List of glitches in Generation VI

2013-11-27T20:16:19Z

Dralcax: /* Versions 1.0 and 1.1 */

This is a '''list of glitches''' that occur in the [[Generation VI]] [[main series]] [[Pokémon games]].

==In Pokémon X and Y==
===Versions 1.0 and 1.1===
====Egg glitch====
{{GlitchResearch|What is the cause and trigger? What about the Mystery Zone? Do Mystery Eggs duplicate?}}
Occasionally, a {{player}} will find an [[Egg]] that randomly appears in the [[Pokémon Storage System]] with its data set as being obtained from the [[Mystery Zone]] at 0/0/2000.<ref>[http://www.reddit.com/r/pokemon/comments/1oc976/ive_just_found_an_egg_in_my_box_that_was_obtained/ I've just found an egg in my box that was "obtained from the mystery zone on 0/0/2000" : pokemon]</ref><ref>[http://www.neoseeker.com/forums/60943/t1911857-mystery-eggs/ Mystery Eggs? - Pokémon X & Y Forum - Neoseeker Forums]</ref> Sources claim that these Eggs duplicate after an unspecified amount of time, much like the [[Bad Egg]]s of previous [[generation]]s.

{{youtubevid|TjsySmLeBS0|Bishopped|kalos}}

====Graphics cache glitch====
{{GlitchResearch|What is the cause and trigger?}}
An irregular behavior occurs when turning off the {{wp|3D computer graphics|3D}} effect while in an area that uses it, then re-enabling the effect in the same area during the use of in-game functions that use {{wp|2D computer graphics|2D}} (such as triggering a [[Field move (main series)|field move]]). Probably due to an oversight in the {{wp|Garbage collection (computer science)|garbage collection}} {{wp|algorithm}}, the 3D graphics data will remain in {{wp|Cache (computing)|cache}} (stay visible) until the 2D graphics are cleared.

{{youtubevid|H52skWyuWjE|FCoFix|kalos}}

====Model discoloration glitch====
{{GlitchResearch|What is the cause and trigger?}}
This seldom and temporary [[glitch]] causes a {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}'s model to lose its color, becoming {{wp|Monochrome|monochromatic}}. It can be fixed by {{wp|Reboot (computing)|rebooting}} the game.<ref name="KpopStarz">[http://www.kpopstarz.com/articles/46033/20131019/pokemon-x-and-y.htm Pokemon X And Y Glitch: 'Pokemon Albino' Found, Nintendo And Game Freak Allegedly Working On Patch To Resolve Multiple Errors | KpopStarz]</ref>

====Pokémon-Amie reaction glitch====
This [[glitch]] is triggered the first time a {{player}} interacts with a given {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} in [[Pokémon-Amie]]. Petting the Pokémon will produce the same reaction regardless of whether it is being petted on a favored or disliked spot, although the difference in the "rubbing" sound effect—higher pitch for a liked spot, lower pitch for a disliked spot—can still be heard.

A {{wp|workaround}} that results in a permanent solution for that specific Pokémon is for the player to take an action that causes the Pokémon's {{DL|Pokémon-Amie|Affection effects|affection}} to rise. This could be feeding it a {{DL|Pokémon-Amie|Poké Puffs|Poké Puff}} or petting it after either playing a game or exiting and reopening Pokémon-Amie.

====Save corruption glitch====
{{GlitchResearch|All known info is based on reports. And does it also occur on the retail copies?}}
It has been reported that some [[Saving|save files]] of digitally downloaded copies of the games have become corrupted. This issue has affected other games downloadable on the {{wp|Nintendo eShop}} such as {{smw|Mario Kart 7}} and {{smw|Mario & Luigi: Dream Team}}.

{{youtubevid|ZIXaYj3l9NU|TrevorNickell|kalos}}

====Secret Lab's invisible Poké Ball glitch====
During the fifth chapter of the {{DL|Lumiose City|Looker Bureau}} missions, the {{player}} is required to enter the room containing the stolen [[Poké Ball]]s that are held within the [[Secret Lab]] of [[Lysandre Labs]]. In the upper-left corner, there is a table with a chair and two of the stolen Poké Balls nearby surrounding a second chair. If the player interacts with the table on its right or while sitting down, the game will trigger the "''It's someone's Poké Ball.''" message despite there being no Poké Ball on the table. Returning to the room after the chapter is over will not display the message if the table is interacted with again.

{{youtubevid|1sg_-sBREWI|FCoFix|kalos}}

====Sky Trainer interaction glitch====
If the {{player}} has a {{pkmn|battle}} with a {{tc|Sky Trainer}}, then the Sky Trainer cannot be interacted with and will not speak to the player when the game returns to the overworld. Should the player reload the area by moving to a different area and back, he or she will be allowed to interact again and speak to the Sky Trainer.

This [[glitch]] appears to be caused by an improperly set flag that is corrected upon reloading the area into memory.

====Super Training menu glitch====
If the {{player}} taps the icon on the {{wp|touchscreen}} to open the [[Super Training]] menu, then immediately interacts with an object in the overworld by pressing the A button of the [[Nintendo 3DS|3DS]], the sound effect will play but the menu will not open.

====Wonder Trade evolution learnset glitch====
If a {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} {{DL|Methods of evolution|Evolution via trading|evolves by trading}} during [[Wonder Trade]] and learns a new [[move]], both the new move and the old move will disappear.<ref name="KpopStarz" />

====Vivillon Friend Safari glitch====
If a Friend Safari contains the Pokemon Vivillon in any forme other than its Meadow Pattern, once encountered, the Friend Safari will not recognize Vivillon as having been encountered as the Poke Ball icon that represents a yet-to-be encountered Pokemon will not update to include Vivillon's menusprite. This is because Meadow is considered Vivillon's default pattern, and, due to the Friend Safari being unable to handle variable formes, will only check if the player has encountered Meadow Pattern Vivillon.

===Version 1.0 only===
====Lumiose City save glitch====
{{main|Lumiose City save glitch}}
[[File:Lumiose City Save Glitch Map.png|thumb|250px|right|The map released by [[Nintendo]].]]
When saving in the North and South Boulevards of [[Lumiose City]], the game may become unresponsive when it is reloaded. Some textures will not load properly and it is impossible to move or use the {{wp|touchscreen}} even though the background music still plays normally.

This [[glitch]] was officially acknowledged by [[Nintendo]], that revealed a fix was being planned. The company also released a map that marked the areas in which the {{player}} should not [[Saving|save]] the game.<ref>[http://www.nintendo.co.jp/3ds/ekjj/info/ 任天堂株式会社 | ニンテンドー3DS専用ソフト『ポケットモンスターＸ・Ｙ』ミアレシティでのレポートについてのお願い]</ref><ref>[https://www.nintendo.com/whatsnew/detail/3wjvChGG7BsUTVPEszTwG__rwArdVqOY Updated: Pokémon X and Pokémon Y: Game Save Error - Nintendo Official Site]</ref>

On October 25, 2013, a {{wp|Patch (computing)|patch}} bumping the game's version to 1.1 was released on the {{wp|Nintendo eShop}} that fixes the issue even if the game has been afflicted by it. The patch also fixes the [[:#GTS filter glitch|GTS filter glitch]].

{{youtubevid|1a70QhOI0TI|OfficialNerdCubed|kalos}}
====GTS filter glitch====
{{main|Global Terminal#Glitches and manipulation}}
{{GlitchResearch|Do other filters cause communication errors?}}
In the {{DL|Player Search System|Global Trade Station}}, after seeking a {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, it is possible to use a filter to narrow the results down to [[Trainer]]s seeking for Pokémon that the {{player}} owns. Trying to initiate the [[trade]] can cause a communication error where the game will display the "''A communication error has occurred. Press the <sc>Power</sc> button, and end the game''" message, forcing a {{wp|Shutdown (computing)|shutdown}}.

On October 25, 2013, a {{wp|Patch (computing)|patch}} bumping the game's version to 1.1 was released on the {{wp|Nintendo eShop}} that fixes the issue as well as the [[Lumiose City save glitch]].<ref>[http://www.joystiq.com/2013/10/25/pokemon-x-y-1-1-patch-goes-live-fixes-lumoise-city-save-glitch/ Pokemon X/Y 1.1 patch goes live, fixes Lumiose City save glitch | Joystiq]</ref>

Talk:Dark (type)

2013-07-12T16:24:28Z

Dralcax: /* English names of Gen 6 Pokemon */ new section

== The Implication of Dark ==

I added a little quip in the Characteristics section about other features of the Dark-type, specifically how many of the moves are associated with deception and stealing, earning it the title "Dark." I'm pretty sure Dark is not a reference to Night, even though Eevee involves into Umbreon at night, but I think that was just a way to showcase how Day and Night could be used in Gold/Silver. If anyone disagrees with this, I'm interested in your opinion--[[User:MJuice|MJuice]] 02:12, 18 April 2007 (UTC)
:The Japanese name for the type is Evil, so your observations aren't without support. However, over analyzing too much only adds fuel to the whole 'Pokemon is Satanic' argument.--[[User:Dual|Dual]] 04:44, 29 November 2007 (UTC)

:Late reply, but it seems rather likely to me that Dark actually refers to both. Darkness and nighttime are often used (both in Western and Eastern cultures, including Japan) as a symbolic reference to evil, especially the former. Several Dark Pokemon such as Murkrow also have a highly prominent connection to the night, be it evolutionary methods or location in the wild. Initially in Gold/Silver, it should be noted that every wild Dark Pokemon could only be found at night. Because of this, it is not necessarily true that the "Dark = Night" conception is a falsehood, so I don't think the night/darkness implications of the Dark type should be regarded as an outright misinterpretation so much as simply being opinionated. I've decided to remove the sentence containing this statement for that reason. [[User:Marlowe|Marlowe]] 18:41, 12 November 2008 (UTC)

good for you, now maybe you can stop spamming up the recent changes page huh? [[User:Happizelpom|Happi]][[User talk:Happizelpom|zel]][[Special:Contributions/Happizelpom|pom]] 15:11, 12 November 2008 (UTC)

::Just for the record, that doesn't stop others from seeing it in the recent changes. [[User:The Dark Fiddler|The Dark Fiddler]] - [[User talk:The Dark Fiddler|Smarter than the average bear!]] 19:32, 12 November 2008 (UTC)

:::: Moonlight Umbreon:But please,do not think ALL dark pokemon are evil.Umbreon evolves via happiness,Darkrai creates nightmares but wants to stop the battle between Dialga and Palkia,Houndoom saved a Togepi in the anime,and many dark type pokemon look like evil,but aren't. {{unsigned|Moonlight umbreon}}

:::::No Pokémon are actually malevolent.
:::::I'm not confident about the actual Pokémon but the moveset is definately focussed on a pragmatic approach to fighting: Pulling any trick to win as opposed to the honour of fighting types (who the attacks are weak against.) --[[User:Fabu-Vinny|FabuVinny]] |[[User talk:Fabu-Vinny|Talk Page]]| 16:00, 11 April 2010 (UTC)

==Special?==
Are Dark-type moves really counted as Special-type moves? Even though most Dark-type moves are physical-based? --[[User talk:Venomoth|☯ ]][[User:Venomoth|*Ɣℯⲛօӎօṫհ*]][[User talk:Venomoth| ☯]] 17:21, 17 April 2008 (UTC)
:That's how it is in the Generation III games. [[User:Tesh|'''TESH''']][[User_talk:Tesh|'''IGIGAS''']] 20:19, 17 April 2008 (UTC)
::And Generation II. -Lord Hyren 02:05, 27 June 2008 (UTC)
:::At Earl's Pokémon Academy in Pokémon Stadium 2, one of his lectures for beginning Trainers lists the 17 types and clarifies whether moves of that type are based on Attack or Special Attack. That lecture lists Dark as Special. [[User:Superbreeder|Super]][[User talk:Superbreeder|breeder]] 03:31, 9 December 2008 (UTC)
::::Why exactly ''is'' Dark special? There is only 1 special move. What determines a type as special or physical? Sivart345 ([[User:Sivart345|user]] · [[User talk:Sivart345|talk]] · [[Special:Contributions/Sivart345|contrib]]) 20:59, 22 January 2009 (UTC)
:::::Because that was decided by the moves type bfore Gen IV and when they added two types two generations earlier, Steel was more clearly physical so they went the other way with Dark to keep things even. When the physical/special split led them to take a closer look at the moves, it was fixed. --[[User:Fabu-Vinny|FabuVinny]] |[[User talk:Fabu-Vinny|Talk Page]]| 16:00, 11 April 2010 (UTC)

== Trivia ==

In the trivia section for [[Electric (type)]], it's mentioned that ''Because Electric's only weakness is to Ground, a pure Electric-type Pokémon with Levitate would have no weaknesses unless Gravity is used or the foe has Mold Breaker.'' Worth mentioning for Dark/Poison with Levitate? [[User:MaskedFalcon|MaskedFalcon]] 11:55, 19 December 2008 (UTC)
:No, because Dark's weakness is {{type|Fighting}} and Poison's weakness is {{type|Psychic}}.--'''[[User:Diby|Di]][[User talk:Diby|b]][[Special:Contributions/Diby|y]]''' 11:59, 19 December 2008 (UTC)
::What I meant was, suppose we had a combination Dark/Poison type with Levitate. Since Dark's Fighting weakness is canceled by Poison's resistance and Poison's Psychic weakness is nullified by Dark's immunity, the Pokémon would have no weaknesses. [[User:MaskedFalcon|MaskedFalcon]] 12:02, 19 December 2008 (UTC)

== Language Translation ==

dont remove or undo anything for enougth confusion pls .....[[User:Bakunawa|Bakunawa]] 08:13, 29 December 2008 (UTC)

== Zorua and Zoroark ==

We should add them, seeing as we know that they are pure Dark-type. I already added them to the number of known Dark-types, but not to the list of them. [[User:TorchicBlaziken|TorchicBlaziken]] ([[User_talk:TorchicBlaziken|talk]]•[[Special:Contributions/TorchicBlaziken|edits]]) 15:03, 11 February 2010 (UTC)

==Bite==

This page lists Bite as having a 10% chance to flinch, but according to Bite's page it has had a 30% chance to since Gen II, shouldn't this page be changed accordingly? --[[User:Oryx|Oryx]] 23:01, 10 May 2010 (UTC)

Nevermind, it looks like it is actually Bite's page that is not correct. --[[User:Oryx|Oryx]] 02:29, 18 May 2010 (UTC)

Bite Most definitely has a 30% flinch rate - I abuse it regularly with a Serene Grace Dusparce. Where did you get the idea that it wasn't? [[User:LouisCyphre|
]] 08:36, 29 July 2011 (UTC)

== Until Generation IV... ==

All pure dark types were either felines or canines. Can we add this to trivia?--[[User:Burgundy|Burg]][[User talk: Burgundy|undy]] 18:43, 17 October 2010 (UTC)
:pure coincidence [[User:Ataro|Ataro]] 18:45, 17 October 2010 (UTC)
::Umbreon and Absol are indeterminate species anyways. It would have been better to say quadrupeds. But yeah. With only four pure Darks at the time, it ain't that notable. --[[Tracey Sketchit|'''ケンジ''']][[User talk:Kenji-girl|'''の''']][[User:Kenji-girl|'''ガール''']] 23:49, 17 October 2010 (UTC)

== Trivia ==

All non-legendary pure Dark-type Pokémon are based off of fox, dog, or cat-like creatures.
I'm not sure that's notable, seeing as each one is referring to a single evolutionary line (except dog, since Umbreon is fairly dog-like), and how it was dealt with in the section above. Also, it isn't necessarily [[Absol_(Pokémon)|true]]. [[User:EnosShayrem|Enos]][[Shaymin (Pokémon)|Shay]][[Kyurem (Pokémon)|rem]][[User_talk:EnosShayrem|Talk]] 16:06, 5 June 2011 (UTC)
:Removed. —'''darklord[[User talk:The dark lord trombonator|trom]]''' 21:40, 5 June 2011 (UTC)

== Trivia ==

"Officially, this type's Brazilian Portuguese translation is "Noturno" (nocturnal), but at times it is named as "Sombrio" or "Trevas" (darkness) as well. However, Sombrio means Shadow, another type."

Eu sempre percebi isso, por exemplo: [[Paul]]: "Honchkrow use a Vibração sombria" (''Honchkrow use Vibration Shadow'')

I am [[wp:Brazilian people|Brazilian]] Okay. The text in black is [[wp:Brazilian Portuguese|Portuguese]]

[[User:Alysson-A|Alysson-A]] 19:28, 18 June 2011 (UTC)

== "Exception" ==

The article says: "Dark-type Pokémon are notable for the fact that they don't have any strong stat trends other than Attack [...] but usually have relatively poor defenses, with '''the exception''' of Umbreon, Spiritomb, Drapion, Scrafty, Mandibuzz and Tyranitar."
I think that 6 Pokémon aren't really an exception. I think an exception could have been 1-2 Pokémon, not 6 (they're actually more than 6, counting their pre-evolutions) --[[User:SamuStar|SamuStar]] 14:13, 30 July 2011 (UTC)

== Trivia ==

Okay, a nice piece of trivia "Officially, this type's Brazilian Portuguese translation is "Noturno" (nocturnal), but at times it is named as "Sombrio" or "Trevas" (darkness) as well." but then "... However, Sombrio means Shadow, another type." -Since when was Shadow a type? [[User:Anaserfrdrews12798|Anaserfrdrews12798]] 16:01, 3 December 2011 (UTC)

::But aren't Shadow Pokemon a "variety" rather than a specific type? [[User:Anaserfrdrews12798|Anaserfrdrews12798]]

:::::More of an "interact with the regular users" kind of staff worker. Anyhow, I've altered the trivia so hopefully it's a bit more accurate.

== Dark was not before johto ==

As the Subeject says The type Dark and Steel type was introduced in Generation II. this content was missing i will also make thin on the Type Steel talk page

It might just be me, but other than a fish, couldn't its overall look be based of a submarine?

==Based on a lizard & Name origins==

On the page it says that "Erikiteru is based on a lizard," but I think it's actually based on a mongoose. For one, it only passing looks like a lizard, and looks much more mammalian. Secondly, it's name is "Erikiteru," which I believe to be a portmanteau of "Electric" and "Riki-Tiki-Tavi," Kipling's famous mongoose. Just my two cents.

--[[User:Zoraluigi|Zoraluigi]] ''([[User talk:Zoraluigi|Talk]])'' 17:37, 11 May 2013 (UTC)

Helioptile is a small, lizard-like Pokemon that is mostly pale yellow. Its feet and tail tip are black, as is the top of its head.

It has large eyes with blue irises and white pupils, and a mouth that appears curved into a smile, with two small nostrils above it. It has a triangle-shaped yellow patch between its eyes.

Hello, there. On {{p|Golem}}'s and {{p|Mandibuzz}}'s page it is mentioned that they can't be seen in the PokéDex without trading. And I think that applies to Scizor as well.

However, there is a chance I might be wrong and there is an in-game trainer I'm not aware of.

I mean, I did think that Ledian was like that but since somebody reverted my edit and pointed out that I was wrong, but if I'm right that there is no in-game trainer that has a Scizor, it might be worth adding to the trivia section.

== Name origin ==

Two things. One, shouldn't it's German name origin be "seA dragon king" instead of "seE dragon king"? Two, wouldn't you say Kingdra more percisely resembles a [[wp:Leafy_sea_dragon|leafy sea dragon]]? {{unsigned|ANinyMouse}}

Germans spell Ice "eis", tea "tee", and sea "see." [[User:Evkl|evkl]] 04:35, 22 Jul 2005 (UTC)

Alright. You learn something new everyday. --[[User:ANinyMouse|ANinyMouse]] 06:57, 22 Jul 2005 (UTC)

:If the English names represent anything, several Pokémon names are, or contain, mis-spelled English words. Some examples are {{P|Jynx}}, {{P|Onix}} and {{P|Staryu}}. Does German do the same?[[User:User142|User142]] | [[User talk:User142|Talk]] 11:25, 3 January 2006 (CST)

:: In it's German name, it says that "See" (die) means sea (which is true) but it also means lake ("der See"). Should the other meaning be added due no family/gender of these words aren't listed? (Sorry for using this old topic after six years) [[User:Ariano|Ariano]] 16:30, 5 May 2012 (UTC)

==Kingdra / King Ghidora?==
Something just occured to me: Kingdra (キングドラ) is very close to King Ghidora (キングギドラ), the famous rival of Godzilla. Aside from King Ghidora containing an extra katakana, they're the same word. Granted, the creatures don't look similar at all, aside from both being dragon-like, but does anyone think that this could be the inspiration for the name? '''[[User:Bikini Miltank|Bikini Miltank]]'''[[User_Talk:Bikini Miltank|Moo, I say.]] 18:54, 4 January 2008 (UTC)

== Flash Cannon ==

Why can Kingdra learn Flash Cannon, but not Solarbeam. I know it may have to do with the type of Kingdra, but the moves are both close to the same idea. Both store and release light. Any ideas? --[[User:PsychicRider|PsychicRider]] 03:14, 21 June 2008 (UTC)

Light is the least important... it's just because of the type combination. Yeah, if you think I didn't notice, Typhlosion learns solarbeam in Gen IV, but that's an exception. '''[[User:Hfc2x|hfc]][[User talk:Hfc2x|2X]]''' 06:25, 21 June 2008 (UTC)

Yes, Kingra can't learn any move (except {{m|Hidden Power}}) to damage {{p|Empoleon}} at least normally. It was already written here, then deleted, now it is here again. Do we need this trivia? Now we have a lot of new Pokemon, which can't damage some other, like {{p|Doredia}}, learning only Grass and Normal moves (except {{m|Hidden Power}} and {{m|Dream Eater}}) can't damage {{p|Metagross}}, or ... or any {{type|Steel}} Pokemon.

== Physiology? ==

The last sentence of the Physiology says that Kingdra's color relates to Blastoise. Yeah, um, the only similarity is that they're blue and have brownish bellies, but they're different shades. --[[User:Fimbulwinter2012|"FiMbUlWiNtEr2O|2"]] 17:45, 4 January 2011 (UTC)

== Wrong trivia ==
From the Trivia section: ''"Kingdra was the first Dragon-type Pokémon not to be part of the Dratini evolution family."''
...Except, it ''is'' part of the Dratini evolutionary family? this seems wrong. ZaphodBeeblebrox 11:55, 8 January 2012 (UTC)

oh, derp, sorry on my part! XD I read "dratini" as "Horsea" for some reason, silly.. carry on then ! ZaphodBeeblebrox 12:03, 8 January 2012 (UTC)

== Seahorse dragon ==

I remember hearing there was a japanese legend that a seahorse would become a dragon if it lived for 100 years. This seems like a highly possible origin, can anyone confirm this?

== Lucario ==

Nice touch with the line about it not evolving given all the speculation about Lucario. ([[User:Argy|Argy]])

These pages deal with known data, not random speculation. On top of that, there is no history of any legendary Pokemon evolving.
--[[User:Jshadias|Jshadias]] 00:14, 2 Mar 2005 (UTC)

That was what I was referring to- the random, unfounded speculation going on at various forums. Before I saw that all non-evolving Pokemon had that line, I thought it was a nice touch to emphasize reality. ([[User:Argy|Argy]])

== Movie ==

Wait a minute... what was the second movie Mewtwo was the subject in? (Given Mewtwo Strikes Back is the first) If there was one before it, is there a reason it isn't listed in the movie section? -OmegaPlatinum

::And the only reason why it wasn't listed in the movie section was because it really wasn't a movie.

:One per game. One in the anime. '''[[User:TTEchidna|T]][[User talk:TTEchidna|T]][[wp:Echidna|Echidna]]''' 09:29, 11 September 2007 (UTC)

In the Anime, yes there WAS only one, but it was hinted that they could have made many more of his species had he not destroyed their lab (Random scientist: Very Good, Excellent! Let's work on Mewthree!
-Pokemon the first movie). And as for the games, yes, they made it quite clear in the games that Mewtwo is unique and one of a kind (the stadium games and the Mystery dungeon series don't count [and by stadium games, I mean just Pokemon Stadium ZERO (the unreleased japanese version), Pokemon Stadium, and Pokemon Stadium 2. I consider Colosseum/XD/Battle Revolution to be a different series from Stadium.].)

[[User:Weedle Mchairybug|Weedle Mchairybug]] 23:55, 1 May 2008 (UTC)

But in FireRed and LeafGreen, they never mentioned about making another Mew clone. [[User:BlueJirachi|BlueJirachi]] 14:45, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

Well, they never had it appear in Gold/Silver, they never had it appear in the Colosseum games, they never even had it appear in the Ranger games. the only games it appeared in besides Gen I and it's remakes is the Mystery Dungeon series and the Stadium games, which really don't count in regards to the games canon (heck, the Mystery dungeon games don't even take PLACE on the main Pokemon world.). and of course they didn't mention making another mew clone, because Mewtwo blew up the place before they could even record the idea.

== "Born" or "created" ==

Nevermind, I found them. I was mistaken and Mew did give birth to Mewtwo.--[[User:Ceol|Ceol]] 16:05, 29 July 2008 (UTC)

:No, Mew did not physically give birth to Mewtwo. Mewtwo is a genetically inhanced clone of Mew. The whole concept of "Mew gave birth" is a metaphor for the fact that after a long time of creating clones of Mew that didn't survive the cloning process, the scientists were finally able to create a living clone from Mew's DNA. --'''[[User:InuMimi|いぬ]][[User talk:InuMimi|みみ]]''' 22:02, 29 October 2008 (UTC)

:I know about cloning in the real world, thank you. But by the anime, Mewtwo was in a tank for the first part of his life and no where else. And because he is a fictional cartoon/video game character, there is no other side to the story, meaning if being implanted wasn't shown or mentioned, then it didn't happen. People can make up theories of what they assume is truth but assuming is not truth and fictional characters don't have alternative sides because they are not real. And even if Mew "gave birth", how did the scientists get their hands on a Mew to implant Mewtwo? It was only mentioned that they found a fossilized eyebrow of a Mew. --'''[[User:InuMimi|いぬ]][[User talk:InuMimi|みみ]]''' 22:44, 31 October 2008 (UTC)

:::The anime is based off of the games and the anime goes indepth with almost everything in Pokemon. It was never mentioned in the game how Mewtwo was cloned or if he was implanted.

::::False. The anime is LOSELY based off the games. Hence the anime's Magnemites and Koffings don't need "partners" of the same specie in order to evolve, Red and Green are named Ash and Gary, and Mewtwo is a clone which wasn't created on Cinnabar Island. {{unsigned|Spideym}}
:::::The anime is based on the games in therms of major events, such as catching Pokémon, battling, encountering some characters, etc., not because of it shows some Pokémon before the time (such as Kecleon or Wynaut) it goes in depth of everything on Pokémon, it means that it is just media where Satoshi Tajiri wants to give an update of what's coming. So, according to the games (and basing on how cloning works on real world), Mewtwo was born from Mew. '''[[User:Hfc2x|hfc]][[User talk:Hfc2x|2X]]''' 01:06, 11 November 2008 (UTC)
::::::Choose to believe what you want but Mewtwo was cloned in the anime and the games and was not technically born. Mewtwo's Red and Blue entry "It was created by a scientist after years of horrific gene splicing and DNA engineering experiments" meaning it was cloned. It was never stated that Mewtwo was inplanted in Mew and there is no proof of that. The book that said "Mew gave birth" is all you have to go by and it's most likely a metaphor and not a literal statement.--'''[[User:InuMimi|いぬ]][[User talk:InuMimi|みみ]]''' 22:33, 13 November 2008 (UTC)
Cloned and born is the same. There is no clone that grows in a tank. If the anime showed something like that is just because it's children-oriented and some children just don't know how they born. Also I don't think it's important either, this looks like a forum thread. '''[[User:Hfc2x|hfc]][[User talk:Hfc2x|2X]]''' 04:18, 14 November 2008 (UTC)
:You and I both know that the Pokémon world works differently from our own.

They are not created the same way. --'''[[User:InuMimi|いぬ]][[User talk:InuMimi|みみ]]''' 22:34, 14 November 2008 (UTC)
:: To be honest, as much as we say giving birth is a metaphor, etc. At the end of the day, things stated as fact in the anime are NOT considered to be true in the games. In the games, disregarding all evidence from the anime, we are told nothing about Mewtwo's creation other than that it was cloned (I think this first appears in Yellow's dex, but I'm not sure) and that Mew gave birth to it. We also know that these two events are possible to both be true. Additionally, I seem to recall the information about Mew giving birth to Mewtwo being written in someone's log of events - it seems unlikely that they would use metaphors in a log of events. Basically, what I'm trying to say is, based on the evidence exhibited in the games, NOT IN THE ANIME, clearly, Mewtwo was cloned from Mew, and Mew gave birth to Mewtwo.- ''unsigned comment from [[User:Gastly's mama|Gastly's mama]] ([[User talk:Gastly's mama|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Gastly's mama|contribs]]){{ #if: | {{{2}}} |}}''

::::You make it sound like Mewtwo was conceived. "It was created by a scientist after years of horrific gene splicing and DNA engineering experiments."-Mewtwo's Red/Blue Pokédex entry. Technically by this, Mewtwo was created by a scientist after years of DNA experiments. All of Mewtwo's Pokédex entries except Yellow, Gold, Silver, and Stadium 2; mention something about genetic mutation and engineering. It was never stated that after the scientific genetic engineering, Mewtwo was implanted into Mew. Sure, in the real world, a clone is implanted into a parent, but you and i know that the real world and the Pokémon world can be quite different from each other. And with this being an encyclopedia, you can't just assume something took place because that's what would really happen. Either it was a metaphor refering to the fact that after years of attempting to successfully clone something from Mew, the scientists were finally able to create something (something being born of Mew's DNA), or Nintendo/GameFreak really wanted to confuse people on how Mewtwo was created, in the games anyway. --'''[[User:InuMimi|いぬ]][[User talk:InuMimi|みみ]]''' 01:20, 10 December 2008 (UTC)

{{spoilers}}
The Mewtwo in Special is actually quite a prominent character, having appeared in the series which starred Red as a main character. While it doesn't make much of an appearance in the RGB saga, it actually makes a difference in the Yellow saga, with Yellow imitating the Psywave attack to supposedly defeat Lance. Even after that, in the FRLG saga, Mewtwo actually becomes part of the crew, having defeated R once, rescued Green's parents, beating the shit out of Deoxys and being the main reason why Red, Blue, Green, Yellow and Silver were turned to stone.

Obviously the whole "resembles Freeza from Dragon Ball Z" thing is way too out of whack, but both Mewtwo and Giygas have various similarities, including the tails, the ears, the similar bad tempers, the white bodies and the fact that the team that worked on the Mother series also worked on the Pokémon series.--[[User:Jake|Jake]] 16:56, 14 May 2009 (UTC)

== false info? ==

The article says mewtwo is the first pokemon to use a genII move, but i think that's false.

for one thing I'm pretty sure Mewtwo doesn't use that spherical attack until his battle with mew.

From how Mewtwo acts using psychic in Stadium, and given that psychic can be in a spherical form it might just be psychic he's using.

Donphan uses Rollout at the opening battle. [[User:Yami Takashi|Yami]] 19:37, 25 May 2009 (UTC)

:Well how are you so sure Donphan is using Rollout? We have just as much evidence that it uses Rollout as Mewtwo's using Shadow Ball: on the basis that it looks like that traditional attack. Also, SSBM Mewtwo, who is obviously based on the movie Mewtwo, has Shadow Ball as an attack. I will give you that Donphan most likely displayed the first Gen II move but Mewtwo most likely used Shadow Ball. --[[Tracey Sketchit|'''ケンジ''']][[User talk:Kenji-girl|'''の''']][[User:Kenji-girl|'''ガール''']] 21:13, 25 May 2009 (UTC)

::Well it does get hard to tell when the creators can't keep a conform appearance to moves. Psychic has been used as balls of energy, common levelitation of the opponent then throwing the opponent. I think its even been used as a force field.

::I'm pretty sure Donphan takes the goal for first II gen move used. If i remember the beginning of the movie right, mewtwo mostly just used shock wave like attacks and levitation. [[User:Yami Takashi|Yami]] 21:19, 25 May 2009 (UTC)

:A lot of what we get for the behavior sections comes straight from the anime or manga. Barely any of it is explained in the games for any Pokémon.

== Trivia Too Long ==
I think the trivia on Mewtwo's page is way too long, and could really use a trim-down.

== Nocturnal? ==

At the end of Mewtwo Returns, it was stated that Mewtwo had chosen to roam freely at night. Being the only one, this would make its species nocturnal. Should this be added to the behavior section? --'''[[User:EpicShadow|Epic]][[User talk:EpicShadow|Shadow]]''' 03:58, 14 December 2010 (UTC)

But searching on this same site, other Niue coins featuring Mewtwo, with different values (1 dollar and 50 dollars, I think) appear too.
Also, other Pokémon were featured according to this site and to a quick search on eBay: http://search.reviews.ebay.com/?satitle=pokemon&ucat=6213&uqt=r

Where in the games is any of that stated? I never played FireRed or LeafGreen so if it's in one of those then nevermind, but in Red / Blue / Yellow the only mention of Dr. Fuji in regard to the lab is that he's the lab's founder and there is absolutely no mention of Blaine in regard to the lab or Mewtwo.

I'm sure I'm not the first person to notice that even though Mewtwo's movesets from Generation I show that it starts off with Confusion and Disable, it is impossible to legally own one knowing those moves. They get replaced by two of the four it would have learned by level 70, the lowest possible level it can be obtained in.

:Because it's never been shown to actually use the ability. Wobbuffet could get a new ability in gen V, and Jessie's could be shown to have that one. Or it may have some anime-exclusive ability.

== Super Smash Bros. Melee trivia ==

I know we're not allowed to add trivia, and I wasn't even sure it was noteworthy in the first place, so I'll ask here: in the Event Match called "Legendary Pokémon" in [[SSBM]] sometimes a Wobbuffet will pop out of a Pokéball instead of a Legendary Pokémon. I think this is an obvious reference to the anime, but I again, I wasn't sure if it was noteworthy. Maybe it belongs on the SSBM article. Anybody know? [[User:Bulbajer|Bulbajer]] 19:44, 7 June 2011 (UTC)
:Exactly how is this a reference to the anime? --[[User:Mr.lol|Mr.lol]] 20:35, 7 June 2011 (UTC)
::I think he is referring to Wobbuffet's habit of popping out of its Poke Ball at inconvenient times. And SSBM does have references to the anime (Misty's trophy depicts her in her anime gear), but I dunno if its concrete enough to add though. '''X'''[[User:Vuvuzela2010|'''Vuvuzela2010''']]'''X''' 21:07, 7 June 2011 (UTC)
:::Yeah, that's what I meant, sorry. Just for comparison, the single bit of trivia currently on the SSBM page was added by me. It's about a tiny (but I think very intentional) reference to Team Rocket in one of the many bonuses you can earn. Is that notable? I know I'm being meticullous about trivia, so thanks for helping me out anyway guys. [[User:Bulbajer|Bulbajer]] 15:10, 8 June 2011 (UTC)

== Gender? ==

Forgive me, but I must have missed something. I was under the impression we didn't assume that Wobbuffet was male just because it lacks lipstick. Or is there something else to this? - ''unsigned comment from [[User:Missingno. Master|Missingno. Master]] ([[User talk:Missingno.

::Okay. Let me explain. Wobbuffet's gender has not been confirmed yet. Just because it fell in love with a Kirlia doesn't mean anything. It could've been a male Kirlia, and don't say that that's impossible. Also, because Wobby doesn't have any lipstick doesn't change anything, Gender difference was introduced way after wobby was introduced.--[[User:Force Fire|'''F''']][[Reshiram (Pokémon)|orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F''']][[Zekrom (Pokémon)|ire]] 13:21, 1 November 2011 (UTC)

==Wobbuffet Trivia==

I think it would be an interesting bit of trivia if we actually knew how many times that Wobbuffet popped out of its Poke Ball unannounced. It would be quite an undertaking though...
[[User:Shambles12|Shambles12]] ([[User talk:Shambles12|talk]]) 07:19, 22 November 2012 (UTC)

Probably not worth it. If they brought back the character at any point, it would be a pain to update it constantly. [[User:Dralcax|(O++O) Dralcax]] ([[User talk:Dralcax|talk]]) 20:30, 2 March 2013 (UTC)

==Counter vs Mirror Coat, in anime episodes==

So in [[EP174]], it is mentioned that Jessie does not really know the difference between Counter and Mirror Coat. It is implied that Wobbuffet knows which move to use in each situation. That would suggest that whilst Jessie yells out Counter, Wobbuffet knows to use mirror coat. However, in a lot of anime episodes aired after this, I look at the pages for the episode and see people pointing out an error. The error is Jessie calling "Counter" or "Mirror Coat" and Wobbuffet using the opposite. Would anyone be able to help me go through the episode pages to edit this out since it was resolved?

'''Manaphy''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''マナフィ''' ''Manaphy'') is a {{type|Water}} [[legendary Pokémon]].

It is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon. Manaphy has the unusual ability to breed, despite being a legendary Pokémon. It is also unusual in that its offspring are {{p|Phione}}, which do not evolve into Manaphy.

It is a member of the {{DL|Legendary Pokémon|sea guardians}} with Phione.

Manaphy was the last Pokémon in the [[List of Pokémon by Sinnoh Pokédex number|Sinnoh Pokédex]] before the {{v2|Platinum}} expansion.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Manaphy is a small, blue, aquatic Pokémon. It has stubby feet and club-like arms that are longer than its body. Manaphy has a red gem on its chest, and a yellow dot below the gem. Manaphy has an onion-shaped head with a pair of long blue antennae, which have small spheres on the end. Manaphy’s irises are dark blue, although the outermost portions of its eyes are yellow, with two yellow dots of “eyebrow” markings extending from the eyes. Eighty percent of Manaphy's body is made of water and is highly susceptible to its environment. One of these reactions is that when Manaphy reproduces in an ocean that's warmer than those that they are native to, the child will be a {{p|Phione}} as opposed to another Manaphy.

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

===Special abilities===
Due to Manaphy's high water content in its body, it can {{a|Hydration|heal itself whenever it is raining}}. Manaphy can control water and focus it into attacks such as {{m|Water Pulse}} and {{m|BubbleBeam}}. Manaphy can also switch the perspective of people, and Pokémon, with each other, by using its [[signature move]], {{m|Heart Swap}}. It can also {{m|Acid Armor|melt into water}}, much like Phione and {{p|Vaporeon}}. Manaphy is able to recall its birthplace as well.

===Behavior===
Due to the presence of the special Egg, most portrayals of Manaphy are newborns with a childlike demeanor. Manaphy has been observed to be playful, similar to the behaviors of {{p|Mew}}, {{p|Celebi}} and {{p|Jirachi}}.

===Habitat===
Manaphy appears to be native to the cold oceans of the [[Fiore]] region, but cannot hatch there, instead usually only being able to be hatched in the [[Sinnoh]], [[Kanto]] or [[Johto]] regions.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

==In the anime==
===Major appearances===
====[[Manaphy (M09)]]====
[[File:Manaphy M09.png|thumb|250px|Manaphy in the anime]]

{{OBP|Manaphy|M09}} is the star of the ninth movie, ''[[M09|Pokémon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea]]''. It is initially an Egg that an evil gang and [[The Phantom|its leader]] wants to steal. Manaphy hatches in {{an|May}}'s hands and helps the [[People of the Water]] to find the [[Samiya]]. It is known as the Prince of the Sea. It was mentioned in ''[[DP089|Up Close and Personable!]]'' but not seen.

===Minor appearances===
A Manaphy appears in the intro of ''[[PK16|Pikachu's Ocean Adventure]]''.

{{left clear}}

==In the manga==
[[File:Manaphy manga.png|thumb|250px|right|Manaphy in the manga adaptation of Pokémon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea]]
===In the W Mission Story: Pokémon Ranger - the Comic manga===
In the manga [[W Mission Story: Pokémon Ranger - the Comic]], {{ra|Cameron}} from [[Summerland]] found Manaphy's Egg on Fiore's Sea. Then, it was stolen by the [[Go-Rock Squad]], who wanted to use its enormous powers for bad purposes when it hatched. This plan failed when [[Solana]] and [[Lunick]] saved the Egg and it was given to a {{adv|Diamond|Trainer}} who lives in [[Sinnoh]].

===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
Manaphy appears as a silhouette in the {{chap|Emerald}} of the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga. [[Guile Hideout]] plans to use a fake {{p|Kyogre}} created by {{p|Jirachi}} to find Manaphy, although the reason he is targeting it is unknown.

At the very end of the {{chap|Platinum}}, Manaphy's Egg was sent from Fiore to {{adv|Diamond}} and {{adv|Pearl}}, who hatched it. Later, a Phione Egg appeared by Manaphy at the Pokémon Day Care in Solaceon.

===In the Pokémon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea manga===
{{main|Manaphy (M09)}}
Manaphy is a main character in the ninth [[Pokémon movie]], ''[[M09|Pokémon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea]]''. Likewise, it appears in the [[Pokémon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea (manga)|manga adaptation]] of the film by [[Makoto Mizobuchi]].

===In the Pocket Monsters DP manga===
Manaphy first appears as an {{pkmn|Egg}} in [[PMDP11]] which {{OBP|Red|Pocket Monsters}} and his Pokémon find on sea. {{OBP|Professor Oak|Pocket Monsters}} investigates it and tells the group about the Egg hatching into a legendary Pokémon. It later hatches into Manaphy but becomes lazy due to {{TP|Red|Clefairy}}'s parenting skills.

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

==In the TFG==
One Manaphy figure has been released.

* {{TFG|Black Star Promo}}: {{TFG ID|Black Star Promo|Manaphy|6}}

==Other appearances==
[[File:SSBB Manaphy.png|thumb|220px|right|Manaphy on Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]
===[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]===
When released from a [[Poké Ball]], Manaphy uses {{m|Heart Swap}}, which temporarily switches the body of the user with another player. KO's count for the player in control, not the character's normal player, preventing easy KOs via suicide.

====Trophy Information====
''"A Seafaring Pokémon. Eighty percent of its body is made of water. It has the ability Hydration, which allows it to restore status effects at the end of the turn if it's [[Weather condition|raining]]. It is the only Pokémon who can use the stat-effect-swapping move called {{m|Heart Swap}}. Place a Manaphy and a {{p|Ditto}} in the Pokémon Day Care, and they will produce a Phione egg."''

==Game data==
===NPC appearances===
* {{g|Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness}}: While exploring [[Surrounded Sea]], the team finds a Wonder Egg that hatches into a Manaphy. They look after it for a while but it becomes sick from spending too long out of the sea. Manaphy is sent to live with a {{p|Walrein}} but returns soon after the defeat of {{p|Darkrai}} to officially join the team now that he has grown up. Manaphy loves to explore and discovered the [[Marine Resort]]. Manaphy loves Gummis, especially the Blue Gummi due to being a {{t|Water}} type.

==Trivia==
[[File:ManaphyEgg.png|right|frame|A Manaphy Egg]]
* Manaphy's English name was uncovered, alongside the English name of [[Sinnoh]], within the internal data of {{ga|Pokémon Ranger}} on November 2, 2006.
* {{p|Jirachi}} and Manaphy are the only [[legendary Pokémon]] to have not been given an in-game location in the [[Version|main series]] as of yet. Manaphy is also the only Pokémon that cannot be found in a [[Version|main series]] game.
** Manaphy is also the only event Pokémon to date that debuted in a spin-off game rather than in the main series.
* Manaphy is actually lighter and smaller than Phione.
* Manaphy and {{p|Ditto}} are the only Pokémon that are both able to breed and are unobtainable through breeding.
* Manaphy (and Phione if it is legendary) are the only legendary Pokémon capable of producing Eggs in a {{pkmn|Day Care}} legitimately.
* Manaphy and {{p|Heatran}} have the lowest [[Egg cycles]] of all legendary Pokémon, with only 11 cycles.
* Although normally genderless, in [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness]], Manaphy is constantly referred to as a male.

* In Manaphy's {{v2|Platinum}} Pokédex entry, it says that it can connect with the heart of any Pokémon using a special power it possesses from birth, which is a reference to Manaphy's [[signature move]], {{m|Heart Swap}}. However, Manaphy actually can't learn this move until level 76.
* In the games, Manaphy is the only Pokémon whose Egg sprite is different than the standard sprite.
** Despite the fact that Eggs cannot be transferred via [[Poké Transfer]], Manaphy's Egg is found in {{Gdis|List of Pokémon by index number|V|the coding of}} {{game|Black and White|s}}.
* Manaphy's title, "''The Prince of the Sea''", may be a reference to the {{wp|sea butterfly}}. Another name for the sea butterfly is Thecosomata, which means "''sluglike angel of the sea''."
* It is nearly impossible to get a {{Shiny}} Manaphy. Most [[Mystery Gift]]ed Pokémon are coded so that if the [[personality value]] generated for the Pokémon is one that would make it Shiny under the Trainer it is given to, the personality value is regenerated until it ends up not Shiny. However, transferring in a Manaphy Egg via Mystery Gift will only cause the Egg's generated value to be checked against the current [[Trainer ID number]] and Secret ID number. Thus, on trading to another game, with a different Trainer ID and Secret ID, the Manaphy has a chance at hatching Shiny.
* Manaphy is the lightest {{type|Water}} Pokémon.
* Manaphy is 80% water, which is supposedly high enough to be greatly affected by the environment and to have various aqueous properties. However, humans are 70-80% water as well.
===Origin===
{{bulbanews|On the Origin of Species: Manaphy and Phione}}
Manaphy may be based on {{wp|sea angel}}s, tiny transparent ocean mollusks. The Manaphy Egg's design is similar to {{wp|Turritopsis nutricula}}.

====Name origin====
Manaphy may be a combination of ''{{wp|mana}}'' and a shortening of ''fairy''.

==Trivia==
*All Pokémon that learn Acid Armor through breeding are in the {{egg2|Amorphous}}.
*Although a {{type|Poison}} move, Acid Armor is frequently depicted (particularly in the anime) as the Ability to melt into water or otherwise liquefy one’s own body structure, due to its Japanese name being ''Liquefy''. Furthermore, Grimer and its evolution are the only Poison-type Pokémon that can learn Acid Armor by leveling up.

'''Lyra''' (Japanese: '''コトネ''' ''Kotone'') is the female [[player character]] in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}. Lyra takes over the role from {{ga|Kris}} in {{game|Crystal}}. Her male counterpart is {{ga|Ethan}}.

==Storyline in the games==
===When selected as the player character===
Lyra's journey as a {{pkmn|Trainer}} begins when [[Professor Elm]] asks her to run an errand for [[Mr. Pokémon]], who lives north of [[Cherrygrove City]]. Because she may encounter dangerous wild {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} along the way, Elm gives her a choice between three Pokémon for protection: {{p|Cyndaquil}}, {{p|Totodile}} or {{p|Chikorita}}.

Lyra meets a strange boy the same age as her watching Elm's Lab from outside. When she tries to talk to him, the boy abruptly shoves her away. The boy, {{ga|Silver}}, will become Lyra's rival, analogous to {{ga|Blue}} in [[Generation I]] and [[Generation III|III]].

Lyra continues onward and finally meets Mr. Pokémon and completes the errand. While there she meets [[Professor Oak]] who, upon realizing Lyra's bond with her new Pokémon, gives her a [[Pokédex]]. On her way back home, Lyra again meets Silver, who has stolen one of Elm's remaining Pokémon. After defeating the boy in battle, she learns his name from his dropped {{ga|Trainer Card}} and relays it to the police in New Bark Town. Professor Elm allows Lyra to keep the Pokémon she chose earlier, and encourages her to compete in the [[Johto League]].

From there Lyra begins on a Pokémon journey in the [[Johto]] [[region]], facing off against its eight [[Gym Leader]]s, defeating and disbanding the revived [[Team Rocket]], and becoming [[Pokémon Champion|Pokémon League Champion]] by defeating the [[Elite Four]] and its previous Champion, [[Lance]] at [[Indigo Plateau]]. Along the way she also teaches Silver to respect Pokémon as living creatures and not just as tools for battle.

After being declared the Pokémon League Champion, Lyra then takes a short trip on a ship, the [[S.S. Aqua]], from [[Olivine City]] to [[Vermilion City]] in [[Kanto]]. Journeying across that region, she battles against its own set of eight Gym Leaders. Upon getting permission from [[Professor Oak]] in [[Pallet Town]], Lyra heads for [[Mt. Silver]] via {{rt|28|Kanto}}. Her journey comes to a close when she faces the Champion from Pallet Town Pokémon Trainer {{ga|Red}} at the summit of Mt. Silver, who had been training there since shortly after he became Pokémon League Champion [[Generation III|three years prior]].

===When not selected as the player character===
[[File:HGSS Prerelease Ethan Lyra.png|thumb|left|200px|Lyra speaking with {{ga|Ethan}}]]
If {{ga|Ethan}} is selected to be the player character, Lyra meets him in [[New Bark Town]] at the start of the game. In this particular scene, she is seen with a {{TP|Lyra|Marill}}. Her role in the storyline of HeartGold and SoulSilver is similar to that of {{ga|Lucas}}/{{ga|Dawn}} in {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}} if they are not chosen as the player character, while Ethan takes this place if she is selected as the player. She teaches the player how to catch Pokémon on {{rt|29|Johto}} (replacing the [[Dude]] from {{3v2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}).

While playing as Ethan, her grandparents run the [[Pokémon Day Care]] on {{rt|34|Johto}}. She also gives the player the [[Fashion Case]] in [[Goldenrod Tunnel]] and the [[Vs. Recorder]] on {{rt|31|Johto}}. Naturally, this role is given to Ethan if she is the player character.

When called from certain locations, Lyra will mention that something will happen if the player takes a certain Pokémon there.

Lyra uses this party to show the {{player}} how to catch Pokémon when {{ga|Ethan}} is selected as the player character in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}.

==Counterparts==
[[File:Lyra anime.png|thumb|250px|right|Lyra's anime counterpart]]
Shortly after the release of {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, an {{an|Lyra|anime counterpart}} of Lyra appeared in the episodes from ''[[DP143|An Egg Scramble!]]'' to ''[[DP147|Bagged Then Tagged!]]''. Much as with {{an|May}} and {{an|Dawn}}, she shares both her English and Japanese names with the player character she is based on.

Although Lyra doesn't appear separately in the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga, {{adv|Crystal}} essentially serves as counterpart by wearing her {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} outfit in the arc thanks to her mom forcing her to wear it against her will.

==Trivia==
* Before her official name was revealed, fans referred to her as '''Soul''' referring to [[Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver Versions|Pokémon SoulSilver Version]], based on the name used by {{ga|Leaf}}.
* Some fans assume that {{ga|Kris}} and Lyra are one and the same. [[Takao Unno]] revealed in an interview that he designed Lyra from scratch.
* Lyra shares many of her Japanese default names with {{ga|Leaf}} and {{ga|Dawn}}. She also shares all of {{ga|Kris}}'s default Japanese names.
* Occasionally, Lyra will call and claim that her {{p|Marill}} evolved into {{p|Azumarill}}. However, regardless of this, her Marill is never shown to have evolved, implying she has more than one Marill.
* Lyra is {{tt|4'11"|1.52 m}} tall and weighs {{tt|90.4 lbs|41 kg}}.
* Occasionally, her overworld sprite's hair may phase through countertops, railings, and the like.

==Names==
Like her Japanese name, Lyra's international names are all derived from musical instruments.

Valuable item

2013-01-27T20:24:30Z

Dralcax: /* Valuable items that can be sold in Poké Marts */

{{incomplete|needs=B2W2 item locations}}
A '''valuable item''' is an [[item]] which generally serves no practical purpose other than to be sold, usually for a high price.

In [[Generation II]] and {{gen|IV}}, it is possible to buy some of these items for a discount (but only one of each per day) on Mondays in the morning in the [[Goldenrod Tunnel]]. In [[Pokémon Black and White Versions|Pokémon Black]], some of these items are sold in [[Black City]], albeit for prices much higher than they can be sold for. Often, these items later become [[exchangeable item]]s. In [[Generation V]], [[mulch]]es and [[flute]]s became valuable items due to losing their function. While most of these items can be sold at [[Poké Mart]]s, those introduced in [[Generation V]] can only be sold to certain [[item maniac]]s. Besides Big Nuggets, Pearl Strings and Comet Shards, the player can also sell normal Nuggets, Pearls and Big Pearls, Stardust and Star Pieces to the maniac inside the Icirrus Pokémon Center, for double the price presented below.

==Trivia==
* The SlowpokeTail is actually a useless item with no function past its monetary value. Although it is said that a Slowpoke will use its tail for fishing, a SlowpokeTail has no effect on fishing at all, nor does it have any effect on {{p|Shellder}} despite the fact that contact with a Slowpoke's tail usually induces a spiral change.
* The first time that humans eating Pokémon is mentioned explicitly in the games is when a [[Team Rocket]] member mentions the SlowpokeTail's value as a delicacy.
* The Japanese name for nugget, きんのたま ''kin no tama'', literally means "golden ball", which is also a colloquial term for testicles. The man offering his "golden ball" is a frequent joke amongst Japanese fans. As this pun would be lost in translation, as well as would not go over well with parent groups, it was translated as "nugget of wisdom".
* The Rare Bone and {{DL|Stat-enhancing item|Thick Club}} share the same bag sprite.

Valuable item

2013-01-27T20:22:48Z

Dralcax: /* Valuable items that can be sold in Poké Marts */

{{incomplete|needs=B2W2 item locations}}
A '''valuable item''' is an [[item]] which generally serves no practical purpose other than to be sold, usually for a high price.

In [[Generation II]] and {{gen|IV}}, it is possible to buy some of these items for a discount (but only one of each per day) on Mondays in the morning in the [[Goldenrod Tunnel]]. In [[Pokémon Black and White Versions|Pokémon Black]], some of these items are sold in [[Black City]], albeit for prices much higher than they can be sold for. Often, these items later become [[exchangeable item]]s. In [[Generation V]], [[mulch]]es and [[flute]]s became valuable items due to losing their function. While most of these items can be sold at [[Poké Mart]]s, those introduced in [[Generation V]] can only be sold to certain [[item maniac]]s. Besides Big Nuggets, Pearl Strings and Comet Shards, the player can also sell normal Nuggets, Pearls and Big Pearls, Stardust and Star Pieces to the maniac inside the Icirrus Pokémon Center, for double the price presented below.

==Trivia==
* The SlowpokeTail is actually a useless item with no function past its monetary value. Although it is said that a Slowpoke will use its tail for fishing, a SlowpokeTail has no effect on fishing at all, nor does it have any effect on {{p|Shellder}} despite the fact that contact with a Slowpoke's tail usually induces a spiral change.
* The first time that humans eating Pokémon is mentioned explicitly in the games is when a [[Team Rocket]] member mentions the SlowpokeTail's value as a delicacy.
* The Japanese name for nugget, きんのたま ''kin no tama'', literally means "golden ball", which is also a colloquial term for testicles. The man offering his "golden ball" is a frequent joke amongst Japanese fans. As this pun would be lost in translation, as well as would not go over well with parent groups, it was translated as "nugget of wisdom".
* The Rare Bone and {{DL|Stat-enhancing item|Thick Club}} share the same bag sprite.

'''Gengar''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ゲンガー''' ''Gangar'') is a dual-type {{2t|Ghost|Poison}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Haunter}} when [[trade]]d. It is the final form of {{p|Gastly}}.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Gengar is a dark purple, furred Pokémon with a roundish body. Gengar's hands now connect to the rest of its body. In addition, it now has a {{DL|List of Pokémon by body style|Pokémon with a bipedal, tailed form|pair of legs and a short, pointed tail}}. Gengar has a spiky fur-covered back. Gengar's eyes are now red, and its mouth is usually curled into a sinister grin.

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

===Special abilities===
[[File:Morty Gengar.png|thumb|200px|left|[[Morty]]'s Gengar floating through the air]]
Gengar have the ability to hide perfectly in the shadow of any object, granting it exceptional stealth. However, Gengar's body acts as a {{wp|heat sink}}; its presence cools the temperature of the surrounding area by nearly 10°F, because it took the warmth. In addition, Gengar possesses the ability to fly through the air, as demonstrated by [[Morty]]'s Gengar. Since Gengar is a fully evolved Pokémon, it can use {{m|Hyper Beam}} and {{m|Giga Impact}}.

===Behavior===
Gengar are very mischievous, and at times, malicious. They enjoy playing practical jokes, such as pretending to be one's shadow, then behaving erratically. When the quarry notices, the Gengar takes delight in its victim's terror. However, Gengar have been known to be loyal to {{pkmn|Trainer}}s that treat them well; the smile is less mischievous and friendlier in this case. Gengar may also cast {{m|curse}}s.

===Habitat===
[[File:Cave.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Cave Pokémon}}]]
Gengar live in shadows of rooms, caves, and dark places where shadows form, especially in urban areas such as cities and back alleys but only during the night. Gengar are also known to live in mountains. It normally shares its range with {{p|Gastly}} and {{p|Haunter}}, but reports of wild Gengar are not unheard of.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}
Gengar drains the life force from its victims. It may also {{m|Dream Eater|eat its victim's dreams}}. Like its pre-evolution, Haunter, it may {{m|lick}} its prey to drain the life force.

==In the anime==
[[File:Fantina Gengar.png|thumb|210px|right|Gengar in the anime]]
===Major appearances===
Gengar first appeared in the opening of the first episode, ''[[EP001|Pokémon - I Choose You!]]'', where it and a {{p|Nidorino}} battled in a Colosseum on TV.

{{Ash}} first saw a Gengar in person in [[Lavender Town]] in ''[[EP023|The Tower of Terror]]'' while searching for a {{type|Ghost}} Pokémon to fight [[Sabrina]] with. Due to a close call, Ash got to spend some unexpected time with the ghostly trio, {{p|Gastly}}, {{TP|Sabrina|Haunter}}, and Gengar. It, along with Haunter, seemed to have a fondness for {{wp|Tsukkomi|Japanese stand-up}}, and attempt to (unsuccessfully) amuse Ash by acting as a pair of performers. It reappeared in a flashback in the [[EP024|following episode]].

In ''[[EP072|The Ancient Puzzle of Pokémopolis]]'', a {{pkmn2|giant}} Gengar was awakened near the ancient city of [[Pokémopolis]] where it battled an equally large {{p|Alakazam}}.

{{OBP|Drake|Orange League}} of the [[Orange Archipelago|Orange Islands]] used a Gengar in his battle with Ash in ''[[EP111|Hello, Pummelo!]]'' and ''[[EP112|Enter The Dragonite]]''. His Gengar managed to confuse [[Ash's Tauros]] before he returned it and instead tried with [[Ash's Lapras]]. In the collision between {{m|Night Shade}} and {{m|Ice Beam}}, both Lapras and Gengar fainted.

A Gengar appeared under the ownership of [[Ecruteak City]] [[Gym Leader]] [[Morty]] in ''[[EP181|A Ghost Of A Chance]]'', ''[[EP182|From Ghost to Ghost]]'', and ''[[EP227|For Ho-Oh the Bells Toll!]]''.

[[Agatha]] used a Gengar to battle [[Ash's Pikachu]] in ''[[AG132|The Scheme Team]]''. The Ghost Pokémon defeated Pikachu.

Gengar was the leader of "[[Team Meanies]]" in ''[[SS019|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Team Go-Getters out of the Gate!]]''.

A Gengar appeared in ''[[DP090|Ghoul Daze!]]'' together with its pre-evolutions, {{p|Gastly}} and {{p|Haunter}}.

===Minor appearances===
A group of Gengar, along with a group of Haunter, was creating illusions within a forest in ''[[EP121|Illusion Confusion!]]''.

A Gengar appeared in ''[[EP169|Beauty and the Breeder]]'' where it participated in a Pokémon beauty contest.

A Gengar appeared in ''[[EP186|UnBEARable]]'' in {{an|Brock}}'s thoughts.

A Gengar appeared under the ownership of a Trainer in ''[[M04|Celebi: Voice of the Forest]]''.

A Gengar was partnered with two [[Team Rocket]] trainees in ''[[SS012|Training Daze]]''.

A Gengar appeared in ''[[DP091|One Team, Two Team, Red Team, Blue Team!]]''.

A Gengar under the ownership of [[Hearthome City]]'s Gym Leader [[Fantina]] appeared in a flashback in ''[[DP093|Playing the Leveling Field!]]'', and appeared in ''[[DP102|A Shield with a Twist]]'' where it was defeated by [[Ash's Buizel]].

==In the manga==
[[File:Agatha Gengar Adventures.png|thumb|[[Agatha]]'s Gengar, as seen in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
In [[Pokémon Adventures]], [[Agatha]] has two Gengar on her team, and many in her {{type|Ghost}} army. One of them was used to attack {{adv|Blue}} and [[Koga]] from the shadows, draining the latter's life force as it possessed his shadow. Eventually, it was taken down when Koga used the tail that the old woman's {{p|Arbok}} bit off his own to distract it long enough for [[Blue's Porygon2|Blue's Porygon]] to deal the finishing blow.

Another Gengar was seen at the beginning of the FireRed and LeafGreen saga in {{PAV|23}}. It was used by a kid from [[Pallet Town]] in an attempt to capture a {{p|Nidorino}}, thus replicating the opening sequence of the [[Generation I]] video games (and their {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s|remakes}}).

===In the Pokémon Pocket Monsters manga===
{{OBP|Blue|Pocket Monsters}}'s Gengar debuted in ''[[PM007|Get Rid Of The Ghost Pokémon!!]]'' as a Haunter. There it evolved while battling {{TP|Red|Clefairy}}.

{{OBP|Green|Pocket Monsters}} caught a Gengar prior to [[PM054]] but officially debuted in [[PM055]].

===In the Pokémon Gold & Silver: The Golden Boys manga===
In ''[[GB13|A Promise Given to Miltank]]'', Morty called out Gengar to stop a {{p|Spearow}} from stealing the satchel that contained berries collected by {{GnB|Gold}}.

===In the Pokémon Zensho manga===
[[Agatha]]'s Gengar went up against {{Zensho|Satoshi}}'s {{p|Alakazam}} and lost in ''[[PZ10|Indigo Plateau]]''.
{{-}}

===In the Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Ginji's Rescue Team manga===
The Gengar from [[Team Meanies]] appears as a major character and antagonist.

==Game data==
===NPC appearances===
* {{g|Pinball}}: A Gengar appears in a bonus stage accessible from the Red Table. Once the player has knocked out the three {{p|Gastly}} and the pair of {{p|Haunter}}, a Gengar that appears must be defeated to win.
* [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team]]: Gengar is the leader of [[Team Meanies]]. While often accompanied by {{p|Ekans}} and {{p|Medicham}}, Gengar will often act alone and spends much of the game causing trouble, even convincing the village to exile the hero, blaming him or her for the natural disasters. However, it is later revealed that he is the cursed human.

==Trivia==
* In the [[Pokémon Red and Green beta|Pokémon Red and Blue beta]], Gengar was originally known as "Phantom".
* Gengar, along with {{p|Nidorino}}, with whom it battles in the beginning of {{game5|Red|Blue|Green|FireRed|LeafGreen}}, originate from the ''[[Capsule Monsters]]'' manga, which is considered the precursor to the Pokémon franchise.
* Gengar can be caught in the wild in [[Generation IV]] through the [[dual-slot mode]], as can another Pokémon previously obtainable only via trading, {{p|Steelix}}, though Steelix can be battled normally.
* Even though Gengar is part {{type|Poison}}, like its pre-[[evolution]]s, it cannot learn any Poison-type moves via level up.
* Gengar is tied with {{p|Froslass}} for the fastest {{type|Ghost}} Pokémon, with a base {{stat|Speed}} of 110, and has the highest base {{stat|Special Attack}} stat of any {{type|Poison}} Pokémon at 130.
* When being escorted through [[Mt. Freeze]] and [[Murky Cave]] in [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team]], it knows {{m|Leer}}, {{m|Scratch}}, and {{m|Quick Attack}}, although it cannot learn those moves by any means in any generation.
* Gengar is shorter than its pre-evolution, {{p|Haunter}}. The same thing happens to {{p|Dragonite}}, {{p|Bellossom}}, and {{p|Porygon2}}.
* Gengar is the same height as {{ga|Ethan}}. While many other Pokémon share this distinction, Gengar comes the closest to also weighing the same (Gengar weighs {{tt|89.3 lbs|40.5 kg}}, the Trainer weighs {{tt|88.2 lbs|40 kg}}).
*Gengar is similar to [[Clefable]], in both size and shape. This has led to speculation that Gengar is Clefable's doppelganger.
* Although it has the Ability {{a|Levitate}}, it can be heard landing on the floor when sent out of its Poké Ball. It shares this trait with {{p|Eelektross}}.

===Origin===
It seems to be simply based on general cartoonish {{wp|ghost}}s, {{wp|cat}}s, or {{wp| Cheshire Cat}} and possibly on a distorted shadow of a human being like {{wp|shadow people}}.

====Name origin====
Gengar and Gangar are possibly a shortening of ''{{wp|doppelgänger}}'', a double of a person, which is fitting for a Pokémon with a habit of pretending to be a person's shadow. The kanji 幻 ''maboroshi'' can also be read as ''gen'' and is used in words meaning ''phantom'' or ''illusion''. There is also a striking pronunciation similarity to the Danish word ''{{wp|gjenganger|genganger}}''.

Dralcax: /* Froakie's Possible Origins */

It's suggested that the name comes from Frog and Croak. While this is possible, it would be strange for it to not reference water in some way. Another possible pair of words for it to come from is Frog and Soak. The "ie" could be just a diminutive, of course. [[User:Aielyn|Aielyn]] ([[User talk:Aielyn|talk]]) 00:25, 9 January 2013 (UTC)

Froth (as in to bubble) could also be a possibility for the English name.
--[[User:CoolDudeAl|CoolDudeAl]] ([[User talk:CoolDudeAl|talk]]) 01:34, 9 January 2013 (UTC)

Considering that the French name is partially derived from "mousse" and it would be odd to have a double animal name derivation rather than say an animal name and a water reference, I'll bet it really is "froth" + "croak" too

== Froakie's Possible Origins ==

Just posting this in the discussion in case people may have problems with this: Froakie's inspiration seems to be based upon a few factors, most notably its foam pouch is based upon various species of frogs whom create foam nests for their eggs to keep safe in. These foam nests are formed from the frog's behinds and, while creating them, eventually envelop the backs of the parent frogs, hence the backpack resemblance Froakie's foam pack has and why it is located upon its back. This seems to also match up with Froakie's japanese name, as it contains matsu which translates to bubble or foam. [http://i281.photobucket.com/albums/kk231/050294/_47199014_frognest_5121.jpg Here]'s an example image of a frog and its foam nest. Unfortunately, I am not quite sure which exact species of foam nest making frogs Froakie may have been based on.

Now then, onto the origin of the white round dots upon its face. These dots, coupled with the foam pouch and white glove-like markings it has seems to indicate that Froakie's possible origin is that of the image of Japanese folklore thieves and robbers, an example drawing of said thief/robber design can be seen [http://i281.photobucket.com/albums/kk231/050294/thief.jpg here]. The foam backpack of sorts upon Froakie resembles that of the thief's furoshiki, a japanese cloth bag seen on the image of said thief that they carry their loot in. The dots resemble the ends of another furoshiki tied upon the thief's nose, used as a mask of sorts to hide the thief's/robber's identities. The gloves are also simply a sort of thief/robber general stereotype as well. This seems to indicate that Froakie may posisbly end up as a dark type upon evoluton; this guessing of type, however, is just pure speculation on my part. - [[User:050294|050294]] ([[User talk:050294|talk]]) 00:23, 10 January 2013 (UTC)
:I think he looks a bit more... professorial than that. The little blobs look more like glasses than a knot. They're not attached to anything, for a start. Plus, I don't think many thieves wear white. I reckon they're meant to resemble pince-nez. Big, white, flowing hair on the back, like a professor, or a composer, or a judge. Could be wrong, though! You might be entirely right - and it's a great spot of research either way, fun read! [[User:Constantmotion|Constantmotion]] ([[User talk:Constantmotion|talk]]) 10:04, 10 January 2013 (UTC)
::Actually the dots are "connected" to the pouch via the blue stripe upon its head which lead down its back. This I feel, for this specific Japanese robber image, is pretty fitting considering the openness of their furoshiki masks and perhaps the one stripe being the only connector may have simply been implemented just to emphasize this trait. Also, I wouldn't take color into origin consideration. Pokemon don't necessarily have to be matching the origin with color. Sometimes with specific references, like in delibird's case, correct colors are vital. However, most Pokemon are either colored in bright, odd colors or ones that match with it's typing: Froakie being blue not because of the thief origin but rather because of it's water typing, like how Heatmor is bright red like fire instead of normal anteater colors. Also, thank you for the compliment! I really enjoy analyzing things. So origins, or at least their speculations and research, are my specialty! - [[User:050294|050294]] ([[User talk:050294|talk]]) 14:28, 10 January 2013 (UTC)

== Name origin ==

I don't think wyvern is a likely origin—if it were pronounced "WAI-vel-tal" then maybe, but otherwise it is not similar in pronunciation or spelling (it shares "ve" with it). The Yv combination seems to be more common in French (e.g. {{wp|Yvelines}} is the top suggestion on Wikipedia when typing Yv in the search box). I think the name may come from French rather than English, which is why we cannot find an apparent origin. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 15:58, 11 January 2013 (UTC)

I agree with you however when you say that "wyvern" is not part of the name origin (but probably the origin of the concept for the design). Yveltal is pronunced in a Latin way, as French people or Italians would do, like "evil-tal", so I suggested it's probably "evil" + Quetzalcoatl?

== Genesect: Mewtwo of Gen V ==

I got a lot of hunches on this pokemon being artificially created by Team Plasma. There are some reasons why: First, both are being developed as the most strongest pokemon created by science. Second, they originated from the remains of a extinct pokemon (Mewtwo originated from a fossilized hair of Mew and Genesect originated from a bug-like fossil). Third, both villainous group shares the same goal on making them the strongest pokemon ever created to rule the world. And fourth, both of them escaped for unknown reasons in the games. But I know there are more to this relation, somehow....

== Origin of Genesect? ==

Maybe it's a plural/singular grammatical issue, but the article says that

"Genesect may be generally based on the giant insects of the Paleozoic era, although its Steel-type features give it a somewhat robotic appearance. It has existed for 300 million years, making it as old as the cockroach."

Does "it" refer to "giant insects" or does it refer to Genesect, for if it refers to Genesect, than it's wrong right? --[[User:Joeshie|+ Joeshie +]] ''([[User talk:Joeshie|is Mæ!]])'' 02:51, 17 October 2010 (UTC)

I remember Arceus had fan art until its Sugimori art is revealed, so will Kerudio, Meloetta, and Genesect follow the same route?

== Evolution? ==

Why are the 5 different images of Genesect shown in the evolution? The cassettes only affect ONE move and a coloring of ONE detail, nothing else. It's no major forme change and is far less impressive than Arceus's formes, doesn't change stats, type or anything like others like Meloetta for instance. I don't think it should be considered to evolve. --—[[User:Venomoth|'''''V'''e№moth'']][[User talk:Venomoth| ♦]] 01:56, 6 January 2011 (UTC)
:It isn't evolution, it's forme change, first of all. Second, Genesect's different formes' sprites are needed just as much as Gender differences are. Gender differences don't effect type, moves, stats, or anything! It's just a "small" difference in appearence, but its still used because it makes the article more complete showing what the different genders look like. Just like how showing Genesect's different formes make the page more complete by showing what it looks like when holding specific items. --[[User:Landfish7|'''Land''']][[User talk:Landfish7|'''fish7''']]''' 02:05, 6 January 2011 (UTC)
::Yes, I know the differences between forme, evolution and gender and this is not really making much sense. Look at Arceus, Its coloring changes but so does Its ''type'' when it holds its objects that give it that forme change - Similar to Genesect's cassettes, but a bigger change. Secondly, everyone came after me when I did [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Kenhorou_%28Pok%C3%A9mon%29&oldid=1234971#Evolution this], a very obvious, but according to all the other users who ganged up on me, unimportant difference, as was also pointed out to me with [[Burungel (Pokémon)|this one]].

:::::On a somewhat related note, I don't quite like how the form evoboxes are set up. Using Genesect's as an example, it is linear, so it says that only certain forms can change to other ones, which is not true. Genesect holding any kind of cassette (or none at all) can then switch items to any other (or discard it). The evobox should be a big circle with arrows going between all possible combinations. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 01:38, 7 January 2011 (UTC)
:::::: Might be easier to not use any arrows at all. Two-way arrows or simple lines could seem messy if we can instead figure out a placement that doesn't lend itself to strict ordering. How about 3 above and 2 below, or 2 above and 3 below? Or 2, 2, 1, with no Cassette as the odd one out? Or if that circle is really on the table, just place them in it unconnected. But other than that, I definitely see the merit in toticombinatory arrows. [[User:PLA|PLA]] 17:29, 17 January 2011 (UTC)

==Genesis?==
Genesect does not have an official pronunciation as of yet; it could be jenna-sect for all we know.

I would also like to add something to the origin.

== Sprites ==

It would be a good idea to make a little template that only shows one form of Genesect at a time (ie, normal, holding blaze cassette, holding aqua cassette, etc) like Arceus's one?

How do we know all of Genesect's moves? Also, how do we even know that it's real? Is it in the coding? Or did they reveal it subtly? [[User:Pringles|Pringles]] 21:55, 10 April 2012 (UTC)
:It's coded into the game. It can be obtained via hacking and it has its moves via that too. ☆[[User:Solar Dragon|The]] [[User talk:Solar Dragon|Solar]] [[Special:Contributions/Solar Dragon|Dragon]]☆ 22:07, 10 April 2012 (UTC)

== Just to be sure before adding something. ==

I wanted to add this:

Also does it look like Genesect's head has the same shape as the (hollow) 'standard' of its cannon. Making it look like its head could kinda 'click' on the 'standard'. And also seems the hollow standard to be big enough to contain the rest of its body, giving Genesect's design the concept of 'Transformers'.

in the Physiology or Origin. But I'm not sure about copyright, so could anybody tell me if it's right or not? [[User:Nickvang|Nickvang]] 15:11, 11 April 2012 (UTC)

: It's mostly correct. The turret doesn't really fit its head, but the trailer shows its legs retracting and the body fitting into that hollow section to turn into a ''hover tank''. So yeah, this looks like Game Freak's attempt to homage the Insecticons. --[[User:KingStarscream|KingStarscream]] ([[User talk:KingStarscream|talk]]) 16:34, 12 October 2012 (UTC)

::Great, I knew those legs were meant to fit into the hollow part underneath the cannon. But let's wait until we see more of the movie before adding something. [[User:Nickvang|Nickvang]] ([[User talk:Nickvang|talk]]) 19:10, 8 November 2012 (UTC)

== What kind of Modifications did they Do to this pokemon!? ==

Genesect's head is Clearly a Beat Box of some kind, it takes music cassettes in to change the type of the attack "Techno Blast", but there's no reference to this anywhere on the page. Is it worth a notation of some sort? Or is it wiser to wait for more validiation, as it is after all the only pokemon not to have a full reveal now :P

== Polish name. ==

...you know we take Pokémon names from English? I've never saw or heard a name in Polish version of Pokémon that isn't the same as in English (except pronouncation, of course). Of course, I could miss something. [[User:Marked +-+-+|Marked +-+-+]] 17:02, 6 June 2012 (UTC)
:Mind if I ask your point? Genesect's Polish name is already on the page. [[Typhlosion (Pokémon)|★]][[User:Jo The Marten|Jo the Marten]][[Flygon (Pokémon)|★]] [[User_Talk:Jo The Marten|ಠ_ಠ]][[Cilan (anime)|♥]] 17:06, 6 June 2012 (UTC)
::Yes, it is. But why it is there if it's the same as English? Our games are in English, and we don't have our Pokémon names like Japan, [english-speaking countries], France or Spain... of course there could be exceptions, but as far as I saw, animé uses the same names, with most likely only {{tt|pronunciation|or whatever is this spelt}} changed. [[User:Marked +-+-+|Marked +-+-+]] 14:12, 8 June 2012 (UTC)
:::It's already been removed anyway, so don't worry about it. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 14:13, 8 June 2012 (UTC)
::::I guess I'm just a tad confused. So you don't have your own separate games in Polish, you just import the English versions? [[Typhlosion (Pokémon)|★]][[User:Jo The Marten|Jo the Marten]][[Flygon (Pokémon)|★]] [[User_Talk:Jo The Marten|ಠ_ಠ]][[Cilan (anime)|♥]] 16:27, 8 June 2012 (UTC)
:::::As far as I know, yes, we don't have separate games. This is why not many moves have Polish translation, as I get it from animé, while someone got few things like {{a|Drought}} from a book (guidebook I'll guess). Games themselves aren't officially translated (or I don't know anything about such games). I am not sure how we get them, though. Try talking to [[User talk:OldBen|OldBen]], as far as I know, he has such books (as he was the one to add Polish names for Drought, {{a|Drizzle}} and few other stuff).

==Genesect a reference to Neon Genesis Evangelion?==

http://i.imgur.com/WNgWa

I think Genesect may be an homage to Neon Genesis Evangelion. The colour of him and his shiny sprite look very similar to the Unit-01 and Unit-02 respectively. Even down to the secondary colours used on the eyes. The stripe on the abdomen looks like the stripe on the Evas midsections. The origin story of Genesect is also very similar. The Eva units were created from a humanoid alien and modified to be piloted. The eva units are actually biological creatures with armour and a cockpit attached. Genesect's head looks similar to the mass produced eva units long heads. (Not pictured.) The choice of colours seems pretty deliberate.

[[User:Flintlock|Flintlock]] ([[User talk:Flintlock|talk]]) 08:45, 18 June 2012 (UTC)

: True, but as I mentioned above it looks more like one of the Insecticons from Transformers. Maybe a double reference? --[[User:KingStarscream|KingStarscream]] ([[User talk:KingStarscream|talk]]) 16:35, 12 October 2012 (UTC)

== Pokédex entries ==

Please corrected the Pokédex entries from Black & White 2: '''It lived 300 million years ago. Team plasma modified it and planted him on the back up a gun.''' Thanks. [[user:HetAnubis|''HetAnubis'']] [[user talk:HetAnubis|(talk)]] 11:27, 15 July 2012 (UTC)

== Pokedex ==

on the official pokemon website it isn't listed in the pokedex. why is that? [[User:Bryce|Bryce]] ([[User talk:Bryce|talk]]) 08:57, 30 July 2012 (UTC)
:Because it hasn't been officially released in any English-speaking countries yet. Only in Japan. [[Typhlosion (Pokémon)|★]][[User:Jo The Marten|Jo the Marten]][[Flygon (Pokémon)|★]] [[User_Talk:Jo The Marten|ಠ_ಠ]][[Cilan (anime)|♥]] 09:13, 30 July 2012 (UTC)

== Translated site ==

I don't know if this is just a translation error, but the site translated this into English:
"Pokemon Genosekuto of this newly found vision, " Pokemon Black 2 White 2 in the normal play of "can not be put in hand, special Pokemon.
Genosekuto is, would you Pokemon was born by Dan plasma to restore the fossils 300 million years ago, to remodeling!"
So does that mean Genesect can't be put into the party, or is it just misread? It's probs a mistake, since it'd be pointless not to be able to use it.-- [[User:Pringles|Pringles]] 00:29, 1 August 2012 (UTC)
:It just means you can't obtain it in-game without divine intervention from a Nintendo event, as is usually the case with Event Legendaries. [[User talk:Yeyjordan|yeyjordan]] 03:33, 1 August 2012 (UTC)

== Possible Ancestor ==

Would Kabutops be considered an ancestor I mean look at the body type and stance they both seem to make. They could be deeply related despite Kabutops living in the ocean he still goes on land to hunt. {{unsigned|EvasiveEmolga}}
:No. [[Typhlosion (Pokémon)|★]][[User:Jo The Marten|Jo the Marten]][[Flygon (Pokémon)|★]] [[User_Talk:Jo The Marten|ಠ_ಠ]][[Cilan (anime)|♥]] 10:15, 19 October 2012 (UTC)
::It really doesn't work considering that Genesect is part bug, an attribute Kabutops doesn't have, and that their body shapes are different for example their torsos while Genesect has a typical insect body,segmented, Kaputops have 1 section to their torso. for this to have happened Plasma would have to remove a section of Kaputobs and inflame the pelvis to reach the specified shape which i am positive wouldn't really serve a purpose to the pokemon. Plus shouldnt he theoretically have a gender and ability to breed with other Kabutops or pokémon in the same egg group? --[[User:Toymoo|Toymoo]] ([[User talk:Toymoo|talk]]) 18:23, 25 October 2012 (UTC)
:::And, Genesect's stance is only like that because of the giant laser on its back. Also gotta lean a little to aim, just like Blastoise. '''[[Team Rocket|R.A.]] [[User:Rocket Admin Hunter Blade|Hunter]] [[User Talk:Rocket Admin Hunter Blade|Blade]]''' 18:48, 25 October 2012 (UTC)
::::Of course it's not exactly the same, it's "altered". The dex doesn't say "altered by adding a cannon to its back" it says it was altered AND had a cannon attached to its back. But... There's nothing official to go off, just a lot of interesting links that can be drawn between the two. Unless someone actually bothers to ask the design team (which nobody ever does for some reason), I wouldn't say there's enough basis for it to be included in the article.

Grass (type)

2012-12-23T23:20:47Z

Dralcax:

{{types}}
The '''Grass type''' (Japanese: '''くさタイプ''' ''Grass type'') is one of the seventeen [[type]]s. Notable Trainers that specialize in Grass-type Pokémon are [[Erika]] of [[Celadon City]], [[Gardenia]] of [[Eterna City]], and [[Cilan]] of [[Striaton City]]. Prior to Generation IV, where moves are designated [[Physical move|physical]] or [[Special move|special]] based on the move itself rather than its type, all Grass-type moves were special.

==Characteristics==
===Offense===
Offensively, Grass-types have problems. The main problem Grass-type moves face is that nearly all of the few Pokémon they are advantageous against are also weak to moves of other types, hence making them seem dwarfed by the effectiveness of moves of other types. However, they have a valuable advantage over commonly used Water/Ground Pokémon such as Quagsire or Marshtomp. Other problems are that too {{t|Bug|many}} {{t|Fire|Pokémon }} {{t|Steel|types}} {{t|Flying|resist}} {{t|Dragon|these}} {{t|Poison|moves}} (including themselves) to rely on them as a main form of dealing damage, and most of them aren't very powerful. Even then, most of the powerful moves have drawbacks, which can cause more trouble. For example, {{m|Leaf Storm}} sharply lowers Special Attack, {{m|Wood Hammer}} causes recoil damage, {{m|Petal Dance}} causes confusion, {{m|SolarBeam}} requires charging up if {{m|Sunny Day|intense sunlight}} is not nearby and {{m|Frenzy Plant}} requires a turn to recharge after being used. The moves that have no drawbacks, like {{m|Power Whip}}, are very rare. Furthermore, the majority of Grass-types have very narrow movesets, often where the only damage-dealing level up moves are Grass-type and {{type|Normal}} moves (as seen in Pokémon such as {{p|Meganium}}, {{p|Cherrim}} and {{p|Sunflora}}). Another problem is that double resistances to Grass are extremely common, even more so than double weaknesses, and the Ability {{a|Sap Sipper}}, which several Pokémon have, negates Grass-type attacks, raising Attack whenever hit with one.

Grass-type Pokémon seem to be affected by [[weather conditions]] more than most other Pokémon, due to their closeness with plants and nature. Most power up under {{weather|intense sunlight}}, while a few others work best under other conditions, such as {{p|Ludicolo}} in {{weather|heavy rain}}, {{p|Cacturne}} in {{weather|sandstorm}}s or {{p|Abomasnow}} in {{weather|hailstorm}}s. A majority of Grass types have above-average Attack or Special Attack as well as high Speed, as seen in {{p|Sceptile}}, {{p|Leafeon}}, and {{p|Lilligant}}, which can become mixed, physical, and special sweepers, respectively.

===Defense===
Defensively speaking, Grass types have both good and bad points. Whilst weak to {{type|Ice}} and {{type|Fire}}—two very commonly used types offensively—the other weaknesses of the Grass types are rarely used offensively; furthermore, two of the types that specialise in moves that Grass types are weak to are hindered by their poor offensive stats. Also, most Grass types have a secondary type which eliminates their weaknesses to Poison- and Bug-type moves (which in turn makes {{type|Flying}} moves more of a threat). Further, all of Grass's resistances are quite common.

On the other hand, Grass types' main problem is their weakness to five types—the most weaknesses of all types (tied with {{t|Rock}}). Also, in practice, Grass types' resistances are still of little use. Almost all Water types can use {{m|Ice Beam}}, and most Electric types can learn {{m|Signal Beam}}. With a number of Grass types being part Poison-type as well, Grass types' resistance to Ground-type moves has been hindered. Given all of this, Grass types are difficult to switch into play.

Despite some of its defensive flaws, it is typical for Grass types to learn Leech Seed and Synthesis, among other disabling moves, like {{m|PoisonPowder}}, {{m|Sleep Powder}} and {{m|Stun Spore}}. This enables these Pokémon to provide support to the rest of their team, and can make them difficult to faint. In addition, a particular asset of this type is being the only one immune to Leech Seed.

===Contest Properties===
When used in Contests, Grass-type moves typically become [[Smart Contest|Smart]] moves, but can also be any of the other four Contest types.

==Pokémon==
As of Generation V, there are {{tt|74|77, including Wormadam, Rotom, and Shaymin's forms}} Grass-type Pokémon or {{tt|11.40%|11.86%, including Wormadam, Rotom, and Shaymin's forms}} of all Pokémon, making it the fourth most common type.

==Trivia==
* The Grass type is tied with the {{t|Rock}} type for the largest number of weaknesses when unpaired, with five: {{t|Bug}}, {{t|Flying}}, {{t|Ice}}, {{t|Fire}} and {{t|Poison}}. Coincidentally, Rock is super effective against all of Grass's weaknesses except for Poison.
* All Pokémon that have seven weaknesses are partially of the Grass type.
* There is at least one Pokémon with each type combination that has a double weakness to Grass. For example, {{p|Omanyte}} is {{2t|Water|Rock}}, {{p|Whiscash}} is {{2t|Water|Ground}}, and {{2t|Rock|Ground}} types are the most plentiful.
** This trait is also shared with {{t|Water}}, {{t|Flying}} and {{t|Psychic}}.
* Grass type has been resisted by the most types, having the {{t|Dragon}}, {{t|Bug}}, {{t|Flying}}, {{t|Steel}}, {{t|Fire}}, and {{t|Poison}} types resist it, as well as resisting itself.
* The Grass type has the most Pokémon that evolve by [[evolutionary stone]]s, with a total of 11. It is also the type that can utilize the most stones, having at least one Pokémon that can evolve via the {{evostone|Leaf Stone}}, {{evostone|Sun Stone}}, {{evostone|Water Stone}}, and {{evostone|Shiny Stone}}.
* Grass type is the only type that both resists and is strong against {{t|Water}} type.
* Generation V introduced the most Grass-type Pokémon of any Generation, with 20 and Generation II introduced the fewest Grass-type Pokémon, with 10.
* There are 27 Pokémon with double weakness to Grass, more than any other type.
** Moreover, in all generations Grass was the most common double weakness, with the exception of [[Generation I]] where the {{t|Bug}} type had one more Pokémon with a double weakness to it.
** However, Grass is also the most doubly resisted type.
* Generation I introduced the most Grass-type moves of any Generation, with ten and Generation II introduced the fewest Grass-type moves, with three.

Talk:Remoraid (Pokémon)

2012-12-23T18:17:09Z

Dralcax: /* Relation to Magikarp and Feebas? */ new section

==Origin==
In the trivia section, it says that Remoraid bears no relation to Octillery, evolving from a fish to an octopus. However, I'm not sure Remoraid is entirely based on a fish. Based on the shape of it's body, it appears to also be, at least partly, based on an octopus larva. This would explain why it evolves into an octopus. Here is an image of an octopus larva for comparison: [http://26.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lj237b4ODq1qzgq9eo1_500.jpg Octopus Larva]. Note how the shape of it's body is similar to Remoraid's.--[[User:Gioku|G]][[User talk:Gioku|ioku]] 01:20, 10 August 2011 (UTC)
:Looks more like a crab or a turtle to me...[[User:Ataro|Ataro]] 01:21, 10 August 2011 (UTC)
::I also forgot to mention that the octopus larva's eyes are in the same spots on it's head as Remoraid's.--[[User:Gioku|G]][[User talk:Gioku|ioku]] 01:31, 10 August 2011 (UTC)
:::Going by that picture, there is quite a resemblance (same body shape, minus the fins of course). '''X'''[[User:Vuvuzela2010|'''Vuvuzela2010''']]'''X''' 01:46, 10 August 2011 (UTC)
::::Didn't the anime state (I think it was by Gary in Johto Photo Finish) that Remoraid and Octillery were nothing alike? They wouldn't make a point of highlighting that if Remoraid was based off a larva. Besides, the relationship between the two is gun->cannon, rather than anything else. - [[User:Blazios|Blazios]] [[User Talk:Blazios|talk]] 12:52, 10 August 2011 (UTC)
:::::Yes, this is true; but I think maybe Remoraid's body shape and eye placement could be alluding to the fact that it evolves into an octopus. It's obviously not the only thing it's based on, nor the most prominent, but I think it is there to make Remoraid slightly more related to Octillery. And, also, the anime isn't always the same as the games. Or, Gary (or whoever said it) might not have known about this, either!--[[User:Gioku|G]][[User talk:Gioku|ioku]] 17:20, 10 August 2011 (UTC)

== Relation to Magikarp and Feebas? ==

I really don't see a relation to the Useless Fishes. Yes, they all evolve into completely different animals, but I think the only biological relationship is between Magikarp and Feebas, with nothing to do with Remoraid. Magikarp and Feebas are fishes that turn into dragons. Both have such a drastic evolution because they are based off of stories. Remoraid just evolves based on the artillery theme.[[User:Dralcax|(O++O) Dralcax]] ([[User talk:Dralcax|talk]]) 18:17, 23 December 2012 (UTC)

== Can this be removed? ==

I can't stress this enough Just because somthing looks simmilar to somthing else does not say anything about it's origin. Can the part about the Napalm man be removed? It is speculation and therfore does not belong in the origin section, unless there is evidence to support it (If some is found please tell me what it is). --'''[[User:EpicShadow|Epic]][[User talk:EpicShadow|Shadow]]''' 00:13, 10 October 2010 (UTC)

I noticed this and thought it would be good trivia:

== Genesect: Mewtwo of Gen V ==

I got a lot of hunches on this pokemon being artificially created by Team Plasma. There are some reasons why: First, both are being developed as the most strongest pokemon created by science. Second, they originated from the remains of a extinct pokemon (Mewtwo originated from a fossilized hair of Mew and Genesect originated from a bug-like fossil). Third, both villainous group shares the same goal on making them the strongest pokemon ever created to rule the world. And fourth, both of them escaped for unknown reasons in the games. But I know there are more to this relation, somehow....
[[User:Duo2nd|Duo2nd]] 02:46, 17 October 2010 (UTC)
:Uh like what? Lots of Gen V Pokémon have similarities. Doesn't mean they're related. Also, Mewtwo being created by Team Rocket isn't confirmed to be canon in the games. —♥ [[User:Jello|Jello]][[User Talk:Jello|talk]] 02:54, 17 October 2010 (UTC)
::It's not confirmed because it isn't true. Mr. Fuji and Blaine weren't a part of TR in the games [[User:Ataro|Ataro]] 02:59, 17 October 2010 (UTC)
:::Note that the Pokédex entry says RE-constructed meaning that it probably wasn't created by team plasma in the first place, probably created by some anciant race or the monarchy. Still it is unlikely that it has any relation to any of the other Pokémon. --'''[[User:EpicShadow|Epic]][[User talk:EpicShadow|Shadow]]''' 04:12, 17 October 2010 (UTC)

== Origin of Genesect? ==

Maybe it's a plural/singular grammatical issue, but the article says that

"Genesect may be generally based on the giant insects of the Paleozoic era, although its Steel-type features give it a somewhat robotic appearance. It has existed for 300 million years, making it as old as the cockroach."

Does "it" refer to "giant insects" or does it refer to Genesect, for if it refers to Genesect, than it's wrong right? --[[User:Joeshie|+ Joeshie +]] ''([[User talk:Joeshie|is Mæ!]])'' 02:51, 17 October 2010 (UTC)
:What are you suggesting is wrong? Genesect has existed for 300 million years, it says so in its Black dex entry (which I haven't gotten around to translating and adding yet). I'm not quite sure if that really fits in its origin section, though... [[User:Umeko|梅子]][[User talk:Umeko|❀]][[Special:Contributions/Umeko|✿]] 18:15, 17 October 2010 (UTC)

:::Is Genesect actualy robotic or part robotic? This may very easily be irelevent to the outcome of it's origin, but it reminds me of Atlatian technology. It was believed that the technology of Atlantis could be used to creat powerful Vehicles, wepons and atomatons. It also says in the Pokédex that it was reconstructed suggesting it was created by someone other than team plasma (althogh I don't know who). --'''[[User:EpicShadow|Epic]][[User talk:EpicShadow|Shadow]]''' 19:58, 17 October 2010 (UTC)

==Artwork?==

I was wondering - what will be done for artwork section of the event legendary Pokémon until their official Ken Sugimori art is released? I remember Arceus had fan art until its Sugimori art is revealed, so will Kerudio, Meloetta, and Genesect follow the same route? I'd be happy to provide Sugimori-style artwork for them if that ends up being the case. I know this is probably jumping the gun quite a bit, but I figured it couldn't hurt to ask. [[User:Xous|Xous]] 22:49, 26 October 2010 (UTC)
:Most likely we will get Dream World art. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 12:48, 1 November 2010 (UTC)

::::At the moment at least, Dream World art looks very unlikely, as all of the site's Pokemon listings drop off after #646.

:I'm not sure if there's been a policy change regarding using fan art as placeholders, but in the case of Arceus there was simply a tiny line of text below the image stating "Fan Artwork of Arceus" or something to that effect. I would upload the artwork to the articles myself, but I don't want to break any rules or overstep my bounds, and I really don't know how I'd go about adding the artwork (and I don't want to risk messing up the pages).

I heard almost everyone at YouTUBE giving Genosect the nickname Dennis due to the confusion caused with Geechisu's battle music. Prior to the reveal it was Geechisu's theme instead of Genesect's theme everybody called it Dennis due to the chorus in the track.

"Genesect is currently the only Pokémon which names a villainous team in its Pokédex entry." The game isn't even out in English, and this is in the article?

== Evolution? ==

Why are the 5 different images of Genesect shown in the evolution? The cassettes only affect ONE move and a coloring of ONE detail, nothing else. It's no major forme change and is far less impressive than Arceus's formes, doesn't change stats, type or anything like others like Meloetta for instance. I don't think it should be considered to evolve. --—[[User:Venomoth|'''''V'''e№moth'']][[User talk:Venomoth| ♦]] 01:56, 6 January 2011 (UTC)
:It isn't evolution, it's forme change, first of all. Second, Genesect's different formes' sprites are needed just as much as Gender differences are. Gender differences don't effect type, moves, stats, or anything! It's just a "small" difference in appearence, but its still used because it makes the article more complete showing what the different genders look like. Just like how showing Genesect's different formes make the page more complete by showing what it looks like when holding specific items. --[[User:Landfish7|'''Land''']][[User talk:Landfish7|'''fish7''']]''' 02:05, 6 January 2011 (UTC)
::Yes, I know the differences between forme, evolution and gender and this is not really making much sense. Look at Arceus, Its coloring changes but so does Its ''type'' when it holds its objects that give it that forme change - Similar to Genesect's cassettes, but a bigger change. Secondly, everyone came after me when I did [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Kenhorou_%28Pok%C3%A9mon%29&oldid=1234971#Evolution this], a very obvious, but according to all the other users who ganged up on me, unimportant difference, as was also pointed out to me with [[Burungel (Pokémon)|this one]].

::::The thing is that there is a distinction between Forme differences and gender differences.

:::::On a somewhat related note, I don't quite like how the form evoboxes are set up. Using Genesect's as an example, it is linear, so it says that only certain forms can change to other ones, which is not true.

==Genesis?==
Genesect does not have an official pronunciation as of yet; it could be jenna-sect for all we know. I was wondering if the "Gene" prefix could refer to genesis, in one instance meaning the beginning of something. The games say Genesect has existed for quite a long time, so could this be a name origin?-- [[User:Swagmander|Swagmander]] 04:07, 10 February 2011 (UTC)
:A long time =/= beginning. It is isn't as unlikely and the option below, but it most likely refers to gene/genetics/a similar term.

:::It should be noted that Japan does not have a romanised word for Genocide starting with ゲノ. Genocide is romanized as ジェノサイド (JEnosaido.) What the Geno part in its name refers to is actually Genome (ゲノム/Ge-no-mu, and that's Geh, not Jee)... Which is why I think the English name is utterly ridiculous because it never was referring to Genocide in the slightest. Design be damned. I'd personally prefer it if people removed the thing about Genocide in the name details, since it's never referred to that at all. Common sense and language knowledge here, people.

== Just to be sure before adding something. ==

I wanted to add this:

Also does it look like Genesect's head has the same shape as the (hollow) 'standard' of its cannon. Making it look like its head could kinda 'click' on the 'standard'. And also seems the hollow standard to be big enough to contain the rest of its body, giving Genesect's design the concept of 'Transformers'.

in the Physiology or Origin. But I'm not sure about copyright, so could anybody tell me if it's right or not? [[User:Nickvang|Nickvang]] 15:11, 11 April 2012 (UTC)

: It's mostly correct. The turret doesn't really fit its head, but the trailer shows its legs retracting and the body fitting into that hollow section to turn into a ''hover tank''.

Genesect's head is Clearly a Beat Box of some kind, it takes music cassettes in to change the type of the attack "Techno Blast", but there's no reference to this anywhere on the page.

==Genesect a reference to Neon Genesis Evangelion?==

http://i.imgur.com/WNgWa

I think Genesect may be an homage to Neon Genesis Evangelion. The colour of him and his shiny sprite look very similar to the Unit-01 and Unit-02 respectively. Even down to the secondary colours used on the eyes. The stripe on the abdomen looks like the stripe on the Evas midsections. The origin story of Genesect is also very similar. The Eva units were created from a humanoid alien and modified to be piloted. The eva units are actually biological creatures with armour and a cockpit attached. Genesect's head looks similar to the mass produced eva units long heads. (Not pictured.) The choice of colours seems pretty deliberate.

[[User:Flintlock|Flintlock]] ([[User talk:Flintlock|talk]]) 08:45, 18 June 2012 (UTC)

I heard almost everyone at YouTUBE giving Genosect the nickname Dennis due to the confusion caused with Geechisu's battle music. Prior to the reveal it was Geechisu's theme instead of Genesect's theme everybody called it Dennis due to the chorus in the track. Not sure if alot of people still refer to him as such now but could we atleast mention it since Tsutarja's page mentioned Smugleaf?

"Genesect is currently the only Pokémon which names a villainous team in its Pokédex entry." The game isn't even out in English, and this is in the article?

== Evolution? ==

Why are the 5 different images of Genesect shown in the evolution? The cassettes only affect ONE move and a coloring of ONE detail, nothing else. It's no major forme change and is far less impressive than Arceus's formes, doesn't change stats, type or anything like others like Meloetta for instance. I don't think it should be considered to evolve. --—[[User:Venomoth|'''''V'''e№moth'']][[User talk:Venomoth| ♦]] 01:56, 6 January 2011 (UTC)
:It isn't evolution, it's forme change, first of all. Second, Genesect's different formes' sprites are needed just as much as Gender differences are. Gender differences don't effect type, moves, stats, or anything! It's just a "small" difference in appearence, but its still used because it makes the article more complete showing what the different genders look like. Just like how showing Genesect's different formes make the page more complete by showing what it looks like when holding specific items. --[[User:Landfish7|'''Land''']][[User talk:Landfish7|'''fish7''']]''' 02:05, 6 January 2011 (UTC)
::Yes, I know the differences between forme, evolution and gender and this is not really making much sense. Look at Arceus, Its coloring changes but so does Its ''type'' when it holds its objects that give it that forme change - Similar to Genesect's cassettes, but a bigger change. Secondly, everyone came after me when I did [http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/w/index.php?title=Kenhorou_%28Pok%C3%A9mon%29&oldid=1234971#Evolution this], a very obvious, but according to all the other users who ganged up on me, unimportant difference, as was also pointed out to me with [[Burungel (Pokémon)|this one]]. Genesect is somewhere between these two cases, but mostly, if ''Arceus'' is not considered evolved through its forme changes, Genesect definitely shouldn't be either. --—[[User:Venomoth|'''''V'''e№moth'']][[User talk:Venomoth| ♦]] 02:37, 6 January 2011 (UTC)

::::The thing is that there is a distinction between Forme differences and gender differences.

:::::On a somewhat related note, I don't quite like how the form evoboxes are set up. Using Genesect's as an example, it is linear, so it says that only certain forms can change to other ones, which is not true. Genesect holding any kind of cassette (or none at all) can then switch items to any other (or discard it). The evobox should be a big circle with arrows going between all possible combinations. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 01:38, 7 January 2011 (UTC)
:::::: Might be easier to not use any arrows at all. Two-way arrows or simple lines could seem messy if we can instead figure out a placement that doesn't lend itself to strict ordering. How about 3 above and 2 below, or 2 above and 3 below? Or 2, 2, 1, with no Cassette as the odd one out? Or if that circle is really on the table, just place them in it unconnected. But other than that, I definitely see the merit in toticombinatory arrows. [[User:PLA|PLA]] 17:29, 17 January 2011 (UTC)

== Worth Noting? ==

Should it be written that Genesect is the third man made Pokemon after Porygon and Mewtwo. I count Porygon as one since its two evolved forms are simply upgraded versions of it. [[User:Frozen Fennec|Frozen Fennec]] 18:30, 14 January 2011 (UTC)

==Genesis?==
Genesect does not have an official pronunciation as of yet; it could be jenna-sect for all we know. I was wondering if the "Gene" prefix could refer to genesis, in one instance meaning the beginning of something. The games say Genesect has existed for quite a long time, so could this be a name origin?-- [[User:Swagmander|Swagmander]] 04:07, 10 February 2011 (UTC)
:A long time =/= beginning. It is isn't as unlikely and the option below, but it most likely refers to gene/genetics/a similar term.

== Genocide? ==

:::It should be noted that Japan does not have a romanised word for Genocide starting with ゲノ. Genocide is romanized as ジェノサイド (JEnosaido.) What the Geno part in its name refers to is actually Genome (ゲノム/Ge-no-mu, and that's Geh, not Jee)... Which is why I think the English name is utterly ridiculous because it never was referring to Genocide in the slightest. Design be damned. I'd personally prefer it if people removed the thing about Genocide in the name details, since it's never referred to that at all. Common sense and language knowledge here, people.

== Sprites ==

It would be a good idea to make a little template that only shows one form of Genesect at a time (ie, normal, holding blaze cassette, holding aqua cassette, etc) like Arceus's one?

== Just to be sure before adding something. ==

I wanted to add this:

Also does it look like Genesect's head has the same shape as the (hollow) 'standard' of its cannon. Making it look like its head could kinda 'click' on the 'standard'. And also seems the hollow standard to be big enough to contain the rest of its body, giving Genesect's design the concept of 'Transformers'.

in the Physiology or Origin. But I'm not sure about copyright, so could anybody tell me if it's right or not? [[User:Nickvang|Nickvang]] 15:11, 11 April 2012 (UTC)

: It's mostly correct. The turret doesn't really fit its head, but the trailer shows its legs retracting and the body fitting into that hollow section to turn into a ''hover tank''.

==Genesect a reference to Neon Genesis Evangelion?==

http://i.imgur.com/WNgWa

I think Genesect may be an homage to Neon Genesis Evangelion. The colour of him and his shiny sprite look very similar to the Unit-01 and Unit-02 respectively. Even down to the secondary colours used on the eyes. The stripe on the abdomen looks like the stripe on the Evas midsections. The origin story of Genesect is also very similar. The Eva units were created from a humanoid alien and modified to be piloted. The eva units are actually biological creatures with armour and a cockpit attached. Genesect's head looks similar to the mass produced eva units long heads. (Not pictured.) The choice of colours seems pretty deliberate.

[[User:Flintlock|Flintlock]] ([[User talk:Flintlock|talk]]) 08:45, 18 June 2012 (UTC)

::It really doesn't work considering that Genesect is part bug, an attribute Kabutops doesn't have, and that their body shapes are different for example their torsos while Genesect has a typical insect body,segmented, Kaputops have 1 section to their torso. for this to have happened Plasma would have to remove a section of Kaputobs and inflame the pelvis to reach the specified shape which i am positive wouldn't really serve a purpose to the pokemon. Plus shouldnt he theoretically have a gender and ability to breed with other Kabutops or pokémon in the same egg group? --[[User:Toymoo|Toymoo]] ([[User talk:Toymoo|talk]]) 18:23, 25 October 2012 (UTC)

::::Of course it's not exactly the same, it's "altered". The dex doesn't say "altered by adding a cannon to its back" it says it was altered AND had a cannon attached to its back. But... There's nothing official to go off, just a lot of interesting links that can be drawn between the two. Unless someone actually bothers to ask the design team (which nobody ever does for some reason), I wouldn't say there's enough basis for it to be included in the article.

{{incomplete|needs=images}}
'''''Pokémon Trainer's Choice''''' is a feature from the English dub of the [[Pokémon anime]]. Starting from ''[[AG041|What You Seed is What You Get]]'', ''Trainer's Choice'' was the lead-in to the mid-show advertisement break. It replaced the [[original series]]'s ''[[Who's That Pokémon?]]''. It was not used in the original Japanese version of the anime; instead, a simple [[eyecatch]] was shown. The final ''Trainer's Choice'' aired with ''[[AG145|Pasta La Vista!]]''. It was not replaced with a similar feature.

''Trainer's Choice'' follows a simple concept. Rather than recognizing the silhouette of a Pokémon, viewers are asked a question about a Pokémon and instructed to choose the best of three possible answers, usually over a commercial break when watched on TV. Generally, the viewer is asked to determine which Pokémon has a [[damage modification|type advantage]] over another; although other questions have been asked for. The feature is guided by [[Ash Ketchum]].

When {{TPCi|Pokémon USA}} and [[TAJ Productions]] began dubbing the series, Trainer's Choice production ceased.

[[File:PokémonTrainersChoice Seviper.png|thumb|240px|left|{{p|Seviper}} evolves from {{p|Arbok}}?]]
As the successor to the long-running "Who's That Pokémon?", Trainer's Choice was initially met with criticism from some of the fandom, especially considering the change was in the middle of a newly-started saga. [[4Kids Entertainment]] very frequently made Pokémon [[type]] match-up errors, resulting in many incorrect answers given, questions with multiple correct answers, questions with no possible correct answer and questions with no right or wrong answer at all. The company also frequently made spelling errors in the names of Pokémon. These constant mistakes were seen by many as an indication that 4Kids in actuality knew very little about the franchise. The most famous example is their erroneous claim that {{p|Seviper}} evolves from {{p|Arbok}}, featured in the Trainer's Choice of ''[[AG077|A Fan with a Plan]]''; the Trainer's Choice scene in particular is a source of ridicule by many fans.

In ''[[Pokémon: Advanced Battle]]'', the creation of questions for Trainer's Choice was credited to Lawrence Neves and the accuracy rate was greatly improved. Starting with ''Advanced Battle'', the questions did not involve any relevance on another Pokémon. The question themes included best battle choice, evolutions, and others.

Talk:Heracross (Pokémon)

2012-12-18T01:38:22Z

Dralcax: /* Version exclusive? */ new section

== Origin ==

Anyone think it should say in the "Origin" section that the Hercules beetle is, weight-for-weight, the strongest insect (strongest ANIMAL, actually) in the world? That would explain how it has such an immense Attack for a Bug-type. [[User:Diachronos|Diachronos]] 16:41, 12 September 2008 (UTC)
:Go for it. '''[[User:TTEchidna|''TTE'']][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]]''' 19:56, 12 September 2008 (UTC)

I added more to his origin based on what I know about the Hercules mythology. I just remembered this yesterday when discussing Heracross with a friend, it's an amazing parallel.
--[[User:Ginocoolowski|Ginocoolowski]] 17:11, 3 May 2009 (UTC)

== Aerial Ace ==

The trivia in this article says that Heracross is the only non-flier to learn Aerial Ace by level, but I'm sure Diglett does too... That's certainly not a flier -- [[User:Gastly's Mama]]
: Diglett can learn Aerial Ace, but only through a TM. Heracross can learn it by level though. [[User:PDL|PDL]] 01:14, 28 October 2008 (UTC)

== Pokédex Entries ==

Heracross charges in a straight line at its foe, slips beneath the foe's grasp, and then scoops up and hurls the opponent with its mighty horn. This Pokémon even has enough power to topple a massive tree.
Sapphire Heracross has sharp claws on its feet. These are planted firmly into the ground or the bark of a tree, giving the Pokémon a secure and solid footing to forcefully fling away foes with its proud horn.
Also these pokedex entries make vague reference to both qualities of Antaeus, his strength when in connection with the ground and that he was a wrestler.

== sprite? ==

dont we have a sprite for platinum? ---> [[User:223david|'''223''']][[Special:Contributions/223david|☆]][[User talk:223david|'''Dåv]d''']]''' 15:48, 5 September 2009 (UTC)

:We do now. ^o^ Yeah, there's already Platinum sprites for a lot of Pokémon, I'd imagine, but they need to be uploaded under a different filename to show up. Guess what I'll be doing for the next couple of hours/days... [[User:ChaudCo|'''Chaud''']][[User talk:ChaudCo|'''Co''']]'''~''' 21:25, 10 September 2009 (UTC)

== Honey trees ==

Is it able to be found at honey trees because it likes sap? (Or at least [[Ash's Heracross]] does.) --Kimori Geckarbor Hinoarashi 23:11, 18 October 2009 (UTC) [[User:Kimori-Hinoarashi|Kimori-Hinoarashi]]
:Unrelated... or is it implied? [[User:Ht14|'''''ht''''']][[User talk:Ht14|''14'']] 23:35, 18 October 2009 (UTC)

== Pinsir ==

I've heard that Heracross was originally going to be an evolution of Pinsir, like Scizor is to Scyther, but they changed it, and made Heracross a seperate Pokemon, since it ended up looking too different. Take a look at Pinsir's base stats, and Heracross' base stats, and you'll see that they're the same, just switched around. Just like Scyther and Scizor. They're both beetles, and Pinsir mostly learns Fighting-type moves via level-up, and Heracross IS a Fighting type. Should this be mentioned in Heracross and Pinsir's articles? [[User:Master Lucario|Rath]]
:Unless you find a verifiable source, we cannot include that. —'''darklord[[User talk:The dark lord trombonator|trom]]''' 18:44, 15 February 2010 (UTC)

== HeartGold SoulSilver Locations ==

I found a tree in Azalea town that when headbutted yields exclusively Heracross, levels 4 or 5. The current data on Heracross says it shouldn't be found there at all since Azalea Town is a forest zone, not a mountain zone. I have the national pokedex in HeartGold version and found this after 6:00 on a Tuesday, in case any of that information matters. Upon further inspection after turning my game on and off (and inserting FireRed in the GBA slot, though I doubt that had any effect), I found a few Aipoms as well, but still mostly Heracross. The tree I was using is the corner one just under the West exit of the town. {{unsigned|Hot Dork}}

== Version exclusive? ==

The article claims Heracross and Pinsir are version excusives in Black 2 and White 2, although Heracross is not on any of the version exclusive lists for B2W2. [[User:Dralcax|(O++O) Dralcax]] ([[User talk:Dralcax|talk]]) 01:38, 18 December 2012 (UTC)

==Rivalry==
Is it really a rivalry with {{p|Kuitaran}}? I'd think an ant vs anteater situation would be more of a predator/victim relationship, rather than a rivalry as {{p|Seviper}}/{{p|Zangoose}} is. Aianto seems to be just prey, with a distint disadvantage, limited ability to counter attack and no evolutionary countermeasures unlike {{a|Immunity|Zangoose}}. Or am i just getting too deep into it? ([[User:Dion24|'''Dion''']][[User talk:Dion24|'''24''']]) 05:35, 5 November 2010 (UTC)
:I agree. I see it as a predator and prey relationship, not only due to their typing but also their movesets and origins. - [[User:050294|050294]] 05:46, 5 November 2010 (UTC)
::Not to get technical with competitive play, but Aianto is more likely to KO Kuitaran with Dig if not severly injure it before getting roasted. If Kuitaran took Stealth Rock damage prior to entering it's pretty much dead if it stays in the turn it gets hit with Dig. Other than such a situation then yes, Aianto is pretty much Prey and Kuitaran is pretty much Predator, but even with the typing it doesn't really mean it's a severe disadvantage by all means...

Hey you never know that this name could be named after NBA Basketball Player Kevin Durant. proof? the names are spelled the same way.{{unsigned|Woody72691}}
:And besides the name, what do they have in common? And Kevin isn't the only person with the surname Durant. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 14:51, 2 May 2011 (UTC)
he has been coined a nickname that involves another insect. Durantala. Why do you mods always ruin the fun, we can never make a edit that makes sense without proof that's unreasonable. Nintendo nerds.{{unsigned|Woody72691}}
:Here at Bulbapedia, we take pride in that label. If our standard of quality bothers you, go troll somewhere else. --[[User:AndyPKMN|AndyPKMN]] [[User talk:AndyPKMN|(talk)]] 16:48, 2 May 2011 (UTC)

It looks a lot like Titanic Ant from earthbound [http://earthbound.wikia.com/wiki/Titanic_Ant] ♢ [[User:DeadUniverse|DeadUniverse]] [[User talk:DeadUniverse|Hello!]] ♢ 19:58, 22 May 2011 (UTC)

== Antric ==
Before i discovered Bulbapedia, i was mostly on another fansite, Marriland. Marriland said that he had heard that there was a 5th generation Pokemon in Movie 12 called Antric. Due to Movie 12 featuring only the pokemon from Gen IV and before, the fact that Durant was revealed to exist later than a lot of other Pokemon, and the fact that Durant has not even been planned for the anime yet, this Antric needs some light shed on it. I only put it on this page because the Pokémon it seems close to is Durant. {{unsigned|EvilKirikizan}}
:Link? This probably would have been better suited for [[Talk:M12]]. --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 13:55, 6 June 2011 (UTC)
::[http://www.marriland.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?f=46&t=228769 Here]. It was April Fools joke, and that Antric was said to be Bug/''Electric'' type, so it's unnotable. But maybe we can mention it [[April Fools' Day 2008|here]]?--'''[[User:Dennou Zenshi|電禅]][[User talk:Dennou Zenshi|Den Zen]]''' 14:00, 6 June 2011 (UTC)
:::Hm. It appears that i didn't look at it too closely - or that that happened years ago and i signed onto Bulbapedia recently. So, it's good that that's cleared up! (note: feel free to call me stupid for saying that it was the WRONG MOVIE!) [[User:EvilKirikizan|EvilKirikizan]] 22:45, 7 June 2011 (UTC)

== Trunt ==

Shall we add the rumors in the internets into trivia, which the dream world ability "truant" is related to its kanto name share the same sound as lazy (アイアン / らいだ) and truant can also be translated to "true ant". [[User:Gspbeetle|Gspbeetle]] 08:27, 14 August 2011 (UTC)
:First of all, you can't add any trivia right now, and secondly, no rumors should be made trivia, especially things that don't come from an official source.[[User:SONICバリヤ|SONICバリヤ]] 07:26, 29 August 2011 (UTC)

== Abilities ==

Maybe we should add that Swarm and Hustle are a reference to ants living in large colonies and each being hardworking, respectively. Truant could also be a reference to the irony of a lazy ant.

Did anyone notice Purotoga looks somewhat like the unnamed turtle in [[Unreleased Pokémon and characters]]? The colours on the heads are exactly the same. Shall we write about it in the trivia? (Sorry for the lame english :/) [[User:Auralyta|Auralyta]] 12:23, 30 September 2010 (UTC)
:I don't think so. The two look extremely different; and a blue/dark blue color scheme on the heads isn't really enough to go by. --[[User:AndyPKMN|AndyPKMN]] 13:03, 30 September 2010 (UTC)
::Either way, it's speculation, so no. -[[User:Sketch|Sketch]] 13:10, 30 September 2010 (UTC)

== Tears ==

Maybe we should mention the lighter blue markings on Tirtouga's face that make it look like it's crying, it seems like a definite reference to sea turtles "crying" when they lay eggs. I think that would be a valuable piece of trivia. [[User:Dralcax|(O++O) Dralcax]] ([[User talk:Dralcax|talk]]) 02:44, 8 December 2012 (UTC)
:That does not look like tears at all...--[[User:Force Fire|'''F'''orce]][[User talk:Force Fire|'''F'''ire]] 02:47, 8 December 2012 (UTC)

Well, then why would there be random light blue under the eyes then? In my opinion, they look a bit like tears running down Tirtouga's face. Also, Carracosta does have facial protrusions that sag down from its eyes, and has the same shade of light blue around its eyes. That color is more of a watery blue and doesn't match anywhere else, so I think they're tears. [[User:Dralcax|(O++O) Dralcax]] ([[User talk:Dralcax|talk]]) 03:00, 8 December 2012 (UTC)

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

===Special abilities===
Tirtouga's shell is very tough, and it can dive down to depths of as much as 1000 meters.

===Behavior===

===Habitat===
Tirtouga once lived in the oceans long ago, sometimes coming ashore to eat. Today, the Pokémon is considered extinct.

==Trivia==
[[File:Alpha turtle.png|thumb|right|150px|Unreleased tortoise Pokémon]]
* Tirtouga and {{p|Carracosta|its evolved form}} are the only Fossil Pokémon to have {{t|Rock}} as their secondary type.
* Tirtouga has a striking resemblance to an {{DL|Prototype Pokémon and characters|Unnamed turtle|unreleased Pokémon}} which was originally planned to be released in [[Generation II]].

===Origin===
Tirtouga appears to be based on a baby {{wp|sea turtle}}, more specifically, a {{wp|leatherback turtle|leatherback}}.
It also may be based on ''{{wp|Protostega}}'', a large, prehistoric sea turtle that was smaller than the ''{{wp|Archelon}}'' that {{p|Carracosta}} may be based on.

====Name origin====
Tirtouga may be a corruption of ''tortuga'' (Spanish for ''turtle'', ''tir'' having a similar phonetic pronunciation to the ''tur'' in ''turtle'') or derived from ''{{wp|Tortuga (Haiti)|Tortuga}}'' (translated as ''Turtle Island'' in French and Spanish). It may also be a corruption of ''tartaruga'', Italian and Portuguese for ''tortoise'', seeing as turtles are closely related to tortoises.

Protoga may be a combination of ''{{wp|Protostega}}'' (an extinct turtle species largest second to only the Archelon, which its evolution is based on) and ''tortuga''.

'''Trubbish''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ヤブクロン''' ''Yabukuron'') is a {{type|Poison}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Garbodor}} starting at [[level]] 36.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Trubbish resemble a full, dark green garbage bag that is knotted at the top. The "tied ends" of the "knot" act like ears. Trubbish have oval-shaped eyes, large triangular teeth that resemble broken glass, and arms that look like trash spilling out of small tears in the bag with pink and blue colored objects protruding out of them. Their feet are dark green and stubby.

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

===Special abilities===
Trubbish emit noxious, burp-like gases which, when inhaled, will render the victim bedridden for a week.

===Behavior===
As evidenced in ''[[BW012|Here Comes the Trubbish Squad!]]'', Trubbish's ear-like tufts stand straight up when startled, are lifted if happy, and lowered if it is feeling down. Furthermore, in the same episode, it is also explained that once Trubbish befriends a person, it will cease expelling foul odors.

===Habitat===
This Pokémon was created when a garbage dump accidentally had a chemical change of some sort. They prefer unsanitary places, such as garbage dumps.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

==In the anime==
===Major appearances===
[[File:Daniela Trubbish.png|thumb|right|250px|Trubbish in the anime]]
Trubbish appeared in ''[[BW012|Here Comes the Trubbish Squad!]]'' where a bunch of {{tc|Preschooler|kindergartners}} befriended it. However their {{tc|Nursery Aide|kindergarten teacher}}, [[Daniela]], thought it would eat all the children's toys. In the end, Trubbish saved the kindergartners' lives, and was adopted by Daniela and the Kindergartners.

===Minor appearances===
A Trubbish appeared in ''[[BW080|Clash of the Connoisseurs!]]'' in a fantasy.

==Trivia==
* Trubbish, along with its evolution {{p|Garbodor}}, are the only pure {{type|Poison}} Pokémon introduced in [[Generation V]].
* Trubbish is one of three Pokémon that learns both {{m|Stockpile}} and {{m|Swallow}} but not {{m|Spit Up}}. The others are {{p|Munchlax}} and {{p|Garbodor}}.
** Further, it is one of four Pokémon that learns {{m|Stockpile}} but only one of either {{m|Swallow}} or {{m|Spit Up}}. The other three are {{p|Qwilfish}} and the aforementioned {{p|Munchlax}} and {{p|Garbodor}}.
* Trubbish was leaked internationally in the {{so|Black and White|opening}} for ''[[Pokémon: Black & White]]''.
* Trubbish shares similar traits to {{p|Grimer}} and {{p|Koffing}}. All three Pokémon are pure Poison-types with a single evolution, roughly the same base stat totals and evolution levels, and appear to be based of a certain pollution; Trubbish being land pollution.

===Origin===
Trubbish is based on a full garbage bag. Trubbish may also be based on the imagined fear that heavy pollution, caused by the leakage and/or improper disposal of toxic/radioactive waste, may result in the creation of new and undesirable life.

====Name origin====
Trubbish is a combination of ''trash'' and ''rubbish''.

Yabukuron may be a combination of 破く ''yabuku'' (to tear) or 破ける ''yabukeru'' (to get torn) and 袋 ''fukuro'' (bag) or ぶくぶく ''bukubuku'' (loose-fitting/baggy).

How Come In Generation IV, An "Egg" And A "Manaphy Egg" Can Learn Splash?? - Tesh
:Either someone put it in there by accident, or the data really does display this. After all, {{gp|?}} knows {{m|Tackle}}, even though it's unlisted on Tackle's page... Can anyone verify this? --'''[[User:TTEchidna|T]][[User talk:TTEchidna|T]][[wp:Echidna|Echidna]]''' 04:19, 5 July 2007 (UTC)

== OHKO? ==

I have no idea whether this is a glitch or not, but for the long time i played pokémon, splash had no effect. The other day I encountered a wild magikarp. it splashed. the message came up : it's a One Hit KO! Mewtwo fainted! I was playing Ruby. [[User:BlueGasMask|BlueGasMask]] 09:39, 18 August 2008 (UTC)
:: By the way, it was level 5.[[User:BlueGasMask|BlueGasMask]] 09:41, 18 August 2008 (UTC)

:::Either you are lying, or it is a glitch. That's humanly impossible! Maybe you should try encountering a Magikarp (or any Pokémon which knows Splash) again and see what happens. - [[User:FireHazard|Hazardous FIRE!]] 04:10, 1 September 2008 (UTC)

I actually remember playing once with a Magikarp and I did do damage with Splash to, I believe it was a Horsea in pokemon Red. I know there is no proof of this, but I'm just saying. [[User:Nevar00|Nevar00]] 00:55, 17 November 2008 (UTC)

I've heard it has a ridiculously tiny chance of an OHKO, but sadly, I've never seen it on a reputable site and I was not lucky enough to have the honor of personally confirming this. [[User:Dralcax|(O++O) Dralcax]] ([[User talk:Dralcax|talk]]) 01:22, 6 December 2012 (UTC)

== Burning?! ==

Whenever I have used Magikarp (below lvl 15) on sand or grass, it have never been burned. But I have FireRed. Is that a new effect? Can somebody see on Emerald or Ruby or Pearl or some newer game to see if it works? - [[User:FireHazard|Hazardous FIRE!]] 04:13, 1 September 2008 (UTC)
:Uh... what? '''[[User:TTEchidna|''TTE'']][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]]''' 05:01, 1 September 2008 (UTC)

==MD==

If I remember correctly, Splash DOES have an effect in Mystery Dungeon. Can anyone check to see what it is? [[User:TorchicBlaziken|TorchicBlaziken]] ([[User_talk:TorchicBlaziken|talk]]•[[Special:Contributions/TorchicBlaziken|edits]]) 22:48, 2 December 2008 (UTC)
:If I remember correctly, the user moves in a random direction to an adjacent square, and does 5 damage to any Pokémon there, and the user. and then returns to the original position.

== Reason? ==

Uh... What's the reason of this move, anyway? If it's completely useless, then why'd they put it in the game? Is this a joke or something? A move, which was originally Magicarp's signature move, so it puts emphasis on how useless a Magicrap (uh, sorry, typo) is? I am just asking. --'''HTMLCODER.exe@bulbapedia$_ [[User:HTMLCODER.exe|/usr]][[Special:Contributions/HTMLCODER.exe|/bin]][[User_talk:HTMLCODER.exe|/apache2]] -k restart''' 13:45, 5 December 2008 (UTC)
:I believe it was to capitalize on Magikarp being the weakest Pokemon, by not allowing it to be able to do anything until level 15. Makes Gyarados all the more rewarding, I'd say.

== Contradictory information ==

in the article, under ''Effect'' the text says "Splash has no effect on the user or the target."

however, the chart to the left shows that the move effects the user. is somebody going to fix this? - ''unsigned comment from {{u|Chris The Nerd}} ([[User talk:Chris The Nerd|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Chris The Nerd|contribs]]) ''

::If you try and use it in a double battle, the only Pokémon you can use the attack on is the user. That's what the chart means. — [[User talk:The dark lord trombonator|THE TROM]] — 08:09, 30 May 2009 (UTC)

== If the user is hacked ghost type ==
If Splash is hacked onto a ghost type, will it fail/miss/whatever since it targets the user? [[User:Mageslayer|Mageslayer]] 12:07, 28 April 2010 (UTC)

:it's a status move, it works. Just like you can Hypnosis a Dark-type [[User:Malake256|Malake256]] 03:09, 6 May 2010 (UTC)

::And technically, you don't have to hack anything. All you need is the right tools. {{m|Sketch}} Splash, {{m|Conversion}}, and a {{t|Ghost}}-type move onto a {{p|Smeargle}}. Conversion the Smeargle into a Ghost-type, then Splash away. --[[User:Shiningpikablu252|Shiningpikablu252]] 04:04, 6 May 2010 (UTC)

== Priority ==
I'm playing HG right now and was just up against a picknicker using a hoppip. I had my Sandshrew out and was using headbut. Her hoppip would go last if it were using splash, but otherwise (it had tail whip or something) it would go first. I don't want to jump the gun and put it in the article myself, but could another party please verify this for us? [[User:Delspencerdeltorro|^_^ Delspencerdeltorro]] 02:39, 10 October 2010 (UTC)

== The Splash Meme ==

As just about everyone reading this just might very well know, there has been a thriving meme depicting Splash as the most powerful move of them all (reversing its uselessness). As far as I've seen, it's currently more popular than the Mudkipz meme. Since ''that'' has a mention in Mudkip's trivia, is this meme worth noting?

== Trivia ==

Magnemite's backsprites show two different types of top screw nut between Gen1-3 and Gen4. In Generation 4, it changes to a Philips head screw, while all previous depictions of it is a flathead screw. Is this notable enough to be considered trivia? [[User:RWMVG1DC|RWMVG1DC]] 21:16, 29 October 2009 (UTC)

== Type effectiveness ==

Shouldn't the "type effectiveness" box of Magnemite / Magneton be redone somewhat, since many of the original alignments before the release of Gen II have been overlooked in the notes below? eg. The Dragon-type hasn't been acknowledged as previously doing 1x damage, nor has the Fire-type's or Fighting-type's 1x effectiveness due to the lack of the Steel-type in Gen I. The existing type alignment notes are also rather disordered, when they could be more efficiently grouped into 1x and 0.5x.

[[User:H4r8z0r|H4r8z0r]] 19:26, 26 September 2008 (UTC)
:I'll fix that... As for the 0.5× vs ½ thing... well, I'm absolutely certain that decimals would confuse people. I once had a guy ask me whether 0.6 or 0.5 was half. '''[[User:TTEchidna|''TTE'']][[User talk:TTEchidna|chidna]]''' 19:35, 26 September 2008 (UTC)

Right, cool. Sorry, I meant 1/2x actually, not 0.5x; I didn't mean to differentiate between the two different ways of writing "one half", only to point out that they could be grouped as "normally effective" [1x] and "not very effective..." [1/2x] to make reading easier.
But thanks!

[[User:H4r8z0r|H4r8z0r]] 20:03, 26 September 2008 (UTC)

== Shiny ==

"Magnemite's Generation II shiny sprite incorrectly shows the ends of the magnets being colored, unlike the further generation's sprites."

I'm just curious but was there a correct shiny version at the time of gen II's release or did the magnets having no color happen later? Just wondering --[[User:Riggins|Riggy (>0.0)>]] 02:35, 9 March 2009 (UTC)

== BW2 Join Avenue Trick ==

This Pokemon has recently been the subject of a trick where everyone can trade Magnemite back and forth across the GTS to build up their Join Avenue, due to its early availability and ease to catch because of its Magnet Pull, Thunder Wave and Sonicboom. Really quite an impressive feat by those playing the game. Here's the method if you need more info http://wenette.tumblr.com/post/33519081336/pokemon-b-w2-guide-to-increase-your-join-avenue. Something for the trivia section? [[User:Tadzo|Tadzo]] ([[User talk:Tadzo|talk]]) 16:02, 21 October 2012 (UTC)

It's called the Magnemite Coil, and in addition to building the Join Avenue, it's also used as a means of exchanging Pokerus and items, might want to add that too. [[User:Dralcax|Dralcax]] ([[User talk:Dralcax|talk]]) 00:05, 6 December 2012 (UTC)

'''Victini''' (Japanese: '''ビクティニ''' ''Victini'') is a main character in ''[[M14|White—Victini and Zekrom and Black—Victini and Reshiram]]''.

==In the anime==
==History==
It once lived alongside the [[King of the People of the Vale]] in the [[Kingdom of the Vale]]. When war erupted within the kingdom, Victini used its power to super-charge the {{type|Psychic}} Pokémon living in the castle so that the king could move the [[Sword of the Vale]] to a new location. After the king died, Victini remained in the surrounding area, unable to leave due to a barrier created by the Protective Pillars surrounding the castle.

[[File:Victini M14 power.png|thumb|left|220px|Victini charging up Ash's Scraggy]]
Over the course of thousands of years, a town emerged from around the castle which became known as [[Eindoak Town]]. Victini became known as the guardian of the town, however its existence soon became legend and few people believed Victini even existed. When {{Ash}}, {{an|Iris}}, and {{an|Cilan}} visit Eindoak Town, Victini transfers some of its power to Ash so he could save some {{p|Deerling}} from falling off a ledge. It later telepathically guided Ash through the tunnels beneath the castle. After Ash found his way back to his friends, Victini secretly stole some of Cilan's homemade {{wp|Macaron}}s just as Ash was about to eat them. It followed the trio during the battle tournament, and even super charged his {{AP|Tepig}} and {{AP|Scraggy}} before coming out of hiding. It later informed Ash that it wanted to escape the barrier so that it could be free to travel the world and see the ocean, and Ash promises to help Victini fulfill its wish.

Later, it is forced into helping [[Damon]] move the Sword of the Vale back to the [[Kingdom of the Vale]]. However, when he realizes this course of action has disrupted the [[Dragon Force]], Victini is freed by {{mov|Reshiram|Reshiram|14}}{{tt|*|Pokémon The Movie: White—Victini and Zekrom}}/{{mov|Zekrom|Zekrom|14}}{{tt|*|Pokémon The Movie: Black—Victini and Reshiram}}. The Sword of the Vale then absorbs the Dragon Force and is launched into the {{wp|Mesosphere}}. The Protective Barriers then completely surround Ash in a tight space on the castle. Ash cradles Victini and {{AP|Pikachu}} in his arms, as his body freezes and he slowly runs out of air. Damon then appears riding on [[Juanita|his mother's]] {{p|Golurk}} along with Reshiram and Zekrom who try to destroy the pillars, but inevitably fail. Just as Ash loses consciousness, Victini rises into the air and fires {{m|Searing Shot}} at the top of the pillars. This fails to break them, but warms up Ash enough to regain some consciousness. Victini then charges up {{m|V-create}} and attacks the pillars, ultimately destroying them, and releasing some of the Dragon Force into space.

After the Sword of the Vale is returned to the surface and placed in a new location, Victini returns despite Ash assuming it had given its life, and happily finds itself at the ocean. With the barriers destroyed, Victini is free to go wherever it wants, and it journeys with Ash, Iris, and Cilan for a while before ultimately saying goodbye.

==Personality and characteristics==
Victini has taken a liking to Ash as seen when it powered up his Tepig and Scraggy when they were at a severe disadvantage and Ash was willing to help Victini escape the barriers, holding it. Victini is also shown to be fond of [[Cilan]]'s macarons.
