'''Cameron''' (Japanese: '''コテツ''' ''Kotetsu'') is a recurring character in the [[Pokémon anime]] who first appeared in ''[[BW093|Goodbye, Junior Cup - Hello Adventure!]]'' and a rival of [[Ash Ketchum]].

==History==
Cameron first appeared as {{Ash}}, {{an|Iris}}, {{an|Cilan}}, and {{an|Dawn}} were leaving the [[Pokémon World Tournament Junior Cup]]. He had meant to compete, but arrived too late.

He later appeared as the group was seeing Dawn off. He announced he was going to take part in the [[Unova League]], but he was missing his eighth [[Badge]] because he thought that only seven Badges were required to enter. He also mistakenly thought the League was going to be in [[Ecruteak City]] in [[Johto]].

In [[BW094|the next episode]], Cameron challenged [[Marlon]] to a [[Gym|Gym battle]] for a {{Badge|Wave}}. He used his {{p|Ferrothorn}} and {{p|Samurott}} to battle Marlon's {{p|Jellicent}} and {{p|Mantine}}. Ultimately, Cameron and his Pokémon were able to come through with the win against Marlon and his Pokémon in order to get the last Badge necessary for Cameron to compete in the [[Unova League]].

He reappeared in ''[[BW103|Curtain Up, Unova League!]]''. He had travelled to [[Vertress City]] to compete in the [[Vertress Conference]] and had set up his tent close to the hotel for the competitors, to make sure he wouldn't be too late to sign in. When Ash, {{ashfr}} and {{an|Bianca}}, [[Stephan]] and [[Virgil]] walked past his tent and met up with him, he heard from the others he was almost too late to sign in. Ash hurried with him to the registration counter and was just in time. In the first round he battled with his Ferrothorn against [[Kendrick]] and his {{p|Eelektross}}. The battle ended in ''[[BW104|Mission: Defeat Your Rival!]]'', and he won, allowing him to move on to the next round.

In the same episode it was revealed Cameron would face Bianca in the second round, in a two-on-two battle. Cameron started with his Samurott against Bianca's {{p|Escavalier}}. The Cavalry Pokémon was defeated rather quickly, after which Bianca sent out, much to everyone's shock, her Emboar. After withstanding super effective {{m|Aqua Jet}} and {{m|Hydro Cannon}}, however, Emboar used {{m|Attract}} on Samurott, causing it to become infatuated and soon defeated. Next Cameron chose to use Riolu, which Bianca thought to be very cute. Despite the notable size difference, Riolu was able to defeat the Mega Fire Pig Pokémon, causing Bianca to be eliminated from the Conference.

In ''[[BW106|Strong Strategy Steals the Show!]]'', it was revealed he would battle Ash in the quarter-finals. The battle started at the end of the episode and was continued in ''[[BW107|Cameron's Secret Weapon!]]''. He had a good start with his {{p|Hydreigon}} taking out two of Ash's Pokémon. Ash managed to take control of the battle however. At the end of the episode, while battling [[Ash's Snivy]], Cameron's Riolu [[evolution|evolved]] into a {{TP|Cameron|Lucario}}. The battle continued in ''[[BW108|A Unova League Evolution]]'', where Lucario managed to first defeat Snivy, and later also {{AP|Pikachu}}, eliminating Ash from the Conference. In the next round, Cameron battled against Virgil but lost, placing him on the top four. Later, after the closing ceremonies, Cameron bid farewell to Ash and {{ashfr}} before going on his own way.

Cameron makes cameo appearances in the ending ''[[Let's Join Hands]]'' and in the credits of ''[[M16|Genesect and the Legend Awakened]]''.

==Character==
Cameron is often forgetful at times and careless with numbers. He would arrive at a certain location at a later time. In two instances, he wanted to compete in Pokémon World Tournament Junior Cup but arrived during the end of the tournament and during the Vertress Conference. However, he managed to narrowly make it to the registration counter during the latter. He also thought that the number of Badges to qualify for the League was seven and the number of Pokémon used in a [[Full Battle]] was five, such as when he only brought five Pokemon with him in the Ventress Conference when it was decided that he would face {{Ash}} in a full battle. Despite this, Cameron was shown to have good battling skills as shown with his battle with [[Marlon]] as he managed to defeat him and win the {{badge|Wave}}.

'''Brock's Croagunk''' (Japanese: '''タケシのグレッグル''' ''Takeshi's Gureggru'') was the first {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} {{an|Brock}} {{pkmn2|caught|captured}} in the [[Sinnoh]] [[region]], and the ninth overall.

==History==
[[File:Brock Croagunk Drag.png|Croagunk pulling {{an|Brock}} away after {{m|Poison Jab|jabbing}} him|thumb|250px|left]]
Croagunk was first seen resting outside a supermarket in ''[[DP008|Gymbaliar!]]''. When {{MTR}} emerged from it, Croagunk followed him to where {{TRT}} was using a fake [[Gym]] to steal unsuspecting {{pkmn|Trainer}}s' Pokémon. Their plan was going badly as it required [[Jessie]] to win, but her {{TP|Jessie|Dustox}} kept losing, so she decided to use Croagunk and soon won many {{pkmn|battle}}s.
[[File:Croagunk Politoed.png|thumb|200px|Croagunk's {{pkmn|cosplay|impression}} of a {{p|Politoed}}]]
After {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} entered the Gym, Croagunk lost against [[Ash's Aipom]]. Team Rocket resorted to grabbing [[Ash's Pikachu]] and running off, leaving Croagunk behind in the process. Brock was the first to notice Croagunk, and, feeling a connection, Croagunk later willingly went into Brock's [[Poké Ball]].
[[File:Croagunk vs Toxicroak.png|thumb|left|250px|Croagunk vs. Toxicroak]]
Like [[Brock's Bonsly]], Croagunk has attacked Brock in order to continue the series' running gag of keeping Brock away from the girls who are the objects of his affection, to the point that even Croagunk's presence can be sensed by Brock, which may make Brock suddenly halt his romantic advances. When forcefully dragging Brock away from girls, he usually uses {{m|Poison Jab}}, which usually makes Brock suddenly collapse so Croagunk can easily drag Brock away. However, when Brock pledged to save [[Oralie]]'s {{p|Magikarp}} and [[Haley]]'s {{p|Feebas}} in ''[[DP021|Ya See We Want An Evolution!]]'', Croagunk jabbed Brock, which caused {{an|Dawn}} to remark that Croagunk may have gone too far. Croagunk generally chuckles or laughs after attacking Brock, so it is possible that he actually enjoys attacking Brock. However, Croagunk has also protected Brock from harm, such as falling off a bridge in ''[[DP057|Bibarel Gnaws Best!]]'' and from Saturn's Toxicroak's {{m|Dark Pulse}} attack in ''[[DP069|Enter Galactic!]]''.

[[File:Brock Croagunk Anticipation.png|thumb|220px|right|Anticipation activated]]
He has some unique characterization, as he acted alone many times. His actions were sometimes part of an episode plot. He has a unique fighting style, as shown in ''[[DP014|Leave It To Brocko!]]'', by defeating {{TP|Jessie|Seviper}} by repeatedly using {{m|Brick Break}} while Seviper was using {{m|Wrap}} on him, eventually ending in a draw.

Croagunk has been shown to have his own pace for things like eating, attacking, or following Brock. Similar to {{AP|Ash's Treecko|Sceptile}}, he is also a bit of a loner, preferring to sit alone when eating or just resting. Although he is seen mostly angry or without any emotion, he was seen happy in ''[[DP094|Doc Brock!]]''. In ''[[DP032|An Angry Combeenation!]]'', he didn't like the sweet taste of [[Honey]], which may imply his [[nature]] is brave, quiet, sassy or relaxed.

[[File:Croagunk odd.png|thumb|left|200px|Croagunk showing off his behavior]]
He is a very powerful Pokémon, as demonstrated in [[DP008|his debut episode]] where he beat many Trainers while he was under Jessie's command. He has since become Brock's main battling Pokémon and has proved his power again and again, even stopping a {{m|Draco Meteor}} attack in ''[[M10|The Rise of Darkrai]]''. He seems to have a rivalry developing with one of the other strength-oriented Pokémon on the cast, [[Ash's Buizel]]. He also has an extreme rivalry with [[Saturn's Toxicroak]], to the point of actually ignoring Brock's advances on women. In several episodes he has been shown to be unusually observant, and intelligent.

He has good hearing, as he could hear {{TP|Dawn|Buneary}} in the bush in ''[[DP009|Setting the World on its Buneary!]]'' and Team Rocket sneaking into [[Oreburgh Gym]] in ''[[DP018|O'er the Rampardos we Watched!]]''. He is sometimes aware of many strange or some unusual situations; in ''[[DP043|Malice in Wonderland!]]'', he saves the day when he jabs Brock and saves him from {{p|Mismagius}}'s illusions. He later was able to sense the oncoming [[Team Galactic]] attack in ''[[DP096|Losing Its Lustrous!]]'' — in particular, the approach of Saturn's Toxicroak.

He also can do a remarkable impression of a {{p|Politoed}}, as seen in ''[[DP033|All Dressed Up With Somewhere To Go!]]'', where his convincing {{pkmn|cosplay}} and acting won a Pokémon Cosplay Competition and the [[Pokémon Egg]] {{TP|Brock|prize|Chansey}}.

Croagunk has a fascination at looking at his reflection. This can be seen in several episodes, such as ''[[DP094|Doc Brock!]]'' and ''[[DP113|Hold the Phione!]]''.

In ''[[DP139|A Faux Oak Finish!]]'', Croagunk guided the gang through a marsh-like area, he then encountered a [[Wild Pokémon|wild]] {{p|Politoed}} and battled it.

In ''[[DP152|The Battle Finale of Legend!]]'', Croagunk's rivalry with Saturn's Toxicroak was settled when he defeated Toxicroak with a {{m|Brick Break}} on its head.

Croagunk reappeared in [[SS027]].

==Personality and characteristics==
Brock's Croagunk is very calm and collected. He appears to be unaffected by some attacks (as seen when Seviper uses Wrap on him). He has an excellent hearing ability, can sense things easily, & is depicted as being very intelligent. Apparently, he could leave very quietly as seen when Brock didn't even notice Croagunk left to find out what a noise was. After this, he saw Team Rocket, to which he scared them off by using his poison sacs. Croagunk likes to do things at his own pace, as well as being slow to obey orders from Brock (unless he is in a battle). Croagunk also can be described as vain as he likes to look at his reflection. Croagunk also has a bit of a mean side, shown when he stabs Brock and chuckles. Clash all of that together and one gets a mystery.

==Trivia==
[[File:Croagunk C-Gear skin.png|frame|A [[C-Gear]] skin featuring Croagunk]]
* According to the [[Pokétch]] in ''[[DP010|Not on MY Watch Ya Don't!]]'', Croagunk is [[friendship|very close]] to Brock. In fact, Croagunk is about as close to Brock as {{AP|Pikachu}} is to {{Ash}}, despite at the time having only been with him for two episodes, as opposed to Pikachu, which has been with Ash since [[EP001|the very first episode]].
* Croagunk was Brock's first Pokémon with both his gender and Ability confirmed.
* Croagunk hasn't learned any new moves since Brock captured him.
* Croagunk was featured in a [[List of Pokémon Global Link promotions/Skins#C-Gear skins|promotional C-Gear]] in Japan to celebrate [[SS025]], the anime special featuring {{an|Brock}}. This skin was later distributed internationally to tie in with the distribution of [[List of Pokémon Global Link promotions/Pokémon#Poison Jab Croagunk|a Croagunk]] that knew {{m|Poison Jab}} at an early level, as well as the release of a new {{pkmn|Dream World}} area, {{dwa|Rugged Mountain}}, where other Croagunk can be found.

'''Drapion''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ドラピオン''' ''Dorapion'') is a dual-type {{2t|Poison|Dark}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolve]]s from {{p|Skorupi}} starting at [[level]] 40.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Drapion is a large, purple, scorpion-like Pokémon. Its eyes are a pointed shape, with blue-colored upper portions. Drapion has two small, pointed protrusions between its eyes, and one on the back on its head. Drapion also has protrusions on its jaws, two on the upper and three on the lower, with large, fang-like, white-colored features extending from its mouth. Its body is composed of many violet-to-lavender body segments which ends with a tail with two stingers. Drapion has four segmented legs with pointed toes. Its most distinguished feature is its huge claws, which have a blue circular marking on the undersides, a similar marking being on the tail, and the fact that it can turn its head 180º.
====Gender differences====
None.

This Pokémon is very strong and has enough power to easily scrap a car. It's also encased in a tough exoskeleton and it is very poisonous. It can rotate its head 180 degrees, and can also extend its tail.

===Behavior===

[[File:Paul Drapion.png|thumb|250px|Drapion in the anime]]
===Major appearances===
Drapion's first appearance was in ''[[DP020|Mutiny in the Bounty!]]'', under [[J|Pokémon Hunter J]]'s ownership.

{{EF|Aaron}}'s Drapion appeared in ''[[DP099|A Trainer and Child Reunion!]]''.

Paul has a Drapion which he used to battle Ash in ''[[DP186|Familiarity Breeds Strategy!]]'', ''[[DP187|A Real Rival Rouser!]]'' and ''[[DP188|Battling a Thaw in Relations!]]''. It managed to defeat {{AP|Buizel}}, {{AP|Staraptor}} and {{AP|Torterra}} before losing to {{AP|Gliscor}}. It is unknown whether it is the same one he tried to capture in ''[[DP081|Chim - Charred!]]''.

==In the manga==
[[File:B2 Drapion.png|thumb|Drapion in {{pkmn|Diamond and Pearl Adventure!}}]]
===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
Two {{tc|Scientist}}s working for [[Team Galactic]] fought {{adv|Diamond}}, {{adv|Pearl}}, and {{adv|Platinum}} while guarding [[Lake Valor]]. One of these scientists used a Drapion, whose ability to turn its head in a 180 degree angle allowed it to find Diamond's hiding {{p|Munchlax}}, {{adv|Lax}}, with ease.

Like in the games, {{EF|Aaron}} has a Drapion. However, it has not been seen battling.

===In the Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Adventure! manga===
[[B-2]] of [[Team Galactic]] uses a Drapion while attacking [[Hareta]] on [[Iron Island]]. The ensuing battle causes Hareta's {{p|Shinx}} to evolve into {{p|Luxio}}.

Another Drapion was conditioned by [[Charon]] into a mindless battle machine.

===In the Pocket Monsters Platinum: Aim to Be Battle King!! manga===
Drapion appeared under the ownership of an unknown Trainer who battled [[Yū Shirogane|Yū]]'s {{p|Lucario}}.

===In the Pokémon Ranger Batonnage - the Comic manga===
Like in [[Pokémon Ranger: Shadows of Almia]], [[Kincaid]] controls a Drapion and uses it against [[Kellyn]].

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

==Trivia==
* As of [[Generation V]], Drapion and {{p|Skorupi|its pre-evolution}}'s [[Egg Group]] ({{egg|Bug}} and {{egg|Water 3}}) are unique.

===Origin===
Drapion is based on a {{wp|scorpion}}, and has some characteristics that resemble a {{wp|Thelyphonida|vinegarroon}} (a similar arachnid). Its {{egg|Water 3}} Egg Group designation may be a reference to the ancient group of arthropods known as {{wp|Eurypterid|sea scorpions}} that used to inhabit the oceans and may have been the ancestors of modern scorpions.

====Name origin====
Drapion and Dorapion may be a combination of ''dragon'', ''drastic'' (referring to its violent nature), or ''Dracula'' (referring to its huge vampire-looking teeth) and ''{{wp|scorpion}}''.

Size discrepancies in the animated series

2013-11-19T08:06:46Z

Dragonick: /* Drapion */

{{incomplete}}
Aside from [[giant Pokémon]], many {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} in the [[Pokémon anime]] suffer from large '''size discrepancies''' between the information given in the [[Pokémon games]]' [[Pokédex]] and their actual animated presentation. These Pokémon are apparently "normal sized" as far as the anime's universe is concerned. Many of Ash Ketchum's Pokémon are often subject to size discrepancies, often appearing smaller than other Pokémon of the same species.

This may be a style or aesthetic decision, a case of the writers not checking the information in detail, or for story purposes.

Some of the most notable size discrepancies will be noted below.

==Articuno==
{{p|Articuno}} are about 5'07" (1.70m), although in ''[[AG136|The Symbol Life]]'' it appears to be closer to 6'07" (2m).

==Blastoise==
{{p|Blastoise}} are normally 5'03" (1.60m) tall, while in the anime they appear closer to 6'03" (1.90m) tall.

==Bulbasaur==
{{p|Bulbasaur}} are about 2'04" (70cm), similar in height to {{p|Buizel}}. In anime episodes, it appears closer to 1'04" (40cm), though this may be due to its Pokédex height being measured from head to tail.

==Charizard==
{{p|Charizard}} are usually 5'7" (1.75m) tall, but [[Ash's Charizard]] is taller than that, at about 7'00 (2.10m) tall. Oddly enough, it is shown in ''[[EP134|Charizard's Burning Ambition]]'' that Ash's Charizard is rather small when compared with the Charizard living in [[Charicific Valley]]. Also, in ''[[AG177|Grating Spaces]]'', a Charizard was shown to be as tall as an {{p|Aggron}}, 6'11" (2.10 m).

==Croagunk==
{{p|Croagunk}} are generally 2'04" (70cm) in height, with an anime height closer to 1'04" (40cm).

==Drapion==
{{p|Drapion}} are generally 4'03" (1.30m) in height, but in the anime, they are about twice that height.

==Dunsparce==
{{p|Dunsparce}} are normally 4'11" (1.49m) in height, approximately the height of {{Ash}}. In ''[[DP001|Following a Maiden's Voyage!]]'', they appear to be shorter than a {{p|Pidgey}}, which is 1'00" (30cm). However, this may also be due to the measurement being from head to tail instead, making the mistake slightly less drastic.

==Electivire==
{{p|Electivire}} are normally 5'11" (1.80m), but in the anime they are closer to 6'11" (2.10m).

==Electrode==
{{p|Electrode}} are normally 3'11" (1.20m), but in ''[[AG041|What You Seed is What You Get!]]'' it is seen to be the same height as {{p|Slugma}}, 2'04" (70cm).

==Floatzel==
{{p|Floatzel}} are generally 3'07" (1.10m) in height, but in ''[[DP083|A Crasher Course in Power!]]'', when Crasher Wake's was standing in front of [[Ash's Buizel]], it was shown to be about 4'03" (1.30m).

==Forretress==
{{p|Forretress}} are about 3'11" (1.20m), but in all of its appearances in the anime, it is shown to be 1'08" (50cm).

==Gabite==
{{p|Gabite}} are normally 4'07" (1.40m) in height, but [[Ursula]]'s Gabite from ''[[DP114|Another One Gabites the Dust!]]'' was at least a couple inches taller than Ash, Dawn, and Ursula, who are all about 5'0" (1.50m) tall.

==Gengar==
{{p|Gengar}} are shown to be 4'11" (1.50m), but in all of its appearances in the anime, it is shown to be 3'07" (1.10m).

==Glalie==
{{p|Glalie}} are 4'11" (1.50m). [[Ash's Glalie]] is extremely small compared to others of its species, appearing to be closer to 2'00" (60cm).

==Golduck==
{{p|Golduck}} are about 5'07" (1.70m), although in ''[[DP007|Like It or Lup It!]]'' when it was standing near {{p|Ludicolo}}, it was shown to be about 3'03" (1m).

==Grovyle and Combusken==
While normally {{p|Grovyle}} and {{p|Combusken}} are about 2'11" (90cm), [[Ash's Grovyle]] and [[May's Combusken]] appear to be much larger, being almost as tall as Ash and May. Assuming that {{Ash}} is about 5'0" (1.50m), that estimates Grovyle and Combusken to be around 4'0" (1.20m). The other Grovyle that have appeared were around this size as well.

==Hariyama==
{{p|Hariyama}} are 7'07" (2.30m). However, [[Brawly's Hariyama]] is extremely small for its species. In ''[[AG020|Brave The Wave!]]'', it appears to only be around 4'11" (1.50m).

==Lombre==
{{p|Lombre}} are shown to be 3'11" (1.20m). [[Brock's Lombre]] appears to be shorter than that height, and looking to be more around 2'07 (80cm).

==Magmortar==
{{p|Magmortar}} are normally 5'03" (1.60m), but in the anime they are closer to 7'00" (2.10m).

==Metagross==
{{p|Metagross}} are normally 5'03" (1.60m), but {{ho|Tyson}}'s seems shorter than this in ''[[AG130|Choose It or Lose It!]]'', at 2'11" (90cm). Another Metagross appeared in ''[[DP117|Noodles! Roamin' Off!]]'' and shown to be taller even than [[James]], about 6'03" (1.90m).

==Noctowl==
{{p|Noctowl}} are about 5'3" (1.60m), approaching average human height. [[Ash's Noctowl]], however, is extremely small for that size, looking to be more around 2'00 (60cm). Although it's been mentioned that Ash's Noctowl is unusually small, the other two Noctowl that have appeared in the anime don't seem to be more than 4'0" (1.20m) tall.

==Nosepass==
{{p|Nosepass}} are normally 3'3" (1m) in height. However, in [[AG016|the episode Nosepass debuted in]], Nosepass is far bigger than it is supposed to be, at about 5'6" (1.70m) compared to the normal Nosepass.

==Pidgeotto==
{{p|Pidgeotto}} are normally 3'07" (1.10m), although during the series it appears to be only 2'04" (70cm).

==Rapidash==
{{p|Rapidash}} are normally 5'07" (1.70m). However, in Ash's flashback in ''[[DP138|Strategy Begins at Home!]]'', it was shown to be about 3'03" (1m) tall, about the size of a {{p|Ponyta}}.

==Roselia==
One of the more renowned changes in size is in {{p|Roselia}}, which are extremely small - only about a foot (30cm) tall. However, the {{TP|Drew|Roselia|Roserade}} in the anime come up to a [[Drew|10-year old's]] waist. An estimate would put the anime incarnation of them at about 3' (90cm) tall. This caused much confusion when [[Pokémon Colosseum]] and [[Pokémon Adventures]] both featured the Pokémon at its actual smaller size.

==Seviper==
[[Jessie's Seviper]] appears to change sizes during the series, sometimes even in the same episode. For example, when it made its debut, it was shorter than [[Jessie]]. However, it has also been shown as being taller than her, which according to the Pokédex it should be.

==Smeargle==
{{p|Smeargle}} are about 3'11" (1.20m), although in ''[[EP197|Art of Pokémon]]'' it is shown to be 2'04" (70cm).

==Togekiss==
[[Dawn's Togekiss|Togekiss]], in its [[DP171|episode debut]], was shown to be slightly taller than Dawn. In all episodes since, it has been shown to approach close to her hip.

==Wailmer==
{{p|Wailmer}} are generally 6'07" (2m) in height, although the one in ''[[DP109|Leading a Stray!]]'' was shown to be more than twice the size of Ash, who is approximately 5'0" (1.50m) tall, therefore making it more than 10'0" (3m) tall.

==Whismur==
{{p|Whismur}} are very small Pokémon at around 2'00" (60cm). In ''[[AG039|A Pokéblock Party!]]'', a Whismur was around the size of 1'00" (30cm), and was noticeably not much larger than [[Max]]'s head. A second Whismur appeared in ''[[AG188|Pinch Healing!]]'' and, while standing, came up to Max's neck.

'''Kadabra''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ユンゲラー''' ''Yungerer'') is a {{type|Psychic}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Abra}} starting at [[level]] 16 and evolves into {{p|Alakazam}} when [[trade]]d.

==Biology==
Kadabra is a primarily yellow, humanoid Pokémon. It has two large, pointed ears on top of its head, a red star on its forehead, and wide cheeks leading down to a thin snout. Its eyes are deep-set and narrow. Extending from its snout are two mustache-like tufts of fur, with males having longer mustaches than females. Kadabra's torso is segmented with bulky shoulders, a thick, brown chest, and a small abdomen marked by three red, wavy lines. Attached to the Pokémon's abdomen is a large, thick tail encircled with a brown band near its base. Its arms are thin with brown elbows, and end in three-fingered hands with white claws. Its legs have prominent knees and large, three-toed feet, also ending in white claws. Kadabra is always seen carrying a silver spoon, which amplifies its telekinetic powers.

Kadabra emits alpha waves strong enough to induce headaches, and can even cause clocks to run backwards, machines to malfunction, and delicate devices to cease functioning altogether. When it has a headache, the alpha waves become unusual. Kadabra can double the amplitude of its alpha waves when holding its spoon, and can increase it even further by closing its eyes. The waves increase further in strength the more danger Kadabra faces. Kadabra has an eidetic memory & recalls everything that it has experienced since hatching. All of Kadabra's brain cells work in unison while it uses its powers. Kadabra lives in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Urban Pokémon|urban areas}}.

==Trivia==
*In the [[Pokémon Red and Green beta|Pokémon Red and Blue beta]], Kadabra was originally known as ''Pocus''.
*In Kadabra's {{3v2|Red|Green|Blue}} sprites, the red five-pointed star is missing from its forehead.
*Kadabra has not been printed as a {{Trading Card Game}} card since the {{TCG|Skyridge}} expansion. This may be due to Nintendo and Pokémon Card Laboratories' desire not to provoke {{wp|Uri Geller}}'s [[Pokémon controversy#Uri Geller|litigious nature]].
**For possibly the same reason, Kadabra has not made any anime appearances since ''[[AG146|Fear Factor Phony]]''.
**Kadabra also didn't appear in [[Pokémon Ranger: Shadows of Almia]], whereas {{p|Abra}} and {{p|Alakazam}} did.
*Due to an oversight, a Kadabra that holds an {{evostone|Everstone}} will still evolve when traded between any of the [[Generation IV]] or [[Generation V|V]] games.

===Origin===
Kadabra is based on magicians and {{wp|Spoon bending|spoon bender}}s. It also shares similarities with {{wp|goat}}s and {{wp|foxes}}, two animals mythologically tied to magic.

====Name origin====
Kadabra is part of an incantation used in {{wp|magic (illusion)|stage magic}}, ''{{wp|Abracadabra}}''. It may also derive from the Spanish word ''cabra'' (goat).

Yungerer is a corruption of {{wp|Uri Geller}} (with リ ''ri'' replaced by the visually similar ン ''n''), who claims to have the ability to bend spoons with his mind, as the Japanese names of the Abra line are based on famous mystics. Geller attempted to {{wp|Uri Geller#Copyright claims|make a case}} against [[Nintendo|Nintendo of America]] for using his likeness in a character and lost, Nintendo's defense being that they had not named any Pokémon after actual people.

'''Abra''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ケーシィ''' ''Casey'') is a {{type|Psychic}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Kadabra}} starting at [[level]] 16, which evolves into {{p|Alakazam}} when [[trade]]d.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Abra is a {{DL|List of Pokémon by body style|Pokémon with a bipedal, tailed form|bipedal, tailed}} Pokémon that loosely resembles a fox. It has two short, fox-like ears on the top of its head, and in the middle of its face, it has two eyes that are usually seen shut. It has a somewhat lighter color around its nose and mouth. Abra looks like it is wearing armor, as it has two {{wp|pauldron}}-shaped pieces on its shoulders and a {{wp|fauld}}-like piece around its chest. It, like its evolutionary relatives, has three fingers on each hand, although much stubbier, and three toes, two in the front on either side, and one in the back near the ankle. Its tail is thick and is the same gold color as the rest of its body, except for the brown band that is located around the top of the tail.
====Gender differences====
None.

===Special abilities===
Possessing the ability to read minds, Abra can sense danger. When it does, it usually {{m|teleport}}s in order to escape danger. It has been observed that once every hour, it will teleport to another location. By hypnotizing itself, it can send itself into sleep and be able to teleport while doing so. If it decides to teleport randomly, it creates the illusion of multiple copies. However, it can sometimes know some of the attacks its evolved forms know (although, they would not be as strong). It also has the ability to levitate over water (though it cannot avoid moves like {{m|Earthquake}}), shown in the [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon|Mystery Dungeon]] games. Although Abra will usually flee when it is in apparent danger, they do have the ability to learn many attacks, both physical and special. Abra also possesses an eidetic memory, remembering literally everything that it experiences upon its hatching.

===Behavior===
Abra spend 18 hours a day sleeping. If they do not obtain enough sleep, they are unable to utilize its teleportation and telekinetic abilities. Despite this, Abra is capable of attacking while asleep; however, Abra usually avoid fighting by using {{m|Teleport}} to escape.

===Habitat===
[[File:Urban Habitat.png|thumb|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Urban Pokémon}}]]
Abra live in urban areas, close to humans. Mostly they are found in abandoned buildings left to disrepair. Due to these habits, they are very widespread, found in [[Kanto]], [[Johto]], [[Hoenn]], and [[Sinnoh]].

{{adv|Green}} is seen to have an Abra as of {{PAV|13}}, using its {{m|Teleport}} attack to transport {{adv|Silver}} away to a safer location. The boy was able to take this opportunity to seize a [[Flower Mail]] from the Pokémon with his {{TP|Silver|Sneasel}} though, and appear in [[Ilex Forest]] to participate in the last battle with the [[Masked Man]].

[[Saturn]] also has an Abra that he used against [[Paka and Uji]], but after putting up a tough fight, lost along with his {{p|Croagunk}}.

==Trivia==
* In the [[Pokémon Red and Green beta|Pokémon Red and Blue beta]], Abra was originally known as "Hocus".
* Abra has the highest {{stat|Special Attack}} of all unevolved Pokémon. It shares this honor with {{p|Solosis}}.

===Origin===
It is likely based on a mystic or psychic. It also has similarities to {{wp|goat}}s and {{wp|foxes}}, both animals with ties to magic.

====Name origin====
Abra is part of an incantation used in {{wp|magic (illusion)|stage magic}}, ''{{wp|Abracadabra}}''. It may also derive from the Spanish word ''cabra'' (goat).

Casey is a reference to {{wp|Edgar Cayce}}, a purported psychic famous for entering self-induced trances, as the Japanese names of the Abra line are based on famous mystics.

'''Hyper Cutter''' (Japanese: '''かいりきバサミ''' ''Superpowerful Claws'') is an [[ability]] introduced in [[Generation III]]. Nine {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} have this Ability, all of which have powerful claws or jaws.

==Effect==
===In battle===
Hyper Cutter prevents the {{stat|Attack}} stat from being reduced (except those self-inflicted) from moves such as {{m|Growl}} or abilities such as {{a|Intimidate}}. The stat can be changed however by {{m|Power Swap}} or {{m|Heart Swap}} and infict a stat boost with {{m|Swagger}}.

===Outside of battle===
In {{game|Emerald}}, using {{m|Cut}} will remove all [[tall grass]] within a two square radius of the player's position, as opposed to a one square radius without this Ability. In [[Generation IV]], Hyper Cutter has no effect outside of battle due to removal of cutting tall grass.

Brock's Croagunk

'''Brock's Croagunk''' (Japanese: '''タケシのグレッグル''' ''Takeshi's Gureggru'') was the first [[Pokémon]] {{an|Brock}} {{pkmn2|caught|captured}} in the [[Sinnoh]] [[region]], and the ninth overall.

==History==
[[Image:Brock Croagunk Drag.png|Croagunk pulling {{an|Brock}} away after {{m|Poison Jab|jabbing}} him|thumb|250px|left]]
Croagunk was first seen resting outside a supermarket in ''[[DP008|Gymbaliar!]]''. When {{MTR}} emerged from it, Croagunk followed him to where [[Team Rocket]] was using a fake [[gym]] to steal unsuspecting {{pkmn|Trainer}}s' Pokémon. Their plan was going badly as it required [[Jessie]] to win, but her {{TP|Jessie|Dustox}} kept losing, so she decided to use Croagunk and soon won many {{pkmn|battle}}s.

After {{Ash}} and {{ashfr|his friends}} entered the gym, Croagunk lost against {{TP|Dawn|Ash's Aipom|Ambipom}}. Team Rocket resorted to grabbing [[Ash's Pikachu]] and running off, leaving Croagunk behind in the process. Brock was the first to notice Croagunk, and, feeling a connection, Croagunk later willingly went into Brock's [[Poké Ball]].

Like {{TP|Brock|Brock's Bonsly|Sudowoodo}}, Croagunk has attacked Brock in order to continue the series' running gag of keeping Brock away from the girls who are the objects of his affection, to the point that even Croagunk's presence can be sensed by Brock, which may make Brock suddenly halt his romantic advances. When forcefully dragging Brock away from girls, he usually uses {{m|Poison Jab}}, which usually makes Brock suddenly collapse so Croagunk can easily drag Brock away. However, when Brock pledged to save [[Oralie]]'s {{p|Magikarp}} and [[Haley]]'s {{p|Feebas}} in ''[[DP021|Ya See We Want An Evolution!]]'', Croagunk jabbed Brock, which caused {{an|Dawn}} to remark that Croagunk may have gone too far. Croagunk generally chuckles or laughs after attacking Brock, so it is possible that he actually enjoys attacking Brock. However, Croagunk has also protected Brock from harm, such as falling off a bridge in ''[[DP057|Bibarel Gnaws Best!]]'' and from Saturn's Toxicroak's {{m|Dark Pulse}} attack in ''[[DP069|Enter Galactic!]]''.
[[Image:Croagunk Politoed.png|Croagunk's {{pkmn|cosplay|impression}} of a {{p|Politoed}}|thumb|200px]]
He has some unique characterization, as he acted alone many times. His actions were sometimes part of an episode plot. He has a unique fighting style, as shown in ''[[DP014|Leave It To Brocko!]]'', by defeating {{TP|Jessie|Seviper}} by repeatedly using {{m|Brick Break}} while Seviper was using {{m|Bind}} on him, eventually ending in a draw.

Croagunk has been shown to have his own pace for things like eating, attacking, or following Brock. Similar to {{AP|Ash's Treecko|Sceptile}}, he is also a bit of a loner, preferring to sit alone when eating or just resting. Although he is seen mostly angry or without any emotion, he was seen happy in ''[[DP094|Doc Brock!]]''. In ''[[DP032|An Angry Combeenation!]]'', he didn't like the sweet taste of [[honey]], which may imply his [[nature]] is brave, quiet, sassy or relaxed.

He is a very powerful Pokémon, as demonstrated in [[DP008|his debut episode]] where he beat many Trainers while he was under Jessie's command. He has since become Brock's main battling Pokémon and has proved his power again and again, even stopping a {{m|Draco Meteor}} attack in ''[[M10|The Rise of Darkrai]]''. He seems to have a rivalry developing with one of the other strength-oriented Pokémon on the cast, [[Ash's Buizel]]. He also has an extreme rivalry with [[Saturn's Toxicroak]], to the point of actually ignoring Brock's advances on women. In several episodes he has been shown to be unusually observant, and intelligent.

[[File:Croagunk vs Toxicroak.png|thumb|left|250px|Croagunk vs. Toxicroak]]
He has good hearing, as he could hear {{TP|Dawn|Buneary}} in the bush in ''[[DP009|Setting the World on its Buneary!]]'' and Team Rocket sneaking into [[Oreburgh Gym]] in ''[[DP018|O'er the Rampardos we Watched!]]''. He is sometimes aware of many strange or some unusual situations; in ''[[DP043|Malice in Wonderland!]]'', he saves the day when he jabs Brock and saves him from {{p|Mismagius}}'s illusions. He later was able to sense the oncoming [[Team Galactic]] attack in ''[[DP096|Losing Its Lustrous!]]'' — in particular, the approach of Saturn's Toxicroak.

He also can do a remarkable impression of a {{p|Politoed}}, as seen in ''[[DP033|All Dressed Up With Somewhere To Go!]]'', where his convincing {{pkmn|cosplay}} and acting won a Pokémon Cosplay Competition and the [[Pokémon egg]] prize.

Croagunk has a fascination at looking at his reflection. This can be seen in several episodes, such as ''[[DP094|Doc Brock!]]'' and ''[[DP113|Hold the Phione!]]''.

In ''[[DP139|A Faux Oak Finish!]]'', Croagunk guided the gang through a marsh-like area, he then encountered a [[Wild Pokémon|wild]] {{p|Politoed}} and battled it.

In ''[[DP152|The Battle Finale of Legend!]]'', Croagunk's rivalry with Saturn's Toxicroak was settled when he defeated Toxicroak with a {{m|Brick Break}} to the head.

==Trivia==
* According to the [[Pokétch]] in ''[[DP010|Not on MY Watch Ya Don't!]]'', Croagunk is [[Happiness|very close]] to Brock. In fact, Croagunk is about as close to Brock as {{AP|Pikachu}} is to {{Ash}}, despite at the time having only been with him for two episodes, as opposed to Pikachu, which has been with Ash since ''[[EP001|Pokémon - I Choose You!]]''.
* Croagunk is the first {{type2|Fighting}} Pokémon owned by Brock.
* He is Brock's first Pokémon in the {{egg|Humanshape}} egg group.
* Croagunk's Japanese voice can be sometimes heard in many of the English dubbed episodes.
* Croagunk was Brock's first Pokémon with both its gender and ability confirmed. The second was {{TP|Brock|Sudowoodo}}.
* Croagunk hasn't learned any new moves since Brock captured it, just like Dawn's {{TP|Dawn|Buneary}}.

Paralysis (status condition)

2011-03-02T04:18:35Z

Dragonick: /* Effect */

{{incomplete|needs=Gen II, IV and V, Non-game info}}
[[File:PikachuStatic.png|right|thumb|{{AP|Pikachu}} paralyzing {{TP|Paul|Ursaring}}|250px]]
The '''paralysis''' condition (PAR) (Japanese:'''まひ''' ''Paralysis'') causes a Pokémon to be unable to attack ("fully paralyzed") a quarter of the time. Additionally, its {{stat|Speed}} is reduced to 25% of its previous value (except for Pokémon with the {{a|Quick Feet}} ability, where this condition raises the Speed by 50%). Many moves that cause paralysis are {{type|Electric}}. {{type|Ground}} Pokémon can be paralyzed, but not by Electric-type moves or by the [[Battle Arcade]]. In Generation V, Pokémon glow yellow when afflicted with paralysis.

==Effect==
In general, a paralyzed Pokémon runs a 25% risk of losing their turn due to full paralysis. In addition, the afflicted Pokémon's {{stat|Speed}} decreases to 25%. The specifics work differently between [[generation]]s.

===Generation I===
Changing the Speed modifier of a paralyzed Pokémon would reset the Speed to act as if the Pokémon were not paralyzed, effectively nullifying the cut stat. {{m|Rest}} cures the affliction, but it does not fix the Speed reduction caused by it. In {{eng|Pokémon Stadium}}, both of those errors were fixed. Additionally, the move {{m|Haze}} would cure the user's Speed drop if it was paralyzed until it was next switched in.

===Generation II===
If a paralyzed Pokémon {{m|Baton Pass}}ed to another paralyzed Pokémon, the second one would not have its Speed reduced until a move which affected the Speed stat modifier, recalculating its Speed, was used. In [[Pokémon Stadium 2]], however, the new Pokémon's Speed is reduced if the last Speed-modifying attack used was one that raised Speed. It will not be reduced if the new Pokémon uses a Speed-modifying attack.

==Causes==
===Moves===
For a [[status ailment]], Paralysis is rather common. There are a variety of attacks that can cause this condition,

===Other causes===
A Pokémon has a 30% chance of being paralyzed after making [[contact]] with one with the {{a|Static}} ability. In addition, {{a|Effect Spore}} has a 30% of causing either Paralysis, {{status|Sleep}}, or {{status|Poison}}. It can also be paralyzed if it directly paralyzed a Pokémon with {{a|Synchronize}}.

==Prevention and curing==
===Items===
Paralysis can be cured with the use of a {{DL|Status ailment healing item|Parlyz Heal}} or a [[Cheri Berry]] ({{DL|Berries (Generation II)|PRZCureBerry}} in [[Generation II]]). In addition, like all other major [[status ailment]]s, it can be cured by the items {{DL|Status ailment healing item|Full Heal}}, {{DL|Status ailment healing item|Lava Cookie}}, {{DL|Status ailment healing item|Huin Ice}}, {{DL|Potion|Full Restore}}, {{DL|Status ailment healing item|Old Gateau}}, {{DL|Herbal medicine|Heal Powder}}, [[Lum Berry]] and [[Sacred Ash]].

===Moves and abilities===
{{m|Refresh}} and {{m|Rest}} can remove the paralysis status ailment from the user, while {{m|Heal Bell}} and {{m|Aromatherapy}} removes it from all Pokémon in the party. A Pokémon with {{a|Natural Cure}} will be cured upon switching out, one with the {{a|Hydration}} ability will be cured whilst it is [[weather conditions|raining]], and one with {{a|Shed Skin}} has a ⅓ chance of being cured every turn. In [[Generation IV]], Pokémon with {{a|Magic Guard}} are immune to full paralysis. A Pokémon with {{a|Limber}} is fully immune to paralysis. {{m|SmellingSalt}} will deal double damage if the target is parlyzed, but will cure the paralysis.

==Advantages==
While paralysis, like all major status ailments, has primarily negative effects, it can be advantageous to have it in certain conditions. Pokémon with {{a|Guts}}, {{a|Marvel Scale}}, and {{a|Quick Feet}} will have their {{stat|Attack}}, {{stat|Defense}}, and {{stat|Speed}} increased, respectively, when paralyzed, {{status|poison}}ed, or {{status|burn}}ed. In addition, the base power of {{m|Facade}} is doubled (from 70 to 140) when inflicted with any of these three status ailments.

'''Misty''' (Japanese: '''カスミ''' ''Kasumi'') is a friend and former traveling partner of [[Ash Ketchum]].

==Character==
[[File:MistyEP.png|thumb|left|200px|Misty as seen in the {{series|original}}]]
A stubborn tomboy, Misty is the youngest of [[The Sensational Sisters|four sisters]] who live in the Cerulean Gym. Fed up with her more glamorous older sisters, Misty left the gym with the goal of becoming the world's greatest {{t|Water}} [[Pokémon Trainer]]. She met {{Ash}} when she "caught" him with her fishing line in a river between [[Pallet Town]] and [[Viridian City]]. She traveled around with Ash, {{an|Brock}}, and {{Tracey}} through the [[Kanto]] region, [[Orange Archipelago|Orange Islands]], and [[Johto]] region.

Her purpose was ostensibly to get Ash to replace her [[bicycle]], which he had accidentally destroyed when they first met. However, Misty often seemed to have forgotten about the bicycle, indicating that her real reason for following along was that she simply wanted to remain with her friends.

During her travels with Ash, she, aside from training to become the best {{t|Water}} [[Pokémon Trainer]], also acted as his coach in many Pokémon battles. She is somewhat considered as a rival to Ash due to their competitive nature. It was also her job to drag Brock away from women by his ear.

Misty can be sweet and optimistic at times, but she is best known for how easily she can be angered, crazy, or frustrated, and how loud and violent she can become in response. She is very extreme in most of her moods, and can switch between them quickly. There are many episodes where she is seen getting along with the younger siblings of the family, namely [[Mikey]], [[Sakura]], and [[Max]]. This stems from the fact that she understands what it's like to be the youngest because she has three older sisters.
[[File:Mistys fear of bugs.png|thumb|right|200px|Misty showing her fear of bugs]]
Her goals are not as clear as those of the other main characters, since though her main interest is {{pkmn|training}} {{type2|Water}} Pokémon, there's many things she loves to do and she is very confident in her abilities in all aspects of life. [[Fishing]] is one of her hobbies, however, and she has a [[Misty's special lure|special lure]] which she designed to look like herself and gave to Ash as a gift. The one [[Elemental types|Pokémon type]] that Misty cannot stand are {{type2|Bug}}s; she tends to freak out in most cases whenever she encounters a Bug-type, which was first demonstrated when she refused to befriend Ash's {{AP|Caterpie|Butterfree}}. However, bugs are only one of three things Misty strongly dislikes, the other two being {{wp|carrots}} and {{wp|peppers}}. The only Bug-type Pokémon Misty is not afraid are the kinds that she deems "cute" or "pretty", like {{p|Ledyba}} and {{p|Butterfree}}, some belonging to her friends, like [[Tracey's Venonat]], or ones that don't look like bugs, like {{p|Pineco}}.

Misty participated in the [[Whirl Cup]] alongside Ash from ''[[EP215|Octillery the Outcast]]'' to ''[[EP217|The Perfect Match]]''. She defeated Ash in battle in the second round. Misty made it all the way to the best eight of the Whirl Cup, but narrowly lost to [[Trinity]] in the end.

After Ash competed in the [[Silver Conference]], however, her bicycle was repaired and returned to her by the [[Viridian City]] [[Nurse Joy]]. Misty was shown to be sad that she no longer had the convenient excuse to travel with Ash, especially when she saw that Ash hadn't learned that and had assumed she followed him because of her bike. In addition, her sisters {{an|Daisy}}, {{ka|Lily}}, and [[Violet]], called Misty at this time to tell her they were going on a world tour, and needed her to return to Cerulean and watch the Gym in their absence. However, Misty saw how Ash truly cared for her when he saved her from a trio of [[Invincible Pokémon Brothers|Pokémon gangsters]]. Misty wanted to stay with Ash, but felt it was her responsibility to take over the Gym, which would be shut down if left unattended.

Upon the return of her sisters, Misty remained the sole Cerulean [[Gym Leader]]. Since their return, only Daisy appears to spend any significant amount of time at the Gym.

While working in the gym, Misty sometimes receives help from Tracey when he is either visiting or running an errand for {{an|Professor Oak}}.

Misty reappeared from ''[[AG044|The Princess and the Togepi]]'' to ''[[AG045|A Togepi Mirage!]]'' where she meets up with Ash and Brock again, along with meeting May and Max for the first time. During the episode ''A Togepi Mirage'', her Togepi evolves into a Togetic and helps defend the Togepi Paradise. Towards the end of the episode, Togetic decides to stay with the other Togepi to protect them, sharing one last tearful moment with Misty. She makes three more appearances in the {{series|Advanced Generation}} from ''[[AG132|The Scheme Team]]'' to ''[[AG134|A Real Cleffa-Hanger]]'', as well as ''[[The Mastermind of Mirage Pokémon]]''.

==Appearance==
Misty's usual hairstyle is a side ponytail which sticks out on the left side of her head. There are times she has let her hair down, sometimes when she goes to sleep. She has also been shown wearing hair extensions when she wore her mermaid costumes in the ''[[EP061|The Misty Mermaid]]'' and ''[[SS002|Cerulean Blues]]''. Misty is also notably taller than Ash but shorter than Brock. She has worn three main outfits in the series and all of them sport the colors yellow, blue, and red.

==Pokémon==
Either through the tradition of her family's gym or merely her love of them, Misty prefers to train Water Pokémon. She usually bases her choice of Pokémon to train by looks, preferring Pokémon that she thinks of as "cute" over ones that she thinks are "ugly," but is willing to overcome such differences. Her love of water Pokémon stems from the fact that they are extremely flexible in battle, meaning that they can easily adapt to the opponent, as she stated in ''[[EP240|Some Like It Hot]]''. Since becoming gym leader, she has overcome her fear of Gyarados and continues to learn more about caring and battling with water Pokémon as challengers come to the [[Cerulean Gym]].

This is a listing of Misty's Pokémon as of the most recent Japanese episode. As she is currently residing in the Cerulean Gym, all of her Pokémon are there and none are listed as "on hand."

She presumably also has access to any other Pokémon at the gym, such as [[Caserin and Luverin|Luverin]], {{p|Seaking}}, {{p|Goldeen}}, {{p|Shellder}}, {{p|Magikarp}}, and {{p|Seel}}, due to being the Gym Leader.

Psyduck used {{m|Confusion}} on a wave which Golduck rode and was about to crash into Psyduck until [[Team Rocket]] appeared and nabbed Marina's Pokémon. It was used with Marina's {{p|Starmie}} to get them back and Golduck throws [[Team Rocket's mechas|Team Rocket's sub]] onto the beach. It hits the sub with a {{m|Water Gun}}, and stops [[Jessie's Arbok|Arbok]]'s attack with {{m|Disable}} then slams Arbok to the floor with a {{m|Psychic}}, and eventually send Team Rocket blasting off with a {{m|Hyper Beam}} and saves Marina's Pokémon.

It was later used in the last part of the battle between Marina and her Starmie, it gets battered with Starmie's {{m|Tackle}} and {{m|Bubble}} but shatters Starmie's {{m|Light Screen}} with another Hyper Beam fainting it. Misty tries to recall Golduck but her Psyduck pops out. Golduck then runs off and shows off its skills to a bunch of girls.

==Future appearances==
{{Bulbanews|Kasumi to make appearance in anime}}
Former director and storyboard artist of the [[Pokémon anime]], [[Masamitsu Hidaka]], stated in [http://www.pokebeach.com/news/0708/interview-with-masamitsu-hidaka-at-anime-expo an interview] that Misty will not return as a main character in future seasons, but she will continue to make cameo appearances from time to time like she has in the past. He also mentioned {{pkmn|Contests}} in connection with Misty, although the translator neglected to mention what was meant by this.

Misty's seiyū, [[Mayumi Iizuka]], hinted in her blog that Misty would make an appearance in the {{series|Diamond & Pearl}}<ref>[http://blogs.yahoo.co.jp/mayumi_blog/45719533.html Mayumi Iizuka's blog]</ref>. However, she did not appear at all.

==In the manga==
[[File:Misty Dengeki.png|thumb|right|Misty in The Electric Tale of Pikachu]]
===In The Electric Tale of Pikachu manga===
Misty is a recurring character in [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]], a {{pkmn|manga}} series based on the Pokémon anime.

She first appears in the chapter ''[[ET01|Pikachu, I See You]]''. She takes a liking to [[Ash's Pikachu]] and tells {{Ash}} about what it takes to be a professional Pokémon Trainer. Ash steals her [[bicycle]] later to rush Pikachu to a [[Pokémon Center]] after being injured by a flock of {{p|Spearow}}.

She travels with Ash for the following chapter, ''[[ET02|Play Misty For Me]]'', expecting Ash to repay her for her bike. Later in the same chapter, when Ash arrives in [[Cerulean City]], he battles her instead of the [[Sensational Sisters]]. Misty awards Ash the {{badge|Cascade}} when his {{AP|Fearow}} takes back his {{AP|hat}} from Misty's head.

Misty disappears from the manga until Ash and {{an|Brock}} bump into her at the [[Nomads Independence Day]] festival in ''[[ET05|The Human Race and the Pokémon Race]]''. After this, she is a common traveling companion to Ash and Brock, though they still part ways at times, such as when Misty and [[Duplica]] search for wild {{p|Ditto}} in ''[[ET07|Pikachu's Excellent Adventure]]''.

===In the Magical Pokémon Journey manga===
[[File:Misty MPJ.jpg|thumb|right|Misty in Magical Pokémon Journey]]
Misty, along with {{Ash}} and {{an|Brock}}, make cameo appearances in bonus chapters of the [[Magical Pokémon Journey]] manga. In the bonus chapters, Misty and co. have mistakenly wandered into the world Magical Pokémon Journey is set in. The bonus chapters chronicle their attempts to return to their own world (of the {{pkmn|anime}}) and their encounters with various aspects of the Magical Pokémon Journey canon which differ from the anime's canon (such as the use of [[Poké Ball]]s).

==Trivia==
* Even though Misty is said to be 10 in the anime, she is said to be 12 in the first manga issue where she is introduced.
* Misty is the only one of the main characters to have [[Misty's Staryu|a Pokémon]] along with its [[Misty's Starmie|evolved form]] on her team at the same time.
* Misty is the only one of Ash's friends to have a {{type2|Psychic}} Pokémon, {{TP|Misty|Starmie}}.
* Only two of Misty's Pokémon are not {{type2|Water}}: {{TP|Misty|Togetic}} and {{TP|Misty|Azurill}}, though Azurill can {{p|Marill|evolve into one}} later.
** Also both of these Pokémon are {{type2|Normal}} and both were hatched from eggs she got from other main characters and debuted in a different generation from their fully evolved forms.
* Misty is the first of [[Ash's friends]] to challenge a gym (albeit an unofficial gym), since she challenged and won against [[Dorian|the unofficial Johto Water Gym Leader]] in ''[[EP256|Just Add Water]]''.
* She is the only main character to have genderless Pokémon in her [[party|team]]. In fact, she has two, {{TP|Misty|Staryu}} and {{TP|Misty|Starmie}}.
* She and {{an|Iris}} are the only female companions of Ash who did not start off as a rookie. She is also considered as a rival by Ash and acts as his coach during Pokémon battles. Unlike Dawn and May, who are Pokémon Coordinators, Misty focuses on being a Water Pokémon Master.
* She is the first main character to be seen owning a [[Generation II]] Pokémon, that Pokémon being Togepi.
* Misty is the only one of her sisters not named after a flower, the names of her sisters being Daisy, Violet, and Lily. However, she does have the name for {{wp|baby's breath}} in Japanese.

'''Misty's Gyarados''' (Japanese: '''カスミのギャラドス''' ''Kasumi's Gyarados'') was {{an|Misty}}'s tenth {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}; she adopted it in the [[Kanto]] [[region]] after she returned home in ''[[SS002|Cerulean Blues]]''.

==In the anime==
Taking over the [[Cerulean Gym]] wasn't easy for Misty. Not only were there rumors of [[Pokémon Inspection Agency|PIA]] inspectors arriving, an angry {{p|Gyarados}} that recently evolved from one of the [[Cerulean Gym]]'s {{p|Magikarp}} was causing chaos. Misty tried many attempts to stop it but had to resort to locking it in a cage for a while. However, when the [[Invincible Pokémon Brothers]] got their {{p|Tentacruel}} to attack it with {{m|Poison Sting}}, Misty took the attack for Gyarados and earned its trust. Calmed, it finally allowed her to return it to its [[Poké Ball]].

The capture of Gyarados is significant as Misty had been afraid of the species up until this point. This came from a traumatic event in her childhood when she had crawled into the mouth of a sleeping Gyarados. Getting it to earn her trust also led to her passing the inspection and truly earning [[Gym Leader]] status.

Gyarados is officially a Gym Pokémon. However, in [[AG045|''A Togepi Mirage!'']], when Misty visited {{Ash}} in [[Hoenn]], she used Gyarados to defeat [[Colonel Hansen]]'s {{p|Shedinja}} with a {{m|Flamethrower}} attack. It also appeared in ''[[The Mastermind of Mirage Pokémon]]''.

Gyarados appeared before its capture as a {{p|Magikarp}} in ''[[EP061|The Misty Mermaid]]''.

==In the manga==
===In the Electric Tale of Pikachu manga===
[[File:Misty Gyarados EToP.png|thumb|Misty's Gyarados scaring Ash]]
Misty also has a Gyarados in [[Electric Tale of Pikachu|the manga counterpart to the anime]], but, unlike in the anime, it was the first Pokémon she ever caught. She trained it carefully until it evolved, due to this, it's extremely loyal to its trainer.

===In the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga===
{{main|Gyara}}
[[File:VS Gyarados.png|thumb|left|Gyara attacking Misty]]
Misty's Gyarados, who was nicknamed '''[[Gyara]]''', first appeared in [[PS006|''Gyarados Splashes In!'']]. It was stolen and used for experiments by [[Team Rocket]], causing it to go berserk and attack Misty. Then {{adv|Red}} appeared, recaptured Gyarados and returned it to her. After that, in [[PS025|''You know... Articuno!'']], Red tried to get the [[HM]] {{m|Surf}} but he couldn't, so, Misty offered to trade Gyara with Red's {{p|Krabby}}, because Gyrara already knew that move. With Gyara he could reach [[Cinnabar Island]].

Gyara seems to have a cheerful personality, as after it was caught by Red, it was constantly singing and moving. The other Pokémon seem to be afraid of it after it does this.

'''A Real Rival Rouser!''' (Japanese: '''激闘フルバトル！サトシ対シンジ！！''' ''Intense Fighting Full Battle! {{tt|Satoshi|Ash}} vs {{tt|Shinji|Paul}}!!'') is the 187th episode of the {{series|Diamond & Pearl}}, and the 653rd episode of the [[Pokémon anime]]. It first aired in Japan on August 12, 2010 and in the United States on January 8, 2011.
{{spoilers}}

==Synopsis==
The intense battle between {{Ash}} and [[Paul]] continues! The battle continues from where it left off, {{AP|Buizel}} locked in {{DL|Paul|Drapion}}'s tail. Buizel tries to use {{m|SonicBoom}} with his free tail, but Drapion just grabs it with a free arm, rendering it useless. Ash instructs Buizel to puff up the life preserver object on his neck and then let the air out in an instant. After freeing himself, Buizel uses {{m|Water Gun}} to lift himself into the air, away from Drapion. With Buizel still in the air, Drapion uses {{m|Toxic Spikes}}, littering the field with them and {{status|Poison|poisoning}} Buizel. Then, Drapion uses {{m|Pin Missile}} to finish off Buizel, thus leaving Ash with five Pokémon.

Ash then sends out {{AP|Staraptor}} to battle Drapion next. Drapion uses Pin Missile, which Staraptor effectively dodges with its high speed. It then comes down with an {{m|Aerial Ace}}, which Drapion dodges at the last second, and captures Staraptor like it did with Buizel. Drapion uses {{m|Cross Poison}}, on the trapped Staraptor, and then Drapion throws Staraptor onto the ground, poisoning it with the remnants of Toxic Spikes, thus knocking out Staraptor.

Ash then sends out {{AP|Torterra}} next, and Torterra feels the effect of the Toxic Spikes instantaneously. Drapion uses Cross Poison on Torterra, and Torterra sends Drapion away with {{m|Energy Ball}}. Ash quickly attacks again with {{m|Leaf Storm}}, hitting Drapion again. Paul instructs Drapion to use Pin Missile to counter the Leaf Storm, which end up neutralizing each other. Torterra comes out of the smoke with a {{m|Rock Climb}}, but is grabbed by Drapion when he is just about to attack and uses {{m|Poison Fang}} on Torterra. Torterra uses {{m|Synthesis}} to gain back some energy and Drapion comes to attack with Pin Missile, again, hitting Torterra and knocking it out, leaving Ash with three Pokémon. Paul asks Ash if he's planning to send out {{AP|Gliscor}} next, to which Ash responds that Paul is correct. Paul recalls Drapion as he tells Ash that he already knows all the Pokémon that Ash will be using because he had used his [[Paul#Aggron|Aggron]], and [[Paul#Gastrodon|Gastrodon]] as guinea pigs. Paul then proclaims that he still has some unrevealed and this gives him a huge advantage.

Ash sends out Gliscor and Paul sends out his fourth Pokémon, {{DL|Paul|Ninjask}}, which uses {{m|Agility}} right from the start. Ash tells Gliscor to use its newest attack, {{m|Stone Edge}}. However it is easily dodged by Ninjask, still using Agility. Ninjask comes in with a quick {{m|Fury Cutter}}, hitting Gliscor countless times. While falling, Gliscor regains lift and tries to use {{m|Fire Fang}} on Ninjask, but is unsuccessful and Gliscor falls into the field and gains the effect from the Toxic Spikes Drapion had left. Ash recalls Gliscor and sends out {{AP|Infernape}}, who also gets poisoned from the Toxic Spikes. Ash realises that he's at a major disadvantage while Toxic Spikes are active and tells Infernape to use {{m|Dig}} and leave Paul and Ninjask wondering where it is. Infernape uses {{m|Flare Blitz}} underground, illuminating the entire field in a bright red and alleviating the Toxic Spikes. Paul tells Ninjask to use {{m|Giga Drain}} and begins to sap energy from Infernape. Infernape scrutinizes Ninjask's movements carefully and lands a successful {{m|Mach Punch}}, knocking out Ninjask. Ash and Paul are now tied with three Pokémon each that are able to battle.

Ash knows Infernape is starting to get tired and recalls it for some rest. Paul sends out his next Pokémon, {{DL|Paul|Froslass}}. Ash decides to send in {{AP|Pikachu}}, and Paul starts things off by having Froslass use {{m|Hail}}. A thick cold mist surrounds the entire battlefield which causes Froslass's ability, {{a|Snow Cloak}} to come into effect. Soon, Froslass is fading in and out of view, and Pikachu tries to get an idea on where Froslass is but to no avail, and things become more urgent when Pikachu starts to take damage from the Hail. Ash commands a {{m|Thunderbolt}} and Pikachu tries to hit Froslass, however, the Hail severely rescricts the attack and it doesn't even get close to its target. Froslass is then told to use {{m|Ice Shard}}, which scores a direct hit against Pikachu. As Thunderbolt isn't working, Ash tells Pikachu to use {{m|Volt Tackle}}, however he passes right through Froslass without even hitting her. Froslass uses Ice Shard and Ash tells Pikachu to watch out and to use {{m|Iron Tail}}, destroying the Ice Shard and elevating Pikachu into the air. He uses Iron Tail again and finally lands an attack on Froslass, sending her flying into the ground suffering major damage from the super-effective hit. Hail finally subsides, leaving Froslass with nowhere to hide. Paul orders an {{m|Ice Beam}} which hits Pikachu encasing him in ice. Paul tells Froslass to use Ice Shard again, but Pikachu is one step ahead and uses Volt Tackle to escape the ice and hit Froslass before she can even release the Ice Shard. Pikachu suffers [[recoil]] from the attack, but it turns out to be worth it as Froslass is left unable to battle. Ash knows this battle took a lot out of Pikachu and recalls him back to the sidelines.

Paul sends Drapion back out and Ash sends Gliscor back out and encourages it, telling it to show Paul what it learned from [[McCann]]. Drapion uses Pin Missile to start things off and Gliscor quickly dodges the attack. Gliscor uses Stone Edge and Drapion uses Cross Poison to neutralize the Stone Edge. Gliscor is shielded by the remnants of the neutralization of Stone Edge, he then uses {{m|Giga Impact}} in the clouds and comes down to hit Drapion before he could use Poison Fang. Gliscor is found rolling around in the sky, safe from Drapion while he recharges from the Giga Impact. Drapion uses Pin Missile and Gliscor quickly dodges the attack like how Staraptor did earlier, and uses {{m|X-Scissor}} while falling towards Drapion. With the battle entering its final stages, both Ash and Paul are ready to battle to their fullest... however it remains to be seen who will emerge the winner.

==Major events==
* {{Ash}} and [[Paul]] continue their [[full battle]].
* [[Ash's Gliscor]] is revealed to have learned {{m|Stone Edge}}.
* Paul is revealed to have obtained a {{p|Froslass}}.
* Paul is revealed to still own the {{p|Ninjask}} he had caught shortly before capturing {{AP|Chimchar|Infernape}}.

* This episode marks the first time {{AP|Pikachu}} manages to defeat one of [[Paul]]'s Pokémon.
* Although it has been mentioned in the past, this episode marks the first time Pikachu is explicitly shown to suffer [[recoil]] from using {{m|Volt Tackle}}.
* The effect of {{m|Toxic Spikes}} is shown differently in this episode to how it works in the games. While in the games Toxic Spikes will {{status|poison}} any Pokémon sent into battle (with the exception of {{t|Flying}}, {{t|Steel}}, {{type2|Poison}}, and {{a|Levitate|Levitating}} Pokémon), in this episode it is shown to poison any Pokémon that touches the ground affected by Toxic Spikes regardless of type.
* This episode shows that Toxic Spikes could be removed without the aid of {{m|Rapid Spin}}. With some improvisation, {{AP|Infernape}} incinerated the field with {{m|Flare Blitz}} while {{m|Dig|underground}}, once again ignoring game mechanics and effectively removing its effect.

===Errors===
*When Ash sends out Infernape to battle Ninjask, it took damage from the Toxic Spikes and in the next scene, Infernape's tail was missing. However, it could be due to the camera's angle.

Pokémon controversies

2011-01-07T05:09:31Z

Dragonick: /* Satanism */

<div class="usermessage" width="100%">'''This article is, like all other Bulbapedia articles, fact-based. No images on this page are intended to be offensive; they are here for informative purposes only. Understanding of this by the reader is greatly appreciated.''' </div>

There have been numerous '''controversies''' over events, images, names, and other themes stemming from [[Pokémon]]. This is likely due to the game's extreme popularity eliciting a backlash from some members of society.

==Imagery, religion, etc.==
===Perceived Nazi imagery===
[[File:106 T KOGASNINJATRICK.jpg|200px|right|thumb|Koga's Ninja Trick, Japanese version]]
====In the TCG====
Members of the Jewish community accused [[Nintendo]] of using an offensive image in the Japanese version of {{TCG ID|Gym Challenge|Koga's Ninja Trick|115}}. The image in question, pictured at right, features an omote manji, a left-facing version of the {{wp|swastika}}.

While in the Western world, the image of the swastika in any form brings to mind the {{wp|fascist}} and {{wp|racist}} policies carried out by {{wp|Nazi Germany}} during the course of {{wp|World War II}}, the swastika's origin was in ancient times. It is used as a symbol of peace and good luck by many cultures, including that of {{wp|Hinduism}}, where the left-facing swastika represents, perhaps a bit ironically, love and mercy.

====In the anime====
In ''[[AG013|All Things Bright and Beautifly!]]'', A Team Rocket fantasy involves [[Jessie]], [[James]] and {{MTR}}, as well as many {{tc|Team Rocket Grunt}}s, raising their hands in a manner somewhat similar to the {{wp|Hitler salute}}. This was edited out in the English dub of the anime, with the grunts no longer raising their hands. More, presumably female, grunts were also added, replacing some of the generic male ones.

</gallery>

====In the games====
In European releases of {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}, the sprite art for {{p|Registeel}} is altered slightly. While in Japanese and English releases Registeel's arm is extended, the European version uses an altered sprite presumably due to the original pose's resemblance to the {{wp|Hitler salute}}. In all versions of {{game2|HeartGold|SoulSilver|Platinum}}, the sprite takes on its European form.

{{-}}

===Satanism===
Some {{wp|Fundamentalist Christianity|fundamentalist Christian}} groups have accused Pokémon as being linked to Satanism. The following is a summarized and possibly incomplete list of their reasons for this accusation:
*Pokémon are like demons. They are captured and must be called upon to perform tasks.
*Magical talismans (supposedly a reference to [[Gym Badge]]s) are needed to control them.
*Pokémon [[evolution|evolve]]. Though this transformation is more akin to metamorphosis in most Pokémon, the theory of evolution is denied entirely by the most fundamentalist creationists, who believe that all things as they are presently were divinely inspired.
**Some Pokémon evolution even requires the use of certain magical [[evolutionary stones|stones]].
*Many Pokémon have extraordinary paranormal powers, notably {{type2|Psychic}}s. Those with Psychic powers are labeled as having been given these powers by Satan in the Bible itself.
*Many Pokémon embody or practice East Asian spiritual or mystical concepts, being that the franchise originated in Japan. Many christian groups denounce these as pagan rituals.
*Some claim that if one were to {{wp|backmasking|play backwards}} the [[Pokérap]], "[[Gotta Catch 'em All!]]" can be heard as "I love Satan".
*Some Pagan religions claim many Pokémon have similarities to many pagan spirits.{{fact}}

===Claims of Zionist Jewish plot in the Arab and Islamic world===
Some outspoken, fundamentalist Muslims claimed that Pokémon is a Jewish conspiracy that is intended to brainwash Muslim children to make them renounce their faith. These same groups claimed that the word "Pokémon" is a phrase that means "I am Jewish", with the claimers and their followers generally unaware of the franchise's Japanese origin. The "Evolution vs. Creationism" conflict was also commonly brought up.

In 2001, the {{wp|Grand Mufti}} of {{wp|Saudi Arabia}}, who is the highest religious authority in the kingdom, issued a {{wp|fatwā}} banning the Pokémon franchise, claiming it encourages gambling and promotes {{wp|Zionism}}. High Muslim authorities in {{wp|Qatar}} and {{wp|Egypt}} then joined the ban. As this happened during the {{wp|second Intifada}}, a {{wp|Jordan}}ian newspaper printed a caricature of Israeli Prime Minister {{wp|Ariel Sharon}} sitting in a tank and laughing at an Arab man chasing a Pokémon. This is meant to convey that Arabs are distracted from their conflict with the Israelis by popular franchises, with Pokémon as an example of such "distractions."

Despite the initial banning, which quickly wiped away [[Pokémon merchandise]], especially the card game, from markets in Saudi Arabia, Pokémon video games quickly returned to be sold normally, but under much less demand from local consumers. Some Pokémon merchandise, such as the [[Expedition Base Set (TCG)|Expedition Base Set]] reappeared in certain stores a few years later, but newer sets were never brought. [[Generation III]] and [[Generation IV]] games seem completely unaffected by the ban.

===Racism===
[[File:Jynx AG013.png|thumb|220px|Jynx in ''[[AG013|All Things Bright and Beautifly!]]'']]
{{wp|Carole Boston Weatherford}}, a cultural critic, claimed that {{p|Jynx}}, which had recently appeared in ''[[Holiday Hi-Jynx]]'', was a negative racial stereotype of African-Americans. She chiefly compared Jynx to the racist characters in ''{{wp|Little Black Sambo}}'', and further compared Jynx to {{wp|Mr. Popo}} of the {{wp|Dragon Ball}} franchise, a character who is also potentially offensive in his design.

Weatherford's complaint caused many repercussions in Pokémon. The sprites of Jynx in the international release of {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}} were changed, and [[EP250]] was cut from international airings of the anime. A Jynx that appeared in ''[[AG013|All Things Bright and Beautifly!]]'' was also cut from the dub.

Jynx's design was officially changed by Nintendo to being purple, rather than black, and this change was reflected in later games (beginning with {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}) and the anime (starting in ''[[AG115|Mean With Envy]]''). Jynx has also been recolored in [[VIZ Media]]'s reissues of [[Pokémon Adventures]]. Although the manga appears in black-and-white, Jynx appearing in the manga are recolored as a dark gray rather than straight black, implying that they are purple and not black. It is also recolored to purple on the back cover of the reissue of {{PAV|4}}.

In recent years, some fans of Pokémon have noted that Jynx may be inspired by {{wp|ganguro}}, a Japanese fashion where women tan heavily, bleach their hair, and apply large amounts of makeup, instead of a black stereotype. This theory is mainly based on Jynx's long, straight, blonde hair, a common attribute of ganguro fashion.

File:Spr 2c 124 jp.gif|Japanese Crystal Jynx
</gallery>

===Animal cruelty===
In the past, several animal rights groups have tried to ban Pokémon, claiming that Pokémon battles closely resemble {{wp|cockfights}}. This aspect of the controversy was actually touched upon in {{game|Black and White|s}}.

==Lawsuits==
Various lawsuits have been filed against Nintendo and Game Freak regarding Pokémon or Pokémon characters.

===Uri Geller===
In November 2000, {{wp|Uri Geller}}, a psychic who claims to be able to bend spoons, tried to sue Nintendo for £60 million (the equivalent of US $100 million), claiming that {{p|Kadabra}}, known as ''Yungerer'' in Japan, was an unauthorized parody of himself. Besides Kadabra's use of [[Type-enhancing item#TwistedSpoon|bent spoons]] to enhance its {{t|Psychic}} powers, the {{wp|katakana}} for its name, ユンゲラー, is visually similar to the transliteration of his own name into Japanese (ユリゲラー).

He also claimed that Kadabra was {{wp|Antisemitism|anti-Semitic}} in nature, with the star on its forehead and lightning bolts resembling the logo of the Nazi {{wp|Schutzstaffel|SS}}. He is quoted as saying: "''Nintendo turned me into an evil, occult Pokémon character. Nintendo stole my identity by using my name and my signature image.''"

The lawsuit was thrown out of court. Despite this, there has not been a Kadabra card in the {{pkmn|Trading Card Game}} since {{TCG|Skyridge}} in 2003, perhaps as a precaution against Geller's history of lawsuits. {{p|Abra}} and {{p|Alakazam}} cards, have continued to be printed, despite the fact that this makes it impossible to play an Alakazam card in matches that prevent the use of old cards without a card that specifically allows the play of evolved Pokémon.

===Gambling===
A parents' group attempted to sue manufacturers of collectible cards, including Nintendo and Wizards of the Coast, claiming that the cards' collectible nature and the random distribution of the cards in packs constitutes illegal gambling.

European releases of {{game|Platinum}} replace the [[slot machine]]s in [[Veilstone City]]'s [[Game Corner]] from {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}} with non-playable [[game machine]]s in fear that they would encourage younger players to gamble. This change has been greatly criticized by European players, who felt that it virtually destroyed the concept and point of the Game Corner.

All non-Japanese releases of {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} replace the interior of the two Game Corners in [[Goldenrod City]] and [[Celadon City]] with a new game called [[Voltorb Flip]]. In this game, similar to {{wp|Minesweeper}}, coins are not wagered against a win or a loss, but instead given out for completing a level. While many find the game to be entertaining, unlike the case with the European release of Pokémon Platinum, the change in the Game Corners' interior design removed the ability of coins to be purchased in bulk, making playing Voltorb Flip the only possible way to get coins. Additionally, due to the change, the location of the [[Coin Case]] was changed in the international versions, and is now given directly by the man in charge of the Game Corner.

{{game|Black and White|s}} feature no Game Corner at all.

==="Pokémon Kills"===
In 1999, as a promotion for ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'', {{wp|Burger King}} released a [[1999 Burger King Promotional toys|series of promotional toys]] in handheld [[Poké Ball]]s with their Kids' Meals. After their son suffocated because he had covered his mouth and nose with half of the Poké Ball, two parents set up a website named "Pokémon Kills".

In response to this, Burger King recalled the Poké Balls and exchanged them for food for a limited amount of time.

==Violence==
Although [[4Kids Entertainment|4Kids]] and [[TAJ Productions|TAJ]] allow for some cartoon violence in the anime, some episodes contain scenes that were dubbed as "too violent" and cut from the English broadcast.
*''[[EP001|Pokémon - I Choose You!]]'': {{an|Misty}} slaps {{Ash}} after he tells her that he's okay, presumably because of his apparent lack of care for {{AP|Pikachu}}.
*''[[EP009|The School of Hard Knocks]]'': Misty hits {{an|Brock}} with a log because he says "to be continued..." rather than beginning the episode.
*[[EP035]]: Safari Zone Warden, Kaiser, repeatedly threatens Ash and the group with a revolver, leading to the episode being banned.
*''[[AG024|A Corphish Out of Water]]'': A {{p|Carvanha}} hits Ash in the back of the head.
Scenes like these are common in Japanese animation, and are a source of comic relief, much like how characters in ''{{wp|Looney Tunes}}'' who are hit by heavy objects are completely fine afterward.

'''Huge Power''' (Japanese: '''ちからもち''' ''Muscleman'') is an [[ability]] introduced in [[Generation III]]. Only three {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} have this ability, all in the same [[evolution]]ary line. See also {{a|Pure Power}}.

==Effect==
===In battle===
Huge Power doubles the user's {{stat|Attack}} stat.

If this ability is {{m|Skill Swap}}ped, copied with {{m|Role Play}} or {{a|Trace}}d, the effect is halved, boosting the Attack stat only by a 1.5x multiplier and not doubling. This is the only difference from the similar ability, [[Pure Power]].

In [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team]] and [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness|its sequel]], Huge Power has a one-in-three chance of boosting a [[physical move|physical attack]] by 50% when such an attack is used.

===Outside of battle===
Huge Power has no effect outside of battle.

'''Grudge''' (Japanese: '''おんねん''' ''Grudge'') is a non-damaging {{type2|Ghost}} [[move]] introduced in [[Generation III]].

==Effect==
When Grudge is used, if the user faints as the direct result of an attack, the move which causes the user to [[Fainting|faint]] will lose all of its PP. This move's effect only works if the user faints before making another move. If it faints later than that (unless it used this move again), this move's effect will not happen. Grudge does not activate for damage that occurs at the end of the turn, including damage from {{m|Leech Seed}}, {{m|Sandstorm}}, [[Hail]], and {{m|Future Sight}}.

'''Dent's Yanappu''' (Japanese: '''デントのヤナップ''' ''Dent's Yanappu'') is the first Pokémon {{an|Dent}} was known to have. It first appeared in [[BW005]].

==History==
[[File:Dent and Yanappu.png|240px|thumb|left|Dent and Yanappu]]
Yanappu is Dent's first Pokémon; it made its first appearance in [[BW005]] where he showed it to {{Ash}} who scanned it on his [[Pokédex]] before battling.

Yanappu was the third and final Pokémon Ash faced in his Gym battle, where it went up against Ash's {{AP|Oshawott}}. However, Yanappu dodged all of its attacks with ease and hit Oshawott quite hard with {{m|Bullet Seed}} and {{m|Bite}}. After Oshawott finally hit a midair Yanappu with Water Gun, Yanappu started charging {{m|SolarBeam}}, which petrified Oshawott with fear. It appeared again in the [[BW006|very next episode]] where it was defeated by Oshawott, earning Ash his [[Gym Badge#Tri Badge|first badge]] in the [[Unova]] region. At the end of the episode, Dent takes Yanappu with him while he travels with Ash and {{an|Iris}}.

In [[BW009]], Dent used Yanappu in a battle against [[Iris's Kibago]] to help Kibago gain some battle experience. Even though Yanappu significantly lowered its own attack power, Kibago was thrown off by its attacks. The battle ended when Kibago used {{m|Dragon Rage}} which caused an explosion that took Yanappu, as well as everyone else, by surprise.

In [[BW011]], Yanappu was used to help track down a group of {{p|Ishizumai}} by using {{m|Dig}}. It was injured by the {{TP|Dent|one Ishizumai|Ishizumai}} that it was trying to help. The Ishizumai apologized and a friendship was formed. It later fell ill because of the injury and was given a herbal remedy made by Iris. In the morning, after Yanappu recovered, it assisted Ishizumai in getting its rock back. Yanappu was very happy when Ishizumai decided to travel with Dent and itself, so that their friendship can continue.

'''Tobias''' (Japanese: '''タクト''' ''Takuto'') is a [[Pokémon Trainer]] who competed in the [[Lily of the Valley Conference]].

==History==
Tobias first appeared in ''[[DP183|League Unleashed!]]'', where he was shadowed. Barry passed him in a hallway and was scared by the way he came off. In ''[[DP184|Casting a Paul on Barry!]]'', while Ash and Barry were looking up information about their next league opponents, [[Conway]] told them that Tobias managed to easily obtain his eight gym badges and advance through the first two rounds of the Lily of the Valley Conference using just his {{p|Darkrai}}.

In ''[[DP185|Working on a Right Move!]]'', Tobias appeared unshadowed for the first time, and he was shown to have advanced into the Top 8. In [[DP188]], it was shown that he had advanced yet again, now placing in the Top 4 of the Lily of the Valley Conference.

In [[DP189]], he battled against Ash in the semi-finals of the Lily of the Valley Conference. Although he was able to gain an early lead with his Darkrai, [[Ash's Sceptile]] managed to overcome Darkrai's attacks and defeat it. Tobias then called out his Latios, who managed to defeat the remainder of Ash's team (while fainting itself), winning the match for Tobias.

Later, Tobias defeated his final round opponent, who owned a {{p|Magmortar}}, winning the Lily of the Valley Conference and giving him the chance to battle the {{DL|Elite Four (Trainer class)|Sinnoh Elite Four}}.

In [[DP189]], it faced {{Ash}} and his Pokémon in the semifinals of the tournament. At the beginning of the battle, Darkrai faced [[Ash's Heracross]], but withstood its {{m|Megahorn}} attack and incapacitated it with a combination of {{m|Dark Void}} and {{m|Dream Eater}}. After this, Darkrai subdued [[Ash's Torkoal]] with only a {{m|Dark Pulse}}, and defeated his {{AP|Gible}} with the same move after resisting a {{m|Rock Smash}} and dodging a {{m|Draco Meteor}}. Though it was able to put [[Ash's Sceptile]] to sleep with another Dark Void, the latter awakened almost immediately and defeated Darkrai with {{m|Leaf Blade}}.

Darkrai was later seen defeating a {{p|Magmortar}} in the finals, earning Tobias the victory and making him the winner of the Lily of the Valley Conference.

[[Ash's Pikachu]], however, was able to either endure or evade some attacks from Latios, and ended up on Latios's back where he could use his {{t|Electric}} attacks. Despite this, Latios used {{m|Light Screen}} to reduce the power of the attacks, and managed to shake Pikachu off afterwards. At the end of the battle, Latios launched another Luster Purge while Pikachu countered with a combination of {{m|Volt Tackle}} and {{m|Iron Tail}}, culminating in a huge explosion, knocking out both Pokémon and ending in a draw. However, as this left Ash with no Pokémon remaining, Tobias was declared the victor and continued to the final round.

Latios's known moves are {{m|Giga Impact}}, {{m|Luster Purge}} and {{m|Light Screen}}, and its ability is [[Levitate]].}}

'''Dark Void''' (Japanese: '''ダークホール''' ''Dark Hole'') is a non-damaging {{type2|Dark}} move introduced in [[Generation IV]]. It is {{p|Darkrai}}'s [[signature move]].

==Effect==
The foe is put to {{status|Sleep|sleep}}. In a [[double battle]], Dark Void will hit both foes, and the accuracy of said move is dependent upon the [[Pokémon]] that is targeted.

In [[Pokémon Battle Revolution]], if the {{DL|Appendix:Metagame terminology|Sleep clause}} is active in a double battle, if Dark Void hits one foe, it will be forced to miss the other.

'''Nurse Joy''' (Japanese: '''ジョーイ''' ''Joy'', referred to as '''ジョーイさん''' ''Joy-{{wp|Japanese honorifics#San|san}}'' by most characters) are kind nurses who take care of {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. As revealed in ''[[DP028|Drifloon in the Wind!]]'', Joy is not the first name of these women, but actually the family name. Her Japanese name is a play on 女医 ''joi'', ''woman doctor''. They are based on the in-game [[Pokémon Center Nurse]]s.

==In the anime==
[[File:Three Nurse Joy.png|thumb|left|250px|Three Nurse Joys as they appear in Kanto, Johto, Hoenn, and Sinnoh.]]
There is not one Nurse Joy. Rather, there are countless Joys working at [[Pokémon Center]]s across the [[Pokémon world|world]].

As a rule, Nurse Joys are kind, earnest, honest Pokémon nurses who take care of sick and injured Pokémon, but will confront a [[Pokémon Trainer]] if they are not properly caring for their Pokémon.

They are not entirely identical, though aside from themselves, it seems that {{an|Brock}} is the only one who can tell them apart. However, each Nurse Joy will have a different color cross on her hat that indicates which location she works at.

Supposedly, they are all extremely similar-looking relatives— cousins, sisters, etc. However, fans have proposed various other theories has been suggested for the strange phenomenon— everything from time travel, to cloning, to the Nurse Joys being Pokémon themselves.

There are several notable Nurse Joys who appear vastly different from the others. A Nurse Joy acts as the [[Pokémon Inspection Agency|Pokémon League inspector]] in ''[[EP042|Showdown at Dark City]]'', her first appearance as anything but an ordinary Nurse Joy. Another Nurse Joy living in the [[Orange Archipelago]] has made her career instead be as an archaeologist, leading an expedition to [[Fairchild Island]] in ''[[EP089|Shell Shock]]''. A muscle-bound, kayak-riding Nurse Joy who also lives in the archipelago was featured, along with her befriended [[giant Pokémon|giant]] {{p|Magikarp}}, in ''[[EP092|The Joy of Pokémon]]''. Other Nurse Joys living on the islands have a noticeably darker skin tone than their mainland counterparts, likely due to living in a more tropical region.

A Nurse Joy who appeared in ''[[EP206|The Joy of Water Pokémon]]'' was in charge of a Pokémon Center which specialized in {{type2|Water}} Pokémon, despite being afraid of them herself. Two young Joys, named [[Marnie and Paige]], appeared in ''[[DP028|Drifloon on the Wind]]'', where it was revealed that Joy is the ''surname'' of the family, rather than the given name of each individual woman. Their mother, of course, was an ordinary Nurse Joy.

[[Image:Nurse Joy anime BW.png|right|thumb|250px|Nurse Joy in the {{series|Best Wishes}}]]
Nurse Joy, like {{Ash}}, received a redesign when the {{series|Best Wishes}} began, as well as a change of clothes. All Nurse Joys in Unova have this new design - it is unknown if Nurse Joys from the past four regions, if they reappear, will retain their old design.

Although there are many exceptions, Nurse Joy will generally have {{TP|Nurse Joy|Chansey}} in [[Kanto]], [[Johto]], [[Hoenn]], [[Sinnoh]], and the [[Orange Archipelago]], and {{TP|Nurse Joy|Tabunne}} in [[Unova]], to assist her. Chansey's [[evolution]] introduced in [[Generation II]], {{p|Blissey}}, appears physically similar to Nurse Joy. Further driving home the connection, Blissey's Japanese name can be taken to mean "Happy Nurse". Tabunne is not known to evolve; this may indicate a possible evolved form to be introduced in [[Generation VI]] or beyond.

There is a very distinct parallel between the families of Nurse Joy, [[Officer Jenny]], and [[Don George]]. This may indicate some sort of relation or deeper connection, and fans have sometimes speculated about such. However, the only thing known about the three families is that they are apparently on good terms.

In addition, Nurse Joys give out [[starter Pokémon]] to trainers in towns or cities without [[Pokémon Professor]]s. [[Slateport City]] is one such town. Adhering to their role as government workers, they are also inspectors for the [[Pokémon Inspection Agency]] grading Pokémon gyms.

Nurse Joys also judge [[Pokémon Contests]] and the [[Grand Festival]]s.

'''Brock''' (Japanese: '''タケシ''' ''Takeshi'') is a close {{ashfr|friend}} and former traveling partner of [[Ash Ketchum]].

==About==
[[Image:Brock OS.png|200px|thumb|left|Brock in the original series]]
In the {{pkmn|anime}}, Brock is a [[Pokémon Breeder]] and a former [[Gym Leader]] who is a {{ashfr|close friend}} and traveling companion of {{Ash}}'s. Some notes on official sketches of his character set his age at 15 at the start of the series.

He originally trained {{type2|Rock}} [[Pokémon]], but has, since [[EP006|the second episode he appeared in]], diversified. As he has stated in ''[[DP125|Battling A Cute Drama!]]'', his philosophy is that the important thing about being a Pokémon Trainer is the bond between Trainer and Pokémon. He is an experienced cook and caretaker by nature, so he always makes scrumptious food both [[Pokémon food|for Pokémon]] and for humans.
[[File:Brock and Nurse Joy.png|250px|thumb|right|Brock flirting with Nurse Joy]]
One of his best known character traits is that he falls in love with every pretty woman he meets, particularly [[Officer Jenny]] and [[Nurse Joy]]. He can tell whether they are real (women) or [[Team Rocket|impo]][[Brodie|stors]] as well. This "ability" has been used multiple times in the series. He has always held a supporting role in the series, usually contributing more in terms of wisdom and comedic antics than the action and {{pkmn|battle}}s of the series.

Early on, he showed that he carries around a {{badge|Boulder}} for identification. He also has a [[Contest Pass]] for the [[Kanto]] region, though he only used it once, as well as one for [[Hoenn]] which was required to watch a contest there.

Brock has had two notable musical appearances. One is the Japanese ending theme タケシのパラダイス ''[[Takeshi's Paradise]]'', which is about his love for women and his determination to find love despite often appearing foolish and getting heartbroken. There is a running joke about him singing this song often in the anime, since it's the only song he knows. The other is the [[Pokémon Karaokémon]] song ''[[Two Perfect Girls]]'', which is about his love of both Officer Jenny and Nurse Joy.

==Appearance==
[[Image:TakeshiAG.png|200px|thumb|right|Brock in the ''Advanced Generation'' series]]
Brock's most notable feature about his appearance is that his eyes naturally appear closed. The rare times people see them open are when they are forced open unnaturally: from a hit with {{AP|Charmander's|Charizard}} {{m|Flamethrower}} in ''[[EP032|The Ninja Poké-Showdown]]'', when being hit in the back of the head by {{TP|Jessie|Arbok}}'s tail in ''[[EP050|Who Gets to Keep Togepi?]]'', and when he makes a face for {{AP|Larvitar}} in ''[[EP260|A Crowning Achievement]]''. This has been the center of fan attention for a long time.

He also has tan skin, notably darker than the skin of any other major character in the anime until the {{series|Best Wishes}}.

Brock is the tallest of {{ashfr|main characters}}, and the closest to looking like an adult. Next to actual adult characters, however, it is clear that he is still a teenager.

Not counting temporary outfits, he has worn {{DL|List of clothing in the anime|Brock|three different outfits}} over the span of the anime, all of which have had the colors orange, green, and brown, with blue shoes. His outfits in the games are also made up of the colors orange, green, and brown.

==Character==
[[Image:Brock's eyes.png|thumb|left|200px|Brock with his eyes open in ''[[EP260|A Crowning Achievement]]''.]]
Brock is considered the most mature, wise and level-headed of the main characters, and he is arguably the most intelligent character as well. He often acts as an older brother and caretaker to the other characters and a voice of reason in disputes. He will usually place others before him and will help and support his friends even against his better judgment or at his own expense. While he is not shown to battle often, he can understand the situations and strategies in any [[Pokémon battle]], and often explains them to the other characters, probably due to the fact that he was once a [[Gym Leader]]. His wisdom is possibly derived from how observant he is; he can tell just by sight how a Pokémon is feeling and spot the differences between the various [[Officer Jenny]] and [[Nurse Joy]].

Brock always carries books and maps with him, and thus is usually the character who knows where the group is headed and what they can do when they get there, though in [[Advanced Generation series|Advanced Generation]] this role was mostly taken over by the [[PokéNav]]. He also carries a lot of other supplies, such as [[potion]]s, [[Pokémon food]], and a set of cookware, as well as practical tools like a brush and pocket knife; in ''[[EP009|The School of Hard Knocks]]'', the extent of his preparedness and comically large capacity of his [[bag]] was demonstrated, as he pulled out a table and full tea set out of his backpack. He is a domestic, and grooms not only his Pokémon but also those of his friends with whom he travels. He handles all the cooking and cleaning for his friends.

Despite this, all his maturity and rationality leaves him completely at the sight of a beautiful woman, as he falls in love with every pretty girl he meets. Brock has a desperate need for female companionship which grows worse as he fails to gain it. He will do anything and everything he thinks will impress women, which inevitably ends with his heart being broken every time. A few women have shown interest in him as well, such as [[Wilhelmina]], [[Temacu]], {{FB|Pike Queen|Lucy}} and [[Holly]], but most do not notice him or are not interested. No matter how many times he is disappointed, though, Brock remains determined to find a girl to start a relationship with, and has indicated several times he would stop traveling with Ash and stay with the girl if this happened. This behavior tends to wear on the nerves of other characters, and {{an|Misty}} and [[Max]] have both commonly dragged Brock away from women by his ear. Some of Brock's own Pokémon, most notably {{TP|Brock|Croagunk}}, have attacked him for getting too flirtatious with women.

His goals have played a passive role in his character's activity and development. Unlike other characters, who aspire to achieve and excel in competitive fields like [[Pokémon training]] and [[Pokémon Contest]]s, his aim to become a great Pokémon Breeder is a quiet one and thus does not get showcased frequently. His other goal, to find a girlfriend, is similar to [[Team Rocket]]'s quest to capture {{AP|Pikachu}} in that both are for comedy and thus doomed to fail. His role has always been purely one as support for other main characters.

===History===
[[Image:Young Brock.png|thumb|right|A young Brock]]
Not much is known about his early childhood, except that his first Pokémon was his {{TP|Brock|Onix|Steelix}}, which he received as a gift at the age of 10. Sometime after, his father, {{ka|Flint}}, left home to become a great {{pkmn|Trainer}}. When he never returned, his mother, [[Lola]], left them as well, leaving Brock to take care of {{Brocksib|his siblings}}, as well as their house and [[Pewter Gym]], by himself (though the English version of ''[[EP005|Showdown in Pewter City]]'' has Flint claim she died, and some speculate he was lying). However, Flint eventually returned home considering himself a failure, and instead of returning to his family he donned a disguise and sold rocks as souvenirs at the edge of town. After Brock awarded Ash the Boulder Badge, Flint came forward and confessed who he was. Flint took on the responsibilities of the Pewter Gym and his family, leaving Brock free to journey with Ash and {{an|Misty}}.

Brock only became the Gym Leader because he felt it was his responsibility, and he admitted to Ash that he would rather care for Pokémon than battle them. It is his dream to become a great breeder, and when Flint took back control of the Gym, Brock was allowed to start following this dream. Most notably, he took care of a {{TP|Brock|Vulpix}} that belonged to a breeder named [[Suzy]]. Shortly before Vulpix was returned, Brock used it in a [[Pokémon Beauty Contest]].

Brock was also able to meet and make advances towards the many beautiful women he met. At first, he was more casual about approaching women, such as the [[Officer Jenny]] in [[Cerulean City]], and more modest as well, such as when he met [[Melanie]]. However, he became more open and passionate towards almost all single young women as time progressed.

Brock briefly left the show during the [[Pokémon: The Adventures in the Orange Islands|Orange Islands saga]] to work for [[Professor Ivy]] on [[Valencia Island]] and so is only seen in a couple of cameos in the [[M02|second movie]]. While there, something happened that will probably remain secret as Brock will only huddle and say "that name" whenever he is asked about it. (Brock does mention his work for her in ''[[M07|Destiny Deoxys]]'', though this line was added in the dub.) After this incident, Brock returned to Kanto where he was found by [[Delia Ketchum]], who helped him to regain his strength. Brock then became a rival to [[Mimey]] until he rejoined Ash and Misty as the three traveled to [[Johto]]. They stayed together for the entire region, but at the end of this journey, the three went their separate ways, with Brock's help requested at home by his father.

Upon his return home, Brock was dismayed to find that his mother had returned and commandeered the gym, turning the Rock-type haven into a brightly decorated {{type2|Water}} den. Brock battled her for the honor of Rock-types and won, promising his brother [[Forrest]] that he would become Gym Leader someday.

After that, Brock returned to follow Ash through [[Hoenn]], along with their new friends {{an|May}} and [[Max]], and then through Kanto again as Ash took on the Kanto {{Gdis|Battle Frontier|III}}. He left briefly when the Advanced Generation series ended in order to visit his home, but quickly returned to travel with Ash and {{an|Dawn}} in [[Sinnoh]]. Near the end of the Sinnoh saga, Brock began to show interest in becoming a Pokémon doctor, and so, rather than following Ash to [[Unova]] to advise him, decided to remain in Kanto to study.

Brock is among the longest-running main characters in the anime, having been present in nearly every episode between ''[[EP005|Showdown in Pewter City]]'' and [[DP191]], with the notable exception of the [[List of original series episodes#Orange Islands|Orange Islands saga]], the [[EP274|final original series episode]], the first three episodes of the {{series|Advanced Generation}}, and the [[DP001|first episode of the ''Diamond & Pearl'' series]]. His tenure is ranked only under {{Ash}} and {{AP|Pikachu}}, who have appeared in every episode, and [[Jessie]], [[James]], and {{MTR}}, who have appeared in every episode except for the first and [[AG120]].

===Pokémon===
As gym tradition dictated, Brock's first Pokémon were Rock-types. However, once he was able to leave his gym to travel, he has dedicated himself to learn about how to care for a variety of Pokémon. Thus, his Pokémon tend to be an eclectic mix of types and dispositions. However, all of his Pokémon tend to have strong bonds with Brock and are on par with {{Ash}}'s Pokémon in terms of battling strength, despite the fact that Brock does not go out of his way to train his Pokémon.

This is a listing of Brock's Pokémon as of the most recent Japanese episode. As Brock has returned to Pewter City in order to study to becoming a Pokémon Doctor, all of his Pokémon are there and none are listed as "on hand."

==In the manga==
===In The Electric Tale of Pikachu manga===
[[File:Brock EToP.jpg|thumb|right|Brock in The Electric Tale of Pikachu]]
Brock is a frequent recurring character in the {{pkmn|manga}} series [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]]. Like in the anime, he is a traveling companion of {{Ash}} and {{an|Misty}}.

Brock first appears in ''[[ET02|Play Misty For Me]]'', where Ash challenges him for the [[Boulder Badge]]. After defeating Brock and earning the badge, Ash leaves [[Pewter City]] and continues his journey alone.

Brock reappears in ''[[ET04|Haunting My Dreams]]'', meeting Ash by coincidence in [[Saffron City]]. He becomes a steady traveling companion of Ash in ''[[ET05|The Human Race and the Pokémon Race]]'', though he seperates from Ash in ''[[ET11|Days of Gloom and Glory]]'' while he prepares for the [[Indigo Plateau Conference]].

Brock in the manga is much like he is in the Pokémon anime: he is the Leader of the [[Pewter City]] Gym, but he takes a break from his duties as [[Gym Leader]] to travel. Unlike in the anime, he does not hand control of the Gym to his {{ka|Flint|father}} or his {{TP|Brock|siblings}}, instead, he closes the Gym completely while he travels. Brock has a weakness for pretty girls such as [[the Sensational Sisters]], and he is the only character that can tell the many [[Nurse Joy]]s and [[Officer Jenny]]s apart.

[[File:Ash and Brock MPJ.png|thumb|left|Ash and Brock in Magical Pokémon Journey]]

===In the Magical Pokémon Journey manga===
Brock, along with {{Ash}} and {{an|Misty}}, make cameo appearances in bonus chapters of the [[Magical Pokémon Journey]] manga. In those, Brock and co. have mistakenly wandered into the world Magical Pokémon Journey is set in. The bonus chapters chronicle their attempts to return to their own world (of the {{pkmn|anime}}) and their encounters with various aspects of the Magical Pokémon Journey canon which differ from the anime's canon (such as the use of [[Poké Ball]]s).

==Trivia==
* Most official sources do not give Brock a last name. However, several sources suggest that in the anime, his last name is Harrison. In the July 2006 issue of [[K-Zone]] Magazine, [[Eric Stuart]] was interviewed and stated that Brock's last name is '''Harrison'''.
* Brock's house is located directly behind the Pewter Gym. His room is only seen briefly in ''[[AG034|Having a Wailord of a Time]]'', but what is seen of it shows that it is decorated in a traditional Japanese style, including {{wp|fusuma}}, a {{wp|tansu}} chest, and a {{wp|futon}} for a bed.
* Both of Brock's {{type|Poison}} Pokémon, {{TP|Brock|Crobat}} and {{TP|Brock|Croagunk}}, have names that start with ''Cro-''.
* Brock is the fourth main character to own a Pokémon hatched from an egg. The first was {{an|Misty}} with {{TP|Misty|Togepi}} and later {{TP|Misty|Azurill}}, the second was {{Ash}} with {{TP|Ash|Phanpy}}, and the third was {{an|May}} with {{TP|May|Eevee}}.
* Brock is one of three of Ash's friends who has had their father make an appearance in the anime. The others are {{an|May}} and [[Max]], who are brother and sister. Coincidentally, both fathers are Gym Leaders.
* Brock captured a new Pokémon sooner after his debut than any other main character, even Ash, by capturing [[Brock's Crobat|Zubat]] in [[EP006]].
* Brock's ''Advanced Generation'' and first ''Diamond & Pearl'' stock art use the same pose, changing only his outfit. However, a second stock art of ''Diamond & Pearl'' Brock was released in a different pose.
* Brock has been shown to be able to identify when women are really cross dressing men in disguise by having a peculiar lack of attraction to them. He's also able to do the opposite. A significant exception to this is Ash, who in the guise of [[Ashley]] was able to fool Brock.
* Brock has owned four Pokémon [[List of Pokémon with cross-generational evolutions|whose evolutions debuted in a different generation]] than that Pokémon. ({{TP|Brock|Golbat|Crobat}}, {{TP|Brock|Onix|Steelix}}, {{TP|Brock|Bonsly|Sudowoodo}}, and {{TP|Brock|Happiny}}). All of them have since evolved.
* When the {{series|Advanced Generation}} started, Brock brought only his {{TP|Brock|Forretress}} with him. Forretress is not in the [[List of Pokémon by Hoenn Pokédex number|Hoenn Pokédex]].
* Brock is the only one out of all of Ash's friends to have owned at least one Pokémon from each of the first four generations.
* Brock is the only one of [[Ash's friends]] to appear in every movie. However, his appearance in ''[[M02|The Power of One]]'' was merely a cameo.

===Interview with Hidaka about Brock's short absence from the anime===
There had been some debate between members of the fanbase in regards to why Brock was removed from the main cast during the Orange Islands arc, why [[Tracey Sketchit]] was created, and why Brock returned later. In an [http://www.pokebeach.com/news/0708/second-pokemon-interview-with-masamitsu-hidaka-many-interesting-points interview] with former Pokémon anime director and storyboard artist [[Masamitsu Hidaka]], he stated his own reason why Brock was removed from the cast and why he eventually returned. He (or, rather his translator) revealed that the true reason they replaced Brock is because, once they realized Pokémon was going global, there was a chance that Americans, if not anyone else outside of Japan, would view Brock as a racist stereotype because of his eyes (even though there wasn't an actual complaint yet). So they created a "tall, anglo-saxon looking person to be on the safe side". They later replaced Tracey with Brock again once they realized that no one really cared as to what Brock looks like, and actually enjoyed his character.

However, this was only stated by Hidaka and not by any other staff member.

'''Brock''' (Japanese: '''タケシ''' ''Takeshi'') is a close {{ashfr|friend}} and former traveling partner of [[Ash Ketchum]].

==About==
[[Image:Brock OS.png|200px|thumb|left|Brock in the original series]]
In the {{pkmn|anime}}, Brock is a [[Pokémon Breeder]] and a former [[Gym Leader]] who is a {{ashfr|close friend}} and traveling companion of {{Ash}}'s. Some notes on official sketches of his character set his age at 15 at the start of the series.

He originally trained {{type2|Rock}} [[Pokémon]], but has, since [[EP006|the second episode he appeared in]], diversified. As he has stated in ''[[DP125|Battling A Cute Drama!]]'', his philosophy is that the important thing about being a Pokémon Trainer is the bond between Trainer and Pokémon. He is an experienced cook and caretaker by nature, so he always makes scrumptious food both [[Pokémon food|for Pokémon]] and for humans.
[[File:Brock and Nurse Joy.png|250px|thumb|right|Brock flirting with Nurse Joy]]
One of his best known character traits is that he falls in love with every pretty woman he meets, particularly [[Officer Jenny]] and [[Nurse Joy]]. He can tell whether they are real (women) or [[Team Rocket|impo]][[Brodie|stors]] as well. This "ability" has been used multiple times in the series. He has always held a supporting role in the series, usually contributing more in terms of wisdom and comedic antics than the action and {{pkmn|battle}}s of the series.

Early on, he showed that he carries around a {{badge|Boulder}} for identification. He also has a [[Contest Pass]] for the [[Kanto]] region, though he only used it once, as well as one for [[Hoenn]] which was required to watch a contest there.

Brock has had two notable musical appearances. One is the Japanese ending theme タケシのパラダイス ''[[Takeshi's Paradise]]'', which is about his love for women and his determination to find love despite often appearing foolish and getting heartbroken. There is a running joke about him singing this song often in the anime, since it's the only song he knows. The other is the [[Pokémon Karaokémon]] song ''[[Two Perfect Girls]]'', which is about his love of both Officer Jenny and Nurse Joy.

==Appearance==
[[Image:TakeshiAG.png|200px|thumb|right|Brock in the ''Advanced Generation'' series]]
Brock's most notable feature about his appearance is that his eyes naturally appear closed. The rare times people see them open are when they are forced open unnaturally: from a hit with {{AP|Charmander's|Charizard}} {{m|Flamethrower}} in ''[[EP032|The Ninja Poké-Showdown]]'', when being hit in the back of the head by {{TP|Jessie|Arbok}}'s tail in ''[[EP050|Who Gets to Keep Togepi?]]'', and when he makes a face for {{AP|Larvitar}} in ''[[EP260|A Crowning Achievement]]''. This has been the center of fan attention for a long time.

He also has tan skin, notably darker than the skin of any other major character in the anime until the {{series|Best Wishes}}.

Brock is the tallest of {{ashfr|main characters}}, and the closest to looking like an adult. Next to actual adult characters, however, it is clear that he is still a teenager.

Not counting temporary outfits, he has worn {{DL|List of clothing in the anime|Brock|three different outfits}} over the span of the anime, all of which have had the colors orange, green, and brown, with blue shoes. His outfits in the games are also made up of the colors orange, green, and brown.

==Character==
[[Image:Brock's eyes.png|thumb|left|200px|Brock with his eyes open in ''[[EP260|A Crowning Achievement]]''.]]
Brock is considered the most mature, wise and level-headed of the main characters, and he is arguably the most intelligent character as well. He often acts as an older brother and caretaker to the other characters and a voice of reason in disputes. He will usually place others before him and will help and support his friends even against his better judgment or at his own expense. While he is not shown to battle often, he can understand the situations and strategies in any [[Pokémon battle]], and often explains them to the other characters, probably due to the fact that he was once a [[Gym Leader]]. His wisdom is possibly derived from how observant he is; he can tell just by sight how a Pokémon is feeling and spot the differences between the various [[Officer Jenny]] and [[Nurse Joy]].

Brock always carries books and maps with him, and thus is usually the character who knows where the group is headed and what they can do when they get there, though in [[Advanced Generation series|Advanced Generation]] this role was mostly taken over by the [[PokéNav]]. He also carries a lot of other supplies, such as [[potion]]s, [[Pokémon food]], and a set of cookware, as well as practical tools like a brush and pocket knife; in ''[[EP009|The School of Hard Knocks]]'', the extent of his preparedness and comically large capacity of his [[bag]] was demonstrated, as he pulled out a table and full tea set out of his backpack. He is a domestic, and grooms not only his Pokémon but also those of his friends with whom he travels. He handles all the cooking and cleaning for his friends.

Despite this, all his maturity and rationality leaves him completely at the sight of a beautiful woman, as he falls in love with every pretty girl he meets. Brock has a desperate need for female companionship which grows worse as he fails to gain it. He will do anything and everything he thinks will impress women, which inevitably ends with his heart being broken every time. A few women have shown interest in him as well, such as [[Wilhelmina]], [[Temacu]], {{FB|Pike Queen|Lucy}} and [[Holly]], but most do not notice him or are not interested. No matter how many times he is disappointed, though, Brock remains determined to find a girl to start a relationship with, and has indicated several times he would stop traveling with Ash and stay with the girl if this happened. This behavior tends to wear on the nerves of other characters, and {{an|Misty}} and [[Max]] have both commonly dragged Brock away from women by his ear. Some of Brock's own Pokémon, most notably {{TP|Brock|Croagunk}}, have attacked him for getting too flirtatious with women.

His goals have played a passive role in his character's activity and development. Unlike other characters, who aspire to achieve and excel in competitive fields like [[Pokémon training]] and [[Pokémon Contest]]s, his aim to become a great Pokémon Breeder is a quiet one and thus does not get showcased frequently. His other goal, to find a girlfriend, is similar to [[Team Rocket]]'s quest to capture {{AP|Pikachu}} in that both are for comedy and thus doomed to fail. His role has always been purely one as support for other main characters.

===History===
[[Image:Young Brock.png|thumb|right|A young Brock]]
Not much is known about his early childhood, except that his first Pokémon was his {{TP|Brock|Onix|Steelix}}, which he received as a gift at the age of 10. Sometime after, his father, {{ka|Flint}}, left home to become a great {{pkmn|Trainer}}. When he never returned, his mother, [[Lola]], left them as well, leaving Brock to take care of {{Brocksib|his siblings}}, as well as their house and [[Pewter Gym]], by himself (though the English version of ''[[EP005|Showdown in Pewter City]]'' has Flint claim she died, and some speculate he was lying). However, Flint eventually returned home considering himself a failure, and instead of returning to his family he donned a disguise and sold rocks as souvenirs at the edge of town. After Brock awarded Ash the Boulder Badge, Flint came forward and confessed who he was. Flint took on the responsibilities of the Pewter Gym and his family, leaving Brock free to journey with Ash and {{an|Misty}}.

Brock only became the Gym Leader because he felt it was his responsibility, and he admitted to Ash that he would rather care for Pokémon than battle them. It is his dream to become a great breeder, and when Flint took back control of the Gym, Brock was allowed to start following this dream. Most notably, he took care of a {{TP|Brock|Vulpix}} that belonged to a breeder named [[Suzy]]. Shortly before Vulpix was returned, Brock used it in a [[Pokémon Beauty Contest]].

Brock was also able to meet and make advances towards the many beautiful women he met. At first, he was more casual about approaching women, such as the [[Officer Jenny]] in [[Cerulean City]], and more modest as well, such as when he met [[Melanie]]. However, he became more open and passionate towards almost all single young women as time progressed.

Brock briefly left the show during the [[Pokémon: The Adventures in the Orange Islands|Orange Islands saga]] to work for [[Professor Ivy]] on [[Valencia Island]] and so is only seen in a couple of cameos in the [[M02|second movie]]. While there, something happened that will probably remain secret as Brock will only huddle and say "that name" whenever he is asked about it. (Brock does mention his work for her in ''[[M07|Destiny Deoxys]]'', though this line was added in the dub.) After this incident, Brock returned to Kanto where he was found by [[Delia Ketchum]], who helped him to regain his strength. Brock then became a rival to [[Mimey]] until he rejoined Ash and Misty as the three traveled to [[Johto]]. They stayed together for the entire region, but at the end of this journey, the three went their separate ways, with Brock's help requested at home by his father.

Upon his return home, Brock was dismayed to find that his mother had returned and commandeered the gym, turning the Rock-type haven into a brightly decorated {{type2|Water}} den. Brock battled her for the honor of Rock-types and won, promising his brother [[Forrest]] that he would become Gym Leader someday.

After that, Brock returned to follow Ash through [[Hoenn]], along with their new friends {{an|May}} and [[Max]], and then through Kanto again as Ash took on the Kanto {{Gdis|Battle Frontier|III}}. He left briefly when the Advanced Generation series ended in order to visit his home, but quickly returned to travel with Ash and {{an|Dawn}} in [[Sinnoh]]. Near the end of the Sinnoh saga, Brock began to show interest in becoming a Pokémon doctor, and so, rather than following Ash to [[Unova]] to advise him, decided to remain in Kanto to study.

Brock is among the longest-running main characters in the anime, having been present in nearly every episode between ''[[EP005|Showdown in Pewter City]]'' and [[DP191]], with the notable exception of the [[List of original series episodes#Orange Islands|Orange Islands saga]], the [[EP274|final original series episode]], the first three episodes of the {{series|Advanced Generation}}, and the [[DP001|first episode of the ''Diamond & Pearl'' series]]. His tenure is ranked only under {{Ash}} and {{AP|Pikachu}}, who have appeared in every episode, and [[Jessie]], [[James]], and {{MTR}}, who have appeared in every episode except for the first and [[AG120]].

===Pokémon===
As gym tradition dictated, Brock's first Pokémon were Rock-types. However, once he was able to leave his gym to travel, he has dedicated himself to learn about how to care for a variety of Pokémon. Thus, his Pokémon tend to be an eclectic mix of types and dispositions. However, all of his Pokémon tend to have strong bonds with Brock and are on par with {{Ash}}'s Pokémon in terms of battling strength, despite the fact that Brock does not go out of his way to train his Pokémon.

This is a listing of Brock's Pokémon as of the most recent Japanese episode. As Brock has returned to Pewter City in order to study to becoming a Pokémon Doctor, all of his Pokémon are there and none are listed as "on hand."

==In the manga==
===In The Electric Tale of Pikachu manga===
[[File:Brock EToP.jpg|thumb|right|Brock in The Electric Tale of Pikachu]]
Brock is a frequent recurring character in the {{pkmn|manga}} series [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]]. Like in the anime, he is a traveling companion of {{Ash}} and {{an|Misty}}.

Brock first appears in ''[[ET02|Play Misty For Me]]'', where Ash challenges him for the [[Boulder Badge]]. After defeating Brock and earning the badge, Ash leaves [[Pewter City]] and continues his journey alone.

Brock reappears in ''[[ET04|Haunting My Dreams]]'', meeting Ash by coincidence in [[Saffron City]]. He becomes a steady traveling companion of Ash in ''[[ET05|The Human Race and the Pokémon Race]]'', though he seperates from Ash in ''[[ET11|Days of Gloom and Glory]]'' while he prepares for the [[Indigo Plateau Conference]].

Brock in the manga is much like he is in the Pokémon anime: he is the Leader of the [[Pewter City]] Gym, but he takes a break from his duties as [[Gym Leader]] to travel. Unlike in the anime, he does not hand control of the Gym to his {{ka|Flint|father}} or his {{TP|Brock|siblings}}, instead, he closes the Gym completely while he travels. Brock has a weakness for pretty girls such as [[the Sensational Sisters]], and he is the only character that can tell the many [[Nurse Joy]]s and [[Officer Jenny]]s apart.

[[File:Ash and Brock MPJ.png|thumb|left|Ash and Brock in Magical Pokémon Journey]]

===In the Magical Pokémon Journey manga===
Brock, along with {{Ash}} and {{an|Misty}}, make cameo appearances in bonus chapters of the [[Magical Pokémon Journey]] manga. In those, Brock and co. have mistakenly wandered into the world Magical Pokémon Journey is set in. The bonus chapters chronicle their attempts to return to their own world (of the {{pkmn|anime}}) and their encounters with various aspects of the Magical Pokémon Journey canon which differ from the anime's canon (such as the use of [[Poké Ball]]s).

==Trivia==
* Most official sources do not give Brock a last name. However, several sources suggest that in the anime, his last name is Harrison. In the July 2006 issue of [[K-Zone]] Magazine, [[Eric Stuart]] was interviewed and stated that Brock's last name is '''Harrison'''.
* Brock's house is located directly behind the Pewter Gym. His room is only seen briefly in ''[[AG034|Having a Wailord of a Time]]'', but what is seen of it shows that it is decorated in a traditional Japanese style, including {{wp|fusuma}}, a {{wp|tansu}} chest, and a {{wp|futon}} for a bed.
* Both of Brock's {{type|Poison}} Pokémon, {{TP|Brock|Crobat}} and {{TP|Brock|Croagunk}}, have names that start with ''Cro-''.
* Brock is the fourth main character to own a Pokémon hatched from an egg. The first was {{an|Misty}} with {{TP|Misty|Togepi}} and later {{TP|Misty|Azurill}}, the second was {{Ash}} with {{TP|Ash|Phanpy}}, and the third was {{an|May}} with {{TP|May|Eevee}}.
* Brock is one of three of Ash's friends who has had their father make an appearance in the anime. The others are {{an|May}} and [[Max]], who are brother and sister. Coincidentally, both fathers are Gym Leaders.
* Brock captured a new Pokémon sooner after his debut than any other main character, even Ash, by capturing [[Brock's Crobat|Zubat]] in [[EP006]].
* Brock's ''Advanced Generation'' and first ''Diamond & Pearl'' stock art use the same pose, changing only his outfit. However, a second stock art of ''Diamond & Pearl'' Brock was released in a different pose.
* Brock has been shown to be able to identify when women are really cross dressing men in disguise by having a peculiar lack of attraction to them. He's also able to do the opposite. A significant exception to this is Ash, who in the guise of [[Ashley]] was able to fool Brock.
* Brock has owned four Pokémon [[List of Pokémon with cross-generational evolutions|whose evolutions debuted in a different generation]] than that Pokémon. ({{TP|Brock|Golbat|Crobat}}, {{TP|Brock|Onix|Steelix}}, {{TP|Brock|Bonsly|Sudowoodo}}, and {{TP|Brock|Happiny}}). All of them have since evolved.
* When the {{series|Advanced Generation}} started, Brock brought only his {{TP|Brock|Forretress}} with him. Forretress is not in the [[List of Pokémon by Hoenn Pokédex number|Hoenn Pokédex]].
* Brock is the only one out of all of Ash's friends to have owned at least one Pokémon from each of the first four generations.
* Brock is the only one of [[Ash's friends]] to appear in every movie. However, his appearance in ''[[M02|The Power of One]]'' was merely a cameo.

===Interview with Hidaka about Brock's short absence from the anime===
There had been some debate between members of the fanbase in regards to why Brock was removed from the main cast during the Orange Islands arc, why [[Tracey Sketchit]] was created, and why Brock returned later. In an [http://www.pokebeach.com/news/0708/second-pokemon-interview-with-masamitsu-hidaka-many-interesting-points interview] with former Pokémon anime director and storyboard artist [[Masamitsu Hidaka]], he stated his own reason why Brock was removed from the cast and why he eventually returned. He (or, rather his translator) revealed that the true reason they replaced Brock is because, once they realized Pokémon was going global, there was a chance that Americans, if not anyone else outside of Japan, would view Brock as a racist stereotype because of his eyes (even though there wasn't an actual complaint yet). So they created a "tall, anglo-saxon looking person to be on the safe side". They later replaced Tracey with Brock again once they realized that no one really cared as to what Brock looks like, and actually enjoyed his character.

However, this was only stated by Hidaka and not by any other staff member.

'''Brock''' (Japanese: '''タケシ''' ''Takeshi'') is a close {{ashfr|friend}} and former traveling partner of [[Ash Ketchum]].

==About==
[[Image:Brock OS.png|200px|thumb|left|Brock in the original series]]
In the {{pkmn|anime}}, Brock is a [[Pokémon Breeder]] and a former [[Gym Leader]] who is a {{ashfr|close friend}} and traveling companion of {{Ash}}'s. Some notes on official sketches of his character set his age at 15 at the start of the series.

He originally trained {{type2|Rock}} [[Pokémon]], but has, since [[EP006|the second episode he appeared in]], diversified. As he has stated in ''[[DP125|Battling A Cute Drama!]]'', his philosophy is that the important thing about being a Pokémon Trainer is the bond between Trainer and Pokémon. He is an experienced cook and caretaker by nature, so he always makes scrumptious food both [[Pokémon food|for Pokémon]] and for humans.
[[File:Brock and Nurse Joy.png|250px|thumb|right|Brock flirting with Nurse Joy]]
One of his best known character traits is that he falls in love with every pretty woman he meets, particularly [[Officer Jenny]] and [[Nurse Joy]]. He can tell whether they are real (women) or [[Team Rocket|impo]][[Brodie|stors]] as well. This "ability" has been used multiple times in the series. He has always held a supporting role in the series, usually contributing more in terms of wisdom and comedic antics than the action and {{pkmn|battle}}s of the series.

Early on, he showed that he carries around a {{badge|Boulder}} for identification. He also has a [[Contest Pass]] for the [[Kanto]] region, though he only used it once, as well as one for [[Hoenn]] which was required to watch a contest there.

Brock has had two notable musical appearances. One is the Japanese ending theme タケシのパラダイス ''[[Takeshi's Paradise]]'', which is about his love for women and his determination to find love despite often appearing foolish and getting heartbroken. There is a running joke about him singing this song often in the anime, since it's the only song he knows. The other is the [[Pokémon Karaokémon]] song ''[[Two Perfect Girls]]'', which is about his love of both Officer Jenny and Nurse Joy.

==Appearance==
[[Image:TakeshiAG.png|200px|thumb|right|Brock in the ''Advanced Generation'' series]]
Brock's most notable feature about his appearance is that his eyes naturally appear closed. The rare times people see them open are when they are forced open unnaturally: from a hit with {{AP|Charmander's|Charizard}} {{m|Flamethrower}} in ''[[EP032|The Ninja Poké-Showdown]]'', when being hit in the back of the head by {{TP|Jessie|Arbok}}'s tail in ''[[EP050|Who Gets to Keep Togepi?]]'', and when he makes a face for {{AP|Larvitar}} in ''[[EP260|A Crowning Achievement]]''. This has been the center of fan attention for a long time.

He also has tan skin, notably darker than the skin of any other major character in the anime until the {{series|Best Wishes}}.

Brock is the tallest of {{ashfr|main characters}}, and the closest to looking like an adult. Next to actual adult characters, however, it is clear that he is still a teenager.

Not counting temporary outfits, he has worn {{DL|List of clothing in the anime|Brock|three different outfits}} over the span of the anime, all of which have had the colors orange, green, and brown, with blue shoes. His outfits in the games are also made up of the colors orange, green, and brown.

==Character==
[[Image:Brock's eyes.png|thumb|left|200px|Brock with his eyes open in ''[[EP260|A Crowning Achievement]]''.]]
Brock is considered the most mature, wise and level-headed of the main characters, and he is arguably the most intelligent character as well. He often acts as an older brother and caretaker to the other characters and a voice of reason in disputes. He will usually place others before him and will help and support his friends even against his better judgment or at his own expense. While he is not shown to battle often, he can understand the situations and strategies in any [[Pokémon battle]], and often explains them to the other characters, probably due to the fact that he was once a [[Gym Leader]]. His wisdom is possibly derived from how observant he is; he can tell just by sight how a Pokémon is feeling and spot the differences between the various [[Officer Jenny]] and [[Nurse Joy]].

Brock always carries books and maps with him, and thus is usually the character who knows where the group is headed and what they can do when they get there, though in [[Advanced Generation series|Advanced Generation]] this role was mostly taken over by the [[PokéNav]]. He also carries a lot of other supplies, such as [[potion]]s, [[Pokémon food]], and a set of cookware, as well as practical tools like a brush and pocket knife; in ''[[EP009|The School of Hard Knocks]]'', the extent of his preparedness and comically large capacity of his [[bag]] was demonstrated, as he pulled out a table and full tea set out of his backpack. He is a domestic, and grooms not only his Pokémon but also those of his friends with whom he travels. He handles all the cooking and cleaning for his friends.

Despite this, all his maturity and rationality leaves him completely at the sight of a beautiful woman, as he falls in love with every pretty girl he meets. Brock has a desperate need for female companionship which grows worse as he fails to gain it. He will do anything and everything he thinks will impress women, which inevitably ends with his heart being broken every time. A few women have shown interest in him as well, such as [[Wilhelmina]], [[Temacu]], {{FB|Pike Queen|Lucy}} and [[Holly]], but most do not notice him or are not interested. No matter how many times he is disappointed, though, Brock remains determined to find a girl to start a relationship with, and has indicated several times he would stop traveling with Ash and stay with the girl if this happened. This behavior tends to wear on the nerves of other characters, and {{an|Misty}} and [[Max]] have both commonly dragged Brock away from women by his ear. Some of Brock's own Pokémon, most notably {{TP|Brock|Croagunk}}, have attacked him for getting too flirtatious with women.

His goals have played a passive role in his character's activity and development. Unlike other characters, who aspire to achieve and excel in competitive fields like [[Pokémon training]] and [[Pokémon Contest]]s, his aim to become a great Pokémon Breeder is a quiet one and thus does not get showcased frequently. His other goal, to find a girlfriend, is similar to [[Team Rocket]]'s quest to capture {{AP|Pikachu}} in that both are for comedy and thus doomed to fail. His role has always been purely one as support for other main characters.

===History===
[[Image:Young Brock.png|thumb|right|A young Brock]]
Not much is known about his early childhood, except that his first Pokémon was his {{TP|Brock|Onix|Steelix}}, which he received as a gift at the age of 10. Sometime after, his father, {{ka|Flint}}, left home to become a great {{pkmn|Trainer}}. When he never returned, his mother, [[Lola]], left them as well, leaving Brock to take care of {{Brocksib|his siblings}}, as well as their house and [[Pewter Gym]], by himself (though the English version of ''[[EP005|Showdown in Pewter City]]'' has Flint claim she died, and some speculate he was lying). However, Flint eventually returned home considering himself a failure, and instead of returning to his family he donned a disguise and sold rocks as souvenirs at the edge of town. After Brock awarded Ash the Boulder Badge, Flint came forward and confessed who he was. Flint took on the responsibilities of the Pewter Gym and his family, leaving Brock free to journey with Ash and {{an|Misty}}.

Brock only became the Gym Leader because he felt it was his responsibility, and he admitted to Ash that he would rather care for Pokémon than battle them. It is his dream to become a great breeder, and when Flint took back control of the Gym, Brock was allowed to start following this dream. Most notably, he took care of a {{TP|Brock|Vulpix}} that belonged to a breeder named [[Suzy]]. Shortly before Vulpix was returned, Brock used it in a [[Pokémon Beauty Contest]].

Brock was also able to meet and make advances towards the many beautiful women he met. At first, he was more casual about approaching women, such as the [[Officer Jenny]] in [[Cerulean City]], and more modest as well, such as when he met [[Melanie]]. However, he became more open and passionate towards almost all single young women as time progressed.

Brock briefly left the show during the [[Pokémon: The Adventures in the Orange Islands|Orange Islands saga]] to work for [[Professor Ivy]] on [[Valencia Island]] and so is only seen in a couple of cameos in the [[M02|second movie]]. While there, something happened that will probably remain secret as Brock will only huddle and say "that name" whenever he is asked about it. (Brock does mention his work for her in ''[[M07|Destiny Deoxys]]'', though this line was added in the dub.) After this incident, Brock returned to Kanto where he was found by [[Delia Ketchum]], who helped him to regain his strength. Brock then became a rival to [[Mimey]] until he rejoined Ash and Misty as the three traveled to [[Johto]]. They stayed together for the entire region, but at the end of this journey, the three went their separate ways, with Brock's help requested at home by his father.

Upon his return home, Brock was dismayed to find that his mother had returned and commandeered the gym, turning the Rock-type haven into a brightly decorated {{type2|Water}} den. Brock battled her for the honor of Rock-types and won, promising his brother [[Forrest]] that he would become Gym Leader someday.

After that, Brock returned to follow Ash through [[Hoenn]], along with their new friends {{an|May}} and [[Max]], and then through Kanto again as Ash took on the Kanto {{Gdis|Battle Frontier|III}}. He left briefly when the Advanced Generation series ended in order to visit his home, but quickly returned to travel with Ash and {{an|Dawn}} in [[Sinnoh]]. Near the end of the Sinnoh saga, Brock began to show interest in becoming a Pokémon doctor, and so, rather than following Ash to [[Unova]] to advise him, decided to remain in Kanto to study.

Brock is among the longest-running main characters in the anime, having been present in nearly every episode between ''[[EP005|Showdown in Pewter City]]'' and [[DP191]], with the notable exception of the [[List of original series episodes#Orange Islands|Orange Islands saga]], the [[EP274|final original series episode]], the first three episodes of the {{series|Advanced Generation}}, and the [[DP001|first episode of the ''Diamond & Pearl'' series]]. His tenure is ranked only under {{Ash}} and {{AP|Pikachu}}, who have appeared in every episode, and [[Jessie]], [[James]], and {{MTR}}, who have appeared in every episode except for the first and [[AG120]].

===Pokémon===
As gym tradition dictated, Brock's first Pokémon were Rock-types. However, once he was able to leave his gym to travel, he has dedicated himself to learn about how to care for a variety of Pokémon. Thus, his Pokémon tend to be an eclectic mix of types and dispositions. However, all of his Pokémon tend to have strong bonds with Brock and are on par with {{Ash}}'s Pokémon in terms of battling strength, despite the fact that Brock does not go out of his way to train his Pokémon.

This is a listing of Brock's Pokémon as of the most recent Japanese episode. As Brock has returned to Pewter City in order to study to becoming a Pokémon Doctor, all of his Pokémon are there and none are listed as "on hand."

==In the manga==
===In The Electric Tale of Pikachu manga===
[[File:Brock EToP.jpg|thumb|right|Brock in The Electric Tale of Pikachu]]
Brock is a frequent recurring character in the {{pkmn|manga}} series [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]]. Like in the anime, he is a traveling companion of {{Ash}} and {{an|Misty}}.

Brock first appears in ''[[ET02|Play Misty For Me]]'', where Ash challenges him for the [[Boulder Badge]]. After defeating Brock and earning the badge, Ash leaves [[Pewter City]] and continues his journey alone.

Brock reappears in ''[[ET04|Haunting My Dreams]]'', meeting Ash by coincidence in [[Saffron City]]. He becomes a steady traveling companion of Ash in ''[[ET05|The Human Race and the Pokémon Race]]'', though he seperates from Ash in ''[[ET11|Days of Gloom and Glory]]'' while he prepares for the [[Indigo Plateau Conference]].

Brock in the manga is much like he is in the Pokémon anime: he is the Leader of the [[Pewter City]] Gym, but he takes a break from his duties as [[Gym Leader]] to travel. Unlike in the anime, he does not hand control of the Gym to his {{ka|Flint|father}} or his {{TP|Brock|siblings}}, instead, he closes the Gym completely while he travels. Brock has a weakness for pretty girls such as [[the Sensational Sisters]], and he is the only character that can tell the many [[Nurse Joy]]s and [[Officer Jenny]]s apart.

===In the Magical Pokémon Journey manga===
Brock, along with {{Ash}} and {{an|Misty}}, make cameo appearances in bonus chapters of the [[Magical Pokémon Journey]] manga. In those, Brock and co. have mistakenly wandered into the world Magical Pokémon Journey is set in. The bonus chapters chronicle their attempts to return to their own world (of the {{pkmn|anime}}) and their encounters with various aspects of the Magical Pokémon Journey canon which differ from the anime's canon (such as the use of [[Poké Ball]]s).

==Trivia==
* Most official sources do not give Brock a last name. However, several sources suggest that in the anime, his last name is Harrison. In the July 2006 issue of [[K-Zone]] Magazine, [[Eric Stuart]] was interviewed and stated that Brock's last name is '''Harrison'''.
* Brock's house is located directly behind the Pewter Gym. His room is only seen briefly in ''[[AG034|Having a Wailord of a Time]]'', but what is seen of it shows that it is decorated in a traditional Japanese style, including {{wp|fusuma}}, a {{wp|tansu}} chest, and a {{wp|futon}} for a bed.
* Both of Brock's {{type|Poison}} Pokémon, {{TP|Brock|Crobat}} and {{TP|Brock|Croagunk}}, have names that start with ''Cro-''.
* Brock is the fourth main character to own a Pokémon hatched from an egg. The first was {{an|Misty}} with {{TP|Misty|Togepi}} and later {{TP|Misty|Azurill}}, the second was {{Ash}} with {{TP|Ash|Phanpy}}, and the third was {{an|May}} with {{TP|May|Eevee}}.
* Brock is one of three of Ash's friends who has had their father make an appearance in the anime. The others are {{an|May}} and [[Max]], who are brother and sister. Coincidentally, both fathers are Gym Leaders.
* Brock captured a new Pokémon sooner after his debut than any other main character, even Ash, by capturing [[Brock's Crobat|Zubat]] in [[EP006]].
* Brock's ''Advanced Generation'' and first ''Diamond & Pearl'' stock art use the same pose, changing only his outfit. However, a second stock art of ''Diamond & Pearl'' Brock was released in a different pose.
* Brock has been shown to be able to identify when women are really cross dressing men in disguise by having a peculiar lack of attraction to them. He's also able to do the opposite. A significant exception to this is Ash, who in the guise of [[Ashley]] was able to fool Brock.
* Brock has owned four Pokémon [[List of Pokémon with cross-generational evolutions|whose evolutions debuted in a different generation]] than that Pokémon. ({{TP|Brock|Golbat|Crobat}}, {{TP|Brock|Onix|Steelix}}, {{TP|Brock|Bonsly|Sudowoodo}}, and {{TP|Brock|Happiny}}). All of them have since evolved.
* When the {{series|Advanced Generation}} started, Brock brought only his {{TP|Brock|Forretress}} with him. Forretress is not in the [[List of Pokémon by Hoenn Pokédex number|Hoenn Pokédex]].
* Brock is the only one out of all of Ash's friends to have owned at least one Pokémon from each of the first four generations.
* Brock is the only one of [[Ash's friends]] to appear in every movie. However, his appearance in ''[[M02|The Power of One]]'' was merely a cameo.

===Interview with Hidaka about Brock's short absence from the anime===
There had been some debate between members of the fanbase in regards to why Brock was removed from the main cast during the Orange Islands arc, why [[Tracey Sketchit]] was created, and why Brock returned later. In an [http://www.pokebeach.com/news/0708/second-pokemon-interview-with-masamitsu-hidaka-many-interesting-points interview] with former Pokémon anime director and storyboard artist [[Masamitsu Hidaka]], he stated his own reason why Brock was removed from the cast and why he eventually returned. He (or, rather his translator) revealed that the true reason they replaced Brock is because, once they realized Pokémon was going global, there was a chance that Americans, if not anyone else outside of Japan, would view Brock as a racist stereotype because of his eyes (even though there wasn't an actual complaint yet). So they created a "tall, anglo-saxon looking person to be on the safe side". They later replaced Tracey with Brock again once they realized that no one really cared as to what Brock looks like, and actually enjoyed his character.

However, this was only stated by Hidaka and not by any other staff member.

==Synopsis==

{{synopsis cleanup}} 
[[Ash]] is very excited about battling, and having reached [[Current Town]], he decides to head straight for the Pokémon [[Battle Club]]. He enters the building, and immediately starts searching for [[Pokémon Trainer|trainers]], while {{an|Iris}} and {{an|Dent}} catches up, panting and breathing heavily. Iris then sarcastically comments on Ash's reaction to the Battle Club, telling him that he behaves like a small child. Ash, unaware, searches through the database of trainers, and manages to find one that interests him - [[Shooti]].

Iris, having never met Shooti before, gives a doubtful look, while Dent exclaims in surprise. Dent explains that Shooti had once been to his [[Gym]] in [[Sanyou City]], and was awarded the {{badge|Tri}}. Iris becomes even more puzzled, and Ash explains that Shooti was the trainer he met in [[Professor Araragi]]'s lab and the one whom he first battled in [[Isshu]].

Ash shouts in excitement when [[Don George]] suddenly appears behind him, seemingly unable to remember Ash. Ash wonders if he is from [[Karakusa Town]], and soon learns that there are Battle Clubs located everywhere in [[Isshu]], each club is run by a Don George of an identical, extended family. Don George then shows them his family picture: the Don George in Karakusa Town stands at the back row, while he himself is in a half-squat position in the front row, all surrounded by similar looking Don Georges in different poses. Don George then activates the in-built [[Live Caster]] in the trainer-searching machine and tries to contact Shooti. 

Shooti is taking pictures when his Live Caster rings. He attends to it, and Don George greets him, informing him that Ash requests a battle with him. Ash appears soon after and subsequently Iris and Dent, who both introduce themselves. While Shooti is surprised that Dent is not at his gym, Ash interrupts and displays his excitement for the battle. Shooti, however, does not seem very interested and goes on to explain how his {{TP|Shooti|Tsutarja}} easily defeated Ash's {{AP|Pikachu}}. Ash formally rebukes, saying that it was due to {{p|Zekrom}} that Pikachu was unable to use electric attacks (Dent became particularly interested and Iris explains to him at the back), and now Pikachu is not his only Pokémon - he had obtained other Pokémon as well. (His agitation caused him to kick the machine.)

Shooti then appears at the entrance of the Battle Club, requesting a 6-on-6 full [[Pokémon Battle]]. Ash paused for a moment, and tells him that he has only five Pokémon. Shooti looks at him in disbelief, and while he appeared to be considering, Ash takes out his {{badge|Tri}} and shows it to him. Shooti grins for a moment, then tells him that he has obtained two badges. He then goes on to apologize to Don George, saying that he will not battle 5-on-5. Following that, he taunts Ash and tells him that he will not battle him, especially 'a trainer from a countryside area like [[Kanto]]'. As he taunts him even further, he finally prepares to take his leave. However, after Iris passes a few sarcastic remarks and calls him a 'small child', and Dent recites a meaningful prose, Shooti changes his mind and declares that he wants to battle Ash, 5-on-5.

Don George stands in the center-side of the field, reciting the rules of the battle while Ash and Shooti stand across each other, ready to battle. As Don George waves his hands and declares the battle open, Shooti sends out {{TP|Shooti|Hatooboo}}, the evolved form of {{p|Mamepato}}. Ash checks his [[Pokédex]], then sends out {{AP|Mijumaru}}. Proudly announcing that Mijumaru once belonged to [[Professor Araragi]] and helped him win his {{badge|Tri}} at the Sanyou Gym, Ash starts the battle by telling Mijumaru to use {{m|Water Gun}}. A jet of water was shot into the air, but Hatooboo turns abruptly and dodges it. Under the command of its trainer, it moves lower to the ground and uses {{m|Aerial Ace}} - first striking the Sea Otter Pokémon from the front and knocking off his shell, then finally returning from the back and hitting it, causing it to faint. Don George, being the referee, declares that Mijumaru is unable to battle, and a point goes to Shooti.

Ash was left awestruck, unable to comprehend what had happened when Shooti talks about Hatooboo's unique properties. From a distance, Iris and Dent break into conversation; they could not help but silently agree with what Shooti had said. Ash recalls Mijumaru, then sends out {{AP|Pokabu}}. As Shooti tries to taunt Ash, Ash starts the round again by telling Pokabu to use {{m|Ember}}. As red flames shot out from Pokabu's snout, Hatooboo dodges it again and sweeps past Pokabu, clearly displaying its skill and speed. As Pokabu continues firing into the sky, Hatooboo continues dodging, until it breaks apart into a flock - Shooti had told it to use {{m|Double Team}}. Pokabu stares blankly at Hatooboo when Ash calls out to him - Hatooboo is now using {{m|Cheer Up}}; it glows a bright red and turns around, facing Pokabu and readying its next attack. Once again, Shooti tells it to use Aerial Ace, and Pokabu stares at the flock, unable to determine which one is real.

Quickly, the flock of Hatooboo combines into one, it glows red again and flies low into the ground, straight at Pokabu. With a bang, a repeat of what had happened previously to Mijumaru had taken place: the Pigeon Pokémon had struck Pokabu from the front and back, and Pokabu now lay sprawled on the ground, fainted. Don George, once again, gives another point to Shooti.

As Ash recalls Pokabu, Shooti taunts him for not having his basics as a trainer. Ash, feeling slightly angered, now decides to send Pikachu into battle for the next round.

Meanwhile, the [[Team Rocket]] trio, [[Jessie]], [[James]] and {{MTR}}, are gathered in the center of a garbage dump in anticipation of a person's arrival. [[Officer Jenny]] suddenly shows up, her fellow policemen having surrounded them and climbing over the garbage. Apparently the Jenny at Sanyou City had informed all the other Jennys about them, and the trio are now wanted for their capture. Nevertheless, Team Rocket stood there, calm and composed.

Pikachu charges electricity, and aims a {{m|Thunderbolt}} at Shooti's Hatooboo to which it dodges. The {{t|Flying}} Pokémon glowed red again, and following its Cheer Up, it attacks Pikachu from the front and then the back with its Aerial Ace. Pikachu lies on the ground, but he picks himself up. Shooti is then determined to repeat what Hatooboo had done to Mijumaru and Pokabu. He commands Hatooboo to once again, use Aerial Ace. Ash, spotting his attack pattern, asks Pikachu to grab hold of Hatooboo's feet. As Hatooboo flies near the ground and hits Pikachu, the {{t|Electric}} Mouse Pokémon does as he was told, and hangs loose from underneath its wings. Quickly, he weighs it down and as both Pokémon crash onto the floor, Pikachu swings Hatooboo around and throws it into the air. Immediately, Pikachu charges itself with electricity and rams Hatooboo, sprawled in mid-air, with its {{m|Volt Tackle}}. Pikachu lands on its feet, but Hatooboo flies across the ground, is spread-eagled on its back and faints. Don George declares Hatooboo unable to battle, and Pikachu wins the round.

Iris, {{TP|Iris|Kibago}} and Dent watches from afar and cheers on Ash. While Ash is savoring his victory, telling how different Pikachu was from the battle at [[Kanoko Town]], Shooti sends out his next Pokémon, {{TP|Shooti|Janovy}}. Ash and Pikachu look at Janovy in surprise. As Ash recalls the match in Kanoko Town with Shooti's Tustarja, Dent tells Iris how Shooti had obtained the {{badge|Tri}} with his Janovy by defeating [[Pod#In_the_anime|Pod]] and his [[Pod#Pokémon_2|Baoppu]].

Meanwhile, Officer Jenny and her policemen are advancing on Team Rocket, ready to arrest them should they decide to escape. Suddenly, a rushing truck barges into the dump and causes the surrounding policemen to flee from the dangerous vehicle. The truck drifts, swerves and skids to a halt beside Team Rocket. As the door opens ready to pick the trio up, the driver is now revealed: the agent which [[Giovanni]] had arranged for them to meet.

As fast as they could, they got into the vehicle and Officer Jenny's crew followed on motorcycles and police cars; a chase had begun. Officer Jenny drove forward, and the two vehicles were now neck to neck. Officer Jenny demanded them to stop the truck but the truck suddenly picked up speed - it was driving into a half-constructed road where it abruptly ended in mid-air. The truck still pushed on: it drove past the point where there was any road at all and was toppling down into the ground below. Right before the truck could overturn any further, the top hatch opened. As Officer Jenny banks her motorcycle and skids to a halt, she watches the explosion from the truck below, and the Team Rocket trio whom escaped from her flee into the sky with another mysterious individual.

Having escaped Officer Jenny, the agent now hands over a briefcase to James. As he prepares to leave, he tells them his name: [[Flint_(Team_Rocket)|Flint]]. He then escapes into the clouds, while the trio now make their way towards the [[Resort Desert]] through the sky.

Pikachu's tail hardens into a block of metal and prepares to hit Janovy with {{m|Iron Tail}}. However, the latter rushes towards Pikachu and uses {{m|Cut}}, and blocks the attack. Subsequently, Shooti tells Janovy to use {{m|Grass Mixer}}. The Grass Snake Pokémon whips up a tornado of leaves and grass and hurls it at Pikachu, drawing him into the vortex. As the tornado lands, it smashes Pikachu onto the ground and causes him to lie flat on its belly. Dazed, Pikachu gets up, and Ash tells him to use Volt Tackle. Responding to his trainer, he gets up, charges itself with electricity and attempts to tackle Janovy. However, just as Pikachu was about to hit, Janovy side-steps and damages Pikachu with a Cut attack, causing him to fall onto his side and faint. Don George declares Pikachu unable to battle.

As Shooti remarks that he has four Pokémon as compared to Ash's two, Ash sends out his {{AP|Tsutarja}}. Iris then wonders why Ash does not send out {{AP|Mamepato}}, which is a {{type|flying}} and would be an advantage against {{type|grass}}s, while Dent reassures her that Ash has plans of his own.

Tsutarja starts the round by using {{m|Vine Whip}}, but Janovy dodges them completely. She then attempts to use {{m|Leaf Blade}}, but miss, and Janovy follows up with a Grass Mixer. The tornado, like it did on Pikachu, draws her into the vortex then slams her onto the ground. Being a {{type|grass}}, the attack did not to seem to damage Tsutarja much; she was back on her feet almost immediately. Shooti taunts Ash that his Janovy is an evolved form of Tsutarja. Ash, however, did not take the bait; he seemed like he had a plan. First, he asked Tsutarja to use Vine Whip, and Janovy, once again, dodges it easily like it had before. Next, while Janovy is distracted by her Vine Whip, Ash asked her to use {{m|Attract}}, and the tables were eventually turned. Janovy was male and became infatuated with Tsutarja, and he thus became unable to attack. Eventually with a series of Vine Whips and a well aimed Leaf Blade, Janovy succumbed to Tsutarja's attacks and fainted, leaving Shooti with three Pokémon.

As Ash celebrates, Pikachu jumps with joy and Tsutarja gives a wide smile. Shooti recalls Janovy and while admitting he did not expect the move Attract, Ash recalls his Tsutarja. For the next round, Shooti sent out his third Pokémon: a {{TP|Shooti|Pururiru}}. Ash checks his Pokédex, then sends out Mamepato.

Mamepato begins by using {{m|Air Cutter}}, but was blocked by Pururiru's {{m|Protect}}. Shooti tells Pururiru to use {{m|Water Pulse}}, and the Floating Pokémon shot a ball of water at Mamepato, causing her to be trapped in the sphere. As the Baby Pigeon Pokémon struggled to breathe, the sphere of water suddenly exploded, sending her flying towards a window, and causing her to faint. Don George then declares Mamepato unable to battle. Ash is now left with Tsutarja.

As Ash sends out Tsutarja and tells her to use Vine Whip, Dent gasps loudly and Iris shouts out immediately in protest. Ash was elated that he managed to hit Pururiru, but he became shocked the moment he saw Tsutarja: she seemed to have taken a curse of some sort and was emitting a dark bluish-purple aura. Shooti then talks about Pururiru's {{a|Cursed Body}} ability, and was further explained by Iris who lambasted him for being ignorant and acting like a small child.

Tsutarja attacks again with {{m|Leaf Storm}}, but Pururiru blocks it with Protect, followed by a {{m|Night Shade}}: the partial {{t|Ghost}} Pokémon glows purple for a moment, and blasts purple waves at Tsutarja, causing it to lose balance and fall to the ground on its knees. As Pururiru celebrates its achievement, Tsutarja uses Leaf Storm and catches Pururiru by surprise. Immediately, Tsutarja attempts to use Attract, but fails as Pururiru evades it, jumping away at the time when the Attract is supposed to hit its target. 

Seemingly irritated, Ash asks Tsutarja to use Leaf Blade on Pururiru, which surprises Dent and Iris even further. Had he not learnt about the opponent's ability when Tsutarja used Vine Whip? True enough, it seemed as if Pururiru allowed Tsutarja to attack it with Leaf Blade: Pururiru now reactivated its Cursed Body and Tsutarja is afflicted by its curse. Shooti commands Pururiru to use Water Pulse again: Pururiru creates a ball of water to form and shoots it at Tsutarja who became trapped inside. As the globe of water exploded, Tsutarja was flung out onto the field, {{status|confusion|confused}}.

Shooti now takes advantage of the situation, telling Pururiru to use {{m|Evil Eye}}. As Tsutarja was already {{status|confusion|confused}}, the attack did more damage. Tsutarja's eyes glowed eerily before she could not take it anymore, and fainted. Don George then declared Tsutarja unable to battle, and subsequently Shooti the winner of the match. Ash recalled Tsutarja.

At the end of the battle, Shooti taunts Ash about the trainer he still is when his Pikachu battled his Tsutarja, and takes his leave. Right before the door closes, Ash challenges him to another battle in the future, but he was not interested, stating that he will not battle a trainer that does not know his basics. As the door closes, Iris and Dent offer to help Ash with his training to which he agrees, determined to surpass Shooti and to become the best trainer that ever lived.

'''Paul's Drapion''' (Japanese: '''シンジのドラピオン''' ''Shinji's Dorapion'') is a Pokémon owned by [[Paul]].

==History==
Paul's Drapion's first appearance was during the [[Lily of the Valley Conference]]. It was Paul's third Pokémon during his battle with {{Ash}} where it managed to defeat three of Ash's Pokémon. It first battled [[Ash's Buizel]]. Drapion first launched a {{m|Pin Missile}} which Buizel countered with his [[Counter Shield]]. Buizel used {{m|SonicBoom}}, which Drapion blocked and grabbed Buizel with its tail. Then, the episode ends with a conclusion.

In [[DP187]], the battle between Drapion and Buizel continued. After a while, Buizel managed to escape by inflating his floation sac. Drapion used {{m|Toxic Spikes}} on the field which {{status|poisoned}} Buizel. Drapion finished him off with Pin Missile.

Drapion next battled [[Ash's Staraptor]]. Drapion started it again with a Pin Missile but it was dodged by Staraptor. Staraptor used {{m|Aerial Ace}} which Drapion dodged and caught Staraptor like what it did with Buizel. Drapion then used {{m|Cross Poison}}, throwing Staraptor to the ground poisoning it with {{m|Toxic Spikes}} and eventually knocking it out.

Ash then sent out {{AP|Torterra}}, who feels the effect of Toxic Spikes. Drapion used Cross Poison which Torterra countered with {{m|Energy Ball}}, which hit Drapion. Torterra used then {{m|Leaf Storm}} which hits Drapion again. Drapion grabbed Torterra as it was about to use {{m|Rock Climb}} and uses Poison Fang on it. Torterra tried to recover with its {{m|Synthesis}} but was knocked out after being hit by Pin Missile. Drapion was then recalled after Ash confirmed his last Pokémon.

Later, Drapion was used to battle [[Ash's Gliscor]]. Drapion started things off with a Pin Missile which is dodged by Gliscor. As Drapion was about to use {{m|Poison Fang}}, Gliscor managed to hit it with a {{m|Giga Impact}} and making distance by using its spinning technique. Drapion then used Pin Missile, but {{p|Gliscor}} dodges it. Gliscor then used {{m|X-Scissor}} with the battle ending its second segment.

In [[DP188]], the battles continues with Drapion hitting Gliscor with Pin Missile which sends it flying back. In the end, it was knocked out after being {{status|burned}} from Gliscor's {{m|Fire Fang}}.

Magic Guard (Ability)

2010-11-14T03:15:13Z

Dragonick: /* Generation IV */

{{AbilityInfobox
|name=Magic Guard

'''Magic Guard''' (Japanese: '''マジックガード''' ''Magic Guard'') is an [[ability]] introduced in [[Generation IV]]. Ten [[Pokémon]] can have this ability.

==Effect==
===In battle===
====Generation IV====
Magic Guard prevents indirect damage, such as from {{m|Hail}}, {{m|Toxic}}, {{m|Curse}}, or {{m|Leech Seed}}. It does not prevent status problems, but rather protects from damaging effects. Damage caused upon being switched in, such as {{m|Stealth Rock}}, and [[Recoil]] is prevented except from using {{m|Struggle}}. If a Pokémon with Magic Guard causes a Pokémon that used [[Destiny Bond]] to fate, the Pokémon with Magic Guard will also faint. Magic Guard will also cancel out {{DL|In-battle effect item|Life Orb}}'s HP deduction without negating its power boost. Additional effects such as trapping from moves like {{m|Fire Spin}} and {{stat|Attack}} reduction from a {{status|burn}} are not prevented. If paralyzed, a Pokémon with Magic Guard will suffer from the normal Speed reduction and in [[Generation V]], can be fully paralyzed.

====Generation V====
Magic Guard no longer grants immunity to being fully paralyzed.

===Outside of battle===
Magic Guard has no effect outside of battle.

Effort values

2010-11-06T03:33:43Z

Dragonick: /* Intro */

'''Effort values''' (abbreviated '''EVs''' and previously called '''Stat Exp''') are attributes which give bonuses to a Pokémon's stats and improve differently depending which Pokémon they defeat. These bonuses, in the form of effort points, are gained in addition to bonuses gained by increasing level. A Pokémon which increases in level using a [[Rare Candy]] instead of battling does not gain any EVs, making it weaker than a Pokémon who increases in level normally.

Roughly speaking, defeating fast Pokémon increases Speed better than fighting slow Pokémon, defeating Pokémon with high hit points improves HP more than defeating Pokémon with low HP, and so on. For example, fighting 100 [[Machop]] will improve a Pokémon's attack stat more than fighting 100 [[Abra]] of the same level, whereas the Abra will improve the Special Attack stat more. In [[Generation I]] and [[Generation II]] effort points given are equal to the Pokémon's [[base stats]]. For a list of the effort points that Pokémon give away on their defeat in [[Generation III]] and [[Generation IV]], see [[list of Pokémon by effort value yield]].

Gaining effort points to increase desired EVs varies from being simple to complicated, depending on whether one wants their Pokémon to fully max out its stats or raise them to balanced heights.

Effort values only appear in the [[version|main series]] Pokémon games, and are not present in the spin-off games, such as the {{pkmn|Mystery Dungeon}} series.

==Generation I==
The EV system was introduced in [[Generation I]], where it was also called '''Stat Experience''' or '''Stat Exp'''.

The [[Pokémon data structure in the GB|Pokémon data structure]] contains two EV bytes for each the five stats (HP, Attack, Defense, Speed and Special), starting at zero when caught and with a maximum EV of 65535 for each stat. When a Pokémon is defeated, its [[base stats]] are converted to effort points and then added to the EVs. For example, defeating a {{p|Mew}} grants 100 effort points to each EV. (Defeating 656 {{p|Mew}}, therefore, will give a Pokémon maximum EVs in each stat.)

EVs are factored into the Pokémon's stats when it levels up. Additionally, EVs are calculated into stats when a Pokémon is taken from Bill's PC; this is called the [[box trick]]. A Pokémon which reaches level 100 can continue to accrue EVs up to the maximum of 65535 in each stat, and use the [[box trick]] to have those EVs factored in.

[[Vitamins]] add 2560 to one stat's EV, but cannot raise a stat above 25600. Unlike the {{DL|Experience-affecting item|Exp. Share}} in later games, the {{DL|Experience-affecting item|Exp. All}} did not share EVs.

At level 100, the formula for determining the stat difference between a Pokémon trained in that stat and an untrained Pokémon is [[Image:EV Formula GenI.png|114px]].

==Generation II==
EVs behave the same in [[Generation II]] as they did in [[Generation I]]. Both Special Attack and Special Defense share the EV for Special. The [[box trick]] can still be used.

[[Generation II]] introduced the [[Pokérus]], a rare [[status condition]] which doubles the effort points gained in battle.

==Generation III==
[[Generation III]] completely overhauls the effort value structure. Effort points are now separate values from the base stats. Defeated Pokémon give out 1, 2 or 3 '''effort points''' to a particular stat, depending on species (see [[list of Pokémon by effort value yield]]). However, in battles that do not give any experience (such as in the [[Battle Tower]] or if the Pokémon is level 100), Pokémon will not gain any effort points. At level 100, a Pokémon's stats will be one stat point higher in a specific stat for every four effort points gained in that stat.

Pokémon are limited to a total of 255 effort points per stat, and 510 effort points in total. However, at level 100, since a stat increases by 1 point for every 4 effort points, only 252 effort points are required to maximize a stat.

[[Vitamin]]s add 10 effort points, but cannot raise a stat above 100, or raise the total above 510. A new vitamin, {{DL|Vitamin|Zinc}}, enhances Special Defense.

If a Pokémon holds an [[Exp. Share]], it will receive effort points even if the battling Pokémon has maxed out its effort points. If the Pokémon with the Exp. Share has Pokérus, the amount of effort points received is doubled.

A new held item, the {{DL|EV-enhancing item|Macho Brace}}, doubles the effort points gained in battle. In combination with the [[Pokérus]], a Pokémon can gain four times the normal effort points. However, the effects of the item do not transfer to a Pokémon holding an Exp. Share.

In {{game|Emerald}}, certain [[Berry|Berries]] that were previously only used to make [[Pokéblock]]s can decrease certain effort values by 10 effort points (or to 100 if more than 110), while increasing the [[happiness]] of the Pokémon they were used on.

==Generation IV==
[[Generation IV]]'s EV system remains unchanged from [[Generation III]].

A new series of items exist which give an additional four effort points per Pokémon defeated. Each applies the bonus to a different stat, in addition to the normal effort points gained. The bonus effort points are also doubled by the [[Pokérus]]. The effects of these items do not transfer over to a Pokémon holding an Exp. Share.

If a Pokémon has [[form differences|alternate forms]] that change its [[stats]] (e.g. {{p|Giratina}}), any effort points acquired will be applied to its stats when the form is changed, allowing the player to boost their Pokémon's stats without having to level it up.

'''Faint Attack''' (Japanese: '''だましうち''' ''Sneak Attack'') is a damage-dealing {{type2|Dark}} [[move]] introduced in [[Generation II]]. The Japanese name and animated depictions suggest the English name is a misspelled reference to the fencing term "feint".

==Effect==
Faint Attack inflicts damage, and is unaffected by modifications to the {{stat|Accuracy}} stat or {{stat|Evasion}} stat. It will not hit a Pokémon during the semi-invulnerable turn of moves such as {{m|Dig}}, {{m|Fly}} and {{m|Dive}}.

==Synopsis==
{{Synopsis cleanup}}
As the [[Sinnoh League]] is about to begin, {{Ash}} finds that his first opponent is [[Nando]], the Pokémon minstrel. Nando walks over to Ash and tells him to do his best in their match. Outside the stadium, the gang sits together, deciding which Pokémon for Ash to use in his match with Nando. Dawn tells Ash that Nando's Lopunny knows some dodging moves from what happened in the [[Sinnoh Grand Festival]].

Just then, [[Paul]] walks past them. Dawn calls him, and he turns around. Paul tells the gang that he will be using his strongest Pokémon. Ash tells him that Paul must do his best and that he wants to battle Paul later on in the tournament. But Paul says that Ash will be defeated before he battles him. Ash gets angry at what Paul said.

Inside a room, a lady  tells everybody on where they will be sitting. [[Jessie]] gets angry as their seats will be isolated from the other audiences. [[James]] and {{TR|Meowth}} tells Jessie that it's alright. {{TP|Jessie|Wobbuffet}} pops out of its [[Poké Ball]] as usual.

Late at night, Ash ponders on what Paul said, also reminding him of his battle with Nando. Ash becomes frustrated and shouts and scratches his head. The others wake up and ask him what is wrong. Ash replies that it's nothing and goes out of the room, to the balcony. {{AP|Pikachu}} follows him. Ash tells Pikachu that it is a beautiful night sky. And Pikachu agrees with him and nods its head. Ash looks at the eight shining stars in the sky, and remembers the badges he has. Ash talks about his Pokémon working very hard, while the battle with the eight [[Gym Leader#Sinnoh League|Gym Leaders]] are shown.

The next morning, after spending a while in the [[Pokémon Center]], he walks out. Dawn asks him what he plans to use against Nando. Ash says that he has it all under control. {{an|Barry}} runs, while saying something, and bumps in to Ash. After getting up, Barry says that he will defeat Ash, but Ash disagrees. Barry shouts that he will be the champion. Then, he remembers that he needs to go somewhere and runs off. [[Conway]] suddenly appears out of nowhere, and Dawn is shocked. Dawns tells him to stay away and Conway laughs creepily.

Outside the stadium, [[Team Rocket]] are selling their merchandise in the distance away from the other stalls. But not a single person goes there. Jessie screams loudly and sends out {{TP|Jessie|Seviper}}, but James and Meowth discourage her. Then, Meowth thinks of a great idea.

Inside the stadium, Barry had just defeated a trainer, and will be moving on to the next battle. He passes by a man and feels a sort of frightening feeling.

Ash's battle against Nando is about to begin. The gang cheered them on. And then, the battle begins. Nando sends out {{TP|Nando|Roserade}} as his first Pokémon and Ash sends out his {{AP|Staraptor}}, which is a type advantage over Roserade, a {{type|Grass}} Pokémon. Nando takes the initiative, and tells Roserade to use {{m|Sweet Scent}}, which Staraptor fails to dodge. Then, Roserade uses {{m|Magical Leaf}}, hitting Staraptor once again. Staraptor falls, and Nando tells Roserade to use {{m|SolarBeam}}. As Roserade is preparing to launch its SolarBeam, Ash begs Staraptor to stand up and dodge. Roserade launches its SolarBeam, but at the last second, Staraptor opens its eyes, and an explosion occurs. Staraptor flies out of the smoke, which astonishes both Nando and Roserade. Ash tells Staraptor to use {{m|Brave Bird}}, and hits Roserade, which knocks Roserade out, but Staraptor is affected by the recoil damage. Nando recalls Roserade and sends out {{p|Armaldo}}. Dawn checks it with her [[Pokédex]]. Ash realizes that Staraptor is worn out, so he tells it to use {{m|Close Combat}}, but Armaldo suddenly uses {{m|Protect}}, causing Staraptor to fall back. Then, Armaldo chains with {{m|Rock Blast}}, knocking out Staraptor.

With Dawn and Brock discussing Ash's situation, Barry runs down the stairs and stands in front of Brock and Dawn, and tells them that an [[Takuto|unknown Trainer]] has entered the competition with a powerful {{p|Darkrai}}, But Dawn doesn't listen to what Barry says and continues cheering for Ash. Barry get angry but he then realises that Ash is battling. Barry sits down. Ash sends out {{AP|Quilava}} and tells it to do its best. Meanwhile, outside the stadium, Team Rocket is busy with their business.

Quilava is then shown to be knocked away, and both Armaldo and Quilava are running out of gas. Nando tells Armaldo to use {{m|X-Scissor}}, while Ash tells Quilava to use {{m|Aerial Ace}}, with both attacks colliding. Armaldo is down, but with the strong impact of the X-Scissor, Quilava is knocked out too, which results in a draw.

Back with Dawn and co., Conway appears in a creepy way again, scaring Dawn and Barry. Conway introduces himself to Barry. Nando sends out his last Pokémon, {{p|Kricketune}}, and Ash sends out his {{AP|Heracross}}. Ash tells Heracross to use {{m|Megahorn}}, and Kricketune counters with {{m|Silver Wind}}, the impact sends Heracross flying. Nando tells Kricketune to use {{m|Sing}}, and Heracross falls asleep, falling to the ground. Then, Kricketune uses {{m|Fury Cutter}}, and Ash tells Heracross to use {{m|Sleep Talk}}. Heracross dodges the Fury Cutter, and uses {{m|Focus Punch}} to send Kricketune flying. Heracross wakes up and Ash tells it to use Focus Punch, and Nando tells Kricketune to dodge. Ash tells Heracross to use Focus Punch continously and Kricketune counters it with Fury Cutter. The two continues to use their attacks. Paul is watching the battle in another room. A strong impact sends both Pokémon flying. Nando then tells Kricketune to use Sing. Just as it is about to use Sing, Ash tells Heracross to use Megahorn in the ground. The Megahorn hits the ground and it stamps its feet, using {{m|Horn Attack}} to send Kricketune flying. With the strong power, Kricketune is knocked out, thus making Ash the winner. Heracross flies over to Ash and the gang cheers him on. Conway laughs and disappears once again, creeping out Dawn.

Outside the stadium, Team Rocket are having lots of customers buying their merchandises. Nando thanks Ash for the great battle and then leaves. Then, Paul is shown winning his
battle. Brock tells Ash about the Trainer with the Darkrai. Ash is surprised at first, but becomes excited about battling a strong foe. The episode ended with Ash and the gang, Paul, Barry, Conway and the mysterious trainer with the Darkrai.

'''Metagross''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''メタグロス''' ''Metagross'') is a dual-type {{2t|Steel|Psychic}} [[pseudo-legendary]] Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Metang}} starting at [[level]] 45. It is the final form of {{p|Beldum}}.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Metagross has the appearance of a tremendous, quadrupedal tank-like Pokémon. Its turquoise-colored, discus-shaped main body appears to be its head, as it lies at the center point where its legs branch out to give the impression of a mechanized arachnid. Each leg could be viewed as the body of a former {{p|Beldum}}, and its head/body as the four collective heads of Beldum used to fuse into it. Metagross has a metallic cross adorning its face diagonally between its two red eyes, often viewed as the letter "X" by onlookers, and this cross-shape is arranged to resemble both metallic "eyebrows" and a metallic "mustache." This is said to represent Metagross's wise, computative nature.

In the same way that its pre-evolved form {{p|Metang}} is comprised by two {{p|Beldum}}, a still more basic evolution stage, so is Metagross formed by the joining of two Metang. This essentially means that four Beldum make up a Metagross (this could be compared to {{p|Magneton}} or {{p|Magnezone}}, both of which are comprised of 3 {{p|Magnemite}}). However, four Beldum come nowhere near to the size of a Metagross.

====Gender differences====
Metagross is a genderless species.

====Special abilities====
Metagross's intelligence is extraordinarily high: not only does it have four brains (one from each Beldum) but they are also connected by a highly complex neural network. Its developed cerebral powers are said to surpass even those of a supercomputer, similar to {{p|Alakazam}}. As a {{type2|Psychic}} Pokémon, it can also use psychic abilities, including the ability to render its massive body airborne by telekinesis once it draws its legs together. Metagross's movepool isn't that much different than than its predecessor, Metang. The only two moves that Metagross can learn that Metang lacks are {{m|Hammer Arm}} and {{m|Giga Impact}}.

===Behavior===
Possessing four brains, Metagross is an extremely wise Pokémon with unmatched intelligence. However, it is known to be a vicious predator-using its weight, it traps its prey under its body and devours them. Some are very aggressive and territorial of their homes and will not hesitate to attack intruders that trespass uninvited.

===Habitat===
[[File:Roughterrain.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Rough-terrain Pokémon}}]]
This Pokémon lives in mountainous areas along with its evolutionary lines, but are even rarer than their pre-evolutions. It can easily live comfortably on very steep slopes by planting its legs into rock or ground.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}
Metagross is a brutal predator. When hunting, it pins its prey to the ground under its massive body. It then eats the helpless victim using its large mouth on its stomach.

==In the anime==
[[File:MetagrossAnime.png|thumb|right|250px|Metagross in the anime]]
===Major appearances===
Metagross was first seen in ''[[M07|Destiny Deoxys]]'' under the ownership of {{mo|Rebecca}}.

{{FB|Salon Maiden|Anabel}}'s Metagross was seen in ''[[AG169|Talking a Good Game]]'' and ''[[AG170|Second Time's the Charm]]''.

A wild {{shiny}} Metagross appeared in ''[[DP117|Noodles: Roamin' Off]]'' where it attacked [[Team Rocket]]. It [[Anime move errors|somehow knew]] how to {{m|Lock-On}} to its target, despite the species being incapable of knowing this move.

A wild Metagross appeared in ''[[DP158|Regaining the Home Advantage!]]'', where it battled non-stop with a {{p|Magnezone}}. These two Pokémon normally battled with each other on a regular basis until their "battle arena" (a deep crater) became filled with water. Because their crater was no longer usable, they took their battle to the streets of a nearby town, and continued fighting, causing much collateral damage.

===Minor appearances===
Metagross's anime debut was in ''[[AG125|Like a Meowth to a Flame]]'' as one of {{ho|Tyson}}'s Pokémon.

A Metagross also appeared in ''[[DP051|Glory Blaze!]]'' belonging to a {{OBP|Psychic|Trainer class}}.

==In the manga==
[[Steven Stone]] in [[Pokémon Adventures]] owns a Metagross. It's his flight Pokémon, carrying him from place to place with its levitation abilities. He also owns a {{p|Metang}} and many {{p|Beldum}}, which, along with his Metagross, help dig out and find rare stones in caves.

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

==Other appearances==
===[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]===
[[File:SSBB Metagross.png|220px|right|thumb|Metagross in Super Smash Bros Brawl]]
Upon its release from its [[Poké Ball]], it will stay in one place and repeatedly use {{m|Earthquake}}. Anyone caught underneath the Pokémon will be buried into the ground and thus unable to move for a few moments.

Metagross was featured as one of the Pokémon released from a Poké Ball in the demo of [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]] at Jumpfesta, however, it hovered above the stage before attacking, unlike in the actual game.

==Trivia==
* Metagross is the only non-legendary Pokémon whose first evolutionary stage ({{p|Beldum}}) isn't available before defeating the Champion, in {{3v2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}.
* Metagross's number in the [[List of Pokémon by Hoenn Pokédex number|Hoenn Pokédex]] and the [[List of Pokémon by Fiore Browser number|Fiore Browser]] is the same: 192. This makes it one of thirteen Pokémon (only five evolution families) to have the same numbers in more than one [[Pokédex]]-like listing.
* Metagross has the highest {{stat|Attack}} stat of any Steel-type and the third highest of any Psychic-type Pokémon after the Attack and Normal forms of {{p|Deoxys}} (i.e. highest Attack of all non-legendary {{type2|Psychic}}).
* Metagross and its evolutionary relatives are the only non-[[legendary Pokémon]] with a [[catch rate]] of 3.
* Metagross is the heaviest non-legendary Pokémon.

===Origin===
Metagross is similar to a {{wp|crab}}. It appears to also be based on a {{wp|super computer}}, given its mechanical stature and sheer intelligence.

====Name origin====
Its name may be a combination of ''metal'' and ''cross'', referring to the mark on its face. It may also be derived from the words ''metal'' and ''[[wp:gross (unit)|gross]]'', referring to its weight (1212 pounds), or the same German word that means ''big''.

==In other languages==
*[[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Metagross
*[[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Metalosse
*[[List of Korean Pokémon names|Korean]]: 메타그로스 ''Metagross''
*[[List of Chinese Pokémon names|Chinese (Taiwan)]]: 巨金怪 ''Jù Jīn Guài'' - Literally "Giant metal monster".

'''Dodrio''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ドードリオ''' ''Dodorio'') is a dual-type {{2t|Normal|Flying}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Doduo}} starting at [[level]] 31.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Dodrio are bird-like Pokémon with three heads, and a ‘V’-shaped black crest on each one. They have very small wings hidden under the fluffy brown feathers that cover their black underside. Because their wings are so small, they have little flying ability, but can jump incredibly high. Dodrio's long legs allow it to deal {{m|Mega Kick|devastating kicks}}, but only frontward. However, to protect its back, one of the necks can turn around and fiercely {{m|peck}} the opponent with its long, thin beak. Dodrio also have three pink tail feathers.

====Gender differences====
A female Dodrio has brown necks, while a male has black ones.

===Special abilities===
Dodrio have long legs which allow it to jump incredibly high, which makes up for its lack of flight. These legs also allow it to run incredibly fast and for long distances without rest, as well as to deal massively powerful kicks to its opponents. Another feature that contributes to its running ability are its three sets of hearts and lungs, which enable it to run long distances without rest. It can deliver devastating blows with its sharp beaks.

===Behavior===

Dodrio love to {{a|Early Bird|wake up early}} and call their cries every morning, and also love to run. They are usually very crotchety, arguing with themselves on a constant basis. However, if one if them gets to eat, the others will be satisfied, too, and stop squabbling. A Dodrio is especially wary if all three of its heads are looking in different directions.

===Habitat===
[[File:Grassland.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Grassland Pokémon}}]]
Dodrio can be found living in deserts and plains. Wild ones can be found in [[Kanto]] and [[Hoenn]].

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

==In the anime==
[[File:Riding Dodrio.png|right|240px|thumb|Dodrio in the anime]]
===Major appearances===
Dodrio first appeared in ''[[EP001|Pokémon - I Choose You!]]'', where it has a brief appearance, while shouting its cry to the rising sun like a rooster, notably as the first Pokémon seen in real life in the anime (all Pokémon that had appeared beforehand in the episode were either on TV, in dreams, or not real).

Its first major appearance was in ''[[EP033|The Flame Pokémon-athon!]]''. [[Dario]] used the three-headed bird to compete in a race, but was beaten by {{Ash}} who was riding [[Lara Laramie]]'s {{p|Ponyta}}, after it evolved into {{p|Rapidash}}.

[[Falkner]], the [[Gym Leader]] of [[Violet City]], used a Dodrio to {{pkmn|battle}} Ash in ''[[EP131|Fighting Flyer with Fire]]''.

Dodrio served as mounts for the Diglett thieves in the episode ''[[EP218|Plant It Now...Diglett Later!]]''.

[[Gary Oak]]'s Doduo evolved into a Dodrio some time before ''[[SS015|Putting the Air Back in Aerodactyl]]''. Gary used it to attack [[Team Rocket]]'s helicopter when they made a second attempt to capture {{p|Aerodactyl}}.

A group of female Dodrio were used in ''[[DP072|Pokémon Ranger and the Kidnapped Riolu! Part Two]]'' by {{Ash}}, [[Kellyn]], {{an|Dawn}} and {{an|Brock}} to get to the {{p|Riolu}} that [[J]] had kidnapped.

===Minor appearances===
Dodrio also made a cameo in ''[[EP047|A Chansey Operation]]''. This Dodrio had its necks tied in a knot.

A Dodrio appeared in ''[[DP088|Camping It Up!]]''.

{{an|Dawn}} used a Dodrio in the first leg of the Pokémon Triathlon in ''[[DP091|One Team, Two Team, Red Team, Blue Team]]''.

[[Candice]] used a Dodrio in ''[[DP128|A Pyramiding Rage!]]''.

A group of Dodrio also appeared in ''[[DP140|Historical Mystery Tour!]]''.

===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
{{adv|Yellow}}'s Doduo evolved into Dodrio in {{PAV|7}}. It was seen again in {{PAV|12}}, managing to save [[Pika]] and [[Chuchu]] from a {{m|surf}}ing accident.

==Trivia==
* While one of its heads is saying something in [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon]], the others say ''me too'' or ''mine too'', but its pre-evolved form's other head won't.
* Before [[Generation IV]], the normal necks of Dodrio is the color of the female's (brown), while its pre-evolution's is based on the male's (black).
* Dodrio ties with {{p|Snorlax}} for the highest base {{stat|Attack}} stat of any [[Generation I]] {{type2|Normal}}, at 110.

* It is stated in the Pokédex that {{p|Doduo}} can run at 60 mph, while Dodrio's states it can only run at nearly 40 mph. However, its base Speed stat is higher than Doduo's.

===Origin===
Despite its name, Dodrio seems like it has more in common with {{wp|ostrich}}es than {{wp|dodo}}s. It also seems to show some similarity to the {{wp|Moa}}, an extinct flightless bird, and the {{wp|Emu}}, another flightless bird. It also resembles the {{wp|Kiwi}} in some ways as well. Its crests may mean it may have been based off of {{wp|cassowary|cassowaries}}.

====Name origin====
Dodrio's name seems to be a combination of ''{{wp|dodo}}'', an extinct, flightless bird, and ''trio'', meaning a group of three. The ''dori'' in its Japanese name may come from 鳥 ''tori'', bird, or it may be a combination of ドードー ''dodo'' and トリオ ''trio'' because of its three heads.

Size discrepancies in the animated series

2010-10-30T04:52:07Z

Dragonick: /* Magmortar */

Aside from [[giant Pokémon]], many {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} in the [[Pokémon anime]] suffer from large '''size discrepancies''' between the information given in the [[Pokémon games]]' [[Pokédex]] and their actual animated presentation. These Pokémon are apparently "normal sized" as far as the anime's universe is concerned.

This may be a style or aesthetic decision, a case of the writers not checking the information in detail, or for story purposes.

Some of the most notable size discrepancies will be noted below.

==Articuno==
{{p|Articuno}} are about 5'07" (1.70m), although in ''[[AG135|The Symbol Life]]'' it appears to be closer to 6'07" (2m).

==Bulbasaur==
{{p|Bulbasaur}} are about 2'04" (70cm), similar in height to {{p|Buizel}}. In anime episodes, it appears closer to 1'04" (40cm), though this may be due to its Pokédex height being measured from head to tail.

==Blastoise==
{{p|Blastoise}} are normally 5'03" (1.60m) tall, while in the anime they appear closer to 6'03" (1.90m) tall.

==Charizard==
{{p|Charizard}} are usually 5'7" (1.75m) tall, but [[Ash's Charizard]] is taller than that, at about 7'00 (2.10m) tall. Oddly enough, it is shown in ''[[EP134|Charizard's Burning Ambition]]'' that Ash's Charizard is rather small when compared with the Charizard living in [[Charicific Valley]].

==Croagunk==
{{p|Croagunk}} are generally 2'04" (70cm) in height, with an anime height closer to 1'04" (40cm).

==Drapion==
[[Drapion]] are generally 4'03" in height, but in the anime they are about twice that height.

==Dunsparce==
{{p|Dunsparce}} are normally 4'11" (1.49m) in height, approximately the height of {{Ash}}. In ''[[DP001|Following a Maiden's Voyage!]]'', they appear to be shorter than a {{p|Pidgey}}.

==Electivire==
[[Electivire]] are normally 5' 11", but in the anime they are closer to 6' 11".

==Electrode==
{{p|Electrode}} are normally 3'11" (1.20m), but in ''[[AG041|What You Seed is What You Get!]]'' it is seen to be the same height as {{p|Slugma}}, 2'04" (70cm).

==Floatzel==
{{p|Floatzel}} are generally 3'07" (1.10m) in height, but in ''[[DP083|A Crasher Course in Power!]]'', when Crasher Wake's was standing in front of [[Ash's Buizel]], it was shown to be about 4'03" (1.30m).

==Forretress==
{{p|Forretress}} are about 3'11" (1.20m), but in all of its appearances in the anime, it is shown to be 1'08" (50cm).

==Gabite==
{{p|Gabite}} are normally 4'07" (1.40m) in height, but [[Ursula]]'s Gabite from ''[[DP114|Another One Gabites the Dust!]]'' was at least a couple inches taller than Ash, Dawn, and Ursula, who are all about 5'0" (1.50m) tall.

==Gengar==
{{p|Gengar}} are shown to be 4'11" (1.50m), but in all of its appearances in the anime, it is shown to be 3'07" (1.10m).

==Golduck==
{{p|Golduck}} are about 5'07" (1.70m), although in ''[[DP007|Like It or Lup It!]]'' when it was standing near {{p|Ludicolo}}, it was shown to be about 3'03" (1m).

==Glalie==
{{p|Glalie}} are 4'11" (1.50m). [[Ash's Glalie]] is extremely small compared to others of its species, appearing to be closer to 2'00" (60cm).

==Grovyle and Combusken==
While normally {{p|Grovyle}} and {{p|Combusken}} are about 2'11" (90cm), [[Ash's Grovyle]] and [[May's Combusken]] appear to be much larger, being almost as tall as Ash and May. Assuming that {{Ash}} is about 5'0" (1.50m), that estimates Grovyle and Combusken to be around 4'0" (1.20m). The other Grovyle that have appeared were around this size as well.

==Hariyama==
{{p|Hariyama}} are 7'07" (2.30m). However, [[Brawly's Hariyama]] is extremely small for its species. In ''[[AG020|Brave The Wave!]]'', it appears to only be around 4'11" (1.50m).

==Lombre==
{{p|Lombre}} are shown to be 3'11" (1.20m). [[Brock's Lombre]] appears to be shorter than that height, and looking to be more around 2'07 (80cm).

==Magmortar==
[[Magmortar]] are normally 5' 03", but in the anime they are closer to 7' 00".

==Metagross==
{{p|Metagross}} are normally 5'03" (1.60m), but {{ho|Tyson}}'s seems shorter than this in ''[[AG130|Choose It or Lose It!]]'', at 2'11" (90cm). Another Metagross appeared in ''[[DP117|Noodles! Roamin' Off!]]'' and shown to be taller even than [[James]], about 6'03" (1.90m).

==Noctowl==
{{p|Noctowl}} are about 5'3" (1.60m), approaching average human height. [[Ash's Noctowl]], however, is extremely small for that size, looking to be more around 2'00 (60cm). Although it's been mentioned that Ash's Noctowl is unusually small, the other two Noctowl that have appeared in the anime don't seem to be more than 4'0" tall.

==Nosepass==
{{p|Nosepass}} are normally 3'3" (1m) in height. However, in the episode Nosepass debuted in, Nosepass is far bigger than it is supposed to be, at about 5'6" (1.70m) compared to the normal Nosepass.

==Pidgeotto==
{{p|Pidgeotto}} are normally 3'07" (1.10m), although during the series it appears to be only 2'04" (70cm).

==Rapidash==
{{p|Rapidash}} are normally 5'07" (1.70m). However, in Ash's flashback in ''[[DP138|Strategy Begins at Home!]]'', it was shown to be about 3'03" (1m) tall, about the size of a {{p|Ponyta}}.

==Roselia==
One of the more renowned changes in size is in {{p|Roselia}}, which are extremely small - only about a foot (30cm) tall. However, the {{TP|Drew|Roselia}} in the anime come up to a [[Drew|10-year old's]] waist. An estimate would put the anime incarnation of them at about 3' (90cm) tall. This caused much confusion when [[Pokémon Colosseum]] and [[Pokémon Adventures]] both featured the Pokémon at its actual smaller size.

==Seviper==
[[Jessie's Seviper]] appears to change sizes during the series, sometimes even in the same episode. For example, when it made its debut, it was shorter than [[Jessie]]. However, it has also been shown as being taller than her, which according to the Pokédex it should be.

==Smeargle==
{{p|Smeargle}} are about 3'11" (1.20m), although in ''[[EP197|Art of Pokémon]]'' it is shown to be 2'04" (70cm).

==Togekiss==
[[Dawn's Togekiss|Togekiss]], in its [[DP171|episode debut]], was shown to be slightly taller than Dawn. In all episodes since, it has been shown to approach close to her hip.

==Wailmer==
{{p|Wailmer}} are generally 6'07" (1.85m) in height, although the one in ''[[DP109|Leading a Stray!]]'' was shown to be more than twice the size of Ash, who is approximately 5'0" (1.50m) tall.

==Whismur==
{{p|Whismur}} are very small Pokémon at around 2'00" (60cm). In ''[[AG039|A Pokéblock Party!]]'', a Whismur was around the size of 1'00" (30cm), and was noticeably not much larger than [[Max]]'s head. A second Whismur appeared in ''[[AG188|Pinch Healing!]]'' and, while standing, came up to Max's neck.

{{p|Bulbasaur}} are about 2'04" (70cm), similar in height to {{p|Buizel}}. In anime episodes, it appears closer to 1'04" (40cm), though this may be due to its Pokédex height being measured from head to tail.

==Blastoise==
{{p|Blastoise}} are normally 5'03" (1.60m) tall, while in the anime they appear closer to 6'03" (1.90m) tall.

==Charizard==
{{p|Charizard}} are usually 5'7" (1.75m) tall, but [[Ash's Charizard]] is taller than that, at about 7'00 (2.10m) tall. Oddly enough, it is shown in ''[[EP134|Charizard's Burning Ambition]]'' that Ash's Charizard is rather small when compared with the Charizard living in [[Charicific Valley]].

==Croagunk==
{{p|Croagunk}} are generally 2'04" (70cm) in height, with an anime height closer to 1'04" (40cm).

==Drapion==
[[Drapion]] are generally 4'03" in height, but in the anime they are about twice that height.

==Dunsparce==
{{p|Dunsparce}} are normally 4'11" (1.49m) in height, approximately the height of {{Ash}}. In ''[[DP001|Following a Maiden's Voyage!]]'', they appear to be shorter than a {{p|Pidgey}}.

==Electrode==
{{p|Electrode}} are normally 3'11" (1.20m), but in ''[[AG041|What You Seed is What You Get!]]'' it is seen to be the same height as {{p|Slugma}}, 2'04" (70cm).

==Floatzel==
{{p|Floatzel}} are generally 3'07" (1.10m) in height, but in ''[[DP083|A Crasher Course in Power!]]'', when Crasher Wake's was standing in front of [[Ash's Buizel]], it was shown to be about 4'03" (1.30m).

==Forretress==
{{p|Forretress}} are about 3'11" (1.20m), but in all of its appearances in the anime, it is shown to be 1'08" (50cm).

==Gabite==
{{p|Gabite}} are normally 4'07" (1.40m) in height, but [[Ursula]]'s Gabite from ''[[DP114|Another One Gabites the Dust!]]'' was at least a couple inches taller than Ash, Dawn, and Ursula, who are all about 5'0" (1.50m) tall.

==Gengar==
{{p|Gengar}} are shown to be 4'11" (1.50m), but in all of its appearances in the anime, it is shown to be 3'07" (1.10m).

==Golduck==
{{p|Golduck}} are about 5'07" (1.70m), although in ''[[DP007|Like It or Lup It!]]'' when it was standing near {{p|Ludicolo}}, it was shown to be about 3'03" (1m).

==Glalie==
{{p|Glalie}} are 4'11" (1.50m). [[Ash's Glalie]] is extremely small compared to others of its species, appearing to be closer to 2'00" (60cm).

==Grovyle and Combusken==
While normally {{p|Grovyle}} and {{p|Combusken}} are about 2'11" (90cm), [[Ash's Grovyle]] and [[May's Combusken]] appear to be much larger, being almost as tall as Ash and May. Assuming that {{Ash}} is about 5'0" (1.50m), that estimates Grovyle and Combusken to be around 4'0" (1.20m). The other Grovyle that have appeared were around this size as well.

==Hariyama==
{{p|Hariyama}} are 7'07" (2.30m). However, [[Brawly's Hariyama]] is extremely small for its species. In ''[[AG020|Brave The Wave!]]'', it appears to only be around 4'11" (1.50m).

==Lombre==
{{p|Lombre}} are shown to be 3'11" (1.20m). [[Brock's Lombre]] appears to be shorter than that height, and looking to be more around 2'07 (80cm).

==Metagross==
{{p|Metagross}} are normally 5'03" (1.60m), but {{ho|Tyson}}'s seems shorter than this in ''[[AG130|Choose It or Lose It!]]'', at 2'11" (90cm). Another Metagross appeared in ''[[DP117|Noodles! Roamin' Off!]]'' and shown to be taller even than [[James]], about 6'03" (1.90m).

==Noctowl==
{{p|Noctowl}} are about 5'3" (1.60m), approaching average human height. [[Ash's Noctowl]], however, is extremely small for that size, looking to be more around 2'00 (60cm). Although it's been mentioned that Ash's Noctowl is unusually small, the other two Noctowl that have appeared in the anime don't seem to be more than 4'0" tall.

==Nosepass==
{{p|Nosepass}} are normally 3'3" (1m) in height. However, in the episode Nosepass debuted in, Nosepass is far bigger than it is supposed to be, at about 5'6" (1.70m) compared to the normal Nosepass.

==Pidgeotto==
{{p|Pidgeotto}} are normally 3'07" (1.10m), although during the series it appears to be only 2'04" (70cm).

==Rapidash==
{{p|Rapidash}} are normally 5'07" (1.70m). However, in Ash's flashback in ''[[DP138|Strategy Begins at Home!]]'', it was shown to be about 3'03" (1m) tall, about the size of a {{p|Ponyta}}.

==Roselia==
One of the more renowned changes in size is in {{p|Roselia}}, which are extremely small - only about a foot (30cm) tall. However, the {{TP|Drew|Roselia}} in the anime come up to a [[Drew|10-year old's]] waist. An estimate would put the anime incarnation of them at about 3' (90cm) tall. This caused much confusion when [[Pokémon Colosseum]] and [[Pokémon Adventures]] both featured the Pokémon at its actual smaller size.

==Seviper==
[[Jessie's Seviper]] appears to change sizes during the series, sometimes even in the same episode. For example, when it made its debut, it was shorter than [[Jessie]]. However, it has also been shown as being taller than her, which according to the Pokédex it should be.

==Smeargle==
{{p|Smeargle}} are about 3'11" (1.20m), although in ''[[EP197|Art of Pokémon]]'' it is shown to be 2'04" (70cm).

==Togekiss==
[[Dawn's Togekiss|Togekiss]], in its [[DP171|episode debut]], was shown to be slightly taller than Dawn. In all episodes since, it has been shown to approach close to her hip.

==Wailmer==
{{p|Wailmer}} are generally 6'07" (1.85m) in height, although the one in ''[[DP109|Leading a Stray!]]'' was shown to be more than twice the size of Ash, who is approximately 5'0" (1.50m) tall.

==Whismur==
{{p|Whismur}} are very small Pokémon at around 2'00" (60cm). In ''[[AG039|A Pokéblock Party!]]'', a Whismur was around the size of 1'00" (30cm), and was noticeably not much larger than [[Max]]'s head. A second Whismur appeared in ''[[AG188|Pinch Healing!]]'' and, while standing, came up to Max's neck.

Size discrepancies in the animated series

2010-10-28T22:48:43Z

Dragonick: /* Croagunk */

Aside from [[giant Pokémon]], many {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} in the [[Pokémon anime]] suffer from large '''size discrepancies''' between the information given in the [[Pokémon games]]' [[Pokédex]] and their actual animated presentation. These Pokémon are apparently "normal sized" as far as the anime's universe is concerned.

'''Paul''' (Japanese: '''シンジ''' ''Shinji'') is a [[rival]] of {{Ash}} in the {{pkmn|anime}}. He is from [[Veilstone City]] in [[Sinnoh]]. He was first seen at the end of ''[[DP002|Two Degrees of Separation]]'', though his full introduction was in ''[[DP003|When Pokémon Worlds Collide!]]''. He is {{Ash}}'s first and main {{series|Diamond & Pearl}} rival, though he ended his rivalry with him after his loss to him in [[DP188]].

==Personality, Training, and History==
{{spoiler}}
[[File:Ash and Paul.png|thumb|left|250px|Paul and Ash]]
Paul's only concern in his [[Pokémon]] is of their strength in {{pkmn|battle}}. He strongly dislikes weak Pokémon and has a habit of {{pkmn2|released|releasing}} them if they do not meet his high expectations. To this effect, Paul always checks new {{pkmn2|caught|captures}} with his [[Pokédex]] to learn what [[move]]s they know and {{pkmn|training|trains}} the Pokémon he keeps harshly to make them strong. He feels that [[Happiness|bonding]] with Pokémon would only turn them into slackers. He also has a habit of scolding his Pokémon for losing to opponents he feels they could have beaten, and this was a recurring trait when he owned {{AP|Chimchar}}. As a person, he is very callous and even at times brutal, especially in {{pkmn|battle}}; and as a result, he has been shown to have very little emotion other than an occasional rough smile.

Sometimes, he gives some of his Pokémon to his brother, [[Reggie]], for temporary training and caretaking, as revealed in ''[[DP066|Lost Leader Strategy!]]''. Paul also disagrees with his brother for giving up on being a [[Pokémon Trainer]] after failing to get the [[Symbol|Brave Symbol]]. He feels his brother's approach and view on this to be wrong. Reggie cares about his brother, but has no illusions about Paul's character. He openly admits that Paul has always had a cruel streak.

''[[DP128|A Pyramiding Rage!]]'' was an important episode that revealed much about Paul's motivation as a Pokémon trainer and more about his character. When Reggie was a roaming Pokémon trainer, he had lost to {{FB|Pyramid King|Brandon}}. Reggie's loss to Brandon is what caused Paul to be so adamant about strength in battle. This single loss is also what caused Paul to become the callous person he was, and that was because of how his brother handled the loss. Instead of bearing the shame of his loss to Brandon, Reggie moved on with his life and put the loss behind him. Paul found this to be unacceptable, and he became disappointed of his brother. He challenged Brandon to a [[full battle]] in hopes that he would be able to do what his brother never could. However, Paul lost to Brandon without being able to [[fainting|knock out]] any of Brandon's Pokémon. Brandon says that this loss was because Paul was unable to control his emotions.

At the beginning it was assumed that Paul was a trainer just starting out. However this was proven false in ''[[DP040|Top-Down Training]]'' where he revealed that he had already traveled through [[Kanto]], [[Johto]], and [[Hoenn]], participating in their respective {{pkmn|League}}s but didn't win anything before returning to [[Sinnoh]]. In ''[[DP128|A Pyramiding Rage!]]'', it was revealed that Kanto was the very first region he traveled through.

Paul feels that Ash is a weak trainer and can easily bring on Ash's anger by stating it. Ash's very different attitude towards being friends with Pokémon also provides much fuel to their rivalry. Out of all the rivals that Ash has, Paul seems to be the most harsh towards him and his Pokémon. Despite that, Paul barely recognizes their rivalry and Ash as a trainer and ignores Ash's speeches about loving his Pokémon. Ash on the other hand has a hatred of Paul that flares up at Paul's indifference to his Pokémon. However Ash accepts that Paul is a strong trainer but considers himself on the same par as him. Paul's only hint of respect for Ash was in ''[[DP128|A Pyramiding Rage!]]'' when he was very surprised to hear that Ash had beaten Brandon in a Pokémon battle before.

Although Paul finds most of {{cat|Ash's Pokémon}} weak, he has shown a particular interest in his {{AP|Pikachu}}, as shown in ''A Gruff Act To Follow'', after Pikachu used Thundershock on Roark's Cranidos. Paul is also angered by how Ash contradicts himself by criticizing Paul's {{pkmn|training}} methods and then uses similar ones, such as entering the [[Wallace Cup]], despite Ash's motivations being clearly different than Paul's.
[[File:Reggie and Paul.png|left|thumb|250px|Reggie and Paul]]
Paul appears to feel indifference to {{an|Dawn}}, showing that he didn't even know her name in ''[[DP016|A Gruff Act to Follow]]''. Paul shows mild respect as well as distaste towards {{an|Brock}}, probably because Brock supports Ash's view on Pokémon. Paul does show respect for his elders, such as [[Professor Rowan]], [[Cynthia]], [[Nurse Joy]] and {{FB|Pyramid King|Brandon}} .

Following Reggie's suggestion in ''[[DP128|A Pyramiding Rage!]]'', Paul battled {{Ash}} in a [[full battle]] in ''[[DP131|Pedal to the Mettle!]]'' and ''[[DP132|Evolving Strategies!]]''. Here, he shows his true colors in battle and, despite Ash's {{p|Chimchar}} evolving into {{AP|Monferno}} and three of Ash's Pokémon using the [[Counter Shield]] strategy, Paul won the match easily with only at a loss of two Pokémon overall, where {{p|Ursaring|one}} defeated half of Ash's team nearly single-handedly. He had his Pokémon use a broad variety of strategies, which he kept up his sleeve until this battle, such as tempting Ash to send his {{AP|Staraptor}} up against his {{p|Torterra}} so he could attack it with {{m|Stone Edge}}, {{p|Electabuzz}} using {{m|Light Screen}} to aid its comrades, using his Ursaring against [[Ash's Pikachu]] so as to activate its {{a|Guts}} ability, and his {{p|Magmortar}} using {{m|Rock Tomb}} to protect itself against Water-type attacks. As a result, his strategy of completely overwhelming and outsmarting Ash with his more powerful Pokémon team succeeded.

In ''[[DP155|Double-Time Battle Training!]]'', it was revealed that Paul had earned the {{Badge|Mine}} from [[Canalave Gym]] and, by doing so, had collected the eight badges he required to enter the [[Sinnoh League]].

Paul reappeared in ''[[DP163|Fighting Ire with Fire!]]'', encountering Ash for the first time since their full battle. He also met his admirer {{an|Barry}} for the first time; however, Paul wasn't impressed by him and refused his offer for a battle, suggesting he battle Ash instead. He later watched the battle between [[Ash's Monferno]] and [[Barry's Empoleon]] and when {{AP|Pikachu}}, {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}} and Empoleon were nearly crushed by one of [[Team Rocket]]'s damaged mechas, he saved the three with the help of [[Paul's Electivire|his Electabuzz]]. He then witnessed Monferno evolving into {{AP|Infernape}}, who then saved Electabuzz and the other Pokémon from getting crushed. Paul was impressed by Infernape, and gained a little respect for Ash at how well he had raised it. When asked by Ash if they could have another full battle, Paul confirmed they would in the [[Sinnoh League]], and that Reggie was looking forward to seeing it.

In [[DP182]], he was shown in the stadium along with all the other competitors. In [[DP183]], he passed the preliminary round. In [[DP184]], with his superior tactics and the superior power of his Pokémon, he defeated {{an|Barry}} in the third round. His next battle was against his rival Ash in [[DP186]], continuing into [[DP187]] and [[DP188]]. After a fierce battle, Paul was finally defeated, and he and Ash parted on good terms, Ash having earned Paul's respect. It also seems Paul may have decided to change somewhat, as when Electivire is defeated, he thanks it for a job well done, something that, up until that point, Paul never did, even if his Pokémon won. Afterwards, Paul states that his next intention is to return to [[Snowpoint City]] and re-challenge Brandon. He briefly appears in [[DP189]], seeing Ash lose to Takuto.

==Pokémon==
As a result of Paul's selective [[Party|team]] creation, his active team is composed of Pokémon that he deems to be powerful. While the captures of Ursaring and Gliscor were shown in ''[[DP006|Different Strokes for Different Blokes]]'' and ''[[DP064|Riding the Winds of Change!]]'' respectively, the rest were obtained off-screen.

This listing is of Paul's Pokémon as of the most recent Japanese episode and the ones used for the [[DP186|last]] [[DP187|full]] [[DP188|battle]] against Ash:

In ''[[DP052|Smells Like Team Spirit!]]'', Elekid evolved into Electabuzz during a tag battle where it was fighting alongside [[Ash's Infernape|Ash's Chimchar]]. It reappeared as an Electivire in [[DP184]], having evolved off screen at a prior point. It was used by Paul to battle {{an|Barry}} and {{Ash}} in his league matches.}}

===With Reggie===
In [[Veilstone City]], Reggie told Ash that Paul's "other Pokémon are here too" which may include his reserves. In ''[[DP051|Glory Blaze!]]'', Paul mentions that he wanted {{AP|Chimchar|Infernape}} to become the most powerful out of '''all''' his {{type2|Fire}} Pokémon. This could mean he has other {{type2|Fire}} Pokémon besides Magmortar.

==Trivia==
[[File:Early DP series art.png|Early artwork|thumb|right]]
*Paul was first revealed to the fandom through a [[CoroCoro]] scan that showed him alongside Ash and Dawn commanding a {{AP|Chimchar}}. However, his name and role was not revealed until the following week and so he received the fan name "Nugai" during that time.
[[Image:GameFreak Silver.png|thumb|Sketch of Silver]]
*Paul seems to have been heavily based in the game rival {{ga|Silver}}.
**Regarding personality, they both are rather cold towards not only the people around them, but also to their Pokémon. Both have been reprimanded by the [[Champion]] in their respective regions ([[Lance]] and [[Cynthia]]) for it, after challenging them and being quickly defeated.
**Paul has similar taste in Pokémon to the {{adv|Silver}} portrayed in Pokémon Adventures. Both have an {{p|Ursaring}}, a {{p|Honchkrow}} and a {{p|Weavile}}. Furthermore, when Silver had a cameo in the original Japanese opening of ''[[The Legend of Thunder!]]'', he was seen with a Nidoking, another Pokémon that Paul has.
**Another interesting similarity is that the pose used in Paul's stock art is the same as the pose in a picture of Silver drawn by [[Ken Sugimori]], right down to the angle and position of the hands and feet. Also, concept art of Paul has shown an early design where he had heavy pants and boots similar to Silver's.
*Some of Paul's Pokémon are based off Pokémon owned by other rivals of Ash and his friends. There are also some traits he shares with Ash's main rival, {{Gary}}:
**[[Paul's Torterra]] is similar to [[Gary's Blastoise]], as in that they are turtle-based [[starter Pokémon]].
**Both trainers own an {{p|Electivire}}.
**Gary's {{p|Magmar}} is in the same evolution family as [[Paul's Magmortar]].
**Both trainers own a {{p|Nidoking}}.
**Paul often acts rudely to Ash, much like {{Gary}} did until the end of the Johto saga.
*Three of {{Ash}}'s Pokémon have evolved while battling against Paul: Turtwig into {{AP|Grotle}}, Staravia into {{AP|Staraptor}}, and Chimchar into Monferno.
**In addition, Monferno evolved again into {{AP|Infernape}} in Paul's presence. Interestingly, Chimchar was originally Paul's but was released.
**Turtwig and Staravia both evolved while battling [[Paul's Honchkrow]].
*Paul is the first regular rival seen capturing a Pokémon on screen.
*Paul has been known to have conflicting views on his own training strategies. In one battle he claims the Trainer is at fault for all losses, yet whenever one of Paul's Pokémon has lost, Paul blames them.
*Paul has been defeated very easily twice in the series by two powerful Trainers: [[Cynthia]] and {{FB|Pyramid King|Brandon}}.
**In ''[[DP040|Top-Down Training!]]'', Paul loses to [[Cynthia]], without knocking out any of her {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, hardly damaging her {{TP|Cynthia|Garchomp}}, and ultimately giving up after using four of the six Pokémon in his [[party]].
**In ''[[DP128|A Pyramiding Rage!]]'', Paul loses to {{FB|Pyramid King|Brandon}}, hardly injuring his [[Brandon's Regis|Regirock, Registeel, and Regice]], all six of his Pokémon being defeated in the process.
**Both of these Trainers spoke to him after their victory; Cynthia told Paul to raise his Pokémon with love and respect, and Brandon told him that he lost because he can't control his emotions.
*Paul has been defeated onscreen three times, and each time three of his Pokémon debuted. (Torterra, Weavile, and Murkrow for Cynthia; Nidoking, Lairon, and Hariyama for Brandon; and Froslass, Drapion, and Gastrodon for Ash.)
*Paul shares his Japanese name with that of [[Lake Verity]].

'''Mewtwo''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ミュウツー''' ''Mewtwo'') is a {{type2|Psychic}} {{pkmn2|legendary}} Pokémon introduced in [[Generation I]]. It is among the most well-known Pokémon, being the star of [[M01|the first movie]], and in Generation I, the most powerful Pokémon in regards to its total base stats.

It is not known into [[evolution|evolve]] to or from any other Pokémon.

==Biology==
Mewtwo is one of the first [[artificial Pokémon|Pokémon created by science]]. The scientists who created it dreamed of creating the world's strongest Pokémon. It is widely considered to be unique, due to the fact that only one was genetically created. However, this has yet to be fully confirmed.

===Physiology===
Mewtwo is a creature with a humanoid posture, but has many feline features. Mewtwo's body is grayish-purple with a purple underside and a long, purple tail. Mewtwo has three circular digits on each appendage. It has purple eyes (some times blue when attacking) and two short ears.

One of Mewtwo's most notable features is the tube extending from the back of its skull to its spine. It is most likely a secondary spinal cord, or a system of nerves, allowing for an increased amount of blood and sensory transmission to the brain, heightening its psychic powers.

====Gender differences====
This Pokémon is a genderless species, though in the anime it speaks with a male voice.

====Special abilities====
Mewtwo is highly skilled with {{t|Psychic}} powers. It can levitate through use of telekinesis, speak telepathically, and take control of another living being's mind. It is known for its powerful {{m|Shadow Ball}} and {{m|Aura Sphere}}. Mewtwo is also capable of wielding various types of attacks (but to a lesser extent than {{p|Mew}}). To exert its powerful psychic abilities, it will stay motionless for long periods of time in intense concentration to raise its capabilities to the maximum power.

In the [[Pokémon Adventures]] {{pkmn|manga}}, Mewtwo fights with a highly skilled combination of {{m|Psywave}}s and a giant spoon for long range and close range battles, respectively.

In the anime, Mewtwo also has the ability to telekinetically create massive hurricanes thought to be powerful enough to destroy the planet and is constantly protected from harm inside a deflective sphere of psychic energy. Mewtwo has also stated it can block a Pokémon's special abilities in battle.

===Behavior===
Due to its early visions of the human race, Mewtwo is known to be very aggressive and thinks of nothing but battling and defeating its foes. Its viciousness results from the repeated recombining of its DNA and the loss of its friend {{an|Amber}}. During the anime special ''[[Mewtwo Returns]]'', however, Mewtwo seems to have developed a very protective and guardian-like nature to the point of surrendering to [[Giovanni]] just to keep its fellow clones safe.

===Habitat===
[[File:Rare.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Rare Pokémon}}]]
Mewtwo, being a cloned Pokémon, has no ''natural'' habitat. However, it has been known to make its hideout in the lowest level of [[Cerulean Cave]]. Also, in the {{pkmn|anime}}, Mewtwo has been seen roaming a large city under the cover of night. It generally likes to be in dark solitude, such as the darkness of a deep cave. However, in [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red and Blue Rescue Team]], this artificial Pokémon is said to sleep in a [[Western Cave|cave located in the west]].

===Diet===
Unknown.

==In the games==
According to the scientific logs found in the {{ka|Pokémon Mansion}} of [[Cinnabar Island]], Mewtwo was born of a pregnant {{p|Mew}} whose embryo had been tampered with to alter its DNA. It was held and studied in the mansion where the scientists, including [[Blaine]] and [[Mr. Fuji|Dr. Fuji]], performed horrific gene-splicing experiments that made it vicious and extremely powerful. It eventually broke free of the Mansion (destroying it in the process) and fled. The player will encounter it in [[Cerulean Cave]], which is unable to be accessed until after he or she has proven his or her skill at the [[Indigo Plateau]].

==In the anime==
[[File:Capture14.png|thumb|right|250px|Mewtwo in the anime]]
===Major appearances===
====[[Mewtwo (anime)]]====
While Mewtwo has been the Pokémon of focus of two {{pkmn|movie}}s, it also made brief appearances in ''[[EP063|The Battle of the Badge]]'' and ''[[EP065|Showdown at the Poké-Corral]]'' in its body armor. The first instance was when [[Giovanni]] used it to battle {{Gary}}'s {{TP|Gary|Arcanine}} and {{p|Nidoking}}. The second time was when Mewtwo totaled Giovanni's headquarters and flew off. While a scene involving Mewtwo and Giovanni did appear in ''[[EP064|It's Mr. Mime Time]]'', it wasn't in the movie.

====Other====
A {{pkmn2|Mirage}} Mewtwo appears in ''[[The Mastermind of Mirage Pokémon]]'' and is the most powerful Pokémon controlled by the [[Mirage Master]].

===Minor appearances===
Mewtwo appears chasing a {{p|Mew}} during the opening of ''[[M10|The Rise of Darkrai]]''.

==In the manga==
===In the Magical Pokémon Journey manga===
During the {{Vol|Magical Pokémon Journey|10|final volume}} of [[Magical Pokémon Journey]], [[Hazel]] goes to a forest in another dimension to find Mew so it can grant her a wish, and gets trapped by Mewtwo.

===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
{{main|Mewtwo (Adventures)}}
Mewtwo has a similar origin and personality to the Mewtwo that appeared in the anime. It is a genetically engineered Pokémon created by [[Blaine]] for [[Team Rocket]] by splicing Mew's DNA with his own. Blaine later defected from Team Rocket and hid himself away, as both he and Mewtwo were suffering from an illness caused by a shared psychic link due to their mutual DNA. Mewtwo went on a rampage and hid itself in the Cerulean Cave, but {{adv|Red}} was able to capture him with a Master Ball and return him to Blaine so he could attempt to show the mutant compassion and, if possible, find a cure for their illness. Blaine and Mewtwo fought against [[Lance]] two years later, but were defeated when their condition weakened them and Blaine collapsed. The pair were later cured by the flames of {{p|Entei}} whom Blaine had earlier befriended and partnered with. Later, Blaine left Mewtwo on his own, and the legendary Pokémon only returned when he learned of Giovanni's plans to use {{adv|Deoxys}} for nefarious purposes. Mewtwo joined up with Red to attempt to defeat Deoxys and Giovanni, and with Red's help managed to defeat the duo after a tough fight that nearly killed him. It has a Quiet [[nature]].

===In the Pokémon Get da ze! manga===
[[Shū's father]] is portrayed as having been the creator of Mewtwo after a failed five year search for the elusive Mew.

===In the Pokémon Pocket Monsters manga===
{{main|Mewtwo (Pocket Monsters)}}
Mewtwo is a Pokémon owned by {{OBP|Blue|Pocket Monsters}} in the [[Pokémon Pocket Monsters]] manga. Mewtwo becomes a "gag Pokémon" when its DNA becomes mixed with {{TP|Isamu Akai|Clefairy}}'s.

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

==Other appearances==
===[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]===
[[File:Mewtwo Melee.jpg|thumb|right|Mewtwo in SSBM]]
Mewtwo is a playable character and is unlocked after a lot of playing in VS. Mode; either after 700 matches or 20 hours of combined play. The time taken is reduced by the number of human players, so Mewtwo can be unlocked after just five hours if four players are playing for the whole time.

Due to its large body and light weight, Mewtwo is easy to knock off the stage. In addition, Mewtwo is slow, lacks any fast defensive options, and also has general problems with some of its other moves such as lengthy charging and ending lag.

To make up for this, out of all other playable Pokémon, Mewtwo is the strongest in terms of percent-racking; has a tail with longer reach than most other fighters' moves; has an excellent recovery; has some of the most powerful throws in the game; and, when charged, has the strongest projectile of all playable characters ({{m|Shadow Ball}}).

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

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

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

===[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]===
Mewtwo was cut from the sequel's roster. Internal data features data for seven characters not in the roster; Mewtwo included. It is currently unknown if it will be possible to utilize this data in any way. Known existing data within the game include: a Classic mode "Congratulations" picture for Mewtwo; unused voice files and sound effects; and even an empty audio file for the Wiimote, whenever he would be selected on the playable roster. While there is a possibility that some of the data for Mewtwo was merely recycled from Melee, recent hacking has proven that Mewtwo was seriously considered for the game, having the most scrapped in-game files than any of the other cut characters. Instead, Mewtwo appears as a collectible trophy after clearing All-Star mode on Intense difficulty.

He was most likely replaced by Lucario, since he shares several similar moves with it.
====Trophy information====
A Genetic Pokémon. This legendary Pokémon was based on a recombination of Mew's DNA, created by a scientist after years of research. However, Mewtwo greatly differs from Mew in both size and personality and is said to be the most twisted and savage Pokémon ever. Mewtwo has incredibly high combat abilities and uses Psychic- type attacks.

===Merchandise===
Mewtwo was one of the first four Pokémon designs revealed when the [[Pokémon 151]] brand was first announced. In the shirt design, two Mewtwo are holding a 150 Crest with a DNA strand as its header. On top of it is a crown with a Poké Ball as its jewel.

==Trivia==
* Mewtwo was the first Pokémon seen in the English dub, as it appears at the very beginning of the [[Pokémon Theme|first dub opening]].
* Mewtwo has the second highest {{stat|Special Attack}} in the game, surpassed only by the Attack Forme of {{p|Deoxys}}.
**Therefore it has the highest Special Attack of all non-event Pokémon.
**Mewtwo and {{p|Lugia}} have the highest base stat total of all Psychic-types.
* In [[Generation I]], Mewtwo had a base stat total of 590, the highest at the time. The [[Generation II]] special split increased its stat total to 680, where it was later joined by {{cat|Pokémon with a base stat total of 680|several other Pokémon}} and finally surpassed by {{p|Arceus}}'s total of 720.
** Mewtwo is the only Pokémon with a 680 base stat total that is not a [[version mascot]].
* A {{shiny}} Mewtwo from {{3v2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}} will appear black instead of green when viewed through [[Pokémon Stadium 2]].
* A journal quote from the {{ka|Pokémon Mansion}} states that Mewtwo's birthday is February 6.
* Mewtwo can learn damaging moves of all types except {{t|Dragon}}.
* An image of Mewtwo is seen on the door to [[Bill]]'s lighthouse in ''[[EP013|Mystery at the Lighthouse]]'', even though Mewtwo was a secret Pokémon in the anime at that time.
*Although intended to be a stronger variation of Mew in all respects, Mewtwo can learn fewer moves, has two lower potential Pokéathlon stats, and has a lower base Defense and Special Defense.
*Although Mewtwo is a clone of {{p|Mew}}, it comes before Mew in the Pokédex.
*While Mewtwo has a masculine voice when communicating through telepathy, {{p|Mew}} has a feminine cry.
*While most other legendary Pokémon that are its equal in terms of [[base stat]] totals have a [[signature move]], Mewtwo did not receive one until [[Generation V]], when it became the only Pokémon able to learn {{m|Psycho Break}}.
*Although it is intended to be one of a kind, Mewtwo is still available to the player in [[HeartGold]] and [[SoulSilver]], which are direct sequals to [[FireRed]] and [[LeafGreen]], as well as the [[Generation I]] games. This could mean that according to game cannon, [[Red]] never actually caught Mewtwo, possibly due to their encounter being a side quest.
* Mewtwo shares a relation with {{p|Genesect}}: they have both been tampered with genetically.

===Origin===
Its nature and origin are similar to elements of {{wp|Mary Shelley}}'s ''{{wp|Frankenstein}}'', in which a life-form created through unnatural means turns on its creators. Like Mew, Mewtwo has some {{wp|feline}} characteristics. Its body structure is much larger as a result of gene-splicing.

====Name origin====
Mewtwo's name is a combination of ''{{p|Mew}}'', referring to the Pokémon on which it was based, and ''two'', indicating that it is a clone of Mew. It also sounds somewhat phonetically similar to the English word ''{{wp|mutant}}'' (myūtanto).

==In other languages==
* [[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Mewtu
* [[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Mewtwo
* [[List of Korean Pokémon names|Korean]]: 뮤츠 ''Myucheu''
*[[List of Chinese Pokémon names|Chinese (Taiwan)]]: 超夢 ''Chāo Mèng'' - Literally means "Ultimate dream". May also means "to surpass/transcend dreams". 超 may also be a reference to {{tt|'''超'''能力|Chāonénglì}}, [[Psychic (type)|Psychic]].

Marcel

Dragonick: /* Pokémon */

[[image:Marcel.png|200px|thumb|right|Marcel]] '''Marcel''' (Japanese: '''マッキー''' ''McKee'') is a [[character of the day]] who appeared in ''[[AG088|The Garden of Eatin']]''.

The owner of the Banana Slakoth Garden, Marcel was in the middle of a big problem when {{Ash}} and {{Ashfr|his friends}} showed up. The Garden had been closed due to a {{p|Snorlax}} eating all of the bananas in the park. To make matters worse, whenever any Pokémon tried to battle with the Snorlax, it would use {{m|Yawn}} and make them fall asleep.

Marcel was just about to give up when {{an|Brock}} suggested that he capture a {{p|Slakoth}} from the Garden and evolve it into a {{p|Vigoroth}}. His reasoning was because of Vigoroth's {{a|Vital Spirit}} ability. This would prevent it from falling asleep.

Taking his advice, Marcel captured a Slakoth, and, after battling Ash's {{AP|Pikachu}}, {{AP|Torkoal}} and {{AP|Grovyle}}, it evolved. Using the Wild Monkey Pokémon, Marcel battled the Snorlax and successfully captured it.

After opening the park, Marcel revealed that Snorlax had given him an idea. One of the rooms was designed for visitors to sleep if they were feeling tired, and Marcel's newly captured Snorlax helped them fall asleep using {{m|Yawn}}.

Ash and the others bid farewell to Marcel and continued to [[Lilycove City]].

Slakoth battled with Marcel against Ash's Pokémon, and after continuously battling, it evolved into Vigoroth and battled Snorlax. After defeating it, Marcel captured the Snorlax.

Professor Westwood V

2010-10-25T00:26:09Z

Dragonick: /* On Slowbro's tail */

[[Image:Westwood.gif|thumb|right|220px|Westwood and {{p|Slowbro}}]]
'''Professor Westwood V''' (Japanese: '''ニシノモリ教授　5世''' ''Professor Nishinomori V'') is a [[character of the day]] of the {{pkmn|anime}} who appeared in the episode ''[[EP066|The Evolution Solution]]''. His English voice actor is [[Nathan Price]] and his Japanese voice actor is 龍田直樹 ''Naoki Tatsuta''.

Upon reaching the Seafoam Islands, {{Ash}} and {{Ashfr|his friends}} meet Professor Westwood. Ash sums up Westwood's personality by whispering "He seems a little eccentric". Eccentric, indeed, can describe Professor Westwood, who prefers to be called Westwood V, as {{an|Brock}} even theorizes that his eccentricity is hereditary; portraits of four identical Westwood ancestors adorn the walls on the Westwood V's Laboratory.

He is esteemed for his work on the [[Pokédex]], which he wrote the entries for. Professor Westwood admitted to Ash later in the episode, though, that he made up some of the information in the Pokédex. Westwood doesn't travel much, and merely relies on reports for his Pokédex data.

When Ash and friends meet up with him, his task at that time was to discover how {{p|Slowpoke}} [[Evolution|evolve]] into {{p|Slowbro}}. The problem, after stumping the famous professor, was soon solved as the episode progressed, with [[List of Pokémon temporarily owned by Team Rocket#Shellder|Jessie's Shellder]] clamping on Westwood's Slowpoke's tail. Slowpoke evolved into Slowbro, thus commencing Westwood's studies on the matter.

This task done was in the hope that he would be awarded more, thus thinking that the Pokémon Symposium would be impressed by his work. The outcome of this, though, is uncertain.

Westwood is eccentric in such a way that he prays to the portraits of Westwood I to IV, and sometimes forgets and prays to his own portrait, as well. He has also expressed desire to surpass his predecessors' achievements, too, though, and even commented that he deserved a statue rather than a mere portrait.

Westwood might be also considered a bit vain, as he has not replaced his portrait with a more recent one. His portrait was taken some time ago, as he had a full head of hair in the said painting. He was quite good looking, anyway, and tends to stare at his portrait at length after prostrating to the other four.

Other than that, Westwood has dedicated his life to being a Pokémon professor and researcher, and cares much for his last remaining Pokémon, Slowpoke, as evident from the part where Team Rocket tried to capture it.

Professor Westwood's Slowpoke, which subsequently evolved into Slowbro after Jessie's Shellder accidentally clamped on its tail, is Westwood's last remaining Pokémon after his previous ones had been given away to beginning trainers or released. Slowbro enjoys the company of [[Misty's Psyduck]], who shares his dumb, clueless look.

It appeared as a Slowpoke on a rock outside Westwood's lab having its tail in the water. {{Ash}} and [[Ash's friends|his friends]] investigate, [[Misty's Psyduck]] comes out and talks to Slowpoke and talk randomly. A {{p|Magikarp}} grabs its tail but nothing happens, same with Psyduck too.

Later when [[Team Rocket]] attempt to capture all the Pokémon in Westwood's lab, Slowpoke comes in, he tries to run away with it but the trio catch up. [[Jessie]] sends out her newly captured [[Jessie's Shellder|Shellder]], it clamps onto Psyduck instead giving it a headache, it uses {{m|Disable}} and {{m|Confusion}} sending Team Rocket flying. Slowpoke walks over to Psyduck to say thanks but trips and Shellder clamps onto its tail causing it to [[Evolution|evolve]] into Slowbro. Team Rocket try to grab it but it uses {{m|Mega Punch}} sending them flying. In the end Psyduck say goodbye to Slowbro in another random coversation.

Its known moves are {{m|Amnesia}} and {{m|Mega Punch}}.}}

==Trivia==
* Furiijio is the only Pokémon besides {{p|Porygon}} to learn {{m|Sharpen}}.
* Furiijio has the highest {{stat|Special Defense}} of all non-legendary {{type2|Ice}} Pokémon.
* Along with {{p|Moltres}}, {{p|Solrock}}, and {{p|Groudon}}, Furiijio is one of four non-{{type2|Grass}} Pokémon that are able to learn {{m|SolarBeam}} naturally.

===Origin===
Furiijio's appearance seems to be based on both {{wp|snowflakes}} and {{wp|ice crystals}}. The ability to trap prey in ice crystals may be a reference to {{wp|Hrimthurs}}, Nordic giants who were made of ice, who also have this ability.

====Name origin====
May be derived from "frigid", meaning intensely cold.

'''Ash's Heracross''' (Japanese: '''サトシのヘラクロス''' ''Satoshi's Heracros'') was the first Pokémon [[Ash]] captured during his travels through [[Johto]].

==History==
[[File:Heracross sap.png|thumb|left|250px|Heracross eating sap]]
Heracross first appeared in ''[[EP119|A Sappy Ending]]''. In the episode, several Heracross and {{p|Pinsir}} were having a territorial dispute. One of the Heracross followed Ash and his {{Ashfr|friends}} as they tried to figure out a solution to stop the dispute, which, unsurprisingly, came in the form of Team Rocket. Team Rocket was stopped thanks to the Heracross, and the Pinsir were able to return to their forest, leaving the Butterfree and Heracross. However, the same Heracross was still intrigued by Ash and followed him for a little ways out of the forest. Eventually, Ash saw it following and the Heracross happily allowed itself to be captured.

Heracross proved to be a powerful battler in ''[[EP120|Roll On, Pokémon!]]'' where it battled a {{p|Donphan}} and against a {{p|Scizor}} in ''[[EP140|Wired for Battle!]]''. It also likes to suck sap from plants or trees, as well as {{AP|Bulbasaur}}'s bulb whenever the two were together, annoying Bulbasaur enough to use {{m|Vine Whip}} on him.

Heracross was sent to [[Professor Oak]]'s lab in ''[[EP146|Tricks of the Trade]]'' in exchange for one of [[Ash's Tauros]]. Ash sent Tauros back in the following episode, but Professor Oak informed Ash that he wanted to study Heracross's behavior and wanted it to stay with him for some more time.

In the Johto League [[Silver Conference]], Ash used it in the league battle against {{Gary}}. Despite the type disadvantage, it was able to defeat Gary's {{p|Magmar}} but lost to his {{TP|Gary|Blastoise}}. After Ash returned from Johto, he left Heracross with Professor Oak when he began to his journey into [[Hoenn]].
[[File:Ash Heracross affection.png|thumb|right|250px|Heracross showing affection]]

In the special episodes, Heracross made a cameo appearance telling the other Pokémon about [[Cassidy]] and [[Butch]].

In ''[[AG164|Ka Boom with a View!]]'', Ash used Heracross again in the battle against [[Palace Maven Spenser]]. Upon being sent out, Heracross immediately went to eat the sap on [[Spenser's Venusaur]]. After putting up a good battle, it lost to Venusaur's {{m|SolarBeam}}.

Heracross reappeared in [[DP182]], where it was seen sucking sap out of {{AP|Bulbasaur}}'s bulb and also sucking on Professor Oak's head, making him angry. It was used for Ash's battle with [[Nando]] in [[DP183]]. It was put up against {{TP|Nando|Nando's Kricketune|Kricketune}}, which used {{m|Sing}} to put Heracross asleep. However, while asleep, it was able to dodge Kricketune's {{m|Fury Cutter}} attack, because of the newly learned {{m|Sleep Talk}} attack, and counter it with an also newly learned {{m|Focus Punch}}. After it woke up, it had a fierce battle with Kricketune, which Heracross ended with a powerful {{m|Megahorn}}/{{m|Horn Attack}} combo. After the battle, Heracross showed its affection towards Ash by "sucking on" his head.

In [[DP189]], it was the first Pokémon to battle [[Takuto]] in the semi-finals of the [[Suzuran Conference]]. It was revealed to have learned {{m|Hyper Beam}}, which collided with {{p|Darkrai}}'s {{m|Ice Beam}}. It tried to attack Darkrai with {{m|Horn Attack}} but was put to sleep by {{m|Dark Void}}. Due to Sleep Talk, it was able to hit the legendary Pokémon with a {{m|Megahorn}}, only to be defeated when Darkrai used {{m|Dream Eater}} to attack Heracross.

==Trivia==
* The shape of its horn would suggest that Heracross is male, although prior to [[Generation IV]] all Heracross had horns shaped like this.
* Heracross is the 20th Pokémon species Ash has owned, counting {{AP|Haunter}} and {{AP|Raticate}}.
* Heracross is Ash's second {{type2|Fighting}} Pokémon, the first being {{AP|Primeape}}. It is also his second {{type2|Bug}} Pokémon, the first being {{AP|Butterfree}}. Because both Primeape and Butterfree were eventually released, Heracross is Ash's first Bug-type and first Fighting-type to stay in his roster.
* Heracross wasn't used in gym battles in the Johto region, but it was used in the Silver Conference.
* Heracross was the first Pokémon Ash caught in the Johto region.
* Heracross is one of the two Pokémon (three if {{AP|Haunter}} is counted) that Ash owns that has a [[List of Pokémon with unique type combinations|unique type combination]]; the other being {{AP|Torterra}}.
* Heracross only has two moves of the Bug and Fighting-types: {{m|Megahorn}} and {{m|Focus Punch}}. These moves have the highest base power of their types.
* Heracross is the fourth of Ash's Pokémon to know the move {{m|Hyper Beam}}, the first three being {{AP|Kingler}}, {{AP|Snorlax}} and {{AP|Donphan}}.
** Out of these, Heracross is the only one that doesn't have an evolutionary family
* Even though Ash has owned three bug type Pokémon, the others being {{AP|Butterfree}} and {{AP|Beedrill}}, Heracross is the only one still under his ownership.
