==Ability==
Meguroko's ability is actually called Earthquake Spiral. Every time Meguroko defeats a foe it gets more and more powerful. {{unsigned|gendrgar000}}
:I think Overconfident is just a different translation or Earthquake Spiral. If you get more confident, don't you feel like you could do better? Also, please remember to sign your comments with <nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>.

earthquake spiral doesn't even make any sense.... ([[User:Ataro|Ataro]] 15:30, 27 June 2010 (UTC))
yeah "Earthquake Spiral' sounds like an attack. how can people actually say that it's not overconfidence?[[User:Vkickass|Vkickass]] 00:01, 22 July 2010 (UTC)

==Physiology for the admins to implement==
Meguroko is a primarily tan-colored, quadruped crocodilian Pokémon, having a long snout as typical of crocodilians, and a thick black stripe on the bridge. Meguroko’s eyes are round and sepia-colored, with a circular pattern of black around them stretching between each eye, giving the impression of an archetypical robber’s mask or a pair of glasses, with the ridges surrounding the eyes being large and protruding. Two thick black stripes are present down Meguroko’s back, stretching to its pink-colored underside and encompassing its tan-colored limbs, which sport three claws each that are also black; additionally, its tapered tail is tipped with the color. [[User:Steph|Steph]] 15:45, 29 June 2010 (UTC)

== Origin ==

I'd like to point out {{wp|Spectacled Caiman|this species}} as a partial design influence, particularly the "eyeglasses". Also, the word for spectacles (''megane'') is a more likely name origin than "eye".--[[User:Kaoz|Kaoz]] 01:27, 17 July 2010 (UTC)

Taking into account the glasses design and the word "megane" the name is most likely a pun off of "meganekko" or glasses girls. 目黒子 (''meguroko'': Black-eyed child) with 目 (''me'') meaning eyes, 黒 (''kuro'') meaning black, and 子 (''ko'') meaning child.--[[User:Psychogurl|Psychogurl]] 00:12, 29 August 2010 (UTC)

It's appearance is most likely based on a cartoonish crocodile.[[User:Bennell|Bennell]] 13:50, 26 March 2012 (UTC)

When it comes to crocodilian species, Sandile could be likely a {{wp|Nile Crocodile}} because of it's stripes and it use to be found in the {{wp|Nile River}} in {{wp|Egypt}}.[[User:Bennell|Bennell]] 13:58, 26 March 2012 (UTC)

== Unique typing? ==

Maybe it'd be relevant in the trivia to mention that as of now (barring any evolution with a similar typing, of course), Meguroko would be the only dark/ground poke'mon?--[[User:The Great Ratsby|The Great Ratsby]] 02:42, 20 July 2010 (UTC)

The only known Dark/Ground Pokémon. But keep in mind that Black and White might introduce other Dark/Ground Pokémon. I think we should probably leave it out since if it turns out there are more we'd have wasted time. [[User:Absolution|Absolution]] 09:27, 21 July 2010 (UTC)

I'd like to note that Meguroko was the first Pokémon with a unique typing revealed in G5. If it is unique, that is. --[[User:Element03|Element03]] 00:55, 7 August 2010 (UTC)
:That's incorrect, though. {{p|Reshiram}} and {{p|Zekrom}} have unique type combinations too, and I believe they were revealed earlier. --[[User:Zesty Cactus|'''Zesty''']][[User talk:Zesty Cactus|'''Cactus''']] 01:24, 7 August 2010 (UTC)
::Oh right, I forgot about them. My mistake. --[[User:Element03|Element03]] 05:58, 7 August 2010 (UTC)
:::Well, Reshiram and Zekrom themselves were revealed earlier, but their typing was not, so Meguroko was the first Gen V Pokémon known to have a unique typing (assuming that all these guys have unique typings that it). [[User:Jas61292|Jas61292]] 03:56, 9 September 2010 (UTC)
::::I think "first revealed Generation V Pokémon with a unique typing" is a bit too specific. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 08:57, 9 September 2010 (UTC)

== Sprite ==

Can we have it's sprite added to the page? --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 03:42, 11 September 2010 (UTC)

== Evolution ==

Evolves to Warubiru, a humanoid crocodile.

It also further evolves to Warubiaru, appareance unknown as of yet, though.[[User:Gochiruzeru|Gochiruzeru]] 19:05, 16 September 2010 (UTC)
: yes, we know it will be added when it's added..[[User:Ataro|Ataro]] 19:13, 16 September 2010 (UTC)

== Anime. ==

The article says that Meguroko is "set to appear" but it appears already and the episode already aired. BW003. "[[Arceus (Pokémon)|☆]][[User:AngelGuardian|Angel]][[User talk:AngelGuardian|Guardian]][[Arceus: To A Conquering Space-Time|☆]]" 07:17, 2 October 2010 (UTC)
:BTW, Shouldn't all the rest gen V Pokés be unprotected now? Seriously, June 2011 is somewhat an exaggerated date...--[[User:Dennou Zenshi|でんのう]] ☢ [[User talk:Dennou Zenshi|'''Z'''えんし]] 07:23, 2 October 2010 (UTC)

Yeah.. i can't wait to edit a lot of those articles.. "[[Arceus (Pokémon)|☆]][[User:AngelGuardian|Angel]][[User talk:AngelGuardian|Guardian]][[Arceus: To A Conquering Space-Time|☆]]" 09:52, 7 October 2010 (UTC)
:Make a list of them on the forums and they will be unprotected. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 11:38, 7 October 2010 (UTC)

::yeah that was posted on it's own talk page...[[User:Ataro|Ataro]] 00:26, 3 October 2010 (UTC)
:::Weird, same minute it was posted. Oh, and thanks for telling me. It's [[User:Turtwig A|Turtwig A]]! [[User talk:Turtwig A|My talk]] or [[Special:Contributions/Turtwig A|wiki edits]] 00:28, 3 October 2010 (UTC)
:so..anyone going to do this? [[User:Ataro|Ataro]] 23:56, 5 October 2010 (UTC)

== Trivia ==

So, I've been thinking about this for a while and considering whether or not it was actual trivia, so I figure that I should just ask. The moves naturally learned match the striping on Sandile. Trivia? Yes I know it's not consistent and it's not really that important. [[User:Rucario64|Rucario]][[User Talk:Rucario64|64]] 20:50, 13 February 2011 (UTC)
:They moves just alternate between Ground and Dark for a short while. If it did so for its entire learnset, it would be notable, but really the only reason you see this is because of the way Bulbapedia sets out its templates. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 09:10, 17 March 2011 (UTC)

Not sure if this is particularly notable, but Sandile and Krokorok have the same weight as Bellsprout and Weepinbell. [[User:Sphericalice|Sphericalice]] ([[User talk:Sphericalice|talk]]) 18:40, 2 September 2012 (UTC)

== Why are there crocodiles in Unova? ==

Have you ever wondered why the Sandile line originated in Unova? Crocodiles are not native to New York in real life.

However, a popular urban legend claims that alligators live in New York's sewers. Could this be an inspiration for Sandile? [[User:DrBrainIsAwesome|DrBrainIsAwesome]] ([[User talk:DrBrainIsAwesome|talk]]) 15:22, 21 March 2026 (UTC)

The '''Nintendo DS''' (Japanese: '''ニンテンドーＤＳ''' ''Nintendo DS'') is [[Nintendo]]'s fifth series, {{wp|history of video game consoles (seventh generation)|seventh generation}} handheld game console. It was released on November 21, 2004 in North America, on December 2 in Japan, and on March 11, 2005 in Europe. The Nintendo DS represented an experimental new era for Nintendo's game consoles.

==History==
Unlike previous consoles, the Nintendo DS was not given the "Game Boy" moniker, likely because Nintendo did not want to tarnish the brand name in case of bad sales, as had happened with the earlier {{wp|Virtual Boy}}. Marketed as a "third pillar" to Nintendo's console lineup, the DS was initially said by Nintendo not to be a replacement for the [[Game Boy Advance]], but a partner to it.

Despite this initial strategy, however, and perhaps because of the inclusion of the secondary Game Boy Advance slot on the console itself, the DS did in fact serve as the replacement of the Game Boy Advance, and the end of the Game Boy line. Developers and gamers alike flocked to the console, which featured a significant difference from any previous gaming console: a second screen. This second screen, which doubled the real estate that developers had to work with for displaying menus and gameplay, was also touch-sensitive, and could be used to select items without pressing buttons. In addition to this, the more "standard" upgrades, such as the addition of a second speaker for true stereo sound and a microphone, were included with the console.
[[File:GBA and DS.png|left|thumb|A DS card of {{game3|Diamond and Pearl|Pokémon Diamond|s}} (right) compared to a GBA cartridge of {{game3|Ruby and Sapphire|Pokémon Ruby|s}} (left)]]
Most enjoyed by gamers, however, are the DS's wireless DS-to-DS and Wi-Fi capabilities, which allow gamers in close proximity to play with each other without the need for the [[Game Link Cable]] that the Game Boy line required, and for the first time, allow players to compete around the world with each other through the [[Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection]].

Game Boy Advance games can be played on the system, with players able to set in the DS's firmware menu whether the GBA game should be played on the top or bottom screen. The GBA game will be {{wp|windowbox (film)|windowboxed}} on the DS screen, as its resolution is slightly smaller than that of the DS. Multiplayer functions for GBA games are not supported, as the system's native wireless is different from the technology included in the [[Game Boy Advance Wireless Adapter|wireless adapter]] that came included with {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}. [[Game Boy]] and [[Game Boy Color]] games are unplayable on the system, as the processor that runs them is not included in the system, and the GBA cartridge slot will not accept them.

Like previous handhelds, the Nintendo DS later received a revised form in the smaller and sleeker [[Nintendo DS Lite]], which shares its overall design with the [[Wii]], and features a stronger backlight that can be set on varying brightnesses, rather than the simple on-off light the ordinary DS, called by fans the "DS Phat", has. In early 2007, the original DS was discontinued, leaving the DS Lite as the only DS on the market, until late 2008, when a second revision, the [[Nintendo DSi]], was released. It featured a redesign of the system's menus, removed the GBA slot in favor of a smaller design, and added the ability to play music, take pictures, and more. The DSi's own revision, the [[Nintendo DSi XL]], returns the system to the size of the DS Phat, at the same time increasing its screen size to nearly double that of the DS and DS Lite.

As of September 2008, combined sales of Nintendo DS and Nintendo DS Lite have reached more than 84 million units worldwide.<ref name="earnings release Q3 2008">"[http://www.nintendo.co.jp/ir/pdf/2008/081030e.pdf#page=11 Consolidated Financial Highlights]" 11. [[Nintendo]] (2008-10-30). Retrieved on 2009-01-07.</ref> By the end of January 2010, that number increased to over 125 million units sold worldwide, making it Nintendo's best selling console of all time.<ref name="Worldwide DS Sales top 125 Million">"[http://ds.ign.com/articles/106/1064657p1.html IGN.com]" (2010-01-28). retrieved on 2010-05-12.</ref>

===Backwards compatibility with Game Boy Advance===
Due to the second slot, all [[Game Boy Advance]] games can be played on the Nintendo DS and Nintendo DS Lite; however, they are incompatible with [[Game Boy]] and [[Game Boy Color]] games. Game Boy Advance games cannot be played on the Nintendo DSi or later versions due to the lack of a second slot.

==Trivia==
[[File:Nintendo DS Adventures.png|thumb|250px|Nintendo DS in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
* The Nintendo DS, like its predecessors (the [[Game Boy]], [[Game Boy Color]], and [[Game Boy Advance]]), is not region-locked. This means that a player could theoretically play a Nintendo DS game from any region on their own locally purchased console. However, games released in the {{pmin|mainland China|People's Republic of China}}, which contain {{wp|Chinese character}}s, will only run on DS systems with the {{wp|iQue}} brand, as other versions do not have the larger microchip that supports these characters.
* In the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga, [[Team Aqua]] used a Nintendo DS as a way for communication.
* In [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire]] an old dual screen game console "that seems different from [[Nintendo 3DS|the one you have]]" can be found at [[Sea Mauville]]. Considering its age, it could probably be a Nintendo DS.
* In the [[Phantom Thief Pokémon 7]] manga, [[Rocco]] whipped out a Nintendo DS and began to play it when he began to get bored during {{p|Drifblim}}'s ride.
* The Nintendo DS is the best selling handheld console of all time.
* The Nintendo DS is tied with the Nintendo 3DS and Nintendo Switch for having games from the most number of generations released for it, being three: the [[Generation IV]] and [[Generation V]] games, as well as four spin-off games from [[Generation III]].

'''Sea Mauville''' (Japanese: '''シーキンセツ''' ''Sea Kinsetsu'') is a decrepit research facility in the [[Hoenn]] [[region]], located to the north of {{rt|108|Hoenn}}. The second part of the structure can only be accessed by using {{m|Dive}} and contains the [[Scanner]].

Sea Mauville includes both the decrepit platform itself as well as the water area and sandbar outside of the facility; the northern exterior can only be accessed by travelling underwater inside the platform using {{m|Dive}}.

Sea Mauville takes the place of the [[Abandoned Ship]] from {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}.

==In the games==
===History===
Sea Mauville was a facility commissioned by [[Greater Mauville Holdings]] and led by [[Wattson]] to extract the natural resources of the ocean. Members of the staff included [[Captain Stern]], [[Dock]], [[Professor Cozmo]]'s father [[Raizoh Cozmo|Raizoh]], and Cap'n Salty. Due to several incidents, such as the closure of [[New Mauville]], the facility was closed. After its closure, an environmental survey discovered that the ruins had created a unique habitat for Pokémon and plants, such as {{wp|mangrove}}s, which only grow there and in [[Mossdeep City]]. Because of this, its demolition was canceled, and the ruin was revived as a natural preserve.

====Slogans====

:"''2. The bright light shines on Route 108. Intensely shiny, our fort. Swear your selfless devotion. Unionization is out of the question. Dig through, dig out great energy. Ah, Sea Mauville, Sea Mauville, Sea Mauville.''"
:"''3. Darkness descends on Route 108. Tonight again sleepless, our fort. Drive away our competitors. We won't take our overtime pay. Dig through, dig out great energy. Ah, Sea Mauville, Sea Mauville, Sea Mauville.''"

====Old note====
:"''There's an old note at the back of the cabinet with broken glass.''"
:"''Finally, the date of closing has been decided. I can't say thank you enough to Stern, who invited us to his shipyard when we would have been left adrift. Dock, who's done a dirty job, and I can both start with a clean slate. The only way we can repay him is to support his business with our skills.''"

====Confidential documents====
The document is found in a file cabinet in Room 2. The text of the document differs depending on whether Omega Ruby or Alpha Sapphire is being played.

:"''The damage caused by the cancellation of the New Mauville project has been catastrophic. As a member of the management, much of the blame and the debts will fall upon me. But that will be little consolation to the employees working under me who will lose their livelihoods. I couldn't do a thing for them... I'm a man with no power... Protecting nature and Pokémon and the environment... It's great as an idea. It's a fine ideal to aspire to. And Wattson is a great man for dreaming of it all. But cruel reality and the organization that I must try to preserve have dashed those dreams. I couldn't do a thing for him... I'm a man with no power..." This is the last page with writing on it. Other pages have been torn out.''"

====Letters====
Five letters, a photograph, and a drawing are found in the northeastern (lower-right) room in the northern (right-hand) dry corridor:

* First:
:"''Dear Daddy,''
:"''How are you? Are you working really hard? I'm doing well. I'm doing all my homework, and I'm helping at home, too. Mommy's working hard and makes us dinner every night. Do you have to work this weekend? Are you going to come home? If you come home, take me to see the star show, OK?''
:"''—[[Professor Cozmo|Takao Cozmo]]''
:"''P. S. I'm going to send you the picture I drew at the {{pkmn|Trainers' School}}.''"

* Second:
:''It looked like another letter, but it's a drawing. The drawing is of a boy's face, and written next to it are the words "I love you, Daddy."''

* Third:
:"''Dear Daddy,''
:"''How are you? Are you working really hard? I was sad that you didn't come last weekend. But Mommy didn't seem so sad. She went out with her friend. I finally got that telescope that I've been wanting. It was from you, wasn't it? Thanks, Daddy. I really, really wanted it. I like looking at the sky, Daddy. When I look at the stars, I wonder if you are looking at the same stars, too. Let's look at the stars together, next time you come home.''
:"''—Takao Cozmo''"

* Fourth:
:"''Dear Daddy,''
:"''How are you? You aren't working too hard, are you? You never come home anymore. I'm worried if you're OK. Mommy goes out with her friends a lot. It seems like fun, so I guess she's doing OK. The {{p|Shelgon}} that you gave me evolved the other day. But I liked it better when it was a Shelgon and it looked like a [[Meteorite]]. {{p|Salamence}} was kind of a letdown, so I asked a friend to trade it for his {{p|Solrock}}. I'm sorry, Daddy. I know it was a present, but I think Solrock is cooler. When it gets dark tonight, I'm going to look at the stars again. I'll think of you when I do.''
:"''—Takao Cozmo''"

* Fifth:
:"''Dear Daddy,''
:"''I was really, really happy to get to meet you the other day. It was so fun playing together again and going to see the star show, too, even if it was just the two of us. It was sad that Mommy couldn't go, and even more sad when you and Mommy fought that night. I'll study hard, just like you told me, and I'll be a good boy, so don't fight. But let me keep watching the stars, even if I have to do all my homework, too. When I grow up, I want to be a professor and study the stars.''
:"''—Takao Cozmo''"

* Sixth:
:"''Dear Daddy,''
:"''Thank you for writing to me. I'm doing really well here, so please don't worry about me. I hope I'll see you again someday. I dream about it all the time. I brought the telescope you bought me to our new house. Please don't work too hard, Daddy. I hope you are OK. I will always, always love the stars, and I will always, always love you.''
:"''—Takao Cozmo''
:"''P. S. I'll give you my Hi {{p|Skitty}} doll. Please take care of it for me.''"

* Seventh:
:''It looked like another letter, but it's a photo. There's a little boy holding a telescope, with a woman beside him, looking bored.''

===Items===
Due to the rotation of the camera upon stepping on the platform from the southern exterior, the player needs to press left on the D-pad or circle pad to move north, with all other cardinal directions rotated accordingly. While the camera is not oriented this way while the player is in the southern exterior, it is while in the northern exterior.

Sea Mauville cannot be accessed without {{m|Surf}}, so all items located here require Surf to obtain.

=== Generation VI ===
[[File:Lugia ORAS.png|thumb|200px|Lugia in Pokémon Alpha Sapphire]]
In Alpha Sapphire, at the control desk in the submerged control room, a portal appears if the player has the [[Tidal Bell]]. Interacting with this portal will initiate a battle with {{p|Lugia}}. In Omega Ruby, at the end of the beam that extends a significant distance west and upwards from the surface, a portal appears if the {{player}} has the [[Clear Bell]]. Interacting with this portal will initiate a battle with {{p|Ho-Oh}}. If defeated or run from, they respawn after entering the [[Hall of Fame]].

[[File:Spiritomb Encounter ORAS Animated.png|thumb|Encountering Spiritomb at Sea Mauville]]
After dealing with {{p|Groudon}}{{sup/6|OR}}/{{p|Kyogre}}{{sup/6|AS}}, in the southeasternmost room of the dry corridor, when the player enters the room, the message "It feels as though you're being watched" will be displayed. If the player then stands in the northwest corner of the room and opens a menu (such that they cannot see the overworld), they will see the [[Odd Keystone]] upon returning to the overworld, initiating a battle with {{p|Spiritomb}}. This will also occur if the player saves at the top-left position and reloads; in this case, the player cannot continue without battling Spiritomb. If defeated or run from, it respawns after entering the [[Hall of Fame]].

===''Pokémon the Series''===
===={{aniseries|JN}}====
Sea Mauville appeared in ''[[JN110|Narrowing the Chaser Chase!]]'', where it served as the site of a [[Project Mew]] [[Field Research|Trial Mission]], revealed to be a battle royale amongst multiple Project Mew challengers, including [[Goh]] and [[Horace]]. Besides the other {{pkmn|Trainer}}s, the challengers also had to survive hordes of Pokémon unleashed on them by [[Danika]]. Ultimately, Goh and Horace were left as the last Trainers standing, and although Horace tried to forfeit in Goh's favor, Goh encouraged him to actually battle him. The battle ended in Goh's loss, making Horace the winner of the mission, although Goh also received some tokens for finishing second.

==In the manga==
===Pokémon Adventures===
[[File:Sea Mauville Adventures.png|thumb|300px|Sea Mauville in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
===={{MangaArc|Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire}}====
The Sea Mauville debuted in ''[[PS601|Beedrill Prepares]]''. [[Mr. Stone]] had {{adv|Sapphire}} and {{adv|Emerald}} taken there as part of an operation to prevent a [[Grand Meteor Delta|meteoroid]] from crashing into the planet. Mr. Stone had [[Mr. Briney]] transport machines known as the [[ultimate weapon|Absorbers]] to the Sea Mauville, where they were placed inside of the facility.

After resting for the night, Mr. Stone and {{Steven}} began their operation. After putting [[Chic]] and {{TP|Emerald|Sceptile}} on the Absorbers, Sapphire and Emerald [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolved]] their Pokémon. Immediately afterward, Mr. Stone and Steven activated the Absorbers, which then began the process of draining the life force of Chic and Sceptile, much to their Trainers' horror. The life force was transferred into a machine known as the dimensional shifter, which was to be outfitted to a rocket that would be launched at the meteoroid in order to create a warp hole that would transport it to another location.

Shortly after the process was finished, the area was attacked by [[Zinnia]] and a group of {{tc|Team Magma Grunt|Team Magma}} and {{tc|Team Aqua Grunt}}s in order to stop the operation. The group fought Zinnia and her allies in order to protect the shifter from being destroyed, but it and Sapphire eventually fell into the hoop of a wild {{p|Hoopa}}, which sent them to [[Mossdeep Space Center|another location]]. With the shifter gone, Zinnia took her attention in stealing Steven's [[Key Stone]], but she was stopped by the arrival of {{adv|Ruby}}, who offered up his and Emerald's Key Stones instead. Zinnia accepted the offer and left with the Key Stones, but after her departure, Ruby revealed that he had secretly managed to snatch a special scroll from her. [[Ultima]] later revealed that the scroll contained the essence of a [[move]] called {{m|Dragon Ascent}}, acting as a sort of primitive [[TM]].

==Trivia==
* An old [[Magazines in the Pokémon world|magazine]] found at Sea Mauville features "''a young lady who looks like Lisia''" on its cover. It is possible that this person is [[Lisia]]'s mother, [[Wallace]]'s sister.
* An old dual screen game console "that seems different from [[Nintendo 3DS|the one you have]]" can also be found at Sea Mauville. Considering its age, it could be a [[Nintendo DS]] or a {{wp|Game & Watch}}.
* Both [[Pokémon Omega Ruby & Pokémon Alpha Sapphire: The Official Hoenn Region Strategy Guide|the Prima game guide]] and game data contain rematch data for Mysterious Sisters Scall & Ion that cannot be accessed in regular gameplay due to {{m|Dive}} (and thus the {{badge|Mind}}) being required to find their room key. The battle, which would have been available after the Feather Badge like another rematch here, would have featured a level 34 {{p|Chingling}} and a level 33 {{p|Gardevoir}}.
* The Hi {{p|Skitty}} doll found here is likely a reference to {{WP|Hello Kitty}}.

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

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

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

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

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

According to [[Pokémon Mansion journals|journals]] found in [[Kanto]]'s {{ka|Pokémon Mansion}}, after discovering the [[Mythical Pokémon]] {{p|Mew}} and gathering some of its DNA, [[Mr. Fuji]] used it in his mansion to create Mewtwo, a modified clone of Mew with the goal to making it the most powerful Pokémon in existence. It was held and studied in the mansion, where it acquired extreme power and a vicious disposition after enduring horrific gene-splicing experiments. It eventually broke free and fled the mansion, destroying it in the process. In the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga, {{adv|Mewtwo}}'s creation wasn't possible with the amount of {{adv|Mew}}'s cells gathered, so to complete it, [[human]] cells were used instead, specifically from the [[Team Rocket]] [[Team Rocket scientist|scientist]] [[Blaine]]. Due to Blaine possessing some of Mewtwo's cells as well, the two became linked, which granted Blaine to ability to track its whereabouts at the cost of slowly taking his life. Though its DNA is almost the same as Mew's, it is bigger and has a different disposition.

Mewtwo is said to have the most savage heart among all Pokémon, lacking compassion and striking fear into its enemy with cold, glowing eyes. Mewtwo conserves energy by remaining motionless in order to unleash its full power in battle. Because it was engineered to be the ultimate opponent in battle, it can only think of defeating its foes. Though rarely seen in the wild, it is said to be resting in [[Cerulean Cave|dark]] {{kal|Unknown Dungeon|caves}} somewhere. In ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'', {{OBP|Mewtwo|M01}} was shown to be capable of levitation, mind control, memory erasure, [[Talking Pokémon|telepathy]], {{m|Teleport|teleporting}} others to another location, and the creation of powerful, world-destroying storms. However, it was [[Mewtwo Returns|later shown]] to be caring, protective, and even altruistic. As seen in ''[[M16|Genesect and the Legend Awakened]]'', {{OBP|Mewtwo|M16}} can survive in outer space. In [[POKÉMON Detective Pikachu]], Mewtwo can transfer a human's soul into a Pokémon provided that said Pokémon is in a crazed state, causing the transferred person to gain control of its body and abilities.

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

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

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

====Mega Mewtwo X====
[[File:Mega Mewtwo X arm.png|thumb|left|250px|Mega Mewtwo X stretching its arm.]]
[[Mega Evolution|Mega]] Mewtwo X is larger and bulkier than its normal state. The horns on its head are longer and extend from brow-like ridges on its forehead. Additionally, the horns are now pointed and curve upward. It now has two tubes behind its neck, its eyes are light blue, and it has large, purple ridges over its shoulders fusing behind its back as a single, hump-like growth. Its forearms and legs grow much bulkier and gain two protruding ridges resembling veins. Its hands and feet grow bigger, with longer, more prehensile digits. Its tail is slightly shorter and stiffer than before and has a curled tip.

Due to the Mega Evolution, Mega Mewtwo X's physical power received a formidable boost. Its muscles are augmented with psychic power, giving it a grip strength of one ton and the ability to sprint 100 meters in two seconds. As revealed in [[Pokkén Tournament]], it can stretch its arms and legs in {{pkmn|battle}}.

=====Mega Shadow Mewtwo X=====
Mega Shadow Mewtwo X greatly resembles its normal counterpart, though it maintains its dark gray coloring due to the influence of the Shadow Synergy Stone. The glowing yellow-orange of the stone's infection is no longer confined to its tail, spreading to both of its shoulder growths, its arm ridges, and the tips of its ears. Additionally, the Y-shaped line running across its body (now including its legs) glows the same yellowish-orange color.

Like its counterpart, Mega Shadow Mewtwo X can stretch its arms and legs. This unique form is achieved when Shadow Mewtwo uses both [[Ferrum#Synergy Burst|Shadow Synergy Burst]] and collected Gaia Power build up. The transformation can be undone if Shadow Synergy Stone is separated from Mewtwo.

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

Despite its decreased size, it has phenomenal mental power and is capable of smashing buildings with a mere thought. Mega Mewtwo Y stays constantly in the air due to its smaller size and increased power.<ref>[http://www.pokemonxy.com/en-us/pokemon/mega_pokemon/#Mega%20Mewtwo%20X Mega Mewtwo Y | Pokémon X and Pokémon Y] ([https://web.archive.org/web/20160406143554/http://www.pokemonxy.com/en-us/pokemon/mega_pokemon/#Mega%20Mewtwo%20X archived])</ref>

==Game data==
===NPC appearances===
{{spoilers}}
====In the core series games====
* These notable Trainers all use Mewtwo:
** In {{G|Black 2 and White 2}}, in the [[Pokémon World Tournament]], during the downloadable tournament [[The Battle Between Legendary Pokémon]], [[Sabrina]] will use a Mewtwo as part of her team.
** [[Giovanni]] uses a Mewtwo in {{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}}'s [[Episode RR]]. It will [[Mega Evolve]] into either Mega Mewtwo X in Ultra Sun, or Mega Mewtwo Y in Ultra Moon.

====In the spin-off games====
* [[Pokémon Stadium]]: [[Pokémon Stadium#Vs. Mewtwo|Mewtwo]] is the player's final opponent.
* {{g|Pinball}}: Mewtwo appears in its own bonus stage, where the player must attempt to hit it 25 times within the two-minute time limit to win. Playing this stage repeatedly is the fastest way to build a high score, due to the extremely high point output of 50,000,000 points per hit earned by hitting Mewtwo.
* [[Pokémon Ranger: Guardian Signs]]: Mewtwo is the final boss of the game, battled once under the control of the evil [[Edward]] "The Thinker", and again under [[Purple Eyes]]. Before this, it is seen charging up in [[Kasa]]'s laboratory in the [[Sky Fortress]].
* {{g|Puzzle League}}: {{OBP|Mewtwo|M01}} reveals that it organized the Puzzle League to find a worthy foe and clones [[Ash Ketchum]]'s {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. In the Very Hard and Super Hard modes, Mewtwo is the final opponent.
* [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team]]: Mewtwo sleeps in the depths of the [[Western Cave]]. His slumber is interrupted by the arrival of Blastoise and [[Team A.C.T.|Charizard]], whom he defeats without an issue. Once the player confronts him at the deepest parts of the cave, it is possible to recruit Mewtwo.
* {{g|Super Mystery Dungeon}}: Mewtwo appears, having [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolved]] into Mega Mewtwo Y in order to telepathically link up the Pokémon of the world together to try and stop the [[Tree of Life]]'s ascent into space. Like all the other [[Legendary Pokémon]] gathered for this effort, Mewtwo is turned into stone when [[Dark Matter]] is able to regenerate itself. After Dark Matter's defeat, Mewtwo stays at the [[Island of Isolation]] as its lone inhabitant, and can be recruited if it is defeated.
* {{g|Quest}}: A telepathic Mewtwo appears as the final boss of Pokémon Quest. It is trapped (in a vague, undefined manner) in the [[Chamber of Legends]]. It discretely takes control of [[MoBee]] to talk to the [[player (Quest)|player]], in order to lure the player across [[Tumblecube Island]] and collect the {{OBP|statue|Quest}}s that open the Chamber. Once encountered it battles the player's Pokémon to test itself. It did not recover fully from the time it was sealed away, and the player defeats it in battle. After being defeated, Mewtwo departs from the island. After the credits, it telepathically informs the player about [[Happenstance Island]].
* These notable Trainers all use Mewtwo:
** In [[Pokémon Stadium 2]], the [[Silver (game)|Rival]] will use a Mewtwo as part of his team.
** In {{G|Battle Revolution}}, during the [[Masters Battle/Set 8|Masters Battle Set 8]], [[Mysterial]] will use a Mewtwo as part of his team.

Similar to the {{pkmn|animated series}}, Mewtwo was created by [[Team Rocket]] in [[Pokémon Adventures]].

It was completed by [[Blaine]] sometime before ''[[PS034|And Mewtwo Too?!]]'', where it escaped from the hideout and settled into [[Cerulean Cave]].

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

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

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

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

List of unused Pokémon and character designs

2026-01-01T19:09:56Z

DrBrainIsAwesome: /* Altered Pokémon */

These are Pokémon and characters that were just a few of many different designs that [[Game Freak]] created. Only a few were added, and even those often went through redesigns before making it into the final product. Additionally, some Pokémon had early designs that were changed or altered by the time of their release.

A few creatures that bear a striking resemblance to certain Pokémon appear in Volume 14 of ''Bimonthly Game Review'' (Japanese: 隔月刊ゲーム批評) magazine, though these are stated to not be Pokémon. Nonetheless, some of their designs may have been reworked into Pokémon later.

==Altered Pokémon==
{| class="roundtable" style="margin: auto; text-align: center; background: #{{unknown color}}; border: 3px solid #{{unknown color dark}}"

| [[File:Early Ivysaur.png|150px]] '''{{p|Venusaur}}'''
|class="l" style="padding:5px"| [[File:0003Venusaur.png|100px|right]]
This early design shows {{p|Venusaur}}, though with Ivysaur's final index number and name, '''フシギソウ'''. However, this is indeed Venusaur, as this is also the case with {{p|Cloyster}} from this period which uses {{p|Shellder}}'s final index number and name. It maintains a blossomed flower on its back.
|- id="Karabajio & Mimī"
| [[File:Early Blastoise and Staryu sketch.jpg|150px]] '''Karabajio and Mimī'''
|class="l" style="padding:5px"| <div style="float:right; display:flex; flex-flow:row wrap;">[[File:0009Blastoise.png|75px|right]][[File:120Staryu.png|75px|right]]</div>
In this early depiction of a {{pkmn|battle}}, {{p|Blastoise}} is shown without its signature water cannons, and {{p|Staryu}} has a slightly different design. This picture is captioned "Karabajio VS. Mimī", which are not the names of any known Pokémon. Karabajio may be a reference to the Italian painter {{wp|Caravaggio}}, which in turn may reference how the {{wp|Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles}} are named after Italian artists. It also may include "carapace".
|- id="Kokana"
| [[File:Kokana.png|150px]] '''Kokana'''
|class="l" style="padding:5px"|[[File:0013Weedle.png|100px|right]]
An early version of {{p|Weedle}}. This was one of several Pokémon sprites shown on [[Game Freak]]'s official Japanese website circa 1997.
|- id="Kasanagi"
| [[File:Kasanagi.png|150px]] '''Kasanagi'''
|class="l" style="padding:5px"| The Evolution of Kokana. This was one of several Pokémon sprites shown on [[Game Freak]]'s official Japanese website circa 1997. It was replaced by {{p|Kakuna}}, although they share few similarities.
|- id="Kasanagi Evolution"
| [[File:Kasanagi evolution.png|150px]] '''Kasanagi Evolution'''
|class="l" style="padding:5px"| The Evolution of Kasanagi. This was one of several Pokémon sprites shown on [[Game Freak]]'s official Japanese website circa 1997, labelled "undecided". Like its pre-Evolution, it was replaced by {{p|Beedrill}}, but it somewhat resembles {{p|Ledian}} and a cockroach.
|- id="Spearow"
| [[File:Early Spearow.png|150px]] '''{{p|Spearow}}'''
|class="l" style="padding:5px"|[[File:0021Spearow.png|100px|right]]
This early version of {{p|Spearow}}, identified by its index number, was revealed on a sprite sheet for Pokémon Red and Green. Its design is different, with traits similar to both Farfetch'd and its final version.
|- id="Pikachu"
| '''{{p|Pikachu}}'''
|class="l" style="padding:5px"|[[File:0025Pikachu.png|right|100px]]
In an interview with Japanese newspaper Yomiuri on May 2, 2018, {{p|Pikachu}}'s original illustrator, [[Atsuko Nishida]], revealed the Pokémon's initial prototype resembled a {{wp|daifuku}} (a round dessert) with ears.<ref name=SiliconEra/><ref name=Pokemon.com/><ref name=Yomiuri1/> Its design basis changed to a squirrel to make it cuter overall, although the black tips on its ears are remnants of the initial concept.
|- id="Clefairy"
| [[File:Early Clefairy.png|150px]] '''{{p|Clefairy}}'''
|class="l" style="padding:5px"| [[File:0035Clefairy.png|100px|right]]
An early design for {{p|Clefairy}}, identified by its index number, that was shown on a sprite sheet for Pokemon Red and Green. Its round body is similar to its final design, although there are many differences, such as its horns and extremely enlarged eyes.
|- id="Poliwag"
| [[File:Prototype Poliwag.png|150px]] '''{{p|Poliwag}}'''
|class="l" style="padding:5px"| [[File:0060Poliwag.png|100px|right]]
An early version of {{p|Poliwag}}. This was one of several Pokémon sprites shown on [[Game Freak]]'s official Japanese website circa 1997.
|- id="Nyōsuka"
| [[File:Nyosuka.png|150px]] '''Nyōsuka'''
|class="l" style="padding:5px"| [[File:0062Poliwrath.png|100px|right]]
An early version of {{p|Poliwrath}}. This was one of several Pokémon sprites shown on [[Game Freak]]'s official Japanese website circa 1997. Notably, it is wearing a crown, similar to the [[King's Rock]] necessary to evolve {{p|Poliwhirl}} into {{p|Politoed}}. Its name was (Japanese: '''ニョースカ''' ''Nyōsuka'').
|- id="Seel"
| [[File:Man Who Created Pokémon manga unidentified 1.png|150px]] '''{{p|Seel}}'''
|class="l" style="padding:5px"|[[File:0086Seel.png|100px|right]]
A very early design for {{p|Seel}}, revealed in the 2018 educational manga "[[Satoshi Tajiri: The Man Who Created Pokémon]]". It was again part of the Popularity Poll entry sheets shown in the manga on a board. Although it does not resemble its final design, its name in Japanese, ''Pauwau'' ('''パウワウ''''), is identical.
|- id="Lapras"
| [[File:Early Lapras sketch.png|150px]] '''{{p|Lapras}}'''
|class="l" style="padding:5px"| [[File:0131Lapras.png|100px|right]]
This early version of {{p|Lapras}} is recognizably similar, but visually quite different. Lapras's curly ears are not present, and the underbelly coloration ends under the lower jaw instead of including it. There are also no visible appendages or tail, but that may be due to the water. However, it bears a striking resemblance to its [[Lapras (Pokémon)#Sprites|Generation I back sprite]]. Also in the sketch is an early design of {{ga|Red}}.
|- id="Dragonair"
| [[File:Prototype Dragonair.png|150px]] '''{{p|Dragonair}}'''
|class="l" style="padding:5px"| [[File:0148Dragonair.png|100px|right]]
An early version of {{p|Dragonair}}. This was one of several Pokémon sprites shown on [[Game Freak]]'s official Japanese website circa 1997.
|-
! colspan="2" style="margin:auto; text-align:center; background:#{{unknown color}}" |Generation II
|- id="Hanamogura"
| [[File:Spr 2d 153.png]][[File:Spr b 2d 153.png]] '''Hanamogura'''
|class="l" style="padding:5px"| [[File:0153Bayleef.png|100px|right]]
A drastically different early design of {{p|Bayleef}}, present in the [[Pokémon Gold and Silver Spaceworld '97 demo|Spaceworld '97 demo]], with an appearance resembling a blossom. Its name in the demo was (Japanese: '''ハナモグラ''' ''Hanamogura''). The final design, released a couple of years later in 1999, can be seen below. [[File:Spr 2g 153.png|left]]
|- id="Hōhō"
| [[File:Spr 2d 161.png]][[File:Spr b 2d 161.png]] '''{{p|Hoothoot}}'''
|class="l" style="padding:5px"| [[File:0163Hoothoot.png|100px|right]]
An early design of {{p|Hoothoot}}, present in the [[Pokémon Gold and Silver Spaceworld '97 demo|Spaceworld '97 demo]], had facial markings resembling freckles and a tail acting as a single, pendulum-like feather. The final design, released a couple of years later in 1999, can be seen below. [[File: Spr 2g 163.png|left]]
|- id="Bobo"
| [[File:Spr 2d 162.png]][[File:Spr b 2d 162.png]] '''Bōbō'''
|class="l" style="padding:5px"| [[File:0164Noctowl.png|100px|right]]
An early design of {{p|Noctowl}}, with a design more reminiscent of Hoothoot, was present in the [[Pokémon Gold and Silver Spaceworld '97 demo|Spaceworld '97 demo]]. Its name in the demo was (Japanese: '''ボーボー''' ''Bobo''), a phonetic shift to the Japanese name of its pre-Evolution stage. The final design, released a couple of years later in 1999, can be seen below. [[File: Spr 2g 164.png]]
|- id="Kokumo"
| [[File:Spr 2d 185.png]][[File:Spr b 2d 185.png]] '''Kokumo'''
|class="l" style="padding:5px"| [[File:0167Spinarak.png|100px|right]]
An early design of {{p|Spinarak}} with segmented legs was present in the [[Pokémon Gold and Silver Spaceworld '97 demo|Spaceworld '97 demo]]. Its name in the demo was (Japanese: '''コクモ''' ''Kokumo''). The final design, released a couple of years later in 1999, can be seen below. [[File: Spr 2g 167.png|left]]
|- id="Twohead"
| [[File:Spr 2d 186.png]][[File:Spr b 2d 186.png]] '''Tsūheddo'''
|class="l" style="padding:5px"| [[File:0168Ariados.png|100px|right]]
An early design of {{p|Ariados}} that strongly resembles Spinarak and has a face on its abdomen, was present in the [[Pokémon Gold and Silver Spaceworld '97 demo|Spaceworld '97 demo]]. Its name in the demo was (Japanese: '''ツーヘッド''' ''Tsūheddo''), probably a transliteration of "Twohead". The final design, released a couple of years later in 1999, can be seen below. [[File: Spr 2g 168.png|left]]
|- id="Pachime"
| [[File:Spr 2d 163.png]][[File:Spr b 2d 163.png]] '''Pachime'''
|class="l" style="padding:5px"| [[File:0179Mareep.png|100px|right]]
An early design of {{p|Mareep}} was present in the [[Pokémon Gold and Silver Spaceworld '97 demo|Spaceworld '97 demo]]. Its name in the demo was (Japanese: '''パチメエ''' ''Pachime''). The final design, released a couple of years later in 1999, can be seen below. [[File:Spr 2g 179.png|left]]
|- id="Ampharos"
| [[File:Official Pokemon Fanbook 1997 Ampharos Sprite.png|150px]] '''{{p|Ampharos}}'''
|class="l" style="padding:5px"| [[File:0181Ampharos.png|100px|right]]
An early sprite of {{p|Ampharos}} from when {{game|Gold and Silver|s}} were in development for the original [[Game Boy]], as shown by its two-tone color palette. Ampharos is shown with a shorter neck and it only has two rings around its neck instead of three.
|- id="Bellossom"
| [[File:182Bellossom GS.png|150px]] '''{{p|Bellossom}}'''
|class="l" style="padding:5px"| [[File:0182Bellossom.png|100px|right]]
The artwork of {{p|Bellossom}} used until {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} shows that it was originally to be a similar color to its other evolutionary relatives. This might have been changed to avoid another [[Pokémon controversies#Racism|racial controversy]], as the original Bellossom design appears similar to traditional {{wp|Polynesia}}n dress.
|- id="Mariru"
| [[File:Spr 2d 179.png]][[File:Spr b 2d 179.png]] '''{{p|Marill}}'''
|class="l" style="padding:5px"| [[File:0183Marill.png|100px|right]]
An early design of {{p|Marill}} was present in the [[Pokémon Gold and Silver Spaceworld '97 demo|Spaceworld '97 demo]]. While it is recognizably similar, it has several visual differences, most notably the pink color. It also does not sport Marill's erratic tail pattern. The final design, released a couple of years later in 1999, can be seen below. [[File:Spr 2g 183.png|left]]
|- id="Nyorotono"
| [[File:Spr 2d 199.png]][[File:Spr b 2d 199.png]] '''{{p|Politoed}}'''
|class="l" style="padding:5px"| [[File:0186Politoed.png|100px|right]]
A drastically different early design of {{p|Politoed}} with a more frog-like appearance, no antenna, and the swirling pattern seen on the rest of the Poliwag line, was present in the [[Pokémon Gold and Silver Spaceworld '97 demo|Spaceworld '97 demo]]. The final design, released a couple of years later in 1999, can be seen below. {{p|Bellibolt}} appears to have been based on this prototype design. [[File: Spr 2g 186.png]]
|- id="Haneko"
| [[File:Spr 2d 214.png]][[File:Spr b 2d 214.png]] '''Haneko'''
|class="l" style="padding:5px"| [[File:0187Hoppip.png|100px|right]]
An early, darker version of {{p|Hoppip}} that somewhat resembled a cat with no limbs and a long tail was present in the [[Pokémon Gold and Silver Spaceworld '97 demo|Spaceworld '97 demo]]. Its name in the demo was (Japanese: '''ハネコ''' ''Haneko''). The final design, released a couple of years later in 1999, can be seen below. [[File:Spr 2g 187.png|left]]
|- id="Poponeko"
| [[File:Spr 2d 215.png]][[File:Spr b 2d 215.png]] '''Poponeko'''
|class="l" style="padding:5px"| [[File:0188Skiploom.png|100px|right]]
An early design of {{p|Skiploom}} somewhat resembled a cat with no limbs and a long tail was present in the [[Pokémon Gold and Silver Spaceworld '97 demo|Spaceworld '97 demo]]. Its name in the demo was (Japanese: '''ポポネコ''' ''Poponeko''). The final design, released a couple of years later in 1999, can be seen below. [[File: Spr 2g 188.png|left]]
|- id="Wataneko"
| [[File:Spr 2d 216.png]][[File:Spr b 2d 216.png]] '''Wataneko'''
|class="l" style="padding:5px"| [[File:0189Jumpluff.png|100px|right]]
An early design of {{p|Jumpluff}} somewhat resembled a cat with no limbs and a long tail resembling a hot air balloon was present in the [[Pokémon Gold and Silver Spaceworld '97 demo|Spaceworld '97 demo]]. Its name in the demo was (Japanese: '''ワタネコ''' ''Wataneko''). The final design, released a couple of years later in 1999, can be seen below. [[File: Spr 2g 189.png|left]]
|- id="Tail"
| [[File:Spr 2d 250.png]][[File:Spr b 2d 250.png]] '''Teiru'''
|class="l" style="padding:5px"| [[File:0190Aipom.png|100px|right]]
A drastically different design of {{p|Aipom}}, closer in design to a lemur, was present in the [[Pokémon Gold and Silver Spaceworld '97 demo|Spaceworld '97 demo]]. Its name in the demo was (Japanese: '''テイル''' ''Teiru''), probably a transliteration of "Tail". The final design, released a couple years later in 1999, can be seen below. [[File: Spr 2g 190.png|left]]
|- id="Mizuuo"
| [[File:Spr 2d 175.png]][[File:Spr b 2d 175.png]] '''Mizūo'''
|class="l" style="padding:5px"| [[File:0195Quagsire.png|100px|right]]
An early design of {{p|Quagsire}}, with a chubbier body, no dorsal ridge, and a tail resembling {{p|Poliwag}}'s, was present in the [[Pokémon Gold and Silver Spaceworld '97 demo|Spaceworld '97 demo]]. Its name in the demo was (Japanese: '''ミズウオ''' ''Mizuuo''). The final design, released a couple of years later in 1999, can be seen below. [[File: Spr 2g 195.png|left]]
|- id="Kirinriki"
| [[File:Spr 2d 194.png]][[File:Spr b 2d 194.png]] '''{{p|Girafarig}}'''
|class="l" style="padding:5px"| [[File:0203Girafarig.png|100px|right]]
This sprite of {{p|Girafarig}} from the [[Pokémon Gold and Silver Spaceworld '97 demo|Spaceworld '97 demo]] shows the original design featured two full-sized giraffe heads. It is unknown why the design was changed, but overall it remains mostly similar outside of some coloring differences. This design might be a reference to Girafarig's name being a {{wp|palindrome}}. It also bears a resemblance to a {{wp|List of Doctor Dolittle characters#The Pushmi-pullyu|pushmi-pullyu}}. The final design, released a couple of years later in 1999, can be seen below. [[File:Spr 2g 203.png|left]]
|- id="Haneei"
| [[File:Spr 2d 169.png]][[File:Spr b 2d 169.png]] '''Haneei'''
|class="l" style="padding:5px"| [[File:0226Mantine.png|100px|right]]
This sprite of {{p|Mantine}} from the [[Pokémon Gold and Silver Spaceworld '97 demo|Spaceworld '97 demo]] shows the original design featured a feathered bird-like design. Besides the feathers, the face on the back of Mantine's original design is much more prominent and intimidating, as opposed to the design of Matine, which simply has two circles that give off the allusion of eyes. Its name in the demo was (Japanese: '''ハネエイ''' ''Haneei''). The final design, released a couple of years later in 1999, can be seen below. [[File:Spr 2g 226.png|left]]
|-

|- id="Treecko"
| [[File:Treecko concept art.png|150px]] '''{{p|Treecko}}'''
|class="l" style="padding:5px"| [[File:0252Treecko.png|100px|right]]
Concept art of {{p|Treecko}} shows numerous designs for the creature before the final one was decided. Many of these early sketches more closely resemble real geckos than the final product, which would later gain a more elongated head shape and a rounder nose.
|- id="Torchic"
| [[File:Torchic Beta2.jpg|150px]] [[File:Torchic Beta.jpg|150px]] '''{{p|Torchic}}'''
|class="l" style="padding:5px"| [[File:0255Torchic.png|100px|right]]
This early version of {{p|Torchic}} shows its lower body covered by an eggshell, with the fluff going all around its neck and wing-shaped ears. The other early design is nearly identical to the current Torchic, aside from the large floppy ears, and a flame-shaped marking on the back of its head, rather than the final design's flame-shaped feathers on top of its head.
|- id="Blaziken"
| [[File:Latias Blaziken.jpg|150px]] '''{{p|Blaziken}}'''
|class="l" style="padding:5px"| [[File:0257Blaziken.png|100px|right]]
A design of {{p|Blaziken}} that features wings and resembles a griffin.<ref name=May2020>[https://tcrf.net/Development:Pok%C3%A9mon_Ruby_and_Sapphire/Pok%C3%A9mon_Data TCRF showcases that this was always originally Blaziken as opposed to Latios/Latias, who existed separately at one point.]</ref> Sometimes referred to as Latiken or Latiaziken by fans, this early image from Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire also features many traits shared by {{p|Latias}} and {{p|Latios}}.
|- id="Groudon"
| [[File:Groudon Beta.jpg|150px]] '''{{p|Groudon}}'''
|class="l" style="padding:5px"| [[File:0383Groudon.png|100px|right]]
In its early design, its eyes were shaped differently, the positioning of the spikes on its body was slightly different, its overall shapes are much less sharp, its head details became much more elongated in the final version, and the [[super-ancient Pokemon]]'s signature body patterns are not present.
|-
! colspan="2" style="margin:auto; text-align:center; background:#{{unknown color}}" |Generation IV
|- id="Combee"
| [[File:Spr 4d 415b.png]] '''{{p|Combee}}'''
|class="l" style="padding:5px"| [[File:0415Combee.png|100px|right]]
The original design for {{p|Combee}} featured three larvae, instead of honey bees, wedged inside a honeycomb. [[Ken Sugimori]] noted that while the concept sounded "gross", it is nonetheless a distinctive and attention-grabbing idea, so the team decided to keep the design and tweak it slightly. In particular, Combee's three faces were simplified, based on simple faces found in old comic books, to make its overall appearance friendlier.<ref name=USUM/> [[File:Spr 4d 415 f.png|left]]
|- id="Shellos & Gastrodon"
| [[File:Spr b 4d 422b.png]][[File:Spr b 4d 423b.png]] '''{{p|Shellos}} and {{p|Gastrodon}}'''

Prototype back sprites of {{p|Shellos}} and {{p|Gastrodon}} found in the release versions of Diamond and Pearl show another form for each. These forms are possibly leftovers from when Shellos and Gastrodon were planned to be in Generation III. Shellos's sprite is pink, like its West Sea form, and seems to combine the West Sea form's head with the East Sea form's body. Gastrodon's sprite is brown and looks like its West Sea form, but with more rock-like protrusions on its body.
|-

| [[File:BW Prerelease double battle.png|150px]] '''{{p|Excadrill}}'''
|class="l" style="padding:5px"| [[File:530Excadrill.png|100px|right]]
In {{p|Excadrill}}'s first appearance in a promotional video, its body was violet and its markings were mirrored and a different shade of red. However, it was changed to its current appearance in the next video it appeared in.

According to interviews with [[Ken Sugimori]] in ''Nintendo Dream'', during development, {{p|Sawk}} and {{p|Throh}} both had horns to look more like ''{{wp|oni}}''. However, these were replaced with eyebrows so as not to clash with {{p|Tornadus}} and {{p|Thundurus}}, who were originally designed to be red and blue, like Throh and Sawk.<ref name=ND205/>

{{p|Stunfisk}}'s design was originally based on a {{wp|goosefish}}, but eventually became based on a {{wp|flounder}}. It was also a {{2t|Water|Electric}}-type, but was changed to {{t|Ground}}/Electric to balance out the type spread of Pokémon.<ref name=ND204/>

{{p|Hydreigon}}'s evolutionary line was originally designed with a tank motif, with the tread-like markings on Zweilous and Hydreigon being remnants of this design. The initial designs were scrapped after the designers felt that it didn't work. Later, a powerful, three stage Dragon-type Evolution was needed and the design was brought back and revised.<ref name=ND205/>

|class="l" style="padding:5px"| Gorochu (Japanese: '''ゴロチュウ''' ''Gorochū'') was originally intended to be {{p|Raichu}}'s Evolution. Pikachu's original illustrator, [[Atsuko Nishida]], and Pokémon designer Ken Sugimori revealed the lost Evolution in an interview with Japanese newspaper Yomiuri on May 2, 2018.<ref name=SiliconEra/><ref name=Pokemon.com/><ref name=Yomiuri3/> Sugimori cited game balance issues, which led to the design being omitted from the games. The design was to include fangs and a pair of horns. The prefix in its name likely comes from ゴロゴロ ''gorogoro'' ({{wp|onomatopoeia}} for thunder) in a way similar to how Pikachu’s name is derived.

In April 2020, a leaked copy of the source code and assets for Pokémon Blue was released on the Internet. The source code was found to contain a collection of pre-release material detailing the development of Generation I. Among this information was a back sprite for a Pokémon matching Gorochu's description.<ref>https://tcrf.net/Development:Pok%C3%A9mon_Red_and_Blue/Pok%C3%A9mon#Pok.C3.A9mon_Index_175</ref>

===''Bimonthly Game Review''===
Volume 14 of the ''Bimonthly Game Review'' (Japanese: 隔月刊ゲーム批評) magazine, which was published in April 1997 by MicroDesign Publishing (Japanese: {{jwp|マイクロマガジン社|マイクロデザイン出版局}}), included an interview with [[Ken Sugimori]]. For this piece, Sugimori drew several original characters in the style of Pokémon, but not from the Pokémon world.<ref name=MicroDesignApr1997/>

|- id="Unnamed creature"
| [[File:Magazine top.png|150px]] '''Unnamed creature'''
|class="l" style="padding:5px"| This creature has an unusual appearance, sharing characteristics with both {{p|Clefairy}} and {{p|Hitmontop}}; in the case of the latter, a horned tail and multiple paws around its midsection suggest a similar top motif. However, this creature has its point located on its bottom, while Hitmontop has its point located atop its head. It's notable that at the time of the [[Pokémon Gold and Silver Spaceworld '97 demo|Spaceworld '97 demo]], Hitmontop had a drastically different design that would not be finalized for a significant period of time. This in addition to the magazine's context, means it is unlikely to be related to the {{p|Tyrogue}} family.
|- id="Unnamed turtle"
| [[File:Magazine turtle.png|150px]] '''Unnamed turtle'''
|class="l" style="padding:5px"| This creature does not bear resemblance to any Pokémon from [[Generation II]], but rather {{p|Tirtouga}} from [[Generation V]].
|- id="Tyranitar"
| [[File:Magazine Tyranitar.png|150px]] '''Tyranitar'''
|class="l" style="padding:5px"| [[File:248Tyranitar.png|100px|right]]
This creature strongly resembles {{p|Tyranitar}}, being extremely similar to the design seen in the finalized Gold and Silver versions. It has very few differences compared to the final version. Of these differences, the early Tyranitar design is more heavy-set, has a tan, rather than indigo belly, arms more reminiscent of Nidoking, and dozens of short spikes upon its back rather than a few long ones. However, at the time of the magazine's release, Tyranitar was not present in the [[Pokémon Gold and Silver Spaceworld '97 demo|Spaceworld '97 demo]], and wouldn't appear in any revision for another two years. Thus, it is likely that this design, true to the interview in the magazine, was revisited and revised on its own merits.

The character is almost bald, has long eyebrows and appears to be overweight. He is presented in a similar art style to the sumo enemies from [[Game Freak]]'s debut title, Quinty (localized as {{wp|Mendel Palace}}).

Revamped and enlarged versions of Mendel Palace's sumo sprites [https://tcrf.net/Pok%C3%A9mon_Ruby#Unused_Overworld_sprite also appear] in {{3v2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}} as unused overworld sprites.

This art of an unnamed female character (with {{p|Squirtle}}) was featured on the cover artwork for the official strategy guide for {{2v2|Red|Green|}}, as published by [[Shogakukan]]. Sugimori had stated that he wanted to portray a trio of Trainers facing against each other, hence created the female character for the cover.<ref name=SugimoriTwitter1/> When Red and Green were being developed for a {{game3|FireRed and LeafGreen|remake|s}}, Sugimori took the unnamed female character into consideration as he was designing the female player character, who later became known as {{ga|Leaf}}.<ref name=SugimoriTwitter2/>

A character named Green later appeared in [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], whose design appears to have taken inspiration from both the unnamed female character and the female player character of {{game3|FireRed and LeafGreen|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}.

The unnamed female character also appeared [[Media:Pokémon Craft DX cover.png|several]] [[Media:Pokémon Craft DX 3.png|times]] in manga-styled instructions illustrated by Emiko Yoshino included in Pokémon papercraft sets (bottom).

In the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga, a similar artwork appeared at the end of {{PAV|3}} (right). The design of the character {{adv|Green}} seems to have drawn inspiration from this unknown female character.

'''Team MZ''' (Japanese: '''{{ruby|ＭＺ団|エムゼットだん}}''' ''MZ-dan'', literally ''MZ Gang'') is an organization based in the [[Kalos]] [[region]], specifically at [[Hotel Z]] in [[Lumiose City]], to protect the city from any threats. The team regularly works with [[Quasartico Inc.]]

The player joins Team MZ at the beginning of {{g|Legends: Z-A}} and remains with the team throughout the game and its upcoming [[Mega Dimension]] DLC.

==In the core series games==
===Pokémon Legends: Z-A===
{{incomplete|section}}
{{spoilers}}
Six months prior to the events of {{g|Legends: Z-A}}, the first Rogue Mega-Evolved Pokémon, a {{p|Pidgeot}}, was discovered. [[AZ]] attempted to quell it with his Floette, but his advanced age prevented him from partaking in a prolonged battle. [[Urbain]]/[[Taunie]], who had been staying at [[Hotel Z]], stepped in and battled with Floette, defeating the Rogue Mega Pidgeot. Impressed, [[Vinnie]] of [[Quasartico Inc.]] began entrusting the young Trainer with some of the company's intelligence on Rogue Mega Evolution. This inspired Urbain/Taunie to form Team MZ.

Over the following six months, Urbain/Taunie recruited three more members to Team MZ: [[Naveen]], who joined in exchange for studio space; [[Lida]], who joined in exchange for lodging; and the player.

After the player completes 15 Infinite [[Z-A Royale]] matches, Urbain/Taunie withdraws from active involvement as the team's leader to become the new CEO of Quasartico, though they assert that they will "always be Team MZ." Thereafter, when spoken to at Hotel Z while Urbain/Taunie is absent, Lida states they are "still our team leader."

{{endspoilers}}

===Mega Dimension===
In the [[Mega Dimension]] DLC, [[Korrina]] joins Team MZ in order to assist them in solving the mystery of [[Hyperspace Lumiose]].

==Trivia==
* In Korean, "MZ" is an umbrella term used to group young people who are either {{wp|millennial}}s or part of {{wp|Generation Z}}, which could be a double meaning for the team name.
* Team MZ is the only group with the ''"Team"'' prefix not to be a [[villainous team|criminal organization]].

Bag

2025-11-05T15:57:51Z

DrBrainIsAwesome: /* Outside of battle */More information about video game bags being bigger on the inside

[[File:XY bag.png|thumb|right|150px|The players' [[Trainer customization|default]] bags in [[Pokémon X and Y]]]]
[[File:Pt bag.png|frame|right|The players' Bags in {{game|Platinum}}]]
[[File:Professor Birch Bag.png|frame|right|[[Professor Birch]]'s bag from {{3v2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}]]
[[File:Professor Rowan Bag.png|frame|right|[[Professor Rowan]]'s briefcase from {{2v2|Diamond|Pearl}}]]
The '''Bag''' (Japanese: '''バッグ''' ''bag''), referred to on the [[menu]] as '''Item''' (Japanese: '''どうぐ''' ''tool'') in [[Generation I]] and '''Pack''' (Japanese: '''リュック''' ''ruck'') in [[Generation II]], is a vital tool in all [[core series]] [[Pokémon games]]. It holds all of the player's [[item]]s, storing them for later use. By opening the Bag, players can use, arrange, and toss most items, and [[Feature registration|register]] [[Key Item]]s for easy access.

In the [[Help System]] of the [[Generation V]] games, it is called the '''Bag function''' (Japanese: '''バッグの{{ruby|機|き}}{{ruby|能|のう}}''' ''bag function'').
==In the core series games==
===Overview===
====Outside of battle====
[[File:SwShBag.png|thumb|200px|right|The Bag menu in [[Pokémon Sword and Shield]]]]
The Bag appears as part of the [[menu|start menu]] in all [[core series]] games.

All [[items]] that the player has on hand will be located in the Bag and, after [[Generation I]], being placed in the appropriate pocket automatically. Prior to [[Generation IV]], the items pocket had limited spaces for items, while the other pockets had space for any and all items that would go there. The limit is 20 up through {{2v2|Ruby|Sapphire}}, 30 in {{v2|Emerald}}, and 42 in {{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}}. If an item to be picked up would be placed into the items pocket, however, and the pocket was full, it could not be picked up until the player had deposited some items into the [[PC]]. This problem no longer exists in Generation IV and beyond, where all pockets have enough space for every item. The bag in the games {{wp|Hammerspace|can contain items of much greater quantity and size than its physical size would suggest}}, such as [[Bicycle|bicycles]] and multiple [[Fishing rod|fishing rods]].

Inside of the Bag menu, the player will find a list of all their items, ordered by default from the first kind obtained to the most recently obtained. Players may rearrange these items with the select button, except in the [[Berry|Berries]] and [[TM]]s and [[HM]]s pockets, which are automatically ordered. Depending on the type of item, and sometimes on the item itself, options exist when it is selected that allow players to use the item, throw the item away, [[Feature registration|register]] it to the Select/Y button for use on the field, or have a Pokémon [[held item|hold]] it.

In Generation II-III, if the bag is full, the message will state that the player found an item, but the next message will state that the bag is full. In Generation I, if the bag is full and the player finds an item, it will immediately state that the bag is full.
{{-}}

====In battle====
[[File:Pokémon battle items SM.png|thumb|200px|right|Bag menu during a Pokémon battle in Generation VII.]]
The Bag is also one of the four menu selections during a [[Pokémon battle]], and allows the player to use items that can be used in battle, such as [[Poké Ball]]s, [[Potion]]s, and items like [[X Attack]]. Prior to Generation IV, the Bag menu during battle was the same as that outside of battle, allowing inventory checking of items that are unrelated to battle during it. In Generation IV, however, it became a completely different menu on the touch screen, split into four categories of use:

* [[:Category:HP-restoring items|HP]]/[[:Category:PP-restoring items|PP]] Restore
* [[Status condition healing item|Status Restore]]
* [[Poké Ball]]s
* [[Battle item|Battle Items]]

Using an item while in battle uses up a turn. Prior to Generation VII, this only occurs if the item that the player tries to use has an effect during the battle (for example, attempting to use an [[Hyper Potion]] on the Pokémon while its HP is full will result in the "It won't have any effect" message). In Generation VII, attempting to use an item that would have no effect takes a turn, but does not consume the item. Items cannot be used in linked battles or in facilities such as the [[Battle Tower]].

The item that was last used during battle, if there were multiple copies of it in the Bag, can be easily used again. The selection cursor will remain on it in Generation I-III and VII games, while a shortcut menu will exist at the lower left corner of the screen to the last used item in Generation IV-VI.
{{-}}

===Differences between generations===
While the Bag has remained a consistent part of the menu screen for all generations, significant changes have been made to its structure in each succeeding generation, with most welcomed as improvements.

====Generation I====
In [[Generation I]], the Bag is a list of up to 20 different kinds of items, with no separation into different pockets. The player cannot obtain new items if they do not have room in their Bag. The player can hold up to 99 of each item; if obtaining an item would result in the player having more than 99 of a single item, the excess items are placed in a new stack if the player has room for another item stack in their Bag (otherwise they cannot be obtained). (Some [[glitch]]es, such as [[MissingNo.]]'s [[item duplication glitch]], allow the player to hold up to 255 items in a single Bag slot.)

Due to the limited space in their Bag, additional items can be stored in the [[PC]]'s {{DL|PC|Item Storage System}}. However, if the player's Bag is full, they cannot pick up new items, even if they have room in their Item Storage System, as the player can only move items between their Bag and Item Storage System by using a PC.

Despite the lack of pockets, there is still a distinction between [[Key Item]]s and other items. Key Items have no quantity displayed next to them (since the player can only ever have one instance of each Key Item at a time) and cannot be sold or tossed.

====Generation II====
[[File:Bag artwork.png|thumb|100px|Bag artwork from Pokémon Gold and Silver]]
In [[Generation II]], the Bag is now split into four different pockets. There are three specialized pockets for specific types of items, as well as the items pocket for all other items. While the specialized pockets now are each large enough to hold all items of their type, the items pocket still has a size limit, so additional items can be stored in the [[PC]]'s {{DL|PC|Item Storage System}}.

Each pocket has 20 slots for holding items, except the [[TM]] and [[HM]] pocket which can hold all 50 TMs and 7 HMs. The player cannot obtain more items if their Bag is full, even if there is room in their PC's Item Storage System.

The player can hold up to 99 of any one item in each pocket slot. If the player would obtain a number of an item that would cause them to have more than 99 of it in their Bag, the item will form a new stack in a different slot. When throwing items away, only items from the selected slot can be discarded, even if the player has more of the same item in a different slot.

Starting in Generation II, each item has a description, which provides the player information about its function.

|}

====Generation III====
In {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}, there is one more pocket than in Generation II, the {{Berries}} pocket. In {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, there are three pockets, with the Berries and TMs & HMs pockets being replaced by the [[Key Item]]s the [[Berry Pouch]] and [[TM Case]] respectively. While the specialized pockets are each large enough to hold all items of their type, the items pocket still has a size limit, so additional items can be stored in the [[PC]]'s {{DL|PC|Item Storage System}}.

The items pocket can hold up to 20 different items in Pokémon {{2v2|Ruby|Sapphire}}, 30 in Pokémon {{v2|Emerald}}, and 42 in Pokémon {{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}}. In Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire, Emerald, FireRed, and LeafGreen, the player cannot obtain more items if their Bag is full, even if there is room in their PC's Item Storage System.

The player can hold up to 999 of each item. If the player would obtain a number of an item that would cause them to have more than 999 of it in their Bag, they cannot obtain those items. The [[Key Item]]s pocket does not display the item quantity, because the player is unable to find more than one of each Key Item in normal gameplay. However, each Key Item actually has a hidden quantity value in the game data, therefore the Bag is able to store multiple repeated Key Items in the same line as well (like in any other pocket).

The Berries and TMs & HMs pockets, and their counterparts the Berry Pouch and TM Case, have a pre-defined order in which they are always sorted, unlike other pockets. The Berries pocket and Berry Pouch are sorted by Berry number. The TMs & HMs pocket and TM Case are sorted by TM and HM number; the TMs & HMs pocket sorts TMs above HMs, whereas the TM Case sorts HMs above TMs.

In {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}, the player may store Key Items in the [[PC]]. However, this is not possible in [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions|Pokémon FireRed, LeafGreen]], and [[Pokémon Emerald Version|Emerald]]; in these games, all Key Item remains indefinitely in the Bag, except those items that are eventually delivered to [[non-player character|NPCs]].

Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen introduced images of each item, which can be seen from the player's Bag. These images were retained in Pokémon Emerald as well as later generations.

A visual of the Bag itself is visible while browsing its contents. Male and female player characters have different Bag designs. In {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}, the Bags are yellow; in {{game|Emerald}}, they are green. In the catching tutorials, the {{ka|old man}} and [[Wally]] use the same Bag that the male player would use, even if the player is female.

======Battle Pyramid======
In Pokémon Emerald's [[Battle Pyramid]], the player uses the exclusive '''Battle Bag''' to hold items for use in the battle facility. The color of the icon is purple for the Level 50 challenge, and red for the Open Level challenge.

|-
| style="background:#FFF; {{roundybottom|5px}}" | Contains items acquired in the [[Battle Pyramid]].
|}

====Generation IV====
The Bag was revamped once again in Generation IV, not only removing the space limit (and making the PC item storage system for items obsolete, resulting in its discontinuation) but also splitting the pockets up further than in Generation III. Three new pockets were split off from the Items pocket, making for a total of eight pockets. The Bags are yellow in Diamond and Pearl, but gray/silver in Platinum.

The player can hold up to 999 of each item. If the player would obtain a number of an item that would cause them to have more than 999 of it in their Bag, they cannot obtain those items.

In {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}, the Bag retained the list-like format from Generation III, with pocket-changing controls as well as a Poké Ball-shaped scrollwheel being present on the bottom screen. {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, by contrast, groups the items into six-cell pages. Additionally these games have Ethan/Lyra holding the bag with the pocket being highlighted, while other games just show pockets.

====Generation V====
In {{2v2|Black|White}}, the Bag was overhauled again, with eight pockets being condensed into five, much like in {{3v2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}. The pockets are called Cases in these games, and are labeled '''Items''', '''Medicine''', '''TMs & HMs''', '''Berries''' and '''Key Items''', with [[Poké Ball]]s, [[Mail]], [[held item]]s and other items all being placed in the ''Items'' pocket. Held items, Mail and Poké Balls are indicated as such by an icon displayed to the immediate left of the item that corresponds to what type of item it is.

The player can hold up to 999 of each item. If the player would obtain a number of an item that would cause them to have more than 999 of it in their Bag, they cannot obtain those items.

In these games, recently acquired items (other than TMs) are added at the top of their respective item list (rather than the bottom, as in previous generations), and players can sort a pocket automatically by pressing Start, in addition to manual sorting with Select.

In {{2v2|Black|White|2}}, a '''Free Space''' section was added to the Bag, and the icon takes on the appearance of a smaller Bag. Players can select items they use most and add them to Free Space for easy access. Manual sorting cannot be performed in this section, and items are always placed in alphabetical order. However, the player can filter the kind of items they want to see with the sorting button.

Unlike in the first pairs, new items go at the bottom of the item list like in previous generations rather than the top, including TMs and HMs. More sorting options were also added.

====Generation VI====
Generation VI saw the least amount of changes to the Bag. Items may be picked up by pressing and holding with the stylus, which allows for manual sorting; Start and Select both open the automatic sorting menu. In addition, the Items slot no longer has icons indicating items' types, though they are still grouped together when automatically sorted.  The Free Space slot from {{B2W2}} was removed, once again giving the Bag five slots, and each slot can be dragged to rearrange the order. A clock icon was also added at the bottom of the screen, which will show a list of the last twelve items used. An icon resembling two arrows rotating between was added at the bottom of the screen, also to open the automatic sorting menu.

The player can hold up to 999 of each item. If the player would obtain a number of an item that would cause them to have more than 999 of it in their Bag, they cannot obtain those items.

While the physical shape of the Bag did not change, it is now possible to customize the color and patterning of the bag due to it being an article of [[List of clothing in Pokémon X and Y|clothing]] as a part of [[Trainer customization]]. This is not in [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire]] due to the lack of Trainer customization in those titles, otherwise the bag works functionally the same as it did in [[Pokémon X and Y]].

====Generation VII====
In Generation VII, the Bag retained most of its functions found in Generation VI except for the removal of the clock function and the reordering of pockets. While the five sections from Generation VI remain, two new sections were added.

The '''Free Space''' section, previously seen in {{B2W2}}, makes a return and allows the player to store any items they want from other sections for convenience. A new section called '''Z-Crystals''' is also added, which stores all [[Z-Crystal]]s found in the game. The Z-Crystals section will only be available once the player has obtained a Z-Crystal and the [[Z-Ring]]{{sup/7|SM}} or [[Z-Power Ring]]{{sup/7|USUM}}. Due to the removal of HMs from the games, the '''TMs & HMs''' section has been renamed to '''TMs''' only.

The player can hold up to 999 of each item. If the player would obtain a number of an item that would cause them to have more than 999 of it in their Bag, they cannot obtain those items.

[[Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon]] added a new section called '''Rotom Powers''', which stores {{DL|Rotom Pokédex|Rotom Powers}} received from befriending the [[Rotom Pokédex]]. The Rotom Powers works similarly to [[Pass Power]]s and [[O-Power]]s.

In [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], with far fewer kinds of obtainable items, the bag is overhauled into being essentially a list of items displayed as a grid, similar to that of [[Pokémon GO]]. At the top of the list are eight pockets that are programmed as items that contain other items, like the [[TM Case]] from FireRed and LeafGreen. Many items do not belong in any category, such as [[Key Item]]s, [[valuable item]]s and [[Repel]]s, and are instead listed in the same level as pockets.

====Generation VIII====
In Generation VIII, the Bag retained most of its functions found in Pokémon Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon. The ability to manually reorder items and the Free Space were replaced by the ability to mark an item as favorite and sort a pocket so that favorites are at the top. While the five sections from Generation VI remain, the new sections from Generation VII were removed and four sections were added.

The '''Poké Balls''' and '''Battle Items''' Pockets last seen in the [[Generation IV]] games have returned. The '''Items''' Pocket has been renamed to the '''Other Items''' Pocket, with [[valuable item]]s split off to the new '''Treasures''' Pocket. A new '''Ingredients''' Pocket has also been added, which stores food used to make [[curry]].

The player can hold up to 999 of each item. If the player would obtain a number of an item that would cause them to have more than 999 of it in their Bag, they cannot obtain those items.

In {{g|Sword and Shield}}, the Bag is briefly unavailable from the [[menu]] at the start of the game; the player must pick it up from their room first before leaving their [[Player's house|home]].

{{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}} retain all functionality from {{g|Sword and Shield}}, as well as all pockets with the exception of the Ingredients Pocket. The visual representation of the Bag itself returns from Generation IV, now changing to match the player's current Bag if changed through [[Trainer customization]]. With Mails being removed from these games, due to Nintendo Switch having the ability to post screenshots in social media platforms, it has been replaced with Treasures. Items has been replaced with Other Items, though, it functions the same.

In {{g|Legends: Arceus}}, with far fewer kinds of obtainable items, the bag ('''[[satchel]]''') is overhauled into being essentially a list of items displayed as a grid. At the top of the list are two pockets: one that contain Everyday Items and other for Key Items. The capacity of the Everyday Items pocket is deliberately limited, unlike in games before Generation IV. The player can pay [[Bagin]] to increase the capacity of that pocket.

====Generation IX====
In Generation IX, the Bag retained its functions found in Pokémon Sword and Shield. While the nine sections from {{g|Sword and Shield}} remain, a new section was added. The ability to manually reorder items was replaced by the ability to automatically sort items in four different ways:
* Sort by type (Sort by number in TMs)
* Sort by name
* Newest first
* Favorites first

The '''Medicine''' Pocket has been renamed to the '''Medicines''' Pocket. The '''Ingredients''' Pocket has been renamed to the '''Picnic Items''' Pocket, which stores ingredients used to make [[sandwich]]es, sandwich picks and other picnic items. A new '''TM Materials''' Pocket has been added, which stores TM materials to craft [[TM]]s.

The player can hold up to 999 of each item. If the player would obtain a number of an item that would cause them to have more than 999 of it in their Bag, they cannot obtain those items. In the case of the [[Gimmighoul Coin]], the excess quantity of the item is sent to a man in [[Medali]].

In {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}, the Bag is briefly unavailable from the [[menu]] at the start of the game; the player must pick it up after [[Clavell]] enters their [[Player's house|home]].

In {{g|Legends: Z-A}}, the player starts with 3 [[Potion]]s in their '''satchel'''. All Mega Stones obtained by the player are displayed in the Mega Stones pocket, even if any of them is held by one of their Pokémon.

==In the side series games==
===Pokémon Colosseum and XD: Gale of Darkness===
{{incomplete|section|needs=Colosseum and XD details and screenshots}}
In {{g|Colosseum}} and {{pkmn|XD: Gale of Darkness}}, the Bag appears as part of the [[menu|start menu]] like in the [[core series]] games. In both games, the Bag has the same five pockets as in {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}.

In Pokémon Colosseum and XD, the Bag fteature is simply displayed as a list of item names with no visual representation of the player's Bag and no item sprites. The latter game was released after the introduction of item sprites in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, but does not use them nevertheless.

If the player would obtain an item while their Bag is full, it will be sent to their PC instead, unlike in the core series games where it would not be possible to obtain this item.

==In the spin-off games==

===Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series===
In {{g|Mystery Dungeon: Red and Blue Rescue Team}} and [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Rescue Team DX|Rescue Team DX]], items are stored in the [[Toolbox]]. It has a capacity of 20 in the former. In the latter, its inital capacity starts at 32 and increases up to 56.

In [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness|Explorers of Time, Darkness]], and [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky|Sky]], as well as [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Gates to Infinity|Gates to Infinity]] and {{pkmn|Super Mystery Dungeon}}, items are stored in the [[Treasure Bag]], which has a maximum capacity of 48. It starts at 16 in the Explorers games, and 24 in the latter games.

===Pokémon GO===
[[File:GO Bag Upgrade.png|thumb|100px|The Bag in Pokémon GO]]
In {{g|GO}}, the player's Bag initially has a capacity of 350 [[List of items in Pokémon GO|items]]. Bag Upgrades can be purchased in the [[PokéCoin|Shop]] for {{PCoin}}200, which expand the capacity by 50 items per upgrade. The maximum upgradeable capacity is 9,500 items, requiring 193 storage upgrades which cost {{PCoin}}33,600.

The player can hold more items than the Bag's capacity if they acquire multiple items at once that put them over the capacity, but if already over capacity, they will not be able to acquire more, such as from [[PokéStop]]s, [[Gift]]s, and Boxes available in the shop. If the player would start a {{OBP|Trainer Battle|GO}} with a full Bag, the game warns the player beforehand that they will not receive any rewards unless they make room. Rewards from {{OBP|Raid Battle|GO}}s, [[Field Research|Field]] or [[Special Research]], [[Adventure Sync]], [[Trainer level|leveling up]], and promotional codes are not affected by the Bag's capacity.

Prior to an update on February 17, 2017, the Bag was also available on the encounter screen, so that it could be used to select the camera, Berries, and other Poké Balls; it has since been replaced by separate buttons for these items.

The maximum upgradeable capacity has increased over time.

{{main|List of items in Pokémon Masters EX}}
In {{g|Masters EX}}, the bag is accessible from the Poryphone Menu and the [[Training Area]] menu. There are seven different sections, which are further divided into several categories based on item type.

===Pokémon UNITE===
{{main|List of items in Pokémon UNITE}}
In {{g|UNITE}}, the equivalent location is the '''Item Box''', which stores stores almost all of the items the player can obtain in the game. It is divided into Battle Items, Held Items, Prize Packs, Consumable Items, Puzzle Pieces, and Other. The New Items section is dedicated to recently obtained items, and the All section juts displays all items. Some [[currency|currencies]] are treated as items, namely Holowear Tickets, Fashion Tickets, and Item Enhancers.

[[Held items]] can't be interacted with from this menu, instead being managed from the '''Held Items''' menu. Trying to give a Pokémon a Held Item from the Item Box transitions to that menu. However, 7-Day Max Grade Trial Cards can be used from the Item Box on Held items

[[File:Johanna Dawn Bag.png|thumb|250px|Johanna giving Dawn a small backpack]]
All of the {{ashfr|main characters}} in {{aniseries|PTS}} own a Bag to store their supplies like a sleeping bag or tent, [[outfits]], and [[Poké Ball]]s. Generally, the main characters' Bags have little to do with their {{pkmn|games|game}} counterparts, with {{an|Dawn}} and {{an|Serena}} taking a backpack rather than the actual Bags used by their game counterparts, and Ash's other companions having no Bags in the games.

Unlike other main characters, {{Ash}} carries his Poké Balls on his belt. Ash's Bag in {{aniseries|DP}} is based on {{ga|Lucas}}'s, but colored green instead. During {{aniseries|SM}}, {{AP|Rowlet}} tends to rest inside Ash's Bag.

{{an|Misty}} used her pull string style Bag to carry her Poké Balls, sleeping bag, [[Fishing Rod]], and a case full of [[Misty's special lure|lures]]. {{TP|Misty|Togepi}} also preferred to travel and sleep inside Misty's Bag. Misty's later appearances during {{aniseries|RS}} show her owning a {{p|Spheal}} Bag.

The seemingly endless capacity of the characters' Bags can be only be described as the result of [[animation physics]]. By far, {{an|Brock}}'s Bag has been shown to be the most spacious, having a full tea-set and table inside in ''[[EP009|The School of Hard Knocks]]'', as well as containing, presumably, everything he needed to cook meals on the road for his friends. Brock also carried the group's medicinal supplies and maps while they traveled through the [[Kanto]], [[Johto]], [[Hoenn]], and [[Sinnoh]] [[region]]s. His Bag was blue, with only the bedroll being removed during ''Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl''.

As a [[Pokémon Watcher]], {{Tracey}} carried around numerous sketchbooks, pencils, and a set of binoculars in his orange Bag.

Both of {{an|May}}'s Bags were based on the ones worn by {{ga|May|her game counterpart}} in [[Generation III]]. Throughout ''Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire'', she wore a {{wp|fanny pack|ket Bag}} that stayed on her waist like a belt. It was used to hold her Poke Balls, [[Pokédex]], [[Contest Pass]], and [[Ribbon]]s. During her brief return from ''[[DP075|Our Cup Runneth Over!]]'' to ''[[DP079|Strategy with a Smile!]]'', May was shown to have two Bags, one a green ket Bag and the other a yellow Bag.

[[Max]] carried around a yellow Bag that held his [[PokéNav]].

It was shown in ''[[DP001|Following A Maiden's Voyage!]]'' that Dawn had planned to take a large suitcase full of various [[Dawn (anime) #Main outfit|clothing and accessories]] with her. However, [[Johanna]] made her leave it at home and gave her a small Bag instead, containing only the items that she would need on her {{pkmn|journey}}.

{{an|Iris}} wore a pink Bag.

{{an|Cilan}} owned a brown Bag, and like Brock, he carried the group's supplies around.

{{an|Serena}} stored her belongings in a pink Bag. Her second Bag had a [[Heal Ball]] design on it.

{{an|Clemont}} stored many of his "[[Clemontic Gear]]" inventions inside his black and white Bag. His younger sister {{an|Bonnie}} wore a yellow satchel-style Bag around her shoulder, which {{TP|Clemont|Dedenne}} and later [[Squishy]] rest in.

{{an|Mallow}}'s schoolbag is based on the [[Forage Bag]].

Both of {{an|Lillie}}'s Bags were based on the ones worn by [[Lillie|her game counterpart]].

[[Goh]] has a brown and black Bag resembling a suitcase. As shown in ''[[JN010|A Test in Paradise!]]'', it has a high capacity to keep his [[Poké Ball]]s.

== Possible design inspirations ==

I've got two theories on the origin of this particular character.

# Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid: she wears a maid costume and uses Dragon types.
# Nell: Nell is a quite well-known fan-created character who works at Hotel Richissime and heavily resembles Lebanne. Did Gamefreak actually steal fan content?

The '''Magnet Train''' (Japanese: '''リニアモーターカー''' ''Maglev Train'', lit. ''Linear Motorcar'', shortened as '''リニア''' ''Linear'')<ref group="lower-alpha">In the Japanese versions of the [[Generation II]] games and their [[Generation IV]] remakes, the term '''リニア''' ''Linear'' is often mentioned by non-player characters.</ref><ref group="lower-alpha">In [[Generation VII]], the term '''リニアカー''' ''Linear Car'' is found in the Japanese versions' game data, but goes unused in normal gameplay. Unused description for the [[Pass]] item found in [[Generation VII]] game data: 「リニアカーに乗るときに必要なチケット。いつでも乗り放題。」</ref> is a {{wp|maglev}} (magnetic levitation) train that [[Transportation in the Pokémon world|runs]] between two cities in different [[region]]s: [[Goldenrod City]] in [[Johto]] and [[Saffron City]] in [[Kanto]]. It allows rapid travel at over 340 miles per hour (over 550 kilometers per hour).

==Stations==
Two cities have a '''Magnet Train Station''' (Japanese: '''リニアモーターカーのえき''' ''Linear Motorcar Station''; '''リニアのえき''' ''Linear Station''; '''リニアステーション''' ''Linear Station''), also known as '''Station''' (Japanese: '''えき''' ''Station''; '''ステーション''' ''Station''):

According to the signs at the front of the train stations, they are known by the following names.

* In [[Generation II]] (with the Saffron City sign displaying a longer name than the Goldenrod City sign):
*: '''Goldenrod City Station''' (Japanese: '''コガネえき''' ''Kogane Station'')
*: '''Saffron City Magnet Train Station''' (Japanese: '''ヤマブキリニアのえき''' ''Yamabuki Linear Station'')
* In [[Generation IV]]:
*: '''Johto–Kanto Magnet Train Line Goldenrod City Station''' (Japanese: '''ジョウトカントー　リニアてつどう　ここは　コガネ　ステーション''' ''Johto–Kanto Linear Train Line: This Is Kogane Station'')
*: '''Kanto–Johto Magnet Train Line Saffron City Station''' (Japanese: '''カントージョウト　リニアてつどう　ここは　ヤマブキ　ステーション''' ''Kanto–Johto Linear Train Line: This Is Yamabuki Station'')

The name "'''Goldenrod Station'''" (without the word "City") is also mentioned in a radio story from [[Generation IV]] games, but the exact name "Saffron Station" is not found anywhere in the English dialogue.
{{-}}

==In the core series games==
[[File:Magnet Train HGSS.png|thumb|The Magnet Train along the track in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}]]
The Magnet Train appears in {{game5|Gold|Silver|Crystal|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}.

===Access requirements===
Initially, the train is out of service because a {{tc|Team Rocket Grunt}} has stolen the [[Machine Part]] from the [[Kanto Power Plant]]. After the {{player}} retrieves the part from the [[Cerulean Gym]] and returns it to the Power Plant, the train is able to run.

The {{player}} requires a [[Pass]] in their [[Bag]] in order to board the train. The {{OBP|Copycat|character}} has a Pass, which she received as compensation for her house in [[Saffron City]] being demolished to make way for the Magnet Train station; she will give it to the player as a reward for returning her [[Lost Item]], a [[Poké Doll]] that {{ga|Red}} gave her three years before.

In [[Generation II]] only, the Japanese name of the Pass (ていきけん ''Season Pass'') refers to a type of train ticket that allows unlimited travel between two stations for a limited period, such as a week or a month.

===Railroad track===
In the games, the train appears to run on a single track between the two cities.

In [[Generation II]], the Magnet Train runs on the railway track along the ground. In [[Generation IV]], the train and its station run along an elevated track, much like a {{wp|monorail}}, though this track goes underground as it approaches Saffron City.

===Additional events===
In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, after the player has {{pkmn2|caught}} {{p|Zapdos}} at the Power Plant and obtained [[Lt. Surge]]'s phone number, he appears at the Saffron City Magnet Train station, where he offers to trade the player his {{p|Pikachu}}, Volty, in exchange for another Pikachu.

==In animation==
[[File:Magnet Train anime.png|thumb|250px|The incomplete Magnet Train station in {{aniseries|GS}}]]
===''Pokémon the Series''===
===={{aniseries|GS}}====
In ''[[EP158|A Goldenrod Opportunity]]'', {{TRT}} arrived at the Magnet Train station in [[Goldenrod City]] in an attempt to escape from {{Ash}}, {{ashfr}}, and [[Whitney]] after they had stolen Whitney's {{p|Clefairy}}, only to learn that the train wouldn't be completed for another year. They ended up returning Clefairy and swiping {{AP|Pikachu}}, but Clefairy helped Pikachu to escape, and he used {{m|Thunderbolt}} on the trio's handcar, overloading it and sending them speeding off along the track. In the [[EP159|next episode]], their ride was revealed to have ended in a brick wall in [[Saffron City]], forcing them to walk back to [[Johto]].

===={{aniseries|BW}}====
The Magnet Train was mentioned again in ''[[BW141|Best Wishes Until We Meet Again!]]'', where {{an|Iris}} and {{an|Cilan}} made plans to travel from Saffron City by taking the Magnet Train line to Goldenrod City. This suggests the Magnet Train was finally completed.

==In the manga==
[[File:Magnet Train PM.png|thumb|200px|The Magnet Train in [[Pokémon Pocket Monsters]]]]
[[File:Magnet Train Adventures.png|thumb|200px|left|The Magnet Train in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
===Pokémon Adventures===
===={{MangaArc|Gold, Silver & Crystal}}====
The Magnet Train appeared in ''[[PS154|Yikes, It's Yanma!]]'', where it was used to transport the [[Gym Leader]]s of both the Kanto and Johto regions to the [[Indigo Plateau]] for the tournament held there, the event being its maiden voyage. The Magnet Train line was routed through the Indigo Plateau for the event. When [[Neo Team Rocket]] attacked the Indigo Plateau, they took control of the Magnet Train and stationed {{tc|Team Rocket Grunt}}s inside. They tricked the Gym Leaders into boarding the train, which then departed, leaving the Indigo Plateau wide open for an attack by the [[Masked Man]]'s {{p|Ho-Oh}} and {{p|Lugia}}. Sometime later, in ''[[PS169|The Last Battle III]]'', it took [[Brock's Geodude]] and {{adv|Red}}'s [[Snor]]'s combined efforts to stop the train when it became out-of-control and couldn't be stopped normally.

===Pokémon Pocket Monsters===
The Magnet Train appeared in ''[[PM104|The Great Helper!]]''.

==Trivia==
[[File:Magnet Train GSC.png|thumb|190px|The Magnet Train station in {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}]]
* The Magnet Train is most likely based on the {{wp|Tōkaidō Shinkansen}} bullet train that runs from {{wp|Tokyo}} to {{wp|Osaka}}. Tokyo and Osaka are Saffron City and Goldenrod City's respective real-world counterparts.
** The Tōkaidō Shinkansen is powered by an electrical {{wp|overhead line}}, while the Magnet Train is a maglev, propelled by a moving magnetic field.
** Maglev trains had been experimented with prior to the release of {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}, but no large scale application of the technology occurred until later. In 2015, construction began for the {{wp|Chūō Shinkansen}} maglev line between the same two cities.
* In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, the Magnet Train's tracks are visible on {{rt|32|Johto}}, traveling overhead. However, the tracks are not visible on any [[route]] in [[Kanto]], nor on [[Route]]s {{rtn|30|Johto}} or {{rtn|46|Johto}}. Since the station at Saffron City is located underground, it can be assumed that a major part of the track east of Route 32 runs underground.
* One of the {{DL|Pokégear|radio|programs}} on the [[Pokégear]] mentions rumors about a ghost Magnet Train.
* In {{g|X and Y}}, a {{tc|Lass}} in {{DL|North Boulevard|Lumiose Station}} states that the {{pkmn|world}}'s fastest train can travel at 310 miles per hour (500 kilometers per hour), despite the Magnet Train being able to reach speeds of over 340 miles per hour (over 550 kilometers per hour).

::::::But Gordie is still in the image. And as far as we know, Gordie could be just tall and the sister short, is not that absurd.

:::::::::::1. I don't believe I ever brought up her height, but if you want to go that angle... the problem is that she is visibly younger than Gordie as well, not simply in terms of height. Be honest, if the "eldest sister" line was not present, would your first impression have been that she is older than Gordie?
:::::::::::2. You keep stressing the "eldest sister" angle, despite it having already being stated several times that it can easily refer to an only daughter that also has an older brother. Additionally, as I must stress once again, the text omits Gordie and only mentions the other 3 brothers, so this would still be shaky grounds to claim that she's older than him specifically. [[User:PokemonMasterJamal3|PokemonMasterJamal3]] ([[User talk:PokemonMasterJamal3|talk]]) 09:23, 10 October 2022 (UTC)
::::::::::::Becuase point 5 is refering to the twins. I don't see why we should exclude Gordie... he is literally pictured there. For the age, is not like Pokémon had people that don't look like they actual age. Like Cyrus being 27 years old despite look way older or Lusamine that look way younger. So, both height and appearence is not a proof. I would assume she was younger then Gordie if wasn't for the text? Yhea, totally, but the text is there. Saying what someone would assume based on appearence is not a proof. Exemple, saying what people would assume what Alolan Exeggutor's type would be don't change the fact that is Dragon. And I don't get why we must be totally sure the text are omitting Gordie despite him being pictured there. What you expected the text would say? "point 6-Gordie"? Thanks concept art, I know who is Gordie. Here I see just assumption of her being younger based literally on nothing, no one posted a single proof of source that state she is younger then Gordie, but just say "but the concept art is excluding Gordie" despite him being literally there.--[[User:Zarxiel94|Zarxiel94]] ([[User talk:Zarxiel94|talk]]) 09:53, 10 October 2022 (UTC)
"Becuase point 5 is refering to the twins. I don't see why we should exclude Gordie... he is literally pictured there."

It doesn't say anything about them being twins, and it also says "Three sons". You're now stating that it's about things that aren't even mentioned in the text.

"For the age, is not like Pokémon had people that don't look like they actual age. Like Cyrus being 27 years old despite look way older or Lusamine that look way younger. So, both height and appearence is not a proof. I would assume she was younger then Gordie if wasn't for the text? Yhea, totally, but the text is there. Saying what someone would assume based on appearence is not a proof."

I knew you would use this as a counterargument. Obviously age is not always reflective of appearance, but it's still a good starting point. We can easily see that the brothers are younger than Gordie despite it not being explicitly stated. The sister is obviously a slightly more extreme example, but as you just admitted yourself, you would've assumed that she is younger than Gordie as well if not for the text. As for the text itself, it must once again be reiterated that the term "長女" can be used to describe the eldest daughter in a family, even if she is the only daughter and also has an older brother. I already stated earlier that I would be okay with changing it to simply "unnamed sister", but the entire crux of your argument that she is older than Gordie is based on a flawed premise.

"Exemple, saying what people would assume what Alolan Exeggutor's type would be don't change the fact that is Dragon."

We're talking about humans, not Pokémon.

"And I don't get why we must be totally sure the text are omitting Gordie despite him being pictured there. What you expected the text would say? "point 6-Gordie"? Thanks concept art, I know who is Gordie.

The text '''''is''''' omitting him. Once again, if the text was at all talking about Gordie, it would obviously either say "4 sons" or, as you stated, simply mention him by himself.

"Here I see just assumption of her being younger based literally on nothing, no one posted a single proof of source that state she is younger then Gordie, but just say "but the concept art is excluding Gordie" despite him being literally there.

Why are you claiming that I said things I never did? I said Gordie was excluded from the '''text''' of the concept art (which is true), not the '''picture'''. It is simply a fact that he is not mentioned in the text, despite being present in the picture. I also never definitively stated that she is younger than Gordie; I simply stated that she is clearly visibly younger than him appearance-wise (which you even agreed with, so I'm confused on why you're saying it's "based on nothing"). The point is simply that you're basing it off text that isn't even explicitly saying she's older than Gordie.

:I said "twins" just to make it easy to identify them, if they are or not is not relevant for what we are talking about.
:How you said 'CAN be' not 'it ONLY be', that mean that what I'm saying can still be true. I would be fine to a simple "unnamed sister" actually, because that "younger" is pure speculation.
:Becuase Gordie is his own character, why the text would say something about him when he have his own concept art? And if they want to omit him, why depict him? The point 5 said "three sons" refering to the 'apparent' twins (again, I call them in that way just to identify them easier) and for confirm their gender, while Gordie's gender is already confirmed.
:Becuase appearence is not a proof, Pokémon already showed characters appearence and actual age could be extremly different.--[[User:Zarxiel94|Zarxiel94]] ([[User talk:Zarxiel94|talk]]) 11:02, 10 October 2022 (UTC)
::"How you said 'CAN be' not 'it ONLY be', that mean that what I'm saying can still be true. I would be fine to a simple "unnamed sister" actually, because that "younger" is pure speculation."
::I am fine with changing it to "unnamed sister", but claiming that she's the eldest child based on Japanese text that is in the context of her simply being the eldest daughter (which, again, would still be true regardless of Gordie's age) is no less speculation, which is the main point I'm arguing here.
::"Becuase Gordie is his own character, why the text would say something about him when he have his own concept art?"
::Regardless of him being his own character, he's still one of Melony's sons. Even as just as an offhand mention, it wouldn't be difficult or out of place to simply say she has 4 sons as a generic statement. It would still confirm the genders of the other children not named Gordie.
::"Becuase appearence is not a proof, Pokémon already showed characters appearence and actual age could be extremly different."
::Yeah, but the entire idea of his sister being older than him is based on misinterpreting the Japanese text. It simply said that she's the eldest sister and it is often used regardless of the ages of her brothers or even if she has any other sisters. [[User:PokemonMasterJamal3|PokemonMasterJamal3]] ([[User talk:PokemonMasterJamal3|talk]]) 11:43, 10 October 2022 (UTC)
:::But I think everyone can agree at this point that not only there is no confirmation about who is the oldest and we don't know 100% sure if the concept are is refering to the daughter to be the oldest of all the siblings or just the oldest of daughter. So a simple "unnamed sister" would be more correct--[[User:Zarxiel94|Zarxiel94]] ([[User talk:Zarxiel94|talk]]) 12:38, 10 October 2022 (UTC)

== Variable scoring ~> Lyrics ==
Is there any source (at best an official like from a booklet, if there was/is any, of the Black&White CD) for the (Japanese) lyrics here at bp (bulbapedia)? 
Instead of
:俺はね鴎に惚れた黄昏親父。
other internet search results would be:
:[俺はね鴎/俺はネ　カモメ]に惚れた[　/_][たそがれオヤジ/黄昏オヤジ/黄昏親父][/。]
:(where "[A/B]" means that it's either A or B, but A and B result in the same Romaji and "_" is staying for "line break")
so it's like:
:俺はネ　カモメに惚れた　_ たそがれオヤジ
:俺はね鴎に惚れた　黄昏親父。
:俺はネ　カモメに惚れた　_ 黄昏オヤジ。
Then for the second part, there are two ways of Romaji (and thus (at least) two ways of Japanese):
:Aoi umi o nagamete wa naki _ Aoi minato wa kamome koishikute - 青い海を追っかけている、 _ 青い海をは鴎おかしくて。
:Aoi umi o nagamete wa namida, _ Aoi minato wa kamome tobi satsu te. - 青い海を　眺めては　涙、 _ 青い港は　カモメ　飛び去って。
E.g. pw (Pokéwiki, German Pokémon wiki) - which of course is like bp not a serious source and not without errors - only has Romaji but the other non-bp variant.

I think the Japanese fan interpretation "飛び去って" should be changed to "恋しくて" (koishikute). "飛び去って" means "to fly away", while "恋しくて" means "to yearn for something/someone". "飛び去って" is probably the interpretation which spread out first, but fancover seems applying "恋しくて" more than "飛び去って".([http://www.animelyrics.com/game/pokemonbw/tasogareoyaji.htm] [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fP6ImthZF9E]).

'''Opelucid City''' (Japanese: '''ソウリュウシティ''' ''Soryu City'') is a city located in northern [[Unova]]. The look of the city differs between versions; in [[Pokémon Black and White Versions|Black]] and [[Pokémon Black and White Versions 2|Black 2]], the city has a futuristic, technological appearance, while in [[Pokémon Black and White Versions|White]] and [[Pokémon Black and White Versions 2|White 2]], it has a traditional, more natural appearance. This is also reflected by the city's background music in each respective version.

During the storyline of Black 2 and White 2, the city is frozen by the [[Plasma Frigate]], blocking the entrances to all buildings except the [[Pokémon Center]], [[Gym]], and [[Drayden]]'s house. During the end credits, the ice is shown to be thawing. It is implied that, after the events of Black and White, a landslide on the old {{OBP|Victory Road|Black and White}} occurred, and, as a safety precaution, the exit to {{rt|10|Unova}} was sealed off. Thus, Route 10 no longer exists in Black 2 and White 2, nor does the [[gate]] that used to lead to it, having been demolished.

==Slogan==
'''''Time's Dividing Line''''' (Japanese: '''{{j|過去と未来が絡みあう街}}''' ''The city where past and future intertwine.'')

==Places of interest==
===Opelucid Gym===
{{main|Opelucid Gym}}
Opelucid City is host to the final [[Gym]] Trainers challenge on their journey through Unova. The Gym Leader faced depends on the game [[core series|version]]. In Pokémon Black, the {{player}} will battle [[Drayden]]; in Pokémon White the player will battle [[Iris]]. They both specialize in {{type|Dragon}}s. In Black 2 and White 2, Drayden is the sole Gym Leader due to Iris having replaced [[Alder]] as the [[Unova League]] {{pkmn|Champion}}.

===Drayden's House===
{|
|-
|{{sign|bwbuilding|Drayden's House| }}
|}

Drayden's house is located at the center of the city, northwest of the [[Pokémon Center]]. In Black and White, the player first visits it to hear Drayden and Iris tell them the legend of {{p|Zekrom}} and {{p|Reshiram}}, after which Drayden{{sup/5|B}}/Iris{{sup/5|W}} heads to the Gym to await the player's challenge, while the other one stays in the house. In Black 2 and White 2, the player visits the house after earning the {{badge|Legend}} to hear about the legend of {{p|Kyurem}} from Drayden. After the story, the city is attacked and frozen over by [[Team Plasma]].

After defeating the [[Pokémon_League_(Unova)|Pokémon League]], the player can also have Drayden{{sup/5|W}}{{sup/5|B2W2}}/Iris{{sup/5|B}} [[Move Tutor|teach]] their Dragon-type Pokémon {{m|Draco Meteor}} here, but only if said Pokémon has a high enough [[friendship]].

===Battle House===

|{{sign|bwbuilding|Battle House|Rotation Battle!{{sup/5|Bl}}}}
|{{sign|bwbuilding|Battle House|Triple Battle!{{sup/5|W}}}}
|{{sign|bwbuilding|Formerly the Battle House...| }}
|}

The Battle House, located west of the northern entrance, is a building where the player can battle two {{tc|Ace Trainer}}s in [[Rotation Battle]]s in Black, and [[Triple Battle]]s in White. Unlike most Trainers in Black and White, these Trainers can be [[rematch]]ed, and will battle the player once per day.

In {{2v2|Black|White|2}}, the Battle House has been closed down due to the Trainers leaving for the [[Pokémon World Tournament]] to test their skills. Despite this, neither of the Trainers present in the Battle House in Black and White appear at the Pokémon World Tournament in Black 2 and White 2.

===Opelucid Gate (Route 10 exit)===
[[File:Unova Route 10 B2W2 closed.png|200px|thumb|The northern exit as it appears in Pokémon Black 2]]
The northern exit of the city differs between the two sets of games. In {{2v2|Black|White}} it exits to {{rt|10|Unova}}, but in {{2v2|Black|White|2}}, this northern exit has been sealed off due to the collapse of the old {{OBP|Victory Road|Black and White}}, making Route 10 completely inaccessible in these games.
{{-}}

==Demographics==
===Pokémon Black and White===
Opelucid City has a population of 46.

===Pokémon Black 2 and White 2===
Opelucid City has a population of 45.

==Variable scoring==
In Black and Black 2, a synth track will be added to the background theme if the player is near a {{wp|keytar}} player performing immediately west of the Pokémon Center. In White and White 2, an {{wp|erhu}} player stands in the same place and will add an erhu track.

There is a {{DL|List of overworld glitches in Generation V|Variable scoring oversight|minor glitch}} that can allow these tracks to stay permanently on/off regardless of the player's position.

[[File:Opelucid City anime.png|thumb|250px|Opelucid City in {{aniseries|JN}}]]
Opelucid City is home to Opelucid Academy, a prestigious academy located near the [[Opelucid Gym]]. {{an|Iris}} was a former student at the academy. During her return visit to the city along with her friends, she was reunited here with her former dorm adviser [[Martha]] for a short period of time. [[Drayden]] is the Academy President of Opelucid Academy, personally handpicking the students to study at the academy. Opelucid City also appears to have a radio tower that towers over the city.

===={{aniseries|BW}}====
Opelucid City was first mentioned in ''[[BW079|Caution: Icy Battle Conditions!]]'', when [[Brycen]] suggested that {{Ash}} should challenge the [[Gym]] there, much to the concern of Iris. However, in the [[BW080|next episode]], Ash was informed that the Opelucid Gym was closed at the time, so he decided to head to the [[Virbank Gym]] instead, upon learning of its existence.

The city was mentioned again in ''[[BW098|Beauties Battling for Pride and Prestige!]]'', when [[Jervis]] recommended Ash and {{ashfr}} to travel through Opelucid City on their way to [[Vertress City]].

Opelucid City made its first proper appearance in ''[[BW101|Drayden Versus Iris: Past, Present, and Future!]]'', where Ash and his friends arrived there for a battle Drayden had [[BW100|promised]] to have with Iris at the Opelucid Gym. Although Iris lost the battle, it was later revealed that Drayden was considering to make her the next Gym Leader of the Opelucid Gym.

===={{aniseries|JN}}====
Ash revisited Opelucid City in ''[[JN065|Thrash of the Titans!]]'', accompanied by [[Goh]], after receiving an invite from Iris for a [[World Coronation Series]] battle at the Opelucid Gym. At the Gym, Ash was surprised to learn that Iris had become the [[Unova League]] {{pkmn|Champion}}, but he still managed to defeat her after a tough battle. Whilst in Opelucid City, Goh {{pkmn2|caught}} a {{p|Pansear}} and a {{TP|Goh|Panpour}}.

The city made a cameo appearance in ''[[JN129|A Flood of Torrential Gains!]]'' while Iris watched Ash's [[Masters Eight Tournament]] match against {{an|Leon}}.

===={{MangaArc|Black & White}}====
Opelucid City first appeared in ''[[PS497|Finding Truth]]'', where [[Brycen]] contacted [[Drayden]] after [[Team Plasma]] had stolen the [[Dark Stone]] in [[Nacrene City]], discussing the possibility of entrusting the [[Light Stone]] to {{adv|Black}}.

In ''[[PS504|The Cold Hard Truth]]'' and ''[[PS505|A Cold Reception]]'', Drayden held a press conference in front of [[Opelucid Gym|his Gym]], revealing that the date of the {{un|Pokémon League}} tournament had been pushed up from three months to one week.

==Trivia==
* The city is similar to [[Blackthorn City]] in that they are both host to a {{type|Dragon}} Gym, that Gym is the eighth Gym of the region at some point, that they both have the effort value checker and a Move Tutor for {{m|Draco Meteor}}, and that they are both located in the northern part of their respective regions.
* This is the second city in Pokémon Black and White where the [[Gym Leader]] varies, though not in the same way as the [[Striaton Gym]].
* In Black 2 and White 2, if the player does not get the [[Ring Target]] or the [[Float Stone]] from the people in Drayden's house before Team Plasma freezes the city, they will only talk about how concerned they are for the city. Should this be the case, they will give the player the items after entering the [[Hall of Fame]].
* In Black 2 and White 2, if the player does not collect the [[Max Potion]] from {{rt|11|Unova}} and uses the [[Dowsing Machine]] by the city's eastern exit, it will reveal the presence of a hidden item. This disappears once the Max Potion is collected.
* In {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}, Opelucid City is mentioned to be the hometown of Drayden's grandson, [[Drayton]].

'''Serena''' (Japanese: '''セレナ''' ''Serena'') is a [[Pokémon Performer]] and a former {{ashfr|traveling companion}} of {{Ash}}, who debuted in ''[[XY001|Kalos, Where Dreams and Adventures Begin!]]''. Her [[List of characters' first Pokémon|first Pokémon]] was a {{TP|Serena|Fennekin}} that she received from {{an|Professor Sycamore}}.

She is a rising [[Pokémon Performer]] who aspires to become the {{DL|Pokémon Performer|Kalos Queen}}. In ''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]'', she is revealed to have become a successful [[Pokémon Coordinator]] as well.

==In animation==
===History===
====Pre-series====
[[File:Young Serena.png|thumb|left|250px|Young Serena]]
Serena grew up in [[Vaniville Town]] in the [[Kalos]] region with her mother, {{kal|Grace}}. During her childhood, Serena was taught about {{p|Rhyhorn}} racing by her mother, who was a famous Rhyhorn racer, and to know how to handle the {{pkmn|category|Spikes Pokémon}}. Serena also practiced riding {{p|Skiddo}}, but she got scared during one of her practices and hugged her mother for comfort.

Sometime later, Serena was sent to [[Kanto]] against her will to attend a [[Pokémon Summer Camp]], which was hosted by {{an|Professor Oak}}. One day while at the camp, she got lost in a nearby forest and was startled by a {{p|Poliwag}}, falling over and hurting her knee. She then met [[Ash Ketchum]], who was looking for the same Poliwag, and spotted Serena. Noticing her knee injury, he pulled out a handkerchief and wrapped it around her wounded knee, saying that it was a good-luck charm and that the pain would go away. However, when Serena's knee continued to hurt, Ash told her "Don't give up till it's over" and helped her up, before escorting her out of the forest. Afterward, she returned to Kalos, bringing along the handkerchief and the memory of her meeting with Ash.

===={{aniseries|XY}}====
[[File:Ash and friends XY.png|thumb|250px|Serena, Ash, Clemont, and Bonnie]]
Serena debuted in ''[[XY001|Kalos, Where Dreams and Adventures Begin!]]'', where she was forcibly woken up by her mother's {{p|Fletchling}}. In ''[[XY002|Lumiose City Pursuit!]]'', she attempted to practice Rhyhorn racing after being encouraged by her mother. However, Serena's attempts at controlling her mother's Rhyhorn ended with her being sent crashing into the ground.

Later that evening, Serena complained about her earlier practice leaving several scratches on her face. She sat down to watch a news report on an incident that was occurring in [[Lumiose City]]. On the screen, she saw Ash trying to calm down a rampaging {{p|Garchomp}} at Prism Tower and recognized Ash as a boy she had known in her childhood. The next day, while feeding Rhyhorn, Serena thought aloud that something interesting was going to happen and that it involved Ash.

Serena began her [[Pokémon journey]] in ''[[XY003|A Battle of Aerial Mobility!]]'' when she set off to {{an|Professor Sycamore}}'s lab in Lumiose City. Immediately upon arriving, Serena questioned the Professor about the boy on television and he confirmed that it was indeed Ash Ketchum. However, to Serena's disappointment, Ash had already left Lumiose City for the [[Santalune City]] [[Santalune Gym|Gym]] the previous day. Serena was then offered to choose her [[first partner Pokémon]].

In ''[[XY004|A Shockingly Cheeky Friendship!]]'', Serena chose {{TP|Serena|Fennekin}}, received a [[Pokédex]], and started her journey. Later that day, she continued to travel with Fennekin but didn't want to camp out for the night after seeing some wild {{p|Venipede}}. She was attacked by a wild {{p|Vespiquen}} that she mistook for a person, only for Fennekin to scare Vespiquen away. Afterward, Serena met a [[Nurse Joy]], who told her where to find the nearest Pokémon Center.

In ''[[XY005|A Blustery Santalune Gym Battle!]]'', she finally reached Santalune City and found Ash during his [[Gym]] battle with [[Viola]]. She introduced herself to him, {{an|Clemont}}, and {{an|Bonnie}}, after returning his backpack when it was left behind at the Gym. At the end of the episode, she asks Ash if he remembers her, at which point the episode abruptly ends.

In ''[[XY006|Battling on Thin Ice!]]'', she revealed that the two of them met at the Pokémon Summer Camp when they were younger. Although Ash remembered the camp, he didn't specifically remember meeting Serena, much to her disappointment. Serena quickly regained her composure and reminded him that he once told her to never give up. Hearing these words helped Ash continue his training to win the rematch against Viola. During the rematch, Ash was visibly becoming overwhelmed by Viola's battling strategy, but Serena yelled at him to never give up. The inspiration that he had once given Serena was now being given to him, and these words encouraged him to continue the battle. At the end of the episode, after winning the Bug Badge, Ash asked Serena what her plans for the future were.

Serena officially began traveling with Ash and his friends in ''[[XY007|Giving Chase at the Rhyhorn Race!]]''. This was when Serena revealed why she began her journey in the first place. After seeing Ash on TV, she decided that she would begin a Pokémon journey to return the handkerchief he used to mend her knee injury. After she returned the handkerchief, Ash remembered their encounter and called her the "girl with the straw hat".

Later on, Serena helped teach Ash how to ride and race on a Rhyhorn when he expressed an interest in Rhyhorn racing. While doing so, Serena's opinion on Rhyhorn and Rhyhorn riding quickly changed when the Rhyhorn were very friendly towards her. Later, while she was helping Ash learn to ride, she called out similar words Serena's mother had yelled to her during her Rhyhorn riding lessons at home. At that moment, Serena realized that she had misjudged the sport of Rhyhorn racing and that perhaps she did not hate it as much as she thought. Serena expressed in the same episode that she did not dislike Rhyhorn racing but that she wanted to find a goal that she liked even more.

The next day, Ash was captured by {{TRT}} and Serena had to help rescue him. This was when Serena had her first Pokémon battle, commanding Fennekin to use {{m|Ember}} on the criminals. At the end of the episode, she gave Ash a pouch of cookies, saying it was her way of thanking him for all he had done for her.

In ''[[XY009|Clemont's Got a Secret!]]'', Serena learned from Clemont's father, [[Meyer]], that Clemont is the Lumiose City [[Gym Leader]]. Although initially angry with Clemont for keeping this secret from her along with Ash, she helped take back the [[Gym]] from the malfunctioning [[Clembot]]. She battled [[Clemont's Magneton]] with her Fennekin, but it managed to avoid Fennekin's attack, forcing {{AP|Pikachu}} and {{AP|Froakie}} to step in and defeat it. Later, she watched Clemont battle and defeat Clembot for the control of the [[Lumiose Gym]].

[[File:Miette and Serena.png|thumb|220px|Serena and Miette]]
In ''[[XY021|A Pokévision of Things to Come!]]'', Serena decided to make a [[Pokévision]] video. After watching some sample Pokévision videos in the Pokémon Center, Serena decided to make one of her own with her Fennekin. She rented a camera and began filming with Fennekin. The two of them dressed up in multiple outfits and the video featured them posing and baking together. However, during the filming of the video, Fennekin was captured by Team Rocket. Serena was able to rescue Fennekin, and in the process she remembered all that they had been through together. Her feelings of [[friendship]] were conveyed to her Pokémon, and Fennekin was able to learn {{m|Flamethrower}} in the battle against Team Rocket. After this event, Serena was able to finish her filming and was proud of her final product.

In ''[[XY026|A Battle by Any Other Name!]]'', Serena participated in the [[Poké Puff Contest]], but she did not emerge victorious. Before the event, she met another competitor named [[Miette]]. The two of them compared their [[Poké Puff]]s to see whose were superior, which led to a spark of rivalry between them. After comparing the two Poké Puffs, the group realized that Serena's Poké Puffs were more suited for [[human]]'s tastes than Pokémon's. This was part of the reason that Serena was not able to win the Poké Puff competition.

Serena had her first official Pokémon battle in ''[[XY039|Summer of Discovery!]]'' against {{an|Shauna}}. Shauna and her friends, {{an|Tierno}} and {{an|Trevor}}, had seen the Pokévision video that Serena filmed in Lumiose City and recognized her from it. Serena accepted Shauna's challenge, and alongside Fennekin she faced off against Shauna and her {{p|Bulbasaur}}. Despite having a type advantage, Serena was unable to win. Serena talked with Shauna throughout the episode and learned that Shauna was aiming to be someone who could put on performances with Pokémon. Her conversations with Shauna were a catalyst in helping her realize that she was the only one of her friends who didn't have a set goal. At the end of the episode, Serena sat alone brushing Fennekin's tail and wondering what her dream was.

In ''[[XY040|Day Three Blockbusters!]]'', Shauna informed Serena about [[Pokémon Showcase]]s and told her that she was planning on becoming a [[Pokémon Performer]], and this inspired Serena to become one as well. In ''[[XY047|Dreaming a Performer's Dream!]]'', Serena witnessed her first Pokémon Showcase. She saw an exhibition performance by {{an|Aria}}, the current Kalos Queen, and also saw a {{pkmn2|wild}} {{p|Pancham}} interrupt a contestant's performance on stage. Later, outside, that same Pancham stole Ash and Clemont's belongings. Serena managed to track Pancham down and saw that he was performing with no one around. This made her realize that Pancham loved performing and simply wanted to show that to everyone. With this in mind she announced to her friends she wanted to {{pkmn2|caught|catch}} it. Battling with Fennekin, she managed to weaken and successfully catch it. After that, Serena gave Pancham a pair of her favorite sunglasses.

In ''[[XY053|A Race for Home!]]'', she met up with her mother, but at first didn't dare to tell her about her intention to be a Performer. Later, Serena finally told her mother about her dream and challenged her to a Rhyhorn race to prove her determination under the condition that if she lost she would go back home and train to become a Rhyhorn racer. However, her mother suggested that they race on {{p|Skiddo}}, knowing that Skiddo could sense the rider's feelings. Serena managed to beat her mother in the race when the Skiddo she was riding sensed her determination, and thus her mother gave her permission to become a Pokémon Performer.

In ''[[XY059|Under the Pledging Tree!]]'', after helping her friends thwart Team Rocket's plot to crash the Pledging Tree festival and returning the stolen presents to their rightful owners, Serena gave a ribbon to Fennekin and new sunglasses to {{TP|Serena|Pancham}} in honor of the event. The group then found a present not addressed to a Pokémon but to Serena herself. The present was a new dress for the upcoming Coumarine Showcase from her mother, left under the care of Nurse Joy. At the end of the episode, Ash gave Serena the blue ribbon he had won in a giveaway from the Coumarine Monorail staff.

[[File:Serena Showcase debut.png|thumb|left|220px|Serena's Showcase debut]]
In ''[[XY060|A Showcase Debut!]]'', she made her debut as a Pokémon Performer in the [[Coumarine City]] [[Pokémon Showcase]] Rookie Class, along with Shauna and Jessie. However, during the Theme Performance, Fennekin tripped over a bow that Serena had decorated her with. This eliminated her from the competition, and she watched as Shauna went on to win the Showcase. Although Serena acted like she took the loss well, in private she was very upset. Early the next morning, she walked out to a pier with Fennekin and Pancham, finally releasing her bottled up feelings and began to cry inconsolably. Having comfort and reassurance from her two partners, she drew scissors from her [[Bag|backpack]] and cut her hair to her shoulders after a reflection on her journey so far. Later, she donned a new outfit, featuring the ribbon she received from Ash, to signify her resolve.

After this, Serena continued to practice for her next Pokémon Showcase. However, in ''[[XY064|Battling with Elegance and a Big Smile!]]'', one of these training sessions went wrong when Serena ended up yelling at Fennekin and Pancham after they were fighting, leading to Fennekin accidentally hitting Serena with Flamethrower. Realizing what she had done and feeling useless as a Performer, Serena ran off in shame. She was later approached by a {{an|Aria|young woman calling herself Ariana}} and the two spent the rest of the day shopping together. During this time, Ariana learned what Serena had been through and encouraged her to make up with her Pokémon and remember the close bond they had, which Serena did later that evening. The two girls later had a [[Double Battle]], during which Fennekin evolved into Braixen, but the match was called off after Ariana was forced to leave when she got a call. The next day, Serena discovered that "Ariana" was in fact Aria all along (having previously felt she looked familiar) and secretly thanked her for all her help.

In ''[[XY080|Performing with Fiery Charm!]]'', Serena participated in her second Pokémon Showcase, competing against Miette and a disguised Jessie. She passed through the first round, the Poké Puff Baking competition, with flying colors. However, prior to her Freestyle Performance, Jessie bumped into her, ripping her dress. Thanks to the never-give-up attitude she learned from Ash, as well as her own quick thinking and skill at tailoring, Serena was able to modify the dress just before she was called up. During the second round, she delivered a performance that left the audience very impressed. As a result, she was the most voted Performer, winning the competition and receiving her first {{DL|Pokémon Showcase|Princess Key}} despite the anxiety she still felt from her debut performance.

After arriving in [[Anistar City]] in ''[[XY091|A Performance Pop Quiz!]]'', Serena participated in her third Pokémon Showcase. In the Theme Performance, she was able to beat Nini and {{kal|Lily}} in the Pokémon Quiz segment, earning her a spot in the Freestyle Performance. However, before she could go on stage, her {{TP|Serena|Eevee}} went missing after being scared by the performance Jessie had delivered and Serena left to find her, almost missing her performance in the process. After reuniting with Eevee and receiving her support, Serena gave her performance using choreography based on Eevee's dancing, which earned her enough votes to win the Showcase and obtain her second Princess Key.

In ''[[XY101|A Dancing Debut!]]'', Serena participated in her fourth Pokémon Showcase. During the Theme Performance, she and her Pancham were able to bake a Poké Puff while entertaining the audience in the process. Thanks to their performance, Serena received enough votes to advance to the Freestyle Performance. In the Freestyle Performance, Serena used her Braixen and Eevee. Everything was going smoothly until Eevee got distracted by the crowd and fell to the ground. Eevee was discouraged until Serena motivated her to keep on dancing. Serena and her Pokémon finished their performance without any more problems, but Eevee's mishap caused Serena to lose the Showcase. Later, Serena comforted Eevee and assured her they would do better next time.

In ''[[XY105|Party Dancecapades!]]'', Serena and Eevee attended a dance party hosted by [[Monsieur Pierre]] with Clemont and Bunnelby as their partners. She was upset, because she couldn't dance with Ash. Later when she battled alongside Ash against Miette and James, her Eevee evolved into Sylveon.

In ''[[XY109|Master Class Choices!]]'', Serena entered the {{ci|Fleurrh}} Showcase Rookie Class in hopes of winning her third and final Princess Key. In the Theme Performance, in which Performers had to lure as many Rhyhorn as possible to their part of the field before time ran out, Serena easily defeated [[Concetta]] and [[Kazalie]] and advanced to the Freestyle Performance. There, she performed with Braixen, Pancham, and Sylveon. Their performance was well received by the audience and she was the most voted Performer of the round. As a result, she was declared the winner of the event, receiving the Fleurrh City Princess Key and qualifying for the Master Class.

[[File:Serena Master Class.png|thumb|250px|Serena in the Master Class]]
Serena entered the {{ci|Gloire}} Showcase Master Class in ''[[XY112|Master Class is in Session!]]'' where she met up with all of her [[rival]]s. In the first round, she was grouped with [[Miette]] and [[Sara Lee]]. Her performance received the highest number of votes and she quickly made her way to the semifinals of the competition, where she found herself up against {{an|Shauna}} and [[Jessie|Jessilee]]. In [[XY113|the following episode]], she tried a risky move and ended up bruising her wrist. She was about to fall but Sylveon helped Serena using her feelers, saving the performance. She was the most voted Performer of the round and as such was allowed to move on to the finals, where she faced the reigning {{DL|Pokémon Performer|Kalos Queen}} {{an|Aria}}. Despite her best efforts, Serena couldn't defeat Aria, who retained her title. After that, Serena was approached by Palermo who invited her to become her protégé so she could become a better performer and have a chance at becoming the next Kalos Queen. Serena, however, declined the offer, telling Palermo that her journey with her friends has helped her develop, and until she finishes she can't go with Palermo. Palermo told Serena to call her after she finishes her journey and gives Serena her business card before leaving off.

In ''[[XY115|Battling at Full Volume!]]'', Serena decided to pose as Ash who had gotten a cold from training with Greninja and Pikachu, to face off against an eccentric {{tc|guitarist}} named [[Jimmy (XY115)|Jimmy]] with Ash's Pikachu against his Pikachu, Spike. Her disguise pulls through and they ended up battling well against each other before almost getting exposed by Clemont and Bonnie. As she continued the battle, Pikachu and Spike were captured by Team Rocket, by which Jessie managed to see through her disguise to her dismay. Upon Ash's recovery, she discarded her disguise and commanded her Pokémon to simultaneously attack Team Rocket, who were eventually sent blasting off by Pikachu and Spike in the end. She apologized to Jimmy for deceiving him and invited him to join her and the others for lunch.

In ''[[XY121|Seeing the Forest for the Trees!]]'', Serena became concerned about Ash when he became depressed after his defeat in a Gym battle with [[Wulfric]]. When he ran off into the woods, she chased after him on her own. Serena found Ash in the middle of the woods, still despondent over his defeat. She began to talk with Ash, telling him she was helped by the advice he gave her when they were young during their journey together, and also while she was training for her Showcases. However, the agitated Ash yelled at her, causing Serena to become angry at him for not acting like himself. In response, she threw a few snowballs at Ash before leaving. When it began to snow, Serena grew concerned about Ash again and led the others to find him. Meanwhile, Ash reflected on his actions and Serena's words. Later in the episode, Ash apologized to Serena for yelling at her and also told her that he was able to "figure things out" thanks to her words of encouragement.

In ''[[XY132|A Towering Takeover!]]'', she helped destroy some of the giant roots that were attacking Lumiose City, which [[Z2]] was causing. In [[XY133|the following episode]], she spearheaded a mission to rescue [[Chespie]] from [[Lysandre Labs]] with the help of [[Mairin]] and Professor Sycamore. While on their way to Lysandre Labs, a friendly news crew offered to take them there in their helicopter.

In ''[[XY134|The Right Hero for the Right Job!]]'', she initially fought [[Mable]] when the latter attacked their helicopter using her {{p|Weavile}}, although {{Steven}} eventually came to help them. When [[Celosia]] attempted to stop them, the news crew revealed themselves to be Team Rocket and faced Celosia in battle, allowing Serena and the rest to save Chespie. She then battled multiple grunts with difficulty, but Steven managed to catch up and help take them out.

In ''[[XY135|Rocking Kalos Defenses!]]'', she called Ash using the device Clemont gave them, asking him to find Clemont inside the gym. She, along with Mairin, Steven and Sycamore started investigating the research conducted by Team Flare. Before Steven could explain what he found, the [[Giant Rock]] was activated and absorbed Chespie, causing the building to collapse. The four of them tailed the Giant Rock towards [[Anistar City]] while Serena informed Ash, Alain, Clemont, Blaziken Mask, and Bonnie about the current situation of Chespie. She, along with Sycamore and Steven then fought the Giant Rock using Braixen, Garchomp, and Metagross. Her Braixen was thrown off Metagross by some of the vines from the Giant Rock, but Alain's Charizard managed to save her in time. After Ash managed to get Greninja to launch a {{m|Water Shuriken}} at Chespie's location in the Giant Rock, she assisted Steven, Sycamore, and Alain to fight their way through, but none of their attacks were able to hold it off.

[[File:Serena and Aria.png|thumb|left|250px|Serena and Aria]]
In ''[[XY136|Forming a More Perfect Union!]]'', after all the Gym Leaders, including [[Diantha]], arrived to help Ash and his friends, Serena stayed behind to protect Mairin and Bonnie while the rest used their Pokémon's abilities to fight their way through the Giant Rock. A few large vines surrounded the three of them but Serena managed to have Braixen, Pancham and Sylveon to prevent them from getting hurt. Serena then rushed to protect Mairin as a vine was heading towards her direction, but was saved by Ash and Alain managing to rescue Chespie in time. All of them then tried to attack the Giant Rock but ended up injuring themselves instead. Squishy and Z2 managed to transform into the Complete Forme and battled the Giant Rock and defeat [[Lysandre]]. Serena then reunites with Ash, Clemont, and Bonnie and watches Bonnie say goodbye to Squishy as it leaves along with Z2.

In ''[[XY137|Battling With a Clean Slate!]]'', Serena helped Bonnie to clean the Lumiose Gym in preparation for the relighting of Prism Tower. Later, she went with Ash, Clemont and Bonnie to Professor Sycamore's Lab when they heard Alain was returning, only to find Mairin on the floor with decorations all over her. She helped Mairin bake the cake for the welcome party that Mairin decided to host. When Alain entered the lab, they all welcomed him and had a feast together with Professor Sycamore. Later, along with Ash, Alain and Clemont, Serena battled and managed to defeat Team Rocket who were trying to steal Pikachu again. The next day, she watched the battle between [[Clembot]] and [[Alvin]], with Alvin coming out as the winner. After the gym battle, Professor Sycamore gave out medals to Serena, her Pokémon, as well as to Ash, Clemont, Bonnie, Mairin, Alain and their Pokémon. All of them gathered and posed for the group photo with the medals.

At night, Ash, Serena, Clemont and Bonnie watched as Prism Tower relights. Clemont asks what Serena is going to do to which she was hesitating to accept the offer Palermo gave earlier. Ash cheered her on and Serena happily thanks him for his constant support.

In ''[[XY138|The First Day of the Rest of Your Life!]]'', Serena saw on the news that the residents of Lumiose City were still recovering from injuries and decided to ask Professor Sycamore to help host a Pokémon Showcase event. Serena, Shauna, and even Jessilee put up a collaboration performance which made the residents smile and enjoy themselves. By witnessing how everyone started dancing along and smiling, Serena realized how much she loves performing and wants to do more. The next day, after saying goodbye to her mother, Ash asked Serena for a battle after seeing her lost in thoughts. Serena agreed as Ash said by battling, she would be able to decide what's next for her. During the battle, Serena was able to work well with Braixen and use her techniques well against Ash's Pikachu. Ash called off the battle and encouraged Serena that she always has her Pokémon by her side and he would be rooting for her. After the battle, Serena called Palermo, making her final answer to reject Palermo's offer. Serena told her seeing how everyone was smiling during her performance earlier that made her want to travel more and make more people smile like Aria and improve her skills. Palermo advised her to compete in [[Pokémon Contest]]s in [[Hoenn]] and Serena happily agreed. After that, she announced to the group that she would go to visit other regions to further develop her skills as a Performer, starting with Hoenn.

[[File:Serena arriving in Hoenn.png|thumb|250px|Serena arriving in Hoenn]]
In ''[[XY139|Facing the Needs of the Many!]]'', just before she, Ash, and the others were heading back to the Lumiose airport, a big plant pops up. After Xerosic captures Clemont and when the van drives away, Ash-Greninja jumps in front of the van, which frightens Serena. Later, Serena goes with Ash and Bonnie to rescue Clemont by jumping from the top of a cliff and then getting rescued by Ash-Greninja's tongue. After Clemont gets rescued and Xerosic is arrested, she, along with the others bid farewell to Ash's Greninja, which goes along with Squishy and Z2 to find the negative energy where those roots were spawning.

In ''[[XY140|Till We Compete Again!]]'', Serena officially left the group to follow Palermo's advice and travel the Hoenn region. At the airport, Serena told Ash she vowed to become better, especially for him the next time they met. She then leaned towards him, and the scene heavily implies that she kissed him on the lips, with Clemont, Bonnie, Pikachu, and Dedenne all shocked and Ash left momentarily stunned. Serena then thanked him for the journey and his guidance before leaving. She was last seen happily arriving in Hoenn.

===={{aniseries|JN}}====
[[File:Serena JN.png|thumb|250px|left|Serena in {{aniseries|JN}}]]
In the time since she started traveling alone, Serena apparently got over her feelings for Ash, became a rising star in [[Hoenn]] and garnered a lot of local attention in [[Lilycove City]]. She also became friends and rivals with Hoenn's top contest idol, [[Lisia]], and helped her to liven up the local Contests.
[[File:Serena and Lisia.png|thumb|250px|Serena and Lisia]]
Serena reappeared in ''[[JN105|Reuniting for the First Time!]]'', where she met [[Chloe]] and her {{TP|Chloe|Eevee}}. After giving her some suggestions for her future and encouraging her to take part in a Pokémon Contest Spectacular, Serena participated in the event as well. While Chloe participated in the {{OBP|Rank|Contest|Normal Rank}} Contest Spectacular, Serena took part in the Master Rank competition, tying for first place with Lisia. As Chloe was departing at the docks, Serena revealed that Lisia approached her after the Contest to ask if she wanted to team up with her and form an idol duo together, which Serena is unsure about as of yet. Shortly afterwards, Ash and Goh arrived, and Serena briefly reunited with Ash, with the two promising to keep cheering for each other as they parted ways again. Serena waved goodbye and waited at the docks watching Ash depart, before leaving with renewed confidence to continue her journey.

In ''[[JN132|Partners in Time!]]'', Serena appeared alongside {{an|May}}, [[Max]], and Lisia, watching Ash's [[Masters Eight Tournament]] match against {{an|Leon}}. Soon after, when Pikachu was at the limit of his strength, Serena, May, and Max were shown to be anxious about the state of the battle, each holding on to another for comfort.

Serena reappeared in a fantasy in ''[[JN135|Heroes Unite!]]'', alongside the Trainers Chloe and her Eevee had met.

====Other appearances====
Serena made a cameo appearance in the ending credits of ''[[M20|I Choose You!]]''. She appears using her original look.

===Character===
[[File:Grace and Serena.png|thumb|left|250px|Serena and her mother]]
Serena is a kind and polite girl, but she can also be openly rebellious towards her [[mother]], {{kal|Grace}}. In ''[[XY001|Kalos, Where Dreams and Adventures Begin!]]'', she refused to wake up when Grace ordered her to and gave a sassy response to her mother's call to watch the news. This tumultuous relationship was best demonstrated when Grace made her practice {{p|Rhyhorn}} riding, an activity Serena had hated doing. However, their relationship is also very loving as shown in later episodes. Although shown to have a strong will, Serena can be sensitive and insecure at times as seen in ''[[XY064|Battling with Elegance and a Big Smile!]]''. When she was frustrated with her Pokémon, she lashes out when at her limit and leaves to cool off in shame. She is also shown to lose her composure when pushed to a wall, becoming unsure of herself. Despite this however, Serena manages to pick herself back up by reminding herself to not give up, bringing up her confidence and also encouraging her Pokémon to do their best despite the odds. This is shown when two of [[Serena's Braixen|her]] [[Serena's Sylveon|Pokémon]] evolve from responding to her resolve. While battling isn't her primary focus, Serena has shown herself to be a competent battler, at least partially due to picking up Ash's battling style after seeing him battle countless times.
[[File:Sky Trainer Serena.png|thumb|250px|Serena's {{tc|Sky Trainer}} outfit]]
Serena was uncertain about what path or career to pursue in life and expressed little ambition toward becoming a full-time [[Pokémon Trainer]] in the early stages of her journey. However, in ''[[XY039|Summer of Discovery!]]'', she began to think that not having an established goal was a problem for her future as a Trainer. During her time in the [[Pokémon Summer Camp]], she began seriously considering what she wanted to do with herself and {{cat|Serena's Pokémon|her Pokémon}} after seeing how passionate the Trainers around her were. It was in ''[[XY047|Dreaming a Performer's Dream!]]'' that she decided that her goal was to be a [[Pokémon Performer]] and she has been diligently training both herself and her Pokémon ever since. After losing her first [[Pokémon Showcase]], Serena strengthened her resolve to do even better, and to symbolize this she cut her hair short.

Unlike with {{an|Dawn}}, Serena chose to not follow in her mother's footsteps as a Rhyhorn racer. However, she is shown to be a competent Rhyhorn racer and is quite knowledgeable about them. She possesses a unique charm when it comes to Rhyhorn, possibly due to her upbringing, as nearly all of those that she encounters gravitate towards her playfully as seen in ''[[XY007|Giving Chase at the Rhyhorn Race!]]'' and ''[[XY109|Master Class Choices!]]''. Due to her mother's training, she can easily tame Rhyhorn and manage them well. Additionally, because of those skills, she is also able to calmly guide a Mamoswine through a steep hill in ''[[XY083|Over the Mountain of Snow!]]''.
[[File:Serena catches a Pokémon.png|thumb|left|250px|Serena after catching a Pokémon]]
Serena has been shown to have a phobia of the supernatural. When {{ashfr|the group}} entered an abandoned house where a {{pkmn2|wild}} {{p|Espurr}} was staying in ''[[XY014|Seeking Shelter From the Storm!]]'', she would assume the worst or that a supernatural being was in play whenever the group was spooked by anything. Likewise, in ''[[XY038|Forging Forest Friendships!]]'', when {{Ash}} had been kidnapped by a {{p|Trevenant}}, she became worried that Ash would be eaten after {{an|Clemont}} told her the rumors surrounding the forest. This is seen again in ''[[XY072|Scary Hospitality!]]''. On such occasions, she often speaks without thinking, continually making assumptions about the scary houses that made Ash or Clemont cringe, and she promptly covered her mouth when she realized what she had said. She has also been shown to be afraid of crossing unstable bridges across high ravines.
[[File:Serena and Chloe.png|thumb|250px|Serena and Chloe]]
Serena seems to have a sisterly bond with {{an|Bonnie}}, as she is shown caring for her similar to the way Clemont does, such as protecting her in dangerous situations, comforting her, and cheering her up when she is sad. She also allows her to help her with various tasks, such as baking and grooming. Serena also gets along pretty well with Clemont, and they are normally seen taking care of the table together during meal times, with Clemont making the main dishes while Serena provides dessert. However, when it comes to his inventions, Serena has shown both a bit of marvel as well as caution, due to the usual result being an explosion. Serena quickly became very good friends with [[Chloe]] after meeting her, and appears to empathize with her after hearing her uncertainness about what goal to pursue in life.

Serena has shown a deep and loving affection for Ash, having remembered how he found her when she was lost and alone in a forest when she was young, and how he kindly guided her out. After several years, she still recognized him after seeing him on [[television]]. After picking her [[first partner Pokémon]] and starting her {{pkmn|journey}}, her first order of business was to meet up with him to return the handkerchief he once used to bandage her leg at the Pokémon Summer Camp all those years ago. Ash proved to be a source of inspiration for her with his never-give-up attitude and love for Pokémon, to the point that she still recites the motivational phrases he taught her to motivate herself and others.
[[File:Serena Bonnie Pochette.png|thumb|250px|left|Serena holding Bonnie's modified pochette]]
Serena has a love for fashion and clothing. An early example of this is in ''[[XY003|A Battle of Aerial Mobility!]]'', when she spent time carefully selecting an outfit and was troubled over which of two hats looked best. Serena then asked her mother, who selected a beret. However, she promptly tossed the beret aside and picked up the other hat, saying that whatever her mother did not choose was certain to be the cuter one. She has also expressed excitement about visiting the clothing boutiques in [[Lumiose City]]. In ''[[XY021|A Pokévision of Things to Come!]]'', she was eager to dress up in many different outfits while making her [[Pokévision]] video. Despite her love for fashion and performances, she rarely displays vanity or over confidence. She usually acts somewhat subdued and humble in both of these areas, though she is not above commenting that she thinks something she has done is "cute," usually when dressing up her Pokémon for a Showcase.

Serena has displayed some skill in tailoring, slightly altering her Rhyhorn racing gear in ''Giving Chase at the Rhyhorn Race!'', as well as being able to modify the furisode she wore in her second Showcase on-the-fly in ''[[XY080|Performing with Fiery Charm!]]'', when it was accidentally torn before her Free Performance. Serena also likes baking and is quite skilled at it. An example of this was demonstrated in ''Giving Chase at the Rhyhorn Race!'', when she stayed up late at night to bake cookies for Ash and the gang, which they seemed to enjoy. Also, in ''[[XY010|Mega-Mega Meowth Madness!]]'', she had baked some macarons for the group, but they were stolen by a {{TP|Clemont|Chespin}}. In ''[[XY026|A Battle by Any Other Name!]]'', she also participated in [[Poké Puff Contest|a Poké Puff baking competition]]. In ''[[XY043|Origins of Mega Evolution!]]'', Serena showed that she knows how to dance when she attempted to help Ash with his training. This skill would later come in handy as she decided to become a Performer, having to choreograph the moves of both her Pokémon and herself when training for Showcases.

Serena's catchphrase is '''Ta-da!''' (Japanese: ジャジャーン! ''Ja-jān!''), which she usually says whenever she is presenting something.

Serena is the first of Ash's traveling companions to permanently change her main outfit in the middle of a series.

Serena's first outfit was worn from ''[[XY003|A Battle of Aerial Mobility!]]'' to ''[[XY060|A Showcase Debut!]]''. It consisted of a grayish-black tank-top with a white collar, a red skirt, a dark pink hat with a black bow and hatband, black stockings, and black shoes, with a pink backpack to carry her goods. The tank-top is likely the same one she dons for her second outfit. She also had a lower part of her hair tied to a ponytail. This first outfit was nearly identical to her {{ga|Serena|game counterpart}}'s with the exception of her hat, collar, bag, and the lack of sunglasses.

Serena began wearing her second outfit from ''A Showcase Debut!'' to ''[[XY140|Till We Compete Again!]]''. It consisted of a light pink dress over a grayish-black tank-top with a white collar.

===Pokémon===
[[File:Serena Party.png|thumb|250px|Serena's current [[party]]]]
Serena's Pokémon consists of cute and are naturally inclined to Pokémon Performances, such as her {{TP|Serena|Pancham}} and {{TP|Serena|Sylveon}}, who are both great dancers. Also, Serena and her Pokémon are shown to have a tight-knit bond with each other, as she cares for them greatly and likewise. Like {{an|Iris}}, Serena does not have a full party by the end of the series unlike the {{an|Misty|previous}} {{an|May|female}} {{an|Dawn|companions}}. Although she manages to gain her Pokémon's obedience, it took time for Serena to fully utilize {{p|Eevee}} to her potential due to her shyness around others. After the events of ''[[XY105|Party Dancecapades!]]'', Serena is able to manage her team effectively.

Serena frequently cares for her Pokémon's appearance as seen in ''[[XY095|Love Strikes! Eevee, Yikes!]]'', by grooming their coats with her brush. She also {{pkmn|training|trains}} her Pokémon to execute their [[move]]s creatively for their routines in the Freestyle Performances for [[Pokémon Showcase]]s. While Serena does not regularly participate in {{pkmn|battle}}s, her Pokémon are somewhat skilled in battles against other Trainers as seen in ''[[XY090|Tag Team Battle Inspiration!]]''. Her {{TP|Serena|Delphox}} is usually used in battle as her strongest Pokémon, but she has used her in both Pokémon Showcases and Contests.

This listing is of Serena's known {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} in {{aniseries|PTS}}:

==In the manga==
[[File:Serena M18 manga.png|thumb|180px|Serena in ''{{ma|Hoopa and the Clash of Ages}}'']]
===Movie adaptations===
Serena appeared in ''{{ma|Diancie and the Cocoon of Destruction}}'' and ''{{ma|Hoopa and the Clash of Ages}}'', serving the same role as in the respective movies they were based on.
{{-}}

==Trivia==

* Out of all of {{Ash}}'s {{ashfr|traveling companions}}, Serena took the longest time to officially join Ash's group after being introduced, taking [[XY007|seven episodes]] to do so.
** She also took the longest time to both reveal her goal in life (choosing to become a [[Pokémon Performer]]) and catch [[Serena's Pancham|her first Pokémon]], both accomplished [[XY047|46 episodes]] after her debut.
* Serena is the first main character to not have a Pokémon under her ownership by the end of their introduction episode, not counting [[Max]] and {{an|Bonnie}}.
* Not counting temporary Pokémon, Serena is the first of Ash's friends to catch a Pokémon that another one of his friends also had: {{an|May}} and {{TP|May|Eevee}}.
** She is also the first traveling companion to have been invited into the group by Ash.
* Serena is the first female traveling partner to not get herself or her [[Bicycle|bike]] shocked by {{AP|Pikachu}} at the start of her respective [[series]], as {{an|Misty}}, May, and {{an|Dawn}} all had their bikes electrocuted, while {{an|Iris}} and Bonnie were directly shocked by Pikachu.
* Serena is the only one of Ash's female companions to have a confirmed canon crush on him.
** Serena is also the only one of Ash's female friends to not have a unique "[[twerp]]" title from {{TRT}}.
* Serena is the only main character to indefinitely change her outfit in the middle of a series, and the only one to permanently change her hairstyle at all.
* Serena is the only one of Ash's traveling companions to have met him before the [[EP001|beginning of the series]].
* Serena is the only main character other than Ash to have obtained a new [[Pokédex]] in a middle of a regional journey.
* Serena's new appearance was first teased in preliminary images of a {{pkmn|Tretta}} [[Pancham (U1-01)|puck]] featuring her and her Pancham, which featured her in a silhouette.
** It was first teased for the dub in the trailer for ''[[M18|Hoopa and the Clash of Ages]]''.
* Serena's second outfit from ''[[Pokémon the Series: XY]]'' resembles clothing and a hairstyle from the [[Trainer customization]] feature found in [[Pokémon X and Y]]. The clothing Serena currently wears resembles the Red Fedora, Brown Riding Boots, and Black Knee Socks; and her hairstyle resembles the short hair with bangs.
** Discounting Iris's occasional {{pkmn|Champion}} outfit, Serena is the only companion to receive an entirely new outfit in ''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]''.
* Serena's second [[Bag]] is designed after a [[Heal Ball]].

DrBrainIsAwesome: /* Their true significance */ new section

==Images==
Since this is an Easter Egg where you have to try and spot them, I think it would be a good idea to have an image of their appearance in each movie. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 05:14, 14 January 2014 (UTC)
:Why was the image I added from [[XY050]] removed? [[User:TeridaxXD001|TeridaxXD001]] ([[User talk:TeridaxXD001|talk]]) 21:49, 8 January 2015 (UTC)
::Nevermind [[User:TeridaxXD001|TeridaxXD001]] ([[User talk:TeridaxXD001|talk]]) 00:13, 9 January 2015 (UTC)
:::Are we sure they weren't in [[M09]]? [[User:TeridaxXD001|TeridaxXD001]] ([[User talk:TeridaxXD001|talk]]) 00:13, 9 January 2015 (UTC)
== Rohta ==

[[Dogasu's Backpack|Dogasu]] [http://dogasu.bulbagarden.net/features/recycle/female.html calls the mother] "the Mother of Rohta" (scroll to the bottom). If anyone with the Japanese version of [[M06|Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]] can put the kana/kanji (not sure which) here, we could move it to "Rohta and her mother", or something. [[User:Pikachu Bros.|Pikachu Bros.]] ([[User talk:Pikachu Bros.|talk]]) 14:39, 3 April 2014 (UTC)
:I'm pretty sure that refers to the town/kingom of [[Rota]]. ☼ Blazing[[User talk:Blazingfist|Fist ☼]] 14:43, 3 April 2014 (UTC)
::Okay then, never mind. [[User:Pikachu Bros.|Pikachu Bros.]] ([[User talk:Pikachu Bros.|talk]]) 14:54, 3 April 2014 (UTC)
:::Still, according to Dogasu, she is mentioned in the credits, so at least we could have a Japanese name for the mother. I think "mother of Rota" would be referring to a mother from Rota, not the mother of someone called Rota though. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 04:10, 2 June 2014 (UTC)

== XY050 ==
Since the Latias/Latios short is available on Pokémon TV, we now have access to their appearance in XY050 dubbed into English. The resolution is smaller (720p) but there is no TV Tokyo watermark in the upper left hand corner. Should we replace it? I was going to put this on the file talk page, but it claims I don't have permission. [[User:TeridaxXD001|TeridaxXD001]] ([[User talk:TeridaxXD001|talk]]) 20:09, 19 February 2015 (UTC)

== M19 cameo ==

The [[M19]] page links to here, but this page doesn't mention any cameo in M19. Looking back at the edit history, it seems that this page did mention M19 before, but it was removed in 2023 in [https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Mother_and_daughter&type=revision&diff=3818485&oldid=3780085 this edit]. There was also an image showing the cameo, here:

[[File:Mother and daughter M19.png|500px]]

Aside from the mother's hair being down instead of in a ponytail, this seems (to me at least) to clearly be the mother and daughter. The daughter's hair and the pair's outfit colors seem to match up with how they're usually portrayed. I'm confused as to why this was removed? --[[User:Boblers|Boblers]] ([[User talk:Boblers|talk]]) 19:27, 14 November 2024 (UTC)
:The daughter's resemblance is clear. They seem to have changed how they draw the mother. They're very likely meant as a reference to the mother daughter duo. M19 deserves a mention regardless, even if the written text notes them as a reference to said characters (if not literaly them).[[User:Adil|'''Adil''']] — [[User talk:Adil|'''Talk page''']] 19:44, 14 November 2024 (UTC)
::I like this idea as a compromise. It allows us to still document the reference, and lines up with existing practices of mentioning lookalike characters (such as on [[Max]]'s trivia, and on [[animated series character recycling]]).
::In the Discord, Storm Aurora also mentioned that the [[M16]], [[M18]], and [[SM090]] M&D appearances kinda deviate from the traditional designs as well. Given that, I think we can try a "lookalikes" section discussing the differences. --[[User:Boblers|Boblers]] ([[User talk:Boblers|talk]]) 22:16, 14 November 2024 (UTC)
:::That's a good approach! [[User:Adil|'''Adil''']] — [[User talk:Adil|'''Talk page''']] 22:22, 14 November 2024 (UTC)

== Their true significance ==

Could it be possible that the entire plot of the anime is just a story the mother is telling her daughter? [[User:DrBrainIsAwesome|DrBrainIsAwesome]] ([[User talk:DrBrainIsAwesome|talk]]) 16:53, 21 April 2025 (UTC)

'''Ann''' (Japanese: '''アン''' ''Ann'') is a character in {{aniseries|HZ}}. She is a student at [[Indigo Academy]] and a friend and roommate of [[Liko]].

==In animation==
===History===
[[File:Liko and Ann.png|left|250px|thumb|Ann and Liko]]
Ann first appeared in ''[[HZ001|The Pendant That Starts It All (Part One)]]''. She met [[Liko]] when she arrived at the room they were sharing together. After getting the [[Pokédex]] installed on her [[Rotom Phone]], she selected {{p|Oshawott}} to be her [[first partner Pokémon]]. The next day, Ann had her first ever Pokémon battle, using Oshawott to battle against [[Liko's Sprigatito]], which was soon called off. One night, Ann spotted Liko looking at [[Diana|her grandmother]]'s pendant and asked about it.

After Liko noticed how close she and Oshawott were compared to how close she was with her Sprigatito, Ann gave her advice. When the time came for a school break, Ann headed home, leaving Liko at the academy.

Ann reappeared in ''[[HZ003|For Sure! 'Cause Sprigatito's with Me!]]'', when she spoke to Liko after she had joined the [[Rising Volt Tacklers]].

In ''[[HZ008|The Door That Never Opens]]'', Ann spoke to Liko when she attended a class online. During the conversation, the two talked about the live stream that [[Dot|Nidothing]] would do in a few hours.

In ''[[HZ021|The Lonely Hatenna]]'', she contacted Liko and revealed that she had acquired her second Pokémon in the form of her {{p|Sandshrew}}.

In ''[[HZ035|The Wild Pair, Friede and Cap!]]'', Ann spoke with Liko before class and noted that she had caught a {{TP|Liko|Hatenna}}. Ann appeared again when Liko gave her presentation for class.

In ''[[HZ046|Welcome to Naranja Academy!]]'', Ann arrived at [[Naranja Academy]], having enrolled as a temporary student to train for [[Tera Training]]. After reuniting with Liko, she met [[Roy]] and [[Dot]] and had a battle with Liko, using her {{p|Dewott}} to battle against {{p|Floragato}}. After a tough battle, Liko emerged victorious.

During her Tera Training journey, Ann received her challenge, and managed to pass her first exam.

In ''[[HZ054|The Treasure of Eternity]]'', Ann met up again with Liko and her friends and, after being introduced to {{TP|Liko|Terapagos}}, she spent the day with them. During the return to Naranja Academy, Ann revealed to Liko her real feelings as a Trainer and together they arrived at [[Mesagoza]]. In the [[HZ055|next episode]], Ann stayed with Liko and her friends while they received information that they would participate in a battle against members of [[Paldea]]'s [[Elite Four]]. During the battles, Ann watched the matches with Liko. In ''[[HZ056|Liko vs. Rika! Towards the Battle's End]]'', she watched her friend and [[Katy]]'s battle against [[Rika]] alongside [[Nemona]] and Roy.

In ''[[HZ057|The Terapagos I Don't Know]]'', Ann was seen with the other students during [[Clavell]]'s speech that began the second part of the Training. Despite this, her Gym challenge was not revealed.

In ''[[HZ066|Infiltrating the System! Naranja Academy in Danger!]]'', Ann participated in the [[Course Students Battle Tournament]] at the Naranja Academy, where she faced [[Niko]]. In the [[HZ067|next episode]], Ann took care of {{an|Terapagos}} while Liko battled Roy, and during the climax of the battle, Ann joined the others in cheering for her friends. After the conclusion of Tera Training and the tournament, Ann revealed to Liko that she was returning to [[Kanto]] to continue her studies at Indigo Academy and that she would like to face Liko again when she is stronger.

Ann reappeared in a flashback in [[HZ085]].

===Character===
[[File:Ann Sandshrew.png|250px|thumb|Ann and her Pokémon prior to ''[[HZ046|Welcome to Naranja Academy!]]'']]
Ann is an energetic girl who is very extroverted. She has a habit of being messy, but is shown to be considerate, keeping her mess to herself. She expresses concern and encourages her close friend [[Liko]] to try and understand her partner Pokémon.

In ''[[HZ021|The Lonely Hatenna]]'', Ann revealed that she wants to be a {{pkmn|Trainer}} that focuses on {{pkmn|battle}}s, while Liko was still figuring out her path at the time. In ''[[HZ054|The Treasure of Eternity]]'', Ann revealed that her main goal was the [[Pokémon League]].

===Pokémon===
Ann's Pokémon are very close and friendly to each other. Ann is also very attached to her Pokémon, to the point that she considers them the biggest reason she follows through on her dreams.

Despite being a beginner {{pkmn|Trainer}} like [[Liko]], her Dewott managed to stand its ground despite her Pokémon's weakness against Floragato. Ann is also a versatile Trainer, using specific [[move]]s on her Pokémon to cover their weaknesses, as analyzed by [[Rika]].

It reappeared in ''[[HZ046|Welcome to Naranja Academy!]]'', where it was revealed to have evolved into a Dewott. It had a [[rematch]] against Liko's Floragato, but lost.

In ''[[HZ066|Infiltrating the System! Naranja Academy in Danger!]]'', Dewott was used to face [[Niko]]'s {{p|Roserade}} in [[Naranja Academy]]'s [[Course Students Battle Tournament]].

This sounded a lot like Charlyne Yi to me, do we have any sources identifying? [[User:Tyciol|ty]] ([[User talk:Tyciol|talk]]) 18:29, 4 June 2022 (UTC)

Should we add the information that his mask resembles a Shy Guy from the Mario series? He is a very shy guy after all. [[User:DrBrainIsAwesome|DrBrainIsAwesome]] ([[User talk:DrBrainIsAwesome|talk]]) 06:28, 12 February 2025 (UTC)

'''Viola''' (Japanese: '''ビオラ''' ''Viola'') is a professional [[Photography|photographer]] who is the [[Gym Leader]] of [[Santalune City]]'s [[Gym]], known officially as the [[Santalune Gym]]. She [[Type expert|specializes]] in {{type|Bug}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. She gives the {{badge|Bug}} to {{pkmn|Trainer}}s who defeat her.

==In the core series games==
===Character and role===
===Pokémon X and Y===
[[File:Viola Gym Battle XY.png|thumb|left|250px|Viola challenging the player]]
Viola is the first Gym Leader to be challenged by the [[Player character|player]]. {{pkmn|Trainer}}s who defeat her will be given the {{badge|Bug}}, along with {{TM|83|Infestation}}. She is the younger sister of [[Alexa]], a reporter based in the Kalos region.<ref name=AlexaSister>''"Oh, Viola! Viola is the Gym Leader of Santalune City. Not only is she an expert with Bug-type Pokémon, but she’s also an up-and-coming photography pro! Her older sister, Alexa, happens to be a reporter!"''</ref> She is also seemingly good friends with fellow Gym Leader [[Valerie]], who gifted her the barrette that her hair is tied in for her birthday.<ref name=Barrette>''"Hooray! Viola has arrived! She’s fabulous! So fabulous! I’m so crazy about those eyebrows! The barrette that Viola always wears is a birthday gift from Valerie!"''</ref>

As well as being a Gym Leader, Viola is a professional photographer. According to the [[television]] show ''Gym Freaks'', Viola's camera was a birthday gift from Alexa.<ref name=CameraGift>''"Oooh... Ahhh... Viola has arrived! She’s fabulous! So fabulous! I’m so crazy about those eyebrows! The camera that Viola always has is a birthday gift from her sister, Alexa. Awww. If I was born again, I’d like to be the camera."''</ref> She seems to massively enjoy photography, often speaking with analogies surrounding cameras or photography in general. Her work, such as "To be Evolved" and "Nectar's Siren Song" can be found on the first floor of the Santalune Gym. Viola also has a habit of saying "Fantastic" many times, both in Pokémon X and Y, as well as in [[Pokémon Masters EX]], where she pronounces it as "fantastique" with a French accent.<ref name=Fantastic>''"You and your Pokémon have shown me a whole new depth of field! Fantastic! Just fantastic!"''</ref>

===Appearance===
[[File:Viola concept art.png|thumb|200px|Viola's concept art]]
Viola is a slim woman of seemingly average height. She has sandy blonde hair, which she wears in a rather unique hairstyle; being loosely tied into a barrette at the back, with two strands at the front left untied, which have rounded ends, making them resemble [[wp:Antenna_(biology)|antennae]]. Viola wears a slightly cropped white tank top, green cargo pants that have a white waistband, and grey boots. She carries two cameras - one around her neck, and one to her side.

Her official concept artwork depicts an alternate outfit for her, consisting of what seems to be a more formal top, and her hair more neatly tied into a ponytail. While this outfit does not appear in [[Pokémon X and Y]], she was portrayed with the same ponytail in {{aniseries|XY}}, as well as in her Holiday 2023 Outfit in [[Pokémon Masters EX]].

===''Pokémon the Series''===
[[File:Viola anime.png|thumb|250px|Viola in {{aniseries|XY}}]]
===={{aniseries|BW}}====
Viola was first mentioned in ''[[BW142|The Dream Continues!]]'', albeit not by name, when [[Alexa]] revealed to {{Ash}} that her sister was a Gym Leader from the Kalos region.

===={{aniseries|XY}}====
When Ash arrived in Kalos in ''[[XY001|Kalos, Where Dreams and Adventures Begin!]]'', he learned that Viola was absent from her Gym at Santalune City. However, Ash decided to head to [[Santalune Gym]] anyway after his challenge at [[Lumiose Gym]] was declined.

[[XY005|He arrived there]] just as Viola, who was revealed to a professional photographer known for her excellent shots of Bug-type Pokémon, was returning and she accepted Ash's challenge. Viola's {{p|Surskit}} and {{p|Vivillon}} had a type disadvantage against [[Ash's Fletchling]] and {{AP|Pikachu}}, however Viola's strategy was to immobilize both Pokémon using {{m|Ice Beam}} and {{m|Sticky Web}}. This worked and Ash lost the battle.

In ''[[XY006|Battling on Thin Ice!]]'', Ash challenged Viola to a [[rematch]]. Thanks to the training Ash had with {{ashfr}} between the battles, he was able to counter Viola's strategies and defeat her, winning himself the {{badge|Bug}}. She later reappeared in a flashback in ''[[XY012|To Catch a Pokémon Smuggler!]]''.

In ''[[XY020|Breaking Titles at the Chateau!]]'', Viola reunited with Ash and his friends at the [[Battle Chateau]]. There, she and Surskit battled [[Grant]] and his {{p|Onix}}, and lost.

In ''[[XY112|Master Class is in Session!]]'' and ''[[XY113|Performing a Pathway to the Future!]]'', Viola watched {{an|Serena}}'s Master Class [[Pokémon Showcase]] along with Alexa.

She appeared in a fantasy in ''[[XY125|A League of His Own!]]'', when Ash was talking to [[Everett]] about the Gym Leaders that he had defeated in Kalos, in order for him to be able to compete in the [[Lumiose Conference]].

In ''[[XY132|A Towering Takeover!]]'', Viola was seen watching [[Lysandre]]'s broadcast from Lumiose City along with Alexa.

In ''[[XY135|Rocking Kalos Defenses!]]'' and ''[[XY136|Forming a More Perfect Union!]]'', Viola and Vivillon were among those who helped destroy the [[Giant Rock]].

She appeared again in flashbacks in ''[[XY140|Till We Compete Again!]]''.

====Character====
Like her sister, Viola is very cheerful and friendly but has an unwavering focus in battle. According to Alexa, her trips away from Santalune Gym often last for some time. She helps Alexa with her work at times and she shares a friendship with Grant, though she is shown to get easily annoyed whenever Grant falls from the walls he is climbing on.

|desc={{p|Surskit}} is Viola's first known Pokémon. It was first used against [[Ash's Pikachu]] in their first Gym battle. Surskit defeated Pikachu by freezing the battlefield with Ice Beam, which prevented him from moving properly and left him unable to escape Surskit's Signal Beam. Next, it fought {{AP|Fletchling}}, who quickly defeated Surskit due to its ability to fly. In ''[[XY006|Battling on Thin Ice!]]'', Surskit battled Pikachu again in a rematch, where its previous tactics failed due to Pikachu using his tail to balance himself on the ice. It was eventually defeated by Pikachu's {{m|Thunderbolt}}.

Surskit reappeared in ''[[XY020|Breaking Titles at the Chateau!]]'', where it battled [[Grant]]'s {{p|Onix}} but lost.

It appeared in flashbacks in ''[[XY021|A PokeVision of Things to Come!]]'' and ''[[XY023|Coming Back into the Cold]]''.

It won the battle by using Psychic to trap Fletchling in Surskit's {{m|Sticky Web}}, leaving it defenseless to Vivillon's Solar Beam. In ''[[XY006|Battling on Thin Ice!]]'', Vivillon faced Fletchling again in a rematch, where it beat Fletchling again by hitting it with Sleep Powder, leaving it defenseless to Solar Beam once more. Then it fought {{AP|Pikachu}}, where Vivillon was defeated after its wing was frozen by the ice surrounding the Gym, hindering its ability to fly and leaving it an easy target for Pikachu's {{m|Thunderbolt}}.

It reappeared in a flashback in ''[[XY012|To Catch a Pokemon Smuggler!]]''.

It appeared again in ''[[XY135|Rocking Kalos Defenses!]]'' and ''[[XY136|Forming a More Perfect Union!]]'', where it helped destroy the [[Giant Rock]].

===GOTCHA!===
Viola briefly appeared in [[GOTCHA!]].

==In the manga==
===Pokémon Adventures===
[[File:Viola Korrina Adventures.png|thumb|right|250px|Viola in Pokémon Adventures]]
Viola makes her first appearance in the {{MangaArc|X & Y}}, where she goes to [[Vaniville Town]] with Alexa to interview up-and-coming {{tc|Sky Trainer}} {{adv|Y}}. Y angrily reveals her hatred for reporters after they caused her friend {{adv|X}} to become a shut-in and refuse to leave his house despite his friends' constant efforts. Before they can continue, the Legendary Pokémon {{p|Xerneas}} and {{p|Yveltal}} appear and begin destroying the town while fighting each other. When Viola wonders if the two are actually even Pokémon, Alexa states that she isn't sure either but notes that according to a 3,000 year old legend, Xerneas and Yveltal appear every 1,000 years.

When X's group arrives in [[Santalune City]], Viola meets up with them again. Although previous encounters with [[Team Flare]] made X and his friends wary of adults, Viola reveals her position as a Gym Leader and offers to help the group by letting them see her photos of the Vaniville Town incident and offers sanctuary at her Gym. X and his friends agree to trust her, except for Shauna who runs off after getting mad at everyone for disregarding their earlier pact to not trust adults. At the Gym, Viola challenges X to a battle, which she ends up losing. They are interrupted by [[Celosia]] of Team Flare, who possesses Shauna and uses her to attack Y. Viola pushes Y out of the way, but ends up getting hit as a result. Viola reveals herself to still be conscious and reveals that he saw X's attempt to use Mega Evolution earlier and called fellow Gym Leader [[Korrina]] to help him learn more about it. When Celosia attempts to run off, Viola has her {{p|Surskit}} stop Celosia in her tracks with {{m|Sticky Web}}. Once Celosia was driven away, everyone regrouped back at the Gym where Viola had her head injury bandaged up.

Later, Viola calls Alexa to inform her that Team Flare is the ones behind the incidents happening in various places. She also informs her sister that Y and her friends have also left to go to Lumiose City.

Later, Viola and Alexa witness Lysandre announcing to the entire Kalos region about his plans to end all life with the power of the ultimate weapon. Afterward, they, along with Clemont, [[Bonnie]], and [[Yvette]], confront Team Flare at {{rt|10|Kalos}} in order to free the captured Pokémon there. Together, the group manages to defeat all the members of Team Flare and rescue the captured Pokémon. After Team Flare is fully defeated, Viola and her allies meet with X and his friends at [[Lumiose City]] to congratulate them on their victory.

==Trivia==
* Viola's Japanese Leader title is {{tt|笑顔を見逃さないカメラガール|The camera girl who never misses a smile}}.
* Viola is the first notable female {{type|Bug}} specialist of the core series games.
* Both Viola and [[Alexa|her sister]] share their Japanese voice actresses with [[Sinnoh]] [[Gym Leader]]s. In Viola's case, it is [[Candice]].
* In the Battle Chateau initial battle, Viola's Masquerain knows {{m|Air Slash}} at level 40, even though it can only learn it at level 47 in {{g|X and Y}}. Its pre-Evolution, {{p|Surskit}}, cannot learn this move.
* In her {{pkmn|animated series}} debut, Viola is shown to be just as tall as her sister, Alexa. However, in later episodes, Viola's height only reaches to her sister's shoulders.
* Viola was originally meant to have a ponytail, as evidenced in her concept art for Pokémon X and Y. She is, however, seen with this hairstyle in several episodes of {{aniseries|XY}}.
* At the release of the games, Viola's name could not be set as the {{player}}'s name, as her name contains ''viol'', a French word meaning "rape", which was blocked by the 3DS's built-in word filter. A December 2014 patch to the 3DS updated the filter, allowing "Viola" to be entered.

Talk:Shiinotic (Pokémon)

2024-12-29T16:34:34Z

DrBrainIsAwesome: /* Possible inspiration */ new section

Isn't Shiinotic named after Shiinotomoshibitake (Mycena lux-coeli), which is a bioluminescent mushroom?[[User:Jlaine3333|Jlaine3333]] ([[User talk:Jlaine3333|talk]]) 15:44, 19 April 2024 (UTC)

== Possible inspiration ==

Could Shiinotic be based on Toad from the Super Mario franchise? It is an anthropomorphic mushroom with a constantly smiling face and a bottom part resembling Toad's pants.

Or maybe...
Considering how its light can confuse people, its spores cause drowsiness and it's a Fairy type, could it also be based on magic mushrooms? [[User:DrBrainIsAwesome|DrBrainIsAwesome]] ([[User talk:DrBrainIsAwesome|talk]]) 16:34, 29 December 2024 (UTC)

Battle Subway

2024-11-08T20:25:37Z

DrBrainIsAwesome: /* Trivia */

{{Infobox location
|image=Battle Subway artwork.png
|type=road
|location_name=Battle Subway
|japanese_name=バトルサブウェイ
|translated_name=Battle Subway
|location=[[Nimbasa City]]
|region=Unova

|map=Unova Nimbasa City Map.png
}}
[[File:Battle Subway Map BWB2W2.png|thumb|Subway map of the Unova region, featuring all eight train lines]]
The '''Battle Subway''' (Japanese: '''バトルサブウェイ''' ''Battle Subway'') is a [[battle facility]] found in {{4v|Black|White|2}}. It is the [[Unova]] equivalent of the [[Battle Tower]]. It is led by the {{tc|Subway Boss}}es.

'''Gear Station''' (Japanese: '''ギアステーション''' ''Gear Station'') is a location in [[Nimbasa City]] that connects all of [[Unova]]'s train lines together. Its circular hall has entrances to eight different platforms for each train: one for Single Trains, one for Super Single Trains, one for Double Trains, one for Super Double Trains, one for trains to [[Anville Town]], one for Super Multi Trains, one for Multi Trains, and one for Wi-Fi Trains. The '''Battle Subway''' is accessed by boarding one of the seven Battle Subway trains (i.e. those that do not lead to Anville Town).

==Challenges==
By boarding one of the seven Battle Subway trains (i.e. those that do not lead to Anville Town), the '''Battle Subway''' location is accessed. Once a Battle Subway train has been boarded, the {{player}} must defeat seven (seven sets of two if riding a Multi Train or Super Multi Train) randomly picked サブウェイトレーナー ''Subway Trainers'' in order to make it to the next stop, which will earn them [[Battle Point]]s and increase their current win streak, which (along with their all time Record win streak) will be displayed on their [[Vs. Recorder]].

Initially, the player is not allowed to board the Super Single, Super Double, and Super Multi Trains. These are permanently unlocked after obtaining the [[National Pokédex]], and a win streak of 21 has been achieved on the Single, Double, and Multi Trains, respectively. Unlike Super Trains, these non-Super Trains do not go on forever, instead returning to Gear Station after the 21st battle. The opponent Subway Trainers and their Pokémon are also completely different from those faced on Super Trains, heavily featuring Pokémon that are not fully evolved and limited to {{cat|Generation V Pokémon}} only, as opposed to the Super Trains, which feature Pokémon from the first five generations, all of which are fully evolved, with the exception of {{p|Porygon2}}. The number of Pokémon used varies with the battle mode of the train as follows:

===Restrictions===
Battles fought on Battle Subway trains differ from regular battles in a number of ways. When riding a Battle Subway train:

* All Pokémon are set to [[level]] 50 (unlike previous generations this also includes Pokémon below level 50).
* [[Bag]] items cannot be used.
* The player is forced to [[save]] the game between challenges, effectively preventing the player from achieving artificial win streaks without manipulating gameplay via cheating.
* Pokémon will not gain [[experience|experience points]] by defeating opponents.
* Pokémon are fully restored after each battle, including any [[held item]]s lost during battle.
*Regardless of which Battle Subway train is boarded, the following {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, along with their respective alternate [[form]]s are not allowed:

* Any Pokémon holding a [[Soul Dew]] is banned.

===Battle Points===
The number of [[Battle Point]]s awarded after seven consecutive victories varies with the length of the current win streak, as shown in the table below. 10 Battle Points are awarded for every seven consecutive victories on the Wi-Fi Trains regardless of rank, except that if the option to re-battle the Trainers from the previous train was chosen, only 5 BP will be given at the end of the train.

===Subway Boss===
{{tc|Subway Boss}}es are sometimes fought instead of regular Subway Trainers. Unlike regular Subway Trainers who use a set of Pokémon randomly drawn from their roster, Subway Bosses have a predetermined team for every battle, although the team order does vary.

When the Subway Bosses are defeated on both the Super Single and Super Double Trains, the player's [[Trainer Card level]] will go up in {{game|Black and White|s}}. In all versions, the player is given a trophy for their room upon defeating the Super Single, Super Double, and Super Multi Subway Bosses for the first time, resulting in a total of three obtainable trophies. Obtained trophies from Pokémon Black and White can be displayed in the [[Nuvema Town]] player's room of {{B2W2}} via [[Memory Link]].

===Battle Subway Trainers===

[[Non-playable character|NPC]] Trainers in the Battle Subway use teams of randomly-selected {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. For normal-ranked trains, opponents will only use Pokémon from the [[List of Pokémon by Unova Pokédex number|Unova Pokédex]], many of which not fully evolved. In Super trains, Trainers exclusively use fully evolved Pokémon, with the exception of {{p|Porygon2}}, from all regions.

====Multi Battle Partners====
In the Multi Trains and Super Multi Trains, the player can team up with another player via wireless or infrared. Otherwise, the player can team up with the NPC {{ga|Hilbert}}, {{ga|Hilda}}, {{ga|Nate}}, or {{ga|Rosa}} depending on the player's gender and game version. The NPC will ask what kind of team the player would prefer to team up with, based on attack, defense, or balance. If the option of a balanced team is chosen, the Pokémon may be from either list.

===Stops===
After defeating a set of Subway Trainers, the player is dropped off at a stop from where they can continue their challenge by boarding the train again, or return to Gear Station (from where the challenge can also be resumed). Like the trains, these stops are part of the actual '''Battle Subway''' location, although they do not feature its background music, バトルサブウェイ ''[[Pokémon Black & Pokémon White: Super Music Collection|The Battle Subway]]''. Like on the [[Royal Unova]], most [[Key Item]]s cannot be used here. A stop features benches, trash cans, a subway map, and a [[vending machine]]. Two {{tc|Rail Staff|Depot Agents}} managing the player's fare are found at each stop, joined by a number of other Battle Subway challengers which decreases as the player's win streak grows until none are left. Some of these fellow Battle Subway challengers will hand the player a gift when engaged:

==In animation==
[[File:Battle Subway anime.png|thumb|250px|Gear Station in {{aniseries|BW}}]]
===''Pokémon the Series''===
In {{aniseries|PTS}}, the Battle Subway serves as the typical public transportation for the citizens of Nimbasa City, and also features Battle Trains that Trainers may battle on.

===={{aniseries|BW}}====
The Gear Station made a short cameo in ''[[BW043|Meowth's Scrafty Tactics!]]'' as [[Jessie]] and [[James]] began the next phase of their mission. They continued their mission in ''[[BW044|Purrloin: Sweet or Sneaky?]]'', ''[[BW045|Beheeyem, Duosion, and the Dream Thief!]]'', and ''[[BW046|Beartic Mountain Feud!]]''. In ''Beheeyem, Duosion, and the Dream Thief!'', their actions were noticed by [[Emmet]] and his brother [[Ingo]] through their security office. In ''Beartic Mountain Feud!'', the twins set out to find the cause of the disturbances and they caught a glimpse of Team Rocket, but lost them among the shadows of the subway tunnels.

In ''[[BW047|Crisis from the Underground Up!]]'' and ''[[BW048|Battle for the Underground]]'', {{Ash}}, {{an|Iris}}, {{an|Cilan}}, and {{MTR}} used the Battle Subway trains as a means of transport to reach the Pokémon Center. After the train was stopped, due to Team Rocket tampering with the rail switches, the group met Emmet and Ingo. While they were resting at the Pokémon Center, Team Rocket executed their scheme to steal all the Pokémon at the Pokémon Center, and used the Battle Subway as a medium for transporting them. They used their own specialized train, and were able to create balloon-like duplicates to throw off Emmet and Ingo's security center computer which monitors all trains currently on the rails. Ash, Iris, and Cilan were then assigned to use the maintenance trains to find Team Rocket and retrieve the stolen Pokémon. When things got rough, Ingo and Emmet joined them, using Emmet's {{p|Eelektross}} as a super-charged power supply for the maintenance train.

In ''[[BW051|Lost at the Stamp Rally!]]'', a Stamp Rally was held, offering the prize of an opportunity to battle the Subway Bosses. Cilan entered the challenge, and after he completed the collection and helped Ingo and Emmet reunite a lost {{p|Axew}} with [[Erina|her Trainer]], he partnered with Ash to battle the twins. They faced Ingo and Emmet's {{p|Chandelure}} and Eelektross, but lost.

==In the manga==
[[File:Battle Subway PBW.png|thumb|left|200px|Battle Subway in [[Be the Best! Pokémon B+W]]]]
[[File:Battle Subway Adventures.png|thumb|250px|Battle Subway in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
[[File:Gear Station Adventures.png|thumb|200px|Gear Station in Pokémon Adventures]]
===Be the Best! Pokémon B+W===
The Battle Subway first appeared in ''[[PBW4|Challenge the Battle Subway!]]'', where [[Monta]] challenged it, but was defeated by a {{tc|Rich Boy}} named Dol. In a [[rematch]], Monta was able to defeat Dol.

In ''[[PBW7|Victini - A New Friend!]]'', Monta encountered a {{pkmn|Trainer}} named [[Muteki]] aboard the Battle Subway. Having lost to him before entering the subway, Monta now knew how handle his {{p|Victini}} better this time and managed to defeat Muteki.

===Pokémon Adventures===
===={{MangaArc|Black & White}}====
The Battle Subway first appeared in ''[[PS486|Unraveling Mysteries]]'' and ''[[PS487|A New Perspective]]'', where {{adv|Black}} and {{adv|White}} were taken to see the Gear Station by {{tc|Baker}} Chris. At the station, Black saw [[Alder]] and [[Marshal]] battle inside one of the carriages. Marshal informed Black that they were looking for someone to trial a full Battle Subway journey before its official opening. Black initially volunteered, but took back his offer after remebering the traumatic event White had experienced regarding battles [[PS485|the night before]]. White, however, resolved to learn about battles besides just her main interest in life, entertainment, and offered to try out the Battle Subway. White's trial run begun in ''[[PS488|Growing Pains]]'', with Black lending her his [[Brav]]iary just as the train departed.

In ''[[PS490|A Stormy Time in the Battle Subway]]'', White met [[Shauntal]] during her Battle Subway challenge and witnessed a battle between the {{adv|forces of nature}}. Just as the [[Legendary Pokémon]] were about to leave, they were {{pkmn2|caught|captured}} by [[Giallo]] of [[Team Plasma]]'s [[Seven Sages]].

In ''[[PS500|With a Little Help from My Friends]]'', the Battle Subway arrived in [[Anville Town]], but White was forced to battle [[Ingo]] before she could exit the train, managing the tie with the {{tc|Subway Boss}}. After meeting up with {{adv|Bianca}}, the two boarded the subway train together and headed for [[Castelia City]].
{{-}}

==Trivia==
* For every time a Trainer is defeated and the player advances to the next cabin, an instrument is added to the background music, バトルサブウェイ ''[[Pokémon Black & Pokémon White: Super Music Collection|The Battle Subway]]''. In the first cabin of every train, only the sound of train tracks is played. The second cabin adds hi hats, the third adds congas, the fourth adds an electronic drum kit, the fifth adds an upright bass & a synth, the sixth cabin adds a piano, and the final cabin adds a brass ensemble.
* One of the {{p|Gothitelle}} that can be fought in the Battle Subway knows both {{m|Mirror Coat}} and {{m|Miracle Eye}}, a move combination which was [[Game move errors|impossible]] at the time.
** Likewise, one of the {{p|Kangaskhan}} knows {{m|Double-Edge}} and {{m|Circle Throw}}, another impossible combination.
* Unlike previous battling facilities, the player does not automatically lose if both Trainers' last Pokémon [[fainting|faint]] simultaneously; instead, the Trainer whose Pokémon fell first loses.
* The Battle Subway is featured in one of the paintings on display in [[Lumiose City|Lumiose Museum]] in [[Pokémon X and Y]].
* Due to Gear Station's circular design, the player can walk endlessly around the station with no need to change direction. This makes it an effective location for hatching {{pkmn|Egg}}s and gaining [[Experience|experience points]] from the [[Pokémon Day Care]].
* Gear Station's background music sounds somewhat similar to the song "{{wp|Hold the Line}}" by {{wp|Toto_(band)|Toto}}.

'''Nessa''' (Japanese: '''ルリナ''' ''Rurina'') is a {{wp|model (person)|model}} who is the [[Gym Leader]] of [[Hulbury]]'s [[Gym]], known officially as [[Hulbury Stadium]]. She [[Type expert|specializes]] in {{type|Water}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. She gives the {{badge|Water}} to Trainers who defeat her.

==In the core series games==
Nessa is the second [[Gym Leader]] [[Galar]]ian {{pkmn|Trainer}}s face in their [[Galar League|Gym Challenge]]. Like most of the other Gym Leaders, she's initially introduced during the Gym Challenge opening ceremony at the [[Motostoke Stadium]]. When the player first arrives in [[Hulbury]], Nessa is not at her Gym. Instead, she's near the town's lighthouse, and the player must talk to her there for her to return to her Gym, where she can be battled. Once the player has defeated [[Kabu]], he, Nessa, and [[Milo]] appear to wish the player and [[Hop]] good luck in the remainder of their Gym Challenge. Later, Nessa also faces the player in the first round of the Champion Cup Finals.

Nessa's interest in {{type|Water}} Pokémon may have been influenced by her parents: her father is a fisher and her mother works in the marketplace. Eventually, she became the Gym Leader of [[Hulbury Stadium|Hulbury Gym]] and a successful model. She also became close friends with [[Sonia]] during the Gym Challenge, and often gives her fresh seafood from Hulbury whenever the two meet up. She claims to be the rival of Milo, the [[Turffield]] Gym Leader, but the latter only sees himself as his own rival. Nessa is known to be a very popular Gym Leader and model. Many people believe she acts differently depending on her role. She is known to be calm and collected, but her competitive spirit and indomitable will lurk just beneath the surface.<ref>https://swordshield.pokemon.com/en-us/people-galar-region/water-gym-leader-nessa/</ref> Given her personality and modeling career, fans were concerned with how Nessa would react to her loss against the {{player}} in the first round of the Champion Cup. Though she still gave the fans a perfect smile, things were not as peaceful within the Gym.

After Nessa's initial defeat, the player is awarded with the {{badge|Water}}, {{TM|36|Whirlpool}}, and the [[List of clothing in Pokémon Sword and Shield|Water Uniform]].

===League Cards===
This is a transcript of the back of Nessa's [[League Card]]s in {{g|Sword and Shield}}.
;Normal League Card
:"Her father is a fisher, and her mother works in the marketplace. Perhaps because of her parents, she grew up playing with {{type|Water}} Pokémon and eventually made it all the way to being a [[Gym Leader]]. She met [[Sonia]] during their [[Galar League|Gym Challenge]], and they continue to be close friends. Nessa often gives Sonia fresh seafood from [[Hulbury]]. She has declared that [[Milo]] of [[Turffield]] is her rival, but Milo responded by saying that his rival is himself."
;Rare League Card
:"Nessa is incredibly popular, both as a Gym Leader and as a model. Many people even think the Gym Leader Nessa and the model Nessa are two different people, since she shows a completely different attitude in each role. She had the misfortune of being defeated in the first match of the Finals, and those who knew of her indomitable nature worried that this would impact her work as a model. Despite her loss, she was still able to give her fans a perfect smile. Things were not nearly as peaceful with her Gym, however... "

===Pokémon===
Nessa keeps her Pokémon in [[Dive Ball]]s.

[[File:Young Nessa TW.png|thumb|250px|left|Young Nessa in Pokémon: Twilight Wings]]

===Pokémon: Twilight Wings===
Nessa made a cameo appearance in ''[[TW01|Letter]]''. She reappeared in another cameo in ''[[TW03|Buddy]]'', where she was seen in the water alongside a {{p|Qwilfish}}.

Nessa appeared more prominently in ''[[TW04|Early-Evening Waves]]'', where she suffered a defeat in the [[Galar League|Champion Cup]] at the hands of [[Milo]]. Afterwards, she was approached by [[Rose]], who implied the loss happened because she was distracted by her simultaneous modeling career. This agitated her, and she vented her frustrations to [[Sonia]]. Later, during a photo shoot, Nessa was reunited with a {{p|Feebas}} she had met as a child, which was now a {{p|Milotic}}. Afterwards, she decided to disregard Rose's words and continue being both a Gym Leader and a model.

In ''[[TW07|Sky]]'', she gave her thoughts about [[Leon]] in an interview.

In ''[[TW08|The Gathering of Stars]]'', she was seen resting at a modeling photoshoot studio when she received an invitation letter for the [[Galarian Star Tournament]]. She was later seen at [[Wyndon Stadium]], walking out onto the field for the tournament's opening ceremony.

====Character====
During the time following her defeat in {{pkmn|battle}}, Nessa felt very concerned about juggling between her dual careers as a Gym Leader and a model. This conflict was amplified by [[Rose]]'s implication that her modeling career was distracting her from her Gym Leader duties. She has a great friendship with Sonia.

===GOTCHA!===
Nessa briefly appeared in [[GOTCHA!]].

==In the manga==
[[File:Nessa Adventures.png|thumb|150px|Nessa in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
===Pokémon Adventures===
Nessa debuted in ''[[PASS03|Chomp!! Defeat Drednaw]]''. She, along with various other Gym Leaders, was first seen reacting to the news that [[Leon]] had endorsed two {{pkmn|Trainer}}s for the [[Galar League|Gym Challenge]].

In ''[[PASS08|Toasty!! Battle Against Toxapex]]'', Nessa faced {{Henry}} in a [[Gym]] {{pkmn|battle}} at [[Hulbury Stadium]] and lost. She later battled {{Casey}} as well, but the injuries her Pokémon sustained in the battle with Henry led to Nessa losing a second time, much to her frustration. After Casey and [[Hop]] completed the first three Galar Gyms, Nessa, [[Milo]], and [[Kabu]] personally congratulated the two for their accomplishment.

In ''[[PASS25|Rumble!! The Horrific Darkest Day]]'', the Gym Leaders gathered at [[Rose Tower]] to find out if [[Rose]] intended on bringing harm to Galar. Nessa went to [[Hammerlocke]] to meet with [[Sonia]], Leon, and [[Raihan]]. They planned to join the others in [[Wyndon]], only for Rose to unleash {{p|Eternatus}} and restart the [[Darkest Day]]. Power Spot lights began appearing all over the region, causing Pokémon to start [[Dynamax]]ing at random. Nessa's group and Henry's group later reunited at the [[Energy Plant]], where they found Rose ecstatic that his plan was a success.

In ''[[PASS27|Shock!! Chairman Rose's Plan]]'', Rose explained he meant no harm to Galar and sent [[Sordward]] and [[Shielbert]] to defeat Eternatus and prevent the Darkest Day from spiraling out of control. Despite their claims of being descendants of the heroes that once stopped the Darkest Day, Sordward and Shielbert were unable to win, forcing Rose to take their place. Oleana explained that Rose's actions were for the benefit of Galar and requested that everyone help stop Eternatus. The group agreed and made their way to the summit, where they found Rose had already been defeated. Nessa, Leon, [[Piers]], [[Hop]], [[Marnie]], Raihan, and [[Melony]] managed to take Eternatus down, only for it to get back up and unleash its Eternamax form.

In [[PASS29]], Eternatus quickly overwhelmed Raihan and the others, only for {{p|Zacian}} and {{p|Zamazenta}} to appear and assist in the battle against the Gigantic Pokémon. They attempted to wield the [[Rusted Sword]] and [[Rusted Shield|Shield]], but the items and Henry were snatched out of the air by Eternatus. Zacian and Zamazenta struck Eternatus at the same time, creating a massive blast of light. By the time the light cleared, Henry, Zacian, Zamazenta, Eternatus had vanished. Nessa and everyone injured during the battle were taken to a hospital to recover from the effects of Eternatus's poison.

In [[PASS35]], after taking special medicine, Nessa and the others began to recover from the effects of the poison. By [[PASS40]], everyone had fully recovered from the poison and were discharged from the hospital. Nessa and the others then set off to help stop the Darkest Day, which had begun once again.

==Trivia==
* Nessa was designed by [[take]].<ref name=takeSWSHCharDesign>[https://twitter.com/_take_oekaki/status/1565902892774871040 Tweet about designing all of the Gym Leaders for Pokémon Sword & Shield]</ref>
* Nessa's uniform number is "049", which can be read in Japanese as {{wp|Japanese wordplay#Goroawase|goroawase}} for 泳ぐ ''oyogu'', meaning "to swim".
* In Nessa's [[Gym]] {{pkmn|battle}} and as a partner in a [[Max Raid Battle]], she uses a male Drednaw. However, in her tournament battle and all future [[rematch]]es, she uses a female Drednaw.
* Nessa's rivalry with [[Milo]], especially given [[Hulbury]] and [[Turffield]]'s real world inspirations, could be based on the rivalry between {{wp|Lancashire}} and {{wp|Yorkshire}} since the {{wp|Wars of the Roses}}.
* Nessa bears some similarities to [[Shelly]], as both have dark skin, blue eyes, black hair with blue highlights, wear rather revealing clothes and specialize in {{type|Water}} Pokémon.

'''Nessa''' (Japanese: '''ルリナ''' ''Rurina'') is a {{wp|model (person)|model}} who is the [[Gym Leader]] of [[Hulbury]]'s [[Gym]], known officially as [[Hulbury Stadium]]. She [[Type expert|specializes]] in {{type|Water}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. She gives the {{badge|Water}} to Trainers who defeat her.

==In the core series games==
Nessa is the second [[Gym Leader]] [[Galar]]ian {{pkmn|Trainer}}s face in their [[Galar League|Gym Challenge]]. Like most of the other Gym Leaders, she's initially introduced during the Gym Challenge opening ceremony at the [[Motostoke Stadium]]. When the player first arrives in [[Hulbury]], Nessa is not at her Gym. Instead, she's near the town's lighthouse, and the player must talk to her there for her to return to her Gym, where she can be battled. Once the player has defeated [[Kabu]], he, Nessa, and [[Milo]] appear to wish the player and [[Hop]] good luck in the remainder of their Gym Challenge. Later, Nessa also faces the player in the first round of the Champion Cup Finals.

Nessa's interest in {{type|Water}} Pokémon may have been influenced by her parents: her father is a fisher and her mother works in the marketplace. Eventually, she became the Gym Leader of [[Hulbury Stadium|Hulbury Gym]] and a successful model. She also became close friends with [[Sonia]] during the Gym Challenge, and often gives her fresh seafood from Hulbury whenever the two meet up. She claims to be the rival of Milo, the [[Turffield]] Gym Leader, but the latter only sees himself as his own rival. Nessa is known to be a very popular Gym Leader and model. Many people believe she acts differently depending on her role. She is known to be calm and collected, but her competitive spirit and indomitable will lurk just beneath the surface.<ref>https://swordshield.pokemon.com/en-us/people-galar-region/water-gym-leader-nessa/</ref> Given her personality and modeling career, fans were concerned with how Nessa would react to her loss against the {{player}} in the first round of the Champion Cup. Though she still gave the fans a perfect smile, things were not as peaceful within the Gym.

After Nessa's initial defeat, the player is awarded with the {{badge|Water}}, {{TM|36|Whirlpool}}, and the [[List of clothing in Pokémon Sword and Shield|Water Uniform]].

===League Cards===
This is a transcript of the back of Nessa's [[League Card]]s in {{g|Sword and Shield}}.
;Normal League Card
:"Her father is a fisher, and her mother works in the marketplace. Perhaps because of her parents, she grew up playing with {{type|Water}} Pokémon and eventually made it all the way to being a [[Gym Leader]]. She met [[Sonia]] during their [[Galar League|Gym Challenge]], and they continue to be close friends. Nessa often gives Sonia fresh seafood from [[Hulbury]]. She has declared that [[Milo]] of [[Turffield]] is her rival, but Milo responded by saying that his rival is himself."
;Rare League Card
:"Nessa is incredibly popular, both as a Gym Leader and as a model. Many people even think the Gym Leader Nessa and the model Nessa are two different people, since she shows a completely different attitude in each role. She had the misfortune of being defeated in the first match of the Finals, and those who knew of her indomitable nature worried that this would impact her work as a model. Despite her loss, she was still able to give her fans a perfect smile. Things were not nearly as peaceful with her Gym, however... "

===Pokémon===
Nessa keeps her Pokémon in [[Dive Ball]]s.

[[File:Young Nessa TW.png|thumb|250px|left|Young Nessa in Pokémon: Twilight Wings]]

===Pokémon: Twilight Wings===
Nessa made a cameo appearance in ''[[TW01|Letter]]''. She reappeared in another cameo in ''[[TW03|Buddy]]'', where she was seen in the water alongside a {{p|Qwilfish}}.

Nessa appeared more prominently in ''[[TW04|Early-Evening Waves]]'', where she suffered a defeat in the [[Galar League|Champion Cup]] at the hands of [[Milo]]. Afterwards, she was approached by [[Rose]], who implied the loss happened because she was distracted by her simultaneous modeling career. This agitated her, and she vented her frustrations to [[Sonia]]. Later, during a photo shoot, Nessa was reunited with a {{p|Feebas}} she had met as a child, which was now a {{p|Milotic}}. Afterwards, she decided to disregard Rose's words and continue being both a Gym Leader and a model.

In ''[[TW07|Sky]]'', she gave her thoughts about [[Leon]] in an interview.

In ''[[TW08|The Gathering of Stars]]'', she was seen resting at a modeling photoshoot studio when she received an invitation letter for the [[Galarian Star Tournament]]. She was later seen at [[Wyndon Stadium]], walking out onto the field for the tournament's opening ceremony.

====Character====
During the time following her defeat in {{pkmn|battle}}, Nessa felt very concerned about juggling between her dual careers as a Gym Leader and a model. This conflict was amplified by [[Rose]]'s implication that her modeling career was distracting her from her Gym Leader duties. She has a great friendship with Sonia.

===GOTCHA!===
Nessa briefly appeared in [[GOTCHA!]].

==In the manga==
[[File:Nessa Adventures.png|thumb|150px|Nessa in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
===Pokémon Adventures===
Nessa debuted in ''[[PASS03|Chomp!! Defeat Drednaw]]''. She, along with various other Gym Leaders, was first seen reacting to the news that [[Leon]] had endorsed two {{pkmn|Trainer}}s for the [[Galar League|Gym Challenge]].

In ''[[PASS08|Toasty!! Battle Against Toxapex]]'', Nessa faced {{Henry}} in a [[Gym]] {{pkmn|battle}} at [[Hulbury Stadium]] and lost. She later battled {{Casey}} as well, but the injuries her Pokémon sustained in the battle with Henry led to Nessa losing a second time, much to her frustration. After Casey and [[Hop]] completed the first three Galar Gyms, Nessa, [[Milo]], and [[Kabu]] personally congratulated the two for their accomplishment.

In ''[[PASS25|Rumble!! The Horrific Darkest Day]]'', the Gym Leaders gathered at [[Rose Tower]] to find out if [[Rose]] intended on bringing harm to Galar. Nessa went to [[Hammerlocke]] to meet with [[Sonia]], Leon, and [[Raihan]]. They planned to join the others in [[Wyndon]], only for Rose to unleash {{p|Eternatus}} and restart the [[Darkest Day]]. Power Spot lights began appearing all over the region, causing Pokémon to start [[Dynamax]]ing at random. Nessa's group and Henry's group later reunited at the [[Energy Plant]], where they found Rose ecstatic that his plan was a success.

In ''[[PASS27|Shock!! Chairman Rose's Plan]]'', Rose explained he meant no harm to Galar and sent [[Sordward]] and [[Shielbert]] to defeat Eternatus and prevent the Darkest Day from spiraling out of control. Despite their claims of being descendants of the heroes that once stopped the Darkest Day, Sordward and Shielbert were unable to win, forcing Rose to take their place. Oleana explained that Rose's actions were for the benefit of Galar and requested that everyone help stop Eternatus. The group agreed and made their way to the summit, where they found Rose had already been defeated. Nessa, Leon, [[Piers]], [[Hop]], [[Marnie]], Raihan, and [[Melony]] managed to take Eternatus down, only for it to get back up and unleash its Eternamax form.

In [[PASS29]], Eternatus quickly overwhelmed Raihan and the others, only for {{p|Zacian}} and {{p|Zamazenta}} to appear and assist in the battle against the Gigantic Pokémon. They attempted to wield the [[Rusted Sword]] and [[Rusted Shield|Shield]], but the items and Henry were snatched out of the air by Eternatus. Zacian and Zamazenta struck Eternatus at the same time, creating a massive blast of light. By the time the light cleared, Henry, Zacian, Zamazenta, Eternatus had vanished. Nessa and everyone injured during the battle were taken to a hospital to recover from the effects of Eternatus's poison.

In [[PASS35]], after taking special medicine, Nessa and the others began to recover from the effects of the poison. By [[PASS40]], everyone had fully recovered from the poison and were discharged from the hospital. Nessa and the others then set off to help stop the Darkest Day, which had begun once again.

==Trivia==
* Nessa was designed by [[take]].<ref name=takeSWSHCharDesign>[https://twitter.com/_take_oekaki/status/1565902892774871040 Tweet about designing all of the Gym Leaders for Pokémon Sword & Shield]</ref>
* Nessa's uniform number is "049", which can be read in Japanese as {{wp|Japanese wordplay#Goroawase|goroawase}} for 泳ぐ ''oyogu'', meaning "to swim".
* In Nessa's [[Gym]] {{pkmn|battle}} and as a partner in a [[Max Raid Battle]], she uses a male Drednaw. However, in her tournament battle and all future [[rematch]]es, she uses a female Drednaw.
* Nessa's rivalry with [[Milo]], especially given [[Hulbury]] and [[Turffield]]'s real world inspirations, could be based on the rivalry between {{wp|Lancashire}} and {{wp|Yorkshire}} since the {{wp|Wars of the Roses}}.

List of character ages

2024-07-11T11:16:19Z

DrBrainIsAwesome: /* Hoenn */They're probably lying about their age

This is a '''list of characters and their confirmed ages''' across the [[Pokémon]] franchise.

==In the core series games==
===Kanto===
* {{ga|Red}} and {{ga|Blue}} are 11 years old as [[Generation I]], and 14 years old as of [[Generation II]].
** Red's age is mentioned, and Blue is said to be the same age as him, in the player's story from the Japanese and English manuals of the Generation I games (except their ages are not mentioned in the English manual of Pokémon Yellow).
**: ''"You are an 11-year-old boy living with your mother. Your rival lives next door to you. [...] He sees you as his rival because you are the same age and height."''
* [[Primo]] is 27 years old as of {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}.
** His age is mentioned in the Japanese song "[[Teach Me, Poké Dude!]]" from the [[Pokémon FireRed & Pokémon LeafGreen: Super Music Collection]].

===Johto===
* {{ga|Ethan}}, {{ga|Kris}}, {{ga|Lyra}}, and {{ga|Silver}} are about the same age.
** The {{tc|Poké Maniac}} in [[Cianwood City]] appears to describe Silver as a "guy about your age with piercing eyes and long hair". This quote is said regardless of who is the current player character.
* [[Pryce]] is over 50 years old.
** The [[Gym guide]] states that Pryce has trained Pokémon for "some 50 years".
* [[Maximo]] is 30 years old as of {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}.
** Maximo's age is not directly stated, but his twin brother Primo was 27 years old in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, set three years earlier before HeartGold and SoulSilver.

===Hoenn===
* Several character ages are mentioned in the {{DL|TV Mauville|Hoenn News Network}} from Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire:
** {{ga|Brendan}} and {{ga|May}} are 12 years old. Brendan's age is mentioned if the player is female, and May's age is mentioned if the player is male.
** [[Wally]] is 10 years old.
** [[Professor Birch]] is 35 years old.
** [[Professor Cozmo]] is 40 years old.
** [[Mr. Stone]] is 52 years old.
** [[Captain Stern]] is 57 years old.
** [[Mr. Briney]] is 72 years old.
* [[Steven Stone]] is 25 years old.
** He mentions his age in Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire:
**: ''"My father is... Well, let me just say that I have been his son for 25 years, and sometimes even I am not sure I understand him fully."''
* [[Aarune]] is 25 years old.
** He mentions his age in Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire:
**: ''"The name's Aarune. Put'er there. Unova-born and twenty-five years old."''
* [[Tabitha]] is 27 years old.
** He mentions his age only in Alpha Sapphire:
**: ''"Hey! I, Tabitha, have only just turned 27! How old do you think I am?! I shall never forgive you!"''
* {{tc|Street Thug}} Hannibal, found on {{rt|123|Hoenn}} in Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, is 54 years old. In the French version, he first claims to be 50 years old and then corrects it to 54.
* [[Battle Maison]] characters from Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire:
** {{tc|Beauty}} Bunnie pretends to be an adult, but she is 7 years old in the English, Japanese, and Korean versions, 13 years old in the German and Italian versions, or 15 years old in the Spanish version. Conversely, she is 45 years old in the French version, where she is pretending to be younger instead. Considering that her sprite clearly depicts her as a young woman, her statement is most likely untrue.
** {{tc|Rising Star}} Elysia says that she is 39 years old, which also does not match the character's design.
** {{tc|Poké Fan}} Farida is 44 years old.
** {{tc|Artist}} Rufous is 88 years old.

===Sinnoh===
* [[Professor Rowan]] is 60 years old.
** He mentions his age to the player:
**: ''"When you walked up Route 201 with your Pokémon, what did you feel? I've lived for 60 long years. Even now, I get a thrill when I'm with a Pokémon."''
* [[Cyrus]] is 27 years old.
** His age is mentioned by [[Looker]] in {{game|Platinum}}:
**: ''"...Whew. So, that was Cyrus, the boss of the Team Galactic. Quite the performance, no? Mesmerizing for one of only 27 years old."''

A Festival Farewell?]]'' (the episode she mentions only Pumpkaboo remembered her birthday), making her 26 years old as of XY.

'''Proton''' (Japanese: '''ランス''' ''Lance'') is one of the [[Team Rocket]] {{tc|Executive}}s introduced in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}. In [[Generation II]], Proton's role was filled by two separate characters: an ordinary {{tc|Team Rocket Grunt|Grunt}} in the [[Slowpoke Well]] and an unnamed Executive in the [[Goldenrod Radio Tower]].

==In the core series games==
In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, Proton is first seen and battled in the [[Slowpoke Well]], where [[Team Rocket]] is trying to cut off {{p|Slowpoke}} tails to make a profit. Later, the player meets and battles him for the second time in [[Goldenrod Radio Tower]].

Proton is labeled as the scariest and cruelest of Team Rocket, yet also remains one of the more popular Executives. A Grunt in the Radio Tower admits to how she admires him. Proton seems to be very easily aggravated.

In [[Generation II]], the character of Proton is, in reality, two characters: an ordinary {{tc|Team Rocket Grunt|grunt}} originally taking his place in [[Slowpoke Well]] and a Rocket Executive encountered in the [[Goldenrod Radio Tower]]. These two are amalgamated into Proton for [[Generation IV]], who shares both their single Pokémon.

===Pokémon Adventures===
[[File:Rocket Executives Adventures.png|thumb|220px|Proton and his teammates in Pokémon Adventures]]
Proton appears alongside the other three Executives. He, along with his teammates, take control of Team Rocket from [[Carr]], saying that they will stay true to {{adv|Giovanni}}'s intentions.

While Petrel is tasked on finding the Plates related to {{adv|Arceus}}, Ariana is tasked on stopping intruders from stopping them, Proton is tasked with finding the [[Sinjoh Ruins]]. While Ariana battles {{adv|Crystal}} on {{rt|38|Johto}}, he and the other Executives arrive on the scene. Suddenly, Arceus appears in front of them and Crystal attempts to capture it, shocking the Executives in the process. Despite her tenacity, Crystal ultimately fails in capturing the Pokémon and is sent flying into a tree.

The Executives chase Arceus down and find it battling {{adv|Gold}} at the Ruins of Alph. Once Arceus uses its powers and transports them all to the Sinjoh Ruins, the four Executives restrain Arceus and force it onto the Mystri Stage. Using its great powers, they force Arceus to create the legendary Pokémon {{DL|Pokémon of Myth (Adventures)|Dialga}}, {{DL|Pokémon of Myth (Adventures)|Palkia}}, and {{DL|Pokémon of Myth (Adventures)|Giratina}}.

Believing they have pleased their boss, Giovanni, Proton, Ariana, and Archer begin tearing up. However, Silver distracts them by flying towards the Pokémon so Gold and Crystal can finish off the other legendary Pokémon. Once they do so, Arceus, now freed from its restraints, uses its powers to send Proton and the other Executives flying. During the final battle with Arceus, Proton stayed away from the fight by hiding behind a rock with his teammates. After the battle had ended, Proton left with the other Team Rocket members and {{adv|Giovanni}}.

==Trivia==
* Proton's name was changed in the English, Spanish, and Italian localizations of {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, presumably due to his original name matching that of [[Lance]], who is present in the same games.

A '''Roughneck''' (Japanese: '''スキンヘッズ''' ''Skinheads''), known as a '''Cue Ball''' until [[Generation IV]], is a type of [[Pokémon Trainer]] introduced in [[Generation I]]. They appear as bald men wearing leather jackets. Roughnecks can be commonly found in the vicinity of {{tc|Biker}}s and, in [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], {{tc|Punk Guy}}s. In [[Sinnoh]], they have a {{p|Gyarados}} on the back of their vest; in [[Unova]], they have a {{p|Krookodile}}. Cue Ball may be referring to their bald heads, which can resemble white billiards balls.

They are sometimes depicted as being affiliated with [[Team Rocket]].

When paired with {{tc|Biker}}s in [[Double Battle]]s, they are called {{tc|Hooligans}}.

They specialize in {{type|Fighting}} Pokémon in Generations I and III, and in {{type|Dark}} in Generation V. In the [[Battle Subway]], they specialize in Pokémon with [[one-hit knockout move]]s and, in the early stages, Dark- and Fighting-type Pokémon.

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

==Trivia==
* In [[Generation I]], a Cue Ball can be found swimming in {{rt|21|Kanto}}. He does not appear in future [[generation]]s other than [[Generation VII]], in which he does not swim.
* In {{3v2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}} and {{pkmn|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}}, Roughneck Kirby in the [[Lost Tower]] uses only one Pokémon; a {{p|Cleffa}}. This is highly contradictory to the established archetype for this Trainer class, as well as his name that fans consider to {{wk|Kirby|go along with his Pokémon}}.
** However, he does mention that he is in the Lost Tower because his Pokémon died at the hands of [[Team Galactic]], and Cleffa is the only one he has left.
** Also, in Pokémon Platinum, one of the Roughnecks that can be fought in the {{Gdis|Battle Frontier|IV}} expresses a dislike towards having Pokémon fight each other.
* The Japanese name of this Trainer class refers to the {{wp|Skinhead|Skinhead subculture}}, which is now often associated with racist and {{wp|Neo-Nazism|Neo-Nazi}} beliefs. This is likely why the name was changed for international releases.
* The Cue Balls in Generation I and III use the {{tc|Biker}}s' overworld sprite, which, contrarily to the name of the trainer class, depicts them with hair.

A '''Roughneck''' (Japanese: '''スキンヘッズ''' ''Skinheads''), known as a '''Cue Ball''' until [[Generation IV]], is a type of [[Pokémon Trainer]] introduced in [[Generation I]]. They appear as bald men wearing leather jackets. Roughnecks can be commonly found in the vicinity of {{tc|Biker}}s and, in [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], {{tc|Punk Guy}}s. In [[Sinnoh]], they have a {{p|Gyarados}} on the back of their vest; in [[Unova]], they have a {{p|Krookodile}}. Cue Ball may be referring to their bald heads, which can resemble white billiards balls.

They are sometimes depicted as being affiliated with [[Team Rocket]].

When paired with {{tc|Biker}}s in [[Double Battle]]s, they are called {{tc|Hooligans}}.

They specialize in {{type|Fighting}} Pokémon in Generations I and III, and in {{type|Dark}} in Generation V. In the [[Battle Subway]], they specialize in Pokémon with [[one-hit knockout move]]s and, in the early stages, Dark- and Fighting-type Pokémon.

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

==Trivia==
* In [[Generation I]], a Cue Ball can be found swimming in {{rt|21|Kanto}}. He does not appear in future [[generation]]s other than [[Generation VII]], in which he does not swim.
* In {{3v2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}} and {{pkmn|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}}, Roughneck Kirby in the [[Lost Tower]] uses only one Pokémon; a {{p|Cleffa}}. This is highly contradictory to the established archetype for this Trainer class, as well as his name that fans consider to {{wk|Kirby|go along with his Pokémon}}.
** However, he does mention that he is in the Lost Tower because his Pokémon died at the hands of [[Team Galactic]], and Cleffa is the only one he has left.
** Also, in Pokémon Platinum, one of the Roughnecks that can be fought in the {{Gdis|Battle Frontier|IV}} expresses a dislike towards having Pokémon fight each other.
* The Japanese name of this Trainer class refers to the {{wp|Skinhead|Skinhead subculture}}, which is now often associated with racist and {{wp|Neo-Nazism|Neo-Nazi}} beliefs. This is likely why the name was changed for international releases.
* The Cue Balls in Generation I and III use the {{tc|Biker}}s' overworld sprite, which, contrarily to the name of the trainer class,depicts them with hair.

'''New Bark Town''' (Japanese: '''ワカバタウン''' ''Wakaba Town'') is located in southeastern [[Johto]] and is the [[hometown]] of the Johto [[player character]]. It is home to the lab of [[Professor Elm]], who possesses the [[first partner Pokémon]] for Johto: {{p|Chikorita}}, {{p|Cyndaquil}}, and {{p|Totodile}}.

Other than being connected to {{rt|29|Johto}} in the west, it is also the town that must be passed through to reach [[Tohjo Falls]], {{ka|Victory Road}}, and [[Indigo Plateau]], via {{rt|26|Kanto}} and {{rt|27|Kanto}}.

==Slogan==
===Generation II===
'''''The Town Where Winds of a New Beginning Blow''''' (Japanese: '''はじまりを　つげる　かぜがふく　まち''' ''The town where winds of a new beginning blow.'')

===Generation IV===
'''''Winds of a New Beginning''''' (Japanese: '''はじまり　つげる　かぜのまち''' ''The town of winds of a new beginning.'')

==Places of interest==
===Player's house===
{{main|Player's house#Johto|Player's house → Johto}}
[[File:Player Bedroom HGSS.png|left|thumb|200px|The player begins the game in the bedroom]]
In [[Generation]]s {{Gen|II}} and {{Gen|IV}}, this house is where the {{player}} lives before beginning their journey. The {{jo|Mom|player's mother}} lives here, and after the player has left town for the first time, she will save money if the player wishes and occasionally buys decorations for the bedroom, or items such as [[Super Potion]]s.

The player's bedroom is a bit fancier than {{ga|Red}}'s bedroom in {{3v2|Red|Blue|Yellow}}. In Generation II, unlike Red's room, it can also be customized to include several [[Pokémon doll]]s, as well as other [[decoration]]s like beds, game systems, and carpets. The [[Town Map]] hanging on the wall can also be replaced with one of several posters of different Pokémon. However, in Generation IV, this feature is not included.

The player starts the game in their bedroom, in front of their PC and radio. The PC in the top-left corner of the room in Generation II has a few important purposes, but unlike in the Generation I bedroom's computer, it does not contain an item. In Generation IV, the PC is restricted to viewing the player's [[mail]], and the mailbox in the beginning of the game contains a single letter composed by {{ga|Lyra}}/{{ga|Ethan}} (if the player is a boy/girl, respectively), with the following text signed with said person's name and with a {{p|Marill}} icon in the blue stamp box:

:{|
|<ab>ADVENTURE!
EXCITED!

I love POKéMON!</ab>
|}

===Professor Elm's lab===
[[File:Elms lab 1F HGSS.png|thumb|200px|left|Inside Professor Elm's laboratory]]
[[File:Elms lab 2F HGSS.png|thumb|200px|Inside the upstairs living area of Professor Elm's laboratory]]
Professor Elm's laboratory lies right next to the western entrance into New Bark Town. Professor Elm works at his laboratory with his aide, usually doing experiments concerning [[Pokémon Egg]]s and {{pkmn|breeding}}. Here, [[Pokémon Trainer]]s just beginning their quest are given the choice to receive either a {{p|Chikorita}}, a {{p|Cyndaquil}}, or a {{p|Totodile}} from [[Professor Elm]].

Inside is one aide of Professor Elm's, a couple of shelves full of books, a table with three {{i|Poké Ball}}s (a capsule in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}), a computer, and a few tips for the player. There is also a machine here that has the ability to fully rest/restore all of the player's Pokémon, just like a [[Pokémon Center]]. Elm's Aide gives the player one{{sup/2|GSC}}/five{{sup/4|HGSS}} [[Potion]]s when leaving the lab for the first time.

At the beginning of the game, a {{ga|Silver|red-haired young man}} can be seen looking through the window into the lab. If spoken to, he will kick people out of his way, and then continue to spy upon the lab.

In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, Professor Elm's lab has an upstairs living area. His house from {{3v2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}} has now become the home of {{ga|Lyra}} or {{ga|Ethan}}.
{{-}}

===Friend's house===
In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, {{ga|Ethan}} or {{ga|Lyra}} lives in the house below the {{player}}'s house. In {{3v2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}, it was actually Professor Elm's original home.

==Demographics==
===Generation II===
New Bark Town has a population of 10, excluding the player character's rival {{ga|Silver}}.

===Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver===
New Bark Town's population is 11, assuming Silver is not from the town. This makes it the least populated town in Johto. However, it is the first starting Town to break the tradition by being over 10. This low number is likely due to its lack of amenities like a Gym or Pokémon Center, and its isolation from the rest of [[Johto]].

==Walking Pokémon effects==
When interacting with [[walking Pokémon]] in {{v2|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, the Pokémon may occasionally show an altered mood specific to this location.
*The walking Pokémon stretches out its body and relaxes when in this town, causing it to become happy. It also feels nice and sleepy and may doze off.
*Outdoors: The walking Pokémon feels a breeze and stares intently at the sky. It can be surprised by a flower petal or leaf on its face, and sometimes sneezes.
*Player's house: Standing near the player's mom, the walking Pokémon greets her and shows concern for her.
*Player's bedroom: The walking Pokémon sings happily.
*Friend's bedroom: The walking Pokémon wants to play with {{p|Marill}}, even if Marill is not in the room.
*[[Professor Elm]]'s lab: The walking Pokémon fidgets in front of everyone and stares intently at the player's face.

==In the anime==
[[File:New Bark Town anime.png|thumb|250px|New Bark Town in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]
New Bark Town debuted in ''[[EP117|Don't Touch That 'Dile]]'', where {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} visited the laboratory of [[Johto]]'s leading {{pkmn|Professor|Pokémon expert}}, [[Professor Elm]]. The group also helped get Professor Elm's {{p|Totodile}} back from {{TRT}}, who had tried to steal it. After Ash had registered for the [[Johto League]], the group headed for [[Violet City]] for Ash's first [[Johto]] [[Gym]] {{pkmn|battle}}.

New Bark Town reappeared in ''[[EP258|Hatch Me If You Can]]'', where {{Delia}} and {{an|Professor Oak}} boarded a ship and met up with Professor Elm at the town's port. Ash and his friends later returned to the town after Ash had earned all eight Johto [[Badge]]s, allowing him to register for the [[Silver Conference]]. Afterwards, they headed for [[Mt. Silver]] to return the newly hatched {{AP|Larvitar}} to its home before the Silver Conference.

In the anime, New Bark Town is the [[hometown]] of {{jo|Jimmy}}, [[Vincent]], {{an|Casey}}, {{an|Lyra}}, and [[Top Coordinator]] {{jo|Marina}}.

[[File:New Bark Town Adventures.png|thumb|left|250px|New Bark Town in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
===Pokémon Adventures===
In [[Pokémon Adventures]], New Bark Town is shown to be notably bigger than in the games, including amenities such as a general hospital. It is the hometown of {{adv|Gold}}.

===={{MangaArc|Gold, Silver & Crystal}}====
New Bark Town first appeared in ''[[PS091|Murkrow Row]]''. In ''[[PS093|Sneasel Sneak Attack]]'', {{adv|Silver}} sneaked into [[Professor Elm]]'s laboratory and stole his {{TP|Silver|Totodile}}. Gold, mistaking Silver as the thief who had stolen his [[bag|backpack]] [[PS092|earlier]], took [[Exbo|Cyndaquil]] from Elm's desk and gave chase to Silver. However, in ''[[PS094|Elekid Incorporated]]'', the [[Team Rocket Elite Trio]], who had been the real culprits behind the disappearance of Gold's backpack, knocked Gold out and fought Silver to steal Totodile from him. Silver was, however, able to defeat them with Totodile and {{TP|Silver|Sneasel}}, driving the [[Team Rocket]] members away. Gold was later found by {{tc|Police Officer|Policeman}} [[Falkner]], who took him to [[Cherrygrove City]] for questioning.

In ''[[PS096|Number One Donphan]]'', Professor Elm was shown to be in New Bark Town's general hospital after being knocked unconcious during the Totodile theft.

[[File:New Bark Town PM.png|thumb|250px|left|New Bark Town in [[Pokémon Pocket Monsters]]]]
===Pokémon Gold & Silver: The Golden Boys===
New Bark Town appeared in a flashback in ''[[GB01|Let's Go! The Journey Towards The Championship]]'', where Professor Elm asked {{GnB|Gold}} to visit [[Mr. Pokémon]] for him. For his journey, Gold was allowed to choose a [[first partner Pokémon]], with him eventually settling for {{TP|Gold|Totodile}}.

===Pokémon Pocket Monsters===
New Bark Town appeared in ''[[PM062|Welcome Back, Clefairy!!]]'', where {{OBP|Red|Pocket Monsters}} received a [[Pokémon Egg]] from Professor Elm there.
{{-}}

==Trivia==
[[File:HGSS Prerelease New Bark Town.png|thumb|200px|right|First screenshot of {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}]]
* Despite appearing to be farther away from the [[Johto]]-[[Kanto]] border on the [[Pokégear]]'s map, the {{player}}'s house is 7 steps from the border with {{rt|27|Kanto}}, 10 steps closer than the [[Pokémon Center]] at [[Mt. Silver]] is to {{rt|28|Kanto}}, thus making it the closest {{m|Fly}} destination to the border.
* Out of all towns where the player starts, it is the only one to not have a connecting route to the north, but instead to the east and west.
** It is also the only starting town that the player must pass through again after gaining their eighth [[Badge]] on the way to the [[Indigo Plateau]].
* The name of this town started the running theme in which the player's starting town is named after a plant.
* In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, at some point during the player's journey, the first partner Pokémon in Elm's lab that wasn't chosen by the player or stolen by the rival disappears without explanation, although it is hinted to have been given to someone else.
* In HeartGold and SoulSilver, when selecting a first partner Pokémon to receive at Elm's lab, it is possible to see whether each Pokémon is [[shiny]] before committing to the decision. However, the shiny status (if any) is not retained for the Pokémon that is later stolen by the rival.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NC61os9NKUI "I Tested UNCONFIRMED Pokemon Facts 2" - BlueBoyPhin - YouTube]</ref>
* In the [[Pokémon Gold and Silver beta|demo]] of {{game|Gold and Silver|s|Pocket Monsters 2}} showed off at [[Nintendo Space World]] in 1997, the initial town was not New Bark Town but rather a different town named ''Silent Hill'' (サイレントヒル), which may have actually been a prototype design of New Bark Town. The town had a drastically different design, but may have been overhauled during the transition from the [[Game Boy]] to the [[Game Boy Color]]. Due to the first installment of the {{wp|Silent Hill}} horror game series being released about eight months prior to the actual Japanese release of Gold and Silver, in early 1999, it may have possibly led to the rename as ''Wakaba Town'' (ワカバタウン).
** However, "Silent Hill" may also come from the English translation of {{wp|Shizuoka (city)|Shizuoka}}, one of the cities New Bark Town is based on.
* New Bark Town is the series's only starting town to lack a resident exclaiming "Technology is incredible!" or a similar statement.

'''New Bark Town''' (Japanese: '''ワカバタウン''' ''Wakaba Town'') is located in southeastern [[Johto]] and is the [[hometown]] of the Johto [[player character]]. It is home to the lab of [[Professor Elm]], who possesses the [[first partner Pokémon]] for Johto: {{p|Chikorita}}, {{p|Cyndaquil}}, and {{p|Totodile}}.

Other than being connected to {{rt|29|Johto}} in the west, it is also the town that must be passed through to reach [[Tohjo Falls]], {{ka|Victory Road}}, and [[Indigo Plateau]], via {{rt|26|Kanto}} and {{rt|27|Kanto}}.

==Slogan==
===Generation II===
'''''The Town Where Winds of a New Beginning Blow''''' (Japanese: '''はじまりを　つげる　かぜがふく　まち''' ''The town where winds of a new beginning blow.'')

===Generation IV===
'''''Winds of a New Beginning''''' (Japanese: '''はじまり　つげる　かぜのまち''' ''The town of winds of a new beginning.'')

==Places of interest==
===Player's house===
{{main|Player's house#Johto|Player's house → Johto}}
[[File:Player Bedroom HGSS.png|left|thumb|200px|The player begins the game in the bedroom]]
In [[Generation]]s {{Gen|II}} and {{Gen|IV}}, this house is where the {{player}} lives before beginning their journey. The {{jo|Mom|player's mother}} lives here, and after the player has left town for the first time, she will save money if the player wishes and occasionally buys decorations for the bedroom, or items such as [[Super Potion]]s.

The player's bedroom is a bit fancier than {{ga|Red}}'s bedroom in {{3v2|Red|Blue|Yellow}}. In Generation II, unlike Red's room, it can also be customized to include several [[Pokémon doll]]s, as well as other [[decoration]]s like beds, game systems, and carpets. The [[Town Map]] hanging on the wall can also be replaced with one of several posters of different Pokémon. However, in Generation IV, this feature is not included.

The player starts the game in their bedroom, in front of their PC and radio. The PC in the top-left corner of the room in Generation II has a few important purposes, but unlike in the Generation I bedroom's computer, it does not contain an item. In Generation IV, the PC is restricted to viewing the player's [[mail]], and the mailbox in the beginning of the game contains a single letter composed by {{ga|Lyra}}/{{ga|Ethan}} (if the player is a boy/girl, respectively), with the following text signed with said person's name and with a {{p|Marill}} icon in the blue stamp box:

:{|
|<ab>ADVENTURE!
EXCITED!

I love POKéMON!</ab>
|}

===Professor Elm's lab===
[[File:Elms lab 1F HGSS.png|thumb|200px|left|Inside Professor Elm's laboratory]]
[[File:Elms lab 2F HGSS.png|thumb|200px|Inside the upstairs living area of Professor Elm's laboratory]]
Professor Elm's laboratory lies right next to the western entrance into New Bark Town. Professor Elm works at his laboratory with his aide, usually doing experiments concerning [[Pokémon Egg]]s and {{pkmn|breeding}}. Here, [[Pokémon Trainer]]s just beginning their quest are given the choice to receive either a {{p|Chikorita}}, a {{p|Cyndaquil}}, or a {{p|Totodile}} from [[Professor Elm]].

Inside is one aide of Professor Elm's, a couple of shelves full of books, a table with three {{i|Poké Ball}}s (a capsule in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}), a computer, and a few tips for the player. There is also a machine here that has the ability to fully rest/restore all of the player's Pokémon, just like a [[Pokémon Center]]. Elm's Aide gives the player one{{sup/2|GSC}}/five{{sup/4|HGSS}} [[Potion]]s when leaving the lab for the first time.

At the beginning of the game, a {{ga|Silver|red-haired young man}} can be seen looking through the window into the lab. If spoken to, he will kick people out of his way, and then continue to spy upon the lab.

In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, Professor Elm's lab has an upstairs living area. His house from {{3v2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}} has now become the home of {{ga|Lyra}} or {{ga|Ethan}}.
{{-}}

===Friend's house===
In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, {{ga|Ethan}} or {{ga|Lyra}} lives in the house below the {{player}}'s house. In {{3v2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}, it was actually Professor Elm's original home.

==Demographics==
===Generation II===
New Bark Town has a population of 10, excluding the player character's rival {{ga|Silver}}.

===Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver===
New Bark Town's population is 11, assuming Silver is not from the town. This makes it the least populated town in Johto. However, it is the first starting Town to break the tradition by being over 10. This low number is likely due to its lack of amenities like a Gym or Pokémon Center, and its isolation from the rest of [[Johto]].

==Walking Pokémon effects==
When interacting with [[walking Pokémon]] in {{v2|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, the Pokémon may occasionally show an altered mood specific to this location.
*The walking Pokémon stretches out its body and relaxes when in this town, causing it to become happy. It also feels nice and sleepy and may doze off.
*Outdoors: The walking Pokémon feels a breeze and stares intently at the sky. It can be surprised by a flower petal or leaf on its face, and sometimes sneezes.
*Player's house: Standing near the player's mom, the walking Pokémon greets her and shows concern for her.
*Player's bedroom: The walking Pokémon sings happily.
*Friend's bedroom: The walking Pokémon wants to play with {{p|Marill}}, even if Marill is not in the room.
*[[Professor Elm]]'s lab: The walking Pokémon fidgets in front of everyone and stares intently at the player's face.

==In the anime==
[[File:New Bark Town anime.png|thumb|250px|New Bark Town in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]
New Bark Town debuted in ''[[EP117|Don't Touch That 'Dile]]'', where {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} visited the laboratory of [[Johto]]'s leading {{pkmn|Professor|Pokémon expert}}, [[Professor Elm]]. The group also helped get Professor Elm's {{p|Totodile}} back from {{TRT}}, who had tried to steal it. After Ash had registered for the [[Johto League]], the group headed for [[Violet City]] for Ash's first [[Johto]] [[Gym]] {{pkmn|battle}}.

New Bark Town reappeared in ''[[EP258|Hatch Me If You Can]]'', where {{Delia}} and {{an|Professor Oak}} boarded a ship and met up with Professor Elm at the town's port. Ash and his friends later returned to the town after Ash had earned all eight Johto [[Badge]]s, allowing him to register for the [[Silver Conference]]. Afterwards, they headed for [[Mt. Silver]] to return the newly hatched {{AP|Larvitar}} to its home before the Silver Conference.

In the anime, New Bark Town is the [[hometown]] of {{jo|Jimmy}}, [[Vincent]], {{an|Casey}}, {{an|Lyra}}, and [[Top Coordinator]] {{jo|Marina}}.

[[File:New Bark Town Adventures.png|thumb|left|250px|New Bark Town in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
===Pokémon Adventures===
In [[Pokémon Adventures]], New Bark Town is shown to be notably bigger than in the games, including amenities such as a general hospital. It is the hometown of {{adv|Gold}}.

===={{MangaArc|Gold, Silver & Crystal}}====
New Bark Town first appeared in ''[[PS091|Murkrow Row]]''. In ''[[PS093|Sneasel Sneak Attack]]'', {{adv|Silver}} sneaked into [[Professor Elm]]'s laboratory and stole his {{TP|Silver|Totodile}}. Gold, mistaking Silver as the thief who had stolen his [[bag|backpack]] [[PS092|earlier]], took [[Exbo|Cyndaquil]] from Elm's desk and gave chase to Silver. However, in ''[[PS094|Elekid Incorporated]]'', the [[Team Rocket Elite Trio]], who had been the real culprits behind the disappearance of Gold's backpack, knocked Gold out and fought Silver to steal Totodile from him. Silver was, however, able to defeat them with Totodile and {{TP|Silver|Sneasel}}, driving the [[Team Rocket]] members away. Gold was later found by {{tc|Police Officer|Policeman}} [[Falkner]], who took him to [[Cherrygrove City]] for questioning.

In ''[[PS096|Number One Donphan]]'', Professor Elm was shown to be in New Bark Town's general hospital after being knocked unconcious during the Totodile theft.

[[File:New Bark Town PM.png|thumb|250px|left|New Bark Town in [[Pokémon Pocket Monsters]]]]
===Pokémon Gold & Silver: The Golden Boys===
New Bark Town appeared in a flashback in ''[[GB01|Let's Go! The Journey Towards The Championship]]'', where Professor Elm asked {{GnB|Gold}} to visit [[Mr. Pokémon]] for him. For his journey, Gold was allowed to choose a [[first partner Pokémon]], with him eventually settling for {{TP|Gold|Totodile}}.

===Pokémon Pocket Monsters===
New Bark Town appeared in ''[[PM062|Welcome Back, Clefairy!!]]'', where {{OBP|Red|Pocket Monsters}} received a [[Pokémon Egg]] from Professor Elm there.
{{-}}

==Trivia==
[[File:HGSS Prerelease New Bark Town.png|thumb|200px|right|First screenshot of {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}]]
* Despite appearing to be farther away from the [[Johto]]-[[Kanto]] border on the [[Pokégear]]'s map, the {{player}}'s house is 7 steps from the border with {{rt|27|Kanto}}, 10 steps closer than the [[Pokémon Center]] at [[Mt. Silver]] is to {{rt|28|Kanto}}, thus making it the closest {{m|Fly}} destination to the border.
* Out of all towns where the player starts, it is the only one to not have a connecting route to the north, but instead to the east and west.
** It is also the only starting town that the player must pass through again after gaining their eighth [[Badge]] on the way to the [[Indigo Plateau]].
* The name of this town started the running theme in which the player's starting town is named after a plant.
* In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, at some point during the player's journey, the first partner Pokémon in Elm's lab that wasn't chosen by the player or stolen by the rival disappears without explanation, although it is hinted to have been given to someone else.
* In HeartGold and SoulSilver, when selecting a first partner Pokémon to receive at Elm's lab, it is possible to see whether each Pokémon is [[shiny]] before committing to the decision. However, the shiny status (if any) is not retained for the Pokémon that is later stolen by the rival.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NC61os9NKUI "I Tested UNCONFIRMED Pokemon Facts 2" - BlueBoyPhin - YouTube]</ref>
* In the [[Pokémon Gold and Silver beta|demo]] of {{game|Gold and Silver|s|Pocket Monsters 2}} showed off at [[Nintendo Space World]] in 1997, the initial town was not New Bark Town but rather a different town named ''Silent Hill'' (サイレントヒル), which may have actually been a prototype design of New Bark Town. The town had a drastically different design, but may have been overhauled during the transition from the [[Game Boy]] to the [[Game Boy Color]]. Due to the first installment of the {{wp|Silent Hill}} horror game series being released about eight months prior to the actual Japanese release of Gold and Silver, in early 1999, it may have possibly led to the rename as ''Wakaba Town'' (ワカバタウン).
** However, "Silent Hill" may also come from the English translation of {{wp|Shizuoka (city)|Shizuoka}}, one of the cities New Bark Town is based on.
* New Bark Town is the series's only starting town to lack a resident exclaiming that technology is incredible.

'''Katy''' (Japanese: '''カエデ''' ''Kaede'') is a [[Gym Leader]] of [[Cortondo]]'s [[Gym]], known officially as the [[Cortondo Gym]]. She [[Type expert|specializes]] in {{type|Bug}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. She hands out the {{badge|PaldeaBug|Bug Badge}} to {{pkmn|Trainer}}s who defeat her.

==In the core series games==
Besides being a Gym Leader, Katy runs a bakery named Patisserie Soapberry (Japanese: '''ムクロジ''' ''Mukuroji''). She believes that both sweets and Bug-type Pokémon have great power despite their small sizes.<ref>[https://scarletviolet.pokemon.com/en-us/characters/katy/ Katy — Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet | Official Website]</ref> She was trained in the art of baking under the wing of [[Kofu]].

Because her Gym is so close to [[Mesagoza]], where many Trainers begin their [[Pokémon journey]], [[Geeta]] urges Katy to keep her battle style light and easy despite her wanting to go more all out, as evident by her Gym having the lowest-leveled Pokémon in the [[Paldea League]]. After her post-game [[rematch]] with the {{player}}, she has a moment of reflection and decides to step up the difficulty of her Gym to fit her style more.

In addition to the Gym Badge, Katy gives out {{TM|021|Pounce}} after defeating her.

In [[The Indigo Disk]], Katy can be invited to act as a special coach at [[Blueberry Academy]].

==In the anime==
[[File:Katy anime.png|thumb|250px|Katy in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]
===Main series===
Katy appeared in silhouette alongside the other Gym Leaders in [[HZ046]], and was later mentioned as [[Liko]]'s first challenge at [[Terastal Training]].

Katy physically debuted in [[HZ047]] as the owner of Patisserie Soapberry, where [[Murdock]] was working for the time being. Katy set a baking contest between Liko and [[Coral]] to see which one of them would battle her, which Liko won, allowing Liko to battle her. Although Liko lost the battle, Katy still passed Liko due to her mastering the basics of Terastallizing.

[[File:Katy Adventures.png|200px|thumb|Katy in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
===Pokémon Adventures===
Katy debuted in [[PASV06]]. She was first seen watching {{adv|Scarlet}} participate in the [[Cortondo Gym]]'s Olive Roll. Once Scarlet successfully completed the Gym Test, she faced Katy in a Gym battle. Although Scarlet emerged victorious, she rejected the Gym Badge Katy offered her, stating she had no need for it. Instead, Scarlet revealed her profession as a treasure hunter looking for the [[treasures of ruin]] and requested that Katy provide her with any information she might have on them.

==In the TCG==
[[File:KatyScarletViolet237.jpg|200px|thumb|Ultra rare Katy]]
{{main|Katy (Scarlet & Violet 177)}}
'''Katy''' was introduced as a {{TCG|Supporter card}} in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] during the English Scarlet & Violet Series (the Japanese Scarlet & Violet Era). It was first released in the Japanese {{TCG|Violet ex}} expansion and the English {{TCG|Scarlet & Violet}} expansion, with artwork by [[Akira Komayama]]. An {{TCG|ultra rare}} version of the card with artwork by the same illustrator was also included in these sets. It lets players shuffle their hand into their deck, and draw eight cards. This ends the player's turn.
{{-}}

==Trivia==
[[File:SV Reveal Trailer Katy Apron.png|thumb|250px|An apron with the earlier unused design for Katy's logo, as seen in the {{g|Scarlet and Violet}} reveal trailer<ref name=SVTrailer/>]]
* Katy's Japanese Gym Leader title is {{tt|お菓子の虫|Bug of Sweets}}.
* The logo on Katy's apron is notably different in her concept art compared to her final design. An apron with the unused logo is shown prominently in the announcement trailer for {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}.<ref name=SVTrailer>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MAmueMsFR1o Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet | Announcement Trailer - YouTube]</ref>
* Katy has the highest [[Trainer ID number]] (993663) of any NPC in the franchise whose ID number is canonically known, as seen in the [[in-game trade]] she offers in Blueberry Academy's League Club Room.
* Katy is the only [[Paldea]] Gym Leader whose Terastallized Pokémon changes between her initial Gym battle and her rematch battle (due to her {{p|Teddiursa}} having [[Evolution|evolved]] into {{p|Ursaring}}).
** The fact that Katy's Terastallized Pokémon is Teddiursa (and later Ursaring) may allude to common depictions of bears enjoying honey. It may also be a pun on the {{wp|bugbear}}, a mythical creature.
** She is also the only [[Non-player character|NPC]] {{pkmn|Trainer}} to use a Terastallized Pokémon that is not fully evolved in her final team, as Ursaring is unable to evolve into {{p|Ursaluna}} in Scarlet and Violet.

* Katy's hairstyle and the pattern of her hat resemble insects' antennae, while her tight-fitting clothing with a waistband around her somewhat chubby body bears a resemblance to an insect's segmented body.

==In the anime==
===Main series===
[[File:Drake anime.png|thumb|250px|Drake in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]
====''[[Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire]]''====
Drake debuted in ''[[AG101|Vanity Affair]]''. He is a member of the [[Hoenn]] [[Elite Four]] and a ship captain who has sailed all around the {{pkmn|world}}. Drake has an {{tc|Sailor|entire crew}} under his command, and his first mate is [[Fitzwilliam]].

After witnessing {{Ash}} and his {{AP|Torkoal}} defeating another {{pkmn|Trainer}}'s {{p|Scizor}}, Drake met Ash and {{ashfr}} at a restaurant and invited them onto his ship. Once on board, [[Max]] asked Drake to show them his Pokémon, but Drake invited Ash to have a three-on-three [[Pokémon battle]] with him instead. Drake won the match easily, helping Ash realize that he had been overconfident recently. When {{TRT}} attempted to steal {{AP|Pikachu}} after the battle, Drake blasted them off with his {{p|Salamence}}.

After Ash took his Pokémon to the [[Pokémon Center]], Drake invited the group to dine aboard his ship. During the meal, Drake told Ash that he had become too overconfident once and lost many battles because of it. He explained that he eventually found concentrating on the match and freeing himself of "idle thoughts" was critical to being a strong competitor.

====''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]''====
Drake reappeared in ''[[JN088|Looking Out for Number Two!]]'', assisting Ash and [[Goh]] in finding a {{p|Kingdra}} for Goh's [[Project Mew]] [[Field Research|Trial Mission]] in exchange for them helping him out in his treasure hunting hobby by investigating a sunken ancient submersible.

====Character====
Drake is stern and often in deep concentration, which allows him to think clearly during a battle. He takes the time to observe his opponent's strategies, and he challenges out-of-the-box Trainers like Ash. Drake's strategy is dependent on which Pokémon he selects; for example, his {{p|Altaria}}'s wings help it evade and land sneak attacks, whereas his {{p|Shelgon}}'s high {{stat|defense}}s make it ideal for tougher opponents.

He displayed calm yet furious ire against Team Rocket for attempting to steal [[Ash's Pikachu]] and showed no mercy when he sent out his {{p|Salamence}} to punish them and rescue Pikachu from their clutches, demonstrating Drake has no tolerance for Pokémon thieves.

|desc={{p|Shelgon}} is the first Pokémon Drake used to battle {{Ash}}. Ash thought {{AP|Pikachu}}'s speed and powerful attacks would beat the slow Endurance Pokémon, but he did not take into account Shelgon's high defense. Drake's strategy was to calculate the damage from Ash's attack and wait until Pikachu was close enough. As Pikachu tried to use {{m|Iron Tail}}, Shelgon attacked with a powerful Dragon Breath and Dragon Claw combo, winning the round.

It reappeared in ''[[JN088|Looking Out for Number Two!]]'', being by Drake's side for most of the expedition.

Shelgon's known moves are {{m|Double-Edge}}, {{m|Dragon Breath}}, and {{m|Dragon Claw}}.}}

===Pokémon Adventures===
[[File:Hoenn Elite Four Adventures.png|thumb|200px|Drake in Pokémon Adventures]]
{{spoilers}}
====History====
====={{MangaArc|Ruby & Sapphire}}=====
Drake and the other Elite Four members were called by {{Steven}} to help protect the Hoenn region from the battle between {{DL|Super-ancient Pokémon (Adventures)|Groudon}} and {{DL|Super-ancient Pokémon (Adventures)|Kyogre}}. Drake was initially stationed at [[Ancient Tomb]] as part of the plan to unseal {{p|Regirock}}, {{p|Regice}}, and {{p|Registeel}}. When the titans are unsealed, Drake is tasked with controlling Regirock alongside Sidney. The Elite Four, Steven, and Wallace all control the three Pokémon in three pairs of two and use their power to keep the power released from Groudon and Kyogre's battle from spreading throughout Hoenn. They manage to keep the power contained for several weeks, but the strain is too much for Steven and he eventually dies, causing the three Pokémon to lash out and flee. Drake later mourns Steven's death before his revival at the hands of {{adv|Ruby}}'s {{adv|Celebi}}.

====={{MangaArc|Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire}}=====
Drake appears alongside [[Mr. Stone]] and [[Briney]], and it is revealed that the three used to sail together. Drake assists Steven and Mr. Stone in preventing a meteoroid from crashing into the planet. Due to Drake's expertise on Dragon-type Pokémon, he is asked with assisting in investigating the cave paintings in [[Granite Cave]]. Afterward, they travel to [[Sea Mauville]] to use a machine called the [[Ultimate weapon|Absorber]] to power a dimensional shifter that will transport the meteoroid to another location. The process is interrupted by [[Zinnia]] and her small army of former Team Magma and Aqua Grunts. The group attacks to steal and destroy the dimensional shifter, but a {{p|Hoopa}} appears and causes {{adv|Sapphire}} and the shifter to be transported to somewhere else.

Ruby later arrives and manages to convince Zinnia to leave, but reveals that he stole a scroll from her when she wasn't looking. Ruby asks Drake for information on {{DL|Super-ancient Pokémon (Adventures)|Rayquaza}} so that it can be used to stop the meteoroid. Drake agrees and takes everyone to [[Meteor Falls]], where Dragon-type users gather. On their way to Meteor Falls, Hoopa is attacked by [[Blaise]] and {{adv|Amber}}, who manipulate it into summoning Groudon and Kyogre from their resting places. The two super-ancient Pokémon make their way to [[Maxie]] and [[Archie]], who use the restored [[Red Orb|Red]] and [[Blue Orb]]s to revert Groudon and Kyogre into their [[Primal Reversion|Primal]] forms. To test Kyogre's new power, Archie has Kyogre create a giant whirlpool to sink the S.S. Tidal into the sea. After escaping and making their way to shore, Drake, Ultima, and Briney are saved by the Draconids and taken to [[Meteor Village]] to recuperate. As he rests, the Meteor Village {{OBP|Elder|Meteor Village}} recognizes Drake as someone who trained in Meteor Falls in his youth.

Later, Drake, along with various people from around Hoenn, is called to [[Sootopolis City]] to assist in stopping [[Grand Meteor Delta]], a giant meteoroid threatening to destroy the planet. When the plan to attack Grand Meteor Delta starts, Drake and the others have their Pokémon attack the meteoroid at the same time. This, combined with the might of [[Mega Evolution|Mega]] Rayquaza, successfully shatters Grand Meteor Delta into pieces.

'''Erika''' (Japanese: '''エリカ''' ''Erika'') is the [[Gym Leader]] of [[Celadon City]]'s [[Gym]], known officially as the [[Celadon Gym]]. She hands out the {{Badge|Rainbow}} to {{pkmn|Trainer}}s who defeat her in {{pkmn|battle}}. She is a serene young woman who [[Type expert|specializes]] in {{type|Grass}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. She is always dressed in an elegant {{wp|Furisode|kimono}}, and seems to represent traditional Japanese beauty.

==In the core series games==
Erika's title is ''The Nature-Loving Princess''. She is ladylike, and a teacher of flower-arranging. She is a quiet girl, but she's well-known in Celadon City. Erika only collects Pokémon if she considers them attractive, though her definition of attractive seems to include varieties only a botanist could love. She also tends to doze off quite a bit, but will become inspired after a good match.

In addition to the Rainbow Badge, Erika gives out {{TM|21|Mega Drain}}, in {{game3|Red and Blue|Pokémon Red, Blue|s}}, {{game3|Red and Green|Green|s}}, and {{v2|Yellow}}. In {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}, their remakes {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, as well as {{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}}, she gives out {{TM|19|Giga Drain}}. In [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], the reward TM once again contains Mega Drain, but this time is [[TM53]].

She can be battled again in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, after talking to her on Saturday or Sunday between 3:00 PM and 5:00 PM. She is found by [[Celadon City]]'s fountain. If she is called on Sunday morning, she will happily give a rematch at the Fighting Dojo.

Erika also appears in {{B2W2}}, taking part in the [[Pokémon World Tournament]]. She can be faced in the [[Kanto Leaders Tournament|Kanto Leaders]], [[Type Expert Tournament|Type Expert]], and [[World Leaders Tournament]]s.

==In the anime==
===Main series===
[[File:Erika JN.png|thumb|160px|Erika in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]
[[File:Erika anime.png|thumb|left|200px|Erika in the [[original series]]]]
====Pre series====
[[File:Child Erika and Gloom.png|thumb|right|200px|A young Erika]]
Erika’s love for {{type|Grass}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} all began when she was young with her {{p|Gloom}}. While wandering the streets of Celadon City, Erika was ambushed by a wild {{p|Grimer}}, but Gloom intervened and rescued its future Trainer from being attacked.

====[[Original series]]====
Erika appeared in ''[[EP026|Pokémon Scent-sation!]]'', where she runs a perfumery in [[Celadon City]], which sells scents from essences extracted from her garden plants and her Pokémon. It also sells a special brand of perfume made from the essence of her favorite Pokémon, {{p|Gloom}}. {{an|Misty}}, {{an|Brock}}, and {{AP|Pikachu}} were enamored with the scents, but {{Ash}} insulted the perfume. In protest, Erika had him banned from her store and by extension the greenhouse, which also served as the location of the [[Celadon Gym]].

Later, [[Jessie]] and [[James]] were caught trying to steal perfume and were also banned from the Gym. Ash found them and untied them in exchange for help entering the Gym. Disguised as a girl named {{DL|Cross-dressing|Ashley}}, with {{TRT}} [[List of Team Rocket's disguises|disguised as Ashley's parents]], Ash signed up as a student at the Gym. While Erika was reading a fairytale to some Grass Pokémon, Pikachu noticed the eerily familiar Ashley and exposed Ash's disguise. Even so, Erika agreed to his request for a battle.

Erika sent out her {{p|Tangela}} against [[Ash's Bulbasaur]]. Ash quickly recalled Bulbasaur after it was {{status|Paralysis|paralyzed}} by a close-range {{m|Stun Spore}}. {{AP|Charmander}} then defeated Erika's {{p|Weepinbell}} before being overwhelmed by Gloom's scent. However, before the match could continue, it was interrupted when Team Rocket started a fire in the Gym as revenge for being thrown out. While Misty, Brock, and Erika's {{tc|Picnicker|Gym assistants}} worked together to douse the fire, Ash ran into the Gym and successfully rescued Gloom. Out of gratitude, Erika awarded the {{Badge|Rainbow}} to Ash.

She reappeared in flashbacks in the Japanese versions of ''[[EP039|Pikachu's Goodbye]]'' and ''[[EP273|Gotta Catch Ya Later!]]''.

====''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]''====
Erika's silhouette appeared in ''[[JN018|Destination: Coronation!]]'' alongside the other Kanto Gym Leaders as the [[narrator]] explained how the Gym Leader system works in the [[Pokémon world]].

Erika reappeared in ''[[JN094|Suffering the Flings and Arrows!]]'', where she was reunited with Ash. The Celadon Gym had been rebuilt since and Erika again thanked Ash for all his help. She hosted a [[Pokémon Flower Arrangement]] class which Ash attended alongside [[Goh]] and [[Chloe]]. Erika’s class helped [[Goh's Pinsir]] and [[Chloe's Eevee]] improve their confidence.

In ''[[JN135|Heroes Unite!]]'', Erika and Leafeon reappeared in a fantasy, alongside other trainers Chloe and her Eevee met.

====Character====
Erika has is kind hearted and readily accepts students to teach them about being a good {{pkmn|Trainer}} and perfume manufacturing. However, she also possesses a temperamental side, particularly when her perfume is insulted.

She is confident and gracefully composed in {{pkmn|battle}}. Her key strategy to bring out the best in her Pokémon is empathy She uses [[status move]]s like {{m|Stun Spore}} to overwhelm her opponent's Pokémon. This strategy also helped her overcome [[Ash's Charmander]], a {{type|Fire}} with a type advantage against {{type|Grass}} Pokémon.

Though everyone else managed to escape, Gloom was trapped in the Gym and surrounded by flames. Ash rushed into the Gym and rescued Gloom. In gratitude for saving Gloom, Erika gave Ash the {{Badge|Rainbow}}.

===GOTCHA!===
Erika briefly appeared in [[GOTCHA!]].

==In the manga==
===How I Became a Pokémon Card===
[[File:Allergicrocket.png|thumb|200px|Erika with [[Kaede]] in [[How I Became a Pokémon Card]]]]
In [[How I Became a Pokémon Card]], Erika appears in ''[[PW08|Erika and Kaede... and Dark Gloom]]''. She is a childhood friend of [[Kaede]], a [[Team Rocket]] operative with allergies to flowers. Kaede had an unfortunate reaction to a flower wreath Erika gave her at a party and ran off in shame. They met again later when Kaede invaded Erika's Gym on behalf of Team Rocket. Erika was overjoyed to see her old friend and seemed to disregard any and all ill plots.

===Pokémon Adventures===
[[File:Erika Blaine Adventures.png|thumb|200px|left|Erika and Blaine]]
In the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga, Erika is an elegant young princess who gives lectures at universities and practices archery. She is allied with the "good" [[Gym Leader]]s of [[Kanto]], and often assists [[Misty]] and [[Brock]] during crises.

====History====
====={{MangaArc|Red, Green & Blue}}=====
She debuted in ''[[PS019|Blame It on Eevee]]'', where she sent {{adv|Red}} out on a quest to capture an unusual [[Vee|Eevee]] that could [[Devolution|change at will between its three evolved forms]], due to being "modified" in a [[Team Rocket]] experiment. Erika threatened to kill Eevee by removing it from the healing machine Red had put it in; however, it turned out that she was just testing Red's character, and she then revealed her true alliance and saved the Eevee.

====={{MangaArc|Yellow}}=====
Erika then starts teaching at the [[Celadon University]], replacing a dangerous professor. In ''[[PS046|Whacked by Marowak!]]'', she goes to meet {{adv|Yellow}} after hearing about her from Misty, only to hear from one of her teammates that a Red look-alike has been spotted right outside of [[Celadon City]]. [[Pika]] races to him only to find out it was a disguise and the real Trainer, {{adv|Miles}}, was hired by the [[Elite Four]], who then beats her to the ground, threatens to take her life, and uses his {{p|Marowak}}'s {{m|Bonemerang}} laced with some of his {{p|Paras}}'s {{m|Spore}}s to disable Erika while Yellow chases him. She then figures out that to disguise himself as Red, he would've needed to encounter Red's scent in real life and has [[Blaine]] call over for assistance.

She is next seen defending Celadon from [[Lorelei]] and her {{p|Shellder}} and {{p|Cloyster}}. She then realized that the Good Gym Leaders of Kanto were simply being stalled so [[Lance]] could carry out his real plan, and hoped that Yellow and Blaine had found out the same. She also realized that they were being targeted so the Elite Four could get their hands on the Gym Leader's [[Badge]]s, which one of the Shellder finally retrieved from her and Misty.

====={{MangaArc|Gold, Silver & Crystal}}=====
Erika is the supervisor of the Kanto Gym Leaders, meaning that she was automatically pitted against [[Pryce]], the Leader of the [[Johto]] Gym Leaders, in the exhibition tournament held at the [[Indigo Plateau]]. She lost that match and was later lured into the [[Magnet Train]] along with the other Gym Leaders to fight masked {{tc|Team Rocket Grunt}}s. She witnessed Misty's sudden burst of strength and gave her a flower brooch. Erika was on the front half of the train which later was about to crash into a dead end, but Red appeared out of nowhere to stop the train. Erika then lent Red her [[Pokégear]].

Erika appears in ''[[PM010|A Tough Battle With The Powerful Venusaur!!]]''. With her {{p|Venusaur}}, she helps {{OBP|Red|Pocket Monsters}} defeat [[Team Rocket]]. Red and Erika attempt to steal the [[Silph Scope]] from Team Rocket as they guard the Gym searching for Erika and Red. They hide in the bulb of Erika's {{p|Venusaur}} but are eventually exposed due to {{TP|Red|Clefairy}} "passing gas" inside the bulb. Team Rocket captures them, but they eventually escape.

Later, she appears in a performance on stage showing her {{p|Oddish}} in which it evolved into a {{p|Gloom}} and then into a {{p|Vileplume}}, which didn't please the judges.

In the manga, Erika's father is [[Silph Co.]]'s president.

==In the TCG==
[[File:ErikaHospitalityTeamUp174.jpg|thumb|right|200px|[[Full Art]] by [[Sanosuke Sakuma]] for the {{Trading Card Game}}]]
In the {{pkmn|Trading Card Game}}, the card {{TCG ID|Gym Heroes|Erika|16}} allows each player to draw up to three cards. Another card, {{TCG ID|Gym Challenge|Erika's Kindness|103}}, demonstrates her kindness, depicting her as helping a {{p|Growlithe}} out of the rain. {{TCG ID|Gym Heroes|Erika's Maids|109}} enables the player to trade two cards in a hand for two Pokémon in the deck, both with Erika in their names. {{TCG ID|Gym Heroes|Charity|99}} is attached to the player's Active Pokémon, and if that Pokémon is not knocked out, the card returns to the owner's hand; it allows the player to reduce the damage their attacks inflict on the Defending Pokémon. {{TCG ID|Gym Heroes|Erika's Perfume|110}} allows the player to peek at the hand of the opponent and force them to summon any number of basic Pokémon from the hand to the Bench.

As in the anime, she also appears to make fragrances, such as LeAF, depicted on Erika's perfume.

Erika has an {{TCG|Erika|eponymous}} {{TCG|Theme Deck}} in the {{TCG|Gym Heroes}} expansion. Its {{TCG|Tamamushi City Gym|Japanese counterpart}} is based on the Celadon Gym.

==In the TFG==
{{TFG ID|Unnamed Third Set|Erika|39}} was slated to be released as a {{TFG|Trainer figure}} in the {{TFG|Unnamed Third Set}} of the [[Pokémon Trading Figure Game]].

==Trivia==
* Erika's Japanese Leader title is {{tt|自然を愛するお嬢様|Nature-loving Lady}}.
* Erika's {{game|Yellow}} sprite was altered from the original {{pkmn|games}}. The only other significant opponents to be changed were {{ga|Blue}}, [[Brock]], and [[Misty]], based on their prominent {{pkmn|anime}} counterparts.
** The change was made to correct an error with her kimono. In the original sprite, it is crossed right over left, a style reserved for the deceased at funerals; the updated sprite has it properly crossed left over right.
* In every {{pkmn|battle}} against Erika, at least one of her Pokémon knows a {{status|sleep}}-inducing move.
* Erika, along with [[Janine]], are the only [[Kanto]] [[Gym Leader]]s to give the {{player}} a TM upon their defeat in {{3v2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}.
* There were 1,153 episodes between Erika's [[EP026|first appearance]] and [[JN094|second appearance]] in the anime, which is the longest time between a particular [[human]] character's first and second physical appearances within the main series.
* Erika's [[Generation III]] sprite is the only one of her sprites that does not have a {{i|Poké Ball}} in it.
* In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, Erika's {{p|Victreebel}} and {{p|Bellossom}} don't level up in her [[rematch]] team, both remaining at Level 56.
* In {{game|Yellow}}, Erika's {{p|Gloom}} knows {{m|Petal Dance}} at level 32, but level 33 is the earliest that Gloom can learn that move in that generation.
* In Erika's HeartGold and SoulSilver artwork, the heart-shaped crest from the HeartGold logo can be seen in her hairband and obi.
* In HeartGold and SoulSilver, Erika's hairband and obi are red in her official artwork, battle sprite, and VS sprite. However, in her overworld sprite, they are magenta instead.
* Erika is the only Kanto Gym Leader to have the same Japanese and English name, as the name Erika is common in both Japan and the western world.
** Also, Erika's [[Badge]], the Rainbow Badge, is the only Kanto Badge to have the same Japanese and English name.

'''Geeta''' (Japanese: '''オモダカ''' ''Omodaka'') is the chairwoman of the {{pal|Pokémon League}} in [[Paldea]], as well as the chairwoman of [[Naranja Academy|Naranja]]{{sup/9|S}}/[[Uva Academy]]'s{{sup/9|V}} school board. She is Paldea's top {{pkmn|Champion}}-ranked {{pkmn|Trainer}}, and is the only character in the {{pkmn|games}} to have the {{DL|Pokémon Trainer|Trainer class}} '''Top Champion''' (Japanese: '''トップチャンピオン''' ''Top Champion''). Geeta is widely known across Paldea as '''La Primera''' (Japanese: '''トップ''' ''Top''), which derives from her roles as Top Champion and a chairwoman.

==In the core series games==
Geeta has a caring, wise personality and a calm, pragmatic demeanor. Her goal is to help Trainers throughout the region become stronger. She encourages the player’s growth and supports them in their goal to reach Champion rank. She also encourages their friendly rivalry with [[Nemona]], herself a Champion-ranked Trainer. Nemona admires Geeta, who appears fond of her in turn. Geeta empathizes with Nemona’s desire to find a true rival with whom she doesn’t need to hold back. Being Top Champion, Geeta is highly skilled at Pokémon battles, and holds nothing back in battle. Despite being considered the strongest Trainer in Paldea, however, Geeta admits that Nemona's skill may surpass her own, sensing that Nemona was not battling with all her efforts when she defeated Geeta in the Champion Assessment.

As the chairwoman of the Pokémon League, Geeta manages the [[Gym Leader]]s and [[Elite Four]] of Paldea, having handpicked the current Elite Four lineup. However, some of the Gym Leaders working under her disapprove of her management style; [[Larry]], who also works as a businessman for the Pokémon League, explicitly does not like Geeta, with one of the reasons being that she does not allow him to specialize in Normal-types as an Elite Four member. [[Katy]], despite praising Geeta's skill, is dissatisfied with having to go easy on her opponents, with Geeta’s reasoning being that Katy's Gym is closest to the academy and thus will be many students’ first major battle. [[Tulip]], meanwhile, says that “[t]hat bewitching aura of [Geeta's] overlaps too much with my own style.” [[Grusha]] gets nervous during her inspections because being a Gym Leader is all he has left due to his career-ending injury while he was a snowboarder. [[Ryme]] is unhappy that Geeta sends the player to meet with her instead of meeting with her directly, though it is unknown what she usually thinks of Geeta. However, [[Brassius]], [[Iono]], and [[Kofu]] all seem to hold no ill will toward her. Geeta annually inspects the Gyms by battling the Gym Leaders at their full strength.

[[Rika]], on the other hand, praises Geeta’s strength, saying that “You won’t find a mightier Champion.” Additionally, as the chairwoman of the academy's school board, she also designed the first floor of the academy when it was renovated, with a focus on filling it with books.

===Victory Road===
After the player has obtained all eight [[Gym Badges]] and defeated the Elite Four, they can battle Geeta, the Top Champion of Paldea's Pokémon League, on the building's rooftop. The player emerges as a Champion-ranked Trainer upon victory, while Geeta and the Elite Four members congratulate the player. Upon exiting the building, the player is greeted by [[Nemona]], who excitedly asks the player whether they have become a Champion already. She wants to immediately challenge them to battle, but Geeta reminds her that “Champions must be understanding toward their opponents” and advises she let the player rest before finding a more suitable battlefield.

===★ Starfall Street ★===
Geeta is mentioned, but not seen, in this storyline. After the player successfully completes Operation Starfall and reforms Team Star, [[Penny]] confesses to Director [[Clavell]] that she illegally hacked the Pokémon League's [[League Point|LP]] management system to reward them. Clavell brings Geeta to the academy to decide on Penny's consequences. However, the two ultimately praise Penny for her technical skills and Geeta recruits her into voluntarily helping her with engineering for the League, inviting Penny to work there after she graduates.

===Post-game===
After the player's adventure in [[Area Zero]], Clavell and Nemona decide to host a Pokémon battle tournament to test the player's strength as a Champion. Geeta agrees to give the Pokémon League's support in sponsoring the event, but when Nemona invites Geeta to participate, Geeta is initially unable to do so as she is preoccupied by her imminent Gym inspections. The player agrees to do the inspections in Geeta's stead, giving her time to compete in the event, now named the [[Academy Ace Tournament]], appearing as the player's final opponent when it is held for the first time. She can be battled as a random final opponent in subsequent Academy Ace Tournaments.
===The Indigo Disk===
After the player becomes Champion of the BB League, Geeta travels to [[Unova]]'s [[Blueberry Academy]] with Rika to ask the player, [[Carmine]] and [[Kieran]]'s assistance in venturing through [[Area Zero]] with [[Briar]]. She gives the player the [[Indigo Disk]] to access the [[Area Zero Underdepths]] before leaving with Rika. Afterwards, Geeta can be invited back to Blueberry Academy as a special coach, where she can be [[rematch]]ed with an altered team. She may also interact with other Trainers in the [[League Club Room]]; in one instance, Geeta, when talking with [[Poppy]], discovers that Poppy is trying to draw a picture of her, which is a nod to Geeta's [[Appendix:Glossary (Production)|settei]].<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20231217021830/https://twitter.com/Lewchube/status/1736207644665221229</ref>

==In the anime==
[[File:Geeta anime.png|thumb|250px|Geeta in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]
===Main series===
Geeta debuted in [[HZ046]], being introduced as the chairwoman of [[Naranja Academy]]'s school board to [[Liko]], [[Roy]], and [[Dot]]. She and [[Clavell]] explained the [[Terastal Training]] course to the new students and gave the three their own [[Tera Orb]]s. She later watched the battle between Liko and [[Ann]] along with the Paldea [[Elite Four]].

[[File:Rika Poppy Geeta Paldean Winds.png|thumb|250px|Geeta in [[Pokémon: Paldean Winds]]]]
===Pokémon: Paldean Winds===
Geeta appeared in a video in ''[[PPW04|Breathe Together]]'', along with [[Poppy]] and [[Rika]].
{{-}}

==In the TCG==
[[File:GeetaObsidianFlames226.jpg|200px|thumb|Special illustration rare Geeta]]
{{main|Geeta (Obsidian Flames 188)}}
'''Geeta''' was introduced as a {{TCG|Supporter card}} in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] during the English Scarlet & Violet Series (the Japanese Scarlet & Violet Era). It was first released in the Japanese {{TCG|Ruler of the Black Flame}} expansion and the English {{TCG|Obsidian Flames}} expansion, with artwork by [[kirisAki]]. An {{TCG|ultra rare}} version with artwork by the same illustrator and a {{TCG|special illustration rare}} version of the card with artwork by [[DOM]] were released in the same sets. It allows players to search their deck for up to 2 {{TCG|Basic Energy card}}s and attach them to one of their Pokémon; the trade-off, however, is that none of the player's Pokémon can attack after the card is used until the end of that player's turn.
{{-}}

==Trivia==
* Geeta is shown in concept art to be fond of [[Poppy]], giving her candy to keep in her key-shaped purse and spending time with her while Poppy draws.
* Geeta's original team can be seen to represent the different biomes around [[Paldea]]:
** {{p|Espathra}} are found in [[Asado Desert]]
** {{p|Gogoat}} are found in mountainous areas
** {{p|Veluza}} are found in the seas
** {{p|Avalugg}} represents [[Glaseado Mountain]]
** {{p|Kingambit}} represents the bamboo groves of [[North Province (Area Two)]]
** {{p|Glimmora}} are found in [[Area Zero]]
** Geeta's team after completing [[The Indigo Disk]] further represents various biomes:
*** {{p|Dragapult}} are found near lakes and swamps
*** {{p|Chesnaught}} represents Geeta's visit to the [[Terarium]]
* In [[Pokémon HOME]], a [[Research Task (HOME)|Research Task]] titled "The Pokémon of the [[Elite Four]]" that features the final Pokémon on the teams of each member of Paldea's Elite Four also features Glimmora to represent Geeta, implying her to be an Elite Four member, though this is not stated in the games.

'''Diantha''' (Japanese: '''カルネ''' ''Carne'') is a famous and renowned actress who is the {{pkmn|Champion}} of the [[Kalos]] region's [[Kalos League|Pokémon League]] in {{g|X and Y}}. She is the only character in the games to have the {{DL|Pokémon Trainer|Trainer class}} '''{{tc|Grand Duchess}}'''.

==In the core series games==
[[File:Diantha Battle XY.png|thumb|left|250px|Diantha challenging the player]]
Diantha appears in [[Pokémon X and Y]] as a famous movie star and a notable icon across the Kalos region. She is also a {{pkmn|Trainer}}, but shows more interest in other Trainers who have real potential. She takes a special interest in the {{player}} from their first meeting in Café Soleil in [[Lumiose City]] and later when she meets the player again in [[Coumarine City]].

Later, she reappears as the {{pkmn|Champion}} of the [[Kalos]] [[region]].

After registering in the [[Hall of Fame]], Diantha can be found in Café Soleil, where she will ask the player to [[trade]] one of their Pokémon for her {{p|Ralts}} holding the [[Mega Stone]] for {{p|Gardevoir}}, the [[Gardevoirite]].

She will also appear in the [[Battle Chateau]] once the player has reached the highest rank, Grand Duke/Grand Duchess.

==Quotes==
{{main|Diantha/Quotes}}

==In the anime==
===Main series===
====''[[Pokémon the Series: XY]]''====
[[File:Diantha anime.png|thumb|250px|left|Diantha in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]
Diantha debuted in ''[[XY028|The Bonds of Evolution!]]'', where she was shown having an exhibition {{pkmn|battle}} against {{OBP|Magnus|XY028}}. With her {{p|Gardevoir}}, Diantha had very little trouble in defeating her opponent's {{p|Absol}} where it was shown she could direct her Gardevoir through mere eye contact. {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} later encountered Diantha in disguise, trying to get a piece of chocolate cake from a shop. She agreed to have a battle with Ash, but the battle between {{AP|Pikachu}} and Gardevoir was soon interrupted by {{TRT}}, who caught Gardevoir and took it away. With the guidance of Diantha's Key Stone, Ash and his friends were able to find Team Rocket. Diantha then Mega Evolved her Gardevoir into Mega Gardevoir, easily breaking out of its confinement and sending the Rocket trio blasting off again.

She was seen in a fantasy in ''[[XY039|Summer of Discovery!]]'', where it is also revealed that she and Gardevoir participated in the [[Pokémon Summer Camp]] back when Diantha was younger and Gardevoir was a {{p|Ralts}}.

In the beginning of ''[[M17|Diancie and the Cocoon of Destruction]]'', Diantha was battling [[Wikstrom]]. She also appeared in a flashback in ''[[XY068|Garchomp's Mega Bond!]]''.

In ''[[XY118|Championing a Research Battle!]]'', Diantha spoke with [[Olympia]] about the threat that Kalos was to face in the future, during which Olympia showed her a vision of {{p|Zygarde}}. When Olympia mentioned Ash and his friends, Diantha decided to track them down and let them know what she had heard, eventually meeting them in the middle of a training session. When she was informed about the mystical power of Ash and {{AP|Greninja}}, she requested to battle Ash again. Diantha and Gardevoir initially held the upper hand, but as the battle continued Ash and Greninja (which eventually transformed into Ash-Greninja, to Diantha's shock) kept doing better. Diantha eventually decided to get serious and Mega Evolve her Gardevoir. Ash and Greninja, however, managed to perfect their transformation and knocked Gardevoir off its feet. But before the battle could continue, Ash and Greninja both passed out. Team Rocket then tried to get their hands on a weakened Gardevoir, but Diantha easily sent them blasting off again. After thanking Gardevoir for its efforts and making sure Ash and Greninja were okay, Diantha left, but could not help but question the nature of Greninja's transformation and the role Ash and his friends were to play. She also appeared again in another flashback in [[XY119|the following episode]].

Diantha made further appearances since ''[[XY125|A League of His Own!]]'', where she stood in the middle of the [[Lumiose Conference]]'s stadium and welcomed the participants of the Conference. In ''[[XY127|Analysis Versus Passion!]]'' and ''[[XY128|A Riveting Rivalry!]]'', she watched Ash's and [[Sawyer]]'s battle in the semifinal round. In ''[[XY129|Kalos League Passion with a Certain Flare!]]'', she was watching, along with Professor Sycamore, 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. In ''[[XY130|Finals Not for the Faint-Hearted!]]'', she watched the start of Ash and Alain's battle in the final round of the Lumiose Conference; and in ''[[XY131|Down to the Fiery Finish!]]'', she watched the battle's conclusion.

In ''[[XY132|A Towering Takeover!]]'', ''[[XY133|Coming Apart at the Dreams!]]'', and ''[[XY134|The Right Hero for the Right Job!]]'', Diantha was caught up in [[Team Flare]]'s attack on [[Lumiose City]].

In ''[[XY135|Rocking Kalos Defenses!]]'' and ''[[XY136|Forming a More Perfect Union!]]'', Diantha helped destroy the [[Giant Rock]].

She appeared again in a flashback in ''[[XY140|Till We Compete Again!]]''.

====''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]''====
[[File:Diantha and Cynthia.png|thumb|250px|Diantha with Cynthia and Iris]]
In ''[[JN026|Splash, Dash, and Smash for the Crown!]]'', Diantha was on the cover of a magazine read by [[Jessie]].

Diantha, along with her Gardevoir, appeared on a television screen in ''[[JN103|The Future is Now, Thanks to Strategy!]]''.

In ''[[JN109|Aim For The Eight!]]'', Diantha was revealed to be one of the eight competitors in the Master Class of the [[World Coronation Series]], ranked fifth.

In ''[[JN115|Curtain Up! Fight the Fights!]]'', Diantha participated in the [[Masters Eight Tournament]], along with the rest of the Masters Eight, reuniting with Ash, Alain, and Steven, and meeting {{an|Iris}} and the other regional Champions. Her first opponent was chosen to be {{an|Lance}}. While waiting for her match, Diantha accepted Iris's request to have a selfie with her and {{an|Cynthia}}. After {{an|Leon}} and Alain's battle had concluded, Diantha headed to the battlefield to start her battle with Lance. In the [[JN116|next episode]], she emerged victorious in her battle, advancing her to the semifinals to face Leon. Following her victory, Diantha was interviewed by a disguised Team Rocket, where Jessie demanded that she'd use her {{p|Gourgeist}} as her finishing Pokémon in her next match, much to her confusion. In the [[JN117|following]] [[JN118|episodes]], Diantha watched the rest of the quarterfinal matches with the other Masters Eight members.

In ''[[JN122|It's... Champion Time!]]'', Diantha battled Leon in the semi-finals. Despite her best efforts, she was unable to defeat even half of his team before her Pokémon were knocked out. As a result, she was eliminated from the tournament. In [[JN123|the]] [[JN124|following]] [[JN125|episodes]], she joined Leon in the waiting room to watch Cynthia's match against Ash. Prior to doing so, however, she briefly talked with Cynthia in the stadium hallway, and told her that she had faith that Cynthia would be the one to reach the finals and break Leon's winning streak. To her surprise, however, Cynthia confessed that she intended to retire from battling after the tournament was over. After the battle, she met up with Cynthia again, to which the latter revealed her change of heart, much to Diantha's delighted relief.

From ''[[JN129|A Flood of Torrential Gains!]]'' to ''[[JN132|Partners in Time!]]'', she and Cynthia watched Ash's match against Leon. After Ash had defeated Leon and become the World Champion, an excited Diantha expressed her sudden urge to have a battle, which an equally excited Cynthia agreed to have with her right away.

====Character====
Just like in the games, Diantha is a famous movie star. She starred in a movie titled "{{DL|Movies in the Pokémon world|My Sweet, Sweet Lady}}". She is also a fan of desserts, going out of her way to sample the local delicacies whenever she arrives in a new town. Unlike her manager, [[Kathi Lee]], Diantha is much more relaxed and open, always showing warmth to those around her. She views the bond between Trainer and Pokémon to be of the utmost importance for growth. Such focus allows her to communicate to Gardevoir how and when to dodge simply by making eye contact and looking in a certain direction.

In battle, Diantha's strategy varies depending on which Pokémon she currently is battling with, a fact that leads others to describe her as "an enigma." She views a battle as a performance, to which she always displays a high degree of showmanship and elegance. She has an affinity for support and interference moves such as {{m|Light Screen}}, {{m|Reflect}}, and {{m|Trick-or-Treat}} to gain various advantages, combining such tactics with skillful and serene offensive combos. Furthermore, she is highly perceptive, able to decipher an opponent's strategy and attack pattern and instantly form a counterstrategy.

In ''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]'', Diantha is revealed to have a very close friendship with {{an|Cynthia}}.

===Pokémon Adventures===
[[File:Diantha Adventures.png|200px|thumb|Diantha in Pokémon Adventures]]
[[File:Young Diantha Adventures.png|200px|thumb|left|A younger Diantha in her debut film in Pokémon Adventures]]
Diantha debuted in ''[[PS559|Chespin Sows the Seeds of Change]]''. She is one of several people who studied under and received a [[Key Stone]] from [[Gurkinn]]. She is first seen at [[Lysandre Café]] using her [[Mega Evolution|Mega]] {{TP|Diantha|Gardevoir}} to shield {{adv|Y}} and her friends from [[Lysandre]]'s Pokémon. After Lysandre left on other business, Y's excitement at meeting a famous actress attracted the attention of Diantha's fans, forcing everyone to flee out the back door before going their separate ways.

In ''[[PS568|Connecting with Gardevoir]]'', Diantha introduced herself to [[Korrina]], Gurkinn's granddaughter and fellow Mega Evolution Successor. She led Korrina to a nearby river, where Gurkinn was under attack from [[Team Flare]] {{tc|Team Flare Admin|Admin}} Chalmers. After they freed Gurkinn, the trio combined the power of their Mega-Evolved Pokémon to defeat Chalmers. Diantha then revealed she went on vacation from acting to join Gurkinn and Korrina stop the [[Legendary Pokémon]] [[Xerxer|Xerneas]] and {{p|Yveltal}} from falling into Team Flare's clutches.

In ''[[PS574|Tying Trevenant]]'', Diantha, Gurkinn, and Korrina arrived at {{rt|9|Kalos}} to help {{adv|X}} and his friends stop Team Flare from taking Xerneas' tree form to [[Team Flare Secret HQ|Team Flare's base]]. Gurkinn helped X take on [[Emma|Essentia]] while Korrina went ahead to keep [[Celosia]] from transporting Xerneas. Diantha was attacked by [[Malva]], who trapped both of them in a {{m|Magic Room}} to stall for time while Xerneas was moved. Y and {{adv|Shauna}} tried breaking the barrier, but were unable to prevent it from sinking into the ground. Team Flare eventually obtained Xerneas and used it to fuel the [[ultimate weapon]], but the combined efforts of X and his friends weakened the device enough to prevent it from taking any lives. Malva later revealed she defeated Diantha and successfully captured Yveltal, who was sleeping in cocoon form in the ground underneath Xerneas's tree. Due to the Legendary Pokémon being equal in strength, both sides were forced to have a ceasefire.

In ''[[PS582|Pinsir Glares]]'', Diantha was revealed to still be alive, having been hidden underground by {{adv|Blue}} to avoid the ultimate weapon's beam. When Blue revealed he was searching for {{adv|Zygarde}}, a Legendary Pokémon said to be able to suppress Xerneas and Yveltal's power. Diantha agreed to help and the two set off to search for clues to Zygarde's whereabouts. Diantha and Blue traveled to {{rt|15|Kalos}}, where they met up with X and his friends before Diantha went to see Gurkinn at the [[Lost Hotel]]. In ''[[PS586|Zygarde Appears]]'', Diantha and Blue arrived at [[Anistar City]], where they found Zygarde interrupting a battle between X's group and [[Emma|Essentia]]. Before they could land, Essentia managed to catch Zygarde and escape.

In ''[[PS587|Malamar Traps]]'', Diantha, Blue, and X's group set off to confront Team Flare at the [[Pokémon Village]]. Along the way, the group was attacked by [[Xerosic]], who had his {{p|Malamar}} put everyone to sleep with {{m|Hypnosis}}. In ''[[PS590|Yveltal Steals]]'', Diantha was revealed to have woken up and went ahead to village. She was ambushed by Malva, who used her {{p|Talonflame}} to steal Diantha's Mega Charm before taking to the skies. Diantha was assisted by Y, who used her [[Fletchy]] to burn Malva's hand and make her drop the Mega Charm. Y attempted to assist Diantha, but she refused and told Y to let her finish the battle alone. In ''[[PS593|Xerneas Gives]]'', Malva witnessed Lysandre's defeat, distracting her long enough for Diantha's Gardevoir to take down her Talonflame. Diantha tried to rescuing Malva, but was rejected and forced to watch as Malva fell onto the rubble below after failing to save Lysadre. After Team Flare was defeated, Diantha and the remaining [[Elite Four]] members carried Malva's unconscious body away.

In [[PS616]], a younger Diantha was seen at the [[Tower of Mastery]] in a flashback of {{Steven}}'s time as one of Gurkinn's students.

==Trivia==
* Diantha is the only {{pkmn|Champion}} to not use more than one Pokémon of the same [[List of Pokémon by color|color]]. Furthermore, each of her six [[party]] members has a different [[Statistic|stat]] as their highest stat. Her team is as follows: {{p|Hawlucha}} (Green, Speed); {{p|Tyrantrum}} (Red, Attack); {{p|Aurorus}} (Blue, HP); {{p|Gourgeist}} (Brown, Defense); {{p|Goodra}} (Purple, Special Defense); {{p|Gardevoir}} (White, Special Attack).
* The structure of Diantha's team when fought at the Pokémon League is similar to that of {{Steven}}'s team in {{2v|Ruby|Sapphire}} and {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}. Both Champions use a [[pseudo-legendary Pokémon]] and two [[Fossil]] Pokémon introduced in the Generation the Champion debuted, a Flying-type Pokémon that [[List of Pokémon with unique type combinations|had a unique type combination]] in that generation, and a Psychic-type Pokémon capable of [[Mega Evolution]].
* Diantha appears on an electronic billboard on in the background of the {{OBP|Prism Tower|stage}} stage in [[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U|Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS]]. This makes her the only non-playable human [[Pokémon]] character to appear on a [[Super Smash Bros. series|Super Smash Bros.]] stage.
** Because Prism Tower is brought over to [[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]], she is also the only human Pokémon series character, aside from the {{SSB|Pokémon Trainer}}, to make an appearance in that game.
* Diantha's appearance and occupation as an actress seem to be based on {{wp|Audrey Hepburn}}, her spiky hairstyle reminiscent of Audrey Hepburn's style in ''{{wp|Roman Holiday}}'', as well as {{wp|Lisa Simpson}}'s hairstyle.
** Her debut episode features Diantha in a film titled ''My Sweet Lady'', an homage to Hepburn's film ''{{wp|My Fair Lady}}''.

'''Diantha''' (Japanese: '''カルネ''' ''Carne'') is a famous and renowned actress who is the {{pkmn|Champion}} of the [[Kalos]] region's [[Kalos League|Pokémon League]] in {{g|X and Y}}. She is the only character in the games to have the {{DL|Pokémon Trainer|Trainer class}} {{tc|Grand Duchess}}.

==In the core series games==
[[File:Diantha Battle XY.png|thumb|left|250px|Diantha challenging the player]]
Diantha appears in [[Pokémon X and Y]] as a famous movie star and a notable icon across the Kalos region. She is also a {{pkmn|Trainer}}, but shows more interest in other Trainers who have real potential. She takes a special interest in the {{player}} from their first meeting in Café Soleil in [[Lumiose City]] and later when she meets the player again in [[Coumarine City]].

Later, she reappears as the {{pkmn|Champion}} of the [[Kalos]] [[region]].

After registering in the [[Hall of Fame]], Diantha can be found in Café Soleil, where she will ask the player to [[trade]] one of their Pokémon for her {{p|Ralts}} holding the [[Mega Stone]] for {{p|Gardevoir}}, the [[Gardevoirite]].

She will also appear in the [[Battle Chateau]] once the player has reached the highest rank, Grand Duke/Grand Duchess.

==Quotes==
{{main|Diantha/Quotes}}

==In the anime==
===Main series===
====''[[Pokémon the Series: XY]]''====
[[File:Diantha anime.png|thumb|250px|left|Diantha in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]
Diantha debuted in ''[[XY028|The Bonds of Evolution!]]'', where she was shown having an exhibition {{pkmn|battle}} against {{OBP|Magnus|XY028}}. With her {{p|Gardevoir}}, Diantha had very little trouble in defeating her opponent's {{p|Absol}} where it was shown she could direct her Gardevoir through mere eye contact. {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} later encountered Diantha in disguise, trying to get a piece of chocolate cake from a shop. She agreed to have a battle with Ash, but the battle between {{AP|Pikachu}} and Gardevoir was soon interrupted by {{TRT}}, who caught Gardevoir and took it away. With the guidance of Diantha's Key Stone, Ash and his friends were able to find Team Rocket. Diantha then Mega Evolved her Gardevoir into Mega Gardevoir, easily breaking out of its confinement and sending the Rocket trio blasting off again.

She was seen in a fantasy in ''[[XY039|Summer of Discovery!]]'', where it is also revealed that she and Gardevoir participated in the [[Pokémon Summer Camp]] back when Diantha was younger and Gardevoir was a {{p|Ralts}}.

In the beginning of ''[[M17|Diancie and the Cocoon of Destruction]]'', Diantha was battling [[Wikstrom]]. She also appeared in a flashback in ''[[XY068|Garchomp's Mega Bond!]]''.

In ''[[XY118|Championing a Research Battle!]]'', Diantha spoke with [[Olympia]] about the threat that Kalos was to face in the future, during which Olympia showed her a vision of {{p|Zygarde}}. When Olympia mentioned Ash and his friends, Diantha decided to track them down and let them know what she had heard, eventually meeting them in the middle of a training session. When she was informed about the mystical power of Ash and {{AP|Greninja}}, she requested to battle Ash again. Diantha and Gardevoir initially held the upper hand, but as the battle continued Ash and Greninja (which eventually transformed into Ash-Greninja, to Diantha's shock) kept doing better. Diantha eventually decided to get serious and Mega Evolve her Gardevoir. Ash and Greninja, however, managed to perfect their transformation and knocked Gardevoir off its feet. But before the battle could continue, Ash and Greninja both passed out. Team Rocket then tried to get their hands on a weakened Gardevoir, but Diantha easily sent them blasting off again. After thanking Gardevoir for its efforts and making sure Ash and Greninja were okay, Diantha left, but could not help but question the nature of Greninja's transformation and the role Ash and his friends were to play. She also appeared again in another flashback in [[XY119|the following episode]].

Diantha made further appearances since ''[[XY125|A League of His Own!]]'', where she stood in the middle of the [[Lumiose Conference]]'s stadium and welcomed the participants of the Conference. In ''[[XY127|Analysis Versus Passion!]]'' and ''[[XY128|A Riveting Rivalry!]]'', she watched Ash's and [[Sawyer]]'s battle in the semifinal round. In ''[[XY129|Kalos League Passion with a Certain Flare!]]'', she was watching, along with Professor Sycamore, 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. In ''[[XY130|Finals Not for the Faint-Hearted!]]'', she watched the start of Ash and Alain's battle in the final round of the Lumiose Conference; and in ''[[XY131|Down to the Fiery Finish!]]'', she watched the battle's conclusion.

In ''[[XY132|A Towering Takeover!]]'', ''[[XY133|Coming Apart at the Dreams!]]'', and ''[[XY134|The Right Hero for the Right Job!]]'', Diantha was caught up in [[Team Flare]]'s attack on [[Lumiose City]].

In ''[[XY135|Rocking Kalos Defenses!]]'' and ''[[XY136|Forming a More Perfect Union!]]'', Diantha helped destroy the [[Giant Rock]].

She appeared again in a flashback in ''[[XY140|Till We Compete Again!]]''.

====''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]''====
[[File:Diantha and Cynthia.png|thumb|250px|Diantha with Cynthia and Iris]]
In ''[[JN026|Splash, Dash, and Smash for the Crown!]]'', Diantha was on the cover of a magazine read by [[Jessie]].

Diantha, along with her Gardevoir, appeared on a television screen in ''[[JN103|The Future is Now, Thanks to Strategy!]]''.

In ''[[JN109|Aim For The Eight!]]'', Diantha was revealed to be one of the eight competitors in the Master Class of the [[World Coronation Series]], ranked fifth.

In ''[[JN115|Curtain Up! Fight the Fights!]]'', Diantha participated in the [[Masters Eight Tournament]], along with the rest of the Masters Eight, reuniting with Ash, Alain, and Steven, and meeting {{an|Iris}} and the other regional Champions. Her first opponent was chosen to be {{an|Lance}}. While waiting for her match, Diantha accepted Iris's request to have a selfie with her and {{an|Cynthia}}. After {{an|Leon}} and Alain's battle had concluded, Diantha headed to the battlefield to start her battle with Lance. In the [[JN116|next episode]], she emerged victorious in her battle, advancing her to the semifinals to face Leon. Following her victory, Diantha was interviewed by a disguised Team Rocket, where Jessie demanded that she'd use her {{p|Gourgeist}} as her finishing Pokémon in her next match, much to her confusion. In the [[JN117|following]] [[JN118|episodes]], Diantha watched the rest of the quarterfinal matches with the other Masters Eight members.

In ''[[JN122|It's... Champion Time!]]'', Diantha battled Leon in the semi-finals. Despite her best efforts, she was unable to defeat even half of his team before her Pokémon were knocked out. As a result, she was eliminated from the tournament. In [[JN123|the]] [[JN124|following]] [[JN125|episodes]], she joined Leon in the waiting room to watch Cynthia's match against Ash. Prior to doing so, however, she briefly talked with Cynthia in the stadium hallway, and told her that she had faith that Cynthia would be the one to reach the finals and break Leon's winning streak. To her surprise, however, Cynthia confessed that she intended to retire from battling after the tournament was over. After the battle, she met up with Cynthia again, to which the latter revealed her change of heart, much to Diantha's delighted relief.

From ''[[JN129|A Flood of Torrential Gains!]]'' to ''[[JN132|Partners in Time!]]'', she and Cynthia watched Ash's match against Leon. After Ash had defeated Leon and become the World Champion, an excited Diantha expressed her sudden urge to have a battle, which an equally excited Cynthia agreed to have with her right away.

====Character====
Just like in the games, Diantha is a famous movie star. She starred in a movie titled "{{DL|Movies in the Pokémon world|My Sweet, Sweet Lady}}". She is also a fan of desserts, going out of her way to sample the local delicacies whenever she arrives in a new town. Unlike her manager, [[Kathi Lee]], Diantha is much more relaxed and open, always showing warmth to those around her. She views the bond between Trainer and Pokémon to be of the utmost importance for growth. Such focus allows her to communicate to Gardevoir how and when to dodge simply by making eye contact and looking in a certain direction.

In battle, Diantha's strategy varies depending on which Pokémon she currently is battling with, a fact that leads others to describe her as "an enigma." She views a battle as a performance, to which she always displays a high degree of showmanship and elegance. She has an affinity for support and interference moves such as {{m|Light Screen}}, {{m|Reflect}}, and {{m|Trick-or-Treat}} to gain various advantages, combining such tactics with skillful and serene offensive combos. Furthermore, she is highly perceptive, able to decipher an opponent's strategy and attack pattern and instantly form a counterstrategy.

In ''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]'', Diantha is revealed to have a very close friendship with {{an|Cynthia}}.

===Pokémon Adventures===
[[File:Diantha Adventures.png|200px|thumb|Diantha in Pokémon Adventures]]
[[File:Young Diantha Adventures.png|200px|thumb|left|A younger Diantha in her debut film in Pokémon Adventures]]
Diantha debuted in ''[[PS559|Chespin Sows the Seeds of Change]]''. She is one of several people who studied under and received a [[Key Stone]] from [[Gurkinn]]. She is first seen at [[Lysandre Café]] using her [[Mega Evolution|Mega]] {{TP|Diantha|Gardevoir}} to shield {{adv|Y}} and her friends from [[Lysandre]]'s Pokémon. After Lysandre left on other business, Y's excitement at meeting a famous actress attracted the attention of Diantha's fans, forcing everyone to flee out the back door before going their separate ways.

In ''[[PS568|Connecting with Gardevoir]]'', Diantha introduced herself to [[Korrina]], Gurkinn's granddaughter and fellow Mega Evolution Successor. She led Korrina to a nearby river, where Gurkinn was under attack from [[Team Flare]] {{tc|Team Flare Admin|Admin}} Chalmers. After they freed Gurkinn, the trio combined the power of their Mega-Evolved Pokémon to defeat Chalmers. Diantha then revealed she went on vacation from acting to join Gurkinn and Korrina stop the [[Legendary Pokémon]] [[Xerxer|Xerneas]] and {{p|Yveltal}} from falling into Team Flare's clutches.

In ''[[PS574|Tying Trevenant]]'', Diantha, Gurkinn, and Korrina arrived at {{rt|9|Kalos}} to help {{adv|X}} and his friends stop Team Flare from taking Xerneas' tree form to [[Team Flare Secret HQ|Team Flare's base]]. Gurkinn helped X take on [[Emma|Essentia]] while Korrina went ahead to keep [[Celosia]] from transporting Xerneas. Diantha was attacked by [[Malva]], who trapped both of them in a {{m|Magic Room}} to stall for time while Xerneas was moved. Y and {{adv|Shauna}} tried breaking the barrier, but were unable to prevent it from sinking into the ground. Team Flare eventually obtained Xerneas and used it to fuel the [[ultimate weapon]], but the combined efforts of X and his friends weakened the device enough to prevent it from taking any lives. Malva later revealed she defeated Diantha and successfully captured Yveltal, who was sleeping in cocoon form in the ground underneath Xerneas's tree. Due to the Legendary Pokémon being equal in strength, both sides were forced to have a ceasefire.

In ''[[PS582|Pinsir Glares]]'', Diantha was revealed to still be alive, having been hidden underground by {{adv|Blue}} to avoid the ultimate weapon's beam. When Blue revealed he was searching for {{adv|Zygarde}}, a Legendary Pokémon said to be able to suppress Xerneas and Yveltal's power. Diantha agreed to help and the two set off to search for clues to Zygarde's whereabouts. Diantha and Blue traveled to {{rt|15|Kalos}}, where they met up with X and his friends before Diantha went to see Gurkinn at the [[Lost Hotel]]. In ''[[PS586|Zygarde Appears]]'', Diantha and Blue arrived at [[Anistar City]], where they found Zygarde interrupting a battle between X's group and [[Emma|Essentia]]. Before they could land, Essentia managed to catch Zygarde and escape.

In ''[[PS587|Malamar Traps]]'', Diantha, Blue, and X's group set off to confront Team Flare at the [[Pokémon Village]]. Along the way, the group was attacked by [[Xerosic]], who had his {{p|Malamar}} put everyone to sleep with {{m|Hypnosis}}. In ''[[PS590|Yveltal Steals]]'', Diantha was revealed to have woken up and went ahead to village. She was ambushed by Malva, who used her {{p|Talonflame}} to steal Diantha's Mega Charm before taking to the skies. Diantha was assisted by Y, who used her [[Fletchy]] to burn Malva's hand and make her drop the Mega Charm. Y attempted to assist Diantha, but she refused and told Y to let her finish the battle alone. In ''[[PS593|Xerneas Gives]]'', Malva witnessed Lysandre's defeat, distracting her long enough for Diantha's Gardevoir to take down her Talonflame. Diantha tried to rescuing Malva, but was rejected and forced to watch as Malva fell onto the rubble below after failing to save Lysadre. After Team Flare was defeated, Diantha and the remaining [[Elite Four]] members carried Malva's unconscious body away.

In [[PS616]], a younger Diantha was seen at the [[Tower of Mastery]] in a flashback of {{Steven}}'s time as one of Gurkinn's students.

==Trivia==
* Diantha is the only {{pkmn|Champion}} to not use more than one Pokémon of the same [[List of Pokémon by color|color]]. Furthermore, each of her six [[party]] members has a different [[Statistic|stat]] as their highest stat. Her team is as follows: {{p|Hawlucha}} (Green, Speed); {{p|Tyrantrum}} (Red, Attack); {{p|Aurorus}} (Blue, HP); {{p|Gourgeist}} (Brown, Defense); {{p|Goodra}} (Purple, Special Defense); {{p|Gardevoir}} (White, Special Attack).
* The structure of Diantha's team when fought at the Pokémon League is similar to that of {{Steven}}'s team in {{2v|Ruby|Sapphire}} and {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}. Both Champions use a [[pseudo-legendary Pokémon]] and two [[Fossil]] Pokémon introduced in the Generation the Champion debuted, a Flying-type Pokémon that [[List of Pokémon with unique type combinations|had a unique type combination]] in that generation, and a Psychic-type Pokémon capable of [[Mega Evolution]].
* Diantha appears on an electronic billboard on in the background of the {{OBP|Prism Tower|stage}} stage in [[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U|Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS]]. This makes her the only non-playable human [[Pokémon]] character to appear on a [[Super Smash Bros. series|Super Smash Bros.]] stage.
** Because Prism Tower is brought over to [[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]], she is also the only human Pokémon series character, aside from the {{SSB|Pokémon Trainer}}, to make an appearance in that game.
* Diantha's appearance and occupation as an actress seem to be based on {{wp|Audrey Hepburn}}, while her spiky hair resembles that of {{wp|Lisa Simpson}}.

DrBrainIsAwesome: /* Outside of battle */

[[File:Professor Rowan Bag.png|frame|right|[[Professor Rowan]]'s briefcase from {{2v2|Diamond|Pearl}}]]
The '''Bag''' (Japanese: '''バッグ''' ''bag''), referred to on the [[menu]] as '''Item''' (Japanese: '''どうぐ''' ''tool'') in [[Generation I]] and '''Pack''' (Japanese: '''リュック''' ''ruck'') in [[Generation II]], is a vital tool in all [[core series]] [[Pokémon games]]. It holds all of the player's [[item]]s, storing them for later use. By opening the Bag, players can use, arrange, and toss most items, and [[Feature registration|register]] [[Key Item]]s for easy access.

In the [[Help System]] of the [[Generation V]] games, it is called the '''Bag function''' (Japanese: '''バッグの{{ruby|機|き}}{{ruby|能|のう}}''' ''bag function'').
==In the core series==
===Overview===
====Outside of battle====
[[File:SwShBag.png|thumb|200px|right|The Bag menu in [[Pokémon Sword and Shield]]]]
The Bag appears as part of the [[menu|start menu]] in all [[core series]] games, as well as in {{g|Colosseum}} and {{g|XD: Gale of Darkness}}.

All [[items]] that the player has on hand will be located in the Bag and, after [[Generation I]], being placed in the appropriate pocket automatically. Prior to [[Generation IV]], the items pocket had limited spaces for items, while the other pockets had space for any and all items that would go there. The limit is 20 up through {{2v2|Ruby|Sapphire}}, 30 in {{v2|Emerald}}, and 42 in {{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}}. If an item to be picked up would be placed into the items pocket, however, and the pocket was full, it could not be picked up until the player had deposited some items into the [[PC]]. This problem no longer exists in Generation IV and beyond, where all pockets have enough space for every item. The bag in the games can contain items of much greater quantity and size than its physical size would suggest, such as [[Bicycle|bicycles]] and multiple [[Fishing rod|fishing rods]].

Inside of the Bag menu, the player will find a list of all their items, ordered by default from the first kind obtained to the most recently obtained. Players may rearrange these items with the select button, except in the [[Berry|Berries]] and [[TM]]s and [[HM]]s pockets, which are automatically ordered. Depending on the type of item, and sometimes on the item itself, options exist when it is selected that allow players to use the item, throw the item away, [[Feature registration|register]] it to the Select/Y button for use on the field, or have a Pokémon [[held item|hold]] it.

In Generation II-III, if the bag is full, the message will state that the player found an item, but the next message will state that the bag is full. In Generation I, if the bag is full and the player finds an item, it will immediately state that the bag is full.
{{-}}

====In battle====
[[File:Pokémon battle items SM.png|thumb|200px|right|Bag menu during a Pokémon battle in Generation VII.]]
The Bag is also one of the four menu selections during a [[Pokémon battle]], and allows the player to use items that can be used in battle, such as [[Poké Ball]]s, [[Potion]]s, and items like [[X Attack]]. Prior to Generation IV, the Bag menu during battle was the same as that outside of battle, allowing inventory checking of items that are unrelated to battle during it. In Generation IV, however, it became a completely different menu on the touch screen, split into four categories of use:

* [[:Category:HP-restoring items|HP]]/[[:Category:PP-restoring items|PP]] Restore
* [[Status condition healing item|Status Restore]]
* [[Poké Ball]]s
* [[Battle item|Battle Items]]

Using an item while in battle uses up a turn. Prior to Generation VII, this only occurs if the item that the player tries to use has an effect during the battle (for example, attempting to use an [[Hyper Potion]] on the Pokémon while its HP is full will result in the "It won't have any effect" message). In Generation VII, attempting to use an item that would have no effect takes a turn, but does not consume the item. Items cannot be used in linked battles or in facilities such as the [[Battle Tower]].

The item that was last used during battle, if there were multiple copies of it in the Bag, can be easily used again. The selection cursor will remain on it in Generation I-III and VII games, while a shortcut menu will exist at the lower left corner of the screen to the last used item in Generation IV-VI.
{{-}}

===Differences between generations===
While the Bag has remained a consistent part of the menu screen for all generations, significant changes have been made to its structure in each succeeding generation, with most welcomed as improvements.

====Generation I====
In [[Generation I]], the Bag is a list of up to 20 different kinds of items, with no separation into different pockets. The player cannot obtain new items if they do not have room in their Bag. The player can hold up to 99 of each item; if obtaining an item would result in the player having more than 99 of a single item, the excess items are placed in a new stack if the player has room for another item stack in their Bag (otherwise they cannot be obtained). (Some [[glitch]]es, such as [[MissingNo.]]'s [[item duplication glitch]], allow the player to hold up to 255 items in a single Bag slot.)

Due to the limited space in their Bag, additional items can be stored in the [[PC]]'s {{DL|PC|Item Storage System}}. However, if the player's Bag is full, they cannot pick up new items, even if they have room in their Item Storage System, as the player can only move items between their Bag and Item Storage System by using a PC.

Despite the lack of pockets, there is still a distinction between [[Key Item]]s and other items. Key Items have no quantity displayed next to them (since the player can only ever have one instance of each Key Item at a time) and cannot be sold or tossed.

====Generation II====
[[File:Bag artwork.png|thumb|100px|Bag artwork from Pokémon Gold and Silver]]
{{incomplete|section|needs=Whether items can still form new stacks if the first stack exceeds capacity, female and Stadium 2 icons}}
In [[Generation II]], the Bag is now split into four different pockets. There are three specialized pockets for specific types of items, as well as the items pocket for all other items. While the specialized pockets now are each large enough to hold all items of their type, the items pocket still has a size limit, so additional items can be stored in the [[PC]]'s {{DL|PC|Item Storage System}}.

Each pocket can hold up to 20 different types of item, except the [[TM]] and [[HM]] pocket which can hold all 50 TMs and 7 HMs. The player cannot obtain more items if their Bag is full, even if there is room in their PC's Item Storage System.

The player can hold up to 99 of each item. 

Starting in Generation II, each item has a description, which provides the player information about its function.

|}

====Generation III====
{{incomplete|section|needs=Colosseum and XD details}}
In {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}} and [[Pokémon Colosseum]] and {{XD}}, there is one more pocket than in Generation II, the {{Berries}} pocket. In {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, there are three pockets, with the Berries and TMs & HMs pockets being replaced by the [[Key Item]]s the [[Berry Pouch]] and [[TM Case]] respectively. While the specialized pockets are each large enough to hold all items of their type, the items pocket still has a size limit, so additional items can be stored in the [[PC]]'s {{DL|PC|Item Storage System}}.

The items pocket can hold up to 30 different items in Pokémon {{3v2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}} (42 in Pokémon {{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}}). In Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire, Emerald, FireRed, and LeafGreen, the player cannot obtain more items if their Bag is full, even if there is room in their PC's Item Storage System. In Pokémon Colosseum and XD, if the player would obtain an item while their Bag is full, it will be sent to their PC instead.

The player can hold up to 999 of each item. If the player would obtain a number of an item that would cause them to have more than 999 of it in their Bag, they cannot obtain those items. The [[Key Item]]s pocket does not display the item quantity, because the player is unable to find more than one of each Key Item in normal gameplay. However, each Key Item actually has a hidden quantity value in the game data, therefore the Bag is able to store multiple repeated Key Items in the same line as well (like in any other pocket).

The Berries and TMs & HMs pockets, and their counterparts the Berry Pouch and TM Case, have a pre-defined order in which they are always sorted, unlike other pockets. The Berries pocket and Berry Pouch are sorted by Berry number. The TMs & HMs pocket and TM Case are sorted by TM and HM number; the TMs & HMs pocket sorts TMs above HMs, whereas the TM Case sorts HMs above TMs.

In {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}, the player may store Key Items in the [[PC]]. However, this is not possible in [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions|Pokémon FireRed, LeafGreen]], and [[Pokémon Emerald Version|Emerald]]; in these games, all Key Item remains indefinitely in the Bag, except those items that are eventually delivered to [[non-player character|NPCs]].

Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen introduced images of each item, which can be seen from the player's Bag. These images were retained in Pokémon Emerald as well as later generations, but were not used in Pokémon Colosseum and XD.

A visual of the Bag itself is visible while browsing its contents. Male and female player characters have different Bag designs. In {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}, the Bags are yellow; in {{game|Emerald}}, they are green. In the catching tutorials, the {{ka|old man}} and [[Wally]] use the same Bag that the male player would use, even if the player is female. No visual representation of the player's Bag appears in Pokémon Colosseum and XD.

======Battle Pyramid======
In Pokémon Emerald's [[Battle Pyramid]], the player uses the exclusive '''Battle Bag''' to hold items for use in the battle facility. The color of the icon is purple for the Level 50 challenge, and red for the Open Level challenge.

|}

====Generation IV====
The Bag was revamped once again in Generation IV, not only removing the space limit (and making the PC item storage system for items obsolete, resulting in its discontinuation) but also splitting the pockets up further than in Generation III. Three new pockets were split off from the Items pocket, making for a total of eight pockets. The Bags are yellow in Diamond and Pearl, but gray/silver in Platinum.

The player can hold up to 999 of each item. If the player would obtain a number of an item that would cause them to have more than 999 of it in their Bag, they cannot obtain those items.

In {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}, the Bag retained the list-like format from Generation III, with pocket-changing controls as well as a Poké Ball-shaped scrollwheel being present on the bottom screen. {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, by contrast, groups the items into six-cell pages. Additionally these games have Ethan/Lyra holding the bag with the pocket being highlighted, while other games just show pockets.

====Generation V====
In {{2v2|Black|White}}, the Bag was overhauled again, with eight pockets being condensed into five, much like in {{3v2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}. The pockets are called Cases in these games, and are labeled '''Items''', '''Medicine''', '''TMs & HMs''', '''Berries''' and '''Key Items''', with [[Poké Ball]]s, [[Mail]], [[held item]]s and other items all being placed in the ''Items'' pocket. Held items, Mail and Poké Balls are indicated as such by an icon displayed to the immediate left of the item that corresponds to what type of item it is.

The player can hold up to 999 of each item. If the player would obtain a number of an item that would cause them to have more than 999 of it in their Bag, they cannot obtain those items.

In these games, recently acquired items (other than TMs) are added at the top of their respective item list (rather than the bottom, as in previous generations), and players can sort a pocket automatically by pressing Start, in addition to manual sorting with Select.

In {{2v2|Black|White|2}}, a '''Free Space''' section was added to the Bag, and the icon takes on the appearance of a smaller Bag. Players can select items they use most and add them to Free Space for easy access. Manual sorting cannot be performed in this section, and items are always placed in alphabetical order. However, the player can filter the kind of items they want to see with the sorting button.

Unlike in the first pairs, new items go at the bottom of the item list like in previous generations rather than the top, including TMs and HMs. More sorting options were also added.

====Generation VI====
Generation VI saw the least amount of changes to the Bag. Items may be picked up by pressing and holding with the stylus, which allows for manual sorting; Start and Select both open the automatic sorting menu. In addition, the Items slot no longer has icons indicating items' types, though they are still grouped together when automatically sorted.  The Free Space slot from {{B2W2}} was removed, once again giving the Bag five slots, and each slot can be dragged to rearrange the order. A clock icon was also added at the bottom of the screen, which will show a list of the last twelve items used. An icon resembling two arrows rotating between was added at the bottom of the screen, also to open the automatic sorting menu.

The player can hold up to 999 of each item. If the player would obtain a number of an item that would cause them to have more than 999 of it in their Bag, they cannot obtain those items.

While the physical shape of the Bag did not change, it is now possible to customize the color and patterning of the bag due to it being an article of [[List of clothing (X and Y)|clothing]] as a part of [[Trainer customization]]. This is not in [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire]] due to the lack of Trainer customization in those titles, otherwise the bag works functionally the same as it did in [[Pokémon X and Y]].

====Generation VII====
In Generation VII, the Bag retained most of its functions found in Generation VI except for the removal of the clock function and the reordering of pockets. While the five sections from Generation VI remain, two new sections were added.

The '''Free Space''' section, previously seen in {{B2W2}}, makes a return and allows the player to store any items they want from other sections for convenience. A new section called '''Z-Crystals''' is also added, which stores all [[Z-Crystal]]s found in the game. The Z-Crystals section will only be available once the player has obtained a Z-Crystal and the [[Z-Ring]]{{sup/7|SM}} or [[Z-Power Ring]]{{sup/7|USUM}}. Due to the removal of HMs from the games, the '''TMs & HMs''' section has been renamed to '''TMs''' only.

The player can hold up to 999 of each item. If the player would obtain a number of an item that would cause them to have more than 999 of it in their Bag, they cannot obtain those items.

[[Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon]] added a new section called '''Rotom Powers''', which stores {{DL|Rotom Pokédex|Rotom Powers}} received from befriending the [[Rotom Pokédex]]. The Rotom Powers works similarly to [[Pass Power]]s and [[O-Power]]s.

In [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], with far fewer kinds of obtainable items, the bag is overhauled into being essentially a list of items displayed as a grid, similar to that of [[Pokémon Go]]. At the top of the list are eight pockets that are programmed as items that contain other items, like the [[TM Case]] from FireRed and LeafGreen. Many items do not belong in any category, such as [[Key Item]]s, [[valuable item]]s and [[Repel]]s, and are instead listed in the same level as pockets.

====Generation VIII====
In Generation VIII, the Bag retained most of its functions found in Pokémon Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon. The ability to manually reorder items and the Free Space were replaced by the ability to mark an item as favorite and sort a pocket so that favorites are at the top. While the five sections from Generation VI remain, the new sections from Generation VII were removed and four sections were added.

The '''Poké Balls''' and '''Battle Items''' Pockets last seen in the [[Generation IV]] games have returned. The '''Items''' Pocket has been renamed to the '''Other Items''' Pocket, with [[valuable item]]s split off to the new '''Treasures''' Pocket. A new '''Ingredients''' Pocket has also been added, which stores food used to make [[curry]].

The player can hold up to 999 of each item. If the player would obtain a number of an item that would cause them to have more than 999 of it in their Bag, they cannot obtain those items.

In {{g|Sword and Shield}}, the Bag is briefly unavailable from the [[menu]] at the start of the game; the player must pick it up from their room first before leaving their [[Player's house|home]].

{{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}} retain all functionality from {{g|Sword and Shield}}, as well as all pockets with the exception of the Ingredients Pocket. The visual representation of the Bag itself returns from Generation IV, now changing to match the player's current Bag if changed through [[Trainer customization]].

In {{g|Legends: Arceus}}, with far fewer kinds of obtainable items, the bag is overhauled into being essentially a list of items displayed as a grid. At the top of the list are two pockets: one that contain Everyday Items and other for Key Items.

====Generation IX====
In Generation IX, the Bag retained its functions found in Pokémon Sword and Shield. While the nine sections from {{g|Sword and Shield}} remain, a new section was added. The ability to manually reorder items was replaced by the ability to automatically sort items in four different ways:
* Sort by type (Sort by number in TMs)
* Sort by name
* Newest first
* Favorites first

The '''Ingredients''' Pocket has been renamed to the '''Picnic Items''' Pocket, which stores ingredients used to make [[sandwich]]es, sandwich picks and other picnic items. A new '''TM Materials''' Pocket has been added, which stores TM materials to craft [[TM]]s.

The player can hold up to 999 of each item. If the player would obtain a number of an item that would cause them to have more than 999 of it in their Bag, they cannot obtain those items. In the case of the [[Gimmighoul Coin]], the excess quantity of the item is sent to a man in [[Medali]].

In {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}, the Bag is briefly unavailable from the [[menu]] at the start of the game; the player must pick it up after [[Clavell]] enters their [[Player's house|home]].

==In the spin-off games==
{{incomplete|section|Console games (Colo/XD, Oak's lab in the Stadium series).}}
===Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series===
In [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team]], items are stored in the [[Toolbox]]. It has a capacity of 20.

In [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon]]: [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness|Explorers of Time, Darkness]], and [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky|Sky]], items are stored in the [[Treasure Bag]]. It initially has a capacity of 16, being expanded incrementally throughout the story, up to a capacity of 48.

===Pokémon GO===
[[File:GO Bag Upgrade.png|thumb|100px|The Bag in Pokémon GO]]
In {{g|GO}}, the player's Bag initially has a capacity of 350 [[List of items (GO)|items]]. Bag Upgrades can be purchased in the [[PokéCoin|Shop]] for {{PCoin}}200, which expand the capacity by 50 items per upgrade. The maximum upgradeable capacity is 6,800 items.

The player can hold more items than the Bag's capacity if they acquire multiple items at once that put them over the capacity, but if already over capacity, they will not be able to acquire more, such as from [[PokéStop]]s, [[Gift]]s, and Boxes available in the shop. If the player would start a {{OBP|Trainer Battle|GO}} with a full Bag, the game warns the player beforehand that they will not receive any rewards unless they make room. Rewards from {{OBP|Raid Battle|GO}}s, [[Field Research|Field]] or [[Special Research]], [[Adventure Sync]], [[Trainer level|leveling up]], and promotional codes are not affected by the Bag's capacity.

Prior to an update on February 17, 2017, the Bag was also available on the encounter screen, so that it could be used to select the camera, Berries, and other Poké Balls; it has since been replaced by separate buttons for these items.

The maximum upgradeable capacity has increased over time.

===Pokémon Masters EX===
{{main|List of items (Masters)}}
In {{g|Masters EX}}, the bag is accessible from the Poryphone Menu and the [[training area]] menu. There are seven different sections, which are further divided into several categories based on item type.

===Pokémon UNITE===
{{main|List of items (UNITE)}}
In {{g|UNITE}}, the equivalent location is the '''Item Box''', which stores stores almost all of the items the player can obtain in the game. It is divided into Battle Items, Held Items, Prize Packs, Consumable Items, Puzzle Pieces, and Other. The New Items section is dedicated to recently obtained items, and the All section juts displays all items. Some [[currency|currencies]] are treated as items, namely Holowear Tickets, Fashion Tickets, and Item Enhancers.

[[Held items]] can't be interacted with from this menu, instead being managed from the '''Held Items''' menu. Trying to give a Pokémon a Held Item from the Item Box transitions to that menu. However, 7-Day Max Grade Trial Cards can be used from the Item Box on Held items

==In the anime==
{{incomplete|section|Needs information and pictures of all of Ash's traveling companions' Bags}}
[[File:Johanna Dawn Bag.png|thumb|250px|Johanna giving Dawn a small backpack]]
All of the {{ashfr|main characters}} in the {{pkmn|anime}} own a Bag to store their supplies like a sleeping bag or tent, [[outfits]], and [[Poké Ball]]s. Generally, the main characters' Bags have little to do with their {{pkmn|games|game}} counterparts, with {{an|Dawn}} and {{an|Serena}} taking a backpack rather than the actual Bags used by their game counterparts, and Ash's other companions having no Bags in the games.

Unlike other main characters, {{Ash}} carries his Poké Balls on his belt. Ash's Bag in ''[[Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl]]'' is based on {{ga|Lucas}}'s, but colored green instead. During ''[[Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon]]'', {{AP|Rowlet}} tends to rest inside Ash's Bag.

{{an|Misty}} used her pull string style Bag to carry her Poké Balls, sleeping bag, [[Fishing Rod]], and a case full of [[Misty's special lure|lures]]. {{TP|Misty|Togepi}} also preferred to travel and sleep inside Misty's Bag. Misty's later appearances during ''[[Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire]]'' show her owning a {{p|Spheal}} Bag.

The seemingly endless capacity of the characters' Bags can be only be described as the result of [[anime physics]]. By far, {{an|Brock}}'s Bag has been shown to be the most spacious, having a full tea-set and table inside in ''[[EP009|The School of Hard Knocks]]'', as well as containing, presumably, everything he needed to cook meals on the road for his friends. Brock also carried the group's medicinal supplies and maps while they traveled through the [[Kanto]], [[Johto]], [[Hoenn]], and [[Sinnoh]] [[region]]s. His Bag was blue, with only the bedroll being removed during ''[[Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl]]''.

As a [[Pokémon Watcher]], {{Tracey}} carried around numerous sketchbooks, pencils, and a set of binoculars in his orange Bag.

Both of {{an|May}}'s Bags were based on the ones worn by {{ga|May|her game counterpart}} in [[Generation III]]. Throughout ''Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire'', she wore a {{wp|fanny pack|ket Bag}} that stayed on her waist like a belt. It was used to hold her Poke Balls, [[Pokédex]], [[Contest Pass]], and [[Ribbon]]s. During her brief return from ''[[DP075|Our Cup Runneth Over!]]'' to ''[[DP079|Strategy with a Smile!]]'', May was shown to have two Bags, one a green ket Bag and the other a yellow Bag.

[[Max]] carried around a yellow Bag that held his [[PokéNav]].

It was shown in ''[[DP001|Following A Maiden's Voyage!]]'' that Dawn had planned to take a large suitcase full of various [[List of clothing (anime)|clothing and accessories]] with her. However, [[Johanna]] made her leave it at home and gave her a small Bag instead, containing only the items that she would need on her {{pkmn|journey}}.

{{an|Iris}} wore a pink Bag.

{{an|Cilan}} owned a brown Bag, and like Brock, he carried the group's supplies around.

{{an|Serena}} stored her belongings in a pink Bag. Her second Bag had a [[Heal Ball]] design on it.

{{an|Clemont}} stored many of his "[[Clemontic Gear]]" inventions inside his black and white Bag. His younger sister {{an|Bonnie}} wore a yellow satchel-style Bag around her shoulder, which {{TP|Clemont|Dedenne}} and later [[Squishy]] rest in.

{{an|Mallow}}'s schoolbag is based on the [[Forage Bag]].

Both of {{an|Lillie}}'s Bags were based on the ones worn by [[Lillie|her game counterpart]].

[[Goh]] has a brown and black Bag resembling a suitcase. As shown in ''[[JN010|A Test in Paradise!]]'', it has a high capacity to keep his [[Poké Ball]]s.

[[Roy]] has a grayish blue sack bag to hold his belongings. In [[HZ046]], Roy starts wearing a simliar bag but bigger while attending [[Naranja Academy]].

[[Liko]] has a yellow crossbody bag, a black backpack, and a blue bag to hold {{an|Terapagos}} in.

DrBrainIsAwesome: /* Outside of battle */Added information

[[File:Pt bag.png|frame|right|The players' Bags in {{game|Platinum}}]]
[[File:Professor Birch Bag.png|frame|right|[[Professor Birch]]'s bag from {{3v2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}]]
[[File:Professor Rowan Bag.png|frame|right|[[Professor Rowan]]'s briefcase from {{2v2|Diamond|Pearl}}]]
The '''Bag''' (Japanese: '''バッグ''' ''bag''), referred to on the [[menu]] as '''Item''' (Japanese: '''どうぐ''' ''tool'') in [[Generation I]] and '''Pack''' (Japanese: '''リュック''' ''ruck'') in [[Generation II]], is a vital tool in all [[core series]] [[Pokémon games]]. It holds all of the player's [[item]]s, storing them for later use. By opening the Bag, players can use, arrange, and toss most items, and [[Feature registration|register]] [[Key Item]]s for easy access.

In the [[Help System]] of the [[Generation V]] games, it is called the '''Bag function''' (Japanese: '''バッグの{{ruby|機|き}}{{ruby|能|のう}}''' ''bag function'').
==In the core series==
===Overview===
====Outside of battle====
[[File:SwShBag.png|thumb|200px|right|The Bag menu in [[Pokémon Sword and Shield]]]]
The Bag appears as part of the [[menu|start menu]] in all [[core series]] games, as well as in {{g|Colosseum}} and {{g|XD: Gale of Darkness}}.

All [[items]] that the player has on hand will be located in the Bag and, after [[Generation I]], being placed in the appropriate pocket automatically. Prior to [[Generation IV]], the items pocket had limited spaces for items, while the other pockets had space for any and all items that would go there. The limit is 20 up through {{2v2|Ruby|Sapphire}}, 30 in {{v2|Emerald}}, and 42 in {{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}}. If an item to be picked up would be placed into the items pocket, however, and the pocket was full, it could not be picked up until the player had deposited some items into the [[PC]]. This problem no longer exists in Generation IV and beyond, where all pockets have enough space for every item. The bag in the games can contain items of much greater quantity and size than its physical size, such as [[Bicycle|bicycles]] and multiple [[Fishing rod|fishing rods]].

Inside of the Bag menu, the player will find a list of all their items, ordered by default from the first kind obtained to the most recently obtained. Players may rearrange these items with the select button, except in the [[Berry|Berries]] and [[TM]]s and [[HM]]s pockets, which are automatically ordered. Depending on the type of item, and sometimes on the item itself, options exist when it is selected that allow players to use the item, throw the item away, [[Feature registration|register]] it to the Select/Y button for use on the field, or have a Pokémon [[held item|hold]] it.

In Generation II-III, if the bag is full, the message will state that the player found an item, but the next message will state that the bag is full. In Generation I, if the bag is full and the player finds an item, it will immediately state that the bag is full.
{{-}}

====In battle====
[[File:Pokémon battle items SM.png|thumb|200px|right|Bag menu during a Pokémon battle in Generation VII.]]
The Bag is also one of the four menu selections during a [[Pokémon battle]], and allows the player to use items that can be used in battle, such as [[Poké Ball]]s, [[Potion]]s, and items like [[X Attack]]. Prior to Generation IV, the Bag menu during battle was the same as that outside of battle, allowing inventory checking of items that are unrelated to battle during it. In Generation IV, however, it became a completely different menu on the touch screen, split into four categories of use:

* [[:Category:HP-restoring items|HP]]/[[:Category:PP-restoring items|PP]] Restore
* [[Status condition healing item|Status Restore]]
* [[Poké Ball]]s
* [[Battle item|Battle Items]]

Using an item while in battle uses up a turn. Prior to Generation VII, this only occurs if the item that the player tries to use has an effect during the battle (for example, attempting to use an [[Hyper Potion]] on the Pokémon while its HP is full will result in the "It won't have any effect" message). In Generation VII, attempting to use an item that would have no effect takes a turn, but does not consume the item. Items cannot be used in linked battles or in facilities such as the [[Battle Tower]].

The item that was last used during battle, if there were multiple copies of it in the Bag, can be easily used again. The selection cursor will remain on it in Generation I-III and VII games, while a shortcut menu will exist at the lower left corner of the screen to the last used item in Generation IV-VI.
{{-}}

===Differences between generations===
While the Bag has remained a consistent part of the menu screen for all generations, significant changes have been made to its structure in each succeeding generation, with most welcomed as improvements.

====Generation I====
In [[Generation I]], the Bag is a list of up to 20 different kinds of items, with no separation into different pockets. The player cannot obtain new items if they do not have room in their Bag. The player can hold up to 99 of each item; if obtaining an item would result in the player having more than 99 of a single item, the excess items are placed in a new stack if the player has room for another item stack in their Bag (otherwise they cannot be obtained). (Some [[glitch]]es, such as [[MissingNo.]]'s [[item duplication glitch]], allow the player to hold up to 255 items in a single Bag slot.)

Due to the limited space in their Bag, additional items can be stored in the [[PC]]'s {{DL|PC|Item Storage System}}. However, if the player's Bag is full, they cannot pick up new items, even if they have room in their Item Storage System, as the player can only move items between their Bag and Item Storage System by using a PC.

Despite the lack of pockets, there is still a distinction between [[Key Item]]s and other items. Key Items have no quantity displayed next to them (since the player can only ever have one instance of each Key Item at a time) and cannot be sold or tossed.

====Generation II====
[[File:Bag artwork.png|thumb|100px|Bag artwork from Pokémon Gold and Silver]]
{{incomplete|section|needs=Whether items can still form new stacks if the first stack exceeds capacity, female and Stadium 2 icons}}
In [[Generation II]], the Bag is now split into four different pockets. There are three specialized pockets for specific types of items, as well as the items pocket for all other items. While the specialized pockets now are each large enough to hold all items of their type, the items pocket still has a size limit, so additional items can be stored in the [[PC]]'s {{DL|PC|Item Storage System}}.

Each pocket can hold up to 20 different types of item, except the [[TM]] and [[HM]] pocket which can hold all 50 TMs and 7 HMs. The player cannot obtain more items if their Bag is full, even if there is room in their PC's Item Storage System.

The player can hold up to 99 of each item. 

Starting in Generation II, each item has a description, which provides the player information about its function.

|}

====Generation III====
{{incomplete|section|needs=Colosseum and XD details}}
In {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}} and [[Pokémon Colosseum]] and {{XD}}, there is one more pocket than in Generation II, the {{Berries}} pocket. In {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, there are three pockets, with the Berries and TMs & HMs pockets being replaced by the [[Key Item]]s the [[Berry Pouch]] and [[TM Case]] respectively. While the specialized pockets are each large enough to hold all items of their type, the items pocket still has a size limit, so additional items can be stored in the [[PC]]'s {{DL|PC|Item Storage System}}.

The items pocket can hold up to 30 different items in Pokémon {{3v2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}} (42 in Pokémon {{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}}). In Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire, Emerald, FireRed, and LeafGreen, the player cannot obtain more items if their Bag is full, even if there is room in their PC's Item Storage System. In Pokémon Colosseum and XD, if the player would obtain an item while their Bag is full, it will be sent to their PC instead.

The player can hold up to 999 of each item. If the player would obtain a number of an item that would cause them to have more than 999 of it in their Bag, they cannot obtain those items. The [[Key Item]]s pocket does not display the item quantity, because the player is unable to find more than one of each Key Item in normal gameplay. However, each Key Item actually has a hidden quantity value in the game data, therefore the Bag is able to store multiple repeated Key Items in the same line as well (like in any other pocket).

The Berries and TMs & HMs pockets, and their counterparts the Berry Pouch and TM Case, have a pre-defined order in which they are always sorted, unlike other pockets. The Berries pocket and Berry Pouch are sorted by Berry number. The TMs & HMs pocket and TM Case are sorted by TM and HM number; the TMs & HMs pocket sorts TMs above HMs, whereas the TM Case sorts HMs above TMs.

In {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}, the player may store Key Items in the [[PC]]. However, this is not possible in [[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions|Pokémon FireRed, LeafGreen]], and [[Pokémon Emerald Version|Emerald]]; in these games, all Key Item remains indefinitely in the Bag, except those items that are eventually delivered to [[non-player character|NPCs]].

Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen introduced images of each item, which can be seen from the player's Bag. These images were retained in Pokémon Emerald as well as later generations, but were not used in Pokémon Colosseum and XD.

A visual of the Bag itself is visible while browsing its contents. Male and female player characters have different Bag designs. In {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}, the Bags are yellow; in {{game|Emerald}}, they are green. In the catching tutorials, the {{ka|old man}} and [[Wally]] use the same Bag that the male player would use, even if the player is female. No visual representation of the player's Bag appears in Pokémon Colosseum and XD.

====Generation IV====
The Bag was revamped once again in Generation IV, not only removing the space limit (and making the PC item storage system for items obsolete, resulting in its discontinuation) but also splitting the pockets up further than in Generation III. Three new pockets were split off from the Items pocket, making for a total of eight pockets. The Bags are yellow in Diamond and Pearl, but gray/silver in Platinum.

The player can hold up to 999 of each item. If the player would obtain a number of an item that would cause them to have more than 999 of it in their Bag, they cannot obtain those items.

In {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}, the Bag retained the list-like format from Generation III, with pocket-changing controls as well as a Poké Ball-shaped scrollwheel being present on the bottom screen. {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, by contrast, groups the items into six-cell pages. Additionally these games have Ethan/Lyra holding the bag with the pocket being highlighted, while other games just show pockets.

====Generation V====
In {{2v2|Black|White}}, the Bag was overhauled again, with eight pockets being condensed into five, much like in {{3v2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}. The pockets are called Cases in these games, and are labeled '''Items''', '''Medicine''', '''TMs & HMs''', '''Berries''' and '''Key Items''', with [[Poké Ball]]s, [[Mail]], [[held item]]s and other items all being placed in the ''Items'' pocket. Held items, Mail and Poké Balls are indicated as such by an icon displayed to the immediate left of the item that corresponds to what type of item it is.

The player can hold up to 999 of each item. If the player would obtain a number of an item that would cause them to have more than 999 of it in their Bag, they cannot obtain those items.

In these games, recently acquired items (other than TMs) are added at the top of their respective item list (rather than the bottom, as in previous generations), and players can sort a pocket automatically by pressing Start, in addition to manual sorting with Select.

In {{2v2|Black|White|2}}, a '''Free Space''' section was added to the Bag, and the icon takes on the appearance of a smaller Bag. Players can select items they use most and add them to Free Space for easy access. Manual sorting cannot be performed in this section, and items are always placed in alphabetical order. However, the player can filter the kind of items they want to see with the sorting button.

Unlike in the first pairs, new items go at the bottom of the item list like in previous generations rather than the top, including TMs and HMs. More sorting options were also added.

====Generation VI====
Generation VI saw the least amount of changes to the Bag. Items may be picked up by pressing and holding with the stylus, which allows for manual sorting; Start and Select both open the automatic sorting menu. In addition, the Items slot no longer has icons indicating items' types, though they are still grouped together when automatically sorted.  The Free Space slot from {{B2W2}} was removed, once again giving the Bag five slots, and each slot can be dragged to rearrange the order. A clock icon was also added at the bottom of the screen, which will show a list of the last twelve items used. An icon resembling two arrows rotating between was added at the bottom of the screen, also to open the automatic sorting menu.

The player can hold up to 999 of each item. If the player would obtain a number of an item that would cause them to have more than 999 of it in their Bag, they cannot obtain those items.

While the physical shape of the Bag did not change, it is now possible to customize the color and patterning of the bag due to it being an article of [[List of clothing (X and Y)|clothing]] as a part of [[Trainer customization]]. This is not in [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire]] due to the lack of Trainer customization in those titles, otherwise the bag works functionally the same as it did in [[Pokémon X and Y]].

====Generation VII====
In Generation VII, the Bag retained most of its functions found in Generation VI except for the removal of the clock function and the reordering of pockets. While the five sections from Generation VI remain, two new sections were added.

The '''Free Space''' section, previously seen in {{B2W2}}, makes a return and allows the player to store any items they want from other sections for convenience. A new section called '''Z-Crystals''' is also added, which stores all [[Z-Crystal]]s found in the game. The Z-Crystals section will only be available once the player has obtained a Z-Crystal and the [[Z-Ring]]{{sup/7|SM}} or [[Z-Power Ring]]{{sup/7|USUM}}. Due to the removal of HMs from the games, the '''TMs & HMs''' section has been renamed to '''TMs''' only.

The player can hold up to 999 of each item. If the player would obtain a number of an item that would cause them to have more than 999 of it in their Bag, they cannot obtain those items.

[[Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon]] added a new section called '''Rotom Powers''', which stores {{DL|Rotom Pokédex|Rotom Powers}} received from befriending the [[Rotom Pokédex]]. The Rotom Powers works similarly to [[Pass Power]]s and [[O-Power]]s.

In [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], with far fewer kinds of obtainable items, the bag is overhauled into being essentially a list of items displayed as a grid, similar to that of [[Pokémon Go]]. At the top of the list are eight pockets that are programmed as items that contain other items, like the [[TM Case]] from FireRed and LeafGreen. Many items do not belong in any category, such as [[Key Item]]s, [[valuable item]]s and [[Repel]]s, and are instead listed in the same level as pockets.

====Generation VIII====
In Generation VIII, the Bag retained most of its functions found in Pokémon Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun, and Ultra Moon. The ability to manually reorder items and the Free Space were replaced by the ability to mark an item as favorite and sort a pocket so that favorites are at the top. While the five sections from Generation VI remain, the new sections from Generation VII were removed and four sections were added.

The '''Poké Balls''' and '''Battle Items''' Pockets last seen in the [[Generation IV]] games have returned. The '''Items''' Pocket has been renamed to the '''Other Items''' Pocket, with [[valuable item]]s split off to the new '''Treasures''' Pocket. A new '''Ingredients''' Pocket has also been added, which stores food used to make [[curry]].

The player can hold up to 999 of each item. If the player would obtain a number of an item that would cause them to have more than 999 of it in their Bag, they cannot obtain those items.

In {{g|Sword and Shield}}, the Bag is briefly unavailable from the [[menu]] at the start of the game; the player must pick it up from their room first before leaving their [[Player's house|home]].

{{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}} retain all functionality from {{g|Sword and Shield}}, as well as all pockets with the exception of the Ingredients Pocket. The visual representation of the Bag itself returns from Generation IV, now changing to match the player's current Bag if changed through [[Trainer customization]].

In {{g|Legends: Arceus}}, with far fewer kinds of obtainable items, the bag is overhauled into being essentially a list of items displayed as a grid. At the top of the list are two pockets: one that contain Everyday Items and other for Key Items.

====Generation IX====
In Generation IX, the Bag retained its functions found in Pokémon Sword and Shield. While the nine sections from {{g|Sword and Shield}} remain, a new section was added. The ability to manually reorder items was replaced by the ability to automatically sort items in four different ways:
* Sort by type (Sort by number in TMs)
* Sort by name
* Newest first
* Favorites first

The '''Ingredients''' Pocket has been renamed to the '''Picnic Items''' Pocket, which stores ingredients used to make [[sandwich]]es, sandwich picks and other picnic items. A new '''TM Materials''' Pocket has been added, which stores TM materials to craft [[TM]]s.

The player can hold up to 999 of each item. If the player would obtain a number of an item that would cause them to have more than 999 of it in their Bag, they cannot obtain those items. In the case of the [[Gimmighoul Coin]], the excess quantity of the item is sent to a man in [[Medali]].

In {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}, the Bag is briefly unavailable from the [[menu]] at the start of the game; the player must pick it up after [[Clavell]] enters their [[Player's house|home]].

==In the spin-off games==
{{incomplete|section|Console games (Colo/XD, Oak's lab in the Stadium series).}}
===Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series===
In [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team]], items are stored in the [[Toolbox]]. It has a capacity of 20.

In [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon]]: [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness|Explorers of Time, Darkness]], and [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky|Sky]], items are stored in the [[Treasure Bag]]. It initially has a capacity of 16, being expanded incrementally throughout the story, up to a capacity of 48.

===Pokémon GO===
[[File:GO Bag Upgrade.png|thumb|100px|The Bag in Pokémon GO]]
In {{g|GO}}, the player's Bag initially has a capacity of 350 [[List of items (GO)|items]]. Bag Upgrades can be purchased in the [[PokéCoin|Shop]] for {{PCoin}}200, which expand the capacity by 50 items per upgrade. The maximum upgradeable capacity is 6,800 items.

The player can hold more items than the Bag's capacity if they acquire multiple items at once that put them over the capacity, but if already over capacity, they will not be able to acquire more, such as from [[PokéStop]]s, [[Gift]]s, and Boxes available in the shop. If the player would start a {{OBP|Trainer Battle|GO}} with a full Bag, the game warns the player beforehand that they will not receive any rewards unless they make room. Rewards from {{OBP|Raid Battle|GO}}s, [[Field Research|Field]] or [[Special Research]], [[Adventure Sync]], [[Trainer level|leveling up]], and promotional codes are not affected by the Bag's capacity.

Prior to an update on February 17, 2017, the Bag was also available on the encounter screen, so that it could be used to select the camera, Berries, and other Poké Balls; it has since been replaced by separate buttons for these items.

The maximum upgradeable capacity has increased over time.

===Pokémon Masters EX===
{{main|List of items (Masters)}}
In {{g|Masters EX}}, the bag is accessible from the Poryphone Menu and the [[training area]] menu. There are seven different sections, which are further divided into several categories based on item type.

===Pokémon UNITE===
{{main|List of items (UNITE)}}
In {{g|UNITE}}, the equivalent location is the '''Item Box''', which stores stores almost all of the items the player can obtain in the game. It is divided into Battle Items, Held Items, Prize Packs, Consumable Items, Puzzle Pieces, and Other. The New Items section is dedicated to recently obtained items, and the All section juts displays all items. Some [[currency|currencies]] are treated as items, namely Holowear Tickets, Fashion Tickets, and Item Enhancers.

[[Held items]] can't be interacted with from this menu, instead being managed from the '''Held Items''' menu. Trying to give a Pokémon a Held Item from the Item Box transitions to that menu. However, 7-Day Max Grade Trial Cards can be used from the Item Box on Held items

==In the anime==
{{incomplete|section|Needs information and pictures of all of Ash's traveling companions' Bags}}
[[File:Johanna Dawn Bag.png|thumb|250px|Johanna giving Dawn a small backpack]]
All of the {{ashfr|main characters}} in the {{pkmn|anime}} own a Bag to store their supplies like a sleeping bag or tent, [[outfits]], and [[Poké Ball]]s. Generally, the main characters' Bags have little to do with their {{pkmn|games|game}} counterparts, with {{an|Dawn}} and {{an|Serena}} taking a backpack rather than the actual Bags used by their game counterparts, and Ash's other companions having no Bags in the games.

Unlike other main characters, {{Ash}} carries his Poké Balls on his belt. Ash's Bag in ''[[Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl]]'' is based on {{ga|Lucas}}'s, but colored green instead. During ''[[Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon]]'', {{AP|Rowlet}} tends to rest inside Ash's Bag.

{{an|Misty}} used her pull string style Bag to carry her Poké Balls, sleeping bag, [[Fishing Rod]], and a case full of [[Misty's special lure|lures]]. {{TP|Misty|Togepi}} also preferred to travel and sleep inside Misty's Bag. Misty's later appearances during ''[[Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire]]'' show her owning a {{p|Spheal}} Bag.

The seemingly endless capacity of the characters' Bags can be only be described as the result of [[anime physics]]. By far, {{an|Brock}}'s Bag has been shown to be the most spacious, having a full tea-set and table inside in ''[[EP009|The School of Hard Knocks]]'', as well as containing, presumably, everything he needed to cook meals on the road for his friends. Brock also carried the group's medicinal supplies and maps while they traveled through the [[Kanto]], [[Johto]], [[Hoenn]], and [[Sinnoh]] [[region]]s. His Bag was blue, with only the bedroll being removed during ''[[Pokémon the Series: Diamond and Pearl]]''.

As a [[Pokémon Watcher]], {{Tracey}} carried around numerous sketchbooks, pencils, and a set of binoculars in his orange Bag.

Both of {{an|May}}'s Bags were based on the ones worn by {{ga|May|her game counterpart}} in [[Generation III]]. Throughout ''Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire'', she wore a {{wp|fanny pack|ket Bag}} that stayed on her waist like a belt. It was used to hold her Poke Balls, [[Pokédex]], [[Contest Pass]], and [[Ribbon]]s. During her brief return from ''[[DP075|Our Cup Runneth Over!]]'' to ''[[DP079|Strategy with a Smile!]]'', May was shown to have two Bags, one a green ket Bag and the other a yellow Bag.

[[Max]] carried around a yellow Bag that held his [[PokéNav]].

It was shown in ''[[DP001|Following A Maiden's Voyage!]]'' that Dawn had planned to take a large suitcase full of various [[List of clothing (anime)|clothing and accessories]] with her. However, [[Johanna]] made her leave it at home and gave her a small Bag instead, containing only the items that she would need on her {{pkmn|journey}}.

{{an|Iris}} wore a pink Bag.

{{an|Cilan}} owned a brown Bag, and like Brock, he carried the group's supplies around.

{{an|Serena}} stored her belongings in a pink Bag. Her second Bag had a [[Heal Ball]] design on it.

{{an|Clemont}} stored many of his "[[Clemontic Gear]]" inventions inside his black and white Bag. His younger sister {{an|Bonnie}} wore a yellow satchel-style Bag around her shoulder, which {{TP|Clemont|Dedenne}} and later [[Squishy]] rest in.

{{an|Mallow}}'s schoolbag is based on the [[Forage Bag]].

Both of {{an|Lillie}}'s Bags were based on the ones worn by [[Lillie|her game counterpart]].

[[Goh]] has a brown and black Bag resembling a suitcase. As shown in ''[[JN010|A Test in Paradise!]]'', it has a high capacity to keep his [[Poké Ball]]s.

[[Roy]] has a grayish blue sack bag to hold his belongings. In [[HZ046]], Roy starts wearing a simliar bag but bigger while attending [[Naranja Academy]].

[[Liko]] has a yellow crossbody bag, a black backpack, and a blue bag to hold {{an|Terapagos}} in.

'''Glacia''' (Japanese: '''プリム''' ''Purim'') is an {{type|Ice}} {{pkmn|Trainer}} and member of the [[Hoenn]] [[Elite Four]].

==In the core series games==
[[File:Glacia ORAS.png|thumb|200px|Glacia challenging the player]]

Glacia is the third member of the [[Hoenn]] [[Elite Four]] to be faced at the {{ho|Pokémon League}}. She dislikes the fact that most of the Trainers she has met in Hoenn are not skilled enough to live up to her expectations.<ref>[[Glacia/Quotes|Glacia]]: "''But all I have seen are challenges by weak Trainers and their Pokémon."''</ref>
Glacia had trained in an unspecified [[region]] before journeying to Hoenn to become part of the Elite Four.<ref name=HomeRegion>''"Welcome. My name is Glacia of the Elite Four. I’ve traveled from afar to Hoenn so that I may hone my Ice-type moves."''</ref> She has a team consisting of five very powerful {{type|Ice}} Pokémon, to which she refers as having "flaming passion in icy cold".{{fact}}

====History====
====={{MangaArc|Ruby & Sapphire}}=====
Glacia and the other Elite Four members are called by {{Steven}} to help protect the Hoenn [[region]] from the {{pkmn|battle}} between {{DL|Super-ancient Pokémon (Adventures)|Groudon}} and {{DL|Super-ancient Pokémon (Adventures)|Kyogre}}. Glacia was initially stationed at [[Island Cave]] as part of the plan to unseal {{p|Regirock}}, {{p|Regice}}, and {{p|Registeel}}. When the [[legendary giants]] are unsealed, Glacia is tasked with controlling Regice alongside Phoebe. The Elite Four, Steven, and Wallace all control the three Pokémon in three pairs of two and use their power to keep the power released from Groudon and Kyogre's battle from spreading throughout Hoenn. They manage to keep the power contained for several weeks, but the strain is too much for Steven and he eventually dies, causing the three Pokémon to lash out and flee. Glacia later mourns Steven's death before his revival at the hands of {{adv|Ruby}}'s {{p|Celebi}}.

====={{MangaArc|Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire}}=====
Glacia, along with various people from around Hoenn, is called to [[Sootopolis City]] to assist in stopping [[Grand Meteor Delta]], a giant meteoroid threatening to destroy the planet. When the plan to attack Grand Meteor Delta starts, Glacia and the others have their Pokémon attack the meteoroid at the same time. This, combined with the might of [[Mega Evolution|Mega]] {{DL|Super-ancient Pokémon (Adventures)|Rayquaza}}, successfully shatters Grand Meteor Delta into pieces.

====Pokémon====
This listing is for Glacia's Pokémon in the Pokémon Adventures manga.

==Trivia==
* Glacia's Japanese name is very similar to the anime dub name of another {{type|Ice}} Master, Prima. In the games, Prima is known as [[Lorelei]].
* Glacia is the only member of Hoenn's [[Elite Four]] who is never seen outside of [[Ever Grande City]].
* One of the NPCs in the [[Mauville Food Court]] mentions seeing Glacia eating ramen there, saying she was slurping down her noodles at such an incredible pace that she was dripping with sweat.<ref name=Ramen>"''One of the Elite Four is named Glacia, right? I’ve seen her eating ramen here before! She was slurping down her noodles at such an incredible pace that she was dripping with sweat!''"</ref>
* In the rematch in Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, Glacia is the only Elite Four member to still use Pokémon from the same evolutionary family.
* In Pokémon Emerald, Glacia's {{p|Walrein}} is the only ace Pokémon used by an Elite Four member to not know {{m|Rock Slide}}.
* Despite claiming to use items as her main strategy, the only items Glacia uses are Full Restores as well as a single Sitrus Berry{{sup/3|RSE}}/Mega Stone{{sup/6|ORAS}},the same items as the other Elite Four members.
* Glacia's redesign in Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire bears a slight resemblance to {{wp|Elsa (Frozen)|Elsa}} from the movie {{wp|Frozen (2013 film)|Frozen}}.

'''Wicke''' (Japanese: '''ビッケ''' ''Wicke'') is the assistant branch chief and only non-antagonistic member of the [[Aether Foundation]]'s [[Aether Paradise]].

==In the core series games==
Wicke appears in [[Pokémon Sun and Moon]]. Her caring personality makes her popular among the Foundation's staff.

During the player's first visit to Aether Paradise, she takes the player and [[Hau]] on a tour of the facility. Before they leave, she gives Hau some malasadas and {{TM|29|Psychic}} to the player.

Wicke is revealed to be one of the Foundation's employees who disagreed with [[Lusamine]] and her obsession with the [[Ultra Beast]]s, and also the one who both [[Gladion]] and [[Lillie]] confided in before they ran away with a specimen of {{p|Type: Null}} and {{p|Cosmog}}, respectively. She is the one who subsequently refers Lillie to go to [[Professor Burnet]] to talk about Cosmog. To atone for the Foundation's contribution to the Ultra Beast crisis, she assists the [[International Police]] in their efforts to subdue or capture the creatures. She provides the player with [[Beast Ball]]s to capture the wild Ultra Beasts with, and freely gives the player information on the Ultra Beasts that the player captures.

Although [[Faba]] is demoted from his position as Branch Chief after the events of the games, it is not known if Wicke was promoted to his position.

==Quotes==
{{main|Wicke/Quotes}}

==In the anime==
===''[[Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon]]''===
[[File:Wicke anime.png|thumb|250px|Wicke in the anime]]
Wicke was revealed to be a founding member of the [[Aether Foundation]] in ''[[SM116|The Secret Princess]]'', alongside {{an|Faba}}, and married couple {{an|Lusamine}} and [[Mohn]]. Following Mohn's disappearance during an [[Ultra Wormhole]] experiment, Wicke has remained by Lusamine's side to support her through her grief.

Wicke debuted in ''[[SM044|A Dream Encounter!]]''. She, along with Lusamine, {{an|Professor Burnet}}, and Faba, investigated the [[Altar of the Sunne]] due to Ultra Aura being detected from that location, but they were unable to find anything there. She later accompanied Lusamine and Professor Burnet to {{an|Professor Kukui}}'s house on [[Melemele Island]], where she met {{Ash}} and {{DL|Nebby|In the anime|Nebby}}.

In ''[[SM046|Deceiving Appearances!]]'', she guided Ash and {{ashcl}} through [[Aether Paradise]] during their visit to the facility. Wicke appeared again in ''[[SM050|Faba's Revenge!]]'', in which she informed Lusamine and Professor Burnet about Faba's still unknown whereabouts. She was later seen escorting {{an|Gladion}} to his mother's office. In ''[[SM051|Family Determination!]]'', she arrived at the Aether Paradise labs, where she witnessed Lusamine's abduction.

Following Lusamine's rescue, Wicke attended the wedding of Professor Kukui and Professor Burnet in ''[[SM055|The Professors' New Adventure!]]''. Later, she, alongside Lusamine and Faba, invited Ash and his classmates to join the [[Ultra Guardians]], a task force dedicated to capturing [[Ultra Beast]]s, which they accepted. Starting in ''[[SM061|A Mission of Ultra Urgency!]]'', Wicke, along with Lusamine and Professor Burnet, would brief Ash and his classmates whenever they embark on a mission as Ultra Guardians. She also accompanies them when the caught Ultra Beast gets released back into [[Ultra Space]].

Wicke briefly reappeared in ''[[SM084|The Shape of Love to Come!]]''. She was seen with Lusamine and Faba, when Ash, Professor Burnet, and Professor Kukui contacted them to inform them about {{AP|Poipole}}'s habit of putting its feelings into its drawings, which she described as romantic.
[[File:SM116 photo.png|thumb|left|250px|A younger Wicke with Lusamine, Mohn, and Faba]]
In ''[[SM087|Filling the Light with Darkness!]]'', mysterious dark clouds appeared over [[Alola]], leaving all of the adults tired and without motivation. After doing some research, Wicke, Lusamine, Faba, and Professor Burnet found out that the cause of the incident was a small Ultra Wormhole that was slowly draining Alola's Ultra Aura. Later, at the Altar of the Sunne, she and the others informed the Ultra Guardians of their findings and had them use their [[Z-Move]]s to fuel a machine that could disperse the clouds to find out the Ultra Wormhole's exact location. In [[SM088|the next episode]], Wicke and the others witnessed {{an|Lunala}} and {{an|Necrozma}} emerging from the Ultra Wormhole. She was later seen arriving at Melemele Island, along with Lusamine, Burnet, and Faba, after Necrozma had fused with Nebby and had left. She and the others then oversaw Lunala recover in the Ultra Guardians base.

[[SM089|Later]], after the Ultra Guardians left for Ultra Space with a fully recovered Lunala, Wicke stayed behind at the Ultra Guardians base with Lusamine and Burnet. They tried to find out a way to communicate with the task force after their connection got lost. She finally managed to regain contact with the Ultra Guardians in [[SM090|the next episode]], allowing Burnet to inform them of her findings. Wicke then joined the rest of Alola in sharing their light with Necrozma so it could return to its {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Necrozma|true form}}. After Necrozma returned to its {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Necrozma|Ultra form}}, Wicke watched as the Ultra Guardians, Nebby, and Lunala returned to Alola, alongside Lusamine, Burnet, Faba, and Kukui.

In ''[[SM096|Don't Ignore the Small Stufful!]]'', Wicke was revealed to be close to a {{an|Stufful}}, which went missing at [[Aether Paradise]]. She revealed that she found it trapped under a fallen tree and brought it to Aether Paradise to recover. The group eventually found Stufful clinging onto [[Jessie]]'s hair and watched as {{an|Bewear}} grabbed them. Wicke then realized that Bewear was Stufful's mother and happily watched their reunion before Bewear took Team Rocket and Stufful back to her den.

During the [[Manalo Conference]], Wicke watched the battles, alongside Lusamine, Professor Burnet, and later Faba. When three [[Ultra Beasts (anime)#Manalo Stadium Guzzlord|Guzzlord]] arrived through Ultra Wormholes and began wreaking havoc at [[Manalo Stadium]], Wicke helped monitor the situation while Ash, his classmates, Gladion, Hau, Kukui, and the [[island kahuna]]s teamed up to defeat the Junkivore Pokémon and send them back to Ultra Space. Following the incident, she watched the exhibition match between Ash and Professor Kukui.

In ''[[SM146|Thank You, Alola! The Journey Continues!]]'', Wicke said goodbye to Lusamine and her children, taking one last group photo with them before they left on their journey to find Mohn. She was later seen working at Aether Paradise, alongside Faba and {{Rotom}}.

===''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]''===
In ''[[JN112|Helping the Hometown Hero!]]'', Wicke greeted Lusamine and her family on their return to Alola and was reunited with Mohn. The next day, she and Faba acted as commentators during the [[Battle Royal]] match between Professor Kukui, Ash, Gladion, and {{an|Kiawe}}.

===Character===
Wicke is overly cheery and empathetic. While she is often busy managing the [[Aether Foundation]]'s schedules and standards, Wicke truly enjoys her line of work. ''[[SM096|Don't Ignore the Small Stufful!]]'' showcased her interests in Pokémon conservation, where she was seen playing with some of [[Aether Paradise]]'s resident Pokémon. She was later drawn to tears when a {{an|Stufful}} she had rescued reunited with its mother, {{an|Bewear}}.

She is loyal and has been immensely supportive of her boss {{an|Lusamine}} over the years. Wicke even attended the [[Manalo Conference]] to cheer for {{an|Lusamine}}'s children, {{an|Lillie}} and {{an|Gladion}}, as they competed. However, Wicke can be tough. She is well aware of {{an|Faba}}'s manipulative tendencies, and often pulls him into line for not following orders.

Prior to ''[[SM044|A Dream Encounter!]]'', Wicke found this {{p|Stufful}} while it trapped under a fallen tree. She rescued it and then brought it to [[Aether Paradise]] so it could live there. Over time, they became extremely close. In ''[[SM096|Don't Ignore the Small Stufful!]]'', when she heard that Stufful was missing, Wicke got worried. Eventually, she realized {{an|Bewear}} was Stufful's mother and happily watched as they were reunited.}}

One of the Ditto eventually escaped during the process and roamed around [[Aether Paradise]]'s conservation area, using Transform to trick its pursuers. This Ditto was eventually caught when Ash dove onto it while it was posing as Lillie's {{rf|Alolan}} {{p|Vulpix}}, [[Snowy]]. It was then taken back to the room.

In ''[[SM096|Don't Ignore the Small Stufful!]]'', Wicke was shown happily tending to the Ditto in the same room during Ash and Lillie's trip to Aether Paradise.

===Pokémon Adventures===
[[File:Wicke Adventures.png|thumb|220px|Wicke in Pokémon Adventures]]
Wicke debuted in ''[[PASM15|Shipwreck and "Oh, What Sharp Teeth You Have, Bruxish!"]]''. She and [[Faba]] met with {{adv|Moon}}, [[Professor Kukui]], and [[Professor Burnet]]. Wicke explained that the three were rescued by the [[Aether Foundation]] after being attacked by a {{pkmn2|wild}} {{p|Bruxish}} and left lost at sea. Faba revealed that they were taken to [[Aether Paradise]] and offered to give them a tour of the place.

Six months later, Faba had managed to take control over the Aether Foundation. When Lusamine went missing, Wicke and an {{tc|Aether Foundation Employee}} managed to locate her on [[Poni Island]] playing with a group of [[Ultra Beast]]s. Their attempts to dock on the island were thwarted by a {{p|Celesteela}}, forcing them to return to the [[Aether House]] on [[Ula'ula Island]] and meet up with [[Gladion]] and [[Lillie]]. When Gladion suggested going to get Lusamine, Wicke refused due to the boy's injuries. Wicke decided the best option was for her and the Employee to return to Aether Paradise and gather information.

Later, Wicke and the Employee returned to Poni, only to find Lusamine and the Ultra Beasts gone. After returning to shore, Wicke encountered [[Mina]] and an injured [[Guzma]]. Mina had come to Poni to meet with the other [[Trial Captain]]s, but mistakenly went to the wrong location. Wicke had Mina taken to [[Exeggutor Island]] to join the other captains while Guzma was taken to a medical ward to recuperate.

==In the TCG==
[[File:WickeBurningShadows147.jpg|200px|thumb|Full Art print of Wicke]]
{{main|Wicke (Burning Shadows 127)}}
'''Wicke''' was introduced as a {{TCG|Supporter card}} in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] during the English Sun & Moon Series (the Japanese SM Era). It was first released in the Japanese {{TCG|Darkness that Consumes Light}} expansion before debuting in English in the {{TCG|Burning Shadows}} expansion, with an illustration based on the [[Ken Sugimori]] artwork of the character, with the background artwork by [[take]]. It was also released as a {{TCG|Full Art card}} in Darkness that Consumes Light and Burning Shadows, with an illustration by [[Naoki Saito]]. Wicke makes each player count the cards in their hand, shuffles those cards into their deck, then draws that many cards.

A '''Team Flare Admin''' (Japanese: '''フレア団のかんぶ''' ''Team Flare Executive'') is a type of [[Pokémon Trainer]] introduced in [[Generation VI]]. They are members of [[Team Flare]] higher in rank than {{tc|Team Flare Grunt}}s. They are the only Admins of a villainous team whose names are never mentioned.

[[Malva]] is implied to be a Team Flare Admin, since she knows classified information that, in her words, only certain Admins know about. {{DL|North Boulevard|Looker Bureau 2|Chalmers}}, a {{tc|Butler}} who is encountered during [[Looker]] Bureau Chapter 4, is a former Team Flare Admin.

In ''[[XY111|Unlocking Some Respect!]]'', Admins helped Xerosic with experimenting on [[Z2]].

In ''[[XY119|A Full-Strength Battle Surprise!]]'', Admins used a machine to create some giant roots in a forest that an [[Officer Jenny]] came to investigate.

A male Admin appeared in ''[[XY129|Kalos League Passion with a Certain Flare!]]'' and ''[[XY130|Finals Not for the Faint-Hearted!]]'', where he was seen with Lysandre and later with Lysandre and [[Mairin]], as they all were in a private box in the [[Lumiose Conference]] stadium watching the final battle between {{Ash}} and [[Alain]].

{{adv|Tierno}} encountered a female Team Flare Admin at {{rt|5|Kalos}}. After learning of her plans to lead an operation to rob the [[Poké Ball Factory]], Tierno fought the Admin to stop her. With help from X, Tierno managed to defeat the Admin, though they were unable to prevent the Poké Ball Factory from being robbed later.

A male Team Flare Admin named {{DL|North Boulevard|Looker Bureau 2|Chalmers}} attacked [[Gurkinn]] in order to obtain the secrets of [[Mega Evolution]] for his superiors. Although Chalmers defeated Gurkinn, he was soon defeated by [[Diantha]], one of Gurkinn's students, and forced to run away. Later, Chalmers was seen locking {{kal|Grace}} back into her cell at the [[Team Flare Secret HQ]] after her fifth attempt to escape had ended in a failure.

Later, both Chalmers and the female Admin, along with [[Malva's Delphox]], were seen overseeing the plan to tie the Pokémon captured from the [[Pokémon Village]] to the prototype Absorbers on {{rt|10|Kalos}} so that their life energy could be drained to re-fuel the [[ultimate weapon]]. The plan was interrupted by the arrival of [[Alexa]], [[Viola]], [[Clemont]], [[Bonnie]], and [[Yvette]]. All Team Flare members on the route were defeated, thus putting a stop to their plan.

A '''Team Rocket Admin''', '''Rocket Executive''', or '''Executive''' (Japanese: '''ロケットだんかんぶ''' ''Team Rocket Executive'', introduced as '''ロケットだんいんのかんぶ''' ''Team Rocket Executive Member'') is a type of [[Pokémon Trainer]] that first debuted in the Generation II games.

They are the highest ranked members of [[Team Rocket]] after [[Giovanni]], and are the heads of Team Rocket after he abandons the organization. They tend to use a combination of {{t|Poison}}- and {{type|Dark}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}.

==Terminology==
:''See also: [[Team Rocket Grunt (Trainer class)#Terminology|Team Rocket Grunt → Terminology]]''

This Trainer class is variously referred to as an '''Executive''' or '''Admin''' in English, depending on the generation. Prior to Generation IV, they do not have individual names. In all generations, the Trainer class does not include a gender symbol (♂/♀).

In [[Generation II]] (including [[Pokémon Stadium 2]]), they are referred to as a "'''ROCKET EXECUTIVE'''" (Japanese: '''ロケットだんいんのかんぶ''' ''Team Rocket Executive Member''). In character dialogue, they are referred to as simply '''EXECUTIVE''' as a shorthand.<ref>"''If you were to join TEAM ROCKET, you could become an '''EXECUTIVE'''.''" ({{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}})</ref>

In {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, they are referred to as a "'''TEAM ROCKET ADMIN'''" (Japanese: '''ロケットだんのかんぶ''' ''Team Rocket Executive''). In English, "ROCKET" from previous generation was expanded to "TEAM ROCKET", and "EXECUTIVE" was changed to "ADMIN". In Japanese, 「だんいん」 (''Team Member'') was shortened to 「だん」(''Team''). In character dialogue, they are referred to as simply '''EXECUTIVE''' as a shorthand.<ref>"''We'll try digging here. That treasure the '''ADMINS'''{{'}}ve been talking about should be here.''" ({{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}})</ref>

In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, they are referred to as an "'''Executive'''" (Japanese: '''ロケットだんかんぶ''' ''Team Rocket Executive''). The Executives now have individual names, so Executive serves as a Trainer class instead of their entire name. The Japanese version is unchanged from Generation III, still including "Team Rocket" (unlike the English name).

In [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], they are referred to as a "'''Team Rocket Admin'''" (Japanese: '''ロケットだんかんぶ''' ''Team Rocket Executive''). In both English and Japanese, this matches the name used in Generation III.

==In the core series games==
===Generation II===
[[File:Rocket Executive Sugimori.png|thumb|230px|Generation II art by [[Ken Sugimori]] for the {{Trading Card Game}}]]
In {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}, there are four male executives and one female executive (who is battled twice). (The Executives are all unnamed, but the number of distinct Executives can be extrapolated from their parties and where they appear.) They battle the player at [[Team Rocket HQ]] and [[Goldenrod Radio Tower]].

===Generation III===
In {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, two unnamed Team Rocket Admins appear in command of the [[Rocket Warehouse]]. They seem to be two of the same members who would head Team Rocket in Johto three years later ([[Ariana]] and [[Archer]], although they did not have names or distinct identities until Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver).

[[File:HGSS Rocket Executives.png|thumb|Petrel, Archer, Ariana and Proton in the [[game intro]] of HeartGold and SoulSilver]]
In the Rocket Warehouse, the female Team Rocket Admin is battled before going into the male administrator's room. She objects that Team Rocket is disbanded, but after a battle, admits that it probably is and as a final act, turns off the floor so that the player can go back and heal. After defeating the male Team Rocket Admin, he sees the player's {{badge|Earth}} and realizes that the [[Viridian City]]-based Team Rocket has disbanded; he then tells the player that he will find [[Giovanni]] and revive Team Rocket.

The Team Rocket Admins are the same people as the Rocket executives in Generations {{gen|II}} and {{gen|IV}}, as hinted by the similarity in their teams and the male administrator's determination to revive Team Rocket after he is defeated, as well as the information given on the computer screen which the Rocket administrator was working on ("The influence of magnetic waves on Pokémon evolution"). This is linked to what happened in Generations II and IV, when Team Rocket used radio waves to evolve the {{p|Magikarp}} at [[Lake of Rage]].

===Generation IV===
In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, there are four Executives each with distinct names and identities. Their names ([[Proton]], [[Petrel]], [[Ariana]], and [[Archer]]) refer to real-life rockets or missiles in all languages—much like [[Team Galactic]]'s {{tc|Commander}}s, who were named after {{wp|Astronomical object|celestial bodies}}.

Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver adjusted the number of distinct Executives relative to Generation II: Proton takes the place of both a Grunt in [[Slowpoke Well]] and an Executive in the Radio Tower; and Petrel takes the place of both the Executive in Giovanni's office in the [[Team Rocket HQ]] and the Executive disguised as the [[Radio Director]]. In both cases, their parties in Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver are a combination of the parties of the characters they replaced from Pokémon Gold, Silver, and Crystal.

===Generation VII===
In [[Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu! and Let's Go, Eevee!]], Archer is the sole Admin of Team Rocket, being first encountered at the [[Team Rocket Hideout]] in [[Celadon City]]. He later leads the organization's takeover of the [[Silph Co.]] in [[Saffron City]] and fights the player and {{ga|Trace}} in an attempt to keep them from interfering. During the post-game, he meets the player at the hideout again, informing them of his plans to leave [[Kanto]] and someday restore Team Rocket, before leaving to do just that.

===Pokémon Stadium 2===
In [[Pokémon Stadium 2]], two Executives, one male and one female, appear along with a pair of Rocket Grunts, interrupting the player's progress through the Johto [[Gym Leader Castle]] after the player has defeated [[Jasmine]]. Because their teams contain the distinctive Pokémon Vileplume and Houndoom, they appear to be inspired by two of the admins from {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}.

==In the anime==
It is unknown whether or not there are executives present in the {{pkmn|anime}}, as {{an|Giovanni}} is still in control of the organization. Instead, the anime tends to focus much more on high-ranking Team Rocket field agents such as [[Domino]] and the [[Iron-Masked Marauder]]. {{OBP|Annie|M05}} and [[Oakley]] were also inclusive to the ranks of [[Team Rocket]], working as hired spies hunting {{OBP|Latios|M05}} and {{OBP|Latias|M05}}, but this was only in the English dub. [[Matori]], Giovanni's personal secretary and commander of the elite [[Matori Matrix]] unit, frequently fulfills an Executive-like role by giving assignments when Giovanni is not available.

==In the manga==
[[File:Rocket Executives Adventures.png‎|200px|thumb|Team Rocket Executives in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
===Pocket Monsters HGSS Jō's Big Adventure===
The four [[Generation IV]] Executives appear in the [[Pocket Monsters HGSS Jō's Big Adventure]] manga, fulfilling similar roles as in the games.

===Pokémon Adventures===
===={{MangaArc|Red, Green & Blue}}====
[[Lt. Surge]], [[Koga]], and [[Sabrina]] are Team Rocket executives, having abandoned their respective [[Gym]]s to work for the evil organization instead.

===={{MangaArc|Yellow}}====
After witnessing a battle between {{adv|Yellow}} and [[Lance]], {{adv|Giovanni}} realized that he still had a lot to learn and told his three executives to return to their Gyms.

===={{MangaArc|Gold, Silver & Crystal}}====
Under the [[Masked Man]]'s leadership, [[Neo Team Rocket]]'s executives were [[Sham]] and [[Carl]], who were based on the [[Generation II]] Executive designs.

===={{MangaArc|HeartGold & SoulSilver}}====
Archer, Ariana, Petrel, and Proton take over the organization from [[Carr]] and search for {{adv|Arceus}} and its [[Plate]]s to accomplish their plan of making Giovanni return to Team Rocket's leadership.

===Pokémon Gold & Silver: The Golden Boys===
{{OBP|Grey|Golden Boys}} from the [[Pokémon Gold & Silver: The Golden Boys]] manga is based on the male Executive design. His role within the team is based on [[Archer]]'s.

==Trivia==
* Though Rocket Executives are members of Team Rocket, like {{tc|Team Rocket Grunt|Rocket Grunt}}s and {{tc|Scientist}}s, the background theme played when fighting them is the normal Trainer battle theme in {{3v|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}. This was rectified in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, where all members of Team Rocket-related Trainer classes play the Rocket battle theme.
* In merging multiple Executives together, {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} introduced a plot hole: [[Petrel]] is present in both the [[Goldenrod Radio Tower]] and the [[Team Rocket HQ]] at the same time. When the player first visits [[Goldenrod City]], a guard comments on the Director's changed nature:
:''"Sorry. Authorized personnel only beyond this point. It wasn’t that way before. There’s something wrong with the Director…"''

====History====
====={{MangaArc|Ruby & Sapphire}}=====
Glacia and the other Elite Four members are called by {{Steven}} to help protect the Hoenn [[region]] from the {{pkmn|battle}} between {{DL|Super-ancient Pokémon (Adventures)|Groudon}} and {{DL|Super-ancient Pokémon (Adventures)|Kyogre}}. Glacia was initially stationed at [[Island Cave]] as part of the plan to unseal {{p|Regirock}}, {{p|Regice}}, and {{p|Registeel}}. When the [[legendary giants]] are unsealed, Glacia is tasked with controlling Regice alongside Phoebe. The Elite Four, Steven, and Wallace all control the three Pokémon in three pairs of two and use their power to keep the power released from Groudon and Kyogre's battle from spreading throughout Hoenn. They manage to keep the power contained for several weeks, but the strain is too much for Steven and he eventually dies, causing the three Pokémon to lash out and flee. Glacia later mourns Steven's death before his revival at the hands of {{adv|Ruby}}'s {{p|Celebi}}.

====={{MangaArc|Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire}}=====
Glacia, along with various people from around Hoenn, is called to [[Sootopolis City]] to assist in stopping [[Grand Meteor Delta]], a giant meteoroid threatening to destroy the planet. When the plan to attack Grand Meteor Delta starts, Glacia and the others have their Pokémon attack the meteoroid at the same time. This, combined with the might of [[Mega Evolution|Mega]] {{DL|Super-ancient Pokémon (Adventures)|Rayquaza}}, successfully shatters Grand Meteor Delta into pieces.

==Trivia==
* Glacia's Japanese name is very similar to the anime dub name of another {{type|Ice}} Master, Prima. In the games, Prima is known as [[Lorelei]].
* Glacia is the only member of Hoenn's [[Elite Four]] who is never seen outside of [[Ever Grande City]].
* One of the NPCs in the [[Mauville Food Court]] mentions seeing Glacia eating ramen there, saying she was slurping down her noodles at such an incredible pace that she was dripping with sweat.
* In the rematch in Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, Glacia is the only Elite Four member to still use Pokémon from the same evolutionary family.
* In Pokémon Emerald, Glacia's {{p|Walrein}} is the only ace Pokémon used by an Elite Four member to not know {{m|Rock Slide}}.
* Despite claiming to use items as her main strategy, the only items Glacia uses are Full Restores as well as a single Sitrus Berry{{sup/3|RSE}}/Mega Stone{{sup/6|ORAS}},the same items as the other Elite Four members.
* Glacia's redesign in Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire bears a slight resemblance to {{wp|Elsa (Frozen)|Elsa}} from the movie {{wp|Frozen (2013 film)|Frozen}}.

====History====
====={{MangaArc|Ruby & Sapphire}}=====
Glacia and the other Elite Four members are called by {{Steven}} to help protect the Hoenn [[region]] from the {{pkmn|battle}} between {{DL|Super-ancient Pokémon (Adventures)|Groudon}} and {{DL|Super-ancient Pokémon (Adventures)|Kyogre}}. Glacia was initially stationed at [[Island Cave]] as part of the plan to unseal {{p|Regirock}}, {{p|Regice}}, and {{p|Registeel}}. When the [[legendary giants]] are unsealed, Glacia is tasked with controlling Regice alongside Phoebe. The Elite Four, Steven, and Wallace all control the three Pokémon in three pairs of two and use their power to keep the power released from Groudon and Kyogre's battle from spreading throughout Hoenn. They manage to keep the power contained for several weeks, but the strain is too much for Steven and he eventually dies, causing the three Pokémon to lash out and flee. Glacia later mourns Steven's death before his revival at the hands of {{adv|Ruby}}'s {{p|Celebi}}.

====={{MangaArc|Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire}}=====
Glacia, along with various people from around Hoenn, is called to [[Sootopolis City]] to assist in stopping [[Grand Meteor Delta]], a giant meteoroid threatening to destroy the planet. When the plan to attack Grand Meteor Delta starts, Glacia and the others have their Pokémon attack the meteoroid at the same time. This, combined with the might of [[Mega Evolution|Mega]] {{DL|Super-ancient Pokémon (Adventures)|Rayquaza}}, successfully shatters Grand Meteor Delta into pieces.

====Pokémon====
This listing is for Glacia's Pokémon in the Pokémon Adventures manga.

{{p|Regice}} was awakened by Steven and the Elite Four to be used to contain Groudon and Kyogre's power. Glacia controlled Regice with Phoebe while the others controlled Regirock and Registeel. After Steven died from the strain of controlling the three Pokémon, Regice lashed out and ran away. It was later found by [[Brandon]] and captured.}}

==Trivia==
* Glacia's Japanese name is very similar to the anime dub name of another {{type|Ice}} Master, Prima. In the games, Prima is known as [[Lorelei]].
* Glacia is the only member of Hoenn's [[Elite Four]] who is never seen outside of [[Ever Grande City]].
* One of the NPCs in the [[Mauville Food Court]] mentions seeing Glacia eating ramen there, saying she was slurping down her noodles at such an incredible pace that she was dripping with sweat.
* In the rematch in Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, Glacia is the only Elite Four member to still use Pokémon from the same evolutionary family.
* In Pokémon Emerald, Glacia's {{p|Walrein}} is the only ace Pokémon used by an Elite Four member to not know {{m|Rock Slide}}.
* Despite claiming to use items as her main strategy, the only items Glacia uses are Full Restores as well as a single Sitrus Berry{{sup/3|RSE}}/Mega Stone{{sup/6|ORAS}},the same items as the other Elite Four members.

====History====
====={{MangaArc|Ruby & Sapphire}}=====
Glacia and the other Elite Four members are called by {{Steven}} to help protect the Hoenn [[region]] from the {{pkmn|battle}} between {{DL|Super-ancient Pokémon (Adventures)|Groudon}} and {{DL|Super-ancient Pokémon (Adventures)|Kyogre}}. Glacia was initially stationed at [[Island Cave]] as part of the plan to unseal {{p|Regirock}}, {{p|Regice}}, and {{p|Registeel}}. When the [[legendary giants]] are unsealed, Glacia is tasked with controlling Regice alongside Phoebe. The Elite Four, Steven, and Wallace all control the three Pokémon in three pairs of two and use their power to keep the power released from Groudon and Kyogre's battle from spreading throughout Hoenn. They manage to keep the power contained for several weeks, but the strain is too much for Steven and he eventually dies, causing the three Pokémon to lash out and flee. Glacia later mourns Steven's death before his revival at the hands of {{adv|Ruby}}'s {{p|Celebi}}.

====={{MangaArc|Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire}}=====
Glacia, along with various people from around Hoenn, is called to [[Sootopolis City]] to assist in stopping [[Grand Meteor Delta]], a giant meteoroid threatening to destroy the planet. When the plan to attack Grand Meteor Delta starts, Glacia and the others have their Pokémon attack the meteoroid at the same time. This, combined with the might of [[Mega Evolution|Mega]] {{DL|Super-ancient Pokémon (Adventures)|Rayquaza}}, successfully shatters Grand Meteor Delta into pieces.

* In the rematch in Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire, Glacia is the only Elite Four member to still use Pokémon from the same evolutionary family.
* In Pokémon Emerald, Glacia's {{p|Walrein}} is the only ace Pokémon used by an Elite Four member to not know {{m|Rock Slide}}.
* Despite claiming to use items as her main strategy, the only items Glacia uses are Full Restores as well as a single Sitrus Berry{{sup/3|E}}/Mega Stone{{sup/6|ORAS}},the same items as the other Elite Four members.

'''Penny''' (Japanese: '''ボタン''' ''Botan'') is a character in [[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet]].

==In the core series games==
Penny is a student at [[Naranja Academy]]{{sup/9|S}}/[[Uva Academy]]{{sup/9|V}}, and is in the same grade as the [[player character]]. She has a shy personality, and is often absent from class. She always has her fluffy {{p|Eevee}} backpack with her wherever she goes. She possesses unparalleled skill with machines and computers. She is enrolled in the {{wp|Science, technology, engineering, and mathematics|STEM}} track of the academy, with her homeroom teacher being [[Tyme]].

Penny is first seen in [[Mesagoza]], where the player witnesses her being harassed by {{tc|Team Star Grunt}}s in front of the school stairs. The player then defeated the Grunts. Afterwards, for each squad boss except for the last one defeated, Penny appears as Cassiopeia's supply unit rep and talks to the player, giving them [[TM Material]]s, and being licked by {{ga|Koraidon}}{{sup/9|S}}/{{ga|Miraidon}}{{sup/9|V}} every time after the first.

{{spoilers}}
===★ Starfall Street ★===
Penny first witnesses the player defeat two {{tc|Team Star Grunt}}s in front of the school stairs who were harassing her to join Team Star. During Operation Starfall, Penny appears as a part of the supply unit to reward the player with various [[TM Material]]s after they defeat a Team Star base.

After the player has defeated all five Team Star bosses, [[Cassiopeia]] reveals that she was Team Star's "big boss" and invites the player to meet at the academy's schoolyard after dark, where she reveals her identity as Penny. None of the other members of Team Star knew of her true identity because she never left her room during her time with them. She came up with the idea of Operation Starfall and recruited the player to make the Team Star Bosses stand down as she is afraid that her fellow bosses will be expelled from the academy because of their involvement in the team but is unable to forcibly disband the group herself. Penny challenges the player to a battle and asks [[Clavell|Clive]] to record the battle with his [[Rotom Phone]] for the squad bosses to view the outcome. After being defeated, Penny proclaims with relief that Team Star's reign is over.

A flashback after her defeat shows her last conversation (a year and a half prior) with the squad bosses, via a Rotom Phone call. The squad bosses were worried about Penny's well-being and her sudden desire to disband Team Star and take sole responsibility for her actions. She thanked the squad bosses for their kindness and company. Penny was then revealed to be outside the room the squad bosses were in during their conversation, and she bid them farewell and temporarily left for Galar, her original home region.

After the flashback, Penny thanks the player and Clive for successfully helping her during Operation Starfall. When asked by Clive why she couldn’t forcibly disband Team Star on her own, Penny explains that the strict code she and the squad bosses created stated that no member of Team Star had the right to order anyone around and that the squad bosses had to accept challenges and give away their Star Badges when defeated, hence forcing them to step down as squad bosses. When asked by Clive what the squad bosses mean to her, Penny wholeheartedly replies that they are her "greatest treasure".

Seemingly touched by Penny's story, Clive thanks her for her appraisal of the situation with Team Star. Clive proceeds to reveal that he, too, was under a false persona, and is actually the Academy's director, [[Clavell]], much to Penny's shock. Clavell explains that he disguised as Clive in order to talk to the Team Star members on equal terms, without them feeling the pressure of speaking to a faculty member such as the academy's director.

Clavell proceeds to call all the squad bosses ([[Giacomo]], [[Mela]], [[Atticus]], [[Ortega]], and [[Eri]]) out onto the schoolyard, much to Penny's surprise, and she emotionally recalls their names as they greet her with equal emotion. The squad bosses perform Team Star's signature ''hasta la vistar'' ★ pose and happily exclaim in unison: "''Hasta la vistar'', Cassiopeia! ★ And hello, Penny!"

Clavell apologises to Team Star for his unawareness of the bullying they suffered from, since he joined the academy as its director without witnessing any incidents of bullying. He declares that Team Star may continue to exist should its bosses want it to, but that they should be punished for breaking multiple school rules during their period of truancy. As punishment, Clavell assigns Penny and the squad bosses to manage the newly founded Star Training Centers (STCs) as staff members. Upon hearing this, the squad bosses marvel over Team Star not disbanding and being able to spend time with their "big boss" and close friend at the Academy and STCs.

Clavell dismisses Team Star's bosses and calls the player to his office to thank them for allowing him to help resolve Team Star's situation. Penny arrives shortly thereafter to apologise for illegally hacking the [[Pokémon League (Paldea)|Pokémon League]]'s [[League Point|LP]] management system to reward the player and Clavell for helping her during Operation Starfall, and feels that she should be punished more heavily than the others. Clavell decides that he should consult [[Geeta]], the Paldea Pokémon League's chairwoman, on the matter, and dismisses the player from his office.

Penny calls the player via Rotom Phone the next time they exit the academy building and tells them to meet her in front of the school stairs, where she was first encountered. She also states that she no longer wishes to be known as Cassiopeia, if the player chose to call her that instead of her actual name.

When the player finds Penny in front of the school stairs, she explains how the squad bosses and she came up with the ''hasta la vistar'' ★ catchphrase. She also explains that she won't be badly punished for hacking the Pokémon League's LP management system if she does some volunteer engineering for them, which she agreed to do. Finally, she thanks the player for helping her save Team Star from being wrongfully expelled from the academy and gives them {{TM|169|Draco Meteor}} as a reward. She explains that she wants to repay the player and would be willing to help with any requests they may have. She bids the player farewell with a ''hasta la vistar'' ★ and runs up the stairs, concluding the ★ Starfall Street ★ storyline.

===The Way Home===
After all three main stories of the game have been completed, Penny goes to the [[Zero Gate]] with the player, [[Arven]], and [[Nemona]] to traverse [[Area Zero]] with them and help them reach the [[Zero Lab]] in The Way Home, the game's final story. She battles alongside the player as a [[Multi Battle]] partner twice during this. After the door to the Zero Lab is opened, a group of [[Paradox Pokémon]] escape, which are chased down by Penny and Nemona. Later, Penny returns to the Zero Lab with Nemona and Arven and watches the player battle against and defeat [[Professor Sada|AI Sada]]{{sup/9|S}}/[[Professor Turo|AI Turo]]{{sup/9|V}} with their Koraidon{{sup/9|S}}/Miraidon{{sup/9|V}}.

===Post-game===
While Penny does not appear as an opponent in the first [[Academy Ace Tournament]], she can be battled as a random opponent in subsequent Academy Ace Tournaments, this time using [[Pokémon Trainer]] as her Trainer class instead of {{tc|Team Star}}.
{{endspoilers}}
===Pokémon===
===={{g|Scarlet and Violet}}====

=====First battle and Multi Battle partner=====
The first battle takes place at [[Naranja Academy]]{{sup/9|S}}/[[Uva Academy]]{{sup/9|V}}.

As a [[Multi Battle]] partner in [[Area Zero]], Penny uses this team against a hostile {{p|Scream Tail}}{{sup/9|S}}/{{p|Iron Bundle}}{{sup/9|V}}, and then against an escaping {{p|Brute Bonnet}}{{sup/9|S}}/{{p|Iron Hands}}{{sup/9|V}}.

'''Team Magma''' (Japanese: '''{{j|マグマ{{tt|団|だん}}}}''' ''Magma-dan'', literally ''Magma Gang'') is one of the two [[villainous team]]s with their organization based in the [[Hoenn]] region, alongside their rivals, [[Team Aqua]]. In Generation III, Team Magma's ultimate goal is to expand the amount of landmass in the world, while in Generation VI, their goal is to create a world for human progress by making {{p|Groudon}} undergo Primal Reversion to expand the landmass to give humanity more space on which to build and develop civilization.

==In the core series games==
Team Magma appears only in the Hoenn-based games {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}, as well as their remakes [[Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire]], where they scheme to bring Groudon out of its slumber.

Generally, {{tc|Team Magma Grunt}}s have weaker Pokémon, with {{p|Zubat}} and {{p|Poochyena}} (and {{p|Koffing}} in Omega Ruby) plentiful among them, however, they also use Pokémon of other types; typically they are {{type|Ground}} and {{type|Fire}} Pokémon such as {{p|Numel}} (and {{p|Baltoy}} in Emerald). The team is headed by [[Maxie]] and his two immediate subordinates [[Tabitha]] and [[Courtney]].

===Pokémon Ruby===
Though they are first encountered early in the game, their first major plot is to use a [[Meteorite]] to cause [[Mt. Chimney]] to erupt and expand the land. When this is thwarted by the {{player}}, they set themselves up in [[Lilycove City]]'s cove, planning their next moves. Their final action in the storyline is to steal a submarine from {{ci|Slateport}} harbor, which they use to travel to the [[Seafloor Cavern]] with the [[Blue Orb]], where Groudon awaits. Having picked the wrong orb, Groudon is enraged instead of controlled, and starts to scorch Hoenn at the [[Cave of Origin]] in [[Sootopolis City]] where it is controlled with the correct orb and must be captured by the player or defeated.

===Pokémon Sapphire===
Team Magma is relegated to a supporting role in Sapphire, with [[Team Aqua]] instead performing the same actions (with different reasoning) and awakening {{p|Kyogre}} instead.

===Pokémon Emerald===
Team Magma's deeds are partly the same in {{game|Emerald}} as they are in Ruby and Sapphire, with the plot to cause Mt. Chimney's eruption featured, as well as a new plot to steal rocket fuel from the [[Mossdeep Space Center]]. Groudon is eventually awakened deep within a [[Magma Hideout (Jagged Pass)|cavern used by Team Magma]] deep inside of Mt. Chimney. Both Team Magma's Maxie and Team Aqua's [[Archie]] realize what they've done has caused a terrible disaster, and make peace with one another after Groudon and Kyogre have been taken care of by {{p|Rayquaza}}.

===Pokémon Omega Ruby===
In Pokémon Omega Ruby, Team Magma's role in the story remains largely the same but their motivation has been significantly altered. While in the original versions of Ruby and Sapphire Team Magma saw a world with more landmass as ideal for both Pokémon and humans, in Omega Ruby Team Magma wishes to put an end to the misguided ideal of coexistence and expand the land to give humanity more space on which to build and develop civilization. This puts them in direct opposition to Team Aqua, who in this version of the story believe that the sea must be expanded to wipe out human civilization so that Pokémon may live without interference. Their schemes to obtain the [[Devon Parts]], Meteorite, and [[Captain Stern]]'s submarine are still intact, but are altered to the purpose of awakening Groudon and triggering its [[Primal Reversion]] via the [[Red Orb]]. Upon awakening it, however, the Legendary Pokémon's {{a|Desolate Land}} Ability nearly parches the entirety of Hoenn until the player successfully captures or defeats Primal Groudon. The ensuing flow of energy from the Cave of Origin leads to the two leaders, feeling remorseful for enforcing their will on nature at the risk of everything, resolving to start over the foundations of their teams in friendship.

Post-game, a division led by a distraught [[Courtney]] seeks to revive [[Project AZOTH]] for the renewal of Maxie's dream, in the wake of his recent guilt and demeanor. Upon their failure and defeat in Mossdeep's Space Center, Courtney is summoned back to the Magma Hideout in Lilycove. Upon her tearful apology, a surprised Maxie agrees to forgive her actions on one condition: that she forgive his aloofness and ruthlessness, and start over in Team Magma's mission with him. From this point on, rather than disbanding, Team Magma assumes a friendlier role working to rework their humanitarian ambitions for Hoenn, with the player welcome to visit the team in their hideout at any given time.

Whenever two members of Team Magma appear together in this game, their VS. portrait shows them striking a {{wp|dab (dance)|dab}}-like pose resembling a capital letter M.

==In the anime==
===Main series===
[[File:OPJ06 Team Magma.png|thumb|left|250px|Team Magma in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]
Like Team Rocket, Team Magma appeared in the [[AG002|second episode]] of [[Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire|their own series]]. Much of the time, their focus was on uncovering clues about the location of {{DL|Kyogre and Groudon (Ruby and Sapphire series)|Groudon}}, in the hope of using its power to restore land, though they often did not find anything useful. Team Magma and Team Aqua confronted each other in ''[[AG027|A Three Team Scheme!]]'' and ''[[AG054|Fight for the Meteorite!]]''. They eventually clashed in ''[[AG097|Gaining Groudon]]'' and ''[[AG098|The Scuffle of Legends]]'', and their feud ended in a destructive fight between the two super-ancient Pokémon, Groudon and {{DL|Kyogre and Groudon (Ruby and Sapphire series)|Kyogre}}.

Unlike Giovanni, [[Maxie]] himself never so much as picked up a Poké Ball, instead allowing his underlings to do the fighting for him. [[Tabitha]] generally oversaw the activities of the team, while [[Courtney]] did not appear at all. [[Brodie]] infiltrated many places as a master of disguise, however, it is unknown whether his rank is above that of a Grunt or not. Formerly, [[Butler]] from ''[[M06|Jirachi: Wish Maker]]'' worked as a scientist for Team Magma, intending to resurrect a Groudon from a Fossil, but was fired when he was unable to bring the project to fruition.

Team Magma's usual Pokémon include {{p|Golbat}}, {{p|Houndoom}}, and {{p|Mightyena}}. Brodie's team includes a sly {{p|Ditto}}, complimenting his nature, and Golbat. Team Magma seems to be well resourced with detailed knowledge of the ancient world, rare treasures in their possession, heat-seeking glasses and helicopter transport. The grunts respect those of higher rank and Maxie's orders are always heeded.

===Pokémon Generations===
[[File:Team Magma Grunt PG.png|thumb|250px|Team Magma in [[Pokémon Generations]]]]
Team Magma appeared in ''[[PG07|The Vision]]'', where their [[Team Magma Hideout|hideout]] was infiltrated by {{ga|Brendan}}. [[Maxie]], [[Tabitha]], and a small division of {{tc|Team Magma Grunt|Grunts}} left for the [[Seafloor Cavern]] with the [[Submarine Explorer 1]] while [[Courtney]] stayed behind to battle and stall Brendan.
{{-}}

==In the manga==
===Pokémon Ruby & Sapphire (CoroCoro Comics)===
[[File:Team_Magma_Shroomish.jpg|thumb|200px|Team Magma grunt with Shroomish.]]
Closely following the games' storyline, a Team Magma grunt attacks one of [[Devon]]'s scientists in [[Petalburg Woods]] and later battles Ruby. Unlike the games, this grunt uses a Shroomish.

===Pokémon Adventures===
===={{MangaArc|Ruby & Sapphire}}====
Team Magma are depicted at first as a lesser force compared to [[Team Aqua]]; their hideout is confined to a hole in the [[Route 111|desert]], and movement of the team in large numbers is often limited. Also, due to Aqua Leader [[Archie]] being in charge of [[Hoenn TV]] at the time, Team Magma operations were frequently reported by the media. However, Team Magma knew about the existence of the [[Red Orb|Red]] and [[Blue Orb]]s before Team Aqua did, so were able to claim an advantage, albeit temporary, over their rivals during the climax of this chapter.

Operations were mainly carried out by the [[Magma Admin (Trainer class)#In the manga|Three Fires]], a trio of {{tc|Magma Admin}}s. They successfully stole the [[Scanner]] from the [[Abandoned Ship]], using them to track the Orbs to [[Mt. Pyre]] where they stole them from the elderly couple that lived atop the mountain.

===={{MangaArc|Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire}}====
Team Magma's awareness of the Orbs may have been passed to them by [[Zinnia]] during a flashback in this chapter.

Despite the return of the original team leader [[Maxie]], there existed a new incarnation of the team known as '''Neo Team Magma''' (Japanese: '''新生マグマ団''' ''Neo Magma Gang''), headed by new incarnations of [[Courtney]] and [[Tabitha]], who claimed that their names were simply codenames used by Magma Admins. This team mainly served to cooperate with Zinnia.

===Pokémon Ruby-Sapphire===
Team Magma debuted in ''[[PMRS10|We've Found Team Magma's Secret!!]]''.

==In the TCG==
Team Magma is featured in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] in the {{TCG|EX Team Magma vs Team Aqua}} and {{TCG|Double Crisis}} expansions. Their ambitions and specialties in the trading card game are reflected in other mediums like the anime and games. Unlike [[Team Rocket]], which initially featured {{TCG|Dark Pokémon}} as an emphasis for their status as a villainous team, evolved Pokémon belonging to Team Magma are dual {{ct|Darkness}} in the EX Team Magma vs Team Aqua set. This mechanic would also be used in {{TCG|EX Team Rocket Returns}} for Team Rocket-related Pokémon.
