'''Nate''' (Japanese: '''キョウヘイ''' ''Kyōhei'') is the male [[player character]] in {{game|Black and White|s|Pokémon Black 2 and White 2|2}}. He is the male counterpart to {{ga|Rosa}}.

==In the games==
[[File:Nate B2W2 Trailer.png|thumb|200px|left|Nate in the [[Pokémon Black Version 2 and Pokémon White Version 2 Animated Trailer|Introduction Movie trailer]]]]
===As the protagonist===
Nate is a young boy living in [[Aspertia City]] with his childhood friend [[Hugh]]. At the start of the game, he sets off with Hugh to collect his first Pokémon. They then go their separate ways and he starts his journey across the [[Unova]] region.

===As a non-playable character===
If the player chooses Rosa, Nate will appear in game as an NPC, first met in [[Nimbasa City]]. He will join the player in a [[Tag Battle]] against [[Subway Boss Emmet|Emmet]] and [[Subway Boss Ingo|Ingo]]. Afterwards, he will give the player the [[Vs. Recorder]].

Nate will then appear as the player's partner in the [[Battle Subway]] when choosing to ride the Multi-Train. Two of the following Pokémon are picked from the corresponding list, depending on what the player wants him to base his team on. If the player chooses "A balance between the two," Nate's Pokémon are chosen from either list.

Gym Leader

2012-07-14T13:33:25Z

Empoleon9: /* Trivia */

A '''Gym Leader''' (Japanese: '''ジムリーダー''' ''Gym Leader'') is the highest ranking member of a Pokémon [[Gym]]. The main job of a Gym Leader is to test Trainers and their Pokémon so that they are strong and resourceful enough to compete against the [[Elite Four]] in the games or the [[Pokémon League]] in the anime. If a {{pkmn|Trainer}} defeats a Gym Leader in battle, then the Trainer earns that Gym's [[Badge]].

A Gym Leader's job is not just to test upcoming Trainers. They must oversee how their respective Gym is run and to maintain it. Great care must be taken to make sure that their Gym reflects the best environment for the Pokémon type and playing style of choice, usually an environment that suits that type of Pokémon used there (like pools in a Water-type Gym or flowers and plants in a Grass-type Gym). According to [[Morty]], teaching young people how to battle with Pokémon can also be the job of a Gym Leader.

It has not exactly been made clear how Gym Leaders attain their position, but it appears that it varies for each Gym. Some of them founded their Gym and are self-appointed; others, such as [[Whitney]], are chosen by the other members of the region's Pokémon League. A few appear to be passed on through families: [[Janine]], [[Falkner]], and [[Flannery]] all take over their respective Gyms from a close family member. However, Gyms do not necessarily belong to a particular family; [[Roark]] and his father [[Byron]] are both Gym Leaders at the same time, in different Gyms. Leaders can also choose to vacate their position; examples include [[Koga]], [[Giovanni]], and [[Wallace]].

Although similar in nature, [[Frontier Brain]]s are not considered Gym Leaders.

==Pokémon used==
Almost all Leaders rely on a single [[type]] of Pokémon. For example, [[Erika]] uses only {{type|Grass}} Pokémon in official Gym battles. Some Leaders, however, stray from this mold, albeit rarely. This is evidenced by the different types used by {{ga|Blue}} during his reign as the Gym Leader of the [[Viridian Gym]] in Generation II and IV, although he is the only Gym Leader to do so. However, many Gym Leaders have one or two Pokémon that stray from their type theme.

Geography and climate can often be connected to the type of Pokémon the Gym Leader of that area uses. [[Pastoria Gym]] Leader, [[Crasher Wake]], uses {{type|Water}} Pokémon, a direct allusion to the flooded marsh that surrounds the area and the constant downpour that plagues [[Pastoria City]]. Another example of this is the [[Cinnabar Gym]] Leader, [[Blaine]], who uses {{type|Fire}} Pokémon and lives in a volcanic area.

The character archetype can also reflect the type of Pokémon a Leader uses. For example, [[Roark]] and [[Byron]] are both miners, who use the related {{t|Rock}}- and {{type|Steel}} Pokémon. [[Tate and Liza]] could be based on the archetype of twins who can communicate telepathically, and thus train {{type|Psychic}} Pokémon and being twins, they also battle opposing trainers in double battles, being the only leaders to do so.

==In the games==
[[File:Vs Brawly.png‎|frame|right|Leader [[Brawly]] challenges the player]]A '''Leader''' (Japanese: '''ジムリーダー''' ''Gym Leader'') is the [[Trainer class]] name the [[Pokémon games]] give Gym Leaders during battles. Despite Gym Leaders themselves being introduced in [[Generation I]], the name did not appear onscreen until [[Generation II]], and has been incorporated into every game since. Gym Leaders are integral within the Pokémon universe. In order for one to advance in the game, the player must occasionally challenge and defeat the leader of a [[Gym]]. Each game is designed in such a way that the player will not be able to move forward until they receive a [[Badge|Gym Badge]] which will, in turn, either allow them to use a [[HM]] to overcome natural obstacles, or trigger a necessary event to continue with the game. It is one of the player's main objectives to collect eight Gym Badges, allowing him or her to challenge the [[Elite Four]].

Leaders do not seem to be required to be in their Gyms at all times. [[Giovanni]], for example, could keep his title as a Gym Leader despite not being at the [[Viridian Gym]] during the majority of the events of [[Generation I]], and his successor, {{ga|Blue}}, was also absent from the Gym several times. Beginning in [[Generation IV]], Leaders are increasingly encountered outside of their Gyms, evident in the remakes {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, where the Leaders have to be found in different locations at specific times before they can [[Pokégear#Gym Leader phone listing|exchange phone numbers]] with the player for a [[Fighting Dojo#Gym Leader Rematch Schedule|rematch at the Fighting Dojo]]. Some Leaders even appear across regions, such as [[Jasmine]] appearing in [[Sunyshore City]], [[Crasher Wake]] on {{rt|47|Johto}}, and [[Maylene]] in [[Celadon City]]. Leaders can even challenge other Gyms and the [[Elite Four]] (like [[Volkner]] wanted to do). In later games, it is made apparent that Gym Leaders know each other and are acquainted with Gym Leaders from other regions, as well as with members of the [[Elite Four]] and {{pkmn|Champion}}s. Examples of this are Jasmine being friends with [[Erika]], Volkner being friends with {{EF|Flint}}, [[Brawly]] training with [[Bruno]], and most [[Unova]] Gym Leaders coming together to fight [[Team Plasma]]'s [[Seven Sages]].

===Gym Trainers===
In addition to Gym Leaders, there are also Gym Trainers. While not an official [[Trainer class]], they are Trainers that are either a devotee or apprentice to the Gym Leader, who follow the same type theme as the Leader does. It is usually necessary to defeat multiple Gym Trainers before challenging the Gym Leader. Some Gyms in the game require the player to solve a puzzle, and one must often use Gym Trainers as obstacles to reach the solution. They have no direct impact on the overall plot, other than rarely offering the player helpful advice. It is also worth noting that the type of {{pkmn|Trainer}} appearing in a Gym will depend on the Gym itself. For instance, [[Gardenia]] employs {{tc|Aroma Lady|Aroma Ladies}} and {{tc|Beauty|Beauties}}, exclusively, while [[Misty]] recruits {{tc|Tuber}}s and {{tc|Swimmer}}s; these Gym Leaders represent the [[type]]s {{t|Grass}} and {{t|Water}}, respectively.

==In the anime==
{{incomplete|section}}
Since there seem to be many more [[Gym]]s in the anime than in other media, as evidenced by many Badges that do not belong to Gyms shown in other media, it follows that there would be many more Gym Leaders.

In the anime, Gym Leaders seem to be forbidden from [[Recall|switching]] their Pokémon. Those that Ash encountered before [[Blaine]] did switch; however, since {{Ash}}'s match against Blaine in ''[[EP058|Riddle Me This]]'', only [[Lenora]] has switched out a Pokémon. In the games, they may switch their Pokémon as often as any other Trainer, itself a considerably rare event.

A notable occurrence in the anime is that one does not necessarily have to defeat the Gym Leader to obtain a Badge. Badges are given out on a case by case basis based on whether the Gym Leader feels that the Trainer has earned it. Examples include Ash winning his early Gym Badges, not by defeating the Gym Leader, but with other selfless acts such as rescuing Erika's Pokémon from a burning Gym.

There is also an entire league exclusive to the anime where the Gym Leaders all have special requirements in order to gain their Gym Badges, the [[Orange League]].

==In the manga==
{{incomplete|section}}
===In the Pokémon Adventures manga===
In the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga, Gym Leaders have the same jobs as in the games and anime, but are also shown to throw away their role as Leader and pursue other goals. Some Gym Leaders even become evil, such as [[Koga]], [[Lt. Surge]], [[Sabrina]], and [[Pryce]]. In order to become a Gym Leader in ''Adventures'', one needs to fight a Trainer chosen by the [[Pokémon Association]] and win in front of them without letting one of their own Pokémon faint. The one exception to this rule seen so far has been by {{adv|Blue}} when he defended the building where {{adv|Red}} took his exam, since Red had to decline becoming a Gym Leader due to an injury, despite having passed the exam.

==Trivia==
* Every Gym Leader that specializes in {{t|Rock}}-, {{t|Ghost}}-, and {{type|Steel}} Pokémon uses {{p|Geodude}}, {{p|Gengar}}, and {{p|Steelix}} respectively in battle.
* Even though there are 43 known Gyms in the games, with 50 Gym Leaders among them, there has not yet been a Gym specializing in {{type|Dark}} Pokémon, although there have been three [[Elite Four]] members; [[Karen]], [[Sidney]], and [[Grimsley]]. Each of the sixteen other types has been repeated at least once, and {{t|Water}}- and {{type|Electric}} specialist Gyms appear in four of the five regions.
* The only Gym Leaders so far whose parents have been seen in the anime are [[Brock]], [[Sabrina]], [[Tate and Liza]], and [[Roark]]. They all train either {{t|Rock}}- or {{type|Psychic}} Pokémon.
** Among those, Roark is the only one whose mother has not been seen in the anime.
** Janine, Roark, Maylene, Cheren, and Roxie are the only ones who have a parent the {{player}} can encounter in the games. Koga, Giovanni, Norman, and Byron are the only Gym Leaders whose children can be encountered, or in Norman's case, played as, in the games.
** Other in-game relatives of Gym Leaders include Clair's [[Lance|cousin]] and Blue's [[Professor Oak|grandfather]] and [[Daisy Oak|sister]]. Additionally, Tate and Liza are brother and sister, while Cilan, Chili, and Cress are brothers.
* For ''[[DP009|Setting the World on its Buneary]]'', [[Professor Oak's lecture]] is about Gym Leaders. He writes this [[Pokémon senryū]] about them: ジムリーダー　いのちをかけて　かかってこい ''Jimu Rīdā / Inochi o kakete / Kakatte koi'' "Gym Leader, put your life on the line and challenge me".
* In the Johto saga of the anime, none of the Gym Leaders had the exact same lineups as they do in the games.
* Three of the six first Gyms are Rock-type Gyms.
* Three of the six Gyms whose Badge appears seventh in the Badge case specialize in Ice-type Pokémon and are located in the northern reaches of their respective regions.
** In Generation II and IV, [[Cinnabar Gym]], the seventh Gym of Kanto, is located in an icy location, the [[Seafoam Islands]], due to the original building being destroyed by a volcano.
* In the games, every Gym Leader has at least one Pokémon in his or her party that knows the [[TM]] move he or she gives out upon defeat. Former Gym Leaders do not count in this, as Wallace when he is faced as Champion and Giovanni when he is faced in Generation IV do not have Pokémon that know the move they gave out as TMs when they were faced as Gym Leaders in previous games. Koga, despite not being a Gym Leader in Generation IV, has several Pokémon that know Toxic, the move he last gave out as a TM.
* In Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald, the player can continue the game without defeating [[Winona]] of [[Fortree City]] until attempting to battle the Elite Four.
* Currently, the Unova Gym Leaders are the only Gym Leaders who are unable to be rebattled outside of a [[Pokémon World Tournament|battle facility]].

==Synopsis==
On their way to [[Daybreak Town]], {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} are walking through the forest when they suddenly find a giant object in front of them. Ash wonders what it is, and {{an|Brock}} identifies it as a trampoline. {{AP|Pikachu}} and {{TP|Dawn|Piplup}} excitedly run up to the trampoline and start bouncing on top of it while Dawn wonders aloud why the trampoline was in the forest. Just then, a {{p|Snorlax}} jumps up and bounces on top of the trampoline, sending Pikachu and Piplup flying. Ash and Dawn catch Pikachu and Piplup, respectively, as Snorlax bounces off of the trampoline and lands on the ground.

{{an|Dawn}} curiously looks up Snorlax on her [[Pokédex]], and both she and Brock remark that Snorlax must be working out a lot, as it can move well despite its large size. Just then, a voice behind the group applauds Snorlax for having improved its response time. Ash, Brock, and Dawn turn around to see a boy wearing khaki pants, black glasses, and a lab coat, holding a laptop in his left hand. The boy introduces himself as {{an|Daniel}}, and the group shares introductions. Brock wonders if Daniel owns Snorlax and compliments Daniel for raising it well. Daniel responds that he uses scientific training methods to train his Pokémon, surprising the entire group.

Daniel then takes the group to his Pokémon training lab in [[Camellia Town]]. Daniel demonstrates his training methods by putting a metal helmet and blindfold on Snorlax’s head. Snorlax boards a treadmill as Daniel puts on a similar headband. Daniel explains that he will do an exercise that increases the synchronicity between him and Snorlax. He pushes a button, causing the treadmill to start and Snorlax to walk forward in response. A green hurdle suddenly appears on the treadmill. Daniel focuses on the hurdle, causing a red light to flash on his headband and then in response on Snorlax’s helmet. Daniel jumps when the hurdle comes near Snorlax, causing Snorlax to jump in response. Ash, Brock, and Dawn gasp as Snorlax jumps over the hurdle. Daniel and Snorlax repeat the exercise several times, as Ash expresses his awe at Snorlax’s ability to jump despite being unable to see. Daniel and Snorlax take a break, during which Daniel inserts a stethoscope on Snorlax’s chest, pleased to see that their level of synchronization has increased. Ash shows his appreciation of the science but explains that he doesn’t need any scientific training to connect with Pikachu. Daniel remarks that Ash’s ways are too abstract, angering Ash. He challenges Daniel to a battle, but Daniel laughs and says that it’s impossible to compare level of synchronization in a battle.
However, Daniel suggests an alternative: the [[Pokéathlon]]. Dawn remarks that she has never heard of it, whereupon Daniel explains that the Pokéathlon was first held in [[Johto]] and consists of 10 events, 3 of which are chosen for each Pokéathlon, and that only 1 Pokémon may be chosen for each event. Daniel also adds that a Pokéathlon will be held on the very same day in Camellia Town. Brock remarks that this Pokéathlon must be the first ever to take place in [[Sinnoh]], causing Daniel to blush in surprise at Brock’s knowledge of the event. Ash explains that he and Brock traveled extensively throughout Johto. Dawn notes that the day’s Pokéathlon will start with a Disc Catch, then continue with a halftime show instead of the normal second round, and end with a Hurdle Dash. Brock further explains that the event is a qualifying event to enter a regional Pokéathlon competition. Ash decides to enter the event, whereupon Daniel exclaims that he will not be defeated by a non-scientist.

Ash, Dawn, Brock, Daniel, and Snorlax head over to the Pokéathlon Stadium. Daniel reaffirms that he will not lose to anyone without science. Ash notices that Snorlax is feeling tired, probably due to extensive training, telling Daniel to care about Snorlax. Daniel checks Snorlax’s energy level on his laptop and is dismayed to find that Snorlax has a less-than-normal energy level. [[James]] and {{MTR}} appear, disguised as massage therapists, offering to give Snorlax a scientific massage. They bring Daniel to their tent, where [[Jessie]] shows him their multiple-armed massaging robot. Daniel asks if they can finish giving Snorlax a massage prior to the Hurdle Dash. {{TRT}} assures Daniel that Snorlax is in good hands and ushers him out of their tent, later excitedly exclaiming that they will definitely get a promotion.
Ash and Pikachu are walking outside of the Pokéathlon Stadium when the still disguised James and Meowth offer Pikachu a massage. Ash asks if they will be finished prior to the Hurdle Dash, to which they respond yes. James grabs Pikachu and runs with Meowth into their “Massage Tent”, leaving Ash confused.

Fireworks are set off as the Camellia Town Pokéathlon begins with the Disc Catch. In the stands, Brock explains that the Disc Catch involves great jumping ability of a Pokémon along with synchronicity with its Trainer, as a Trainer must jump on a seesaw to propel his/her Pokémon upward in order to catch a disc. Meanwhile, on the stadium floor, the competitors are lined up and ready to start competing. Daniel brags about how his scientific training will enable him to win with his {{p|Hitmonlee}}. Ash, who has chosen {{TP|Ash|Monferno}}, disagrees as the MC announces the start of the event. The disc throwing machines throw discs at a constant pace, challenging every team’s skill and ability, but both Hitmonlee and Monferno skillfully knock discs into perfect piles. The event ends and the results are announced. Much to Daniel’s surprise, he and Ash are tied for first place, each having twenty points.

The second round halftime show begins. A {{p|Spoink}}, the last year’s Pokéathlon champion, gives the crowd a Performance Exhibition in which it jumps off of a trampoline to touch a yellow-colored, lit lamp amidst 21 other red-colored, unlit ones above it. The crowd is impressed by Spoink’s dexterity, as are Dawn and Brock. Just then Brock notices that he doesn’t see Ash on the stadium floor, although the Hurdle Dash will soon begin.

The scene shifts to the outside of the stadium, where Ash is running towards Team Rocket’s “Massage Tent” in order to retrieve Pikachu. Just outside of the entrance, he bumps into Daniel and the two of them fall down. Daniel asks why Ash is there, to which Ash remarks that he is getting Pikachu back from a massage. Daniel adds that Snorlax is also getting a massage, and the two look up just in time to see Team Rocket’s balloon inflate behind the tent and knock it down. The balloon rises, revealing Pikachu in a cage tied to a rope and Snorlax, eating a small snack, tied to the end of the same rope. Team Rocket takes off its disguises and recites its motto. Their balloon continues to ascend but is weighed down by Snorlax. Jessie sends out her {{TP|Jessie|Yanmega}} and orders it to cut the rope with Steel Wing. Yanmega cuts the rope and Jessie recalls Yanmega, cheering with James and Meowth as they continue ascending. Daniel hugs Snorlax and asks if it’s okay, to which Snorlax just grunts and continues to eat.

Ash sends out {{AP|Staraptor}} to capture Pikachu, but Meowth stops by Staraptor by punching Staraptor out of the sky with the balloon’s robotic hands. Ash recalls Staraptor as Daniel brings out his trampoline and has Snorlax jump on it until it reaches Team Rocket’s balloon. Meowth tries to block it with the robotic hands, but Snorlax jumps through them and crashes into the balloon, sending Team Rocket flying. Pikachu jumps out of its cage and Ash tries to run to catch it but realizes that he will not be able to reach the spot where Pikachu will land. Suddenly, Snorlax runs from behind Ash and slides on the ground, allowing Pikachu to land safely on its belly. Ash thanks Daniel for saving Pikachu, to which Daniel remarks that he will have to use science all the way in order to beat Ash. Just then an announcement is made that the Hurdle Dash is about to begin. Both Ash and Daniel run as fast as possible to the stadium floor.

The Hurdle Dash is about to begin in one minute... but Ash and Daniel are nowhere to be seen! As Dawn comments about Ash and Daniel’s first round performance, Ash and Daniel run into the stadium and take their places. The competitors are given visors and their Pokémon are given headbands. Ash wonders what it is supposed to do. Daniel explains that it is supposed to synchronize Trainer and Pokémon, much like the devices he uses in his training. The MC explains that the Pokémon’s headbands have video cameras which enable the Trainer to see where his/her Pokémon are going. Hurdles will appear, and the Trainer will be able to see them before their Pokémon. The Trainer must jump at the right time in order to signal their Pokémon to jump over the hurdle. Ash and Daniel agree to a fair match as the Hurdle Dash begins. Each Pokémon charges forward, running on the track as fast as possible. Examining his visor, Ash notices a hurdle coming up, so he jumps in order to warn Pikachu, who successfully jumps over the hurdle. Daniel also notices an upcoming hurdle and signals Snorlax to jump successfully over the hurdle. The Pokémon continue running and jumping over hurdles until Pikachu and Snorlax are running neck-and-neck, far ahead of the rest of the competition. As they reach the final stretch, Ash and Daniel encourage Pikachu and Snorlax, respectively, as both Pokémon run as fast as possible towards the finish line, seemingly passing the finish line at the same time. However, the judges deem that Snorlax’s belly passed the finish line first. Therefore, Snorlax and Daniel are announced as the winners of the Camellia Town Pokéathlon.

Daniel and Snorlax dance in jubilation at winning. While Daniel and Snorlax are presented with wreaths on a podium, Ash congratulates Daniel for his victory, much to Daniel's surprise. The two apologize for criticizing each other's training methods and shake hands. Ash wishes Daniel luck in the Johto Pokéathlon, and Daniel wishes Ash all the best in the Sinnoh League. From the stands, Dawn notices that Ash and Daniel have become friends, and Brock explains that their love of Pokémon goes beyond their different training styles. He then reminds Dawn that her Contest in Daybreak Town is coming up. The episode ends as Dawn and Piplup excitedly look forward to the opportunity to earn her fifth Ribbon.

==Koffing==

Um, isn't it a little soon to put that she has a Koffing in game?? The anime has been shown to change gym leaders pokemon before after all. If anything we should just mention that she has a Koffing in the anime section should we not??[[User:1rkhachatryan|RBK]] 03:14, 16 April 2012 (UTC)
:We always hide anime Pokémon, but Koffing is there. Also, her gym in-game has a sign with Koffing on it. That + the fact she has one in the anime, I think it's safe to say she has a Koffing in the games. [[Typhlosion (Pokémon)|★]][[User:Jo The Marten|Jo the Marten]][[Flygon (Pokémon)|★]] [[User_Talk:Jo The Marten|ಠ_ಠ]][[Cilan (anime)|♥]] 03:37, 16 April 2012 (UTC)
::But we know for sure she has a Koffing in the anime, but not in the games. In any case it would be more logical to show the Koffing in the anime section and hide the Koffing in the games section (or remove it altogether; by the time we have her team confirmed it's gonna be put on the party template)... '''[[User:Memo326|Memo]]'''[[User talk:Memo326|326]] 18:14, 16 April 2012 (UTC)
:::I agree with the above statement. Bugsy has Spinarak in his Gym in HG/SS, and he has a Spinarak in the anime, but not in the games. It should be deleted, because it's speculation. [[User:Littlmiget123|Littlmiget123]] 12:17, 18 April 2012 (UTC)
::::However, Bugsy wasn't advertised in prerelease material as having a Spinarak in the anime. Besides, they've put a large amount of focus on having pre-Unova Pokémon appearing in B2W2 and the Spinarak were part of a Gym puzzle while the picture of Koffing is at the centre of the stage where Homika is fought. Also, the Spinarak in Azalea Gym aren't actually Spinarak and just have a similar design, while the Koffing is clearly a picture of a Koffing. - [[User:Blazios|Blazios]] [[User Talk:Blazios|talk]] 15:41, 18 April 2012 (UTC)
:::::Still, Gym Leaders are known to have different Pokemon in the anime than in the games. {{an|Misty|Not}} {{an|Brock|counting}} {{an|Cilan|the}} {{an|Iris|main cast}}, there's Erika, Sabrina, Koga, Blaine, Giovanni, Falkner, Bugsy, Whitney, the list goes on. Even in the Unova region; Lenora had a Lillipup before it evolved and Elesa has a Tynamo. I know that it was prereleased and stuff, but it's still the anime, which is far different from the games. Until a screenshot of Homika's Koffing is released, it should stay hidden. I myself believe that Homika has a Koffing, but belief and official game screenshots are two different things. ^-^; [[User:Littlmiget123|Littlmiget123]] 15:52, 18 April 2012 (UTC)
::::::Like I said, none of those were advertised prerelease as having the Pokémon they have in the anime and none of the Pokémon they had in the anime were the main focus of the Gym in the games. Koffing is clearly of significance in the games as it's quite obviously the main focus of Homika's stage. - [[User:Blazios|Blazios]] [[User Talk:Blazios|talk]] 16:21, 18 April 2012 (UTC)
:::::::For all we know Homika could just be a Koffing maniac who has Koffing plastered all over the place because she REALLY WANTS A KOFFING but she laments over the fact that she does not actually have one because it's so hard to find in the Unova region or something. Maybe you have to go on a sidequest to find a Koffing for her but she doesn't actually use it in battle. Maybe she'll only have it in rematch battles. Maybe she's a [[Pokemopolis|Dodger]]. In any case, I think it's far too premature to include Koffing as one of her owned Pokemon in the games. Game Freak seem to be getting great delight over trolling the fansites during this prerelease period, so just keep it hidden for now.

==Is she left-handed?==
She appears to be left-handed (as the picture shows her holding the guitar the way lefties do). Is this noteworthy in some way? [[User:Ariano|Ariano]] 16:03, 17 April 2012 (UTC)
:I've noticed that as well, but I don't believe it should be added. Many people could be left handed in the Pokemon generation. *shrugs* {{unsigned|Littlmiget123}}
::It's kind of speculative to assume that she's left handed. For all we know she could be ambidextrous (both handed). [[User:Pokemaster97|--Pokemaster]][[User talk:Pokemaster97|97]] 00:27, 18 April 2012 (UTC)
:::Or she could be cross-dominant, which is more common variant to ambidexterity. My own father favors his left hand for fine motor skills but his right hand for gross motor skills. Maybe Homika plays her bass with her left hand but throws Pokeballs with her right. :P ...but at this point we don't know, so yeah, unless she says something about it in-game, end of discussion.

== Nux Vomica her true name? ==

Google translate translates her kanji'd name into "Nux Vomica". Seems odd but fitting. [[User:AverageHero|AverageHero]] 22:05, 15 May 2012 (UTC)
:First, her name is Homika. Secondly, it's katakana, not kanji. Third, we already have a translation of her name. Lastly, please never use Google Translate to try and translate Japanese. It almost never comes out right. [[User:Ataro|Ataro]] 22:08, 15 May 2012 (UTC)

::To add onto what Ataro said, Homika was named directly after a plant, which is what Google Translate was probably getting at. Her Japanese name is still Homika. [[User:Rai Marshall|Rai Marshall]] 22:10, 15 May 2012 (UTC)

:::Sorry, I'm not an expert at telling the difference between Kanji and Katakana. Also, I was just trying throwing it out there since this IS a discussion page. Also, sorry that I used Google Translate, I'm new and just wanted to help. [[User:AverageHero|AverageHero]] 22:19, 15 May 2012 (UTC)

== Her father ==

The page says "Both Homika and Janine have known fathers in the series. Unlike Homika's father, Janine's father was also a Poison-type Gym Leader." but we do not know for a fact her father was not a Poison-type Gym Leader, just because we never battle him. There's every possibility he was at some point. [[User:Empoleon9|Empoleon9]] 15:33, 19 May 2012 (UTC)

== Gym Battle ==

With her being the first Gym Leader have a 3 on 6 battle, should something about that be listed and hidden on her page? [[User:G50|''G'']][[User talk:G50|''50'']] 08:17, 21 May 2012 (UTC)

::Personally, I'm still waiting. They're near Iccirus in the anime, and the starting town is in the Southwestern most point of Unova.

:::I don't think in the anime she's being battled in the same place as in the game. I mean, the anime is running on a different timeline if you want to use that argument, so perhaps she hasn't moved her gym yet. Also, Koga's gym in the anime was located outside Fuchsia City, so her's could easily be in a different place. [[User:Empoleon9|Empoleon9]] 16:59, 25 May 2012 (UTC)

'''Giratina''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ギラティナ''' ''Giratina'') is a dual-type {{2t|Ghost|Dragon}} [[legendary Pokémon]].

While it is not known to [[Evolution|evolve]] to or from any other Pokémon, it has a [[Form differences#Giratina|second Forme]] called '''Origin Forme''', revealed in early February of 2008, whereas its original physical appearance in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}} is now called '''Altered Forme'''.

In Origin Forme, Giratina is the [[version mascot]] of {{game|Platinum}}.

Along with {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Palkia}}, it is a member of the [[Creation trio]] of [[Sinnoh]], representing antimatter.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
As first revealed by Japan's CoroCoro Magazine, Giratina has two forms. The first (Altered Forme) is the form that appeared in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}. In this form, Giratina has a large, gray, centipede-like body with six short, thick legs. Its legs have gold claws and gold bands on them. It has a tail and a thick black stripe running vertically along the front of its body. There is a series of red horizontal stripes running across the large black one. Three gold half-rings circle the back half of Giratina's neck at the same points that three of the red stripes are at on its front, resembling a ribcage. On its back are two large, black wings that are decorated with red, conical objects that also could be claws. The wings seem oddly out of place, due to the fact that Giratina seems far too heavy to fly effectively. The wings also seem to be ghostly, as they can change shape as if they were made of a liquid or gas.

Giratina's head and eyes resemble those of {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Palkia}}, causing many to theorize that it was related to the two even before it was confirmed in Pokémon Platinum.

The second is a new Origin Forme which made its debut in ''[[M11|Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]''. It uses this form when traveling through dimensions other than ours, such as the Distortion World, its home. The form-altering is triggered by a change of gravity. This form is more serpentine than Giratina's Altered Forme. The Origin Forme of Giratina has six black, ghostly streamers on its back that each have a bright red spike at the end. Its mouth is hidden by the head plates, which swing open sideways when the mouth is opening. Giratina's legs have been reduced to spike-like protrusions. There are four more golden spikes near the edge of the tail. The three gold half-rings in this form can be used to grip objects. This version of Giratina also appears in {{game|Platinum}}, and can be activated outside of the [[Distortion World]] if it is holding a {{DL|Legendary artifacts|Griseous Orb}}.

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

===Special abilities===
Giratina is able to travel through and control dimensions besides those of time and space. When in its Origin Forme, it is able to pass through dimensions at will, however, it will turn back to its Altered Forme due to the gravity change from the [[Reverse World]]. It does so by emitting a whirlwind from its mouth which creates a portal.

It also seems to have a connection to reflective objects, such as mirrors and pools of water. Reflections embody the concept of the Reverse World.

As to be expected with other {{type2|Ghost}} Pokémon, Giratina is capable of using Ghost, {{t|Dark}}, {{t|Psychic}} and {{t|Electric}} attacks. Unlike other {{t|Dragon}} Pokémon, Giratina lacks the ability to wield {{t|Ice}}- and {{type2|Fire}} attacks (save for {{m|Will-O-Wisp}} and {{m|Icy Wind}}, which most Ghost-types learn anyway). Giratina is one out of seven Pokémon that is capable of using {{m|Aura Sphere}}. Since Giratina is a "true" Dragon Pokémon, it is also capable of using {{m|Draco Meteor}}.

In Platinum, Giratina can transform to its Origin Forme by equipping the Griseous Orb. If the orb is unequipped in battle, it goes back to Altered Forme. The Origin Forme has higher offensive stats while the Altered Forme has higher defenses. Since Giratina's Origin Forme (and the Griseous Orb, for that matter) is exclusive to Platinum, Black and White, or HeartGold and SoulSilver via event, when it is traded to Diamond or Pearl it will revert back to its Altered Forme, and the Griseous Orb it was holding goes back into the player's bag.

Giratina is the [[Signature move|only known Pokémon]] that learns {{m|Shadow Force}} via level up.

===Behavior===
Judging by the events in Pokémon Platinum and ''[[M11|Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]'', its portrayal in [[Sinnoh myths|ancient folklore]], and its Platinum Pokédex entry, it's assumed that Giratina is a highly aggressive and territorial Pokémon protective of [[Distortion World|its home]]. It should be noted that despite the legends depicting it in a more evil light than the others in its trio, Giratina arrived at Spear Pillar to save the world from Cyrus' attempted apotheosis; though it may have arrived to protect its own world from destruction.

===Habitat===
[[Sinnoh myths|Legends]] claim that Giratina appear in cemeteries and that this Pokémon species supposedly lives in [[Distortion World|a world on the reverse side of ours]]. It was banished for violence, possibly by Arceus.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

==In the anime==
[[File:Giratina {{#ifexpr: ({{#time: H}} mod 2) = 0|Altered|Origin}} Forme anime.png|thumb|right|250px|{{#ifexpr: ({{#time: H}} mod 2) = 0|Altered|Origin}} Forme Giratina in the anime]]
===Major appearances===
===={{mov|Giratina}}====
{{mov|Giratina}} made its debut in ''[[M11|Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]''. In the movie, Giratina ambushes and drags {{mov|Dialga}} into the [[Reverse World]] in order to exact revenge against the Temporal Pokémon for causing damage to its home during its fight with {{mov|Palkia}} [[M10|some time before]]. [[Zero]] also attempts to copy Giratina's powers in order to take control over the Reverse World. Throughout the movie, Giratina takes on its Origin Forme whenever it is in the Reverse World, and its Altered Forme whenever it is in the real world.

The Giratina makes a second appearance in the [[M12|twelfth movie]] alongside {{mov|Dialga}}, {{mov|Palkia}}, and {{p|Arceus}}.
===Minor appearances===
Giratina made its anime debut in ''[[DP148|Try for the Family Stone!]]'' as an illusion.

Giratina appeared in Meowth's [[boss fantasy]] in ''[[DP173|Dealing With a Fierce Double Ditto Drama!]]''.

==In the manga==
[[File:{{#ifexpr: ({{#time: H}} mod 2) = 0|Giratina Altered Forme Adventures.png|Giratina Origin Forme Adventures.png}}|thumb|right|210px|{{#ifexpr: ({{#time: H}} mod 2) = 0|Altered|Origin}} Forme Giratina in Pokémon Adventures]]
===Giratina and the Sky Warrior===
Giratina appears in ''{{OBP|Giratina and the Sky Warrior|manga}}''. Much like in the movie, it attacks Dialga and drags it into the Reverse World, and later is hunted by [[Zero]]. In ''{{OBP|Arceus and the Jewel of Life|manga}}'', Giratina reappears alongside Dialga and Palkia to face off against Arceus.

===Pokémon Adventures===
The {{tc|Executive|Rocket Executive}}s use {{p|Arceus}}' power to create replications of the [[creation trio|three dragons of Sinnoh]], but they are destroyed before they can materialize.

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

* Giratina has many differences from the other members of [[creation trio|its trio]]:
** It is the only member of the trio that does not have the first letter of the game it is mascot to match the first letter of its name.
** In its Origin Form, it is the only one without a Hidden Ability.
** It is the only member with [[form differences]].
** Its HP is its highest stat rather than Special Attack.
** It does not have a [[type-enhancing item]] in Diamond and Pearl ({{DL|Legendary artifacts|Griseous Orb|this item}} is introduced in Platinum).
** It is the only member whose {{m|Shadow Force|signature move}} is not a [[Special move|Special]] or {{type|Dragon}} move.
** It is met at level 70 in {{2v2|Diamond|Pearl}} while the other members are met at level 47. This is reversed in {{v2|Platinum}}.
** It is the only one of its trio without a jewel on its body, and therefore cannot learn {{m|Power Gem}}.
** It is separated from the other members of its group in the Pokédex by {{p|Heatran}} and {{p|Regigigas}}.
** It is the only member with a catch rate of 3, and the only one without a 100% [[Recruitment|recruit rate]] in the [[Mystery Dungeon]] series.
* No other Pokémon has the same [[type]] [[List of Pokémon with unique type combinations|combination]] as Giratina.
** It is also the only dual-type Pokémon that has weaknesses to both of its types, as well as the only {{type2|Ghost}} legendary Pokémon (not including {{p|Arceus}} when holding the {{DL|Plate|Spooky Plate}}).
* Giratina along with {{p|Togetic}}, {{p|Togekiss}}, {{p|Yanma}}, {{p|Yanmega}} and {{p|Smeargle}} (by {{m|Sketch}}), are the only Pokémon that can learn all three [[Move variations|variations]] of {{m|AncientPower}}.
* Giratina has the highest HP stat of all legendary Pokémon. However, it is outmatched by several non-legendary Pokémon.
* It is one of two Pokémon whose ability changes depending on its form, the other being {{p|Shaymin}}.
* In its Origin Forme, Giratina has the most resistances and immunities of all non-{{type|Steel}} Pokémon, excluding {{p|Shedinja}}.
* In Platinum, Giratina is the only Pokémon to come out from above the screen during the start of the battle. Also, it does not have a shadow until it uses {{m|Shadow Force}} or breaks out of a Poké Ball.
* In interviews [[Junichi Masuda]] and Takeshi Kawachimaru did for G4, it was said that Giratina and its Distortion World were created to be personifications of {{wp|antimatter}}; this is also stated in HeartGold and SoulSilver by [[Cynthia]].
* Giratina is the only Pokémon that appears last in a regional Pokédex listing that is not an event-exclusive Pokémon.
* Giratina's Altered Forme received a different second frame sprite in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}, but the static sprite remained the same.
* When encountered in Platinum, the game reads "The Distortion World's Giratina appeared", but it is still a wild Pokémon. It is the only Pokémon to do this.

===Origin===
Giratina is possibly based on a {{wp|basilisk}}. In the Altered Forme, the wings may be based on a bat's, and its body has an insect-like, six-legged feature, but its posture is similar to a {{wp|sauropod}}. Its Origin Forme has a body similar to a serpent, while the six protrusions on its body may be based on a {{wp|scorpion}}'s stinger. However this Forme also shares physical traits with the {{wp|Amphitere}}, a European dragon-like creature with wings but no legs.

====Name origin====
Giratina's name may be derived from {{wp|platinum}} (written as プラチナ ''platina'' in {{wp|katakana}}; compare to ギラティナ) and either {{wp|guillotine}}, [http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/Girasol girasol] (a type of red {{wp|opal}}), or girare, an Italian verb meaning "to wander or turn".

==Synopsis==

{{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} are still on their way to [[Sootopolis City]] for Ash's final [[Gym]] {{pkmn|battle}}. Of course, they're still making their way through the woods. [[Max]] thought for sure they'd be out by now, and {{an|May}} adds that things always looks closer on the map then they do in real life. {{an|Brock}} suggests it may be at least another day.

Ash, however, attempts to cheer the other guys up. He declares that they're only one day and one boat ride from his ultimate victory! Looks like the anticipation of going after the final badge has Ash all fired up.

However, {{AP|Snorunt|Glalie}} suddenly pops out of his [[Poké Ball]]. Ash is surprised, but Snorunt uses Powder Snow on him, freezing him and Pikachu solid. May and Max jokingly suggest that Snorunt was just trying to tell Ash to "cool it" and "chill out."

Suddenly, Max hears a voice calling. Max takes off running to find out what it is. Ash, Brock, and May are surprised, because they didn't hear anything. Max doesn't have time to explain, however. Something's in trouble, and he has to find it!

Soon enough, Max bursts out of a bush to find a {{TP|Max|Ralts}} laying next to a lake. When it's brought back, they can only guess that it must have fallen into the lake and it's now sick. Brock hands some soup for it to try. At first, Ralts won't touch it, but then Pikachu tells it to go ahead, so it manages to take a drink of it, and obviously enjoys it, just like almost everyone else who tries Brock's cooking.

May pulls her [[Pokédex]] to find out more about the Ralts. Max lays it back down, when suddenly Snorunt pops in. Max and Ash get angry at Snorunt for scaring the Ralts. Snorunt gets angry in turn, swipes Ash's hat and Max's glasses, freezes them with Powder Snow, then puts it back on them.

Ash and Max start dancing wildly when the ice cold hat and glasses are put back on them. The Ralts, however, starts laughing at this. That's when Max realizes that Snorunt was just trying to cheer up the Ralts. May thinks it must be feeling better.

Brock, however, thinks otherwise. It's definitely running a fever, and it's pretty high, so it would be best for them to get the Ralts to a Pokémon Center right away. Max offers Ralts a lift, then declares that he's going to take full responsibility for Ralts on the trip.

Not far away, {{TRT}} is watching them. [[Jessie]] sees the Ralts and thinks it's pretty cute. James says it has its points, but it doesn't compare to his {{TP|James|Chimecho}}. {{MTR}} suggests they snatch the Ralts and give it to the boss. James immediately shows skepticism, but Meowth begins to have another one of his [[boss fantasies]]...

"Imagine the boss waking up in the morning, the pleasant sound of Ralts rousing him gently from sleep. Suddenly, a gang of evil intruders busts in, threatening to take his money, his jewels, and even steal the covers! Luckily, Ralts appears and uses {{m|Safeguard}} to protect the boss, and then blasting the intruders with {{m|Psychic}}! So much excitement before breakfast leaves the boss needing a nap, so Ralts uses its Hypnosis ability to help relax him. All sleepy and happy with the Ralts we gave him, the boss will say, "Meowth and friends deserve a big reward when I wake up.""

Once again, Team Rocket gets excited about the thoughts of promotion, and even a condo next to the ocean! Time for Team Rocket to kick this plan into gear!

Later, as Ash and co. are running down the road, James appears, disguised as an elderly man, and thanks them for finding his poor, lost Ralts. He explains that his sisters have been looking everywhere for it, and his sisters (Jessie as a {{p|Gardevoir}} and Meowth as a {{p|Kirlia}}) enter.

Ash asks if he's a [[Pokémon Trainer]], and James responds with a "Yes, [[twerp]]...*ahem* I mean, lad!" He then introduces himself as the fabulous Trainer of these three Psychic Pokémon, Lord James Jameson the third, Esquire.

Brock explains that the Ralts is sick and they need to get it to a [[Pokémon Center]]. James, however, explains that since it's "his Pokémon," it's his responsibility to take it. Max, however, is starting to get suspicious, because Ralts seems to be afraid of James. James quickly explains that the fever must be affecting its mind.

Meowth suddenly falls off its toes and lands flatfooted, but quickly fixes itself. However, now Ash is starting to get suspicious too, and he takes out his Pokédex and instead of it reading Kirlia's entry it reads Meowth's! When the Pokédex states that Meowth typically spend the day sleeping Meowth gets angry at the suggestion, while Jessie gets angry at Meowth since the Pokédex also states he has the ability to collect coins. Unfortunately, that blows their cover completely, and they're revealed as Team Rocket. Quickly the threesome ditch their disguises, and say the [[Team Rocket motto|motto]] along with {{TP|Jessie|Wobbuffet}} and {{TP|James|Chimecho}} adding their own touches.

Ash is angry with the three and tells them he knew something was up with them, however the time for trickery is over as Jessie sends out {{TP|Jessie|Dustox}} which attacks with a fierce {{m|Whirlwind}}, knocking the gang off their feet. James then sends out {{TP|James|Cacnea}} which naturally attempts to give him a spiky hug, but this time James is able to dodge the attempt and orders a {{m|Pin Missile}}. Cacnea fires and the missiles which impact into the ground causing explosion which sends everyone scurrying for cover. Max hides behind a tree, promising to keep Ralts safe. Ash decides to retaliate the best way he knows how and has {{AP|Pikachu}} use {{m|Thunderbolt}}, which strikes Team Rocket and their Pokémon causing the usual pain, but James has Chimecho use {{m|Heal Bell}} which completely heals everyone.

May then sends out {{TP|May|Combusken}} and has it use {{m|Fire Spin}} however Dustox releases another powerful Whirlwind which keeps the attack safely at bay. Jessie then sends out {{TP|Jessie|Seviper}} and orders a {{m|Poison Tail}} and Ash has Pikachu counter with Iron Tail. Cacnea fires another Pin Missile which heads towards the group, but Brock has his {{TP|Brock|Ludicolo}} intercept it with {{m|Razor Leaf}}.

Max, however, realizes that Ralts is getting worse, and alerts the others. They come to the conclusion that it must be worse than just a cold. Team Rocket suddenly attacks again, and Ludicolo, Combusken, and Pikachu move in to intercept. Ash then tells Max to make a run for the Pokémon Center while he still can. Max is nervous about going alone, but Ash reminds him that he's the one who wanted to be responsible for Ralts. After further encouragement from Brock and May, Max goes for it.

After Ludicolo crashes from Dustox's {{m|Psybeam}}, Ash orders an {{m|Icy Wind}} from Snorunt. Snorunt freezes everything in Team Rocket's direction, then runs off after Max. Ash is happy that Snorunt is worried about Ralts, but Brock points out that they have bigger problems... Team Rocket isn't frozen! It turned out that Wobbuffet was able to protect Team Rocket from the Icy Wind with {{m|Mirror Coat}}. But that's when they realize that Max is gone, and so is Ralts! Ash and May make fun of their eyesight not being too hot, to which Jessie angrily responds by ordering Seviper to use {{m|Haze}}.

Max is still on the move, with Snorunt not far behind. Team Rocket, who apparently took advantage of the Haze attack to get away, are looking for Max and the Ralts too. Max is going as fast as he can, but is forced to stop because the Ralts is getting worse.

Max finds out Ralt's fever is getting worse, and he needs to come up with something fast. He then finds a bundle of berries that his mother always gave him when he was sick, and tries to convince the Ralts to eat some of them. But the Ralts is too sick to eat, and Max is starting to worry that Ralts is giving up.

Max begins to crack, wondering why he wanted to be the big hero, and he's scared that all he did in the end was let Ralts down. Suddenly, an icy wind blows past, and Max looks up to see Snorunt! Snorunt is holding some of the berries, which it froze solid. Max, getting an idea, wraps the berries in a rag, and uses it as a cold compress for Ralts.

This calms and cools Ralts down, and Max once again tries to convince it to eat. It manages to take a bite this time. Max is happy, because this means the Ralts still has a chance!

Elsewhere in the forest, May is concerned about Max, and hopes he's okay. Ash tells her to relax, saying by now he's probably at the Pokémon Center already. Brock adds that they'll be at the Pokémon Center as well.

Back to Max, who isn't quite at the center yet, but is getting close. He asks Ralts to hang on just a little bit longer. Unfortunately, Team Rocket finds them, and they're not happy. They order Max to hand over the Ralts or else. Max refuses.

Suddenly, Team Rocket is psychically lifted up and sent blasting off again. Max wonders what happened, but his question is answered when a real Kirlia and Gardevoir appear! Evidently they were looking for Ralts.

Max, however, is forced to try to explain to them that Ralts is in bad shape and needs help. Kirlia is offput by this, but Snorunt refuses to let it get closer. They get into an argument, until Max stops Snorunt. He tries again, but the angry Kirlia fires a Psychic attack.

However, Ralts stops this by using Safeguard! However, that leaves the Ralts even weaker than before. Kirlia tries to approach, but Gardevoir stops it. They decide that if Ralts is willing to trust Max that far, then so can they. As they {{m|teleport}} away, Max quickly gets going again.

Max finally manages to get Ralts to the Pokémon Center, and it's put in the intensive care unit. There's nothing left for him to do but wait. Ash and the others then show up, and Max runs crying into May's arms, who calmly comforts him, saying he really came through. All they can do from there is wait further, until Nurse Joy finally comes out, with the good news that Ralts is going to be just fine!

Max quickly runs in to see it, and it's just as happy to see him as Max is it. It turns out that Max got him there just in time, had he been even an hour later, the Ralts might not have survived. Ash and May are proud of Max for really stepping up when he needed to.

However, the realization dawns upon Max...now that Ralts is all better, it's time for it to go back where it belongs. He soon heads outside and starts calling for Gardevoir and Kirlia. After a while, "they" show up. However, it's really Jessie and Meowth in their respective disguises again. James is hidden off to the side, convinced it will work this time as long as they stay up on their toes.

Ash and May can't believe that Team Rocket is trying this stunt again. Max isn't finding the humor in this, and he directly tells them that if they really cared about Ralts, they wouldn't let it fall into Team Rocket's hands! He then orders a Psychic attack, which Ralts uses to send Jessie and Meowth blasting off.

"No fair! Why isn't James blasting off?!"

James, realizing he's in trouble, goes to make a run for it, but unfortunately ends up running into the real Gardevoir and Kirlia, who send him blasting off with Psychic attacks of their own.

"Don't worry, guys! Right behind you!"

Gardevoir and Kirlia then appear to Max, who, just as he promised, is ready to return Ralts now that it's all better. Ralts, however, doesn't want to leave Max, and it's obvious Max is equally hesitant to let Ralts go. However, it's time for them to part, but Max promises that one day, when he's older and he's a Trainer, that he'll come back for Ralts.

With that deal made, Gardevoir, Kirlia, and Ralts teleport away. However, Max hears Ralts voice in his mind..."Promise me, Max! Promise me you'll come back and get me!" Max calls out that that's his promise, he will come back some day.

(Part One)'') is the 110th episode of the {{series|Advanced Generation}}, and the 384th episode of the [[Pokémon anime]].

{{spoilers}}
== Synopsis ==
The episode opens with {{Ash}} standing expectantly on the prow of a small motor boat. As the narrator explains, after a long trip Ash and {{ashfr}} have finally arrived in [[Sootopolis City]], the site of the eighth and final [[Hoenn League]] gym. After planting his feet on dry land, Ash immediately and enthusiastically declares that it's time to challenge the [[Sootopolis Gym]]. Unfortunately for Ash, {{an|May}} and [[Max]] spot a nearby fireworks display and run off to watch it, with Brock close in the tow. Though Ash is disappointed, he reluctantly follows them. Max and May trace the fireworks to above Sootopolis City's brand new water-themed theatre, where the city's mayor and the Sootopolis [[Gym Leader]], [[Juan]], are busy commemorating the building. In honor of the occasion, Juan calls out his Pokémon, including among many others {{p|Milotic}}, {{p|Sealeo}}, {{p|Seaking}}, and {{p|Luvdisc}} to put on a performance for the crowd. May admires the artistry with his Pokémon take the stage, and comments that Juan could have been a great Coordinator.

Unfortunately, before the show can progress much further, the distinct ring of a {{p|Chimecho}} interrupts Juan's speech. He looks up for the source -- and, as it should so happen, none other than {{TRT}} have arrived on the scene. Though Juan mistakenly assumes that they must be artists (given the beautiful voice of James's Chimecho), Ash and friends soon clarify the situation for the Sootopolis Gym Leader. Team Rocket drops an electrified net from their balloon to ensnare and steal Juan's water-typed Pokémon. Ash offers to help Juan out of this sticky situation, but the Gym Leader refuses the aid, instead allowing his {{p|Gorebyss}} to use {{m|Safeguard}}, {{p|Barboach}} to use {{m|Mud Sport}}, and {{p|Tentacruel}} to use {{m|Mirror Coat}}, effectively countering the net's electric shock. Juan has Milotic break the net with {{m|Iron Tail}} and send Team Rocket blasting off with {{m|Twister}}, cutting the would-be theft short. When Juan thanks Ash and company for warning him, Ash challenges Juan to a Gym Battle on the spot. Juan accepts the challenge without hesitation.

After the performance and on the way to the Gym in Juan's personal boat, Ash and friends sit down with Juan for a cup of tea. May comments that in watching Juan's performance she felt like she was watching a Pokémon contest. Juan explains that he was a Coordinator before he became a Gym Leader. Juan reveals that he even won himself won a Ribbon Cup, the ultimate prize of the Grand Festival. Everyone present is extremely impressed, and Ash realizes he is facing a formidable opponent with experience from many different fields. Meanwhile, Juan reveals that his style of battling focuses on artistry and that he actually enjoys the water-Pokémon weakness against electric attacks because he enjoys tough challenges. When Max comments that Juan will be tough to beat, Ash cryptically responds that he has "a few 'ideals'" up his sleeve.

Ash and company arrive at the Sootopolis Gym and meet the butler and judge, {{ho|Sebastian}} who reveals the Sootopolis battlefield to be a large swimming pool. Sebastian further explains the complicated rules of the Gym -- the battle is 5 on 5, with the first round being a double battle, the second round being a series of three one-on-one battles. Brock explains that this gym is probably designed to test the challenger's ability to adapt to changing circumstances. Juan chooses {{p|Sealeo}} and {{p|Seaking}} to start the first round, while Ash begins his battle with {{AP|Pikachu}} and {{AP|Snorunt}}. Pikachu begins the round with a {{m|Thunderbolt}} against Sealeo. Juan uses Seaking's {{m|Horn Drill}} to deflect the Thunderbolt back against Snorunt, which takes the Thunderbolt directly. Ash directs a {{m|Thunder}} attach from Pikachu, which Seaking again deflects with its Horn Drill. Pikachu is ready for it this time, shielding Snorunt and taking the brunt of the deflected Thunder attack. Juan then orders a {{m|Blizzard}} attack from Sealeo. Ash has Snorunt retaliate with {{m|Icy Wind}}, somehow freezing the Blizzard into a boulder of ice. Juan's Pokémon destroy the frozen ball with Sealeo's {{m|Aurora Beam}} and Seaking's {{m|Hyper Beam}}, but Ash takes advantage of situation by order his Pokémon to leap across the trail of ice fragments. Pikachu closes with {{m|Iron Tail}} while Snorunt attacks with {{m|Headbutt}}. Juan counters with the much more powerful Aurora Beam and Hyper Beam. While Pikachu is able to break off his attack in time to dodge, Snorunt is hit by the Hyper Beam and faints. Ash calls out {{AP|Corphish}} to replace Snorunt. Corphish opens with a {{m|BubbleBeam}}, which Sealeo dodges by diving. Juan uses this opportunity to mount an underwater attack against Ash's Pokémon. Corphish is able to grab Seaking by the horn before it can attack, but Juan orders Seaking to use Horn Drill, which sends Corphish flying. Pikachu successfully uses Iron Tail on Seaking and narrowly dodges an Aurora Beam from Sealeo. Pikachu's attack leaves Seaking unable to battle.

Pikachu reappears a moment later "surfing" on Corphish. Juan orders several {{m|Ice Ball}}s, which Ash initially deflects with Corphish's {{m|Harden}} and {{m|ViceGrip}} and Pikachu's Iron Tail. Ash knows that Ice Ball becomes more powerful and takes longer to launch every time and so plans to move in the gap after the third ice ball. However, Sealeo launches the third ball extremely quickly and hits both Pikachu and Corphish. Juan orders a fifth Ice Ball as a coup de'grace, and is surprised when Pikachu is able to turn up the juice and destroy it with Thunder. As the shards of ice rain down on the distracted Sealeo, Corphish moves in with {{m|Crabhammer}}, which leaves Sealeo unable to battle. The Gym Match advances to the second round, with the field changing to a lake with several towers and more land. Meanwhile, elsewhere, Team Rocket is planning to disguise James as Juan...

Ash calls out his {{p|Grovyle}} and Juan chooses his {{p|Luvdisc}}. Grovyle immediately uses {{m|Bullet Seed}}, which Luvdisc dodges and counters with {{m|Water Pulse}}. Grovyle dodges and moves in with {{m|Leaf Blade}}, which Luvdisc then dodges and counters with {{m|Sweet Kiss}}. Grovyle is hit, and the episode ends with the effects of the Sweet Kiss still in question, and Ash's eighth and final Hoenn gym battle hinging on its effects.

This is to any admin that reads this: Is there any veracity to the forum thread about BW020? As far as I can tell there is not, but I could be wrong.

:Wait until the episode airs or a more verifiable source of information reveals spoilers. Bulbapedia has an airtight policy regarding rumors, and this is no exception, regardless of how legitimate the scans appear. My personal bet is that those are, in fact, real leaked scans, but there's no way to tell, so avoid including any information garnered from them in articles.

== Series Title Coincidence? ==

I don't know if it's true or not, but I noticed that the Best Wishes abbreviation is "BW" and it is for Black and White also abbreviated "BW". Is it just a coincidence? Thanks. —'''[[User:MasterKenobi|Master]][[User talk:MasterKenobi|Kenobi]]''' 17:22, 19 February 2011 (UTC)

== Screenshots for BW 22, 23, 24 ==

Um, yeah, so whoever uploaded the pics to the Archives for these three episodes, they are really blurry, and really do not look good. Is there any way that we can get some better quality pics uploaded, or barring that, just take them down? I don't know a whole heck of a lot about the Archives or how they work (actually practically nothing), so can someone take care of this? Please and thank you. --[[User:Jediknightdtv|ジェダイの騎士]][[User talk:Jediknightdtv|デジタルテレビ]] 21:20, 24 February 2011 (UTC)

{{spoilers}}

==Synopsis==
The episode starts off with {{Ash}} and {{ashfr}} setting up for dinner and {{MTR}} volunteers to look for firewood. Unbeknownst to them, a Dream Thief by the name of [[Leon]] is spying on them from a distance. He then sends out his {{p|Beheeyem}} to deceive them so that they may steal their Pokémon. While searching for firewood, Meowth meets Beheeyem who has plenty of firewood. Meowth brings it back with him and tells the gang that Beheeyeem is willing to give them anything they want. {{an|Cilan}} wishes for {{b|Figy}} berries to use in his dish instead of his {{b|Wiki}} berries and Beheeyem succeeds in fulfilling Cilan's wish. Beheeyem asks if there is anything else they want, and {{an|Iris}} suggests that Ash wish for the rest of his gym badges, to which he declines. Cilan then decides he'd like to sleep in a proper bed for the night, and Beheeyem leads them away from the camp.

As they wander into the wilderness, Beheeyem creates a hotel with its {{t|Psychic}} powers. The gang walks in but the hotel is empty, but Beheeyeem leads them to their room which is exactly as Cilan described it. The gang jump on the bed and instantly fall asleep. Later, a figure breaks through the window, startling everyone awake. They begin to apologize for barging in and beg for mercy, but that's when the figure identifies itself as [[Officer Jenny]] and switches on the lights. Jenny introduces her partner, {{p|Duosion}}, and informs them that they are inside a dream created by Beheeyem, and to notice if anything around them is missing. They immediately notice that {{AP|Pikachu}}, {{TP|Iris|Axew}}, and Meowth are missing, and have been stolen by Beheeyem. They chase Beheeyem down the hall, when they become blocked off by bars. Leon then appears and introduces himself as a Dream Thief, and then escapes. Officer Jenny explains that the only way to get out of the dream is to make everyone involved acknowledge that they are in a dream, and to strike an exit with a Psychic attack. Iris notices an exit, and Jenny has her Duosion hit it with {{m|Psywave}}.

They then find themselves outside, and Leon is tying their Pokémon up. Jenny battles against Leon, but with no avail and that's when Cilan notices that there are two moons, indicating that they are still dreaming. Ash and Iris then wake up Pikachu and Axew, but fail to wake up Meowth. Ash has Pikachu shock Meowth with {{m|Thunderbolt}}, and Duosion attacks another exit. Yet again they find themselves still in a dream when Leon appears from a UFO and flies away. Again they attempt to wake Meowth and exit the dream, but still Meowth insists on sleeping. Finally, after entering a dream with a giant Beheeyem, they hit Meowth with a combined Thunderbolt, {{m|Dragon Rage}}, and Psywave, as well as force feed Figy Berries to him which finally causes him to stay awake long enough for them to escape. Once out, Leon attempts to make his escape, only to be stopped by a cranky Meowth. Leon makes him an offer to become partners, but Meowth refuses after all he was just put through, and shreds Leon's clothes with {{m|Fury Swipes}}. With Leon finally in custody, Officer Jenny thanks the gang for their help and leaves. Meowth the realizes they should have asked Jenny to take them to the Pokémon Center, and they all groan at the realization.

Meanwhile in [[Nimbasa City]], [[Jessie]] and [[James]] are conducting a final test on their subway train when they're noticed by {{FB|Subway Boss|Emmet}} and {{FB|Subway Boss|Ingo}}. The pair then decide to investigate, stating it is their duty as Subway bosses to ensure the safety of the subway.

{{spoilers}}
== Synopsis ==
{{Ash}} and {{Ashfr|co.}} have finally returned to [[Mauville City]] for a pit stop on the way back to [[Petalburg City]]. Before they get ready to make any plans, [[Max]] notices a huge sign for an entrance to a carnival! They decide to check it out.

To their luck, it is open, so they check out the toy stand first, mainly full of Pokémon plushies, and it's run by two suspicious looking people in a {{p|Gengar}} and {{p|Tauros}} costume. May notices the ribbon case, and gets excited and wants to buy it. Unbeknownst to them, the people are really [[Team Rocket]].

Meanwhile, Ash and co send out all their Pokémon to play, and Ash's new {{TP|Ash|Torkoal}} {{m|Smog|smogs}} them up as a friendly greeting, but they don't seem too happy. Ash introduces them to it, and explains that it likes to do that a lot in a friendly manner, and not to worry about it. Torkoal does it again, and it reaches Team Rocket this time.

Next, they check out the soccer target game, where {{an|Brock}} scores a 10! The rest of them are about to take their turn, but then Ash notices his Torkoal standing right in front of the ball. It seems like it wants a shot at this! Ash is excited and ready to watch it go, but Max is a little concerned that it might mess up and trip, since its body is wide and its legs are pretty short. They all watch as Torkoal lifts its legs, gets ready to kick... but instead it falls over, landing on its back. Oh well, better luck next time.

Next, Brock has a go at the water targets. He uses the water gun that it supplies, but has {{TP|Brock|Lotad}} and {{TP|Brock|Mudkip}} help him with their {{m|Water Gun}}s. Max is having a shot at the ring toss game, with the help of {{TP|Ash|Pikachu}} and {{TP|May|Skitty}}. {{TP|Ash|Treecko}} and {{TP|Ash|Corphish}} are working on the ring-the-bell game, using Corphish's pincers and Treecko's tail, and Torkoal smogs them both again. {{an|May}} is playing a {{wp|Dance Dance Revolution|DDR}}-style game, with the help of {{TP|May|Torchic}}, {{TP|Brock|Forretress}}, {{TP|May|Beautifly}} and {{TP|Ash|Taillow}}. A silhouette of {{p|Meowth}} appears on the screens and shows them the moves. But it's not just a game; {{TRM|Meowth}} is standing behind the screen with a light behind him doing the moves. He pulls out a remote and presses a button.

The targets of the water target game suddenly shoot out a huge wave of water, and when it clears, Lotad and Mudkip are in a cage! The mallet for the ring-the-bell game is moving by itself in Ash's hands and it hits hard enough to ring the bell, sending a net down onto Corphish, Torkoal, and Treecko! The rings for the ring toss game also start moving, and they bind up Pikachu and Skitty! And finally, Meowth bursts through the screen and grabs Beautifly, Torchic, Taillow, and Forretress in a net! Jessie is thrilled, except about having to wear a Tauros suit.

Team Rocket recites their motto from their balloon, with all the Pokémon trapped in a net underneath it. Pikachu uses {{m|Thunderbolt}}, Forretress uses {{m|Rapid Spin}}, Torchic uses {{m|Ember}}, Corphish uses {{m|Crabhammer}}, Treecko uses {{m|Bullet Seed}}, Taillow uses {{m|Peck}}, Torkoal uses {{m|Flamethrower}}, Beautifly and Skitty use {{m|Tackle}}, and Lotad and Mudkip use Water Gun, but nothing damages the net at all. Team Rocket laughs about how their expensive net works so well and float off. The situation seems hopeless, but [[Wattson]] and {{an|Watt}} show up in the nick of time. Wattson's {{p|Electrike}}'s {{m|Thunder Wave}} does nothing, but Watt's {{p|Ampharos}} uses {{m|Iron Tail}} to cut the rope holding up the net. The net falls and all the Pokémon are safe, while [[Jessie]] yells at Meowth for not using a reinforced rope. Together, Wattson, Watt, and Ash have their Pokémon use Thunder Wave, {{m|ThunderShock}}, and Thunder, respectively, which become one massive beam of electricity that zaps Team Rocket even with their electricity protection. The balloon explodes and Team Rocket blasts off.

As everyone is admiring Watt's Ampharos, Wattson's Electrike suddenly evolves into {{p|Manectric}}! Everyone is happy for him, and Torkoal shows it by smoking them all. Ash and Wattson decide to have a battle between Torkoal and Manectric, and May and Watt decide to have a battle between Ampharos and Skitty. It's off to the Gym!

The gang immediately notices that the front of the Mauville Gym looks different than it did the last time they were there. Ash is about to open the front door, but Watt yells at him not to open it. Wattson tells them that the front of the building isn't the only thing that's changed. Everyone remembers the rollercoaster ride that they got after entering the door the first time they were there, and they're not too keen on repeating that experience, especially after Wattson says that the new traps are much better than before.

Inside the Gym, the first battle is between May and Watt. May starts off strong with Doubleslap followed by Tackle. Watt retaliates with ThunderShock, which Skitty dodges, but Ampharos redirects the attack and scores a hit. He follows up with Iron Tail, almost knocking Skitty out. However, it gets back up. Ampharos uses ThunderShock again, but right before it hits Skitty uses Assist. It gets Torchic's Quick Attack, and easily dodges the ThunderShock and hits Ampharos. It follows up with a Doubleslap and knocks Ampharos out, giving May the win!

Meanwhile, Team Rocket is standing outside the Gym. They know it must be full of powerful Pokémon, so they decide to steal them. They obliviously enter the front door, and find themselves on a roller coaster ride.

Ash and Wattson's battle begins. Torkoal uses Flamethrower, but Manectric dodges and hits with a Tackle. It doesn't do too much damage though, as both Pokémon are strong.

Team Rocket is still on the ride, which they are not enjoying at all. They decide to get off at the top, but before they can a hole opens up in the ground and they free fall a very long way into water.

Manectric uses Bite, but Torkoal uses Iron Defense and neither take any damage. Manectric uses Thunder Wave, but Torkoal uses Overheat. The attacks collide in midair, but Overheat is more powerful, so it pushes Thunder Wave back and scores a powerful hit on Manectric. Manectric didn't take too much damage and it still has plenty of energy left, and so does Torkoal.

Team Rocket is now on a small raft in the middle of a huge pool of water, being sucked into a whirlpool.

Torkoal uses Overheat again, and Manectric uses Charge. Overheat hits, but Manectric doesn't move. After Overheat, Torkoal uses Flamethrower, but Manectric still doesn't move. It finally finishes charging, and lets loose an extremely powerful Thunder Wave. Ash tries to counter with Overheat, but he already used it twice so it doesn't have much power left. Thunder Wave hits and knocks Torkoal out. Wattson is the winner.

Team Rocket is out of the water, but they go through a door into a room with three Raikou. They decide to capture them and sell them, so they send out Seviper and Cacnea.

Ash and friends say goodbye to Watt and Wattson. Watt tells May that there's an upcoming Pokémon Contest in Verdanturf Town, so the group decides to head there first. As the sun sets, they once again continue on, this time toward Verdanturf Town. The narrator comments on how Ash and May are anticipating the Badges and Ribbons they're on their way to win, as the camera pans up to a shot of the setting sun. Another typical ending...

...But wait! Team Rocket is still trying to catch the Raikou. Seviper uses {{m|Poison Tail}} on one, Cacnea uses {{m|Needle Arm}} on another, and Meowth uses {{m|Fury Swipes}} on the last one. Each attack chops off the Raikou's head. They were all robots! Of course, Team Rocket is upset, and it doesn't help when the Raikou explode. The episode ends with Team Rocket dejectedly blasting off again.

=== Pokémon Trainer's Choice ===
* Question: Trainers, which one of these Pokémon is the best choice to battle {{p|Manectric}}?
* Choices: {{p|Swampert}}, {{p|Larvitar}}, {{p|Torkoal}}
* Answer: Ok, trainers! If you chose {{p|Larvitar}}, you were right!

=== Errors ===
* While Larvitar is said in the Trainer's Choice to be the most effective against Manectric, it is actually as equally effective as Swampert, both being {{type2|Ground}}s.
* Ash's Torkoal was [[Fainting|knocked out]] by Wattson's Manectric's Thunder Wave. In the games, Thunder Wave does no damage and therefore couldn't replicate this effect.
* Team Rocket acted like they'd never seen a Torkoal before when commenting about Ash's Torkoal, even though they had tried to steal [[Flannery]]'s Torkoal just four episodes prior.

=== Dub edits ===
* In the European Portuguese dub, when Team Rocket battles against the three Raikou, James tells Cacnea to use {{m|Pin Missile}} and it uses Needle Arm instead.

'''A Family That Battles Together Stays Together!''' (Japanese: '''タケシ！ニビジムをすくえ！''' ''{{tt|Takeshi|Brock}}! Save {{tt|Nibi|Pewter}} Gym!'') is the first side story episode of [[Weekly Pokémon Broadcasting Station]]. It was first broadcast in Japan on December 3, 2002. When it was dubbed, it was the fifth episode of [[Pokémon Chronicles]], aired in the UK on June 8, 2005, and in the USA on June 24, 2006.
{{spoilers}}

== Synopsis ==
The episode begins where the fifth episode of the original series began so long ago. The narrator introduces Brock, as he looks over [[Pewter City]]. A mysterious man warns him to turn back, but Brock immediately recognizes {{ka|Flint}} and asks him what he is doing. Flint reminds Brock of the previous glory of the gym, but then implies that something has happened, specifically [[Lola|his mother]]. Flint takes Brock to the gym, which to his horror now contains a hedge!

Brock arrives home where he is met by all of his siblings. His mother, Lola, is putting up a piece of artwork that is apparently a {{p|Smeargle}} masterpiece, as she is becoming an art connoisseur. Brock recalls that the time he was there before she was studying astrological signs, and the time before that she was learning how to juggle yu-yu sticks. Brock comments that she is just being her usual bubbly self and that Flint may be overreacting, but Flint tells him to wait until he sees the inside of the Gym... the Gym now has a lake in it!

The {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} come to meet Brock, and while Brock is impressed with Lola's Pokémon, he tells her that it is a gym and not an aquarium. Flint says that he tried to stop her (having his {{p|Rhydon}} bring rocks from mountaintops into the gym, which were painted pink, and covering the lake with concrete, which Lola's {{p|Gyarados}} smashed to pieces), but he has now given up. Brock tells Flint that he is going to battle Lola for the Gym. Though his siblings tell Brock that there is no way that Flint's [[Rock (type)|Rock Pokémon]] can beat Lola's [[Water (type)|Water Pokémon]], Brock tells Flint about how {{AP|Pikachu}} beat {{TP|Brock|Onix|Steelix}}, since he has apparently forgotten.

Lola sends out {{p|Marill}}, while Flint sends out {{p|Golem}}. Golem starts out with an {{m|Earthquake}}. At first, it looks like it has worked, but then Marill turns it around with a {{m|Surf}} attack. This hits Golem, who starts drowning. Lola sends {{p|Blastoise}} to save it. Blastoise  helps Golem to recover, and Brock uses a hairdryer to speed up the process. [[Forrest]] is impressed by his knowledge of Pokémon. Lola tells Flint that he fought well, and they remember their first battle. Through this, they revive their love for each other. Brock is unimpressed, and still will not let the Gym become a Water Gym.

As Brock and his siblings prepare dinner, Flint and Lola remember the past in the Gym. Flint admits that he thought Lola was getting bored with him, but Lola tells him that he was the one thing that she never got bored of. Over dinner, Brock wants to talk about the Gym, but Flint and Lola are more interested in each other. They announce that the Gym will handle both types of Pokémon. It is Forrest that objects, telling them that they will turn the Gym into a laughing stock and then running off. Brock learns that Forrest wants to become the leader of the Gym when he grows up.

Brock finds Forrest sitting by a river. Forrest wants him to talk about the girls he has met, but Brock wants to talk about him. Forrest is now discouraged as the Gym is ruined and he will always lose to Water Pokémon. Brock vows that "tomorrow the Rock Pokémon will have their day."

The following morning, Flint shows Brock the new sign for the Gym, which Blastoise and Golem can't even hold up. Brock challenges Lola to a battle, stating that if he wins, she must take down her decorations, and the Water Pokémon will have to find another lake.

Inside the Gym, Brock sends out Onix, while Lola sends out {{p|Mantine}}. Onix appears at a disadvantage, perched on a tiny island of rock in the middle of the lake. However, Onix leaps straight up, then dives down into its perch, starting out with {{m|Dig}}. With the rock is destroyed, water floods into the new tunnel, which drains all of the water in the lake. Mantine flaps around, unable to move anywhere. Onix comes up underneath it which, while causing damage, allows Mantine to fly. It then launches a {{m|BubbleBeam}}, which Onix counters with {{m|Bind}}. Lola tries to get Mantine to use {{m|Confuse Ray}}, but it fails. However, another BubbleBeam does work. Onix lets go of Mantine, who goes into a third BubbleBeam, but Onix uses a Tail {{m|Slam}} which makes Mantine faint. The Pewter Gym remains a Rock-only gym, though Flint convinces the reluctant Brock to compromise and keep the color scheme.

Forrest congratulates Brock on his victory, and Brock assures him that he will be as good someday. On that note, he decides to give Onix to Forrest. Forrest promises to work to become a really strong {{pkmn|Trainer}}. Later, Brock is standing outside in his [[Hoenn]] clothes, which Lola has made for him. After a goodbye, Brock heads to Hoenn to meet up with {{Ash}} once more.

== Major events ==
*Brock leaves his {{TP|Brock|Onix|Steelix}}, {{TP|Brock|Geodude}}, and {{TP|Brock|Crobat}} with [[Forrest|his brother]], and changes his (own) clothes before leaving for [[Hoenn]] to meet up with {{Ash}}.

== Trivia ==
*Brock reads the title card.
*Lola is the only human to appear whose eyes can be seen.
*Interestingly, despite the fact that a [[SS002|later episode]] states that the PIA shuts down any and all Pokémon gyms that are "unsafe, unclean, and uncool", [[Pewter Gym]] seemed to avoid being shut down despite its failing at least two of these requirements (unsafe and uncool, as the gym's paint job wasn't good, and the water areas weren't safe for the {{type2|Rock}} Pokémon).

=== Errors ===
* When Brock tells Flint how {{Ash}} [[EP005|once]] managed to defeat his Onix with his {{AP|Pikachu}}, Flint asks how did he do that, even though Flint was the one who assisted Ash to power up his Pikachu so it was able defeat Onix.

=== Dub edits ===
*The dub also cuts out an 18-second scene in which Brock tells Forrest that [[Pokémon Breeder]]s get to learn about all the different types of Pokémon, which takes place during their conversation at the river.
*The dub portrays Forrest as being girl-crazy like Brock, while the original does not.
*Lola's hobbies are changed from ballroom dancing, gardening, and astronomical observation (original) to astrological signs, juggling yu yu sticks, and yodeling (dub).

{{spoilers}}

== Synopsis ==
When last seen, company arrives in the form of a Pokémon approaching them from the sky. The {{m|Flamethrower}} greeting is a dead giveaway that it is Ash's {{AP|Charizard}} . Charizard lands on Ash, licking his face as Ash says that it hasn't changed a bit. Charizard is quickly followed by {{jo|Liza}} and [[Charla]], who both Ash and Clair are acquainted with. Furthermore, it is also revealed that Liza and [[Clair]] were good childhood friends, and that Clair was already familiar with Charizard (as Liza occasionally brings the Charizard from [[Charicific Valley]] to the Holy Land to train), but hadn't known that Charizard once belonged to Ash. Clair also reveals that Charizard also has a romantic relationship with Charla, him being her bodyguard and "knight in shining armor". After Liza is briefed on their troubles with {{an|Team Rocket}} having stolen the Dragon Fang and tricking the Holy Land's Dragonite into assist them, Liza and Charizard pledge their assistance.

As they are towed in balloons through the Holy Land, they wonder why {{p|Dragonite}} would assist Team Rocket, unusual considering that the first Blackthorn Gym Leader had loved the Holy Land, and had dedicated his life in protecting it, and Dragonite had continued in doing the same. Meanwhile, Team Rocket manages to land near a shrine, where Dragonite implores them to eat in safety. Clair and company, in the meantime, are headed towards the same shrine - the Dragon Shrine, a shrine built as a dedication to the preservation of harmony between humans and Pokémon, as Team Rocket prepares to loot the contents while Dragonite is asleep. Within the shrine lies the Prayer Flame, a flame dedicated to the harmony that has been burning since the shrine was first built over 500 years ago. Though James tries to steal the golden bowl containing the Prayer Flame, his hands slip, and the flame spills out of the shrine, setting fire to the nearby landscape. Dragonite notices this, and turns on Team Rocket with a {{m|Hyper Beam}}, even as the Flame burns out of control.

Ash and company reach the scene just as Dragonite is hit by its own Hyper Beam (thanks to {{TP|Jessie|Wobbuffet}}'s {{m|Counter}}), and manage to save Team Rocket from another Hyper Beam. Clair sends out {{p|Dragonair}} to put out the out-of-control fire, while Liza, along with Misty and Brock (with Charla, {{TP|Brock|Onix}}, {{TP|Brock|Geodude}}, {{TP|Misty|Staryu}}, and {{TP|Misty|Politoed}}) try to save the Pokémon trapped in the fires. As Kaburagi takes back the Dragon Fang box from Team Rocket, Clair tries to reason with Dragonite, but to no avail - Dragonite fires a Hyper Beam on it, which was only partially deflected by Charizard's {{m|Flamethrower}}. Kaburagi, seeing this, realizes that Dragonite is in a {{m|Outrage|state of attack rage}} - wherein it cannot stop itself from attacking. Pikachu tries to calm down Dragonite with a {{m|Thunder}}, but Dragonite easily knocks it down. Ash catches Pikachu, and is in turn saved from Dragonite's attack by Charizard.

As to why Dragonite would enter the attack rage, James is forced to come clean with having stolen the Prayer Flame. Kaburagi is set in charge of restoring the shrine, just as Charizard and Dragonite battle it out. Charizard opens with a Flamethrower, to which Dragonite responds with a Hyper Beam at Ash. Dragonair intercepts the attack with {{m|Safeguard}}, as Ash and Clair agree to battle together to rein in Dragonite. After exchanging Hyper Beams (and Charizard nearly missing an attempt at {{m|Seismic Toss}}), Clair realizes that taking turns throwing attacks at it will not help at all. Formulating a plan, Dragonair calls upon thunder clouds while Charizard manages to keep Dragonite stationary, allowing Pikachu to get in a Thunder attack that makes its mark on Dragonite. However, when Dragonite tries to break free with another Hyper Beam, Charizard uses {{m|Fire Spin}} to contain the attack, which explodes in Dragonite's face, sending it plummeting into the water.

As everyone regroups together, Dragonite emerges from the water, its attack rage gone. Finally in a conscious state, it examines the damage it had caused and weeps. As it is consoled by the other Pokémon living in the area, Misty and Kaburagi tells them to leave, but Kaburagi quickly realizes that they had taken the Dragon Fang from the box. One Thunderbolt attack later, and the Dragon Fang slips from James' hand, and Team Rocket is sent flying. Ash recovers the Dragon Fang, while Geodude manages to recover the Prayer Flame.

Later, back at the Gym, Ash and company agree to start a new Gym Battle the next day, as Charizard gives Ash a 'lucky' Flamethrower to the face.

* The {{wp|Magna Pacific}} DVD release for this episode incorrectly uses [[Pokémon Johto]] as the opening/closing theme.
** However [[Kids' WB!|some]] [[Toonami Jetstream|networks]] did originally air this episode with [[Pokémon Johto]] as the theme.

=== Errors ===
* It is stated that Sudowoodo must have been able to use moves such as {{m|Low Kick}} and {{m|Faint Attack}} due to {{m|Mimic}}; however, Sudowoodo is capable of learning those moves naturally.
* In one scene [[Ash's Noctowl]]'s outer circle around it's eye is Black instead of light brown.

'''A Dairy Tale Ending''' (Japanese: '''ミルタンク！リベンジバトル！！''' ''Miltank! Revenge Battle!!'') is the 159th episode of the [[Pokémon anime]]. It was first broadcast in Japan on August 10, 2000 and in the United States on August 18, 2001.
{{spoilers}}
== Synopsis ==
{{Incomplete synopsis}}

After {{Ash}}'s Pokémon recover, [[Whitney]] takes the group to spend a day at her uncle's dairy. But Ash only has one thing on his mind: How can he defeat her seemingly unstoppable {{p|Miltank}}? Everyone is in the farmhouse enjoying a cool glass of milk, as [[Jessie]], [[James]] and {{MTR}} take their chances at raiding the pantry for all the dairy produce they can get their hands on. However they are soon discovered by Whitney, and, grabbing all the food they can carry, they run off. Ash gives chase, and {{AP|Pikachu}} attacks the Rockets, causing them to drop the stolen food, which is caught by {{an|Brock}}, {{an|Misty}} and [[Milton]]. Jessie and James send out {{p|Arbok}} and {{p|Weezing}}, and Whitney sends out Miltank. Miltank hits the Rockets with a {{m|Rollout}} and sends them flying.

Later the group are brushing the farm's Miltank, but the one Ash is brushing decides to walk away. Ash grabs its tail, and it responds by kicking him into a fence. Afterwards, Milton shows the group the milking machine.

As Whitney is practicing her Miltank's Rollout, Ash recalls how it made short work of his Pokémon in their earlier Gym battle. Whitney's training is cut short, however, by Team Rocket, who return in a giant rolling barrel. They recite their motto, and use arms which sprout from the ends of the barrel to grab Miltank and Pikachu as the group run away from the barrel, which appears to have its own Rollout attack. Ash turns to face the barrel, and sends out {{AP|Cyndaquil}}, which attacks with {{m|Skull Bash}}, stopping the advance. Ash then uses {{AP|Totodile}}'s {{m|Water Gun}} to carve trenches in the hill, which cause the barrel to bounce and shake so violently that James snaps the control levers, dropping Miltank and Pikachu. Pikachu launches a Thundershock which causes the barrel to explode, sending Team Rocket flying.

Ash and Whitney agree to another battle, with Ash's Cyndaquil, Totodile and Pikachu against Whitney's Miltank. Ash starts with Cyndaquil, but it is quickly defeated by Miltank's Rollout. Next Ash uses Totodile, and again has it use Water Gun to dig trenches in the ground. Totodile then launches itself into the air with another Water Gun, and lands on top of Miltank. However Whitney orders Miltank to shake it off, and it does, before hitting it with its Rollout. Ash returns Totodile to its Poké Ball before it even hits the ground. Finally, Ash sends out Pikachu, and orders it to use {{m|Agility}}. Pikachu's speed of moving around causes Miltank to hit some of the trenches in its attempts to attack. As Miltank comes round for another attack, Pikachu positions itself in the bottom of one of the trenches, and as Miltank rolls over the top, Pikachu tosses it into the air. Pikachu uses ThunderShock on the airborne Miltank, and wins the match. Whitney offers Ash the {{Badge|Plain}} and he is surprised, as he has not won an even battle against her, but Milton says something to him, and he accepts it.

== Trivia ==
* The Miltank dairy may be based on the [[MooMoo Farm]] in the {{gameabbrev|ga|Gold|Silver}}{{gameabbrev|mes|Crystal}}, though that is found to the west of {{rt|38|Johto}} while the dairy in this episode is located just outside [[Goldenrod City]].
* Strangely, [[Whitney]]'s {{p|Clefairy}} does not appear in this episode despite it being constantly by her side in [[EP158|the previous episode]].
* The English title is a pun of the phrase, "''a fairy tale ending''".
*The book ''[[Winner Takes All]]'' is based on this episode.
*This episode is featured on the ''Crash of the Dairy'' volume of the High Voltage Collection series, a series of select Johto League Champions episodes on VHS.
* In [[EP158|the previous episode]] [[Goldenrod Gym|Whitney's Gym]] states the [[Gym Leader]] will be back tomorrow, yet as this is the next day, Whitney is not at her gym but at the Miltank dairy.

=== Errors ===
* Nurse Joy remarks about how well Ash's Totodile and Pikachu fared against Whitney compared to other trainers' Pokémon. She left out mention of Cyndaquil, even though all three were shown recovering.
* When Whitney tells Ash that one Miltank hates having its tail grabbed, her socks disappear.
* When Whitney and her Miltank train on a hill, Miltank uses Rollout down the hill, but appears to be spinning in the opposite direction. When it goes back up the hill, its spin is the same.

Burgh debuted in [[BW018]]. He first appears in [[Pinwheel Forest]] when {{Ash}} and {{an|Iris}} climb the tallest tree in the forest, and they were surprised to find Burgh in a cocoon-like cloak, hanging from the tree. He introduces himself to the gang and shows them his sketches of the forest. Suddenly a {{AP|Sewaddle}}, who has taken a liking to Burgh, jumps up on his shoulder. He tells the trio that the Sewaddle had been accompanying him through the forest, even though it is not his Pokémon.

The next day, Burgh and the kids discover an ill {{p|Patrat}}, and he is able to heal it with some medicine. Suddenly Sewaddle is attached to a {{p|Deerling}} and falls into a raging river along with Ash. Burgh sends out his {{p|Leavanny}}, which uses {{m|String Shot}} to save them. Sewaddle's leaf on its head is damaged, but Leavanny fashions it a new one. Later, Burgh says his goodbyes to the group.

Burgh appears once more in [[BW022]]. He and the group investigate mysterious sounds coming from the sewer system in [[Castelia City]]. They discover and injured {{p|Venipede}} who {{status|poison}}s Ash after he rescued it from a pipe. Burgh quickly makes a remedy for him and bandages the Venipede's wounds. When the group returns to the surface, they find that a swarm of Venipede is reeking havoc on the city.

Burgh becomes somewhat angry to find out that [[Mayor of Castelia City|the mayor]] plans to get rid of the Venipede using force and protests the idea. The mayor eventually decides to let him handle it. His idea was to find the leader of the Venipede and have [[Nurse Joy]]'s {{TP|Nurse Joy|Audino}} use {{m|Heal Pulse}} on it. He, Ash, and {{an|Iris}} eventually locate the leader only to see it be attacked by [[Trip]] and his {{p|Lampent}}. Burgh orders him to stop and tells him that he is only making things worse.

Once Nurse Joy's Audino uses Heal Pulse on the leader, Burgh plays his {{wp|ocarina}} and leads the Venipede out of the City. He sees Ash and his friends off at the end of the episode when they decided to go with [[Professor Juniper]] to investigate the [[Desert Resort]].

Ash will battle him in [[BW025]].

Burgh sends Leavanny out and tells it to use {{m|String Shot}}, which saves them. It later fashioned leaves to place on the head of Sewaddle after its last head-cover had been ruined by the river.

It will battle Ash in [[BW025]].

Leavanny's only known move is {{m|String Shot}}.}}

==Trivia==
* Shibirudon and its {{p|Shibishirasu|evolutionary}} {{p|Shibibiru|relatives}} are the only Pokémon to have no weaknesses that are not {{2t|Ghost|Dark}}. However, this is due to their ability, {{a|Levitate}}, which eliminates their sole weakness to the {{t|Ground}} type.
** This, by extension, means they are the only Pokémon with no weaknesses that is a single type, and can be invincible if given {{a|Wonder Guard}}.
** Also, they are the only Pokémon to have no weaknesses that have evolutionary relatives.
** Shibirudon has the highest base stat total of all Pokémon with no weaknesses.
* Despite being based on marine animals, Shibirudon and its evolutionary relatives are not {{type|Water}}, nor can they learn any Water-type moves other than {{m|Rain Dance}}.
* Despite its Pokédex entry claiming it discharges electricity through its teeth, it cannot learn {{m|Thunder Fang}}.

===Origin===
Shibirudon and its evolutionary relatives may be based on {{wp|electric eels}}, {{wp|lamprey}}s, {{wp|jawless fish}} and possibly {{wp|leeches}}. The fact that it is Electric-type may be an allusion to {{wp|bioluminescence}}.

====Name origin====
Its name is likely a combination of 痺れ ''shibire'', numbness, and ''don'', a title of respect usually prefixed to Christian names in Spanish and Italian (similar to English lord). "-don" may also refer to the Latin suffix for tooth, referring to its large teeth.

Empoleon9:

[[File:Early anime film frame.jpg|thumb|230px|Early anime film frame from 1996]]
The '''Pokémon anime''', often referred to as just "the anime" by Pokémon fans, is a collective term referring to currently {{#expr: {{PAGESINCATEGORY:Original series episodes}} - 8 + {{PAGESINCATEGORY:Advanced Generation series episodes}} - 6 + {{PAGESINCATEGORY:Diamond & Pearl series episodes}} - 5 + {{PAGESINCATEGORY:Best Wishes series episodes}}}} main series episodes, 13 movies, and a number of side-story episodes, all focusing on [[Pokémon]]. A great majority of these focus on [[Ash Ketchum]], a [[Pokémon Trainer]] from [[Pallet Town]], and his journey toward his ultimate goal of being a [[Pokémon Master]], his many friends, and most especially his Pokémon, who he considers his partners and friends.

Though the anime is ultimately based upon the {{pkmn|games}} and draws heavily from them, many concepts which are only touched on the games are spun in a unique way, and expanded on.

The anime is now broadcast in 74<ref>http://www.andriasang.com/e/blog/2009/10/12/pokemon_stats/</ref> different countries, many times being {{cat|Pokémon around the world|dubbed}} into other languages for different locales.

==Overview==
From the [[EP001|very first episode]], Ash has been the central character, making his goal of becoming a Pokémon Master known to all he meets. Though initially, he only became a Pokémon Trainer with the goal of beating his rival, [[Gary Oak]], the many Pokémon Ash has met over his journey have shown him what being a Pokémon Master really is. Unlike most Trainers from Pallet, and indeed, unlike players of {{game2|Red|Green|Blue}} and {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}}, Ash did not start his journey with {{p|Bulbasaur}}, {{p|Charmander}}, or {{p|Squirtle}}, as he arrived late to {{an|Professor Oak}}'s lab to receive his [[starter Pokémon]]. Instead, Ash was given the only Pokémon Oak had left to give, a {{AP|Pikachu}} that did not enjoy being inside its Poké Ball, and from there Ash learned to treat his Pokémon as partners, earning Pikachu's trust by keeping it safe from a flock of {{p|Spearow}} he angered.

Since then, Ash has journeyed across all five of the regions that appear in the [[main series]] games, as well as the [[Orange Archipelago]], a "filler region" he visited to hold off the beginning of his journey in [[Johto]] until closer to the release of {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}. In each, he battles against the native [[Gym Leader]]s for their [[badge]]s, as do Trainers in the main series games, to compete in the regional [[Pokémon League]], a tournament, rather than five battles straight against the [[Elite Four]] and {{pkmn|Champion}}. While his initial strategy was to continue using the same party over the course of his journey, letting some Pokémon go when they were required to do something or wanted to train, he has, since his journey in Hoenn, changed strategy, and now uses only those Pokémon which he has caught in the region, alongside Pikachu, to battle against Gym Leaders, with his explanation to Dawn being that he wants to prove to the young, unevolved Pokémon he meets in each new region that ''they'' can win if they try.

Over the course of the series, Ash has had several {{AP|friends}} who travel with him, typically across one region, who assist him in his journey as much as he assists in theirs. {{an|Misty}}, the Gym Leader from [[Cerulean City]] in the games, joins him in the [[original series]], as does {{an|Brock}}, [[Pewter City]]'s Gym Leader, in [[Kanto]], [[Johto]], [[Hoenn]], and [[Sinnoh]]. [[Tracey Sketchit]], an amateur [[Pokémon Watcher]], joins Ash during his Orange Archipelago journey, but leaves him on Ash's return to Pallet to become an assistant to Professor Oak, his hero. {{an|May}} and {{an|Dawn}}, rookie {{pkmn|Coordinator}}s, join Ash for the duration of the {{series2|Advanced Generation}} and {{series|Diamond & Pearl}}, respectively; in these he mentors them much as Brock and Misty did him, while [[Max]], May's brother, who is too young to own Pokémon, looks up to Ash for the duration of the ''Advanced Generation'' series.

The anime is produced in Japan, and airs on [[TV Tokyo]] nearly every Thursday at 7 PM, as it has since the [[EP038|Porygon incident]] was resolved (it aired on Tuesdays at the same time prior to this). Many fans consider the dialog and events mentioned in the Japanese version to be the "true canon", while the various dubs are regarded to be overridden if something stated in them differs from something said in a Japanese episode.

In Japan, the anime is divided into four [[series]]: [[Original series|Pocket Monsters]], [[Advanced Generation series|Pocket Monsters Advanced Generation]], [[Diamond & Pearl series|Pocket Monsters Diamond & Pearl]] and [[Best Wishes series|Pocket Monsters Best Wishes]]. Outside of it, these four series are further divided into [[season]]s spanning roughly 52 episodes, and currently {{cat|Anime seasons|numbering thirteen}}. The show is mainly aimed at children, and as such, mature topics such as death are not often brought up, though sometimes they appear in movies. There are generally some references meant for adults, though these are kept to a minimum especially outside of Japan.

==Movies==
{{main|Pokémon movie}}
Since 1998 in Japan, and since 1999 in the US, a Pokémon movie has been released annually, most often focusing on a legendary Pokémon. These movies are almost always a large success in Japan, and remain at least somewhat successful in the US and other countries, having been aired on Cartoon Network as a special since [[M09|the ninth movie]], and having theatrical releases during the first five seasons.

The movies are not considered by all Pokémon fans to be canon to the show, with some preferring to think of them occurring in an alternate timeline. This theory comes from the fact that Ash and his friends do not seem to be profoundly affected in the show by the events of the movies. Many, however, see the movies as being akin to [[filler episode]]s, as none of their [[party|parties]] change, and no [[Gym Leader]]s are defeated nor [[Contest]]s won. This is presumably the correct interpretation, as not only have most of the events of the movies been referenced at least peripherally in the show, but also, several of the events of even ''major'' episodes have been forgotten by the writers of later episodes.

==Trivia==
* Animator Masāki Iwane 岩根正明 [[n:Masaaki Iwane: Pokémon anime originally slated for 18-month run|once stated]] that the series was originally slated for a 1½-year run, which corresponds approximately to the length of the [[Kanto]] region [[Pokémon: Indigo League|saga]] (had it not been delayed due to [[EP038|the Porygon incident]]). Due to its popularity during the run, however, the show was extended and continues to be one of the longest running video game based anime.
* During the early episodes of the anime, Japanese text was seen quite frequently on signs and buildings as well as objects. This usually resulted in the dubbed versions painting out the text or converting it to their respective languages. In more recent episodes, the animators have replaced the Japanese text with made-up symbols that would be universal to all languages so that it would not have to be edited for each country it aired in.

'''Giovanni''' (Japanese: '''サカキ''' ''Sakaki'') is the head of [[Team Rocket]], and formerly served as the [[Gym Leader]] of [[Viridian City]]'s {{pkmn|Gym}}, known officially as the [[Viridian Gym]]. He handed out the {{badge|Earth}} to {{pkmn|Trainer}}s who defeated him. As a Gym Leader, he specialized in {{type2|Ground}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, but his master plan includes collecting rare Pokémon of all [[elemental types|types]]. He is the only character in the games to have the [[Trainer class]] '''Boss''' (Japanese: '''ロケットだんボス''' ''Team Rocket Boss''). In the English Generation IV games, his Trainer class is '''Rocket Boss'''.

==In the games==
[[File:Sugimorigiovannioriginal.png|thumb|left|Art of Giovanni from {{game|Red and Blue|s}}]]
[[File:Red Blue Giovanni.png|thumb|Full art of Giovanni from [[Generation I]]]]
Giovanni is the primary antagonist of the games taking place in Kanto.

In the [[Generation I|first games]] Giovanni appeared in, he served a dual role: one that was well-known to the residents of Kanto, and one that was more secret. He was first shown as the leader of the villainous [[Team Rocket]], the first of many [[villainous teams|criminal organizations]] to grace the Pokémon games. After he and his team of Grunts were defeated at [[Silph Co.]] by a {{ga|Red|ten-year-old boy}}, Giovanni fled to a hideout that his antagonist was unaware of. Once the player returned to Viridian City, one of the major plot twists of these games revealed that Giovanni, in addition to his role as a criminal, was the final Gym Leader to be fought before the [[Elite Four]]—albeit one without a formal title. He specializes in the {{type2|Ground}}. Once defeated, he disbanded his Team and left the player with the {{badge|Earth}} and {{TM|27|Fissure}}. He then vanishes, and is not seen again.

Giovanni's role in {{game|FireRed and LeafGreen|s}} is much the same; the one difference is that defeating him in the Gym Battle will earn the player {{TM|26|Earthquake}}, instead of TM27 (Fissure). There is a side-plot in the [[Sevii Islands]] that revolves around Giovanni; a group of Rockets is trying to continue the aims of Team Rocket, but they stop when they realize that their Leader has been defeated once and for all.

In {{game5|Gold|Silver|Crystal|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, another group of Rockets tries to relaunch the old Team. They take over [[Goldenrod Radio Tower]], and broadcast a radio announcement intended for him. Only in HeartGold and SoulSilver is it revealed that Giovanni does hear the broadcast from his hideout in [[Tohjo Falls]]. An event involving a time-traveling {{p|Celebi}} allows {{ga|Ethan}} and {{ga|Lyra}} to travel back in time and defeat Giovanni at the same time the rest of Team Rocket is being defeated. Like before, once defeated, Giovanni will disappear.

The Celebi event also reveals some of Giovanni's background from the three years between Generation I/III and Generation II/IV. While it was mentioned in FireRed and LeafGreen that Giovanni has a son with red hair, the son's identity wasn't revealed until the time-travel event in HeartGold and SoulSilver. As many fans speculated (and as was mentioned in the ''[[Pokémon Adventures]]'' manga series), this son is the rival of the Johto player character, {{ga|Silver}}. Much of Silver's personality is a result of the treatment he received from Giovanni, which includes abandonment. Like many of Giovanni's other actions throughout the games, this reflects on his selfishness.

''"Ha! That was a truly intense fight! You have won! As proof, here is the Earth Badge! Having lost, I cannot face my underlings! Team Rocket is finished forever! I will dedicate my life to the study of Pokémon. Let us meet again someday! Farewell!"''

====[[Pokémon FireRed and LeafGreen Versions]]====
*First battle:
''"So! I must say, I am impressed you got here. Team Rocket captures Pokémon from around the world. They're important tools for keeping our criminal enterprise going. I am the leader, Giovanni! For your insolence, you will feel a world of pain!"''

''"What! This can't be!"''

*Second battle:
''"Ah, <nowiki>[</nowiki>{{Player}}'s name<nowiki>]</nowiki>! So we meet again! The president and I are discussing a vital business proposition. Keep your nose out of grown-up matters... Or experience a world of pain!"''

''"Arrgh!! I lost again!? Blast it all! You ruined our plans for Silph! But Team Rocket will never fall! [player's name], Never forget that all Pokémon exist for Team Rocket! I must go, but I shall return!"''

*Gym battle:
''"Fwahahaha! This is my hideout! It shall be so until I can restore Team Rocket to its former glory. But, you have found me again. So be it. This time, I'm not holding back! Once more, you shall face Giovanni, the greatest Trainer!"''

''"Ha! That was a truly intense fight. You have won! As proof, here is the Earth Badge!"''

''"Having lost in this fashion, I can't face my followers. I have betrayed their trust. As of today, Team Rocket is finished forever! As for myself, I shall dedicate my life to training again. Let us meet again someday! Farewell!"''

'''Tohjo Falls'''
*Before battle:
''"... I don't know why you have come here. Anyway, I have to warn you that this is not a place for kids like you."''

''"You have a certain look... It reminds me of {{ga|Red|the kid who stood in front of me three years ago}}... You have the same eyes... I'm on my way to [[Goldenrod City]] to answer the call and join my team. Are you going to get in my way?"''

(After hearing Team Rocket's broadcast)

''"My old associates need me... We will not repeat the failure of three years ago! [[Team Rocket]] will be born again, and I will rule the world!"''

*After sending out last Pokémon:
''"What in the world was that? Don't tell me some inexperienced kid can possibly be that strong!"''

*When defeated:
''"What in the world are you?"''

*After being defeated:
''"How this is possible...? The past three years have been a waste... How can a kid like you manage to destroy my dream once again? The precious dream of Team Rocket has become more than an illusion..."''

==In the anime==
[[File:Giovanni.png|left|thumb|200px|Giovanni]]
While Giovanni very rarely takes the role of antagonist, his agents often have him in mind during missions due to the chance of power, be it through promotion or other means. This gave him a unique series of appearances, mainly during the Hoenn saga, where Meowth often saw how the Pokémon in each episode could be used to help Giovanni and win the trio promotions. These [[Boss fantasy|boss fantasies]] never show his actual personality and occasionally even show Giovanni in {{wp|Super deformed|chibi}} form.
[[File:Domino and Giovanni.png|right|thumb|200px|Giovanni, [[Domino]], and the Rocket grunts]]

His first appearance was in the episode ''[[EP015|Battle Aboard the St. Anne]]'', choosing a {{TP|Giovanni|Persian}} as his "top cat" over {{MTR}}, and talking to [[Jessie]], [[James]], and Meowth through a TV screen. His face always remained hidden in the shadows, usually with only his mouth visible. In ''[[EP017|Island of the Giant Pokémon]]'', it is revealed that he owns the theme park, Pokémon Land, and the giant mechanical Pokémon in it, and was not happy to hear that it had been destroyed.

Up until his appearance in the episode ''[[EP063|The Battle of the Badge]]'', his voice was altered with an effect that made it sound as if there were two people speaking at once. No canonical reason is given, though it can be inferred that he was intended to be mysterious, as in the original games, where it is not outright revealed that Giovanni, the Team Rocket boss, is the Viridian Gym Leader until late in the game. As this episode corresponds to the point at which players of the games would discover that the two were the same, Giovanni finally steps out of the shadows, revealing his face in a battle against [[Gary Oak]], and defeating him utterly using his {{an|Mewtwo}}.

Unrevealed events in the episode caused Giovanni to abdicate his position as the Viridian Gym Leader, handing the Earth Badge to the Team Rocket trio that constantly follows Ash. Through a combination of their own incompetence and Ash's willpower to win the Earth Badge, the Viridian Gym was destroyed at the end of the episode. Due to this, and perhaps other circumstances, Giovanni permanently resigned as Viridian's Gym Leader, as [[Agatha]] of the [[Kanto]] [[Elite Four]] has taken over the Gym temporarily when Ash next returns to Viridian City after his journey in Hoenn.

[[File:Giovanni BW.png|left|thumb|200px|Artwork of Giovanni from the {{series|Best Wishes}}]]
Giovanni appears not to care for his Pokémon aside from Persian, as they are all locked away in cages when not used for a Gym battle.

In the episode ''[[EP065|Showdown at the Po-ké Corral]]'', Giovanni's building was blown up by Mewtwo. He and his Persian survived the explosion and angrily told Jessie, James, and Meowth to do their job (ironically they were about to quit).

Giovanni also appeared near the beginning of the movie, ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]'', as he was the one who had [[Dr. Fuji]] clone Mewtwo for him. After Mewtwo destroyed the lab, Giovanni told Mewtwo that he saw him as a valuable partner, putting armor on Mewtwo and using him to defeat Trainers in gym battles (including Gary's Nidoking and Arcanine, as seen in the anime) and help Team Rocket in their attempts to steal Pokémon. Eventually Mewtwo confronts Giovanni about his treatment and Giovanni admits that he doesn't consider Mewtwo a partner but a servant. This enrages Mewtwo and it is this incident which drives it to destroy Giovanni's base allowing it to escape.

Giovanni is the main antagonist in the movie ''[[Mewtwo Returns]]'', seeking out Mewtwo, who by this time is living in peace with the cloned Pokémon at [[Mt. Quena]]. Once Giovanni discovered it, he tried to recapture it by threatening the cloned Pokémon. He used two machines to try to make Mewtwo submit to his will, but though Mewtwo stepped into the orb, it was still unwilling to serve Giovanni, threatening to destroy his body first. Ash and the others were able to stop the machines, and it was around this time that they faced off against Giovanni and several Team Rocket soldiers. Their Pokémon fought as a distraction so Ash could get Mewtwo into the spring. Once Mewtwo was healed from its injuries, it moved the spring under the mountain to protect it, and then erased the memories of Giovanni and the other Team Rocket soldiers (excluding Jessie, James, and Meowth) of it, making him forget entirely about Mewtwo. Standing next to [[Domino]] and Persian wondering what they were doing, he gets the strange feeling as though he has been utterly defeated.

With the beginning of the ''[[Best Wishes]]'' series Giovanni has taken on a far more significant and atagonistic role than before. He is now in regular contact with Jessie, James and Meowth and assigns them on various missions throughout the [[Isshu]] region.

The only time Giovanni has been seen in battle was in ''[[EP063|The Battle of the Badge]]''. He used powerful Pokémon against Gary but later left the Gym to deal with an unexplained emergency, leaving Ash to battle Jessie. By the time Ash returned from Hoenn, [[Agatha]] was in charge of the Gym until a new leader could be found. Giovanni's reasons for leaving it have not been explained.

Very little is known about his past in any timeline; he is generally shrouded in mystery. [[Madame Boss|His mother]] was the head of Team Rocket before him. However, this is presumed to be [[canon]] in the {{pkmn|anime}} timeline only, as the {{pkmn|games}} have no precedent for this.

==In the manga==
===[[Pokémon Adventures]]===
[[File:Giovanni FRLG Adventures.png‎|thumb|right|Giovanni in the fifth chapter]]
In Pokémon Adventures, Giovanni serves much the same role as he does in the games, although he now has [[Lt. Surge]], [[Sabrina]], and [[Koga]] as subordinates. However, Giovanni is much more ruthless, as in one chapter, he uses his {{p|Cloyster}} to break two {{p|Magmar}} in half.

He is first seen traveling with Red under the guise of a friendly researcher of to study fossils, but his real intent is to study Red after he defeated [[Koga]] and [[Lt. Surge]]. While watching him battle against two Magmar he notes that Red is not much of a planner but is shows a lot of courage and ingenuity, but was put off when Red wouldn't finish the Magmar after he incapacitated them. He sent Red off with an [[Old Amber]] and finishes off the Magmar himself.

He attempts to create a super-powerful Pokémon by combining {{p|Moltres}}, {{p|Zapdos}}, and {{p|Articuno}} into a [[Zapmolcuno|single Pokémon]]. This was thwarted by the efforts of {{adv|Red}}, {{adv|Green}}, and {{adv|Blue}}, he was not known to be behind this and it was still unknown that he was the Leader yet. He then appears to Red when he enters the [[Viridian Gym]] and challenges Red with a catch, if Giovanni wins Red has to join Team Rocket. Giovanni lost after an intense battle making Red use techniques involving the trainer and not just the Pokémon battling.

He later provides some minor assistance to the fight against the [[Elite Four]] on [[Cerise Island]]. He helps Red escape from [[Lorelei]]'s ice and provides him with some [[evolutionary stone]]s for his [[Vee|Eevee]]. Giovanni then comes to Yellow's side as she was struggling in her battle with Lance, telling her that he is from the [[Viridian Forest]] as well. However going to Cerise Island did almost as much harm as help, as coming there gave Lance the one Gym Badge that he did not have so he could call upon {{p|Lugia}} with the Badge Energy Amplifier the Elite Four took from the rubble of [[Silph Co.]]. After the battle Giovanni then informs Koga and the others (Sabrina and Lt. Surge) to lay low until a more suitable time comes to revive [[Team Rocket]].

Giovanni has recently resurfaced in the [[Sevii Islands]], apparently pursuing {{p|Deoxys}}. He even has a new set of henchmen, [[The Three Beasts]]. {{adv|Silver}} is revealed to be Giovanni's son, but was kidnapped by the [[Masked Man]] at the age of two. Giovanni's master plan apparently includes {{adv|Silver}} taking over Team Rocket from him.

However, his plan is later revealed to just wanting to find and reunite with his son and see him grown up before Giovanni dies (he has some sort of illness, although it is never explained what it is). When Silver and Giovanni found themselves in the flames of a wreckage at one point, Giovanni used his own body to protect the unconscious boy from the fire. At first, Silver denied that Giovanni could possibly be his father, and then would not accept him as a father. However, after he saw how Giovanni put his own life at stake to save him, Silver broke down in tears and accepted him as his father. From this point on, Giovanni is presumably not the leader of Team Rocket any more, and is succeeded by the Three Beasts member Carr. His last known location is one of Silver's secret bases, where Silver sent him so he could recover from his injuries.

When he was still the Viridian Gym Leader, Giovanni had obtained the nickname "Giovanni Of The Land" because all his Pokémon were {{type2|Ground}}s, save his Cloyster and Beedrill. Beedrill's exception is clear, as it was caught at Giovanni's birthplace (in the Viridian Forest; so Giovanni prides it especially), but Cloyster's is hard to trace, as it does not appear to have any connection to Giovanni's past.

Giovanni wrote a book on the research of Ground-type Pokémon called ''Mysteries of the Earth'' that is currently in Blue's possession. The book contains detailed information on Ground-type Pokémon not known by anyone else. For instance, Giovanni was the first to discover Rhydon {{p|Rhyperior|could evolve}}.

In battle, Giovanni kicks his [[Poké Ball]]s, much like {{adv|Crystal}}, in order to be able to react faster.

==Trivia==
* In the {{pkmn|games}}, Giovanni is the only Gym Leader to appear outside of his Gym in [[Generation I]], a feature that would become more and more common up to [[Generation IV]], where ''all'' Gym Leaders in the featured regions appear outside of their Gym in one way or another.
* In ''[[How I Became a Pokémon Card]]'', a short {{pkmn|manga}} by [[Kagemaru Himeno]], he and {{TP|Giovanni|Persian}} were shown to have been together for a long time, as he rescued the cat when he was a child.
* In the English version of {{Eng|Pokémon Stadium}}, his name is misspelled ''Giovani'' (with one n). This is because the space for Trainer names only allows seven characters, whilst Giovanni's name has eight.
* According to the [[Pokémon Adventures]] manga, Giovanni's birthday is August 1st and his blood type is O.
* In [[Pokémon Live!]] it is stated that he dated [[Delia Ketchum]], though this is both unmentioned and unconfirmed in the anime.
* Both Giovanni and [[Juan]] are the eighth Gym Leader in a region introduced in an odd-numbered generation. Both of their names are a foreign version of the name "John". Also, in Generation III, the manuals show them to be an unknown Gym Leader.
* The way that Giovanni takes care of his Persian could be a reference to the supervillain {{wp|Ernst Stavro Blofeld}} in the James Bond films.
* In the English dub of the {{pkmn|anime}}, Giovanni is the first character to regain his original voice actor following the voice actor switch.
* In the official Red and Blue guide from [[Nintendo Power]], Giovanni was labeled to be a regional boss of Team Rocket (implying he's not the absolute leader). This was invalidated in {{3v2|Gold|Silver|Crystal}}, where it was made clear that Giovanni was the absolute Leader of Team Rocket (even having an [[Team Rocket HQ|office in Johto]]).
* Despite being mentioned throughout Gold, Silver and Crystal, he is the only Kanto Gym Leader to not appear in all [[generation]]s Kanto does.
* Giovanni was the first [[Gym Leader]] who can be battled more than once, and is still the only one who can be battled before the Gym battle.
** This also makes him one of three Gym Leaders who does not give a badge to the {{player}} immediately after the first defeat, the other two being [[Whitney]] and [[Clair]].
* In [[Pokémon Adventures]], Giovanni is the only evil team leader who is still alive ''after'' his exploits.
** However, characters may not consider [[Pryce]], [[Maxie]], [[Archie]] or [[Cyrus]] to be dead, since they were last seen disappearing into ''Time'' and ''Space''.
* He is the only Gym Leader to have two titles in the same game as being Gym Leader. The titles consist of him being called "Boss" and "Gym Leader."

* While there have previously been many event Pokémon, due to his status in HeartGold and SoulSilver, Giovanni is the first event Trainer.
* While in the Gym Battle in [[Generation I]], he owns a level 50 Rhydon, it is replaced by a level 50 Rhyhorn in [[Generation III]].
* Giovanni's Nidoking and Rhydon, both being at level 55 during the Gym battle in Yellow, are the highest leveled Pokemon to be owned by a Gym Leader during the initial battle with them.
* Giovanni is the only criminal boss not to endanger a [[legendary Pokémon]] with his exploits in the games. This is {{an|Mewtwo|not the case}} in the anime.
** Giovanni is also the only Gym Leader in either anime or manga to use a legendary Pokémon.
* Giovanni is likely based on the boss of a {{wp|Yakuza}} faction, possibly more on the {{wp|bakuto}} factions than others, considering [[Team Rocket]]'s former ownership of the [[Celadon Game Corner]]. Outside of Japan, this reference is localized, making him more akin to a {{wp|Mafia}} boss (most especially considering his English name being Italian in origin).
* Giovanni and {{ga|Blue}} are the only two Trainers to have three different battle themes.
** Coincidentally, both were the leader of [[Viridian Gym]] at one point.

'''Metagross''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''メタグロス''' ''Metagross'') is a dual-type {{2t|Steel|Psychic}} [[pseudo-legendary]] Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolves]] from {{p|Metang}} starting at [[level]] 45. It is the final form of {{p|Beldum}}.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Metagross has the appearance of a tremendous, quadrupedal tank-like Pokémon. Its turquoise-colored, discus-shaped main body appears to be its head, as it lies at the center point where its legs branch out to give the impression of a mechanized arachnid. Each leg could be viewed as the body of a former {{p|Beldum}}, and its head/body as the four collective heads of Beldum used to fuse into it. Metagross has a metallic cross adorning its face diagonally between its two red eyes, often viewed as the letter "X" by onlookers, and this cross-shape is arranged to resemble both metallic "eyebrows" and a metallic "mustache." This is said to represent Metagross's wise, computative nature.

In the same way that its pre-evolved form {{p|Metang}} is comprised by two {{p|Beldum}}, a still more basic evolution stage, so is Metagross formed by the joining of two Metang. This essentially means that four Beldum make up a Metagross (this could be compared to {{p|Magneton}} or {{p|Magnezone}}, both of which are comprised of 3 {{p|Magnemite}}). However, four Beldum come nowhere near to the size of a Metagross.

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

====Special abilities====
Metagross's intelligence is extraordinarily high: not only does it have four brains (one from each Beldum) but they are also connected by a highly complex neural network. Its developed cerebral powers are said to surpass even those of a supercomputer, similar to {{p|Alakazam}}. As a {{type2|Psychic}} Pokémon, it can also use psychic abilities, including the ability to render its massive body airborne by telekinesis once it draws its legs together. Metagross's movepool isn't that much different than than its predecessor, Metang. The only two moves that Metagross can learn that Metang lacks are {{m|Hammer Arm}} and {{m|Giga Impact}}.

===Behavior===
Possessing four brains, Metagross is an extremely wise Pokémon with unmatched intelligence. However, it is known to be a vicious predator-using its weight, it traps its prey under its body and devours them. Some are very aggressive and territorial of their homes and will not hesitate to attack intruders that trespass uninvited.

===Habitat===
[[File:Roughterrain.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Rough-terrain Pokémon}}]]
This Pokémon lives in mountainous areas, but are otherwise very rare. It can easily live comfortably on very steep slopes by planting its legs into rock or ground.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}
Metagross is a brutal predator. When hunting, it pins its prey to the ground under its massive body. It then eats the helpless victim using its large mouth on its stomach.

==In the anime==
[[File:MetagrossAnime.png|thumb|right|250px|Metagross in the anime]]
Metagross was first seen in ''[[M07|Destiny Deoxys]]'' under the ownership of {{mo|Rebecca}}.

Metagross's anime debut was in ''[[AG125|Like a Meowth to a Flame]]'' as one of {{ho|Tyson}}'s Pokémon.

{{FB|Salon Maiden|Anabel}}'s Metagross was seen in ''[[AG169|Talking a Good Game]]'' and ''[[AG170|Second Time's the Charm]]''.

A Metagross also appeared in ''[[DP051|Glory Blaze!]]'' belonging to a {{OBP|Psychic|Trainer class}}.

A wild {{shiny}} Metagross appeared in ''[[DP117|Noodles: Roamin' Off]]'' where it attacked [[Team Rocket]]. It [[Anime move errors|somehow knew]] how to {{m|Lock-On}} to its target, despite the species being incapable of knowing this move.

A wild Metagross appeared in ''[[DP158|Regaining the Home Advantage!]]'', where it battled non-stop with a {{p|Magnezone}}. These two Pokémon normally battled with each other on a regular basis until their "battle arena" (a deep crater) became filled with water. Because their crater was no longer usable, they took their battle to the streets of a nearby town, and continued fighting, causing much collateral damage.

==In the manga==
[[Steven Stone]] in [[Pokémon Adventures]] owns a Metagross. It's his flight Pokémon, carrying him from place to place with its levitation abilities. He also owns a {{p|Metang}} and many {{p|Beldum}}, which, along with his Metagross, help dig out and find rare stones in caves.

==Other appearances==
===[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]===
[[File:SSBB Metagross.png|220px|right|thumb|Metagross in Super Smash Bros Brawl]]
Upon its release from its [[Poké Ball]], it will stay in one place and repeatedly use {{m|Earthquake}}. Anyone caught underneath the Pokémon will be buried into the ground and thus unable to move for a few moments.

Metagross was featured as one of the Pokémon released from a Poké Ball in the demo of [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]] at Jumpfesta, however, it hovered above the stage before attacking, unlike in the actual game.

==Trivia==
* Metagross is the only non-legendary Pokémon whose first evolutionary stage ({{p|Beldum}}) isn't available before defeating the Champion, in {{3v2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}.
* Metagross's number in the [[List of Pokémon by Hoenn Pokédex number|Hoenn Pokédex]] and the [[List of Pokémon by Fiore Browser number|Fiore Browser]] is the same: 192. This makes it one of thirteen Pokémon (only five evolution families) to have the same numbers in more than one [[Pokédex]]-like listing.
* Metagross has the highest {{stat|Attack}} stat of any Steel-type and the third highest of any Psychic-type Pokémon after the Attack and Normal forms of {{p|Deoxys}} (i.e. highest Attack of all non-legendary {{type2|Psychic}}).
* Metagross and its evolutionary relatives are the only non-[[legendary Pokémon]] with a [[catch rate]] of 3.

===Origin===
Metagross is similar to a {{wp|crab}}. It appears to also be based on a {{wp|super computer}}, given its mechanical stature and sheer intelligence.

====Name origin====
Its name may be a combination of ''metal'' and ''cross'', referring to the mark on its face. It may also be derived from the words ''metal'' and ''[[wp:gross (unit)|gross]]'', referring to its weight (1212 pounds), or the same German word that means ''big''.

==In other languages==
*[[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Metagross
*[[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Metalosse
*[[List of Korean Pokémon names|Korean]]: 메타그로스 ''Metagross''
*[[List of Chinese Pokémon names|Chinese (Taiwan)]]: 巨金怪 ''Jù Jīn Guài'' - Literally "Giant metal monster".

==Trivia==
* Pokémon Stadium 2 makes available a special {{p|Gligar}} that knows Earthquake, a move it cannot have legally otherwise in [[Generation II]].
* In Generations III and IV all of the final evolved starters could learn Earthquake by TM26.
**However, {{game|Black and White|s}} broke this tradition, with only one final evolved starter of the [[Isshu]] region, {{p|Enbuoo}}, being able to learn Earthquake by any method.
* Tyranitar is the only Pokémon who learns Earthquake by leveling up to not gain [[Same-type attack bonus|STAB]] when used.
* This move caused, for the first time ever, [[AG101 (unaired)|an episode]] being banned in Japan first, due to the {{wp|2004 Chuetsu earthquake}}s having struck the country a couple of weeks before the episode in question was intended to air.
* Earthquake has the highest fixed attack power of any move with 100% accuracy and no drawbacks (tied with {{m|Judgment}}). This is mitigated by the sheer number of Pokémon immune to ground type moves by being {{type2|Flying}} or having {{a|Levitate}}.
* Earthquake has not been used in the [[anime]] since [[AG101]] in 2004, which was never aired due to the planned premier being days after the {{wp|2004 Chūetsu earthquake}} struck Japan.

Ice Rock

{{outdated|needs=Black and White location and info}}
[[File:Icerock.jpg|thumb|right|Ice Rock]]
[[File:Ice rock t.png]] '''Ice Rock''' is a small rock a short way south from [[Snowpoint City]] on {{rt|217|Sinnoh}} that was originally thought to cause an {{p|Eevee}} trained nearby to evolve into {{p|Glaceon}}; in reality, Eevee need only be leveled up anywhere on Route 217.

Ice Rock is located in an area where the blizzard is very rough, on the easternmost part of the route. It actually appears that the rock is located in the backyard of a house that is near a female [[Skier]]. It is surrounded by long grass.

There is a larger Ice Rock present in the basement of the [[Ridge]] in the [[Isshu]] Region, just west of [[Sekka City]]. It is located in the lowest floor, past an NPC who presents you with [[Fossils]] of previous regions.

==In the anime==
[[File:Icerockanime.png|thumb|left|{{an|May}} and her {{TP|May|Glaceon}} near Ice Rock in the anime]]
The Ice Rock was shown in a flashback in ''[[DP076|A Full Course Tag Battle!]]''. {{an|May}} and her {{p|Eevee}} discovered the Ice Rock near [[Snowpoint City]]. Unlike the games where an Eevee needs to be leveled up near the Ice Rock or anywhere on Route 217, May's Eevee only needed to touch the Ice Rock and it promptly evolved into a {{TP|May|Glaceon}}.
{{-}}

==In side games==
Due to the Ice Rock's absence in [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness]], {{p|Eevee}} evolves into {{p|Glaceon}} through the use of the [[Rocks|Frozen Rock]].

Moss Rock

2010-10-09T11:17:58Z

Empoleon9:

{{outdated|needs=Black and White location and info}}
[[File:Mossrock.jpg|thumb|right|Moss Rock]]
[[File:Moss rock t.png]] '''Moss Rock''' is a small rock located within [[Eterna Forest]]. It was originally thought that leveling up an {{p|Eevee}} nearby would allow it to [[evolution|evolve]] into {{p|Leafeon}}, but in reality, Eevee will evolve if leveled up anywhere in the forest (except for the [[Old Chateau]] and the [[Eterna Forest#Additional path|path]] that encompasses the outskirts of the forest).

The rock itself is located in the southeastern section of the forest near a formation of trees that resembles a sideways L. Directly to the trees' left is Moss Rock, surrounded by long grass.

In [[Isshu]] there is a larger Moss Rock present than the one in [[Sinnoh]] in [[Yaguruma Forest]], where Eevee can be evolved to Leafeon. It is located near the South west of the forest.

Unlike its [[Ice Rock|counterpart]] on {{rt|217|Sinnoh}}, which was encountered by {{an|May}} and her {{TP|May|Eevee}}, Moss Rock has not yet been seen in the anime despite {{Ash}} and {{Ashfr|his friends}} spending a three-episode arc in Eterna Forest with [[Cheryl]].

Due to the Moss Rock's absence in [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness|Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time, Darkness]] and [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky|Sky]], {{p|Eevee}} evolves into {{p|Leafeon}} through the use of the [[Rocks|Mossy Rock]]. As the Moss Rock is also not present in {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, {{p|Eevee}} cannot evolve into {{p|Leafeon}} at all unless it is traded the other [[Generation IV]] games, {{3v2|Diamond|Pearl|Platinum}}.

'''Wooper''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ウパー''' ''Upah'') is a dual-type {{2t|Water|Ground}} Pokémon.

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

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Wooper is a mostly blue amphibious Pokémon that bears a resemblance to a real-life animal known as an {{wp|Axolotl}}. Wooper stands upright on its small, round feet, and has a large, thick tail. Wooper also has purple-colored, branching gills coming out of the sides of its head, and what look like dark-blue, curved gill-like markings on its torso. Wooper’s head is large compared to its body, its mouth is wide and its eyes are small, round, and black in coloration.

====Gender differences====
Female Wooper have smaller gills on the sides of their heads.

====Special abilities====
Being a dual Water-and-Ground-type Pokémon, Wooper is able to use moves of both types, such as {{M|Water Gun}} and various mud-based attacks. The film covering Wooper’s body when it walks on land is also poisonous, and can cause a shooting pain if touched barehanded. Wooper also have the ability to restore health if struck by a Water-type attack.

====Behavior====
Wooper tend to be dull-witted Pokémon as implied in ''[[PK10|Trouble in Big Town]]''. They tend to be oblivious to their surroundings. They also share this trait with their evolution {{p|Quagsire}}. Wooper lives in cold water most of the time, but it will on occasion leave the water to search for food when the temperature cools in the evening. While walking on land, it coats its body with a slimy, toxic film that keeps its skin from dehydrating and insulates itself against the cold. In the water, Wooper partially buries itself in the mud at the bottom to sleep.

===Habitat===
[[Image:Watersedge.gif|right|frame|{{DL|List of Pokémon by habitat|Water's-edge Pokémon}}]]
Wooper live in cold water, but will occasionally travel over the land in evening in search of food.

==Trivia==
* Although Wooper has no arms, it can still learn {{m|Ice Punch}}.
* The blue [[Pokémon mini]] was modeled after Wooper.
* Wooper is one of the first Pokémon to have its gender difference revealed in [[Generation IV]], along with {{p|Scizor}}.

===Origin===
{{bulbanews|On the Origin of Species: Wooper}}
Wooper seems to be based on a larval {{wp|axolotl}}, which have flat tails and feathery, external gills. Its shiny sprite also matches its color to that of a larval axolotl.

====Name origin====
Wooper's English name appears to be based directly on its Japanese name, ''Upah''/"Wooper". ''Upa'' is drived from "Wooper Looper", a marketing term created in Japan that started a pet salamander raising fad in Japan. Wooper Loopers (or "Upa") are the Japanese term for the larval stages of the {{wp|axolotl}}, a species of {{wp|salamander}}.

==In other languages==
*[[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Felino
*[[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Axoloto - From ''axolotl''.
*[[List of Korean Pokémon names|Korean]]: 우파 ''Upa''
*[[List of Chinese Pokémon names|Chinese (Taiwan)]]: 烏波 ''Wū Bō'' - Transliteration of its Japanese name.

==Trivia==

* Interestingly, [[Whitney]] and [[Morty]] are wearing their old clothes from the original series in Ash's flashback, and not their new outfits from [[Generation IV]], like [[Clair]] was in [[DP143]]. Though, this is probably due to them only appearing in Ash's flashback, as he has only seen them in those specific outfits.

S.S. Aqua

|location_name=S.S. Aqua

|translated_name=S.S. Aqua
|location=[[Olivine City]], [[Vermilion City]]
|region=Johto
|generation={{gen|II}}, {{gen|IV}}
}}
The '''S.S. Aqua''' (Japanese: '''アクアごう''' ''S.S. Aqua'') is a ferry service that [[Transportation in Pokémon|runs]] between [[Johto]] and [[Kanto]]. It doesn't run nearly as often as the [[Magnet Train]], the only other method of transportation between Johto and Kanto in the [[Generation II]] and {{Gen|IV}} games. It travels between [[Olivine City]] and [[Vermilion City]]. A player can only travel on this ship after defeating the Johto [[Pokémon League]].

==Geography==
When the player first rides the ship to Vermilion City, a man will bump into them as they board and explain he's lost his granddaughter. Once the player enters the lower deck, a crewman will deny them access and ask them to locate a co-worker who is slacking off on the floor above. The crewman is a Sailor in a previously empty room, and once beaten the crewman below will let the player pass. After traversing through the lower deck, the player finds the man's granddaughter. The player takes her back to her grandfather, at which point the ferry arrives in Vermilion and the player can depart.

After the initial trip to Kanto (which can happen on any day of the week), the S.S. Aqua can be sailed 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. If the player returns to the city they boarded the ferry from and boards it again, they can battle the trainers again. This can be useful for leveling up lower-level Pokémon and earning money fairly quickly.

The '''Lake of Rage''' (Japanese: '''いかりのみずうみ''' ''Lake of Rage''), also known as '''Gyarados Lake''', is a location in [[Johto]]. It is located just north of [[Mahogany Town]], connecting it with {{rt|43}}, making it the northern-most accessible point of the [[Johto]] region. A large lake spans the area of the Lake of Rage, with a few residents living nearby. It is said to be the largest lake in the region. West of the lake lies a labyrinth of trees, which hides a house.

It is said the Lake of Rage was created the last time many {{p|Gyarados}} got together and stirred up a storm. The crater that remained filled with rainwater and became the Lake of Rage. In the middle of the lake dwells a {{shiny2}} [[Red Gyarados|Gyarados]] that had recently became irritable due to the radio waves transmitted by [[Team Rocket]] from their hideout in [[Mahogany Town]]. The Lake of Rage was considered a dangerous place to go, as the [[red Gyarados]] started tipping over boats and scaring swimmers.

==In the games==

[[Image:Lake_of_Rage_GenIV.PNG‎|thumb|In [[Generation IV]]. Normal Lake appearance (top) and flooded appearance (bottom).]]
The Lake of Rage is located north of [[Route 43]]. Along the way to the Lake of Rage, the {{player}} will meet several members of [[Team Rocket]]. By {{m|surf}}ing into the middle of the lake, the player will encounter a [[red Gyarados]]. After catching, defeating or fleeing from it, the {{player}} will receive a {{DL|List of key items in Generation II|Red Scale}}. [[Lance]], of the [[Elite Four]], will be waiting for the player on the shore afterwards, and will speak of the secret [[Team Rocket]] hideout in [[Mahogany Town]].

Northwest of the lake, there is a house hidden within a labyrinth of trees. Inside, a man will give players {{TM|10|Hidden Power}} for locating the reclusive house. The path to this house begins in Route 43, on the western side, and crossing the lake is not required. [[Wesley]] is found near this house, and will give the player a {{DL|Type-enhancing item|Black Belt}} on Wednesdays.

Southeast of the lake is another house, where a [[Fishing Brothers|Fishing Guru]] resides. His greatest dream is to see the world's largest {{p|Magikarp}}, and he regularly measures those brought to him in order to realize it. If the player brings him a large enough {{p|Magikarp}}, he will give the player an {{DL|Ether|Elixir}} as a prize.

The player can also {{m|Fly}} to the Lake of Rage; it is the only destination in any game that can be flown to where the player will not land in front of a building.

In {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}} it is raining at the lake. While it's raining, the lake appears to be flooded. The rain will not always be there and when it isn't, the lake reverts back to normal size.

== In the anime ==

The Lake of Rage was featured in the episodes ''[[EP235|Talkin' 'Bout an Evolution]]'' and ''[[EP236|Rage Of Innocence]]''. [[Team Rocket]] attempts to capture the [[Red Gyarados]], and also force other Pokémon to evolve and reach the "Red State". Their plans are thwarted by [[Lance]], {{Ash}} and {{Ashfr|his friends}}, and Lance captures the Red Gyarados.

== In the manga ==
The Lake of Rage appears in the ''[[Pokémon Special]]'' manga.

{{Special|Gold}} follows {{Special|Silver}} to the Lake of Rage. Looking for him, Gold is surprised by a group of Gyarados thrashing around in the water. The locals flee, but Gold spots Silver running towards the lake. Nearly crushed by a glancing attack, Silver tells Gold that there are strange radio waves in the area, forcing the wild Pokémon to evolve. Silver flies off to find the source of the radio waves, leaving Gold alone to deal with multiple angry wild Gyarados by himself.

Interference on their [[PokéGear]] reveals the source to be a red Gyarados in the center of the swarm. Silver captures it, thus stopping the rest from rampaging. But it's only a matter of seconds before the two boys begin arguing again.

Suddenly, a fog covers the area. Gold instantly recognizes it as that of the [[Mask of Ice]]. Secretly setting up a ring of razor-sharp icicles around them, the two boys fight along side each other, before the Mask's taunting gets the better of Silver. Chasing after him alone, Silver calls upon all of the wild Gyarados in the Lake (as the red Gyarados is the leader of them) and uses their combined strength to attack the Mask.

Meanwhile, Gold is busy dealing with some of the Mask's Pokémon by himself. After cleverly defeating them, he hurries after Silver, only to find the entire lake frozen solid. Silver and his Gyarados are knocked out. Gold runs to him, only to see a giant chunk of ice smash into Silver, throwing him into the water. Claiming that Silver was being punished, he then attacks Gold as well. The last few panels show Gold and his {{p|Aipom}} the instant before a giant chunk of ice is about to hit them, and the impact. Gold's hat and PokéGear are seen tossed into the air.

==Trivia==
[[Image:Betarage.png|thumb|right|A beta Lake of Rage?]]
* There is a hidden, possibly [[Pokémon Gold and Silver beta|beta]] area in the games, possibly [[Mahogany Town]], that includes a [[Pokémon Center]], [[Poké Mart]], and even a [[Pokémon Gym]] surrounding a lake that is a similar size and shape to the Lake of Rage. Needless to say, it must have been an abandoned attempt at a prototype city. This area is inaccessible via normal gameplay.
*A remix of the background music heard here can be heard on most of the [[Sevii Islands]]' routes.
*Even though it is said that Team Rocket's radio signal is evolving all the Magikarp in Lake of Rage, Magikarp can still be found there at any time.

==In other languages==
* '''Italian:''' ''Lago d'Ira''
* '''French:''' ''Lac Colère'' (Lake Anger)
* '''German:''' ''See des Zorns'' (Lake of Wrath)

'''Steven Stone''' (Japanese: '''ツワブキダイゴ''' ''Daigo Tsuwabuki'') is the Elite [[Champion]] in {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}}, and a powerful wandering {{pkmn|Trainer}} in {{v2|Emerald}}, having relegated his title to [[Wallace]]. He is a {{pkmn|master}} of the {{type2|Steel}}, with a {{p|Metagross}} being the cornerstone of his team.

Steven is the son of the president of the [[Devon Corporation]], and he and his father both collect rare stones. Steven makes his home on {{Ci|Mossdeep}}, and when the Elite Four are beaten in {{game2|Ruby|Sapphire|Emerald}}, he will have left a {{p|Beldum}} and a note for the player.

==In the games==
[[Image:Steven-rs.png|left|thumb|Battling Steven Stone]]
His strategy in battle is to use {{type2|Steel}} Pokémon to find the opponent's weakness.

Steven is the Champion in {{2v2|Ruby|Sapphire}}. In Emerald, [[Wallace]] replaces him in this role.

In {{game|Emerald}}, Steven is a powerful wandering trainer who gave up competing seriously to spend more time looking for rare rocks and stones. He claims to be willing to {{m|Waterfall|climb waterfalls}} to find rare stones. With this hint, he can be found and challenged in the upper area of [[Meteor Falls]] after defeating the Elite Four.

He also appears in {{g|HeartGold and SoulSilver}}. The player will first meet him after they have left the [[Pokémon Fan Club]] in [[Vermilion City]] after collecting the [[Copycat]]'s Clefairy Doll, in which he will appear and inform the player that there's reports of either a [[Latios (Pokémon)|blue]] or [[Latias (Pokémon)|red]] Pokémon [[Roaming Pokémon|roaming]] [[Kanto]] and [[Johto]]. The next time the player will meet him after beating {{ga|Red}} on [[Mt. Silver]], where he will appear in the [[Silph Co.]] building in [[Saffron City]] and let the player choose one of the Hoenn [[starter Pokémon]]. He can afterwards be found in the [[Pewter Museum of Science]], offering to trade a {{p|Beldum}} for a {{p|Forretress}}.

Steven's only appearance in the [[Pokémon anime]] was in ''[[AG022|A Hole Lotta Trouble]]''. He helped {{Ash}}, {{Ashfr|his friends}}, and [[Team Rocket]] escape from an underground cavern.

At the end of the episode, Ash vowed to train harder so one day he could be powerful enough to battle Steven.

His Japanese voice actor is 西　凛太郎 ''Rintarō Nishi'' and his English voice actor is [[Jimmy Zoppi]].

==In the Pokémon Special manga==
Steven met {{Special|Ruby}} while looking through the Granite Cave. During a battle with wild {{p|Mawile}}, Ruby's {{p|Skitty}} bumped into one of Steven's Moon Stones, causing it to evolve.

Steven was well-aware of the danger [[Team Magma]] and [[Team Aqua]] presented, and extended an invitation to Ruby to join the fight against them. Steven invited him to help, but Ruby declined because he didn't like battling. The armlets on Steven's arms are devices he can chip away stone with, to grab and retrieve rocks he sees that are out of reach.

Later in the series, Steven confessed that he and his father, the owner of the [[Devon Corporation]], knew about the schemes of [[Team Magma]] and [[Team Aqua]] quite long ago. [[Mr. Stone]] built the [[Submarine Explorer 1]] so that Steven can seal the Seafloor Cavern and no one would be able to wake {{p|Kyogre}} and {{p|Groudon}}. The backup plan in case it fails would be to unseal {{p|Regirock}}, {{p|Regice}}, and {{p|Registeel}}.

Steven later assembles the rest of the Hoenn Elite Four in order to fight against Kyogre and Groudon. With the help of {{Special|Sapphire}}'s {{p|Wailord}} and {{p|Relicanth}}, Steven and the [[Elite Four]] unsealed the Regis. Steven took control of Registeel and gave the other two Regis to the other members of the Elite Four.

Knowing he would die in Kyogre and Groudon's battle, Steven stepped down from the position of Champion, and gave it back to [[Wallace]], who was actually the true Champion while Steven had only been a runner-up. After Kyogre and Groudon returned to their respective domains, Steven apparently died from the strain of controlling the Regis, but was later revived under mysterious circumstances when Ruby released his {{p|Celebi}}.

Steven later traveled to Sinnoh to collect the rare stones found in the region. He had purchased a [[Villa]] but sold it to {{Special|Platinum}} and returned to Hoenn at the start of the {{Special|Platinum chapter}}.

Steven uses his Metagross to fly around Hoenn. Its magnetism allows him to float atop it.

==Quotes==
===Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire===
''"Welcome, [[player character|[player]]]. I was looking forward to seeing you here one day. You... What did you see on your journey with Pokémon? What did you feel, meeting so many other Trainers like you? What has awoken in you? I want you to hit me with it all! Now, bring it!"''

''"I, the Champion, fall in defeat... Kudos to you, [[player character|[player]]]! You are a truly noble Pokémon Trainer!"''

''"Congratulations! The feelings you have for your Pokémon... And the Pokémon that responded to those feelings with all their might... They came together as one, and created an even greater power. And thus, you were able to grasp victory today! You are rightfully the Hoenn region's new..."''

''"[[player character|[player]]]... No, the new Champion! Come with me. I'm sorry, but... From here on, only those Trainers who have become Champions may enter. You'll have to wait outside with the Professor."''

''"This room... This is where we keep records of Pokémon that prevailed through harsh battles. It is here that the League Champions are honored. Come on, let's record your name as a Trainer who triumphed over the Pokémon League, and the names of the partners who battled with you."''
==== Trainer's Eyes ====
'''Strategy''' -
Pick on the foe's weakness.

'''Trainer's Pokémon''' -
The ultimate Steel Pokémon

'''Self-Introduction''' -
When it comes down to it, I'm still the strongest!

===Pokémon Emerald===
''"Oh, wow, [[player character|[player]]]. I'm amazed you knew where to find me. Do you, uh...maybe think of me as just a rock maniac? No, that can't be right. We battled alongside each other at the Sootopolis Space Center. You should have a very good idea about how good I am. Okay, [player], if you're going to mount a serious challenge, expect the worst!"''

''"You... I had no idea you'd become so strong..."''

''"Come to think of it, ever since our paths first crossed in [[Granite Cave]] in {{to|Dewford}}, I had this feeling. I thought that you would eventually become the {{pkmn|Champion}}. My predictions usually come true. And where will you go from here? ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... Fufufu, even I couldn't tell you that."''

==Trivia==
* In {{game|Emerald}}, when the {{player}} speaks to him in [[Meteor Falls]] before their battle, he makes an error. He talks of their encounter in the [[Sootopolis City]] Space Center. The Space Center is actually in [[Mossdeep City]], and this dialog may result from the encounter the player has with him in Sootopolis in Ruby and Sapphire.
* Also, the battle with Steven against [[Maxie]] and [[Tabitha]] is the only occasion in the [[Generation III]] games where the player teams up with an ally for a double battle. Several others are available in the Battle Frontier and multiple times in [[Generation IV]].
* In the anime, Steven is the Champion with the least amount of screen time, appearing in one episode, while everyone else has appeared more than once. He is also the only Champion not to play a significant role in the anime.
* In {{game|Platinum}}, the person who gives the player their [[villa]] in the [[Resort Area]] mentions that the guy who gave him the villa came to [[Sinnoh]] to collect rare stones. After collecting the stones, he left the region with all the items in the villa. This mysterious previous owner may in fact be Steven, who himself sold the villa to {{Special|Platinum}} in [[Pokémon Special]] and subsequently appeared in {{game|HeartGold and SoulSilver|s}}.
* He is the only champion with no Water-type Pokémon.
**Ironically, he is replaced in {{game|Emerald}} by [[Wallace]] who uses all Water-type Pokémon.

'''Maylene''' (Japanese: '''スモモ''' ''Sumomo'') is the [[Gym Leader]] of [[Veilstone City]]'s {{pkmn|Gym}}, known officially as the [[Veilstone Gym]]. She hands out the {{Badge|Cobble}} to {{pkmn|Trainer}}s who defeat her. She specializes in {{type2|Fighting}} [[Pokémon]].

==In the games==
Maylene uses {{type2|Fighting}} Pokémon in her battles. Trainers who defeat her receive the {{Badge|Cobble}}, {{TM|60|Drain Punch}} and are able to use {{m|Fly}} outside of battle. Maylene is considered a cute little girl, but adults in the town respect her for her power. Maylene's father gambles at the [[Veilstone Game Corner]]. Maylene apparently doesn't know her own strength, as she's totally unsure of how she got to be Gym Leader, and seems rather confused by the whole thing.

Later in {{v2|Platinum}}, the player encounters her upon entering [[Route 217]] where she is apparently {{pkmn|training}} by walking to [[Snowpoint City]]. She doesn't use {{m|Fly}}—even if she could—so she could train herself. She is also used to the cold, even if she is lightly dressed and barefoot. In Snowpoint's [[Pokémon Center]], she says that she admires [[Candice]] for being so studious and that she'll see her later. Later in the game, she can appear at the [[Battleground]], where she and the other Sinnoh Gym Leaders and Trainers can be battled again. After battling her here, she mentions that she believes that being barefoot is healthier than wearing footwear, pointing out that Pokémon go barefoot.

In {{2v2|HeartGold|SoulSilver}}, Maylene appears in [[Celadon City]] and has entered, as well as currently winning, what appears to be an eating contest.

===Quotes===
'''[[Veilstone Gym]]'''
*Before battle
:''"Hello. I'm pleased to meet you. I'm Maylene, and I'm the Gym Leader. I don't really know what it means to be strong, or how I got to be the Gym Leader. But I will do the best I can as the Gym Leader. I take battling very seriously. Whenever you're ready!"''

*After sending out last Pokémon
:''"Oh! But this isn't the end, my friend!"''

*During battle
:''"I'm in a bit of a bind, aren't I?"''

*When defeated
:''"I shall admit defeat... You are much too strong."''

*After being defeated
:''"...OK. You win. That was a tough loss. I learned a lot from it. Please, accept this Gym Badge."''

:''"Gee, I'm hungry... Oh, sorry, it's nothing. I didn't say anything. <name>, I can't explain what it means to be strong. I don't know how much effort goes into being strong... But being with Pokémon lets us keep making the effort, doesn't it?"''

'''[[Route 217]]''' ({{v2|Platinum}} only) 
:''"Oh, [[player character|[player]]]! Um, are you maybe on your way to Snowpoint City? That's where I'm going, too. If I use Fly, I can get there instantly, but I'm walking for my training. I have no problem with this. I'm used to the cold because I go barefoot and lightly dressed. ...Achoo! Oh, that was nothing. Really, I'm not cold at all. I'll be going now. Please take care!"''

'''[[Snowpoint City]] [[Pokémon Center]]''' (Platinum only) 
:''"Brrr... Oh, hi, [player]! Are you taking the Gym challenge now? I'm hoping to see Candice soon, but I'm staying put until I warm up again first. Oh, you should know that Candice is a user of Ice-type Pokémon. I really admire Candice. She's so studious. She wanted to practice against me to learn about the Fighting type. It's because the Ice type matches up badly against the Fighting type."''

'''[[Villa]]'''
:''"...Um, your Villa... Would it be OK if I took a look around?"''

:''"[player], please hear how my training is going. Thanks to my training, I'm beginning to understand the feelings of Pokémon. It lets me choose moves with much more confidence!"''

:''"[player], please hear how my training is going. Thanks to my training, my handwriting has improved tenfold! ...Yes. It has absolutely nothing to do with how strong I am as a Gym Leader."''

:''"...You know those Accessories for Pokémon? Would it be funny if someone were to wear those?"'' (to Candice)
:''"...! Th-thank you so much!"'' (to Candice)

:''"What makes a Gym Leader a good one?"'' (to Candice)

==In the anime==
[[Image:Maylene.png|left|thumb|230px|Maylene in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]

Maylene made her first appearance in ''[[DP066|Lost Leader Strategy!]]''.

After being defeated by [[Paul]], Maylene had lost confidence in herself as a Gym Leader, a position she's only held for six months. When {{Ash}} challenged her, she declined, much to the annoyance of her {{TP|Maylene|Lucario}}.

Discovering {{an|Dawn}} has similar issues herself (following ''[[DP049|Dawn's Early Night]]'' and ''[[DP061|Team Shocker!]]'''s contest defeats), Maylene agrees to have a gym battle with her in ''[[DP067|Crossing the Battle Line!]]''. She managed to defeat Dawn after a hard-fought battle.

She was challenged by Ash next in ''[[DP068|A Triple Fighting Chance!]]'', an even harder-fought battle which resulted in a tie. With the decision now hers, Maylene considered Ash to have battled well enough that she awarded him the {{Badge|Cobble}}.

Maylene also appeared in ''[[DP069|Enter Galactic!]]''.

==In the manga==
===[[Pokémon Special]]===
Maylene is seen training with her two Pokémon. She almost gets hit by Pearl's Monferno's Ember (when the trio was testing Berlitz's newly-earned Zoom Lens) while she was jogging around the city. She challenges Berlitz to a match, adding that Berlitz must use Monferno against her. Later, following the events of {{game|Platinum}}, she met again with Berlitz when she was traveling alone before the battle with [[Candice]] in [[Snowpoint City]].

Maylene has a brief cameo in [[DPA07|chapter 7]] in volume 2, later in the volume she is seen complaining about only appearing in one panel.

|}

==Trivia==
* Maylene is the only Sinnoh Gym Leader in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}} to not appear outside her gym at least once in the game. She makes several appearances outside of her Gym in {{game|Platinum}}, however, when the player reaches {{rt|217}}, at the Pokémon Center in [[Snowpoint City]] before beating Candice, and at the [[Battleground]].
* Maylene's Japanese name is shared with that of one of the [[Kimono Girl]]s of [[Ecruteak City]].
* Maylene is one of the youngest Gym Leaders in Sinnoh. However, the youngest [[Gym Leaders]] in the Pokémon world seem to hail from [[Hoenn]], being the twins from [[Mossdeep City]], [[Tate and Liza]].
* With the release of Pokémon Platinum, the order of three Gym battles in Pokémon Diamond and Pearl are now shifted: instead of being third, Maylene is now fourth in the line-up. Had {{Ash}} fought [[Fantina]] previous to Maylene, he would have inadvertently gone out of order compared to the Diamond and Pearl line-up, but in order for the Platinum line-up. Ash battled the three shifted Gym Leaders in the order designated by Diamond and Pearl, as Platinum was not released until after Ash fought [[Crasher Wake]], but before Fantina.
* She is also the only Gym Leader in Sinnoh to have more Pokémon of the opposite gender than of the same gender as her; in the Veilstone Gym, two out of her three Pokémon are male, while at the Battleground, three out of five are.
* Maylene is the only Sinnoh Gym leader as of yet to have not lost to {{Ash}} at least once.
* To date, she is the only female Gym Leader that specializes in Fighting-type Pokémon.

===Quotes===
'''[[Veilstone Gym]]'''
*Before battle
:''"Hello. I'm pleased to meet you. I'm Maylene, and I'm the Gym Leader. I don't really know what it means to be strong, or how I got to be the Gym Leader. But I will do the best I can as the Gym Leader. I take battling very seriously. Whenever you're ready!"''

*After sending out last Pokémon
:''"Oh! But this isn't the end, my friend!"''

*During battle
:''"I'm in a bit of a bind, aren't I?"''

*When defeated
:''"I shall admit defeat... You are much too strong."''

*After being defeated
:''"...OK. You win. That was a tough loss. I learned a lot from it. Please, accept this Gym Badge."''

:''"Gee, I'm hungry... Oh, sorry, it's nothing. I didn't say anything. <name>, I can't explain what it means to be strong. I don't know how much effort goes into being strong... But being with Pokémon lets us keep making the effort, doesn't it?"''

'''[[Route 217]]''' ({{v2|Platinum}} only) 
:''"Oh, [[player character|[player]]]! Um, are you maybe on your way to Snowpoint City? That's where I'm going, too. If I use Fly, I can get there instantly, but I'm walking for my training. I have no problem with this. I'm used to the cold because I go barefoot and lightly dressed. ...Achoo! Oh, that was nothing. Really, I'm not cold at all. I'll be going now. Please take care!"''

'''[[Snowpoint City]] [[Pokémon Center]]''' (Platinum only) 
:''"Brrr... Oh, hi, [player]! Are you taking the Gym challenge now? I'm hoping to see Candice soon, but I'm staying put until I warm up again first. Oh, you should know that Candice is a user of Ice-type Pokémon. I really admire Candice. She's so studious. She wanted to practice against me to learn about the Fighting type. It's because the Ice type matches up badly against the Fighting type."''

'''[[Villa]]'''
:''"...Um, your Villa... Would it be OK if I took a look around?"''

:''"[player], please hear how my training is going. Thanks to my training, I'm beginning to understand the feelings of Pokémon. It lets me choose moves with much more confidence!"''

:''"[player], please hear how my training is going. Thanks to my training, my handwriting has improved tenfold! ...Yes. It has absolutely nothing to do with how strong I am as a Gym Leader."''

:''"...You know those Accessories for Pokémon? Would it be funny if someone were to wear those?"'' (to Candice)
:''"...! Th-thank you so much!"'' (to Candice)

:''"What makes a Gym Leader a good one?"'' (to Candice)

==In the anime==
[[Image:Maylene.png|left|thumb|230px|Maylene in the {{pkmn|anime}}]]

Maylene made her first appearance in ''[[DP066|Lost Leader Strategy!]]''.

After being defeated by [[Paul]], Maylene had lost confidence in herself as a Gym Leader, a position she's only held for six months. When {{Ash}} challenged her, she declined, much to the annoyance of her {{TP|Maylene|Lucario}}.

Discovering {{an|Dawn}} has similar issues herself (following ''[[DP049|Dawn's Early Night]]'' and ''[[DP061|Team Shocker!]]'''s contest defeats), Maylene agrees to have a gym battle with her in ''[[DP067|Crossing the Battle Line!]]''. She managed to defeat Dawn after a hard-fought battle.

She was challenged by Ash next in ''[[DP068|A Triple Fighting Chance!]]'', an even harder-fought battle which resulted in a tie. With the decision now hers, Maylene considered Ash to have battled well enough that she awarded him the {{Badge|Cobble}}.

Maylene also appeared in ''[[DP069|Enter Galactic!]]''.

==In the manga==
===[[Pokémon Special]]===
Maylene is seen training with her two Pokémon. She almost gets hit by Pearl's Monferno's Ember (when the trio was testing Berlitz's newly-earned Zoom Lens) while she was jogging around the city. She challenges Berlitz to a match, adding that Berlitz must use Monferno against her. Later, following the events of {{game|Platinum}}, she met again with Berlitz when she was traveling alone before the battle with [[Candice]] in [[Snowpoint City]].

===[[Pokémon Diamond and Pearl Adventure!|Pokémon DP]]===
Maylene has a brief cameo in [[DPA07|chapter 7]] in volume 2, later in the volume she is seen complaining about only appearing in one panel.

==Trivia==
* Maylene is the only Sinnoh Gym Leader in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}} to not appear outside her gym at least once in the game. She makes several appearances outside of her Gym in {{game|Platinum}}, however, when the player reaches {{rt|217}}, at the Pokémon Center in [[Snowpoint City]] before beating Candice, and at the [[Battleground]].
* Maylene's Japanese name is shared with that of one of the [[Kimono Girl]]s of [[Ecruteak City]].
* Maylene is one of the youngest Gym Leaders in Sinnoh. However, the youngest [[Gym Leaders]] in the Pokémon world seem to hail from [[Hoenn]], being the twins from [[Mossdeep City]], [[Tate and Liza]].
* With the release of Pokémon Platinum, the order of three Gym battles in Pokémon Diamond and Pearl are now shifted: instead of being third, Maylene is now fourth in the line-up. Had {{Ash}} fought [[Fantina]] previous to Maylene, he would have inadvertently gone out of order compared to the Diamond and Pearl line-up, but in order for the Platinum line-up. Ash battled the three shifted Gym Leaders in the order designated by Diamond and Pearl, as Platinum was not released until after Ash fought [[Crasher Wake]], but before Fantina.
* She is also the only Gym Leader in Sinnoh to have more Pokémon of the opposite gender than of the same gender as her; in the Veilstone Gym, two out of her three Pokémon are male, while at the Battleground, three out of five are.
* Maylene is the only Sinnoh Gym leader as of yet to have not lost to {{Ash}} at least once.
* To date, she is the only female Gym Leader that specializes in Fighting-type Pokémon.

'''Lance''' (Japanese: '''ワタル''' ''Wataru'') is a {{pkmn|master}} {{type2|Dragon}} {{pkmn|Trainer}}, a member of the [[Kanto]] [[Elite Four]] in [[Generation I]] and [[Generation III]] and the League [[Champion]] in [[Generation II]] and [[Generation IV]].

==In the games==
In [[Generation I]] and the [[Generation III]] remakes, Lance is the fourth and final member of the [[Elite Four]]. He must be defeated before facing [[Blue (game)|Blue]], the [[League Champion]]. By the [[Generation II]] games, he has proceeded to become League Champion.

He raises {{type2|Dragon}} Pokémon, which are both hard to catch and raise, but he prefers the superiority of Dragon-type Pokémon, believing them to be virtually indestructible.

Known as a cool and heroic Trainer, Lance has a large fan-following. Lance also seems to have a liking for capes, as he is often seen buying identical capes at the [[Celadon Department Store]].

Lance's grandfather was the elder of a famous clan of Dragon masters. [[Clair]] is his cousin, and his hometown is [[Blackthorn City]].

Lance appeared at [[Mahogany Town]] to help the player fight Team Rocket in [[Johto]]. Lance rewards the player with the {{m|Whirlpool}} HM for helping him put an end to Team Rocket's sinister plans.

This listing is for Lance's Pokémon in the video games in which he has appeared.

===={{g|Stadium 2}}====

In Pokémon Stadium 2, Lance is the champion, who is fought at the end of the Elite Four. As the player must use the same Pokémon that it used against the Elite Four, Lance is extremely difficult to defeat with Rental Pokémon, but not impossible (due to the element of chance). Once Lance is defeated, the player can battle any gym leaders in the Kanto region at any time.

==In the anime==
[[File:Lance LoT.png|left|240px|thumb|Lance in the anime]]
[[Image:Lance Disguised TR.jpg|right|240px|thumb|Lance disguised as a Team Rocket member]]
Lance is a [[Pokémon Trainer]] famous in the [[Pokémon League]]. He is a member of an organization called the [[Pokémon G-Men]].

Lance's first appeared in ''[[EP235|Talkin' 'Bout an Evolution]]''. When [[Team Rocket]] started up an evil scheme at the [[Lake of Rage]], Lance showed up to investigate. He met {{Ash}}, [[Misty]] and [[Brock]] there, saving the children from some formidable [[Rocket Grunts]]. Ash wanted to help Lance in his mission, but Lance said it was too dangerous.

Team Rocket was trying to investigate the properties of a {{shiny2|Red}} {{p|Gyarados}} so that they could learn how to force Pokémon to [[Evolution|evolve]]. Lance was able to destroy Team Rocket's machine and blow up their laboratory. Ash was able to calm the [[Red Gyarados]] at first, but it continued to go berserk. Finally, Lance caught it to keep it from destroying [[Mahogany Town]].

Lance later appeared again in ''[[AG097|Gaining Groudon]]'' and ''[[AG098|The Scuffle of Legends]]'', where he helped stop the rampage of {{p|Kyogre}} and {{p|Groudon}}.

==In the Pokémon Special manga==
[[Image:Lance Special.png|300px|right|thumb|Lance on his {{p|Aerodactyl}}]]
Lance is primarily a villain in [[Pokémon Special]]. As the leader of the Elite Four, he wishes to exterminate the human race, save for a few people who he deems to be kind enough to Pokémon.

Apparently also from [[Viridian City]], Lance was blessed with the powers of the [[Viridian Forest]] as {{Special|Yellow}} was. He has the power to telepathically communicate with Pokémon, as well as heal their wounds.

Lance also has the ability to control or brainwash any Dragon-type Pokémon, as well as most Pokémon similar to Dragons (such as Aerodactyl or Tyranitar).

Lance tried to summon {{p|Lugia}} on [[Cerise Island]] to help accomplish his goals, but Yellow's Pokémon were able to drive Lugia away. This interested Lance, as he wanted to find out who Lugia's real owner was. It wasn't often that he lost control of dragon-like Pokémon.

Lance disappeared for a while, investigating Lugia and working behind the scenes. He gave {{Special|Silver}} advice on how to defeat Team Rocket in [[Johto]], as well as a Tyranitar. Working through Silver, Lance tried to help defeat the [[Mask of Ice]].

==Trivia==
* Lance has battles with two illegal Pokémon: the Aerodactyl that knows {{m|Rock Slide}} that he uses in Gold, Silver, and Crystal, and the Dragonite that knows {{m|Barrier}} that he uses in Red and Blue. Furthermore, all his Dragonite from [[Generation II]], as well as in the double battle against Team Rocket and the first battle against him in the Pokémon League in [[Generation IV]], are underleveled.
* It is interesting to note that as of {{game|Yellow}} Lance has red hair, while a card depicting him in {{OBP|Monopoly: Pokémon Edition|1999}} shows artwork of him with purple hair. This is probably due to the fact that the board game was made before Yellow was released and his sprite in Red and Blue is grayish-blue in color.
* Though his type theme is Dragon Pokémon, in Generation II, only three of his Pokémon are actually of the Dragon type; all of them Dragonite. Interestingly, all six of his Pokémon have {{t|Flying}} as their secondary type.
* Lance, [[Bruno]], and [[Koga]] are the only members of the Elite Four who have appeared in all four generations.
* In the rematch battles in HeartGold/SoulSilver, Lance uses every {{type2|Dragon}} [[pseudo-legendary]].
* Lance is the only trainer the {{player}} can battle with in a double battle, against in a double battle and against in a single battle, in any Generation, so far.

* The dub title for this episode parodies the successful romantic comedy thriller film ''{{wp|Sleepless in Seattle}}''.

'''Pokémon Platinum Version''' (Japanese: '''ポケットモンスタープラチナ''' ''Pocket Monsters Platinum'') is a sister game to {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}}, and is the third [[Generation IV]] [[main series]] game. The game was first seen on May 11, 2008 when a low-resolution cell-phone picture of an upcoming issue of [[CoroCoro]] magazine was leaked around the Internet. On May 15, the magazine was officially released and the game was also officially confirmed by Nintendo. The game was released in Japan on September 13, 2008, in North America on March 22, 2009, and is scheduled to be released in Europe on May 22, 2009, in Australia on April 30, 2009, and currently awaits release in other regions.

Like previous third versions, the region and starting area remain the same, and the player begins their journey from [[Twinleaf Town]] across all of [[Sinnoh]].

==Changes from Pokémon Diamond and Pearl==
===Aesthetic changes===
* {{ga|Lucas}}, {{ga|Dawn}}, and {{ga|Pearl}} have different outfits designed for colder weather, as the entire Sinnoh region has changed in temperature.
* The template for the [[level]], {{stat|Hit Points|HP}}, and name of Pokémon in battle is a dark gray instead of white, and its shape has changed.
* The [[Pokétch]] has been redesigned. Players can now move up and down between apps instead of having to go through all of them to return to a previous one.
* Some of the [[move]]s have been redesigned and have a different animation, such as {{m|Razor Leaf}} and {{m|Spacial Rend}}.
* When Pokémon are sent out from their [[Poké Ball]]s, their back sprites now animate much like their front sprites have since {{v|Emerald}} (i.e., multiple frames of animation as opposed to various distortions and filters). Front sprites for {{cat|Generation IV Pokémon}} and other Pokémon in the [[Sinnoh Dex]] have also changed. Certain Pokémon not in the Sinnoh Dex, like {{p|Meowth}}, also got a change in sprites.
* When battling certain {{pkmn|Trainer}}s such as [[Gym Leader]]s, [[Frontier Brain]]s and {{ga|Pearl}}, their sprites are now animated to move in the same manner as Pokémon.
* Some trainers now use [[seals]] when sending out some of their Pokémon.
* The [[Eterna Gym|Eterna]], [[Hearthome Gym|Hearthome]], and [[Veilstone Gym]]s have all had complete redesigns in the interior.
* Closeups of Gym Leaders, just before a battle, have been changed from enlarged sprites to higher-quality drawings and the terms VS.  The Frontier Brains also have this. The Elite Four now also has this but it includes the player on the left side of the VS. and the Elite Four member on the right of the VS.
* The rooms where the player battle the {{si|Elite Four}} have been redesigned. {{EF|Aaron}} now has logs and foliage in his room. [[Bertha]] now has rocks in her room. {{EF|Flint}} now contains lava pits in his room. [[Lucian]]'s room has only had minor changes to now include four large lights or glowing orbs on the floor. [[Cynthia]]'s room has changed its color scheme and the lift leading up to the [[Hall of Fame]] is now partially contained. The [[Pokémon Center]] at the Elite Four has also been redesigned.
* When entering new areas, the location "labels" on the top-left corner have been redesigned, much like they were between {{game|Ruby and Sapphire|s}} and {{game|Emerald}}.
*All gyms now only have Pokémon of their type specialty.
*{{p|Pikachu}} and {{p|Pachirisu}} are now featured when entering Wi-Fi.

===Storyline changes===
* The player meets [[Professor Rowan]] and the opposite gender character earlier, and obtains his or her [[starter Pokémon]] on [[Route 201]].
* The first battle is against the player's rival, who, as always, has chosen the starter Pokémon that weakens that of the player.
* The player and the rival now encounter [[Cyrus]] at [[Lake Verity]] at the start of the game. The player can also meet Cyrus at different venues such as the [[Eterna City]] statue.
* Both {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Palkia}} appear on [[Spear Pillar]]. {{p|Giratina}}, the mascot of Platinum, then phases into [[Pokémon universe|the world]] in front of [[Cyrus]].
* A new area known as the [[Distortion World]] (Japanese: やぶれたせかい ''Torn World'') is playable. It has floor-like sections floating at ninety-degree angles from each other, creating an effect similar to the art of {{wp|M. C. Escher}}. It doesn't follow the {{wp|Laws of Physics}}, making things like {{m|Surf|surfing}} down a waterfall going up possible. The camera angle switches between perspective and isometric views to suit the angle of the player. It also has moving platforms with jumpable gaps between them. Giratina, when here, will be in its Origin Forme and is also the only wild Pokémon located here.
* At least two new characters were added. One is [[Charon]], a professor of [[Team Galactic]], and the other is a police officer spying on Team Galactic, using the codename "[[Looker]]".
* A tag battle between the player and his or her {{ga|Pearl|rival}} against {{EF|Flint}} and [[Volkner]] takes place at the entrance to the {{si|Battle Frontier}} when the player first arrives there.
* [[Team Galactic]]'s plans for world domination and the layouts of their HQs, such as the one in Eterna, have been changed. In addition, they openly recognize their goal and are more openly villainous.
* Some of the [[Gym Leader]]s have been reordered: [[Fantina]] is now the third Gym Leader, [[Maylene]] is the fourth and [[Crasher Wake]] is the fifth.
* {{ga|Dawn}}/{{ga|Lucas}} no longer gives the player the [[Dowsing Machine]] or the [[Vs Seeker]] near the [[Route 206]] junction; instead he/she meets the player at the entrance to [[Mt. Coronet]].
*[[Team Galactic]] appears in [[Stark Mountain]] under the command of [[Charon]], who seeks to use the destructive power of the volcano to extort money from the people of Sinnoh. The player, with help from [[Buck]], must defeat them. During this event, [[Mars]] and [[Jupiter]] quit Team Galactic because Charon does not share the same ideals as ex-boss [[Cyrus]]. Ultimately, Charon and his two accompanying grunts are apprehended by [[Looker]] and two policemen.
* After the aforementioned event, the player is able to challenge all the [[Gym Leader]]s of Sinnoh to rematches in the [[Battleground]]. The player's tag battle partners from throughout the game ([[Cheryl]], [[Buck]], [[Marley]], [[Mira]], and [[Riley]]) are also able to be challenged in this place. Each of the 13 characters has a team of five Pokémon, whose levels are between 61 and 66.
* The {{si|Elite Four}} increase their Pokémon's levels after the player has completed the [[Stark Mountain]] event. Their levels are now between 65 and 78.
* When one finishes the [[Stark Mountain]] quest, instead of the [[rival]] appearing at the [[Fight Area]] on weekends, he now appears at the [[Survival Area]] in front of the [[Battleground]]. During the first battle, the levels of the Pokémon in his party range from 59-65, second battle 69-75, and third and beyond 79-85. On his last battle, he is the trainer with the highest-leveled Pokémon in all main series games.
* When first visiting the [[Resort Area]], the player receives a villa. Inside on a table is a catalog that lists items that can be purchased to furnish the house in the same manner as decorating a secret base. The player will be visited by NPCs such as the Sinnoh Gym Leaders, the player's [[mom]], [[Professor Rowan]], and the rival.

===Gameplay changes===
* Giratina's cry will be heard when "Start" or "A" are pressed at the title screen, unlike in {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}} which just play a snippet of the title theme's melody. It shares this trait with some previous generation games.
* The Wi-Fi area has been enhanced with the [[Wi-Fi Plaza]], which supports up to 20 people at a time. The new area seems to focus exclusively on mini-games, which include '' Wobbuffet Pop'', where players hit a {{p|Wobbuffet}}, ''Mime Jr. Top'', where players can balance {{p|Mime Jr.}} on a ball and ''Swalot Plop'' where players throw berries at a {{p|Swalot}} machine.
* There is a new [[key item]] called the [[Vs. Recorder]] (given by [[Looker]] when the player first meets him in [[Jubilife City]]), which allows players to record battles in {{si|Battle Frontier}} and Wi-Fi, and share the records with other players over the [[GTS]]. Players can also take pictures of their [[PC]] boxes and share them with other players in a similar fashion.
* The [[GTS]] has incorporated an E-mail system that allows players to be notified of completed trades. Notification messages are sent to the player's actual E-mail address.
* The Sinnoh starters and their evolutions are now allowed in an expanded [[Amity Square]], making a total of 20 Pokémon allowed in the Square.
* Over local wireless, there is a new feature where the player and their friends can put their Pokémon eggs in and randomly swap.
* {{HM|05|Defog}} is now located inside the [[Solaceon Ruins]] instead of the [[Pastoria Great Marsh]].
* The player now receives {{HM|04|Strength}} from [[Riley]] on [[Iron Island]] instead of in the [[Lost Tower]].
* The player can now challenge other trainers in certain [[Pokémon Center]]s. The trainer(s) are located in front of the desk. These trainers change location every day.
* In addition to the move tutors in Diamond and Pearl, three new [[move tutors]] are added, in [[Snowpoint City]], on [[Route 212]] and in the [[Survival Area]].
* The {{stat|Accuracy}} of {{m|Hypnosis}} was changed back to 60.
* The {{m|Surf|surfing}} speed has become faster.

====Obtainable Pokémon====
* 59 more Pokémon have been added to the [[List of Pokémon by Sinnoh Pokédex number|Sinnoh Pokédex]] to give it a grand total of 210 entries, with all non-legendary Pokémon introduced in Generation IV now included, along with their pre-evolved forms and several other Pokémon. The added Pokémon, such as {{p|Rotom}} and {{p|Giratina}}, are now available prior to the [[Elite Four]] challenge.
* Giratina can appear both as Altered Forme and Origin Forme in Platinum. It will appear in Origin Forme while in the [[Distortion World]], and in Altered Forme while out of it. A [[Griseous Orb]] is required to transform it to its Origin Forme outside of the Distortion World.
* The [[ability]] of Origin Forme is {{a|Levitate}} and its [[Stat|base stats]] mirror those of Altered Forme in that the offensive stats have been switched with their respective defensive stats.
* Shaymin's new Forme is called ''Sky Forme'' and takes on a canine appearance. Its [[ability]] is {{a|Serene Grace}} and the form is focused on {{stat|Speed}} and {{stat|Special Attack}}. It will be able to learn new moves like {{m|Quick Attack}}, {{m|Air Slash}} and {{m|Leaf Storm}}.
* {{p|Shaymin}} is able to change between its two forms via the use of the {{OBP|Gracidea|flower}} (Japanese: グラシデアのはな ''Gracidea Flower''). This item doesn't work at [[Time#Times of day|night]] or if Shaymin is {{status|Freeze|frozen}}.
*{{p|Rotom}} has new forms as well. Each of the five forms is a Rotom that has possessed an electrical appliance. Despite having visual characteristics of other types, the five forms share the original Rotom's {{t|Electric}} and {{t|Ghost}} types, whereas their [[Stat|base stats]] are far higher. They also share the original Rotom's ability: {{a|Levitate}}. These Pokémon are not normally available and are therefore banned from official tournaments. The item to unlock these Pokémon in the game, the {{OBP|Secret Key|Gen IV}}, is an event-only item.
* {{p|Regirock}}, {{p|Regice}} and {{p|Registeel}} are can be caught at level 30 with the help of an event {{p|Regigigas}} that has been distributed in Nintendo events.
*{{p|Regigigas}} is now found at level 1, making it the lowest-[[level]] non-glitch wild Pokémon in a game, along with {{p|Magikarp}}. It's also the lowest-level non-glitch legendary in a game.
* The [[legendary birds]] can be found as roaming Pokémon after the [[National Dex|National Pokédex]] is obtained. They roam Sinnoh much like {{p|Mesprit}} and {{p|Cresselia}} do. The player has to talk to [[Professor Oak]] in [[Eterna City]] to trigger their appearance. They are all at level 60.
* {{p|Dialga}} and {{p|Palkia}} appear on [[Spear Pillar]] one at a time after the player has spoken with Cynthia's grandmother in [[Celestic Town]], and obtained the [[Adamant Orb|Adamant]] and [[Lustrous Orb]]s in [[Mt. Coronet]].
* [[Cynthia]] now gives the player a {{g|egg}} containing {{p|Togepi}} after the player has defeated Team Galactic at the [[Galactic Eterna Building]].
* [[Bebe]] now gives the player an {{p|Eevee}} before the player receives the [[National Dex]]; Eevee can now be obtained from the first time the player arrives in [[Hearthome City]]. It is at level 20.
* A man in [[Veilstone City]] gives the player a level 25 {{p|Porygon}} as a gift.
* {{p|Manaphy}}, while still uncatchable in-game, is now required to obtain the [[National Dex]]. It can be added to the [[Sinnoh Dex]] from finding its picture in a book in the {{OBP|Pokémon Mansion|Sinnoh}}.

===Map changes===
*Much like the [[Pokémon Emerald Version|third version of the last generation]], a new {{si|Battle Frontier}} takes the place of the {{si|Battle Park}}. It has the {{si|Battle Tower}}, {{si|Battle Factory}}, {{si|Battle Castle}}, {{si|Battle Arcade}} and {{si|Battle Hall}} as venues.
*[[Twinleaf Town]] and nearby routes now have snow patches.
*[[Jubilife City]] has been refurbished with new pathways and some buildings have animated roof lights.
*The [[Global Trade Station]] in [[Jubilife City]] has been redesigned and now includes a bigger global terminal. It has been renamed as the ''Global Terminal''.
*An arch now represents the entrance to [[Floaroma Town]].
*The trees in [[Eterna Forest]], as well as [[Fullmoon Island]] and [[Newmoon Island]], cast shadows that cover the floor.
*[[Eterna City]] has been refurbished with new foliage and pathways. Also the [[Galactic Eterna Building]] has had a complete redesign, inside and out. It now contains a secret room where Rotom can switch between its forms.
*[[Route 206|Cycling Road]] has been redesigned and now has tunnel-like shelters in the middle of the Cycle Route.
*[[Hearthome City]] has been refurbished with new pathways.
*[[Amity Square]] has been completely remodeled. It now includes a small lake, more paths and more upper levels. The old buildings that previously inhabited Amity Square now contain Warp Panels which transport the player to the other old buildings within Amity Square.
*[[Lost Tower]] has had its color scheme changed and now has fog on three of its five floors, which can be cleared by {{HM|05|Defog}}.
*[[Solaceon Town]]'s houses have been remodeled and the [[Pokémon Daycare]] now has a trough filled with water and tent-like shelters.
*[[Veilstone City]] has been refurbished with new pathways. The [[Galactic Veilstone Building]] has been redesigned, inside and out. The [[Veilstone Department Store]] now has a basement, in which contest items can be sold and bought. Berries and Lava Cookies can be bought as well.
*The [[Hotel Grand Lake]] has been refurbished with new pathways.
*[[Pastoria City]]'s houses have been remodeled and now also includes a board with a {{p|Croagunk}} on it which is located in front of the [[Great Marsh]].
*The [[Great Marsh]] has had its color scheme changed and has also had foliage changed and added.
*[[Celestic Town]]'s houses have been remodeled.
*[[Canalave City]] has been refurbished with new pathways and its houses and library have also been remodeled.
*The player now needs to use {{HM|08|Rock Climb}} to reach [[Lake Acuity]].
*The area of water to the south of [[Snowpoint City]] where the player can get a boat to the [[Battle Zone]] now contains a small amount of icebergs. These can also be seen in the ocean when the boat is crossing to the Battle Zone. The boat has also been redesigned, most likely due to the icebergs in the sea.
*[[Sunyshore City]] has been refurbished with new pathways and its houses have been remodeled.
*Sinnoh's climate has changed drastically. Snow is now found as far south as [[Twinleaf Town]], whereas the [[Battle Zone]] is now warmer. Palm trees can be found in the Battle Zone.
*[[Stark Mountain]] now has more features evocative of a {{wp|volcano}}, such as crags and pits of lava.
*The entrance and exit of {{si|Victory Road}} have become wider, having a [[Poké Ball]] at the center of the arch.
*[[Oreburgh Mine]] now has twin coal transporters starting from the entrance and ending at the entrance to the last section of the mine.

===Missing Pokémon===
These Pokémon must be traded from the other games of [[Generation IV]] or imported from a game from [[Generation III]].

==Connectivity==
*The game can connect automatically to {{game|Diamond and Pearl|s}} once the player has access to a [[Pokémon Center]]. It retains the same compatibility with [[Generation III]] games, [[Pokémon Battle Revolution]] and [[My Pokémon Ranch]] (Japan only) as its predecessors.

==Trivia==
*This is the first game where a [[version mascot]]'s primary color is not the name of the game. However, while no color is especially dominant in {{p|Giratina}}'s color scheme, it has gray elements that the "Platinum" may refer to, and the names ''Giratina'' and ''Platina'' share the same word ending.
* Platinum is the only game thus far to have altered a [[regional Pokédex]].
* Platinum is the first game to be named after a metal since {{game|Gold and Silver|s}}. However, both Gold and Silver are also considered colors, making Platinum the first game named solely after a metal.
** It also makes [[Generation IV]] the first generation in which two game names have the same first initial in English ('''P'''earl and '''P'''latinum). However, other languages have had the same initial in their game names, with Spanish '''A'''zul and '''A'''marillo for Blue and Yellow and German '''S'''aphir and '''S'''maragd for Sapphire and Emerald. Coincidentally, all three of these are the respective second and third versions of their generation.
* According to {{wp|Famitsu}}, Pokémon Platinum is the fastest-selling [[Nintendo DS]] game.
* A small cosmetic mistake was made during the development of Platinum. Normally, when the player picks up an item on the ground, it disappears and the message saying "[PLAYER] received a(n) [item]". However, when the player approaches the Poké Ball containing the Griseous Orb, it displays "[PLAYER] received a Griseous Orb!" ''before'' it disappears.

'''Froslass''' ([[List of Japanese Pokémon names|Japanese]]: '''ユキメノコ''' ''Yukimenoko'') is a dual-type {{2t|Ice|Ghost}} Pokémon.

It [[Evolution|evolve]]s from {{p|Snorunt}}♀ by usage of a {{evostone|Dawn Stone}}.

==Biology==
===Physiology===
Froslass doesn't have any feet, so it floats in the air like its counterpart, Glalie. What appears to be her torso is hollow, as is stated in the Pokédex's entry for Froslass, which is probably the reason for its surprisingly low weight. This "body" appears to resemble a {{wp|kimono}}, especially due to the fact that the red band around her waist is reminiscent of an {{wp|Obi (sash)|Obi}}. Froslass's head must serve as her actual body. Her arms, which hang off the sides of her head like ears, are flared at the wrist to further give it a kimono look. Froslass's head is shaped like a droplet of water turned on its side. The head has two ice crystals on top of it, as well as several holes through which a purple skin can be seen. From two of them, crystal-blue eyes with yellow {{wp|sclera}}s peek out.

====Gender differences====
Froslass is a female only species. {{p|Glalie}} partially counts as its male counterpart, because they both evolve from the same Pokémon. However, a Glalie could still be female.

====Special abilities====
Froslass has slightly weaker defensive stats than its counterpart, Glalie; however, Froslass has more speed than Glalie. Froslass has a few noticeable differences in its movepool as well. For example, Froslass can use more {{type2|Ghost}} moves than either Snorunt and Glalie can (such as {{m|Confuse Ray}} and {{m|Ominous Wind}}) instead of learning moves like {{m|Dark Pulse}}, {{m|Earthquake}} or {{m|Explosion}}. Froslass can also wield {{t|Electric}}al attacks and {{m|Psychic}} much like other Ghost Pokémon.

===Behavior===

===Habitat===
Froslass live in snowy areas.

===Diet===
{{main|Pokémon food}}

While it is difficult to tell what Froslass feed on, they are sometimes found with a [[Babiri Berry]] in their possession.

==In the anime==
[[Image:Froslass-Anime.png|thumb|right|Froslass in [[Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]]]
Froslass had a brief appearance in ''[[Giratina and the Sky Warrior]]'' where she helped [[Ash's friends]] to stop the glacier.

Froslass will make her anime debut in [[DP116]].

==Trivia==
* No other Pokémon has the same [[type]] [[List of Pokémon with unique type combinations|combination]] as Froslass.
* Unlike most other breedable {{type2|Ghost}}s, Froslass is not in the {{egg|Indeterminate}} egg group. It shares this trait with {{p|Sableye}}, which is in the {{egg|Humanshape}} egg group, and {{p|Shedinja}}, which is in the {{egg|Mineral}} egg group, but can only breed with {{p|Ditto}}.
* Froslass and Shedinja are the only two Ghost-types that evolve from a Pokémon that wasn't a Ghost-type, if Shedinja's appearance in the player's party counts as an evolution.
* Froslass is one of three Ghost-types whose [[List of Pokémon by color|color]] isn't in the black or purple category. The others are {{p|Shedinja}} (brown) and {{p|Rotom}} (red).
* Froslass is the only Ghost-type Pokémon that cannot learn {{m|Will-O-Wisp}}.
* Although Froslass is a Ghost-type Pokémon and it is stated that it floats in the air, it does not have the ability to {{a|Levitate}}.
* Froslass is the last {{type2|Ice}} Pokémon in [[National Pokédex]] order.
* Froslass is the only Ghost-type that can learn {{m|Wake-Up Slap}} by level-up.
* As of [[Generation IV]], Froslass is the last Pokémon in the [[National Pokédex]] that evolves from {{p2|Snorunt|another Pokémon}} from a prior generation.
===Origin===
Froslass is most likely based on {{wp|Yuki-onna}}, a female ice-spirit of Japanese folklore.

====Name origin====
Its English name comes from ''frost'' and ''lass''. Its Japanese name may come from 雪 ''yuki'', snow, and 女の子 ''menoko'', an old word for ''girl''. It also sounds like a corruption of 着物 ''{{wp|kimono}}''.

==In other languages==
*[[List of German Pokémon names|German]]: Frosdedje
*[[List of French Pokémon names|French]]: Momartik - From ''môme'' (lass) and ''arctique'' (arctic).
*[[List of Korean Pokémon names|Korean]]: 눈여아 ''Nun'yeoa''
*[[List of Chinese Pokémon names|Chinese]]: 霜童女 ''Shuang Tong Nu''
