== Frygon a mistake? ==

I don't exactly see how this is a mistake since R is used to represent both L and R when transliterating English into Japanese. [[User:Eszett|Eszett]] 09:48, 1 January 2006 (CST)

It is considered a mistake because they quite obviously (though not necessarily) were aiming for Flygon when they set the romanisation for this Pokémon. (The exact romanisation, however, is ''furaigon'', not Frygon or Flygon) - [[User:Zhen Lin|振霖]][[User talk:Zhen Lin|T]] 08:19, 2 January 2006 (CST)

Is "Frygon" the actual trademarked name? Check out [http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v254/ArgyM/poke2003_002.jpg this banner] from one of the Festas. I think this is worth looking into. --[[User:Argy|Argy]] 04:03, 30 May 2006 (UTC)

:It appears at this point as though "Frygon" was, in fact, a mistake. :D --[[User:Politoed666|ニョロトノ]][[User talk:Politoed666|''666'']] 00:14, 22 October 2008 (UTC)

== Flygon Polygon ==

I thought part of Flygon's name came from its polygon wings. [[User:Yami Takashi|Yami]] 00:28, 9 September 2008 (UTC)
:Actually, the wings appear to have a good deal of curvature to them, unlike Vibrava, who does have polygonal wings.
:Personally, I just thought that someone messed up and switched Flygon's name with Salamence. --[[User:Martonimos|Martonimos]][[User talk:Martonimos|((Argh]]|[[Special:Contributions/Martonimos|Blargh))]] 00:32, 9 September 2008 (UTC)
::Though since Salamence is Bohmander, it makes sense for it to keep the salamander reference...and Flygon's Frygon. '''[[User:TTEchidna|''TTE'']][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]]''' 03:23, 9 September 2008 (UTC)
:::Are you talking about the Japanese names? I concede your point. But tell me that it doesn't make more sense to have something named Shelgon evolve into something named Flygon instead of something named Salamence. --[[User:Martonimos|Martonimos]][[User talk:Martonimos|((Argh]]|[[Special:Contributions/Martonimos|Blargh))]] 03:36, 9 September 2008 (UTC)
Decent point, that. I was wondering that myself.[[User:Kiryu|Kiryu]] 22:57, 8 October 2008 (UTC)

== More Possible Trivia. . . ==

I thought it was pretty strange that Flygon is in the Bug Egg Group. I looked at the article about the Bug Egg Group, and noticed that Flygon and its Pre-evolved forms are the only Pokémon in the Bug Egg Group that aren't part Bug-type, '''except''' for Gligar and Gliscor. Is this worthy of the Trivia Section. (By the way, it is frustrating that it is part of the Bug Egg Group because I can't breed any Dragon-type moves into it, like Dragon Rush or Outrage.) [[User:Superbreeder|Superbreeder]] [[User talk:Superbreeder|What's up?]] 00:09, 22 October 2008 (UTC)
:Well it is based off of an insect, the Antlion.[[User:Shadow1337|Shadow1337]] 22:49, 25 October 2008 (UTC)

:And also, I have a flygon on my team that I caught from a vibrava, but in the trivia it said you cant catch any of the evolutions
i think we should change that, if any of you approve. P.S. caught the vibrava at Route 228.
{{Unsigned|Gbedemah}}

==HeartGold and SoulSilver==

I'm not far enough in the games yet to verify and change it myself, but according to the pages for Trapinch and Vibrava, both of them are available in HeartGold and SoulSilver in the Johto Safari Zone. Shouldn't then Flygon's page say, for HeartGold and SoulSilver, "Evolve Vibrara", not "Trade"? [[User:Ritabuuk|Ritabuuk]] 17:09, 9 May 2010 (UTC)

== In other languages ==

Flygon is missing one.... --[[User:Han Ji-Wan|Han Ji-Wan]] 02:57, 17 January 2011 (UTC)
:Found it in the page history. Seems that I accidentally deleted it several months ago. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 13:41, 19 January 2011 (UTC)

== Levitate ==

Possible error. If Flygon's natural ability is Levitate, how can it have a Hidden Ability of Levitate? It's redundant. {{unsigned|PKMN Soldier Berlioz}}
:Yeah, saw that too. I'm not good at correcting tables, though. Once I messed up the whole Naturfe Power article trying to fix it. Could someone with knowledge fix this? [[User:ARCEUSVICTINI|ARCEUSVICTINI]] 20:05, 2 June 2011 (UTC)
::The hidden ability is actually programmed into the games as levitate, so that a female Flygon from the DW can be bred to get a Trapinch with Trapinch's hidden ability. Not sure how the tables should be set up in that case though. [[User:Werdnae|Werdnae]] [[User talk:Werdnae|(talk)]] 22:26, 2 June 2011 (UTC)

== Based on a European dragon? ==

To what extent would it be appropriate to say that Flygon is based on a European dragon? It clearly isn't completely based on the adult antlion/dragonfly (it resembles a dragon much more than it resembles an insect, unlike its pre-evolution); it has the body plan and build of a European dragon, and its arms and tail are clearly reptilian rather than insectoid. [[User:Darthrai|Darthrai]] 06:16, 24 December 2011 (UTC)

:Can you link us to something to compare with? '''[[User:Toon Ganondorf|Toon Ganondorf ]] [[User Talk:Toon Ganondorf|(t]] [[Special:Contributions/Toon Ganondorf|c)]]''' 00:29, 26 December 2011 (UTC)

== Sand Stream ==

Okay, I've put in an addition to the trivia a while ago, looking like this:
"Despite the fact that Flygon can create sandstorms at will, it cannot have the ability Sand Stream", only to find it deleted. I've put it back in, but won't bring it back if it ends up deleted once more. I would just like to ask why it was removed.

'''Flygon''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''フライゴン''' ''Flygon'') is a dual-type {{2t|Ground|Dragon}} Pokémon.

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

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Flygon is a large insect-like dragon Pokémon resembling a slightly reptilian bipedal dragonfly, primarily light green in color. Flygon has a pair of large green rhombus-shaped wings with a red trim, toeless hind legs and skinny arms with three-clawed hands. Flygon's tail has several dark green stripes and three small green rhombus shapes with red trims at the end. Flygon has red-lensed "goggles" covering its eyes and a pair of green antennae which point back.

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

===Special abilities===
Aside from being able to kick up {{m|sandstorm}}s, Flygon's other ability is {{a|Levitate}}, which allows it to avoid {{t|Ground}} attacks such as {{m|Earthquake}} or {{m|Magnitude}}. Its wings also seem to be "singing" when they are flapped, because Flygon flaps its wings at incredibly high speed, which also allows it to fly at unmatched speed.

Also like Vibrava, Flygon also gains access to {{m|Draco Meteor}}.

===Behavior===
This dragon Pokémon is highly adapted to life in the desert. It's also known as "the spirit of the desert" due to the sound its wings make in sandstorms. When it flaps its wings, it inadvertently kicks up a cloud of dust, which serves to protect it from potential enemies. Its eyes are covered with thick lenses, which prevent particles of sand from disturbing its vision. The flapping wings create a very unusual "singing" sound. Because this sound is usually heard in the presence of sandstorms, the incredible speed this Pokémon flies with, and the reduction of sight in a sandstorm, it was thought that this Pokémon was the spirit of the desert.

===Habitat===
[[File:Roughterrain.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Rough-terrain Pokémon}}]]
Although Flygon are hard to find in the wild, they are often seen in deserts punished by harsh sandstorms, often caused by themselves. Most Flygon belong to Trainers, mainly from evolved {{p|Vibrava}}, either caught in the wild or previously evolved from a {{p|Trapinch}}.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

==In the anime==
[[File:Drew Flygon.png|225px|thumb|right|Flygon in the anime]]

===Minor appearances===
Flygon made its anime debut in a flashback of a [[Pokémon Coordinator]] in ''[[AG060|Delcatty Got Your Tongue?]]''.

A Flygon also appeared in ''[[M11|Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]''.

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

===Pokédex entries===
{{Animedexheader|Hoenn}}
{{Animedexbody|AG123|Flygon|Ash's Pokédex|Flygon, the Mystic Pokémon. Flygon is the evolved form of Vibrava. It's known as the desert spirit because of the song-like voice that eminates from the {{m|sandstorm}}s it kicks up.}}

==Game data==
===Pokédex entries===
{{Dex

|rubydex=Flygon is nicknamed "the elemental spirit of the desert." Because its flapping wings whip up a cloud of sand, this Pokémon is always enveloped in a {{m|sandstorm}} while flying.
|sapphiredex=Flygon whips up a sandstorm by flapping its wings. The wings create a series of notes that sound like singing. Because the "singing" is the only thing that can be heard in a sandstorm, this Pokémon is said to be the desert spirit.

|frlgdex=It hides itself by kicking up desert sand with its wings. Red covers shield its eyes from sand.

==Trivia==
* Flygon and its pre-evolution, {{p|Vibrava}}, share several characteristics usually associated with types other than theirs:
** Their evolutionary line, along with the {{p|Gligar}} line, are the only evolutionary families to be in the {{egg3|Bug}} with no {{type|Bug}} members.
** Vibrava and Flygon are the only {{type|Dragon}} Pokémon not in the {{egg3|Dragon}}.
* Flygon shares the same [[species]] name with {{p|Xatu}}. They are both known as Mystic Pokémon.
* Flygon is the only fully-evolved Pokémon lacking a [[Hidden Ability]] that evolves from a Pokémon with a Hidden Ability.
* Like {{p|Haxorus}} and {{p|Aggron}}, Flygon is commonly mistaken for a [[pseudo-legendary Pokémon]], due to the fact that it is seen as powerful in the anime, is the final stage in a 3 part evolutionary line, and is a {{type|Dragon}} Pokémon. This is not the case, because it does not have a base stat total of 600.
* Flygon has the same base {{stat|Attack}} as its base form, {{p|Trapinch}}.
* All of Vibrava's [[base stats]] go up by exactly 30 points when it evolves into Flygon.
* Flygon's [[Effort values|EV Yield]] (1 Attack, 2 Speed) is unique.
* Despite the fact that Flygon can create sandstorms at will, it cannot have the ability {{a|Sand Stream}}.

===Origin===
{{Bulbanews|On the Origin of Species: Trapinch, Vibrava and Flygon}}
Flygon is based on the winged, adult stage of the {{wp|antlion}}, which highly resembles a dragonfly. Often the adult antlion and dragonfly are confused with one another, and Flygon could draw inspiration from both. In fact, some species of dragonflies are commonly called "sand dragons", which could account for Vibrava and Flygon's interesting typing. In keeping with its Dragon type, it also possesses a dragonlike build and reptilian features such as its arms and tail.

====Name origin====
Flygon is a combination of ''fly'' and ''dragon''. It may also be a partial anagram of ''{{wp|dragonfly}}''.

:If you wanna talk overall similarities between the two, there are '''a lot'''. In the anime, they both meet Ash by knocking him off his feet (Barry ran into him; Bianca fell over a rock, thus sending both Cilan and Ash flying into a lake... or whatever). The first time they meet Ash also involves a badge case (Barry loses his when he runs into Ash; Bianca is delivering one). Other similarities would include the first letter of their name (in english, anyway), and the fact that they are both rivals (in the games, possibly in the anime). Their dads actually appear in the games [and possibly in the anime] (Palmer is a frontier brain, Bianca's dad drags her away from training in the game... if I'm correct).

Quote from the little blurb above the article title as of 10/27/2010:
"As you update with Black and White information, make sure it is confirmed. '''Other fan sites are not reliable sources of information.'''" Boldface not mine.

Kyurem is not confirmed to be related to the other two; for all we know, the third member of the trio could be another Pokémon, or it could just be a duo. I say that the article be moved to "Yin-yang duo" or something else relating to just Reshiram and Zekrom, and Kyurem should be added to trivia as a popular fan candidate to be the third member. [[User:Bwburke94|Bwburke94]] 16:50, 27 October 2010 (UTC)
:How much confirmation do you need? Look at their learnsets. Look at the Fire-Ice-Lightning motifs. Their theme music is also similar.

I added it to the trivia. It may be removed if it seems irrelevant at this point, but if Kyurem becomes the mascot of the third version in Gen V (as it most likely will) the yellow eyes will further prove a tie to the first gen colors, as Yellow was a third version.
-- [[User:Swagmander|Swagmander]] 03:35, 19 February 2011 (UTC)
:::I don't think the eye colors are referencing each other in a circle at all. Remember that it is not really an all out trio; it's more like Reshiram and Zekrom are a duo, and Kyurem is more of a standout in the middle(this applies with the other 670 BST+ "trios" as wel as the "Kami trio"). If anything, Reshiram's blue iris and black(as opposed to white) sclera are a reference to Zekrom's blue electricity and black color, while Zekrom's red iris and white sclera (the pupil is still black, but I think the pupil always has to be black in most cases) reference Reshiram's white color and fire. It's unknown what Kyurem's yellow eyes allude to(note that parts of Kyurem glow yellow a little when it does it's animation in Pokedex 3D).[[User:SunFlareO0|SunFlareO0]] 15:31, 21 September 2011 (UTC)

== More Kyurem discussion... (MOVE PROPOSAL) ==

Quote from the little blurb above the article title as of 10/27/2010:
"As you update with Black and White information, make sure it is confirmed. '''Other fan sites are not reliable sources of information.'''" Boldface not mine.

Kyurem is not confirmed to be related to the other two; for all we know, the third member of the trio could be another Pokémon, or it could just be a duo. I say that the article be moved to "Yin-yang duo" or something else relating to just Reshiram and Zekrom, and Kyurem should be added to trivia as a popular fan candidate to be the third member. [[User:Bwburke94|Bwburke94]] 16:50, 27 October 2010 (UTC)
:How much confirmation do you need? Look at their learnsets. Look at the Fire-Ice-Lightning motifs. Their theme music is also similar. There are slight dissimilarities between the two mascots and Kyurem, but you have to admit that there are a lot of parallels, just like there were with Rayquaza and Giratina previously. --[[User:AndyPKMN|AndyPKMN]] 18:28, 27 October 2010 (UTC)
::I'd like to add that, although it is VERY likely Kyurem is the third member, wasn't this discouraged with Platinum despite Giratina being all but 100% confirmed, as there was a small chance that it may not be Giratina? I'd say add a tag to the page explaining that this trio is not 100% confirmed, but is based on information we have now, just because it seems more professional that way --[[User:Shadowater|Shadowater]] 01:23, 24 January 2011 (UTC)

== Interesting trivia? ==

I noticed something. No two members have the same number of claws. Reshiram has four, Zekrom has three and Kyurem has two. [[User:Angela-Samshi|Angela-Samshi]] 19:22, 15 November 2010 (UTC)

Also, should it be noted that they share their types with the legendary birds, the first trio? ([[User:Divdax|Divdax]] 22:08, 24 November 2010 (UTC))
:They have them as their secondary type while the Birds have it as their primary type, though I think it can be said that the "Energy Dragon" trio share their secondary types with the Birds primary types? I also now noticed they're reversed too (Ice/Electric/Fire vs. Fire/Electric/Ice). [[User:Angela-Samshi|Angela-Samshi]] 23:47, 24 November 2010 (UTC)

== Mythos or Myths? ==

Is it intentional for the subheading "Mythos" to be called that or is it a typo? --[[User:Landfish7|'''Land''']][[User talk:Landfish7|'''fish7''']]''' 22:34, 12 January 2011 (UTC)
Why are we using Mythos rather than Myths or Mythology? --[[User:Landfish7|'''Land''']][[User talk:Landfish7|'''fish7''']]''' 17:57, 5 February 2011 (UTC)

== real or fandom ==

"Another claim is that Kyurem is the corpse of the original Dragon Pokémon after it had split into Reshiram and Zekrom."

Where does it say this I'm intrigued?
[[User:Vespitomb|Vespi]][[User Talk:Vespitomb|tomb>]] 17:23, 13 February 2011 (UTC)

::There's a story told in BW, which says, there were two kings of Unova, with a single royal dragon, which split into seperate dragons once they started to fight over their ideals. Look at Kyurem, not just is it weaker stat/moveset wise than Reshiram and Zekrom, it also looks weakened. While Reshiram and Zekrom have generators (producing warmth, hence Fire and Electric) on their tails, Kyurem does not. Instead his tail looks like a plug. No generator=cold, hence Ice. This is genious. --[[User:Saiph charon|Saiph charon]] 14:44, 23 February 2011 (UTC)

Some people say Kyurem came from a comet, some say that it's the corpse of the Original Dragon. I believe that both are true, and that the comet people believe to have brought Kyurem struck the leftover shell of the Original Dragon, infusing Kyurem with its Ice powers (comets are made from space dust and ice) and reviving it. [[User:Slate Orchid|Slate Orchid]] 21:44, 17 April 2011 (UTC)

== Eye Colors ==
Should it be added to the trivia that the eye colors of the Tao Trio allude to the three original versions' colors? (Red for Zekrom, Blue for Reshiram, and Yellow for Kyurem?)-- [[User:Swagmander|Swagmander]] 22:58, 15 February 2011 (UTC)
:I wouldn't be so sure. The absolute original versions were Japanese Red and Green, with the third version being Blue. It might be worth a mention that they correspond to the colours of the original english/western versions though? [[User:Oshawhat?|Oshawhat?]] 15:01, 18 February 2011 (UTC)
::There are 4 games, not 3. Maybe they did it referring to Outside of Japan games.
I added it to the trivia. It may be removed if it seems irrelevant at this point, but if Kyurem becomes the mascot of the third version in Gen V (as it most likely will) the yellow eyes will further prove a tie to the first gen colors, as Yellow was a third version.
-- [[User:Swagmander|Swagmander]] 03:35, 19 February 2011 (UTC)
:::I don't think the eye colors are referencing each other in a circle at all. Remember that it is not really an all out trio; it's more like Reshiram and Zekrom are a duo, and Kyurem is more of a standout in the middle(this applies with the other 670 BST+ "trios" as wel as the "Kami trio"). If anything, Reshiram's blue iris and black(as opposed to white) sclera are a reference to Zekrom's blue electricity and black color, while Zekrom's red iris and white sclera (the pupil is still black, but I think the pupil always has to be black in most cases) reference Reshiram's white color and fire. It's unknown what Kyurem's yellow eyes allude to(note that parts of Kyurem glow yellow a little when it does it's animation in Pokedex 3D).[[User:SunFlareO0|SunFlareO0]] 15:31, 21 September 2011 (UTC)

== Similar Name Endings ==
Is it worth noting that the trio have 'Ram', 'Rom' and 'Rem' as the ends of their names? They seem too similar for it to be pure coincidence. Perhaps it shouldn't go into the Trivia without providing some sort of reason for this, but maybe it's worth researching? I've looked around and can't find any explanation myself. ----[[User:Valkyria|Valkyria]] ''([[User talk:Valkyria|Talk]])'' 23:00, 2 March 2011 (UTC)

== Elemental fangs and punches ==

Is it important to add on the travia that the tao trio members share their secondary types with the elemental fangs and punches?

*And burn, paralysis and freeze from their types resemble tri attack. Nickvang 12:12 2 july 2011

== God Stone? ==

Should the [[God Stone]] be noted in this article? It is an [[List of dummied out items|unobtainable]] key item in Black/White that is probably related to Kyurem, like the Dark Stone and Light Stone being related to Reshiram and Zekrom respectively.

== Two official artworks? ==

How come Black Kyurem and White Kyurem have two official artworks? I'm not saying it's a mistake or even a lie, you can easily check that it's true by watching the Flash intro animation of the Japanese website. But that's the issue here: why are there two different yet official artworks for both of Kyurem's new Formes? [[User:Pokemon lover|Sato]][[User talk:Pokemon lover|Mew]] 17:33, 15 March 2012 (UTC)
:There's also two artworks for Reshiram and Zekrom (lit up and not lit up). They are apparently some "mode" (Formes with forms?). We don't really know much about them yet. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 13:36, 17 March 2012 (UTC)

I have the same opinion. The boxart may be some kind of 'mode' as in 'burst mode'or something. The boxart of White Kyurem looks vaguely similar to the art of primal dialga. The pic aforementioned is present in the bulbapedia archive. Please give ur thoughts on this post.[[User:Auraguardian197|Auraguardian197]]

i think it has to do with its ability. the glowing might be from turboblaze ant terravolt to white/black kyurem respectively. -{{u|deoxys80}}

[[:a:File:644Zekrom.png|Normal Zekrom]], [[:a:File:644Zekrom-Activated.png|Overdrive Zekrom]]. It has nothing to do with abilities, or moves, or formes.

== Trivia? ==

Would it be relevant and/or noteworthy to add that these games mark the second time the main series Pokémon games have the number 2 in their names, with the first time being the name initially announced for the original Gold and Silver ('''{{tt|ポケットモンスター２金・銀|Poketto Monsutā 2: Kin Gin}}''' ''Pocket Monsters 2: Gold and Silver'')? Even though the 2 was eventually dropped for Gold and Silver, it was still an official yet temporary name. [[User:Pokemon lover|Sato]][[User talk:Pokemon lover|Mew]] 17:49, 15 March 2012 (UTC)
:I'm totally for this. Something like: "These games are the first games in the main series to be released with a "2" in their name, though the Japanese versions of G/S were intended to have tis number in their name but this was dropped before release" ?? As long as there's a nod to the almost-Pkmn 2: G/S thing I think it's a great idea! [[User:Oshawhat?|Oshawhat?]] 09:14, 12 April 2012 (UTC)

== Parameter on the Japanese website URL ==

== Second set of direct sequels? ==

Aren't Black 2 and White 2 the second set of direct sequels in the main series? Gold and Silver are direct sequels to Red and Green (likewise, HeartGold and SoulSilver are direct sequels to FireRed and LeafGreen). The only difference is that they're from separate generations, since for all we know, Black 2 and White 2 are Generation V games like Black and White. If so, shouldn't this be mentioned in the article? [[User:Pokemon lover|Sato]][[User talk:Pokemon lover|Mew]] 22:31, 15 March 2012 (UTC)
:Considering that it hasn't even really been confirmed that these are sequels, I'd say no. Wait until we know for sure at least. [[User:Yamiidenryuu|Yamiidenryuu]] 00:11, 16 March 2012 (UTC)

== Australian Release Date ==

In the infobox, it lists the Australian release as Spring 2012. At first this really confused me as I thought only Japan got it this Spring. Because of the different seasons in the Northern and Southern hemisphere, and because a lot of Bulbapedia's users come from the Northern Hemisphere, could we add a tooltip to make it {{tt|Spring 2012|Northern Hemisphere Fall/Autumn}}. I think this would help a lot of people who came to the site. [[User:MajesticRayquaza|''Majestic'']][[User talk:MajesticRayquaza|'''Rayquaza''']] 09:08, 9 April 2012 (UTC)
:I don't think so. The seasons will become irrelevant once we get an actual date, and the only people who should really be concerned with the release date are the people it applies to (i.e. Oceanians.) Plus it might seem unfair. If we put a note for the Northerners that South Spring = North Autumn, then we should do the same for Southerners that North Autumn = South Spring.

== Amazon release date ==

Not sure if this means anything but I just saw that Amazon (through the official Nintendo seller) has the two versions up for pre-order with a release date of December 31, 2012 (I'm not sure if that's their generic date for an unknown release or the actual date though). [[User:OnixPachirisu|OnixPachirisu]] 18:52, 9 April 2012 (UTC)

== Unova Ice unconfirmed. ==

(Yeah, I know somebody already posted something like this...)
I don't think we should say that Unova is engulfed in ice, unless that is specifically confirmed. Maybe the ice is just there to cover up the other changes of Unova just for now, and I think if that much of Unova was covered in ice, there would only be like, three gyms. I think we should remove the part saying that part of Unova is covered in ice, because that is just speculation from the art, we have no proof that this is confirmed. [[User:Zarthga|Zarthga]] 07:23, 20 April 2012 (UTC)
:"I think if that much of Unova was covered in ice, there would only be like, three gyms." Castelia, Nimbasa, Driftveil, Mistralton and Opelucid aren't covered in ice. And there will be two new leaders, Shizui and Homika, totalizing seven citites with gyms that aren't covered in ice.

We don't really know if it is Gen V, but the fact that it uses forms of a Gen V Pokemon as its mascot make if all but confirmed. The way it looks, at least for now, is that they decided to ditch the 3rd game idea for this Gen and instead do two full sequels to BW.

How come Black Kyurem and White Kyurem have two official artworks?

I have the same opinion. The boxart may be some kind of 'mode' as in 'burst mode'or something. The boxart of White Kyurem looks vaguely similar to the art of primal dialga. The pic aforementioned is present in the bulbapedia archive. Please give ur thoughts on this post.[[User:Auraguardian197|Auraguardian197]]

== Trivia? ==

Would it be relevant and/or noteworthy to add that these games mark the second time the main series Pokémon games have the number 2 in their names, with the first time being the name initially announced for the original Gold and Silver ('''{{tt|ポケットモンスター２金・銀|Poketto Monsutā 2: Kin Gin}}''' ''Pocket Monsters 2: Gold and Silver'')? Even though the 2 was eventually dropped for Gold and Silver, it was still an official yet temporary name. [[User:Pokemon lover|Sato]][[User talk:Pokemon lover|Mew]] 17:49, 15 March 2012 (UTC)
:I'm totally for this. Something like: "These games are the first games in the main series to be released with a "2" in their name, though the Japanese versions of G/S were intended to have tis number in their name but this was dropped before release" ?? As long as there's a nod to the almost-Pkmn 2: G/S thing I think it's a great idea! [[User:Oshawhat?|Oshawhat?]] 09:14, 12 April 2012 (UTC)

== Second set of direct sequels? ==

Aren't Black 2 and White 2 the second set of direct sequels in the main series? Gold and Silver are direct sequels to Red and Green (likewise, HeartGold and SoulSilver are direct sequels to FireRed and LeafGreen). The only difference is that they're from separate generations, since for all we know, Black 2 and White 2 are Generation V games like Black and White. If so, shouldn't this be mentioned in the article? [[User:Pokemon lover|Sato]][[User talk:Pokemon lover|Mew]] 22:31, 15 March 2012 (UTC)

== Australian Release Date ==

In the infobox, it lists the Australian release as Spring 2012. At first this really confused me as I thought only Japan got it this Spring. Because of the different seasons in the Northern and Southern hemisphere, and because a lot of Bulbapedia's users come from the Northern Hemisphere, could we add a tooltip to make it {{tt|Spring 2012|Northern Hemisphere Fall/Autumn}}.

== Unova Ice unconfirmed. ==

(Yeah, I know somebody already posted something like this...)
I don't think we should say that Unova is engulfed in ice, unless that is specifically confirmed. Maybe the ice is just there to cover up the other changes of Unova just for now, and I think if that much of Unova was covered in ice, there would only be like, three gyms. I think we should remove the part saying that part of Unova is covered in ice, because that is just speculation from the art, we have no proof that this is confirmed. [[User:Zarthga|Zarthga]] 07:23, 20 April 2012 (UTC)
:"I think if that much of Unova was covered in ice, there would only be like, three gyms." Castelia, Nimbasa, Driftveil, Mistralton and Opelucid aren't covered in ice. And there will be two new leaders, Shizui and Homika, totalizing seven citites with gyms that aren't covered in ice.

:::Your message doesn't make sense. We don't need to put up any sort of notes and disclaimers because people should already know the season differences the hemispheres have. Do we need to explain why the sky is blue in the anime? Not only that, but it is rude to our readers in the Southern Hemisphere. We don't put any sort of disclaimers that Autumn in the Northern Hemisphere means their Spring. They already know the difference. I'm not going to alter the information just because of someone else's ignorance.

::::How does it not make sense. It should and is common knowledge, but multiple people obviously don't get the difference. It's a waste to continually have this page cluttered with this issue. This is the third time (IIRC) this question has been asked on this page, the forums see it multiple times as well. It's annoying to see this question asked numerous times every week. Putting something up would stop people from asking about this and stop all the useless posts on this. --[[User:HoennMaster|Hoenn]][[User talk:HoennMaster|Master]] 20:39, 22 April 2012 (UTC)
:::::<nowiki>*</nowiki>bobs his head out of the shadows* Hi, I'm from the far lands, also known as the Southern Hemisphere. Things in here, despite what they might seem like, are the opposite to the Northern Hemisphere (at least in the weather department, no, food doesn't eat people here -that's only in Rand McNally-). Stuff such as S. H. related articles and release dates for this side of the world are kept in the Southern Hemisphere standards so that we don't get confused as to when either things get released or... well... mostly dates, Australia and New Zealand amongst few others speak English, so it's a bit unfair for them. This is something you learn in elementary school, if they don't know it, tough luck, they do now. So yeah, we are not changing the seasons for them to fit the Northern Hemisphere standards. Besides, once the games are released, we'll see the actual dates, so there will be no place for confusion. [[User:Masatoshi|Masatoshi]][[User_talk:Masatoshi|''talk'']] 20:42, 22 April 2012 (UTC)

'''Groudon''' (Japanese: '''グラードン''' ''Groudon'') is a character from ''[[M06|Jirachi: Wish Maker]]''.

==History==
[[File:Groudon Fossil.png|200px|thumb|left|Groudon fossil in Butler's presentation to Team Magma]]
[[Butler]] was assigned by [[Team Magma]] to bring a Groudon back to life using a fossil of the prehistoric Pokémon. Unfortunately his experiment failed as his machine lacked the proper amount of power. This got Butler exiled from Team Magma, and was the sole event that caused his hatred to boil and to seek revenge on the organization. Butler then planned to use the power of the millennium comet to complete his experiment, and was in need of a {{p|Jirachi}} which could channel the comet's energy. Some time later, Butler found the {{mov|Jirachi|Jirachi|06}} he had been searching for in the land of [[Forina]].
[[File:Brock and May in a bubble.png|200px|thumb|left|{{an|Brock}} and {{an|May}} inside the fake Groudon]]
[[File:Jirachi Doom Desire.png|275px|thumb|right|Being hit with Jirachi's Doom Desire]]
After the Jirachi had awaken from its thousand year sleep, Butler successfully finished his experiment. Unfortunately, his creation was pure evil, rogue, and began absorbing the energy from the earth as well as living organisms such as plants, people, and Pokémon; including {{an|May}}, {{an|Brock}}, [[Diane]], [[Jessie]], [[James]], [[Meowth (Team Rocket)|Meowth]], and many of the wild Pokémon; with gelatinous tentacles expelled from its spikes. After seeing the error of his ways, Butler decided to aid {{Ash}} in destroying his own creation by reversing the polarity of his machine. However the Groudon had to be near the machine for it to work, and Jirachi had to once again charge the energy gained from the comet. Butler distracted the Groudon on his {{p|Salamence}} while Ash and {{an|Max}} rode on the back of a wild {{p|Flygon}} to Butler's machine. They barely escape being eaten themselves when Salamence swoops in front of the Flygon. Salamence however is caught in the tentacle and Butler is sent falling to his doom, only to be rescued by Jirachi {{m|Teleport|teleporting}} his Salamence under him just in time to catch his fall. Once Jirachi is fully charged, Butler, his Salamence, and the Flygon are caught by the Groudon who has enveloped the machine with its enormous body. Jirachi unleashes his {{m|Doom Desire}} and sends the Groudon high in the air where it is then obliterated.

After the Groudon was defeated, all of the people and Pokémon it had eaten were revitalized.
{{clear}}

==Trivia==
* Although it looked as though the Groudon "drawing" that Butler made was complete, it wasn't truly finished and was what caused the appearance of the Groudon he created to change.
*It was never revealed why this creation was pure evil.
* "Groudon" seems to vaguely resemble {{p|Deoxys}}.

Talk:List of glitches in Generation II

2012-04-27T05:44:41Z

Drakko: /* The 'Coward' Glitch */

==Sex change glitch==
I can't test this as I no longer have a working copy of a Generation II game, but if I'm remembering this correctly, a Pokémon caught in Generation I will become whatever sex it's named when it's traded to Generation II (like, a Pikachu caught in Red and nicknamed "Pikachu♀" would become a female Pikachu when traded to Generation II). I don't remember how this affected exclusive-gender Pokémon though. [[User:Dannyjenn|Dannyjenn]] 17:07, 23 March 2012 (UTC)
:I highly doubt that would work. However, if someone can test this, that would be great. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 04:04, 24 March 2012 (UTC)

== The 'Coward' Glitch ==

I've found a glitch in Pokémon Silver, not sure about Gold and Crystal yet.

If you go into battle with no Pokémon (and I mean at all) and the game acts as if you've won, even though you don't battle in the first place. ''Drakko'' 16:30, 15 April 2012 (UTC)
:How do you end up with no Pokémon in your party? --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 10:42, 25 April 2012 (UTC)

I started the game, ignored Professor Elm's lab, used the walk through walls cheat, and just kept walking. ''Drakko'' 05:44, 27 April 2012 (UTC)

== GS Present as a glitch?! ==

Why is the damage formula of Present from Gold and Silver considered a glitch? It does not appear to have been an unintentional behavior of the games. In fact, all it seems is that Game Freak wanted the move to be "{{tt|special|not in the sense of damage categories}}" intentionally but then decided against it in Crystal so they changed it. Then that change was taken into account when Stadium 2 was developed. [[User:SatoMew2|Sato]][[User talk:SatoMew2|Mew]] 21:39, 15 April 2012 (UTC)
:Everything about it screams glitch. Especially "Present only inflicts a quarter of the normal damage against Rock-type and Steel-type Pokémon." It replaces the opponent's defense stat with the index number of the attacking Pokémon's secondary type. The only time moves are majorly changed within a generation is when there is a glitch, because it messes up link battles so much. Such a drastic change would only have occurred if its effect was due to a glitch. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 10:42, 25 April 2012 (UTC)

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

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

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Gallade have a white lower body that consists of bold rounded hips with strong legs. His torso is thin and colored in a balance between the green of his upper body, and the white of his lower body. Sharp red hornlike protrusions stick out of the chest and back, similar to {{p|Gardevoir}}. Gallade's arms are shaped like {{wp|tonfa}}s, with extendable blades in the elbows. His head resembles a gladiator's helmet, with a white face and a light-teal colored head crest. Like his counterpart Gardevoir, Gallade has spikes on the sides of his face.

====Gender differences====
Gallade is a male-only species. Some consider {{p|Gardevoir}} to be the female counterpart although Gardevoir can be of either gender.

===Special abilities===
Thanks to Gallade's arm blades, which can be withdrawn and extended to two lengths, he can learn a variety of sword-like attacks in several types. These include {{m|Leaf Blade}}, {{m|Night Slash}}, and the rarely known {{m|Psycho Cut}}. He is one of two non-{{type2|Grass}} Pokémon that can learn Leaf Blade. As with other {{type2|Fighting}} Pokémon, Gallade can summon {{m|Earthquake}}s, and launch rocks at his opponents (in the forms of {{m|Stone Edge}}, {{m|Rock Slide}} or {{m|Rock Tomb}}). He can also learn punching attacks like the elemental punches, and the rare {{m|Drain Punch}}. He has one of the greatest varieties of moves. Since Gallade is a fully-evolved Pokémon, he can learn {{m|Hyper Beam}} or {{m|Giga Impact}}.

===Behavior===
Gallade are masters of courtesy and swordsmanship, defending the weak from harm. They attack in fierce onslaughts against their foes.

===Habitat===
Gallade hide up in very tall trees, watching for trouble. When the time is right, they leap from their homes to forewarn civilians or fight enemies.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

==In the anime==
[[Image:Gallade anime.png|thumb|right|250px|Gallade in the anime]]
===Major appearances===
A Gallade under [[Zoey]]'s command made his TV episode debut in ''[[DP177|A Grand Fight for Winning!]]'' where it battled {{an|Dawn}}'s {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}} and {{TP|Dawn|Togekiss}} along with [[Zoey's Glameow]] in the [[Sinnoh Grand Festival]] finals.

===Minor appearances===
Gallade made a minor appearance in the 10th movie, ''[[M10|The Rise of Darkrai]]''. One led [[Alice]], {{Ash}}, {{an|Dawn}} and {{an|Brock}} to the area that [[Baron Alberto]] believed {{OBP|Darkrai|M10}} had first "infected". He reappeared some time later.

==Trivia==
* Gallade's {{stat|Attack}} and {{stat|Special Attack}} are the reverse of Gardevoir's.
* Gallade's number in the [[List of Pokémon by Sinnoh Pokédex number|Sinnoh Pokédex]] ({{v2|Platinum}} only) and the [[List of Pokémon by Almia Browser number|Almia Browser]] are the same: 160.
* Gallade has the same weight as {{p|Blaziken}}, another dual-typed final form {{type2|Fighting}} Pokémon whose first form only has its primary type.
* Gallade is the only non-{{type|Grass}} Pokémon that is able to learn {{m|Leaf Blade}} by levelling up.
* Gallade can learn five moves with an above average chance of inflicting a critical hit; more than any other Pokémon.
* Gallade has the highest {{stat|Special Defense}} of all non-legendary {{type|Fighting}} Pokémon. He shares this trait with {{p|Scrafty}}.
* Despite Gallade's HGSS Pokédex entry, he cannot have {{a|Telepathy}} as an ability.

====Origin====
The single fin on Gallade's head resembles the helmet worn by {{wp|Murmillo|Murmillo-class}} Roman {{wp|Gladiator|gladiators}} or the {{wp|Corinthian helmet}} (with a horsehair crest) that was worn by Greek {{wp|Hoplite|hoplites}}. He may also be based on medieval {{wp|Knight|knights}}. Additionally, his battle stances (depicted in-game and in artwork) resemble the ''en garde'' position and parries of {{wp|Fencing|modern fencing}}.

====Name origin====
Gallade may be a portmanteau of 'gallant', and 'blade', and may also be a reference to Roman gladiators and {{wp|Galahad|Sir Galahad}}. Erureido might be a portmanteau of '{{wp|Earl}}' (in antiquity, a chieftain or military leader; in present day, a rank in the {{wp|Peerage|British nobility}}), or 'elbow', and 'blade', referring to the sword-like appendages on its arms. Or, in accordance with the musical origin of Ralts and the French Gardevoir, it could be based on 'ballade', French for 'ballad', a type of French poetry.

I think it should be "Rej-ice", even though I like "Reh-jee-ice" better. I mean, there's only 1 "i". Or maybe we could include both in it? [[User:Yinyang1195|Yin]][[User talk:Yinyang1195|Yang]] 19:46, 22 November 2008 (UTC)

I only made this here because there isn't a talk page for Frost Breath and I don't know Wiki coding. It says that Regice can learn Frost Breath "despite having no orifice to expel breath from", but look at the anime Blizzard thing. Shall we take the Frost Breath bit off?

'''Watchog''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ミルホッグ''' ''Miruhog'') is a {{type2|Normal}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolve]]s from {{p|Patrat}} starting at [[level]] 20.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Watchog is an upright, meerkat-like Pokémon with large cheeks and a single, pointed incisor sticking out of its mouth. It is mainly a shade of reddish brown, with its cheeks and neck beige, and a pattern of yellow striping on its chest and tail, with the striping on its chest resembling a vest. Its hands, feet and tail tip are white-colored. Its eyes have an unusual pattern surrounding a small black pupil, with two red ring-like stripes separated by a third, yellow stripe. Black markings accentuate the eyes at their outer ends.

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

===Special abilities===
[[File:Lenora Watchog Illuminate.png|thumb|200px|left|Watchog {{a|Illuminate|illuminating}}]]
Its cheeks can hold a large amounts of seeds, which it collects. Watchog possess night vision and can view its surroundings in the darkness. If that fails, then some Watchog can {{a|Illuminate|light up}} their stripes to see their surroundings.

===Behavior===
It collects, and attacks, with the seeds it collects in its cheek sacks. When it spots an enemy it stands with its tail erect and will intimidate enemies by shining its body patterns at them.

==In the anime==
[[File:Lenora Watchog.png|thumb|240px|Watchog in the anime]]
===Major appearances===
[[Lenora]]'s Watchog debuted in ''[[BW014|A Night in the Nacrene City Museum!]]'' where it used its {{a|Illuminate}} to reveal {{p|Yamask}}'s presence. It battled {{Ash}} in ''[[BW015|The Battle According to Lenora!]]'' and defeated his {{AP|Oshawott}} with {{m|Thunderbolt}}. It appeared again in ''[[BW016|Rematch at the Nacrene Gym!]]'', where it was defeated by Oshawott's {{m|Aqua Jet}}.

===Minor appearances===
Three Watchog appeared in ''[[BW025|Emolga and the New Volt Switch!]]''.

==In the manga==

==Trivia==
* Watchog is the only Pokémon to have the same {{EV}} yield as its {{p|Patrat|pre-evolution}}, and the only evolved Pokémon to only give a single EV, giving 1 EV in Attack.
* Although its Pokédex entry states that Watchog can spit seeds from the fruit in its cheek pouches, it cannot learn Bullet Seed.

===Origin===
Watchog is based on a {{wp|groundhog}} and possibly a {{wp|meerkat}}. Its design is based on a road worker, with the body resembling a {{wp|personal protective equipment|protective suit}} and the yellow stripes forming a {{wp|high visibility clothing|safety vest}}.

====Name origin====
Watchog originates from ''watch'' and ''groundhog''. It may also be a pun on {{wp|guard dog|watchdog}}s, dogs used to guard. ''Miruhog'' seems to come from 見る ''miru'', to observe, ''meerkat'' and ''groundhog''.

== More Kyurem discussion... (MOVE PROPOSAL) ==

Quote from the little blurb above the article title as of 10/27/2010:
"As you update with Black and White information, make sure it is confirmed. '''Other fan sites are not reliable sources of information.'''" Boldface not mine.

Kyurem is not confirmed to be related to the other two; for all we know, the third member of the trio could be another Pokémon, or it could just be a duo. I say that the article be moved to "Yin-yang duo" or something else relating to just Reshiram and Zekrom, and Kyurem should be added to trivia as a popular fan candidate to be the third member. [[User:Bwburke94|Bwburke94]] 16:50, 27 October 2010 (UTC)
:How much confirmation do you need? Look at their learnsets. Look at the Fire-Ice-Lightning motifs. Their theme music is also similar. There are slight dissimilarities between the two mascots and Kyurem, but you have to admit that there are a lot of parallels, just like there were with Rayquaza and Giratina previously. --[[User:AndyPKMN|AndyPKMN]] 18:28, 27 October 2010 (UTC)
::I'd like to add that, although it is VERY likely Kyurem is the third member, wasn't this discouraged with Platinum despite Giratina being all but 100% confirmed, as there was a small chance that it may not be Giratina? I'd say add a tag to the page explaining that this trio is not 100% confirmed, but is based on information we have now, just because it seems more professional that way --[[User:Shadowater|Shadowater]] 01:23, 24 January 2011 (UTC)

== Interesting trivia? ==

I noticed something. No two members have the same number of claws. Reshiram has four, Zekrom has three and Kyurem has two. [[User:Angela-Samshi|Angela-Samshi]] 19:22, 15 November 2010 (UTC)

Also, should it be noted that they share their types with the legendary birds, the first trio? ([[User:Divdax|Divdax]] 22:08, 24 November 2010 (UTC))
:They have them as their secondary type while the Birds have it as their primary type, though I think it can be said that the "Energy Dragon" trio share their secondary types with the Birds primary types? I also now noticed they're reversed too (Ice/Electric/Fire vs. Fire/Electric/Ice). [[User:Angela-Samshi|Angela-Samshi]] 23:47, 24 November 2010 (UTC)

== Mythos or Myths? ==

Is it intentional for the subheading "Mythos" to be called that or is it a typo? --[[User:Landfish7|'''Land''']][[User talk:Landfish7|'''fish7''']]''' 22:34, 12 January 2011 (UTC)
Why are we using Mythos rather than Myths or Mythology? --[[User:Landfish7|'''Land''']][[User talk:Landfish7|'''fish7''']]''' 17:57, 5 February 2011 (UTC)

== real or fandom ==

"Another claim is that Kyurem is the corpse of the original Dragon Pokémon after it had split into Reshiram and Zekrom."

Where does it say this I'm intrigued?
[[User:Vespitomb|Vespi]][[User Talk:Vespitomb|tomb>]] 17:23, 13 February 2011 (UTC)

::There's a story told in BW, which says, there were two kings of Unova, with a single royal dragon, which split into seperate dragons once they started to fight over their ideals. Look at Kyurem, not just is it weaker stat/moveset wise than Reshiram and Zekrom, it also looks weakened. While Reshiram and Zekrom have generators (producing warmth, hence Fire and Electric) on their tails, Kyurem does not. Instead his tail looks like a plug. No generator=cold, hence Ice. This is genious. --[[User:Saiph charon|Saiph charon]] 14:44, 23 February 2011 (UTC)

Some people say Kyurem came from a comet, some say that it's the corpse of the Original Dragon. I believe that both are true, and that the comet people believe to have brought Kyurem struck the leftover shell of the Original Dragon, infusing Kyurem with its Ice powers (comets are made from space dust and ice) and reviving it. [[User:Slate Orchid|Slate Orchid]] 21:44, 17 April 2011 (UTC)

== Eye Colors ==
Should it be added to the trivia that the eye colors of the Tao Trio allude to the three original versions' colors? (Red for Zekrom, Blue for Reshiram, and Yellow for Kyurem?)-- [[User:Swagmander|Swagmander]] 22:58, 15 February 2011 (UTC)
:I wouldn't be so sure. The absolute original versions were Japanese Red and Green, with the third version being Blue. It might be worth a mention that they correspond to the colours of the original english/western versions though? [[User:Oshawhat?|Oshawhat?]] 15:01, 18 February 2011 (UTC)
::There are 4 games, not 3. Maybe they did it referring to Outside of Japan games.
I added it to the trivia. It may be removed if it seems irrelevant at this point, but if Kyurem becomes the mascot of the third version in Gen V (as it most likely will) the yellow eyes will further prove a tie to the first gen colors, as Yellow was a third version.
-- [[User:Swagmander|Swagmander]] 03:35, 19 February 2011 (UTC)
:::I don't think the eye colors are referencing each other in a circle at all. Remember that it is not really an all out trio; it's more like Reshiram and Zekrom are a duo, and Kyurem is more of a standout in the middle(this applies with the other 670 BST+ "trios" as wel as the "Kami trio"). If anything, Reshiram's blue iris and black(as opposed to white) sclera are a reference to Zekrom's blue electricity and black color, while Zekrom's red iris and white sclera (the pupil is still black, but I think the pupil always has to be black in most cases) reference Reshiram's white color and fire. It's unknown what Kyurem's yellow eyes allude to(note that parts of Kyurem glow yellow a little when it does it's animation in Pokedex 3D).[[User:SunFlareO0|SunFlareO0]] 15:31, 21 September 2011 (UTC)

== Similar Name Endings ==
Is it worth noting that the trio have 'Ram', 'Rom' and 'Rem' as the ends of their names? They seem too similar for it to be pure coincidence. Perhaps it shouldn't go into the Trivia without providing some sort of reason for this, but maybe it's worth researching? I've looked around and can't find any explanation myself. ----[[User:Valkyria|Valkyria]] ''([[User talk:Valkyria|Talk]])'' 23:00, 2 March 2011 (UTC)

== Elemental fangs and punches ==

Is it important to add on the travia that the tao trio members share their secondary types with the elemental fangs and punches?

*And burn, paralysis and freeze from their types resemble tri attack. Nickvang 12:12 2 july 2011

== God Stone? ==

Should the [[God Stone]] be noted in this article? It is an [[List of dummied out items|unobtainable]] key item in Black/White that is probably related to Kyurem, like the Dark Stone and Light Stone being related to Reshiram and Zekrom respectively. [[User:ZMT123|ZMT123]] 04:51, 8 January 2012 (UTC)
:Do you have any proof that it's related to Kyurem? [[Typhlosion (Pokémon)|★]][[User:Jo The Marten|Jo the Marten]][[Flygon (Pokémon)|★]] [[User_Talk:Jo The Marten|ಠ_ಠ]][[Cilan (anime)|♥]] 04:53, 8 January 2012 (UTC)
There is no proof that I know of, but it seems related because of its name and appearance. It could be added as trivia. [[User:ZMT123|ZMT123]] 05:01, 8 January 2012 (UTC)
:While it most likely is, you'll just have to wait a few months/years if ever it really is. [[User:Tc26/Anime Predictions|-tc]][[User:Tc26|²₆]][[User talk:Tc26|tc]][[User:Tc26/Sandbox|26-]] 05:17, 8 January 2012 (UTC)
Yes, so may I add it as trivia? [[User:ZMT123|ZMT123]] 18:41, 8 January 2012 (UTC)
:I say no. [[Typhlosion (Pokémon)|★]][[User:Jo The Marten|Jo the Marten]][[Flygon (Pokémon)|★]] [[User_Talk:Jo The Marten|ಠ_ಠ]][[Cilan (anime)|♥]] 18:44, 8 January 2012 (UTC)
::Speculation is not allowed. Until there is proof, it must not be added. Ask again when you have proof. [[User:Werdnae|Werdnae]] [[User talk:Werdnae|(talk)]] 18:50, 8 January 2012 (UTC)

==Protection==
After noticing that the recent bad edits are the result of speculation from the new games, I think this page needs to be recommended for protection to deal with any potential bad edits and therefore decrease the need to revert them. -[[User:Tyler53841|Tyler53841]] 07:45, 29 February 2012 (UTC)

== Trio master ==

Apparently Kyurem was the trio master, '''This is not offense''', but I don't think some could be stupid enough not to understand/know this. True story. The whole page should be edited by now --[[User:Acellutor|Acellutor]] 11:19, 11 March 2012 (UTC)
:We need further proof before we can acknowledge Kyurem is the master of the Tao trio, it doesn't matter if it "looks like" it is, we are based on ''facts'', not speculation; therefore, the Tao trio does ''not'' have a master until proving otherwise.

::It doesn't look like the trio master, '''It is the trio master'''. That was too obvious to agrue. You're gonna wait until Nintendo/Game Freak confirm Kyurem is the trio master? Which I bet 100% they will. Oh wait, they never mention such thing fron Generation 1 lol. I repeat, this is not speculation, Kyurem is the trio master. That's an obvious fact. And I acknowledge that this isn't my wiki either, so I'll leave out for some other guys to edit "Kyurem is the trio master" for about next six months or so. Thanks for all of your wonderful and stupid statements. --[[User:Acellutor|Acellutor]] 04:53, 14 March 2012 (UTC)
:::Let me give you an example of why we shouldn't take things for granted. Remember when the Unova starters were released? [[Talk:List of Pokémon by National Pokédex number#Number of starters|I assumed]] Snivy would be #494 in the [[List of Pokémon by National Pokédex number#Generation V|National Pokédex]], considering what the other gens gave us, and {{p|Victini|guess what happened}}? We, as a wiki aren't supposed to act and pretend things are settled and are supposed to confirm as soon as official information appears on the internet or any other media. We, as a wiki, are neutral and will not post speculation under any circumstances. We, as a wiki assume good faith and are a community. We do not insult fellow users, so I'd appreciate it if you knocked that off. Kyurem, unless proven otherwise, will remain to ''not'' be the Tao Trio master. Thank you.

'''Flygon''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''フライゴン''' ''Flygon'') is a dual-type {{2t|Ground|Dragon}} Pokémon.

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

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Flygon is a large insect-like dragon Pokémon resembling a slightly reptilian bipedal dragonfly, primarily light green in color. Flygon has a pair of large green rhombus-shaped wings with a red trim, toeless hind legs and skinny arms with three-clawed hands. Flygon's tail has several dark green stripes and three small green rhombus shapes with red trims at the end. Flygon has red-lensed "goggles" covering its eyes and a pair of green antennae which point back.

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

====Special abilities====
Aside from being able to kick up {{m|sandstorm}}s, Flygon's other ability is {{a|Levitate}}, which allows it to avoid {{t|Ground}} attacks such as {{m|Earthquake}} or {{m|Magnitude}}. Its wings also seem to be "singing" when they are flapped, because Flygon flaps its wings at incredibly high speed, which also allows it to fly at unmatched speed.

Also like Vibrava, Flygon also gains access to {{m|Draco Meteor}}.

===Behavior===
This dragon Pokémon is highly adapted to life in the desert. It's also known as "the spirit of the desert" due to the sound its wings make in sandstorms. When it flaps its wings, it inadvertently kicks up a cloud of dust, which serves to protect it from potential enemies. Its eyes are covered with thick lenses, which prevent particles of sand from disturbing its vision. The flapping wings create a very unusual "singing" sound. Because this sound is usually heard in the presence of sandstorms, the incredible speed this Pokémon flies with, and the reduction of sight in a sandstorm, it was thought that this Pokémon was the spirit of the desert.

===Habitat===
[[File:Roughterrain.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Rough-terrain Pokémon}}]]
Although Flygon are hard to find in the wild, they are often seen in deserts punished by harsh sandstorms, often caused by themselves. Most Flygon belong to trainers, mainly from evolved {{p|Vibrava}}, either caught in the wild or previously evolved from a {{p|Trapinch}}.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

==In the anime==
[[File:Drew Flygon.png|225px|thumb|right|Flygon in the anime]]
===Major appearances===
[[Drew]]'s Flygon made its debut in ''[[AG123|Rhapsody in Drew]]''.

===Minor appearances===
Flygon first appeared in ''[[M06|Jirachi: Wish Maker]]''. It helped save {{mov|Jirachi|Jirachi|6}} from [[Butler]].

Another Flygon appeared in a flashback of a [[Pokémon Coordinator]] in ''[[AG060|Delcatty Got Your Tongue?]]''.

A Flygon also appeared in ''[[M11|Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]''.

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

===Pokédex entries===
{{Animedexheader|Hoenn}}
{{Animedexbody|AG123|Flygon|Ash's Pokédex|Flygon, the Mystic Pokémon. Flygon is the evolved form of Vibrava. It's known as the desert spirit because of the song-like voice that eminates from the {{m|sandstorm}}s it kicks up.}}
{{Animedexfooter/Pokémon|''Advanced Generation''|Hoenn}}

==In the manga==
[[File:Wally Flygon.png|thumb|Flygon in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
A Flygon was one of the Pokémon belonging to [[Norman]], who mostly used it for aerial transport. After taking {{adv|Wally}} under his wing for the sake of awaking {{p|Rayquaza}}, he gave it to the boy.

==Trivia==
* Flygon and its pre-evolution, {{p|Vibrava}}, share several characteristics usually associated with types other than theirs:
** Their evolutionary line, along with the {{p|Gligar}} line, are the only evolutionary families to be in the {{egg3|Bug}} with no {{type|Bug}} members.
** Vibrava and Flygon are the only {{type2|Dragon}} Pokémon not in the {{egg3|Dragon}}.
* Flygon shares the same [[species]] name with {{p|Xatu}}. They are both known as Mystic Pokémon.
* Like {{p|Haxorus}} and {{p|Aggron}}, Flygon is commonly mistaken as a [[pseudo-legendary Pokémon]], due to the fact that it is seen as powerful in the anime, is the final stage in a 3 part evolutionary line, and is a {{type|Dragon}} Pokémon. This is not the case, because it does not have a base stat total of 600.
* Flygon has the same base {{stat|Attack}} as its base form, {{p|Trapinch}}.
* All of Vibrava's [[base stats]] go up by exactly 30 points when it evolves into Flygon.
* Flygon's [[Effort values|EV Yield]] (1 Attack, 2 Speed) is unique.
* Despite the fact that Flygon can create sandstorms at will, it cannot have the ability {{a|Sand Stream}}.

===Origin===
{{Bulbanews|On the Origin of Species: Trapinch, Vibrava and Flygon}}
Flygon is based on the winged, adult stage of the {{wp|antlion}}, which highly resembles a dragonfly. Often the adult antlion and dragonfly are confused with one another, and Flygon could draw inspiration from both. In fact, some species of dragonflies are commonly called "sand dragons", which could account for Vibrava and Flygon's interesting typing. In keeping with its Dragon type, it also possesses a dragonlike build and reptilian features such as its arms and tail.

====Name origin====
Flygon's name is a portmanteau of ''fly'' and ''dragon''. It may also be a partial anagram of ''{{wp|dragonfly}}''.

'''Flygon''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''フライゴン''' ''Flygon'') is a dual-type {{2t|Ground|Dragon}} Pokémon.

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

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Flygon is a large insect-like dragon Pokémon resembling a slightly reptilian bipedal dragonfly, primarily light green in color. Flygon has a pair of large green rhombus-shaped wings with a red trim, toeless hind legs and skinny arms with three-clawed hands. Flygon's tail has several dark green stripes and three small green rhombus shapes with red trims at the end. Flygon has red-lensed "goggles" covering its eyes and a pair of green antennae which point back.

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

====Special abilities====
Aside from being able to kick up {{m|sandstorm}}s, Flygon's other ability is {{a|Levitate}}, which allows it to avoid {{t|Ground}} attacks such as {{m|Earthquake}} or {{m|Magnitude}}. Its wings also seem to be "singing" when they are flapped, because Flygon flaps its wings at incredibly high speed, which also allows it to fly at unmatched speed.

Also like Vibrava, Flygon also gains access to {{m|Draco Meteor}}.

===Behavior===
This dragon Pokémon is highly adapted to life in the desert. It's also known as "the spirit of the desert" due to the sound its wings make in sandstorms. When it flaps its wings, it inadvertently kicks up a cloud of dust, which serves to protect it from potential enemies. Its eyes are covered with thick lenses, which prevent particles of sand from disturbing its vision. The flapping wings create a very unusual "singing" sound. Because this sound is usually heard in the presence of sandstorms, the incredible speed this Pokémon flies with, and the reduction of sight in a sandstorm, it was thought that this Pokémon was the spirit of the desert.

===Habitat===
[[File:Roughterrain.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Rough-terrain Pokémon}}]]
Although Flygon are hard to find in the wild, they are often seen in deserts punished by harsh sandstorms, often caused by themselves. Most Flygon belong to trainers, mainly from evolved {{p|Vibrava}}, either caught in the wild or previously evolved from a {{p|Trapinch}}.

===Diet===

Another Flygon appeared in a flashback of a [[Pokémon Coordinator]] in ''[[AG060|Delcatty Got Your Tongue?]]''.

A Flygon also appeared in ''[[M11|Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]''.

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

===Pokédex entries===
{{Animedexheader|Hoenn}}
{{Animedexbody|AG123|Flygon|Ash's Pokédex|Flygon, the Mystic Pokémon. Flygon is the evolved form of Vibrava. It's known as the desert spirit because of the song-like voice that eminates from the {{m|sandstorm}}s it kicks up.}}

===Pokédex entries===
{{Dex

==Trivia==
* Flygon and its pre-evolution, {{p|Vibrava}}, share several characteristics usually associated with types other than theirs:
** Their evolutionary line, along with the {{p|Gligar}} line, are the only evolutionary families to be in the {{egg3|Bug}} with no {{type|Bug}} members.
** Vibrava and Flygon are the only {{type2|Dragon}} Pokémon not in the {{egg3|Dragon}}.
* Flygon shares the same [[species]] name with {{p|Xatu}}. They are both known as Mystic Pokémon.
* Like {{p|Haxorus}} and {{p|Aggron}}, Flygon is commonly mistaken as a [[pseudo-legendary Pokémon]], due to the fact that it is seen as powerful in the anime, is the final stage in a 3 part evolutionary line, and is a {{type|Dragon}} Pokémon. This is not the case, because it does not have a base stat total of 600.
* Flygon has the same base {{stat|Attack}} as its base form, {{p|Trapinch}}.
* All of Vibrava's [[base stats]] go up by exactly 30 points when it evolves into Flygon.
* Flygon's [[Effort values|EV Yield]] (1 Attack, 2 Speed) is unique.
* Despite the fact that Flygon can create sandstorms at will, it cannot have the ability {{a|Sand Stream}} or learn {{m|Sandstorm}} via level-up.

===Origin===
{{Bulbanews|On the Origin of Species: Trapinch, Vibrava and Flygon}}
Flygon is based on the winged, adult stage of the {{wp|antlion}}, which highly resembles a dragonfly. Often the adult antlion and dragonfly are confused with one another, and Flygon could draw inspiration from both. In fact, some species of dragonflies are commonly called "sand dragons", which could account for Vibrava and Flygon's interesting typing. In keeping with its Dragon type, it also possesses a dragonlike build and reptilian features such as its arms and tail.

====Name origin====
Flygon's name is a portmanteau of ''fly'' and ''dragon''. It may also be a partial anagram of ''{{wp|dragonfly}}''.

'''Flygon''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''フライゴン''' ''Flygon'') is a dual-type {{2t|Ground|Dragon}} Pokémon.

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

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Flygon is a large insect-like dragon Pokémon resembling a slightly reptilian bipedal dragonfly, primarily light green in color. Flygon has a pair of large green rhombus-shaped wings with a red trim, toeless hind legs and skinny arms with three-clawed hands. Flygon's tail has several dark green stripes and three small green rhombus shapes with red trims at the end. Flygon has red-lensed "goggles" covering its eyes and a pair of green antennae which point back.

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

====Special abilities====
Aside from being able to kick up {{m|sandstorm}}s, Flygon's other ability is {{a|Levitate}}, which allows it to avoid {{t|Ground}} attacks such as {{m|Earthquake}} or {{m|Magnitude}}. Its wings also seem to be "singing" when they are flapped, because Flygon flaps its wings at incredibly high speed, which also allows it to fly at unmatched speed.

Also like Vibrava, Flygon also gains access to {{m|Draco Meteor}}.

===Behavior===
This dragon Pokémon is highly adapted to life in the desert. It's also known as "the spirit of the desert" due to the sound its wings make in sandstorms. When it flaps its wings, it inadvertently kicks up a cloud of dust, which serves to protect it from potential enemies. Its eyes are covered with thick lenses, which prevent particles of sand from disturbing its vision. The flapping wings create a very unusual "singing" sound. Because this sound is usually heard in the presence of sandstorms, the incredible speed this Pokémon flies with, and the reduction of sight in a sandstorm, it was thought that this Pokémon was the spirit of the desert.

===Habitat===
[[File:Roughterrain.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Rough-terrain Pokémon}}]]
Although Flygon are hard to find in the wild, they are often seen in deserts punished by harsh sandstorms, often caused by themselves. Most Flygon belong to trainers, mainly from evolved {{p|Vibrava}}, either caught in the wild or previously evolved from a {{p|Trapinch}}.

===Diet===

===Pokédex entries===
{{Animedexheader|Hoenn}}
{{Animedexbody|AG123|Flygon|Ash's Pokédex|Flygon, the Mystic Pokémon. Flygon is the evolved form of Vibrava. It's known as the desert spirit because of the song-like voice that eminates from the {{m|sandstorm}}s it kicks up.}}

===Pokédex entries===
{{Dex

==Trivia==
* Flygon and its pre-evolution, {{p|Vibrava}}, share several characteristics usually associated with types other than theirs:
** Their evolutionary line, along with the {{p|Gligar}} line, are the only evolutionary families to be in the {{egg3|Bug}} with no {{type|Bug}} members.
** Vibrava and Flygon are the only {{type2|Dragon}} Pokémon not in the {{egg3|Dragon}}.
* Flygon shares the same [[species]] name with {{p|Xatu}}. They are both known as Mystic Pokémon.
* Like {{p|Haxorus}} and {{p|Aggron}}, Flygon is commonly mistaken as a [[pseudo-legendary Pokémon]], due to the fact that it is seen as powerful in the anime, is the final stage in a 3 part evolutionary line, and is a {{type|Dragon}} Pokémon. This is not the case, because it does not have a base stat total of 600.
* Flygon has the same base {{stat|Attack}} as its base form, {{p|Trapinch}}.
* All of Vibrava's [[base stats]] go up by exactly 30 points when it evolves into Flygon.
* Flygon's [[Effort values|EV Yield]] (1 Attack, 2 Speed) is unique.
* Despite Flygon is said to create sandstorms at will, it cannot have the ability {{a|Sand Stream}} or learn {{m|Sandstorm}} via level-up.

===Origin===
{{Bulbanews|On the Origin of Species: Trapinch, Vibrava and Flygon}}
Flygon is based on the winged, adult stage of the {{wp|antlion}}, which highly resembles a dragonfly. Often the adult antlion and dragonfly are confused with one another, and Flygon could draw inspiration from both. In fact, some species of dragonflies are commonly called "sand dragons", which could account for Vibrava and Flygon's interesting typing. In keeping with its Dragon type, it also possesses a dragonlike build and reptilian features such as its arms and tail.

====Name origin====
Flygon's name is a portmanteau of ''fly'' and ''dragon''. It may also be a partial anagram of ''{{wp|dragonfly}}''.

'''Hitmonchan''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''エビワラー''' ''Ebiwalar'') is a {{type2|Fighting}} Pokémon.

He [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Tyrogue}} starting at [[level]] 20 when Tyrogue's {{stat|Defense}} is higher than his {{stat|Attack}}. He is one of {{p|Tyrogue}}'s [[Hitmons|final forms]], the others being {{p|Hitmonlee}} and {{p|Hitmontop}}.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Hitmonchan is a tan colored, {{DL|List of Pokémon by body style|Pokémon with a bipedal, tailless form|human-shaped}} Pokémon. His body resembles a light purple tunic with a kilt and fists resemble red boxing gloves. His enlarged shoulders give the appearance of shoulder pads. His purple feet give the appearance of a pair of a {{wp|boxer}} shoes. Unlike his parallel evolution, {{p|Hitmonlee}}, he has a mouth and a visible separation between body and head.
====Gender differences====
Hitmonchan is a male-only species with no female counterpart.

===Special abilities===
Hitmonchan's most notable ability is his wide versatility in boxing. His major attacks are almost all punches, making use of the boxing gloves that protect his fists. He used to be [[signature move|the only Pokémon]] who could learn all {{m|ThunderPunch|three}} {{m|Fire Punch|elemental}} {{m|Ice Punch|punches}}.

Hitmonchan are well known for their capability of {{m|Mach Punch|lightning-fast punches}} that are {{m|Bullet Punch|faster than bullet trains}} and {{m|Vacuum Wave|impossible to be seen by the naked human eye}}. When doing this, they sometimes appear as if they are standing still, as the assault is too fast to be seen.

Although they have an extremely well developed talent in {{m|Comet Punch|quick, light blows}}, Hitmonchan can also throw {{m|Mega Punch|power-}}{{m|Focus Punch|packed}} {{m|Close Combat|punches}}. By punching in corkscrew fashion, they are able to punch through solid concrete in the same way as a drill. Like most {{t|Fighting}} Pokémon, he can also learn some {{t|Rock}} and {{t|Ground}} moves.

Before attacking a target, Hitmonchan will spin his arms to increase the power of his attacks. Both his speed and power punches slice the air, and are launched at such a high speed, just a slight graze by one can cause a burn.

===Behavior===
It is widely said that Hitmonchan possesses the spirit of a professional boxer working towards the world championship. With an indomitable spirit pushing him to work harder, he never gives up, especially in the face of adversity. However, he usually needs a short break after each fight he takes part in.

Hitmonchan are known to casually practice and hone their abilities by launching unseen volleys of punches. Since they are not normally found in the wild, it can be hard to determine their behavior without a {{pkmn|Trainer}}'s influence. When under the possession of a Trainer, however, a Hitmonchan will eventually take after the person, as most Pokémon do; he may become a hard worker, striving to become better, or he might fight for bad purposes without question.

===Habitat===
[[File:Urban.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Urban Pokémon}}]]
Hitmonchan are extremely rare in the wild, and have virtually never been seen. He is an urban species that would typically be found near cities or suburbs rather than in forests. But, some Hitmonchan have been known to train in the mountains or at facilities made for such work, such as an abandoned fighting dojo. While it is unknown where they came from originally, they were first found in [[Kanto]].

==In the anime==
[[File:Invicible Pokemon Brothers Hitmonchan.png|240px|thumb|right|Hitmonchan in the anime]]
===Major appearances===
Hitmonchan's first appearance was in ''[[EP029|The Punchy Pokémon]]'' under a Trainer named {{Ka|Anthony}}. He was entered in the [[P1 Grand Prix]], but ended up losing to a {{p|Hitmonlee}} stolen by {{TRT}} because the match was sabotaged.

In ''[[EP090|Stage Fight]]'', Hitmonchan was a major performer in a Pokémon show, where the plot was around a boxing match between him and a glove-wearing {{p|Machoke}}.

In ''[[EP136|Chikorita's Big Upset]]'', one was part of a group of {{type2|Fighting}} Pokémon that roamed the streets of the city as a gang.

===Minor appearances===
In ''[[EP042|Showdown at Dark City]]'', he was one of the Pokémon owned by a [[Yas Gym]] Trainer.

In ''[[EP058|Riddle Me This]]'', Hitmonchan was one of the Pokémon shown in an exercise Gym. Team Rocket tried to steal the group of {{type2|Fighting}} Pokémon, but were stopped by {{Ash}} and {{Ashfr|his friends}}.

[[Bruno]] used a Hitmonchan in ''[[EP071|To Master the Onixpected!]]''.

During ''[[EP084|The Lost Lapras]]'', one was owned by an obnoxious Trainer that used him to attack a beached {{AP|Lapras}}.

[[Rudy]] had a Hitmonchan in ''[[EP103|Misty Meets Her Match]]''.

Hitmonchan also appeared in ''[[M02|The Power of One]]''.

''[[EP166|Two Hits and a Miss]]'' featured a fighting-type dojo where one of the many Pokémon was a Hitmonchan.

In ''[[EP233|A Tyrogue Full of Trouble]]'', Karate King [[Kiyo]] owned one and fought alongside him to break a rolling boulder. He later used Hitmonchan in battle to attempt to capture a wild {{p|Tyrogue}}.

In ''[[EP273|Gotta Catch Ya Later]]'', one was used in battle by one of the [[Invincible Pokémon Brothers]].

Another classic replay of the Hitmonlee versus Hitmonchan battle was performed in ''[[AG145|Pasta La Vista]]''. A Trainer named [[Kyle Hamm|Kyle]] owned a Hitmonchan that was used in battle to decide the fate of [[Master Hamm|his father]]'s fighting dojo.

==Trivia==
* Hitmonchan learns the most increased-priority moves by level up out of all Pokémon, with six.
* Hitmonchan and {{p|Hitmonlee}} are the only Pokémon that weren't previously related through an evolution family, then later gained a shared {{p|Tyrogue|pre-evolution}}.
* Hitmonchan's colors reference the traditional boxing colors, referring to the red corner (normal) and the blue corner ({{Shiny}}).
* In the Pokémon Chronicles episode Cerulean Blues, Hitmonchan was mistakenly referred to as a 'punching-type'.

===Origin===
He may be a personification of {{wp|boxing}}, a fighting style and sport that focuses on punching. His head and "hair" slightly resembles a human hand.

====Name origin====
Hitmonchan is a combination of ''hit'', ''monster'', and ''Chan'' (a reference to {{wp|Jackie Chan}}), perhaps meaning "the monster that hits like Jackie Chan". The name is also related to {{p|Hitmonlee}} and {{p|Hitmontop}}, both of which are parallel evolutions to it as of [[Generation II]].

Ebiwalar is derived from the Japanese world champion boxer, {{wp|Hiroyuki Ebihara}}.

'''Professor Cedric Juniper''' (Japanese: '''アララギ博士''' ''Dr. Araragi'') is [[Professor Juniper]]'s father. He used to be a Pokémon researcher.

==In the games==
Professor Cedric Juniper first meets the {{player}} in [[Mistralton City]] with the [[Skyla|local Gym Leader]], who has just {{m|Fly|flown}} in from another region. He is next seen in [[Icirrus City]], where he gives the player the [[Old Gateau]]. He is then seen in [[Nacrene City]] with [[Lenora]], [[Bianca]], and some other [[Non-player character|NPC]]s. He is not seen again until after the player defeats [[N]] and [[Ghetsis]]. Once the player has met [[Looker]] and gone outside, he approaches the player and upgrades their [[Pokédex]] to the [[National Pokédex|National mode]].

===Quotes===
===={{game|Black and White|s}}====
'''Misltralton City'''
:''"Oh! Hey! <Player>, right? Let me see your Pokédex for a moment. What do we have here? So, you've found <number> Pokémon, eh? Staggering! You've seen a Klink! You're becoming quite the Trainer. Excuse me! I was a little excited and forgot my manners. My name is Juniper, too! Cedric Juniper. Heh! The professor who gave you the Pokédex is my daughter! That girl has told me a lot about you. It really makes my day to meet you! In honor of our meeting, I'm going to upgrade your Pokédex! Some Pokémon can change forms even when it's the same individual. If you have already seen a form, you can check it with this whenever you want. I also added a function to make searching easier."''
:''"Oh! I forgot my introductions! Skyla, this is a friend of my daughter's. <Player> is traveling around Unova to complete the Pokédex."''
:''"That's right, <player>. You should challenge this Gym! If nothing else, this Gym is really out there! See you, Skyla. If something comes up again, I'll let you know!"''
:''"Aww, Skyla. If you keep frowning, your face might freeze like that, and that'd be a shame. People and Pokémon, we all have to help each other out! See you later!"''

'''Icirrus City'''
:''"Hello, <player>! How is <lead Pokémon>? Ah! This <lead Pokémon> has really taken a shine to you. The Pokédex is important, but time spent having fun together is also important. Say, I just had a thought--have you heard of Dragonspiral Tower?"''
*Yes
:''"Really? Quite impressive."''
*No
:''"Eh... I'm not surprised you haven't heard of it."''
:''"OK. Give this story a listen. Dragonspiral Tower is said to be the Unova region's oldest building. Stories say it's the place where legendary Pokémon came to life or where they remain in deep slumber. I know it's just past Icirrus City, but that's all I know about it. That's all anyone knows, because no one has ever been inside. My daughter has wanted to investigate that tower for a long time. "What! There's something I don't know?!" That kind of feeling is pure adventure. And I'm not too old for some adventuring. Away I go to have a look at Dragonspiral Tower! Catch you later!"''

'''Dragonspiral Tower'''
:''"That building serenely towering over everything is Dragonspiral Tower. From far in the past, before Unova was founded, it still stands tall today. On the top floor, so it's been told, the legendary Pokémon is waiting for a person seeking the truth to appear."''

*After getting the {{badge|Freeze}}
:''"Oh, <player>! And you must be Bianca. I'm the other Professor Juniper. The Professor Juniper who gave you the Pokédex is my daughter."''
:''"Is that right? Grand, grand. Actually, we should chat later. <Player>, Bianca, here's the situation. Some members of Team Plasma--quite a large group--broke through the tower wall and went inside. Brycen and that young man--I believe his name is Cheren--the two of them went after Team Plasma, but..."''
:''"Ha! I guess you would be curious. Well, I'll explain briefly. Dragonspiral Tower has stood tall since long before Unova was founded. On the top floor, the legendary Dragon-type Pokémon waits for a person pursuing ideals{{sup|Bl}}/seeking truth{{sup|W}} to appear... That's what it said. Are you going to go after Team Plasma like your friend did? It's admirable of you to join the fight against Team Plasma, but it's risky, too."''
:''"Why, thank you! That makes me feel much safer! Well, <player>! It's up to you! Climb the tower! This is all I can give you, but it might help you rest! Still... What could Team Plasma be after?"''

* After N obtains Zekrom{{sup|Bl}}/Reshiram{{sup|W}}
:''"Astounding... I never would have imagined the legendary Dragon-type Pokémon would return now..."''
:''"Why, if it isn't Alder! It's been a while! Have you been well?"''
:''"Right... Moreover, the boss of Team Plasma, N, who reawakened Zekrom{{sup|Bl}}/Reshiram{{sup|W}}, apparently said to look for the other Pokémon, Reshiram{{sup|Bl}}/Zekrom{{sup|W}}."''
:''"I see. We'll leave that to [[Alder|you]]. I'm going to investigate inside the tower. Hopefully, I'll find something."''
:''"Maybe I should have my daughter look into when this tower was built. If you want someone to investigate the origin of Pokémon, she's the best."''

'''[[Nacrene City]]'''
:''"Surely... When I investigated Dragonspiral Tower, I found elements that were dated to the same era as this Light Stone{{sup|Bl}}/Dark Stone{{sup|W}}!"''
:''"... So how do we wake the Dragon-type Pokémon from the stone, then?"''
:''"Hey, <player>. Never forget that you always have Pokémon right by your side."''

'''[[Nuvema Town]]'''
:''"Oh! Well, this is nice timing! I see you're all here! Just a moment ago, I got some [[National Pokédex]] data from an acquaintance. Since you're here, let's upgrade your Pokédex with the National Pokédex data. I'm sure you'll be visiting a wider range of places, Naturally, that means you'll be encountering more Pokémon. Let me see your Pokédex for a sec!"''
:''"There you go, [[Bianca]]!"''
:''"Next up is [[Cheren]]!"''
:''"And last, but not least..."''
:''"You can now switch your Pokédexes to National Mode Pokédex. Completing the National Pokédex will surely be a big challenge. So, take your time, enjoy yourselves, and meet lots of Pokémon."''

*In Juniper's Lab
:''"Hey, <player>! So you're here to show me how your Pokédex is coming along, right?"''
*No:
:''"Oh, really... If you want me to have a look at your Pokédex, come here again!"''
*Yes:
:''"I see! You've caught <number> Pokémon, then..."''


==Trivia==
* Out of the known relatives of [[Pokémon professor]]s, Professor Cedric Juniper is the only one that is older than his professor relative: {{ga|Brendan}} and {{ga|May}} are younger than [[Professor Birch]], {{ga|Blue}} and [[Daisy Oak|Daisy]] are younger than [[Professor Oak]], and [[Professor Elm]]'s unnamed child is younger than him. However, the age of Professor Elm's wife is unknown.

'''N''' (Japanese: '''Ｎ（エヌ）''' ''N'') is a character in {{2v|Black|White}}. He is the leader of [[Team Plasma]] and aspires to create separate worlds for [[human]]s and {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. His surname is '''Harmonia''' (Japanese: '''ハルモニア''' ''Harmonia'').

==In the games==
[[File:Young N.png|left|thumb|N as a child]]
[[File:NClose.png|256px|right|thumb|A close-up of N in [[N's Castle|his castle]] after the final battle]]
N was raised by [[Ghetsis]], the internal leader of the [[Seven Sages]]. As he grew up, he was appointed as the king and leader of [[Team Plasma]]. He is an antihero, being the primary antagonist, yet a good natured person who sees Pokémon as his friends and is generally rather amicable toward the {{player}} as well. At several points during the game he appears before the player to battle.

As a child, he was raised together with {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} and was isolated from [[human]]s. Ghetsis would only let N see Pokémon that had been hurt by humans. Based on the contents of his room in [[N's Castle]], as a child he appeared to be interested in skateboarding, transportation such as planes and trains, basketball, darts, and he also had many brand new toys.

In Black and White, N is first seen in the game's prologue movie, in which N, clothed in special garb, is crowned by Ghetsis in the throne room of a castle. During the ceremony, as the other Sages watch, N remembers his childhood spent with his Pokémon friends.

The player first meets N in [[Accumula Town]] after Team Plasma's public rally and Ghetsis's speech, where he challenges the player to a [[Pokémon battle]]. He again appears outside of the [[Nacrene Gym]], for another battle, and later at [[Nimbasa City]], where he asks the player to talk to him while riding the city's Ferris Wheel. During this excursion, N reveals that he is the leader of Team Plasma; Ghetsis had asked him to assist him in Team Plasma's liberation of Pokémon. It is confirmed after the ride, when a group of Plasma Grunts address him as their leader, and he battles the player to allow them time to get away. He is again encountered at the [[Chargestone Cave]], where he battles the player, and lastly, the [[Dragonspiral Tower]], where he found {{p|Zekrom}}{{sup|Bl}}/{{p|Reshiram}}{{sup|W}} for his plans.

When the player challenges the {{un|Pokémon League}}, after beating the [[Elite Four]], the player finds N with [[Alder]], the {{pkmn|Champion}}, arguing over the use of Pokémon as tools. When the player arrives, N summons [[N's Castle|his Castle]] from the earth, which attaches itself to the Pokémon League, and as he enters the Castle, he challenges the player to face him. [[Cheren]] arrives, and he and Alder ask the player to stop him.

Within the castle's throne room, N tells the player that his goal is to create separate worlds for both humans and Pokémon, saying that he is willing to battle even if his Pokémon are hurt. To combat the player, he summons {{p|Zekrom}}{{sup|Bl}}/{{p|Reshiram}}{{sup|W}}. As N's dragon appears, the player's [[Light Stone|Light]]{{sup|Bl}}/[[Dark Stone|Dark]]{{sup|W}} Stone is revived into the opposing dragon, and N encourages the player to battle it.

Once the dragon is caught, N will challenge the player. After N is defeated, Ghetsis appears and reveals he revived {{p|Zekrom}}{{sup|Bl}}/{{p|Reshiram}}{{sup|W}} for N to use, calling him a disappointment. Team Plasma's motive for stealing Pokémon—separate worlds—is shown to be a lie. Ghetsis manipulated N and Team Plasma to ensure that he was the only person in Unova with Pokémon so that he could dominate the region. Alder and Cheren both hear this. Ghetsis battles the player in a rage, despite N's protest. After the battle, Alder and Cheren arrest Ghetsis and take him away.

After the battle, N apologizes, walks to a hole to outside on edge of the throne room, releases his legendary Pokémon, and bids a final farewell to the player. Then, after the credit-roll, an epilogue movie plays in which {{p|Zekrom}}{{sup|Bl}}/{{p|Reshiram}}{{sup|W}}, with N on top, hovers above the clouds and, activating its tail's engine, accelerates away.

After the player finds the other Sages for [[Looker]], Looker says that he has heard that N was seen in a distant land with a {{type|Dragon}} Pokémon.

===Quotes===
===={{game|Black and White|s}}====
{{incomplete|section}}
'''At [[Accumula Town]]'''
*Before battle
:''"Your Pokémon... Just now, it was saying..."''
:''"Yes, they're talking. Oh. Then, you two can't hear it, either... How sad. My name is N."''
:''"The [[Pokédex]], eh? So... You're going to confine many, many Pokémon in [[Poké Ball]]s for that, then. I'm a {{pkmn|Trainer}}, too, but I can't help wondering... Are Pokémon really happy that way?"''
:''"Well, <player>, is it? Let me hear your Pokémon's voice again!"''

*After taking a hit
:''"More! Let me hear the voice of your Pokémon!"''

*After being defeated
:''"I never expected to hear Pokémon say such things..."''

*After the battle
:''"As long as Pokémon are confined in Poké Balls... Pokémon will never become perfect beings. I have to change the world for Pokémon, because they're my friends."''

'''At [[Nacrene City]]'''
:''"I... want to see things no one can see. The truths of Pokémon inside Poké Balls. The ideals of how Trainers should be. And a future where Pokémon have become perfect... Do you feel the same?"''
::'''Yes''': ''"That so? I think my friends and I should test you to see if you can see this future, too."''
::'''No''': ''"Huh. I expected more from you. Now pay attention. My friends and I will test you to see if you can see this future, too."''

*After being defeated
:''"I cannot see the future yet... The {{pkmn|world}} is still to be determined..."''

*After battle
:''"Right now, my friends aren't strong enough to save all Pokémon. Maybe I can't solve the equation that will change the world. So, I need power... Power enough to make anyone agree with me."''
:''"Now I know what power I need. {{p|Zekrom}}{{sup|Bl}}/{{p|Reshiram}}{{sup|W}}! The [[legendary Pokémon]] that, along with the hero, created the [[Unova]] region. It's my turn to become that hero--and you and I will be friends!"''

'''At [[Nimbasa City]]'''
:''"You're looking for Team Plasma, right? They ran into the amusement park. Come with me."''
:''"They're not here. Let's ride the Ferris wheel and see if we can spot them. I love Ferris wheels… The circular motion… The mechanics… They're like collections of elegant formulas."''
:''"First, I must tell you... I am the king of Team Plasma. Ghetsis asked me to work with him to save Pokémon. I wonder how many Pokémon exist in this world."''
:''"There's no problem. You're part of the people we brought in to help us save the Pokémon. So, you're under my protection, as well. Go, quickly, and let my battle cover your retreat. ...Now then, <player>, do you follow my logic?"''
::'''Yes''': ''"If true, your words please me."''
::'''No''': ''"So that's how it is... That's unfortunate."''
:''"Ah. Then... The future I envision... Perhaps I can't beat you here and now, but I'll battle you to buy time for these members of Team Plasma to get away!"''

*After the first move
:''"Your Pokémon look happy."''

*After sending out last Pokémon
:''"Even if I lose, is it different than the future I envision?"''

*Upon defeat
:''"The result was the same… But you…who are you?"''

*After battle
:''"You're quite strong. But I have a future that I must change. And, for that future... I'll defeat the Champion and become unbeatable, unlike any other! I'll make all Trainers free their Pokémon! Just try and stop me! If you want to be together with Pokémon, your only hope is to collect the Badges from each area and head for the Pokémon League! Try and stop me there, if you dare! If your conviction is not strong enough, you will never be able to defeat me."''

'''At [[Chargestone Cave]]'''
:''"Ah, yes. That was the [[Shadow Triad]], just now. [[Ghetsis]] enlisted them in [[Team Plasma]]. Apparently, they were the ones who prepared the {{p|Galvantula}} nest at the cave entrance."''
:''"Chargestone Cave... I like this place. Formulas express {{t|electric}}ity and its connection to Pokémon... If people did not exist, this would be an ideal place. You have been chosen, you know. Does it surprise you I said that?"''
::'''Yes''': ''"Of course. Such news should be a surprise."''
::'''No''': ''"Hmph. If you don't understand what that means, it's not likely to surprise you."''
:''"I told Ghetsis about you and your friends. After I did, he apparently used the Shadow Triad to find out about you. [[Cheren]] is pursuing the ideal of strength. Poor [[Bianca]] has faced the sad truth that not everyone can become stronger. And you are not swayed either way--more of a neutral presence. Which is apparently a good thing. Team Plasma will be waiting for you ahead. Ghetsis wants to see what kind of Pokémon Trainer you really are."''

*Before battle
:''"Many different values mix together, and the world becomes gray... That is unforgivable! I will separate Pokémon and people, and [[Pokémon Black and White Versions|black and white]] will be clearly distinct! Only then will Pokémon become perfect beings! Yes, that is my dream! That is the dream I must fulfill! <player>, do you have a dream of your own?"''
::'''Yes''': ''"You have a dream... That's wonderful. I'll learn just what kind of dream you have--in battle!"''
::'''No''': ''"As if a person without a dream could ever understand me! Eh... I guess... I have to crush your will here!"''

*After takes a hit
:''"Do you believe that [[Pokémon battle]]s help us understand one another?"''

*After sending out last Pokémon
:''"I will show you that my love for my friends permeates every cell of my body. Behold!"''

*Upon defeat
:''"My friends getting hurt... That's what a Pokémon battle is."''

*After battle
:''"Tsk! Why? Is it impossible for me to win while feeling bad about being a Trainer? As if I could pursue my ideals with something as meaningless as a battle! As if that could make me worthy to become friends with the [[legendary Pokémon]]!"''

:''"[[Professor Juniper]], what are you thinking? You appear to have no qualms about the relationship between Pokémon and people. You put Pokémon into categories using arbitrary rules and think you can understand them like that... The very idea of a Pokédex revolts me. What do you have to say for yourself?"''

:''"You're saying I should just allow people to think whatever they want and treat Pokémon however they want, no matter whether the Pokémon suffer? I refuse to tolerate the existence of a world like that!"''

'''At [[Mistralton City]]'''
:''"They may say it is for understanding one another better, but what Trainers really use battles for is to compete... And they hurt each others' Pokémon! Am I the only one who finds this terribly painful? Whatever... I'm going to talk to your Pokémon. I've been living with Pokémon since I was born, so it's easier for me to talk with them than with people. ...Because Pokémon never tell lies."''
:''"Hey, <lead Pokémon>. Would you tell me what kind of Trainer <player> is?"''
:''"OK, OK, got it. So <player> was born in [[Nuvema Town]], lives with [[Mom]], and was given the Pokédex to start off a journey to see the world. Still, this <lead Pokémon> trusts you for some reason. That's good! If every person and Pokémon cared about one another like you two do, I could watch over the future of people and Pokémon without having to liberate Pokémon from people who just use them."''
:''"Ghetsis is using Team Plasma to search for some special stones--the {{DL|List of key items in Generation V|Light Stone}} and the {{DL|List of key items in Generation V|Dark Stone}}... These stones hold the essence of two legendary Pokémon. It is said that when they lost their physical form, they fell into a slumber and were transformed. Now, they wait for the hero's arrival... I shall resurrect a legendary {{type|Dragon}} Pokémon from one of these stones, and become its friend. That will show the world that I am the new hero. Everyone will follow what I say!"''
:''"My vision is to change the world without using force. Trying to change the world by force will just make others resist. If people resist, the ones that will be hurt are the innocent Pokémon used by foolish Trainers. You understand. Pokémon are not just tools for people to use!"''
:''"As a result... Pokémon and Trainers who care about one another, like you and your Pokémon, will be separated. And that does break my heart a little."''

'''At [[Dragonspiral Tower]]'''
:''"What do you think, <player>? How do you like the powerful{{sup|Bl}}/beautiful{{sup|W}} form of the Pokémon who appears before and fights beside the hero that will lead the way to a new world?"''
:''"Now, {{p|Zekrom}}{{sup|Bl}}/{{p|Reshiram}}{{sup|W}} and I will head to the Pokémon League and defeat the Champion! This will be the last of the Pokémon battles that hurt Pokémon so. A world for Pokémon alone... It's finally going to be a reality."''
:''"If you want to stop me, you must become a hero as well! That's right! When Zekrom{{sup|Bl}}/Reshiram{{sup|W}}'s counterpart, Reshiram{{sup|Bl}}/Zekrom{{sup|W}}, recognizes you, we will finally be even, and then you can try to stop us!"''
:''"Well, what will you do? My prediction... If the future that I see is true, you will meet Reshiram{{sup|Bl}}/Zekrom{{sup|W}}. The Pokémon with you believe in you so strongly... Will you be the one who interferes with my formula for changing the world? If you want to protect the bonds between Pokémon and people, you must search for Reshiram{{sup|Bl}}/Zekrom{{sup|W}}! I'm sure it is waiting for you in the form of the Light Stone{{sup|Bl}}/Dark Stone{{sup|W}}."''

'''At [[Pokémon League]]'''
:''"It's over! Never again will Pokémon be made to suffer or be held captive by humans. It's all thanks to my friend, {{p|Zekrom}}{{sup|Bl}}/{{p|Reshiram}}{{sup|W}}! You may have the title of Champion… But you can't stop me with just a title. Your soft heart has left you weak. Years ago, you lost your Pokémon, your partner, to sickness. In order to forget the pain in your heart, you wandered Unova… Who knows how long it's been since you've had to fight with your full strength? I actually kind of like that about you, though. As a Trainer who far outmatches the Champion, I shall issue an order across Unova: Trainers of the world, free your Pokémon!"''
:''"You and I both put our beliefs on the line and fought with all our strength. And I won. Do not say another word."''
:''"...I've been waiting. In the future I envisioned, you obtained a stone. And, indeed, you have. That Light Stone{{sup|Bl}}/Dark Stone{{sup|W}}... {{p|Zekrom}}{{sup|Bl}}/{{p|Reshiram}}{{sup|W}} is responding to it. Stop. This is not a suitable for the legendary dragons! From the ground, rise up! The castle of Team Plasma! Surround the Pokémon League!"''
:''"What has just appeared is Team Plasma's castle. The king's words will resound from the heights to all below. You must come to the castle, as well. Everything will be decided there. Whether Pokémon will be liberated from people, or whether Pokémon and people will live together… We will see whose belief is stronger... And our result will change the world."''

'''At [[N's Castle]]'''
:''"What I desire is a world for Pokémon, and Pokémon alone. I will separate Pokémon from people, so Pokémon can regain their original power."
:''"It's time to settle this once and for all! My determination is absolute! I will prove the value of my beliefs even if it means my Pokémon friends get hurt! Since you've come this far, I believe you are equally determined. If that's so, prove it to me! Show me the depth of your determination!"''
:''"You came all this way to battle me… But {{p|Reshiram}}{{sup|Bl}}/{{p|Zekrom}}{{sup|W}} is not responding. You haven't yet been recognized as the hero, have you? How disappointing. I actually kind of liked you a little. Through our many battles, I got the feeling that you might be a Trainer who truly cares for Pokémon!"''
:''"But I was kidding myself. The idea of Trainers getting to know each other through battles is ridculous! You have two options. Challenge me to a fight you can't win, or leave this place and watch the birth of a new world where Pokémon are free of people! {{p|Zekrom}}{{sup|Bl}}/{{p|Reshiram}}{{sup|W}}! Come to me!"''
:''"Your Light Stone{{sup|Bl}}/Dark Stone{{sup|W}} is… I mean, {{p|Reshiram}}{{sup|Bl}}/{{p|Zekrom}}{{sup|W}} is…"''
:''"Zekrom and Reshiram… They were once one life. One Pokémon. Complete opposites, yet the same. Zekrom and Reshiram are Pokémon that appear before the hero they recognize. Ah… I see. you really are a hero, too. I'll tell you what that Pokémon is saying to you. "I want to battle with you. Try to make me your friend and ally." It plans to test you to see if you are really pursuing truth{{sup|Bl}}/ideals{{sup|W}}. I, also, am curious to see how powerful you are. Now, catch {{p|Reshiram}}{{sup|Bl}}/{{p|Zekrom}}{{sup|W}} and make it your ally!"''
:''"Ah… I see. {{p|Reshiram}}{{sup|Bl}}/{{p|Zekrom}}{{sup|W}}, who is said to lend its power to the hero who searches for truth{{sup|Bl}}/ideals{{sup|W}}, has recognized your power and now agrees to stand by your side…"''
:''"Hold on. Your Pokémon are hurt. There is no triumph to be gained in battling a weakened opponent."''
:''"Now, I will create the future I desire! I shall sweep you before me!"''

*First hit
:''"Do you really think you can stop us with that?"''

*After sending out last Pokémon
:''"My last friend… Please share your courage with me!"''

*Upon defeat
:''"Everything's ruined. The ideals{{sup|Bl}}/truth{{sup|W}} I held… The dreams Pokémon shared…"''

*After battle
:''"… … {{p|Zekrom}}{{sup|Bl}}/{{p|Reshiram}}{{sup|W}} and I were beaten. Your truth{{sup|Bl}}/ideals{{sup|W}}… Your feelings… They were stronger than mine, it seems… Reshiram and Zekrom… Each of them choosing a different hero… Is that even possible? Two heroes living at the same time— one that pursues truth and one that pursues ideals. Could… Could they both be right? I don't know. It's not by rejecting different ideas, but by accepting different ideas that the world creates a chemical reaction. This is truly the formula for changing the world."''
:''"But…I have no right to be the hero!"''
:''"Acting like you understand… Up till now, we've been fighting each other over our beliefs! Yet, despite that… Why?!"''
:''"I want to talk to you about something."''
:''"It's about when I first met you in Accumula Town. I was shocked when I heard what your Pokémon was saying. I was shocked because that Pokémon said it liked you. It said it wanted to be with you."''
:''"I couldn't understand it. I couldn't believe there were Pokémon that liked people. Because, up until that moment, I'd never known a Pokémon like that. The longer my journey continued, the more unsure I became. All I kept meeting were Pokémon and people who communicated with one another and helped one another. That was why I needed to confirm my beliefs by battling with you. I wanted to confront you hero-to-hero. I needed that more than anything."''
:''"There's no way a person like me, someone who understands only Pokémon— No, actually… I didn't understand them, either. No way could I measure up to you, when you had met so many Pokémon and were surrounded by friends…"''
:''"The Champion has forgiven me, and… What I should do now is something I'll have to decide for myself."''

*In Black:
:''"<Player>! You said you have a dream… That dream… Make it come true! Make your wonderful dream a reality, and it will become your truth! <Player>! If anyone can, it's you! Well, then… Farewell!"''

*In White:
:''"<Player>! You said you have a dream… That dream… Make it come true! Wonderful dreams and ideals give you the power to change the world! If anyone can, it's you! <Player>! Well, then… Farewell!"''

==In the manga==
[[File:N Adventures.png|thumb|right|150px|N as he appears in Pokémon Adventures]]
===In the Pocket Monsters BW manga===
N first appears in the fourth chapter of the Pocket Monsters BW manga where he shows his ability to communicate with Pokémon which [[Isamu Akai's Clefairy]] tries to record and sell for money.

| align=center | [[File:509.png]] {{p|Purrloin}}
|}
===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
N makes his first appearance standing near an [[Xtransceiver]] commercial shooting after {{adv|Black}} manages to save it from being attacked by a wild {{p|Galvantula}}. He sheds tears over the fact that Pokémon are being used for purposes such as acting.

He later appears in [[Accumula Town]] where he confronts and battles Black. He expresses his disgust with the Pokédex to Black and claims that Trainers lock up his "friends" in Poké Balls just so that it can fill the Pokédex, making them nothing more than a source of information to fill the Pokédex with information. Eventually, Black's [[Tep]] manages to defeat his Tympole, and N decides to take his leave after learning that there are Pokémon that enjoy the company of Trainers. After leaving, Black reveals that N isn't really a bad person after his [[Musha]] ate his dream and revealed it to him.

Later, at [[Nimbasa City]], N knocks {{adv|White}} into one of the ferris wheel cars and climbs into it.

==Trivia==
* The cube hanging off of N's belt is the first iteration of a {{wp|Menger sponge}}, a geometric figure that simultaneously has infinite surface area and zero volume. It could also be a {{wp|Void Cube}}, which has a similar appearance.
* N, [[Bianca]], and [[Cheren]] are the only Trainers in {{v2|Black and White|s}} with animated battle sprites.
* Unlike most recurring characters, N battles with a completely different team in every appearance (except for his {{p|Klinklang}}, which may have evolved from the {{p|Klink}} from the fourth battle). This may stem from his belief that Pokémon should not be used as tools, as every Pokémon he uses (except for the last battle against him) can be found in the surrounding area.
* N is the only Trainer from a [[Version|main series]] game not fought in a [[Battle Tower]] or [[Battle Frontier]] to use a [[legendary Pokémon]] on his team, and the only Trainer to use an [[event Pokémon]].
* N uses 15 of the 17 types of Pokémon, only not using Pokémon of the {{t|Poison}} and {{t|Ghost}} types. Ironically, Poison-type Pokémon are often used by members of villainous teams.
* N is fought more times than any other villainous team leader. However, he uses the [[Pokémon Trainer#As a Trainer class|Pokémon Trainer]] class during his first two battles.
* N is the only villainous team leader who keeps his Japanese name.
* N speaks very quickly, as indicated by the fact that his dialogue is printed faster than that of other characters and by Cheren's comment upon first meeting him: "Slow down. You talk too fast." He also speaks of metaphors about formulas and equations, another possible reference to the Menger sponge.
* In the last battle against N, Reshiram{{sup|Bl}}/Zekrom{{sup|W}} will move themselves to the front of the party if they are in it.

'''Squirtle''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ゼニガメ''' ''Zenigame'') is a {{type2|Water}} Pokémon introduced in [[Generation I]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Wartortle}} starting at [[level]] 16, who evolves into {{p|Blastoise}} starting at [[level]] 36.

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

It is also available in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, after obtaining all sixteen [[badge]]s and defeating {{ga|Red}}.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
[[File:May Squirtle Withdraw.png|thumb|left|In its shell|150px]]
Squirtle is a light blue turtle with its most notable feature being the hard shell on its back. This shell forms and hardens on its back after birth. It could perhaps be distantly related to some other turtle-like Pokémon, such as {{p|Torkoal}} and {{p|Turtwig}}, but Squirtle seems to only be closely related to its evolutions.

Squirtle's shell is an extremely helpful defensive tool. It can {{m|withdraw}} into the shell to block physical attacks. Its smooth, hard shell and head also aid it in other ways, such as minimizing its resistance in water to increase its swimming speed, and allowing it to launch attacks like {{m|Rapid Spin}} and {{m|Skull Bash}}.

Squirtle is a natural-born swimmer. However, due to its size, it's easier for it to transport something small (like a {{p|Pikachu}}) than to carry its Trainer.

Its jaws may not look like much, but they are strong enough that a Squirtle can learn to use a {{m|Bite}} attack.

Squirtle's tail seems to resemble that of a [[wp:Squirrel]]'s tail, which allows it to use moves such as {{m|Tail Whip}} and {{m|Aqua Tail}}.

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

====Special abilities====
Squirtle can spray water from its mouth. At first, it may only be able to spray foam and {{m|bubble}}s, but with time it can learn to spray water jets like {{m|Water Gun}} and {{m|Hydro Pump}}. If it {{m|withdraw}}s, it can still spray water out the holes in its shell.

It can also be easily taught {{type2|Ice}} moves like {{m|Ice Beam}} and {{m|Blizzard}}.

===Behavior===
Squirtle are domestic Pokémon, raised to be distributed as starters by [[Professor Oak]]. As such, they are regarded as well-behaved Pokémon. They are not regarded as the easiest or hardest for a Trainer to raise, since they are not as mild-mannered and easy as {{p|Bulbasaur}} but they are not as rash and hard as {{p|Charmander}}.

They are very loyal to their groups, but they get along better with other Pokémon than with humans, and can sometimes have a bit of an attitude towards humans. It is far from uncommon for them to start or join larger groups, such as the [[Squirtle Squad]] in ''[[EP012|Here Comes the Squirtle Squad]]'' and a civilization of Squirtle and its evolutions in ''[[EP060|Beach Blank-Out Blastoise]]''.

===Habitat===
[[File:Watersedge.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Water's-edge Pokémon}}]]
Squirtle are scarce in the wild. Sometimes they can be found living on secluded islands in the ocean or swimming in the rivers of deep canyons, but their chief habitat seems to be small freshwater ponds and lakes. Overall they are found far more often in urban settings, usually in the ownership of Trainers. [[Kanto]] is the most likely place to find them.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}
Their diet is the usual omnivorous diet of a Pokémon. In the wild it may feed on water plants or aquatic invertebrates.

==In the anime==
[[File:Ash Squirtle.png‎|thumb|200px|right|[[Ash's Squirtle|Squirtle]] in the anime]]
===Major appearances===
====[[Ash's Squirtle]]====
The first real Squirtle appeared in ''[[EP012|Here Comes the Squirtle Squad]]''. The [[Squirtle Squad]] were a gang of rogue Squirtle who were deserted by their Trainers. Ash befriended and captured their [[Ash's Squirtle|leader]], while the rest of them became a firefighting group. Squirtle stayed with Ash until ''[[EP147|The Fire-ring Squad!]]'', when it returned to the Squirtle Squad.

====[[May's Wartortle|May's Squirtle]]====
{{an|May}} received her own {{TP|May|Squirtle|Wartortle}} from {{an|Professor Oak}} in ''[[AG133|The Right Place and the Right Mime]]''. May's Squirtle was very young and timid, until evolving before ''[[DP077|Staging a Heroes Welcome]]''.

====Other====
In ''[[SS014|Journey to the Starting Line]]'', a set of the three [[Kanto]] starter Pokémon in which a boy named {{ka|Gilbert}} was supposed to choose from as his starting Pokémon were scared off by [[Ash's Tauros]]. {{an|Professor Oak}}, {{Tracey}}, {{Delia}}, and Gilbert had to split up and find the three missing Pokémon. Squirtle was the second one found. The Tiny Turtle Pokémon was stuck in a tree that was hanging over a cliff. [[Ash's Bulbasaur]] managed to catch the Squirtle before it could fall off the cliff.

The main character in ''[[SS019|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Team Go-Getters out of the Gate!]]'' special is a Squirtle that claims that he used to be human. He joins Team Go-Getters in their rescue work. While he can't use {{m|Water Gun}}, he is happy to use {{m|Bubble}} because it looks pretty.

===Minor appearances===
Squirtle was mentioned in the first episode of the anime, ''[[EP001|Pokémon - I Choose You!]]'', as one of the three [[starter Pokémon]] new Trainers in [[Pallet Town]] can choose from. Ash dreamed of owning one, and it was his first choice of a starter. However, when he arrived at {{an|Professor Oak|Oak}}'s lab, he found out it was too late, as another Trainer who started the same day had already taken it. It wasn't until ''[[EP269|The Ties that Bind]]'' that it was revealed that the Trainer who took Squirtle was none other than [[Gary Oak]], Ash's [[rival]]. By then, it had already evolved into a {{TP|Gary|Blastoise}}.

A Squirtle was used by one of the students of the [[Pokémon Trainer's School]] in ''[[AG015|Gonna Rule The School!]]''.

Another Squirtle appeared in ''[[DP149|Sticking With Who You Know!]]'', falling in love with a {{p|Raichu}}.

==In the manga==
===In The Electric Tale of Pikachu manga===
[[Ash's Squirtle]] has been featured in the manga [[Electric Tale of Pikachu|The Electric Tale of Pikachu]]. It first appears in the chapter ''[[ET08|You Gotta Have Friends]]''. Squirtle's capture is not shown in the manga, it is simply stated when it appears from its Poké Ball that "{{OBP|Ash Ketchum|EToP|Ash}} has been busy since the last comic".

[[Ash's Pikachu]] also meets an abandoned Squirtle in the chapter ''[[ET07|Pikachu's Excellent Adventure]]''. This Squirtle, along with other Pokémon, helps Pikachu find the [[Hidden Village]] after he is separated from Ash and friends.

===In the Magical Pokémon Journey manga===
{{main|Squirtle (MPJ)}}
A Squirtle is a supporting character in the [[Magical Pokémon Journey]] manga. He first appears in the chapter ''[[PPP06|Christmas Wishes]]''. Squirtle admires [[Almond]] and refers to him as his "big brother".

Squirtle lives in {{MPJ|Jigglypuff}} and {{MPJ|Wigglytuff}}'s mansion as their butler.

===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
{{adv|Green}} stole a Squirtle from {{adv|Professor Oak}}, which she nicknamed [[Blasty]]. It has since evolved into {{p|Wartortle}} and then {{p|Blastoise}} more quickly than the others, possibly due to her innate talent in evolving Pokémon, as acknowledged by the [[Masked Man]].

Green's Blastoise is never shown in its Squirtle form in the manga (save the contents page of the [[Pokémon Adventures volume 3|third volume]]). Its first appearance, as a Wartortle, is in ''[[PS015|Wartortle Wars]]'', returning as a Blastoise in [[PS030| Zap, Zap, Zapdos]].

===In Pokémon Newspaper Strip===
[[Misty]] has a Squirtle in the [[Pokémon Newspaper Strip]].

===In the Pokémon Zensho manga===
{{Zensho|Shigeru}}'s starter Pokémon was a Squirtle he received from his grandfather, Professor Oak.

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

==Other appearances==
[[File:SSBB Waterfall.png|200px|right|thumb|{{ga|Red|Pokémon Trainer}} commanding Squirtle to use {{m|Waterfall}} in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]]]
===[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]===
Squirtle is seen on the stage Pokéfloats and is the first Pokéfloat to appear. Play begins on its head and arms until it slowly leaves off the bottom of the screen. After traveling through all the Pokéfloats, the screen will be empty for a few seconds before Squirtle pops up and the cycle begins again.

====Trophy information====
Retreating into its shell and spitting water at its foes is Squirtle's trademark response to danger. It's one of the three Pokémon that Trainers can receive from Professor Oak in Pokémon Red and Blue. Squirtle evolves into Wartortle and then Blastoise, ramping up its water powers with each evolution.

===[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]===
Squirtle is a playable Pokémon used by {{ga|Red}}. It can use {{m|Waterfall}} to recover from falls as well as {{m|Withdraw}}, in which case it retreats to its shell and shoots water from the back of it propelling him forwards. It also uses {{m|Water Gun}} to push enemies with a stream of water. Squirtle is a lightweight and uses various attacks using its shell and {{type2|Water}} moves to combat its foes. It uses {{m|Hydro Pump}} in Red's Final Smash, {{DL|Final Smash|Triple Finish}}.

==Trivia==
* As a species, Squirtle has been trained the most of all [[Kanto]] {{pkmn2|starter}}s by main anime Trainers, with {{Ash}}, {{an|May}}, and {{Gary}} each owning one.
* Squirtle is the first {{type2|Water}} Pokémon in [[National Pokédex]] order.
* Statistically, Squirtle is the slowest Pokémon out of the three Kanto starters, and in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]] it does have the slowest running speed of all of Pokémon Trainers Pokémon though its attacks are generally faster than {{ga|Red|Pokémon Trainer}}'s other two Pokémon, these two being Kanto starter evolutions.
* Squirtle's family is the only Pokémon family that can learn {{m|Bubble}} and cannot learn {{m|BubbleBeam}}, except in [[Generation I]], where BubbleBeam was a [[TM]].
* Along with {{p|Bulbasaur}} and {{p|Charmander}}, Squirtle is the only starter Pokémon which is found in more than one [[regional Pokédex]], being found in both [[List of Pokémon by Johto Pokédex number|Kanto's]] and [[List of Pokémon by Johto Pokédex number|Johto's]].
* Despite being based on a turtle, Squirtle has a furry tail.
===Origin===
Squirtle appears to be based on {{wp|sea turtle}}s and {{wp|tortoise}}s.

====Name origin====
''Squirtle'' is a combination of "{{wp|turtle}}", for its turtle-like appearance, and "squirt", which can mean either a verb as in to spray water, or a noun as in a nickname for someone who is tiny in comparison to others. It could also derive from "squirrel", referring to its bushy tail.

''Zenigame'' is simply the Japanese word for pond turtle, 銭亀.
