'''Vivillon''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ビビヨン''' ''Viviyon'') is a dual-type {{2t|Bug|Flying}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation VI]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Spewpa}} starting at [[level]] 12. It is the final form of {{p|Scatterbug}}.

There are a total of 20 known Vivillon [[#Form data|patterns]], one of which is {{pkmn2|event}}-exclusive.

In [[Generation]]s {{gen|VI}} and {{gen|VII}}, Vivillon's wing pattern depends on the real-world geographic location set on the game the Pokémon was generated in.

In {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}, Spewpa will always evolve into Fancy Pattern Vivillon, except if the Spewpa was transferred from another game via {{g|HOME}}, or when the pattern Spewpa can evolve into has been changed by receiving a [[Gift#Postcards|Postcard]] from {{g|GO}}.

(Refer to [[#Form data|Game data→Form data]] for more details.)

==Biology==
[[File:Pokémon HOME Wallpaper Vivillon.png|thumb|150px|left|The Vivillon wallpaper in Pokémon HOME]]
Vivillon is a butterfly-like {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with wings that come in a large variety of patterns. It has a round, grayish head with large, black, pixelated eyes and a pair of skinny antennae. The tips of the antennae each have an ovoid scale that is dark gray on the upper half and beige on the lower half. Vivillon's thorax is an ovoid and divided into three segments; each segment is a different shade of gray. Its legs are also ovoid and are dark gray on the lower half, beige on the upper half, and have a black band in the middle. It has two black, circular hands and no visible arms. While Vivillon's wings come in a wide variety of colors and patterns, they always have black edges and pixelated markings. It can spread its scales to poison its opponents during battle or, as seen in the {{aniseries|XY}} episode ''[[XY012|To Catch a Pokémon Smuggler!]]'', to calm an opponent's fighting spirit. It is highly capable of finding sources of water, such as springs.

Vivillon is the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Powder}} by leveling up.

===Forms===
Vivillon has 20 separate forms; the pattern of Vivillon's wings is affected by the climate and topography of the environment it lives and is born in.

===Form data===

Vivillon has 20 distinct forms, each having different patterns on its wings. {{p|Scatterbug}} and {{p|Spewpa}} have the pattern of Vivillon that they will evolve into already set when the Pokémon is generated; for {{pkmn|Egg}}s, this means the game in which the Egg was created, regardless of parents. This form cannot be changed.

In [[Generation VI]] and [[Generation VII]], its pattern depends on which geographic location the user specified on the [[Nintendo 3DS]] at the time the save file was created. This affects all Vivillon encountered within the game and can only be changed later by deleting the save file and creating a new one. Due to {{DL|Software region|Nintendo 3DS|region locking}}, a Nintendo 3DS system can only pick from a certain subset of geographic locations, depending on which region the system is from. For a comprehensive list, see [[List of Nintendo 3DS country and region settings]].

In {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}, all wild Vivillon will have the Fancy Pattern by default (though other patterns are used by some [[Non-player character|NPCs]]). However, transferring a [[Gift#Postcards|Postcard]] from {{g|GO}} using the [[Mystery Gift]] feature in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet will change the pattern of all wild Vivillon to match the location the Postcard came from. Wild Scatterbug and Spewpa caught after receiving the Postcard will also evolve into Vivillon matching the Postcard's pattern. Scatterbug and Spewpa caught prior to receiving the Postcard will not evolve with the Postcard's pattern. After 24 hours, the wild Pokémon will revert back to Fancy Pattern unless another Postcard has been used. Changing the time and date of the [[Nintendo Switch]] system may end the effect prematurely. An account cannot send more than one Postcard per day, but multiple accounts can be linked each day and can each send a Postcard. A Pokémon Scarlet and Violet save file may not receive the same Postcard more than once. All [[Pokémon breeding|hatched]] Scatterbug will evolve into the Fancy Pattern regardless of Postcard effects. Using the [[Union Circle]] feature, players are able to see and catch wild Vivillon from other players' games, allowing them to catch various patterns of Vivillon regardless of whether they own a matching Postcard. Additionally, if the Scatterbug or Spewpa came from another game like Pokémon GO, it will retain the pattern it was assigned in its original game.

In {{g|Legends: Z-A}}, all wild Vivillon will have the Meadow Pattern. However, the Spewpa received after completing [[Mission (Legends: Z-A)|side mission]] 21 will always evolve into Marine Pattern.

18 of the patterns correspond to certain regions, while the other two do not. The regions corresponding to each pattern differ somewhat between the Nintendo 3DS and Pokémon GO.

===Main series===
[[File:Vivillon anime.png|thumb|250px|A variety of Vivillon in {{aniseries|XY}}]]
====Major appearances====
Vivillon debuted in its Meadow Pattern form in ''[[XY005|A Blustery Santalune Gym Battle!]]'', under the ownership of [[Viola]].

In ''[[PS570|Dancing Vivillon]]'' and ''[[PS571|Burning Fletchinder]]'', fifteen {{tc|Sky Trainer}}s were hypnotized by [[Malva]] and used fifteen Vivillon, each with a different Pattern. The Vivillon Patterns which debuted were the Archipelago, Continental, Elegant, Garden, High Plains, Icy Snow, Jungle, Modern, Monsoon, Polar, River, Sandstorm, Savanna, Sun, and Tundra Patterns. The leader of these Sky Trainers, [[Yvette]], has mentioned that she has 18 of the Vivillon Patterns, including the Poké Ball and Fancy Patterns. After their defeat and no longer being hypnotized the Vivillon safely land the Sky Trainers down in ''[[PS572|Shooting Frogadier]]''. Yvette later uses a Marine Pattern Vivillon with her other Vivillon and in conjunction with Viola's Meadow Pattern Vivillon.

==Trivia==

* Vivillon and its pre-evolved forms are the only:
** {{type|Bug}} Pokémon introduced in [[Generation VI]].
** {{cat|Generation VI Pokémon}} in the {{egg|Bug}} [[Egg Group]].
* Vivillon's [[Effort values|effort value]] [[List of Pokémon by effort value yield|yield]] of 1 HP, 1 Special Attack, and 1 Speed is unique.
* Vivillon's [[List of Pokémon by color|Pokédex color]] has changed between generations:
** In Generation VI, Vivillon's Pokédex color is black.
** In [[Generation VII]], Vivillon's Pokédex color is white.
** In {{g|HOME}}, each of Vivillon's forms are listed under distinct color groupings based on the color of their wings.
*** Since the release of Pokémon HOME, Vivillon is listed under the most [[Pokédex]] [[List of Pokémon by color|color]] groupings, with a total of nine.
*** Meadow Pattern and Fancy Pattern Vivillon are the only {{DL|List of Pokémon by color|pink}} {{type|Bug}} Pokémon.
*** There currently exists a Vivillon form for every Pokédex color group, except {{DL|List of Pokémon by color|black}}.
* Up until [[Generation IX]], Vivillon could not learn {{m|Iron Defense}} directly, even though its pre-evolved form, {{p|Spewpa}}, was able to learn this move from a Move Tutor.
* As of Generation IX, Vivillon has the most [[Pokédex entry|Pokédex entries]] for a single Pokémon, with 20 per game (one for each form).
** Prior to [[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet#Version history|Version 1.2.0]], only some of these 20 entries were accessible, as Spewpa could only evolve into Fancy Pattern Vivillon in {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}, and only a few other entries could be gained from NPC encounters.

===Origin===
Considering the many different varieties of Vivillon that differ depending on the player's geographic location, Vivillon may have been based on ''{{wp|Papilio dardanus}}'', which is known for {{wp|Polymorphism (biology)|having over 14 known morphs}}, each of which mimics a different distasteful species of butterfly. Its block-like wing patterns may be based on {{wp|pixel art}}. Modern Pattern Vivillon in particular may be based on modern art, specifically the {{wp|De Stijl}} movement.

====Name origin====
Vivillon and Viviyon may be a combination of ''vivid'' and ''papillon'' (French for butterfly). It may also involve 美 ''bi'' (Japanese for beauty) or ''brillant'' (French for brilliant).

'''Spewpa''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''コフーライ''' ''Kofuurai'') is a {{type|Bug}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation VI]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Scatterbug}} starting at [[level]] 9 and evolves into {{p|Vivillon}} starting at level 12. Scatterbug and Spewpa each have [[#Form data|20 visually indistinct forms]] that determine the {{fd|Vivillon|form}} of Vivillon they evolve into.

==Biology==
Spewpa is small, cocoon-like {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} mostly hidden by sharp white fur with square particles of red, black, and pale yellow in and around the fur. Poking out of the top of its fur is its large, round head. The head is light gray in the back with a darker gray face. There is a beige dot over each eye and the face is bisected by a thin, black line that ends in a beige triangle at the top of the head. Its eyes are also beige with square, black pupils.

In order to defend itself from predators such as {{p|Rufflet}}, Spewpa will bristle its fur or spray a poisonous black powder. Spewpa is a nomadic Pokémon, travelling across fields and mountains while building up energy for it to evolve. However, it generally inhabits the shadows of thickets.

===Evolution===
Spewpa evolves from {{p|Scatterbug}} and evolves into {{p|Vivillon}}.

===Form data===
{{p|Scatterbug}} and Spewpa each have 20 forms internally, one for each {{p|Vivillon}} pattern. This determines the {{fd|Vivillon|form}} of Vivillon they will eventually evolve into, and is determined when they are first generated; for {{pkmn|Egg}}s, this means the game in which the Egg was created, regardless of parents.

In [[Generation VI]] and [[Generation VII]], its internal form depends on which geographic location the user specified on the [[Nintendo 3DS]] at the time the save file was created. Due to {{DL|Software region|Nintendo 3DS|region locking}}, a Nintendo 3DS system can only pick from a certain subset of geographic locations, depending on which region the system is from. For a comprehensive list, see [[List of Nintendo 3DS country and region settings]].

In {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}, all [[Pokémon breeding|hatched]] Scatterbug will evolve into Fancy Pattern Vivillon, regardless of [[Gift#Postcards|Postcard]] effects. Scatterbug and Spewpa caught with a Postcard active will evolve into the pattern of Vivillon corresponding to the Postcard. If a Scatterbug or Spewpa came from another game like {{g|GO}}, it will retain the pattern it was assigned in its original game.

==In animation==
[[File:Spewpa anime.png|thumb|250px|Spewpa in {{aniseries|XY}}]]
===Main series===
====Major appearances====
Multiple Spewpa appeared in ''[[XY012|To Catch a Pokémon Smuggler!]]'', all of which had earlier evolved from Scatterbug, including one of them that {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} helped out. One of the Spewpa later [[Evolution|evolved]] into a Vivillon while battling with [[Dolan]]'s {{p|Diggersby}}, and the rest evolved afterwards.

Six Spewpa appeared in ''[[XY121|Seeing the Forest for the Trees!]]'' in the [[Kalos Route 20|Winding Woods]]. Ash and {{AP|Greninja}} had to save them from freezing in a blizzard, and later ended up saving one of the Spewpa from falling off a cliff. This helped them to master the Ash-Greninja form. Afterwards, they all evolved into Meadow Pattern Vivillon. Two of them reappeared in a flashback in ''[[XY139|Facing the Needs of the Many!]]'', ''[[XY140|Till We Compete Again!]]'', and ''[[JN108|Catching the Aura of Fate!]]'' as Spewpa.

====Minor appearances====
Spewpa debuted in ''[[XY001|Kalos, Where Dreams and Adventures Begin!]]''.

Three Spewpa appeared in ''[[XY084|Adventures in Running Errands!]]'', all under the ownership of a {{pkmn|Trainer}}.

A Trainer's Spewpa appeared in ''[[XY138|The First Day of the Rest of Your Life!]]''.

===POKÉTOON===
A Spewpa appeared in [[PT12]].

===Pokémon Adventures===
Two Spewpa were used by the [[Lumiose Press editor-in-chief]] in ''[[PS562|Pangoro Poses a Problem]]'', to stop {{adv|X}} from protecting [[Alexa]]. With their {{m|Rage Powder}}, the Spewpa prevented X's [[Marisso]] and [[Salamè]] from listening to X's commands. Eventually, both were defeated, but X's Pokémon were left exhausted afterward.

===After the Rain, Goomy.===
A Spewpa appeared in [[After the Rain, Goomy.]]

[[File:Spewpa SSB4.png|thumb|240px|Spewpa in [[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U|Super Smash Bros. for 3DS.]]]]
Spewpa appears as a {{i|Poké Ball}} summon. It uses {{m|Stun Spore}} to temporarily stun any nearby opponents that attack it, but doesn't move otherwise.

[[File:Spewpa_3DS_trophy_SSB4.png|thumb|150px|Spewpa trophy in ''Super Smash Bros. for 3DS'']]
Spewpa also appears as a trophy in both versions of the game.

====Trophy information====
'''NA''': ''Spewpa, the Scatterdust Pokémon. This Bug-type Pokémon can harden its body to protect against attacks. If attacked in Smash Bros., it'll bristle up and paralyze its opponent with Stun Spore. However, it won't do anything if you don't attack it. Don't mess with it—it won't mess with you. ''

'''PAL''': ''Spewpa, the Scatterdust Pokémon. This Bug-type Pokémon can harden its body to protect against attacks. In this game, it might bristle up and paralyse you with Stun Spore. "How ever can I avoid such a terrible fate?", you ask? Just leave it alone. Don't mess with Spewpa, and Spewpa won't mess with you. ''

===[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]===
Spewpa returns as a Pokémon summoned from the Poké Ball, retaining the same behavior from the previous game.
{{-}}

==Trivia==
* Spewpa and its evolutionary relatives are the only:
** {{type|Bug}} Pokémon introduced in [[Generation VI]].
** {{cat|Generation VI Pokémon}} in the {{egg|Bug}} [[Egg Group]].
* Spewpa is [[List of Pokémon with unique base stat totals|the only Pokémon]] with a base stat total of 213.
* Spewpa can learn {{m|Iron Defense}} from a [[Move Tutor]], but its Evolution, {{p|Vivillon}}, cannot.
* Spewpa and its pre-evolved form, {{p|Scatterbug}}, are the only {{DL|List of Pokémon by color|black}} Bug-type Pokémon.

===Origin===
Spewpa is likely based on the larval forms of certain members of the {{wp|Tineidae}} family, such as the {{wp|carpet moth}} and {{wp|Tinea pellionella|case-bearing clothes moth}}, which construct snug cases of fibres and hairs that leave their heads exposed. The square powder on Spewpa's body might be based on {{wp|confetti}} or screen {{wp|pixel}}s.

Considering its evolutionary relatives, Spewpa may also represent a generic {{wp|pupa}} of a moth or butterfly, particularly {{wp|silkworm}} cocoons. The way it uses its hairs to protect itself from predation may be a reference to the {{wp|urticating hairs}} of some caterpillars that are incorporated into their cocoons for protection.

====Name origin====
Spewpa may be a combination of ''spew'' and ''{{wp|pupa}}''.

Kofuurai may be a combination of 小 ''ko'' (small) or 粉 ''ko'' (powder) and 風来人 ''furaijin'' (wanderer).

'''Alakazam''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''フーディン''' ''Foodin'') is a {{type|Psychic}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation I]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Kadabra}} when [[Trade Evolution|traded]] or when exposed to a [[Linking Cord]]. It is the final form of {{p|Abra}}.

(Refer to [[#Evolution data|Game data→Evolution data]] for more details.)

Alakazam can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into '''Mega Alakazam''' using the [[Alakazite]].

==Biology==
Alakazam is a slightly {{wp|humanoid}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with a large mustache. A female Alakazam has a significantly shorter mustache than a male. It has a long, thin snout, narrow eyes, ear-like spikes extending from the top of its head, and an additional spike protruding from each cheek. Covering its yellow, skeletal body are brown armor-like sections over its chest, shoulders, forearms, and knees. There are three toes on each foot, each of which has a white claw. Two of the toes face forward, while one faces backward. It wields a silver spoon in each hand, which act as amplifiers for its psychic abilities. The spoons are created using its psychic powers, and it may give one to someone it trusts. According to its [[Pokémon Ultra Moon]] Pokédex entry, anything eaten with the spoon becomes delicious.

Alakazam is able to use all forms of psychic abilities, including telekinesis and {{m|Shadow Ball|blasts of offensive energy}}. The overflow of its psychic powers can cause headaches to those nearby. These powers are used to move its body, as opposed to its weak muscles. It also uses its psychic powers to hold up its head, which is too heavy to be supported by its neck. Due to its continually growing brain, its head becomes larger with age. It is said to have an excellent memory and can {{wp|Eidetic memory|remember everything that it has experienced}} since hatching as an {{p|Abra}}, to the time of its death, and has an IQ that exceeds 5,000. It is found in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Urban Pokémon|urban areas}}.

Alakazam and its pre-evolved form, {{p|Kadabra}}, are the [[signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Kinesis}}.

===Forms===
Alakazam can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into Mega Alakazam.

As Mega Alakazam, its mustache turns white and becomes longer and bushier. It also grows a long, white beard. The armor-like sections become bulkier, and its upper body section becomes slightly shorter to reveal its thin stomach. The ear-like spikes become slightly shorter, and a larger spike forms on top of its head. Additionally, it gains an oval, red organ in the center of its forehead. The organ is said to emit psychic power.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20160406143554/http://www.pokemonxy.com/en-us/pokemon/mega_pokemon/#Mega%20Alakazam | Mega Alakazam | Official Site | Pokémon X and Pokémon Y]</ref> Its lower legs become longer and slimmer, and its feet become skinnier and resemble talons. It gains three additional spoons, for a total of five that it levitates in the air.

At the cost of its already-low muscular strength, Mega Alakazam's power is entirely converted to pure psychic energy. Mega Alakazam is constantly floating thanks to its psychic powers. It can read the course of a person's entire life with a single glance. Mega Alakazam's red organ allows it to foresee every move an opponent makes and everything else. Its precognition is powerful enough to make an attack completely miss Mega Alakazam.

===NPC appearances===
* {{g|Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team}}: Alakazam is the leader of [[Team A.C.T.]], a [[Rank (Mystery Dungeon)|Gold Rank]] rescue team.

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

==Trivia==
* Alakazam could be seen as a counterpart to {{p|Machamp}}. They are both the last stage of a three-part evolutionary line, they reach their final stage by [[Trade|trading]], level up at a Medium Slow rate, and they both have a 75% male gender ratio. Also, Alakazam excels at the {{Stat|Special Attack}} stat, while Machamp excels at {{stat|Attack}}. Their evolutionary lines are also next to each other in the National Pokédex. Moreover, a girl in [[Oreburgh City]] will [[List of in-game trades#Diamond Pearl and Platinum|trade]] her Abra for a Machop. Additionally, their base friendship is the same at 70, and all Pokémon in both of their respective evolutionary lines are in the Human-Like Egg Group. Finally, while Alakazam has a Mega Evolution, Machamp has a [[Gigantamax]] form.
** Alakazam could also be seen as a counterpart to {{p|Gengar}}. They are both the last stage of a three-part evolutionary line, which can only be achieved by trading, both have Mega Evolutions, Gengar is weak against Psychic moves and Alakazam is weak against Ghost moves, so they are weak and at the same time strong against each other. They have the same length, and both get smaller when they Mega Evolve. Their base friendship is also the same, with 70. In ''[[EP072|The Ancient Puzzle of Pokémopolis]]'', there are a Gengar and an Alakazam put against each other. Since Generation VI, they both have a base stat total of 500. Both are weak to Dark-type Moves. They also have the same stat structure throughout their Evolutions, always having high Speed and Special Attack, and being very low in Physical Defense and still relatively low in Special Defense, HP, and Physical Attack.
* Alakazam was the only Pokémon whose [[Base stats|base stat total]] does not increase by exactly 100 points upon [[Mega Evolution]], gaining instead only 90 points overall. This only applied to it in [[Generation VI]] because Mega Alakazam received another 10 points in its Special Defense in [[Generation VII]].
** Because some form of Alakazam had its {{stat|Special Defense}} raised in both Generation VI and Generation VII, Alakazam is the only Pokémon whose base stats changed more than once after [[Generation II]].
* Alakazam has the lowest average [[performance]] of any fully evolved Pokémon.
* In {{2v2|Red|Blue}}, an Alakazam sent out by an opponent while the player's Pokémon has low health will have the cry of a {{p|Gastly}}.
* In {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, Alakazam is the same height as {{ga|Ethan}}.

===Origin===
Alakazam appears to be based on a {{wp|Magician (fantasy)|magician}} and also a {{wp|Spoon bending|spoon bender}}. It also shares similarities to {{wp|foxes}}, animals mythologically tied to magic. The combination of human body, horns, ties to magic, and five-pointed star-shaped head similar to {{wp|pentagram}} make it similar to {{wp|Baphomet}}. As it created the spoons with its psychic powers, it may be based on the practice of {{wp|alchemy}}, an early science that sought to synthesize metals with magic. Its horns, talons, and long mustache are also reminiscent of {{wp|Chinese dragon}}s, which similarly are considered miraculous beings.

Mega Alakazam appears to be based on a {{wp|sorcerer}} or {{wp|wizard}}, or possibly {{wp|sadhu}}s with psychic powers.

====Name origin====
Alakazam's name is derived from ''alakazam'', an incantation used in {{wp|magic (illusion)|stage magic}} similar to ''{{wp|abracadabra}}''.

Foodin may be named after ''{{wp|Harry Houdini}}'', a famed illusionist and escape artist.

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

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Abra}} starting at [[level]] 16 and evolves into {{p|Alakazam}} when [[Trade Evolution|traded]] or when exposed to a [[Linking Cord]].

(Refer to [[#Evolution data|Game data→Evolution data]] for more details.)

==Biology==
Kadabra is a primarily yellow, slightly {{wp|humanoid}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with {{wp|mammal}}ian features. It has two long, pointed ears on top of its head, a red star on its forehead, narrow, deep-set eyes, and wide cheeks leading down to a thin snout. Extending from each side of its snout are two mustache-like tufts of fur; a male will have a longer mustache than a female. Kadabra's torso is segmented with bulky shoulders, a thick, brown chest, and a small abdomen marked by three red, wavy lines. Attached to the Pokémon's abdomen is a large, thick tail encircled with a brown band near its base. Its arms are thin with brown elbows and end in three-fingered hands with white claws. Its legs have prominent knees and large, three-toed feet, also ending in white claws. Two of its toes face forward and one backward. Kadabra is always seen carrying a silver spoon, which amplifies its telekinetic powers. A gold spoon does not work as an amplifier and Kadabra is only half as strong without a spoon.

Kadabra emits {{wp|alpha wave}}s strong enough to induce headaches, and can even cause clocks to run backward, machines to malfunction, and delicate devices to cease functioning altogether. The waves increase further in strength the more danger Kadabra faces. By closing its eyes, it can double the number of alpha particles it emits. When it has a headache, the alpha waves become unusual. All of Kadabra's brain cells work in unison while it uses its powers. It sleeps while levitating, using its springy tail like a pillow. It can store up psychic energy inside its star in preparation for its Evolution. There is a theory that Kadabra was born from a transformed human child who could not control his powers. Kadabra lives in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Urban Pokémon|urban areas}}.

Kadabra and its evolved form, {{p|Alakazam}}, are the [[signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Kinesis}}.

===Evolution===
Kadabra evolves from {{p|Abra}} and evolves into {{p|Alakazam}}.

(For specifics on this Pokémon's Evolution in the games, refer to [[#Evolution data|Game data→Evolution data]].)

* [[Pocket Monsters Encyclopedia]] says that Kadabra's [[Pokédex]] entry from {{game|Red and Green|s}} is a reference to an in-universe novel "Transformation" that won the second Pokémon Literary Award. The plot of this in-universe novel seems to resemble the {{wp|Franz Kafka}} novel ''{{wp|The Metamorphosis}}'' whose title has had the alternate translation of ''The Transformation''.
* In {{game|Crystal}}, a {{DL|List of glitches in Generation II|Heavy Ball junk data glitch|bug}} causes the capture formula for the [[Heavy Ball]] to incorrectly retrieve this Pokémon's weight, giving it a +40 catch rate modifier. This also affects {{p|Tauros}} and {{p|Sunflora}}.
* If a Kadabra holds an [[Everstone]] from [[Generation III]] onwards while traded, the Everstone will not take effect and the Kadabra will still evolve into {{p|Alakazam}}. While it shares this trait with {{p|Machoke}}, {{p|Graveler}} and {{p|Haunter}} in Generation III due to a glitch, Kadabra keeps this trait in [[Generation IV]] onwards while the other three do not.

===Design variations===
Kadabra's original front [[#Sprites|sprite]] in {{game|Red and Green|s}} lacks the star on its head and the pattern on its abdomen. The star is also missing from its sprite in {{game|Red and Blue|s}}. Additionally, Kadabra's Red and Green sprite appears to depict it with four fingers on its hand instead of three, with its middle finger folded into its palm. In its corresponding artwork for the game, this finger is missing, but the knuckle is still visible. All other depictions of Kadabra use the three-fingered hand design. This may relate to a similar phenomenon affecting other Pokémon that originally had [[Pokémon controversies#Four-fingered hands|four fingers on each hand]].

===Controversy===
{{main|Pokémon controversies#Uri Geller|Pokémon controversies → Uri Geller}}
For 20 years, Kadabra was not printed as a {{Trading Card Game}} card since the English {{TCG|Skyridge}} expansion in 2003. This was likely the result of Nintendo and Pokémon Card Laboratories' desire to avoid further litigation from illusionist {{wp|Uri Geller}}, who claimed that Kadabra is a parody of him and attempted to sue Nintendo over the notion. However, on November 28, 2020, Geller [https://twitter.com/TheUriGeller/status/1332794451727691777 released an apology on Twitter], announcing that he would allow Nintendo to print cards featuring Kadabra again. The first {{TCG ID|151|Kadabra|64}} card released since Uri Geller's dismissal of his lawsuit is included in the Japanese {{TCG|Pokémon Card 151}} subset, released on June 16, 2023; and the English {{TCG|151}} expansion, released on September 22, 2023.

Due to the now-lifted limitation, very few {{TCG|Abra}} were printed, with the sole example, the {{TCG ID|Mysterious Treasures|Abra|69}} in {{TCG|Mysterious Treasures}}, having the ability to evolve directly into {{TCG|Alakazam}} via the '''Ultra Evolution''' {{TCG|attack}}. Alakazam cards also saw fewer than normal printings, but snuck into sets using a number of mechanics that allow for it to be printed as a {{TCG|Basic Pokémon}} that does not evolve from Kadabra. Examples include [[Alakazam ☆ (EX Crystal Guardians 99)|Alakazam]] {{Star}}, [[Alakazam-EX (Fates Collide 25)|Alakazam]]{{EX}}, and {{TCG ID|Silver Tempest|Radiant Alakazam|59}}.

For possibly the same reason, Kadabra had not made any animated appearances since ''[[AG146|Fear Factor Phony]]'' aired in the United States in 2006, except for a small cameo in the "World of Pokémon" opening of ''[[M15|Kyurem vs. The Sword of Justice]]''. Kadabra finally made its media reappearance in the [[Pokémon Evolutions]] episode ''[[PE07|The Show]]'', its first animated appearance in over 16 years, excluding its cameo in the aforementioned movie. Notably, when {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} met [[Mira]] in ''[[Pokémon the Series]]'', she was seen using an Abra instead of a Kadabra as she does in the {{pkmn|games}}, despite the fact that the other [[Stat Trainers]] in the series own the same Pokémon as they do in the games.

Kadabra also did not appear in {{g|Ranger: Shadows of Almia}}, whereas Abra and Alakazam did.

===Origin===
Kadabra appears to be based on {{wp|Magician (fantasy)|magicians}} and {{wp|Spoon bending|spoon benders}}. It also shares similarities with {{wp|fox}}es, animals mythologically tied to magic. Its mustache-like tufts of fur may be an exaggeration of a fox's whiskers. The symbols on Kadabra's forehead and abdomen appear to be references to {{wp|Zener cards}}, a small deck of symbols used in experiments to test for {{wp|extrasensory perception}} and {{wp|clairvoyance}} in the early 1930s. As it created its spoon with its psychic powers, it may be based on the practise of {{wp|alchemy}}, an early science that sought to synthesise metals with magic. The "Transformation" novel about Kadabra may be based on {{wp|Franz Kafka}}'s ''{{wp|The Metamorphosis}}'' or the ''{{Wp|Ultra Q}}'' episode "Kanegon's Cocoon", where a young boy transformed into a strange yellow monster.

====Name origin====
Kadabra may be derived from ''{{wp|abracadabra}}'', an incantation used in {{wp|magic (illusion)|stage magic}}.

Yungerer may be named after ''{{wp|Uri Geller}}'', an illusionist famed for his spoon-bending technique. This contributed to Geller {{wp|Uri Geller#Copyright claims|suing}} [[Nintendo]] for using his likeness in a character.

'''Victreebel''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ウツボット''' ''Utsubot'') is a dual-type {{2t|Grass|Poison}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation I]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Weepinbell}} when exposed to a [[Leaf Stone]]. It is the final form of {{p|Bellsprout}}.

Victreebel can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into '''Mega Victreebel''' using the [[Victreebelite]]. Mega Victreebel was introduced in [[Pokémon Legends: Z-A]].

==Biology==
Victreebel is a {{wp|pitcher plant}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with a bell-shaped body. It has a gaping mouth with a swollen pink lip and two sharp teeth on the bottom. Its semicircular eyes appear directly under its mouth and it has several dark green spots on its body. On either side of its body is a large green leaf. Covering Victreebel's mouth is a leaf with a long, brown, yellow-tipped vine growing out of it. The acid produced by Victreebel can corrode any material, regardless of its hardness.

Victreebel is said to live in huge colonies deep in jungles, although no one has ever returned from there. Being the result of exposure to an [[Evolution stone]], Victreebel is rarely found in the wild, though they can be found in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Forest Pokémon|temperate forests and jungles}}. The vine on its leaf is flicked to mimic an animal in order to attract prey. It also produces a sweet scent of nectar or honey to further aid in luring its victims. Acid that has dissolved numerous prey becomes sweeter and even more effective at attracting prey. In the Pokémon Adventures chapter ''[[PS022|A Hollow Victreebel]]'', Victreebel hoards food, usually small birds and rodents, and collects [[Leaf Stone]]s to perform [[Evolution]] rituals at night to help {{p|Weepinbell}} become Victreebel as well. As mentioned in [[Pokémon Sleep]], Victreebel is known to sleep with its mouth open to draw in prey.<ref>[[Sleep style|Sleep Style Dex]]</ref> Very rarely however, it forgets about luring in prey and instead chooses to sleep face down.

===Forms===
[[File:Mega Victreebel Sludge Bomb.png|thumb|left|250px|Mega Victreebel opening its mouth when using {{m|Sludge Bomb}}<ref name=ZAsite2/>]]
Victreebel can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into Mega Victreebel.

Mega Victreebel's body is massive compared to regular Victreebel, standing at almost three times its height and weighing over eight times as much. Its most distinctive feature is its bloated body, which is filled with large amounts of acid that Mega Victreebel creates thanks to the energy of Mega Evolution. The amount of acid in Mega Victreebel's body is so large that even closing its mouth is not enough to contain it,<ref name=ZAsite2/> so it has to wrap its throat with its own elongated vine in order to prevent the acid from spilling out.<ref name=ZAsite/> Other notable physical features of Mega Victreebel include green leaves with orange tips on the sides of its body, and three large leaves on the tip of its vine hovering over its head, which also have orange tips.

Due to the overflowing acid inside Mega Victreebel's body, it no longer catches prey by sitting still with its mouth open. Instead, it aggressively chases down prey by hopping about, landing destructive tackles with its body. The matured acid has a dizzying sweet scent, which Mega Victreebel uses to immobilize opponents by fanning the fumes towards them with the leaves on top of its head. It can employ the acid offensively, easily dissolving concrete or steel.<ref name=ZAsite>[https://legends.pokemon.com/en-us/story-world/pokemon/mega-victreebel Pokémon Legends: Z-A | Mega Victreebel] — Pokémon Official Website</ref> When Mega Victreebel opens its mouth to unleash its acid, its deflated appearance briefly resembles Victreebel's normal form.<ref name=ZAsite2>(August 21, 2025).

During the fight, [[Professor Elm]]'s [[Megaree|Chikorita]] came looking for Crystal, prompting Victreebel to sneakily use Chikorita as a living shield to defend itself from [[Archy|Arcanine]]'s {{type|Fire}} attacks.

A Victreebel appeared in ''[[PS179|The Last Battle XIII]]'' as one of the Pokémon sent to participate in the fight in [[Ilex Forest]].

===Pokémon Zensho===
A Victreebel appeared in [[PZ05]], under the ownership of a {{tc|Gym Trainer}} at [[Celadon Gym]].

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

==Trivia==
* In [[Generation I]], Victreebel has the highest [[index number]] of all non-[[glitch Pokémon]].
* Despite learning {{m|Leech Life}} through {{pkmn|breeding}}, Victreebel and its pre-evolved forms could not learn it through [[TM]] until {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}.
* In {{aniseries|HZ}}, [[Brassius]] has made a pitcher modeled after a Victreebel. This could be a pun because it is based off of a pitcher plant.
* Mega Victreebel was first teased in a short video titled "The Case of the Sweet Scent Incident", which was released on August 21, 2025.<ref>(August 21, 2025). "[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NyfDz36JkkU The Case of the Sweet Scent Incident | Pokémon Legends: Z-A]." The Official Pokémon YouTube channel. ''[[YouTube]]''.</ref>

===Concept and development===
Victreebel, along with its evolutionary relatives, was designed by [[Atsuko Nishida]].<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/19980121112202fw_/http://www.gamefreak.co.jp/POKEMON/INTER/ATSUKO/INTER_AT.HTM Interview with Atsuko Nishida on Game Freak's website] (archived, Japanese)</ref><ref>[https://funs-project.com/poplab/007/index_2.html Fun's Project interview with Atsuko Nishida] (Japanese)</ref>

===Origin===
{{bulbanews|On the Origin of Species: Victreebel}}
Victreebel may be based on carnivorous {{wp|pitcher plant}}s. The blue lips in its {{Shiny}} coloration may reference how a pitcher plant's rim turns blue under {{wp|Ultraviolet|UV light}}.

Mega Victreebel may be based on the ''{{wp|Nepenthes}}'' genus in particular — specifically their lower traps that tend to be larger and sit on the ground. The way Mega Victreebel's vine constricts its mouth shut may also be inspired by the coiling vines of several ''Nepenthes'' species such as ''{{wp|Nepenthes mirabilis}}''. Mega Victreebel also bears resemblance to {{wp|calabash}}es (also known as "bottle gourds"), {{wp|waterskin}}s, or {{wp|wineskin}}s. It may also be based on {{wp|Water balloon#Yo-yo balloon|water balloon yo-yos}} (Japanese: 水ヨーヨー ''mizu yo-yo'') used in the game of yo-yo fishing (Japanese: ヨーヨー釣り ''yo-yo tsuri'').

====Name origin====
Victreebel may be a combination of ''victory'', ''tree'', and ''bell''. The shortening of "bell" into ''bel'' is likely a result of the ten-character limit on English Pokémon names in [[Generation I]].

Utsubot may be derived from 靫葛 ''utsubokazura'' (pitcher plant) and possibly ポット ''pot''.

'''Weepinbell''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ウツドン''' ''Utsudon'') is a dual-type {{2t|Grass|Poison}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation I]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Bellsprout}} starting at [[level]] 21 and evolves into {{p|Victreebel}} when exposed to a [[Leaf Stone]].

==Biology==
Weepinbell is a {{wp|pitcher plant}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with a yellow, bell-shaped body. Above Weepinbell's circular eyes are three small green spots and a small, brown hook-shaped stem. It has wide, gaping mouth with pink lips. On each side of its body is a large, green leaf.

Weepinbell camouflages itself as a plant in the forest whilst awaiting an unwary victim. When its prey draws near it sprays poison powder to immobilize the target before melting it with its internal acids. It oozes a neutralizing fluid that prevents these internal acids from melting its own body. It will also slice its prey too large to consume into pieces with its razor-sharp leaves. Weepinbell live in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Forest Pokémon|temperate forests and jungles}} where it hangs from tree branches by its stem to sleep. If it moves around during sleep, Weepinbell may slip and awaken to find itself on the ground. As mentioned in [[Pokémon Sleep]], Weepinbell is known to sometimes sleep undisturbed, even after falling down to the ground .<ref>[[Sleep style|Sleep Style Dex]]</ref>

===Evolution===
Weepinbell evolves from {{p|Bellsprout}} and evolves into {{p|Victreebel}}.

===Concept and development===
Weepinbell, along with its evolutionary relatives, was designed by [[Atsuko Nishida]].<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/19980121112202fw_/http://www.gamefreak.co.jp/POKEMON/INTER/ATSUKO/INTER_AT.HTM Interview with Atsuko Nishida on Game Freak's website] (archived, Japanese)</ref><ref>[https://funs-project.com/poplab/007/index_2.html Fun's Project interview with Atsuko Nishida] (Japanese)</ref>

===Origin===
Weepinbell may be based on carnivorous {{wp|pitcher plant}}s.

====Name origin====
Weepinbell may be a combination of ''weeping'' and ''bell''.

Utsudon may be derived from 靫葛 ''utsubokazura'' (pitcher plant). It may also involve 鬱 ''utsu'' (depression, melancholy).

'''Pyroar''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''カエンジシ''' ''Kaenjishi'') is a dual-type {{2t|Fire|Normal}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation VI]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Litleo}} starting at [[level]] 35.

Pyroar can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into '''Mega Pyroar''' using the [[Pyroarite]]. Mega Pyroar was introduced in [[Pokémon Legends: Z-A]].

==Biology==
[[File:Pyroar Pokécology.png|250px|thumb|left|The pride hunting strategy utilized by Pyroar.]]
Pyroar is a quadrupedal, leonine {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. It is mostly dark brown with light brown legs, tail tip, chest, and face. It has a rounded muzzle with a dark brown nose, round ears with dark brown interiors, bright blue eyes, and a dark brown stripe behind each eye. The fur around its thighs is longer and each paw has three toes. There is a tuft of longer fur on the tip of its tail. A male Pyroar has a large, predominantly red mane with gold streaks forming a pattern resembling the ''Daimonji'' symbol (大) and the symbol for fire (火). In contrast, a female has a long, gold and red crest-like mane extending from its forehead. Female Pyroar significantly outnumber their male counterparts. The female's mane is as long as its whole body, and the light brown on its front legs extends all the way to its shoulders. The light brown fur on the male's front legs only extends up to its elbows.

Like real-life lions, Pyroar live in prides, which are led by the male with the largest mane. The pride's females protect the {{p|Litleo}} cubs and teach them how to hunt. The females also work together to bring down prey, ensuring the pride never goes hungry. A male Pyroar is usually lazy, but will protect its friends at the risk of its own well-being. In battle, the male Pyroar's mane can heat up to over 3,600 degrees Fahrenheit (2,000 degrees Celsius), which can cause severe burns when approached. Pyroar viciously threatens any challenger with a fiery breath exceeding 10,000 degrees Fahrenheit (6,000 degrees Celsius). However, it prefers its meat raw and does not use its breath on its prey. Pyroar typically lives in grassy plains and mountainsides.

Prior to [[Generation VII]], Pyroar and its pre-evolved form, Litleo, were the [[signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Noble Roar}}.

===Forms===
Pyroar can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into Mega Pyroar.

As Mega Pyroar, its mane becomes massively enlarged, flaring out in multiple directions from its head. Each tuft of its mane is red with a yellow stripe. The bottom portion of its mane retains the ''Daimonji'' symbol (大), while the top of its mane rests wholly above its head and forms the kanji symbol for fire (火). The topmost tuft of Mega Pyroar's mane extends to the back. Other visual changes gained by Mega Pyroar include red markings on its cheeks. Unlike regular Pyroar, there is no gender difference between male and female Mega Pyroar.

The energy of Mega Evolution has increased the temperature of Pyroar's fiery breath from 10,000 degrees Fahrenheit (6,000 degrees Celsius) to 18,000 degrees Fahrenheit (10,000 degrees Celsius). In battle, it protects its allies by swinging around its enlarged mane at opponents.

===Main series===
====Major appearances====
=====[[Lysandre's Pyroar]]=====
A male Pyroar debuted in ''[[XYS02|Mega Evolution Special II]]'', under the ownership of [[Lysandre]]. He made further appearances in the rest of the [[Mega Evolution Specials]], and later in the main series episodes ''[[XY094|From A to Z!]]'' and ''[[XY133|Coming Apart at the Dreams!]]'', with the former marking the species' animated series debut. He was mostly seen [[Walking Pokémon|outside of its Poké Ball]].

=====Other=====
Four Pyroar appeared in ''[[XY097|A Fiery Rite of Passage!]]'', with three of them being female and one being male; this marked the debut of Pyroar's female form. The male Pyroar forced one of four {{p|Litleo}} cubs to leave their pride to become more independent, but kept an eye on it. It eventually allowed Litleo to find its independence and live outside the pride.

A female Pyroar appeared in ''[[XY137|Battling With a Clean Slate!]]'', under the ownership of [[Alvin]]. She battled against [[Clembot]], who used {{TP|Clemont|Magneton}}, and lost.

====Minor appearances====
A male Pyroar debuted in ''[[M17|Diancie and the Cocoon of Destruction]]'', under the ownership of [[Astrid]]. He was the first Pokémon she used in her battle against {{Ash}}, and he lost to {{AP|Pikachu}}'s {{m|Electro Ball}}.

A male and female's Pyroar appeared in [[HZ112]].

A male Pyroar appears in the background of the {{st|Kalos Pokémon League}} stage. Pyroar appears in the {{DL|Pokémon League (Kalos)|Blazing Chamber}} along with other {{type|Fire}} Pokémon, namely {{p|Tepig}}, {{p|Blaziken}}, and {{p|Infernape}}.

====Trophy information====
'''NA''': ''The cute {{p|Litleo}} with a red tuft of fur evolves into the majestic-looking Pyroar. Male Pyroar have huge, fiery manes. In the wild, the male with the largest mane of fire becomes the leader. Female Pyroar have long manes and will fiercely protect the pride's cubs.''

'''PAL''': ''{{p|Litleo}}, that adorable little Pokémon with a red tuft of fur, evolves into the majestic Pyroar. Males have huge fiery manes, and the one has the biggest mane is the leader of the pride. Females, on the other hand, have long, flowing manes and play the vital role of protecting the pride's cubs.''
{{-}}

==Trivia==
* Pyroar and {{p|Litleo}} have several unique distinctions:
** They are the only Pokémon with {{a|Moxie}} to favor {{stat|Special Attack}} over physical {{stat|Attack}}, despite the former being its highest stat.
** No other {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} has the same [[type]] [[List of Pokémon with unique type combinations|combination]] as them.
** No other Pokémon has the same [[List of Pokémon by gender ratio|gender ratio]] — [[:Category:Pokémon with a gender ratio of one male to seven females|one male to seven females]] — as them.
* Pyroar and Litleo are the first Pokémon to be classed with the {{type|Normal}} as their secondary type (not counting [[regional form]]s of Pokémon from prior [[generation]]s).
* Pyroar is the only Pokémon with a major female ratio to have [[List of Pokémon with gender differences|gender differences]].
* Pyroar shares its {{pkmn|category}} with {{p|Slowking}}. They are both known as the Royal Pokémon.
* Mega Pyroar is the [[List of Pokémon with unique base stat totals|only Pokémon]] with a base stat total of 607.

===Design variations===
Although the male Pyroar has a chevron-shaped nose in its official artwork and in {{g|Battle Trozei}}, most other merchandise, game, and animated depictions show it with a more triangular-shaped nose, closer to that of the female. As an example, Pyroar's key art and appearance in the {{pkmn|animated series}} can be seen below. For more images, see [[a:Category:Pyroar|Pyroar images on the Bulbagarden Archives]].
<gallery heights=150 widths=200>

</gallery>

===Origin===
Pyroar appears to be based on a lion. The style of its fur, in particular the spiked areas on its limbs and tail, is more than likely a reference to {{wp|Lion (heraldry)|stylized lions in heraldry and coat of arms}}, while the male's mane resembles {{wp|Escutcheon (heraldry)|escutcheon}}s, which would bear heraldic lions. The yellow pattern on the male's mane is similar in shape to the ''Daimonji'', a bonfire lit during the Japanese festival {{wp|Gozan no Okuribi}} in the shape of the symbol 大 (meaning ''great'' or ''large''). The shape also resembles the kanji for fire (火), as written in certain (often calligraphic) styles. Mega Pyroar's mane resembles the kanji 炎 (meaning for ''flame'').

Pyroar's [[:Category:Pokémon with a gender ratio of one male to seven females|gender ratio]] resembles lion prides, which consist of one primary male lion, several females, and one or two lesser males.

====Name origin====
Pyroar may be a combination of ''[[wiktionary:pyro-|pyro-]]'' (prefix pertaining to fire) and ''roar''.

Kaenjishi may be a combination of 火炎 ''kaen'' (flame) and 獅子 ''shishi'' (lion).

'''Scizor''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ハッサム''' ''Hassam'') is a dual-type {{2t|Bug|Steel}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation II]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Scyther}} when [[Trade Evolution|traded]] while holding a [[Metal Coat]]. It is one of Scyther's final forms, the other being {{p|Kleavor}}.

(Specifics may differ in past games. Refer to [[#Evolution data|Game data→Evolution data]] for more details.)

Scizor can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into '''Mega Scizor''' using the [[Scizorite]].

==Biology==
[[File:Scizor no wings anime.png|thumb|left|250px|Scizor with its wings retracted]]
[[File:Sugimori Scizor AG.jpg|thumb|250px|{{aniseries|AG}} reference sheet]]
Scizor is a bipedal, {{wp|insecta|insectoid}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with a red, metallic exoskeleton. It has gray, [[EP270|retractable]] forewings and hind wings with simple, curved venation. Its rounded head has three blunt horns extending above its forehead and eyes with dark yellow irises. Scizor's thin, black neck connects to a black, teardrop-shaped patch on its thorax. Scizor has broad shoulders and thin, segmented arms ending in large, round pincers, which comprise a third of Scizor's body weight. Scizor has a large, rounded abdomen with three black, chevron-shaped stripes extending from its waist down its front; female Scizor has larger abdomens than male Scizor. Scizor's legs are defined by large hip joints, thin thighs, and wide calves, and its feet end in a clawed toe on each side. Its arms appear similar to pincers of animals from {{wp|crustacean}} group like {{wp|crabs}} and the presence of markings resembling eyes gives the illusion of additional heads.

Scizor's slender body belies tremendous offensive power. Its body and muscles are made of metal that is as hard as steel, with pincers strong enough to crush any hard object. They can be opened and closed like jaws and are patterned with black eyespots with yellow "pupils". It will raise its pincers and wave them around to scare off predators or foes, giving it the appearance of having three heads. When it identifies an enemy, Scizor will use its pincers to beat up the opponent to the point there is nothing but scrap left afterwards. Scizor is normally incapable of flight, instead it quickly flaps its wings to regulate its body temperature to prevent itself from becoming too hot and melting, although it still can hover and glide for short distances, as shown in the {{pkmn|games}} and {{pkmn|animated series}}. Scizor is rarely found in the wild, though it can be found in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Grassland Pokémon|grasslands}}.

===Forms===
Scizor can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into Mega Scizor.

Mega Scizor's pincers lengthen and develop serrations. The lower half of the pincers turn white and gain three-pointed spikes on the underside. The barbs on Mega Scizor's pincers can stab through concrete, and opponents caught in them cannot escape.<ref>http://www.pokemonxy.com/en-us/pokemon/mega_pokemon/#Scizor</ref> Its eyespots, along with its actual eyes, are now blue; the former additionally gains a black rim. Additional pieces of black armoring appear on various areas of its body: a three-pointed crest on its forehead and striated coverings on its shoulders and thighs. Mega Scizor's legs are less detailed and resemble large, tapered spikes with white tips.

While Mega Scizor is formidable, it cannot maintain this form for extended periods, as it is overflown with excess energy from its Mega Evolution and is unable to regulate its body temperature properly. After too long, its body starts to melt, losing the strength to wield its heavy pincers. Mega Scizor's pincers can rip anything they grab to shreds, although it prefers to beat things up instead of grasping them.

===Evolution===
Scizor evolves from {{p|Scyther}}. It is one of Scyther's final forms. In the [[Hisui]] region, {{p|Kleavor}} is Scyther's other final form.

==Other appearances==
[[File:Pokkén Scizor.png|200px|thumb|Scizor in Pokkén Tournament]]
===[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]===
When released from a {{i|Poké Ball}}, Scizor will charge forward while flailing its claws, then leap high into the air and fall off the screen. Its attack pattern is similar to [[Marill (Pokémon)#Super Smash Bros. Melee|Marill]].

====Trophy information====
''This evolved form of {{p|Scyther}} has arms ending in large pincers with distinctive eye-spot markings. It's unable to fly very far with its wings, but it can affect its body temperature by flapping them at high speeds. Its sleek look has made Scizor quite popular among collectors.''

===[[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U]]===
Scizor makes a cameo appearance in the {{st|Kalos Pokémon League}}. When the stage transitions to the {{DL|Pokémon League (Kalos)|Ironworks Chamber}}, it can be seen in the background along with {{p|Steelix}}, {{p|Klinklang}}, and {{p|Honedge}}.

====Trophy information====
'''NA:''' ''Is that a three-headed monster?! No, wait... the left and right heads are actually claws! Creepy. Most creatures that have face-like patterns use them defensively to give themselves a chance to flee. Scizor throws that idea away and uses them to scare foes while it attacks!''

'''PAL:''' ''It may look like this Pokémon has three heads, but that's just what it wants you to think. Look closer and you'll see that two of them are actually claws. Most creatures with face-like markings use them to scare predators to give themselves a chance to run away, but Scizor seems more likely to attack while its foe is stunned!''

===[[Pokkén Tournament]]===
{{main|Scizor (Pokkén)}}
Scizor is a Battle Pokémon in the arcade and Nintendo Switch versions of Pokkén Tournament. Its moves include {{m|Swords Dance}}, {{m|Metal Claw}}, {{m|U-turn}}, {{m|Aerial Ace}}, {{m|Bullet Punch}}, {{m|X-Scissor}}, and {{m|Bug Bite}}. Upon entering Synergy Burst, it Mega Evolves and can use the Burst Attack Iron Meteor Dive.

[[File:SSBU Scizor.jpeg|250px|thumb|Scizor in [[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]]]

===[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]===
Scizor returns as a {{i|Poké Ball}} item as it did in Super Smash Bros. Melee. It retains its movement and actions from prior games, using {{m|Metal Claw}} to fly at and slash opponents in its way with great speed. It then jumps off the screen. Its appearance on Kalos Pokémon League also returns. It also appears as a {{sbw|Spirits (characters)|Spirit}}.
[[File:UNITE Scizor.png|200px|left|thumb|Scizor in Pokémon UNITE]]
===[[Pokémon UNITE]]===
{{main|Scizor (UNITE)}}
Scizor is playable through obtaining a Unite License. It is a melee all-rounder that starts as Scyther, which evolves into Scizor only if Bullet Punch is chosen at level 5. If Dual Wingbeat is chosen, Scyther will remain.
{{-}}

==Trivia==
* Scizor shares its {{pkmn|category}} with {{p|Kingler}}: They are both known as the Pincer Pokémon. However, Scizor was known as the Scissors Pokémon in [[Generation II]] and has been called the Scissor Pokémon in ''[[Pokémon the Series]]''.
* Scizor is the only {{type|Steel}} Pokémon to have {{DL|List of Pokémon by shape|Pokémon with two or more pairs of wings|two or more pairs of wings}}.
* Despite having different base stats, Scizor, {{p|Kleavor}}, and {{p|Scyther}} all have a base stat total of 500. As such, Scizor and Kleavor are the only Pokémon to not have their base stat total changed upon evolving.
* Mega Scizor is tied with {{me|Pinsir}}, Mega {{p|Heracross}}, and {{p|Genesect}} for the highest base stat total of all {{type|Bug}} Pokémon.
* Scizor can be seen as a parallel to {{p|Steelix}}:
** Both have pre-evolved forms from [[Generation I]] and were introduced in [[Generation II]].
** Both evolve via trading with a [[Metal Coat]].
** After evolving, both lose one of their pre-evolved form's [[type]]s and gain a {{t|Steel}} type.
** Both gain a [[Mega Evolution]] in [[Generation VI]].
** Both lose 40 points of base {{stat|Speed}} upon evolving.

===Origin===
Scizor may draw inspiration from {{wp|mantis}}es or {{wp|Climaciella|wasp mantidflies}}. Its arms appear similar to pincers of animals from {{wp|crustacean}} group like {{wp|crabs}} and due to the eye-like markings on them, they look like additional heads.

The additions on Mega Scizor's body may be based on {{wp|samurai}} armor.

====Name origin====
Scizor may be a corruption of ''{{wp|scissors|scissor}}'', or a combination of ''scissor'' and ''{{wp|razor}}''.

Hassam may be a corruption of 剪む ''hasamu'' (to clip or snip).

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Pikachu}} when exposed to a [[Thunder Stone]]. It is the final form of {{p|Pichu}}.

In [[Alola]], Raichu has a dual-type {{2t|Electric|Psychic}} [[regional form]]. It evolves from Pikachu when exposed to a Thunder Stone. All Pikachu in Alola will evolve into this form regardless of their origin. It is the final form of Pichu in the Alola region.

Kantonian Raichu will be able to [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into '''Mega Raichu X''' using the [[Raichunite X]] and '''Mega Raichu Y''' using the [[Raichunite Y]] in the upcoming [[Mega Dimension]] DLC for {{g|Legends: Z-A}}.

==Biology==
Raichu is a bipedal, {{wp|rodent}}-like {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. Even though it's classified as bipedal, Raichu usually get around on all fours. Raichu is covered in dark orange fur with a white belly. Its bifurcated ears are brown on the outside, yellow on the insides, and end in a distinctive curl. There is a circular yellow marking on each cheek where its electric sacs are, and it has a triangular, dark brown nose. Its arms and feet have patches of brown fur at the end, and the soles of its long feet are tan with a circular orange pad in the center. On its back are two horizontal brown stripes. Its long, thin tail has a lightning bolt-shaped end. The tip of this lightning bolt is chipped on females. Raichu exudes a weak electrical charge from its body and glows slightly in the dark.

Raichu's tail is used to gather electricity from the atmosphere, or it can be planted in the ground to search for electricity. It also protects Raichu from its high-voltage power. Raichu can store over 100,000 volts of electricity, enough to knock out a {{p|Copperajah}}. If Raichu's sacs are fully charged, its ears will stand straight up, and its muscles will become stimulated. However, it will become aggressive if it has stored too much electricity and stress. To prevent it from reaching this state, it discharges electricity through its tail into the ground. This leads to scorched patches near its nest. Being the result of [[Evolution]] via [[Evolution stone]], Raichu is rarely found in the wild, though they can be found in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Forest Pokémon|forests and woodlands}}. Part of the reason why Raichu is rarely seen with [[Pokémon Trainer]]s is because people prefer the look it had as a {{p|Pikachu}}. As revealed in the ''[[Pokémon the Series]]'' episode ''[[EP014|Electric Shock Showdown]]'', Raichu is not capable of learning speed attacks upon evolving and can only learn them when they're still a Pikachu. As shown in [[Pokémon Sleep]], Raichu is known to sleep while discharging electricity, and a long tail is planted into the ground like a rod. It can electrocute anyone who comes near it while sleeping.<ref>[[Sleep style|Sleep Style Dex]]</ref>

Raichu and its pre-evolved forms are the [[signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Volt Tackle}}.

===Forms===
Raichu has a [[regional form]]: {{rf|Alolan}} Raichu and two [[Mega Evolution]]s, Mega Raichu X and Mega Raichu Y.

;Alolan Raichu
In [[Alola]], Raichu has lighter coloring and more rounded features. Its eyes are blue with yellow half-circles along the bottom. It has large yellow ears with an inner spiral toward the base and brown on the inside. These ears are thicker and less pointed than a standard Raichu's ear. In addition to its white belly, {{rf|Alolan}} Raichu has white markings on its paws with bright yellow lines between its digits. The stripes on its back have also turned white, and there is a small, white circular marking on each heel. The lightning bolt-shaped tip of its tail has rounded edges. By collecting its psychic power in its tail, it can ride it like a {{wp|surfboard}} and float in the air. While its cheek sacs are still used to store electricity, rubbing them releases a sweet aroma while also getting a light shock. This is also thought to be connected to its Psychic abilities.

Alolan Raichu's origins were initially a mystery at the time. The people of Alola suggested it ate too many sweet and fluffy pancakes,<ref>[http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon/alolan-raichu/ Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon | Alolan Raichu] ([http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon/alolan-raichu/ archived])</ref> especially those made with a secret Alolan recipe. However, researchers believe the change is related to Alolan Raichu's diet in general. It is also believed the weather and climate of the [[Alola]] region played a role in the transformation. Alolan Raichu is capable of unleashing star-shaped thunderbolts. It is also known by the name ''hodad''. While normally found in [[Alola]], it has been seen in the [[Coastal Biome]] of the [[Terarium]] during rare [[mass outbreak]] [[Poké Portal News|events]].

Alolan Raichu is the only known Pokémon capable of using the [[Z-Move]] {{m|Stoked Sparksurfer}}. It is also the [[Signature Ability|only known Pokémon]] that can have {{a|Surge Surfer}} as an [[Ability]].

</gallery>

;Mega Raichu X
As Mega Raichu X, it takes on a color scheme reminiscent of {{p|Pikachu}} with its red cheeks and bright yellow fur, but its overall appearance retains a distinctive resemblance to Kantonian Raichu.<ref name=ZAsite>(September 12, 2025). [https://legends.pokemon.com/en-gb/news/mega-dimension-hoopa The Mythical Pokémon Hoopa Holds the Key to the Story | Pokémon Legends: Z-A]</ref> Its original brown eyes have become red. Its tail has split into two identical tails, which are similar in shape to Pikachu's tail, except for the zig-zagging black fur coloration at the base of each tail. Both of its arms and ears are much larger. The yellow insides of its ears are gone, and its ears now sport a solid black color with golden tips. It also now has a noticeable fang-like left {{wp|canine tooth}}. When using electricity, its cheeks and its tails glow brightly. Its appearance while levitating resembles the letter X.

Mega Raichu X's tails generate electromagnetic force, creating enough repulsion for it to float and propel itself swiftly in the air. It focuses its electric power into its fists as its primary method of attack, allowing it to down much larger foes in one strike. It has ample subcutaneous fat which stores up electricity, augmenting its defenses and allowing it to maintain a high electrical output.<ref name=ZAsite/>
{{left clear}}

;Mega Raichu Y
As Mega Raichu Y, it takes on an appearance distinctly resembling Pikachu,<ref name=ZAsite/> but it retains its original color scheme as regular Raichu with its yellow cheeks and orange fur. Its original brown eyes have become blue, and the lightning bolt-shaped tip of its tail is enlarged. The patches of brown fur at the ends of its arms and feet are now gone, as well as the yellow insides of its ears, which now sport a solid orange color with black tips. A pair of horn-like yellow protrusions made of fur jut out of its ears, resembling a pair of lightning bolts. The ends of these "horns" have the distinctive curls found on the ears of regular Raichu. Additionally, Mega Raichu Y now has two prominent {{wp|Canine tooth|canines}}. When using electricity, its cheeks and horn-like fur glow brightly; in key artwork for [[Mega Dimension]], Mega Raichu Y's teeth are also shown glowing. Its appearance with its tail extended resembles the letter Y.

Mega Raichu Y can generate more powerful electricity in larger quantities using the sacs on its cheeks. When it does so, the energy is amplified, coursing in a zig-zag pattern between its tail and "horns". Amassing so much electricity gives Mega Raichu Y a wild and combative temperament, and it prefers a straightforward approach to battling as opposed to performing tactical maneuvers. This also because its greatest strength is its ability to unleash this energy instantaneously, making it excel in short, decisive battles.<ref name=ZAsite/>

An Alolan Raichu that knew the move {{m|Volt Tackle}} in [[Generation VII]] and transferred in via {{g|Bank}} and {{g|HOME}} can be retaught the move using the Pokémon HOME [[Pokémon_HOME#Move_Reminder|move reminder]] functionality. This is the only way for Alolan Raichu to know the move in {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}. An Alolan Raichu knowing the move is blocked from online trades and can not be used in [[Battle Stadium]].

==Trivia==

* No other {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} has the same [[type]] [[List of Pokémon with unique type combinations|combination]] as Alolan Raichu.
* In {{game|Red and Blue|s}}, there is a {{tc|Scientist}} at the [[Cinnabar Lab|Pokémon Lab]] in [[Cinnabar Island]] who will [[trade]] a Raichu for an {{p|Electrode}}. If the player talks to him after the trade, he will mention that the Raichu evolved, which is not possible. This mistake was due to the original translation of the script of the {{jpn|Pokémon Blue Version|Japanese Blue}} (in which this person traded a Graveler for a Kadabra) rather than that of {{game|Red and Green|s}}. This error was corrected in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, as the script was re-translated.
* Raichu's FireRed and Sun Pokédex entries discuss Raichu's electricity being able to knock out an Indian elephant. In {{g|Legends: Arceus}}, this is changed to {{p|Copperajah}}, which is based on the Indian elephant.
** This is also the only Pokédex entry in Legends: Arceus to mention a Pokémon not obtainable in [[Hisui]].
* Several Pokédex entries claim Raichu can discharge up to {{m|Thunderbolt|100,000 volts}}. However, its Stadium entry claims it can only discharge up to 10,000 volts. This is likely a translation error due to the way numbers are read in Japanese, where 100,000 literally reads "ten ten-thousands".
* Although {{p|Pikachu}} is the [[first partner Pokémon]] of {{game|Yellow}}, it is not possible to directly evolve it into Raichu in the game, and must be traded in from {{2v2|Red|Blue}}. This inability to evolve Pikachu is a reference to [[Ash's Pikachu]] in ''[[Pokémon the Series]]''.
* Raichu and its pre-evolved form both share their {{pkmn|category}} with {{p|Rattata}}, {{p|Raticate}}, {{p|Sandshrew}}, {{p|Sandslash}}, {{p|Pawmi}}, and {{p|Pawmo}}. They are all known as the Mouse Pokémon, though Rattata and Raticate were originally called the Rat Pokémon prior to [[Generation III]].
* Raichu is the 26th Pokémon in both the [[National Pokédex]] and [[List of Pokémon by Alola Pokédex number in Pokémon Sun and Moon|Alola Pokédex]] in {{g|Sun and Moon}}.
* Alolan Raichu is the only [[regional form]] Pokémon to have a [[Z-Move]] exclusive to it, {{m|Stoked Sparksurfer}}.
* Raichu is the most common Pokémon found amongst [[rival]]s, being used by five of them.
* Alolan Raichu is the only [[Alolan form]] available in {{g|Scarlet and Violet}} that can only be obtained by transferring from other games, outside of [[Poké Portal News]] events.
* Raichu is the first Pokémon to have a [[Mega Evolution]] added through DLC expansion.
* Raichu and {{p|Slowbro}} are the only Pokémon to have both a Mega Evolution and a regional form.
* Raichu, between its regular and Alolan forms, is the only Pokémon to have access to both Mega Evolution and an exclusive [[Z-Move]].
* Raichu is the only Pokémon with two Mega Evolutions:
** To not have them released in {{g|X and Y}}.
** To not have them be [[version-exclusive Pokémon]].
** Whose types are the same across the three [[form]]s.
* Mega Raichu X and Mega Raichu Y were the last Mega Evolutions to be revealed in promotional trailers before the release of {{g|Legends: Z-A}}, along with the Mega-Evolved forms of the fully evolved [[Kalos first partner Pokémon]].
* The Raichu family is the only evolutionary family to have access to Mega Evolution, exclusive Z-Moves, and [[Gigantamax]].

===Concept and development===
Raichu and {{rf|Alolan}} Raichu were designed by [[Atsuko Nishida]].<ref name=USUM>"What It Takes to Create a Pokémon." Interview with Ken Sugimori in ''[[Pokémon Ultra Sun & Pokémon Ultra Moon Edition: The Official National Pokédex]]'', p. xxi</ref> The concept of Alolan Raichu came from [[Masafumi Nukita]], which also involved writing its [[Pokédex entry|Pokédex entries]].<ref>https://archive.is/tS5lL</ref>

Raichu originally had an evolved form named "[[List of unused Pokémon and character designs#Gorochu|Gorochu]]" (Japanese: '''ゴロチュウ''' ''Gorochū''), which would have had two horns and fangs.<ref>[https://www.yomiuri.co.jp/fukayomi/20180501-OYT8T50139/3/ Page 3 of Yomiuri interview] with [[Ken Sugimori]], [[Kōji Nishino]], and [[Atsuko Nishida]] (Japanese)</ref><ref>''[https://www.siliconera.com/pikachu-originally-second-evolution-called-gorochu-large-fangs-two-horns/ Pikachu Originally Had A Second Evolution Called ‘Gorochu’ With Large Fangs And Two Horns]'' — SiliconEra</ref> [[Ken Sugimori]] stated that while there was nothing wrong with its appearance, it was nonetheless omitted from {{game|Red and Green|s}}, as the staff found that the game balance was better without it, and the limited game space meant that some Pokémon originally designed to evolve twice were changed to evolve only once.<ref name=Pokemon.com>[https://web.archive.org/web/20211108083831/https://www.pokemon.com/us/pokemon-news/creator-profile-the-creators-of-pikachu/ Creator Profile: The Creators of Pikachu - Pokemon.com] (archived)</ref>

===Origin===
Raichu's legs and long tail resemble those of a {{wp|jerboa}} or {{wp|kangaroo rat}}.

{{rf|Alolan}} Raichu may be based on the concept of [[surfing Pikachu]] and the sport of {{wp|surfing}} itself, which originated in and is the state sport of {{wp|Hawaii}} (the inspiration for the [[Alola]] [[region]]), as well as the [[wiktionary:hodad|hodad]] concept of being a fake surfer; ''hodad'' is referred to as another name for Alolan Raichu in its [[Pokédex]] entry in {{pkmn|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Pokémon Ultra Sun}}. Its design and {{t|Psychic}} type may have been influenced by [[Puka]], a surfing Pikachu that appeared in {{aniseries|PTS}} which had psychic powers and blue eyes. In the {{g|Stadium series}}, {{pkmn|Colosseum}}, {{XD}}, and {{pkmn|Battle Revolution}}, Raichu rides on its tail when using the move {{m|Surf}}.

According to [[Ken Sugimori]], he asked [[Atsuko Nishida]] to design Alolan Raichu since she was the one who had worked on the original Raichu design. Nishida insisted that Raichu "has always been cuter than people might think", and designed Alolan Raichu to emphasize Raichu's cuteness; in particular, she designed it with the motif of {{wp|bread}}. The in-game lore of people believing that its [[Evolution]] is induced by eating pancakes was added afterward to play up the concept.<ref name=USUM/> The fact that Alolan Raichu was designed after bread may have also inspired the sweet fragrance it can release from its cheeks, as well as the look of its paws which resemble {{wp|whipped cream}} decorations, {{wp|cream puff}}s, or ''{{wp|baozi}}''.

Both Mega Raichu X and Mega Raichu Y resemble their assigned letters, and also seem to take elements from {{p|Pikachu}}'s design, such as its color and the shape of its body and tail. Mega Raichu X takes after regular Raichu, with its color scheme and tail shape potentially being inspired by Pikachu. Mega Raichu Y appears to be the inverse, taking heavy inspiration from Pikachu,<ref>"It bears a distinctive resemblance to {{p|Pikachu}}." - [https://legends.pokemon.com/en-us/news/mega-dimension-hoopa The Mythical Pokémon Hoopa Holds the Key to the Story] {{g|Legends: Z-A}} official website</ref> while retaining the colors and tail shape of Raichu. Old media has also portrayed Pikachu as having a circular spot on its belly, a feature that Raichu has in all its [[form]]s. They could also be inspired by the scrapped Gorochu species, as Gorochu was described as having fangs and two horns; both Mega-Evolved forms of Raichu have fangs, and Mega Raichu Y is mentioned to have horn-like fur.

====Name origin====
Raichu may be a combination of 雷 ''rai'' (thunder) and チューチュー ''chūchū'' (onomatopoeia for the squeak of a mouse).

'''Arbok''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''アーボック''' ''Arbok'') is a {{type|Poison}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation I]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Ekans}} starting at [[level]] 22.

==Biology==
[[File:Arbok internal anatomy Adventures.png|thumb|left|250px|Internal anatomy of Arbok, as seen in ''[[PS014|That Awful Arbok!]]'']]
Arbok is a serpentine {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that resembles a {{wp|cobra}}. It has narrow eyes and several sharp teeth. Just below its head is a large hood with a face-like pattern. This pattern has over 20 possible variations. The pattern typically has two red and yellow eyespots outlined in black, a wide black streak resembling an upturned mouth, and a black V-shaped stripe above the eyespots.

Arbok is capable of crushing opponents by coiling its body around them and squeezing them tightly. It can even flatten steel oil drums. If it encounters an enemy, it raises its head, mimics, and stuns the opponent using the frightening pattern on its body. It can also make eerie sounds by expelling air from its mouth. [[Pokémon Adventures|It has been stated]] that if any part of Arbok's body except for the head is cut off, it can regrow the rest of its body again in a few weeks. It also can detect vibrations as shown in the ''[[Pokémon the Series]]'' episode ''[[EP128|The Whistle Stop]]''. The ''Pokémon the Series'' episode ''[[EP061|The Misty Mermaid]]'' shows that Arbok can spend long periods underwater and survive in aquatic environments. {{DL|Agatha|Pokémon Adventures|One particular Arbok}} could change its pattern at any time to increase power to different stats and get invulnerability to [[status condition]]s, if the pattern is uncovered.

Arbok is territorial. It lashes out at intruders with long fangs tipped with deadly venom. Vengeful in nature, it will not give up a chase once it targets its prey or an opponent, no matter how far. It makes its home in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Grassland Pokémon|grassy savannas and plains}}, but it can also be found in forests and desolate wastelands alongside its pre-evolved form {{p|Ekans}}. In the wild, it hunts smaller Pokémon such as {{p|Wooper}}, and also preys on {{p|Pidgey}} and {{p|Spearow}} Eggs. When hunting, it uses the pattern on its hood to immobilize prey, then constricts them, and finally poisons the target to finish them off and eat them. As shown in [[Pokémon Sleep]], Arbok is known to display its belly while sleeping. It is theorized that Arbok does this to scare other Pokémon away by showcasing its fearsome markings.

Before [[Generation II]], Arbok and its pre-evolved form, Ekans, were the [[signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Glare}}.

===Evolution===
Arbok evolves from {{p|Ekans}}.

==Trivia==
===Design variations===
{{main|Arbok variants}}
[[File:Game Boy music CD.png|thumb|200px|Arbok with a face pattern, as seen in the [[Game Boy: Entire Pokémon Sounds Collection CD]]]]
The face-like pattern on Arbok's chest differs between games. Its appearance in [[Generation I]], {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, and from [[Generation IV]] onward differs from the variants shown in [[Generation II]] and in {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}. This supports Pokédex text which notes differences between Arbok in different areas; however, its markings in [[Johto]]- and [[Hoenn]]-based remakes differ from those in the original games set in those regions.

Other media have featured additional variations. In [[Pokémon Adventures]], Arbok can change their own patterns, as done by [[Agatha]]'s Arbok. The {{TCG ID|Team Rocket|Dark Arbok|2}} card from the {{Trading Card Game}} depicts another pattern.

===Origin===
Arbok seems to be based on the {{wp|Indian cobra}} due to its {{wp|venom|venomous}} bite and hood markings. It may also be based on the {{wp|king cobra}}, which is the world's largest venomous snake. Its powerful {{wp|constriction}} is reminiscent of {{wp|boidae|boa}}s, {{wp|anaconda}}s, and {{wp|pythonidae|python}}s. Its frightening face-like belly patterns may be inspired by {{wp|mask}}s or {{wp|Body painting#Face painting|face paint}}. The fact that it is in the {{egg3|Dragon}} and its ability to learn {{m|Glare}} may be a reference to the legendary {{wp|basilisk}}, a venomous, serpentine dragon said to be able to kill people with its stare.

====Name origin====
Arbok is ''{{wp|cobra}}'' spelled backwards, but with the ''c'' replaced with a ''k''.<ref>[[The Official Pokémon Handbook]], p. 36</ref>

'''Beedrill''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''スピアー''' ''Spear'') is a dual-type {{2t|Bug|Poison}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation I]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Kakuna}} starting at [[level]] 10. It is the final form of {{p|Weedle}}.

Beedrill can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into '''Mega Beedrill''' using the [[Beedrillite]]. Mega Beedrill was introduced in {{g|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}.

==Biology==
Beedrill is an {{wp|insect}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} which mostly resembles a bipedal, yellow wasp; however, it only has four legs instead of six and lacks {{wp|Simple eye in invertebrates|pigment pits}}. Beedrill's head is round with a slightly pointed mouth, large, red eyes, and black antennae with a sharp bend in the middle. Its forelegs are tipped with long, conical stingers. It stands on its other two legs, which are long, segmented, and insectoid in shape. Beedrill has two pairs of rounded, veined wings and another stinger on its yellow-and-black striped abdomen. The abdominal stinger contains Beedrill's most potent poison.

Beedrill is highly territorial and, unlike real wasps and bees, Beedrill are not confirmed to live in true "hives", as they work together to solve basic problems regarding food, territory, and reproduction without any confirmation if there is a singular breeding pair or "Queen." As seen in the ''[[Pokémon the Series]]'' episode ''[[EP004|Challenge of the Samurai]]'', Beedrill seems to be especially concerned with the welfare of {{p|Weedle}} and {{p|Kakuna}}, responding aggressively to those that disturb them. Disturbing one Beedrill will cause the whole group to attack. It flies at high speed and attacks using the large venomous stingers on its forelegs and abdomen. It will then take the victims of its attacks back to its nest for food. Beedrill nests in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Forest Pokémon|temperate forests}} and misty wooded areas. It is known to collect pollen, which {{p|Teddiursa}} combines with fruits to concoct [[honey]]. In [[PS012|the twelfth chapter of Pokémon Adventures]], Beedrill is shown living in groups or packs and producing honey. Prior to [[Generation V]], {{m|Twineedle}} was its [[signature move]].

===Forms===
Beedrill can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into Mega Beedrill.

As Mega Beedrill, it gains more defined features. The antennae are shorter and T-shaped. Its eyes become longer and sleeker. It now has three pairs of wings; the uppermost pair is larger with black trim along the top. Its stingers become longer and larger, resembling lances. Additional conical, black-and-yellow stingers with white tips take the place of its legs. Its abdomen becomes larger, grooved, and is attached to its thorax by a black structure. A similar black structure connects its head and thorax. The stinger on its abdomen is now a pale yellow, with black stripes over its entire body.

Thanks to its six wings, Mega Beedrill can fly with great speed to quickly attack its enemies. Fast-acting poison is stored in the stingers on its limbs, while the tail stinger produces a slow-acting poison used to finish opponents. Mega Beedrill usually stabs its prey repeatedly with the leg stingers before using the tail stinger last. The instantaneous poisons are instead used to prevent the foe from fleeing.<ref name= "Mega">[https://web.archive.org/web/20141016185128/http://www.pokemonrubysapphire.com:80/en-us/pokemon/new-mega-evolutions/mega-beedrill Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire site | Mega Beedrill (archived)]</ref>

*{{TFG|Next Quest}}: {{TFG ID|Next Quest|Beedrill|26}}

==Other appearances==
===[[Super Smash Bros.]]===
Beedrill was in the first Super Smash Bros. game. When a {{i|Poké Ball}} was opened, one would come out and fly away. A few seconds later, a whole swarm would fly by and attack everyone on the field with {{m|Take Down}} except the user. Its role was taken over by {{p|Unown}} in [[Super Smash Bros. Melee]].

==Trivia==
* Beedrill's English name was [[Pokémon Red and Green beta#Pokémon names|originally]] going to be spelled ''Beedril''.
* Beedrill can be seen as a parallel to {{p|Butterfree}}. Both of their unevolved stages [[Evolution|evolve]] into their respective first evolutionary stages at level 7, which then evolve into their respective final forms at level 10. They both also go through metamorphosis-like Evolution and share a base stat total of 395. Also, while Beedrill is a version exclusive of Black and Black 2, Butterfree is exclusive to White and White 2. Both also have an alternate form only available in-battle (Mega Beedrill and Gigantamax Butterfree, respectively).
* In [[Pokémon Conquest]], Beedrill is the only Pokémon that is featured without its evolutionary relatives.
* Mega Beedrill has the highest base {{stat|Attack}} and {{stat|Speed}} stats of all {{type|Poison}} Pokémon. It also has the lowest base {{stat|Special Attack}} stat of all Poison-type Pokémon.
** Mega Beedrill and Mega [[Dragonite (Pokémon)|Dragonite]] are the only Pokémon to lower one of their base attacking stats when they undergo Mega Evolution.
* Beedrill and its pre-evolved form, {{p|Kakuna}}, are the only {{DL|List of Pokémon by color|yellow}} Poison-type Pokémon.

===Concept and development===
Beedrill and its pre-Evolutions were designed by [[Atsuko Nishida]].<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/19980121112202fw_/http://www.gamefreak.co.jp/POKEMON/INTER/ATSUKO/INTER_AT.HTM Interview with Atsuko Nishida on Game Freak's website]</ref>

[[Mega Evolution|Mega]] Beedrill was designed by [[Hitoshi Ariga]].<ref>[https://twitter.com/ariga_megamix/status/548085137955508224 Tweet by ありがひとし/ArigaHitoshi (@ariga_megamix).] Posted on December 25, 2014.</ref>

===Origin===
Beedrill seems to be based on a {{wp|bee}} or {{wp|wasp}}, possibly the {{wp|Apis cerana japonica|Japanese honey bee}}, {{wp|Asian giant hornet}}, or {{wp|yellowjacket}}. Its pointed arms resemble {{wp|spear}}s, while Mega Beedrill swaps them for {{wp|lance}}s. Its {{Shiny}} color scheme is similar to metallic green {{wp|Agapostemon|sweat bees}}.

Beedrill's parallels to {{p|Butterfree}} could possibly be a reference to the phrase "Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee", which was coined by American boxer {{wp|Muhammad Ali}}. This is further backed by the phrase being used in two episodes<ref>''[[AG061|Disaster of Disguise]]'' and ''[[BW106|Strong Strategy Steals the Show!]]''</ref> of the English [[dub]] of {{aniseries|PTS}} as "floating like a Butterfree and stinging like a Beedrill".

====Name origin====
Beedrill may be a combination of ''{{wp|bee}}'' and ''{{wp|drill}}''.

Spear is literally ''spear''. It may also be derived from アピス ''Apis'' (the genus name of the honey bee) spelled backwards.

It has a black nose, red eyes encircled by black markings, a brown blaze down the middle of its face, and rounded ears. On top of its head is a pair of curving black horns that extend over its back. It is covered in shaggy, brown fur that is darker across the back and lighter around the belly and legs. Around its neck is a thick, green leafy mane that extends down its back and ends in a short, bushy tail. The fur on its legs is shorter than the rest of its body; it is dark brown on the upper leg and white around the feet. Each foot ends in a cloven, brownish-orange hoof.

Gogoat has been domesticated by people since 5,000 years ago, and is often used for transport. Gogoat is known to have empathic abilities that allow them to sense the feelings of whoever grips its horns. It does this by sensing subtle changes to the grip, and this ability is so acute that it can move as if it and its rider were one being. In the wild, Gogoat lives in herds in mountainous regions. The leader of the herd is decided through battles with its horns. In [[Lumiose City]], Gogoat is used by people for transportation through a service called the ''Gogoat Shuttle''. This service ceased operations prior to the events of [[Pokémon Legends: Z-A]]. The main reason is the presence of wild Pokémon in the Wild Zone, which makes Gogoat scared. Currently, a man named Lugo is working to restart the Gogoat Shuttle business.

Gogoat and its pre-evolved form, {{p|Skiddo}}, are the [[Signature Ability|only known Pokémon]] that can have {{a|Grass Pelt}} as an [[Ability]]. In [[Generation IX]], {{m|Milk Drink}} is Gogoat's [[signature move]].

===Evolution===
Gogoat evolves from {{p|Skiddo}}.

Gogoat appears as a {{i|Poké Ball}} summon. When summoned, it charges around the stage with {{m|Take Down}}, and can be mounted by anyone.

Gogoat also appears as a trophy in both versions of the game.

====Trophy information====
''Lots of people in Lumiose City get around by riding on the backs of these Grass-type Pokémon. If you summon one during a fight, it'll run around the stage and charge at your opponents using Take Down. If you like, you can even jump on its back and get a lift around the stage from it!''

===[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]===
Gogoat returns as a Pokémon summoned from the Poké Ball, retaining the same behavior from the previous game.

==Trivia==
[[File:Shiny Gogoat Cropped.png|thumb|90px|Gogoat's original Shiny coloration.]]
* Gogoat and its pre-Evolution share their {{pkmn|category}} with {{p|Cyclizar}}. They are all known as the Mount Pokémon.
* Gogoat is the [[List of Pokémon with unique base stat totals|only Pokémon]] with a base stat total of 531.
* Gogoat has the highest base {{stat|HP}} stat of all {{type|Grass}} Pokémon.
* In [[Pokémon X and Y beta|pre-release footage]] shown in the E3 developer roundtable, Gogoat's {{Shiny}} form was shown. However, in the final release, its Shiny colors were changed drastically.

===Origin===
Gogoat is based on a {{wp|goat}}, possibly a {{wp|bharal}}, {{wp|Dwarf blue sheep|dwarf bharal}}, {{wp|Bilberry goat|bilberry}}, or {{wp|ibex}} due to its horns, though they also resemble the horns of various {{wp|gazelle}}s and {{wp|antelope}}s. It is also based on a {{wp|motorcycle}}, as it can be ridden and has {{wp|Motorcycle handlebar#Types of handlebar|beach bar}}-like horns. The grass that grows upon it may originate from {{wp|Pan (god)|Pan}} or {{wp|Faunus}}, gods of nature who are half-goat, half-human. The grass could also be a reference to the traditional {{wp|yule goat}} figures in northern Europe made of hay.

====Name origin====
Gogoat may be derived from ''go'', 轟轟 ''gōgō'' (rumbling), and ''goat''.

'''Dragonite''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''カイリュー''' ''Kairyu'') is a dual-type {{2t|Dragon|Flying}} [[pseudo-legendary Pokémon]] introduced in [[Generation I]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Dragonair}} starting at [[level]] 55. It is the final form of {{p|Dratini}}.

Dragonite can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into '''Mega Dragonite''' using the [[Dragoninite]]. Mega Dragonite was introduced in {{g|Legends: Z-A}}.

==Biology==
[[File:Dragon Fossil Adventures.png|thumb|left|230px|The skeleton of a Dragonite in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
Dragonite is a {{wp|dragon|draconic}}, bipedal {{wp|reptile|reptilian}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with light orange skin. It has large, grayish-green eyes and a round snout with small nostrils. A pair of long, thin antennae sprout from the top of its head with a small horn set between them. Its striated underbelly is cream-colored and extends from its neck to the tip of its long, tapering tail. It has thick arms and legs ending in three claws each. The leg joints are well defined, while its arms have a smooth, rounded appearance. Dragonite's wings are small relative to its body with teal wing membranes. As mentioned in {{g|Sleep}}, Dragonite is known to sleep soundly while displaying its belly.<ref>[[Sleep style|Sleep Style Dex]]</ref> This rare sight is said to be an exhausted Dragonite resting after flying over the vast seas.

Despite its bulky build, Dragonite is capable of flying faster than the speed of sound, being able to circle the globe in sixteen hours. A kind-hearted Pokémon with human-like intelligence, Dragonite shows signs of altruism: it is said to save humans from drowning and lead lost or foundering ships to safety. As demonstrated in ''[[EP253|Great Bowls of Fire!]]'', however, it will go on an uncontrollable, destructive rampage if its environment is threatened. Dragonite will usually calm down and be satisfied after smashing down anything that has angered it to smithereens. It is known to engage in fierce battles with {{p|Kingdra}} whenever they meet. Dragonite has been referred to as the "sea guardian" and the "Sea Incarnate"; as such, there are many ships with figureheads decorated with Dragonite's look. [[Drayden]] stated in ''[[JN065|Thrash of the Titans!]]'' that Dragonite's power is capable of affecting the weather. In [[Fiore]], Dragonite used by {{OBP|Pokémon Ranger|Ranger series}}s to travel to different areas in the region, this flying service is called the ''Dragonite Bus''. Dragonite is very rare in the wild, typically {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Water's-edge Pokémon|living near the sea}}. Some claim that there is [[Dragonite Island|an island]] somewhere in the ocean that only Dragonite inhabit.

In [[Generation II]], Dragonite and its pre-evolved forms were the [[Signature Ability|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Outrage}}, but other Pokémon could still inherit it via {{pkmn|breeding}}.

===Forms===
[[File:Ult Mega Dragonite Hyper Beam.png|thumb|right|250px|Mega Dragonite firing a {{m|Hyper Beam}} from the pearl near the tip of its tail]]
Dragonite can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into Mega Dragonite.

As Mega Dragonite, it gains features that are distinctive of {{p|Dragonair}}.<ref name=ZAsite/> Dragonite's antennae grows into large feathery wings on its head, which are light tan in color with white tips. These head wings function as feelers, while also allowing Mega Dragonite to fly.<ref name=ZAsite/> Conversely, the wings on its back have shrunk and become purely teal. Feathery wing-like structures also sprout from Mega Dragonite's shoulders and legs. Mega Dragonite's tail is longer and has a multi-colored pearl near the tip; this pearl glows when Mega Dragonite performs certain attacks. Mega Dragonite's horn is white and now located on its forehead, and it has teal-green eyes. Its cream-colored underbelly no longer extends to its tail, and the numerous straight lines segmenting it are replaced with only five V-shaped ones.

Mega Dragonite's speed and strength have increased significantly from its regular form, but the process of Mega Evolution has also deluged its kindness and helpful nature. Its merciful nature makes it prefer to end matches quickly, smiling as it attacks its opponents with powerful techniques. Likewise, it will rush to help someone it senses to be in trouble, even while it is battling.<ref name=ZAsite>[https://legends.pokemon.com/en-us/story-world/pokemon/mega-dragonite Pokémon Legends: Z-A | Mega Dragonite] — Pokémon Official Website</ref> As seen in the {{aniseries|HZ}} episode [[HZ107]], Mega Dragonite can fire moves like {{m|Hyper Beam}} from the pearl near the tip of its tail. According to the [[Mega Nidothing's Mega Mega! Mega Evolution]] short in [[HZ111]], Mega Dragonite possesses the power to blast through mountains, causing significant destruction in the process.

====Trophy information====
'''NA:''' ''Dragonite are known for their helpfulness toward people at sea, searching for drowning sailors or leading lost ships back to shore. This is probably why so many are quick to praise Dragonite for their kindness! In battle, though, Dragonite uses its strong body combined with quick moves. Don't worry - win or lose, it'll be friendly when the battle is over.''

'''PAL:''' ''A benevolent Pokémon said to search the ocean for drowning swimmers and guide damaged ships to shore. Because of this, many people venerate Dragonite as a guardian of the sea. In battle, on the other hand, it's a fearsome foe, soaring rapidly through the air to deliver incredible attacks. Let's be thankful it's usually friendly.''

"Dragonite is Moomins") is a meme among Chinese fans, and was even shown on the side of the {{wp|Taipei 101}} during the 2023-24 New Year's Countdown in Taiwan.<ref>(January 3, 2024). "[https://tech.udn.com/tech/story/123154/7680001 影／寶可夢快龍獲「台灣最高認證」！台北101外牆1句話讓網笑翻：新年就被臭]." 科技玩家 (Tech.UDN.com)</ref>

===Origin===
Dragonite resembles a classic {{wp|European dragon}}. Its description as the "guardian of the sea" may also suggest it has elements similar to the {{wp|Chinese dragon|Chinese}} and {{wp|Japanese dragon}}s.

Dragonite’s evolutionary line may have been inspired by the life cycle of Chinese dragons described in the Shi Yi Ji: “A water snake (shui hui, 水虺) after five hundred years transforms into a jiao (蛟); a jiao, after a thousand years, becomes a {{wp|Chinese dragon|long}} (龍); a long, after five hundred years, becomes a jiaolong (角龍, ‘horned dragon’); and after a thousand years, it transforms into a {{wp|yinglong}} (應龍).”<ref>[https://archive.org/details/cu31924021444728/page/2/mode/2up Visser, Marinus Willern de (1913). The Dragon in China and Japan. p.72]</ref> In this context, Dragonite may have been inspired by the Yinglong, a winged dragon and rain deity from ancient Chinese mythology, regarded as the final stage in the evolution of dragons.<ref>[https://zh.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E6%87%89%E9%BE%8D#%E6%9C%80%E7%BB%88%E4%B9%8B%E9%BE%99 最终之龙]</ref> The Yinglong, symbolizing both the sea and war, was depicted as an emblem on the flag of the former Coast Guard Command<ref>[https://zh.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E6%B5%B7%E5%B2%B8%E5%B7%A1%E9%98%B2%E5%8F%B8%E4%BB%A4%E9%83%A8#/media/File:Republic_of_China_Coast_Guard_(ROCCG)_Flag.svg ROCCGC Flag]</ref> of the {{wp|Taiwan (Republic of China)}} and is currently featured on the flag of the {{wp|Coast Guard Administration}}.<ref>[https://zh.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E6%87%89%E9%BE%8D#%E6%A8%99%E8%AA%8C 標誌]</ref> This symbolic association may have influenced the descriptions of Dragonite in its Pokédex entries.

Mega Dragonite's design incorporates features from its pre-Evolution {{p|Dragonair}}, namely the head wings and the pearl on its tail.<ref name=ZAsite/> Its Shiny coloration also resembles Dragonair's standard colors. Its design may also invoke {{wp|angel}}s — the six wings Mega Dragonite gains upon Mega Evolving may reference the {{wp|seraph}}im, a type of angel described in the Christian Bible to have six wings, with two wings covering its face and two wings covering its feet.

====Name origin====
Dragonite may be a combination of ''{{wp|dragon}}'' and ''{{wp|knight}}'', ''night'', or ''draconite'' (a mythical stone said to be found in the heads of dragons and are pyramidal in shape, similar to Dragonite's horn).

Kairyu may be derived from 海竜 ''kairyū'' (sea dragon). It may also involve 怪獣 ''kaijū'' (monster), 快 ''kai'' (cheerful), and 破壊 ''hakai'' (destruction).

'''Greninja''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ゲッコウガ''' ''Gekkouga'') is a dual-type {{2t|Water|Dark}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation VI]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Frogadier}} starting at [[level]] 36. It is the final form of {{p|Froakie}}.

Greninja with the [[Ability]] {{a|Battle Bond}} are treated internally as a [[#Form data|distinct form]]. Battle Bond activates upon defeating an opponent: in [[Generation VII]], it allows Greninja to change into a special form known as '''Ash-Greninja'''; however, following the removal of Ash-Greninja in [[Generation IX]], it was reworked to instead increase Greninja's [[stat]]s.

Greninja can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into '''Mega Greninja''' using the [[Greninjite]]. Mega Greninja was introduced in [[Pokémon Legends: Z-A]].

(Refer to [[#Form data|Game data→Form data]] for more details.)

==Biology==
Greninja is a bipedal, {{wp|frog}}-like {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. It is mostly dark blue with a yellow chest and abdomen, a white triangular marking over each eye, a light blue four-pointed star on each thigh, and yellow on the lower half of its face. It has red eyes with white pupils and its mouth is hidden behind a large, pink tongue that wraps around its neck and extends outward behind its head. Running down the middle of its head is a fin-like extension, and there is a similar fin on each side of its head. Light blue webbing connects its head fins. There is a large, white bubble-like bump on each elbow and knee. Its back feet have two toes, while its front feet have three toes. Each digit has a bulbous tip and yellow webbing.

Greninja's movements are swift, rapid, and graceful, akin to those of a ninja.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20160224014849/http://www.pokemonxy.com/en-us/pokemon/starters/ Starter Pokémon (Archived)]</ref> It uses this speed to confound enemies while slicing them up. It can compress water into various weapons to slice up enemies, most commonly in the form of {{m|Water Shuriken|water shurikens}}, and has additionally been shown creating water katana and water kunai in both the {{pkmn|animated series}} and the [[Super Smash Bros. series|Super Smash Bros.]] video game series. It can also create shuriken from the mucus it excretes from its thighs for sharp projectiles that can split through metal. As seen in the animated series, Greninja's tongue is extremely long and many times its own height, and strong enough to catch and hold an average human. However, it usually keeps its tongue wrapped around its neck like a scarf. Doing so exposes its tongue to air movements, allowing Greninja to detect enemies it otherwise could not see.

In [[Generation VI]], {{m|Mat Block}} was its [[signature move]]. In [[Generation IX]], {{m|Water Shuriken}} is its signature move.

===Forms===
Greninja has two alternate forms: Ash-Greninja and Mega Greninja.

;Ash-Greninja
[[File:Ash Greninja SM concept art.jpg|thumb|left|220px|Concept art of Ash-Greninja from {{g|Sun and Moon}}]]
As Ash-Greninja, its appearance has changed in order to more closely resemble [[Ash Ketchum]], specifically in his {{aniseries|XY}} outfit. Its skin is now a lighter shade of blue, and the yellow on its chest and abdomen has been reduced to a much smaller area. The fin-like extension on top of its head and the area between its eyes have turned red. The outer part of its side fins has turned black, as well as its cheeks, which now also puff out, resembling tufts of hair with a small, thunderbolt-shaped red streak. It now has a four-pointed star mark on its back as well, from where it creates large water shurikens. Unlike regular Greninja, Ash-Greninja is most commonly seen standing up and is always [[gender|male]].

Through an occurrence called the [[Bond Phenomenon]], brought on by the bonds between people and Pokémon, certain Greninja, such as [[Ash's Greninja]] in {{aniseries|PTS}}, can tap into a miraculous source of power in battles where they need to break their limits, something that has only been known to occur once several hundred years ago. Ash-Greninja's legs have strengthened, increasing its speed to a point where it moves so quickly that it becomes difficult to see and able to dispatch opponents in a flash.<ref>[http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon/ash-greninja/ Ash-Greninja – Pokémon Sun and Moon] ([https://web.archive.org/web/20171023143056mp_/http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon/ash-greninja/ archived])]</ref> As seen in the {{pkmn|animated series}}, the large water shuriken on its back is the symbol of a perfect transformation; before this state is reached, Ash-Greninja is covered in a turbulent veil of water.

Ash-Greninja is the [[Signature Ability|only known Pokémon]] that can have {{a|Battle Bond}} as an [[Ability]].

;Mega Greninja
[[File:Mega Greninja large Water Shuriken.jpg|250px|thumb|left|Mega Greninja using its giant Water Shuriken]]
As Mega Greninja, its body is now mostly black, except for its lower legs, upper arms, and hands, which retain the same color, making it appear as though it is wearing a ninja outfit. The fins on either side of its head have extended outward and turned light blue, resembling shuriken with one edge much longer than the others. The four-pointed star marks it had on its thighs have been replaced by actual water shurikens. Mega Greninja clings upside down to a giant, floating, and continually spinning six-pointed water shuriken it created from a gelatinous membrane secreted from its body. The shuriken levitates due to its high spinning speed.

[[Mega Evolution]] has significantly enhanced Mega Greninja's reflexes; as a result, it has forgone stealth, showcasing the confidence it has on its capabilities. By intentionally revealing itself, it provokes opponents into attacking, and its sharp reflexes enable it to both react accordingly and strike first. The mere sight of Mega Greninja clinging to its giant water shuriken is able to distract opponents, allowing it to preemptively render them unable to attack by binding them with its long tongue. Once its opponents are immobilized, Mega Greninja charges at them to strike with its massive shuriken.<ref>[https://legends.pokemon.com/en-us/story-world/pokemon/mega-greninja Mega Greninja | Pokémon Legends: Z-A]</ref>

====Ash-Greninja====
In the [[S19|''XY&Z'' arc]] of {{aniseries|XY}}, [[Ash's Greninja]] gained the ability to transform into a stronger form known as Ash-Greninja through an occurrence referred to as the [[Bond Phenomenon]]. This form was introduced to the [[core series]] games in {{g|Sun and Moon}}.

In the [[Generation VII]] games, a Greninja with the Ability {{a|Battle Bond}} will transform into Ash-Greninja after it directly causes an opponent to [[fainting|faint]] without ending the battle. It will remain in this form until either it faints or the battle ends; in the former case, this prevents it from changing back into Ash-Greninja for the remainder of the battle. Ash-Greninja has different [[base stats]] than regular Greninja, with increased {{stat|Attack}}, {{stat|Special Attack}}, and {{stat|Speed}}. Additionally, the [[move]] {{m|Water Shuriken}} will be more [[power]]ful, having 20 power instead of 15, and will always hit 3 times, instead of varying between 2-5 hits. Greninja cannot transform into Ash-Greninja in the core series as of {{g|Scarlet and Violet|s}} due to Battle Bond's effect having been changed.

Internally, standard Greninja with Battle Bond are considered to be a separate form to Greninja with {{a|Torrent}} or {{a|Protean}}. These Greninja are always [[gender|male]], cannot {{pkmn|breeding|breed}}, and, like [[Special Pokémon]], are banned from the [[Battle Spot]]. A Greninja with Battle Bond can be transferred to Pokémon Sun and Moon from the [[Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon Special Demo Version|Special Demo Version]]. This is the only way to obtain it, so it is no longer obtainable for players who did not download the demo before the discontinuation of the [[Nintendo 3DS|3DS]] [[Nintendo eShop]] on March 27, 2023.

==Trivia==
* Greninja is the only fully [[Evolution|evolved]] form of a [[first partner Pokémon]] that has an {{pkmn2|event}}-exclusive [[Ability]], that being {{a|Battle Bond}}.
* Greninja is the only fully-evolved first partner {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} to have a unique transformation that is not a [[Mega Evolution]], [[Gigantamax]] form, or [[regional form]], that being Ash-Greninja.
* Greninja and its pre-evolved forms are the only Water-type first partner Pokémon line to be exclusive to the {{egg|Water 1}} [[Egg Group]].
* Greninja shares its {{pkmn|category}} with {{p|Ninjask}}. They are both known as the Ninja Pokémon.
* Greninja won first place in the Japanese [http://www.pokemon-movie.jp/election/ Pokémon general election 720] (Japanese: '''ポケモン総選挙720''') poll to decide what Pokémon would be distributed at showings of ''[[M19|Volcanion and the Mechanical Marvel]]'' in Japan.
* It was revealed that Greninja was added into [[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U]] before [[Pokémon X and Y]] was even released. [[Masahiro Sakurai]] knew that a [[Generation VI]] Pokémon was going to be a playable fighter in that game, so when Greninja was decided, all they had to go on in terms of design was concept art, similar to {{few|Roy}} during the development of [[Super Smash Bros. Melee]].<ref>[http://www.siliconera.com/2014/06/10/super-smash-bros-characters-decided-upon-early-development/ All The Super Smash Bros. Characters Were Decided Upon Early In Development | Siliconera]</ref>
* In the [[Pokémon of the Year]] vote held by [[The Pokémon Company International]] and {{wp|Google}} in February 2020, Greninja won first place with 140,559 votes and beat {{p|Lucario}} at second place (102,259 votes) and {{p|Mimikyu}} at third (99,077 votes).
* Greninja is the only Pokémon playable in [[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]] that is unavailable in a [[Generation VIII]] [[core series]] game.
** Greninja's appearance in Ultimate was its only appearance in a [[Nintendo Switch]] game until [[Pokémon UNITE]]'s release in 2021.
* Ash-Greninja is the only Pokémon to have no viewable [[Pokédex entry|Pokédex entries]] in {{g|HOME}}'s {{OBP|Pokédex|HOME}}.
** Because all forms prior to [[Generation VII]] shared entries with their original appearance, and due to Greninja not being in any [[regional Pokédex]] at all, Ash-Greninja is the only Pokémon to not have a Pokédex entry in any capacity.
* Mega {{p|Raichu}} X and Y, Mega Greninja, Mega {{p|Chesnaught}}, and Mega {{p|Delphox}} were the last Mega Evolutions revealed before the release of {{g|Legends Z-A}}.
* Mega Greninja has the highest base {{stat|Speed}} stat of all {{t|Water}}- and {{type|Dark}} Pokémon.

Greninja's overall appearance is based on a frog,<ref>[http://www.officialnintendomagazine.co.uk/55933/features/interview-game-freak-on-the-origins-of-pokmon-x-y/ Official Nintendo Magazine - Interview: Game Freak on the origins of Pokémon X & Y] ([https://web.archive.org/web/20141007232727/http://www.officialnintendomagazine.co.uk/55933/features/interview-game-freak-on-the-origins-of-pokmon-x-y/ archived])</ref> and it may have been inspired by horned frogs from the {{wp|Genus|genera}} ''{{wp|Megophrys}}'' and ''{{wp|Ceratophrys}}'' due to the spiked protrusions above its eyes. Its color scheme and body shape is similar to that of the {{wp|splendid leaf frog}}. The bubble-like protrusions on its body may be based on a toad's {{wp|parotoid gland}}s, possibly referencing the traditional myth of {{wp|True toad|toads}} causing {{wp|wart}}s, though they may also be remnants of Froakie and Frogadier's frubbles.

As its species name implies, Greninja is also based on a {{wp|ninja}}. Japanese culture associates frogs and toads with ninjas based on the folk story ''The Tale of the Gallant {{wp|Jiraiya}}'' (Japanese: 児雷也豪傑物語 ''Jiraiya Gōketsu Monogatari''), about a ninja who can shapeshift into a large toad. Greninja and its pre-Evolutions may also draw inspiration from the thief or rogue {{wp|character class}} in {{wp|role-playing game}}s, which are generally ranged combatants that often rely on speed and stealth, focusing more on dodging attacks rather than withstanding damage.

Ash-Greninja's appearance is based on [[Ash Ketchum]]'s attire in {{aniseries|XY}} and his hair. It wears a {{wp|shuriken}} (ninja star) on its back made out of water.

Mega Greninja's black coloring may be based on the archetypal ninja outfit. Its habit of standing underneath a large water shuriken may draw from the ninja's supposed ability to impossibly walk and hang from surfaces, such as ceilings. It is also reminiscent of a frog on a {{wp|Nymphaeaceae|lily pad}}. Its large water shuriken may also be a reference to Ash-Greninja's giant {{m|Water Shuriken}} in the anime.

====Name origin====
Greninja may be a combination of ''grenouille'' (French for frog) and ''ninja''.

Gekkouga may be a combination of げこっ ''geko'' (croak) or 月光 ''gekkō'' (moonlight, in reference to a popular conception of ninja running through the night or to Greninja's {{t|Dark}} type) and 甲賀流 ''{{wp|Kōga-ryū}}''.

'''Delphox''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''マフォクシー''' ''Mahoxy'') is a dual-type {{2t|Fire|Psychic}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation VI]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Braixen}} starting at [[level]] 36. It is the final form of {{p|Fennekin}}.

Delphox can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into '''Mega Delphox''' using the [[Delphoxite]]. Mega Delphox was introduced in [[Pokémon Legends: Z-A]].

==Biology==
Delphox is a bipedal, fox-like {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. It is covered in a coat of long fur that resembles a robe. This "robe" is primarily dark red with red-orange, flame-like markings near its knees. There is also a thin tuft of white fur on its torso, which is flanked by yellow fur draping down from its shoulders. Its forearms feature long red fur resembling sleeves, and its hands and feet are dark gray with three clawed fingers and toes, respectively. A tail covered in yellow fur protrudes from its "robe". Its head is yellow with longer white fur on its cheeks. It has red eyes and a slender snout with a pinkish nose. Three tufts of red-orange fur protrude out of each ear. When its mouth is open, two pointed teeth can be seen on its upper jaw.

Delphox carries a stick that it uses like a magic wand. When in use, the tip is set alight, and when not in use, the stick is hidden away in its sleeve-like fur. Delphox gazes into the flame at the tip of its wand to achieve a focused state of mind that allows it to see into the future. It can use its psychic power to ensnare its enemies in a fiery vortex capable of reaching 5,400 degrees Fahrenheit (3,000 degrees Celsius).<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20160224014849/http://www.pokemonxy.com/en-us/pokemon/starters/ Starter Pokémon (Archived)]</ref> Delphox uses the stick to leave burn marks on the ground. In ancient times, people used the shapes of Delphox's burn marks for divination.

===Forms===
Delphox can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into Mega Delphox.

As Mega Delphox, it more closely resembles a stereotypical witch on a broomstick. The ends of the flame-like fur in its ears have become darker, in addition to two long strips of black fur extending from the back of its head. The red fur of its "robe" and "sleeves" also take on a black gradient. The white fur on its chest and underside of its face have lengthened, resembling a long beard, while the yellow fur flanking its chest has receded. It sports a patch of flame-shaped red-orange fur on its forehead. Mega Delphox rides a large "broomstick", with a mass of flames serving as the broom's "head". It is flanked by two smaller flame-ended broomsticks that resemble a regular Delphox's fiery wand.

[[Mega Evolution]] has enhanced Mega Delphox's psychic abilities. Its fighting style consists of disorienting onlookers with its magic all the while remaining calm and collected, enabling it to deliver precise blows to dazzled opponents. The two lit branches that float beside it move by their own as if they were alive, but can be skillfully controlled by Mega Delphox, allowing it to coordinate moves with them and even combine their flames to the ones it spits from its mouth into a massive, all-consuming fireball.<ref>[https://legends.pokemon.com/en-us/story-world/pokemon/mega-delphox Mega Delphox – Pokémon Legends: Z-A]</ref>

===Major appearances===
====[[Aria's Delphox]]====
{{an|Aria}}'s Braixen was revealed to have evolved into a Delphox sometime before ''[[XY064|Battling with Elegance and a Big Smile!]]''. She is her main Pokémon, and she helped her keep the title of {{DL|Pokémon Performer|Kalos Queen}} with her performance in the {{ci|Gloire}} {{pkmn|Showcase}} Master Class.

====[[Serena's Delphox]]====
Serena's Braixen was revealed to have evolved into a Delphox in ''[[JN105|Reuniting for the First Time!]]''.

====Other====
Delphox debuted in ''[[XY015|An Appetite for Battle!]]'', under the ownership of [[Wylie]]. It was sent out to battle {{TP|Clemont|Chespin}} in order to settle a quarrel with {{OBP|Carrie|XY015}}, but the {{pkmn|battle}} ultimately ended in a draw.

A Delphox appeared in ''[[M17|Diancie and the Cocoon of Destruction]]'', under the ownership of [[Merilyn]]. It is her main Pokémon, used to assist her in her thievery.

[[Serena's Braixen]] appeared as Delphox in a dream in ''[[XY098|Dream a Little Dream from Me!]]''.

===Minor appearances===
A Delphox appeared in the opening sequence of ''[[M19|Volcanion and the Mechanical Marvel]]'', when it evolved from Fennekin and Braixen.

==Trivia==
* Delphox is the only {{type|Psychic}} [[first partner Pokémon]].
* In English, the {{pkmn|category}} "Fox Pokémon" is shared by {{p|Vulpix}}, {{p|Fennekin}}, {{p|Nickit}}, and their [[Evolution]]s.
** In Japanese, the hiragana category "きつねポケモン" (''Fox Pokémon'') is shared by the evolutionary lines of Vulpix and Nickit, while the katakana version "キツネポケモン" (''Fox Pokémon'') is shared by Fennekin and its Evolutions.
* Mega Delphox, Mega Chesnaught, and Mega Greninja were the last Mega Evolutions revealed before the release of {{g|Legends Z-A}}, along with Mega Raichu X and Mega Raichu Y.

===Origin===
Delphox's [[List of Pokémon by evolutionary line|evolutionary line]] is based on a fox,<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20141007232727/http://www.officialnintendomagazine.co.uk/55933/features/interview-game-freak-on-the-origins-of-pokmon-x-y/ Official Nintendo Magazine - Interview: Game Freak on the origins of Pokémon X & Y (Archived)]</ref> specifically resembling the {{wp|fennec fox}}. It also shares characteristics with {{wp|kitsune}} and {{wp|Asian witchcraft#Japan|kitsune-mochi}}, {{wp|Witchcraft|witches}} in Japanese folklore that inherit their powers from foxes. Additionally, the wand-like branch it utilizes for battles is likely a reference to {{wp|European witchcraft}} and robe-like fur and 'sleeves' derived from {{wp|Magic (supernatural)#Magicians|mages}}, while its prophetic abilities may be based on {{wp|oracles}}. Delphox and its pre-Evolutions may also draw inspiration from the mage {{wp|character class}} in {{wp|role-playing game}}s, which uses various powerful magical spells to attack their opponents, while sacrificing brute physical strength.

Its witch-like characteristics and appearance, along with its {{t|Fire}} typing, are possible references to common {{wp|witch-hunt}}s that involved burning a victim for the accused practice of witchcraft.

Besides witches, Mega Delphox also appears to take inspiration from the general imagery of wizards with its long beard. The fire branch it rides upon is reminiscent of a {{wp|Besom#Besoms_and_flying_ointments_in_early_modern_witchcraft|flying broomstick}}.

====Name origin====
Delphox may be a combination of ''{{wp|Pythia|Delphic oracle}}'' and ''fox''.

Mahoxy may be a combination of 魔導師 ''madōshi'' (mage), 魔法 ''mahō'' (magic), ''fox'', and ''foxy''.

'''Chesnaught''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ブリガロン''' ''Brigarron'') is a dual-type {{2t|Grass|Fighting}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation VI]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Quilladin}} starting at level 36. It is the final form of {{p|Chespin}}.

Chesnaught can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into '''Mega Chesnaught''' using the [[Chesnaughtite]]. Mega Chesnaught was introduced in [[Pokémon Legends: Z-A]].

==Biology==
[[File:Chesnaught Hands animated.png|thumb|left|Chesnaught bringing its arms together]]
Chesnaught is a bipedal, mammalian {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with some plantlike features. There is fluffy white fur on its belly and fringing its face like a beard. It has a small, pink nose with a three-pointed patch of brown fur extending up its short snout and four pointed teeth. On top of its head is a plate of beige armor, similar to a helmet. It possesses a prominent domed, armor-like shell similar to that of a chestnut. The armor is beige with four large spines jutting out of the back. The armor is trimmed with red and green bands; the green is on the outermost edge. There is an additional spine protruding from the armor over each of Chesnaught's shoulders, which are connected by a green breastplate. Its body is colored similarly to the shell, and its long limbs and tail are banded with plates of armor. The top surfaces of the tail and arms are protected by green armor, and each arm has two small spines. It has three brown, clawed digits on its hands and feet. Its arms can be brought together to create a spike-covered, shield-like formation.

Chesnaught is renowned for its tank-like body; it is capable of flipping a 50-ton truck. Once it gets into its defensive stance with its hands covering its face, it can {{a|Bulletproof|resist a bomb's explosion}}. It will not hesitate to use its sturdy body to shield its allies from danger. While Chesnaught is normally gentle and prefers avoiding conflict, it will not hesitate to give opponents a thrashing with its thorned fists when driven to.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20160224014849/http://www.pokemonxy.com/en-us/pokemon/starters/ Starter Pokémon (Archived)]</ref>

Prior to [[Generation VII]], Chesnaught and its pre-evolved forms were the [[Signature Ability|only known Pokémon]] that could have {{a|Bulletproof}} as an [[Ability]].

===Forms===
[[File:Mega Chesnaught Shell Axe.png|thumb|left|200px|Mega Chesnaught using its shell extension as a battle axe]]
Chesnaught can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into Mega Chesnaught.

As Mega Chesnaught, it more greatly resembles an armored warrior, and its torso is now completely covered in white fur. Its claws are now colored gold, matching a three-pronged, crown-like adornment on its head, with three black indentations. The armored plate covering its head has extended slightly downward to better resemble a helmet. The green and red bands on its shell have changed to a dark maroon color, matching a cape-like extension of fur underneath. The front connecting piece of its shell armor is now shaped like a spade and more beveled. Along with its front spines and arm spines, the latter of which have fully extended into sharp spikes, it is now a dark green color. Its shell also stores two shield-like extensions on the sides. Each extension has two spikes opposite each other on the rim, along with multiple green circular portions that can also extend into spikes, as well as a smaller spike on the top center of the extension. Mega Chesnaught can use its shell extensions like a battle axe.

Mega Chesnaught's outer shell and body experience a significant increase in defensive capabilities due to [[Mega Evolution]]. The fur on its body has grown to the extent that it functions as an impact-absorbing cloak. With newfound confidence in its ability to withstand any attacks, Mega Chesnaught exhibits a steadfast spirit and a level-headed personality. Its shield-like shoulder armor can transform into destructive weapons. When it removes a piece of its incredibly tough shoulder armor, spikes extend from the shield to form an axe-like weapon with a long handle. The axe head is so heavy that even Mega Chesnaught’s brute strength can't easily wield it with one hand. However, gripping it with both hands allows Mega Chesnaught to use this weapon with precision to overpower its foes.<ref>[https://legends.pokemon.com/en-us/story-world/pokemon/mega-chesnaught Mega Chesnaught – Pokémon Legends: Z-A]</ref>

==Trivia==
* Chesnaught has the highest Defense stat among all fully evolved [[first partner Pokémon]], excluding [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolutions]].
*Mega Chesnaught has the highest {{stat|Defense}} stat of all {{type|Grass}} and {{type|Fighting}} Pokémon.
* Mega Chesnaught, Mega {{p|Delphox}}, and Mega {{p|Greninja}} were the last Mega Evolutions revealed before the release of {{g|Legends Z-A}}, along with Mega {{p|Raichu}} X and Mega Raichu Y.

===Origin===
Chesnaught seems to be based on a {{wp|hedgehog}} combined with a matured {{wp|chestnut}}. It may also draw inspiration from "armored" mammals such as {{wp|pangolins}}, {{wp|armadillos}}, and {{wp|glyptodonts}}, with its pale-colored armor, red nose and white hair specially resembling a {{wp|three-banded armadillo}}. Its bulky "armor" is possibly a reference to split apart {{wp|calybium and cupule}}, which are parts that protect the nuts of chestnut trees which split apart when sufficiently ripened. It is also based on {{wp|knight}}s and various types of body {{wp|armor}}, including {{wp|brigandine}}s, {{wp|barbute}}s, and modern {{wp|bomb suit}}s. Chesnaught and its pre-Evolutions may also draw inspiration from the fighter or warrior {{wp|character class}} in {{wp|role-playing game}}s, which specializes in physical combat and generally has high defense, while lacking in magical capabilities.

Mega Chesnaught appears to be based on the general imagery of {{wp|king}}s, with the crown-like protrusion on its head and the red cape. The way its fur overlaps on its chest resembles {{wp|scale armour}}.

====Name origin====
Chesnaught may be a combination of ''chestnut'' and ''{{wp|juggernaut}}'', ''knight'', or ''[[wiktionary:dreadnought|dreadnought]]''.

Brigarron may be a combination of ''{{wp|brigandine}}'' and ''marron'' (French for chestnut).

'''Feraligatr''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''オーダイル''' ''Ordile'') is a {{type|Water}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation II]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Croconaw}} starting at [[level]] 30. It is the final form of {{p|Totodile}}.

Feraligatr can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into '''Mega Feraligatr''' using the [[Feraligite]]. Mega Feraligatr was introduced in [[Pokémon Legends: Z-A]].

==Biology==
[[File:Sleep Style 0160-1.png|thumb|left|200px|Feraligatr sleeps with one eye open]]
Feraligatr is a bulky, bipedal, {{wp|Crocodylia|crocodilian}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with blue scales. It has large, powerful jaws lined with several sharp fangs. Three teeth are visible when its jaws are closed: two in its lower jaw and one in its upper jaw. Its eyes are red with black markings around them and ridges above them and its lower jaw is yellow. There are three red spines on its body, each with three points: one on top of its head, one between its shoulders, and one near the tip of its tail. There are also several groups of large, rectangular scales on its arms, knees, tail, and waist. Its back is slightly hunched with ridges behind the shoulders and hips. On its lower body is a yellow, V-shaped marking that extends up to its thighs; there is a thin line through the center of the marking. Its arms have five clawed fingers each, and its feet three clawed toes.

Feraligatr opens its powerful jaws to intimidate its foes and viciously shakes its head once it clamps down on foes or prey. Because it has difficulty supporting its weight out of the water, it has been known to move on all fours. However, when hunting or fighting, it is agile and fast, due to its powerful hind legs. Feraligatr can rarely be found living near {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Water's-edge Pokémon|the water's edge}}. As shown in [[Pokémon Sleep]], Feraligatr and its pre-Evolutions are known to sleep with one eye open and rest only half of its brain at a time — a practice known as {{wp|Unihemispheric slow-wave sleep|unihemispheric sleep}}. As Feraligatr sleeps, it constantly keeps watch on its surroundings; it will immediately charge towards threats should it sense any.
{{left clear}}
===Forms===
Feraligatr can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into Mega Feraligatr.

Mega Feraligatr's back spikes transform into an enormous, hood-like, dark red fin; this fin has serrated edges and two false eyes on either of its sides. The false eyes are red with black "sclerae" debossed into the surface; the centers of the false eyes glow white when Mega Feraligatr brings down its hood fin. Mega Feraligatr also gains stubby red arm-like fins on the sides of its body, a smaller back spike behind its hood fin, and two red ridge lines on either side of the back spike. Mega Feraligatr has three dark red spikes on each of its arms, covering its rectangular scales. The uncovered rectangular scales on Mega Feraligatr's shoulders and knees, along with its lower body and three-clawed toes, turn a blue-gray color. The V-shaped marking seen in regular Feraligatr is moved up slightly on Mega Feraligatr.

Mega Feraligatr uses its hood-like fin and arm spikes together to form a gigantic false jaw, by clasping its hands together as the "lower jaw" and bringing down its hood as the "upper jaw". This false jaw has a bite force that is ten times more powerful than Mega Feraligatr's actual jaws. When Mega Feraligatr closes its false jaw, its shape together with the arm-like fins on Mega Feraligatr's sides makes it resemble its pre-Evolution, {{p|Totodile}}.

* Feraligatr and {{p|Drampa}} are the only Pokémon to have different [[Pokémon category|categories]] after [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolving]].

===Origin===
Feraligatr appears to be based on a {{wp|crocodilia}}n. It visually resembles an {{wp|alligator}}. The yellow marking on its belly might be a reference to the yellow stripes on young {{wp|American alligator}}s. In {{g|Sleep}}, Feraligatr and its pre-Evolutions are revealed to sleep with one eye open, just like real-life crocodiles. The crest on Feraligatr's head is similar to the {{wp|mohawk hairstyle}} which may allude to Feraligatr's boisterous personality.

Mega Feraligatr's appearance when closing its external "jaw" is similar to that of its pre-Evolution {{p|Totodile}}.

====Name origin====
Feraligatr may be a combination of ''feral'' or ''ferocious'' and ''{{wp|alligator}}''. The shortening of "gator" into ''gatr'' may be a result of the ten-character limit on English Pokémon names in [[Generation II]].

Ordile may be a combination of 王 ''ō'' (king), 皇 ''ō'' (emperor), or 大 ''ō'' (large), and ''{{wp|crocodile}}''.

'''Croconaw''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''アリゲイツ''' ''Alligates'') is a {{type|Water}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation II]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Totodile}} starting at [[level]] 18 and evolves into {{p|Feraligatr}} starting at level 30.

==Biology==
[[File:Sleep Style 0159-1.png|thumb|left|200px|Croconaw sleeps with one eye open]]
Croconaw is a bipedal, {{wp|Crocodylia|crocodilian}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. It has well-developed, rounded jaws with two fangs visible in the corners of the lower jaw even when closed. Its eyes are red with black markings around them. There are three clusters of red spikes on its body: one with three points on top of its head, one with two points between its shoulders, and a diamond-shaped one near the tip of its tail. While most of its body is blue, its lower jaw is yellow and there is an asymmetrical, yellow-and-blue pattern around its chest that resembles a spotted animal skin.

Although Croconaw is described as always having forty-eight fangs lining its mouth, only six are discernible. The tips of its teeth are slanted backward similar to a barbed fish hook; this makes them impossible to remove once embedded in something. Once Croconaw has bitten down onto something, it will not let go until it loses its teeth; any missing teeth will quickly grow back. Croconaw can rarely be found {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Water's-edge Pokémon|near water}}. As shown in [[Pokémon Sleep]], Croconaw and its evolutionary relatives are known to sleep with one eye open and rest only half of its brain at a time — a practice known as {{wp|Unihemispheric slow-wave sleep|unihemispheric sleep}}. During sleep, as one half of Croconaw's brain rests, the eye on the same side opens. This allows Croconaw to watch for enemy attacks while it sleeps.

===Evolution===
Croconaw evolves from {{p|Totodile}} and evolves into {{p|Feraligatr}}.

Croconaw made its TV debut in ''[[The Legend of Thunder!]]'', under the ownership of {{jo|Marina}} and the [[nickname]] of Wani-Wani. She obtained it as a Totodile from [[Professor Elm]]. In ''[[DP041|A Stand-Up Sit-Down!]]'', it was revealed to have evolved into a Feraligatr.

====[[Khoury's Croconaw]]====
In ''[[DP147|Bagged Then Tagged!]]'', [[Khoury]]'s Totodile evolved during a [[Multi Battle|Tag Battle]] against [[Ash's Monferno]] and [[Dawn's Cyndaquil]], where it was partnered with {{an|Lyra}}'s {{p|Chikorita}}. Despite the Evolution, they were defeated.

{{main|Croconaw (TCG)}}

==Trivia==
* Croconaw is the first partner Pokémon with the shortest level gap between Evolutions at 12, evolving from Totodile at level 18, and into Feraligatr at level 30.
* Due to [[List of censored words in Generation V|the censor]] that prevents Pokémon with offensive [[nickname]]s from being traded on the [[GTS]], an English-language Croconaw cannot be traded on the GTS without a nickname in {{game|Black and White|s}}.

===Origin===
Croconaw appears to be based on a {{wp|crocodilia}}n. In {{g|Sleep}}, Croconaw and its evolutionary relatives are revealed to sleep with one eye open, just like real-life crocodiles.

It also appears to have a {{wp|prehistory|prehistoric}} theme, as its head spikes and chest patterns seems to be based on the wild hair and animal-skin cloth worn by {{wp|caveman|cavemen}}, while its head resembles that of a {{wp|theropoda|theropod dinosaur}}. The crest on Croconaw's head is similar to the {{wp|mohawk}} hairstyle which may allude to Croconaw's boisterous personality.

====Name origin====
Croconaw may be a combination of ''{{wp|crocodile}}'' and ''gnaw'', though it may also involve ''maw'' or ''jaw''.

Alligates may be derived from ''{{wp|alligator}}''.

'''Bayleef''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ベイリーフ''' ''Bayleaf'') is a {{type|Grass}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation II]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Chikorita}} starting at [[level]] 16 and evolves into {{p|Meganium}} starting at level 32.

==Biology==
Bayleef is a quadrupedal, pale-yellow {{wp|reptile|reptilian}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that resembles a {{wp|sauropoda|sauropod}} {{wp|dinosaur}}. It has a long neck, red eyes, a short, rounded snout, and a stubby tail. Each foot has a single, light gray nail. Sprouting from its forehead is a green leaf that curves back over its head and around its neck are a series of tightly curled leaves. Inside the leaves are small tree shoots.

The aroma wafting from the leaves around its neck has a spicy scent and has various beneficial effects on those who inhale it. The fragrance has a combination of energizing, stimulating, and healing effects. Bayleef can be rarely found in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Grassland Pokémon|grasslands}}. As mentioned in {{g|Sleep}}, any Pokémon sleeping near Bayleef will feel invigorated.<ref>[[Sleep style|Sleep Style Dex]]</ref>

===Evolution===
Bayleef evolves from {{p|Chikorita}} and evolves into {{p|Meganium}}.

(For specifics on this Pokémon's Evolution in the games, refer to [[#Evolution data|Game data→Evolution data]].)

==In animation==
[[File:Ash Bayleef.png|thumb|250px|Bayleef in {{aniseries|DP}}]]
===Major appearances===
====[[Ash's Bayleef]]====
In ''[[EP199|Current Events]]'', {{Ash}}'s {{p|Chikorita}} evolved into a Bayleef while protecting Ash from {{TRT}}. Bayleef still had the same personality she had when she was still a Chikorita, but she soon mellowed out.

====[[Casey's Bayleef]]====
Bayleef debuted in ''[[EP161|The Bug Stops Here]]'', where {{an|Casey}}'s Chikorita evolved into one. It evolved again into a {{p|Meganium}} off-screen prior to the events of ''[[EP261|Here's Lookin' at You, Elekid]]''.

====Other====
[[Horace]]'s Chikorita was revealed to have evolved into a Bayleef in ''[[JN102|Battling in the Freezing Raid!]]''. It was used in a [[Raid Battle (GO)#In animation|Raid Battle]] against an {{p|Articuno}}, only to be defeated.

===Minor appearances===
A Bayleef appeared in a fantasy in ''[[AG133|The Right Place and the Right Mime]]''.

A {{pkmn|Trainer}}'s Bayleef appeared in ''[[DP158|Regaining the Home Advantage!]]''.

Four Bayleef appeared in ''[[M21|The Power of Us]]'', with two under the ownership of two different Trainers (including [[Mother and daughter|an unnamed recurring woman]]), the third being {{pkmn2|wild}}, and the fourth appearing during a flashback.

A Student's Bayleef appeared in ''[[HZ090|Eyes to the Skies Once Again, Part 1]]''.

{{main|Gold's Bayleef}}
{{GnB|Gold}} has a Bayleef that used to belong to {{GnB|Black}}, but was released by its former Trainer for being too weak. After joining Gold's team, it has been able to defeat strong opponents, such as [[Bugsy's Scyther]].

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

==Trivia==
* Bayleef and its evolutionary relatives are the only evolutionary line of a [[first partner Pokémon]] to keep their Japanese voices in the English [[dub]] of the {{pkmn|animated series}}, due to having nearly identical names in English and Japanese.
* Bayleef's "necklace" is consistently described as having a spicy aroma, while real {{wp|bay leaves}} have a bitter and herbal taste, which is similar to {{wp|thyme}}.
* Bayleef is one of the very few Pokémon who has the same front sprite in both ''[[Pokémon Gold and Silver Versions|Pokémon Gold and Silver]]''.

===Origin===
[[File:Spr 2d 153.png|200px|thumb|Hanamogura (ハナモグラ)]]
Bayleef appears to be based on {{wp|sauropoda|sauropods}}, specifically the ''{{wp|Apatosaurus}}''. Its vegetable part may be based on the leaves of the {{wp|Laurus nobilis|bay laurel}}, whose oil is used for healing and as a stimulant in {{wp|aromatherapy}}.

In the [[Pokémon Gold and Silver Spaceworld '97 demo]], Bayleef was instead a different design named Hanamogura (ハナモグラ). It is seemingly based on moles, which use the kanji meaning "earth dragon" (土竜 ''mogura''), thus being a mole that blossoms into a dragon. The antennae from this design persist in {{p|Meganium}}'s final design.

====Name origin====
Bayleef and Bayleaf derive from ''{{wp|bay leaf}}'', a herb used in cooking known for its pungent smell.

'''Meganium''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''メガニウム''' ''Meganium'') is a {{type|Grass}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation II]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Bayleef}} starting at [[level]] 32. It is the final form of {{p|Chikorita}}.

Meganium can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into '''Mega Meganium''' using the [[Meganiumite]]. Mega Meganium was introduced in [[Pokémon Legends: Z-A]].

==Biology==
Meganium is a quadrupedal, pale-green {{wp|reptile|reptilian}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that resembles a {{wp|sauropoda|sauropod}} {{wp|dinosaur}}. It has a long neck; yellow eyes; a short, blunt snout; and two {{wp|stamen}}-like antennae on top of its snout. The antennae are shorter on a female than on a male. Encircling Meganium's neck are large, pink flower petals with a yellow central pattern and white edges. It has three claws on each foot and a stubby tail.

Meganium's petals release an aroma that calms aggressive feelings and its breath has the power to revive dead grass and plants. Its soothing, regenerative powers can even affect those who stand nearby. Meganium tends to be very docile and is portrayed as a peacemaker in the {{aniseries|AG}} episode ''[[AG161|Odd Pokémon Out!]]''. It can rarely be found living in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Grassland Pokémon|grasslands}}. As mentioned in {{g|Sleep}}, many Pokémon tend to sleep peacefully side-by-side with Meganium.<ref>[[Sleep style|Sleep Style Dex]]</ref> The reason is fragrance given off by Meganium's flower sooths and calms emotions of any Pokémon fighting near it.

===Forms===
Meganium can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into Mega Meganium.

The singular six-petaled flower around Meganium's deck transforms into four flowers on Mega Meganium, which are colored, from top to bottom: red, dark pink, light pink, and white. The white flower has a red spiky pattern on three of its petals, branching radially from the center; the same pattern is present on the other three flowers, but colored white instead. The flowers on Mega Meganium are noticeably thicker than on regular Meganium. The bottoms of Mega Meganium's legs are covered in dark green frills that resemble leaves or foliage. The two stamen-like antennae on Meganium have transformed and fused into a V-shaped antenna on Mega Meganium, with each end curling near the tip.

Due to [[Mega Evolution]], Mega Meganium's {{type|Grass|Grass-type}} powers have significantly increased. Notably, it can unleash a highly powered {{m|Solar Beam}} from its four flowers — this move is also known as "Mega Sol Cannon."

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

==Trivia==
* Bayleef and Meganium are the only Pokémon to have a one-point difference between their base Attack and Special Attack stats.
* Meganium's evolutionary line are the only [[first partner Pokémon]] evolutionary line to keep their Japanese voices in the English [[dub]] of the {{pkmn|animated series}}. This is due to them having nearly identical names in English and Japanese (with Meganium even being spelled identically to its official Japanese romanization).
* Meganium's design has slightly changed over the years. Its original design in {{v2|Gold and Silver|s}} had orange petals, round green inner petals, and florets around the base of the neck. In {{v|Crystal}}, Meganium's flower was changed to be closer to the modern design, save for a pair of stripes on each petal. These stripes would remain until their removal in {{v2|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}.

===Origin===
[[File:Spr 2d 153.png|200px|thumb|Hanamogura (ハナモグラ)]]
Meganium has the appearance of a {{wp|sauropoda|sauropod}}, particularly an ''{{wp|Apatosaurus}}''. Its flower seems to be based on a type of hybrid {{wp|daylily}} with ruffled edges and its long neck makes it similar to the ''{{wp|Amorphophallus titanum|titan arum}}''. It may also draw inspiration from {{wp|pelargonium|geraniums}}, as suggested by its name. Meganium's design may have also been influenced by ''{{wp|Aachenosaurus}}'', an ancient plant whose fossils were once believed to belong to a dinosaur. Its proportions and face resemble those of the herbivorous {{wp|Galápagos tortoises}}, with its neck flower resembling the way their shells open at the front.

The antennae on Meganium's head seem to be holdovers from Hanamogura (ハナモグラ), a prototype design for {{p|Bayleef}} found in the [[Pokémon Gold and Silver Spaceworld '97 demo]].

====Name origin====
Meganium may be a combination of ''mega'' and ''{{wp|geranium}}''.

'''Charizard''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''リザードン''' ''Lizardon'') is a dual-type {{2t|Fire|Flying}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation I]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Charmeleon}} starting at [[level]] 36. It is the final form of {{p|Charmander}}.

Charizard has three forms: '''Mega Charizard X''', '''Mega Charizard Y''', and '''Gigantamax Charizard'''. It can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into Mega Charizard X using the [[Charizardite X]] and Mega Charizard Y using the [[Charizardite Y]], and can [[Gigantamax]] into Gigantamax Charizard if it has the {{DL|Gigantamax|Gigantamax Factor}}.

Charizard is the [[game mascot]] of {{game|Red and Blue|s|Pokémon Red}} and its [[remake]] {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s|Pokémon FireRed}}, appearing on the boxart of both games.

Along with {{p|Pikachu}}, {{p|Talonflame}}, and {{p|Decidueye}}, Charizard is one of the four [[First partner Pokémon|partner Pokémon]] available through the Unite Licenses in [[Pokémon UNITE]] as of version 1.12.1.2.

==Biology==
Charizard is a {{wp|dragon|draconic}}, bipedal {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. It is primarily orange with a cream underside from the chest to the tip of its tail. It has a long neck, small blue eyes, slightly raised nostrils, and two horn-like structures protruding from the back of its rectangular head. Two fangs are visible in its upper jaw when its mouth is closed. Two large wings with blue-green undersides sprout from its back, and a horn-like appendage juts out from the top of the third joint of each wing. A single wing finger is visible through the center of each wing membrane. Charizard's arms are short and skinny compared to its robust belly, and each limb has three white claws. In [[Pokémon Red and Green]], Charizard is seemingly shown holding a fireball, implying that it's capable of manipulating its flames using its hands; this is seen in media where it uses [[Fire Punch]]. It has stocky legs with cream-colored soles on each of its {{wp|plantigrade}} feet. The tip of its long, tapering tail burns with a sizable flame, which can intensify to a blue flame if Charizard is irritated.

Charizard typically inhabits {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Mountain Pokémon|mountains and valleys}}, such as the [[Charicific Valley]] in [[Johto]]. However, Charizard can also live in volcanoes, forming packs with other members of its family, including {{p|Charmander}}. In [[Pokémon Snap]], it's shown that Charizard are fully capable of living inside lava within volcanic craters.

Charizard flies in search of powerful opponents to battle, and its fire will burn hotter as it gains experience. Its fiery breath can melt boulders and massive glaciers and has been known to cause forest fires accidentally. Though its fiery breath is hot, it never turns it on any opponent weaker than itself. The {{aniseries|GS}} episode ''[[EP134|Charizard's Burning Ambitions]]'' showed that only a weak Charizard would show off its power. The side story episode ''[[HS17|Those Darn Electabuzz!]]'' showed that Charizard can swim underwater, with [[Pokémon Origins]] further showing that the flame on the tip of the tail can still keep burning underwater. Charizard's wings can carry it to an altitude of 4,600 feet (1,400 meters), but [[An Illustrated Book of POCKET MONSTERS]] notes that its droppings were found on {{wp|Mt. Fuji}}, implying it could fly thrice as high. In [[Pokémon Sleep]], as well as media like the {{pkmn|animated series}}, Charizard is known to sleep in an incredibly relaxed position, <ref>[[Sleep style|Sleep Style Dex]]</ref> as it is very confident in its power. It has three different sleep styles: ''Stomach Sleep'' (also used for ''Atop-Belly Sleep''), ''Tummy-Rub Sleep'', and ''Tummy-Up Sleep'' - the last of which has Charizard sleeping flat on its back, which may be an indicator of that Charizard being especially strong. In the animated series, it was shown that Charizard may be vulnerable to their tail flame going out in the same way as {{p|Charmander}}, according to the {{aniseries|OS}} episode ''[[EP105|Charizard Chills]]'', where Ash warns his Charizard to not let its flame go out.

Even though Charizard originally couldn't learn the move {{m|Fly}}, Trainers have been shown riding Charizard in official artwork dating back to the 1997 [[Bandai Pokémon Carddass Cards|Carddass Trading Cards]]. {{Ash}} himself was shown riding his Charizard already in the [[S02|second season]] of the [[original series]] of ''Pokémon the Series''. Eventually, in {{game|Yellow}}, Charizard became able to learn Fly and has since been frequently depicted as a Pokémon able to carry people on its back to fly them to distant areas. In [[Alola]], Charizard is a [[Poké Ride|Ride Pokémon]] called Charizard Glide, being used by the natives to fly around the region or make deliveries.

===Forms===
[[File:Mega Charizard X Mega Charizard Y artwork 2.png|left|thumb|250px|Mega Charizard X and Mega Charizard Y.]]
Charizard has three alternate forms: Mega Charizard X, Mega Charizard Y, and [[Gigantamax]] Charizard.

Both of Charizard's [[Mega Evolution]]s feature a shorter snout, white, vertical slit pupils, and a bright underside reaching the lower jaw.

;Mega Charizard X
As Mega Charizard X, its body and legs are more physically fit, though its arms remain thin. Its skin turns black with a sky-blue underside and soles. Two spikes with blue tips curve upward from the front and back of each shoulder, while the tips of its horns sharpen, turn blue, and curve slightly upward. Its brow and claws are larger, and its eyes are now red. It has two small, fin-like spikes under each horn and two more down its lower neck. The finger disappears from the wing membrane, and the lower edges are divided into large, rounded points. The third joint of each wing-arm is adorned with a claw-like spike. Mega Charizard X breathes blue flames out the sides of its mouth, and the flame on its tail now burns blue consistently. It is said that its new power turns it black and creates more intense flames. Mega Charizard X's {{a|Tough Claws|claw strength}} has also increased from its original form.

;Mega Charizard Y
As Mega Charizard Y, it becomes sleeker in appearance but retains its normal coloration. It has three pointed horns on the back of its head, the middle of which is longer. Its snout has larger fangs and a ridge on the nose. Its neck is shorter, but its torso is thinner and longer. It features longer {{wp|digitigrade}} feet. Its hands are less developed, with extremely shortened fingers that are no longer separated from each other. Small wings develop on its wrists, while the ones on its back become larger, lose the wing finger passing through their membrane and end up with ragged edges. The back of its tail has a large spike at the base and three smaller ones near the tip, which now burns with a longer flame. Mega Charizard Y is said to have incredible flying prowess that is greater than that of a jet fighter. The source of Mega Charizard Y's power is said to come from the bond with its [[Trainer]].

;Gigantamax
[[File:Leon Charizard G-Max Wildfire.png|thumb|left|220px|Gigantamax Charizard's wingless body]]
As Gigantamax Charizard, it becomes larger and more physically fit. The lower part of its body glows white, with several yellow diamonds on the lower belly. There are also diamond-shaped spots located on the front legs. The claws located on its hands and feet become longer and sharper. The feet become longer and digitigrade, retaining small glowing soles under the forefeet. The sclerae of the eyes become yellow. The glow of a flame can be seen in the mouth, and the teeth grow, with the lower front teeth and three teeth in the middle now protruding when the mouth is closed. The flame on the tail extends out and has three red clouds surrounding it, like the clouds most other Gigantamax Pokémon have. Two flames sprout from its horns, and its wings are transformed into literal flame wings extending to the shoulder blade.

Due to being enhanced by Gigantamax energy, the fire within Charizard's body has become much stronger, burning hotter than 3,600 degrees Fahrenheit (2,000 degrees Celsius) and continuing to rise in temperature when Gigantamax Charizard roars. When using its [[Signature move|signature]] [[G-Max Move]], {{m|G-Max Wildfire}}, it launches its colossal fiery wings in the shape of a bird, which circles opponents while continuously scorching them with flames even hotter than magma.<ref>[https://swordshield.pokemon.com/en-us/pokemon-galar-region/gigantamax-charizard/ Gigantamax Charizard | Official Website | Pokémon Sword and Pokémon Shield]</ref>

Charizard, its pre-evolved forms, and Mega Charizard X were designed by [[Atsuko Nishida]].<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/19980121112202fw_/http://www.gamefreak.co.jp/POKEMON/INTER/ATSUKO/INTER_AT.HTM Interview with Atsuko Nishida on Game Freak's website] (archived, Japanese)</ref><ref>[https://funs-project.com/poplab/007/index_2.html Fun's Project interview with Atsuko Nishida] (Japanese)</ref>

===Origin===
Charizard may be based on {{wp|European dragon}}s, which are heavily associated with the element of fire in {{wp|European folklore}}; this draconic appearance would later be reflected in the {{2t|Fire|Dragon}} typing of Mega Charizard X. Like its pre-evolved forms, it may also take inspiration from lizards, dinosaurs, and the mythical {{wp|Salamanders in folklore|salamander}}. Its English and Japanese nomenclature may be a reference to how Western dragons are heavily inspired by lizards and other reptiles.

====Name origin====
Charizard may be a combination of ''char'' (to burn) and ''lizard''.

Lizardon may be a combination of ''lizard'' and either ''dragon'' or ''-don'' (common suffix in dinosaur names derived from the Ancient Greek word for tooth).

'''Blastoise''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''カメックス''' ''Kamex'') is a {{type|Water}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation I]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Wartortle}} starting at [[level]] 36. It is the final form of {{p|Squirtle}}.

Blastoise has two forms: '''Mega Blastoise''' and '''Gigantamax Blastoise'''. It can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into Mega Blastoise using the [[Blastoisinite]], and can [[Gigantamax]] into Gigantamax Blastoise if it has the {{DL|Gigantamax|Gigantamax Factor}}. Gigantamax Blastoise was introduced in [[The Isle of Armor]].

Blastoise is the [[game mascot]] of the [[Pokémon Blue Version (Japanese)|Japanese]] and international versions of [[Pokémon Red and Blue Versions|Pokémon Blue]], appearing on the boxart of both games.

==Biology==
[[File:Blastoise shell anime.png|thumb|left|200px|Blastoise inside its shell]]
Blastoise is a large, bipedal {{wp|turtle}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. Its body is blue and is mostly hidden by its tough, brown shell. This shell has a cream-colored underside and a white ridge encircling its arms and separating the upper and lower halves. Two powerful water cannons/jet nozzles reside at the top of its shell over its shoulders. These cannons can be extended or withdrawn. Blastoise's head has triangular ears that are black on the inside, small brown eyes, and a cream-colored lower jaw. Its arms are thick, and it has three claws on each hand. Its feet have three claws on the front and one on the back. Poking out of the bottom of its shell is a stubby tail.

The powerful cannons on this Pokémon's back can produce water blasts that can pierce steel and concrete and be used for high-speed charges. The speed of Blastoise's charges is similar to the force of a rocket. Blastoise makes itself heavy to withstand these powerful blasts and crush its opponents. It is shown in the ''[[Pokémon the Series]]'' episode ''[[EP060|Beach Blank-Out Blastoise]]'' that Blastoise can take the role of a leader in large groups of {{p|Squirtle}} and {{p|Wartortle}}. Its preferred habitat seems to be {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Water's Edge Pokémon|freshwater ponds and lakes}}. Blastoise is capable of flying by propelling itself with water from the back openings of its shell. As shown in [[Pokémon Sleep]], Blastoise is known to sleep soundly while protected by its tough shell.<ref>[[Sleep style|Sleep Style Dex]]</ref> Blastoise has also been seen sleeping with its belly exposed on very rare occasions. This is due to Blastoise feeling completely secure in its surroundings and quickly falling asleep. Blastoise has four different sleep styles it sleeps in: ''Sheltered Sleep'', ''Unsheltered Sleep'', ''Overturned Sleep'', and ''Atop-Belly Sleep''.

In [[Generation II]], Blastoise and its pre-evolved forms were the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Skull Bash}} naturally, but other Pokémon could still inherit it via {{pkmn|breeding}}.

===Forms===
Blastoise has two forms: Mega Blastoise and [[Gigantamax]] Blastoise.

;Mega Blastoise
When [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolved]], Blastoise develops two smaller shells over its arms, each with its own water cannon. Small ridges develop over its now-red eyes and extend to its ears — which angle slightly backward — and there is a small point on its chin. The two cannons on its back merge into a single, central water cannon of greater size that extends forward over Mega Blastoise's head and can retract back into its shell.

This main cannon has power equivalent to that of a tank gun at minimum and possesses a blast range of over 6 miles (10 kilometers). Mega Blastoise's strengthened legs and back enable it to withstand the recoil from its own blasts, but it can also use its arm cannons to further support itself by using moves such as {{m|Ice Beam}} to latch itself to the ground before firing a massive attack, such as during its Burst Attack in [[Pokkén Tournament]].<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20150329055725/http://www.pokemonxy.com/en-us/pokemon/mega_pokemon/ Pokémon X and Y site | Mega Pokémon (archived)]</ref>

[[File:009Blastoise-Gigantamax 2.png|thumb|left|250px|Gigantamax Blastoise shooting streams of water from its cannons]]
;Gigantamax Blastoise
As Gigantamax Blastoise, it becomes larger. Its eyes are white with bright blue sclerae. Its blue arms, head, and legs change to light blue, and the underside of its shell becomes dark red. Its shell becomes darker and transforms into a battleship-like formation, with 31 cannons of different sizes: sets of twin cannons emerge from hexagon and rectangle-shaped holes within the shell, and a main cannon protrudes from the center. Several white triangular spots are located on its tail and legs. Three red clouds surround the main cannon.

Gigantamax Blastoise can adapt to any situation using various cannon combinations. It is not very good at precision shooting, so instead of aiming its attacks, it prefers to overwhelm its opponent by launching dynamic, powerful torrents from its cannons. According to one legend, its main cannon is so staggeringly powerful that it can blast holes through the mountains. Gigantamax Blastoise can also individually align the 12 cannons surrounding its main cannon to attack in any direction.<ref>[https://swordshield.pokemon.com/en-us/expansionpass/pokemon/gigantamax-blastoise/ Gigantamax Blastoise | Official Website | Pokémon Sword and Pokémon Shield]</ref>

Gigantamax Blastoise is the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of using the [[G-Max Move]] {{m|G-Max Cannonade}}.

===NPC appearances===
* [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon]]: Blastoise is the leader of Team Hydro, a [[Rank (Mystery Dungeon)|Bronze Rank]] rescue team. It joins a new team designed to rescue [[Team A.C.T.]] from [[Magma Cavern]] but fails to reach them. Blastoise appears to go exploring a lot as it discovers [[Western Cave]] and [[Meteor Cave]]. It reaches the end of Western Cave with {{p|Charizard}} of Team A.C.T., but both are defeated by {{p|Mewtwo}}. Blastoise is quick to anger, a feature that Charizard exploits to boost morale.

=====Other=====
A Blastoise appeared in ''[[EP060|Beach Blank-Out Blastoise]]'', where it ruled over an island of Squirtle and Wartortle. It had a {{an|Jigglypuff}} stuck in one of its cannons, and Jigglypuff's {{m|Sing|song}} subsequently made everyone fall asleep.

A Blastoise [[nickname]]d Shellshocker appeared in ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'' and its remake ''[[M22|Mewtwo Strikes Back—Evolution]]'', under the ownership of [[Neesha]].

Along with [[Ash's Charizard]] and [[Corey]]'s {{p|Venusaur}}, they were the only confiscated Pokémon not to be cloned and they had the same marks that Squirtletwo had, indicating that it was likely obtained by Mewtwo through different means than the ones used to clone. After being freed, it fought with {{OBP|Mewtwo|M01}}'s cloned Blastoise and lost.

In ''[[EP085|Fit To Be Tide]]'', [[Cissy]] used her Blastoise to compete against Ash and his {{AP|Lapras}} in a Wave Race for the {{badge|Coral-Eye}}.

[[File:UNITE Blastoise.png|220px|thumb|Blastoise in Pokémon UNITE]]
===[[Super Smash Bros.]]===
When released from a {{i|Poké Ball}}, Blastoise will use {{m|Hydro Pump}} in one direction. Each Pump moves Blastoise backward slightly making it a danger to those fighting behind it as well.

===[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]===
Blastoise reappears as a Poké Ball Pokémon in Super Smash Bros. Melee. Like in SSB, it uses Hydro Pump as its attack. Blastoise's trophy also refers to Blastoise as the 'Definitive Water Type'.
====Trophy information====
''"Blastoise is the next evolutionary step after Wartortle. The thick jets of water they shoot from the cannons on their backs are strong enough to cut through steel plating. When in danger, they hide inside their armored shells. Blastoise is so popular among Trainers that it's considered the definitive {{type|Water}}."''

Blastoise was briefly considered as a possible playable character before it was switched out for Squirtle.

A trophy of Mega Blastoise also exists in both versions of the game.
====Trophy information====
=====Blastoise=====
'''NA:''' ''On a hot summer day, it's great to cool off by playing in a sprinkler. Don't look to Blastoise as a replacement, though—those water jets on its back are extremely powerful and would send you flying. In fact, Blastoise itself is so huge so it doesn't get blown away when it fires. Speaking of fires, Blastoise is better than a fire truck at putting them out!''

'''PAL:''' ''Tempted to have a Blastoise hose the mud off your bike? Well, don't. The water jets from its rocket cannons might look perfect for that, but they'd just blast your bike into oblivion. In fact, the reason Blastoise grow so big and heavy is so they don't get blown away themselves. If your house is on fire, though, feel free to get a Blastoise to help!''
=====Mega Blastoise=====
'''NA''': ''Some species of Pokémon living in [[Kalos]] have the ability to Mega Evolve, and here's one! Mega Blastoise is a bit bigger than Blastoise, and instead of two cannons on its shell, it has one huge cannon. This may seem like a downgrade, but wait–there are two on its arms! This math is easy: three is better than two.''

'''PAL''': ''Some species of Pokémon living in Kalos have the ability to Mega Evolve, and here's one! Mega Blastoise is a bit bigger than Blastoise, and instead of two cannons on its shell, it has one huge cannon. This may seem like a downgrade, but wait - there are two on its arms, too! Basic arithmetic: three is better than two.''

==Trivia==
* Blastoise shares its {{pkmn|category}} with {{p|Kabuto}} and {{p|Kabutops}}. They are all known as the Shellfish Pokémon.
** Despite this, Blastoise is based on a turtle not a shellfish. This may be due to the fact the Japanese category is more accurately translated "Shell" not "Shellfish".
* [[List of unused Pokémon and character designs|Early concept art]] for a Pokémon called "Karabajio" resembles Blastoise without its signature water cannons. The name may be a combination of "''carapace''" and ''{{wp|Caravaggio}}''.
* [[Mega Evolution|Mega]] Blastoise is the only Mega-Evolved [[first partner Pokémon]] that does not have two types.
* The way Blastoise flies in [[New Pokémon Snap]] is a potential reference to {{wp|Gamera}}.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l9-20DgZlJQ i didn't know Blastoise can do this... OH SH--]</ref> [[Pokkén Tournament DX]] and [[Pokémon Scarlet and Violet]] have also introduced similar motions for Blastoise's actions.
* Blastoise was originally considered for [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]] alongside {{OBP|Charizard|Super Smash Bros.}} and {{OBP|Ivysaur|Super Smash Bros.}}, but director [[Masahiro Sakurai]] decided to go with {{OBP|Squirtle|Super Smash Bros.}} instead for evolutionary stage balance.<ref>[http://sourcegaming.info/2016/04/29/duflupdate/ The Definitive List of Unused Fighters in Smash]</ref>
* When using {{m|Hydro Pump}} in {{g|Legends Z-A}}, Blastoise fires 2 streams of water instead of just one from its cannons.

===Origin===
Blastoise's design appears to be a {{wp|turtle}} mixed with aspects of a {{wp|tank}}.

Gigantamax Blastoise's shell may be based on a {{wp|battleship}}. It may also be based on {{wp|Leonardo da Vinci}}'s design for an {{wp|Leonardo's fighting vehicle|armored fighting vehicle}}, which itself is inspired by a turtle's shell.

====Name origin====
Blastoise may be a combination of ''blast'' (referring to its cannons) and ''{{wp|tortoise}}''.

Kamex may be a combination of 亀 ''kame'' (tortoise, turtle) and マックス ''makkusu'' (max; maximum).

'''Venusaur''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''フシギバナ''' ''Fushigibana'') is a dual-type {{2t|Grass|Poison}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation I]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Ivysaur}} starting at [[level]] 32. It is the final form of {{p|Bulbasaur}}.

Venusaur has two forms: '''Mega Venusaur''' and '''Gigantamax Venusaur'''. It can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into Mega Venusaur using the [[Venusaurite]], and can [[Gigantamax]] into Gigantamax Venusaur if it has the {{DL|Gigantamax|Gigantamax Factor}}. Gigantamax Venusaur was introduced in [[The Isle of Armor]].

Venusaur is the [[game mascot]] of {{game|Red and Green|s|Pokémon Green}} and its [[remake]] {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s|Pokémon LeafGreen}}, appearing on the box art of both games.

==Biology==
[[File:Erika Venusaur bulb closed PM.png|thumb|200px|left|Venusaur with its bulb closed]]
Venusaur is a squat, quadrupedal {{wp|amphibian}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with bumpy, blue-green skin. It has small, circular red eyes and a short, blunt snout. Its mouth is wide with two pointed teeth in the upper jaw and four in the lower jaw. On top of its head are small, pointed ears with reddish-pink insides. It has three clawed toes on each foot. The bud on its back has bloomed into a large pink, white-spotted flower. The flower is supported by a thick, brown trunk surrounded by green fronds. A female Venusaur has a {{wp|gynoecium}} in the center of its flower.

Venusaur uses its flower to catch the sun's rays to convert them into energy, which causes the flower to become more vibrant. The flower releases a soothing scent that attracts Pokémon and calms emotions. This scent becomes stronger after a rainy day. Venusaur is at its strongest in the summertime when there is much more sunlight to absorb. As shown in [[Pokémon Sleep]], Venusaur releases a soothing fragrance while sleeping. Venusaur has four different sleep styles it sleeps in: ''Sunbathing Sleep'', ''Sturdy Sleep'', ''Vines-Out Sleep'', and ''Atop-Belly Sleep''. In the {{aniseries|OS}} episode ''[[EP051|Bulbasaur's Mysterious Garden]]'', Venusaur has demonstrated the ability to manipulate nature, release several vines from its back, and lead Evolution ceremonies for {{p|Bulbasaur}} and {{p|Ivysaur}}. This Pokémon is rarely found in the wild, but it has been known to inhabit {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Grassland Pokémon|grasslands}}.

===Forms===
[[File:003Venusaur-Gigantamax 2.png|thumb|left|200px|Gigantamax Venusaur using {{m|G-Max Vine Lash}}]]
Venusaur has two forms: Mega Venusaur and [[Gigantamax]] Venusaur.

;Mega Venusaur
When [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolved]], the flower on Venusaur's back grows more prominent, and two smaller pink flowers bloom, one on its forehead and one on its rear. Its legs and back have become sturdier to support the extra weight of the flower.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20160406143554/http://www.pokemonxy.com/en-us/pokemon/mega_pokemon/#Mega%20Venusaur Mega Venusaur | Official Website | Pokémon X and Pokémon Y]</ref> Additional leaves with woody stems, supported by vines, are also grown around the flower. Mega Venusaur also develops dark markings on its forehead below the new flower on its forehead.

;Gigantamax Venusaur
As Gigantamax Venusaur, it becomes larger with its flower blooming even further, covering its body. These flowers have a taller bud and extraordinarily thick, springy petals capable of shielding Gigantamax Venusaur. Its eyes have light green sclerae and orange irises. More foliage grows from under its flower, and the trunk supporting it becomes shorter. It has several light green markings located at its belly.

Gigantamax Venusaur attacks with its thick vines, which are powerful enough to topple down a 10-story building. Gigantamax Venusaur's flower can similarly spread enough pollen to resemble a volcanic eruption. Breathing in this pollen can cause uncontrollable sneezing, and inhaling large amounts can even cause fainting. However, this pollen also promotes plant growth in areas where it lands.<ref>[https://swordshield.pokemon.com/en-us/expansionpass/pokemon/gigantamax-venusaur/ Gigantamax Venusaur | Official Website | Pokémon Sword and Pokémon Shield]</ref>

Gigantamax Venusaur is the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of using the [[G-Max Move]] {{m|G-Max Vine Lash}}.

====Major appearances====
=====[[May's Venusaur]]=====
In ''[[DP078|Pruning a Passel of Pals!]]'', {{an|May}}'s Bulbasaur was revealed to have evolved all the way into a Venusaur during her absence from the series. She was briefly seen facing off against a {{pkmn|Coordinator}}'s {{p|Marill}} in the [[Contest Battle|Battle Stage]] of the [[Wallace Cup]].

=====Other=====
In ''[[EP051|Bulbasaur's Mysterious Garden]]'', a Venusaur was the leader of an Evolution ceremony for Bulbasaur. It appeared again in ''[[SM042|Alola, Kanto!]]'', during a flashback.

A Venusaur [[nickname]]d Bruteroot appeared in ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'' and its remake ''[[M22|Mewtwo Strikes Back—Evolution]]'', under the ownership of [[Corey]]. It was taken away from her by one of {{OBP|Mewtwo|M01}}'s special [[Poké Ball]]s but was liberated by Ash along with the other confiscated Pokémon. Along with [[Ash's Charizard]] and [[Neesha]]'s {{p|Blastoise}}, they were the only confiscated Pokémon not to be cloned and they had the same marks that Bulbasaurtwo had, indicating that it was likely obtained by Mewtwo through different means than the ones used to clone. Its clone reappeared in ''[[Mewtwo Returns]]''. Corey's Venusaur also appeared in an alternate timeline of the main series that was introduced in ''[[M20|I Choose You!]]'', where it was seen battling [[Neesha]]'s {{p|Blastoise}}; it is unknown if it holds the same nickname in that timeline.

In ''[[EP112|Enter The Dragonite]]'', {{OBP|Drake|Orange League}}'s Venusaur was used in a battle against [[Ash's Tauros]], and it lost to Tauros' {{m|Take Down}} attack.

In ''[[EP185|The Light Fantastic]]'', a Venusaur was the longtime friend of [[Gan Gogh]]. He used it to battle Team Rocket.

When {{TRT}} was working at the {{jo|Battle Park}} in ''[[EP248|One Trick Phony!]]'', [[James]] used a Venusaur during a battle against [[Ash's Cyndaquil]] as part of an elaborate plan to capture {{AP|Pikachu}}.

In ''[[AG073|Grass Hysteria!]]'', a Venusaur was the leader of a group of {{type|Grass}} Pokémon living in the [[Forbidden Forest]].

==Trivia==
* Venusaur shares its height (6'7"/2.0 m), weight (220.5 lbs./100.0 kg) and Egg Groups (Monster and Grass), with another {{type|Grass}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, {{p|Tropius}}.
* Venusaur's evolutionary line is the only [[first partner Pokémon]] evolutionary line to have the {{t|Poison}} type.
** Venusaur's evolutionary line is also the only first partner Pokémon evolutionary line to have each member appear at least once in the [[Super Smash Bros. series]].
* Venusaur is among [[Ken Sugimori]]'s favorite Pokémon. However, it is also his least favorite Pokémon to draw due to its complex design.<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20101230153442/http://www.nintendo.co.jp/ds/interview/irbj/sp/index4.html</ref>
* Venusaur's number in the [[National Pokédex]] and the [[List of Pokémon by Fiore Browser number|Fiore Browser]] are the same: 003.
* Due to [[List of censored words in Generation V|the censor]] that prevents Pokémon with offensive [[nickname]]s being traded on the [[GTS]], a Venusaur with an English name could not be [[trade]]d on the GTS without a nickname in [[Generation V]].
* Venusaur shares its {{pkmn|category}} with its pre-evolved forms and {{p|Sunkern}}. They are all known as the Seed Pokémon.
* If the {{player}} chooses {{p|Charmander}} as their first partner Pokémon in {{game|Red and Blue|s}}, or locks themselves out of receiving {{p|Bulbasaur}} in {{game|Yellow}}, it is impossible to get Venusaur registered in the [[Pokédex]] without [[trade|trading]], as no NPC in said games uses a Venusaur except the rival if the player chose {{p|Squirtle}}. In {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, Cooltrainer Albert uses a Venusaur in Knockout Mode at the [[Trainer Tower]].
* Venusaur is the first Pokémon in [[National Pokédex]] order to have [[gender differences]].
* Venusaur is the only Pokémon to be a [[Game mascot|mascot]] for a {{game|Red and Green|s|Japan-exclusive}} [[core series|core game]].
* In {{aniseries|XY}}, [[Nihei]] and Venusaur from [[Ninja Village]] might be a reference to {{wp|Jiraiya}}, a frog-riding figure in {{wp|Japanese folktales|Japanese folklore}}.

===Merchandise===
[[File:Venusaur Red Battle Chess.png|thumb|Venusaur in Pokémon Battle Chess]]
* Venusaur appears in {{DL|Pokémon Battle Chess|Pokémon Battle Chess}}. It behaves like the rook piece in chess.

===Origin===
According to [[Ken Sugimori]] in a Japanese interview discussing the Pokémon franchise, Venusaur and its pre-Evolutions were inspired by {{wp|frog}}s.<ref>[http://web.archive.org/web/20101230153442/http://www.nintendo.co.jp/ds/interview/irbj/sp/index4.html Page 4 of interview with Game Freak, hosted on Nintendo's official website] (Japanese, archived)</ref> In particular, its short legs, stout appearance, ear-like protrusions on its head, and the {{a|Thick Fat}} Ability on Mega Venusaur, together make it resemble {{wp|Ceratophrys|horned frogs}}. Unlike Bulbasaur, Venusaur's "ears" have hollows, indicating that they are in fact ears and not glands, as seen in many species of frogs and toads.

The flower on its back resembles the ''{{wp|Rafflesia arnoldii}}''.

====Name origin====
Venusaur may be a combination of ''Venus'' (referring to the {{wp|Venus flytrap}} plant) or ''venom'' and ''dinosaur''.

Fushigibana may be a combination of 不思議 ''fushigi'' (strange; mysterious) and 花 ''hana'' (flower).

'''Emboar''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''エンブオー''' ''Enbuoh'') is a dual-type {{t|Fire}}/{{t|Fighting}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation V]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Pignite}} starting at [[level]] 36. It is the final form of {{p|Tepig}}.

Emboar can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into '''Mega Emboar''' using the [[Emboarite]]. Mega Emboar was introduced in [[Pokémon Legends: Z-A]].

==Biology==
Emboar is a bulky, bipedal {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with pig-like features. It has a red nose, large bushy black eyebrows, and two tusks protruding from its lower jaw. Constantly burning flames cover the front of its neck and shoulders. The fire beard comes from the body flame within its body. It has short legs and thick arms. Its arms have orange upper portions while the legs have red upper portions. All of its limbs have black lower portions with thin yellow lines where the upper and lower colors meet. These lines are straight on the arms and spiked on the legs. The arms have red lines around the wrists and tufts of fur on the elbows. The hands are tipped with three claws, while the feet have two claws. A large, dark horizontal stripe on the chest of Emboar has swirled yellow markings. Its small tail ends in a tuft of hair.

Using the wreath of flames on its neck and shoulders, Emboar will set its hands on fire. It uses its power and speed to master fighting moves. This power can be increased when Emboar's neck flame intensifies. The more dire the situation is, the more excited Emboar becomes to the point of enjoying itself. Though very tough and relentless when fighting, it shows deep affection for those it considers friends. It can also unleash powerful blasts of fire using only its nose and cloak its body in a fire to use many powerful attacks.

Prior to [[Generation VIII]], Emboar and its pre-evolved forms were the [[Signature Ability|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Heat Crash}}.

===Forms===
[[File:Mega Emboar Back.jpg|200px|thumb|left|The yellow spots on Mega Emboar's back]]
Emboar can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into Mega Emboar.

The wreath of flames on Emboar's neck expands and covers Mega Emboar's chest and shoulders like an armor; the flames are mostly red, with yellow marks around the chest, neck, and upper back area. Its waist is covered in long red fur, and the combination of this fur with Mega Emboar's chest flames altogether resemble an angry face with an open mouth. Its tusks grow longer, with additional, smaller tusks on each side. The fur around its elbows also become longer, and it has red and yellow stripes on its arms and legs. Mega Emboar's eyebrows take on sharper, triangular shapes, accompanied by circular brows above each eye. It gains a tuft of hair on the back of its head, resembling a topknot.

Upon Mega Evolution, Emboar wields a blazing flame shaped like a serpentine spear, which is red with yellow in the middle. These colors make the spear look somewhat like a cooked strip of bacon. The upper half of the spear is more jagged than the bottom half, and the top of the spear is split into two tines that curve outward. Mega Emboar is known for using this spear in battle to both defend and strike down foes. During combat, Mega Emboar charges into the fray to rescue any imperiled allies from danger.

==Trivia==
[[File:Emboar Yellow Battle Chess.png|thumb|Emboar in Pokémon Battle Chess]]
* Emboar, {{p|Samurott}}, and {{p|Serperior}} all share the same base stat total of 528.
* In some games, the [[Pokédex]] states that Emboar can "throw a fire punch". However, this was first said in [[Pokémon Black and White Versions|Pokémon Black]], while Emboar was unable to learn the move {{m|Fire Punch}} until [[Pokémon Black and White Versions 2|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2]].
** In the Japanese version of the Pokédex entries, the "fire punch" is written as 「ほのおのパンチ」 (in the kanji version, the equivalent is 「炎のパンチ」). Except for the addition of a space, this is almost the same as 「ほのおのパンチ」 (the Japanese name of Fire Punch). Similarly, the English Pokédex text mentions "fire punch" in lowercase, while moves like "Fire Punch" are written in {{wp|title case}} instead.
* Emboar appears in {{DL|Pokémon Battle Chess|Pokémon Battle Chess BW Version}}. Along with {{p|Victini}}, it is the only piece that has its power raised when damaged. Also, along with {{p|Zoroark}}, Emboar doesn't behave like any traditional piece in chess.
* Emboar has the highest base {{stat|HP}} stat among all fully evolved [[first partner Pokémon]].
* Mega Emboar is the [[List of Pokémon with unique base stat totals|only Pokémon]] with a base stat total of 628.

===Origin===
Emboar is based on a boar. Additionally, [[Ken Sugimori]] has said that Tepig, Pignite, and Emboar were designed in a Chinese style, specifically mentioning the character of {{wp|Zhang Fei}} from ''{{wp|Romance of the Three Kingdoms}}'' as Emboar's inspiration.<ref name=ND201>''Nintendo Dream'' Vol. 201, January 2011 ([http://lavacutcontent.com/ken-sugimori-nintendo-dream-3/ Translation by Dr. Lava])</ref> Zhang Fei was assassinated by his own subordinates, and had his head severed and presented for the opposing faction, which may be alluded to in Emboar's design, as its head is "separated" from its body by a wreath of fire. The wreath of fire also resembles a cape or a scarf. Emboar may also be based on {{wp|Zhu Bajie}}, a pig demon from the Chinese tale ''{{wp|Journey to the West}}''. {{p|Serperior}}, Emboar, and {{p|Samurott}}'s evolutionary lines are collectively based on Western, Chinese, and Japanese culture respectively, to represent the diversity of the [[Unova]] region.<ref name=ND201/>

Appearance-wise, Emboar looks much like a {{wp|wild boar}} with elements of a {{wp|British Saddleback}} in a {{wp|wrestling singlet}}. The swirl pattern around its abdomen resembles the patterns on a ''{{wp|Ding (vessel)|ding}}'' or {{wp|Pottery of ancient Greece|ancient Greek pottery}}.

Emboar's Fighting typing might be a reference to {{wp|war pig}}s, more specifically incendiary pigs, a form of ancient warfare reported by a couple of Greek military writers.

Mega Emboar seems to emphasize the aforementioned inspiration from Zhang Fei, as he was said to own a "1.8 ''[[wp:Chi_(unit)|zhang]]'' long serpent spear", a weapon similar to the one Emboar obtains upon Mega Evolving.

====Name origin====
Emboar may be a combination of ''ember'', ''emperor'', and ''boar''.

Enbuoh may be a combination of 炎 ''en'' (flame), 豚 ''buta'' (pig), 武 ''bu'' (martial arts), ブー ''bū'' (oink), 王 ''ō'' (king), and possibly ''ember'' and ''boar''.

'''Pignite''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''チャオブー''' ''Chaoboo'') is a dual-type {{2t|Fire|Fighting}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation V]].

It [[Evolution|evolve]]s from {{p|Tepig}} starting at [[level]] 17 and evolves into {{p|Emboar}} starting at level 36.

==Biology==
Pignite is a bipedal, pig-like {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. Its chubby body is orange with brown bands around its shoulders, sides, belly, hands, and from the back of its head down its snout. Yellow bands encircle its wrists and swirled yellow designs bulge from its chest. It has a red pig-like nose, pointed ears, and two pointed teeth that protrude from its lower jaw. Its hands have two claws each, while its feet have only a single nail. Its tail is curled with a tuft of fur at the tip.

Pignite is willing to defend its friends from opponents, no matter how strong they are. It has a fire in its stomach, which it fuels with food. This fire can affect its body temperature. The intensity of this flame increases as fuel is added or when Pignite is angered. As the flame grows stronger, Pignite's speed increases. On occasion, Pignite's body temperature will go so high that it becomes engulfed by a scorching fireball. However, it has no strength remaining whenever it has an empty stomach. If in danger, it will blow out large smoke clouds to escape.

Prior to [[Generation VIII]], Pignite and its evolutionary relatives were the [[Signature Ability|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Heat Crash}}.

===Evolution===
Pignite evolves from {{p|Tepig}} and evolves into {{p|Emboar}}.

==Trivia==
* Pignite was revealed internationally in the opening ''{{so|Black and White}}''.
* Pignite was a popular fan name given to {{p|Tepig}} before either Pokémon's English name was officially revealed.


===Origin===
[[Ken Sugimori]] has said that Tepig, Pignite, and Emboar were designed in a Chinese style.<ref name=ND201/> Because of this, they may be based on {{wp|Zhu Bajie}}, a pig demon from the Chinese tale ''{{wp|Journey to the West}}''. {{p|Servine}}, Pignite, and {{p|Dewott}}'s evolutionary lines are collectively based on Western, Chinese, and Japanese culture respectively, to represent the diversity of the [[Unova]] region.<ref name=ND201>''Nintendo Dream'' Vol. 201, January 2011 ([http://lavacutcontent.com/ken-sugimori-nintendo-dream-3/ Translation by Dr. Lava])</ref>

Appearance-wise, Pignite looks much like a {{wp|British Saddleback}} with elements of a {{wp|wild boar}} in a {{wp|wrestling singlet}}. The swirls on its chest resemble the patterns on a {{wp|Ding (vessel)|ding}} or {{wp|Pottery of ancient Greece|ancient Greek pottery}}.

Pignite's Typing might be a reference to {{wp|war pig}}s, more specifically incendiary pigs, a form of ancient welfare reported by a couple Greek military writers.

====Name origin====
Pignite may be a combination of ''pig'' and ''ignite''. It may also be derived from ''lignite'', a low-grade coal.

Chaoboo may be a combination of 超 ''chāo'' (Chinese for super) or 炒 ''chǎo'' (Chinese for {{wp|stir frying|stir-fry}}) and 豚 ''buta'' (pig) or ブー ''bū'' (oink).

'''Meganium''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''メガニウム''' ''Meganium'') is a {{type|Grass}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation II]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Bayleef}} starting at [[level]] 32. It is the final form of {{p|Chikorita}}.

Meganium can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into '''Mega Meganium''' using the [[Meganiumite]]. Mega Meganium was introduced in [[Pokémon Legends: Z-A]].

==Biology==
Meganium is a quadrupedal, pale-green {{wp|reptile|reptilian}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that resembles a {{wp|sauropoda|sauropod}} {{wp|dinosaur}}. It has a long neck; yellow eyes; a short, blunt snout; and two {{wp|stamen}}-like antennae on top of its snout. The antennae are shorter on a female than on a male. Encircling Meganium's neck are large, pink flower petals with a yellow central pattern and white edges. It has three claws on each foot and a stubby tail.

Meganium's petals release an aroma that calms aggressive feelings and its breath has the power to revive dead grass and plants. Its soothing, regenerative powers can even affect those who stand nearby. Meganium tends to be very docile and is portrayed as a peacemaker in the {{aniseries|AG}} episode ''[[AG161|Odd Pokémon Out!]]''. It can rarely be found living in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Grassland Pokémon|grasslands}}. As mentioned in {{g|Sleep}}, many Pokémon tend to sleep peacefully side-by-side with Meganium.<ref>[[Sleep style|Sleep Style Dex]]</ref> The reason is fragrance given off by Meganium's flower sooths and calms emotions of any Pokémon fighting near it.

===Forms===
Meganium can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into Mega Meganium.

The singular six-petaled flower around Meganium's deck transforms into four flowers on Mega Meganium, which are colored, from top to bottom: red, dark pink, light pink, and white. The white flower has a red spiky pattern on three of its petals, branching radially from the center; the same pattern is present on the other three flowers, but colored white instead. The flowers on Mega Meganium are noticeably thicker than on regular Meganium. The bottoms of Mega Meganium's legs are covered in dark green frills that resemble leaves or foliage. The two stamen-like antennae on Meganium have transformed and fused into a V-shaped antenna on Mega Meganium, with each end curling near the tip.

Due to [[Mega Evolution]], Mega Meganium's {{type|Grass|Grass-type}} powers have significantly increased. Notably, it can unleash a highly powered {{m|Solar Beam}} from its four flowers — this move is also known as "Mega Sol Cannon."

===Evolution===
Meganium evolves from {{p|Bayleef}} and is the final form of {{p|Chikorita}}.

==Trivia==
* Bayleef and Meganium are the only Pokémon to have a one-point difference between their base Attack and Special Attack stats.
* Meganium's evolutionary line are the only [[first partner Pokémon]] evolutionary line to keep their Japanese voices in the English [[dub]] of the {{pkmn|animated series}}. This is due to them having nearly identical names in English and Japanese (with Meganium even being spelled identically to its official Japanese romanization).
* Meganium's design has slightly changed over the years. Its original design in {{v2|Gold and Silver|s}} had orange petals, round green inner petals, and florets around the base of the neck. In {{v|Crystal}}, Meganium's flower was changed to be closer to the modern design, save for a pair of stripes on each petal. These stripes would remain until their removal in {{v2|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}.

===Origin===
[[File:Spr 2d 153.png|200px|thumb|Hanamogura (ハナモグラ)]]
Meganium has the appearance of a {{wp|sauropoda|sauropod}}, particularly an ''{{wp|Apatosaurus}}''. Its flower seems to be based on a type of hybrid {{wp|daylily}} with ruffled edges and its long neck makes it similar to the ''{{wp|Amorphophallus titanum|titan arum}}''. It may also draw inspiration from {{wp|pelargonium|geraniums}}, as suggested by its name. Meganium's design may have also been influenced by ''{{wp|Aachenosaurus}}'', an ancient plant whose fossils were once believed to belong to a dinosaur. Its proportions and face resemble those of the herbivorous {{wp|Galápagos tortoises}}, with its neck flower resembling the way their shells open at the front.

The antennae on Meganium's head seem to be holdovers from Hanamogura (ハナモグラ), a prototype design for {{p|Bayleef}} found in the [[Pokémon Gold and Silver Spaceworld '97 demo]].

====Name origin====
Meganium may be a combination of ''mega'' and ''{{wp|geranium}}''.

'''Gourgeist''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''パンプジン''' ''Pumpjin'') is a dual-type {{2t|Ghost|Grass}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation VI]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Pumpkaboo}} when [[Trade Evolution|traded]].

Gourgeist has four different [[#Form data|forms]]: '''Small Variety''', '''Medium Variety''', '''Large Variety''', and '''Jumbo Variety'''. Prior to [[Pokémon Legends: Z-A]], these were instead named '''Small Size''', '''Average Size''', '''Large Size''', and '''Super Size''' respectively.

==Biology==
Gourgeist is a ghostly gourd-like {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that varies dramatically in size. Its body is a dark brown pumpkin with a glowing, yellow-orange face carved into the front and a pair of nubby legs. The face consists of two triangular eyes and a grinning mouth; on top of the mouth is a small, triangular cutout for a nose. Poking out of the top of the pumpkin is its slender brown-orange head, which has bright yellow eyes and a small mouth but no visible nose. Gourgeist has long, light pink hair with arm-like tendrils framing its face and bangs that usually cover one eye. On top of its head is a crescent-shaped tuft that is brown on top; this tuft resembles a pumpkin's stem. In the {{pkmn|animated series}}, Gourgeist has shown the ability to retract its upper body into the pumpkin, giving it the appearance of a traditional {{wp|jack-o'-lantern}}.

On the night of a new moon, Gourgeist wanders town streets while singing an eerie song. Those who hear its song will be cursed. It is also known to sing joyfully while observing prey it has entangled in its arms.

Gourgeist and its pre-evolved form {{p|Pumpkaboo}} are the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Trick-or-Treat}}.

===Forms===
Gourgeist has four separate forms: Small Size, Average Size, Large Size, and Super Size.

Gourgeist's four different sizes determine their target for who they take into the afterlife. Small Gourgeist prefers targeting adults by pretending to be children. The large Gourgeist prefers taking children by pretending to be adults. The Jumbo Gourgeist aren't picky and will target anyone.

===Form data===
Gourgeist have four different forms, each named after their respective size: Small Size, Average Size, Large Size, and Super Size.

Its size is maintained through [[Evolution]] from {{p|Pumpkaboo}} and cannot be changed. Gourgeist typically cannot be found in the {{pkmn2|wild}}, and its different forms can usually only be obtained by evolving Pumpkaboo, whose larger sizes are rarer to encounter. However, in {{g|Sword and Shield}}, Average Size Gourgeist can be found in the wild, and Gourgeist can also be encountered in [[Dynamax Adventure]]s.

Super Size Gourgeist have different, lower-pitched [[Cry|cries]] than the other forms, and were also the only Pokémon to have the XXL [[Size and weight variation#Pokémon GO|size designation]] in {{g|GO}} prior to the addition of XXL and XXS sizes for all species. The different sizes of Gourgeist do not use different menu sprites, except in {{g|HOME}}.

Previously, only Average Size and Super Size Gourgeist could have their [[Hidden Ability]] {{a|Insomnia}}. Average Size can be obtained with its Hidden Ability from the [[Friend Safari]], and Super Size could be obtained with its Hidden Ability from {{pkmn2|event}}s. Since Version 1.2.0 of {{g|Sword and Shield}}, all sizes can be obtained with their Hidden Abilities via [[Ability Patch]]es.

Each form has different [[base stats]]. With each increase in size, its base {{stat|HP}} stat increases by 10 points and its base {{stat|Attack}} stat increases by 5 points while its base {{stat|Speed}} stat decreases by 15 points. Consequently, its base stat total does not vary with size.

Gourgeist returned to Jessie's party in ''[[JN145|Rocket Revengers!]]''.

====Other====
Three Gourgeist appeared in ''[[XY082|A Festival Trade! A Festival Farewell?]]'', under the ownership of [[Count Pumpka's steward]]. They were commonly used by their {{pkmn|Trainer}} to carry out [[Count Pumpka]]'s bidding. All three were eventually defeated by [[Ash's Pikachu]], [[Clemont's Bunnelby]], and [[Serena's Braixen]].

A Gourgeist belonging to [[Diantha]] appeared in ''[[JN116|Pride of a Champion!]]''. She used it in her [[Masters Eight Tournament]] battle against {{an|Lance}}, where it defeated {{TP|Lance|Gyarados}}, before losing to {{p|Hydreigon}}.

==In the manga==

===Pokémon Adventures===
A Gourgeist appeared in ''[[PS567|Morphing Manectric]]'' under the ownership of [[Cassius]].
{{-}}

==In the TCG==
{{main|Gourgeist (TCG)}}
==Trivia==
===Origin===
Gourgeist appears to be based on {{wp|Calabash|bottle gourd}}s and {{wp|pumpkin}}s, specifically the ones carved into {{wp|jack-o'-lantern}}s for {{wp|Halloween}}. Gourgeist's behavior of knocking on people's front doors before whisking them away may reference {{wp|trick-or-treating}}. Its upper body may be based on the {{wp|candle}}s within jack-o'-lanterns themselves, with the curl resembling its wick and its hair-like extensions its dripping wax. Its ability to retract into and pop out of its pumpkin-like body may also be a reference to a {{wp|jack-in-the-box}}.

Gourgeist's appearance may be inspired by depictions of {{wp|Baba Yaga}} inside her flying mortar. Alternatively, it could have potential connections to the Japanese ghost story ''{{wp|Yotsuya Kaidan}}'', in which a woman transforms into a paper lantern {{wp|yōkai}} with long hair.

Gourgeist's different forms are likely inspired by the large variety of sizes in pumpkins, the largest ones possibly being a reference to the agricultural tradition of growing {{wp|giant pumpkin|incredibly large pumpkins}}.

====Name origin====
Gourgeist may be a combination of ''{{wp|gourd}}'' and ''{{wp|geist}}''.

Pumpjin may be a combination of ''pumpkin'' and 神 ''{{wp|Shen (Chinese religion)|shin}}'' (deity, spirit), 人 ''jin'' (man), or ''{{wp|jinn}}''.

'''Pumpkaboo''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''バケッチャ''' ''Bakeccha'') is a dual-type {{2t|Ghost|Grass}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation VI]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Gourgeist}} when [[Trade Evolution|traded]].

Pumpkaboo has four different [[#Form data|forms]]: '''Small Variety''', '''Medium Variety''', '''Large Variety''', and '''Jumbo Variety'''. Prior to [[Pokémon Legends: Z-A]], these were instead named '''Small Size''', '''Average Size''', '''Large Size''', and '''Super Size''' respectively.

==Biology==
[[File:Jessie Pumpkaboo flashing lights.png|thumb|left|250px|[[Jessie's Pumpkaboo]] flashing light from the holes in her body]]
Pumpkaboo is a ghostly pumpkin-like {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that varies dramatically in size. Encasing its lower body is a pinkish pumpkin with a pair of nubby legs. Carved into the pumpkin is a pair of circular holes that glow yellow-orange. Pumpkaboo's shadowy black body pokes out of the top of the pumpkin. It has glowing yellow eyes, a pair of fangs in its upper jaw, and pointed ears that curve slightly. On top of its head is a long tuft of fur that curls tightly at the tip. A collar of furry-looking tufts hangs over the edge of the pumpkin.

Pumpkaboo becomes active after dark. The holes in its body can glow and illuminate the way for travelers in the dark. It is said that it also carries wandering spirits to the afterlife by storing the spirits in its body. However, its own spirit is trapped in this world. Pumpkaboo can hypnotize and control any humans or Pokémon. It does this task by releasing streams of light from the holes in the pumpkin.

Pumpkaboo and its evolved form {{p|Gourgeist}} are the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Trick-or-Treat}}.

===Forms===
Pumpkaboo has four separate forms: Small Variety, Medium Variety, Large Variety, and Jumbo Variety.

The size of Pumpkaboo is said to be the product of the number of lost souls that lingered in the area where it was formed. When taking spirits to the afterlife, small Pumpkaboo prefer the spirits of children to those of adults. Supersized Pumpkaboo are very partial to the spirits of people who were of similarly superior proportions.

===Form data===
Pumpkaboo have four different forms, each named after their respective size: Small Variety, Medium Variety, Large Variety, and Jumbo Variety.

Its size is maintained through [[Evolution]] into {{p|Gourgeist}} and cannot be changed. Larger sizes of Pumpkaboo are rarer to encounter in the {{pkmn2|wild}}. [[Pokémon breeding|Bred]] Pumpkaboo are the same size as their mother, or the same size as the Pumpkaboo or Gourgeist parent if bred with {{p|Ditto}}.

In the wild, Jumbo Variety Pumpkaboo will always hold a [[Miracle Seed]], whereas other sizes will never hold an [[item]] in the wild. Jumbo Variety variants have different, lower-pitched [[Cry|cries]] than the other forms, and were also the only Pokémon to have the XXL [[Size and weight variation#Pokémon GO|size designation]] in {{g|GO}} prior to the addition of XXL and XXS sizes for all species. The different sizes of Pumpkaboo do not use different menu sprites, except in {{g|HOME}}.

Previously, only Medium Variety and Jumbo Variety Pumpkaboo could have their [[Hidden Ability]] {{a|Insomnia}}. Medium Variety can be obtained with its Hidden Ability from the [[Friend Safari]], and Jumbo Variety could be obtained with its Hidden Ability from {{pkmn2|event}}s. Since Version 1.2.0 of {{g|Sword and Shield}}, all sizes can be obtained with their Hidden Abilities via [[Ability Patch]]es.

Each form has different [[base stats]]. With each increase in size, Pumpkaboo's base {{stat|HP}} stat increases by 5 points, while its base {{stat|Speed}} stat decreases by 5 points. Consequently, its base stat total does not vary with size.

===Main series===
====Major appearances====
=====[[Jessie's Pumpkaboo]]=====
Pumpkaboo debuted in ''[[XY011|The Bamboozling Forest!]]'', where [[Jessie]] tripped over a Super Size Pumpkaboo in a forest. When she came out of the ground, she threw a {{i|Poké Ball}} at her and successfully {{pkmn2|caught}} her. She later evolved into a Gourgeist after being traded in ''[[XY082|A Festival Trade! A Festival Farewell?]]''.

=====Other=====
A Small Size Pumpkaboo named Prince Pumpkaboo appeared in ''[[XY082|A Festival Trade! A Festival Farewell?]]'', under the ownership of [[Count Pumpka]]. He fell in love with Jessie's Pumpkaboo and a trade was agreed on. However, when the trade caused Jessie's Pumpkaboo to evolve into Gourgeist, Prince Pumpkaboo rejected her.

====Minor appearances====
A Pumpkaboo appeared as an image in ''[[XY091|A Performance Pop Quiz!]]''.

A {{pkmn|Trainer}}'s Pumpkaboo appeared during a flashback in ''[[XYS05|The Legend of X, Y, and Z!]]''.

Multiple Pumpkaboo appeared in ''[[JN091|The Spectral Express!]]''.

===Pokémon Adventures===
{{adv|Blue}}'s Medium Variety Pumpkaboo appeared in ''[[PS582|Pinsir Glares]]'', where he was with [[Diantha]] underneath some rubble to hide from the [[ultimate weapon]]'s beam.

[[Aliana]]'s Pumpkaboo first appeared in ''[[PS591|Mewtwo Angered]]''.

A Pumpkaboo appeared in ''[[PASS29|GRRR!! The Irrepairable Gears]]'' during the [[Darkest Day]].
{{-}}

==In the TCG==
{{main|Pumpkaboo (TCG)}}
==Trivia==
===Origin===
Pumpkaboo appears to be based on a {{wp|pumpkin}}, specifically the ones carved into {{wp|jack-o'-lantern}}s for {{wp|Halloween}}. Considering its fangs, black upper body, and affiliation with Halloween, it may also be based on bats or black cats.

Pumpkaboo's different forms are likely inspired by the large variety of sizes in pumpkins, the largest ones possibly being a reference to the agricultural tradition of growing {{wp|giant pumpkin|incredibly large pumpkins}}.

====Name origin====
Pumpkaboo may be a combination of ''pumpkin'' and ''boo'' (a common word used to startle people) or ''{{wp|Peekaboo|peek-a-boo}}''.

Bakeccha may be a combination of お化け ''obake'' (ghost) and 南瓜 ''kabocha'' (pumpkin).

'''String Shot''' (Japanese: '''いとをはく''' ''Spit Thread'') is a non-damaging {{type|Bug}} [[move]] introduced in [[Generation I]].

==Effect==
===Generations I to II===
String Shot decreases the targets' {{stat|Speed}} stat by one stage.

In the Generation I and II [[core series]] games, when an in-game opponent outside of the {{gdis|Battle Tower|II}} uses String Shot, the move has a 25% chance to fail in addition to its normal chance to miss.

===Generations III to V===
In battles with multiple opponents, String Shot targets all adjacent foes.

String Shot can be used as the first move of a [[Contest combination|Pokémon Contest combination]], causing {{m|Spider Web}} to score double the normal appeal if used in the next turn.

===Generation VI onwards===
String Shot now decreases the targets' Speed stat by two stages.

String Shot can also be used as part of a [[Contest combination|Contest Spectacular combination]], causing any of the moves {{m|Electroweb}}, {{m|Spider Web}} and {{m|Sticky Web}} to give an extra three appeal points if used in the next turn.

If powered up by a [[Buginium Z]] into Z-String Shot, the user's {{stat|Speed}} stat is raised by one stage.

'''Falinks''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''タイレーツ''' ''Tairetsu'') is a {{type|Fighting}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation VIII]].

While it is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon, Falinks can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into '''Mega Falinks''' using the [[Falinksite]]. Mega Falinks was introduced in [[Pokémon Legends: Z-A]].

==Biology==
[[File:870Falinks Dream 5.png|220px|thumb|left|Falinks in the Column formation]]
Falinks is a group of small, bipedal {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. A single Falinks is a formation of six individuals, similar to {{p|Exeggcute}}. It consists of five troopers and a leader, known as "the brass". Falinks usually march in a single file line headed by the brass, giving their formation the appearance of a caterpillar. This formation is known as the Column formation. However, Falinks occasionally break their formation to attack.

The six members rely on teamwork as their strategy to win battles, and constantly change formation when they fight. The five troopers follow their brass loyally, and the brass's orders are considered absolute by them. Falinks are capable of fitting into small holes, as shown in {{rt|8|Galar}}, where they can be seen marching and charging through small caves and crevices. A common formation that the members change into is a form in which the troopers stand in a triangular formation around the brass, either in front of or behind it. This formation is known as the No Retreat formation, as the members stand in this formation when using the move {{m|No Retreat}}. In {{aniseries|JN}}, the six individual Falinks are shown to occasionally stand upon one another to execute certain moves. In {{g|UNITE}}, it is shown that the brass may also dispatch troopers to attack on their own, with this strategy being known as the Dispatch formation.

An individual Falinks trooper has a black, spherical body with two stout, trunk-like legs. They also have blue, ovular eyes which can either be interpreted as being white or glowing slightly from their dark body. Each trooper has a golden, armored shell resembling a Spartan helmet that covers their dorsal half. This shell is topped with a red horn that continues into a small crest. The lateral sides of the trooper are protected by two horned plates resembling shields. Each of these shields features a red, central horn ringed in white. Each trooper also has a small red horn on their posterior resembling a tail.

The Falinks brass is the largest, strongest, and most intelligent out of the six members. It has a larger crest with an extendable horn it uses to attack and issue orders. The horn is supported by a golden anterior strut absent in the troopers. The brass's golden shell extends to the ventral half of its body. Unlike its troopers, the brass's lateral shields can be opposed. The brass's shields are often chipped or nicked. When Falinks is marching in formation, the brass holds its two shields in front of its face.

Falinks is the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|No Retreat}}.

===Forms===
Falinks can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into Mega Falinks.

Unlike regular Falinks, the six members that form Mega Falinks become uneven in size. The brass and two of the troopers grow larger, with the brass being the largest. The members that form Mega Falinks arrange themselves in a humanoid formation — this is said to be its ultimate battle formation, and can only be achieved with strong bonds between the troopers and the brass. The brass of Mega Falinks gains four circular markings on the sides of its face, loses its back horn, and stands at the top of the humanoid formation as the "head". Two of the troopers form Mega Falinks's "arms": the right arm trooper grows a long horn like that of the brass, which functions as a spear, while the left arm trooper has a large shield atop its head. The upper formation is directly supported by a single trooper in the middle (bearing a seemingly pained expression because of this). The middle trooper's back horn is larger and further up its body, and it also has extended arms which it uses to hold up its shields for the brass to stand on; the shields themselves lose their horns and become all golden. The middle trooper is, in turn, supported by the bottom two troopers, which act as Mega Falinks's "legs". The bottom troopers are responsible for moving Mega Falinks around as they scuttle on their tiny feet; the formation does not "step" when walking.

==Trivia==
* Falinks is the only {{type|Fighting}} Pokémon in the {{egg|Mineral}} [[Egg Group]], and the only Fighting-type Pokémon [[List of Pokémon by shape#Pokémon consisting of multiple bodies|to consist of multiple bodies]].
* Despite {{stat|Special Defense}} being its lowest stat, Falinks awards Special Defense {{EV}}s when it is defeated.
* Falinks was designed by [[Yusuke Kozaki]].<ref>[https://twitter.com/kymg/status/1341384533459910656 Tweet by コザキユースケ/Yusuke Kozaki (@kymg).] Posted on December 22, 2020.</ref>
* As seen in ''[[JN073|Grabbing the Brass Ring!]]'', Falinks troopers have the ability to mimic the [[cry]] of other Pokémon.
* Falinks is the only Pokémon introduced in [[Generation VIII]] that is capable of [[Mega Evolution]].
** Falinks is also the only Pokémon capable of Mega Evolution to be introduced after the mechanic was initially removed from the core series.

===Origin===
Falinks may be inspired by groups of soldiers in {{wp|phalanx}} formations, where each unit is lined up close together and cover all sides with their shields, which Falinks's limbs resemble. Their heads resemble {{wp|Corinthian helmet}}s worn by hoplites during the period of {{wp|Ancient Greece}}, adorned with golden plates and red crests. It may also be inspired by the {{wp|Legio IX Hispana}}, also known as the 9th Roman Legion or the Lost Legion, which mysteriously disappeared in Britain around 120 AD. Falinks' presence in the [[Paldea Pokédex]] may be a reference to the Legio IX Hispana itself. Its Paldea Pokédex number being #300 may be a reference to the {{wp|Battle of Thermopylae}}, where {{wp|Leonidas I}} kept 300 {{wp|Spartan}}s in his army to guard their retreat after dismissing the bulk of the Greek army.

It may also take inspiration from {{wp|eusociality}}, a kind of social animal behavior found in certain insects, crustaceans, and mammals characterized by, among other things, the division of labor of the members of the colony, which are sometimes called castes, like soldiers, workers, and the queen. In Falinks's case, the castes are the troopers and the brass.

In addition, Falinks is likely a visual pun on an admiral caterpillar.

Mega Falinks' conjoined humanoid appearance is likely based on depictions of combining {{wp|mecha}}.

====Name origin====
Falinks may be a combination of ''{{wp|phalanx}}'', ''family'', ''link'' (chain link), and ''"fall in"'' (fall in line).

Tairetsu may be derived from 隊列 ''tairetsu'' (a rank or formation of troops).

'''Hawlucha''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ルチャブル''' ''Luchabull'') is a dual-type {{2t|Fighting|Flying}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation VI]].

While it is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon, Hawlucha can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into '''Mega Hawlucha''' using the [[Hawluchanite]]. Mega Hawlucha was introduced in [[Pokémon Legends: Z-A]].

==Biology==
Hawlucha is a bipedal, birdlike {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with colorful plumage. Its head curves into a beak-shape in the front, but its mouth is located in a white patch under the beak's curve. It has a blue-green mask-like marking across its face, an orange blaze running from its forehead to the back of its neck, an orange ring around each eye, and a small, red patch at the tip of its beak. There is black space around its eyes, which are yellow with paler yellow sclerae. On the back of its head are three rectangular, tassel-like feathers. Its red, cape-like wings have blue-green undersides and are connected to its feathery tail. Near the tip of each wing is a three-clawed hand. Its front is white with a line of red along its neck and the top of its chest. It has small, yellow feet with three toes each.

This forest-dwelling Pokémon prefers to live a quiet and solitary life, which makes the noisy {{p|Primeape}} its natural enemy. Despite its small body, Hawlucha's proficiency in fighting allows it to keep up with bigger fighters, such as {{p|Machamp}} and {{p|Hariyama}}. It overwhelms its opponents with quick and nimble moves, exploiting their blind spots and controlling its position in the air with its wings. One of its favorite tactics is to strike from above, because it is difficult for opponents to defend against. Once its foe is driven to exhaustion, Hawlucha is compelled to show off with a flashy finishing move, which it has practiced in the forests it calls home. However, opponents can sometimes exploit its vanity to gain the upper hand.

Hawlucha is the [[signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Flying Press}} by leveling up.

===Forms===
Hawlucha can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into Mega Hawlucha.

Mega Hawlucha is considerably bulkier compared to Hawlucha, thanks to the energy of Mega Evolution coursing through its muscles.<ref name=ZAsite>[https://legends.pokemon.com/en-us/story-world/pokemon/mega-hawlucha Pokémon Legends: Z-A | Mega Hawlucha] — Pokémon Official Website</ref> Its face is black with a gold arrow-like pattern running down from the top, a gold coloration at its snout, and gold eyelash-like decorations around its blank white eyes, giving the impression of a luchador mask. Its head feathers have become longer, and it gains more plumage around its neck, legs (resembling shin guards), and waist (forming a "belt" around it). Its wings have also become sharper and more curved in shape. The three central plumes on its wings have an elaborate black-and-gold patterning on the back at their tips. Mega Hawlucha gains a large, golden chestplate with black stripes around the edges that covers its shoulders and forearms.

Mega Evolution increases Hawlucha's attacking and defensive capabilities, allowing it to use its muscles to tank hits from opponents' moves. It enjoys flexing to show off its newfound strength. Mega Hawlucha's heightened defense also allows it to showboat and display its toughness and beauty, holding out its hands and spreading its wings without worrying about letting its guard down. By luring its opponent into attacking, it is able to retaliate with a flinch-inducing move before diving at them with its signature move.<ref name=ZAsite/>

* Hawlucha is the only {{type|Flying}} Pokémon in the {{egg3|Human-Like}}.
** As of [[Generation IX]], it is the only Pokémon that is in both the {{egg|Human-Like}} and {{egg|Flying}} Egg Groups.
* Mega Hawlucha was first revealed in a short video titled "[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RYCOc3SiU7A FULL MATCH: Hawlucha vs. Machamp!]", which was released on August 28, 2025.

===Origin===
Hawlucha appears to be based on a combination of a {{wp|bird of prey}} (its English name suggests it is based on a {{wp|hawk}}) and a {{wp|lucha libre|luchador}}, and may also draw inspiration from Aztec {{wp|eagle warrior}}s. The clawed wings resemble those of a juvenile {{wp|hoatzin}}, and its coloration may be based on the male {{wp|resplendent quetzal}}. Hawlucha's green, white and red color scheme may be inspired by the {{wp|flag of Mexico}}, which fits its lucha libre inspiration. Its eagle-like design and the gold color on Mega Hawlucha may be inspired by the {{wp|golden eagle}} featured on the flag. Hawlucha debuting in the [[Kalos]] region may be a reference to {{wp|wrestling mask|masked wrestling}} originating in {{wp|Paris}}.


Mega Hawlucha's face resembles various designs of {{wp|wrestling mask|luchador masks}}. The thin head feathers and covered eyes may also be inspired by {{wp|falconry training and technique|falconry hoods}}. The covered eyes may also be inspired by {{wp|nictitating membrane|nictitating membranes}}. Mega Hawlucha may also take further inspiration from Aztec culture, with ornamentation resembling Aztec ceremonial garb.

====Name origin====
Hawlucha may be a combination of ''hawk'' and ''{{wp|lucha libre}}'', a form of Latin American professional wrestling.

Luchabull may be a combination of ''lucha libre'' and ''bull''.

'''Barbaracle''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ガメノデス''' ''Gamenodes'') is a dual-type {{2t|Rock|Water}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation VI]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Binacle}} starting at [[level]] 39.

Barbaracle can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into '''Mega Barbaracle''' using the [[Barbaracite]]. Mega Barbaracle was introduced in [[Pokémon Legends: Z-A]].

==Biology==
Barbaracle is a bipedal {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} comprising seven individual {{p|Binacle}} units, multiplied from two through [[Evolution]]. Its body consists of two gray rocks connected to each other by the main Binacle unit, which serves as both its waist and head. The head is brown and resembles a semi-opened left hand; there are four clawed fingers on top and a clawed thumb on its right cheek. Its face is orange with two eyes but no other distinguishable features. The other six Binacle protrude from the rocks, with four acting as arms and two acting as legs. Each arm is orange, with a brown hand with a single eye in the center of the palm, four long claws, and a brown band around the middle. The legs are also orange but have two brown bands and brown feet, with four claws and a four-pointed star on the soles.

Each limb that forms Barbaracle thinks for itself and moves independently, though they usually follow the head's orders. In an emergency, the limbs may act without orders from the head in order to defeat its enemies. Since each of its hands has an eye, Barbaracle is able to see in all directions at once.

===Forms===
Barbaracle can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into Mega Barbaracle.

The power of Mega Evolution causes the Binacle units to multiply even further — there are 11 distinct Binacle units that form Mega Barbaracle, being its head, eight arms, and two legs. The rocks that the units reside in have also grown larger, with deep cracks running through and black spikes protruding from the tops of the rocks. The head of Mega Barbaracle is black, with an orange face and red pupils. It has five horns on its head, which are white with orange stripes near the base. The horns are arranged like a hand: four of the horns are located at the top of its head, two extending upward and the other two jutting towards the front, while the fifth horn is located on Mega Barbaracle's right cheek as a "thumb".

Mega Barbaracle's waist and limbs are all orange with a singular, zig-zag, black band circling each limb. The legs have black feet with three white toes, the center one cloven in two. The arms have black hands, each one having a single red eye and four claws, two of which are conjoined in the middle. Mega Barbaracle uses its many arms to mess with its opponents, keeping the head busy.

===Evolution===
Barbaracle evolves from {{p|Binacle}}.

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

==Trivia==
===Origin===
Barbaracle seems to be based on the {{wp|goose barnacle}}, due to their general shape and use of a connective "stalk" to cling to rocks. Considering one "main" Barbaracle survives together with others, it may possibly reference the rarer, same species {{wp|symbiosis}}, in particular conjunctive symbiosis due to their fusion into a single body. Considering its hand-like limbs and bodies, and its eyes within its many hands' "palms", it may have also been based on the {{wp|hamsa}}. Its limbs having minds of their own may be a reference to {{wp|alien hand syndrome}}. Barbaracle having numerous eyes across various parts of the body may possibly be a reference to various mythological entities with a myriad of eyes such as the Greek giant {{wp|Argus Panoptes|Argus}} and Japanese legends such as the {{wp|List of legendary creatures from Japan|Hyakume}} or the {{wp|Dodomeki}}.

Mega Barbaracle's head evokes the {{wp|sign of the horns}}, a gesture in close association with both heavy metal and Judeo-Christian faith. Its ritualistic application in warding off the ''[[wp:Evil_eye|malocchio]]'' ("evil eye"), a supernatural malevolent glare prominent in Jewish rabbinic literature, may serve to represent the head's dominion over the rest of its colony's stalked eyes. The sign's alternate name, "rock on," may also double as a pun towards Barbaracle's Rock typing. Its design might also be based on mythological creatures such as the {{wp|Hecatoncheires}}, {{wp|Gegeenes}}, or {{wp|Asura (Buddhism)|Asuras}} which are portrayed with many arms as well. Some of these creatures also have many heads, which the new Binacle units technically double as despite mainly functioning as arms.

====Name origin====
Barbaracle may be a combination of ''barbaric'' and ''barnacle''.

Gamenodes may be a combination of 亀の手 ''kame-no-te'' ({{wp|Capitulum mitella|Japanese goose barnacle}}) and ''death''.

'''Extreme Speed''' (Japanese: '''しんそく''' ''Swiftness''), formatted as '''ExtremeSpeed''' prior to [[Pokémon X and Y]], is a damage-dealing {{type|Normal}} [[move]] introduced in [[Generation II]]. Prior to [[Pokémon Crystal Version]], it was the [[signature move]] of {{p|Arcanine}}.

==Effect==
===Generation II to IV===
ExtremeSpeed inflicts damage. It has a [[priority]] of +1, so is used before all moves that do not have increased priority.

===Generation V onwards===
Extreme Speed now has +2 priority.

==Description==
{{movedesc|Normal}}
{{movedescentry|{{gameabbrevss|Stad2}}|An attack that always strikes first. It can be learned by only a few {{ScPkmn}}.}}
{{movedescentry|{{gameabbrev2|GSC}}|A powerful first-strike move.}}

===[[Super Smash Bros.]] series===
{{SSB|Lucario}} uses {{sbw|Extreme Speed}} as its up special. When activated, Lucario performs a quick dash. Moving in different directions alters which directions Lucario will move.

In [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]], this move did no damage and moved at a set distance. In [[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U]] and [[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]], in addition to doing damage, as Lucario builds up more [[aura]], the move travels farther and does more damage.

==={{g|UNITE}}===
In Pokémon UNITE, Extreme Speed is {{p|Dragonite}}'s and {{p|Lucario}}'s first move.

Dragonite can obtain the move by evolving into {{p|Dragonair}} at level 5 and upgrading {{m|Twister}} into it instead of {{m|Dragon Dance}}. The user dashes toward the designated enemy, damaging and slowing all enemies in a small radius around the target upon impact, throwing the primary target and shoving others away. Using this move resets the cooldown of Multiscale. At level 11, this move also negates any movement speed decrease the user may have before the move is used.

Lucario can obtain the move by reaching level 5 and upgrading {{m|Quick Attack}} into it instead of {{m|Power-Up Punch}}. The user dashes forward, damaging all enemies hit and healing the user for each enemy hit. The first enemy hit will reset the cooldown of Extreme Speed. This effect cannot occur on the same target more than once every 10 seconds. Attacking immediately after the dash will perform a unique attack in an area dealing 75% Atk and can critically hit. At level 11, the move increases the user's Attack by 15% for a short period of time after use.

'''Heat Crash''' (Japanese: '''ヒートスタンプ ''' ''Heat Stamp'') is a damage-dealing {{type|Fire}} [[move]] introduced in [[Generation V]]. Prior to [[Generation VIII]], it was the [[signature move]] of {{p|Tepig}}'s [[evolution]]ary line. It was [[TR88]] in Generation VIII, and is [[TM189]] in [[Generation IX]].

==Effect==
===Generation V===
Heat Crash deals damage. Its [[power]] depends on the [[weight]] of both the user and the target; the greater the difference between the user's weight and the target's weight, the greater the power:

{| class="roundy" style="background: #{{Fire color light}}; border: 3px solid #{{Fire color}}"
! style="{{roundytl|5px}}" | Target's relative weight
! style="{{roundytr|5px}}" | Power
|- style="background:#FFF"
| More than 50%
| 40
|- style="background:#FFF"
| 33.35% - 50%
| 60
|- style="background:#FFF"
| 25.01% - 33.34%
| 80
|- style="background:#FFF"
| 20.01% - 25%
| 100
|- style="background:#FFF"
| 20% or less
| 120
|}

===Generation VI onwards===
If the target has used {{m|Minimize}}, Heat Crash now deals double its regular damage and bypasses {{stat|accuracy}} checks to always hit, unless the target is in the [[semi-invulnerable turn]] of a move such as {{m|Dig}} or {{m|Fly}}.

Heat Crash will fail against a [[Dynamax]]ed target.

===Generation VIII===
====Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl====
Heat Crash cannot be selected in a battle.

'''Bonemerang''' (Japanese: '''ホネブーメラン''' ''Bone Boomerang'') is a damage-dealing {{type|Ground}} [[multistrike move]] introduced in [[Generation I]]. It is one of the [[signature move]]s of {{p|Cubone}} and {{p|Marowak}}.

==Effect==
===Generation I===
Bonemerang inflicts damage, hitting the target twice per use. Although only the first strike can be a [[critical hit]], the second one will deal the same amount of damage.

Bonemerang will end immediately if the first strike breaks a {{OBP|substitute|doll}}. {{m|Bide}} will only acknowledge the second strike of this move.

===Generation II===
Each strike now does damage independently, consequently enabling either of them to be critical. Bonemerang will now hit again if the first strike breaks a substitute.

If the user is holding a [[King's Rock]], the final strike has a chance to cause the opponent to [[flinch]].

===Generations III and IV===

If the user is holding a [[King's Rock]] or [[Razor Fang]], each consecutive hit has an equal chance to cause the opponent to [[flinch]].

Bonemerang can be used as the first move of a [[Contest combination|Pokémon Contest combination]], causing {{m|Bone Club}} and {{m|Bone Rush}} to score double the normal appeal if used in the next turn. It can also be used to finish a combination, with the user gaining 4 bonus appeal points if {{m|Bone Club}} or {{m|Bone Rush}} was used in the previous turn.

===Generations V to VII===
If a [[Focus Sash]] activates before the last strike is dealt, the following strike will cause the defending Pokémon to faint. A [[Focus Band]] can still activate repeatedly to prevent fainting, but each chance is independent. {{a|Sturdy}} will activate with each hit if the defending Pokémon has a maximum HP of 1.

If the target has {{a|Weak Armor}} or {{a|Stamina}}, each strike will activate it.

===Generation VIII===
In Versions 1.0 to 1.1.1 of {{g|Sword and Shield}}, Bonemerang could not be selected in a battle. Starting with Version 1.2.0, it can be selected and functions as it did in previous generations.

===Generation IX===
Bonemerang cannot be selected in a battle.

'''Heal Block''' (Japanese: '''かいふくふうじ''' ''Recovery Block'') is a non-damaging {{type|Psychic}} [[move]] introduced in [[Generation IV]]. It is [[TM097]] in {{g|Legends: ZA}}.

==Effect==
Heal Block restricts the targets from healing in certain ways for five turns.

Affected Pokémon are unable to use {{cat|status moves that heal the user immediately}}, {{m|Wish}}, {{m|Lunar Dance}}, {{m|Healing Wish}}, {{m|Heal Pulse}}, {{m|Floral Healing}}, or target an ally with {{m|Pollen Puff}}. These Pokémon are also unable to be targeted by Heal Pulse, Floral Healing, or an ally's Pollen Puff, or healed by {{m|Wish}} (even if Wish was used successfully before the Heal Block). They can still use {{m|Present}}, {{m|Ingrain}}, {{m|Aqua Ring}}, and {{m|Grassy Terrain}}, but cannot be healed by the effects of these moves.

If a Pokémon had already selected one of the blocked moves to use before being affected by Heal Block, it is prevented from using it and [[PP]] will not be deducted.

If a Pokémon cannot use any moves when selecting a move to use due to Heal Block (e.g., due to knowing no other moves that have PP, [[Choice Band]], etc.), it will use {{m|Struggle}}. Restricted moves can still be called by {{cat|moves that call other moves}} (such as {{m|Metronome}}), but they are prevented from being used.

|}

If an affected Pokémon uses {{cat|HP-draining moves}}, they still inflict damage but are unable to restore [[HP]]. The user still takes damage if the target has {{a|Liquid Ooze}}.

A Pokémon affected by Heal Block is still able to use {{m|Leech Seed}}, causing the target to become [[seeding|seeded]]. However, {{m|Sappy Seed}} and Heal Block do not interact because they are not available in the same core series games. The seeded Pokémon still takes damage every turn as usual, regardless of the seeder being affected by Heal Block. As long as the user of Leech Seed (or the Pokémon who replaced it in the same spot) is affected by Heal Block, no HP will be restored, but it will still take damage if the seeded Pokémon has {{a|Liquid Ooze}}.

Heal Block can be reflected by {{a|Magic Bounce}}.

Heal Block's effect can be transferred via {{m|Baton Pass}}.

===Generation IV===
All Abilities and items which restore HP during battle continue to work as usual.

===Generations V to VII===
Affected Pokémon can no longer be healed by [[Black Sludge]], [[Leftovers]], or [[Shell Bell]]. Affected Pokémon will no longer consume held {{cat|HP-restoring Berries}} or [[Berry Juice]]. If an affected Pokémon consumes an HP-restoring Berry via {{m|Fling}}, {{m|Bug Bite}}, or {{m|Pluck}}, it will not have its HP restored.

Affected Pokémon with the Ability {{a|Dry Skin}} or {{a|Water Absorb}} will take no damage from {{type|Water}} moves, but will not be healed by them either. Affected Pokémon with the Ability {{a|Volt Absorb}} will take no damage from {{type|Electric}} moves, but will not be healed by them either. Affected Pokémon with the Ability Dry Skin or {{a|Rain Dish}} are prevented from healing during [[rain]]. Affected Pokémon with the Ability {{a|Ice Body}} are prevented from healing during {{OBP|hail|weather condition}}, but are not damaged by it either. Affected Pokémon with the ability {{a|Poison Heal}} will not be healed or damaged if they are {{status|poisoned}}. Affected Pokémon with the Ability {{a|Cheek Pouch}} will not be healed after eating a [[Berry]].

Heal Block will not prevent Pokémon with the Ability {{a|Regenerator}} from having their HP restored upon switching out.

Affected Pokémon can still restore HP using the Z-Power effects of status [[Z-Move]]s. Heal Block cannot prevent a Pokémon from using or being healed by any Z-Move, including moves like Z-{{m|Soft-Boiled}} and Z-{{m|Heal Pulse}}.

If powered up by a [[Psychium Z]] into Z-Heal Block, the user's {{stat|Special Attack}} stat rises by two stages.

===Generation VIII===
Heal Block cannot be selected in a battle.

===Generation IX===
====Pokémon Scarlet and Violet====
Heal Block cannot be selected in a battle.
====Pokémon Legends: ZA====
Heal Block can be selected again.

Heal Block has a [[cooldown]] of 12 seconds.

'''Emboar''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''エンブオー''' ''Enbuoh'') is a dual-type {{t|Fire}}/{{t|Fighting}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation V]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Pignite}} starting at [[level]] 36. It is the final form of {{p|Tepig}}.

Emboar can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into '''Mega Emboar''' using the [[Emboarite]]. Mega Emboar was introduced in [[Pokémon Legends: Z-A]].

==Biology==
Emboar is a bulky, bipedal {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with pig-like features. It has a red nose, large bushy black eyebrows, and two tusks protruding from its lower jaw. Constantly burning flames cover the front of its neck and shoulders. The fire beard comes from the body flame within its body. It has short legs and thick arms. Its arms have orange upper portions while the legs have red upper portions. All of its limbs have black lower portions with thin yellow lines where the upper and lower colors meet. These lines are straight on the arms and spiked on the legs. The arms have red lines around the wrists and tufts of fur on the elbows. The hands are tipped with three claws, while the feet have two claws. A large, dark horizontal stripe on the chest of Emboar has swirled yellow markings. Its small tail ends in a tuft of hair.

Using the wreath of flames on its neck and shoulders, Emboar will set its hands on fire. It uses its power and speed to master fighting moves. This power can be increased when Emboar's neck flame intensifies. The more dire the situation is, the more excited Emboar becomes to the point of enjoying itself. Though very tough and relentless when fighting, it shows deep affection for those it considers friends. It can also unleash powerful blasts of fire using only its nose and cloak its body in a fire to use many powerful attacks.

Prior to [[Generation VIII]], Emboar and its pre-evolved forms were the [[Signature Ability|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Heat Crash}}.

===Evolution===
Emboar evolves from {{p|Pignite}} and is the final form of {{p|Tepig}}.

=====Other=====
Emboar debuted in [[M14|''White—Victini and Zekrom'' and ''Black—Victini and Reshiram'']], under the ownership of [[Tatsuki]]. It battled and lost to [[Ash's Oshawott]] during [[Eindoak Town]]'s Harvest Festival battle tournament. [[Iris's Emolga]] also battled the Mega Fire Pig Pokémon, but Emolga used {{m|Volt Switch}} and sent out {{TP|Iris|Excadrill}} instead, causing {{an|Iris}}'s loss since substitutions were not allowed during the tournament battles.

In ''[[BW077|Evolution by Fire!]]'', [[Shamus]]'s Emboar and {{p|Heatmor}} faced off against {{Ash}}'s {{p|Tepig}} and {{AP|Snivy}} in a [[Double Battle]]. It eventually ended when Tepig evolved into {{AP|Pignite}}, which single-handedly defeated both.

==Trivia==
[[File:Emboar Yellow Battle Chess.png|thumb|Emboar in Pokémon Battle Chess]]
* Emboar, {{p|Samurott}}, and {{p|Serperior}} all share the same base stat total of 528.
* In some games, the [[Pokédex]] states that Emboar can "throw a fire punch". However, this was first said in [[Pokémon Black and White Versions|Pokémon Black]], while Emboar was unable to learn the move {{m|Fire Punch}} until [[Pokémon Black and White Versions 2|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2]].
** In the Japanese version of the Pokédex entries, the "fire punch" is written as 「ほのおのパンチ」 (in the kanji version, the equivalent is 「炎のパンチ」). Except for the addition of a space, this is almost the same as 「ほのおのパンチ」 (the Japanese name of Fire Punch). Similarly, the English Pokédex text mentions "fire punch" in lowercase, while moves like "Fire Punch" are written in {{wp|title case}} instead.
* Emboar appears in {{DL|Pokémon Battle Chess|Pokémon Battle Chess BW Version}}. Along with {{p|Victini}}, it is the only piece that has its power raised when damaged. Also, along with {{p|Zoroark}}, Emboar doesn't behave like any traditional piece in chess.
* Emboar has the highest base {{stat|HP}} stat among all fully evolved [[first partner Pokémon]].
* Mega Emboar is the [[List of Pokémon with unique base stat totals|only Pokémon]] with a base stat total of 628.

===Origin===
Emboar is based on a boar. Additionally, [[Ken Sugimori]] has said that Tepig, Pignite, and Emboar were designed in a Chinese style, specifically mentioning the character of {{wp|Zhang Fei}} from ''{{wp|Romance of the Three Kingdoms}}'' as Emboar's inspiration.<ref name=ND201>''Nintendo Dream'' Vol. 201, January 2011 ([http://lavacutcontent.com/ken-sugimori-nintendo-dream-3/ Translation by Dr. Lava])</ref> Zhang Fei was assassinated by his own subordinates, and had his head severed and presented for the opposing faction, which may be alluded to in Emboar's design, as its head is "separated" from its body by a wreath of fire. The wreath of fire also resembles a cape or a scarf. Emboar may also be based on {{wp|Zhu Bajie}}, a pig demon from the Chinese tale ''{{wp|Journey to the West}}''. {{p|Serperior}}, Emboar, and {{p|Samurott}}'s evolutionary lines are collectively based on Western, Chinese, and Japanese culture respectively, to represent the diversity of the [[Unova]] region.<ref name=ND201/>

Appearance-wise, Emboar looks much like a {{wp|wild boar}} with elements of a {{wp|British Saddleback}} in a {{wp|wrestling singlet}}. The swirl pattern around its abdomen resembles the patterns on a ''{{wp|Ding (vessel)|ding}}'' or {{wp|Pottery of ancient Greece|ancient Greek pottery}}.

Emboar's Fighting typing might be a reference to {{wp|war pig}}s, more specifically incendiary pigs, a form of ancient warfare reported by a couple of Greek military writers.

====Name origin====
Emboar may be a combination of ''ember'', ''emperor'', and ''boar''.

Enbuoh may be a combination of 炎 ''en'' (flame), 豚 ''buta'' (pig), 武 ''bu'' (martial arts), ブー ''bū'' (oink), 王 ''ō'' (king), and possibly ''ember'' and ''boar''.

'''Nihil Light''' (Japanese: '''無に帰す光''' ''Light That Returns to Nothing'') is a damage-dealing {{type|Dragon}} [[move]] introduced in [[Generation IX]], in {{g|Legends: Z-A}}. It is the [[signature move]] of [[Mega Evolution|Mega]] {{p|Zygarde}}.

==Effect==
Nihil Light deals damage and ignores any stat changes affecting its targets. It also bypasses {{type|Fairy}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}'s immunity to {{type|Dragon}} [[move]]s.

Nihil Light has a [[cooldown]] of 15 seconds.

==Description==

===Special move===
If {{p|Zygarde}} Complete Forme knows {{m|Core Enforcer}} while [[Mega Evolve]]s into Mega Zygarde, Core Enforcer will become Nihil Light for the duration of the [[Pokémon battle|battle]].

==In other generations==

==Trivia==
* Nihil Light is the only new [[move]] introduced in [[Pokémon Legends: Z-A]].
* The Japanese move of Nihil Light uses {{wp|kanji}}, which is similar to some [[signature move|signature]] [[Z-Move]]s.
** Specifically, this move is similar to {{m|Light That Burns the Sky}}, which can be only used when {{p|Necrozma}} changes its form into Ultra Necrozma, similar to Zygarde Complete that needs to [[Mega Evolve]] into Mega Zygarde in order to use Nihil Light.
* Nihil Light is the only move that is exclusively usable by a [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolved]] Pokémon.
* Nihil Light is tied with a {{m|Devastating Drake}} based on {{m|Roar of Time}} for the highest base [[power]] of all {{type|Dragon}} [[move]]s.

'''Mawile''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''クチート''' ''Kucheat'') is a dual-type {{2t|Steel|Fairy}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation III]]. Prior to [[Generation VI]], it was a pure {{type|Steel}} Pokémon.

While it is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon, Mawile can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into '''Mega Mawile''' using the [[Mawilite]].

==Biology==
Mawile is a short, bipedal, humanoid {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with a pale yellow body. Its three-fingered hands and two-toed feet are black. It has red eyes and a pair of long, black, ear-like extensions on either side of its head. Its legs resemble a {{wp|hakama}}. Its most notable feature is a pair of large black jaws emerging from the back of its head. These jaws have a yellow, oval-shaped spot on their top surface. They contain ten sharp, metallic teeth—six on the top row and four on the bottom. While the jaws are actually transformed steel horns, Mawile can articulate them at will, using them to bite enemies with enough force to break an iron beam. These jaws are incapable of tasting, leading Mawile to use them to eat food it does not like.

Mawile is typically found in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Cave Pokémon|caves}}. It uses its non-threatening facial appearance to make foes underestimate it, then attacks with its giant jaws, sometimes swallowing its prey whole. When engaged in battle, Mawile usually has its back turned to the enemy to make better use of its jaws. As mentioned in [[Sleep style|Sleep Style Dex]], Mawile tends to sleep while hugging its jaws occasionally. It is unknown whether it's a trap or not, unless one takes a closer look. Mawile has four different sleep styles it sleeps in: ''Flattened Sleep'', ''Jaw-Swinging Sleep'', ''Jaw-Hugging Sleep'', and ''Atop-Belly Sleep''.

===Forms===
Mawile can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into Mega Mawile.

Mega Mawile now has two sets of jaws protruding from the back of its head, and both sets have a spiky tuft of hair. It also seems to be able to control the jaws independently of one another.<ref>http://www.pokemonxy.com/en-us/pokemon/mega_pokemon/#Mawile</ref> The ear-like extensions on its head are longer and have tips with two points. Its legs have grown longer, and its "hakama" is now magenta. Its arms now resemble thick sleeves, with magenta markings around the wrists. Mega Mawile's strength has {{a|Huge Power|dramatically risen}} from its previous form, and it can use both its jaws to grip on prey and tear them apart. These jaws thrash around violently.

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

== Others ==

=== [[MELLOMELLOID]] ===
Mawile, alongside many other Fairy-type Pokémon, appears in the music video for the song "[https://youtu.be/TFpizvPDbec?si=kju3QG_MwE3uGTpx MELLOMELLOID]" ('''メロメロイド)''', composed by Vocaloid producer Kairiki Bear for the [[Pokémon feat. Hatsune Miku Project VOLTAGE 18 Types/Songs]]. Mawile's cute nature concealing its large jaws is reflected in the song through an idol who acts cutesy and friendly in order to trick a romantic partner close to her, before revealing her true nature, showing that she has been lying all this time to trap someone. The symbolism is further reinforced by Miku's twintails and color palette being stylized to ressemble Mawile's jaw, and later on Mega Mawile's two jaws.

==Trivia==
* Mawile's [[footprint]] is different between the [[Generation III]] {{pkmn|games}} ([[File:F303gen3.png]]) and the [[Generation IV]] games ([[File:F303.png]]).
* Since Mawile's back faces its opponent in battles, it uniquely uses its "back" sprite in [[Pokémon Musical]]s.
* Mawile seems to be the counterpart of {{p|Sableye}}. Both of them are [[version-exclusive Pokémon]] of {{2v2|Ruby|Sapphire}}, {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, {{pkmn|Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire}}, {{pkmn|Sword and Shield}}, and {{2v2|Brilliant Diamond|Shining Pearl}}, found in the same locations in each paired version. They have the same [[HP]], {{stat|Speed}}, and [[base stats|base stat totals]]. Both Pokémon also have [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolved]] forms.
* Prior to gaining the {{type|Fairy}}, Mawile was the first pure {{type|Steel}} Pokémon to be introduced.
* As of [[Pokémon Legends: Z-A]], Mawile receives additional [[base stats|base stat]] total when [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolving]], more than any Pokémon that capable of Mega Evolving, with 142 points.
** Mega Mawile in Pokémon Legends: Z-A is the [[List of Pokémon with unique base stat totals|only Pokémon]] with a base stat total of 522.

===Origin===
{{bulbanews|On the Origin of Species: Mawile}}
Mawile may have been based on the Japanese legend of the ''{{wp|futakuchi-onna}}'', a woman with a mouth in the back of her head. It may also be influenced by ''{{wp|ouni}}'', a demon with a torn mouth and a body covered in hair that lives in the mountains.

Its mouth resembles a {{wp|Trapping#Foothold traps|bear-trap}}, which may explain its unexpected {{t|Steel}} typing. This design choice might also align with its classification as the "Deceiver" Pokémon, using misdirection in its typing. Additionally, the Steel type could be a nod to the "silk hiding steel" metaphor.

====Name origin====
Mawile may be a combination of ''{{wp|maw}}'' (jaws of a voracious animal) and ''wile'' (cunning stratagem) or ''smile''.

Kucheat may be a combination of 口 ''kuchi'' (mouth) and ''cheat'' or ''eat''.

'''Medicham''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''チャーレム''' ''Charem'') is a dual-type {{2t|Fighting|Psychic}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation III]].

It [[Evolution|evolve]]s from {{p|Meditite}} starting at [[level]] 37.

Medicham can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into '''Mega Medicham''' using the [[Medichamite]].

==Biology==
Medicham is a humanoid, bipedal {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} that resembles a yoga practitioner. It has a gray body with red and yellow adornments. A red headpiece with three bulb-like extensions covers the upper portion of its head: one on top and one on either side. The bulb on top is short on a female Medicham. The headpiece slightly covers its large, focused eyes, and its red lips seem to be in a rounded or puckered position. Its legs appear covered with puffy, red pants with a large yellow spot on the knees and yellow bands next to the hips.

Through the power of meditation and fasting, Medicham has developed a sixth sense. This allows it to use psychokinetic powers and heightens its energy to enhance this sixth sense. It battles with elegant, dance-like movements, which it uses to dodge attacks and launch devastating blows. The {{aniseries|DP}} episode ''[[DP127|Sliding Into Seventh!]]'' showed that it can sense aura. It only eats once per month. Medicham resides in fields and {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Mountain Pokémon|mountains}}. It will hide by using its powers to blend into its surroundings.

Medicham and its pre-evolved form, {{p|Meditite}}, are the [[Signature Ability|only known Pokémon]] that can have {{a|Pure Power}} as an [[Ability]].

===Forms===
Medicham can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into Mega Medicham.

As [[Mega Evolution|Mega]] Medicham, its headpiece now resembles a white {{wp|turban}} with a yellow stone in the center. The red extension in the back is retained, and there are five white extensions on the turban, three extending from the stone and one on either side of its head. There is a gold band on each wrist and additional gold bands around its waist. Several blue, teardrop-shaped decorations hang from the lowest hip band.

Mega Evolution has increased Medicham's mental power to limitless potential. It has formed four ghost-like arms, each imbued with malevolent energy, around itself using this enhanced willpower. It can transform its spirit into a physical force using its mental powers. The more trained its spirit, the more realistic and dexterous its self-created arms become.<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20160406143554/http://www.pokemonxy.com/en-us/pokemon/mega_pokemon/</ref>

{{main|Medicham (TCG)}}

==Trivia==
* Like its pre-evolved form {{p|Meditite}}, Medicham is one of the few {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} whose official art depicts the female form.
** In [[Generation III]], before the introduction of gender differences, all Meditite and Medicham had the appearance of a female regardless of gender.
* Medicham's normal and {{Shiny}} colorations are opposites of those of its pre-Evolution {{p|Meditite}}. Medicham's normal coloration is mainly pink, while its Shiny coloration is mainly blue, whereas {{p|Meditite}} is blue and pink, respectively.

===Origin===
Medicham appears to have been based on a practitioner of {{wp|yoga}}. It may have also been based on Arabian {{wp|belly dance}}rs, as its pants resemble traditional {{wp|Badlah (Egyptian folklore costume)|badlah}} pants and its headgear resembles a {{wp|shawl}}. One headpiece growth, the longest one, resembles a ponytail, which can be seen on Persian genies in most American fiction, such as Jeannie of ''{{wp|I Dream of Jeannie}}'', who also wear bedlahs.

Additionally, Medicham could be based on the {{wp|Shaolin Monastery|Shaolin monks}}, who are known for their fighting style. Its [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolved]] form could be a reference to {{wp|Rainmaking (ritual)|rain dances}}. Like its predecessor Meditite, Medicham looks like many {{wp|Hindu deities}}, most especially {{wp|Shiva}} as well as {{wp|Ardhanari}}, a fusion of Shiva and his wife {{wp|Shakti}}.

====Name origin====
Medicham may be a combination of ''meditate'' and ''champion''.

Charem may be derived from ''charm'', ''{{wp|harem pants}}'', ''champion'', and possibly ''challenge''.

'''Zygarde''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ジガルデ''' ''Zygarde'') is a dual-type {{2t|Dragon|Ground}} [[Legendary Pokémon]] introduced in [[Generation VI]].

While it is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] into or from any other Pokémon, Zygarde has four [[#Form data|forms]]: '''10% Forme''', '''50% Forme''', '''Complete Forme''', and '''Mega Zygarde'''.

Complete Forme Zygarde can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into Mega Zygarde using the [[Zygardite]]. Mega Zygarde was introduced in [[Pokémon Legends: Z-A]].

Additionally, there are two basic components of Zygarde: '''[[Zygarde Core]]s''', which act as the brains of Zygarde, and '''[[Zygarde Cell]]s''', which compose Zygarde's forms and are non-sentient. Neither Zygarde Cores nor Zygarde Cells can use [[move]]s or are useful in battles by themselves. They are stored inside a [[Zygarde Cube]].

Zygarde 50% Forme was introduced in {{g|X and Y}}. The Zygarde Cells, Zygarde Cores, Zygarde 10% Forme, and Zygarde Complete Forme were revealed in the October 2015 issue of [[CoroCoro]] magazine and later introduced in {{g|Sun and Moon}}.

A [[Squishy|Zygarde Core]] played an important role in {{aniseries|XY}} during the ''XY&Z'' arc.

Zygarde plays a central role in [[Pokémon Legends: Z-A]], serving as a key figure in its storyline.

Zygarde, {{p|Xerneas}}, and {{p|Yveltal}} are often collectively referred to as the [[Aura trio]] by fans.

==Biology==
Zygarde is a green and black {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} whose form depends on the percentage of [[Zygarde Core]]s and [[Zygarde Cell]]s it has assembled. Zygarde is responsible for monitoring the ecosystem of the [[Pokémon world]] for abnormalities, It has been referred to as a "guardian of the ecosystem"<ref>[[Legendary and Mythical Guidebook: Deluxe Edition]]: :''"It is said this Legendary Pokémon is a guardian of the ecosystem."''</ref> and "protector of the ecosystems"<ref>[https://legends.pokemon.com/en-us/story-world/pokemon/zygarde50 Zygarde 50% Forme]</ref> due to this role. It also is capable of {{a|Aura Break|reversing}} the effects of {{p|Xerneas}}'s {{a|Fairy Aura}} and {{p|Yveltal}}'s {{a|Dark Aura}}, thus ensuring the equilibrium of the planet and the cycle of life and death are kept in check.<ref>''"Kalosian Legends: Xerneas, the Life Pokémon, and Yveltal, the Destruction Pokémon, both hail from the beautiful Kalos region. While they stand in opposition, the Order Pokémon Zygarde is said to help keep the ecosystem in equilibrium."'' - ''[[Pokémon Ultra Sun & Pokémon Ultra Moon: The Official Alola Region Strategy Guide]]'', page 282</ref> It can also use its Cells in attacks, either shooting them as {{m|Thousand Arrows|arrows}} at its targets, or sending them crawling along the ground towards its targets as {{m|Thousand Waves|waves}}. It can also fire a {{m|Core Enforcer|powerful energy beam}} from its mouth at its targets, carving a Z on the ground in the process. Zygarde can fly in a blinding speed in all of its forms. Normally, Zygarde avoids getting involved in conflicts unless the ecosystem is in grave danger.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20160219214237/http://www.pokemonxy.com/en-us/pokemon/legendary_pokemon/ | Zygarde (Archived)]</ref> Zygarde is known to ask for humans to assist it in protecting the ecosystem, but can be wary of those it does not trust. As seen in the {{aniseries|XY}} episode ''[[XY131|Down to the Fiery Finish!]]'', Zygarde can summon and control massive roots, which it can use to attack and cover areas. In the same episode, the green color on Zygarde's body changed to red while under the influence of [[Team Flare]]'s [[Mega Evolution]] energy weapon. In the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga and in {{aniseries|PTS}}, it has been referred to as "Z". In the anime, Zygarde is shown to be capable of [[Talking Pokémon|human speech]] via telepathy.

Zygarde is the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the moves {{m|Land's Wrath}}, {{m|Thousand Arrows}}, {{m|Thousand Waves}}, and {{m|Core Enforcer}}. It is also the [[Signature Ability|only known Pokémon]] that can have {{a|Aura Break}} and {{a|Power Construct}} as its {{Abilities}}.

===Forms===
Zygarde has three forms: 10% Forme, 50% Forme, and Complete Forme, which are composed of [[Zygarde Core]]s and [[Zygarde Cell]]s. Zygarde Complete Forme can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into Mega Zygarde.

[[File:Zygarde Core SM concept art.png|thumb|left|200px|[[Zygarde Core]]s serve as brains for Zygarde]]
Physically, a Zygarde Core and a Zygarde Cell are almost indistinguishable. Both are small, green cell-like blobs that resemble a {{wp|planarian}}. Their body can be segmented into three sections: a large, round head, an abdomen with a colored hexagon, and a stubby tail. They have two eyes, though one is larger and has a pupil, and can stand on their tail (a trait most associated with the Core). The difference between a Core and a Cell is subtle: a Core has a black pupil and a red hexagon on its abdomen, while these are both green on a Cell.
[[File:Zygarde Cells flying towards a Zygarde Core.png|right|thumb|250px|[[Zygarde Cell]]s flying towards a Zygarde Core]]
Zygarde Cores have wills of their own, while Cells do not, acting only in accordance to a Core's orders. In any form of Zygarde, the Cores act as brains. The Cells exist in much greater numbers than the Cores and tend to be scattered around the world. On their own, Cores and Cells do not have power to battle and need to be assembled in order to take action.<ref name=CoresCells>[http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon/zygardes-cores-and-cells/ Pokémon Sun and Moon site | Zygarde's Cores and Cells] ([https://web.archive.org/web/20160814031551/http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon/zygardes-cores-and-cells/ archive])</ref> A Zygarde may contain up to five Cores.

As depicted throughout {{aniseries|XY}}, Zygarde Cores and Zygarde Cells have the ability to turn invisible. Moreover, it revealed that a Core is able to watch over the ecosystem through the eyes of a Cell, can communicate telepathically with other Cores, and does not need to eat, instead absorbing sunlight for sustenance. As depicted in {{Aniseries|HZ}}, Cells are capable of transmitting what they see to anyone Zygarde wishes.

;10% Forme
[[File:Zygarde 10 Percent SM concept art.jpg|thumb|left|200px|The 10% Forme resembles a canine and has impressive speed]]
Zygarde 10% Forme is a relatively small {{wp|Canis|canine}} Pokémon. Its body is primarily black, though its neck, muzzle, mouth, eyebrows, and left front paw are green. Additionally, it has two green hexagons on its chest and a single one on its rear. From its neck, a green ribbon-like extension comes out, next to an elongated red hexagon, giving the impression of a leash and dog tag, respectively. Its eyes are white hexagons with no discernible pupils, and there is a thin white line on its forehead. Its mouth is fitted with razor-sharp fangs. On each of its legs are black hexagonal extensions: two on the back of each elbow, one behind each knee, and two on each hip. One of the hip extensions is longer than the other on each hip.

Zygarde 10% Forme is created when a single Zygarde Core combines with only a tenth of the total Cells.<ref>[https://legends.pokemon.com/en-us/story-world/pokemon/zygarde10 10% Forme Zygarde]</ref> It is skilled at close range combat, overwhelming its opponents with its sharp fangs. It tends to leap at its opponent's chest and sinks its sharp fangs into them. It is also capable of running at speeds greater than 60 miles per hour (100 kilometers per hour). Since it has just one Core, it is able to act separately from Zygarde's 50% Forme, which comprises its main body, for a only short time before separating. Zygarde can wrap its "leash" around the arm of those it trusts, however, they can't remove it at will, which might cause them to be pulled when Zygarde runs. The 10% Forme is assumed in cases of emergency.<ref>[http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon/zygarde-10-forme/ Pokémon Sun and Moon Site | Zygarde 10% Forme] ([https://web.archive.org/web/20160705143708/http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon/zygarde-10-forme/ archive])</ref>
{{left clear}}

;50% Forme
Zygarde 50% Forme is a large {{wp|Snake|serpentine}} Pokémon. Most of its back, head, and neck are black, while the underbelly and the tip of its tail are green. Its eyes are made of four green hexagons, similar to an insect with {{wp|compound eye}}s, and there is a thin, white line down the center of its face. Across the back of its neck is a large frill made of five long, flat protrusions that each have two small, green hexagons on them. There are three short tendrils on either side of its chest; they are black on the right and green on the left. Its tail also ends in five tendrils. It has many small, green hexagon markings on its body capable of glowing.

Zygarde 50% Forme is assembled from half of its Cores and Cells reuniting. Despite being at only half of its possible total, its power is capable of overwhelming anyone who stands in its way. The 50% Forme is known to be both ruthless and merciless.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20171003202529mp_/http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon/zygarde-50-forme/ | 50% Forme Zygarde] (Archived)</ref> There are rumors that even greater power lies hidden within it, being capable of {{A|Power Construct|changing}} to an even more powerful form when battling those who threaten the ecosystem.

;Complete Forme
[[File:Zygarde Complete SM concept art.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Zygarde Complete Forme's complex physiology]]
Zygarde Complete Form is a large humanoid Pokémon. There are several flat protrusions around its head and triangular protrusions around its neck. These protrusions create a crown shape. On its face are three white hexagonal marks: one in the middle of its forehead with a line through it and two that act as eyes. There are an additional five green hexagons on its face: four along the bottom and one in the middle of a short protrusion on top. Each shoulder has two serpentine wings protruding from it. The wings all have an undulating pattern and a hexagon near the tip: blue on the right side and red on the left. There are multiple white protrusions on its body: three on each hand acting as claws, one on each knee, and one and the front of each foot. Additionally, there are green hexagons surrounding its wrists and two under the white protrusions on its knees and feet. Its abdomen has a vertical, hexagonal pattern with a thin, white line on either side. Across its chest is a thin, zigzagging mouth that when opened, reveals five hexagons colored red, orange, white, cyan, and blue, respectively. It has a long tail similar to Zygarde 50% Forme's body.

Zygarde Complete Forme is created when 100% of its Cells and Cores are gathered. It is said to be Zygarde's perfected form and is specialized for battle, allowing it to fight at full power and complete its duty of protecting the Pokémon ecosystem. Zygarde Complete Forme uses this overwhelming power to suppress those who willingly endanger the ecosystem. Zygarde Complete Forme contains separate Cores for each of its wings and its tail. In this case, each Core can make decisions and act independently of the others.<ref>[http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon/zygarde-complete-forme/ Pokémon Sun and Moon site | Zygarde Complete Forme] ([https://web.archive.org/web/20160705143718/http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon/zygarde-complete-forme/ archive])</ref> The Zygarde Cores can freely change the shapes of the four wings and tail for a variety of roles. Notably in ''[[XY136|Forming a More Perfect Union!]]'', Zygarde is shown using the mouths of its tail and wings to attack with energy beams, propel itself, as well as restoring an unbalanced ecosystem back to normal. The zigzagging mouth on its chest can radiate enough high-powered energy to destroy everything around it, even firing energy beams from within it.<ref>[https://legends.pokemon.com/en-us/story-world/pokemon/zygarde-complete Zygarde Complete Forme]</ref> This form only appears to neutralize huge threats to the ecosystem, such as [[Lysandre]]'s 50% Zygarde-like [[Giant Rock|construct]], the [[Ultimate weapon]], {{form|Necrozma|Ultra}} {{Adv|Necrozma}}, and Hyperrogue Ange Floette. The Complete Forme is powerful enough to overwhelm even {{p|Xerneas}} and {{p|Yveltal}}.
{{spoilers}}
;Mega Zygarde
Mega Zygarde's body undergoes a dramatic transformation. Its main body features a striking combination of dark and light green colors. Underneath the chest armor, there is a three-hexagon pattern, with two hexagons located on each of its legs. The legs and feet have a rhomboid shape topped with two triangular shapes. Additionally, each leg has two black hexagons and one white hexagon attached to its center. The arms resemble a two-fingered hexagonal hand. Mega Zygarde's tail connects to the chest armor like a cape, while the chest armor itself resembles tree roots. At the center of the chest armor, there are two long hexagonal shapes with three longer ones positioned to the sides. The chest armor features red and blue hexagons, each surrounded by three green hexagons. Mega Zygarde's head is adorned with a green headpiece shaped like flames.

One of its most distinguishing features is the giant, hammer-shaped cannon attached to Mega Zygarde's six 90-degree arms on its chest armor. The cannon has a cylindrical shape, decorated with several rectangular shapes and lines. At the center of the cannon, there is a pink symbol resembling a cross between an "X" and a "Y" surrounded by red, blue, and pink lines. Six rectangular shapes are attached to the back of the cannon.

Mega Zygarde's full power is further enhanced through Mega Evolution. This form was said to be born from the people's emotions during an unexpected crisis. In response, Mega Zygarde emerged to calm the situation with its unmatched power. Mega Zygarde was first discovered in [[Lumiose City]]. Mega Zygarde moves by levitating in the air. Mega Zygarde was powerful enough to destroy a powered-up {{m|Light of Ruin}} attack launched by Hyperrogue Ange Floette, capable of destroying Lumiose City.

When it attacks with its cannon, it maneuvers it using its six arms. The cannon then opens up, charging with a pink glow before unleashing a {{m|Nihil Light|large laser blast}} at its foes. After firing, the cannon closes and returns to the center of its head. The light emitted by the attack is said to defy all laws of nature. [[Lysandre|L]] theorizes that Mega Zygarde's unique move during its Mega Evolution resembles the [[Z-Move]]s found in the [[Alola]] region.<ref>[[Lysandre|L]]: ''"And now that I think of it... The moves that Zygarde used when it Mega Evovled-they reminded me of [[Z-Move]]s, like those used in the [[Alola]] region. ]]"'' ([[Pokémon Legends: Z-A]])</ref> This similarity is attributed to Zygarde Cells that were scattered throughout the world at some point, as they absorbed some of the [[Z-Power]]. As a result, this process led to the creation of this distinctive move.<ref>[[Lysandre|L]]: ''"When Zygarde used up its strength protecting Pokémon from the light of [[Ultimate weapon|ultimate weapon... its parts scattered to far-off places, absorbing the power of those lands and seeking humans who would give it aid.]]"'' ([[Pokémon Legends: Z-A]])</ref>

Mega Zygarde is the only known Pokémon capable of using the move {{m|Nihil Light}}, an enhanced version of Core Enforcer that can strike even {{type|Fairy}}s.

{{Candy|Zygarde}}10 and {{Stardust}}2,000 are needed to change Complete Forme Zygarde into its 50% Forme.

Zygarde cannot be [[Released Pokémon#Pokémon GO|transferred]], [[Trade (GO)|traded]], or transferred to {{g|HOME}} via the [[GO Transporter]].
|}

===Form data===
Zygarde has three forms: 10% Forme, 50% Forme, and Complete Forme. [[Zygarde Cell]]s and [[Zygarde Core]]s also appear in the story of the [[Generation VII]] games, but they are not catchable Pokémon or registered in the Pokédex; they make up Zygarde's forms and are not forms themselves.

In [[Generation VI]], Zygarde's only form was 50% Forme (unnamed at the time).

Since [[Generation VII]], all three forms are available. Zygarde's 10% Forme and 50% Forme can be changed with the help of external tools: the [[Reassembly Unit]] and the Zygarde Cube. Zygarde can enter its Complete Forme during battle, and only if it has the Ability Power Construct.

The 10% Forme and 50% Forme of Zygarde can have the {{Abilities}} {{a|Aura Break}} or {{a|Power Construct}}. Internally, these are all separate forms. This makes it impossible to switch Zygarde's Ability with [[Ability Capsule]]s or [[Ability Patch]]es; the [[Reassembly Unit]] or the [[Zygarde Cube]] must be used instead.

;Zygarde with {{a|Aura Break}}
In [[Generation VI]], Zygarde could only have Aura Break and had no forms.

In [[Generation VII]], a Zygarde with Aura Break could be transformed by the [[Reassembly Unit]]. This machine could create a 10% or 50% Zygarde with Aura Break or upgrade a 10% Zygarde with Aura Break to 50%; it could also upgrade either to a 50% Zygarde with Power Construct.

Since [[Generation VIII]], the [[Zygarde Cube]]'s "Change form" function can change Zygarde with Aura Break between 10% Forme and 50% Forme. Its "Change Ability" function can also change its Ability to Power Construct.

;Zygarde with {{a|Power Construct}}
The [[Zygarde Cube]]'s "Change Forme"{{sup/7|SMUSUM}}/"Change form" function can change Zygarde with Power Construct between 10% Forme and 50% Forme. Since [[Generation VIII]], its "Change Ability" function can also change its Ability to Aura Break.

Any Zygarde with Power Construct will change to Complete Forme in battle if its [[HP]] drops below half. At the end of battle, a Complete Forme Zygarde will return to its original form with the same HP it ended the battle with (within its original form's maximum HP).

===Main series===
====Major appearances====
Zygarde is a major target of [[Team Flare]] in {{aniseries|XY}}. [[Zygarde Cell]]s and [[Zygarde Core|Cores]] debuted in ''[[XYS04|Mega Evolution Special IV]]''.

=====[[Squishy]]=====
With the help of [[Mairin]]'s {{p|Chespin}}, [[Chespie]], a Zygarde Core managed to escape [[Lysandre Labs]], and it subsequently came across {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} in ''[[XY094|From A to Z!]]''. {{an|Bonnie}} was immediately taken with it and [[nickname]]d it "Squishy". It traveled in Bonnie's bag alongside {{TP|Clemont|Dedenne}}. In ''[[XY094|From A to Z!]]'', Squishy transformed into its 10% and 50% Formes to defend itself against [[Bryony]] and her subordinates, thus marking the debut of 10% Forme. In ''[[M19|Volcanion and the Mechanical Marvel]]'', when [[Alva]] used his laser weapon onto the [[Nebel Plateau]], it transformed into its Complete Forme to protect the it, thus marking the form's debut. Squishy is known by the code name '''Z1''' by Team Flare.

=====[[Z2]]=====
A Zygarde known by the code name '''Z2''' by Team Flare appeared as a 50% Forme Zygarde in ''[[XY094|From A to Z!]]''. It managed to escape Team Flare by using {{m|Land's Wrath}}. It appeared as a Zygarde Core during ''[[XY102|Meeting at Terminus Cave!]]'', being contacted by [[Squishy]]. It was captured by Team Flare and corrupted by their [[Mega Evolution]] weapon to help them clean the planet of humans. Unlike Squishy's red core, Z2 has a blue core.
[[File:White Zygarde 50 Percent Forme.png|thumb|250px|{{Shiny}} Zygarde 50% Forme in {{aniseries|HZ}}]]
=====[[White Zygarde]]=====
In ''[[HZ045|From So Far Away]]'', [[Gibeon]] is revealed to own a {{Shiny|White}} Zygarde, which was first seen in its 10% Forme. In a flashback in ''[[HZ075|The Wonders of the World!]]'', it was revealed that it actually used to be a 50% Forme Zygarde, but it lost that form when it attempted to sacrificed most of its [[Zygarde Cell]]s to seal the [[Laquium]] crystals away in [[Laqua]], to protect the {{pkmn|world}}'s ecosystem from it. In ''[[HZ087|Guided by the Black Rayquaza!]]'', it returned to Laqua alongside Gibeon, which allowed it to reunite with its Cells and regain its 50% Forme. In [[HZ088|the following episode]], it battled against [[Rising Volt Tacklers]] and [[Amethio]], but when it approved the group's strength, it forfeited the battle, disassembling into Cells and sadly abandoning Gibeon. A year after Gibeon passed away, in ''[[HZ092|Following Traces of Laquium]]'', [[Hamber]] gave [[Zirc]] and [[Onia]] a [[Zygarde Cube]] and the mission to find and gather all of Zygarde's Cells.

=====Other=====
A Zygarde appeared in ''[[XYS05|The Legend of X, Y, and Z!]]'' during a flashback, where it was seen in its 50% Forme. When [[Veofum]] ordered his men to burn {{p|Xerneas}} after his plan to use its power failed, Zygarde appeared and destroyed his kingdom with {{m|Land's Wrath}}.

====Minor appearances====
Zygarde's Complete Forme's first appearance in the animated series was in ''[[XY098|Dream a Little Dream from Me!]]'', where it appeared in a dream.

A Zygarde appeared in its 50% Forme in the opening sequence of ''[[M19|Volcanion and the Mechanical Marvel]]''.

==In the manga==
[[File:Zygarde Adventures.png|thumb|250px|Zygarde 50% Forme in [[Pokémon Adventures]]]]
===Pokémon Adventures===
{{main|Zygarde (Adventures)}}
Zygarde debuted in ''[[PS584|Hawlucha Attacks]]''. It first appeared in [[Anistar City]], where it was {{pkmn2|caught}} by [[Emma|Essentia]]. It was later used by her against [[Team Flare]]'s enemies at [[Pokémon Village]]. Eventually, she started to rebel, prompting [[Lysandre]] to take direct control of Zygarde. When [[Xerxer|Xerneas]] and {{p|Yveltal}} reverted to their dormant forms, Zygarde lost the need to keep itself active and disintegrated.

Zygarde also played a notable role in the {{MangaArc|Sun, Moon, Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon}}. Having been sent to [[Alola]] to find it, [[Dexio]] and [[Sina]] hired {{adv|Sun}} to gather the Zygarde Cells and Cores scattered around Alola. During the climax of the arc, Zygarde used the Reassembly Unit on {{rt|16|Alola}} to transform into its Complete Forme, before joining the battle against {{adv|Necrozma}} at [[Mount Lanakila]] alongside {{p|Solgaleo}} and {{p|Lunala}}.

===Origin===
Zygarde's 10%, 50%, and Complete Formes may be inspired in part by the three children of {{wp|Loki}} and {{wp|Angrboða}} in {{wp|Norse mythology}}: {{wp|Fenrir}}, {{wp|Jörmungandr}}, and {{wp|Hel (being)|Hel}}.

Zygarde 10% Forme may be based on the wolf Fenrir. The green leash-like object around its neck could be based on {{wp|Gleipnir}}, the rope that binds Fenrir. Its left front paw has a different color from the others, being green instead of black, which is possibly a reference to Fenrir biting off the god {{wp|Týr}}'s right hand in reprisal for being bound by him. This Forme could also draw inspiration from {{wp|Garmr}}, the watchdog that guards {{wp|Hel (location)|Helheim}}'s gate. In appearance, it resembles a {{wp|Dobermann|Doberman Pinscher}}.

Zygarde 50% Forme's appearance is based on a serpent in the shape of the letter Z. It may also draw inspiration from Jörmungandr, a sea serpent that encircles the earth; and {{wp|Níðhöggr}}, a dragon that gnaws at the roots of {{wp|Yggdrasil}}, the world tree. Jörmungandr is said to “dwell in the world sea, encircling the Earth (Midgard),” which may allude to Zygarde's partial Ground typing (“Earth”) and the 50% Forme being the middle forme (“Midgard”). Its flat shape and wriggling movement may be inspired by the {{wp|tsuchinoko}}, a Japanese cryptid, and its snakelike appearance may be inspired by {{wp|nāga}}, a class of snake entities in South and Southeast Asian cultures.

Zygarde Complete Forme may be based on Hel, the ruler of {{wp|Helheim}}, the realm of the dead in Nordic myth. The colors on its Complete Forme's chest match the colors of the real-world {{wp|flag of France}}, the country which inspired the [[region]] of [[Kalos]]. These three colors match Kalos' pentagonal emblem that is split between three sections matching each section of Kalos' sub regions: blue on the left depicting Coastal Kalos, red on the right depicting Mountain Kalos, and white in the middle depicting central Kalos. The blue and red colors also match the colors of {{p|Xerneas}} and {{p|Yveltal}}. Design-wise, it resembles a humanoid {{wp|Mecha anime and manga|giant mecha}} despite its organic basis; its light-up technological appearance, "transforming"/"combining" gimmick, and the face-like pattern on its chest are all tropes commonly used for fictional mecha.

[[Zygarde Cell]]s and [[Zygarde Core]]s may be based on cells as well as {{wp|flatworm}}s (specifically {{wp|Planarian|planaria}}) and single-celled organisms such as {{wp|slime mold}}s and members of ''{{wp|Euglena}}''. Some planarians' {{wp|Simple eye in invertebrates#Ocelli|ocelli}} also resemble eyes, which may have inspired the designs for the Cell and Core Zygarde. The hexagons within them may represent a {{wp|cell nucleus}}.

====Name origin====
Zygarde begins with the letter {{wp|Z}}, following the pattern established by {{p|Xerneas}} and {{p|Yveltal}}. It may also be derived from ζυγωτός ''zygōtos'' (Greek for joined) or ''zygote'', ''garde'' (French for guard), and ''garðr'' (Old Norse for enclosure; realm).

Nihil Light deals damage and ignores any stat changes affecting its targets. It also bypasses {{type|Fairy}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}'s immunity to {{type|Dragon}} [[move]]s.

==Description==
{{movedesc|dragon}}

==Trivia==
* Nihil Light is the only new [[move]] introduced in [[Pokémon Legends: Z-A]].
* The Japanese move of Nihil Light uses {{wp|kanji}}, which is similar to some [[signature move|signature]] [[Z-Move]]s.
** Specifically, this move is similar to {{m|Light That Burns the Sky}}, which can be only used when {{p|Necrozma}} changes its form into Ultra Necrozma, similar to Zygarde Complete that needs to [[Mega Evolve]] into Mega Zygarde in order to use Nihil Light.
* Nihil Light is the only move that is exclusively usable by a [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolved]] Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Frogadier}} starting at [[level]] 36. It is the final form of {{p|Froakie}}.

Greninja with the [[Ability]] {{a|Battle Bond}} are treated internally as a [[#Form data|distinct form]]. Battle Bond activates upon defeating an opponent: in [[Generation VII]], it allows Greninja to change into a special form known as '''Ash-Greninja'''; however, following the removal of Ash-Greninja in [[Generation IX]], it was reworked to instead increase Greninja's [[stat]]s.

Greninja can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into '''Mega Greninja''' using the [[Greninjite]]. Mega Greninja was introduced in [[Pokémon Legends: Z-A]].

(Refer to [[#Form data|Game data→Form data]] for more details.)

==Biology==
Greninja is a bipedal, {{wp|frog}}-like {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. It is mostly dark blue with a yellow chest and abdomen, a white triangular marking over each eye, a light blue four-pointed star on each thigh, and yellow on the lower half of its face. It has red eyes with white pupils and its mouth is hidden behind a large, pink tongue that wraps around its neck and extends outward behind its head. Running down the middle of its head is a fin-like extension, and there is a similar fin on each side of its head. Light blue webbing connects its head fins. There is a large, white bubble-like bump on each elbow and knee. Its back feet have two toes, while its front feet have three toes. Each digit has a bulbous tip and yellow webbing.

Greninja's movements are swift, rapid, and graceful, akin to those of ninja.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20160224014849/http://www.pokemonxy.com/en-us/pokemon/starters/ Starter Pokémon (Archived)]</ref> It uses this speed to confound enemies while slicing them up. It can compress water into various weapons to slice up enemies, most commonly in the form of {{m|Water Shuriken|water shurikens}}, though it has been shown creating water katana and water kunai in both the {{pkmn|animated series}} and the [[Super Smash Bros. series|Super Smash Bros.]] video game series. It can also create shuriken from the mucus it excretes from its thighs for sharp projectiles that can split through metal. As seen in the animated series, Greninja's tongue is extremely long and many times its own height, and strong enough to catch and hold an average human. However, it usually keeps its tongue wrapped around its neck like a scarf. Doing so exposes its tongue to air movements, allowing Greninja to detect enemies it otherwise could not see.

In [[Generation VI]], {{m|Mat Block}} was its [[signature move]]. In [[Generation IX]], {{m|Water Shuriken}} is its signature move.

===Forms===
Greninja has two alternate forms: Ash-Greninja and Mega Greninja.

;Ash-Greninja
[[File:Ash Greninja SM concept art.jpg|thumb|left|220px|Concept art of Ash-Greninja from Pokémon Sun and Moon]]
As Ash-Greninja, its appearance has changed in order to more closely resemble {{Ash}}, specifically in his {{aniseries|XY}} outfit. Its skin is now a lighter shade of blue, and the yellow on its chest and abdomen has been reduced to a much smaller area. The fin-like extension on top of its head and the area between its eyes have turned red. The outer part of its side fins has turned black, as well as its cheeks, which now also puff out, resembling tufts of hair with a small, thunderbolt-shaped red streak. It now has a four-pointed star mark on its back as well, from where it creates large water shurikens. Unlike regular Greninja, Ash-Greninja is most commonly seen standing up and is always male.

Through an occurrence called the [[Bond Phenomenon]], brought on by the bonds between people and Pokémon, certain Greninja, such as [[Ash's Greninja]] in {{aniseries|PTS}}, can tap into an almost miraculous source of power in battles where they need to break their limits. Ash-Greninja's legs have strengthened, increasing its speed to a point where it moves so quickly that it becomes difficult to see and enabling it to dispatch opponents in a flash.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20171023143056mp_/http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon/ash-greninja/ Ash-Greninja – Pokémon Sun and Moon (Archived)]</ref> As seen in the {{pkmn|animated series}}, the large water shuriken on its back is the symbol of a perfect transformation; before this state is reached, Ash-Greninja is covered in a turbulent veil of water.

Ash-Greninja is the [[Signature Ability|only known Pokémon]] that can have {{a|Battle Bond}} as an [[Ability]].

As of [[Generation IX]], due to Battle Bond being reworked, Greninja can no longer transform into Ash-Greninja.

;Mega Greninja
[[File:Mega Greninja large Water Shuriken.jpg|250px|thumb|left|Mega Greninja using its giant Water Shuriken]]
As Mega Greninja, its body is now mostly black, except for its lower legs, upper arms, and hands, which retain the same color, making it appear as though it is wearing a ninja outfit. The fins on either side of its head have extended outward and turned light blue, resembling shuriken with one edge much longer than the others. The four-pointed star marks it had on its thighs have been replaced by actual water shurikens. Mega Greninja clings upside down to a giant, floating, and quickly spinning six-pointed water shuriken it created from a gelatinous membrane secreted from its body.

[[Mega Evolution]] has significantly enhanced Mega Greninja's reflexes; as a result, it has forgone stealth, showcasing the confidence it has on its capabilities. By intentionally revealing itself, it provokes opponents into attacking, and its sharp reflexes enable it to both react accordingly and strike first. The mere sight of Mega Greninja clinging to its giant water shuriken is able to distract opponents, allowing it to preemptively render them unable to attack by binding them with its long tongue. Once its opponents are immobilized, Mega Greninja charges at them to strike with its massive shuriken.<ref>

====Ash-Greninja====
In the [[S19|''XY&Z'' arc]] of {{aniseries|XY}}, [[Ash's Greninja]] gained the ability to transform into a stronger form known as "Ash-Greninja" through an occurrence referred to as the [[Bond Phenomenon]]. This form was introduced to the [[core series]] games in {{g|Sun and Moon}}.

In the [[Generation VII]] games, a Greninja with the Ability {{a|Battle Bond}} will transform into Ash-Greninja after it directly causes an opponent to [[fainting|faint]] without ending the battle. It will remain in this form until either it faints or the battle ends; in the former case, this prevents it from changing back into Ash-Greninja for the remainder of the battle. Ash-Greninja has different [[base stats]] than regular Greninja, with increased {{stat|Attack}}, {{stat|Special Attack}}, and {{stat|Speed}}. Additionally, the [[move]] {{m|Water Shuriken}} will be more [[power]]ful, having 20 power instead of 15, and will always hit 3 times, instead of varying between 2-5 hits. Ash-Greninja is not possible to obtain in the core series as of {{g|Scarlet and Violet|s}} due to Battle Bond having its effect changed.

Internally, standard Greninja with Battle Bond are considered to be a separate form to Greninja with {{a|Torrent}} or {{a|Protean}}. These Greninja are always [[gender|male]], cannot {{pkmn|breeding|breed}}, and, like [[Special Pokémon]], are banned from the [[Battle Spot]]. A Greninja with Battle Bond can be transferred to Pokémon Sun and Moon from the [[Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon Special Demo Version|Special Demo Version]]. This is the only way to obtain it, so it is no longer obtainable for players who did not download the demo before the discontinuation of the 3DS Nintendo eShop on March 27, 2023.

==Trivia==
* Greninja is the only fully evolved form of a [[first partner Pokémon]] that has an {{pkmn2|event}}-exclusive Ability.
* Greninja and its pre-Evolutions are the only Water-type first partner Pokémon line to be exclusive to the Water 1 Egg Group.
* Greninja shares its {{pkmn|category}} with {{p|Ninjask}}. They are both known as the Ninja Pokémon.
* Greninja won first place in the Japanese [http://www.pokemon-movie.jp/election/ Pokémon general election 720] (Japanese: '''ポケモン総選挙720''') poll to decide what Pokémon would be distributed at showings of ''[[M19|Volcanion and the Mechanical Marvel]]'' in Japan.
* It was revealed that Greninja was added into [[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U]] before [[Pokémon X and Y]] was even released. Masahiro Sakurai knew that a [[Generation VI]] Pokémon was going to be a playable fighter in that game, so when Greninja was decided, all they had to go on in terms of design was concept art, similar to {{few|Roy}} during the development of [[Super Smash Bros. Melee]].
* In the [[Pokémon of the Year]] vote held by [[The Pokémon Company International]] and {{wp|Google}} in February 2020, Greninja won first place with 140,559 votes and beat {{p|Lucario}} at second place (102,259 votes) and {{p|Mimikyu}} at third (99,077 votes).
* Greninja is the only Pokémon playable in [[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]] that is unavailable in a [[Generation VIII]] [[core series]] game.
** Greninja's appearance in Ultimate was its only appearance in a [[Nintendo Switch]] game until [[Pokémon UNITE]]'s release in 2021.
* Ash-Greninja is the only Pokémon to have no viewable [[Pokédex entry|Pokédex entries]] in {{g|HOME}}'s {{OBP|Pokédex|HOME}}.
** Because all forms prior to [[Generation VII]] shared entries with their original appearance, and due to Greninja not being in any regional Pokédex at all, Ash-Greninja is the only Pokémon to not have a Pokédex entry in any capacity.
* Mega Greninja, Mega {{p|Chesnaught}}, and Mega {{p|Delphox}} were the last Mega Evolutions revealed before the release of {{g|Legends Z-A}}, along with Mega {{p|Raichu}} X and Mega Raichu Y.
* Mega Greninja has the highest base {{stat|Speed}} stat of all {{type|Water}} Pokémon.

===Origin===
Greninja's overall appearance is based on a frog,<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20141007232727/http://www.officialnintendomagazine.co.uk/55933/features/interview-game-freak-on-the-origins-of-pokmon-x-y/ Official Nintendo Magazine - Interview: Game Freak on the origins of Pokémon X & Y (Archived)]</ref> and it may have been inspired by horned frogs from the {{wp|Genus|genera}} ''{{wp|Megophrys}}'' and ''{{wp|Ceratophrys}}'' due to the spiked protrusions above its eyes. Its color scheme and body shape is similar to that of the {{wp|splendid leaf frog}}. The bubble-like protrusions on its body may be based on a toad's {{wp|parotoid gland}}s, possibly referencing the traditional myth of {{wp|True toad|toads}} causing {{wp|wart}}s, though they may also be remnants of Froakie and Frogadier's frubbles.

As its species name implies, Greninja is also based on a {{wp|ninja}}. Japanese culture associates frogs and toads with ninjas based on the folk story ''The Tale of the Gallant {{wp|Jiraiya}}'' (Japanese: 児雷也豪傑物語 ''Jiraiya Gōketsu Monogatari''), about a ninja who can shapeshift into a large toad. Greninja and its pre-Evolutions may also draw inspiration from the thief or rogue {{wp|character class}} in {{wp|role-playing game}}s, which are generally ranged combatants that often rely on speed and stealth, focusing more on dodging attacks rather than withstanding damage.

Ash-Greninja's appearance is based on {{Ash}}'s attire in {{aniseries|XY}} and his hair. On its back it wears a {{wp|shuriken}} (ninja star) made out of water.

Mega Greninja's black coloring may be based on the archetypal ninja outfit. Its habit of standing underneath a large water shuriken may draw from the ninja's supposed ability to impossibly walk and hang from surfaces, such as ceilings. It is also reminiscent of a frog on a {{wp|Nymphaeaceae|lily pad}}. Its large water shuriken may also be a reference to Ash-Greninja's giant Water Shuriken in the anime.

====Name origin====
Greninja may be a combination of ''grenouille'' (French for frog) and ''ninja''.

Gekkouga may be a combination of げこっ ''geko'' (croak) or 月光 ''gekkō'' (moonlight, in reference to a popular conception of ninja running through the night or to Greninja's Dark typing) and 甲賀流 ''{{wp|Kōga-ryū}}''.

'''Raichu''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ライチュウ''' ''Raichu'') is an {{type|Electric}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation I]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Pikachu}} when exposed to a [[Thunder Stone]]. It is the final form of {{p|Pichu}}.

In [[Alola]], Raichu has a dual-type {{2t|Electric|Psychic}} [[regional form]]. It evolves from Pikachu when exposed to a Thunder Stone. All Pikachu in Alola will evolve into this form regardless of their origin. It is the final form of Pichu in the Alola region.

Raichu will be able to [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]] into '''Mega Raichu X''' using the [[Raichunite X]] and '''Mega Raichu Y''' using the [[Raichunite Y]] in the [[Mega Dimension]] DLC for the upcoming {{g|Legends: Z-A}}.

==Biology==
Raichu is a bipedal, {{wp|rodent}}-like {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. Even though it's classified as bipedal, Raichu usually get around on all fours. Raichu is covered in dark orange fur with a white belly. Its bifurcated ears are brown on the outside, yellow on the insides, and end in a distinctive curl. There is a circular yellow marking on each cheek where its electric sacs are, and it has a triangular, dark brown nose. Its arms and feet have patches of brown fur at the end, and the soles of its long feet are tan with a circular orange pad in the center. On its back are two horizontal brown stripes. Its long, thin tail has a lightning bolt-shaped end. The tip of this lightning bolt is chipped on females. Raichu exudes a weak electrical charge from its body and glows slightly in the dark.

Raichu's tail is used to gather electricity from the atmosphere, or it can be planted in the ground to search for electricity. It also protects Raichu from its high-voltage power. Raichu can store over 100,000 volts of electricity, enough to knock out a {{p|Copperajah}}. If Raichu's sacs are fully charged, its ears will stand straight up, and its muscles will become stimulated. However, it will become aggressive if it has stored too much electricity and stress. To prevent it from reaching this state, it discharges electricity through its tail into the ground. This leads to scorched patches near its nest. Being the result of Evolution via [[Evolution stone]], Raichu is rarely found in the wild, though they can be found in {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Forest Pokémon|forests and woodlands}}. The main reason Raichu is rarely seen with Pokémon trainers is because people prefer the look it had as {{p|Pikachu}}. As revealed in the ''[[Pokémon the Series]]'' episode ''[[EP014|Electric Shock Showdown]]'', Raichu is not capable of learning speed attacks upon evolving and can only learn them when they're still Pikachu. As shown in [[Pokémon Sleep]], Raichu is known to sleep while discharging electricity, and a long tail is planted into the ground like a rod. It can electrocute anyone who comes near it while sleeping.<ref>[[Sleep style|Sleep Style Dex]]</ref>

Raichu and its pre-evolved forms are the [[signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning the move {{m|Volt Tackle}}.

===Forms===
Raichu has a [[regional form]]: {{rf|Alolan}} Raichu and two [[Mega Evolution]]s, Mega Raichu X and Mega Raichu Y.

;Alolan Raichu
In [[Alola]], Raichu has lighter coloring and more rounded features. Its eyes are blue with yellow half-circles along the bottom. It has large yellow ears with an inner spiral toward the base and brown on the inside. These ears are thicker and less pointed than a standard Raichu's ear. In addition to its white belly, {{rf|Alolan}} Raichu has white markings on its paws with bright yellow lines between its digits. The stripes on its back have also turned white, and there is a small, white circular marking on each heel. The lightning bolt-shaped tip of its tail has rounded edges. By collecting its psychic power in its tail, it can ride it like a {{wp|surfboard}} and float in the air. While its cheek sacs are still used to store electricity, rubbing them releases a sweet aroma while also getting a light shock. This is also thought to be connected to its Psychic abilities.

Alolan Raichu's origins were initially a mystery at the time. The people of Alola suggested it ate too many sweet and fluffy pancakes,<ref>[http://www.pokemon-sunmoon.com/en-us/pokemon/alolan-raichu/ Pokémon Sun and Moon site | Alolan Raichu]</ref> especially those made with a secret Alolan recipe. However, researchers believe the change is related to Alolan Raichu's diet in general. It is also believed the weather and climate of the [[Alola]] region played a role in the transformation. Alolan Raichu is capable of unleashing star-shaped thunderbolts. It is also known by the name ''hodad''. While normally found in [[Alola]], it has been seen in the [[Coastal Biome]] of the [[Terarium]] during rare [[mass outbreak]] [[Poké Portal News|events]].

Alolan Raichu is the only known Pokémon capable of using the [[Z-Move]] {{m|Stoked Sparksurfer}}. It is also the [[Signature Ability|only known Pokémon]] that can have {{a|Surge Surfer}} as an [[Ability]].

;Mega Raichu X
As Mega Raichu X, it takes on a color scheme reminiscent of {{p|Pikachu}} with its red cheeks and bright yellow fur, but its overall appearance retains a distinctive resemblance to Kantonian Raichu.<ref name=ZAsite>(September 12, 2025). [https://legends.pokemon.com/en-gb/news/mega-dimension-hoopa The Mythical Pokémon Hoopa Holds the Key to the Story] — Pokémon Official Website</ref> Its original brown eyes have become red. Its tail has split into two identical tails, which are similar in shape to Pikachu's tail, except for the zig-zagging black fur coloration at the base of each tail. Both of its arms and ears are much larger. The yellow insides of its ears are gone, and its ears now sport a solid black color with golden tips. It also now has a noticeable fang-like left {{wp|canine tooth}}. When using electricity, its cheeks and its tails glow brightly. Its appearance while levitating resembles the letter X.

Mega Raichu X's tails generate electromagnetic force, creating enough repulsion for it to float and propel itself swiftly in the air. It focuses its electric power into its fists as its primary method of attack, allowing it to down much larger foes in one strike. It has ample subcutaneous fat which stores up electricity, augmenting its defenses and allowing it to maintain a high electrical output.<ref name=ZAsite/>

;Mega Raichu Y
As Mega Raichu Y, it takes on an appearance distinctly resembling Pikachu,<ref name=ZAsite/> but it retains its original color scheme as regular Raichu with its yellow cheeks and orange fur. Its original brown eyes have become blue, and the lightning bolt-shaped tip of its tail is enlarged. The patches of brown fur at the ends of its arms and feet are now gone, as well as the yellow insides of its ears, which now sport a solid orange color with black tips. A pair of horn-like yellow protrusions made of fur jut out of its ears, resembling a pair of lightning bolts. The ends of these "horns" have the distinctive curls found on the ears of regular Raichu. Additionally, Mega Raichu Y now has two prominent {{wp|Canine tooth|canines}}. When using electricity, its cheeks and horn-like fur glow brightly; in key artwork for [[Mega Dimension]], Mega Raichu Y's teeth are also shown glowing. Its appearance with its tail extended resembles the letter Y.

Mega Raichu Y can generate even stronger electricity in larger quantities using the sacs on its cheeks. When it does so, the energy is amplified, coursing in a zig-zag pattern between its tail and "horns". Amassing so much electricity gives Mega Raichu Y a wild and combative temperament, and it prefers a straightforward approach to battling as opposed to performing tactical maneuvers. This also because its greatest strength is its ability to unleash this energy instantaneously, making it excel in short, decisive battles.<ref name=ZAsite/>

An Alolan Raichu that knew the move {{m|Volt Tackle}} in [[Generation VII]] and transferred in via {{g|Bank}} and {{g|HOME}} can be retaught the move using the Pokémon HOME [[Pokémon_HOME#Move_Reminder|move reminder]] functionality. This is the only way for Alolan Raichu to know the move in {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}. An Alolan Raichu knowing the move is blocked from online trades and can not be used in [[Battle Stadium]].

{{-}}

==Trivia==

* No other {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} has the same [[type]] [[List of Pokémon with unique type combinations|combination]] as Alolan Raichu.
* In {{game|Red and Blue|s}}, there is a {{tc|Scientist}} at the [[Cinnabar Lab|Pokémon Lab]] in [[Cinnabar Island]] who will [[trade]] a Raichu for an {{p|Electrode}}. If the player talks to him after the trade, he will mention that the Raichu evolved, which is not possible. This mistake was due to the original translation of the script of the {{jpn|Pokémon Blue Version|Japanese Blue}} (in which this person traded a Graveler for a Kadabra) rather than that of {{game|Red and Green|s}}. This error was corrected in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, as the script was re-translated.
* Raichu's FireRed and Sun Pokédex entries discuss Raichu's electricity being able to knock out an Indian elephant. In {{g|Legends: Arceus}}, this is changed to {{p|Copperajah}}, which is based on the Indian elephant.
** This is also the only Pokédex entry in Legends: Arceus to mention a Pokémon not obtainable in [[Hisui]].
* Several Pokédex entries claim Raichu can discharge up to {{m|Thunderbolt|100,000 volts}}. However, its Stadium entry claims it can only discharge up to 10,000 volts. This is likely a translation error due to the way numbers are read in Japanese, where 100,000 literally reads "ten ten-thousands".
* Although {{p|Pikachu}} is the [[first partner Pokémon]] of {{game|Yellow}}, it is not possible to directly evolve it into Raichu in the game, and must be traded in from {{2v2|Red|Blue}}. This inability to evolve Pikachu is a reference to [[Ash's Pikachu]] in ''[[Pokémon the Series]]''.
* Raichu and its pre-evolved form both share their {{pkmn|category}} with {{p|Rattata}}, {{p|Raticate}}, {{p|Sandshrew}}, {{p|Sandslash}}, {{p|Pawmi}}, and {{p|Pawmo}}. They are all known as the Mouse Pokémon, though Rattata and Raticate were originally called the Rat Pokémon prior to [[Generation III]].
* Raichu is the 26th Pokémon in both the [[National Pokédex]] and [[List of Pokémon by Alola Pokédex number in Pokémon Sun and Moon|Alola Pokédex]] in {{g|Sun and Moon}}.
* Alolan Raichu is the only regional form Pokémon to have a {{m|Stoked Sparksurfer|Z-Move}} exclusive to it.
* Raichu is the most common Pokémon found amongst [[rival]]s, being used by five of them.
* Alolan Raichu is the only [[Alolan form]] available in {{g|Scarlet and Violet}} that can only be obtained by transferring from other games, outside of [[Poké Portal News]] events.
* Raichu is the first Pokémon to have a [[Mega Evolution]] added through DLC expansion.
* Raichu and {{p|Slowbro}} are the only Pokémon to have both a Mega Evolution and a regional form.
* Raichu, between its Kantonian and [[Alolan form]]s, is the only Pokémon to have access to Mega Evolution and an exclusive [[Z-Move]].
* Raichu is the only Pokémon with two Mega Evolutions:
** To not have them released in {{g|X and Y}}.
** To not have them be [[version-exclusive Pokémon]].
** Whose types are the same across the three forms.
* Mega Raichu X and Mega Raichu Y were the last Mega Evolutions to be revealed in promotional trailers before the release of {{g|Legends: Z-A}}, along with the Mega-Evolved forms of the fully evolved [[Kalos first partner Pokémon]].

===Concept and development===
Raichu and {{rf|Alolan}} Raichu were designed by [[Atsuko Nishida]].<ref name=USUM>"What It Takes to Create a Pokémon." Interview with Ken Sugimori in ''[[Pokémon Ultra Sun & Pokémon Ultra Moon Edition: The Official National Pokédex]]'', p. xxi</ref> The concept of Alolan Raichu came from [[Masafumi Nukita]], which also involved writing its [[Pokédex entry|Pokédex entries]].<ref>https://archive.is/tS5lL</ref>

Raichu originally had an evolved form named "[[List of unused Pokémon and character designs#Gorochu|Gorochu]]" (Japanese: '''ゴロチュウ''' ''Gorochū''), which would have had two horns and fangs.<ref>[https://www.yomiuri.co.jp/fukayomi/20180501-OYT8T50139/3/ Page 3 of Yomiuri interview] with [[Ken Sugimori]], [[Kōji Nishino]], and [[Atsuko Nishida]] (Japanese)</ref><ref>''[https://www.siliconera.com/pikachu-originally-second-evolution-called-gorochu-large-fangs-two-horns/ Pikachu Originally Had A Second Evolution Called ‘Gorochu’ With Large Fangs And Two Horns]'' — SiliconEra</ref> [[Ken Sugimori]] stated that while there was nothing wrong with its appearance, it was nonetheless omitted from {{game|Red and Green|s}}, as the staff found that the game balance was better without it, and the limited game space meant that some Pokémon originally designed to evolve twice were changed to evolve only once.<ref name=Pokemon.com>[https://web.archive.org/web/20211108083831/https://www.pokemon.com/us/pokemon-news/creator-profile-the-creators-of-pikachu/ Creator Profile: The Creators of Pikachu - Pokemon.com] (archived)</ref>

===Origin===
Raichu's legs and long tail resemble those of a {{wp|jerboa}} or {{wp|kangaroo rat}}.

{{rf|Alolan}} Raichu may be based on the concept of [[surfing Pikachu]] and the sport of {{wp|surfing}} itself, which originated in Hawaii (the inspiration for the [[Alola]] [[region]]), as well as the [[wiktionary:hodad|hodad]] concept of being a fake surfer; ''hodad'' is referred to as another name for Alolan Raichu in its [[Pokédex]] entry in {{pkmn|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon|Pokémon Ultra Sun}}. Its design and {{t|Psychic}} type may have been influenced by [[Puka]], a surfing Pikachu that appeared in {{aniseries|PTS}} which had psychic powers and blue eyes. In the {{g|Stadium series}}, {{pkmn|Colosseum}}, {{XD}}, and {{pkmn|Battle Revolution}}, Raichu rides on its tail when using the move {{m|Surf}}.

According to [[Ken Sugimori]], he asked [[Atsuko Nishida]] to design Alolan Raichu since she was the one who had worked on the original Raichu design. Nishida insisted that Raichu "has always been cuter than people might think", and designed Alolan Raichu to emphasize Raichu's cuteness; in particular, she designed it with the motif of {{wp|bread}}. The in-game lore of people believing that its [[Evolution]] is induced by eating pancakes was added afterward to play up the concept.<ref name=USUM/> The fact that Alolan Raichu was designed after bread may have also inspired the sweet fragrance it can release from its cheeks, as well as the look of its paws which resemble {{wp|whipped cream}} decorations, {{wp|cream puff}}s, or ''{{wp|baozi}}''.

Both Mega Raichu X and Mega Raichu Y resemble their assigned letters, and also seem to take elements from {{p|Pikachu}}'s design, such as its color and the shape of its body and tail. Additionally, Mega Raichu Y's fur color resembles that of Pikachu's {{Shiny}} variation. They could also be inspired by the scrapped Gorochu species, with the fangs on both Mega Evolutions of Raichu, and the horn-like fur on Mega Raichu Y.

====Name origin====
Raichu may be a combination of 雷 ''rai'' (thunder) and チューチュー ''chūchū'' (onomatopoeia for the squeak of a mouse).
