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

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

==Biology==
Dodrio is a large, wingless, three-headed avian Pokémon. Each head has a long, sharp beak and a black feathered, V-shaped crest. It has bristly brown feathers covering its heads and upper body, while its lower half has a smooth layer of black feathers. Its wingless body rests on two long and slender, but powerful legs with feet that have three toes in front and one in back. There are sharp claws on each toe. Males have black necks, whereas females have brown necks; both genders have brown legs.

Each head has its own working brain and distinct personality, representing and expressing sorrow, anger and joy respectively. Despite being separate, it has the innate ability to use all three of its brains to collect data, formulate and then execute complex plans and strategies. However, on occasion it may over think and analyze a situation, causing itself to be immobilized and unable to carry out any action whatsoever. Being separate individuals on the same body, the heads are well known to squabble with one another. Often they will continue to bicker until they, or at least one of the heads gets to eat. This satisfies the other two heads, quelling them and temporarily ending their infighting. Another adaption it has acquired is the ability to have at least one head alert at all times. While two are asleep, one will stand guard and look out for any approaching enemies. Extreme caution is advised when all three heads are facing separate directions. It is in this state that it is the most dangerous, and going near it may result in a severe pecking.

Along with its three heads, it has three sets of hearts and lungs as well. This allows it to efficiently oxygenate and pump blood throughout its body, thus giving it increased endurance to run vast distances without rest. It is especially prone to race vigorously across {{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Grassland Pokémon|grassy plains}}, even in arid seasons with little rainfall.

==Trivia==
[[File:Dodrio Fly Stad.png|thumb|Dodrio flying in {{Eng|Pokémon Stadium}}]]
* While one of its heads is saying something in [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon]], the others say ''me too'' or ''mine too'', but its pre-evolved form's other head will not.
* Dodrio's National Pokédex number is the whole number portion of its weight in kilograms. As of [[Generation V]], this is a unique characteristic. However, {{p|Slowpoke}} shares the distinction when considering its weight in pounds.
* Not including the intro video, Dodrio was the first Pokémon to appear in the flesh in the anime (all others before that were either dreamt of by {{Ash}}, or else shown on the TV in his room).
* According to its Pokédex entries, {{p|Doduo}} can run at 60 mph (100 km/h), while Dodrio can only run at nearly 40 mph (60 km/h). However, Dodrio's base {{stat|Speed}} stat is higher.
* Dodrio is featured in the [[Generation III]] wireless mini-game, [[Dodrio Berry Picking]], where it is required that players own a Dodrio to be able to play.
* Before [[Generation IV]], the necks of normal Dodrio were beige (which became the female neck color), while its {{p|Doduo|pre-evolution's}} necks were black (which became the male neck color).

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

====Name origin====
Dodrio is a combination of ''{{wp|dodo}}'' (an extinct, flightless bird) and ''trio'' (group of three).

Dodorio may be a combination of ドードー ''dodo'' and トリオ ''trio''. To note, ''dori'' may be a reference to 鳥 ''tori'' (bird).

The '''fifth generation''' (Japanese: '''{{tt|第五世代|だいごせだい}}''' ''fifth generation'') of Pokémon is the fifth installment of the Pokémon series. Like previous generations, the first installments, {{game|Black and White|s}}, were released as a pair. However, unlike previous generations, the games were followed by two sequels—{{game|Black and White|s 2|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2}}—instead of a third version. For the first time since [[Generation]]s {{gen|I}} and {{gen|II}} (following the internal identification of {{game|Gold and Silver|s}} rather than the advertised console), the games were released on the same platform as [[Generation IV|the previous generation]]'s core series titles, in this case the [[Nintendo DS]].

[[Unova]], the new [[region]] introduced in this generation, is known to be far away from the regions of previous generations. Unlike the past four, Unova is based on an area outside of {{wp|Japan}}, drawing inspiration from the {{wp|New York City metropolitan area}}.

The Generation V games are able to communicate with the five [[Generation IV]] games in the same way that the Generation IV games can communicate with the five [[Generation III]] games, with players able to transfer Pokémon via a method similar to [[Pal Park]]. Pokémon caught in a Generation III game are able to move forward to Generation V by passing through Generation IV games.

Black and White occur an unknown amount of time after [[Generation II]] and [[Generation IV]]. The {{tc|Team Rocket Grunt}} who stole the {{key|IV|Machine Part}} makes a {{wp|cameo appearance}}, saying that while he had intended to revive Team Rocket upon returning home, he instead fell in love and had a son. [[Cynthia]] mentions visiting the [[Distortion World]] and being defeated by a {{ga|Lucas|young}} {{ga|Dawn|Trainer}} as [[Sinnoh]] League {{pkmn|Champion}}.

Black 2 and White 2 occur two years after the events of Black and White.

==Advances in gameplay==
Being the first games on the same console as their predecessors since [[Generation II]], the Generation V games enhance the Pokémon experience on the DS in several ways. Advancements introduced in Generation V include:
* The addition of 156 {{cat|Generation V Pokémon|new Pokémon}}, bringing the total to 649. No new evolutionary relatives of previous Pokémon are introduced, and in Black and White, no Pokémon from previous generations can be caught in Unova itself until after the [[National Pokédex]] is obtained.
* The addition of 92 new [[move]]s, bringing the total to 559.
* The addition of 41 new [[Ability|Abilities]], bringing the total to 164. Many older Pokémon are allowed to have new Abilities, including some that were introduced in [[Generation III]] and [[Generation IV]], by transferring them from the {{pkmn|Dream World}}. This effectively gives most Pokémon three legitimate abilities, rather than the two which have been standard since Generation III.
* Yet another region to explore, the [[Unova]] region, far away from the previous four and based on {{wp|New York City}}, rather than a region of Japan.
* A new [[Villainous teams|villainous team]], [[Team Plasma]], whose goals include separating the worlds of Pokémon and humans to make a black and white world.
* [[Triple Battle]]s and [[Rotation Battle]]s are now a part of gameplay, which are variations of battling like [[Double Battle]]s.
* The introduction of the [[Wonder Launcher]], a new battle mode which can stack with double, triple and Rotation Battles.
* The introduction of {{DL|Tall grass|dark grass}}, where Double Battles against [[wild Pokémon]] can occur.
* The introduction of [[Phenomenon|phenomena]], occurrences which involve wild Pokémon or items moving and making sounds to indicate their position, somewhat similar to the [[Poké Radar]].
* The introduction of [[seasons]], which alternate every month.
* Expanded variance in camera placement, making the cities and towns of Unova more realistic and lifelike. There are also curves in places like [[Castelia City]], [[Dragonspiral Tower]], and the [[Skyarrow Bridge]].
* The [[Poké Mart]] is now combined with the [[Pokémon Center]].
* Introduction of the [[Entralink]], which allows players to visit each other in-game in Black and White, rather than just inside of the [[Union Room]] or [[the Underground]].
* The new [[Pokémon Global Link]], which allows players to connect their games to the internet to view statistics or download some changes to the games, such as the design of the [[Pokédex]]. This also grants players access to the [[Pokémon Dream World]], where players may befriend Pokémon and send them over to their games.
* The [[weather]] and current [[time]] are now displayed on the bottom screen during battle when making selections as to what to do during the turn.
* One new variant of [[Poké Ball]], the {{ball|Dream}}, retaining the 25 found in previous games.
** The [[Apricorn]] Poké Balls and the {{ball|Sport}} are inaccessible without hacking and do not function as Poké Balls even if acquired; however, Pokémon caught in these Poké Balls in {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}} retain them when sent to a Generation V game.
* Pokémon battle sprites now animate constantly, rather than simply animating upon exiting a [[Poké Ball]] as in previous generations. These animations are reminiscent of those of {{game|Crystal}}, rather than the two-sprite distortion method that has been the standard since {{game|Emerald}}. The speed at which Pokémon move slows as the {{stat|HP}} goes down and with most [[status condition]]s ({{status|frozen}} Pokémon do not move at all).
* When a Pokémon is affected by a status condition, in addition to slowing movement, it also glows a color depending on the status condition. {{status|Sleep}} does not have a color, but uses a different sprite that depicts the Pokémon with its eyes closed.
* The back sprites of Pokémon show the Pokémon's body in full, with their poses and animations being the same as the front sprite, but as seen from behind.
** This enables dynamic camera movements during battle, e.g. it can zoom in or out and focus on specific Pokémon as the battle progresses.
* The battle music changes under certain conditions. When one of the player's Pokémon on the battlefield has less than 25% of their HP, the music changes to a faster, more suspenseful music. When battling a [[Gym Leader]]'s last Pokémon, the music also changes.
* The overworld music also changes in certain circumstances. Almost all the routes now have instruments that differ between the seasons, and layers that activate and deactivate when the player walks or stops, respectively; while music that plays in some towns and cities have layers that can be added by talking to citizens. These people can be seen playing different musical instruments like piano, guitar, etc.
* In the Japanese version of the game, the option to display {{wp|kanji}} in game menus and text is available, in addition to {{wp|hiragana}} and {{wp|katakana}} as in the previous four generations.
* In international versions of the game, Pokémon names are displayed with proper capitalization, rather than having all capital letters, as it was prior to Generation V.
* The number of boxes in the [[Pokémon Storage System]] has been increased from 18 to 24. However, players only start with 8 boxes. Additional space is available once the player has placed one captured Pokémon in each of the 8 boxes, then receiving an additional 8 boxes for storage, bringing the total to 16. This cycle continues until the player finally has 24 boxes, for a storage total of 720 Pokémon.
* [[TM]]s have expanded from 92 to 95. Many of the 92 TMs found in Generation IV contain different moves.
** In addition, TMs now have infinite uses, like [[HM]]s.
*** To prevent repeated usage of TMs for the purpose of PP restoration, when a Pokémon forgets a move in order to learn from a TM or HM, the move learned takes on the current {{PP}} of the move replaced (up to its own maximum).
* The number of HMs has been reduced from eight to six. The first four remain the same as during the first four generations; HM05 is now {{m|Waterfall}} and HM06 is now {{m|Dive}}.
* The [[trade|trading]] process has been upgraded: players may now trade Pokémon directly from their [[PC]] boxes, without having to place offered Pokémon in their party first. The [[Global Terminal]] also allows players to trade using this method. Furthermore, players can trade outside of the [[Pokémon Center]] via [[infrared]].
* The expansion of Key Item registration: Multiple items, and even several menu screens, may be registered simultaneously. Pressing the Y button now brings up a quick access menu of the registered commands.
* While the framerate for the overworld is still 30, the framerate has been increased to 60 for battles, the title screen, and 2D menus. However, the opening only has a framerate of 15.
* When Pokémon are sent out, there is a sound effect and visual effect as they land which varies depending on the [[List of Pokémon by weight|weight]] of the Pokémon (unless it's a Pokémon that stays airborne like {{p|Hydreigon}}, {{p|Ho-Oh}}, or {{p|Goldeen}}; or it is {{p|Diglett}} or {{p|Dugtrio}}).
===Alterations from Generation IV===
* The abandonment of [[Pokémon Contest]]s and the [[Pokéathlon]] in favor of the [[Pokémon Musical]], a different type of competition which does not factor in a Pokémon's moves.
* [[Seal]]s and [[Ball Capsule]]s are no longer available for use on [[Poké Ball]]s.
* The {{type|???}} does not exist in this generation. Instead, {{m|Curse}} is now a {{type|Ghost}} move.
* {{p|Rotom}}'s appliance forms are now no longer {{type|Ghost}} Pokémon; instead, they are {{t|Electric}} and the type of their special move.
* Pokémon in the [[party]] can no longer [[walking Pokémon|follow the player outside of battle]] in [[Amity Square|any point of the game]].
* The abandonment of encounter rate differences based on the [[time]] of day.
* The option to have the [[Running Shoes]] on at all times, as in HeartGold and SoulSilver, has been removed.
* In the {{DL|Pokémon Center|Wireless Club 2|Wi-Fi Club}}, there is no longer an option to set all Pokémon at level 100.
* Items are displayed in a list format rather than the six-cell pages that were seen in HeartGold and SoulSilver.
* [[Record mixing]] is no longer a feature.
* The abandonment of [[Game Corner]]s.
* The persistent bottom-screen menu from {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} is no longer present, as that screen now displays the [[C-Gear]]. The menu is brought up on the touch screen in the same way, though, with X.
* The way some [[Key Item]]s are used, such as the Dowsing Machine, has been altered.
* {{status|Poison}} no longer inflicts damage outside the battle.
* [[Badge]]s are no longer necessary in order to use [[HM]] [[field move]]s.
* The Elite Four no longer have to be battled in a set order.
* [[Shiny Pokémon]] no longer sparkle if they break out of a Poké Ball.
* Many Pokémon have their experience yield changed, which is no longer limited to 255.
** Additionally, the experience formula now takes in account difference between Pokémon's levels.
* In the [[Vs. Recorder#Browse Mode|Vs. Recorder's Browse Mode]], it is no longer possible to change the interface's color to the previous color in the line by tapping the left border of the touch screen. Tapping either border will change it to the next color in the sequence.
* [[Nintendo DSi]] systems connected to an Internet router requiring the "advanced setup" option are now compatible with online features, such as the [[Global Terminal]].
* Battle-only forms, such as {{p|Cherrim}}'s {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Cherrim|Sunshine Form}} or {{p|Castform}}'s {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Castform|weather forms}} now use their own minisprites, rather than using default form's minisprite. Additionally, Cherrim's Sunshine Form minisprite is different than the one used in HeartGold and SoulSilver.
* The HP bar now empties as soon as the move animation ends, simultaneous to the animation of the Pokémon's body "blinking" between visible and invisible. Previously, the HP bar did not empty until after the "blinking" animation was finished. Additionally in Double Battles (and Triple Battles) when move hits multiple targets, the HP bar now empties for all Pokémon at once rather one by one - first on player's side, then on opposing side. Due to this, messages have been changed to include the Pokémon (e.g. ''A critical hit on the foe's <Pokémon>!'' or ''It's super effective on <Pokémon> and <Pokémon>!''). If a multi-target move misses one opponent (for any reason) but hits another, a ''<Pokémon>'s attack missed!'' message will appear first (if it was due to something else than immunity or protecting itself, otherwise the usual message like ''It doesn't affect <Pokémon>...'' appears), before the move's animation executes, and the missed Pokémon will not react to the animation.
* When an Ability is activated during battle, it is shown as a green-blue arrow for the player's side or a red-yellow arrow on the opposing side with the text ''<Pokémon>'s <ability>'' instead showing it activated on the battle text. (e.g. ''Pikachu's Static'' and the message ''The foe's Meowth is paralyzed!'' instead of ''Pikachu's Static paralyzed the foe's Meowth!'' on the battle text). This has been changed to a black arrow for both sides in Black and White 2. Additionally, if the Ability is changed, the arrow appears, reflecting the Ability change that took place.
* During breeding, offspring now have an 80% chance to have the Ability slot corresponding to their mother, unless it is a Hidden Ability; for example, {{p|Venomoth}} with {{a|Shield Dust}} is more likely to breed {{p|Venonat}} with {{a|Compoundeyes}} than with {{a|Tinted Lens}}.

===Additions in Black 2 and White 2===
* A sequel pair to the original pair of games, with an all-new story.
* Pokémon from previous generations appear more often in Unova, even from the start.
* The New Unova [[Pokédex]] includes a Habitat mode, allowing the player to select a specific area or route in Unova and view what Pokémon are known to inhabit it.
* [[Entralink]] missions are replaced by Funfest missions, and can be played with or without connecting to other players.
* New attractions, such as [[Pokéstar Studios]] and the [[Pokémon World Tournament]].
* All opponent Trainers now have fluidly animated sprites that move before battle.
* Players can now use a new feature called the [[Unova Link]], which lets the player make the game easier or harder, switch between [[Black City]] and [[White Forest]], and cause certain events to happen by connecting to Black or White.
* {{p|Watchog}}'s [[List of Pokémon by effort value yield|EV yield]] is changed from 1 Attack to 2 Attack.
* Players can now move held items between Pokémon in their party.
* Several new locations have been added to the map, including [[Aspertia City]], [[Floccesy Town]], [[Floccesy Ranch]], [[Cave of Being]], [[Virbank City]], [[Virbank Complex]], [[Pokéstar Studios]], [[Castelia Sewers]], [[Relic Passage]], [[Clay Tunnel]], [[Pokémon World Tournament]], [[Reversal Mountain]], [[Strange House]], [[Lentimas Town]], [[Seaside Cave]], [[Humilau City]], and [[Plasma Frigate]].
* The location of [[Victory Road (Black 2 and White 2)|Victory Road]] on the [[Town Map]] has changed completely, from the west of the [[Pokémon League]] to the east of it.

==Region==
===Unova===
[[File:Unova alt.png|thumb|250px|Unova]]
{{main|Unova}}
Like previous generations, another new region, the [[Unova]] region, is introduced in {{game|Black and White|s}}. Unlike the previous four regions, which are relatively close in respect to one another, Unova has been revealed to be distant from them, with the only way to travel between it and the other four being boat or airplane.

====Starter Pokémon====
The starters of the Unova region, like the starters of the previous four regions, follow the Grass-Fire-Water trio, with {{p|Snivy}} the {{type|Grass}}, {{p|Tepig}} the {{type|Fire}}, and {{p|Oshawott}} the {{type|Water}}.

==Discussion of Generation V==
Generation V is seen as a major departure point for the series. While the Generations preceding it often adhered to the formula [[Generation I]] had established, Generation V did several things that broke the mold. Setting itself in a region where Pokémon from previous generations could not be caught as well as putting out dual sequels instead of a third version like previous generations had done are several examples of how this generation broke the mold, inspiring future generations of Pokémon to do the same.
===Unova thematic motif===
The fifth generation of Pokémon games focuses on the relationships between opposites, such as nature and industry or humans and Pokémon. This comes from the concept of Yin and Yang, which the legendary mascots of {{game|Black and White|s}}, {{p|Reshiram}} and {{p|Zekrom}}, are based on, with another reference being that Reshiram is the mascot of Black and Zekrom being the mascot of White—both are opposite colored to the game's color, while version mascots beforehand had always matched. The [[Swords of Justice]] also represent this theme as they are trying to prevent Pokémon from losing their natural habitats to human industry. The generation's main antagonists, [[Team Plasma]], also fit in with this theme, as their goal is to separate Pokémon from humans. Some of the cities also reflect this theme by being aesthetically different depending on the version of the game; two major examples of this are [[Black City]] and [[White Forest]], two version-exclusive locations. The {{pkmn|Dream World}}, which is supposed to combine dreams and reality, also fits into this theme.

==Trivia==
* The Japanese logo of the Pokémon games was redesigned once again for Generation V's releases; the first logo was used in [[Generation I]] and [[Generation II]], and the second during [[Generation III]] and [[Generation IV]].
** The text for the English boxes also received a new design.
* Generation V introduced the most new Pokémon to the series, with 156 (five more than Generation I introduced).
* Generation V introduced the most [[Gym Leader]]s, with 14.
**In addition, not counting remakes, this is the first generation to introduce more than eight Gym Badges (ten, due to Black 2 and White 2 replacing two of them).
* Generation V is the first generation not to feature [[Professor Oak]].
* Generation V is the first generation not to introduce a higher number of [[Legendary Pokémon]] than the previous generation. In this case, both Generations IV and V introduced nine Legendary Pokémon.
* Generation V is the only generation in which:
** There is only one [[fishing]] rod—the {{DL|Fishing|Super Rod}}—as the {{DL|Fishing|Old Rod}} and {{DL|Fishing|Good Rod}} have been removed.
** The {{game|Black and White|s|primary paired versions}} were released in Europe before North America.
** A single-type Pokémon of every type is introduced.
*** A pure Flying-type is introduced (discounting [[Arceus]] forms).
** The main {{pkmn|professor}} is female.
** {{p|Pikachu}} is not available without [[Poké Transfer|transferring from the]] [[Generation IV|previous generation]].
** A {{p|Snorlax}} is not sleeping in the overworld.
** Two sets of [[Player character|player characters]] were introduced.
* Generation V is also the only generation that did not introduce:
** A {{2t|Bug|Flying}} Pokémon.
** A [[List of Pokémon with cross-generational evolutions|cross-generational evolutionary relative]].
* Generation V is the first generation not to introduce a solitary [[core series]] game, instead introducing sequels.
* Generation V is the first generation in which it is impossible to complete the [[National Pokédex]] without [[Poké Transfer|transferring]] Pokémon from a [[Generation IV|previous generation]], even if a player owned all versions in the generation and all [[Event Pokémon]] were acquired.
* Generation V is the first generation since [[Generation II]] not to include [[remakes]] of previous games.
* Generation V is the first generation that does not feature the [[Kanto]] region.
* Generation V is the first generation that allowed trading with Korean versions.
** Pokémon caught in a Korean Generation IV game are still technically compatible with other Generation IV games, but those games did not have a way to read the Korean characters in the Pokémon's name. All Generation V games, however, included Korean character compatibility, thus allowing Korean Pokémon to be traded between all other versions of the game.

'''Route 220''' is one of the four [[water route]]s of the Sinnoh region. It links {{rt|219|Sinnoh}} (south of [[Sandgem Town]]) and {{rt|221|Sinnoh}}, the path to [[Pal Park]].

==Route description==
This route can be crossed in three different ways. On the top path, there is only one trainer, {{tc|Swimmer}} Katelyn; this is the easiest way of crossing the route. The middle path has the most trainers, and the bottom path contains several items for the player to collect.

'''Route 220''' is one of the four [[water route]]s of the Sinnoh region. It links {{rt|219|Sinnoh}} (south of [[Sandgem Town]]) and {{rt|221|Sinnoh}}, the path to [[Pal Park]].

==Route description==
This route can be crossed in three different ways. On the top path, there is only one trainer, {{tc|Swimmer}} Katelyn; this is the easiest way of crossing the route. The middle path has the most trainers, and the bottom path contains several items for the player to collect.

Talk:Pokémon breeding

2012-04-11T04:38:05Z

Eddiefiv: /* No Good Natures */

OOps. [[User:Evkl|Evkl]] 01:45, 1 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Should this be listed under Pokémon Breeding or simply Breeding? -[[user:greengiant|greengiant]]

Probably Poke breeding with a redirect from "breeding"

A picture says more than tousand words

== Strange Breeding: How did these things happen? ==

A couple of strange things happened to me when I was breeding a male Blaziken with a female Phanpy (which is strange enough in itself, I guess)
#When the egg hatched, the Phanpy knew Rock Smash. This shouldn't have been able to happen because I had previously deleted Rock Smash from Blaziken via the Move Deleter guy.
#The Phanpy hatched holding a PP Up! Needless to say, I was thrilled, but is there any reason for this occurance? Is it random or predictable?
Thanks a lot →[[User:Evin290|Evin290]] 12:18, 30 June 2006 (UTC)

:I don;t know about the first, but I believe the second is because of Phanphy's ability "Pickup".--[[User:Skully Collins|Skully Collins]] 08:42, 5 September 2007 (UTC)

Yeah the PP Up is definetly a result of the pick-up. As for the rock smash, no clue. --[[User:Blaziken=Tahu|Blaziken=Tahu]] 02:58, 29 January 2009 (UTC)

Could be something intentional. I would assume that Phanpy could learn Strength if you taught that to Blaziken then removed it. [[User:Learner4|Learner4]] 20:26, 24 November 2009 (UTC)

Im actually thinking that Phanphy can learn Rock Smash, so if Blaziken knew it then there are still "reminints" of Rock Smash there, as shown by the move relearner guy. Maybe when the breeding happened the data some how got mixed and BAM, you have a Phanphy that knows Rock Smash. Did you use any cheats (earlier on) at all?--[[User:Sorou|sorou]] 17:11, 30 December 2009 (UTC)

== Abilities ==
I have seen, and the D/P Nintendo power guide states that, you can pass on abilities via breeding. This would be important to note, wouldn't it? It seems like something that big should be listed. Especially when you consider the possibilities! (I personally love my wonder-guarded sableye) Also, I think this should possibly be noted in the "chain breeding" section as well.
--[[User:TheCakeIsALie|TheCakeIsALie]] 02:51, 7 January 2008 (UTC)

True. Good eye. You may place it in the article in the appropriate place. And don't forget your sig or people won't know who you are.{{ani|486}}[[User:Pokemaniac102|<big>'''''Poke'''''</big>]][[User talk:Pokemaniac102|'''''Maniac''''']][[Special:Contributions/Pokemaniac102|<big>'''''102'''''</big>]]{{ani|492}} 06:28, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

:Plus, the only Pokémon with Wonder Guard can't breed with anything but Ditto, so it'd never pass it on to Sableye. If you got that thing in a trade, it's hacked, man.

Crap, thanks for pointing that out. Dang... But on another note, you CAN pass abilities legitimately, but I misread: they are passed along by the mother, so it would stay in the proper species. (the example given in NP's guide is 2 bibarel breed. Mother has Simple, father has Unaware, so offspring is a Bidoof with Simple.) So I was halfway right, but again, thanks for poiinting that out. I guess I ought to not use it much then, huh?--[[User:TheCakeIsALie|TheCakeIsALie]] 02:51, 7 January 2008 (UTC)
:I just did a test run breeding two Kadabras, both with the ability [[Inner Focus (ability)|Inner Focus]]. They successfully bred an Abra with the ability [[Synchronize (ability)|Synchronize]]. This proves that, at least for HeartGold, ability is ''not'' passed down by either parent. --[[User:Kerrick|Kerrick]] 17:23, 22 April 2010 (UTC)

I can't actually PROVE this, but in my experience, the Everstone seems to have a similar effect on Abilities to the one it has on Natures. So, assuming that the mother is not a Ditto, and there is a chance between the two Abilities, and the mother is holding an Everstone, there appears to be a better than 50% chance that the child will have the same ability. I have no idea how to formally prove this, but if someone could either explain to me how to prove it, or simply look into it themselves, it would be appreciated.--[[User:Xatu|Xatu]] 03:49, 24 January 2010 (UTC)

== Tauros & Miltank ==

Can anybody confirm for certain that their eggs are supposed to be 50% Tauros and 50% Miltank? I've personally hatched 11 eggs from a Tauros and a Ditto, and all of them were Tauros, which means I must be exceptionally unlucky if half of them are supposed to be Miltank. FYI, I'm playing Diamond where Miltank are rarer than Tauros (the opposite is true in Pearl). I thought it would be easier to breed a Miltank than catch one. [[User:Drapion|Drapion]] 17:28, 11 July 2007 (UTC)

I think the 50-50 chance thing is only if you breed a Miltank with Ditto; all of Tauros's kids with Ditto will be Tauros. [[User:Fsilone|Fsilone]] 22:29, 6 October 2007 (UTC)

:There is no way in any of the games for Tauros to hatch from a Miltank egg, or for Miltank to hatch from a Tauros egg. MorningStar edited this page with a note indicating otherwise as early as in March 2006, which is to say without knowledge of Diamond and Pearl. I believe no one bothered to fix it then due to the possibility of that holding true in the upcoming games, and since their release everyone has assumed the statement to be true because it was on the page so early on. Regardless of the reason, this note should have long been removed; it is easy to verify that even when breeding Miltank and Tauros ''together'' in the latest games, the product is still always a Miltank. I have done so for the sake of being on the safe side. [[User:Unown Lord|Unown Lord]] 13:30, 8 November 2007 (UTC)

::I've changed this section of the page. I can confirm empirically (hatched 41 eggs: 28 from a Miltank + Ditto, 13 from a Miltank + various Ground-group Pokes) that you cannot hatch a Tauros from a Miltank egg in Pokemon Pearl, and I assume the same goes for Diamond; based on Unown Lord's comments I am assuming this applies to all the games. If it turns out you can, then feel free to revert the page - I haven't hacked the code, this is entirely based on testing, so it's possibly that I was ''extremely'' unlucky and happened to get 41 eggs that all hatched Miltank purely by chance, but I think that's unlikely.

::The only sources I can find online that support the Miltank/Tauros breeding line are either questionable (user FAQs on the Marriland forum that contain other errors) or based on this site. [[User:Castorquinn|Castorquinn]] 22:30, 20 May 2008 (UTC)

== Ditto + Ditto? ==

Someone settle something for me: Can you breed Ditto with Ditto? - [[User:Cassius335|Cassius335]]

No. I tried. - [[User:MacGyver|MacGyver]]

Thanks. *notices the Discussion page for Ditto and wonders why he didn't look there in the first place*. - [[User:Cassius335|Cassius335]]

Then how are there wild ditto if they can't breed together?
Do they spontaneously appear or something? [[User:Chuck67322|Chuck67322]] 05:14, 4 August 2009 (UTC)

Ditto looks like a big pile of goo, maybe over time they split in half like bacteria. [[User:Darkcloud1111|Darkcloud1111]] 00:57, 17 August 2009 (UTC)

== Technical Question ==

Do the natures of the parents make any difference on whether or not they will produce an egg? I'm trying to get my Dragonite to give Outrage to a new Gible, and the old man in Solaceon says they don't like eachother at all... Obviously that's not good, but why, and what can I do to change it?
:At all? ..are you sure you're breeding a Dragonite with a <s>complete haxxmacheen</s> Garchomp? Cause I do believeth that Garchomp and Dragonite can breed. o_o; {{ani|281}}[[User:TinaTheKirlia|Tina]][[User:TinaTheKirlia/Sandbox|☆]][[User:TinaTheKirlia/Favorites|♥]][[User talk:TinaTheKirlia|♫]]{{Ani|380}} 04:07, 8 November 2007 (UTC)

:I have had similar problems. Sometimes I always make sure to check the Egg Groups before I attempt breeding, but every once in a while, the Daycare Man in Diamond tells me that they dislike each other. (oops, forgot to sign) --[[User:Dual|Dual]] 05:09, 16 November 2007 (UTC)

There's no problem at all, peeps! If 'They don't like each other very much' it doesn't matter! AS long as they don't totally despise each other that's okay. I tried Ditto with my Lucario (TTE said it would work) and it worked altough they didn't like each other!

::Why do I feel compelled to respond to this comment by saying "Rape!"[[User:Mystrich|Mystrich]] 06:06, 24 February 2008 (UTC)

The message “They don´t seem to like each other much.” indicates that the Pokémon are of different species but have the same trainer IDs, which means that out of all breedable Pokémon pairs, they have the lowest chance of producing an egg. This lower chance translates to a statistically longer period of waiting until the Daycare man hands you the egg, but nothing beyond that. [[User:Unown Lord|Unown Lord]] 10:25, 16 November 2007 (UTC)

I think it means that it's sort of like when two people pretend to hate each other but they really love each other but don't know it themselves. Eventually they find what they have in common and fall in love. [[User:TorchicBlaziken|TorchicBlaziken]] ([[User_talk:TorchicBlaziken|talk]]) 15:24, 1 November 2008 (UTC)
== Question ==

"However, there are two pairs of Pokémon species where the male and female are treated as different Pokémon. In these cases, the egg may hatch into either the male or female species:

*[[Nidoran♀ (Pokémon)|Nidoran♀]] and [[Nidoran♂ (Pokémon)|Nidoran♂]]
*[[Illumise (Pokémon)|Illumise]] and [[Volbeat (Pokémon)|Volbeat]]"

Would this also be true in the case of Tauros and Miltank? Could a Miltank have an egg containing Tauros? Just asking cause it's not listed in the article. --[[Special:Contributions/Kenji-girl|☆]][[Tracey Sketchit|ケンジ]][[User:Kenji-girl|ガール]] 10:17, 18 November 2007 (UTC)

Would it be true to say that only the female can lay and egg that could be either? I tried breeding a Nidoran♂ with a Ditto to get a [[Nidoran♀ (Pokémon)|♀]] but I just ended up with a dozen [[Nidoran♂ (Pokémon)|♂]]s. I did succesfully get a [[Volbeat (Pokémon)|Volbeat]] from an [[Illumise (Pokémon)|Illumise]].
Oh, and [[Tauros (Pokémon)|Tauros]] and [[Miltank (Pokémon)|Miltank]] are also linked.. [[User:Woodland Mudkip|Woodland Mudkip]] ☆{{MS|001|Bulbasaur}} 11:02, 18 November 2007 (UTC)

:Your first assertion is correct, and has thus been added to the page. As noted in a paragraph above by myself, Tauros and Miltank are simply not linked. It seems to me that the disillusion of not having a calf-like Pokémon as a pre-evolution to both, has caused a multitude of fans to believe in some fabricated indication that one is forthcoming. [[User:Unown Lord|Unown Lord]] 06:24, 22 November 2007 (UTC)

== TMs ==

Can you pass down TM moves that weren't learned by TM? I'm going to breed my male Banette with Will-O-Wisp (Learned naturally) with a female Drifloon, and I'm wondering if it'll pass down Will-O-Wisp... {{ani|281}}[[User:TinaTheKirlia|Tina]][[User:TinaTheKirlia/Sandbox|☆]][[User:TinaTheKirlia/Favorites|♥]][[User talk:TinaTheKirlia|♫]][http://freewebs.com/thepixelcafe δ]{{MS|281|Kirlia}} 20:10, 25 November 2007 (UTC)

Inbreeding is when closely related individuals mate and have children. It's very taboo in human culture but animal breeders do this with certain breeds of an animal, like dogs. It's not a good idea for people inbreed because recessive genes could be more pronounced and genetic defects can occur. - PDL

== Uhh yeah ==

Uhm. This is weird, but i've had two weird things happen with breeding that make little sense. Like, first, this happened today, i put my Shieldon and Cranidos in the day-care (one female, the other male) and the old man said "These two prefer too play with other Pokémon" and i like, i came back too get them and they'd had an egg, and last time i checked, "They prefer too play with other Pokémon" meant they weren't going too have an egg (i took the egg anyway). Uhm, the second thing, which is really weird, happened a few months ago on my Pokémon Emerald, i put my male Charizard and male Blaziken in the Daycare (cos i'm too lazy too train them myself) ...and they had an egg |: Last time i checked, Guy + Guy does not = baby/egg |: I'm 100% sure they we're both male. I was pretty sure it was just a glitch in the game, but i was wondering if it's happened too anyone else? (also, the egg was a normal Torchic, normal stats, normal moves, nothing weird/glitch-y about it)

==Length of time to breed==
After getting frustrated by the time it took to breed on my old silver version, I looked around for information on how long it takes two pokemon to have an egg, and I found [http://www.angelfire.com/wizard/rossos_pokemon/breeding.html this site]. This is information I think bulbapedia needs. The problem is, I don't have any other sources on it, it doesn't say if the formula holds true for later Gens as well, and the author admits that his numbers are estimates.

Hi I've tried to breed my Eevee several times but everytime time I do I get male Eevees and I kinda wanna have a female one, I was wondering if there's any way to force an egg to hatch into a female pokemon r something, I've tried hatching it in Foarama town like I read somewhere but that didnt work..

== Multiple eggs ==

I've been hatching several eggs at a time (getting three eggs, storing the parents, and then running up and down), and the number of steps in between hatches is always a multiple of 255, with 510 as the minimum (recent numbers are 510 and 1275). The steps between picking up the eggs are as low as 256, and I was carrying around Camerupt with Magma Armor. The numbers don't make sense unless there's some delay added to the other eggs when picking up eggs or hatching them, or some other weird hidden factor.

:::The article is a bit ambiguous on this point, it says "And starting in crystal, move tutor moves" in brackets under section 1.3.3 (passing moves down) - which could mean "only in crystal", or it could mean "from crystal onwards". Currently, in Soul Silver, I'm breeding a Cyndaquil with extrasensory, and I tried to teach it heat wave at the same time (to save me tutoring it later) by breeding a Vulpix that knows it from Growlithe (egg move). Vulpix had Extrasensory and Heat Wave (and flamethrower and fire spin) when I bred it with Quilava, but the resulting Cyndaquil only knew extrasensory and flamethrower, despite the fact that Cyndaquil can be tutored Heat Wave (I wasn't expecting Fire Spin though). I think this means that move tutor moves are NOT passed down, but TMs are passed down no problem. I'd quite like to hear from anyone who's done a bit more research into this though - it might just be a flaw in the way I did the breeding (though I doubt it, since Extrasensory worked out fine). Oh - and I think that section should also include information about ditto-move-breeding. I know moves held by females aren't carried down when breeding with ditto - do male+ditto couples pass on moves held by the male, like normal? [[User:NLawson|NLawson]] 04:20, 5 April 2010 (UTC)

(Rao and Inbaraj, 1980).

== A question about IVs... ==

In HGSS, by using the EV Enhancers you can choose to pass a specific IV from a parent to their offspring. My question is this: Is it possible to have the passed down IV overwriten if the other parent passes down a higher IV of the same stat? For example, If I was trying to breed a Bronzong with a speed IV of zero and I used a Power Anklet to pass the zero stat from one parent, could the other parent then pass down it's higher speed IV, overwriting the IV I actually wanted? ~ [[User:Ender Phoenix|Ender Phoenix]] 00:46, 11 March 2010 (UTC)
:Yes. Me and some friends confirmed this by accident a while back when trying to breed for IVs. Furthermore, a lower IV can replace a higher one, which is what actually happened in our experiences. In my case, I was trying to breed a perfect Attack/Speed Scyther with Jolly nature from a perfect attack Scyther (holding a Power Bracer) and a perfect speed Volbeat (holding a Power Anklet). The first Jolly Scyther I got had perfect speed, but imperfect attack. Upon checking the Volbeat's IVs, it had indeed inherited the Volbeat's attack IV, overwriting the IV passed on by the Power Bracer. I think what this means is that the EV training items just force the first one or two IVs that are chosen (depending on how many you;re using) and then the last one/two is/are chosen randomly with the possibility of overwriting the previously passed IV(s). Anyway, I'm gonna go ahead and edit this into the article (minus the details of the experiment). - [[User:Sensei Hanzo|Sensei Hanzo]] 15:16, 26 May 2010 (UTC)

== Everstone and Nature inheritance from non-Ditto males in Diamond/Pearl ==
Under the "Inheriting Natures" section, it says: "In Generation IV inheriting Nature was changed a little. Whichever Pokémon is holding an Everstone will pass down its nature, '''regardless of gender''', or whether it is breeding with a ditto."

The "regardless of gender" bit is problematic. It contradicts Smogon University's Breeding Guide (Part II), which states:

"In EDP, if a '''female''' Pokémon is holding the item Everstone and breeds with a male Pokémon, the baby will have a 50% chance of having the same nature as the female Pokémon. This also works if the Pokémon holding Everstone is Ditto."

I am playing Diamond. To test, I've attempted to breed a Cubone with the Lonely nature by using a male Nidoran (Lonely nature) and a female Cubone (Hardy nature). The male Nidoran is holding an Everstone while in the Daycare. So far, it has produced '''29''' Cubones, spanning '''17''' different natures, '''none of which have the Lonely nature'''.

Right now the paragraph needs to be changed, and what I'd like to determine is whether it's A) completely false for any game in the series, or B) true only for specific games. [[User:Fyda|Fyda]] 07:18, 5 June 2010 (UTC)

Yeah, something's definitely wrong with the Generation IV natures part. On HeartGold I've had an adamant Ditto holding an Everstone and an Adamant Croagunk breeding. I hatched countless eggs and none of the Croagunks had an adamant nature. I get the feeling that breeding two pokemon with the same nature will '''NEVER''' result in a pokemon with that nature. I tried using a Croagunk with a naughty nature. none of the four Croagunks had an adamant nature. So that part where it talks about an everstone always passing on a nature is wrong.

== Lists of egg moves ==

(Not actually about this page, rather about lists of moves learned by breeding, e.g. [[Pichu (Pokémon)#By breeding]].) Two questions:

Firstly, where does the list of fathers come from? Is it programmed into the game that a given Pokémon can have a move passed down from X, Y or Z, or is it simply a list of all Pokémon that could both father this Pokémon and legitimately have the move?

Secondly, why do we have lists of egg moves for Pokémon which cannot be the product of breeding, e.g. [[Raichu (Pokémon)#By breeding]]? Does this data exist in the game, and if so, how would one exploit it? Or have we merely copied the egg moves of its pre-evolved form? In the former case the list seems unnecessary, in the latter it seems both unnecessary and erroneous.

:The answer to your first question is that yes, it's just a list of all Pokémon which could both father the Pokémon and legitimately obtain the move. The answer to your second question is that the list is indeed copied from the pre-evolution's egg moves.
:Both of these are for convenience, as Black Yin Zekrom explained. The lists of potential fathers would otherwise need to be obtained by comparing the list of Pokémon which could have the move and the list of which egg moves the desired Pokémon would have, which would be a lot of work which ought to be done by us beforehand, if we intend for people to use this site as a resource. The lists of egg moves for evolved Pokémon helps people who are building a competitive team to find which moves a fully-evolved Pokémon would have, without having to reference its first stage.

== Generation II breeding ==

Is Parent/offspring breeding COMPLETELY off the table in these games? Seems to me the only check is the IV one, but there are scenarios where it could be bypassed. For example, a male breeds with Ditto and produces a female. The male and Ditto obviously have different Defense and Special IVs (or Special +/- 8), and so the male parent and female offspring should also have different Defense and Special IVs.

As mentioned [[Talk:Pokémon breeding#Abilities|at the beginning of the talk page]] there was previous rumors abilities could be passed down, but according to [[Pokémon Dream World#Breeding mechanics|this]], with the new hidden abilities this actually seems to be the case. So shouldn't this be included on the page? [[User:Tasty Salamanders|Tasty Salamanders]] 09:27, 14 December 2010 (UTC)

:Out of 16 eggs with a Ditto and a Nidoran Female with Hustle, none of them hatched to have Hustle. Not impossible, but improbable. I have also not had it occur for any of my other Pokemon with Dream World abilities, out of 60-ish eggs total. I'd say this warrants further checking, but I'm inclined to think that they do not pass on through Ditto. [[User:TheBeardedRobot|TheBeardedRobot]] 06:49, 17 April 2011 (UTC)
::They don't, it was also researched by Smogon as far as I remember.

I'm curious about the probability of the child inheriting the mother's Dream World ability, too. To test it, I've bred and hatched 30 {{p|Shinx}} eggs from my female {{p|Luxray}} (originally from the Dream World) and a traded male {{p|Stoutland}}. My personal results are as follows:

* Genders: 14 male, 16 female
* Abilities: 4 {{a|Intimidate}}, 9 {{a|Rivalry}}, 18 {{a|Guts}}

The gender split is typical for their species, and so is the Intimidate/Rivalry split. But I also happen to have 60% of them born with the mother's Dream World ability, Guts. (All 30 were born with the father's specific moveset of Fire/Ice/Thunder Fang and Crunch.) This implies that the chance of a mother passing down her Dream World ability via breeding is somewhere in the range of 1 in 2, 2 in 3, or 3 in 5. Does anyone have (or know of) more samples to establish the probability with? --''[[User:Stratelier|Stratelier]] 20:38, 17 May 2011 (UTC)''

:PS: Smogon states a probability of 40%, and a few other varied discussion threads echo that number, but as my one experiment is a fairly large deviation from that I am not sure.

:::::The number of steps taken for an egg to hatch is determined in cycles of 256, each 256 steps you take makes the number of cycles still needed decrease by one, so if for example you receive an egg when the game is in the 1st step of a cycle and then get another egg within the same cycle (within 255 steps) the two eggs' will reach a cycle of 0 at the same time, and since two eggs can't hatch at the same time, the game hatches it on the next step.

The breeding page states "However, there are two pairs of Pokémon species where the male and female are treated as different Pokémon. In these cases, an egg produced by the female species may hatch into either the male or female variant; however, breeding the male species with Ditto will not produce the female counterpart." In White, I have definitely bred a Nidoran♂ (received from the Dream World and definitely not hacked) with Ditto and received the female counterpart. I've reproduced this several times, and it seems the chances between male and female are about 50/50. I do not know if Volbeat/Illumise are now the same way. Has anyone else tested this?

A couple of strange things happened to me when I was breeding a male Blaziken with a female Phanpy (which is strange enough in itself, I guess)
#When the egg hatched, the Phanpy knew Rock Smash. This shouldn't have been able to happen because I had previously deleted Rock Smash from Blaziken via the Move Deleter guy.
#The Phanpy hatched holding a PP Up! Needless to say, I was thrilled, but is there any reason for this occurance? Is it random or predictable?

Im actually thinking that Phanphy can learn Rock Smash, so if Blaziken knew it then there are still "reminints" of Rock Smash there, as shown by the move relearner guy.

Crap, thanks for pointing that out. Dang... But on another note, you CAN pass abilities legitimately, but I misread: they are passed along by the mother, so it would stay in the proper species.

I can't actually PROVE this, but in my experience, the Everstone seems to have a similar effect on Abilities to the one it has on Natures.

Can anybody confirm for certain that their eggs are supposed to be 50% Tauros and 50% Miltank?

[[User:Drapion|Drapion]] 17:28, 11 July 2007 (UTC)

I believe no one bothered to fix it then due to the possibility of that holding true in the upcoming games, and since their release everyone has assumed the statement to be true because it was on the page so early on. Regardless of the reason, this note should have long been removed; it is easy to verify that even when breeding Miltank and Tauros ''together'' in the latest games, the product is still always a Miltank.

If it turns out you can, then feel free to revert the page - I haven't hacked the code, this is entirely based on testing, so it's possibly that I was ''extremely'' unlucky and happened to get 41 eggs that all hatched Miltank purely by chance, but I think that's unlikely.

Inbreeding is when closely related individuals mate and have children. It's very taboo in human culture but animal breeders do this with certain breeds of an animal, like dogs. It's not a good idea for people inbreed because recessive genes could be more pronounced and genetic defects can occur. - PDL

== Uhh yeah ==

Uhm. This is weird, but i've had two weird things happen with breeding that make little sense. Like, first, this happened today, i put my Shieldon and Cranidos in the day-care (one female, the other male) and the old man said "These two prefer too play with other Pokémon" and i like, i came back too get them and they'd had an egg, and last time i checked, "They prefer too play with other Pokémon" meant they weren't going too have an egg (i took the egg anyway). Uhm, the second thing, which is really weird, happened a few months ago on my Pokémon Emerald, i put my male Charizard and male Blaziken in the Daycare (cos i'm too lazy too train them myself) ...and they had an egg |: Last time i checked, Guy + Guy does not = baby/egg |: I'm 100% sure they we're both male. I was pretty sure it was just a glitch in the game, but i was wondering if it's happened too anyone else? (also, the egg was a normal Torchic, normal stats, normal moves, nothing weird/glitch-y about it)

==Length of time to breed==
After getting frustrated by the time it took to breed on my old silver version, I looked around for information on how long it takes two pokemon to have an egg, and I found [http://www.angelfire.com/wizard/rossos_pokemon/breeding.html this site]. This is information I think bulbapedia needs. The problem is, I don't have any other sources on it, it doesn't say if the formula holds true for later Gens as well, and the author admits that his numbers are estimates.

== Multiple eggs ==

I've been hatching several eggs at a time (getting three eggs, storing the parents, and then running up and down), and the number of steps in between hatches is always a multiple of 255, with 510 as the minimum (recent numbers are 510 and 1275). The steps between picking up the eggs are as low as 256, and I was carrying around Camerupt with Magma Armor. The numbers don't make sense unless there's some delay added to the other eggs when picking up eggs or hatching them, or some other weird hidden factor.

:::The article is a bit ambiguous on this point, it says "And starting in crystal, move tutor moves" in brackets under section 1.3.3 (passing moves down) - which could mean "only in crystal", or it could mean "from crystal onwards". Currently, in Soul Silver, I'm breeding a Cyndaquil with extrasensory, and I tried to teach it heat wave at the same time (to save me tutoring it later) by breeding a Vulpix that knows it from Growlithe (egg move). Vulpix had Extrasensory and Heat Wave (and flamethrower and fire spin) when I bred it with Quilava, but the resulting Cyndaquil only knew extrasensory and flamethrower, despite the fact that Cyndaquil can be tutored Heat Wave (I wasn't expecting Fire Spin though). I think this means that move tutor moves are NOT passed down, but TMs are passed down no problem. I'd quite like to hear from anyone who's done a bit more research into this though - it might just be a flaw in the way I did the breeding (though I doubt it, since Extrasensory worked out fine). Oh - and I think that section should also include information about ditto-move-breeding. I know moves held by females aren't carried down when breeding with ditto - do male+ditto couples pass on moves held by the male, like normal? [[User:NLawson|NLawson]] 04:20, 5 April 2010 (UTC)

== A question about IVs... ==

In HGSS, by using the EV Enhancers you can choose to pass a specific IV from a parent to their offspring. My question is this: Is it possible to have the passed down IV overwriten if the other parent passes down a higher IV of the same stat? For example, If I was trying to breed a Bronzong with a speed IV of zero and I used a Power Anklet to pass the zero stat from one parent, could the other parent then pass down it's higher speed IV, overwriting the IV I actually wanted? ~ [[User:Ender Phoenix|Ender Phoenix]] 00:46, 11 March 2010 (UTC)
:Yes. Me and some friends confirmed this by accident a while back when trying to breed for IVs. Furthermore, a lower IV can replace a higher one, which is what actually happened in our experiences. In my case, I was trying to breed a perfect Attack/Speed Scyther with Jolly nature from a perfect attack Scyther (holding a Power Bracer) and a perfect speed Volbeat (holding a Power Anklet). The first Jolly Scyther I got had perfect speed, but imperfect attack. Upon checking the Volbeat's IVs, it had indeed inherited the Volbeat's attack IV, overwriting the IV passed on by the Power Bracer. I think what this means is that the EV training items just force the first one or two IVs that are chosen (depending on how many you;re using) and then the last one/two is/are chosen randomly with the possibility of overwriting the previously passed IV(s). Anyway, I'm gonna go ahead and edit this into the article (minus the details of the experiment). - [[User:Sensei Hanzo|Sensei Hanzo]] 15:16, 26 May 2010 (UTC)

== Everstone and Nature inheritance from non-Ditto males in Diamond/Pearl ==
Under the "Inheriting Natures" section, it says: "In Generation IV inheriting Nature was changed a little. Whichever Pokémon is holding an Everstone will pass down its nature, '''regardless of gender''', or whether it is breeding with a ditto."

The "regardless of gender" bit is problematic. It contradicts Smogon University's Breeding Guide (Part II), which states:

"In EDP, if a '''female''' Pokémon is holding the item Everstone and breeds with a male Pokémon, the baby will have a 50% chance of having the same nature as the female Pokémon. This also works if the Pokémon holding Everstone is Ditto."

I am playing Diamond. To test, I've attempted to breed a Cubone with the Lonely nature by using a male Nidoran (Lonely nature) and a female Cubone (Hardy nature). The male Nidoran is holding an Everstone while in the Daycare. So far, it has produced '''29''' Cubones, spanning '''17''' different natures, '''none of which have the Lonely nature'''.

Right now the paragraph needs to be changed, and what I'd like to determine is whether it's A) completely false for any game in the series, or B) true only for specific games. [[User:Fyda|Fyda]] 07:18, 5 June 2010 (UTC)

Yeah, something's definitely wrong with the Generation IV natures part. On HeartGold I've had an adamant Ditto holding an Everstone and an Adamant Croagunk breeding. I hatched countless eggs and none of the Croagunks had an adamant nature. I get the feeling that breeding two pokemon with the same nature will '''NEVER''' result in a pokemon with that nature. I tried using a Croagunk with a naughty nature. none of the four Croagunks had an adamant nature. So that part where it talks about an everstone always passing on a nature is wrong.

== Lists of egg moves ==

(Not actually about this page, rather about lists of moves learned by breeding, e.g. [[Pichu (Pokémon)#By breeding]].) Two questions:

Firstly, where does the list of fathers come from? Is it programmed into the game that a given Pokémon can have a move passed down from X, Y or Z, or is it simply a list of all Pokémon that could both father this Pokémon and legitimately have the move?

Secondly, why do we have lists of egg moves for Pokémon which cannot be the product of breeding, e.g. [[Raichu (Pokémon)#By breeding]]? Does this data exist in the game, and if so, how would one exploit it? Or have we merely copied the egg moves of its pre-evolved form? In the former case the list seems unnecessary, in the latter it seems both unnecessary and erroneous.

:The answer to your first question is that yes, it's just a list of all Pokémon which could both father the Pokémon and legitimately obtain the move. The answer to your second question is that the list is indeed copied from the pre-evolution's egg moves.
:Both of these are for convenience, as Black Yin Zekrom explained. The lists of potential fathers would otherwise need to be obtained by comparing the list of Pokémon which could have the move and the list of which egg moves the desired Pokémon would have, which would be a lot of work which ought to be done by us beforehand, if we intend for people to use this site as a resource. The lists of egg moves for evolved Pokémon helps people who are building a competitive team to find which moves a fully-evolved Pokémon would have, without having to reference its first stage.

== Generation II breeding ==

Is Parent/offspring breeding COMPLETELY off the table in these games? Seems to me the only check is the IV one, but there are scenarios where it could be bypassed. For example, a male breeds with Ditto and produces a female. The male and Ditto obviously have different Defense and Special IVs (or Special +/- 8), and so the male parent and female offspring should also have different Defense and Special IVs. In this case, since they'd share the same egg groups, the game should allow them to breed, correct? [[User:Starscream|Starscream]] 22:00, 8 December 2010 (UTC)

== Abilities Redux: Hidden abilities ==

As mentioned [[Talk:Pokémon breeding#Abilities|at the beginning of the talk page]] there was previous rumors abilities could be passed down, but according to [[Pokémon Dream World#Breeding mechanics|this]], with the new hidden abilities this actually seems to be the case. So shouldn't this be included on the page? [[User:Tasty Salamanders|Tasty Salamanders]] 09:27, 14 December 2010 (UTC)

:Out of 16 eggs with a Ditto and a Nidoran Female with Hustle, none of them hatched to have Hustle. Not impossible, but improbable. I have also not had it occur for any of my other Pokemon with Dream World abilities, out of 60-ish eggs total. I'd say this warrants further checking, but I'm inclined to think that they do not pass on through Ditto. [[User:TheBeardedRobot|TheBeardedRobot]] 06:49, 17 April 2011 (UTC)
::They don't, it was also researched by Smogon as far as I remember.

I'm curious about the probability of the child inheriting the mother's Dream World ability, too. To test it, I've bred and hatched 30 {{p|Shinx}} eggs from my female {{p|Luxray}} (originally from the Dream World) and a traded male {{p|Stoutland}}. My personal results are as follows:

* Genders: 14 male, 16 female
* Abilities: 4 {{a|Intimidate}}, 9 {{a|Rivalry}}, 18 {{a|Guts}}

The gender split is typical for their species, and so is the Intimidate/Rivalry split. But I also happen to have 60% of them born with the mother's Dream World ability, Guts. (All 30 were born with the father's specific moveset of Fire/Ice/Thunder Fang and Crunch.) This implies that the chance of a mother passing down her Dream World ability via breeding is somewhere in the range of 1 in 2, 2 in 3, or 3 in 5. Does anyone have (or know of) more samples to establish the probability with? --''[[User:Stratelier|Stratelier]] 20:38, 17 May 2011 (UTC)''

In White, I have definitely bred a Nidoran♂ (received from the Dream World and definitely not hacked) with Ditto and received the female counterpart. I've reproduced this several times, and it seems the chances between male and female are about 50/50. I do not know if Volbeat/Illumise are now the same way. Has anyone else tested this?

If it turns out you can, then feel free to revert the page - I haven't hacked the code, this is entirely based on testing, so it's possibly that I was ''extremely'' unlucky and happened to get 41 eggs that all hatched Miltank purely by chance, but I think that's unlikely.

Inbreeding is when closely related individuals mate and have children. It's very taboo in human culture but animal breeders do this with certain breeds of an animal, like dogs. It's not a good idea for people inbreed because recessive genes could be more pronounced and genetic defects can occur. - PDL

== Uhh yeah ==

Uhm. This is weird, but i've had two weird things happen with breeding that make little sense. Like, first, this happened today, i put my Shieldon and Cranidos in the day-care (one female, the other male) and the old man said "These two prefer too play with other Pokémon" and i like, i came back too get them and they'd had an egg, and last time i checked, "They prefer too play with other Pokémon" meant they weren't going too have an egg (i took the egg anyway). Uhm, the second thing, which is really weird, happened a few months ago on my Pokémon Emerald, i put my male Charizard and male Blaziken in the Daycare (cos i'm too lazy too train them myself) ...and they had an egg |: Last time i checked, Guy + Guy does not = baby/egg |: I'm 100% sure they we're both male. I was pretty sure it was just a glitch in the game, but i was wondering if it's happened too anyone else? (also, the egg was a normal Torchic, normal stats, normal moves, nothing weird/glitch-y about it)

After getting frustrated by the time it took to breed on my old silver version, I looked around for information on how long it takes two pokemon to have an egg, and I found [http://www.angelfire.com/wizard/rossos_pokemon/breeding.html this site]. This is information I think bulbapedia needs. The problem is, I don't have any other sources on it, it doesn't say if the formula holds true for later Gens as well, and the author admits that his numbers are estimates.

== Multiple eggs ==

I've been hatching several eggs at a time (getting three eggs, storing the parents, and then running up and down), and the number of steps in between hatches is always a multiple of 255, with 510 as the minimum (recent numbers are 510 and 1275). The steps between picking up the eggs are as low as 256, and I was carrying around Camerupt with Magma Armor. The numbers don't make sense unless there's some delay added to the other eggs when picking up eggs or hatching them, or some other weird hidden factor.

:::The article is a bit ambiguous on this point, it says "And starting in crystal, move tutor moves" in brackets under section 1.3.3 (passing moves down) - which could mean "only in crystal", or it could mean "from crystal onwards". Currently, in Soul Silver, I'm breeding a Cyndaquil with extrasensory, and I tried to teach it heat wave at the same time (to save me tutoring it later) by breeding a Vulpix that knows it from Growlithe (egg move). Vulpix had Extrasensory and Heat Wave (and flamethrower and fire spin) when I bred it with Quilava, but the resulting Cyndaquil only knew extrasensory and flamethrower, despite the fact that Cyndaquil can be tutored Heat Wave (I wasn't expecting Fire Spin though). I think this means that move tutor moves are NOT passed down, but TMs are passed down no problem. I'd quite like to hear from anyone who's done a bit more research into this though - it might just be a flaw in the way I did the breeding (though I doubt it, since Extrasensory worked out fine). Oh - and I think that section should also include information about ditto-move-breeding. I know moves held by females aren't carried down when breeding with ditto - do male+ditto couples pass on moves held by the male, like normal? [[User:NLawson|NLawson]] 04:20, 5 April 2010 (UTC)

== A question about IVs... ==

In HGSS, by using the EV Enhancers you can choose to pass a specific IV from a parent to their offspring. My question is this: Is it possible to have the passed down IV overwriten if the other parent passes down a higher IV of the same stat? For example, If I was trying to breed a Bronzong with a speed IV of zero and I used a Power Anklet to pass the zero stat from one parent, could the other parent then pass down it's higher speed IV, overwriting the IV I actually wanted? ~ [[User:Ender Phoenix|Ender Phoenix]] 00:46, 11 March 2010 (UTC)
:Yes. Me and some friends confirmed this by accident a while back when trying to breed for IVs. Furthermore, a lower IV can replace a higher one, which is what actually happened in our experiences. In my case, I was trying to breed a perfect Attack/Speed Scyther with Jolly nature from a perfect attack Scyther (holding a Power Bracer) and a perfect speed Volbeat (holding a Power Anklet). The first Jolly Scyther I got had perfect speed, but imperfect attack. Upon checking the Volbeat's IVs, it had indeed inherited the Volbeat's attack IV, overwriting the IV passed on by the Power Bracer. I think what this means is that the EV training items just force the first one or two IVs that are chosen (depending on how many you;re using) and then the last one/two is/are chosen randomly with the possibility of overwriting the previously passed IV(s). Anyway, I'm gonna go ahead and edit this into the article (minus the details of the experiment). - [[User:Sensei Hanzo|Sensei Hanzo]] 15:16, 26 May 2010 (UTC)

== Everstone and Nature inheritance from non-Ditto males in Diamond/Pearl ==
Under the "Inheriting Natures" section, it says: "In Generation IV inheriting Nature was changed a little. Whichever Pokémon is holding an Everstone will pass down its nature, '''regardless of gender''', or whether it is breeding with a ditto."

The "regardless of gender" bit is problematic. It contradicts Smogon University's Breeding Guide (Part II), which states:

"In EDP, if a '''female''' Pokémon is holding the item Everstone and breeds with a male Pokémon, the baby will have a 50% chance of having the same nature as the female Pokémon. This also works if the Pokémon holding Everstone is Ditto."

I am playing Diamond. To test, I've attempted to breed a Cubone with the Lonely nature by using a male Nidoran (Lonely nature) and a female Cubone (Hardy nature). The male Nidoran is holding an Everstone while in the Daycare. So far, it has produced '''29''' Cubones, spanning '''17''' different natures, '''none of which have the Lonely nature'''.

Right now the paragraph needs to be changed, and what I'd like to determine is whether it's A) completely false for any game in the series, or B) true only for specific games.

Yeah, something's definitely wrong with the Generation IV natures part. On HeartGold I've had an adamant Ditto holding an Everstone and an Adamant Croagunk breeding. I hatched countless eggs and none of the Croagunks had an adamant nature. I get the feeling that breeding two pokemon with the same nature will '''NEVER''' result in a pokemon with that nature. I tried using a Croagunk with a naughty nature. none of the four Croagunks had an adamant nature. So that part where it talks about an everstone always passing on a nature is wrong.

Firstly, where does the list of fathers come from? Is it programmed into the game that a given Pokémon can have a move passed down from X, Y or Z, or is it simply a list of all Pokémon that could both father this Pokémon and legitimately have the move?

Secondly, why do we have lists of egg moves for Pokémon which cannot be the product of breeding, e.g. [[Raichu (Pokémon)#By breeding]]? Does this data exist in the game, and if so, how would one exploit it? Or have we merely copied the egg moves of its pre-evolved form? In the former case the list seems unnecessary, in the latter it seems both unnecessary and erroneous. [[User:Smithers888|Smit]][[User:Smithers888|hers]][[User talk:Smithers888|888]] 22:24, 10 October 2010 (UTC)

The second one I can more or less answer. I would assume that it's there for convenience.--[[User:Black Yin Zekrom|Black Yin Zekrom]] 22:38, 10 October 2010 (UTC)

:The answer to your first question is that yes, it's just a list of all Pokémon which could both father the Pokémon and legitimately obtain the move. The answer to your second question is that the list is indeed copied from the pre-evolution's egg moves.
:Both of these are for convenience, as Black Yin Zekrom explained. The lists of potential fathers would otherwise need to be obtained by comparing the list of Pokémon which could have the move and the list of which egg moves the desired Pokémon would have, which would be a lot of work which ought to be done by us beforehand, if we intend for people to use this site as a resource. The lists of egg moves for evolved Pokémon helps people who are building a competitive team to find which moves a fully-evolved Pokémon would have, without having to reference its first stage. It is extraneous, but it's also helpful for people who use Bulbapedia to make decisions regarding their games. --[[User:AndyPKMN|AndyPKMN]] 23:04, 10 October 2010 (UTC)

::The first part is as I suspected. For the second part, I understand the reasoning, however it doesn't work completely. A player still has to browse the pre-evolved form's page to discover, for example, that Raichu could have Discharge, but only by level up as a Pikachu. --[[User:Smithers888|Smithers]][[User talk:Smithers888|888]] 20:17, 11 October 2010 (UTC)

Well then, of course they would look it up or do research.--[[User:Black Yin Zekrom|Black Yin Zekrom]] 02:45, 12 October 2010 (UTC)
:::I think you have a point. Perhaps you ought to raise the question with a staff member (I'd ask [[User:TTEchidna|TTE]], as he's the editor-in-chief and does a lot of work on the page layout for Pokémon articles). --[[User:AndyPKMN|AndyPKMN]] 11:37, 12 October 2010 (UTC)

== Generation II breeding ==

Is Parent/offspring breeding COMPLETELY off the table in these games? Seems to me the only check is the IV one, but there are scenarios where it could be bypassed. For example, a male breeds with Ditto and produces a female. The male and Ditto obviously have different Defense and Special IVs (or Special +/- 8), and so the male parent and female offspring should also have different Defense and Special IVs. In this case, since they'd share the same egg groups, the game should allow them to breed, correct? [[User:Starscream|Starscream]] 22:00, 8 December 2010 (UTC)

== Abilities Redux: Hidden abilities ==

As mentioned [[Talk:Pokémon breeding#Abilities|at the beginning of the talk page]] there was previous rumors abilities could be passed down, but according to [[Pokémon Dream World#Breeding mechanics|this]], with the new hidden abilities this actually seems to be the case. So shouldn't this be included on the page? [[User:Tasty Salamanders|Tasty Salamanders]] 09:27, 14 December 2010 (UTC)

:Out of 16 eggs with a Ditto and a Nidoran Female with Hustle, none of them hatched to have Hustle. Not impossible, but improbable. I have also not had it occur for any of my other Pokemon with Dream World abilities, out of 60-ish eggs total. I'd say this warrants further checking, but I'm inclined to think that they do not pass on through Ditto. [[User:TheBeardedRobot|TheBeardedRobot]] 06:49, 17 April 2011 (UTC)
::They don't, it was also researched by Smogon as far as I remember. Breeding with Ditto will never result in ofspring inheriting DW ability (Though it's unknown, how Ditto with it's own Hidden ability will work). — ∀<tt>[[User:ЫъГЬ|ЫъГѣ]] ∃[[User_talk:ЫъГЬ|Talk page]]</tt> 10:39, 17 April 2011 (UTC)

I'm curious about the probability of the child inheriting the mother's Dream World ability, too. To test it, I've bred and hatched 30 {{p|Shinx}} eggs from my female {{p|Luxray}} (originally from the Dream World) and a traded male {{p|Stoutland}}. My personal results are as follows:

* Genders: 14 male, 16 female
* Abilities: 4 {{a|Intimidate}}, 9 {{a|Rivalry}}, 18 {{a|Guts}}

The gender split is typical for their species, and so is the Intimidate/Rivalry split. But I also happen to have 60% of them born with the mother's Dream World ability, Guts. (All 30 were born with the father's specific moveset of Fire/Ice/Thunder Fang and Crunch.) This implies that the chance of a mother passing down her Dream World ability via breeding is somewhere in the range of 1 in 2, 2 in 3, or 3 in 5. Does anyone have (or know of) more samples to establish the probability with? --''[[User:Stratelier|Stratelier]] 20:38, 17 May 2011 (UTC)''

:PS: Smogon states a probability of 40%, and a few other varied discussion threads echo that number, but as my one experiment is a fairly large deviation from that I am not sure. And Serebii.net merely says "a high chance", whatever that means. --''--''[[User:Stratelier|Stratelier]]'' 21:13, 17 May 2011 (UTC)''

== Baruchai and Barujiina ==

About the part of Illumise and Nidoran doing eggs of they counterparts... anyone tried to get Washibon and Wargle eggs from Baruchai and Barujiina, because their pages say that they are counterparts. I tried to breed a Baruchai and my male Kenhorou but no luck, although i only tried once. --[[User:EzekielMaple|EzekielMaple]] 00:51, 14 January 2011 (UTC)
: Wargle, along with Nageki, Dageki, Tauros, and the Hitmons, is one of the few gendered non-legendary Pokémon naturally occurring in the wild that cannot reproduce without a Ditto. [[User:Frozen Fennec|Frozen Fennec]] 00:55, 14 January 2011 (UTC)

== Power Items in HGSS ==

According to this article, in HGSS [[Power items]] will always pass corresponding stat, but I'm certain, it's happening not always. Baby still has a chance to have random IV in stat even if its parrent is holding Power Item that passes IV of that stat. Was breeding mechanic really researched fully? — ∀<tt>[[User:ЫъГЬ|ЫъГѣ]] ∃[[User_talk:ЫъГЬ|Talk page]]</tt> 08:05, 23 February 2011 (UTC)

== Twins? ==

Is it possible to get twins in Pokémon Black and White? I caught an Altaria in White and bred it with a Ditto to get a Swablu, but when I picked up the egg, the Daycare Man gave me another one immediately afterwards. —[[User:ShounenSuki|ShounenSuki]] 12:47, 22 April 2011 (UTC)
:Immediately? As in you didn't even take a single step in between receiving each egg? That would be interesting if you or someone else can confirm it. --[[User:AndyPKMN|AndyPKMN]] [[User talk:AndyPKMN|(talk)]] 14:27, 22 April 2011 (UTC)
::I've had an egg given to me and then went straight down and he called me again before I reached the stairs, so the minimum of 256 steps between eggs doesn't seem to apply this generation. [[User:Pikiwyn|'''Pikiwyn''']] [[User talk:Pikiwyn|<tt>'''''talk'''''</tt>]] 14:33, 22 April 2011 (UTC)
:::Immediately immediately. He gave me the first egg, then I wanted to go into the daycare to grab my Altaria, but I accidentally talked to him again (or it happened automatically) and he gave me the second egg. I didn't take a single step. —[[User:ShounenSuki|ShounenSuki]] 07:29, 23 April 2011 (UTC)
::::This has also happened to me. I picked up a Litwick egg, then took two steps down and he called out to me saying he had another egg.
::::Something else has happened too, a good three times now I've had one egg hatch, I'd then a single step only to have yet another egg hatch. Something is fishy here. [[User:Tylian|Tylian]] 21:49, 4 May 2011 (UTC)
:::::The number of steps taken for an egg to hatch is determined in cycles of 256, each 256 steps you take makes the number of cycles still needed decrease by one, so if for example you receive an egg when the game is in the 1st step of a cycle and then get another egg within the same cycle (within 255 steps) the two eggs' will reach a cycle of 0 at the same time, and since two eggs can't hatch at the same time, the game hatches it on the next step. So if you get two eggs shortly after each other they'll hatch one step after one another. [[User:Pikiwyn|'''Pikiwyn''']] [[User talk:Pikiwyn|<tt>'''''talk'''''</tt>]] 22:10, 4 May 2011 (UTC)
::::::It seems the number of steps for determining whether you get an egg or not has been drastically lowered in B/W. Both me AND my girlfriend were breeding to trade eggs, and the old man yelled to us before we could start running around to get the chance for an egg to appear. It seems in practice the egg creation check is after ''every'' step now, but I can't verify that until I start breeding more eggs. --[[User:KingStarscream|KingStarscream]] 18:03, 2 April 2012 (UTC)
I had the same in Sapphire (or Emerald, I forget which). After picking up my egg, I kept mashing A and ended up with two eggs. So I took no steps between getting my eggs. —'''darklord[[User talk:The dark lord trombonator|trom]]''' 03:53, 5 May 2011 (UTC)
: Almost reminds me of the time I was breeding Lapras in my White. By the time I walk into the Daycare to fetch my Lapras after receiving one Egg, the lady informs me her husband was looking for me -- violô, second egg. Not twins though; I must've crossed an egg cycle threshold during those 10 or so steps because the eggs hatched one cycle apart from each other. --''[[User:Stratelier|Stratelier]] 07:35, 17 May 2011 (UTC)''

== Nidoran♂/Ditto pairing in Gen V produces Nidoran♀ ==

The breeding page states "However, there are two pairs of Pokémon species where the male and female are treated as different Pokémon. In these cases, an egg produced by the female species may hatch into either the male or female variant; however, breeding the male species with Ditto will not produce the female counterpart." In White, I have definitely bred a Nidoran♂ (received from the Dream World and definitely not hacked) with Ditto and received the female counterpart. I've reproduced this several times, and it seems the chances between male and female are about 50/50. I do not know if Volbeat/Illumise are now the same way. Has anyone else tested this? [[User:Childowind|Childowind]] 00:36, 28 April 2011 (UTC)
:I definitely got a female Nidoran from breeding Ditto with my shiny Nidoking. - ''unsigned comment from [[User:Missingno. Master|Missingno. Master]] ([[User talk:Missingno. Master|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Missingno._Master|contribs]])'' 21:54, 3 May 2011 (UTC)

== Gen V Old man doesn't call out when party is full ==

Has anyone else noticed this? When my party is full in Black version, the old man doesn't call out to me even if he has an egg for me. I've had times where I've gone five or ten minutes waiting for all my eggs to hatch, and once I drop them all into the PC, I'll walk outside and talk to him and he has an egg for me. But he never called out to tell me he had one.

I just wanted confirmation before I added it to the page. [[User:Phantomjunkie|Phantom]]♫[[User talk:Phantomjunkie|Junkie]] 16:27, 26 May 2011 (UTC)

== Probably a nooby question ==

If you breed two different pokemon of the same egg group, is it completely random which of the two the egg will produce? Ex. Snivy + petilil = random? [[User:Em Jae|Em Jae]] 03:03, 28 May 2011 (UTC)
:The baby born will be the base species of the female. So in this case, if the female was Petilil, the baby will be a Petilil. :--[[User:SuperAipom7|SuperAipom7]] ''([[User talk:SuperAipom7|Questions?]])'' 03:04, 28 May 2011 (UTC)
::Thanks for the response. That was probably in the article and I missed it or something.. lol [[User:Em Jae|Em Jae]] 05:08, 28 May 2011 (UTC)

==Gender?==

What determines the egg's gender? Is it random, or is it calculated somehow? More specifically, I'm trying to get a female Chikorita in Generation II by breading a Bayleaf (didn't check gender) with a Ditto and I keep getting males. Am I just unlucky?--[[User:Winmaster|Winmaster]] 20:37, 29 May 2011 (UTC)
:The chances of a Pokémon being male or female is determined by their [[gender ratio]], you should get 1 female Chikorita for every 7 males. [[User:Pikiwyn|'''Pikiwyn''']] [[User talk:Pikiwyn|<tt>'''''talk'''''</tt>]] 08:40, 3 June 2011 (UTC)

==Nidoking & Ditto==

In this article, it says that a male Nidoran and a Ditto can produce both male or female Nidoran. But what happens if you put a Nidoking and a Ditto at day-care? They can still produce both female and male Nidoran? [[User:Caciulacdlac|Caciulacdlac]] 14:26, 3 July 2011 (UTC)

== TWINS!!!!==
In my attempts to breed a half-decent Lucario, I had an odd happening. Driving back and forth on route three, I talked to the Old man after he called me over, and clicked through what was said- and the conversation terminated. Figuring I might have done something wrong, I reopened the conversation, and checked through again, and the conversation fired off. Checking my Party, I found I had received two eggs.

No cheats have been used in this game. At all. Just plain Black and white, new from the store- not used. level 70 Throh, Superb IV as told by Judge, and level 50ish Lucario, Above average.

Twins hatched, both were different pokemon with slightly different IVs as told by Judge in the battle subway. They have different natures as well. They hatched one immediately after the other. [[User:Flamingcanine|Flamingcanine]] 01:15, 6 July 2011 (UTC)

== Platinum Rules ==

I know in the article that it says the breeding system from Emerald carried into Diamond and Pearl, but does that also mean the same breeding system applies to Platinum, or is Platinum's breeding system more like HG/SS? [[User:Sasshen|Sasshen]] 16:08, 11 August 2011 (UTC)
:As far as I know, D/P/Pt have the same breeding system, and it was changed starting from HG/SS. [[User:Ultraflame|Ultraflame]] 23:19, 11 August 2011 (UTC)

== No Good Natures ==

I have been breeding for a Duskull with a Calm nature for weeks now and not a single one has been produced with the proper nature. I have a Jolly male Duosion and a Bashful female Duskull in the daycare and I'm sure I've gotten every other nature except this one. I was wondering is there was any effect on the nature of the child without an Everstone. Like, if the natures of the parents effected the nature of the baby.

'''Pidgey''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ポッポ ''' ''Poppo'') is a dual-type {{2t|Normal|Flying}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Pidgeotto}} starting at [[level]] 18, which evolves into {{p|Pidgeot}} starting at [[level]] 36.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Pidgey resembles a small, plump-bodied {{DL|List of Pokémon by body style|Pokémon with a single pair of wings|bird}}. It is a brown color, with a lighter colored throat and belly. The tips of its wings share this cream color. Both its feet and beak are a pinkish-gray color. Its plumage is fairly nondescript, particularly compared to its evolutions Pidgeotto and Pidgeot. It has black markings around its eyes and a small crest of brown and cream feathers above its eyes. It resembles other small {{type2|Flying}} Pokémon such as {{p|Starly}}, {{p|Taillow}}, {{p|Spearow}}, and {{p|Pidove}}. However, due to the fact that (with the exception of Spearow) these Pokémon tend to be unique to a region, it is likely that they are a result of {{wp|divergent evolution}}. Pidgey's feet allow it to walk on the ground for a while but can also reach out and safely land on perches.

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

====Special abilities====
Pidgey has an extremely sharp sense of direction and homing instincts. It can locate its nest even when far removed from familiar surroundings. Because of this, it is extremely easy to train to deliver messages.

===Behavior===
It is a docile Pokémon, and generally prefers to [[Escape|flee]] from its enemies rather than fight them. Pidgey's small size permits it to easily hide in long grass, where it is typically found foraging for small insects. It is known to flush out potential prey from long grass by flapping its wings rapidly. This maneuver also serves to protect Pidgey from enemies. If disturbed, a Pidgey is capable of creating a {{m|Sand-Attack|blinding cloud of dust}}, allowing it make its escape. This evasive technique can also be applied to battles. While Pidgey generally do not like to fight, they have been known to strike with surprising fierceness when they are cornered. While Pidgey make ideal targets for young trainers, due to their temperaments, it is not unheard of for novice trainers to be seriously injured by a panicked Pidgey.

===Habitat===
[[File:Forest.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Forest Pokémon}}]]
Pidgey are very common and can be seen in a variety of environments. Pidgey typically dwell in forests with thick growth and large trees, and due to their environmental versatility and somewhat similar habitat needs, they can usually be found in the same places as {{p|Rattata}}. They are normally native to [[Kanto]] and [[Johto]], although vagrants have appeared in [[Sinnoh]] from time to time.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}
Pidgey mainly eat {{p|Weedle}}, {{p|Caterpie}}, {{p|Wurmple}}, and other small insects.

==In the anime==
[[File:Casey Pidgey.png|220px|thumb|right|Pidgey in the anime]]
===Major appearances===
Pidgey first appeared in ''[[EP001|Pokémon - I Choose You!]]''. {{Ash}} tried capturing it, but failed because {{AP|Pikachu}} would not obey him.

{{an|Casey}} has a Pidgey, seen in her first appearance, ''[[EP118|The Double Trouble Header]]''.

Many Pidgey were featured in ''[[EP164|Carrying On!]]'' as mail-Pidgey, owned by Malachi and his grandfather.

[[Wilbur]], guardian of [[Pudgy Pidgey Isle]], helped to teach a Pidgey named [[Orville]] how to fly in ''[[EP211|Fly Me to the Moon]]''. Nearly all the other Pidgey on the island were too large for flight.

{{an|Professor Oak}} captured a Pidgey just before ''[[EP245|Will the Real Oak Please Stand Up?]]''. He used it to blast off [[Team Rocket]].

===Minor appearances===
Pidgey are frequently seen in the background of many episodes flying in packs of ten or more. Sometimes they may appear in town centers or fields nearby to Ash and friends and usually fly away due to any local disturbance. Their appearances range from seemingly any anime episode, notably, ''[[DP073|Crossing Paths]]'' and ''[[DP071|Pokémon Ranger and the Kidnapped Riolu! Part One]]'', as well as movies, such as ''[[M10|The Rise of Darkrai]]'' and ''[[M11|Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]''.

A Pidgey figure is stored inside Ash's {{p|Voltorb}} clock as seen in ''[[EP001|Pokémon! I Choose You!]]'', and pops out when the alarm went off and the clock opened.

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

A Pidgey appeared in ''[[AG143|The Saffron Con]]'' as a Pokémon owned by a Coordinator that was taken by Team Rocket.

Team Rocket mistook a Pidgey for a {{p|Ho-Oh}} in ''[[AG178|Battling the Enemy Within]]''.

A Pidgey also appeared in ''[[DP038|One Big Happiny Family!]]'' in [[Jessie]]'s fantasy.

In ''[[M05|Pokémon Heroes]]'', two Pidgey can be seen having a wash in a drinking basin. Flocks of them were also populous throughout Alto Mare.

Multiple Pidgey had a cameo apperance at the beginning of ''[[M13|Zoroark: Master of Illusions]]''.

==Trivia==
* In the [[Pokémon Red and Green beta|Pokémon Red and Blue beta]], Pidgey was originally going to be named "Pidge".
* Pidgey is the first {{type2|Normal}} Pokémon in [[National Pokédex]] order.
* Pidgey shares the same [[species]] name with {{p|Spearow}} and {{p|Natu}}. They are all known as Tiny Bird Pokémon, though Natu has also been called a Little Bird Pokémon.
* Pidgey is the only Pokémon that is tenth in a regional Pokédex listing (coming immediately after the {{type2|Water}} starter's final form) that was not introduced in the same generation as the starter. This is in the [[List of Pokémon by Johto Pokédex number|Johto Pokédex]].
* Pidgey was the first Pokémon in National Pokédex order to have 2 abilities, excluding the Dream World's exclusive hidden abilities. In Generation III, this honor goes to {{p|Rattata}}.
* In the games, Pidgey is shown to have three talons. In the anime, it has four.
* Pidgey and its evolutionary line are the only {{type2|Normal}} Pokémon to learn {{m|Twister}} by leveling up. They were the only ones even capable of learning it until {{v2|Platinum}}.
* Pidgey is the only Pokémon with a base stat total of 251.

===Origin===
Anatomically Pidgey does not resemble {{wp|pigeons}} as much as it does {{wp|finches}} or {{wp|sparrows}}. However, there have been some references to Pidgey Mail, alluding to {{wp|homing pigeon}}s. Its species name, "tiny bird," added to the sound of the end of its name, could suggest that Pidgey is also based on {{wp|chickadee}}s. But it and its evolutions appear to have more traits related to {{wp|osprey}}s than pigeons or chickadees.

====Name origin====
Pidgey's name could be a corruption of ''{{wp|pigeon}}'' or a combination of that with the word ''{{wp|Budgerigar|budgie}},'' ''{{wp|chickadee}},'' or even the word ''pudgy'', referring to its plump physique. Its Japanese name appears to be the onomatopoeia of the sound a pigeon makes, ポッポッポ ''poppoppo''.

'''Olivine City''' (Japanese: '''アサギシティ''' ''Asagi City'') is located on the [[Johto]] coast, near [[Ecruteak City]] and [[Cianwood City]]. Olivine is a major port city and is the home of the [[Glitter Lighthouse]]. The Glitter Lighthouse guide ships to the harbor as well as the [[S.S. Aqua]] connecting it to the port city in its sister region, [[Vermilion City]] in [[Kanto]].

[[Pokémon Trainer]]s often come to Olivine City in order to win the {{Badge|Mineral}} from [[Jasmine]], the Olivine [[Gym Leader]] who specializes in {{type2|Steel}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}.

==Places of interest==
===Glitter Lighthouse===
{{main|Glitter Lighthouse}}
[[File:HGSS Olivine Lighthouse.png|thumb|left|Glitter Lighthouse's beacon at night]]
Olivine is home to the [[Glitter Lighthouse]], illuminated by an {{p|Ampharos}}, aptly named [[Amphy]]. It is here that [[Jasmine]], the Olivine [[Gym Leader]], is first encountered. [[Amphy]] is an {{p|Ampharos}} who serves as a beacon for the lighthouse. Recently, Amphy has become ill, and Jasmine, nurturing Amphy to health, will not leave for any reason. She asks the player to {{m|Surf|travel across the sea}} to [[Cianwood City]] to get a [[SecretPotion|special medicine]], then bring it back to her.

In Generation II, while there are no Trainers other than Jasmine in [[Olivine Gym]], the lighthouse poses a challenge which provides more than enough of a counterbalance to it, as there are many Trainers on each of its floors.

In [[Generation IV]], {{tc|Gentleman}} Preston and {{tc|Lass}} Connie are actually Trainers from the Gym, and will return there once Amphy has been cured. Also in Generation IV, once the player has spoken to her, Jasmine opens a door leading to an elevator that goes from the top floor directly back to the bottom. Due to the addition of an elevator, the Lighthouse was redesigned so that the ground floor was a tourist deck, and no Trainer can be found training until the upper floors are reached.

===Olivine Port===
{{main|S.S. Aqua}}
[[Image:SS Aqua GenIV.png‎|thumb|right|[[S.S. Aqua]] pulling out of Olivine Port]]
Olivine City has been famed for its water travel, thus a port was built to satisfy Olivine's connection with the sea. Olivine Port has a ferry to [[Vermilion City]], the [[S.S. Aqua]], only accessible after defeating the [[Elite Four]] and getting the {{DL|List of key items in Generation IV|S.S. Ticket}} from [[Professor Elm]]. The player can only ride it from Olivine City to [[Vermilion City]] on Mondays and Fridays due to the staff resting up.

After the initial trip to Kanto (which can happen on any day of the week), the S.S. Aqua sails from Kanto to Johto every Sunday and Wednesday, and sails from Johto to Kanto each Monday and Friday. Trainers can be encountered on the ship each voyage, and may be battled, but only once.

In HeartGold and SoulSilver, the captain of the ship implies that the S.S. Aqua travels to [[Sinnoh]], as he mentions finding [[plate]]s there. However, the ship does not appear in any of the games that take place in Sinnoh.

===Olivine Café===
Olivine Café is a restaurant west of the Pokémon Center. It is known to be a place for {{tc|Sailor}}s to stop after a long trip on the sea to rest and eat. Olivine Café prides itself on its generous-sized menu that is "chock-full of hearty fare for beefy Sailors". The Café consists of a bar with many stools around it and a circular table surrounded by seats. Many people there are happily eating their food; one nearly chokes because he hadn't chewed before he swallowed. A sailor who eats there gives away {{HM|04|Strength}} in [[Generation II]]; however, in [[Generation IV]], the sailor will suggest to go to [[Mt. Mortar]] to find {{tc|Hiker}}s with an extra [[HM04]] instead.

===Seals===
Once the player has obtained the {{DL|List of key items in Generation IV|Seal Case}} in [[Generation IV]], a young girl in the north-easternmost house of Olivine will give the player three random [[Seal]]s once per day when one talks to her. There is also a Trainer in Olivine Pokémon Center that shows off her [[Ball Capsule]] with Seals.

==Demographics==
===Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver===
In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, Olivine City's population is 47, large size for a port city. Since Olivine is a port city, many {{tc|Sailor}}s and {{tc|Fisherman}} stay here or even dwell in the city. The northern district is mainly an urban area, which dwells families and other people. Meanwhile the southern district is host to many seaside tourist attractions, like the [[Glitter Lighthouse]] and the Olivine Café.

==Trivia==
[[File:Olivine beta house.png|thumb|right|"When my Pokémon got sick, the pharmacist in Ecruteak made some medicine for me."]]
* A remix of this town's music, which it shares with [[Violet City]], can be heard on [[Six Island (town)|Six]] and {{OBP|Seven Island|town}}s.
* The layout of the city is very similar to [[Sunyshore City]] with exits to the north and west of the city, two houses in the northeastern corner, a gym in the northwestern corner, and a lighthouse in the southeastern corner where the city's [[Gym Leader]] can first be found. {{TM|57|Charge Beam}} is also available in both. This might also explain why [[Jasmine]] is found visiting [[Sunyshore City]].
* There is programming in the game for a house in Olivine City that was [[Pokémon Gold and Silver beta|not used in the final game]]. Inside, a woman mentions a pharmacy in [[Ecruteak City]], not [[Cianwood City]]. This suggests that either the pharmacy could have been originally planned for Ecruteak City, or that Cianwood City may have been added to the game at the last minute.
* Its Generation II motto was "The Port Closest to Foreign Lands".

'''Olivine City''' (Japanese: '''アサギシティ''' ''Asagi City'') is located on the [[Johto]] coast, near [[Ecruteak City]] and [[Cianwood City]]. Olivine is a major port city and is the home of the [[Glitter Lighthouse]]. The Glitter Lighthouse guide ships to the harbor as well as the [[S.S. Aqua]] connecting it to the port city in its sister region, [[Vermilion City]] in [[Kanto]].

[[Pokémon Trainer]]s often come to Olivine City in order to win the {{Badge|Mineral}} from [[Jasmine]], the Olivine [[Gym Leader]] who specializes in {{type2|Steel}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}.

==Places of interest==
===Glitter Lighthouse===
{{main|Glitter Lighthouse}}
[[File:HGSS Olivine Lighthouse.png|thumb|left|Glitter Lighthouse's beacon at night]]
Olivine is home to the [[Glitter Lighthouse]], illuminated by an {{p|Ampharos}}, aptly named [[Amphy]]. It is here that [[Jasmine]], the Olivine [[Gym Leader]], is first encountered. [[Amphy]] is an {{p|Ampharos}} who serves as a beacon for the lighthouse. Recently, Amphy has become ill, and Jasmine, nurturing Amphy to health, will not leave for any reason. She asks the player to {{m|Surf|travel across the sea}} to [[Cianwood City]] to get a [[SecretPotion|special medicine]], then bring it back to her.

In Generation II, while there are no Trainers other than Jasmine in [[Olivine Gym]], the lighthouse poses a challenge which provides more than enough of a counterbalance to it, as there are many Trainers on each of its floors.

In [[Generation IV]], {{tc|Gentleman}} Preston and {{tc|Lass}} Connie are actually Trainers from the Gym, and will return there once Amphy has been cured. Also in Generation IV, once the player has spoken to her, Jasmine opens a door leading to an elevator that goes from the top floor directly back to the bottom. Due to the addition of an elevator, the Lighthouse was redesigned so that the ground floor was a tourist deck, and no Trainer can be found training until the upper floors are reached.

===Olivine Port===
{{main|S.S. Aqua}}
[[Image:SS Aqua GenIV.png‎|thumb|right|[[S.S. Aqua]] pulling out of Olivine Port]]
Olivine City has been famed for its water travel, thus a port was built to satisfy Olivine's connection with the sea. Olivine Port has a ferry to [[Vermilion City]], the [[S.S. Aqua]], only accessible after defeating the [[Elite Four]] and getting the {{DL|List of key items in Generation IV|S.S. Ticket}} from [[Professor Elm]]. The player can only ride it from Olivine City to [[Vermilion City]] on Mondays and Fridays due to the staff resting up.

After the initial trip to Kanto (which can happen on any day of the week), the S.S. Aqua sails from Kanto to Johto every Sunday and Wednesday, and sails from Johto to Kanto each Monday and Friday. Trainers can be encountered on the ship each voyage, and may be battled, but only once.

In HeartGold and SoulSilver, the captain of the ship implies that the S.S. Aqua travels to [[Sinnoh]], as he mentions finding [[plate]]s there. However, the ship does not appear in any of the games that take place in Sinnoh.

===Olivine Café===
Olivine Café is a restaurant west of the Pokémon Center. It is known to be a place for {{tc|Sailor}}s to stop after a long trip on the sea to rest and eat. Olivine Café prides itself on its generous-sized menu that is "chock-full of hearty fare for beefy Sailors". The Café consists of a bar with many stools around it and a circular table surrounded by seats. Many people there are happily eating their food; one nearly chokes because he hadn't chewed before he swallowed. A sailor who eats there gives away {{HM|04|Strength}} in [[Generation II]]; however, in [[Generation IV]], the sailor will suggest to go to [[Mt. Mortar]] to find {{tc|Hiker}}s with an extra [[HM04]] instead.

===Seals===
Once the player has obtained the {{DL|List of key items in Generation IV|Seal Case}} in [[Generation IV]], a young girl in the north-easternmost house of Olivine will give the player three random [[Seal]]s once per day when one talks to her. There is also a Trainer in Olivine Pokémon Center that shows off her [[Ball Capsule]] with Seals.

==Demographics==
===Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver===
In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, Olivine City's population is 47, it is large size for a port city. Since Olivine is a port city, many {{tc|Sailor}}s and {{tc|Fisherman}} stay here or even dwell in the city. The northern district is mainly an urban area, which dwells families and other people. Meanwhile the southern district is host to many seaside tourist attractions, like the [[Glitter Lighthouse]] and the Olivine Café.

'''Olivine City''' (Japanese: '''アサギシティ''' ''Asagi City'') is located on the [[Johto]] coast, near [[Ecruteak City]] and [[Cianwood City]]. Olivine is a major port city and is the home of the [[Glitter Lighthouse]]. The Glitter Lighthouse guide ships to the harbor as well as the [[S.S. Aqua]] connecting it to the port city in its sister region, [[Vermilion City]] in [[Kanto]].

[[Pokémon Trainer]]s often come to Olivine City in order to win the {{Badge|Mineral}} from [[Jasmine]], the Olivine [[Gym Leader]] who specializes in {{type2|Steel}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}.

There is also a Trainer in Olivine Pokémon Center that shows off her [[Ball Capsule]] with Seals.

Since Olivine is a port city, many {{tc|Sailor}}s and {{tc|Fisherman}} stay here or even dwell in the city. The northern district is mainly an urban area, which dwells families and other people. Meanwhile the southern district is host to many seaside tourist attractions, like the [[Glitter Lighthouse]] and the Olivine Café.

==Trivia==
[[File:Olivine beta house.png|thumb|right|"When my Pokémon got sick, the pharmacist in Ecruteak made some medicine for me."]]
* A remix of this town's music, which it shares with [[Violet City]], can be heard on [[Six Island (town)|Six]] and {{OBP|Seven Island|town}}s.
* The layout of the city is very similar to [[Sunyshore City]] with exits to the north and west of the city, two houses in the northeastern corner, a gym in the northwestern corner, and a lighthouse in the southeastern corner where the city's [[Gym Leader]] can first be found. {{TM|57|Charge Beam}} is also available in both. This might also explain why [[Jasmine]] is found visiting [[Sunyshore City]].
* There is programming in the game for a house in Olivine City that was [[Pokémon Gold and Silver beta|not used in the final game]]. Inside, a woman mentions a pharmacy in [[Ecruteak City]], not [[Cianwood City]]. This suggests that either the pharmacy could have been originally planned for Ecruteak City, or that Cianwood City may have been added to the game at the last minute.
* Its Generation II motto was "The Port Closest to Foreign Lands".

'''Lucario''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ルカリオ''' ''Lucario'') is a dual-type {{2t|Fighting|Steel}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Riolu}} when [[level]]ed up with high [[happiness]] during the [[Time|day]].

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Lucario is a bipedal, jackal-like Pokémon that is about four feet tall. Lucario's forepaws are black and have one white spike on each arm on the upper-side of its wrists. In addition, there's a third spike on Lucario's chest. The likely meaning of these is to imply that Lucario has a heart and fists of steel. Lucario's snout and ears have also grown longer since its evolution from {{p|Riolu}}. Lucario also has a furry yellow torso, and its thighs are in the shape of what looks like blue shorts. Also, Lucario stands its toes rather than on its entire foot. When Lucario reads Aura, it closes its eyes, and the black appendages on its head lift up.

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

====Special abilities====
Lucario are sensitive to a special type of energy called [[Aura]]. Lucario can study these waves to predict the movements of their opponents, and use them to track anyone. They can also guide the waves offensively to create explosive balls of Aura energy (such as {{m|Aura Sphere}}, one of only four non-legendaries to learn that move). Lucario are also able to understand human speech; some people say that Lucario can also speak it, though only {{an|Lucario|one}} has reportedly done so, and through telepathy.

===Behavior===
Lucario are considered to be prideful creatures, and are extremely loyal to their trainers. Lucario also seem to have a natural sense of justice.

===Habitat===
Lucario usually live deep in mountains very far from people to improve their skills. Therefore, like {{p|Milotic}} and {{p|Togekiss}}, they are some of the rarest non-legendary Pokémon known, and finding a wild Lucario is excruciatingly difficult.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}
The Lucario in ''[[M08|Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]'' was shown eating Berries and plants, like roses. Lucario has been seen eating chocolate, introduced by [[Max]] with it gaining no ill-effects from the {{wp|theobromine}}, though not part of its natural diet.

==In the anime==
{{spoiler}}
[[File:Riley Lucario.png|thumb|right|{{TP|Riley|Lucario}} in the anime]]
===Major appearances===
====[[Sir Aaron]]'s {{mov|Lucario|Lucario|8}}====
Over 1,000 years ago, {{mov|Lucario|Lucario|8}} served [[Sir Aaron]]. Lucario was sensitive to aura, invisible vibrations that all objects, especially living things, emit. This enabled him to "see" objects and living creatures and predict the actions of others even with his eyes closed.

When [[Cameran Palace]] was about to be caught in the middle of a war, Aaron was on his way to the [[Tree of Beginning]] to attempt to stop the battle when he came across Lucario, who had been temporarily blinded by a group of sand-kicking {{p|Houndoom}}, where Aaron told him that he was never going back to the castle. Aaron intended to sacrifice himself to stop the war, telling Lucario that he was abandoning the kingdom to stop the Pokémon from following him to the same fate. Aaron threw his staff into the ground, causing it to encase Lucario inside much like a Poké Ball. Lucario believed Aaron had betrayed him and the kingdom and was left thinking this as he fell into a deep sleep for the passing years.

Years later, in the present time, Lucario was awoken from the staff when it was held by [[Ash Ketchum]], who has a similar aura pattern to Aaron. Lucario initially mistook Ash for Aaron, and was stubborn and distrustful of humans after being sealed in the staff. Unaware of Aaron's sacrifice, Lucario held a grudge toward Aaron, thinking Aaron had abandoned the castle and him.

Once news came out that Mew was sick, the whole of the palace knew that the source of all life in this one palace, the Tree of Beginning, would be affected.

Thus, Ash, co. and Lucario head off to the Tree. As Ash and his friends head to the core, Lucario fends off the [[Legendary golems|Regis]] and does so succesfully.

Approaching the core, Lucario and Ash combine forces to heal Mew. After releasing a great amount Aura, Ash gets pushed away by Lucario, taking over the job.

Mew is tended to, and while Lucario sits down, exhausted by the life-draining performance, he sits down to rest. Ash then accidentally activates a Time Flower left by Aaron, explaining the true story. After realizing what really happened, Lucario regrets his actions and his feud against his late master, disappearing, joining Aaron...

====[[Maylene]]'s {{TP|Maylene|Lucario}}====
It was first seen in ''[[DP066|Lost Leader Strategy!]]'' {{pkmn|battle|battling}} with Maylene in their {{pkmn|training}}. Lucario used {{m|Aura Sphere}} to stop the battle of {{TP|Paul|Electabuzz|Electivire}}, {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}} and {{AP|Pikachu}}. It is also seen battling [[Paul]]'s Pokémon in a flashback.

Lucario was seen again in ''[[DP067|Crossing the Battle Line!]]'' where it battled in {{an|Dawn}}'s Gym battle against Maylene. It defeated Dawn's {{TP|Dawn|Ambipom}} and {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}}.

It appeared once more in ''[[DP068|A Triple Fighting Chance!]]'' where it battled in {{Ash}}'s Gym battle against Maylene. It defeated {{AP|Ash's Staravia|Staraptor}} and {{AP|Chimchar|Monferno}}, but was knocked out along with [[Ash's Buizel]], resulting in a tie.

Lucario was last seen in ''[[DP069|Enter Galactic!]]'' when it helped Ash and the others defeat [[Saturn]] and [[Team Galactic]].

====[[Riley]]'s {{TP|Riley|Lucario}}====
This Lucario debuted in ''[[DP110|Steeling Peace of Mind!]]'' at [[Iron Island]]. When {{Ash}} and {{ashfr|his friends}} traveled there after being contacted by {{an|Barry}}, they found the local {{type2|Steel}} Pokémon fighting brutally against each other and the other Pokémon on the island. When a crazed {{p|Aggron}} attacked Ash, [[Riley]] stepped in and had Lucario attack it with {{m|Close Combat}}. Despite being a Steel-type as well, Lucario wasn't affected like the others of its type due to its strong [[aura]].

===Minor appearances===
Lucario makes a cameo in the theme songs ''{{so|Battle Frontier}}'', ''[[Together]]'', and ''[[The Greatest - Everyday!]]''.

Lucario also makes a brief appearance at the intro of ''[[M10|The Rise of Darkrai]]'', where one is shown dodging {{p|Rayquaza}}'s {{m|Hyper Beam}}.

A Lucario and {{p|Froslass}} were seen in a Double contest on TV in ''[[DP150|Unlocking the Red Chain of Events!]]''.

==In the manga==
===In the Phantom Thief Pokémon 7 manga===
{{main|Hiori's Lucario}}
Lucario is [[Hiori]]'s primary Pokémon in [[Phantom Thief Pokémon 7]].

===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
In the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga, like in games, one appears under the ownership of [[Riley]].

===In the Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Adventure! manga===

==In the TCG==

==Other appearances==
===[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]===
[[File:Lucario Brawl.png|140px|thumb|right|Lucario in Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]
{{sbw|Lucario (SSBB)|Lucario}} is a playable character available in ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl''. It is unlocked by encountering it in [[The Subspace Emissary]] either from choosing it to battle and claim victory over {{sbw|Meta Knight}} or vice-versa. It can also be unlocked by playing 100 brawls or beating Target Smash!! on all difficulty levels (in either 1 or 2-player modes).

{{sbw|Lucario}} appears to be able to talk with the help of Aura; most notably seen while using its Final Smash when it says "Watch the power of Aura!" Lucario's fighting style revolves around Aura manipulation and the concept of "high risk, high return"; the more damage Lucario has taken, the stronger it and its attacks become. Its power is at its peak when it has taken 200% damage, and is in last place during a fight.

====[[wp:Metal Gear|Codec]] information (on Shadow Moses Island)====
* '''[[wp:List of recurring Metal Gear characters#Mei Ling|Mei Ling]]:''' ''"You're fighting Lucario, aren't you, Snake?"''
* '''{{wp|Solid Snake}}:''' ''"Mei Ling, what's that purple fire coming out of his hands??"''
* '''Mei Ling:''' ''"That's his '[[Aura]].'"''
* '''Solid Snake:''' ''"Aura?"''
* '''Mei Ling:''' ''"I guess you could call it his life force. Lucario can use his own Aura and turn it into power. Every time Lucario's damage increases, his Aura gains strength, making his [[Move|attacks]] more powerful. So don't think you've got him beat just because his health is down."''
* '''Solid Snake:''' ''"The cornered rat will bite the cat... Sounds like trouble."''
* '''Mei Ling:''' ''"Hey! When did you become so good with [[wp:chinese proverbs|proverbs?!]]"''
* '''Solid Snake:''' ''"You must have rubbed off on me."''
* '''Mei Ling:''' ''"Well, come back in one piece, and I'll teach you all the Chinese proverbs you can handle."''

===Trophy information===
====Classic Mode: Lucario====
''An [[Aura]] Pokémon. It can track energy called [[Aura]], which is given off by all living creatures. It's a unique combination of both {{t|Fighting}}- and {{type2|Steel}}s. Lucario evolves from {{p|Riolu}} during the [[Time|day]] if its {{DL|Happiness|evolutions|happiness}} has reached a certain point. It specializes in attacks that use [[Aura]] energy, like {{m|Dark Pulse}} and a can't-miss technique, {{m|Aura Sphere}}.''

====All-Star Mode: Aura Storm====
''Lucario's [[Final Smash]]. After flying off the screen, Lucario reappears in its center. It then launches a powerful [[Aura]] attack against all foes within a certain distance. The key to this attack is the ability to change its angle--it's a must to sweep slowly left and right to his selected enemies multiple times. The last blow will send the victim flying away.''

==Game data==
===NPC appearances===

==Trivia==
[[Image:Dusty.png|thumb|Dusty's Lucario costume]]
* Lucario's English name was revealed on February 9, 2006 with the announcement of the title of ''[[M08|Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]''.
* Before {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}} were released, many fans assumed Lucario would be a [[legendary Pokémon]], based on its starring role in ''[[M08|Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]''. This has since been proven untrue, as it is readily available in the [[Generation IV]] games, is under ownership by NPCs, and even [[Evolution|evolves]] from a Pokémon, {{p|Riolu}}.
* In [[Pokémon Ranger: Shadows of Almia]], Lucario is the only one out of three Gem Guardians that is not a legendary Pokémon.
* In [[Pokémon Battle Revolution]], a Lucario costume is seen, worn by [[Dusty]].
* Two of Lucario's [[Ability|abilities]] relate to {{status|Flinch|flinching}}. {{a|Steadfast}} makes Lucario faster when flinching, whilst {{a|Inner Focus}} protects it from it.
** Due to this combination, Steadfast can only activate in [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time, Explorers of Darkness]] and [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky|Explorers of Sky]] if Lucario becomes {{DL|Seeds|X-Eye Seed|cross-eyed}}.
* Lucario can learn {{m|Ice Punch}}, {{m|ThunderPunch}}, and even {{m|Blaze Kick}}, but cannot learn {{m|Fire Punch}}.
* Lucario and {{p|Poliwrath}} are the only {{type2|Fighting}} Pokémon able to learn {{m|Psychic}}, not counting {{p|Meditite}}, {{p|Medicham}}, {{p|Gallade}} and {{p|Meloetta}} as they are part {{type2|Psychic}}.
* Lucario is the only Pokémon that learns {{m|Dragon Pulse}} through leveling up who is not a {{type2|Dragon}} or related to one through evolution.

===Origin===
Lucario appears to be based on the Egyptian god of funerals, {{wp|Anubis}}, who has the head of a {{wp|jackal}}. Anubis's role in Egyptian mythology was to judge the hearts of deceased souls based on their actions during life. This resembles Lucario's ability to see a life form's aura. It also seems to be based on an Egyptian boxer. {{wp|Boxing}} is a sport that is believed to have origins in Egypt. The markings on Lucario's face resemble a mask.

====Name origin====
Its name probably comes from Lupaster, a subspecies of the {{wp|Canis Aureus}}, the Egyptian Jackal. Lucario's name possibly derives also from part of a Japanese spelling of {{wp|oracle}} or {{wp|orichalcum}} in reverse, reflecting its mythical design, its ability to see into the supernatural, and its Steel-type. It may also refer to {{wp|Cairo, Egypt}}. The word {{wp|pharaoh}} may also be involved. Also, it may be derived from the Greek word ''lykos'' meaning "wolf".

Baby Pokémon

2011-12-16T02:38:58Z

Eddiefiv: /* Trivia */

[[File:Baby Pokémon Theme Song.png|right|220px|thumb|A few baby Pokémon in ''[[Born to Be a Winner]]'']]
'''Baby Pokémon''' are the lowest stage of [[evolution|Pokémon evolution]]. The concept was introduced in [[Generation II]], along with {{pkmn|breeding}}, which is typically the only way to obtain them.

The majority of baby Pokémon were introduced after their first-stage evolutions, with the exceptions of {{p|Togepi}} and {{p|Riolu}}. To achieve evolution, many require maximized [[happiness]]. Others will evolve by level up, but as the generations passed more complex [[methods of evolution]] were introduced.

In the video game series, the only way to obtain most baby Pokémon is through breeding. On occasion, [[non-player character]]s will give the {{player}} an egg containing a baby Pokémon, and this Pokémon typically cannot be obtained in any other method, except for breeding. [[Generation III]] introduced the first baby Pokémon able to be caught in the wild: {{p|Wynaut}} on [[Mirage Island]]. In [[Generation IV]], many other baby Pokémon were also available, relatively easily, in the wild. Players may still find it preferable to breed though, for the benefit of [[egg move]]s (as many baby Pokémon have very limited movepools).

Baby Pokémon all have one thing in common: they are unable to breed unless they evolve into one of their higher forms, and are all in the {{egg|Undiscovered}} egg group. This is presumably due to their infantile state.

From [[Generation III]] onwards, most new baby Pokémon can only be obtained by making the parent in their evolutionary line hold a specific [[Incense]] before breeding, explaining why they were unavailable in previous generations.

About half of all baby Pokémon are part of a {{cat|Pokémon that are part of a three-stage evolutionary line|three-stage evolutionary line}}, that is, they evolve again after evolving from their baby form. {{p|Azumarill|Only one of these}}, however, is achieved by level up, with most of the others requiring use of an [[evolutionary stone]] or [[held item]] to evolve a second time.

Baby Pokémon were eventually introduced in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] as well.

==Trivia==
* All baby Pokémon, excluding those which evolve by level-up alone, are able to evolve at a minimum of level 2, as the requirements for their evolution can be met without them having to level up more than once.
**Of those that are able to do this and evolve a second time, only two (Chansey and Marill) must level up further to reach their final form.
* Out of eighteen baby Pokémon, there are currently seven baby Pokémon which will evolve into Pokémon belonging to the {{egg3|Fairy}} and six others that will evolve into Pokémon that belong to the {{egg3|Human-Like}}.
* Of all post-Generation II baby Pokémon, only Azurill and Munchlax evolve by happiness alone (not requiring a certain time of day). In the anime, these two baby Pokémon are owned by two of [[Ash Ketchum|Ash Ketchum's]] previous traveling companions, {{an|Misty}} and {{an|May}}.
*All baby Pokémon that were introduced in Generation II that evolve by happiness can evolve further using evolutionary stones.
*{{p|Riolu}} is the only baby Pokémon introduced after Generation II that hatches without requiring one of its parents to be holding an incense because its {{p|Lucario|evolution}} debuted in the same generation as it did.
*Generation I and Generation V are the only generations in which no baby Pokémon were introduced, due to the two having no breeding, or being isolated from older Pokémon, respectively.

Team Base

2011-11-08T02:30:51Z

Eddiefiv: /* Post-renovation */

{{incomplete}}
{{bad image|reason=low quality jpgs}}
[[File:Rescue Team Base.png‎|thumb|275px|right|Pikachu and Squirtle in front of the Team Base]]
The '''Team Base''' is a place in [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team]] that can be used to [[save]]. The leader of the rescue team sleeps here. The rescue team's mail is delivered to the Mailbox in front of the Team Base.

To the east of the Team Base is [[Pokémon Square]], [[Friend Area]]s are to the west, while [[dungeon]]s are to the south.

==History==
After successfully rescuing {{p|Caterpie}} from [[Tiny Woods]], the partner brings the player to a cottage. They decide to make the cottage their Team Base.

After completing {{p|Wynaut}} and {{p|Wobbuffet}}'s mission, which involves defeating the {{p|Mankey}} gang in the [[Uproar Forest]], they offer a peeled {{DL|Food (Mystery Dungeon)|Chestnut}}, which is in turn used to convince the Mankey gang to help renovate the Team Base. The Team Base is upgraded to look like the player.

==Flag==
Outside the Team Base there is a flag whose design represents the player. After receiving access to the Friend Area {{fa|Sky Blue Plains}}, a mission to rescue {{p|Smeargle}} may appear on the noticeboard. Accepting the mission will unlock [[Howling Forest]]. After completing the mission, Smeargle will offer to join the rescue team. When visited in its Friend Area, Sky Blue Plains, Smeargle will offer to change the flags design once per day.

==Statues==
[[File:Team Base Statue.jpg|thumb|Statues|250px]]
After doing certain things, the Rescue Team may obtain Statues. These Statues will be placed outside the Team Base. There are four in total:
*{{p|Bonsly}} Statue: complete all 21 mazes at the [[Makuhita Dojo]]
*{{p|Mime Jr.}} Statue: complete a mission which has the Mime Jr. Statue as the reward
*{{p|Lucario}} Statue: reach {{DL|Rank|Red and Blue Rescue Ranks|Lucario Rank}}
*{{p|Weavile}} Statue: complete a mission which has the Weavile Statue as the reward

==Appearance==
The design of the team base is different depending on the Pokémon that the player is.

Fainting

2011-08-09T18:35:07Z

Eddiefiv: /* Pokémon Mystery Dungeon */

{{incomplete|needs=TCG, manga, sidegame info (if any) and a DPPtHGSS screenshot}}
[[File:Vanillite Tepig fainted.png|thumb|right|240px|Vanillite and Tepig, both unable to battle]]
'''Fainting''' (Japanese: '''ひんし''' ''Dying'') is a status ailment featured in which a Pokémon is no longer able to {{pkmn|battle}}. In the {{pkmn|anime}}, fainting is referred to simply as being unable to battle. These Pokémon are not always unconscious, but merely do not have the energy, ability, or other reasons to continue battling. Fainted Pokémon are often depicted with stunned expressions or as having spirals in their eyes. In the {{pkmn|game}}s, fainting occurs when a Pokémon reaches zero {{Stat|HP}}. A Pokémon can lose HP through such methods as {{status|Poison}}ing or self-injury inflicted during {{status|Confusion}}. A Pokémon which has fainted is unable to battle until it has been revived, but it is still able to use field moves, such as {{m|Fly}} or {{m|Cut}}. When the {{player}}'s [[party]] is viewed, any fainted Pokémon will have a red FNT status bar or a [[status ailment]] of FNT.

Pokémon can faint instantly if their opponent successfully uses a [[one-hit knockout move]], such as {{m|Guillotine}}. A Pokémon faints under certain circumstances that occur after the use of {{m|Destiny Bond}} or {{m|Perish Song}}, unless switched out. Moves such as {{m|Selfdestruct}} or {{m|Explosion}} makes the user faint, though it deals massive damage to the opponent, acting as a sort of {{wp|kamikaze}}. A Pokémon can also faint from having its HP sapped through moves such as {{m|Leech Seed}} and {{m|Leech Life}}, and can also faint if damaged by certain [[Weather conditions|weather effects]] or [[status ailment]]s from a previous turn during the semi-invulnerable stage of moves like {{m|Fly}}.

If all Pokémon in a Trainer's party have fainted they will be unable to battle and [[black out]]. The player will lose a sum of [[Pokémon Dollar|money]]. In {{pkmn|Trainer}} battles, the money will be paid to the winner, but in battles with [[wild Pokémon]], the money will be dropped in panic.

==In the games==
===Fainting through status ailments===
Fainting can also be caused through [[status ailment]]s. When a Pokémon has been poisoned, every four steps will reduce the Pokémon's HP by one point until it faints (In [[Generation IV]], the poison will be cured when the Pokémon has 1 HP, and in [[Generation V]] poison does not harm Pokémon outside of battle). {{t|Steel}} and {{type2|Poison}} Pokémon cannot be poisoned. It is removed either by an {{DL|Status ailment healing item|Antidote}}, a [[Pecha Berry]] or by similar [[status ailment healing item]]s. {{status|Burn}}ed Pokémon can faint during battle by taking enough damage, but not outside of battle. A {{status|Confusion|confused}} Pokémon is at risk for turning its attack on itself, thus reducing its own HP and possibly making itself faint. Confusion can be removed by a {{DL|Flute|Yellow Flute}}, [[Persim Berry]] or by simply switching the Pokémon out of battle.

All of these conditions are also removable upon the use of a Pokémon Center, (or depositing the Pokémon in the PC) though it is wise to keep the aforementioned items in supply for usage when needed.

===Effects of fainting===
Fainting will cause a Pokémon to lose [[happiness]], and may grow to resent its trainer if it faints often and spends a lot of time unconscious.

If all of the [[player character]]'s Pokémon faint, then the trainer will be disqualified or faint ("''<player name>'' Blacked/Whited Out!"). The player will then be warped back to the last [[Pokémon Center]] visited and the player will lose half of their [[Pokémon Dollar|money]]. Starting with {{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}}, a small cut scene also plays explaining what happens.

In {{game|Yellow}}, [[Red's Pikachu (game)|Pikachu]] returns to its [[Poké Ball]] when it has fainted, which is the only time that Pikachu goes in its Poké Ball.

In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, the lead Pokémon will return to its Poké Ball and the next Pokémon in order will then in turn be released out.

Fainting does not impede the use of [[HM]]s out of battle by a Pokémon.

====Effects of items on fainted Pokémon====
Normal [[item]]s, such as [[potion]]s or status ailment healing items, will not work on a fainted Pokémon. Instead, they either have to be healed at a Pokémon Center or brought back with a reviving item.

|-

|{{DL|Revive|Revive}} will revive a Pokémon with half of its HP.

|-
| align=center | [[File:Bag Rare Candy Sprite.png]]
| {{DL|Vitamin|Rare Candy}} will also revive fainted Pokémon due to the HP gained upon leveling up.
|-
|}

===Avoiding fainting===
There are many ways that fainting can be avoided, with the most common being removing the Pokémon from battle. If the Pokémon uses {{m|Endure}}, it will leave the said Pokémon with 1HP. Items, like the {{DL|In-battle effect item|Focus Sash}}, also ensure that a Pokémon doesn't faint. However, the Focus Sash works only once. In addition, in [[Generation V]], if a Pokémon with {{a|Sturdy}} is hit by an attack which would cause it to faint while it has full HP, it will survive with 1HP.

'''The following items can allow a Pokémon not to faint:'''
{|
|-
| align=center | [[File:Bag Focus Band Sprite.png]]
| {{DL|In-battle effect item|Focus Band}}
|-
| align=center | [[File:Bag Focus Sash Sprite.png]]
| {{DL|In-battle effect item|Focus Sash}}
|-
|}

==In side games==
===[[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon]]===
In the Mystery Dungeon series, fainting occurs under the same conditions as the main series. When a Pokémon faints, a {{DL|Seeds|Reviver Seed}} will be taken from the player's inventory and automatically be used. After being used, the Reviver Seed becomes a {{DL|Seeds|Plain Seed}}. If a Pokémon faints and the player doesn't have a Reviver Seed, the Pokémon will be sent out of the dungeon and return to their [[Friend Areas|Friend Area]] or the [[Chimecho Assembly]]. If the player him or herself, his or her partner in story-related missions, or another important character, such as an escort or {{Mdc|Bidoof|2}} when he accompanies the player to the [[Foggy Forest]], the mission is considered a failure, and the entire team will be sent back will all their money and a majority of their inventory gone.

==In the anime==
[[File:Ash Torterra unable battle.png|thumb|250px|Torterra unable to battle]]
In the anime, fainting is referred to as being '''unable to battle''' (Japanese: '''戦闘不能''' ''sentō funō''). A Pokémon is shown to be unable to battle when its eyes are "swirly" - presumably to emulate dizziness. During a [[Pokémon League]] match, once a Pokémon is deemed unable to battle by an official League judge, it must be [[recall]]ed and cannot be used again; however, this only true in the [[Pokémon anime]] and some of the {{pkmn|manga}}, not the {{pkmn|games}}.

Since not all Pokémon have eyes, they often have different ways of displaying that they have fainted, such as {{p|Staryu}} and {{p|Starmie}}'s core flashing.

First partner Pokémon

2011-03-12T01:27:48Z

Eddiefiv: /* Trivia */

[[File:MainSeriesStarters.png|thumb|250px|Artwork featuring the starter Pokémon up to Generation IV]]
At the beginning of their quest, {{pkmn|Trainer}}s are given a '''starter Pokémon''' (Japanese: '''はじめてのポケモン''' ''Beginning Pokémon'' or '''さいしょのポケモン''' ''first Pokémon''; known as '''{{tt|'御三家|ごさんけ}}''' ''the big three'' among Japanese fans). This Pokémon will be used to {{pkmn|battle}} the first [[wild Pokémon]] that the Trainer encounters.

Once another Pokémon is caught, the starter Pokémon may be retired, but it is often with this Pokémon that Trainers learn friendship and trust. As such, even advanced Trainers may still use their starter Pokémon, and they will often be the most powerful Pokémon on their respective teams.

==In the games==
In the main {{pkmn|games}}, each starter Pokémon is at [[level]] 5, armed with one damage-dealing [[move]] and another that affects [[stat]]s. Trainers can choose a {{t|Fire}}-, {{t|Water}}-, or {{type2|Grass}} Pokémon ([[Pokémon Yellow Version|with one exception]]). The Trainer that will be designated as the player's [[rival]] will always choose or have the Pokémon of the starter trio that has a type advantage over the one the player chooses, though it may not be the case that they remain the true rival.

The following is a list of starter Pokémon by region:

===Normal starter Pokémon===
====Main series====
=====[[Kanto]]=====
In {{game5|Red|Green|Blue|FireRed|LeafGreen}}, [[Professor Oak]] will bring Trainers to his lab to give them one of the following to begin their journey:

| colspan="2" style="background:#{{fire color}}" | [[Fire (type)|{{color|FFF|Fire}}]]
| colspan="2" style="background:#{{water color}}" | [[Water (type)|{{color|FFF|Water}}]]
|- align="center" style="background: #{{kanto color light}}"
| {{MSP|003|Venusaur}}
| {{pcolor|Venusaur|{{kanto color dark}}}}
| {{MSP|006|Charizard}}
| {{pcolor|Charizard|{{kanto color dark}}}}
| {{MSP|009|Blastoise}}

| style="background:#{{flying color}}" | [[Flying (type)|{{color|FFF|Flying}}]]
| colspan="2" style="background:#{{water color}}; -moz-border-radius-bottomright: 5px;" | [[Water (type)|{{color|FFF|Water}}]]
|}

The player's {{ga|Blue|rival}} will then pick the type-advantageous starter Pokémon, and the remaining Pokémon will sit in its [[Poké Ball]] on Oak's desk for the rest of the game.

Professor Oak offers one of this trio of Pokémon to the player in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} after the player has defeated {{ga|Red}}, making reference to the fact that he gives them out as starter Pokémon in Kanto-based games, suggesting the player will be able to make it to [[Viridian City|the next town]] with one of these Pokémon by his or her side.

In {{game|Yellow}}, Oak instead gives out:

{| align="center" style="background: #{{kanto color dark}}; font-size:85%; -moz-border-radius: 10px; border: 5px solid #{{kanto color}}"
|-
! style="width:80px; background: #{{kanto color light}}; -moz-border-radius-topleft: 5px; -moz-border-radius-topright: 5px;" | [[File:025.png]] '''{{color2|{{kanto color dark}}|Red's Pikachu (game)|Pikachu}}'''
|-
| align="center" colspan="2" style="background:#{{electric color}}; -moz-border-radius-bottomleft: 5px; -moz-border-radius-bottomright: 5px;" | [[Electric (type)|{{color|FFF|Electric}}]]
|}

This {{ga|Red's Pikachu|Pikachu}} is the same one that attacked the player when they ventured onto {{rt|1|Kanto}} that Oak caught, which will be the only choice the player gets. Another notable change here involves the player's rival receiving an {{p|Eevee}} from Oak, which will evolve into one of its three [[Generation I]] evolutions, depending on the outcome of the battles between the player and the rival.

It should be noted that during the adventure, the player will be able to get the original three Kanto starter Pokémon through special events not present in the earlier games. It remains to be the only main series game to allow the player to obtain all three starter Pokémon from a previous game legitimately, without trading. The Pikachu received from Oak will also refuse to evolve into {{p|Raichu}} by use of a {{evostone|Thunderstone}} unless it is traded away to do so.

=====[[Johto]]=====
In {{game5|Gold|Silver|Crystal|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, [[Professor Elm]] will have an errand for the player to run, and will give them one of the following for protection on this errand, which they will then keep after completion:

|}

After the player meets with [[Mr. Pokémon]] and receives a [[Pokédex]] from [[Professor Oak]], Professor Elm will call the player to tell them that {{ga|Silver|a thief}} has taken a Pokémon. As the player returns to [[New Bark Town]], he or she will encounter the thief, who will have the stolen Pokémon with the type advantage over the player's own. From this point onward, the thief will be the player's rival, while Professor Elm keeps the Pokémon that was left behind by the thief on his desk for the remainder of the game (in {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, the last Pokémon mysteriously disappears at some point).

In Generation II, the Pokémon will be holding a {{DL|Berries (Generation II)|Berry}} when received from Elm, though the rival's stolen starter Pokémon will not.

In {{game|Emerald}}, after the player has caught all Pokémon in the [[List of Pokémon by Hoenn Pokédex number|Hoenn Pokédex]] with the exception of {{p|Jirachi}} and {{p|Deoxys}}, [[Professor Birch]] will offer one of these Pokémon as a reward.

=====[[Hoenn]]=====
In {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}, after [[Professor Birch]] is rescued from a {{p|Poochyena}}{{sup|RS}} or {{p|Zigzagoon}}{{sup|E}}, he allows the player to keep the Pokémon they chose to rescue him with, either:

|}

The player's neighbor, {{ga|Brendan}} or {{ga|May}}, already has his or her starter Pokémon, which is always the one with the type advantage. [[Wally]] starts with {{p|Ralts}}; he seeks [[Norman]]'s and the player's assistance in catching his first Pokémon. By the end of the game, it seems that the player's nominal rival, the son/daughter of Professor Birch, has stopped being a Trainer, and Wally is actually the true rival, facing the player before he or she can leave {{ho|Victory Road}} and staying there to rebattle the player later.

In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, [[Steven Stone]] offers one of these Pokémon to the player after he or she has defeated {{ga|Red}}.

In {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}, when two {{p|Starly}} attack the player and rival at [[Lake Verity]], to which they travel upon hearing reports of a [[Shiny Pokémon|red]] {{p|Gyarados}}, they will choose one of the following from [[Professor Rowan]]'s briefcase, which he left at the lake:

The player's friend and rival {{ga|Barry}} will choose the starter Pokémon that has a type advantage against the player's choice, and the [[non-player character|NPC]] who is the other-gender choice ({{ga|Lucas}}/{{ga|Dawn}}) will have the Pokémon weak to the player's choice. After fighting off the two Starly at the lake and returning the briefcase to Rowan, the professor will allow the player and {{ga|Barry}} to keep the Pokémon they used. Compared to previous games, NPC Trainers use their own starter Pokémon more than before, with notable figures such as the [[Gym Leader]] [[Gardenia]] and [[Elite Four]] member {{EF|Flint}} using them, as do several other Trainers.

In {{game|Platinum}}, the player and the rival are stopped by Professor Rowan just as they are about to run through tall grass to get to Sandgem Town to ask the Professor for Pokémon. After some questions about the player and the rival's love for Pokémon, he decides to entrust them with one starter Pokémon each.

=====[[Unova]]=====
In {{game|Black and White|s}}, [[Professor Juniper]] leaves a gift with the player's [[mom|mother]] in [[Nuvema Town]] to give to him or her, containing the following three Pokémon:

|}

The player's friend [[Cheren]] will choose the Pokémon that is strong against the player's choice, while the player's other friend [[Bianca]] will choose the one weak to the player's choice. The choice of starter Pokémon affects which of the [[Gym Leader]]s of [[Striaton City]] will be battled; players who chose Snivy will face [[Chili]], a {{type2|Fire}} specialist, players who chose Tepig will face [[Cress]], a {{type2|Water}} specialist, and players who chose Oshawott will face [[Cilan]], a {{type2|Grass}} specialist. Also, the choice affects the Pokémon given to the player in the [[Dreamyard]]. Choosing Snivy gives the player a {{p|Panpour}}, Tepig a {{p|Pansage}} and Oshawott a {{p|Pansear}}.

====Side series====
=====[[Orre]]=====
In {{g|Colosseum}}:

|-

|}

A first for the Pokémon games, these starter Pokémon come as a pair as to represent the double-battle system, and are also different in that they are in the player's possession right at start of play. Umbreon is at level 26, knowing the [[TM]] moves {{m|Taunt}} and {{m|Snatch}}, as well as {{m|Bite}} which is otherwise only available through {{pkmn|breeding}} at such a level. Espeon is at level 25, knowing the TM moves {{m|Return}} (and appears to start with maximum [[Happiness]]) and {{m|Reflect}}. Both are always male.

In [[Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness]]:

|}

This starter Pokémon is also in the player's possession right at the beginning. It is at level 10, knowing Bite which is again unique for this level. At an early point in the game, the player is offered one of five evolutionary items, {{evostone|Water Stone}}, {{evostone|Thunderstone}}, {{evostone|Fire Stone}}, {{evostone|Moon Shard}} and {{evostone|Sun Shard}}, to make the Eevee evolve into any of its [[Generation III|(then)]] [[Eeveelution|evolutions]].

In Pokémon XD, if the player completes the [[Mt. Battle]] challenge and beats all 100 Trainers without quitting or switching Pokémon, [[Battlus]] will give one of the Johto starter Pokémon as a reward.

===Special starter Pokémon===
===={{OBP|Pokémon World|Mystery Dungeon}}====

In the [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon]] series, the player starts with a two-Pokémon team, with one Pokémon representing them as the [[player character]], and the other being their partner. The species available are based mostly on the main series's starters, and vary slightly with each game. Some of them are exclusive to the player (including their given gender), while others are exclusive to the partner.

Upon their tenth birthday, youths can register for a [[Pokédex]] and pick up a starter Pokémon from the local [[Pokémon professor]] or [[Pokémon Center]] free of charge. Starter Pokémon are usually raised specifically to be easy to train.

Like in the games, the specific starter Pokémon available vary from region to region, but are the same in each region as the games. That is, Kanto Trainers can only choose Bulbasaur, Charmander or Squirtle, Johto Trainers can only choose Chikorita, Cyndaquil, or Totodile, and so on.

In ''[[AG025|A Mudkip Mission]]'', it was shown where starter Pokémon come from. Each region has special breeding grounds for starter Pokémon. The [[Pokémon League]] sends these breeders the Pokémon eggs for them to hatch at secret breeding grounds. The breeders then hatch, care for, and raise the young Pokémon until they are ready to be proper starter Pokémon for new Trainers. As these young ones are virtually defenseless, the locations of breeding grounds (or even the knowledge of their existence) is a secret unknown to most in the [[Pokémon world]]. This is likely to guard against unscrupulous individuals or groups (such as [[Team Rocket]]) from poaching the young Pokémon.

Other rookie Trainers may receive their first Pokémon from a friend or relative instead; this means that Trainers can, in fact, start with any Pokémon, provided that their first Pokémon is received from someone that is not sanctioned by the Pokémon League.

===List of starter Pokémon in the anime===
* {{Ash}} received a {{AP|Pikachu}} from {{an|Professor Oak}}.
* {{an|Brock}} received an {{p|Onix}} from {{ka|Flint|his father}} that now belongs to his brother, [[Forrest]], with whom it evolved into a {{TP|Brock|Steelix}}.
* {{Gary}} received a {{p|Squirtle}} from Professor Oak that [[evolution|evolved]] into a {{TP|Gary|Blastoise}}.
* [[James]]'s first Pokémon is his pet {{p|Growlithe}} named [[Growlie]]. However, he left it at home when he ran away.
* {{an|Casey}} received a {{p|Chikorita}} from [[Professor Elm]] that evolved into a {{TP|Casey|Meganium}}.

* {{Ho|Tommy}}'s first Pokémon was a {{p|Mudkip}}, that he evolved into a {{p|Marshtomp}}. He lost it on the [[Abandoned Ship]], where it evolved again into {{p|Swampert}}. They were later reunited.
* {{Ho|Stephanie}} (''[[AG034|Having a Wailord of a Time]]'') received a {{p|Mudkip}} from Nurse Joy at the [[Slateport City]] [[Pokémon Center]].
**[[Stephanie's father]] received a {{p|Treecko}} at the same time.
* [[Xander]]'s (''[[AG142|Caterpie's Big Dilemna]]'') Caterpie was implied to be his starter Pokémon in the episode, as he mentioned that his Caterpie was his first Pokémon, albeit it was "not caught".
* {{Ka|Gilbert}} (''[[SS014|Journey to the Starting Line]]'') received a {{p|Bulbasaur}} from Professor Oak.
* {{an|Dawn}} received a {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}} from [[Professor Rowan]].
* [[Yuzo]] said that he started his Pokémon journey with a {{p|Starly}}.
* [[Paul]]'s starter Pokémon was a {{p|Turtwig}}, now a {{TP|Paul|Torterra}}.
* {{Si|Kenny}}'s first Pokémon was a {{p|Piplup}} that evolved into an {{TP|Kenny|Empoleon}}.
* [[Tyler]] (''[[DP080|Thief That Keeps on Thieving!]]'') received a {{p|Piplup}} named ''Pippy'' from an unknown location in East [[Sinnoh]].
* [[Zoey]]'s first Pokémon was a {{TP|Zoey|Glameow}} that she raised after it was abandoned. It is her signature Pokémon.
* [[Max]] intends to begin his journey with the {{p|Ralts}} that he met in ''[[AG109|Do I Hear a Ralts?]]''.
* {{an|Lyra}} received a {{p|Chikorita}} from [[Professor Elm]].
* [[Khoury]] received a {{p|Totodile}} from [[Professor Elm]] that evolved into a {{p|Croconaw}}.
* [[Trip]] received a {{TP|Trip|Snivy}} from [[Professor Juniper]] in ''[[BW001|In The Shadow of Zekrom!]]''.
* {{an|Iris}}'s first Pokémon was an {{TP|Iris|Axew}} that was given to her by a [[Old woman (Unova)|respected old woman]] in her hometown.
* Ash was also allowed to keep an {{AP|Oshawott}}, who was a starter Pokémon Professor Juniper was giving away after Oshawott had run away to be with Ash.
Several characters have also captured Pokémon in the wild that are, in the games, only available as starter Pokémon.
* Ash Ketchum captured a {{AP|Bulbasaur}}, a {{AP|Charmander}}, and a {{AP|Squirtle}} in quick succession in the [[Kanto]] region. Of the three, only Charmander evolved, becoming a {{p|Charmeleon}}, and later a {{AP|Charizard}}, both of which were ''very'' disobedient to Ash until [[EP105|an incident]] in the [[Orange Archipelago]], after which it served Ash as it had when it was a Charmander. Bulbasaur was also going to evolve, but decided itself against becoming an {{p|Ivysaur}} in ''[[EP051|Bulbasaur's Mysterious Garden]]''.
* Ash also captured the three [[Johto]] region starter Pokémon, {{p|Chikorita}}, {{AP|Cyndaquil}} and {{AP|Totodile}}, of which Cyndaquil and Chikorita evolved, into {{AP|Quilava}} and {{AP|Bayleef}}, respectively.
* Ash captured as well a {{AP|Treecko}} in [[Hoenn]], while Brock captured a {{TP|Brock|Mudkip}}. Treecko evolved twice, becoming {{AP|Sceptile}} before Ash left it at {{an|Professor Oak}}'s lab, while Brock's Mudkip evolved into {{TP|Brock|Marshtomp}}. Along with May's {{TP|May|Torchic}}, the traveling trio had the three starter Pokémon of Hoenn.
* {{an|May}} captured a {{p|Bulbasaur}} midway through her journey in Hoenn, and was given a {{TP|May|Squirtle}} by Professor Oak when she journeyed to Kanto. Bulbasaur evolved all the way into {{TP|May|Venusaur}} during May's travels through Johto. Squirtle also evolved into {{TP|May|Wartortle}} during May's travels through Johto.
* In [[Sinnoh]], Ash repeated himself by capturing {{AP|Turtwig}}, which has since evolved into a {{AP|Torterra}}. His rival, [[Paul]] owned a Chimchar that was confirmed to be caught in the wild. It was released, recaught by Ash, and is now an {{AP|Infernape}}.
* Dawn hatched a {{TP|Dawn|Cyndaquil}} during her journey in Sinnoh.
* Ash reused his pattern from the [[original series]] of capturing all starter Pokémon in [[Unova]], {{AP|Oshawott}}, {{AP|Tepig}} and {{AP|Snivy}}. However this time around he caught them in reverse of the Pokédex order rather than following it as he did in the original series.
* Gary Oak had an {{TP|Gary|Eevee}} at least since Ash was traveling in the [[Orange Archipelago|Orange Islands]]. As it was revealed to be under his ownership before his Blastoise, it caused many to hearken back to {{game|Yellow}}, where the player starts with {{p|Pikachu}}, like Ash, and the rival starts with Eevee. Either way, it was disproven that this was the case when Gary finally revealed his Blastoise to Ash. His Eevee eventually evolved into {{TP|Gary|Umbreon}}.

==In the manga==
===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
In [[Pokémon Adventures]], the starter Pokémon featured in the games are reserved for the few people who hold a Pokédex. [[Professor Oak]] produces three Pokédex for each region, and gives out the three starter Pokémon in each region along with the Pokédex to Trainers he thinks are talented. He has colleagues and friends like Professor Birch do this for him in regions in which he isn't present.

Most characters in the manga do not start out with one of the Pokédex-related starter Pokémon. Instead, they usually have a Pokémon they were given by their parents when they were infants that they use as their starter Pokémon. Occasionally, it is not directly stated which Pokémon were their starter Pokémon in the manga, but in profiles of their teams, their starter Pokémon is marked with a star and is among the highest level in the party, even if they acquired more than one Pokémon at first.

====List of starter Pokémon in Pokémon Adventures====
* {{adv|Red}}'s starter Pokémon was his [[Poli|Poliwag]]. Later, Professor Oak gave him a [[Saur|Bulbasaur]], which became a {{p|Venusaur}} in his travels.
* {{adv|Blue}}'s starter Pokémon was his [[Blue's Scizor|Scyther]]. His grandfather later gave him a {{TP|Blue|Charmander}}, which evolved twice into a {{p|Charizard}} before Red's had.
* {{adv|Green}}'s starter Pokémon was her [[Green's Wigglytuff|Jigglypuff]]. She stole a [[Blasty|Squirtle]] from Professor Oak and later obtained the third Pokédex after breaking down in tears in front of Professor Oak, who then recognized her a true Pokédex Holder and forgave her theft. By the time this happened, it had already evolved to a {{p|Blastoise}}.
* {{adv|Yellow}}'s starter Pokémon was a [[Ratty|Rattata]] that Red caught for her. Later, she borrowed Red's [[Pika|Pikachu]], and after Red took him back, caught a [[Chuchu|female Pikachu]] for herself. She originally borrowed Red's Pokédex for her journey to find and save Red, which she received permanently in the end of the {{chap|FireRed & LeafGreen}} after the three Pallet Town trainers received National Pokédexes (and the other two copies of the original Pokédex were destroyed dangerously close to the data transfer's finish). Like the Pikachu in {{v2|Yellow}}, neither evolved.
* {{adv|Gold}}'s starter Pokémon was his [[Aibo|Aipom]] that his mother gave him. Professor Elm allows him to keep a [[Exbo|Cyndaquil]], which becomes a {{p|Typhlosion}} alongside the other two starter Pokémon.
* {{adv|Silver}}'s starter Pokémon was the Sneasel that Giovanni gave him as a child. He later stole a {{TP|Silver|Totodile}} from Professor Elm, as well as the first Pokédex of [[Johto]]. His starter Pokémon evolved twice into a {{p|Feraligatr}}.
* {{adv|Crystal}}'s starter Pokémon is officially her Smoochum, although she acquired many wild Pokémon that lived as a family while she was in the wild. [[Megaree|Chikorita]] later ran away from Professor Elm to go with her, and became a {{p|Meganium}} midway into their journey.
* {{adv|Ruby}}'s starter Pokémon was his Ralts that he received from his father, though he also received his Skitty and Poochyena at the same time. Later, he got Professor Birch's [[Zuzu|Mudkip]]. It evolved into a {{p|Swampert}} from the concussive battles it underwent. He was never formally given the Pokédex, it ended up in his hands, and he was allowed to keep it.
* {{adv|Sapphire}}'s first Pokémon was the Aron her father gave her. Later, he gave her a [[Toro|Torchic]] along with her Pokédex, which evolved twice under her care into {{p|Blaziken}}.
* [[Wally]]'s first Pokémon was a Kecleon that Ruby helped him capture. However, he also borrowed Ruby's Ralts and rescued the Treecko intended for Emerald, but they ended up returned to their rightful owners, and the third Pokédex was returned to Birch, which was then finally given to Emerald.
* {{adv|Emerald}}'s first battle Pokémon was the {{TP|Emerald|Sceptile}} he rescued from the {{Gdis|Battle Frontier|III}}, which was supposed to be his in the first place. It evolved from its {{p|Grovyle}} stage in the wild, after evolving once in Wally's care.
* {{adv|Diamond}}'s first was his Munchlax, and later he received a [[Tru|Turtwig]] from Professor Rowan because of a misunderstanding. It has since evolved to {{p|Torterra}} alongside the others.
* {{adv|Pearl}}'s first was his [[Chatler|Chatot]], and later he received a [[Chimler|Chimchar]] from Professor Rowan with Diamond. The Chimchar has since evolved twice into an {{p|Infernape}}.
* {{adv|Platinum}}'s first Pokémon was her [[Platinum's Rapidash|Ponyta]], and later she received a [[Platinum's Empoleon|Piplup]] from Professor Rowan. It has since become an {{p|Empoleon}} under her care.
* {{adv|Black}} started with a {{p|Rufflet}} and a {{p|Munna}} and later acquired a {{p|Tepig}} from [[Professor Juniper]].

==Trivia==
* For [[DP001]], [[Professor Oak's lecture]] is about the starter Pokémon of Sinnoh. He writes this [[Pokémon senryū]] about them: シンオウで　たびがはじまる　ポケモンと ''Shin'ō de tabi ga hajimaru Pokémon to.'' "In [[Sinnoh]], a journey begins with Pokémon."
* For [[BW003]], [[Professor Oak's lecture]] is about the starter Pokémon of Unova. He writes this [[Pokémon senryū]] about them: パートナー　みず・くさ・ほのお　まよっちゃう ''Pātonā, mizu kusa honō, mayocchau.'' "Partner, {{t|Water}}, {{t|Grass}}, {{t|Fire}}, I can't decide."
* All starter Pokémon in the [[main series]] besides Pikachu have a 7:1 ratio of males to females, though Umbreon and Espeon in Pokémon Colosseum are always male.
** Due to this, as well as the way in which gender and shininess were determined, it was impossible to have a {{Shiny}} female starter Pokémon in [[Generation II]], as the lowest Attack [[IV]] a [[Shiny Pokémon]] could have was 2, while the highest Attack IV a female Pokémon in that gender group could have was 1.
* Each of the {{type2|Grass}} starter Pokémon is based on a reptilian creature, with Bulbasaur and Chikorita being based on {{wp|dicynodont|prehistoric}} {{wp|sauropod|reptiles}}, Treecko on {{wp|gecko}}s, Turtwig on {{wp|turtle}}s, and Snivy on a lizard/snake.
* When [[gender differences]] were introduced in [[Generation IV]], none of the {{type2|Water}} starter Pokémon received gender differences. Also, the Sinnoh region's starter Pokémon were the only set not to have any gender differences, despite being introduced in the same generation as that feature.
* The Hoenn starter Pokémon all evolve for the first time at level 16, then again at level 36. The Unova starter Pokémon all evolve for the first time at level 17, and then again at level 36. Other trios have differences among the three in either one or both evolutionary levels.
**The Unova starter Pokémon are also the only Region's starter Pokémon at which all 3 evolve into their second stage at an odd number.
* Other than {{p|Pikachu}} in the main series, {{p|Bulbasaur}}, {{p|Charmander}} and {{p|Squirtle}} are the only starter Pokémon to appear in more than one [[regional Pokédex]].
* The starter Pokémon of Generation III each had their own [[signature moves]]: {{m|Leaf Blade}} (Sceptile), {{m|Blaze Kick}} (Blaziken), and {{m|Muddy Water}} (Swampert). However once Generation IV came around, other Pokémon were capable of learning these moves. Currently, the only starter Pokémon family with a signature move exclusive to them is {{p|Tepig}} and its evolutions, the move being {{m|Heat Crash}}.
* Only the Johto starter Pokémon's final forms can be legitimately obtained in a type of Poké Ball other than the standard one. This is due to the ability to [[snagging|snag]] their middle forms in {{g|Colosseum}}.
* In interviews with [[Junichi Masuda]] during 2009, he stated that starter Pokémon are the Pokémon from each game that the most work goes into, and usually take significantly more time than other Pokémon in each generation.
* When a starter Pokémon is first obtained, all are at level 5. Each knows one {{type2|Normal}} [[physical move]] and a stat-altering [[status move]] at this level, except for {{p|Pikachu}}, which has {{m|ThunderShock}} instead of a Normal-type move.
* Other than the Mystery Dungeon series, Pokémon Colosseum is the only Pokémon game that the player starts out with two Pokémon. They are also the highest leveled.
* In {{game2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}, {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, and eventually {{2v2|Black|White}}, all of the starter Pokémon are taken, instead of one being left at the lab.
* All of the Grass-type starter Pokémon have the ability {{a|Overgrow}}, the Fire-type ones {{a|Blaze}}, and the Water-type ones {{a|Torrent}}. The exception to this are the evolutions of the {{p|Eevee}} obtained in Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness.
** However, through the {{pkmn|Dream World}}, it is possible to find starter Pokémon with other abilities.
* In the [[National Pokédex]] and the regional Pokédexes, the Grass-type starter Pokémon comes numerically before the others. The Water-type ones always come last numerically.
* Espeon and Umbreon are the only starter Pokémon that are received fully evolved. Also, these two are the only starter Pokémon which are received together.
* Neither of the main series starter Pokémon that are based on birds ({{p|Torchic}} and {{p|Piplup}}) are {{type2|Flying}} nor are able to {{m|fly}}.
* {{p|Bulbasaur}} is the only starter Pokémon in the main series to have a secondary-type in its unevolved stage.
* All three Johto starter Pokémon stay a single type throughout their evolutionary lines, while all three Sinnoh starter Pokémon have dual-types by their last evolutionary stage.
* All three starter Pokémon types in the main series (with the exception of {{t|Electric}}) has had one Pokémon in its final-stage of evolution to have a double weakness; {{p|Charizard}} is doubly weak to {{type2|Rock}}, {{p|Swampert}} is doubly weak to {{type2|Grass}} and {{p|Torterra}} is doubly weak to {{type2|Ice}}.
* Two of the three Johto fully evolved starter Pokémon, {{p|Typhlosion}} and {{p|Feraligatr}}, share the position of the fully evolved starter Pokémon to have the longest name. However, they tie with the not fully evolved starter Pokémon {{p|Charmander}} and {{p|Charmeleon}}. Also, two of the three Unova starter Pokémon, {{p|Snivy}} and {{p|Tepig}}, share the position of the starter Pokémon or its evolutions with the shortest name.
* All three of the [[Unova]] starters start out with the ability to use {{m|Tackle}} as part of their movesets. They also start out with the ability to learn a defensive move that lowers the opponent's defense by one level, with {{p|Snivy}} knowing {{m|Leer}} and {{p|Tepig}} and {{p|Oshawott}} knowing {{m|Tail Whip}}.
===Anime similarities===
* Ash has owned all five Grass-type starter Pokémon: {{AP|Bulbasaur}}, {{AP|Chikorita}}, {{AP|Treecko}}, {{AP|Turtwig}} and {{AP|Snivy}}. All of them except Bulbasaur and Snivy have evolved since then.
*Each {{type2|Water}} starter Pokémon obtained by a main character was not battled: [[Ash's Squirtle]] and {{AP|Oshawott}} chose to join his team, while Ash fought and won against Misty for his {{AP|Totodile}}. Brock did not battle {{TP|Brock|Mudkip}} to obtain it. May received her {{TP|May|Squirtle}} from [[Professor Oak]], and Dawn received her {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}} from [[Professor Rowan]].
* {{p|Charmander}} and {{p|Treecko}} are both based on lizards (salamander, gecko). Ash had the final forms of them: {{AP|Charizard}} and {{AP|Sceptile}}. It should be noted, however, that a real life salamander is an amphibian, not a lizard; however, Charmander is based upon the legendary creature known as the {{wp|salamander (legendary creature)|Salamander}}.
* {{p|Squirtle}} and {{p|Turtwig}} are both based on turtles and were the starter Pokémon of two of Ash's rivals, {{Gary}} and [[Paul]].
* {{p|Torchic}} and {{p|Piplup}} are both based on birds (chicken, penguin). They were also both owned by the anime's resident [[Pokémon Coordinator]]s.
* Both May and Dawn have a second starter Pokémon from a previous generation with a type disadvantage to their first.

==Trivia==
* Nageki and {{p|Sawk}} draw parallels to the [[Generation I]] Pokémon {{p|Hitmonlee}} and {{p|Hitmonchan}}, in that they are {{type2|Fighting}} Pokémon that appear to be related to each other.
* Nageki, along with {{p|Sawk}}, {{p|Washibon}}, {{p|Braviary}}, {{p|Tauros}}, and the [[Hitmons]], is one of the few gendered non-legendary Pokémon naturally occurring in the wild that cannot reproduce without a {{p|Ditto}}.
* Nageki learns only physical and status moves by level, and only Normal and Fighting type moves.
** The only special attacks it can learn at all are Round, Focus Blast, Grass Knot and Hidden Power, and only by TM.

===Origin===
Nageki is based upon a {{wp|Judo}} master.

====Name origin====
Its name is the combination of 投げる ''nageru'', to throw, and 撃 ''geki'', strike.

'''Sawk''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ダゲキ''' ''Dageki'') is a {{type2|Fighting}} Pokémon introduced in [[Generation V]].

It is not known to evolve into or from any other Pokémon, though seems to be related to {{p|Nageki}}.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Sawk is a Fighting-type Pokémon with a lean body, blue, rocky skin, and seemingly wearing a white and black martial arts outfit. Its head is almond-shaped, with a skewed "Z" shape over its nose and left eye. The collar of its outfit is rimmed in black, and the sleeves sport a crisscrossed pattern. Sawk’s hands are blue with three fingers. It has a black, martial-arts style belt, and its white “pants” have black patches on the knees. Its feet have three digits.

====Gender differences====
Sawk are a male-only species.

===Special abilities===
Once a Sawk's belt is tied, it becomes even stronger.

===Behavior===
A Sawk will become angry if its training is interrupted.

'''Ash's Charizard''' (Japanese: '''サトシのリザードン''' ''Satoshi's Lizardon'') was the fifth {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} acquired by [[Ash Ketchum]] in the [[Kanto]] region.

==History==
[[Image:Ash Charmander.png‎|As a {{p|Charmander}}|200px|thumb|left]]
Charizard was originally obtained as a {{p|Charmander}} in ''[[EP011|Charmander – The Stray Pokémon]]''. The Charmander was abandoned by [[Damian]], and Ash and {{ashfr|his friends}} found and nurtured it back to health. Charmander then chose to join Ash. It was immediately one of Ash's most used Pokémon, defeating such opponents as a {{p|Golem}}, a {{p|Jynx}}, [[Koga]]'s {{p|Golbat}}, [[Erika]]'s {{p|Weepinbell}}, and a {{AP|Primeape}} (which Ash subsequently captured).

Charmander [[Evolution|evolved]] into {{p|Charmeleon}} in ''[[EP043|March of the Exeggutor Squad]]'' and quickly lost its loyalty to Ash, attacking a {{p|Paras}} when Ash was trying to deliberately lose in order to help Paras evolve (''[[EP044|The Problem with Paras]]''). A few episodes down the line, it evolved again into {{p|Charizard}} in ''[[EP046|Attack of the Prehistoric Pokémon]]'' to {{pkmn|battle}} an {{p|Aerodactyl}}. From the time of its becoming Charmeleon to the [[Pokémon: The Adventures in the Orange Islands|Orange Islands]] episode ''[[EP105|Charizard Chills]]'', Charizard refused to obey Ash, the only exception being when he decided to test his strength against [[Blaine]]'s powerful {{TP|Blaine|Magmar}} during Ash's attempts to win a {{Badge|Volcano}}. Charizard's disloyalty especially hurt Ash the most during the [[Indigo League]] championships, causing Ash to forfeit the fifth round when it refused to battle [[Ritchie]]'s {{p|Pikachu}}, [[Sparky]].

Before ''[[EP105|Charizard Chills]]'' Charizard was still disobedient towards Ash. In the episode ''[[EP093|Navel Maneuvers]]'', Charizard, {{AP|Pikachu}} and Bulbasaur were used in the second round of the match between Ash and [[Danny]]. Charizard was initially unwilling to participate, and Danny nearly won. However, Charizard unwillingly helped when it tried to use {{m|Flamethrower}} on Ash but missed and carved an ice pillar into a sled. This meant Ash won the round and was able to continue the match.

After ''[[EP105|Charizard Chills]]'', it became one of Ash's most reliable Pokémon, and has been considered his strongest. In this episode, Charizard was frozen by a {{p|Poliwrath}}'s {{m|Ice Beam}}; Ash stayed up all night trying to thaw it out and, in the process, reminded Charizard of everything Ash had done for it since it was a Charmander. Charizard's respect for and loyalty to Ash returned overnight.
[[File:Ash Charmeleon.png|200px|As a {{p|Charmeleon}}|thumb|right]]

It participated in Ash's Gym battle against [[Luana]], where it fought Luana's {{p|Alakazam}} and {{p|Marowak}} alongside Ash's Pikachu in the series' first [[double battle]]. The two Pokémon initially had trouble collaborating, but eventually managed to work together: Pikachu helped to free Charizard from Alakazam's {{m|Psychic}} attack and Charizard caught Pikachu after it was hit by Marowak's {{m|Body Slam}} attack. Charizard was also used in Ash's Orange League battle against {{oi|Drake}}. Charizard defeated Drake's {{p|Electabuzz}} and also fought {{TP|Drake|Dragonite}} before it fainted.

It participated in Ash's first Johto Gym battle against [[Falkner]], where it defeated Falkner's {{p|Pidgeot}} despite the latter's impressive {{stat|Speed}}. In ''[[EP134|Charizard's Burning Ambition]]'', Ash left his Charizard in the [[Charicific Valley]] with {{Jo|Liza}} to train and become more powerful. While there, it took the role of bodyguard for Liza's Charizard, [[Charla]], and the two seem to have struck up a [[ValleyShipping|romantic relationship]]. Liza occasionally visit the [[Dragon's Den|Dragon's Valley]] in [[Blackthorn City]] alongside the two Charizard, one such visit coincidentally being when Ash was there for his final [[Johto]] gym battle, resulting in Charizard helping Ash defeat [[Clair]]'s newly-evolved {{TP|Clair|Dragonair}} in his rematch with her by causing the water in the gym's pool to evaporate with its {{m|Flamethrower}} and {{m|Fire Spin}}, thus depriving Dragonair of its protection.
[[Image:Ash and Charizard.png|230px|left|thumb|Ash and Charizard]]

Ash later used Charizard in the [[Silver Conference]] during his fight against [[Gary Oak]] in ''[[EP270|Can't Beat the Heat!]]'' (during which it decisively defeated [[Gary's Blastoise]] despite the type disadvantage and having already defeated Gary's {{p|Scizor}} and Golem). It was then used in Ash's fight against {{jo|Harrison}}, where it was defeated by [[Harrison's Blaziken]] after a tough fight despite it having a type advantage. However, Charizard injured Blaziken so badly that it couldn't fight the next day.

Charizard can be called upon at any time. In ''[[AG136|The Symbol Life]]'', it returned for Ash's first {{Gdis|Battle Frontier|III}} battle, where it took on [[Noland's Articuno]] at the {{DL|Battle Frontier (Generation III)|Battle Factory}}. Despite Articuno's effort and use of {{m|Water Pulse}}, Charizard won by using {{m|Overheat}}, which it had just learned; using the unorthodox strategy of catching Articuno as it tried to use {{m|Steel Wing}}; and using its trademark move, {{m|Seismic Toss}}.

Charizard also battled alongside Squirtle, Bulbasaur, and Pikachu in a four-on-four battle against {{FB|Pyramid King|Brandon}}'s Pokémon in ''[[AG189|Gathering the Gang of Four!]]'', but despite a good fight it was defeated by Brandon's {{p|Dusclops}}.

===Moves improvised===
*'''"Aerial Submission"''' was used by Charizard in ''[[EP059|Volcanic Panic]]''. Charizard spins while flying, causing damage to [[Blaine's Magmar]], who was clinging on to Charizard.

*'''"Flaming Seismic Toss"''' was used in ''[[EP254|Better Eight Than Never]]'' which is a combination of Charizard's {{m|Seismic Toss}} and {{m|Fire Spin}} along with {{TP|Clair|Dragonair}}'s {{m|Dragon Rage}}.

==In the Electric Tale of Pikachu manga==
[[File:Ash Charmander manga.jpg|thumb|left|Ash's Charizard, as a Charmander, in The Electric Tale of Pikachu]]
[[File:Ash Charizard violent.png|thumb|Ash's Charizard displaying its violence]]
Ash's Charizard makes a few appearances in the {{pkmn|manga}} series [[Electric Tale of Pikachu|The Electric Tale of Pikachu]]. The circumstances in which Ash captures a Charmander appear to be different in the manga. While [[Damian]] appears in ''[[ET07|Pikachu's Excellent Adventure]]'', he was separated from his Charmander because he was injured, not because he abandoned it. At the end of the chapter, the two reunite in the [[Hidden Village]].

Despite this difference, Ash is still seen owning a Charmander, which first appears in ''[[ET08|You Gotta Have Friends]]''. Charmander's capture is not shown in the manga, instead, it is explained that "Ash has been busy since the last comic!" when Charmander first appears from its [[Poké Ball]].

Later in the manga, Ash's Charmander reappears as a Charizard. In the manga, Charizard is much more violent, and can normally only be calmed by a torch that Ash carries around, which contains a flame from {{p|Moltres}}.

In ''[[ET13|The Indigo Finals]]'', during Ash's battle against [[Ritchie]], both Trainers send out a Charizard as their last Pokémon. Ash's Charizard goes berserk and severely injures [[Zippo|Ritchie's]], to the point that it's shown bleeding heavily from multiple wounds. Overwhelmed by guilt, Ash leaves the arena, thus forfeiting the battle even though he technically won. It is later mentioned that Ritchie's Charizard will be okay.

==Trivia==
* Out of all of Ash's Pokémon, Charizard has used the most moves, a total of 16 (17 if the unused {{m|Mega Punch}} is counted).
* Paul's {{AP|Chimchar|Infernape}}, as well as {{AP|Tepig}}, were later in similar situations as Charmander, with the original Trainer releasing them due to them never winning any battles and Ash subsequently taking them in and managing to encourage them both to release their full potential.
** Coincidentally, they are all Fire-types, and the two other than Tepig have evolved twice.
* During ''[[EP133|Tanks a Lot!]]'', Brock mentioned that Charizard was male when saying that Charizard could use ''his'' {{m|Flamethrower}} to destroy the Arbo-Tank, but since this only occurred in the dub it is uncertain how dependable this information is. Further hints to Charizard's gender were applied with the introduction of [[Charla]].
* According to the anime, Charizard and its pre-evolutions die if the flame on their tails go out. However, Ash's Charizard once had its tail completely submerged in a pool of water, as well as falling into the ocean as a Charmander, but it was not harmed either time.
** Interestingly enough, on the Orange Islands DVD box set, the thumbnail picture next to the episode ''Enter the Dragonite'' on the menu shows Charizard facing Dragonite, but Charizard's flame is missing.
* Charizard was actually Ash's third Pokémon to disobey him. The first two were {{AP|Pikachu}} and {{AP|Primeape}}, although Charizard disobeyed Ash for far longer than the other two.
* Charizard was the first of Ash's starter Pokémon to evolve to its final stage, the following ones being {{AP|Sceptile}}, {{AP|Infernape}}, and {{AP|Torterra}}.
* From ''[[EP059|Volcanic Panic]]'', Charizard has ended every major battle it has won with {{m|Seismic Toss}}, with the exception of [[double battle]]s and episodes in which it was unable to use the move.
* Charizard was the first Pokémon in the {{pkmn|anime}} to have defeated a [[legendary Pokémon]]. It fought and beat [[Noland's Articuno]] in ''[[AG136|The Symbol Life]]''.
* Charizard is similar to [[Dawn's Mamoswine]] in several aspects. Both Pokémon began to disobey their respective Trainers after rapid evolution, only to begin following orders after each facing another Pokémon who severely injured them.
* At the moment, Charizard is the only Pokémon Ash has had that refused to obey him after evolving. Every other Pokémon obeyed him without question following their evolutions.
* Even though Charizard have not been able to legitimately know {{m|DragonBreath}} since [[Generation II]] (when the move was contained in a TM), Ash's Charizard first used the move in ''[[AG136|The Symbol Life]]'', an {{series|Advanced Generation}} episode.

'''Azurill''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ルリリ''' ''Ruriri'') is a {{type2|Normal}} [[baby Pokémon]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Marill}} via [[happiness]], who evolves into {{p|Azumarill}} starting at [[level]] 18.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Azurill's ball tail appears to be the biggest of its evolution family, this is due to Azurill's body itself being small. It is large and bouncy and packed full of the nutrients this Pokémon needs to grow. Azurill can be seen bouncing and playing on its big, rubbery tail. The tail is a flotation device in water. It is the only one of its evolutions with white to the side of its cheeks, not under its chest. It also has no arms; however, this does not affect its mobility.
====Gender differences====
None.

===Special abilities===
Azurill spins its tail as if it were a lasso, then hurls it far. The momentum of the throw sends its body flying, too. Using this unique action, one of these Pokémon managed to hurl itself a record 33 feet.

Battling-wise, Azurill are incredibly weak due to their infantile state, having very little potential.

===Behavior===
On sunny days they gather at the edge of water and splash about for fun. Azurill will spin its tail as if it were a lasso, then hurl it far. The momentum of the throw sends its body flying, too.

===Habitat===
[[File:Watersedge.gif|left|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Water's-edge Pokémon}}]]
Azurill live by the water.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

[[File:Misty Azurill.png|thumb|{{TP|Misty|Azurill}} in the anime]]
==In the anime==

{{an|May}} made an attempt at capturing the Polka Dot Pokémon in ''[[AG002|A Ruin with a View]]''. She failed and her {{TP|May|Torchic|Blaziken}} got sprayed into submission by the Azurill's evolved forms.

An Azurill was used in the [[Izabe Island]] Pokémon Contest in ''[[AG103|A Cacturne for the Worse]]''. [[Harley's Cacturne]] defeated the Polka Dot Pokémon in the second half of the contest.

An Azurill appeared under the care of [[Katrina (Hoenn)|Katrina]] in ''[[AG011|A Bite to Remember]]''.

Two Azurill appeared in ''[[AG032|Abandon Ship!]]'' living on the ship and bouncing past the group with a Marill.

{{an|Misty}} was seen with an {{TP|Misty|Azurill}} in ''[[AG132|The Scheme Team]]''.

An Azurill also appeared in ''[[M10|The Rise of Darkrai]]'', along with a {{p|Marill}} and an {{p|Azumarill}}.

An Azurill appeared in ''[[DP084|Hungry For the Good Life!]]''.

An Azurill appeared in ''[[AG035|Win, Lose, or Drew!]]'' as a Pokémon in the Contest.

An Azurill appeared in [[M13|Zoroark: Master of Illusions]].

==Game data==
===NPC appearances===
* [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness]]: Azurill is one of the residents of Treasure Town. He gets captured by {{p|Drowzee}} and is forced to get treasure for him, but is rescued by the player's team. Azurill and his older brother {{p|Marill}} continue to search for the item Water Float, hearing that there's one at the beach. Soon after, Azurill and Marill find out that it is at [[Amp Plains]] and asks if the player and his/her partner could get it. Later on, Azurill falls into an unwakeable nightmare, and the player has to get Drowzee's help to look into his dream.

==Trivia==
* Azurill is the first Generation III Pokémon by National Pokédex order to be related to a Pokémon of a previous generation.
*Azurill is, by statistical average, the second-weakest Pokémon in the games, stronger only than {{p|Sunkern}}.
*Azurill and {{p|Wynaut}} are the first two Pokémon which are only breedable from their evolved forms if the parent is holding a certain [[incense]].
**They are also, coincidentally, the only {{cat|Generation III Pokémon}} related to Pokémon of a previous generation.
*Azurill is one of only two Pokémon to change its type completely upon evolution. The other is {{p|Eevee}}.
**Coincidentally, both these Pokémon are {{type2|Normal}}, and can evolve into a {{type2|Water}}.
* Polka dots are known in Japan as 水玉 ''mizutama'', literally meaning water balls. This may explain why Azurill is known as the Polka Dot Pokémon.
** This name also reflects the way Azurill is indirectly related with {{t|Water}}.
*Azurill is currently the only Pokémon which does not evolve based on gender whose gender ratio does not match that of its evolved forms, being female 75% of the time while Marill and Azumarill are female only 50% of the time. Due to this, one of every three female Azurill evolve into a male Marill (whether or not this will happen is determined by the hidden [[personality value]]). It is unknown if this is an error in programming or if it was intentional to reference real-world animals that change sex under specific conditions.
*Azurill, along with {{p|Wailmer}} and {{p|Kecleon}}, was one of the first {{cat|Generation III Pokémon}} revealed, in early March of 2001.
**This is similar to how its evolved form {{p|Marill}} was introduced before [[Generation II]].
*Azurill has the lowest base stat total of all baby Pokémon.
*Azurill is the only Pokémon which evolves through [[happiness]] whose evolution evolves by level.
*With Huge Power, Azurill can reach the highest Attack stat of all Baby Pokémon, capping at a maximum of 304.
*Azurill is the only non-{{type|Water}} to learn {{m|Waterlog}}, but only through breeding.
** However, it does evolve into a Water-type Pokémon.
* Its species name is rather ironic, as Azumarill has many more polka dots than Azurill.

===Origin===
Azurill appears to be a {{wp|mouse}} combined with a {{wp|beach ball}} or possibly a {{wp|personal flotation device}} or {{wp|lifebuoy}}.

====Name origin====
Azurill's name is a combination of ''{{wp|azure}}'', referring to its color, and ''rill''. ''Ruriri'' seems to be a corruption of 瑠璃 ''ruri'', {{wp|lapis lazuli}}, which is probably in its evolution's, {{p|Marill}}'s, name, or it could be a variation of azurite, a blue rock. The "Azu" part of Azurill's name may come from azul, the Spanish word for blue.

'''Mew''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ミュウ''' ''Mew'') is a {{type2|Psychic}} [[legendary Pokémon]].

It is not known to evolve into or from any other Pokémon.

Mew is notable for its unique ability to learn every [[TM|Technical Machine]], [[HM|Hidden Machine]] and [[move tutor]] move (except those exclusive to a particular Pokémon or group of Pokémon, such as {{m|Draco Meteor}} and {{m|Sword of Mystery}}).

Mew is the last Pokémon in the [[List of Pokémon by Kanto Pokédex number|Kanto Pokédex]].

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Mew is normally described as a pink cat-like creature, though its morphology is actually more like a {{wp|jerboa}}. Mew's hair is so fine and thin, it can only be seen under a microscope. It has a long, skinny tail. Mew has big hind legs, like a {{wp|rabbit}}, and short arms with three-fingered paws. Mew has triangle-shaped ears and baby-blue eyes. Mew is said to have the {{wp|DNA}} of every single Pokémon contained within its body. It also vaguely resembles an embryo or fetus, and is often depicted in a pink orb.
====Gender differences====
Mew is a genderless species.

====Special abilities====
Mew's main abilities include turning invisible at will (similar to {{p|Rotom}}), creating force-fields of psychic energy and being able to {{m|transform}} into any one of the other 648 species of Pokémon. Mew is capable of wielding every [[type]] of attack possible. It also has the ability to float in mid-air, in much the same fashion as {{p|Celebi}} and {{p|Jirachi}}. It has been seen to be able to swim {{m|Dive|underwater}} as well.

===Behavior===
Mew is a very curious and intelligent Pokémon that will only appear to someone with a pure heart. It loves playing around and swimming, and is known to act very childish at times, wanting everybody it trusts to play with it. It is attracted to {{wp|lullabies}} and will try to stay as close to the music as possible. All in all, Mew is known as a happy, playful and optimistic species of Pokémon, unlike its clone, {{p|Mewtwo}}.

===Habitat===
[[File:Rare.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Rare Pokémon}}]]
Reports found in the Burned Mansion found in [[Cinnabar Island]] in the [[Kanto]] region speak of expeditions of scientists, either independent or Team Rocket-funded which had sighted Mew in {{wp|Guyana}}, South America, the place where its first sighting was reported. However, since Mew can either make itself invisible or transform itself into any other Pokémon, very few people have knowingly seen it, and it is called a mirage by most. Since many scientists believe that Mew is the ancestor of all Pokémon, and a number of extraterrestrial Pokémon have been discovered, it is possible that Mew could inhabit other areas of the universe, and whether it originates from [[Pokémon world|Earth]] at all is debatable.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}
Considering Mew's unique lifestyle as a floating Psychic Pokémon, and that no terrestrial animal resembles it, there is no known diet for Mew. However, it can be found with the [[Lum Berry]], which might offer a clue as to what it eats.

==In the anime==
{{spoiler}}
[[File:MewInBubble.png|thumb|right|In ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'']]
===Major appearances===
====[[Mew (movie 1)|Mew (Mewtwo Strikes Back)]]====
In this movie, Mew made a couple of cameo appearances at the start of the movie. A {{an|Mewtwo}} was cloned from Mew's DNA, extracted from Mew's eyelash. Later, Mew started appearing around [[New Island]] while Mewtwo was testing his [[starter Pokémon]] clones. Mew followed [[Team Rocket]] into the main part of the island so it could stop Mewtwo from destroying the world. After the end credits of the movie, Mew is shown flying to the mountains.

Mew makes a small appearance in the hour-length special ''[[Mewtwo Returns]]'', the sequel to ''Mewtwo Strikes Back''. Mewtwo sees it after being thrown into the Purity Spring.

====[[Mew (movie 8)|Mew (Lucario and the Mystery of Mew)]]====
[[File:Mew.png|right|thumb|In ''[[M08|Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]'']]
Another Mew first appeared transformed as a {{p|Ho-Oh}}, and then as a {{p|Taillow}}, landing on [[Cameran Palace]] and then {{m|transform}}ing into {{p|Treecko}}. It then transformed into an {{p|Aipom}} to play with [[Ash's Pikachu]]. {{Ash}} and {{Ashfr|the others}} released their Pokémon to play with what they thought was an Aipom.

After taking them to an attic, [[Kidd Summers]] sent her two {{p|Weavile}} after it. To escape, it {{m|teleport}}ed itself, along with Pikachu and {{MTR}}. It then transformed once again into a {{p|Pidgeot}} and flew the Pokémon to the [[Tree of Beginning]]. While Ash and the others were looking for Pikachu, Mew kept it entertained with toys.

Mew also nearly sacrificed itself to save the Tree of Beginning. {{mov|Lucario|Lucario|8}} stepped in and was able to save Mew, but ended up sacrificing itself. Mew is believed to still reside at the Tree of Beginning. It is last seen playing with a {{p|Bonsly}}.

====Other====
A {{pkmn2|mirage}} Mew appears in ''[[The Mastermind of Mirage Pokémon]]'', and helps to interfere with the plans of [[Dr. Yung|Mirage Master]].

===Minor appearances===
[[Lawrence III]]'s actions in ''[[M02|The Power of One]]'' were apparently set in motion due to an Ancient Mew card; the card itself was actually shown in the movie.

A Mew appeared in the [[boss fantasy]] of ''[[DP092|A Lean Mean Team Rocket Machine!]]''. As of this episode, every {{cat|Generation I Pokémon}} has appeared in at least one episode of the anime.

==In the manga==
[[File:Mew Adventures.png|right|thumb|Mew as it appears in the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga]]
===Pokémon Adventures===
Mew debuted in its own round in the {{chap|Red, Green & Blue}}, ''[[PS001|A Glimpse of the Glow]]''. Here, {{adv|Red}} and {{adv|Blue}} see one in [[Pallet Town]] and try to catch it, but fail. It is known as the "Phantom Pokémon" and was chased by [[Team Rocket]].

Team Rocket's chase would continue all the way to the {{DL|Pokémon Adventures volume 2|the next volume}}, where they attempt to regain the disc containing Mew's habitat and information from {{adv|Green}}, but fail and are tricked into stealing an empty one she prepared. They catch up to Green and her unwilling ally Red soon afterward, and interrupt them when they tracked down and attempted to capture the rare Pokémon. However, when their {{p|Jynx}} was able to almost succeed, Mew's powerful psychic attack left them listless, and soon escaped. The small samples of its DNA that the Rockets acquired, however, led to the creation of its powerful clone.

Another volume later, Mew is briefly seen looking into the [[Indigo Plateau]] after Red wins the Pokémon League championship and decides to return to Pallet Town with his two fellow [[Pokédex Holder]]s.

It later reappeared in the {{chap|FireRed & LeafGreen}}, where it saved Red and the people of [[Vermilion City]] from the impending crash of the TR helicopter. {{adv|Mewtwo}} notices this, and realizes that he too had a root to trace itself back to, as it was born from Mew's eyelash.

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

==Other appearances==
[[File:SSBB Mew.png|right|thumb|Mew in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]]]
===[[Super Smash Bros.]]/[[Super Smash Bros. Melee|Melee]]/[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl|Brawl]]===
In Super Smash Bros. Mew will sometimes appear out of a [[Poké Ball]]. When summoned, it will use {{m|Fly}} to leave the arena. In single player, the summoner is awarded the "Mew Catcher" bonus, worth 10,000 points.

After unlocking every character in Melee, there is a 1 in 251 chance of Mew appearing from a Poké Ball. The thrower of the Poké Ball receives the same "Mew Catcher" bonus.

Mew returns again as a rare Pokémon in Brawl, the chance of it appearing is 1 in 493 this time. Like the other "secret" Pokémon, it drops rare items instead of just flying away. In Mew's case, the items are CDs. However, once all the pick-up CDs are obtained, it will drop Stickers instead.

===[[Pokémon Snap]]===
Mew appears in the seventh course, [[Rainbow Cloud]]. Although the game is not combat-oriented, the difficulty of photographing Mew effectively make it the game's boss. Mew floats in a bubble that turns opaque when the zoom is activated, so players must throw a series of Pester Balls or Food at it to break the bubble so Mew will come out for a clear shot. Photographing Mew gets an automatic bonus of 2500 points, making it the highest ranking Pokémon in the game with a highest possible score of 10,000 points with perfect positioning, size and pose.

==Game data==
===NPC appearances===
* [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness]]: Mew is the guardian of the [[Seven Treasures|Grass Cornet]].
* In [[PokéPark Wii: Pikachu's Adventure]] Mew takes Pikachu and their friends {{p|Chikorita}}, {{p|Piplup}}, and {{p|Charmander}} to the PokéPark. It then appears to Pikachu in a dream once they've arrived in the PokéPark and tells Pikachu to collect pieces of the [[Sky Prism]] so that peace can be restored to the PokéPark. Once all the pieces have been obtained Mew awaits Pikachu at the [[Sky Pavilion]] where it plays.

==Trivia==
* Though it comes after Mewtwo in the Pokédex, it has to have been found before Mewtwo, due to the fact that Mewtwo is Mew's clone.
* Mew was the only Pokémon of the first 151 to be left out of the original version of the [[Pokérap]].
* Mew was a little-known secret when {{game|Red and Green|s}} were first released in Japan. Even Nintendo was not initially aware that [[Shigeki Morimoto]] had programmed it into the game.<ref>http://www.nintendo.co.uk/NOE/en_GB/news/iwata/iwata_asks_-_pokmon_heartgold_version__soulsilver_version_16288_16289.html</ref>
* In the games, lost scientific reports state that Mew was found in the forests of Guyana.
* In [[Generation III]], Mew was the only [[Kanto]] Pokémon not catchable in either {{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}}, as well as the only legendary Kanto Pokémon catchable in {{v2|Emerald}}.
* Mew is the only genderless Pokémon able to learn {{m|Captivate}}, and the only genderlesss Pokémon besides {{p|Furiijio}} to learn {{m|Attract}}; however, when used by genderless Pokémon, these moves will always fail.
* Mew's English name, only three letters long, is the shortest of all Pokémon. It shares this distinction with {{p|Muk}}.
* Unlike most [[legendary Pokémon]], Mew needs only 1,059,860 Exp. to get to level 100, whereas most legendary Pokémon need 1,250,000. It shares this trait with both {{p|Celebi}} and {{p|Shaymin}}.
** Coincidentally, the three of them all have base 100 stats.
* If Mew were considered an embodiment of 'earth', it and the other 'fairy legendary Pokémon' would represent the Chinese Wu Xing, fire (Victini), water (Manaphy), earth (Mew), wood (Celebi), and metal (Jirachi).
* In [[Super Smash Bros.]] it has a chance of 1 out of 151 to appear, in [[Super Smash Bros. Melee]], its chance to appear is 1 out of 251, and in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]], its chance to appear is 1 out of 493. These are the total numbers of Pokémon in [[Generation I]], [[Generation II]], and [[Generation IV]], respectively.
[[File:Wildmew.jpg|thumb|right|A wild Mew found using the [[Mew glitch]]]]
* Although Mew is considered the ancestor of all Pokémon, {{p|Arceus}} is said to be the first of all Pokémon.
* Mew's species name, "New Species", is rather ironic, as it is in fact one of the first ever Pokémon to have existed.
** In the games it is also unable to breed, despite being the ancestor of all Pokémon.
* In many of the games, Mew is depicted as pink. However, in the movies and some of the spin off games, Mew is a much lighter color.
* Mew shares the move {{m|Transform}} with {{p|Ditto}}, along with also sharing the same color, both {{Shiny}} and not, as well as having the same weight.
* In an interview with Game Freak and Creatures, Inc. in Nintendo Power issue 134, Tsunekazu Ishihara revealed that he created Mew two weeks before game development was finished.
* For the most recent release of Mew as an event for {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, for the US it was released ten years to the day for the anniversary for the original release of {{2v2|Gold|Silver}}.
* Mew's tail in the back sprites of {{2v2|FireRed|LeafGreen}} grew in length from the {{2v2|Ruby|Sapphire}} back sprites.
* Mew is the mascot of the fansite {{OBP|Legendary Pokémon|site}}.
* Mew is the only Pokémon able to learn {{m|Sky Drop}} without getting STAB from it.
* In [[PokéPark Wii: Pikachu's Adventure]], Mew is referred to as a male, despite being a genderless Pokémon.

===Trademark===
* Mew (then spelled ミュー, not ミュウ) was the first Pokémon trademark ever registered (granted on March 31, 1994, registration number 2636685 part 12), before even Pocket Monsters (ポケットモンスター), which was granted on December 26, 1997.
** ミュウ was registered on August 6, 1999, registration number 4302090.
* Mew is also the first Pokémon trademark ever applied for; the application was submitted on May 9, 1990, application number 平2-51989; before even Pocket Monsters, which was submitted September 11, 1995.
** ミュウ was submitted on June 17, 1997, application number 平9-128909.

===Origin===
{{Bulbanews|On the Origin of Species: Mew}}
Mew is similar to a vertebrate {{wp|embryo}}. It is purported by scientists to be the ancestor of all other Pokémon, a reference to the {{wp|recapitulation theory}}. It also shares some traits with felines.

====Name origin====
Mew's name may refer to its {{wp|cat}}-like appearance, with ''mew'' being the sound a kitten makes, the Japanese word ''unique'' (myō), or the English word ''{{wp|mutant}}'' (myūtanto).

** It is the only one of these to learn {{m|Fly}} and {{m|Magnet Rise}}.
* It learns a new move by level up each tenth level, the only exception being level 59.
* Volcarona is the last non-legendary Pokémon in the National Pokédex order.
*It is one of the few Pokémon part of a two-stage evolution that distributes three EV points while its pre-evolution only gives one.
*Volcarona is the only Pokémon to date with a [[catch rate]] of 15.

===Origin===
Volcarona is based on a moth, particularly the {{wp|Attacus atlas|Atlas moth}}. Conceptwise, it may be based on a {{wp|solar deity}}, a type of god said to be able to control various aspects of the sun such as sunrise, sunset, eclipses, position, etc. Its wings may be based on the petals of a {{wp|Lilium philadelphicum|tiger lily}}, having the same number of extensions, black spots, and red-orange coloring. The head and collar of Volcarona bears a strong resemblance to the headpiece of {{wp|Hathor}}, which depicts the horns of the goddess cradling a disk representing the sun in between.

====Name origin====
Volcarona comes from ''volcano'' and {{wp|Corona}} both referencing its [[Fire type]] and its status as the Sun Pokémon.

===Origin===
Volcarona is based on a moth, particularly the {{wp|Attacus atlas|Atlas moth}}. Conceptwise, it may be based on a {{wp|solar deity}}, a type of god said to be able to control various aspects of the sun such as sunrise, sunset, eclipses, position, etc. Its wings may be based on the petals of a {{wp|Lilium philadelphicum|tiger lily}}, having the same number of extensions, black spots, and red-orange coloring. The head and collar of Volcarona bears a strong resemblance to the headpiece of {{wp|Hathor}}, which depicts the horns of the goddess cradling a disk representing the sun in between.

====Name origin====
Volcarona comes from ''volcano'' and {{wp|Corona}} both referencing its [[Fire type]] and its status as the Sun Pokémon.

'''Koffing''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ドガース''' ''Dogars'') is a {{type2|Poison}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolve]]s into {{p|Weezing}} starting at [[level]] 35.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Koffing is a round, purple {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} filled to the brim with toxic gases. Several crater-like protrusions on this Pokémon's body give it the resemblance of a naval mine. Koffing has a skull and cross-bones below its blissful face. Koffing has been considered to be related to {{p|Grimer}}, who is also a purple {{t|Poison}}-type Pokémon that associates with pollutants. Koffing may also be related to {{p|Drifloon}}, who is also a floating, round, purple, "X"-bearing Pokémon with a tendency to explode.
====Gender differences====
None.

====Special abilities====
Koffing spews out poisonous gases whenever it gets upset. Koffing on the other hand exhales fresh, clean gases whenever it becomes happy or overjoyed. Although Koffing's gas is more commonly attributed as being poisonous, the gases may also cause coughs, sniffles, and teary eyes. Koffing has also been known to explode from over inflating its body. Koffing is also capable of launching {{t|Fire}} and {{t|Electric}}al attacks.

===Behavior===
If Koffing becomes agitated, it raises the toxicity of its internal gases and then jets them out from all over its body. Koffing is prone to overinflating its round body before it {{M|Selfdestruct|self-destructs}}. The higher the temperature, the more gas Koffing concocts.

Koffing is known to float in the air. This is because its body is filled with a gas that is slightly lighter than air. The gas is a combination of the vapors from fermenting trash and Koffing’s own poisonous fumes.
===Habitat===
[[Image:Urban.gif|right|frame|[[List of Pokémon by habitat#Urban Pokémon|Urban Pokémon]]]]
Koffing are a very common sight around burned down buildings, abandoned buildings and power plants. Volcanoes also provide a suitable habitat for them. It is common in [[Kanto]], [[Johto]], [[Hoenn]], but seldom encountered in [[Sinnoh]].

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

Koffing mainly eat rotten kitchen garbage.

==In the anime==
[[File:James Koffing.png|right|thumb|Koffing in the anime]]
===Major Appearances===
====[[James's Weezing|James's Koffing]]====

In ''[[DP050|Tag! We're It...!]]'', {{an|Dawn}} and [[Conway]] battled against a trainer who used a Koffing, alongside his partner who used a {{p|Scyther}}. The Koffing had several powerful attacks like {{m|Sludge Bomb}}, {{m|Thunderbolt}}, and {{m|Gyro Ball}}, but Conway's {{p|Slowking}} and [[Dawn's Piplup]] were able to defeat it.

==In the manga==
===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
Koffing is seen as one of [[Koga]]'s Pokémon alongside {{p|Weezing|its evolution}}. When Koga and {{adv|Blue}} are ambushed by [[Agatha]]'s {{p|Gengar}} in {{PAV|7}}, Koga uses Koffing's smoke to relay his tactical plan to Blue without Gengar noticing.

Much later, [[Petrel]], one of the [[Rocket Executive]]s, attacked {{adv|Silver}} and [[Eusine]] using the horrible odor induced by his many Koffing.

==In the TCG==
{{main|Koffing (TCG)}}
==Other apperances==

|stadium2dex=Its thin, flimsy body is filled with gases that cause constant sniffles, coughs and teary eyes.

==Trivia==
* Koffing is the mascot of [[Smogon]], [[Dogasu's Backpack]], [[Pokemopolis]], and Azure Heights.
* Koffing and Weezing are the the only pure Poison-type Pokémon immune to {{type2|Ground}} attacks, due to their ability, {{a|Levitate}}.
* Koffing's original English name was going to be "Ny", representing New York City's polluted air.
**This would have made it, and its evolution, the Pokémon with the shortest English name. As of [[Generation IV]], that honor is held by {{p|Muk}} and {{p|Mew}}, both of which were also introduced in [[Generation I]].
* Koffing was depicted as having its skull-and-crossbones pattern being ''above'' its face in {{game|Red and Blue|s}} and the Japanese [[Pokémon Blue Version (Japanese)|Pokémon Blue]], rather than the pattern being ''under'' its face as portrayed in the original versions of {{game|Red and Green|s}} and every game that came after Red and Blue and the Japanese Blue. It is unknown if this was purposely done or if it was a sprite error (similar to the error of {{p|Raikou}}'s sprite in {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}).
* According to a question of a Pokémon Exam the characters of the anime participated in, Koffing was supposedly first discovered in a public bathhouse. However, the {{TCG|Team Rocket}} expansion's {{TCG ID|Team Rocket|Koffing|58}} card states that Koffing was first discovered in a weapons factory. This may be either because [[Jessie]] answered the question incorrectly, or due to an inconsistency between the TCG and anime.
* Despite Koffing's diet of rotten garbage, it is unable to learn {{m|Gunk Shot}}, which involves spewing garbage at the foe.
* Koffing's entire body is seen in its backsprites of [[Generation II]] and [[Generation III]].
** Aside from the smoke, these sprites are identical.

===Origin===
Considering its looks, its ability to float, and its tendency to explode, it may have been based upon a floating {{wp|naval mine}}. It is also based on smog and other forms of air pollution.

====Name origin====
Koffing's name is a corruption of the word ''coughing''. Its Japanese name is a combination of 獰 ''dō'', meaning bad, or 毒 ''doku'', meaning poisonous, and ''{{wp|gas}}''. Its Japanese name also could come from the Brazilian expression ''droga'', wich means something bad, rotten.

==In other languages==
*[[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Smogon - Based on the loanword ''{{wp|Smog}}'', which has the same meaning in German.
*[[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Smogo - Based on the English word ''{{wp|smog}}''.
*[[List of Korean Pokémon names|Korean]]: 또가스 ''Ttogaseu''
*[[List of Chinese Pokémon names|Chinese (Taiwan)]]: 瓦斯彈 ''Wǎ Sī Dàn'' - "Gas bomb".

The '''Nimbasa Gym''' (Japanese: '''ライモンジム''' ''Raimon Gym'') is the official [[gym]] of [[Nimbasa City]]. It is based on {{type2|Electric}} [[Pokémon]]. The [[Gym Leader]] is [[Kamitsure]]. {{pkmn|Trainer}}s who defeat her receive the {{badge|Bolt}}.

==In the games==

The Nimbasa Gym is designed like an amusement park, filled with brightly colored neon lights, floating stars and {{wp|roller coaster}}s. Upon entering the Gym, there is a huge open room, filled with transparent platforms. The roller coasters with in the Gym are scattered around the room, all connected by platforms. The player must find their way around the Gym by walking into the roller coasters cars, in which they are then taken to the next platform. Within several of them, Trainers are hiding, and when the player opens the cars, the Trainer will engage the player in battle. Also, there are several switches around the Gym; these redirect the path of the roller coasters, but many are guarded by Trainers. The final roller coaster slightly differs from the others, featuring a large loop-the-loop, and partially speeds up after a slope before the loop-the-loop.

After navigating through the roller coasters, the player will meet Kamitsure. She stands on a transparent platform just like the other platforms, which has the Unova Gym logo on it. Behind her is a large circular spinning wheel, but it is just for show, and cannot be interacted with. Once the player has defeated Kamitsure, a short-cut to the exit of the Gym is available to the left of her.

===Rewards===

{{Itlistfoot|electric}}


==Trivia==
* Interestingly, Nimbasa Gym is the the first gym where [[Gym Leader]]'s reward is the lowest compared to the other [[Pokémon Trainer]]s present in their gym. This is probably due to the fact that the Trainers are {{tc|Rich Boy}}s and {{tc|Lady|Ladies}}, who give a higher payout than most other Trainers.
* Due to [[List of minor glitches#Nimbasa Gym Trainer glitch|a glitch]], if the player loses to {{tc|Lady}} Colette while directly facing her when encountered, when the player comes back in she will be standing on the same spot and will battle the player. After she is defeated, she still remains on the tracks of the roller coaster, and can be passed through while riding the roller coaster to [[Kamitsure]].
* All of the Trainers have only Emolga and Blitzle's evolutionary chains, despite Shibisirasu, Maggyo, and Bachuru's lines existing.
** This may be because Maggyo and Shibisirasu are based on fish, and Bachuru is based on a bug.

===Rewards===
After [[Kamitsure]] is defeated, she will give the player the {{badge|Bolt}} and {{TM|72|Volt Change}}.

==Trivia==
* Interestingly, Nimbasa Gym is the the first gym where [[Gym Leader]]'s reward is the lowest compared to the other [[Pokémon Trainer]]s present in their gym. This is probably due to the fact that the Trainers are {{tc|Rich Boy}}s and {{tc|Lady|Ladies}}, who give a higher payout than most other Trainers.
* Due to [[List of minor glitches#Nimbasa Gym Trainer glitch|a glitch]], if the player loses to {{tc|Lady}} Colette while directly facing her when encountered, when the player comes back in she will be standing on the same spot and will battle the player. After she is defeated, she still remains on the tracks of the roller coaster, and can be passed through while riding the roller coaster to [[Kamitsure]].
* All of the Trainers have only Emolga and Blitzle's evolutionary chains, despite Shibisirasu, Maggyo, and Bachuru's lines existing.
** This may be because Maggyo and Shibisirasu being based on fish, and Bachuru being based on a bug.

Human-Like (Egg Group)

2011-02-13T21:27:30Z

Eddiefiv: /* Characteristics */

{{EggGroups}}
The '''Humanshape egg group''' (Japanese: '''ひとがた''' ''Human-shaped'') is one of the fifteen [[egg group]]s.

==Characteristics==
Pokémon in this egg group, as the name implies, have similar characteristics to [[human]]s. They are fully bipedal, standing and walking on two legs. They also possess arms with which they could manipulate objects or deliver blows.

It's also worth noting that several families that belong to this egg group have received a [[Baby Pokémon|pre-evolution]], either in a later generation or, in the case of {{p|Lucario}}, at the same time. There are also several families that are predominantly male. Most Pokémon within this egg group are exclusive to it. There are currently only three other combinations with other egg groups.

==Trivia==
*The majority of members of this egg group are either of the {{t|Psychic}}- or {{type2|Fighting}}.
*Before Generation III, all members of this group were exclusive to it.
*This egg group shares the same species name with {{p|Jynx}}. It should be noted that Jynx is also a humanoid, which explains why it is in this group.
*{{p|Hitmontop}} is the only [[Generation II]] Pokémon in this egg group.

:''For the Japanese opening theme, see [[The Rivals]].''
----
[[File:Rival artwork.png|thumb|right|{{ga|Red}}'s first battle against his rival {{ga|Blue}}]]
A '''rival''' (Japanese: '''ライバル''' ''rival'') is one of the main characters in the Pokémon [[games]] that is well known to the [[protagonist]] and has similar skills, goals and achievements. Rival characters appear frequently during the hero's quest, having a role in several of the games' events, and often challenges him or her in {{pkmn|battle}}s. Defeating a rival may be a primary or necessary goal of said character.

==In the games==
In the [[Version|main series]], a rival is a recurring opponent to the {{player}} throughout the game. This class of characters has appeared beginning in [[Generation I]], and in every main series game since. Typically, rivals will be met by the player early in the game, usually around the time the player receives their [[starter Pokémon]]. In most games, the rival will also obtain a starter Pokémon, and will usually participate in the player's first [[Pokémon battle]] against a Trainer. From then on, rivals will appear frequently throughout the player's journey, always being one step ahead of the player as the player moves through the region, meeting and battling the player at various points in the game with a progressively stronger and diversified [[party]]. Usually they must be defeated in order to continue the game; the most important of these battles happening either right before or during the player's challenge to the [[Elite Four]]. After the defeat of the [[Elite Four]] and the [[Pokémon Champion]], the rival can usually be battled at the player's leisure, but only at certain times with increasingly powerful Pokémon. More often than not, they will have the starter Pokémon of their home region that weakens the one the player chose at the beginning of the game, though [[Wally]], {{ga|Bianca}}, and {{ga|Blue}} in {{game|Yellow}} are exceptions.

The following are the characters considered to be rivals in the games. It should be noted, though, that only {{ga|Blue}} and {{ga|Silver}} have ever received the ''Rival'' [[trainer class]]; all others have been referred to as ''[[Pokémon Trainer]]s''. Additionally, for one battle in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, Blue is referred to as "Champion Blue".

[[File:Ash and Paul.png|thumb|250px|Ash and his rival Paul]]
Various rivals for the {{Ashfr|main characters}} have also appeared in the {{pkmn|anime}}.
*{{Ash}} has had [[Gary Oak]], [[Paul]], {{an|Barry}}, and [[Trip]] as his major rivals. Minor rivals include [[Nando]] and [[Conway]], who, while they battled Ash more than once across an entire saga, have a smaller role than the other four. Many other characters also collect badges and may be counted as rivals in the future.
*{{an|May}} has [[Drew]], [[Harley]], and [[Solidad]].
*{{an|Dawn}} has [[Zoey]], {{si|Kenny}}, [[Ursula]], and [[Jessie|Jessilina]]. A minor rival included [[Nando]].
*[[Johanna]] had a childhood rivalry with [[Lila]].
*{{an|Brock}} had a friendly (and short-lived) rivalry with [[Suzy]].
*[[Jessie]] and [[James]] have a rivalry with [[Cassidy]] and [[Butch]], respectively.

==In the manga==
===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
{{cleanup|section}}
In [[Pokémon Adventures]], {{adv|Red}}'s first rivalry blossomed when, just as their game counterparts did, he and {{adv|Blue}} were each given the first two [[Pokédex]], as well as starter Pokémon to compliment their already growing parties (somewhat unlike in the games). Red received [[Saur|Bulbasaur]], while Blue acquired the starter that weakens his, and both times his [[Blue's Charizard|Charmander]] evolved before Red's. As would become a tradition in the manga, {{adv|Green}}, hearing of these two fellow [[Pallet Town]] Trainers' big send offs on journeys, stole a [[Blasty|Squirtle]] (weakened by Red's) and proved to be a somewhat irritating obstacle for Red at times, stealing two of his badges and shrewdly taking his {{evostone|Moon Stone}} for later use before using the boy as a pawn to gather the seven known badges at the time to create [[Zapmolcuno]] (not knowing at the time that it would create a three-headed bird monster, a kind which she fears above all else). She also competed in the [[Pokémon League]] after Red's excursions in the [[Viridian Gym]] against [[Giovanni]], as well as his capture of {{adv|Mewtwo}}. She finally faced the then-disguised [[Professor Oak|Professor]] in the semi-finals, but after her phobia of bird Pokémon was exploited, she lost, and after Oak's forfeit, Red defeated his rival in the final match.

{{adv|Yellow}}, who took over as the protagonist two years later, had no real rival, but as both she and [[Lance]] of the [[Elite Four]] had the psychic healing powers of [[Viridian Forest]], he would most closely match this description.

One year later, the tradition of the rival character acquiring a starter that weakens the protagonist's would again be revisited when {{adv|Silver}} steals his [[Silver's Feraligatr|Totodile]] while {{adv|Gold}} took a [[Exbo|Cyndaquil]]. Once again, the rival would evolve his starter before the boy when his Totodile became a {{p|Croconaw}} before Gold's evolved to {{p|Quilava}}, but after they were horribly defeated and narrowly saved by {{p|Entei}}, they would fall into a coma lasting for several weeks, during which a third protagonist, {{adv|Crystal}}, is given a {{p|Chikorita}}, the last remaining starter (along with the final Pokédex), and it too evolved to a {{p|Bayleef}}. The three then were reunited in the [[Whirl Islands]], and evolved to the final stages simultaneously.

Years after the [[Masked Man]]'s defeat, {{adv|Ruby}} and {{adv|Sapphire}} would be given opposite starters, but unlike before (possibly attributed to the fact that Sapphire is female), Ruby would now acquire a [[Zuzu|Mudkip]] and Sapphire would be given the disadvantaged [[Toro|Torchic]]. Both evolved to their final stage similarly, though again the rival of the main playable character, Ruby, would evolve hers first both times.

Ironically, {{p|Treecko|the Grass-type starter}} would again meet the fate of being partnered after its chums when it at last becomes {{p|Grovyle}} with [[Wally]], and is revealed to have been smuggled into the [[Battle Frontier (Generation III)#Battle Factory|Battle Factory]] after evolving to its [[Emerald's Sceptile|final stage]] in the wild. As originally intended, it ended up with {{adv|Emerald}}.

The protagonists for the {{chap|Diamond & Pearl}} received the same type starters as the RGB seniors years before, when {{adv|Diamond}} (based on {{ga|Lucas}}) ended up with a [[Wig|Turtwig]], {{adv|Pearl}} (based on the rival character) with a [[Chimhiko|Chimchar]], and {{adv|Platinum}} (based on {{ga|Dawn}}) was given a [[Platinum's Empoleon|Piplup]]. However, unlike the first protagonists, their starters evolved almost exactly at the same time, with Diamond and Pearl's starters evolving simultaneously both times.

==Trivia==
[[File:Ash Trip.png|thumb|235px|right|Ash and his rival Trip]]
* Ash has at least one species of Pokémon each of his major rivals own. Gary captured a {{p|Krabby}}, Paul uses a {{p|Torterra}} and {{p|Gliscor}}, Barry uses a {{p|Staraptor}} and {{p|Heracross}}, and [[Trip]] uses a {{p|Janovy}}.
* Ash also has at least one species of Pokémon that some of his minor rivals own. [[Ritchie]] owns a Pikachu, Charmeleon and a Taillow while [[Morrison]] owns a Gligar and [[Tyson]] owns a Sceptile and a Donphan.
* Almost all of the rivals in the games are from the protagonist's hometown. Only Silver and Wally come from other places, with Silver's hometown being unknown and Wally hailing from Petalburg City.
* Brendan and May are the only rivals who can also be player characters.

{{adv|Yellow}}, who took over as the protagonist two years later, had no real rival, but as both she and [[Lance]] of the [[Elite Four]] had the psychic healing powers of [[Viridian Forest]], he would most closely match this description.

One year later, the tradition of the rival character acquiring a starter that weakens the protagonist's would again be revisited when {{adv|Silver}} steals his [[Silver's Feraligatr|Totodile]] while {{adv|Gold}} took a [[Exbo|Cyndaquil]]. Once again, the rival would evolve his starter before the boy when his Totodile became a {{p|Croconaw}} before Gold's evolved to {{p|Quilava}}, but after they were horribly defeated and narrowly saved by {{p|Entei}}, they would fall into a coma lasting for several weeks, during which a third protagonist, {{adv|Crystal}}, is given a {{p|Chikorita}}, the last remaining starter (along with the final Pokédex), and it too evolved to a {{p|Bayleef}}. The three then were reunited in the [[Whirl Islands]], and evolved to the final stages simultaneously.

Years after the [[Masked Man]]'s defeat, {{adv|Ruby}} and {{adv|Sapphire}} would be given opposite starters, but unlike before (possibly attributed to the fact that Sapphire is female), Ruby would now acquire a [[Zuzu|Mudkip]] and Sapphire would be given the disadvantaged [[Toro|Torchic]]. Both evolved to their final stage similarly, though again the rival of the main playable character, Ruby, would evolve hers first both times.

Ironically, {{p|Treecko|the Grass-type starter}} would again meet the fate of being partnered after its chums when it at last becomes {{p|Grovyle}} with [[Wally]], and is revealed to have been smuggled into the [[Battle Frontier (Generation III)#Battle Factory|Battle Factory]] after evolving to its [[Emerald's Sceptile|final stage]] in the wild. As originally intended, it ended up with {{adv|Emerald}}.

The protagonists for the {{chap|Diamond & Pearl}} received the same type starters as the RGB seniors years before, when {{adv|Diamond}} (based on {{ga|Lucas}}) ended up with a [[Wig|Turtwig]], {{adv|Pearl}} (based on the rival character) with a [[Chimhiko|Chimchar]], and {{adv|Platinum}} (based on {{ga|Dawn}}) was given a [[Platinum's Empoleon|Piplup]]. However, unlike the first protagonists, their starters evolved almost exactly at the same time, with Diamond and Pearl's starters evolving simultaneously both times.

==Trivia==
[[File:Ash Trip.png|thumb|235px|right|Ash and his rival Trip]]
* Ash has at least one species of Pokémon each of his major rivals own. Gary captured a {{p|Krabby}}, Paul uses a {{p|Torterra}} and {{p|Gliscor}}, Barry uses a {{p|Staraptor}} and {{p|Heracross}}, and [[Trip]] uses a {{p|Janovy}}.
* Ash also has at least one species of Pokémon that some of his minor rivals own. [[Ritchie]] owns a Pikachu, Charmeleon and a Taillow while [[Morrison]] owns a Gligar and [[Tyson]] owns a Sceptile and a Donphan.
* Almost all of the rivals in the games are from the protagonist's hometown. Only Silver and Wally come from other places, with Silver's hometown being unknown and Wally hailing from Petalburg City.
* Brenden and May are the only rivals who can also be player characters.

'''Dawn's Mamoswine''' (Japanese: '''ヒカリのマンムー''' ''Hikari's Mammoo'') was the fourth [[Pokémon]] {{pkmn2|caught|captured}} by {{an|Dawn}} in the {{pkmn|anime}}, and her sixth Pokémon in all.

==History==
[[Image:DP084.png|As a {{p|Swinub}}|thumb|200px|left]]
Mamoswine's debut was in ''[[DP084|Hungry for the Good Life!]]'' as a hungry Swinub. It appeared at [[Mr. Backlot]]'s mansion from a nearby forest. It caused trouble by devouring all of Dawn's [[Poffin]]s, much to the displeasure of Dawn's other {{DL|Dawn (anime)|Pokémon}}. However, after helping take down [[Team Rocket]] and rescue the other Pokémon, Dawn decided she wanted Swinub to go with her. It had a very cheerful, happy personality and would often jump up and down in excitement.

While still a Swinub, it was not used very much due to its relative lack of battling and contest experience. In ''[[DP095|Battling The Generation Gap!]]'', Swinub watched its first {{pkmn|Contest}} when it saw Dawn, {{TP|Dawn|Buneary}} and {{TP|Dawn|Ambipom}} work together to win the [[Celestic Town]] {{pkmn|Contest}}. Swinub evolved into Piloswine in ''[[DP104|Sleepless In Pre-Battle!]]'' in a {{pkmn|battle}} against Team Rocket. After evolving Piloswine was initially still very affectionate towards Dawn, as seen in ''[[DP105|Get Your Rotom Running!]]'' where it tackled her to the ground out of affection. This affection would be short lived, however.

Its personality drastically changed in ''[[DP106|A Breed Stampede!]]''. Just two episodes after evolving, Piloswine started to develop an indifference towards Dawn and became prone to disobedience. Knowing numerous powerful attacks, Piloswine felt much stronger and more confident than it did as a Swinub. It felt that it wasn't weak and was very powerful. On numerous occasions it tried to attack Dawn or her Pokémon. It attacked {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}} for touching its fur presumptuously, and tried to attack Dawn with {{m|Ice Shard}}, instead freezing half the body of {{AP|Grotle}} who tried to stop it from rampaging. Dawn agreed to have a battle with her Piloswine and Grotle. However, it ignored Dawn's commands and used {{m|AncientPower}} instead.

It later evolved again into {{p|Mamoswine}} after being attacked by Team Rocket. Unfortunately, it has kept its bad behavior from when it was a Piloswine. Despite this, Dawn is still eager to train Mamoswine well.
[[Image:Piloswine.png|As a {{p|Piloswine}}|thumb|200px|right]]
In battle, {{P|Mamoswine}} had shown to be incredibly powerful thanks to its large and powerful physique. It was shown to take {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}}'s {{m|BubbleBeam}}, {{m|Whirlpool}} ''and'' {{m|Peck}} in quick succession with no resistance at all as well as knocking it out for the third time in ''[[DP106|A Breed Stampede!]]''.

Mamoswine wasn't interested to watch Dawn in contests initially. Instead, it just slept with a pompom on its head. Later on, during Dawn's battle with [[Ursula]] in ''[[DP114|Another One Gabites the Dust!]]'', Mamoswine sparked an interest after seeing Dawn and {{TP|Dawn|Pachirisu}} use Pachirisu's {{m|Super Fang|new move}} to the fullest.
{{left clear}}

In ''[[DP119|Trials and Adulations!]]'', Mamoswine was injured during a battle against a {{pkmn2|wild}} {{p|Aggron}}. Dawn and her Pokémon used the first aid skills taught to her by Brock in ''[[DP094|Doc Brock!]]'' to help Mamoswine recover, and later attempted to protect Mamoswine against Team Rocket. As a result, Mamoswine gained respect for Dawn and under her instructions, it was able to defeat Aggron. From then on, Mamoswine still has a tiny bit of a rebellious attitude, but when Dawn is in danger it does not hesitate to help her.

In ''[[DP123|Old Rivals, New Tricks]]'', although it pretended not to be interested, Mamoswine helped {{TP|Dawn|Ambipom}} train for the upcoming [[Pokémon Ping Pong Tournament]]. Later during the contest it tried to sleep instead of cheerleading, as usual. Although when Ambipom started battling [[Kenny's Prinplup]], it started to watch and eventually got completely drawn into the excitement with wide eyes.

In ''[[DP134|Promoting Healthy Tangrowth!]]'', Dawn decided to train the Twin Tusk Pokémon for her upcoming Contest. All was going well until Mamoswine causes an accident and runs off into a jungle, angry and embarrassed, causing Dawn to go after it. A wild {{p|Tangrowth}} appears and attacks Mamoswine, defeating it with {{m|Absorb}}. Team Rocket later appears to cause havoc, and Mamoswine successfully learns {{m|Hidden Power}} in the process of attacking Team Rocket.

In ''[[DP146|Dressed for Jess Success!]]'', Dawn used Mamoswine in its first contest during the battle round of the {{to|Lilypad}} Contest. Earlier in the episode, Dawn taught it a trick that utilizes swallowing {{m|Ice Shard}} to create ice spikes on its back, inspired by {{AP|Grotle|Torterra}} swallowing its own {{m|Energy Ball}}. Unfortunately however, during the Contest battle against {{TP|James|Carnivine}}, it lost its temper and began rampaging out of control, resulting in a loss. However, Mamoswine was sadden by the loss, it was eager to begin training again.
[[File:Mamoswine Cyndaquil DP165.png|thumb|left|250px|Mamoswine and Cyndaquil's combination]]
In ''[[DP155|Double-Time Battle Training!]]'', Mamoswine was training to find its contest partner. It failed to sync with both {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}} and {{TP|Dawn|Pachirisu}}. It finally found its partner after it worked well with [[Dawn's Cyndaquil]] after a successful Flame-Ice. Though the new partners were defeated during their practice battle against [[Zoey]], after Zoey's {{p|Kirlia}} used {{m|Psychic}} to control her {{p|Leafeon}}'s {{m|Magical Leaf}}.

In ''[[DP162|Playing the Performance Encore!]]'', Mamoswine and Cyndaquil were used for the [[battle round]] of the {{town|Daybreak}} {{pkmn|Contest}}. The Flame-Ice combination was used by Dawn in the battle against her first foe's {{p|Houndoom}} and {{p|Mightyena}}, but it failed due to the ice melting. In the battle with [[Ursula]], Dawn started using both of Mamoswine and Cyndaquil's capabilities. Mamoswine swallowed Ice Shard which made the fur on Mamoswine's back and head freeze into large spears of ice which cause extra damage when {{m|Take Down}} is used. It was also used with the double contest battle against Ursula's Minun and Plusle when Cyndaquil used {{m|Swift}} to surround Mamoswine. Cyndaquil then turned the flame on its back on as the two charged for Ursula's {{p|Plusle}} and {{p|Minun}}. Despite Ursula losing some points, the move failed to hit the two Pokémon. After managing to work together to both attack and defend against Ursula's Pokémon's attacks, as well as mastering the Flame-Ice combo, Dawn managed to win the battle, earning her fifth ribbon.

In ''[[DP175|Opposites Interact!]]'', Mamoswine was used alongside {{TP|Dawn|Pachirisu}} in the first battle round of the Grand Festival against {{TP|Ursula|Gabite}} and {{p|Flareon}}. Despite a good start, Mamoswine and Pachirisu soon found themselves struggling and Mamoswine found itself overpowered by {{p|Flareon}}'s {{type2|Fire}} moves as well as a powerful {{m|Scary Face}} and {{m|Shadow Ball}}. However Pachirisu and Mamoswine were able to pull off Dawn's newest improvised move, ''Ice Chandelier'', despite Pachirisu having originally practiced with {{TP|Dawn|Buneary}}. As a result, both Gabite and Flareon were defeated.

Mamoswine's final appearance in the series came in ''[[DP186|Familiarity Breeds Strategy!]]'', where it was briefly seen helping [[Ash's Gliscor]] train its {{m|Giga Impact}}.

===Moves improvised===
*'''Swallowing Ice Shard''': By swallowing its own Ice Shard, Mamoswine can create ice spikes on its back.
*'''Flame Ice''' is a combination which was created by Mamoswine and Cyndaquil when they were training with Dawn in ''[[DP155|Double-Time Battle Training!]]''. It involves Cyndaquil being trapped by Mamoswine's Ice Shard while utilizing Flame Wheel. It was perfected in the battle against [[Ursula]] in ''[[DP162|Playing the Performance Encore!]]''.
*'''Ice Chandelier''' was used first used with Mamoswine in ''[[DP175|Opposites Interact!]]'', once again against Ursula. It involves Mamoswine using Ice Shard to trap {{TP|Dawn|Pachirisu}} in a ball of ice, after which it uses {{m|Discharge}}. Using {{m|AncientPower}} on it allows it to float while still under Pachirisu's control while {{m|Hidden Power}} adds power to the combination.

==Trivia==
* ''[[DP104|Sleepless In Pre-Battle]]'', the episode in which {{p|Swinub}} evolves into {{p|Piloswine}}, first aired in Japan in the same week that ''[[DP084|Hungry For the Good Life!]]'', the episode in which Swinub is captured, first aired in the United States. The same thing happened to [[Ash's Gliscor]] and Gligar.
* Mamoswine, as a Swinub, was the first capture Dawn made since {{TP|Dawn|Buizel}}, exactly [[DP034|50 episodes before]]. It is also her only capture in which she didn't {{pkmn|battle}} the Pokémon twice, or even at all.
* Mamoswine, as a Swinub, has some similarities with [[May's Munchlax]]: Mamoswine loves to eat mass quantities of [[Poffin]]; likewise, May's Munchlax enjoys mass quantities of [[Pokéblock]] (the [[Generation III]] counterpart of the Poffin).
* Mamoswine is similar to [[Ash's Charizard]] in several aspects. Both Pokémon began disobeying their respective trainers after evolution, only to begin following orders after each facing another Pokémon who severely injured them. However, Mamoswine took at least 13 episodes ([[DP106]]-[[DP119]]) to start obeying Dawn, while Charizard, not counting it's time as a Charmeleon, took a full ''59'' episodes ([[EP046]]-[[EP105]]) to start obeying Ash once again. It was also captured in an episode featuring a character sharing an English voice actress with {{jo|Liza}}, whom Ash left Charizard with.
* Mamoswine is Dawn's second evolved Pokémon, the first being {{TP|Dawn|Ambipom}}. Both are final forms of a [[Generation II]] evolution family. Coincidentally, both need to know a specific move to evolve.
* Mamoswine is the only Pokémon in the {{series|Diamond & Pearl}} to appear evolved in an opening prior to its actual evolution being shown.
* Both of Mamoswine's evolutions happened during a battle with [[Team Rocket]].
* Mamoswine is similar to Ash's Gliscor in a couple of ways. Both of them were their Trainer's fourth capture in Sinnoh, both are part of a {{cat|Generation II Pokémon|Generation II evolution family}} and are both [[Ground (type)|Ground]] types. They also sat out of exactly three Contests/Gym battles before finally participating.

'''Shuckle''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ツボツボ''' ''Tsubotsubo'') is a dual-type {{2t|Bug|Rock}} Pokémon introduced in [[Generation II]].

It is not known to evolve into or from any other Pokémon.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
[[File:Shuckle shell.png|thumb|left|250px|Shuckle in its shell]]
Shuckle bears resemblance to a small turtle. Shuckle is encased in a very hard red shell that has many holes in it. Its body inside the shell is yellow and presumably very soft. Shuckle's limbs appear limp till in use and are completely able.

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

====Special abilities====
Shuckle are well-known for having high defenses, surpassing all other Pokémon in both [[Defense|physical]] and [[Special Defense]]. Because of these high defenses, however, Shuckle's other stats are incredibly low, being either lowest or very near to lowest of all Pokémon.

In [[Generation II]], if a Shuckle is made to hold a standard [[Berry]], it will in time break down into [[Berry Juice]], which doubles its effectiveness. If held even longer, the Berry Juice will harden and turn into a [[Vitamin#Rare Candy|Rare candy]]. This functionality was removed from later Generations.

===Behavior===
Rather than actively hunting and foraging for food like most other {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, it tends to collect berries and store them in its shell. The berries inside are liquefied and fermented by the Shuckle's digestive juices, which are then consumed by the Shuckle. These juices are also used to dissolve rocks for the Shuckle to hide under.

===Habitat===
[[File:Mountain.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Mountain Pokémon}}]]
Shuckle tend to hide under rocks and fallen logs for long periods of time.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}
This Pokémon's main diet consists of berries, which it collects and stores in its shell. In {{game2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}, having a Shuckle hold a berry turns the berry into [[Drink|Berry Juice]], and it also eventually becomes a [[Vitamin#Rare_Candy|Rare Candy]].

==In the anime==
[[File:Shuckle anime.png|thumb|right|250px|Shuckle in the anime]]
===Major appearances===
In ''[[EP170|A Better Pill to Swallow]]'', [[Old Man Shuckle|an old man]] was using the Berry Juice that Shuckle makes to create medicine. One of the Shuckle that he befriended was a [[Shiny Pokémon|purple]] Shuckle whose Berry Juice attracted Pokémon to anyone who drank it. Because of this, [[Team Rocket]] made it their mission to steal it.

[[Butch]]'s Shuckle debuted in ''[[DP065|Sleight of Sand!]]''.

[[Conway]] used a Shuckle in his battle against {{Ash}} in ''[[DP185|Working on a Right Move!]]''.

===Minor appearances===
[[File:JessieWithShinyShuckle.png|thumb|right|200px|[[Jessie]] with a [[Shiny Pokémon|purple]] Shuckle]]
A Shuckle was one of the residents of [[Big Town]] in ''[[PK07|Pikachu & Pichu]]''.

A Shuckle also appeared in ''[[DP124|To Thine Own Pokémon Be True!]]''.

A Shuckle appeared in ''[[DP146|Dressed for Jess Success!]]''.

Another Shuckle appeared in ''[[DP155|Double-Time Battle Training!]]'' under the ownership of {{si|Rebecca}}.

A Shuckle made a brief cameo in [[SS024]], outside [[Professor Rowan]]'s lab.

===Pokédex entries===

{{Animedexbody|EP170|Shuckle|Ash's Pokédex|Shuckle, the Mold Pokémon. When Shuckle places organic materials in its husk-like shell, the items are transformed into a [[Drink#Berry_Juice|unique juice]]. Shuckle are naturally shy and are most often found hiding beneath rocks.}}

==In the manga==
===Pokémon Adventures===
Shuckle's major appearance is in {{PAV|23}}, under the control of [[Orm]]. Orm manages to use one Shuckle to control a huge swarm of Shuckle and hold {{adv|Blue}} down, but once Blue takes out the leader Shuckle, the entire group formation falls apart.

Another Shuckle was seen under [[Pike Queen Lucy]]'s command, where it showed off its fair deftness by poisoning {{adv|Emerald}}'s {{p|Starmie}} (as well as take a number of attacks) before being taken out by a {{m|Surf}} attack. She hasn't used it since.

==Trivia==
* Shuckle has the highest {{stat|Defense}} and {{stat|Special Defense}} stats [[List of Pokémon by base stats|of any Pokémon]], both of which can be a maximum of 614.
** Therefore, it has the highest Defense and Special Defense of both all Rock- and Bug-type Pokémon, along with the highest single base stat out of both types.
** After using {{m|Power Trick}}, Shuckle has the highest {{stat|Attack}} of any Pokémon with a max of 614 in it with beneficial [[nature]]s (to compare, {{p|Deoxys}}'s Attack form's maximum Attack stat is 504).
* Shuckle, along with {{p|Munchlax}}, has the lowest {{stat|Speed}} of all Pokémon.
* Shuckle, along with {{p|Feebas}} and {{p|Bonsly}}, has the lowest {{stat|Special Attack}} of all Pokémon.
* Shuckle couldn't learn any {{type|Bug}} moves before {{game|Platinum}}, despite having Bug as its primary type.
** Prior to [[Generation V]], Shuckle couldn't learn any {{type|Rock}} moves by level-up either, despite having Rock as its secondary type.
* Despite Shuckle being described as having limp, weak muscles, it is able to learn {{m|Strength}} and {{m|Rock Smash}}.
* In [[Generation II]] and the {{pkmn|anime}}, Shuckle's Shiny form is purple; however, in [[Generation IV]], [[Generation V]], and [[Generation III]], it is blue.
** Shuckle is one of the few Pokémon to have official art for its Shiny form.
** It can also be seen in a game at the Funzone on [[Pokémon.com]], with the correct URL.
* Shuckle can learn {{m|Knock Off}} as an [[egg move]], but it can't learn it through [[move tutor]].
* In [[Generation II]], Shuckle is the only Pokémon that can learn {{m|Sweet Scent}} by breeding.
* Despite being weak to {{type2|Water}} as well as not being able to use the move {{m|Surf}}, it appears in the sea in [[Pal Park]].
* A [[level]] 100 Shuckle can potentially deal the most damage in one single attack through the use of numerous stat boosters, by using {{m|Helping Hand}}, {{DL|In-battle effect item|Metronome}} held item, {{m|Power Trick}}, a {{m|Skill Swap}} to {{a|Pure Power}} or {{a|Huge Power}}, 6 Attack boosts, and the {{m|Defense Curl}}/{{m|Rollout}} combo. Also, Shuckle's partner must have the ability {{a|Flower Gift}} and the weather must be sunny. On the 5th impact of Rollout, if used against a level 1 {{p|Ledyba}} or {{p|Yanma}} that have been hit with negative Defense modifiers (such as {{m|Screech}}), it can deal 213,896,052 damage with a critical hit.
** If a level 100 Shuckle uses Power Trick, and is then skill swapped with Pure Power or Huge Power, it would obtain a maximum attack stat of 1228.
* Shuckle is the only fungi-based Pokémon that is not part {{type|Grass}}.

===Origin===
Shuckle seems to be based on an {{wp|endolith}}, an organism that lives inside porous rocks or animal shells or possibly an {{wp|abalone}}. {{wp|Fungi}}, also known as mold, are common endoliths; This explains why Shuckle is the mold Pokémon. It may also be based on {{wp|scale insect}}s – small, shelled parasites that produce a sweet fluid called {{wp|honeydew (secretion)|honeydew}} that attracts other insects. Shuckle may have been based on a variety of {{wp|mollusk}}s, as it shares some charactersitics with them. Some examples of the similar characteristics are the shell, muscular and limp-seeming feet, the use of acids to receive food or to break down obstacles, likes fermented foods, and both also live close to the water. It may also be based on {{wp|turtle}}s or {{wp|tortoise}}s.

====Name origin====
Shuckle may be derived from ''shuck'', a husk or pod, ''barnacle'', and possibly ''turtle''. Its Japanese name is a repetition of 壷 ''tsubo'', jar, or 富士壺 ''fujitsubo'', {{wp|barnacle}}.

==In other languages==
*[[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Pottrott - From ''Pott'' (a colloquial word for jar) and ''verrotten'' (to rot), referring to the fermentation of berries in its shell.
*[[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Caratroc - From ''carapace'' (shell) and ''troc'' (exchange), refering to its ability of transforming berries into berry juice.
*[[List of Korean Pokémon names|Korean]]: 단단지 ''Dandanji''
*[[List of Chinese Pokémon names|Chinese (Taiwan)]]: 壺壺 ''Hú Hú'' - From its Japanese name. Repetition of the character "壺" (kettle/pot/jar).

Hexagon Brothers

2011-02-06T00:26:48Z

Eddiefiv: /* Trivia */

The '''Hexagon Brothers''' are a team of six [[Cipher Peon]]s in {{Pokémon XD}}. They are named '''Resix''', '''Blusix''', '''Greesix''', '''Purpsix''', '''Yellosix''' and '''Browsix'''. They are dressed in the colors of their names, specialize in a different type of Pokémon, and have a [[Shadow Pokémon]] of the corresponding type. The types are {{t|Fire}}, {{t|Water}}, {{t|Grass}}, {{t|Poison}}, {{t|Electric}} and {{t|Ground}}, and the Shadow Pokémon are {{p|Houndour}}, {{p|Spheal}}, {{p|Seedot}}, {{p|Gulpin}}, {{p|Mareep}} and {{p|Baltoy}}, accordingly. They have their own motto, in which they count all of them. This adds humor to the game, as they always somehow mess up their counting (e.g. having the first person not count, or going around again after six). They appear at the [[Shadow Pokémon Laboratory]] and at [[Phenac City]] (disguised as the "[[Justy]] Gang").

==Trivia==
*Interestingly, their colors are the same as the colors of the TCG's original six {{TCG|Basic Energy card}}s, and each of their Pokémon falls into a TCG type represented by one of these types ({{TCG|Gulpin}}, however, being a {{type2|Poison}}, was a {{ct|Grass}} in the TCG before {{TCG|Diamond & Pearl}}).
* Resix's team after snagging and before beating the game gives only Special Attack [[effort values|EVs]]. Under the same conditions, Browsix's only provides HP EVs. This makes them among the few places to EV train in XD.
* Resix's [[Pokemon]] after beating the game have the two abilities that speed up the hatching process in the handheld games.

==Synopsis==
{{spoilers}}

===Prologue===
A mysterious {{pkmn|egg}} floats by in the ocean teeming with {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}. It glides along the water, going through a school of {{p|Remoraid}}, past a few {{p|Clamperl}}, {{p|Cloyster}}, and whatnot. The egg finally settles down as a group of {{p|Lanturn}} and {{p|Chinchou}} have a look. Suddenly the school of fish-like Pokémon swim away as spotlights shine upon the egg. Above the water, three helicopters hover low over the surface, scanning the egg. Confirmation of the "treasure" is relayed to a large submarine underwater; where aboard [[Captain Phantom]] of the Phantom Troop executes his plan to secure the egg. His {{p|Chatot}} flies onto the shoulder of the Captain's right-hand man, squawking the Captain's words.

Once the submarine gets close enough, a mechanical arm goes out to encase the egg in a glass case and brings it back. With the operation a success, Captain Phantom heads down to the room where the egg sits on a stand, still encased by the glass container. He marvels at his prize, and just before he could grab it, one of his pirates snatches it. Angered by the traitor, the Captain sends his men after him, but the mysterious traitor dodges their lunges. Escaping down a corridor, he is sandwiched at either end. Fortunately, there is a ladder on a vertical conveyor that he uses to escape. Getting to a higher floor, he jumps off the ladder, kicking the guardrail so that his pursuers can't find a way up without bumping their head on it. He makes a quick stop to the mess hall kitchen. While securing the egg in a carrying bag, he makes contact with his "mission coordinator", [[Judy]], to tell her he's secured the egg. But just as he was ending the transmission, the pirates found him and began surrounding him. The traitor makes his move by jumping on pots, landing in a way that they fly onto the heads of the others as he makes his escape. On his way out, he pours a sack of potatoes onto the floor to keep the ones behind him busy.

Finding his way outside, the traitor finds himself yet again chased down by the persistent crew of the submarine. He runs to the other side of the sub, jumping over a trapdoor that was opening to reveal Captain Phantom. The traitor reaches the bow of the submarine, finding himself trapped. The Captain releases a {{p|Pinsir}} and a {{p|Parasect}} and demands his name and threatens him to return the egg, otherwise his Pokémon will attack. The traitor introduces himself as [[Jack Walker|Jack "Jackie" Walker]]. He jumps up to the roof of the front part of the sub, just barely avoiding Pinsir's attack. At the very edge of the boat, he finds a few {{p|Mantine}} swimming about, feeling lucky they followed. Pulling out a [[Capture Styler]], he manages to catch a Mantine just before Captain Phantom makes his way on top. Phantom threatens Jackie to return the egg shortly before Jackie jumps off the boat, landing on the Mantine and escapes with it using {{m|Confuse Ray}} before {{m|Dive|diving}} into the ocean. Angry, Phantom tells Pinsir to use a {{m|Hyper Beam}} at the water, but by the time, Jackie swims off with the captured Mantine to safety.

===Opening title===
The opening title starts off zoomed in upon a molecule linked up to others, before zooming out to reveal a diamond. Then the camera flies by a lava stream, then to a stormy sky, before the sky clears to reveal an ocean. Diving down, it shows water molecules before coming towards the main title.

{{Ash}}, {{an|Brock}}, {{an|May}}, and [[Max]] are traveling down a bright road. It's very hot and everyone is sweaty, tired, and desperate to find shelter. But where they're traveling on is nothing more than a dirt road with an expansive grass field and just a tree here and there and Max's [[PokéNav]] can't get a signal from their current location. Max stops to ask May for some water as he ran out. May gives her thermos to Max, who finds out that it's empty as well. Both collapse in shock while Ash looks back. He sees a ball of water floating in the distance, and is a bit confused before he mentions "Water". Max and May both perk up to see before Max begins running off towards where the water ball's direction.

They come across what appears to be several water balls, with {{type2|Water}} Pokémon in them, and in the middle of it all stands a female teenager. Max goes up to her and asks if he can have some water, to which she gives permission. Max then goes to a nearby water ball and begins sucking some water from it, but a {{p|Gorebyss}} pokes Max away. The rest of the gang comes by, and the teenager asks who they are. {{ashfr|The gang}} introduce themselves, except Brock who takes a good look at her and finally declares out that the teenager is [[Lizabeth]]. Brock then pulls out his little book of women he admires, and then pulls up Lizabeth's page. He explains that Lizabeth and her family run an outside circus show with water Pokémon. {{AP|Pikachu}} wanders off a bit to find a {{p|Meditite}} and {{p|Medicham}} duo with a couple of {{p|Poliwag}} and a {{p|Poliwhirl}}. They greet Pikachu with the water Pokémon {{m|Water Gun|shooting some water out}} while the Meditite and Medicham use {{m|Psychic}} to form it into a Pikachu-shaped figure. The gang understands how the how the water balls are formed.

Several people soon come out of the trailer, wondering who Ash and company were. Lizabeth says that they're acquaintances and are just looking for some water. They all introduce themselves, the family of performers that runs the circus. The mother is [[Meredith]], the father is {{mov|Kyle}}, and the grandfather is [[Ship]]. They also have a clown who just joined them recently. May comments on how young Meredeth looks, thinking she was Lizabeth's older sister. Meredith laughs and accidentally smacks May on her head a little too hard as she does.

Inside the trailer, Max enjoys a glass of water he needed. Afterward, a friendly {{p|Buizel}} comes by to play with him for a bit. As the others discuss things, May notices the Buizel hopping up to a bunk bed, going up to the top bunk where a canister lays. It presses a button and it clears up, revealing the mysterious egg from before. May stares at it for a while before Kyle comes by and closes the curtain that was partially covering the bunk before excusing himself. To lighten up the mood, Lizabeth invites everyone to a free show they'll be performing in the next town. Everyone is happy to accept.

The show starts off with one large sphere of water being created, as a {{p|Seaking}} and {{p|Dewgong}} are let inside. Then the Meditite and Medicham then split the sphere into two, and soon Kyle and Meredith join in the act by diving in. Several more spheres are created with an assortment of Water Pokémon getting inside them. Lizabeth jumps in and rides the Dewgong to the top, clearing out and then jumping back in. Meanwhile, the clown walks around, wearing a {{p|Sharpedo}} get-up. As he's juggling a few balls, a group of {{p|Goldeen}} in small water spheres come near him. He uses the Sharpedo costume to "eat" the Goldeen, but then acts out as if he has indigestion and the Goldeen pop out on the other side. The gang was watching from the trailer nearby, and soon they were pushed into water spheres of their own, with everything combining into one. Then the Meditite and Medicham began surrounding the large water sphere with energy, before it exploded into steam, with the performing family and the gang at the bottom, and all the water Pokémon in their own bubbles, ending the show.

The Buizel was busy in the trailer, finding his way up to the bunk with the container. He takes a look at it again before it tips it over the edge. Grabbing it, he also tries to save himself before falling over onto the floor. He carries the container between the trailer and the circus-style decorated vehicle up front. May happens to be there when she spots Buizel, and sees the container once again. Up on the rooftops however, are [[Jessie]], [[James]], and {{MTR}} of [[Team Rocket]], spying on what the gang and the circus troupe were up to. James happens to notice the container only for a split moment until the clown comes by to take it away from Buizel, and then leaves without a word, giving it to Lizabeth who then puts it upon a shelf, and closes a curtain around it. Later as the troupe was packing, the gang was invited to travel with them to the next town.

Meanwhile, Jessie, James, and Meowth relax at a fountain, when Jessie and Meowth notice James looking at a "Team Rocket Magazine". James mentions he saw the circus crew having an object he found in the magazine. And then he finds the page with a picture of the Egg and Captain Phantom. They plan on following the trailer, and will eventually make their attack. After the troupe packs up, the gang is invited to ride along until the next town, since it's a mountainous region. They take the offer and are soon off. As they pass by, the Team Rocket trio hides out in an alley. James is attempting to make a call, but had to cut the line when they realize they can just hitchhike on the troupe's trailer.

That night, while everyone was asleep, Buizel walked about the trailer, finding the shelf where the container was. He climbed up and presses the button, revealing the egg once again. Moonlight shines through it and it begins to glow red. The light shines upon May, which creates dream of her being in an undersea world. Numerous water Pokémon swim by her before a mysterious one suddenly swims up to her. It was small, and looked very friendly and playful. Then up ahead, May could see what looked like an underwater palace surrounded by a bubble. The mysterious Pokémon soon swims past her and she screams out "Wait!". At that moment, she wakes up and also screams "Wait!". Lizabeth is sitting nearby wondering what happened before telling her good morning.

The trailer has stopped at a nearby river in a mountainous region, stopping for a late breakfast. A table is set up outside near the river and they enjoy their meal of Italian dishes. During the meal May talks about her mysterious dream last night, mentioning seeing a Pokémon she never saw before and a strange palace under the sea. Mysterious as it sounded to Ash and the others, the circus crew seemed to act out as if it was mysterious too, that is until Lizabeth and Minamo said that they had the same dream, and it's related to a legend, but Ship tells them to not tell right now. As they begin packing up after the meal, Jessie, James, and Meowth make their move. Jessie successfully finds the egg after looking around in the trailer. But as they gather to get a closer look, the egg begins to glow. A red lightning trails out and passes through each of their heads. When the odd experience ends, they begin freaking out. Jessie is now Meowth, Meowth is now James, and James is now Jessie!

They continue to freak out about the swapping of minds until everyone comes back from their meal. They spot the Team Rocket members just as they leave. They begin to recite their {{motto}}, but end with a feeling that it doesn't feel right since their bodies are switched. They make a run for it with the egg with Ash following them. But before Ash can reach the Rockets; they escape to a [[Transport in Pokémon|balloon]], with a cycle driven propeller. They make their get away and Ash was about to have Pikachu take them down with {{m|Thunderbolt}}, but the clown suddenly comes up telling him to stop. If the balloon blows up, it'll damage the egg. He takes out a Capture Styler from his pocket and finds a nearby {{p|Fearow}}. He uses it to catch the Fearow to pursue Team Rocket. Just as Fearow takes off, Pikachu hops on Fearow's back and the two Pokémon soon catch up. Pikachu lands on the cycling mechanism in front and begins sparking up. Then it snags the egg and drops down, landing on Fearow. The bird Pokémon then flies up, threatening to poke the balloon as the Rockets panic, wanting the James Meowth to do something but he can't, and the Fearow {{m|peck}}s at the balloon, sending the Rockets away.

Fearow delivers Pikachu back to Ash, with May, Max, Brock, and Lizabeth nearby. Lizabeth takes the case with the egg away before the clown shows up. Ash recognized the Capture Styler he used, and concludes he must be a {{ga|Pokémon Ranger}}. The clown nods before taking off his disguise to reveal that was Jackie. Jackie shows the gang the egg when things finally settle down, but his cover was compromised, as Team Rocket figured out about the egg. But just as they were about to head back, several helicopters begin to show up on the horizon. And upon closer inspection, those helicopters bore the Phantom Troop's insignia. Jackie warns them of who they are and begins to make a run for it in a rocky path. Captain Phantom releases two {{p|Beedrill}} to chase after them, and soon the gang is making an attempt to run. They split up in order to split their pursuers up, with Ash following Jackie, and Max, May, Brock, and Lizabeth taking another route. Along the path Ash and Jackie take, Captain Phantom jumps down from his chopper and proceeds to chase after them. At some point, Jackie covers the egg container with a towel and along with Ash, goes behind a rock just before the Captain could make it. Jackie is seen running off with the towel, and the Captain begins chasing after him. But Ash sneaks off in the other direction with the egg.

Meanwhile Max and May split up from Brock and Lizabeth. Eventually Max and May cross paths with Ash, only to find that the Captain's right hand man was right behind them with a Beedrill. The Beedrill attacks with {{m|Pin Missile}}, Pikachu countering with Thunderbolt. Then the three try to escape, but Beedrill uses {{m|Sludge Bomb}} to block their path. Ash decides to stay behind to take care of the Beedrill, while May and Max run off with the egg. Meanwhile, Captain Phantom manages to catch up with Jackie, only to have Jackie reveal that what he was carrying was a pair of juggling balls. He throws one at Phantom, in which he smacks it towards a nearby cliff wall. The ball simply bounces back and smacks Phantom in his face. Taking advantage of the odd but fortunate turn of things, Jackie runs off, jumping on a boulder. But somehow Phantom begins picking it up, and tosses it. Jackie jumps off however, but the Captain isn't interested in him anymore and begins searching for the egg.

Max and May find themselves at split in their path, hoping that everyone is okay. Suddenly the Captain appears from behind and tries to pry the egg container from May's hands. As May struggles to keep a grip, Max jumps on Phantom, stretching out his mouth. But Phantom was pulling on the lid, and soon it popped off, sending the egg flying. May drops the container and dives in to catch the egg. Ash manages to catch up at this point, but the egg begins to shine a red light! Then the entire egg glows white before two antennae come out, and when the glow fades away, {{mov|Manaphy|Manaphy|9}} is finally born. It opens its eyes to see May, but begins crying. May tries to calm the newly born Manaphy while the Captain is disappointed that something like Manaphy was the treasure he was looking for. But even so, he's not about to give up that easily and begins to make his move. Jackie comes in time to keep Phantom busy enough for Ash, May, and Max to escape. Jackie follows shortly afterwards and the four find the trailer (which Brock and Lizabeth managed to get back to beforehand). Jackie stays behind as the others get on to ambush Phantom to delay him once more.

The trailer takes off, leaving everyone to wonder about Manaphy. It slept in May's lap, happy and peacefully. Meredith wanted to try holding it, but as soon as she held it, Manaphy began crying. After Meredith gave Manaphy back to May, it stopped crying and was happy once again. They begin to wonder if Manaphy has imprinted May as its mother, considering that it was the first thing it saw. However, Phantom is once more on their tail, and two helicopters launch grappling rods to keep themselves affixed, and also to slow the trailer down. Ship comes in from the front car, telling the others inside to get in. Meredith first goes in; helping May so she doesn't fall. Brock then steps out to help Lizabeth, followed by Max and Ash. Ship gets out last as he unlatches the trailer. This sends the helicopters flying backwards, momentarily losing control as the trailer careens off a cliff. The choppers manage to cut their grappling lines and regain control.

Meanwhile, Jessie, James, and Meowth wake up from after crashing. They find themselves on top of a ruin. Jessie mentions having a weird "dream" that she was Meowth; the Meowth mentions that he was James, and James mentions he was Jessie. They suddenly realize that it wasn't a dream and that Pokémon egg must've done something. The find {{TP|Jessie|Wobbuffet}} and {{TP|James|Mime Jr.}} standing on the edge, "agreeing" with the weird occurrences that happened. But they soon see the circus crew pulling up to the ruin. After everyone gets out, the Phantom Troop soon arrives. Jessie, James, and Meowth decide to try to get Phantom to "recruit" them so that they can let Phantom do all the work in getting the egg, and they'll steal it at an opportune time.

The gang heads down into to ruins, deeper until they reach what appears to be a dead end. Ship however holds his bracelet of seashells near a gem in the end wall. It glows to resemble a combination lock. He slides it to the right combination and a door opens up. Kai asks everyone if they have water Pokémon, since they'll be traveling down a canal. A few minutes later, Phantom steps down into the ruins, coming across the same dead end. However Phantom knows of this somehow and he pulls out a similar bracelet from his pocket. To his disappointment however, he comes across the canal, but there's no way for him to go. Getting back to the surface, Phantom finds the Rocket Trio washing his helicopter. After asking what they were doing and wanted, Jessie, James, and Meowth offer their cleaning services to Phantom, to which he promptly refuses. However, with stubbornness, the Rockets get to go along with Phantom as cleaners.

As the gang swims down the canal, Manaphy is enjoying its time in the water. They soon come up to another wall, in which is decorated with murals that tell a legend. Ship explains that there was once Ocean Temple named [[Samiya]] where water Pokémon and "people of water" had resided, and where a "King of the Sea" lived. However, evil spirits began invading, and so the king used his power to protect the temple, he encased it in a bubble and took it below the ocean. However normally it cannot be seen, but when its time for the "Prince of the Sea" to return, the moon will glow red for a brief period and Samiya will be visible. But there's a time limit once the Prince is born to return. Manaphy is this "Prince of the Sea", and so Ship plans on leading them to a port town, where he'll have a boat waiting to take Manaphy to Samiya.

Meanwhile, Phantom tries to find a possible idea to where the gang could've gone. But as his right hand man attempts to map out the route, the canal suddenly branches off into many different paths. They'll just have to spend their time finding out where they've gone.

The gang reaches a port town, where they wait for a while as Ship's boat comes along. They take a moment to rest and enjoy ice cream. Manaphy is now asleep in a bassinet, probably tired after all the swimming. Ship quickly finishes his cone as he spots his ship coming in, and warns the others that it's arrived. At the port, three of Ship's old shipmates [[Gabu]], [[Dabu]], and [[Sabu]] step out to greet their old friend, and they want to go with Ship on the expedition to Samiya (though he doesn't tell them that specifically). Ship of course introduces the gang to his old shipmates, as he used to be an avid adventurer of the seas in his boat Blue Lagoon. However, Ship only takes his family, Jackie, and Manaphy along. May is upset at this, but she knows that it's for the better that Manaphy gets released. Gabu, Dabu, and Zabu though encourage May to stop them so she could get on, and Ash, not willing to put off an adventure like this, also joins in with May to stop the boat.

Manaphy on board soon wakes up and Jackie tries to comfort it. But it soon shoots out a red lighting that hits Jackie, and then trails down into the ocean back to the port. It travels towards Ash and May, and then suddenly Ash gets his foot caught by the lightning. Then, Jackie and Ash switch bodies, leaving them confused. Manaphy is happy though to see the Jackie Ash, but the real Jackie continues running towards the end of the port.

Later on, the gang gets on the boat, Jackie and Ash exchanging comments about that weird experience they just had. Jackie however says that this is one of Manaphy's powers, {{m|Heart Swap}}. Ship then tells May that Manaphy is referred to as the Prince of the Sea. May asks Manaphy if the reason he switched Ash and Jackie was so they wouldn't leave without her. Manaphy nods happily while May gives him a nuzzle on the cheek, saying he makes her happy. Manaphy then says happy, leaving everyone to the excitement that Manaphy can talk. Meredith recalls Lizabeth's first word which was apparently "Fu Fu," meaning food. Ship then says she loved to eat and Meredith chuckles. Ash and Max try to get Manaphy to say their names, but Manaphy resumes speaking out its name. Manaphy then rubs his flipper on May's cheek and she hugs it, saying that its cute. Jackie looks at them bonding, obviously not pleased about Manaphy getting close to May. Ship says that Manaphy needs to guide them to Samiya, and that Manaphy has to be released into the water. May lets Manaphy back into the ocean, and it jumps around swimming freely.

As Manaphy swims by, Ship brings the gang down to a lower part of the boat. After releasing a hatch, a dome in front of them opens up to reveal an underwater forward observation room. And they see Manaphy swim by with the various ocean faring Pokémon. Manaphy sees May and tries to swim up to her, but it hits hard on the glass dome. It begins crying but May tries to comfort it and Manaphy is once more a happy camper. Days pass, Manaphy still following the Blue Lagoon, trying to call out to May every so often. Jackie still sees some disproving in this, as if Manaphy gets too close to May, he may not go back to Samiya. Jackie though is scouting out of the ocean, probably looking for both the location of where Samiya is or perhaps looking out for Phantom. In one instance, he was parasailing to get a much better view. Ash watched him from below, commenting how cool it must be to be a Pokémon Ranger.

The boat makes a stop over a coral reef and the gang decides to take a swim. Although May seems still a bit preoccupied on the boat still, with Manaphy sleeping in her arms. Ash gets back on the boat to find Jackie, who hands him a towel as he comes up. Ash asks Jackie how he would decide to become a Pokémon Ranger. When Jackie was much younger, he got caught in a blizzard in his homeland. He found refuge in a cave, stumbling in and shivering from the cold. A {{p|Swablu}} comes down next to him, and he realizes that the cave is filled with Swablu, {{p|Altaria}}, {{p|Sentret}}, and {{p|Furret}}. They all huddle next to him to keep warm, and he stays the night there. The next morning, the storm has cleared up and all the Pokémon begin moving out of the cave. After seeing the flock of bird Pokémon take off, he was interested in Pokémon life, and wanted to defend such, and so he's been on adventures. After hearing that story, Ash gets a bit excited and he soon jumps back into the ocean, with Buizel. May goes in as well with Manaphy, and the both of them explore the coral reef together. They both resurface and May cuddles Manaphy lovingly.

Later that night, May is sleeping outside with Manaphy on a hammock. She tells Manaphy that she loves him, and asks Manaphy if he can say "I love you." Manaphy looks at her with a questioned look on his face. May then helps him out by saying "you." Manaphy almost said it, so May repeats "you" one more time. Manaphy finally learns and says "looove you!" May praises Manaphy, and Manaphy says happy. May affectionately hugs Manaphy while Manaphy tells May he loves her. Jackie is watching from above, and is very concerned about the relationship between Manaphy and May.

Later the next day, Brock is cooking a meal with Meredith, who finds his cooking to be very impressive. May is seen walking down the hallway towards the underwater observation when she hears Jackie talking with Ash. He tells Ash that Manaphy being all cuddly with May isn't such a good thing. After all, Manaphy is supposed to be the Prince of the Sea, a leader. How's a leader going to look if it acts how it does to May? At that, May suddenly comes in, telling Jackie that Manaphy will still do a fine job being a leader, and then she rushes out just as Lizabeth was about to enter. Manaphy is outside the boat, trying to get May's attention as May is curled up against a hallway wall. Lizabeth finds her and tries to console her, as May doesn't seem to want to let Manaphy go. To help her feel better, Lizabeth gives May her sea shell bracelet. Later that night, Manaphy sits on a rock, looking at the moon. It begins to {{m|sing}}, and as it does, Pokémon begin crowding near Manaphy. It seems Manaphy has influence on the Pokémon and perhaps its relationship with May hasn't hindered its position.

The next day, the boat comes to a stop at a crescent shaped island. Ash says that its time for Manaphy to eat. Manaphy jumps out of the water, and began looking around calling for May, for Manaphy really missed her and wanted to play with her. Ash decides to lighten up the mood by releasing his Pokémon out to play. Manaphy begins playing with Ash's Pokémon and begins playing a chasing game with {{AP|Corphish}}. Feeling much better after yesterday, May begins putting on her [[List of clothing in the anime#May|bandanna]], but it gets caught in a breeze and flies off into the ocean. Manaphy sees this and begins swimming after it as the bandanna gets caught on a Sharpedo, before falling onto a {{p|Relicanth}}. Above the surface, Corphish is still having a blast dancing in the small bay of the island before realizing everyone is back on the ship. It's already evening and everyone notices that Manaphy isn't back yet. Getting worried that something happened; Ship reveals another surprise of the Blue Lagoon. Towards the back at the bottom deck was a submarine bay. It's tethered to the boat for communication. Meredith takes the gang into the sub as Kai, Meredith, Ship, and Jackie stay behind to watch their progress. Corphish is left behind as well, due to not making it back to the boat before the group's departure.

Meanwhile in the distance, Captain Phantom has tracked down the location of the Blue Lagoon, and decides to play the waiting game. He'll simply wait for Jackie or the others to reveal where Samiya is, and then he'll make his move. Jessie, James, and Meowth, who are scrubbing the floor behind the Captain, begin confirming their plot on capturing Manaphy as well, waiting for the Captain to go into Samiya.

Meanwhile Manaphy explorers a crevice on the ocean bottom, passing by a Cloyster that has May's bandanna. But Manaphy goes a little too far out, and runs into a rough current stream before retreating back to the crevice. Manaphy notices the Bandana on its way back and the Cloyster opens up to let Manaphy take it. It hugs the bandanna for a moment before swimming back towards where the boat would be. May begins to worry that Manaphy either went away for good, or got lost. But just then, Manaphy appears outside the window of the submarine holding her bandanna. May asks Manaphy if that was what he was looking for. Manaphy affectionately cuddles the bandanna saying that it loves May. May leans up against the glass of the window saying that she loves Manaphy too. As they begin to go back though, they hit a high speed current that Manaphy ran into and lose control of the sub. The tether to the Blue Lagoon snaps and they disappear out of the Blue Lagoon's sonar. For a while, Lizabeth struggles with the controls until they see Manaphy swimming off as if wanting them to follow. Lizabeth follows Manaphy and soon afterwards, they come out of the current, but Manaphy still leads them off somewhere.

The Blue Lagoon spots the sub on sonar once again and they begin to follow it. However they notice another sub tailing them. Behind the Blue Lagoon's submarine is a smaller one belonging to Phantom. At some point, the Blue Lagoon's submarine blips out of sonar again. Underwater, it appears that it went through some kind of barrier. And then, the moon begins to transition into a red color. Soon, the water temple of Samiya appears right in front of the Blue Lagoon's submarine, with Manaphy still wanting them to follow. They find a "port" where they dock at. It appears that Samiya is encased in a bubble, with half of it full of water and is a complete water palace. Jackie fears however that the follower of the Blue Lagoon's sub is Phantom, and he dives in, capturing a Mantyke along the way to speed the process of getting down to Samiya.

As Manaphy leads the gang down a corridor, which is blocked by a waterfall. Manaphy steps up and begins to sing once more, with the temple repeating the notes in a lower tone. Then, the waterfall splits, and several more behind it split as well, opening the pathway deeper into the temple. Just then, Phantom docks at Samiya, making a little dance as he's found the temple. As he dashes onward, a pod connected at the back of the sub suddenly opens to reveal Jessie, James, and Meowth who snuck on to follow Phantom. The gang reaches what appears to be a dead end, but there's a small obelisk with some ancient writing on it. Meredith says that Ship can read it, and maybe they could go onward if he was here. Just then, Phantom makes his appearance, boasting that he could read it. It read that beyond is a treasure room of those who lived here had slept. He takes out his own bracelet and a similar combination mechanism shows. Phantom lines it up and doors open up ahead. Everyone follows after him and soon they reach a large hollow chasm of a room with openings for the many canals. A platform in the middle has an alter with crystals embedded in it, with water flowing up towards the top. Phantom begins exclaiming that he was after the crystals, but soon Manaphy decides to swim in the flow of water. But this doesn't stop Phantom, as he pulls out a crystal. Suddenly the water stops and Manaphy falls to May. The temple begins rumbling in an ominous manner. Water begins spurting out of the openings, and it's soon realized that Samiya has become unstable. At this rate, there's no time to stop Phantom, the gang heads back for the submarine. Along the way they meet up with Jackie, who tells everyone to just go back, he'll take care of Phantom.

Everyone heads back for the sub, while back in the treasure room, Phantom is plucking out more crystals. By now the water level in the room has reached about a quarter way, though the alter is safe for now from flooding. Jackie comes in, stopping Phantom from plucking out another crystal. Jackie taunts the pirate, using his acrobatic techniques to evade Phantom, while grabbing a crystal and placing it back in its place. Phantom manages to corner Jackie as he tries to place another crystal, but a column of water splash nearby, throwing both off the platform and they soon land into the flooded area. Both are taken into two different canals. Phantom pops up out onto a canal, finding the crystal just ahead of him. He rushes towards it but the crystal slips away into a smaller opening.

Ash and May worry about Jackie, wondering if he's alright. Suddenly Manaphy jumps out of May's arms and lands in the water. It wants to lead the two somewhere, but Lizabeth is worried that they might not make it back. Ash tells Lizabeth to take off, but stay nearby just in case. Manaphy then leads Ash and May up into the temple once more.

Meanwhile, Phantom decides to call it the quits about the crystals and heads back for his sub, which due to the flooding has drifted elsewhere. By the time he reaches it, Jessie, James, and Meowth are there and they plan on taking sub before Phantom can get in. However just before they can close the latch, Phantom gets a good grip on it and pulls it open, sending the three flying off into the waters to be carried away somewhere. Jackie catches up with Phantom before he could get aboard his sub. Not giving up Jackie so easily, he fights him for control of the sub, which ends up Phantom getting pushed off, and Jackie taking off with the sub, but not before Phantom could grab onto a torpedo to use to escape.

Ash and May find themselves in the treasure room, where Manaphy leaps off ahead to pull on a crystal. Ash and May gets that if all the crystals are in place, then Samiya can be saved. So they begin placing the remaining few crystals into the holes, but they are one short. The water has now begun to flood the platform, and deciding to take no more chances, the three decide to flee. But along the way, Pikachu spots a crystal that found its way on a fountain. Ash picks it up while May runs off ahead towards the edge, hoping to see Lizabeth's sub somewhere. But the flooding is showing no signs of stopping. Luckily the pod that the Rockets took happened to be near by. Ash opens it up and puts May, Manaphy and Pikachu inside. He says he'll put the last crystal in and save Samiya. Despite protests from May, Ash closes the door and runs off.

Jackie reaches the surface to where the Blue Lagoon lies. He asks if Lizabeth and the others have surfaced yet, but Ship says they're still down there since Ash and May went back inside. Jackie's a bit shocked at that, but he stays on the surface since there isn't enough time to save them.

Ash begins his route back to the treasure room by climbing up on the rafters, as the hallway he and May previously took began flooding. He finds the hallway to treasure room, but it's flooded. Taking a deep breath, he dives in and swims into the treasure room. Ash is forced to swim under his own energy and by the time he gets there, he runs out of breath, making him drop the crystal as he frantically scrambles to reach the top of the treasure room, which by now is almost flooded. He catches site of where the crystal lands, and finds it embedded in a crack at the bottom. He swims down, taking a hold of the crystal but has trouble pulling it out. When he finally gets the crystal, he swims back up but once more his breath runs out and loses consciousness, dropping the crystal.

May begins to worry about Ash, and she hopes for his safety and wishes him luck. Manaphy uses Heart Swap to relay this to Ash, who suddenly gets a burst of energy, enough to get him back to the top of the room once more. Locating the crystal once more at the bottom, he dives down to retrieve, and ignoring how much air he has left, he swims around the alter, setting the last crystal inside. Suddenly a yellow glow fills the room. Samiya in its collapsing state, was about to collide into an ocean cliff, with the crystals in place, the temple barely misses and begins floating upwards. Meanwhile, yellow energy beams begin to snake out from the treasure room, and wrap around Samiya as it floats upwards. At the surface, everyone is back on the Blue Lagoon, and soon sees Samiya rise as the sun is rising as well.

When the temple finally settles on the surface of the ocean, May opens up the pod door. Ash has saved Samiya, but May is afraid that he drowned in the process. But something comes from the ocean behind May. Phantom pops up from the surface from his torpedo, grabbing Manaphy and soon makes a getaway. Phantom has an easy time at first, but then a yellow energy beam shoots out from the water and begins following Phantom. There's someone inside the energy beam though, and it's Ash! He pursues Phantom while the water Pokémon in the ocean begin gathering. As Phantom dives down beneath in hopes to avoid Ash, he's blocked by a school of Remoraid that limits his movement. Taking advantage of the pirate's surprise, Ash takes Manaphy away. He swims away, surprised at how many Pokémon have gathered; even the [[Legendary Pokémon|legendary]] {{p|Kyogre}} has appeared!

But not all is well; Phantom makes one last effort in capturing Manaphy by staging an attack with his large submarine. Manaphy however hops off from Ash's arms to take control. Manaphy summons all the nearby water Pokémon in the vicinity to launch a counter attack against Phantom's submarine. Most of them gather to hinder its movements while Chinchou slip into an exposed circuitry. They short out the submarine, leaving it a sitting duck. Taking this chance, Manaphy hops onto Kyogre, and Kyogre jumps out of the water, only to launch a Hyper Beam attack on the submarine, critically damaging it and all useful equipment. After the battle, Jackie, using Phantom's personal sub, finds his way to Phantom, where he's seeing him in tattered clothing holding up a heavy piece of a collapsed pillar. Behind the clothing reveals a mechanized suit, in which Jackie figures out how the old pirate was able to have superhuman strength like lifting a boulder up. Phantom's suit though overloads and the column collapses on him. Jackie climbs up on top of the wrecked sub, contacting the Ranger's Base that his mission is complete.

The crew aboard Blue Lagoon are excited to see Ash, especially having been granted the power the King had. To celebrate, Ash takes the others along in their own energy beams to explore the underwater depths around Samiya, to see all the water Pokémon that have gathered around to see the Prince of the Sea. At the end of the day, Samiya sinks down into the ocean once more to be hidden from the world. On the Blue Lagoon, May is with Manaphy, about to release it back into the ocean, this time for good. Though she has a hard time, she manages to say goodbye. Manaphy actually speaks out May's name, expressing how it loves May before jumping off into the ocean. Manaphy then swims towards Samiya as it fades away from view.

===Ending credits===
The Blue Lagoon reaches the port town, with Gabu, Dabu, and Zabu greeting them excitedly at the dock. Ash and company part ways with the circus crew as they head off to their next destination. Jackie, with the help of Officer Jenny finds and arrest Captain Phantom and his crew from the Phantom Troop. In a later adventure, Zapdos is seen flying through a mountainous region, and is captured by Jackie so he can hitch a ride on it. Ash and the gang are seen at camp during the night, conversing, and the camera pans off towards the sky.

* This was the last time that any media for the Pokémon anime was produced using hand-painted cels.
* This was the first Pokémon movie to be dubbed by Pokémon USA, and the only one by [[TAJ Productions]], since [[DuArt]] did ''[[M10|The Rise of Darkrai]]''.
* In the dub, when diamonds and pearls are mentioned for the first time in the movie, Meowth [[Breaking the fourth wall|breaks the fourth wall]] by saying "Hey, that sounds like a [[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Versions|good name for a game]]!". When they get mentioned second time, he says "Let's get through [[Pokémon: Battle Frontier|this season]] first." Obviously he is referencing the (then) next games due out and the [[Pokémon: Diamond and Pearl|next season]].
** On a related note, this is the third Pokémon movie to feature a character breaking the fourth wall, the first two being ''[[M02|The Power of One]]'' and ''[[M03|Spell of the Unown]]''. Ironically, they are all done by Team Rocket.
* Although the posters and DVD cover show Ash controlling some kind of ship, he never actually does this in the movie.
* The clothes Jackie wears during his flashback resemble {{ga|Ethan}}'s.
* Jackie captures a {{p|Fearow}} with his styler, which is most likely a reference to [[Ringtown]]'s Ranger Leader {{ra|Spenser}} and his Fearow.
* Near the climax of the movie, Ash turns his hat backwards for the first time in several seasons.
*The movie aired on Cartoon Network in the UK, along with ''[[M08|Lucario and the Mystery of Mew]]'', before ''[[M07|Destiny Deoxys]]'' was released on DVD.
*Teaser scenes that were used in the movie trailer shown at the end of the Japanese version of ''[[AG171|Pokémon Ranger - Deoxys Crisis!]]'' ultimately did not make it into the movie; such as a scene where {{Ash}} is washed away while calling for {{AP|Pikachu}}, a scene where {{an|May}}'s and [[Lizabeth]]'s bracelets glow, and a scene which shows an alternate version of the architecture of the Sea Temple, as well as a nighttime scene where {{p|Kyogre}} leaps out of the water and back in.
*In a sneak peek of the movie on a [[Pokémon Sunday]] Segment, Ash made a reference to ''[[AG155|The Green Guardian]]''. When he first meets Jack Walker in the preview, he says {{tt|セレビィに負けないくらい森とポケモンを愛してる人だったな～|It's the person who took care of the Celebi in the dark forest}}.
* This movie shares many similarities with ''[[M06|Jirachi: Wish Maker]]''. These include {{an|May}}'s relationship with {{mov|Manaphy|Manaphy|9}} when compared to [[Max]]'s relationship with {{mov|Jirachi|Jirachi|6}}, and {{p|Kyogre}} appearing in this movie while {{p|Groudon}} appeared in the 6th one.
* The dubbed version of this movie was the first movie to be premiered in the original widescreen format.
* This is the first dubbed version of this movie not to use the [[Media:Pokémon_logo_English.png|"Pokémon" logo]] despite the title containing the word "Pokémon". Even though the [[M04|fourth]] and [[M05|fifth]] movies did use the logo, the colors were blue instead.
** Instead, the font and color of the title is similar to the Japanese title.
*In the {{pmin|Latin America}}n dub, when May teaches Manaphy how to talk, May speaks in Spanish and Manaphy repeats it in English. May seems to understand it anyway.
* {{ga|Brendan}} makes a cameo at the beginning of the movie, controlling a {{p|Swampert}}. This is most likely to keep in theme with the [[rival]]'s Pokémon having a type advantage over the main character's (in this case, [[May's Blaziken]]).
* At {{wp|Target Corporation|Target}} stores in the United States, a [[Movie 9 bonus CD|bonus CD]] was bundled with the DVD release of this movie.
* This movie was the first movie not to feature a {{type2|Psychic}} Pokémon.

===Errors===
* When a bird's eye view of the young Jackie surrounded by Pokémon was shown, the long feathers on the Altaria's heads were white instead of the normal blue.

'''Zigzagoon''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ジグザグマ''' ''Jiguzaguma'') is a {{type2|Normal}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolve]]s into {{p|Linoone}} starting at [[level]] 20.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Zigzagoon looks like a brown and white raccoon. Its bristly fur alternates in layers of cream and brown, and, due to the jagged outline, the fur has a zigzag pattern. Zigzagoon’s head is brown with spiky ears and a jagged muzzle. Zigzagoon has a black ‘mask’ pattern over its brown eyes and a black nose. Zigzagoon’s feet have three claws, the forefeet colored cream and the hind feet brown, with pink paw pads on the underside. Zigzagoon also has a spiky, bristly brush tail. The upper portion of Zigzagoon's mouth is jagged in outline, and when Zigzagoon's mouth is open, two fangs can be seen on its lower jaw.
====Gender differences====
None.

====Special abilities====
Since Zigzagoon have a keen sense of smell, and supported by the fact that they are curious about anything on the ground, they are able to locate and {{a|Pickup|pick up}} items while traveling.

When the Generation IV games were introduced, Zigzagoon was given another ability. Due to the fact that it loves berries more than almost anything else, it is a complete {{a|Gluttony|glutton}} when it comes to them.

===Behavior===
Zigzagoon’s behavior is marked by its signature curiosity. Rubbing its nose to the ground, Zigzagoon restlessly wanders back and forth in search of something. As Zigzagoon shows an interest in everything it happens to see, it always zigs and zags, even leaving distinguishable zigzag footprints. Zigzagoon also rubs its bristly back hair against trees to leave territorial markings, and may play dead to fool foes in battle. Like real-life animals, when thirsty it will lap up water with its tongue.

===Habitat===
[[File:Grassland.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Grassland Pokémon}}]]
Zigzagoon are found fairly commonly in grassy fields and wooded areas.

===Diet===

==Trivia==
* Zigzagoon is one of the two Pokémon left out of the [[Hoenn Pokérap]]; the other is {{p|Relicanth}}.
* In each region, there is a two-stage {{type2|Normal}} Pokémon encountered early in the region. Zigzagoon is the [[Hoenn]] variation on this theme that also includes {{p|Rattata}}, {{p|Sentret}}, {{p|Bidoof}}, and {{p|Patrat}}.
* Zigzagoon and {{p|Aipom}} are the only Pokémon that can have {{a|Pickup}} whose evolutions retain the ability.
* A [[Shiny]] Zigzagoon was given to games from an interactive demo to fix the [[Berry Glitch]].

===Origin===
Zigzagoon is based on the {{wp|Japanese Raccoon Dog|tanuki}} (''Nyctereutes procyonoides viverrinus''). Japanese folklore and legend claims that tanuki are tricksters, masters of disguise and capable of shapeshifting, though also absent-minded and gullible. It also has similarities to ordinary {{wp|raccoon|raccoons}}.
====Name origin====
Zigzagoon's name appears to be a combination of ''zigzag'', referring to its fur pattern and unusual habits, and ''raccoon''.

''Jiguzaguma'' may be a combination of ''zigzag'' and {{tt|洗い熊|アライグマ}} ''araiguma'', meaning {{wp|raccoon}}, or {{tt|穴熊|アナグマ}} ''anaguma'', meaning ''{{wp|badger}}''. Also of note, the ''guma'' suffix is often used for mammals that resemble bears.

==In other languages==
*[[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Zigzachs
*[[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Zigzaton, from zigzag and ''raton'', raccoon.
*[[List of Korean Pokémon names|Korean]]: 지그재구리 ''Zigzaguri'' - A combination of ''zigzag'' and ''neoguri'' (raccoon).
*[[List of Chinese Pokémon names|Chinese (Taiwan)]]: 蛇紋熊 ''Shé Wén Xióng'' - Literally "Snake-patterned bear", referring to the zigzag pattern in its fur, which resembles a wriggling snake.

'''Kadabra''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ユンゲラー''' ''Yungerer'') is a {{type2|Psychic}} Pokémon.

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

==Biology==
===Physiology===
A Kadabra is characterized by its human-like body structure and its somewhat fox-like appearance. It has two large ears of the top of either side of its head, a red star-shaped symbol of its forehead (derived from {{wp|Zener cards}}), and two somewhat sinister-looking eyes in the middles of its face. Its eyes lead down to its nose and mouth and its relatively large mustache that grows out on the narrower section of its face. On both of its arms, there are brown sections that are located on the shoulder region of its body. Its arms are fairly thin and consist of Kadabra's regular yellow-hued skin. Its hands each have three fingers, of which all each have a large white claw attached. Its torso consists of a brown section of body similar to a {{wp|fauld}} and an insect-like abdomen below it, which has three red wavy lines (also derived from the Zener cards). Attached to this abdomen is a huge, thick tail, which is mostly yellow with a band of brown circling it. Its legs are very thin and also yellow. Its feet each have three toes: two in the front on each side, and one in the back near the ankle. Each of these toes has a large white claw attached to it. Kadabra wields one spoon which is used to amplify its [[Special Attack|telekinetic powers]].
====Gender differences====
A female has a shorter mustache.

====Special abilities====
Kadabra emit {{wp|alpha waves}} when using its psychic powers that induce headaches to those near it. These waves strangely cause clocks to run backwards and machines to malfunction. The amplitude of the waves are doubled when Kadabra are holding their spoons and increased even further when Kadabra close their eyes.

Kadabra, and its evolution, {{p|Alakazam}}, are the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] that learn {{m|Kinesis}}.

===Behavior===
Kadabra, unlike {{p|Abra}}, no longer has to sleep for around 18 hours a day. However, they are less peaceful and are more devoted to fighting than their pre-evolution. However, if they are outnumbered, they will still use {{m|Teleport}} to escape.

===Habitat===
[[Image:Urban.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Urban Pokémon}}]]
Kadabra live in urban areas, close to humans. Mostly they are found in abandoned buildings left to disrepair. It is found in [[Kanto]], [[Johto]] and [[Sinnoh]].

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

==In the anime==
[[Image:Anime Episode 22 Screenshot - 1.png|thumb|right|{{TP|Sabrina|Kadabra}} in the anime]]
===Major Appearances===
[[Sabrina]], the [[Gym Leader]] of [[Saffron City]], has a {{TP|Sabrina|Kadabra}} that evolved from an Abra in ''[[EP022|Abra and the Psychic Showdown]]''.

===Minor Appearances===
In ''[[AG146|Fear Factor Phony]]'', a Kadabra was living in an abandoned mining colony with several other {{type2|Psychic}} Pokémon.

==Trivia==
* "Pocus" was Kadabra's original English name.
* Kadabra is one of the few Pokémon that loses weight after it evolves. Others include {{p|Porygon}} to {{p|Porygon2}}, {{p|Gloom}} to {{p|Bellossom}}, {{p|Venonat}} to {{p|Venomoth}} and {{p|Gligar}} to {{p|Gliscor}}.
* In Kadabra's {{3v2|Red|Green|Blue}} sprites, the red five-pointed star is missing from its forehead.
* Kadabra has not been printed as a [[Pokémon Trading Card Game|TCG]] card since the {{TCG|Skyridge}} expansion. This may be due to Nintendo and Pokémon Card Laboratories' desire not to provoke {{wp|Uri Geller}}'s litigious nature.
**Maybe due to the same reason, Kadabra has not make any anime appearence (not even cameos) since ''[[AG146|Fear Factor Phony]]''.
* Kadabra has had its spoon in its right hand in every sprite other than [[Yellow]] and [[Silver]].

Kadabra is based on a magician and also a {{wp|Spoon bending|spoon bender}}. It also shares similarities to {{wp|goat}}s and {{wp|foxes}}, both animals with ties to magic.

====Name origin====
Kadabra's name is part of an incantation used in {{wp|magic (illusion)|stage magic}}, ''{{wp|Abracadabra}}''. Its Japanese name is a reference to the magician {{wp|Uri Geller}}, replacing the ''ri'' character with the visually similar ''n'' character. Uri Geller claimed to have the ability to bend spoons with his mind, which is probably why Kadabra carries a spoon. Geller attempted to make a case against [[Nintendo|Nintendo of America]] for using his likeness in a character and lost.

'''Kadabra''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ユンゲラー''' ''Yungerer'') is a {{type2|Psychic}} Pokémon.

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

==Biology==
===Physiology===
A Kadabra is characterized by its human-like body structure and its somewhat fox-like appearance. It has two large ears of the top of either side of its head, a red star-shaped symbol of its forehead (derived from {{wp|Zener cards}}), and two somewhat sinister-looking eyes in the middles of its face. Its eyes lead down to its nose and mouth and its relatively large mustache that grows out on the narrower section of its face. On both of its arms, there are brown sections that are located on the shoulder region of its body. Its arms are fairly thin and consist of Kadabra's regular yellow-hued skin. Its hands each have three fingers, of which all each have a large white claw attached. Its torso consists of a brown section of body similar to a {{wp|fauld}} and an insect-like abdomen below it, which has three red wavy lines (also derived from the Zener cards). Attached to this abdomen is a huge, thick tail, which is mostly yellow with a band of brown circling it. Its legs are very thin and also yellow. Its feet each have three toes: two in the front on each side, and one in the back near the ankle. Each of these toes has a large white claw attached to it. Kadabra wields one spoon which is used to amplify its [[Special Attack|telekinetic powers]].
====Gender differences====
A female has a shorter mustache.

====Special abilities====
Kadabra emit {{wp|alpha waves}} when using its psychic powers that induce headaches to those near it. These waves strangely cause clocks to run backwards and machines to malfunction. The amplitude of the waves are doubled when Kadabra are holding their spoons and increased even further when Kadabra close their eyes.

Kadabra, and its evolution, {{p|Alakazam}}, are the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] that learn {{m|Kinesis}}.

===Behavior===
Kadabra, unlike {{p|Abra}}, no longer has to sleep for around 18 hours a day. However, they are less peaceful and are more devoted to fighting than their pre-evolution. However, if they are outnumbered, they will still use {{m|Teleport}} to escape.

===Habitat===
[[Image:Urban.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Urban Pokémon}}]]
Kadabra live in urban areas, close to humans. Mostly they are found in abandoned buildings left to disrepair. It is found in [[Kanto]], [[Johto]] and [[Sinnoh]].

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

==In the anime==
[[Image:Anime Episode 22 Screenshot - 1.png|thumb|right|{{TP|Sabrina|Kadabra}} in the anime]]
===Major Appearances===
[[Sabrina]], the [[Gym Leader]] of [[Saffron City]], has a {{TP|Sabrina|Kadabra}} that evolved from an Abra in ''[[EP022|Abra and the Psychic Showdown]]''.

* "Pocus" was Kadabra's original English name.
* Kadabra is one of the few Pokémon that loses weight after it evolves. Others include {{p|Porygon}} to {{p|Porygon2}}, {{p|Gloom}} to {{p|Bellossom}}, {{p|Venonat}} to {{p|Venomoth}} and {{p|Gligar}} to {{p|Gliscor}}.
* In Kadabra's {{3v2|Red|Green|Blue}} sprites, the red five-pointed star is missing from its forehead.
* Kadabra has not been printed as a [[Pokémon Trading Card Game|TCG]] card since the {{TCG|Skyridge}} expansion. This may be due to Nintendo and Pokémon Card Laboratories' desire not to provoke {{wp|Uri Geller}}'s litigious nature.
**Maybe due to the same reason, Kadabra has not make any anime appearence (not even cameos) since ''[[AG146|Fear Factor Phony]]''.
* Kadabra has had its spoon in its right hand in every sprite other than [[Yellow]] and [[Gold]].
===Origin===
Kadabra is based on a magician and also a {{wp|Spoon bending|spoon bender}}. It also shares similarities to {{wp|goat}}s and {{wp|foxes}}, both animals with ties to magic.

====Name origin====
Kadabra's name is part of an incantation used in {{wp|magic (illusion)|stage magic}}, ''{{wp|Abracadabra}}''. Its Japanese name is a reference to the magician {{wp|Uri Geller}}, replacing the ''ri'' character with the visually similar ''n'' character.

'''Azurill''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ルリリ''' ''Ruriri'') is a {{type2|Normal}} [[baby Pokémon]].

It [[Evolution|evolves]] into {{p|Marill}} via [[happiness]], who evolves into {{p|Azumarill}} starting at [[level]] 18.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Azurill's ball tail appears to be the biggest of its evolution family, this is due to Azurill's body itself being small. It is large and bouncy and packed full of the nutrients this Pokémon needs to grow. Azurill can be seen bouncing and playing on its big, rubbery tail. The tail is a flotation device in water. It is the only one of its evolutions with white to the side of its cheeks, not under its chest. It also has no arms; however, this does not affect its mobility.
====Gender differences====
None.

===Special abilities===
Azurill spins its tail as if it were a lasso, then hurls it far. The momentum of the throw sends its body flying, too. Using this unique action, one of these Pokémon managed to hurl itself a record 33 feet.

Battling-wise, Azurill are incredibly weak due to their infantile state, having very little potential.

===Behavior===
On sunny days they gather at the edge of water and splash about for fun. Azurill will spin its tail as if it were a lasso, then hurl it far. The momentum of the throw sends its body flying, too.

===Habitat===
[[File:Watersedge.gif|left|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Water's-edge Pokémon}}]]
Azurill live by the water.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

[[File:Misty Azurill.png|thumb|{{TP|Misty|Azurill}} in the anime]]
==In the anime==
Azurill first appeared in ''[[PK11|Pikachu's PikaBoo]]'' as one of the Pokémon that played Hide 'n' Seek with {{p|Pikachu}}.

{{an|May}} made an attempt at capturing the Polka Dot Pokémon in ''[[AG002|A Ruin with a View]]''. She failed and her {{TP|May|Torchic|Blaziken}} got sprayed into submission by the Azurill's evolved forms.

An Azurill was used in the [[Izabe Island]] Pokémon Contest in ''[[AG103|A Cacturne for the Worse]]''. [[Harley's Cacturne]] defeated the Polka Dot Pokémon in the second half of the contest.

An Azurill appeared under the care of [[Katrina (Hoenn)|Katrina]] in ''[[AG011|A Bite to Remember]]''.

Azurill and his older brother {{p|Marill}} continue to search for the item Water Float, hearing that there's one at the beach. Soon after, Azurill and Marill find out that it is at [[Amp Plains]] and asks if the player and his/her partner could get it. Later on, Azurill falls into an unwakeable nightmare, and the player has to get Drowzee's help to look into his dream.

===Pokédex entries===
{{Dex
|type=normal
|gen=3
|rubydex=Azurill spins its tail as if it were a lasso, then hurls it far. The momentum of the throw sends its body flying, too. Using this unique action, one of these Pokémon managed to hurl itself a record 33 feet.
|sapphiredex=Azurill's tail is large and bouncy. It is packed full of the nutrients this Pokémon needs to grow. Azurill can be seen bouncing and playing on its big, rubbery tail.
|emeralddex=Its tail, which is packed with nutrition, is very bouncy like a rubber ball. On sunny days they gather at the edge of water and splash about for fun.
|frlgdex=It battles by flinging around its tail, which is bigger than its body. The tail is a floatation device in water.
|diamonddex=A Pokémon that lives by water. It moves quickly on land by bouncing on its big tail.
|pearldex=Its tail is filled with nutrients necessary for growth. It plays by bouncing on its tail.
|platinumdex=Its tail bounces like a rubber ball. It flings that tail around to fight opponents bigger than itself.
|hgssdex=Its tail is packed full of the nutrients it needs to grow.
|bwdex={{tt|ゴムボールのように　よく　はずむ　しっぽを　ふりまわし　じぶんよりも　おおきな　あいてに　たちむかう。|Its tail bounces like a rubber ball. It flings that tail around to fight opponents bigger than itself.}}

==Trivia==
* Azurill is the first Generation III Pokémon by National Pokédex order to be related to a Pokémon of a previous generation.
*Azurill is, by statistical average, the second-weakest Pokémon in the games, stronger only than {{p|Sunkern}}.
*Azurill and {{p|Wynaut}} are the first two Pokémon which are only breedable from their evolved forms if the parent is holding a certain [[incense]].
**They are also, coincidentally, the only {{cat|Generation III Pokémon}} related to Pokémon of a previous generation.
*Azurill is one of only two Pokémon to change its type completely upon evolution. The other is {{p|Eevee}}.
**Coincidentally, both these Pokémon are {{type2|Normal}}, and can evolve into a {{type2|Water}}.
* Polka dots are known in Japan as 水玉 ''mizutama'', literally meaning water balls. This may explain why Azurill is known as the Polka Dot Pokémon.
** This name also reflects the way Azurill is indirectly related with {{t|Water}}.
*Azurill is currently the only Pokémon which does not evolve based on gender whose gender ratio does not match that of its evolved forms, being female 75% of the time while Marill and Azumarill are female only 50% of the time. Due to this, one of every three female Azurill evolve into a male Marill (whether or not this will happen is determined by the hidden [[personality value]]). It is unknown if this is an error in programming or if it was intentional to reference real-world animals that change sex under specific conditions.
*Azurill, along with {{p|Wailmer}} and {{p|Kecleon}}, was one of the first {{cat|Generation III Pokémon}} revealed, in early March of 2001.
**This is similar to how its evolved form {{p|Marill}} was introduced before [[Generation II]].
*Azurill has the lowest base stat total of all baby Pokémon.
*Azurill is the only Pokémon which evolves through [[happiness]] whose evolution evolves by level.
*With Huge Power, Azurill can reach the highest Attack stat of all Baby Pokémon, capping at a maximum of 304.
*Azurill is the only non-{{type|Water}} to learn {{m|Waterlog}}, but only through breeding.
** However, it does evolve into a Water-type Pokémon.
* Despite much of Azurill's artwork depicting it close to crying, its [[Generation V]] sprite is the only one in which this happens.

===Origin===
Azurill appears to be a {{wp|mouse}} combined with a {{wp|beach ball}} or possibly a {{wp|personal flotation device}} or {{wp|lifebuoy}}.

====Name origin====
Azurill's name is a combination of ''{{wp|azure}}'', referring to its color, and ''rill''. ''Ruriri'' seems to be a corruption of 瑠璃 ''ruri'', {{wp|lapis lazuli}}, which is probably in its evolution's, {{p|Marill}}'s, name.

==In other languages==
*[[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Azurill
*[[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Azurill
*[[List of Korean Pokémon names|Korean]]: 루리리 ''Luriri''
*[[List of Chinese Pokémon names|Chinese (Taiwan)]]: 露力麗 ''Lù Lì Lì''- Transliteration of its Japanese name.
