bottom around its waist, which resembles the flesh of a {{wp|mangosteen}} when it is cut open. It has beady yellow eyes and two tiny legs. On top of its head is a green {{wp|sepal|calyx}}. This structure consists of four leafy green formations and a short stem.

This Pokémon exudes a delicious smell from its entire body, which has made it popular with people of the [[Alola]] region. This scent has a calming effect on people, so they are often used as living air fresheners. However, its sweet scent has also caused it to be swallowed whole or collected by other Pokémon, especially {{p|Toucannon}} and {{p|Greedent}}. It is too sweet for human consumption, but its sweat can be used to make a juice. Bounsweet was highly valued by humans in the past in a time when sweets were rare.

While fleeing danger, Bounsweet skips along in a way that does not convey its desperation. As a result, no one ever comes to help it. It has been known to drive away enemies by rotating its calyx, but it becomes dizzy afterward.<ref>[http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon/bounsweet/ Pokémon Sun and Moon site | Bounsweet]</ref>

===Evolution===
Bounsweet evolves into {{p|Steenee}}, which evolves into {{p|Tsareena}}.

===Major appearances===
====[[Mallow's Bounsweet]]====
{{an|Mallow}} has had a Bounsweet since she was a child; she debuted in ''[[SM001|Alola to New Adventure!]]''. Being Mallow's only Pokémon, she was often seen [[Walking Pokémon|outside of her Poké Ball]]. She eventually [[evolution|evolved]] into a Steenee in ''[[SM018|A Seasoned Search!]]'', and later into a Tsareena in ''[[SM082|All They Want to Do is Dance Dance!]]''.

===Minor appearances===
A {{pkmn|Trainer}}'s Bounsweet appeared in ''[[SM017|Crystal-Clear Sleuthing!]]''.

Five Bounsweet appeared in ''[[SM046|Deceiving Appearances!]]'', where they surrounded Mallow's Steenee at [[Aether Paradise]]. One of them was then picked up and cuddled by her.

Four Bounsweet appeared in ''[[SM100|Battling the Beast Within!]]'', with three being {{pkmn2|wild}} and the fourth appearing in a flashback under the ownership of a Trainer living in what is now the [[Ultra Ruin]].

'''Tentacruel''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ドククラゲ''' ''Dokukurage'') is a dual-type {{2t|Water|Poison}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation I]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Tentacool}} starting at [[level]] 30.

It is [[Ecologically similar Pokémon|ecologically similar]] to {{p|Toedscruel}}; however, the two are separate species.

==Biology==
[[File:Tentacruel orbs.png|thumb|left|250px|Tentacruel's orbs glowing]]
Tentacruel is a large, {{wp|cnidarian}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. It has a clear, light blue body that has two large, red orbs on either side and smaller orb in the center. Its eyes are visible in its round lower body, which is black. Extending from its lower body are two blue, beak-like appendages and numerous grayish tentacles. Its red orbs glow whenever it is excited or agitated, communicating with its own kind, and it may alert others to danger by stridently flashing them. They are also capable of refracting sunlight, storing energy, and firing ultrasonic waves.

Tentacruel's primarily light blue body helps it camouflage in the water. It has a total of 80 tentacles, which it can readily extend during hunts to ensnare its prey in a net-like shape before immobilizing it with poison. The tentacles can grow or shrink with ease. Its tentacles can absorb water to stretch even further. Most of these tentacles are hidden and kept short, leaving up to 14 exposed. However, it tends to lose tentacles as it ages. While Tentacruel are rarely seen, they can gather in large groups which scares away any nearby fish Pokémon. Tentacruel lives in underwater rock formations and can be found throughout the {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Sea Pokémon|ocean}}.

Although {{p|Toedscruel}} bears a strong resemblance to Tentacruel, the two species are biologically unrelated.

===Evolution===
Tentacruel evolves from {{p|Tentacool}}.

(For specifics on this Pokémon's evolution in the games, refer to [[#Evolution data|Game data→Evolution data]].)

==Trivia==
* In the [[Pokémon Red and Green beta|Pokémon Red and Blue beta]], Tentacruel was originally known as "Manowar", after the {{wp|Portuguese man o' war}}.
* Tentacruel, {{p|Toedscruel}}, and their respective evolutionary lines have exactly the same base stats in the same distribution.
* Even though many of Tentacruel's Pokedex entries mention it having 80 tentacles, it is never shown to have that many, with its main artwork only showing up to 14 tentacles.
===Origin===
Tentacruel may take inspiration from the {{wp|jellyfish}} and the {{wp|Portuguese man o' war}}, as evidenced by its {{pkmn|category}} and prototype English name, respectively. It also shares some characteristics of a {{wp|squid}}. Additionally, Tentacruel resembles several varieties of the {{wp|bug-eyed monster}} and other alien invaders from 1950s {{wp|B movie|B-movies}}, which is reflected in its ability to fire lasers from the gems on its head.

====Name origin====
Tentacruel may be a combination of ''{{wp|tentacle}}'' and ''cruel''.

Dokukurage may be a combination of 毒 ''doku'' (poison) and 水母 ''kurage'' ({{wp|jellyfish}}).

{{spoilers}}

==Blurb==

Ash delivers the mysterious GS Ball to a renowned Pokémon expert, but Team Rocket wreaks trouble when they attempt to harvest the Apricorns essential to local Poké Ball production.

==Plot==
{{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} talk with [[Kurt]] and his granddaughter [[Maizie]] over some drinks. Maizie thanks the trio for helping to save the [[Slowpoke Well]] and her grandfather. Ash brings up {{an|Professor Oak}}'s errand, the [[GS Ball]], and hands it to Kurt, but the trio are left shocked when Kurt declares that the GS Ball is some kind of [[Poké Ball]]. Kurt apologizes for not knowing much about it but reassures them that he will look at it closer. Ash and his friends make a video call to Professor Oak and informs him that Kurt is now inspecting the GS Ball. Professor Oak is pleased and urges them to report any new findings as soon as possible. Ash then asks about Kurt's expertise, and Professor Oak explains that Kurt is a famous craftsman who makes special Poké Balls using [[Apricorn]]s. Ash then asks about Apricorns, and Oak adds that the trees grow around Kurt's home. {{an|Misty}} then alerts Ash to a [[White Apricorn]] tree growing in the backyard. Ash then runs off to find Kurt to get himself an Apricorn Poké Ball, leaving the Professor still on the phone.

Ash calls out to Kurt, but Maizie tells him to be quiet as it is hard work making Poké Balls. Maizie, Ash and his friends watch Kurt perform more work on an Apricorn Ball before placing it back into the kiln. Ash then repeats his request, but Misty tells him to not be so rude. Kurt happily gives the trio a [[Fast Ball]] each as a thank you for [[EP142|their earlier assistance at the Slowpoke Well]]. Maizie adds that the Fast Balls are from White Apricorns and are used to {{pkmn2|caught|catch}} Pokemon that [[escape|run away]]. She then explains that there are seven different Apricorn types, each making a different Poké Ball. Ash is eager to get an Apricorn Ball of each color and Kurt agrees provided Ash retrieves the Apricorns himself. Maizie then offers to take Ash up into the mountains to locate the other varieties, and he happily agrees. {{TRT}} also happens to overhear the conversation and set their sights on stealing the Apricorns to make money selling them.

Maizie first shows Ash and his friends a [[Pink Apricorn]] tree, explaining that they are used to make [[Love Ball]]s, which are helpful when catching Pokémon of a different [[gender]]. {{an|Brock}} then asks if he could use the Love Ball to catch [[Officer Jenny]] or [[Nurse Joy]], but Misty tugs on his ear and pulls him into line. Ash spots some Apricorns that are growing on a tree and runs for them, but Maizie tells him they are not ready to be picked yet. The next tree they find grows [[Yellow Apricorn]]s, which are used to make [[Moon Ball]]s. Ash tries to pick one, but once again, Maizie stops her. A mysterious group of Pokémon appear from the tree, and Ash's [[Pokédex]] confirms that they are {{p|Pineco}}. Brock declares that he is wanting to catch one, seeing it as a challenge for any aspiring {{tc|Pokémon Breeder}}. He rushes over, but trips over a rock and headbutts the tree, which causes the Pineco to {{m|Self-Destruct}}. Then, they find some [[Green Apricorn]]s, the raw material of [[Friend Ball]]s, but run away when attacked by some {{p|Beedrill}}. They manage to avoid their stingers after falling off a ledge.

Next, the group finds a tree full of [[Red Apricorn]]s, which are used to make [[Level Ball]]s. However, when they approach the tree, they fall into a hole dug by Team Rocket. The evil trio stares down at the [[twerp]]s and performs their {{motto}}. {{MTR}} then lassos {{AP|Pikachu}} with a rope and [[Jessie]] puts him into an electric-proof jar. They then announce that they will steal all the Apricorns with a vacuum. Ash has {{AP|Bulbasaur}} pull them out of the hole with its {{m|Vine Whip|vines}}. Just as Team Rocket tries to vacuum up the Apricorns they fall into a hole {{m|Dig|dug}} by some {{p|Diglett}}. Pikachu is thrown into the air, but Ash manages to catch him and releases Pikachu from the jar.

After the distraction has been dealt with, Ash and his friends finally get to collect some Apricorns, as he and Misty pick a [[Blue Apricorn]] each to get [[Lure Ball]]s made out of them. Maizie directs everyone's attention to a nearby [[Black Apricorn]] tree, telling them that they're used to make [[Heavy Ball]]s. As Ash gets close he stops after coming face to face with another horde of Pineco. Brock again prepares to catch himself a Pineco, but Team Rocket brings out a bicycle-powered fan in an attempt to blow all the Apricorns out of the tree. Instead, all the Pineco are blown out of the tree, while Brock tries to keep them from getting hurt. Ash has Pikachu use {{m|Thunderbolt}} on the machine, but the attack instead helps the fan to become more powerful.

Suddenly, one Pineco tries bouncing up the hill towards Team Rocket and it tackles the trio off their bicycle. Team Rocket are left red-faced and decide to teach the Pineco a lesson. Jessie sends out her {{TP|Jessie|Arbok}} to give chase. James then orders his {{TP|James|Victreebel}} to attack, but it instead latches onto James's head. Pineco craftily dodges Arbok and rushes towards Team Rocket again. At Maizie's suggestion, Brock throws the Fast Ball that Kurt gave to him earlier and catches the {{TP|Brock|Pineco}}. Victreebel and Arbok go on the attack again, but Pikachu evades them both. Pikachu then uses {{m|Quick Attack}} and hits Team Rocket’s Pokemon with a {{m|Tackle}} attack, knocking them into Team Rocket. Pikachu follows up with a {{m|Thunderbolt}} which causes Team Rocket’s fan to explode and send the trio blasting off again.

Maizie is glad the Apricorn is safe and thanks Ash for his efforts. Meanwhile Brock calls out his newly-caught Pineco. He apologizes for catching it under strange circumstances, but declares that they will be the best of friends. Pineco appears happy before exploding in Brock's arms, leaving its new {{pkmn|Trainer}} covered in soot. The blast also causes a Black Apricorn to land on Ash's head. Later, Maizie and the others return to Kurt's home to hand the craftsman their Apricorns, two Blue and a Black one, to be turned into Poké Balls. Brock asks if Kurt has learned anything new about the GS Ball, but Kurt remains clueless about the mysterious item. Kurt adds that the GS Ball is sealed by a powerful lock and asks if he can inspect it a little while longer, to which Ash and the others agree. Kurt then informs Ash that the [[Azalea Gym]] would be open, so Ash sets off to the [[Gym]].

==Trivia==
* This episode marks the final physical appearance of the [[GS Ball]], which is left with [[Kurt]]. The storyline is dropped at this point, and besides a flashback in ''[[EP148|No Big Woop!]]'', the GS Ball is never seen again due to a planned arc featuring {{p|Celebi}} being scrapped by the {{pkmn|anime}} producers.
** The Celebi arc was subsequently used as part of the [[M04|fourth movie]]'s plot, although the GS Ball itself wasn't referenced or even took part in the {{pkmn|movie}}'s events.
* Like in the {{pkmn|games}}, Kurt has a [[White Apricorn]] tree near his house.
** Also like the games, Kurt gives a [[Fast Ball]] each to {{Ash}}, {{an|Misty}}, and {{an|Brock}} for saving the [[Slowpoke Well]], though this is only like {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, as in [[Generation II]], he gives a [[Lure Ball]] instead.
*** Though Brock uses his Fast Ball in this episode, Ash and Misty's Fast Balls do not make any further appearances, nor are they ever mentioned again.
* This episode marks the anime debut of the Fast, [[Level Ball|Level]], Lure, [[Heavy Ball|Heavy]], [[Love Ball|Love]], [[Friend Ball|Friend]], and [[Moon Ball]]s.
** This is also the only episode in the anime to date to feature Level or Friend Balls in any capacity, briefly appearing in [[Maizie]]'s fantasy.
* The episode's English [[dub]] title is based on the phrase "going ape".
** The title can sometimes be seen written in the form "''Goin' Apricorn!''".
* This episode was partially adapted into the book [[Secrets of the GS Ball]].
* Yet again, Misty doesn't seem to care about the {{t|Bug}} type {{p|Pineco}}. This is because, as revealed in [[EP161|a later episode]], Misty wasn't even aware that Pineco was a Bug type.

===Errors===
* When Ash is first shown holding his Fast Ball, the yellow part of the ball is missing the black lines through the middle that represent the hinges.
* When Ash, {{ashfr}}, and Maizie fall off the cliff while being pursued by {{p|Beedrill}}, Ash falls off last, but ends up on the bottom of all of them on the ground.
* In the {{pmin|Poland|Polish}} dub, after {{AP|Pikachu}} dodges {{TP|Jessie|Arbok}} and {{TP|James|Victreebel}}, Ash tells Pikachu to use {{m|Thunderbolt}} instead of {{m|Quick Attack}}.
* Near the end of the battle with Team Rocket, Ash tells Pikachu to use Quick attack, and then Tackle. However, Pikachu can't learn Tackle.

===Dub edits===
* [[Pokémon Karaokémon]]: [[Pikachu (I Choose You)]]

[[File:Travis.png|thumb|250px|Travis and his Pikachu]]
{{main|Travis}}
Travis is another doppelgänger of {{Ash}}, who appeared in flashback in ''[[EP108|Pokémon Double Trouble]]''. As with Arnold, Ash's first encounter with [[Luana|his mother]] was an unexpected hug due to mistaken identity. However, in this case, Travis had simply left on a Pokémon journey and the fact that both were traveling with a {{p|Pikachu}} had helped cause the misunderstanding.
{{-}}

==Mansion Owner==
The Mansion Owner is a minor character who was only shown in the episode ''[[EP232|Just Waiting on a Friend!]]'' in a portrait and flashback. He is the owner of the Ninetales that lived in the mansion, and he also bears a very close resemblance to Brock, which Ninetales used to her gain so he would stay with it in the mansion, even making an illusion of putting his own outfit on Brock. The Mansion Owner left on a journey two centuries ago, but never came back, leaving Ninetales all alone after the servants left. He also wrote an entry in his diary which Ash and Misty discovered.

==Team Righteous==
[[File:Team Righteous.png|thumb|250px|Team Righteous]]
{{main|Team Righteous}}
Team Righteous are doppelgängers of [[Jessie]] and [[James]] who appeared in a video in ''[[HS03|We're No Angels!]]''. Unlike other doppelgängers, they are fictional characters who had a television show a long time ago. They even had their own {{p|Meowth}} who was just a person in a costume. Unlike {{TRT}}, they fight for good instead of evil.
{{-}}

==Max==
[[File:Max AG049.png|thumb|250px|Max]]
{{main|Max (AG049)|Max}}
Max is a doppelgänger of [[Max]], who appeared in ''[[AG049|Maxxed Out!]]''. The doppelgänger Max had a more central role in this episode than both of Ash's look-a-likes and got in a fight with his same-named lookalike as they both felt jealous thinking that the other was already a Trainer. Later on, the two discovered that they have more similarities than their name and appearance and became friends.
{{-}}

==Harley's classmate==
[[File:The girl resembling May.png|thumb|250px|The girl resembling May]]
According to [[Harley]] in ''[[AG174|New Plot, Odd Lot!]]'', he had a classmate as a child, who looked similar to {{an|May}}. She took his lunch from him, and he explained to {{TRT}} that she was the reason he hated May so much. It has been debated whether the girl existed or was just made up by Harley to get Team Rocket on his side. There was no mention of her when Harley [[AG103|first met May]] and she would contradict the original reason of Harley's grudge.
{{-}}

==Princess Salvia==
[[File:Salvia.png|thumb|250px|Princess Salvia]]
{{main|Princess Salvia}}
Princess Salvia is a doppelgänger of {{an|Dawn}}, appearing in ''[[DP171|Dawn of a Royal Day!]]''. She swapped places with Dawn in a plotline reminiscent of ''{{wp|The Prince and the Pauper}}'', taking part in the [[Arrowroot Town]] [[Pokémon Contest]] with her {{TP|Dawn|Togekiss}} while Dawn pretended to be a member of the high class. This worked until Dawn discovered that Princess Salvia was expected to watch the final match of the [[Contest Battle|Battle Stage]] and ended up shouting encouragement to her lookalike. Princess Salvia later gave Togekiss to Dawn so it could continue taking part in Pokémon Contests.

==Kiawe's friend==
[[File:Ash lookalike SM022.png|thumb|250px|The boy resembling Ash Ketchum]]
According to {{an|Kiawe}} in ''[[SM022|A Shivering Shovel Search!]]'', he had a friend who resembles {{Ash}}. Both of them and their other friends mistook a {{p|Sandygast}} for a shovel.
{{-}}

==Ultra Ruin student==
[[File:Ultra Ruin past Litten.png|thumb|250px|The boy resembling Ash Ketchum]]
In a flashback of {{al|Dia}}'s home world in ''[[SM100|Battling the Beast Within!]]'', a {{pkmn|Trainer}} resembling {{Ash}} was revealed to once be a resident of what is now the [[Ultra Ruin]]. Elements of {{ga|Red}}, Ash's {{pkmn|games|game}} counterpart, are also included in this Trainer's design. {{-}}

==Soleil==
[[File:Soleil.png|thumb|250px|Soleil]]
{{main|Soleil}}
Soleil is a girl from [[Johto]] and a doppelgänger of [[Chloe]], appearing in ''[[JN079|Night and Day, You are the Ones!]]''. She was to be declared the liege of the [[Eclipse Castle]], but when she and Chloe switched around their clothes to fool around with their friends, [[Ilunas]] mistook Chloe for her doppelgänger and kidnapped her. After realizing his mistake, he tried to force Soleil to make him the new liege instead. After Ash and [[Goh]] had found and freed Chloe, she and {{TP|Chloe|Eevee}} joined Soleil and her {{p|Espeon}} and {{p|Umbreon}} in battling against Ilunas, eventually defeating him. After Soleil had taken on the liegeship of the castle, she made Ilunas her helper.

'''Toxel''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''エレズン''' ''Eleson'') is a dual-type {{2t|Electric|Poison}} [[baby Pokémon]] introduced in [[Generation VIII]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Toxtricity}} starting at [[level]] 30. The {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Toxtricity|form}} it evolves into depends on its [[Nature]] (unaffected by [[mint]]s).
* Toxel evolves into Toxtricity '''Amped Form''' if its Nature is Hardy, Brave, Adamant, Naughty, Docile, Impish, Lax, Hasty, Jolly, Naive, Rash, Sassy, or Quirky.
* Toxel evolves into Toxtricity '''Low Key Form''' if its Nature is Lonely, Bold, Relaxed, Timid, Serious, Modest, Mild, Quiet, Bashful, Calm, Gentle, or Careful.

==Biology==
Toxel is a small, quadrupedal, purple, lizard-like [[Baby Pokémon|baby]] {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. It has a lightning bolt-like protrusion on its forehead, along with four conical spikes surrounding its head. It has violet eyes with black pupils and white sclerae. Toxel typically has its light purple tongue sticking out of its mouth. Its cheeks are marked with a very pale whitish lavender spot on each side. Its chest also has a pale lavender-white spot, heavily resembling a baby's bib. Its lower half is light purple with lines running down the sides, resembling a diaper and entirely covering its short, tapering tail. Its arms and legs have two stubby fingers and toes each, with pale white spots under the toes and palms. Toxel also has two white spots on its back, just below its head.

Toxel has two sacs inside its body, one to store poison and one to store electricity. It is able to drink dirty water and filter it into a poison that is harmless to it. By manipulating the chemical makeup of this poison, it can produce electricity. Toxel relays the electric poison through its skin. While the voltage produced by this electrified poison is weak, it can cause a tingling paralysis if touched. Toxel has a selfish nature and loves seeking attention.

==Trivia==
* No other {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} have the same [[List of Pokémon with unique type combinations|type combination]] as Toxel and its evolved form.
* Toxel is the only Pokémon with a base stat total of 242.
* Toxel is the first [[baby Pokémon]] introduced since [[Generation IV]], and is the only baby Pokémon to be introduced alone in a [[generation]].
* Among the natures Toxel can have, if it has one that lowers the Attack stat, it will always evolve into Low-Key Form Toxtricity; likewise, if Toxel has a nature that lowers the Special Defense stat, it will always evolve into Amped Form Toxtricity.
* Toxel and its evolution were designed by [[Yusuke Kozaki]].<ref>[https://twitter.com/kymg/status/1341384533459910656 Tweet by コザキユースケ/Yusuke Kozaki (@kymg).] Posted on December 22, 2020.</ref>

===Origin===
Toxel may be based on different {{wp|lizard}} and {{wp|frog}} species, mainly a {{wp|poison dart frog}} due to its {{t|Poison}} typing and toxic skin. It may also be based on a human baby as its bottom-half closely resembles a diaper, the white spot on its chest is similar to a bib, and it also crawls on its hands and has temper tantrums. The spikes on Toxel's head make it resemble an {{wp|Ankylosaurus}}. The two white circles on its back are based on {{wp|Mongolian spot}}s.<ref>[https://twitter.com/kymg/status/1423593378059411458 Tweet by コザキユースケ/Yusuke Kozaki (@kymg).] Posted on August 6, 2021.</ref>

====Name origin====
Toxel may be a combination of ''toxic'', ''toddle'', ''cell'', ''electric'', and ''little''.

Eleson may be a combination of ''electric'' and ''poison''.

'''A Shadow of a Drought''' (Japanese: '''ヒワダタウン！ヤドンのいど！！''' ''{{tt|Hiwada|Azalea}} Town! {{tt|Yadon|Slowpoke}} Well!!'') is the 142nd episode of the [[Pokémon anime]]. It first aired in Japan on April 6, 2000 and in the United States on March 3, 2001.

{{spoilers}}

==Blurb==

Ash carelessly makes enemies of the Slowpoke-worshipping residents of a town, but sees a chance at redemption when Team Rocket arrives to capture each and every one of these revered Pokémon.

==Plot==
As {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} stop on their way to the [[Azalea Gym]] because of the glaring heat. {{an|Misty}} calls out {{TP|Misty|Staryu}} and has it use its {{m|Water Gun}} like a fountain to cool the trio off, and they play in the water. Seeing this, Ash calls out his own {{t|Water}} Pokémon, {{AP|Squirtle}}. However, Squirtle's Water Gun attack sends Ash flying into a nearby boulder.

{{TRT}} is on the road also, and very thirsty. [[Jessie]] and [[James]] want their share of water from their canteen, but {{MTR}} drank it already. They get mad at him, but Meowth soon spots a well nearby, its base is carved to look like a {{p|Slowpoke}}. Meowth pumps the well's lever for a bit, but Jessie and James receive a face full of sand instead of water. Next, Meowth tries a {{wp|Dowsing|pair of divining rods}}. He soon finds a likely spot and tells Jessie and James to dig, but they soon become too exhausted from the soaring temperature. Meowth brings out a remote control, and their latest [[Team Rocket's mechas|mecha]], the Super {{p|Diglett}} Mark Two. Jessie angrily hits him with her shovel before they all climb aboard and dig into the ground. The trio eventually reaches a large underground chamber that contains a sparkling pool of water. They rush out of their machine to take a drink, only to notice that they're surrounded by many Slowpoke. Meowth finds a [[signpost|sign]] that says this is the [[Slowpoke Well]], and local legend has it that Slowpoke have the power to make it {{m|Rain Dance|rain}} when they {{m|yawn}}. Team Rocket makes a plan to capture the Slowpoke and get rich by charging the townspeople to have them make it rain.

Meanwhile, Ash's group has finally reached [[Azalea Town]]. They notice that the river has run dry because of a recent drought. Ash wants to go to the [[Azalea Gym]], but Misty reminds him about his errand to give the [[GS Ball]] to [[Kurt]]. They argue for a bit, then Brock reads a sign that says the Gym is also closed because of the drought. The trio decides to look around town for Kurt instead.

Azalea Town seems strange, as Ash comments on the many signs depicting Slowpoke plus the multiple Slowpoke lying everywhere. While walking, Ash accidentally steps on a Slowpoke's tail. Slowpoke has a delayed response to the pain, but a local happened to witness Ash step on Slowpoke, and soon a mob of angry townspeople arrive to chase Ash's group out of town. They manage to lose the crowd temporarily in a park, then a man wearing a Slowpoke costume catches the group’s attention. He then tells them to put on some Slowpoke costumes and sit still. The people reach the park and give up their search after only seeing four Slowpoke sitting by a fountain. Brock then asks the stranger why Slowpoke are so important, and the man explains that 400 years ago, there was a drought just like this in Azalea Town. One day, a Slowpoke came to the town, and when it yawned, it started to rain and the town was saved. Since then, Slowpoke have been treated with respect. Misty then asks the man why he is wearing a Slowpoke costume, and he explains that it is to avoid scaring the Slowpoke away. Suddenly, the man remembers that he has an errand to run and quickly leaves.

At the Slowpoke cave, the man hears something happening and goes to investigate. He sees Team Rocket in their machine chasing the Slowpoke and yells at them to stop, but they mistake him for a large Slowpoke because he is still wearing his costume and chase after him. He hurts his back trying to run away. In town, Ash and his friends continue their search for Kurt. [[Maizie|A little girl]], who turns out to be Kurt's granddaughter, informs them that Kurt isn't home and that he went to check out something at the Slowpoke Well.

The three friends go to the well and enter the cave, and find the man lying on the ground. He tells them about the giant machine. Ash and Misty run ahead while Brock helps the injured man to his feet. Ash quickly realizes that the machine belongs to Team Rocket, and the evil trio soon launches into their {{motto}}. Team Rocket captures more Slowpoke with nets. Ash then vows to stop them, but James points out that the cave floor is wet and any {{t|Electric}} [[Move|attacks]] will shock the Slowpoke. So Ash calls on {{AP|Heracross}} instead, and he throws the tank up into the air. However, Team Rocket fires a missile at Heracross, which [[fainting|knocks him out]], and Ash has to return him to his {{i|Poké Ball}}. Team Rocket gloats and escapes by digging a tunnel deeper underground.

Unexpectedly, one Slowpoke lets out a large [[cry]], and the remaining Slowpoke all stand up and begin to walk out of the cave. Ash, Misty, and Brock, carrying the man on his back, follow the Slowpoke outside, and they watch them line up on the edge of a cliff that surrounds the well. One by one they yawn causing storm clouds to gather and it starts to rain. The four are forced to climb up onto the roof of the well as the area begins to flood. Water also pours into the cave and down into the tunnel that Team Rocket's machine dug. The machine is washed out of the tunnel, and it breaks in half when it lands on the ground. Team Rocket crawls out of their wrecked machine to see Ash and {{AP|Pikachu}} standing in front of them. The trio rushes back into the wreck for cover, but Pikachu's {{m|Thunder}} attack sends them blasting off. The captured Slowpoke appear from the mecha's debris uninjured and exchange stares with their fellow Slowpoke.

Brock wonders if the Slowpoke really made it rain. Ash believes they did, and the man simply says that the [[Pokémon world]] is full of mysteries. Back in Azalea Town, the river is running again and the crops are recovering. Brock and the others return to the park from earlier and watch as several Slowpoke enjoy a dip in the refilled fountain. The man adds that he managed to calm the townspeople and explained that Ash accidentally stepped on the Slowpoke’s tail. He then offers to take the group on a tour of the town, but Misty says they have to find Kurt. The trio is left in shock after the man takes off his costume head and reveals that he is Kurt.

==Trivia==

* The episode's English title is based on the phrase "a shadow of a doubt".
* {{TRT}}'s attack on [[Slowpoke Well]], along with [[Kurt]]'s actions and his subsequent injury, are events that occur in [[Generation II]] and {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s|its remakes}}.
* The ability of the {{p|Slowpoke}} to bring rain may be derived from {{m|Rain Dance}}.
* This episode was partially adapted into the book [[Secrets of the GS Ball]].
* This is the last [[S03|third season]] episode to air in {{pmin|Finland}} and {{pmin|Sweden}}.
* Team Rocket's dialogue during the scene where {{MTR}} pumps water from the Slowpoke Well for [[Jessie]] and [[James]] to drink from is a reference to a ramen commercial.

===Errors===
* During the close-up shot of Ash's face in the Slowpoke suit, the costume's teeth are colored black instead of white.
* Yawn doesn't have the ability the cause rain. It only makes a target fall asleep.

'''Toxel''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''エレズン''' ''Eleson'') is a dual-type {{2t|Electric|Poison}} [[baby Pokémon]] introduced in [[Generation VIII]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Toxtricity}} starting at [[level]] 30. The {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Toxtricity|form}} it evolves into depends on its [[Nature]].
* Toxel evolves into Toxtricity '''Amped Form''' if its Nature is Hardy, Brave, Adamant, Naughty, Docile, Impish, Lax, Hasty, Jolly, Naive, Rash, Sassy, or Quirky.
* Toxel evolves into Toxtricity '''Low Key Form''' if its Nature is Lonely, Bold, Relaxed, Timid, Serious, Modest, Mild, Quiet, Bashful, Calm, Gentle, or Careful.

==Biology==
Toxel is a small, quadrupedal, purple, lizard-like [[Baby Pokémon|baby]] {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. It has a lightning bolt-like protrusion on its forehead, along with four conical spikes surrounding its head. It has violet eyes with black pupils and white sclerae. Toxel typically has its light purple tongue sticking out of its mouth. Its cheeks are marked with a very pale lavender, almost white, spot on each side.

The upper half of its body also has a small pale lavender-white spot on its chest, heavily resembling a baby's bib. Its lower half is light purple with lines running down the sides, making the bottom half resemble a diaper, which entirely covers its short tapering tail. Its arms and legs have two stubby fingers and toes each with three spots on the bottom; one on each toe and one on the very bottom of its foot. Toxel also has two white spots on its back, just below its head.

Toxel has a poison sac which it uses to store its poison and secretes the same poison through its skin. By manipulating the chemical makeup of this poison, it can produce electricity. Toxel relays the electric poison through its skin. While the voltage produced by this electrified poison is weak, it can cause a tingling paralysis if touched.

==Trivia==
* No other {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} have the same [[List of Pokémon with unique type combinations|type combination]] as Toxel and its evolved form.
* Toxel is the only Pokémon with a base stat total of 242.
* Toxel is the first [[baby Pokémon]] introduced since [[Generation IV]], and is the only baby Pokémon to be introduced alone in a [[generation]].
* Toxel is the only Pokémon that has the {{a|Rattled}} [[Ability]] without it being its {{DL|Ability|Hidden Ability}}.
* Among the natures Toxel can have, if it has one that lowers the Attack stat, it will always evolve into Low-Key Form Toxtricity; likewise, if Toxel has a nature that lowers the Special Defense stat, it will always evolve into Amped Form Toxtricity.
* Toxel and its evolution were designed by [[Yusuke Kozaki]].<ref>[https://twitter.com/kymg/status/1341384533459910656 Tweet by コザキユースケ/Yusuke Kozaki (@kymg).] Posted on December 22, 2020.</ref>

===Origin===
Toxel may be based on different {{wp|lizard}} and {{wp|frog}} species, mainly a {{wp|poison dart frog}} due to its {{t|Poison}} typing and toxic skin. It may also be based on a human baby as its bottom-half closely resembles a diaper, the white spot on its chest is similar to a bib, and it also crawls on its hands and has temper tantrums. The spikes on Toxel's head make it resemble an {{wp|Ankylosaurus}}. The two white circles on its back are based on {{wp|Mongolian spot}}s.<ref>[https://twitter.com/kymg/status/1423593378059411458 Tweet by コザキユースケ/Yusuke Kozaki (@kymg).] Posted on August 6, 2021.</ref>

====Name origin====
Toxel may be a combination of ''toxic'', ''toddle'', ''electric'', and ''little''.

Eleson may be a combination of ''electric'' and ''poison''.

==Blurb==

The semifinal battle gets under way, pitting Ash against Tobias. The talented Trainer is preceded by his reputation—he’s been defeating his opponents using only his Darkrai. Tobias comes on strong and quick, defeating Ash’s Heracross, Torkoal, and Gible one after another! But when Ash brings out Sceptile, a spirited skirmish begins, and for the first time during the Sinnoh League, Darkrai is defeated!

Tobias is unfazed by this turn of events. He next brings out Latios, another surprisingly powerful Pokémon. And with one move, Ash’s Sceptile is unable to battle.

Ash follows up by bringing out Swellow, and a sky battle between Swellow and Latios ensues. Latios proves too powerful for Swellow, and Ash is left with one Pokémon, while Tobias still has five!

When Ash turns to Pikachu as his final Pokémon, the action-filled bout gets even more intense, and eventually both Latios and Pikachu are rendered unable to battle at the same time. And since Pikachu is Ash’s last Pokémon, Tobias is declared the winner! This is the first time Ash has made it to the final four of an event of this magnitude, and he has gained the respect of Tobias—who then goes on to triumph in his final battle and is declared the winner of the Sinnoh League!

We leave our heroes as Barry bids them all farewell. Both Ash and Dawn vow to continue pursuing their dreams, while in the face of their determination, Brock finds himself questioning his own plans…

==Plot==
{{Ash}} is up against {{si|Tobias}}, the {{pkmn|Trainer}} who managed to defeat all the [[Sinnoh]] [[Gym Leader]]s and all the other competitors using only his {{p|Darkrai}}. As the {{pkmn|battle}} commences, Tobias sends out Darkrai to battle first, while Ash sends out his {{AP|Heracross}}. {{an|Brock}} comments that it is a good choice to use a {{t|Bug}} and {{type|Fighting}} Pokémon like Heracross against a {{type|Dark}} Pokémon like Darkrai. Tobias tells Darkrai to use {{m|Ice Beam}} whilst Ash has Heracross use {{m|Hyper Beam}}, and the two attacks collide. Ash then commands Heracross to use {{m|Horn Attack}}, but Darkrai intercepts it with {{m|Dark Void}}, putting Heracross straight to {{status|sleep}}. However, Ash expected this, and has Heracross use {{m|Sleep Talk}}, which turns into {{m|Megahorn}}; the powerful Bug-type attack slams into Darkrai and causes it massive damage. However, it was ultimately in vain, because Darkrai fires right back with a super-effective {{m|Dream Eater}} attack, not only healing itself, but also [[Fainting|knocking Heracross out]] in one shot.

Ash recalls Heracross and sends out {{AP|Torkoal}}, whom he commands to use {{m|Flamethrower}} as Tobias commands Darkrai to use {{m|Dark Pulse}}. Darkrai's attack completely overpowers Torkoal's and knocks it out in one shot as well, and Ash is quickly realizing that Tobias and Darkrai are living up to their reputation. Ash decides to send out {{AP|Gible}} next and has him begin with {{m|Rock Smash}}, which lands and causes Darkrai super-effective damage. Tobias then calls for an Ice Beam, which Gible dodges before launching a {{m|Draco Meteor}}. However, Darkrai dodges it knocks Gible out with Dark Pulse, getting itself a third single-shot victory. Tobias compliments Ash on Gible's performance, revealing that he has not let his power go to his head, before asking who his next Pokémon will be.

Ash chooses {{AP|Sceptile}} as his fourth Pokémon, and Darkrai uses Ice Beam. Sceptile dodges and uses {{m|Quick Attack}}, but Darkrai dodges it. Ash then orders Sceptile to use {{m|Leaf Storm}}, but Darkrai hits him with a close-range Ice Beam before the attack can fully develop. Sceptile is hurt and stumbles, which allows Darkrai to land a hit with Dark Void to put Sceptile to sleep, before following up with Dream Eater. After taking the attack, Sceptile is shown in the midst of a dream, lost in a dark, empty void. Moments later, the {{pkmn|category|Forest Pokémon}} sees a light in the distance, from which it hears its Trainer's voice calling out to it; it then immediately wakes up, much to Tobias' shock. Ash then commands Sceptile to use {{m|Leaf Blade}}, and it lands a brutal hit on Darkrai, finally managing to take the Pitch-Black Pokémon out of the battle. Everyone cheers for Ash for managing to make history and be the first to bring Tobias' Darkrai down, but Brock reminds {{an|Dawn}} and {{an|Barry}} that he is not out of the woods yet, since Tobias still has five other Pokémon for him to defeat.

Tobias recalls Darkrai into its {{i|Poké Ball}}, and, impressed with Ash, admits that he earned his spot in the semi-final rounds for accomplishing what no other Trainer could whilst battling him. For the first time in Sinnoh, he now has to send out a second Pokémon. However, he shows no signs of worry and throws a {{i|Poké Ball}} into the air, which releases a {{p|Latios}}. This puts Ash, Dawn, Brock, and Barry in disbelief, but Ash quickly gets over it and has Sceptile use another Leaf Blade attack as Tobias commands Latios to counter with {{m|Giga Impact}}. The attacks collide and cause a massive explosion, but Sceptile gets the worst of it and faints.

Ash recalls Sceptile and thanks it for a stellar performance before sending out his fifth Pokémon, {{AP|Swellow}}. After Swellow and Latios let out their battle cries, the former goes in for a Quick Attack, but Latios easily dodges. The battle then turns into an aerial chase as the {{pkmn|category|Swallow and Eon Pokémon}} keep in pursuit of one another. However, despite the former's amazing speed, it pales in comparison to that of the latter; Latios has Swellow beat both on offense and defense, being more than fast enough to not only dodge all of its offensive advances but also stay right on its tail. This is further proven when Swellow's attempt to throw Latios off with a nosedive fails, and further still when, after Swellow flies high up in the air and quickly descends with {{m|Aerial Ace}}, Latios intercepts it with a powerful {{m|Luster Purge}}, knocking it out in a single shot.

Ash recalls Swellow and thanks it for trying its best, before bowing his head in desperation now that he only has one Pokémon left to take on his opponent's remaining five. {{AP|Pikachu}} is also upset at the seemingly hopeless situation, but Ash tells him that, no matter how bleak things may look, he has no intentions of giving up, a sentiment with which Pikachu agrees. Ash then pulls his [[Ash's hat|hat]] backward and sends Pikachu in as his sixth and final Pokémon, both of them more than ready to give it their all. Despite having gained respect for his opponent, Tobias is certain that this will be their last bout and gets ready to end this battle once and for all.

Pikachu starts off with a Quick Attack, and Latios tries to dodge, but Pikachu manages to land a glancing blow on him. Pikachu turns around and uses {{m|Volt Tackle}}, but Latios overpowers him with a Giga Impact. Latios prepares to use another Giga Impact, and Ash has Pikachu use {{m|Iron Tail}} to try and counter, but he ends up getting overpowered again and lands on his stomach. Latios then mimics Swellow's earlier trick and flies high up in the sky, before coming down fast while at the same time charging a Luster Purge. Ash commands Pikachu to dodge, and despite the severe damage he has taken up to this point, he narrowly does so, before jumping onto Latios' back once he flies past him. Pikachu then uses a close-range {{m|Thunderbolt}}, causing Latios considerable damage. Tobias commands Latios to shake Pikachu off, and he tries to do so by flying around erratically, but Pikachu manages to keep hold of him and use another close-range Thunderbolt, pushing Latios closer to his limit. Tobias then orders Latios to use {{m|Light Screen}}, which causes Pikachu's relentless Thunderbolts to not even faze him. Latios then flies high up in the sky again, and, as his Light Screen wears off, he finally manages to shake Pikachu off. With Pikachu in a vulnerable freefall, Tobias commands Latios to return to the ground and finish him off with Luster Purge. However, Ash commands Pikachu to use Volt Tackle, which slowly but surely cuts through the Luster Purge. Ash then yells at the top of his lungs for an Iron Tail attack, which, in conjunction with the Volt Tackle, completely cuts through the Luster Purge and scores a direct hit on Latios, causing a giant explosion that knocks out all of the monitors.

The battlefield is covered with smoke as everyone is desperate to see what happened. Eventually, the smoke clears and reveals that Pikachu has gone down, but not without taking Latios down with him. As Ash has no Pokémon able to continue, Tobias is declared the winner by default. [[Paul]] is then shown having watched the battle on TV, and walks away in disappointment that his former rival has lost. Tobias approaches Ash and they thank each other for a spectacular battle. Dawn and Barry are upset over Ash's loss, but Brock points out that Ash was amazing and that this marks the first time he's ever made it into the Top 4.

Tobias is then shown defeating a Trainer's Magmortar with his Darkrai, winning him the Lily of the Valley Conference. Tobias is presented the Winners' Trophy by Cynthia and [[Charles Goodshow|Mr. Goodshow]] as fireworks fire off around the stadium. Later, Ash stands outside the stadium ready to get on his way when Dawn arrives and notes that although their journey together is ending soon, it feels like they've just begun. Brock then arrives and reminds them both that their journeys really are just beginning. Ash agrees, knowing he's still got a lot of work to do if he's ever going to get into the Champions League, while Dawn comments that she's got a lot to do if she's ever to become a [[Top Coordinator]]. Brock is happy to see that his friends still following their dreams, but this leaves him to wonder if he's following his own. Just then Barry turns up, telling Ash that while he might be stronger than him now, he plans to train and defeat him in their next battle. Ash laughs, and the two rivals say a final goodbye before Barry leaves, full of energy as always. And so, the gang prepares to set forth on the final leg of their journey back to [[Twinleaf Town]].

==Trivia==
[[File:Ash DP backwards hat.png|thumb|250px|Ash with his hat on backwards]]
* There is no [[Professor Oak's Big Pokémon Examination]] at the end of this episode. Instead, a minute-long preview for ''[[Pokémon the Series: Black & White]]'' is shown.
* This episode concludes the eight-part [[Lily of the Valley Conference]] arc.
* [[AG190|Another episode]] has a similar English [[dub]] title as this episode.
** Also, both of these episodes were the third to last of their respective [[series]], and featured the final {{pkmn|battle}} of {{Ash}}'s main quest at that time.
* This episode marks the only time Ash has flipped his [[Ash's hat|hat]] in ''[[Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl]]'' during battle.
* Music from ''[[M05|Pokémon Heroes: Latios and Latias]]'', ''[[M10|The Rise of Darkrai]]'', and ''[[M11|Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]'' are used in this episode.
* This episode's English dub title is a reference to the phrase "''the final frontier''".
* This is the only episode of [[S13|Pokémon Diamond & Pearl: Sinnoh League Victors]] that kept all Japanese music intact, including the title card music.
* This episode marks the final appearances of {{an|Barry}} and [[Charles Goodshow]] to date.
** At the time of this episode, this was also Paul's final appearance, until he eventually returned in [[JN114]].
* This is the only episode in ''Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl'' to feature a [[Full Battle]] not involving [[Paul]].

===Errors===
* The second time {{AP|Sceptile}} hits {{p|Darkrai}} with {{m|Leaf Blade}}, Sceptile's tail doesn't connect to its body.
* After commanding {{AP|Pikachu}} to use {{m|Quick Attack}} the first time, Ash then commands Pikachu to use {{m|Volt Tackle}}. However, when Pikachu collides with {{p|Latios}}'s {{m|Giga Impact}}, he appears to be using Quick Attack instead of Volt Tackle.
* After {{si|Tobias}} defeats Ash, the scoreboard shows a {{p|Mismagius}} silhouette in place of {{AP|Swellow}}'s. Additionally, the {{AP|Torkoal}} and Darkrai silhouettes are slightly different from before.

===Dub edits===
* In the English dub, Jessie says to the customers that they shouldn't watch on an empty stomach and to eat some of the food. In the Japanese version, she specifies that she has rice crackers, caramel, juice, and popcorn.
* In the English dub, a customer asks if she has Darkrai merchandise. In the Japanese version, the customer wants an actual Darkrai.
* In the English dub, the announcer says that it was the first time Tobias' Darkrai was defeated. In the Japanese version, the announcers adds that it's the first time Tobias' second Pokémon had to be used in the league.

The '''Nintendo 3DS''' (Japanese: '''ニンテンドー３ＤＳ''' ''Nintendo 3DS'') is [[Nintendo]]'s handheld game console for the {{wp|history of video game consoles (eighth generation)|eighth generation}} of video games.

Announced in a March 23, 2010 press release<ref>[http://www.nintendo.co.jp/ir/pdf/2010/100323e.pdf Re: Launch of New Portable Game Machine] (retrieved March 26, 2010)</ref>, the Nintendo 3DS is fully backwards-compatible with all [[Nintendo DS]] games (except those that require the GBA slot). Its revolutionary feature, however, is its ability to display stereoscopic 3D graphics without the use of glasses, using the technique of {{wp|parallax barrier}}.

More details on the 3DS were [[n:E3 conference reveals wealth of information|revealed at E3 in 2010]], with graphics reminiscent of a [[Nintendo GameCube]] game being shown. The 3DS is fully compatible with Nintendo DS games, as well as its own games, while the 3D depth-sensing features are able to be adjusted at-will using a slider on the right side of the top screen. The top screen is slightly wider than the bottom, with a 5:3 aspect ratio, while the system itself features a control stick dubbed the "Circle Pad", in addition to the normal D-pad featured on all prior handhelds. The 3DS is also fully compatible with DSi-only features, such as those from {{game|Black and White|s}}. While capable of playing Nintendo DS games from any region, 3DS titles and DSi exclusive titles are region-locked.

A larger version, known as the [[Nintendo 3DS XL]], was released in Japan, North America, Europe, and Australia in 2012. A stripped-down cheaper model (lacking stereoscopic 3D and the clamshell design), known as the [[Nintendo 2DS]], was released in North America, Europe, and Australia in 2013; it was released in Japan in 2016. A pair of powerful models, the [[New Nintendo 3DS]] and [[New Nintendo 3DS XL]], were released in Japan and Australia in 2014 and in North America and Europe in 2015. A cheaper version of the more powerful model, known as the [[New Nintendo 2DS XL]], was released in Australia, Japan, North America, and Europe in 2017.

==Technical specifications==
* Size: 5.3 inches wide, 2.9 inches long, 0.8 inches tall.
* Weight: 8 ounces
* Top screen: 3.53-inch widescreen LCD, autostereoscopic 3D capability, 800×240 pixel resolution (400 pixels are allocated for each eye to enable 3D viewing)
* Bottom screen: 3.02-inch LCD, touch screen, 320×240 pixel resolution
* Cameras: One inner camera, two outer cameras, both at 640x480 pixel resolution (0.3 MP)
* Nintendo 3DS game card: 2GB max at launch.
* Wireless communication: Can communicate in the 2.4 GHz band. Multiple Nintendo 3DS systems can connect via a local wireless connection to let users communicate or enjoy competitive game play. Systems also can connect to LAN access points to access the internet and allow people to enjoy games with others. Supports IEEE 802.11 with enhanced security (WPA/WPA2). Nintendo 3DS hardware is designed so that even when not in use, it can automatically exchange data with other Nintendo 3DS systems or receive data via the internet while in sleep mode.
* Game controls: Touch screen, embedded microphone, A/B/X/Y face buttons, + Control Pad, L/R buttons, Start and Select buttons, "Circle Pad" that allows 360-degree analog input, one inner camera, two outer cameras, motion sensor and a gyro sensor.
* Other input controls: 3D Depth Slider to adjust level of 3D effect (can be scaled back or turned off completely depending on the preference of the user), Home button to call system function, Wireless switch to turn off wireless communications (even during game play), Power button. The telescoping stylus is approximately 4 inches when fully extended.
* Input/Output: A port that accepts Nintendo 3DS, Nintendo DSi, and Nintendo DS game cards, an SD memory card slot, an AC adapter connector, a charging cradle terminal, and a stereo headphone output jack.
* Sound: Stereo speakers positioned to the left and right of the top screen
* Battery: Lithium ion battery
* Parental controls: Included
* Later firmware updates allow for the purchase and download of custom [[Nintendo 3DS themes|menu themes]] featuring various game franchises and characters.

====Patches====
Patches for various Pokémon games have been released on the Nintendo eShop. Additionally, Pokémon Shuffle can update itself when performing the daily check-in, but such updates cannot be downloaded through the Nintendo eShop. If an update is available on Nintendo eShop for a game the player has, the update has not been downloaded yet and there is an attempt to launch that game while connected to the internet, the system will inform the player of the update and offer to go straight to the update in Nintendo eShop to download it.

'''Wii''' (Japanese: '''ウィー''' ''Wii'') is [[Nintendo]]'s seventh-generation console, which serves as the company's competition for Sony's {{wp|PlayStation 3}} and Microsoft's {{wp|Xbox 360}}. Its handheld counterpart is the [[Nintendo DS]]. The [[Nintendo 3DS]]'s graphical and CPU capabilities are nearly identical to the Wii. Like its predecessor, the [[Nintendo GameCube]], the Wii is able to connect to software titles on the handheld of this generation, the [[Nintendo DS]]; has a Pokémon game that serves as a battle arena for the [[Generation IV]] Pokémon games—in this case, [[Pokémon Battle Revolution]]; and also has a storage system: [[My Pokémon Ranch]]. It was succeeded by the [[Wii U]], which is backwards-compatible with all Wii games and controllers.

A cheaper version, known as the [[Wii Family Edition]], was released in North America, Europe, and Australia in 2011. A smaller model, known as the [[Wii mini]], was released in Canada in 2012; it was released in Europe and the United States in 2013.

The Wii was discontinued in worldwide on October 20, 2013.<ref>[http://www.engadget.com/2013/10/20/nintendo-stops-selling-wii-consoles-in-japan/ Engadget - Nintendo stops selling Wii consoles in Japan]</ref><ref>[http://www.gamespot.com/articles/wii-discontinuation-in-japan-won-t-affect-availability-in-united-states/1100-6415717/ GameSpot - Wii discontinuation in Japan won't affect availability in United States]</ref><ref>[http://www.mcvuk.com/news/read/time-also-called-on-wii-in-europe/0123162 Time also called on Wii in Europe | Games industry news | MCV]</ref>

==Features==
===Wii Remote===
[[File:Wii Remote pink.png|thumb|left|200px|A pink Wii Remote]]
The Wii's controller design is unconventional; instead of taking the dual-control-stick layout of the previous generation like its competitors, it is in a remote control form, with attachments available to work with compatible games, such as a control stick on a Nunchuk attachment, or the Classic Controller, which takes on a layout similar to other consoles' main controllers. The Wii Remote is wireless, and features such innovations as motion and tilt sensing, a first for game controllers. Its sensitivity can be enhanced with {{nw|Wii Motion-Plus}}, but it is incompatible with any [[Pokémon games]].

===Wii Menu===
[[File:Disc channel.jpg|thumb|left|200px|The Wii Disc Channel]]
The console features a custom GUI made up of different—and expandable—channels, all of which, save the Disc Channel, can be moved around to any of the 47 spaces available on the main menu. New channels can be downloaded via the Wii Shop Channel, and include an Internet browser and games from older systems playable via Virtual Console. The channels can be put on an SD card, and with the introduction of Wii Menu 3.3, SD Card menus can be accessed straight from the main menu.

The Wii also has the ability to send messages to and from other devices, so long as the Wii sends out an initial address book confirmation message to the email address or cell phone number in question. When the recipient replies to the Wii's message, communication between the two devices will be active, and via WiiConnect24, others can leave messages for players of the console on its message board from anywhere in the world. However, this feature, along with a few channels, was discontinued on June 30, 2013.

===Backward compatibility===
The Wii is backwards-compatible with all GameCube games, as well as with most of GameCube's accessories, such as the controllers, memory cards, GameCube-to-GBA cables, and microphone. It is incompatible with the {{wp|Rumble Pak}} or the [[Game Boy Player]].

The cheaper Wii variants, the Wii Family Edition and Wii mini, are incompatible with GameCube games.
{{-|left}}

==Technical specs==
* Compatibility with both 12cm Wii Game Discs and 8cm GameCube Game Discs
* 729 MHz "Broadway" IBM CPU
* 243 MHz "Hollywood" ATI GPU
* 88 MB total memory, 24 MB Mo-Sys 1T-SRAM, 324 MHz, 2,7 GB/s bandwidth
* 512 MB internal flash memory, for game, channel, and data saving
* SD memory card bay for expansion of save space. Initially, the system supported SD cards up to 2 GB; after the Wii System 4.0 update, the system supports SDHC cards up to 32 GB, but games released before the system update may not read SDHC cards.
* Supports GameCube memory cards (except Wii Family Edition and Wii mini)
* Two USB ports for expansion and/or networking capabilities

==Pokémon games==
===On game discs===
Most Wii games are released on the Wii's own 12cm discs. There are four known games that feature Pokémon.

==Channels==
===Wii Shop Channel===
The {{wp|Wii Shop Channel}} is a channel which comes pre-installed on Wii consoles. It uses the Internet to purchase and download WiiWare, Virtual Console games and channels with Wii Points.

===Nintendo Channel===
The {{wp|Wii Menu#Nintendo Channel|Nintendo Channel}} is a free downloadable channel which contains various videos and demos of Nintendo games. Use of this channel requires the Internet. These videos are often commercials, trailers, and interviews relating to Nintendo products. All [[Pokémon games]] for [[Nintendo DS]] and Wii (excluding Virtual Console) that have had an English language release have been featured on the channel at some point.

Additionally, the channel has a feature called the DS Download Service, which allows players to download demos of games to a Nintendo DS system via DS Download Play. Demos for [[Pokémon Ranger: Guardian Signs]], [[Pokémon Trozei!]] and [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky]] can be downloaded. Explorers of Sky has three slightly different demos.

The channel was discontinued on June 30, 2013.
