== Help ==

Can I contribute? --[[User:Pringles|'''P'''r]][[User talk:Pringles|'''i'''ngles]] 22:46, 16 May 2012 (UTC)

== Probopass ==

I was wondering if Probopass counted, as Mini Noses can detach and become Nosepass. --[[User:Pringles|'''P'''r]][[User talk:Pringles|'''i'''ngles]] 00:38, 17 May 2012 (UTC)

== {{p|Wynaut}} and {{p|Wobbuffet}} ==

How are they multiple entity Pokémon? [[Special:Contributions/Enervation|~]][[User:Enervation|Enervation]] 23:25, 26 May 2012 (UTC)
:Looks like they're counting Pokémon with multiple heads and such. Wynaut and Wobbuffet both have eyes on their tails. [[Typhlosion (Pokémon)|★]][[User:Jo The Marten|Jo the Marten]][[Flygon (Pokémon)|★]] [[User_Talk:Jo The Marten|ಠ_ಠ]][[Cilan (anime)|♥]] 23:27, 26 May 2012 (UTC)

== Nincada ==

{{p|Nincada}} is the fusion of two not yet fully formed Pokémon: {{p|Ninjask}} and {{p|Shedinja}}. So, is Nincada a multiple entity Pokémon? [[Special:Contributions/Enervation|~]][[User:Enervation|Enervation]] 16:25, 28 May 2012 (UTC)

:I don't think so. Where does it say that? I thought they were just related. [[User:Pringles|''プリングルズ/'']][[User talk:Pringles|品客薯片/ప్రింగిల్స్]] 17:48, 28 May 2012 (UTC)

::I think it's the same case as Probopass. It can (upon evolution) turn its shell into a Shedinja, but at that point, it won't be part of Nincada any more. [[Special:Contributions/Enervation|~]][[User:Enervation|Enervation]] 18:59, 28 May 2012 (UTC)

:::I guess that makes sense. [[User:Pringles|''プリングルズ/'']][[User talk:Pringles|品客薯片/ప్రింగిల్స్]] 02:31, 29 May 2012 (UTC)

== New Pokémon ==

There's been a few new additions that could be added to this list, I'm thinking {{p|Falinks}}, {{p|Wishiwashi}}, and maybe {{p|Dragapult}} because of the Dreepy "missiles". Should I edit this page myself or would the original author rather do it themself ? {{unsigned|DoCa}}

== Skeledirge ==

The fireball on its head has gained a soul, and when Skeledirge's sleep is shallow, the fireball moves around and sometimes plays pranks. Skeledirge is an excellent caretaker and never gets angry no matter what's done to it. It just keeps sleeping.

'''Skeledirge''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ラウドボーン''' ''Laudbon'') is a dual-type {{2t|Fire|Ghost}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} introduced in [[Generation IX]].

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

==Biology==
[[File:Sleep Style 0911-1.png|thumb|200px|Skeledirge sleeping with one eye open]]
Skeledirge is a large, red, crocodilian {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} covered in rectangular scales. Its belly is angular and has a white coloration flanked by black stripes on either side, resembling an open suit jacket and dress shirt. It also has various white-colored patterns on its head, lower jaw, neck, back, shoulders, arms, legs, and the cylindrical tip of its tail. The white coloration on the top of its head resembles a {{wp|lute}}. Skeledirge has three black claws on each foot, and while it usually walks on all fours, it is capable of standing on its hind legs. Its head is delineated with a black circular shape at the top. It has black eyes with yellow irises and red eyelids, serrated jaws with purple insides, and various square and triangular patterns that come in red, orange, yellow, and purple. A wreath of solid orange-and-yellow fire energy emerges from the back of Skeledirge's jaws, which circles around its head.

Skeledirge has a meddlesome but caring personality. Its singing is gentle but powerful and full of vitality, capable of soothing the souls of all who hears it. Opponents hearing its singing will feel warm and fulfilled inside, losing their will to battle. There is an orange fiery bird resting on top of Skeledirge's head, which is a separate, independent entity from the Pokémon. This bird is spherical, with a yellow face, white eyes, a short crest and tail, and a singular tiny pointed "foot" it balances itself on. The bird was born when the egg-shaped fireball Skeledirge had as a {{p|Crocalor}} gained a soul, which also gave it its {{t|Ghost}} [[type]].<ref name=SVsite>[https://scarletviolet.pokemon.com/en-us/pokemon/skeledirge/ Skeledirge | Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet]</ref> It can sometimes be seen pecking at Skeledirge's jaws, supposedly cleaning its teeth. Skeledirge burns its enemies by unleashing flames that exceed 5,400 °F (3,000 °C). When it sings, its bird transforms into a microphone, growing its "foot" longer until it reaches the ground. {{m|Torch Song|The bird is then powered up by Skeledirge's singing, growing larger and flying towards its target}}. As shown in {{g|Sleep}}, Skeledirge and its pre-[[Evolution]]s are known to sometimes sleep with an eye open. The fiery bird on Skeledirge's head occasionally moves about and even plays pranks on it when its sleep is shallow, a behavior which it tolerates.

Skeledirge is the [[signature move|only known Pokémon]] capable of learning {{m|Torch Song}}.

==Trivia==
* Skeledirge is the [[List of Pokémon by weight|heaviest]] fully evolved [[first partner Pokémon]], weighing 719.8 lbs (326.5 kg).
* In a trademark filed by [[The Pokémon Company]] on November 7, 2022, Skeledirge's Japanese name was romanized as "'''Loudbone'''" instead of "Laudbon".<ref>[https://patent-i.com/tm/record/T2022127332/ 商願２０２２－１２７３３２]</ref> The name "Laudbon" was trademarked a month later on December 19, 2022.<ref>[https://patent-i.com/tm/record/T2022144611/ 商願２０２２－１４４６１１]</ref>
* In [[Generation IX]], prior to the Version 2.0.1 update of {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}, Skeledirge was unable to learn {{m|Yawn}}, while its pre-Evolutions could.

===Origin===
Skeledirge resembles a {{wp|crocodile}} with a skull pattern or a {{wp|calavera}} on its forehead. In {{g|Sleep}}, Skeledirge and its pre-Evolutions are revealed to sleep with one eye open, just like real-life crocodiles. Skeledirge's association with singing and "suited" appearance in general resembles a singer such as those in {{wp|rock music}}, {{wp|mariachi}}, or {{wp|opera}}; or a {{wp|Conducting|conductor}}. Its {{t|Fire|Fire typing}} and {{m|Torch Song|signature move}} may be inspired by the fact that crocodiles release excess heat through their mouths.

Skeledirge may be a reference to some crocodile legends in the {{wp|Iberian Peninsula}}, notably the {{wp|ca:Drac_de_na_Coca|Drac de Na Coca}}, whose preserved body with an exposed skull may have inspired Skeledirge's skeletal appearance, and whose presence in pyrotechnical {{wp|correfoc}} festivities may have inspired Skeledirge's Fire type. It may also reference other legends such as the ghostly {{wp|Cocollona}}; or the {{wp|Coco (folklore)#Mythical_animals|Cucafera}}, depicted as a crocodilian dragon creature with the dome-shaped body of a turtle.

The "hatched" fiery bird on its head may be based on {{wp|Trochilus (crocodile bird)|trochilus}}, a legendary bird (speculated to be a {{wp|Egyptian plover}} or a {{wp|Spur-winged lapwing}}) depicted as having a {{wp|cleaning symbiosis}} relationship with a {{wp|Nile crocodile}}. The location of the bird might also be inspired by the bulbous protuberance at the tip of male {{wp|gharial}}s' snouts, which enables them to produce certain sounds.

Skeledirge's {{t|Ghost|Ghost type}} may also be inspired by Mexican holiday of the {{wp|Day of the Dead}}, with its face resembling a calavera and the fire energy around its neck resembling {{wp|Tagetes erecta|Mexican marigolds}} put on display to honor the dead. Its colorful look may be based on {{wp|alebrije}}, a form of Mexican sculpture art depicting fantastical creatures in brightly colored patterns, or {{wp|trencadís}}.

====Name origin====
Skeledirge may be a combination of ''skeleton'' and ''{{wp|dirge}}'' (a song or hymn performed in mourning, such as during funerals).

Laudbon may be a combination of ''{{wp|laúd}}'' (Spanish lute, a musical instrument), ''loud'', and ''bone''.

Multiple Entity Pokemon

According to the Pokémon Sleep Pokédex entry the Fireball on its head has “gained a soul.” This makes Skeledurge a Multiple Entity Pokémon as the little fire bird is now its own sentient entity.

”The fireball on its head has gained a soul, and when Skeledirge's sleep is shallow, the fireball moves around and sometimes plays pranks. Skeledirge is an excellent caretaker and never gets angry no matter what's done to it. It just keeps sleeping.”
