'''Goodra''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ヌメルゴン''' ''Numelgon'') is a {{type|Dragon}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation VI]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Sliggoo}} starting at level 50 when leveled up during [[rain]] in the overworld. It is the final form of {{p|Goomy}}.

In [[Hisui]], Goodra has a dual-type {{2t|Steel|Dragon}} [[regional form]], '''{{rf|Hisuian}} Goodra'''. It evolves from Hisuian Sliggoo starting at level 50 during rain in the overworld. It is the final form of Goomy in the Hisui region.

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

It is referred to as a [[pseudo-legendary Pokémon]] by fans.

==Biology==
Goodra is a bipedal, draconic {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that is coated with slime. It has a plump abdomen, and its body is pale purple with a darker purple underside. It has bright green eyes, two green spots on each cheek, a relatively long neck, and a short, rounded snout. On top of its head are two pairs of antenna-like horns. The foremost horns are small nubs, but the hind horns are longer, thicker, and curve down its neck. The tips of the larger horns are slightly curled. It has proportionally short limbs with two digits each and a large, thick tail with a curled tip. Along each side of its tail are three green spots. A pale green slime is usually visible dripping from its chin and arms. It is known for having a great affinity for water, being able to live within water with no difficulty at all, as well as dive and surf all around the area.

Because of its meek, friendly nature, Goodra is often teased for supposed weakness. When it grows close to someone, it will hug them and leave them coated in slime. If it is left alone, it will ooze gooey tears. Goodra usually misunderstands instructions, appearing dazed or bewildered. Despite this, many Trainers don't mind it, instead finding this behavior to be adorable. However, it will strike at its tormentors with its retractable horns and powerful tail. Despite appearing docile, Goodra can become uncontrollable once enraged. The horns can hit 100 times harder than the blow of a heavyweight boxer. It is also capable of throwing punches with incredible force. Its slimy coating in combination with a layer of fat causes attacks to slide off. Goodra lives in plains and mountains, usually during rainy days.

Prior to [[Generation IX]], Goodra and its pre-evolved forms were the [[Signature Ability|only known Pokémon]] that could have {{a|Gooey}} as an [[Ability]].

===Forms===
Goodra has an ancient [[regional form]]: Hisuian Goodra.
[[File:Hisuian Goodra Hidden Shell.jpg|250px|thumb|right|Hisuian Goodra hiding in a shell]]
Hisuian Goodra has droopy, gray eyes as well as a thinner body and legs. Its horns are longer and thinner than Kalosian Goodra's horns. It sports a large, spiral-shaped metallic shell on its back, which it can tuck its body into to protect itself, leaving only its head outside of the shell to observe its surroundings. It can control the hardness of its shell at will. It has fewer gray spots than Kalosian Goodra, with one on each side of its cheek and two on each side of its shell. From its chin and arms drips a metallic gray slime.

Hisuian Goodra has a clingy disposition and hates being alone; it will become angry and run riot if its closest companions leave its side. If anything bad happens to Hisuian Goodra, it will retreat into its shell and bounce away like a rubber ball. While in this state, Hisuian Goodra is powerful enough to knock down trees and roll into mountains. It has been recently seen inside [[Hyperspace Lumiose]].

Hisuian Goodra and its pre-evolved forms are the [[signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Shelter}}.

===Evolution===
Goodra evolves from {{p|Sliggoo}} and is the final form of {{p|Goomy}}.

In [[Hisui]], Goodra has a [[regional form]] that evolves from {{rf|Hisuian}} Sliggoo and is the final form of Goomy in the Hisui region.

===Evolution data===
Goodra [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Sliggoo}} starting at [[level]] 50 when leveled up during [[rain]] in the overworld. In [[Generation VII]] only, Sliggoo will also evolve when leveled up during [[fog]] in the overworld. Rain instigated by {{m|Rain Dance}}, {{a|Drizzle}}, or {{a|Primordial Sea}} will not trigger Sliggoo's Evolution. It is the final form of {{p|Goomy}}.

In [[Hisui]], Goodra has a dual-type {{2t|Steel|Dragon}} [[regional form]]. It evolves from Hisuian Sliggoo starting at level 50 during rain in the overworld. It is the final form of Goomy in the Hisui region. All Goomy in Hisui will evolve into Hisuian Sliggoo regardless of their [[game of origin]].

Goodra is playable through obtaining a Unite License. It is a melee defender that starts as Goomy and evolves into Sliggoo at level 5, which evolves into Goodra at level 8.
{{-}}

==Trivia==
* Goodra is the only [[pseudo-legendary Pokémon]]:
** to have an [[Evolution]] method requiring more than just [[level]]ing up.
** to have a [[regional form]].
* Kalosian Goodra is the only pseudo-legendary Pokémon to only have one type, not counting {{me|Garchomp}} Z.
* Every one of Kalosian Goodra's base stats are exactly double those of {{p|Goomy}}, with Kalosian {{p|Sliggoo}}'s being halfway in between (rounded up).
* Kalosian Goodra shares its {{pkmn|category}} with the {{p|Horsea}} and {{p|Dratini}} evolutionary lines, along with {{p|Salamence}}. They are all known as the Dragon Pokémon.
* Hisuian Goodra is tied with {{p|Registeel}} and {{p|Probopass}} for the highest base {{stat|Special Defense}} stat of all {{type|Steel}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}.
* In [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]]'s internal code, Hisuian Goodra's secondary Ability is {{a|Overcoat}} instead of {{a|Shell Armor}}.
* Goodra and {{p|Hydreigon}} are the only pseudo-legendary Pokémon with a higher Special Attack stat than Physical.
** Goodra has the lowest Attack stat of all pseudo-legendary Pokémon.
* Goodra is the first pseudo-legendary Pokémon to not be immune to any types through ordinary type match-ups. However, if its Ability is {{a|Sap Sipper}}, that would give it immunity to {{t|Grass}}-type moves.
* Goodra's 150 base Special Defense stat is the highest single base stat of any non–[[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolved]] pseudo-legendary Pokémon.
* Hisuian Goodra and its pre-Evolution are the only regional forms that have yet to be available in {{g|GO}}.

===Concept and development===
Kalosian Goodra was designed by [[Saya Tsuruta]].<ref>[https://twitter.com/saya_tsuruta/status/1405666612103901188 Saya Tsuruta's Twitter account. Posted on June 18, 2020.]</ref>

===Origin===
Goodra, due to its {{t|Dragon}} type, elongated body shape, and retractable tentacles used for battling, is likely based on {{wp|Lou Carcolh}}, a mythical serpent/mollusk creature from French folklore.

Like its pre-evolved forms, it could also be based on soft-bodied gastropods, such as {{wp|slug}}s and {{wp|nudibranch}}; in particular, the {{wp|Glaucus atlanticus|"blue dragon" sea slug}}. Goodra's Pokédex entry may be a reference to slug's retractable eyes, which retract when they are in danger.

Alternatively, it could be based on the {{wp|yōkai}} called {{jwp|出世螺|Shussebora}}, meaning "ascended trumpet shell", which is a {{wp|Triton's trumpet|trumpet shell snail}} that lives 1000 years in the mountains, 1000 on the plains, and 1000 at sea, then will ascend and turn into a dragon.

Hisuian Goodra is likely based on a {{wp|snail}}. Its metallic shell in particular may be based on the {{wp|scaly-foot gastropod}}, a species of deep-sea snail unique for its shell, which consists of iron sulfide compounds. The brown color of its [[Shiny]] variant's shell may reference how metal {{wp|rust}}s when exposed to water for too long. Its Pokédex entry may be a reference to [[wp:Mercury_(element)|mercury]]. Mercury has historically been used to treat various disorders including melancholy in ancient Greece and Medieval Europe<ref>https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/psychiatry-a-history/202304/heavy-metal-blues-the-history-of-medicinal-mercury</ref>. However, it is actually a deadly neurotoxin which with repeated exposure will cause various physical and mental disorders overtime. While {{p|Sliggoo}}'s entry mentions melancholy implying mild exposure, Goodra appears to have progressed to full mood disorder. Alternatively, this mood could reflect a pun with the Japanese word 湿っぽい ''(shimeppoi)'', which can mean "gloomy, melancholic", but also "humid, damp", as a reference to the evolutionary line's usual habitat.

====Name origin====
Goodra may be a combination of ''goo'' and ''dragon'' or ''Hydra''. It may also be an inversion of ''{{wp|Dragoon}}''. It may also derive from ''good'', referring to its kindly nature as opposed to the more violent dispositions of other pseudo-legendary Pokémon.

Numelgon may be a combination of 滑る ''numeru'' (to be slippery), ''gel'', and ''dragon''.

'''Scolipede''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ペンドラー''' ''Pendror'') is a dual-type {{2t|Bug|Poison}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation V]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Whirlipede}} starting at [[level]] 30. It is the final form of {{p|Venipede}}.

Scolipede can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into '''Mega Scolipede''' using the [[Scolipite]]. Mega Scolipede was introduced in {{g|Legends: Z-A}}.

==Biology==
Scolipede is a plump, centipede-like {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that usually stands with the front half of its body raised vertically off the ground. Its segmented body is dark magenta, except for its smooth, dark gray underside. Long, slightly bent horns similar to antennae extend from its head, as well as an identical pair of horns on its rear. Purple bands decorate these horns, and teardrop-shaped rings of the same color mark each body segment, one on each side of its body. It possesses four pairs of short, purple fore-claws on the body segments that make up its neck, which is used to inject poison. The four hind legs are longer, thicker, and spaced farther apart. Each hind limb has curved dark gray bands around the middle.

Scolipede lives in lush forests. It is very aggressive and will not give up until victorious. This Pokémon chases down enemies with great speed and then attacks relentlessly with its horns until it prevails. It catches its prey using the toxic spike claws on its neck. Once the prey becomes immobile, Scolipede slams it into the ground to inject it with its powerful venom. Similarly to its pre-[[Evolution]], {{p|Whirlipede}}, it can curl up into a ball and roll towards its targets. Scolipede and {{p|Centiskorch}} can get into territorial fights, which end with the loser becoming the winner's prey. While sleeping, Scolipede may curl up into a ball shape.

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

As Mega Scolipede, its chest has become coated in a thick, {{a|Shell Armor|durable}} plate of lavender armor with two small bumps near the bottom; its smaller fore-claws also gain armor, as do its head and forelegs. The armor on the first two of its foreclaws is the largest and most bulbous. Each of the armor plates on its foreclaws, as well as its thighs, are also marked by black circles with bright, magenta, eye-like shapes surrounding them. Mega Scolipede's foreclaws themselves also turn the same shade of magenta. Its horns have grown dramatically, colored with alternating stripes of dark purple and black and tapering into luminous green spikes. Some bands around the segments in its armor, the outline of its underbelly, and its eyes have also become accentuated by this luminous green. Mega Scolipede's tails become fashioned similarly to its antennae, but lack the characteristic green tips.

Mega Scolipede's venom is now luminescent, and it has become even more vicious than its original form thanks to the venom altering its mind.

[[File:Rocket Prize Master Scolipede.png|thumb|250px|Scolipede in {{aniseries|JN}}]]
====Major appearances====
Scolipede debuted in ''[[BW009|The Bloom Is on Axew!]]''. [[Iris's Axew]] fell out of a tree and got caught in Scolipede's antennae. This startled Scolipede and caused it to go on a rampage, until [[Iris's Excadrill]] decided to defeat it with {{m|Drill Run}}.

In ''[[BW024|Emolga the Irresistible!]]'', Bianca accidentally enraged a Scolipede by having her {{TP|Bianca|Pignite}} use {{m|Flamethrower}} on Scolipede when she thought it was the wild {{TP|Iris|Emolga}} she was after. As such, it attacked {{Ash}}, {{an|Cilan}}, and {{an|Bianca}}. The three Trainers soon managed to escape from the angry Megapede Pokémon.

In ''[[BW053|A Maractus Musical!]]'', a {{pkmn2|wild}} Scolipede attacked one of [[Toby]]'s {{p|Maractus}}. However, it was distracted by {{AP|Pikachu}}'s {{m|Electro Ball}}, giving Toby and his Maractus enough time to flee.

In ''[[BW065|Battling the Bully!]]'', [[Sean]]'s father lent a Scolipede to his son and [[Glenn]] to use in a {{pkmn|battle}} with {{OBP|Mick|BW065}}. However, it and the {{p|Seismitoad}} that Sean's father also loaned to the pair lost to Pikachu and the {{AP|Sunglasses Krokorok|Krokorok}} while under Mick's control.

In ''[[BW083|Rocking the Virbank Gym! Part 1]]'' and ''[[BW084|Part 2]]'', [[Roxie]] used a Scolipede in a [[Gym]] battle against {{Ash}}. It battled {{AP|Leavanny}} and won, but it lost to {{AP|Pignite}}'s {{m|Fire Pledge}}.

In ''[[BW112|Team Plasma's Pokémon Power Plot!]]'', a Scolipede was a test specimen of [[Colress]]'s. It was forced to fight {{AP|Pikachu}}, but it was eventually released from Colress' control when {{TRT}} stole his data.

In ''[[BW117|Team Plasma's Pokémon Manipulation!]]'', another Scolipede was a test specimen of Colress's. It was released by him as soon as it fired off an attack, however.

In ''[[XY103|A Cellular Connection!]]'', three Scolipede pursued {{an|Bonnie}} as she searched for [[Squishy]]. They were then warded away by Pikachu's {{m|Electro Ball}} and [[Serena's Braixen]]'s {{m|Flamethrower}}.

In ''[[JN033|Trade, Borrow, and Steal!]]'', [[Jessie]] pulled a {{DL|Rocket Prize Master|Scolipede}} from the [[Rocket Prize Master]]. It was used to battle [[Goh]], only for Scolipede to be distracted by the [[honey]] and not battle. It was later sent blasting off by {{TP|Goh|Heracross}}.

In ''[[HZ120|Dot and Penny's Top-Secret Mission!]]'', a Scolipede appeared under the ownership of [[Rubina]]. It battled against [[Penny]], only to be defeated.

==Trivia==
* Scolipede represents {{wp|November}} in the [[Unova]] [[horoscope]].
* Despite the Scolipede and {{p|Centiskorch}} [[evolution]]ary lines living in different parts of the [[Galar]] [[region]], both Venipede and Scolipede's [[Pokédex entry|Pokédex entries]] speak of their hostile relationship with the latter family.
* Scolipede and its pre-Evolutions were designed by [[Tomohiro Kitakaze]].<ref>[https://twitter.com/kitakazeee/status/1123171470245367808 Tweet by 北風友裕 (@kitakazeee).] Posted on April 30, 2019.</ref>
* Mega Scolipede is tied with {{p|Slither Wing}} and {{p|Arceus}}'s {{type|Bug}} form as the [[List of Pokémon by height|tallest]] Bug-type {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}.

===Origin===
{{Bulbanews|On the Origin of Species: Venipede, Whirlipede and Scolipede}}
Scolipede may be based on a {{wp|centipede}}, most likely the ''{{wp|Scolopendra gigantea}}'', while its horns resemble that of ''{{wp|Scolopendra cingulata}}''. It could also be based on ''{{wp|Arthropleura}}'', a prehistoric relative of centipedes that grew to two-and-a-half meters.

Additionally, Scolipede shares some similarities with {{wp|millipede}}s, and may also draw inspiration from a red ''{{wp|Archispirostreptus gigas}}'', a species of millipede often kept as a pet. It also bears a strong resemblance to ''{{wp|Desmoxytes purpurosea}}'', a species of millipede known for its bright pink coloration and toxicity, the latter of which also ties into Scolipede's typing.

Scolipede's {{wp|horse|equine}} appearance may be derived from a pun on the Japanese word for millipede, 馬陸 ''yasude''; the word contains the kanji 馬, which literally means ''horse''.

Mega Scolipede's coat of armor is reminiscent of that of knights or gladiators. It may reference {{wp|atavism}}, as it is implied that Scolipede regains the hard shell that {{p|Whirlipede}} possessed.

====Name origin====
Scolipede may be a combination of ''{{wp|Scolopendra}}'' (genus of {{wp|centipede}}s) and ''centipede'' or ''millipede''.

Pendror may be derived from ''Scolopendra''.

'''Genesect''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ゲノセクト''' ''Genesect'') is a dual-type {{2t|Bug|Steel}} [[Mythical Pokémon]] introduced in [[Generation V]].

While it is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon, Genesect has four other [[#Form data|forms]], which are activated by inserting a [[Drive]] in the cannon on its back. The Drive's light is visibly different depending on which one Genesect is [[Held item|holding]], and it also changes the [[type]] of its [[signature move]], {{m|Techno Blast}}.
* When it is not holding any Drive (referred to in {{g|GO}} as its Normal form), the light is orange and Techno Blast is {{type|Normal}}.
* When it is holding the [[Douse Drive]], the light turns blue and Techno Blast is {{type|Water}}.
* When it is holding the [[Shock Drive]], the light turns yellow and Techno Blast is {{type|Electric}}.
* When it is holding the [[Burn Drive]], the light turns red and Techno Blast is {{type|Fire}}.
* When it is holding the [[Chill Drive]], the light turns white and Techno Blast is {{type|Ice}}.

Genesect was {{n|CoroCoro August issue reveals 'Genesect'|leaked}} in the August issue of [[CoroCoro]] magazine on July 11, 2012, and it was officially revealed on July 14, 2012. It is the last Pokémon in both versions of the [[List of Pokémon by Unova Pokédex number|Unova Pokédex]].

==Biology==
[[File:Genesect Douse Drive High-speed.png|thumb|left|170px|{{form|Genesect|Douse Drive}} Genesect in its high-speed flight configuration]]
Genesect is a bipedal, insectoid {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with a metal body and a saucer-shaped head. It is primarily purple with several gray markings. It has two large red eyes that are capable of glowing, and a small white part that could be either its mouth or a vent. It has thin arms with overlapping segments. Each arm ends with a single, pointed claw from which it can spin a sticky string to create structures. The claws are made of sharp steel. There is a gray circle on each shoulder and a gray band around its abdomen. Its segmented legs each end with a large, upward-curving claw.
[[File:Genesect silk.png|thumb|250px|Genesect producing a silk-like substance from its claw]]
Genesect is an [[artificial Pokémon]] that was revived from a [[Fossil]] and technologically enhanced by [[Team Plasma]] to create the most powerful Pokémon ever. [[N]] had the project canceled and the [[P2 Laboratory]] closed because he felt that Pokémon, who he thought to be perfect beings, would lose their beauty if modified by science. However, {{tc|Scientist}} Dudley kept working on it, angry that N denied his talent. This scientist reconstructed Genesect and installed the cannon on its back. According to a {{tc|Hiker}} in [[Ambrette Town]]'s Fossil Lab, there is a rumor that Genesect can be found in [[Glittering Cave]].

By folding up its limbs and connecting its head to the cannon on its back, Genesect assumes a disk-like form known as the '''high-speed flight configuration''' (Japanese: '''{{ruby|高|こう}}{{ruby|速|そく}}{{ruby|飛|ひ}}{{ruby|行|こう}}{{ruby|形|けい}}{{ruby|態|たい}}''' ''Kōsoku Hikō Keitai'', "high-speed flight configuration"),<ref>[[Top Secret Internal Team Plasma Genesect Video]]</ref> allowing it to fly at remarkable speeds. As seen in ''[[M16|Genesect and the Legend Awakened]]'', Genesect can breathe in outer space. In the movie, it can also produce a sticky silk-like substance that rapidly hardens into brownish stone-like substance. It uses that material to create its nest. The movie also shows that one Genesect may lead the others of its group, being even capable of controlling them to follow its orders. Genesect is known to be completely devoid of mercy towards its enemies. As depicted in [[Pokémon Adventures]], Genesect is capable of cutting down an entire building in half effortlessly.

Genesect is the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Techno Blast}}.

===Forms===
Genesect has four alternate forms determined by the [[Drive]] it holds: Shock Drive, Burn Drive, Chill Drive, and Douse Drive.

The four Drives each contain different elements: water energy, electric energy, fire energy, and ice energy. When either of the Drives is attached to Gensect's cannon, it grants it different elemental powers for its {{M|Techno Blast|light beam}} attacks launched by its cannon. The powerful cannon on its back and other enhancements were added as part of the modifications made to it by [[Team Plasma]]. Gensect's cannon can fire off projectile energy blasts. Even before Team Plasma modified Genesect, it was feared as the strongest of hunters. Genesect was said to have lived in the Paleozoic era before going extinct.

===Form data===
Genesect has five interchangeable forms. Its form changes to match the [[Drive]] it [[held item|hold]]s, which also changes the type of its [[signature move]], {{m|Techno Blast}}.

*If no Drive is held, Techno Blast will be {{type|Normal}} and Genesect will appear to have a dark yellow Drive.
*If a [[Douse Drive]] is held, Techno Blast will be {{type|Water}} and Genesect will appear to have a blue Drive.
*If a [[Shock Drive]] is held, Techno Blast will be {{type|Electric}} and Genesect will appear to have a light yellow Drive.
*If a [[Burn Drive]] is held, Techno Blast will be {{type|Fire}} and Genesect will appear to have a red Drive.
*If a [[Chill Drive]] is held, Techno Blast will be {{type|Ice}} and Genesect will appear to have a cyan Drive.

Prior to {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, Genesect's alternate forms were not registered in the [[Pokédex]]. All of Genesect's forms originally used the form name "Genesect" in the Pokédex; in [[Pokémon Legends: Z-A]], this was changed, with its default form lacking a form name while its other forms are named "Douse Drive", "Shock Drive", "Burn Drive", and "Chill Drive". These are also the names used for its alternate forms in [[Pokémon GO]], but its default form also has a name in that game, being called "Normal". The Pokémon GO Pokédex lists the drive forms in the order Shock Drive, Burn Drive, Chill Drive, and Douse Drive, unlike the core series games where Douse Drive is listed before the others.

In {{g|Super Mystery Dungeon}}, Genesect can select a Drive upon being selected as a team member.

===Major appearances===
====[[Genesect Army]]====
The Genesect Army, a group of five Genesect led by a {{Shiny|Red}} Genesect, first appeared in ''[[BW119|Meowth, Colress and Team Rivalry!]]'', where {{an|N}} found the ruins of a building and learned the Genesect Army was responsible for the destruction by using his ability to hear the voices of Pokémon.

The Genesect Army played a major role in ''[[M16|Genesect and the Legend Awakened]]''. They went on a rampage in [[New Tork City]] while attempting to search for [[Genesect's home|their ancient habitat]], thus bringing them into conflict with a {{OBP|Mewtwo|M16}}.

===Movie adaptations===
{{main|Genesect Army}}
The Genesect Army plays a major role in ''[[M16|Genesect and the Legend Awakened]]''. Likewise, the group appears in the {{ma|Genesect and the Legend Awakened|manga adaptation}} of the film by [[Momota Inoue]].

===Pocket Monsters B2 W2 ~ A New Legend ~===
Genesect was a Pokémon created by [[Dr. Zeno]]. After it saved Dr. Zeno from being trapped in his lab, he decided to give it to [[Arata]] in order to bring out its full potential.

===Pokémon Adventures===
{{main|Blake's Genesect}}
A {{Shiny}} Genesect debuted as a silhouette at [[P2 Laboratory]] in ''[[PS515|The Shadow Triad]]'', where the [[Shadow Triad]] was seen testing its power. It reappeared at the {{un|Pokémon League}}, where it helped [[Colress|Hood Man]] escape. Later, in the {{MangaArc|Black 2 & White 2}}, it was revealed to be under the ownership of [[Colress]].

In ''[[PS526|Mr. Perfect]]'', Colress attacked [[Aspertia City]] with another Genesect, where it came into contact with {{adv|Blake}} and {{adv|Looker}}, the former of whom ultimately captured Genesect. Although Blake had initially reported Genesect to the [[International Police]], he was seen in possession of it in ''[[PS536|Cold Storage Battle]]'', riding it through the [[Relic Passage]]. In ''[[PS541|Pink Slip]]'', it was revealed that Blake had taken Genesect for his own use without permission, despite it having been under strict supervision, which was one of the reasons why he had been subsequently fired from the International Police.

==Other appearances==
===[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U]]===
[[File:Genesect_3DS_trophy_SSB4.png|thumb|150px|Genesect trophy in ''Super Smash Bros. for 3DS'']]
Genesect appears as a {{i|Poké Ball}} summon. In the 3DS version of the game, it is unlocked after playing Endless Smash at least once. It jumps around the stage, repeatedly firing four {{m|Techno Blast}} attacks, followed up by a wide beam. Both shots can go through walls.

Genesect also appears as a trophy in both versions of the game.

====Trophy information====
'''NA''': ''A Bug/Steel-type Pokémon, Genesect was created from a 300-million-year-old fossil and later altered to carry a giant cannon on its back. The type of Drive inserted into the cannon affects the attack type of its Techno Blast. It will follow up this attack with a long-range laser.''

'''PAL''': ''A Bug- and Steel-type Pokémon revived from a 300-million-year-old fossil, then modified to carry a giant cannon on its back. The type of Drive inserted into the cannon affects the attack type of its Techno Blast. After using this attack mid-jump, it attacks its target with a long-range laser that passes through obstacles.''

===[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]===
Genesect returns as a Pokémon summoned from the Poké Ball, retaining its behavior from the previous game. Genesect also appears as a {{sbw|Spirit}}.
{{left clear}}

==Trivia==
* Genesect is the only {{type|Bug}} [[Mythical Pokémon]], excluding {{p|Arceus}} when holding an [[Insect Plate]].
* Excluding [[Mega Evolution|Mega-Evolved]] Pokémon, Genesect has the highest base stat total of all {{type|Bug}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}.
* Genesect's backstory is similar to {{p|Mewtwo}}'s: both were created by a [[villainous team]] in at least one [[canon]], and they were genetically engineered to be more powerful than the Pokémon they were based on.
* Genesect is the only Pokémon whose [[Pokédex entry]] names a villainous team, in this case, [[Team Plasma]].
* Despite {{m|Techno Blast}} being its [[signature move]], Genesect cannot receive {{STAB}} from it unless its type is changed.
* The symbol for the {{TCG|Plasma Blast}} expansion ([[File:SetSymbolPlasma Blast.png|30px]]) resembles Genesect's head seen from above.

===Origin===
Genesect is generally based on the giant insects of the {{wp|Paleozoic}} era, which existed for 300,000,000 years, making it as old as the {{wp|cockroach}}. Its Steel-type features that give it a somewhat robotic appearance may be a reference to alien robots or cyborgs in {{wp|science fiction}} media, but this may be due to Team Plasma's modifications. Its design might also be inspired by the "artillery mech" vehicles in various {{wp|mecha anime and manga}} while also resembling the enlarged pronona of {{wp|treehopper}}s (family Membracidae).

'''Garchomp''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese:]] '''ガブリアス''' ''Gaburias'') is a dual-type {{2t|Dragon|Ground}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation IV]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Gabite}} starting at [[level]] 48. It is the final form of {{p|Gible}}.

Garchomp can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into two forms:
*'''Mega Garchomp''' using the [[Garchompite]].
*'''Mega Garchomp Z''' using the [[Garchompite Z]].
It is referred to as a [[pseudo-legendary Pokémon]] by fans.

==Biology==
[[File:Ash Garchomp.png|thumb|left|250px|Garchomp flying]]
Garchomp is a bipedal, draconian {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that is primarily dark blue in color. It has red on its underbelly from the lower jaw to the middle of the abdomen, including the undersides of its arms. A patch of gold comes to a point below the red on its belly, and a golden star shape adorns the tip of its snout. Garchomp has horn-like appendages that resemble a {{wp|jet}} or {{wp|plane}}'s engines, giving it an appearance similar to a {{wp|hammerhead shark}}. These horns allow it to sense its {{pkmn|predation|prey}} from a long distance. Its large mouth features razor-sharp teeth. The feet have three white talons, and each arm has a single large, white claw for a hand. Curved fins sprout from the arms, creating wings that allow Garchomp to fly. Garchomp also has a large dorsal fin and another on its tail that resembles a {{wp|shark}} {{wp|Caudal fin|tailfin}}. The male's dorsal fin has a notch on it. Pairs of small, white spikes protrude from its upper arms and legs, and there are gill-like slits on the sides of the neck. The eyes are intense, with black {{wp|sclera}}e and gold-colored irises.

Garchomp can {{tt|fly|although it cannot learn the move Fly}} at incredible speeds to catch its prey, and is capable of flying as fast as a jet. During flight, its wings generate blades of wind capable of cutting down trees. It is able to move at high speed in both the air and underground. It preys on bird Pokémon and is known to eat entire flocks of them whole. It sometimes battles {{p|Salamence}} in the air as they compete for food. Garchomp will never allow its prey to escape once it finds them. After catching prey, it returns to its den before its body can cool down. The fine scales on its body reduce drag for easier flight, and their sharp edges also serve to {{a|Rough Skin|injure}} opponents who attack it directly. It can use its protuberances as sensors for finding distinct prey. Garchomp lives in volcanic and boreal mountain ranges, and typically dwells underground. However, it is seldom sighted in the wild. Garchomp is described as having a feral nature, requiring extreme caution if encountered.

In [[Generation IX]], Garchomp and its pre-evolved forms are the [[Signature Ability|only known Pokémon]] that can have {{a|Rough Skin}} as an [[Ability]].
{{left clear}}
===Forms===
Garchomp can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into Mega Garchomp or Mega Garchomp Z.

====Mega Garchomp====
When Garchomp Mega Evolves, several of its features become more angular, including its head and shoulders. A row of five tooth-like spikes sprouts from each side of its abdomen and red spikes grow from its knees. Its dorsal fin always has a notch on it, regardless of gender. The claws and fins on its arms melt from the excessive Mega Evolution energy and morph together to form sharp, red blades.

The increased energy of Mega Evolution turns Mega Garchomp's arms into scythe-like blades.<ref>[http://www.pokemonxy.com/en-us/pokemon/mega_pokemon/#Garchomp Mega Garchomp | Pokémon X and Pokémon Y] ([https://web.archive.org/web/20160219212327/http://www.pokemonxy.com/en-us/pokemon/mega_pokemon/#Garchomp archived])</ref> Because it takes great pride in its winglike fins, it is enraged at the sight of them melting into scythes. As a result, it is much more violent after Mega Evolving. Mega Garchomp's scythes can slice the ground to pieces, and it viciously tears up its opponents with them. While mostly seen grounded, it retains its ability to fly.

====Mega Garchomp Z====
[[File:Mega Garchomp Z closed fins.jpg|250px|thumb|Mega Garchomp Z's closed fins combined]]
Mega Garchomp Z resembles a regular Garchomp but gains a distinct purple, jet-like appearance. Its horn-like appendages feature a blood orange circle at the center, with jet-wing style fins on each side. It loses all its spikes except for one on each upper leg. The three talons are a dark purple color. There are dark yellow lines above each foot and in front of the shark-like tail fin, whose upper fin is longer, while the tail fin's end is white. Its dorsal fin does not have a notch on it, regardless of gender. The chest is also blood orange, with several V-shaped, continuous lines beneath the chest color in dark yellow, blood orange, and dark purple. The wing-like fins have become longer, with blood orange at the bottom and five tooth-like spikes at the front of each fin.

Mega Garchomp Z is said to maintain a calm and composed personality. Unlike its base form and Mega Garchomp, it constantly hovers above the ground, looking down on its opponents from the air with a sharp gaze. This is a result of its {{type|Dragon}} energy having grown more powerful, which also causes its Dragon-type [[move]]s to become stronger and gain more agility and momentum when they're used during flight. The wings on its arms have expanded, enabling greater lift. These wings are lined with large, sharp, and sinister claws that rend opponents even more aggressively than the scythe-shaped wings of Mega Garchomp, capable of shredding targets with a gouging motion as it flies at Mach speed. Additionally, there are small wings on both sides of its head that enhance its flight performance. Mega Garchomp Z is characterized by a fighting style that maximizes its speed, surpassing any Mega Garchomp discovered so far.<ref>[https://legends.pokemon.com/en-us/dlc Mega Garchomp Z | Pokémon Legends: Z-A]</ref><ref>[https://www.pokemon.co.jp/ex/legends_z-a_dlc/ja/pokemon/260227_01/ メガガブリアスＺ｜『Pokémon LEGENDS Z-A M次元ラッシュ』公式サイト (Mega Garchomp Z | "Pokémon LEGENDS Z-A M-Dimension Rush" Official Website)]</ref>

===NPC appearances===
====In the core series====
[[File:Company Icon Mach Motors.png|thumb|150px|Logo of Mach Motors]]
*These notable Trainers all use Garchomp:
** [[Cynthia]]'s main partner is a [[Cynthia's Garchomp|Garchomp]], using her in all battles against the player (except battle facilities), and is frequently seen in multiple media. She may appear in the [[Alola]] [[Battle Tree]] where she can [[Mega Evolve]]. She debuted in {{g|Diamond and Pearl}}, reappearing in {{g|Platinum}}, [[Generation V]], and both [[Alola]]-based [[Generation VII]] titles.
** [[Lance]] uses a Garchomp in a rematch in {{g|HeartGold and SoulSilver}}.
** [[Clair]] is seen to have a Garchomp in all battles in {{B2W2}}
** In [[Pokémon Black 2 and White 2|Black 2]] exclusively, [[Benga]] will use a Garchomp against the player as they make their way through [[Black Tower]].
** In the Type Expert and World Leaders Tournament of the [[Pokémon World Tournament]], [[Giovanni]] will use a Garchomp.
** Starting in {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, [[Wally]] uses a Garchomp in at the [[Battle Resort]]. It reappears in [[Alola]]'s [[Battle Tree]] where it could [[Mega Evolve]].
** [[Ryuki]] uses a Garchomp in both {{g|Sun and Moon}} and {{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}}. It appears in all fights against him.
** In {{g|Legends: Arceus}}, [[Volo]] has a Garchomp during his third battle against the player atop the [[Temple of Sinnoh]]. It is presumably seen as a {{p|Gible}} during his other two battles with the player. This Garchomp is a parallel to Cynthia's own Garchomp. He is never seen as {{p|Gabite}}.
** [[Lebanne]] uses a Garchomp in all matches with and against the player during {{g|Legends: Z-A}}.
* The company logo for [[Poké Job|Mach Motors]], in {{g|Sword and Shield}}, depicts a stylized Garchomp head.
* In the Pokémon Research Lab in {{g|Legends: Z-A}}, [[Professor Sycamore]] is seen next to a Garchomp. This is possibly a reference to [[Pokémon the Series: XY]], where he had a Garchomp who could [[Mega Evolve]]. In other parts of the building, diagrams of Mega Garchomp also appear.
* During [[Mission (Legends: Z-A)|Main Mission 37: "Operation Protect Lumiose"]] a [[Rogue Mega Evolution|Rogue Mega Garchomp]] is fought on [[Vert Street]] at the climax of Legends: Z-A.

====In the spin-off games====
*[[Cynthia's Garchomp]] appears as an opponent in {{g|Unite}}.

==Trivia==
[[File:Early Garchomp FrontSprite Platinum.png|thumb|200px|Garchomp's prototype sprite from Platinum]]
* Garchomp was designed by [[Takao Unno]].<ref>Creator profile on Takao Unno in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game Illustration Collection]], p. 182: "He has created the designs for Garchomp, Croagunk, Arceus and others." ([https://twitter.com/Lewchube/status/1581735619637948416 archive])</ref>
* Although the Garchomp in [[PokéPark Wii: Pikachu's Adventure]] and [[PokéPark 2: Wonders Beyond|its sequel]] has no notch on his fin, he is referred to as [[Gender|male]].
* In an early Japanese trailer for {{game|Platinum}}, a [[Pokémon Platinum beta#Sprites|prototype front sprite]] is seen that is different from the final sprite.
* Garchomp is the only pseudo-legendary Pokémon to have [[List of Pokémon with gender differences|gender differences]].
* Garchomp (into Mega Garchomp Z) and {{p|Aggron}} are the only dual-[[type]] Pokémon to become single-type upon [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolving]].
* Garchomp is the only [[pseudo-legendary Pokémon]] with two Mega Evolutions.
* Mega Garchomp Z has the highest base {{stat|Speed}} stat of all {{type|Dragon}} Pokémon.
* Mega Garchomp Z was the last Mega Evolution to be revealed and released for [[Mega Dimension]] [[Downloadable content|DLC]].

===Origin===
Garchomp appears to combine traits of dinosaurian {{wp|kaiju}}s, {{wp|wyvern}}s, {{wp|aircraft}}s, and different species of {{wp|shark}}s. It may also reference [https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/LandShark land sharks], a recurring creature in fantasy settings. Garchomp also shares traits with various species of sharks, noticeably the {{wp|hammerhead shark}}. Its {{t|Ground}} type might also be a reference to {{wp|Carcharhiniformes|ground sharks}} or {{wp|sand shark}}s. It may also be based on {{wp|Therapoda|theropod}} dinosaurs, particularly the ''{{wp|Carcharodontosaurus}}'', whose teeth are often compared to the great white shark's due to similar serrations and sharpness. Garchomp's aircraft traits may allude to {{wp|Curtiss P-40 Warhawk}} fighters. These models popularized shark-themed {{wp|nose art}}s on aircraft and were often referred to as "desert sharks".

Mega Garchomp's skull-like head and scythe arms may be based on traits of typical {{wp|Grim Reaper}} depictions.

====Name origin====
Garchomp may be a combination of its Japanese name, ''carcharias'' (Latinization of the Greek word for shark ''karkharías''), ''chomp'', and possibly ''gargantuan''.

Gaburias may be a combination of がぶり ''gaburi'' (with a big bite) and ''carcharias'' or アース ''āsu'' (earth).

[[File:Mega Mewtwo vs Mega Lucario.png|thumb|250px|Confrontation of two Mega-Evolved Pokémon, Mega {{p|Mewtwo}} Y and Mega {{p|Lucario}}]]

'''Mega Evolution''' (Japanese: '''メガシンカ''' ''Mega Evolution'') is a type of [[item]]-induced [[Form|form change]] introduced in {{g|X and Y}} that affects certain {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. It is present in the [[Generation VI]] and {{gen|VII}} [[core series]] games, and has reappeared in {{g|Legends: Z-A}} and its [[Mega Dimension]] [[Downloadable content|DLC]]. During its core series absence, it has remained usable in multiple {{spin-off games}}, such as {{pkmn|GO}}, {{pkmn|Masters EX}}, and {{pkmn|UNITE}}.

Certain Pokémon can undergo Mega Evolution by having their Trainer activate their [[Key Stone]] while the Pokémon holds their corresponding [[Mega Stone]]. There are currently 87 species of Pokémon that are known to be capable of Mega Evolution, and there are currently 93 (or 96, counting specific variations) different known Mega Evolutions.

==Terminology==
The term '''Mega Evolution''' describes both the phenomenon<ref>{{p|Roaring Moon}}'s [[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet|Pokémon Violet]] [[Pokédex]] entry: ''"According to an article in a dubious magazine, this Pokémon has some connection to a phenomenon that occurs in a certain region."''</ref> and the transformed Pokémon. The related verb is '''Mega Evolve'''.

The '''Mega-Evolved''' Pokémon<ref group="lower-alpha">"Mega Evolved" is hyphenated as "Mega-Evolved" when used as an adjective before a noun e.g. "Mega-Evolved Pokémon" or "Mega-Evolved form". [https://www.pokemon.com/us/strategy/elevate-heroic-hoenn-pokemon-with-mega-evolution Elevate Heroic Hoenn Pokémon with Mega Evolution], [[Pokémon.com]]. [https://press.pokemon.com/en/releases/Pokemon-Shuffle-Launch-Announced-New-Pokemon-Discovered-in-Pokemon-Ome Pokémon Shuffle Launch Announced, New Pokémon Discovered in Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire], Press release, [[Pokémon.com]]. [https://www.pokemon.com/uk/strategy/a-guide-to-mega-evolution-in-pokemon-go A Guide to Mega Evolution in Pokémon GO], [[Pokémon.com]]</ref> are identified by having "'''Mega'''" in front of their name, such as Mega {{p|Altaria}} or Mega {{p|Meganium}}. For Pokémon with two Mega Evolutions, there are two naming conventions:
* Both Mega Evolutions are followed by either the letter X or Y: e.g., Mega {{p|Charizard}} X and Mega Charizard Y.
* If one of them is a Z Mega Evolution, only it will be followed by the letter Z: e.g., Mega {{p|Lucario}} and Mega Lucario Z.

==Overview==
[[File:Ralts Evolution Z-A.png|thumb|right|250px|The Evolution line for {{p|Ralts}} leading up to {{p|Kirlia}} and Mega {{p|Gardevoir}}]]
Described as "[[Evolution]] that transcends Evolution",<ref>[https://pokemonletsgo.pokemon.com/en-gb/story/#:~:text=Prepare%20for%20Mega%20Evolution! Prepare for Mega Evolution! | Pokémon Let's Go, Pikachu! and Pokémon Let's Go, Eevee!]</ref> the process of Mega Evolution drastically increases a {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}'s strength, as evident by the increase in [[base stat]]s upon Mega Evolving,<ref>[http://www.pokemonxy.com/en-us/pokemon/mega_pokemon/ Mega-Evolved Pokémon | Pokémon X and Pokémon Y] ([https://web.archive.org/web/20160219212327/http://www.pokemonxy.com/en-us/pokemon/mega_pokemon/ archived])</ref> as well as the fact that it occurs only on Pokémon that are not able to evolve any further. Despite its name, Mega Evolution differs from regular Evolution in the sense that it is only a temporary transformation. To Mega Evolve, a Pokémon requires a strong bond with its {{pkmn|Trainer}},<ref>[http://www.pokemonxy.com/en-us/whats_new/mega_evolution Mega Evolution | Pokémon X and Pokémon Y] ([https://web.archive.org/web/20150208104005/http://www.pokemonxy.com/en-us/whats_new/mega_evolution archived])</ref><ref>[http://www.pokemonrubysapphire.com/en-us/pokemon/new-mega-evolutions/new-mega-evolutions New Mega Evolutions | Pokémon Omega Ruby and Pokémon Alpha Sapphire] ([https://web.archive.org/web/20150202062733/http://www.pokemonrubysapphire.com/en-us/pokemon/new-mega-evolutions/new-mega-evolutions archived])</ref> and two specific items are required for the process: a corresponding [[Mega Stone]] (except for {{p|Rayquaza}}, who only needs to know {{m|Dragon Ascent}}), and a [[Key Stone]] for the Trainer.<ref>{{mas|Professor Sycamore}}: ''"Well, theoretically, Mega Evolution should only be possible through the use of two [[Key Stone|special]] [[Mega Stone|stones]] by a {{pkmn|Trainer}} and {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} who share a strong bond."'' ({{g|Masters EX}})</ref> Mega Evolution imparts a Pokémon with even greater power by unleashing its hidden energy.<ref>[https://legends.pokemon.com/en-us/mega-pokemon Mega Evolution | Pokémon Legends: Z-A]</ref>

Along with the power boost, Mega Evolution triggers a transformation in the Pokémon's appearance and behavior, which can be minor in some cases, such as {{p|Slowbro}} or {{p|Kangaskhan}}. Even though it is usually described as beneficial, some Pokémon, like {{p|Scizor}} or {{p|Houndoom}}, are said to experience discomfort while Mega Evolved. Additionally, it may change the Pokémon's [[Ability]] to a set one (for instance, a regular {{p|Venusaur}} can have the standard Ability {{a|Overgrow}} or the [[Hidden Ability]] {{a|Chlorophyll}}, but a Mega Venusaur always has {{a|Thick Fat}}) and may also alter its [[type]], be it by adding, changing, or removing one (Mega {{p|Ampharos}}, Mega {{p|Gyarados}}, and Mega {{p|Aggron}}, respectively, are examples of such cases). Certain Pokémon even gain a new {{pkmn|category}} upon Mega Evolution; e.g., Darkrai is known as the Pitch-Black Pokémon in the [[Pokédex]] and the Bad Dreams Pokémon as Mega Darkrai.

{{g|Legends: Z-A}} introduces the concept of '''[[Rogue Mega Evolution]]''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|暴走メガシンカ|Bōsō Mega-shinka}}''' ''Rampaging Mega Evolution''), whereby [[wild Pokémon]] undergo Mega Evolution on their own after exposition to high concentrations of [[Mega Power]], which drives them into a berserk, painful state. The [[Mega Dimension]] [[Downloadable content|DLC]] further introduces the concept of '''Z Mega Evolution''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|Ｚと名のつくメガシンカ|Z to Na no Tsuku Mega-shinka}}''' ''Mega Evolution with the name Z''), which mechanically differ from regular Mega Evolutions in that the charge up time for their [[move]]s are shorter, with the drawback being that their Mega Power meters drain quicker.<ref name="MegaLucarioZ">[https://legends.pokemon.com/en-us/news/mega_lucario_z A New Mega-Evolved Pokémon Is Here | Pokémon Legends: Z-A – Mega Dimension]</ref>

===History===
{{spoilers}}
The phenomenon of Mega Evolution originated in the [[Hoenn]] [[region]], with {{p|Rayquaza}} being the first-ever Pokémon to Mega Evolve.<ref>[[Draconid people|Draconid descendant]], [[Meteor Falls]]: "''Yes, I am one of the [[Draconid people]]. One of the ancient folk tasked with passing down the knowledge of Mega Evolution—with the great lore of Lord {{p|Rayquaza}}, who was the beginning of all."'' ({{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}})</ref><ref>[[Korrina]], [[Hyperspace Sky Pillar]]: ''"I'm gonna get to meet—and battle—the very first Pokémon that ever Mega Evolved..."'' ({{g|Legends: Z-A}} — [[Mega Dimension]])</ref> According to the legend, as told by [[Zinnia]] at [[Sky Pillar]] and reiterated by [[Ansha]], a huge meteoroid struck the planet 1,000 years ago, creating the crater where currently lies [[Sootopolis City]] and causing natural energy to pour out of the cracks. In turn, this caused [[Primal Reversion|Primal]] {{p|Groudon}} and Primal {{p|Kyogre}} to reawaken and fight for it over endless, world-defining clashes. The people at the time, the [[Draconid people|Draconids]], could only stand by and wish for Rayquaza to appear and bring salvation, as it had done before. Responding to the Draconids' wishes, Rayquaza descended over the brilliant meteoroid and transformed into a sublime figure before quelling the conflict—in this sense, the meteoroid acted as a [[Key Stone]], amplifying the wishes into the bond necessary to connect the people to Rayquaza, who already had the innate potential to Mega Evolve. [[AZ]] witnessed these events.<ref>[[Zinnia]]: ''"A witness to this series of events, a tall [[AZ|visitor]] from a [[Kalos|distant land]], said, “It is the Δ (Delta), born of the great disturbances in this world. By the bonds born of mankind's wish and the power of the stones, it will calm the troubles that plague the world.”"'' ({{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}})</ref><ref>[[Emma]]: ''"Ah! I just remembered that [[AZ]] mentioned something else. He said during his long journey searching for {{p|Floette}}, he saw a phenomenon in [[Hoenn]] that may have been the beginning of all Mega Evolution!"'' ({{g|Legends: Z-A}})</ref> The meeting between humanity and Rayquaza allowed for the mechanism behind the phenomenon to be understood, which led to the current theory of Mega Evolution.<ref>Scientist, [[Devon Corporation]]: "''Those who saw the way that Rayquaza, possessing this special power, reacted to their [[Key Stone]]s to transform itself, began research into the subject. It came to be recognized as a form of [[Evolution]], a new possibility for Pokémon. And what we stitched together from all of this long research is the current theory of Mega Evolution."'' ({{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}})</ref>

During the events of {{g|X and Y}}, the prevailing idea was that Mega Evolution was a phenomenon exclusive to the [[Kalos]] region,<ref>[[Professor Sycamore]]: ''"And why are there examples of Mega Evolution only in the [[Kalos]] [[region]]? There's still so much we don't know..."'' ({{g|X and Y}})</ref> where the first-ever Mega Evolution supposedly took place after a {{pkmn|Trainer}} and {{p|Lucario}} found the first known [[Mega Stone]] and Key Stone.<ref>NPC, [[Tower of Mastery]]: ''"Long, long ago, a {{pkmn|Trainer}} came to this land accompanied by a {{p|Lucario}}. They found two strange stones. This is said to have led to the world's first Mega Evolution."'' ({{g|X and Y}})</ref><ref>Painting, [[Lumiose Museum]]: ''"The [[Tower of Mastery]] stands to the north of [[Shalour City]]. Two strange stones were once discovered in this area, which are now thought to have been the first known [[Mega Stone]] and Key Stone."'' ({{g|Legends: Z-A}})</ref> In the five years leading to {{g|Legends: Z-A}}, however, this notion seems to have been debunked,<ref>[[Mission (Legends: Z-A)#Side missions|Constance]]: ''"The story goes that this [[AZ]] person traveled all the way to some far-off region called [[Hoenn]]. There, he researched the origins of Mega Evolution to staisfy his own curiosity."'' ({{g|Legends: Z-A}})</ref> with paintings of the [[Tower of Mastery]] at the [[Lumiose Museum]] now claiming that Lucario was the first Pokémon to Mega Evolve in the Kalos region, specifically. Despite this, [[Professor Sycamore]]'s theory on the origin of Mega Stones being a consequence of the use of the [[ultimate weapon]] seems to still be upheld, at least partially, with AZ himself supporting his claims.<ref>[[Emma]]: ''"[[Professor Sycamore]]'s theory was that Mega Stones formed three thousand years ago... when certain stones were irradiated by the light—the energy of the [[Legendary Pokémon]]—that was fired from the [[ultimate weapon]]. AZ nodded when he heard that. According to him, that's why we've been finding new types of Mega Stones recently. After all, the ultimate weapon was fired again five years ago..."'' ({{g|Legends: Z-A}})</ref> In {{g|Sun and Moon}}, [[Sina]] implies the phenomenon does not naturally occur in regions far from Kalos, such as [[Alola]].<ref>[[Sina]]: ''"It's so mysterious... to be talking about Mega Evolution here, in a region so far away from Kalos..."'' ({{g|Sun and Moon}}).</ref>

According to Professors {{prof|Cozmo}} and Sycamore, Mega Evolution triggers the release of the entirety of a Pokémon's hidden energy at once,<ref>[[Professor Cozmo]]: ''"We will start off by artificially replicating the massive energy that is triggered at the time of Mega Evolution!"'' ({{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}})</ref><ref>[[Lysandre]]: ''"According to Professor Sycamore's research, Mega Evolution releases all of a Pokémon's hidden energy at once."'' ({{g|X and Y}})</ref> implying a strong connection to a Pokémon's own life force. This is further suggested by the fact that [[Infinity Energy]], the power source used as fuel for the ultimate weapon, has been confirmed multiple times to be made of the life energy of Pokémon,<ref>[[Mr. Stone]]: ''"And what energy source could power such a dreadful weapon? Do you know? You see... It ran on the life energy of Pokémon. The energy that could be gained by the sacrifice of so many Pokémon..."'' ({{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}})</ref><ref>[[Lysandre Labs]], B3F: ''"The weapon will be powered by living Pokémon—or rather by the life energy they contain."'' ({{g|Legends: Z-A}})</ref> and that the [[Devon Corporation]] researched into Mega Evolution in order to develop Infinity Energy. In addition, Pokémon Legends: Z-A introduces [[Mega Power]], a form of energy emitted by [[Ange]] from within [[Prism Tower]] that, when in excessive amounts, is able to make wild Pokémon enter a frenzied, Mega-Evolved state that heavily strains its body, a process known as [[Rogue Mega Evolution]]. [[Mable]] suggests that {{p|Xerneas}}'s life energy can act similar to Mega Power, enabling the phenomenon of Rogue Mega Evolution.<ref>[[Mable]]: ''"The excessive [[Mega Power]] from the tower caused [[Rogue Mega Evolution]], and if {{p|Xerneas}} shows up, something similar could happen again. I mean, it has command of basically an unlimited pool of life energy!"'' ({{g|Legends: Z-A}})</ref> Mega Power can be stored in a [[Mega Ring]] and be used by the {{player}} to Mega Evolve a Pokémon or upgrade a [[move]] into a [[Plus Move]].

In {{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}}, [[Colress]] questions whether or not [[Z-Power]] can surpass the Mega Ring.<ref>[[Colress]]: ''"[[Z-Power]]... Is it the true potential that I seek? Does it surpass the [[Mega Ring]]?" ({{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}})''</ref> [[Dexio]] and Sina also imply that the two are similar due both being powered up by the Trainer-Pokémon relational bond.<ref>[[Sina]]: ''"You know, when you think about it, the [[Z-Power Ring]] helps the feelings of a Trainer reach their Pokémon so it can use its [[Z-Move]], right? It only follows that it should be able to achieve Mega Evolution, too!"'' ({{g|Sun and Moon}})</ref>

Mega Evolution is also referenced in the {{DL|Magazines in the Pokémon world|Occulture}} magazine and in the [[Paldea]] [[Pokédex]], where it is mentioned that {{p|Roaring Moon}} resembles Mega {{p|Salamence}}.

===In battle===
[[File:Blaziken Mega Evolution.png|thumb|left|240px|{{p|Blaziken}} Mega Evolving into Mega Blaziken]]
In the [[core series]] games, Mega Evolution requires the player to hold a [[Key Stone]] and a {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} capable of Mega Evolution holding its compatible [[Mega Stone]]. Only {{p|Rayquaza}} does not need a Mega Stone to Mega Evolve; instead, it must know the move {{m|Dragon Ascent}}. In {{LGPE}}, the player simply needs to have the required Mega Stone in their bag, since there is no held item feature. Although most media state that a strong bond with the Pokémon and their Trainer is needed, neither [[friendship]] nor [[affection]] is necessary to Mega Evolve in the games.

A Mega-Evolved Pokémon has different [[base stats]], with the exception of {{stat|HP}}, and can have a different [[Ability]] and [[type]] from its non-Mega-Evolved form. Every Mega-Evolved Pokémon (except for Mega {{p|Alakazam}} in [[Generation VI]]) has a [[base stat]] total 100 points higher than that of its base form, though in {{g|Legends: ZA}}, {{p|Mawile}}, {{p|Medicham}}, and {{p|Starmie}} have a greater increase in [[stat]]s. For the former two, this is to make up for the lack of Abilities in the game (they both have Abilities that double their {{stat|Attack}} stats, namely {{a|Huge Power}} and {{a|Pure Power}}), while the reason in Starmie's case is presently unknown though likely similar. Mega Zygarde gains only 70 points.

In any {{pkmn|battle}}, each {{pkmn|Trainer}} may only Mega Evolve a single Pokémon once. Mega Evolution is essentially a free action a Pokémon may make in addition to its normal [[move]], but if a Pokémon will not use a move, it cannot Mega Evolve. Mega Evolution occurs [[priority|before]] most actions except [[recall|switching out]]. A Mega-Evolved Pokémon will only revert to its original state if it [[fainting|faints]] or the battle ends; if it is switched out, it will remain Mega Evolved.

A Pokémon cannot Mega Evolve if it is being held in the airborne phase of {{m|Sky Drop}}. Neither volatile nor non-volatile [[status condition]]s such as {{status|paralysis}}, {{status|sleep}}, or {{status|infatuation}} will have any effect over a Pokémon's ability to Mega Evolve, even if they result in the Pokémon not being able to attack that turn.

Mega Stones are not affected by most moves or Abilities. The moves {{m|Bestow}}, {{m|Covet}}, {{m|Fling}}, {{m|Thief}}, {{m|Trick}}, and {{m|Switcheroo}} will fail to move a Mega Stone to or from a Pokémon that could use it to Mega Evolve, and the Abilities {{a|Magician}}, {{a|Pickpocket}} and {{a|Symbiosis}} will not activate. {{m|Knock Off}} cannot remove a Mega Stone from a Pokémon that can use it to Mega Evolve, so its power will not be increased since it cannot remove the item. The moves {{m|Embargo}} and {{m|Magic Room}} and the Ability {{a|Klutz}} will not prevent a Pokémon from using its respective Mega Stone to Mega Evolve.

Changes in a Pokémon's [[Ability]] will take place immediately. A {{p|Sharpedo}} that normally has {{a|Speed Boost}} will not gain a boost in {{stat|Speed}} at the end of the turn it Mega Evolves, but if it uses a biting move such as {{m|Crunch}} that turn, it will be boosted by {{a|Strong Jaw}}, its Ability as Mega Sharpedo.

A transformed Pokémon (either by {{m|Transform}} or {{a|Imposter}}) is unable to Mega Evolve. It will fail to Mega Evolve even if it is transformed into the correct species and it is holding the respective Mega Stone. However, it is still possible to transform into a Mega-Evolved Pokémon. The restriction of only one Mega Evolution per battle does not apply to transformed Pokémon.

====Generation VI====
In [[Generation VI]], performing Mega Evolution will not alter the turn order the turn the Pokémon undergoes Mega Evolution. A Pokémon with a lower Speed stat than their opponent will still go after them on the one turn the Mega Evolution occurs, even if their Mega Evolution increases Speed and would otherwise cause them to go first. The opposite is also true for Pokémon whose Speed stat decreases after Mega Evolution, such as {{p|Garchomp}}. However, turn order will be determined normally on every turn afterwards.

Otherwise, stat changes and type changes due to Mega Evolution take effect immediately and damage calculation proceeds as usual. For example, a Pokémon whose Mega Evolution has a lower base {{stat|Defense}} stat takes greater damage from physical moves on the turn it Mega Evolves. Likewise, the move {{m|Gyro Ball}} considers the Pokémon's Speed stat after Mega Evolution for damage calculation, not before. Even if a Pokémon only has an Ability such as {{a|Prankster}} before Mega Evolution, appropriate moves will gain priority. If a Pokémon gains Prankster upon Mega Evolution, appropriate moves will not gain priority.

When the player Mega Evolves a Pokémon for the first time since the save file is accessed, a longer animation than usual will play, showing the [[player character]] activating the Mega Evolution with their [[Mega Bracelet]]. On subsequent uses of Mega Evolution, a shorter animation will play, showing only the Pokémon as it Mega Evolves.

====Generation VII====
In [[Generation VII]], a Pokémon's Speed after Mega Evolution is used to determine turn order, not its Speed before. Likewise, if a Pokémon only has an Ability such as Prankster before Mega Evolution, appropriate moves will not gain priority. If a Pokémon gains Prankster upon Mega Evolution, appropriate moves will gain priority. {{p|Rayquaza}} cannot Mega Evolve if it is holding a [[Z-Crystal]].

In {{LGPE}}, as the [[held item]] mechanic is not implemented, the player simply needs to have the compatible Mega Stone in their bag to access a Pokémon's Mega Evolution. The player can also manually pick which form Charizard or Mewtwo can become from the move menu.

====Generation IX====
[[File:Rogue Mega Evolution.png|thumb|250px|A Rogue Mega {{p|Victreebel}}]]
Mega Evolution returned in {{g|Legends: Z-A}} after seven years of absence.

Mega-Evolved Pokémon are shown to now be surrounded by a rainbow-colored aura. It is manually activated while clicking the right thumb stick, but unlike in previous games, only when the "Mega Gauge" is full, which can be done by using moves on opposing Pokémon or by gathering orbs of [[Mega Power]], which are dropped by opposing Mega-Evolved Pokémon. Additionally, Mega Evolution no longer lasts until the end of the battle and is now on a time limit, which can be slightly extended by gathering Mega Power orbs. Mega Stones need to be held by the affiliated Pokémon in order to allow Mega Evolution. Unlike in previous games, the player can Mega Evolve their Pokémon multiple times per battle.

[[Rogue Mega Evolution]] is a phenomenon that causes [[wild Pokémon]] to Mega Evolve on their own, without the need of a Trainer. These Pokémon are apparently in pain, much bigger than normal after Mega Evolving, and surrounded by a pink-colored aura. Calming a Rogue Mega-Evolved Pokémon will reward the [[Mega Stone]] that is compatible with the defeated Pokémon. [[Team MZ]] is tasked with investigating this strange abnormality by [[Quasartico Inc.]]<ref>"[https://www.pokemon.com/us/pokemon-video-games/pokemon-legends-z-a Pokémon Legends: Z-A | Pokémon.com]: ''"[[Quasartico Inc.]], the corporation driving [[Lumiose City]]'s redevelopment, will task you and the rest of [[Team MZ]] with aiding their investigation into these strange occurrences. Work together with your friends from Team MZ to take on and calm a variety of [[Rogue Mega Evolution|Rogue Mega-Evolved]] Pokémon. You can also obtain Mega Stones by pacifying Rogue Mega-Evolved Pokémon.''"</ref>

In the [[Mega Dimension]] DLC, Z Mega Evolution is introduced for the first time. Z Mega Evolutions take less time to unleash moves compared to other Mega Evolutions, but burn through [[Mega Power]] much faster.<ref name="MegaLucarioZ"/>

===Outside of battle===
[[File:Mega Evolution Contest Spectacular.png|thumb|left|220px|A {{p|Gardevoir}} Mega Evolving in a [[Pokémon Contest|Contest Spectacular]]]]
In {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, Mega Evolution can also occur during the {{pkmn|Contest#Secondary judging|Talent Round}} of [[Pokémon Contest|Pokémon Contest Spectaculars]]. If the participating Pokémon is holding its corresponding Mega Stone when its [[appeal]] causes the audience's excitement to reach its peak, it will Mega Evolve and perform a {{DL|Appeal|Spectacular Talent}}. The Pokémon will remain Mega-Evolved for the remainder of the Talent Round.

When summoned by the [[Eon Flute]], {{p|Latios}}{{sup/6|OR}}/{{p|Latias}}{{sup/6|AS}} will Mega Evolve before the player mounts it to [[soaring in the sky|soar in the sky]]. It will Mega Evolve even if it is not holding its corresponding Mega Stone, since the Eon Pokémon is summoned even if it is currently not in the player's game.

==In the side series games==
===Pokémon Champions===
Players will be able to Mega Evolve their Pokémon in [[Pokémon Champions]] through the [[Omni Ring]].<ref>[https://champions.pokemon.com/en-us/ The Omni Ring—A Battle Essential! | Pokémon Champions] "Other special features may be added to the Omni Ring in the future! Research is being conducted to make the Omni Ring capable of drawing out a variety of Pokémon capabilities."</ref>

==In the spin-off games==
===[[Pokémon GO]]===
{{main|Mega Evolution (GO)}}
Mega Evolution was introduced in Pokémon GO on August 27, 2020. Rather than using a [[Mega Stone]], an eligible Pokémon consumes [[Mega Energy]] to undergo Mega Evolution for 8 real life hours.

===[[Pokémon Masters EX]]===
{{main|Mega Evolution (Masters)}}
Certain [[sync pair]]s can Mega Evolve their Pokémon by performing a [[sync move]] in Pokémon Masters EX since the game's launch.

===[[Pokémon UNITE]]===
[[File:UNITE Mega Pokémon Official Artwork.png|200px|thumb|Four Mega Evolutions in Pokémon UNITE]]
{{p|Mewtwo}} can become [[Mewtwo (Unite License X)|Mega Mewtwo X]] or [[Mewtwo (Unite License Y)|Mega Mewtwo Y]]. This is facilitated by its {{a|Pressure}} [[Ability]], which has a Mega gauge which is filled by using [[basic attack]]s and {{UNITE|move}}s on members of the opposing team. If the gauge is full, and Mewtwo is at least [[Level]] 5, it will Mega Evolve.

Unlike in the [[core series]], Mewtwo can only be Mega Evolved for a set amount of time, delineated by the Mega gauge draining back to empty, after which it returns to being a normal Mewtwo. However, Mewtwo can refill its Mega gauge to Mega Evolve multiple times in the same battle. When Mega Evolved, Mega Mewtwo X and Mega Mewtwo Y have different basic attacks and increased stats compared to Mewtwo.

Starting from version 1.14.1.2, Mewtwo spends some of the [[Aeos energy]] it is holding when it Mega Evolves. The Mega Evolution will last longer if Mewtwo uses up more Aeos energy.

There are two [[Unite License]]s for Mewtwo. While both of them allow for using Mewtwo in a [[Unite Battle]], each one has separate characteristics. Only the Unite License X one Mega Evolves into Mega Mewtwo X, while the Unite License Y one Mega Evolves into Mega Mewtwo Y.

Starting from version 1.20.1.2, Mewtwo is required to hold its respective Mega Stone, either Mewtwonite X or Mewtwonite Y depending on the Unite License, as a held item.

In a letter from the producer released on July 15, 2025, it was announced that more Mega-Evolved Pokémon were planned to be added to the game to celebrate the release of Pokémon Legends: Z-A.<ref>[https://community.pokemon.com/en-us/discussion/19322/letter-from-the-producer-pokemon-unite-s-4th-anniversary Letter from the Producer—Pokémon UNITE’s 4th Anniversary]</ref> {{UNITE|Mega Lucario}} was the first of these new Mega Evolutions to release, followed by {{UNITE|Mega Charizard X}}. More Mega-Evolved Pokémon would also be released throughout the rest of 2025, including {{UNITE|Mega Gyarados}} and {{UNITE|Mega Charizard Y}}.<ref>[https://x.com/Pokemon/status/1962712084421992841]</ref>

Unlike Mewtwo, these Mega-Evolved Pokémon have separate [[Unite license]]s from their base forms. When using the Unite license, the Pokémon starts off in their base form, however they can only choose one specific set of moves and have a different [[Ability]]. When the Pokémon uses its [[Move (UNITE)#Unite Move|Unite Move]], it will Mega Evolve. When Mega Evolved, various aspects of the Pokémon are changed. The Pokémon's Ability is changed and their basic attacks and/or moves are upgraded in some way. Like Mewtwo, the Mega Evolution only lasts for a limited time and the Pokémon are also required to hold their respective Mega Stones as a held item.

====[[Pokémon Frienda]]====
Introduced during the [[Set 5 (Frienda)|fifth set]], Mega Evolution is one of the main mechanics that can be assigned to a Frienda Pick, similarly to [[Z-Move|Z-Moves]] and the [[Terastal phenomenon]].

At the start of each attacking turn, the player will be prompted with a '''Mega Evolution Chance!''' (Japanese: '''メガシンカチャンス！'''If the player decides to Mega Evolve their Pokémon, they will be presented with a rhythm game-esque "highway" of Mega Evolution marks and will be challenged to touch the Mega Evolution mark at the bottom of the screen as they intersect. Doing so accurately will increase the Pokémon's '''Mega Evolution Power''' (Japanese: '''メガシンカパワー'''). A total of five Mega Evolution marks will move down, and if the player is accurate enough with at least two marks, the Pokémon will Mega Evolve. Additionally, if the player uses the real-world Pokémon MEGA RING accessory, they will skip the requirement of needing at least two successful marks to activate mega evolution, and will be able to exceed the previous maximum power of Mega Evolution for an even stronger boost.

When a Mega Evolved Pokémon attacks, the Attack Roulette will apply a '''Mega Evolution Bonus!''' (Japanese: '''メガシンカボーナス！''') and upgrade the largest value to a double-size rainbow-colored space with a value equal to the Mega Evolution Power attained. The size of the rainbow-colored space will be increased even further with the Pokémon MEGA RING. A Pokémon will remain in its Mega Evolved form for as long as it is able to battle and only one Pokémon may Mega Evolve per session.

===Super Smash Bros. series===
[[File:Mega Charizard X SSB4.png|thumb|250px|Charizard as Mega Charizard X in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U]]
====[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U]]====
{{SSB|Charizard}} and {{SSB|Lucario}}'s [[Final Smash]]es are both Mega Evolution, which transforms them into Mega Charizard X and Mega Lucario, respectively. This Mega Evolution acts as a temporary power-up for the duration of the Final Smash.

{{SSB|Mewtwo}}'s Final Smash is {{m|Psystrike}}, which has it Mega Evolve into Mega Mewtwo Y then use Psystrike.

Mega Venusaur and Mega Blastoise appear as trophies in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS. Mega {{p|Blastoise}}, Mega {{p|Blaziken}}, Mega {{p|Kangaskhan}}, Mega {{p|Venusaur}}, Mega {{p|Lucario}}, Mega {{p|Mewtwo}} X, Mega Mewtwo Y, and Mega {{p|Charizard}} X appear as trophies in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U.

====[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]====
Mewtwo retains its [[Final Smash]] Psystrike from Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U, which still causes it to Mega Evolve into Mega Mewtwo Y.

Lucario's Final Smash, Aura Storm, has it Mega Evolve into Mega Lucario in order to use it.

Mega Charizard X, Mega Kangaskhan, Mega Mewtwo Y, Mega Lucario, and Mega {{p|Diancie}} appear as {{sbw|Spirit}}s.

===[[Pokémon Shuffle]]===
{{main|Mega Evolution (Shuffle)}}
Before a Pokémon's Mega Evolution can be used in Pokémon Shuffle, its respective [[Mega Stone]] must be obtained (or in {{p|Rayquaza}}'s case, the [[File:Meteorite Shuffle.png|link=]] [[Meteorite]]). Methods to obtain a Mega Stone include:
* Defeating a Pokémon's Mega-Evolved form in a {{pkmn|Trainer}} battle, usually at the end of each {{DL|Stage (Shuffle)|Main stage|main stage area}}.
* Completing certain objectives on [[Mission Card]]s.
* Reaching certain {{OBP|Trainer rank|Shuffle}}s by catching several different species of Pokémon.
* Achieving a high rank in a [[competitive stage]].
* Clearing certain milestone stages in an [[escalation battle]].

The Pokémon placed in the first position (furthest to the left) when selecting {{DL|Pokémon Shuffle|Support Pokémon}} will Mega Evolve after the player fills the Mega Gauge. This is filled by matching the Pokémon being Mega Evolved, or by matching Pokémon with the {{DL|Skill (Shuffle)|Mega Boost}}({{DL|Skill (Shuffle)|Mega Boost+|+}}, {{DL|Skill (Shuffle)|Mega Boost++|++}}) {{OBP|Skill|Shuffle}}s who are of the same [[type]] as the Pokémon being Mega Evolved. The size of the Mega Gauge depends on the Pokémon being Mega Evolved, with each Pokémon requiring different numbers of icons to be matched to fill its gauge. The maximum amount of icons needed to fill the gauge can be permanently decreased by using [[File:Mega Speedup.png|20px|link=]] Mega Speedup {{DL|List of items in Pokémon Shuffle|Enhancements}}, with each Pokémon having a different maximum amount of Mega Speedups they can take.

Once a Pokémon is Mega Evolved, its skill is replaced by its Mega Effect for the remainder of the battle. Mega Effect varies between Pokémon.

===[[Pokémon Rumble World]]===
The player gains the ability to Mega Evolve their Pokémon after completing the challenge "Raid of the Mighty General", then receiving the Special Stone Shop and a Mega Key from the rewards section of the ordinary shop. [[Mega Stone]]s for currently owned Pokémon can be bought and immediately attached to its corresponding Pokémon using the Special Stone Shop. The first Mega Stone of the player's choice is free (unless either the [[Red Orb|Red]] or [[Blue Orb]] is chosen instead) and every one after it costs 5 Poké Diamonds. During battle, Mega Evolution can be performed by tapping the Mega Evolution button using a Pokémon equipped with a Mega Stone in battle. Mega Evolution can be used again on any Pokémon in the same battle, unlike in the main games.

Mega-Evolved Pokémon revert after a completed trip, or when they are defeated or switched out. Mega Evolving will send out a shockwave that damages enemy Pokémon. This shockwave is capable of defeating and tipping over opposing Pokémon. Additionally, it also resets any negative status conditions or status changes the Pokémon had before Mega Evolving.

===Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series===
{{Incomplete|section|Information for Stat modifiers while Mega Evolved}}

====[[Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon]]====
[[File:Mega Evolution ingame PSMD.png|thumb|left|250px|Mega Evolution in Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon]]
[[File:Berserk PSMD.png|thumb|250px|Mega Alakazam in Berserk mode]]
Mega Evolution allows Pokémon to become more powerful, attack multiple enemies, and break down walls. To achieve Mega Evolution, the player must find an [[File:MDBag Awakening Emera VI Sprite.png]] [[Emera#List of emeras|Awakening Emera]] in a Dungeon. These [[Emera]]s can be attached to a Looplet of a Pokémon that can Mega Evolve, causing it to Mega Evolve immediately. A Looplet attached with an Awakening emera will have a rainbow glow [[File:MDBag Looplet 3 VI Sprite.png]]. Should it be given to {{p|Mewtwo}} or {{p|Charizard}}, their Mega Evolution will be chosen randomly.

A bar will appear above the Mega-Evolved Pokémon after it transforms and will slowly start to fill up. As long as the bar is present, the Mega-Evolved Pokémon will keep their form even when moving to the next floor. Once the bar is filled, the Mega-Evolved Pokémon will go into {{DL|Status condition (Mystery Dungeon)|Miscellaneous status conditions|Berserk mode}}. In Berserk mode, the Pokémon will move around and use a powerful attack on any Pokémon surrounding it, friend and foe alike. This will go away after a while, and the Pokémon will revert to normal. When Mega Evolved, its [[regular attack]] will get a huge boost in power and range, destroy walls, and reveal purple sparkling spots on the floor which can be picked up for an item.

Attaching an Awakening Emera to a Pokémon that cannot Mega Evolve increases its stats by a lot and give it different boosts. Pokémon that cannot Mega Evolve with an Awakening Emera attached will not go into Berserk mode.

Awakening Emeras are hard to find and appear randomly in dungeons; like other Emeras, they will disappear if they are not reached in time.
{{-}}

====[[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Rescue Team DX]]====
Mega Evolution returns in Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Rescue Team DX, and in this game is achieved by eating an Empowerment Seed. Mega-Evolved Pokémon also have all of the bonuses granted by the Awakened status: linked moves always result in critical hits, moves will never miss, and moves will ignore unfavorable type matchups. Compared to the Awakened status, the only additional bonus Mega Evolution grants is the potential to change a Pokémon's type and ability.

As in Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon, if {{p|Mewtwo}} or {{p|Charizard}} Mega Evolves, their Mega Evolution will be chosen randomly.

Some bosses will also undergo Mega Evolution:
* During {{p|Rayquaza}}'s rematch or Mewtwo's boss fight, both will Mega Evolve once their health drops below one half of their total. Mewtwo will Mega Evolve randomly into Mega Mewtwo X or Mega Mewtwo Y.

===[[Pokémon Picross]]===
Once a player purchases a Mega Pencil from [[Professor Tetra]] for 500 Picrites, puzzles for Mega Evolutions can be solved. Only one Mega Evolution can be set at one time, and they cannot be brought alongside their normal forms. Their skills are higher ranked than their normal counterpart, and they can be used on larger puzzles.

===[[Pokkén Tournament]]===
{{pokken|Lucario}}, {{pokken|Garchomp}}, {{pokken|Gardevoir}}, {{pokken|Gengar}}, {{pokken|Charizard}}, {{pokken|Blaziken}}, {{pokken|Sceptile}}, {{pokken|Scizor}}, {{pokken|Blastoise}}, {{pokken|Mewtwo}}, and [[Shadow Mewtwo]] are able to Mega Evolve through Synergy Burst, with Charizard and both of the Mewtwo Mega Evolving into their X forms. Mega Evolution can be triggered whenever a Pokémon capable of it has its Synergy Gauge filled up to the max during a battle. The Mega-Evolved Pokémon will revert to its regular form once it has used up all of its [[Synergy]] power.

In addition, every time when Shadow Mewtwo is fought against in the game's story mode, it will Mega Evolve before the battle begins and stay in this state for the entire fight.

On the [[Dragon's Nest]] battle stage, Mega {{p|Rayquaza}} appears in the form of both an enormous statue alongside the battle arena and a drawing on the ground of the battle arena. On the [[Old Ferrum Town (Winter)]] battle stage, Mega {{p|Swampert}} appears in the form of a giant snow sculpture. Mega Rayquaza itself is also a Support Pokémon available as part of the Pokkén Tournament DX Battle Pack.

===[[Pokémon Trading Card Game Pocket]]===
{{main|Pokémon ex (TCG Pocket)|section=Mega Evolution Pokémon ex}}
Mega Evolution Pokémon appear in [[Pokémon Trading Card Game Pocket]] as '''Mega Evolution Pokémon ex''' cards, a variation of {{TCGP|Pokémon ex}}, debuting in the [[Mega Rising (TCG Pocket)|Mega Rising]] expansion. Mega Evolution Pokémon ex cards in Pokémon Trading Card Game Pocket are designed to be similar to their counterparts in the physical [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]], with yellow names and a black-and-yellow {{TCGP Icon|Mega ex}} symbol next to them. When a player's Mega Evolution Pokémon ex is Knocked Out, the opponent earns 3 points, thereby instantly winning the game.

===''Pokémon the Series''===
===={{aniseries|BW}}====
* In ''[[Mewtwo — Prologue to Awakening]]'', the first Mega Evolution in {{pkmn|animated series}}-related media was featured, where {{OBP|Mewtwo|M16}} was shown to be capable of changing between its regular form and Mega Mewtwo Y, in which its speed was dramatically boosted, being capable of moving faster than the blink of an eye. The same Mewtwo also played a major role in ''[[M16|Genesect and the Legend Awakened]]'', once again demonstrating its Mega Evolution capabilities. Unlike in the {{pkmn|games}}, this Mewtwo seemed to be capable of Mega Evolving without the use of a [[Mega Stone]]. However, because the concept of Mega Evolution had not been announced at the time of the movie's release, this transformation remains unnamed in the movie. Some Japanese promotional material for the movie as well as its {{ma|Genesect and the Legend Awakened|manga adaptation}} referred to it as Mewtwo's ''Awakened Form'' (覚醒した姿).<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>

===={{aniseries|XY}}====
* In ''[[XY001|Kalos, Where Dreams and Adventures Begin!]]'', the first Mega Evolution in an {{pkmn|animated series}} episode was featured where {{Ash}} saw a Mega {{p|Blaziken}}. In the [[XY002|next episode]], it was revealed to belong to a masked hero called the [[Blaziken Mask]], saving Ash from a free fall from the [[Prism Tower]]. It has since been seen helping Ash and {{ashfr}} on numerous occasions.
* In ''[[XY002|Lumiose City Pursuit!]]'', a Mega {{p|Ampharos}} and a Mega {{p|Charizard}} X appeared as silhouettes while {{an|Professor Sycamore}} told Ash, {{an|Clemont}}, and {{an|Bonnie}} about the concept of Mega Evolution.
* In ''[[XYS01|Mega Evolution Special I]]'', a {{pkmn|Trainer}} named [[Alain]] was featured traveling across the [[Kalos]] [[region]] with his Mega {{TP|Alain|Charizard}} X, challenging other Mega Evolution Trainers. During the episode, Alain battled [[Astrid]]'s Mega {{p|Absol}} and [[Remo]]'s Mega {{p|Garchomp}}, and was victorious in both battles. Later in the special, he even faced the [[Elite Four]] member [[Siebold]] and his Mega {{p|Blastoise}}, but the powerful {{type|Water}} Pokémon proved to be too much for Charizard, causing Alain to lose the battle.
** All known Mega Evolutions released at the time were also featured during the intro of the aforementioned special episode.

At the end of the movie, it was shown that a diamond Diancie had created and given to {{an|Bonnie}} earlier caused it to Mega Evolve, acting as a Key Stone.
* In ''[[XYS02|Mega Evolution Special II]]'', {{an|Steven Stone}}'s {{Shiny}} Mega {{TP|Steven|Metagross}} appeared as well as Mega {{p|Rayquaza}}.

* In ''[[XY096|A Giga Battle with Mega Results!]]'', a Mega {{TP|Nurse Joy|Audino}} appeared under the ownership of a [[Nurse Joy]].

A Mega Wave evolved Mega {{p|Heracross}} and Mega {{p|Pinsir}} were also loaned to {{TRT}}.

==In the manga==
[[File:X full Mega Evolution Adventures.png|250px|thumb|X's team achieving multiple Mega Evolutions at once in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
===Pokémon Adventures===
===={{MangaArc|X & Y}}====
At first, Mega Evolution was portrayed as a relatively unknown phenomenon, known only to [[Gurkinn]] and his Successors. Since then, it became apparent that [[Team Flare]] were also after the power of Mega Evolution, with one member even compiling a list of [[Mega Stone]]s that they discovered. Simultaneous Mega Evolutions can also be accomplished by a Trainer, as long as they have a Key Stone for each Pokémon they are Mega Evolving. However, doing so will cause severe mental stress on the Trainer, and they will be unable to focus on anything other than a single target until the Mega Evolution is undone.
*When [[Team Flare]] members [[Aliana]] and [[Mable]] arrived in [[Vaniville Town]] in order to steal {{adv|X}}'s [[Mega Ring]], the commotion caused X's baby {{p|Kangaskhan}}, [[Kanga and Li'l Kanga|Li'l Kanga]], to react with X's Mega Ring and Mega Evolve into Mega Kangaskhan, easily defeating Aliana's {{p|Pyroar}} and Mable's {{p|Houndoom}}.
*When X and his friends were attacked by Team Flare in [[Santalune City]], [[Korrina]] arrived and Mega Evolved her {{TP|Korrina|Lucario}} into Mega Lucario to assist them.
*In [[Lysandre Café]], [[Diantha]] had her {{TP|Diantha|Gardevoir}} Mega Evolve into Mega Gardevoir to make Lysandre back off from attacking {{adv|Trevor}}, {{adv|Shauna}}, and {{adv|Tierno}}.
*The Mega Evolutions of {{p|Aerodactyl}}, {{p|Aggron}}, {{p|Ampharos}}, {{p|Mawile}}, and {{p|Garchomp}} made cameos when Gurkinn explained Mega Evolution to [[Emma|Essentia]] during her raid on the [[Tower of Mastery]]. In the subsequent chapter, Gurkinn Mega Evolved his {{p|Heracross}}.
*During Korrina's succession ceremony, [[Gurkinn's students|three Successors]] demonstrated Mega Evolution to her by Mega Evolving their {{p|Medicham}}, {{p|Scizor}}, and {{p|Alakazam}} respectively.
*While visiting [[Lumiose City]], X met an {{p|Electrike}}, which led him to a [[Manectite]], evolving into {{p|Manectric}} in the process. Later, Manectric joins X's team, Mega Evolving into Mega Manectric while facing a {{tc|Team Flare Grunt}}.
*During a battle against [[Team Flare]], Gurkinn's {{p|Gengar}} protected X from [[Celosia]]'s {{p|Aegislash}}. He helped battle against Team Flare to stop them from capturing {{p|Xerneas}} while in tree form. He was later given to X, at which point he nicknamed him Garma. Garma has a Gengarite, which allows X to Mega Evolve him into Mega Gengar.
*While confronting Essentia, X's {{p|Pinsir|Rute}} and Y's {{p|Absol|Solsol}} are given their respective Mega Stones, allowing them to Mega Evolve into Mega Pinsir and Mega Absol respectively.
*Both X's [[Salamè]] and [[Blue's Charizard]] Mega Evolved into Mega Charizard X and Mega Charizard Y respectively, after defeating [[Xerosic]]'s Pokémon.
*After reuniting with {{adv|Blaine}}, {{adv|Mewtwo}} gained the ability to Mega Evolve into both Mega Mewtwo X and Y. Due to their bond, Mewtwo is able to Mega Evolve more than once per battle.
*[[Gurkinn's students]] Mega Evolved their {{p|Houndoom}}, {{p|Tyranitar}}, {{p|Mawile}}, {{p|Banette}}, and {{p|Abomasnow}} for Trevor to study.

===={{MangaArc|Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire}}====
The role of Mega Evolution was diminished but its accessibility continued to be confined to a selected number of Trainers.
*In ''[[PS597|Latias Flies]]'', {{adv|Ruby}}, {{adv|Sapphire}}, and {{adv|Emerald}} were shown learning how to Mega Evolve their Pokémon from [[Ultima]]. Sapphire and Emerald were seen mastering it in ''[[PS599|Salamence Evolves]]'', where they Mega Evolved their respective first partner Pokémon, [[Chic|Blaziken]] and {{TP|Emerald|Sceptile}}.
*In ''[[PS598|Claydol Unleashes]]'', Ruby was able to successfully Mega Evolve {{DL|Eon duo (Adventures)|Latios}} into Mega Latios, allowing them to [[soaring in the sky|soar into the sky]]. He soon arrived at the [[Sky Pillar]], where he met and battled [[Zinnia]], who used her Mega {{TP|Zinnia|Salamence}} against Mega Latios.
*In ''[[PS602|Hoopa Distorts]]'', {{Steven}} Mega Evolved his {{TP|Steven|Metagross}} into Mega Metagross with his Mega Stickpin.
*In ''[[PS603|Slowbro Has an Idea]]'', [[Jinga]] of the [[Draconid people]] Mega Evolved his Slowbro into Mega Slowbro in his battle against Ruby.
*In ''[[PS604|Goodra Spits]]'', Ruby Mega Evolved [[Mumu]] into Mega Swampert.
*In ''[[PS607|Blastoise Transforms]]'', [[Maxie]] and [[Archie]] used their Mega Glasses and Mega Anchor to Mega Evolve their Camerupt and Sharpedo into Mega {{p|Camerupt}} and Mega {{p|Sharpedo}} respectively. In retaliation, {{adv|Red}} and {{adv|Green}} Mega Evolved [[Saur]] and [[Blasty]] into Mega {{p|Venusaur}} and Mega {{p|Blastoise}} respectively to battle them.
*In [[PS611]], footage of {{p|Rayquaza}} Mega Evolving was seen.
*In [[PS616]], {{adv|Giovanni}} Mega Evolved his {{TP|Giovanni|Beedrill}} as part of his explanation that the meteoroid headed for Hoenn may be housing a Pokémon inside of it, since Mega Evolution is only supposed to work within a battle. Later, Sapphire and Ruby Mega Evolved [[Kirly]] and [[Rara]] into Mega {{p|Gallade}} and Mega {{p|Gardevoir}} respectively during a brief battle against each other.
*In ''[[PAORAS21|Omega Alpha Adventure 21]]'', Ruby and Sapphire Mega Evolved {{DL|Super-ancient Pokémon (Adventures)|Rayquaza}} in order to have it destroy [[Grand Meteor Delta]]. Later, Ruby Mega Evolved {{p|Diancie}} for a Pokémon Contest Spectacular Performance.

===Let's Play the Pokémon Card Game XY!===
{{sectionstub}}

===Pocket Monsters XY: The Legend of the Pokémon Dragon King===
In [[Pocket Monsters XY: The Legend of the Pokémon Dragon King]], several main characters' Pokémon are capable of Mega Evolution, including {{OBP|Akira|LDK}}'s {{p|Charizard}}, {{OBP|Koji|LDK}}'s {{p|Garchomp}}, and [[Taichi]]'s {{p|Ampharos}}.

===Pokémon Journeys===
During a flashback in ''[[JNM10|Toughing It Out!]]'', it was revealed that Ash fought {{an|Korrina}}'s Mega {{TP|Korrina|Lucario}} in a [[World Coronation Series]] battle.

==In the TCG==
===XY Series===
{{main|Pokémon-EX|section=Mega Evolution Pokémon}}
In the XY Series, Mega Evolution first appears in the {{TCG|XY}} set in the form of '''{{TCG|Pokémon-EX|Mega Evolution Pokémon}}''', also known as '''Mega Evolution Pokémon-EX''', a subset of {{TCG|Pokémon-EX}}. Their names have {{Mega}} as a prefix and {{EX}} as a suffix. They additionally have a distinct stage of "MEGA", which serve as an Evolution of Pokémon-EX cards and are played by putting them on top of their corresponding Basic Pokémon-EX. Mega Evolving a Pokémon immediately ends a player's turn, unless that Pokémon has its specific Spirit Link {{TCG|Pokémon Tool card}} attached to it.

[[Atsushi Nagashima]], the game director for the TCG, has stated that Mega Evolution is exclusive to Pokémon-EX because it would be impractical to evolve a single Pokémon three times during a game, and implementing Mega Evolution in that manner would constrain deck-building.<ref>[https://www.gamespot.com/articles/how-pokemon-cards-are-made/1100-6459450/ How Pokemon Cards Are Made | GameSpot]</ref> The team had considered restricting players to one Mega-Evolved Pokémon per deck, but rejected this idea, as they wanted to enable players to build decks based around Mega Evolution.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20140101195743/https://www.pokemon-card.com/blog/2013/12/000367.html クリエイター～ゲームディレクター長島敦スペシャル対談～ | pokemon-card.com,] archived January 1st, 2014</ref>

===Sun & Moon Series===
In {{TCG|Unified Minds}} and {{TCG|Cosmic Eclipse}}, two {{TCG|TAG TEAM}} {{TCG|Pokémon-GX}} were printed that feature Mega-Evolved Pokémon as one of the two members of the tag team. These cards have no special mechanics outside of those which are part of the TAG TEAM mechanics.

===Mega Evolution Series===
{{main|Pokémon ex|section=Mega Evolution Pokémon ex}}
Mega Evolution Pokémon are set to return in the English {{TCG|Mega Evolution}} expansion (the Japanese {{TCG|Mega Brave/Mega Symphonia|Mega Brave and Mega Symphonia}} expansions) as '''Mega Evolution Pokémon ex''', a subset of {{TCG|Pokémon ex}}. They have a black-and-yellow {{Mega ex}} symbol next to their names. Unlike Mega Evolution Pokémon-EX from the XY series, these Pokémon ex share the same Evolution Stage as their base form — for example, {{TCG ID|Mega Evolution|Mega Gardevoir ex|60}} evolves from Kirlia and is a Stage 2 Pokémon. While they feature stronger attacks and more HP than normal Pokémon ex of their Evolution Stage, they also feature the Mega Evolution Pokémon ex rule, causing them to grant three Prize Cards when they are Knocked Out, rather than the typical two for Pokémon ex.

===List of Pokémon cards featuring Mega Evolution Pokémon===

==Trivia==
* There is at least one Mega-Evolved {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} from every [[generation]] and of every [[type]].
** Currently, [[Generation III]] has both the most Mega Evolutions and the most Pokémon capable of Mega Evolving (with 22 and 21, respectively), while [[Generation VIII]] has the fewest overall (with {{p|Falinks|one}}).
** {{t|Dragon}} has the most Mega Evolutions (with 17), while {{t|Rock}} and {{t|Ice}} are tied for having the fewest (with five each).
** No Mega-Evolved Pokémon has {{t|Flying}} as its primary type.
* Only fully evolved Pokémon are capable of Mega Evolution.
** {{p|Floette}} is the only exception to this, though only in its {{form|Floette|Eternal Flower}} form, which is incapable of evolving into or from any Pokémon.
* {{p|Charizard}}, Raichu, {{p|Mewtwo}}, {{p|Absol}}, {{p|Lucario}}, and {{p|Garchomp}} all have more than one Mega Evolution, accessible through distinct [[Mega Stone]]s.
** Similarly, {{p|Magearna}} and {{p|Tatsugiri}} have different appearances while Mega-Evolved depending on their form (Magearna's regular and Original Color forms and Tatsugiri's {{form|Tatsugiri|Curly, Droopy, and Stretchy}} Forms), but are nonetheless considered to have only one Mega Evolution each.
* All Pokémon that evolve with a [[Dawn Stone]] are capable of Mega Evolution.
* 74 Pokémon retain their original type combination upon Mega Evolving.
** {{p|Clefable}}, {{p|Pinsir}}, Mewtwo (into Mega Mewtwo X), {{p|Meganium}}, Feraligatr, Ampharos, {{p|Sceptile}}, Chimecho, {{p|Absol}} (into Mega Absol Z), {{p|Lopunny}}, and {{p|Audino}} all become dual-type upon Mega Evolving.
** {{p|Aggron}} and {{p|Garchomp}} (into Mega Garchomp Z) both become single-type upon Mega Evolving.
** Charizard (into Mega Charizard X), {{p|Gyarados}}, {{p|Altaria}}, {{p|Staraptor}}, {{p|Barbaracle}}, and {{p|Golisopod}} all change one of their types to a new one upon Mega Evolving.
*** Notably, Staraptor is the only such case in which it changes its primary type, rather than its secondary one.
** Mega Feraligatr, Mega Audino, and Mega Golisopod are the only Mega Evolutions that do not share any [[weakness]]es with their normal forms.
* Some Pokémon capable of Mega Evolution also have access to other forms or battle mechanics:
** Raichu and {{p|Slowbro}} are the only Pokémon to have a Mega Evolution and a [[regional form]].
** Raichu, between its Kantonian and [[Alolan form]], is the only Pokémon to have a Mega Evolution and an exclusive [[Z-Move]]: {{m|Stoked Sparksurfer}}.
** The fully evolved [[Kanto first partner Pokémon]] and {{p|Gengar}} are the only Pokémon that can both Mega Evolve and [[Gigantamax]].
* Some Mega-Evolved Pokémon have unique attributes:
** Mega Altaria is the only one with a [[List of Pokémon with unique type combinations|unique type combination]].
** Mega {{p|Kangaskhan}} and Mega {{p|Rayquaza}} are the only ones with a [[signature Ability]]: {{a|Parental Bond}} and {{a|Delta Stream}}, respectively.
** Mega {{p|Zygarde}} is the only one whose moveset changes upon Mega Evolving, with {{m|Nihil Light}} replacing {{m|Core Enforcer}}.
* {{p|Aerodactyl}} is the only [[Fossil|Fossil Pokémon]] capable of Mega Evolving.
* Rayquaza is the only Pokémon to not have a designated Mega Stone, as it doesn't need one to Mega Evolve in the core series games that include Mega Evolution, instead being required to know {{m|Dragon Ascent}}.
** This makes Rayquaza the only Pokémon that can have a different held item while Mega Evolving, since Mega Stones cannot be taken off their proper holder during battle.
** It is, furthermore, the only Pokémon to lack the message "(The opposing) <Pokémon>'s <Mega Stone> is reacting to its [[Key Stone]]!" when it Mega Evolves, as it has the message "<player>'s fervent wish has reached Rayquaza!" instead.
** In [[Pokémon Shuffle]], Rayquaza needs the player to get the [[Meteorite]] for it to Mega Evolve.

===Designs===
* Design-wise, multiple Mega-Evolved Pokémon seem to incorporate traits from their previous [[evolution]]ary stages:
** Mega {{p|Raichu}} X and Mega Raichu Y have {{p|Pikachu}}-like features:<ref>[https://legends.pokemon.com/en-gb/news/mega-dimension-hoopa The Mythical Pokémon Hoopa Holds the Key to the Story | Pokémon Legends: Z-A]</ref> the former has red cheeks, bright yellow fur, and a zig-zag tail, while the latter has the body shape, ears, and tail of its pre-Evolved form.
** Mega {{p|Dragonite}} gains features distinctive of {{p|Dragonair}}, such as the wings on its head and the pearl on its tail.<ref>[https://legends.pokemon.com/en-us/story-world/pokemon/mega-dragonite Mega Dragonite | Pokémon Legends: Z-A]</ref>
** Mega {{p|Feraligatr}}'s dorsal fin resembles a gigantic {{p|Totodile}}'s head, leading to it being referred to as a "Totodile mask".<ref>[https://legends.pokemon.com/en-us/story-world/pokemon/mega-feraligatr Mega Totodile | Pokémon Legends: Z-A]</ref>
** Mega {{p|Ampharos}}'s tail and head are covered in white fur,<ref>[http://www.pokemonxy.com/en-us/pokemon/mega_pokemon/#Ampharos Mega Ampharos | Pokémon X and Pokémon Y] ([https://web.archive.org/web/20150427074403/http://www.pokemonxy.com/en-us/pokemon/mega_pokemon/#Ampharos archived])</ref> which is the wool it originally had as a {{p|Mareep}} and {{p|Flaaffy}} that has regrown due to the excess energy from Mega Evolution stimulating its genes.
** Mega {{p|Tyranitar}}'s chest plate, back spikes, and eye-like marking resemble {{p|Pupitar}}.
** Mega {{p|Chimecho}} grows a golden frame with fake eyes and arms reminiscent of {{p|Chingling}}.
** Mega {{p|Metagross}} is said to be the result of one Metagross, one {{p|Metang}}, and two {{p|Beldum}} linking up.
** Mega {{p|Scolipede}}'s lavender-colored armor is reminiscent of {{p|Whirlipede}}.
** Mega {{p|Eelektross}}'s arms are covered by mucus in the shape of {{p|Eelektrik}}, named "false Eelektrik".<ref>[https://legends.pokemon.com/en-us/story-world/pokemon/mega-eelektross Mega Eelektross | Pokémon Legends: Z-A]</ref>
** Mega {{p|Glimmora}}'s main body resembles {{p|Glimmet}}.
* In contrast to the other [[Paradox Pokémon]], {{p|Roaring Moon}} is based specifically on Mega {{p|Salamence}} rather than regular Salamence.
** Roaring Moon's [[Pokédex entry]] in [[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet|Pokémon Violet]] makes a reference to Mega Evolution. A copy of {{DL|Magazines in the Pokémon world|Occulture}} magazine in [[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet|Pokémon Scarlet]] continues the in-universe speculation with Roaring Moon and Mega Salamence; however, it says that it is unknown if there is any connection.
** An article on the English Press Website for [[The Pokémon Company International]] on Pokémon Legends: Z-A's March 2025 [[Nintendo Direct]] trailer accidentally labeled one of the files corresponding to Mega Salamence as "Roaring Moon". This was fixed later that day.<ref>[https://press.pokemon.com/en/releases/New-Pokemon-Legends-Z-A-Details-Revealed-During-Nintendo-Direct The Pokémon Company International Official Press Site: New Pokémon Legends: Z-A Details Revealed During Nintendo Direct] ([https://web.archive.org/web/20250327154906/https://press.pokemon.com/en/releases/New-Pokemon-Legends-Z-A-Details-Revealed-During-Nintendo-Direct archived])</ref>

===Core series===
* In the Pokémon X and Y demo, the message "''An immense new power has risen in Mewtwo!''" would be displayed before Mega Evolving. In the final game, the message displayed is "''<Pokémon>'s <Mega Stone> is reacting to <Trainer>'s <Key Stone item>!''" Additionally, Mega Mewtwo Y is referred to as simply Mega Mewtwo.
* The Japanese and Korean logos for {{g|X and Y}} include the Mega Evolution sigil.
* According to [[Ken Sugimori]] in his interview in the Nintendo Dream magazine, {{p|Flygon}} was intended to get a Mega Evolution in Pokémon X and Y, but the [[List of unused Pokémon and character designs#Pokémon designs|idea was later dropped]] due to him experiencing an artist's block.<ref>[https://www.pokebeach.com/2015/04/mega-flygon-excluded-from-xyoras-because-of-artists-block Mega Flygon Excluded from XY/ORAS Because of Artist's Block | PokeBeach], translation of Nintendo Dream interview scan</ref>
* Mega {{p|Latias}} and Mega {{p|Latios}} are programmed into Pokémon X and Y; as a result, they are not banned by the Kalos rules from battles, and their Mega Stones are not banned from trades between Omega Ruby or Alpha Sapphire and X or Y, despite being otherwise unavailable in those games.
* At least one Mega Evolution of every type was introduced in each core series game that introduced new Mega Evolutions, with the exception of the {{t|Electric}} type in {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}.
** If counted on its own, the [[Mega Dimension]] [[Downloadable content|DLC]] for {{g|Legends: Z-A}} also did not introduce a Mega Evolution of each type, with no new Mega-Evolved Pokémon being {{t|Normal}} type. However, counting {{p|Staraptor}} (who loses its {{type|Normal}} typing upon Mega Evolving) at least one Pokémon of every type is given a new Mega Evolution.
* Due to Mega Evolution being absent from {{g|Sword and Shield}} through {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}, the status of some {{Abilities}} was affected:
** {{a|Aerilate}}, Parental Bond, and Delta Stream became unusable despite existing in the game data.
** {{a|Refrigerate}}, {{a|Mega Launcher}}, and {{a|Pixilate}} became the current signature Ability of {{p|Amaura}}'s evolutionary line, {{p|Clauncher}}'s evolutionary line, and {{p|Sylveon}}, respectively.

====Base stats====
* In regards to their [[base stat]]s:
** No Mega-Evolved Pokémon receives an increase to its HP stat.
** Mega Zygarde has the highest base HP of any Mega-Evolved Pokémon, at 216.
** Mega Mewtwo X has the highest base Attack of all Pokémon, at 190.
** Mega {{p|Aggron}} and Mega {{p|Steelix}} are tied with {{p|Shuckle}} as having the highest base Defense stat of all obtainable Pokémon, at 230.
** Mega Zygarde has the highest base Sp. Attack of any Mega-Evolved Pokémon, at 216.
*** Mega Zygarde has the highest base stat increase of all Mega Evolutions, with its Sp. Attack stat being boosted by 125.
** Mega {{p|Dragalge}} has the highest base Sp. Defense stat of any Mega-Evolved Pokémon, at 163.
** Mega {{p|Zeraora}} has the highest base Speed stat of any Mega-Evolved Pokémon, at 153.
** All Z Mega-Evolved Pokémon share a similar base Speed stat, at 151.
** Mega {{p|Sableye}} and Mega {{p|Mawile}} share the lowest base stat total of any Mega-Evolved Pokémon, at 480.
** Mega {{p|Starmie}} has the highest base stat total of any non-{{pkmn2|Legendary}}, non-{{pkmn2|Mythical}}, and non-{{pkmn2|pseudo-legendary}} Mega Evolution, at 660.
** Both of Mewtwo's Mega Evolutions and Mega Rayquaza have a {{cat|Pokémon with a base stat total of 780|base stat total of 780}}, which is the highest of any obtainable Pokémon, surpassed only by [[Eternamax]] {{p|Eternatus}}, which cannot be used by the player, at 1125.
* Several Pokémon have some of their base stats reduced upon Mega Evolving to increase others, those being:
** Mega {{p|Beedrill}}: 45 → 15 Special Attack
** Mega {{p|Dragonite}}: 134 → 124 Attack
** Mega Mewtwo Y: 90 → 70 Defense
** Mega Ampharos: 55 → 45 Speed
** Mega {{p|Heracross}}: 85 → 75 Speed
** Mega {{p|Skarmory}}: 140 → 110 Defense
** Mega Sableye: 50 → 20 Speed
** Mega {{p|Camerupt}}: 40 → 20 Speed
** Mega {{p|Garchomp}}: 102 → 92 Speed
** Mega Garchomp Z: 95 → 85 Defense
** Mega Lucario Z: 110 → 100 Attack
** Mega {{p|Abomasnow}}: 60 → 30 Speed
** Mega {{p|Heatran}}: 77 → 67 Speed

===Animated series===
* If not counting {{pkmn|movie}}s or the [[Mega Evolution Specials]], overall sixty-six Mega Evolutions have yet to appear in the {{pkmn|animated series}}.

** Mega Steelix, Mega Aggron, and Mega Kangaskhan made their animated series debut in {{aniseries|SM}}.

'''Groudon''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''グラードン''' ''Groudon'') is a {{type|Ground}} [[Legendary Pokémon]] introduced in [[Generation III]].

While it is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon, Groudon can undergo [[Primal Reversion]] and become '''Primal Groudon''' if it holds the [[Red Orb]].

Along with {{p|Kyogre}} and {{p|Rayquaza}}, Groudon is one of the [[super-ancient Pokémon]].

Groudon is the [[game mascot]] of {{game3|Ruby and Sapphire|Pokémon Ruby Version|s}} and its [[remake]], {{pkmn|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire|Pokémon Omega Ruby}}, appearing on the boxart of both games in its normal form and Primal state, respectively. In these games, as well as in {{g|Emerald Version}}, Groudon is sought by [[Team Magma]] as a major part of their plot to expand the world's landmass.

==Biology==
[[File:Stone Groudon.jpg|thumb|left|250px|Groudon encased in stone as it slumbers]]
Groudon is a massive, bipedal, {{wp|dinosaur}}-like {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} covered in red, segmented plates of thick, armor-like skin. It has a gray underside and large white spikes that run along the sides of its head, body, and tail. Groudon has four claws on each hand, four dozer-like blades on the end of its large tail, and three claws on each foot with gray markings under its feet. It also has blue stripes inside the seams of its armor plating which can only be seen when Groudon is glowing with power.

Groudon is believed to be the personification of the land itself, and is described in [[Myths and legends involving Legendary and Mythical Pokémon|legends and myths]] as a "maker of lands" who created the {{pkmn|world}}'s continents and expanded the landmasses by generating magma formations. It is also capable of {{a|Drought|summoning intense sunlight}} that can dispel rain clouds, evaporate water, and weaken {{type|Water}} [[move]]s; because of this, it was hailed as a savior for stopping terrible floods. As a [[super-ancient Pokémon]], Groudon is one of the longest-lived species, thought to have lived for thousands of years. It can walk on water by using magma to form a path beneath its feet. Though normally a calm and helpful Pokémon, in olden times, it encountered its rival, {{p|Kyogre}}, and for years, the two engaged in a cataclysmic {{pkmn|battle}} for dominion of the world. They were stopped by the intervention of {{p|Rayquaza}},<ref>[[Wallace]]: ''"Somewhere, there is a [[super-ancient Pokémon]] named {{p|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 {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} 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 Reversion|Primal]] Pokémon, and peace returned to the {{pkmn|world}}."'' ({{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}})</ref> who sealed Groudon within [[Seafloor Cavern]]{{sup/3|RS}}{{sup/6|ORAS}}<ref>[[Steven Stone]]: ''"The super-ancient Pokémon that has been sealed deep beneath [[Hoenn Route 128|Route 128]] since ancient times... It slept until now in the [[Seafloor Cavern]]. The entrance to that cavern was sealed by the power of a certain Pokémon, all in an effort to keep any human or Pokémon from ever breaching it."'' ({{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}})</ref>/under [[Mt. Chimney]]{{sup/3|E}}, where it has since slumbered underneath the magma. During its sleep, its body is encased in a layer of rock that will be shattered once it is awakened by the [[Red Orb|Red]] or [[Blue Orb]]. It loves [[Groudon Treat]]s made by [[Snacksworth]], who once encountered it in the past. As seen in [[Hyperspace Desolate Land]], Groudon's subconcious takes the appearance of the [[Cave of Origin]].

Groudon is the [[signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Precipice Blades}}. Prior to [[Generation V]], {{a|Drought}} was its [[signature Ability]].
{{left clear}}
===Forms===
Groudon can undergo [[Primal Reversion]] and become Primal Groudon. Its appearance remains mostly the same, but it becomes larger and its skin color changes from dark red to deep crimson, with its underside, spikes, and teeth turning black. The blades on its tail are more separated from one another. The {{tt|Ω|Omega}} symbol can be seen on its arms, and its eyes, the inside of its mouth, and the enlarged openings between its armor plating glow bright yellow. Its irises are also red.

Primal Groudon is said to be Groudon's true, original, and fully powered form, having received its name from the ancient people of the [[Hoenn]] [[region]] who it tormented in the past.<ref>[http://www.pokemonrubysapphire.com/en-us/pokemon/legendary-pokemon/primal-groudon-and-primal-kyogre Primal Groudon and Primal Kyogre | Pokémon Omega Ruby and Pokémon Alpha Sapphire] ([https://web.archive.org/web/20150208024506/http://www.pokemonrubysapphire.com/en-us/pokemon/legendary-pokemon/primal-groudon-and-primal-kyogre archived])</ref> The energy that fills it pours forth as magma, and it burns with such an extreme temperature that its body is always shimmering with the haze of its heat.<ref name="Primal">[http://www.pokemonrubysapphire.com/en-us/pokemon/legendary-pokemon/primal-groudon Primal Groudon | Pokémon Omega Ruby and Pokémon Alpha Sapphire] ([https://web.archive.org/web/20150202062720/http://www.pokemonrubysapphire.com/en-us/pokemon/legendary-pokemon/primal-groudon archived])</ref> Primal Groudon and Primal Kyogre fought each other the natural energy that was abundant in the primal age millennia ago; one of their clashes lasted for 20 days straight and threatening to disrupt the planet's balance and destroy it before Rayquaza stopped them.<ref>[[Zinnia]]: ''"Thousands of years ago, in the primal age long lost, the world was overflowing with natural energy. Primal Groudon and Primal {{p|Kyogre}} fought over that energy in endless, furious clashes."'' ([[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire]])</ref><ref>[http://www.pokemonrubysapphire.com/en-us/pokemon/legendary-pokemon/the-legends-of-hoenn-continue The Legends of Hoenn Continue | Pokémon Omega Ruby and Pokémon Alpha Sapphire] ([https://web.archive.org/web/20150209222143/http://www.pokemonrubysapphire.com/en-us/pokemon/legendary-pokemon/the-legends-of-hoenn-continue archived])</ref> Research data from the [[Weather Institute]] indicates that Primal Groudon has the power to eliminate all life before initiating a reset of the planet.<ref>[[Archie]]: ''"Primal Groudon brings about an "end," all right. But you don't get to choose what end. It's gonna drive every living thing on this planet to its death! The only thing waiting for us is despair. A despair we can't even run from. A despair that's gonna crush [[human]]ity. You blasted fool... And it's all happening 'cause you were cocky enough to think you could control the [[super-ancient Pokémon]]'s power!"'' ([[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire|Pokémon Omega Ruby]])</ref> It was formed from the natural primal energy that existed in Hoenn's ancient past, which it has to feed on so it can maintain its transformation in the present day<ref>''"[[Project AZOTH|PROJECT AZOTH]] File No. 1 The goal of Project AZOTH is to return the {{pkmn|world}}—return everything—to the beginning. In order to further the project, we must proceed with research on Groudon's{{sup/6|OR}}/Kyogre's{{sup/6|AS}} Primal Reversion. Primal Reversion is a potential of {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} [[Evolution]], a potential different from [[Mega Evolution]]. Mega Evolution is made possible by the energy of people and Pokémon. Primal Reversion is made possible by natural energy. In Primal Reversion, Groudon{{sup/6|OR}}/Kyogre{{sup/6|AS}} absorbs natural energy into its body, thereby increasing its power dramatically. Both states significantly enhance Pokémon's power: the difference lies in the source of the required energy.''" ({{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}})</ref> after it was undone by [[Mega Evolution|Mega]] Rayquaza.<ref>[[Devon Corporation]] scientist: ''"We believe that, thanks to its mikado organ, Rayquaza can undergo its own Mega Evolution, manifesting sufficient power to repel both Primal Groudon and Primal Kyogre."'' ({{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}})</ref> Due to the lack of natural energy in the surface, it is forced to find either a source underground, such as the stones in the [[Cave of Origin]], or the Red Orb, which contains the remaining energy of the primordial world, allowing it to undergo Primal Reversion. With its [[weather]]-manipulating powers, Primal Groudon can cause magma to errupt and outright {{a|Desolate Land|nullify}} Water-type moves rather than simply weaken them. In the [[XY048|Mega Evolution Pokédex Short]], it is said to create new land with every step it takes.

Primal Groudon is the [[Signature Ability|only known Pokémon]] that can have {{a|Desolate Land}} as an [[Ability]].

==Game data==
===NPC appearances===
* {{g|Pinball: Ruby & Sapphire}}: Groudon is the focus of the second Bonus Field on the [[Ruby Field]]. It will throw rocks down from the ceiling to add obstacles to the field and create an {{m|eruption}} to surround itself in pillars of fire. The rocks take three hits to break while the fire pillars take four hits to break. During this time, Groudon will also throw fireballs at the [[Poké Ball]] to stall it further. The eruption does break any rocks still on the field. Groudon must be hit 15 times in three minutes to win. After beating the round twice, it will be captured.
* {{g|Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team}}: When the player completes the [[Mt. Freeze]] dungeon for the first time, after {{p|Ninetales}} is spoken to, an earthquake will happen. Ninetales says that Groudon has awakened, and will wreak havoc. [[Team A.C.T.]] will go off and try to stop Groudon, only to be defeated, so a new team, made up of {{p|Blastoise}}, {{p|Golem}}, and {{p|Octillery}}, is assembled. When they get defeated, the player's team has to go to [[Magma Cavern]] themselves and defeat Groudon.
* {{g|Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness}}: When the player visits [[Steam Cave]] for the first time, {{p|Uxie}} creates a fake Groudon, hoping that it would keep the player's team away from knowing [[Fogbound Lake]]'s existence in order to protect the [[Time Gear]] it has been guarding. After the credits, a real Groudon appears in [[Shimmer Desert]] as the guardian of the [[Seven Treasures|Terra Cymbal]].

===Form data===
====Primal Groudon====
Primal Groudon is an additional form for Groudon that is the result of undergoing [[Primal Reversion]]. If Groudon is sent into {{pkmn|battle}} while holding a [[Red Orb]], it will change into Primal Groudon; it only loses its form when the battle ends.

Primal Groudon is available in [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire|Pokémon Omega Ruby, Alpha Sapphire]], [[Pokémon Sun and Moon|Sun, Moon]], [[Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Ultra Sun, Ultra Moon]], and the [[Mega Dimension]] [[Downloadable content|DLC]] of {{g|Legends: Z-A}}. It was absent in [[Generation VIII]] and {{g|Scarlet and Violet}} along with [[Mega Evolution]].

In [[Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon]], Primal Groudon is not available to the player, with the form only being used in the fight against it. In [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Rescue Team DX]], it is accessed by using [[Empowerment Seed]] on Groudon inside a dungeon.

===Main series===
====Major appearances====
=====[[Meta Groudon]]=====
In ''[[M06|Jirachi: Wish Maker]]'', a former [[Team Magma]] scientist named [[Butler]], working as a magician at the [[Millennium Festival]], wished to use {{OBP|Jirachi|M06}} to bring forth a Groudon. However, what he ended up with was not a Groudon, but a manifestation of pure evil that simply had the appearance of a Groudon. At the end, Jirachi used {{m|Doom Desire}} to destroy Meta Groudon.

====={{DL|Kyogre and Groudon (Ruby and Sapphire series)|Groudon|Groudon (''Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire'')}}=====
Groudon made its physical animated series debut in ''[[AG097|Gaining Groudon]]''. [[Team Aqua]] had captured Groudon but did not have [[Blue Orb|the correct orb]] to control it, so they planned to make a trade with [[Team Magma]], who had captured Kyogre. The trade was about to be made when [[Archie]] decided to use Kyogre to destroy everyone, including his fellow henchmen. The {{pkmn|battle}} between Kyogre and Groudon occurred in ''[[AG098|The Scuffle of Legends]]''.

In the beginning of ''[[M18|Hoopa and the Clash of Ages]]'', a Groudon was summoned by {{an|Hoopa}} to defeat it in the past. A Primal Groudon was later one of six [[Legendary Pokémon]] summoned and hypnotized by the shadow {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Hoopa|Hoopa Unbound}} as its reinforcements. It and its teammates engaged in a battle against the {{p|Latios}}, {{p|Latias}}, and {{Shiny}} {{p|Rayquaza}} summoned to protect the real Hoopa in [[Dahara City]]. Eventually, after the shadow Hoopa was sealed in a [[Prison Bottle]], the hypnosis on Primal Groudon and the other Legendary Pokémon was lifted, and Primal Groudon departed for its home.

In ''[[PG07|The Vision]]'', [[Courtney]] had a vision in which a Primal Groudon destroyed a chain of islands before attacking [[Maxie]] and [[Tabitha]]. While she was puzzled by the vision's meaning, this ultimately did not deter her from carrying on Team Magma's plans.

===Pocket Monsters Platinum: Aim to Be Battle King!!===
Groudon appeared in [[PBK4]].

===Pokémon Adventures===
{{main|Super-ancient Pokémon (Adventures)#Groudon|Groudon (Adventures)}}
Groudon's first appearance was in ''[[PS214|Assaulted by Pelipper I]]''. Awakening Groudon was the main mission of [[Team Magma]], so they could expand the land. Groudon was finally awakened when Team Magma and [[Team Aqua]] formed a temporary truce to be able to go underwater. [[Wallace]], [[Brawly]], and [[Roxanne]] tried to stop the Pokémon's advance but failed due to the interventions of [[Blaise]], [[Courtney]], and [[Tabitha]]. Eventually, it reaches its destination: [[Sootopolis City]], to {{pkmn|battle}} {{p|Kyogre}}, which it did for days on end until {{adv|Ruby}}, with the aid of a reformed Courtney and his own, {{p|Rayquaza}}-controlling [[Norman|father]], managed to quell it. Afterwards, it cut its ties with Kyogre and went to resume its slumber at the bottom of [[Mt. Chimney]]. It is shown afterwards that this restored the volcanic activities that Team Aqua had earlier annulled. In the {{MangaArc|Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire}}, Blaise and {{adv|Amber}} tricked {{p|Hoopa}} into summoning Groudon and Kyogre from their resting places, with [[Maxie]] and [[Archie]] making them both undergo [[Primal Reversion]] so that they could help defend the planet from the [[Grand Meteor Delta|giant meteoroid]] that was due to impact it in several days.

==Other appearances==
[[File:Groudon SSBB.png|thumb|230px|Groudon in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]]]
===[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]===
Groudon is obtainable as a {{i|Poké Ball}} Pokémon. It uses {{m|Overheat}} to immolate itself in a fiery aura, causing anyone (except the summoner) who comes into contact with it to be knocked back and receive damage, similar to the attack of {{p|Moltres}}, though it lasts longer. Due to its tremendous size, it takes up a lot of the stage, making its attack almost inescapable. However, Groudon's attack is significantly weaker than Moltres', as it deals less knockback and damage, making it very hard to directly KO an opponent until they reach a very high damage percentage.

===={{sbw|Trophy}} information====
''"A Continent Pokémon. In ancient times, it brought down droughts to save people who had suffered from floods. It is normally found in the profound depths of the earth, where it slumbers in magma. With a mighty roar, it uses {{m|Earthquake}} to mow down enemies. In {{pkmn|battle}}, it {{a|Drought|summons sunlight to bathe the area}}. It once had an epic battle with {{p|Kyogre}}."''

===[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U|Super Smash Bros. for Wii U]]===
Groudon appears as a trophy.

====Trophy information====
'''NA''': ''Groudon is {{pkmn|category|called}} the Continent Pokémon, and that's not just because it lives on them. [[Myths and legends involving Legendary and Mythical Pokémon|Legend]] has it that Groudon actually created the continents. It has a rivalry with {{p|Kyogre}}, said to have created the oceans, and they apparently had an epic battle long ago. Perhaps our {{pkmn|world}} was born from this great battle between land and sea.''

'''PAL''': ''Groudon is called the Continent Pokémon, and that's not just because it lives on them. Legend has it that Groudon actually created the continents. It has a rivalry with Kyogre, said to have created the oceans, and they apparently had an epic battle long ago. Perhaps it was this battle of land and sea that created the world as we know it.''

===[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]===
Both Groudon and Primal Groudon appear as {{sbw|Spirits (characters)|Spirits}}.

==Trivia==
[[File:Terrell.png|thumb|175px|[[Terrell]]'s Groudon costume]]
[[File:Groudon Beta.jpg|thumb|175px|Early Groudon design]]
* Groudon's {{stat|Attack}} and {{stat|Special Attack}}, and {{stat|Defense}} and {{stat|Special Defense}} stats are the reverse of Kyogre's.
* Prior to {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, Groudon had a [[catch rate]] of 5.
* Groudon is the only pure {{type|Ground}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} to not have an [[evolutionar]]y relative.
* Groudon shares its {{pkmn|category}} name with {{p|Torterra}}. They are both known as the Continent Pokémon.
* Primal Groudon is the [[List of Pokémon by height|tallest]] {{type|Fire}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}.
* Primal Groudon is the [[List of Pokémon by weight|heaviest]] Ground-type and Fire-type Pokémon.
* Primal Groudon has the highest base {{stat|Attack}} stat, highest {{stat|Defense}} stat and base stat total of all Fire-type Pokémon.
* The [[Meta Groudon]] in ''[[M06|Jirachi: Wish Maker]]'' is [[Size discrepancies in the animated series|much taller]] than Groudon's game height of 11' 06", being as tall as the mountainous structures in [[Forina]]. When an actual Groudon later appeared in the animated series in ''[[AG097|Gaining Groudon]]'' and ''[[AG098|The Scuffle of Legends]]'', it was much closer to its correct size.
* On the DVD cover of ''Jirachi: Wish Maker'', a normal Groudon is depicted, despite the Groudon in the film not being an actual Groudon.
* In {{g|XD: Gale of Darkness}}, the character [[Chobin]] operates a [[Robo Groudon]] after the [[Michael|player]] defeats him for the third time.
* Although Groudon is gender unknown in the [[core series]] games, it is referred to as a male in {{g|Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness}}'s story; it is still gender unknown for purposes of gameplay.
* A Groudon [[Pokémon cosplay|costume]] is worn by [[Terrell]] in {{g|Battle Revolution}}.
* In its early design, Groudon's eyes were shaped differently, with the positioning of the spikes on its body being slightly different. Its head details became much more elongated in the final version, and the super-ancient Pokémon's signature body patterns are not present.
* When Groudon is caught in {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}, it will have the {{t|Fire}} [[Terastal phenomenon|Tera Type]].

===Origin===
Groudon may be modeled after the Earth's land and volcanoes and may be a personification of the land. Its conflict with Kyogre is similar to that of {{wp|Behemoth}} and {{wp|Leviathan}} of Hebrew legend, who at the end of time would start a battle that would kill them both. Like Groudon, Behemoth is associated with the land. However, while Behemoth is usually depicted as a {{wp|Phacochoerus|warthog}}/{{wp|hippopotamus}}-like creature, Groudon resembles a {{wp|Therapoda|therapod}} dinosaur, with spikes resembling various species of {{wp|Ankylosauria}}.

The patterns on Groudon and Primal Groudon's legs and arms appear similar to the last letter of Greek alphabet, {{wp|omega}}, which might signify the end of life, believed to happen with cataclysmic events such as volcano eruptions. It might also signify the opposition to {{p|Kyogre}}'s {{wp|alpha}}.

====Name origin====
Groudon may be a combination of ''ground'' and ''don'' (Spanish for lord) or ''-don'' (common suffix in dinosaur names derived from the Ancient Greek word for tooth). It may also involve 土 ''do'' (earth) or ドン ''don'' (onomatopoeia for booming or crashing sound).

'''Kyogre''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''カイオーガ''' ''Kyogre'') is a {{type|Water}} [[Legendary Pokémon]] introduced in [[Generation III]].

While it is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon, Kyogre can undergo [[Primal Reversion]] and become '''Primal Kyogre''' if it holds the [[Blue Orb]].

Along with {{p|Groudon}} and {{p|Rayquaza}}, Kyogre is one of the [[super-ancient Pokémon]].

Kyogre is the [[game mascot]] of {{game3|Ruby and Sapphire|Pokémon Sapphire Version|s}} and its [[remake]], {{pkmn|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire|Pokémon Alpha Sapphire}}, appearing on the boxart of both games in its normal form and Primal state, respectively. In these games, as well as in {{g|Emerald Version}}, Kyogre is sought by [[Team Aqua]] as a major part of their plot to expand the world's waters.

==Biology==
[[File:Stone Kyogre.jpg|thumb|left|250px|Kyogre encased in stone as it slumbers]]
Kyogre is a massive, {{wp|whale}}-like {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with two big pectoral fins, each with four white square-shaped nails. It has a deep blue body and a white chin area with two small spikes protruding under it. Above each eye are two white, oval-shaped spots. Kyogre has red stripes around its chin, eyes, dorsal fins, and torso. These stripes glow when Kyogre is brimming with power. The tail is tattered with four trailing parts, with the inner ones being smaller than the outer. Its eyes are small, yellow, and shadowed with black.

Kyogre is believed to be the personification of the sea itself, and is described in in [[Myths and legends involving Legendary and Mythical Pokémon|legends and myths]] as the "maker of oceans" who created the {{pkmn|world}}'s oceans and expanded them by generating heavy tidal waves. It is also capable of {{a|Drizzle|summoning intense rainstorms}} to cloak the world's entire sky and weaken {{type|Fire}} [[move]]s; because of this, it was hailed as a savior for quenching areas of the world plagued with droughts. As a [[super-ancient Pokémon]], it is one of the longest-lived species, thought to have lived for thousands of years. Kyogre can fly when there is no water for it to swim in. Though normally a calm and helpful Pokémon, in olden times, it encountered its rival, {{p|Groudon}}, and for years, the two engaged in a cataclysmic {{pkmn|battle}} for dominion of the world. They were stopped by the intervention of {{p|Rayquaza}},<ref>[[Wallace]]: ''"Somewhere, there is a [[super-ancient Pokémon]] named {{p|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 {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} 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 Reversion|Primal]] Pokémon, and peace returned to the {{pkmn|world}}."'' ({{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}})</ref> who sealed Kyogre within [[Seafloor Cavern]],<ref>[[Steven Stone]]: ''"The super-ancient Pokémon that has been sealed deep beneath [[Hoenn Route 128|Route 128]] since ancient times... It slept until now in the [[Seafloor Cavern]]. The entrance to that cavern was sealed by the power of a certain Pokémon, all in an effort to keep any [[human]] or Pokémon from ever breaching it."'' ({{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}})</ref> where it has since slumbered in the marine trench. During its sleep, Kyogre's body is encased in a layer of rock that will be shattered once it is awakened by the [[Red Orb|Red]] or [[Blue Orb]]. It loves [[Kyogre Treat]]s made by [[Snacksworth]], who once encountered it in the past. As seen with [[Hyperspace Primordial Sea]], Kyogre's subconcious takes the appearance of the [[Cave of Origin]].

Kyogre is the [[signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Origin Pulse}}. Prior to [[Generation V]], {{a|Drizzle}} was its [[signature Ability]].
{{left clear}}
===Forms===
Kyogre can undergo [[Primal Reversion]] and become Primal Kyogre. It retains its general body structure, but it grows larger and its main skin color becomes a darker shade of blue. The red markings along its body become light blue, and its eyes glow yellow with orange irises and orange-red pupils. The markings on its pectoral fins slightly change to form {{tt|α|Alpha}} symbols, which connect to its outer nails with red markings connecting the inner nails. Every part of its skin that was originally white becomes clear and translucent, with the large ovals on its head now connected to clear markings stretching from its tail to its forehead, where another {{tt|α|Alpha}} symbol is formed. The trailing parts of its tail grow longer and gain translucent webbing, and the areas between its pectoral fin markings also become clear. The translucent parts of its body reveal organ-like structures that glow with a mysterious light; it has a large "organ" at the center of its body, two smaller ones aligned with the large oval markings, and two more located in its pectoral fins.

Primal Kyogre is said to be Kyogre's true, original, and fully powered form, having received its name from the ancient people of the [[Hoenn]] [[region]] who it tormented in the past.<ref>[http://www.pokemonrubysapphire.com/en-us/pokemon/legendary-pokemon/primal-groudon-and-primal-kyogre Primal Groudon and Primal Kyogre | Pokémon Omega Ruby and Pokémon Alpha Sapphire] ([https://web.archive.org/web/20150208024506/http://www.pokemonrubysapphire.com/en-us/pokemon/legendary-pokemon/primal-groudon-and-primal-kyogre archived])</ref> The energy that fills it spills forth as seawater, which its body composition is nearly identical to, while its skin glows similarly to that of sapphire.<ref name="Mega">[http://www.pokemonrubysapphire.com/en-us/pokemon/legendary-pokemon/primal-kyogre Primal Kyogre | Pokémon Omega Ruby and Pokémon Alpha Sapphire] ([https://web.archive.org/web/20150202062721/http://www.pokemonrubysapphire.com/en-us/pokemon/legendary-pokemon/primal-kyogre archived])</ref> Primal Kyogre and Primal Groudon fought each other over the natural energy that was abundant in the primal age millennia ago; one of their clashes lasted for 20 days straight and threatening to disrupt the planet's balance and destroy it before Rayquaza stopped them.<ref>[[Zinnia]]: ''"Thousands of years ago, in the primal age long lost, the world was overflowing with natural energy.

([[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire|Pokémon Alpha Sapphire]])</ref> It was formed from the natural primal energy that existed in Hoenn's ancient past, which it has to feed on so it can maintain its transformation in the present day<ref>''"[[Project AZOTH|PROJECT AZOTH]] File No. 1 The goal of Project AZOTH is to return the {{pkmn|world}}—return everything—to the beginning. In order to further the project, we must proceed with research on Groudon's{{sup/6|OR}}/Kyogre's{{sup/6|AS}} Primal Reversion. Primal Reversion is a potential of {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} [[Evolution]], a potential different from [[Mega Evolution]]. Mega Evolution is made possible by the energy of people and Pokémon. Primal Reversion is made possible by natural energy. In Primal Reversion, Groudon{{sup/6|OR}}/Kyogre{{sup/6|AS}} absorbs natural energy into its body, thereby increasing its power dramatically. Both states significantly enhance Pokémon's power: the difference lies in the source of the required energy.''" ({{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}})</ref> after it was undone by [[Mega Evolution|Mega]] Rayquaza.<ref>[[Devon Corporation]] scientist: ''"We believe that, thanks to its mikado organ, Rayquaza can undergo its own Mega Evolution, manifesting sufficient power to repel both Primal Groudon and Primal Kyogre."'' ({{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}})</ref> Due to the lack of natural energy in the surface, it is forced to find either a source underground, such as the stones in the Cave of Origin, or the Blue Orb, which contains the remaining energy of the primordial world, allowing it to undergo Primal Reversion. With its [[weather]]-manipulating powers, Primal Kyogre can summon storms which drastically raise the sea level and outright {{a|Primordial Sea|nullify}} Fire-type moves rather than simply weaken them. In the [[XY049|Mega Evolution Pokédex Short]], it is said to have widened the seas by a large margin simply by taking a swim.

Primal Kyogre is the [[Signature Ability|only known Pokémon]] that can have {{a|Primordial Sea}} as an [[Ability]].

It will first use {{m|Sheer Cold}} to freeze the ball in place, then create {{m|whirlpool}}s to trap the ball further. Finally, it will {{m|dive}} into the water to evade being hit completely. However, air bubbles will appear where it is about to rise out of the water. Kyogre must be hit 15 times in three minutes to win. After beating the round twice, it will be captured.
* {{g|Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness}}: Kyogre is the guardian of the [[Seven Treasures|Aqua-Monica]].

===Form data===
====Primal Kyogre====
Primal Kyogre is an additional form for Kyogre that is the result of undergoing [[Primal Reversion]]. If Kyogre is sent into {{pkmn|battle}} while holding a [[Blue Orb]], it will change into Primal Kyogre; it only loses its form when the battle ends.

Primal Kyogre is available in [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire|Pokémon Omega Ruby, Alpha Sapphire]], [[Pokémon Sun and Moon|Sun, Moon]], [[Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Ultra Sun, Ultra Moon]], and the [[Mega Dimension]] [[Downloadable content|DLC]] of {{g|Legends: Z-A}}. It was absent in [[Generation VIII]] and {{g|Scarlet and Violet}} along with [[Mega Evolution]].

In [[Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon]], Primal Kyogre is not available to the player, with the form only being used in the fight against it. In [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Rescue Team DX]], it is accessed by using [[Empowerment Seed]] on Kyogre inside a dungeon.

===Main series===
====Major appearances====
====={{DL|Kyogre and Groudon (Ruby and Sapphire series)|Kyogre|Kyogre (''Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire'')}}=====
Kyogre made its physical animated series debut in ''[[AG097|Gaining Groudon]]''. [[Team Magma]] had captured Kyogre but didn't have [[Red Orb|the correct orb]] to control it, so they planned to make a trade with [[Team Aqua]], who had captured Groudon. The trade was about to be made when [[Archie]] decided to use Kyogre to destroy everyone, including his fellow henchmen. In ''[[AG098|The Scuffle of Legends]]'', the {{pkmn|battle}} between Kyogre and Groudon occurred.

====={{DL|Super-ancient Pokémon (XY series)|Kyogre|Kyogre (''Pokémon the Series: XY'')}}=====
In ''[[XYS02|Mega Evolution Special II]]'', a Kyogre was awakened by the presence of the [[Giant Rock]]. In ''[[XYS03|Mega Evolution Special III]]'', it was shown in its [[Primal Reversion|primal state]], fighting with Primal {{DL|Super-ancient Pokémon (XY series)|Groudon}} over the Giant Rock.

=====Other=====
In ''[[M09|Pokémon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea]]'', a Kyogre was among countless other {{type|Water}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that arrived at [[Samiya]] when [[Ash Ketchum]] replaced all of the [[Sea Crown]]'s crystals. However, when [[the Phantom]] attempted to make all the Water-types panic using supersonic waves from his ship, Kyogre was part of the ensuing commotion. {{OBP|Manaphy|M09}} calmed them down using {{m|Heart Swap}} to rid the Pokémon of their confusion, and some {{p|Wailord}} broke open the Phantom's ship, followed by some {{p|Chinchou}} swimming into the opening and short-circuiting the ship. Kyogre then used {{m|Hyper Beam}} on the ship, destroying it.

In the beginning scene of ''[[M18|Hoopa and the Clash of Ages]]'', a Kyogre was summoned by {{an|Hoopa}} to defeat it in the past. A Primal Kyogre was later one of six [[Legendary Pokémon]] summoned and hypnotized by the shadow {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Hoopa|Hoopa Unbound}} as its reinforcements. It and its teammates engaged in a battle against the {{p|Latios}}, {{p|Latias}}, and {{Shiny}} {{p|Rayquaza}} summoned to protect the real Hoopa in [[Dahara City]]. Eventually, after the shadow Hoopa was sealed in a [[Prison Bottle]], the hypnosis on Primal Kyogre and the other Legendary Pokémon was lifted, and Primal Kyogre departed for its home.

In ''[[SM120|The One That Didn't Get Away!]]'', a Kyogre had been {{status|poison}}ed and was being pursued by [[Hunter D]] and [[Hunter D's crew members|his crew members]]. However, {{an|Lana}} was able to feed it some bait laced with [[Antidote]], restoring its health and allowing it to defeat the hunter. However, Kyogre was still enraged because of the hunters' actions, forcing Lana to reel it in with her [[fishing|fishing rod]] and have her newly evolved {{TP|Lana|Primarina}} sing to it in order to calm it down. After Lana calmed Kyogre down, it thanked her for restoring its health and calming it down before leaving peacefully.

====Minor appearances====

====Trophy information====
'''NA''': ''This {{type|Water}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} roughly resembles an orca whale, though its large fins also look a bit like hands. Be wary of its Hydro Pump attack, which is capable of sending you flying off the stage. Even worse, it will chase after you, making it even harder to recover from the attack.''

'''PAL''': ''This orca-like Water-type Pokémon is known for the distinctive shape of its fins and the red markings along its body. It will use Hydro Pump to send fighters flying off the stage, and then proceed to chase after them to make recovering from the attack a nightmare.''

===[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]===
Kyogre returns as a Poké Ball summon, retaining its behavior from past games. It, along with Primal Kyogre, also appear as {{sbw|Spirits (characters)|Spirits}}.

==Trivia==
[[File:Marina.png|thumb|175px|{{OBP|Marina|Battle Revolution}}'s Kyogre costume]]
* Kyogre's {{stat|Special Attack}} and {{stat|Attack}}, and {{stat|Special Defense}} and {{stat|Defense}} stats are the reverse of Groudon's.
* Prior to {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, Kyogre had a catch rate of 5.
* [[Spenser]] has a staff with Kyogre's markings on it.
* [[Primal Reversion|Primal]] Kyogre has the highest base {{stat|Special Attack}} stat, base {{stat|Special Defense}} stat, and base stat total of all {{type|Water}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}.
* In {{g|Battle Revolution}}, {{OBP|Marina|Battle Revolution}} has a [[Pokémon cosplay|costume]] based on Kyogre.
* In {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, a Kyogre that knows {{m|Surf}} will allow the {{player}} to surf more quickly than with other {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} (except for {{p|Sharpedo}}). This action has its own animation and larger hitbox.
** Additionally, a Kyogre that knows {{m|Dive}} will allow the player to avoid underwater battles with [[Pokémon Trainer]]s. This action also has its own animation and a larger hitbox.

===Origin===
Kyogre may be a personification of the Earth's oceans. Its conflict with Groudon is similar to that of {{wp|Leviathan}} and {{wp|Behemoth}}, who would start a battle that would kill them both at the end of time. Like Kyogre, Leviathan is associated with the sea, and the Hebrew word for Leviathan is now used for whales in Modern Hebrew, which may be why Kyogre's appearance also draws inspiration from {{wp|cetacean}}s, primarily {{wp|toothed whale}}s. However, Leviathan does not resemble Kyogre in traditional depictions.

The patterns on Kyogre and Primal Kyogre's fins appear similar to the first letter of Greek alphabet, {{wp|alpha}}, which might signify the origin of life, believed to have started in the oceans. It might also signify the opposition to {{p|Groudon}}'s {{wp|omega}}.

====Name origin====
Kyogre is a combination of 海 ''kai'' (sea) or 海王 ''kaiō'' (king of the sea) and ''{{wp|ogre}}''.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DSpN7TDmmm4 Interview] with [[Nob Ogasawara]] by [[TheSpeedGamers]].</ref> It may also involve ''{{wp|orca}}'' (killer whale).

'''Inkay''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''マーイーカ''' ''Maaiika'') is a dual-type {{2t|Dark|Psychic}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation VI]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Malamar}} starting at [[level]] 30 when leveled up while the game system is held upside-down. When playing on the [[Nintendo Switch]] or [[Nintendo Switch 2]], the Joy-Con controllers have to be attached to the console upside-down.

==Biology==
Inkay is a blue, amphibious, squid-like {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. It has a transparent {{wp|Mantle (mollusc)|mantle}} with a rounded, pink body inside that has several yellow, circular spots that can glow brightly. There are four of these luminescent spots on the front and two on the back. Attached to its mantle are two transparent tentacles; its remaining tentacles are part of its main body, eight in total. It has round black eyes and a pink {{wp|cephalopod beak|beak-like}} mouth. As depicted in the anime, Inkay can spray ink from its mouth for offensive purposes.

Inkay can cause its luminescent spots to blink and flash; this behavior serves a variety of uses. If Inkay is threatened, the blinking lights will cause its opponents to become dazed and lose their will to battle, allowing it to escape. The blinking also serves to attract Inkay's prey, which is then ensnared and held in place by its tentacles. Inkay also uses various complex rhythms and patterns of lights to communicate to others of its kind. Because of this, Inkay instinctively reacts to anything in its habitat that emits light or echoing sounds. By floating upside-down, Inkay improves its blood flow along with clearing its head. This also drastically boosts the power of Inkay's {{t|Psychic}} moves and is what triggers its [[Evolution]] into {{p|Malamar}}.

Prior to [[Generation VIII]] and in [[Generation IX]], Inkay and its evolved form, Malamar, are the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Topsy-Turvy}}.

===Evolution===
Inkay evolves into {{p|Malamar}}.

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

==In animation==
[[File:James Inkay.png|thumb|250px|Inkay in {{aniseries|XY}}]]
===Major appearances===
====[[James's Inkay]]====
An Inkay appeared in ''[[XY003|A Battle of Aerial Mobility!]]'', which [[James]] {{pkmn2|caught}} while he was eating sandwiches. When James traveled to [[Alola]] in ''[[SM003|Loading the Dex!]]'', Inkay was revealed to have been left at {{an|Team Rocket HQ}}. Inkay returned to James's party in ''[[JN145|Rocket Revengers!]]''.

====Other====
Multiple {{pkmn2|wild}} Inkay appeared in ''[[XY054|Facing the Grand Design!]]'', where [[James's Inkay]] helped save them, as well as some good Malamar, from the evil {{an|Malamar}}. James tried to release Inkay afterwards so Inkay could be happy with the other Inkay, but Inkay refused and rejoined his team.

===Minor appearances===
A Trainer's Inkay appeared in [[HZ112]].

==In the manga==
[[File:Xerosic Inkay Adventures.png|thumb|200px|Inkay in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
===Pocket Monsters XY: The Legend of the Pokémon Dragon King===
[[Kanna]] owns an Inkay, as seen in [[LDK1]].

===Pokémon Adventures===
Inkay debuted in ''[[PS554|Kangaskhan...Kangascan't]]'', under the ownership of a male {{tc|Poké Fan}}.

[[Xerosic]]'s {{p|Malamar}} was revealed to have been under his ownership since he was an Inkay. He evolved when [[Lysandre]] explained his peculiar Evolution method and demonstrated it by turning Inkay upside-down, making him evolve instantly. He showed up in a flashback in ''[[PS588|Chesnaught Protects]]''.

==In the TCG==
{{main|Inkay (TCG)}}
==Other appearances==
===[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U]]===
[[File:Inkay_3DS_trophy_SSB4.png|thumb|150px|Inkay trophy in ''Super Smash Bros. for 3DS'']]
Inkay appears as a {{i|Poké Ball}} summon in both versions of the game. It {{m|Topsy-Turvy|turns over}} and hits the ground, making all opponents who are on the ground trip.

Inkay also appears as a trophy in both versions of the game.

====Trophy information====
'''NA''': ''Inkay may look like a Water-type Pokémon, but it's actually a Dark/Psychic type! Once it has reached the proper level, Inkay can evolve into Malamar if you hold the Nintendo 3DS upside down. In Smash Bros., its Topsy-Turvy move will flip anyone who wanders too close upside down. Watch out! ''

'''PAL''': ''A Pokémon that looks this much like a squid MUST be a Water-type, right? Wrong! It's a Dark- and Psychic-type. If you're struggling to get it to evolve, try holding your system upside down. In this game, Inkay's Topsy-Turvy move can knock you over, and you won't be much use like that, so watch out! ''

===[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]===
Inkay returns as a Pokémon summoned from the Poké Ball, retaining the same behavior from the previous game. Inkay also appears as a {{sbw|Spirit}}.

==Trivia==
* [[Shigeru Ohmori]] came up with Inkay's method of [[Evolution]] into {{p|Malamar}}. He suggested the method as the development team were thinking of ways to utilize the internal {{wp|gyroscope}} on the [[Nintendo 3DS]].<ref name=GameXplain>"[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5pXW8v3EFTs Pokémon Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire Developer Interview - Junichi Masuda & Shigeru Ohmori]." GameXplain. ''YouTube.''</ref> He also thought of the idea of a player discovering it on accident by turning their console to be amusing.<ref>[https://youtu.be/vB8EskmscKg?t=283 Junichi Masuda and Shigeru Ohmori Sun and Moon Interview]</ref>
** In addition to Inkay's evolutionary method being unique, it would have been impossible in any of the previous [[core series]] [[Pokémon games]], because the Nintendo 3DS is Nintendo's first handheld system with an internal gyroscope.
** Inkay is one of Ohmori's favorite Pokémon from {{g|X and Y}}.<ref name=GameXplain/>
* Inkay and its Evolution are the only Pokémon to have {{a|Contrary}} as a standard [[Ability]] instead of a [[Hidden Ability]].
* Inkay is the only {{type|Dark}} or {{type|Psychic}} Pokémon {{DL|List of Pokémon by shape|Pokémon with tentacles or a multiped body|with tentacles}}.

===Concept and development===
Inkay and its Evolution were designed by [[Hitoshi Ariga]].<ref>[http://hitoshiariga.deviantart.com/art/Pocket-Monsters-XY-413536751 Pocket Monsters XY by HitoshiAriga on deviantART]</ref>

===Origin===
Inkay appears to be based on a {{wp|squid}}, and it also seems to bear a small resemblance to a {{wp|cuttlefish}}. Considering its flashing abilities, Inkay may have been inspired by the {{wp|vampire squid|vampire}} or {{wp|humboldt squid}}s, or by {{wp|Deimatic behaviour#In cephalopods|deimatic behaviour}} in cephalopods as a whole.

Additionally, Inkay's physical appearance and its use of hypnosis to forcefully control others may be inspired by a stereotypical extraterrestrial supervillain, a fairly common trope in {{wp|tokusatsu}} shows.

====Name origin====
Inkay may be a combination of ''ink'', ''inky'' or ''{{wp|Cephalopod|inkfish}}'' and ''okay''.

Maaiika is derived from 烏賊 ''ika'' (cuttlefish or squid) and a pun on まあ，いいか ''Mā, iika'' ("Well, whatever"; "Oh well").<ref>Horan, Chiaki; Pettas, Nicholas (hosts) (October 15, 2013). "Pokémon X and Pokémon Y". ''Imagine-nation''. NHK World.</ref> It may also involve 魔 ''ma'' (demon) or 真烏賊 ''maika'' ({{wp|Japanese flying squid}}).

'''Chingling''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese:]] '''リーシャン ''' ''Lisyan'') is a {{type|Psychic}} [[baby Pokémon]] introduced in [[Generation IV]].

It [[Evolution|evolve]]s into {{p|Chimecho}} when [[friendship Evolution|leveled up with high friendship]] during the [[Time-based Evolution|night]].

==Biology==
Chingling is a yellow, spherical {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} similar to a jingle bell. It has stubby arms and legs, as well as beady, black eyes. There are black circular openings on both sides of its mouth. Atop its body is a short yellow ring-like growth with a striped rope through the middle. The rope resembles a scarf, and is red-and-white with short tassels on the ends.

Inside its mouth is a red orb, which creates a ringing sound as the Pokémon moves. Additionally, the orb can be vibrated to create high-frequency, long-lasting cries to deafen its opponents. The sounds produced can be too high for people to hear, yet powerful enough to give them headaches.

===Evolution===
Chingling evolves into {{p|Chimecho}}.

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

==In animation==
[[File:Chingling anime.png|thumb|250px|Chingling in {{aniseries|PTS}}]]
===Major appearances===
Three Chingling made their animated series debut in ''[[DP070|The Bells Are Singing!]]'', under the ownership of [[Francesca]].

====Name origin====
Chingling may be a combination of ''chime'', ''[[wiktionary:jingling|jingling]]'', and ''-ling'' (common suffix to denote something that is small or immature).

Lisyan may be a combination of 鈴 ''rin'' (bell), りんりん ''rinrin'' (onomatopoeia for bell chiming), and しゃんしゃん ''shanshan'' (onomatopoeia for bell ringing).

'''Drampa''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ジジーロン''' ''Jijilong'') is a dual-type {{2t|Normal|Dragon}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation VII]].

Drampa is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] from any other Pokémon. While it cannot evolve further into any other Pokémon, Drampa can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into '''Mega Drampa''' using the [[Drampanite]]. Mega Drampa was introduced in [[Pokémon Legends: Z-A]].

==Biology==
Drampa is a serpentine {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} similar to a {{wp|Chinese dragon}}. Most of its skin is bluish-green, but the lower half of its face and the underside of its neck is a pale green. There are three spots on each of its sides that are also light green. It has pink eyes with rounded, yellow eyebrows, short whiskers resembling a mustache, floppy ears, and a small, white beard with a circular extension. On top of its head is a mop of white hair split into four rounded sections: two draped down either side of its head. Fluffy white fur drapes the lower half of its body and conceals its arms when they are tucked against its chest. When its arms are spread, two short claws are revealed on each hand. It has a bushy white tail with a small, curved spike at the base.

This draconic Pokémon lives alone in the mountains 10,000 feet above sea level. The {{Berries}} it feeds on do not grow at this altitude, so it descends to the base of the mountains daily at dawn. Drampa is known to have a kind and compassionate personality. It loves communicating with people and Pokémon, and is especially gentle with children. It often appears in places where children gather, such as schools and parks. Mothers of the children never worry about Drampa playing with them, as Drampa is willing to protect children from any form of danger. Despite its gentle nature, it becomes enraged if a child it cares for is hurt, and can go as far as to burn the bully's house down if able.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20171021235955mp_/http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon/drampa/ Pokémon Sun and Moon site | Drampa]</ref>Drampa is known to stir up a gale of wind when angered, while flattening anything that gets in its way as Drampa rampages. During its rampage, Drampa's {{m|Dragon Breath}} attack is strong enough to demolish buildings. As seen in the {{aniseries|SM}} episode ''[[SM059|Tasting the Bitter with the Sweet!]]'' and [[New Pokémon Snap]], Drampa is capable of flying.

Prior to [[Generation VIII]], Drampa was the [[Signature Ability|only known Pokémon]] that could have {{a|Berserk}} as an [[Ability]].

===Forms===
Drampa can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into Mega Drampa.
[[File:Mega Drampa fur rising.jpg|200px|thumb|left|Mega Drampa's eyes glow, and its fur rises when it is enraged or attacking.]]
As Mega Drampa, Drampa regains its youthful vigor, holding its long neck high above its body. Its white fur turns dark grey and becomes spikier. It now holds its claws out of its front fur, these claws are light grey and there are three per hand. At the back of its fur-covered body are swirling, lighter grey curls. Mega Drampa's expression turns angry and its beard elongates, turning the same shade of dark grey as its fur. It additionally gains two additional mustaches shaped like inverted horseshoe mustaches. Mega Drampa's hair perks into four curled spikes. When its mouth is open, Mega Drampa has four visible fangs.

Mega Drampa's cells are reinvigorated, reactivating its youth. It can manipulate the atmosphere to summon storms. Mega Drampa is constantly floating off the ground.

==Trivia==
* Drampa can be seen as a counterpart to {{p|Turtonator}}. Both are {{type|Dragon}} Pokémon with the same base stat total. They also share the same stat values, but with different distributions aside from {{stat|Speed}}. While Drampa is exclusive to [[Pokémon Sun and Moon|Moon]], [[Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Ultra Moon]], and [[Pokémon Sword and Shield|Shield]], Turtonator is exclusive to Pokémon Sun, Ultra Sun, and Sword.
**These parallels were lessened, however, when Drampa received a [[Mega Evolution]] in Pokémon Legends: Z-A, while Turtonator does is absent from the game and did not receive any such additional form.
* Drampa was designed by [[Hitoshi Ariga]].<ref>[https://twitter.com/ariga_megamix/status/804500572967555072 Tweet by ありがひとし/ArigaHitoshi (@ariga_megamix).] Posted on December 2, 2016.</ref>
* Mega Drampa has the highest base {{stat|Special Attack}} stat of all {{type|Normal}} Pokémon.
* Drampa is the first Pokémon introduced in [[Generation VII]] that is capable of [[Mega Evolution]].
* Drampa and {{p|Feraligatr}} are the only Pokémon to have different [[Pokémon category|categories]] after Mega Evolving.

===Origin===
Drampa appears to be based on a {{wp|Chinese dragon}}, such as the {{wp|Zhulong (mythology)|Zhulong}} (torch dragon), a mythological creature with the face of an old man and the body of a {{wp|dragon}}. Its friendly and caring disposition towards children, elderly appearance, and name may be a reference to grandparents. Its behavior may also be based on Chinese dragons being benevolent creatures. Drampa's white fur resembles {{wp|cumulus cloud}}s.

Mega Drampa's fur becoming black resembles {{wp|cumulonimbus cloud|storm clouds}}, alluding to its capacity to summon them. This ability is typical of Chinese dragons, most specifically of {{wp|Shenlong}} (god dragon), who is called a master of rain. Mega Drampa's youth being restored may be a reference to {{wp|atavism}}.

====Name origin====
Drampa may be a combination of ''dragon'' and ''grampa'' (a variation on ''grandpa'').

Jijilong may be a combination of 爺 ''jijī'' (an informal term for an old man) and 龍 ''Lóng'' ({{wp|Chinese dragon}}).

'''Chimecho''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''チリーン''' ''Chirean'') is a {{type|Psychic}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation III]].

It [[Evolution|evolve]]s from {{p|Chingling}} when [[friendship Evolution|leveled up with high friendship]] during the [[Time-based Evolution|night]].

Chimecho can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into '''Mega Chimecho''' using the [[Chimechite]]. Mega Chimecho was introduced in the [[Mega Dimension]] DLC for {{g|Legends: Z-A}}.

==Biology==
Chimecho is a small, round {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with a mainly bluish-white body shaped like a fūrin {{wp|wind chime}}. It has beady, yellow eyes and three stubby limbs — two on its sides and one on its back. Its body has a horizontal {{wp|Amaranth (color)|amaranth}}-colored pattern. Underneath its body extends a long, tag-like tail that has amaranth patterning at the bottom. A yellow, globular growth, referred to as a ''suction cup'' or a ''sucker'', is connected to the top of its body, which it uses to hang from a tree branch or the eaves of a building.

Chimecho's body is hollow and allows sounds to echo inside. By amplifying the faint sound of wind inside its body, Chimecho can create ultrasonic sound waves and other noises, allowing it to startle and repel opponents. It uses seven different echoing cries to communicate with others. An omnivorous species, it eats Berries that it plucks with its tail and can knock out large prey using powerful waves of air. Chimecho is nocturnal and usually lives in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Grassland Pokémon|grasslands}} and woods, but some are found in mountainous regions. It flies by riding on winds and becomes more active during hot seasons.

===Forms===
[[File:Mega Chimecho Sound Attack.png|left|thumb|Mega Chimecho using its sonic attacks]]
Chimecho can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into Mega Chimecho.

As Mega Chimecho, its suction cup expands in size and forms a {{p|Chingling}}-styled ornament behind it, consisting of its familiar golden color along with the accompanying large red and white tassels. Six smaller Chimecho-styled ornaments line the Chingling ornament's arms and cheeks. Starting from the outward ornaments, they are colored amaranth, blue, and green, though with a connecting cheek pattern and a more polygonal pattern on each tail.

Mega Chimecho's cries have a bright and refreshing tone that soothes the hearts of Trainers who hear them. These cries calm the souls of listeners and are said to have a cleansing power that wards off and purifies evil spirits.<ref>[https://legends.pokemon.com/en-us/dlc | Mega Chimecho]</ref> Mega Chimecho can unleash powerful sound waves to disrupt its opponents' minds and break their spirits. Those hit by the attack will feel detached from reality and experience memory loss, sometimes losing track of what they were doing or who they are. Even if an opponent manages to win in this state, the sound of shattering, reverberating glass that resonates when Mega Chimecho falls will leave them in a state of shock despite their victory. The smaller copies of Mega Chimecho flutter endlessly, even when no wind is blowing. When Mega Chimecho cries, its copies join in and resonate with it. These echoes overlap and reverberate to create an intense sound-wave attack that can overwhelm any opponent.<ref>[https://legends.pokemon.com/en-us/dlc Mega Dimension]</ref><ref>[https://www.pokemon.co.jp/ex/legends_z-a_dlc/ja/pokemon/251106_01/</ Mega Dimension DLC]</ref>

==Trivia==
* Chimecho is the very last Pokémon by {{DL|List of Pokémon by index number (GBA)|index number}} in the [[Generation III]] games (excluding glitch Pokémon and {{p|Unown}} forms), except in {{g|XD: Gale of Darkness}}, where this trait belongs to {{p|Munchlax}}.

===Origin===
Chimecho appears to be based on Japanese glass wind bells known as ''{{wp|wind chime#Eastern and Southern Asia|fūrin}}'', which are hung around {{wp|Shinto shrine}}s to predict disasters and ward off evil spirits. Its red and white coloration is reminiscent of the dresses worn by {{wp|miko}}.

Mega Chimecho may be based on the {{wp|Khakkhara|khakkhara or shakujo}} staffs used by {{wp|Buddhism|Buddhist}} monks. They are topped by golden rings and the sounds of the rings shaking ward off animals, reflecting how Mega Chimecho's echoes create overlapping sounds. Mega Chimecho possesses the shape and scarf of a {{p|Chingling}}, referencing {{wp|atavism}}.

Chimecho’s seven cries, and the seven Chimecho on Mega Chimecho, may reference how the number seven signifies luck, good fortune, and spirituality in {{wp|Shinto}} and {{wp|Buddhism|Buddhist}} culture.

====Name origin====
Chimecho may be a combination of ''chime'' and ''echo''.

Chirean may be a combination of ちりんちりん ''chirinchirin'' (the sound of a bell chiming) and 風鈴 ''fūrin'' (wind chime).

'''Chimecho''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''チリーン''' ''Chirean'') is a {{type|Psychic}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation III]].

It [[Evolution|evolve]]s from {{p|Chingling}} when [[friendship Evolution|leveled up with high friendship]] during the [[Time-based Evolution|night]].

Chimecho can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into '''Mega Chimecho''' using the [[Chimechite]]. Mega Chimecho was introduced in the [[Mega Dimension]] DLC for {{g|Legends: Z-A}}.

==Biology==
Chimecho is a small, round {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with a mainly bluish-white body shaped like a fūrin {{wp|wind chime}}. It has beady, yellow eyes and three stubby limbs — two on its sides and one on its back. Its body has a horizontal {{wp|Amaranth (color)|amaranth}}-colored pattern. Underneath its body extends a long, tag-like tail that has amaranth patterning at the bottom. A yellow, globular growth, referred to as a ''suction cup'' or a ''sucker'', is connected to the top of its body, which it uses to hang from a tree branch or the eaves of a building.

Chimecho's body is hollow and allows sounds to echo inside. By amplifying the faint sound of wind inside its body, Chimecho can create ultrasonic sound waves and other noises, allowing it to startle and repel opponents. It uses seven different echoing cries to communicate with others. An omnivorous species, it eats Berries that it plucks with its tail and can knock out large prey using powerful waves of air. Chimecho is nocturnal and usually lives in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Grassland Pokémon|grasslands}} and woods, but some are found in mountainous regions. It flies by riding on winds and becomes more active during hot seasons.

===Forms===
[[File:Mega Chimecho Sound Attack.png|left|thumb|Mega Chimecho using its sonic attacks]]
Chimecho can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into Mega Chimecho.

As Mega Chimecho, its suction cup expands in size and forms a {{p|Chingling}}-styled ornament behind it, consisting of its familiar golden color along with the accompanying large red and white tassels. Six smaller Chimecho-styled ornaments line the Chingling ornament's arms and cheeks. Starting from the outward ornaments, they are colored amaranth, blue, and green, though with a connecting cheek pattern and a more polygonal pattern on each tail.

Mega Chimecho's cries have a bright and refreshing tone that soothes the hearts of Trainers who hear them. These cries calm the souls of listeners and are said to have a cleansing power that wards off and purifies evil spirits.<ref>[https://legends.pokemon.com/en-us/dlc | Mega Chimecho]</ref> Mega Chimecho can unleash powerful sound waves to disrupt its opponents' minds and break their spirits. Those hit by the attack will feel detached from reality and experience memory loss, sometimes losing track of what they were doing or who they are. Even if an opponent manages to win in this state, the sound of shattering, reverberating glass that resonates when Mega Chimecho falls will leave them in a state of shock despite their victory. The smaller copies of Mega Chimecho flutter endlessly, even when no wind is blowing. When Mega Chimecho cries, its copies join in and resonate with it. These echoes overlap and reverberate to create an intense sound-wave attack that can overwhelm any opponent.<ref>[https://legends.pokemon.com/en-us/dlc Mega Dimension]</ref><ref>[https://www.pokemon.co.jp/ex/legends_z-a_dlc/ja/pokemon/251106_01/</ Mega Dimension DLC]</ref>

==Trivia==
* Chimecho is the very last Pokémon by {{DL|List of Pokémon by index number (GBA)|index number}} in the [[Generation III]] games (excluding glitch Pokémon and {{p|Unown}} forms), except in {{g|XD: Gale of Darkness}}, where this trait belongs to {{p|Munchlax}}.

===Origin===
Chimecho appears to be based on Japanese glass wind bells known as ''{{wp|wind chime#Eastern and Southern Asia|fūrin}}'', which are hung around {{wp|Shinto shrine}}s to predict disasters and ward off evil spirits. Its red and white coloration is reminiscent of the dresses worn by {{wp|miko}}.

Mega Chimecho may be based on the {{wp|Khakkhara|khakkhara or shakujo}} staffs used by {{wp|Buddhism|Buddhist}} monks. They are topped by golden rings and the sounds of the rings shaking ward off animals, reflecting how Mega Chimecho's echoes create overlapping sounds. Mega Chimecho possesses the shape of a {{p|Chingling}}, referencing {{wp|atavism}}.

Chimecho’s seven cries, and the seven Chimecho on Mega Chimecho, may reference how the number seven signifies luck, good fortune, and spirituality in {{wp|Shinto}} and {{wp|Buddhism|Buddhist}} culture.

====Name origin====
Chimecho may be a combination of ''chime'' and ''echo''.

Chirean may be a combination of ちりんちりん ''chirinchirin'' (the sound of a bell chiming) and 風鈴 ''fūrin'' (wind chime).

'''Golisopod''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''グソクムシャ''' ''Gusokumusha'') is a dual-type {{2t|Bug|Water}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation VII]].

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

Golisopod can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into '''Mega Golisopod''' using the [[Golisopite]]. Mega Golisopod was introduced in the [[Mega Dimension]] DLC for {{g|Legends: Z-A}}.

==Biology==
Golisopod is a large, {{wp|arthropod}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with a hunched, humanoid posture. It has a pale purple body covered with silver armor plating. It has a relatively small head with bright purple antennae that converge with its mandibles to form a mask around its eyes. The eyes themselves are black and angular with light gray pupils. Behind its head and curving down its back are several armor plates, each with a long protrusion curving up from each side. There is a small, greenish triangle marking on the center of each plate. Most of its lower body is exposed, but there is additional armor resembling a loincloth around its waist and smooth pieces encasing its thighs and feet. Its feet each have a single black claw. Golisopod has three pairs of arms. The two foremost pairs are thinner, encased in a silver exoskeleton, and each is tipped with a single, black claw. The hindmost pair of arms is longer and has much larger forearms. These large forearms both have three overlapping, armored plates on the back and two black claws. The plate closest to its claws is plain, while the last two each have two greenish, triangular markings.

Golisopod has a shell as hard as diamond, and its retractable claws can cleave seawater in two. While it is skillful in battle, it often meditates peacefully deep in seaside caves. It is sometimes accompanied by {{p|Wimpod}}. Golisopod will do anything to win a fight. When it sees an opening to take advantage of, Golisopod will use the small claws on its front legs to finish off its opponent. {{p|Grapploct}} is the natural predator or prey of Golisopod, depending on who wins the fight.

In [[Generation VII]], {{m|First Impression}} was its [[signature move]], but {{p|Farfetch'd}} could still inherit it via {{pkmn|breeding}}. Golisopod is the [[Signature Ability|only known Pokémon]] that can have {{a|Emergency Exit}} as an [[Ability]].

===Evolution===
Golisopod evolves from {{p|Wimpod}}.

==In the TCG==
{{main|Golisopod (TCG)}}
==Trivia==
* Golisopod was designed by [[Kensaku Nabana]]. According to Nabana, it took him over six months to fully design and create Golisopod; this is an average amount of time for a Pokémon to be fully created, which includes determining its habitat, behavior, moveset, and {{Abilities}}.<ref>Wimmeroth, Ulrich (October 18, 2018). "[https://www.eurogamer.de/pokemon-lets-go-pikachu-und-evoli-der-lange-weg-zum-meistertrainer Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu und Evoli: Der lange Weg zum Meister-Trainer]." ''Eurogamer.de'' (German)</ref>

===Origin===
Golisopod may be based on the {{wp|giant isopod}} and the armor of a {{wp|samurai}}.

====Name origin====
Golisopod may be a combination of ''{{wp|Goliath}}'' and ''{{wp|isopod}}''.

Gusokumusha may be a combination of 大王具足虫 ''daiō-gusokumushi'' ({{wp|giant isopod}}), 具足 ''gusoku'' (fully equipped), and 武者 ''musha'' (warrior).

'''Golurk''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ゴルーグ''' ''Goloog'') is a dual-type {{2t|Ground|Ghost}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation V]].

It [[evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Golett}} starting at [[level]] 43.

Golurk can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into '''Mega Golurk''' using the [[Golurkite]]. Mega Golurk was introduced in the [[Mega Dimension]] DLC for {{g|Legends: Z-A}}.

==Biology==
Golurk is a bipedal automaton {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} resembling a suit of armor. It is mainly teal in color with yellow swirls on its shoulders and hands. It has a small head compared to its body, and pale yellow eyes, one of which turns to its left at the bottom, unlike {{p|Golett}}'s eye, which turns right. There is a crack across the chest of the armor, which is patched diagonally with a brown seal resembling a belt. It has a crystal-like formation on each shoulder, and there are large bangles on its wrists and ankles. It has a Roman armor-like "skirt" and flat feet beneath. There is an unproven theory that Golurk contains a {{wp|perpetual motion machine}} that creates a limitless amount of energy.

Despite its large size, Golurk is capable of flying by retracting its hands into its arms and its legs and feet into its body, then taking off like a rocket at Mach speeds. It is also capable of forming a cannon by pulling its legs into its body and standing on its hands, as seen in [[PokéPark 2: Wonders Beyond]], the {{pkmn|animated series}}, and the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga. If the seal on its chest is removed, its energy runs wild, and its energy's color turns from yellow to red. This causes it to rage and fly around uncontrollably without being able to land itself. Removing the seal also causes Golurk to attack indiscriminately. A rampaging Golurk can turn a whole town into a mountain of rubble.

Golurk is said to have been invented by ancient people to serve as a laborer and protector of people and Pokémon, and is [[:File:GolurkVEvolvingSkies182.jpg|sometimes used in construction projects]]. It also served as sentries on artillery platforms built into the walls of ancient castles, where it could fire energy beams. Golurk will faithfully follow its master's orders without question.

===Main series===
====Major appearances====
=====[[Goh's Golurk]]=====
In ''[[JN014|Raid Battle in The Ruins!]]'', a {{pkmn2|giant}} Golurk was a guardian of the [[Colossus Ruins]] at the [[Desert Resort]]. After it hatched from an ancient egg, it engaged in a [[Raid Battle (GO)#In animation|Raid Battle]] with Ash, [[Goh]], {{OBP|Kira|JN014}}, and the excavation {{OBP|leader|JN014}}. Once Golurk was defeated, Goh {{pkmn2|caught}} it.

==Trivia==
* According to Game Freak, Golurk and its pre-evolved form were both created by [[James Turner]].<ref>GAME FREAK: [http://web.archive.org/web/20130115083652/http://www.gamefreak.co.jp/blog/staff/?p=204 「ポケットモンスターブラック・ホワイト」のつくりかた　4] (archive)</ref><ref name=ND205>''Nintendo Dream'' Vol. 205, May 2011 ([https://web.archive.org/web/20110402003550/http://shellspider.blog101.fc2.com/blog-entry-562.html Shellspider's blog (Japanese)], [http://lavacutcontent.com/ken-sugimori-nintendo-dream/ Translation by Dr. Lava])</ref>
* [[PokéPark 2: Wonders Beyond]]'s PokéPad entry refers to Golurk as a male, despite Golurk being gender unknown.
* While Golurk has a 5% chance of holding the [[Light Clay]] in the wild, it cannot learn {{m|Light Screen}} or {{m|Aurora Veil}} and did not learn {{m|Reflect}} until [[Generation IX]].

===Origin===
Golurk and its pre-evolved form are based on {{wp|golem}}s.<ref name=ND205/> The crack and strap on its chest may be a reference to the golem in the Jewish story ''{{wp|Golem#The classic narrative: The Golem of Prague|The Golem of Prague}}''. The golem in this story was also believed to be able to summon the spirits of the dead, which was likely the reasoning for Golurk's {{t|Ghost}} type. Golurk and Golett's presence in Unova, being based on creatures from Jewish folklore, may also be inspired by the fact that New York City has the highest Jewish population of any city in the world.

Considering its body structure and ability to transform into a cannon and fly, Golurk may also be inspired by giant robots seen in {{wp|mecha anime and manga}}. Golurk also has elements resembling a {{wp|gladiator}}, such as a skirt and shoulder pads. Given its greenish color and the fact that [[Unova]] is based on the {{wp|New York City metropolitan area}}, Golurk may also be partially inspired by the {{wp|Statue of Liberty}}. Being the soldiers of an ancient civilization, it may also be inspired by the {{wp|Terracotta Army}}, a collection of thousands of clay statues in China built circa 210 BCE to protect the first {{wp|Emperor of China}}, {{wp|Qin Shi Huang}}.

====Name origin====
Golurk may be a combination of ''golem'' and ''lurk'' (referring to its Ghost type).

Goloog may be a combination of ''golem'' and サイボーグ ''saibōgu'' (cyborg).

'''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]] 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.]] It has developed four black appendages that hang down from its head, which rise when Lucario reads or manipulates [[aura]], a special energy that it senses; these appendages are very similar in shape and number to the four pink appendages on the head of the Being of Emotion, {{p|Mesprit}}. Lucario can use its powers to create a staff in the form of a bone and use it to fight.

Lucario can study auras to predict the movements of its opponents and track their quarry. With sufficient training, a Lucario can read auras to understand how living beings are feeling from more than half a mile (1 kilometer) away. 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. 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. In [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]], Lucario's eyes glow golden (instead of blue as in the anime) when using its aura vision.

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 one {{OBP|Lucario|M08}} was seen eating {{Berries}} and plants like roses. It has also been seen eating chocolate, although chocolate is not part of its natural diet. As mentioned in the [[Sleep style|Sleep Style Dex]], Lucario never lowers its guard, even when sleeping. It is believed Lucario reads the aura of others while asleep similarly to when it is awake.

===Forms===

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 Evolution|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 the first Pokémon to Mega Evolve in [[Kalos]]. Its aura heightens throughout its body and forms black markings across its blue fur. Mega Lucario's fighting style has been described as heartless due to it being bathed in the explosive energy of Mega Evolution, awakening its combative instincts and causing it to mercilessly attack its opponents.

====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> While the previously discovered Mega Lucario is known to channel its aura into a destructive force, Mega Lucario Z channels its aura in a more defensive manner by cloaking itself in it to increase its defense, flexibility, and agility. Mega Lucario Z can utilize its powerful aura in various ways; it can extend the aura into a thin shield or concentrate it into specific parts of its body, such as its legs or fists, to enhance its attacks. In close combat, it uses the longer fur surrounding its head and waist, along with its fan-shaped tail, to visually disorient opponents. This makes it difficult for them to see Mega Lucario Z's aggressive movements. Additionally, parts of its fur have been hardened with steel energy. By concentrating its strength into these hardened areas—specifically the back of its hands and shins—it can deliver powerful blows despite its appearance. Mega Lucario Z is named such to differentiate it from the previously known Mega Lucario, and is an example of a subset of Mega Evolution known as Z Mega Evolution, which allows it to fire [[move]]s at a faster rate at the cost of expending [[Mega Power]] in a shorter amount of time than usual, making it unsuited for prolonged {{pkmn|battle}}s.<ref>[https://legends.pokemon.com/en-us/news/mega_lucario_z A New Mega-Evolved Pokémon Is Here | Pokémon Legends: Z-A]</ref>

===NPC appearances===
====In the core series====
*These notable Trainers all use a Lucario:
** [[Maylene]]'s main partner is a 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 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 [[Korrina's Lucario|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 is set to reappear in {{g|Legends: Z-A}} with a Lucario in [[Mega Dimension]].
*** [[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.

====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 discernable 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 worshipped 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.

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 West 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 Egypt 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'').

'''Golurk''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ゴルーグ''' ''Goloog'') is a dual-type {{2t|Ground|Ghost}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation V]].

It [[evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Golett}} starting at [[level]] 43.

Golurk can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into '''Mega Golurk''' using the [[Golurkite]]. Mega Golurk was introduced in the [[Mega Dimension]] DLC for {{g|Legends: Z-A}}.

==Biology==
Golurk is a bipedal automaton {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} resembling a suit of armor. It is mainly teal in color with yellow swirls on its shoulders and hands. It has a small head compared to its body, and pale yellow eyes, one of which turns to its left at the bottom, unlike {{p|Golett}}'s eye, which turns right. There is a crack across the chest of the armor, which is patched diagonally with a brown seal resembling a belt. It has a crystal-like formation on each shoulder, and there are large bangles on its wrists and ankles. It has a Roman armor-like "skirt" and flat feet beneath. There is an unproven theory that Golurk contains a {{wp|perpetual motion machine}} that creates a limitless amount of energy.

Despite its large size, Golurk is capable of flying by retracting its hands into its arms and its legs and feet into its body, then taking off like a rocket at Mach speeds. It is also capable of forming a cannon by pulling its legs into its body and standing on its hands, as seen in [[PokéPark 2: Wonders Beyond]], the {{pkmn|animated series}}, and the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga. If the seal on its chest is removed, its energy runs wild, and its energy's color turns from yellow to red. This causes it to rage and fly around uncontrollably without being able to land itself. Removing the seal also causes Golurk to attack indiscriminately. A rampaging Golurk can turn a whole town into a mountain of rubble.

Golurk is said to have been invented by ancient people to serve as a laborer and protector of people and Pokémon, and is [[:File:GolurkVEvolvingSkies182.jpg|sometimes used in construction projects]]. It also served as sentries on artillery platforms built into the walls of ancient castles, where it could fire energy beams. Golurk will faithfully follow its master's orders without question.

[[File:Juanita Golurk Black.png|thumb|250px|A {{Shiny}} Golurk in {{aniseries|BW}}]]
===Main series===
====Major appearances====
=====[[Goh's Golurk]]=====
In ''[[JN014|Raid Battle in The Ruins!]]'', a {{pkmn2|giant}} Golurk was a guardian of the [[Colossus Ruins]] at the [[Desert Resort]]. After it hatched from an ancient egg, it engaged in a [[Raid Battle (GO)#In animation|Raid Battle]] with Ash, [[Goh]], {{OBP|Kira|JN014}}, and the excavation {{OBP|leader|JN014}}. Once Golurk was defeated, Goh {{pkmn2|caught}} it.

=====Other=====
In [[M14|''White—Victini and Zekrom'' and ''Black—Victini and Reshiram'']], [[Juanita]]'s Golurk acts as her assistant and partner at her souvenir shop. It is also {{Shiny}} in the latter movie.

In ''[[BW082|An Epic Defense Force!]]'', a Golurk was an {{a|illusion}} in a movie directed by [[Luke]].

In ''[[BW096|Meloetta and the Undersea Temple!]]'' and ''[[BW097|Unova's Survival Crisis!]]'', [[Ridley]] used a Golurk to fly with him, and it was also used to defend {{an|Meloetta}} from {{TRT}}. It was also used to battle two {{tc|Team Rocket Grunt}}s' {{p|Golem}} and {{p|Rhydon}}. After that, it battled the {{an|forces of nature}} in their {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Forces of Nature|Therian Formes}}.

In ''[[BW120|Ash and N: A Clash of Ideals!]]'', ''[[BW121|Team Plasma and the Awakening Ceremony!]]'', and ''[[BW122|What Lies Beyond Truth and Ideals!]]'', [[Cedric Juniper's assistants]] used multiple Golurk at the {{an|White Ruins}}, but they were later turned against their owners by [[Colress]]. They were eventually freed when {{AP|Pikachu}} and {{an|Reshiram}} destroyed Colress's mind-control device.

In ''[[BW134|The Journalist from Another Region!]]'', [[Rodney]] used a Golurk during the [[Pokémon Sumo Tournament]]. Golurk made it through to the final round and faced off against {{Ash}} and {{AP|Pignite}}, but it ended up losing against them.

In ''[[SM104|That's Some Spicy Island Research!]]'', [[Hapu]]'s Golurk was first seen assisting her in a Poni Island radish field. It attacked Ash when Hapu believed he was the one who had been stealing radishes from the field, and defeated {{AP|Pikachu}} in battle. Golurk has since made further appearances in {{aniseries|SM}}.

==Trivia==
* According to Game Freak, Golurk and its pre-evolved form were both created by [[James Turner]].<ref>GAME FREAK: [http://web.archive.org/web/20130115083652/http://www.gamefreak.co.jp/blog/staff/?p=204 「ポケットモンスターブラック・ホワイト」のつくりかた　4] (archive)</ref><ref name=ND205>''Nintendo Dream'' Vol. 205, May 2011 ([https://web.archive.org/web/20110402003550/http://shellspider.blog101.fc2.com/blog-entry-562.html Shellspider's blog (Japanese)], [http://lavacutcontent.com/ken-sugimori-nintendo-dream/ Translation by Dr. Lava])</ref>
* [[PokéPark 2: Wonders Beyond]]'s PokéPad entry refers to Golurk as a male, despite Golurk being gender unknown.
* While Golurk has a 5% chance of holding the [[Light Clay]] in the wild, it cannot learn {{m|Light Screen}} or {{m|Aurora Veil}} and did not learn {{m|Reflect}} until [[Generation IX]].

===Origin===
Golurk and its pre-evolved form are based on {{wp|golem}}s.<ref name=ND205/> The crack and strap on its chest may be a reference to the golem in the Jewish story ''{{wp|Golem#The classic narrative: The Golem of Prague|The Golem of Prague}}''. The golem in this story was also believed to be able to summon the spirits of the dead, which was likely the reasoning for Golurk's {{t|Ghost}} type. Golurk and Golett's presence in Unova, being based on creatures from Jewish folklore, may also be inspired by the fact that New York City has the highest Jewish population of any city in the world.

Considering its body structure and ability to transform into a cannon and fly, Golurk may also be inspired by giant robots seen in {{wp|mecha anime and manga}}. Golurk also has elements resembling a {{wp|gladiator}}, such as a skirt and shoulder pads. Given its greenish color and the fact that [[Unova]] is based on the {{wp|New York City metropolitan area}}, Golurk may also be partially inspired by the {{wp|Statue of Liberty}}. Being the soldiers of an ancient civilization, it may also be inspired by the {{wp|Terracotta Army}}, a collection of thousands of clay statues in China built circa 210 BCE to protect the first {{wp|Emperor of China}}, {{wp|Qin Shi Huang}}.

====Name origin====
Golurk may be a combination of ''golem'' and ''lurk'' (referring to its Ghost type).

Goloog may be a combination of ''golem'' and サイボーグ ''saibōgu'' (cyborg).

'''Tyranitar''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''バンギラス''' ''Bangiras'') is a dual-type {{2t|Rock|Dark}} [[pseudo-legendary Pokémon]] introduced in [[Generation II]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Pupitar}} starting at [[level]] 55. It is the final form of {{p|Larvitar}}.

Tyranitar can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into '''Mega Tyranitar''' using the [[Tyranitarite]].

The [[Paradox Pokémon]] {{p|Iron Thorns}} is said to be either a future relative of Tyranitar or a counterpart of it from a parallel timeline.

==Biology==
Tyranitar is a large, bipedal, dinosaurian {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with a green, armor-like hide covering its body. It has two pairs of pointed teeth: one in the upper jaw and one in the lower. Several spikes of varying sizes protrude from the back of its head, neck, and shoulders. Both sides of its chest, the center of its back, and its knees have two triangular holes. There is a gray, diamond-shaped patch of scales covering its belly and a smaller one on its back. It has three claws on its feet and hands. A ring of spikes surrounds the tip of its tail.

Tyranitar is a powerful Pokémon with an insolent nature, uncaring of others. It is extremely strong, and its thick, rocky hide gives it good resistance to all forms of attack. As mentioned in {{g|Sleep}}, Tyranitar can often be seen sleeping in a relaxed position with its limbs spread wide, unconcerned about its surroundings due to its overwhelming power and strong, armored body.<ref>[[Sleep style|Sleep Style Dex]]</ref> As a result, Tyranitar is always looking for a battle and will not flinch at anything, though it ignores opponents that it thinks are not worth its time.

Tyranitar's physical strength is so great that it can forcefully crush anything using one of its hands. If enraged, Tyranitar sets off outstanding earthquakes that can completely change the entire landscape, destroying houses and mountains, burying rivers, and often forcing cartographers to draw up new maps. It lives in nests made from demolished {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Mountain Pokémon|mountains}}. In the [[Galar]] [[region]], it has a fierce rivalry with {{p|Duraludon}}, which it shares its habitat with, often battling each other in the mountains.<ref>[https://swordshield.pokemon.com/en-us/pokemon-galar-region/duraludon/ Duraludon |Official Website |Pokémon Sword and Pokémon Shield]</ref> {{p|Iron Thorns}} is believed to be a relative of Tyranitar from one billion years in the future.

Prior to [[Generation IV]], Tyranitar was the [[signature Ability|only known Pokémon]] that could have {{a|Sand Stream}} as an [[Ability]].

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

Mega Tyranitar has more gaps in its armor than its normal form, with four new triangular holes along the sides of its neck and one on its throat. The four holes on its chest are now larger with the top two containing red ovals. While the spikes along the back of its neck grow shorter, the ones on its head elongate to form prominent ridges along its brows. The center spike on its head becomes a long, upright horn. Its chest plate expands, curving over its shoulders and along its back to form three long, irregular spikes on each side of its body. The scales on Mega Tyranitar's belly have now become red instead of blue and seethe with energy, enabling it to emanate more power.<ref>http://www.pokemonxy.com/en-us/pokemon/mega_pokemon/#Tyranitar</ref> It gains two sharp spikes on its knees, as well as more prominent leg joints. Its tail lengthens, with the three spikes surrounding its tip growing upward and outward. Its back had split open because of the overwhelming power from Mega Evolution. As a Mega Tyranitar, its instincts have only become more destructive, to the point where it may not even be able to hear its Trainer's orders.

==Trivia==
[[File:Magazine Tyranitar.png|thumb|150px|Monster design by Ken Sugimori, published in April 1997<ref name=MicroDesign/>]]
* No other Pokémon has the same [[type]] [[List of Pokémon with unique type combinations|combination]] as Tyranitar.
* Tyranitar is the only {{type|Dark}} Pokémon in the {{egg3|Monster}}.
* Tyranitar shares its {{pkmn|category}} name with {{p|Donphan}}. They are both known as the Armor Pokémon.
* [[Mega Evolution|Mega]] Tyranitar is tied with Mega {{p|Diancie}} for the highest base stat total of all {{type|Rock}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}.
* Mega Tyranitar has the highest base {{stat|Attack}} and {{stat|Defense}} stats of all Dark-type Pokémon.
* Tyranitar's design heavily resembles a monster design illustrated by [[Ken Sugimori]] for Volume 14 of MicroDesign Publishing's ''Bimonthly Game Review'' (Japanese: 隔月刊ゲーム批評) magazine, published in April 1997. According to Sugimori, the monster design was meant to be an original creation unrelated to Pokémon.<ref name=MicroDesign>''Bimonthly Game Review'' magazine, Vol. 14 (April 1997). ''MicroDesign Publishing''. ([https://web.archive.org/web/20160308190849/http://www.hairyticksofdune.net/dropbox/sugimori.html transcript with English translations]; Plague von Karma's [https://imgur.com/FFLW01B scan with English translations] and [https://plaguevonkarmabeta.weebly.com/blog/microgroup-game-review-vol14-sugimori-retranslated translator notes])</ref>

===Origin===


Tyranitar's design may have drawn inspiration from the ''{{wp|kaiju}}'' genre; its upright posture may allude to how most ''kaiju'' are humanoid in shape, due to the need to fit a person inside the suit. Mega Tyranitar's back splitting open and green coloration may be based on an insect emerging from its cocoon.

Another influence it may have is with the {{wp|Armadillo girdled lizard}}, a desert-dwelling lizard mainly distinguished by its especially firm scales, or certain {{wp|Theropoda|theropod}} dinosaurs.

====Name origin====
Tyranitar may be derived from ''tyrant'' or ''{{wp|Tyrannosaurus}}'' (both derived from the same root), and ''{{wp|tar}}'' (alluding to the misconception of petroleum and tar originating from dinosaurs) or ''{{wp|Reptar}}''. It may also involve ''{{wp|Tarasque}}''.

Bangiras may be a combination of 野蛮 ''yaban'' (savage) or 蛮 ''ban'' (barbarian), 嫌い ''kirai'' (hated), and ソーラス ''sōrasu'', a corruption of サウルス ''saurusu'' (''-saurus'', Greek-derived suffix for dinosaur names).

'''Tyranitar''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''バンギラス''' ''Bangiras'') is a dual-type {{2t|Rock|Dark}} [[pseudo-legendary Pokémon]] introduced in [[Generation II]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Pupitar}} starting at [[level]] 55. It is the final form of {{p|Larvitar}}.

Tyranitar can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into '''Mega Tyranitar''' using the [[Tyranitarite]].

The [[Paradox Pokémon]] {{p|Iron Thorns}} is said to be either a future relative of Tyranitar or a counterpart of it from a parallel timeline.

==Biology==
Tyranitar is a large, bipedal, dinosaurian {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with a green, armor-like hide covering its body. It has two pairs of pointed teeth: one in the upper jaw and one in the lower. Several spikes of varying sizes protrude from the back of its head, neck, and shoulders. Both sides of its chest, the center of its back, and its knees have two triangular holes. There is a gray, diamond-shaped patch of scales covering its belly and a smaller one on its back. It has three claws on its feet and hands. A ring of spikes surrounds the tip of its tail.

Tyranitar is a powerful Pokémon with an insolent nature, uncaring of others. It is extremely strong, and its thick, rocky hide gives it good resistance to all forms of attack. As mentioned in {{g|Sleep}}, Tyranitar can often be seen sleeping in a relaxed position with its limbs spread wide, unconcerned about its surroundings due to its overwhelming power and strong, armored body.<ref>[[Sleep style|Sleep Style Dex]]</ref> As a result, Tyranitar is always looking for a battle and will not flinch at anything, though it ignores opponents that it thinks are not worth its time.

Tyranitar's physical strength is so great that it can forcefully crush anything using one of its hands. If enraged, Tyranitar sets off outstanding earthquakes that can completely change the entire landscape, destroying houses and mountains, burying rivers, and often forcing cartographers to draw up new maps. It lives in nests made from demolished {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Mountain Pokémon|mountains}}. In the [[Galar]] [[region]], it has a fierce rivalry with {{p|Duraludon}}, which it shares its habitat with, often battling each other in the mountains.<ref>[https://swordshield.pokemon.com/en-us/pokemon-galar-region/duraludon/ Duraludon |Official Website |Pokémon Sword and Pokémon Shield]</ref> {{p|Iron Thorns}} is believed to be a relative of Tyranitar from one billion years in the future.

Prior to [[Generation IV]], Tyranitar was the [[signature Ability|only known Pokémon]] that could have {{a|Sand Stream}} as an [[Ability]].

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

Mega Tyranitar has more gaps in its armor than its normal form, with four new triangular holes along the sides of its neck and one on its throat. The four holes on its chest are now larger with the top two containing red ovals. While the spikes along the back of its neck grow shorter, the ones on its head elongate to form prominent ridges along its brows. The center spike on its head becomes a long, upright horn. Its chest plate expands, curving over its shoulders and along its back to form three long, irregular spikes on each side of its body. The scales on Mega Tyranitar's belly have now become red instead of blue and seethe with energy, enabling it to emanate more power.<ref>http://www.pokemonxy.com/en-us/pokemon/mega_pokemon/#Tyranitar</ref> It gains two sharp spikes on its knees, as well as more prominent leg joints. Its tail lengthens, with the three spikes surrounding its tip growing upward and outward. Its back had split open because of the overwhelming power from Mega Evolution. As a Mega Tyranitar, its instincts have only become more destructive, to the point where it may not even be able to hear its Trainer's orders.

==Trivia==
[[File:Magazine Tyranitar.png|thumb|150px|Monster design by Ken Sugimori, published in April 1997<ref name=MicroDesign/>]]
* No other Pokémon has the same [[type]] [[List of Pokémon with unique type combinations|combination]] as Tyranitar.
* Tyranitar is the only {{type|Dark}} Pokémon in the {{egg3|Monster}}.
* Tyranitar shares its {{pkmn|category}} name with {{p|Donphan}}. They are both known as the Armor Pokémon.
* [[Mega Evolution|Mega]] Tyranitar is tied with Mega {{p|Diancie}} for the highest base stat total of all {{type|Rock}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}.
** Mega Tyranitar has the highest base {{stat|Attack}} and {{stat|Defense}} stats of all Dark-type Pokémon.
* Tyranitar's design heavily resembles a monster design illustrated by [[Ken Sugimori]] for Volume 14 of MicroDesign Publishing's ''Bimonthly Game Review'' (Japanese: 隔月刊ゲーム批評) magazine, published in April 1997. According to Sugimori, the monster design was meant to be an original creation unrelated to Pokémon.<ref name=MicroDesign>''Bimonthly Game Review'' magazine, Vol. 14 (April 1997). ''MicroDesign Publishing''. ([https://web.archive.org/web/20160308190849/http://www.hairyticksofdune.net/dropbox/sugimori.html transcript with English translations]; Plague von Karma's [https://imgur.com/FFLW01B scan with English translations] and [https://plaguevonkarmabeta.weebly.com/blog/microgroup-game-review-vol14-sugimori-retranslated translator notes])</ref>

===Origin===


Tyranitar's design may have drawn inspiration from the ''{{wp|kaiju}}'' genre; its upright posture may allude to how most ''kaiju'' are humanoid in shape, due to the need to fit a person inside the suit. Mega Tyranitar's back splitting open and green coloration may be based on an insect emerging from its cocoon.

Another influence it may have is with the {{wp|Armadillo girdled lizard}}, a desert-dwelling lizard mainly distinguished by its especially firm scales, or certain {{wp|Theropoda|theropod}} dinosaurs.

====Name origin====
Tyranitar may be derived from ''tyrant'' or ''{{wp|Tyrannosaurus}}'' (both derived from the same root), and ''{{wp|tar}}'' (alluding to the misconception of petroleum and tar originating from dinosaurs) or ''{{wp|Reptar}}''. It may also involve ''{{wp|Tarasque}}''.

Bangiras may be a combination of 野蛮 ''yaban'' (savage) or 蛮 ''ban'' (barbarian), 嫌い ''kirai'' (hated), and ソーラス ''sōrasu'', a corruption of サウルス ''saurusu'' (''-saurus'', Greek-derived suffix for dinosaur names).

'''Granbull''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''グランブル''' ''Granbulu'') is a {{type|Fairy}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation II]]. Prior to [[Generation VI]], it was a {{type|Normal}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Snubbull}} starting at [[level]] 23.

==Biology==
Granbull is a stout, purplish-pink, bipedal, {{wp|bulldog}}-like {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. It has a prominent lower jaw with two long, fang-like growths. Its upper jaw has two small fangs. The jaws are so heavy that the Pokémon has trouble keeping its head up. On the sides of its head are flat, curved ears, and its small nose is black. There is a black collar around its neck with two small white markings on it. Around its wrists are two black band markings, and it has a short tail.

A Granbull's main weapons are its well-developed lower jaw and heavy fangs. The bite from its jaws is said to be very powerful. However, due to how heavy its jaws are, Granbull keeps its head tilted down constantly for balance. Despite its fierce appearance, it is actually very timid and sensitive, even more so than {{p|Snubbull}}. Granbull rarely bites as it prefers not to get involved in disputes. Unless Granbull is startled or sufficiently angered, it will not bite indiscriminately. If attacked, it will flail about to fend off its attacker. Granbull is popular with young people due to how it acts and looks. It is considered too incompetent to be a guard dog due to its fearful nature. Granbull wanders around {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Urban Pokémon|urban areas}}.

===Evolution===
Granbull evolves from {{p|Snubbull}}.

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

** The "Fairy Pokémon" category predates the introduction of the {{type|Fairy}} in [[Generation VI]]. From this generation onwards, the type and category of these four Pokémon share the same English name. However, this is not true in Japanese, where the type is フェアリータイプ ''Fairy-type'' and the category is ようせいポケモン ''Yōsei Pokémon''.
* As the [[Ability]] {{a|Quick Feet}} did not exist until [[Generation IV]], a Snubbull with either {{a|Intimidate}} or {{a|Run Away}} will always evolve into a Granbull with Intimidate in [[Generation III]] games. This means that in Generation III, Granbull is the only Pokémon with an Ability that evolves from a Pokémon with one of two possible Abilities that shares to Granbull's Ability.

===Origin===
Granbull may be based on the {{wp|bulldog}}, a dog breed that can appear fierce but is actually gentle. Bulldogs are often depicted as being used as {{wp|guard dog}}s, which may explain Granbull's thick collar and wristband/shackle-like markings. Due to its large size, it is possible that Granbull may be based on large bulldog breeds, like the {{wp|Serrano Bulldog}}, {{wp|Ca de Bou}}, and {{wp|Alano Español}}.

Its {{pkmn|category}}, [[Fairy (Egg Group)|Egg Group]], and {{t|Fairy|type}} may reference the {{wp|Cù-sìth}}, a creature in {{wp|Celtic mythology}} whose name means ''dog fairy''. Alternatively, while its intimidating appearance could be reminiscent of various grotesque mythical creatures such as {{wp|goblin}}s and {{wp|orc}}s, it might be inspired specifically by {{wp|kobold}}s, sprites that are commonly represented as dog-like in Japanese media.

====Name origin====
Granbull and Granbulu may be a combination of ''grand'', ''grumble'', and ''bulldog'' or ''bully''.

'''Chandelure''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''シャンデラ''' ''Chandela'') is a dual-type {{2t|Ghost|Fire}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation V]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Lampent}} when exposed to a [[Dusk Stone]]. It is the final form of {{p|Litwick}}.

Chandelure can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into '''Mega Chandelure''' using the [[Chandelurite]]. Mega Chandelure was introduced in [[Pokémon Legends: Z-A]].

==Biology==
Chandelure is a {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that resembles a sentient chandelier. It has a striped, round head with large vertical stripes surrounding its main lantern and a horizontal stripe connecting its eyes akin to a "mouth", two smaller vertical stripes are placed in the midpoint between the stripe between its eyes and the stripes that frame its eyes. It has round, pupil-less yellow eyes. There is a ring of small, black spikes on top of its head with a tall, purple flame in the middle. From a black spike below its head, two black arms curl upward with two smaller arms extending laterally from their midpoints. These arms are tipped with purple fire.

Chandelure generates flames that do not burn their victims physically; rather, they burn the victim's spirit. After hypnotizing its opponent by waving these flames, it absorbs the victim's spirit. It is said that any spirits that get incinerated by Chandelure's flames end up losing their way and are forced to wander the mortal world forever. Chandelure is known to reside in rundown mansions. There is a rumor that some homes were illuminated by Chandelure instead of traditional lighting, which leads to the deaths of many unfortunate residents.

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

As Mega Chandelure, it becomes a more ornate, two-tiered chandelier. The flame atop of Mega Chandelure's head has expanded into a second lantern, ringed by vaguely S-shaped pieces that form the shape of a crown and topped by an enormous purple flame. One of Mega Chandelure's eyes turns a purple color, which is a window linking to the afterlife. Mega Chandelure gains two extra arms on its main body, and below its triangular tip extends a second ring of 8 S-shaped arms topped by more purple flames. At the very bottom of its body is a diamond-shaped tailpiece. The bottom half of Mega Chandelure's body fades to a faded golden coloration; this coloration can also be seen on the tips of its upper arms. Mega Chandelure can absorb the hatred from its surroundings and convert it into power for it to use.

====Trophy information====
'''NA''': ''A Ghost/Fire-type Pokémon that burns its opponents' spirits instead of their bodies. When it attacks, it does so in bursts of three, using moves like Will-O-Wisp and Fire Spin. Try not to use fire-based attacks or items on it, as it will only absorb them and use them to strengthen itself.''

'''PAL''': ''A Ghost- and Fire-type Pokémon that doesn't burn its opponents' bodies, but their spirits. When it attacks, it does so in bursts of three, using moves like Will-O-Wisp and Fire Spin.

==Trivia==
*In the [[Pokémon of the Year]] poll held by The Pokémon Company in 2020, Chandelure was voted the most popular [[Generation V]] {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, receiving 50,943 votes. It was also the eighteenth-most popular Pokémon overall.
*While Chandelure is unobtainable in [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]], [[Ingo]] indirectly mentions his Chandelure at one point while in [[Wayward Cave]], describing it as having "wielded flames with mastery".
*In [[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U|Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS]]'s {{sbw|Smash Run}} game mode, Chandelure can absorb fire and darkness attacks. The fire immunity can be explained by its possible ability {{a|Flash Fire}}, but the described immunity to darkness-based attacks is unfitting considering that Chandelure is weak to {{t|Ghost}} and {{type|Dark}} attacks.
* Chandelure and its evolutionary relatives are the only dual-type {{t|Fire}}/Ghost Pokémon to have Ghost as their primary type instead of their secondary type.
* Mega Chandelure has the highest base {{stat|Special Attack}} stat of all {{type|Ghost}} and {{type|Fire}} Pokémon.

===Origin===
Chandelure appears to combine an ornate {{wp|chandelier}} with the folkloric idea of wandering spirit-flames. Chandelure's depiction of dwelling in old buildings may be a nod to the luxury chandeliers commonly found in European {{wp|castle}}s, {{wp|palace}}s, and {{wp|mansion}}s. Its face loosely resembles a skull; its curled black arms and cage-like frame recall {{wp|wrought iron}} fixtures typical of {{wp|Gothic architecture}}, while its round, glassy body suggests the reservoir of an {{wp|oil lamp}} or an early candelabra-style {{wp|street light}}.

The characteristically blue-violet flames, placed where candles would be, mirror traditional Japanese depictions of ghostly fire known as ''{{wp|hitodama}}'', and their tendency to lure and consume spirits parallels tales of the {{wp|will-o'-the-wisp}} leading travelers astray. It may also draw inspiration from the yokai ''{{wp|chōchin-obake}}'', a haunted paper lantern, which, in this design, is reimagined as a European glass lamp. [[Mega]] Chandelure elevates the candelabrum motif into a towering, multi-tiered fixture, evoking the sumptuous grandeur of a palatial chandelier.

====Name origin====
Chandelure may be a combination of ''chandelier'' and ''lure''.

Chandela may be a combination of ''chandelier'' and ''candela'' (Latin for candle) or ''{{wp|candelabra}}''.

'''Aegislash''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ギルガルド''' ''Gillgard'') is a dual-type {{2t|Steel|Ghost}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation VI]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Doublade}} when exposed to a [[Dusk Stone]]. It is the final form of {{p|Honedge}}.

Aegislash has the ability to change [[#Form data|forms]] during battle, depending on the [[move]]s it uses. It changes from its '''Shield Forme''' into its '''Blade Forme''' when using a damaging move, changing back when using {{m|King's Shield}} or when [[recall|switched out]].

(Refer to [[#Form data|Game data→Form data]] for more details.)

==Biology==
Aegislash is a {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} whose body resembles a golden sword. The edge of the steel blade is white and somewhat serrated near the tip. Where the blade meets the hilt is a single, purple eye with a white slit pupil surrounded by black space. The handle forms a thick, striated spike. Two cloth-like arms emerge from the sides of the hilt. Each arm is primarily black and transitions to a pale purple with a slight swirl pattern at the tip. The sash-like arms split into four tassels at the tips. It always carries an ornate shield in at least one of its arms. The shield is gold and has three brown rings surrounded by black in the middle. It also has a brown rim with three lines radiating toward the center.

Aegislash possesses incredible spectral powers, enabling it to manipulate people and Pokémon alike. It once used this power to force people and Pokémon to build a kingdom to its liking. It is also able to detect the innate qualities of leadership. Legend has it that whoever it recognizes as a worthy leader with this power is destined to become king. In fact, this Pokémon has attended and served generations of kings. However, an Aegislash was rumored to have drained the life of one king, causing his kingdom to fall alongside him.

Aegislash is the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|King's Shield}}.

===Forms===
Aegislash has two forms: Shield Forme and Blade Forme.

Aegislash is capable of {{a|Stance Change|changing its stance}} depending on what moves it uses. Defensive moves are performed in its Shield Forme while offensive moves are performed in its Blade Forme.

;Shield Forme
In this form, it holds its shield up in front of its blade with both of its arms crossed behind the shield. The centers of the rings on its shield are white. Its Shield Forme can block and reduce the damage of any attack. It accomplishes this through a combination of its steel body and a force field made from its spectral power.

;Blade Forme
In this form, it carries its shield in its left arm and exposes its blade, which it uses to slash its opponents. The Blade Forme can use the strength and weight of its blade to cut through any opponent. It can also use {{m|Shadow Ball|magic-based attacks}} to strike foes from a distance.

===Form data===
Aegislash, due to its [[Ability]] {{a|Stance Change}}, can change forms in {{pkmn|battle}} depending on the [[move]]s it uses. It starts battles in its Shield Forme; using a damaging move will change it to Blade Forme, and using {{m|King's Shield}} will change it back into Shield Forme (both form changes take place immediately before the move is used). It reverts to Shield Forme when [[Recall|switched out]]. Outside of battle, it is always in Shield Forme.

==Trivia==
* Aegislash and its pre-evolved forms were designed by [[Hitoshi Ariga]].<ref>[http://hitoshiariga.deviantart.com/art/Pocket-Monsters-XY-413536751 Pocket Monsters XY by HitoshiAriga on deviantART]</ref>
* Aegislash is the first Pokémon to have its base stat total lowered, and the only one before {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}.
* Shield Forme Aegislash has the highest base {{stat|Special Defense}} stat of all {{type|Ghost}} Pokémon.
* Shield Forme Aegislash is featured on the emblem of the [[Magenta District]] in [[Lumiose City]].

===Origin===
Aegislash appears to be based on a possessed {{wp|sword}} and {{wp|shield}}. Its disposition to sense an owner's potential as leaders and kings seem to draw inspiration from the ideas of mythical swords of European legend, such as {{wp|Durendal}} and {{wp|Excalibur}}.

====Name origin====
Aegislash may be a combination of ''{{wp|Aegis}}'' ({{wp|Zeus}}'s shield in Greek mythology) and ''slash''.

Gillgard may be a combination of ''{{wp|Gilgamesh}}'' or ''gild'' (to cover with a layer of gold), 斬る ''kiru'' (to slay with a blade) or ''kill'', and ''guard''.

'''Gallade''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''エルレイド''' ''Erureido'') is a dual-type {{2t|Psychic|Fighting}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation IV]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from a [[Gender|male]] {{p|Kirlia}} when exposed to a [[Dawn Stone]]. It is one of {{p|Ralts}}'s final forms, the other being {{p|Gardevoir}}.

Gallade can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into '''Mega Gallade''' using the [[Galladite]]. Mega Gallade was introduced in {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}.

The [[Paradox Pokémon]] {{p|Iron Valiant}} is said to be a future relative of Gallade and Gardevoir or a counterpart of them from a parallel timeline.

==Biology==
Gallade is a white, bipedal, ''{{wp|bishōnen}}''-like {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. Its lower body consists of rounded hips with strong legs. It has a thin green torso with a sharp red plate going through its chest and back. Its arms resemble {{wp|tonfa}}s with extendable, blade-like elbows, which are {{a|Sharpness|sharper}} than any human-crafted sword and can be enhanced with {{m|Psycho Cut|psychic energy}} during combat. Its head resembles a gladiator's helmet with a white face, red eyes, and a teal head crest. It has spikes on the sides of its face.

It is a master of courtesy and swordsmanship capable of predicting its foe's moves, allowing it to strike preemptively. True to Gallade's honorable warrior image, it is just as protective of its {{pkmn|Trainer}} as its counterpart, {{p|Gardevoir}}, using the blades on its elbows to defend. Gallade is known to be sharply aware of a person's wish for help and seeks out those who need its assistance in battle, fighting savagely with fast and fierce attacks. It is capable of teaching itself swordsmanship at an impressive rate. As shown in [[PS419|Pokémon Adventures]], Gallade can extend its blades at will to attack opponents from behind. This Pokémon inhabits mountainous areas. As mentioned in the [[Sleep style|Sleep Style Dex]], Gallade has been observed sleeping in a formal position with one knee up. It is believed that Gallade does this because, even in its sleep, it is preparing to fight and protect both humans and Pokémon at any moment. {{P|Iron Valiant}} shares a resemblance to Gallade and Gardevoir.

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

As Mega Gallade, its entire body becomes white, save for its head. Red plates emerge from its arms, its blue head crest grows slightly longer, and the spikes on its head are elongated. Gallade's sword-like blades have become serrated with the additional plates, and their slicing power has increased even further. It also gains two cape-like protrusions on its back to increase its defensive capabilities.

When the situation demands it, Mega Gallade can use its psychic power to reshape both arms into blades simultaneously and fight using a dual-wielding style.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20150202062740/http://www.pokemonrubysapphire.com/en-us/pokemon/new-mega-evolutions/mega-gallade Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire | Mega Gallade]</ref> Mega Gallade's strength and fighting prowess are derived from its bond with its Trainer.

* Gallade's number in the [[List of Pokémon by Sinnoh Pokédex number|Sinnoh Pokédex]] ({{v2|Platinum}} only) and the [[List of Pokémon by Almia Browser number|Almia Browser]] are the same: 160.

===Origin===
Gallade may be based on a warrior {{wp|elf}}. The single fin on Gallade's head resembles the helmet worn by {{wp|murmillo}}-class Roman {{wp|gladiator}}s, or the {{wp|Corinthian helmet}} with a horsehair crest worn by Greek {{wp|hoplite}}s, but it may also be based on medieval {{wp|knight}}s. Additionally, its battle stances in various media resemble the ''en garde'' position and parries of modern {{wp|fencing}}, while the elbow swords themselves have a close resemblance to {{wp|tonfa}}s, wooden bars held against the arm to act as batons and arm guards. The red piece on its chest may represent the heart, alluding to the empathic and protective nature of its evolutionary line mixed with {{wp|chivalry}} of a knight. Gallade's militaristic design may reference ''Sirnight'', Gardevoir's original name in Japanese.

Mega Gallade's cape is similar to a superhero cape or {{wp|matador}} or bullfighter's fabric.

====Name origin====
Gallade may be a combination of ''gallant'' and ''blade''.

Erureido may be a combination of エルフ ''elf'' and/or エルボー ''elbow'', and ブレイド ''blade''. It may also involve 居合道 ''{{wp|iaido|iaidō}}'', a Japanese martial art of responding to attacks with swift swordplay.

'''Honedge''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ヒトツキ''' ''Hitotsuki'') is a dual-type {{2t|Steel|Ghost}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation VI]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Doublade}} starting at [[level]] 35, which evolves into {{p|Aegislash}} when exposed to a [[Dusk Stone]].

==Biology==
Honedge is a {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that resembles a sword from medieval times. Its body is a silver sword with a light gray hilt. Embedded in the hilt is a blue gem with a dark center that appears to be its eye. Attached to the pommel is a long, dark blue cloth with a swirl design in lighter blue at the tip; the tip of the sash splits into four tassels. Honedge's sheath is dark brown with curved lines resembling a {{wp|triquetra}} across its surface. Near the top of the sheath are two rings and a hole that in conjunction with the shape of Honedge's blade create the illusion of a face, with eyes and a mouth. A third ring extends onto the hilt and encircles its actual eye.

Honedge is said to have been born when the departed spirit of a person inhabits the sword that killed them a long time ago. Its old cloth is prehensile, and it holds its sheath with it when battling. Honedge is known to attach itself to people and wrap its sash around their arm to suck their life energy completely if they dare to grab it by the hilt. The eye on its handguard is actually its true body. Honedge is a nocturnal species and typically resides in grassy plains.

====Trophy information====
'''NA:''' ''The origin of this Pokémon is a great ghost tale: it's said that Honedge are ancient swords possessed by a departed spirit. Should people try to grab the sword, Honedge will attack them or wrap its sash around their arm, slowly draining the life energy from their body. Moral of the story: be careful around ancient swords.''

'''PAL:''' ''There's a rather spooky tale behind this Pokémon's origins: apparently, it's an ancient sword possessed by a departed spirit. Honedge won't let anyone grip its hilt. If they try, it will attack them or wrap its sash around their arm and drain the life energy from their body! Yikes!''

==Trivia==
* Honedge and its evolved forms were designed by [[Hitoshi Ariga]].<ref>[http://hitoshiariga.deviantart.com/art/Pocket-Monsters-XY-413536751 Pocket Monsters XY by HitoshiAriga on deviantART]</ref>

===Origin===
Honedge appears to be based conceptually on a fully sentient, possessed {{wp|magic sword|magical sword}}. The fact that it starts off as an ordinary sword may mean it could be based on the {{wp|bushido}} mythos behind {{wp|katana}} use; katanas possessed the user {{wp|samurai}}'s soul and attacked of its own free will. In Japanese legends, any object left behind or forgotten by its owner can and will after a while become a {{wp|tsukumogami}}, and most commonly in legends, swords or umbrellas were the ones to attack humans. Considering it drains the life of those who wield it, it may have also been based on {{wp|Tyrfing}}, a cursed sword from Norse mythology. Visually, considering its build and hilt, Honedge seems to be based on either a {{wp|spatha}}, {{wp|claymore}}, or possibly {{wp|jian}} sword, with its own {{wp|scabbard}} and {{wp|Hilt#Sword_knot|tassel}}-like prehensile limb. The design on both Honedge and Doublade's sheath resembles that of a {{wp|triquetra}}, clearly depicted on Honedge and more ornately designed on Doublade's. Its shiny form resembles a blood-soaked sword.

====Name origin====
Honedge may be a combination of ''hone'', ''one'', and ''edge''.

Hitotsuki may be a combination of 一つ ''hitotsu'' (one) and 突き ''tsuki'' (stab, lunge, or thrust) or 憑き ''tsuki'' ({{wp|spirit possession}}).

====Trophy information====
'''NA:''' ''The origin of this Pokémon is a great ghost tale: it's said that Honedge are ancient swords possessed by a departed spirit. Should people try to grab the sword, Honedge will attack them or wrap its sash around their arm, slowly draining the life energy from their body. Moral of the story: be careful around ancient swords.''

'''PAL:''' ''There's a rather spooky tale behind this Pokémon's origins: apparently, it's an ancient sword possessed by a departed spirit. Honedge won't let anyone grip its hilt. If they try, it will attack them or wrap its sash around their arm and drain the life energy from their body! Yikes!''

==Trivia==
* Honedge and its evolved forms were designed by [[Hitoshi Ariga]].<ref>[http://hitoshiariga.deviantart.com/art/Pocket-Monsters-XY-413536751 Pocket Monsters XY by HitoshiAriga on deviantART]</ref>

===Origin===
Honedge appears to be based conceptually on a fully sentient, possessed {{wp|magic sword|magical sword}}. The fact that it starts off as an ordinary sword may mean it could be based on the {{wp|bushido}} mythos behind {{wp|katana}} use; katanas possessed the user {{wp|samurai}}'s soul and attacked of its own free will. In Japanese legends, any object left behind or forgotten by its owner can and will after a while become a {{wp|tsukumogami}}, and most commonly in legends, swords or umbrellas were the ones to attack humans. Considering it drains the life of those who wield it, it may have also been based on {{wp|Tyrfing}}, a cursed sword from Norse mythology. Visually, considering its build and hilt, Honedge seems to be based on either a {{wp|spatha}}, {{wp|claymore}}, or possibly {{wp|jian}} sword, with its own {{wp|scabbard}} and {{wp|Hilt#Sword_knot|tassel}}-like prehensile limb. The design on both Honedge and Doublade's sheath resembles that of a {{wp|triquetra}}, clearly depicted on Honedge and more ornately designed on Doublade's. Its shiny form resembles a blood-soaked sword.

====Name origin====
Honedge may be a combination of ''hone'', ''one'', and ''edge''.

Hitotsuki may be a combination of 一つ ''hitotsu'' (one) and 突き ''tsuki'' (stab, lunge, or thrust) or 憑き ''tsuki'' ({{wp|spirit possession}}).

'''Whirlipede''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ホイーガ''' ''Wheega'') is a dual-type {{2t|Bug|Poison}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation V]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Venipede}} starting at [[level]] 22 and evolves into {{p|Scolipede}} starting at level 30.

==Biology==
Whirlipede is an insectoid {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} encased in a hard, segmented shell. It has two pairs of purple, horn-like feelers with dark gray stripes, with one pair extended upward from its front and the other pointing downward from its lower rear. Two poisonous barbs flank either side of each segment of its shell. The shell itself is purple, with red rings in the middle of each segment and a darker gray border circling its open center. Whirlipede's eyes can be seen within the center, and have slitted pupils, yellow sclerae, and thick, gray eyelids.

Whirlipede remains motionless while storing energy for Evolution, but will move to stab approaching predators with its poisonous spikes. It is well-known for its aggressive disposition. If provoked, it can quickly spin its body like a wheel and crash furiously into opponents. It can move to about the speed of 60 mph.

===Evolution===
Whirlipede evolves from {{p|Venipede}} and evolves into {{p|Scolipede}}.

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

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

==Trivia==
* Like {{p|Spinda}}, its base stat total might be based on the fact that it and Spinda usually spin in circles, which are 360 degrees.
* Despite the Scolipede and {{p|Centiskorch}} evolutionary lines living in different parts of the [[Galar]] [[region]], both Venipede and Scolipede's [[Pokédex entry|Pokédex entries]] speak of their hostile relationship with the latter family.
* Whirlipede and its evolutionary relatives were designed by [[Tomohiro Kitakaze]].<ref>[https://twitter.com/kitakazeee/status/1123171470245367808 Tweet by 北風友裕 (@kitakazeee).] Posted on April 30, 2019.</ref>

===Origin===
{{Bulbanews|On the Origin of Species: Venipede, Whirlipede and Scolipede}}
Whirlipede may be based on {{wp|centipede}}s and curled up {{wp|pill millipede}}s, {{wp|Armadillidiidae|roly poly}}-like arthropods that curl up into a ball when in danger. It also resembles a rubber {{wp|tire}}.

====Name origin====
Whirlipede may be a combination of ''whirl'' and ''centipede'' or ''millipede''.

Wheega may be a combination of ''wheel'' and 毬 ''iga'' (sphere).

'''Whirlipede''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ホイーガ''' ''Wheega'') is a dual-type {{2t|Bug|Poison}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation V]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Venipede}} starting at [[level]] 22 and evolves into {{p|Scolipede}} starting at level 30.

==Biology==
Whirlipede is an insectoid {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} encased in a hard, segmented shell. It has two pairs of purple, horn-like feelers with dark gray stripes, with one pair extended upward from its front and the other pointing downward from its lower rear. Two poisonous barbs flank either side of each segment of its shell. The shell itself is purple, with red rings in the middle of each segment and a darker gray border circling its open center. Whirlipede's eyes can be seen within the center, and have slitted pupils, yellow sclerae, and thick, gray eyelids.

Whirlipede remains motionless while storing energy for Evolution, but will move to stab approaching predators with its poisonous spikes. It is well-regarded for its aggressive disposition. If provoked, it can quickly spin its body like a wheel and crash furiously into opponents. It can move to about the speed of 60 mph.

===Evolution===
Whirlipede evolves from {{p|Venipede}} and evolves into {{p|Scolipede}}.

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

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

==Trivia==
* Like {{p|Spinda}}, its base stat total might be based on the fact that it and Spinda usually spin in circles, which are 360 degrees.
* Despite the Scolipede and {{p|Centiskorch}} evolutionary lines living in different parts of the [[Galar]] [[region]], both Venipede and Scolipede's [[Pokédex entry|Pokédex entries]] speak of their hostile relationship with the latter family.
* Whirlipede and its evolutionary relatives were designed by [[Tomohiro Kitakaze]].<ref>[https://twitter.com/kitakazeee/status/1123171470245367808 Tweet by 北風友裕 (@kitakazeee).] Posted on April 30, 2019.</ref>

===Origin===
{{Bulbanews|On the Origin of Species: Venipede, Whirlipede and Scolipede}}
Whirlipede may be based on {{wp|centipede}}s and curled up {{wp|pill millipede}}s, {{wp|Armadillidiidae|roly poly}}-like arthropods that curl up into a ball when in danger. It also resembles a rubber {{wp|tire}}.

====Name origin====
Whirlipede may be a combination of ''whirl'' and ''centipede'' or ''millipede''.

Wheega may be a combination of ''wheel'' and 毬 ''iga'' (sphere).

'''Giratina''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ギラティナ''' ''Giratina'') is a dual-type {{2t|Ghost|Dragon}} [[Legendary Pokémon]] introduced in [[Generation IV]].

While it is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon, Giratina transforms from its standard [[#Form data|form]], called its '''Altered Forme''', into a second form, called its '''Origin Forme''', while either holding a [[Griseous Orb]] ([[Generation IV]] to [[Generation VIII]]), a [[Griseous Core]] (Generation VIII onward), or while in its home, the [[Distortion World]].

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

Giratina's Origin Forme was officially revealed in early February 2008.

Giratina is the [[game mascot]] of {{game|Platinum}}, appearing on the boxart in its Origin Forme.

Along with {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Palkia}}, it is one of the [[Pokémon of myth]], representing {{wp|antimatter}}.

==Biology==
[[File:487Giratina XY anime.png|thumb|left|200px|Altered Forme Giratina's wings shaped into claws]]
Giratina is a large gray draconic {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with three gold half-rings on each side of its long neck. Its head has a gold crown-like object surrounding it with two large horns pointing sideways. A thick black stripe runs vertically along its front with five red horizontal stripes. In its Altered Forme, it has two large black ghostly wings with three red tips on each that can resemble claws. These wings can change shape as if made of a liquid or gas. Its six legs are thick and have golden claws. Two golden half-circles similar to those on its neck are on each side of each leg, resembling shackles. It has a tail with two band-like markings.

According to the [[Sinnoh myths|myths and legends]] of the [[Hisui]]/[[Sinnoh]] [[region]], in the beginning of existence, the [[Mythical Pokémon]] {{p|Arceus}} created the [[Pokémon egg|eggs]] in which the Pokémon of antimatter–Giratina, the Pokémon of time–{{p|Dialga}}, and the Pokémon of space–{{p|Palkia}}, hatched from, all three in their {{form|Dialga, Palkia, and Giratina|Origin Formes}}. After the [[Pokémon universe]] was created, due to Giratina's violent nature, Arceus banished it to the [[Distortion World]], a world that lies on the reverse side of the [[Pokémon world]]. Since then, Giratina carried a strong grudge against its creator Arceus and was willing to stand against it with the help of a [[human]] named [[Volo]], but after being defeated by a [[Player character|human from another time]] and fleeing, it would change its ways to protect the {{pkmn|universe}} from threats such as [[Cyrus]], who had a similar goal to its former partner.

Giratina is highly aggressive and territorial, likely other reasons for its banishment. It has been reported to appear in ancient [[Death in the Pokémon world#Burial grounds|cemeteries]]. Giratina has the power to tear holes in reality, sometimes even creating a [[space-time distortion|space-time rift]], being so big and powerful that it can even throw both Dialga and Palkia into a frenzy. This rift might also spread smaller [[space-time distortion]]s all over the region it was created in, creating [[Alpha Pokémon]] and releasing bolts of lightning that throw [[noble Pokémon]] into a frenzy. It is also capable of {{m|Shadow Force|cloaking itself in darkness as it attacks}}. It generally moves by levitating itself in the air, as opposed to walking on its six legs. Giratina is said to be equal in strength to its siblings Dialga and Palkia.

Giratina is said to have observed the real world silently while in its home dimension. It remains in its Altered Forme while outside of its home [[dimension]]. Unlike in the games, [[Pokémon movie]]s depict Giratina only opening portals through reflective surfaces. Giratina also had many different titles throughout the years: "the banished Pokémon", "Arceus's shadow", "the Pokémon of Shadows", and "the being on the other side of our world".

Giratina is the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Shadow Force}} by leveling up.

===Forms===
[[File:487Giratina Origin Forme Dream 3.png|thumb|200px|Origin Forme Giratina's plate mask opened]]
Giratina can change between its Altered Forme and Origin Forme.

Compared to Palkia and Dialga, both of which resemble Arceus in their Origin Formes, Giratina's Origin Forme takes on a serpentine look. Its legs are reduced to golden-tipped spikes, and four additional golden spikes appear near the edge of its tail. While in Origin Forme, the six gold half-rings can grip objects. The back points of each half-ring have a black ghostly tendril with a red spike at its tip. The horns on its head are now facing the back. The sides of the golden "crown" cover its mouth and separate vertically like an insect's mandible when it opens its mouth. The black vertical stripe is broken into pieces and runs down its body.

The Origin Forme of Giratina is said to be Giratina's true form, capable of traveling through and controlling dimensions besides those of time and space. Giratina can retain its Origin Forme while in its home, the [[Distortion World]], or when holding either a [[Griseous Orb]] or [[Griseous Core]]. Giratina can also maintain its Origin Forme in the real world without items should it get a sufficient amount of power, enough to potentially be equal to Arceus. Giratina is at its full power when in the Origin Forme, and is always levitated in this state. When in its Origin Forme, it can pass through dimensions at will, although it will turn back to its Altered Forme due to the gravity change from the Distortion World. Giratina has the power to turn itself into a shadow and to merge the Distortion World with the [[Pokémon world]], as seen during the events of [[Spear Pillar]]. However, this has the dangerous side effect of distorting it to the risk of being destroyed. In [[Pokémon Adventures]], Giratina was shown to be capable of using the terrain of the Distortion World to encase and trap its targets.

===NPC appearances===
* {{g|Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness}}: Giratina is the guardian of the [[Seven Treasures|Rock Horn]].
* [[Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon]]: An illusion of Giratina is used by {{p|Solosis}} and {{p|Litwick}} when battling the children of [[Serene Village]] inside [[Ancient Barrow]]. The real Giratina appears as the guardian of the [[Looplet|Grass Looplet]] in the [[Grass Continent]]'s [[Zero Isle]].
* [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]]: [[Turnback Cave#Special encounters|Giratina]] is one of the major antagonists and a boss in the game. It is one of {{ga|Arceus}}'s creations alongside {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Palkia}}. In anger for being banished to the [[Distortion World]] by Arceus, it partnered up with a [[human]] named [[Volo]] and tore open a [[Space-time distortion|rift in space-time]] above [[Mount Coronet]] to try and force Arceus out of hiding.

* In [[Generation IV]] only, when Giratina is in its {{form|Giratina|Origin Forme}} due to holding the [[Griseous Orb]], it cannot have its [[Ability]] changed by any means (such as {{m|Skill Swap}} or {{m|Worry Seed}}). Giratina's Ability can still be copied (by {{a|Trace}} or {{m|Role Play}}) or suppressed by {{m|Gastro Acid}}. This effect is unrelated with the Ability itself. Giratina can still have its Ability changed when it is in {{form|Giratina|Altered Forme}}.

===Learnset===
Giratina is available in {{pkmn|Scarlet and Violet}}.

===Form data===
Along with the other members of the [[Pokémon of myth]], Giratina has the ability to switch to a second form: Origin Forme. However, Giratina is unique in that its standard form is called Altered Forme.

Giratina's Altered Forme debuted in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}, while its Origin Forme was introduced in {{game|Platinum}}. From Platinum to {{pkmn|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}}, it transforms into its Origin Forme while holding a [[Griseous Orb]]. In Platinum, it also transforms into its Origin Forme while in the [[Distortion World]]. In {{g|Legends: Arceus}}, it changes between its forms when exposed to a [[Griseous Core]]. In {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}, Giratina transforms into its Origin Forme while holding a Griseous Core. If it is deposited in {{g|HOME}}, it will revert to its Altered Forme.

In {{g|Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky}}, Giratina will appear in its Origin Forme while in the version-exclusive dungeons. In {{g|Super Mystery Dungeon}}, Giratina will cycle through Formes after being used in a dungeon.

{{Evobox/Formes
|name1=Giratina
|sprite1=0487Giratina
|forme1=Altered Forme
|loc1=Default form
|type1-1=Ghost
|type2-1=Dragon
|sprite2=0487Giratina-Origin
|forme2=Origin Forme
|loc2={{color2|000|Distortion World}} or {{color2|000|Held item|holding}} a {{color2|000|Griseous Core}}
|item1=Griseous Core
|itemfile1=Bag Griseous Core SV Sprite.png
|itemsize1=40px
}}

The forms differ in their [[base stats]]: Giratina's Origin Forme has its {{stat|Defense}} and {{stat|Special Defense}} switched with its {{stat|Attack}} and {{stat|Special Attack}} (its base stat total is unchanged). In Legends: Arceus, its [[signature move]], {{m|Shadow Force}}, has modified base power and accuracy when used by its Origin Forme, as well as a unique animation.

In Explorers of Sky, as the Pokémon's stats are calculated differently, the forms instead apply stat stage modifiers, with Altered Forme receiving -2 to its Attack and Special Attack, and +2 to its Defense and Special Defense, with those being swapped for Origin Forme. However, in the Japanese version only, the Defense stat modifiers are instead erroneously applied to the target Giratina is facing, making Altered Forme weaker than intended and Origin Forme stronger than intended.

[[File:Giratina Origin Forme anime.png|thumb|250px|Origin Forme Giratina in {{aniseries|PTS}}]]
====Major appearances====
=====[[Giratina (movie)]]=====
Giratina debuted in ''[[M11|Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]'', where it sought revenge against {{mov|Dialga}} for the damage it caused to its home, the [[Reverse World]], during its {{pkmn|battle}} with {{mov|Palkia}} in ''[[M10|The Rise of Darkrai]]''. [[Zero]] later attempted to copy Giratina's powers so he could conquer the Reverse World. Throughout the {{pkmn|movie}}, Giratina would take on its Origin Forme whenever it is in the Reverse World, and its Altered Forme whenever it is in the real world.

In ''[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]'', Giratina was shown for the first time with both the other members of [[Pokémon of myth|its trio]]. It resumed its attack on Dialga, but was finally calmed down through the intervention of {{Ash}} and [[Sheena]]. It later joined forces with Dialga and Palkia to fight {{OBP|Arceus|M12}}.

=====Other=====
In ''[[M18|Hoopa and the Clash of Ages]]'', Giratina was one of six [[Legendary Pokémon]] summoned and hypnotized by the shadow {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Hoopa|Hoopa Unbound}} as its reinforcements. It and its teammates engaged in a battle against the {{p|Latios}}, {{p|Latias}}, and {{Shiny}} {{p|Rayquaza}} summoned to protect the real {{an|Hoopa}} in [[Dahara City]]. Eventually, after the shadow Hoopa was sealed in a [[Prison Bottle]], the hypnosis on Giratina and the other Legendary Pokémon was lifted, and Giratina departed for its home. It appeared in both of its formes.

====Minor appearances====
Giratina made its animated series debut in ''[[DP148|Try for the Family Stone!]]'' as an illusion that was created by {{OBP|Mitchell|DP148}}'s {{p|Murkrow}}.

In ''[[DP173|Dealing With a Fierce Double Ditto Drama!]]'', {{MTR}}'s [[boss fantasy]] featured Giratina.

===Pokémon Generations===
[[File:Giratina Altered Forme PG.png|thumb|left|250px|Altered Forme Giratina in [[Pokémon Generations]]]]
[[File:Giratina Origin Forme PG.png|thumb|250px|Origin Forme Giratina in Pokémon Generations]]
In ''[[PG11|The New World]]'', Giratina interfered with [[Cyrus]]'s plan to destroy the world and recreate it. It first emerged from the [[Distortion World]] to free {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Palkia}} from the [[Red Chain]]. Then, it took Cyrus with it back to its homeworld. It was last seen in its {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Giratina|Origin Forme}}, observing Cyrus as he regained consciousness, realized he was in the Distortion World, and accepted it as the new world he sought.

===GOTCHA!===
A Giratina briefly appeared in its Origin Forme as a silhouette in [[GOTCHA!]].

Altered Forme Giratina appears as a {{i|Poké Ball}} summon. It uses {{m|Dragon Breath}} to cause a whirlwind. It also causes damage on contact.

Altered Forme Giratina also appears as a trophy in both versions of the game.

====Trophy information====
'''NA''': ''This {{t|Ghost}}/{{type|Dragon}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} is a resident of the [[Distortion World]]. When it is given a [[Griseous Orb]], it'll change into its Origin Forme. Its {{m|Dragon Breath}} attack can catch fighters in a powerful, damaging tornado. If you're on the receiving end, be careful it doesn't carry you right off the stage''

[[File:Giratina SSBU.png|thumb|250px|Giratina in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]
'''PAL''': ''Also called the Renegade Pokémon, Giratina lives in a [[dimension]] known as the Distortion World. It has two forms, and will only be seen in its Origin Forme in our world if it's holding a Griseous Orb. Its Dragon Breath attack creates a powerful tornado that not only damages you, but can carry you off the stage!''

===[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]===
Giratina returns as a Poké Ball summon, retaining its behavior from the previous game. Giratina cannot be summoned on Balloon Fight, Brinstar, Corneria, Dream Land GB, Golden Plains, Green Hill Zone, Jungle Japes, Living Room, Mute City SNES, Reset Bomb Forest, Suzaku Castle, Tomodachi Life, Tortimer Island, WarioWare Inc., or Yoshi's Island. It also appears as two {{sbw|Spirits}}, one in its Altered Forme, which can be enhanced into its Origin Forme.

[[File:Altered Forme Giratina Encounter Pt.png|thumb|Altered Forme Giratina at [[Turnback Cave]] in Pokémon Platinum]]

** In {{v2|Platinum}}, it has its own unique battle music, can change forms between {{form|Giratina|Altered Forme and Origin Forme}}, and has two different menu sprites.
** It is the only member without any double resistances.
** Its {{stat|HP}} is its highest [[stat]] rather than {{stat|Special Attack}}.
** It does not have a [[Pokémon of myth orbs|Pokémon of myth orb]] in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}} (the [[Griseous Orb]] was introduced in Pokémon Platinum).
** It is met at level 70 in Pokémon Diamond and Pearl while the other members are met at [[level]] 47. This is reversed in Pokémon Platinum.
** It is separated from the other members of its group in the [[Pokédex]] by {{p|Heatran}} and {{p|Regigigas}}.
** It is the only member without a 100% [[Recruitment|recruit rate]] in the {{g|Mystery Dungeon}} series.
** It is the only member whose box art differs from its official art released with Diamond and Pearl.
* Giratina's encounter in the [[Distortion World]] in Pokémon Platinum has several distinctions from other {{pkmn|battle}}s:
** At the start of the battle, it uniquely descends from the top of the screen, and is accompanied by the unique message "The Distortion World's Giratina appeared!". It is still a [[wild Pokémon]] despite the unique message.
** No platform is displayed beneath Giratina, and it does not have a shadow until it uses {{m|Shadow Force}} or breaks out of a [[Poké Ball]].
* Giratina is tied with {{p|Lunala}}, {{form|Necrozma|Dawn Wings}} {{p|Necrozma}}, and {{form|Calyrex|Shadow Rider}} {{p|Calyrex}} for the highest base stat total of all {{type|Ghost}} Pokémon.
** Giratina is tied with {{p|Drifblim}} for the highest base {{stat|HP}} stat of all Ghost-type Pokémon.
* Giratina is the only Legendary Pokémon that can be obtained in all five of the Generation IV [[core series]] handheld games.
* In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, the second frame of Giratina's Altered Forme sprite was changed, but the static sprite remained the same.
** This sprite is also present in Pokémon Platinum's data, but is unused.
* In {{2v2|Black|White|2}}, [[Fantina]] has an Origin Forme Giratina without a Griseous Orb in [[The Battle Between Legendary Pokémon]].
* Altered Forme Giratina is the [[List of Pokémon by weight|heaviest]] Ghost-type Pokémon and the only {{type|Dragon}} Pokémon {{DL|List of Pokémon by shape|Pokémon with tentacles or a multiped body|with a multiped body}}.
** Origin Forme Giratina is both the [[List of Pokémon by height|tallest]] Ghost-type Pokémon and the tallest {{cat|Generation IV Pokémon}}.
* In {{g|Legends: Arceus}}, {{Shiny}} Giratina in its Origin Forme causes a game crash when using {{m|Shadow Force}}. This bug has yet to be fixed.
* The symbols for the {{TCG|Platinum}} expansion [[File:SetSymbolPlatinum.png|30px]] and the {{TCG|Lost Origin}} expansion [[File:SetSymbolLost Origin.png|30px]] resemble Giratina's Origin Forme, seen from the front.

===Origin===
According to [[Junichi Masuda]] and [[Takeshi Kawachimaru]], Giratina and the [[Distortion World]] are personifications of {{wp|antimatter}}.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20120924075934/http://www.g4tv.com/thefeed/blog/post/694081/junichi-masuda-takeshi-kawachimaru-talk-pokemon-platinum-particle-physics-bridges-and-more/ Junichi Masuda & Takeshi Kawachimaru Talk 'Pokemon Platinum', Particle Physics, Bridges, And More! - G4tv.com (archived)]</ref>

Giratina may also draw inspiration from {{wp|fallen angel}}s, celestial beings that rebelled against God and were excommunicated to Hell — analogous to Giratina being exiled by {{p|Arceus}} to another [[dimension]] due to its belligerent nature. Furthermore, it might allude to {{wp|Samael}}, who is the ruler of the 5th Heaven and has grim and destructive duties whilst being a member of a heavenly host.

In its Altered Forme, Giratina resembles a {{wp|European dragon}} or {{wp|sauropod}}. It also shares similarities with some ''{{wp|kaiju}}'' depictions in popular media. Its wings may be based on a bat's, and its body has an insect-like six-legged feature.

Origin Forme Giratina's serpentine body may be based on a {{wp|Chinese dragon}}, an {{wp|Amphiptere}}, or an ''{{wp|Ōmukade|Oomukade}}'', a giant centipede with dragon-like features, said to prey on dragon and be as large as a mountain. It may also be based on a {{wp|Seraph}}, a class of angels known for its six wings and, in some depictions, a serpentine body. Similarly, it also shares some similarities with other serpents or dragon-like creatures in Abrahamic religions, such as the {{wp|Serpents in the Bible#Ancient serpent|ancient serpent}} or the {{wp|Leviathan}}. The design of its six wings may be based on a {{wp|scorpion}}'s stinger or {{wp|spider}} legs.

Additionally, Its {{t|Ghost}} [[type]] may parallel its counterparts' type: {{p|Palkia}} is part {{type|Water}}, and {{p|Dialga}} is part {{type|Steel}} — all three may reference the three primary {{wp|State of matter|states of matter}}; gas, liquid, and solid.

====Name origin====
Giratina may be derived from ''platina'' (Spanish for ''platinum''). It may also involve ''guilty'', ''{{wp|guillotine}}'', ギラリ ''girari'' (onomatopoeia for glaring), and possibly ''girasol'' (a type of {{wp|opal}}).

'''Pyroar''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''カエンジシ''' ''Kaenjishi'') is a dual-type {{2t|Fire|Normal}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation VI]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Litleo}} starting at [[level]] 35.

Pyroar can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into '''Mega Pyroar''' using the [[Pyroarite]]. Mega Pyroar was introduced in [[Pokémon Legends: Z-A]].

==Biology==
[[File:Pyroar Pokécology.png|250px|thumb|left|The pride hunting strategy utilized by Pyroar.]]
Pyroar is a quadrupedal, leonine {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. It is mostly dark brown with light brown legs, tail tip, chest, and face. It has a rounded muzzle with a dark brown nose, round ears with dark brown interiors, bright blue eyes, and a dark brown stripe behind each eye. The fur around its thighs is longer and each paw has three toes. There is a tuft of longer fur on the tip of its tail. A male Pyroar has a large, predominantly red mane with gold streaks forming a pattern resembling the ''Daimonji'' symbol (大) and the symbol for fire (火). In contrast, a female has a long, gold and red crest-like mane extending from its forehead. Female Pyroar significantly outnumber their male counterparts. The female's mane is as long as its whole body, and the light brown on its front legs extends all the way to its shoulders. The light brown fur on the male's front legs only extends up to its elbows.

Like real-life lions, Pyroar live in prides, which are led by the male with the largest mane. The pride's females protect the {{p|Litleo}} cubs and teach them how to hunt. The females also work together to bring down prey, ensuring the pride never goes hungry. A male Pyroar is usually lazy, but will protect its friends at the risk of its own well-being. In battle, the male Pyroar's mane can heat up to over 3,600 degrees Fahrenheit (2,000 degrees Celsius), which can cause severe burns when approached. Pyroar viciously threatens any challenger with a fiery breath exceeding 10,000 degrees Fahrenheit (6,000 degrees Celsius). However, it prefers its meat raw and does not use its breath on its prey. Pyroar is a diurnal species and typically lives in grassy plains and mountainsides.

Prior to [[Generation VII]], Pyroar and its pre-evolved form, Litleo, were the [[signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Noble Roar}}.

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

As Mega Pyroar, its mane becomes massively enlarged, flaring out in multiple directions from its head. Each tuft of its mane is red with a yellow stripe. The bottom portion of its mane retains the ''Daimonji'' symbol (大), while the top of its mane rests wholly above its head and forms the kanji symbol for fire (火). The topmost tuft of Mega Pyroar's mane extends to the back. Other visual changes gained by Mega Pyroar include red markings on its cheeks, the fur on its thighs flaring up higher, the fur on its feet receding slightly, and the tip of its tail taking on a more flame-like shape. Unlike regular Pyroar, there is no gender difference between male and female Mega Pyroar.

The energy of Mega Evolution has increased the temperature of Pyroar's fiery breath from 10,000 degrees Fahrenheit (6,000 degrees Celsius) to 18,000 degrees Fahrenheit (10,000 degrees Celsius). In battle, it protects its allies by swinging around its enlarged mane at opponents.

====Trophy information====
'''NA''': ''The cute {{p|Litleo}} with a red tuft of fur evolves into the majestic-looking Pyroar. Male Pyroar have huge, fiery manes. In the wild, the male with the largest mane of fire becomes the leader. Female Pyroar have long manes and will fiercely protect the pride's cubs.''

'''PAL''': ''{{p|Litleo}}, that adorable little Pokémon with a red tuft of fur, evolves into the majestic Pyroar. Males have huge fiery manes, and the one has the biggest mane is the leader of the pride. Females, on the other hand, have long, flowing manes and play the vital role of protecting the pride's cubs.''
{{-}}

==Trivia==
* Pyroar and {{p|Litleo}} have several unique distinctions:
** They are the only Pokémon with {{a|Moxie}} to favor {{stat|Special Attack}} over physical {{stat|Attack}}, despite the former being its highest stat.
** No other {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} has the same [[type]] [[List of Pokémon with unique type combinations|combination]] as them.
** No other Pokémon has the same [[List of Pokémon by gender ratio|gender ratio]] — [[:Category:Pokémon with a gender ratio of one male to seven females|one male to seven females]] — as them.
* Pyroar and Litleo are the first Pokémon to be classed with the {{type|Normal}} as their secondary type (not counting [[regional form]]s of Pokémon from prior [[generation]]s).
* Pyroar is the only Pokémon with a major female ratio to have [[List of Pokémon with gender differences|gender differences]].
* Pyroar shares its {{pkmn|category}} with {{p|Slowking}}. They are both known as the Royal Pokémon.
* Mega Pyroar is the [[List of Pokémon with unique base stat totals|only Pokémon]] with a base stat total of 607.
* Female Pyroar is featured on the emblem of the [[Rouge District]] in [[Lumiose City]].

===Design variations===
Although the male Pyroar has a chevron-shaped nose in its official artwork and in {{g|Battle Trozei}}, most other merchandise, game, and animated depictions show it with a more triangular-shaped nose, closer to that of the female. As an example, Pyroar's key art and appearance in the {{pkmn|animated series}} can be seen below. For more images, see [[a:Category:Pyroar|Pyroar images on the Bulbagarden Archives]].
<gallery heights=150 widths=200>
0668Pyroar-Male.png|Key art
Pyroar gender difference anime.png|In {{aniseries|XY}}
</gallery>

===Origin===
Pyroar appears to be based on a lion. The style of its fur, in particular the spiked areas on its limbs and tail, is more than likely a reference to {{wp|Lion (heraldry)|stylized lions in heraldry and coat of arms}}, while the male's mane resembles {{wp|Escutcheon (heraldry)|escutcheon}}s, which would bear heraldic lions. The yellow pattern on the male's mane is similar in shape to the ''Daimonji'', a bonfire lit during the Japanese festival {{wp|Gozan no Okuribi}} in the shape of the symbol 大 (meaning ''great'' or ''large''). The shape also resembles the kanji for fire (火), as written in certain (often calligraphic) styles. Mega Pyroar's mane resembles the kanji 炎 (meaning for ''flame'').

Pyroar's [[:Category:Pokémon with a gender ratio of one male to seven females|gender ratio]] resembles lion prides, which consist of one primary male lion, several females, and one or two lesser males.

====Name origin====
Pyroar may be a combination of ''[[wiktionary:pyro-|pyro-]]'' (prefix pertaining to fire) and ''roar''.

Kaenjishi may be a combination of 火炎 ''kaen'' (flame) and 獅子 ''shishi'' (lion).

History of Pokémon

2025-11-25T12:40:52Z

Doomdorm64:

:''This article is about the history of the Pokémon media franchise. For other uses of "history", see [[History]].''
----
[[File:Satoshi Tajiri dolls.jpg|thumb|Satoshi Tajiri]]
The '''history of the Pokémon media franchise''' spans nearly three decades from when work began officially on the first game to now, and has roots even older. It started simply enough as a hobby of [[Satoshi Tajiri]], who as a child had a fondness for catching {{wp|insect}}s and {{wp|tadpole}}s near his home in suburban {{wp|Tokyo}}. Over time, Tajiri decided to put his idea of catching creatures into practice, to give children the same thrills he had as a child.

'''Pokémania'''<ref>''"Is there any relief from Pokémania? More importantly, do gamers want any?"'' - Nintendo Power 120 (May 1999), page 10</ref> refers to the widespread popularity of the Pokémon franchise.

==Early days==
[[File:Shigeru Miyamoto.jpg|thumb|left|200px|Shigeru Miyamoto]]
With the help of [[Ken Sugimori]] and other friends, Tajiri formed [[Game Freak]] and much later the design studio known as [[Creatures, Inc.|Creatures]]. When Tajiri discovered the [[Game Boy]] and the [[Game Link Cable|Game Boy Game Link Cable]], it gave him the image of insects traveling along the wire. Tajiri was also heavily influenced by the {{wp|Ultraman}} fantasy television show, [[wp:Ultra Seven|Ultra Seven]], in which the protagonist used giant monsters contained within small capsules to help him fight. Together, these two sources gave him the idea for a new game called ''[[Capsule Monsters]]''.<ref>http://www.glitterberri.com/pokemon-red-blue/early-concept-art/</ref> After several failed attempts at pitching this idea to [[Nintendo]], Tajiri's new friend [[Shigeru Miyamoto]] pitched it to the company, and Nintendo began to fund the project, spending six years developing the games that would become a worldwide sensation. Due to trademarking issues, the name "Capsule Monsters" was changed to "Pocket Monsters".<ref>[http://bivio.web.fc2.com/column_poke_10th.html ポケモン10周年記念コラム]</ref>

The original artwork for the games was drawn by Tajiri's friend, artist [[Ken Sugimori]], while the music and sound effects were composed by [[Junichi Masuda]].

After debugging was completed, [[Shigeki Morimoto]] programmed {{p|Mew}} into the game. However, [[Game Freak]] planned to keep the 151st Pokémon hidden from the public unless it was needed for a post-launch event.<ref>[http://www.nintendodsi.com/iwata-asks-chapter.jsp?interviewId=6&volumeId=1&chapterId=1 Iwata Asks: Pokémon HeartGold Version & SoulSilver Version]</ref>

The project nearly drove [[Game Freak]] to bankruptcy. Five employees quit due to the financial conditions, and Tajiri worked many unpaid hours.<ref>[http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,34342-3,00.html Beware of the Pokemania]</ref>

==Generation I==
===Taking over Japan===
[[File:Green JP boxart.png|thumb|200px|Pokémon Green box art]]The first [[Pokémon games]], [[Pokémon Red and Green Versions]], came to the [[Nintendo]] [[Game Boy]] system in Japan on February 27, 1996, which was the fulfillment of Satoshi Tajiri's dream and allowed people of all ages to [[Caught Pokémon|catch]], [[Pokémon training|train]] and [[trade]] {{cat|Generation I Pokémon|151 creatures}} and become a [[Pokémon Master]].

Initially, the Pokémon games had modest sales. However, after players discovered {{p|Mew}} in the games, the magazine [[CoroCoro]] announced a "Legendary Pokémon Offer" to distribute Mew to twenty entrants. The contest received 78,000 entrants, and the sales of the Pokémon games quickly increased.<ref>[http://www.nintendodsi.com/iwata-asks-chapter.jsp?interviewId=6&volumeId=1&chapterId=1 Iwata Asks: Pokémon HeartGold Version & SoulSilver Version]</ref> Due to high sales, Pokémon Red and Green were swiftly followed up with [[Pokémon Blue Version (Japanese)|Pokémon Blue]], which had improved graphics and sounds.

After the games, a [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] was developed by Media Factory with its own set of rules. The {{TCG|Base Set|first set}} of cards was released on October 20, 1996, containing 102 cards, and became very popular.

The franchise also won many {{pkmn|manga}} interpretations, the first being ''[[Pokémon Pocket Monsters]]'' by [[Kosaku Anakubo]], which was first {{Vol|Pokémon Pocket Monsters|1|collected and published}} in November 1996 by [[Shogakukan]]. This was chiefly a gag manga, using crude humor and slapstick, starring a Trainer named {{PPM|Red}} and his rude {{TP|Red|Clefairy}}.

The popularity of the franchise also led to an {{pkmn|animated series}} based on the games, [[EP001|premiering]] in Japan on April 1, 1997. The main character was a young [[Pokémon Trainer]] named ''Satoshi'' (after [[Satoshi Tajiri]], later dubbed in English to [[Ash Ketchum]]), based on {{ga|Red}}. Another character introduced in the first episode was Satoshi's [[rival]], ''Shigeru'' (after [[Shigeru Miyamoto]], later dubbed in English to [[Gary Oak]]), based on {{ga|Blue}}.

The animated series quickly became very popular, and soon a manga series based on it named [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]] was written by [[Toshihiro Ono]]. The {{vol|Electric Tale of Pikachu|1|first volume}} of the series was first published on October 28, 1997. The more famous manga in the western world, however, is [[Pokémon Adventures]], with the {{PAV|1|first volume}} being published in Japan on August 8, 1997. It was one of the most successful Pokémon manga, with 150,000 copies sold worldwide. It is also the longest running manga in Pokémon history based on its starting date. Several other manga series were published in that era, including ''[[Pokémon Zensho]]'' and [[Miho Asada]]'s [[Pokémon: Yeah! I Got Pokémon!]].

In addition to these manga series, [[Shogakukan]] also published the first volume of ''[[Pokémon Wonderland]]'', a magazine with the latest information on the franchise, on August 23, 1997. They also released a new manga series named ''Pokémon PiPiPi ★ Adventures'' (later translated to ''[[Magical Pokémon Journey]]''), authored by [[Yumi Tsukirino]], on March 28, 1998. The main difference in this series was that is was aimed mainly towards girls.

On April 25, 1998, the first [[Pokémon Center (store)|Pokémon Center store]] was opened in Tokyo, a chain of official stores that specialize in [[Pokémon merchandise]]. Along the way, [[The Pokémon Company]] began its operations. Many Pokémon Center stores were opened in later years, and today there are many Pokémon Center stores across Japan, as well as one store in Singapore and Taiwan. Historically there was a [[Pokémon Center New York|Pokémon Center in New York]], but in 2005 it was replaced by the Nintendo World store (later renamed Nintendo New York), although the store retained a Pokémon section.

===Conquering the world===
[[File:Ash OS 1.png|thumb|200px|left|Ash Ketchum in the [[original series]]]]
Due to Pokémon's success in Japan, the series was released overseas. Before the games were released in North America, the localization team attempted to change the Pokémon designs, fearing that the cute designs would not appeal to western gamers; however, the proposal was refused.<ref>[http://www.nintendo.co.jp/nom/0007/taidan1/page03.html スペシャル対談／３]</ref><ref>''"[Mr. Yamauchi] indicated that the games would be customized for western markets, a process that should include new art for many of the monsters."'' Nintendo Power 104 (January 1998) p. 38 (retrieved December 21, 2010)</ref> On the other hand, [[Nintendo]] originally did not intend to allow for localized {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} names (due to having to register more trademarks), but were eventually convinced by the French translation team to do so.<ref name=Bardakoff>[https://www.liberation.fr/apps/2016/06/pokemon/ Libération: Pokémon, traduisez-les tour].</ref> North America received {{2v|Red|Blue}}, as well as the {{pkmn|animated series}}, in September 1998 (the animated series on the 7th and the games on the 28th), and soon everywhere else began to play the games on the Game Boy under the slogan ''[[Gotta Catch 'em All!]]''. The {{pkmn|Trading Card Game}} was also introduced to North America on January 9, 1999 by [[Wizards of the Coast]]. [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]] became the first [[Pokémon manga]] to be translated to English when [[VIZ Media]] started publishing it on September 28, 1999.

Meanwhile in Japan in 1998, a new spin-off game, {{jpn|Pokémon Stadium}}, was released for [[Nintendo 64]]. This game featured only 42 Pokémon of the full 151. This game proved to be commercially and critically unsuccessful, though its sequel, originally planned for the [[Nintendo 64DD]], [[Pokémon Stadium|received an international release]].

The animated series, on the other hand, pushed the franchise to new heights. On July 18, 1998, ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'' debuted in Japanese theaters, featuring the rare {{p|Mew}} and {{p|Mewtwo}}. In the United States, where it was released on November 10, 1999, the movie even briefly held the record for highest-grossing opening for an animated film.

Plans soon started for a game based on the popular animated series and {{v|Yellow}} was released September 12, 1998 in Japan, October 25, 1999 in North America and Europe. Pokémon Yellow allowed Trainers to take on the role of {{Ash}} and travel through [[Kanto]] with animated series-style graphics for each Pokémon and a {{OBP|Pikachu|Yellow}} by their side, following the course of events of the animated series.

===Expanding to spin-offs===
On December 18, 1998 a [[Pokémon Trading Card Game (video game)|Game Boy game based on the TCG]] was released, later arriving in North America on April 10, 2000. It was followed, only in Japan, a year later by a sequel titled [[Pokémon Trading Card Game 2: The Invasion of Team GR!]].

The {{pkmn|animated series}}, as well as {{game|Yellow}}, marked {{p|Pikachu}} as the most popular and recognized creatures in Pokémon history, turning it into the franchise's mascot. This led to a small spin-off game called [[Hey You, Pikachu!]], which was released in Japan on December 12, 1998, and in North America on November 6, 2000. This was a virtual-pet game, utilizing the [[Nintendo 64]]'s Voice Recognition Unit to let the players interact verbally with Pikachu.

When the animated series finished following the games' story with {{Ash}}'s defeat in the [[Pokémon League]] in January 1999, it [[EP081|started]] a [[S02|new season]] in a new region called the [[Orange Islands]], introducing the new main character of [[Tracey Sketchit]]. During this season's time, a second movie, ''[[M02|The Power of One]]'', was produced. It was first in Japanese theaters on July 17, 1999, and in North American theaters on July 21, 2000.

A non-traditional spin-off game for [[Nintendo 64]], {{g|Snap}}, was released in Japan on March 21, 1999, inviting the player (in the role of {{Todd}}) to a Pokémon photographing mission in a place called [[Pokémon Island]]. This game made its way to North America on July 27, 1999.

On April 14, 1999, a spin-off pinball game for the [[Game Boy Color]] was released, called {{g|Pinball}}. This game took all the mechanics of regular pinball, with some Pokémon aspects added in. Its North American release was on June 28, 1999.

[[File:Pokemon Live cover.png|thumb|200px|''Pokémon Live!'' CD cover art]]
A sequel to {{jpn|Pokémon Stadium}} was also eventually released in Japan on April 30, 1999, and became a success. This game reached North America on February 29, 2000, and became known there as the original [[Pokémon Stadium]]. The twist in the {{pkmn|Stadium series}} from the [[core series]] was that it featured the Pokémon in 3D.

In September 2000, the {{aniseries|PTS}}-based puzzle game {{g|Puzzle League}} was released for [[Nintendo 64]]. This game was the only Pokémon game to be made specifically for western audiences and not be released in Japan.

However, this was not the only American-made original Pokémon material. From 2000 to 2002, a ''Pokémon the Series''-based musical called ''[[Pokémon Live!]]'' was shown on stages around the world. The most memorable plot point in the musical was the revelation that {{Ash}}'s mother, {{Delia}}, used to be a friend of {{an|Giovanni}} when they were younger. The musical isn't considered [[canon]], but it sparked endless theories among fans regarding the identity of Ash's father.
{{-}}

==Generation II==
===Winds of new beginnings===
[[File:JohtoII.png|thumb|200px|left|A map of Johto]]
Almost since the very beginning of the series, it had been apparent that the first 151 Pokémon would not be the last. {{p|Ho-Oh}} was seen as early as [[EP001|the first episode of the animated series]], {{TP|Misty|Togepi|Togetic}} was owned by a {{an|Misty|main character}}, and others like {{p|Marill}}, {{p|Snubbull}}, and {{p|Donphan}} were seen in [[M01|the first movie]]. Later, when [[Generation II|the second generation]] of Pokémon was drawing nearer, others like {{p|Lugia}}, {{p|Slowking}}, and {{p|Elekid}} made their way to [[M02|the second movie]].

On November 21, 1999, Nintendo of Japan released {{2v|Gold|Silver}} for the then-new [[Game Boy Color]]. This time, {{pkmn|Trainer}}s were invited to the land of [[Johto]], where {{cat|Generation II Pokémon|100 more Pokémon}} were waiting to be captured. The new games enhanced the Pokémon gaming experience by adding many new features, the most famous likely being the ability for Pokémon to have different [[gender]]s, in turn allowing them to {{pkmn|breeding|breed}}. A [[time]] system was also introduced, with a real-time clock allowing different events to happen during the day, at night, and in the morning, as well as on certain [[days of the week]]. Another important addition was the [[friendship]] system. [[Shiny Pokémon]] also first appeared, most notably a [[Red Gyarados]] at the [[Lake of Rage]]. Trainers could also return to [[Kanto]] and face the [[Gym Leader]]s that were present in the original games. Pokémon Gold and Silver made its way to North America on October 11, 2000.

The {{pkmn|animated series}} followed, of course, and {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} also arrived at Johto in [[EP117|an episode]] that aired in Japan on October 14, 1999 and in the US on October 14, 2000. ''[[M03|Spell of the Unown: Entei]]'' was then released to theaters on July 8, 2000 in Japan and on April 6, 2001 in North America, featuring the Legendary {{p|Entei}}.

A new trading card set called {{TCG|Neo Genesis}} featured the first Generation II Pokémon to the {{pkmn|Trading Card Game}}. It was released in Japan on December 10, 1999 and in the United States on December 16, 2000.

A sequel to {{g|Puzzle League}} was released on September 21, 2000 for [[Game Boy Color]], this time in Japan, titled {{g|Puzzle Challenge}}. It made its way to North America on December 4, 2000.

On December 14, 2000, {{g|Stadium 2|a sequel to the Stadium series was released in Japan}}, bringing the [[Generation II]] Pokémon into full 3D for the first time. This game reached North America on March 25, 2001.

Like Pokémon Yellow, a [[core series|third version]] was made called {{game|Crystal}}, which was released in Japan on December 14, 2000 and in North America on July 21, 2001. Pokémon Crystal had several notable changes from Gold and Silver. {{p|Suicune}} was the [[game mascot]] and the focus of the plot. Crystal was also the first portable Pokémon game to feature animations for every Pokémon. Trainers in Japan received the added bonus of being able to trade, battle, and even obtain the [[Legendary Pokémon]] {{p|Celebi}} wirelessly by using a cell phone to connect to the [[Mobile System GB]]. Trainers were also, for the first time, allowed to choose their character's [[gender]].

===Animated series and manga in GS===
[[File:Pokémon Adventures VIZ volume 8.png|thumb|200px|Volume 8 of the Pokémon Adventures manga]]
[[File:Mewtwo Returns DVD US.png|thumb|left|200px|DVD Cover for Mewtwo Returns]]
On December 30, 2000, the first feature-length special of the [[Pokémon animated series]] was released in Japan as a sequel to ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'', titled ''[[Mewtwo Returns]]''. It was later released on DVD in the United States on December 5, 2001.

In June 2000, a {{pkmn|manga}} series by [[Muneo Saitō]] titled ''[[Pokémon Gold & Silver: The Golden Boys]]'' was published in Japan. This manga followed the plot of the [[Generation II]] games, before abruptly ending after three volumes with very little resolution. Another new manga series by [[Takashi Teshirogi]] called ''[[Ash & Pikachu]]'', based on the new seasons of the animated series, was published on February 26, 2001.

Another [[Pokémon movie]], ''[[M04|Celebi: The Voice of the Forest]]'', debuted in theaters in Japan on July 7, 2001, and in North America on October 25, 2002. It featured two [[Legendary Pokémon]] prominent in {{game|Crystal}}: {{p|Celebi}} and {{p|Suicune}}.

The [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga finally caught up to the second generation on August 8, 2001, when {{PAV|8}} was published in Japan, starting the {{MangaArc|Gold, Silver & Crystal}}. This arc was much longer than the previous arcs of the series, lasting no less than 7 full volumes.

{{p|Raikou}}, the only member of the [[Legendary beasts]] yet to be featured in a Pokémon movie at the time, received its own made-for-TV special, ''[[The Legend of Thunder!]]'', on December 30, 2001. This special didn't feature {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}}, but rather new characters based on the [[player character]]s of the second generation.

On July 13, 2002, the fifth and final movie of the [[original series]], ''[[M05|Pokémon Heroes: Latios & Latias]]'', was released in Japanese theaters. Distributed on limited release by [[Miramax Films]], it opened in select American theaters on May 16, 2003.
{{-}}

==Generation III==
===Advancing to a new age===
[[File:EP205.png|left|200px|thumb|The first Kecleon]]
In July 2001 [[EP205|an episode]] of the {{pkmn|animated series}} aired in Japan featuring a Pokémon [[New Pokémon|never previously seen]] - {{p|Kecleon}}. Soon, Kecleon and others like {{p|Wynaut}}, {{p|Azurill}}, {{p|Duskull}}, and {{p|Volbeat}} showed up in theaters in two [[PK10|Pikachu]] [[PK11|shorts]] while {{p|Wailmer}}, {{p|Latias}}, and {{p|Latios}} were featured in [[M05|the fifth]] Pokémon movie. During the [[Silver Conference]] Ash battled {{jo|Harrison}}, a Trainer from [[Littleroot Town]] in [[Hoenn]]. [[Professor Birch]], along {{p|Poochyena|with}} {{p|Lotad|other}} {{p|Sharpedo|Pokémon}}, made a cameo in ''[[EP272|Johto Photo Finish]]''. Through this, it became known that the next generation of Pokémon was just around the corner.

Indeed, a major overhaul of the main game series occurred when Pokémon arrived on the [[Game Boy Advance]] on November 21, 2002 when {{2v|Ruby|Sapphire}} were released in Japan. Trainers found themselves in the southern land called [[Hoenn]] where {{cat|Generation III Pokémon|135 new Pokémon}} were waiting to be discovered. The games reached North America on March 18, 2003 and had many new features, the most prominent being [[Pokémon Contest]]s, [[Double Battle]]s, Pokémon {{Abilities}} and [[Nature]]s for each Pokémon, along with the reform of [[effort values]] and [[individual values]]. Also introduced in these versions were more types of [[weather]] and two new [[villainous team]]s, [[Team Magma]] and [[Team Aqua]]. Due to the extensive changes to the system, however, this generation was not compatible with earlier generations.

[[File:AG series poster.png|thumb|200px|A poster for {{aniseries|AG}}]]
The animated series began a new [[series]], {{aniseries|AG}}, which [[AG001|started]] in Japan on the same day as the release of the games and reached North America almost a year later. A great deal was changed in this series, including the introduction of a new main character, {{an|May}}, based on her game counterpart. Two new movies were produced during the time in [[Hoenn]]: ''[[M06|Jirachi: Wish Maker]]'' (which was released on July 19, 2003 in Japan and on June 1, 2004 on video and DVD in North America) and ''[[M07|Destiny Deoxys]]'' (which was released on July 17, 2004 in Japan and on January 22, 2005 on North American television).

Around the same time of {{aniseries|AG}}, a show called ''[[Weekly Pokémon Broadcasting Station]]'' began to air weekly in Japan, focusing not on {{Ash}}, but on other characters of {{aniseries|PTS}}, such as {{an|Misty}}, {{An|Brock}}, {{Tracey}}, {{Gary}}, [[Ritchie]], {{an|Casey}}, and [[Sakura]]. The English dubbed version, ''[[Pokémon Chronicles]]'', first aired in the United Kingdom in May 2005, finally dubbing ''[[The Legend of Thunder!]]'' special to English along the way, three and a half years after its original Japanese airing.

[[Nintendo]] transferred the {{pkmn|Trading Card Game}} license from [[Wizards of the Coast]] to itself in 2003, and released {{TCG|EX Ruby & Sapphire|its first set}} on January 31, introducing new game mechanics and a new card design. This set was released in North America on June 18, 2003.

===More spin-offs===
To solve the problem of limited Pokémon storage in the continuously growing Pokémon world, {{g|Box Ruby & Sapphire}} was released May 30, 2003 in Japan, July 11, 2004 in North America, allowing Trainers to store up to 1,500 Pokémon from their Generation III games.

A small spin-off game named {{g|Channel}} for [[Nintendo GameCube|GameCube]] was released in Japan on July 13, 2003. It focused on a TV-broadcasting network airing a variety of Pokémon programs, with the player playing the role of the test audience. The game also included a special episode, ''[[Pichu Bros. in Party Panic]]''. Pokémon Channel reached North America on December 1, 2003.

On July 28, 2003, {{PAV|15}} of the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga was first published, starting the {{MangaArc|Ruby & Sapphire}}, this one following the third generation's story. This was the first arc in the series not to feature previously introduced characters. Other manga series, such as ''[[Ash & Pikachu]]'', have also moved into the RS era around the same time.

A sequel to {{g|Pinball}} met the third generation in {{g|Pinball: Ruby & Sapphire}} for [[Game Boy Advance]] on August 1, 2003 in Japan and on August 23, 2003 in North America.

The ''[[Pokémon Pocket Monsters]]'' manga series received a third generation sequel in ''[[Pokémon Ruby-Sapphire]]'', the {{vol|Pokémon Ruby-Sapphire|1|first volume of which}} was first released on September 25, 2003. ''[[Magical Pokémon Journey]]'' has also received a sequel in the form of ''[[Pokémon Chamo-Chamo ☆ Pretty ♪]]'', first published on December 29, 2003.

The 3D version of [[Generation III]] came in the form of {{g|Colosseum}} on November 21, 2003 in Japan and March 22nd, 2004 in North America on the [[Nintendo GameCube|GameCube]]. Unlike the [[Pokémon Stadium series]], this game also featured an RPG taking place in the desolate [[region]] of [[Orre]]. The game's main addition to the growing [[Pokémon universe]] was [[Shadow Pokémon]].

===Back to Kanto and onward to the Battle Frontier===
[[File:FireRed EN boxart.png|thumb|200px|Pokémon FireRed Version box art]]
On January 29, 2004, two new [[core series|games]] were released in Japan: {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}. They arrived in North America on September 9, 2004, and were remakes of {{game|Red and Green|s}} which brought the games up to Generation III standards, as well as adding wireless connectivity (through a [[GBA Wireless Adapter|wireless adapter]] for the Game Boy Advance) and a new region — the [[Sevii Islands]]. These games also gave the [[event Pokémon]] {{p|Deoxys}} two additional [[form]]s, which could only be obtained by moving Deoxys to a {{game3|FireRed and LeafGreen|FireRed|s}} or {{game3|FireRed and LeafGreen|LeafGreen|s}} cartridge.

Not yet finished with the [[Hoenn]] story, Game Freak developed a third version to complement Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire, {{game|Emerald}}. This game was released in Japan on September 16, 2004, and in North America on May 1, 2005. Emerald featured the same wireless connectivity as FireRed and LeafGreen, as well as an updated version of Hoenn with many new features, including the Hoenn {{Gdis|Battle Frontier|III}}, the ability to re-battle Gym Leaders, an altered plot, and animations for all Pokémon, as in Crystal.

The {{pkmn|animated series}} [[AG132|caught up]] with both the Generation I remakes and Emerald by having the group travel back to [[Kanto]] and face the Kanto {{Gdis|Battle Frontier|III}} there. During this season's time two more movies were produced: ''[[M08|Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]'' (premiering in Japan on July 16, 2005) and ''[[M09|Pokémon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea]]'' (debuting in Japanese cinemas on July 15, 2006).

On August 28, 2006, {{PAV|22}} of the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga was published, starting the {{MangaArc|FireRed & LeafGreen}}, and on June 23, 2007, {{PAV|26}} started the {{MangaArc|Emerald}}. Another short manga series called [[Pokémon Battle Frontier]] was written by [[Shigekatsu Ihara]], focusing on the {{Gdis|Battle Frontier|III}}.

===Original new concepts===
A spin-off racing game called {{g|Dash}} was released in Japan on December 2, 2004 and in North America on March 14, 2005. It was the first of many Pokémon games made for the [[Nintendo DS]].

On August 4, 2005, Trainers were invited back to [[Orre]] in {{g|XD: Gale of Darkness}} for the [[Nintendo GameCube]], a sequel to {{g|Colosseum}} taking place about five years later. This game found its way to North America on October 3, 2005.

A spin-off puzzle game, {{g|Trozei!}}, was released on October 20, 2005 in Japan and on March 6, 2006 in North America. The game had a story mode, which followed [[Lucy Fleetfoot]] as she attempted to take down the [[Phobos Battalion]].

Starting with the {{Trading Card Game}} expansion {{TCG|EX Delta Species}}, which was released on October 28, 2005 in Japan and only three days later in the United States, a new special kind of Pokémon called {{TCG|δ Delta Species}} was introduced. δ Delta Species Pokémon were found only in a few TCG expansions, and were given a backstory involving a new region called [[Holon]].

[[File:Ranger EN boxart.jpg|thumb|left|210px|Pokémon Ranger box art]]
A new style of play saw light on November 17, 2005, with {{g|Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team}} — a pair of games, one for [[Game Boy Advance]] and one for [[Nintendo DS]] — in which the {{player}} is turned into a Pokémon. The games, released in North America on September 18, 2006, received adaptations in the animated special episode ''[[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Team Go-Getters Out of the Gate!]]'' and the manga series ''[[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Ginji's Rescue Team]]''.

Another new twist on Pokémon came in the spin-off [[Nintendo DS]] game {{vg|Pokémon Ranger}} on March 23, 2006. This time, players didn't play as regular [[Pokémon Trainer]]s, but as {{OBP|Pokémon Ranger|Ranger series}}s traveling the land of [[Fiore]] with a device called the [[Capture Styler]] instead of [[Poké Ball]]s. It was released in North America on October 30, 2006. The game was also promoted in other media through the appearance of Pokémon Rangers in [[AG155|an animated series episode]], [[AG171|a special episode]], and [[M09|the ninth movie]], as well as in a short [[Pokémon Ranger the Comic: Double Mission|manga series]].

===Ten years of Pokémon===
2006 was marked officially as [[Pokémon 10th Anniversary|Pokémon's tenth anniversary]], and was celebrated as such in many ways, such as [[Pokémon 10th Anniversary Journey Across America|Journey Across America]]. Among other things, an English CD was released titled ''{{OBP|Pokémon X|CD}} - 10 Years of Pokémon''.

On April 29, 2006, a special episode of the {{pkmn|animated series}} called ''[[The Mastermind of Mirage Pokémon]]'' was broadcast in the United States. This was the first episode to use [[The Pokémon Company International]]'s new voice actors (Pokémon USA at the time), causing big [[Pokémon USA recasting controversy|controversy]] among the Pokémon fan community. The special was eventually broadcast in Japan as streaming video from the TV Tokyo ''Anitele'' web site from October 13 to October 31, 2006.

In fall 2006, another section of the Pokémon franchise was created in the form of the [[Pokémon Trading Figure Game]] in Europe, Australia, and Southeast Asia, made by [[Kaiyodo]]. The figures reached North America and Japan in 2007.

==Generation IV==
===Sinnoh arrives===
[[File:Dpseries.jpg|thumb|200px|A poster for {{aniseries|DP}}]]
Just like with {{p|Kecleon}} in [[Generation III]], the public learned of [[Generation IV]] through a new Pokémon — {{p|Munchlax}} — in May 2004. Munchlax was soon featured in {{g|Dash}}, as well as [[M07|the seventh movie]] and later [[May's Munchlax|the animated series]]. Others such as {{p|Lucario}}, {{p|Bonsly}}, {{p|Mime Jr.}}, and {{p|Weavile}} then made their way to [[M08|the eighth movie]], and {{p|Mantyke}}, {{p|Buizel}}, and {{p|Chatot}} appeared in [[M09|the ninth]], which featured {{p|Manaphy}} — a new [[Mythical Pokémon]] that even became obtainable in {{vg|Pokémon Ranger}}.

{{2v|Diamond|Pearl}} were eventually released for [[Nintendo DS]] in Japan on September 28, 2006, and in North America on April 22, 2007. Along with {{cat|Generation IV Pokémon|107 new Pokémon}} in the new huge land of [[Sinnoh]], these games offered a pseudo-3D rendering of the overworld, the return of the [[time]] system, visible [[List of Pokémon with gender differences|gender differences between Pokémon]], a split between [[physical move|physical]] and [[special move]]s, a new [[villainous team]], known as [[Team Galactic]] and [[Pokémon Super Contest]]s.

{{aniseries|DP}} [[DP001|started]] in Japan and in the US in synchronization with the release of the games. Like the previous series, it introduced a new female character, {{an|Dawn}}, based on her game counterpart.

The first three {{pkmn|movie}}s of this series form a continuous trilogy. The first part of the trilogy, ''[[M10|The Rise of Darkrai]]'', premiered on July 14, 2007 in Japanese theaters, and aired on February 24, 2008 on North American televisions. The second part, ''[[M11|Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]'', premiered in Japan on July 19, 2008, and aired on February 13, 2009 on North American televisions. The third and final movie of the trilogy, ''[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]'', premiered on July 18, 2009 in Japan, has aired on Cartoon Network in the United States on November 20, 2009.

A new {{TCG|Diamond & Pearl|TCG set}} was released in Japan on November 30, 2006 and in the United States on May 23, 2007, featuring the new Pokémon from [[Sinnoh]].

===New sequels===
[[File:Battle Revolution EN boxart.jpg|thumb|left|175px|Pokémon Battle Revolution box art]]
On December 14, 2006, two weeks after the launch of Nintendo's [[Wii]] console, [[Generation IV]] Pokémon turned 3D in the form of {{g|Battle Revolution}}. It was released in the United States on June 25, 2007.

Several manga series were written for the fourth generation.

[[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon (WiiWare)|Another set of games]] of the Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series was also produced for WiiWare, released in Japan on August 4, 2009.

===Johto's Heart and Soul===
[[File:LugiaLEGENDHeartGoldSoulSilver113.jpg|thumb|150px|{{TCG ID|SoulSilver Collection|Lugia LEGEND|29}}]]
Ever since the [[Generation III]] remakes for the incompatible [[Generation I]] {{2v2|Red|Green}} games, Pokémon fans have widely speculated that remakes of the [[Generation II]] Pokémon games, {{2v2|Gold|Silver}}, would be made for [[Nintendo DS]]. Indeed, the paired remakes, titled {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, were eventually released in Japan on September 12, 2009, and were released in the United States on March 14, 2010. The games were referred to in {{aniseries|DP}} in [[DP143|an episode]] that featured {{an|Lyra|the counterpart of the new player character}} and the three [[Johto first partner Pokémon|first partner Pokémon of Johto]], {{TP|Dawn|one of whom|Quilava}} even joined the regular cast. {{TCG|HeartGold & SoulSilver|A new expansion set}} for the TCG was also released to celebrate the new games.

Some manga series followed the release of the games, such as a new sequel to Pokémon Pocket Monsters, titled {{OBP|Pocket Monsters HGSS|Kosaku Anakubo}}, of which the first volume was released on June 28, 2011. The {{MangaArc|HeartGold & SoulSilver}} of Pokémon Adventures was also released, with the first volume coming out on June 28, 2012.

A new game for the Wii: [[PokéPark Wii: Pikachu's Adventure]], was released on December 5, 2009. The game was released in North America and Europe in the spring of 2010.

==Generation V==
===A fresh start===
[[File:White EN boxart.png|thumb|200px|left|Pokémon White box]]
On February 7, 2010, [[Pokémon Sunday]] revealed a new Pokémon: {{p|Zoroark}}. [[Generation V]] was dawning, and it quickly became clear that even though the new games, {{game|Black and White|s}}, would again be on the Nintendo DS platform, everything about them would be quite new. In an unexpected move, Nintendo revealed that no old Pokémon would be available in the games until the main storyline had been completed, effectively giving both new and old Trainers in [[Unova]], a region based on the New York City metropolitan area, rather than Japan, a completely fresh experience. On September 18, 2010, when the games were released in Japan, {{cat|Generation V Pokémon|156 new Pokémon}} were introduced, making this the biggest Pokémon generation yet.

Maintaining the innovations of Generation IV, Black and White added further to the time system that had been introduced more than ten years prior, now having the {{season}}s change, and with them, Pokémon distribution and the time of day, with days being longer during summer and shorter during winter. The sprite animation system introduced in Generation III with Emerald was also done away with, returning Pokémon sprites to a system more like that of Crystal in Generation II - though now Pokémon move throughout the battle. Pokémon Contests have disappeared completely, with [[Pokémon Musical]] taking their place, though [[move]]s and [[Contest condition|condition]]s have no purpose in these competitions. [[Triple Battle]]s, an expansion on the Double Battle concept introduced two generations prior, made position, as well as team cohesiveness, an important part of battle.

Unlike previous paired games, which generally differed only in Pokémon distribution, and ultimately, the availability of [[game mascot|the Pokémon on the boxart]] at the conclusion of the main storyline, Black and White feature greater differences between the worlds of the opposite versions on level with those between paired and third version of earlier generations - [[Opelucid City]] in Black is highly technological, while in White it is laid-back and traditional, whereas two version-exclusive locations, [[Black City]] and [[White Forest]], appear in the same location in their same-name version.

[[File:BWseries.png|thumb|200px|A poster for {{aniseries|BW}}]]
The {{pkmn|animated series}} was quick to follow with a new series, {{aniseries|BW}}. Unlike previous generations, no Pokémon from Generation V were shown in the closing episodes of {{aniseries|DP}}, although the thirteenth movie, ''[[M13|Zoroark Master of Illusions]]'', featured {{p|Zorua}} and {{p|Zoroark}} as major characters, the only Generation V Pokémon featured prior to ''Best Wishes''.

Similar to the original series, Ash's companions this time around are two Gym Leaders: {{an|Cilan}} and {{an|Iris}}. Like the games, {{aniseries|BW}} was also given a facelift. No Pokémon from previous generations (apart from [[Ash's Pikachu]] and {{MTR}}) are shown in the episodes. Longtime animated series characters, including the protagonist [[Ash Ketchum]] receive an upgraded appearance, most notably in regards to their eyes.

In an unprecedented move, ''two'' movies, rather than one, were released together as [[M14|the fourteenth Pokémon movie]], though the differences between the two are much alike the differences between Black Version and White Version.

Several manga series were released based on the games, such as a sequel to Pokémon Pocket Monsters, titled {{OBP|Pocket Monsters BW|Kosaku Anakubo}} and [[Pocket Monsters BW: The Heroes of Fire and Thunder]], among many others. [[Pokémon Adventures]] also jumped to the new generation, with the first volume of {{MangaArc|Black & White}} released on January 25, 2013.

===A second step into Unova===
It was always anticipated that Black and White would eventually get a third version, as past generations have. Many assumed it would be called "Pokémon Grey Version". However, this time there would be sequels, and with a different plot altogether.

Sequels to Black and White, [[Pokémon Black and White Versions 2]], were released to Japan in June 2012 and came to North America, Europe and Australia in October 2012. The games feature two new forms of {{p|Kyurem}}, called Black Kyurem (Japanese: ブラックキュレム) and White Kyurem (Japanese: ホワイトキュレム), as well as new forms of the [[forces of nature]] and {{p|Keldeo}}. The games take place two years after Black and White, and many things have changed in the Unova region.

Some manga series followed the release of the second paired versions, most notably the {{MangaArc|Black 2 & White 2}} of Pokémon Adventures which began its serialization in July 2013 (although a chapter featuring [[Hugh]]'s backstory had been published prior to this).
{{-}}
==Generation VI==
===The next evolution===
{{Incomplete|section|This section appears to have last been updated prior to the release of the games and therefore needs new information and context.}}
[[File:XY series poster 2.png|thumb|200px|A poster for {{aniseries|XY}}]]
On January 8, 2013, Nintendo simultaneously announced to the world that a new generation of Pokémon will be coming to the world through a special edition of [[Nintendo Direct]], called ''Pokémon Direct''. {{g|X and Y}}, the first games in [[Generation VI]], were revealed and were released worldwide on October 12, 2013. These two games introduced several new Pokémon, and the Pokémon series took a new leap into the 3D world on the [[Nintendo 3DS]]. The concept of [[Mega Evolution]] was also introduced. During the unveiling of the new versions, three new [[first partner Pokémon]] were introduced: Grass Type {{p|Chespin}}, Fire Type {{p|Fennekin}} and Water Type {{p|Froakie}}. The games take place in a new region called [[Kalos]], based on the real-world France. These games hearkened back to Generation I in several ways, by including many older Pokémon from different regions alongside a small amount of new ones, making older Pokémon stronger through Mega Evolution and introducing {{t|Fairy|a brand-new type}} for the first time in over a decade. This generation marked the transition from 2D sprites to animated 3D models, a tradition that would continue in every following generation.

A new series, {{aniseries|XY}}, and as with the previous three series, began with Ash Ketchum headed off to the new region with his Pikachu. His previous companions, Iris and Cilan, have left the series. Ash began his journey in Lumiose City. {{an|Clemont}}, {{an|Bonnie}}, and {{an|Serena}} having joined him in the series as companions.

Pokémon Adventures started the serialization of its {{MangaArc|X & Y}} following the games' release in October 2013. The first volume of a new series by Kosaku Anakubo, known as {{OBP|Pocket Monsters XY|Kosaku Anakubo}}, was released on April 28, 2014.

===Welcome back to Hoenn===
Just like the [[Generation III]] remakes for the incompatible [[Generation I]] {{2v2|Red|Green}} games and the [[Generation IV]] remakes for the incompatible [[Generation II]] {{2v2|Gold|Silver}} games, Pokémon fans have widely speculated that remakes of the [[Generation III]] Pokémon games, {{2v2|Ruby|Sapphire}}, would be made for [[Nintendo 3DS]]. Indeed, the paired remakes, titled {{pkmn|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, were revealed in a worldwide announcement on the official Pokémon websites on May 7, 2014 and were eventually released in Worldwide on November 21, 2014.
{{-}}

===Twenty years of Pokémon===
2016 officially marked the [[Pokémon 20th Anniversary|20th anniversary of Pokémon]], and it was celebrated with a re-release of the original [[Generation I]] core series games on the Nintendo 3DS's [[Virtual Console]] worldwide. These games were released on February 27, 2016, coinciding with Red and Green's original release date in Japan in 1996. In addition, there were further celebrations of the occasion throughout the year, such as rare Pokémon distributions and retail events.

==Generation VII==
===Seven's a lucky number===
[[File:Moon EN boxart.png|left|200px|thumb|Pokémon Moon box art]]
The seventh generation of Pokémon was announced on February 27, 2016, the franchise's 20th anniversary with the new games {{g|Sun and Moon}} and was released on November 18, 2016.

As with the previous four series, a new series, {{aniseries|SM}}, began with Ash Ketchum headed off to the new region with his Pikachu. His previous companions, Clemont, Bonnie and Serena, have left the series. Ash Ketchum heads off to a new region, Alola, wearing a new set of clothes with his partner Pikachu. He receives a Z-Ring and becomes a student at the Pokémon School on Melemele Island. {{an|Lillie}}, {{an|Kiawe}}, {{an|Mallow}}, {{an|Lana}}, and {{an|Sophocles}} joined him in the series as his classmates. For the first time in the show's history, Ash wins a game-original Pokémon League and becomes a Champion.

The seventh generation broke several trends within the core series, such as abandoning [[HM]] moves, replacing [[Gym]]s with [[island challenge]] trials, and introducing [[Legendary Pokémon]] part of an evolutionary line.

===A New Light Shines on Alola===
Two follow-up games, {{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}}, were announced during a Nintendo Direct presentation on June 6, 2017. The games were released exclusively on the Nintendo 3DS on November 17, 2017, featuring an alternate storyline set in Sun and Moon's world, and will feature new Pokémon not available in the original games.

===Let's GO Back to Kanto Again with Pikachu and Eevee===
On May 30, 2018, it was announced that two new Pokémon games in the main Pokémon franchise, [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], were going to be released on November 16, 2018. They are the first installments of the main Pokémon RPG series for Nintendo Switch and are inspired by {{game|Yellow}} with gameplay mechanics borrowed from Pokémon GO.

==Generation VIII==

===Forge a path to greatness===
[[File:Sword EN boxart.png|150px|thumb|Pokémon Sword box art]]
The eighth generation of Pokémon was announced with the reveal of {{g|Sword and Shield}} on February 27, 2019. These games were released internationally on November 15, 2019. Fewer Pokémon were revealed prior to the game's release compared to other generations to increase anticipation.<ref>https://s.famitsu.com/news/201910/25185623.html</ref> These games introduced the [[Dynamax]]ing and [[Gigantamax]]ing features, while abandoning the Mega Evolution and Z-Move features introduced in previous generations. The games became the fastest selling Nintendo Switch games, beating out [[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]] and selling 6 million copies worldwide.

Instead of releasing a separate "third version" or sequel(s) to Sword and Shield, a pair of DLCs, [[The Isle of Armor]] and [[The Crown Tundra]], were introduced in its place, featuring all-new areas, returning Pokémon, and new Legendaries.

A new series, {{aniseries|JN}}, took place in all of the regions from [[Kanto]] to [[Galar]]. It features two protagonists, [[Ash Ketchum]] and [[Goh]], along with their partner {{AP|Pikachu}} and {{TP|Goh|Scorbunny}}. However, the [[COVID-19 pandemic]] caused the series to go on its first extensive hiatus in over 20 years.

===Twenty-five years worth of memories===
2021 was officially designated as the [[Pokémon 25th Anniversary|25th anniversary of Pokémon]], similarly to past celebrations in 2006 and 2016. In addition to several pieces of special merchandise, a [[P25 Music|music album]] featuring celebrity singers such as {{wp|Katy Perry}} was announced in January.

===Sinnoh Is Brilliant & Shiny===
On February 26, 2021, {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}}, remakes of the [[Generation IV]] games {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}, were announced on that day's Pokémon Presents and released on November 19, 2021. [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]], a title set in an earlier part of Sinnoh's history when it was known as [[Hisui]], was also announced during same Pokémon Presents and released on January 28, 2022. The title notably focuses on catching Pokémon for research and is a purely single-player experience.
{{-}}

==Generation IX==
{{outdated|section|needs=updated for SV DLC and Horizons}}
===Yet another world to treasure===
[[File:Riding Legendaries artwork.png|200px|thumb|Key art of {{p|Koraidon}} and {{p|Miraidon}} within the Paldea region]]
The ninth generation of Pokémon was announced with the reveal of {{g|Scarlet and Violet}} on February 27, 2022, the first pair of mainline games to return to the classic tradition of naming versions after colors since the fifth generation. The main new features of the game are that the players can fully explore the region of [[Paldea]] without being forced to stick to a linear path, and the [[Terastal phenomenon]] that allows Pokémon to change their [[Type]] temporary. The games are the fastest selling titles in the series to date, having sold 10 million copies in the first three days of sales.

The {{pkmn|animated series}}, unlike previous generations, did not immediately debut with a new series alongside the games. On December 16, 2022, it was announced that [[Ash Ketchum]], following his victory at the [[World Coronation Series]], would have his story conclude in an 11-episode miniseries starting in January 2023. Then in April 2023, {{aniseries|HZ|a brand new animated series}} began airing starring [[Liko|two brand]] [[Roy|new protagonists]] alongside the [[Paldea first partner Pokémon]].

'''Salamence''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ボーマンダ''' ''Bohmander'') is a dual-type {{2t|Dragon|Flying}} [[pseudo-legendary Pokémon]] introduced in [[Generation III]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Shelgon}} starting at [[level]] 50. It is the final form of {{p|Bagon}}.

Salamence can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into '''Mega Salamence''' using the [[Salamencite]]. Mega Salamence was introduced in {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}.

The [[Paradox Pokémon]] {{p|Roaring Moon}} is said to be an ancient relative of Mega Salamence.

==Biology==
[[File:Sugimori Salamence AG.jpg|thumb|left|250px|{{aniseries|AG}} reference sheet]]
Salamence is a quadrupedal, draconic {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with a long, tapering tail. It is primarily blue with a gray lower jaw and thickly scaled underside. There are red markings on its throat, the underside of its tail, and stripes on the inner surface of its legs. Additionally, there are raised red ridges above its eyes. Three flat fins protrude from either side of its head, possibly acting in the same manner that a {{wp|Canard (aeronautics)|Canard}} would on an aircraft. It has two pairs of pointed teeth, one in the upper jaw and one in the lower. Each of its short legs has three claws, capable of slicing through nearly any material. Salamence is considered an unusual Pokémon due to the circumstances of its Evolution; its fervent desire to fly triggered a cellular mutation that allowed it to suddenly grow large, red wings.

Its long-held dream fulfilled at last, Salamence constantly flies around and releases intense blasts of fire as an expression of its joy. It only stops flying when it gets exhausted and needs to sleep. If enraged, it loses all sense of self and flies into an uncontrollable rampage, destroying everything around it until it tires itself out. It lives in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Rough-terrain Pokémon|rough terrain}}, and it competes with {{p|Garchomp}} in midair for food. As mentioned in the [[Sleep style|Sleep Style Dex]], Salamence flutters its wings even while it sleeps. There are four different sleep styles it sleeps in: "Flutter Sleep", "Big-Yawn Sleep", "Flamethrower Sleep", and "Atop-Belly Sleep".
{{left clear}}

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

As Mega Salamence, its wings meld together into a single huge, crescent-shaped wing. Its face, neck, body, and tail are narrower, and its tail is noticeably shorter in length. The ridges above its eyes are now far less prominent, and it no longer possesses the thick, gray scaling over its lower jaw. Instead, the smooth red flesh underneath has been left exposed, increasing its streamlined appearance. The upper pair of fins resting on the sides of its head are now elongated and tapered. The lower pair has not changed much. However, the middle set now takes the form of quarter-arches, spanning towards the bridge of the nose. The remnants of its shelled underbelly have been drastically transformed into a segmented, more aerodynamic, vest-like armored frame. This frame encases its chest and shoulders with the pieces interlocking whenever Mega Salamence tucks in its front forelegs. {{p|Roaring Moon}} bears a resemblance to Mega Salamence, though the potential connection between the two is unknown.

According to ''[[XYS02|Mega Evolution Special II]]'', the hard, yet very flexible properties of its wings allow them to be used as blades in mid-air battles. The stress of Salamence's vaunted wings becoming misshapen in its Mega Evolution aggravates it to the point of rampaging. This fuels its already brutal nature and makes it likely to turn against the Trainer who raised it. Because of this, Mega Salamence is feared as "the blood-soaked crescent". It is an extremely fast flier, and any object in Salamence's path gets sliced in two by its blade-like wings, posing no interruption to its flight.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20150207095003/http://www.pokemonrubysapphire.com/en-us/pokemon/new-mega-evolutions/mega-salamence | Mega Salamence (Archived)]</ref>

===Evolution===
Salamence evolves from {{p|Shelgon}} and is the final form of {{p|Bagon}}.

* [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Gates to Infinity]]: Salamence is a member of {{OBP|Munna|Gates to Infinity}}'s gang, working for {{OBP|Kyurem|Gates to Infinity}} to stop any humans called upon by {{OBP|Hydreigon|Gates to Infinity}} from destroying the [[Bittercold]]. He aids his companions in pursuing the player and their partner, but are outmaneuvered by Hydreigon. Salamence, along with two {{p|Chandelure}}, later attempt to stop the player and their allies from reaching the [[Glacier Palace]], but are defeated.

===Pokémon Adventures===
{{main|Zinnia's Salamence}}
When {{adv|Ruby}} was a child, he {{pkmn|battle}}d a Salamence that attacked him and {{adv|Sapphire}} while the two were playing outside. After being defeated by Ruby and having scarred his forehead with its {{m|Dragon Claw}} in the process, the Salamence went on a rampage and destroyed a lab, freeing {{DL|Super-ancient Pokémon (Adventures)|Rayquaza}}, which was in captivity at that time, in the process. This resulted in [[Norman]] being banned from the [[Gym Leader]] test for five years. This encounter changed both Ruby and Sapphire and their views on Pokémon, as well as themselves. In Ruby's case, he felt he was too strong, and in order to keep himself back, he focused on [[Pokémon Contest]]s. Sapphire, on the other hand, felt weak after the encounter and decided she had to become stronger, and spent much of her time in the wild honing her battle skills. It appeared in a flashback in ''[[PS252|The Beginning of the End with Kyogre & Groudon XIV]]''. In the {{MangaArc|Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire}}, where [[Zinnia]] was revealed to be its owner, it had obtained a [[Salamencite]], allowing it to [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into Mega Salamence.

In ''[[PS304|Swanky Showdown with Swalot]]'', [[Tucker]] is shown to be in possession of another Salamence, with which he defeats Sapphire. While Sapphire acknowledges the man's overwhelming skill, she also adds that such a Pokémon is a hard one to fight against with her phobic old experience many years back.

A Salamence appeared in a flashback in ''[[PS580|Flabébé Blooms]]''.

In ''[[PS600|Gorebyss Changes Color]]'', a Salamence appeared as a silhouette during {{Steven}}'s explanation about the [[Draconid people]].

[[Anabel]] owns a Salamence, which first appeared in ''[[PASM23|Battle in Vast Poni Canyon]]''.

===Pokémon Battle Frontier===
Tucker used a Salamence in a Tag Battle against {{OBP|Enta|CBF}} in ''[[CBF4|Introducing the Frontier Brains!]]''.

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

==In the TFG==
One Salamence figure has been released.
* {{TFG|Next Quest}}: {{TFG ID|Next Quest|Salamence|13}}

==Other appearances==
===[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]===
Salamence appears as a {{sbw|Spirit}}.

==Trivia==
* Salamence shares its {{pkmn|category}} with the {{p|Horsea}} and {{p|Dratini}} evolutionary lines, along with [[Kalos]]ian {{p|Goodra}}. They are all known as the Dragon Pokémon.
* From Generations [[Generation IV|IV]] through [[Generation VII|VII]], Salamence is unable to learn {{m|Iron Defense}} from a Move Tutor, while its pre-Evolution can.
* Salamence is the only pseudo-legendary Pokémon introduced before [[Generation IX]] who is not known to be owned by a member of the current [[World Coronation Series|Masters Eight]] in {{aniseries|JN}}.

===Origin===
Salamence seems to be based on the archetypal {{wp|European dragon}}. It may also be based on a {{wp|salamander}}, most likely the {{wp|Hida salamander}} or {{wp|Anderson's salamander}}; this is backed up by Salamence featuring three prominent finlets on either side of its head, which can be interpreted as {{wp|external gills}}. These external gills are typical for many species of amphibians. Alternatively, it might take inspiration from the {{wp|Salamanders in folklore|mythical animal of the same name}}, which is often conflated with dragons or treated as a dragon, as evidenced by its ability to learn numerous {{type|Fire}} moves by leveling up, and its [[Pokédex]] entry describing its propensity for breathing fire.

Mega Salamence's wing and head shape resemble that of a {{wp|Fighter aircraft|fighter jet}}. Mega Salamence tucking in its front legs into the gaps on its belly, as well as its stiff yet flexible wings, may be based on {{wp|Hang gliding|hang gliding}}. Its name, "the blood-soaked crescent", could be a reference to {{wp|Lunar eclipse|blood moons}}.

====Name origin====
Salamence may be a combination of ''{{wp|Salamander (disambiguation)|salamander}}'' and ''menace'', ''vengeance'', ''vehemence'', ''violence'', or ''immense''.

Bohmander may be a combination of 暴 ''bō'' (violent) and ''salamander''.

'''Numel''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ドンメル''' ''Donmel'') is a dual-type {{2t|Fire|Ground}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation III]].

It [[Evolution|evolve]]s into {{p|Camerupt}} starting at [[level]] 33.

==Biology==
[[File:TeamMagmaNumelDoubleCrisis1.jpg|thumb|150px|left|Several Numel pulling a cart]]
Numel is a yellow, quadrupedal Pokémon that resembles a {{wp|Dromedary}} camel with a volcano-like hump on its back. The hump is green at the very top and fades out into yellow with small green spots. It contains magma of almost 2,200 °F (1,200 °C), which is consumed whenever it uses fire-based attacks. A female will have a bigger hump than a male. It has bangs on top of its head, sleepy eyes with brown circles around them, and short, stubby legs.

Numel possesses a gentle disposition and rarely attacks without provocation. However, it is still a very strong Pokémon, having served humans for many years with its ability to carry heavy loads up to 220 lbs. (100 kg). However, it slows down when wet and cannot stand when it is hungry. Due to its dull wits, it does not notice when it has been hit. Numel typically lives on {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Mountain Pokémon|volcanic mountains}}.

In [[Generation IX]], Numel is the [[Signature Ability|only known Pokémon]] that can have {{a|Simple}} as an [[Ability]].

===Evolution===
Numel evolves into {{p|Camerupt}}.

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

{{main|Numel (TCG)}}

==Trivia==
* Numel's evolutionary line may be considered a counterpart of {{p|Carvanha}}'s evolutionary line. Both of them are dual-type Pokémon, both lines have identical base stat totals per evolutionary stage, both of their final [[Evolution]]s are used by [[Team Magma]] Leader [[Maxie]] and [[Team Aqua]] Leader [[Archie]], respectively, and both of their final Evolutions can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]].

===Origin===
Numel appears to be based on a stylized {{wp|dromedary}} camel with its single hump fashioned into a dormant {{wp|volcano}}. However, Numel's barrel-shaped body and simplified extremities may also draw inspiration from a {{wp|mule}} or {{wp|donkey}}-shaped {{wp|piñata}}.

====Name origin====
Numel may be a combination of ''numb'' and ''{{wp|camel}}''.

Donmel may be a combination of 鈍 ''don'' (dull, slow, stupid) and ''camel''.

'''Venipede''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''フシデ''' ''Fushide'') is a {{2t|Bug|Poison}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation V]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Whirlipede}} starting at [[level]] 22, which evolves into {{p|Scolipede}} starting at level 30.

==Biology==
Venipede is an insectoid {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with a pronounced hump on the upper portion of its body. Its thorax and head are mainly magenta with black markings that consist of rings on its shoulders, a band around each antenna, and an upside-down 'Y' on its neck. A prominent ridge leading down to a pointed tip splits the top half of its head, and its lower jaw is black. Its fangs are known to be highly venomous. Venipede has round, heavy-lidded eyes that bulge away from the head slightly. Venipede's dark green abdomen is segmented, and it has four pairs of stubby black legs. Two short feelers banded with black extend from its hindquarters, which it uses in addition to its antennae to explore its surroundings and detect prey by sensing air vibrations.

Venipede is highly aggressive for its size, and its bite injects a poison strong enough to paralyze large bird Pokémon. It often gets into fights with {{p|Sizzlipede}}, a related species. Venipede tends to prey on any Pokémon it thinks it can eat without considering its actions thoroughly.

===Evolution===
Venipede evolves into {{p|Whirlipede}}, which evolves into {{p|Scolipede}}.

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

Multiple Venipede debuted in ''[[BW022|A Venipede Stampede!]]'', where they swarmed [[Castelia City]] and attacked it. [[Professor Juniper]] found out that they were disturbed from their nest by a mysterious force in [[Desert Resort]] and ended up in Castelia City. The [[Mayor of Castelia City]] was dealing with them the wrong way, so [[Burgh]] stepped in. With the help of {{Ash}}, {{ashfr}}, [[Nurse Joy]], and [[Trip]], they were able to round all of the Venipede up. One reappeared in a flashback in ''[[BW064|Explorers of the Hero's Ruin!]]''.

==Trivia==
* Venipede is tied with {{p|Gastly}} for the lowest base {{stat|HP}} stat of all {{type|Poison}} Pokémon.
* Despite the Scolipede and {{p|Centiskorch}} evolutionary lines living in different parts of the [[Galar]] [[region]], both Venipede and Scolipede's [[Pokédex entry|Pokédex entries]] speak of their hostile relationship with the latter family.
* Venipede's Black, Y, Alpha Sapphire, and Shield Pokédex entries mention Venipede's venomous fangs. Despite this, Venipede cannot learn {{m|Poison Fang}}.
* Venipede and its Evolutions were designed by [[Tomohiro Kitakaze]].<ref>[https://twitter.com/kitakazeee/status/1123171470245367808 Tweet by 北風友裕 (@kitakazeee).] Posted on April 30, 2019.</ref>

===Origin===
{{Bulbanews|On the Origin of Species: Venipede, Whirlipede and Scolipede}}
Venipede's evolutionary line seems to draw inspiration from both {{wp|centipede}}s and {{wp|millipede}}s, perhaps {{wp|Myriapoda}} as a whole. Venipede's design may play on {{wp|pill millipede}}s, combining myriapod and {{wp|woodlouse}} (possibly {{wp|Ligidium}}) features.

====Name origin====
Venipede may be a combination of ''venom'' and ''centipede'' or ''millipede''.

Fushide may be a combination of 節 ''fushi'' (joint/segment) and 百足 ''mukade'' (centipede).

'''Skiddo''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''メェークル''' ''Meecle'') is a {{type|Grass}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation VI]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Gogoat}} starting at [[level]] 32.

==Biology==
Skiddo is a quadrupedal, {{wp|goat}}-like {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} covered with shaggy, dark brown fur. It has a white face with a brown blaze down the middle, a round black nose, black eyes, a short beard, and small rounded ears. On top of its head are a pair of pointed black horns extending out to the sides. It has a white stocking on each leg and cloven, orange hooves. There is a leafy green mane around its neck that extends along its back. The mane ends at its tail, which is made up of three short leaves. The leaves on its back can be crafted into perfumes.<ref>Depiction in [[Mission (Legends: Z-A)|Skiddo's Fragrant Leaves]].</ref>

Skiddo can perform {{wp|photosynthesis}} with the leaves on its back, which means that it does not need to eat so long as it has sunshine and water. It has a docile nature and is thought to be one of the first Pokémon to live alongside humans, who ride on it to travel across mountains. As seen in the {{aniseries|XY}} episode ''[[XY053|A Race for Home!]]'', [[Pokémon food|milk]] from Skiddo can be used to make dairy products.

Skiddo and its Evolution, {{p|Gogoat}}, are the [[Signature Ability|only known Pokémon]] that can have {{a|Grass Pelt}} as an [[Ability]].

===Evolution===
Skiddo evolves into {{p|Gogoat}}.

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

==Trivia==
* Skiddo and its Evolution share their {{pkmn|category}} with {{p|Cyclizar}}. They are all known as the Mount Pokémon.

===Origin===
Skiddo is based on a {{wp|goat}}, possibly a {{wp|bharal}} or {{wp|Dwarf blue sheep|dwarf bharal}} due to its horns. It is also based on a bike, as it can be ridden and has {{wp|Bicycle handlebar#Riser|riser bar}}-like horns. The grass that grows upon it may originate from {{wp|Pan (god)|Pan}} or {{wp|Faunus}}, gods of nature who are half-goat, half-human. The grass could also be a reference to the traditional {{wp|yule goat}} figures in northern Europe made of hay.

====Name origin====
Skiddo may be a combination of ''skid'' and ''kiddo'' (slang for ''kid'', which is also a term used for young goats). However, the way it is pronounced in the {{pkmn|animated series}} implies it may be a corruption of ''skidoo''.

Meecle may be a combination of メー ''mē'' (onomatopoeia of a goat's bleating) and ''vehicle'' or ''bicycle''.

'''Skiddo''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''メェークル''' ''Meecle'') is a {{type|Grass}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation VI]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Gogoat}} starting at [[level]] 32.

==Biology==
Skiddo is a quadrupedal, {{wp|goat}}-like {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} covered with shaggy, dark brown fur. It has a white face with a brown blaze down the middle, a round black nose, black eyes, a short beard, and small rounded ears. On top of its head are a pair of pointed black horns extending out to the sides. It has a white stocking on each leg and cloven, orange hooves. There is a leafy green mane around its neck that extends along its back. The mane ends at its tail, which is made up of three short leaves. The leaves on its back can be crafted into perfumes.<ref>Depiction in [[Mission (Legends: Z-A)|Skiddo's Fragrant Leaves]].</ref>

Skiddo can perform {{wp|photosynthesis}} with the leaves on its back, which means that it does not need to eat so long as it has sunshine and water. It has a docile nature and is thought to be one of the first Pokémon to live alongside humans, who ride on it to travel across mountains. As seen in the {{aniseries|XY}} episode ''[[XY053|A Race for Home!]]'', [[Pokémon food|milk]] from Skiddo can be used to make dairy products.

Skiddo and its Evolution, {{p|Gogoat}}, are the [[Signature Ability|only known Pokémon]] that can have {{a|Grass Pelt}} as an [[Ability]].

===Evolution===
Skiddo evolves into {{p|Gogoat}}.

==Trivia==
* Skiddo and its Evolution share their {{pkmn|category}} with {{p|Cyclizar}}. They are all known as the Mount Pokémon.

===Origin===
Skiddo is based on a {{wp|goat}}, possibly a {{wp|bharal}} or {{wp|Dwarf blue sheep|dwarf bharal}} due to its horns. It is also based on a bike, as it can be ridden and has {{wp|Bicycle handlebar#Riser|riser bar}}-like horns. The grass that grows upon it may originate from {{wp|Pan (god)|Pan}} or {{wp|Faunus}}, gods of nature who are half-goat, half-human. The grass could also be a reference to the traditional {{wp|yule goat}} figures in northern Europe made of hay.

====Name origin====
Skiddo may be a combination of ''skid'' and ''kiddo'' (slang for ''kid'', which is also a term used for young goats). However, the way it is pronounced in the {{pkmn|animated series}} implies it may be a corruption of ''skidoo''.

Meecle may be a combination of メー ''mē'' (onomatopoeia of a goat's bleating) and ''vehicle'' or ''bicycle''.

'''Skiddo''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''メェークル''' ''Meecle'') is a {{type|Grass}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation VI]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Gogoat}} starting at [[level]] 32.

==Biology==
Skiddo is a quadrupedal, {{wp|goat}}-like {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} covered with shaggy, dark brown fur. It has a white face with a brown blaze down the middle, a round black nose, black eyes, a short beard, and small rounded ears. On top of its head are a pair of pointed black horns extending out to the sides. It has a white stocking on each leg and cloven, orange hooves. There is a leafy green mane around its neck that extends along its back. The mane ends at its tail, which is made up of three short leaves. The leaves on its back can be crafted into perfumes.

Skiddo can perform {{wp|photosynthesis}} with the leaves on its back, which means that it does not need to eat so long as it has sunshine and water. It has a docile nature and is thought to be one of the first Pokémon to live alongside humans, who ride on it to travel across mountains. As seen in the {{aniseries|XY}} episode ''[[XY053|A Race for Home!]]'', [[Pokémon food|milk]] from Skiddo can be used to make dairy products.

Skiddo and its Evolution, {{p|Gogoat}}, are the [[Signature Ability|only known Pokémon]] that can have {{a|Grass Pelt}} as an [[Ability]].

===Evolution===
Skiddo evolves into {{p|Gogoat}}.

==Trivia==
* Skiddo and its Evolution share their {{pkmn|category}} with {{p|Cyclizar}}. They are all known as the Mount Pokémon.

===Origin===
Skiddo is based on a {{wp|goat}}, possibly a {{wp|bharal}} or {{wp|Dwarf blue sheep|dwarf bharal}} due to its horns. It is also based on a bike, as it can be ridden and has {{wp|Bicycle handlebar#Riser|riser bar}}-like horns. The grass that grows upon it may originate from {{wp|Pan (god)|Pan}} or {{wp|Faunus}}, gods of nature who are half-goat, half-human. The grass could also be a reference to the traditional {{wp|yule goat}} figures in northern Europe made of hay.

====Name origin====
Skiddo may be a combination of ''skid'' and ''kiddo'' (slang for ''kid'', which is also a term used for young goats). However, the way it is pronounced in the {{pkmn|animated series}} implies it may be a corruption of ''skidoo''.

Meecle may be a combination of メー ''mē'' (onomatopoeia of a goat's bleating) and ''vehicle'' or ''bicycle''.

'''Numel''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ドンメル''' ''Donmel'') is a dual-type {{2t|Fire|Ground}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation III]].

It [[Evolution|evolve]]s into {{p|Camerupt}} starting at [[level]] 33.

==Biology==
[[File:TeamMagmaNumelDoubleCrisis1.jpg|thumb|150px|left|Several Numel pulling a cart]]
Numel is a yellow, quadrupedal Pokémon that resembles a {{wp|Dromedary}} camel with a volcano-like hump on its back. The hump is green at the very top and fades out into yellow with small green spots. It contains magma of almost 2,200 °F (1,200 °C). A female will have a bigger hump than a male. It has bangs on top of its head, sleepy eyes with brown circles around them, and short, stubby legs.

Numel possesses a gentle disposition and rarely attacks without provocation. However, it is still a very strong Pokémon, having served humans for many years with its ability to carry heavy loads up to 220 lbs. (100 kg). However, it slows down when wet and cannot stand when it is hungry. Due to its dull wits, it does not notice when it has been hit. Numel typically lives on {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Mountain Pokémon|volcanic mountains}}.

In [[Generation IX]], Numel is the [[Signature Ability|only known Pokémon]] that can have {{a|Simple}} as an [[Ability]].

===Evolution===
Numel evolves into {{p|Camerupt}}.

{{main|Numel (TCG)}}

==Trivia==
* Numel's evolutionary line may be considered a counterpart of {{p|Carvanha}}'s evolutionary line. Both of them are dual-type Pokémon, both lines have identical base stat totals per evolutionary stage, both of their final [[Evolution]]s are used by [[Team Magma]] Leader [[Maxie]] and [[Team Aqua]] Leader [[Archie]], respectively, and both of their final Evolutions can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]].

===Origin===
Numel appears to be based on a stylized {{wp|dromedary}} camel with its single hump fashioned into a dormant {{wp|volcano}}. However, Numel's barrel-shaped body and simplified extremities may also draw inspiration from a {{wp|mule}} or {{wp|donkey}}-shaped {{wp|piñata}}.

====Name origin====
Numel may be a combination of ''numb'' and ''{{wp|camel}}''.

Donmel may be a combination of 鈍 ''don'' (dull, slow, stupid) and ''camel''.

'''Numel''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ドンメル''' ''Donmel'') is a dual-type {{2t|Fire|Ground}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation III]].

It [[Evolution|evolve]]s into {{p|Camerupt}} starting at [[level]] 33.

==Biology==
[[File:TeamMagmaNumelDoubleCrisis1.jpg|thumb|150px|left|Several Numel pulling a cart]]
Numel is a yellow, quadrupedal Pokémon that resembles a {{wp|Dromedary}} camel with a volcano-like hump on its back. The hump is green at the very top and fades out into yellow with small green spots. It contains magma of almost 2,200 °F (1,200 °C). A female will have a bigger hump than a male. It has bangs on top of its head, sleepy eyes with brown circles around them, and short, stubby legs.

Numel is a very strong Pokémon, having served humans for many years with its ability to carry heavy loads up to 220 lbs. (100 kg). However, it slows down when wet and cannot stand when it is hungry. Due to its dull wits, it does not notice when it has been hit. Numel possesses a gentle disposition and rarely attacks without provocation. Numel typically lives on {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Mountain Pokémon|volcanic mountains}}.

In [[Generation IX]], Numel is the [[Signature Ability|only known Pokémon]] that can have {{a|Simple}} as an [[Ability]].

===Evolution===
Numel evolves into {{p|Camerupt}}.

==Trivia==
* Numel's evolutionary line may be considered a counterpart of {{p|Carvanha}}'s evolutionary line. Both of them are dual-type Pokémon, both lines have identical base stat totals per evolutionary stage, both of their final [[Evolution]]s are used by [[Team Magma]] Leader [[Maxie]] and [[Team Aqua]] Leader [[Archie]], respectively, and both of their final Evolutions can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]].

===Origin===
Numel appears to be based on a stylized {{wp|dromedary}} camel with its single hump fashioned into a dormant {{wp|volcano}}. However, Numel's barrel-shaped body and simplified extremities may also draw inspiration from a {{wp|mule}} or {{wp|donkey}}-shaped {{wp|piñata}}.

====Name origin====
Numel may be a combination of ''numb'' and ''{{wp|camel}}''.

Donmel may be a combination of 鈍 ''don'' (dull, slow, stupid) and ''camel''.

'''Overqwil''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ハリーマン''' ''Haryman'') is a dual-type {{2t|Dark|Poison}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced during [[Generation VIII]], in {{g|Legends: Arceus}}.

It evolves from {{rf|Hisuian}} {{p|Qwilfish}} when [[level]]ed up while knowing {{m|Barb Barrage}}.

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

==Biology==
Overqwil is a large, spherical {{wp|fish|piscine}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that resides in the sea. All over its body are overgrown conical spikes whose colors correspond to those on Overqwil's body. Its top half is black while its bottom half is light yellow; the two halves meet in the middle and form a wave pattern. The spikes on the top half of its body have parts of purple at their tips, and two very long spikes at the top and bottom of its body jut out in a straight direction. Above its eyes and around part of the top half of its body, Overqwil has circular purple dots. Its lips also have a purple coloration and appear puffy, and its small light-yellow eyes have purple pupils and are always fixated on an annoyed expression. In between its eyes are two pairs of spikes, the outer ones being longer and resembling eyebrows. Its large tail appears flat with a black outline and a purple inside, which also has a pattern that resembles the letter "Q."

Overqwil has a very aggressive personality to match its short temper, which has given it the nickname "sea fiend." Its diet consists of poison. Overqwil's poisonous spikes react automatically to targets, even while asleep. The barbed spikes will stab any moving thing that approaches Overqwil, and have been known to adhere tightly to their target. It has been recently seen along with its pre-Evolution, offshore in cold parts of the world.

Overqwil and its pre-evolved form, {{rf|Hisuian}} {{p|Qwilfish}}, are the [[signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Barb Barrage}}.

===Evolution===
Overqwil evolves from {{rf|Hisuian}} {{p|Qwilfish}} in [[Hisui]].

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

====Minor appearances====

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

==Trivia==
* Overqwil was first hinted at in {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}} before its official reveal in {{g|Legends: Arceus}}, being alluded to in a [[Sinnoh myths#The Sea's Legend|book]] in the [[Canalave Library]], where it is referred to as "a Qwilfish with huge spikes".
* Overqwil and Qwilfish are the only {{type|Poison}} {{DL|List of Pokémon by shape|Pokémon with fins}} and the only Poison-type Pokémon in the {{egg3|Water 2}}.
* In [[Generation IX]], prior to the Version 2.0.1 update of {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}, Overqwil was unable to learn {{m|Water Pulse}}, {{m|Acid Spray}}, {{m|Hex}}, and {{m|Swift}} via [[TM]], while its pre-evolved form could.
* Overqwil is one of only two Pokémon to have a "Q" in its name that is not followed by a "U" (unlike most words in the English language with a "Q" in it) with the other being its pre-Evolution Qwilfish.
* Overqwil and its pre-evolved form are the only dual-type {{2t|Poison|Dark}} Pokémon to have Dark as their primary type instead of their secondary type.

===Origin===
Overqwil appears to be based on {{wp|Tetraodontidae|pufferfish}} or {{wp|porcupinefish}}, which are covered in spines and are poisonous to eat. However, Overqwil's oversized spikes along with their ability to inject poison may be inspired by other venomous marine animals such as {{wp|lionfish}} or {{wp|sea urchin}}s. Overqwil and its pre-Evolution's notoriety amongst fishermen may be a reference to the significant threat that lionfish pose as an invasive species in the Atlantic Ocean, which might be the inspiration for Overqwil's {{t|Dark}} type.

Alternatively, its {{t|Dark}} typing and poisonous diet may be based on the illegalisation of the {{wp|fugu}} dish due to its toxicity. The law was put in place a few times in Japanese history, including the 1800s (which {{g|Legends: Arceus}} [[Pokémon world in relation to the real world#Sinnoh|appears to be based on]]), but the illegal fugu market continued and thrived for so long that the governing {{wp|shogun}}ate became incapable of enforcing the law. Hisuian Qwilfish and Overqwil appear to be rarer in recent times, which could be a reference to porcupinefish being threatened due to overfishing for the fugu dish.

Given Overqwil's physical appearance and the fact it is able to learn {{m|Self-Destruct}} (and that Qwilfish has been able to learn {{m|Explosion}} in many generations), it may also be reminiscent of a {{wp|naval mine}}. It also resembles a {{wp|Morning star (weapon)|morning star}} or the spiked end of a {{wp|Flail (weapon)|flail}}. Based on its Japanese {{pkmn|category}}, it may also be partly inspired by the ''{{wp|kenzan}}'' (剣山, lit. "sword mountain"), a device consisting of a plate with numerous needles or spikes on it, used to fix flowers in place for the art of {{wp|ikebana}} (flower arranging).

====Name origin====
Overqwil may be a combination of ''overkill'' and ''{{p|Qwilfish}}''.

Haryman may be derived from ハリーセン ''Harysen'' (Qwilfish) or 針千本 ''harisenbon'' ({{wp|porcupinefish}}), with the 千 ''sen'' (thousand) part replaced with 万 ''man'' (ten thousand or {{wp|myriad}}), continuing the numerical theming.

'''Overqwil''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ハリーマン''' ''Haryman'') is a dual-type {{2t|Dark|Poison}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced during [[Generation VIII]], in {{g|Legends: Arceus}}.

It evolves from {{rf|Hisuian}} {{p|Qwilfish}} when [[level]]ed up while knowing {{m|Barb Barrage}}.

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

==Biology==
Overqwil is a large, spherical {{wp|fish|piscine}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that resides in the sea. All over its body are overgrown conical spikes whose colors correspond to those on Overqwil's body. Its top half is black while its bottom half is light yellow; the two halves meet in the middle and form a wave pattern. The spikes on the top half of its body have parts of purple at their tips, and two very long spikes at the top and bottom of its body jut out in a straight direction. Above its eyes and around part of the top half of its body, Overqwil has circular purple dots. Its lips also have a purple coloration and appear puffy, and its small light-yellow eyes have purple pupils and are always fixated on an annoyed expression. In between its eyes are two pairs of spikes, the outer ones being longer and resembling eyebrows. Its large tail appears flat with a black outline and a purple inside, which also has a pattern that resembles the letter "Q."

Overqwil has a very aggressive personality to match its short temper, which has given it the nickname "sea fiend." Its diet consists of poison. Overqwil's poisonous spikes react automatically to targets, even while asleep. The barbed spikes will stab any moving thing that approaches Overqwil, and have been known to adhere tightly to their target. It has been recently seen along with its pre-Evolution, offshore in cold parts of the world.

Overqwil and its pre-evolved form, {{rf|Hisuian}} {{p|Qwilfish}}, are the [[signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Barb Barrage}}.

===Evolution===
Overqwil evolves from {{rf|Hisuian}} {{p|Qwilfish}} in [[Hisui]].

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

====Major appearances====

====Minor appearances====

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

==Trivia==
* Overqwil was first hinted at in {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}} before its official reveal in {{g|Legends: Arceus}}, being alluded to in a [[Sinnoh myths#The Sea's Legend|book]] in the [[Canalave Library]], where it is referred to as "a Qwilfish with huge spikes".
* Overqwil and Qwilfish are the only {{type|Poison}} {{DL|List of Pokémon by shape|Pokémon with fins}} and the only Poison-type Pokémon in the {{egg3|Water 2}}.
* In [[Generation IX]], prior to the Version 2.0.1 update of {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}, Overqwil was unable to learn {{m|Water Pulse}}, {{m|Acid Spray}}, {{m|Hex}}, and {{m|Swift}} via [[TM]], while its pre-evolved form could.
* Overqwil is one of only two Pokémon to have a "Q" in its name that is not followed by a "U" (unlike most words in the English language with a "Q" in it) with the other being its pre-Evolution Qwilfish.
* Overqwil and its pre-evolved form are the only dual-type {{2t|Poison|Dark}} Pokémon to have Dark as their primary type instead of their secondary type.

===Origin===
Overqwil appears to be based on {{wp|Tetraodontidae|pufferfish}} or {{wp|porcupinefish}}, which are covered in spines and are poisonous to eat. However, Overqwil's oversized spikes along with their ability to inject poison may be inspired by other venomous marine animals such as {{wp|lionfish}} or {{wp|sea urchin}}s. Overqwil and its pre-Evolution's notoriety amongst fishermen may be a reference to the significant threat that lionfish pose as an invasive species in the Atlantic Ocean, which might be the inspiration for Overqwil's {{t|Dark}} type.

Alternatively, its {{t|Dark}} typing and poisonous diet may be based on the illegalisation of the {{wp|fugu}} dish due to its toxicity. The law was put in place a few times in Japanese history, including the 1800s (which {{g|Legends: Arceus}} [[Pokémon world in relation to the real world#Sinnoh|appears to be based on]]), but the illegal fugu market continued and thrived for so long that the governing {{wp|shogun}}ate became incapable of enforcing the law. Hisuian Qwilfish and Overqwil appear to be rarer in recent times, which could be a reference to porcupinefish being threatened due to overfishing for the fugu dish.

Given Overqwil's physical appearance and the fact it is able to learn {{m|Self-Destruct}} (and that Qwilfish has been able to learn {{m|Explosion}} in many generations), it may also be reminiscent of a {{wp|naval mine}}. It also resembles a {{wp|Morning star (weapon)|morning star}} or the spiked end of a {{wp|Flail (weapon)|flail}}. Based on its Japanese {{pkmn|category}}, it may also be partly inspired by the ''{{wp|kenzan}}'' (剣山, lit. "sword mountain"), a device consisting of a plate with numerous needles or spikes on it, used to fix flowers in place for the art of {{wp|ikebana}} (flower arranging).

====Name origin====
Overqwil may be a combination of ''overkill'' and ''{{p|Qwilfish}}''.

Haryman may be derived from ハリーセン ''Harysen'' (Qwilfish) or 針千本 ''harisenbon'' ({{wp|porcupinefish}}), with the 千 ''sen'' (thousand) part replaced with 万 ''man'' (ten thousand or {{wp|myriad}}), continuing the numerical theming.

'''Tyranitar''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''バンギラス''' ''Bangiras'') is a dual-type {{2t|Rock|Dark}} [[pseudo-legendary Pokémon]] introduced in [[Generation II]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Pupitar}} starting at [[level]] 55. It is the final form of {{p|Larvitar}}.

Tyranitar can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into '''Mega Tyranitar''' using the [[Tyranitarite]].

The [[Paradox Pokémon]] {{p|Iron Thorns}} is said to be either a future relative of Tyranitar or a counterpart of it from a parallel timeline.

==Biology==
Tyranitar is a large, bipedal, dinosaurian {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with a green, armor-like hide covering its body. It has two pairs of pointed teeth: one in the upper jaw and one in the lower. Several spikes of varying sizes protrude from the back of its head, neck, and shoulders. Both sides of its chest, the center of its back, and its knees have two triangular holes. There is a gray, diamond-shaped patch of scales covering its belly and a smaller one on its back. It has three claws on its feet and hands. A ring of spikes surrounds the tip of its tail.

Tyranitar is a powerful Pokémon with an insolent nature, uncaring of others. It is extremely strong, and its thick, rocky hide gives it good resistance to all forms of attack. As mentioned in {{g|Sleep}}, Tyranitar can often be seen sleeping in a relaxed position with its limbs spread wide, unconcerned about its surroundings due to its overwhelming power and strong, armored body.<ref>[[Sleep style|Sleep Style Dex]]</ref> As a result, Tyranitar is always looking for a battle and will not flinch at anything, though it ignores opponents that it thinks are not worth its time.

Tyranitar's physical strength is so great that it can forcefully crush anything using one of its hands. If enraged, Tyranitar sets off outstanding earthquakes that can completely change the entire landscape, destroying houses and mountains, burying rivers, and often forcing cartographers to draw up new maps. It lives in nests made from demolished {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Mountain Pokémon|mountains}}. In the [[Galar]] [[region]], it has a fierce rivalry with {{p|Duraludon}}, which it shares its habitat with, often battling each other in the mountains.<ref>[https://swordshield.pokemon.com/en-us/pokemon-galar-region/duraludon/ Duraludon |Official Website |Pokémon Sword and Pokémon Shield]</ref> {{p|Iron Thorns}} is believed to be a relative of Tyranitar from one billion years in the future.

Prior to [[Generation IV]], Tyranitar was the [[signature Ability|only known Pokémon]] that could have {{a|Sand Stream}} as an [[Ability]].

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

Mega Tyranitar has more gaps in its armor than its normal form, with four new triangular holes along the sides of its neck and one on its throat. The four holes on its chest are now larger with the top two containing red ovals. While the spikes along the back of its neck grow shorter, the ones on its head elongate to form prominent ridges along its brows. The center spike on its head becomes a long, upright horn. Its chest plate expands, curving over its shoulders and along its back to form three long, irregular spikes on each side of its body. The scales on Mega Tyranitar's belly have now become red instead of blue and seethe with energy, enabling it to emanate more power.<ref>http://www.pokemonxy.com/en-us/pokemon/mega_pokemon/#Tyranitar</ref> It gains two sharp spikes on its knees, as well as more prominent leg joints. Its tail lengthens, with the three spikes surrounding its tip growing upward and outward. Its back had split open because of the overwhelming power from Mega Evolution. As a Mega Tyranitar, its instincts have only become more destructive, to the point where it may not even be able to hear its Trainer's orders.

==Trivia==
[[File:Magazine Tyranitar.png|thumb|150px|Monster design by Ken Sugimori, published in April 1997<ref name=MicroDesign/>]]
* No other Pokémon has the same [[type]] [[List of Pokémon with unique type combinations|combination]] as Tyranitar.
* Tyranitar is the only {{type|Dark}} Pokémon in the {{egg3|Monster}}.
* Tyranitar shares its {{pkmn|category}} name with {{p|Donphan}}. They are both known as the Armor Pokémon.
* [[Mega Evolution|Mega]] Tyranitar is tied with Mega {{p|Diancie}} for the highest base stat total of all {{type|Rock}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} and it also has the highest base stat total of all {{type|Dark}} Pokémon (excluding an {{P|Arceus}} holding a [[Stone Plate]] or a [[Dread Plate]]).
** Mega Tyranitar has the highest base {{stat|Attack}} and {{stat|Defense}} stats of all Dark-type Pokémon.
* Tyranitar's design heavily resembles a monster design illustrated by [[Ken Sugimori]] for Volume 14 of MicroDesign Publishing's ''Bimonthly Game Review'' (Japanese: 隔月刊ゲーム批評) magazine, published in April 1997. According to Sugimori, the monster design was meant to be an original creation unrelated to Pokémon.<ref name=MicroDesign>''Bimonthly Game Review'' magazine, Vol. 14 (April 1997). ''MicroDesign Publishing''. ([https://web.archive.org/web/20160308190849/http://www.hairyticksofdune.net/dropbox/sugimori.html transcript with English translations]; Plague von Karma's [https://imgur.com/FFLW01B scan with English translations] and [https://plaguevonkarmabeta.weebly.com/blog/microgroup-game-review-vol14-sugimori-retranslated translator notes])</ref>

===Origin===


Tyranitar's design may have drawn inspiration from the ''{{wp|kaiju}}'' genre; its upright posture may allude to how most ''kaiju'' are humanoid in shape, due to the need to fit a person inside the suit. Mega Tyranitar's back splitting open and green coloration may be based on an insect emerging from its cocoon.

Another influence it may have is with the {{wp|Armadillo girdled lizard}}, a desert-dwelling lizard mainly distinguished by its especially firm scales, or certain {{wp|Theropoda|theropod}} dinosaurs.

====Name origin====
Tyranitar may be derived from ''tyrant'' or ''{{wp|Tyrannosaurus}}'' (both derived from the same root), and ''{{wp|tar}}'' (alluding to the misconception of petroleum and tar originating from dinosaurs) or ''{{wp|Reptar}}''. It may also involve ''{{wp|Tarasque}}''.

Bangiras may be a combination of 野蛮 ''yaban'' (savage) or 蛮 ''ban'' (barbarian), 嫌い ''kirai'' (hated), and ソーラス ''sōrasu'', a corruption of サウルス ''saurusu'' (''-saurus'', Greek-derived suffix for dinosaur names).

'''Emboar''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''エンブオー''' ''Enbuoh'') is a dual-type {{t|Fire}}/{{t|Fighting}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation V]].

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

Emboar can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into '''Mega Emboar''' using the [[Emboarite]]. Mega Emboar was introduced in [[Pokémon Legends: Z-A]].

==Biology==
Emboar is a bulky, bipedal {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with pig-like features. It has a red nose, large bushy black eyebrows, and two tusks protruding from its lower jaw. Constantly burning flames cover the front of its neck and shoulders. The fire beard comes from the body flame within its body. It has short legs and thick arms. Its arms have orange upper portions while the legs have red upper portions. All of its limbs have black lower portions with thin yellow lines where the upper and lower colors meet. These lines are straight on the arms and spiked on the legs. The arms have red lines around the wrists and tufts of fur on the elbows. The hands are tipped with three claws, while the feet have two claws. A large, dark horizontal stripe on the chest of Emboar has swirled yellow markings. Its small tail ends in a tuft of hair.

Using the wreath of flames on its neck and shoulders, Emboar will set its hands on fire. It uses its power and speed to master fighting moves. This power can be increased when Emboar's neck flame intensifies. The more dire the situation is, the more excited Emboar becomes to the point of enjoying itself. Though very tough and relentless when fighting, it shows deep affection for those it considers friends. It can also unleash powerful blasts of fire using only its nose and cloak its body in a fire to use many powerful attacks.

Prior to [[Generation VIII]], Emboar and its pre-evolved forms were the [[Signature Ability|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Heat Crash}}.

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

The wreath of flames on Emboar's neck expands and covers Mega Emboar's chest and shoulders like an armor; the flames are mostly red, with yellow marks around the chest and neck area. Its waist is covered in long red fur, and the combination of this fur with Mega Emboar's chest flames altogether resemble an angry face with an open mouth. Its tusks grow longer, with additional, smaller tusks on each side. The fur around its elbows also become longer, and it has red and yellow stripes on its arms and legs. Mega Emboar's eyebrows take on sharper, triangular shapes, accompanied by circular brows above each eye. It gains a tuft of hair on the back of its head, resembling a topknot.

Upon Mega Evolution, Emboar wields a blazing flame shaped like a serpentine spear, which is red with yellow in the middle. The upper half of the spear is more jagged than the bottom half, and the top of the spear is split into two tines that curve outward. Mega Emboar is known for using this spear in battle to both defend and strike down foes. During combat, Mega Emboar charges into the fray to rescue any imperiled allies from danger.

===Evolution===
Emboar evolves from {{p|Pignite}} and is the final form of {{p|Tepig}}.

==Trivia==
[[File:Emboar Yellow Battle Chess.png|thumb|Emboar in Pokémon Battle Chess]]
* Emboar, {{p|Samurott}}, and {{p|Serperior}} all share the same base stat total of 528.
* In some games, the [[Pokédex]] states that Emboar can "throw a fire punch". However, this was first said in [[Pokémon Black and White Versions|Pokémon Black]], while Emboar was unable to learn the move {{m|Fire Punch}} until [[Pokémon Black and White Versions 2|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2]].
** In the Japanese version of the Pokédex entries, the "fire punch" is written as 「ほのおのパンチ」 (in the kanji version, the equivalent is 「炎のパンチ」). Except for the addition of a space, this is almost the same as 「ほのおのパンチ」 (the Japanese name of Fire Punch). Similarly, the English Pokédex text mentions "fire punch" in lowercase, while moves like "Fire Punch" are written in {{wp|title case}} instead.
* Emboar appears in {{DL|Pokémon Battle Chess|Pokémon Battle Chess BW Version}}. Along with {{p|Victini}}, it is the only piece that has its power raised when damaged. Also, along with {{p|Zoroark}}, Emboar doesn't behave like any traditional piece in chess.
* Emboar has the highest base {{stat|HP}} stat among all fully evolved [[first partner Pokémon]].
* Mega Emboar is the [[List of Pokémon with unique base stat totals|only Pokémon]] with a base stat total of 628.

===Origin===
Emboar is based on a boar. Additionally, [[Ken Sugimori]] has said that Tepig, Pignite, and Emboar were designed in a Chinese style, specifically mentioning the character of {{wp|Zhang Fei}} from ''{{wp|Romance of the Three Kingdoms}}'' as Emboar's inspiration.<ref name=ND201>''Nintendo Dream'' Vol. 201, January 2011 ([http://lavacutcontent.com/ken-sugimori-nintendo-dream-3/ Translation by Dr. Lava])</ref> Zhang Fei was assassinated by his own subordinates, and had his head severed and presented for the opposing faction, which may be alluded to in Emboar's design, as its head is "separated" from its body by a wreath of fire. The wreath of fire also resembles a cape or a scarf. Emboar may also be based on {{wp|Zhu Bajie}}, a pig demon from the Chinese tale ''{{wp|Journey to the West}}''. {{p|Serperior}}, Emboar, and {{p|Samurott}}'s evolutionary lines are collectively based on Western, Chinese, and Japanese culture respectively, to represent the diversity of the [[Unova]] region.<ref name=ND201/>

Appearance-wise, Emboar looks much like a {{wp|wild boar}} with elements of a {{wp|British Saddleback}} in a {{wp|wrestling singlet}}. The swirl pattern around its abdomen resembles the patterns on a ''{{wp|Ding (vessel)|ding}}'' or {{wp|Pottery of ancient Greece|ancient Greek pottery}}.

Emboar's Fighting typing might be a reference to {{wp|war pig}}s, more specifically incendiary pigs, a form of ancient warfare reported by a couple of Greek military writers.

Mega Emboar seems to emphasize the aforementioned inspiration from Zhang Fei, as he was said to own a "1.8 ''[[wp:Chi_(unit)|zhang]]'' long serpent spear", a weapon similar to the one Emboar obtains upon Mega Evolving.

====Name origin====
Emboar may be a combination of ''ember'', ''emperor'', and ''boar''.

Enbuoh may be a combination of 炎 ''en'' (flame), 豚 ''buta'' (pig), 武 ''bu'' (martial arts), ブー ''bū'' (oink), 王 ''ō'' (king), and possibly ''ember'' and ''boar''.

'''Greninja''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ゲッコウガ''' ''Gekkouga'') is a dual-type {{2t|Water|Dark}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation VI]].

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

Greninja with the [[Ability]] {{a|Battle Bond}} are treated internally as a [[#Form data|distinct form]]. Battle Bond activates upon defeating an opponent: in [[Generation VII]], it allows Greninja to change into a special form known as '''Ash-Greninja'''; however, following the removal of Ash-Greninja in [[Generation IX]], it was reworked to instead increase Greninja's [[stat]]s.

Greninja can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into '''Mega Greninja''' using the [[Greninjite]]. Mega Greninja was introduced in [[Pokémon Legends: Z-A]].

(Refer to [[#Form data|Game data→Form data]] for more details.)

==Biology==
Greninja is a bipedal, {{wp|frog}}-like {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. It is mostly dark blue with a yellow chest and abdomen, a white triangular marking over each eye, a light blue four-pointed star on each thigh, and yellow on the lower half of its face. It has red eyes with white pupils and its mouth is hidden behind a large, pink tongue that wraps around its neck and extends outward behind its head. Running down the middle of its head is a fin-like extension, and there is a similar fin on each side of its head. Light blue webbing connects its head fins. There is a large, white bubble-like bump on each elbow and knee. Its back feet have two toes, while its front feet have three toes. Each digit has a bulbous tip and yellow webbing.

Greninja's movements are swift, rapid, and graceful, akin to those of ninja.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20160224014849/http://www.pokemonxy.com/en-us/pokemon/starters/ Starter Pokémon (Archived)]</ref> It uses this speed to confound enemies while slicing them up. It can compress water into various weapons to slice up enemies, most commonly in the form of {{m|Water Shuriken|water shurikens}}, though it has been shown creating water katana and water kunai in both the {{pkmn|animated series}} and the [[Super Smash Bros. series|Super Smash Bros.]] video game series. It can also create shuriken from the mucus it excretes from its thighs for sharp projectiles that can split through metal. As seen in the animated series, Greninja's tongue is extremely long and many times its own height, and strong enough to catch and hold an average human. However, it usually keeps its tongue wrapped around its neck like a scarf. Doing so exposes its tongue to air movements, allowing Greninja to detect enemies it otherwise could not see.

In [[Generation VI]], {{m|Mat Block}} was its [[signature move]]. In [[Generation IX]], {{m|Water Shuriken}} is its signature move.

===Forms===
Greninja has two alternate forms: Ash-Greninja and Mega Greninja.

;Ash-Greninja
[[File:Ash Greninja SM concept art.jpg|thumb|left|220px|Concept art of Ash-Greninja from Pokémon Sun and Moon]]
As Ash-Greninja, its appearance has changed in order to more closely resemble {{Ash}}, specifically in his {{aniseries|XY}} outfit. Its skin is now a lighter shade of blue, and the yellow on its chest and abdomen has been reduced to a much smaller area. The fin-like extension on top of its head and the area between its eyes have turned red. The outer part of its side fins has turned black, as well as its cheeks, which now also puff out, resembling tufts of hair with a small, thunderbolt-shaped red streak. It now has a four-pointed star mark on its back as well, from where it creates large water shurikens. Unlike regular Greninja, Ash-Greninja is most commonly seen standing up and is always male.

Through an occurrence called the [[Bond Phenomenon]], brought on by the bonds between people and Pokémon, certain Greninja, such as [[Ash's Greninja]] in {{aniseries|PTS}}, can tap into an almost miraculous source of power in battles where they need to break their limits. Ash-Greninja's legs have strengthened, increasing its speed to a point where it moves so quickly that it becomes difficult to see and enabling it to dispatch opponents in a flash.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20171023143056mp_/http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon/ash-greninja/ Ash-Greninja – Pokémon Sun and Moon (Archived)]</ref> As seen in the {{pkmn|animated series}}, the large water shuriken on its back is the symbol of a perfect transformation; before this state is reached, Ash-Greninja is covered in a turbulent veil of water.

Ash-Greninja is the [[Signature Ability|only known Pokémon]] that can have {{a|Battle Bond}} as an [[Ability]].

As of [[Generation IX]], due to Battle Bond being reworked, Greninja can no longer transform into Ash-Greninja.
{{left clear}}

;Mega Greninja
[[File:Mega Greninja large Water Shuriken.jpg|250px|thumb|left|Mega Greninja using its giant Water Shuriken]]
As Mega Greninja, its body is now mostly black, except for its lower legs, upper arms, and hands, which retain the same color, making it appear as though it is wearing a ninja outfit. The fins on either side of its head have extended outward and turned light blue, resembling shuriken with one edge much longer than the others. The four-pointed star marks it had on its thighs have been replaced by actual water shurikens. Mega Greninja clings upside down to a giant, floating, and continually spinning six-pointed water shuriken it created from a gelatinous membrane secreted from its body. The shuriken levitates due to its high spinning speed.

[[Mega Evolution]] has significantly enhanced Mega Greninja's reflexes; as a result, it has forgone stealth, showcasing the confidence it has on its capabilities. By intentionally revealing itself, it provokes opponents into attacking, and its sharp reflexes enable it to both react accordingly and strike first. The mere sight of Mega Greninja clinging to its giant water shuriken is able to distract opponents, allowing it to preemptively render them unable to attack by binding them with its long tongue. Once its opponents are immobilized, Mega Greninja charges at them to strike with its massive shuriken.<ref>

====Ash-Greninja====
In the [[S19|''XY&Z'' arc]] of {{aniseries|XY}}, [[Ash's Greninja]] gained the ability to transform into a stronger form known as "Ash-Greninja" through an occurrence referred to as the [[Bond Phenomenon]]. This form was introduced to the [[core series]] games in {{g|Sun and Moon}}.

In the [[Generation VII]] games, a Greninja with the Ability {{a|Battle Bond}} will transform into Ash-Greninja after it directly causes an opponent to [[fainting|faint]] without ending the battle. It will remain in this form until either it faints or the battle ends; in the former case, this prevents it from changing back into Ash-Greninja for the remainder of the battle. Ash-Greninja has different [[base stats]] than regular Greninja, with increased {{stat|Attack}}, {{stat|Special Attack}}, and {{stat|Speed}}. Additionally, the [[move]] {{m|Water Shuriken}} will be more [[power]]ful, having 20 power instead of 15, and will always hit 3 times, instead of varying between 2-5 hits. Ash-Greninja is not possible to obtain in the core series as of {{g|Scarlet and Violet|s}} due to Battle Bond having its effect changed.

Internally, standard Greninja with Battle Bond are considered to be a separate form to Greninja with {{a|Torrent}} or {{a|Protean}}. These Greninja are always [[gender|male]], cannot {{pkmn|breeding|breed}}, and, like [[Special Pokémon]], are banned from the [[Battle Spot]]. A Greninja with Battle Bond can be transferred to Pokémon Sun and Moon from the [[Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon Special Demo Version|Special Demo Version]]. This is the only way to obtain it, so it is no longer obtainable for players who did not download the demo before the discontinuation of the 3DS Nintendo eShop on March 27, 2023.

====Major appearances====
=====[[Ash's Greninja]]=====
{{Ash}}'s Frogadier evolved into a Greninja in ''[[XY100|A Festival of Decisions!]]'' while battling [[Heidayu]]'s {{p|Bisharp}}. It soon gained the ability to [[Bond Phenomenon|transform]] into Ash-Greninja.

=====[[Sanpei's Greninja]]=====
A Greninja appeared in ''[[XY052|A Stealthy Challenge!]]'', under the ownership of [[Sanpei]]. It reappeared in ''[[XY099|The Legend of the Ninja Hero!]]'' and ''[[XY100|A Festival of Decisions!]]''. It was mostly seen [[Walking Pokémon|outside of its Poké Ball]].

=====Other=====
Greninja debuted in ''[[XY017|A Rush of Ninja Wisdom!]]'', under the ownership of [[Ippei]], but only in a fantasy. His Greninja made its physical debut in ''[[XY099|The Legend of the Ninja Hero!]]'', later reappearing in [[XY100|the next episode]].

==Trivia==
* Greninja is the only fully evolved form of a [[first partner Pokémon]] that has an {{pkmn2|event}}-exclusive Ability.
* Greninja and its pre-Evolutions are the only Water-type first partner Pokémon line to be exclusive to the Water 1 Egg Group.
* Greninja shares its {{pkmn|category}} with {{p|Ninjask}}. They are both known as the Ninja Pokémon.
* Greninja won first place in the Japanese [http://www.pokemon-movie.jp/election/ Pokémon general election 720] (Japanese: '''ポケモン総選挙720''') poll to decide what Pokémon would be distributed at showings of ''[[M19|Volcanion and the Mechanical Marvel]]'' in Japan.
* It was revealed that Greninja was added into [[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U]] before [[Pokémon X and Y]] was even released. Masahiro Sakurai knew that a [[Generation VI]] Pokémon was going to be a playable fighter in that game, so when Greninja was decided, all they had to go on in terms of design was concept art, similar to {{few|Roy}} during the development of [[Super Smash Bros. Melee]].
* In the [[Pokémon of the Year]] vote held by [[The Pokémon Company International]] and {{wp|Google}} in February 2020, Greninja won first place with 140,559 votes and beat {{p|Lucario}} at second place (102,259 votes) and {{p|Mimikyu}} at third (99,077 votes).
* Greninja is the only Pokémon playable in [[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]] that is unavailable in a [[Generation VIII]] [[core series]] game.
** Greninja's appearance in Ultimate was its only appearance in a [[Nintendo Switch]] game until [[Pokémon UNITE]]'s release in 2021.
* Ash-Greninja is the only Pokémon to have no viewable [[Pokédex entry|Pokédex entries]] in {{g|HOME}}'s {{OBP|Pokédex|HOME}}.
** Because all forms prior to [[Generation VII]] shared entries with their original appearance, and due to Greninja not being in any regional Pokédex at all, Ash-Greninja is the only Pokémon to not have a Pokédex entry in any capacity.
* Mega Greninja, Mega {{p|Chesnaught}}, and Mega {{p|Delphox}} were the last Mega Evolutions revealed before the release of {{g|Legends Z-A}}, along with Mega {{p|Raichu}} X and Mega Raichu Y.
* Mega Greninja has the highest base {{stat|Speed}} stat of all {{type|Water}} Pokémon.

===Origin===
Greninja's overall appearance is based on a frog,<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20141007232727/http://www.officialnintendomagazine.co.uk/55933/features/interview-game-freak-on-the-origins-of-pokmon-x-y/ Official Nintendo Magazine - Interview: Game Freak on the origins of Pokémon X & Y (Archived)]</ref> and it may have been inspired by horned frogs from the {{wp|Genus|genera}} ''{{wp|Megophrys}}'' and ''{{wp|Ceratophrys}}'' due to the spiked protrusions above its eyes. Its color scheme and body shape is similar to that of the {{wp|splendid leaf frog}}. The bubble-like protrusions on its body may be based on a toad's {{wp|parotoid gland}}s, possibly referencing the traditional myth of {{wp|True toad|toads}} causing {{wp|wart}}s, though they may also be remnants of Froakie and Frogadier's frubbles.

As its species name implies, Greninja is also based on a {{wp|ninja}}. Japanese culture associates frogs and toads with ninjas based on the folk story ''The Tale of the Gallant {{wp|Jiraiya}}'' (Japanese: 児雷也豪傑物語 ''Jiraiya Gōketsu Monogatari''), about a ninja who can shapeshift into a large toad. Greninja and its pre-Evolutions may also draw inspiration from the thief or rogue {{wp|character class}} in {{wp|role-playing game}}s, which are generally ranged combatants that often rely on speed and stealth, focusing more on dodging attacks rather than withstanding damage.

Ash-Greninja's appearance is based on {{Ash}}'s attire in {{aniseries|XY}} and his hair. On its back it wears a {{wp|shuriken}} (ninja star) made out of water.

Mega Greninja's black coloring may be based on the archetypal ninja outfit. Its habit of standing underneath a large water shuriken may draw from the ninja's supposed ability to impossibly walk and hang from surfaces, such as ceilings. It is also reminiscent of a frog on a {{wp|Nymphaeaceae|lily pad}}. Its large water shuriken may also be a reference to Ash-Greninja's giant Water Shuriken in the anime.

====Name origin====
Greninja may be a combination of ''grenouille'' (French for frog) and ''ninja''.

Gekkouga may be a combination of げこっ ''geko'' (croak) or 月光 ''gekkō'' (moonlight, in reference to a popular conception of ninja running through the night or to Greninja's Dark typing) and 甲賀流 ''{{wp|Kōga-ryū}}''.

'''Skarmory''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''{{j|エアームド}}''' ''Airmd'') is a dual-type {{2t|Steel|Flying}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation II]].

While it is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon, Skarmory can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into '''Mega Skarmory''' using the [[Skarmorite]]. Mega Skarmory was introduced in [[Pokémon Legends: Z-A]].

==Biology==
Skarmory is a silver-gray, {{wp|Aves|avian}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with a long, metallic blue neck, legs, and tail. It has yellow eyes, a pointed beak with several pointed teeth, and a triangular crest on its head. Skarmory's entire body is coated in an {{a|Sturdy|extremely sturdy}} steel armor. There are red feathers under the sheaths that cover its sharp wings, and each feather can be moved independently. Its wings are actually hollow, allowing it to travel up to 185 mph (300 km/h). Its feet have three toes on them, two in front and one in back, and its tail has hooked ends.

Its steel wings become tattered and bashed in from repeated battles, but once a year the battered wings grow back completely. This process restores the cutting edges of its feathers, which are sharper than any human-crafted sword. Its skin and feathers are solid due to being raised in very {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Rough-terrain Pokémon|harsh conditions}}. Its nests are usually found in thorn bushes, where continual scratching of a young individual's skin will eventually harden it into the strong, armor-like state associated with its adult stage. However, water can cause Skarmory's hard body to rust easily, so it stays in its nest on rainy days. In ancient regions where these Pokémon are common, warriors would use the sharp feathers that fell off Skarmory to craft swords. It is a popular Pokémon that is used for heraldic designs, and in [[Galar]], it has violent territorial clashes with {{p|Corviknight}}. In [[Blueberry Academy]], Skarmory is used for the school's [[Flying Taxi]] service.

In [[Generation V]], {{m|Steel Wing}} was its [[signature move]], but other Pokémon could still inherit it via {{pkmn|breeding}}.

=== Forms ===
Skarmory can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into '''Mega Skarmory'''.

Mega Skarmory changes Skarmory into a bright gold color. Its talons become enormous and armored; the actual foot is dark blue and is each of its three individual talons is covered by a golden sheath. It holds these massive talons behind its body as it flies. Additionally, its wings become larger and spikier; its red feathers turn dark blue and the sheaths covering them turn the same shade of gold. The first of these blue feathers is the longest, shortening with each subsequent feather. Skarmory's eyes become narrow and red, and its tail becomes three-pronged. Two additional dark blue feathers grow behind the triangular crest on its head.

Mega Skarmory can fly faster than the speed of sound. It conjures shock waves to send its opponents flying, then finishes them off with its large, sharp talons.

==Game data==
===NPC appearances===
* [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon]]: Skarmory resides at the top of [[Mt. Steel]] where it does not like being disturbed. Skarmory holds a {{p|Diglett}} captive and attacks the player. After being defeated, it flies away and doesn't return.
* {{vg|Pokémon Ranger}}: Skarmory is [[Elita]]'s partner Pokémon. The player also sees it at the Grassland Challenge.

[[Carr]] used a Skarmory to escape from [[Team Rocket airship|Team Rocket's airship]] in ''[[PS298|Start the Countdown, Starmie]]''.

In ''[[PS305|Interesting Interactions Involving Illumise]]'', Skarmory was the first [[rental Pokémon]] used by {{adv|Emerald}} in his {{gdis|Battle Factory|III}} team.

The Battle Factory rented a Skarmory, which was stolen by [[Guile Hideout]] in ''[[PS315|Skirting Around Surskit I]]''.

The Battle Factory rented another Skarmory, which was also stolen by Guile Hideout in ''[[PS326|Lemme at 'Em, Lapras!]]''.

In the {{OBP|Pokémon Stadium 2|stage}}, a Skarmory can be seen flying on the {{t|Flying}} Terrain. Other guest Pokémon found in the Flying Terrain include a {{p|Drifloon}} and a {{p|Hoppip}} drifting in the distance.

====Trophy information====
''"An Armor Bird Pokémon with a steel-hard body and wings. It flies at speeds up to 186 miles per hour and slices enemies with sharp steel wings that grow dull over time. It grows new wings once a year, which regain their original sharpness. It's said that people used to use fallen wings for swords and knives. It can fly so quickly and freely because it has light, hollow bones."''

===[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]===
Skarmory appears as a {{sbw|Spirits (characters)|Spirit}}.

==Trivia==
* Skarmory has the highest base {{stat|Defense}} stat of all {{type|Flying}} Pokémon.
* Skarmory's number in the [[List of Pokémon by Johto Pokédex number|Johto Pokédex]] and [[List of Pokémon by Unova Pokédex number#List of Pokémon by New Unova Pokédex number|New Unova Pokédex]] are the same: 203.
* A Skarmory is featured in {{p|Cyndaquil}}'s [[List of Pokémon by Blueberry Pokédex number|Blueberry]] [[Pokédex]] image battling a Cyndaquil. This [[List of cross-canon references|references]] the episode ''[[EP152|Hot Matches!]]'', which featured [[Miki|a Trainer's]] Skarmory battling [[Ash's Quilava|Ash's Cyndaquil]].
* Skarmory's sprites in [[Pokémon Gold and Silver Versions|Gold and Silver]] featured a second tail above the first. This extra tail is not featured in any artwork, and was removed in [[Pokémon Crystal Version|Crystal]].
* Skarmory was originally introduced as '''{{j|ヨロイドリ}}''' ''Yoroidori'' in the {{g|Gold and Silver Spaceworld '97 demo}}, which is also its Japanese {{pkmn|category}} ({{j|よろいどりポケモン}} ''Armor Bird Pokémon'').

===Origin===
Skarmory has much in common with the {{wp|Andean condor}} and {{wp|Crane (bird)|crane}}s, birds that are held in high esteem in Japan. It is also similar to many mythological, metallic birds such as the {{wp|Stymphalian birds}}, the {{wp|Gagana}}, and the {{wp|Alicanto}}. In addition, its design resembles a {{wp|wyvern}}.

Its concept could also be a pun on 鶴 ''tsuru'' (crane), referencing a paper crane, and 剣 ''tsurugi'' (sword). Its wings also resemble a Japanese paper {{wp|hand fan}}.

====Name origin====
Skarmory may be a combination of ''sky'' and ''{{wp|armory}}'' or ''armor''. It may also involve ''scar''.

Airmd may be a combination of {{j|エア}} ''air'' and {{j|アームド}} ''armed'', which are {{wp|gairaigo}}.

Yoroidori is the combination of [https://jisho.org/word/鎧 {{j|鎧}}] ''yoroi'', "armor", and [https://jisho.org/word/鳥 {{j|鳥}}] ''tori'', "bird" (with its {{wp|Dakuten and handakuten|phonetic shift}} to ''dori'').

'''Froslass''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ユキメノコ''' ''Yukimenoko'') is a [[type|dual-type]] {{2t|Ice|Ghost}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation IV]].

It [[Evolution|evolve]]s from a [[gender|female]] {{p|Snorunt}} when exposed to a [[Dawn Stone]]. It is one of {{p|Snorunt}}'s final forms, the other being {{p|Glalie}}.

Froslass can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into '''Mega Froslass''' using the [[Froslassite]]. Mega Froslass was introduced in {{g|Legends: Z-A}}.

==Biology==
Froslass is a regal, humanoid {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with a hollow torso that resembles a {{wp|kimono}}. It wears a red band around its waist, reminiscent of an {{wp|Obi (sash)|obi}}. Its body lacks feet and it floats in the air like its counterpart, {{p|Glalie}}. Its arms are connected to the sides of its head and flare at the wrists. The flared portion has a dappled light blue coloration. Its hands consist of three small fingers. Froslass's head is shaped similar to a sideways water droplet and is topped with two ice crystals that resemble horns. Its head has several holes on it, resembling a mask. Through two of these holes, crystal blue eyes with yellow sclerae can be seen. It also has a mouth below this "mask".

Froslass lives in snowy caverns and has the ability to freeze foes with its {{tt|−58 degrees Fahrenheit|−50 degrees Celsius}} breath. It preys on frozen souls and is particularly fond of the souls of men. While it enjoys hunting for handsome men climbing in the mountains, it has also been known to freeze Pokémon to turn them into decorations. Froslass is known to bring its frozen victims back to the cave it lives in before lining them up neatly. It also goes down to human homes to knock on doors during nights of cold blizzards. There is a legend that Froslass will place curses on any men that misbehave. It possesses a range of spectral powers and can create illusions to manipulate others, as depicted in the {{aniseries|DP}} episode ''[[DP116|The Drifting Snorunt!]]''. Froslass is a female-only species and is said in legends to have been formed when the spirit and lingering regrets of a woman who was lost in the mountains possessed an icicle.

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

Mega Froslass's body generally doubles in size, becoming taller in height and its horns growing longer and sharper. Its kimono-like torso now flows all the way down and has become layered in appearance, the bottom layers being purple and light blue. It has multiple ice crystals growing from the bottom of its body, some of which cluster together to form a snowflake shape. Mega Froslass does not levitate freely, but rather floats on top of a flat mass of cloud that emanates from the bottom of its kimono, the cloud itself barely touching the ground.

Mega Froslass's ability to manipulate ice and freeze objects has increased substantially; it can use cold air infused with spectral energy to freeze things that are intangible, such as wind or flames.

===Evolution===
Froslass evolves from [[Gender|female]] {{p|Snorunt}} and is one of its final forms, the other being {{p|Glalie}}.

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

==Trivia==
* No other Pokémon has the same [[type]] [[List of Pokémon with unique type combinations|combination]] as Froslass.
* Due to [[List of censored words in Generation V|the censor]] that prevents Pokémon with offensive [[nickname]]s being traded on the [[GTS]], an English language Froslass could not be traded on the GTS without a nickname in {{game|Black and White|s}}.
* Froslass's Pokédex entry in Pokémon SoulSilver has a typo where the period at the end of the sentence is missing. This error does not occur in Pokémon HeartGold.
* Froslass and its evolutionary relatives are the only {{type|Ice}} Pokémon in the {{egg3|Fairy}}.
** Froslass is also the only {{type|Ghost}} Pokémon in the Fairy Egg Group.
* Froslass is the only Ice-type {{DL|List of Pokémon by shape|Pokémon consisting of a head and arms}}.
* In [[Generation IX]], prior to the Version 2.0.1 update of {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}, Froslass was unable to learn {{m|Trailblaze}} via [[TM]], while its pre-Evolution could.
* Froslass is the only Pokémon within its evolutionary line that does not possess three {{Abilities}}.

===Origin===
Froslass is most likely based on {{wp|Yuki-onna}}, a female ice-spirit of Japanese folklore. Its body shape also resembles a {{wp|kokeshi}} doll. Due to its red sash, it appears to be wearing a {{wp|kimono}}.

Mega Froslass's taller, more regal design may be influenced from the Western fairy-tale {{wp|The Snow Queen}}. It might be also based on {{wp|Takaonna}}, a female tall-spirit of Japanese folklore. Its elongated horns resemble those of an {{wp|oni}}.

====Name origin====
Froslass may be a combination of ''frost'' and ''lass''.

Yukimenoko may be a combination of 雪 ''yuki'' (snow), 雪女 ''yuki-onna'' (snow woman), and 女の子 ''menoko'' (archaic word for girl).

'''Froslass''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ユキメノコ''' ''Yukimenoko'') is a [[type|dual-type]] {{2t|Ice|Ghost}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation IV]].

It [[Evolution|evolve]]s from a [[gender|female]] {{p|Snorunt}} when exposed to a [[Dawn Stone]]. It is one of {{p|Snorunt}}'s final forms, the other being {{p|Glalie}}.

Froslass can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into '''Mega Froslass''' using the [[Froslassite]]. Mega Froslass was introduced in {{g|Legends: Z-A}}.

==Biology==
Froslass is a regal, humanoid {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with a hollow torso that resembles a {{wp|kimono}}. It wears a red band around its waist, reminiscent of an {{wp|Obi (sash)|obi}}. Its body lacks feet and it floats in the air like its counterpart, {{p|Glalie}}. Its arms are connected to the sides of its head and flare at the wrists. The flared portion has a dappled light blue coloration. Its hands consist of three small fingers. Froslass's head is shaped similar to a sideways water droplet and is topped with two ice crystals that resemble horns. Its head has several holes on it, resembling a mask. Through two of these holes, crystal blue eyes with yellow sclerae can be seen. It also has a mouth below this "mask".

Froslass lives in snowy caverns and has the ability to freeze foes with its {{tt|−58 degrees Fahrenheit|−50 degrees Celsius}} breath. It preys on frozen souls and is particularly fond of the souls of men. While it enjoys hunting for handsome men climbing in the mountains, it has also been known to freeze Pokémon to turn them into decorations. Froslass is known to bring its frozen victims back to the cave it lives in before lining them up neatly. It also goes down to human homes to knock on doors during nights of cold blizzards. There is a legend that Froslass will place curses on any men that misbehave, and it can likewise imbue its freezing attacks with spectral energy. As evidenced in the {{aniseries|DP}} episode ''[[DP116|The Drifting Snorunt!]]'', it can create illusions to manipulate others. Froslass is a female-only species and is said in legends to have been formed when the spirit and lingering regrets of a woman who was lost in the mountains possessed an icicle.

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

Mega Froslass's body generally doubles in size, becoming taller in height and its horns growing longer and sharper. Its kimono-like torso now flows all the way down and has become layered in appearance, the bottom layers being purple and light blue. It has multiple ice crystals growing from the bottom of its body, some of which cluster together to form a snowflake shape. Mega Froslass does not levitate freely, but rather floats on top of a flat mass of cloud that emanates from the bottom of its kimono, the cloud itself barely touching the ground.

Mega Froslass's ability to manipulate ice and freeze objects has increased substantially; it can use cold air infused with spectral energy to freeze things that are intangible, such as wind or flames.

===Evolution===
Froslass evolves from [[Gender|female]] {{p|Snorunt}} and is one of its final forms, the other being {{p|Glalie}}.

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

==Trivia==
* No other Pokémon has the same [[type]] [[List of Pokémon with unique type combinations|combination]] as Froslass.
* Due to [[List of censored words in Generation V|the censor]] that prevents Pokémon with offensive [[nickname]]s being traded on the [[GTS]], an English language Froslass could not be traded on the GTS without a nickname in {{game|Black and White|s}}.
* Froslass's Pokédex entry in Pokémon SoulSilver has a typo where the period at the end of the sentence is missing. This error does not occur in Pokémon HeartGold.
* Froslass and its evolutionary relatives are the only {{type|Ice}} Pokémon in the {{egg3|Fairy}}.
** Froslass is also the only {{type|Ghost}} Pokémon in the Fairy Egg Group.
* Froslass is the only Ice-type {{DL|List of Pokémon by shape|Pokémon consisting of a head and arms}}.
* In [[Generation IX]], prior to the Version 2.0.1 update of {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}, Froslass was unable to learn {{m|Trailblaze}} via [[TM]], while its pre-Evolution could.
* Froslass is the only Pokémon within its evolutionary line that does not possess three {{Abilities}}.

===Origin===
Froslass is most likely based on {{wp|Yuki-onna}}, a female ice-spirit of Japanese folklore. Its body shape also resembles a {{wp|kokeshi}} doll. Due to its red sash, it appears to be wearing a {{wp|kimono}}.

Mega Froslass's taller, more regal design may be influenced from the Western fairy-tale {{wp|The Snow Queen}}. It might be also based on {{wp|Takaonna}}, a female tall-spirit of Japanese folklore. Its elongated horns resemble those of an {{wp|oni}}.

====Name origin====
Froslass may be a combination of ''frost'' and ''lass''.

Yukimenoko may be a combination of 雪 ''yuki'' (snow), 雪女 ''yuki-onna'' (snow woman), and 女の子 ''menoko'' (archaic word for girl).

'''Lysandre''' (Japanese: '''フラダリ''' ''Fuladari'') is the boss of [[Team Flare]] and the main antagonist of [[Pokémon X and Y]]. He is also a philanthropist and owner of [[Lysandre Labs]], the company that created the [[Holo Caster]]. He is the only character in the games to have the {{DL|Pokémon Trainer|Trainer class}} '''Team Flare Boss''' (Japanese: '''フレアだんボス''' ''Team Flare Boss'').

He seeks to wipe out most of the world population in order to return the {{pkmn|world|planet}} to a "beautiful", unspoiled state; what he implies is a world without 'negative' or 'ugly' concepts, such as strife, struggle, war, or despair.<ref name="Pokémon.com 2017-11-02">Lysandre is the boss of Team Flare, the villainous organization that appeared in ''Pokémon X'' and ''Pokémon Y''. He is, by nature, a man of deep sympathies—but has been driven to despair by watching humans fighting and struggling against one another, and he comes to believe that the only way for people to live in beauty, without strife or struggle, is by reducing the number of people living in the world. He restored the ultimate weapon, which had been sealed away 3000 years earlier, and then, using the power of the Legendary Pokémon Xerneas or Yveltal, he attempted to eradicate life.</ref>

==In the core series games==
===History===
[[File:Lysandre meeting Player XY.png|thumb|250px|left|Lysandre meeting the player at Sycamore's lab]]
===={{g|X and Y}}====
The player first meets Lysandre in [[Professor Sycamore]]'s lab in [[Lumiose City]] seeing potential in them, and then later in Café Soleil where he is seen talking to [[Diantha]] about her acting career. He discusses with her about the idea of eternal beauty, but she quickly dismisses the idea, claiming that she does not look for such a thing, much to Lysandre's annoyance. After this, he spots the player, where he speaks about his dream of a beautiful world.

Following this, Lysandre doesn't reappear until much later, after the player has defeated [[Clemont]] for their fifth Badge. This time, he speaks about the [[AZ|king of Kalos]] who nearly vaporized all life in the region 3,000 years ago by usage of a weapon. He also speaks about Xerneas's{{sup/6|X}}/Yveltal's{{sup/6|Y}} role in the creation of the [[ultimate weapon]], as well as their role in the creation of life and destruction as a whole. After this, Lysandre will regularly communicate with the player through the [[Holo Caster]], monitoring their progress, and constantly showing his vision for a beautiful world as well as asking them to reconsider his proposal and join him on his cause.

Lysandre then appears after the player has received their seventh Badge. At this point, it is revealed through his Holo Caster message that he is the leader of [[Team Flare]], and that he plans to use the weapon which he spoke about earlier in order to eliminate anyone not part of Team Flare, surprising both the player and their neighbor. The player later confronts Lysandre in person at the lab beneath his café as he wishes to test the player's resolve, and is then battled and defeated. Lysandre admires the player's resolve and strength and instructs them that if they wish to stop him, he must get the elevator key from one of four Team Flare's scientists the player already met, while he retreats underground.

After the player obtains the Key and descends further into the lab, they meet with Lysandre who is speaking with a tall man behind bars known as AZ. Lysandre introduces AZ as someone who "shares the name of the previous King of Kalos" as well as possessing the key of the ultimate weapon. After AZ tells the player the tragedy left by the ultimate weapon and asks them to stop the device from being used, Lysandre invites the player deeper underground if they wish to stop him. The player descends and meets Lysandre talking with [[Xerosic]]. Lysandre then tells the player to battle Xerosic, and if they are successful against the scientist, then they will stop their scheme. After the player defeats Xerosic, he has them push one of two buttons, one of which activates the weapon. However, pushing the correct one unfortunately does not stop Xerosic from unleashing the weapon on Kalos. (If the player chooses the blue button he will activate the weapon by remote control, otherwise the player activates the weapon.)

Lysandre is later found again at the site of the ultimate weapon in [[Geosenge Town]] where the player's rival questions him about his extreme measures to fix the world, which he replies that they are the only possible solution for he thinks humans are inherently evil and greedy. He uses the analogy of them competing over their [[Mega Ring]] as an example that when something cannot be shared, people will fight for it, for someone must live with it and some without and as such, more tragedies are likely to happen and therefore, the only solution is to reduce the human population. When further questioned about Pokémon, he tearfully claims that Pokémon, while magnificent beings, are condemned to be used by humans and, for the greater good, are best annihilated.

He is then battled again as he simply seeks to stall for time against the player. The player defeats Lysandre once again, and he shows further admiration for the player's strength. He then challenges the player to travel deeper into the [[Team Flare Secret HQ]] to stop the weapon despite his belief that it is already too late, but multiple members of Team Flare are waiting in ambush on the lower floors. After defeating them, the player reaches Xerneas or Yveltal. The legendary Pokémon is then battled and caught by the player, seemingly disabling the weapon. Lysandre returns wearing a cybernetic suit, called the '''Lysandre Machine''', that is intended to drain Xerneas's{{sup/6|X}}/Yveltal's{{sup/6|Y}} energy back into the Ultimate Weapon, and he declares that he will take the legendary Pokémon back and complete his plan. Now wielding a Mega Ring of his own, he engages the player in a final battle.
[[File:Lysandre Loses XY.png|frame|Lysandre losing to the player]]
After being defeated for the third and final time, Lysandre expresses his disgust towards the fact that his beautiful world will never be a reality. The player and their friends attempt to reason with him, saying that if people cooperate together, a better world is possible, and they use the Mega Evolution achieved by him as proof of the bond he has with his Pokémon. He, however, rejects the idea as mere naivety and then attempts to 'force immortality on the player, their friends, and himself'{{sup/6|X}}/'kill everyone in the building'{{sup/6|Y}} and fires the ultimate weapon using what little power still remains. Hearing this, the player and their friends quickly leave, after which the blast from the weapon destroys the building and seemingly buries Lysandre and the HQ under rubble, putting an end to Team Flare's threat.

Later on in the game, an NPC in [[Snowbelle City]] who is an old friend of Lysandre mentions that Lysandre had noble intentions and did his best to help people in need, but was eventually convinced of humanity's stupidity, along with his own limitations which resulted in him becoming a misanthrope.

===={{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}}====
=====[[Episode RR]]=====
An [[Pokémon multiverse|alternate universe]] version of Lysandre appears as a member of [[Team Rainbow Rocket]] is one of the second pair of bosses the player must face, along with [[Cyrus]]. Like the other {{cat|villainous team leaders}} in Team Rainbow Rocket, this Lysandre was summoned from a world where his plans succeeded. However, as he explains to the player, a bright light consumed him when he fired the [[ultimate weapon]] and was transported to the game's world. He has his {{tc|Team Rainbow Rocket Grunt}}s set up devices with red and blue buttons in his office within [[Team Rocket's Castle]]. Then, he subjects the player to the same choice the player in Kalos was subjected to, claiming that one button will activate the ultimate weapon and the other will open the path to [[Giovanni]]. However, no matter which button the player chooses, it will be the one that activates the weapon. Lysandre then tells the player that pushing the opposite button will prevent it from firing. However, in order to buy time for the weapon to fire, Lysandre battles the player, using Xerneas{{sup/7|US}}/Yveltal{{sup/7|UM}} as part of his team. When he is defeated, he allows the player to press the other button, ostensibly shutting down the ultimate weapon, as well as unlocking one of the two seals needed to reach Giovanni. Lysandre then wonders if things would have been different in his world if he had met a Trainer like the player. He then rejects that line of thought, resolving that he must bring about his beautiful world. He is later sent back to his own world by [[Colress]] off-screen.

===={{g|Legends: Z-A}}====
It is revealed that Lysandre survived his supposed demise in [[Pokémon X and Y]] thanks to Zygarde, but has become slightly amnesiac. Due to the ultimate weapon, he has taken on a similar affliction to AZ and become cursed with the longevity of three thousand years. His hair has become shorter and paler, and his left eye appears to have blinded.

Lysandre first meets the player under the pseudonym of "'''L'''". He warns the player about the coming crisis in Lumiose City and tells them that they must become a Trainer worthy of Zygarde's trust in order to stop it. Later on, he helps by gathering all of Zygarde's Cells in order for it to assume its Complete Forme and defeat the rogue machine, [[Ange]].

====History====
[[File:Lysandre anime.png|thumb|250px|Lysandre in ''[[XYS02|Mega Evolution Special II]]'']]
Lysandre debuted in ''[[XYS01|Mega Evolution Special I]]''. Though he was not identified as the caller at the time, he contacted [[Alain]] via the [[Holo Caster]], directing him to where a new Mega Stone could be found. He also was seen observing the power of Alain's Mega {{TP|Alain|Charizard}} X during its battle with [[Siebold]]'s Mega {{p|Blastoise}}.

In ''[[XYS02|Mega Evolution Special II]]'', Lysandre traveled to [[Hoenn]], intervened in Alain's battle with {{Steven}}, and introduced Alain and Steven properly to each other. It was revealed that in the past, he defeated Alain in a battle over an [[Ampharosite]], then took Alain to [[Lysandre Labs]] and recruited him to work in a project to harness the energy of Mega Evolution for peaceful purposes. Lysandre was also the one who awarded Alain his Mega Ring and Charizardite X, though he asked Alain to not tell Professor Sycamore of the research, fearing that people with bad intentions would bring harm to him in order to obtain it. Later, he traveled with Alain, [[Mairin]], and Steven to a ruin, where they uncovered an ancient [[Giant Rock]]. However, his research on the Giant Rock accidentally summoned {{DL|Super-ancient Pokémon (XY series)|Rayquaza}}, who destroyed the area. After the encounter with Rayquaza, Lysandre discovered a similar energy reading to the Giant Rock near [[Rustboro City]], and asked Alain to go there and investigate. He also covertly ordered Alain to keep a close eye on Steven, for the [[Hoenn League]] {{pkmn|Champion}} had precious information on Mega Evolution.
[[File:Team Flare Scientists Young.png|thumb|left|250px|A younger Lysandre]]
In ''[[XYS03|Mega Evolution Special III]]'', Lysandre gave instructions to Alain and Steven. After Mega Rayquaza defeated both [[Primal Reversion|Primal]] {{DL|Super-ancient Pokémon (XY series)|Groudon}} and Primal {{DL|Super-ancient Pokémon (XY series)|Kyogre}}, he had the Giant Rock, which had reappeared during the battle of the Legendary Pokémon, taken away with his submarine for further studies.

In ''[[XYS04|Mega Evolution Special IV]]'', Lysandre observed Alain's battles against ten Mega Evolution Trainers while his scientists researched the Giant Rock. After [[Chespie]], Mairin's {{p|Chespin}}, who had interfered with the experiments performed on a {{p|Zygarde}} Core, was hospitalized, Lysandre told the victorious Alain that he had to continue gather data on Mega Evolution if Chespie was to recover. He was also shown to be close to Malva, who served as Alain's final opponent.

Lysandre has a major antagonistic role in [[S19|Pokémon the Series: XYZ]], first making appearances in ''[[XY094|From A to Z!]]'' and ''[[XY102|Meeting at Terminus Cave!]]'', where he was studying [[Squishy]] alongside [[Xerosic]].

In ''[[XY106|A Meeting of Two Journeys!]]'', Lysandre was contacted by Alain via the Holo Caster, who wanted to know if Mairin's Chespie's condition had improved or not. Later, he reappeared in [[XY107|the next episode]], overseeing the operation to capture [[Z2]] alongside Xerosic. At the end of the episode, he received Z2.

Lysandre reappeared in ''[[XY118|Championing a Research Battle!]]'' and ''[[XY119|A Full-Strength Battle Surprise!]]'', where he received mission reports from Xerosic.

In ''[[XY129|Kalos League Passion with a Certain Flare!]]'', Lysandre was talking to a man inside a building at the [[Lumiose Conference]]. He soon got a call on a Holo Caster that an {{tc|Team Flare Admin|Admin}} was holding, from Xerosic, who was in the front seat of a truck that was just outside the [[Lumiose Gym]]. Later on at night, he met {{Ash}} for the first time and discussed the capability of [[Ash's Greninja]] to take on its different form in battle. After his conversation with him, he was shown with an annoyed expression, before turning towards the Lumiose Gym and smirked. Lysandre later talked to Mairin after she ran up to him and he put on a happy expression. The next day, Lysandre was seated in a private viewing box inside the Lumiose Conference's stadium with a glass window, along with Mairin and the same Admin, and they all watched as Ash and Alain each walked towards their respective sides of the battlefield in the Lumiose Conference's stadium, for the final round of the Conference.
[[File:Lysandre Machine anime.png|thumb|250px|Wearing the Lysandre Machine in Pokémon the Series: XYZ]]
In ''[[XY130|Finals Not for the Faint-Hearted!]]'' and ''[[XY131|Down to the Fiery Finish!]]'', Lysandre watched Ash and Alain's battle in the finals of the Lumiose Conference. Towards the end of the latter episode, his true egotistical, narcissistic nature is revealed as he uses the power of Z2 to bring the whole of Kalos into his control, taking over Lumiose City and subsequently the Lumiose Conference, which had just been concluded.

In ''[[XY132|A Towering Takeover!]]'', Lysandre revealed himself as the leader of Team Flare to a captured Ash. He also televised a message to the citizens of Kalos about his plan for creating a new, beautiful world for Team Flare.

In ''[[XY133|Coming Apart at the Dreams!]]'', Lysandre explained his motivations. Much like in the games, he once had a generous nature and would help those in need. However, after those he supported grew accustomed to his aid and turned greedy, he became disillusioned with the human race. Because of this, he intended to "restart" the world, and he attempted to control Ash and Greninja the same way he did with Zygarde, so that Ash could become the guide of the new world. Ash, however, defied Lysandre and used the [[Bond Phenomenon]] to break free. Following this turn of events, Lysandre equipped his machine and started a fight with Ash and the defecting Alain using his Pyroar and his Shiny Mega Gyarados. Pyroar was defeated through a joint attack by {{AP|Noivern}}, {{AP|Hawlucha}}, and {{AP|Pikachu}}.

In ''[[XY134|The Right Hero for the Right Job!]]'', Lysandre defeated the majority of Ash's team. He was surprised when Malva appeared to help Alain and Ash, but nonetheless remained confident even after Clemont and Bonnie freed the two Zygarde under his control.

In ''[[XY135|Rocking Kalos Defenses!]]'', Lysandre was finally beaten by Ash and Alain. Refusing to surrender, Lysandre seemingly killed himself by jumping off the tower. It was afterwards revealed that Lysandre had planned for the Giant Rock to transform into a copy of Zygarde, which would engulf the [[Anistar City]] Sundial and release enough energy to wipe out all life on the planet.

He made one final appearance in ''[[XY136|Forming a More Perfect Union!]]''. After the Giant Rock was temporarily stopped by Ash, Alain, Steven, Malva, [[Diantha]], and all of the Kalos [[Gym Leader]]s and [[Chespie]] was freed from it's control, Lysandre appears and revives the Rock himself using a control device announcing he still intends to destroy the world even if it means he has to die too. He lost control of the Rock after the device was destroyed by Ash and Alain, and was defeated entirely by Squishy and Z2 after they transformed into Zygarde Complete Forme and destroyed the Giant Rock. The explosion from Zygarde's {{m|Core Enforcer}} engulfs Lysandre, leaving his final fate unclear.

Lysandre appeared in ''[[PE03|The Visionary]]'', where he was shown battling {{ga|Calem}} and his {{p|Xerneas}} inside the [[Team Flare Secret HQ]]. After being easily defeated, he briefly recalled his conversations with [[Professor Sycamore]] and [[Diantha]] about mortality and beauty.

====={{MangaArc|X & Y}}=====
Lysandre debuted in ''[[PS552|They Have a Flare for a Li'l Kanga-Napping]]''. He was first seen in [[Professor Sycamore]]'s lab, watching a video of the battle between [[Xerxer|Xerneas]] and {{p|Yveltal}} in [[Vaniville Town]]. He then asked for a copy of the footage for further study.

In ''[[PS558|What Does Charmander Do When It Dozes]]'', Professor Sycamore sent {{adv|Trevor}} and his friends to [[Lysandre Labs|Lysandre Café]] to get repairs for Trevor's [[Holo Caster]]. The group was introduced to Lysandre, but Trevor became suspicious of the man after seeing his silhouette in a photo taken during the Vaniville incident. Noting Trevor's strange behavior, Lysandre asked to see the photo, even using his Pokémon to surround the group when Trevor refused. [[Diantha]] arrived and used her [[Mega Evolution|Mega]] {{TP|Diantha|Gardevoir}} to defend Trevor's group. Lysandre backed off and left to answer a call from [[Xerosic]], who had discovered the location of Xerneas's tree form.

In ''[[PS577|Quilladin Stands]]'', Lysandre returned to the [[Team Flare Secret HQ]] after Xerneas's tree form had been successfully transported. He received the Lysandre Machine, which [[Clemont]] was forced to build, and a Mega Ring, which had its [[Key Stone]] stolen from [[Korrina]]. Lysandre and Xerosic began draining Xerneas of its life energy to fuel the [[ultimate weapon]]. {{adv|X}} later broke into the building to put an end to [[Team Flare]]'s ambitions. He found the ultimate weapon's control room and confronted Lysandre, who used his Mega Ring to Mega Evolve his {{p|Gyarados}}. During their battle, X had his [[Élec]] use its {{a|Lightning Rod}} to pull electricity from the ultimate weapon's absorber into its tail, draining the machine of its power. This allowed Xerneas to awaken from its slumber and revert back to normal.

In ''[[PS580|Flabébé Blooms]]'', Trevor, {{adv|Tierno}}, {{adv|Shauna}}, [[Clemont]], [[Emma]], and [[AZ]] arrived at the control room, where they found X had already been defeated. Trevor, Tierno, and Shauna tried removing the ultimate weapon's key but were unable to pull it out in time before it fired. To Lysandre's frustration, the combined efforts of X and his friends successfully weakened the ultimate weapon, preventing it from taking any innocent lives. AZ stayed behind to allow Xerneas to escape back to the surface with X and the others. When Malva attempted to confront X's group with Yveltal, Lysandre ordered a ceasefire due to it and Xerneas being evenly matched. Xerneas confirmed this and retreated, taking X and the others with it.

In ''[[PS582|Pinsir Glares]]'', Team Flare was revealed to have blamed the destruction caused by the ultimate weapon on X's friends and the Gym Leaders. They moved operations to the [[Pokémon Village]] to keep a low profile. When Xerosic later discovered the stones lining {{rt|10|Kalos}} are an older form of the absorber, Team Flare began using them to drain the life energy of the Pokémon living at the village. These actions earned Team Flare the anger of {{adv|Mewtwo}}, who protected the Pokémon Village. In ''[[PS590|Yveltal Steals]]'', X and {{adv|Blue}} found Lysandre in battle with Mewtwo at the village. Hoping to have Mewtwo weakened enough for capture, Lysandre tried to trick it into attacking X and Blue, only for {{adv|Blaine}} to arrive and Mega Evolve Mewtwo into its Y form.

In ''[[PS591|Mewtwo Angered]]'', Lysandre summoned [[Emma|Essentia]] and used a device to control her like a puppet. By talking into the device, Essentia would repeat Lysandre's words, allowing him to command the {{adv|Zygarde}} she had caught earlier. While Blaine and Mewtwo kept Zygarde still, X defeated Essentia, uncovering her true identity as his friend Emma. With some words of encouragement from X and [[Cassius]], Emma betrayed Lysandre, but was attacked by his Gyarados before she could command Zygarde. Lysandre took Zygarde's [[Poké Ball]], only for {{adv|Y}} to arrive and take his Mega Ring. Although he was angered by this, Lysandre made an announcement to the entire Kalos region, informing the public of Team Flare's plan to destroy everything with the ultimate weapon. By borrowing Key Stones from his allies, X was able to activate Mega Evolution for his entire team at once.

In ''[[PS593|Xerneas Gives]]'', Lysandre used Zygarde to battle X's Mega-Evolved team. As the battle went on, X's friends noticed Zygarde's body was breaking apart due to Xerneas and Yveltal reverting to their tree and cocoon forms. Once they fully reverted, X had his team launch one final attack, fully separating Zygarde. Malva attempted to save Lysandre from falling, only for both to land onto the rubble below. Heavily injured, Lysandre weakly asked Malva why the ultimate weapon had not yet been fired. Afterward, Blaine revealed Lysandre was alive, but had sustained severe injuries to his spinal cord.

====={{MangaArc|Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon}}=====
Lysandre reappeared in a flashback as a silhouette when Sina and Dexio were explaining Zygarde's presence in Alola.

At the Pokémon Village, Lysandre controlled Essentia so that he may use Zygarde to battle against X, {{adv|Blue}}, and Blaine. After Emma was freed from Lysandre's control, Lysandre had Gyarados attack Emma so that he may take Zygarde's Poké Ball, giving him full control over it. Once [[Xerxer]] and {{p|Yveltal}} reverted to their dormant forms, Zygarde had no reason to stay, so its body began breaking apart. X's Mega-Evolved team used a combined attack to fully break apart Zygarde, leading to Lysandre's defeat.}}

==Trivia==
* Lysandre shares three Pokémon with [[Cyrus]], another leader of a [[Team Galactic|villainous team]]: {{p|Murkrow}}, {{p|Honchkrow}}, and {{p|Gyarados}}. Their goals are also similar; both involve trying to wipe out everyone for some purpose and using [[Legendary Pokémon]] to achieve it.
** [[Xerosic]] and [[Mable]], two of his top scientists, possess a {{p|Crobat}} and a {{p|Houndoom}} and {{p|Weavile}}, respectively; all Pokémon that Cyrus had.
* In {{aniseries|PTS}}, the Lysandre Machine's functions are different: the "bugs" attached to the backpack piece are able to shoot beams of Mega Evolution energy, while the gauntlet is used to control the [[Giant Rock]]. Additionally, the pieces of the suit are capable of flight and can carry Lysandre into the air while he is wearing them.
* Lysandre's Gyarados knows {{m|Iron Head}} and {{m|Outrage}}, which it cannot learn in {{g|X and Y}}. The only way for Gyarados to know these moves in Pokémon X and Y is through [[Move Tutor]]s in {{v2|Platinum}}, {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}} and {{2v2|Black|White|2}} before being transferred through [[Pokémon Bank]], or through a Move Tutor in {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, the latter of which wasn't available at the time of X and Y's release.
* The background story of Lysandre told by an NPC in Snowbelle City is similar to the manga ''{{wp|Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind}}'', where a king, who wants to save humanity and wanting peace for his peasants, eventually realizes their stupidity and grows to hate them, eventually becoming a tyrant.
* Lysandre's hairstyle was stylized to somewhat resemble a [[List of Pokémon with gender differences#Pyroar|male]] {{p|Pyroar}}'s mane, one of his Pokémon.
* Lysandre is the first villainous team leader to debut in a special episode of the {{pkmn|animated series}}, and also the first to have a [[Shiny Pokémon]].
** In ''Pokémon the Series'', Lysandre is not Professor Sycamore's former pupil. Instead, the two only meet for the first time during the events of the {{aniseries|XY|''XY'' series}} special, ''[[XYS04|Mega Evolution Special IV]]''.
* When Lysandre is defeated for the last time in X and Y, the {{player}} performs a unique victory pose.
* Lysandre's visor can be seen on his desk in [[Team Rocket's Castle]], though he does not wear it at any point as a member of [[Team Rainbow Rocket]].
* Lysandre is the first villainous team leader in the [[core series]] who never wears his team's insignia on his clothing.
* Lysandre is the first villainous team leader in ''Pokémon the Series'' whom {{Ash}} defeated in a battle.
** He was also the first villainous team leader in the animated series since {{an|Giovanni}} to be shown to use Pokémon of his own, instead of just controlling one or more Legendary Pokémon.
