'''Chloe''' (Japanese: '''コハル''' ''Koharu'') is a supporting character who appeared in ''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]''. She lives in [[Vermilion City]] with her family and attends [[Vermilion City School|a school]] there as well. Chloe is also a childhood friend of [[Goh]].

==In the anime==
===History===
====Pre-series====
[[File:Chloe young.png|thumb|left|250px|A young Chloe]]
As seen in ''[[JN001|Enter Pikachu!]]'', when she was six, Chloe invited her childhood friend [[Goh]] to attend {{an|Professor Oak}}'s Pokémon Summer Camp with her. During their visit in [[Pallet Town]], Chloe and Goh encountered the Mythical Pokémon {{p|Mew}}. The two chased after the unknown Pokémon, but it eventually got away in the aftermath of a baby {{p|Kangaskhan}} rescue. Professor Oak later told them the Pokémon they saw was most likely the Mythical Pokémon Mew.

At one point, Chloe's family received a {{TP|Chloe|Yamper}} as a gift from [[Professor Cerise]]'s friend in [[Galar]]. Yamper instantly took a liking to Chloe, but she initially hated him, eventually telling him to go away. When she overheard her parents talking about Yamper's disappearance, she became regretful of her words and sneaked out to look for him. While searching, she was scared by a group of {{p|Venonat}}, but Yamper appeared and scared the Bug Pokémon away. From this point on, Yamper grew even more attached to Chloe, accepting food or battle commands only from her, and Chloe also grew to like Yamper.

====''[[Pokémon Journeys: The Series]]''====
[[File:Chloe family.png|thumb|right|250px|Chloe and her family]]
In ''[[JN002|Legend? Go! Friends? Go!]]'', a few years later, during the opening of the [[Cerise Laboratory]], Chloe found Ash passed out after Yamper knocked him down with an {{t|Electric}} attack. However, she discreetly left him lying on the stairs. She later formally introduced herself to Ash when she handed over schoolwork to Goh.

In ''[[JN011|Best Friend...Worst Nightmare!]]'', the students in Chloe's class participated in an exercise where they discussed their dreams for the future. Chloe became frustrated when her classmates immediately assumed she wanted to be a [[Pokémon Professor]] purely because her father is one. She received encouragement from [[Talia]], who told Chloe that she was still young and had plenty of time to decide what she wanted to do with her life. Later, Chloe returned to the laboratory only to find it under attack by a {{pkmn2|wild}} {{AP|Gengar}}. By commanding Yamper to battle for the first time, Chloe successfully drove Gengar out of the building.

In ''[[JN020|Dreams Are Made of These!]]'', Chloe accompanied Goh and some children during a [[Pokémon Orienteering]] competition. During the event, Goh and Chloe talked about the former's future and his goal to capture all of the Pokémon in the world.

In ''[[JN029|There's a New Kid in Town!]]'', Chloe's family found an injured {{p|Pidove}} and let it recuperate at their house. Due to its attachment towards Chloe, Yamper became jealous of Pidove whenever Chloe gave it attention. Despite this, when Pidove was threatened by a wild {{p|Fearow}}, Yamper put his jealousy aside and teamed up with Chloe to battle and defeat the Beak Pokémon, forcing it to flee. Afterwards, Chloe and her family said farewell to Pidove after its {{pkmn|Trainer}} came to the house to retrieve it.

In ''[[JN031|The Cuteness Quotient!]]'', after receiving a call from Parker to help his friend [[Jinny]], Chloe asked Ash and Goh to find out how Jinny could explore the beauty of her {{p|Feebas}}. To improve their skills, Jinny signed up for the [[Friendship Festival]]. While Ash and Goh trained the Pokémon, Chloe helped the girl on how to swim. Later, Chloe, Parker, Ash, and Goh traveled to [[Hoenn]] to watch Jinny participate in the competition.

Chloe appeared again in [[JN038]], where she went with Ash and Goh to the [[Pewter Museum of Science]] to work on a research project for school. Despite her inital reluctance, Chloe became motivated to join the search for [[fossil]]s at the museum after a passionate lecture from the museum's [[curator]].

During the [[Pokémon Eating Contest]] in [[JN047]], Chloe is encouraged by [[Chrysa]] and her father to attend the event, initially reluctant, her perception and enthusiasm about the competition grows as the competition progresses. When Chloe watches [[Goh's Skwovet]] evolve into {{p|Greedent}}, she finally joins the crowd celebrating Goh's victory.

In [[JN049]], Chloe was attending [[Vermilion City School|school]] alongside Goh when she noticed Yamper barking outside. Chloe went out to investigate to find Yamper was helping to hide an {{p|Eevee}} from two people. Thinking they were bad people, Chloe helped protect it, only to encounter {{TRT}} who had captured the Pokémon belonging to her classmates. Chloe commanded Yamper to attack and with help from Eevee was able to defeat {{p|Pelipper}}. Later, Chloe learnt the people after Eevee were lab assistants at a Research Center regarding Eevee and its evolutions. They were taking Eevee back with them when Eevee indicated it wanted to stay with Chloe. Goh gave Chloe one of his Poké Balls which she used to catch Eevee. Later, her dad gave her a pink [[Rotom Phone]].

Chloe travels with {{Ash}} and [[Goh]] to [[Galar]] for the first time in [[JN050]], thanks to a recommendation from the [[Curator]] of the [[Pewter Museum]], the group goes to the [[Wild Area]] to research the mysterious [[Fossils]] of Galar. There, they meet [[Cara Liss]] and [[Gasattsu]], two researchers in the field who help them in their research and end up restoring a {{AP|Dracovish}} and an [[List of Goh's Pokémon|Arctozolt]], which in the end are captured by Ash and Goh, respectively. At the end of the trip, while Ash and Goh showed off their new Pokémon to the Curator, [[Professor Cerise]] asks Chloe how the trip went for her. Later, Chloe recounts the experience for a homework, happy for the day she had with her friends and Eevee.

===Character===
Chloe is overly cautious and takes a realistic approach to life. She finds [[Goh]]'s confidence and big ideas to be irritating, and often reminds her friend to mind his manners. She appears distant and indifferent to others, as seen when she tends to ignore Ash, although she would gradually open up and become more friendly towards him. Although reserved and aloof, Chloe is very protective of her friends. When two girls made fun of Jinny, she became so angry that she wanted to fight them in person.

Chloe's aloofness appears to stem from her own uncertainty of what goals she wants to pursue, and she is bothered by her classmates assuming she will follow her father's footsteps and become a Pokémon researcher, and that she must be a good battler. After a conversation with her mother and working together with {{TP|Chloe|Yamper}} to defeat an attacking {{AP|Gengar}}, Chloe appears to grow closer to her Pokémon and become more certain of herself.

As a child in ''[[JN029|There's a New Kid in Town!]]'', Chloe used to be jealous of Yamper as a new household pet due to him getting more attention from her parents than her. When she led him to run away from home, she felt guilty and went out to find him at night. Eventually, she came to like him.

As time passed, Chloe became more and more involved with the Pokémon universe, to the point that she personally asked Goh and Ash for help with the school's work on the [[Fossil]] Pokémon or being late for school while paying attention to explaining her father about the Pokémon world in [[JN046]].

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

====History====
=====[[Original series]]=====
======Kanto======
[[File:Nurse Joy.png|thumb|left|220px|Nurse Joy before the {{series|Best Wishes}}]]
Nurse Joy debuted in ''[[EP002|Pokémon Emergency]]''. With his {{AP|Pikachu}} critically injured from the [[EP001|events of the last episode]], Ash rushed the Electric Mouse Pokémon to the Pokémon Center in [[Viridian City]] with the help of the [[Officer Jenny]] of the area. After healing Pikachu, {{TRT}} overtook the Pokémon Center, forcing her to rely on her own {{p|Pikachu}} generator built inside the lab. While they hid from Team Rocket, Nurse Joy activated the computer and started to transfer the Poké Balls containing injured Pokémon to the Pokémon Center in [[Pewter City]]. The next morning, Pewter City's Nurse Joy called and told her sister that all the Pokémon had made it safely to her center, to which the Viridian Nurse Joy was grateful.

Vermilion City's Nurse Joy and Chansey were often busy thanks to [[Lt. Surge's Raichu]]. She stopped Ash and Misty from fighting, reminding them that the hospital required peace. Following Ash's Gym defeat in ''[[EP014|Electric Shock Showdown]]'', Nurse Joy offered Ash her [[Thunder Stone]] to evolve Pikachu into Raichu, but Ash accepted Pikachu's refusal to do so. Nurse Joy then advised Ash that Pikachu would require more rest to regain its stamina for its upcoming rematch.

In ''[[EP030|Sparks Fly for Magnemite]]'', Ash went to Nurse Joy to heal Pikachu after he developed a cold. This Nurse Joy was uncharacteristically ill-tempered, but nevertheless, she instructed Ash to leave Pikachu with her overnight. Meanwhile, a horde of {{p|Grimer}} stopped the local hydroelectric plant from working. The power outage cut off power to all of the Pokémon Center's machines, which threatened all of the ill and injured Pokémon. After Ash caught {{AP|Muk}}, [[Gringey City]]'s power was restored. Afterwards, Nurse Joy thanked Ash for his assistance, which helped inspire her to become a better nurse.

In ''[[EP036|The Bridge Bike Gang]]'', Nurse Joy was supposed to deliver medicine for injured Pokémon over in [[Sunnytown]], but was unable to leave the Pokémon Center because of other commitments. She gave Ash and his friends the medicine as they volunteered to deliver it to Sunnytown. After dealing with a bike gang, the group successfully arrived in Sunnytown. The Nurse Joy there fed it to a {{p|Shellder}}, and it became well.

A Nurse Joy working for the [[Pokémon Inspection Agency]] arrived in [[Dark City]] to authenticate the currently unofficial Yas and Kaz Gyms in ''[[EP042|Showdown at Dark City]]''. She ultimately determined that neither Gym was worthy of being an official Gym because they were using Pokémon as gang tools. As a result, the two rival Gyms agreed to stop their street fighting and work together to reconstruct Dark City.

In ''[[EP051|Bulbasaur's Mysterious Garden]]'', Nurse Joy ran some tests on [[Ash's Bulbasaur]] when its bulb was glowing. She revealed to Ash that Bulbasaur was about to evolve due to the planet alignment and lunar cycle, though it refused, much to the disappointment of the other now-evolved {{p|Ivysaur}} and {{p|Venusaur}}.

In ''[[EP056|The Ultimate Test]]'', a Nurse Joy with dreams of entering the [[Indigo Plateau Conference]] took the [[Pokémon League Admissions Exam]]. She explained to Ash and his friends that she opted for taking the test because her work keeps her from traveling and gathering the required [[Gym]] [[Badge]]s. She was one of the top-scoring applicants in the theoretical portions of the exam, but was later told by [[Pokémon League entrance exam instructor|one of the instructors]] that she would have to take the test again after a disturbance caused by Team Rocket.

[[Old Shore Wharf]]'s Nurse Joy was kidnapped and hypnotized by {{OBP|Mewtwo|original series}} in ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]''. Her medical expertise and Pokémon knowledge was pivotal to the success of Mewtwo's [[cloning]] operation on [[New Island]]. Nurse Joy was featured on the hologram {{pkmn|Trainer}} invitations. Throughout the movie she was dressed in a frilled long-sleeved dress with a hat, which obscured her iconic Nurse Joy appearance. She formally greeted the Trainers to New Island, and after Mewtwo released her from its possession, she was formally revealed to be the same missing Nurse Joy from Old Shore Wharf. She watched on in horror as the Pokémon and their clones fought on. After the resolution, like all other characters and their respective Pokémon, she had her memory wiped and was returned to Old Shore Wharf. Ash and his friends saw her again at her Pokémon Center at Old Shore Wharf, where she was helping other Trainers while they sought refuge from a strong storm. This Nurse Joy reappeared in ''[[M22|Mewtwo Strikes Back—Evolution]]'', a remake of ''Mewtwo Strikes Back'', where she played the same role.

Several Nurse Joys from all across [[Kanto]] were present at the [[Indigo Plateau]] to help heal all of the Pokémon League competitors' Pokémon. In ''[[EP079|Friend and Foe Alike]]'', a Nurse Joy reminded Ash that losing against a friend like [[Ritchie]] meant he could support him.

======Orange Archipelago======
[[File:Nurse Joy EP092.png|thumb|220px|Nurse Joy as seen in ''[[EP092|The Joy of Pokémon]]'']]
Ash and his friends found a Pokémon Center on [[Valencia Island]] in ''[[EP083|Poké Ball Peril]]''. There, Nurse Joy directed them to [[Professor Ivy]]'s laboratory and stated that she was the second cousin of the sister-in-law of [[Saffron City]]'s Nurse Joy.

In ''[[EP084|The Lost Lapras]]'', Ash took a sick {{AP|Lapras}} to Nurse Joy on [[Tangelo Island]]. She concluded that Lapras needed rest and had become afraid of human contact since the incident with the [[three punks]]. She filled in Ash about the [[Orange League|Orange Crew]] on the Orange Archipelago.

A Nurse Joy led an excavation crew on [[Fukuhara Island No. 4]] in ''[[EP089|Shell Shock]]''. A {{OBP|reporter|EP089}} interviewed Nurse Joy about the {{p|Kabuto}} inhabiting there. She later led them to the fossils within a cave in the island, even though [[Umberto]] warned them about not disturbing the fossils. When the island was about to get swallowed up by the tide, she boarded a raft that the crew had made and safely rafted away on it.

In ''[[EP092|The Joy of Pokémon]]'', a tan and muscular Nurse Joy Ash and his friends met on an {{OBP|unnamed island|EP092}} went from island to island to help sick and injured Pokémon. She invited them to her local clinic for lunch. The group volunteered to help out Nurse Joy on taking care of the sick Pokémon. Later, while Joy was attempting to help baby {{p|Seel}}, Team Rocket arrived and trapped the group in a net. It wasn't until a {{pkmn2|giant}} {{p|Gyarados}} removed the net that Joy got a chance to finally take care of the baby Seel.

In ''[[EP097|Tracey Gets Bugged]]'', [[Murcott Island]]'s Nurse Joy and Chansey worked on {{Tracey}}'s newly caught {{TP|Tracey|Scyther}}. Joy concluded that it had lost its swarm leadership position from battling a younger {{p|Scyther}}, thus forcing it into exile. She carefully took Scyther's bandages off before it responded to its swarm's cries from Team Rocket attempting to capture it. The battle against Team Rocket restored respect between Tracey's Scyther and the others.

On [[Butwal Island]], Nurse Joy is responsible for managing the weekly airdropped supplies from Valencia Island in addition to her duties at the local Pokémon Center, as revealed in ''[[EP107|Pokémon Food Fight]]''. She also repaired Ash's broken {{i|Poké Ball}}, allowing him to return his {{AP|Snorlax}}.

======Johto======
In ''[[EP129|Ignorance is Blissey]]'', Nurse Joy had to deal with a Blissey that was accident prone.

In ''[[EP136|Chikorita's Big Upset]]'', a Nurse Joy with the Pokémon Psychology degree had a therapy session with {{Ash}} when {{AP|Chikorita}} became jealous of his Pikachu.

A Nurse Joy who appeared in ''[[EP206|The Joy of Water Pokémon]]'' was in charge of a Pokémon Center that specialized in {{type|Water}} Pokémon, despite being afraid of them herself.

In [[EP250]], Nurse Joy ran a Pokémon Center in the [[Ice Path|Ice Cave]]. She had some {{type|Ice}} Pokémon there instead of a Chansey. The Nurse Joy from the Orange Island was seen in a photograph in that episode, and was said to be the elder sister of the nurse in charge of the Pokémon Center in the Ice Cave.

In ''[[EP273|Gotta Catch Ya Later!]]'', upon returning to [[Viridian City]], it was revealed that the local Nurse Joy had since repaired Misty's bicycle after it was [[EP001|stolen and destroyed]] by Ash. Misty was thrilled to have her bike finally returned to her, though she was also saddened because this meant she was officially splitting up with Ash and Brock because of her acquired responsibilities at the [[Cerulean Gym]].

====={{series|Advanced Generation}}=====
======Hoenn======
In ''[[AG002|A Ruin with a View]]'', {{an|May}} was introduced to [[Oldale Town]]'s Nurse Joy and learned about the Pokémon Center. Nurse Joy allowed [[Professor Alden]] to use one the Center's rooms as an office for his ongoing research. Nurse Joy, May, and Ash were later locked in a storage room by [[Team Magma]] but escaped through the vents.

Nurse Joy first appeared as one of the [[Contest Judge]]s during the [[Rustboro City]] [[Pokémon Contest]] in ''[[AG013|All Things Bright and Beautifly!]]''. The local Nurse Joy fulfill these roles across other [[Hoenn]] Contest events, as well as those in [[Kanto]] and [[Sinnoh]]. Three Nurse Joys as opposed to one joined [[Raoul Contesta]] and [[Mr. Sukizo]] to help judge the [[Hoenn Grand Festival]].

In ''[[AG034|Having a Wailord of a Time]]'', the Nurse Joy of [[Slateport City]] was in charge of handing out the Hoenn starter Pokémon to new Trainers like {{OBP|Stephanie|AG034}} and [[Stephanie's father|her father]]. She healed a wild {{p|Wailord}} while Ash and Max watched over the three starter Pokémon. Unfortunately, the {{p|Torchic}} evolved, leaving only {{p|Mudkip}} and {{p|Treecko}} for the new Trainers. As a result, Nurse Joy decided to keep the newly evolved {{p|Combusken}} to help guard the Pokémon Center.

In ''[[AG037|Jump for Joy!]]'', the Nurse Joy of [[Mauville City]] was kidnapped by a wild {{p|Shiftry}} after a {{p|Nuzleaf}} in its group fell ill. Despite Ash and his friends arriving to rescue her, she decided to adhere to her duties as a nurse and refused to leave. With Brock's help, Nurse Joy healed Nuzleaf, allowing Shiftry and the other {{type|Grass}} Pokémon to return her to her Center.

The Nurse Joy of [[Petalburg City]] was revealed to also be a pyrotechnic expert. As a result, in ''[[AG069|Love, Petalburg Style!]]'', she secretly helped [[Norman]] arrange a {{p|Beautifly}}-shaped fireworks display to celebrate his anniversary with [[Caroline]]. However, their secret meetings were discovered by Caroline and Norman's assistant {{ho|Kenny}}, and initially mistaken as signs of Norman having an affair with Nurse Joy. Eventually, the true purpose of Norman and Nurse Joy's meetings were revealed when {{TRT}} accidentally sabotaged the machine meant to fire the fireworks.

In ''[[AG087|Crazy as a Lunatone]]'', a Nurse Joy was possessed by a {{p|Lunatone}} in [[Volley Town]]. Unlike the other Nurse Joys, she didn't allow Ash and his friends to stay in a room for the night. Later, Nurse Joy went back to normal when Lunatone collapsed after using {{m|Psychic}}. Since Lunatone's condition became bad, Nurse Joy, with the help of the group, took Lunatone to [[Camerupt Point]].

In ''[[AG108|Let it Snow, Let it Snow, Let it Snorunt!]]'', a Nurse Joy ran her Pokémon Center on the snowy part of [[Izabe Island]]. A {{AP|Snorunt}} would come by that particular Pokémon Center and take things from visitors. When Ash was in a snow cave, Nurse Joy and the others came by to pick him up. However, before Ash could reunite with Nurse Joy and the others, Team Rocket interrupted them by catching Pikachu and Snorunt. Snorunt was able to escape and Nurse Joy thought of a plan to get Pikachu back which involved Ash throwing Snorunt at Team Rocket's balloon.

======Kanto Battle Frontier======
[[Potpourri Island]]'s Nurse Joy runs the Pokémon Orienteering Festival seen in ''[[AG159|Off the Unbeaten Path]]''. Ash and his friends, along with Team Rocket, all competed in a chance to win the Teamwork Medal and a supply of Potpourri Island fruit. Nurse Joy eventually declared [[James]] the winner and later alerted May to the nearby [[Wisteria Town]] Contest.

In ''[[AG186|Overjoyed!]]'', Scott introduced Ash and his friends to [[Fennel Valley]]'s Nurse Joy, who was a big fan of battles and Pokémon Contests. Nurse Joy, a former Pokémon Trainer, offered Ash a practice battle to prepare him against {{FB|Pyramid King|Brandon}}, which he accepts. Her Chansey battled {{AP|Corphish}} and won with a close-range {{m|Solar Beam}}. This Nurse Joy appeared from ''Overjoyed!'' to ''[[AG190|Pace - The Final Frontier!]]''.

====={{series|Diamond & Pearl}}=====
Two young Joys, named [[Marnie and Paige]], appeared in ''[[DP028|Drifloon on the Wind]]'', where it was revealed that Joy is the surname of the family, rather than the given name of each individual woman. Their mother, of course, was an ordinary Nurse Joy.

In ''[[DP033|All Dressed Up With Somewhere To Go!]]'', a Nurse Joy acted as one of the judges of the [[Pokémon Dress-Up Contest]], overseeing the competition along with [[Mr. Sukizo]] and [[Officer Jenny]].

While attempting to seek a Nurse Joy to investigate Brock's glowing {{pkmn|Egg}} in ''[[DP038|One BIg Happiny Family!]]'', the group found a seemingly abandoned Pokémon Center. A Chansey directed the group to a crying Nurse Joy, who revealed that the Cycling Road has stopped servicing customers. With encouragement from Brock and Chansey, she regained her composure and examined the Egg before it hatched into {{TP|Brock|Happiny}}. Following Nurse Joy's advice, Brock located a round stone for Happiny to carry in her pouch in order to keep her happy.

In ''[[DP122|Stopped in the Name of Love!]]'', [[Sandalstraw Town]]'s Nurse Joy ran some tests on [[Dawn's Piplup]] and realized it was about to evolve. However, since Piplup refused to evolve and had been using {{m|Bide}} to stop it from happening, Nurse Joy gave {{an|Dawn}} an [[Everstone]].

In ''[[DP167|Teaching the Student Teacher!]]'', the Nurse Joy who runs the [[Neighborly Town]] Pokémon Center was busy taking care of too many Pokémon. For this reason, she would not be able to attend the town's Pokémon Contest and so [[Johanna]] agreed to fill in for her.

In ''[[DP174|Last Call — First Round!]]'', three Nurse Joys judged the [[Appeal|Performance Stage]] of the [[Sinnoh Grand Festival]]: the Nurse Joy from [[Jubilife City]] judged the Red Stage along with [[Top Coordinator]] [[Fantina]], the Nurse Joy from [[Pastoria City]] judged the Green Stage along with [[Mr. Sukizo]], and the Nurse Joy from [[Lilycove City]] judged the Blue Stage along with [[Raoul Contesta]]. After the Performance Stage was over, the only Nurse Joy who judged the [[Contest Battle|Battle Stage]] was the one from Lilycove City.

[[File:Nurse Joy anime BW.png|thumb|250px|Nurse Joy in the {{series|Best Wishes}}]]
======Unova======
In ''[[BW002|Enter Iris and Axew!]]'', Nurse Joy's redesign debuted. {{TP|Nurse Joy|Audino}}, the standard partner of the Nurse Joys of [[Unova]], debuted in ''[[BW006|Dreams by the Yard Full!]]''.

======Decolore Islands======
After foiling another one of Team Rocket's plans in ''[[BW124|Danger, Sweet as Honey!]]'', Ash and his friends headed to the [[Pokémon Center]] to have their Pokémon healed. After arriving, Nurse Joy explained that the mountains have many dangerous Pokémon such as {{p|Beedrill}} and {{p|Ursaring}} and noted that it would have been safer to go through the coastline route. After which, Audino informed them that the honey and dessert were ready. Nurse Joy then invited them in and began serving them desserts.

In ''[[BW127|The Island of Illusions!]]'', a rather elderly Nurse Joy first appeared overhearing the group's conversation on the mysterious shadow they just saw. Later, she appeared protecting the group from a [[Giant Pokémon|giant]] {{p|Heatmor}} and disappeared along with the Heatmor and the {{a|Illusion|mysterious fog}}. After successfully reaching a rather desolate Pokémon Center and curing [[Iris's Axew]]'s [[Sleep (status condition)|sleep]], the group encountered her again where she revealed herself to be an older Nurse Joy tasked with the special duty of investigating established Pokémon Centers. She explained that she had been receiving reports of a Pokémon Center operating illegally on the island, which is why she was deployed to investigate. When {{p|Zoroark}} created an illusion of the past and explained the reasons behind illegally keeping the Pokémon Center open all this time, a moved Nurse Joy agreed to keep the Center running for the wild Pokémon and asks for Zoroark's assistance in doing so, to which it happily agrees. Later, she and the Illusion Fox Pokémon bid farewell to the group as they set off on their new adventure.

A Nurse Joy living on [[Torom Island]] appeared in ''[[BW128|To Catch a Rotom!]]''. She explained that the {{p|Rotom}} on the island find the local power plant's electricity delicious, so the lights were always flickering on and off. In addition, the island's {{p|Rotom}} used to play pranks on the people of the island, so the locals created a playground of electrical devices where the Rotom could play without bothering anyone. {{an|Professor Oak}} then decided to go with Ash and his friends to this electrical playground, where they hoped to see a Rotom.

In ''[[BW133|Capacia Island UFO!]]'', Nurse Joy first appeared with her Audino, greeting Ash, {{an|Iris}} and {{an|Cilan}} upon their arrival in the Pokémon Center. Next morning, as Ash looked for help after seeing Iris, Axew and Cilan's faces turned odd, she revealed her face to have turned odd as well, much to his horror. She is then seen gathering the townspeople along with Audino and [[Officer Jenny]] to listen to what {{p|Beheeyem}} has to say.

In ''[[BW138|Go, Go Gogoat!]]'', Nurse Joy participated in [[Alexa]]'s recording. She explained how the latest equipment functioned at twice the normal speed and allowed her to repair any equipment or medicine she might need for a Pokémon's treatment. She was then seen carrying Ash and {{ashfr}}' Poké Balls for a thorough inspection of their Pokémon.

====={{series|XY}}=====
[[File:Nurse Joy anime XY.png|thumb|250px|Nurse Joy in the {{series|XY}}]]
She received another redesign at the beginning of the {{series|XY}}.

In ''[[XY021|A Pokévision of Things to Come!]]'', Nurse Joy starred in a [[Pokévision]] video with her {{TP|Nurse Joy|Wigglytuff}} where they made it to the top 10.

In ''[[XY046|The Clumsy Crier Quiets the Chaos!]]'', Nurse Joy dealt with a clumsy Wigglytuff. As a result of a {{p|Salamence}} going on a rampage, she had to deal with many injured Pokémon, including a {{tc|Pokémon Breeder}}'s {{p|Teddiursa}}. Nurse Joy told a tale to the group about how Wigglytuff became her helpers in the [[Kalos]] region. Team Rocket came by and stole Pikachu and Wigglytuff. They accidentally wake up the same Salamence from before. Nurse Joy and the group came by to retrieve Pikachu and Wigglytuff. Nurse Joy attempted to calm Salamence but it attacked with {{m|Flamethrower}}. Wigglytuff {{m|protect}}ed her from Salamence's attack, retelling the tale that another Wigglytuff did with the {{p|Flygon}}. Wigglytuff was able to calm Salamence and Salamence managed to defeat Team Rocket with {{m|Hyper Beam}}.

In ''[[XY096|A Giga Battle with Mega Results!]]'', Nurse Joy searched for a Mega Stone for her Audino. While doing so, her leg became stuck in a fissure. She was unable to get out until Ash and his friends found her stuck there. Using {{an|Clemont}}'s [[Clemontic Gear|Aipom Arm]], the group was able to get Nurse Joy out of the fissure. As a reward, she took the group to the Pokémon Center she worked in. Inside, an Audino she was working with did not get along with her as she left without telling it where she was going. When a Trainer was rushing in with an injured {{p|Makuhita}}, both Nurse Joy and Audino put aside their differences and treated the Makuhita right away, only to go back to fighting again. Nurse Joy revealed that their fighting occurred ever since the [[Head Nurse]] put Audino with her. Outside, Team Rocket broke in the Pokémon Center and stole all the Poké Balls. Nurse Joy took on Team Rocket with Audino by Mega Evolving it. After using Mega Audino's {{m|Heal Pulse}}, Ash was able to defeat Team Rocket with Pikachu's {{m|Thunderbolt}}. As a result, Nurse Joy and Audino both got along with each other.

====={{series|Sun & Moon}}=====
[[File:Nurse Joy anime SM.png|thumb|250px|Nurse Joy in the {{series|Sun & Moon}}]]
Nurse Joy received another redesign for the {{series|Sun & Moon}}. In the [[Alola]] region, her assistants are {{TP|Nurse Joy|Comfey}} and {{TP|Nurse Joy|Blissey}}. Each island of Alola has its own Nurse Joy, with the four of them being sisters.

[[Melemele Island]]'s Nurse Joy, who runs the {{rt|1|Alola}} [[Pokémon Center]], debuted in ''[[SM004|First Catch in Alola, Ketchum-Style!]]'', in which she met {{Ash}} for the first time and treated his {{AP|Pikachu}}. The Nurse Joy from [[Akala Island]] first appeared in ''[[SM031|The Island Whisperer!]]'', where she was seen working in her Pokémon Center in [[Paniola Town]].

In ''[[SM068|Real Life...Inquire Within!]]'', Ash and {{ashcl}} were on work experience at the Route 1 Pokémon Center when Melemele Island's Nurse Joy became ill. Ash and his classmates volunteered to substitute for her, and the Nurse Joy from Akala Island later appeared to assist the group in the treatment of [[Zipp]]'s {{p|Garbodor}}. At the end of the episode, the Nurse Joy from Melemele Island had recovered from her cold.

Melemele Island's Nurse Joy reappeared in ''[[SM102|Alola, Alola!]]'', where she received help from {{an|Brock}} who was visiting the Alola Region. The [[SM103|next episode]] revealed that as a thank you for helping her, Nurse Joy had given Brock one of her {{TP|Brock|Comfey}}.

[[Poni Island]]'s Nurse Joy appeared from ''[[SM104|That's Some Spicy Island Research!]]'' to ''[[SM109|A Grand Debut!]]''. Ash and his classmates stayed with her at the [[Seafolk Village]] Pokémon Center while they completed their school projects.

[[Ula'ula Island]]'s Nurse Joy debuted in ''[[SM117|Drawn with the Wind!]]''.

All four Nurse Joy sisters appeared in ''[[SM129|Battle Royal 151!]]'', where they were on standby during the [[Manalo Conference]].

=====[[New series]]=====
{{incomplete|section|2=Role in SS022}}
In [[SS006]], {{Ash}} and [[Goh]] visited Nurse Joy after {{TP|Goh|Scorbunny}} was {{status|poison}}ed by a wild {{p|Venonat}}'s {{m|Poison Powder}}. She briefly took Scorbunny into her care and healed it.

In [[SS021]], the same Nurse Joy who gave Ash the Thunder Stone gave Ash an Egg that eventually hatched into a {{AP|Riolu}}.

Nurse Joy reappeared in [[SS022]].

====Character====
Nurse Joy is not a single entity. Rather, there are many Joys who work as nurses across the various regions of the [[Pokémon world]]. As a rule, Nurse Joys are kind, earnest, honest Pokémon nurses who take care of sick and injured Pokémon, but will confront a [[Pokémon Trainer]] if they are not properly caring for their Pokémon.

Nurse Joys are all extremely similar-looking relatives. They are not entirely identical, though aside from themselves, it seems that {{an|Brock}} is the only one who can tell them apart. However, each Nurse Joy will have a different color cross on her hat that indicates which location she works at. The trait of a family made up of nearly identical members is also shared by [[Officer Jenny]], [[Don George]], and [[Porter]].

[[File:Marnie and Paige.png|thumb|left|220px|Two young Joys named [[Marnie and Paige]]]]
There are several notable Nurse Joys who appear vastly different from the others. A Nurse Joy acts as the [[Pokémon Inspection Agency|Pokémon League inspector]] in ''[[EP042|Showdown at Dark City]]'', her first appearance as anything but an ordinary Nurse Joy. Another Nurse Joy living in the [[Orange Archipelago]] has made her career instead as an archaeologist, leading an expedition to [[Fukuhara Island No. 4]] in ''[[EP089|Shell Shock]]''. A muscle-bound, kayak-paddling Nurse Joy who also lives in the archipelago was featured, along with her befriended {{pkmn2|giant}} {{p|Magikarp}}, in ''[[EP092|The Joy of Pokémon]]''. Other Nurse Joys living on the islands have a noticeably darker skin tone than their mainland counterparts, likely due to living in a more tropical region. In ''[[BW127|The Island of Illusions!]]'', a Nurse Joy appears as a Pokémon Center investigator, tasked with the investigation of illegally operating Pokémon Centers. Not unlike the Pokémon League inspector Nurse Joy, her first appearance did not allude to her true identity, and she was visibly older when she finally revealed herself.

Although there are many exceptions, Nurse Joy will generally have {{TP|Nurse Joy|Chansey}} in [[Kanto]], the [[Orange Archipelago]], [[Johto]], [[Hoenn]], and [[Sinnoh]], {{TP|Nurse Joy|Audino}} in [[Unova]] and the [[Decolore Islands]], {{TP|Nurse Joy|Wigglytuff}} in [[Kalos]], and {{TP|Nurse Joy|Blissey}} and {{TP|Nurse Joy|Comfey}} in [[Alola]] to assist her.

Nurse Joys give out [[starter Pokémon]] to beginning Trainers in towns or cities without [[Pokémon Professor]]s, such as [[Slateport City]]. Adhering to their role as government workers, they may also work as inspectors for the [[Pokémon Inspection Agency]], grading Pokémon Gyms. Nurse Joys living in locations with [[Contest Hall]]s will also be a part of the [[Contest Judge|panel of judges]] for [[Pokémon Contest]]s and [[Grand Festival]] tournaments. When reviewing a Pokémon's [[Appeal|performance]] or [[Contest Battle|battle]], Nurse Joys will often comment on the Pokémon's health and sync with the {{pkmn|Coordinator}}. Unlike fellow judges [[Raoul Contesta|Mr. Contesta]] and [[Mr. Sukizo]], who only judge competitions sanctioned by the [[Pokémon Activities Committee]], Nurse Joy has been seen judging informal Pokémon Contests in ''[[AG191|Once More With Reeling!]]'' and ''[[DP022|Borrowing on Bad Faith!]]''.

[[File:Nurse Joy M20.png|thumb|250px|Nurse Joy as seen in ''[[M20|I Choose You!]]'']]
Three Nurse Joy appeared in ''[[M20|I Choose You!]]'', which is set in a different continuity from the main series.

One of them was seen operating a [[Pokémon Center]] in a forest, where she healed [[Verity]]'s Pokémon. She then warned Verity about {{TRT}}, who were wanted for stealing Pokémon. Shortly after, a Trainer came running in the Pokémon Center with his injured {{p|Vaporeon}}, who the Trainer claimed was defeated by an {{p|Entei}}. Nurse Joy proceeded to take care of Vaporeon, but was shocked when she saw all of the Trainers in the Pokémon Center leaving to chase after Entei.

Another Nurse Joy was seen operating a Pokémon Center in an unnamed town. She healed [[Ash's Charmeleon]] after it got badly injured in a battle with [[Cross]].

A third Nurse Joy operated a Pokémon Center near a lake, close to the [[Mt. Tensei|Raizen Mountains]]. She healed {{OBP|Ash's Pikachu|M20}} after he had battled with {{an|Ho-Oh}}.

A Nurse Joy appeared in ''[[M21|The Power of Us]]'', where she was seen working in the [[Pokémon Center]] of [[Fula City]].

==Trivia==
[[File:Nurse Joy photo.png|thumb|250px|A photo of the Nurse Joys from Kalos]]
* Nurse Joy, [[Officer Jenny]], and [[Don George]] all have Japanese names that begin with the kana ジ, while their English names all start with the same sound, {{wp|Voiced palato-alveolar affricate|dʒ}}. They also all happen to be part of a large, extended family.
* Every Nurse Joy in [[Kanto]], [[Johto]], [[Hoenn]], [[Sinnoh]] and [[Unova]] can be easily told apart by the color of the cross on their hat, while Nurse Joys in the [[Kalos]] region are told apart by the color of the badge on their lapel. Colors can repeat in different regions, however.

Regional form

Draph91: added an example

[[File:Normal and Alolan Vulpix anime.png|thumb|250px|Normal and Alolan {{p|Vulpix}} in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]
A '''regional variant''' (Japanese: '''リージョンフォーム''' ''Region Form'') is a [[Pokémon (species)|species]] of Pokémon found in a specific [[region]] that takes on a different form than it does in most other regions. These Pokémon have uniquely adapted to habitats that are different than those where its species naturally live in other parts of the {{pkmn|world}}. As such, many things may be different about them, from their appearance and way of living to even their [[type]], [[move]]s, {{Abilities}}, [[base stats]] and [[List of Pokémon by height|height]] and [[List of Pokémon by weight|weight]]. This is analogous to {{wp|genetic drift}} in regards to real world phenomena, where a population that is isolated from the rest of the species develop unique traits and eventually evolve into a new species.

In [[Alola]], when {{pkmn|breeding}} Pokémon whose offspring has a regional variant, the offspring's form depends on its parents. If either parent is the species' normal form and holds an {{DL|Out-of-battle effect item|Everstone}}, and if the offspring is in the same family as that parent, then the offspring will hatch as the normal form. In all other cases, the offspring will always hatch in its Alola Form.

If a Pokémon evolves from a species that does not have a regional variant to one that does, then, in [[Alola]], it will always evolve into its Alola Form and cannot evolve into its normal form. For example: Cubone doesn't have an Alolan form, but Marowak does have one. If a Cubone evolves in the Alola region, it will always evolve into Alolan Marowak and not into a regular Marowak

==Alola==
In the [[Alola]] region, a species' regional variant is referred to as its Alola Form (Japanese: '''アローラのすがた''' ''Alola form''). A Pokémon in its Alola Form is described as Alolan — for example, Exeggutor in its Alola Form is referred to as Alolan {{p|Exeggutor}}. Only Pokémon introduced in [[Generation I]] have Alola Forms.

{{main|Variant Pokémon}}
[[File:Orange Islands Butterfree.png|thumb|220px|A [[Valencia Island]] Butterfree]]
Prior to [[Generation VII]], there were already certain Pokémon that had variations depending on their native geographical area, but, unlike regional variants, these Pokémon do not appear to have adapted to {{wp|Evolutionary pressure|selective pressures}}; rather, their differences are purely aesthetic, with their [[type]], [[move]]s, {{Abilities}}, [[List of Pokémon by height|height]], and [[List of Pokémon by weight|weight]] remaining the same.
* The [[Generation I]] {{DL|Arbok (Pokémon)|Pokédex entries}} for {{p|Arbok}} state that there are six variations of its face-like hood markings that differ between areas. Eight designs are known, but only three have appeared in the [[core series]] games (with a fourth in {{ga|Pokémon Ranger}}). In [[Pokémon Adventures]], Arbok gains a special ability depending on its pattern.
* In [[Sinnoh]], {{p|Shellos}} and {{p|Gastrodon}} have [[List of Pokémon with form differences#Shellos and Gastrodon|different appearances]] on each side of [[Mt. Coronet]]. East Sea Shellos and Gastrodon only appear east of Mt. Coronet, whereas West Sea Shellos and Gastrodon only appear on the west side.
* {{p|Mantyke}}'s Pokédex entry in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s|Pokémon Pearl}} says that the pattern on its back varies from region to region. While it has the same appearance in all [[Generation IV]] games (due to using the same sprites), the "face" from [[Generation V]] onward appears wider.
* {{p|Vivillon}}, which was introduced in Generation VI, has a [[List of Pokémon with form differences#Vivillon|different appearance]] depending on the real world location the game it was created in is from.
* In the {{pkmn|anime}} episode ''[[EP083|Poké Ball Peril]]'', a number of alternately colored Pokémon were seen on [[Valencia Island]], including {{p|Butterfree}}, {{p|Raticate}}, {{p|Nidoran♂}}, {{p|Nidoran♀}}, {{p|Vileplume}}, {{p|Paras}}, and {{p|Weepinbell}}. [[Professor Ivy]], the [[Pokémon Professor]] of the [[Orange Archipelago]], studies these variations.
* The episode ''[[EP211|Fly Me to the Moon]]'' featured {{p|Pidgey}} native to [[Pudgy Pidgey Isle]] that were too heavy to fly due to an abundance of food and a lack of predators.
* In the [[Pokémon Adventures]] round ''[[PS121|Off Course with Corsola]]'', {{adv|Bill}} mentioned that [[Kanto]] and [[Johto]] share many of the same Pokémon, but their colors and patterns are different between regions.

==Trivia==
* When a Pokémon undergoes [[evolution]] into a regional variant, the background in the evolution animation is green, as opposed to the blue background for all other Pokémon. When a [[Pokémon Egg]] hatches into a regional variant, the background is blue instead of yellow. Additionally, a different arrangement of the evolution music is played in both of these situations.
* All non-Alolan Pokémon that can evolve into an Alola Form have a [[signature move]].

Draph91: /* can someone explain this bit? */

==Portuguese==
You can add "Variante regional" for Brazilian Portuguese on "In other languages" seciton. [[User:Muriloricci|Muriloricci]] ([[User talk:Muriloricci|talk]]) 16:03, 2 August 2016 (UTC)

== Is "Regional variant" an official term? ==

Is this an official term? I know Alolan Forme is, but is this as well?[[User:Trainer Yusuf|Trainer Yusuf]] ([[User talk:Trainer Yusuf|talk]]) 12:44, 9 August 2016 (UTC)
: Yes: http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon/ [[User:Glik|glik]][[User talk:Glik|glak]] 14:03, 9 August 2016 (UTC)

== Arbok ==

Shouldn't Arbok's regional forms be listed here? If I remember correctly, its pattern changes in every region in which it appears. [[User:Menace64|Menace64]] ([[User talk:Menace64|talk]]) 02:24, 10 August 2016 (UTC)
:This is a formal thing. If Arbok is not identified as a "regional variant", it's not one.
:Also, regional variants are fundamentally pretty ''significantly'' different from the rest of their species; they've ''adapted''. Differing patterns is neither significant nor a real adaptation. [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 02:29, 10 August 2016 (UTC)

== Alolan Variants Should Have Their Own Pages ==

I don't think it's fair that Alolan variant Pokemon are only side notes on their "normal variant" pages. These Alolan formes are not like Hoopa Unbound or Arial Shaymin. Those Pokemon eventually find ways of returning to their original formes. These Alolan formes are inherent to the Pokemon, they will never change into their "normal" counterpart. They will have different abilities, different move sets, different typings. I think they merit having their own pages. For example keep the regular Ninetales page, and add another one entitled Ninetales (Alola). {{unsigned|Milotic1209}}
:We literally have no information about them except for the appearances, types, and some of their abilities. We don't have enough info to have their own pages, and even if we did, it's still a Vulpix, it's still a Ninetails...they aren't brand new Pokémon altogether. --[[User:HoennMaster|Hoenn]][[User talk:HoennMaster|Master]] 06:31, 10 August 2016 (UTC)
::We have seen Alolan Ninetales use Ice Beam, at least. Sky Shaymin would make for a fair base, what with Air Slash exclusivity there. [[User:Phineas81707|Phineas81707]] ([[User talk:Phineas81707|talk]]) 02:12, 11 August 2016 (UTC)
:::But people give new Pokemon Bulbapedia entries all the time without knowing what their full set list, abilities, evolution levels, etc. are going to be. Bewear alrealdy has a page, so that argument is kind of moot. In the case of Alolan Variants, every time one has been revealed we've gotten typing and even abilities, so we definitely have enough to start building pages for them and then fill them out completely once we know all the details. And yes it is still a Vulpix and Ninetales, but with a completely different appearance, diifferent abilities, I think that if we keep adding variants to the pages of "normal" Pokemon, it's going to start looking REALLY messy. I mean what if two generations down the line there's a ground typed Ninetales, are we seriously going to have all three versions on the same page? Crowded much? {{unsigned|Milotic1209}}

:::::Fine, whatever. It seems most people are ok with everything being on one page.

:::::::I agree that having new pages for alernate formes is a bit redundant, but for pokemon like Rotom or Arceus that have a lot of different typings or others like Alolan Vulpix that have very different learnset things can get a bit confusing. Is it possible to just hide the "alternative forms" typing matchups and learnset in the same way older generation moveset are hidden (even if it technically means creating a new page, but still not a whole new page for the same Pokémon, so it could be acceptable i think?) Or with some code that just changes the section of the tab that is shown in the article by clicking on the desired choice. This could be particulary useful for things like the weakness and resistance tab of pokemon like rotom or arceus and the pokeathlon stats of Arceus, just listing examples that come to my mind.[[User:Verucieru|Verucieru]] ([[User talk:Verucieru|talk]]) 13:21, 7 December 2016 (UTC)

==Descriptions==

What I mean by descriptions is the explanation that the official website uses for how the Pokémon developed these changes. For example, Meowth was a gift to the Alolan royal line from another region, and they developed a spoiled lifestyle, and then the Alolan monarchy fell, leaving the Alolan Meowth to become feral, and then they became normal Pokémon. So, I'm asking if these should go somewhere on Bulbapedia, and if they should, then where? Here, or on the pages for the individual Pokémon? [[User:MarioMiner|MarioMiner]] ([[User talk:MarioMiner|talk]]) 21:32, 11 August 2016 (UTC)
:They're on the species pages (or will be added soonish). [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 21:41, 11 August 2016 (UTC)

== Generation I only ==

At the moment, I believe there should be something on the page stating that thus far, only Pokemon from [[Generation I]] have regional variants. [[User:Superjustinbros.|Superjustinbros.]] ([[User talk:Superjustinbros.|talk]]) 03:44, 7 September 2016 (UTC)
:No. It'll be just fine to wait for anything like that until the game is out and we know for sure. [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 12:13, 7 September 2016 (UTC)
::It was confirmed in a recent interview that all Alolan Pokemon are Generation 1 Pokemon because of the 20th Anniversary, I think it's worth noting that now. [[User:TrainerSplash|TrainerSplash]] ([[User talk:TrainerSplash|talk]])
:::Which interview was that? Could you link it here? --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 01:59, 25 October 2016 (UTC)
::::http://time.com/4536438/pokemon-sun-moon-interview/ Mostly it comes from the quote "we have in the Alola region these specific regional variances of existing Pokémon. A lot of players from the original games will see their old favorites, but with new takes." [[User:Superjustinbros.|Superjustinbros.]] ([[User talk:Superjustinbros.|talk]]) 05:40, 29 October 2016 (UTC)

== Alolan Rattata's typing origin for the trivia page ==

I'm going to post this here since no one is going to look at the Rattata discussion page

In Hawaii, the mongoose was introduced to keep the rat population under control, but the mongoose that they introduced was active during the day. The rat was nocturnal. The mongoose has actually been causing problems for the local bird populations. I first learned about it from an episode of Hawaii 5-0 (Season 4 Episode 2), but here's a little more info: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Invasive_species_in_Hawaii#Historical_examples [[User:Srushj11|Srushj11]] ([[User talk:Srushj11|talk]]) 03:34, 13 October 2016 (UTC)

== Mechanics ==

So, for certain Pokémon where only the evolved form is a regional variant (Exeggutor, Marowak, Raichu), do we know the exact mechanics of how this works? Example - would any Cubone evolve into a Marowak at night in Alola, or only a Cubone originating from the region? Further, (and I understand we won't really know this until there's external future games, but it's something to consider) would a Cubone originating from Alola evolve into a Ghost/Fire Marowak in another game? I thought these questions might be helpful in narrowing down some specifics. Mostly, I got wondering about this because I thought the branched evolutions on Cubone, Exeggcute, and Pikachu's page (and their evolution lines' pages, of course) might benefit from specifying "in Alola" or "from Alola". I understand if I'm overthinking this. [[User:Draceon|Draceon]] ([[User talk:Draceon|talk]]) 05:55, 5 December 2016 (UTC)
:From what I've heard from other folks, all such Pokémon that are native to Alola can only evolve into the Alola Form and all those that the game does not recognize as native to Alola (so either transferred from an older game, or hacked to appear transferred from an older game) can only evolve into the standard form. I'm not sure whether this is determined by the [[blue pentagon|black clover]] or some other method. And I'm just reporting secondhand, for that matter, so I can't confirm for certain. I and/or my source might well have misunderstood the mechanics. Once Pokémon Bank is updated it'll be a lot easier for folks to figure it out for sure. [[User:Pumpkinking0192|Pumpkinking0192]] ([[User talk:Pumpkinking0192|talk]]) 06:16, 5 December 2016 (UTC)

== Article naming ==

So, say if a trainer in the anime catches an alolan form of a pokemon, what would the name of the article be?
Example: Ash's Alolan Raticate, or just Ash's Raticate?-- --[[User:Handmaiden 101|Handmaiden 101]] ''([[User talk:Handmaiden 101|tAlk]])'' 08:03, 6 December 2016 (UTC)
:It would be "Ash's Diglett" etc. if Ash catches an Alolan Diglett etc. Compare [[Zoey's Gastrodon]]. (I specifically avoided "Ash's Raticate" because he already owned one, so that might be a bit tricky to deal with.) --[[User:SnorlaxMonster|'''Snorlax''']][[User talk:SnorlaxMonster|'''Monster''']] 08:38, 6 December 2016 (UTC)
::It's possible we would follow the precedent set by [[James' second Victreebel]]. [[User:Pumpkinking0192|Pumpkinking0192]] ([[User talk:Pumpkinking0192|talk]]) 17:09, 6 December 2016 (UTC)

== Trivia ==

*Geodude and its evolutionary relatives are the only three-stage evolutionary line to receive Alola forms.
Can we add this trivia? --[[User:AwesomeDJPokemon|'''AwesomeDJ''Pokémon''''']] 15:26, 7 December 2016 (UTC)
:I don't think it's notable. It's clearly evident from glancing casually at the list in the article. [[User:Pumpkinking0192|Pumpkinking0192]] ([[User talk:Pumpkinking0192|talk]]) 17:41, 7 December 2016 (UTC)

==Sinnoh==
I think Shellos and Gastrodon's variations technically count as regional variants. What do you think? {{unsigned|Pescavelho}}
:That's more of a coastal difference, since the two forms are only for which side of the region their from, being east and west.[[User:Animaltamer7|Animaltamer7]]12:35, 18 December 2016 (UTC)
::More importantly, it's not canonically identified as a regional variant. Therefore, it's not one. We can't deal in speculation and cruft. [[User:Pumpkinking0192|Pumpkinking0192]] ([[User talk:Pumpkinking0192|talk]]) 05:32, 19 December 2016 (UTC)

==Kanto==
At the end of the game, Hau mentions that the player's mom's Meowth is "Kantonian" would this be notable to put anywhere? I was thinking to include it under the Kanto page under it's own trivia section similar to how the Kalos one mentions that the adjective term for Kalos is Kalosian. But knowing how it might just refer to the type of Meowth found in Kanto would it be worth adding here instead? [[User:TrainerSplash|TrainerSplash]] ([[User talk:TrainerSplash|talk]]) 06:42, 22 December 2016 (UTC)
:Normal Meowth are definitely not only found in Kanto. And Hau could have just been playing around. Unless that specific term is used a lot more, we probably shouldn't jump on it for an "official" regional form. [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 06:55, 22 December 2016 (UTC)

== Breeding Trivia ==

Is it worth mentioning that a Pokémon that has an Alolan form can pass their Hidden Ability to their Alolan form via breeding? I just bred a Grimer with Poison Touch, and the Egg hatched into an Alolan Grimer with Power of Alchemy. --[[User:PKMNAdventurer|PKMNAdventurer]] ([[User talk:PKMNAdventurer|talk]]) 18:18, 2 April 2017 (UTC)
:Hidden Abilities (and regular Abilities, for that matter) work off "slots", so this is to be expected. I think it might be worth mentioning on the inheritance section of [[Ability]], but I'm not sure if it's worth noting here, and it certainly wouldn't be appropriate for Trivia. If it goes on this page, it should be worked into the actual main prose of the article somewhere. [[User:Pumpkinking0192|Pumpkinking0192]] ([[User talk:Pumpkinking0192|talk]]) 04:31, 3 April 2017 (UTC)

== can someone explain this bit? ==

"if a Pokémon evolves from a species that does not have a regional variant to one that does, then, in Alola, it will always evolve into its Alola Form and cannot evolve into its normal form." I don't understand it --[[User:Draph91|Draph91]] ([[User talk:Draph91|talk]]) 20:06, 24 August 2017 (UTC)
: An example: Cubone doesn't have an Alolan form, but Marowak does have one. If a Cubone evolves in the Alola region, it will always evolve into Alolan Marowak and not into a regular Marowak. [[User:Satsjoe|Satsjoe]] ([[User talk:Satsjoe|talk]]) 20:12, 24 August 2017 (UTC)

oh I understand now --[[User:Draph91|Draph91]] ([[User talk:Draph91|talk]]) 11:31, 26 August 2017 (UTC)

[[File:Pokemon-to-real-world.png|thumb|right|250px|The map of Japan showing the four main Japanese Pokémon regions.]]
The designs of seven of the major Pokémon regions—[[Kanto]], [[Johto]], [[Hoenn]], [[Sinnoh]], [[Unova]], [[Kalos]], and [[Alola]]—are strikingly similar in geography and demographics to regions in the real world, and sometimes even officially stated to be based on certain locations. The first four regions are based on smaller regions in {{wp|Japan}}, while Unova and Alola are based on parts of the {{wp|United States}} and Kalos is based on {{wp|France}}. It is stated that the inspiration for [[Orre]] is {{wp|Phoenix, Arizona}}.

==Core regions==
===Kanto===
The {{wp|Kantō region}} of Japan is not only identical in name to [[Kanto]] in the [[Pokémon world]], it is also very similar geographically; however, the western part of the game map corresponds to eastern {{wp|Chūbu region|Chūbu}}.

[[File:Sinnoh.png|thumb|right|250px|In-game map of the Sinnoh region]]
The '''Sinnoh''' region (Japanese: '''{{tt|シンオウ地方|シンオウちほう}}''' ''Shin'ō-chihō'') is a [[region]] of the [[Pokémon world]]. It is located north of [[Kanto]], [[Johto]], and [[Hoenn]]. It is the setting of {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}. It is composed of the large mainland, the north-eastern island of the [[Battle Zone]], and several {{si|Pokémon League|smaller islands}} on both sides of the [[region]].

Most of Sinnoh's routes are on land, having very few water routes, in vast contrast to [[Hoenn]]. The region is divided by [[Mt. Coronet]], roughly comparable to how the continent that [[Kanto]] and [[Johto]] make up is essentially a contiguous region.

==Etymology and design concept==
{{main|Pokémon world in relation to the real world#Sinnoh|Pokémon world in relation to the real world → Sinnoh}}
[[File:Pokemon-to-real-world.png|thumb|left|150px|The map of Japan showing the Sinnoh region as the island of {{wp|Hokkaido}}.]]
[[Junichi Masuda]] has stated that Sinnoh's name denotes "mysteries" (神奥)<ref>[http://twitter.com/#!/Junichi_Masuda/statuses/141163315660464128 Masuda's tweet](Japanese)</ref>, possibly in reference to the [[Sinnoh myths|various myths]] of the region. The geography of the Sinnoh region is [[Pokémon world in relation to the real world|based on]] the geography of the Japanese island of {{wp|Hokkaido}} and southern part of the Russian island {{wp|Sakhalin}}, as well as {{wp|Kunashir}}, which is claimed by Japan, but administered by Russia. Sinnoh has been said to be an island like Hoenn, rather than a peninsula.

Most of all cities and towns in Sinnoh are positioned in the same way as the real cities and towns of the Japan while most of its design is based on it as well. [[Jubilife City]] is Sinnoh's largest city, which is based on {{wp|Sapporo, Hokkaido|Sapporo City}}, Hokkaido's largest city, while [[Veilstone City]] is based upon {{wp|Abashiri, Hokkaido|Abashiri City}}, a major port city.

Geographical features are similar as well, with the large mountain ranges of [[Mt. Coronet]] based from the {{wp|Ezo}} mountain chain, which is made up of the {{wp|Teshio Mountains}}, the {{wp|Kitami Mountains}} , the {{wp|Ishikari Mountains}}, the {{wp|Yubari Mountains}}, and the {{wp|Hidaka Mountains}}. The three lakes of Sinnoh mimic {{wp|Lake Toya|Lake Tōya}}, {{wp|Lake Kussharo}} and Lake Kutcharo. The [[Sendoff Spring|fourth lake of Sinnoh]] is similar to {{wp|Lake Mashu|Lake Mashū}}, which is also known as a mysterious spot that has a dense layer of fog hiding the surface most of the time.

The numbering of the routes in the Pokémon world may also be a reference to Japan's own national route system, which goes from {{wp|Japan National Route 1|1}} to {{wp|Japan National Route 58|58}}, then skips directly to {{wp|Japan National Route 101|101}}, and then skips several more numbers. Routes in Sinnoh do not run concurrent to routes in Hokkaido; instead starting over after the set of routes in Hoenn.

==History==
According to several [[Sinnoh myths]], this region was the first of all the regions in the Pokémon world to have been created. In a void of nothingness, a single {{pkmn|Egg}} came into being, which then hatched into {{p|Arceus}}, the first Pokémon to be in existence. Arceus created {{p|Dialga}}, {{p|Palkia}}, and possibly {{p|Giratina}}, and Arceus then gave Dialga and Palkia the abilities to control time and space, respectively. Giratina was banished to [[Distortion World|another dimension]] for its violent behavior. Then, during the very early formation of the world, Arceus created {{p|Azelf}}, {{p|Uxie}}, and {{p|Mesprit}} to create willpower, knowledge, and emotion respectively, things that are in all modern humans and Pokémon. They dove to the bottom of present-day [[Lake Valor]], [[Lake Acuity]], and [[Lake Verity]], an act which earned them the name "the lake trio". At that point, Arceus created the Sinnoh region and [[Mt. Coronet]] divided the region into two sections. During this violent procedure, [[Stark Mountain]] was created and {{p|Heatran}} was formed in lava. Arceus finally created the Adamant, Lustrous, and Griseous Orbs before falling into a never-ending sleep at the [[Hall of Origin]].

Around this time, {{p|Mew}} was thought to have come into being by itself, containing the DNA of every Pokémon to exist and exist in the future. Human habitation of Sinnoh is estimated to have begun when Sinnoh was created, as said in [[Sinnoh myths|myth]]. It is stated that Pokémon and humans led separate lives, but always helped each other. They supplied each other with goods, and supported each other. A Pokémon proposed to the others to always be ready to help humans, and that Pokémon be ready to appear before humans always. Thus, to this day, Pokémon appear to humans if they venture into [[tall grass]].
[[File:Dialga-Palkia-Giratina.png|thumb|left|250px|Palkia, Giratina, and Dialga on the Spear Pillar.]]
Later on came the events of [[Floaroma Town]]. According to the townspeople, Floaroma Town was once a barren and desolate hill. People started planting flowers around it to cheer up the place, but nothing would grow. Then, someone expressed thanks for a blessing of nature, and the whole hill burst into bloom. It is theorized that {{p|Shaymin}} was the cause of the sudden burst of flowers, given it being the Gratitude Pokémon, and its ability to "instantly transform ruined land into a lush field of flowers," according to its [[Pokédex]] entry.

{{spoilers}}

In contemporary history, {{ga|Lucas}}/{{ga|Dawn}} and {{ga|Barry}} leave [[Twinleaf Town]] in an attempt to see a Pokémon, like the recently reported [[red Gyarados]], in the nearby [[Lake Verity]]. After receiving one of [[Professor Rowan]]'s Pokémon to call their own, their journey begins in earnest, and both Lucas/Dawn and Barry challenge the Sinnoh region's eight Gyms to gain the Badges necessary to challenge the {{si|Pokémon League}}. Along the way, however, Lucas/Dawn is brought into many conflicts with [[Team Galactic]], whose leader, [[Cyrus]], wishes to remake the entire universe in his image with the powers of the [[Legendary Pokémon]] {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Palkia}}. Defeating the team and calming {{p|Dialga}}/{{p|Palkia}} (or {{p|Giratina}} in Platinum canon), Lucas/Dawn challenges Sinnoh's Elite Four and Champion, [[Cynthia]], and becomes Champion him/herself. In {{game|Platinum}}, Cyrus accidentally opened a portal to the [[Distortion World]] above [[Mt. Coronet]] while trying to create a new world for himself. The portal atop Mt. Coronet was able to be closed, but a passageway to this strange dimension still remains on the [[Turnback Cave|depths]] of [[Sendoff Spring]].

==Cities, routes, and other locations==
[[File:Sinnoh Region.png|thumb|300px|A detailed version of the in-game map of the Sinnoh region from [[Generation IV]] games]]
Sinnoh has fourteen [[List of cities and towns|cities and towns]], as well as three "areas", and a {{si|Pokémon League}}. These sites act as settlements for people to live and work in a functioning society. The [[Fight Area]], the [[Survival Area]] and the [[Resort Area]] all act as towns, however, they appear to be more of a tourist destination and are not considered cities or towns. These three "areas" are located off Sinnoh's mainland and on the [[Battle Zone]], which is considered a sub-region of Sinnoh and is implied by some living on the island as a different region altogether, not unlike how the [[Sevii Islands]] are considered a separate region from [[Kanto]] and [[Johto]]. Thus, Sinnoh has a total of eighteen settlements all over Sinnoh.

The Sinnoh region has 30 different [[route]]s, which are passages permitting Trainers to travel from one location to the next with relative ease. Much like [[Hoenn]] before it, Sinnoh's routes are numbered so that they don't follow sequence directly from previously-known regions' routes. Routes in Sinnoh are numbered from {{rtn|201|Sinnoh}} to {{rtn|230|Sinnoh}}. Compared to previous generations, there aren't many water routes; there are many land routes and mountains. There are also several routes with differing [[weather]]. Some of Sinnoh's routes have snow covering them. Another quirk about the routes in Sinnoh is that some of them do not go directly east/west or north/south, but actually turn before reaching their destination, most notably {{rt|212|Sinnoh}} and {{rt|210|Sinnoh}}, which both have two limbs of equal length.

Although it has few [[water route]]s, Sinnoh is known to be rich in water, and has three lakes at the northernmost ([[Lake Acuity|Acuity]]), easternmost ([[Lake Valor|Valor]]), and westernmost ([[Lake Verity|Verity]]) ends of the main continent. These are home to the [[lake guardians]]. Near Lake Valor there is a hidden fourth lake, [[Sendoff Spring]], which houses [[Turnback Cave]]. Some other significant locations that Sinnoh offers include [[Mt. Coronet]], the highest mountain in the Sinnoh region and part of a long mountain range that divides the region in half; the [[Eterna Forest]], a large and mysterious forest; and the [[Great Marsh]], a popular habitat for Pokémon and a [[Safari Zone]] for many Trainers.

In the anime, the Sinnoh region is far enough away to require going from Kanto to Sinnoh by either ship (as Ash, Pikachu, and Aipom did), or by truck (as evidenced by how Brock arrived in the region).

===Demographics===
The Sinnoh region's towns, cities and other areas have a total population of 704 in {{2v2|Diamond|Pearl}} and 755 in {{game|Platinum}}.

===Landmarks===
[[File:Mt. Coronet.png|left|thumb|200px|[[Mt. Coronet|Mt. Coronet range]], which divides the region into two parts]]
Sinnoh is home to many unique landmarks and areas of interest. These come in a range of tourist attractions such as the luxurious [[Hotel Grand Lake]] and the exciting [[Pal Park]], to many natural phenomena such as the four deep, blue lakes and the vast, dense [[Eterna Forest]]. But the central landmark of the Sinnoh region is Mt. Coronet. Standing in the middle of Sinnoh and extending from the northern wilderness to the southern tip of the region, Mt. Coronet splits Sinnoh into two halves. It is best defined as a mountain range, with its highest peak shrouded in legend, perhaps being the highest mountain in the entire Pokémon world. The Spear Pillar is situated at the highest point, an ancient shrine to Pokémon which is in ruins. Several of its pillars are still standing, all pointing skyward. The legend of the [[creation trio]] is deeply connected with the mountain, as is the plot of Team Galactic. A stained glass window in the Foreign Building in Hearthome City depicts the mountain with a bright shine, representing the Spear Pillar and possibly depicting the creation of {{p|Dialga}}, {{p|Palkia}}, and {{p|Giratina}}. Its place in Sinnoh has caused variation in the species of {{p|Shellos}} and {{p|Gastrodon}}, which have different shapes and coloration depending on the side of Sinnoh they are native to.

On the north part of the region in the [[Battle Zone]], there is another mountain range, [[Stark Mountain]], which consists of an active volcano. The volcano rains ash down upon some parts of the Battle Zone. Outside the cavern is a rugged, seemingly indestructible rock mountain that is thickly blanketed by the volcanic ash it spews. Inside the mountain, fissures in spilled and hardened lava form enormous caverns. Another important landmark of Sinnoh is [[Eterna Forest]], a forest home to many Bug- and Grass-type Pokémon. The Eterna Forest has a reputation for being a mysterious place, from the abandoned [[Old Chateau]] to the strange [[Moss Rock]]. The Eterna Forest is a long and complex structure of trees that make it a natural maze, where a lot of people get lost. Eterna Forest has apparently been the location of numerous sightings of [[Team Galactic]], for many unknown reasons.

Another major landmark is the [[Great Marsh]]. The Great Marsh is a giant wetland that is subject to frequent or continuous flood. It houses many different kinds of Pokémon, some of which are unique to this environment. [[Pastoria City]] was settled to protect the area. It has grown naturally over the years and there is now a lookout that affords views of the Great Marsh. An almost sacred area is the trinity of lakes mysteriously situated throughout the region to form the corners of a triangle. [[Lake Verity]], [[Lake Valor]], and [[Lake Acuity]] are tied to the myth of the creation of the Pokémon world, specifically the creation of spirit. The lakes are said to be inhabited by the three Legendary pixies: {{p|Uxie}}, {{p|Mesprit}}, and {{p|Azelf}}. They are meant to represent knowledge, emotion, and willpower, respectively.
[[File:Sinnoh Underground Map DPPt.png|thumb|right|[[The Underground]]; a series of tunnels dug out below Sinnoh|300px]]
The [[The Underground|Underground]] is a famous attraction to the Sinnoh region, because of the fact that it is not located above the surface of the region, but below in a series of tunnels dug out by people. There are six independent sections of the labyrinth, each accessible from different places in Sinnoh. In terms of vendors and mining treasures, the areas are equivalent. One of the main attractions of the Underground is the mining game in which rare items can be found.

The Sinnoh region is the only area where an extreme natural phenomenon has occurred; the gateway to another universe has opened due to the actions of {{p|Giratina}}. At first, Giratina uses [[Turnback Cave]], a cave located in the depths of the mysterious and secret fourth lake of Sinnoh, [[Sendoff Spring]], as a portal to the [[Distortion World]]. It is said that Turnback Cave is a weak point between dimensions, and that the ability to travel across to the Distortion World would be possible. The Distortion World is a mysterious place that disobeys the normal laws of physics: time does not flow and spatial relations are irregular, allowing the player to walk and surf on walls in any direction. Trees and rocks can simply grow out of the ground, and then disappear. The only Pokémon known to inhabit the Distortion World is Giratina.

==Geography==
===Environment===
[[File:Sinnoh Anime.png|thumb|right|290px|Oblique view of the Sinnoh region from above.]]
Sinnoh features a broad range of new and classic environments for the player to explore including, for the first time in a Pokémon RPG, snowy routes. Its terrain is varied: some parts of the region are dry and mountainous; others are wet and swampy. The region is rich in water.

Due to its large size, the main region of Sinnoh can be broken into two sub-regions divided by [[Mt. Coronet]], roughly comparable to how the continent that [[Kanto]] and [[Johto]] make up is essentially a contiguous region. Due to this, {{p|Shellos}} and {{p|Gastrodon}} have developed an instance of regional {{wp|speciation}}, with members of the species found on the eastern side being blue-colored and members on the western side being pink-colored.

The western half of Sinnoh features a variety of landscapes. Its coasts are notably more rocky than the eastern half, however, the land is far more fertile, and the towns, for the most part, are rural. A windswept canyon, carved out by a river that flows from Mt. Coronet, is home to the [[Valley Windworks]], which provides clean, wind-driven electricity to the nearby towns. This is not to say, however, that there is no importance to west Sinnoh, as [[Oreburgh City]], [[Eterna City]], and [[Canalave City]] are the locations of [[Gym|Pokémon Gyms]], and [[Jubilife City]], at the heart of the area, is the most technologically advanced city in the region.

Sinnoh's eastern half is home to a vast many more things, including [[Pokémon Super Contest]]s in [[Hearthome City]], a [[Veilstone Department Store|Department Store]] in [[Veilstone City]], the [[Great Marsh]] of [[Pastoria City]], and the awe-inspiring [[Vista Lighthouse]] of [[Sunyshore City]]. In each of these cities, as well, there is a Pokémon Gym, which is very important for League-bound {{pkmn|Trainer}}s.
[[File:Torn World.png|thumb|left|250px|Mt. Coronet's peak, with the entrance to the [[Distortion World]] above it, from the northwest.]]
Unlike the halves of Sinnoh divided longitudinally by Mt. Coronet, the northern area is sparsely populated, with [[Snowpoint City]] as the only major area. This is likely due to the cold climate and snowy terrain in the area. Despite this relative isolation, however, Snowpoint has a Pokémon Gym, making it another important stop for Trainers who wish to compete in the Pokémon League.

A third sub-region is the [[Battle Zone]], which is on a large island to the northeast of the mainland. Much like how people from the [[Sevii Islands]] seem to consider their home to be a separate region from [[Kanto]] and [[Johto]], people from the Battle Zone often refer to Sinnoh as a separate region. Several islands, including [[Newmoon Island]], [[Fullmoon Island]], and [[Iron Island]], lie off the northwestern coast of Sinnoh as well, though these are far eclipsed in both size and importance by the mainland.

Separated from both the Battle Zone and the mainland of Sinnoh by several straits is the island on which the {{si|Pokémon League}} of Sinnoh is located, the only access to which is by way of {{rt|223|Sinnoh}}. It is here where Sinnoh's {{si|Victory Road}} is located, which, unlike previous incarnations has not two, but three entrances: one of these, of course, is the southern entrance that Trainers from the mainland must navigate from, a second is the one that leads to the area in which the [[Elite Four]] can be challenged, and the third leads from a {{m|Defog|foggy}} area of Victory Road to {{rt|224|Sinnoh}}, which is said to be a miniature version of Sinnoh. North from Route 224, the [[Seabreak Path]] leads to {{p|Shaymin}}'s domain, the [[Flower Paradise]].

===Climate===
The climate of Sinnoh varies widely, and most of the region is made of mountainous or hilly areas. Unlike [[Hoenn]], which is located in the south where the climate is warmer, Sinnoh is located on the northern boundaries of the world where the temperature is cooler. It is so cold in the northern part of the region that snow falls constantly. The harsh snow that blows down from the mountain's peaks not only makes the area very cold, but makes the {{rt|217|Sinnoh|routes in the area}} perilous to travel on. Cities such as [[Snowpoint City]] are completely covered in snow, and Pokémon who live nearby have had to adapt to the climate. Recently, the southern side of the region has also become cooler; climate change is taking a toll. Areas such as [[Twinleaf Town]] and {{rt|201|Sinnoh}} now have small amounts of snow on the ground.

However, not all of the northern areas of Sinnoh are covered in snow. Due to the dry environments and mountainous areas such as [[Stark Mountain]], the small island known as the [[Battle Zone]] is subject to warmer climates. A constant sandstorm rages on {{rt|228|Sinnoh}} due to the flow of wind down though the mountains. Some of the southern areas of the Battle Zone are very tropical and contain dense jungles.
[[File:Sinnoh from the sky.png|thumb|right|250px|A part of the Sinnoh region where the city meets the sea]]
The mainland features full land geography, with only five [[water route]]s. Despite this lack of water routes, in contrast to the [[Hoenn]] region, Sinnoh is known to be rich in water. Rivers that originate from the highlands and mountains in the center of the landmass runs through the region passing many cities, towns, and routes and into the ocean. There are many lakes throughout the region such as [[Lake Acuity]], [[Lake Valor]], and [[Lake Verity]]. All these factors create a tropical climate throughout the mainland. Many large cities settle on or close to the seaside; some of them have large ports.

Further inland, there are many different climates. Due to the mountain zones, different inland areas are subject to rain. This rain creates wetlands. Such areas may also be covered partially or completely by shallow pools of water. The soil in the wetland area is permanently saturated with moisture, which creates swamps, marshes, and bogs. In fact, [[Pastoria City]] was founded on marshy soils that attracted wild Pokémon. Unlike other regions, Sinnoh is sometimes troubled by fog. {{rt|210|Sinnoh}} is often covered in a thick cloud that makes obstacles and Trainers difficult to see; fortunately for travelers, {{m|Defog|this can be easily cleared}}.

===Energy sources===
The Sinnoh region is famed for its energy production and conservation via natural resources. Different areas of Sinnoh use different sources of energy for the use of power generation, heating, and transport fuels. The [[Oreburgh Mine]] is one of the main features in Oreburgh City, as well as the city's leading energy source. Its energy is exported to many parts of the region, including its neighbor, [[Jubilife City]], whose large population consumes a lot of energy. The mine is the livelihood of the town. Vents in the town allow steam to escape and fresh air to enter the mine, likely also clearing the mine of any poison gas (which is historically the bane of coal miners). The mine is operated with the utmost care to avoid causing damage to the natural habitats of wild Pokémon. The system of taking coal out of the mine is automated.

Another local energy source is the [[Valley Windworks]]. The Valley Windworks is a large wind farm situated in a windy valley close to Mt. Coronet, so as to generate as much electricity as possible. It is located just off {{rt|205|Sinnoh}}, a short walk east from Floaroma Town. In the area, there are eight tall wind turbines which generate energy that is in turn processed by the power plant in the center of the area. Many towns benefit from the natural renewable energy including [[Floaroma Town]], and [[Eterna City]].

The third and final renewable energy source Sinnoh has to offer is [[Sunyshore City]]'s solar panels, which are ingeniously designed for the use of power and transportation. Because the city is on the coast and gets hit by a lot of sunlight, the solar panels were built to collect energy for little cost, no pollution, and convenience to the city's citizens. It was also built due to the lack of space. However, there is a disadvantage: the solar panel system is often broken, and the city will experience massive blackouts at times. Citizens of and visitors to the city are able to walk around the city on top of the solar panels.

==Sinnoh League==
{{main|Sinnoh League}}
[[File:Sinnoh Elite Four.png‎|thumb|right|250px|The current members of Elite Four]]
The regional Pokémon League in the Sinnoh region is known as the Sinnoh League. The Sinnoh League is composed of eight [[Gym Leader]]s and four [[Elite Four]] members, along with the {{pkmn|Champion}}. Pokémon Trainers who earn eight [[Badge]]s by defeating the Gym Leaders of the Sinnoh League qualify to challenge the Elite Four located in the {{si|Pokémon League}} building. Gym Leaders are located in different cities and towns, each with their own specialty [[type]]. It is the Gym Leader's job to be the protector of their respective town or city, as they should be the strongest Trainer residing there. Once all Gym Leaders have been defeated, Trainers may face the Elite Four and its Champion. To defeat the Elite Four, all five Trainers must be defeated in succession.

==Trivia==
[[File:Sinnoh DP Map.jpg|thumb|right|250px|Sinnoh artwork from {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s|Diamond and Pearl}}]]
* If one were to draw lines to connect the three lakes of Sinnoh, they form a big triangle with [[Mt. Coronet]] at the center. This is the same formation that {{p|Uxie}}, {{p|Mesprit}}, and {{p|Azelf}} make on the top of the [[Spear Pillar]] with {{p|Dialga}} or {{p|Palkia}} in the middle, as well as the same formation put in areas relating to the [[Sinnoh myths]].
* Only the southern part of the now-Russian island of Sakhalin is referenced in the region. In the 1855 Treaty of Shimoda, Russia and Japan agreed to split the island, with Japan receiving the southern end. While Japan gave Russia full control of Sakhalin in 1875 in exchage for the Kuril Islands, Japan was again given the southern 2/5ths of the island after the Russo-Japanese War in 1905, and would retain control until 1945.
* Sinnoh is the only region of the core series games that has more than five letters in its English name, having six.
** In the anime, Sinnoh is also the only region in which no Gym Leader started an official battle with Ash in their debut episode.
* Sinnoh has an [[List of locations by index number (Generation IV)|index number location]] programmed into [[Generation IV]] for it, despite the fact that all Sinnoh locations are programmed into the games already. This index location is at #2006, which coincidentally, was the Japanese release of Sinnoh's first games, {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}. This does not happen for the other three regions programmed in (i.e. Kanto is 2003, not 1996, Johto is 2004, not 1999, and Hoenn is 2005, not 2002). This data is unused during normal gameplay (i.e. without hacking); Pokémon from Sinnoh traded to a game taking place in Johto display their normal "met at" area, much like Pokémon from [[Kanto]] do when traded to Emerald.
* Sinnoh has been shown to have more [[Shiny Pokémon]] inhabiting it than any other region featured in the [[List of alternately colored Pokémon in the anime#Shiny Pokémon|anime]] with a total of seven; {{p|Dustox}}, {{p|Metagross}}, {{p|Ditto}}, [[Legendary beasts (M13)|Raikou, Entei, Suicune]], and {{p|Ariados}}.
*The adjectival form of Sinnoh is "Sinnohan," as shown in the description for an assortment of [[Poffins]] being sold by [[Thrifty Megamart]] in {{g|Sun and Moon}}.

Giant Pokémon

2017-07-12T14:18:09Z

Draph91: making correction

'''Giant Pokémon''', while rarely playing a large part in terms of plot, are nonetheless a recurring theme in the [[Pokémon anime]]. There are several episodes that have a plot revolving around unusually large {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, such to the point that it seems to be a rather common mutation for Pokémon to go through. All [[Totem Pokémon]] shown in the {{pkmn|anime}} have been giant so far.

===Ancient giant Pokémon===
Several ancient giant Pokémon appeared in the ''[[EP072|The Ancient Puzzle of Pokémopolis]]''. These Pokémon were all covered in tattoo-like marks. Gengar emerged from a black vajra-like artifact, Alakazam emerged from a spoon-like artifact, and Jigglypuff emerged from an ancient bell.

==In the games==
===In the [[core series]]===
In {{2v2|Ruby|Sapphire}}, there are two men living in [[Sootopolis City]] who respectively want the player to bring them large specimens of {{p|Barboach}} and {{p|Shroomish}}. Likewise, in {{game|Emerald}}, the same two men want the player to bring them large specimens of {{p|Lotad}} and {{p|Seedot}}.

In {{pkmn|Sun and Moon}}, [[Totem Pokémon]] are a type of [[Variant Pokémon|Pokémon variant]] that appear at the end of [[Alola]]'s [[island challenge|island trials]]. Due to the influence of the energy emanated from [[Ultra Wormhole]]s, these Pokémon appear larger and weigh approximately two to four times as much as other Pokémon of the same species.

===In the [[Spin-off Pokémon games|spin-off games]]===
In [[Hey You, Pikachu!]] one of the activities involves {{p|Pikachu}} [[fishing]], and it is possible to fish Pokémon much larger than average. There is also an {{p|Oddish}} that, instead of evolving, grows larger when it is watered, until it is at least ten times Pikachu's size.

In {{g|Ranger: Guardian Signs}}, {{Ra|Hocus}} attacks the player with a giant {{p|Crobat}} when he is faced in the [[Sky Fortress]].

===In The Electric Tale of Pikachu manga===
[[File:Black Fog.png|thumb|250px|The giant Haunter Black Fog]]
In [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]], [[Sabrina]] is attacked by a giant {{p|Haunter}} called [[Black Fog]] in ''[[ET04|Haunting My Dreams]]''. Black Fog is an unusually large Haunter, that was unusual in its density and its ability to use two moves simultaneously. It {{m|Self-Destruct|destroyed itself}} rather than be captured by [[Ash Ketchum (EToP)|Ash]].

Ash caught a giant {{p|Slowpoke}} in ''[[ET19|Ash vs. Gary]]''. He later gave it to {{Gary}} in exchange for a picture of his sister, [[Daisy Oak|May Oak]].

===In the Pokémon Gold and Silver: The Golden Boys manga===
In [[Pokémon Gold & Silver: The Golden Boys]], a giant {{p|Sudowoodo}} blocks {{rt|36|Johto}}. It turns out that the Sudowoodo is giant because of dried mud covering its body.

===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
In [[Pokémon Adventures]], {{p|Dragonite}} are generally shown larger than they usually are, as with some other Pokémon.

==Trivia==
* [[Winona]] and [[Byron]] are the only [[Gym Leader]]s in the {{pkmn|anime}} that own a giant Pokémon; Byron's giant Pokémon was only a [[Fossil]], however.

'''Bug Bite''' (Japanese: '''むしくい''' ''Bug Bite'') is a damage-dealing {{type|Bug}} [[move]] introduced in [[Generation IV]].

==Effect==
Bug Bite inflicts damage. If the target is holding a [[Berry]], the user will eat the Berry and gain its effect. Bug Bite will not eat the Berry of a target that is behind a {{m|substitute}}. Bug Bite will not consume the Berry of a target that has the Ability {{a|Sticky Hold}}.

The effect of a {{b|Jaboca}} or {{b|Tanga}} Berry will activate before the Berry can be stolen. Berries like {{b|Liechi}} or {{b|Sitrus}} Berries will be eaten by the attacker, regardless of them meeting their consumption requirement upon taking damage from Bug Bite.

==Description==
{{movedesc|Bug}}
{{movedescentry|{{gameabbrev4|DPPtHGSS}}{{gameabbrevss|PBR}}|The user bites the foe. If the foe is holding a Berry, the user eats it and gains its effect.}}

'''Lycanroc''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ルガルガン''' ''Lugarugan'') is a {{type|Rock}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation VII]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Rockruff}} starting at level 25. The [[List of Pokémon with form differences#Lycanroc|form]] it takes upon evolving depends on the game it was evolved in.
* In {{pkmn|Sun and Moon|Pokémon Sun}}, Rockruff evolves into Midday Form Lycanroc when [[level]]ed up in the [[Time|day]].
* In {{pkmn|Sun and Moon|Pokémon Moon}}, Rockruff evolves into Midnight Form Lycanroc when [[level]]ed up at [[Time|night]].

==Biology==
Lycanroc is a canine Pokémon resembling a wolf. It has two possible forms: a Midday Form and a Midnight Form.

In its Midday form, Lycanroc resembles a quadruped, light brown wolf. It has a white underbelly that extends up around its muzzle and eyes in a mask-like marking. It has pointed ears with dark brown tips and pink insides, big blue eyes, and a triangular, dark brown nose. There are four sharp fangs in its mouth: two in the upper jaw and two in the lower. Large tufts of brown fur extend from the sides of its head; three tufts on each side. A bushy, white mane covers its neck. Four dark brown rocks poke out of its mane, creating a shape similar to a stylized sun. The lower portions of this form's legs are white, and each foot has three dark brown claws. It also has a long, fluffy white tail.

In its Midnight Form, Lycanroc instead resembles a slouched, bipedal wolf or werewolf. It has short red fur with white on its lower legs, and a white streak that covers its face, underbelly, and tail. It has pointed, {{wp|Canine_terminology#Ears|button ears}} with black tips, three large tufts of fur on each side of its face, a triangular black nose, and a mouth full of sharp teeth. While the sclerae, irises, and pupils of its eye are visible, they all glow a pinkish red and no distinctive colors are visible. A mane of fur covers its back and shoulders, sweeping forward over its head to form a crescent moon shape. On either side of its body, just below the shoulders, two small rocks resembling claws poke out of the mane. A single, bigger stone projects out of the front of the mane over its head. Each of this form's paws has three black claws, and it has a stubby tail covered in long fur.

In order to avoid needless fighting, the Midday Form prefers to live alone and does not form a pack with others of its kind. However, it is a fiercely loyal partner to Trainers that accept it during its unruly stage. In battle, it darts past opponents while attacking them with the rocks in its mane. These swift movements leave many foes bewildered.<ref>http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon/lycanroc-midday-form/</ref>

In contrast, Lycanroc's Midnight Form is thrilled by battling, and becomes more excited the stronger its opponent. This excitement is what causes its eyes to glow. Its strategy consists of closing in on its opponent and encouraging attack, then countering with a powerful blow that knocks out its opponent. Trainers that can draw out its power earn its trust, but it despises those that it disagrees with or who try to force it to fight.<ref>http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon/lycanroc-midnight-form/</ref>

{{m|Accelerock}} is the signature move of Lycanroc's Midday form.

==Trivia==
* Both forms of Lycanroc and its {{p|Rockruff|pre-evolution}} are the only {{type|Rock}} that cannot learn {{m|Sandstorm}}.

===Origin===
Lycanroc may be based on the {{wp|Japanese wolf}} or the {{wp|Hokkaido wolf}}. In Japanese folklore the wolf is often associated with mountains, and was thought of as both benevolent and malevolent.{{fact}}

Lycanroc's Midday Form appears to be based on a {{wp|wolf}}, while its Midnight Form appears to be based on a {{wp|werewolf}}.

====Name origin====
Lycanroc may be a combination of ''{{wp|werewolf|lycanthrope}}'' and ''rock''.

Lugarugan may be a combination of ''{{wp|rougarou}}'', ''loup-garou'' (French for ''werewolf''), ガルル ''garuru'' (a dog's growling), and 岩 ''gan'' (rock).

'''Lycanroc''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ルガルガン''' ''Lugarugan'') is a {{type|Rock}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation VII]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Rockruff}} starting at level 25. The [[List of Pokémon with form differences#Lycanroc|form]] it takes upon evolving depends on the game it was evolved in.
* In {{pkmn|Sun and Moon|Pokémon Sun}}, Rockruff evolves into Midday Form Lycanroc
* In {{pkmn|Sun and Moon|Pokémon Moon}}, Rockruff evolves into Midnight Form Lycanroc

==Biology==
Lycanroc is a canine Pokémon resembling a wolf. It has two possible forms: a Midday Form and a Midnight Form.

In its Midday form, Lycanroc resembles a quadruped, light brown wolf. It has a white underbelly that extends up around its muzzle and eyes in a mask-like marking. It has pointed ears with dark brown tips and pink insides, big blue eyes, and a triangular, dark brown nose. There are four sharp fangs in its mouth: two in the upper jaw and two in the lower. Large tufts of brown fur extend from the sides of its head; three tufts on each side. A bushy, white mane covers its neck. Four dark brown rocks poke out of its mane, creating a shape similar to a stylized sun. The lower portions of this form's legs are white, and each foot has three dark brown claws. It also has a long, fluffy white tail.

In its Midnight Form, Lycanroc instead resembles a slouched, bipedal wolf or werewolf. It has short red fur with white on its lower legs, and a white streak that covers its face, underbelly, and tail. It has pointed, {{wp|Canine_terminology#Ears|button ears}} with black tips, three large tufts of fur on each side of its face, a triangular black nose, and a mouth full of sharp teeth. While the sclerae, irises, and pupils of its eye are visible, they all glow a pinkish red and no distinctive colors are visible. A mane of fur covers its back and shoulders, sweeping forward over its head to form a crescent moon shape. On either side of its body, just below the shoulders, two small rocks resembling claws poke out of the mane. A single, bigger stone projects out of the front of the mane over its head. Each of this form's paws has three black claws, and it has a stubby tail covered in long fur.

In order to avoid needless fighting, the Midday Form prefers to live alone and does not form a pack with others of its kind. However, it is a fiercely loyal partner to Trainers that accept it during its unruly stage. In battle, it darts past opponents while attacking them with the rocks in its mane. These swift movements leave many foes bewildered.<ref>http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon/lycanroc-midday-form/</ref>

In contrast, Lycanroc's Midnight Form is thrilled by battling, and becomes more excited the stronger its opponent. This excitement is what causes its eyes to glow. Its strategy consists of closing in on its opponent and encouraging attack, then countering with a powerful blow that knocks out its opponent. Trainers that can draw out its power earn its trust, but it despises those that it disagrees with or who try to force it to fight.<ref>http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon/lycanroc-midnight-form/</ref>

{{m|Accelerock}} is the signature move of Lycanroc's Midday form.

==Trivia==
* Both forms of Lycanroc and its {{p|Rockruff|pre-evolution}} are the only {{type|Rock}} that cannot learn {{m|Sandstorm}}.

===Origin===
Lycanroc may be based on the {{wp|Japanese wolf}} or the {{wp|Hokkaido wolf}}. In Japanese folklore the wolf is often associated with mountains, and was thought of as both benevolent and malevolent.{{fact}}

Lycanroc's Midday Form appears to be based on a {{wp|wolf}}, while its Midnight Form appears to be based on a {{wp|werewolf}}.

====Name origin====
Lycanroc may be a combination of ''{{wp|werewolf|lycanthrope}}'' and ''rock''.

Lugarugan may be a combination of ''{{wp|rougarou}}'', ''loup-garou'' (French for ''werewolf''), ガルル ''garuru'' (a dog's growling), and 岩 ''gan'' (rock).

== Source on evolution method? ==
Last time I checked, corocoro was vague about this hounds evolution. One page stated that it was time-based, the other suggested (and ''only'' suggested) that it was game based. However, I can not read Japanese, but I never saw any translated clarification on this. If you can verify it was not directly stated, please add a note that the method in unconfirmed if it was not directly stated that the forms are game-exclusive. I would imagine it is possible they show midday in Sun, and midnight in Moon just because it is a childrens game and most users will be playing mostly during the day. It does not seem confirmed, only vaguely implied. [[User:Puerluna|Puerluna]] ([[User talk:Puerluna|talk]]) 07:21, 15 September 2016 (UTC)

== Some Wrong Things On the Biology Section... ==

There are some wrong descriptions in the biology section. I can't edit the page now, so I'd better list them here.
1. In the Rugarugan (Midday)'s section, the page says that the four rocks in its fur, and the nose are black, which is wrong. It's a dark shade of brown. (I checked that while sketching Rugarugan with the colour picker on my iPad, and that's definitely not Black)

2. From the Rugarugan Midnight's Section:
"..and a strip of red fur runs between its eyes, which glow red..."
I'm SURE that isn't fur. It can be just eyes glowing. But definitely not fur. [[User:PkmnTrainerV|The legendary PkmnTrainerV is Here!]] ([[User talk:PkmnTrainerV|talk]]) 10:18, 18 September 2016 (UTC)
:I agree, the nose on Midday form is the same shade of brown as the claws and rocks, while the eyes are actually glowing in the Midnight form.[[User:Animaltamer7|Animaltamer7]]12:01, 18 September 2016 (UTC)
::The Official Pokemon Sun and Moon site just said that the eyes glow due to the battle thrill, so, the page should be corrected with both the changes. [[User:PkmnTrainerV|The legendary PkmnTrainerV is Here!]] ([[User talk:PkmnTrainerV|talk]]) 08:45, 21 September 2016 (UTC)
Bump Post. [[User:PkmnTrainerV|The legendary PkmnTrainerV is Here!]] ([[User talk:PkmnTrainerV|talk]]) 09:54, 26 September 2016 (UTC)

I'd like to add that the mane design for Midday Lycanroc resembles a sun (the tufts and collar spikes spread out like rays) while Midnight's resembles a crescent moon (the mohawk bit arches over in that shape). The furry bit with the rib-spikes might be shaped like that too. It's not really a mistake, but it could help with minimising the text a little? Idk

[[User:DecafSnorlax|DecafSnorlax]] ([[User talk:DecafSnorlax|talk]]) 12:34, 1 October 2016 (UTC)
:I would like to take a moment to point out that the text does refer to glowing eyes. It's not the very best wording, but the sentence is referring to the eyes glowing, not the fur. [[User:Crystal Talian|Crystal]] [[User talk:Crystal Talian|Talian]] 14:31, 1 October 2016 (UTC)
::On that fur part... I just noticed it. Sorry, the wording made me believe that it is the fur that glows red.

But, the Black rock part still holds. [[User:PkmnTrainerV|The legendary PkmnTrainerV is Here!]] ([[User talk:PkmnTrainerV|talk]]) 06:08, 2 October 2016 (UTC)

== Name derivation ==

The word Lycan, while referring to Lycanthropes (werewolves), is a word unto itself. Lycan is another word for 'wolf'.
[[User:Srushj11|Srushj11]] ([[User talk:Srushj11|talk]]) 05:35, 21 September 2016 (UTC)
:Lycan may have a distinct meaning, but it's not really a "word" (except insofar as fantasy settings may have established it as a "unique" name for werewolves—which still derives ''directly'' from "lycanthrope"). That'd be like saying "pre" is a word, or "geo" (as in geology or geography). It isn't. But in any case, for Lycanroc's name, it very plainly isn't just about wolves; it's about werewolves, lycanthrope in whole, which already very explicitly and recognizably involves wolves. We don't need to try to wedge in "lycan" all by itself. [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 06:49, 21 September 2016 (UTC)

== Hungarian name and name origin ==

Midday form is called Déli Forma and Midnight form is called Éjféli Forma in Hungarian could someone in the staff please add this?

Also might Lycanroc come from the frase "Like a rock" but with an n in there so it would be "Like an rock", I know that it's faulty grammar but still is it plausible or is it too Farfetch'd? --[[User:Raltseye|Raltseye]] [[User talk:Raltseye|prata med mej]] 12:28, 22 September 2016 (UTC)
:The French and German names also have the (word for werewolf) + roc formatting, so I think it's just a coincidence. They could have dropped the n and still have the lycanthrope origin be obvious. [[User:Glik|glik]][[User talk:Glik|glak]] 13:24, 22 September 2016 (UTC)

== Polish form names ==

The Midday Form is Forma Południowa and the Midnight Form is Forma Północna as seen [http://www.nintendo.pl/news/ogloszono-nowe-szczegoly-i-kolejne-roznice-miedzy-wersjami-w-pokemon-sun-i-pokemon-moon/ here]. [[User:Eridanus|Eridanus]] ([[User talk:Eridanus|talk]]) 20:32, 25 September 2016 (UTC)

== Image ==

I think somebody should make a combined image of both forms in 'Lycanroc.png' like in Gastrodon.--[[User:Dominikololo|Dominikololo]] ([[User talk:Dominikololo|talk]]) 17:02, 5 October 2016 (UTC)
:No, it has different forms. [[User:Tiddlywinks|Tiddlywinks]] ([[User talk:Tiddlywinks|talk]]) 17:04, 5 October 2016 (UTC)
::Shouldn't we then split up Gastrodon's art into two images? It has different forms as well, West Sea and East Sea. In fact, the file history for Gastrodon's art shows old revisions with the two forms in different positions relative to each other — i.e., it seems to be the case that these are two separate pieces of art that someone put together in one image, then someone else put together again in a slightly repositioned image. I think we should be using the art separately for Gastrodon, if that's the case. [[User:Pumpkinking0192|Pumpkinking0192]] ([[User talk:Pumpkinking0192|talk]]) 19:05, 5 October 2016 (UTC)

==Trivia - Origin==
Midday Lycanroc's design seems to incorporate a ''roccale'' or "wolf collar" - a collar with spikes in it, designed to protect herding dogs from predatory bites to the neck. It's probably a stretch to suggest that the "roc" in its name could also refer to a ''roccale,'' but the design is probably worth noting.
... come to think on it, this might also apply to Rockruff as well. [[User:Luprand|Luprand]] ([[User talk:Luprand|talk]]) 23:53, 4 December 2016 (UTC)
:Minus the fluffy part of their collar, they do look like the roccale collars.[[User:Animaltamer7|Animaltamer7]]08:38, 5 December 2016 (UTC)
:I second that. I think it's Origin-worthy. --—[[User:IWannaBeTheVeryBest|The]]Very[[User talk:IWannaBeTheVeryBest|Best]] 20:48, 7 December 2016 (UTC)

==Breed Origin==
Since Rockruff is based on a {{wp|spitz}}, I believe Lycanroc's forms resemble the {{wp|Shikoku (dog)|Shikoku}} breed most. In particular, Midday matches the Hongawa line and Midnight fits the Hata as described in [http://shikokuclub.org/shikokuken_history.php this article's fifth paragraph]. Just like Lycanroc is based on werewolves, Shikoku are called Japanese Wolfdogs. Look up photos and see how the dark and light varieties of Shikoku coats match each Lycanroc form. Shall I add this origin? --—[[User:IWannaBeTheVeryBest|The]]Very[[User talk:IWannaBeTheVeryBest|Best]] 20:48, 7 December 2016 (UTC)

== regarding this part of the article ==

'''In Pokémon Sun, Rockruff evolves into Midday Form Lycanroc when leveled up in the day.'''

'''In Pokémon Moon, Rockruff evolves into Midnight Form Lycanroc when leveled up at night.'''

is this legit?, if so what happens when Rockruff levels up in the day in Moon and vice-versa --[[User:Draph91|Draph91]] ([[User talk:Draph91|talk]]) 08:32, 2 May 2017 (UTC)

==Breed Origin==
Since Rockruff is based on a {{wp|spitz}}, I believe Lycanroc's forms resemble the {{wp|Shikoku (dog)|Shikoku}} breed most. In particular, Midday matches the Hongawa line and Midnight fits the Hata as described in [http://shikokuclub.org/shikokuken_history.php this article's fifth paragraph]. Just like Lycanroc is based on werewolves, Shikoku are called Japanese Wolfdogs. Look up photos and see how the dark and light varieties of Shikoku coats match each Lycanroc form. Shall I add this origin? --—[[User:IWannaBeTheVeryBest|The]]Very[[User talk:IWannaBeTheVeryBest|Best]] 20:48, 7 December 2016 (UTC)

== regarding this part of the article ==

'''In Pokémon Sun, Rockruff evolves into Midday Form Lycanroc when leveled up in the day.
In Pokémon Moon, Rockruff evolves into Midnight Form Lycanroc when leveled up at night.'''

is this legit?, if so what happens when Rockruff levels up in the day in Moon and vice-versa --[[User:Draph91|Draph91]] ([[User talk:Draph91|talk]]) 08:32, 2 May 2017 (UTC)

History of Poké Balls

2016-06-15T12:06:23Z

Draph91: /* Pokémopolis */

The development of [[Poké Ball]]s has gone through a number of stages, as evidenced by the ancient and historical variants of the modern Poké Ball that have been seen in the anime.

==Ancient history==
===Pokémopolis===
[[File:Pokémopolis Paintbrush uncovered.png|thumb|The giant paintbrush unsheathed]]
When Dr. [[Eve]] was exploring the ruins of [[Pokémopolis]] during ''[[EP072|The Ancient Puzzle of Pokémopolis]]'', she discovered a number of old artifacts. A handful of these relics contained ancient, [[giant Pokémon]], and so can be seen as forerunners to the contemporary Poké Ball. These objects were named by a stone tablet that had inscribed on it the legend of [[Pokémopolis]]. The "Unearthly Urn" and accompanying spoon contained a giant {{p|Alakazam}}, which, to activate, one had to insert the spoon into the Urn. It appeared that the Alakazam could do this autonomously from within the Urn using its psychic powers. The "Dark Device" contained a giant {{p|Gengar}}. It is unknown what initiated its release. Finally, the giant paintbrush/bell that was discovered contained a giant {{p|Jigglypuff}}, and was activated by the {{m|Sing|song}} of a regular sized {{an|Jigglypuff}}.

</gallery>

===Pokélantis===
[[File:Pokélantis myth.png|thumb|300px|[[Pyramid King Brandon]] telling the erroneous myth that the King trapped {{p|Ho-Oh}} in the orb]]
A relic that looks very similar to a contemporary Poké Ball was discovered in the [[Pokélantis|tomb]] of the [[King of Pokélantis]]. It was revealed during the course of ''[[AG178|Battling the Enemy Within!]]'' that it contained the spirit of the King, possibly indicating an alternate use for Poké Balls in ancient times. It was erroneously rumored that the orb contained a {{p|Ho-Oh}}, which would have made it much more similar to a modern Poké Ball.

</gallery>

==Recent history==
===Sir Aaron's staff===
Featured in ''[[M08|Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]'', the crystal in [[Sir Aaron]]'s staff was used "hundreds of years ago" to contain his apprentice {{mov|Lucario|Lucario|8}}. This can be seen as a forerunner to the contemporary Poké Ball. The ubiquitous Poké Ball design can be seen in other places in the beginning of the movie, but it is unknown what they relate to.

===Giant stone Poké Ball===
[[File:Ancient Claydol text.png|thumb|300px|The ancient text chronicling the {{tc|Sage|White Sage}}'s encounter with the giant {{p|Claydol}}]]
A giant stone Poké Ball was said in ''[[AG104|Claydol Big and Tall]]'' to have been created "in olden times" by the {{tc|Sage|White Sage}} to contain a rampaging giant {{p|Claydol}} which had escaped from an identical stone Poké Ball. It was also said in this episode that this event was contemporaneous with the first creation of Claydol, which is cited as taking place around 20,000 years ago. However this was read by [[Sigourney]] from an "ancient text" that he had a lot of trouble translating earlier in the episode.

===The Odd Keystone===
The [[Odd Keystone]] can be seen as a Poké Ball forerunner, in that it was used to capture {{p|Spiritomb|a Pokémon}} 500 years ago. In ''[[DP056|The Keystone Pops!]]'' an {{OBP|old woman|DP056}} reveals that Spiritomb was defeated and imprisoned by an [[Aura|Aura Guardian]]. The method and reason for the confinement are currently unknown.

===The Captain's Poké Balls===
In ''[[EP095|A Shipful of Shivers]]'' it was revealed that the {{OBP|Captain|EP095}} kept his {{p|Haunter}} and {{p|Gastly}} inside contemporary looking Poké Balls, approximately 300 years before the present. The old [[Orange League]] [[Winner's Trophy]], which is also more than 300 years old, is featured in this episode as well, and appears to be based on a contemporary Poké Ball design.

Chronologically, these are the first Poké Balls that offer capture and control to the Trainer.

===Lokoko's Poké Ball===
[[File:Composite Lokoko Ball.png|thumb|300px|Aspects of Lokoko's Poké Ball]]
In ''[[EP232|Just Waiting On a Friend]]'', [[Lokoko]] was the alter-ego of an elderly {{p|Ninetales}} whose Poké Ball was contemporaneous with a diary that was at least 200 years old. While the style of this ball is quite different from the modern Poké Ball, there is a statue in the same 200+ year old mansion which depicts a modern looking Poké Ball.

This Poké Ball differs from its modern descendant in other ways as well. The button is on the top of the ball rather than on the side, as can be seen top left in the picture opposite. It also lacks the internal mirrors that modern Poké Balls have, as can be seen top right opposite. It is also extremely fragile, as can be seen bottom opposite, as it shattered after simply being dropped, which is an everyday occurrence for a modern Poké Ball.

<gallery>

===Sam's Poké Ball===
A Poké Ball with a simple capture mechanism can be seen in [[Sam]]'s possession in ''[[M04|Celebi: Voice of the Forest]]'', 40 years before the present day. It had a red twist top that needed to be turned to release the Pokémon inside. This Poké Ball fits the description provided by [[Kurt]] of the basic method of turning [[Apricorn]]s into Poké Balls by simply hollowing them out and adding a capture mechanism. Judging by the other older Poké Balls seen in the anime, it is unlikely that this Ball is indicative of all Poké Balls 40 years ago. Therefore this Poké Ball may have been homemade, cheaply made, hurriedly made, or come from some other source.

==Controlling items==
There are generally two aspects to a typical modern Poké Ball, capture and control. The majority of the historical devices above capture the Pokémon in question, but generally offer no control over it once it has been released again. The following historical items offer the opposite of this, granting control but not ownership to the holder.

===The Queen's mask and staff===
[[File:Tierra tablet.png|thumb|[[Tierra]]'s tablet that tells the history of the Queen]]
In ''[[EP196|Control Freak!]]'' an ancient tablet discovered by [[Tierra]] revealed that thousands of years ago a Queen could control Pokémon within the boundaries of her own village using high frequency waves. As soon as the Pokémon went outside her village boundaries, the waves were disrupted or she lost possession of the staff and the controlled Pokémon would turn against her again.

</gallery>

===Marcus's armor===

In ''[[M12|Arceus and the Jewel of Life]]'' the antagonist [[Marcus]] controlled a {{p|Bronzong}} and a {{p|Heatran}} with special sets of armor. Much like the Queen's mask and staff, the controlled Pokémon would turn against the controller as soon as the effects were no longer being felt and the Pokémon were outside of their control.

<gallery>
File:Marcus Bronzong.png|{{p|Bronzong}} being controlled.
File:Marcus Heatran Armor.png|{{p|Heatran}} being controlled.
</gallery>

===Blue, Red, and Jade Orbs===
{{main|Colored orbs}}
In ''[[AG097|Gaining Groudon]]'' and ''[[AG098|The Scuffle of Legends]]'', the Red Orb controls {{p|Kyogre}} and the Blue Orb controls {{p|Groudon}}. According to [[Lance]], ''"The Red Orb was created long ago by evil people to control ancient Pokémon and use them as weapons..."''

The Jade Orb does not make an appearance in the anime, but presumably would have some effect on {{p|Rayquaza}}. The Generation III Bag descriptions of these items state that they "contain an incredible power from ancient times". Whether or not this means these Orbs have been around since ancient times is unknown.

[[Archie]] invokes the Red Orb with the words "Convey our will to Kyogre great Red Orb, and allow this great power to be released now".

A side effect of the use of the Orbs is possession. During these episodes {{AP|Pikachu}} and [[Archie]] become possessed by the energy inside the orbs.

===Red Chain===

The Red Chain is used by [[Cyrus]] to take control over the legendary Pokémon {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Palkia}} so as not to reduce their power by capturing them in a Poké Ball.

'''Giant Pokémon''', while rarely playing a large part in terms of plot, are nonetheless a recurring theme in the [[Pokémon anime]]. There are several episodes that have a plot revolving around unusually large {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, such to the point that it seems to be a rather common mutation for Pokémon to go through.

==In the games==
In [[Hey You, Pikachu!]] one of the activities involves {{p|Pikachu}} [[fishing]], and it is possible to fish Pokémon much larger than average. There is also an {{p|Oddish}} that, instead of evolving, grows larger when it is watered, until it is at least ten times Pikachu's size.

In {{g|Ranger: Guardian Signs}}, {{Ra|Hocus}} attacks the player with a giant {{p|Crobat}} when he is faced in the [[Sky Fortress]].

In {{2v2|Ruby|Sapphire}}, there are two men living in [[Sootopolis City]] who respectively want the player to bring them large specimens of {{p|Barboach}} and {{p|Shroomish}}. Likewise, in {{game|Emerald}}, the same two men want the player to bring them large specimens of {{p|Lotad}} and {{p|Seedot}}.

In the [[Super Smash Bros.]] series, the player can be temporarily large by eating the Super Mushroom. {{SSB|Jigglypuff}}'s Final Smash, Puff Up can make Jigglypuff gigantic temporarily, plus knocking out any opponent near it.

==In the manga==
===In The Electric Tale of Pikachu manga===
[[File:Black Fog.png|thumb|250px|The giant Haunter Black Fog]]
In [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]], [[Sabrina]] is attacked by a giant {{p|Haunter}} called [[Black Fog]] in ''[[ET04|Haunting My Dreams]]''. Black Fog is an unusually large Haunter, that was unusual in its density and its ability to use two moves simultaneously. It {{m|Self-Destruct|destroyed itself}} rather than be captured by [[Ash Ketchum (EToP)|Ash]].

Ash caught a giant {{p|Slowpoke}} in ''[[ET19|Ash vs. Gary]]''. He later gave it to {{Gary}} in exchange for a picture of his sister, [[Daisy Oak|May Oak]].

===In the Pokémon Gold and Silver: The Golden Boys manga===
In [[Pokémon Gold & Silver: The Golden Boys]], a giant {{p|Sudowoodo}} blocks {{rt|36|Johto}}. It turns out that the Sudowoodo is giant because of dried mud covering its body.

===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
In [[Pokémon Adventures]], {{p|Dragonite}} are generally shown larger than they usually are, as with some other Pokémon.

==Trivia==
* [[Winona]] and [[Byron]] are the only [[Gym Leader]]s in the {{pkmn|anime}} that own a giant Pokémon; Byron's giant Pokémon was only a [[Fossil]], however.

==In the games==
In [[Hey You, Pikachu!]] one of the activities involves {{p|Pikachu}} [[fishing]], and it is possible to fish Pokémon much larger than average. There is also an {{p|Oddish}} that, instead of evolving, grows larger when it is watered, until it is at least ten times Pikachu's size.

In {{g|Ranger: Guardian Signs}}, {{Ra|Hocus}} attacks the player with a giant {{p|Crobat}} when he is faced in the [[Sky Fortress]].

In {{2v2|Ruby|Sapphire}}, there are two men living in [[Sootopolis City]] who respectively want the player to bring them large specimens of {{p|Barboach}} and {{p|Shroomish}}. Likewise, in {{game|Emerald}}, the same two men want the player to bring them large specimens of {{p|Lotad}} and {{p|Seedot}}.

In the [[Super Smash Bros.]] series, the player can be temporarily large by eating the Super Mushroom. {{SSB|Jigglypuff}}'s Final Smash, Puff Up can make Jigglypuff gigantic temporarily, plus knocking out any opponent near it.

==In the manga==

In [[The Electric Tale of Pikachu]], [[Sabrina]] is attacked by a giant {{p|Haunter}} called [[Black Fog]] in ''[[ET04|Haunting My Dreams]]''. Black Fog is an unusually large Haunter, that was unusual in its density and its ability to use two moves simultaneously. It {{m|Self-Destruct|destroyed itself}} rather than be captured by [[Ash Ketchum (EToP)|Ash]].

Ash caught a giant {{p|Slowpoke}} in ''[[ET19|Ash vs. Gary]]''. He later gave it to {{Gary}} in exchange for a picture of his sister, [[Daisy Oak|May Oak]].

===In the Pokémon Gold and Silver: The Golden Boys manga===

==Trivia==
* [[Winona]] and [[Byron]] are the only [[Gym Leader]]s in the {{pkmn|anime}} that own a giant Pokémon; Byron's giant Pokémon was only a [[Fossil]], however.

Giant Pokémon

Draph91: /* Ancient giant Pokémon */ it doubles as a paintbrush

'''Giant Pokémon''', while rarely playing a large part in terms of plot, are nonetheless a recurring theme in the [[Pokémon anime]]. There are several episodes that have a plot revolving around unusually large {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, such to the point that it seems to be a rather common mutation for Pokémon to go through.
